Two of the most faithful and tireless workers in attendance upon Dr. Rawlins, and whose indispensable aid was most valuable to the corps of physicians who fought so strenuously to save his life, were Private Nurses Wilhelmina Woods and Madeline B. Dwyer, graduates of Lincoln and Harlem Hospitals, respectively. The attending physicians were unanimous in praising their excellent skill and faithful service.
Wage Conflict With Death
About two weeks prior to his being taken ill Dr. Rawlins caught a slight cold at the Bordentown national tennis tournament, which he attended. He worked all day on the day he was stricken and his last professional act was the delivery of a baby. He went to bed immediately afterward. It finally became his death bed.
After a preliminary examination, Dr. Brown called in conference Drs.

White Woman Drinks Iodine
Despondent Because Colored Lover Put Her
Grieving because, the police say, her colored lover had put her out of his home and having no further use for life, Hannah Well, 21-year-old white girl, 1029 College avenue, took iodine poison about 9 o'clock last Wednesday morning in Spinners Lunchroom, 214 West 135th street, near Seventh avenue.
She had been sitting in the lunchroom for a short time in a despondent mood, and suddenly produced the small bottle of poison and drank it down. The burning substance threw her into paroxysms of pain and she fell to the floor, writhing.
One of the patrons of the lunchroom ran for a policeman and Patrolman Fitzgerald of the West 135th street station responded. On Miss Well's person was found a note addressed to her mother, telling of her love for her colored sweatheart with whom she is said to have been living, and of his unkind act of putting her out. Life was not longer worth living, she said.
Patrolman Fitzgerald summoned an ambulance from Harlem Hospital and Dr. Cadozl arrived to treat Miss Well. She was removed to the hospital and recovered sufficiently to leave the institution the same day.

Color discrimination against "Farina" Hoskins, petite and cute member of Hal Roach's "Our Gang," who appear in Roach's universally famous comedies, caused the managers of "Our Gang" to take residence at the Park Central Hotel, Seventh avenue and Fifty-fifth street, instead of at the Roosevelt Hotel, Madison avenue and Forty-fifth street, where the management would not accommodate "Farina" and his mother, Mrs. F. Hoskins, and his personal manager, L. B. Mathonican. "Our Gang" is appearing in person all this week at the Capital Theatre on Broadway.
A Short Story Concerning E. Elliott Rawlins
NEARLY TWENTY YEARS AGO, when West 134th street was the fashionable street of Negro Harlem, a little brown girl sat on the front stoop of the house in which she lived crying her eyes out because her dolly had suffered a terrible accident. Her head was ripped open and sawdust could be seen trickling through the wound. ACROSS THE-STREET, near James G. Thomas' old undertaking establishment, was located an office in a private house, where, she had been told, people went to have their heads and limba mended. How natural it was for the little girl to conclude that the solution of her heart-breaking problem might be found in that house. Was not her dolly a person? To her, didn't it live and breathe? Hadn't she often talked to it, sang to it and rocked it to sleep? Was not she its mother? And shouldn't she, like her own mother had done many times, do what she could to relieve her dolly of pain?
THE OFFICE was that of Dr. D. Ivison Hoage, who had as his associate a younger physician recently graduated from Long Island Medical College. The weather was warm and the younger physician came out of the house and sat on the stoop, directly across the street from where the little girl was sitting. She had been unable to get up nerve enough to go into the house because, like most children of her time, she didn't care very much for doctors as a whole; the little black bag they carried was always looked upon with misgiv-

Desire for Mixed Board of Directors Not Realized as Dunbar Bank Opens
Except for Roscoe C. Bruce, Resident Manager of Apartments, Harlem Business Men Are Entirely Without Representation-Nor Is Stock Offered for Sale
The desire on the part of prominent and capable Negro business men of Harlem to have serving the community a bank with a white and colored board of directors has not been realized in the opening Monday of the new Dunbar National Bank, located in the Dunbar Garden Apartments at Eighth avenue and 150th street.
Joseph D. Higgins and Arthur H. Thien, both white, formerly of the American Exchange-Irving Trust Company, are president and vice-president, respectively. With the exception of Roscoe Conklin Bruce, resident manager of the Garden Apartments, the entire board of directors is white. The new institution is being financed by John D. Rockefeller Jr., who also built the apartments where it is located at a cost of $3,000,000.
George C. Loomis, white, formerly assistant auditor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, is cashler. The rest of the personnel is colored.
WOMAN SUES FOR EMPLOYER'S ESTATE
LEXINGTON, Ky., Sept. 17. Carolyn Lewis brought suit against the heirs of Dr. Gemian B. Miller last week, asserting that she had been Dr. Miller's "employee, agent, assistant, companion and secretary for many years," and that he had promised to convey his land to her, but had died before the deeds could be executed.
She named Louis Miller and the other heirs as defendants and asked that the court adjudge her the owner of the land.
ings. She had often heard groans coming out of the house. The doctor's appearance on the stoop heartened her and she sauntered over to where he sat.
"Will you fix my dolly?" she asked, pleadingly.
AT A GLANCE the doctor took in the situation before him. "Yes," he replied, and took the doll into his office, telling her, meanwhile, to wait. In a few seconds he returned and the child's heart sank within her as he told her that he would have to take the doll to the hospital, but that he would return in a moment or two. Leaving her, he went around the corner to Lenox avenue to a store which handled dolls and, after selecting one as nearly like the little girl's as he could, returned and presented it to her.
THE PHYSICIAN was Dr. E. Elliott Rawlins, who died last Thursday morning, and this true story of him is retold here because it typifies the life the beloved healer led in Harlem for twenty-two years. The little girl, now a young woman, had not remembered the incident until it was told to her by her mother Saturday night when they were discussing Dr. Rawlins' death.
DR. E. ELLIOTT RAWLINS was a great physician in the truest and highest sense of the word great. He healed the sick, fed the hungry, clothed the poor and comforted those burdened with grief. He even went out of his way to

RACE RIOT BARELY AVERTED WHEN MEN INSULT ACTRESSES
Bill (Bojangles) Robinson Defies Sixty "Crackers" for Hurling Vulgar Remarks at Adelaide Hall and Other Beauties on Stage
Derision and vulgarity hurled at actresses in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928" at the Liberty Theatre by a delegation of Southern whites Thursday night threatened to precipitate a race riot and necessitated calling out an emergency squad of police.
A tense situation was created and fear of a battle seemed imminent. The tumult died down only after the arrival of police, and after Bill (Bojangles) Robinson had defied and reprimanded the disorderly Southerners.
Members of the "Backbirds" company declared that the delegation, about sixty in number, yelled insults to the chorus girls during the performance. "I'd give you $5 to be with you,' and 'How would you like to have that nigger wench?' were some of the unmanly queries they made.
Adelalde Hall was reported to have stopped a number because of the insults hurled at her.
Complaining backstage about the indignities to which they were sub-
fected the girls found a champion in Bill (Bojangles) Robinson, one of the stars. He stopped the show, rushed to the stage, and upbraided the disorderly whites, who, he declared, were from Dixie, and surely had never seen a colored show.
Whites Pelt Actor
His tirade was greeted by a shower of programs, pennies and other small objects. "Bojangles" stood his ground, however, and declared that he would personally return the
Harlem Public School Has Recess Fire Scare
Flames in a supply closet of classroom 5B of Public School 5 at 141st street and Edgecombe avenue in the noon recess period Monday caused excitement in the neighborhood. No children were in the building, however. Those returning from lunchroom and excited parents, hearing the fire, alarms and running to see that their children were sate, were held at a distance by the police.
The flames, licking out in the room to the height of the ceiling, were extinguished by Patrolman George Greene of the West 135th street station, John Dawson, a teacher, and another teacher named McClusky and Custodian John Enright. Randolph Hill, 134 West 134th street, a pupil, returned to school as the fire started and broke the glass in the emergency alarm, starting every alarm bell in the building ringing.
Firemen under Battalion Chief Dan Carlock arrived in response to an alarm sent in by Patrolman Greene and played two streams of water on the smoking embers before the children were allowed to reenter the school.
fected the girls found a champion in Bill (Bojangles) Robinson, one of the stars. He stopped the show, rushed to the stage, and upbraided the disorderly whites, who, he declared, were from Dixie, and surely had never seen a colored show.
Whites Pelt Actor
His tribute was greeted by a shower of programs, pennies and other small objects. "Bojangles" stood his ground, however, and declared that he would personally return the admission fee to all who would leave the house.
Several of the unruly Caucasians started threateningly toward the actor, and were in turn warned by Negro patrons, who comprised a large portion of the audience. Numerous whites in the boxes cheered the actor's stand, and later crowded about him to shake his hand.
Lew Leslie, white, producer of the show, was not in the theatre at the time of the commotion, and did not return until the affair had subsided. He made no public statement.
News of the threatened riot flashed through the theatres in the Times Square district, and almost immediately half a hundred white stage hands forced their way into the Liberty Theatre, backstage, ready to repel any onslaught by the Dixie visitors.
Cops End Disorder
Their presence was not needed, however, as the arrival of police instantly put an end to the disorder. Though no arrests were made, the police remained in front of the house until the final curtain.
"Blackbirds of 1928" passed its 175th performance Monday and is being accorded the distinction of being possibly the finest Negro revenue to play Broadway. With the addition of Johnny Hudgins to the cast on Labor Day, weekly box receipts are reported to have hit the high mark of $24,000.
COP SHOOTS MAN ON SLIGHT PRETEXT
Captain Noble of 16th Precinct Said to Have Reprimanded Patrolman for Act
Alleged to Have Told Officer Sumpter He Would Be Charged With Homicide if Prisoner Died in Hospital
Allen Brown, 24, 239 West 129th street, is in Bellevue Hospital nursing a bullet wound inflicted upon him by Patrolman Ferdinand Sumpter of the West 135th street station, who arrested him last Wednesday on a charge of disorderly conduct at 145th street and Eighth avenue, where tenants at 306 West 145th street had complained of Brown's acting in a boisterous and disorderly manner.
---
Sumpter declares that Brown realised arrest, punched him in the face, kicked him in the stomach and then fled. Witnesses, one of whom is said to have been injured by a police bullet, all did attempt to, escape he did not attack Sumpter. Captain John J. Noble, captain of the Sixteenth Proclave, is reported as having given Sumpter a call down, saying that he would be immediately placed under arrest on a charge of homicide if Brown should die.
"This thing of shooting at prisoners on the slightest pretext has to go stop." Captain Noble is said to have told the officers in the lineup.
Brown was shot in the head, sustaining a scalp wound, when he broke away and fled from Sumpter. An ambulance call brought Dr. Schwartz from Knickerbocker Hospital and Brown was removed to Harlem Hospital in a serious condition. He improved, however, and he was removed to the prison ward. Bowie Hospital on Saturday. The shooting occurred the day before.
Brown is now awaiting arraignment on charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and felonious assault upon the officer.
Officer Says He Was Beaten
Thomas Parsons, 65 Cannon street near Delancey street, down on the East Side, charged with felonious assault in that he is said to have beaten Patrolman James E. Khane, white, of the Fifth street - station, where he was held, was praised in Essay Market Court Friday before Magistrate Dodge and held without bail for a further hearing Monday.
Although it was reported that Parsons had beaten the officer badly - enough about the head - to send him to Gouverneur Hospital, the charge was reduced to disorderly behavior. Magistrate Gaitin in the same court on Monday morning, and Parsons was sent to the workhouse for 30 days.
Newark Con Shoots Man
John Wise, 30 of Newark, may die of several pistol shots fired into his body early last week by Patrolman Joseph Tutch, white, of Newark, following an argument Wise had with his wife in the street, in Newark, on Monday. A revolver from his pocket and a few several shots through nearby store and restaurant windows. Patrolman Tutch then shot him.
An Odd Comparison
In the case of the shooting of Brown, Patrolman Sumpter was reprimanded less than twenty-four hours later, wheroes, in the case of the shooting to death of 'Alceo' McCormick and all eight shooter, by Patrolman Charles Reilly-white, of the same station, Reilly's arrest did not take place until a prominent Harlem citizen, brought pressure to bear in the District Attorney's office two weeks later. The shooting of Seamon, which occurred on May 15 last, was, according to the police, a cold-blooded murder. Reilly was arrested on a charge of homicide and held without bail, but was released on $5,000 bond in less than forty-eight hours. . . .
He was freed on the charge when the Grand Jury failed to indict. He was acquitted by a judge, goner Felix Muldoon shortly afterward; motion for acquittal was denied, decision was reserved and the case is still pending.
The bold assassination of Patrolman Jerry Brossman, white, by three armed men in the prison ward of Fodhams Hospital, recently, is said to have been motivated by revenge for alleged brutality in practicing the third degree upon the pals of the men who shot him.
Woman Says She Was Struck
When William Bell, 37, 24 West 136th street, and his wife, Dorothy, 28, were arraigned in Heights Court Monday on a charge of disorderly conduct before Magistrate Well, the wife testified that she was struck on the arm in the police station by the arresting officer, Patrolman Louis Brossard, of the West 135th street station.
The officer denied the charge, stating that the blue marks on her arm were caused, probably, when he gripped her firmly while she relied arrest on the street, following an argument between herself and husband and a strange man. The officer knocked him down. Mrs. Bellock shot him in the jaw. The defendants were partly intoxicated, Fitzgerald said.
The magistrate found the Balls gave the diocese confidence and gave them the permission.

Midden of Yonkers while they were
chasing Joseph David, Oliver Philips and Anthony Costa, all of Xpn-
kers, whom they believed had staged a hold-up.
The three men, it proved later, had simply gotten into a dispute over the price of gasoline at a garage when someone telephoned the police that a hold-up was taking place. The men made off on their motorcycle and the police chased them, firing their guns.
While leaving holiday services in a Jewish temple, Lawrence Roth, 9, 26 Riverdale avenue, and Charles J. Dahm, 8, 14 Jefferson street, both white children of Yonkers, came inside of the police's bullets. Roth was hit in the jaw and the 38 caliber bullet entered his throat, while Dahm was shot in the calf of his right leg. The first boy is at the point of death in St. John's Hospital.
The three men on the motorcycle were held without ball on a charge of disorderly conduct.
Bronx Citizen Says Porto Rican Was Beaten for No Reason
The following letter, published Friday in the New York Telegraph, tells of the brutal beating a police man gave a Porto, Ricaan for no reason at all.
**Police Brutality**
Editor of The New York Teer gram:
If ever I believed that our police are New York's finest, or that one might expect decent tenors on their hands, these illusions were forcibly shattered Thursday night.
I saw a crowd at 15th street and Fifth avenue and joined it. In the center was a Porto Rican stripping his shirt to show some injuries on his back and speak aloud. He immediately Spanish. As he began putting on his shirt again a cop joined the crowd and told him to move on. Foot ishly the Latin asked for a chance to put his shirt on. Immediately the policeman began pushing him. He was evidently greatly hurt by the officer's pushing, and said, "Please don't. This being the cause of some blows with the cop's nighttick. The Latin began walking, but then turned around to go in the opposite direction, where his home lay. The cop stopped him, and when the man tried to prove to him that he lived east of Fifth avenue his card, it was brutally knocked out of his hand with the club.
Very much impeter, the man shouted out something about it being time for the arm of the law to take a drink down the chin. He took the officer's stuck home, for the officer began charing him. The Latin, wildered, ran up a stool. The cop followed him and clubbed him on the shins and all over his body. . . . Oh the name block there was a placard saying something about the ideals of Washington. I saw those ideals in active operation.

All Harlem Mourns Beloved Physician
All Harlem Mourns Beloved Physician
(Continued from Page 1.)
Beld and Hoage and it was agreed that Dr. Rawlins was suffering with pneumonia. On Saturday another conference was held and it included these three physicians, together with Drs. Granady, Edwards and Peter M. Murray. Dr. Parris was also called in to the laboratory of Dr. C. B. Patterson, 230S Seventh avenue, was placed at the disposal of the attending physicians. Also, all the pneumonia facilities of the clinical laboratory at Harlem Hospital were made available and the hospital authorities gave the physicians even possible access. All the waiting oxygen in the community was put into service.
At first the disease had only taken hold upon the physician's left lung, but on last Tuesday it went over into the right lung and developed into double lobar pneumonia.
There was hope the next day, however, when Dr. Brown announced Rawls' condition as a factory. The hope of the day became the despair of the night, when Rawls' heart began to fall as the crisis arrived.
Drs. Brown, Reid and Hoage were the most constant ones in attendance and were the chief warriors against Death.
The weakness of heart is said to have developed with Rawls, following a case of diphtheria two years ago.
With the aid of injections and oxygen the four doctors brought their friend back from the shadows twice. After Rawls had slipped into the medical room, the second medical skill gave him back to the world for one short hour. He even talked.
Mrs. Rawlins and their four children stood by watching the silent conflict, clinging frantically to the least shred of hope.
The third time Rawlins passed into the darkness, forever. His heart had failed. Death was the victor.
The widow became prostrate and was taken to her bed.
Public Funeral Service
Rawlins' body lay in state at his home and was removed Saturday evening to Howell's Funeral Church, 2323 Seventh avenue, where public funeral services were held at 8 o'clock. Dr. Louis T. Wright, the president, The North Harlem Medical Society, of which Dr. Rawlins was the vice president and in which he was most active during his twenty-two years of practice in New York City, was in attendance.
Also, there was present the West India Committee, of which Rawlins was the treasurer, and the Butlers League, of which he was one of the founders.
Rawlins was also one of the founders of the Citizens' Welfare Council of Harlem, officers and members of which were also present.
Among the speakers were the Rev. Charles Martin, pastor of the Moravian Church, 124 North Street, Dr. Wright, and William M. Kolley, editor of The Amsterdam
Religious services, were held at 10 o'clock Sunday morning in the same edifice, and were presided over by the Rev. Mr. Johnson, pastor of St. Martin's P E Church.

At a conservative estimate Mr. Kellay, in his remarks, estimated that Harlem, cash at least $100,000 for professional service to Harlem's poor and needy, for loans advanced to men in business and various professions and for his financial support of organizations. He was interested in the progress of the Negro not in Harlem but throughout the world. he declared. Dr. Wright Praises Deceased. Dr. Wright, spoise of Rawlins' tremendous love for humanity.

Dr. Rawlins was active on all conventions Negro doctors in municipal hospitals. He was largely responsible for getting Negro physicians in Harlem Hospital.

Hundreds of people passed the halls both the evening and morning services. The profession largely represented. Many of Dr. Rawlins' patients were as mournful over his death as any member of his family. The very air was burdened with sorrow.
Sitting in the front pew was the Rev. and Mrs. Clifton, the uncle and aunt who raised Rawlins. The inform and older minister, perhaps more so than many others, felt weary and heavy laden as memories of Rawlins' youth lifted before his eyes eye. The old man shook with sobs.
The funeral procession, consisting of fifty automobiles, moved on to Woodlawn.
Life and Career
The exact date of Rawlins' birth was November 14, 1882, in the town of Bassettierre, Island of St. Kitts, British West Indies. Both of his parents died before he was nine in that year. He was brought to America by his uncle, the Rev. Edward George Clitton, Episcopal minister and now rector-emeritus of St. David's Church, in the Bronx. The minister's home is now at 313 East 157th street, the Bronx. Immediately after his arrival he was taken to a lighthouse on-the-Hudson, where he spent the rest of his life.

just 50 minutes after the death of Dr. E. Ellott Rawlings, at 3:45 practice in West 134th street, between Lenox and Seventh avenues. At this time there were only three other Negro physicians in Harlem, Malachi and the late Dr. Conwell. The New York County Medical Society and the National Medical Association also claimed Dr. Rawlings as a member. For the past five years Dr. Rawlings contributed a column to The Amsterdam News under the title of "Keeping Fil."
Was Exceedingly Charitable?
Was of Rawlings that he probably gave more freely of his professional services during his career in Harlem than any other physician. No other went unanswered. He was very popular and had won the love and esteem of the community which he served.
When asked some time ago what he believed was responsible for his professional success, he replied: "My method during the past twenty years was to promote Narcissus in so far as the practice of the profession goes. I have gone out of my way to give professional services to the poor and humble of my race and, up to now, that is the reason of my success."
He interested himself in every Negro project that was launched by any agency or advertising the Negro. It is said that he would have probably been worth half million dollars at the time of his death had it not been for his most liberal investment in Negro enterprises, most of which failed. In the New York section of the Boston Chronicle under the date of June 9, last, said of Dr. Rawlins: "He impresses one as being some what grave and reserved; candid, but charitable, combining good judgment with sentiment, always signified and possessed of that good being which is the crown of virtue.
"His philosophy of life, which is service to humanity, charity for all and malice towards none, is well recognized by his fellows in the good name he bears."
His hobbies were music, reading, talking and travelling. His one great ambition was the ownership of a large collection of books written by or about Negroes. He was driven by his widow Mrs. Sara Raylin's a daughter, Muriel, 18; three sons, Earl and Elvin R. twins, aged 11, and Edwin, 9.
Time
oclock Thursday morning at his home. Mr. Edwards was a magistrate's clerk in British Guiana for thirty-two years and became eligible to receive a pension in 1926. He was a doctor from New York. Suffering from heart disease for a period of two months, Mr. Edwards was admitted to the Presbyterian Hospital on July 13. He died on the 13th, also. He entered the hospital on the advice of Br. Richardson. At the time of his daughter's demise Mr. Edwards was believed to be too ill to be informed, but he was apprised of it two days later when he left the hospital and went home, on August 18.
On the night before, he died Mr. Edwards played with members of his family until very late. He remarked that he felt well enough to start to work the next day. He heard some stray cats fussing in the yard and got up and chased them away. The momentary and sudden exertion proved a strain to his heart and he died fifteen minutes later.
Those officiating at Sunday's services were the Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, pastor of St. Philip's P. E. Church; the Rev. John Edmund, pastor of St. John's P. E. Church; assisted by the Rev. Elliott Durant, pastor or St. Ambrose P. E. Church. The palebearers were: Charles Dowen, husband of the late Millicent Bowen; Hugo Haydorn, Cyril Babb, Richard Nurse, George Dudley and R. John Koch. Mr. Edwards is survived by his widow; Mrs. Julia J. Edwards, and five—children, Lucille, Jone, Sarah, 14; Phil, and Edward B. Mr. Edwards' mother, $9. is living in Barhados, B. W. L.; his father is dead, $9. will be nothes to death by letter; a cable was thought hadlyable.
Life and Career
Mr. Edwards was born at Barbados and educated there. For a time he was in charge of a school at Trinidad and later entered the civil service in British Guiana as a Poor Law Commissioner, distributing the poor' to the poor. He entered as clerk in the Magistrate's Court there, also.
He was a vestryman in St. George's Cathedral and a chorister there for thirteen years.
Mr. Edwards was one of the founders of Ulysse Lodge, F. and A. Scottish Colleges, at Georgetown, Baltimore. He returned to New York in 1926, after retiring his chancellor in British Guiana in the spring of that year. He passed the broker's exami-
Law Clerk Held on School Teacher's Charge
William Brandon, 32, a law clerk, 405 Edgecombe avenue, waived examination when arraigned Saturday before Magistrate McKiniry in Harlem Court, and was held without bail for the Grand Jury on complaint of Jessica Edwards, a school teacher 490 South avenue. She charges Brandon with the alleged larceny of $288.75.
According to the story told by the school teacher she gave Brandon the $288.75 on August 23, last, for the purpose of depositing the money for her with the clerk of the Seventh District Municipal Court, 320 West 125th street, in connection with rent payments against her in the court. Bending she charges, failed to deposit the money with the court clerk and appropriated the money to his own use.
Brandon was summoned to court, but Magistrate McKiniry, after hearing the story told by the school teacher, ordered Grant Officer Geraghty to take court action on a charge of grand larceny. The Magistrate then held Brandon for the Grand Jury.
Rockville Centre Man Accused of Larceny

Engulfed in the fury of the West Indies and Florida hurricane sweeping a trail of desolation through the South, Negroes paid a fearful toll in loss of life and injury, and will probably pay more when the wind smashes its way into Alabama and Georgia. In 1,000 feared dead in Porto Rico, and reports of deaths constantly coming in from other islands of the Caribbean sea, the list is being added to by casualties from Florida. Porto Rico has a population composed largely of Negroes and people of mixed blood, and it has felt the keenest sting of the wind. Montserrat has possession, 235 bodies of a possible 250 killed.

REV. IMES DISCOURSES ON CAMPAIGN
Pastor of St. James' Presbyterian Church Says He Is for Hoover
Scores Both Major Parties for Straying From Principles Set Forth by Their Founders—Praises Socialist Candidate Personally
A minister's view of what he considers should be the fundamental issues in the Presidential campaign were expressed in a Sunday morning sermon by the Rev. Dr. William Lloyd Imes, pastor of St. James' Presbyterian Church, 141st street and St. Nicholas avenue.
This was the minister's yearly sermon on politics. The Rev. Dr. Imes' other departure from the pulpit practice is the yearly sermon on Prohibition.
"Personally, I am for Mr. Hoover," he said.
The issues outlined by the Rev.
Mr. Imes were as follows:
True patriotism as opposed to a false nationalism; true morality as opposed to hypocrisy; a righteous social order as opposed to a complacency with things as they are and with things as they have been.
of social inferiority. All men are equal in the sight of God."
Neither the Republican nor the Democratic parties of today are the same as they were yesterday, he said. He pointed out that the new generation of Republicans have
The Rev. Mr. James made it clear that it was not his business to tell people how to vote, something which is not the business of any minister, but that he considered it the duty of every minister to inform his congregation of what they should be voting for.
The Negro race has been traditionally Republican," he said, "but I am thankful to see that now they are divided on politics. It shows that they are thinking... I don't think that any political party or any religious sect has any monopoly on goodness."
It does not matter so much what a man's party affiliations may be, said the minister, so long as he is sincere and honest in his convictions. There are many good men who are diligent, many drys who are disobesty wet, and from these "Good Lord, deliver us," he prayed.
The Rev. Mr. Imes spoke in high praise of the character of Al Smith. Democratic candidate for the Presidency, and said that it was wrong, mean and unfair to attack his character in the election. He attacked also, the Houselynch, while regrettable, should not be laid at the door of the Democratic party especially he stated. America is snobbish, he said, and objects to Al Smith because he is a man of the common people. "While I am not for him," the minister said, "I am not for him," the minister said, "that reason. If we are to elevate ourselves we should make a shamful exposure of rottenness in our idea

of social inferiority. All men are equal in the sight of God."
Neither the Republican nor the Democratic parties of today are the same as they were yesterday, he said. He pointed out that the new generation of Republicans have failed to carry out the high principle of the prefects, especially in regard to the group.
"The party of Lincoln was one thing; the 'party of Coolidge and Hoover is another. I am a Republican, but I am growing to be a very bad one. I'm becoming very restive and critical. The Republican party has departed from its first love, Still I will remain inside the ranks.
The Republican party is giving too much privileges to the already privileged class. Prosperity—how much of it as a race have we goten?
The Negro has been grateful to the Republican party for what has been done for him, but this gratitude the Republicans have grossly abused, he said. "We have proven loyal, perhaps too loyal." We reserve the right to criticise the descendants of the Republican party when they depart from its principles and compromise us. The time has come when we must unite in a common cause with all downtrodden people." As his ideal of a man of sincere purpose, the Rev. Mr. Ims spoke at some length of Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for the Presidency. "Although don't believe in his party, I certainly will follow his demons." Thomas has stated publicly that he knows he will not be elected.
"Success (In the Presidency) is not coming to any man," the minister thundered, "who dares to adventure on the side of truth, love and justice. America is too satisfied with things as they are," he added. In closing his thought-compelling address, the Rev. Mr. Ims again stressed the issues involved and seeing some progress made toward a righteous Government, pleaded that the fight be carried on.

dations.
The hotel wired back, he said, that they could not accommodate "Farina," his mother and Mr. Mathonican. Mr. French then wired to know if "some first class colored hotel" here could accommodate them and the Roosevelt communicated with the Urban League, 210 West 186th street, and is said to have admitted they could not accommodate "Farina" on account of her being colored. After Mr. French received the Jim-Crow telegraph from the Roosevelt, he invited Park Central Hotel in the hope that no discrimination would be practiced there. The Park Central wired its O. K. to take "Farina," Mr. Hosk肌 and Mr. Mathonican, together with the whole rang, include Pete the dog.
in the "Our Gang" company were also Ray Coffin, white, president of the Wampus Club, an association of motion picture publicity men, and Harry Lucenay, the owner of Pete. That dogs have souls may be open to question, but there is no denying the uncanny intelligence of Pete, who can do nearly everything but talk. He is insured for $25,000.
Reporter Jim-Crowed
When a reporter from The Amsterdam News called at the Park Central to interview Mr. French, Monday night, he was treated to a dose of old fashioned, Southern Jim Crowism. The color of his skin promptly categorized him for the other than at the front door and he entered the passenger elevator, also.
The starter refused to allow the car, which was filled with white hotel patrons, to start and the manager was called to ask him out. The manager told the reporter that he would have to take the service elevator because it was the rule of the house and that his presence among the hotel guests. In the elevator would reopen, "I don't think it will," the reporter told the manager, "and I'm quite sure your guests wouldn't give it a thought.
"And furthermore, as a newspaper reporter, I am here to see one of your guests and I don't see why I can't be taken up in that elevator. In fact, the reason I'm here is to investigate color discrimination against "Parina" at another hotel. Now I walk right into another one and meet the same thing.
"And then I changed his mind and called the starter to take the reporter up on a passenger car. But this particular car had closed down for the evening. It was

Farina Feted
Mrs. Elizabeth C. T. Miller, white, widow of a former partner of John D. Rocketeller Sr., "threw a party" for "Farina" at the Ambassador Hotel at Los Angeles in March in celebration of Farina's seventh birthday.
Among those who were a Rajah from India, two princes, Savannah and Vampus, the secretary of the Musical Club, several newspaper editors and publishers, and a host of other notables. Farina was bedecked in a white satin suit.
Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland have all given parties for "Our Gang," who resided en masse at the finest hotels. New York is the first place to show color discrimination, and French. A special party for the groom will be given at the Park Central on the roof garden, one night this week.
Contrary to common belief, Farina is not a girl but a boy. He has appeared in Hal Roach's comedies since he was six months old, at which time the only way to get him to act was by imitating Sunshine cummins and "direct" him, Sammy and "Farina" are not related. Sammy outgrew the gang and went into vaudeville.

including the paying and receiving tellers, bookkeeper, vault custodian, stenographer, the head of the thrift department messenger, and the day McDuvall, Niles Feller, McDuvall, white, is secretary to the president. A few weeks ago it was understood that several Negroes had been tentatively selected to serve on the board of directors of the Dunharn National Bank, but this hope has now been blasted.
In certain quarters the institution is described as "simply another Rockefeller Standard Oil Bank to weed us into depositing our millions of savings in it to be used in Wall Street."
A reporter asked Mr. Higgins on Monday why there were no Negroes on the board of directors except their own man, Mr. Bruce.
"Negroes may in time become members of the board," he said.
Several Negroes have been found by bank examiners to have the necessary qualifications to serve as directors of state and national banks
Prior to the opening Charles O. Heydt, president of the Empire Mortgage Company, a representative of Mr. Rockefeller and a member of the board of directors of the new bank, gave out the following statement: "The Dunbar Bank is an experiment and we must move slowly in deciding upon our policies, and, until we see the response of the representative Negro business men of the city, we will have to delay the consideration of appointing any of them directors of the institution."
Stock Sale Delayed
The new bank has an initial capitalization of $600,000 and surplus and undivided profits of $640,000. It is reported that it was originally intended to offer 50 per cent of the available stock for sale to the Negroes of Harlem in small lots. It is understood that the Rockefeller interests now hold 75 per cent of the stock. When questioned on this point Monday morning, Mr. Higgins declared that he knew nothing of this arrangement, and that the main office would have to be consulted in the matter. The reporter called at the main office the same day and was told to consult Mr. Heydt, but he was not in at the time. Mrs. Bruce, wife of the resident manager, shed some light on the matter, however, when she told the reporter that no stock would be available for until Mr. Rockefeller was sure that the bank would succeed, so as not to tie up the purchasers' money. Scores of people opened new accounts at the bank Monday and many of them inquired into the sale of stock.
It was estimated that 5,000 persons visited the bank when it closed its first day of business at 10 o'clock Monday night.
The small lobby was piled high with flowers, sent by most of the large banks in the city. Letters and telegrams of congratulation were received from the country, and included messages from Dunbar Nelson, wife of the Negro Paul Dunbar, after whom the bank was named; the Douglas National Bank, a similar institution in Chicago; the Interracial Peace Commission and others.

For once the cops disagreed among themselves regarding whether or not a prisoner should be held. Patrolman Joseph Cohen of the West 153th street station said his two prisoners should be held to await the arrival from Sing Sing of the alleged complainant to appear against them. Detective Henry Bauerschmidt of the same station, said they should not be held because, as the result of his investigation, there was not evidence that a crime had been committed. This was the case of Frank Groseau, 29, 852 West 143th street, Bordertown, 21, 238 West 134th street, who were arraigned in Heights Court Thursday on a charge of larceny before Magistrate Bushel, who dismissed the charge. They were accused of stealing an automobile belonging to Joseph Loune, 210 West 140th street, who it was after.
ward discovered, had given Borden permission to drive the car. Loane is not in any way connected with the alleged complainant In Sing Sing, whom Patrolman Cohen said was the real and true owner and for whom Cohen asked 48 hours to produce as a complainant against his prisoners. Magistrate Bushel at first reluctantly consented to adjourn the case for 48 hours when Cohen reminded him that Saturday would be a Jewish holiday, and asked the adjournment for Monday. The magistrate replied that the law does not permit him holding the prisoner for more than 48 hours. He then turned to Detective Bauerschmidt and asked about his investigation. He dismissed the defendants.
Borden told the court that he was on the way to Harlem Hospital with Greene, who had been stabbed, when Patrolman Cohen arrested them both on suspicion. Greene revealed the stab wound. The two men had languished in prison since last Tuesday when Magistrate McQuade held them in $2,000 hall each for a further hearing Thursday.
Alleged Burglar Slain
Detective Frank Gentner of the Wadsworth avenue station focussed a flashlight on a burglar perched on the roof of a building at 200 Djckman street early Monday and shot him. The man died later in Jewish Memorial Hospital, after saying he was Joseph Landis, 21.

Escaped Prisoner ToFight Extradition
Escaped Prisoner ToFight Extradition
James Butler, 39, 115 West, 145th street, alleged, to be an escaped prisoner from the Elberton County jail. In George, where he was sentenced to serve a life term for killing his wife, was remanded to the City Prison without bail by Magistrate McKiniry in Harlem Court Wednesday.
Armed with a warrant of extradition signed by Gov. Smith, detectives from Georgia were on hand to take Butler back when he decided to extradition. Butler, who had previously admitted that he the man sought by the police for escaping from jail, refused to admit that he was the person mentioned in the warrant.
After he was lodged in the Tombs proceedings were commenced before Supreme Court Justice Wasservogel to have Butler turned over to the custody of the Georgia police authorities. Butler was brought before Justice Wasservogel on a writ of habeas corpus. He again denied he was the man named in the war crimes condition or that he was an escaped prisoner. The matter was adjourned for a hearing on a later date.
According to the police, Butler was convicted in January of 1919 for shooting and killing his wife. After the killing he fled to New York, where he was captured and returned to Georgia. On March 19, 1919, while he was serving a life term, he escaped from the Ebberton County fall and again fled to New York. On April 12, 1919, the West 123d street station found Butler attending a performance in the Alhambra Theatre, 126th street and Seventh avenue, a few days ago and placed him under arrest.
Shipped Unpaid-for Furniture to West Indies
Accused of shipping instalment house furniture to the West Indies soon after he bought it, John Rodriguez, 32, 20, West 136th street, was arrested by Detective Connelly of the West 135th street station on a floor of harney and arranged in Heights of harney for office for Magistrate Bushel and held in $1,000 ball for the Grand Jury. The complainant was Julius Blatt, white.
A mass meeting for the oppressed women workers will be held tomorrow night at 8:30 o'clock at the Salem M. E.

of the Silver Furniture Company, 525 Lenox avenue.
"Yes, I shipped the furniture," Rodriguez is said to have stated. "My wife was sick; I saw no harm in doing it." The furniture was crated and shipped to Middle Island, St. Kitts, British West Indies, it is said.
According to Blatt, Rodriguez purchased $55 worth of furniture on the instalment plan on or about August - 13 and paid a deposit of $25. Blatt also charges that Rodriguez made no further payments and surreptitiously left the given address. The names of four witnesses appeared in the complaint.
Watch Tongue For Signs of Illness
Your tongue is nothing more than the upper end of your stomach and intestines. It is the first thing your doctor looks at. It tells at a glance the condition of your digestive system—and physicians say that 90 per cent of all sicknesses start with stomach and bowel trouble.

MRS. FLORENCE E. S. KNAPP of Syracuse, former Secretary of State, is serving a thirty-day sentence in the Albany County Jail because she padded the 1925 State Census payrolls. Although this woman was convicted of grand larceny on May 26, the sentence was postponed until Sept. 5 because of her poor health. Mrs. Knapp has been punished a long time for her wrongdoing. The publicity, headlines, front page stories about her case have all helped to make her suffer. The Attorney General uniquely expressed her condition and position when he told of Mrs. Knapp's "physical and mental suffering, her exposure, disgrace and complete ruin." His urge that she be given a suspended sentence was denied.
Had Mrs. Knapp been a "woman of the street," with little or no prestige, who stole $1 worth of articles from Woolworth's instead of thousands of dollars from the State of New York, she would have had to serve many times thirty days — a sentence possibly out of proportion to the value of the stolen articles. The actual effect of the same or of a longer imposed sentence on a lesser light would have been hardly worthy of mention. It certainly would not equal the effect of even "convicted with suspended sentence," or even the present thirty-day sentence upon Mrs. Knapp or any other dignitary. The shame through which Mrs. Knapp must live is far greater than the money she took.
Every woman who enters politics will have to fight now twice as hard as she ordinarily would have had to fight. She must hold her own and live down the blot placed on women politicians by the Knapp case.—T.E.B.
Y.W.C.A. Notes
Work in the Educational Department began in earnest at the West 137th street branch of the Y. W. C. A. Monday night. Added to the Day Secretarial School, which has proved so successful for the past two years, is a School of Music with lessons and classes during the day and the evening and a School of Dressmaking and Design, which will also be conducted daily, except Saturday, from 9 a. m. to 3 p. m. and from 7 to 10 p. m.
Miss Sonoma Talley is directing the Music School. Lessons will be given in piano, voice and violin. in theory, harmony, ear training and in musical education. There will be a group studying choral singing. Miss Uennie L. Jackson is directing the Dressmaking and Designing School. All phases of the subject will be taught and in order to bridge the gap between an experienced and an inexperienced worker, the course will be developed on the shop plan. The formal fall opening of the building, which is "formal" only in the sense of being set for a definite time, will take place on Monday evening, September 24, from 8 to 10. There will be interesting demonstrations in the swimming pool and gymnasium of the school in the club rooms and in the lobby. At the close of the evening there will be a candle lighting ceremonial admitting new members into the Fellowship of the Young Women's Association.
The members of the community are invited to attend.
Mr. and Mrs. James F. Medley of 441 West Mist street gave a birthday party in their home in honor of Mr. Benjamin Ruston on last Sunday evening.

More Women Than Men Working for Hoover
"For the first time in the history of American politics there are more women than men actively working for the election of a Republican Presidential candidate." declares William H. Hill, State chairman of the Hoover-Curtis committee.
"The suffrage law was passed in 1920 and the women did not get into action that year. In 1924 there was almost no contest. But this year, since there is a bitter contest, they have risen to take advantage of their rights and their combined vote will be a ponderous weight in the campaign," he said.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry J. White, 217 West 120th street, New York, have been spending their vacation in Long Branch. While there they were guests of Mr. and Mrs. William T. Bullock, 430 Hendrick avenue.—(Advt.)

Winner of Fine Bluff Prize Medal in NELSON'S BEAUTY CONTEST says: "When there are so many hair preparations, it is an achievement for one to take precedence over the rest, as Nelson's has done."
The reason for the widespread popularity of Nelson's is that it DOES THE WORK. It makes hair beautiful, glossy, easy to arrange. If that is what you want, use Nelson's regularly.

Confidences Questions and Answers BY EGYPSY ANN
Dear Egyptsy Ann:
About three weeks ago I was introduced to a young man at the home of a friend. Just three hours after the introduction he asked if he could see me home. On our way there he said he thought it was a bit too early to go home, but if I liked to I could go to his-room where we could sit for a while. I refused.
On the following night he called me up and asked me to go out with him. Again he wanted me to go to his room. I left him "flat on the street." He has called me up a few times and still wants me to go out with him.
He is supposed to be a college graduate and from a very fine family. Do you think I should still go out with him? Is the only way that a girl can get a sweetheart or a husband that of performing the duties of a wife before marriage? Aren't there any decent fellows? All come with the same story.
TWENTY-THREE AND FED UP. Dear Girl:
If you've been reading this column, you know my answer already.
Can't you see that the man does not respect you and that he is jam-full of conceit?
Why do you suppose he wants to take you to his room? Surely not to discuss politics.
He is just out for all he can get. Don't pay any more attention to him. If he cares for you, he'll apologize and ask for your company in a respectable way.
Frankly, I believe that he's a big fool and if you put in any time with him you'll be the loser.

Time for
Sweet Potatoes.
Of the vegetables now in season, sweet potatoes deserve special mention. Prices decline and supplies increase considerably at this time. There are two general types of sweet potatoes: the dry meated and the moist or yam type.
Dry mended sweets are the type most commonly used here, although in the southern states the yam type is preferred. Colors of sweet potatoes vary from creamy white to red. They have, however, no significance to the housewife, since they do not affect quality, neither do they identify varieties definitely.
Sweet potatoes are variable in

quality and are more highly perishable than white potatoes, so it pays to select them carefully. Regardless of variety, the ideal sweet potatoes are firm, bright and spindle shaped. The long stringy potatoes entail too much waste in preparation. Decay starts most frequently at the stem end. Look for it when you buy. It costs less to reject the undesirable at the store than at the kitchen.
Tomatoes.
Tomatoes, either raw or in a variety of cooked forms, are standard diet the year around. It would surely surprise you if space would permit me to tell you all that might be done with a tomato. Fry it with your bacon for breakfast and it cuts the grease nicely; stew it for dinner and it livers the rice and potatoes; soup is scarcely itself without a tomato; and then if you haven't the time to do it up, the raw sliced tomatoes are palatable. Below are a number of dishes I have used successfully with tomatoes. Any or all of these recipes will be sent you upon request.

Frostings That Stay Put.
Numerous letters have come in making inquiry as to a good iceing for tea cakes (which are especially delightful for a bridge party). Now cake iceings have always been a gamble. They either wilt or get sticky. But here are recipes for uncooked frostings that can be made in three minutes and are sure successes, no matter what the season.
We must admit that a thick, creamy, "just right" frosting can go a long way toward saving a cake that has not quite achieved perfection in the oven. Clothes may not make the man, but luscious frosting plays a big part in the making of a cake. As for proving its inner worth, what cake ever has the chance when its outer dressing repels rather than attracts? Sometimes the palate seems situated in the eye rather than the mouth.
Since chocolate is, according to the testimony of soda clerks, America's favorite flavor, and sinceudge cake or devil's food is the first every girl attempts, let chocolate then be the beginning of our lichings.
Simply melt three squares of unsweetened chocolate in a double boiler. Have the lower part of your double boiler three-fourths full of boiling water. Then add a can (one and a third cup) of sweetened condensed milk and stir until the mixture thickens. It will take three minutes, no more, for the consistency to be just right. Remove from the stove and stir in one tablespoon of cold water, whipping it just a second to make it perfectly smooth. Your frosting is done. No sugar, no cornstarch, no butter, no long cooking and no uncertainty. Should you desire the recipe for the following frostings, they, too, will be mailed upon request:

Cooking Hints
If you have a custard pie, corn meal, sauce, or any other hot dish that you want to cool, place a few sheets of wax paper on top of it when you place it away. This prevents a crust forming on top.
Look at your tea kettle. Does lime adhere to the inside of the kettle? Well, drop a few ordinary marbles in the kettle—the collection will form on the marbles instead.
Eat raw vegetables to get the benefit of the vitamins and soluble minerals.

Household Hints
Before dyeing any garment be sure it is clean. Dye does not conceal soiled spots.
A soft cloth dampened with alcohol will remove fly specks.
A drop of oil of lavender in the corners of a room will help to remove a musty odor from the room.
A little salt under your baking tin will prevent scorching in the oven.
Experts have decided that you waste instead of save your ice when you cover it with newspaper.

AN OPINION SOUGHT
2155 Fifth Avenue,
New York City,
September 29th, 1928.
Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty,
Spiriting and Dramatic Editor.
The Amsterdam News,
New York City.
Dear Sir:
I would like to read in your paper of your valued opinion "Pergus" in relation to our question. Whether you think it is worthwhile, passive or helpful.
I have taken the position that the play is not detrimental nor passive, but helpful in the way that the players stand out as an example of our race and the "abooting" as a quality that one soon feels the influence and spirit of the South Carolina low country even though one was Brooklyn born and raised. *Mirroring Life*, "Maria", "Porgy", "Crown", "Crown's Bawls" what super acting! Catfish Row, the Palmetto Jungle, Serena's room, the store the internships in the back of the theater that I was sitting in the Republic Theatre and not living what I was witnessing. And then "What's my goat, what's my goat?" and for curtain calls! But perhaps I am wrong, as my friends claim. Perhaps "Porgy" is detrimental to the best interests of the Negro race. We will be guided by your opinion if you would be good enough to give one. Respectfully yours.
J. FORTUNE WOODS.
AN OPINION GIVEN
At a time when Sepoy guns are aimed at us and there has been plenty of smiling it is refreshing to find somebody good enough to want an opinion at our hands anent a Broadway show. Like you, my dear Mr. Woods, we became so encaptured of "Jorgy" we were lost until such time as the int'l missions brought us back to life where our mind wandered in an atmosphere with the sound of crashing cymbals and drums.
We see as see. What about "Jorgy" that is passive or detrimental insofar as the race (or anything else for that matter) is concerned? It is a splendid show, well acted, with appropriate settings, and running with a show that carries under the surface a bit of education that is startling, and that bit is in relation to one of the most simple discoveries we have made in my dear Mr. Woods. The strict attention of "Sporting Life" and
sums of the others? Is it not revealing? Why, surely. It proves conculatively that when the slavers were bringing the Western Hemisphere, brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, in many cases, were separated, some to work the coasts, some to account for the West India, and others to work the cotton fields of our own Southland (dear old Southland, wot!), instead of hurting us in any way. We are not the ones who imbish a vehicle for the outlet of those talents which we possess. Then, too, it is but a reproduction of life as it is and not of propagandizing in behalf of the Negro race. It is the true things of life, when ably depicted on the stage, and when it is so portrayed in "Porgy". It is very bad grace for us to assume that plays like "Porgy" are in any way detrimental to us. Here we are told two hundred and fifty thousand Negroes and not a theatre wherein we can express the emotions and portray that historic background that would encourage to the youth of our race.
Wholly dependent upon the white man for the opportunities which we will not have, we must be a number of the unthinking among us taking exception to such shows as "Porgy," and those exceptions are without merit from every standpoint, with pressure on the companying success, should spur us on to efforts to create theatres of our own where we can do those things which we have been unable to successfully you can rest assured that Broadway will accept them. The god of the white man is money, and when we have been able to use us have in the back of our minds, realizing only too well the fortile background which we possess, Broadway will send her representatives seeking us.
And through Broadway's desire for money will we get our chance to tell America our story in a larger way. If we want to see what we have accomplished from an histrionic standpoint, where in Harlem we could we take him? Not to the buffoonery of those剧院 run by Mr. Robert Loyd, but not! To Broadway we must his curvatures with our stranger in tow. When Mr. Robert Loyd gave us the LaFayette Theatre Players a seed was planted apparently that tree was attacked early infancy by a disease which failed to take in hand when the company passed into our own hands, andempt to plant another seed, and the woman have grown up in abundance where before there was a chance of a bumper crop. It is our own passiveness which plays into the "Forge." And if any your friends should "act up," my dear Mr. Jones, and cite "Lulu Belle" as an example of what should not be, just what that beggars are not choosers.
---
There is no other civilized community in this world outside of this country where more than ten thousand Negroes are theatre or opera house, supported by Negroes who applaud the dramas, enjoy the lighter things and are lifted up to the theatre or stage presentations. Our opportunities to see things are greater, for our economic status is far above those of the other people we have in mind, but, as a Negro, we are not a peaned publication, they are light-hearted and gay, lovers of song and dancing, and their troubles seldom make them misdemean. A bright day is all that is needed to be optimistic, I admit, but we must also be curious and remember that tomorrow 'might rain. We thank you, dear Mr. Jones, for furnishing us the theater, and for today. How do you like it? I don't hesitate to tell you it

(By Romeo L. Dougherty)
There is one outstanding fact, no doubt, many of our readers and a few of our associates in Negro journalism lose sight of in the desire to produce a Negro newspaper trying hard to adhere to the standard as set by the white publications. That fact is that on account of the peculiar position we occupy as a race in this country it is a physical impossibility to fully depart at times from the personal element when writing to those the race gaining the laurel which they strive; especially when you happen to know them personally.
There is one outstanding fact and a few of our associates in Negro job to produce a Negro newspaper trying set by the white publications... That fact position we occupy as a race in this co to fully depart at times from the person in the race gaining the laurels for we you happen to know them personally.

The white writer can afford to be at all times impersonal because the same things confronting us cannot apply. We occupy the place of "the man farthest down" in these United States, and the reactions which arise within us at the success of the member of the race are bound to be different, hence the apology if-perchance a tendency to "crow" just a wee bit when we enthuse over the success of young Gilbert Holland.
As an athlete Holland had gained great fame and landed and he sought us out shortly after his arrival in this country we had him welcome with a warmth that was natural as we found him as fine and upstanding a member of the race as upon for many a day, Holland, like Robeson, always cherished a loan towards the stage, and some of his the Miller and Lyles "Rang-Tang" company. When the show closed he found employment in his sphere, but he never ceased to look towards the success of his leading man and Magnet distinguished herself with brilliant acting.
In the meantime the Dally Desp says, "The value of the distressed his
We are not prompted by a sense of boastfulness in pointing out these things, nor are we actuated with a desire to either shine in the reflection or to receive applause for what we are in duty bound to do. However, in the face of the attempt of certain of our friends to belittle what we try to do, we believe it is well to at do, we believe it is well to at do, the apparent desire of the leading people in the world of sport and the theatre to at all times seek us out. Then, too, our public hasn't been so limited if we are to judge by the tabulation over a period of time, and even though we do sar it ourselves.
We are in receipt of a long and interesting letter from young Holland, and in possession of clippings we are also in possession of leading papers in London we would with pleasure reproduce it, but for the time behine we are going to deny him the opportunity of how he felt when he was given such a warm welcome at the hands of the English people. We have beaten him, the stage at Drury Lane. We are this offer at an important part in the dress rehearsal of the touring production of *His appearance* 'Showboat'. His appearance is anxiety of Mr. Felix Edwardes, the producer, who for a month had been seeking in the colored singer to play on tour the man he 'taken in London by Paul Robeson.
"I failed to call one in London and Paris," Mr. Edwards said to me this afternoon, and Sir Alfred Butt the composer, in America, asking to the composer, "Mr. Kern telephoned across the Atlantic saving that he had licensed on Gilbert Holland, and was rushing him across. Mr. Holland has just arrived, and after only a few hours rest he went on for the dress rehearsal."

We occupy the place of "the states, and the reactions which arise ber of the race are bound to be defice a tendency to "crow" just a wee of young Gilbert Holland.
"Mr. Holland was warmly applauded by the audience at the reheasal." The Dally Express informs us that: "Humer, sentiment and pathos are the fortunes and fallings of the Negro actor to make 'Show Bowl' a great musical play. In Gilbert Holland, who takes the part of Joe, the old Negro servant who watches the fortunes and fallings of the Negro actor who worthy upholds the tradition of Paul Robeson at Drury Lane. Claud Balley was a capable leading man and Mona Magnet distinguished herself with brilliant setting." In the meantime, the Dally Denspate says:
"The episodes of the disfointed history are linked up by the thematic chart of Joan M. Rubin man, who heaps on one line to speak, Joe is the character that towers above all the rest. Gilbert Holland, who plays the man, heaps on one line to speak, for he is 6 feet 2 inches tall and he infuses into his song a desperate melancholy which seems to capture the monotony of the drudgery of slavedness. Holland's arrival in England and the circumstances surrounding his rehearsal are gone into at great detail and he adduced daily, the name of which our correspondent in his haste to get the matter to us failed to record. It says, "A young man of imposing stature with the litho figure of an athlete, is Gilbert Holland, the colored singer from the 1920s, who just about twenty-four hours before he had to step on to the stage of Drury Lane Theatre to play the important part of a jobless part in team—the dress rehearsal big touring production of 'Show Boat.'"
"Although Mr. Felix Edwards, the producer of 'Show Boat', had only a few hours in which to rehearse, he gave me a most admirable performance."
"After the performance I met Mr. Holland in Mr. Robeson's dressing room at Drury Lane. He is a British sub-titled a native of Hamilton, Ontario."
"Like Paul Robeson, he is the son of a minister of religion. He was educated at the University of Toronto. Mr. Robeson was trained to be a lawyer; Mr. Holland was a lawyer."
"A dress rehearsal of a big touring show at Drury Lane. I found, is not punctual at intervals by interruption from the producer to the DJ's performance I saw went along as smoothly as any ordinary evening's entertainment."
"The big auditorium was very full, but not quite as. I needed how the audience was collisive."

and discovered that each member of the staff and each member of the company and of the orchestra had been given tickets for two seats. These were enough to bring together as large an audience as would delight the eyes of any theatre manager.
"What striking changes have come over the conditions of the theatrical tour, the recent years, to make company tickets of 'Show Boat' are concerned. For such the days are gone when a week's stay or even three nights was considered long enough."
And for the time being we will close this somewhat lengthy epistle with what the Manchester Evening News has said: "Perhaps the worst thing that can be about 'Show Boat' is that we do not get enough of 'Joe', the part in which Paul Robeson made a great hit Drury Lane. Gilbert Holland, the worthy successor, from New York, is a worthy successor.
"A young man of magnificent build with the litte figure of an athlete, he has an admirable performance. He has an admirable tenor and trained to be an architect. He may never build a skyscraper, but he can build by his singing most wonton and most analyze "Old Man River" and the song nothing at all. He hear Gellert Holland sing and you know something of a soul of a people, you feel more of the mind of a man than of a pathnth than in all the books on the race problem ever written by sociologists. To hear it sung by him is the strongest thing you should be seen. "The story of the play should be seen, dinarily thin affair, but, in this case, that matters not at all.

Indian Mystic at Lincoln Theatre
"Lindy Hop Revue" Hitting With "Parisiana" to Follow Next Week
At times we tell ourselves that there is nothing in the claims of the mystery surrounding the work of Indian mystics, yet there is a certain fascination which seems to imitate to sit in a theatre and continue to wonder and rack our minds in an attempt to solve, for our own satisfaction at least, those things done by these same mystics which have yet to be explained.
Next week the Lincoln Theatre will offer Prince Shah Babar, one of the outstanding workers in this line who has been mystifying European audiences for few years. While it is true that such an act is nothing new to Harlem, the Prince comes to us with the stamp of approval won because of the most unanimous ever offered on the stage. There is a finish to his work that is delightful despite the futile attempt of hisimitators to trick which have made him famous.
Prince Shah Babar, will be here along with the revue entitled "Parisiana" which will be in full swing this weekend at Blunt and Marle, Stering Grant, Bob Williams, the Four Dancing Hounds (what a name), Socks Wilson and the Princess Helena. The Princess which will help to keep the eyes of Lincoln audiences centered on the stage no matter what happens elsewhere.
The "Lindy Hop Revue" with its one of the greatest to the winner has served to create unusual interest at the Lincoln Theatre, to say nothing of the artists in the cast which include "bugs Hoop Six, Louis Cawley, Cary Grant, John Cawley, Snowdon and Pauline, Wade and Wade, Brother Albert and Ukelele Job Williams" picture for the last half of the week before to this part of the city Emil Jannings from the meek role of August Schiller in the "The Way of All Flush" to the stirring characterization of the film. It is a long jump for actor, but it was accomplished by Jannings and in a manner which will leave patrons of the Lincoln again wondering at the immense talent of the artist.
"The Street of Sin" presents the star as a ruffian ruler of the London slum, east of Limehouse. He becomes famous as a terror until he meets San Francisco Amoroso, a man transformed to welfare worker through love. The story of the picture was written by Benjamin Glazer and Josef Von Sternberg.
Miller and Lyles in Brooklyn All This Week
Starting on Monday evening the week's attraction at Werba's Brooklyn Theatre presents the favorite "Keep Shufflin'" with their own company and production, their latest and greatest success since "Shuffle Along," which was the pioneer of musical comedies of the present day. With their new offering Miller and Lyles have been meeting with great success and the critics who witnessed the production last spring when they visited the comedians Hershwin, Jimmy Johnson and others. A company of seventy-five, mostly girls, serves to keep the entertainment from lagging when the comedians leave the stage, the excellent musical he is supplying with settings by Cleon Throxmorton. At altogether this merry melange of melody, comedy and dance should provoise one of the banner attractions of the show, which will remain at their ever popular level.
Jimmy Johnson's Band of colored harmonists is one of the features of the production and their playing never fails to evoke enthusiasm.

We are waiting, waiting all the day long for our good friend-Mr. Frank Schiffman of the Lafayette Theatre to return to us. Mr. George Schuyler's letter with his appended answer. Mr. Schuyler's letter has been in the hands of Mr. Schuyler for past two or three weeks with a promise of replying to the charges made by Mr. Schuyler. Doggone, we did not know that George was so good Mr. Schiffman had to take all this time to reply to him. all this will have to smoke out our friend and have Lafayette and have him keep his promise on through. Brother Schiffman, we are waiting, waiting all the day long.
Johnson Returns to the Lafayette With Revue
Presenting Jack Johnson as a special added attraction with Shelton Brooks's splendid musical comedy revue gives the Lafayette Theatre this week one of the finest programs it has ever presented. "Nitties of 1928" is itself good entertainment. Jack Johnson's thirty minutes on the stage is a rare treat. Together they give the patrons of the theatre a good stage program which is a delightful, frilling film melodrama—"The Leopard Ledy," starring Jacqueline Logan. Monday's audience at the Lafayette Theatre gave the famous pugilist and actor a rousing welcome. He re-raised the hour of entertainment during which he strained their ears to catch his eye, word, watched him in fascination as he went through three rounds of sparring with a local heavyweight trained with laughter as he and Emmett Anthony fought two rounds.
The revue proper—"Nittles of 1925"—is a fifty piece of entertainment. Shelton Brooks, who stands in the front row, ducers, composers and comedians, Shelton Brooks has surrounded himself with a good cast and a good look alike. He is the dancer Lena Wilson, Hunter and Wesford Dodson and Yvette, Billy Hayes, Chick Marguerite and Wilbur White, some of the fun-makers, dancers and musicians in the big cast. And through the show, show fits the happy, genial figure of Shelton Brooks—singing, dancing, chuckling, playing the piano as only Shelton Brooks. The revue is gorgeously costumed. The feature photoplay for the week is the Leopard Lady*, starring Jacqueline Browne, a gripping metodus of circus life and international intrigue. Every member of the family will fill in hours of wonderful entertainment in the Lafayette Theatre this week.

More Mystery at Alhambra Theatre
"At the Stroke of 12" a Drama of Thrills and Tense Situations
The mysterious murder of a political boss in a room with every door locked and barred—the victim warmed—with high police officials on guard—is the theme of the absolutely thrilling drama at the Alhambra.
"At the Stroke of Twelve" is the title, and that is the moment that the threatened crime occurs, in exact accordance with the warmths. George Randol as the boss, cold, cruel, merciless, meeting his doom at last, reveals dramatic ability that ranks high. Jimmie Baskette, as a protected gift, powerful interpretation of a difficult role.
Susie Sutton, Fannia Laine, Barrington Carter, Billy Andrews and Bob Jackson—every one of them develop a strong sense of empathy and Amanda Randolph, as a stupid maid-servant, shows that she possesses a dramatic talent that few have ever seen. At the Stroke of Twelve" has the audience mystified to the very close when it is revealed that the least suspected character of all has plotting to kill the president. The revue, "Bright Eyes," opens in Japan, with a pretty, ensemble, and roams picturesquely far and wide. John Mason, Dusty Fletcher and Robert Sullivan, with comedy, with Julia Moody, Eloise Bennett, Artie Cain, Charles Ray and the rollingick Wilson, twins, love and Viola, chiming in, and the sixteen Alhambra Girls dancing in and out. It all ends with a mix-up of two pairs of twins—and the present girl isn't now quite sure "who is who."
The photobook feature is a unique dog story, Klondike in the Avening Shadow. Wednesday's night show will have a lot of clowning and volunteer appearances by professionals in the audience. As Dusty Fletcher says, "Anything might happen."

Savoy Entered Fall Season
Last Friday Night
Amidst the blare of trumpets and the applause of music lovers, Lloyd Scott and his "Bright Boy"s, and Fess Williams' Royal Flush Orchestra, the regular fall season opened at the beautiful Savoy Ballroom on last Friday evening. Four orchestras played that evening, one of which was the thelody Syncopators, consisting of three girls claiming to be the only colored women's band in the country.
Lloyd Scott and his baby brother, Lloyd, who leads the orchestra, will lead a couple of hand springs while playing a phone, were just "too bad." Back from a record breaking tour of the multiplive dance music, novelties and rhythms, he just pepped up and caring to go, they just played way into the hearts of the multitude with their marvelous interpretation of dance music, novelties and rhythms, earned his popularity and has now one of the leading orchestras in the country. In the discussion of Scott we cannot, however, overlook the Flush Orchestra, which also helped play the crowd into a dancing Flush Orchestra, which can certainly play and sing. So song over is a rare treat that one can only enjoy, by actually seeing him in action. He is about the closest friend that we have seen in a many a moon.
The Savoy Ballroom is now at it again. There are a number of specialities for the forthcoming days which will undoubtedly crowd popular ballroom with enthusiastic audiences. Some new and elaborate idea is to be presented each night of the week, entirely different, with a promise of tremendous entertainment for all. All the features are good.

‘Athlete, Actor, Singer, Gentleman
AS We stood that-November day when the sun was sinking in the West
‘and took note of the eagerness with which the young white students
at Rutgers University were centering thetr attention on the young Negro
giant, there was no denying the pride which we felt when the multitude
ag one sent up the shout which carried his name to the four corners of
‘the United States. His ability and all around gentlemanly qualities had
broken down the barrier of raco projudice, for the time being at least.
Few indeed were the. members of his race who, stared with him on tho
above occasion the glory of his achievement. He'stood well in Ins studies
and to the gridiron he had taken the hopes of a proud institution. We
‘mow then that Paul Robeson belonged with us in Greater New York.
| Tut he did not come. immediately. Our Journey, hnd taken ws to do
‘with anotter member of the raco, enjoying the glare of the spotlight and
the cyes.of all Amerfea ‘ere Contered upon him." This time it was Fritz
Pollard. Although not s student at Brown Univeraity, through him wo
had the pleasure of sleeping under tho roof of another ot America’s best
fustitutions of learniig. After leaving the Mbrary erected by John D-
Rockefeller, it was in tho shadows of that building erected to ono ot
‘America's son who had risen to the proud place in the cabinet of a proud
nation that we did what we considered our duty in behalf of the race of
{which the famous young athlete and the writer are members. It was
there tbat we pointed.out the opportunities which he was then enjoying
through his prowess’ on the football field, while breathing in the in-
eplration in the shadows of tho building erected to the memory of the lato
John Hay, statesman, if ever America produced one.
It was not-long after our return before Robeson then came to New
York. ‘The St. Christopher Club of St. Philip's Parish occupled an
enviable position in the world of athletics tn those days, and to this club
Robeson came and fond membership through the solleitation of those
brillant young men then forming tho Athletic’ Council. ‘The young
Hercules found a place befitting one who had accomplished so much ot
Rutgors, and soon his name orought added glory to the club. When not
taking part in athletics the: yolco which was (o arrest the attention of

in the wholesome atmosphere of the Parlsh House. The law called, but
the voice from stage and concert fleld were more insistent.
Bven after he had been to England and appecred in a play sponsored
by a member of the nobility, his modesty ‘sent him to us wondering
pefore he accepted the part of the “Emperor Jones,” which Glipin had
already made famous. Modest Paul wondered how he would be ac:
Cepted, but when he left.us that night he carried the determination which
ater proved what we then pointed out to him. With a thousand others
we fiad seen the potentialities for the work whlch Inter brought him more
Taurels, and we do not now deny the pride which we took in tho eon-
fidence he displayed in us. And now that he ts about to step on the
last round of the ladder leading to greater fame and wealth, comes his
troubles with the Actors’ Equity Association. Ah! Wo are listening to

“Panto” Coming
Back?
THE art of pantomime is coming back
to America, declares Jchnny Hud-
gina, Negro comedian In Lew Lesile's
“Binckbirds of 1928" at the Liberty
Theatre, Hudgits Is considered the
chief exponent of pantomime, not only
fn tho United States but in Europe as
well, where for three years he scored
a veritable trlamph In is inarticulate
ralmtery,
“Vuntomime,*’ says Hudgins, “best
expresses the human emotlens: At
Jeust 1 have. found it so, While words,
with their various shading, convey’ al-
most every meaning ofthe human
mind, an expressive face can send 8
message across the footlignts with even
xrenter colority and more punch. Bo-
fore humans ever lorrned the art of
converaaticn they. talked only, by means
of pantomime.’ ‘The same holds true
in babies today. “Who Is there cannot
understand a baby morely by the ox-
pression on the face? True enough, a
baby cagnot convey all its thought
througit this medium; but 1t conveys
suificlent to make. most of us under~
stand tts fikes and dislikes, its Joys ard
{ts norrows,
Although pantoinime Is the oldest of
the arts, It has been neglected In r0-
cent years by our stage artinta, I do
not mean by this that pantomime ts
altogether a lost. art. Almont every
acter uses it In his work every day.
A shrug of the shoulder, a movement
of the hand or face, a look and you
have pantomime serving In the piace
of articulated words. But the many
pantomimles who usta to bo seen on
‘our stages have disappeared. Only the
circus clowns nro left to propagate the
art of pantomime.
“And yet," concluded Johnny, as his
cus came for a scone In “Blackbirds,”
“the future looks brighter for pantomime
right now than ever before. I know
many artists who belleve with me thal
pantomime will have a rebirth on the
legitimate stage. The fact that the
alent movies are no longer silent I
spurring those with an aptitude to pan:
tomime to seriously consider thin art

Pullman Company Sponsors "Good- Will' Meeting in Far Western Office
Assistant General Manager Seeks to Revive "Friendly Relations" Which Existed Prior to Organization of Brotherhood Organization
Officials of the Pullman Company have met the Pullman porters in conference, but not the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. This was revealed in a private report that has just reached the office of the Brotherhood, 2311 Seventh avenue, concerning a "good-will" meeting between F. L. Wood, assistant general manager of the Pullman Company; J. L. Arthur, superintendent of the Los Angeles district, both white, and ten porters of the Los Angeles district, some of whom were Brotherhood men.
The purpose of the meeting, which was held on July 28 at the office of District Superintendent Arthur, was to discuss the Employee Representation Plan, called by the Brotherhood "The Yellow Dog Contract." J. Prayer was elected chairman of the meeting. He said: "The object of this meeting is to see if we cannot restore the friendly cooperative relations between the Pullman Company and this group of employees that existed prior to 1926."
Mr. Prayer, who was at one time a Brotherhood man, but who drew out, explained that all methods of getting the Pullman Company to recognize the Brotherhood had failed and that the only thing left for the porters to do was to adhere to the company's Employee Representation Plan. The Brotherhood can function through this plan, Mr. Prayer said, and in this way gain recognition from the Pullman Company, but in no other way. Mr. Prayer said that the method of the idea in the Employee Representation Plan, and said he believed the company is willing to amend it in a manner favorable to the porters.
Wood Makes No Promises
Mr. Wood stated that he was glad to see the spirit thus manifested in the Los Angeles district and approved the holding of other "kool-will" meetings. He did not, however, say any way to convince the porters' grievances nor by so much as a word hold out any hope for any change favorable to the porters, other than to say, that he would "like to be in a position to explain" any "little local rule" to which the porters objected.
The other porters present were: J. T. Ambrose, M. B. Brazley, C. H. Levy, B. M. B. Holland, S. H. Burdick, B. E. Holland, J. H. O. Phillips, A. Noel and J. Hill. E. Hogue was to have been present, but was unable to attend.
Mr. Wood considered the meeting important enough to consider holding these men out of service in order that they might attend. "The union influences have, of course, left their mark," he stated. "Let's get them and take very frank and see we can't get back to where we were two or three years ago."
Holland Upsets Meeting
The "good-will" of the meeting was upset when Mr. Holland, a Brotherhood man, got up to speak. He stated that he was only speaking for himself, although he was willing to represent other porters of his district. "But I want you to feel and know," he said, "that I would not be a party to come here to hood-

"Mr. Jackson approached me as the second man. His first words to me were: 'Holland, my back is against the wall. I am slated to go together with ten or twelve of the others, and now we want to get together and vote for the Pullman management and see if we cannot get out from under it all. They have their guns raised to shoot us in the back. We have paid my dues. I am going to be a good Brotherhood man, but I am going to let the Pullman Company take this weight off me."
Mr. Holland then revealed that Jackson had been one of the most ardent Brotherhood men and after getting men to join the union he "then threw the men overboard in order to protect his own hide."
"I would not be a traitor," Mr. Holland declared. "If you send me out on the road you can trust me to the Philippine island. . . . When I joined the union I knew what I was doing." He stressed the fact that he had been loyal to the Pulli Man Company and the vice. "I am still able to abide by the Employees' Plan until they have been destroyed." Mr. Wood then asked Mr. Holland how he could remain loyal to both the company and the union, and reminded him that he (Holland) had said that if the Brotherhood should strike he would go on working.
"I have never said that it was not possible for me to change my opinion, but as long as I was a loyal member, I would be as loyal as possible. I also said we going to show my loyalty to the company."
Ambrose, Brazley and Philips did not express themselves in the meeting, but the rest of the men expressed themselves as being in favor of the Employee Representative Plan. Mr. Wood expressed his interest self on the questions at issue, but thanked Mr. Wood for his kind remarks and stated that he would let the others do the talking.
It was decided that other meetings were to be held July 30 and Aug. 3, to explain to the balance of the men the attitude and action of the committee.
Brown and officials here see in these meetings an effort to counteract the influences of the union, beginning in the West and sweeping the country to the East.
A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood, made it plain that the reason all previous attempts at organizing the porters had failed was because that, having the Representation Plan, they were powerless, because the moment aporter protested against the tacitus

At the Los Angeles meeting Mr. Wood stated that the Brotherhood was organized. I may who we are not present. In reply to this, Randolph pointed to the fact that W. H. DegVerney, "the daddy of the Brotherhood," was in the Pullman service for thirty-seven years; A. L. Totten, assistant general organizer, served nine years, and Roy Lancaster, the secretary-treasurer, served seventeen years.

According to Dad Moore, organizer of San Francisco division, and George S. Grant, organizer of Los Angeles division, the "yellow dog" contract movement, which was projected under the guise of the goodwill committee, has completely collapsed.

"Republicans to Get 75 P. C. of Vote"
C. M. E. Church Bishops
Finds Hoover Sentiment
Strong
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 17—"All this talk of the Negro going Democratic is more imaginary than real. There is not enough real disaffection among Negro Republicans to be noticed." This is the opinion of Bishop C. H. Phillips of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in Blaise Phillips stopped in Washington while en route to his home at Cleveland, O., after holding conferences in Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia and three States of the Southwest. The C. M. E. Church has a membership of 350,000. "Among all the groups of our people with which I have had contact," Bishop Phillips continued, "I have sent him a message. I do not hesitate to predict a 75 per cent vote for the Hoover-Curtis ticket.
"Negroes are naturally Republican unless someone has tampered with them. Careful thinking colored men and women realize that the White House will be influenced by Southern Democratic sentiment, of which they already know too much. Too, they know that, if Smith should want to do something for the Negro, he would naturally give his indication to the attitude of bin party.

I tried several things but I could get no relief. All my ailments were the result of chronic constipation which caused my system to become filled with poison. "One day a friend suggested that I try Black-Draught. I began taking it right off. I continued the medicine for several weeks and since then I have felt fine. I am in better health now than I have been in years.

fold. Accordingly, an interview was arranged for me with Mr. Hoover, the Republican candidate.
"After a very lengthy interview with Mr. Hoover, I am satisfied that the interests of the colored American lie with the Republican nominee.
"Mr. Hoover is a man of broad and catholic sympathies. His experience in dealing with men of all races and colored contracts enders bilt truly cosmopolitan. Heizes that our country is made up of many racial groups. He proposes to deal with the colored groups just as he does with all other Americans.
"I feel certain that we shall get a square deal with Mr. Hoover. I am satisfied. I am going to take a chance with Hoover.
"In going back to my party, I wish it to be distinctly understood that I am not in the category of a Democrat bolting Governor Smith, but an American citizen exercising his rights for the man whom I think will best serve the interests of my race and of my country.
"What is best for the country in the long run will be best for the colored American with all others."

Amsterdam News
In Buying Your Home
BY ROMEO L. DOUGHERTY
Editor Brooklyn and Long Island Section
It is natural that those of us connected with The Amsterdam News should take pardonable pride in contributing our share in arousing the interest and consciousness of hundreds of Negroes to a state of mind which has resulted in the purchase of hundreds of homes in such places as Corona, Flushing, Jamestown, Springfield and other towns on Long Island, far away from the big city.
The writer on one his quiet tours of investigation the latter part of last week and which ended late Sunday afternoon, discovered that hundreds of our people are not only enjoying the comfort of their own dwellings, but with the removal of the burgee of having to pay exorbitant rents a certain pride is noted in the care with which they surround their new homes.
A few years ago this paper conducted a campaign which induced many prospective homeowners to invest in property on Long Island, and that the builders reap a harvest was to be expected as we had to pay the price for waiting too long. Houses valued at from six to eight thousand dollars today could have been for less than twenty-five hundred dollars less than ten years ago, but we crowded to the big city, and with the coming of the housing shortage the handlers reaped a harvest while right next door to us stood available homes ready for occupancy.
Today we are paying the price for our lethargy, our lack of vision and our lack of foresight, and the same kind of homes which are being sold to white people in these new developments are costing Negroes from one to two thousand dollars more in less desirable places. But we have to grin and bear it and get in now while getting in is good. One of the anomalies noticed in this new departure of extensive suburban home-owning by Negroes is the fact that certain builders are erecting homes in more desirable places at cheaper prices than is the case in the homes which they are building for Negroes, and in the most desirable localities they will tell you pointulism, that they will not sell to Negroes. We are aware that we would be out by the Negroes willing to endure streets in poor condition for a few years, Negroes would caught and burn in another angle of the feverish rush of the building boom on Long Island. In some places scores of houses built for whites have been turned over to Negroes at advanced prices. At Union Turnpike, fronting some of the best roads leading into Flushing, Jamaica, Forest Hills, Kew Gardens and then to Brooklyn and New York City, are scores of houses put up for sale to white people. These homes are on a par with those in Springfield and Jamaica being sold to Negroes, but we noticed that the price being asked amounts to but $5,750, with as little as $250 as "down payment."
For many, many months these houses have remained unoccupied. While we do not say as a matter of fact that none of them have been sold, our investigation failed to disclose any signs of activity or habitat in this new development. The primary object of this article is to ask our readers and prospective purchasers of homes this fall and the coming year, the purpose of which is that in case another turnover is made to place these houses in the hands of real estate brokers, we can demand early the reason for the raising of the price if such a tendency is shown.
If those of us riding around in automobiles enjoying the sights of these outlying districts and the improvements being made would only inject a little thinking with our pleasure, like the white brother, we would save ourselves and others of the race thousands of dollars, which can be applied to other necessities when the time comes to purchase a home. Think it over and keep this article.

CONCORD TEAM IN SECOND PLACE
Splendid Showing on the Diamond Brought 'Em Up With a Rush
Not content with capturing the basketball championship for, the 1927-28 season of the Brooklyn Sunrise School Basketball League, winning twenty-five games without a defeat in their initial appearance in the league, the Concord Baptist boys went out to the second place in the Brooklyn Sunday School Baseball League for the current season with a record of fourteen victories to three defeats. This was also Concord's first season in this baseball circuit.
At the end of the regular season Concord was tied with James M. E. as runner-up in Section I of the league, with eleven wins and three losses out of James M. E. by the score of 2-1. This gave them the right to play the St. Albans Presbyterian nine, second in Section II. Concord defeated St. Albans Presbyterian and to decide second and third place Concord walloped St. Paul's Swedish Lutheran by the score of 21-2. By winning this game the Concord team will receive individual trophies and Concord will regulars. Concord Baptists are only coloured boys in the Brooklyn Sunday School Athletic League. With Lefty Harris, star moundman of the Franklin Lane High School team the past season perforated by Concord mine romped off with an easy victory over the St. Paul's Swedish Lutheran team of Bushwick by the score of 21-2 in a post-season game to decide second and third places in the College League for the 1928 season.
The Concord boys took the lead from the start and were never threatened. Turner opened the first frame and scored a life when Kingren muffled the throw at first. Harris singled to center, scoring Turner. Mitchell reached first when Holmgren made a save on the shortstop's error. Collins fanned but when Ed Johnson dropped Rube Niles' fly to left field Mitchell scored. Sessions was safe in the outfield and Ward walked. Turner's single, his second hit of the inning, scored Rube Niles and Al Niles cleaned off the bases with a homer to deep left in a total of nine tallies in the inning.

The Sportive Spotlight
When the news filtered in that Eddie Purdy was the third man in the ring on that memorable occasion in Chicago when Young Jack Thompson knocked out Joe Dundes in the second round we knew that whatever might have occurred Young Jack would get a square break. Referee Purdy is a square shooter and in latter day-fighting has refereed more championship fights in New York than any other referee.
Speaking of Mr. Purdy reminds us of the many evenings it has spent with this writer in the offices of the Amsterdam News covering the finer will not likely recall that Mr. Purdy was the third man in the ring the night they stole the decision from Tiger Flowers and gave Tiger Flowers a shocked when the hudson voted against the Tiger.
Which also brings to mind the dangers surrounding Thompson if he ever comes to our fair city to fight. He has been offered a place in Madison Square Garden early in October, but we are of the opinion that the Boxing Fathers will wrown upon the match and attack that to the championship he who shall meet the champion. It would not surprise us if the southpaw swings a low one and is given the fight against Thompson.
The members of the Eastern Sport Writers' Association came together as one in the incident of an unknown correspondent trying to bellittle the activity and individually they resented the asperator cast and in made us laugh to think what a dud that shot immed in the incident, coming on the heels of the blurb, we note that it is the opinion of the sport editor of the New York News that we are a square in the fight, removed have seen fit to take up the cudgels in our behalf.
If we feel proud that we can induce such a state of mind in our brothers after "carrying on" for lo, these many years, we are to be pardoned if any sense of exultation can be detected in the expansion of our breast in the form of our writers of color in all over the country bear testimony to the fact that we are not considered the worst one in the game, and we recall with the same exultation that when the boys honored us by hanging the title on our brow, we poured speaking into the mouth of the Chicago Defender, gave it as his opinion that we were deserving of the honor. We thank one and all for the confidence reposed in us.
Our special contributor, Arthur E. Prands, occupies a peculiar position with us on the Amsterdam News. He is winter or summer, he can always be found "On the Court" Under that hat he plays on the basketball for quite a while, for the athletes in both branches of the sport cavort on courts. Thirty years ago, when Achille Victoria was playing tennis with a raquet fashioned from a shingle, both Arthur and the writer were displayed by old man Victorla's son with the unwieldy bouncer. Yes, sir. Saturday afternoons with our sardines and yokowaxons" at the senshore means a great deal to Franels and the writer, and a little more to boyhood and youth, fraught with the good things of life which a kind. Providence had bestowed upon us.
Rather surprising, if you should ask us that El Ouna arrived in New York and not a pen pushing brother on hand to greet him and not a line from the same brothers exalting in his arrival here. We do not feel that we have contributed anything to the prevailing gloom because of our opinion that it is "de, trop", to attempt to annex those not seeking annexation, with us, but apparently our stand was well taken. If any of the brothers doubt it, let them go, seeking the Arab down at Mr. Rickard's Madison Square Garden. We must of ourselves achieve, and achieving, true plaudits will greet whatever we accomplish on the field of athlete endeavor. We also had in mind the rebuff given by the Abyssinian, which we noticed was recalled by a SIGNED letter to the editor, of this paper appearing in our last issue.
A card came to us last week seeking information of any colored football teams in Greater New York. If there be any such, we have no doubt that we remember a football term of color appearing before a large concourse of people was the time that we, with the assignee of the late George Gilmore, informed of the occasion of our stars in a game at Lenox Oval. By Hudson Oliver, now a successful practicing physician in Harlem and who for years held the spotlight as one of Howe's stars, appeared in that game. After we had successfully staged many a game in which some of our leading colleges took part, we attempted to win the game, but was told by the officials of both estates that, while they knew it would be a financial success, there was a certain sentiment attached to the staging of the game, and the other year in Washington, to which we readily subscribed.
If it is true that our old friend Jess McMahon will be in full power at the Starlight Athletic Club, to be opened some time this winter, we can again hold out much hope to the mid-quarters of color. When Mr. McMahon took charge at Madison Square Garden we did not expect him to fall all over himself in giving the colored gladiators before us.
AL BROWN IS HEADED FOR CHAMPIONSHIP Walk Miller Said to Have Committed Suicide
WALK MILLER'S DEATH A SHOCK
WALK MILLER'S DEATH A SHOCK
Well Known Fight Manager Committed Suicide at His New Training Camp
When the news came to town from Kingston, N. Y., announcing the death of Walk Miller, one of the most prominent fight managers of the day, it created a sensation not only in high places in the game, but all over, as Miller, through association with the late Roger Flowers, was widely known all over the country.
Miller conducted a fighters' training camp at Eddyville, a little way out of Kingston, and appeared at the opening of the outstanding places of its kind in the country. On Sunday Jesse McMahon, another well known figure in fast circles and up until a fall, visited Madison Square Garden called at the camp specially to discuss matters pertaining to the opening of McMahon's new house, the place the McMahon to call Miller and returned horror stricken and told of discovering Miller lying in bed with wounds in his head. Miller were self-inflicted and the cause of the fight manager's death.
When the authorities were summoned they pronounced Miller a suicide. No intimation had ever reached his many friends that he was not in the best of circumstances. Some time ago, when Tiger flowers died, the story went through the rounds that Miller did not conduct the affairs of the champion's estate to the satisfaction of his family, and while it was supposed to have reached a court hearing, nothing came of the rumor.
Born in Brooklyn thirty-nine years ago, Miller went South in his early days and located at Atlanta Ga. successor of the former manager to him until he discovered Theodore Flowers. He was interested in Flowers from the first, as he Miller, had spent some time as a manager of various enterprises. Flowers carried Miller to the front with him, although Walk did maintain a stable which included Frisco McCormick, Jerry Lawson, Joe Hall, Tommy White and a number of lesser lights. He at one time managed Young Stribling but the southerner some time later. His management of his father and mother.
It was at the old Commonwealth, conducted at the time. By Jessie McMahon, the Miller first named McMahon, the Miller first named crowning his efforts, he established offices at 140 West Forty-second street. During his entire career he never let an opportunity slip to him. He was a colored sport writers as he gave to the whites. Under the name of "Fairdeal" he has written a number of articles for the Amsterdam News, a surprise to the many readers of the paper, as few knew that he could handle a pen with so much ability. The game has lost one of the best men in the death of Walk Miller.
tull away at the Garden. We took into consideration the circumstances under which we would talk as colored people are concerned, we have had the honor to speak for McMahon for night on these fifteen or twenty years, as we have nothine into it. We have had the honor to speak for it. If things are what we hope they will be at the new club, the colored pitters can again form in line at the office of the Amsterdam News in Amsterdam. We have not seen Jess to talk to for a long time, we can assure our boys that it anybody will enjoy the opportunity to speak for them and get the deserves. It will be the writer. Yey, our association with McMahon in baseball and boxing long, long before he came to the Commonwealth and during the time he gives us good reason to feel the way he has a chance to get located, fellows:

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1928
The sudden and intimately death of Dr. E. Elliott-Rawlins has removed one of the foremost characters in New York's tennis circles. Dr. Rawlins had been a potent factor in the progress of the game among our people; as a member of the ideal Tennis Club, he took a very keen and active part in the affairs of his club, and of the New York Tennis Club. He gave untimely to his time and money, his counsel was sought on every important question by those shaping the destinies of the game. In New York, and his advice was greatly appreciated, from the game he was one of the game's biggest boosters among the professional men of our city, and appreciated and advocated the game as a builder of health and character. He was from this sphere of activity, from his start, a gaping hole in the ranks of the really sincere, worthwhile men of our race who supporter tennis. Like the multitude of people who knew the good doctor, the tennis playful man, the City in its best curdest sympathies in its bestened family.
The St. Marks (Pirates) Tennis Club administered a crushing defeat to the Avon Tennis Club on Sunday afternoon last, on the grounds of the former club, at West 133th street, by the scor. of five matches to the singles and two men's doubles matches were played, and three of the singles matches were hotly contested.

Dear Jim:
You have failed the fans of the game before them the true facts for your Havana Red Sox of Havana, Cuba, seasons.
We still continue to receive letters asking when our club is going to apply. We can only tell them that we have a game with your Lincoln Giants, but we must admit you phoned the us proposition, which, if it wasn't a Red Sox, would have been a certain conditions, however.
You had your chance to play the and conditions on Sunday, September fully three weeks prior to this date.
Your proposition to play the Havana during the week, before an empty parish of your willingness to supply the may have been well meant, but what proposal?
First, while the Lincoln Giants ming, the Havanians haven't lost a day your own ball park wouldn't be so bad with our guarantee that we can such conditions?
Second, remember that the best game, but can host be judged only if can have an off-day in a single series of games.
Third, you threatened to expose us straight games to the Baltimore Blaze. How did you make out in you out around Boston a few weeks ago fans about these defeats suffered by you.
Fourth, do you think you can go out? If so, we don't see you going out that day. We lost to Ben Platt's remember, then can go back there a continue to hold up our end as a boy don't have to expose us for losing to were published in the majority of coached of. Remember, the New York only a few weeks ago and are still first place.
Fifth, your offer to supply the believe your selection of umpires for good according to the dope we gather with them as we played, we may before empty clubs into this controversy by your own action. Remember that! These fans coin Giants, and we have only been to the faction. To deprive them of seeing proposition you offer us is an injustice.
Seventh, in closing, let us state barnstorming their way South, on the longest season any independent club in the East, winding up their season remember they will be up again no consideration at that time, and also fans and followers.
Very true
Dear Jim:
You have failed the fans of the metropolitan district in not plaging before them the true facts for your negligence in failing to book the Red Sox of Havanna, Cuba, at your park during the past two seasons.
We still continue to receive letters and phone calls from your fans asking when our club is going to appear at your park.
Sept. 15, 1923.
We can only tell them that we have tried to satisfy their demand for a game with your Lincoln Giants, but to no avail.
We must admit you younch the writer personally last week, giving us a proposition, which, if it wasn't so late in the season and the Havana Red Sox were not on their way back to Cuba, we might accept, under certain conditions, however.
You had your chance to play the Havana Red Sox at your own terms and conditions on Sunday, September 9, and were advised of this fact fully three weeks prior to this date. What was the matter then?
Your proposition to play the Havana Red Sox for a $1,000 side bet during the week, before an empty park, and praising your own sportsmanship of your willingness to supply the balls, impresses, as well as the park, may have been well meant, but what other club would accept such a proposal?
First, while the Lincoln Griants may be unable to secure daily booking, the Havanians haven't lost a date this season, and to play you on your own ball park wouldn't be so bad, but why ask you to lose a good date and a good guarantee that we would secure elsewhere to play under such conditions?
Second, remember that the best club cannot be decided in a single game, but can best be judged only in a series of contests. Either outfit can have an off-day in a single contest, but would have no alibis in a series of games.
Third, you threatened to expose us in the newspapers for losing seven straight games, the Baltimore Black Sox recently. Is this any disgrace? Did you make you out in your series with the Philadelphia Giants out around Boston a few weeks ago? Have you told your metropolitan fans about these defeats suffered by your club?
Fourth, do you think you can go into Baltimore and beat the Black Sox? If so, we don't see you going out of your way to arrange a series with them! We lost to Ben Taylor's strong outfit, but uphold our prestige in so doing and can go back there at any time for return bookings, and continue to hold up our end as a box office attraction. Mr. Keenan, you don't have to expose us for losing to a club of this calibre. The scores of the team we were mulling to be ashamed of. Remember, the New York Giants lost eight straight games only a few weeks ago and are still in the thick of a pennant fight for first place.
Fifth, your offer to supply the balls is mighty generous. hardly believe your selection of umpires for a side bet series would sound so good, according to the dope we gather from the "Cum" Posey camp.
Sixth, if a series was played, we emphatically would not consent to play before empty seats. This is not our policy! We have been forced this controversy by your own fans, who want to see our club in action himself! These fans want to see our club in coin Giants, and we have only been trying to pave the way for their satisfaction. To deprive them of seeing the two clubs in action under the proposition you offer us is an Injustice to them.
Seventh, in closing, let us state that the Havana Red Sox are now barnstorming their way South, on their way back to Cuba, enjoying the longest season any independent club has participated in under full salaries in the East, winding up their season on October 15 at Miami, Fla., but they will be up again next season and hope to receive more consideration that time, and also have you satisfy the desire of your fans and followers.

Despondency Over Money Caused Miller to Take Life
KINGSTON, N.Y., Sept. 17.—Funeral arrangements were made on Monday for Walk Miller, manager of prize fighters, who committed suicide at the training camp which he maintained at Eddyville, N. Y. Jess McMahon, former matchmaker at Madison Square Garden, said Miller took his life because of despondency over financial affairs. Miller's body, with a bullet through his head, was found across the bed in the training camp.
Among the more prominent boxers whom Miller managed were the late Tiger Flowers, former middleweight champion; Bob Lawson, heavyweight; Clyde Hull, welterweight; Sunny Jim Williams, light heavyweight, and Manuel Quintero, Cuban lightweight. Miller's wife, who was visiting in Cleveland, is on her way here.

Defeat of Kid Francis by Al Gives Him the Spotlight's Center
Developments of the next few weeks will prove why The Amsterdam News has kept its trailers on little Al Brown, even when the popular little mitt man was carrying on in France. The Boxing Commission of this State will in the near future be called upon to declare Al Kirk's class if one Bushy Graham falls to toe the mark and meet the colored lad in combat. Called upon to prove his fitness as the rest of the Red Sox, Al Kirk at the title among the little fellows Brown gave an exhibition against Kid Francis last week at Madison Square Garden that did not leave the least shadow of doubt to the justice of the Corbett-Baker fight, which was of unusual interest to colored followers of the game, as it had a hearing on the future prospects of Jack Thompson, Brown scored a
it is the consensus of opinion among the writers on the daily publications that it was a poor match because Brown is a champion and will take tougher opposition to keep it from being traded. Tran kept pouring into Brown round after round, but Al's remarkable right kept finding a landing place after his snake-like left had worked the ball out. Tran had the hand that made Brown famous in the days of the old Commonwealth. Outclassed from the start of the fight, Francis could not do anything terrific to be able to battle hurt his right in the sixth round. Brown continued to wage terrific warfare with his right for the remaining six rounds and did not appear to be extended in the least. Tran battler hurt his right in the sixth round. With a fair chance, there is a possibility of from colored fighters gaining the right to be called champions. They include Brown, the New York Giants and George Godfrey. Godfrey's case is the hardest in that Tex Rickard will block him to the very last and the hopes of the colored fighter will be fulfilled. Grazy, who will give him a fair break if the times ever come.
Red Sox Barnstorming South Successfully
Fully 4,500 fans, including hundreds from the Metropolitan region, gave the Havana Red Sox of Havana, N. J., last week, when the Havanians scored a popular victory in taking both ends of a double bill from the Jersey City Red Sox, breakning a streak of 14 games. The scores were 4 to 3 and 12 to 2. Launan, the Havanian first sacker, and Cardoso, right fielder, walloped the score in the first inning, clearing the score board in center field by at least ten feet, for the longest drive ever seen at the Jersey Park. This was the farewell appearance of the Cuban departing immediately after the game for the South, where they stopped off at Newport News, Va., to win a close to 2 battle; on Wednesday the Havanians opened a three-day series with the strong Wilmington (N. C.) Colored Giants, playing 15 innings to and in 11 deadlock, lost the second game on Saturday, winning a series on Saturday, winning 3 to 2.
This week the Red Sox meet Mulins, S. C., on Monday; Glennville, Ga., on Tuesday; Ela, Ala., on Wednesday; and open a three-day series with Black Pelicans at New Orleans, La., on Friday, which terminates with a game on Sunday afternoon at that location.

Preparations are being made by the New York Tennis Association to send a team down to Washington, D. C., the latter part of the month to play for the New York team, which is to meet the New York recently defeated New Jersey in one of the preliminary rounds, by virtue of which they are to meet the Washington team, the winner to meet West Virginia and North Carolina, presidents and holders of the Merck Cup.
In an intra-club tournament of the Cosmopolitan Tennis Club, concluded last Saturday, Kenneth Hughes defeated L. E. Spooner in straight sets for the championship of the club. Spooner, who is one of New York's veteran players, has been playing a good game all season, but in Hughes he met a young player who, if he continues to play the same brand of tennis this season, will be placed among the top-notch players of the country.

N. Y. Braves Close Season
Against Brooklyn Champs
The N. Y. Braves will close their season this Sunday against the Brooklyn Jr. Association, champs of East Brooklyn for two consecutive years. The Braves have played most of their games this season on strange grounds and have been able to give every opponent a sensational battle, such holding a .500 average percentage of hits and only losing two games on their home grounds of their six games played. The Braves will call together their players early next Spring and prepare for a semipro- or semil-pros of the East with many new faces in their line-up.

Cuban Stars Take 11-Inning Game From Lincoln
The Cuban Stars got sweet revenge on the Lincoln Giants in their final appearance at the Catholic Protectory Oval this season when they won an 11-inning contest and then came from behind to tie the score of the second game, which had to be called on account of darkness. A big crowd was on hand to see Rector and Juanolo in pitcher's duel for the first game last Sunday and also to see the second game. The scores were 5-4 and 7-7. Hilldale will be at the Protectory for the last time this season on Sunday, September 23.

"Chocolate" Scores Clean-Cut Victory Over Tisch
Kid Chocolate, bantamweight of Cuba, scored a clean-cut victory over Tammy Sichie, National Guard standup. The fight was rounds before a big crowd at the St. Nicholas Aronn. The battle was used in every round but the sixth, when Tisch, in a desperate sprint, got over her sling blows to this opponent's tomahawk. Tisch foundered around the ring in the last few rounds, but avoided the humiliation of a knockdown by his ability to stand punishment. He got a deep crimson and his left cheek and eye cut. Chocolate did not show any marked effects of the tray.
Who Did the Sports
Win From on Sunday?
The New York Sports gained another victory on Sunday behind the pitching of Dillworth, the score ending 14-12 with eight consecutive win and on Sunday they play the Pittsburgh Colored Giants and Cathedral Giants in a double-header. These two clubs are the only teams in the league that Canton hopes to continue their streak at their expense. The Sports would like to arrange a game between them, but claims to have the best colored light semi-pro team in New York.
Brown's Forfeit Posted
Dave Lumiankay last week posted $2,500 with the New York State Athletic Commission as a weight and appearance forfeit for Al Brown against any bantamweight at Tuscaloosa. The Board to recognize the Harlem colored boy as champion, though the commission undoubtedly will give Bushy Graham a reasonable length of time to accept a contest with the young man who decisively defeated Kyle Johnson at Madison Square Garden last week.
Lumlansky asked Tom McArdle, Garden matchmaker, to arrange matches with Graham and Fidel La Tarba at weight and with Bud Tayra an offer of a $3,500 guarantee to box La Barba in Los Angeles.

Baby Joe Gans Knocks
Out Another One Monday
Baby Joe Gans of California had just a light workout Monday night at Dexter Park, Brooklyn, when in the midst of a game against Cuddy De Marco in the fourth round. The knockout will be classed as a technical one because the referee Gans had risen from a knockdown and was hopelessly beaten. In each of the four rounds Gans had a total of 10 saves, time De Marco took a full count of nine to try and clear his head. The California lightweight worked very easy through the course and took on the measured his opponent for the knockout blows.
De Marco welghed in at 146 pounds while Gans welghed 140.
On the same card Jimmie Harrison, a sparing partner of Gans, won by a knockout from Frank Alvarado in the first round. He then went from California and this was his tenth fight. He is a welter-weight.
DARBYITES WHIP THE FARMERS Charleston Big Gun for Hilldale Last Sunday Afternoon
The Farmers took another pair of beatings Sunday afternoon at Farmers Oval before a crowd of 6,000, losing to the Hildale rite of Darby Press. The Hildales sewed up the first game in the sixth inning when they scored five runs. The Farmers made both of their first game tallies in the eighth as the result of a single shot by the opponent in Ovannov and a safety by Dave Roche. Bill Charleston was the big gun for the visitors. He smacked out a double and a single in the first game, stunned the opposing team inning and filleted two other sacks.
In the second game Charleston hit two home runs in successive innings, the fourth and fifth, and was robbed of another by Chase Sce, who was playing in the fourth just as it was going over the fence in right center. The scores:

BROOKS STARS FOR THE ROYALS
Perfect Day for Strong's Team When Bushwicks Went Down Twice
Led by the devastating bat of Brorks, the Brooklyn Royal Giants handed the Bushwicks a brace, of seven hits, and a Sunday ternoon, winning the first 5 to 3 and the second, 11 to 8.
Brooks had a perfect day at bat in the first game, getting three singles and two doubles, and the bat. Although he did not score at all in this contest, Brooks drove in three of his team's runs, his double in the third frame, his sixth, when the Royals sewed up the contest with a three-run cluster.
The Royals pounded the offerings of Stanley, the inaugural forerunner for the season in opening play, the Bushwicks were getting seven ron Holland. Three of these were bunched in the third frame to give the Kandy Royals three hits in five chances, in the second tilt the Royals fell on the offerings of Bill Korenbury and Doc Durbin for 17 hits, with Brooks giving the Giants an outfield locketed three hits in five chances, each of his drives being good for two bases. Hudspeth also came through, with a pair of double hits, while Fielder added a triple in the second two on base.
The Bushwicks scored all of their runs in the first three innings, getting second and three more in the third, while the Royals were collecting one in the second and three in the third. Baumgartner, who remained on the field throughout the second batting barrage of the Royals, was replaced by Durbin in the seventh when the Royals scored another trio of tallies. The Royals got their third in the fourth when four runs in the eighth innings.

Boy Scout News
Ceremonies.
Thursday evening was a big one for the Scouts of Troop 775 at Rush Memorial Church, Membership cards are issued in the troop committee of that troop. Don't be surprised if you see one of the 775 Scouts walking down the street with his chest puffed out—you will know why! In charge of the ceremonies the Troop is also planning other big things. Sh-sh, don't think it capturing the North Pole or swimming the Atlantic Ocean. It's just the opposite. I will let you know later. I almost forgot—freshmen were served. No doctors were called in. Troop to Open.
It was decided at a special patrol leaders' meeting composed of Scouts of Troop 775 to open tomorrow. This special meeting was in charge of Scoutmaster Byron Marshall.

Y. M. C. A. Notes
In planning the work for the year the officials of the West 137th Street branch are handicapped by the lack of space to handle successfully program demands. Over 140 different program activities have been been the coming year, to be provided by the school's living apartments: Employment, social, physical, religious, membership and educational. The boys' department especially has an attractive calendar for this year, including special swim classes, little study, basketball, life-saving corps, board of strategy, service, boxing, track and gym team. Students of the Merger Club, which is to study the word "Y" in Africa. A HiY church visiting group is to be organized. The billiard, checker, chess, ping-pong, bowling and debating teams expect to have an active season. The young people's conference that is planned for December will attend the community, the young leaders of the community, the young co-operate in many instances with clubs in the Young Women's Christian Association.

HENRY LINCOLN
JOHNSON LODGE
The officers of Henry Lincoln Johnson Lodge are rallying to defend what they term an attempt from outsiders to control the next elec-
tor for their lodge. Exalted Ruler A. B. Chirlow, for several terms the head of the Bronx Antlers and the first exalted ruler of the lodge, has decided to get down. Outsiders, say the Henry Lincoln Johnson men, led by Special Deputy Gordon Shepard, are planning to put over P. E. R. Godfrey Lyle as the next exalted ruler and Lionel Kelly, a former exalted ruler in the lodge of Laurie B. Blocock, the present secretary. They also plan to replace the treasurer, Edward T. Gibbs.
To offset this outside influence that the Bronx men are objecting to, they have planned their own slate, which includes the elevation of Archibald Osborne, present leading knight, to the esteemed male leader of the Bronx in office of both Elock and Gibbs, both of whom have made good records.
BROOKLYN LODGE
Members of Brooklyn Lodge will elect a secretary at their next regular meeting to the esteemed male leader of the late Engene Gordon, for a year secretary of Brooklyn Lodge.

Possible Trade With Stores in Harlem The Examination in the Selection of Their Own WEEK The Amsterdam News said that the Democrats and the Democrats were trying to buy one bag. The Republicans still have had it, but the Democrats have evidently a job. They found that the Southern cats had yelled so loud when they tried to put it that they have decided to keep them in the Black cat go. No other interpretations statements that were issued by the D Committee last week.
THE CASE Carter Glass of Virginia telegram to Chairman Raskob of the Democratic asking if Jack Johnson, the Negro pro-authorized to work and speak for Governor, generally known, and was published mainly denied, that Jack Johnson had been asking for Governor Smith among the Negro at Mr. Raskob hastened to deny it; he mess: "The story of Jack Johnson's being behalf of the Democratic National Republican propaganda. Johnson has made the committee in any capacity."
THE OTHER CASE someone made the Governor Smith's private secretary was a New York been laughed off by any half well-informed South immediately boiled over and the National Committee at once issued the followethrough is, Governor Smith does not have, the Negro secretary and in the employ of the State of New York this has been done as they are given in the South, to win women, etc."
DEMOCRATIC PAPERS have criticized the state that unworthy things were being said that he should put a stop to them; stop them he will be placed in the position. Thus, according to the Democrats' Governor Smith does not put his foot down as the two we have quoted, he only refused to appoint Negroes to take refusal to win Southern votes. Calling the people, he makes political capital onto a certain part of the people, making his platform.
ORES are given plain notice what to expect selected. "Only such jobs as they are given with porters, janitors, charwomen." As for Smith after such a statement will that he was kidding himself. In word the Democrats have said: "Black cats."
DEMOGRO opera "Voodoo," composed by the German and presented by him at Palm Grove be called a milestone in the history of the. For two years Mr. Freeman had toiled then he attacked the back-breaking task before the public unaided. The white comedian face such difficulties; he can give a creation, knowing that an organization is to take charge of everything else. As scheek is ready to whip a waiting orchidous singers to study the role, stage, press agents, financing committees are all ready to put the opera before the best possible conditions.
HIS terrific secondary labor, which a crane not have to be bothered with, fell upon Lawrence Freeman. With all the odds a gallant fight to put a real Negro opera is no discredit to him that the performer lack of proper financial backing. It was to expect that white music patrons were on Negro music that aspired to some ragtime; but what of the wealthy New interest in the arts? Honor and praise for Mr. Freeman's great financial ability be given him unstintedly.
Wherever possible Trade With Stores in Harlem That Do Not Practice Discrimination in the Selection of Their Employees.
Black Cats Must Go!
Black Cats Must Go!
LAST WEEK The Amsterdam News said that both the Republicans and the Democrats were trying to make two cats stay in one bag. The Republicans still have hopes of accomplishing it, but the Democrats have evidently given it up as a bad job. They found that the Southern cat scratched so hard and yelled so loud when they tried to put the Negro cat in with it that they have decided to keep the Southern cat and let the Black cat go. No other interpretation can be put on two statements that were issued by the Democratic National Committee last week.
IN ONE CASE Carter Glass of Virginia telegraphed indignantly to Chairman Raskob of the Democratic National Committee asking if Jack Johnson, the Negro prizefighter, had been authorized to work and speak for Governor Smith. Now, it is generally known, and was published months ago without being denied, that Jack Johnson had been appointed to work for Governor Smith among the Negroes of Chicago. But Mr. Raskob hastened to deny it; he replied to Carter Glass: "The story of Jack Johnson's being authorized to speak on behalf of the Democratic National Committee is cheap Republican propaganda. Johnson has no connection with the committee in any capacity."
IN THE OTHER CASE someone made the statement that Governor Smith's private secretary was a Negro. This would have been laughed off by any half well-informed person, but the South immediately boiled over and the Democratic National Committee at once issued the following statement: "Truth is, Governor Smith does not have, and never has had, Negro secretary and in the employment of Negroes by the State of New York this has been done only to fill such jobs as they are given in the South, to wit: porters, janitors, chauwomen, etc." THE DEMOCRATIC PAPERS have criticized Mr. Hoover on the ground that unworthy things were being done in his behalf and that he should put a stop to them; that if he does not stop them he will be placed in the position of approving them. Thus, he according to the Democrats' own argument, if Governor Smith does not put his foot down on such statements as the two we have quoted, he approves of them. He has not only refused to appoint Negroes to office; he is using that refusal to win Southern votes. Calling himself a man of all the people, he makes political capital of his denying office to a certain part of the people, making race hate a plank in his platform.
NEGROES are given plain notice what to expect if Smith should be elected. "Only such jobs as they are given in the South, to wit: porters, janitors, charwomen." Any Negro who votes for Smith after such a statement will not have the excuse that he was kidding himself. In words as plain as poison the Democrats have said: "Black cats must go!"
Lawrence Freeman's Opera
THE NEGRO opera "Voodoo," composed by Mr. Lawrence Freeman and presented by him at Palm Garden last week, may be called a milestone in the history of higher Negro music. For two years Mr. Freeman had toiled at composing it; then he attacked the back-breaking task of putting it before the public unaided. The white composer does not have to face such difficulties; he can give his whole energy to creation, knowing that an organization is formed and waiting to take charge of everything else. A Toscanini or Bamboschek is ready to whip a waiting orchestra into shape, famous singers to study the role, stage managers, impresarios, press agents, financing committees, wealthy music-loveres — all are ready to put the opera before the public under the best possible conditions.
ALL THIS terrific secondary labor, which a creative artist should not have to be bothered with, fell upon the shoulders of Lawrence Freeman. With all the odds against him, he made a gallant fight to put a real Negro opera before the world. It is no discredit to him that the performances had to close for lack of proper financial backing. It was perhaps too much to expect that white music patrons would look with favor on Negro music that aspired to something beyond jazz or ragtime; but what of the wealthy Negroes who profess an interest in the arts? Honor and praise may be poor consolation for Mr. Freeman's great financial loss, but they should be given him unstintedly.
Tolstoi
WEEK the world celebrated the centenary of the great Russian writer and thinker. In his literary work and much more about which was the doctrine of virtue and an art, in spite of their massiveness and practically great works. PHILOSOPHY is less convincing; it is one having been born of necessity rather than in his prime was one of the gayestung blades of the Russian court. If in his powers and appetites were high, he had philosophy would have been more impure. I till he was too old to enjoy or endure drink, gambling and love; then he began. There is no credit in virtue when an art for anything else.
LAST WEEK the world celebrated the centenary of Lyof Tolstoi, the great Russian writer and thinker. Much was said about his literary work and much more about his philosophy, which was the doctrine of virtue and an ascetic life. His novels, in spite of their massiveness and preaching, were undoubtedly great works.
HIS PHILOSOPHY is less convincing; it is open to the charge of having been born of necessity rather than conviction. Tolstoi in his prime was one of the gayest, most dissolute young blades of the Russian court. If in those days, when his powers and appetites were high, he had practiced cirtue, his philosophy would have been more impressive. But he waited till he was too old to enjoy or endure fighting, gluttony, drink, gambling and love; then he began to preach virtue. There is no credit in virtue when it are too old and feeble for anything else.
Negro Voters in Revolt
NEGRO voters are bolting and revolting against traditional party lines as they have never done before. Negro Smith organizations, North, South, East and West, are about as numerous and as active as those for his Republican opponent. According to my personal observation and the best information I can secure, about three Negro men out of five, when approached as to their preference, openly declare for Smith or remain non-committal. If the Republican contingent is better organized and co-ordinated than the Democratic rivals, it is by reason of the fact that the Grand Old Party has built up a more competent staff of professional politicians, who are adepts at the game.
There is but one practical remedy for this resilientness and dissatisfaction, which the Republican party is not willing to apply. As long as the Grand Old Party ignores the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, flirts with "filly whites" and crucifies the Negro participants, it cannot expect that self-respecting Negroes will support its cause with enthusiasm and gladness. If Charles Sumner and Thaddeus Svenson had been delegates to the Kansas City convention, they would have had the moment the party refused stress the human rights amendments. Every Negro delegate

To the Editor of The Amsterdam
Dear Sir:
We, too, are not satisfied with the general policy of
The Amsterdam News. We as a group would like to see this paper become the most fearless, progressive, independent and intelligent journal edited by Negroes. We are not unmindful of the fact that the paper has succeeded in bringing into association the ablest and most resourceful group of available journalists. But we are not so successful for the position taken by this newspaper on problems that are of fundamental importance to us.
Take for example the all-important question of Negroes patronizing Negro businesses. Your solo contribution to the burning question is the phrase on the diatribal page, the metaphysical words as not to offend anybody, which I suspect is the chief reason for this limp statement. We insist that you take a vigorous stand on this question and use direct language so that everyone may know the import of the

He materially aided every worthy cause brought to his attention, whether it was a donation to an organization, a loan to a friend in financial trouble, or an investment in a Negro enterprise. He gave of his means and of his time "until it hurt." He was the outstanding link between foolishly warring American-born and foreign-born Negroes. He loved and helped them all. He was a devoted husband, a loving father.
HIS EXTREME GENEROSITY, together with the fact that he had been cut down in the prime of his life, have, no doubt, prevented him from laying aside enough of this world's treasures to provide (in the way that he always provided for them) for his family. While he lived he did all the good he could do. He is now dead, and it is to be hoped that the noble work he did will be carried on to greater heights by others.
UNTIMELY as was his end, it gives those whom he has befriended, those whom he has served without pay who are now able to pay, an opportunity to show their manly and womanly qualities by repaying into his estate all money justly due him, and of which there is probably no record anywhere. This fact was stressed at the public services held over his remains by the Rev. Charles D. Martin, and we restress it here. If Dr. E. Elliott Rawlins has given you professional services for which you are now able to pay, do so now—and the sooner the better. There is no charity in this. It is a duty and obligation. All Harlem is indebted to him.
NOTE—The Amsterdam News will be pleased to receive and publicly acknowledge, with or without mentioning the name, contributions to an "E. Elliott Rawlins Consilience Fund," and turn them over to his estate. They may also be given to his widow at his former address. No. S West 130th street, or to his successor, Dr. Ivan E. R.

There are at least two million qualified Negro voters in the North and in the South. Horelin lies a latent power of incalculable potentiality. Let the Negro voter support sound moral principles, on whichever side of the political line they may fall. In the present campaign, I can see but one essential principle that distinguishes the two parties and the two candidates is that this vehicle of prohibition. While I regret not that the Republican party is not unequivocally committed to the moral principle of prohibition, yet the Democratic adversary stands for its immediate or ultimate destruction.
Mr. Hoover believes that the noble experiment should be carried out constructively; Mr. Smith thinks that the experiment is vicious in principle, and should be frustrated without further trial. The Negro can justify his vote for Hoover on the ground of the Constitution, law, order and temperance. A vote for Smith counts in the contrary direction. This he can do, with self-respect, notwithstanding Kansas City, Perry Howard and "lily whites." He never, however, the populist give Mr. Hoover the populist to understand that because he is vying the ticket he is insensitive to the outrageous treatment he has received and is receiving at its hands. The Negro press has commented widely upon my open letter to Mr. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Rulers, in which I urged that the movement of political revolt which he headed should vote

Q—Where was Mr. Hoover born?
W—West Branch, Iowa.
Q—What are the qualifications for a voter in New York StateI
A—A qualified voter is a citizen who is or will be on the date of election 21 years of age and who has been an inhabitant of the State and elected and for the four last months a resident of the county and for the last thirty days a resident of the election district in which he is elected. If a naturalized citizen, such person must in addition to the foregoing provision have been naturalized at least 90 days prior to the marriage must have been an inhabitant of the United States for five years and married ninety days prior to such date. In the case of a person who has been entitled to vote in State by naturalization, or otherwise after Jan. 1, 1922, such person must in addition to the foregoing provides he be able—except for physical disability—to vote in English. A new voter is a person who, if he is entitled to vote in this State, shall have become so entitled on or after Jan. 1, 1922, and who may be a general election in the State of New York after making proof of ability to read and write English.

Some said that I argued for Smith and concluded for Hoover; others, that I was carrying water on both shoulders—a rather delicate compliment to a performer's steadiness and polis, a performer's apprehension for preferable to the attentive to carry water on one shoulder and beer on the other as the wet Negro Republicans are essaying to do. Still others mistook open-mindedness for double-mindedness. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are all right or all wrong on great public questions. There is a strange and confusing mixture of vices and virtues in both camps. The Kansas Republicans are dry; the New York Republicans are wet. Mr. Work wrinkles hard for the Negro vote in the soft pedals the Fifteenth Amendment to the South. The voter must select for himself the political or moral issues which he deems vital.
The campaign season is the psychological moment for any aggrieved group to emphasize its wrongs. Those who seek Finley Wilson's support will naturally by soft persuasion urge him to forget his grievances until the issue is settled. "Help us win the war and we will remedy your complaints after the victory is won." The grievable Negro has listened to this cruelty and is amazed by amazing credibility for ten quadruplets; it is with astounding efrortory that Negro's intelligence that the same old trick is still resorted to. If the Negro consents to forget his grievances while the campaign is on, the winning party will surely ignore them when the campaign is over.
dor's statement to The Amsterdam News. The newspapers report that the gentleman has kinky hair, acuiline nose and a dark olive complexion. That alone is enough for Mr. Calender to consider before placing Mr. Ouafi clearly outside the Negro race. American Negroes won't lose a hair when they figure down to what race Mr. Ouafi belongs. We know it is not financially profitable for even a Zulu to be a Negro when dealing with American white folks. Nationally, this Arab runner is an Arabian; racially, he is descended from the African natives in Africa, which had its origin in Africa, where Mr. El Ouafi has always lived.
And about the Abyssiants: They may not want to claim any kishness with us American Negroes, but it is noted that when they, and all other Africans, come over they find a haven of shelter under the black man's tent in Harlem. Blood will always find its way home, regardless of what color the skin is.

"Is Democracy Possible In U. S.?" Du Bois Asks
Writing in the October Crisis Magazine on "The Possibility of Democracy in America," Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois asserts that "here, where we have essayed the greatest experiment in democracy, we have perhaps the greatest failure."
The distranchisement of Negroes he points out, has encouraged oligarchy in the South, has enabled Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and over the Nineteenth, or Woman Suffrage, Amendment. "And, finally," writes Dr. Du Bois, "it entirely violates the normal distribution of voting power throughout the nation and makes a third party impossible."
Another, important article in the October Crisis is by Alfred Alexander on "The Housing of Harlem," illustrated by photographer of the new Paul Lawrence Dunbar Apartment. The co-operative apartment, by Mr. Rockefeller, have achieved what Mr. Alexander calls "an astonishing success."
An editorial, entitled "How Shall We Vote?" gives some pungent advice to those puzzled by the Presidential campaign now in progress.

IN THE DEATH of Dr. E. Elliott Rawlins this community was bereft of one of its busiest and most valuable citizens. Throughout his twenty years as a medical practitioner he never lost sight of the larger interests of Harlem. In spite of his busy practice he found time to enlist himself in every forward movement of the Harlem Negro, often giving freely of his purse when those of larger means stood selfishly aloof. When asked to concern himself with the cause and condition of those less fortunate than he, he never said, like Cain in the Bible: "Am I my brother's keeper?"
ONE OF HIS GREATEST services to Harlem was his weekly article, "Keeping Fit," which appeared regularly in The Amsterdam News for more than five years preceding his death. Mothers particularly looked forward to it every week as a guide in raising their children; but as often as not it dealt with the diseases of adults and told how to avoid them. To thousands of homes it brought information which otherwise would have had to be purchased at a price that many families could not afford. It might be said, incidentally, that those who accuse a paper of printing nothing but crime news should give it credit for such articles as those of Dr. Rawlins.
IF A GREATER NUMBER of professional men were imbued with the spirit and devotion of Dr. Rawlins the condition of the Negro in Harlem would improve almost overnight.
Co-operation Between West Indian and U. S. Negroes
By WILLIAM PICKENS
The basis of co-operation of ant colonies and bee color principles: their common intwinter elements and in present enemies.
Every community of intl Indian and American Negro their co-operation and mutually of the West Indian Negted States.
If the interests of two grchangeably antagonistic, that understandable cause for the and warlare. When any two definite and limited thing, un in some way together, there tween those two groups, an could prevent war.
The basis of co-operation is common interest. Members of ant colonies and bee colonies work together on the same principles: their common interest in preserving life against winter elements and in preserving their race or species against enemies.
Every community of interest, therefore, between West Indian and American Negroes is a complete argument for their co-operation and mutual aid. We are thinking especially of the West Indian Negro groups that live in the United States.
If the interests of two groups were necessarily and unchangeably antagonistic, that fact would furnish at least an understandable cause for their mutual antagonism, hatred and warfare. When any two groups want the same thing, a definite and limited thing, unless they can agree to share it in some way together, there will, of course, be warfare between those two groups, and neither reason nor religion could prevent war.
But there is no such limited and definite thing lying "in no man's land" between American and West Indian Negroes. They have nothing to take from each other; they must take from the opposition—the opposing circumstances, conditions, prejudices, traditions—and from the opposition of other groups who, because of segregation, cannot know and understand them.
The struggle against these handicaps is one undivided and indivisible interest for American West Indian Negroes in the United States. In that prejudice of other races never distinguishes between West Indian Negroes and American Negroes: in segregation movements the segregationist never says "West Indian Negroes" or "native-American Negroes"; but he says simply: "exclude Negroes!" In such a situation, negroes have a reason for co-operation—cause for friendship and not a casus bell.
In the United States of America the same thing is true with every other important interest of these two groups: What is against one is against the other also. The enemy of the one is the other's enemy. There can be no victory but a common victory. The only sensible strife between these two peoples, therefore, should be a friendly strife—a sort of rivalry of efforts to achieve this victory for all.
How, then, has the queer notion ever arisen that there is some nature or unavoidable cause for antagonism between West Indian and American Negro? Some say that the fault is in the humanness of the West Indian Negro; that he segregates himself and assumes a distinction or difference from the American.
But let us consider the situation of people who migrate from their own home and enter as a small minority into a strange land. It is but natural that a little group of people who live in a strange creased dependence upon each other, and in the strange land will feel even nearer together in interests than they felt at home. What is called clamishness in the West Indian is perhaps to be expected in any group so situated; and the same is true in American Negroes in West Africa or Jamaica would show the same reaction.
It has been noticed that West Indian groups who were not especially friendly to each other in their own country will "stand up" for each other in New York. That is commendable rather than otherwise. Some that did not even know each other in their homelands, who came perhaps from different parts of the sea, like the Bermudas, the Bahamas, Jamaica and Trinidad, will in America feel nevertheless a common interest and kinship when they find themselves all lumped together as "those West Indians." This very conditional unity of whose West Indian groups is in itself encouraging and offers evidence for what we are claiming in this editorial: That co-operation does not depend upon common origin but upon community of interests.
The same principles should unite the American Negro and these West Indian groups in a

common struggle against the almost universal barriers erected by greed and ignorance against their kind. And in spite of our human weakness (or because of it), such a co-operation of Negro groups in America is bound to come; for nothing is more reasonable, nor in the end more certain, than that indiscriminate attack will beget indiscriminate defense.
Others say that the fault lies in the American Negro's attitude, which, like that of most ordinary human beings, is likely to be tingling with a show of prejudice against the welder, and to preen itself on the warrages which the native element uses, has, as a start at least, over the immigrant. This, too, is a natural human weakness and, insofar, to be undone. We all act like that until we think, and unfortunate many of us think seldom or never.
But when we think, we see clearly that it makes no difference in this Western Hemisphere who a Negro is, where he is from or where he aims to go, he will yet have the same cause of battle with al other Negroes in a given place. In all this western world, therefore, Negroes are compatriots, of one cause if not of one country.
Group-conscious pride in the brave little West Indian groups is excusable. Ignorant prejudice in some American Negro classes is forgivable. A clear pride in the American one homefolk is even commendable. We all feel good when an American, of any color, puts one over as did Lindbergh.
If I were from Jamaica, in New York I would feel an extra bit of pride in the eminent achievement of any other Jamaican. I was born in South Carolina, and for that I feel I have always felt an extra interest in South Carolinians whom I have met. Group pride can exist without malice, without jealousy or envy or mean strife. I am especially proud when a black South Carolinian achieves honor and success. I am not therefore without pride when any other Negro is fortunate and honored, be he from Jamaica, Massachusetts, Trinidad. When we THINK, the family circle widens. We are all one.
