Two men had held up the storekeeper and one escaped with $250 from the cash register.

The bullet paralyzed the robber's courage as it shot a stinging pain into his side and dropped his gun. All three of the thugs turned and fled. McKee pulled the trigger twice again but the cursed weapon jammed. He threw it aside in violent disgust and bolted after the robbers afoot. Two men escaped, including the wounded one, but McKee cornered the third man in a superintendent's basement apartment in 134th street.

There was not sufficient evidence upon which to hold him, it is said. No one was in the vicinity of the lighted Regun Theatre lobby when the lightning-like holdup took place. Patrolman Durross of the West 123d street station had followed a suspicious-looking auto, corresponding in description to that of the bandits' car, for half an hour before the robbery took place. Durross and Patrolman Mugavan were patrolling their beats less than half a block from the theatre when the robbery occurred. Immediately after Miss Ghecksman was compelled to hand over the cash she ran into the street crying for help as the bandits scrambled into their motor car and dashed away. Durross and Mugavan responded and conducted a breakneck chase after the bandits' car for six blocks in a commanded taxicab, but were ontended when the robbers turned south on Fifth avenue and were lost in the traffic.

She failed to appear and press the charge and the restaurateur was exonerated. The restaurant man's wife declared that she works in the establishment with De lugo and can definitely state that Miss Watson's accusations are untrue. Mrs. De lugo stated that she and her mate had won the respect and trust of a large number of patrons during the three years they have been in business in Harlem.

LEAGUE OF TENANTS URGES REFUSAL TO PAY ANY INCREASES Numerous Families Get Notices to Pay More Rent January 1 Protest Meeting to Be Held Monday Legal Aspects Set Forth One tenants' organization was today in the midst of a campaign to oppose the proposed Harlem apartment rent increases to the extent of calling a rent strike and flatly refusing to pay anything until an adjustment is made. Announcement of the opposition was made by Richard B. Moore, president of the Harlem Tenants' Association. Man Held in Auto Death of Harlemite Richard. Guye, 180. Edgecombe avenue, was-run down by an automobile sold to have been driven by Robert Paisley, white, 31, 255 Fort Washington avenue, early Thursday morning, at Seventh avenue and 142d street.

Fisk Professor Dies NASHVILLE, Teenn., Dec. 10.—A career of service, which extended over more than twoscore years, came to an end here last Wednesday when Prof. James Dallas Burrus of Fisk University passed away, leaving his estate to the school. Dr. Layton Wheaton, Loses Third Suit Clerk, Accused Wife of Im-nh Harlem Dentist — ed by Witnesses West 128th street, lost his most Ethel Morse, 25 West 140th Mr. Justice Joseph Glennon, sitronx County, Special Term; reurs. Morse. The husband named Wheaton, dentist, 2337 Seventh made two previous attempts to "divorce raid," conducted by the Boulin National Detective Agency, then at 110 East 125th street, upon the premises, or rather the office of Dr. Wheaton on the night of Feb. 26, 1927. Morse led the raid and, afterword claimed that he found his wife in a compromising position with Dr. Wheaton. This contention was given the lie by two witnesses, Mrs. Jane Earl, whose apartment is in the same building ever the doctor's office and Dr. Henry Ferguson, a chirpologist, both of whom testified that they were in Dr. Wheaton's office at the time of the raid. Mrs. Morse and Dr. Wheaton were fully clad, they said, and the dentist was preparing to leave his office to attend the theatre. They also denied any misconduct on the part of either of them. Morse instituted divorce action in March, 1927. His application was denied last Wednesday upon the merits of the defense. The organization's decision to fight came as a part of the wave of rentment which swept over Harlem last week when the Jan. 1 rent scale on one-sixroom apartment was skyrocketed from $67 to $100 and numerous tenants were notified of increase. The rent boom is seen in many quarters as a significant of the landlords' determination to take advantage of the expiration of the old rent law. That tenants will have little recourse in the courts was indicated in the fact that no provision is made in the law for protection of tenants paying more than $10 per month per room. Most Harlem renters already pay more for their quarters. The Harlem Tenants' Association will hold a mass meeting of protest Monday evening at the auditorium of the branch public library, 103 West 135th street. The organization, which number 300 members, will urge wholesale organization of tenants and a flat refusal to pay rents Jan. 1, Mr. Moore said Monday. Landlords could not afford to seek hundreds of evictions and would have to come to terms if tenants united, he asserted. The organization has offices at 169 West 135th street and will give information and advice to persons who have received increase notices. Enlarging upon the strike proposal, the league head said: "The tenants are already paying exorbitant rents in the community and any increase must be resisted with every means possible. We will have to be prepared to go through with a rent strike if these exactions are continued." The Academy Tenants' League, which has a membership of 7,000, covering all Manhattan, is also offering service to tenants whose rents are boosted. There are approximately 400 Negro members of the organization, according to Miss Lucille Zeuner, white, 209 West 107th street. The league has received complaints from twenty-four members, Miss Zeuner said. They will seek redress through the courts and take counsel with State legislators. The John R. McNeel Association, a democratic club with offices at 113 West 136th street, continues to give service to tenants. John R. McNeel is head of the organization. The legal aspects facing tenants who have been ordered to meet the increases were outlined Monday in a statement to The Emergence News by Abraham Grenthal, assembly from the Nineteenth District, who introduced the Emergency Rent Laws about to expire. His statement is in effect: A judge of a court that has awarded possession of dwelling premises to a landlord because the tenant remained in the premises after his term expired without permission, may grant the tenant permission to remain as long as six months. This, however, is contingent upon the good faith of the requesting tenant, and that he cannot secure suitable premises like his own in the neighborhood after making an effort to find the same. The court may also grant a stay of six months if refusal would work extreme hardship upon the tenant or his family. WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 10 (ANP).

Hospital Denies Jim Crow Charge Discrimination Among Employees Admitted, However Following The Amsterdam News publication of a story regarding alleged Jim Crow tactics at the Presbyterian Hospital of the Medical Center group, 16th street and Broadway, the institution's executive vice-president made denial of the charges Monday and two organizations took steps to probe actual conditions there. The last allegation against the hospital was that the late Mrs. J. W. Brown, wife of the pastor of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, who was denied a private room on account of her color November 16. Vice-President Bush indicated, but did not state specifically, that the reservations were cancelled by some one he did not know. Rooms cost as high as $25 a day at the hospital but he secured as much as $6 "but patients of any color." The rule of service without regard to race or color is religiously upheld, he stated. That the equality principle is not carried out in the matter of personnel or student nurses is evidenced in a letter received by Mrs. Suale Payton Wortham, 130 West 142d street, who wrote to the hospital protecting the expulsion of Miss Gladys L. Catchings of Washington University in the county of her color. The president, Dean Sage, wrote her, in part: "The Presbyterian Hospital was organized for the treatment of the poor of New York without regard to race, creed or color.

Botts. In discussing fallacies of the contention that the educated man is non-productive, Mr. Botts divided the contention into two categories—tangible and intagible. Any service which better the physical, financial, or mental condition of humanity is productive, he declared. "The ultimate aim of all production is the satisfaction of human wants and needs, whether they be physical or psychic, and, inasmuch as the professional individual renders a service, he is a productive factor in our economic life." Botts said. C. A. Mead addressed the body on "Doubling Competence" in urged the need to increase insecurities especially in old age, insurance, savings and investments were offered as stems promoting competency. C. M.

Population Increasing Rapidly Growth of the Negro population of New York City has been four times as great as that of the general population of the city during the past decade, according to facts brought out in a comprehensive survey of the population of the area within 60 miles of Manhattan, to be published next week by the Regional Plan of New York City. "The growth in colored population is greatest in Manhattan," the report says, "where the number of Negroes approximately triplied in the twenty-year period ending in 1920. The Negro percentage of the total population of Manhattan was only two in 1900 and 4.8 in 1920. Greater percentages existed in 1920 in the suburban New Jersey cities of Montclair (12 per cent) and Orange (10.9 per cent), but the rate of increase has been relatively low. The percentage of New York City early in 1922 is estimated by the New York Urban League to be in excess of 250,000, of which 170,000 are in Harlem."

Dougherty Owner of New Lincoln Theatre Will Celebrate Her Twentieth Year Here Christmas Week Will Be a Gala Occasion at the New Lincoln Theatre When Mrs. Downs Will Present the Real Talking-Motion Pictures ALL-COLORED CAST IN MOVIETONE Moss and Frye and Musical Comedy Cast to Run Full Two Hours Will Be Shown for the First Time Here at the House Noted for Many Innovations If it is true that the new talking-motion pictures will create interest among colored people, then it is also true that those pictures showing colored artists in this new form of entertainment will carry an extra appeal to the theatregoers in this section of the city. And it was left to Mrs. Maria C. Downs, ever charming and popular owner of the New Lincoln Theatre on 135th street, that has set the pace for everything Negroes are enjoying in those theatres catering exclusively to them in this community. Christmas week has been set aside for the installing of what will undoubtedly be a new era in the world of entertainment here, for on this occasion Mrs. Downs will celebrate her twentieth year of operating a theatre in the very heart of the colored population. From the day that Mrs. Downs came to this section of the city to the present she has remained the same charming and genial person, and never tried to miss the way tried to miss the public as to the form of entertainment to be offered at her house. She, too, has given—and very heavily—to the various charitable institutions among colored people, and, in the case of the sought publityle she that her giving would add to her box office receipts. Unlike a number of others, the smile that she has for all brought into contact with her is natural and not one seen when she is doing well but be quiet when she is frightened from what things are not going her way. Twenty years to hold the affection of a host of friends is quite some time, and when this lady comes to Harlem during Christmas week, which has been set aside as the time not only to celebrate her birthday, but also to form of entertainment, the people in the community should turn out and give a big hand. Everything worth while in the Negro theatre in Harlem has had its start at the Lincoln, and if there were to be any losses entailed the new entures would have been true. Down was stood ready to assume them with the same old smile. ```markdown ``` Some time ago it was rumored that the New Lincoln owner had planned to withdraw from the Lincoln and it created a sensation in certain quarters. So much so a number of colored people took it upon themselves to ask her to retain her directing interest in her theatre. And so during Christmas week will come to the Lincoln Moss and Aurea Motion Studio in other colored performers in a talking-motion picture which, for curiosity it nothing else, will naturally draw thousands to the Lincoln. The show to be offered in conjunction with the talking-motion pictures will be announced in these columns next week. Movietone Opportunity Knocks for Negro Artists LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 30.—(By Associated Negro Press)—With a need for no less than 500 musicians, singers, actors, speakers, elocutionists, soft shoe, ballet and tap dancers the Colored Artists' Association, now located in Los Angeles, has opened doors to those who believe that they may find a field for their activities and a reward for their long preparation and years of watchful waiting. Dr. Hamilton Douglas is the founder of this movement, with Mme. Lillian Nordica, J. Pierpont Morgan, and Hon. George Meklejohn as associates. The late International Artists' Production for the fostering of art of all nations. With the demand for Negro talent growing daily, Dr. Douglas instituted of the Colored Artists' Association as a branch of the West 35th Street, for three years instructor of the famous Borean Choir of Chicago as its representative head. Mr. Powell, with a large experience in musical centers of America and Europe, is well suited to select the talent to perform in work for the association is wide and comprehensive, embracing painting, sculpture and all the fine arts, but the present need is of those connected with the production of sound. For large academy is to be built near Elsinor, California, the first of a number of others throughout the country. Handy to Open Branch Office in "Windy City" W. C. Handy, music publisher of this city and "father of the blues," went to Chicago with the Monarch Lodge of Elks, No. 45, and found so much to interest him that he has many eyes, the need of a branch office, the loop, and has been asked to head a musical organization there presenting a stage and dance band. He feels the Chicago spirit in relation to the World's Fair, for which extensive preparations are being conducted and the ground floor to represent the achievement of the race in music, since his contributions to American music have created world-wide attention. Mr. Handy celebrated his fifty birthday November, with double cause for celebration—a Victor record of "St. Louis Blues" by George Austin being released all over the United States on that date, which promises to be a big royalty better. Mr. Handy sold his first Memphis Blues for $100, but hold on to subsequent compitions, which now yield him large revenues from radio, viflahone, moviecine, THE NEW YORK TIMES Like His Predecessors in Big Shows in Europe, Ferguson Has Been Singled Out for Special Praise in the British Presentation Known as "Virginia." phonographs, and all mechanical reproductions, not only in America, but in European countries.

Nothing Like Pep THE thing that most attracts people to the modern musical show, often winning preference over first class dramatic offerings, is the verve and fire and life with which its performance is associated in the public mind. Ordinarily, people go to the theatre nowadays not so much to rest their dispositions, as the tired business man formerly was said to do, but rather to speed up their energies—to catch something of that healthy spirit of living that is so much more along to achievement like never before in its history. The laggard has no chance today, on the stage or anywhere. A standard musical show of the type of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1923," at the Ettlingo Theatre, is a sort of crystallization of this spirit of animation. Hence its wide popular appeal. But there is something specially concise about the content of these colored entertainers. Thelrs is a reputation for adding to the usual quality of musical show animation an individual native buoyancy and zest and almost religious enthusiasm which few people pause to consider and analyze. Adelaide Hall, one of the principals of the company, has some interesting views to convey on the subject. "Nothing succeeds like pop," says the director. "Nothing can take the place of that push and drive, in any activity, which comes from entire lack of self-consciousness. We colored artists do not think in terms of 'our public'—we are just ourselves at all times; and we give to our play, for our work is just that, our undivided energy and attention. We have no inferiorly complexes nor any superiorly complexes. We just do our stuff." "Ellinor Glyn said somewhere that the quality of 'it' is possessed by people filled with an easy self-confidence that prompts them to follow their lightest natural impulse. We 'Blackbirds' don't lay claim to 'it', but we do believe our success results from our actions as we honestly feel and from listening to Mother Nature's song echoing in our heart beats. We feel mighty close to her at times, and that's what makes us very happy. So we just show our happiness in a natural way." Learn to Dance ANDERSON STUDIO 564 LENOX AVE.

The boys are indeed a clever man, with worlds of ability and they simply run away with any bill they are on. Greenlee and Drayton have returned to London after a short provincial tour and will play a few more Stoll dales before heading for the continent. Little Cora La Red, who came over to join the now popular production "Virginia" at the Palace Theatre, has been given her notice and will leave the show this week. As I predicted some time ago, Miss La Red did not take advantage of her opportunities in "Virginia" therefore I knew was only utter of time before she would be compelled to leave the show. She will sail for America shortly. The English "Blackbird" company with Johnny Nitt, Williams and Taylor and Eddie Hunter were at the Empire, Birmingham, last week and are playing the Hippodrome, Bradford, this week. Layton and Johnstone are the big noise this and next week at the Alhambra in Leicester square. It is interesting to see their billing. They are billed over Will Flife, the big Scotch comedian, who was such a sensation in America at the Palace last year and who will soon be returning to the Palace. Norma Davis, one of the dancing girls in "Showboat," returns to America Wednesday. Miss Davis came to London when "Showboat" opened in May, and has had a jolly good time during her stay on this side.

Last week Rose Pelswick had the following to say in the New York Evening Journal: "Another film cycle is upon us. For a while it looked as though the talks would devote themselves entirely to underworld melodramas because of the sound possibilities in machine guns and hard-boiled characters who talk out of one corner of their mouths. But it seems that the effectiveness of Negro Spiritualists has also intrigued the producers of eye-and-ear entertainment. So now come the all-talking, more elaborate productions, not merely actors in Al Johnson's make-up, crooning "Mummy" against a painted plantation back-drum. "As you know—if you follow this column devotedly every day—King Vidor made a country-wide search for Negro talent to appear in 'Halleluah.' The entire company, which recently invariably in emblems is now in Hollywood, completed the final screens. The Dixie Jubilee Singers will be heard in the singing sequences. "From the Fox studio yesterday came word that Charles Gilpin—remembered for his work in Eugene O'Neill's play 'The Emperor Jones'—has finished his work in 'Hearts in Dixie,' a feature length all-Negro production written by the composer, and the film selected on the Coast, and the Spirituals are sung by the Billbrow Chorus of forty voices. "Katha some time ago bought the rights to 'Porgy,' the Theatre Guild play, but no production plans have yet been definitely announced. "Christie comedies, however, are filming a series of the Octavus Roy Colbert plays with an all-other cast. The first of the two-reelers, which are released by Paramount, is called 'The Melancholy Dame.'" Which, if you see what we mean, brings to mind the following letter from Jack Goldberg which came in late last week: December 8, 1928. Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty. Will you be kind enough to make note in your theatrical news column that I have resigned from the Majestic Theatrical Circuit, Inc., to take over complete management of one of the largest talking motion picture companies the market today, to handle exclusive distribution, making of all colored pictures, which I am contracting to put into all the colored theatres throughout the country.

He Is Shown Above in His Most Successful Character. I praise as a comedian than any other person of color appearing at the head of a show since the days of Williams and Walker. When disaster met the attempt to follow in the footsteps of "Shuffle Along," Hunter went on the road with "How Come?" and for quite some time the production met with success where she now being able to start on pls tour in this country litigation reared its head to block the efforts of hunter, but he eventually won out and was ready when the opportunity came for him to make the trip abroad.

Unlike in this country, the production will not be a burlesque with the white birds doing oblige and until the white birds doing oblige they will all be working together in the piece.

"The success of Vitaphone, Movielove and other such devices that regulates the motion of the screen, freely with the action on the screen is the real cause of all this activity. The powers that be believe that Negroes singing jubilee songs and spirituals with a southern background will go on to new and entertaining feature movies." "All of the above productions are, of course, being done with sound and dialogue and with fairly generous budgets and production schedules so that these productions when released might be called in real test of the Negro's potential as first-class motion picture material. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has King Vidor, one of the leading directors of the industry, handling its feature *Hattie Judd*, Paul Stuart, a Chisas Aman, is the director of *Hearts of Lizzy*, with the great Gilpin featured. Wielding the megaphone over an Octavious Colton story at the Christie studio is Avid Gillstrom, not so well known but competent, and so at the Negro being given to breathe has long been featured to be featured and do leads for the major companies in stories made from practical scenarios, directed by competent directors and made with the best studio equipment, to be shown in the best motion picture temples of the world. "We can surely be optimistic of the future of the Negro in pictures after taking into consideration what is now transpiring. Let us be thankful for this new era of progress, but don't let it be taken for granted. The white producers are doing in a measure just what the race itself should have been doing for years and what a few have done in a limited way in the past. But after all the white companies are going to present the Negro as they would have him. He will be the Negro in all phases of his existence. The supervisors will allow but little to creep into their stories that will bear out what President Coolidge said in his recent message to Congress, that "The progress that they (the Negroes) have made in education and the pro-cess of welfare and the civilization, fortune of the most remarkable incidents in this period of history." "Motion pictures are the world's greatest propaganda medium. For instance, there are those who believe, especially in foreign countries, and picture their own pictures that lean Indian has more civilised and that scaling women and children is their only pastime. In the search for comedy the Jew and the Irish have been burlesqued, but because they are financially interested their protests are being considered and conditions imminent. "We have also protested, but our protests at being shown only as cotton-pickers and servants have never been seriously considered. We fought D. W. Griffith's "Blithe of a Nation," but without much success, the series of our existence as drawn by the white companies we must make our own pictures. That is we must say what the story shall tell. Unfortunately, not owning any studios, having no cameraman, we must go to them and have our pictures made until we know how. We supply the camera, and we must we can tell the story we want and have it made as we wish." NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1928 Mrs. Maria C. Downs ```markdown ``` Celebrating the Twentieth Year of Her Activities in Harlem Christmas Week, Mrs. Downs and Her Assistants Will Usher In the Occasion Auspiciously With the First Talking Motion Pictures to Be Shown Here With Colored Artists. At Harlem Theatres By OBSERVER AT THE LAFAYETTE The Whitman Sisters breeze into town again this week to hold the boards at the Lafayette Theatre and got off to a wonderful start on Monday afternoon. This is nothing new for this aggregation of entertainers who have succeeded in being a drawing car for many years and to judge by the manner which they received they are always welcome. Unlike most producers of the revue form of entertainment, which has held good in all thetheaters catering to Negroes since the coming of an entirely new age even in the larger theatres, the Whitman Sisters present the new costumes in new fashion and add greatly to whatever they have to offer. Among those on whose shoulders fall the responsibility in the leading positions can be found Bernice Ellis, prima donna, who first came to New York with the popular Whitmans;桑伯娜, Sambora Wee, Dick Campbell, the tenor, Chas. Anderson, vodeler, Alma Travis, soubrette, Leo and Douglas, the uke boys, and Bert, Alice and Mabel Whitman. The costumes were designed by Essie Whitman. A fast stepping, good-looking chorus is always part of the Whitman Sisters' revue and this week they are just too bad. "RED HOT MAMMA" Irvin Miller's "Red Hot Mamma" is underlined as the big offering at the Lafayette next week. Much has been said of the show, which had a week's run at the Howard Theatre in Washington and which comes to me after a layette with Gertrude Saunders on one of the sets. Along with the show will be shown "The Night Watch," said to be one of the sensational new sound and talking pictures known as the blophone. At the present time "The Battle of Sexes" by D. W. Griffiths, creator of "The Birth of a Nation."

Miller and Lyles Coming Miller and Lyles, outstanding comedians, who have been absent from the stage of the colored theater since they appeared at the Lafayette in Bentonown, "will present and appear in the new musical comedy, which we are going to be given its first trout before appearing on Broadway. Of course, the policy of the theatre will remain the same, which will naturally bring the two popular comedians to must be an enlarged rove in that which is known as a legitimate musical comedy, such as is associated with Miller and Lyles, would necessitate a full three hours' run. In this instance the pictures will continue to play their part and Harlem cannot use the same kind of show which the new will appear in on Broadway if it is true they are going to the big street straight from the Lafayette. However, just the appearance of Miller and Lyles will be sufficient to add to anything they do in Harlem, as they are just as far above the usual line of comedians seen here as night is from day. "When Girls Leave Home," showing vividly the dangers that await country girls in a big city, is the Alhambra this week. Secrets of the white slave traffic are laid bare in a play that snaps with action. Susie Sutton plays well the role of the keeper of the house of bondage. Edna Cain is seen as a victim, Edna Cain as a girl plotted against Bunny Harper is the corrupt protector of the face, and George Rudoland lucius victims. Jimmie Baskette, first seen as a sot, turns out to be a secret service man, and Ted Blackmon, a Chinese master mind in breaking up the white slave traffic is Andrew S. Bishop. "The Beauty Parlor" is the musical, starting with a stirring parade of the attendants, who are Alhambra girls. Some wonderful tricks of transformation of patrons arouse surprise and laughter. Billy Higgins has joined the Alhambra talent, along with Johnny Lennon, Pigment, Manda Randolph, Daisy Rheoutbody, Berrice Mills, Hazel Cheek, and many others. Pretty Isabel Washington, sister of Freddie Washington, is another addition to the Alhambra forces. To complete the triple program there is the feature picture, "Wilful Youth," with Edna Murphy. The Alambra Next Week "The Red Circle," a drama showing how fate and chance through human lives, will be the play next week at the Alambram, with Andrew S. Bishop and the dramatic group, "Can a man stay away from the scene of his crime” is the question it asks. “Market Day, or Fun Among the Push-Carts,” is the odd theme of the musical comedy for next week, with Hugh Diglings, Johnny Lee Long, Isabel Washington, and a multitude of others. The picture, to round out the triple program, will be “Where the Trail Begins” with Johnny Walker. THE LINCOLN THEATRE In a setting which truly gave her an opportunity of forcing one to the belief that she is really the queen of the blues, Mamie Smith and her singing at the New York Theatre on Monday afternoon and one of the largest crowds that ever tried to find seats early at the Lincoln was on hand to greet her. None has ever questioned the right of Mamie Smith to enjoy the honor of having introduced a form of entertainment which has held sway for many years and which has found an outlet in centers where years of obscurity it would have been considered sacrilege to introduce the blues. A chorus full of pop, fling scenery and good-looking costumes brought the ever popular Mamie on and with her tumet that charm which adds to her personality. She can do with her ability to "put over" her numbers. And it was a riot. To round out one of the best bills offered at the Lincoln and in support of the campaign, Sonny Lee Skeets Winston, George Green, Al Young, Audrey Thomas, Bob Davis, Dewayman Niles and May Williams.

To make the occasion one of the most auspicious openings of the last few years practically every one of the schools in and around the metropolitan area were represented, while a gallery of over 4,000 watched the play and breathed in many interesting and breathtaking views. Like the brook made famous in Alfred Tennyson's poem, New Utrecht High School's band of fleet-footed runners kept their winning streak now. Coach Barney Hymen's charges have the faculty of emerging on top in the team scores and if Saturday's results can be taken to hold true in the campaign started that day. The Green and White of Bensonhurst tallied a total of 18 points, three times the score compared with the runner-up, Thomas Jefferson. New Half-Mile Record. In ringing up its winning team mark, Utrecht scored first places in the $50-yard relay for freshmen and the remaining three points resulted from place in the 1,200-yard novice. In triumphing in the half-mile four-man event, the Bensonhurst whined lowering the mark of the $36 made. New Utrecht team in 1927 to 1:34 35. The Green and White experienced much less difficulty in bagging the expected. Monroe and Jefferson conceded menacing contenders, never had a say in the matter and were well behind at the finish. Clinton was a surprise second in this event. The outstanding event on the card, the one-mile relay, went to Utrecht, but by a much narrower margin than White and White had a tough battle all the way and it wasn't until George Colocked and Morris Teltelbaum cut loose that Utrecht colors were in front. Mann Training, which held lead in several occasions during the race, finished second by five yards, closely pursued by Bishop Loughlin and James Monroe. Milte and a quarter medley relay jump developed into a corking fuse tussle between George Washington, Stuyvesant, Newark Prep and St. John's High, of Brooklyn, the race was conducted on a time basis with Washington having two seconds edge on the Flying Dutchmen of Stuyvesant, 4:51 6-10 to 4:53 6-20.

Thomas Jefferson's team helped considerably in its school's team score by running away with the 700-hole relay and the 1000-hole relay. The Orange and Blue hold the lead from start to finish and was never really extended. Fred Douglass, with a large delegation, carried home the trophy goal. The Orange and Blue held up the highest number of points. The Douglass lads tallied 15 points, with Cooper, Hamilton and Clark deadlocked for second with three markers apiece.

SUGGS K.O.'D BY TOÑY CANZONERI Saguero in Easy Victory Over Cakrough at the Olympia Tony Canzoneri, former world's featherweight champion, knocked out Chick Suggs, well known battler of Newport, R. I., in the sixth round of their scheduled ten-round bout at the Olympia A. C. in Harlem, last Saturday night. A left hook to the jaw sent Suggs on the flat of his back for the full count. Suggs was holding his own up to the termination of the bout. Tucking his chin into his chest he waded in to Canzoneri swimming both hands to the jaw and body. He became overconfident, however, in the sixth round and Canzoneri, showing the form he displayed when he was champion, stepped aside and measured him for the final blow. Rolampago Saguero, Cuban light-weight making his first local appearance in the 2012 World Cup, Dave Cakrough, who substituted for "Mule" Brown, Saguero dropped his rival for a count of nine in the fifth round and batted Cakrough all the way. Cakrough proved a tough opponent and managed to last the limit, although badly batten. Jose Diaz was awarded a second round in six rounds, and Jack Salino Jackle Black fought a six-round draw. Mario Acelleo outpointed him in four rounds and Jack Fola defended four minutes in the opening four-round. AMBER BATTERS T.

In his preliminary Stone cluded the wild swings of Frank Connolly, inwardly worn by his exertions. Stone laughed two blows to the heart that sent Connolly down for the full count in the second round.

Time: 1:43, 16:4 NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 12. 1928 EMANCIPATION COMMITTEE ROY ROGERS, Chalgrim 一 Post Season Comment Post Season Comment IN commenting upon the football season which has just closed at Howard University I can heartily praise the fine spirit of the entire squad. I am very much pleased with the record of the team, in fact, its accomplishments surpassed my expectations. Had Howard not lost the services of Dan Brown and Jack Young, two of the host plunging backs in colored football, I believe we would have won the national championship. Howard was unusually strong in that department of play in which colored teams are usually weak, namely, forward passing. Marshall is one of the finest forward passers I have ever seen on any team and through continued development should show improvement even over his performances of the past season. His accurate passing, nided and abutted by receivers of the type of Simpson, Coles, Sallie, Mack, Payne and Captain Ross, place Howard in a class by herself in this department of play. On defense, and especially on defense in forward pass, Howard was the equal of any of our opponents. Our great lack was in plunging ability, which weakness was occasioned by the injury of Dan Brown and Jack Young. Both of these men are of unusual backfield caliber and are undoubtedly two of the hardest plunging backs, in colored football. Though out of the game their spirit was nothing short of marvelous, and they had much to do with the team's success. Dan Brown's injury was especially regrettable to the coach, while Young and Hawkins expressed as their only regret the inability to help the team through the rest of the season. Next year, should all the material now in school be available, the coaches will have the nucleus of a winner. Howard's line, with the experience of the past season, should be superb. The backfield will be larger and faster, with a real punch. The coaches can confine their efforts to the fine points of the game and the polishing off of a flawless manner. As I look back over the season I cannot help but refer to the wonderful sportsmanship of the coach, Harry Jefferson, the team, and fans of Bluehawk. That game was the most pleasant and the hardest combat of Howard's season. Before entering the game the men solemnly determined that they would play until they had to be carried off, which was the case of Young and Hawkins. To have held the national champions to a scoreless tie in spite of our injuries was the greatest achievement of the entire season. May grateful acknowledgment to the splendid assistance offered me by Mary Allister, who worked in perfect harmony, being especially valuable in early season training. Although we did not win the national championship I received great satisfaction in having a team that made such splendid showing and in being connected with the sport I love. LEADING NEGRO TEAMS TO MEET LEADING NEGRO TEAMS TO MEET Collegians and Buffaloes in Big Clash at Renaissance Casino Tonight On Wednesday night, Dec. 12, at the Renaissance Casino, the Original New York Collegians, State amateur champions, and the Original Buffaloes, two of the leading teams of the East, will meet in what promises to be one of the most hectic encounters of the season. Interest in the game is at fever heat and recalls the days gone by when the St. Christopher, Alpha and Spartan clubs were battling for supremacy. The new trilimnivate of this era seems to be the New York Collegians, Christopher teams, and admirers of these quintets are all declaring their team the best. The Collegians, with a long and varied list of victories over some of the most successful district, are the present State champions and are proving themselves a hard team to beat. Every man is a good shot and the team whole is a fast and heavy scorer. The Buffaloes for the past few years have been knocking at theorship door, and can be reliably knocked out, the best passing team of their class. They also possess a galaxy of wonderful shots and have been lacking in the couple of years, essentials the past couple of years, and a defense on a par with their offense. That they lack in these department covers, we can take up what in their wonderful shootout, deadly shooting, and this is what the Collegians will have to watch out for on Wednesday night. The Collegians defeated the St. Christopher Red and Black machine in a close contest in which W. Carter, Henry and Silas starred; the Collegians will find these men on the other hand, the State champions, with such stars as, Capt. Romney, Joo Mills, Jack Livingston, Steele, John Holt, "Brick," Bobby Walker, and "Baddy Walker" in the lineup, in a mighty hard bunch for any team to beat and their record proves it. All which lead us to believe that it will be Wednesday night when both teams line up for the opening whistle. The Buffaloites point to their work in the Christopher game on the defense been strengthened in that department of play and that in Ambrose the crack pilot man who will hold his woe with Joe Mills of the Collegians. A large crowd should be in attendance, the game will surely lure out some of the best playing seen this season. The preliminary game will feature the "T" Cardinals, another good game, we feel sure. Three of the Carlton "T" representative teams came out victorious in their games on Saturday, Dec. 8. The ground team, playing at Prospect Park, defeating Prospect Park 22.4. The boys played a very good game and demonstrated team work and shooting that points toward concluding. Smith and Miller did execution. Smith and Guard, while Edward Williams was the star at forward.

Hard hitters will applause when Harry with ten-round bouts when Harry with ten-round middleweight of Harlem, faces Joey Knapp, former schoolboy star, and Steve Sireel of Yorkville meets Ralph Eckert of New York teen bouts since turning pro nine months ago, and fourteen of them ended in knockouts.

Gilbert Castillo is paired with Lou Farba in the six-rounder, while the four-rounder between Bobby McNeill and Jack Dallin is card up to forty rounds of boxing. Dundee has set the unusual task for himself in the ring. He will show interference for his brother, who is a professional background guarding his throne. Then if they get by Vince they would be entitled to take a fling at him. If they get by Growy they would be the contender but he is limited by the champion's "kid" brother. Vince has an impressive record for a youngster, and has scored vicious over many veterans in the junior overter and wetweight divisions.

The colored champions were never pressed and won as they pleased. Douglas sent in Ricks and Satch in his forwards, the versatile Steve Sueck and Jenkins and Mayers, his two backs and at defense. This quitter at once proceeded to do their usual stuff of preventing their opponents from get- ting into the game and succeeded so well that for fully of the opening frame the visitors were just as far from a floor basket as they were when they came on the court, even though they tried several long shots and efforts to break through proved futile. Before the end of the half, however, they dropped in two, together they were deadly and which gave points to the Renaissance's 26 as the half closed. In the second half the champions relished the added long enough to enable the visitors to score 8 floor goals, while they themselves were making 11, adding 23 points to their first half score, with their team accounting for 22 points. "Pappy" Ricks kept up his good work and secured 6 floor goals and won fouls for 15 points, being top scorer with 5 and one and Slocum with 4 and three were both tied with 11 points each as the next best scorers. floor goals and three fouls let his team, and Moskowitz with 2 floor graals and 6 fouls came just behind with ten points. The team was very good on fouls, getting 15 out of 19 tries. For the attraction on next Sunday night the Renaissance players are trying to get either the Philadelphiaants or the Paterson Whirlwinds.

Your Automobile By Robert G. Jones Questions concerning motor trips and routes will be cheerfully answered and a self-addressed and stamped envelope. Breaking in a New Car. It is often said that the first hundred years of a person's life are the hardest, and similarly the first 500 hundred miles in an automobile's life. Special care should not only be taken in the driving of the car, but extra attention should be given the bolts and nuts that hold the automobile as a unit. Every holt is tightly hung in the factory; yet one can never be too certain after the car has been driven for the first few times about their condition. The following points should receive your special attention: a gasket may become somewhat compressed and thereby loosen the crank case to the oil pan bolts. Consequently, it will be money in the pocket to go over the nuts on the engine and to the oil pan with a wrench and thoroughly tighten them up. At first it will be well to go over all the bolts in the frame and see that they are perfectly tight. If Yonkers, N. Y.

This may have been true in those days, but in the present era, with its new approach, it is necessary to have a common school education. Competition has made this necessary. Of course, he made this necessary. It is necessary to have this boy and his family preclude this the boy and his family will be necessary for him to learn the trade via apprenticeship. In his day to learn the machine trade, the first-class school or by the part-time system. This provides for the best amount of time each week spent in the trade school and in the actual shop. Many of the larger industries have part-time schools connected with their machine shops. Here the boys have their training in the theory, practice and wages at the same time. This is probably the best method of procedure. Among the best known schools are those maintained by Ford and General Motors. As we pointed out last week, the different machine trades are interrelated and in any one of them it is necessary to know the theory and practical work of the other departments. Let they are in the required condition after two or three inspections it is probable that they will never give any trouble. Spring pipes will loosen if the nut or bolt are loose.

Emma Ransom House Amsterdam News "D YOUR Christmas shopping early" is a general and helpful slogan for the pre-Christmas season. Most Women who are alert and industrious are eager to take advantage of seasonal opportunities offered by their local merchants; many others procrastinate and miss the choicest offers. At the beginning of the winter season many of the large department stores have unusual bargain sales of samples, models, "seconds," remnants, and "left-overers" taken from stocked for sale, interspersing them with the introductory sales of new goods. It is at this time that the most helpful planning and the ordinary shopping can be done, leaving only the fastidious need to just what the machinist does. This country is a great manufacturing nation, hence there is need for tools and machinery. All tools and machinery, both old and new, are made in a machine shop. The machinist makes the desired tools or appliances out of metal from a drawing furnished him by the details and measurements. He also takes rough metal castings and constructs the finished machine, then eduates to duplicate a piece or machinery too fine to be intrusted to a blacksmith. In his work he uses lathes, planers, milling machines, shapers, and other tools in one machine will no doubt use only one or two machines, but in a small shop he may be jack of all machines, assemble and repair tools, implements and machinery, including steam engines, electric motors, etc. From his hand passes the finished piece. The work in this trade might be slightly dangerous to the beginner, but it is a Clean profession which requires good hours and tenderness toward good citizenship by teaching co-operation.

Hall Johnson Negro Choir in Concert Two of the foremost musical organizations appearing before the public are the English Singers and the Hall Johnson Negro Choir. They are both proud titles, for the national bent in music has always been vocal and the men themselves and those who call themselves by such name must be prepared to justify such titles. The Spirituals of the Hall Johnson Choir and the Madrigals of the English Singers are the best propanda. They have only to be properly sung to be appreciated. But listen to the English Singers, who sit around a table more composed than King Arthur's knights and ladies and then to the twenty-one members who compose the Hall Johnson Negro Choir. These musicians may have had against Madrigals and Spirituals as being unvocal or harsh or crabbed will melt like mist before the summer sun. items to be purchased during the last venture. Because the Christmas spirit is highest a few days previous to Christmas Day, we find ourselves constrained to join the merry shopping mob, unmindful of the great disadvantages caused by this belated fancy. First, we suffer from the uncomfortable and slow transportation. Prices are raised to exorbitance; many extra clerks added to the force to help in the rush are inexperienced and uninformed about how we are forced to wait for attention, and in the pastime subjected to the impatience and courtesy of our fellow-customers. All of these hindrances affect the proper selection of gifts and other purchases. Musical audiences in New York are generous of applause, but not easily stirred to real enthusiasm. Hall Johnson, however, with his excellent choral arrangements, especially written for the choir, and his colleagues' unusual presentation of the unhackneyed Spirituals, such as they performed in recital at the new and resplendent John Golden Theorem, have been used us they can always exxta musical enthusiasm by what is to them the simple expedient of the singing of the Spiritual. New ideas in gift making are introduced each year, yet the old standard survives; novelties and news fads for the modernists; practical gifts for the olders and children. In this industrial period, energetic women find innumerable opportunities to train both their art and fine work, with department of the department stores and other institutions free of charge. In this way they can make most attractive gifts, as well as fancy household furnishings, inexpensively and effectively. Lamp shades, pillows, dolls, ribbon novelties, flowers, needle work, painting, weaving, basketery, molding, dyeing and many varieties of art work can be made more beautifully and originally than any that can be purchased. The woman, the artist, only units or unavoidably incumbered by family responsibilities is aroused Hall Johnson is to be greatly commended for his untrying efforts in the training and the banding together of such a representative group. Mr. Johnson, as his leader and conductor, has in the past succeeded in bringing smooth results in his conducting. He holds his group of singers at his finger tips ready to respond at a moment's notice. In Sunday's recital striking results in Mr. Johnson's conducting were commendable, easily discernible and well received. He interpreted of groups four and five on the program. Attention was especially called to the final curtain singing of "Deep River," with incidental solo by Charlotte Junius, whose performance aroused spiritual enthusiasm. Her singing was of great quality. She possesses a powerful control voice with good tone production. Christmas shopping need have no boo boo. If given the proper consider- ation, Special mention should be made of the excellent work done by Benjamin Ragsdale, baritone, in the encore, "Water Boy," Mr. Ragsdale showed intelligence in his interpretation and considerable understanding of the style and character of the song. Much variety and color were displayed, along with Mr. Ragsdale's gloriously vibrant lower register. "The Ambassador." Mrs. Alberta Ware and Mrs. Lottie Jacobi are taking the leading female parts. Urban Crook is confined to his home by illness. One cannot help but feel the pathos in Burleigh's "When I'm Gone," but in this number the treatment in color was limited. It may have been sung with more marked characterization, with tenderness and an underlying sweetness—not with any traces of a dramatic tinge. The Elks held their annual Memorial Services at the Shiloh Baptist Church last Sunday. Al Carter will give a song recital at the A. M. E. Zion Church on Friday evening. In continuing, the writer feels certain that the critics stand practically disarmed in the choir's presence. The renditions of the Hall Johnson Negro Choir, it is true, were not always strictly in accordance with artistic form, but to some degree songs do not. They possess themselves a peculiar power, a plaintive emotional beauty and other characteristics which seem entirely independent of artistic embellishments. These characteristics were of a most refreshing originality, naturalness and soulfulness, with voice and method fully developed by the singers for such a long period of their life, might, yet with a most pleasing sweetness of tone production.

Home to Clean House AT LAST ST. WILLIAM GRANT has been set free. Grant was the man who testified against the police last summer in the near-riot case in Harlem, accusing them of brutal treatment of Clarence Donald. As soon as he left the witness stand he was arrested on a charge of robbery. When he appeared in court again to answer this charge he was in a pititable condition, having been tortured, burned and beaten. After many delays he was placed on trial and acquitted last week. JUDGE DONNELLAN directed a verdict of "not guilty," and stated his belief that Grant had been "framed" by the police on account of his testimony against them in the near-riot case. IN THE TREATMENT of Grant the police have much to answer for. The first thing they have to learn is the duty of policemen. They have no more right than other citizens to hound and torture a witness who testifies against them in court. Indeed, they have less moral right; they are pledged to guard the public, and not to create a reign of terror which makes them immune from the consequences of their brutality. The police are expected to suppress the gangster, not to imitate him. Time to Clean House Time to Clean House --- WEEK The Amsterdam News assailed daily newspapers. The case of the Vestriini which the daily papers gave great praise of cowardice on the part of the Negrory and then practically ignored the refutes. ALL MORE VICIOUS EXAMPLE of days was observed a few days ago. A lead layed on the most prominent part of its fine: "Vestriini Inquiry Findings Blame Our story under this headline was found the judgment of Captain Jessop and But in all that story there was not for it or for it in fact; the two experts were incompetent and that an unled creed helpless. WE DOES THE MISCHIEF LIE? It is the average newspaper reader seldom looks than the headlines and he forms his opinions from them. He is often in too great error. The headline tells him that expert inquiry, have concluded that the crew was all: "They were right about those cowards." When a great paper, in its head of the following story refutes, it is high stress to clean house. Times Is Changed LAST WEEK The Amsterdam News assailed the ethics of the daily newspapers. The case of the Vestris disaster was cited, in which the daily papers gave great prominence to charges of cowardice on the part of the Negro members of the crew and then practically ignored the refutation of those charges. A STILL MORE VICIOUS EXAMPLE of daily newspaper ethics was observed a few days ago. A leading daily paper displayed on the most prominent part of its front page this headline: "Vestris Inquiry Findings Blame Carey and Crew." The story under this headline was four columns long, detailing the judgment of Captain Jessop and Captain McConkey. But in all that story there was not one word of blame for the crew; in fact, the two experts said that the officers were incompetent and that an unled crew would naturally be helpless. WHERE DOES THE MISCHIEF LIE? It lies in the fact that the average newspaper reader seldom looks at anything more than the headlines and he forms his impressions and opinions from them. He is often in too great hurry to read further. The headline tells him that experts, after careful inquiry, have concluded that the crew was to blame, and he muses: "They were right about those cowardly Negroes, after all." When a great paper, in its headline, tells a lie which the following story refutes, it is high time for the daily press to clean house. "Times Is Changed" "Times Is Changed" --- "ING.BEANS," a popular comedian some of our audiences into laughter by a series of general theme of which was "Times is on A FAR CRY from the comical Stringy Dr. W. E. B. DuBois; but today the same tune. Twenty years ago Dr. D. Washington seemed irreconcilable; they two opposite factions. It is not too much DuBois' name was anathema at Tuskegee, but the newspapers supporting Booker used to print Dr. DuBois' name, even more THINGS have happened since those days ago Dr. DuBois visited Tuskegee Institution. He went two days there, delivered and was tendered a banquet by the Society statute. We have indeed changed, and for the good DuBois' visit and his cordial reception at the coming unity of the Negroes in America factions of this race have a common aim. Some day Tuskegee unquet to Monroe Trotter. You never can African Spirituals "STRING.BEANS," a popular comedian some years ago, used to throw audiences into laughter by a series of anecdotes, the general theme of which was "Times is changed." IT IS A FAR CRY from the comical String Beans to the intellectual Dr. W. E. B. DuBois; but today they might well sing the same tune. Twenty years ago Dr. DuBois and Booker T. Washington seemed irreconcilable; they were the leaders of two opposite factions. It is not too much to say that Dr. DuBois' name was anathema at Tuskegee; and it is certain that the newspapers supporting Booker T. Washington refused to print Dr. DuBois' name, even in news articles. MANY THINGS have happened since those days. About two weeks ago Dr. DuBois visited Tuskegee Institute as an honored guest. He event two days there, delivered five addresses, and was tendered a banquet by the Sociology Club of the Institute. TIMES have indeed changed, and for the good of the race. Dr. DuBois' visit and his cordial reception are a good augury of the coming unity of the Negroes in America. All classes and factions of this race have a common destiny and they should have a common aim. Some day Tuskegee may tender a banquet to Monroe Trotter. You never can tell. African Spirituals SEVERAL YEARS white musical critics of Negro Spirituals—not at the songs themselves that they originated with the Negro.

Mr. has spent years in Africa tracing the soil of the American Negro Spiritual. He says he being, transplanted to another environment, same-means of musical expression to accommodate in his native land. The fervidity by Negroes has brought the Spirituals FOR SEVERAL YEARS white musical critics have been carpeting at Negro Spirituals—not at the songs themselves, but at the idea that they originated with the Negro. They have said that the Spirituals were founded upon old Methodist and other evangelical hymns; that the Negroes had seized upon these old tunes, and merely twisted them about. It never occurs to the critics that the Christian or American part of the Spirituals is only a superstructure built upon a purely African foundation. AN AFRICAN STUDENT of Spirituals, Mr. N. G. J. Ballanta, has spent years in Africa tracing the sources and history of the American Negro Spiritual. He says that the African, on being transplanted to another environment, preserved the same-means of musical expression to which he had been accustomed in his native land. The fervid adoption of Christianity by Negroes has brought the Spirituals to their present state of development, but they remain naturally and basically African. To Fight or Submit-Which? THE Negro forms the most distinctive group in the American body politic. He is separated by blood and status from the general life by which he is equipped. He is from the general life by which he is environed. He is a part of, and at the same time apart from, the dominant spirit and purpose. The lines of demarkation, it seems to me, are destined to become more definite and determined. All indications point in this direction; all remedial proposals are based on this hypothesis. THE MAN IN THE STREET Letters to the Editor to be published under this heading should be plainly written on one side of the paper only, and should not exceed 250 words in length. Your full name and address must be given, although this information does not necessarily have to be printed. The interracial conference, which meets in Washington Dec. 16-19, promises so much helpfulness by way of promoting a mutual understanding and good-will, seeks to shift the bar of separation from a horizontal to a vertical position. But the idea of separation is none the less the basic principle of procedure. Wisdom consists in discerning the line between the possible and the impossible. The wise man seeks to undergo what he cannot overcome. Race prejudice is a determined stubborn fact. If ever a man can choose whether it is innate or acquired, makes little practical difference so far as its present existence and operation are concerned. Race prejudice is as much a fact of observation and experience as Lake Michigan or the Alleghegy mountains. It is an easier task to remove the mountain or dry up the lake than to eradicate race prejudice. But just as scientific skill manages to operate despite mountain obstacles, he does the same proceed, if he proceeds at all, in spite of the stubborn obstacles which obstruct his path. Against the barriers of prejudice the Negro has little or no self-resistant power. His only effective weapon is the moral appeal to the white race to enforce the law which it has ordained. But the dardevil Anglo-Saxon spirit is prone to make the laws in fights and to lead the war in the division of the Supreme Court against the determined purpose of race prejudice is as impotent as the Pope's bull against the comet. Letters to the Editor to be should not exceed 250 wore NEAR-RIOT WITNESS Atty. John William Smith Congratu-lates The Amsterdam News on Fight. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. It is my duty on behalf of our race to thank The Amsterdam News and you for its courageous and outstanding battle of publicity in behalf of the rights of the colored people, whether they be publicists or amateurs. The writer refers to the acquittal of St. William Grant, a witness of the "near-riot" and who testified against the police and was, in turn, "framed" on a charge of robery. It has always been my idea that if people were entitled to rights, it made no difference to me as to who the people were or from whence they came, that they were still entitled to those rights; and that I was testifying for the rights of my people. Of course, The Amsterdam News is dear to me, for the reason that I originally incorporated this paper many years ago, and it is sec- Propose African Police for China Orientals Would Oppose Move to Halt "Communist Peril" SHANGHAI—The creation by the Municipal Council for international settlement of a special gendarmerie of African Negroes from the Sudan, Somaliand or Kenya Colony, with pay, and the conscription of foreign employees of business firms for service in volunteer corps, for the purpose of defending China against an alleged Communist peril, is advocated editorially by "The North China Daily News," the leading British newspaper here, in an article, entitled "The Defense of Shanghai." The agitation of "The Daily News" on this subject follows statements in London by Sir Laming Worthington Evans, War Secretary, that the British government could not keep troops in China indoilettable, limiting that foreigners here must provide their own defense. Chinese Resistance Seen Chinese reactions to this proposal have not been expressed, but an official of the Chinese government said to-day: "The proposal that the foreign extra-territorial areas in China import, organize and arm African Negroes under the pretense of defense against the alleged Communist peril is so astounded that one hardly gramps it, but that the Chinese would resist to the utmost is certain." THE BOSTON EDITOR - Kelly Miller - I would make the description conform to the fact. It is this inexorable fact of race prejudice which lies at the basis of the race problem. There are various other forms of prejudice which separate the American people into more or less distinctive groups. But none of them possesses the stubbornness or persistence of race antagonism, and the lack of pain, religious bigotry showed its hideous head by proclaiming the political ineligibility of the Catholic.

The Editor of The Amsterdam News. New York. U. S. A.: In your issue of the 17th of October last under heading "Africans Here Plan to Build House" with reference to the activities of the "Native African Union of America, Inc.," you stated that "the patrons included Fred W. Dove, managing director of Sierregold Trust Ltd., Gold Coast Colony, West Africa." Having my visit to New York, 1962-67, I interested myself in helping to found a society of native Africans residing in America under certain defined lines, specifically in the interest of such native Africans who were of good repute. From Information cleaned from Know New York State There are nearly 200,000 farms in New York State. Three-fourths of these are operated by their owners, of whom 55 per cent are white, native-born citizens. Coal was first used in New York State in 1808, 120 years ago. It was imported from Pennsylvania and was looked upon as a curiosity rather than as a fuel. There were 93 hunting accidents recorded in New York State between October 15 and November 20, 1925. Of these 32 were fatal, 30 by gunshot wounds. In 1927 there were 98 hunting accidents, with 25 fatalities. There are more telephones in the Empire State than in any foreign country. Their total, 2,700,000, is almost identical with the number of gas meters in service in the State. Empire State trust companies now have resources of six and one-half billion dollars, largest among all the States. Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and New Jersey follow in that order. In 1744 New York City had a population of 9,000 whites, and these owned 2,444 Negro slaves. The latter were valued at $250 each. Lake Champlain was discovered in 1609, the same year that Henry Hudson sailed up the Hudson River as far as the site of Troy, N. Y. Northern New York was first settled by the French, in 1749. There are more than 200 islands within the geographical confines of New York City. They range in size from good-sized rocks to Manhattan and Staten Islands. Of the total, 98 are named and inhabited. Washington county, N. Y. is one of the country's chief slate producing centers. Its quarries produce the colored slates used SPECIAL ARTICLES circumscriptions by virtue of racial and religious prejudices. The foreign born are separated from the native by definite marks of inequality. None of these separative animosities has the malignity and virulence of race prejudice. The schools in all countries in public country where his numbers be conspicuous and competitive. Crow cars are set apart for his accommodation in travel on common carriers. State constitutions are contrived to shut him out from the franchise. Laws are made forbidding him to marry with persons of the white race. By negleagh sanction, residential areas he might himself after the manner of Pharaoh in assigning the Israelites to the land of Goshen. Places of public amusement and accommodations exclude him from participating, thus barring him from the rights and privileges which inhere in citizenship. The caste line is established in industry. Thus "white" and "colored" have come to denote the deepest distinctions and to connote superiority and inferiority implications. These are some of the forms in which the spirit of race prejudice manifest itself. No specific or generic performance is the part of the Negro race will have against or provail over it. The more advanced the Negro becomes in the ways of progress, the more assertive and defiant he becomes. As the race advances in substance and respectability, it is correspondingly cast down from place of public honor and power. The public service is more hostile to Negro officials under Coolidge than under Grant. We exhaust all of our powers of protest, but in the end not a single evil against which we complain is materially altered. The Supreme Court negotiates the grandfather clauses, yet the Negro in Mississippi is denied his vote. Segregation is declared THE STREET could be plainly written on one address must be given, although to be printed. a West Indian paper published in New York, copies of which were sent to me, and from your recent publication, it is obvious that the composition and constitution of the present union are foreign to those of the society I consented to be a patron of. Consequently, I must be excused from any participation therein. Yours respectfully, (Signed) FREDERICK W. DOVE London, Eng. Nov. 30, 1928. SOCIETY Writer Asks If Harlem's Elite Has Been Contaminated by Ill-Gotten Gains. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir: I would like to ask you a question as to the head of your society column. Has Harlem's exclusive society been contaminated by menials, people of ill-gotten gains and those of immoral character? Now, as for some (not all) of the exclusive society of Harlem, if you looked for their moral character with a microscope you would for roofing, red being the most plentiful. More than six million gas and electric meters have been installed in the cities of the Empire State. About $0 per cent of these are in homes and the rest in work places. New York's first oper house had its gala opening 59 years ago, in November. 1833. The opera sung was Rossini's La Gazza Ladra. There are in New York State 1,100 active co-operative farmers' associations. These handle a yearly business of $113,000,000 in 45 different lines of agriculture. Only 1 in 45 are located in railroad station is in the Grand Central Terminal, New York City. It is also the only gallery devoted exclusively to the sale of works of living American artists. NOMINATIONS INVITED FOR SPINGARN MEDA Nominations for the 1929 award of the Spinning Medal, which is to be presented in Cleveland next June at the twentieth anniversary conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, are now being invited. All nominations should state clearly the achievement or career on the basis of which the nomination is made and should be accompanied by a brief biography of the no-ince. This matter should be sent to the chairman of the award committee. Bishop John Hurst, in care of the N. A. A. C. P., 69 Fifth avenue. WALTER WHITE WRITES STUDY ON LYNCHING An exhaustive study of Auerli product of 10 years' investigation unconstitutional, yet segregation goes forward by leaps and bounds. We combat specific instances of discrimination, but the trend moves forward with increased speed and multiplied momentum. What then shall we do? Shall we yield supinely in impotent walling and lamentation like Elisha under the juniper tree? Or shall we, with the defiant spirit of brigadecolo, shake the finger of defiance in the face of fate, and like Job's wild wife curse God and die? I declare an emphatic veto to both of these fattous proposals. Let us rather, like all prudent minority groups surrounded by a more powerful and populous element, make a just appraisal of the situation. Apply the scientific method of our social problem. Let us be not swayed to the left nor be frightened by fear of death. After cowering or braggadagge, the facts have been ascertained as far as our wisdom will enable us to go, then let us develop a defensive philosophy which will enable us to endure the present and to face the future. Dr. James E. Shepard of Durham, N.C. has issued a call for the second session of the Fact Finding Conference. Mere ascertainment of detailed facts about politics, economics, education and industry is but tickling the surmise of the fundamental cause. Let first get at the fundamental facts of race prejudice, of which politics, education and economic proscription are but indications. Next, let us develop or devise a sustaining philosophy to guide our way amidst the difficulties and vicissitudes which so easily beset us. The ax must be laid at the foot of the tree. It is but a waste of while to spend much further time in pruning away decadent limbs which spring from internal disease. de of the paper only, and this information does not not be able to find it, but as long as they think their actions are not known it is quite all right. I know a few eminent people of the Negro race who have been mentals and they are not ashamed of it. The majority of your doctors, lawyers, school teachers and real estate agents have been mentors and teachers who have worked in their occupations to help them. They all have my greatest admiration for doing so in order to reach their goal. But I suppose at the time they were waiters, bellmen, red caps, railroad porters and janitors they were not accepted in society—until they returned from college. I am not, a society person and have no wish to be one; but if I were I think I could keep up with the society without a strain or an instantment men at my hands and night looking for payments on one furniture, clothes and furs. Some will say that I have been rebuffed by society, but not so. Touring the country, here and abroad, is my hobby. Very truly yours, (Signed) ALNORA E. SMITH. 229 East Seventy-fifth Street. and study of race riots and mob murders, by Walter White, assistant secretary of the National Asso- cation for the Advancement of Colored People, is announced for March publication by Alfred A. Knopf, 730 Fifth avenue. Bringing Back Yesteryears One Year Ago The fourteen-story Colonial Apartment, at 409 Edgecombe Avenue, the largest single apartment building for Negroes in the world, became available. The Seventeenth Congress was pondering over the Dyer anti-lynching bill and a measure authorizing the Howard University appropriations. The Stock Taking and Fact Finding Conference was in session at Durham, N. C. with scores of leaders in attendance. Five Years Ago Miss Emma Washington, Pulman car maid on the Twentieth Century Limited, led rescuing forces when the train was wrecked at Forsyth, N. Y. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had secured 45,524 signatures to a petition asking the release of the Twenty-fourth U. S.

Cancer (Continued From Last Week) If 100,000 die of cancer yearly number who are living u are suffering from this disician and of being told you if this high death rate is to will neither cause nor cure an early discovery and treat purpose of health workers to cases which may affect us, in on guard. The more one kno point of health and disease, sought about some ailment months of unnecessary mental F 100,000 die of cancer yearly, then there are ten times that number who are living under the impression that they are suffering from this disease. Fear of seeing a physician and of being told you have cancer must be overcome if this high death rate is to be cut down. Although fear will neither cause nor cure cancer, it will certainly prevent an early discovery and treatment of the disease. It is the purpose of health workers to familiarize us with the diseases which may affect us, in order that we may be always on guard. The more one knows of oneself from the standpoint of health and disease, the more rapidly help will be sought about some ailment which ordinarily might cause months of unnecessary mental anguish. Any suspicious ulceration of the lip or tongue, lumps in the breast, chronic and persistent indigestion with loss of weight, bloody discharges from any part of the body, require medical observation, particularly in individuals over 40. Not every ulceration, lump or discharge causes the cancerous, but you are not sure of the nature of this, hence it is safer immediately to seek medical consultation. This will not only save a great deal of worry by knowing the true nature of your case but, if the condition be serious, it is taken in hand at a time when the most good can be done. The only hope in cancer lies in early diagnosis in which the disease more than in any other, help must be sought early. Another handicap in getting patients to seek proper attention early is due to the eagerness with which they fall, victims to the highly advertised patent medicines and quacks. The three recognized therapeutic agencies in the treatment of cancer are X-ray, radium and surgery. Each of these has its own specific indication. The patient for whom the treatment has been recommended should not lose hope, for this is not usually attempted, even in moderately advanced cases. BOOK MARY WHITE "RECENT GAINS IN AM Edited by Kirby Page. Pu Company, 383 Madison aven IN 1923 I received a sympos had appeared in the Nation It was a dreary volume, po humor. We can enjoyably la comes wearisome to take them BOOK CHAT by MARY WHITE OVINGTON "RECENT GAINS IN AMERICAN CIVILIZATION." Edited by Kirby Page. Published by Harcourt, Brace & Company, 383 Madison avenue. Price $3. In 1923 I received a symposium, made up of articles that had appeared in the Nation, called "These United States." It was a dreary volume, pessimistic and without touch of humor. We can enjoyably laugh at our faults, but it becomes wearisome to take them venomously. "Recent Gains in American Civilization" recalls this earlier symposium, but it deliberately points out our progress. Many of the writers are radicals and their admissions of gain are sometimes made reluctantly, so little are they used to showing America's virtues. But, on the whole, they have much to say that is cheering. The field is well covered. There are articles on government, business, Industry, peace, the arts, education, science, religion. Beard, Chase, Van Kleeck, Norman Thomas, Dewey, Fossillock are the authors of Charles S. Johnson is chosen to tell of "Recent Improvements in Race Relations." Mr. Johnson, in his article, quite properly gives half his space to our race relations with the immigrant, European and Asiatic. When he has discussed his position in America, he turns to the Negro, declaring his to be the outstanding race problem in this country, the challenge to those who would establish better race relations. Viewing the position of the Negro historically, Mr. Johnson shows that, as slavery became profitable, the status of the Negro became fixed. Great honor was done in revolutionary times to husbandged regiments, and one talented young divine preached for years to the whites in the State of North Carolina. When Andrew Jackson was inaugurated, Negroes were at the dinner. But, with the progress of slavery, with the conviction on the part of the Southern white that his black laborers must remain chattel or he would be ruined, the status of the Negro became fixed. It was fixed by statute and it was also fixed by a constant propaganda of inherent inferiority. Men must believe that the Negro is close to the beast or they could not tolerate the thought that he should be treated like cattle. Today, Mr. Johnson finds Negro progress, his improved status, comes from economic change. With economic change is a new viewpoint, a readiness to record Negro ability, to meet with the Negro at interracial committees, to accept the possibility of his advancement. The taboo on the Negro question is broken. The writer writes: "There was a time, not so long ago, even the most reasonable men recollected before the meaning of a race relation founded upon the highest principles of ethics and Christianity accepted by themselves. And, although, as numbers go, few have actually achieved a full adjustment to It, or perhaps will do so in many doc , then there are ten times that under the impression that they disease.

Everyone should have a physician in whom he or she has implicit confidence, for it is the family physician, after all, who holds the key to the situation. He will advise you where to go and what to do if your case is one which requires special care. The too popular custom of trying one doctor and then another on the recommendation of anybody serves no good purpose either to the patient or the doctor. This message is not intended to frighten folks into seeing their physicians, but it is a message of hopefulness, which might be summed up by saying: "Go early and spared from a painful cancer death, but we hear little of them, either because they do not know themselves or they entertain the dreadful secrecy which is entirely unnecessary. Foremost among the forces waging this battle is the American Society for the Control of Cancer. Everyone can do his or her bit by buying the stigma the society has against it. The Society is and by so doing show a true appreciation of the beautiful spirit of Christmas. CHAT by THE OVINGTON AMERICAN CIVILIZATION," published by Harcourt, Brace and Bue.

Among the other articles that attract by their brilliance of pretense is Charles Beards's "Recent Galus in Government." Beards is an historian and, however far from perfection we may be today, he knows that we have improved upon yesterday. He laughs at our worship of the statesmen of the past and shows that they could with great vigor migrate than that of Tappot Done, never even be indicted for their theft. John Dewey has much of importance to say on education, and Mary Van Kleeck describes, with some enthusiasm, the movement of the employer toward a more generous treatment of the man to whom he pays a wage. The book ends with an Oriental evaluation of our civilization, Masahara Anesaki of Tokio, attacking imperialism, gives this as his belief. Any civilization and progress will be valuable and worthy of human dignity so far as it contributes to a fuller realization of the unity of life."

Old memories creep Out from a door My heart seeks to keep. Some are so rosy. Some make me weep; Ah! Push the door to— And leave me in peace. The door opens On a rusty hinge; Don't pry it open— To see me cringe. The secrets inside You must let be; Because . . . only one other Shares them with me. Shut the door gently. Close it to stay; I'll—I'll promise to guard it— To keep intruders away. —R. W. VROMAN. A 107U 3 J
