Among the drastic changes in the Police Department effected by the new commissioner, Grover Whalen, none is more interesting to the patrolmen in general, and the Fourteenth and Sixteenth precincts in particular, than Commissioner Whalen's annihilation of Deputy Chief Inspector Lewis J. Valentine's "gun shoe, wire-tapping, spy" squad and the reduction of that officer to the rank of captain, assigning him to the Fifty-ninth precinct in Long Island. All first, second and third grade detectives attached to Valentine's sound have been reduced to uniformed patrolmen. Valentine's squad have been re Still more significant to the patrol- men of Harlem, especially the Negro patrolmen, is the elimination of Acting Captain Zeke Keller, Val- entine's field marshal and chief raiding officer, who was reduced to the rank of lieutenant and sent to desk duty in the Twenty-seventh precinct (Wakefield section), in the far upper end of the Bronx. Keller is the man responsible for the resignation of William Boyden, a first-grade detective attached to the Sixteenth precinct. Boyden, who was rated as an act- ing sergeant, was stripped of his shield by Keller the night of September 21 in an apartment at 201 West 143th street, where Boyden was present during a card game. When asked by Keller whether or not the apartment was run by Farelman Walton of the West 135th street station as a supposedly gambling place, and Boyden replied in the negative, the detective was re- duced to a uniformed patrolman and assigned to a precinct in Brooklyn. Boyden resented this alleged un- der treatment. He reported on sick leave and resigned about two weeks later. He swore that he would not go in uniform under those conditions. Boyden's Return Reported Boyden was appointed by former Police Commissioner Enright. As an officer who has resigned is privileged one year in which to make application for reinstatement, Boyden, it is reported, has applied for reinstatement and may return to his post soon. The chief duty of Keller seemed to have been that of spying on patrolmen and detectives. Two of Keller's scouts, Patrolman Sherman and Howard, are now out of plain clothes and pounding the pavements in uniform with the very men they once spied upon—in the Sixteenth precinct. Another swing of the official police axe resulted in the retirement of John D. Coughlin as deputy chief inspector in charge of the Homicide Bureau, which has been done away with. He was replaced by Inspector Edward P. Mulrooney, formerly in This Week's News Index Editorial ... Page 16 Special Articles ... Page 16 General, Local and National News ...

One of Mr. Hoover's biggest problems, Mr. Michelson believes, is going to be the proper social disposition of Congressman-elect Hoover from the First District in this city. James W. Rose, owner of Rose's Restaurant, 430 Lexington avenue, was buried at his home in Monrovia, Cal. on Friday. He died from stomach trouble last Tuesday at the age of 73, following an illness of three months. He had also been suffering with rheumatism, which influenced him to leave the East and go West to a more congenial climate, two years ago. Mr. Rose is survived by his widow, who lives at Monrovia, and his son Raymond D. who is now in charge of the restaurant here. The business, however, is managed by Walter J. Petry. Mr. Rose visited New York for three months last summer and returned to California in September. His health began to fall immediately. Very early in life Mr. Rose left his home in Illinois to find work to support his mother. He obtained employment on a Mississippi river steamboat. Afterward he went to live in Louisiana, where he was married. He next made his home in Hartford, Conn., and came to New York eighteen years ago. He entered the restaurant business and became successful, later opening up three places in addition to the one he started. In 1920 he opened the Rose Hotel, 245-80 West 133th street, where the police station is now located. --- Trouble THE AMSTERDAM NEWS WISHES YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR Cop Beats Fellow Officer by Mistake Jumps Into Affray With Blackjack — Prisoner A fellow policeman unwittingly helped to give Patrolman George Meyers a severe beating last Tuesday night in a fight at Broadway and Forty-seventh street, which enabled the prisoner whom Meyers had arrested to escape and caused the arrest of three other men. The policeman and those arrested were white. Meyers had arrested a man for disorderly conduct and was escorting him to the West Forty-seventh street station, to which he is attached. The prisoner yelled and three men came to his rescue and attacked Meyers, who was in plaid clothes. A crowd gathered. Patrolman Meyers was holding his own, against the three assailants when a uniformed patrolman whose name was not learned joined in the scrap. He saw four men wielding a blackjack, so he helped the other three men. Another policeman arrived on the scene who knew Meyers. By this time the original prisoner had escaped. They took the other three men along.

If there is an inaugural ball, President Hoover can scarcely "cut" De Priest, even though the latter's commitment mean that his wife and other members of his family would be there. If Mr. DePriest is invited and the Southern Congressmen who, were elected in the last election arrive and find themselves mingling socially with a Negro, what will happen then? Will Mr. Hoover prefer to lose the support of the Southerners or of the Negroes in Northern states where the Negro vote is the balance of power? One of the four receptions held at the White House is for Congressmen. Mr. Michelson says of them: "The receptions are always crowded. The line extends down the great staircase and through the corridors, and the people are packed as close as they can stand, advancing a foot at a time as the head of the line pays its respects to the President and his lady.

JEALOUS AMERICAN MUSICIANS STAGE GUN DUEL IN PARIS Four Persons Lay Wounded in Montmartre When Smoke of Battle Cleared Away — Dozen of Shots Fired PARIS, Dec. 24. A revolver duel between two jealous American jazz band artists disturbed the early morning revelry of Montmartre Saturday and when the smoke had cleared away four persons lay wounded in the street in full view of a dozen or more well-known night clubs. A large crowd of men and women, including a number of Americans who were homeward bound after visits to the night clubs, saw the fight. POLICEMAN ADMITS CLUBBING DRIVER NEAR CONNIE'S INN Two witnesses testified to the alleged brutality of Patrolman Charles Lehman, white, of the West 135th street station, upon William Wright, 35, an expressman, 583 East 138th street. Last Wednesday morning in Heights Court before Magistrate Earl Smith, who dismissed Wright on a charge of disorderly conduct. The most unfortunate of the innocent victims was an Australian dancer, Dolores Gibilas, 21, who was shot twice in the chest and was taken to a hospital in a critical condition. An American, whose name is given as Campton, was shot in the leg and also removed to a hospital, while a Frenchwoman of 60, on her way to work, was shot in the side. Sidney Bechet of New Orleans, one of the two men involved, came out of the duel with a minor head wound, while his opponent, Mike MacKendrick of Paducah, Ky., was unharmed.

The jazz band players described their quarrel as "purely artistic." MacKendrick plays the banjo and contended that he had the larger following. Bechet, a saxophone player, disputed this contention and, when words failed them, the men took to their pistols, treating Montmartre to what is called "a real American gun tight."

RDAM NEWS King Fails to Pay Taxes; Arrested Samoan Native Ruler to Spend Six Months in Prison LONDON, Dec. 19.—The King of Samoa, who knows little about mandates but regards $12.50 as a lot of money, has been arrested and carried off in captivity aboard a British ship, a dispatch from Suva, Fiji Islands, says. Tamasese, high chief and nominal king of the island, was taken away from Apia under lock and key aboard the steamship Totuna to serve six months' imprisonment in New Zealand, the dispatch said. The charge is obstructing the police. Tamasese, calm, courteous and dignified, refused to lower his royal status by getting excited or even discussing the case. Before leaving Samoa he advised all his people to keep the law. The natives deeply resented the indignity of their King being treated as a common criminal because of his refusal to pay a trifling matter of £2 10s taxes. When the steamer left Apia the natives were agitated but showed no sign of open hostility.—N. Y. Sun.

Bruce, assistant resident manager, what had occasioned the delay. All tenants were required to sign the leases before occupancy was permitted. "What is it to you?" Mrs. Bruce asked when the reporter explained his mission. She was told that The Amsterdam News wanted the information. Mrs. Bruce stated very emphatically, if not arrogantly, that the information the reporter desired was not the business of The Amsterdam News or any other publication, including the London papers. "We do not have to answer to anyone but Mr. Rockefeller," said Mrs. Bruce, referring to John D. Rockefeller Jr., who built the structures at a cost of $3,000,000. Brooklyn Woman Held for Homicide Police Claim She Stabbed Man's Wife to Death in Row Following her peremptory remarks Mrs. Bruce elaborated upon the multiplicity of her duties as assistant resident manager, explaining also that, in serving the tenants, she has become a bureau of general information. One of her hardest tasks, she said, was that of preparing the 1,978 leases for the tenants, thus saving the expenses of an "expert." "Every additional expense." Mrs. Bruce explained, "is added to the tenants' yearly bill. I have prepared (Continued on Page 2.) Economizing? Continued on Page 2.

He was arraigned in Heights Court Friday before Magistrate Weil, who held him in $100,000 bail for a further hearing Monday, at which time the case was continued until Friday at the request of his counsel. Brooklyn Woman Held for Homicide Police Claim She Stabbed Man's Wife to Death in Row Theresa Glover, 23, of 1 St. Felix street, Brooklyn, according to the police, want to call on Macdonald Mabray, an automobile washer at the Rockwell garage, 19 Rockwell place, last Tuesday, and instead of meeting Mabray she met his wife, Viola, 23, 1734 Fulton street. Mrs. Mabray wanted to know why Theresa was calling to see her mate. This caused a row and during the fight it is alleged that the Glover woman stabbed Mrs. Mabray to death with a small knife. She was arrested and charged with homicide. Laurie Brown, a young woman who also resides at the St. Felix street address, according to the police, was held as a material witness. Natchitoches, La., Dec. 24.—Moreco Joyce, a white man, was acquitted in the district court on a charge of stealing a hog from Harrison Conley, after the jury had deliberated half an hour. The trial lasted all day and attracted considerable attention, but the result was as expected. in Row Magistrate Well expressed firm disbelief in the story that was told the court Oct. 1 by Bernstein's wife, who said that while she and her husband were on their way to the hearing four men who said they were "from Headquarters" leaped from an automobile with guns, put Bernstein in the car and whisked him away. "He had himself kidnapped," said the magistrate. Five other men involved in the kidnapping were dismissed on Sept. 26 and Oct. 1, respectively. Bernstein was represented by Attorney James D. C. Murray, white, 1117 West Tenth street, who, upon his rights as defense counsel, would not permit Magistrate Well to question Bernstein before he is put on the witness stand. Doubt Brings High Bail After Magistrate Well had asked Bernstein several questions regarding his alleged kidnapping and Attorney Murray objected, he said, "My purpose in asking him those questions is to determine if his story is true, in which case I will continue ball at $10,000. If it is untrue I will set ball at $100,000, which I am going to do as I don't believe his story. I'm going to protect his rights by putting him in jail where I know he cannot be kidnapped." "That is very kind of you," replied Bernstein's lawyer sarcastically. The defendant was in the custody of Detective Lieutenant Shields and Detective Sergeant Battle of the West 135th street station, to whom Bernstein gave himself up, accompanied by his attorney. He was immediately taken before District Attorney Banton for questioning. What the questioning revealed is not known. In court, however, Bernstein stated that he did not know where his supposed captors had taken and detained him. On the day of his disappearance The Amsterdam News learned from what it considered good authority that Bernstein had not been actually kidnapped but was resting somewhere up in the mountains. Soon after he left the city, his wife, who had expressed the "fear" that he might have been killed, also disappeared and the police were unable to locate her. Review of Kidnapping Holstein was kidnapped the night of Sept. 20 from the hallway of 225 West 140th street, where he had gone to visit Mrs. Gomez Whitfield, a close friend. Five armed white men, Holstein said, placed him in an aisle with two white women and drove him to their hideout somewhere in the Bronx or in Williamsbridge, where he was blindfolded all during his detention of 72 hours. He was also beaten, it is said. The gangsters demanded a ransom of $200 for Holstein's return. A squad of forty detectives were never able to locate the hideout. Led by Acting Captain Hymnes of the West 123rd street station and Detective Sergeant Battle, police arrested Peter Dunnick. 27, 1297 Hard. (Continued on Page 2.) U. S. MUST FACE DISFRANCHISEMENT Democracy Impossible so Long as Negro Is Denied Vote, Says Du Bois Democracy Impossible so Long as Negro Is Denied Vote, Says Du Bois of Races Cited WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—Democracy is going to be impossible in America until the country faces the problem of Negro dischairment in the South, declared Dr. W. E. D. Du Bois of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, speaking Thursday before the National Interracial Conference in the auditorium of the Department of the Interior Building. "Of all the questions which come before the National Interracial Conference, that of political power on the part of Negro American citizens occupies, to my mind, the key position," said Dr. Du Bois. "There was a time when a study of health and population was necessary in order to prove that the Negro race in America was not dying out or was not of a peculiar and unusual physique. Between the years 1850 and 1920 the right of the American Negro to modern education had to be established upon a scientific basis." the Negroes are to be organized." John P. Frey of the Federation said in an address before the conference. The Federation had been charged with not having been sufficiently active in organization work among Negroes. Four or five years ago a convention of Negro editors adopted a resolution urging Negroes not to join labor unions. Frey said. Community playgrounds operated under proper supervision are a most effective means of eliminating juvenile delinquency, the conference said. Dr. Smith Wallace of "The present problems of Negro occupation, housing and recreation all depend upon political power and not, as many seem to assume, upon philanthropy. In the same way, we are going to abolish mobs and lynchings and have a more equitable administration of law and justice, clearer citizenship rights and more normal race relations only if we can establish in the United States a democracy upon the fundamental truth that every group of those governed should have a voice in its own government. "For twenty-five years this nation, and even the friends of the Negro, have decided that the question of the Negro vote should not be touched upon nor investigated. We do not, therefore, know far far Negroes vote today, only in a very general war. "We need, first of all, thoroughgoing investigation of the facts, and before and after this we need to make our minds and consciences clear: a distranchised working class in modern industrial civilization is worse than helpless. It is a menace, not simply to itself, but to every group in the community. It will suffer in health. it will be compelled to be ignorant, it will work on the lowest industrial plane. it will live in poverty. it will be the plaything of indulgence insulted by caste restrictions. "No amount of good-will on the part of philanthropists, or on the part of the ordinary citizen, will change these facts. "How the working class is going to use its political power to better and maintain its economic position may still be a grave problem, but there is no problem in the certainty that without political power no modern working group can escape slavery." "But that is not all. A disfranchised group compels the disfranchisement of other groups. Today in the South politicians have every incentive to cut down the number of voters, black and white. The smaller the number of voters, the greater is the political power of the cliques which today dominate the South, and their consequent influence on the political life of the whole United States makes a normal third party movement impossible. "The interest therefore of the dominant economic classes are bound up with political disfranchisement in the South. And until honest and clear-thinking Americans frankly and uninfluenchly face this problem, measure disfranchisement and stop it by thoroughgoing means. Democracy is going to be impossible in America and oligarchy of wealth and economic power is going to dominate the United States, mislead the white world and seek to enslave the darker races." No Race Independent The rising tide of economic activity throughout the world is showing that no race is economically self-sufficient, declared Professor Herbert Adolphus Miller of Ohio State University, speaking Wednesday afternoon before the conference. "Racial competition is exactly like national competition." declared Professor Miller. "Economic interdependence in both cases is real and increasing, but in the case of nations there is a patriotic deasion of self-sufficiency. "We can only wait until the economic organization makes itself obvious that exaggerated nationalism will become absurd." In the same way, races that try to be exclusive are both the producers and the consumers of each other's goods. The competition of laborers, however, seems immediate and threatening. However, with a rising tide of economic activity, no face is self-sufficient, and the organization of interracial labor will be just as easily demonstrated and just as necessary as is international banking. The next step is the formulation of programs both for creating an awareness of how far things have already been and the promotion both through conference and public works for working out horizontal relationships just as is being done in international affairs. This is in part the job of labor unions and in part the job of chambers of commerce, with new economic and political theory following to lay down the principles. Views of the American Federation of Labor on the organization of labor unions among Negroes was taken in Tuesday. Labor unionists are more willing to organize the Negroes than TWO the Negroes are to be organized." John P. Fry of the Federation said in an address before the conference. The Federation had been charged with not having been sufficiently active in organization work among Negroes. "Four or five years ago a convention of Negro editors adopted a resolution urging Negroes to join labor unions." Fry said. Community playgrounds operated under proper supervision are a most effective means of eliminating juvenile delinquency, the conference was told by Roy Smith Wallace of the Playground and Recreation Association of America. Man and His Wife Die From Burns Police Dog Gives Alarm at St. Nicholas Avenue Fire—One Rescued James Towners and his wife, Margaret, both 23, were burned to death when they were trapped in their top floor apartment at 352 St. Nicholas avenue, near 125th street, and seven-year-old Erb Erb, same address in Harlem Hospital suffering with severe burns she received when the brushing was gutted by fire early last Wednesday morning. Nearly 50 persons in the building and nearby apartments were driven into the cold street scantily clad. The thrilling rescue of Mrs. Dickerson, who was appaled to by the fire structure and carried unhurt down an carrial Indier by Lour, Carey and Fireman Marousse of Truck 49, was a spectacular feature of the blaze. The lives of many were probably saved by the barking of Prince. a police dog owned by Andrew Ruffin. a tenant on the first door. Prince awakened Ruffin by pulling the covers off the bed. Ruffin shouted an alarm out the window, summoning Patrolmen Fox and Rosenstein of the West 122nd street station. Assisted by Patrolmen Greisner of the same station, the two officers dashed into the burning building and pounded on the doors to awaken tenants. Then they repeated their alarm in the adjoining buildings. Occupants of the houses fled down fire escapes and over roofs. The fire, which was of unknown origin, started in the basement, crept swiftly up the dumbwaiter shaft and was raging on the top floors when the firemen arrived. The adjoining building, 334, caught fire also, but only slight damage was done. The three top floors at 332 were completely burnt out. A pathetic aftermath of the fire was the efforts of the tenants to salvage from the ruins what little remained of their personal property. Shelters Fire Victims Damage also came to 210 West 120th street, one of the buildings in the fire area, from which tenants were driven in sleeping garments and barefooted into the street. About thirty or thirty-five of those unfortunate persons were given shelter in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Lee, across the street at 211. This number included six or seven children. The fire victims were crowded into the Lees' seven rooms and into the hallway. The heat in the house was turned on and hot drinks provided. Clothing and shoes were gouten for many of them, and afterward the social workers of St. Mark's M. E. Church assisted in providing those with disabilities those who expressed their gratitude for the kindness of the Lees were Mrs. Fannie Wilson and her husband, who still make their home there.

This year I am reporting to Mr. Boothier that we have a snipup. This snipup was spoken with much pride. Mrs. Bruce revealed that, since the opening of the Dunbar Garden Apartments, sorry tenants have given up their residence there. Many others have moved to other apartments in the buildings, which cover an entire city block. These changes, she said, helped to delay her work in managing the leases. Considering the many times she had to do together with preparing the leases, she has a pretty good showing. Mrs. Bruce interested. She did not state how long it would have taken an outsider to prepare the leases.

When the tenants first began to move into the Dunbar Garden Apartments, about one year ago, they were told that their leases would be mailed to them shortly, but up to Saturday they had not been mailed. Mrs. Bruce said that the leases are nearly all ready and that the tenants may call for them at the office. Ordinarily, leases are placed in the hands of tenants before or soon after possession is taken. Several tenant-owners pointed out that, while they had attached their signature to a binding legal document, the management had retained both the original and duplicate copies, thus jeopardizing their interests should a controversy arise over the provisions of the supposedly mutual agreement.

The officer maintained that Wright was intoxicated, which the man denied. It appears that Wright simply did not move fast enough, so Lehman clubbed him as he bent over to pick up the reins, dragged him off the wagon, put him in a taxi cab and took him to the police station. There he charged Wright with using abusive language and resisting arrest. Julian followed and entered a protest to the desk lieutenant, which caused Lehman to enter into an argument with him, it is said. An ambulance surgeon was summoned from Harlem Hospital and on each visit was taken in Wright's scalp wound. Lehman admitted striking the man. He declared that Wright was driving the wagon past Counie's inn while fast asleep. Witnesses said this was a lie and that Wright's team was parked in front of the night club, much to the annoyance of the doorman, who went away and summoned Lehman to have him removed. When the case was first heard on the day of the incident Magistrate Gottlieb paroled Wright in Julian's custody for a further hearing Wednesday. The defense attorney was Louis A. Lavelle, 206 West 138th street. The expressman is a quiet, little bit of a yellow and has his express stand on Lenox avenue near 135th street. At his home in the Bronx he is superintendent of the building. At Wednesday's hearing one of Connie's inm doormen and a white chauffeur gave conflicting and apparently unfounded testimony in the officer's behalf. Others who gave their names as witnesses of the incident were Eugene Holiday, 215 West 15th street; Joseph Burke and George Washington, a bass singer in the Broadway production. "The Show Boat." According to Julian, Attorney Lavelle was the only lawyer who, out of several of those approached, would accept the case free of charge, in view of the defendant's penury. Julian told The Amsterdam News on Thursday that he is framing a complaint against Lehman to be sent to Police Headquarters.

C., last year, R. S. Grossley, president of the Delaware College for Negroes, pointed out the hindrances to standardization of Negro schools. President Grossley, who has done much research work in this particular field, due to the fact that this is one of the foremost problems discussed at the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, of which he is a moving force, cited as some of the hindrances the lack of funds appropriated for Negro schools in Southern states, inadequate salaries paid teachers, the paucity of adequate physical plants, and short school terms in many of the states. Epitomizing his findings, President Grossley declared: Preacher Given Workhouse Term "Policy" Charge Draws Three Months for Painter-Preacher Francis Kingharman, 37, 59 West "One cannot scan the official reports on public education without noting a disparity of interest and support for the education of Negro pupils that is not only unfortunate but unwarranted and unjust. "In spite of this prevailing condition, there is a hopeful sign. The mosewald Schools that dot the hills and plains throughout the South, the tenement assistance of the Jeanes Fund, the generous philanthropy of Pierre S. Du Pont, the General Education Board are chief among the agencies that come to our aid. "Today some of the states themselves are leading the way toward higher standards for Negro education. The rising tide of students in all sections and grades is compelling attention and support both locally and nationally." "Whatever may be the final results of our questioning and sifting and whatever may be determined as the ultimate objective of our schools, I am persuaded that if there is to be a sustained and progressive educational program and policy, it must be to all alike the means to higher American ideals; a responsibility to culture and responsibility, individuals and as a nation, economically, politically, intellectually and spiritually. And it is the hope that when the Fact-Finding Conference convenes in April that education will come in for its share of discussion." 145th street, was also taken into custody by Detective Webber of the West 135th street station, and accused of being "tifter" to the gang. All were held without bail. Unable to locate Holstein, the police released Bernstein under $3,000 bail with "instructions" to free the Harlem clubman. Not long after midnight Sunday, Sept. 21, Holstein turned up alone at the West 135th street station. The gang had released him somewhere in Williamsbridge after giving him $2 for taxi fare, he said. Bernstein's ball was then increased to $10,000. Holstein is reported to have paid perhaps $30,000 for his own release from the gangsters. Four Freed; One Escapes When Holstein faced all the prisoners in Heights Court he failed to identify any of them and all were freed. Bernstein disappeared before the second hearing. Brown, who at that time was manager of the defunct Alhambra Ballroom, 128th street and Seventh avenue, vigorously denied any part in the kidnapping plot, although he admitted having been a partner with Bernstein in the business of murder. When the partnership was dissolved he said Bernstein asked him to suggest another partner. This conversation, he said, led to his being implicated in the kidnapping plot. Preacher Given Workhouse Term "Policy" Charge Draws Three Months for Painter-Preacher Francis Kingharman, 37, 59 West 135th street, who describes himself as a painting contractor and an ordained minister, was convicted of possession of policy slips Friday in Special Sessions and sentenced to three months in the Workhouse. The minister was arrested in his apartment by Policewoman Nettie sweetman of the Eighteenth division. He admitted possession of the slips, but declared that he did not know how they were placed in his pocket. With Justices Drenzo, Murphy and McNerney on the bench, the convicted man announced himself ready for sentence at once. Justice McNerney asked the policewoman if she believed Kinghamman to be a collector. Upon her reply in the negative he sentenced the man to three months. A reporter called at his address and learned that the minister lives there with his wife. Mrs. Kinghamman was not reached and no information was secured concerning his ministerial activities. John Spanner, 27, 365 West 11th street, was the only other policy player to receive a fall term. He withdrew the match. Spanner, who is superintendent of the apartments at the 11th street address, was charged by Officer James King of the Fifth division with hiding thirty-seven slips in the basement floor. His counsel, Moses A. Sachs, white, 520 Broadway, attempted to free Spanner by declaring the officer could not specify the particular lottery or "banker" designated by the elf.

In his home town the Congressman-elect does not go in for social affairs to any great extent. His life is filled up with politics and his business, and Mrs. DePriest does very little entertaining.

While Keller was active, one of his men was assigned to "get something on him." it is reported, in order to prevent his promotion. Speculation is rife as to whether or not Chisholm will be placed on the street in a sergeant's uniform if and when he is promoted to that rank. If so, he will become the first Negro uniformed police sergeant on the police force of New York City.

The case was adjourned for one week, pending settlement. It was revealed that these clients had purchased jointly $205 worth of shares in the American Telegraph Company from George one year ago, but had not received their certificates. It was also disclosed, however, that, with Hedley's consent, Miss Thomas desired to have all of the stock transferred to her. This George refused to do unless Hedley signed a waiver, and during the hearing Magistrate W尔 ordered Hedley to sign it, transferring his rights in the stock to Miss Thomas. Hedley said he had refused the waiver because he had heard disquieting rumors about the stock. The waiver signed, George was then ordered to deliver the cordite. RELIABLE DR Dr. I. S Dr. H.

Writing in the January Plain Talk under the title "The Negro Deserts His People," Professor Davis asserts that "the aims of this class are to exploit and drain the masses for all they are worth, to draw apart from them physically and socially, to build a light-skinned world of its own and to ape the white world in luxury and amusement." Forgotten only of "the mass of lawyers, doctors, school teachers, real estate sharppers, business men and society women whose contribution is limited to fur coats, Packards, armchair solutions of the race problem, football classics and fraternity dances. I am saying that in just half a century they have forgotten the tragedy of the Negro in the South and that the ideals they have set up for Negro youth are the most pernicious influence in our life today. "Let us analyze this upper class in some detail," he continues. "Our school and college administrators and our fraternal heads are the chief offenders in the South. Negro college presidents, with a few notable exceptions, would be jokes if they were not exerting so harmful an influence upon our younger generation. One class of such presidents run colleges as a good business proposition to fill the members' own pockets. They are perpetrating an intellectual crime upon eager Negro students. The second group are the heads of land-grant "colleges." They are, almost without exception, immoranuses or clever politicians who take their instructions from the white state officials. One of the great, tragic frontes of Negro life is the spectacle of a hopeful and energetic youth in the hands of these 'educators.' Of the fraternal there is no need to speak. They are the great shell-game of the South as stupendous a money-making hoax as the Klan. "For our doctors, medicine is the surest route to money and social position. Our young physicians get their start by prescribing dope and nostrums for the plum. Negroes, taking their money with no serious efforts to help them. The free clinics and wards of our hospitals are butcher shops, where frankly cynical young doctors nurse their confempt for the poor and diseased blacks. Not even the assurance of financial success can lure our physicians from the large cities to the service of the millions of Negroes in the South who are without hospital or medical service. In the most progressive Southern State, North Carolina, 84 per cent of Negro children are today delivered by midwives. "The slogan of the average Negro lawyer is, 'Get all they have.' He lives on the ignorance of the common Negro, frightening him by the bugaboo of the law into paying out his last cent. The largest share of his spolls comes from the settlement of estates. Since Negroes, especially of the poor and rural classes, are likely to make no wills, fear of the Negro lawyer as an executor is proverbial throughout the South. "The Negro real estate operator, in connivance with his white employer, has succeeded in making Negroes pay the highest prices for the least desirable property, thereby forcing their living wage still further down. He is the most unabashed of all those who exploit the Negro. He has done nothing to improve the Negro's credit and everything to betray him to the white sharper. In the rural districts he is frankly a buccaneer and, in the popular fancy, an orge. It is added proof of the perseverance of the Negro that he has obtained a home in spite of his real estate agent. "The Nexxo" concluded Professor Davis, "has been a race damned in its leaders since the days when the overseer demoralized any group loyalty by giving his favor to the treacherous." Coat Left on Roof Leads to Man's Arrest An overcrowd found on the roof of 256 West 129th street, which contained a letter giving his name and address, led to the arrest of Robert Jenkins, 20, laborer, 216 West 1350 street, on a charge of having burglared the home of Malcolm Waldron, 256 West 129th street. Waldron's apartment was robbed of $53 in cash and clothing and wearing apparel valued at $100. Entrance was gained by forcing open a fire escape window.

J. a superstitious prescription for rheumatism which caused the allure to increase, with the result that Norwood had him arrested and sent to jail for sixty days on a charge of disorderly conduct, Saturday." Norwood said that Swinton first gave him a "mighty charm" which helped his malady somewhat. He reluctantly gave the "charm" to Police Judge James F. Brown, of Elizabeth, with a warning of its potency. It proved to be nothing but coal dust. However, the rheumatic patient went on with his story. He related that Swinton wrote him out a prescription calling for a yard of cheese cloth, a gallon of apple vinegar and a five-cent bag of salt. Soak the cheese cloth in the salt and apple vinegar, wrap it around the rheumatic leg and stand in the east corner of the house all night long, the directions read. Then at dawn go out in the back yard and bury the leg up to the hip in the ground, said the instructions. Norwood said he obeyed the instructions to the very letter. The rheumatism doubled and nearly twisted him off his feet. He was taken to his bed, where he called the police and gave them a description of "Dr. Black Herman," who is in the jailhouse now. Norwood is today the poorer, this being the "doctor's" fee. Motion Granted for Butler's Extradition Billups Seeks to Stay Action in Teacher Murder Case Case Motion by District Attorney Banton to turn James Butler, 200 West 145th street, over to Georgia extradition authority on charges of murder was granted Friday in Part I of General Sessions. Pope B. Billips, 206 Broadway, who has been retained as counsel for the prisoner, immediately began laying plans to block Butler's removal from the Tombs to Griffin, Ga. Although the attorney declined to state his procedure, he stated that he could again halt extradition as he had done four previous times for his client. It was expected that he would seek release of Butler on a writ of habeas corpus. The motion Friday was but one round of a series of legal skirmishes going on here since September. Butler is accused of being one George Brown, husband of Mrs. Estelle Phillips Brunson, school teacher and social worker, who was beaten and strangled to death on her spouse in 1916. Mrs. Bessie Jones, a cousin of the dead woman, and her mother, Mrs. Lorenzo Johnson, 36 West 129th street, and a daughter, Mrs. Ella Phillips of Georgia, claim to have identified Butler. Their statements are refuted by the incarcerated man who contends that he has never lived in the South and came to New York from Boston. A member of Monarch Lodge, I. B. P. O. Elks, Butler's fraternity has interested itself in his case. Attorney Billips took the case when the man was on the eve of extradition and was granted a hearing on an appeal November 23 in Supreme Court before Justice Ingram. STENOGRAPHER FREED OF GRAND LARCENY Alice Taylor Harris, 27, 273 West 10th street, was dismissed on a charge of grand larceny Monday in Heights Court by Magistrate Earl Smith who said, "After observing the demeanor of the defendant I find her not guilty."

The sentence was imposed for larceny of $65, realized by reselling old tickets at the box office of the Lincoln Theatre, 5S West 135th street, last year. Mrs. Maria C. Downs, white, treasurer of the theatre company, was the complainant in the case in which Raymond Snyder, white manager, and Flossie Burney, ticket taker, were acquitted last March. The age limit for prisoners at the reformatory is thirty years, and Mrs. Sequira may be confined there for two years. She was defended by Ferdinand Q. Morton, civil service commissioner. Alleged Auto Thieves With Guns Captured Accused of larceny, Theodore Wright, 23, and William Brathwaite, 25, 52 West 125th street, were held in $25,500 ball each for the Grand Jury on a charge of stealing a $600 Hudson automobile from Nellison Stafford, 35, 409 Edgecombe avenue, when arraigned in Heights Court Thursday before Magistrate Weil. The car was taken from in front of 111 West 135th street on December 15 and later found in the possession of Wright and Brathwaite at 125th street and Amsterdam avenue by Patrolman Kennedy of Traffic C, who stopped them for questioning when they drove past a stop light. Upon searching the men, both had guns in their overcoat pockets, the officer said. Accordingly, they were held in $1,000 ball for Special Sessions for violation of the Sullivan law. Brathwaite gave a second address at 149 West 140th street. Three U. S. Sailors Cause Subway Fight While riding peacefully in an L.R.T. subway train train, bound for East New York, two men were set upon and beaten by three white L.S. sailors from ships anchored at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. When the train arrived at the Nostrand avenue and Eastern parkway station the three sailors were placed under arrest, and the two men taken to the hospital. Benjamin Reid, 33, 240 Lexington avenue, Brooklyn, is in a critical condition in the Kings County Hospital, and Cleveland Greenside, 20, 322 Thatford avenue, Brooklyn, was treated by a physician and taken to his home. According to the police the sailors began acting in a disorderly manner when the train left the Chambers street station in Manhattan. BROTHERHOOD SEEKS MEMBERSHIP OF 10.000 Despite the fact that the Brotherhood of Sleeeping Car Porters qualified to represent the Pullman porters and malds, in 1925, by having enrolled a majority of the porters and malds in the Pullman service as members, and according to the provisions of the Railway Labor Act entitled to present the case of the porters to any Government body, the Union plans to initiate a nation-wide membership campaign to reach the mark of ten thousand in 1929, says A. Phillip Randolph, general organizer. This will represent practically 95 per cent of the porters and malds in the service. Convict Youth on Revolver Charge After Trial Lasting Entire Week Bronx Musician May Receive Long Sentence—Acquitted of Holding Up Harlem Speakeasy With Seven days' questioning and cross-questioning, during which the race question flared repeatedly, ended Friday for Albert Cook. 25. 496 East 162d street, when he was convicted before Judge Mancuso in General Sessions on charges of carrying a revolver. Cook was acquitted of holding up a Harlem speakeasy in the same court Wednesday. The youthful musician, who only last year was released from the reformatory at Elmira, faces a sentence up to fourteen years. Sentence will be imposed January 8. Cook was arrested October 2 by Detective Brown of the Sixteenth precinct after a "up" by a mysterious informer, known only as Jerry, started him on a taxicab ride down Seventh avenue to 133d street where the gun carrying youth was taken. Later that day charges of armed robbery were preferred by Samuel Campbell. 155 West 130th street, who said that Cook, accompanied by two white youths, robbed the place of $125 September 11. Dope Found at Strange Party "Gloria Swanson" and Three Other Men Taken in Raid Officers of the Narcotic Squad Campbell took the stand and admitted, under questioning, that the place reported held up is a speakeasy and that drinks were sold there freely. The three bandits were served before one shoved a 45-call revolver into his ribs while his two white associates cleared the cash register. When witnesses were called for the defense the prisoner's mother, Mrs. Mary Cook, who is white and blonde, testified that her son had been at home at a party when the alleged robbery was committed. Assistant District Attorney repeatedly flared the fact that Cook was an intimate associate of white boys and lived in a white neighborhood. The accused youth's assertion that he never held a regular job, but made his living by singing and playing the piano and ukulele, also brought him under fire. Tired of the proceedings, and apparently embarrassed because of the reference to recital intermingling. Cook requested that no spectators be allowed in court Thursday afternoon. It was granted. Cook was defended by S. Martin Adelman, white, 261 Broadway, who won acquittal on the first charge for his client by clinging the party alibi and attacking Campbell's evidence because he admitted selling whisky and having a slot machine illegally. Cook took an active part in his defense and repeatedly took notes and conferred with his counsel. His mother was not present when the verdict was given on the second charge.

Edgecombe 6256 Corner 143rd St. Officers of the Narcotic Squad broke up a "snow party" being held, they said, by a number of men in an apartment at 147 West 145th street, where they arrested the owner of the place, Edward Gaines, 42; James Cambridge, 41, 320 St. Nicholas avenue; William Suber, 34, 156 West 128th street, and Charles Thomas, 24, 10 West 134th street, on charges of possessing narcotics. All were held for Special Sessions when arraigned before Magistrate Well on Thursday. Cambridge, a former inmate of Sing Sing, was denied bail; Thomas was held in $5,000 bail; Gaines, who has a previous conviction for the same crime, was held in $10,000 bail, and Suber, who was sent to prison for possessing drugs in 1906, was held in $1,000 bail. Detectives Christ, Reilly and Wilson were the arresting officers. Detective Christ testified that, when the other two officers entered the apartment, he stood in the yard and caught a box containing six decks of cocaine which, he said, Gaines threw out the window. Gaines denied this, saying the box was thrown out by one of the officers' stool pigeons who was there to frame them. Detective Wilson said he found one deck of cocaine on the person of Suber, and Thomas was accused of having one deck, also. While the officers were waiting for the patrol wagon they were informed that "Gloria Swanson" was hiding behind the kitchen door. Detective Reilly investigated and found Cambridge clinging to a ledge behind the door. Upon being searched a deck of cocaine was found in his hat band. He admitted this in court, but said he did not believe that the exhibit offered in evidence against him contained anything. Magistrate Well dispelled his doubt by having the package opened for him. City Chemist Kelly testified that chemical analysis indicated that all the powders were cocaine.

Te girl testified that Kellerman lured her into the rear of his store where she alleges he attacked her. He denied the charge when arrested by Detectives Lynch and McLaughlin. East 104th street station, and Agents McCarthy and Hammond of the Childrens Society. The police were unable to produce sufficient corroboration of the girl's story and the charge against Kellerman was dismissed.

Depleting the situation as intense and grave in all Manhattan, Negro districts of Harlem are becoming as overcongested as the "some of the worst districts in the lower East Side." It continues: "Buildings are deteriorating; property values are depressed.

New slum districts are consequently beginning to appear." The Harlem Tenants' Legume reports continued complaints from tenants who have received notices of increases in rent of ten to fifty per cent. Tenants will be forced to increase the number of roomers and subdivisions of their living quarters in order to exist. It is pointed out by Richard B. Moore, president of the organization. The mass meeting will be held at the 135th street branch Public Library auditorium, 103 West 135th street. Efforts will be made to provoke a wholesale rent strike.

Alice Dunbar-Nelson Makes Peace Plea at Bethel Lyceum Anniversary The "new Negro" was pictured as an American racial unit that is beginning to reach its stature and take an active interest in international affairs in an address Sunday before the Bethel Young People's Lyceum, 52 West 132d street, by Alice Dunbar-Nelson, executive secretary of the American Interracial Peace Commission. The former wife of the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar, who is herself a poet and newspaper columnist, made a simple plea for the Negro's aid in creating popular opinion for world peace. The Bridland-Kellogg peace pact, subject of much controversy in Congress, was seen by the speaker as an attempt to do the same work Christ came to do in 1,928 years ago. The treaty is simply an effort to make warring nations unpopular, she said. Mrs. Nelson described the horrors of war, which she contended never settled anything. Always, the speaker contended, the poorer classes and minor groups must pay the full penalties in lives, suffering of women and children, and the aftermath of bodies and further discrimination. Naval appropriations before Congress should interest Negroes as much as any legislation directly affecting the group, was the view of the peace advocate. Once war is declared at the command of the commander, the citizen is enlisted upon to shed his blood, while the statesmen and wealthy remain at home, she said.

"The pride that kept me silent as a neglected and unwanted child stayed with me through life, through many vicissitudes, and kept me silent even when in a prison cell." These two paragraphs were culled from the last will and testament of Theodore Roberts, "the grand old man" of the films, who died in Hollywood last week. All the members of his family, save one, were eliminated from his will; to that nephew, Edward Roberts Higgins of this city, he gave his estate, which is valued at "more than $10,000." A serious case of the "blues" often makes us all feel that those who should love us most are those who manifest it least. Perhaps, we are to blame for some of this. Have we been unselfish in our demands from our family? Have we given to the family as much as we expected from it? Have we been proud of our family, even though the financial and social status of this family has not been on the same par with our neighbor's? Now that the New Year has put in its appearance, let us take ourselves seriously, let us TRY to live 365 unselfish days.

Looking Your Best By FANNETTE Resolutions NOW that we're making plans for the New Year, why not center a few of them on our health and appearance? One of the main resolutions that we can make is to be persistent, persevering and regular in our efforts to improve. I know a woman who has been on a diet for the past five years simply because she can't stick closely to orders for six months. She had skim trouble and the doctor told her not to eat any sweets and not to use sugar in anything and, as starch turns into sugar, she has to cut out starchy food, such as white bread, potatoes, rice and macaroni. She do to this for six months, but she'd allow herself to be tempted and she'd find herself ordering an ice-cream soda. Of course, the diet didn't have the right effect and she is still on and off of it. A few resolutions for the New Year are: 1. I resolve to drink six glasses of water every day. 3.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1928 RECIPES HOUSE USEWES EXC By Lillian Sharpe Hunter HOUSEWES EXCHANGE A HAPPY and prosperous New Year to the readers of the Housewives' Exchange! Once again this is the season of resolutions. Housewives, in particular, should have many resolutions to make. First of all, let us resolve to keep our homes cleaner; keep everything in its place, thereby giving the home the tidy appearance at all times. Secondly, let us resolve to cook and prepare better meals—good, wholesome, well-balanced meals—suitable for the children as well as the grown-ups. Thirdly, let us resolve to buy practical clothing, business dresses for the office (not party frocks). In plain words, buy the proper clothes for each occasion. Let us pay more attention to the children's clothes. Do not give them so much lace and finery, but sensible tailored clothes that will last more than one season. Raisins, dates and figs and the good things made with them are as symbolic of the holidays as the mistletoe and holly. But fruit in some form should be included in every day's meal, because it is valuable for mineral salts and vitamins, as well as for the bulk it furnishes. Fresh fruits are not always available, but the dried fruits, which have been brought to such a degree of tempting perfection, are always on hand. Prunes and raisins are two of the best known.

JACKSON, M.D. THIS has been called a "tin-can and paper-bag" age, be- THIS has been called a tin-can and paper-bag age, because of the general use of food products that can be bought, in some sort of container, already prepared. Vegetables, fruits, meats, bread and cake—these are in almost universal demand. When the sweet tooth is to be filled, somebody goes out and buys a box of candy. The old-fashioned fudge party is as passe as the horse and buggy. Part of this increased use of canned and manufactured goods is undoubtedly due to the confidence women have in the purity and quality of the food products and the sanitary conditions under which they are made and packed. This is in most cases a well-placed confidence, for the modern food factory makes a fetish of cleanliness. Soap and water are essential factors in the operation of the food industry. Whether or not the paper-wrapped products come to the housewife in clean condition depends on the retailer. The woman who is ordinarily cautions about food will patronize only the dealers whose shop have as much evidence of cleanliness as the factories whose products they sell. Are the shelves, floors and counters kept neat and spatless? Do the salesmen's hands bear evidence of frequent washing? Ahe their uniforms or aprons immaculate? All of these things will have a bearing on the cleanliness and purity of the paper bag items on your shopping list.

New Year Gifts. To those of you who contemplate sending New Year gifts, profit by the mistakes just made and see that they are mailed on time, and are properly wrapped and addressed. There is nothing more appropriate than the book gift. To the book lover there is perhaps but one perfect gift—the right book for the right person. To make it even more acceptable, we collect criticisms of the book and biographical sketches of its author. These are slipped in to the envelope containing the gift card and enclosed with the book. Electric Heaters. No matter how many built-in heaters are in the house, there remains a need for at least one "portable." CITY PLANS HARLEM RECREATION CENTER The largest municipal playground in upper Manhattan was in prospect for Harlem today following announcement of the proposed remodelling of St. Nicholas Park. Announcement of the authorization was made by Park Commissioner Herrick. The plan calls for improvement of a three-acre plot bounded by 128th and 130th streets, St. Nicholas avenue and St. Nicholas terrace. The cost will be $50,000. The playground project will include a swimming pool, field house, rest room and six tennis courts. Set near the center of Harlem, the park will provide added recreation for one of the city's most congeated sections. WOMEN'S FEDERATION TO MEET AT BETHEL The fourth annual installation exercises of the New York Federation of Women's Clubs will be held Sunday afternoon at four o'clock at Bethel A. M. E. Church, 52 West 132d street, according to announcement of Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, president. The Rev. A. C. Saunders will address the body. Mrs. Rosa H. Lampkin is chairman of the scheduled meeting and Sylvia Smith heads the program committee. Cooking Hints Spread grated cheese on crackers and put the crackers in an oven to brown. They'll be so tasty! If you have put too much water in the vessel in which you are cooking cereal, try cooking for a time with the vessel uncovered. Properly cooked cereals should absorb all the water in which they are cooked. Especially is this true in private houses where the heat is not evenly distributed. Perhaps the most popular and generally used heater is the portable type, which can be connected wherever there is an electric outlet. The cost of operating any of these heaters depends entirely on the cost of electricity per kilowatt hour in your vicinity and on the length of time the heater is operated. These heaters are very necessary in the bathroom and in the nursery during these months. New Year's Dinner.

FIVE BestAmusementPages in Greater New York WITHIN the next seven days another year will have rolled around and this department will face the coming twelve months with an inspiration at the seat of which is the undivided support of the members of the theatrical profession so far as it interests us here in the East. It has been convenient for departments of this kind to point to their achievements and issue thoughts for what they hope to accomplish in the future at this time of the year. If we say it is unnecessary for us to point to what has been accomplished here it will not be with any attempt to crow over rivals that have spent the major part of their time verbally "telling the world" how great they are. An outstanding stance of what has been done can be found in the year that members of the profession husten to get in touch with this publication which is abroad. when they are one thing that easily proves the fact of real popularity it is by the action of people thousands of miles away from home. When these people turn their thoughts to any particular paper for an expression, hoping thereby to attract the attention of their friends, they know how they are facing in foreign countries, it speaks for itself and makes the claim of 'vals sound like a whisper in a boiler factory. And at this time of the year when the world turns to the celebration of the birth of the Nazarene, it is indeed gratifying to gaze upon the expressions of good cheer and best wishes during the merry Yuletide season. From East and West, North and South the hand of good luck is stretched across land and sea. From England and France, Germany, Austria, Russia, Asia and Africa, South America, the West Indies, Canada, and other places roll in the letters and cards bearing the good-will of a people who feel that we have served them well in the past. Did not the same expressions come from all over the United States we would be seeking consolatio nin the thought that "a prophet has honor in his own hand from the ear in his ear from the rising of the earth in the East have come these tokens inspired by kind things which have left us firmly convinced in the pastoral existence which is the dream of our future we have not one iota from the hail down early in career fast approaching earlier century mark. Let us then, entirely devoid of that feeling of hypocrisy so marked in many and so readily seen by those who would but observe, take a medium of assuring the allusions that we return the contents of the season, wishing for a very merry Christmas with an honest hope that success will attend them when they have used in the New Year's holiday years of thanks and noticing to the Great Power for bringing them into the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine. The Season of Giving THE written word left to us by generations past known as history has told us to "beware of the Greeks bearing gifts." We wonder how many during this merry Yule-tide season are giving gifts prompted by the true feeling of earth and good-with-good given to the world as a inspiration after the Men of the East had bowed before the cradle of the Christ Child? In this world of the theatre in which Fate has directed our activities for a generation we cannot but note with a great relief how so many of our gifts without the accompaniment of the beating of drums and the clashing of cymbals. As we gaze around we see some of our fellowmen making what they termed "gifts"—gifts which would be made did they not know that the newspapers would herald what they are doing thereby adding to their profits. would. Those, my worthies, belong to that class, men whom the Son of God drove from the Temple while preaching the Word surrounded by his faithful deciples. And it was from that same element that came the world famous character, Isaac carlot, emulated with great success by those who would ask us to join in telling an indulgent world how women are by giving "gifts" which are no gifts at all, but that which the faithful hath earned. The worthy give without hope of reward. Solah! In some caustic and satiric verses sent to us the other day Mr. John Watt has pilloried a certain theatre in Harlem, and along our same line of thought has pictured a condition JOSEPHINE BAKER OUT OF BERLIN REVUE Local Theatres Offering Big Holiday Bills Messrs. Miller and Lyles THE MUSICIAN Of Negro Comedians Before the American Public Today It Would Be An Herculean Task to Find Any Better Than Miller and Lyles. Long Before They Had Come Into Their Own as Members and Producers of "Shuffle Along" They Were Stage Favorites. They Are at the Lafayette Theatre This Week for the First Time in Many Years. At Harlem Theatres By OBSERVER On account of this paper going to press earlier than usual again next week because of the New Year holiday, the剧院 and other amusement areas have been asked to send their advertising and other matter in by Saturday. Managers were notlified two weeks ago that this change for the holiday was not to be blamed by those taking offense at our established policy. THE LINCOLN THEATRE "Deep Harlem" with more than half a hundred performers opened the holiday week at the Lincoln Theatre on Monday afternoon and stopped east and west traffic on Monday afternoon and relief did not come until the final curtain tell on the first show. It has been many a day since such a large show has played 135th street and indications point to one of the biggest weeks at the Lincoln. The offering needs no introduction at this time as much was said of it on the initial appearance in Harlem some months ago. It is said that the offering is a thing of the past time which can truthfully claim that it is really going to make a try for Broadway after the showing at the Lincoln Theatre. Audiences at this house will get the benefit of the plans being made for its production downward. It is also possible to shape for a hold try at the attention of the most exacting street in the world. The Picture This Week The Columbia production coming to the Lincoln on Thursday for a four-day run is entitled "Nothing to Wear." It is a comedy drama full of suspense, surprises and mischief. Love, suspense and action action are all balanced with proper balance in plot that is unique in development and unusual treatment. Over a hundred of the latest Paris fashion creations are used in the action, many of them worn by Jacqueline Logan, star of the film Miss Winton and other movies of the company, revolves around an exquisite fur coat, which gets the possessor into endless difficulties. New Year's Week Offering Andrew Tribble and Billy Mitchell will head the revue entitled "Miss Ophelia Snow," which came into the Lincoln next week starting Monday afternoon. Tribble and Mitchell, supported by a large coat will inject some stuff into this holiday week offering that is bound to appeal to auditors at the Lincoln. It has been many months since this combination of entertainers have been seen in new districts to district, and with the additions to a show which was whipped into shape when it went out on the then Majestic Circuit even the management is looking for ward to another, big show the in the popular performers are in the cast and the chorus end promises some new SPECIAL NOTICE wrinkles after many weeks of rehearsal for this particular engagement. DRAKE-WALKER CLOSED After making a play for the support of the colored people of Harlem for the past few months the Drake Walker Theatre, which opened under the management of Henry Drake, closed its doors after the last performance the out of last week. The better part of what was offered had been seen by the same aggregation of players here in the past, and the house, which cannot be said to be in a class with other houses catering to Negroes, did not quite ruin a few of the theatreers here. There can be no denying that the effort was one of the most commendable, but as we pointed out many weeks ago the services of a public relations counsel had a public relations need, and was sadly needed. If it is true that thousands are today reading the Negro papers then it is also true that the same thing holds good here as elsewhere in the world of the theatre and a man fully alive to this work will have the various things in connection with the securing and presentation of shows. Possibly our words were prophetic. Andrew Bishop will find himself in a good spot to give out holiday cheer to the patrons of the Alhambra Theatre as he is this week appearing in the leading role of "Framed" and will appear in the same spot with "Silver Threads" the show underlined for the new year.

WEDNESDAY, JAN. 2nd, MATINEE OMITTED NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1928 AT THE ALHAMBRA Josephine Baker Unable to Appear Two Versions of Sudden Failure to Appear Going the Rounds PARIS. Dec. 14—The former chorus girl who cavorted on the end of the line with "Runin' Wild" and other shows and gained sensational prominence at the European capitals is again the center of attention and being played up by the newspapers. Naturally, we have reference to Miss Josephine Baker in a running story the The American News Paris correspondent is not yet able to present his findings in full, but will most likely have an interesting story to unfurl in the near future. The Paris newspapers are carrying stories to the effect that Miss Baker left the Western Theatre in Berlin, Germany, suddenly as she was unable to appear for the evening's performance following an injury to her egg caused by her egg caused by her husband. The cause is said to have been an quarrel over money. The European editions of the American papers carried an entirely different story, a version that Miss Baker demanded an increase in salary and when that was not forthcoming she is said to have quit the theatre. Of course, one is inclined to ask himself while gazing at the skies if Miss Baker did not have a contract. Albertin, whose name has been associated with Miss Baker for quite some time, was a well known figure around Montmartre and to the best knowledge of your correspondent is not a count, nor does it appear that he is married to Miss Baker as I have been unable to uncover any record of his religious conduct. The usual Miss Baker admitted to this writer some time ago that she was not married to this Albertin. American papers here also assert that in her application for passports Miss Baker said she was single. There is no truth whatsoever to the hints of certain theatrical managers in New York Mall. Already assigned contracts or showed a disposition to sign contracts to appear in Harlem. The Amsterdam News should nall this story along with the information reaching here that the same people communicated with Johnny Hudgins while here by transatlantic telephone. entertainting dramatic playlets remain Susie Sutton, George Randol, Donna Duncan and many changes have been noted at the Alhambra during the year but the playlets continue to "carry on" with us much play upon the fancy of audiences at this theatre as in the first days when the innovation seemed as something entirely differed from the usual form on Seventh avenue. "Jazz Holiday" with Billy Higgins, Johnny Lee Long, Pligmeat, Amanda Randolph, Isabel Washington, Doris Rheubottom, Jimmie Baskette, Ted Blackman, ably supported by the irresistible bungee lifters known as the Alhambra Chorus, to revive end of the entertainment at the Alhambra this week. Not to be outdone by those whose thoughts have already wandered to plans for the coming year, an appropriate revue, with the seasonale title Hello 1929, with the seasonale with living strains of music after week. An unusual effort has been put forward in getting together this piece as the company and the management are desirious of starting the New Year in a big way. AT THE LAFAYETTE One cannot deny that the holiday week was auspiciously ushered in at the Lafayette Theatre when Messrs. Miller and Lyles topped the revue which will hold the boards all this week at the Seventh avenue house. The comedy of this team of known and unknown performers is himself or would take away the reputation of the original "Sober Suo" herself. Few can resist the temptation to give way to mirth when Miller and Lyles start the ball ailing. It was their infectious fun that had a lot to do with the success of their "Shuffle Along" and even other show they might appear since. It was a truth said that endless of what else is in a show with which they are connected and appearing, Miller and Lyles always get their full share of the applause. Ravella Hughes, Mue Barnes, Lavinia Mack and Arthur Porter have done splendid work, and the comedians and this week they are adding their share to the success of what should be a big attraction during the run here, "Fats" Waller, Jimmie Johnson and C. Miller written all over it, make the revue one easy to look at and much easier to listen to.

The feature photoplay is the popular "Tenth Avenue," which made such a hit when first produced on Broadway. The movie pleases with the response, should do much in making the Lafayette unusually attractive despite a week which is said to be at its lowest ebb during the Christmas season. Walter Richardson's Success (From an English exchange.) THERE is a richness about Messrs. Clayton and Waller's musical shows at the Palace Theatre that suggests cake—a plum cake for preference, and cut into two enormous slices. Virginia more plum cake than ever. No Nanette or Clouds up with a chorus—"Roll Away Clouds"—that makes "Old Man River" sound like a Moody and Sankay hymn. "Roll Away Clouds," with its obvious origin in the Negro "spiritual," is the best chorus that has been heard on the English musical comedy stage for years, and to hear it sung by Walter Richardson—a colored singer like Challaphee the full chorus like Challaphee's hair stand on end. As for the music of the music, there are plenty of catching tunes, gracefully orchestrated, and prettily sung by Miss Marjorie Gordon and a miraculously nimble chorus. There Rumor Says Reed Will Not Replace Gilpin It appears as though George Reed the veteran motion picture actor of Hollywood, won't do Glinp's part in Wm. Fox's "Hearts of Dixie" after all. During the past week the New York office of Fox has been busy trying to get someone to fill the place left vacant by Charles Glinp. It must be a sad blow for Reed to have been selected for the part and then to have been replaced, if this is a fact. Fore more than fifteen years he had been employed in the Hollywood studios. Beginning with D. W. Griffith, when he made the "Clansman," Reed has worked for every important director and company in Hollywood. Replacing Gliphn in "Hearts of Dixie" was his biggest break in all of his fifteen years of motion picture work that included many days when he had work or money for necessities. Reed's biggest part lately was with Rosebud Films, in which he plays the part of a miner in their picture "Absent." A.

LOS ANEGLES, Calif., Dec. 21.—(ANP)—Miss Honey Brown selected in New York to star in the King Vidor all-colored picture associated with the Negro Press representative of her plans to go to Paris in the near future.

In making the picture, the director prepared a film, preparing and cutting, Universal photographed enough scenes to make at least ten pictures, of the present day, serving as the story. Serving to make a picture that would be universally accepted by the South as well as the North, the director turned out several versions of the story and in each the love theme of Eliza and Harris predominated. Many of the hundreds of colored actors, who worked in the production, were either eliminated or cut to thashes, Mr. Lowe was on his way, thus missing out at that quite a bit of his very excellent work remains in some of the versions, in England all of his work remains in Europe helped his work as most-fuel. In America the critics have been very nice to him. The Hollywood Filmograph said his performance was the most in the New York Daily News said that he was a grand "Uncle Tom." Even the press of the southern city of Dallas, Texas, praised his interpretation of "Tom." Between Drinks. It may be quite some time before Mr. Lowe will be seen on the screen again. He has not made a picture since he returned from Europe, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer wired for him that he has been closest most of the week with officals of Wm.

With the coming of the next week another year will be upon us without the bestsure promise of something un- expected, and the lines of theatrical entertainment here. Word has come to us that the Drake-Walker Theatre, on 12th Friday of the performance Sunday night, thereby bringing to an end the attempt of Jenny Drake and his associates to speak of the Union, adding to the ap- parently fertile attempt of colored men to operate theatres here. It would be cooler to clear the air of the Union, adding to the old difficulty of support on the part of our own people in our business ventures. There is nothing new about it. It has been a groundless story which we must not lose sight of. Appealing to our own on purely sentimental grounds cannot pay the price. Living above 12th street will not travel to that thoroughfare to wit- ness the same kind of shows which they can see at the other houses The truth of the matter is that Hurlen is suffering from a same-issue condition would cause the stranger to register amazement. With the exception of the Theatre this week, the various comedians and other entertainers have been seen in theaters with their look and doing, doing the same old thing over and over again. War Had Its Effect With the late World's War came an age in the theatrical business that has left its mark for the worst of times. The theater, in the battle of the ages there were insuring efforts made to present to Negros a better form of entertainment, supported by the old-fashioned theater a thing of the past. It took more brain to create one of those real old-fashioned musical comedies than the groundbreaking form of entertainment duly swow only in the smaller houses. At least one theatre here had successfully maintained a form of operation skin to the better class of the theater, when the three-day show, with its regular midnight performances, game it took back with one swoop the Negro actor, to a time when the theater was under the cause of the剧院. It is said that the Negro actor in those theatres catering exclusively to Negro audiences put in effort for work. We do not know this to be a fact and if it is he has suffered tortily for the few dollars added to his pay envelopees.

Lack of organization among Negro actors is to blame for the major part of the lilies they suffer. With inimbalness among the actor benefits, but the general public also. Many months ago an attempt was made by certain processes to set together, and it is said that the actor benefits from deciding to better their condition that he went into a theatre office to issue an ultimatum and came out of his own shows to produce one of his own shows, throwing his fellow down hard. For the benefit of those readers interested in this department of the C. Miller and I, we ask Mr. Miller to coordinate articles on next issue on the general conditions as they obtain in the theatre at the present time as he sees them. Of course, producers of the Negro communities, we believe that Mr. Miller occupies a position which makes it possible for him to speak with more people. We have in the past afforded with Mr. Miller at times, and possible we will in the future be called upon to differ again with him, but, to our advantage, we can better set forth theills they suffer and the remedy for them, and these columns are not confined to the opinions of any favored few.

The magic and witches of "Blackbirdie" "singing of "Nixie" belts up in one's inner moral videos of things never seen but somehow staring one's recollection. Then, again, when "Blackbirdie" plays a love song, she "I Can't Catch You Anything But Loose." It carries all the conviction of masterful oratory, rather than merely warming the heart. Alda Ward, one of the leading soloists of the company, was advised of these unusual effects, by singing exquisite songs she and her team were achieved. She denounced to the suggestion that there might be anything unusual about the psychology of "You dream your song to make it sweet," she said simply. "When I sing 'Dixie' my heart rides high over the cotton fields and I see man and women dancing in the sunshine, bending low, in the sunshine as they work. When I sing 'Dixie' I see misty mountains and peaceful slopes and sparkling rivers, and my spirit warms up. When I sing 'Dixie' I see them, but far away where quiet and calm hang like a canopy over the Southland. I dream I am on Mother Nature's breast and she is very kind "And when I sing 'I Can't Give You Anything But Love' I dream of the things that are in a young girl's heart—all those she and beautiful things she can love to her, but which she can not have. And then I dream of love, which always is the thing she wants most because it is the most beautiful thing after all, even you can't buy it. Believe me, the most beautiful singer is the singer who dreams." WASHINGTON. Dec. 24.—The new Trades Hall of the National Training School for Women and Girls has been dedicated.

Dr. Charlton presented Sir John Stainer's beautiful Mass in F, a work seldom heard in Negro churches. The exquisite handling of the voices of the choir portrayed the highly developed musicmanship of its leader. Special mention can be made of the number from the Handel "Messiah," in which the solo part was sung by Miss Doris Trotman, soprano, and Benjamin Rugsdale, baritone. It is haped, when the time warrants, Dr. Charlton will present his most widely known work, "The Crucifixion."

Since his distinctive recital here in November, Mr. Hayes has been heard in Washington, where Mrs. Calvin Coolidge was one of the audience; in Charleston, W. Va.; Syracuse, Chicago, Cleveland and Indianapolis. Incidentally, Mr. Hayes is taking a ten days' Christmas vacation in the South. After his revisit here he will go to Boston, travel northwards to Canada, southward to Florida, and then go westward, reaching the Pacific Coast in March. This American tour, the fifth one he has made, is entirely hooked for the season. DAYTON, O. C., Dec. 24 (ANP).—What has been proclaimed as one of the most modern office buildings owned by Negroes in the State of Arkansas, the Hattock, prominent dentist of this cid, at 409 West Fifth street. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1928 The Cash Value of Lives Forbes Magazine for December 15 carries an article of unusual interest on the "Cash Value of Lives." This magazine, which styles itself "A Magazine for Busy Business Men," is edited by B. C. Forbes, perhaps the most widely read financial writer in America. It specializes in articles of interest to big business executives. "The Cash Value of Lives" is from the pen of Harry H. Pace, president of Northeastern Life Insurance Company of Newark, and is signed by him. Mr. Pace makes a very simple but clear analysis of the value of human life expressed in dollars and cents and the replacement value when death occurs. Some of his conclusions are interesting to our race group, particularly that they show that as a group Negroes have placed too low a value on life and when their earnings stop by death all the wealth that might have been created is lost. The result is that the Negro is not getting richer as a race at the rate he should. An illuminating paragraph from the article is as follows: "At thirty a man earning $2,500 a year is worth in terms of human capital $18,562. This man man has an expectation of life of 36.57 years, which means that the average man of his group and kind will live nearly thirty-seven years longer. He will live until he is 65 years old, remainder of his life, and after deducting his future personal expenses and the computed value of his earnings, his present replacement worth is $18,562. Some interesting figures have also been computed as to the value of the life of a boy from one year of age to age 18, when he becomes self-supporting. At such that boys' life is worth $18,562, an astonishing scale until at 18 the human capital value of his life is $28,562. "The cost of rearing a child from birth to eighteen will total 7,228. The cost of being born amounts to 2250, while food, clothing and shelter during the period amount to nearly 6000 more. The cost of education, by charging into 'shelter' the taxes which we pay either as owners or tenants and which go into the community cost of education." The article is illustrated with graphs showing the relative proportion of income that should go into life insurance and other essentials of life. It is also accompanied by a list of 194 men who carry more than one million dollars of life insurance on their lives. As a result of the article Mr. Pace has been requested to do an article for the Newark Sunday Call in its January 6 issue and for two other magazines of general circulation. The Southern Workman published at Hampton Institute will release in an early number an article from his pen, "The Reaction of the Negro to Life Insurance."

Ellis, who was again given the post of recording secretary, reviewed the history of the body before the medical group, emphasizing the membership of seventy, which is more than twice the size of the organization when it included dentists and pharmacists. Nine scientific papers were offered by specialists during the same number of meetings in 1927, according to the secretary. Elected to office with the two above mentioned were: Dr. Paul A. Collins, vice-president, and Dr. F. T. Reid, financial secretary. Other members of the executive committee elected were: Drs. Wiley Wilson, Neville C. Whiteman and Luclen M. Brown. The association will give a banquet in January in honor of Dr. Albert S. Reed, oldest Negro doctor in New York by point of service. The fete will also attempt to portray the esteem and high regard in which Dr. Reed is held by the city, the president said.

An exhibit of the recent works of Malvina Hoffman, white, leading American woman sculptor and versatile artist, who includes a generous proportion of subjects of the Negro and the colored races, is faring forth this week at the Grand Central Art Galleries, 15 Vanderbilt avenue. The exhibit closes Jan. 5. Of fifty-nine subjects done in the last three years, the artist offers eleven of Africans and a half dozen others of Javanese. Her work is in bronze, black marble, coal, wood, plaster, terra cotta, brick and sandstone. There are also a series of drawings, cartoons and plaster panels.

WITH the passing of Christmas come the dawn of a New Year and the awakening of new ambitions and adventures. For many years people have begun the New Year with strong resolutions, invincibly determined to acquire a certain good habit, to be more resourceful, or to do something that would bring about a more systematic routine of living, and thereby make them a happier and better member of the civilized family. Most of these resolutions, like rich pie crust, crumbled into pieces and were cast away to the four winds with indifference and disgust. The things resolved are not always beyond the possibility of accomplishment, nor the undertaking an unwise venture, but often there is lack of valor and self-confidence surrounded by unfavorable circumstances—all weakening the spirit of good-will. beginning of a New Year—a new year for a new life. If a man is a perpetual drinker and he resolves in June that he has taken his last drink and that he will abstain wholly from The beginning of a "New Year" is a good starting point for new hopes and new measures, if it is not a mechanical start induced by custom or environment, but any time of the year that we "turn over a new leaf" in the book of our daily lives is the Your Automobile By Robert G. Jones Why More Gasoline on a Cold Day. When the engine is cold due to the corresponding cold temperature, an extra amount of gasoline must be drawn into the cylinder before the motor will start. The reason for this is that a certain proportion of the gasoline vapor must be in the cylinder before it can be properly ignited. It is easier to ignite a liquid if it is less volatile than a warm one. The vapor given off is further decreased upon striking the cold cylinder walls and condenses back into the heavy gasoline state, which is non-combustible. Therefore, one can readily see why so much gasoline is necessary. Only a part of the gasoline is ignited and the gasoline that is in the liquid state settles in the inlet manifold. Part of it passes into the cylinders in an unbrut state. Another part of the cylinder walls, washing off the lubrication (oil) and into the crank case, further diluting the lubricating oil. Large automobiles usually have rectifiers which act in the same way as a refinery. These rectifiers refine the oil, purify the gasoline and pass it back into the carburetor so that it may be used again. Thus the larger automobiles have the economic advantage over the smaller cars.

Woman's Memory Honored In memory of the late Mrs. Butler Wilson of Boston, a life membership in the N. A. A. C.

A check for $500 accompanied Mr. Wilson's letter establishing the membership. beginning of a New Year—a new year for a new life. If a man is a perpetual drinker and he resolves in June that he has taken his last drink and that he will abstain wholly from drinking, and from that day declare himself against strong drinks and actually avoid them, he is living in a New Year. Occasionally, new opportunities are granted one with the beginning of the New Year, which concurrently awaken the spirit of new ideas and resolutions easy to materialize. On the other hand, the doors of opportunity closed against a seemingly prosperous life can likewise be spurned of all hopes and potentialities of the future. In many Christian centers, unconverted members of the center often pledge themselves to live a Christian life beginning with the New Year. It is the last Christian service of the old year, hundreds of them rush to the mourners seat, bow at the altar, beg forgiveness for passed transgressions and plead to be purged of sins and evils that the New Year will find them clean. This burning confession, all inspired by the approach of a new calendar year, often chills to its normal temperature before many moons. The temperamental Christian then finds himself living in the shadow of hypocrisy. Make resolutions. That's a noble thing to do. Make them premeditatively and consistently and declare them by action and debate not only on January 1, but at any time of the year the opportunity is ripe.

Established 23 Years Dietitian. The other day I was talking to a young girl about her future. She seemed much depressed due to the fact that she could not decide just what to do. "I like housekeeping," she said, "but there is no money or profession in that." That is where she made a mistake. There is a profession for those who like housekeeping and are scientifically minded. It is in the field of dietetics. A doctor prescribes a certain number of proteins, carbohydrates and fats for treatment. It is the duty of the dietitian to plan an appetizing meal, which will contain just the required percentages of proteins, carbohydrates or fats. She cannot be expensive, so it is important that she knows where to secure the best foods at the most economical prices. In a very small institution it may be possible for the dietitian to do the preparation of the meals herself. The larger the institution, the greater number of people she will supervise. QUALITIES: As was stated, a girl needs interest in housekeeping and chemistry, for dielectrics is just a big DRAMA Richard H. Harrison, dramatic reader, formerly of the faculty of A. and T.

She should have initiative, as this is required in the adjusting of meals. She must also be a capable executive in order that she might get the most out of those under her supervision. TRAINING: Four years of high school with special attention to science gives a good foundation. Then she should go to a university in the school to have courses in dietetics are offered and spends from two to four years there. There is another way for the girl who has only had one or two years in high school. A one-year course in dietetics is offered to her which is followed by an apprenticeship in a hospital. This is the longer method in the end. ADVANTAGES: In the first place, a dietitian does a very important piece of hoath work and is looked up to by others. She is sole authority in her department. If she does care to work in a hospital, oportions are made and in schools, colleges, clubs and in some businesses, where meals are served to the employees. In a large institution the pay is unusually good, while in small hospitals it runs a little higher than that of the graduate nurses. DISADVANTAGES: It is a profession that requires long hours, as you must be around as long as meals are to be prepared. A dietitian will also have difficulty in finding competent assistants, the pay for them being rather low. Naturally, there is a large turnover of help.

Hart claimed that the United States Government owed him $22,575,389.14. The sudden death of Martin B. Madden gave the Negroes of Chicago a chance to nominate a Negro for Congress. They nominated Oscar DePriest and he was elected. The Democrats of St. Louis nominated Joseph McLemore, a Negro, for Congress, and the New York Republicans nominated Edward A. Johnson. Both were defeated. John D. Rockefeller Jr. sponsored the Dunbar National Bank, which was opened in Harlem. The Negroes of Memphis, Tenn., led by Robert R. Church, turned the election for Mayor in that city. Casper Holstein was the victim of a mysterious kidnapping, which has not yet been explained or settled. The Republican Lily Whites tried to discredit Perry W. Howard and Ben J. Davis. Howard was tried on a charge of corruption and was acquitted. The steamship "Vestris" of the Lamport & Holt line was sunk and more than 100 people were lost. Many were saved by the heroism of Lionel Licarish and other Negro seamen. James A. Rogers reported a wave of novels in France dealing with the Negro. Three of the leading Negro newspapers supported Governor Smith for the Presidency. A near-riot in Harlem occurred in August, in which the police were accused of brutality.

This Brooklyn combination of basketball players have been hanging up a brilliant record all season and are now making an entrance into the roster of what is undoubtedly one of the foremost teams in the country. If an aggregation of white players are to take the measure of the best, they could have been selected, although Manager Bob Douglas reflects the same confidence as when the Knicks knocked up against players of lesser skill.

At the start of the second half, Sonders replaced Slocum and Marrero, who could only add two points to their score, during the greater part of the half, while the champs were down in from all angles of the outfield. Towards the end the Renalsiance let down somewhat and the Hudson team were able to score a few more points. Replaced Bicke in the last few minutes and secured a floor-basket for his labor. "Puppy" Ricks, as high scorer for the evening, continued his brilliant work, setting six floor goals and one for 13 points, with Satch presses for 10 points, and two fouls for 12 points. Wimmer and Coganino, with three floor goals, and Winning with two floor goals and two fouls, were all tied, with six fouls each, as high scorer for the evening.

St. Christopher Machine the Buffalo "Wonder Team" Last Wednesday the St. Christopher Red and Black Machine defeated the Original Buffaloes in one of the fastest games played this season before a howling mob of rooters. From the time that Capt. Eddie Corbin threw the first goal of the game from past the center or the floor for St. C., the Machine was never headed in the scoring. However, St. C. failed to hold "Blondy" Carter, who was high scorer for the Buffaloes with seven points but did not score that dangerous element of the Buffaloes offensive. Henry's only contribution was a goal from the foul line. Blins shriek the same fate as rallying only one point in the game. Al Eldridge, St. C. center, matched Corbitt's spectacular heave with one from the same distance early in the game, and Corbitt self-sat a sterling guard, placing the usually much higher scoring "Blondy" to three field goals and was guilty of only one violation. In checking that speed demon, Dick Seay (19) was able to score 15 points, followed by Corbitt and White with eight each. The St. C. defense was responsible for the victory as the Bunnels never got started, and nothing short of terrific. It was a case of Buffalo determination and grit against St. C. pluck and court generalship. The St. C. cheering section supplied the entertainment center with the halves of the same. The score: ST.

Commandeurs Lose Another By Close Score Friday PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22 — The Commandeurs' basketball team suffered another defeat when they fell before the onslaught of the Briscoe club from the Waltz Dream Hall here, by the score of 49 to 16 Friday night at the Waltz Dream Hall here. Briscoe fought the Commandeurs from antithetical hands and was in doubt until the final whirlwind. Though the Commandeurs' tricky defense was not easy to solve, the Briscoe club did not win the game. In the Commandeurs' other two defeats, Briscoe's offense consisted of a passing attack, which matched the Commandeurs' and which stood out as the team's leading minutes of the game when the Commandeurs staged a final spurt.

He has taken part in no "shady contests and never has been involved in any of the off-color" happening whatsoever. Furthermore, it is said, George's pilot will produce a record of his success, and prove that no fighter deserves any higher ranking in the heavyweight division than Godfrey. George's achievements were two decision victories over Pauline Uzcudun, who will figure prominently in the elimination plans. George will be matched with any fighter the boxing commission names, and if George gets licked the Pennsylvania pair themselves immediately eliminated. If none of the boxing boards pay any attention to Doubffrey's plea for George to be given a newspaper campaign to force Rick and to give Godfrey at least ONE chance, Jimmy will ask boxing country to try to get justice for his fighter and convince the flatie public that a colored heavyweight has absolutely no chance to win the weight title, regardless of his ability.

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala., Dec. 24.—That service, price and quality overcome the obstacles of color in business is the conclusion of the investigators who conducted the survey of Negro business after having examined more than 3,000 businesses in thirty-two cities of fifteen states during the past eight months. TWEETS Survey of 3,000 Bus In Thirty-two Better Financing, Investment Advertising, New Field Are Chief TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE price and quality overcome the is the conclusion of the invest- vey of Negro business after ha businesses in thirty-two cities o eight months. The preliminary report was made here to Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of the National Negro Business League, under whose auspices the survey was conducted. "Many of our business men too often confine themselves only to the Negro market—a field necessarily limited by the wealth and buying power of the group served," the report reads. Cases are cited where Negroos have been able to compete in the open market against all comers. 'These furnish ample evidence that given a thorough knowledge of their businesses with fair capital. Negroes can successfully compete in the open market regardless of the racial factors. This presents the most fruitful field for further expansion." Negro business enterprises, the report reveals, are still predominantly individual enterprises. Especially is this true in the retail field. Too few partnerships exist and not enough corporations. There are, however, many hopeful signs of en- NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1928 operative efforts as indicated in the advancement of the insurance and industrial fields. ing of the founders. 7.

The individual operator, with limited, capitalization, stock, credit, and equipment, is facing a crisis because of chain and cut-rate store competition. This is general throughout the retail field, and is not peculiar to the Negro small merchant. On the other hand, there are outstanding examples of splendid and profitable retail stores operated by individuals. Problems confronting Negro business men as stated by the investigators—Gordon Simpson, Wendell Bolton, Bert M. Roddy and J. H. Harmon—include the following: 1. More adequate financing and credit facilities for legitimate enterprises. 2. More direct and profitable investment of surplus funds of Negro fraternal organizations to the benefit of the race. 3. Elimination of overcrowding of certain fields with small, undercapitalized, poorly managed individual businesses. 4. Appreciation of the value of advertising. 5. Development of new fields of business. 6. The perpetuation of older businesses from one generation to the next. Too many die with the pass- ing of the founders ing of the landers. 7. Specialized training of larger numbers to meet the growing demands of business organizations. "The survey has definitely shown the need for the continued intensive program of the National Negro Business League in the education of our business men and women in business methods of buying, selling, display advertising, budget-making and record keeping," the report states. "The field work has thoroughly convinced hundreds of our business men that the National Negro Business League is rendering a valuable service to them and to the nation in its effort to encourage and stimulate better and larger businesses operated by Negroes." "This survey is a mirror for Negro business." say Albon L. Holey, secretary of the League under whose direction the study was made. "It should show us just where we stand in business—our weaknesses, so that we may work to eliminate them; and our opportunities, so that we may recognize hem and take advantage of them." The Negro business enterprises of the following cities were investigated. Columbus, Macon, Savannah and Atlanta, Georgia; Mobile and Birmingham, Alabama; Pensacola, Jacksonville and Tallahassee, Florida; Charleston and Columbia, South Carolina; Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and Asheville, North Carolina; Knoxville and Nashville, Tennessee; Little Rock, Arkansas; Jackson, Mis- elsipli; New Orleans, Louisiana; Houston and Dallas, Texas; Oklahoma City, Boley, Muskogee and Tulsa, Oklahoma; Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri; Kansas City, Kansas; Indianaapolis, Indiana; Louisville, Kentucky; Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio; Richmond, Virginia. The National Negro Business League, for which the study was made, was founded in 1900 by Booker T. Washington "to promote the commercial and financial development of the Negro."
