CHARLIE THORPE DIES; VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION Complete in Two Sections Booker T. Jr.'s Marital Troubles DANCES, AUTO RIDES AND GAY PARTIES GIVEN AS CAUSES Tuskegee Founder's Son, School Official in California, Says He Has Not Lost Love for His Wife Children Neglected, He Asserts C. LOS ANGELES, Calif., Jan. 21. (A.N.P.)—His wife's desire for a taste of high life and not any penuriousness or cruelty on a own part was responsible for the suit for divorce filed against him, Booker T. Washington Jr. declared in a belated interview here this week. Mrs. Nettie Hancock Washington had the divorce suit entered against her husband several weeks ago, but until this week the son and namesake of the illustrious founder of Tusseygee Institute had refrained from giving any public expression touching upon his domestic difficulties. "I have decided it would be unjust to the name of my father, would serve to compose a cloud over the future of my beloved children, and unappreciative of the interest of my loyal friends for me to remain silent any longer concerning-the false accusations that have been circulated about the estrangement of Mrs. Washington and myself," Mr. Washington explained to the Associated Negro Press reporter. Acknowledging his continued love for his wife, he told a story of their married life that was pregnant with devotion and self-sacrifice, as well as starling revelations. He displayed receipts and other documents as evidence of large sums of money spent, and still being spent, for the upkeep of the Washington household. These disbursements, he feels, make the charge of cruelty and non-support made against him appear absurd. "Shortly after my father's death," Mr. Washington continued, "my wife journeyed to Tuskegee and I gave her, without restrictions, all of the $2,000 from the sale of my father's house. This gift was made long before any differences had arisen, as was also the gift of a $1,700 Buick car for her own use, which she still was. "For some time I have been paying $50 each month to Mrs. J. C. Gordon for the board of the children. During this time she has not made any attempt to look after them, and have been put to the inconvenience of neglecting my business in order to make things pleasant for them. "For the children's Christmas tree and incidentals, aside from their spending money for gifts, and so forth, I paid out $45. "During the time I lived with Mrs. Washington every check I made out was endorsed to her. "Through my generosity she is sole owner of the apartment house in Los Angeles and a suburban home in Sierra Madre, also presented to her some time ago." This Week's News Index Dispossess Proceedings Against Editor Halted by Acceptance of January Rent After having brought dispossess proceedings against William M. Kelley, editor of The Amsterdam News, as a tenant-subscriber of the Paul Laurence Dunbar Apartments, Inc., 2588 Seventh avenue, and after having refused to accept payment of the January instalment when it was tendered by certified check at the Dunbar office last Tuesday, Roscoe Conkling Bruce, resident manager of the apartments, evidently suffered a change of heart and instructed the attorney for the apartments to accept payment, which was done last Wednesday at the office of The Amsterdam News. Washington has for some time past shown great lack of interest in either the children or her home life, outside pleasures occupying her time frequently until the early hours of the morning. Her tastes, according to her husband, seem to have run principally to dances, automobile rides and gay parties. For five years Mr. Washington has held the important position of assistant supervisor of attendance on the Los Angeles School Board.

Smith died in Harlem Hospital within a half-hour and Fitzgerald was placed under arrest on a charge of murder seven hours later. According to the police, "the eternal triangle" was having a little parlor social all their own at the Jones girl's home, when an argument arose between the two youths about 2:50 a.m. on account of jealousy. They began to fight and Fitzgerald is alleged to have drawn a knife and stabbed Smith under the left armpit and escaped from the scene.

The Amsterdam News does not know what happened in the cases of all the tenant-subscribers who have given up their apartments, but it does know what happened in two of these cases, and presents the facts in them as they were found. In neither of these two cases, nor in any other we have heard of, has an accounting been rendered as provided in the subscription agreement, especially as to the amount supposedly paid toward the purchase of stock. Another Editorial on the Dunbar Apartments appears in this issue on the Editorial Page : : : In both of these cases errors of S43.25 and S77.21, respectively, occurred in statements rendered the tenant-subscribers. --- --- Local Preacher, Former Assistant to Mother Zion Pastor, in "Policy" Net Tore Up Policy Slips, Officer Testifies—"Framed," Says Rev.

Mrs. Thompson was dismissed Friday: Prescott was held in $500 bail for Special Sessions on the day of his arrest.

Patrolman Dahlen testified that he stopped the minister in the hallway as he was ascending the stairs and that when he announced that he was a police officer the Rev. Mr. Piggott tore up several policy slips in front of him and declined to give his name. The ecclesiastic denied this, and testified that he went to the place to visit a friend and was in the premises fully five minutes before Patrolman Pruschen searched him and found, he said, no policy slips in his possession. The officers threatened to beat him, he stated, and later Patrolman Dahlen came in from the hallway with some torn slips of paper alleged to be policy slips and said: "We are going to use these against you."

Thomas, former assistant U. S. district attorney, a review was made of all cases of sults against carriers for assaults upon passengers by fel- low passengers since 1988. State laws provide for action against the Interborough or any otber passenger line in the event It does not protect its_ charges. Should the conductor and train guards fall to stop the disorderly passengers, eject them from the train or cail for protection, the dam- aged person fs entitled to'suc. The laws of the State of New York de: clare Law Protects Passengers “ASSAULTS: The carrier ts Mable for the assault of a passen- ger by a fellow passenger, where auch assault could have been pre- vented by the carrier or ils em ployees by the exercise of proper care, but not witere its employees have used due care to protect the passengers from such agsaull, or where the assault is one which could not reasonably have been anticipated by them.” A case paralleling thot of the rum- Jaden U. 3. sailors was disposed of in 1910. The Supreme Cour! heard the contentions in the action of Wascher against the Interborough Rapid Transit Company. These facts were established: The plaintif! was {usulted by another passenger, who was In- toxicated and seated opposite him; and plaintiff left bis scat and appealed to the conductor. who Jaughed at him. He returned to his seat, and the drunken passen- ger kicked him, Te again appeal. ed to the conductor, and again re- turned to hig seat, when he was assaulted and Injured by the drunken passenger. 1. R. T. Held Liable Tn its dectsfon the court ruled that the carrier was liable, that it was the conductor's duty to protect the Passenger by compelling the Intoxl- cated man to bebave himself, or to eject him, and that the passenger wag not guilty of contributory neg- ligenee. ‘A ruling {n 1908: by’ the same court against the same carrier stated: “Where a carrier fails to per- form its duty in preserving order and removing dangerous and offen- sive Persons from a car, it {s Hable for ony injury to other passengers which might reasonably be anticl- pated in view of the —clrcum- stances, and where the fact of the’ riotous conduct of offending pas- sengers Is made known to a guard. it is his duty to avoid injury to other passengers, and he showld suppress the disturbance or re- move the offenders, summoning proper ald, which was at his com- mand, and the company {s liable for lila failure to do #0."

S. 35 "White children sing these songs; I don't see why you black children can't sing them," is the remark alleged to have been made last Monday by Miss VanBenthuysen, music teacher at Public School 35, Brooklyn, when the Colored Glee Club of the school refused to rehearse a mammary song in preparation for the graduation exercises. The music teacher is reported to have accentuated her remark by branishing a strap. The boys of the glee club rose in indignation and walked out of the room, refusing to take any part in the coming graduation exercises. Trouble has been brewing at Public School 35 for some time, according to nearby residents of the school. The school is situated at the corner of Decatur street and Lewis avenue, and in the last seven years many Negro families have moved into the neighborhood. Children have been coming home with reports of petty instances of prejudice shown by the teachers. Officer Chisholm Praised for Merit Recommended for Departmental Recognition—On Promotion List Miss VanBenthuyssen, the music teacher, whose remark precipitated the revolt, is said to have told the principal on another occasion, "If you don't get rid of those black boys I'll resign!" Another white teacher is said to have complained to the principal because a colored boy struck her for calling him a "nigger." Colored pupils have repeatedly declared that they were discriminated against in cases of conduct and in the marking of report cards. Brooklyn Negroes were indignant when they learned that the children were put in a separate glee club, with the excuse that colored boys' voices were too hard for them to sing in company with white boys, when singing rehearsals were due cards were sent about the school calling separately for "the" glee club (white) and the Colored Glee Club It is reported that while "the Glee club was allowed and encouraged to sing any kind of music the Colored Glee Club was practically confined to "mammy" songs and other Southern tunes. Several colored boys had left the Colored Glee Club in disgust and others had refused to join it. About a year ago another storm was caused by the Rev. H. H. Proctor. Complaints had been made of the disorderliness of the colored children at Public School 35, though the children contended that their misconduct was caused by a sense of injustice at constant racial discrimination. The Rev. Mr. Proctor went to the school and asked to be permitted to speak to the colored children. Accordingly, they were all taken from their classes, sent to the auditorium and addressed by him on the subject of behavior. The parents declared that Dr. Proctor, in having the colored children assembled to hear him, had violated the whole spirit of the New York educational system, which permits no color discrimination in the schools. Dr. Proctor told a committee of parents that he was quite satisfied with what he had done and that he would do the same thing again. The parents argued that such an attitude on the part of a prominent minister only encouraged the authorities of P. S. 35 to practise colored discrimination. Charlie Thorpe Dies After Pneumonia Attack (Continued from Page 1) Local 802 of the American Federation of Musicians. The body is resting at Mary Lane's funeral parliars, 112 West 133d street. At press time funeral arrangements had not been completed. Mr. Thorpe was taken ill at his home last Wednesday evening. On Friday Dr. Joseph H. H. Riley, 203 West 131st street, was summoned and he announced that Mr. Thorpe was suffering with pneumonia. The patient's condition became increasingly worse and Dr. Riley attended him twice daily thereafter. Dr. Peter M. Murray, 2288 Seventh avenue, was called in Sunday, and a private nurse was constantly in attendance. When the end came yesterday morning Mr. Thorpe's sister, Dolly, was at his bedside. Mrs. Loretta Thorpe, the children's mother, died about a year ago, after a marriage of about five years. It was announced late yesterday afternoon the religious services for Mr. Thorpe will be conducted at noon Saturday at St. Phillip's P. E. Church, 134th street, near Seventh avenue, and the body interment at Cypress Hills Company. Eforts being made yesterday to have Mr. Thorpe lie in state Friday night at the 369th Regiment Armory, 144th street and Harlem River, but the arrangements had not been completed. Armed With Two Guns. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Jan. 21 (CNS)-Armed with two revolvers, Charles Nichols of East Norwalk awaits further action by the Ku Klux Klan. Fred Cunningham, 22, white, dis- owned son of a wealthy family here, stood his ground with Nichols, refu- sing to leave the Nichols home, where he is boarding. Cunningham is re- ported to be infatuated with one of Nichols' mutatto daughters. Thursday night a flaming cross made its appearance in Nichols' front yard. A voice identifying itself over the telephone as that of a Kluk off- Officer Chisholm Praised for Merit Officer Chisholm Praised for Merit Recommended for Departmental Recognition On Promotion List Already on the list of eligibles for police sergeant and expecting his appointment some time in the near future, Patrolman Lewis Chisholm of the Sixteenth precinct was given a recommendation for departmental recognition Monday by his superior officer, Captain John F. Archopoli. "Meritorious duty performed . . . in a highly intelligent manner," was the report sent to Police Commissioner Whalen under regulations No. 23. The details of the report concerned two arrests for burglary made on Jan. 2 and 6, respectively, by Patrolman Chisholm. The first arrest was that of James Jackson, 26, 38 West 136th street, who was caught in the alleged act of removing bolts of cloth and clothing from the tailor shop of A. S. Blackman, 453 Lenox avenue. Jackson was held without bail for the grand jury on a charge of burglary. The second arrest was that of Nathaniel Boxdale, alias Nathan Barksdale, 20, no home, who is alleged to have broken a window of a shoe store at 484 Lenox avenue, secured a number of shoes and was running from the premisses when arrested. He was also held without ball for the grand jury on a charge of robbery. Bevery Also Commended Another recommendation for meritorious duty performed is the case of Patrolman Haywood Bevery of the same precinct, whom Captain Archiopoll praised very highly for his capture of two alleged purse snatchers in the persons of Willie Cokline, 30, and Frank Brown, 45, no home, but who were found living in vacant Apartment 6 at 27 West 133d street. In Heights Court Friday Magistrate McKinry held them without bail for the Grand Jury on a charge of grand larceny. On Sunday night, January 13, the two men are accused by Martha Ware, 110 West 134th street, of snatching her purse containing $14.40 in the hallway of 115 West 134th street, and making their escape. The following night she complained to Patrolman Bevery on post, and he traced the men to the vacant apartment, where he found them cooking bacon over an oil stove by the light of an oil lamp. One chair was the only other furniture. When taken to the station house they were identified by two witnesses, it is said. Investigation disclosed that the after theft the pair had gone to a speakeasy to divide the spoils and had destroyed the purse and a deed to property in Milwaukee, Wis., which it also contained. Rhodes Also Praised Captain Archiopoli sent to Commissioner Whalen on Saturday a special recommendation for departmental recognition for Patrolman Jasper Rhodes who, in making an arrest on the night of Jan. 14, "acted intelligently, at imminent personal hazard of life and with knowledge of risk assumed." The meritorious duty performed by Patrolman Rhodes concerned the capture of Henry G. Coleman, 25. 2262 Seventh avenue, who is alleged to have held up the store of Rubin Nachamkin, white, 229S Seventh avenue, and took $28 from the cash register, escaped and later the same night robbed Mrs. Eva Fay, white of $41 in the hallway of her home. 259 West 152d street. Coleman is said to have used a gun in each instance. Mrs. Fay complained to Patrolman Rhodes and a search of collars and rear yards was begun. Coleman was finally observed crouching under the front cellar steps, and as the officer closed in on him he is said to have reached into his inside overcoat for his gun. Rhodes grabbed Coleman's arm, disarmed him, and placed him under arrest. Arraigned in Heights Court, Coleman was held without ball for further examination. Coleman first gave his address as Montclair, N. J. cial warned Nichols that Cunningham ham must leave. The voice also threatened Cunningham with a tar- red-and-feathered ride out of Nor- walk. Nichols, who is married to a white woman, announced that he would defi def his home from invasion with two loaded guns. The scheduled Sunday night raid, consequently, failed to take place. Meanwhile, Norwalk ministers are considering the advisability of tak ing some sort of action against Cunningham.

BRAdhurst 7334 Prisoner Freed for Saving Life of Sheriff MOULTRIE, Ga., Jan. 21 (A. N. P.)—Charlie Leverette on Wednesday was just one of the prisoners in the local jail, charged with committing a misdemeanor, but when Charlie emerged from the portals of the jail Thursday afternoon he was a real hero. This transformation came about when Charlie, not only saved the life of the sheriff but also prevented three white prisoners from escaping. The three men attacked the sheriff as he carried them their dinner and were just about to complete the job when Charlie appeared on the scene armed with the sheriff's shotgun. He ordered the whites-back into their cell and kept them covered until the jail arrived. For his heroism he was given his freedom a few hours later. This is the second time during his sentence that he has prevented a jail break. Last week he informed the sheriff that several whites were planning to escape and thus thwarted their efforts. Two Women, Three Men Arrested in Stolen Car Two women and three men were hold without ball for a further hearing by Magistrate Ewald in Harlem Court Saturday, when arraigned on charges of grand larceny involving the alleged theft of an automobile. The five were arrested by Traffic Policeman Edwards, who found them in possession of an automobile which had been stolen from 120th street and Third avenue. The automobile is owned by Louis Dubbin, $10 Hunts Point avenue. The prisoners gave their names as Arthur Clinton, 20, 228 West 14th street; Moses Major, 2355 Seventh avenue; Sarah Childs, 24, 42 West 135th street; Rena Wilson, 156 York street, Jersey City, and Ethel Clarkton, 23, 14 West 136th street. Slashes Three Cops in Chicago "Bull Pen" CHICAGO, Jan. 22.—The placidity with which the Chicago underworld had yielded to the arrest of 3,400 persons in a week-end police cleanup was broken today when a prisoner ran amuck in the bull pen of the Criminal Courts Building and stabbed three policemen before he was shot down by guards. Oscar Monroe, 34, the man shot, was in the bull pen with 300 other prisoners. He drew a large knife and began hacking his way to freedom. He had escaped into a corridor, and was within a few feet of an outer door when guards shot him down. His wounds probably will prove fatal. White Women Seek to Bar Mrs. DePriest WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. — Viewing with alarm the fact that its constitution allowed possible membership by the wife of Oscar DePriest, newly elected Congressman from Chicago, the Congressional Club, composed of women relatives of representatives, is seeking to amend the rules in order to bar the newcomer. The wife of Congressman Vestal of Indiana proposed the amendment that applicants be endorsed by one or more active members of their home States, and another would have the executive member approve the application with no redress in appeal.

The next President Coolidge filled it, su make a fight to regain this offi President Coolidge on January 15 nominated Walter O. Woods of Kansas, who had been the Register of the Treasury since October, 1924, to be the Treasurer of the United States. The Senate confirmed Mr. Woods on that day. On the next day the President nominated Edward E. Jones of Hartford, Pa., to be the Register of the Treasury in place of Mr. Woods. The Senate confirmed Mr. Jones last Saturday. Negro Republican leaders who plead to make a fight to regain this office as a reward for party services will have to wait to wage their battle until the next vacancy occurs. The Register serves at the pleasure of the President, which means that he can continue in office until the White House asks for his resignation. John R. Hawkins, who was the chairman of the voters' division of the Republican national committee in the campaign, has been frequently mentioned for the post. Mr. Hawkins is the financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the president of the Prudential Bank, and a member of the trustee board of Howard University. If Mr. Hawkins should consent to the use of his name in connection with the fight to regain this office, he will be a formidable candidate.

The late President Woodrow Wilson made the gesture of offering the post to Major Adam Patterson, a prominent lawyer, then of Muskegee, Oklahoma, but now of Chicago. He declined the appointment, and President Wilson named Houston B. Tehee, an Indian, who was succeeded by William S. Elliott, white, late in the Wilson administration. The late President Warren G. Harding is said to have promised the office to the late Charles A. Cottrill, a fellow Ohioan, but he broke the precedent followed by Republican Presidents even through the administration of William Howard Taft and named Harley V. Speelman, white, also of Ohio, for the place. President Coolidge followed his predecessor and named Mr. Woods. Chicago Bank Guard And Three Wounded CHICAGO.

The holdup men were reported to be colored and one was believed wounded in the exchange of more than fifty shots.

The hospital's action of ousting Dr. Nurse from his post of adjunct assistant visiting surgeon was formally completed Saturday when he received a letter from the trustee board of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals stating that he had been dropped from the staff roll. No comment upon the situation was made. When interviewed Dr. Nurse admitted receiving the letter and stated that the directing body had no part in the action of the Harlem officials who ousted him. He reiterated his charges that he was dismissed because of feeling aroused thirteen years ago when he was in the forefront fighting for the admission of Negro doctors to the staff. With the North Harlem Medical Society and its membership of seventy lined up by Dr. Nurse, it was apparent today that the petition would ask for an investigation of the dismissed physician's case, of the hospital's attitude toward the Negro doctors, of the Jim-Crow policy in admitting student nurses and interns to Harlem.

Roscoe Conkling Bruce is resident manager of the apartments. William Pickens, field secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., is one of the tenant-subscribers in question. In correspondence with Charles O. Heydt, white, president of the corporation and personal representative of John D. Rockefeller Jr., who built the $3,000,000 proposition, he still contends that he is entitled to a refund of $66.68, which he says he paid toward the purchase of stock in the corporation, after interest and all other charges had been deducted. After making a down payment of $425 on Apartments 5M and 5N at 2816 Eighth avenue, which he occupied for five months—from March to July, inclusive, 1928. Mr. Pickens' Case According to Mr. Pickens' notes, the original debt on the two apartments, or the amount of stock he would have been required to buy on account of the same, was $11,900. The regular monthly payments were $122.50, of which amount $65.93 was set aside for credit on principal and interest. This last anned amount in five months amounted to $349.65. Interest on the unpaid balance of $11,475 at the rate of five per cent for five months amounted to $262.96 which, deducted from $329.65, leaves a balance of $66.68, or the amount he says should he repaid to him. Adding this five months' purchase of stock, $66.68, to the original down payment of $425 made a total of $491.68. These figures were all set forth in a letter from Mr. Pickens to Mr. Heydt under the date of July 27, 1928. Error Admitted An itemized statement under the date of August 23, 1928, was received by Mr. Pickens from Mr. Heyd, reading as follows: Total of down payments, $425; redecoration charges, $140.11; cost of renewing slab, $1; one gas stove to be replaced, $55; cost of restoring partitions in apartment (which were removed before Mr. Pickens moved in). $43.25; balance to Mr. Pickens, $205.66. Immediately thereafter, in a letter dated August 24, 1928, Mr. Heydt wrote Mr. Pickens that he was sorry but that he made an error in computing the deduction to be made from his payment. "The $43.23 (two cents less), which was listed as the cost of restoring the partitions in your apartment was included in the $140.11 for redecoration charges," wrote Mr. Heydt. "The check which is due you, therefore, will be $248.99." On August 27, 1928, Mr. Bruce notified Mr. Pickens that his check was ready, and on August 29 it was mailed to him. Partition Not Restored The odd part of the charge for restoring the partition is that it has not been restored, according to Mr. Pickens, and the balance due him under this alleged condition is therefore $292.12. Mrs. Helen Curtis became the tenant-subscriber for Mr. Pickens' two apartments and took occupancy August 1, 1928, and the place is still being used as one large residence. It is said, without the intervening partition. There are a total of eight rooms and a half. Cost $18 Per Room As matters now stand Mr. Pickens paid an average rent of $18.55 a room per month during the five-month period. This conclusion is reached as follows: Down payment $425.00 Five months @ $122.50 $612.50 Balance $78.61 Divided by 3, rooms: 26 Divided by 3, rooms: 18-52 What About Stock? In Replying to Mr. Pickens' inquiry regarding the amount alleged to be duo him on stock, Mr. Heydt, under the date of September 15, 1925, wrote Mr. Pickens as follows: "With reference to the suggestion in the last part of your letter, that you be credited for payments on principal during the five months which you occupied the apartment, let me say at once that we do not make any such credits until the end of the lease period (three years) and so cannot comply with your request for a credit of $66 on account of the payments which you made. The amount of time which we have given to making it convenient for you to be released from the obligation which you entered into for three years has been very considerable. It could not be measured accurately in money, but there is no doubt that it would far exceed any possible credit that was due you even if you were entitled to it." In a letter to Mr. Heydt dated September 15, Mr. Pickricks declared: "It is no more than fair that all of your 511 tenants should know whether after they have paid for this stock the company is in a legal and moral position simply to conceive it when the tenant makes all SECRET Lincoln 261-269 West 12 Where Refined Colored ALL COMMER SECRETARIAL Lincoln School 261-269 West 125th St., N.Y.C.

Evasion of Terms In direct reply to Mr. Heydt in a letter under the date of September 19, 1928, Mr. Pickens pointed out that as a tenant-subscriber he had already paid for whatever time was consumed in making the transfer of his apartment to Mrs. Curtis. It was also emphasized that Mr. Heydt said nothing about stock until Mr. Pickens raised the question in his letters. Further and great emphasis was placed by Mr. Pickens on the terms of the subscription agreement which states: "In the event of this agreement and the termination of said lease as aforesaid, the owner (corporation) will refund to the subscriber, without interest, all amounts paid by the subscriber under the terms of this agreement on account of the purchase price of said shares of stock herein subscribed for, except on account of Interest on any unpaid balance of such purchase price, less any Intedbtedness due by the subscriber to the owner." Continuing. Mr. Pickens said: "It certainly will be a great revelation to the 511 tenants in the Dunbar Apartment if they learn that you can wipe out their stock with a wave of your hand. If you can lawfully confiscate, without recourse, the stock payments of five months, you could just as lawfully confiscate payments for five years or five decades." At the present writing no settlement or accounting for Mr. Pickens' purchase of stock has been made. As far as the Amsterdam News has been able to determine, no tenant-subscriber who has moved out during the past year has been given any credit or refund on the purchase of stock. Overcharge Protested; $77.21 Refunded The second error on the part of the management was revealed on January 10 when the sum of $77.21 was refunded to the estate of the late Nannie B. Richardson, formerly a tenant-subscriber in the Dunbar Apartments, by the resident management following the protest of an overcharge for redecoration of the apartment by Henry S. Coshburn Jr., 235 Edgecombe avenue, a nephew of the deceased and administrator of her estate. Mrs. Richardson signed a lease for an apartment in February and took occupancy March 1, 1928, after paying a deposit of $250. It was her understanding that the full amount of $250 was to be returned to her at whatever time she saw fit to give up the apartment, it is said. Mrs. Richardson's copy of the lease was never delivered to her at any time, Mr. Coshburn stated. The terms of the lease provide that the tenant pay the costs of decorating the apartment after signing a waiver and moving out, and that they shall also pay rent on the vacant apartment until it becomes occupied by the succeeding tenant-subscriber. These are standard provisions under the law. Mrs. Richardson died October 2. The apartment was vacated October 10. A new tenant-subscriber took possession October 24. Rent for 24 days at $2.333, or $55.99, was charged for Stock Not Mentioned According to Mr. Coshburn not mention was made of refunding any money paid on stock. Before she died Mrs. Richardson signed a waiver. Mr. Coshburn said, relinquishing whatever claim she had in any stock, and giving the corporation permission to sell the apartment to another tenant-subscriber. A statement on December 28, 1925, was given Mr. Coshburn, which included $55.99 rent, plus $172.48 for redecoration of the apartment, and a check for $21.53 was tendered as the balance from the down payment of $250. The resident manager's letter of December 28, 1925, located Mrs. Richardson's apartment at 4-B, 210 West 150th street, but Mr. Coshburn declares the apartment was located at 3-F, 2816 Eighth avenue.

Coshburn Refuses Check Immediately Mr. Coshburn objected to what he considered the exorbitant charge of $172.48 for redecoration, and not only refused to accept the check for $21.58 but demanded an itemized statement of costs. The resident management declined to give him an itemized statement, explaining that they employed their own workmen and that such a statement was unnecessary. Mr. Coshburn complained to Mr. Heydt at the downtown office. An investigation and readjustment was promised. Mr. Coshburn then accepted the check. The following communication under the date of January 10 was received by Mr. Coshburn from Mr. Bruce: "I am exceedingly happy to say that our corporation has just approved a final revised statement in settlement of the account of the late Nannie B. Richardson, so that I am now privileged to hand you a check in the sum of $77.21." Redecoration Costs "Reduced" Receipt of the second check brought the cost of redecorations down to $98.74. Mr. Coshburn asked Mr. Heydt where had the mistake occurred. "There was no mistake," Mr. Heydt is quoted as explaining. "The cost of the redecorations was reduced." Several of the tenants have said that they would like to know how many other cases of this kind have occurred since forty tenant-subscribers gave up their residence in the Dunbar Apartments during the past year. The question has also been asked whether or not there is any reality in the clause contained in the subscription agreement whereby the proceeds from the sale of stock in an apartment that has been sold are to be paid by the corporation to the tenant-subscriber. It's the Tenant's Business In refutation of a statement by Mrs. Clara Burrill Bruce, assistant resident manager, that the resident management was only responsible to Mr. Rockefeller, we quote the following from a letter sent to Mr. Pickens by Mr. Heydt under the date of August 23, 1928: "... The corporation, ... you must remember, does not mean Mr. Rockefeller, but the 511 co-operatives. ... Please bear in mind that we are accountable to all the cooperatives for the proper conduct of this building. Our disbursements are all subject to the inspection of the co-operatives at the end of each year." In a letter to the editor of The Amsterdam News recently, Henry C. Blue, a Dunbar resident in apartment 1-D, 2588 Seventh avenue, took exception to the articles which have appeared in this paper, defended the management of the Bruces, and made several erroneous contentions concerning both the project and the articles. "There is no dark secret about the management," said Mr. Blue, "nor the lack of information to be had." Quite on the contrary. It has seemingly been the definite policy of the Bruces from the very beginning of the project to clock their management in the strictest secrecy from outsiders and to deny information to the press and the tenants of any kind whatsoever, except what they wanted them to have. Mr. Blue is also conspicuously in error in stating that every tenant-subscriber had the opportunity to thoroughly understand the whole project before signing his lease. Even after reading it the average person would not know what it was all about. It numbers 28 printed pages, and is couched in legal phraseology throughout. Intimidation Alleged The present discussion of the Dunbar Apartments and the Bruces recalled to Attorney James P. Ifl, 2376 Seventh avenue, Friday, the alleged intimidation by the Bruces in July, 1825, of Mrs. Rose Renwick, then a tenant-subscriber at West 149th street, whom Attorney Ifl regre- Cashier of Dunbar National Bank Tells of New Institution at Forum Fred D. McCracken, Head of Dunbar Apartments' Operating Staff, Defends Resident Manager and Wife at St. James' Church George C. Loomis, white, cashier of the Dunbar National Bank, 150th street and Eighth avenue, answered a few important questions put to him concerning the bank by Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, president of the St. James' Presbyterian Church Forum, 141st street and St. Nicholas avenue, at its regular meeting Sunday afternoon. Fred D. McCracken, head of operating staff of Paul Laurence Dunbar Apartments, Inc., 2588 Seventh avenue, answered what he inferred was "destructive criticism" of the resident management, although he made no direct reference to the articles and editorials appearing in this publication. Roscos Conkling Bruce, resident manager of the Dunbar Apartments, gave an interesting lecture on the same, profusely illustrated with lantern slides. Mrs. Clara Burrill Bruce, his wife, and assistant resident manager, spoke inspiringly on the subject of "Economic Emancipation of the American Negro," stressing the vital need of inspiring the Negro youth to great achievements. Dr. Coleman's first question contained the direct implication that the funds of Negro depositors at the Dunbar Bank are being loaned to white people, and that the Negro is therefore not getting the greatest benefit from his deposits. In reply Mr. Loomis stated that the bank has made many mortgage loans to Negro home owners with Dispossess Proceedings Halted by Payment (Continued from Page 1.) cashier, refused to accept the check when it was tendered. Mr. Bruce was not in the office at the time, but upon his return wrote Mr. Kelley that tender of payment had been made "during the absence of any person authorized to accept the same." Atty. James W. Johnson accepted the check for the corporation the next day. Payment was also accepted by Attorney Johnson fr. U. S. Poston, a real estate broker, whose wife, Sybil Bryant Poston, is secretary in the editorial offices of the paper, and who had also been served with a dispossesse on January 10. Mr. Kelley contends that the dispossess proceedings were started by Mr. and Mrs. Bruce as a retaliatory measure to intimidate him in the discharge of his duties as editor of The Amsterdam News. He also asserts that the proceedings were brought contrary to the terms of the subscription agreement. scented when she was served with a dispossess by the Bruces. When the case was heard in the Seventh District Municipal Court, 320 West 125th street, Mr. Bruce is quoted as having announced in open court that it was not the rent arrears he was trying to recover but the repossession of the apartment. The judge is said to have replied, "Well, you can't get it this way." After the arrears were paid up Mr. Bruce insisted that Mrs. Renwick pay $25 which he said were legal costs of the dispossession proceedings and chargeable to the tenant-subscriber. Attorney III insisted that notwithstanding section 2 in article IV of the subscription agreement—which does not, however, set the costs at any specific figure—Mr. Bruce was entitled to only $3. This amount, even, Mr. Bruce had failed to ask for in open court it is said. There followed thereafter a number of petty annoyances by the Bruces, it is reported, in their effort to cause Mrs. Renwick to move. In one instance, one of the Dunbairn Apartment guards is said to have entered her apartment late at night with a pass key. When Mrs. Renwick demanded his reason for the intrusion he is said to have replied that he only came there to look over the apartment. Mrs. Renwick finally moved, and the charge of $25 for legal fees was taken by the Bruces, it is reported. Attorney 101 said Friday that Mrs. Renwick failed to place the matter of recovering this fee in his hands. The country’s greatest trumpet player,... Louis Armstrong, plays his sensation in Blues...

Dr. Coleman's first question contained the direct implication that the funds of Negro depositors at the Dunbar Bank are being loaned to white people, and that the Negro is therefore not getting the greatest benefit from his deposits. In reply Mr. Loomis stated that the bank has made many mortgage loans to Negro home owners without any charge for a broker's fee. He explained, however, that loans are not made in excess of 50 per cent of the appraised value of property, thereby protecting the depositors' money. To Dr. Coleman's question as to how "the poor man" is served by the bank, Mr. Loomis said that although it is not the general practice of commercial banks to make loans GRADUATE NURSES TO HAVE ANNUAL SERVICE The fourth annual get-together service of Negro graduate nurses of New York City will be held at St. Philip's P.

The public is invited to the service. to salaried people, the Dunbar Bank had done so in a number of instances. He also mentioned Mr. Rockefeller's announcement of the sale of bank stock to the public. Mr. Loomis then read a condensed statement of the bank's condition for the period ending December 31, 1928, as follows: RESOURCES. Loans and discounts.....$1,014,916.01 United States Gov't bonds owned.....420,000.00 Mortgages and investments.....73,463.57 Cash and due from banks.....339,425.49 Other assets.....45,747.70 Total.....$1,693,554.77 LIABILITIES.

Joseph D. Higgins, white, 13 president. Some mention of discountary on the part of one of the bank employees prompted Mr. Loomis to ask that any complaint of discountary be brought directly to him. "There are three reasons for which I will discharge any bank employee," said Mr. Loomis. "First, dishonesty; second, inefficiency, and third, discountary." Criticism Answered "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world," Mr. McCracken quoted, adding that it also ran the Dunbar Apartments in the person of the "splendid, smart and brilliant" Mrs. Bruce. "It would be foolish for me to say that the Dunbar Apartments are a success," he said. "Go to any of its 512 families and let them tell you. It must be a success when 500 applicants are begging and pleading to gain entrance daily." He referred to the project as the ideal one on housing conditions in the world, and said that in relieving housing conditions in Harlem to the extent which he has, John D. Rockefeller Jr. is at least entitled to a word of credit and thanks for doing for the Negro what he was unable to do for himself. Mr. McCracken further emphasized the success of the Dunbar project by stating that an England's landlord over 30,000 families made a tour of inspection of the Dunbar Apartments and declared them to be "the country's Miss. Negro Town Abolished Lockup Mound Bayou Has Had Only One Arrest in Six Years MOUND BAYOU, Miss., Jan. 14.—(P. N. S.)—The abolition of the jail at this city, composed entirely of Negroes—a little over 3,000—brings to the attention of the Nordic world the crimeless reputation of this municipality officered entirely by Negroes. According to the published record, only one arrest has been made in Mound Bayou in six years and it has been over twenty years since a murder has taken place in this community. Mound Bayou was founded in 1857 by Isiah T. Montgomery, who is said to have been a bodyguard of Jefferson Davis of the Confederacy. Montgomery was employed by a railroad company to sell land in the Mississippi Delta. Mr. Montgomom outstanding housing project in the world." "So impressed was he," said Mr. McCracken, "that he offered Mrs. Bruce a position in London similar to the one she now holds. That is my answer to whether or not the Dunbar Apartments are successful. "It is easy to criticise, especially people in public life, and people are thin-skinned if they resent it. Constructive criticism is one thing, and destructive criticism is another. All of us are open to suggestion and appreciate any friendly advice by which we can improve our service." Through the effort of his department, the personnel manager said, the Dunbar Apartments have earned from Mayor Walker, the Chief Tenement House Inspector, and the National Secretary of the Janitors' Association the reputation of being the cleanest and most sanitary housing project in America. The success of the Dunbar project will be the inspiration for the establishment of similar ones in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and St. Louis, Mr. McCracken said. ery and a cousin of his purchased a large tract of the delta land and began selling lots exclusively to Negroes. This was the beginning of Mound Bayou, which was incorporated in 1893 with Mr. Montgomery as its first Mayor. This town is governed by a mayor and a board of aldermen, who are elected every two years by popular vote. Two officers—a marshal and a deputy sheriff—direct law enforcement and many of the inhabitants of the town have grown from childhood to manhood and womanhood without ever having seen a uniformed policeman. Because of the well-nigh absence of crime, the city council has abolished the prison, stating that it is a "needless expense" to the community. Jealous Husband Held as Wife Slayer (Continued from Page 1.) According to the police, the couple had separated and in the meantime Mrs. Dover became acquainted with Eladio Medemtem, 145 West 130th street. When the husband saw them together in front of the wife's home Sunday evening he forced her into the hallway, where they quarrelled violently. Dover drew a knife and cut his mate's throat just above the collar bone, the police said, and fed to his home where he was later arrested. Mrs. Emma Foster, landlady at the 123th street address, telephoned for the police. Dr. Kaplan was summoned from Harlem Hospital and pronounced the nurse dead on arrival. Another Wife Slayer Felt Justified Another wife slayer, James R. Keeling, 42, 2 West 136th street, who said he felt justified in his act, was sentenced to from 20 years to life early last week, after pleading guilty to murder in the second degree before Judge Levine in General Sessions. "I think I did the right thing and I'm willing to take my medicine," said Keeling, who is now the widower of six children. The murder occurred on October 21 last Keeling accused his wife of unfaithfulness. His children are aged 8, 13, 15, 16, 19 and 20—four sons and two daughters. The couple had been married 20 years. --- S·O·C·I·E·T·Y The more cultivated portion of any community in its social relations and influences.—Webster.

The Feminist Viewpoint —~——A Worthwhile Survey— FHENEVER conditions warrant that ai change in W our existing statutes is necessary and advisable . to “insure domestic tranquillity,” that change is talked about, recommended and eventually made. . ‘The committee on correction of the Women’s City Club: of New York published on Monday the results of a study of'child and youthful marriages in New York County. Ac- cording to the report, seventy-five “child brides,” or girls under 16, were married in this county during 1925 and 1926, About one-third of the marriages were pusuccges- ful; of a group of twenty-four, not one’ remained \with ‘her husband longer than two years; the husbands are often much older than their brides. 7 What does the committee recommend? An amendment to the existing law, requiring that in addition to parents’ permission for the marriage of 14 or 15-year-old girls per- mission, also be obtained from a judge of the Children’s Court; that a law. similar to the one in force in Connecti- cut and New Jersey, requiring a period of delay, preferably of five days, between the application for a marriage license and its issuance, be passed. Of the seventy-five major “child brides” considered, 11 were Negroes, 12 were foreign born, and 2, were 13, 11 were 14 and 62 were 15 years old. .

TRACK STARS PLACE IN MEET --- Edwards Defeat Great Surprise — Moore Third in "3,000 Metres Special" Last Saturday the fifteenth annual of the "Brooklyn College Thousand," feature at the 15th Regiment Armory last Saturday night, produced the greatest sensation of the eveings when Phil Edwards, premier college athlete for Yale,引领 college champion, was nosed out of a virtual victory by Jimmy Kennedy, Georgetown freshman, and Sam Martin of the Boston A. A. in the second round. Edwards, who was conceded victory prior to the meet, took the lead at the bark of the gun and set a pace that he kept until, reaching the Martin coming from the rear made his bid. The two runners batted neck and neck down the straightaway, Edwards holding the lead as he ran toward the stretch for the tape, the two fought valiantly, neither willing to concede the other's superiority, but right at the tape, with a miraculous burst of speed, came Kennedy from the stretch, winning by more inches, Martin taking second and Edwards third. Gus Moore, national and metropolitan cross-country champion, contributed his share of excitement to the program when the Brooklyn youth kept pace, step for step, with Paavo Nurmi for ten laps, as the Phantom Finn opened his second American Invasion at three thousand metres. Moore, no doubt, saw one of his dreams visualize—being matched against the "Poorless Paavo," for four years ago, when Nurmi made his first visit here, establishing records at almost every meet in which he participated, the colored lad was only a seventeen-year-old schoolboy. The eyes of 6,000 spectators were centered on the two runners, as lap after lap the youngster hung doggedly at the floating heels of the six-time Olympic champion and at one time actually sprinting shoulder to shoulder with the Finn. For ten laps they stuck together, until but four laps to go Nurmi summoned his "reserve" and with his loping action began to pull away from the tiring y-ngster. From then on the race was a surety for Nurmi—as he proceeded to win by a hundred yards or more, in the record time of 7 minutes and 43.25 seconds. Ove Anderson, also of Finland, coming from the ruck passed Moore on place of grasping second place from the local. Cooke Stages Comback.

The score 200-41 gave proof of the form displayed in the game, preparing for the world's championship tournament next month. He had runs of 63, 53, 28, while Holland had 12, 10 and 17, while Holland had 7. The game, Mr. Horemans gave an amazing exhibition of trick billiard shots, which gave the local fans quite a few Thursday night, Jan 24.

The Blue Birds were behind 54 as the end of the first quarter. They battled the quintet to an 11-11 Ue at halftime. The visitors steadily forged ahead in the third period.

I have never known any man in colored baseball to use Nat Strong to personal advantage. It can't be done. Commandeurs Ready for Heavy Series of Games PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 22. — A strenuous series of basketball games faces the Commanders. In fact Chick Edwards, manager of the team; has planned one of the most pretentious schedules for the up-towners that has ever been attempted by a Philadelphia club. Edwards announces that all arrangements for the Commanders to play twenty of the best teams in the country has been made, and that Carlisle or Washington and Lincoln University will appear here along with the strongest teams available. While the Commanders will play at the Waltz Dream Hall for the rest of the season as the most actively integrated team in six games at the Broadway, three at the Y, W. C. A. and three at the Y, W. C. A. About eight more games are listed for the Waltz Dream The Commandeurs' home schedule is filled but many first-class teams not now on the schedule will be ready booked before the season is over. All first-class teams are requested to communicate with Charles Edwards, 181 West 135th street, New York City, for games with the Commandeurs' fold last week, giving the club three pairs. Al Thomas the giant of the Thomas family, and the tallest of the six feet tall, are the latest addition. The Gorgas and the Edwards brothers have been a fixture in the Commandeurs' line-up all season. Okness at the play post has been the tallest in the fall invading fences which closed with the Commandeurs this season. Burnett has been playing a hard game but just can't get the grade as water, while Bronston lacked coverage. Al Thomas is lanky but clever and young. Above all he is gifted splendidly in the Commandeurs' line-up, up first. Al Thomas will play the Commandeurs in Philadelphia March $ next. Rivals Whip All Stars The Rivals, strong 125-lb. team of the Columbus Hill N. C., defeated the Stars, M. A. of a score from the level Y. M. of a score of 42-29.

About all the owners of the teams associated in the new league have been through the sharp periods and dull periods of the business, and by this time should come very near knowing their onions. I am not going to attempt to advise nor criticise. I am not looking for resentment nor ridicule. But the league, as now proposed, has created such a favorable impression that we can't grasp the idea of the solicitous invitation to the heretofore storm center of colored baseball, Nat C. Strong, to join in the re-establishment of the game in the interest of owners and ballplayers. There is nothing in the game that appeals to the gentleman above mentioned but Mr. Strong. If members of the new league think they can use the storm center of colored baseball for especially those who have had with him should have another mirage of colored baseball has mns of disaster and has stood by fire. There is not a man in the much money from colored ball- he is the least interested in its gentleman is the thing he has like him High Lord and Ruler of him arrange the schedule, books and fire ballplayers. If there ary value that the league could fight with Mr. Strong. I have never known any man Strong to personal advantage. RENS MANAGER DOING NICELY Bob Douglas Expected to Leave Hospital for Home This Week Not only athletic circles, but everywhere in the country where "Smilin' Bob" Douglas had contact, but doing so is doing no good. Joy the news that he is doing so is doing no good. Pitheal he is expected to return home this week. But for the fact that Douglas has always taken good care of himself he would still sit in his office, recuperated in such a short time he has astonished even his physicians and with a complete rest during the next few weeks he will again be in the office with his insuperable "seegar" hold at a raikish angle between clenched teeth. One of the most remarkable outfits that Douglas was shown in the hundreds telegrams which reached his home commencing twenty-four hours after the Amsterdam News, and the exclusive story of his fitness and the streets of this city. A man who has never sought the limelight for himself, Douglas had ever the youngsters' importing paper and the papermakers' attention. Although his time and efforts have been centered on keeping together the world's colored basketball dougles, Douglas always found time to give the youngsters the first and the first night of his appearance to again direct his men on the court will be proof sufficient of the younger generation maintaining the greatest squaro shooters in athletics. Letters and telegrams also came from some of the men in athletics seeking information about the condition of the manager of the Renaissance Five. That we are in a position to today assure his friends that we are proud to call friend. It will hearten those so fond of a manager whose every action has left nothing to be desired and whom the writer is proud to call friend. It will hearten those so fond of a home when he arrives at 1315 street and Seventh avenue again.

The Indians had been cutting quite a figure in basketball circles during their trip East, but before the Renaissance team they were just another team. The scored champions lost little time in the game to a lead at the start of game, and with the score 10 to 2, Capt. Scocum sent in Hill and Moore to replace Sanders and Ricks. Sanders and Ricks were brought on to the end of the half, which ended 19 to 10 in Renaissance's favor.

Morgan College Continues To Set Court Pace The basketball team of Morgan College demonstrated to the West Virginia Five, the students and several hundred spectators why it ranks at the top of collegiate basketball by decisively defeating a well coached and strong team with a nine point lead. The score was 31 to 22 and the contest was a stubborn and then a decisive victory. As has been the case in most Morgan victories, the Bears' defense was so strong that Institute got precious few shots from near the goal line, necessarily to shoot at long range. The first half ended by the score of 16 to 15 with institute leading, and the second half was won by three field goals for institute in this half. Jack Spencer made two field goals for Morgan and shot three fouls in this half. Institute com- mitted ten percent of the last period which prevented many possible field goals by Morgan. Shortly after the second half had be- come overtaken, Morgan was never again overtaken. During the last few minutes of play the Morgan Bears passed around their opponents with dazzling accurate visitors played a stellar game, while Lanky Jones and Pinky Clark tied for high honors with nine points each.

S. 89 IN FINE SHOWING --- Cops City Championship and Registers Second to Brooklyn School At the Elementary Schools Indoor Track and Field Championship Games, held at the Thirteenth Regiment Armory, in Brooklyn, on January 12, P. S. 89 of Manhattan made a wonderful showing by winning the championship of the city and finishing second to P. S. 9 of Brooklyn in the City Championship or Manhattan, by the close margin of 1 point. P. S. 89 holds the outdoor track and field championship of Greater New York; the relay championship of the entire city, and a Hudson district indoor championship. The showing of this school in the city track meets is noteworthy, because of the fact that it has been forced to compete against not only the 6-B schools of the city, but the 3-B schools, as well. As 89 is only a 6-B school, its showing has been truly remarkable. The individual championships held by members of the school are as follows: 70-Yard Dash-Won by D. Jackson. 70-Yard Dash-Won by Edward Harley. 220-Yard Relay-Won by L. Thompson, Fred Richardson, Norman Mitchell, Eddie Williams. 360-Yard Relay, S-5ound Class—Wor y M. Andrew, Alex, Flitzer-Winn, Wm. St. Ken, R. Bacon, R. Relay, 90-5ound Class—Wor y M. J. Tulip, W. Nichols, Clarence Hales, Gilbert Brandon. Other medal winners were: W. Lebly, second in 30-yard push; J. Roberta, sec- ond in 100-pound high jump; Hubert J. Roberta, second in 100-pound jump; Wm. Haines, second in 100-pound dash; Wm. Chase, second in 90-pound broad; 90-pound rush, 360 yards, third place, C. Ward, Clarence Terry, M. Per- kins, J. Mitchell.

GANS RETURNING EAST WITH BODY GANS RETURNING EAST WITH BODY Former Newspaperman Was One of Finest in the Game According to a wire received today, Baby Joe Gana, the well-known California boxer, will arrive in New York Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. Instead of coming here for conference mission is a sad one. He is accompanying the body of his late business manager, Larney Litchenstein, who passed away last Wednesday in Los Angeles, Calif., after a short illness. Those who knew Larney did not have to wait until his death to sing his praises. A keen business man knew he and boxing games from all its ants and bees conducted the business of his boxers in a quiet and gentlemanly way and always on the square, the passing of his veteran is mourned by the many people who knew him and respected him. Larney Lichtenstein with “Chrooke”: Tom Cox held a partnership managerial contract with Baby Joe and developed Baby Joe into main event and championship timber and then a little over two years ago took Larney in as a partner to arrange the tour. The average boxing fan knows how well Larney has succeeded. Under his business management Gans has built up a small fortune, having huge purses in the largest arenas in the United States. Larney did not realize his one greatest ambition, and that was to champion of the world. The body of Larney Lichtenstein will be laid in its final resting place some New York cemetery, the name of which will be announced later. TIGERS WIN AND LOSE ON TRIP Carlisles of Washington Beaten by Jerseyites, Who Lost to Morgan Carlisles of Washington Beaten by Jerseyites, Who Lost to Morgan the fast-tossed Tuxedo Tigers made a gallant attempt to continue their winning streak when they defeated the Oakland Athletics at the Lincoln Coliseum last Tuesday night 34 to 28 and then stepped over to Baltimore and met defeat by that powerful steam-roller aggregation. In meeting the Washington quintet the Tigers used a seasoned team of long standing and well known shouts and cheers of the several hundred fans that packed the hall to urge their team to victory the night before and right even the inch of the way to victory. The game opened with the District of Columbia boys getting the jump and scoring eight points before the game was interrupted. However, the Tigers were able to score five baskets and two fouls, ending the half 15 to 12, thus enjoying the three point lead. At the beginning of the second half it was seen that the Tigers were outplaying the Bears in elimination. Both teams made a period of the game fast and spurious. As the teams went into the last quarter the Tigers were trailing six games behind the Bears in kind of basketball they are famous to demonstrate in coming from behind, the Tigers not going and with Work, Jordan and Young snatched the ball Washington foes to whip 34 to 28. Davis and Costes were the leading scorers for Carlisle while the Tigers were the scoring machine against the Capitol City boys. Work performing in left forward is credited with seven field baskets for the Tigers. Elated over this victory the Tigers not the Morgan College Bears on the following night. The result of travel and the hard going the fight before told on "Mans" Hill's boys.

On Jan. 4 the Wildcats journeyed to Atlantic City and received a sound spanking from an aggressive team against the Wildcats against De Hart, in which the Bordentown Cubs were troubled by the "Y" Reserves to the tune of 32:15.

A big arena of young talent will put on a real theatrical show, from start to finish. So many graduates of Grace Giles' school are making good on Broadway; but the latest to go big is Nina MacKenney, chosen by King Vidor to take the lead in his picture, "Inlehulah" and see some other future stage and screen stars. Program 8:30 sharp, opening with a musical skit, "A Persian Market." EIGHT THE historian who will record the activities of that institution known as the metropolitan daily newspaper, if he is inclined to be fair, will devote many pages to an indulgence of these journals for their attitude towards a goodly part of the population of this country. Many of these papers, assuming to be friendly towards the Negro, have conducted a most insulting campaign to hamper and belittle the work of many Negro men and women of the stage, and it is only on those occasions when they cannot help it that they join in the shouts of acclamation by the European press. Williams and Walker had to have the stamp of approval placed on their worth by the Court of St. James, where American woke up to the realization that the officers were the rivals of the best produced by the white race in their line. Fort Williams died after he had attained the prominence of America's leading comedian. "Johnny Spielt Auf," the jazz opera, with its Negro hero at the Metropolitan Opera House, serves as another example not only of the cowardly action by those responsible for its production in departing from the real artistic trend sought by the writer of the piece, but of the wilful lies, directly and indirectly of its showing in Europe by the white woman, who never a reader is led to believe thatause a Negro appeared in the leading role with a white woman there were riots. Half truths employed for any purpose are as base as whole lies. True, there were riots surrounding the showing of "Johnny Spiff Ault" with its Negro hero, but the plots were caused by enthusiastic crowds seeking entrance to the theater, and the play was playing Berlin, Germany. And no play the play is in New York, with all kinds of excuses being made for not allowing the creator of the principal role or some equally talented Negro to appear in the part, the reaction of some of the local critics would be funny, if it was not so tragic. One goes out of his way to remark that Europeans have the idea that only colored men can conduct jazz, meaning which if you read between the Negro hero and the human beings allowed to show up the human traits of civilized beings thrown together. Well show our impartiality by admitting that there are scores of white jazz leaders, and good ones at that; but it was the Negro that set Europe to jazzing, and what nature natural than that; the hero of jazz was the Negro, the uppermost in the people's mind when it comes to the association of jazz? Thousands of mulattoes in this country prove better than anything we can say of the inconsistency of the white American's prejudice especially when further proof comes from the hybrid came via the white man. These white newspapers which have done so much to discredit the Negro also led many to believe that Josephine Baker's appearance at certain theatres on the Continent always called for an armed guard to accompany the former chorus girl who would imagine that it was because of an aversion, a certain distaste to the appearance of Miss Baker. Another life insidiously used for propaganda against the Negro. The real truth of the matter was that white men pursued the American colored girl in such large numbers she had no peace. Fortunately for her he had to be in Europe, and not certain sections of her own Southland. dear old Dixie—dear because of what it has cost the Negro. Like wild beasts white men have stormed the railway cars in which colored shows of a not very distant day have toured certain sections of the city. One of the girls had to have police protection to and from the theatres where they were showing. Some of these writers on the daily papers would do well to become better acquainted with Harlem and see how certain white men in the world of the theatre have maintained their Nogro paramounts in lavishly furious dress, jewelry and high-powered cars that would make many a white chorus girl turn green with envy. There are even cases where these girls have been taken from the chorus and, with promises of sardon, lavished their affections upon certain women, and the fact that their history in the black belt is carefully filed away, with abundant proof in the offices Announcing the Opening OF JIMMIE MARSHALL'S Theatrical Enterprises No. 225-225 WEST 160th ST.

Cora Green appeared as the star of "Broadway Showboat," at the Lafayette Theatre this week. A capacity audience applauded and cheered her at the opening matinee on Monday, voicing their unbound joy in this newest of Broadway revues and the Galenstar star. "Ebony Showboat" is indeed Earl Dancer's best creation. We do not know just success, but "Ebony" was on Broadway, but if "Ebony Showboat" ever reaches that renowned thoroughfare it is bound to have a longer run. Miss Green is a stunning picture on the stage. Mr. Dancer has gathered a very impressive cast around Cora Green. There is. Maud Russell, the Slim McGee, and the rest, less than thousands in the expensive night clubs of the city and who also has been successfully cast in several broadway hits. The concert is produced by Lloyd Joyce, the director of Smith, young woman who has a splendid music and dramatic acting. Grant, the Birmingham Four and Walter Brosnall, provide some beautiful dialogue while imprint Billy Yarho adds a snail and zest to the chorus numbers which is a rare treat. There is also one fine specie, the tip dance. There is fine specie, the tip dance. There is fine specie, the tip dance. Injigorating music from the long piano in the pit comes from the Lighting fingers of Mable Riley. "Ehony Showboat" is by far one of the best revues that has come to the Lafayette Theatre this season, as well as as the feature, Richard Barthelness latest production. "Out of the Rules." of many a Negro newspaper. Many intelligent colored men and women look with justifiable contempt upon the efforts of white writers always trying to discredit the Negro; for, as Hamilton has truthfully said, persevering medicocity is much more respectable and unsuspectably more useful than talented inconsistency. Too, what we have disclosed in the preceding chapters should make the Negro champion the cause of the race, and not the man he does, for it is only the Negro newspaper that will consistently try to give him the tru' about himself, it is only jackasses of the race who will bray or not reading Negro newspapers. Enough for this day. SEMINARY WINS FROM HOWARD LYNCHBURG. Jan. 19. — The Lightning team of the Seminary continued its stride to gain the C. I. A. this year when she defended the highly touted Howard Bisons by the score of 24 to 13. The game was hard fought and thrilling through roughness on the part of occasional Seminary drew first blood when Henderson made a field goal after the game had been in progress for three minutes, followed with one by Boll in rapid succession. The locals had 4 points to their credit before Howard was able to score one and this was made of three shots, who made a field out of three shots. Thomas and Henderson and one by Davis were made before Howard was able to score one from the field. He made the only field goal for the score made the first half 15 to 6. Howard was able to stop Seminary from scoring so fastly in the half. White and Henderson made up half of the goals, but the rest of the points were made on fouls. Hinton and Woods were able to score a goal each for the visitors. "Shim" Henderson was the leading scorer of the game, with goals and one foul. He was followed closely by Slim Thomas. Seminary new forward from Washington. He was only in the game a goal being forced out by an injury. Henderson made three goals. The leading scorer of visitors were Beasley and Contes, who made two goals and one foul, the guarding of Bell, Fowler and Hinton was excellent. The Seminary that has been seen and the floor work of Contes and Woods of Howard was very good. Iffrars went out of the game on perforations and Simpson was banished to the very roughness. The score and lineup were NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1929 At Harlem Theatres By OBSERVER The Lincoln Theatre never opened on a Monday afternoon to a more auspicious start than that which marked the appearance of Andrew Mason, the head of the dramatic playlets, and John Mason and "Dusty" Fletcher holding down the comedy end of the revue part of the entertainment at Mrs. Downs' theatre this week. Mrs. Downs' theatre, after a long absence, much was made of his return to New York, and for many weeks he lived up to a reputation built in the early days of the drama, after he "The Old Man's Boy." His career went over nicely and it is expected that the company will remain at the Lincoln for at least four weeks, with a splendid chance of being a regular part. Mason and Fletcher also spent many months entertaining in these parts, and the size of the Monday night audience proved that it was a rare stroke of business that the management displayed in bringing the comedy to the Laffyette at this time. The intensely interesting and dramatic atmosphere that is bound up in the book is brought on the screen one of the greatest stories of journalism ever made. It is "Freedom of the Press," and is a film version of an anthology of the book, titled *It Kills. This is the big feature film offering coming to the Lincoln for the latter half of the week, commenting in a humorous way, that between the cruel forces of the sword and the mighty power of the pen is the dramatic theme upon which the picture is based, the sword is used, the sword and the columns of a large newspaper is the pen. Not even the love of the underworld king's sword is the story of the newspaper publisher can bring anity between the two forces. AT THE ALHAMBRA The Alhambra Drama Players this week have a welt sort of play, "A Man's Conscience" which brings out acting of a type that has all Harlem to the fore. George Landot, the governor of a state, is pursued by haunting visions of a crime he committed years ago. Finally, in a dream trial, justice in his bitterness form is met out, and the old spirit alist and hypnotist, gives an amazingly true performances. Susie Sutton and Al F. Watts are neighbors in the governor's old home town. Radiant Eda Harris is his daughter. Ted Blackmon, her father, Arte with a pert madd.

"The Terror" at Lafayette The second all-talking Vitaphone picture will be shown at the Lafayette Theatre next week. It is "The Terror." An unusually funny musical comedy created and presented by Filly Mitchell will be the stage program for the week. "The Terror" is said to be one of the greatest pictures ever made. Every line is spoken. All the sounds - which naturally seize throughout the action - are played by the actors, is heard by the audience—the walling of the storm, shots in the dark, the unearthly playing of an organ which cannot be found, blood-curling cries for help us the Terror eludes the cleverest detectives of Scotland Yard and leaves the city in disarray. It is said to be the highest print yet reached in the amazing development of talking pictures. The cast of "The Terror" includes May McAvoy, Louise Fazenin, Edward Brennan, John F. Franks and other star celebrities. "Spilling the Beans" is the title of the musical comedy which will be presented on the same program with "The Terror." This is also said to be one of the funnest musical comedies of the century, with a cost of three thousand performers.

Snyder Makes Bid For Patronage Colored People to Be Welcome at New Long Island Theatre Raymond Snyder, former manager of the Lincoln Theatre on 135th street, has waffled his fair wand over the town of St. Albans, L. L., and ordained that a "Temple of the Heart" will bring happiness to thousands of amusement seekers during his career. The new theatre will be christened the "Raymond," located on 115th avenue and Merrick road. Mr. Snyder inside a thorough survey of St. Albans about four thousand colored people living in the immediate vicinity of this exclusive Long Island town. The policy of the new theatre will be first class motion pictures and "naphone talkles." The "Hayward of 1,250" and is constructed from the plans of Charles A. Sandbloom, a New York architect who is credited with the architecture of the Embassy Theatre in New York, which now houses the building proper will be two stories with eight stores. The facade will be of a tasteful design created by clever craftsmans with tapestry trick. Mr. Snyder will open the house about March 15, bringing a high class all talkle and silent feature. The interior of the theatre will rival that of any theatre of its type. Marble columns said to have been brought from Italy, the finest imitation gilt, will be used and gold decorations will combine in display to thrill the patrons of the new playhouse. The latest Marr and Colton organ, as now used in the most exclusive theatres, will be fashioned and suitable accompaniment for the screen gems to be displayed. "The comfort of our patrons means more to us that the extra dollar in the box office," declared Mr. Snyder. "That is one of the real benefits of our space between rows of seats. A patron can pass in or out without crawling over those in his seat; also the fat man can at least breathe without fear of tossing his neighbor from the 25th seat for we have enrolled the 25th seat. On the opening night Mr. Snyder expects to have a number of colored people who are extensive property owners near St. Albans and surrounding towns. Popular prices are the motto of this new house, it being the largest in the size equipped for the all talking features in this section. 120th Street o ALHA NOW I THIS GRIPPING DRAMA BY A MAN'S CO A Crime of Years Ago Rises of a HEAR the Haunting Sleigh B Before a Court o GEO.

They're Modest THERE is probably nowhere in the metropolis an aggregation of scintillating talent less spoiled than the colorful principals who nightly lead the orchestra, or terrifying at the Ettlinga Theatre. To have a big show written about him or her, or even to shine at the head of a snappy revue alone, much less have her name decorate a theatre. Such a set not at all within the calculations of the ringleaders of Lew Leslie's joy festa. "Let me not originate the steps of a nation," says Smiling Bob Robinson and I care not who makes his front page of the newspaper. Singing is not to hold the stage all by my jonesome but to have the rest of the company join in and follow in my footsteps. The skirts on which I dance make the only ladder of fame I care to mention. Aldr. Ward's idea of outstanding personal triumph is to win hearts to her singing rather than to be rated a famous songbird. "The more I can get out of my singing for myself, the more I can come to love it." The little voice is just a birthday gift and I love to use it. It may never make the grade to grand opera, but it's a happy little voice just the same, and at a minute, I am never going to take it too seriously. I have to him try and make it work miracles. They say the voice with the smile who —that's my idea of the best success"— stars should cluster together and help each other shine by reflected light. "I like good comedians and other accomplished funniakers to work with" says a star when they see the variety of our talents. That, to my mind, is the secret of the success of our revue. It might be some other musical show, but I think if they want to attract attention, "Blackbirds of a feature should flock together."

Patience, they say, le one of the world's greatest virtues and we are trying our beat to employ it while waiting for what the Germans used to call ‘Der Tag’ when they raised thelr glasses on high in daya before the war.” Basking in the limelight and spending with a prodigality sometimes criminal, the Negro actor is at his wits-end a week after-he closes with some shaw. Since he is of such a nature. one would imagine he would gladly rally to the forming of an organization which would help: to save him from himself. Many of the so-called producers draw almost all the. money, coming to them for a week’s show before it opens. and at the end of the engagement the people in the company are left hold- ing the bag. Organize, organize, ORGANIZE! It is the only salva- tion jor the actor. The ills which so many speak of at the present time can he corrected over night if they would only organize, We confess that the article giving an interview with Miss Mac Whitman of the Whitman Sisters, reproduced in our last issue, is just as meaningless as anything can be, but it made good reading, and we ran it with the hope of centering attention on the ills of the performer. But the remedy lies with the performers and not with theatre owners. It is too much to ask or demand that theatre owners also be philanthropists, and not until that time when the Negro actors organize will they enjoy the rights which they say are being denied them. In so far as entertainment is concerned, it has falfén to such a low stage in many of the theatres catering to Negrocs one can sense it the moment they arrive at these theatres we have in mind, Their alleyways are reeking with decaying veg- stables, old newspapers and vermin, which should be called to the attention of the Bonrd of Health, but the Negro actor is in such a state of mind he dosn’t even ask and demand that some sort of cleantiness be maintained at theatres in which he is appearing, if for nothing else than the sake of his health. Dressing rooms are morelike pigpens than what they ‘are’ sup- posed to be. Perhaps the fact that so many of the leading ones spend so much time in the ginmills between shows their minds are stilted and can only function when “putting over” the stale jokes: from revues done. twenty-five years ago under the name of tahs, which possibly has a lot to do with their inertia. “Children of the Sun.” indeed. but the sun fails to throw its beneficent light pon them. We hope that we are forgiven for this article, but one cannot hean praise without its accom- panied criticism of some of the things which have s@rved to keep so many of the Negro theatres in the slough of deep lespond, from which there will be no hone of their ever ris- ing until such time as the actor accepts the truth for its fult ralue and ORGANIZES! with the cireumstances.

A STENOGRAPHER differs from a typist in that in addition to her typing she must be able to take dictation in shorthand. In a large office her work may be merely taking dictation and transcribing it. This often becomes monotonous a practice that it affords good practice and experience for the next higher position. In a small office the stenographer has a great many more duties. She answers the telephone, gives out information, meets all people coming into the office, sorts and opens the file, writes to the employer. When the employer is out of the office she has complete charge. This means that she must know all about the workings and operation of the business. The more she knows the more she is worth the money, the better salary she can demand. There are many opportunities for stenographers other than in business houses. Lawyers need stenographers to take down notes on legal cases. a doctor has need of a stenographer to take notes on patients' records, make appointments, answer the telephone, etc. It is important that a stenographer choose the right kind of work. If you need a job she should not into large business use. This choice is important from the angle of her future work. Sometimes stenographers in a certain profession often enter the profession it requires in a social service institution after the work as social service workers. Stenographers in hospitals and doctors' offices often become nurses. You should thus make your choice deliberately as the work you choose may influence all your future work. Neatness is one quality which is demanded of stenographers. A man's business is judged by the quality of his Brasures, finger marks and smears are the carmarks of a carless stenographer. People figure that a man who will countenance a sloppy stenographer will be sloppy in business. Accuracy is also needed. A little error may cost thousands of dollars or great inconvenience. Speed is also desirable though not essential, common communication ability to tell a fair amount of general information are necessary. Next week we shall discuss the training, advantages, disadvantages, Morgan College Players Coming The Morgan College Club of Baltimore, under the direction of its playwright-professor, S.

Important Changes in Bledsoe Concert Sunday 100 l' Man River of "Show Boat," in the opera "Aida," which will program at the Gallo Theatre, "Jonny Spielt Auf" "Jonny Spelt Auf," a European opera with a Negro hero, had its first night at the Metropolitan Opera House last Saturday. The English for the title is "Jonny Strikes Up the Band." The opera, in brief, is the story of a Negro jazz player, who has numerous amours with European women. It was toned down for American presentation and though a Negro had played titles in America, it was sung and acted by a white man blacked up; but it remained the story of a Negro jazz king philandering with white women. All accounts of the performance testified that the audience enjoyed the opera, whether or not they admired it. If Americans can enjoy the sight of a white woman sitting in a Negro's lap with her arms around him, even if it is a white man blacked up as a Negro, times have changed. There is an old story of two white actors who met on Broadway one day. One of them said he had just returned from a tour in the South where he hit the ground played "Othello." "Did you have a good run?" asked the other. "Dunn right, we did." was the reply. "I never did so much running in my life. We ran about ten miles before they gave up the chase." But there were no bricks thrown last Saturday night and nobody tried to burn down the opera house. Some critics lamented the fact that the opera had been composed by a European, though they should have realized that it would have meant an American composer. Others complained that it was inevitable in a black-and-white romance trimmed down to suit Americans. At any rate, times have changed. J. Mardo Brown, of Ziegfeld's "Show Boat," is to present Harry Delpheu in one of his first New York retrospective Congregational Church, 308 West 133rd street, on Sunday, Feb. 3.

C. valves operate at comparatively low voltages and high current, and the valve types are 1.05 ampères, while the 327 type operates at 2.5 volts and 1.75 ampères. Unless a slickter whose spring termination is not used, the tube prongs used, the contact resistance between the tube prong and the socket terminal may be sufficient to reduce current supply to the 327 to a value that is too low for satisfactory operation.

For example, increasing the voltage of a filament in a tube life in lakh. Each tube filament is designed for a certain voltage and current, and these known voltages should not be exceeded. On the other hand, too low a filament voltage will result in loss of volume and in distortion of amplification. The correct values of filament voltage be used on tube are given by the manufacturer and are on the tube carton. In case the filament voltmeter shows a potential present at the socket terminals and the tube does not light, this means that the filament is burned out. This test seems too simple to mention, but it is given as occasional tests. In this case of the filament circuit of one particular tube, and in this case there will not be any voltage present at the socket terminal. --- Interference because of close proximity to broadcasters, or the so-called "blanket effect" of the transmitter, may be reduced by cutting the size of the antenna.

From all appearances Karno is a white man, with straight hair and blue eyes, but there is no mistaking the racial identity of his wife.

He then taken the Police Headquarters and placed in the custody of Sheriff Cloverdale, who declared that he knew Mrs. Karno and her family. "Sadie is only a nigger," said the sheriff. "and she will always be a nigger no matter how many languages she speaks." Karno showed his credentials, including his marriage license, to the sheriff, but he refused to look at them. "You're the lowest white man I've ever met," said Cloverdale. "I'm lowering myself to even speak to you, you dirty skunk!" Karno was booked on a charge of murder, the police sergeant stated that the city had no authority to act in the case. Karno was then made a Federal prisoner. Cloverdale's bitterness was so intense that he declared Karno unfit to associate with either white or colored prisoners and lodged him in the death cell in solitary confinement. Mrs. Karno was also imprisoned. When the district attorney was apprised of the facts of the case, an investigated Karno's racial origin at茄蒂顿. When he asked Cloverdale if he had read Karno credentials, Cloverdale did not reply. When the report came from Washington the district attorney ordered the couple released on December 19.

"Only as a dead man will you take me back to that jail again," Karno told him. Goza called the police sergeant and after a few minutes and his wife were told to "get off the street." The policeman walked away and left them. The Mob Assembles Before he left the South, Karno learned that a mob was forming for the purpose of lynching him. After he and Mrs. Karno were € an off the streets the second time, Mrs. Karno went home to her mother, Mrs. Lettice Anderson, who runs a large farm at Calhoun, La., about 18 miles from Monroe.

S. 139, 140th street and Seventh avenue. Many troops were present and they got right down to business by practicing fancy pyramid building and other stunts which all the troops hope to become perfect in, so that when the time comes to pick one troop out of the group to represent the district the best troop will be picked. The next practice will take place in the gym of St. Philips's Parish House, 133d street, near Seventh avenue, at 6:30 p. m., on Friday evening, at 6:30 p. m., on the superstructure of Solace Glenn. Among those present on Friday were Scoutmasters Bryon Marshall, Solace Cleenn, Ellison, Wilson and Allen Stanley. Scourmaster Solace Glenn of Troop 773-710 has sent in his resignation as assistant district marshal in charge of the education of the district; also as chairman of the court masters' Council. He reports that his reason for resigning is because he is re-centering college and must gradually give up Scouting. Mr. Glenn will resign as Scourmaster of Troop 773 in September and will resign his time to other interests. Eagle Scouts. The Eagle Scout reunion of Manhattan will take place at Roosevelt House on February 12. Among those who will attend are Eagle Scouts Solace Glenn and William Webb. Gaining Honors.

Another Building Reared in Chicago THE HOTEL MILLION-DOLLAR PYTHIAN NATIONAL TEMPLE, CHICAGO ```markdown ``` Completion of Project Started Twenty-five Years Ago Now Stands as Monument to Order Led by Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green CHICAGO, Jan. 14. (ANP) — After forty-five years as an active knight among the Pythians, Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green led in a ceremony here last month dedicating the million-dollar national Pythian temple, which, as he described it, represented the consummation of a quarter of a century of sacrificial effort. C.A.N.P. This ceremony in the heart of Chicago's expansive Negro neighborhood was impressive, not only because of the magnitude of the task which it symbolized, but because it represented the materialization of a vision, the final display of twenty-five years of effort which had for its purpose the building of a monument to be an inspiration to the Negro race. "Only a few of the original number who planned this temple can answer the roll call today," the supreme chancellor observed solemnly, "but the seeds of higher ambition desire that were sown in the heart of the temple this order by the faithful and efficient leaders of that day and time have now grown into the beautiful building that we behold today. "Through trials and tribulations, through darkness and despair, over rough and stony paths we have come to understand that in the bright sunlight of success to enjoy the fruits of our labor." The Pythian supreme chancellor then traced the history of that labor, from the first mention of a grand national temple made at the 1903 convention by the late supreme chancellor, Samuel W. Starka, and the appointment of the first commission, on through the years. Starka was in 1906 and Green was left to carry on the work. He will be done so is proved by the completion of the temple. Chicago was selected in 1906 as the city of the temple and that almost ancient choice moved Sir Green to comment in his dedicatory address that, "with almost prophetic vision and with rare human foresight the commission selected the most progressive and the most prosperous city of all of the West; if not of all America." Clerks and proper, he decried it, that the temple should have chosen as the home of the temple a city whose first settler was a colored man, Jean Baptiste Point do Sable. "Here in Chicago, despite the handicaps of race and color, despite the handicaps of poverty and prejudice, we find members of the color- ed race going forward by leaps and bounds, acquiring education, acquiring property, acquiring culture, and filling positions of honor and responsibility in city, county and State. It is in such a city and among such a people that we have chosen to erect this great temple, the largest and most valuable building owned and controlled by the Knights of Pythias in the world." Dr. A. W. Aesley, grand chancelor, Pythias was master of ceremonies for the war of S. A. T. Watkins, supreme attorney, who also called upon the Rev. N. C. Nix, supreme prelate, for the invocation. Other addresses were made by Mrs. Rosn' E. Hoard, grand worthy counsellor of illinois; Dr. E. A. Williams, past grand chancelor; Sir E. D. Green, secretary of the Pythian temple commission, who prepared and presented the first resolution the temple; Sir E. C. Tidrington, supreme ex-officio supreme worthy counsellor, and R. R. Jackson, major-general of the uniform rank department. The H.P. Lucky Star and the 1929 Combination Dream Book Get the H. P.

The mobile car was stolen from in front of the 1926 street. Few hours later Alfred Holland. 21, 131 West 142d street, was driving the stolen car in Staten Island, when he was stopped for speeding. He was unable to produce credentials for the car and when an investigation showed that the car was stolen he was arrested on a charge of grand larceny. John Romain, 20, 475 Lenox avenue, who was seated alongside of Holland, was also arrested on a charge of grand larceny. Holland was arraigned in the Staten Island Magistrate's Court on a charge of staging and sentenced to serve five days in prison. The vehicle is released he will be arraigned in Harlem Court for the alleged theft of the automobile.

Phone: 518-222-2222 Oil The Negro in Business and Industry There has been a lot of we why Negroes do not maintain general scheme of American I pressions have gone forth as revanced for more of the nation other than Negro peoples. There has been a lot of wonder from time to time about why Negroes do not maintain a more important place in the general scheme of American business, and many doleful expressions have gone forth as reason after reason has been advanced for more of the nation's business turning a profit to other Negro peoples. The answer is simple, according to discoveries recently made by one seeking information on the subject. Negroes are doing a proportion of the general business of the country and doing such business to the extent of their training, ability and courage to embark in business upon the prevailing terms of the line in which they happen to be engaged. In Providence, R. L. a jewel decorating concern where a Negro employs twenty-two girls of his race to attend school upon gold and after compacts, meshbars, cigarette lighters, etc., we find that more than a hundred of the lending jewelry manufacturers avail themselves of the product of the house of J. G. Lewis Jr. Company. R. L. afternoon Tribune. There is Henry Smith, superintendent of the Onnah body works, one of the largest builders of auto bodies in the country. When you strike one of the everyday parlor matches, you perhaps have not heretofore known that the best of that match is composed largely of finely ground glass mixed with readily ignited chemicals. It is even more likely that you were not aware that much of this prepared glass is shipped from the factory of the Dykes By-Products Company Cleveland, Ohio. R. L. Dykes, the president, and all of his employees are Negroes. One of the largest "Five and Ten" chain stores has just placed an order with the Overton Hygienis Company for nine carloads of toilet preparations to be offered over the counters of several thousand stores scattered about the country during the next year. The Maryland Garage and Auto Service station of Boston, owned by Basil Hutchins, is being enlarged to meet the increased demand of a business that already includes the upkeep of more than 200 commercial automobiles. Down in Arkansas John Claybrooks sells more than a hundred thousand dollars' worth of hardwood and farm products each month and everyone knows his own people use to use for semihood wood that sort each month of the year. Neither do we buy hailed cotton, since we have few factories to supply. Out in Kansas a Negro who not only does a nice business, but has the temerity to have joined the Chamber of Commerce, quarries and sells many carloads of limestone annually.

CHICAGO BOASTS AUTOMOBILE AGENCY CHICAGO, Jan. 21 (ANP)—Three enterprising men of Kansas City, Mo., have launched what is probably the first incorporated auto sales agency ever operated by Negroes. On January 29 this company, known as the Roberts-Campbell Motors, Inc., will open a large showroom in this city, at 5046 South parkway. The company's first salesroom is all well established in Kansas City, where the newly organized enterprise took over the business of Homer Roberts, who has been one of the leading Hupmobile dealers in the entire Western territory for the past nine years.

When you strike one of the everyday parlor matches, you perhaps have not hever known that the head of that match is composed largely of finely ground glass mixed with readily ignited chemicals. It is even more likely that you were not aware that much of this prepared glass is shipped from the factory of the Dykes By-Products Company Cleveland, Ohio. It, L. Dykes, the president, and all of his employees are Negroes. These are but a few of the high lights being disclosed in the commercial director of our country by the Domestic Commerce Division of the American Foreign and Domestic Commerce its representatives go about the duty of surveying the business of the nation. Now that the government agency is co-operating with the National Negro Business League, the Associated Negro Press and a score of other trade organizations and a more accurate picturization of the Negro in business is being presented free from bias and prejudice, we are likely to be very-often treated to revelations that are of the most end-couraging character.

A very bad form of oil dilution is water in the crank case. This is caused by the leakage of the cylindrical head market, moisture condensation and sweating in cold weather. To test for moisture, condensation one should take a piece of metal and hold it near the exhaust pipe of the oven. The water will form as a result of the moisture making contact with the cold metal. This moisture comes from the exhaust gases and it will further warm the water whenever it strikes a cold plate. A certain amount of these gases pass the platon rings and will ultimately turn to water in the old residence. The water comes warm the water likewise heats and eventually passes off as vapor through the exhaust pipe as we have above noticed. This readily favorable to this condition, and more so when one uses the automobile for many short runs. The only advisable remedy is to clean the oil more frequently in winter. In cold weather run the engine about fifteen minutes, then allow it to stand idle for the same period of time. This setting allows the engine to sit idle as it allows the water to settle to the bottom. Then you can get the opportunity to draw off some of the water, by opening the crank case outlet, and taker from the container about one cup of water. Replace the water by some fresh oil and thus equalize the contents.

IT IS BECOMING APPARENT that Mr. Roscoe Conkling Bruce will not succeed as resident manager of the Paul Laurence Dunbar Apartments unless there is a revolutionary change in his conception of his duties; a change which we are almost forced to conclude is impossible for him. This eventuality would indeed be unfortunate; not alone for him and his family, but for the entire community. We should not rejoice at seeing him fail, and, to the best of our knowledge, have endeavored to point out to him the things, which, in our opinion, would cause him to fail. OUR CRITICISM has been resented by the management in the form of two dispossess notices served on the editor and his secretary, and the refusal of an employee to accept the payment of the former when a certified check was presented. This petty resentment is not altered by the fact that the check was later accepted. THE DISPOSSESS PROCEEDINGS raised another point which needs to be looked into very carefully by every tenant-subscriber, for there is no telling at what moment the "schoolmasters" may want to spank one of their pupils for an infraction of their rules. Were these dispossesses served in direct keeping with the letter and spirit of the subscription agreement? We quote as follows: In the event that the Lessee shall default for a period of two months in the payment of any instalment of rent reserved hereunder, or in the payment of any other sums which the Lessee is required to pay hereunder, or in the event that the Lessee shall default for a period of two months in the payment of any sum which the Lessee is required to pay under the terms of said subscription agreement. Article 1; Subdivision 4.

IF THIS CLAUSE means anything at all, it means that a tenant is not in default for a period of two months, and that the management is not empowered to bring a dispossess proceeding, either at the expense of the tenant-subscriber or the management, until the tenant-subscriber has been in default for a period of two months. This does not mean that Mr. Bruce should not urge upon tenant-subscribers the importance of paying each instalment of rent and interest as soon as possible after it becomes due, but that he should be prevented from going outside the subscription agreement in an attempt to stifle criticism of his management. WE ARE WAITING with interest the decisions in two cases which went up on appeal from the Seventh District Municipal Court, in both of which municipal court judges ruled that the ordinary relationships existing between landlords and tenants do not exist in a co-operative project and that dispossess proceedings for non-payment of rent should not be brought in that court. Both actions were dismissed in favor of the tenants. PROVISION has already been made for "a Board of Advisors" consisting of six subscribers, one elected from each of the six buildings, and we see no reason why the tenant-subscribers should not go ahead now and perfect such an organization and employ counsel so as to protect their mutual interests, especially since Mr. Bruce has elected to protect Mr. Rockefeller's interests and Mr. Rockefeller's interests alone. THE AMSTERDAM NEWS believes that it is the Resident Manager's duty to protect the interests of both parties to the agreement, and that this cannot be done by threatening tenant-subscribers with dispossesses, invasion of personal rights and depriving them of all rights in the proposition, except the right to pay all the bills.

In a recently pub world's problems, some A GENIUS has been defined as a person who is abnormally intelligent in one direction and abnormally dull in others. This definition is extreme, but like many other exaggeration it carries a grain of truth. Henry Ford, for instance, is a consummate mechanical genius, but when he enters the field of moral and spiritual questions his mind is about as keen as the butt of a gun. He actually believed that by sending a shipload of pacifists to Europe he could atom the World War. THE FATE of that ludicrous experiment has not impaired his confidence in his wisdom. In a recently published book he tells us how to solve the world's problems, something which the deepest thinkers of the past ten thousand years have failed to do. A mechanician, he thinks that the solution of everything lies in improved mechanical inventions. He says: "With faster and faster means of transportation, the improvement of the radio and the coming of television, the lonesomeness of farm life will disappear and only the pleasurable qualities remain." The farm relief question will be so easily settled? "The motion picture with its universal language, the airplane with its speed and the radio with its coming international program—these will soon bring the NO. 4. The Prohibition Commission DURING THE past campaign, Candidate Hoover stated that he regarded the Eighteenth Amendment as a noble experiment, which should be dealt with constructively. He added but one further word to this laconic declaration, and that was to the effect that a commission should be appointed to look into the matter. Now that Governor Smith has lost and Mr. Hoover has won, he repeats his campaign declaration of purpose to appoint such a commission. He is commissioned by the people to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment, both as a sworn constitutional duty and by specific platform obligation to enforce this specific provision vigorously. The details of the method of enforcement were left to his own devising with the advice and consent of Congress. Government by commission is not in good repute on Capitol Hill. Past experience does not justify any rosy outcome. Such commissions in the past have usually accumulated volumes of dust, dry statistical and historical material, which are read only by the secretary of the commission, who is under the penalty of editing them.

The virtue in mechanical invention whole world to a complete understanding. Thus we may vision a United States of the World." MR. FORD takes everything into account but human nature. A lot of nonsense has been written in the last ten years about inventions making nations like each other better. Inventions will do nothing toward world peace till the men behind them are better; they can be instruments of hate as well as of love. The airplane will be used to drop bombs, chemistry will produce poisoned gas, and the radio and the movies will spread the propaganda of hate. Every instrument that ever will be devised by man will suit the purposes of war. Just as Negroes, among others, were hailing the movies as a means of bringing people together in good-will, out came "The Birth of a Nation," spreading far and wide the seeds of hate against the Negro. The mere bringing together of people is not enough, for the bloodiest wars of history have been civil wars in which the combatants understood each other thoroughly. The notion that there is any spiritual virtue in mechanical inventions is worse than childish. Kill the Snake Kill the Snake THE BILL for the real districts has passed the Hogressman Tinkham of Massa designed to reduce the repress because of their disfranchisement was ruled out by the Congressman Chindblom, Re THE REDUCTION of Sgress has been brought up be capitated a hot debate. The THE BILL for the reapportionment of Congressional districts has passed the House of Representatives. Congressman Tinkham of Massachusetts offered an amendment designed to reduce the representation of the Southern States because of their disfranchisement of Negroes, but his amendment was ruled out by the committee chairman, who was Congressman Chindblom, Republican, of Illinois. THE REDUCTION of Southern representation in Congress has been brought up before, and each time it has precipitated a hot debate. The matter is a simple one. The Constitution says that the number of Congressmen shall be determined by the number of citizens. For instance, if a state has a million citizens and the apportionment act allows one Congressman to every 250,000 citizens, that state will have four Congressmen. A state like New York, with 12,000,000 citizens, will have forty-five Congressmen, and a state with 500,000 will have two Congressmen. NOW; SUPPOSE A STATE has a million citizens, but bars 500,000 of them from voting. According to the Constitution, in which "citizens" means those who enjoy the full rights of citizens, that state should have only two Congressmen instead of four, since only 500,000 have the privilege of voting. The Southern states, however, base their representation upon the whole population, black and white, as if they all voted; thus a Southern state can have four Congressmen representing a voting population of only 500,000, and twice the power in Congress that it should have. AS A RESULT, the Southern states proportionally have more strength in Congress than the Northern states. A New York Congressman will represent 250,000 people; an Alabama Congressman may represent only half that number, yet the two men's votes are equal in Congress. This condition has always irked the North and from time to time proposals have been brought forth to reduce the number of Congressmen from Southern states to a figure representing their actual voting population. MOST NEGRO LEADERS have been heartily in favor of such reduction, as it would lessen the power of their enemies in Congress and perhaps accelerate the passage of modern sociological spirit and point of view. "Ye shall, know the facts and the facts will make you sure."

"Ye shall, know and the facts will make But facts without compower of interpretation that the Eighteenth Amendment is being flouted and defied. A hundred years of investigation will not make any plainer the fact that President Nicholas Murray Butler and William Randolph Hearst decry this provision of the Constitution and openly declare the impossibility of enforcing it. So long as this defiant attitude is allowed to go unrebuked by the Government at Washington, research and survey can avail but little. The details and purpose of this commission Mr. Hoover has not yet disclosed. It must, therefore, be taken for granted that, when explained, his scheme will give satisfaction to all who wish some effective method of effective enforcement of this moral provision. This commission is to consist of nine citizens appointed by the President to be non-partisan and both wet and dry in its personnel. Senator Jones of Washington, who is as dry as Senator Borah, and Senator Walter Edge of New Jersey, who is as wet as President Butler, made a joint call upon the President-elect and received this assurance. It is to be presumed that the commission is to represent all phases of political and moral opinion on the issue. This leads me to suggest that Mr. Hoover should be importuned to appoint a Negro member on the commission. Such appointment would not merely serve as race recognition, but importantly help to promote the great end in view. It is deeply to be reretted that THE STRE uld be plainly written on one address must be given, although to be printed. DUNBAR APARTMENTS To the Editor of The Amsterdam News.

In the em more than a punitive measure FIRST, it would not to Negro viewpoint is the real would still prevail, with the S voting rights than before. So legislation for the betterment and protection of the Negro. But in several ways this reduction might do the Negro more harm than good. In the end it would hardly amount to more than a punitive measure. FIRST, it would not touch the thing which from the Negro viewpoint is the real evil—disfranchisement. This would still prevail, with the Southern Negro no nearer to his voting rights than before. Secondly, the United States Government would put itself in the position of acquiescing in Negro disfranchisement, legalizing it, in fact. The Government would, in effect, be telling the Southern states that they could disfranchise the Negro as much as they wished as long as they reduced their national representation accordingly. WRATEVER the fingers of the Government do, its face is set against disfranchisement, and it is best to keep it so. The Government's passing a law or taking a certain position has a powerful force, whether or not that law be executed or that position be followed up by action. The Fifteenth Amendment is not enforced, but who would wish to see it repealed? THE THING NEEDED is not the negative measure of cutting down the number of Congressmen from the South, but the positive measure of enforcing the franchise clause of the Fifteenth Amendment. The Southern statesmen get around this amendment by maintaining that it is not armed with an enforcing act, as are the Eighteenth and other amendments. But the Government,has the power to pass an enforcing act, and that is where the drive should be concentrated. To reduce Southern representation would be a satisfaction of spite and nothing more. The way to kill a snake is to kill it, not pull its rattles off. School Discrimination School Discrimination THE STRIKE of Negro school children in Brooklyn challenges the attention of the New York school authorities and calls for the support of every self-respecting Negro citizen. Organized as a separate glee club, a group of boys in P. S. 35, ranging from twelve to fourteen years of age, rebelled when allowed to sing nothing but "mammy" songs while the regular glee club of the school, composed of white children, was allowed to sing every kind of music. When the white teacher in charge of the club was angered at their rebellion and railed at them as "black children," they promptly got up and walked out. THE ACTION of the boys shows a self-respect and a manhood that augurs well for their coming years. Negro parents do not send their children to school to be insulted by teachers because of their color, or to be denied the chance to sing the same music as other children. The schools are the property of New York City, and when teachers enter them they are required to leave their personal prejudices outdoors. BY WHAT RIGHT, it may be asked, is a principal entitled to have separate glee clubs in his school for colored and white? The main offense in this matter is not to compel Negro children to sing "Old Black Joe" while white children sing Brahms or Schubert, but to segregate them in any school activity whatever. The schools of this city are supposed to be conducted without regard to race, creed or color. Teachers and principals who violate that principle deserve sharp discipline, and the Board of Education should see that they get it. SPECIAL ARTICLES the Negro has not as yet seemed to grasp the deep moral significance of the Eighteenth Amendment. And yet, this same provision, if upheld, spells the salvation of the Negro; but if annulled, it means his doom. A Negro member of the commission would tend to give its findings greater consideration and favor in the eyes of a race it is calculated to save. It is well and good to assign colored men to governmental stations where they serve the nation. Wherever feasible it is well to give them function where they can serve race as well as nation. In placing a labor leader on a labor board, the obvious intention is that he may both represent and serve the class of which he is an exponent. The range of places. accorded the Negro is a gradually lessening one. The ministership to Hatti has been closed for sixteen years. Let us hope that it will be restored. The registrship of the Treasury has just been filled by a fresh appointee. Old gates are closing and no new ones are opened. Here is a position which is logical and feasible and some members of the race are qualified by ability and attitude for this exalted consignment. Let our spokesmen who have gained the inner ear of the administration by loyal campaign service present this suggestion as part of their program. ET side of the paper only, and this information does not Negro History Week The fourth annual observance of Negro History Week has become really deep-seated in the public mind. Public school officials are manifesting more interest than ever before in the history of the movement. According to reports received from Dr. C. G. Woodson, the departments of education of every State in the South, with the exception of Georgia, have warmly expressed interest in the effort and have asked for the Negro History Week literature to be distributed among the teachers in their respective States. and protection of the Negroion might do the Negro more it would hardly amount to ch the thing which from the evil-disfranchisement.

Brown, M.D. OF THE diseases affecting us in this temperate zone, pneumonia is by far the most common serious one. It has a greater incidence in the winter and spring, but is with us throughout the year. It follows immediately in the wake of epidemics of the respiratory tract, such as we are having now. There are two forms of pneumonia—the lobar type and the broncho-pneumonia. The latter is usually the pneumonia of young children and old people, and will be considered next week. Lobar pneumonia is the one we see so much of. It is a solidification of parts of one or both lungs from a congestion of blood and other secretion, hence the rusty looking sputum. The pain in the chest is due to inflammation of the covering of the lungs called the plura, and as breathing or coughing takes place the two irritated surfaces of the plura come together to produce severe pain. do know that most persons who have pneumonia die because the heart gives out before the turning point in the disease arrives. A weak heart in pneumonia is like a tired horse on a hill. The heart can be whipped up with drugs until its reserved energy is used up and then it stops. Because of all these things, it is necessary that every patient suffering from pneumonia be given every possible consideration. Don't be impatient with your doctor. It sometimes takes a few days for the signs in the chest to develop and until then a default More often than not the disease is ushered in by a bitch, not just a chilly feeling, and a cold feeling down the spine. Some of the rapid labored breathing is due to the fact that the normal parts of the lungs are working overtime to produce the necessary oxygenation of the body. The heart is greatly embarrassed because of the effort it must exert to pump blood through solid lung tissue. The fever as a rule is high and the patient may be delirious or exhausted. So profoundly severe is this disease that one thing or the other must happen in a few days. The time for the crisis is arbitrary and may occur between the third and ninth day. There is no reliable opinion at the beginning of this disease regarding whether the patient will recover or not. We December Employment Situation Showed Gains The National Urban League, through its Department of Industrial Relations, reports that the month of December showed no unusual changes In Negro employment save those that ordinarily come with Christmas. Laborers with a corporation in Austin, Tex., have replaced Mexican and white workers. In Chicago a new department store gave opportunity to twelve clerks, and a furniture store employed two salesmen; a company in St. Paul employed its first stenographer; a male stenographer went to work in New York in a white concern, the first one to be so employed; 1,000 extras were hired in the moving picture industry in Los Angeles; in St. Louis a mechanic was placed in a position not usually held by Negroes at $65 per week; employees in the Detroit Ford Factory reached the total of 15,000; in San Antonio, Tex., two detectives brought the total of employees to four, and a mail order house in Colorado gave employment to women as maids. A number of cities reported losses during the month. Among them were St. Louis, where one hotel replaced all of its service help; Milwaukee, in which fifty girls in a lamp-shade company walked out when they failed to obey signs assigning them separate washrooms, and Chicago, where fifty workers in a food store were discharged when managers were changed, but were given letters of recommendation for efficient service. In jersey City white bellmen took over the jobs of Negro bellmen, and in Baltimore the installation of talking movies caused the discharge of an orchestra. Know New York State During the 1928 hunting season in New York 7,029 deer were killed, 628 more than in 1927. Suffolk County contributed 52, Rockland 45, Putnam 44, and Westchester 16. New York State's population of 11,162,000 is nearly one-fourth greater than that of the entire Dominion of Canada. The factory pay-roll of New York State totals about two billion dollars a year. One-fourth of this covers all salaries, and the remaining billion and a half dollars are paid to wage-earners, numbering about one million. Empire State dairies produce yearly approximately 750 million gallons of milk, 25 million pounds of butter, and half a million pounds of cheese. New York City's first apartment was built in 1870 and was modeled after those in Paris at that time. It is on East Eighteenth street and is still in use. Less than one child in three hundred between ten and thirteen years of age is at work in New York State. This is due to the passage and enforcement of modern child labor laws. Two Poets to Appear A special program of Negro poetry and music will be presented at the Community Church, Park avenue and thirteenth-fourth street, on Friday evening. James Weldon Johnson will speak on the Negro in literature, music and art. Arna Bontemps will rend poetry. A program of Negro music, which includes soloists and the choir of St. Philip's Church, will be rendered and there will be an exhibition of voodoo dancing and an art exhibition of Negro artists. do know that most persons who have pneumonia die because the heart gives out before the turning point in the disease arrives. A weak horse in pneumonia is like a tired horse on a hill. The heart can be whipped up with drugs and till its reserved energy is used up and then it stops. Because of all these things, it is necessary that every patient suffering from pneumonia be given an every possible consideration. Don't be impatient with your doctor. It sometimes takes a few days for the signs in the chest to develop and until then a definite diagnosis may not be given. If the patient is to remain at home, it must be at the expense of the rest of the household. The biggest, lightest, most easily ventilated room should be given over to the sick. In this disease more than in any other good nursing care is indispensable. If these conditions cannot be met with some degrees of assurance, the patient is better off in any hospital. Once the decision is made to keep the patient home, don't be overalarmed as the crisis approaches and want to send the patient to the hospital or change doctors. Request a consultation of your physician, if necessary. The use of serum is only efficacious in certain types of pneumonia. Oxygen should always be accessible. Be careful with the "little cold" and avoid exposure and a run-down condition.
