Convict Escapes Baumes Law Term Ruling on Fourth Offense Frees Man From Life Sentence Escaping a life term in prison because Judge Donnellan ruled Thursday in General Sessions that a suspended sentence does not constitute a fourth offense under the Baumers law, Walter (Sik Hat Harry) White was given a term of four years in the State prison at Dannemora and apparently derived satisfaction from the verdict. With two years of that sentence already expired, the convict will be eligible for release in July. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1927 after it was discovered he was a fourth offender. The previous sentence was four years on charges of burglary. The Volunteer Defenders' Society, a branch of the Legal Aid Society, learned of the auspended sentence and asked for a ruling by the Supreme Court. Judge Donnellan's final decision in the case was made following a reservation of opinion two weeks ago. White will become an evangelist upon his release, he confided to prison authorities.

He charges that the National Executive Committee dismissed him from the Brotherhood because he was suspected of being a spy for the Pullman Company. DesVerney also declares that such unpleasant reports were circulated about him two weeks after the Brotherhood was organized under Randolph's leadership in 1925.

Bruce Lectures on Housing at Abyssinian Forum Another Negro is to sit on the board of directors of the Dunbar National Bank, 2824 Eighth avenue, where five members of the personnel have been promoted to higher positions and three others newly employed. Official announcement was made Friday by George C. Loomis, white, cashier of the bank, that Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Age, 230 West 135th street, and Alderman from the Nineteenth Aldermanic District, was invited last Tuesday to become a member of the board by President Joseph D. Higgrins, white, and was approved by the board. TWO Mr. Moore has accepted the position, but stated in an interview Friday that he preferred that any statement concerning it should come from the bank officials themselves. Every director is required to become a shareholder in stock in the institution to the amount of forty shares at a market value of $2,080 or $32 each; the par value is $23. Prior to Mr. Moore the only Negro member of the board was Roscoe Conkling Bruce, resident manager of the Paul Laurence Dunbar Garden Apartments, Inc., 2588 Seventh avenue. It is reported that a third member of the race may sit on the board some time in the near future, but this report is not yet official. Forum Hears of Promotions Speaking before the Abyssinian Baptist Church Community Forum, 136 night, West 138th street, Thursday night. Mr. Loomis announced several recent promotions at the bank and introduced the employees in question to the audience. They included Walter Dixon of St. Louis, Mo., a student of calculus at New York University, who was advanced from messenger boy to statement clerk; Ira Williams was promoted twice, from messenger boy to statement clerk, and from this position to the customs ledger; John P. Quander was moved up from the customs ledger to the position of general bookkeeper and accountant. Also, John McDonald, floor man, was appointed new business representative, while William Smith, night watchman, succeeded McDonald as floor man, or day guard. Sidney E.

Williams, vault custodian, who, incidentally, has been treasurer of Manhattan Lodge 45, I. B. P. O. Elks of the World, for several years. Mr. Loomis revealed Friday that several members of the personnel are attending evening classes at the American Institute of Banking, 110 East Forty-second street, the official school for students of banking. "Those who successfully complete their course," Mr. Loomis said, "will have their tuition paid by the Dunbar Bank." Questions of a general nature were asked about the bank and answered by Mr. Loomis during the forum. Mr. Bruce reviewed the economic history of the Negro from the time of slavery, and ended by saying that industrial and financial organization and unity are the only practical solutions to the Negro's problems. Wilbur F. Coleman, cashier-bookkeeper at the Danbar Apartments, gave a most interesting and compelling talk on the value of thrift and its indispensable aid in enabling people to live better and more useful lives. Mr. Coleman deplored the fact that there are thousands of Negroes working in domestic services and other mental positions who are qualified for higher work, but are denied the opportunity.

The forum closed following a special discourse on housing and the Dunbar Apartments by Mr. Bruce, illustrated by stereopticon views, which contrasted the poorest housing conditions with the modern Dunbar project. Mrs. Clara Burrill Bruce, assistant resident manager to Mr. Bruce, did not speak, being absent from the city. Aaron Smith, Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue, whose district includes the Wall street section, where he is reported to have collected $71,000,000,000 since he has been in office, was chairman of the forum.

Fleming Guilty in Bribery (Continued from Page 1.) charged, he was told that he must pay something for the service. The man alleged that he borrowed $200 (a check) from his father-in-law and gave it to Fleming. The Councilman cashed a check the day after the transaction is said to have been made. The charges were filed when additional legislation was not introduced by Fleming to reimburse the detective. In his defense the political chief of the Eleventh Ward admitted turning the first bills over to Charles Smith, secretary of the Police Department. He was in Europe when the ordinance was passed and did not vote on it. Later in 1927 the detective came to the Elks' Club and asked him to cash a check for $200, he said, adding that he felt something was owed the Councilman on a previous bill. He accepted $50 as the balance for legal service in an alliancy case several years before and gave the man $150 in change. Fleming testified. The politician denied preparing any legislation to aid the detective. Defended by George W. Spooner, the Councilman was on trial during the whole week. His law partner, secretary and associates testified in his behalf, only to have their evidence outweighed by that of the State. Fourteen character witnesses called for the defendant wero: J. R. Krans, vice-president of the Union Trust Co.; Common Pleas Judges James Ruhl, Fred P. Walther, Thomas M. Kennedy, Samuel Kramer and Samuel Silbert; Municipal Judges Thomas E. Greene and David Meck; John J. Sexton, former Assistant Prosecutor under Edward C. Stanton; Councilman Sam B. Michel; the Rev. Charles C. Aller of the Zion Hill Baptist Church; the Rev. Wesley Watson, the Rev. Austin J. Prince, Attorney William R. Green, the Rev. Russell Brown of Mt Zion Temple, Ernest Hall. Safety Director Edwin D. Barry, Mayor John Marshall, City Clerk Fred Thomas and City Treasurer Adam Damm. The defense counsel was expected to present the court with an affidavit of George F.

Accused of Flirting Hudgins said that, from reliable sources, he learned that the incidents leading up to the fatal shooting began in Harlem Thursday afternoon shortly after two o'clock, when Irick and the woman drove off in his car. At 137th street and Seventh avenue Irick left the car and Mrs. Irick remained seated. Presently a meditatively is removed from office. Fleming's action in resigning, however, was declared the wrong move by his attorney. With the retrial motion to be decided and an appeal planned, the resignation was "impo-仆ic." he said. Democratic members of the City Council are in minority, but have already lined up in opposition to the naming of a Republican to fill Fleming's place. The majority party is considering Mrs. Lethia Fleming, wife of the convicted leader; Lawrence O. Payne, assistant police prosecutor, and Dr. Loroy N. Bundy, delegate to the G. O. P. convention in Kansas City last year. The choice is believed to lie between Mrs. Fleming and Payne.

Two bullets, stinging hot, pierced Irick's heart and he dropped dead. The struggle was over and, as she stood panting for breath, there came a knock at the door. It was Hudgins and his wife, Mildred, demanding admission. "Mrs. Irick at first refused to open the door." Hudgins continued, "and at that time she was a bit hysterical. However, she finally let us in and I saw Irick lying on the floor by the door with blood running from his nose and mouth. His chest was covered with blood, also. Mrs. Irick then composed herself and, while she told me of what happened, my wife telephoned for the police." Upon the arrival of Detective Captain Henry Duane, in charge of Bronx detectives, and others from the Wakefield station, the woman related the details of the shooting and re- enacted there in her room the whole tragic melodrama. Her attitude was now one of uncanny indifference and very matter-of-fact. Hudgins said, and she expressed no regret whatever for the unhappy event. The woman was placed under arrest. Hudgins and his wife also accompanied the police to the station house and submitted to questioning and allowed to go. Irick's body remained at the house until the medical examiner performed the autopsy the next day. Then it was removed to the morgue, where it was later claimed by his two brothers, who shipped it to South Carolina for burial.

Se Habla Español OPEN EVENINGS and SUNDAYS A former practicing attorney here and a veteran officer of the old Fifteenth Regiment, Capt. Marshall's resignation was offered to the State Department and took effect January 1. He arrived here four weeks later and gave his first interview last week. Capt. Marshall and his wife spent six years in the Haitian capital, where he was the only American Negro officer or public official in the force maintained by Brig. Gen. John H. Russell, high commissioner. The army man's estimate of the worth of the American occupation was not a wholly harsh one, however. The former native gendarmon, or police force, officered in the main by S. Marines, is doing excellent work, he said. Recently the name was changed to the Haitian National Guard and the organization made a purely military body, though continuing its function of policing the republic. The change has made its appeal to the higher-class Haitians, who were wont to look aloof from a police force. Natives are being advanced in command gradually, though the Americans hold the highest posts, he said. Saultation has also penetrated the interior. It was learned. Little Economic Progress Capt. Marshall declared that the American occupation has accomplished practically nothing in advancing the economic life of the republic. Coffee, the main crop of the Indians, has shown no increase in production, he contended. The Department of Agriculture, headed by Dr. John Freeman, an Alabama man, failing to increase the main crop, has done little toward the promotion of cotton or other products. The Department maintains a large botanical garden at Dannien, a school of agriculture and an experimental station. Thousands, of dollars are being spent for imported cattle, horses and poultry. With frequent losses of stock, due to improper methods, the whole efforts are a failure. Capt. Marshall stated. Agricultural schools are maintained by the Department, but these are located along the coasts and give practically no aid to the vast population of the interior, the former atache said. All other education is in the hands of the Haitians and a deplorable state exists in most of the schools, according to the observer. Primary teachers are paid a month, have little or no equipment and inadequate buildings throughout the hinterland. This situation can be traced, he contended, to the Council of State, composed of the two legislative houses. Appointed and removable at the will of President Borno, the legislators will appropriate no sum sufficient to pay the cost of public education. Money is available, the captain said, through excessive taxes levied upon the people. This money is largely invested abroad, partly in Wall street, he said. With the pressure exerted upon Borno by the American officials, who the former attach charges, are seeking to industrialize all Haltina education as soon as they get complete control, little can be done to relieve the situation. The Government was described as relatively rich, while the people grovel in poverty. Liberties Restricted Capt. Marshall's picture of the imposition, restrictions and curtailments of civil and social liberties was his harshest. By successive laws the press has been completely muzzled, he said. Newspapers have been forbade to speak in slighting terms of the President and high public officials. Harsh criticism of the Government is at once suppressed, he said. When an editor is arrested for a violation, publication of his paper is immediately stopped until he is freed of the charges. A recent law makes it a crime to reprint articles from the foreign press criticising the Government. Publication of criticism in a foreign country results in a trial while the accused party is absent. He is jailed upon return to his country. Capt. Marshall related. Another of the curtailments described was a ban upon political campaigns by the opposition party. Public meetings rud parades are halted, he asserted, thus effectively cutting short the hopes of persons ambitions to oppose the Government party. Much of the progress in the cities of the coast is a gesture for tourist trade, according to the former attaché. During the present season twenty-seven tourist ships have called at Port au Prince. These boats never stay overnight, however. Hotel accommodations are inferior and large investments must be made before travellers are attracted in numbers to the island. Capt. Marshall holds. With the power of the people gradually asurped and higher education discouraged by officials, the haffians, he contends, are securing little training which will make them fit to administer their own affairs if the Americans leave the country in 1936, according to the treaty. The only relief for the situation, in his opinion, is the awakening of American public to the high-handed methods of its representatives abroad. Will Practice Here Capt. Marshall was graduated from Harvard University in 1897 and from Harvard Law School in 1900. He was quarter-mile track champion at that time. The captain practiced law here in the firm of Marshall Garrett and Wheaton. He served as attorney of record to Brig.Gen. A. S. Daggett, retired, at the Washington court of inquiry of the Brownsville soldiers' riot. When the United States entered the late war he served as recruiting officer and did service with the Fifteenth Regiment as captain. He was wounded at Metz in 1918. Capt. Marshall is making his home here at 229 West 135th street and will resume his law practice. He is writing a book of memoirs and a romantic history of Haiti.

C., Feb. 11 (ANP)—That the Hoover administration will deal entirely different with the Negro from what Coolidge has done, was the opinion of Melvin Chisum, expressed in an interview here Saturday. According to Mr. Chisum, President Coolidge in the early days of his administration became disgusted by the numberless unorganized and unauthorized committees, and the scores of individuals who attempted to force themselves upon him in the role of "race leaders." As a result he assumed his attitude of indifference which has characterized his whole administration. KLAN CARDS TRAP WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Because Lawrence B.

Now Mitchell is charged with stealing an automobile.

TAMMANY MAKES PAYNE CORPORATION INSPECTOR Devotion to the cause of Tammany Hall has been rewarded with the appointment of Charles Payne, 275 West 13th street, to the post of corporation inspector formerly held by the late E.

Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall, who is the founder of the Washington Conservatory of Music, completed a story of Haiti while there with her husband. The book will come off the press early this spring. Hit by Automobile Capt. Marshall was painfully injured Saturday afternoon during the heavy rainstorm when struck by an automobile driven by Charles B. Cashin, 34 Bellevue avenue, Trenton, N. J. The lawyer was walking south on Seventh avenue at the crossing of 137th street, while the car was going west on 137th street. Cashin was driving slowly because of the slippery streets. The car struck the pedestrian squarely in the side and hurled him to the street. He suffered contusions of the hands, legs and both sides. The driver stopped and took the injured man to the office of Dr. Wiley M. Wilson, 200 Wiley 135th street, where an examination was made. Captain Marshall was removed to his home. An X-ray picture, made Monday, was expected to determine the extent of the injuries. B.S.C.P. Head Tells His Side of Story B.S.C.P. Head Tells His Side of Story (Continued from page 1.) ter the National Executive Committee, of which Randolph and Lancaster are also members, turned down Crosswalth's suggestions that certain changes be made. It was also argued that Crosswalth was poor at figures and that Lancaster was the latter's superior in experience and training. Crosswalth and DesVerney declared in Monday's statement that they kept silent about their dismissal in November, 1928, out of loyalty to the trade union cause and to the Brotherhood. "However, since Randolph and Lancaster — evidently conscience-stricken and now convinced of their utter helplessness in winning victory for the Pullman porters — have brought the matter into the open, we deem it our duty," said DesVerney Judge Abrams Again Accused Judge Abrams Again Accused (Continued from page 1.) was weeping, and Plunkett complained to the judge that she was disturbing the peace of his office, it is said. Mrs. Green explained to Judge Abrams that she had come to court to receive justice, but had not found it. "You've got too much mouth; if you don't shut up I'll send you to jail. Do you think you're running this country?" she said Judge Abrams told her. Sobel expressed fear of an attack upon him by Jones later, which caused Judge Abrams, it is alleged, to say that he would be personally responsible in seeing punishment meted out to either Jones or Mrs. Green If Sobel was disturbed by either of them. "Nigger" Tenants Unwanted According to Mrs. Green, Sobel told her that he raised the rent from $65.50 to $105 beginning January 1 in an effort to get "all the nigger tenants" out of his house. "I am sorry I have a house full of nigger tenants," Sobel is said to have told her recently. Mrs. Green said she has lived at her present address since August 5, 1916, and that Sobel has refused to make needed repairs to the house. She complained to the Tenement House. Inspectors and was told last August not to pay any rent until Sobel obeyed their orders in making the repairs, it is said. This angered Sobel, she stated. While visiting her sick mother at Petersburg, Va., last September, Mrs. Green said she was obliged to return hurriedly on account of receiving a dispossess summons from Sobel for back rent of $109.50. She paid the money. On February 1 Mrs. Green offered the agent the regular amount of $65.50. He refused it and handed her a dispossess summons, in which it was averred that her case did not come under the Emergency Rent Laws, Chapter $26, Laws of 1928, Section 2. When the case was heard Thursday, Judge Abrams reduced the rent to $30 and peremptorily ordered Mrs. Green to either pay the money by February 12 or move out, it is reported. Mrs. Green placed her case in the hands of Attorney Vernal Williams, 200 West 135th street. K20 4 table table model, A. C. operated, Single central illuminated dail.

"Nevertheless, masmuch as Randolph and Lancaster will issue a statement, we will await that statement." "Brotherhood Strengthened" Randolph declares in his public statement: "Crosswaltha and Des Verney's dismissal strengthened the Brotherhood. . . . If they had remained in the movement, it is quite probable that their tendency to make childish charges, without foundation, against the financial system of the movement would have done the Brotherhood irreparable injury and perhaps caused its collapse." For a year or more Randolph says he tried to settle the differences so as to be able to face the Fullman Company with a solid front, but that when he was unable to do so, "the only alternative was to abide by the decision of the National Executive Committee and the Organizing Committee." One of the chief reasons for the Misissal of Crosswalth and DesVerney, said Randolph, was that one Mr. Wrigl, white, of the Labor Bureau, Inc., had insisted that the Brotherhood cut down its staff to reduce its expenses, and that these two men should be the first to go, since they were not producing anything and were being paid $150 a month. "Daddy" Kent for Sentiment Randolph said that DesVernay, tue father of the movement, was kept as a matter of sentiment. "Relative to my refusing the services of DesVernay when he offered to work for the Brotherhood for nothing." Randolph said, "may I say that I refused his services upon the principle that you cannot control anyone you do not pay. It might be said in this connection that one of the reasons for DesVernay's opposition to Lancaster is that, in the early stages of the Brotherhood, DesVernay wanted to bring his wife into the office as a worker, and DesVernay opposed it. "Other reasons for Desverney's dismissal are: Co-operation with Crosswalth against Lancaster; forming cliques of porters to support Crosswalth and oppose Lancaster; calling meetings of committees of porters in the office of the Brotherhood, without the knowledge of Lancaster or myself; claiming before large numbers of porters that the Brotherhood had not paid him a check since January, 1928. This 'was' in October that he was spreading this propaganda, when the facts showed that he had received six checks amounting to $670, although he had not brought down into the office of the Brotherhood but $160." Crosswalth's charges of irregularities on the part of Lancaster grew out of his bitterness, Randolph said, caused by being turned down in his suggestions. The charges had already been investigated by the National Executive Committee. Randolph averred, and that he finally got the two men to shake hands and call a truce. "Nevertheless, Crosswalth and DesVerney continued to spread propaganda against t. Lancaster, charging him with dishonesty. Obviously, this was disloyal to the Brotherhood and could not be tolerated. Randolph also admits asking Crosswalth to go before the committee and withdraw his charges and to say that his charges were not true, but that the committee would not hear him. Crosswalth then became bitter and threatened to expose Lancaster, "but that, if the matter was settled properly, meaning if he were restored to his job in the Brotherhood, he would not give his charges to the press," Randolph stated. "I reasoned with him that his being out of the, Brotherhood involved no national issue or principle; that organizers were being dropped out of labor unions every day, and that there was no justification for his setting himself up as a guardian of the moneys of the porters in the Brotherhood. "The charge that the Policy Committee of the Brotherhood came to New York unexpectedly to check up on the national office is not true. Because I am the chairman of the Policy Committee and all of its sessions are set by myself in co-operation with the members. The Policy Committee did not only accept the reports of the secretary-treasurer as being satisfactory, but gave him a vote of confidence, which Mr. Des Verney voted for. "As for making an accounting of finances to the porters and public, may I say that the Brotherhood's policy was dictated by the fact that it was not good organization strategy to reveal the strength of the movement to the Pullman Company. "As for the committees knowing the financial condition of the organization, they were not in any doubt. The National Executive Committee receives a financial statement of the Brotherhood twice a month, not only now but while Crosswailh and DesVornere were in the Brotherhood. There is a budget committee which handles the dues stamps and examines petty cash and the general financial situation. Admits Effort to Sell Brotherhood "The charge that A. I.

"Shiplaceoff stated definitely that he had not formed any definite opinion on the charges of Crosswash, but felt that no statement should be issued until the committee had finished its final report. The reports have been finished and they agreed that the charges of dishonesty against Lancaster are without foundation. "Shiplaceoff, however, opposes Lancaster because of his idea of wanting funds from the Democratic Party for the brotherhood. This phase of the situation was not a matter for investigation. "The charge that Lancaster sought to sell the Brotherhood to the Democratic Party by Crosswash and Des Verney would give the impression that he was seeking personal gain at the expense or the union. But his frank explanation to me and the Organizing and National Executive Committees showed that his interest was to secure funds to help the Brotherhood. But when he presented his plan to me I turned it down on the grounds that it was unwise. He abandoned it. Immediately."

I might say that my pay was never overdrawn, and if Lancaster's was overdrawn, it was with respect to one month's pay, which still left the Brotherhood in debt to him. But Crosswalth and DesVerney would give the impression that Lancaster overdrew his salary in the sense that he was in debt to the Brotherhood, whose words, if Lancaster drew $200 one month, which was than his salary, the Brotherhood still was in his debt, since it owed him much more than that. "I wish here to state that the financial affairs of the Brotherhood have been conducted on a high plane of honor, integrity and efficiency. I, together with the National Executive Committee, invite any group of responsible citizens who, in good faith, wish to know about the financial situation of the organization, to come into the headquarters at any time and make an investigation. If there is any doubt as to the honest handling of the moneys, I would rather drink water and eat dry bread, go in rags and sleep in a hovel than that the good name of my own and the Brotherhood be stained by corruption or dishonesty.

O'Shields, of Porterville, Ala., "my mother gave me the first dose of Black-Draught, and I have taken it ever since, when I needed a medicine for constipation. I have used this remedy all my married life, in raising my children. "I have used Black-Draught frequently for heartburn, as I have had spells of this kind, off and on, for years. This follows indigestion, and indigestion can cause heartburn. "I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught in time. It relieves me of dizziness, tightness in the chest and backache. "By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order. I always keep it in the home, and have recommended it to many people, in my time. I always say a good word for a good medicine." Sold by all druggists.

"Grandmother's Valentine" will be paired by a manal girl in 1860 course and offers her a nosegay while the soft strains of "Comin' Through the Rye" are played. Johnny, of course, would give his teacher a comic- valentine, which will be a very exaggerated spinster lady with hair in a tight twist and huge spectacles, a rou in one and a long sleeve. "School Days" is the appropriate musical selection for this. "The Valentine He Gave His Girl" is a different matter. A heart-shaped wreath of cardboard forms a frame for an ardent young who, on bended knee, offers his heart (also of pasteur) to an empire gown, a poke bonnet and carries a fan. "Love's Old Sweet Song" accompanies this. "The Colonial Valentine" is a lady and gentleman in bourfant clothes and wigs. He serenades her with a stringed instrument while she curties her hair and hangs from arm by a ribbon. Schuberts' "Serendale" is appropriate. "A Valentine Someone Sent Norah, the Cook" is represented by a very large, very Irish cook brandishing a rolling pin at a very small, very scared boy who stands before her by the pleasure of mourning in one of his hands. An Irish jig is played for this comic silhouette. Household Hints COLD water, to which a little salt has been added, can be of valuable help to you in washing greens, lettuce, cabbage and spinach. Besides ridding the food articles of dirt, the salted water also draws out the hidden insects. Water for drinking purposes may be purified by adding to it powdered milk or to the four gallons of water. Stir quickly and allow it to stand. The impurities will sink to the bottom. Water from the cold faucet, heated in a kettle or pot, and fed in or the tank or drink a deliciously "fresh" taste that is lacking if you use water from the warm faucet for the same purpose.

For six weeks these youthful investigators, by concealing their identity, were members of the "most of working girls struggling to eke out an existence." Nineteen of them took only one day to find work; the other two took nearly three days. The general average wage of the group was $12.62 a week, though some of the girls worked for as low as $6 and others for as high as $30 a week.

A QUESTION that causes many of us a lot of worry is this one: Should I have long or short hair? One friend says it looks better bobbed; another one says it looks better long. One likes you in a mannish bob; another, in a shingled; and still another prefers bangs. Now if wigs were the style, we could buy a dozen or so and have a lovely time pleasing everybody. Since they are not, we've got to make a choice and that's the hard task. The first thing to do is to ask yourself which you like best. If you definitely know you're lucky, because you're going to arrange it that way, regardless. If you don't know which is most becoming, consult your hairdresser. She has had a wide experience in the hair line and should be able to tell you. If possible, agree with the "boy friend," or hubby. It's a surprising what definitely fixed ideas they have on how a woman should arrange her hair. Now if you're in the habit of changing your sweethearts every month or so, you'll be very foolish to consult each one. You might find yourself with a smart boyish 'bob (a left-over from your last affair), and a new "boy friend" who raves about long bobs. It's a fact that many women look better with bobbed hair. Those women should keep it bobbed, regardless of the fact that long hair is in style again. Both long and short hair are popular, so you need not fear being called old-fashioned. Whatever way you arrange your holt, remember that the back of the neck is a most noticeable part and must never be neglected. Keep it trim at all times and half of the battle is won.

Last Friday Night (By The Editor) While it is not within the province of the editor of this department of the Amsterdam News to include news of this nature on this page, the appearance of Lieut. Eugene Mikell at Station WABC last Friday night carried more significance for us than would ordinarily appear on the surface when such men as the late Lieut. James Reese Europe, Will Vedder, the late Will Tyers, the late David J. Martin, and a host of other musicians gave encouragement and lent inspiration to this writer when he entered the field almost preteenth years ago. As a musician Mr. Mikkel won his spurs long before he came into greater prominence as the leader of the band. He was a highly lamb when war called him to the scene of activities in France. There are few men and women in the show business of the present, but he was one of the last twenty years with whom he is not acquainted. Many of the performers now meeting with success received the spur to go out and perform. He was the ability of Lieut. Mikkel, who early in his careers furnished the kind of music at the head of orchestra which made it possible for them to out over their work in the best way. Even now Bordentown, N. J., will not soon forget Luster, Milne, for at the widely known Bordentown Industrial institute he did some of his work at. He is a member of the Four Harmon Kirgs now in Europe reminded this writer of the splendid work done in music at the school which benefited the student, now a member of the most popular quartette in London, for the ability of the modest, retiring and unassuming Eugene Mikell. His voice coming over the radio last Friday night was like a refresh of which from that hour of music of which honored and master. Mr. Milkell also sent over a program which was rendered by the Glee Club of the New York City, and a program which brought many words of commendation to the leutenant and which further served to prove ability as a musician. The app and leader made will, we are sure, he read with a great deal of appreciation not only by the many readers of his works, but also friends of those artists in the world of music mentioned. Sending his voice over the air, while speaking on the American "grover in Music," "The Negro in America speaks the universal language, music. Long before he could write music, he made mistakes and sang them to many with his moods and sentiments. His spirituals express the loosening of his soul. He forgets him, and his effort in classical is the expression of his desire for accomplishment. "It is fitting during this Negro history week to mention a few outstanding race. In Samuel Coleridge Taylor we have one of the most distinguished composers of his time, 1875 to 1880, on a par with the best of his contemporaries, perhaps best known for his canata 'Hawthaw.' The story of his life is romance and though he spent the best of his life here in America are proud of him and his works. Need I mention Marion Crown, whose "Swing Song" songs long in rhythmical chords are a tribute to T. Bebee, who has given as a heritage Deep River" and "Little Mother of and more than 200 compositions teaching every chord in human emotion." "Of present day composers and strangers we have Robert Nathan Hamilton Institute, best known perhaps for his "Listen to the Lamb," and Clarence Cameron White whose "Knows the Trouble I've Seen" knows the Trouble I've Seen and tribulations of the colored man." "Will Vodery, while yet a young man, was enabled to blaze the path that may be created of arranging, to whom he is proud of many successful musical productions. His popular airs of the early singles are still popular and he is insulted in most every production that it is required. "A movement that is known as rhapsodies again points to the achievement of the Negro in this peculiar type of music. I heard over the last week the Negro Keboanum unekwaw, which Jimmy Johnson composed, believe it to be a masterpiece and Jimmy Johnson, like the famous person in a recent opera, should be sit out on the top of the world. But he is not. He is just Jimmy Johnston. "In the realm of classical music in paint with pride to the late Martin Madden, with Antl Brown, known as "Black Madden," I will paint with an Apple Madden, that famous little lady who, after many years of creative presentations, now feels ready for a role in Grand Opera, and Martin Madden who recent appearance at Carnegie Hall gave us hope for her future success. Last but not least Roland Hayes, who carried the achievement of the Nebraska "Muscle played a great part in the activities of the World War. It was my privilege to be the Bandmaster for the admission of New York overseeing the seas, and I have been played in Paris, I sensed the opportunity which the Negro has in music."

Jumble of words, remembrant that he slowly beaten to become red, in a maze at discovering, to say nothing of a luminaries of the stage I HERE she proudly sits at the end of a two-hour run by express from New York. Philadelphia; ye gods, she's unconscious! Well, that's what Tom Fletcher used to say in those days when he entertained Harlem with his merry quilts and brought back memories for those of us willing for the nonce to vegetate in a bygone age by reminding us of the late Ernest Hogan as he chirped: "Wouldn't It Be a Dream?" But Philadelphia, like many another city in the United States, was roused from her slumber when the war drums and the marching of foot shook her to the rafters. The coming of what we are so fond of referring to as "the jazz age" has found Philadelphia so full! awake, sleep can come only to the most frequently the hosteleries run for, and most apparently by, performers. The reader will most likely get the idea that either the writer has just returned from his first trip of fraternization or performer or that he failed to observe many things on previous visits. In the days of Mr. John T. Gibson's famous North Pole Theatre, to the time when we were the guest of the same Mr. Gibson upon the opening under his ownership and personal control of the Standard Theatre some fifteen years ago, we had the enthusiasm of youth and recorded for the pages of history our observations, but the intervening years found our pen dull, most likely because of a too fond desire to commune with nature and age life from a more critical standpoint. The first flicker of the desire to see the old city of Ben Franklin under the conditions of yesteryear came with the invitation of Mr. Lew Leslie to hop over with him and see his No. 2 company of "Blackbirds" Business prevented us hopping with Mr. Leslie, but a few hours later we were on his heels. The Leslie atmosphere induced us to figure that Philadelphia, now that we were to return in the capacity of dramatic instead of sporting editor of this paper, would do well to make much whopeh in behalf of our frienda, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, so that is that and that is done. They will stinge a benefit in their old roles. So we saw "Blackbirds" and came to the conclusion that what our war correspondents had reported from the front in Boston could not be added to. Any such attempt would be superfluous or would amack of the desire to cinch for ourselves some of the smiles of the beauteous damsel cavorting for the edification of the Quakers. This paper told readers more fully than any other in this community all about the second company of "Blackbirds" and its triumphs when it first opened and all we find necessary to say at this time will be found in another column of today's paper. Philadelphia: Ye it is! The it is the city in which one could find a Rollo Wilson patiently waiting with a snorting Dodge to whisk one out to that fine residential section wherein resides the stalwart recorder of doings in the world of sport and his best half, that charming person with whom Rollo recently signed a life contract and upon whom we heap blessings for rescuing us in the nick of time and saving you would most likely have been foreseen and you a year see but for a real home-cooked meal enjoyed under her gracious presence. Congratulations! We almost hefty Vice-President of the Eastern Sport Writers' Association. Roy Lancaster of the Brotherhood came over, but shot back to New York the next day. Philadelphia asleep? It is to laugh. If you think so try to go to sleep at one of the leading hotels before four or five o'clock in the morning, Yep, that all you'll do: try. Incidentally we must here remark that Earl Dancer's "Ebony Showboat" played a week at the Pearl and there were great rumblings and murmurings coming to us despite the distance of the Pearl from the center of activities. For the next month or so Philadelphia will be the hottest town in the union, so much so Bennie Butler of the local Tattler had to be headed off on three occasions when found wandering near the Pennsylvania Railroad station. Meandering in that section where everybody with a desire to echow going to bed can be found we ran into George Caldwell of the New York Hippodrome. George came in from Baltimore to espouse the cause of the hero of the Ventris, Lionel Lichris, and the result is that a big dance will be given at the Strand in honor of Lionel this Wednesday night. George and Lionel, they tell me, happened to be in Boston at the same time a certain show was playing the town, so we did not hold it when George when he bade us a hasty "good morning" after we had sat through the dance and attended the "Blackbirds" and made a bedline for his lodging house to go before his return to Baltimore the next day. George is invited to be the guest before his return to Baltimore the above occasion he was doubly so and we did not find the bedline for his bird he is until the afternoon of the same day we heard a lady and a musician engaged in a tilt with the following words: "Listen, Rufus, I told you before that I am a lady." "You certainly did, Mirandy, but what I can't understand is that you have told me that over and over again. In fact, they tell me that you have been spending the best part of your time telling everybody the same thing and what's eating me is: Why don't you and be satisfied to let us find it out instead of advertising it. Please excuse me for laugh." Rufus, instead of acting the gentleman and appearing worried, had good laugh, albeit we will say for him he had no intentions of being rude. If you are lost in this sumble of words, remember it comes from the pen of one who, while asserting that he slowly but firmly pushed from him the wine when it threatened to become red, cannot be held sible, for the mind is still in a maze at discovering that Philadelphia is so much awake Seventh avenue, to say nothing of Lenox, must look to its inurels or lose many of its luminaries of the stage and other walks of life.

The chorus girl who walked out walked into the leading role of King Vidor's all Negro, all-talking picture or Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. "Hallelujah," Nina May McKinney, 16 years of age and chocolate-brown, came near getting the part several times before the actually did. Vidor had previously considered her as a possibility and played it in front, in leads, he selected Honey Brown, a dancer in the same show. The company entrained for Memphis, and Nina May was left behind. Two weeks later the New York office of M-G-M invited her to come down for a test. She went. Shortly afterward the invitation was re-issued. Nina May was offered "a small part" in the picture. She accepted. Was handed a Pulman ticket gift for one continuous passage to Memphis, Tenn. Demanded another ticket, her mother, Got it and took the train. In Memphis she was met by Honey Brown, who told her that she, Nina May, was the new leading lady of the hailelujah. She didn't believe it, but she was willing to be convinced. Meanwhile Vidor was "shooting" scenes in the cotton field, where no other movie was needed, the company moved on to Hollywood, and nothing settled. The decision as to who, Honey or Nina May, would win the part hung in the big baptism scene on location near Hollywood. "Vidor favored money, but he took along Nina May anyway.

Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" Triumphs in Philadelphia Having conquered New York, where the original Broadway company is now in its eleventh month, the original Titian company of players presenting Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" registered an unprecedented triumph in Philadelphi. Here, it opened a week ago. This particular play, nationally in Boston and created a record by remaining there for three solid months. "Blackbirds" opened to cacophony, and the curtain day evening and has remained pacity ever since. A fervish advance sale following the reviews of the local critics insures capacity for at least eight weeks. Arthur Waters, writing in the "Philadelphia Ledger" said: "Friends andoes, Pollyannas and speeches, joys andoes, devotees andoes, the best Negro show ever offered in Philadelphia, but also one of the fastest dancing entertainments ever concocted. It just about has every audience in town to send a audience home happy, chuckling and whistling." The Evening Ledger added its At RUSH MEMORIAL CHURCH 88-60 13th 8t. (Just east of Lenox Ave.) REV. F.

In an attempt to duplicate the success which they have met with at the Lutayette theatre on two occasions, the benefit of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and Maids will stage a midnight benefit of Johu T. Browne Broad and Lombard streets, Philadelphia, Pa. midnight of February 27. It was confidently expected that the benefit would be staged earlier, but the show was delayed, that Bill (Bojangles) Robinson, the outstanding star of *Lew Lea's No. 1* broadway sit up and take notice nightly at the Elding Theatre, is going to make an attempt to rush to show and top the bill at the DuBois. Philadelphia became enthusiastic when the rumor went out that Robinson will most likely lead the bill. He also mean a great sacrifice on the part of the team, to make the Philadelphia trip, but it is believed that Mr. Leslie will do everything in his power to help Bill make it to Philadelphia if the athlete chosen decided to make the trip. Colin Kaepernick, the City felt solely disappointed on a previous occasion when "Bojangues" found it a physical impossibility to dance for them, but Robinson will most likely go after another record-breaking performance a few minutes after his arrival in the "City of Brotherly Love." Georgis Randal, one of the popular members of the Alhambra Players, was a decorated officer as master of ceremonies on the bill which will include many popular performers. Besides Bill Robinson, duces like Jake and Boone Baby Joo Gans, and Benoît Bennon surprise offering in the person of Bandaman Kean, a former member of the famous Virgin Island Band. He was also a member of the United States Navy. Kean was member of this Naval Band when it last appeared at the Dunbar Theatre through the courtesy of the Navy department upon the intercession of the then Assistant Secretary of War Theodore Roosevelt and the recent Mr. Leslie has decided to help this Philadelphia venture by sending many of the acts of the No. 2 Company of "Blackbirds" now appearing in the Garrick Theatre in Philadelphia, to the Quaker Theater in New York, decided success in Quaker Town, with seats selling weeks in advance, the benefit will give hundreds of colored persons in Philadelphia their opportunity to see the outstanding performers in the new theater the tuneful and popular numbers put over by the stars themselves. Other acts on the bill will include Garrick and Everett, two comers to this section of the country, with few more from the "Jazz-Bo Regiment" Company through the courtesy of Sam Griman. As in the case of the New York benefits for the benefit of the theatre, giving his theatre under the same conditions which marked the action of Mr. Frank Schliffman at the Lafayette in this city, Mr. Schliffman gladly donated the house and his assistants, left no stone unturned in helping to make the benefiting a success. Many other acts too numerous to mention are also expected to leave our door early, on the night of Saturday to take part in the bill. The Friendly Society of Philadelphia will aid in sponsoring the affair which, to judge from the enthusiasm shown by Philadelphiaians, be one of the most successful of its kind ever staged in the Quaker City. praise by saying: "Blackbirds is pulsing, primitive, alive entertainment. From overture to final curtain it is all action, and if jazz is the only show present it riotous, brothelish. Philadelphia Inquirer characterized 'Blackbirds' as a fast and tuneful extravaganza; while Horman Dleck in the 1920s was an amply revive and certain to have a great vogue in Philadelphia."

Burt Thanks His Friends The sudden passing of Mrs. Elizabeth Burt, wife of the assistant manager of the Lafayette Theatre, which, because of a personal charm which she her many friends, was such a blow to her husband he was placed under the care of physicians. Two weeks later she visited her husband at the theatre and appeared to be in the best of health. A few hours later she broken and was forced to take to her. Her illness was diagnosed as double pneumonia and although everything that was physically posed away a few days later, in the immediate vicinity of her residence on the Grand Concourse she had also won a host of friends who have been united for many years in line of the little Canadian with the ready smile. She was all that a wife could be and her close company who had been united for many years has left a deep void in his life.

Air Shop West Side of Street SEVEN Best Sport Pages in Greater New York EIGHT HARD BATTLE AT GARDEN FRIDAY Baby Joe Gans and Jackie Fields Fighting for Chance at Dundee * When Jackie Fields and Baby Joe Gass take on the cudgels for their ten-round hout in the Garden, Friday night, the California welters will be bunging for a chance at Joe Dundee's furnished thral. Gotham fans did not takelikely to Fields when he performed here in 1927. At that time the Los Angeles battler defeated Joey Kaufman, lost to Louis Kid Kaplan and won from the comedian cowboy. Fink. It can be realised there was not anything bio-blain over concerning these performances. But, since then, Fields has established himself in the 142 to 147 round brigade. Glincing over his ledger we find such names as Jack Zivile, Sergi Sammy Baker and Peter Meyers on Fields' kayo account. Meyers knocked out Sammy Baker few nights ago. Fields' boy offended Jack Johnson, the Chicago weltwinger, and still last October. Thompson hanged Dundee out in two cantos last August. Fields' last start was against Jack McCarthy, of the Windy City, whom he defeated Jan. 30 in a ten spot in Chicago. Baby Joe Gans is considered by those who know as a crackerjack. His correct name is Gerald Shaughter and if his performer it is a very argyri ring are a collection it is a very argyri ring are a collection. The Baby can throw them. He's fast, closer, and as a game a contender as ever came out of the West land. He isn't as coorsure as the Denverite. Young Cerbutt, but he is every bit as willing. Gan's display of courage in his fight with Andy Divoil last October is still the talk whenever gammy is the topic of discussion. After a few weeks, the colored baker knocked out Andy Divoil in five rounds. In his battle with Joe Glick three months ago Gans was down very fine. He weighed but 136 pounds and could not stave off the ferocious attack of the Williamsburgh tailor. During the closing rounds of that contest he had Glick on the way out. Many believed if it had been a 12 round fight that Glick would not have been on his feet at the finish. Like the man he met, Gans was a New York Baby Joe lost a six-round decision to Emmanuel Quintero, last May 21, the night Sammy Mandell romped in over Jimmy McLarnin, Quintero, a southpaw, belted Gans with wicked leets to the body. Fields is a star board finger and Baby Joe should make a good showing. Both can hit anything is liable to happen. Carlton Wins Three Games On Tuesday, Feb. 5, Montclair Y. M. C.

The Renaissance Fire defeated the Yankees Whirlwinds last Sunday night at the Renaissance Casino by the score of 26 to 17, in one of the most listless, uninteresting games we have seen them in this season. It was one of those games that makes one wish they had stayed at home and listened to the music that was reasonable enough to expect that the boys will at all times play the kind of games that will make you rise from your seat and yell your head off; but, in justice to the paid customers that make it possible for the management to purchase their salaries, we feel that they ought to give them their money's worth. The game was won by the Renaissance. Its true; but in the whole twenty minutes or play there was not one thing that was done in the real Renaissance way. We will venture to state that, had Manager Douglas been present, a different game would have been played. The onkers would best the best they make it a game, but the Renaissance just went through the motions, figuring, no doubt, all that is required of us is to win, that's all. We understand that they played and won a game Sunday afternoon, but that is nothing new with them, and after all, the Sunday night game at the Casino is their important game. However, they got that one out of them them and perhaps they will get into their old stride again and give us something to write and rave about. At the end of the first half the Reus led, 15 to 9. Jeikins, with 4 field baskets and 2 fouls for a total of 35, was the high scorer of the opening. On Lincoln's Birthday night, February 12, the Rens will line up against the Paterson Club of the American League, and as tight opposition always makes them play their best (with the exception of last night) they should see a very good game on Tuesday night at the Renaissance Casino. The Metro-Diamonds and the "T" Cardinals, two of the best teams of their class, will furnish the thrills in the preliminary game and also a game that you should not miss. In the preliminary game also day night the Mounters swamped the St. Ambrose, 46 to 19.

Defeats Highland Park On Saturday, Feb. 9, Y. M. D. swamped the Highland Park aggregation of basketball tossers to the tone of 43-23. The two outstanding features of the game were: (1) the very good playing demonstrated by T. La Barrie, who although listed in the lineup from the beginning of the season, was not with the team. La Barrie's contribution to the score was 12 points. The other feature was the speedy floor work and accurate shooting at the first string men during the last an minutes of play. The team at the time was composed of Smith Herndon, Day, McClammy, and Berry. CARLTON (43).

They seem to think the formation of the Western Negro National League in 1920 was the beginning of Negro baseball. The knowledge that there was an all-professional colored team as far back as 1886 and a Negro league in 1887 should dispel any such idea. As a matter of fact, there were Negro ball-players long before professional colored teams came into existence. Some of our greatest ball-players never played on any but white teams and in white leagues. White leagues, East, West and Middle West, were well sprinkled with bronzed boys years ago. I remember, when a babe in arms, hearing the name of Bud Fowler mentioned as a great player. The Walker brothers, Fleet and Weldy, were prominent figures in college and professional baseball in the early '80s. And on down through the forty-three years since our first pro, team was organized there have been great teams and great ball-players. Of course, they had their ups and downs, just like the folks are having today, but when they were on the upper side of the business they sure did let the world know it. And when they were down, that is, when the rain would come and wash the games away, when industrial depression would rear its oppressive head and idle boys and men were unable to raise the price of admission to a ball game, when crowds were slim and idle days frequent, oiten, during times just nofed, the old boys could barely make it out of town. But they took anything like that as part of the game. Beef stew or crullers and coffee were welcome diets many a time and oft when the old-timers struck the lean days in their business, but they kept strong and healthy and played excellent ball. But O, how different during the seasons when things broke right for them. Seasons when all the summer resorts in the East had baseball teams and all composed of leading college players, Cape May, Atlantic City, Ashbury Park, Newport, R. I., Richfield Springs, Sharon Springs and Cooperstown, N.-Y., were filled with players from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Holy Cross and University of Pennsylvania. The boys would strike some of these resorts two or three times during the season. With good guarantees and favorable weather, playing on the co-plan, they made good money and plenty of it. They lived and traveled in big league style. No fifteen-cent stews nor crullers and coffee while playing the summer resorts. From soup to nuts was the standing order of all the bunch in all the hotels. No jerk-water rattlers while travelling when a Pullman was around, and if they happened to miss connections on their way to fill an engagement, did they miss filling the date? I'll say they didn't. On a special train they would breeze into the town not long after. A telegram would read something like this: "Coming by special train; will arrive in time for game." The whole town would be at the station to meet the special and follow the boys to the grounds. Result, another big day and a growing inclination for special trains. Any town or city the old-timers hit when they were prosperous was hit and stayed hit. They were great advertisers. Questions Renaissance Supremacy THE ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS, Inc. National News Service 3423 Indiana Avenue CHICAGO This letter is written to you for the purpose of correcting an impression that was sought to be conveyed in your last issue by your basketball commentator, Francis. Francis, in his review of the western trip of the Renaissance team, refers to the game played between the Renaissance and the Savoy Fig Five, which Renaissance won, 38 to 35. Francis finds reason to conclude from that narrow margin of victory that all the talk about the Savoy team is a lot of air and that "with a Renaissance team hitting all five, if they ever meet the Savoy again, the Chicago team will be buried. . . ." Confessing that the opinion of Francis is typical of the Harlemite for those of us out in the provinces, why would it not be fair to indulge a few comparisons in order to gain an accurate view of each team's real strength? The Renaissance came West and, using the figures of Francis, lost to Fort Wayne on two succeeding nights, 34 to 25 and 34 to 30. On the same night Renaissance lost to Fort Wayne 34 to 30, Savoy played the Bruins and was beaten 32 to 28, a four-point margin, which the Bruins earned entirely in free throws, 12 of the Bruins' points being from the free throw line. The night after Savoy held the Bruins to a four-point margin, the Renaissance played the Bruins and, to use Mr. Francis' figures again, the Bruins beat Renaissance 47 to 28, a 19-point margin. The record of Savoy against the Bruins this season is one victory, 29 to 21, and one defeat, 28 to 32. The record of the Renaissance is one defeat, 47 to 28. Fort Wayne beat Renaissance two straight games. Fort Wayne came to Chicago this last Sunday and the Bruins beat them 33 to 25, proving that their superior victory over the Renaissance was no fluke. Has Harleni ever heard of Joe Lillard, all-Iowa scholastic forward? Well, Joe, one of the Savoy regulars, was on the sidelines when Savoy played Renaissance, and Watson, another regular, was knocked out in the closing minutes of the first half, after he had scored four baskets from the field against the world champions. And does Harlem know that in an exceptionally clean professional game Savoy made more field goals than Renaissance, the New York team's margin of victory being more than accounted for in its excess of free throws? Chicago has a great deal of respect and admiration for the Renaissance team. It broke our hearts, and our pocketbooks, too, when the Bruins took them in cann. But our pride is hurt when our admiration for a great team is returned with ridicule for our team, which, as with the Renaissance, is trying to build a place in the sun for the colored basketball player. You might pass it along to your readers that the Savoy team is willing and eager to play Renaissance again. Al Munro, the Savoy manager, told me that he would pay the expenses of the Renaissance team out here and give them $150 to boot to come back again. He also said that he would bring his team to New York under any reasonable terms that Renaissance would offer. Our boys know, just like Pennisance does, that their threw away the game against the champions. With a 10-point lead Mr. Romeo Dougherty, The Amsterdam News, 2293 Seventh Ave., New York, N. Y. Dear Mr. Dougherty: By SOL WHITE and nine minutes to go, Savoy ought to have won. But our boys had seen the Bruins smash the Renaissance the night before and when they found themselves away out in front they maintained their offense, when defensive tactics would have clinched the victory. However, they do not feel bad. These boys who have been palying together two months have the satisfaction of knowing that they blew a game to a team that has played together at least five years, and that they lost no prestige in doing so.

GUISTO STOPS McKAIN IN FIFTH 369th Infantry Fighter Puts Up Game but Losing Two weeks ago Emil Gulsto, rugged welterweight of Williamsburgh, and Charley McKain, crack batter of the 369th Regiment, engaged in a bitter brawl at the 27th Division Train armory. Gulsto was awarded the verdict that night because McKain suffered a severe cut over his left eye and the bout was halted. Not content at all with the manner in which he lost to Gulsto, the Harley-Joy team and the teammate and he was favored last Thursday night at the suma club. Guisto, in the best condition of his career, brought along a sufficient supply of dynamite in both mitts to explode the comeback return of his opponent. Guisto scored a technical knockout after he had punched his overwilling rival helpless with a barrage of blows to the head and body. The time was two minutes. McKain was on the canvas no less than five times. Just before the referee stopped the contest he had just climbed up at eight and a few seconds before taking a right, after taking a four count as a result of Guisto connecting with a lusty right-hander. The fifth round also saw McKain take a trip to the canvas after Guisto opened fire on his body with left and rights. The last right landed on the ground, causing McKain to fall seemingly paralyzed. He barely arose at nine. Before these knockdowns it was a pretty close affair. Both started out at a whirlwind pace and science was forgotten in the desire of both to finish the brave with a punch. Each took cleavage in the other case as early as the first round and when the slugging had reached the fourth their bodies were bright red. By their supreme efforts to bring about an early finish the batters were tiring swiftly. Guisto proved the stronger, however, and with the fifth stanza a low seconds old, the opened a heavy punch on the unfinished of the 369th Infantry fighter. Guisto sealed 147 and his rival a pound less. The bout was scheduled for eight rounds.

Lincoln Bows Before Hampton in Hard Battle HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Feb. 10. —Still burning from the defeat suffered at the hands of Seminary the Scandinavian somewhat alleviated that pain by defeating Lincoln University 39—25. With Hargroves leading the offensive, the Hampton quintet swept down the floor time and again by means of pretty passing, Cotton or Hargrove making a goat to Coach Hargrove and accustomed intensiveness, passed and shot with deadly accuracy, and have fans a treat in the performance of the pastime now in season. Cotton led the scoring with seven field goals and a foul: Hargrove was close befitted with five foul goals and two foul goals. Alexander got two and a foul; McCowan got two; Gates got two. Although outplayed throughout the game, the Lions put up a stubborn, fshy game. Weatherless played a great game on the offensive, making several pretty shots from a tour mid-floor. Avery, however, improved both offense and forward. Time and again he brought the ball down the floor, and time and again he blocked Hampton shots.

C. McCafferty, given a stern chase by Stuil Edwards, crack New York University runner, made a new fast time for this event: He was clocked in 1:12 3-5. Edwards, in second place, led Oliver Proudlock of the Newark A. C. James A. Ball, Canadian track star, did not compete in the Milrose 600, apparently wishing to save his career for later events. Ray Conger beat Paavo Nurmi in the mile run Percy Williams, the Canadian schooboy, again proved his calibre by winning the 50-yard dash final. Its time was .550 1-5, one second slower than the record. Wildermuth, of Georgetown, was second and Dalley, of Holy Cross, was third. Victory for Fordham.

Gann, of Princeton, who came behind and was more than 10 yards ahead at the finish. J. H. Smart, of the Central Walks Club, of Toronto, failed to complete in the one mile walk, a hand tap event, thus removing all the international tinge this race had. Witness of the Boston A.

SECOND SECTION New Sanitarium Houses Latest Word in Modern Dental Offices Dr. Anna Cooper Johnson and Earle F. Johnson Open New Suite; La Morell Prepares to Operate Patent Medicineless Pharmacy With the opening last week of ultra modernly appointed dental offices and a dental laboratory in the Vincent Sanitarium 2348 Seventh avenue, by Dr. Anna Cooper Johnson and Dr. Earle F. Johnson and preparation for the opening of a pharmacy by Oliver N. La Morell, what is termed by many as a new era in these professions in Harlem was in progress today. Dr. Johnson's suite in the new hospital brings appointments of a higher type and a new service for other dentists to uptown New Yorkers. Following the spirit of modernity and utility carried out in the hospital built through the efforts of Dr. U. Conrad Vincent, every convenience has been installed. DuBois Sees Chance for Socialist Party in South Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, in speaking at the Forum on Current Events at the Rand School, declared that the Socialist Party The two dental chairs are equipped with numerous devices for facilitating the work of the operator and increasing the patient's comfort. The chairs are raised and lowered by an electrically operated mechanism. Lights and tool attachments are conveniently placed. Carrying the theme throughout, individual sterilized glasses are provided for patients and duplicated compartments are located in the instrument cabinets. One set of equipment is decorated in an ivy tan motif, while the other scheme is dominated by Neptune green. Dr. Johnson's special service includes gas and X-Ray for outside dentists. She also has a room in the basement for additional work and service. Mr. Johnson, mechanical dentist, has a complete laboratory for his work. His main workroom is supplemented with another in the basement. The two have an office equipped especially for their professions. Dr. La Morell, formerly managing pharmacist of the Chelsea Pharmacy, 2305 Seventh avenue, is installing equipment in his shop in the same building. Seeking to offer a new service to the public, he will sell no patient medicine nor toilet requisites. The prescription pharmacy will cater to physicians and is expected to offer a high grade line of chemicals and drugs. Dr. La Morell was trained in Colonial Hospital School of Pharmacy, Trinidad, B.

Ain't Heard Nothing Yet DZZZLING electric sign on motion picture; temple; "The Awakening" with sound. "Hump," one old lady muttered, "You orter hear my dog when he's asleep." Couldn't See Point "MAN Arrested for Laughing Wins $10," a newspaper headline informs us. The appended article supplies the information that a Washington man was given the award by the Circuit Court against a white policeman. It seems that the man was amused at the copper's traffic directing, guffawed loudly, a clubbing, was arrested and sued the arm of the law. Safe to say the officer hasn't seen the joke yet. The Unloved Maiden YES, her soulful eyes were smiling And her torso shapely, trim As the much admired de Milo; Yep, she made a hit with him. Yet he never hoped to love her Nor to brush her to his breast, Though he swore she was a beauty And the gal was smartly dressed. For she simply lacked in feeling, Was a truly frigid moll And there isn't any loving In a pretty kewple doll. A Cutting Name "DR. BUTCHER, Ostepath," reads the sign on a Newark office building. "Good thing that guy didn't a surgeon," smart-cracked a wiseacre as he ambled his way past.

DuBois, editor of the Crisis, in speaking at the Forum on Current Events at the Rand School, declared that the Socialist Party could make much headway by "braving the artificially encouraged race prejudice of white laborers in the South and come out in speech and platform for democracy despite color." "Any successful appeal to the labor vote, North or South," he asserted, "must be based on the breaking of the artificial power which the white-employing South has gained by distranchising both white and Negro laborers. "The Negro today is growing in intelligence," he said. "His political power is growing, just as the Negro vote is growing. Don't believe for a moment that leaders of both the Democratic and Republican parties are not staying awake nights pondering over methods to win favor with this vote." Dr. Barber to Speak Dr. J. Max Barber of Philadelphia, president of the John Brown Memorial Association, will address the local Frederick Douglass Chapter of the organization here next Tuesday evening at the West 195th street branch Public Library. The Rev. William Lloyd Imes is head of the New York body. graduated from Fordham University School of Pharmacy here. He has had fifteen years of experience in the profession. Amsterdam News Reconciliation Secretary Addresses Y.M.C.A. Meet Howard A. Kester, white, secretary of the Youth Section of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, 383 Bible House, Astor place, recounted interesting and vivid instances of prejudice against Negro education in the South and of the sacrifices made by white teachers of both sexes in behalf of Negroes, Sunday afternoon at West 137th street branch of the Y. W. C. A., at the seventh annual Race Relations meeting. His chief topic was, "Do We Need an International Mind?" and the trend of his talk was vigorously in the affirmative, illustrating very convincingly how European disturbances and military conflicts affect us here in America. In the matter of race relations he related instances in which many Negro youths of the South have been changed from their belief that every white person is set against them. Miss Eloise Uggams, soprano and star of "Blackbirds" show on Broadway, sang several songs. Miss Viola Lowls presided. $100,000 Made Available For Convalescent Care That $100,000 is available for convalescence was disclosed at the meeting of the New York Urban League executive board Monday evening by James H. Hubert, executive secretary. A foundation has agreed to contribute this amount, the income of which is to be spent for convalescence of Negro patients, provided an additional $150,000 is secured. Officers of the Executive Board for 1929 were elected. They are: Arthur C. Holden, chairman; John E. Nall, vice-chairman; Eva D. Bowles, secretary, and Curtis J. Beard, treasurer. Prof. Leroy E. Bowman, chairman of the nominating committee, recommended the creation of an Advisory Board, reporting many acceptances from persons well known. The budget for 1929 was adopted, including provision for workers in the courts and a neighborhod secretary. Church Seeks Portrait Of Life in Literature The church is looking to literature for its present day interpretation of life. the Rev. William Lloyd Imes, pastor of St. James' Presbyterian Church, told an audience Friday night at the 135th street branch Public Library. The speaker was filling the place of Arthur A. Schomburg, patron of art and literature, whose illness prevented his appearance. The minister spoke on "The Church Looks at Literature" as a part of the general observance of Negro History Week at the library. Mrs. Catherine Latimer of the division of Negro history and literature presided. While the church has an intense interest in literature of the present, it asks that the picture be a fair one and interpret the struggles and achievements of the people as well as their faults, the minister said. He sounded the need for preservation of Negro folk lore and history. The best history of any people, he contended, is unconsciously written into the literature of each generation. Marshalling its forces with those of the Frederick Douglass Association of Colored Hotel and Restaurant Employees, the Community Progressive Women's Union will hold a general mass meeting next Wednesday evening at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, 132 West 134th street. William Lehman, white, of the International Brotherhood of Hotel and Restaurant Employees, will be the principal speaker. The union is to be presented a charter from the American Federation of Labor. Officers will be installed during the meeting.

TEN Dinner Meeting Of "Y" Leaders Met to Consider Plans for Seventy-fifth Anni= versary One hundred and fifty Y. M. C. A. leaders in Brooklyn and Queens attended a dinner meeting at the Hotel Bosset last Wednesday night to complete plans for a fitting recognition of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the Brooklyn and Queens Y. M. C. A. Members of the Board of Trustees, Board of Directors, Branch Boards of Managers, members of various activity committees and individual members assembled to hear Edwin P. Maynard's graphic report of 75 years of "Y" activity in Brooklyn and to hear "Y" plans for the immediate future which include a fitting observance of the 75th Anniversary and an inter-borough financial campaign to be held April It was four years after the California gold rush and twelve years before Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox that a committee of Congress sent to organize the first Y. M. C. A. in this borough. The six men who composed this committee were: Andrew Smith, Robert S. Bloemum, William C. C. D. Willis James, Charles W. Bloecker. They called a meeting on the evening of June 19, 1853, in the Second Congregational Church, with presiding officer A. Association similar to the one already existing in the City of New York. This first meeting was followed by others in quick succession. On November 15, 1853, adopted and on September 15 officers were elected and a Board of Managers named. The Brooklyn Association was the eighth Y. M. C. Association was the fourth. Those organized earlier were: Montreal, November 25, 1851; Boston, December 29, 1851; Worcester, March 9, 1852; Springfield, April 12, 1852; April 29, 1852; Washington, June 20, 1852; New York, June 30, 1852. The first regular place of meetings was a tiny space in the Washington Building, then at the corner of Court and the room was 2855 feet. One part was used as a reading room and the other as a "conversation room. At the onset the program of the Brooklyn Association for his act, owned by the Brooklyn "Y" was erected at Bond and Fulton streets in 1555. The cost with the lots was about $300,000. It was made possible by a gift of $250,000. Alanson Trask, and Virginia M. Monroe, legates of Frederick Murquod. To claim this gift, the Association met the one stipulation, of acquiring a $150,000 endowment fund. Organization of Branches began in 1892 with the establishment of the National Branch. This was followed by the organization the following Branches; Bedford, 1890; Prospect Park, 1891; Twenty-third Ward (now Highland Park), 1892; Third Ward (now Central Central Association), 1896; Fort Hamilton Army, 1896; Navy (affiliated), 1898; Fort Cotton Army, 1892; Carlton Avenue, 1896; Terminal, 1915; Merchant Seamens, 1918; Long Island City Industrial, 1919; Utrecht, 1919; Jamilla Town, Central Queen), 1920; Flushush, 1923; Flushush, 1924; Bay Ridge, 1925. After occupying new territory, the next logical step was consolidation. In 1926 the organization of the Metropolitan form of organization in Brooklyn was accomplished. During the period from 1902 to 1906 a Jubilee Fund of $800,000 was raised to the celebration of the 50th Anniversary, made possible the Eastern District, Bedford, and Greencpoint Branch Buildings and also met mortgaged indebtedness on other buildings. The new Central Branch Buildings in 1915 Hanson place was erected in 1915 by the Smith, $300,000 being given by his mother toward the erection of the building, friends of the Association and the building. The building remains the largest single "Y" unit in the world, both in size of the building and in membership. In 1913 the new Carlton Avenue Branch Building was secured through the gifts of the colored and the generous subscription of Mr. Julius Resewald of Chicago. The site and building of the Morrison Building in 1922 through the generous gift of Mrs. James Harvoy Williams in memory of her husband, and through from other friends of the Association. It was in 1920 that the directors of the Association decided to allow the keep pace with the rapidly growing population of Queens. From 1910 to 1920 the population increased from 1,518,319 to 2,457,198, or 30 per cent. The population estimated at 2,163,000. In 1920 the entirely inadequate to serve even the population of that period and it was early seen that an expansion campaign was required. No general campaign for built-up equipment had been conducted in Brooklyn for the "Y" since the Jubilee campaign of 1902-05. The Board of Directors planned to ask the public for a channel to provide ten new buildings, namely, Prospect Park, Flushing, Highland Central Queens, Bedford Boys, Plattsburgh, Fort Hamilton Army, New York City, Bay Ridge, as well as to take care John D.

A partial fund for the creation of each building was secured in the area before building operations were started. The amount of these local efforts with a general appeal. The balance needed on the new buildings together with accumulated and prospective budget amounts to $4,651,787. Of this amount the Board has decided to attempt to secure at least $3,276,787, which will cover the cost of the new buildings excepting certain mortgages. Edwin P. Maynard, as General Chairman of the 75th Anniversary Campaign, said: "The Y. M. C. A. has just completed seventy-five years of service and can estimate the good it has done. Such service deserves adequate recognition. The welfare of our boys and young men of today and those of the future demands the good support of the community. It is imperative that this community should not fail to show its appreciation of work so well done and to safeguard the future by providing the necessary support to Richardson Pratt, chairman of the Central Branch and head of the Initial Gifts Committee, outlined plans for the preliminary work which will precede the public effort. The Board of Directors, Board of Directors, Controller, member of the Board of Managers of the Central Branch, and chairman of the 75th Anniversary Committee, took special plans for observing the good of the three-quarters century mark. It. Rt. Rev. Bishop Ernest M. Stirres was the guest speaker of the evening. He paid an eloquent tribute to the work of the Y. M. C. A. and presented the officers and directors of the Brinkley School Association on the splendid record of these 75 years. He stressed the needs of our youth emphasizing the necessity for full support on the part of the community in helping the team to reach the immediate goal of the 15th Anniversary Campaign Fund. Commenting on this present situation, Frank C. Munson, President, of the highest level of Commission on the highest type of made a thorough detailed survey of each of the Branches and all the activities of the Brooklyn and New York branches, and many valuable recommendations. Also it has placed our Association among the leaders in this great movement. Statewide proclaim and endorsement should serve as a means of inspiration such as we have never received before, and working for our Anniversary Campaign Fund in the great work which we are undertaking. We shouldible preliminary campaign committees are being formed. Adequate recognition and celebration of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the 'Y' will be arranged in connection with the campaign rallies.

Bayonne NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1929 Pythias Bound in Black THE FOLLOWING INCIDENT is probably without a parallel in the history of African slavery. It took place at Huntsville, Mo., in 1854. A Negro slave by the name of Zimariah actually took the place of another Negro slave, David Jenkins, on the auction block, in order to spare Zerella, David's wife, sorrow. John Fort, owner of Zimariah, gave Zimariah permission to go in Jenkins' stead. Judge George H. Burkhart, white, of Huntsville, Mo., now dead, was present at the sale, and many folks are living who have heard him relate the circumstances in this poem. The story Judge Burkhart told agrees in detail with the version given here, and there is no doubt of its authenticity. An Intense Tragedy Poem of Love By OLIVER ALLSTORM WAS at Huntsville, in Missouri, away back in Fifty-four. (I sing of ante-bellum days and the auction-block of yore). When, 'twas "going Souf, po' niggah, an' we'll nevah see him mo'." "I have here a strong-limbed Negro," sang the sturdy auctioneer, "And there's not a blemish on him, and his eyes are bright and clear; "I am bid now, what's the starter? David Jenkins, step up here." David came and bared his bosom, bared his brawny limbs of steel, Showed his muscles that were bulging. strong with labor, love and weal; Muscles that were slow to weary, and were hardly made to feel. "Going, going at a thousand. 'Leven hundred? 'Leven? Say. "This here nigger's good for plowing—fifty years he'll earn his way. "Yes, he's married, but his lady isn't on the block today." But Zerella, wife of David, clung to David in despair, Clung until they tore her, fainting, from her helpless husband there. "Sold, to that man over yonder. Fourteen hundred. Bargain's rare." Then from out the black throng's wailing (like a hero come to life) Sprang the noble Zimariah—he had neither kin nor wife— And he begged to go for David, down the river into strife. "Mastah Fort, John Fort, mah mastah, says as I kin take his place." "What you say, there, speculator? How'd you like this nigger's face." "He's about as good's t'other, and I rather like his pace." THEN ZIMARIAH stood for David where the hope-abandoned sigh: And he glanced with heart-wrung longing to the sunset in the sky. 'Laud, Ah's gwine because Ah lubs her—Ah kain't stan' to see her cry." Then he walked in sorrow's silence with the chain-gang, cold and grim. And his eyes, once full of lustre, now were strangely dark and dim. and dim, For he saw Zerella weeping, and he knew it was for him. Just for him. And it was solace; it was recompense divine; It was glory come from shadows in the land of date and pine; And her tears were beaded jewels that would help his soul to shine. Then John Fort, the slave's good master, saw, but failed to understand, So he called to Zimariah. "Well, if you ain't got the sand, "Zim, you brazen, burly niggah, now you're bound to leave the land." "What'd you mean by trading places? Yes, I said that you might go. "But I thought you'd change your music when it came to make a show; "Now you're sold, clean sold, and going—well, somewhere, that's all I know." "Zim. I hate to see you leave me; you're a good old worker, Zim; "What's the farce, and what's the reason, choppin' sugarcane for him? "Ain't I been a kind old master; ain't I kept you slick and trim?" THEN POOR ZIM wailed out his story, all unselfish, sweet and plain; It was like the dew on roses, or like roses after rain; Half of it was filled with music, half was filled with grief and pain. "Mastah Fort. Ah lubs Zurella, an' Zurella once lubbed me; "We wuz neighbors back in Georgia, happy chillun, wild an' free; "We wuz lak two leaves together on de same limb ob a tree. "One wuz always wid de other, nebber wuz we long apart, "From de sunrise in de mornin' till de moonlight slowly start; "And sometimes we'd linger longer when de lovin' filled de heart. "We wuz lak two birds a flittin', fillin' in each happy hour; "We could fin' de sweetest honey in de mos' forsaken bower; "And de bees would of'en chase us when we beat 'em to a flower. "Den de years fly lak de robins an' Zerella grew more fair; "We would go to church together, an' together kneel in prayer.

"Massah John, there'll be no weepin' yonder in dat lan' so fair"— Then he stole a glance behind him, and he saw Zerella there— Wave a farewell, and her kerchief fluttered on the biting air. And the chain-gang, firmly shackled, hit the gang- plank on the run. Zim was eager for the journey that his heart had just begun. Then the steamboat's shrilling whistle pierced the air in Huntsville town, And the boat's wheel churned the waters like the frothing of a houn' And the heart-rent human cargo, dumb and brute-like, settled down.

OLIVER ALLSTORM, white, writer of this poem, is known throughout the South for his verse. He is the author of nine books of poems. His work includes scores of dialect pieces. A student of human nature, Mr. Allstorm has made a close study of Nogroes, as well as whites. His observations of the unsophisticated types of the South are possibly best expressed in "Ain't Dat Proof Enough?" and "De Lawd Look in de Window." The poet is also a plattform entertainer, orator and reader of his own works. He lives at 318 West Fifty-seventh street. Staten Island By LOUISE MICKLES.

Lincoln's Breaks SO MUCH has been written about Abraham Lincoln that it is hard to find anything new to say. Both the idolaters and the cynics have exhausted their vocabularies. Some have almost deified him, have dwelt upon everything he did or said as if it were holy writ, have apothecized him almost beyond humanity. Other have talked as if he were chiefly a teller of funny and sometimes ribald stories. Some are so "advanced" as to call him an enemy of the Negro. Certainly the plaster saints presented to school children as Lincoln and Washington are not the real men, for if they had been that goody-goody they never would have achieved anything ONE FEATURE of the life of Lincoln, and those of many other famous men, has been overlooked, and that is the peculiar breaks of fate that fell to them. The dearest desire of young-George Washington, for instance, was to become a midshipman and eventually an admiral in the British navy. Imagine the difference in his career and in the history of this country if his application had been accepted by the British Admiralty. The young Napoleon was so discouraged that he was on the point of leaving the army and going into real estate when the French Revolution broke out and changed his mind. His conqueror, Wellington, once tried to exchange his army commission for a position in the civil service. Julius Caesar, at the age of seventeen, was about to be executed after a civil war in Rome, but the officer in charge let him go because he judged that such a young fop would never amount to anything anyway. If that officer's eyes had been a little keener the history of the world would have been changed. THIS IS NOT TO SAY that luck and the breaks of fate are altogether accountable, for no amount of luck could make a Cuesar or a Lincoln out of an ordinary man. But that it is often the deciding factor no observant person will deny. Lincoln with all his mentality and character, would never have come into his own had it not been for two breaks in his life, and there may have been other men of his time who would have equaled him if they had not been sidetracked by destiny. ONE OF THE BREAKS that set Lincoln on his road to the White House was the death of Ann Rutledge, the girl he loved. He was engrossed in her, heart and brain, and would have devoted his life to her if she had lived. Absorption in a woman is not conducive to the achievement of great things. After that girl died Lincoln said there was nothing left to him but ambition. The other and greater break came when he was offered the governorship of the new territory of Oregon. He decided to accept it but his wife nagged him out of it. If he had been governing Indians and grizzly bears in Oregon when the great anti-slavery debates were on he would not have been nominated for the Presidency. As it was, he would not have been the nominee if the Republican convention, through some delay, had not been prolonged by a day. THOSE who like to muse upon the ways of destiny ought to reread the life of Lincoln. Breaks seem to come to those who can best use them; or it may be that breaks come to us all but only a few know them when they see them; and still fewer take full advantage of them. Break or no break, Abraham Lincoln will always be honored as one of the greatest men in the history of the Western Hemisphere. Frederick Douglass THE FAVORITE HERO of the American Negro is Frederick Douglass. Other men have built institutions for the race, have written splendidly, have been consummate diplomats, smoothing the Negro's way in the world, have carried him to a point perhaps not dreamed of by Dauglass. But Douglass is the man upon whom the hearts of all factions unite in love and admiration. Every black man should be proud of the impulse to take off his hat before a portrait of that bold face, with the mane of a lion, the brow of an eagle, and eyes of lightning. He envies the generation that felt that magnificent presence and heard that thunderous voice. He is thrilled at the indomitable fighting spirit that burned in that imposing frame, at the noble pride with which Douglass said to a railroad conductor who told him he would have to ride in the baggage car: "You cannot humiliate Frederick Douglass." DOUGLASS left a lesson of courage to the Negro, courage not only to bear, but to fight. He left a lesson of manly pride and self-respect. If he were living today he would have no patience with the talk of defeat and discouragement that is so often heard. With fists and feet he would go after the intellectuals who think it a sign of advancement to daub and damn their race with all the filth of Sodom and Gomorrah. His cry would be "Heads up!" HE IS DEAD but his spirit lives. It lives on in the great million-masses of the race, hardworking, God-fearing, silently but inexorably moving onward, gathering themselves in a vast, upsurging tide that will some day sweep the Negro into his rightful place in the world. Yes, Let's Get Together! WE ARE IN HEARTY AGREEMENT with the New York Age's editorial of last week that "it is somewhat paradoxical that the Negro press, which is always advocating unity and organization as a panacea for all ills, has been unable to perfect or maintain a real live newspaper organization," to "get together on advertising and news policies," to which we would also add circulation policies and circulation figures. Also, it is agreeable to us that such an organiza- City Negro's Economic Future tion "should make some combination based on the total circulation of all of its members, which would be fair to the advertisers and advantageous to the individual paper." SINCE SUCH AN ORGANIZATION is a vital need, why not begin with it in New York City? To fill the need, however, individual members of such an organization would have not only to be fair, but honest with themselves and with the general and advertising public. Take, for instance, the circulation figures of newspapers published in New York City—figures on which their advertising rates are supposedly based. How many of these publications are willing, not as members of an organization, but as individual publishers, to prove that they have the circulation they claim? If a nuh- THE cityward rush of the Negro has constituted the gravamen of race discussion since the beginning of the World War. Negroes in unprecedented numbers have been rushing into the great cities with such volume and impressiveness as to crowd out all other consideration. Economic betterment constitutes the chief motive of the movement. Higher wages make the chief appeal. We have been so impressed with the instant wages that we have failed to give adequate attention to our teaching practice; this migration movement is destined to have upon the Negro's comprehensive economic status. Naturally enough, our first attention was attracted to the question of housing this great board of newcomers. This gave rise to the issue of residential aggregation to which for the past five or six years so much attention has been devoted. This issue is now practically settled. The Negro newcomer is domiciled in separate residential areas which are gradually enlargening to meet the expanding needs of the growing population. During the past campaign our attention was attracted to the political possibility of the city Negro birthplace of his segregated situation. Negro representatives were sent to the aldermancy of the several cities and to the State legislatures and, in one instance, to the Congress of the United States. But the real economic significance of the Northern movement awaits comprehensive treatment. In many cities the segregation --- (Editor's Note: The following article is a continuation of the account of an auto trip through several European countries.) LEAVING Vienna, we went on to Innsbruck, a quaint old town in the Tyrol, a part of the Alps. Innsbruck is an important railroad center, being the meeting place of the expresses for Berlin, Rome and Paris. It lies at the foot of towering, snow-clad mountains. Leaving Innsbruck we began to climb the mountains, and an hour or so later we were looking almost straight down at the town with the sublime beauty of the Alps all around us. Innsbruck is near the Italian border, and not long after we were at the Italian customs and immigration station, where we underwent the most rigid examination of all the trip. The examination at the other borders was a mere formality, but here it was real. A guard of stern aspect examined our papers and made us take down our baggage from the top of the car, which was the first time we have had to do so. At the Italian border one is certainly made to feel that he is entering a land where stern military rules prevail and where one must watch his step. From this point we began to descend the mountains. The one who drives a car along here must certainly know his business. My wife is a full time, for there are great yawning precipices along the rim of which the wheels skirt much of the time, for the road is narrow and there LETTERS TO THE EDITOR NEEDLE WORKERS Henry Rosemond Volcens Appeal to Support Dressmakers' Union.

DISAGREES Miss Fanny Swatz Says Aubrey Bowser's Criticism Did Not Do Book Justice. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News.

His fine house is climbed about his neck as a Roman corpse to the living culprit. The economic status of the city Negro must be determined not in terms of his wages but, rather, by the margin between his income and living requirements. The city Negro has assumed a living standard constantly equal to that of the average ordinary white citizen. He lives in as good home, eats the same quality of food, wears a white clothing, and indulges in as exquisite foods and luxuries on a basis of much smaller income. It requires only an elementary knowledge of arithmetic to predict the outcome after this process has proceeded for a number of years. We are too often misled by the fine showing of the professional classes, but they add nothing to the general economic equation. What the laboring man makes, the professional man takes. The teacher, the doctor, the preacher and the lawyer do not add one cubic inch to our economic stature. They merely illustrate the distribution, not the production, of wealth. We must look to the laborer, the business man, the manufacturer, the enterprising industrial leaders to augment the economic equation. Often the Negro bootleger, gambler, and "numbers" promoter can make the greatest showing of wealth. They are purely economic parasites, who add to the economic welfare, but flirt upon the durability of the easily deceived multitude. The city Negro is, in the main, a hand laborer, dependent upon his daily or weekly wage. This may also be true of the great bulk of white people, with the important in the hollow of the mountains. These are for the power plants, white coal, as it is called, for Italy has no coal nor petroleum. Indeed, it has no mineral deposits to speak of and must rely on the outside world even for such an ordinary thing as iron ore. Up the mountain came troops of Fascist soldiers to take part in the annual manoeuvres, panting, perspiring. I recall the time when I was in the army and had to do likewise, though nothing near so difficult as climbing the Alps on foot. Well, I went down the mountains in a comfortable motor car, while these poor devils, who get about two or three cents a day, shouted about the hot sun, I reflect that life is not so bad, after all, for some. And as I went down the mountains I had it further bought home to me that poor as I am I was really a millionaire in comparison with some. For Italy is the land of poverty—the land of grim struggle for mere existence. I recall, too, that over this same road on which we were came Cascar and his legions. They took weeks and weeks, while we did the same thing in less than than a working day. An aeroplane would do it in less than an hour. Pasging through typical Italian villages we arrived at Cortina, whica is a mountain resort. Splendid cars or tourists, exchange offices, fine hotels and restaurants and bathers in the big river nearby. I have forgotten its name. It is the lake, for some of the Italian battlefields of the last war are to be found in this region. On leaving Innsbruck our objective was Venice, and after a ride of ten hours we arrived at迭摩, the nearest point of land to Venice. agree with Mr. Bowser. I found much in the book to command. It seems to me to be highly instructive and entertaining. The stories are wonderfully detailed and come very fine lines and much philosophy. Mr. Bradley's poems are very easy to read. They run along smoothly, and this seems to be, to me, the sign of a true poet. (Giswald) PANNY SWATZ. 1654 Pound Place. Brooklyn, N. X. Feb. 7, 1928. Atty.

Lynch and the chief clerk of the Seventh District Court. I do believe that every member Feb. 10, 1929. Eisher's circulation figures are not honest, his advertising rate is not honest; and how can a preponderance of these dishonest circulation figures better the circulation or advertising outlook of the newspapers? THE AMSTERDAM NEWS is willing to join hands with the New York Age, or any other New York Newspaper, to form an association for our mutual benefit, whether in news-gathering, similar to the New York City News Association, circulating, distributing or advertising. We are willing to combine our circulation with that of the New York Age, or any other newspaper, for the securing of advertising. We can prove that we have the net paid circulation we claim—28,000 weekly—and would insist that the Age, or any other newspaper, in such an association prove its circulation claims. SPECIAL ARTICLES distinction that the white worker has before him the opportunity of advancement to the higher forms of work and reward. The city Negro is not very greatly enlarging his economic estate by his own business energy and income and successful lines of independent business within the race is seen in the Negro barber shop, restaurant or places of entertainment and amusement. These are, in their very nature, limited to a narrow margin between income and expense account. Harely does the white worker have the business of a highly remunerative type, such as dry goods, groceries, or general merchandise. Harlem furnishes a classic illustration of the principle which I am trying to describe. I know that the conditions are hard: competition is force; opportunity is scant. It is hard to beat the Jews. Little business is being swallowed up by the chain stores. The man with little or no capital is at the mercy or the dealer with great skill. But, alas, such the true "Waizy, pit'y, the true 'tis; 'is a pity, or the class which is wholly or all but wholly dependent upon daily wages derived from the lower forms of service can hardly hope to keep pace with the advancing title of economic progress. And, yet, the optimistic note should be sounded. Our young men with spirit and ambition should be encouraged to launch upon the sea of economic advancement. The economic future of the city is it now faces the race is not over now. Have our young men the energy, initiative and enterprise to usher in a more auspicious day? --- On reaching the plains we stopped at Trevise for dinner. Trevise awakens memories of Gen. Alexander Dumas. It was he who was sent by Napoleon to conquer this region. He did it, and became governor of the province, performing his duties so well that when Napoleon rocalled him for service in the army the Trevisans negged Napoleon to let him remain, and as a paring gift they presented him with a fine carriage and four horses. Dumas, who was a mulatto, his mother being a humble black woman of San Domingo, was one of the greatest generals France has had that Napoleon the Revolution he rose from sargent to third in command of the French army, all in twenty-two months. But for his quarrel with Napoleon there was no saying to what height he might not have risen. Arriving at Mestre, our chauffeur, of whom I mean to speak of later, went in search of lodgings. One thing we had discovered was that on no account should we let prospective hosts see the car, for then up would go prices. So pulling off to a side street the chauffeur went into one of the room and got rooms for us at a reasonable price—a price below that marked on the card in the room, for with the Mussolini regime that landlord is made to mark the price of each room. Mestre is a very small town, and during the night the fact that we had arrived in a car had gone about. The heavy bills we had presented us for everything we had were enough to speak for the European's respect for an American's pocketbook. of the law profession should give Attorney Lynch assistance so that he may get proper satisfaction from the clerk.

There are many forms of goitre, and the size of the gland is not an index of the severity of the disease, since some of the very slightly enlarged glands produce marked symptoms, whereas large glands may produce moderate, if any, symptoms. THE BLACKER THE BERRY By Wallace Thurman Published by Macaulay, New York. $2.50 THIS is an age of pessimism in literature, especially in literature concerning the Negro. With one or two ex- ceptions, all the novels written about the Negro in the past five years are calculated to leave the reader asking himself: "What's the use of a Negro's living, if this is all life holds for him?" They leave a bad taste in the mind, if not in the mouth. The authors pass over the thousands of Negroes who are living bravely, if not happily, and select the sickliest characters they can find. Thus their books are peopleled with cowards, toads, degenerates and plain fools, with hardly a manly or womanly fibre in them. Goutte affects women more often than its does men, and begins most frequently in late childhood. The drinking water in some districts is regarded as cause of the disease. It has been recently discovered that the reason for the marked increase in the occurrence of this disease in certain localities is due to a lack of n substance called thyroxin in the water. This substance is derived from iodine, so that the trouble seems to be a deficiency in iodine of the soil, water or food. We will consider just two main types of gout: the first is the large soft gland in the neck which produces no symptoms other than may result from pressure on the surrounding parts; the other is the oedema of the neck and hard gland with symptoms of loss of weight, nervousness, rapid heart, tremor of hands, moist skin and sometimes bulging of the eyeballs. Together with these two forms of disturbance of the thyroid glands there may be an enlargement of the thyroid at puberty or during pregnancy. The thyroid glands may size in these cases or may remain somewhat enlarged without symptoms. Women especially worry about any degree of swelling in the front part of the neck, and on examination are found to be quite normal in so far as symptoms from their thyroid are consistent with the thyroid gland is secreting more than normal an increase of body activity takes BOOK I Black THE BLACKER THE BERRY Published by Macau THIS is an age of pessimistic literature concerning the cceptions, all the novels past five years are calculated by self: "What's the use of a hold for him?" They leave in the mouth. The authors groes who are living bravely, sickliest characters they can fled with cowards, toads, dearly a manly or womanly To this tendency there are two notable exceptions. After you have scraped the dirt off of "Home to Harlem" you will find a real man in it. A far more palatable exception is "Walls of Jericho," which dares to present Negro men and women worth meeting and encourages the belief that its author is destined to write "the" Negro novel. The trouble is that the Negro author, whether it be his fault or not, has got off on the wrong foot. This is called the age of realism or naturalism in literature, and the Negro is not ready for it. An age of realism requires many preceding ages of epical, heroic, romantic literature. After the white race's ego has been fortified by its illads, Nibelungenlied and countless other sagas, it can afford a few whiffs of naturalism. All the white nations started in with their heroes and are just as well rounded to their unherboic types. To put it plainly, healthy, grown and stand a few drinks of whiskey, because his constitution has been built up against any ironda they might make; but giving whiskey to a small child is quite another matter. The Negro has no epics to sustain him. His Caesar, Siegfried, Beowulf, Achilles and Vikings left no sagas behind them; he may have had none, for all he knows. Lacking them he might have been the knives he knows of, his King Christophe, Fred Douglas, Chaka, Toussaint L'Ouverture, Cetewayo, Crispus Attucks and others, or to his less distinguished contemporaries who are bearing ungamy against adversity. Instead of that, he starts in with realism and naturalism, abstraction results is not healthy, either for the Negro's ego or his literature. "The Blacker the Berry," by Wallace Thurman, is a realistic novel, whose general theme is that a black girl migat as well have been strangled at birth. Emma Lou Morgan, the heroine, is a jet-black girl in a light-colored family. From her infancy her mother and all her relatives that blackness at her life it becomes the burden her life. She goes away to school, but there her light-schoolmates avoid her. Thinking that people in the East are broader-minded, she runs off to New York, to Harlem. She leaves her chastity in the West, but a little thing like that doesn't matter, for an up-to-date novel doesn't Fit to the mem- (1852-1923) wn. M.D. the thyroid gland characterized nt of this gland in the neck of goitre, and the size of the severity of the disease, since argued glands produce marked eds may produce moderate, if place sometimes without any other symptom. This increased activity can be tested for, and is often done, is rule out the possibility of an overactive thyroid gland even in the absence of enlargement in the neck. If you are worried about any neck pain, in the front part of your neck, have it registered, and if it be found to be of the noxious type, leave it alone and stop worrying. Until recently it was the custom to treat all these cases with iodine, and as a result some cases got worse. It has been proved that iodine has a definite indication in the treatment of the big soft gout* and in some of the enlargements of the gland at puberty. In the other poisonous glands with symptoms, iodine is be used only once. The patient needs operation, since the benefits from iodine soon reach a point* of maximum good, after which time iodine is infurious. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries surgery on the thyroid gland was forbidden by law, since most of the patients died from bleeding sheared the point where the risk in this operation is not probably so great as in the removal of an appendix when the operation is performed by a skilled surgeon. The exposure of these glands to X-Ray has reduced to some extent. Have any enlargement in your neck diagnosed first, then worry afterwards—if you must!

In Harlem, alas! she finds the same thing she fled from in the West. Without talent or striking personality, and polygamous care, she is unable to make friends. Brimming with the sexuality that she unleashed in the West, she picks up men at movie houses and pays all the expenses of her adventures. Thus she is easy prey for the Harlem plumps. Soon she is living a life with women, who course, treats her like a dog. She loves her pimp because he is yellow in color, and in spite of the fact that he is yellow in nature. For this black girl, who is so bitter at prejudice, has her own warped prejudice. She suffers when lighter people shun her because she is black, yet she will have nothing to do with men who are black. She is in her black heaven when she walks down Serenite avenue with a yellow man beside her. Her twisted mind makes her mercy she is but misogyny is an intelligent for then she would suffer even more than she does. For analysis of character, this is the best part of the novel. To tell more of the story would he unfair to the author. He shows that, while white authors writings about Negroes may satisfy themselves and their white public that they are telling the truth, they can never, with all their skill, down into the Negro character like a colored author. This author is not a finished story-teller or desider of character; he lacks a sense of drama; but he strives intermittent chords that practice may make continuous. "The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice," they say. This berry is lack enough but it leaves still feeling the juice. There are black girls, many of them, who have triumphantly weathered the storms that snuck Emma Lou. We wish the author had chosen one of them.
