MAN KILLS WOMAN HE SAYS CAST EVIL SPELLS OVER HIM
Victim, Who Evidently Believed in Weird Concoctions and Superstitions, Choked to Death—Police Interrupt Mutilation of Corpse
Because she cast voodoo spells over him was the excuse given the police by Nathaniel Conway, 44, 168 110th street, for the brutal slaying of his common-law wife, Mary Johnson, 40, in their home early Sunday morning. The man is now in the observation ward of Bellevue Hospital, charged with homicide.

Conway, according to the police, chooked his wife to death and then stabbed and hacked her body with a large bread knife. The first notification the police had of the gruesome murder was when Alfred Preston, a tenant in the house, notified Policeman Harold Bergman, of the East 104th street station, that something mysterious was going on in the house.
The policeman hurried to the Conway apartment and as he opened the door he found Conway with a knife in his hand, slumped over the body of the Johnson woman, who lay dead on the kitchen floor, with her head in a pool of blood.
Seeing the policeman, Conway first hurled the blood-stained knife at Bergman. He then picked up a milk bottle and threw it at the policeman, who, by this time, had drawn his revolver. Bergman fired a shot at Conway, the bullet grazing his temple. "Brunched for the moment," Conway was quickly subdued and arrested.
Later, after treatment by an ambulance doctor, Conway recounted his reason for slaying the woman, adding that Policeman Bergman was part of the voodoo spell cast upon him by his late amour.
When Captain Hackett of the East 104th street station reached the apartment, Conway pointed to him and asked: "Are you an American citizen?" When Hackett answered in the affirmative, Conway replied:
"Well, call out the marines, Lafayette, we are here!"
Conway told the police that he had known the woman for about two years, and that he had been living with her for the past two weeks at the 110th street address. Her spells and charms were too much for him, he said, as they caused him to see queer things. He determined to choke the spirits out of her, he told the police, so when he awoke Sunday morning he "placed his hand around her throat and squeezed hard." After he had killed her, Conway said he picked up a large bread knife, sat down on her chest, and proceeded to stab and hack her body. He had cut away a considerable part of her head and face when Policeman Bergman arrived.
The alleged voodoo victim told the police that the woman compelled him to eat "goofer dust"; dried tomat skins stewed in oil, to make him see in the dark; dried sea gull brains, to secure him from danger in storms, and dried powdered lizard's eyes, to prevent rheumatism. One press report stated that instead of suffering from bats before the eyes, Conway was a victim of "bats in the belly." The body of the slain woman was
The body of the slain woman was removed to the morgue, where an autopsy will be performed.
Mrs. Rebecca Siegel, proprietor of the tenement, said Mary Johnson lived in dread of a black and white cat which prowled about the building and often predicted that she would have "bad luck" because the cat had passed her on the stairways, despite her attempt to counter the spell by crossing two fingers of each hand.
Divorce Sought
Laurence Springer, 1882 Dean street, filed an action for divorce against his wife, Mrs. Nellie Springer, in the Supreme Court on Thursday, through his attorney, Henry Bona-witz.

'Pen of Freedom' Arouses Dispute
'Pen of Freedom' Arouses Dispute
With the Anderson Galleries prepared to offer for sale this afternoon the pen purported to have been used by Abraham Lincoln in signing the Emancipation Proclamation, a Michigan woman was protesting the proposed sale on the grounds that she owns the original pen.
The mystery deepened yesterday when it was recalled that another pen declared to have been used by Lincoln in freeing the slaves was sold for $1,000 in Philadelphia in 1924. The pen on sale today came from the family collection of Louis Burgdorf, white, who was a messenger for the then President.
Burgdorf was said to have smoothed the document while Lincoln signed the order giving liberty to millions of people. Affidavits by the messenger and his daughter authenticate his claim.
The other claimant to ownership is Mrs. Stuart Pritchard, white, of Battle Creek, Mich. The woman avers that the pen was given to her grandmother by Mrs. Lincoln.
The pen auctioned in Philadelphia was said to have been given by Lincoln to Charles A. Sumner, who later gave it to James Wormley, owner of the Wormley Hotel in Washington.
Harvard Man Wins In Jim Crow Tilt Hotel Manger Settles for Insult Handed College Student
An insult handed a Harvard University senior was acknowledged and amends made-last Wednesday in the Third District Court when the Hotel Manger was allowed to settle the matter and prevent action in the courts under the Civil Rights law.
The trouble originated November 24, when Julian D. Steele, Harvard man, with five white students came here for the Harvard-Yale football game. Reservations had been made in advance at the Hotel Manger, otherwise known as the Seventh Avenue and Piftthit Street Corporation. They presented themselves at the desk and were registered, but when Steele started to his room with the others the clerk insisted that there had been some mistake and he could not get lodging.
The student showed his receipt and was allowed to go upstairs only after a scene in the lobby and the five white friends had insisted that Steele be given service. One of his companions had his single room changed to a double one and took Steele in with him.
Philip J. Jones, 379 Bridge street, Brooklyn, represented Steele and fought the hotel's contentions that the student was disorderly and unfit to be allowed lodging.
Trio Freed of Charge
Arthur Conquest, 27; Charles Lewis, 20, and Dorsie Evans, 20, all of 180 St. Elliott place, were dismissed from the charge of stealing a motor truck belonging to Joseph Pine from in front of Pine's home, at 475 Lenox avenue, when the case was heard in Heights Court before Maristrel Dodge, on February 5,

Fine of One Penny Even Is Too Much, Sometimes
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Feb. 25 (ANP)—One penny is a mere pittance when you have money, but if you haven't that sole brownie, it looms as a huge bank roll. If you don't believe it, ask I. G. Bean, who faced such a situation here in court last Tuesday morning.
Bean had run afoul of the law and was hailed before Judge W. I. Grubb of the United States District Court. The fact was brought out that Bean had been discovered with two pints of liquor in his possession about two months ago and since that time had been in jail.
Feeling that the prisoner had remained in jail long enough the judge imposed a fine of one dollar. Bean shook his head and explained that he would have to stay in jail as he did not have the dollar, due to the expense of sending out for meals during the proceeding two months.
The judge then reduced the sentence to one penny. Again Bean had to confess that the fine was too much for his pocketbook and started back for jail. The United States Deputy Marshal, John T. Stewart, however, came to his rescue and paid the fine, and Bean was a free man. Thanking both the judge and the marshal, Bean walked out of court smiling with happiness.

UNLICENSED DOCTOR CAUGHT SECOND TIME IN ANTI-DRUG NET
Dr. Edward B. Ramsey, Howard Graduate, Also Figured in Sensational Divorce Raid Here Two Years Ago
Charged with possessing morphine in violation of the Public Health law, Edward B. Kamsey, 50, 55 St. Nicholas place, a Kansas City, Mo., physician, who figured prominently in a sensational divorce raid on Edgecombe avenue in 1927, was arraigned in Heights Court Thursday before Magistrate Dodge and held in $1,000 bail for a further hearing April 4.
Mr. DePriest is the first, Negro to be sent to Congress from a Northern state, at any time, in the history of this country. He, succeeds the late Martin B. Madden, white, who died over a year ago. The last Negro to sit in Congress was George White of North Carolina, who retired in 1901.
The new Congressman-elect comes from a district where the colored population outnumbers the white-five to one and where the former group owns $400,000,000 in property. This district also includes the white business district often referred to as "the Wall Street section of Chicago."
The forces of race prejudice, intrigue and political blackmail did their best to make Mr. DePriest quit his race for Congressman, but he kept on to victory.
At the present time he is under an indictment on charges of political corruption in his district. The indictment was over his head at the time of his election, and a bitter fight is anticipated in Congress beginning Monday, Inauguration Day, in an effort to prevent him from being seated.
UNLICENSED CAUGHT SE IN ANTI- Dr. Edward B. Ramsey, How in Sensational Divo Years Charged with possessing mo Health law, Edward B. Ramse Kansas City, Mo., physician, wh sational divorce raid on Edgecom in Heights Court Thursday before $1,000 bail for a further hearing
Detective Irwin O'Leary of the Fifth Division testified that, on January 21, he found in the doctor's possession, at 75 St. Nicholas place, several morphine tablets, three hypodermic syringes and eleven needles, together with physicians' instruments, in a dusty bag. The needles were rusty, the officer said.
The doctor admitted possession of the tablets, but said he never used them.
When questioned by Magistrate Dodge, Dr. Ramsey revealed that he was graduated from Howard University Medical School and received his license to practice medicine in the State of Missouri in 1800. He was a practicing physician in Kansas City for twenty years, he said, leaving there for Chicago in 1821 and coming to New York about two years ago.
Dr. Ramsey admitted that in 1920 (Continued on 'Page 2.')
Also, the Southern ghost of "social equality," has come to the fore regarding Mr. DePriest, and especially concerning Mrs. DePriest, who has been the main topic of discussion in the club formed by Congressmen's wives ever since her husband's election.
The discussion by Mr. DePriest of how he plans to meet these problems lends decided interest to his address Sunday, following which he will leave for Washington.
Alderman Fred R. Moore, also editor of the New York Age, will make the address of welcome on behalf of the city; the Rev. William Lloyd Imes, pastor of St. James' Presbyterian Church, will welcome Mr. DePriest on behalf of the clergy; Casper Holstein, on behalf of the fraternal organizations; Mrs. M. C. Lawton, on behalf of women's organizations; Fred D. Johnson, on behalf of the lawyers, and others not selected Monday.
Mrs. Willie Mays of the Hall Johnson Choir, Mrs. Winifred Watson, David Johnson and Mrs. Maude Bascombe Cummings will appear on the musical program.

Charged with burglary, Morris Tramaine, 24, 235 West 142d street, who said he was a pugilist fighting under the name of Jackie Tremaine, was held in $1,500 bail for the Grand Jury when arraigned Saturday before Magistrate Dodge in Heights Court. The complainant was Kittle Brown, white, owner of a dress shop at 2688 Eighth avenue.
Alleged Wife Slayer To Be Heard Today
Andrew Gibreel, 28, 12 West 118th street, was held without ball for a hearing in the Homicide Court today, when he was arraigned Sunday before Magistrate Well in Harlem Court, charged, with stabbing to death his wife, Marie, 28, in the hallway of 15 West 115th street last Friday night.
Although the police say Gibreel has been identified by several witnesses, who say they saw him kill his wife, Gibreel protested his innocence, and accused Juan Puig, in whose home at the 115th street address Mrs. Gibreel lived, of doing the killing.
Child Slayer, 15,
Judged Defective
Bellcolla Whitney Mentally Deficient; Sentenced to Reformatory
A sordid and tragic little drama of a former little North Carolina girl "who never had a chance" had its final episode Monday in General Sessions, when Bellcolla Whitney, 15, was sentenced to the Bedford Reformatory by Judge Max S. Levine. The sentence came after the child was adjudged mentally defective, after investigation by District Attorney Banton's office. The mere child confessed last month to alding in the attempted murder of the wife of her companion in Shrewsbury, N. J., and the later killing of the husband-criminal in a downtown factory loft Dec. 20.
John MacKay, who, with the child, carried the body of Mrs. MacKay out of the Jersey home after striking the woman on the head with an ax, fled here with Bellcolla on Dec. 13 after the deed. The child smashed MacKay's skull with a heavy, iron. bar when altercation arose between the pair in a Thirty-first street loft they were attempting to rob.
The girl was taken in by the Children's Ald Society and was later forced to confess when faced by Mrs. MacKay, who recovered from the attempted murder. The child was represented in court by Attorney Oscar Garrett, 2303 Seventh avenue.
Wife of Dentist Dies in Sanitarium
Mrs. Isabel Pottinger Fails to Rally Following Operation
Succumbing to an operation for appendicitis after her recovery seemed practically assured. Mrs. Isabel Pottinger, former Washington school teacher and wife of Dr. S. H. Pottinger, dentist, 2412 Seventh avenue, died Thursday night at the Wiley Wilson Sanitarium, 200 West 138th street.
Puneral rites were conducted Saturday night at St. Martin's P. C. Church, 122d street and Lenox avenue, with the Rev. John Howard Johnson, rector, conducting the services. Duncan Brothers' funeral establishment, 2303 Seventh avenue, had charge of the body.
Interment was made Sunday at Alexandria, Va., where Mrs. Pottinger was born thirty-nine years ago. Only her husband and two aunts survive.
Mrs. Pottinger received her education in Alexandria and in Washington. She taught in the public schools of the latter city prior to her marriage to the dentist there in 1919. The pair moved here immediately.

Reporter Who Witnessed Affair Says Suspect Was Kicked, Clubbed, Blackjacked and Punched in Stomach by Several Officers While Held by Others
Like a pack of hungry wolves pouncing upon their prey, six or more white and colored patrolmen of the West 135th street station set violently upon Edward Allen, 32, 247 West 128th street, and beat and kicked him almost into unconsciousness at 127th street and St. Nicholas avenue Sunday afternoon a few minutes after two o'clock. A reporter of The Amsterdam News witnessed the assault.

John Griger Sentenced as Fourth Offender for $1,150 Theft
With a record of having spent nearly half of his life behind prison bars, John Griger, 37, who formerly lived at 18 West 133d street, was sentenced Thursday to life imprisonment at Sing Sing. Sentence was imposed by Judge Morris Koenig in General Sessions for grand larceny. The jurist, however, in sentencing the convict under the Baumes law, stated that he would not oppose commutation of Griger's sentence after ten years. Known as "the bag man," Griger made a specialty of stealing the luggage of wealthy persons. He was charged with having taken more than $40,000 worth of suicides and travelling bags. Griger, also known as Charles Moreland, was extradited from Boston December 13 after a theft committed only twelve days following his release from Sing Sing. The last conviction was for stealing $1,150 worth of luggage from Dr. L. C. Sansford, white, while the latter was a guest of the Hotel Roosevelt, last November. The ruse employed by Griger was to pose as a porter when guests entered hotels and simply walk out the door opposite the entrance and disappear around a handy corner.

The dilapidated Dodge coupe which Allen was driving had collide- de with the private car of Andrew Duff, white, 807 Maple avenue, Rich- field, N. J., at 132d street and Lenox avenue, and Allen made a sensa- tional escape from the scene.
Lives of pedestrians and motorists were endangered during Allen's mad dash through the streets.
Patrolmen George Webber and Alonzo Matthews were compelled to jump for their lives when they plant- ed themselves in the path of the car in an effort to stop it.
An unknown woman was knocked down in the gutter on Lenox avenue, when Allen's car /swerved into her after striking a bank of snow. One other motorcar was struck by the fleeing Allen, but without serious damage, it is sald.
Car Had No Brakes; Liquor Cargo Found
Two possible reasons, both exceedingly plausible, developed regarding Allen's failure to stop when ordered to do so. First, the car contained about ten gallons of liquor; second, the car had defective brakes, the police reported. The license number was N-4-33-20, New York, and Pearl Giles. 484 Lonox avenue, is said to be the owner.
Allen was booked on charges of reckless driving, driving without a license and violation of the Volstead Act. Albert Banks, 42, 1316 Bancroft street. a companion of Allen, was booked on a Volstead charge.
Allen will be arraigned in Federal and Traffic Court, while Banks is held for trial in the former.
A Wild Chase
Duff's wife was quite shaken up when Allen's coupe struck their car from the rear, while both were headed north on Lenox avenue at 132d street. According to Patrolmen Webber and Matthews, Allen backed up and started off.
They dashed in front of his car and Allen nearly ran them down as he swung around into 132d street and drove east to Fifth avenue, to 135th street, west to Lenox avenue.
Banks jumped out and ran. Webber captured him, turned him over to a fellow officer, while he, Matthews and others took up the chase on the runningboards of commanded taxicabs. Allen's car dashed south on Lenox avenue to 132d street, turned west to Seventh ave.

JUDGE CALLS MAN "MEANEST BEAST"
$5,000 Bail Set for Son Who Is Under Arrest Charged With Beating Mother
"Meanest Beast Ever Arraigned Before Me," Says Magistrate Weil in Harlem Court; Parent Struck Over Head With Chair
Charged with assaulting his mother, Mrs. Maggie Grey, 165 West 127th street, with a chair, James Madison, 22, 46 West 139th street, was held in $5,000 bail for the Grand Jury on Thursday, after Magistrate Weil in Harlem Court had referred to him as "the meanest beast ever arraigned before me."
TWG
Mrs. Grey told the Magistrate that her son came to her home intoxicated on Feb. 17, at 9 o'clock in the evening. He began to quarrel with her and when she remonstrated with him for his actions, he picked up a chair and struck her across the face, Inflicting a cut across her nose and forehead which necessitated three stitches.
After the assault Mrs. Grey was taken to Harlem Hospital, where she received medical treatment.
Her son was arrested on a charge of felonious assault by Policeman Gordon of the Inner City told street station. Madison appeared Thurst-in court with both her eyes discolored, and a patch on her nose.
After Mrs. Grey had told 'of the assault committed upon her by her son, the Magistrate held him in 5,000 half for the Grand Jury.

nue, south to 131st street, west to
Eighth avenue and south to 127th
street. Allen slowed down a bit to
make a turn west and the exciting
chase ended at 127th street and St.
Nicholas avenue.
The Wolf Pack
Matthews drew his gun and ordered Allen out of the car after the old Dodge had skidded around and pointed east. In less than two minutes nearly a dozen patrolmen from the West 135th street station were on the scene, and a crowd of over a hundred people gathered.
Immediately Allen stepped out of the car the policemen began beating him and pounding him with vicious blows about the face and body. Soon six patrolmen were all beating him at once, drawing blood from Allen's mouth. Patrolman Cohen struck him over the head with a blackjack, but the blow did not take full effect because so many of the officers were crowded around the prisoner.
Allen did not attempt to resist arrest at any time after the police arrived and pleaded with the officers to stop beating him.
When a witness protested, the police replied that Allen had tried to kill two policemen.
Patrolman Webber, formerly a member of the detective division, came up to Allen and repeated the question that all the policemen had put to him: "Why didn't you stop when we told you?"
Held by Four Cops
While four patrolmen held Allen by the arms, Webber delivered at least six well-almed, terrific blows with his fist into the pit of Allen's stomach. Allen bent in two. Women in the crowd screamed and witnesses protested. Webber's attitude was plainly one of revenge. "You damned near run over me," he said to Allen, and then set upon him so savagely that all the other patrolmen called to him to stop.
While Allen lay on the ground, Webber beat him on the feet with his blackjack. Only the prisoner's strong frame and constitution enabled him to withstand the fierce assault without losing consciousness. Allen was placed in a taxicab and

taken to the West 135th street station, where Matthews struck him another blow in the face, in the vestibule, entirely without provocation. Allen's left eye was closed and swollen. Allen and Banks were then booked on charges. The New Jersey motorist and his wife entered no complaint against the prisoners. All persons who witnessed the alleged brutal, unwarranted assault by the policemen, especially those who would be willing to help stop such savage outburst by men in police uniforms, are requested to get in touch with the Editor of The Amsterdam News at once, in person, if possible. It might also be stated that Captain Archipoloff of the Sixteenth police precinct is not in sympathy with brutal police methods and has promised to support The Amsterdam News in its opposition to them.
Unlicensed Physician Again Under Charge
(Continued from Page 1.) he was sentenced to one year and one day in Leavenworth Prison on a charge of possessing narcotics. He served his time and his physician's license was cancelled. Dr. Ramsey showed the court both his university diploma and the Kansas City license. Atty. Julius S. Berk, white, 225 West Thirty-fourth street, representing Dr. Ramsey, disclosed that he had interceded for his client before the New York Medical Board of Regents in January, 1928, and succeeded in having Dr. Ramsey take the examination that would enable him, if he passed, to obtain a license for the practice of medicine here. Dr. Ramsey told the court that he had made a mark of sixty-five, and that he had, through his attorney, asked the board to take into consideration his twenty years' practice in Kansas City. The action of the Board is now pending, it is said.
Magistrate Dodge wanted to know if the Board had knowledge of Dr. Ramsey's prison record and, if so, what reason was given by the Board for allowing Dr. Ramsey to take the examination under this condition. The magistrate instructed the physician to procure certified copies of his application to the Board and all other papers in the examination and present them to the court on April 4. Flossie Smellie, wife of William G. Smellie, an agent of the Victory Life Insurance Company, was present at Ramsey's hearing, as was also Ramsey's wife. Smellie, who led the raid, with the aid of Private Detective Herbert S. Boulin, instituted divorce proceedings against his wife, naming Dr. Ramsey as correspondent.

H.R. George Selling New Stock Issue
H.R. George Selling New Stock Issue
$225,000 Capitalization Granted by State for
H. R. George & Co., Inc., 2298 Seventh avenue, has recently been granted by the Secretary of State an authorized capital of $235,000 divided into 45,000 shares of Class A and B stock, effective February 18.
The name of former Municipal Judge John R. Davies has been added to the staff of attorneys for the H. R. George Company, which include John G. Dyer, former judge and a trainee of City College, and Harold S. Budher, associate attorney of the United States Shipping Board.
The Dunbar National Bank, 2824 Eighth avenue, and the Corporation Trust Company, 120 Broadway, have agreed to act as registrar and transfer agent, respectively, for the company, this being the first time in the history of the nation, it is said, that such institutions have so acted for a stock corporation offered and managed entirely by Negroes.
The certificates of stock purchased from the company will be forwarded direct to the members of the firm by the Corporation Trust Company.
The new stock issue is divided into 20,000 shares of Class A non-voting common stock at $5 per and 25,000 shares of Class B voting common stock at $5 per, with 44,150 shares to be outstanding. The new issue is on sale in units of two shares of Class A and one share of Class B at $15 a unit.
Hugh R. George, president and managing director of the company, was formerly sales manager of Renpy Holman & Co., the then underwriters of the Concilial Finance & Trust. Mr. George purchased in 1923 a half interest in the Federal Security Company, of which he was managing director. A year later he purchased outright the interest of his partner and changed the name of the concern to H. R. George & Co., which was incorporated in 1925.
The present object of the new capitalization is to open additional branch offices in other cities, to buy and sell listed and unlisted securities and to give stockholders a cash commission on securities purchased by the company. The annual stockholders' recommendation, not withstanding the annual dividend they will receive on the profits of the company.
Several Widows and Harlem Institutions Named Beneficiaries in Woman's Will
N. A. A. C. P., Y. W. C. A., Lincoln Hospital, St. Philip's Church and Hope Day Nursery Get Slices of Estate Set at "More Than $10,000"
Her mind laden with the bitter and sweet memories of seventeen years of widowhood and with a sympathy for elderly dependents whose source of income is closed, the late Mrs. Clara A. Young, 2267 Seventh avenue, made special provision in her will for widows and charitable and social service organizations, it was revealed last Wednesday when the document was filed in Surrogate Court.
With the aged woman's estate set at "over $10,000," eighteen organizations and individuals received bequests of $50 to $2,000, not including the residue of her real and personal property. Mrs. Young died in Harlem Hospital on Dec. 29, following a paralytic stroke suffered on the street the day before.
Said to have been married at the age of eighteen, in 1868, to Robert Foote, who died in Chicago in 1915. Mrs. Young left no known heirs. She divorced Foote and married William Young in 1896. The latter husband died in 1902. No children were born of either union.
Bequests listed in the will, which was written in 1818, were:

Public Meeting
"The Changing of Social Orders" will be discussed by Mrs. Esterh Friedman at a public meeting of the Men's Group of the New York Urban League, 204 West 138th street, Friday evening at 8:30 o'clock. The speaker, formerly of the I. W. W., is a member of the staff of the Rand School.
Albinett Stewart, 29, 315 Edge-combe avenue, has been appointed manager of the Harlem branch of the Irwin Company's new store at 2580 Seventh avenue, at 139th street, which is advertised to open Friday or Saturday for the sale of ladies' clothing and silk undergarments, furniture, jewelry, dry goods and men's clothing, on credit. The main office is at 52 East Broadway. Mr. Stewart became a salesman last summer while he was employed as a night porter at the Paramount Theatre, Forty-third street and Seventh avenue. Within a month he rented space in a store on Seventh avenue in partnership with one William Brown. He held on to his night work in the meanwhile.
Shortly after this he met Jack Irwin, head of the Irwin Company, who made Stewart's place of business the Harlem branch of his company. Subsequently, the Irwin Company decided to open its own store and place Stewart at the head of it. Mr. Stewart came here from Granada, B. W. I., eight years ago. He established the Bonnaz Emery School in West 136th street in 1921 and seventeen months later sold it to a former employer. The Irwin Company is offering a participating stock certificate in the amount of $25, purchasable by its employees and customers. A dividend of 6 per cent was paid in 1928, it is said.

HEALTH HEAD AGAINST RACIAL BARS
Harlem Hospital Charges Delayed 'Officially,' Commissioner Avers
Plaints Lodged With Mayor Not Transmitted to Head of City Institutions; Shroeder Pledges
Square Deal
The loud plaint of Harlem medical men and citizens expressed following the dismissal of Dr. Godfrey Nurse from his post as assistant visiting adjunct in surgery at Harlem Hospital has not "officially" reached the ears of the head of the city hospitals, Dr. William Shroeder, commissioner of hospitals, told The Amsterdam News in an interview last Tuesday.
Charges of color prejudice and discrimination in favor of white doctors flung at Dr. John F. Conners, chief of the medical service, have gone to Mayor Walker, but have not been forwarded to the hospital head, the Commissioner said, Dr. Shroeder stated, however, that he has learned of discontent with the officials of Harlem Hospital through unofficial channels.
An investigation of the case of Dr. Nurse and of the hospital was asked by the North Harlem Medical Association. The plaints laid before Mayor Walker charged that Negro physicians and surgeons are held to the lowest posts on the staff, while white men are advanced without serving apprenticeships.
Social Club Carries Fight Before Courts
Dance fans who "tripped the light fantastic" Friday night up at the Bamboo Inn, Seventh avenue near 139th street, or down at the New Star Casino, 107th street and Lexington avenue, possibly didn't know that a ruling of the Supreme Court allowed the two affairs to be held under the name of the Osbyn Club, Inc., 178 West 135th street.
A warring faction, headed by Fletcher McDougal, 123 West 128th street, opposed Harry Henley, presi-
"I shall tolerate no discrimination toward any hospital worker of any race." Commissioner Shroeder said. "We are not concerned with whether a man is colored or white, but with giving city patients as high type of service as is offered in any other hospital." The Commissioner pledged himself to investigate any charge of injustice in the hospital system. "Harlem can be assured," he said, "of getting the best hospital supplies and service that the city can pay for."
No immediate radical changes are contemplated for Harlem Hospital, Dr. Shroeder stated. He is continuing his study of the city institutions and will not order any changes in personnel or operation until investigation warrants them.
Education Urged as Cure for Negro's Ills
That education is the solution for the problems arising from misunderstanding of social service by the Negro laity and for the inferiority complex evidenced by those who know nothing of their history was the declaration of four speakers Sunday before the Young People's Lyceum of Bethel A. M. E. Church, 25 West 132d street. Duse Mohammed All, Egyptian historian and writer; Miss Ethel Caution, director of the Club Caroline, a home for working girls; Mrs. Myrtle B. Anderson Howard, attorney and founder of the Welfare Center of the Myrtle B. Anderson League, and James H. Hubert, executive secretary of the New York Urban League, were the speakers.
Musical numbers were offered by the Monumental Quartette of Jersey City, Arnold Alleyne and Mesdames Lucile Jones, Condis Day, L. J. Sullivan and Em Met Booker. Others participating on the program were: Michele Jones, Jessie Jecum; William Jones, Mrs. K. L. Sprailey, Mrs. Lottie B. Wade and the Rev. A. C. Saunders, pastor of Bethel.

Social Club Carries Fight Before Courts
Dance fans who "tripped the light fantastic" Friday night up at the Bambo Inn, Seventh avenue near 139th street, or down at the New Star Casino, 107th street and Lexington avenue, possibly didn't know that a ruling of the Supreme Court allowed the two affairs to be held under the name of the Osbiny Club, Inc., 178 West 135th street.
A warring faction, headed by Fletcher McDougail, 123 West 128th street, opposed Harry Henley, president, and began promotion of a separate dance a few weeks ago, retaining the name of Osbiny. McDougail claims fourteen of the club's reported twenty members.
The original group sought an order restraining the insurgents from having a dance on Friday night and a permanent one preventing use of the club name by the rebels. The two wings aired their grievances last Wednesday in Supreme Court before Justice Townley. The left wing defended itself by charging one-man rule. The restraining order was denied on grounds that the action was instituted too late.
Urge Monument in Honor of John Brown
An address of historical interest and value concerning "The Significance of Monuments" and John Brown's struggle for the freedom of the slaves was delivered by Dr. J.

The association has for its objects "the promotion of an annual pilgrimage from all points and by all interested people to the grave of John Brown, hero-martyr and abolitionist, at North Y. E., the establishment of a John Brown cult, and the erection of a suitable monument, to cost not less than $25,000, at the grave of John Brown." May 7 is the date set for the start of the pilgrimage to Lake Placid this year. Junius M. Green, 168 West 135th street, is chairman of the pilgrimage committee.
A meeting has been called for Wednesday evening, March 6, at the 369th Infantry Armory, at 9 p. m., in the interests of World War veterans.

Bilious Spells
DIZZINESS RELIEVED
"I suffered with severe bilious attacks that came on two or three times each month," says Mr. J. P. Novins, of Lawrenceburg, Ky.
"I would have dizziness and couldn't work. A neighbor told me of Theodford's Black-Draught and I began its use. I never have found so much relief as it gave me. I would not be without it for anything.
"It seemed to cleanse my whole system and made me feel like new. I would take a few doses—get rid of the bile and have my usual clear head, feel full of 'pep' and could do twice the work."

Looking
Your Best
By FANNETTE:
Cleansing Your Face
One of the most important factors
to be observed in having a good
complexion is to cleanse your face
thoroughly before retiring, This
‘frees the pores of the dirt particles,
rouge and powder that are sure to
accummulate during the day.
Rub @ good cold crenm into the
face and allow it to remain a few
minutes. ‘Then remove it with a
tissue paper handkerchief. ‘These
save your face towels from the
grease and grime which are so hard
to remove.
‘Then wash your face in warm
water and a mild soap; rinse it in
cold water, as this tends to decrease
the size of the pores.
Don't irritate the skin in removing
tho make-up. ‘The important thing,
however, is to make sure that {t is
entirely removed. Make-up does the
skin no good when it remains on
over night.

Renaissance Five Downs American League Stars in Game Last Sunday
Renaissance Five Downs American League Stars in Game Last Sunday
Also Won From Newark Triangles on Friday—Douglas Enjoyed Sunday Game From Box—Hakoahs, With Nat Holman, Here Sunday
(By FRANCIS)
Last Sunday night at the Renaissance Casino a capacity crowd saw the Ft. Wayne team of the American League go down to a crushing defeat at the hands of the Renaissance Five by the score of 58 to 29.
Appearing for the first time at the Harlem court, and with two victories over the crack colored balltossers, the Ft. Wayne team appeared calm and confident during their warm-up period; but the champions, with their convalescent manager, Bob Douglas, looking on from a box seat, radiated determination as they too went through their paces.
Deafening cheers greeted both teams as they lined up for Referee Chris. Huiswoud's whistle, and were introduced by Announcer Detrich. The starters for the Rens were Saitch and Ricks, forwards; Sanders, center; Jenkins and Mayers, guards; for the Ft. Wayne team, Borgeman and Rusty Saunders, forwards; Chadwick, center, and Sy Miller and Glasco, guards.
Miller scored the first point of the game when he made good a free try from the foul line, but this was instantly matched by Ricks, who made good his foul effort.
Both teams seemed to be feeling out each other; the Rens, however, appeared satisfied with the situation, after a minute or so, and immediately launched the well-known Renaissance offensive with Jenkins and Ricks alternating in scintillating shots whenever opportunity presented itself.
Meanwhile an impregnable Renaissance defense was offering inmountable difficulties to the Hoosiers, who were making Herculean efforts to get past this barrier to get a safe shot at their basket for needed points, but so perfect were the Rens in defense, that during the first ten minutes of play the visitors could only make six points via the foul line, making good on every line.
Y. M. D. JUNIORS DEFEAT TROJANS
On Saturday night, February 23, the Trojan Athletic Club journeyed to Carlton to play the second game of a series of three. The first game with Trojans ended in a 17-17 deadlock. This game was played on December 29. The Trojan team, a sneedy aggression of basketball
Saitch, through injury, was replaced by Capt. Siecum, with no slow down of the devastating shelling by the Renaissance sharpshooters. After an exceedingly fast and sizzling twenty minutes the first half ended with the score 32 to 18 in favor of the Renaissance. After the usual rest period they returned to the court and the Rens continued where they left off, with Jenkins skinned running and Rens in the first frame. It was not long before the only question in doubt was the size of the score, a fact that the Ft. Wayne team seemed to realize, after which they apparently gave up all further efforts to win as futile. Jenkins was the high score man of the game, with 10 floor goals and three fouls for 23 points. Pappy Ricks was close behind with 8 floor goals and two fouls for 4 and two for ten points, led the visitors. Every man on the Renaissance contributed his full share to the victory.
On Washington's Birthday night the Newark Triangles, who substituted for the Fatserson team of the American League, who had to play a league game, were slaughtered by the Rens by a score of 63 to 23. Jenkins was again top score man in the game. Fatserson played this game, and turned in a neat piece of work that reminded us of Jack Murray, one of the best arbiters in the game.
For next Sunday night, Nat Holman and his HakaoH team will lock horns with the Rens in the fourth game of their series. The Rens won the first, but dropped the next two games, and Philadelphia won. The Rens are out to cop this game and even up the series, and the HakaoHs can be relied upon to try to stop the colored champs in their effort. A great game should be the result.
The HakaoHs have recently whipped the Vistation Triangles and are apparently playing at the top of their form, with the HakaoHs showing on Friday and Sunday night, hitting on all five ends.
In the preliminary games on Friday night the Red Wings defeated the Langston team 32 to 30 and on Sunday night the Scholastics handed out a surprise whipping to the Metro-Diamonds, 32 to 20.

DEFEAT TROJANS
On Saturday night, February 23, the Trojan Athletic Club journeyed to Carlton to play the second game of a series of three. The first game with Trojans ended in a 17-17 deadlock. This game was played on December 29. The Trojan team, a speedy aggregation of basketball players, demonstrated the same type of game that ended in a tie. The Trojan team was able to begin, neither team being able to boost as much as a two-point lead. When the final whistle blew the score stood 18-13, then necessitating a five-minute overtime period, many wrills were played during these five minutes. First one team and then the other had possession of the ball, but were unable to break through and score. One team shot by Hinds during the last two minutes of play decided the game.
The final score: Cariton, 19; Trolans, 18.
The Trojans will be booked for an

Defender Girls in 11-11 Tie
On Feb. 8, Friday evening, at St. Marks Church gym, a neck to neck game was played between the Celestials and a Defender. The Celestials took its turn to start the game and held a 60 'end before forward Sara Pollard scored the Defenders' five points, which made an even score, 5-5. The Defenders scored another field score, while a foul shot was made by Defenders' center, Pauline Moore, ending first half score, 7-6, favoring Celestials. The defenders opened with strong offense, staging a spirited rally in the closing moments of play, which put the Defenders in the lead, 11-10. A foul netting netted a tie score, 11-11. Numerous players on both sides throughout the game. This game was close from start to finish: thrilling, speedy and interesting. The game ended abruptly with minute laps through the error of the referee.

Loew's Victoria Theatre Raises Jim-Crow Even Against Crippled Boy
Civil Rights Act Scrap of Paper so Far as This Theatre Is Concerned Amsterdam News Reporter Verifies Attempt to Segregate Negro Patrons
The method by which the management of Loew's Victoria Theatre, 223 West 125th street, evades the Civil Rights Act by segregating all Negro patrons in the balcony was thoroughly tested Thursday afternoon, Feb. 17, by a reporter of The Amsterdam News, following the complaint of Mrs. I. Chambers, 234 West 120th street, that she and her crippled son Duncan, 10, had been denied admission to the orchestra section early last Wednesday afternoon.

last Wednesday afternoon.
The afternoon prices are 25 cents for either balcony or orchestra seats and 35 cents for boxes; the evening prices, 50 cents for balcony and orchestra seats and 65 cents for boxes. When the orchestra is overcrowded persons of both races are sent to the balcony. When orchestra seats are plentiful, white patrons may sit where they please, while colored patrons are told by the cashier that only balcony seats are available. If a colored patron attempts to pass the female usher at the door in an effort to get to orchestra seats, he or she is usually restrained by force and the usher insists that they sit in the balcony. Well, you might see the manager, and he tells you the same thing, and is always disinclined to discuss the matter, except to say that there are no orchestra seats left.
After Mrs. Chambers bought her matinee tickets—the seats are not reserved—she was told they were only good for the balcony. She explained that, on account of her son being crippled, it would be a hard life for him to be in the balcony, and she demanded orchestra seats, whereas her tickets were, in fact, good for orchestra seats, just the same.
"I'm willing to be made to look cheap," she told the manager, "if you will just allow me to look in to see what the orchestra are like, because I believe you are like." She told him very frankly what she thought of the rottenness of segregating Negroes in "cheap houses," whereas they are allowed to sit anywhere in nearly every high-class theatre in the city.
Identically, Mrs. Chambers is chief of Fox's Crotona Theatre, 177th street and Park avenue, where she has seven girls under her management.

management of Loew's Victoria it, evades the Civil Rights Acts in the balcony was thorny, Feb. 17, by a reporter of The complaint of Mrs. I. Chambers, he and crippled son Duncan, to the orchestra section early.
F YOU should ask any old-time ball player what he thinks of this modern game of baseball and the way it's conducted, you would very likely receive, as an answer, a long or short discourse on how things used to be in his day, etc. They will tell you about days when players so loved the game that a broken finger, a lame leg or a spiked foot were minor injuries of everyday occurrences. A player would have to be using a crutch before he could be kept out of a game in those days, the old-timer will say with pride. He will filing the word "Romance" at you (I believe he gets that word from the writings of Billy Evans, ex-umpire), and tell you how lively, sentimental and romantic the sport used to be in his day. The teacher then tells you of his contact with the greats and near greats of the past.
Most of the old-timers think that "contact" has had considerable to do with the status of colored baseball today. They will point to the fact that in the old days colored teams were playing big league teams in midseason. The Cuban X Giants, under E. B. Lamar's management, played a two-game engagement with the league team on their home grounds at Cincinnati, Ohio. The Cuban Giants played St. Louis National League team a Sunday game during the league's playing season, and many other incidents of close contact with the real powers of baseball could be noted here, but old-timers give 'em to you so fast you are due to miss some of them. But what strikes me quite forcibly is this "contact" phase of baseball. After a few days of playing, the team's attitude of big league managers and players toward the colored boys led quite a few of us to vision colored teams playing on all the big league grounds in the country. Our opinion is, it might have been, and let us hope, it might be.
We have in mind two of the greatest managers ever in the game; men of high standing and influential in all matters appertaining to the game. Both of these men have shown on more than one occasion that they were inclined toward helping colored players. We will cite several instances where Connie Mack and John McGraw contributed largely towards helping our cause in their own profession.
During the season of 1900 Connie Mack was at the head of the Milwaukee, Western League team. In the spring and fall he barnstormed with the Columbia Giants of Chicago. The Chicago team was managed by John McGraw and the Columbia, a colored player on his team; what's more, Connie knew it. When the American League placed a team in Philadelphia with Mack at the head, the Athletic grounds, when not being used by the home team, were always available to colored teams. Later, when the Athletics were not playing a world's series they would be playing the Philadelphia Giants a series of games. Things like that were of wonderful help to colored players.
John McGraw, thorough baseball man when it comes to playing the game, looked no further than a man's ability. He braved public opinion in palming a colored ball player off for an Indian. "Pop" Watkins received many letters of encouragement from Mr. McGraw. "Pop" was the man who brought Cockrell. Allen and other good boys from the South. Mr. McGraw sent the New York Giants over to Paterson to play Dick Coogan's team. He was the first to paterson that "This team is a gang of Negroes," McGraw said. "I know it, or I play 'em. But it seems like these men have got away from us now and the only thing to do is to make the best of it.
Walter Schilchter, the McMahon Bros., and J. W. Connor, if he could have been handled, are the men whose methods of handling sporting events would have boosted colored baseball to its proper place in sportsdom. Schilchter and the McMahons knew the value of publicity and knew how to get it. J. W. Connor was right with them in that respect. They are not in the game now and I know the reason.
If the Negro American League secures the stadium at Philadelphia for their league games it will be a wonderful stride toward the goal this humble old-timer has in view for our baseball. Pittsburgh muffet a great chance to advance the game when they failed to support a proposition that involved the erection of a playing field for all sports and civic demonstrations with a stand seating fifteen or twenty thousand people.
cony because the orchestra was crowded. He would not commit himself upon any racial policy. "All right, we'll wait until we can get orchestra seats, because we're not going to sit upstairs," the manager was told. He offered to refund the price of the tickets, but his offer was refused. One of the white feathers on the orchestra floor declared that they would segregation when orchestra seats were available. "But you'll have to wait until 5:30 (two hours)," she said.
"We'll wait," said the reporter, and the manager approached the three young men and said: "Boys, why raise a disturbance; listen to reason."
"We're not raising a disturbance," was the reply. "We're quietly waiting for orchestra seats." He walked away.
When the crowd left the orchestra door at the end of the afternoon show the three young men walked in and occupied orchestra seats undisturbed. The entire floor was less than one-third occupied.
The reporter left his seat in the orchestra and approached the cashier again, asking for an orchestra seat at the evening price of 50 cents. "Balcony seats only," said the white girl. She was thoroughly vexed when the reporter reminded her that she had just left the orchestra practically empty. She then said she had been ordered to sell balcony seats only. The reporter walked away.
A white couple came to the window and asked for orchestra seats. The cashier peeped out to see if the reporter was still there. He was. She then induced the white patrons to accept "balcony seats" at 50 cents each. The reporter rushed up to the window.
"What do you want?" "A balcony seat!" said the reporter.
Bolling over with resentment but saying nothing, the cashier first reached for a brown ticket, then quickly changed her mind and sold the reporter a ticket similar to the

Collegians Play at Carlton
On Saturday, March 2, the far-famed Collegiate basketball team will journey to Carlton for a game with the Young Men's Division. The Collegiate basketball team, one of the best amateur teams in the Metropolitan district and has a very strong following. The Carlton Young Men's Division team, which has made quite a record in the past two years, has also made a strong attempt to uphold the hopes of the Brooklyn basketball following their attack upon the Collegians on March 2. The game is predicted to be one of the most interesting and exciting games of the season. This game, originally scheduled for March 9, was changed in order that the Collegians might fulfill an engagement with Morgan College. The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity game, which will be played on March 9, Alpha is one of the outstanding fraternity teams of New York and will push the Carlton tossers to the limit. The basketball following of Brooklyn guaranteed much of the success of basketball on these two dates. March 2 and March 9.

Sunday School League
On Tuesday night, February 19, St. Philip's Sunday School team defeated Fleet Street, thus maintaining their average of 1,000 per cent in the Carlton Sunday School League for boys. St. Philip's demonstrated as a brand of floor work and good shooting. St. Barnabas, having lost to St. Philip's in their first game of the league, came back strong and defeated St. Peter Claver to the time of 12-10. St. Peter Claver demonstrated by far the best floor play of the season for the basket. The work of Hunter for St. Barnabas played the biggest part in their victory.

: Morgan Takes Howard University Into Camp
“Negroes to Clown at Big Fight
WE SHOULD not wonder that the clown spot at the big fight\between
oung Stribling and Jack Sharkey tonight has been reserved Jor the
{good old down-trodden race. In so many instances even learned editors
Ihave wasted a lot of space trying to make the yokels believe themselves|
heroes and the buffoons selected to cavort in the ring for the fun of the|
‘white folks are simply running true to a form almost given them by the
jsame misguided editors running wild with a lttle mechanical learning.
‘These gentlemen have made heroes out of water carriers. and boot~
blacks, so it will be right in thelr linc to rave aver the fact that about ten
gentlemen of color will stage a battle royal as a preliminary to the push
and pull of the palms wherein two mediocre white fighters will try to ap-
pear as present-day gladiators. -
In civilized communtttes the battle royal has been a thing of the past
for ages, being that it was in the nature of that rare sport of the gods
which held good at Coney Island some years ago, when some misguided
gon of Ham would offer his head as a target to hurl baseballs at, not only
for the children of the parvenu white American, but the descendants of
‘the scum of Europe readily following s form of amusement which appealed
to them because of the serfdom from whence they came to enjoy the op-
portunities to which black mon had contributed, but of which they are
belng constantly denied, by the sweat of thelr brow which watered the
and’ sa the Southern States and rade tt fertit. “7
Jack Dempsey, who religiously refrained from giving Harry Wills s
chance at the world’s title, and who in the early days of his career in the
roped arena appeared rgiht here in Harlem and hed some of his ribs caved
in by another fighter of color by the name of John Lester Johnson, is the
moving spirit in the affalr which wilt bring together ten colored men from
the bottoms to aimlessly belt each other for a few dollars, The spectacle
which these misguided children and grandchildren of Uncle Tom will cut
will not be a pretty one, and the remarks that will be hurled at them
Would perhaps serve a splendid purpose if, by any chance, they should
reach the ears of those damphools who helped to swell the crowd at Man-
hattan Casino the night Dempsey appeared to help pull a crowd for two
well-known comedians celebrating something or other.
Tt is such bucks like those who will furnish the Roman holidays for the
crowd that help to keep the dignified masters of the art of pugilism of
the race from enjoying thelr rightful place in the arena. However, as we
intimated in our opening paragraph, we must ask the good Lord to forgive
them, for those who have enjoyed many years of a wider freedom in places
removed from the benighted South hnve shown no superior qualities when
ft comes to clowning and Ucking the boot that gives the kick.
WHAT IS TRUE SPORTSMANSHIP?
[MANY years ago we had occasion to be invelgled into visiting the office
of a Philadelphia paper and, after greetings back and forth, we decided
to amble forth on our way. As we were about to Ieave, the thought came
to us that we would Uke ¢o see a copy of the publication coming off the
press at the time, and expressed such a desire, “The lady behind the wire
bage handed us a copy, but Immediately reminded us that the paper cost
ten cents, .
Tt has been af unwritten law among the gentry thet, as a matter of
courtesy, especially on a good-will visit, that a copy of a paper given to a
brother newspaperman is but an added gesture of friendship. Which
arives us to wonder how @ paper can preach good sportsmanship and not
live it. The other day we had occasion to visit Philadelphia again and, in
the interest of a big beneflt being staged this very night, made a request
that a little recognition be given the affair by the same ‘paper. Did they
ccede to our request, even for the sake of charity? Head’ on, fends
read on.
‘The sport and theatrical writers of the Pittsburgh Courler, the Balti
more Afro-American, the Chicago Defender, the New York ge, all showed
the spire of good and true sportmanship by not only giving epace to the|
benefit in mind, but went out of their way to display the matter. ‘The
Pittsburgh Courter, the editoriat department of which has been openly
‘against the people for whom the benefit ia being staged, forgot all griev-
ances and proved that, when glven the opportunity, there are men who be-
iteve in the principles of true sportsmanship by giving special attention
to the matter.
‘The Philadelphia Tribune, the paper we have reference to in anything
caustic that can be found in these lines, came out with about two or three
inches of the affair AFTER AN ADVERTISEMENT HAD BEEN PLACED
IN ITS COLUMNS WITHOUT THE SANCTION OF THOSE RUNNING
THE BENEFIT. Some weeks ago, while in Philadelphia, one of the gen-
tlemen connected with the ‘Tribune promised to let us have a cut of the
wife of the popular sport writer, W. Rollo Wilson, but, even when the re-
‘quest went in through Mir. Wilson at our urgent request, the plate was not
forthcoming.
‘The spirit of true sportsmanship which exists in the fraternity of news-
pspermen writing sports and theatricals 1s sadly lacking “higher up” in the |
Tribune and, in taking up this space to say 80, we are almply adhering to
fa principle of openly saying what we have to say and not wasting time
Geploring such things behind closed doors. Is it any wonder, theo, that
we read with a smile of sarcasm the futiie-attempt of newspaper publish-
rs and editors to came together for the common good?
"We have before us the copy of the New York News of last week, in
which the editor, while making da empty gesture, which smacks of an
Attempt to prove to the unthinking that he is willing and anxious to co-
opernte with others towards such an end, at the same time takes occasion
£0 point out the faults (if faults they be) of another editor, and naively.
‘concludes that he could not, in the interest even of his publle, demand
fan accounting at the hands of an institution trying to cater to the public.
| ‘We also have before us a copy of the New York Age, which makes a
plea for bonafde’editors and publishers to get together for the common
good, and at our right rests a copy of The Amsterdam-News, which tells
the New York Age that it must conform to certain things before The Am~
sterdam News can condescend to como torether with it or with anybody.
Great Britain, in taking credit for the winning of the late World's War,
ike every other nation ‘on the side of the Allies has done, told the world
that ‘the wor was won becauize of the true sportsmanship as exemplified
fon her cricket flelds.
‘With a dumbness which we hope will be recelved with @ display of
tolerance at the hands of our reader we would have accepted the plea of
the New York Age in good fnith and put {t to the only test which we be-
eve such a thing should be put, and that was to get as many of the gen-
try the Age had designated to CALL UPON BROTHER MOORE. ‘There,
in the canctum of his office and with a show of’friondiiness all around,
‘we beilove could have been planted the seed of UNDERSTANDING—the
only thing which will bring men together to accomplish anything for the
common good.
comiqmerica could have told France when the country of the trl-color
made her plea for help, that certain faults had to. be” corrected before
‘America could Join her in the war, and so could every nation which went
tothe Morne and-Flanders Fields, but they all recognized that they ‘had
to come together for THE COMMON GOOD, and ther leaders’ gathered
around tables FOR AN UNDERSTANDING. Shuckst If we want to know
where we would have Been without that UNDERSTANDING, let us read
Bnd digest what the late President Roosevelt had to say about {t.
So, gentlemen, the Philadelphia ‘Tribune lacks the understanding which
should’ make it respond to"the teachings of true sportamanship, therefore,
hat can one expect when learned editors are totally devold of the urge
for that true understanding which will make it possible for them to get
together. ‘it is the opinion of this writer that the other editors would have
given a real dispisy of TRUE SPORTSMANSHIP BY CALLING ON EDI-
TOR MOORE, INSTEAD OF STANDING OFF AND SNIPING IN TRE
coon ‘OLD WAY. :
The gentlemen of the Eastern Sport Writers’ Association have set an
example to editors and publishers which could be followed to good effect.
{We could cite examples of that spirit of true-sportsmanship on the part of
W. Rollo Wiison, Joe Rainey, Samuel Lacy, William Olarke and others of
the essoclation of which we have the honor-of belng, president that would
make the learned heads in high places open thelr eyes wide in wonder.
‘Truly, we of the sporting and theatrical world would be glad to be the ones
following instead of being forced to lead, Let the Philadelphia Tribune step
down from the snobbish stand it has assumed and let the local editors
and publishers assembled around the banquet table of good-fellawship, as
Wwe of the Eastern Sport. Writers’ Association have done, accept the motto:
ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL, Selah! whatever that means.

It’s just nobody's nonsense the way our vivacious Viola
vocalizes that sizzlin’ song! Man Oh Man!... the way
she makes her wants known would raise an army of
~ volunteers! It’s a hot and humid number—teeming with
temperature. But wait till you hear the other side of the
story. It's “If You Really Love Your Baby”. Well—
if you don't, you will, when you listen to that tantalizin”
tune! And play it today—at your Columbia dealer’s !

Mason-Lindeay :
Piano Recital
‘Misses Lydia Mason and Andrades
Lindsay, gifted young pianists, were
presented In recital at the Imperial
Elks' Auditorlum on Sunday after-
noon under the auspices of the New
York branch of the National Asso-
clation of Negro Musicians.
‘The players have been heard here
in recital work for the past few
sears. Both Miss Mason and Miss
Lindsay have made excellent prog-
ress in the art, now having & good
command of the keyboard and ped-
als, with due mention of their artis-
itic’ maturity and profundity of con-
weeption. i
‘The two artists began their pro-
cam with ® scholarly reading of
“Bach's, Sicttenne,” followed by the
“Seherzo” by Haydn and concluding
the {lt group with the technically
brillant “Allegro con Spirito” from
a Mozart Sonata, With Miss Mason
at first plano, they achieved a high
degree of brilliance without any un-
due mark of hardness in tone pro-
duction. We feel Miss Mason merited
special praise os to .her colorful
treatment of the “Allegro con Spir~
fio," by her musiclanly phrasing and
firm sense of assurance.
We are now concerned with the
real measures of Miss Lindsay's abil-
ity. She was at her best in the solo
parts of second group—that of the
French romantic school. Here Miss
Lindsay also achieved a high degree
of brilllancy, although in the viva-
lous “Pas Des Cymbales,” by Cha-
minade, we feared a slight distur-
bance of phrase balance and an un-
conscious increase In speed until her
Esteners were afraid of @ lack .af
“arity, But with all, Miss Lindsay
was master of the situation and kept
her audience dazzled by reason of its
outstanding bravado.
In the third group of modern De-
dussy numbers both artists had a
conception of the moods and de-
seriptive intent of the compositions,
vividly suezestive. ‘They gave a sub-
tle and delicate handling, of the
Arabesque. Doctor Gradusad Paran-
sskum, also Debussy's well-known
Goiliwogg’s Cake Walk. The pro-
gram was concluded with a group of
Yerled composers — Rachmaninoff.
Chopin, Schubert, Liszt and Det.
Several’ encores werg played. The
Scherzino by an unfamiliar modern
French composer was especially im-
pressive,
Particularly noticeable throughout
the entire program was the undue
‘mount of care used to maintain
equal balance of tone and rhythmic
exactness. A alight retard in the sc-
tual tempo of Rachmaninoff's G
Minor Prelude and Dett’s Juba
Dance was effected, no doubt, to
avoid a lack .of control which fre-
quently leads to phrase disturbance.
‘The recital on a whole revealed ©
growth of mustcal vision on the part
of both artists, as well as thelr sup-
porters, comprised of a large number
of music lovers. It. is gratifying to
diligent students laboring to attain a
round on the ladder-of success.
“Stthe association is to be commend-
ed for its admirable work and should
/be encouraged to assist, and cultivate
musical gifts among talented deserv-
'ing Negro youths by the fostering of
such recital activities. ‘This intention
wos expressed by their competent
president, Miss Minnie Brown,
Artiste Give
Landay Hall! Recital
A program of two-plano music Ww
given by Carrie Burton Overton and
Beryl Paul Outerbridge at Landay
Hall on Monday evening.
‘Mesdames Overton and Outer-
bridge played to an audience obvi-
ously assembled for the purpose, o!
adulation, ‘The artists, assuming the
intimacy was kindly meant, lent thel
full efforts toward making it an eve-
ning well worth ‘remembering.
“Each pianist rendered a group of
solos aside from thelr other en-
Geavors, They were supported b3
Leon Johnson. tenor, in @ group ol
songs. Mr. Johnson was provided
with the excellent accompaniment o
Lydia Mason.
‘Oddly enough, st was an evening
that afforded a great measure of {n-
terest as well as musical entertain-
ment and humor.

ton Scott, who was believed by many

An exchange of pastors for thi
purpdse of bringing closer relation

Sunday night, February 17, while
the Rev. HH. Proctor, pastor of th

‘Dr. Melish deplored the erectior
of barriers, ageingt the colored, mat
and combated the charges that the
‘Negro is inferior to the, white, rac
‘either mentally or morally. He de
clared that the answer to the rac
problem was to be found in the work
of, Christ,
“All that any race asks," sald Dr
Melish, “is if the individual show:
‘worth, ‘that, he be treated as a mar
according, to hig worth. | ‘That wa
‘the standard of our Master. We
should look beneath the surface o

‘Deplores Taxity in Courts,
Dr, Melish denied the Negro is sus-
ceptible to m life of crime and scored
conditions that he sald exist in some
parts of this country where a Negro
could not obtain Justice in the
courts. He predicted that this would

sat 38 our generaliztion.* contin:
ued Dr, Mellah, “based on ignorance
and intolerance that, breeds racial
hatreds, What untold wrongs this
condition has brought on your race.
‘The answer to the race problem is in
the work of Christ, who loved all men
be they white or colored. ‘The pro-
‘erastination of Christians in practis-
ing thelr beliefs is a thing to be 1a-
mented.”
‘Within s stone's throw of the spot
here sixty years ago Henry Ward
‘Beecher startled the country by buy-
ing the freedom of a Negro slave. Dr.
H. H. Proctor, a colored clergyman,
Sunday night preached in Holy ‘Trin-
ity Church, at Montague and Clinton
streets.
‘The colored minister called Lin
goin “the greatest ruler in history.
Whereas Washington had faith in
the white man.” Dr. Proctor said,
“Lincoln had faith not only in his
‘own race, but in the black man as
well, ‘The country lawyer became
the lawyer of a race." he said.
“Negroes in the United States are
paying taxes, on $2,000,000,000 worth
ot, property. the | preacher, sald.
“They have taken thelr places,” he
declared, “among the leaders in
every fleid of endeavor.” As examples
he sited whe colored artist, Tanner,
who vas the frst Amerieat, to. hang
a pleture in the Louvre In Paris, a
Di Bols, author of "The Souls of
Colored Folk.”
Calling attention to a survey made
recently which showed that there Is
a golored church, in, the center of
qvery large city. ie countrs, Dr,
Proctor declared that "no one knows
‘ut that God means to save America
by putting in the center ofits cities
churches supported by, those , people
‘who are incorrigibly religious.” The
minister sald that “if America fails,
it wil be because of the corruption
‘of its cities.”

in Green Pond, S. C., July 10, 1910.
He came to New York City in 1917 and began his music studies with the Joseph and Mary Scotes Music School.

Run-Down
MISS Estelle Elizabeth Pate, 1912 Western Ave. Knoxville, Tenn., writes: "Last year, while in college, I was studying unusually hard. I found that I was getting thin, and that my health was not very good. I felt tired and worn-out. Instead of my studies being a pleasure, they were a task. It was so trying not to be able to enjoy anything.
"As I knew Cardui was a good tonic, I decided to take it. After taking Cardui, I felt so much better and stronger. I was able to join in all the school activities, and really enjoy them. I took three bottles in all, and gladly recommend it to other girls." For sale by all druggists. CARDUI Helps Women to Health EC-93

He departed this life on Thursday, Jan. 31, 1929. He passed away in Harlem Hospital. But some time, somewhere, when harps shall be given to God's children, we shall see Harry again and hear him as he penns in on the sweet refrain, "All Hall the Power of Jesus' Name, Let Angels Prostrate Fall, Bring Forth the Royal Diadem and Crown Him Lord of All."
Harrison leaves to mourn his loss a loving mother, devoted father, an affectionate brother, other relatives, and friend. The interment was held in Cedarhurst Cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Goldstein take this method of thanking the St. Luke Lafayette missionaries for the funeral of their much loved son, Harrison, and also thank the many friends for their floral designs and for their kindness during his illness.

A Wonderful Opportunity
Participate in the Profits of a Rapidly Growing Drug Chain
that operates several Stores in your own neighborhood
THE DE MOTT DRUG CORPORATION Has been in business since 1921. The corner Drug Stores pictured above are some of the DeMott Stores
The reason for offering a limited amount of common stock to the public at $15 per share is for further expansion purposes—and for acquiring a number of established stores which the company now has under option.
The corporation is in a very healthy financial condition, showing total fixed assets over total fixed liabilities of approximately 12 to 1.
The outstanding advantages in Chain Drug Store systems—stability, quantity buying power, elimination of duplicated overhead, mass production and distribution—are matters of common knowledge. The success of such Chains as the Liggett Stores, Walgreen Stores and the American Drug Co. should be duplicated by the DeMott Drug Corporation.
Without obligating myself, please send me further particulars concerning the DeMott Drug Corporation.

President Coolidge has studiously
and calculatingly avoided the race
question as a political entity. The
Impulses of his Puritan heart beat
true to the principle of right and
wrong. He believes with a deep
sented convietion in the fundamen
tal purpose of the Fifteenth Amend-
ment, but his shrewd Yankee
sagacity cautioned silence where
assertion would yield no fruition,
He neither affirms nor denies, but
leaves us to infer what his basic
principles are.
Mr. Coolidge has been president
for five years and six months. Dur-
ing that time he has not made a

Changing the Baumes Laws
A BILL has been introduced in the Legislature to lessen
the severity of the Baumes Laws. These laws provide that
upon the fourth conviction of a person for crime he or she
shall be sentenced to prison for life. Assemblyman Ambro's
bill would leave it to judges to decide whether such a per-
ton should be sentenced for life or receive a sentence not
less than twice as long as the longest permissible term for
the firet crime of which he was convicted. The Bar Associa-
tion of New York City has voted approval of the Ambro bill.
JUDGE ROSALSKY of the Court of General Sessions
dissents vigorously. He wants the Baumes Laws retained
fn all their rigidity; he thinks that any relaxing of their
provisions would only encourage the criminal elements. He
‘says that too much has been said. about the so-called hard-
ships inflicted by these laws upon the offender and too
Tittle has been said about the hardships which the criminals
inflict upon society. -He believes that the occasional injus-
‘tices of the laws can be guarded against or remedied by
the power of executive clemency vested in the Governor. !
THAT THE BAUMES LAW may work occasional and
even frequent injustice is well known. Under their strict
interpretation a man may receive three sentences of sixty
days for comparatively trivial offenses and on conviction
for a fourth offense of the same kind be sentenced to jail
for life. Thus, if you punch a man’s nose for the fourth
time you will never breathe the fresh air again.
YET, THERE IS considerable point in Judge Rosalsky’s
argument. In these days, when society seems almost help-
less before crooks and gangeters, when the criminal popula-
tion is daily growing bolder and more numerous, when in-
dividual murders are supplanted by massacres, society should
think twice before softening its laws. The Ambro bill, more-
over, has a weak spot which attorneys for criminals will
take instant advantage of. That weak spot is the proposal
to leave the operation of the Baumes laws to the discretion
of judges. The theory of American jurisprudence is that
this nation shall have a government of laws and not of men.
Judges are only men. With all their power, they are only
instruments of the Jaw, and the Ambro bill would make
them the law itself. Years ago Justice Harlan of the United
States Supreme Court inveighed against the tendency of
that court to legislate, and the Ambro bill would encourage
ie tendency, The law of the land should be above the
iudges,
THIS IS NOT SAYING that the Baumes Laws should
stand as they are. They should be changed, but in a manner
different from that suggested by the Ambro bill. They
should be so altered that they would apply only to offenses
of a serious nature, such as murder, burglary, swindling,
arson, forgery and dope-selling. Even these would not have
to be repeated three times; one commission of such crime
could be made sufficient for life imprisonment even if the
three other crimes were trivial. Such a law would unite
severity with justice.
FO some weeks there has
has been going on in the
Baltimore’ Afro-American a
discussion as ‘to whether
amalgamation and __ so-called
intermarriage will “solve the
race problem.”
Prof. Kelly Miller, who began the
discussion, declares that it will not;
the Afro-American says that ft will;
while a symposium of readers seems
equally divided on the matter.
‘To my thinking, a discussion
worded in thls manner, though {1-
Tuminating, taking a leap too far
‘head.
‘My reasons are as follows:
‘The great and at present Insur-
mountable obstacle to s0-called in-
termarriage 1s the attitude of the
white people—an attitude that
springs from an almost incredible
Sgmorance about the Negrd, his ac~
‘complishments and his capabilities,
fon the one hand: and an exagger-
ated opinion about his vices and his
shortcomings, on the other.
‘The Negro’ and hls white frends
are always pointing to the marvel~
‘ous progress the Negro has made
in the shortest period in history,
etc, but there 1s one fletd in which
the’ Negro has made unbelievably
slow progress, namely, in the re-
spect and the esteem of the white
people. And until progress has been
made in that direction, amalgama~
tion and intermarriage, it 1s clear,
‘will not take place, +Human beings,
regardless of color, marry and amal-
gamate only with those ctnsidered
their equal.
‘The numbers of white Americans,
no matter how friendly they seem,
who really regard a Negro, however
accomplished, thelr equal arc os
scarce as brains in the skulls of the
buyers of luck powder. Of course,
one may admire a r.an and make
@ fuss over him without thinking
him one’s equal.
‘To the white American, complex-
fon ts what titles of nobility are to
Europeans and Astatles,
Innumerable instances could be
given of the working of caste. Yes,
caste ts what we have to deal with
in Amerien. Tt ts only imbeciles

Knocking Greatness
A CYNIC who had never been known to praise any-
thing surprised his friends one day by declaring that Har-
vard was far and away the greatest university in America.
‘When asked for his reason he said that in traveling through
the country he had heard Harvard knocked more than any
other three universities.
THIS SOUR COMMENT on humanity carries more
than a grain of truth. The greatest men of history have
generally been the most knocked men of their time. Impos-
ing monuments are built in memory of George Washington,
but while he lived he was called more names than any other
man of his day. Historians have wondered if any other
man of Civil War times could have stood the abuse that was
heaped on Abraham Linceln. in the North as well as the
South. Twenfy years ago financiers and politicians could
find nothing bad enough to say about Theodore Roosevelt,
Andrew Jackson was so slandered that he fought duels with
his vilifiers. Thomas Jefferson was called a red-headed
crook and coward. If other Presidents were not knocked so
savagely it is perhaps because they were not great enough.
‘WHICH is the most-knocked city in America? New
York, of course, the greatest. And in the wide world of
Negroes, which place is knocked more than any other ten
places? Harlem.
Negro Political Inertia
“GREATER INFLUENCE as a group and as a race will
be experienced:by the Negro in devoting the same interest
and energy to humanitarian effort as he devotes to politics,”
said Arthur W. Little, former colonel of the old Fifteenth In-
fantry, in a recent address at St. Mark’s Church.
., WHEN WELL-WISHERS of the Negro start advising
him they almost invariably tell him to pay less attention to
Politics. To hear thers, one: would think that the Negroes
were the most active reliticians in the country. The truth
is that the Negroes, except in one or two cities, are the !sast
active people politically in America. Most cf them live in
the South, and as they have no vote they cannot be active in
Politics.
EVEN WHERE they can vote their political inertia is
shameful. Harlem, for instance, has enough People for a
voting strength of 100,000, yet Tammany Hall dissolved the

in days gone by. Negro politicians

Now there are left only three or

has climaxed under Coolidge.
President Coolidge does not pose
as a leader of public opinion ‘but
as a register of public sentiment.

Just how far public sentiment will

trend of political favor towards the
Negro, yet he has shown kindly per=
sonal’ interest and helpful spirit,
outside of polities, whenever occa
sion presented itself. He has over
and over again voleed his good-will
and sympathetic interest in Negro
education and general advancement.

‘This correspondent advocated a
slow process of marriage among the
Ughter Negroes and whites as a
solution of the so-called problem,

in this letter was what he said

“he hes done Jess to promote his

must, however, thank him for his
good intention, although not easily
translated into action.
And now Mr. Hoover will take

He will enter upon @ very bad in-

Mr. Hoover is under no definité

pay under penalty of reprisal in the
next nominating convention or at

or against him, it would hardly have
effected the margin of his majority.

fixed that in the next national con-.

be any, will have no Independent

But despite all of this, let us hope,
even if we donot expect, that the in-
coming administration will restore,
Oul of sheer sense of high-ininded
patriotism, the Negro all of his lost

Some patients remain fat for a

as the condition grows worse.
Other symptoms of diabetes are
weakness, dry, itchy skin and a
tendency to develop boils and car-

The real trouble is the inability
onthe part of the body to digest
properly and assimilate sugars and
starchy foods, As a result of this,
poisonous products are produced in
the body due to faulty digestion of
fat, which is eed ipendent
on good sugar and starch diges-

reaches a point above normal, it
overflows in the urine, and if this
