ROOSEVELT FREES COP WHO SLEW MAN ACTRESS DIES IN 4-STORY FALL WHEN FIRE ESCAPE GIVES WAY REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION Complete in Two Sections COL. DUNCAN TRIES TO END OWN LIFE FORMER COMMANDER OF EIGHTH ILL. REG'T MAY NOT RECOVER Recently Removed as Head of Famous National Guard Unit, Following Filing of Charges of Irregularities in Handling Supplies CHICAGO, April 22 (ANP).—Faced with possible disgrace and despondent over ill health, the recent loss of his father, and the invalidism of his mother, Col. Otis Duncan, until a few weeks ago commanding officer of the Eighth Regiment of the Illinois National Guard, shot himself through the left side Wednesday night, and is now in a serious condition at St. John's Hospital in Springfield, Illinois, where he lived. The attempt at suicide on the part of Col. Duncan came as a distinct surprise and shock to his many friends, white and colored, throughout the state who had hoped that he might emerge unscathed from the charges made against him. He had been relieved of the command of the regiment by the adjutant general of the state because of alleged irregularities in the handling of Government supplies. This action directly involved Capt. Clarence J. Riggs, who has been charged with selling Government supplies to private individuals and pocketing the money. --- Whether there was any collusion between the colonel and the captain or whether the colonel was to be held responsible for the laxity in supervision which permitted Riggs to do away with the supplies was to have been determined at a military hearing, which was to be given Duncan. Edward H. Wright, former Illinois commerce commissioner, had been retained as counsel by Duncan. Mr. Wright indicated that Duncan would be cleared when the hearing was held. During the war Col. Duncan was awarded the Croik de Guerre with a divisional citation for bravery, and he was the highest Negro commissioned officer at the time of his discharge. Col. Duncan is a descendant of William Def瑟ville, a native of Cape Haitien, who settled in Sangamon County, Ill., in 1831, and became a friend of Abraham Lincoln, who is said to have assisted him to become a man of property. Prior to the late war, Col. Duncan was employed in the office of the state superintend- ```markdown ``` This Week's News Index Page Editorials ..... 20 Special Articles ..... 20 General and National News..... 1-3 Local and Community Pride..... 4-5 Society and Women's Pages..... 6, 7 Sports ..... 8 Local, Music, Business Guide..... 11 Amusements ..... 13 News of Churches, Praternities..... 15 News of Brooklyn and Long Island ..... 10 New Jersey and Out of Town..... 14 ADVERTISING INDEX.

"Duncan has a good background," the state superintendent told a reporter for the Chicago Tribune after the shooting. "I have never known a man, white or colored, with a brighter, keener mind. Since the war he has not been the same man. He suffered frightfully from sinus trouble. Whatever was wrong with his affairs in Chicago, if anything, must have been due to ill health."

Buchanan, former United States Marshal, both white, were facing charges with Howard. The trial is a result of the activities of Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney General, who avowed to have the politician shorn of his power at the last G. O. P. convention. Freed last fall of patronage charges, Howard is now accused of selling the position of marshal to Bughanan for $2,000. The two others were indicted as go-betweens. White Farmers to Decide. A jury of twelve white farmers drawn from a list of 120 veniremen, is sitting in judgment on the case. (Continued on Page 2.) THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News Oscar Waters, 40, 26 West 123d street, real estate salesman and reputed Democratic leader of the Nineteenth Assembly district, pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted forgery in the third degree yesterday in General Sessions before Judge Max S. Levine. The plea was made to cover two other indictments of second degree forgery. The politician, who acted as Harlem manager for Judge Mancuso of General Sessions a few years ago, will be sentenced May 8. The charges came as a result of a raid on an alleged speakeasy last fall, when pistol permits bearing the name of Judge George H. Furman of Suffolk County were found on the bartenders. Waters was arraigned Dec. 10. He was known to have a varying political complexion and recently went back to the Democrats after a sojourn with the Republicans. Two Feel Jones Law's Teeth; Get Jail Terms Two men, one from Brooklyn and another from Harlem, felt the sting of the Jones law here Monday when tried on liquor charges. Edward Tucker, 20 West 136th street, pleaded guilty to the operation of a fifty-gallon still, and was sentenced to six months in the House of Detention by Federal Judge Goddard in the Southern district. Frank Johnson, 28, 319 Pacific street. Brooklyn, was sentenced to forty days in jail by Judge Burrows for operating a still March 28 at 1790 Dean street. Supreme Court Orders Cemetery to Disinter Woodlawn Cemetery officials were ordered Wednesday by the Supreme Court to exhume the body of Richard B Cardwell, former Post Office clerk, because the widow, Mrs. Edna Stephens Cardwell, 48 St. Nicholas place, fears the body or head has been mutilated. The body will be disinterred the latter part of this week. John William Smith. 26 Cortlandt street, Mrs. Cardwell's attorney, said Saturday. The decision was handed down by Justice Ford at a hearing on a showcause order. The clerk died Sept. 30 of spleen enlargement, a rare disease. Medical men became interested in the case and asked permission to examine certain glands in the head. Mrs. Cardwell stated that she gave permission to examine the body and insisted that the brain and head should not be disturbed. Four days after the burial the grave was found open, according to the wife. It was closed only after she had brought the matter to the attention of the cemetery officials.

Canary Chase Victim Late Edith Dunbar GOVERNOR COMMUTES PRISON SENTENCE OF PATROLMAN HIGGINS Convicted of Manslaughter in Connection With Death of Clinton DeForest, Actor, After Severe Beating in Central Park—First Denied Encounter Police brutality scored a point Sunday when Joseph A. Higgins, 35, white, former policeman attached to the Arsenal station in Central Park, who beat Clinton DeForest, an actor, in August, 1926, had his sentence of from three to seven years in Sing Sing for manslaughter commuted by Governor Roosevelt. Higgins was among eleven others shown clemency out of 1,075 pleas considered. At the time of his death DeForest lived at 256 West 130th street. Higgins was convicted of manslaughter on Jan. 18, 1927, and sentenced on Feb. 11, 1927, by Judge Mancuso in General Sessions, following the testimony of John Muller, white, 376 Fifth avenue, Brooklyn, a witness to the assault, and Joseph Henn, also white, a taxi driver, 3311 Broadway, who found DeForest lying unconscious in Central Park. Accusation Never Proven. At Higgins' trial Eleanor Booth Simmons, white, 59 Nagle avenue, the Bronx, a former newspaper woman, asked the court for mercy, saying that DeForest was beaten because he had molested several women in the park. However, this accusation was never proven. DeForest, who was a female impersonator, had been to visit the bier of his friend, Rudolph Valentino, and was passing through Central Park on the West Drive near Seventy-first street at about 9 o'clock on the night.

EXTRA REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION WHEREVER Possible Trade With Stores in Harlem That Do Not Practice Discrimination in the Selection of Their Employees. EDITH DUNBAR DIES MARTYR TO PET SHE HAD BEEN CHASING Rushed to Harlem Hospital, Efforts to Save Bird Lover Prove Futile and End Comes in Six Hours Tenants Hint of Criminal Negligence A rusty fire escape brought death to Edith Dunbar, 28, a show girl, 2251 Seventh avenue, Sunday when she went to the fourth floor apartment of Mrs. Marie Smallwood and went out on the fire escape to get her canary, which had flown out the window. City officials are investigating. The flimsy iron flooring bars of the narrow fire escape broke away and dashed the actress onto the railing of the fire escape landing on the floor below, nearly tearing off her right leg. Her body then hurtled down three more stories and crashed onto an ashcan, an iron railing and other debris in the rear cellarway. This happened at noon. Patrol- Swindling Experts Jailed as Vagrants Five "Pocketbook Game" Artists, Including Woman, Sent to Workhouse Four men with prison records and one woman, all with aliases, were arrested for vagrancy and grand larceny by Detectives Bauerschmidt, Crosby and Kochman of the Sixth Detective District, and arraigned Friday before Magistate Ewald in Heights Court. The defendants were Tressie or Cressie Thomas, 27, alias Thomas Reno; Joseph Harris and George Thomas, 50 West Twelfth street; John Washington, 28, alias Johnson, 133 West 144th street, and James, alias Joseph Hurd, 33, 4 West 129th street, who were sentenced to 60 days each in the workhouse on charges of vagrancy. The other two prisoners were Louis Young, 37, alias R. J. Young and John Williams, 630 Main street, Memphis, Tenn., and Lillian Young, 22, alias Weeks, 106 Washington street, Augusta, Ga., who were both held without bail for a further hearing on a charge of grand larceny. They are accused of swindling $203 from Katie Thornton of Jamaica, L. L., on April 12 by means of the pocketbook game, and were identified in the police lineup. Police records revealed that Young is an escaped prisoner from the penitentiary at Buffalo, where he was sentenced to serve one year for petty larceny in 1926. Louis and Lillian Young were arraigned again Monday before Magistrate Douras, who sentenced them to sixty days each in the workhouse on charges of vagrancy. The charge of grand larceny in connection with the pocketbook game will be heard in Brooklyn where, the police said, the alleged swindle occurred. BOUGHT AUTO, PAID DEPOSIT, STEPPED ON GAS Edward Douglass, 29, alias Weldon, 351 St. Nicholas avenue, was held Saturday in $2,000 ball for a further hearing on a charge of being a fugitive from New Haven, Conn., where he is said to have paid a deposit on an automobile and took the car and kept on going. Detective Green of the Fifteenth squad told Magistrate Ewald in Heights Court that Douglass is wanted on a charge of grand larceny, in that he still owes a balance of $500 on the car. night death to juice, Sunday w wars, Marie Sma- er canary, which investigating. g bars of the actress onto the collow, nearly own three more dling and other at death to Edith Dunbar, 28, a g., Sunday when she went to the Marie Smallwood and went out anay, which had flown out the stigating. parts of the narrow fire escape ress onto the railing of the fire ow, nearly tearing off her right in three more stories and crashed g and other debris in the rear. This happened at noon. Patrol- man Samuel Matthews of the West 133th street station was called to the scene. It was necessary to break down the cellar door in order to reach the woman. Dr. Holt arrived from Harlem Hospital and removed her to that institution, where physi- clians prepared to amputate her right leg in an effort to save her life. The performer also suffered severe internal injuries, and died at 6 o'clock. In private life Miss Dunbar was known as Mrs. Edith Hinton. Her husband is a steward in the Navy on the U. S. S. Barry and was on the high seas, it is said, when his wife died. Wilbert H. McGuire, 127 West 133d street, a relative of Hinton, made an effort to locate him through the Navy Department. Detectives Robinson and Winterhalter of the West 135th street station conducted an investigation. "No Inspection," Tenant Says. The landlord of the property where the tragedy occurred is said to be Margaret Whittaker, 122 West 132d street. According to Mrs. Smallwood, who witnessed the accident, there has never been an inspection of the fire escapes there. A reporter of The Amsterdam News observed that the rivets which fastened the iron floor to the cross members had rusted almost completely away. Miss Dunbar had left her kitchen window open and her canary flew to the roof of a building in the rear. Her home is on the second floor and she went to the fourth floor to get nearer, hoping to entice the bird to fly back into the cage. She gave the cage to Mrs. Smallwood to hold while she climbed through the window. The moment she stepped onto the fire escape it broke through and she plunged to her death in the courtyard. Friends of the dead actress said that she was a great lover of pets, and that she once had a 'coon and some pet rats, which they feared would cause her death at some time when crawling out a window to recapture some one of them. A rabbit and goldfish are the pets she had along with the canary. Had Beautiful Apartment.

Philip Randolph to Discuss Latest Pullman Company Activity With Board A. Philip Randolph to Discuss Latest Pullman Company Activity With Board United States Mediation Organization to Be Told of Alleged Intimidation of Porters and Maids Under Employee Representation Plan A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, and William Green, white, president of the American Federation of Labor, will confer today with the United States Mediation Board at Washington for the purpose of examining the results of a conference and election being held by the Pullman Company for the discussion of porters' and maids' wages and working conditions under the Employee Representation Plan. TWO Mr. Randolph and Mr. Green will expose to the Board the Pullman Company's method of alleged intimidation to compel the porters and maids to vote. At two mass meetings at St. Luke's Hall, 125 West 130th street, last Tuesday and Thursday nights, the Pullman revealed that the Mediation Board had suggested to the Pullman Company that they submit to the porters a referendum stating their choice between the Brotherhood and the Company Union, and that the Pullman Company dismissed the suggestion. Collins Pledges Support. At Tuesday's meeting William Collins, white, head of the A. F. of L. in the New York district, advised the porters not to vote in the present conference and assured them of the A. F. of L.'s support. Mr. Randolph spoke of his 8,000-mile trip throughout the West, where he said the militant spirit of the Brotherhood was amazing and that it exceeded by far the spirit of the men in the East. The morale of the Brotherhood throughout the country has increased 100 per cent since the granting of the A. F. of L. Federal Charter, he said. "At the next convention of the American Federation of Labor a Negro will take the floor for the first time," said the speaker. "The Brotherhood will reorganize, establish locals and fight for the Negro in every industry in an effort to break down union prejudice. "All railroad employees are now unionized for the first time in railroad history. The Brotherhood is now affiliated with them all." New Membership Drive. The organizer announced that immediately following the Washington conference he will consult with Mr. Green upon a plan to reuse the Brotherhood membership to 10,000 porters within five days. High-powered and high-pressure methods will be employed, he said, to either drive all the porters into the Brotherhood or drive them off the cars. "The Pullman Company now has only two alternatives," said Mr. Randolph. "It must either destroy the Brotherhood or come to terms with it. The Brotherhood is too strong now to be destroyed." The difference between an International Charter, which was the Brotherhood's first aim, and a Federal Charter, which they were granted, was explained by Mr. Randolph in an interview Friday. Under the former, the Brotherhood would be able to act independently of the A. F. of L. in calling a strike and could command the Federation's support. Under the latter, the Brotherhood cannot promote a strike without the Federal Government. In Brotherhood's reorganization plan will include the setting up of a national board of directors, said the organizer. The Pullman Delegates. The Finals Those whom the Pullman Company plan to have as in the wage conference as delegates are said to include, J. R. H. Kelley, Atlanta; J. S. Johnson, Jacksonville; John Flynn, Sawayani; U. J.

The soft mattress is overlaid with costly coverlets, and it would seem to take five minutes to remove the profusion of pillows if one desired to retire. A French doll sits under the canopy. The dressing table and other pieces were all draped in old rose. Ganasea Otiz, a close friend of Miss Dunbar, said that to great many she was rather mysterious. She loved alive what alone and enjoy her environment. All the paintings and decorating was done by herself, said Miss Otiz. Acted as Hostess. At one time Mrs. Hinton was hostess at both the Alhambra and Renaissance ballrooms. She also appeared in Clarence Muse's Broadway show, "Bottom Land." For quite a while she travelled with Martin and Walker's show, and was a very good dancer.

Patrolman Higgins' Term Commuted Patrolman Higgins' Term Commuted (Continued from Page 1.) of August 24. Higgins is said to have approached him and told him to move on, whereupon the two men engaged in an altercation. A Savage Murder. Higgins then gave DeForest a most savage beating with his fists, blackening DeForest's eyes, breaking his jaw, fracturing his skull, and inflicting severe internal injuries. DeForest's mother, who was later summoned here from Boston, could only identify her son by his hands and body; his face was mutilated beyond recognition. DeForest was not placed under arrest, but was mysteriously removed from the West to the East Drive, where the taxi driver found him. Muller witnessed the beating and reported it to Captain Mason of the Arsenal station. An investigation was started and Higgins was arrested on a charge of assault, on which he was arraigned in West Side Court and suspended from the police force. Cop Caught Lying. Cop Caught Lying On advice of counsel, Higgins refused to discuss the case, other than to completely deny all knowledge of it whatsoever. DeForest was removed to Metropolitan Hospital, where he regained consciousness, but was too badly hurt to give any account of what happened to him. He died on Aug. 29. Higgins was held on a charge of murder. He then admitted that he had beaten DeForest with his fists while attempting to arrest him on suspicion. During the investigation Captain Mason apparently sought to excuse Higgins' brutality by saying that he probably came upon DeForest in the dark and struck him because he thought him a robber suspect or someone who had been molesting women in the park. It was never explained why DeForest was not arrested, nor how he happened to be found on the other side of the park from where he was beaten. In imposing sentence, Judge Mancusco declared that it was the duty of the police to protect life and not to destroy it. At the time of the trial Higgins' address was given as 468 West Fifty-fifth street. Larchmont Minister's Case Adjourned Again The hearing in the case of James H. Thomas, 38, 279 West 127th street, who stated he was a minister in Larchmont, was again adjourned Thursday by Magistrate Well in Harlem Court. The minister is charged with felonious assault and violating the Sullivan Law. He was arrested by Detectives O'Connor and Cavone of the East 126th street station on complaint of Alfred McCullough, a longshoreman of 22 East 118th street. He charged that following a dispute with Thomas the latter called him into the basement of 22 East 118th street, and pointing a revolver at him, threatened to kill him. The case was adjourned until tomorrow. MURDER SUSPECT TAKEN IN CUSTODY SAYRE, Pa., April 18—A man giving the name of David Blackwell of Smithfield, N.

E. Hindman, Attorney of the Southern district. The defendants have two of the most outstanding local counsels, J. W. Cassidy of Brookhaven and Louis Hallman of Jackson, both white. The dozen witnesses to be called were being placed on the stand with dispatch and an early verdict was expected. The trial was originally on the calendar in March, but was adjourned when Fred Sullens, editor of the Jackson Daily News, was cited for contempt because of an editorial he wrote expressing the opinion that the Government has not a chance to win. Sullens continues to express himself vociferously and he reflects the sentiment that the prejudice-ridden state does not want Howard convicted. Press Sees Revolt. While Mississippi was busying herself with the Howard trial, Charles Michelson, Washington press correspondent, was broadcasting a report of what he terms a revolt of Republican Negroes against the Hoover regime. Congressmen received a broadside sheet of editorials compiled from the weekly press arraigning the President and the party for their attempt to make the Southern G. O. P. leadership white. Robert R. Church, Memphis Republican boss, who is credited with forcing the resignation of Hoover's Dixie campaign chieftain, is reported to have sent the propaganda. The collection of articles was compiled by the Memphis Triangle.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 22.—Minutes of the last grand lodge of the Improved, Behevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, being distributed by Grand Secretary James E. Kelley, substantiate the findings of Sheridan A. Brusseaux, head of the Keystone National Detective Agency of Chicago, who made an investigation of Elk affairs for prominent New York and Chicago Elks. Expenses of the grand lodge, which was held in Chicago last August, totaled $19,648.24, according to the minutes. This amount was paid to officers and delegates for traveling expenses and services on committees. One-third of the membership of the grand lodge, the minutes show, was on the payroll. There were 1,013 Elks in the grand lodge. Of this number 391 were on the payroll. alted Ruler Wilson, according to the minutes, got $126.40 for attending the grand lodge as well as $150 for a trip to Savannah, Ga. No explanation is made of the Savannah item. Other grand lodge officers receiving mileage and per diem were as follows: Dr. S. H. George, grand esteemed leading knight. $64.54; Joe H. James Jr., grand esteemed loyal knight. $135.45; Dr. Roland R. Johnson, grand esteemed lecturing knight. In the report of his findings, Mr. Brussaux charged that the Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson abuses his appointive power. He pointed out that the head of the order at each grand lodge session appoints on committees a large number of delegates, who vote as he directs and in return are paid $7 a day at least, for their services. This action is corrupt, Mr. Brussaux declared, and enables Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson to persecute himself in office. At the Chicago grand lodge session, the minutes show, Mr. Wilson appointed 17 committees with a total membership of 181, 52 assistant grand inner guards, 41 assistant grand titers, 30 assistant grand esquires, 21 special police officers, 18 miscellaneous, 4 to assist in paying mileage and per diem, and 2 special technical stenographers.

O'Shields, of Portersville, 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 comes close on constipation. "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.

Miss Kane was the sister of Detective Sergeant James Kane of Brooklyn. Suspected of 40 Attacks. The police are now making an effort to fasten upon White the responsibility of attacking forty white women in subway stations at different times, since this number of women are said to have complained of being molested by colored men. White was arrested Saturday night on complaint of Charlotte Lukis, 24 white, 95 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, who said she identified White as the man who placed his arm about her waist as she was ascending the stairs at the Brooklyn Museum station of I. R. T. subway.

In the springtime when the thoughts of young men turn to love, their next thought should be that of owning a home. But it is seldom so, especially with the average Negro youth, whose economic condition usually precludes any thought of buying a home until after he is married and his wife has worked to help him pay for it. "I can't give you anything but love, baby," is the modern serenade. The landlord replies, "How about me?" But there is hope today for the thrifty youth who, in the matter of owning a home, can easily do his grandfather of log cabin days. His dream of just a cottage small with tea for two is more easily realized through the efforts of rich and powerful finance companies, working with home builders who build houses tenfold better than those of grandma's time and at less cost. a debt that may end in the loss of your entire investment. "In addition to a substantial down payment, you should have a savings fund sufficient for any ordinary emergencies and enough life insurance to protect your family from loss in case of death before the home is paid for." Taking It Easy. Real estate observers declare that the home-buying dollar will go further this year than ever before. If a youth has had a little fore-sight aid has been paying $2 down and $2 a month, or more, on some lot somewhere out among the trees, he may deposit $25 or $50 down and $25 a month and build him just a love nest, cozy and warm in the winter days and delightfully cool in the summer. Such an opportunity exists for buying a home in New Jersey, Long Island, Queens and Brooklyn. One Long Island real estate firm will provide you with a deed to a ready-made home on a plot 40 by 100, having furnace heat, tiled bath, standard plumbing fixtures, enameled gas range, gas, water and electricity installed, for a down payment of $175 and monthly payments, including interest, of $39.75. The price of such a "happiness home" is placed at $3.975. The renting of a similar home would amount to about the same per month. Sound Advice. While the foregoing arrangement apparently holds out the promise of an easy method of buying a home the following warning is heard from an authority on the subject, the Bowyary Savings Bank, 110 East Forty-second street: "It is a great mistake to buy on a very small down payment unless you have ample income to meet heavier carrying charges (interest, insurance, taxes, repairs) this method imposes. The smaller the down payment, the larger the carrying charges, and the danger of losing what has been paid in.

"In addition to a substantial down payment, you should have a savings fund sufficient for any ordinary emergencies and enough life insurance to protect your family from loss in case of death before the home is paid for." Lloyd R. Johnson of the Harlem Real Estate Exchange, 2208 Seventh avenue, was questioned on what advice to give the small investor in a home, especially the young man. He said, "There are so many ramifications in the matter that it is hard to advise. Everything depends upon the human equation. "I would say that the first important step to be taken in buying a home is to consult a reliable real estate broker. "If a young man intends to buy a home the first thing to consider is his incentive for doing so, that is, is it strong enough to cause him to make the necessary sacrifices." The dominant force behind a young man's purchase of a home is the love of the girl he intends to marry or is married to, he said. Character Counts. "In the same manner that the credit system of the world is built upon character, so is home ownership, especially for those just starting out in life. As in all things, self-control is the cardinal virtue demanded of the man or woman who would steer their bark of life into the harbor of their desires. The greater measure of happiness comes to those who sacrifice the present to the future. "Thrift and economy still remain the only sure paths to financial independence.

BELL NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1929 Nail and Parker, Among Pioneers in Harlem Realty, Began 22 Years Ago Starting from an insignificant beginning in 1907, the real estate firm of Nail and Parker. 145 West 135th street, is now doing an annual business of millions of dollars. The establishment began as a partnership between John E. Nail and Henry C. Parker and was later incorporated with Mr. Nail as president and Mr. Parker as secretary-treasurer. similar places where small homes are built. "It depends upon the rules of the particular association of which you may be a member as to whether or not one can buy a home through the association before all of their shares are paid for." The average amount saved during such membership is about $1,000 over a period of five years. Buying a home through a building and loan association is considered to be the safest method, as the association looks after the title and search and other legal matters. Suburban Health Suburban and country life offer more in better health and more enjoyable citizenship, and to own your home and enjoy these conditions makes life more worth living. A better, healthier family of children can be raised under these conditions than in crowded apartments. The ownership of an apartment in a co-operative building is a much less attractive proposition than the ownership of a home, no matter how small, in the country or the suburbs. Other Banks.

Parker and was later incorpor and Mr. Parker as secretary-tr Before starting in business for themselves, Nail and Parker were employed in the offices of the late Philip A. Payton Jr., Harlem's ploneman and agent and broker. The Payton firm is now located at 328 Lepox avenue. Not Backed by Father. Contrary to the belief of many, Mr. Nall's father, John B. Nall, one of the city's oldest. Negro business men in this section, now retired, did not finance the Nall and Parker partnership in 1907, nor did he make any contribution to the business thereafter. The senior Mr. Nall conducted a restaurant on Sixth avenue near Twenty-eighth street over twenty years ago. In an exclusive interview with The Amsterdam News Friday evening, Mr. Nall reviewed some of the major operations of his firm and declared that the ideal for which they are striving is the same as it was twenty years ago—to build a successful business. This despite the fact that his firm is now considered as distinguished as the Payton establishment and enjoys the confidence of the city's leading banking and insurance houses. When asked what new deal his firm was turning now for the community's benefit, Mr. Nail revealed that he had recently been personally chosen to negotiate a half-million dollar proposition here in Harlem and was given a free hand. He negotiated the deal to a satisfactory close, he said, having purchased the property in question for a sum less than the price anticipated. "A public announcement of the nature of the project will me made soon," said the realtor. First $1,000,000 Deal. The purchase about eighteen years ago of properties in West 133d and 134th streets on which was completed in 1911 St. Philip's Episcopal Church, parish house and other buildings, together with properties in West 135th street, from 105 to 145, all for the sum of $1,070,000, was the first large real estate transaction conducted by Nail and Parker. This firm was also responsible for the sale of properties at 185 West 135th street and 2301, 2303 and 2305 Seventh avenue to St. Philip's Church. Nail and Parker continue the management of the church's properties, from which they collect about $25,000 a year. Another property transfer of great proportions was that of thirty-eight houses in West 136th, 137th, 138th and 139th streets near Seventh avenue for the Equitable Life Assurance Society, which owns about 100 houses in this district. Mr. Nall's firm is also engaged in the appraisal of property, the raising of mortgages and the conduct of condemnation proceedings. They do an extensive business in first mortgages for several savings banks. $1,000,000 in Rents. Rents in the amount of $1,000,000 a year are collected. The buying and selling of property amounts to between $8,000,000 and $10,000,000 a year, it is estimated. This amount was stated in the absence of any tabulated figures. Mr. Nall figured prominently in condemnation proceedings some years ago when he successfully testified against the city's experts regarding the value of the properties which stood on the present site of the bath house in West 134th street between Lenox and Fifth avenues, and in a similar case prior to the razing of properties at Ninety-ninth street and Columbus avenue where an "L" station was built. During Mayor Hylan's administration Mr. Nail was the only Negro member of the Housing Committee of New York City. At the present time he is the only Negro on the real estate board of Mayor Walker's City Planning Commission. Predicts a White Harlem. Mr. Nail stated that amazing developments in real estate are about to take place in Harlem and that mortgage, or note—unless you know what you are signing and are sure that you are justified in signing it. Before signing the contract or any other binding document, you should consult a reliable real estate attorney. It is advisable to have title insurance. Employ a lawyer to close the deal or have the title company do it." As a general guide as to what one should pay for a home, the Bowery infers that the cost should not exceed two or three times the annual income. Of course, this "depends upon the amount and permanence of the income, the cost of maintaining the family, the savings that have been accumulated, the willingness to economize while the home is being paid for, and other similar considerations." The minimum amount of the down payment should probably be from 15 to 30 per cent of the cost, it is estimated. The general rule is to buy a home subject to a first mortgage. First mortgage loans up to 60 per cent of the value of improved property are issued by savings banks of New York State. This value is somewhat less than the selling price, which includes the seller's profit. Mortgages are usually placed for three years at 6 per cent, while second mortgages Among Pioneers in Began 22 Years Ago lects Million Dollars Annually Cross Business of About 100 Annually cant beginning in 1907, the real r. 145 West 135th street, is now millions of dollars.

Land values will gradually become so high within the next twenty years that Negroes will be forced, on account of their economic condition, to sell their properties to white people and move out of the community, he predicted. "This city is about to begin the greatest building program in its history. "However, such a condition would afford many Negroes an opportunity to become very wealthy, provided they know when to sell," said Mr. Nall. "Seldom does a Negro property owner know when to sell, but rather holds onto it for dear life until its ownership becomes unprofitable." The realtor cited many instances in which Negro property owners erroneously entrusted their real estate affairs to inexperienced or scheming operators with the result that their properties became "all rummed up." "Many of them have come to me for help, and I have given them assistance without receiving any fee," he said. I spend one-third of my time every year untangling these cases. Yet, in spite of our firm's unusual contacts, its high endorsements, its experience and strictly ethical standards, we negotiate to give their business to someone just starting out. They fail to realize that real estate is a profession, and a highly technical one." Scores "Nerro Entities" Mr. Nail is a staunch exponent of bi-racial institutions. He openly declares himself disinterested in anything strictly Negro. He believes and preaches that best results are obtained by the races working together. "We have ceased trying to do Negro business," he said. "Negro entities are a mistake because they limit themselves. Our purpose is to do business everywhere. All that the other race requires of a business firm is competence." Mr. Nail was at one time the president of the Association of Trade and Commerce, 2370 Seventh avenue. The Nail and Parker personnel is headed by Mr. Nail's indispensable secretary and office manager, Margaret H. Robinson, who has been with the firm nine years. Two white men are also on the staff in the persons of David B. Peskin, manager of the repair department, and Morris H. Kahn, a rent collector. Mr. Peskin has served five years. Other five-year members are Richard I. Jackson, bookkeeper, and Lucille M. Pooler, cashier. Theodore H. Parker, brother of Henry C. Parker, and Sherman K. Edmiston are rent collectors. Mr. Parker joined his brother eighteen years ago. Norman W. Robinson is their real estate salesman. The clerks include Beatrice T. Johnson, Dorothy Fountain and Kenneth B. Wibecan.

Purvear is manager. are generally placed from three to five years and are required to be paid off in quarterly or semi-annual payments of about 4 per cent a quarter. Second mortgages cannot be renewed except by the payment of a bonus which may cost you from 10 to 20 per cent. An Example Given. "A mistake that many make in buying a home is in not taking into consideration the cost of closing the deal in addition to the down payment," says the Bowyer Savings Bank. The Bowyer gives an example of the approximate expenses attendant upon buying a six-room house with bath and sun porch, costing $8,000, with a first mortgage of $4,800 already placed. The down payment is estimated at $2,000. The second mortgage is estimated at $1,200, and both the first and second mortgages are placed at three years at six per cent. The initial expenses on such a purchase amounts to $2,152. This includes the down payment; title and search insurance, $92; drawing bond and mortgage (second mortgage), $7.50; second mortgage tax, $15; recording deed and mortgage, $7.50, and insurance on $8,000 for three years, $40. In addition to this, taxes will probably be adjusted between $20 and $50. Expenses the first year will amount to about $556. This will include first mortgage interest, $288; second mortgage interest, $72; second mortgage payments, $192; water, $10; taxes (approximate), $150, and coal (about one and a half tons per room), $144. There will be no expense for repairs the first year if the house is new. Over a period of years, however, repairs will probably average from two to three per cent per year of the value. Mr. Johnson explained, "The purchase of a home in a place that is being steadily built up will require caution on the part of the buyer because of assessments for public improvements. There is no need to worry about this in the large cities where most of the improvements are already finished, but in other places these assessments have often caused many people to lose their homes. Therefore, the prospective buyer should carefully investigate the community into which he intends to make his permanent home." Just What to Do. The Bowyer Savings Bank gives six rules to be followed by those who anticipate home ownership. "First, make the decision as to what priced home you need and can afford. "Second, start a special savings account for the accumulation of a reasonable down payment by regular weekly or monthly deposits. "Third, when you have your initial payment well under way, decide on the general locality in which you want to make your permanent home. "Fourth, find a reliable real estate firm, one in which you have full confidence, explain your needs, and about what you can pay. "Fifth, when you have found a place that meets with your general requirements, make an examination of such details as the following: "Distance from place of business, travelling facilities, commutation rates; schools, stores, churches; fire and police protection; public improvements—water, gas, electricity, streets, sewers, sidewalks and building restrictions; draining, grading, shade trees, character of neighborhood, zoning laws; nulsances—undesirable factories, swamps, dilapidated buildings, heavy traffic, construction and condition of house. "Sixth, consult an attorney about the legal phases." Samuel Smiles said, "Economizing for the purpose of being independent is one of the soundest indications of manly character." However, there is something more needed than the mere thrift of money. It is the thrift of time, in which we wring from every passing opportunity, every drop of life blood and make it flow into our strength. "Belleve me when I tell you," said W. E. Gladstone, "that thrift of time will repay you in after-life with a most of profit beyond your most sanguine dreams; and that waste of it will make you dwindle alike in intellectual and moral stature beyond your darkest reckoning." Governor Signs Bill Fixing Driver's Responsibility ALBANY, April 22.—The Fearon-Stone bill, compelling owners and operators of motor vehicles to show financial responsibility, was signed by Gov. Roosevelt today. Any operator must be able to meet a judgment if it is rendered against him up to $5,000 for an injury to one person, up to $10,000 for an injury to more than one person, and up to $1,000 for property damage. Otherwise his license will be revoked. The license of anyone who has been found guilty of driving while intoxicated or who has left the scene of an accident without reporting it will be suspended until he has given proof of his financial responsibility in case of future accidents. The proof may be an insurance policy, a bond, or a deposit with the state. The bill is a compromise measure backed by the Automobile Association of America. In a hearing before the Governor it was attacked as a business-getting scheme of insurance companies.

Walton estimated that the annual expenditure of Harlem's 200,000 Negroes for the necessities and luxuries of life is over $150,000,000. Now $150,000,000 is quite a huge sum of money. Spent wisely it can be used as a force to hasten the day when the Negro in Harlem will be economically independent. Spent foolishly, it can help fasten the tentacle of economic slavery more securely on him.

Often I have heard young women in their twenties bewailing the fact that the youngsters in their early teens were putting them in the background. Now, isn't one of the reasons because the younger girl is more enthusiastic? In order to arouse interest in others you have to be interested yourself. It's shown in your tone of voice, in your eye, in your carriage, and even in your clothes. In fact, clothes very easily show the presence or lack of enthusiasm. Brush up. Have confidence in yourself and look on the sunny side. Dear K. L.: The first thing I advise you to do is to go to night school and learn a little English. Your letter was badly written and much too long. Probably the main reason why people do not care for your company is because you are boring. Join the Y. M. C. A. and go to some of the fine lectures they have there. Stop pitying yourself and try to be interesting. EGYPSY ANN.

Harlem 8615 Stretching the Pennies HOW am I going to look well on a few pennies? That's a question that confronts many a woman. She realizes the part that a good appearance pays, and if she is wise she will do a little careful thinking. Instead of worrying about where you are going to get the money from to buy new clothes, why not overhaul your old ones? Take the things that can stand wearing, but are soiled, spotted, faded or a little out of date, to the tailors. Clothes don't have to be new, but they must be clean and unwrinkled. Men don't buy a new suit every time an old one gets a little creased. To the tailors they go, and to the tailor or dressmaker you'll go if you're wise. Don't let your hats get soiled and out of shape. Take them to the hatter's and get them blocked and cleaned. Then, too, there are little things you yourself can do. Are you guilty of carrying soiled powder puffs? Well, you've no reason to be. Wash them and they are as good as new. Don't allow your hair brush to become dirty. Wash it with a sweet smelling soap and hot water once a week and let it dry in the sun. Then when you brush your hair you won't be putting more dust into it than you are taking out. Another humble suggestion concerns your stockings. Did you ever find that you had a number of good stockings, but that none of them matched? Why not dye them to match? You can do it yourself and who'll know the difference? Do you find that you are ruining your good towels by rubbing the cold cream off your face and neck, into them? Try the little tissue handkerchiefs made especially for that purpose. They are much more practical. Go over the old things and save money.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1929 From Cellar to Garret A Department for the Exchange of Ideas on Homemaking Salads and Dressings THE whole secret in making a delightful salad is to combine harmoniously the chilled ingredients (enhanced by a suitable dressing) into an artistic whole. The following cautions therefore become most important. Cut, arrange and combine attractive foods neatly. 2. Thoroughly chill all of the ingredients. 3. Blend only harmonious flavors and colors. 4. Drain all fruits, lettuce and vegetables well and whip any cream that may be added to avoid wetness in the product. A good salad is crisp and moist, but never sloppy and wet. Cooked Dressing. 2 whole eggs ½ cup vinegar ½ cup water ½ teaspoon pepper 1/16 teaspoon celery salt 1 tablespoon mustard 2 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/16 teaspoon curry powder ½ cup sugar 1 tablespoon butter MIX the dry ingredients until thoroughly blended. Add the wet-beaten eggs and liquid. Cook and stir over hot water until thickened (fifteen minutes). Add the butter and cool before using. This dressing may be made with fruit juice rather than vinegar if it is to be used for fruit salads. Should it curdle at any time during the cooking process, remove it from the hot water and beat smooth with an egg beater before proceeding. Quick Mayonnaise. 2 egg yolks or 1 whole egg 2 tablespoons vinegar 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon mustard 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 1/16 teaspoon cayenne 1 cup vegetable oil PUT the eggs and vinegar into a mixing bowl.

Add the mustard, salt, sugar and cayenne. Mix well. Beat vigorously with a fork while adding the oil a drop at a time until the mixture thickens. Then add the oil 15 teaspoon at a time, beating vigorously with each addition. Continue beating and adding the oil until the mixture becomes too thick for beating. Thin out by mixing in a little of the lemon juice or vinegar and then proceed to work in the oil. Once a thick emulsion has been beaten up, the oil may be added after two tablespoons at a time. Beat in the roasted acid and hot water. The addition of this hot water after the mixture has been thoroughly blended prevents the oil from separating from the other ingredients on standing.

Some find it convenient to put the materials for French dressing in a bottle or jar and mix the ingredients by shaking the bottle just before using. (For fruit salads the addition of one tablespoon of sugar and one teaspoon of lemon juice to the French dressing recipe given here makes a pleasing flavor. Celery salt is thought by some to improve the flavor. All vegetable salads are better if marinated beaked one hour in French dressing before making up into salad.)

More interest is being manifested in the Lincoln Giants this year than at any other time during the past few years. The league headquarters in Philadelphia has been busy giving the public an insight on the hopes and aspirations of the new venture and lovers of the game are optimistic despite the failure in the past of the baseball men in the East to get together. EIGHT Despite the claims being made in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and other states as to the relative merits of the teams to oppose the presses, Jim Keanan, fighting ace, behind the New York outfit, and John Henry Lloyd, manager and captain of the Lincolns, are confident that if victory fail to be the designation of the winner, the less let the world know that the winners have been in a real race. Believing that "the grand old man" of Negro baseball has rounded out one of the best aggregations of diamond men to represent the Emperor Lloyd is showing the kind of confidence that has had a great deal to do in arousing the enthusiasm being shown by the fans, to say nothing of the hopes for a real old-fashioned celebrator of the real game is found sitting at the top of the world. For the past three weeks the Lincolns have been putting everything into their warm-up games for league activities, and with ideal weather and victory being their lot on every occasion thus far, they feel that they are getting off to a good start. Sunday, April 29, turns out as fans and players hope, it is whispered around that the old war horse Jimmie Keenan, plans to do things up brown and have a hand and other features at the Oval. The New York team is complete with reserves of promising quality who are expected to step in in the pinches and star for the city on the Hudson. Sol White, whose contribution to Negro baseball in the early days are being recalled by the old-time, will be on the job doing special work for The Amsterdam News, his timely contributions to that paper having helped to add to the interest being displayed by fans not only in the Greater City, but wherever the game is played. Sol with paper and pencil assumes a new role on the diamond, but he has been hitting 100 per cent and they give him the glad hand at the Oval these days. It is believed by many that the greatest threat to what the Lincolnns hope will be their supremacy before the season ends will come from Pittsburgh, where the only "Vault" Posey is being his invasion with his Homestead, Grays, as nothing else gives Posey more joy and elation than winning from a New York combination, whether it is in baseball or basketball. Defenders Close Successful Season On Friday evening, April 12, the Defenders, calamants of the colored girls' basketball championship of the East, were returned the winners over Hoof Nugent's "Pals" the Staten Island professional female champs, in a hard fought cage at K.C. O'Connor's Brighton, before a large audience. The Defenders triumphed by a one-point margin, the final score being 15-14. The Pals got off to an early lead at the very start of the contest and at half time led by six points, the score being 11-5, but in the second half the Defenders swept into the lead. The Defenders played (independently) seventeen games, losing one, their total points made being 386. Mgr. Sara Pollard, far forward, carried off the honors with 112 points, followed closely by Misses Richard, Claremont, and Dot Crelando, 42; Helen Mays, 40; Helen Steele, 23; F. Reimann, 11; V.

NEGRO LEAGUE SEASON OPENS NEXT SUNDAY Bacharachs and Lincolns in First Tilt at Oval CUBANSTARSFLY TO MAINLAND CUBANSTARSFLY TO MAINLAND Four Clubs of Negro League Ready to Start Action PHILADELPHIA—Four of the six American Negro League clubs swing into action on Saturday when the Cuban Stars plays the Black Sex in Baltimore and the Lincoln Giants meet Clan Darbie in suburban Philadelphia. On Sunday the Bacharach Giants travel from Alamein City to York where the Lincoln Giants open the season at Protectory Oval. On the following Saturday the Homestead Grays will have a belated opening with the Bacharach Giants as their solemn. Forty games are scheduled for each club during the first half, while the Buffalo Bills and Cubans have no home grounds as yet, the schedule will be slightly unbalanced. Five members of the Cuban Stars came to this country in an airplane from Santo Domingo and joined the main body of the team in Jacksonville. Mugger Pompey predicted that Oms will lead the league in batting this year. All of the Hildale players have reported exec Biz Mackey, who is supposed to be in Honolulu. President Bolden says that Mackey will be suspended without pay for as many days as he is absent. Ball players are going to obey league mandates this year—and how! It is expected that Cockrell, veteran member of the team, will be on the mound for Hildale who 5 comes from the University of Mitchell, recounted earlier, will be behind the bat. Britt, Jackson, Dhigo and Judy Johnson will guard the infield, with Dallard. Charleston and Holloway as the garden patrol. To oppose the Manager John Henry Lloyd will send Nip Winters, Connie Rector or Bill Holland to the mound with Gee or Scream as receiver. The infield shows Hudspeth, Senies, Yancey and Riggs. In the outfield are Gray, Smith and Namon Laymon Yokelly will hurl the opening for the Sox with either Cason or Clarke receiving. That "Million Dollar Infield" of Jud Wilson, Frank Warfield, Dick Lundy and Olle Marcelle will get its bantism of fire as a unit. Lurking in the shadow of the garden wall will be Jess Hubbard, Felix Washington and Rap Hancock. Warfield will on the firing line for the Cubans and his sweeping delivery will carry plenty of grief for the Sox if he is right. Of course, Fernandez will be at the other end of the battery. A new man, Correna, replaces Mellito at short for Pompez, but the familiar faces of Perez, Afonso and Osmos with Gee, Caro, Oms and Bejerano will mute the far reaches, with Bragaan in reserve. The popular Pedroso of other years is back with the Cubans as a catcher while a new infielder, Vargas, will help Melito support the inner works. He is added to the old pitching staff of Oscar, Juanello, San and Fabre. The battle front of the Barchacchis will be Jones and Eggleston, catchers; Farrell, Henderson, Gardner, Shields and McClure, pitcher; Taylor, first base; Day, second base; Bobby Williams, Jenkins, Thomas and White, outfield. Bobby Williams and Evans are the reserve infielders. The Homestead Grays lineup is still unsettled but the following men will start against the Bees on May Ewing, catcher; Donald, pitcher; Clinton, Cannady, Steven, Beckwh, infield; Graham, Harris, outfield.

Another Former Heavyweight Title Holder. . Sammy White Up Against Tough Opponent Friday Larry Maranueck, Troy welter, who battles Sammy White. local Brooklyn star, in a ten-rounder at the 106th Infantry armory Friday night, has compiled an enviable record. His recent feat of stopping Ail Schell, the German, in six rounds has put the up-State fighter among the topnotchers. White will have to be in the best shape of his career to withstand his opponents in administration. White is quite a hitter himself. Any scraper who can drop Tommy Grogan and Mushy Callahan is no light tapper. Willie (Cannonball) Garafola and Johnny Ciccarrelli who tangle in the other 10-round welterweight bout, put up one of the fiercest battles ever seen in a local ring. Garafola was awarded the decision, but most of the fans thought the East New York mauler had won. Jaskie Aldare and Roy McMahon will sock and block in a special eight-round fracas. HAMPTON WENT DOWN IN NINTH Seasiders Enjoyed Comfortable Lead Early in the Game HAMPTON INSTITUTE, April 15. The Seasiders made a heroic effort to down the North Carolina College, but tripped at the finish when war-riels caught on to Faust's strategy and the team's honors went to the N. C. boys 10-9. This was one stupendous battle, taken from any angle. In the eighth the Seasiders seemingly had carried the day with a comfortable lead. But they were war-riels retaliated with a similar demand in the second of the Seasiders in the first, and, to the utter astonishment of all the onlockers, they held the Hamptonians. Speaking of first basing, "Nute" Tallferro has made but one error in the season. One thing he does better than players in a slack sack is to sell "Zanol" toilet articles. Jesse Murry is the closest rival to V. S. Brown, Hampton's greatest third baseman. There hasn't been one here to equal V. S., as he was in the first of his baseball career. Murry, however, is making his baseball "rep" outlier. Johnson, the hurler for the N. C. College, was exceptionally gifted with a variety of fast drops and ins. Faust, Hampton's mainstay, gave the umple much trouble in watching his speedy underhand pitching. Daniels, the Scasiders' baby "second baseman, played ball like an oldtimer and showed good skill in getting them out of the dust. HAMPTON. N. C. COLLEGE Williams, s.s. Daniels, s.2 Stubbs, rf.

April 19.—The principal feature of the 1928 ratings of the American Tennis Association released for publication this week by J. Mercer Burrell, secretary, is the return to leadership in men's singles of Edgar G. Brown, three times national champion. The results are based on the official rating scale of the A. T. A. and the discretion of the Rating Committee, based on personal趣 of the players in action. E. G. Brown, the premier stylist of the A. T. A., who won the national singles title in 1922 and 1923, is rated No. 1. Brown earned this position by winning the 1928 nationals, in which he defeated a strong lineup of seeded players, including two former champions, Ted Thompson and Eryre Satch. His single defeat was suffered at the hands of Satch in the New York open, but this was more than neutralized by his winning the Nationals. Eryre Satch, the king of the cannonball service and the chop drive, retains his position. No. 2 defeated defeat during the season, at the hands of Rudlin in the finals of the Southeastern, and again when he lost to Brown in the semi-finals of the Nationals. Richard Rudlin had the greatest season of his career, having to his credit a win over Satch in the South Eastern, in addition to capturing the West Virginia open. He won 20. Downing in the finals of the Tidewater Open, and had the misfortune to encounter the new phenomenon, Graham from Ohio, in the quarter-finals of the Nationals. He was, true to his work, perfectly throughout the season, and he showcased improvement in control. Dr. E. D. Downing of Virginia has dropped from third to sixth position, downing defeated Rudlin in the Tidewater Open, but in turn was defeated in the semifinals of the South Eastern. He also lost one of the new stars in the Nationals, failed to reach the quarter-finals. Dr. Sylvester Smith has lost one place, appearing this year at No. 5. Sylvest won the Pennsylvania and also the New Jersey champions by Billion Davis before reaching the quarter-finals of the Nationalists. Lester B. Granger of New Jersey, newly elected vice-president of the A.T. A. put in a bid for the Pennsylvania Open, and the semi-finals in the New England Open. He also played in the Nationalists, and South Easterns, and was also a finalist in the New Jersey Open, his advance to the sixth place was one of the surprises of the season. “Ted” Thompson only competed in two tournaments and was unable to amass enough points to hold his high position of former years. “Ted” is number 8 is a newcomer and one who promises to be a future national champion. In his first year of competition, the California wizard, came East to the Nationalists and won his way into the chained circle of the First Ten. He created many top-notchers and gave Ted Thompson terrific battle in the Pacific Open. He also won the Pacific Open Sectional. Dr. John L. McGriff, the veteran president of the A. T. A., still holds his own in the First Ten, although he dropped to the second and Granger, who are the successors. Dr. McGriff's battle with Satch in the Quarter-Finals of the National's showed that he still had a list of tennis left after more than 10 years. George Hill, the hard serving New Jersey champion, makes his premier appearance in the First Ten. Hill curbed his wildness during the past season and won the New Jersey tournament, an event he finished finals at. Virginia Open. He also made a good showing in the National's and in the New York Open. Dr. Marcellus Goff, Dr. C. W. Furbrueck, Dr. M. E. DuBissette and 1927 First Ten, who for various reasons did not make the grade in 1928. Heading the Second Ten is Henry Williams of New Jersey, whose remarkable steadiness in all of the principal tournaments of the year has earned him a top rank, running up a high total of points. H. A. Kean of Kentucky has made a jump from No. 24 to No. 13 in the current rating. Dawkins of Philadelphia, at No. 14, is an entirely new player. C. Dawning of Virginia holds his same position at No. 15, while Dr. C. W. Fulence. J. W. Anderson and Dr. M. E. Drissette, all former members of the National team, at No. 16, No. 17 respectively. Allison Davis is an old-timer who first took the game seriously last year, and made such a record in the Nationals that he is rated at No. 18. Dr. Bomian of New York has made his national rating, Graham, of Ohio, one of the season's sensations, only played in the Nationals, and was rated in the Second Ten, although it is predicted that he will be a possible champion for championships next year. The Third Ten is composed entirely of veteran players, all of whom, with the exception of Copeland at No. 22, attend at No. 25, have been familiar with national ratings for several years. A number of prominent players, including Harvey Butler, Johnny Wilson, Tally Holmes, Trottman Crawford, Logan McWilson, James Gayle and A H Harper, are missing from the National ratings for 1928. WOMEN'S SINGLES. In the three times champion, Miss Lulu Ballard of Philadelphia, again heads the First Ten of Women, having won the Nationals and the South Centers, and lost to her colleague Miss Jessica Hines in the finals of the Pennsylvania and New York tournaments, and to the new sensation, Mrs. Gittens, in the New England, Miss Washington holds down No. 2, with only a shade of difference between her record and that of the champion. Miss Washington competed in five major tournaments, but appeared to be off form in the National. Miss Eunice Brown competed in three championships, but he was not crowned. Brown has gained one pole over her previous rating. Channels only competed in the women's singles. of the A. T. A., who won the national No. 1. Brown earned this position by the defeated a strong lineup of seededplions, Ted Thompson and Eryre Salch, the hands of Salch in the New Yorkized by his winning the Nationals. nonball service and the chop drive,retasted defeat twice during the season,finals of the Southeasterns, and againfinals of the Nationals. J. Mercer Burrell PETER H. Secretary of the American Tennis Association, Whose Personal Interest in the Game Has Meant Much to Tennis in the East. is rated No. 4. She was No. 2 in 1927. Miss Emma Leonard, of New York, competed in four major tournaments with great credit, defeating may of the First Ten women. She has admirable training, changing places with her well known New York rival, Mrs. Lottie B. Wade. Miss Annie Roberts of Virginia has won the First Ten women. She has admirable training, changing places with her well known New York has again enriched an improved rating. Mrs. Bertha Sadler won the New Jersey Open, and competed creditably in several other tournaments of New York. She has won the First Ten Mrs. Sadler was No. 14 in 1927. Miss Anita Gant, the hard-hitting Washington girl, has dropped from No. 8 to No. 10. Miss Elena Mircellucci, Dr. Mary J. Watkins, Mrs. Alberta Blackwell and Mrs. Susie Madison are the only members of the Second Ten for 1927 who have made the grade this year. Reginald Wier of New York, who won the junior title in the Nationals, is rated at No. 1. Reggie has developed a perfectly rounded driving game, and he has been the best of the youngsters. Alfred Walker, the diminutive Baltimore wizard of the racket, is rated at No. 2 on reaching the finals in the Nationals. Herman Marrow has advanced from No. 8 to No. 10. North Carolina has changed places with his brother Frank at No. 4. Gerald Norman, Jr., of New York, has advanced three places to No. 6. Eddie Carroll, Bennett. Ashby and Frye, who have received their first national rating this year. WHITE FOULED "CANNONBALL" South Brooklyn Scrapper Was Carrying Fight to Opponent as End Came Willie "Cannonball" Garafola climbed another rung in his quest for the vacant National Guard welterweight lest night by being in the gym when the scheduled ten-non feature bout with Sammy White. South Brooklyn colored scrapper, at the Twenty-seventh Division Team, Army. The fight was called after one minute of the fifth round had elapsed. Up to the time that the fatal blow was wounding in pain from a low-directed right, the battle offered all that could be desired in the way of excitement. Both men fought with all that they assumed the offensive. Another bout resulted in a foul, when Sid Relsler, 125-pound Harlem battler, was awarded the verdict in a scheduled eight-round fight with Jacinto Valdes, Cuban featherweight, two minutes and 45 seconds after the opening of the second frame. Up to the time of the finish the battle had progressed with much interest, both men resorting to had tactics to win. The only eight-round affair, between Johnny Pena and Rocco Napoll, went to the former on a decision. Pena outclassed the South Brooklyn boy right from the start, hammering him with hard rights and left to the body and head. Frank Schlieper put Rudy Kirsch to sleep in thirty seconds of the first round. ROYAL GIANTS DROP OPENER TO PARKWAYS Ratings of Tennis Association Out This Week --- NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 24. 1929 ROYALS LOSE TO BAY PARKWAYS Game Called in Fifth When Steady Downpour Spoils Contest The Bay Parkways hammered two pitchers hard, to defend the Brooklyn Royal Giants, 6 to 5, at Erasmus Field Sunday. The final two innings were played in a steady downpour and in the second half of the fifth Umpire Golden called the game. Herb Steen, Parkway twiler, turned in a fine performance. He allowed four hits, including two doubles in the first inning. Aft : the disastrous first. Steen steadied and held the Rangers back. The Rangers, playing their first game since returning from their barnstorming tour through the South, scored three runs in the first inning. Seay drove the ball deep into center field with another double. Seay scoring. Page singled to right and Brown tailed the second run.

WRIGHT Cuban Substituted for Peyrede and Drew a Heavy Beating **Beating** Walter Peters, of Germany, employs Johnny Risko's ring tactics, bounded his way to a 10-round decision over Howard Wright, of Cuba. Bounded by Howard Wright, he field last Wednesday night. Wright, who substituted for Eddie Peyce, stood up under Peter's avalanche of blows bravely, but to no avail. He supported his opponent with short rights and left without taking any punishment himself. Only in the sixth round did Wright break loose and wallop Peters. Bounded by Richard in the second final eight-round bout. From the start both Moszczow and Baker went at each other furiously and continued only with occasional ledowns in final bell. Each weighed 163 pounds. Sam Flippo, 140, who substituted for Johnny Taylor, staged a valiant up-take to win an eight-round decision in Carson Cangge, 138, of East New York. In the first six-round encounter, Young Zazzi, 30, of Huntington, outlasted Zazzi took the lead in the opening round and held it without any great difficulty. Diaz, 18, Porto Rico, and Edward Emos, 11, Brooklyn, battled to a draw in a six-round bout. The only knockout in the regular season was Zazzi, 186, of New York sent Walt Sells, 190, sprawling in 1:15 of the opening four-round encounter. In an Army elimination bout, Private Anderson of Private Anderson of Michel Field in 1:20 of the first foul of 147-pound class.

Batting 'Em Out With Lloyd's Crack Lincoln Giants at Protectory Oval Batting 'Em Out With Lloyd's Crack Lincoln Giants at Protectory Oval AN event of great interest to the baseball fans of New York will be the opening of the Negro American League season at Protectory Oval next Sunday, When Ben Taylor leads the Bacharach Giants of Atlantic City out on the green sward at the home grounds of the only team in the big city that is a member of the new league—The Lincoln Giants. Ben is coming with a coterie of ball players that are capable of giving all the other teams in the league a mean tussie for the championship of 1929. He is bringing the heavy hitting George Carr, who has given patrons of the Oval many a thrill by his home run clouting; Chaney White, another hard hitter and one of the fastest men in the game; Amby Readle, one of the greatest players on the diamond; Luther Farrell, gently and handsome pitcher and fielder and hard hitter. In addition to these stars, Ben has bought and secured by trades some of the best players who were with him when he was handling the Baltimore Black Sox. The old New Jersey Spa is considerably hit up over the prospects of the Bacharachs to cop the pennant and a gang of rooters will accompany the Bachs here next Sunday to make much whoopee and spur them on to victory. We expect to see our old friend and skierck, Clarence Williams, the original Cuban Giant catcher, in the crowd from Jersey. Clarence is and has been for several years a citizen of influence in Atlantic City and has been a regular player for the Giants, who shares the reputation of being the greatest colored catcher of all time. Williams, will try to get a day off from the Pullman service of the Chengo Limited and view the opening game at the Oval. The Bacharachs, no doubt, will receive a grand reception from: the thousands who will be on hand, weather permitting, to witness this contest and to give the Lincoln Giants a hearty send-off in their initial struggle for the championship. And don't think for a minute that the Lincoln Giants will not be up around one, two when time comes to sum the averages for official standings of the Negro American League teams. Indeed, if the same morale is maintained throughout the season as has been prevailing during the training period, there will be a big surprise handed to the erstwhile critics, who have been delving in days some by for use of implications reflecting upon the possibility of some of the Lincoln Giants to condition themselves. Am in position to state, positively, that right now every player on the Lincoln Giants is going into the championship race with a determination to render his best services to make the Lincoln Giants a winner. Owner Keenan is well satisfied with the way players have been conducting themselves so far. He is looking forward to a most successful season. He has made some alterations in the main stand and has put on one or two extra ground keepers in the persons of boys from Harlem. Mr. Keenan is making Protectory Oval an ideal place for baseball fans to witness a ball game. Manager John Honus Lloyd is not doing much talking for publication, but he keeps his eyes open and works as hard as his players. Lloyd may be called at any time to fill a gap in injury or weakness of the part of any of his players. Regardless of time or place, the manager will be found fit and capable of filling any position the occasion requires. It is a little early for a positive prediction, but we will wait until next Sunday and then we will see what we will see. We know the game will be enlisted considerably by the presence of Catcher Rojo, who arrived from Cuba last week. If Higgins, third sacker, continues his good work, the fans will forget about Oliver Marcelle. George Scales, who inclines to pudginess in the off-season, is a little overweight at present, but he is working hard to reduce. It takes hot weather to bring George to his proper form. Washington and Gray, left and center fielders of the Lincoln, are fast men and good bunters and they can go some in the field. Along with the hard hitting and carnest working Charley Smith they compose a formidable outfield. Young Yancey is beginning to play like an experienced ball tosser. He gets what he goes after and throws them when he gets them. He has shown quite an improvement during presseason games. Hudspeth, the physical marvel first baseman of the Lincoln, could be a real sensation in that position if he knew himself. Practice makes perfect. Many a ball player has overcome a weakness in hitting and fielding by a little hard practice. Hey High Pocket? The catching department will be well taken care of by Spearman. Goes and Rojo. They have hailed every man who has tried to steal a base and their receiving has been great. Holland. Rector, Winters, Campbell and the youngster, Thomas, seem to be in pretty good shape, and all express willingness to go on the mound against the Bacharach Giants next Sunday. It certainly warm the cookies of an old-timer's heart to hear expressions of confidence and determination coming from the lips of all members of a team of the present day. The Lincoln, we believe, will make good. To get to Protectory Oval next Sunday, where the Lincoln Giants meet the Bacharach Giants in a double header, take the 180th street and Bronx Park subway train to 177th street, walk or take Tremont avenue surface car direct to gate of ball park.

The 13th court of the Ideal Tennis Clubs, and the four courts of the E. and S. grounds, at 141st street and Fifth avenue, will be ready on or about April 27. WITH the election of new officers, the New York Tennis Association is apparently taking on a new lease of life that predicts a progressive on for local tennis. This spirit and co-operation that is being given by the rank and file of players and fans in the coming dance of the New York Tennis Association the Saturday of April 17, at the suites of the Avenida Tennis Club. HERETOFORE one of the things that have kept back progress in the New York Tennis Association has been the work of a special organization by tennis players, a condition that handicapped the officers of the organization, and one of the first things to be done in the organization is the instilling of a spirit of mutual interest and oneness between the executives and the playing masses. THERE is a good deal of work to be done, the success of which will go a long way in establishing tennis on a firmer basis than it has been on for many years. If you fail to do the tennis players themselves will buckle down and do their blit. They must realize that, through their contribution (a new denot, and a new emphasis on the administration in tennis activities, they themselves will be the recipients of the advantages gained by this new organization by their interest themselves in the various activities of the game, but they should make it their duty to propagate its interests, and those who do not play the game, but whose support would be helpful. MOTHERS and fathers should be made acquainted with moral and healthful benefits of the game, so that they may allow their sons and daughters to play it as a means of building up a healthy body, a most necessary factor to a healthy mind and sterling character.

Jess McMahon, pomoter of the New York Coliseum, announced he has completed negotiations for a bout here on May 21 between Pidel La Barba, former world's lightweight champion, of the Kobe Lakers' sensation. The winner probably will be accepted as the bantamweight champion of the world.

Was Once Locked In Trinity Church More than three hundred and fifty musical folk were in St. James' Presbyterian Church on Monday evening, April 15, at which time a testimonial dinner was given in honor of Dr. Charlton, who was G.O., by the officers and members of St. James'. Dr. Charlton is cholmaster and organist. Dr. Harry T. Burleigh was master of ceremonies and a program was rendered by the best artists in the program. Dr. Charlton, who bears the distinction of being the foremost organist in his race and one of the finest organists in America, was born in New York City. His first teacher was Dr. Charlton, whom Dr. Charlton always gives abounding praises for his correct fundamentals in music. At an early age he showed a profound ambition for the mastery of the organ. His mother tells on occasion how he came into Trinity Church to listen to the organist play. He became so enraptured over his playing that the sexton forgot his being there and locked him in while his family, who was hewn a search for him. He tells in his autobiography that he was always a serious student, a continua ploder, an earnest reader of literature, and an earnest follower of the great masters of the art. He won a scholarship in Music in a college and went through the National Conservatory of Music with high honors. He accepted work in the Jewish Temple in Philadelphia. The National Seminary and has held the position for eighteen years. Dr. Charlton has taught many of the best musicians in America today, is still actively engaged in teaching. He has coached and accompanied some of our best singers and points of interest, such as Mitchell, who has taught for more than twenty years. Miss Mitchell is acclaimed as being among the best interpreters of song that the race has faced and in a large measure her success is due to the ability of Dr. Charlton. G. Luckeyth Roberts, a musician of national reputation, says: "I owe my success to Dr. Charlton, who made In 1924 Howard University conferred upon Dr. Charlton the honorary degree of Mus. D. The University of Michigan conferred upon Dr. Harry T. Burleigh, Nathaniel Dett and Melville Charlton. Dr. Charlton was the first Negro to be admitted to the A. C. University through the complete course lectures through the extension course of Columbia University offered annually to students of music. Too much praise cannot be given to Dr. Charlton and members of St. James' Presbyterian Church for such a testimonial as that given to Dr. Charlton. It shall serve as an inspiration for all other Christian and missionary students. Best talent is engaged for the upbuilding of humanity. Dr. Harry T. Burleigh was a delight to present as master counsel. As a friend and master of Dr. Charlton's, and a promoter and supporter of art, he seemed to have caught the spirit of the occasion, into it with the joy and realism which thrilled and gripped the audience.

Virgin Island Folk Fete Author Former Brooklyn and Long Island Resident on Tour of Islands (By ADOLPH GEREAU). St. Thomas, L. I., U. S. A. Special to The Amsterdam News Unveys the story of Eric D. Walrond, noted author and former resident of Brooklyn and Long Island, arrived in Saint Thomas from Haiti and Santo Domingo, on his tour of the West Indian Islands. In his book, he granted him by the Guggeheim Foundation for research work in these islands. Had it been known that this writer would arrive here, he committee and an elaborate reception would have been given him as he is thought highly of by a large number of Virgin Islanders, who have been following his achievements, and truly through his book, "Tropic death." It was not long, however, after his arrival that Bandmaster Alton Lamont, N.C., got in touch with him, and after ascertaining that he would be here for the short period of four days, circulated the news that he had been invited to speak to a people of princemance in Saint Thomas at once grew eager to see him. In order to give them an opportunity Messrs. Adams and Lancelos arranged for him to be entered at Hotel where on the night of April 1 a number of the leading citizens gathered. Escorted by Mr. Adams, he entered the hotel, the guests were seated, and was introduced to them. After the introduction Mr. Adams, who reviewed the literary achievements of Mr. Walrond, gestured him to address the gathering. Mr. Walrond had hardly begun when the difference between him and the frequently painted picture of Negroes in the cinema disappeared. Here was a modest colored young man, a perfect gentleman, refined and cultured, not the bombast of the old man, who describes the colored person as, Mr. Walrond was an inspiration to those gathered, and it was at once regretful that he never frequently come in contact with the people here who claim a superlity over the colored people in America, based principally on what is gathered in the刊载 appearing in certain newspapers. For an hour Mr. Walrond kept up his interesting discourse. He told of the colored people in being United States along intellectual lines and of the recognition of their achievements by the entire people. He eulogized such people and called them "the Antoine Overton, Countie Cullen and Langston Hughes, and told of their literary career. He also exhorted them to have to visit the oral Foundation is, and how it is assisting the colored people in their upward strides. He concluded by having them to have been able to visit St. Thomas so pleasant and hospitable people. As is already well known, the average Virgin Islander is a high type of apprehended contact with men of Mr. Marsh, and it is to be regretted that more of them do not avail themselves of the opportunity to visit the islands and enjoy some of the unexcelled hospitality of the unexcellent to shower on them, at the same time, the advantage of the climate, bathing beaches and recreation that the islands have to offer, being mindful of the fact that a vacation in the Virginias would be the fraction of what it would cost anywhere in continental United States.

POST Chairman, Board of Trustees Says School Teachers Would Gain More by Organizing The lack of organization among the Negro public school teachers in Birmingham and the methods of some of the Brooklyn teachers were scored by the Rev James B. Adams, pastor of Concord Baptist Church, during the course of his talk at the Sunday evening. Dr. Adams stressed that the school teachers have no organization with which to fight difficult situations with which they are concerned. If they were properly organized, he stated, they would have contact with the proper political and other policies and could use them instead of the teacher when they want something done. He stated further that the height of the ambition of some of the teachers would become the chief prize-winner at birmingham and of giving time to organization which would be of more help to them. In regards to some of the Negro teachers he stated that they are too busy cutting throats to see that spreading the colored people all-over the city in houses they can hardly afford to buy power in citizenship and social life. Dr. Adams also asserted that if the Brooklyn Negroes could see a little further in the future they would con- fer with the African social and religious activities. This would have a tendency to aid Negro business enterprises and would aid the Negro from an economi- cal perspective, a pastor said. This was done because the Negroes in Harlem who have political and other influences because of being centralized would not have the laugh on Brooklyn Negroes, and we would be able to understand the influence along all lines, the minister con- cluded.

Roland Hayes in Third Recital Here This wonderful personage, Roland Hayes, stands as an artist of world- wide popularity, lauded and respected above all other singing artists of his race. He is the possessor of an inescperable voice of uncommon tim- ber, and his singing is enriched in its warmth and tenderness through the soul of a beautiful soul. Asian Mr. Hayes' art commanded a representative mixed audience which called every available space of Carnegie Hall on Sunday evening. Because this was the closing concert of the season, the celebrated tenor arranged an intensely interesting program, which took care of every individual taste. In his first group Mr. Hayes gave some singularly beautiful readings to notable airs of the Italian and German music, but withal we felt an entrainment and strain in the delivery of top notes, which hindered Mr. Hayes' interpretation of the "Per in Gloria." Aside from this defect, comboissure of bel canto singing had ample opportunity to appreciate Mr. Hayes for his wonderful mezzo voice and solo voice work, which he employed to give the right imaginative color to each type of composition. In the contrasted German lieders of Schubert, Schumann and Brahms, just as in the preceding works, the music is extremely rich and, with perfect breath control and mastery of tone color, Superb action intensified the value of each PROGRESSIVE SCHOOL OF MUSIC PIANO, VOICE CULTURE THEORY and HARMONY Immaculately presented course of 50 minutes of sure play or no play.

The recital will be for the benefit of the Frederick Douglass chapter of the John Brown Memorial Association. song. Mr. Hayes, in his efforts to express his version of the text and music of the German art song, showed evidences of an apparent nerve tension as his whole being vibrated with the emotional grandeur of the composition. In his closing group of spirituals Mr. Hayes was admired as that samarist artist of great 'sensibility' who missed the soul stirring, character- to server of the spirituals as sung by Paul Robeson. Mr. Hayes' arrangement of "Camp Mettin'" and "I Want Two Wings" were the only numbers best suited to the culture of the artist. As in former seasons, Mr. Hayes infused a delicate passion into everything he sang, always guided by his utmost refined skill and unerring artistic sense. In his vocal proportions and shadings from a pianissimo to a mezzo forte, along with his most noble interpretations, Mr. Hayes has been placed on a pinnacle with such celebrities as Mary Garden, Challapin, Werrenrath and John McCormack. Let us not forget that Percival Purham shared honors with Mr. Hayes for his superlative accompaniments. The Paimer Memorial Institute, located at Salem, N.

"Show Boat" Mrs. Brown conceived the idea of taking students on a concert tour over the country in order to obtain sufficient funds to enable the school to further its work. Concrete evidences of the constructive work which is being done at Palmer Institute was exemplified by ensemble singing of fourteen students which, in a large measure, was musically noteworthy. Other evidences of the work was shown in another direction—folk dancing, based on plantation life. We found no connection between the Valse of Chopin in C Sharp Minor as played by Jonathan Brice to that of the music of the American Negro; therefore, the writer would suggest that the music as Dahl's "Juba Dance," with its native rhythmic vitality. Such would have more harmoniously blended and been in keeping with the desired atmosphere. The group was supported by additional solos by members of the faculty. Miss Amy Bally, soprano, and Rudolph Gaston Scott, tenor, sang to the satisfaction of the audience.

THE old saying, "every child costs a tooth," would become as obsolete if saying, "tuberculosis is incurable," would only take the proper precautions. During the period of expectancy there is a psychological change that takes place in the body. The condition of pathological condition in which softening of the bones takes place. This physiological change is brought about by a withdrawal of a certain amount of saline from the skin and allied structures. The purpose of this is to allow the expansion of the pelvic girdle (the ring formed by the hip bones so as to permit the passage of the pelvic bone). Unfortunately, the teeth, containing an even greater amount of calcium than the bones, suffer a greater calcium calcium stress, the result is that during this period the bone comes softer and are more prone to decay than under normal conditions. Also the supporting structures, the jaw bones are weakened, resulting in the jaw being more susceptible to looseness by porphyrum, etc., falling out. All of this is usually accentuated by a decline in oral hygiene, caused by the physical condition which accompanies the physical condition of the expectant mother. The professional advice is simply to see your dentist before and after confinement. He will give a thorax examination and a chest X-ray, ever treatment is necessary. Also special attention should be placed on the oral hygiene during this period. Civil Service Notes BY I. NEWTON BRATHWAITE.

BestAmusementPages in Greater New York TWELVE Schiffman Leads Amusement World Schiffman Leads Amusement World Control of Five Harlem Theatres Gives Brecher Interests Full Play The Amsterdam News, as in the past, will be the first with the announcement of another big move in the world of the theatres as they concern the amusement-loving people of Harlem. Negotiations were completed the other day which bring the other form of the company of Frank Schiffman of the Lafayette and Lincoln Theatres three other houses in this community. Some years ago Schiffman came to this section of the city controlling the Roosevelt and Douglas Theatres, and carefully observing the conditions, he decided to take a flyer at the Lafayette Theatre, which he bought for $1,000, then known as "the white elephant" into a paying proposition. Recently Mr. Schiffman took over the Lincoln Theatre, which was built and managed by Mrs. Maria C. Downs and as a final climax to his play, he invited the last week he returned to the scenes of his early activities when he again took control of the Odeon, Roosevelt and Douglas Theatres, making complete the chain of five theatres, which places him at the top of the amusu- tations and among the magnates furnishing this line of entertainment to Negroes. It is of more far-reaching magnitude than the average person in this part of the Greater City can recognize, this stepping out at the head of the moment world by the energies young man representing with so much success the Leo Brecher interests here, for the erection of new theatres in white communities by the same people as the barring on the Negro theatrical world. Within the next few years there is hardly a Negro performer of whatever magnitude who will not have to seek Frank Schiffman and his firm holds should guide those who must seek the amusement world for their livelihood. Revue and Talkie Score Big at the Lafayette S. H. Dudley Jr.'s latest musical comedy review, "Figly Feet," Vincent Lopez and his band, and Elsie Janis, on the Vithphone, and the talking underworld melodrama, "Caught in the Fog," share honors on a wonderful program which opened a week's engagement at the Lafayette Theatre on Monday. This program gave to the patrons of the popular Seventh avenue playhouse three hours of side-splitting comedy, wonderful music and dances and bumbling banter. The musical revue, which is entitled "Figly Feet," is the latest creation of S. H. Dudley Jr., son of the famous S. H. Dudley, and one of the finest of the younger producers of colored revues. Dudley has gathered together an exceptionally splendid cast for this revue. This cast includes Dewey Brown and his new partner, Kay Crippen, Sidney Easton, Bert Howell, George Cooper, John La Rue, Lily Yuen, Alma Travers, and Babs Babine, with Peter 2:20, when the show starts until 0'clock, when at last the audience permitted it to close. "Figly Feet" furnished a rapid succession of fun, fast dancing and sweet music. The musical accompaniment was furnished by Den David and his Jazz Synopatons. An unusually enjoyable part of the program were the Vitaphone numbers rendered by Lopez and his band and Eilee Janis, the Vitaphone numbers rendered and Keith vaudeville headliner. Every number of the band, as well as those rendered by Miss Janis, were received enthusiastically. The feature for the week is "Caught in the Fog," a Vitaphone talking melodrama, featuring Conrad Nagel and May McAoy. The action of this underworld melodrama is laid on a house boat. The talking sequences are unusually effective and the audience enjoyed the picture as much as it did "The Terror," "State Street Sadie" and "on Emil Jannings at the New Douglas This Week One of the most notable acts ever assembled in a motion picture will be seen supporting Emil Jannings in his new film production, "Sins of the Fathers," which will be shown at the New Douglas Theatre this coming Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

The supporting cast includes Ruth Chatterton, in well-known stage star, who steals Jannings away from his wife, who role is portrayed by Zasu Pitts. Matthew Hetz is the "menace" in the story. Jenna Arthur acts as Jannings' daughter, with Darry Norton, who will be remembered as "manna's boy" of "What Price Glory." On a great cast and a great story combine to make "Sins of the Fathers" a film well worth seeing. "Chocolate Music Box" at The Lincoln Next Week Announcement is made by Quintard Miller and Marcus Sinter that they are hard at work adding the finishing touches to the "Chocolate Music Box," which will be presented at the Lincoln Theatre next week. Originally scheduled for performance at the Lafayette Theatre during the late part of the month, the show looked so good in rehearsal that the management decided to bring it into the Lincoln for an earlier presentation. Most of the cast of the "Chocolate Music Box" have not appeared at the Lincoln Theatre for several years, and the producers are happy to return in a sure hit. The cast of the "Chocolate Music Box" includes Anson Davls, Doris Rheubottom, Emma Hawkins, Jackle Young, Montana Brooks, Josephine Bird, Marcus Slayer andarner and Gill, together with a stunning feature picture for the week will be "The Whip," a stirring drama of the race-track, featuring Dorotis, Mackail and Anna N.

Douglas MacLean receives fine support from two additional stars in the cast, Francis Lee andaine Kidd. Douglas Fairhanks, in his role of a talking production, "The Iron Mask," comes to this theater Saturday, May 4.

Miss Smith has always been a favorite at the Lincoln, but her new songs and her new company were received by the audience with more appreciation than ever before. From the opening curtain to the grand finale it was laughter and applause, applause and laughter. While Dessie Smith is, of course, the star of the show, her her company presented an unusually fast and funny entertainment. Among those soared are Derring and Phillips, "backhack" "hooked Swan," John Lee, Lord Hollis, Baby Lee and Beulah Benbow. The chorus also came in for a generous share of aplause with their wonderful rendition of "hot" numbers. The feature photoplay for the week was also enjoyed immensely.

DUDLEY, JR., PRESENTS THE NEW REVUE SENSATION WITH CONRAD NAGEL AND MAX McAVOX ODEON THEATRE 145th Street, Between 7th and 8th Aves. Efficient MANY people have voted the colored revue at the Elfinga Theatre, Low Leslie's "Blackbirds," their favorite theatrical divertissement in New York, and many of them are repeaters in so voting. They are perhaps largely motivated in their attitude by the fact that this seditilizing Negro extravaganza has nowhere a ledown in its entertainment quality. To state that there are no dull moments in "Blackbirds" may sound obvious, but it is not gratuitous, for the production has been consistent with an offering that registers with a kick all its life. Indeed, it is the ballet of Low Leslie, the producer, that his offering is 100 per cent efficient as entertainment. "There are no questionably popular members in 'Blackbirds, I am happy to say,' declares Leslie; "but, rather, it is a question with most people which thing in it they like best. I would explain this by pointing out that the show is so entertaining that it is as an emotional stimulant and tonic. For one, it is as varied as it can be; for another, its individual units are each, I trust, as good as they can. The singing is the richest, most mono-ous and ingratiatingly melodious that could be developed; the dancing is the most intricate and most enthusiastic of all, and the comedy is the gayest, simplest and healthiest that could be devised." "The talent, I think all will agree, is practically peerless, from Bill Robinson down to the youngest chorus member. As for beauty, the production, I honestly feel, is drenched with it, in idea, in spirit and in outward form. The youngest chorus is no exaggeration of my blackbirds, and above and above all, it seems to me the performers themselves are 100 per cent in earnest in their merrymaking. Thus the production travels under its own power and with a never diminishing momentum. These are some of the reasons why the 'Blackbirds' have proved so irresistible." The colored show is now well past its 45th performance and has a success in running a company. It is one of the most attractive, from a box-office standpoint, that has ever appeared on Broadway. Diton and "Blackbirds" Stars Entertain at Vets.' Hospital Tim and Gertie Moore of Lew Leslie's Broadway "Blackbirds," together with Carl Dilton, pianist and music teacher, were the headliners at the weekly benefit performance at U. S.

Edited by Romeo L. Dougherty Southern Orchestras to Engage in 'Battle of Jazz' The Savoy Ballroom on Wednesday night, May 8, is again about to do the unusual and is leading the way for the first intersectional battle of jazz music ever held between the George Gershwin and John Coltrane, six of the country's leading orchestras will vie for musical honors. For this "Battle of Jazz" the Savoy, at a tremendous cost, is bringing to this city three of the South's best orchestras. Ike Dixon from Baldwin and Johnny's app for Pat Perri from Rochester, Va. These two orchestras, in conjunction with the Missourians, acknowledged sensations, will defend the southern laurels, and if advance information means anything they are coming well prepared for this battle, and are ready to take the claim that they are the better orchestras. The North, however, is ready for this southern invasion and has lined up three of this city's best orchestras for the defense and feels confident that they will both outplay and outstomp the boys from the South. Flush Orchestra, Charlie Johnson and his Small's Paradise Orchestra, and Duke Ellington and his Cotton Club Orchestra are ready to do or die in the defense of their city, and have their musical bars in readiness with which to smile. All in all, Wednesday night. May 8, will be the evening of exceptional entertainment for all music lovers and everybody is anxiously awaiting this glorious "Battle of Jaz" between the South and the North.

A wild rumor hit Harlem last week that Tim Moore was withdrawing from the show, but an investigation disclosed that he differed from the comedian and the producer were adjusted satisfactorily and Moore is again holding his old spot with the New York company. It is said that within the next few days the name of Mantan Moreland will be among the featured members of the cast. Moreland having worked his way up by the good comedy which he has been dishing up in the show. Many changes have been made in the company line-up during turn of the century Broadway, some of the people being changed from the New York company to the road show. It is said that Leslie has had the best of reasons for making the chances among those supposed to be the lesser lights of the show, but one chance has been made that has already aroused a great deal of content and that is the sending of Johnnie Hudgins to the No. 2 company, which opened at Ford's Theatre in Baltimore this week. Hudgins of Elkton was to regular that night so that he would have a little time to spend among his old friends in Baltimore, having lived in that city for many years. Those trying to furnish reasons for the placing of Hudgins in the No. 2 company have suggested that Leslie is making the move with an eye to strengthening his second show, as he has plans for the company to sail for Europe some time in May or early in June. It is said that Hudgins can imagine a yearly agreement, which it is alleged Leslie tried to give him when the "silent man" first joined the company after his return from abroad last September. Whether Johnny will return with the company instead of again going back to Europe "on his own" is food for speculation, as he had nothing to say when seen and questioned about the new turn of things down at the Eltinge. The success of Hudgins after he left the company which he went to Europe in and which was headed by late Professor Kills nature to send his stout dogrocketing and it was not long after he returned to the United States that many producers were angling for him. It is said that the Keith offices are making an attempt to add Hudkins to the list of Negro performers now going out on the circuit, but so far Johnny has been satisfied to sail under the Leslie banner. During the run of the No. 2 company in Philadelphia there were many rumors out that Leslie either planned to close the show for good or to make drastic changes that would leave of those who started out with the company out in the new plans. Nothing like this has materialized so far, but the wisecases are predicting that many of the present company will be left in the good old U. S. A. If the show ever heads for Europe.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 24. 1929 Theatres and Performers Big and Little Bledsoe Oversomes Obstacles Add the name of Jules Bledsoe to the colored immortals of the stage. Within the next fortnight the mighty spectacle, "Show Bont," closes after a sensational run of over two years on Broadway, establishing a record for a musical production, and with it it sends the sensational success of a colored stage who has known the trials and success of this Ziegfeld production was due to the dynamic Bledsoe, who put more into his role of Joe and the song "Ol Man River" than the rest of the cast in their parts. Evidence of this exists even at this late stage of the show, for it is Bledsoe who receives the prolonged applause during the performance. After various struggles with the producers of "The Emperor Jones," both downtown and untown in a colored theatre, Bledsoe had reached the state where he believed the whole of the colored world was against him. It was this writer's privilege to see and hear Bledsoe portray the role of the Emperor Jones at the Lincoln Theatre in Harlem. Despite Bledsoe's wonderful efforts, the production ended disastrously with the widow of the late 20th century stage after the second performance Monday night. This was no fault of the stars, but it did a great deal to influence his opinion of his own people. Shortly after the noted singer was cast in the leading colored role in "Show Bont" and his fame was instantaneous. Overnight Bledsoe leaped into the spotlight and has remained there ever since. Today no amount of money can buy him for the insults, slurs and misreatment he received at the hands of his own people. Bledsoe is appearing in concert work on Sundays, also private recitals, where his services are in great demand. Not only is he a success in the show world, but this is the first time in the history of the theatre that a colored star is appearing in the "flesh and blood" and on the screen at the same time in the same role. For on April 17 the movie "Show Bout" opened with a "grain premier" at the Globe Theatre. This crowns Bledsoe's efforts and places him in the first rank of world famous stars. "Harlem" Often Turned Down The authors and producers of "Harlem" declare their show the most successful of the play play on Broadway. As for back in 1927 the producers saw possibilities in the script, but one of the co-producers was called to Europe, and during his absence the show was staged. On his return he did not like the show and ordered it rewritten. Later he got out of it. Under the name of "Black Belt" the show was offered to Jed Harris, the Theatre Guild, Lee Shubert, Horace Liveright, Jones and Green, Herman Shumlin, Carl Reed, Hamilton MacFadden, Bailley, Moore Weber, Alexander McKaile, Brook Conbernion (who later produced "Goin' Home"), but not one wanted to take a chance. Last November Chester Erskin, a young play reader and vaudeville writer, told C. A. Leonard, a publicity man, there might be something in the play, Leonard interested Edward A. Blatt in the production. The show was staged as originally written, and now is growing on as selling like $12,000 weekly at George White's Apollo Theatre on West Forty-second street, with a second company going strong on the road, and the possibility of a third company for overseas. **Actors' Conduct Improving** LOS ANGELES, Cal. — With the advent of all-colored talkshes, when Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer, Fox and Christie studios, as well as Lasky's, all quite busy entertaining them, besides making the Hutch fans sit up and take notice while he plays the piano "so different" nightly with the London Pavilion Orchestra in C. B. Cochran's new revue, "Wake up and Dream." Mrs. Maurine M. Browning and daughter Haroldine Leota, will sail on the S. S. Herengarain May 4 for New York American America, visiting New York Chicago, Zenil, Ohio; Indianapolis, Denver, Colo. and Los Angeles, Calif. Little Miss Haroldine is indeed quite excited these days over her contemplated trip to America and is looking forward to seeing many of her mother's and father's friends during their stay there. Paul Robeson, accompanied by Mrs. Robeson and his pianist, Lawrence Brown, left a few days ago for Vienna, Prague and Berlin, where Mr. Robeson will appear in concert. He returns to London afterwards to appear at Albert Hall, Sunday afternoon, April 25. He is wonderfully advertised for his first concert at the big and popular Albert Hall. Marino Barroto and Norris Smith, the "London Showabout Boys," have returned to town after playing D. J. Clarke's Argyle Birkenhead last week; they are booked for three weeks on the Stoll tour in London. Scott and Whaley, England's favorite American comedians, are making an extensive tour of the provinces with their new and successful revue, "Business Is Business." After a brief stay at the Alhambra, Leicester Square, T. Elder Herrn's "Excerpts From Blackbirds" featuring the popular comedian, Eddie Hunter, Johnny and Anders, are this week back with the Blackbirds Revue" at the Wood Green Empire. The Manchester papers speak in fine terms about the work of Jimmy Hamilton, the dancer, who is appearing at the big Palace Theatre with Clayton and Waller's road company," Virginia," this week and next. Len Johnson, the popular Negro boxer, scored another clean cut victory over Gerrard Debarbleux (Belgium middleweight) at Liverpool last night. Johnson proved the better man from the first and made full use of his wonderful left, and although Debarbleux put up a game fight, he was obviously inferior. Johnson is a clever boy, and there's no doubt about it. George R. Garner, noted tenor, is preparing to return to America shortly where he will appear in several concerts. As Lew Looks Today THE EDITOR Lew Payton, Who Takes the Character of "Pa Williams" in "Harlem," Is One of the Most Widely Known Negro Performers on the American Stage. Lew, for Quite Some Time, Was the Senior Member of the Team of Copeland and Payton. began making overtruces for colored talent, with the attendant large salaries paid, it had the effect on many that sudden admittance to the jam pantry would have no children. Foolish expenditures, wild parties, dictatorial attitudes toward employers, and foolish bonusing were some of the evils that arose. Aroused by articles in releases of the Associated Negro Press decrying their misconduct, as well as warning from those more level-headed performers, there is a very noticeable lessening of the former conditions. One actress, Mildred Washington, has bought property in Pasadena and others are banking their money or investing it properly. At that local actors were the greatest offenders, those brought in from New York usually taking everything as a matter of course. Before this comparatively few rerelied special parts or high wages for their work. Noble Johnson, veteran of the screen; Spencer Williams, senator, actor and assistant director; Madane Sul-te-wan, Oscar Smith, Raymond Turner, Carolyn Snowden and others had held contracts with studios and were well paid. There are still many faults to be corrected, among which is the tendency among some comedy race girls and women to encourage or make advances toward white property men or other employees of the studios. RENAISSANCE THEATRE Seventh Avenue, 137th Street 5 Days — Commencing Saturday, April 27 Douglas MacLean in The Carnation Kid A Paramount 100 Per Cent All Talking Mirthful — Thrilling — Startling Keep in Mind Hearts in Dixie Several tales have been drifting around of one girl going to the dressing room of a white actor in the new "Lasky" picture, "Thunderbolt"; another becoming a mother to a part "ofay" baby, and various other instances of flixtions between white underlings and Negro girls. This, too, will cause as they begin to realize the folly of it and in what little esteem they are held by Nordic misceganists. Refugees in Chaney's Newest LOS ANGELES, Cal.-With a southern flood scene, with floating houses and debris, submerged telegraph poles and crumbling levees, perfected as to detail, Lon Chaney's new vehicle, "Thunder," Just finished at Metro-Gold, wyn-Mayer studio, furnished a large number of colored actors and extrus employment. But it also brings vividly to mind the conditions and suffering undergone during the disastrous foundations that several times in the past few years, as well as this spring, have left thousands homeless and destruction through communities where the colored outnumbered or nearly equalled the whites in population. Incidentally it shows how misfortune makes the whole world kin. Scenes are depicted where Negroes and whites huddle together on a bit of high land amid piles of such household effects as they salvaged from the rugging waters. The colored and white kiddies play together and the white grow-ups do not think of color lines when playing with animals. Mammals and puppies sit around shivering while the strands, younger ones carry boxes and bundles or rowboats and rafts in the swollen stream. Red Cross relief boats come with nurses, doctors and National Guard soldiers. Colored and whites all mix in a seething mass, struggling for the provisions brought until a breadline is formed. A strain of the southern whites' mind is also shown when, with the return to a semblance of order, separate hospitals are set up for whites and colored. Pigs, chickens, horses, mules, dogs and other domestic animals run at large, adding realism to the scene. Thyllis Hauver, noted white actress, is co-star with Lon Chaney, and acts the part of mother of mercy to the sick in the improvised Red Cross hospitals. Among the colored actors and extras who played in the feature are John Lester Johnson, in charge of extras, Josephine Brown, Carl Groves, Carl Grews, Jr., Tom Farmer, M. W. Johnson, N. M. Heyward, Mrs. C. L. Taylor, Percy Terry, Mrs. A. Penn, Robert Dandridge, D. H. Herman, Mrs. Morrison and her daughter, Mrs. Murray. The mother of the famous boy actor, "Sunshine Sammy."

King Vidor's widely-heralded "Hallelihiah" is practically finished. One of the last bits of work was the retaking of a baptism scene at Lake Ellnor, about forty miles from Los Angeles. Charlie Moore, one of the veterans of the movie world, and much demanded "bit and part" man, had an important role in "The Trial of Mary Dugan," made at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio. The filming of "The Woman Who Needed Killing," a Fox picture, necessitated the study of the Swahall language by the large number of colored actors depicting a story of that tribe in Africa.

"Harlem" Moves to the Times Square Theatre A previous contract with a picture company will compel the successful "Harlem" to vacate its present quarters, the Apollo, before May 1. But "Harlem," being one of the dramatic season's most desirable tenants, Edward A. Blatt, its young producer, has been invited to move his sixty- and dark-skinned players into the spacious and decorative precincts of the Times Square Theatre, next door, on 42nd Street. Thus "Harlem" will continue its New York engagement at the Lyric Theatre beginning Monday night. April 29. N.A.A.C.P. Helps Convict White Men in Louisiana of Wantonly Slaying Women EROS, La.. April 22—An epoch-making case has just come to a conclusion in Louisiana, with a white jury convicting white men of murder for the brutal shooting of four colored women at Eros, La., two of the women being killed outright and two of them maimed for life.

Negotiations for Aged Home Begun Plan Would Link Denominations in Co-operative Project Reorganized with a complement of all Negro officers at its helm, the Second Dollar Corporation. 353 Lenox avenue, announced Friday through Donelan J. Phillips that it had begun negotiations with local church representatives for building an inter-deminational home for aged on Long Island. The Second Dollar Corporation is dealing in suburban property and is developing a section of 800 acres at Port Jefferson. The company has made plans for a public beach, with swimming and boating during the summer. The proposed aged home would house indigents of all subscriber churches. Such a plan, it is held, would effect a material saving annually for New York churches that now support their exclusive homes, Mr. Phillips said. Newly elected heads of the concern are: Walter Yearwood, president; John Heron, treasurer; Ormond D. Hopkins, secretary; Donelan J. Phillips, director of accounts, and R. R. Felix, director of investigation. B. S. C. P. Official Assaulted. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 22 (A. N.P.)—Ashley L. Totten, assistant general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, was set up and severely clubbed Saturday afternoon as he was walking down a street in a thickly settled residential section. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1929 Jersey White People About thirty young people of the Morsemere Community Church of Ridgefield, N. J., were visitors to Harlem on Sunday. The first step was the New York Urban League, where James H. Hubert, executive secretary, addressed them on achievements and problems of the Negro in Harlem. The group visited Negro owned apartments under the supervision of J. W. Walker, and heard spirituals at Abyssinian Baptist Church in a program arranged by the Rev. Horatio Hill, and spent the remainder of the day learning of Negro life and culture through personal observation. The trip was arranged by the Fellowship of Reconciliation in an effort to acquaint white people with the better side of Negro life.

The crusade we hear so much of is not meant to end corruption, but to put white men in the places of black men. THE REAL PROBLEM of the Republicans is this: How can we satisfy the South without losing the Negro vote? They are like the dog with a bone in his mouth who saw his reflection in the pool; he dropped the bone he had and jumped in after the other one. He lost both. Are the Republicans as dumb as that dog?

Mr. Hoover's southern policy drives the last nail in the coffin of the Negro's political aspiration and clinches it on the other side. Nothing short of a miracle will restore bygone prestige and power to the Negroes of the South to the North, by youngest of the present generation. (On Mr. Hoover's policy the Negro is dethroned and the "illy whites" exalted. In this conclusion, the President's sincerest friends and severest critics will agree.

Wherever possible Trade With Stores in Harlem That Do Not Practice Discrimination in the Selection of Their Employees. N. A. A. C. P. Reports N. A. A. C. P. Reports THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION for the Advancement of Colored People has published its nineteenth annual report. It is aptly called "a year's defense of the Negro's American citizenship rights." The association undertook the defense of the Negro in many individual cases, such as that of Ben Bess of South Carolina, who had been sentenced to thirty years on the perjured testimony of a woman who later admitted the perjury. In three out of four cases the association successfully fought the extradition of Negroes to Southern states for trial. Nothing will upset this program unless the President within the next two years finds himself at log-headers with the dominant influence in his party, making it possible for some Mark Hanna or Frank Hitchcock to defeat his renomination through manipulation of southern delegates by methods in which this brand of politicians is adept. Barring this unexpected contingency, the southern Negro will be compelled to stand out in the political cold for many a long and dreary day. Or, as Senator Blain used to say, the Negro will have to tarry at Jericho until his beard grows. THE ASSOCIATION was even more active in general cases affecting large numbers of Negroes. It took up the fight to have Negroes admitted to the public libraries in West Virginia; it fought for the Negro's right to register as a voter in Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Virginia and Arkansas; it fought threatre discrimination in Michigan; it brought suit in New Jersey and Indiana for discrimination in the schools and at pleasure resorts; in Washington it investigated prejudice in Government departments. But, after all, Mr. Hoover's policy may be the best in the jones --- NEWS of the death and burial of Marshal Foch filled the papers recently. Not so much, however, as to crowd off the front page the trial of two Negro dancers charged with murder. IN NEW YORK, too, there was much for the association to do. It was active in the case of a nurse who was denied work at a hospital; it caused the Navy Department to stop the assaults upon citizens by white sailors; it secured police protection for families who had moved into a white neighborhood on Long Island; it assisted clerks who had been discriminated against by foremen and superintendents in the New York City Post Office. The crime was of a nature such as one may read of frequently in the French papers, yet since the Negro is a marked man in no matter what part of the world he finds himself, the trial was bound to attract attention because of a certain incident involved—an incident that had nothing to do with the murder. GOOD AS THIS RECORD IS, the officers of the association report that it would be much better if the association had more support from the people; with their present resources they can take up only a small fraction of the cases of discrimination and other evils practiced upon the Negro. This is apparent to everybody. It has become the custom of colored people, whenever they hear of a flagrant anti-Negro movement or episode, to say: "Why don't the National Association people do something about it?" But when asked why they do not join the association they are silent. First, a word about the accused. They are Guillaume LaFortune and Lionel Julan, natives of the French West Indies. Arriving in Paris, they became, after many vicissitudes, gigolos in a Montmartre cabaret, where their tall, victorious dark faces, clever dancing and fast clapping won them a certain popularity. The term gigolo has a shorter and uglier name in English. It is at best a difficult life, even in a land where exotic individuals, and Negroes in particular, find a great deal of indulgence in their favor. Finally, in the hope of getting a large sum they attacked two aged men, one stone, and breaking the skull of the other with a pressing-iron. The latter is now an invalid for life. IT WOULD BE WELL if the officers and directors of the N.A.A.C.P. would undertake a searching analysis of the reasons why such a beneficent organization is so meagrely supported. The Negro people could easily maintain a dozen such associations; did they not raise millions for Marcus Garvey? From their crime they got, some $200 in cash and non-negotiable bonds. The cash spent, they tried to sell the bonds and were caught. Both ended by accusing the other, and after a sensational trial, La-Arnaud was sentenced to the guillotine, when he was prison for life. Evidence showed that it was LaFortune did the killing, while Julan did the stealing. THE N. A. A. C. P. needs a brutal friend to tell it the unwelcome truth instead of heaping it with flattery. The harsh truth is that the association, rightly or wrongly, is regarded by the Negro masses as a "high hat" coterie. To them it lacks the common touch; they think it is run solely for the benefit of the upper classes. One of the most important jobs the association can undertake is that of dispelling this notion. Before it can realize its potentialities it must, in commercial parlance, "sell itself to the Negro people." LaFortune also had a police record. After the murder he went to the home of one of his victims, and mixing with the crowd, said so that all could hear him: "If ever they catch the brute who did this, I hope they'll gulitonize him." But the singular fact about the trial was this, and let those who declare that there is a natural relationship between white and black explain it. If they were there were a number of women, some of them well-to-do, and others young and not lacking in good looks, who were entirely in favor of these two murderers. Losing Both Bones Losing Both Bones ENGLAND is the target of a historic gibe, attributed by some to Napoleon, by others to Bernard Shaw. It is something like this: Whenever England wishes to grab a territory or do some other dirty trick she first convinces her people that she is embarked upon a great moral issue. This is true enough, but England is not the only hypocrite. Her daughter America has inherited all the hypocrisy of Mother England and even improved upon it. An instance is the virtuous crusade against Perry Howard and other Negro politicians in the South. One of them, a rich Englishwoman, past fifty, to whom La-Fortune had given dancing lessons, as soon as she heard of his death, she went to one of the best lawyers in Paris, showered as one French paper says, "a thousand sweets" on him and came without shame to act as a character witness. On hearing evidence she wept, and was so overcome that he had to be carried from the room. Another woman, young, elegant. PRESIDENT HOOVER, they say, means to put an end to Negro office-traffickers in the South and to corruption in general. He has been told that the Republican party can hold its recent gains in the South if it will appoint "respectable" representatives. Boiled down, this means white thieves instead of black thieves. It means that the white C. Bascom Slemp, discredited because of patronage-brokering in Virginia, is regarded as a cleaner politician than Perry Howard, who was tried and triumphantly acquitted of corruption. NO SANE PERSON believes that office-brokering is going to end as long as there are offices. If the Lily- By KELLY MILLER run. Only those who live through the long run will be able to see. Only three courses were open to Mr. Hoover: To let things rip as they were wont to do; to insist upon the enforcement of the Four- PRESIDENT - Kelly Miller - teenth and Fifteenth Amendments, or to set up sgme such expediency as he has adopted. The first is wholly ineffectual, as thirty years of trial has abundantly shown; the second requires greater courage than could be expected, even of Mr. Hoover; the third leaves us A Parisi A Parisian Trial By J. A. ROGERS beautiful, took the stand on behalf of La Fortune saving: "Never will for or behalf of LaFortune, saying: "Were I believe him capable of such a crime." She is married to a manufacturer, and LaFortune gave her dancing lessons for several months. LaFortune has left her all his goods, which are in reality very little. Clement Vautel, leading French columnist, says of the incident: The two Negro enamel dancers have been condemned, one to death or to penal servitude for life. That will make two other Bambous the less in Montmorant, which, after becoming the center of attraction for the world, has been bawled by white men and especially among white women. It is impossible to count any longer the number of curious ones, the ones who are sensing who are devoted to the Negro. This black smobbliness among white people is increasing and it was that it was that, at the trial of these two dark brutes, a woman of the middle-class, wife of an honorable merchant, was to witness in favor of her friend Filius Lafayette, today promised to the guillotine. A fellow journalist relates the scene as follows: To the bar, with firm step, came a couple, with friendly chillness, featuring Bringing Back Yesteryears One person was killed and numerous others were injured at Wesley Church, Camden, N. J. when the balcony collapsed at the close of a conference. Thirty-one nurses received diplomas at Harlem Hospital. William Dewson, aspirant for Congressman Brown, was first Illinois district, was defeated by Martin B. Madden, white. The Eastern Colored Baseball League was disbanded. Five Years Ago The War Department commuted the sentences of seventeen members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry who were serving terms at Ft. Leavenworth for rioting. Nine persons, including eight firemen, were killed and a score injured in Chicago when the wall of a box factory collapsed after an explosion. William H. Tyers, musician and prolific composer, died at his home here. Luke Adams, a laborer, was burned at Orangeburg, S. C. in the South there will be more than ever. The crusade meant to end corruption, places of black men. M of the Republicans is in the South without losing like the dog with a bone in reflection in the pool; he jumped in after the other Republicans as dumb as quizical of the wisdom of the President's policy and purpose. But curiously enough, just at this critical juncture, a Negro Congressman comes down from the North, so that the race may not be wholly without political hope. A single Negro Congressman amidst 434 of his colleagues will have mainly picturesque and spectacular value rather than concrete and practical advantage to his race. The mere fact of his presence gives the Negro some semblance of representation and voice among those who make the laws for women. The Negro government, few women in Congress, have no or no direct effect upon legislation, even where the female sex is chiefly concerned. We may hope within a decade to have at least five or six Negro members of Congress. While this insignificant minority can have little or no hope of effecting affirmative legislation for the race, yet, by sensible understanding and mutual interchange of advantage, substantial helpfulness may be secured for the group they represent. However, a word of caution is in order. Negro representatives from the North can have little weight in the councils of the party. Mr. De Priest is but one out of twenty-four representatives from the State of Illinois. He must follow the lead of his delegation in the line-up along the line, in literal policies. Furthermore, the states are manipulated by bosses whose dictates the individual must heed in party council. The northern Negro can hardly hope to effect national policies, as the southern leaders, had the still pretty (for she is no longer very young), with great black eyes, with two large pearls in her ears, false, perhaps. Very elegant in her tailored costume of blue, with white blouse and fur cover over her left arm, and a coquettish hat over her black hair. She enters the box, looks long THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN - J. A. Rogers - and fixedly at the Negro, and smiles to him sympathetically. She declares: "Never have I be him capable of such a crime." Then, fine, pretty, elegant, unabashed, folding with care her fur over her left arm, she left the room, not without having looked longingly again at her ex-dancer, who followed her with his eyes intensely. In the act of this, there is courteous comes before all the world without thinking of the scandal her act would cause, to save her miserable gigolo. She at least does not hide the sheath she has taken, a black. This up-to-date middle-class woman makes a public aweal, and is not the least troubled by the severe look of men with reddened eyes. Identically, she still loves this Negro woman, the Montmartre cabaret to the sound of savage music and even an odor more noticeable than in the custom. She has guarded the sound of regret, without doubt, of all that. Such is the Madonna Bovary, model of 1928. That of Flauberton means to us today of faded sentimentalism, fine fine man, his blond Judith. Then, now, of a lovely young woman, who frolics with a robust Nogger, seller of cocaine, scaler of jewels and sweets. Is that the real, actual Paris? A part, yes, but by no means the greater part. There is still a Paris that works, struggles and suffers, that is consolation for the other. Evidently, the woman of this type who consorts with Negroes is the exception. But, anyway, those white men who are trying to imitate the black men, the Marqués de Préloi ought to fade into still stronger account the charmer with the nut-brown skin and the woolly hair, the black peril, which, it is true, will take yet another color for the husbands. And there you are! This murder, dastardly and unpardonable, as it is, is nevertheless of the kind committed frequently by white men. As to the French Negro, well treated, he is very law abiding, and crimes like this are rare with him. Yet, as treated by M. Vautel, the act of these men is made to reflect SPECIAL ARTICLES chance to do. Lincoln Johnson, in 1912, had it in his power to determine the nomination of the Republican party. He held the Georgia delegation, which turned out to be the decisive factor, in the hollow of his hands. No northern candidate took top honors exercise such determinative, power The chief function of the lone Negro Congressman from Illinois, from the racial point of view, is that the nation will become accustomed to seeing Negroes in high government stations. There is a studied policy on the part of the Republican statesmanship since the Negro out of high public station, so that the public mind will become adjusted to his absence as the normal order of things. The public press has given more space to Mr. DePriest than to any other ten members-elect, merely because of the unusualness of the Negro's presence in the legislative body. In the days of reconstruction and creation, such presence excited not the least common or perturbation. When Mr. DePriest is reinforced by representatives from New York, Philadelphia, Detroit and Cleveland, as will shortly happen, the Negro Congressman will be looked upon as a regular and normal part of the law-making body. "Out of sight, out of mind" is a good maxim in politics as in other affairs. If the Negro is not in evidence, his case is forgotten. But wherever his presence is registered his cause will follow. Our hats are off to you. Miss Chicago, and to Congressman DePriest, who has been sent to represent the race. = on all. What, do certain of our white brothers also want a monopoly on their own race? Already they have a corner on all the virtues. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR OUT OF RUT Writer Says Irvin C. Miller Is to Be Congratulated on "Circus Showman." To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir: The musical melodrama at the Lincoln last week proves how the local Negro presentations can be lifted out of the rut. Irvin C. Miller is to be congratulated for his cleverness. Anyone having seen the motion picture, "The Barker," can readily see that the "Circus Showman" is a skillful adaptation, a brilliant idea, and a great relief from the stale, sexy jokes that we have been used to.

Any room or house can be very much trouble or expense, hot carbolized soap suds andposure to fresh air and sunlight SEE that you and your children do not move into any room, house or workplace where a consumptive or a person with a chronic cough has lived, worked or died until it has been carefully disinfected by the board of health, or your doctor. Any room or house can be made perfectly sate, without very much trouble or expense, by a thorough scrubbing with hot carbolized soap suds and water, followed by liberal exposure to fresh air and sunlight. Mere fumigation without vigorous application of soap and water, and the letting in of sunlight and air, will not kill the germs of tuberculosis. Wipe down all the walls and cellings carefully with cloths dampened with some disinfectant solution; then scrub all the floors and woodwork thoroughly with hot water (in which put two tablespoons of carbic acid to every drop) to admit sunlight and air for two days and then whitewash, kalsimone or paper the walls. After such a procedure you need have no fear of infection in the room. provide a good supply of fresh air, and your rooms and corridors should be kept as clean as scrubbing brush, hot water and sunlight can make them. Never cramp your lungs by tight or too heavy clothing. Stooped shoulders prevent proper air getting to your lungs. If you or your children have stopped, hollow, badly developed chests, practice regularly, deep breathing, keeping the shoulders back, and do easy gymnastics to broaden the chest. If your nose seems stopped up, go to a nose and throat doctor. Stop Fromisous Spitting.
