TWO U.S. MARINE RULE IN HAITI SEEN AS COLOSSAL FAILURE Unofficial Report Places Number Killed at Aux Cayes at Twelve—Natives Practically Defenseless By LOUIS R. LAUTIER. (Special Correspondent of The Amsterdam News.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 9.—Coincident with of an official report that five Haitians (unofficial mate twelve) had been killed and twenty wounded by marines at Aux Cayes last Saturday, President Hes special message to Congress asking authority for the dispatch of a commission to Haiti to review and study situation in that republic with a view to arriving "as definite policy than exists at present." An appropriation was requested for that purpose. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 9.—Coincident with the receipt of an official report that five Haitians (unofficial reports estimate twelve) had been killed and twenty wounded by American marines at Aux Cayes last Saturday, President Hoover sent a special message to Congress asking authority for the immediate dispatch of a commission to Haiti to review and study the internal situation in that republic with a view to arriving "at some more definite policy than exists at present." An appropriation of $50,000 was requested for that purpose. Recent disturbances in Haiti, the President said, emphasize the importance of such an investigation and determination of national policies with respect to the situation there in the immediate future. Congress will probably take prompt action on President Hower's proposal according to statements by members of the House foreign affairs committee.

Koenig, deprived one of Harlem's two aldermen of the minority leadership of the Board of Aldermen, on Monday night, when John Clifford Hawkins, alderman of the Twenty-first District, in a signed statement, asserted that he did not say that he "was too busy to take the minority leadership." Mr. Hawkins' statement, in full, is as follows: "I was a candidate for the office of Minority Leader of the Board of Aldermen, and I was defeated. "I did, at no time, say to anyone that I was too busy to take the minority leadership or to do the added work which this position requires; nor have I at any time authorized any person, high or low, to make any such statement for me or on my behalf. "I wanted the minority leadership and thought then and think now that I am entitled to it on my record, my experience, my party regularity, and upon the merits." The other alderman is Fred R. Moore, who was quoted last week as having said that he was not a candidate for the office. It is not known whether or not Alderman Moore supported Hawkins for the post when a conference was held at Koenig's office last Monday, but in view of Mr. Moore's stand on race leadership, it is difficult to understand how he This Week's News Index General Local and National News 1, 2, 3, 4 News of Society.....

Other than the statement given out by Chairman Koenig it is not known exactly what took place at the conference. There were only four Republican aldermen elected to the board and it is difficult to see how the designation of J. C.

Thorpe, 32, a chauffeur, 676 St. Nicholas avenue, was freed of a charge of assault Friday in General Sessions. Expecting to be sent to the penitentiary, Thorpe was saved by the investigation of the probation department, which showed that he had acted in self-defense when attacked by Jack Perkins, white, 917 Ogden avenue, Bronx, on Aug. 13. The stabbing occurred at Riverside drive and 145th street as Perkins' car blocked the road. When Thorpe, accompanied by a woman and her daughter, blew his horn for the right of way, Perkins became incensed and violently cursed him. The white man came back to the car and threatened the chauffeur. Ray Murphy, also white, was in the car with Perkins and got out to fight Thorpe. He advanced and struck the driver in the face, breaking his glasses. He then obtained a wrench and launched the attack anew. Thorpe grappled and was getting the better of his assailant with his fists when Perkins entered the fray. Shot and Beaten. With odds against him, Thorpe pulled out a knife and stabbed Perkins. The other white man continued to fight him with the wrench. As the chauffeur threw off his attacker and re-entered his car, Detective John A.

The detective and another police officer beat the wounded prisoner before they took him to the West 152d street station house. Witnessed Affair. Judge Bertini, before whom the defendant was arraigned, was informed of the true circumstances by George O'Hara and J. S.

After the verdict had been rendered Judge Barrett gave Brown a scatling lecture, saying: "There is one person in the room who knows you're guilty. You're getting away with it and you're lucky." "You've been given the benefit of the doubt. Take that smile off your face. You'll go wrong unless you take this as a lesson. Get out of the fighting game. You're not the innocent being that an impression of you gives." Brown contended that he killed Barnett in self-defense when the latter attacked him with a knife on Aug. 15, 1928. He also charged that the fatal argument was the result of his defending a white boy from Barnet's 15-year-old son.

Mondon, who had been in charge of the house at 154th street for three years, according to his wife, Elizabeth, had gone to the roof at 10:30 a.m. to remove some bricks which had fallen from a chimney. Mrs. Mondon said she followed him to the roof to help him as her husband had been feeling badly for some time. "When I reached the roof," said Mrs. Mondon, "my husband was leaning over the edge of the roof with a number of bricks in his hands as though he was about to drop them to the courtyard below. I called to him not to drop the bricks there. "I must have startled him, for in attempting to raise his body and answer me he suddenly slipped and fell headlong from the roof."

The fire, believed to have been caused by the ignition of the highly combustible films stored in the building, spread with such rapidity that twenty-five fire engines were called to fight the flames before their deadly onslaught could be checked. A rehearsal was in progress at the studio at the time when the fire was discovered. Actors and employees worked frantically in an attempt to extinguish the fire, but to no avail, and twenty of them are now in Harlem Hospital, many of them injured seriously.

Before anyone could go to her aid the now excited listeners outside the door of the Booker apartment heard the dull tussle of a body striking the floor.

Robert Elder, 33, 362 West 127th street, who the police say is wanted in Philadelphia for the murder of Miss Lucy McCullers, his common-law wife, whom he is alleged to have killed with an axe on July 10, 1925, was arrested in his home by Detectives Graham and Kanmerer of the West 123d street station and charged with being a fugitive from justice. Arraigned last Wednesday before Magistrate Goodman in Harlem Court, Elder was held without ball pending the arrival of extradition papers. He is alleged to have admitted his guilt, the police say. Elder and Miss McCullers were living at 2129 Vine street, Philadelphia, where the murder is alleged to have taken place. Elder, according to the story told by the police, returned home and found Miss McCullers in the company of another man. He picked up the axe and attacked both, it is charged. The man fled from the apartment, although he was struck several blows and injured. Miss McCullers was beaten into unconsciousness and was removed to the hospital, where she died five days later.

The force of marines in Haiti is under the direct command of Brig. Gen. John J. Russell, the American High Commissioner. In immediate command of the detachment of 650 marines in Haiti is Col. R. M.

The aviation detachment comprises 90 officers and men, who are included in the entire contingent in Haiti.

The High Commissioner of Haiti, Brig.

The administration had already announced that 500 marines had been ordered sent to Haiti. The majority leader of the House, Representative John Q.

Needham Piano 520 WEST 48th STREET NEW YORK CITY WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1929 PASTOR QUITS WHEN CHURCH BARS NEGROES DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 9 (ANP)—Because the church council refused to admit Negroes to the membership, Rev. A. J. Helm, white, resigned as pastor of the Bethel Evangelical Church of Detroit, according to an announcement made here Sunday. A colored man and woman had attended the church for several years and recently had applied for membership. The pastor recommended that they be accepted, but the church council steadfastly refused on grounds of color. Discussing the affair, Dr. Helm declared: "To refuse church membership to anyone not of the same race is to deny the most obvious teaching of Jesus and to give the ethical sanctions of Christianity to race prejudice."

The Presentation Is Being Made by Peter G. Ottendolfer, the Station Superintendent. Veteran Letter Carrier Sets Himself For Long Rest After 40 Years on Job After walking the distance around the earth many times over in the performance of his duties as a letter carrier for the past forty years, twenty-eight of them spent at Station J, 309 West 1235 street, William H. Norwood, 65, of 856 Elsmere place, Bronx, plans to take a good, long rest following his retirement on Saturday from the postal service. When interviewed on Monday by a reporter of The Amsterdam News, Mr. Norwood sketched in brief the history of his service as a letter carrier. I was first appointed as a letter carrier in 1889 in the town of my birth, Wilmington, N. C., and remained there for eleven years. During that time all of the carriers were forced to work longer than the officially recognized eight-hour day. In 1896 I began litigation to recover the back pay due all the postal clerks in the city of Wilmington for the extra hours of work we had performed without pay. We were finally awarded claims totalling $4,571. Republicans Plan All Year Program Naturalization, Housing and Health Among New Projects "I was transferred from Wilmington in 1900 at my own request and was sent to Station B (New York) on East Grand street. The foreign element residing in the neighborhood made this a very difficult station. "I remained there only for one year and that year saw the assassination of President McKinley and the succession of Roosevelt. The last station was Station J. I have been in Harlem, at Station J, on West 125th street. "I have never been idle before and it will probably seem strange not to be making my regular rounds, but I am sure that I shall enjoy the change. I have no plans for the future except that I plan to take a good rest." Fellow workers of the veteran mail carrier, who will be 66 on Jan. 8, gave him a roaring an enthusiastic applause on Saturday at Station J. Supt. Peter J. Otterdorfer presented him with a gold watch in behalf of the employees of the station. LUNCHROOM OPENED AT HARLEM SCHOOL As a result of the continued efforts of the North Harlem Community Council, P.

Hamilton J. Travis, president of the club, and Aaron Smith, chairman of programs and publicity, have just completed plans for the new year which will make the Appomattox Republican Club a center of community life. According to these two leaders, the club's new policy of activity will include almost every phase of civic life and will be prepared to give aid in the matter of legal advice, naturalization, housing, sanitation, health, employment and industry. To meet the needs which these new problems will present, the club will be in session every night with the heads of each department present ready to function. The law committee will be composed of five lawyers, with Alderman John Clifford Hawkins as the chairman. The naturalization committee will be headed by Edward Watts and will hold its first meeting tomorrow evening. A victory smoker is planned for Saturday evening at the clubhouse to celebrate the new organization, the women's auxiliary of the club will be headed by Hester Green and Saddle Wright. The club is housed in a four-story private house with spacious conference, committee rooms and auditorium. Charles W. B.

Gifford, President of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. 25 years ago, such a statement would have been received with polite incredulity. Today it is accepted without reservation. For such has been the progress of telephony, even in the past ten years, that we may look forward expectantly to even more amazing achievements. Ten years ago less than 12,000,000 people in this country were united to each other by the speech network of the telephone. Today, from your telephone, you can talk to any one of nearly 29,000,000 telephones, here and abroad. So we draw nearer that day when a person in New York State can reach by telephone anyone in the world with whom he wishes to talk—a day when Mr. Gifford's statement will have become an accomplished fact.

Day alleged that he was arrested on Aug. 25 by Hoffman and Daley at his home. The arresting officers he charged assaulted him with blackjacks and clubs and kept him in a small room at the City Hall from 3 o'clock in the morning until late in the afternoon. He alleged that in an effort to force him to confess to McGain's murder they repeatedly slapped him with their hands and struck him with butt ends of pistols, kicked him in the stomach, dragged him over the floor, twisted his left arm, hit him with a rubber hose and placed a rope around his neck. The blows, he charged, broke a bone in the left side of his face, three ribs, inflicted innumerable cuts and brushes and forced him to undergo an operation on Nov. 27 for an injury to glands in his thigh. He asked $15,000 damages. $122.40 for lost wages. $25 for medical treatment. Robert C. Logan is his attorney.

Millspaugh Blames Military Rule in Haiti TEETH EXTRACTED FREE Come and be convinced, and I assure you, you will never be afraid to have a tooth pulled again. No charge if I hurt you! A. C. Millspaugh Military Rule 一 In a signed article published by the New York World, Dr. A. C. Millspaugh, of Kuala mazoo, Mich., emphasized the wisdom and necessity for the appointing of such a commission as President Hoover proposes. Dr. Millspaugh will be remembered as the former financial minister who left the blind under mystifying circumstances in 1927, at which time it was charged that the State Department had asked for his resignation because of his repeated attacks on American extratourism there. Dr. Millspaugh says in part: "Since our intervention in 1915 America has maintained a military occupation in Haiti and has practically controlled the civil government of that republic. This American intellegue of a nominally sovereign foreign nation has been based on the country of 1915. The American government has periodically announced by official spokesman of the American Government, to is create conditions of stability in that country." Haitian Situation Still Uncertain (Continued from Page 2.) nal results in improvement of the material condition of that people. Yet our experience has revealed more clearly than was seen at first the difficulties of the problem, and the entire situation should be reviewed in the light of this experience. "Since the dispatch of my message, disturbances in Haiti emphasize the importance of such an investigation and determination of national policies in the immediate future. "The students at the agricultural school at Damien went on a strike on Oct. 31 as a protest against a new policy of the Haitian government. The Haitian government had heretofore allotted $10,000 per annum to this school for scholarships, but this year it withheld $2,000 of the appropriation in order to make it possible for needy students to perform practical school work on the grounds. "Systematic strikes were subsequently declared in the medical and law schools. President Borno appointed a committee of Haitians to inquire into the matter and it seemed probable at the time that recommendations presented by this committee and accepted by the authorities would adjust the difficulty. "Unfortunately, advantage was taken of the situation by various agencies to foment disturbances against the Haitian administration and on December 3 the American High Commissioner reported that the strike movement had spread throughout the country and that it was feared that the Haitian employees of the departments under American treaty officials might become involved. "On December 4 custom house employees at Port-au-Prince abandoned their work in a disorderly manner and crowds have gathered in Port-au-Prince. At the same time there were reported demonstrations by crowds at Cape Haitien in sympathy with the disturbance in Port-au-Prince. The American High Commissioner reported that on the morning of December 4 it was feared that disorderly conditions would arise at Aux Cayes and similar disturbances were possible at other places. "The High Commissioner has asked that additional marines be in readiness to make sure that if the situation becomes serious American lives will be protected.

Telephone Monmu EASY WEEKLY PAYMENT [Plates Repaired Whi "Since 1918 Halif has made substantial progress and the American administration has to its credit much tungible constructive accomplishment, particularly along the lines of publicing, public health, education and public works. After giving due weight to material progress and constructive accomplishment, however, it is evident that conditions essential to stable self-government have not been established in Halif, and there is no reasonable grounds for believing such conditions can be essential before the expiration of the treaty. "On account of various circumstances due partly to original shortcomings of the treaty, American effort has not been intelligently planned, effectively organized and vigorously directed. There has been no expert study, such as President Hoover apparently contemplated, aimed at finding the solution to the difficult, complicated problem of ensuring stable, self-government for our primitive, ignorant and politically inexperienced Negro population." and the force he has suggested has been ordered dispatched for that purpose. "I feel that it is most desirable that the commission mentioned in my message of December 3 be constituted and sent to Haiti without delay and I, therefore, request the Congress to authorize the immediate sending of such a commission and to appropriate for this purpose $50,000. It is my intention to include one or two members from each House of Congress on this commission." Fish for Commission. Meanwhile Representative Hamilton Fish, Republican, of New York member of the foreign affairs committee, introduced in the House last Saturday a resolution to provide for the Haitian situation. The text of his resolution is as follows: "Whereas, the prime object of the treaty entered into by the Government of the United States with Haiti in 1916, which expires in 1936, was the development of the capacity of the Haitian people to establish a responsible and orderly government of their own in Haiti, and "Whereas, it is the desire of the Congress of the United States that the terms of the treaty be strictly adhered to in order to intelligently prepare the Haitian people for self-government by 1936, when they will of necessity assume all governmental powers upon the withdrawal of the American troops and officials in accordance with the pledges stated in the treaty." "Resolved, that the President of the United States is hereby authorized to appoint a commission, not exceeding seven members, to visit Halif, and inquire into the occupation and administration of the territories of that republic by the armed forces and public officials of the United States, and to make a comprehensive report as to whether the United States Government has fulfilled the terms of the treaty and to recommend a program, or policies, that might be put into effect under the present government of Halif, which would benefit the people and prepare them for self-government and afford a satisfactory solution of a difficult problem that must be settled before we can honorably consider leaving Halif." Senator IWiliam E. Borah, Republican, of Idaho, chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, said that President Hoover's message will probably be considered tomorrow. "Widespread Unrest"—Borah. "The immediate disturbances in Hali't is only symptomatic of a widespread and bitter unrest," Senator Borah declared. "The oppression and cruelty of the present government of Hali't is something beyond the power of language to describe, something you would not suppose could take place anywhere in this day and age. It does seem to me that if we are going to stay in Hali't, the least we can do is to compel the government of Hali't to be just and merciful toward these unfortunate people. If there is a program, as indicated in the President's message, or cleaning up that situation, I want help to present conditions are intolerable." Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, long an advocate of the withdrawn of the American forces of occupation and Haitian independence, said: "The situation in Haiti has been far from satisfactory. The Haitian people resent American occupation, and no matter how long we maintain marine and military forces, there will be smoldering resentments, which will prevent the desired development of Haiti. "The United States ought some time ago to have indicated its unr ```markdown ``` pose to withdraw and permit the people of Haiti to set up a government of their choice. "I shall support the President's suggestion that a commission be appointed to investigate the situation, if I am able to attend the Senate. However, unless a proper commission is appointed, the result will not be satisfactory and will accomplish no good." Grand Jury to Get Striver's Row M.D Grand Jury to Get Striver's Row M.D Dr. A. A.

Holdbrooks, 48, fashionable physician, with offices at 118 West 139th street, was held in $3,000 bail for the Grand Jury on Thursday, when arraigned before Magistrate Well of Washington Heights Court on a serious charge involving a 14-year-old girl.

Furlow, sales manager of the company, with three of his assistants, acted as host for the company. After inspection of the store, the members of the association were invited into the company's assembly rogn. Mr. Furlow welcomed the visitors, and then explained scientifically the present-day set-up of the modern grocery store. Other speakers were Albon L. Holsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, who is organizing Negro grocers in all parts of the country, and H. C. Francis, president of the Harlem Colored Merchants' Association. Cigars and refreshments were served, and at the close of the meeting each visitor was presented a gift box containing an assortment of Premier Food samples. The Harlem Colored Merchants' Association operating as C. M. A. Stores is an organization of twenty-three grocers who are seeking to improve their selling methods and to expand their service by co-operative buying and co-operative advertising. At a meeting last Wednesday night Mr. Holsey announced that the grocery account of the Harlem Charity Organization Society would be handled through the C. M. A. Stores. This represents one of the largest grocery orders ever handled through Negro retail grocery channels. Heretofore this business has been handled through one of the large grocery corporations which operates a chain of stores in Harlem. "Our success in securing this business for the Harlem C. M. A. Stores," said Mr. Holsey, "was made possible through the personal interest of Miss Downs, the director of the Harlem Charity Organization Society, in all matters relating to the advancement of our people and is a fine example of the value of co-operation in business."

William O'Nell, father of the girl, came here armed with the family Bible to prove the age of his daughter in case her future is threatened on this score.

Montero met her May 1 and asked her to have intercourse with him, the girl declared to police. When she refused he returned the next day and asked her to visit his barge. When she consented he locked her inside and returned to her room and brought Leln's clothes to the barge. There he beat her prisoner three days and left.

Sometimes a citizen had to pay for the privilege and if a man abused the honor he had to pay a fine. In All Saints' Church at Hastings these words were written: "This is a belly that is free For all those that civil be, / And if you please to chime or ring It is a very pleasant thing." All through history from the Sixteenth Century, which was the golden age of bells, chimes have called out to people their cheerful messages—usually telling a story. For example, when the old year was departing the bells would be tolled in sadness for the dying year—then when 12 o'clock had struck the merry peals shouted forth their welcome to the new year. of decorating Christmas mail with the stamps to secure money for a children's hospital in Copenhagen appealed to her. Through her efforts the sum of $3,000 was raised that first year. From a small beginning then the seal sales have grown and flourished every year until today. This money was an annual event, without which the Christmas season would not be complete. Thanks to this tiny Christmas seal, State after State has been organized to attack tuberculosis with a scientific program. Together, led by the And it is interesting to realize that the deeds of bravery is in reality a bell inverted. Truly, the bell has always suggests pictures tales of all time. It seems fitting that on the gay little Christmas seal for 1929 a bellringer should be portrayed. He is tugging at the heavy bell, ringing in health, a joy in living, for the new year. Each year the seal is decorative and brings its message of health at the Christmas season to remind people that sickness can be prevented. So well known have these stamps become, indeed, that it is interesting to realize they originated in a small way only twenty-two years ago. In 1907 the first seals were sold in this country to help build a tuberculosis pavilion in the State of Delaware. Miss Emily P. Bissell had read about a postal clerk in Denmark whose idea Jackson, Eleanor Middleton, Winifred Davidson, Williemena Mardenbro and Allen Crawford.

GRADUATES MAKE PLACE FOR SELVES IN TRADE Vocational training is taking a strong hold on the imagination of Negro boys and girls of New Jersey, and these are more and more making places for themselves in the industrial life of New Jersey and neighboring States. This is the finding made in a report on alumni employment released today by the extension department of the Bordenton Manual Training School, the school maintained by the State of New Jersey for the vocational training of Negro youth. Twenty-five per cent of the school's graduates are now making adequate living at some form of skilled labor, most of them the trade labor, most while in school. Another eight per cent are continuing in school or college, while a final seventeen per cent cannot be located by the extension office.

Through her efforts the sum of $3,000 was raised that first year. From a small beginning then the seal sales have grown and flourished every year until today this cheerful method of raising money is an annual event, without which the Christmas season would not be complete. Thanks to this tiny Christmas seal, State after State has been organized to attack tuberculosis with a scientific national body, they have brought into existence nearly all of the present-day community machinery that combats this disease. Money raised by the Christmas seal is not sufficient to build and conduct hospitals, clinics, open-air schools and other necessary measures, so the Tuberculosis Association's program consists largely of preventive work and of arousing institutions that can be maintained by official agencies, State, county, municipal or Federal. The Christmas seal campaign is an intensive educational campaign, which has helped to bring about the passing and enforcement of health laws; the placing of tuberculosis specialists and nurses in many communities; the circulating of printed materials in homes, and factories. An active public interest in tuberculosis control has been instigated among civic, political, commercial, social and religious groups. The funds raised from the annual seal sales have always been used in the communities where the seals were purchased. Only five per cent is contributed to the National Tuberculosis Association, which acts as a clearing office for those persons in the big wheel of co-ordinated health work. In this way a feeling of personal and proprietary interest is created in those who support the sales. And this support is stupendous.

I suffered terrible from headaches, and a most awful pain in one ear. I had rheumatism in both legs, and my digestion was far from what it should be. I endured fierce pains after every meal, and as gained little value from my food, I became weaker and weaker. I had tried so many medicines, all highly recommended, and had met with no success, that I was discouraged and felt like giving up. "Then a friend told me about Konjola, and insisted that I try it. I did, and what Konjola did for me in just three weeks seemed too good to be true. But it was. My digestion was restored; the headaches and the pain in my ear vanished, and the rheumatic pain left my limbs. I am feeling better than I ever expected to feel again, and I owe it all to Konjola."

Mott, vice-president of Gen- eral Motors, was granted an uncontested divorce in Flint, Mich. last Monday irom the former Mrs. Fernando Jacoba Van Balkom Furey of Toledo. But that isn’t all! In listing the cost of nine months of married life, Mr, Mott submits the following figures: Thirty-five thousand shares General Motors stock to wile, $1.360,000; wife's attorney feces, $100,000; pearl neck- lace, $18,000; diamonds, $35,000; remodeling her apartment,, $35,000; pocket money, $50,000; honeymoon expenses, $200.00; his attorney fees, $200,000; total, $1,998,000. ‘These two persons admit that they were unhappy to- gether—money didn’t make the road smooth, Mrs. Mott contends that her husband has an income of $5,000,000 a year, and surely it is not too much for him to give his wife $100,000 a year for herself. Perhaps not, but even the money of the rich ought to be used more wisely. Economically speaking, Mrs., Mott fails to give any recognition to the present unequal distribution of wealth ‘and money is part of our national wealth), that is a direct problem to humanity.

We are in the habit of seeing each other two or three times a week. About two weeks ago he took me to the the- Jatre and sald he would call me up. ‘Since then I haven't heard from him, | Now, Egypsy Ann, I wonder if he could have got angry about this: We passed by a jewelry store and I ad- ‘mired o ring.

Now ‘you say you weren't hinting for the ring and it's quite possible ‘that you "weren't. But try and get the boy friend to believe that!

Very, very often she has to pass up something that she really wants for something that really fits. Tt IS discouraging. Then, too, many women claim that men don’t like stout women.

DOUGHERTY. WE are today closing the little controversy, Bain versus Dougherty, going on for the past few weeks in these columns. If we have perchance taken advantage of the good nature of the managing editor of this paper by using space which he feels could have been utilized for better purposes, it was not without an honesty of purpose bred by a desire to pay the tenderness to pay the writers of color on journals of sundown hue all over the country to take from the columns of this paper without due credit matter which it has taken time and money and unusual effort to produce. Among the many interested readers of the controversy we find Vere E. Johns, a stranger within our gates and one who will be gracing these columns from time to time with contributions which we are certain will meet with the approval of the majority of our readers. Mr. Johns has voluntarily "set in" on the case as judge and jury, and in his usual interesting style he submitted his opinion which appears in another part of these theatrical pages under the head of "Gullity or Not Guilty?" If we are not mistaken, Mr. Johns will also be among the contributors to the special Christmas and anniversary number of the Amsterdam News coming out in back, and under the contagiouses we do not believe it would be out of keeping to formally introduce this young man to our readers, despite the good things we have previously said of him as an actor. Mr. Johns was born at Mandeville in the island of Jamaica, British West Indies, Nov. 4, 1893, son of the Rev. M. F. Johns, B. A. (London) headmaster of the Manchester High School. Educated by his father, he successfully passed the junior and senior local examinations of the University of Cambridge in England, entering the Jamaica Civil Service in April, 1912, and was appointed to the Post Office Department. After the outbreak of the war Johns left for England at a sense in July, 1915, and ended in the South Lancashire Regiment, sailing for Egypt shortly after, when he had successfully applied for a transfer to the First Battalion, British West Indies Regiment. He saw active service for the duration of the war in Palestine and Syria, and was awarded the Military Medal for bravery in the field during General Allenby's onslaught on the Gaza BeerSheba line in November, 1917. The investiture was later made by General George V in July 1919. John returned to Jamaica and resumed his official duties in January, 1920, and was promoted to the Collector General's Department the same year and is now the Chief Statistical Officer, and is simply enjoying a vacation in this country. With a natural love for the stage he has had ten years' experience in dramatic acting and concert work, playing with professional companies and training amateurs; producing and directing plays, stage management and organizing entertainments. He also made an intensive study of elocation, and in 1928 was awarded the Gold Medal as champion of his country. He has also taken part in track athletics and football. As captain of both the track and football elevenes of the Y. M. C. A, he led his teams to victory year after year and placed them in the highest position in the island's sport. Other activities of this interesting young visitor also found him as captain and adjutant of the Church of England's Lads' Brigade, executive positions of debating and literary societies, and social service and charitable activities. I also experienced writer, being sporting critic of the Jamaica Daily Times, sporting and dramatic critic of the Jamaica Mail, as well as columnist and contributor to several monthly magazines. If we of the Amsterdam News are inclined to feel proud on being able to draw such talent as represented by the young man above spoken words of that pride in our work which makes it possible to attract those of merit and ability. THE STAGE BED WHERE in the past auditors had come to look upon the stage bed as something to immediately associate with the vulgar and suggestive stuff, output of empty minded producers based upon a lack of any demand upon the part of the yokels, one had the pleasure of seeing this necessary piece of furniture being used the other day for comedy devoid of all suggestive elements, given Eddie Hunter quite a reputation. It is being done at the Lafayette Theatre this week and with all due credit to Hunter it is a tribute to him to note that his absence in Europe made his opinion of what he should offer to the stage. There are certain "props" the stage manager can suddenly slide upon a stage and if the majority of our so-called producers were told to "go to it" they thing these "props" would be utilized by them for would be smut. There are those who would most likely differ with your servile corrections in speaking with so much praise of you, so much hope in revue production, but one must also encourage those with an idea of not "bending low to the vulgar will" so that when those of us charged with the responsibility once in a while rise to the occasion we are referred to defense that "the critic will phathe doth with rage impostors fill" NEW STAR TO HEAD LESLIE'S "BLACKBIRDS" Stranger in Our Midst Gives Opinion on Controversy New Star for The "Blackbirds" Leslie Signs Valada Snow to Head His New Company KNOWNINHARLEM Entertainer Has Been Quite a Success in Europe With Her Work Lew Leslie announced yesterday that Valda Snow, who recently returned from a sensational tour of the music balls and night clubs of Continental Europe, will be the author of "Blackbirds," which will be seen on Broadway in February. Although Miss Snow has not been seen in this country for some time, she is already well known to discerning players in the Harlem sector of the city. Miss Snow was born in Washington, and early showed an aptitude for music, studying the violin, cornet, and the viola. She studied at the prestigious Mills and the great colored star induced Lew Leslie to see Miss Snow in her musical specialty. Leslie did, but decided that the girl as a musician should learn to play the viola. He told her that she had a pleasing voice and danced fairly well, and that if she developed these arts she would some day become a stage star of her musical art and begin to study voice culture, dramatics, and dancing. The scene now shifts to London. Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" with the florence Mills was then reigning as the center for Miss Snow walked in, showed Lew Leslie what she could do, and he made her understudy to Florence Mills. When the production closed, she abruptly left the stage and moved to the cities of the Continent and subsequently around the world. It was while the last edition of "Blackbirds" was playing in Paris that the director Leslie again and this time her art was developed to such a point that he was on the spot as the star of the forthcoming edition of "Blackbirds." AT THE ALHAMBRA The breezy personality of "Uke" Bob Williams and the boisterous fun of Dusty Peterson pervade the "Sliks and Satins" novelty revue at the Alhambra Tailors and Darrell, famous among the night clubs for their gorgeous appearance, as well as their superb dancing, have some breath-taking routines. "Lanky Jim" Lancaster does eccentric stepping until the dance enthusiasts are framed. On Wright, an attractive new soubrette, sings herself into immediate popularity. There's a comedy quartette of girls, and a song folle led by Mamie Holland. The Nine-Year Band is featured in a gala scene on the stage in which Emmett Matthews sings and readers his innumerable solos on his gold gold saxophone. Egar Hayes at the plano, Louis Metcalf with his cornet and the tenor, and the saxophones and chimes all have solos. Billie Shepard and Ted Blackmon do some lively dancing with the girls. "Tiger Lil" is a rapid-fire drama of the fand country in the mountains of the Southwest, to shoot first — and ask questions afterwards. Hebe Townsend is Tiger Lil, so called because she combines the purity of the lily with the untamed fierceness of the mountainer, played by Thomas Moseley. There is violent competition between two youths for the heart and hand of the mountain beauty, the discovery of mineral wealth on the old man's farm, the courage to fight in a feud, and excitement generally, but all ends happily for Tiger Lil. William Collier, Jr., and Sally O'Neill with no picture feature, "Floating College." At the Alhambra Next Week "Winter Sports" will be the musical comedy affair on the Alhambra's tripi program for next week. "Fun in the snow as seen from a comfortable theatre seat is the way it is described," said the director, "Not With My Money," called a comedy-drama of the meantest man in the world, tells how he is tight as a drum with his money, and how his clever wife outwits him and brings him to his knees. Ricardo Cortez will be the picture star in "The Gun-Runner." AT THE RENAISSANCE "Four Feathers," now playing at the Renaissance Theatre, is one of those action-adventure pictures that stir one's feelings to a remarkable pitch. It is easy to describe the film as a drama and is attracting excellent attendance. It closes Friday. Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, the film stars Lydia Lies, a smart romance-drama. Walter Huston, Claudette Colbert and Charles Ruggles, will be the attraction. See and hear this heart tale of the love between a young girl and a child and at the same time his love for another. The story winds beautifully along with many interesting episodes with the inevitable happy ending of the love of his children and marries the woman whom he also loves. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, June 20, 20 "Charming Sinners," with Ruth Campbell, an entertaining story of cheating men and forcing her cheating husband to his affair with another woman and return to her voluntarily. There is much more from "Charming Sinners." See and hear it when it comes to the Renaissance. GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY? GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY? By VERE E.

What is usually said of me is that I talk as I think and write as I feel, without fear or favor. Sometimes I have made enemies, but my criticism has been fair and unbiased I have considered that I am the only one to preferable as an enemy than as a friend who will quite likely prove false. With such a background it is not strange that a lot of my precious nickels have gone into the hands of the newsboys so that I may closely study the journalism to be found in this large country. Since my arrival I have been to the newsboy's home and has been a living and a living with the great news news and the Thattler, and specially scan their theatrical and sporting pages. I have not found much to find fault with, but for the past few weeks we have been treated to a spirited and (to my mind) regrettable controversy being waked between Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty and Mr. John M. Bollert. I have been to the newsboy and I have been surprised at the audacity of the deed that has apparently been perpetrated and sorrow that the fine art of journalism should be so dragged through the mire. Actuated by these emotions, I conceived the idea of summing up the situation. This I do unasked, unsolicited and unsolicited by the media, and before I began to develop the articles in question. I have also decided to send the finished product to The Amsterdam News for the sole reason that all my writing in this country has been through their columns I am by nature counted on the newsboy's own. I am very excited, having read and reread the writings of both gentlemen, holding the scales of the time, and everything to read. I have been so excited, and exploring every angle of thought and even tunted to little the same on this level over the Thattler page in the hope of loving the blame on his shoulder. I Present the Case On a certain date an article from Mr. Dougherty's pen appeared in The Amsterdam News entitled "The Return of Robeson." For half the column Mr. Dougherty enlogized the illustrious Paul and then began a paragraph describing these words. But let a more gifted pen tell the tale etc. Mr. Dougherty prefaced the article with the title of the London Daily Express. Having told us all about Mr. Douglas, Mr. Dougherty prefacing "Says Mr. Douglas," gives us with proper marks and bold type the article which Mr. Douglas wrote of Mr. Robeson in the London paper. All this is in accordance with the rules of journalism; both the author and the newspaper are the author of the article. And now the sequel. One week later, Mr. Wilfred Bain writes an article in The Tattler entitled "Tribute Paul Robeson by English Writer; Flays Prejudice." Again Mr. Douglas' article is presented to the public; that was well I personally thought that every paper in the country should have a prejudice article. But as in the case of The Amsterdam News, a paragraph precedes and herein lies all the trouble. I now place the two paragraphs side by side. On a certain date an article from The Amsterdam Daily News entitled "The column Mr. Dougherty eulogized the death of Mr. Douglas. Then follows a fine and comprehensive of the London Daily Express. Havish Dougherty prefacing 'Says Mr. Douglas, Douglas, Douglas.' On paper. All this is in accordion Mr. Douglas and the London Daily Article. And now the sequel. One article in the Tattler entitled 'Tritter in the public; that was well. I personally should have reproduced the article.

But as in the es it and herein lies all side. Mr. Dougherty's Paragraph But let a more gifted pen tell the tale of his success in Europe. James Douglas, no upstart who runs wild in the field of journalism, but the trained mind of the London "Daily Express" whose writing on Jeritzn.

Says Mr. Douglas: It will be seen that they are for Douglas, no upstart, etc., to the end preceding this that Mr. Bain's different contention. I repeat it: "And as if England's greatest journalists has genius in the following language" It is intended to be Daily Express to write introduction of Mr. Douglas that Mr. New's a week before, and had a read-doubled by taken as the product. This, of course, did not suit Mr. Bain to task and preferred two charges had referred to him. Mr. Bain had stolen his introduction to appear as having been written by cannot altogether agree with these or borrowed (?) introduction has confused the same surface, but it is his right to do so. The first time he was the archaic and the greater one and the conclusion that the greed of the same person; obviously, it is intended to remain the outcome has taken the first view. I have a writings for explanation or rebuttal, admission that the introduction is have proven its value by past experiential and more of the old. And I may say that the original, where that story originated, is the pen of a self-styled 'dean' of it in the first that he felt quite justification because it was a good one, does it, rules of journalism is that the source of the work of the new? And he left out the same word "dotted" and "tacked on" in the same way where it was taken from, he would by this in staving off a double legal the London Daily Express; as it is, the requirements and saved him from being a good one. Mr. Bain took Mr. Dougherty's introduction and then the preface is made it at a causal giant appear to journalist. I am self-appointed judge, do not to a self-appointed jury, also myself: 1.

Bain has this article would have been w It will be seen that they are identical word for word from "James Douglas, no upstart, etc." to the end, but it is in the sentence immediately preceding this that Mr. Bain's differs and which proves the main bone of the argument. The author of England's greatest journalist has given Paul Robeson the palm of genius in the following language." Instead of following up with the article from the Daily Express, Mr. Bain proceeds to give us the same sentence as Doughty wrote in The Amsterdam News a week before, and later reads the latter it would undoubtedly be taken as the product of Mr. Bain's brain. they are identical work to the end, but it is in Smith's differs and which Smith's artists has given Paul's language." Instead of for expression, Mr. Bain presses that Mr. Dougherty has seen the product. Mr. Dougherty does not suit Mr. Dougherty, two charges against him of England's greatest introduction from The Art Institute with these charges, Mr. Dougherty has confused the sens, but if his paragraph the matter. After readin that the great journalist himself, and so it follows English journalist who it the outcome of Mr. Bai have taken the second production is Mr. Dougherty past experience and exp. And I might add, it is. Indeed. Whether from the profession justified one, does he not know it the source of anything he left out the offending article to his without double legal onslaught, as it is, Mr. Dougherty him from that. The Smith's introduction and re-prefaced it with some appear to have been This, of course, did not suit Mr. Dougherty, who prompk to look Mr. Bain to task and preferred two charges against him, viz., 1. That Mr. Bain referred to him as one of England's greatest journalists. 2. That Mr. Bain of the state of India from the Amsterdam News and made it appear as having been written by the said company. 3. Mr. Bain, by misplacing that borrowed (?) introduction has confused the sense and given such an impression on the surface, but if his paragraph is read carefully a new and more known, the in-law of the news and James Douglas I came to the question of the matter. After reading the whole paragraph I, he was told to follow the news and the news of the one and the same person; obviously, therefore, James Douglas were eulogize and introduce himself, and so it follows that either there is another and unnamed great English journalist who wrote the introduction, or it is intended to represent the outcome of Mr. Bain's brain; Mr. Dougherty has written to take it out to take the second. Turning to Mr. Bain's writings for explanation or results the news wielded and half-hearted admission that the introduction is Mr. Dougherty's must have proven its value by past experience and experiment that a good story is always worth repeating. And I might add, it makes no difference to us here that story originated. Whether the mouths of babies or from the men of the world can be a profession." If Mr. Bain means to infer by that that he felt quite justified Mr. Dougherty's introduction because it was a good one, does he not know that one of the rules of journalism is that the source of anything that is reproduced must always be given? Had he left out the offending paragraph and merely on the same Douglas' article to his without saying who wrote it and where it was taken? And he probably be devoting all his energies by this in staving off a double legal legislation from the Douglas and the London Daily Express; as it is, Mr. Dougherty's introduction has the requirements and saved him from that. The charge is obviously that Mr. Bain took Mr. Dougherty's introduction and made it appear as his own article at the end that he prefaced it with some very bad English which made it a causal glance appear to have been written by a great English journalist. do, now sum up by adjustly. ledge, do now sum up by introduction first?

It is ever thus, the old and the new, the aged and the young. What a glorious thing is youth. Youth is one thing with the mystery of its importance. Youth is dormant spring, rushing impetuously, heedlessly, thoughtlessly, enthusiastically into the golden heat of the summer sun. Will it rush recklessly and beheaded, thoughtlessly or will it heed the warning signals of Age. Wisdom and Experience? Where age is concerned, youth is too often cruel, heedless, careless, forgetful and ungrateful. Where youth is bored, unattractive, bearing, unsympathetic, dogmatic, scurrious and fault finding. Youth is inclined to conceit, it thinks the world needs fixing and that its spec- sibilities is to fix it. Later on youth is assigned to it. Later on before it got here. Age is inclined towards crimicism. It has lived long enough to learn that it hasn't cut much of a figure. That so many of young people are compulsive, in the first flush of confident youth, are sill undone. That NEW DOUGLAS THEATRE 'AMERICA'S LEADING COLORED THEATRE' LAFAYETTE 7TH AVENUE 132 ST. for all the wisdom it has acquired there is yet so much to learn. That life is really so short that one just needs to learn. You want to live for when the Old Man and the hourglass and the scythe come snapping around. There should never be a conflict between Age and Youth. They should make great teammates. But Youth should make great teammates. You get to get a hearing aid tell. Youth how mistakes and pitfalls, but Youth says: "Go chase yourself, you old has-been, you failed in some of the mistakes attempted because you didn't know your nerve. I tell you how it should be done. So Youth goes on its merry way. It stumbles, it falls, it gets bruised, it makes the same mistakes as you did when you youth, until it at last comes to old age back to often say: "If I had only listened." Age is inclined to be over-cautious. It tries to play for sure-things, it is not to ask a gamble. It often lacks empathy with the wane. When Age reaches this period, it is that the confidence. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1929 Edited by Romeo L. Dougherty enthusiasm, courage and ambition of youth is most needed. And at that age, you need to be able to Youth need a stabilizer. Youth should employ Age as a sort of gyroscope to prevent the loss of its equilibrium. A sort of check rein. Nothing takes the place of experience. Youth should draw on your reservoir of wisdom and experience. If Youth could ever vision old age, it might perhaps be more considerate, have more sympathy and exercise more kindness towards old age. But it might not stop. Once into the future, one day, old age slips up behind Youth and tags it on the back and says: "You're it!" Then it knows. It is pathetic to watch Age stand helplessly by, while Youth makes missteps. But makes age greater. But has learned its lesson. It stands mute rather than risk being insultingly called an old fossil, an old-timer, or a has-been. I meet many old-timers on the street from the school of theatrical experience, and the burden of their cry is: "They won't give me a chance." Perhaps this is as it should be; but it is hard on the old-timer. The old-timer and he could not position to employ youth. He should dictate, not supplicate. The youth in the theatrical business seems to be more keen about credit than about the credit for its work with the old-timer. In other countries, the aged in the theatrical world are revered for their have some, if not all, of betrayal and are revelled.

Interest in the home of the home are wide open to them and there is no danger of the "welcome" on the door mat biting their ankles when they cross the door-sill. Yet one of the ways entertained a genuine affection, said to me: "I don't mind working the benefit, and I would do most anything for the association, BUT, those organizations won't give us young fellows a chance. They want to run everything, ete." Nothing could be farther from the truth. The young fellow in question has never my knowledge the museum has. I meet a meeting. I find that most of the criticism directed at the organization comes from those who have no intimate knowledge of its affairs and are the younger set in the theatrical business will join, they can have the freedom of the home for their parties, dances and teas, and if any of them are interested in the older heads will be delighted to step down and turn over to them the affairs of the association.

Which, to our way of thinking, proves that Mr. Dancer is not acquainted with the demands of a period which he has been living in. Maud deeve. Among other things Mr. Dancer also points out that the singing of the chorus of the present day is superior to that of the past. If there is one thing which is when we hear it, it is the presence of present day revue choruses singing better than those trained young women who had to meet the exacting demands of men like Bill Elkins and a host of others whose ability to perform a particular line of work is questioned. Everything where the chorus of the present day is concerned is proof positive of the great change brought about by the late World War. Before that terrible calamity and earlier, more than ever, the war, williams and Walker, the Smart Set Company headed by the late Ernest Hogan, and others of the period, art had a great deal to do with the present day revue choruses singing the music of such as Will Marlon Cooke had to come pretty near singing. The violence of jazz is noted in our revues and if there is a chorus of color who sings it, it is to the satisfaction of Bill Elkins, Will Cooke and their kind, we are prepared to eat last summer's straw hat in explication of whatever Mr. Dancers claim. As proof of our contention note how the touch of the old-timer is evident in those shows which have found unusual favor on Broadway. *Porsy* engineered by Ceil Mack, better known today as R. C. McPherson, did a great deal towards making of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" the success it turned out to be. The band called for the training of the people to sing harmoniously, which reminds one that it was the kind of singing the dancing choruses of the shows of the 1950s, to bring to those productions. Men like J. Rosmond Johnson had studiously acquired the art of harmony and their ears could not stand the vioce of the music. It was noted in present day so-called singing. The truth of the matter is that our revue choruses are gathered for looks and looks primarily, song numbers and songs, and the producers being concerned about their singing—especially since the numbers are right in keeping with the times and devoid, in the majority of cases, of those things which make up the real musical productions of real musical productions by Negroes to look back and recall that poor indeed was the show which could not boast of a number of tunes hit which set audiences to a theatre even on the first night. The musical end of the best of present day offerings are of such an inferior calibre that if one number stands out in an entire show one number seems to stand out something, and that in the face of J. Leubrie Hill not only writing a production, but supplying all the numbers with eight out of ten being unfulfecible they instantly bring back even today. The nearest approach to anything worth while came with "Shuffle Along" and the "Plantation Revenu" but let us not forget that the do-will happen had a great deal to do with Henry Creamer, Cecil Mack, Bill Vowell, Will Marton Cooke, J. Rosamond Johnson, Bill Elkins, Tim Brynn, Prof. J. Lawrence Freeman, professor Eugene Mellk and a host of the contents of this writer. Whitney and Tutt, coming in almost on the tail end of that artistic period when the public demanded a story to be entertainingly carried to the end, arrived in New York one fall before the ductions and before the week was out had Harlem whistling and singing almost every song number of the show. An age without the violence once in music in the present day, when the unusual relish the numbers bring to the home consumption, for around the piano in the superior atmosphere of the home those songs voiced the sentiments of 'young swains and charming lassies, and father and used to sit listening while looking at their friends with amusement and their friends with approval. Even the chorus drill, with its funnel melodies, was something that brought joy to the soul, something of the presence confounded with the stuff of the present. But does not even try to follow, the lines come from the chorus being uninfeitable, many of the young ladies mouthing their contribution of the song, the heart have we believe is singing. The energy needed in the twisting, shaking, and marooching chorus of the present has left this end of our entertainment breakthrough one wonders how anybody can breathless one wonders the noise they make for singing. And even among chorus men when they do appear, we find them so lacking. We are not speaking of those men gathered together on rare occasions, standing alone, but the dancing and socializing boys. Why. We who could never sing a note anywhere near harmonious, could we supply the steps, would be among the gentry known as chorus men, who still runs through us when we realize they would have come to us for daring to entertain a job in the days of Williams and Walker. No. brother Maurice, you are very much mistaken if you think violent chorus, with its so evident stuff of the present day revue, can be a stunt, rather those things which they have to do to dare to stand behind an Alfa Walker. The times are entirely of art events on artistic presentations, one in the theatre, and it is natural that chorus would be in keeping with the in the old days even us fellows on the ROYALTY GREETS LITTLE AMERICAN DANCER Was Chorus Girl of Past Inferior to Present Chorines?

Queen Victoria and other members of the royal family were present. After the King and Queen received Little Ethet, together with her mother, Mrs Jones, and her manager, Sidney Garner, and compliment her. Five years ago little Ethet was dancing the Charleston on the streets of Paris, and she played the highest paid child artist in the world. Her salary is $750 a week. After leaving Berlin, where she was the hit of the Wintergarten for six weeks, she left for the Riviera, playing there. She then went to the Casino Believe at Blairtown, where she played with Sam Wooding and his band. While she appeared at a party given by the King, she was later highly complimented by him.

And in her life off the stage she is indigenous and full of love and sympathy, her steady manner of speaking, her interesting chatter, her large eyes, full of expressive force, show a brain well organized." "I ask her how she likes Spain. She tells me among other things that she is interested in bullying. Yes, she was at the bullfight wearing, like the other tenoritas, a small Spanish shawl. She says that she has a great admiration for Manuel Laland (the toreador) whom she thinks is the bravest man in the world—an opinion on which Mr. Garner is silent; we do not know whether his interest in the bulls is less than that of Miss Esther's or whether he is thinking of his fine new hat that little Esther, in a moment of enthusiasm, snatched off his head and threw into the ring, and which he was not able to salvage." "Later we walked out into the street while little Eloise told me her impressions of the great cities of Europe she has visited during her artistic engagement corner of the hotel we passed the open door of the kitchen and the fine aroma of truffled fish came to our nostrils; then the delightful little person said to the countries I know Spain has the relentless cooking in the meat and I am much wertled. "I had been talking with her for more than an hour, but it was at that moment I saw in Little Eloise the woman in the courthouse she is only ten, the woman in her in the house. She has more than fifty dresses and is frightened because she has gained a few pounds or a few grains of weight. To her manager, Mr Carageen he is a correct gentleman of color who looks after her with exquisite solicitude." El Tiempo says: "Little Eloise sings with much grace and talent, adding more and then some comic items that are worth of being flashed on the screen. "The public laughs, everybody laughs." The New York Amsterdam News and so does the small artist, to whom all surrender themselves unconditionally. Now she dances, her feet rhythmically marking the time of the number. She has finished and the theatre is ringing again with applause. "Little Esther has triumphed and with her the whole company has triumphed. She has finished her acting and she returns to pressing room. Again she is the child, and this tall white dog sleepy near its owner—wife of the leader of the orchestra. The dog does not bark. It turns its sleepy eyes to the small artist as if it were sleeping in sympathy. "When we left the pressing room thoughts of the great little artist remained with us, and we recalled the remark of the old porter who works behind the scenes: 'What a child, What a child!'" "Yes, little Esther is truly a great artist." She was recently filmed by a leading movietone news agency while on a visit to the Ministry of War, where she met Spanish dictator, Gen. Primo de Olivez. She is besieged with offers to appear on the stage and in the films. After a two months' tour of some of the leading cities of Spain, she will re-visit Berlin to all contracts made while the manager manages her, too, but it will be four years more before she will be able to comply with the English age limit.

We admit that we do smile within. There are times when we even laugh uproarfully to ourselves, and the only indication of the joy within us is a haggish look in the selflessness in being able to benefit out of benefit of personal company and enjoying a good show. However, no matter how graciously we try to appear modest and with becoming gestures that we are what you think, we are what you have reached this day when from the wholesome atmosphere of a loving home and God-fearing and highly respectable parents should come the voice of so with creature proclaiming an opinion with creature hope to merk in time to come.

ROMEO L. DOUGHERTY WHENEVER we meet a person of whom we have heard much we find that almost immediately we have formed some kind of an opinion of our own about the person. Not so long ago we had the opportunity of seeing the dramatic and sports editor of the Amsterdam News. Some one asked what we thought of Romeo I. Dougherty. . . . To us he seemed a rather serious type of a performer, a quiet, slow and studied talker. When he talks he says something that he can only be worth listening to that "the worst-ever" of many prominent people of today is conspicuous by its absence in Mr. Dougherty's case. The smile with this gentleman is very rare and yet . . . when it does "happen" it changes his appearance by a "whole lot". He is, too, a musician . . . a "bookworm," and, as with most artists, literary people generally, sculptors, painters and musicians . . . the smile and the song is within . . . it is in the heart. . . . We admire among some of things connected with this writer of Amsterdam News his perfect English . . . great while does he depart from things correct and indulges in a bit of slang (of which yours truly is so fond) . . . but very seldom does it break through into anything coming from Mr. Dougherty's pen. . . HAVE we, then, acquired the art of camouflage to such perfection that we could mislead a very intelligent, enlightened and well meaning young artist, young musician and ashes for the sins we have committed. Jack of a number of instruments and master of none, Miss Simon has been misled into believing that we could sing in the theatre with the little lady, but it will be the beet laft handed Prof. Eugene Mikel, our patient teacher, who hasn't heard of the theatre since that night when from the stage he Theatre we singled him out for a joke which, even though we admit it, was artfully planned as something to go into the good graces of a happy audience.

We do not deny that we thrill to the opinion of so charming a representative so much inspiration for them as furnished so much inspiration for them as furnished so do, but the records for future generations must ring clear with truth. We must stamp by our look, that stamp being acquired by us, to sume a dignity which we have been assured goes with the title behind our eyes, the quiet, slow and studded manner that we love your faithful admirer when he Revue and Playlet Score at the Alhambra RENAISSANCE CASINO Seventh Avenue-138th Street Performance Broadway & 39th St. December 15, at 8:30 ATRICAL ASS'N, Inc.

THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1929 Radio News and Programs BY RICHARD L. BALTIMORE Poor Tones The acoustics of the room in which the radio receiver is placed influences to some extent the fidelity of the sound of the instrument. Dead spots, or places where waves from different directions meet and neutrally each other, must be bound back and forth from wall to wall or from ceiling to floor of sound waves. If you do not believe these acoustical faults exist, try talking or playing a musical instrument in an unfurnished room or house. The echo is due to the presence of no objects furniture, drapeps or curtains, to absorb the sound. Rough-Conted Wall Helps. According to Clifford E. Stevens of the Stevens Manufacturing Corporation, a room, should be well furnished. Rugs, draperies, curtains and table covers help, as should one or more ones. Otherwise, a rough-coated wall is better than a smooth one and a dull, dark finish better than a glossy light one. Beamed ceilings and brick fireplaces are assemble. The should be piano or string instruments in the same room as the radio. The strings of such instruments, representing the frequencies of the sounds emanating from the loud speaker, are vibrated, storing the sound from the vibration. If a loud speaker placed near a piano and the radio suddenly turned on one may hear the piano strings quite clearly. If a piano must be in the same room its soft pedal vibration is heard. If a speaker should face a curtain or other absorbing material. And since waves go out from the back of the speaker as well, it would no harm to have a tapestry on the wall behind the cone. The speaker liable to muffle in answer to their natural frequencies should be avoided. Since radio manufacturers cannot cater to the individual characteristics of each home, home acoustics must be met by the owner.

Unity in Business Urged Upon Harlem Co-operation was the keynote of an address by Clarence Kelsey, white, president of the Church of the Guarante, and Trust Community, 16 Broadway, to a group of business men, ministers and social workers of Harlem, at a luncheon given last Wednesday by the Harlem League of the Greater New York Federation of Churches at the Hotel Belmont, Fort-second street and Park avenue. "Lack of co-operation," said Mr. Kelsey, "was the cause of the failure of the Vincent sanatorium in Harlem. The community did not support Vincent and if the church is to have a promotion of business in Harlem the spirit of working together must prevail." Horatio S. Hill, secretary of the Harlem League and religious worker at Abyssinian Baptist Church, said: "Of the 25,000 children in Harlem under twelve, less than 10,000 of them receive any religious education. Harlem has one leadership training school and thirteen week-day church schools. In these schools over 1,000 men are employed but many others are needed." Dr. William Millard, white, executive secretary of the New York Federation of Churches, attributed the failure of many of the Harlem churches and other churches of the city to carry on constructive social programs national, characteristic and demi- clarity dances.

Baker, secretary of the Harlem League, was also a speaker. "The best movements for uplift in Harlem," said Dr. Baker, an apostle of the church. "I gave the church from Harlem and it woke revert into a jungleland over night. We need in Harlem a united church program which will face the economic, educational, social and religious life." Watt Terry, leading real estate and business man of Harlem, presided at meeting of business committee was formed of the Harlem League to work with the Harlem League and Mr. Terry was unanimously elected chairman of this committee.

William Lloyd Ims, pastor of St. James' Presbyterian church. Sunday morning in his seminary to the social workers of Harlem who gathered at his church for the celebration of Social Workers' Day. Thirty social agencies of Harlem sent letters and personal representations to the meeting. "Social work," said Dr. Imes, "is the passion to help others and is not the meaning of a long and definite profession. Some of the most thankless tasks performed are the greatest pieces of true social work. In this respect, religion is not simply a great feeling of exhilaration, but the willingness to spend and to be spirit. "The true social worker," said Dr. Imes, "recognizes the value of human life. Many of its stop after we have given the needy individual a new start, but this is not enough. We must give them a new spirit. The problem is not to get the people out of the alley, but to get the alley out of the people. The Bible is the world's best textbook of social work because its doctrines are practicable for the redeeming of human life." The staffs of the West 135th street branch of the Y. M. C.

Johns, evidently a recent arrival from the West Indies, to treat humorously or, let me say, burlesque the most delightful of pastimes, baseball and cricket. The article which appeared in your newspaper, "Captioned" captioned "Baseball"; "As Seen by a British Cricket Enthusiast," was admittedly meant as a comparison of the two sports. As such, although it might be argued that it since evinced a fair knowledge of cricket and absolutely no knowledge of baseball by the writer, it scored heavily as a burlesque of the two sports or it did justice to neither of them. From the very outset the writer seemed to have lost himself, or to have forgotten the purpose of his article as set forth in his opening paragraph. He was a son of the two sports, but almost immediately launched into a caustic criticism of the one he admittedly knew nothing of; while, on the other hand, he praised in glowing terms the skills and knowledge. Such is always the case. One cannot successfully compare two subjects or two pastimes unless he knows them both quite well. Even then it is a prodigious task for the most experienced and as baseball and cricket to compare them satisfactorily. It is my impression that the two sports are so unlike in every essen- tion that they are even by the most expert in them both. Hence, the failure of the well- meaning Mr. Johns. It is futile to go further into this. Cricket, base- ball, tennis, golf, rules, which vary drastically, one from the other; yes, they defy com- parison, but who will deny that they know their cricket as I believe they know their cricket as I believe I know it, and those who know their baseball as I believe I know my baseball as I believe I know with that Nevertheless Mr. Johns did let go at that, to be sure, and I shall let go at that. Now, Mr. Editor, it is my impression that you know well enough the importance of the team that I cannot hope to suggest that you change your methods of handling certain branches of sport; that you know how to respond should like to ask that you look upon cricket with more favor. I shall not charge that you do not give enough space to cricket; nor shall I suggest you respond to your team, or respond on your staff; but I do observe that Harlem, being a community heavily populated with West Indians, enters to the athletic tastes of that section of the community. Cricket is always news to West Indians whethen you come home or abroad. It would therefore be on your part to ferret out the latest happenings in the cricket world and serve them, on and off season, to the part of your circulation an enormous part of your circulation. The writer is in a position to know that throughout the provinces of cricket, cricketers keep the edge to the ground in an effort to find out what is happening in the New York cricket world. They are interested. The team who resides here. They are interested. They are played in the provinces of Canada. Won't your paper be a medium between these people and a source of cricket information to those who reside? Yours was a gracious gesture in permitting the humorous comparison by Mr. Johns. Even that helps. It gives people a feeling and this compels a discussion of the sport and, finally, action. Editor's Note: The author of The Amsterdam News was the first to attempt to stage cricket games in a large way in New York and secure Geneva Oval for a game between Geneva and dersers and a team representing Howard University. The occasion was made auspicious by the Honorable John C. McCarthy, the president of the Port of New York, starting the proceedings at the oval. Too, The Amsterdam News has carried more cricket games and the players residing in country than all the other papers combined and will try to make things more interesting next summer.

Bob's wrecking won by the safe margin of 61 to 44. The fact that the Russians were able to score 44 points shows that they had men in their lineup capable of winning the chance. They caught the Rens in a playful and charitable mood Sunday night, and it was well, for had it been otherwise the colored champs under them with a one-sided score. The Russians started off like they meant business, securing the first basket of the game. Salkh immediately signal for the high scoring machinery of the Rens to get under way. The next few minutes baskets were flying when through the air, and when the smoker Rens had a lead of 22 points to 4 for the visitors, with only half of the first frame played.

He was for the interest of the Negro players under the genial "Bob" Douglas. Things haven't been going so well with the once great Celtic team, which the greatest wholesale cleanup and management which sought to have the majority of the men of the Renaissance team playing under different colors, and the greatest wholesale cleanup with the greatest Celtic team. Basketball League team took place last week when Manager Jim Furey of the Celtics sold or released almost every member of his team and relied on the other combination of young players. Realizing that he would never be able to organize a combination that would equal the Original Celtics, he decided that he would rebuild entirely. The failure of the team was not so much mechanical as it was financed. The team attempted to at the Garden were cheap hops and the Garden list was, too much, even to run. Braddock Sent Warren To Canvas Six Times James J. Braddock, New Jersey light-heavyweight, moved into the heavyweight class last Saturday night by knocking out Jack Warren of Chicago, the second round of the ten-round bout at Ridgewood Grove show. Warren went down to the canvas for the count six times before he took the final toll from Referee Johnny McAvoy. Brown, 146, created a favorable impression, knocked out Joe Manny in two minutes and ended of the first round of the semifinal. In the best bout of the evening, Johnny King, 126%, outpointed Sid Silva. The other four-round results follow: Dave Brown, 117, knocked out Hawes, 114, second round; Willie Hines, 132%, outpointed Joe LaPucca, 133%; Sonny Schwartz, 146%; outpointed Teddy Martin, 141%; Bruno 169%, in the second round Joe Marks, 161%, outpointed Lois Lefkowitz, 16, and Eddie Corda, 122, outpointed Fred Raymond, 121.

Nat Holman, considered the greatest player of all time, and Stretch Mechan, Celtic pivot, were sold to Syracuse. Dave Banks was sold to the Philadelphia proviso that Beyong Borgmann Fort Wayne star, would be released to Paterson. Johnny Beckman had previously been sold to Cleveland, where he was sold to the Philadelphia proviso. Of the remaining players there will be an attempt to retain Bill McElwain and Jack Grimmins, provided he is not doubtful, therefore, if McElwain will agree, preferring rather to play independent ball in the neighborhood of New Haven, where he now lives. Harold McElwain received his unconditionall release. Most of these players are well known locally. Those who will probably be in the Gentic line are Paul Fred Kundestadt, Bils Bergmann, Todd Calland and Harold Johnson. Manager Furley will probably also use Willie McDonald and Jack Crimmins. There were rumors of trouble in the first two weeks when the first games were played in the Garden. It is estimated that close to $20,000 was dropped during the first two weeks of the league campaign and the drain became so severe that promoters that they were unable to meet their payroll two weeks ago.

West Point Cavalry Loses Opening Game to Monarchs (By AUBREY J. CARPENTER.) PATERSON, N. J., Dec. 8. A fast, sensational game was played between the Cavalry and the Monarch big "5" at Nous Hall here on Thursday evening (Thanksgiving). At the end of the first half the score was 18 to 2 in favor of the Monarchs. Before the end of the third quarter the Cavalry boys caged seven field goals. From then on the Monarchs played even more three minutes to play the last quarter the West Pointers outplayed their rivals, leading by 28 to 25. Time was called out for the Cavalry with one minute to play. Charlie White, Cavalry's star forward and captain, scored 16 points and the ball remained in the Monarchs' possession until the final score, 33 to 23. The Cavalry lost the game after fighting against heavy odds. Coming off a win over the Bulldogs and leading by three points brought them great applause. The house was apparently forgetting their home team, so engrossed were they over Cavalry's great determination to win. Both teams displayed sportsmanship and great team work. They were on the defensive with height, except that "Big" Benefield, Cavalry's center, stood several inches above them all. In the first quarter Benefield had a tough time over Cavalry, but the court most of the period all over the court most of the period. This is the first game the Monarchs have won out of four played.

Wills Deluged With Offers On Eve of Comeback Fight Harry Wills, the Black Panther, is practically deluged with offers from out-of-town promoters contingent upon his success in his comeback from the Astorico Mexican heavyweight, at the New York York Seum in the Bronx tomorrow night. Al Weill, matchmaker of the New Haven Arena, yesterday made Wills an attractive offer to box Buddy Mack of the Boston Garden is eager to pit Wills against Jim Maloney or Ernie Schaff. In addition, Wills is proud displaying telegrams he received from Philadelphia and Scotty Montieth, in Philadelphia and Scotty Montieth, matchmaker of the Olympia A. C. in Detroit, in which both promoters wished him success in his new endeavor and at the same time advised own terms to box local heavyweights.

I. A. A. championship quintet prepares to defend its title. The Washington lads came full of fire and displayed a scrappy offense up until the final whistle, but it was too late. The team passes and accurate forwards. Of Miner Normal's 18 points, Cawthorne amassed 10, while Hunt starred for Hampton, hanging up 12 poles and showing some skillful passing. Cawthorne popped a goal in the second half, as soon seconded by Hunt. For the next ten minutes the two teams played nip and tuck, the score being 5-8 in favor of Miner. At this juncture Cotton, Williams, Alexander and McGowan, all experienced scrimmage, went in. With everybody covering the half whistle sounded on a 20-7 game. Hunt, Clay, Coles, and Gregory, a new man, with Captain "C" Taylor, a second man, withAMPON and Cawthorne, all open for the scoring, but Taylor came back to register his second goal for the game. Both teams were playing a speedy game, with the team's clever footwork and passing, while "Bear" Clay played a masterful guard, keeping the fast 123-pound ball out of reach. Hunt scored eight points about ten minutes and was relieved by Cotton, while Alexander moved into the place of Gray, a substitute for Morrison, in the half had gone in for Clay. The visitors fought the last ten minutes as if they were determined to tie or win and in the last thirty seconds Cawthorne rung up another. He changed things to 34-15, one too, gave the Hampton coaching staff an excellent chance to try out some of its new material and Gregory, Lyle, Coles, Young and Harris each received five minutes playing time. The latter scored once each and gave promise of genuine worth. For a real fighting game this one can easily qualify, for it was replete with thrills even though the score indicates an uneven match.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1929 Edited by Romeo L. Dougherty A WONDERFUL NIGHT FOR A WONDERFUL CAUSE LEARN TO DANCE STAGE AND SOCIAL DANCES PROF. DARLING MACK'S STUDIOS 104 WEST 136th ST. Phone Brad. 6459 The Amsterdam News Dance and All Star Show at Rockland Palace promises to be and will be a success, but the sponsors of the affair are worrying about just how big a success this night will be. This must be the biggest affair of its kind ever. It will cost $1,000, $2,000 have been realized at benefits- this one must net several thousands of dollars. It is the duty of the fortunate part of the community to help the unfortunates who are in want and a look at the list of those who need Christmas baskets would convince the most person who thinks that it is the time to buy a ticket for Friday night, Dec. 20. At least $5,000 is needed to guarantee the poor of Harlem Christmas dinners, and anyone who sits down to a big dinner Christmas day knows that something to relieve the suffering of those who are destitute, will surely eat with a troubled conscience. Entertainers of all kinds are offering their services, and many kiddies will do their bits to entertain those who are destitute. Gertrude Young Robinson will bring a class of her kiddies to Rockland to perform. Masters Paul White Jamaica Athletes Made Good Showing at Park The Jamalae South Side Branch Y. M. G. A's team made history for themselves and the colored people of Jamalae by winning second place in the Brooklyn and Queens Metropolitan senior boys' cross country races, held at Prospect Park, Brooklyn, on Thanksgiving Day. Eastern District Branch Y. M. G. A. took first place. The Jamalae Southside Branch is one of the two colored branches that are of the Central League and one of the Central League and is the baby of all the branches, being only about four months old. The team was composed of Gilbert Mayer, captain; Freddie Lloyd, James D. C. Moore, captain; Falconer Watts and Walter Morris. Horace Day was safety man. The Howard and Reggie Emmett have put their names on the Amsterdam News list of performers. "Four Dusty Trawler Quartette" was the first, male to volunteer and Mr. Small of Smalls Paradise is allowing the management to use any part of his revue that is wanted. The band, a halter tenor singer, writes in he wants to help, and Billie Plume is bringing some surprise to Harlem from downtown. Several bands and orchestras will play and the music will be carried on from early Friday evening until. The above is just a slight idea of the program, but it must be borne in mind that plenty of time will be devoted to them. Who are who are will not wait until the last minute to reserve their logo or box, but will phone or come into The Amsterdam News office immediately. The phone number is 212-765-7890, followed by cash. Boxes are $5 and seat four and six persons. Logos on the lower floor are $3. General admission is $1. Money taken in will be used for burning baskets. Only actual expenses will be deducted. first five men in order above named determined the team's rating. Secretary Fred Johnson reports that Harry W.

DECEMBER 11. 1929 Philadelphians Go Down Fighting Athenians Five Trip Commandeurs Before Large Gathering Last Week BALTIMORE. Md., Dec. 8.—A field goal by T. Brown, who substituted for Sheffey in the last minute of play, gave the Baltimore Athenians a 22-15 victory over the Commandeurs of Philadelphia, Pa., last Friday night at the New Alberts Hall before a very large crowd. With the score deadlocked 15-15 and just about a minute to play, the diminutive foul was rushed into the game. Dick Whittington of the Athenians outjumped Chick Edwards and Brown brought the ball of the scrimmage. With the crowd in an uproar he dribbed down the side of the slippery floor. Fearing foul this midget, the Commandeurs him go, but kept between him and the basket prepared to block, any tempted thrust at the basket. Brown somehow or there deceived all the Commandeurs and twisted beneath his own basket and shot. The ball went in. The crowd went wild. Now the score stood: Athenians, 17; Commandeurs, 15. On the top tap off Brown got the ball again. But he was fouled immediately. He also made this goal good. A second later Wyatt snatched the ball out of a scrimmage and shot a field goal. In an attempt to block him he also was fouled and he scored both goals as the final whistle sounded. One of the greatest and wildest celebrations ever to be staged here followed the game. A record crowd, as stated before, turned out to see the game. And the Commandeurs received a big hand when they trotted on the floor. Several noted sport writers were present and received quite a treat. The Afro-American newspaper of this city took the picture of the Commandeurs just before the initial tap off. Atheninns (22). G.

Harry Smith, who won the Negro middleweight championship from Jack McVey two weeks ago, meets Billy Kohut of Mitchell Field in the semi-final, while the first ten brings together Black Bill, recent conqueror of Eugene Huat, and Frankie Lattanzio, Bronx flyweight. Wills has had only one bout since his K. O. at the hands of Paulino Uzedun and oddly enough it was with this same Castano, who won on a foul in two rounds in Mexico City two months ago. The latter saw great possibilities after that victory, which he claims was not a fluke. We sink his right hand into the hole of Willson's stomach at the time this time he will knock out the Negro with a punch that will leave no doubt that he will have to be reckoned with in the heavyweight division. The policy of the new board of directors of the Bronx Amphitheatre calls for a weekly series of popular priced bouts interspersed with an occasional stand-out attraction. Alan Ghill, president of the club, says the event should be supported this movement to say nothing of the accessibility of the arena for those fans residing above and below the Harlem River. Douglass Junior High Wins Borough Basketball Title Frederick Douglass junior basketball team for 1829 won the championship of upper Manhattan and the Bronx last Tuesday, when the team defeated Creston Junior High in a playoff game at P. S. 171, Manhattan, before a gathering of over 1,000 rookies from both schools. The team was undefeated in coached by the veteran George R. Ralston, who has developed and turned out more championship combinations than any other school coach over a span of twelve years. This is Douglass fourth borough title in five years under his direction. The 1829 squad: G. Brown, captain, center J. Trottman, forward J. Dixon, center J. Dixon, forward C. Mitchell, forward H.

Harry Wills to Meet Castano in Comeback Stunt JOHNSON BROTHERS NO MATCH FOR COLLEGIANS The Johnson Brothers' Five of Hoboken, N. J., were no match for the New York Collegians last Saturday night at the Albambra Ballrooms and went down to defeat by the score of 56 to 33. This team, comprising of four brothers and one outsider, showed good promise at the start of the game right away for a hold the Collegians in minutes of the first half but the Collegians soon got limber up, and when they started popping them in the Johnson Brothers' entente petered out. Romney and Holt were both in rare shooting form, and largely through their efforts the Collegians opened up a big league dash that ended the first half 33 to 13 in their favor. The Johnson family made a better showing in the second frame, but this was brought about because the Collegians stopped shooting, and there content to pass the ball around. The CollegiansGod of most every opportunity after that, with the result that they scored 20 points in the second half. Bill Johnson secured five floor goals, and Charlie and Carl each got three aplee. For the Collegians, Rcmney, with six floor goals and one foul, and Holt, with six double deckers, both starred for their team. Next Saturday night the Collegians are having an undefeated combination of college stars as their opponents, which include such sterling performers as Howard and Smith of New York University, Mator of St. Bad Day for Carlton Ave. "Y" Last Saturday Three of Carlton's representative teams suffered defeat on last Saturday. The senior boys' team, playing 135th Street Boys at Carlton, lost by the score 32-21. The floor work of the Harlemites and the eagle eye of Hanks and Bourne were too much for the Carlton boys. Carlton Y. M. D. juniors, playing the feature game, versus the Red Wings of New York, were defeated by the score of 28-16. The Red Wings' passing game proved to be a little faster and more accurate than Y. M. D.'s, as well as their ability to break through their defense. Carlton Big Five, playing at Brooklyn Central, were defeated in a very fast game by a score of 32-28. At half time Carlton was on the lower end of scoring, having made 10 points in the first half, but the second half displayed better teamwork and shooting, but were unable to take the lead from Central. Carlton opened up with very fast passing and were able to break through Central's defense during the last two minutes' of plan, but it was too late POINT SUMMARY.

There will be held on Friday evening of this week the first in a series of lobby sings. At this time the Brooklyn Choral Club will be introduced. The general public is invited to attend. The initial dance held on Friday evening, Dec. 6, by the Dormitory Club was a great success. Under the able direction of Charles Kellar, secretary of the club, the arrangements were made.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1929 Classified Advertisements First Prize Winner in Choir Contest THE SCHOOL Woman Goes Free; Man to Face Jury --- James Martin, 22, 53 West 128th street, was held in $1,000 ball for the Grand Jury by Magistrate Goodman in Harlem Court last Wednesday when assigned on a charge of felonious assault made by Lawrence Wilson, 2158 Path avenue. Wilson's wife, Mary, 22, who was arrested with Martin and arraigned on a charge of acting in concert with Martin in the stabbing of her husband, was discharged. According to the story told by Detective Ross of the West 128th street station, Mrs. Wilson was separated from her husband and went to live in the apartment, where she acted in an effort to effect a reconciliation. An altercation ensued and he was saddled about the head, face and body. In the struggle that ensued Martin was stabbed in the back and both he and Wilson were removed to Harlem Hospital. Wilson when questioned accused both his wife, Mrs. Wilson as the time admitted that she had stabbed her husband because she feared he had come to attack her. She further said that Martin was accidentally stabbed when he tried to separate them. In court yesterday Wilson testified that Martin had inflicted the injuries upon him and that his wife had not with the attack. Martin testified that he had stabbed Mrs. Wilson when Wilson called. The latter sought to separate them. Martin said, and was accidentally stabbed. The magistrate then discharged Mrs. Wilson and held Martin for the Grand Jury. Views Purchasing Power As Medium for Advance Purchasing power is the medium through which the Negro consumer can achieve recognition and demand more employment for his patronage. Albon L. Holsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, told an audience Sunday at the Young People's Conference at the West 135th street branch of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Holsey declared that agitation and petition are of no avail in obtaining relief. While the consumers are facing their problems, said the speaker, the business men have a group of equally serious ones to face. Men and women must equip themselves for the purpose of creating business opportunities, to attract and hold customers, he said. Recognition from whites engaged in trade and commerce will come with the use of efficiency on the part of the Negro Mr. Holsey asserted. Miss Elmo Uggams, soprano, and the Nazarene Chorus of Nazarez Congregational Church offered the musical program at the meeting. Two Discharged by Court On Lack of Complainants Two Discharged by Court On Lack of Complainants The failure of their accusers to appear and press their complaints resulted in the discharge of two men arraigned Sunday on charges of assault before Magistrate Goodman in Washington Heights Court.

Lad Goes to Grand Jury In Police Stabbing Row Claude Nelson, 16, 224 East 127th street, who is alleged to have stabbed Policeman Blackmore of the East 128th street station, was held in $1,000 ball for the Grand Jury when arraigned Thursday on a charge of felonious assault before Magistrate Goodman in Harlem Court. On an additional charge of possessing a knife with a blade longer than allowed by law, in violation of the Sullivan Law, Nelson was held in court in Special Sessions.

Shot by Cop, Man Held for Hearing Wesley Wilkens, 24, 51 West 130th street, who was shot by Detective Farrington of the Westchester avenue police station on Nov. 9, was brought from Bellevue Hospital, where he was conditioned as a result of his injuries and assigned a charge of felonious assaults before Goodman in Harlem Court on Friday. Detective Farrington, on Friday, was suspended from duty shortly after the shooting when found to be inmolested and unfit for duty by a police surgeon, was present in court. Wilkens was arraigned by Detective King of the West 123d street station. He pleaded not guilty to the charge and was held in $1,000 bail for a further hearing. Wilkens is charged by Farrington with attempting to attack him with a knife in a speakeasy at 385 Lenox avenue. The suspended detective is alleged to have informed his superior officers that he visited the speakeasy in search of a man wanted for homicide. He was questioning Wilkens when the latter drew a knife and attempted to attack him, he charges. Farrington alleges that he was obliged to shoot Wilkens in order to defend himself.

Koenig Insults Harlem Koenig Insults Harlem THE PRESTIGE of the Republican party in New York City is hard enough to keep up as it is, and Chairman Samuel Koenig is making it harder. Harlem is one of the few strongholds of the Republicans, yet Koenig has deliberately slapped Harlem's face. IN THE RECENT city campaign four Republicans were elected to the Board of Aldermen. Two of them were Negroes from Harlem, John C. Hawkins and Fred R. Moore, both of whom have been Aldermen before. The other two, white men, were elected for the first time. This situation created much attention, for, according to the time-honored rule of seniority, it meant that a Negro would be the minority leader in the legislative department of the New York City government. There was considerable speculation as to which of the colored men, Hawkins or Moore, would be chosen. As Moore had at times been rebellious and Hawkins had always been a regular party man, Hawkins seemed to have the better chance. KOENIG, the party boss, chose neither. Breaking the rule of seniority, he ignored both Hawkins and Moore, and gave the minority leadership to the untried Baldwin. There is nothing against Baldwin, who may make a capable Alderman; but there is a great deal against Koenig for his insult to a race that loyally supported him in the city campaign. As long as Messrs. Moore and Hawkins remain on the Aldermanic Board they should continue to hold out for a right that clearly belongs to them. Cossacks in Haiti IKE BANQUO'S GHOST, the Haitian question will not down. Though buried under volumes of official reports of American benefits to Haiti—order established, roads built, public works undertaken, great loans secured from Wall Street, and other deodorizers—the rottenness of the American occupation of Haiti still sends forth its stench. Newspaper reports may try to make it appear that the recent bloody riot was caused by the natives' resentment at the discharge of a few dishonest Haitian clerks, but the newspapers and everyone else know that there is much more behind it. WHEN THE UNITED STATES, under Woodrow Wilson, intervened in Haiti's affairs in 1915, it was with the express intention of establishing law and order and of fitting the Haitians for self-government. Fourteen years have passed, and where is the law and order? Have the marines conducted themselves like policemen, or like a Southern mob? Every Haitian who dares speak openly has cursed the marines for their bloody brutality. Sent to teach law and order, they have behaved like lynchers. They have insulted the populace with epithets and shot them down like dogs when they resented them. Like drunkards on a spree they have riddled Haiti's proudest monuments with bullets. Like homicidal maniacs they have plunged their automobiles at high speed into crowds of women and children, reckless of whom they killed. Is this the way to teach a people law and order? THE OTHER OSTENSIBLE OBJECT of the American occupation was to fit the Haitians for self-government. But how can people learn self-government without practicing it? Under the American rule they are not permitted to practice it. The present President of Haiti sits in his palace, not by virtue of the vote of the people, but by the arbitrary appointment of the Council of State, which is dominated by Americans. In spite of the constitution requiring popular election, the people had nothing to do with it. American apologists excuse this by saying that 98 per cent of the Haitians are illiterate; but in nearby Porto Rico illiterate people are allowed to vote. And how do the Americans account for the fact that even the educated natives of Haiti are not permitted to vote? Respect for a constitution is the essence of self-government, and that respect cannot be taught by trampling a constitution. SUCH THINGS cannot be glossed over by the building of roads and bridges. The slaveholders of America, too, built roads and bridges, but that did not justify slavery. The ancient Egyptian kings built colossal pyramids with slave labor; but were these tre Corruption in the Pulpit mendous piles worth the suffering of the thousands who raised them? And what satisfaction can an intelligent Haitian take in a Wall Street loan to his country if he is forbidden to vote and is compelled, under pain of instant death, to endure the insults of every foul-mouthed marine? Of what value is the erection of imposing public works, when free speech, the ideal of America, is stamped out, when journals are suppressed and their editors thrown into jail upon the least criticism of American rule? President Hoover's intention of appointing a commission to make a real investigation in Haiti is encouraging. He is the first President to admit that there is something wrong with the American intervention. But that commission will accomplish nothing if the wrong men are chosen, men who have the Cossack spirit of the marines. Even if good men are chosen nothing will be done unless they choose the right way. But they will effect a great improvement if they will listen to the Haitian side of the trouble as well as to the American; if they will hear men like Dantes Bellegarde, if they will let the editors talk instead of clapping them into jail—above all, if they will recognize the right of the Haitians to a voice in their own government. UNLESS such an attitude prevails the present mess will continue to grow steadily worse: The moral prestige of the United States will suffer, only in Haiti but throughout the world. With blood on its own hands this country cannot consistently tell Soviet Russia to wash the blood off its hands, and Russia will continue to thumb its nose. DR. A. CLAYTON POWELL, of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, has assumed the role of a prophet of righteousness. In a recent sermon he cried out and sparred not against corruption in the Negro pulpit. In one instance, at least, he pointed the accusing finger at the culprit, proclaiming with Davidian directness: "Thou art the man." We have heard no such seething denunciation from high authority since Bishop Palne died. Booker T. Washington, at one time, took a shy at the unworthiness of the Negro pulpit, but the practical exigencies of his material task quickly caused desistance. The ordinary layman is amazed at the complacency with which ministers who will contemplate the fleshy sins of brother clergymen of notorious evil repulte. We must be careful not to indulge in wholesale condemnation. A majority of the Negro ministers doubtlessly live up to the moral requirements of their calling; but a majority is not enough. A much smaller percentage of any profession will suffice to give the whole an evil reputation. We have a right to require well-nigh 100 per I RECEIVE many questions from persons who say that they are sick of conditions in America and are planning to go to Europe to settle. While over there, I also met not a few who had come over for this purpose and at least two who had brought their families. I have stressed frequently the great folly of this, but since the question keeps recurring there seems nothing else to do but to repeat. First and foremost there is the question of language for all countries, except England. How can one expect to make his way to those tongue he does not know? How can one expect to find few, if any, of those who have gone and those who are itching to go know any other language except their own. Imagine a Frenchman or a German who does not know a word of English, coming into a group of Americans and trying to do business. One is reduced to making signs, and at best feels much embarrassed. But suppose one does speak the language, when he arrives on the other side what does he find? He finds himself in a new environment to which he must adapt himself. He must take new roots again. And this is very difficult for the American, colored or white. The American is usually the first one to kick, for living conditions are lower in the United States, with fewer schools. With the dollar, one had better say the American rate of wages, one will find things generally cheaper, but almost uniformly the quality is cheaper, too. Of course, if one is rich one can, always create competition, Europe a par with that of America. But we are speaking of those who must make a living. Let us say that one has adapted himself to the European mode of :Bu KELLY MILLER cent probity on the part of those who engage to lead us in the paths of truth and righteousness. The haste and rush with which - Kelly Miller - the ranks of the Negro ministry had to be recruited entailed many imperfections. You cannot take 40,000 men from the peasant and "America Is Best" :Bu J. A. ROGERS living. He goes out in search of work and what does he find? That "there are a thousand dogs for every bone," with himself last in the struggle; that if by some chance he was ever to get the bone, he would find, as an American, that it isn't worth the picking. Wages in European countries are from a half to one-fourth of what they are in America. And the cost of living is very high for the European. In some cases he must pay the same prices as a wage earner, although, as was said, essentials like housing are cheaper (except in England where they are about the same as in America). In fact, wages are so low in most European countries that they seem incredible. A French chauffeur in a family gets something like six wives, week, room and board in America. The family are getting forty, and out of that sum he can save proportionately much higher than the French one. A bank clerk in Paris who gets $15 a week is being well paid, for the average wage is about $8. A very good stenographer and typist is being well paid in Greek, for a foreman in a mechanical plant gets about $15. Europe today is suffering from poor economic conditions, due chiefly to the last war and overpopulation. It is staggering under the latest and the American who goes there to work must share in the load. Is it any wonder that so many Europeans cast a longing eye to the American Canaan? Let down the bars and they would be here in the United States, but countries are so filled that it will be at least five years before the names of some individuals will be reached. In 1925 I met a young Belgian who had his name on the books years later I met him again and his name had not yet been reached. I hope I have made clear the absolute inadvisibility of going to Europe in search of work. I had purposely refrained from saying I would be a foreigner must, hold a permit servile pursuits of life and thrust them into the high places of moral guidance and authority without bringing forward much of the character of their previous environment. No miracle of grace was ever witnessed from men from grossness to purity in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. Much of this grossness we had to overlook and wink at in the generation gone by. But that time has passed. The educational and moral life of the race has rapidly sponding progress in the life and conduct of our moral and spiritual leaders. The Negro church now stands at the parting of the ways. It has been the Negro's greatest asset. It must not be allowed to become his greatest, liability. Unless a sharp and sudden change is effected in the tendency of certain of our leading ecclesiastical organizations, they will be utterly repudiated by the intelligent and self-respecting young manhood and womanhood of the Negro, right ought to refuse to follow incompetency and corruption in the pulpit. Only the older half of the generation, now rapidly diminishing, will adhere to the fortunes of such an unrighteous regime; the younger and more intelligent half will be more successful. The leader must be at least as good, and ought to be better than the Is Best" from the Minister of Labor in order to get a job. In France, where there is a minimum of unemployment, he gets the job first, and then applies for the permit. The employer must then show that the ```markdown ``` - J. A. Rogers - foreigner is doing work that a Frenchman cannot ordinarily do. Foreigners doing business are compelled to employ a certain high percentage of natives. And anyone who contemplates going to Europe in search of work say so when he applies to the consulate of the particular country for a visa, and he simply would not get it. Recently an American girl, clever at stenography, told the English immigrant, Alice as Southampton that she had been working her way, and she was promptly refused permission to land. In France there is considerably more freedom. Actors, singers and others, as I understand, may land and then get permission to work, and they can get a labor permit before arriving even if they intend giving recitals. Europe, so far as the Negro is concerned, is only for those who have something unusual to offer like Roland Hayes, Paul Robeson, and many others. Ethel Waters and a few others. All the other fields are overcrowded. Howard Progress Shown in Report 2,671 Students From 38 States and 15 Foreign Countries The total enrollment of Howard University during the year 1928-29, says the annual report of that institution out today, was 2,671 students from thirty-eight States and fifteen foreign countries. They are distributed as follows: College of Liberal Arts, 934; College of Education, 836; College of Applied Science, 91; School of Music, 80; School of Religion, 282; School of Medicine, 360; School of Law., 88. At the commencement in June 277 men and women received degrees in nine schools and colleges, as follows: College of Liberal Arts, 73; College of Education, 104; Applied Science, 6; School of Music, 1; School of Religion, 3; College of Medicine, 42; College of Dentistry, 19; College of Pharmacy, 12; School of SPECIAL ARTICLES best of those he engages to lead. The college bred Negro turns away from the ministry with disgust, induced largely by the imperfections of too many of the fathers in Israel who dominate the situation, and to form the highest challenge to the intelligence, the heroes and the noble ambition of the youth who are now passing through our colleges. But the example of graft, greed, corruption, too often held up before them, offers an uninviting prospect. The priest of God takes on the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. But to witness our high ecclesiastical digitaries reveling in wealth wrested from God's poor, domineering in the exercise of irresponsible power and be labelled with charges of all forms of impurity, and see how lightly too they are treated by their sacreded vows. The church cannot be built up in this wise. Too often the people are saddled with a heavy burden of debt which they cannot liquidate for a generation in order to gratify the conceit of a wealthy leader. The layman are already in a state of revolt. The backs of the poor improwisherised membership are about to break under the staggering load of church debt. Hats off to Dr. Powell. The concession of the ministry—the silent majority—should uphold his hand. and the competition is keen, with the result that the European in almost every field is usually a more finished workman than the American. More time is taken and generally better results achieved. As a field of employment, Europe is only for the musician or the enamelist, of that work are many of these but work while others barely exist. Europe is for the tourist and those engaged in intellectual and artistic work. Along these lines it cannot be too highly recommended. There is a charm, a repose, a variety of life there that makes America seem flat and dull in comparison. Most Americans who go to Europe want to go back and work in America, but many there who would not think of returning to America to live. And we are not speaking of Negroes. As to the latter, it will have an added charm for them if they have never been out of America. They will find themselves absolutely free for the first time. But if one goes there to make his living without money to keep him there, he will find that it is one thing to have something to do with it to have something with it. This experience, by the way, is a most valuable one, for the Negro American, cooped up as he is, really never gets an opportunity to realize the power of money. As I have so often said before America is the best place I know for the Negro. I fancy that there are millions of Europeans who would be willing to change places with him, disabilities and all. This is no pleasant admission to make; so much because it gives comfort to processors because, as a group, we are too smugly content and synthetic. If the destiny that brought the Negro to America was bizarre, it is none the less powerful and he cannot escape now. His tastes in living, dress, and even in luxuries, belong to Negro workers who are content in Europe are those who come from North Africa or from lands of a lower economic level than Europe. Hence, the Negro American who intends migrating there or to Africa or almost any other country must make up his mind to sacrifice much. No freedom was ever obtained without sacrifices and it seems to me that the fittest place to make the sacrifices are here, where one is reasonably sure of getting a return and with compound interest. Law. 27. Five students received the graduate degree of master of arts. The most notable development in the professional schools of the University was the graduation of a full-time day School of Law with twenty students registered in the first year class. The president of the school also reported the receipt of $905,000 from private philanthropy, in addition to appropriations made available by the Federal Government, in varying amounts for graduate work and research, and for increases in the salaries of teachers, for scholarships for college teachers in medicine, for scholarships, for teachers in the natural sciences, for books for the natural sciences library and for the dental library, for graduate scholarships, and for other purposes. Among the most notable of these sums was a gift of $80,000 from the Julius Rosenwald Fund for the development of graduate work in research in the Department of Zoology under the leadership of Dr. E. J. Just, and a gift of $80,000 from the General Education Board for raising the salary scale for teachers in the undergraduate colleges. Of this amount, $20,715 was reported to be $3,931,058.51. Of this amount, $20,715 was the unexpended balance of appropriations from the United States Congress Keeping Fit A Health Column dedicated to the mem- ory of Dr. R Elliott Rawilins (1882-1928) By Lucien M. Brown, M.D. NEURITIS is the term used for any inflammation of a nerve or its sheath. The condition is more prevalent at this season of the year when there is a great deal of dampness and cold, and sudden changes of temperature. Neuritis may be due to exposure to cold, injury to the nerve, prolonged pressure as from a tumor, focus of infection as from the teeth and tonsils, the spread of contagious inflammation and as a complication in gout, diabetes, syphilis and poisoning by lead or arsenic. The symptoms of the disease will vary with the special nerve infected. The nerves of the head are often involved as a result of the frequency with which infection is found not only in the teeth, gums and tonsils, but along the nasal passages and the air spaces in the head called sinuses. The nerves that cause an attack of inflammation during an attack of a general cold or la gripe, and the mistake often made is to call this condition pleurisy. course of the nerve, beginning in the upper part of the leg and extending to the calf or even the sole of the foot, aggravated on walking or on sudden movement. In several cases there may be loss of pain sensation on the outer side of the leg and weakening of the muscles. The patient will usually walk on the toes, with the knee bent to avoid stretching the nerve. The successful treatment of sedation is strange to say, one of the most difficult. Neuritis of the nerves in between the ribs occurs much more frequently than does pleurisy and can be reasonably well diagnosed on careful examination. Inasmuch as inflammation of any of the nerves near the surface of the body can and does occur, the most serious form of this disease is a neuritis of the sciatic nerve, which runs behind both legs. Scolatica, the name used for this condition, is usually on one side, and is characterized by severe pain along the Dental Talks By ROY C. PROCTOR, D. D. S. BEFORE leaving the subject of "Accidents in Dentistry," there is another matter that should be coupled with it. This matter has to do with all sorts of unhappy results that may arise from mechanical or technical procedures. Two of the most common ones are here discussed. Patients are wearing full dentures for the first time, and are having difficulty with them, will sight a case of a friend who said that he had no trouble with his teeth since the day they were fitted. Such a condition actually existing is most unusual, to say the least. Many persons who are wearing dentures that appear to be comfortable are oftimes causing them great inconveniences. To mention their discomfort, even to their friends, would be embarrassing them, so they give the impression that they are not comfortable. However, with persistence on the part of dentist and patient the maximum of satisfaction can only be attained. Still further, the shape of the mouth plays a large part in Know New York State New York leads all other states in industrial output, with 36,650 factories and products worth nine and one-tenth of all industries. The employers employ more than a million workers, and pay in wages more than a billion and a half dollars yearly.

The State Health Department of New York has established anti-venom stations at Albany, Glens Falls, Binghamton, Havenstraw and New York emergency service in case of snake bites. New York State in 1932 had the second smallest percentage of divorces the country, with one to each twenty percent. Of these, 1,897 are new installers and 1,684 are subscribers moving to new locations.

In severe cases there may be loss of pain on the knee, on the upper side of the leg and weakening of the muscles.

It is both trying to physician and patient, so that, aside from the general administration of pain-relieving drugs and all forms of heat and electricity, radical measures are sometimes necessary, such as cutting down on the nerve and stretching it, or the injection of certain solutions of the root of the nerve. Neuritis is a disease which makes it imperative to see that all possible sources of infection in the body be removed when they are discovered. retention and masticating properties of the dentures. The inside of the mouth is as variable in shape as the face, and there are no two faces just all alike. There are some mouths, no matter how well the dentures are made, which never give complete satisfaction. There are the other hand, in others, dentures that are imminent, feet from every point of view give surprising satisfaction. Why? The shape of the mouth. So, after all, it is an individual equation and no undue blame should be attached to your dentist. To some patients even the denture the dental drill is a "nightmare" for a piece compared with it; and others the drill is not even annoying. When two such individuals get together and discuss dentistry, it is very likely that the dentist treating the former patient will be unjustly discredited. The patient might say, "He is a good dentist, but he doesn't and can't and can't stand it." The most sensitive patient will say, "Come to my dentist, he doesn't hurt a bit."

Where blinded by our hate war we extol, We must not unprepared enter the fray When we have sought all means the slaughter stay. If war must come!

Our wives and daughters and our virtue, too. We canst but then to our country be true. If war must come! If war must come let it not be our fault To withhold any effort that would halt The enervating influence it must bring. Though the forces of hell its praises sing. If fight we must, let right, peace we our aim. And justice to our mightiest foe acclaim, If war must come! If war must come in this silightened day. Its frightful cost will be too much to pay. To baser animals, not man to man, And on the brotherhood of man they'll stand. If war must come! If war must come, great God, relay the thought. To those contemplating the on- slaught.
