It is to be regretted that we do not take a keener interest in affairs of this kind. It means much to the participants and has a psychological effect upon the other race. Miss Heard has the distinction of being the first race graduate from the voice department of the University. Her department and poise on this occasion was much commented upon, and praised. Besides giving a very artistic and intelligent rendering of the difficult program, Miss Heard displayed a very beautiful and remarkable voice. The Misses Elizabeth Mottern and Mary Taylor ably assisted as pianist and accompanist. One Hundred Voices of Race's Best Singers on Music Week Program. On Sunday afternoon, May 20th, there gathered at the Hollywood Bowl, according to the estimate of the L. A. Examiner, 15,000 persons to celebrate the opening of Music-Week. The Red men were there and sang their quiet, tribal songs; the Polish Chorus was there and sang its songs in Polish; the school children were there and sang their especially prepared patriotic songs, musical groups from nearby towns sang their songs, and the muppetoring Negroes were there—and there strong and sang our songs, as only we can sing them. And not only did they sing jubilee and plantation melodies, but they sang a chants by Horatic Parker and the great Negro National Anthem, composed by J. Rosmond Johnson. After all was said and done Mrs. J. Carter, directress of the great afternoon program, Mr. Cadman, composer Fletcher, Mrs. Carrie Jacobs and famous song writer, Mr. Ocephalan, conductor of the Minnesota Symphony and many others, said the singing by the colored group was the high on the program. So wonderfully well did the colored group sing that they were compelled in five three successes. This splendid group of singers was directed by Mr. Elmer C. Bartlett, who directed by Browne K. Dale.

Cole, Chairman of the Trustee Board. H. B. Harris, Chairman Deacon THE AMERICAN WOODMEN HOLD MEMORIAL EXERCISES IN HON OR OF LATE HON. C. M. WHITE The Los Angeles camps of the American Woodmen conducted memorial exercises Sunday, May 27 at the First A. M. E. Church in honor of the late Hon. C. M. White former Supreme Commander of the order. Notwithstanding the fact that several other organisations held meetings at the same hour, yet a very representative audience of Woodmen and friends of the former Chieftian of Woodcraft were present at the ceremonies. The programme was very fittingly carried out and many touching tributes were paid to the memory of Mr. White. After the opening of the services by Commander L. M. Mitchell, a very praiseworthy recital of the achievements of the former Supreme Commander was made by Dr. H. T. Howles who has recently come to California from Texasarkana, Texas. The Eulogy was delivered by Prof. J. Mitchell Smith, who captivated his audience by the masterly way in which he depicted, step by step, the life of the former chieftian from the time of his birth to his death. A life size portrait of the deceased Supreme Commander White was unveiled by Prof. B. H. Graham, the State Supervisor of the Woodmen in California, whose vivid portrayal of his personal connection and intimate friendship with Mr. White was very touching. Very appropriate expressions were also made by Rev. A. M. Ward at whose former church in Denver, Mr. White was a frequent visitor, and by Prof. C. L. M. Eason who has been a personal friend of Mr. White for several years. The musical numbers which consisted of vocal solos by Mrs. Lillian Mae Williams and Mr. Chan B. Boston, a violin solo by Mr. H. A. A. well Rose and a duet by Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Graham were all beautifully rendered. OWEN'S LAST SUNDAY WAS A STRENUOUS DAY The Hon. Chandler Owen's last Sunday in Los Angeles was indeed a most strenuous day when he delivered two stirring addresses, one in the afternoon at the Independent Church and in the evening at Dogglass Temple. The Rising Tide of Color Was his subject at the Independent Church. The meeting was under the auspices of the Women's Auxiliary. Mrs. B. Princea presided over the gathering and presented Mrs. C. A. Bass in a most fitting manner, and who in turn introduced the brilliant Editor of the Messenger the Hon. Chandler Owen. Mr. Owen was at his best and truly gave one of the most inspiring, thoughtful and stirring addresses which we have ever heard. He held the vast audience spell-bound and was the recipient of an ovation at the conclusion of the same. * * * OWEN MAKES THE SHINGLES RATTLE AT DOUGLASS TEMPLE The far famed Douglass Temple on East 21st St. was crowded from pit to dome on last Sunday evening to hear the Hon. Chandler Owen, and for one hour and a half, the Messenger Editor or veritably raised the roof of this famous edifice. By far the most enthusiastic audience of his present tour was carried away by his forceful and eloquent address. Owen himself outdid all previous efforts and it was indeed a fitting olimax to his visit in Los Angeles. One long to be remembered and whenever he comes this way again he can be assured of a most hearty welcome indeed. Madison, Wis., June 8 — Amid a fusillade of bullets, John Leonard Whitefield, who is stabbed of kidnapping and killing a white policeman in Cleveland, escaped last night after being arrested in a restaurant here. Whitefield was arrested in Chelsea by patrolman Dennis Griffin on a minor charge. Later Griffin's body was found burned and partly buried.

(By The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, N. Y. June 6—Dr. W. H. Brooks, for 26 years pastor of St. Marks M. E. Church, one of the largest charges in New York City, died Friday at Annapolis, Maryland. His death came as a great shock to New York and his former congregation for he had retired only recently and was one of the most popular and influential ministers who ever pasted here. A large delegation will attend his funeral which will be held at Annapolis. Plans are on foot, for a mammoth memorial meeting to be held in New York in which all the prominent organizations of the city are expected to take part. DISTRICT ATTORNEY PLEASES MOB EASTON, Md., June 6.—"He will soon get the rope," pleaded District Atty. Butler to a mob which surged around the jail here Thursday night in an effort to lynch Thomas Bordley, Negro, who was accused to slaying Charles Todd, white, night watchman at the Easton Furniture Company. Todd's death the police say resulted from a quarrel over a dog which Bordley maintained the white man had poisoned JIM CROW ELEVA TORS FOR ATLANTA ATLANTA, Ga., June 6.—White people were urged to refrain from using elevators reserved for colored people in the sky scrapers here by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, which made the matter the subject for its lunch on last Thursday. A spirited discussion was held also on the matter of keeping hats on in elevators in which women were riding. "Colored men invariably remove their hats in the elevators set aside for them and its a devised nuisance to keep pace with their politeness," said one speaker.

MASS MEETING SUNDAY AT EIGHTH AND TOWNE CHURCH What is expected to be one of the largest and most important mass meetings in the history of the local N. A. A. C. P. will be held next Sunday afternoon, June 10, at the First A. M. E. Church, corner of Eighth and Towne. Attorney Willis O. Tyler, the matchless orator of the West, will give a profound and philosophic discussion on the subject of "Social Equality." This is a subject of great importance but generally misunderstood. Attorney Tyler is always at his best when speaking for the N. A. A. C. P. and his address Sunday afternoon will be highly illuminating. A splendid program of music will also be presented by prominent musicians of Los Angeles. The meeting will begin at 3:15 p. m., and the public is invited to come early for seats. Admission free. (By The Associated Negro Press)... Athens, Ga., June 6.—Both black and white people are migrating from Georgia. An estimated total of 100,000 persons is the number of Georgiana who have left farms in this state since January 1. Of this number the greater part is composed of black citizens, although the number of whites who have abandoned the farms is placed at above 15,000. These astonishing figures and others were compiled by county agents throughout Georgia, grouped at the Georgia State College of Agriculture, and given to the public for the first time late Monday afternoon by Dr. Andrew M. Soule, president of the Institution. In addition to the large number of individuals who have left Georgia farms and the most of those have left the state, it is found that 11,840 farms have been abandoned in Georgia since the first of last January. Placing the very low average productive value on each of these farms of $175, the average for the whole United States last year, it is seen that the least in farm production in Georgia is less than five months in $5,973,000. The actual number of Negroes who have left Georgia within the first months is estimated to be 6,400 and attributing to each of these Negroes the addition to wealth and ability of the population of the republic that has left this state in five months would be the number of a year amount to more than $900,000. THE LEADERS SEEM DISTURBED OVER THE GROWING PROBLEMS THEY ARE FACING (By The Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C. June 4—There is something mystifying about the future political attitude of Colored America. Political Wiseacres are silent. There seems nothing to do at present but think, think, think. All of the old time political dope having been miserably upset during the last two years, everyone is quite afraid to prophesy. "We don't know where we are going but we are on our way." this new psychology of Colored America. "They are taking the President too literally" is the assertion of one of them. In the mean time serious conferences are in progress in this city between those responsible for Republican success in 1924. The issue is not being dodged or whitewashed; it is being faced, bravely it may be said. Listen to this from a prominent Senator, who hopes to continue with the title with out the addition of "ex." It is all due to the fact that the children of Aunt Hager are dividing their votes in places where the division means addition, and victory for others not accustomed, heretofore, to reap the benefit of the sundown ballots. Do you know that the Democrats of the big northern states have already begun a definite organized program looking to educate the Colored voters up to the importance, or necessity, of supporting a "Conservative Democrat for President?" This is true in New York, Chicago, and other centers. A heretofore Republican leader of national reputation said recently: "I have come to the place where, I am willing to go out and work for a Democrat for President if they nominate the right man." This man has the power to influence thousands of voters. If there are those who are bold enough to come forth advocating the policy of "Stick to the Republican party," this wing of Colored America always comes forth with the admonition of no less a person than President Harding, in his famous Birmingham address, in which the executive advised Colored America to divide their votes. "We are taking the President at his word," remarked the same previously mentioned national leader. Other Leaders Disturbed It is quite apparent that the big leaders of the party and the practical politicians are greatly disturbed by New Orleans, La., June 6. — Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of the Knights of Pythia of N. A. S. A., E. A. A. and A. has announced that the long drawn out fight between the Grand Lodge of Virginia and the Supreme, Lodge which had suspended the former, has been ended by a revocation upheld by the Supreme court of the District of Columbia. John Mitchell Jr., Grand Chancellor of the Virginia Lodge, who recently was convicted on charges connected with the bank of which he was president, and who was accused of misusing the order's funds, led the fight against the Supreme Lodge which began in 1914. The Supreme Chancellor advises that lodges in Virginia can now organize and argue for adjudication to the Supreme Lodge. this new psychology of Colored America. "They are taking the President too literally," is the assertion of one of them. In the mean time serious conferences are in progress in this city between those responsible for Republican success in 1924. The issue is not being dodged or whitewashed; it is being faced, bravely it may be said. Listen to this from a prominent Senator, who hopes to continue with the title with out the addition of "ex." "The advice of the President is all right in theory, but I am certain it has cost a number of men their office, and if things keep on, others of us will follow in their wake. We must give honest consideration to Colored constituent men we expect to remain in office. It is to say the least, galling to discover that our negligence and in difference are being realised upon by the Democrats whom we have always said are the Colored peoples' enemies. The Democrats are taking the kick out of that assertion by giving more consideration and appointments in state and local offices than we have done. From now on, we must play different kind of politics." In the Meantime In the meantime, the children of Aunt Hager may well be described as "sitting on the lid." They are telling all their "Brothers and their sisters and their sons and their daughters and their mothers and their fathers" in the words of a present day Broadway star to "Play that thing," meaning the game of politics, in his distance. They are looking with deep concern on the statements, interviews and public utterances of Henry Ford of Detrpitt; they are wondering what may be done with a possible "Third Party," and they are even studying the program of the recognized Socialists. What are the Republicans going to do about it? Much of the answer to this question remains to be seen and heard. NOTICE TO CLUB WOMEN! Mrs. Suriene Houton, 1234 E. 84th stnst, Phone Humboldt 1798 M.

A. Jordan, a white gentleman, entered Pleasant Avenue, and claimed to be a meter reader for the Georgia Railway and Power Company. Although Jordan exhibited a badge he didn't look "regular" to Mr. McErioy, who watched him take $12.50 from the meter and then attempted to detain him for questioning. The white man burst through the group of customers and fed with McErioy on his heels. After three blocks chase he caught and sat on him until a policeman arrived. Jordan was bound over in the Superior Court. (By the Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, N. Y. June 6.—Marcus Garvey has announced that the fourth annual convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, will be held in Monrovia, Liberia next year, instead of in New York in August as originally planned. Mr. Garvey expects to take a shipload of delegates over from the United States, West Indies, and South America, and is said to believe that impetus will be given to the "Back to Africa" movement by holding his convention there. At present Garvey is defendant in the Federal Court for alleged mismanagement of the funds of the Black Star Line. Several unique angles have appeared on the case. While many who have followed the course of the Steam Ship company say that it never had a chance to succeed, there are others who contend that powerful shipping interests were determined that it should fail. * * * (By The Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa. June6—Not the least striking chapter that was written into the annals of the 1923 Penn Relay Carnival was the part that the black athlete played in achieving fame, or in taking the white man's burden often in the relay races. At least one-sixth of the athletes competing were gentlemen of color. It typifies their racial success, as a whole, too, that Charloo West, the greatest athlete ever produced at the U.S. Olympic gymnastics gro, should win the penthon, the hall-mark of all-around athletes in the American colleges. Added to this was the triumph of DeHart Hubbard, the colored broad jumper of the University of Michigan, in that event. But it was in the relay races that the presence of the darkhued athlete was seen at his best. Rarely did any school, especially those of the larger cities, run a race without one or more of the relay men a colored jumper. The team to run,oo, and did not suffer in the least in comparison to their Caucasian compatriots. Stranger still was the League of Nations that comprised the Pentathlon finish. The winner was West, in whose veins flows African blood of Ethiopian ancestry. The chap who was second was Elkins, a full-blooded Indian and a pupil at the Haskell Institute for the warriors in Kansas. Georgetown was in Moroney, whose ancestors are Irish, and Plansky, whose blood is the heritage of a thousand Polish forehairs. Newton, of Florida, was the only simon pure native son in the lot, representing the University of Florida, and dwelling in his own home town in the South. The cosmopolitan aspect of this athletic function was not limited by any means to the British. Wherever one turned he found some chap whose ancestors had come through the melting pot. The meet revealed, too, that no one strain has a monopoly of the brawn, brains and speed that are essential in athletic tests of this nature. (For The Associated Negro Press) By J. A. Jackson Misserson City, Mo. June 6—N. C. Brown, Tallahassee, Missouri, generally known as a Republican during the sage of the Hyde administration, has been appointed Inspector of Negro Rural School by Charles A. Lea, a Democrat.

All of the cabbahs except one has closed by order of the police department and the federal authorities when combined in making a drive on them. Even Al Tearney's long considered immune and which although it was in the center of the colored district did not permit colored people to enter was ordered closed by Mayor Dever. Monday. Protests by colored citizens and its bad record were given as the cause. The Entertainers Cafe which has been re-opened is still operating partially because it is said he has a friend at court, as well as because he has promised to allow no mixing of races. Many of the prominent citizens, are expressing the view that the change is for the good, loss of employment by a number of musicians being the only untoward result. (By The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, N. Y, June 6—The trial of Marcus Garvey, charged with using the malts to defend through the sale of stock in the BLACK STAR LINE in proceeding in the Federal Court before Judge Julian Mack. It is probable that weeks will be consumed in trying the case, particularly since Mr. Garvey has discharged his counsel, Solicitor C. W. McBougall and Vernal Williams, and proceeded to act as his own counsel. Using a gold mounted lorgnette to read the papers he makes an interesting figure and is proving t' chave astonishing a man. Co-defendants with Garvey are George Elli Garcia, Secretary of the Black Star Line, represented by Henry Lincoln Johnson, e.g. George Toblas, treasurer, represented by Wm. C. Matthews of Boston and Orlando M. Thompson, vice-president, of the ill-fated steamship company. Capt Joshus Cockburn, former skipier of the Yarmouth, who said he fell out with Garvey for business reasons as well as because they were both admiring the same woman; Edgar M. Gray, former private secretary to Garvey, who said he also served as advertising manager of the Negro World, Secretary of Branches of the U. N. I. Secretary of the Attachy of the title, the Personal publicity agent for Garvey at a salary of $14.00 per week and asst. U. S. Attorney Mattuck have been the principal witnesses thus far. They testified to loose business methods an questionable stock selling methods. It is expected because of the scope of the government's charges, that all thieves of the U. N. L. A. will be aired. * * * N(By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. June 6—The U. S. Veterans' Hospital is momentarily quiet. Those interested in manning the institution and seeing it successfully launched after surveying the situation devoid of sentiment and in the bright light of facts are said to believe that everything will work out satisfactorily in the end. The hospital was opened last Saturday with Col. R. H. Stanley, a white army physician, and a white staff and colored nurses in charge. So far as known no colored doctors have been certified up to this time. Information circulated here is to the effect that the influence in the Veterans' Bureau who has estaged the entire official opposition and who had control before the present director, general Hines, assumed charge, have set forth the claim that the positions open in the Tuskegee Hospital, said to be the finest the government has yet built, called for doctors especially qualified in certain technical practice which few colored physicians have had any reason to qualify themselves for. Medical men of national reputation have been conservative in discussing the situation. One of the best known physicians in the country is Dr. Cannon, of Chicago and here recently, it no longer heard of Dr. George E. Cannon or Dr. J. E. Perry of the National Negro Medical Association being asked to confer on this matter. They would know better how to put their hands on the right man than any one in America." Dr. Perry of Kansas City, the Missouri office, is president, and Dr. Cannon of Jersey City is chairman of the executive association. In the meantime, Dr. Motton, who extended thg government the invitation to friends on the town of Tuskegee, and by Negroes has been hospitalized in having the hospital attacked by Negroes the plum, and it was compromised him into seeing their view. Dr. Motton's friends deny these charges as absurd, and say that he practically broke with the white people in the town of Tuskegee and Montgomery on the subject. Others have criticized Henry Lincoln Johnson because of his activity in rounding up eligibles and "appointing" them, without consultation, but it is reported here upon good authority that he was commissioned by the "powers that be" to go out and bring out the men said to be lawyers, it is pointed out he may have been asked to know all about medical qualifications. "He was showing orders," saidtime Washington, in on the know. On the other hand there are many who protest to believe that eventually control of the hospital will be turned over to the colored group.

The hope and endeavor of the Brazilian administration is that cotton in the near future should be as important a product as coffee has been.

He visited it and joked with Lord Carnarvon, since dead, about the superstition. Within a few days both Gould and his nephew, Frank J. Gould, contracted heavy colds. After Carnarvon's death the financier is said to Hagv worried a great deal over the mystery and legend, and though he was a strong and robust man when he came to Europe, he wasted away 10 less than 100 pounds at the end.

The letter was from Alfred W. Martin of the Ethical Culture Society of New York, who went to France to appeal from the decision to the French Government officials in charge of the school. (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C. June 6.—Declaring that the Negro population is leaving South Carolina rapidly and that in his opinion many more were going to leave, Senator Dial of that State said today: "While many people think that this is to the advantage of the South—and it may be in the long run-yet serious consequences will result to many landowners in the very near future, that the white population to take the place of the Negro—and this is to be hoped—but it cannot be done at once." The Senator who has been investigating the possibility of securing foreign labor to replace the migrants had a long interview with the Swedish and Norwegian ministers. These gentlemen informed him he said that many of their countrymen had come to America but that they usually sought work in the United States, similar to their native country. He said in effect that they were splendid agriculturalists but hardly interested in growing cotton. The senator advises southern farmers to grow more diversified products and make cotton a surplus crop. Such a possibility he suggests, is a long way off. (By The Associated Negro Press) Kansas City, Mo., June 6—The Southern Baptist Convention, white, in session here endorsed the establishment of a theological Seminary for Negroes in Nashville, Penn. It was decided to appropriate $300,000 to purchase the St. Cecilia Academy, now a Catholic girl's school in the Tennessee city, providing the cash was available and that $50,000 a year be set aside from the $75,000,000 campaign for its support. Several Nashville churches, objected on the ground that the institution is in the center of a white residential district and to establish the seminary there might evite race prejudice. Dr. Sutton E. Griggs appealed to the convention to provide for the seminary. The next meeting of the convention will be in Atlanta in 1924. * * * (By The Negro Associated Press) Montreal, Canada. June 6.—The Southern Presbyterian Church is holding its annual session in the chilling climes of Canada this year. One of the chief questions before the body has been the question of whether or not to remain in the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. This organization is fathering the inter-racial movement and in the report made by its president, Dr. Robert Speer, great stress was laid on this effort on the ear of the council. Characterizing what he termed the racial problem as one of the greatest confronting the nation the speaker asserted there must be a common ground for discussion and for the study of experience and information of the past year. Cooperation in promoting religious education and the maintenance of friendship among churches were given as offer reasons for sustaining the council, Dr. Speer adding that the proper course for the church to follow "is not to withdraw but to contribute and guide the activities and policies of the council all that we can."

The text was made easy to understand, with the revision. Today's own troubles are quite enough for the day. In the evening, "Can any good thing come out of Nakareth?" Both sermons were instructive. The Bible School and the Y. P. S. C. E. and healthy meetings. The pastor will bring to us next Sunday special messages at the regular services.

TOM THUMB WEDDING DELUXE The Tom Thumb Wedding participated in by Miss Jessie Lee Hamilton as the bride: Master George Phillips Lee, bridegroom, with their attendant bridesmaids, grooms, ring-bearers, flower bearers, with Master James Wilson as minister, at the Birch St. Christian Church on last Monday evening, was a gala affair and indeed furnished an entertaining feature unusual in the extreme. Another feature was the vamps who followed the bridal party which was accentuated by Mendelshon's Wedding March to the delectation of all who were present. This highly creditable affair was by Mrs. Jessie Strider on 1508 E. 15th St. who staged the scene and instructed the children. She had the valuable assistance of Mrs. A. C. Richardson and others.

Reception for Assemblyman Roberts The accusation that his own received him not cannot be justly hurled at The Forum and the — see Copy few, who met at Woolsey Chapel, Friday evening to pay home to Hon. Fredrick W. Roberts and his wife. No potentate, so far as pomp and style indicate, could have desired more attention and oratorical display than that exhibited during the evening. The program moved without a hitch for it is common consent that there was plenty of good music, music that touched the heart, and well chosen addresses, replete with oratory and thought. Mr. Titus Alexander presented Atty. Alston as the Master of Ceremonies. With timely remarks Mr. Alston explained the purpose and intent of the occasion, and then called upon the only C. M. E. Choir to furnish music, and it did. Among its numbers was the suggestive and appealing Negro National Anthem by Johnson and they sang it as only the C. M. E. Choir can sing. Prof. Moore on behalf of the citizens of Los Angeles started the melee and it grew on and on until Editor J. B. Bana of the California Eagle waxed eloquent with his "Sambo" story. His Sambo so illustratively woks up in the assembly until vociferous "Amens" greeted the end of that nap. On the whole the program was one of merit for a meritorious occasion. Mr. Roberts was all that was said of him and more. His record in the assembly has been one of cool, calm, calculating effort, unstinted praise was his Friday evening and he felt it. Before the response by Mr. Roberts he was presented with a token of appreciation and esteem. So great was the feeling and reaction that he fell amiss fro many seconds trying to realize if it was true. Refreshments closed the evening of a momentous and memorable occasion.
