While the very life of the convention is at stake, and while any Chickens may play the game fairly and in keeping with the teachings of the Head of the church, no such situation seems remotely possible, and thus both factions are going merrily a-pace with plans for perpetuating a state convention. Recent issue of a white weekly newspaper, published in Houston, carried this citation in an obscure place in said publication: Sheriff's Sale Under and by virtue of an execution and order of sale issued on the 14th of December, 1748,88 of the district court of Harris County, in favor of W.

The color that charged the doctors of Houston are rapidly increasing the population of the cemeteries, does not change the color of the bodies kept at ten of the local colored undertaking establishments. While there is always room for improvement in the medical circle, as well as in all other fields of human endeavor, the colored members of the church have been trained to the world as being wholly incompetent and inefficient, and as being in league with the moricians and cemetery owners. During December ten colored undertaking firms buried 144 Negroes, and ten colored doctors in 40 instances or 27.15; in 104 deaths the certificates were signed by the coroner and physicians of the other race, or 72.95.

W. C. A. NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGE HONORS ITS BENEFACTOR Durham, N. G.—(ANP)—The faculty and students of the North Carolina College for Negroes at special chapel exercises held in the Avery Andirium at a Vickey on Thursday, paid tribute to the late B. H. Duke, who has shown his interest and friendship for the college by gifts in the past two years totaling over $100,000. President James E. Shepard made brief remarks touching the simplicity of the life of Mr. Duke, his interests in all good causes and his general interests in the life of his people of Durham. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted by the faculty and students: "Death has removed from the active sphere of life one who had sought to serve his creator by serving his fellowman. "Benefactions of Mr. B. H. Duke have lifted the burdens from many struggling colleges, churches and individuals. "Good work which he has done will live in the hearts of men through the years which are to come. "Mr. Duke was a human benefactor, he used his great wealth to brighten the load of his fellowman. Therefore, he is resolved by the faculty and the students of the North Carolina College for Negroes that we go on record as expressing our gratitude for what an appreciation and our appreciation of all the things which he has done for the benefit of humanity. "In this hour and of bereavement we express to his beloved wife, Mrs. A. J. Deuxel Blddle, our sympathy and the prayers of this body that strength may be given to them to mourn their present sorrow." As a further mark of respect, the man was closed during the hour of the funeral. Mr. Duke died in New York City Monday, after a lengthy illness, and his body was brought here for burial.

The latest protest against the passage of the bill, which would prohibit Negroes from living in certain districts and cause those already living in neighborhoods that are predominantly white to move before April 1, was made Tuesday evening when more than 500 Negro citizens, at a mass meeting in the True Reformers Hall, adopted the following resolution condemning the bill: "They have believed the assurance of the white people of Richmond that they are friends of the Negro, and have waited patiently for some concrete evidence of their friendship. They meetings designed to resist oppressive anti-Negro legislation, feeling that Richmond's problem could be better solved by citizens of Richmond. This narrative attests the faith the Negro had in their white neighbors. "Richmond is the only city in the South which has white principals in the city, and in the city of consequence in which there is no definite evidence of the friendship professed. It is the only Southern city which offers a segregation ordinance as proof of the friendship of the whites for the blacks. The Ne- Mills Writes Poll Tax Receipts For Houston Negroes County Tax Collector J. W.

Mr. Mills announces that booths are being created in Richmond to serve the Negro community, 433 Hill and 801 Franklin, in the lobby of the Lincoln Theatre, 114 Franklin. Every cultural man and woman in Houston and Harris County should pay his or her poll tax or secure an exemption certificate before midnight of January 31, 1929, so that they can exercise their elective franchise rights at the various elections to be held during 1929.

"Be it, therefore, resolved, that the chairman of this meeting be authorized and directed to issue this statement of the rights of the Negroes of Richmond, and that he is hereby empowered to appoint appropriate committees, to solicit the aid of any agency in sympathy with this movement, and to take such steps as are necessary to put into effect the sentiment of this meeting.

JOINSON) The citizens of Houston for the past several weeks have been anticipating the coming of the Flick Glee Club which rendered a most excellent program at the City Auditorium, Sunday afternoon, January 13. A magnificent audience of both young and old have to greet them, and when the thirty young men filed out on the rostrum with music in their very tread, the whole audience must breathless, almost, waiting for the first note to fall from their throats, beginning the treat they had to give them. From the time Prof. John Work, Jr. raised his baton to inform them so accurately in the chorus, "To the Field," by Buck, down to the closing of the program with that old eternal favorite of Negro spirituals, "Swing Low, our soul," our own, lighted for every moment of the entertainment. No program by any group is half no interacting as one rendered where the majority of the numbers are Negro spirituals, America's greatest folk songs. And no group of singers who are so engaged as a group of Negro singers. And we can venture the assertion the no group of Negro singers can render such program any better than a group from Flick University. These young men showed us how to do the most difficult classical selections with as much one as they can the songs that belong to them.

ANDREWS Another Houston product has been called to a field of larger service when the St. John Baptist Church of Dallas, one of the leading congregations of the state, extended a pastoral call to Rev. Richard T. Andrews, who forsook the grocery business here in 1909. At the time of his call to the Dallas church, Rev. Andrews was pastoring the St. Paul Baptist Church at Crockett. Even while engaged in the grocery business, Rev. Andrews spent considerable time in Sunday school and church work, having served as superintendent of a school that was his pastor. Sunday school and teacher of the men's Bible class for several years. During the early period of his ministerial career he served under Pastor E. L. Harrison as assistant pastor of Antioch, relinquishing the position to accept work at Crockett. Aside from offering him a hands-on position, he was what his office all moving expenses of Rev. Andrews to Dallas and to provide him a modern home as paragon; also making allowance for an assistant pastor. When seen last week by an Informer reporter before leaving for the North Texas city, Rev. Andrews did not seem to be regarding this call to the Dallas church, but it is more than likely that he will accept St. John's pastorate. FORMER SLAVE DIES WEALTHY IN MISSISSIPPI Senatobia, M. mis. — (ANP) - P h11 price 104 years old, idle school in Alabama in Coldwater Sunday. Born in Alabama in 1824, Price was 38 years old when freed from slavery. He became one of the largest landowners at the time of his death owning more than a 300 acres of fine farm lands. Price was here when the first railroad train ran, when the first steamboat plowed the Mississippi river and lived to see airships飞 across his farms. He resided in Mississippi for more than 100 years and was a purely patriotic standpoint. He died in the house in which he had lived for seventy-five years.

FIRST SECTION—NUMBER 35 Hospital Situation Made More Acute By Declinations When the retiring colored board of directors of the Houston Negro Hospital met last Friday evening to turn over the business of the institution to the newly elected board, consisting of J. B. Griggsy, Homer E. McCoy, Rev. J. S. Scott, W. E. Miller, C. H. McGruder and Miss Virginia B. Miller, the old board was faced with declinations and refusals to serve by practically every one of the 1929 board members. While Mr. Griggsy did not exactly decline to serve, he did state in his letter to the retiring board that, if it were a fact that the Negro board had no authority and was merely a figure-head even though he is always glad to render service for his race and humanity wherever he can, he could not serve as a mere manikin in this hospital role. N.A.A.C.P Lists Legal Victories Won During '28 Other members who refused outright to serve on the board under the present system and regime are Homer E. McCoy, Miss Virginia B. Miller and the three hold-over directors, Rev. J. S. Scott, C. H. McGurder and W. E. Miller. The seventh member of the 1929 board was not elected, as the Negro board did not know any person in Houston by the name of "Gussie Andrews," the other member nominated, by the white advisory committee. Despite the fact that the constitution provides that the old board members shall serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified, the retiring board has finished its year's work, and thus the Houston Negro Hospital is literally without a Negro board. That a new Negro is now on the scene, and that whites can not treat with Negroes like they did years ago and get by with N.A.A.C. Legal V Won D New York—Legal victories won in behalf of the Negro throughout the country take a leading place in the annual report for 1928 of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, summary of which was made public recently. The advancement victories was won by the Charleston, West Virginia, branch of the N. A. A. C. P. before the supreme court of appeals of that state, prohibiting the exclusion of colored people from the Charleston Public Library. In three out of four extradition contests the N. A. A. C. P. was able to prevent the removal of a colored man from northern jurisdiction to a state where he had been recorded. The extraditions prevented through N. A. A. C. P. intervention were from Ohio to Mississippi, from Montana to Alabama, and from Michigan to Florida. The association reports that cases have been in denial in three states to contest the denial of primary election votes to Negro by party action, followed by primary decision of the U. S. supreme court that is state law to this effect was unconstitutional. The cases have begun in Texas, Virginia and Florida. On the question of residential segregation, a case arising in Washington, D. C., was prepared during 1928 and was heard early in 1929, by the District of Columbia court of appeals, challenging the right of property owners to make segregation covenants upon future purchasers of property. The association reports that plans for the extension of its legal work it, are quite evident in the local hospital situation which has become acute. Many local Negroes are contending that no black man or woman with any self-respect and manhood or womanhood, can serve on this board until the white advisory committee decides to abdicate from its lofty and tyrannical throne and permit the Negro board to exercise its constitutional functions. There has been considerable agitation for a citywide indignation meeting, to protest against such an autocratic and arbitrary committee on the part of the white advisory committee; while some hold to the view that the matter is becoming so confused and conglomerated that legal procedure should be resorted to in an effort to have the powers of the Negro board and white advisory committee of the constitution of the Houston Negro Hospital, passed upon by the courts. P Lists ictories uring '28 are under way, a directory of 1055 attorneys having been compiled in various parts of the country, who have expressed themselves as willing to be called upon should a case arise in their community or state. This list of 105 attorneys is constantly being added to. Members of the N. A. A. C. P. during 1928 for all purposes were $90,258.82. Its officers held 707 meetings during the year, in 33 states, most of the far Southern states being repeatedly visited. The N. A. A. C. P. officers in the course of their work traveled 75,387 miles. Among all the states in which there are N. A. A. C. P. branches, California hold the leading place during 1928 for the most important official office, Los Angeles holds first place among individual branches. California sent $7,900.68 and Los Angeles $33,633.70. NORDIC RAPIST IS FREED IN GOTHAM New York—(AMP) Jacob Sobhn, a former city marshal, now a real estate operator, was freed of a con- plaint made by a 13-year-old collared Gilbert Walker in Washington Heights court Friday morning. The girl alleged that she was attacked by Sobhn who came to her parents' home to collect rent on December 28. The statement was partially corroborated by Miss Mary Edwards who ended in the same building. When there was some discrepancy found in the other records, the girl, Gilbert, Sobhn was charged.

That self-help is primary in the advancement of any race or group. That leaders of a dianastadant race can cooperate in their different positions of leadership. That there is potentiality for achievement among this so-called wakker people. That upon the demonstration that self-help is primary, Mr. Pickens said: "The very first effect to improve the social status of a group must come from the group itself. Others can only assist, but there must be something to assist. The work of the Negro community and the fellow must be making a stand before you can stand with him. It was the Frederick Douglass type of a slave that supplied the inspiration for friends of the Negro emancipation; and it was the Niagara movement of the Negro in the real spirit of this association. The courage and intelligence of Negroes of the type represented by W. E. B. Dulbeck furnished a direct cause; and the work of Booker T. Washington and those who belied in his angle of attack upon the same problem of organization by calling attention to the merits and possibilities of the Negro citizen.

This fact became known here Tuesday when a letter from Dr. Franklin K. McKinney, president of Chicago University Hospital to Dr. George Cleveland Hall, chief of staff and member of the board of trustees of the Provident Hospital, was made public. This letter indicates that the new institution will not only be one of the most modern institutions for the care of the sick but will offer unusual advantages to physicians, graduate and student nurses. The staff, according to McKinney, will be the best men of the medical profession in the country, after a nation wide survey, with the idea, as Dr. McLean points out, of "making these selections long enough in advance to permit them to be before taking up their new duties." "In addition," continued Dr. McLean, "to the selection of mature men for the more responsible positions, it is of the greatest importance to select young men to be trained for advancement into such positions, through fellowships in the institutions of America and Europe." Provident Hospital is one of the oldest institutions for the care of the sick and training of young colored women in the profession of nursing in the country. It is headed by Dr. George Cleveland Hall, who is one of the most eminent physicians and surgeons of the country and especially of the hospital. The institution has suffered from congestion due to lack of adequate facilities but in the face of these difficulties has continued to de efficient and effective work which merited the grade A classification by the American Hospital Association. The proposed institution will be manned almost wholly by Negroes, and will have every race and creed. The site of the new hospital has not yet been selected. Declares Record Companies Insult Colored Patrons Declares Record Companies Insult Colored Patrons Chicago—(ANP)—That Negro purchasers of phonograph records should boycott those record companies which publish records with offensive titles for the Negro trade, was the opinion expressed here Friday by Dr. Herbert A. Turner, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Dr. Turner stated that he had observed a developing tendency on the part of some companies that make records which are calculated to appeal to Negro purchasers to use an appeal which has vulgar names, language, and sentiment as a bait, and, no, not a cause, to appeal to an audience which ought to be deliberately offensive to self-respecting Negroes. "My attention has been called to a record published by the Columbia Company," continued Dr. Turner. "The title of this record is 'Mysterious Records' and the title of the publication copy which accompanies this headline repeats the use of the word 'coon' and the use of a picture of a ludicrous figure is an insult to the intelligence of the people to whom the advertising appeal is made. This advertisement and objection is made to people who observe, others show the low regard which white record makers have for colored people. "Such titles are not only bellingtick to the Negro's sense of pride, but they give other persons who read colored books a poor opinion of the taste of the race, its habits and the quality of its thought. We cannot afford to be blightened before the world for the sake of a white woman who choose to make money at the black community's richer city. The most effective way for Negroes to combat this evil practice is to cause to purchase such records."

FIRST IN REAL NEWS—PAGE THREE TO CUBA Invading Americans Ignore Cuban Laws New York.—(ANP)—Desire for gold on the part of American business interests has revived the slave trade in the Carribean, according to an illuminating article in the current issue of the Nation by Arnold Roller, who is impressed with the fact that there is very little difference between the manner in which black "slaves" are now being brought into Cuba and the method employed to bring them to North America. Cuba, of course, is an island where there are many black, brown and yellow persons. Social distinctions exist between the native whites and the mulattoes who are not able to pass, but there is no official or business discrimination, mulattoes and darker Negroes rising to positions of distinction in professional and official circles, and the laws of the island provide that there must be no discrimination between blacks and whites in hotels, cafes, and so forth, such as is practiced in America. Referring to these charges Mr. Fle- Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, president see said: I have made a complete investigation of the charges made by the Workers' Relief Committee, and Mr. Isbell and find: First, that there was much good accomplished by the Red Cross and the instances out of which grew to do with the alleged shooting of the charges of discrimination were in the minority and did not warrant the that no one connected with the Red Cross was responsible for the alleged attack on Levl Brown." "Our chapter chairman in Indian River County made a personal investigation and reports there were no disaster losses at Gifford, further, all of the Negroes in that territory are working and there is no need for Red Cross assistance in that district." Referring to the charges that the Negroes were involved in the case, Mr. Friesen declared: "We have not refused to employ colored persons. One of the very best workers we have in the colored tent city is a colored nurse, Miss Kris L. Brown, has been of great interest to us, and however, taken no Negro case workers on our staff, because we did not feel that it was necessary, but special effort has been made to assign work personnel who are entirely sympathetic. "The story of A. L. Iabell, working with the crew which was searching for dead bodies, does not at all refer to the Red Cross, as the charges in the report of the supervision of the State Board of Health, and we have no connection whatever with it; hence, we are not responsible for any treatment such as we have done, nor far as the living conditions are concerned in that area, the Red Cross workers were subjected to the same inconveniences as the Negro victim. The Red Cross workers were not far South Bay areas it was necessary for all people to be content with unsanitary and almost unlivable conditions; this has all been corrected now, both as it pertains to Negroes and white."

Cohen's Insurance Company Wins Suit From Government New Orleans, La.—(ANP)—A decision handed down in favor of the government in a case against the People's Industrial Life Insurance Company of Louisiana on March 6, 1928, was reversed by the fifth circuit court of appeals, Tuesday, composed of Judges Walker, Foster and Dawkins. The case against the insurance company was to collect approximately $150 in taxes and was brought against Walter L. Cohen, John H. Lowery and the insurance company of the time of the suit the company was known as the Peoples Benevolent Life Insurance Company and was uninterrupted. Due to a continual loss of money the company liquidated in August 1935. The insurance company with twenty stockholders. After the liquidation the company paid the government an amount in taxes but this was found insufficient and a decision was obtained which compelled the payment of $1,550. The case was taken to the U. S. court of appeals and the decision was on the grounds that the government failed to show any assets of value under the circumstances which required the insurance company be sued for enforcement of these taxes. not re fn ae CAMPUS == pect from 1 jdren.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1929 THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1929 GILMORE PLANS BASEBALL LOOP IN THIS STATE THE HOUSTON INFORMER HOUSTON INFORMER THE BOSTON EDITOR Led all Negro Newspapers in Texas and the entire Southland during 1928, in volume of display advertising, outstripping its closest competitor by several thousand agate lines; easily sustaining its well-earned reputation as America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper In fact, THE INFORMER stood fourth in this respect amng the Negro newspapers of America, three racial publications in the metropolitan centers of the East and North surpassing THE INFORMER in volume of display advertising. Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—The report that a new baseball league was in the offing took the form of a definite statement here Saturday by Q. J. Gilmore, secretary of the National Baseball League, and I will leave having immediately for Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana for the purpose of establishing what will be known as the Texa-Oklahoma-Louisiana League. Principal cities including Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Fort Worth Houston, San Antonio, Waco, Galveston, Beaumont, and Shreveport, Alabama, will be cut, according to Mr. Gilmore's stated plans. Word to All Advertisers: You will certainly make a mistake if you fail to include THE HOUSTON INFORMER in your list of publications for advertising during 1929 and the succeeding years. "I believe," said Mr. Gilmore, "that with my experience in the game and the natural love for baseball in the South, that organized baseball will go big down there. my intention to interest men of the highest caliber in the sport, not a condescension league upon a sound, safe, and high-class basis." Wheatley Wildcats Tendered Banquet THE INFORMER also enjoys the largest circulation of any Negro newspaper printed in Houston or South Texas, and its circulation growth during the past year, while not startling, was sure and steady. The Phillis Wheatley Wildcat, city and South Texas high school football champions for 1928, were "wined and spoiled" by the game Thursday night. Among those programmed to deliver short addresses were: E. O. Smith, principal; O. P. DeWalt, James D. Ryan, Dr. A. E. Miller, Dr. E. Miller and Coach J. E. Codwell. Over 65,000 Buyers Are reached directly or indirectly every week by THE INFORMER, and it is estimated that these 65,000 Negroes spend in excess of $10,000,000 per annum for the necessities of life, to say nothing of luxuries and other items. Musical numbers included harp selection by DeWitt Hensley; vocal solo by Jefferson Green; selection by Wheaton quartet and instrumental rendition by Mrs. Mattie Overton-Ellen. Election of the 1929 captain and a sumptuous spread concluded an otherwise brilliant and enjoyable occasion. MORGAN CAGERS DEFEAT HOWARD IN HARD BATTLE AN AD PER WEEK IS THE BEST WAY. TO SPEAK! Washington, D.

Wood slipping through to make the first score for Howard, and Williams adding a point from the foul line before Morgan could score. A field goal by Morgan, and a foul tie the score which was repeatedly tied until the last five minutes when Clark, Morgan's star right forward, broke the score by making two shots from under the basket in rapid succession. MAMMOTH PRESS ON WHICH THE INFORMER IS PRINTED The half cended with a score of 16-12 in Morgan's favor. At the beginning of the second half Howard again made the first counter, and by two remarkable goals from the floor by Simpson and by two more from the first close competition and helps of Howard victory. Howard's passing was a bit wild, as compared with Morgan's, and missed many more tries for the basket than the visitors, both from the court and the foul line. Simpson outplayed Morgan and made the return from Morgan College outjumped the "Bison ace." Simpson and Clark tied for high score honors, both receiving eleven points.

HOWARD BISONS BOOK GRID TILTS FOR '29 SEASON Washington, D. C.-The board of athletic control announces the feest-ball schedule of Howard University for 1929 as follows: Knoxville, Tenn. — (AHP) - The Knoxville College college games clerk Clark University of Atlanta, champions of the Southern conference for the past three years, after a free-friday overtime period, by a score of 22-31 in one of the fastest basketball games ever witnessed here. Facing a seasoned team of long standing, the Knoxville fire, with only one veteran, fought every inch of the way to victory, amid the shouts and cheers of several hundred enthusiasts. C. men played a remarkable grade, the work of the two freshmen, Eugene Johnson and San Salfon, was spectacular. For the invaders, "Spunk" Johnston was the high score, with Dalton Pinson him a close second. The defense squared it up six digits with the guarding of Dupree especially commendable.

Fieser, vice chairman of the American Red Cross, denied the charges made by the Workers' Relief Committee that Negroes had been victims of discrimination in the Florida storm area, at the hands of officials of the American Red Cross. The records showed that there had been no discrimination and that the "immediate needs of both the white and colored hurricane sufferers have been met by the American Red Cross and at the present time a rehabilitation program by which the needs of each family are studied and the necessary relief extended to enable them to regain a self-supporting basis." The charities of the Workers' Relief Committee, with headquarters in New York City, grew out of a report by former president of the Chicago branch of the American Labor Congress, a communistic organization, L. L. Label, investigator for the committee, in which he declared that Negroes were the chief sufferers and had been the victims of prejudice and cited two cases where Negroes had been shot and attacked by whites. Urban Unemployment and Agricultural Opportunities But American industrialists have invaded Cuba and established a sort of extra-territorial government, such as is complained of in China, that makes them untouchable by Cuban law. Thus hotels, restaurants and other businesses by Americans, freely discriminate against. Negroes, in spite of the Cuban law. And there are cases of American industrial plants where different and separate quarters are provided for dark Cubans, white Cubans, and Americans. After nightfall the dark Cubans are not permitted in the white Cubans' and neither in the black Cubans. Cuban is allowed in the American's section. The "slave" trade is practiced by the owners of the sugar plantations. The more sugar there is raised, or the more demand there is for sugar, the more labor is needed. It has been said that the Negroes can planters to go outside of the island for this help. The method now current, and one which has been in practice for many years, is to send to Haiti, where the Negroes speak a sort of French, and they speak English, and to import an illiterate class to Cuba to work on the sugar plantations. Of course, these Negroes are not told that they are going to be made slaves or peasants, they are subjected to persecution confined written in Spanish, the language of Cuba, which they cannot understand. While these laborers have been brought into Cuba by the boatload they are housed in great sections of the island, their laboratories are not permitted to leave, nor are outsiders allowed to come in. When these laborers are from eighty to eighty cents a day, all supplies, food, clothing, and so forth, must be bought from a sort of company store. The Negroes find themselves indebted to the (By ALBON L. HOLSEY) The National Urban League reports that there is no foundation for the statement which is going the rounds that Negro labor is being replaced with whites. Its last report shows that the labor force in the net gain which is very grafting. The general unemployment situation throughout the country, however, is not no encouraging and if we may judge from current comments on the subject, labor conditions are likely to grow steadily worse. The reason is that the labor force is increasing labor surplus due to mass production and distribution and to the diversified uses of machinery. Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, recently told a senate committee: "it is for the labor force to increase the production and reduced costs. Therefore, society must assume the responsibility of giving work to these (surplus) men." Commerce and finance regards Mr. Willard's statement as a "major angle" of the unemployment problem. It introduces at the same time a very real problem for the Negro because Negro "society" is not yet able to stand alone and certainly is not a necessary labor surplus. To further complicate the situation, the care of the white labor surplus first, leaving for the Negro the "left-overs", if any, and those here-and-there instances where employees are settlemently incumbent on Negro employment, Benjamin Saitk, discussing the unemployment of last year in the current Forbes says: "This was the first time, in this or any other civilization, when large scale unemployment accompanied a period of great economic activity." The probable reason for this certain situation in the margaritie Mr. Willard suggests, but no far off the future is concerned the remedy plantation owner, and under the necessity of staying around until next crop time. The plantation owners permit them to stay without cost because that is cheaper to them than to have to pay twenty-five dollars a head for the crop. They are not around again. Thus, these men are taken from the homes in Haiti and Jamaica and tied to the land of Cuba. In case of JamaicanMs. Roller writes, there has been some slackening in the trade, due to protections from the British government, so that in late years most of the importations have been from Haiti. In case of the Haitians and Jamaicans has increased considerably since the inception of this modern slave trade. Thus, from the total number of 70 Jamaicans and 233 Haitians who arrived in Cuba in 1912, the number rose to 27,088 Jamaicans and 35,971 Haitians in 1920, i.e., an influx of 63,000 foreign Negroes into a population of less than three million. At the beginning of 1928 it seemed as if an end would be made to the slave traffic and the "Negification" of Cuba, when the Cuban government imposed a ban on sugar to 4,000,000 tons per year. It was announced that from then on the importation of Negroes would be prohibited and that 17,000 imported Negroes would be sent back to their homeland. The international conference for the restriction of sugar production failed and Cuba declared that consequently it would remove all restrictions on the sugar output, even though the sugar still further down. More sugar means cheaper sugar and cheaper sugar requires more Negro labor. And quite recently the United Fruit Company alone obtained from the Cuban government 9,900 Negroes for work in its plantation. is as uncertain and the condition itself is distressing. Meanwhile, many opportunities in agriculture and business are open for study and development by Negro business which was conducted by the National Negro Business League shows that Negro business is lamentably and insufficiently unorganized to take care of the necessary purchasing of Negro business its equivalent in the trend of other groups. Dr. Moton in his address to the Farmers' Conference last month told the unusual opportunities offered to Negroes to own farm lands in the South. A wealthy New York business man who recently purchased some farm land in the South satisfied with the returns from his investment that he tells the renders of Manufacturer's Record that "land buy in the South is more attractive than it ever was in the West." Today's invitation to the Negro to land may, if neglected, become to tomorrow's "another wanted opportunity." INSURANCE COMPANY Little Rock.

This entity has continued all through the ages, even to the present time. On the occasion of Calvary the time of the crucifixion, John 12:31; Beshari 2:14; John 3:2). This announcement concerning the Conferring Council of the gospel of Christ, a great victory cost, but at an infinite cost. The prediction of the Sabbath before the coming of Christ, the eternal Son of God was given to the world, but he was "born" as a child. I. The Savior Born (Lake 2:1:1) III. The Savior Described. 1. He seeks the lost (Luke 15:37-51) Seeking of the lost is illustrated and also sheep and goat after the one which was lost, and his replacing over his success in finding it. 3. He died for the lost (John 3:14-17) As the brazen serpent was lifted up in the wilderness by Moses, no Jesus Christ was lifted up on the cross. God sent an angel to the world for the attainment of the saints of the world. All those who believe on Him receive eternal life and therefore escape certain death. The world was not to condemn the world, but to be to salvation. 4. He knows his own (John 19:23) He outlived the lost and gives his Life for them, he has a definite knowledge of him, not only does He know him personally, but he in turn know him. 4. He keeps his own (John 19:27-30) They are Christ's sheep and because they are his sheep they have his voice and follow him. He not only give unto them eternal life but they are absolutely secure because no man is able to pluck them out of his hands. 4. Some Blessings Received through the Savior. 1. Physical strength (Acts 3:1-11) The healing of the man in man's body at the time of his birth is an example of Christ's ability to heal the body. This man had been lame from birth. Because the life of Jesus Christ was able immediately to arise—sweeze cane into his feet and ankle to walk, he was able to walk and leaped grazing God. 2. Justification (Rom 5:11-11) The one who receives Jesus Christ is moved and because he is justified, he has peace with God, the assurance that God loves him, and real joy in Christ. 3. Christ is the Supreme Example to the believer (Pill. 2:1-10). Because the Sartor became impatient with Christ, he is in the incarriage. He is able to impart life to those with whom he Is identified. He partakes in parts life, the believer is able to make him an example. He is able to express the same spirit of devotion and service in service instead of being served Spend Time With God It is the failure to spend a definite, even though it be short, time each week to think hard about problems, variables, and shallow in our spiritual experience and service.

Harvard Student Raps Labor Group In Recent Article Cambridge, Mana. —(AMP) - Writing to "The Nation," liberal publication, this week, John P. Davis of Harvard, and former Fkh faculty member, attacked labor union. "Capital has never presented an minister and malevolent a front to the Negro labor as have the white labor unions," said Davin. "It is far less criminal to work labor twelve hours a day in sweat-shop at a minimum wage without safety appliances than it is to rob the Negro laborer out of his job by a self-righteous attack against the 'open shop.' I know a Negro bricklayer, a skilled workman, whose father was a bricklayer before him. He has no other vocation. He has spent his best years learning his trade. He has a family, and the winter is comed. He would join a union glut but white unions won't admit him. Our liberal 'wriends' us urge not to irritate white unions by being 'scabe.' They tell us to wait until they can persuade white unions by being 'scabe.' Who can wait when winter has come and there is no coal, no food? "Negro boys looking for a vacation find a blank wall. They are not allowed to appreciate. They are refused admission to white unions. And yet, well-meaning social workers work to overthrow the negroes of the Negro. In the face of these facts can you give me any good reason for being a Socialist or joining with the "organized forces of labor to overthrow a despotic capitalistic regime"? Why shouldn't Negro labor organize? don't every attempt of labor with capital? Why shouldn't we join in this cuttown fight and help capital thrift white labor? This, it seems to me, is the only way to make white labor see the light. And so urge all Negro laborers to adopt as their "Harrass" to the open shop and to bell with the unions." Socialist Bloc To Organize Negroes New York City - (ANP) - Announcement was made Wednesday that Frank R. Crosswash, Negro Socialist and labor organizer, has been selected to organize on a national scale Negro citizens for the United Colored Socialists of America. "This is the first real and substantial effort made by the American Socialist party to reach the members of my race," said Mr. Crosswash in a recent interview. "The Negro masses," he said, "are tired of treading the weather-beaten political path strewn with the wreckage of deception, broken promises, and politico-economic ties." Mr. Crosswash was formerly one of the organizers of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Previously, he was an organizer for the American Federation of Labor. In 1924, Mr. Crosswash was the Socialist candidate for secretary of state. He was for congress from the 19th District (19th District) of the campaign and ran far ahead of the other Socialist candidates. OFFICE PHONE CAPTTOL 1459 HOURS: 9:30A. M. TO 12:30 M. DR.

It was Jim Erwin and Sonia Movie Orchestra. None of the spectators who had witnessed the historical parade for years and years could remember when a colored band had headed the procession before. The theme of the parade this year was "The Great War." The float was the Glendale entry entitled "A Lady of Shakot." But even this poetic dream itself did not draw any more applause than Erwin's float. Erwin's band has been about two years after a long service in radio work at Kansas City, who has been a big lifeline from the beginning. Among the personnel are: Jim Erwin, drums; Jim Erwin, JE, piano; Dorchner Erwin, xawpone and clarinet Dorchner Erwin, hanjo; John Monder, trumbone, and others who are all artists.

H.ylan, addressing the J. C. Price Lyceum Sunday at a mass meeting, commending Commissioners who have made arrests and arrests recently perpetrated in this city as a gesture for publicity. Mr. Hylan, introduced by Mrs. Irene Morman Blackstone and J. Dalmus Steele as the next "mayor of New York" in the city, "in all seriousness, and then went on flaying the present administration. Hylan told of the many things he had done for colored people in New York when he was mayor. At attacking the mayor, he was on the transit commission on the five cent fare, Hylan told of the disposal of the bus franchise in the city. He also declared that the city officials declared he knew too much and for that reason, he was thrown into the police. A man who could be handled substituted. CONFIDENCE MAN SLAIN BY OFFICER New Orleans, La.—(ANP)—Lee J Williams from Port Arthur, Texas tried his "small change" ruse too hard and is dead at Charity Hospital, having been shot by a policeman Sunday. Dosms of grocery and drug stores has been victimized recently by orders for small purchases to be delivered to certain residences with change for a five, ten or twenty dollar bill. When the delivery was made, Williams would hold up the errand boy and vanish with the change. Sunday night Williams phoned a drug store for some cigars with instructions to send twenty dollars淹令. When the boy arrived, he was grabbed and the officer in hiding shot Williams in the back, the bullet taking an upward course lodging in his neck. FIRST IN INFLUENCE—PAGE SEVEN Chicago Specialist Disagrees With Theory Held By California Scientist Chicago, IL—(ANP)—The theory set forth by Prof. Samuel J. Holmes of the department of Zoology of the University of California, that the black-skinned man is less liable to the skin than Caucasians, was refuted here Tuesday by Dr. T. K. Lawless, local physician and dermatologist, in an interview with a representative of the Associated Negro Press. Professor Samuels in a report to the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, said: "There are several diseases against which the Negro is more or less protected. These include both diverse ailments as skin cancer, bolls, scarlet fever, erysipse, diphtheria, and to-a less degree malnutrition. Commenting on this statement and the statistics cited by Professor Samuels in his article, Dr. Lawless, who is a lecturer at Northwestern University in the department of bermatology and who has specialized in diseases of the skin in leading unintended infections, America and Europe pointed out: "Statistics are very flexible. Their chief purpose being, for some thinkers, to give corrobative support to some points, which have to their own mental satisfaction, previously been proven. Such is the impression given by the California professor, who endeavored to prove that certain germs—the streptococcus—prefer 'white meat to dark,' in other words Negroes are less susceptible to diseases whose etiological factor enters the host usually by the dermal path. "He cites such diverse aliments as chickpeas, cereals, apples, diphtheria, fever, and to a leses degree mecales." "The truth of the matter is this—according to the best in medical thought, as to measles, exposure to cold, the race, sex, etc., exert very little influence in this disease." Diphtheria presents an individual problem. It is more apt to attack members of the 'more well-to-do class.' HEALTH AND BEAUTY FOR THE NEW YEAR; SANE LIVING WILL HELP TO GAIN BOTH What about your appearance? Does each new year reveal heavy impurities of the hand of time? If so, there is something wrong with either your health or your habits. Nowadays, good looks are within the reach of every woman even after she has lost the freshness of youth. Of course, the older you grow, the more need there is for systematic care to keep your skin, hair, hands, finger nails, and figure in good condition. Of beauty, and many women who nourish the lost attractions of their debenture days would be astonished at the rejuvenating results they could obtain by closer acquaintance with soap and hot water. It doesn't matter if your clothes aren't imports from Paris, but if you wear simple and becoming lines, and if your accessories are always clean and dainty. Your list of New Year resolutions won't be complete unless you include a few rules for the improvement of your health and general appearance. For example, if you lose the resolution to obey the rules you have made until they become habits. SOUTHERN GETS NEW DORMITORY AT BATON ROUGE SOUTHERN GETS NEW DORMITORY AT BATON ROUGE Baton Rouge, La.—(ANP)-State Superintendent T. H. Harris of Louisiana has first announced that bids will soon be let for a new dormitory at Southern University, which structure will be a fire-proof building and will cost approximately $100,000. One of Southern University's most difficult problems has been that of trying to accommodate the host of students who seek to obtain their undergraduates and graduate institution for the training of Negro youth. For the past ten years the refrain "more than a hundred students have been turned away because of insufficient dormitory space" has been the new mammoth dormitory, a refrain might continue to be heard, but there will be at least 120 or more youth who will dwell upon "Old Scott's Bluff" and interpret world civilization. A class of the building show that it will be 82 feet by 22 feet, the exterior of Hammond gray brick. It will contain two floors, fifty-four rooms, and basement for trunks, also a separate steam-heating unit. There will be a cigarette parlor, a closet room for students having two lockers each, four general bath rooms. oes and those from small communi- tions than others. Why? As a result of crowded living conditions in the larger cities, close contact of the people living in the rural areas brings into play the self-pe- fective process known as "natural immunity." But unyielding conditions of Living had housing, under- inishment, etc., increase the dispu- tion of the lens favored classes to disease in general. This applies also with racial conditions and accounts for the high incidence of the disease among the colored population in a given locality. "With scarlet fever the chief difficulty hinges largely on the ability of the general medical profession to distinguisher an erythematous color in a dark skin. This is an observation based on a wide experience. But the question is whether the uninitiated and say, 'Negroes and dark-skinned races are decided less liable to it than white races.' The real question here is really one of diagnostic acumen rather than the presence of disease. A second very potent factor mitigating against the reliability of statistics is that among the most common causes of meauses and scarlet fever are given 'home treatment.' Medical advice is not sought. As to built, the frequency among Negroes is so common, that to even include the disease among the other heppeas a glaring unfamiliar with medical literature. Skin cancers are rare in Negroes, but relatively frequent among the light-skinned. "So the same cold statistics which can be used to prove a point can also be used to refute the same. Out of an experience handed upon years of close application to the field, we can see that all types and colors, we are positive that in that great democracy of disease, the various cressors have no preference for the color of their pabulum, but they see the optimum in environmental setting - lowered resistance, increased condition, and undernourishment." Now is a good time to take stock of yourself in order to determine just what progress you have made during the past year. First, there is the all-important question of your health. Have you enjoyed life and had a buckle? If you are not feeling perfectly well, don't take any chance. See a doctor at once. Even if you have none of these symptoms, it is wise to have a complete physical examination at least once a year. You can find information from some organic disturbance and therefore require special diet or treatment, maintained by simple food, at least eight hours sleep a night, of fresh air, rest and recreation. As a further reminder, good health is maintained by daily and wash your hands with soap and water frequently, especially before touching food. If you work hard during the day, combine your hours of leisure with some form of restful recreation. If you have plenty of leisure, cultivate enough intime contact with your family to become moddy or to think too much about yourself. and three long corridors on each floor. The architectural design shows the main entrance to be more beautiful than any of the entrances of buildings in this university campus. In addition to this main entrance, there will be four other ones on the sides and at the rear of the building. The complete structure will cost approximately $100,000. First arrangements did not call for a fire-proof building. In addition, the State Board of Education, the position was taken that all state schools should build for permanence, and as a result orders were given to the architect to revise the plans, substituting concrete for wood, making the structure more durable. This dormitory will be the largest building on the campus, the length excelling that of the science hall and the academic hall by at least 30 or 40 feet. It is expected that the structure will be the close of the third quarter, and it will be in all probability home of college women.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1929 REAL SITUATION AT LOCAL HOSPITAL When Prof. I. M. Terrell, the first superintendent of the hospital and later financial agent, was accused by a certain hospital attack of committing every crime in the criminal catalog, from stealing canned goods from the pantry to an attempted criminal attack upon one of the nurses, this white advisory committee, without "undertaking an inquiry into the conduct of the office," wrote in a letter to Mr. Terrell's accuser were true or false, contended that the time and arrived for Mr. Terrell to sever his relations with the hospital. However, when the present superintendent, who has not been able to work harmoniously with the colored staff, and who has shown almost disrespect and discourtesy to the Negro board, as well as virtually inflaming many of the colored citizens against her management of the institution, failed miserably to sell the hospital to the colored group; and when the Negro board took the position that the future well-being of the institution warranted a response for 1990, this same white advisory committee, which gave Mr. Terrell the ax to the gate, voted "that the charges against the superintendent be tabled, and that if at the end of three months after the new year there appears to any basis for dissatisfaction, the advisory committee will itself undertake an inquiry into the conduct of the office." To substantiate our contention that the white advisory committee has precipitated an issue and brought about an ugly situation, as it relates to the hospital's management and operation by Negroes, we reproduce herewith some of the "decisions" and "eclipses" received by the hospital and autocratic body, as written and dispatched by the secretary of the white advisory committee to the secretary and members of the Negro board of directors: "Following the meeting of the Advisory Committee of the Houston Negro Hospital, on December 17th, I am conveying to you for presentation to the Board, the decisions at which the Committee arrived. "1. It was voted that the following nominations be presented for membership on the Board for the year 1929: J. B. Grigby, Chairman; Homer McCoy, J. S. Scott, C. H. McGruder, W. E. Miller, Gumile Andrews, Virginia B. Miller. "2. Regarding the membership of the Staff for 1929, it was voted (a) That the members of the present colored staff be con- "5. That the Hospital undertake, as soon as it is found to be financially possible, the installation of adequate X-ray and laboratory equipment. That Dr. Shaughter be empowered to plan such arrangements, it being understood that the plans, cost and method of payment, shall be approved by the Advisory Committee before they are given effect. 6. The Advisory Committee that the charge against the Superintendent be tabled, and that if at the end of three months after the new year there appears to be any basis for dissatisfaction, the Advisory Committee will itself undertake an inquiry into the conduct of the office." For the past several months reports have emanated from certain quarters at the Houston Negro Hospital that all the colored doctors were incompetent and inefficient, and that ere long the staff would consist mainly, if not wholly, of white doctors; and now the white advisory committee selects and designates, without conferring or counseling with the Negro board, the following white doctors, terming them as "consultants". Drs. E.W. Appleton, Bertie Barratt, Paul W. Resenberry, J. H. Robert, L. Cox, Gavin Haindon, Sidney Israel, Robert A. Johnston, Allen Kyle, John B. Legnard, Allen L. McMurray, J. C. Michael, J. M. Mitchner, A. Park, A. R. Murdie, P. H. Scardino, Louis J. Spivak, Earl W. Thomas and Carl B. Young. While the white advisory committee also took upon itself the task of reappointing the colored hospital staff, it was more a political gesture than anything else; for in the very next breath or act the advisory committee nullified and outlawed the constitution and by-laws of the hospital staff, which the Negro board had approved. The doctors and surgeons at the cruel mercy of one or two tyrants who seem to dominate and control the white advisory committee. Every time the Negro board insisted upon exercising its constitutional rights, one of the members of the advisory committee has held out the "sad and sorry spectacle" of the hospital being turned over to the city, and the race thereby losing an opportunity to enjoy such privileges for its professional men and women; but losing such privileges is losing them, and we would just as soon Negro doctors ousted by the city than adroitly eliminated by some scheming and pseudo-clever tyrant and czar. WHEN WILL WE LEARN SOME SENSE? A local white theatre, which issued an edict during 1927 excluding Negroes from said playhouse on Saturdays and Sundays, has recently revoked the "Negro ban," and numerous Houston blacks are as jubilant as if they had located a hidden treasure of gold or some other precious metal. When this exclusion edict was originally issued, The Informer took the position that, if Negroes were not allowed to attend this theatre on all nights of the week, they should have more sense and self-respect than to go on the days and nights allotted and set aside for the race. Many local Negroes trotted out all kinds of excuses and explanations for this white theatre's exclusive decree, advancing the argument that Negroes were so noisy and rowdy on Saturdays and Sundays—as if these same boisterous and uncouth blacks would not and did not attend the shows on the other five days and nights of the week. Still another reason was trotted out by the ebony-hued apologists, who insisted that whites attended in such large numbers on Saturdays and Sundays that many of them were forced to stand during the show, while Negroes were occupying seats in their jim-crow balcony; these black defenders of the white playhouse's policy in excluding Negroes on said days and nights further arguing that the Negro attendance was not sufficient on said days and nights to warrant the theatre management in reserving the balcony for the sons and daughters of Ham. The latter argument was fallacious on its 'very face, for Houston Negroes lead their racial brothers and sisters in Texas, if not the entire South, in attending shows on Saturday and Sunday nights. Really, so many local blacks attend shows and theatres on Sunday nights that some of the churches look like a deserted village day nights that some of the churches look like a deserted village. With keen and fierce competition from two other theatres in the same field, pulling hundreds of its white customers away, this local playhouse has not only recinded its former ban on Negroes, but has even given the dusky patrons more space in the balcony. Now, to show our lack of those finer attributes and sensibilities which constitute race and men of red blood and self-respect, scores of local Negroes are broadcasting the fact that this white theatre now permits blacks to attend every day and night, and literally urging and influencing other Negroes to patronize this playhouse which excluded them on certain nights for fully two years. If there is any other race in the world, which would have continued patronizing such a place, or would even now consent to attend its shows after having been excluded for any period of time, The Informer would like do behold such species of the human family. Little wonder is it that other races regard us as a racial joke and treated us as children; for in many respects, we do not have or exercise the sense and judgment of children; and whatever insult is heaped upon the race, even where we do not have to submit to such, we willingly accept same and then have the brazen audacity to try to offer excuses and apologies for the persons and roles helping such health upon us. Listen, folk, until we stop acting so silly and show more horse sense and racial self-respect, let's not get "all hot up," when members of other races, who note our basin acts, refer to and call us "boys."

The American people have ceased to take their situation itself because of the situation itself because a scrap of paper when it suits the mood of the people to make it so. A great publicist defies the part of the constitution which does not suit his taste and fancy, and encourages others to like defiance, without a word of rebuke whose sworn duty it is to safeguard that instrument in its integrity. It is interesting to listen to the local denunciations of our NGR advocate of equal rights, seemingly heeded of the fact that the nation is now under siege by the cold war, with blown of sufficient force and frequency may heat over the coldest metal to the molten point. The moralists express amusement at President Coolidge for presenting the idea of a nuclear in one hand and a request for ten new battleships in the other. To the pragmatic statesman, there is no moral inconsistency. Of course, England will renounce war if convinced that America is the superior in naval power.

SCHUTLER Editor The SPRU HY don't you gimme a break, Baby?" Jimmy Nugent, chief hoofer at the Club Cleo, leaned over one of the club's small tables, his face carelessly intent as he faced June Kane, the club's youngest chorus girl. For some reason Jimmy had "taken" to June right off the bat. Not that June was so beautiful; her bright eyes and black, shiny hair were duplicated at least four times in the club's chorus, while her smooth, brown skin and red mouth were by no means uncommon. Yet there was something different about June; a freshness, a remoteness from the sordid atmosphere of the club. Now as she sat there Jimmy saw the hot blood surge under the velvety skin, her tiny brown hands clenched themselves fiercely. "Lissen, I tole yo' befo' I ain't givin' no breaks to nobody." Her soft southern voice was slightly husky with rising temper. "How do I know?" taunted Jimmy, grinning suddenly. "I don' care whether yo' believe me or no," she muttered, and Jimmy laughed aloud.

"Boots sure comes regular every night," Jimmy interrupted, nodding toward a distant table.

"I ain't the only girl in the club," she said, lowering her eyes; "I hate him!" Jimmy narrowed his eyes, his voice came low and insinuating: "Or maybe you're saving 'em for Pop, our beloved manager."
