Friday, Nov. 1, 1929 Why Colored Citizens Should Support Walker--Berry--McKee OUR PLANK Increased pay for Patrolmen and Firemen — Greater consideration in general for these Public Guardians. Published Friday of every week by the Inter-State matter February 26, 1926, at the Post Office in New York Why Colored Citizen Walker--Be THE rapidly growing colored population of New York City has, under the administration of Mayor James J. Walker been given more recognition and support than it ever had under a previous regime in the history of the City, a survey of municipal facts and figures discloses. It shows that during the last four years the increase in the number of colored residents has far offset any other period. Not only has the present city administration seen to the material needs of the colored people, but it has guaranteed to them a proper and equal voice in political matters, along with the greatest number of public positions ever given to members of the race. It is a significant fact that the civil service, under which hundreds of capable colored people have been brought into the city's employ has for one of its Commissioners a colored man. This colored man sits on one of the most important commissions in the entire city as a representative of the democratic party. There is not a department of the city government into which colored workers have not been welcome under the Walker administration, and in which they have not been given a full and equal chance for advancement. In addition to the general protection given them politically the administration has pushed many important movements for specific improvements in the sections chiefly inhabited by the colored people. The City has given careful attention to the destitute colored children of New York. There are now being maintained 1,015 such children in the colored orphan asylums, St. Benedict's Asylum at Rye, N. Y., the New York Foundling Hospital and the New York Nursery and Children's Hospital. In addition to this, the City annually is providing thousands of dollars for needy colored war veterans. By reason of the character of the population surrounding it, the Harlem Hospital on Lenox Avenue has become practically a colored institution. Of its 400 beds, 90 per cent are occupied by colored people. In this institution will be found colored doctors, colored internes, colored nurses, colored supervisors of nurses and colored orderlies. The rapid growth of the colored population in Harlem with the congested condition of housing has brought a problem in the thousands of colored children born in the Harlem Hospital. The Walker administration took pains to relieve the crowded wards of the hospital by appropriating funds for a new maternity pavilion, notwithstanding the great expense involved in the acquisition of improved property adjacent to the hospital. This land is now being purchased. Commissioner Schroeder, Jr., of the Department of Hospitals has approved plans for the new pavilion, and when this building is completed it will provide for 275 additional patients. A new building for nurses, which is to cost $750,000 has been provided by appropriation, and this improvement will permit the increase in the number of nurses from 150 to 300. Other appropriations amounting to $350,000 have been made for this hospital. The total appropriations for Harlem Hospital amounted to $2,275,000. When the City took over the Lincoln Hospital from private ownership it did so with the distinct understanding that a new building would be erected for a training school for colored nurses. This is the largest training school for colored nurses in the country, with capacity for 210 students. All the nurses of the Lincoln Hospital are colored, as are also many of the doctors. Acting upon the petition of the Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, the Rush Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, the Rendle Presbyterian Church, the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, the St. James Presbyterian Church, the Metropolitan Baptist Church, the First Emanuel Church and many other colored religious institutions, the Walker administration has provided for the 369th Infantry a new administration building, which will cost more than $1,000,000 and for which plans are now being drawn. The building will not only serve the old 15th Regiment which rendered notable service during the World War, but it will be available as a great civic center and place for public assemblage for the residents of Harlem. There has been a distinct effort on the part of the Tenement House Department of the City to force landlords to keep tenements in the Harlem section in a livable condition. A cycle inspection of the entire colored section, from 116th Street to 145th Street and from the The Interstate Jattler Harlem River to Edgecomb Avenue, was made by fifty inspectors. They visited 1,664 buildings and filed 536 violations against the landlords. In 186 houses the inspectors themselves removed encumberances from fire escapes, and a general move was put under way to bring about better housing conditions for the entire section. The City maintains at 135th Street a public library which has been given special care and consideration in the matter of appropriations. In it there has been developed during the past four years a reference collection on the history of the Negro, which is considered by library authorities to be the finest in the world. One set of books alone cost $10,000. At the library are conducted lectures and discussions on subjects for the benefit of the colored people. The Borough President of Manhattan, Mr. Julius Miller has put under way the construction of a $200,000 swimming pool for colored people on East 134th Street. Here young boys will be taught to swim, and the pool will be the center for water sports. The Walker administration increased the number of colored men on the Police Department from 39 to 88. It appointed to office a colored police surgeon, and other colored employees, bringing the total of colored members of the Police Department to 96. At the request of Commissioner Whalen, $275,000 has been provided for the construction of a new police station in West 135th Street. The New York Fire Department has the only colored officer in charge of a fire company in any big city of this country. This fire fighter was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant a year ago by the Walker administration when pressure was brought to bear in an effort to influence the Fire Commissioner not to promote him. Mr. Dorman, the Fire Commissioner, not only promoted him to the officer rank, but assigned him to remain right in the same fire company where he served as a fireman, thereby putting an end to the pressure that was attempted against the Negro's promotion. Special attention has been given to the paving of streets in the colored section of Harlem and a new Court House costing $650,000 has recently been opened. Traffic lights have been installed by the Walker administration on Fifth Avenue, Madison Avenue, Lenox Avenue, Seventh Avenue, and next year on Eighth Avenue as well. Some of the largest and finest schools in the entire city are maintained in the colored section. There are now two parks, which are surrounded by colored people—St. Nicholas Park and Colonial Park have been given care and money has been appropriated for the benefit of these residents. The City conducts during the summer season band concerts at St. Nicholas Park. There are a number of other smaller sections of the City in which groups of colored people reside. They have all had the unflagging attention of the Walker-Berry-McKee administration. October 17, 1929. Hon. Joseph Johnson, Commissioner of Public Works—Manhattan, Municipal Building New York City. My dear Mr. Commissioner: I hasten to acknowledge and to thank you most cordially for your communication of October 15 advising us that the concrete roadway on 150th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues has been duly repaired by your department, the work being completed October 10.

Each of the agents entered one or two models to display their work. The revue was opened by little Odessa Livingstone, four years old, who sang "I've Got Nothin' Else to Give but Love, Baby" and was received with much enthusiasm. The revue of models followed. A large box—about nine feet high and three feet wide—was built to represent the box in which the Walker Preparations are put up for sale. This box, which made a very striking picture, was decorated by Wilfred "Woodie" Woodruff. Through the doors opened by little Odessa Livingstone and Janet Bergen, dressed in the Walker colors of Black and Orange (black panties and orange blouses), walked the models, escorted to the center of the floor by toe dancers—little Arline Richardson and Minnie Reed—bearing the card on which was painted the name of the agent represented. The program was concluded by Jeppe Johnston and five of her dancing shadows who did several excellent numbers. Miss Johnston, herself, did a specialty number. Woodie Woodruff of the Fish Club did all the announcing, and other mem- bers of the Fish Club-Bill Hoskins, Paul Roane, Woodie Woodruff, George Cummings, Bill Crampton, wearing tuxedos and orange flowers to carry out the color scheme-served as ushers. Mrs. Nellie Jones, president of the Union, was introduced to the gathering and she in turn introduced Mrs. Maybelle Roane, manager of the Walker building and the committee in charge of the affair-Jane B. Terry Johnson, chairman of the program; Louise T. Sweeney, secretary; Sarah Motley, treasurer; Anna Williams, Bernice Ince, Josephine Mapp and Bell Ford. * * * Myrtle Whyte, builder of smart CORA GREEN who delighted Harlem movie fans last week when she ap- peared in her singing short made by Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer chapeaux, entertained the Mermaids, auxiliary to the Fish Club, Inc., last Thursday evening.

Last season this affair was one of the smartest of the season and the committee composed of "Hap" Levy, "Jimmie" Allen, "Doc" Donaldson, "Abie" Wright and "Charley" Collier are working hard to make their affair excell that of last year. The boys of the Omicron are having weekly smokers to work up the proper amount of enthusiasm for the occasion. Many guests from Boston, Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia are expected ot be present. Incidentally the Annual Grand Conclave of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity will be held in the South for the first time in the history of the organization. The hospitable little city of Durham, N. C., has been selected and already the program plan has been announced. The Eastern Publicity Director of the Grand Chapter, James Egert Allen, announces that a large delegation will be on hand from New York. In this group will be Edward Levy Charles Collier, Roger Cheney, James Asbury, Harcourt Tynes and wife, and Dr. Alma Mary Haskins. The entire Atlantic seaboard is looking forward to the coming of the Kappa boys in December. The Grand Polemarch, Archie A. Alexander of Des Moines, who recently flew from Des Moines to Omaha, Nebr., with a party of five, is expected to wing his way to Durham for the conclave. There are sixty chapters of this Fraternity, many of them located in the leading colleges of the country. Omicron Chapter is identified with Columbia University in New York City. It has on its roster some of the leading citizens of Harlem. Many of them are expecting to mingle with the Spauldings, the Shepherds, the Moores, the Shearins and the Pearsons in the million dollar city of Durham during the session of the conclave. * * * The Savoy, "the world's finest ballroom," Charlie Buchanan, manager, staged its annual Arabian Nights Costume Ball last Wednesday. Awards were made by Broadway celebrities for the best comic, fancy and original costumes at the end of the grand promenade at midnight. Like all Harlem fancy dress affairs, the gentlemen from the downtown choruses who thrill over the donning of feminine attire were by far in the majority. But after all one has to admit that they know how to wear clothes and certainly give the best shows. * * * The Eighth Semi-annual Older Boys' and Girls Conference of New York City was held at St. Martin's Chapel. Saturday and Sunday, October 26th and 27th. The theme of the Conference was "Has Education Through the Study of Science Distracted the Interest of Youth from Religion." The keynote address for Saturday was delivered by Rev. Paul E. Baker of the Federation of Churches. The discussion groups were led by Mr. Hilton Mayers, Mr. King and Mrs. Terry. The following officers were elected for the ensuing term: Mr. Willard Pinn, President; Mr. Wells, first vicepresident; Miss S. Davis, second vicepresident; Miss Lavinia Terry, secretary; Miss MacIntosh, treasurer, and Mr. Leon Coles, Chaplin. Miss E. Kemp, registrar. At the Sunday session, the outgoing President, Mr. W. Elligor, delivered his annual address. Rev. W. A. Booker was the main speaker for Sunday. The next conference will be held at Mother Zion A. M. E. Church in May. We cordially invite all young men and women between the ages of 15 and 28 to attend the council meetings which are held the first Monday in each month at Metropolitan Baptist Church, 128th Street and Seventh Avenue. * * * The Citizens' Christmas Cheer Committee, a group organized to spread Christmas cheer throughout the year is putting forth every effort to make their coming Charity Costume Ball at Renaissance Casino on Monday evening, November 4th, a success.

In addition, there are posts to be filled in various Municipal Courts. The Democratic Party has nominated for the Supreme Court Justice William T. Collins, Justice Albert Cohn, both of whom are now sitting in the Supreme Court; District Attorney John A. McGeehan of the Bronx, the Hon. Irwin Untermyer and Edward R. Finch, now in the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court. Justice Collins' activity as an Acting Mayor of the City of New York is too well known to be dwelled upon here. He has been especially active in various Irish societies and it can be truthfully said that no more able and favored Irishman ever was in public life in New York City. Justice Albert Cohn has made such a brilliant record as an Assistant District Attorney and County Judge in the Bronx that he has won universal praise as a lawyer and a jurist. Men of all races and creeds have lauded him for his welfare work in his home, the County of the Bronx. The records show that District Attorney John E. McGeehan is one of the greatest vote-getters who ever ran for public office in the Bronx. His popularity is built on a lifetime of service to his fellow man. His accomplishments as a Judge of the City Court and Justice of the Supreme Court and as a prosecuting officer have attracted city-wide attention. He is a vigorous campaigner and in the political battle now being waged already has made thousands of new friends. The Hon. Irwin Untermyer is a very distinguished lawyer, but his chief claim to popular fame probably always will rest on the fact that he is the man who, by his efforts and talents, saved the "five-cent fare" for the six million residents of the City of New York and his fight before the United States Supreme Court as Counsel for the City in the fight against the Rapid Transit Trust for the seven-cent fare will always remain a prominent page in the history of legal performances. While other lawyers obtained huge sums for their part of this great legal struggle, Mr. Untermyer refused to accept one penny. He devoted a year of his time and talents to this work to save the five-cent fare and paid out of his own pocket all the expenses incidental to the preparation and presentation of this case. This he did as a public service and there are many persons politically wise who believe that he --- 214 JUSTICE WILLIAM T. COLLINS M. R. H. IRWIN UNTERMYER will reap his reward on Election Day in the form of a tremendous plurality. Judge Finch is now sitting in the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court. He has been endorsed by both parties. His splendid record in that court insures for him the vote which he so richly deserves. Distinguished jurors and lawyers have endorsed the candidacies of these men. The Central Trades and Labor Council representing 800,000 organized workers in the City of New York also has these candidates. JUSTICE WILLIAM T. COLLINS is now serving on the Supreme Court bench, having been appointed by former Governor Alfred E. Smith. Justice Collins has served as Acting Mayor of New York City, as President of the Board of Aldermen, and as County Clerk of New York County. He is proud of the fact that he was born on the east side of New York 43 years ago, and still lives there. His education was obtained at St. Gabriel's Parochial School, St. Francis Xavier High School and College. From the latter he obtained the degree of B.A. in 1908. Justice Collins ★ 214 JUSTICE ALBERT COHN served for a time as a teacher in Public School 22 of this city, and later was graduated from Fordham Law School. Justice Collins obtained a wide and varied experience in the office of the Corporation Counsel, which was of great value to him later. As Chairman of the Committee on General Welfare of the Board of Aldermen and as the Democratic floor leader of that body he made a brilliant record. Justice Collins' father, the late Jeremiah F. Collins, was a veteran of the Civil War. Justice Collins himself was quick to respond to his country's call at the outbreak of the World War. He obtained a leave of absence from the Board of Aldermen and with the late John Purroy Mitchel, former Mayor, enlisted in the United States Army Aviation Corps as a private and at the close of the war he had risen to the rank of Lieutenant. JUSTICE ALBERT COHN has the distinction of having been twice appointed to judicial office. He was named for the County Court of Bronx County by former Governor Alfred E. Smith, and was selected to be a 214 JUSTICE EDWARD R. FINCH 214 JOHN E. McGEEHAN Justice of the Supreme Court by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. The records of Bronx County show that he has occupied many positions of public trust. He was born in the City of New York in 1885, and was graduated from P. S. 77, Manhattan, and later from the College of the City of New York and New York Law School. He was admitted to the Bar in October, 1908. Justice Cohn served as Assistant District Attorney in Bronx County for eight years, for the last three of which he served as Chief Assistant District Attorney. Justice Cohn was appointed by former Governor Smith as County Judge on January 1, 1925, and the following Fall he was elected for a full term as County Judge. His four years of splendid work on that bench attracted wide attention, and in March of this year Governor Roosevelt elevated him from the County Court to the Supreme Court bench, which position he is now occupying. JOHN E. McGEEHAN has had wide experience in the Courts of this city. He served as a City Magistrate by appointment of the late Mayor John ★ --- Page Eleven liant Jurists, Lawyers and Leaders of Organized Labor Join in Paying High Tribute to Men Put Forth for Important Posts in City's Leading Courts. Purroy Mitchel and also by appointment of former Mayor John F. Hylan. He was a Magistrate when he was elected by the voters of New York and Bronx Counties to be a Judge of the City Court. He resigned his post on the bench to accept his present position as District Attorney of Bronx County. The appointment to this office was made by former Governor Alfred E. Smith January 1, 1924. Judge McGeehan has twice been elected as District Attorney of the Bronx. Judge McGeehan was born in downtown New York 47 years ago at what was then known as 211 Elm street, now Lafayette street. For the past quarter of a century he has lived in the Bronx. He is married and resides at 1720 Grand avenue, Bronx. Judge McGeehan was graduated from St. Francis Xavier College and Fordham University, and was admitted to the Bar in 1912. Prior to his admission to the Bar he taught in the Public Schools of the City of New York. IRWIN UNTERMYER is probably best known to the citizens of New York as the man who won the 5 cent fair case in the U. S. Supreme Court. When the Interborough Subway and Elevated lines, in March, 1923, obtained an increase of fare from 5 cents to 7 cents, the 6,000,000 residents of New York City were justly agitated. Then Irwin Untermyer, without compensation, gave more than a year of his time and efforts in preserving the 5 cent fare. He argued and won the case in the U. S. Supreme Court thereby saving the traveling public of New York $26,000,000 a year. Irwin Untermyer was born in this city in 1886. He attended Columbia College and Law School. He was admitted to practice in 1910, and was subsequently admitted to the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States. In 1912 he married Miss Louise Feuchtwanger. He is a member of the law firm of Guggenheimer, Untermyer & Marshall, of which Mr. Louis Marshall, until his recent death, was a partner. He has been active in important litigation in the highest courts of this State and of the United States. --- JUSTICE EDWARD R. FINCH, now sitting in the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, was twice appointed to that Court, once by former Governor Nathan L. Miller, and again by former Governor Alfred E. Smith. He was graduated from Yale, and from Columbia Law School. He served on a special mission to Brazil by appointment of the President of the United States, which commission was headed by Charles Evans Hughes. Justice Finch is President of the Phi Beta Kappa Alumni, Vice-President of the St. Nicholas Society, Junior Warden of St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church, and Trustee of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

However there are the following contributory factors: exposure to cold, frequent prolonged fatigue, sexual excesses, intemperance in the use of alcohol and tobacco, infectious diseases and injuries. The disease occurs more frequently in males than in females, and in the better class of society. It is also seen more frequently in the intelligent than among the ignorant and oftener in the white than in the colored races. Heredity may play a part. Fatigue from forced marches and occupations requiring excessive use of the legs may have something to do with hastening the development of tabes. The disease occurs more frequently among those who are on their feet, than those who live a quiet life. Tabes occurs most frequently in middle life, and there is no period of immunity. It may occur in infants and in men seventy years of age. Usually an interval of from five to twenty years is required for the development of the disease, but it may appear within one-half to fifty years after the chancre. There is a degeneration of the posterior part of the cord which is due directly to the syphilitic germ and not to the inflammation. Syphilitic germs are found in the spinal fluid and in the structure of the spinal cord. SYRACUSE, N. X., by WILLIAM H. JACKSON.

EVERYBODY wants to wine and dine the victor, but only our sincere friends who truly believe in us, banquet us before we win. So Honey Brown, just to prove how much she thought of the idea of a Negro Congressional candidate, gave a banquet Wednesday night at Bamboo Inn in honor of Hubert T. Delany. It was a marvelous party, the kind that the gracious Miss Brown would plan. A special section of the spacious Bamboo Inn was especially set aside for her guests. A delicious supper was served, her Chicago syncopators played their best, the entertainers stepped their highest, and the Honey herself did some particular stunts for them. In due time she presented Mr. Delany with a charming speech of good wishes, and our candidate expressed his appreciation not only in appropriate words, but also having his only dance of the evening with the hostess. It was truly a victory celebration and the whoopee went on without a dull moment until three-thirty. After all, some people do live up to their names, and what could be sweeter than honey. Among the guests were: Hon. John Clifford Hawkins, Charles W. B. Mitchell, Hamilton Travis, George I.

BAIN, Theatrical Editor At The Lafayette One of the world's greatest dancers, and the outstanding talking dramatic hit of the year are combining this week to draw capacity audiences to the Lafayette Theatre. The dancer is Eddie Rector heading his revue "Sunshine For All;" the picture is the all-talking, dancing, singing photoplay version of Jed Harris' famous Broadway stage melodrama "Broadway." This program opened on Saturday in accordance with the new policy of the Lafayette Theatre and will terminate after the midnight show on Friday. Our readers will undoubtedly recall that Eddie Rector replaced Bill Robinson as the star of Lew Leslie's 'Blackbirds" and that his marvelous dancing created a sensation in Paris and in London. Rector's style is different from that employed by the famous "Bojangles." Robinson is undoubtedly the greatest colored dancer on the stage, but in some phases of fancy tap dancing, namely buck and wing dancing, critics believe that Rector is the greater of the two. The cast supporting Rector in "Sunchine for All" is exceptionally good. It includes Madeline Belt, Pee Wee and Eddie, Sonny Mitchell, Margaret Beckett, Sonny Lee, Kelly, Hall and Connelly, Billie and Jeanette (a sister team new to the local stage, "Cry WANTED Chorus Girls Lady Musicians Vaudeville Acts Musical Tab Shows Singers, Dancers, etc. Apply Immediately We Have Work for You!

Three men compete for her heart and hand—Billie Sheppard, Stanleigh Morrell and George Randol. The girl is Edna Harris and her best friend is Artie Cain. Her father is Thomas Moseley, and the old servant is Bessie Wrightson who advises her to try to read her future in a looking-glass according to the legend of Hallowe'en. "Laugh Louder!" has great mirth-making opportunities for Sam Manning in his popular character of "Mr. Squashi," Edgar Martin, Ruth Trent, a clever comedienne from the West, the always refreshing Manda Randolph, and all the others.

Community Cinema Opens The Community Cinema located on Lenox Avenue between 140th and 141st Streets which will open its doors to the public Friday night. November 1, strikes a new note among Harlem theatres. It is an intimate theatre. Done in modernistic design with soft lighting effects, its appeal is immediate. The lobby carrying out the same color tone has a salon in which coffee and sandwiches will be served by courtesy of the management to all patrons. Clean, wholesome progressive set in the charm of a little theatre, that has a personality is what the Community Cinema offers. Movietones, technicolor films, synchronized pictures and many novelties are among its promised features. "Saharis" which coming direct from the 55th Street Playhouse after four weeks phenomenal success will be the opening feature. Garland Howard's "My Gal", his latest production, opened last week in the Lyceum Theatre, Patterson, N. J., under the name of "Darktown Scandals.'

"HARLEM" in its revised form and after being banned in out laying sections of New York was brought back to Broadway last week and parked itself in the Eltinge Theatre for an indefinite stay, is the opinion of this reviewer. The play which caused heated discussion on the part of black and white alike is just as thrilling as before and still throbbing with excitement. The plot, with which most of New York, especially Harlem, is familiar, deals with trials and tribulations of a hard-working Southern family, in their attempt to eke out a living from Harlem's happygo-lucky residents. Alma Smith, former "Show Boat" chorus girl has the lead role in Harlem, and takes off the part of Cordelia Williams made famous by Isabelle Washington.

Paul Robeson By . English Writer Flays Prejudice London Critic Acclaims Singer as Genius in Lengthy Review —Comparable with Old Masters Is View . : of Famed Writer. , By WILFRED R. BAIN pA ROBESON, colored America’s own, has returned to the Jand of: his birth after a sojourn in foreign lands, bringing with him the plaudits of Europe’s teeming white millions, and no one is more proud of the fact than your humble servant. For it was this same individual who sponsored a banquet in honor of Paul’s debut on the dramatic stage, in the role of “Emperor Jones” several years ago, realizing as he did that he even then possessed the ear marks of coming greatness. We recall the little speech which inspired us on that occasion: “We are looking forward to the day when the star in your theatrical horizon will shine forth with the brilliancy of a Mars and that your fame will have become world-wide.” And as if to confirm our early beliefs one of England’s greatest journalists has given Paul Robéson the palm of a genius in the fol- lowing language: James Douglas, no upstart who runs wild in the field of journalism, but the trained mind of the London “Daily Ex press” whose writing on Jeritza, Puccini, Cherkassky, Woilff, the child violinist; Vronsky, the world’s greatest lady pianist; Rachmaninoff, Albert Coates, the Lener Quartette, world’s greatest string quartette; Florence Austrai, John Amadia, Mozjourkine and a host of others, has made one to bask in imagination in that sunshine of culture which is the old world, and has also made us thrill to the success of one of us in Europe. Says Mr. Douglas; “There are revelations which melt the worldling’s hard heart and renew the world’s withered mind. After they pass, even the worldling is sad, because the things which he has seen he can see no more. He sighs as he watches thhe glory die away and fade into the light of common day.” : “Ll went into Drury Lane Theatre to hear Paul Robeson sing- ing Negro spirituals. For nearly two hours he transfigured the packed house of worldlings with mystical emotion. We sat there in a trance of noiseless ecstacy as he touched our heartstrings with his marvellous voice. “He is more than a great actor and a great singer. He is a great man, who creates the soul of a people in bondage, and shows you its true kinship with the fettered soul of man. We became like little children as we surrendered to his magicat genius. “We laughed and wept. He broke our hearts with beauty. As he wiped the tears from his eyes we wiped the tears from ours. He shook some of us into sobs. We applauded until we were weary, and we made him sing till he was weary. I have never seen a more unsated and unsatisfied audience. “What is the secret of his mastery of all our highest moods and all our holiest emotions? He stands there in a plain tweéd suit, holding a piece of paper in his two immobile hands. Not a gesture. He is a giant, an athlete, a Rugby player and a man of culture. “He is not quite black or quite white. His skin is a meflow ivory. His features are negroid, but they are so plastic that they shape every shade of feeling and imagination. His lips and his eyes change with every tone of dramatic vision in his voice. “There were seconds when his face was alight and aflame with seership. We saw the rapt mysticism gathering in intensity until it reached the height of the mood, and then it slowly faded like a sunset, and he locked the door on it with a tightened tense mouth, “Before he sings a note he looks at you with his dream-charged eyes. Then, as you yield to his powerful domination, he turns his head with a smile to Lawrence Brown at the piano, and nods. He has you, and he holds you in a dream-state till the song creeps back into the silence out of which it came. “Vainly I seek for comparisons. kind, the hidden songs that all There is none.

It is effortless enchantment moving through fluctuant states of thought and feeling. “As the house was swept along the path of prophecy I knew that, as a people, we are mystical to the core, and that even the world- jest worldling is capable of being captured by the great, good sim- plicities of religious faith. “Water Boy, where are you hiding?’ ‘Hear de Lambs a-cryin’,’ ‘My soul’s a witness for de Lord,’ ‘’m gonna tell God all my troub- les, ‘Were you there?’ ‘Steal away to Jesus,’ Deep River,’ These songs open the old wisdom we despise, the ancient arcana that we deride. “Strange that a Negro singer out of ‘Show Boat’ should be able to fill a vast theatre with the divine witchery of Bunyan and Wesley, and reveal to astonished world- lings the world beyond their world.” Then does it really matter that a common hostelry like the one , IN FONDEST MEMORY OF OUR DEAR FRIEND e@ Florence Mills Deceased November Ist, 1927 ALMA SMITH BILLIE CAIN All the World Is Lonely AH the world ‘Is lonely For a little Blackbird, For our one and only Little Florence, so dear.

Judge McGeehan, Justice Cohn and _ Justice Finch Complete Noted Slate. ‘The political campaign in New York City is noteworthy this year because of the: large number of places to be ‘filled:.in the Judiciary. There are five Supreme Court Justices to be elected; two Justices of the City Court, and a Judge of the Court of General Sessions. In addition, there are posts to be filled in various Mu- nicipal Courts. The Democratic Party has nomi- nated for the Supreme Court Justice William T. Collins, Justice Albert Cohn, both of whom are now sitting in the Supreme Court; District At- torney John A. McGeehan of the Bronx, the Hon. Irwin Untermyer and Edward R. Finch, now in the Appel- late Division of the Supreme Court. Justice Collins’ activity as an Act- ing Mayor of the City of New York is too well known to be dwelled upon here. He has been especially active in various Irish societies and it can be truthfully said that no more able and favored Irishman ever was in public life in New York City. Justice Albert Cohn has made such a brilliant record as an Assistant District Attorney and County Judge in the Bronx that he has won uni- versal praise a8 & lawyer and a jurist. Men of all races and creeds have Jauded him for his welfare work in hig home, the County of the Bronx. The records show that District At- torney John KE. McGeehan is one of the greatest vote-getters who ever ran for public office in the Bronx. His popularity is puilt on a lifetime of service to his fellow man. His accomplishments as a Judge of the City Court and Justice of the Su- preme Court and as @& prosecuting officer have attracted city-wide atten- tion. He is a vigorous campaigner and in the political battle now being waged already has made thousands of new friends. The Hon. Irwin Untermyer is 2 very distinguished lawyer, put his chief claim to popular fame probably always will rest on the fact that he ig the man who, by his efforts and talents, saved the “five-cent fare” fo! the six million residents of the City of New York and his fight before the United States Supreme Court as Counsel for the City in the figh against the Rapid Transit Trust fo! the seven-cent fare will always re main a prominent page in the his tory of legal performances. Whil other lawyers obtained huge sums fo their part of this great legal struggle Mr. Untermyer refused to accept on penny. He devoted a year of his tim and talents to this work to save th five-cent fare and paid out of his ow! pocket all the expenses incidental t the preparation and presentation © thig case.

Distinguished jurors and lawyers have endorsed the candidacies of these men. The Central Trades and Labor Council representing 800,000 organized workers in the City of New York also has these candidates. JUSTICE WILLIAM T. COLLINS is now serving on the Supreme Court pencb, having been appointed by for- mer Governor Alfred EB. Smith. Justice Collins has served as Acting Mayor of New York City, as Presi- dent of the Board of Aldermen, and as County Clerk of New York County. He is proud of the fact that he was born on the east side of New York 43 years ago, and still lives there. His education was obtained at St. Ga- priel’s Parochial School, St. Francis Xavier High School and _ College. From the latter he obtained the. de- gree of B.A. in 1908.

Justice Collins obtained a wide and varied experience in the office of the Corporation Counsel, which was of great value to him later. As Chair- man of the Committee on General Welfare of the Board of Aldermen and as the Democratic floor leader of that body he made a brilliant record. Justice Collins’ father, the late Jeremiah F. Collins, was a veteran of the Civil War. Justice Collins him- self was quick to respond to his coun- try’s call at the outbreak of the World War. He obtained a leave of absence from the Board of Aldermen and with the late John Purroy Mit- chel, former Mayor, enlisted in the United States Army Aviation Corps | as a private and at the elose of the war he had risen to the rank of Lieutenant.

FINCH JOHN E. McGEEHAN Justice of the Supreme Court by Gov- ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt. The records of Bronx County show that he has occupied many positions of public trust. He was born in the City of New York in 1885, and was graduated from P. S. 77, Manhattan, and later from the College of the City of New York and New York Law School. He was admitted to the Bar in October, 4908. Justice Cohn served as Assist- ant District Attorney in Bronx Coun- ty for eight years, for the last three of which he served as Chief Assistant District Attorney. Justice Cohn was appointed by former Governor Smith as County Judge on January 1, 1925, and the fol- lowing Fall he was elected for a full term as County Judge. His four years | of splendid work on that bench at- tracted wide attention, and in March of this year Governor Roosevelt ele- yated him from the County Court to the Supreme Court bench, which po- sition he is now occupying. JOHN EB. McGEEHAN has had wide experience in the Courts of this city. He served as a City Magistrate by ap- pointment of the late Mayor John liant | a Jurists, Lawyers and Leaders of Organized Labor Join in Paying High Tribute to Men Put Forth for Import- ant Posts in City’s Leading Courts. Purroy Mitchel and also by appoint- ment of former Mayor John F. Hylan. He was a Magistrate when he was elected by the voters of New York and Bronx Counties to be a Judge of the City Court. He resigned his post on the bench to accept his pres- ent position as District Attorney of Bronx County. The appointment to this office was made by former Gov- ernor Alfred E. Smith January 1, 1924. Judge McGeehan has twice been elected as District Attorney of the Bronx. Judge McGeehan was born in down- town New York 47 years ago at what was then known as 211 Elm sireet, now Lafayette street. For the past quarter of a century he has lived in the Bronx. He is married and resides at 1720 Grand avenue, Bronx. Judge McGeehan was graduated from St. Francis Xavier College and Fordham University, and was ad- mitted to the Bar in 1912. Prior to his admission to the Bar he taught in the Public Schools of the City of New York. IRWIN UNTERMYER is probably best known to the citizens of New York as the man who won the 5 cent fair case in the U. S. Supreme Court. When the Interborough Subway and Elevated lines, in March, 1923, ob- tained an increase of fare from 5 cents to 7 cents, the 6,000,000 residents of New York City were justly agi- tated. Then Irwin Untermyer, without compensation, gave more than a year of his time and efforts in preserving the 5 cent fare. He argued and won the case in the U. S. Supreme Court— thereby saving the traveling public of New York $26,000,000 a year. Irwin Untermyer was born in this city in 1886. He attended Columbia College and Law School. He was ad- mitted to practice in 1910, and was subsequently admitted to the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States. In 1912 he married Miss Louise Feuchtwanger. He is a mem- ber of the law firm of Guggenheimer, Untermyer & Marshall, of which Mr. Louis Marshall, until his recent death, was a partner.

Oh, we are not going to sty or an Al Masters—but we do desire NEW YORK will fill historic Polo Grounds Saturday next, when Hampton Institute and Lincoln University, two of the finest race institutions of learning trot their respective football elevens across the well kept greensward of Johnny McGraw's Giants. Both Charlie Williams and Juice Jamieson of Hampton and Lincoln respectively, predict victory for their squad, and in the matter of real honest-to-goodness thrills,—only an Army-Notre Dame clash might be comparable. We do know that in Allen Weatherford, coach Gideon Smith of Hampton has a real triple threat artist who compares rather favorably with the best seen in the East this year with the leading white university grid teams. Oh, we are not going to style Weatherford another Chris Cagle or an Al Masters—but we do desire to convey the impression that he is one sweet pumpkin of a footballer. His play in the Virginia game last week was of a high order, he was right on top of the play throughout, and his gains were consistently long and brilliant. Smith feels that Weatherford will be the outstanding player on the Polo Grounds field November 2nd. But there is still another dark hued brother (no pun intended) in the wood chest—Sam Gains, who plays a tackle like Duke Slater of Iowa was wont to. BRONX WHIRLWINDS G. F. P.

It's the first time in history that two Negro College teams have played in the Big city. What a day for "Harlem" and "Harlem" is getting ready to give the teams a welcome long to be remembered. No, we can't venture to pick the winner. We have our choice, however, judged solely on physical condition and fitness which I know to be necessary elements to success in life as in football. The Hampton coaches stress physical condition. Compelling her doughy sons to get up as early as 5 in the morning to take their mileage—10 in number—followed by a five-hour daily practice. If Lincoln is in condition the game will be close. I have known few colleges to make physical condition a chief asset as do Hampton and Tuskegee. A crowd of whites will be there. Harlem is expected to be there. I pick Hampton by three touchdowns. At one time we could mention Howard and Lincoln, Shaw and Hampton, and we had all the best and oldest teams playing the great foot game. But those days are gone forever. If you want to study football history these days you must not overlook the different football organizations that our colleges have formed. North, East, South and West there are large and small colleges and schools that play a brand of football that demands attention. There is the C. I. A. A. among Eastern schools, organized in 1911 by Charles Williams of Hampton, Director of Physical Education. Howard, Lincoln, Va. Union and Shaw are in the Association. There are seven others in this class whom we could also name. Then there is the most recent Collegiate football association that came into birth last season. The C. C. C. which included colleges and play other colleges only. Coach Harvey of Morehouse, Chief Aiken of A. U. and Taylor of Clark figured in the birth of this organization. In this class there are Morehouse, Fisk, Atlanta, Morris-Brown and Clark with many others. Coach Long of Wiley presides in the Southwestern conference including Paul Quinn, Wiley, Texas College, Bishop and Prairie View. Bluefield High in West Va., and Armstrong at D. C. take the leadin High School football among us. The first mentioned coached by Jefferson has taken the measure of many a college and went through a season without even being scored on. Surprises of the week came when Howard lost to Smith 19-0 and Lincoln was snowed under by Va. Union 13-6. In the Collegiate world among Negro schools, Wiley is the Highest scorer, holding an 81-0 victory over Straight University. P --- THE FOOTBALL TEAM Stalwart and fearless lads like these from a portion of the country that dotes on "He-Men", will provide no end of thrills for the 30,000 and more who are expected to jam the Polo Grounds Saturday, November 2nd, for classic Hampton-Lincoln gridiron battle.

Cleveland Courteers Fall Before Mighty Renaissance Lopchik Misses Aid of Pete Barry and 'Dutch' Dehnert—Brooklyn Dodgers Sunday Nite WHILE everyone in the basketball realm realizes all too well that to call anyone World's Champions without consulting the Original Celtics is rather out of line.

Only Lopchick of the Shamrock dreadnaughts played against the World's Colored Basketball Champions Sunday, Nat Hickey, Husta, Schieffer and Ray Kennedy making up the full team. The work of Cooper at center for the Renaissance players was excellent, aside from being high point scorer for his team, the powerful Philadelphia who is as strong as a lion, made life rather miserable for the towering Lopchik throughout the forty minutes of play. Next Sunday night the strong and troublesome Brooklyn Dodgers will face the locals. Hebrews Lose to Collegians Before a good sized audience that yelled themselves hoarse at beautiful Alhambra Ballroom—126th Street and Seventh Avenue, Archie Searle's crack Collegians licked the 92nd Street branch of the Young Men's Hebrew Association last Saturday evening. The Hebrew lads had the great Greenberg in their lineup and though he did yeoman service, the bronzed tinted Harlemites who are the State amateur champions, rolled up a fourteen-point victory margin. 50-36. Steele, Lind, Livingstone, Wright, Romney, Mills, Eldridge, et al, are working together in all time form, and despite the strong bid of the McKeon Association team of New Jersey for titular honors, this correspondent looks for the "Champs" to retain the laurels they earned nearly four years ago. On this coming Saturday night the Henry Street Settlement team that vanquished the locals earlier in the season, will be the guest of the management—and the fur will fly in all directions.

Week EDNA BARNES, of Cedar Manor, L. I., who has made several threats to lead her rivals in the "Queen of the Classic" popularity contest which is now in its fifth week, accomplished her long sought-for object by topping all candidates with 200,000 votes when the Sunday returns were completed.. Miss Barnes, a graduate of Textile High School, has taken up art and designing in her spare time to put the finishing touch on her talents. From the beginning of the contest she kept close to the leaders. At one time she was tied and on two other occasions she was in second place. Last week she was fourtn. Having climbed to the top her friends will watch with interest her staying qualities. ```markdown ``` MARIE GRIFFITH, whose modest demeanor and exceptional personality has won for her the support of a host of friends in the "Queen of the Classic" contest. She is a senior student at Wadleigh High School, which institution has already crowned a "Queen of the Classic." Will history repeat? Misses Gloria McCutcheon, Nathalie for the first place crown, not to menMacklin, Mae Swalls and Servena Saun-tion the two hundred little United ders, all rivals and persistent leaders States dollars in gold and the privilege CONTESTANTS' STANDING A of being referred to as "The Queen of the Classic," are exercising energy, enterprise and initiative in their efforts to dethrone Miss Barnes, before the contest ends. Two of the young ladies have already held the spotlight for a brief period and two others have remained in a contending position from the start. Alma Weaver, Katherine Noisette, Marie Griffith, Ruth Church and Esme Birbeck are the next five candidates from whom anything is liable to happen. All of them have shown encouraging indications of exceptional merit in the contest thus far. Any one of them may surprise rival candidates by jumping into the lead to win the title. All of them have loyal friends who will go to extremes to make them a winner. The next five starts with Miss Christine Murphy, who entered the contest last week, but is even now contemplating a jump into the lead. She is in the same group with Jessie Crawford, vaudeville star. W. Albirdie Martin, of Cincinnati, Ohio, Sdith Smith of The Lafayette and Rosalind Jackson of The Nest Club. All of these are potential vote-getting volcanos from whom may spout any number of votes during the next three weeks of the contest. Miss Murphy, who is 'on her own' without support from any club says she intends to see it through to the end. Interest in the contest continues thrilling. Courageous candidates with pep and personality are still entering from everywhere, all of them with determination, will power and convidence, the proportion of which will be measured only when the bell rings the curtain down on the 1929 "Queen of the Classic" November 24. From Philadelphia Mr. Edmund Parris, a young and progressive business man of the Quaker City is going to make a great effort to win one of the major prizes for the City of Brotherly Love. He has entered the following six candidates: Alma Stratton, Gertrude Short, Doris Daniels, Ella Baker, Olivia Taylor and Alice Anderson. These girls are well known and popular in their home city. They are expected to win the support of Philadelphia's business and professional interests—all of whom should be "Tattler subscribers." Locally we are pleased to announce the addition of Misses Aileane Louise Stith, Mary Guestas and Lucille Coffey. These young ladies deserve a world of credit for participating in a contest such as this year's "Queen of the Classic," which has as competitors some of the most brilliant minds and capable personalities extant. The second period of the contest ends this Saturday night. Votes may be reported as usual on Sunday, between 2 and G P. M.-not later, please. All candidates whose photos are not in the office by November 9 will please do not blame the Contest Editor if same should not appear. Clubs intending to support candidates must get in touch with the Contest Editor immediately. NEWARK, N. J., NEWS. BY HARRY W. BURROUGHS.

If on the Road we'd try to make a friend Of every lonely heart we chance to meet, The Road would hide a treasure 'round each bend And we would tread the way with eager feet." A bunch of sunbeams just begin to dance all around your heart when you receive a letter like this: "Dear Miss Jackie— This day has a meaning new Since I've known a friend like you. To write a letter to you today Gives me more joy than I can say. "I am writing to thank you for finding me a nice boy friend and to let you know how happy I am. He is nice looking and so different from the majority that I have met. I may have been pushed, or maybe I slipped, but I have fallen for him just the same. "May God watch over and bless you, Jackie." \* \* \* The young man who answers need not exclaim, as did the Prince of Morocco, "Mlslike me not for my complexion!" "I am 19 years of age, weigh about 136 lbs., five ft. 4 in. tall, dark brown-skin. Would like to meet a nice man about five ft. 8, weight 160, no older than 25, nor younger than 21. He must be dark." ```markdown ``` In order that you may understand the communication intended for the Tattler, I shall first give you excerpts of one sent to me. "Now I have you to explain that I am not a colored man at all. Am a German born, but have lived in Brazil and now two years in this country. Have very good position and soon I will have my own home. But you will ask me why I want a colored lady? Really I can't say you that. Nobody can explain the love of male and female being. Strolling along the streets or sitting in the subway, the highest temptations I have for the ladies of golden hue. This is the call of Nature. "Have you read in the newspaper the story of the wedding of a German lady with a colored athlete? Just the same thought is with me. And therefore, I must have a lady of golden hue for my own." Here's the one for the Tattler: "A white man asks for the hand of a nice looking lady of color, who keeps ARE YOU LONELY? Then Join the WASHINGTON SOCIAL CLUB!

"Would like to meet a young lady who would appreciate a nice man, and one that lives a clean life, and would make life worthwhile. Like a woman, 28-30, weight 110-140 lbs., light brown, that goes to church." Main Street makes request. "I am a captain in a Dining Dept. of a local hotel here and am somewhat lonesome. Am tall, light brownskin, weigh 184 lbs., age 36, and am willing to do the right part by a good girl that don't mind living in a small New York town. "Would like to meet a lady of sincerity as I consider that one of the best qualities that makes for success."

"I am a widow 29 years old, brown-skin, agreeable, fond of the higher things of life.
