Readers of The Age Write On Distinctive Qualities of the Negro of Today Opinions Advanced Showing that Present Conditions Have Developed Understanding and Determination. An editorial in The New York Age of January 24 asked a question as to the "New Negro—What Is He?" and suggested that readers of the Age might give on paper a fair sample of the qualities that go to make up the New Negro. The question evidently struck a responsive chord for there have come to the editor a number of letters discussing the matter and offering opinions on qualifications of the New Negro. These letters are interesting, not only because of the various points of view given, but also because of the manner in which the subject is treated.

They marched back to Belfort, the great French torture-city, where they were given an ovation by the French inhabitants of that city, and they were the only foreign regiment ever inside this fortress. From Belfort the regiment was carried to Le Mans by rail and there rejoined the American Army and sailed from Brest early in February, 1919, for America.

Regimental Adjutant Ferguson, TOWNS PUT HEAVY TAX ON HAIR DRESSERS ACUSTA, Ga.—In many of the small rural towns it is reported that the ruling authorities are putting a heavy tax on hair dressing establishments. It is thought to be the purpose of the town officials to make the tax prohibitive and thus put an end to the efforts of women of the race to make a living in, other than purely domestic lines. Increasing scarcity of domestic servants, including cooks and waiters, women, is said to be behind the action of the small town lawmakers, who hope in this way to justify the disregulated business members of their own membership. Below are reproduced several of the letters received. --- WHAT IS "THE NEW NEGRO" To the Emperor or the New York Army, You ask in a recent editorial for comment the "New Negro." The "New Negro" or "New Consciousness" is but a reintroduction of the old Negro, and will not be the first to Douglas and women like Sojourner Truth. Whether you know it or not, your paper contributes largely to the evolution of a "New Negro" editorial and your treatment of news. All through the South, on the border of which I live, there is a steadily growing feeling missing lodgement in the minds of the masses of Negroes that something rotten in that the steady decline and fall of the Negro from the high point during construction days following 1855 has been largely due to blind or selfish ignorant or criminal leadership somewhere. This does not imply that the leaders in the field of industrial training were in fault for the work of making the Negro an efficient economist. The spirit of the New Negro is bound to be great unrest. It will never begin to be quelled or silenced by the actions of a few little point plums handed its prominent men not will pleas equal or better, or compassions strisly its lounges. It opposes these self-delegated spokesman who in crumbling, favor seeking mood, propagate a theory of self-acknowledged social terrorism for the gratification of the enemy. This "New Negro" is fast learning that the doyle like, lack耐心, devotion to master spirit, is a virtue of treeman and is not locality, and has gained nothing for the Negro mass but further oppression and all treatment forcing him down to suffer servitude. Nico, the Negro labrador in the past has been told that when he owns as much property as his white brother, or pays taxes upon as much land, then and not until then will he possess the rights.

Due to what seems to be negligence on the part of the management, the place has run down this season as never has before. During an affair one rainy evening some of the dancers were drenched owing to a leaky roof; and the place to my recollection has not been properly heated this winter. An Ack reporter tried to get in touch with Manager Waldron to substantiate this report, but could not locate him. It is suggested that the organizations in this locality who have need for such a place should hand themselves together and erect a place of their own. They could then offer to service the they pay for. They could bring rooms in the same building and could make the pay for herself after a NEW YORK, N.

"Hell Fighting Fifteenth" Immortalized in Painting Woolf, Great Artist, Puts Negro Regiment in Oils-- Picture To Be Shown At The Age Office S. J. Vargott, one of the leading portrait painters of America, and one of the few American artists to brave the danger of the aggression to get first-hand ideas of the great war, has painted a large picture in oil which he calls "First to the Rhine". It depicts Colonel William Hayward and his Hell Fighting 15th New York Infantry looking through Alsace as the advance guard of the 161st French Division, with which this regiment fought as a part of the French Army. It is now a matter of history that Colonel Hayward's unit was the first of all the Allies to reach the Rhine. 15th Reaches the Rhine. William Pickens, who recently resigned as vice-president and dean of Morgan College, Baltimore, Md., has been appointed to the position of associate field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. of New York and will devote all of his time to the organization. His specific duties, according to announcement from the association, will be the organizing of the Negroes throughout the country. Since graduating from Yale in 1904, Mr. Pickens has been engaged in teaching, having been connected with Talladega College, Alabama; Wiley University, Texas; and Morgan College Maryland, as the rat-college to be elected as vice-president of the latter institution, being also the first race teacher to hold the position of dean. Mr. Pickens was born in Anderson county, N. C., in 1851, but his parents moved to Arkansas in 1858. He entered the schools of North Little Rock in 1891. He was valedictorian of his class in the Union High School of Little Rock and at Adaidega College he won a number of literary and oratorical prizes. He entered Yale in 1902 and in a class of 300 he won the Henry James Ten Eight oratorical prize. He was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa, a much sought for honor, and graduated with the highest rank in his class, delivering the Philosophical Oration. In addition to teaching he has been actively engaged in race activities. He was a member of the Niagara Movement and of the colored section of the Maryland Council of Defense With Major J. E. Spagnia he was instrumental in the establishment of the colored officers training camps and in the movement at Loganville, Ky., which resulted in the decision of the United States Supreme Court against segregation in American cities. COLORS WERE UNJUSTLY TREATED BAY WORK, MN—The revised salary scale just submitted to the State Legislature by Governor Ritchie is greatly unfair to colored teachers in the country school. It was drastically by the State Board of Education, with aid of State Superintendent Stephens. While teachers are given fair increases, but the colored are worstly flogged.

It depicts Colonel Fighting 15th New York Infantry, advance guard of the 101st French infantry as a part of the French story that Colonel Hayward's unit touch the Rhine. and Lieutenant Tessier, one of the French Vides, are shown in the foreground. A number of the veterans of the old 15th posed in full marching order for the artist and are easily recognizable. On Exhibition at Age Office The picture will be exhibited in the window of Arthur H. Hahlo, art dealer, on Fifth avenue, between 40th and 47th street, for a short time, after which it will be on exhibition at the office of Tir. New York Acr. Tir. Acr is having a reproduction of the picture made by the latest four color process, size 8 x 12, and as soon as completed these reproductions will be available to the readers of Tir. Acr, and will be of particular interest to the boys themselves and to their families. Competent art critics have pronounced Mr. Woolf's work one of the master pieces of the war, and a production possible only by an artist who gained first hand knowledge of the combat, the mud, and the general drabness that prevailed on the Western Battle Front. BUSINESS PROPOSITION In 5 private houses on upper 7th Avenue. Full participation M. L. HARRIS MRS. A. W. HUNTON A PREJUDICE VICTIM Subjected to Humiliating Experience at Sanatorium Built up by Negro. Patronage Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, widow of the late W. A. Hunton, swept off her feet during the epidemic of illness that has gripped the country, during the last few weeks, had her physician, Dr. Richard Nutt of Brooklyn, arrange for a room either in a hospital or sanitorium where she could have complete rest and the skilled attention that could be brought to her by a trained nurse, as well as the continued attention of her physician, Dr. Stitt, after much effort, finally secured such a place at the Muldering Sanatorium, 2360 Seventh avenue, New York City. This was known to be a place where colored patients, as well as their colored physicians, had always been made welcome; but when Mrs. Houston finally appeared at the door last Saturday evening, after a long taxi ride through the hitting zero weather, Miss Muldering, the owner of the place, threw up her head in dismay, and said in most excited terms to Miss Kathryn M. Johnson of NZ Grand avenue, Brooklyn, who had preceded the sick woman into the building. "I didn't know she was a colored woman, the doctor didn't know she was a colored woman." But the lady knew the weakened condition of the said nothing to Mrs. Houston until she had finally climbed the three flights of stairs, without assistance or a word of sympathy from the several nurses who stood around as if they were paralyzed and possessed of a spirit as frighted as the weather from which they had just emerged. Woman Owner Objecta. After helping Mrs. Hunton to lie down, the friend, had a conference with Mrs. Mulderig, who disdained she couldn't permit a colored woman to stay in that room; that to do so would cause all of her white patients to leave; that she was running two houses, one for white, the other for colored; that the house for colored patients was full, but she would move Mrs. Hunton down to the first floor, into a room where she had another colored patient. But Mrs. Hunton had not arranged for such accommodations, and unnecessarily had her friend arrange for a comfortable room at Hotel Rose, this way done, and after her reference with Mrs. Mulderig, during which a number of indignities with the wife passed, another takeah was called and the sick woman removed. Physicians who know Mrs. Mulderig, that she has begun to draw the color line only since she has become color dependent off colored parentage. Mrs. Hunton Improving. Mrs. Hinton is doing well at the hotel, and will no doubt be seen among her friends again soon. Since her return from France, where the spent nearly fifteen months in Y. M. C. N. work, she has been unable to find a suitable location for herself and two children, owing to the scarcity of apartments. "That a woman who little more than a year ago was admistering with her own patient and sympathetic hands to the wants of numbers of white soldiers who were lying sick with the flu on smaller floor of her hot library, whither they had come for refuge, should be mounted and practically driven from a sanitorium in the great colored section of New York City, is a reflection upon the Christian Democracy, for whose principles multiplied thousands have so recently given up their lives," was the comment of Miss Johnson in speaking of the matter. JACK JOHNSON MAY RETURN (Special to The New York Age) Chicago, Ill. — Jack Johnson, the pupilist, is willing to return from Mexico and serve his sentence in Leavenworth prison, if the United States District Attorney is willing to enter into negotiations to that effect. HACKENSACK PASTOR (Special to THE NEW YORK ACK) Huckenack, N. J.-The Rev. J. P. E. Love, pastor of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church of James Street, has been awarded a judgment of $25 against Rhoda Bailey, whom he sued for damages in connection with alleged sludderous remarks made by the latter. The trial was held in the Third District Court last Friday afternoon and was attended by a large number of the members of the Mt. Olive Baptist church. Judge Frederick W. Mattacks reserved decision at that time. * Lawyer Altschuler, who appeared as counsel for Rev. Love, declared himself as well satisfied with the decision and said all they had asked for was nominal damages and vindication of the charges made by Mrs. Bailey. The charges and trial stirred up considerable comment among the church members and Rev. Love is now hopeful that the summer has been closed for all time as a result of the charges in his lawsuit.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Urging federal aid for the public schools on the South, Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, offered a most interesting report to the trustees. The report, which covers every important activity during the school term, includes a highly interesting and informing side light on economic conditions in the South as well as the inter-racial situation. Ma.—Urging federal aid for the public schools R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, report to the trustees. The report, which activity during the school term, includes a informing side light on economic conditions the inter-racial situation. The report opens with a resume of Tuskegee's war work. By special contract with the government 1,229 men were trained as auto-mechanics, chauffeurs, blacksmiths, leather workers, electricians, metal workers, for service in the army, and it is shown that these Tuskegee trained workers gave most efficient service in the camps and overseas. The Saturday League. One of the most interesting features of Tuskegee's war work was the organization at Tuskegee Institute, March, 1918, of the Saturday Service League. The purpose was to encourage Negro farmers in the South to work six full days in the week and to abandon, as a war measure, the practice of their self or whole holiday on Saturday. No Tuskegee movement received so much praise from the press and the public of the country, as did this unique organization. The Birmingham News, one of the leading Alabama papers, and concerning the League: A first demonstration in the splenic organization at Tuskegee is shown in a record of the aetiology during the influenza epidemic. There appear according to the records during the epidemic 442 cases of influenza treated in the hospital thirty-seven of which developed into pneumonia, but there was not single death. As Dr. Motson said in his report, "I don't know of any other community which made such a rare record." The report also says. Surely there must be efficiency in an organization. The more per cent of operations that are efficient The Saturday League. "It would be difficult to estimate the enormous productive power of thousands of the old hands, class a week where they worked five days before, and now that neighboring states have adopted the Alabama plan, it is organized, curiously, in the state whose motto is, Here We Southern Negroes may presently be concluding faculty, per cent more toward production for the success of democracy." Splendid Health Record "During the last five years there have been 0.822 cases treated in the Hospital with a total of twenty eight deaths, and of this number 520 have received surgical operations with only eight deaths." Rural Schools When this report was made in May 1919, there had been completed or in the course of creation 7,210 modern schools for Negroes which are made possible through the generosity of Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist and trustee of Tuskegee Institute $113,300 has gone into these improved school buildings. Of the total amount the states and countries have appropriated $337,192; white people in the communities have contributed $88,445; the colored people $430,381, and Mr. Rosenwald $227,005. "Remarkable as these figures are," says Dr. Moton, "Mr. Rosenwald's benefactions cannot be measured merely in dollars and cents. It represents increased sympathy in education on the part of white and colored people, and links these schools in a vital way to the community, county and state." There are many inter-ang facts presented in this report. Dr. Moton declares that the Institute is making rapid strides toward greater usefulness and greater internal efficiency. An example of this is shown in the section devoted to the Agricultural Department. Without increasing the number of cows in the dairy herd, it is shown that during the past year there has been an increase of 315 per cent in the yield of milk. This, Dr. Moton says, is due to the care and feeding of the dairy herd together with the efficient handling made possible by the new and modern dairy barn which was completed about a year ago. Tuskegee's Influence. The various activities in trades and industries and in the Academic Department are presented in a most interesting fashion, and in addition to the facts regarding the school. Dr. Moton gives a detailed account of his trip to France where he went to the suggestion of President Wilson and Secretary Baker to look into the conditions affecting the Negro overcrowd troops. Dr. Moton also WHEN YOU SEE IT IN The Age YOU CAN DEPEND UPON IT News That Is Informing PRICE FIVE CENTS It is impossible to estimate the value of Tuskegee's work. Its Conference and meetings of the hundreds of people who visit the Institute throughout the year as well as the 1,700 students and 600 summer school teachers shows continuing confidence and means an ever-widening circle of influence for the Institute founded by Booker Washington. Dr. Moton himself is coming to be recognized as a dominant figure in the South in bringing about better relations between the races as well as simulating race relations in his race. What the Institute has done, past judgment from these reports, is merely an estimate of what may be hoped for in the future. As Dr. Moton said in the concluding paragraph of his report: "The Institute must in the future, as in the past, continue to be of the largest possible usefulness in all matters affecting the life of the Negro Race."

METHODISTS TO OPEN SCHOOLS IN AFRICA (Special to The New York Arg.) Boston, Mass—Industrial training schools, modeled after the Tuskegee Institute idea, will be opened at three points in Africa by the Methodist Episcopal Church, according to a statement by the Rev. J. I. Bartholomew, centenary secretary, at an estimated cost of $255,000. The schools are to be located at Inhambane, Portuguese East Africa; Old Umtata, Rhodesia; and Angola, West Coast. The courses of study will lay special stress upon agriculture. The money is being appropriated by the centenary Conservation committee out of the $13,000,000 offering raised last summer.

The workman is beginning to see that his constant labor is necessary to the wealth of his employer, and he英ends to make his labor mean more for himself. He accepts the principle of no segregation, plus the leaders who regard the establishment and who advise Negroes to be satisfied with equal accommodations. Only twelve Republicans thought the Jim-Crew car a menace to the race, and yet the party claims our loyalty. Some people are suggesting that we help celebrate the day on which Crispus Attucks fell and yet fifteen millions of his race pay about one-fifth of the taxation through their labor, and have no representation in national government. Finally, Mr. Editor, just live for a short while among the Negroes who do not suffer the benigning influences of the leadership they are fast discarding, and you will discern the spirit of a new type of Negro who bids fair to take a manly part in this government in a short while. E. B. HENDERSON. R. D. 13, Falls Church, Va. THE NEW NEGRO IN POLITICS The Editor of the Ass: For many obvious reasons, the gathering to be held at Chicago on June 8 will prove to be the most important Convention held by the Republican Party since the days of ri Reconstruction. It will be a reconstruction Convention essentially, inasmuch as it will afford a sort of referendum for the determination of our future foreign policy, secondly, it will evolve some new and constructive middle ground for adjusting the differences between capital and labor, and finally, it will foreshadow the new political era which is to mark the gradual disintegration of both the great parties as political units. It is for these very reasons also, that this epocal event may hold for the colored citizens of America a significance beyond the hope of our fondest dreams. But so much has been said and written of the conduct or misconduct of the colored men who have been privileged to share in the deliberations of National Republican Conventions in the past that a timely word of warning from the Negro press of the country, to both the state and the national party powers, may help to guide us safely over the pathway along which we must treasured. A New Opportunity Colored men should be admonished that the economic and political reaction consequent upon the world war offers a new opportunity for not only oppressing the alumnium imprinted on meliorcity, puritydolity, and absence of political conviction but for the acquirement and retention by a unknowingly use of the franchise of those rights and privileges which it alone can offer. Moreover the just commission of war crimes and readjust the point of view of those who make a practice of politics for revenue only. The party powers on the other hand should be admonished that the intelligent growth and self-request of our population the country can be recording simultaneously a type of leader trip and a measure of recognition which comes out of the great political parties of today have been well willing to approve.

Judge Bond of the Wayne County Superior Court expressed this opinion in scoring the jury which returned a verdict of not guilty in the case of three young white men charged with criminal assault upon a 15-year-old white girl. Judge Bond, during his charge to the jury, had instructed them that the three men could be found guilty of criminal assault or simple assault or could be found not guilty on either charge. But when the verdict of not guilty of the sheriff under three separate was handed in by the jury, Judge Bond charges, i.e., two charges for violating informed that body that he was surely the prostitution act and one for violation of the juvenile act. He required a disappointed at their action.

Judge Bond immediately ordered the three defendants played in the custody the advent of new citizenship has come the so-called "New Negro" in politics with a more amateurizing interpretation of political and civic justice. He will not be cajed or excited by platform platitudes and rhetorical fervor. He seeks both good government and proportionate participation therom. In the appointment of Mr. James Weldon Johnson to the new platform advisers of the National republican Committee, Chairman Hays evinces a hopeful appreciation of the new conditions. And it is carnely to be hoped that through the constancy of the Negro press and the better known men with whom Mr Johnson is to be associated, the National Party Powers will not lack in their effort to stimulate and meet the new demands for political and civic righteousness.

If my memoir serves me right, I think the Republican balance a few years ago so gerrymandered the Congressional districts in Harlem as to divide the Negro vote in order that there would not be a majority of Negro voters in the South. I predict that when any Congressional district in the North is likely to have a Negro majority the legislature will be afraid that it gets manhandled. Early Congressional district in the North is entitled to two delegates to the National Republican Convention. Two of the Congressional districts in Harlem would have at least one delegate each. The top up an alternate of large or an additional district on nothing but the north. The New York ward the substitute for the low. There may have been others but I cannot tell. United Negro who was elected as a delegate to a National Republican convention from the North and that was Mawson of Michigan some years ago. If we can find a Negro of Congressional district and character we certainly ought to be able to find two Negroes of Calhoun and Salem to represent the Harlem district. It is said that the Negro population of Harlem is near 100,000. Not to be able to produce two Negroes of Calhoun to represent such a large population in a district on our intelligence and the devoted advancement. The average delegate to a National Convention is a momentary, a few leads to transport to the business. The 1912 convention of the Convention of 1912 and 1915 was the Commission of I have always been interested in your career in the same line. Now New York What I Do. You referred to Langston and Dr. Cromwell, R.B. H. H. the most brilliant figure of the Reconstruction period of the great war all around man of ability, the race he graduated, graduated from College, England, and artwardly justified law. Mr. Cardona who was Secretary of State, then State Treasurer, and afterwards Principal of the High School, Washington, D.C. graduated from thesgroup (Southeast) University. The absolutely Strake, a West Indian, was also a college graduate and there were other, among them being Ogreer, now being in Chicago, a graduate of Harvard. I believe the first Negro from that test of learning. I challenge any person to name six college graduate of the present day to compare favorably with the six noted above. The men I have named were real leaders, men with a following, representative men. They did not think because they were college men that they should hold themselves aloft from their fellow man. I think the college graduate of the present day is troubled with an inflated ego, or he does not possess those qualities that go to make for leadership. If he has those qualities he shows lack of there is only one way to carry his value, and few even knew where he stopped. In fact the politicians were not in the least interested in him. But what a change came over the politicians after he entered the political game. Everywhere the went he was acclaimed a great political leader. Those who were so intense in their bitterness toward him when they found out that there was no political advancement for them without his endowment, became his most sycophantic followers. Where is the man to compare with that greatest of all Negroes, Frederick Douglass? Along three years ago Mr. Work of Tinkerfall. Mitigate requested me to follow up on the work from the time to the The New Negro bound it impossible to render a verdict should stop prosecuting Negroes for stop lynching Negroes for alleged County Superior Court expressed which returned a verdict of not guilty men charged with criminal assault judge Bond, during his charge to the three men could be found guilty or could be found not guilty on city of the sheriff under three separate charges, i.e., two charges for violating the prostitution act and one for violating the juvenile act. He required a bond of $1,000 in each case and informed the solicitor that he had the power to impose the cases to another county. The three men, Jasper Farmer, Sylvester Mathis and George Hopewell, are prominent citizens of Wayne county and they were charged with having outraged Martha Outlaw, a 15-year old girl, the alleged crime having been committed after the men had gotten rid of the girl's escort by a trick. In her testimony the girl declared that the brutes had assaulted her twelve times! "When I compare the present political leaders in South Carolina with those of the reconstruction period I must confess that we have retrograded politically. Not only in South Carolina, but where would you find in any State at the present time political leaders who can measure up to the calibre of Elliott, Raney, Cardora, Straker, Swain, Delarge, Boeomon, Wright, Ranser, Lee, McKinlay, Cain, Whipper and Wilder!" "When the race can again produce political leaders of the type named then we may look forward with a solution for a solution of the Negro problem. First Negro Congressman. I think you are in error in your inference that Jefferson Long was the first Negro member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Georgia was not represented in Congress after the war until the 42nd Congress, Mr. Rainey was seated in the 41st Congress, 3rd Session, to fill the vacancy caused by the non-reception of B.E. Whittmore, and served longer than any other Negro. The Congressional Directors will hear me out in this convention. Mr. Rainey was the only Negro Congressman who presided over the House of Representatives. Mr. Blame, then Speaker, extended him that courtesy. Mr. Rainey had another honor bestowed upon him, that of being the nominee of the Republican caucus for clerk of the House of Representatives. I will add that the House was democratic. It was an empty honor, but it showed the high regard in which he was held by his colleagues. There is as much difference between the Negro leaders of the reconstruction period and the present day Negro leaders as there is between the white Republican leaders of the reconstruction period and the white Republican leaders of the present day. In those days, there was no Frank Hittieck with a lot of Southern delegates rounded up to be delivered to the candidate with whom he could best doker. No cause can be advanced by the suppression of truth. Col. Roosevelt wrecked the Republican Party in 1912 for a principle and at the time of his death he was the acknowledged leader of that party. Now Negro can dominate the democratic party. The democratic party caring not for the Negro and the Negro are not for the democratic party. It requires courage for a Negro since 1810. The politicians are too cowardly to do it. "The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's verb." We can rely only upon such newspapers the Tit. New York Act to press our health. H. A.

Shipes ordered soaked chicken and when the cook tailed to include the gizzard with the portion grened, the customer became angry and shot the Negro to death. SALARY SCHEDULE BALMORE, Md.-The discriminatory salary schedule proposed by the State Board of Education and submitted to the Legislature by Governor Ridley in his biennial budget has aroused criticism from colored people in all parts of the State. The schedule, as proposed, only allows colored county teachers a maximum less than the minimum paid. The salaries of teachers for Baltimore City is the same. The application of the discriminatory schedule of general interest throughout the State. A local daily got busy and published an interview from Assistant State Superintendent of Schools Keavis, in which he says the salary schedule is based on the comparative efficiency of white as against colored teachers. The Baltimore A. M. F. ministers meeting passed a resolution Monday strongly condemning the discriminatory schedule A delegation which conferred with Governor Ritchie about the matter last Saturday was told, it is said, that polling could be done to retard the situation until the next Legislature meet. Another delegation went to Annapolis Thursday, February 4, to see him about the matter. The discrimination will be -harmful. In the case of a person THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7. JEANES FUND BOARD IN ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of the Negro Rural School Fund, Anna T. Jeanes Foundation, was held at the rooms of the General Education Board, 01 Broadway, New York City, January 26. The meeting of the executive Committee preceded the meeting of the board. The members of the executive committee are Dr. Robert R. Motbin of the Tuleguee Institute, chairman; Dr. Samuel C. Mitchell, president Delaware College, Newark, Del.; J. C. Napier, Nashville, Tenn.; R. L. Smith, president Farmers Improvement Society, Waco, Texas; Dr. Wm. P. Few, president Trinity College, Durham, N. C.; Emmett J. Scott, secretary Howard University, Washington, D. C.; Dr. James E. Gregg, principal Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va. The other members of the board of trustees are Chancellor David C. Barrow of the University of Georgia; Bishop Theodore D. Bratton, of the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi; Bishop George W. Clinton of the A. M. E. Z. Church; Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the James Board; George Poster Peabody, New York; ex-President William H. Talt, and Dr. Talcott Williams, director of the School of Journalism, New York City; By formal action of the Board, resolutions were adopted expressing sympathy with the families of two former members of the Board, H. T. Kealing and Walter Hines Page, late Ambassador to England, who died some months ago. A committee was also appointed to draft suitable resolutions with respect to the death of the late Andrew Carnegie. Two new members of the board were elected at the meeting held this week; Charles E. Mason, a well-known man of Boston, and Clarence E. Bacon, of Spencer, Trask & Co., bankers, New York City. The report of Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the board indicated that representatives of the Jeanes Fund are at work in 203 counties of the following thirteen states of the South—Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. The Jeanes Fund Board paid out, as its treasurer's report showed, for the work in the South $47,350, and under its program procured appropriations from public funds distributing the Jeanes Fund appropriations to the amount of $44,611.10, a total for the year of $92,021.10. There was much enthusiasm over the work of the Jeanes Fund Board, and especially over the splendid results being achieved in the rural districts of the South through the Jeanes Fund workers. Conferences have been held from time to time at various centers of the South, notably at Tuskegee, Hampton and Shaw University. Others will be held at Columbus, Ga., and later probably at Fisk and Howard Universities. Dr. Motion, principal of Tuskegee Institute, presided as chairman at the meeting of the executive committee, and apaper at the meeting of the regular board. DR. PROCTOR PLANS HIS BROOKLYN WORK * The Rev. H. H. Proctor, who built up the largest Congregational church in the world among the congregated people at Atlanta, Ga., bequeathed with the Nazarene Congregational Church of Brooklyn January 1. With his coming the church took on new life, and since that time eight members have united with the church. At the annual meeting last week the church assumed a budget of $10,000 for the coming year. A staff of workers has been chosen, including William Spreads as assistant pastor, Mary Muriel Proctor, secretary. The Rev. DR. H. H. PROCTOR Pastor Nazarene Congregational Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. Miss Jane Cunningham, social worker, and A. B. Bard, caretaker. After a study of the Brooklyn situation, Dr. Proctor, backed by the Congregational fraternity of Greater New York, proposes to build an institution to be known as the Naratene Temple, to be a center for the life of his people in a business, social and religious way. The following is the plan as outlined on the weekly calendar of the church: We plan to build a temple that will be a business, social and religious center for the colored people of Greater New York. "The entire basement floor is to be devoted to social features, recreational and industrial, and open all the time." The ground floor to be devoted to business activities—a bank a drug store, a grocery store, a dry goods store, a ten cent store, a printing office, a restaurant, a laundry, etc.; all to be first class. The next floor to contain the auditoriums and administration offices. "The next to be a hospital where colored physicians may operate. "The next floor a dormitory for young women, where 100 can be accommodated at cost. "The next floor a dormitory for young men on the same plan. "Above all the roof garden, where in the summer season recreational and religious services may be conducted. "Here we would focus the life of the race, making a center for welfare organizations, a nest of business enterprises, a shelter for fraternal societies, a home for young men and women, and a place for healing. At the heart and center of all the proclamation of the glorious gospel of the blessed God. "All for the glory of God and the good of man. "In the realization of this vision the sympathy, the prayer, and the practical co-operation of all is desired." The completed building is to cost $250,000. Already $18,000 have been subscribed. Large and interested audiences from all parts of Greater New York are hearing Dr. Pectori every Sunday, and at each service Prof. Sprights delivers a message in song. Y.W.C.A. Is Working for Welfare Bills Up At Albany Eight-Hour and Minimum Wage Bills To Be Urged Before New York Legislature By Women Workers The Northeastern Field Committee of the Young Women's Christian Association is vigorously supporting the welfare bills being presented to the Legislature at Albany, and the question comes up frequently in the discussion of these bills. The answer is to be found in the resolutions passed by industrial girls who attended the summer councils of the Association at Camp Altamont, N.Y.

Bowles and others who give no little time and attention to questions affecting women, say it is impossible for the Young Women's Christian Association to initiate a program of recreation and education for girls who work unusually long hours or who get very poor wages. In the first place, girls who work more than eight hours a day are physically too worn out to go to the Y. W. C. A. Center. If they do they are too exhausted to take part in any games or recreation which would make them more efficient in their work. Resolutions Adopted. One of these resolutions, perhaps the most important of them, follows "Resolved, that inasmuch as the individual industrial girls, even at her worst, is of the utmost importance, we should have an eight-hour day, eventually a forty-four hour week, a minimum wage law according to the locality equal pay for equal work." A second resolution was to the effect that "Working girls should accept and apply the principle of collective bargaining in order to obtain a living wage and better working conditions." The bills which are to be presented by the Women's Joint Legislative Conference during the legislative session are the Eight-Hour Day and the Minimum Wage Bill. The Health Insurance bill will be presented by the State Federation of Labor and will have the backing of the W. J. L. C. Want an Eight Hour Day. The Eight-Hour Day bill is identical in its provisions and operation to the present time-hour day or fifty-four-hour week law now in effect, save that it eliminates the clause permitting night work before Christmas. It provides an eight-hour day for women working in factories and in mercantile establishments and for minors. The Minimum Wage bill will extend to women in all industries. This bill provides for the appointment by the Governor of a Minimum Wage Commission with power to appoint wage boards to investigate conditions in each industry upon which a woman can live in height and efficiency in that locality and in that industry. The minimum wage rate will therefore vary with the district and with the industry. It can be changed to reject conditions. This bill is modeled after the one which was passed by Congress during 1919 and is now in effect in the District of Columbia. INTERRACIAL BODY TO HOLD 1ST SESSION BATTERY, Md.—The first public session of the International Conference of Baltimore will be held at the Friends Meeting House on February 12, 18 and 19.

MYSTIC SHRINERS SEEK INJUNCTION BALTIMORE, Mr.-Injunction proceedings were instituted in the Court Tuesday afternoon restraining Joseph P. Evans, grand master of Masons in Maryland; George T. Duppins, the grand secretary, and the grand lodge from excluding from membership John H. Murphy, Jr., Oscar Mason, Emanuel Smith and David T. Harrod, who are also members of Jerusalem Temple of the Mystic Shrine and the Imperial Council. The bill of complaint, which was filed by Attorney Warner T. Mettinni, recites that the plaintiffs have complied with all laws and regulations of the Masonic fraternity and asserts that the Mystic Shrine is separate and distinct from the Grand Lodge and that the latter has no jurisdiction over it. The plaintiffs were suspended last October for refusing to be reprimanded after meeting as Shriners, following an ether from the grand master forbidding such. Murphy is an officer in the Imperial Council of the Ancient Egyptian Vakib Order of Nobles of Mystic Shrine. ANTI-LYNCHING BILLS NOW BEFORE CONGRESS Washington, D. C. The Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives is considering three bills which would make lynching a federal offense. Captain Arthur B. Spungarm and James Weldon Johnson, representing the N. A. A. C. P. of New York, and William Monroe bill of Boston, argued for the bill at hearing in Washington on January 29. Colored Americans throughout the United States are urged to write to Andrew L. Volstead, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee in Washington, D. C., endorsing the proposed legislation.

PICKENS TO LEAVE MORGAN COLLEGE BALTIMORE, Mt.-Dr. William Pickens has handed in his resignation as vice president and dean of Morgan College. He came to the institution as drawn in 1915. The reasons that prompted his resignation have not been disputed. Just a few weeks ago he had a controversy with Roland Marchant, a solicitor, about a letter Pickens wrote regarding treatment received when went to the Southern Hotel on business. The city solicitor is chairman of the board of managers of the hotel and subjected to a statement made by the Pickens in a letter of complaint, in which he said that in a State where courts are just damages could be sought for such insult. Dr. Pickens is widely known as a lecturer and may connect himself with one of the uplift agencies working for the race. P. S. 119 GRADUATES P. S. 119 GRADUATES. P. S. 110, the James Russell I.

The new bill will he a compromise between th Graham and Davey measures. This new bill wilbepvidently be shorter and not su drastic as the former one; it is also likely that the language will not be so inclusive: this will, of course, make it a FAarder measure ty oppose successfully, "+ i We are not in favor of any kind of sedition legislation, because we consider it both unnecessary and dangerous.

For so many years the pound has been the standard of value for the world that it is difficult to think of it in the terms in which se have been accnstomed to think of South American currency. And the mention of South American money reminds me: I was once in Colombia, stopping just for a day or two at the port of Branquilla, When I got off the boat I called a porter and asked him how much hewould charge to take my luggage up f0 the hotel. Ne looked it over and answered, “Tres cientos pesos.” (Three hundred dollars.) I did not know just what rate the Colombian exchange was, but when we got to the hotel I risked giving him an <American dollar, and he gave me in Colombian money seven hundred dollars in change. so Tteld this incident once to a man, who was a writer on “Collier's Magazine,” while he was enjoying the hospitality of my house in Nicaragua; he used it in a story which he afterwards wrote for “Collier's,” and never gave me the least credit for it. 1 have not yet forgiven him. I have told many friends the incident, and they have laughed at it as a witty piece of exaggeration. Mut to-day such an incident could hardly be regarded as an exaggeration if related about the currencies of the strongest nations of Europe. The English pound, the French franc, and the Italian lire have all gone tumbling down, The German mark is calculated only in fractions of its former value, and the Austrian krone has in value become infinitesimal. : Every financial wise man in the world agrees that if something is not done and done soon, universal bankruptcy and panic will be the result. The plan of relief advocated by the European countries is to have the Ubited States lend them sufficient moncy to tide then over and stabilize credits. Certain people in the United States seer: to faver the same plan. Secretary Glass, however, gare-a blast to the hopes that any such plan would or could be caried out. In the communication issued by hint he offers a remedy, notjone which the “urapean countries have shown any desire to put into practice, bt which we think goes right to the spot. He said in part: | “Relief would be found in disarmament, resumption of industrial : life and activity and the imponition of adequate domestic loans. The American people should not, in my opinion, be called upon to hnance, 1 and would not, in my opinion, respond to a demand that they finance, ' the requirements of Europe in so far as they result from the failure tu take these necessary steps for the rebabilitadion of <redit.” ‘The-plan of disarmament goes to the root af the whole matter. |, Vuke, for instance, Puland.

THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7 Comperv of East Orange. He was the recipient of much social attention both in Jersey and New York. JAMAICAN PHYSICIAN WISPER NEW YO VIBITS NEW YORK Dr. James J. Edwards, a practising physician and the head of the Governor, Olivier Sanatorium at Spanish Town, Jamaica, B. W. I. came to New York three weeks ago, as surgeon of the Varmouth Hospital under chaperon to the Black Star Line, and which is considerably in the limelight at present because of the revenue commissioner's attitude toward the cargo of wines and whiskeys which it was supposed to be taking to Cuba. Dr. Edwards conducts in connection with the sanatorium a training school for nurses. He is well known among the Jamaicans now residing in New York and he has spent most of his time in renewing the old friendships. In speaking to a representative of The Age he said that he was especially struck with the progress being made by West Indians in this city. Asked as to the coming to this country of the West Indian colored man, Dr. Edwards said that they come here because of the large opportunities to be found. "I have met a number of Jamaicans, and from elevator man to typist and stenographer, from the domestic help to the business proprietor," said Dr. Edwards, "they all speak of the progress which is possible. One of the latter, who has been in America three years and in business for eighteen months, is making deposits in the bank each week that run into four figures. And he tells me that he is only one of several whom he knows to be doing the same thing. "A young Jamaican woman, a typist, said she was getting along splendidly and was perfectly satisfied. She said she was getting good wages, $40 to $45 per week, and that she knew of domestic help getting $00 to $20 per month, with a home where they work. Nurses from my training school have been able, after a short post-graduate course, to register here and they are in great demand. All this indicates a better understanding between the races, for the Anglo-Saxon will realize that his dark-skinned brother is bent on making good—good citizen and a good business man." Dr. Edwards returns to Jamaica on the Yarmouth, but is planning to come back later on and take a postgraduate course in some of the American hospitals. PLAINFIELD N J PLAINFIELD, N.

This Will Be God's Country In Truth Only When All Have Equal Opportunities, Said Dr. Garfield Hampton, Va.—That industrial relations may be successfully readjusted only through the wise development of a program of welfare legislation, provided for by the state through taxation, is the opinion of Dr. Harry A. Garfield, of Williamstown, Mass., president of Williams College and former National Fuel Administrator, who recently delivered the Founder's Day address in the Robert C. Ogden Auditorium before twenty-five hundred white and colored citizens. Dr. Garfield, in paying tribute to Gen. Samuel Chapman, Armstrong, who founded Hampton Institute in 1808, said: "It has often been said by those who knew him during his college days and the days immediately following the Civil War that General Armstrong's powers of body and mind, his joyous nature and high character opened the door of opportunity him that might care, that won riches and the career advancement. After a talk with Gen. O. O. Howard, Armstrong turned his lack on fortune. He chose the joy of helping others to realize themselves. He sought to advance labor from slavery to freedom." "I do not separate wages and opportunities from that which makes for Christian living," said Dr. Garfield. "Our beloved country, will be God's country in very truth only when our government provides equal opportunities to all and when we as individuals learn to make proper use of the opportunities offered and to subordinate wages and profits, to their proper places. It will not be good, country until we have opened the blind eyes of ignorance and have flung wide the door of opportunity to all who labor. Wages a Burden on Society. "Industry is interpreting peace in terms of wages. It is true that wages must be adjusted to the range of process. Melt cannot live on promises; and tailing process are still at best only promises. Let us not forget that wages are always a burden on society, a burden that must be cheerfully borne when justly imposed. An honest day's work must be paid for by an honest, just wage. But the demands now made by labor for increased wages are unjust. They cover too much. "The unskilled laborer is entitled to receive enough to maintain himself in good health and working condition. In addition, he should be allowed time in which to improve himself. This time over part of his opportunity. Not all employers offer it to Hampshire, but all should be given the opportunity to receive a schooling. The common schools of the several states are open to all but we must also provide night vocational schools and continuation schools and the guidance of working men's museums and public libraries. "Moreover, the unskilled worker and the skilled as well should be protected by insurance against accident, sickness, old age and unemployment. These are the principal items in the program of welfare legislation. They constitute the chief part of the program of the Christian state in an age of corporate enterprise when the individual by his unpaid endeavor is unable to cope successfully with the power of aggreated wealth. In dealing with the industrial problems of today we may say that no group of men is wise enough to determine the size of another group without its advice of all concerned." Dr. James E. Forge accepted at the Hopkins Hall, in the gift of some leannin' platform furniture, the gift of the children of the late Robert E. Gordon who served for many years as the chairman of the Hampton Institute Board of Trustees. Dr. Robert R. Moan, principal of Tuskegee, who spoke on the evening of Lounder's day declared that "Hampton Institute has not only taught men the dignity of labor, the value of vocational education, and the necessity of race pride and race interest, but it has also taught people how to live together harmoniously and in mutual service. This doctrine of human brotherhood taught so successfully by Hampton Institute through fifty old years, as the gospel which I have come to teach men peace on earth, good will to men Education and wealth are secondary to the spirit of service, for which Hampton has always rood." Sam Higgins bottom of Malabar, India, who for the past seventeen years has been connected with the organization of missionary work among lepers, told graphically the story of the development of agricultural work among Indian lepers. Among the Hampton trustees present were Clarence H. Kelkey, vice president, New York; Frank W. Darling, Hampton, Va.; Samuel C. Moriell, Newark, Del.; W. Cameron Forbes, Boston; Wm. Jay Schieffeln, New York; Chester B. Emerson, Detroit; Alexander B Trowbridge, New York; Robert R. Moton, Tuskegee, Ala.; Arthur Curtiss James, New York, and Homer L. Ferguson, Newport, News, Va. and in the evening he repeated the same as Shilo Baptist Church, West 41st street. An enthusiastic audience greeted him at both services. Ice has been harvested here this past January over 25-inch thick. I wonder what will be the cry next summer as every ice house in New York has been reported chocked off.

HIS and THAT," which opened at the Lafayette Theatre Monday evening to standing room, could not have made its appearance in Harlem at a more opportune time. To use a popular expression of those charged with dealing in verbiage of the high-brow order, it was the psychological moment." For more than a week the flu and zero weather had perceptibly dampened the enthusiasm of the theater; but just as the beautiful snow makes a hasty disappearance upon the advent of the sun's warm rays, so did gloom and mist do "a Houdini" when "This and That" dropped in New York for a two weeks' visit. In the whole of New York today a funnier show could not be found than "This and That." To make a bolder assertion, there is not a show playing in the Metropolis which can boast of as many full-fledged laughs as "This and That." As a playwright Alex Rogers can boast of having written one of the most amusing shows of the season—a theatrical offering productive of humorous lines and situations which follow one another with unabated celebrity. "Dink" Stewart, Jim Burris and Alex Rogers form a trio of comedians that would make the Kaiser laugh. Even old "Mr. Blues" himself would be forced to smile a little at their clean-cut comedy. A. Innie Jackson, Dink Stewart is playing a character for which he is admirably suited—one which gives him ample opportunity to make the biggest hit of his career as a comedian. Not so long ago Jim Burris was rated as one of the best colored straight men in the business. He wore swell clothes and was successful as a portrayer of dandy types. To-day he is a black-face comedian and many complimentary things are being said about his ability to provoke laughter. There is nothing boisterous about Jim Burris methods, but his dry humor is contagious. Alex Rogers tells the role of Dora Deane, as no one else can and the presence in the east of so clever an actor is readily appreciated by all who see "This and That." Such side-breaking comedy scenes as Dink Stewart in the doghouse and the courtroom trial are greatly enhanced by Mr. Rogers' presence. A L. Watt also is funnier than any time during his long and varied stay behind the footlights. C. Luckeyth Roberts has set some very tuneful music to Mr. Rogers' lyrics, and there are real song hits in the show, "The Witches Itch," sung by Dink Stewart; "New Orleans," by Julian Costello and chorus; "The Mail Man Must be Made at Me," featured by Ida Brown, Percy Colston and chorus, and "Charleston Bay," put over by Lena Sanford Roberts, are a few of the musical contributions of merit. The intrinsic value of some of the beautiful numbers is lost due to mediocre rendition, but in justice to the writers, the numbers compare favorably with any musical production on Broadway. Charley Woody, known as "Harlem's bunch of neatness," talks and sings well as usual, while Erstelle Cash continues to show up as one of our most promising and versatile young women. Whether in character parts or "looking pretty," she creates a favorable impression. Anna Crowder, Lottie Harris, Lydia Webb and Charles Shelton do their part to make "This and That" entertaining. Complimentary reference only can be made to the costumes from the Ziegfield Costume Department, and in providing scenery for eleven scenes it has been necessary to employ both quantity and quality. "This and That" is a musical extraction which will stand favorable comparison with some of the season's hits. Aside from its two chief contributions—humor and melody—the situations move quickly and the piece contains plenty of pep. It easily is the most meritorious effort made by the Quality Amusement Company in the realm of musical comedy. The program puts it mildly when it says "This and That" is meant to amuse." "This and that" does amuse, and in a succinctive sense. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS By BOB SLATER. Glenni and Jenkins are at Keith Palace, New York. Wilbur Sweatman is at Keith Columbus, O. L.

CREATING:A DEMAND HARRY & LAURA PRAMPIN SCHOOL OF MUSIC PHONE LONGACRE 603 918 W. 36th St., N. Y. City. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7 EDUCATIONAL RECITAL Roy Alfred Tibbs, pianist, and Lilian Evans Tibbs, soprano, were presented to the people of New York and Brooklyn by Mrs. Daisy Tapley in the inaugural recital of the third series of the educational recitals which she has been promoting for the past two years. I do not know of any musical effort among our people in any community that is more deserving of support and certainly this effort of Mrs. Tapley is entitled to the warmest sort of praise. Musical appreciation with many of us has always been largely a matter of personal contact. We have been interested in the musical performances of those in whom we had personal interest without any particular regard for their actual artistic development of musical attainment. There has been little interest in the musical vehicle itself, as to whether it be classic, popular or jazz, but we have simply been interested in the fact that it was ours or some one else's child or friend making a public appearance. Mrs. Tapley is working to create an interest in music from a different standpoint. Music for music's sake and an appreciative knowledge of what is good in music are objects for which she is driving. And through these educational rectangular opening now for the third season, she hopes to bring before the people artists of the race who are capable of interpreting the works of the great masters in a manner that will enable the masses to not only become familiar with these works, but to understand and appreciate them from a music loving point of view. Mr. Tubbe is at the head of the conservatory of music at Howard University. Washington. Just what has been his preparation for this very responsible position I am not prepared to say. When this conflict with the raging enthusiasm of the public made it necessary for me to venture forth on Thursday night, Samantha, when the Manhattan two program was rendered by Mother M. M. Zion church in West 19th street, and so was left for me to hear the program rendered on the next night at the Carlton Avenue Branch M. M. on Brooklyn, in which knowledge I maintain my domestic habit. However, the same program was rendered on both nights. I am really sorry that I could not hear the Manhattan program, because it is possible that Mr. and Mrs. Tibbs were at a disadvantage in their Brooklyn appearance. That is, at a physical disadvantage. Certain it is that there was a listlessness and a bitlessness about Mr. Tibbs' playing that fairly made our uncomfortable. His program consisting of a Brammi's sonata, a minor and three Lusso compositions, including the music of Tibbs, was in steel strings and the last minor piano piece. Mr. Tibbs received to the program a physically and mentally stimulating time for the players. SOME OF THE LATEST EDITIONS OF THE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE WASHINGTON POST. THE NEW YORK TIMES, JUNE 18, 1919. A new edition of the New York Times, edited by the late John A. McCarthy, was published in New York on June 18, 1919. The book contains a collection of articles and essays on various topics, including politics, economics, and literature. The editor, John A. McCarthy, was a prominent journalist and editor in the early 20th century. The New York Times was one of the most influential newspapers in the United States during that period. THE WASHINGTON POST, JUNE 18, 1919. A new edition of the Washington Post, edited by the late John A. McCarthy, was published in Washington on June 18, 1919. The book contains a collection of articles and essays on various topics, including politics, economics, and literature. The editor, John A. McCarthy, was a prominent journalist and editor in the early 20th century. The Washington Post was one of the most influential newspapers in the United States during that period. Mr. Tibbitt has a pleasing stage an- nouncement and her singing provides a opportunity for careful training and correct application. Her voice is a measure of quality but tails in flexibility and power, she appeared to best advantage in the Fairness Going Home, but the was not asked to respond to an entire un- altered list number. Much would be added to the enjoyment of Mrs. Tibbitt singing if the enunciation could be im- proved. The program embraced songs in Italian French and English, but so could be distinguished from where the audience heard, they might have been sung in the Hottentot language. The program was as follo- The next recital in the series will occur on February 28 and Mrs. Tapley will present Maud Cuney Hare and William Richardson in a lecture-recital based on Alto-American and Croke music. Mrs. Tapley has placed on the procmaster a line which says, "Ladies, are kindly requested to remove their hats. It would be a mighty one thing if the ladies would comply with this very reasonable request. They do so in the theatres where the seats are arranged on a sloping floor, and it is much more to be desired when the concert room happens to be a church or N. M. C. A auditorium where every seat is on the same level and a lady's hat of any proportions at all becomes a veritable screen to those in her immediate rear. I have suffered, so know just what I am talking about. Let me add my voice to that of Mrs. Tapley and ask the ladies to so direct their hair that they will not be afraid to remove their hats. "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast." One of the notable productions of the week, which is being observed in New York City as Music Week, is the presentation at the Capitol Theatre of Coleridue Laybor's cantata, "Hawaia's Wedding Feast." The management of this truly magnificent moving picture palace is giving this work its first presentation upon any stage in the world in operatic form. A gorgeous stage setting by John Wenger furnished the black ground for a chorus of eighty trained voices, a cast including a tenor solosist and native Indian dancers, and an augmented orchestra under the direction of Joseph Klein Warren Proctor as Chibibabo sang that wonderful aria, "Ongway' Awake, Beloved." The entire company appeared in Indian tunes and the entire production was on a dignified and artistic plane. The Capitol Theatre is at the corner of 51st street and Broadway and the production is being given every afternoon and evening this week. HUISWOUD ARRIVES In satisfying the demand of Uri Verdi that our teams give more recognition to references of our own race, the Leonard and St. Christopher teams agreed on Chris Huiswood as the sole official for their game last Thursday night. The fact that O'Fenno was present at the game and willing to go in as the eleventh man on the court proved to show the confidence these positional players had in Chris. And it was the credit of this lad, who has reached the position which he has held in the more work and strict manner that he did not betray his trust. Even though Chris is a well known figure around Manhattan Casino or any place where basketball is played, it was a surprised crowd that saw him take the court to act in an official capacity in New York's biggest game of the season. The writer trembled for the boy when the full realization dawned upon him of Huiswond's task. He was requested to go in as referee, without the aid of the outstaying umpire on the side lines, and for teams that know every trick of the game. The chair resolves and almost antagonistic feeling between the opposing players led ever one to believe that many teams would be committed. The question uppermost in the crowd's mind was Van Christie, real or not, at the same time. Well, it was However, after calling in for the center on the center, the team from local institutions, the team from local institutions and proceeded to earn a major. Seemingly the coach will the players of one team whether serve behind a front or at the back. Indeed he was the man who would see around corner. It can be said that the players as well as to his credit, that they never ignored one of his decisions. Though the St. Cows found many times the showed a wonderful respect for discipline but not trapping to engage with the object at any time where the game was in progress. Chris Huswold is a boy who has retrieved the majority of our preliminary games hereabouts for the last year. Until he is an official captain for the American Athletics, I am in 145th championship basketball center he was on light consideration as an elevator for big games among his people. He performed so well on this A.U. contest and was highly commended by this panel for his work that he should were invited to reprise him.

We want to more of our men follow him into the field as references and imitates. We want in an article of two weeks ago "Where are men like Eilee Wagner, Babe Thomas, Paul Rolon and J. L. White all of whom have already earned a place in sports' hall or fame." We again ask the same question for such men will have the respect of the players and will be a need to any official position connected with the game of a basketball. COLORED RUNNERS WIN In the monthly five mile road race of the Harlem-Height. Athletic League started from Alpha club house last Sunday afternoon, the runners representing the St. Christopher A. C. nursed first team honors and thereby the team trophies, for their club. The team consisting of A. Mathus, T. Thompson, W. Jackson, C. Mitchell and L. Coff, all of whom were members of last year's junior championship, team, sent out by the Parish House, brought in a score which beat their nearest competitor by five points. In total races a very easy method of scoring is used. The first runner cross the finish line is given number one, the second gets number two, the third, number three, and so on till all finish. The club which has five men finish with the lowest total score, which is gotten by adding the order of their finishes, wins whatever prize is offered for the team. For example, St. Christopher had men to finish in 1st, 2nd, 5th, 8th and 9th places and thereby totalled 25 points. It is all very well for the revenue men to say hot apartment dwelling may keep liquor in their pearl bliss, but it is not constitutionally to handwave the law without due process of law. ATHLETICS The Sporting World From All Angles LOENDI HUMBLES ROUGH ST. C. TEAM In what proved to be the most interesting game staged in Manhattan Casino in many a year and before the largest crowd that has ever turned out to pay their respects to champion basketball players in action, the Loendi Five of Pittsburgh decisively defeated the St. Christopher "Machine" last Thursday night by the score of 32 to 15. It seemed that the entire sport loving populace of Harlem Brooklyn and New Jersey, along with a host of loyal Pittsburgh roots who followed their team from the Smoky City to the Metropolis, tried to see how many people the 155th Street icebox could hold. The stage, the stars and every bit of available room where one could get the least peek at the basketball court, was taken up long before either team made its appearance on the floor. At exactly 10 o'clock the Loench squad led by little Kid Lloyds allowed its way through the crowd and came in view of the thousands who surrounded the enclosure. Immediately there went up a surprising yell which was hardly outdone even by that which greeted the home team as it came on the floor through another opening forced by special policemen. The worm greeting gave the visiting team courage and assured them that they had many friends in the house. Captain "Tom" Doyle took in team on hand standing at Pump Young and Season in one side of the house while the other and thus with each man no nearer the basket than the center of the court, the crowd was brought to its feet in applauding the wonderful aim these stars had on the basket. This was the way the Loench team warmed up. Meanwhile St. C was causing quite some excitement at the other end of the count by sending her second string men, Parkers, Care, Klineen, Anderson and Hopkins, out to warm up most of the two regulars that were in the lead. The Second Half. The second half began with a much enthusiasm as the first and for a time it looked as though the "Machine" would make a formidable stand, but Gilmore made the first field basket, which was followed by one from Posey from the center, of the floor, and things began to look hopeless for 133rd LAFAYETTE THEATRE 7th Ave.-132nd St. PHONE MORNINGSIDE 1811 ELITE AMUSEMENT CORP., Lessons LESTER A.

Coach Bradford being forced to remove Robbins. At this critical time, the St. Christopher management made the mistake of its life in permitting bad jenkins, who we all know to be one of their star forwards, to change his position and play guard against Cum Posey. St. Christopher also sent in Roberson, former football player at Rutgers College, Hopkins and Parker. Then followed some of the toughest basketball ever played in the upper Harlem amusement ball. Fat Jenkins deliberately punched, tripped and fell upon Dosey whenever opportunity permitted and Paul Robeson seemed to think he was back on Rutgers' football team from the way he ploughed through his many smaller stations. George Fial, who was hit at forward, also did everything in his power to bring his club into the disarray of every four-member person in the house. George was being guarded closely by Young. Young, the more experienced member of the famous Young brothers family of Lincoln University. As Young was a bit more engaged than Fial, the latter could do little against him while the two were on termina, but whenever there was a jump ball between these two, George never tailed to throw his body into the other as to send him sprawling on the floor. An Unwise Policy. In view of the fact that the home team came back from their trip from Pittsburgh claimin that they were accorded rough treatment in the western Pennsylvania town and that said treatment was the cause of their downfall, such action seemed thoughtless on the part of Christopher's management. Previous to the game I had been to by parties who are supposed to be in authority at the Parish House gym that the "Machine" was going to play their visitors the cleanest game in the world." What makes matters worse is the fact that the "Machine" apparently did try to play a clean game all through the first half and during a part of the second but resorted to rough and untidies after she saw she could not win. The red and black organization lost many a follower by their quintet's actions; not only the kind that is always with a winner, for they are not worth while, but the kind that loves good sportsmanship, which means a team must be a good loser as well as a good winner. SEEN AND HEARD. AT ST. C.-LOENDI GAME In California the Native Son's Visitors to marvel at their halts made. In this burg, we like newer to marvel at our crowds. The Irish burglers began getting on the good side of us last Thursday when they enquired, "Where do you get all the people." That St. C. cheering squad—Did you hear it before the game? Judging from the noise that gang made before hostilities and the absolute solitude that reigned over them at the cessation of battle, they gave a wonderful imitation of Bill Shakespeare's "Tempest and Sunshine." There was nothing attractive looking about the two Loendi players when they made their appearance on the court led by their big mascot, Kid Edward. However, everybody was looking at them before the passing of that first twenty minutes. Again Teddy Daniels led the red and black team to the battle ground. And in the second half, the Parish House players really tried to make a battle ground of the court, but their greatest simply would not night back. 100 PROUD, MAYRE, OR TOO MUCH COMMON SENSE.

Leaving Friday night, from the Parish House the St. Christopher team that had suffered such an ignominious defeat at the hands of the Loendi players the night before, boarded a Pullman and journeyed to Hampton, Yau, where on Saturday night they were billed to play the famous institute team that has a town missed after it. After an uneventful trip, the squad with a few loyal followers arrived in Gape Charles, where they had to take the boat for Hampton. From the time of their entrance into Hampton to the time of their departure the boys have nothing but praise for the royal treatment they received. Saturday night in the Institute's large gym they met the team that has made such a wonderful record at Hampton this year that it is rated with the best that ever represented that institution. The place was taxed to its capacity to house all of the enthusiastic onlookers. The New York boys started out like a. whirlwind as is their custom and led their southern brothers from start to finish, when the score stood St. Christopher 30, Hampton 14. All present agreed that no cleaner game had ever been witnessed in the Hampton gym than was played Saturday. It is a certainty that Hampton will send a team to play a return game with St. C. early next season. The following account of the game has been sent me by Charles E. Williams, of Hampton Institute. Hampton, Va.—The St. Christopher team of St. Philip's Church, New York defeated Hampton in one of the fastest basketball games ever seen here, by a score of 30 to 14. The "Red and Black Machine" lived up to its reputation for wonderful team work. Its passing and shooting, not only thrilled the spectators, but at times took its opponents off their feet. Hampton scored first and led for the first few minutes, but their joy was short-lived, as the first half ended 17 to 6, in favor of St. Christopher. The second half began with St. Christopher again leading in the score. The Hampton routers, loving all hope of winning the game, began to enjoy the sensational playing of the visitors. This victory places St. Christopher and Hampton on an even basis. In the six games played, both have three victories to their credit. The visitors excelled in every department of the game and gave one of the finest exhibitions of basketball ever seen here. Although the game was hard played, it was free from roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct. Hampton 14- St. Christopher 30. Philips, Capt. R.F. Capers McLaren L.F.

A. came near being credited" part, for had a defeat Spartan Brave, when they played at Labor Lyceum a little more than a week ago. I would have you pay particular attention to the "come near being credited" part, for had a defea- been checked against the Spartan "Braves," the "Lightning $^5$" could not have truthfully claimed a victory. Not because the referee led by the Brooklyn V. C. put Frank in one of the Brooklyn's star guards out on the game of the first ten minutes, play for I saw borne may be based on the referee's shut and say something to him. I was not able enough to hear what Frank said but to recall that the referee was pretty with in his rights in removing him from court in becoming a player, and I command the official to his courage. Not because this referee called twelve of the twenty seven tally against Spartan "persons" for he called tour "persons" against the Brooklyn players. Not because the referee called to follow Lobes to the bench by calling four personal fouls against him, for I saw George commit the fouls and Drew threw all the season the greater tools too much. Brooklyn could not be truly stunned, a victory because she was dealing out to the New York boys just what some of her players had complainingly repeated was handed to them in Atlantic City by the Vandals a few days before—raw decisions. There wasn't a man on Brooklyn's team that didn't know that his life was being outplayed. There was not a Brooklyn player or any man in the crown, knowing the one point of the game who could not see the reference favoring Brooklyn. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7 every time he threw up the ball. It is a known fact that if a ball is thrown between two men and more over the head of one than the other, the latter is sure to commit a foul if he tries hard to strike it. No one knew this any better than U. J. Schneider, who the Brooklyn team had paid to work for it in the capacity of referee. Manager Allie Wilson, who has gotten too important this season to do anything except sit on the sidelines in uniform, saw all of this going on and did not once take steps to have it stopped. Then that crowd! I think I shall have to carry an article on sportsmanship for their especial benefit. Johnson could not attempt to shoot a free throw from the foul lines unless there were cat calls, hisses, etc. This was so much in evidence that the referee had the Spartan captain take four free throws, one right after the other, until such nonsense by the crowd ceased. The final score was Brooklyn A. C. 20, Spartan Braves 30, thanks to the timely whistle of Ross, the Spartan representative at the timer's table, but it by no means gives any idea of the relative merits of the team. It should not surprise anyone if on Friday, February 6, the "Ibraves" amass a large score against this club in their return game. CONN SPARTANS WIN The old Wanamaker Five of Springfield, Mass., that is playing this season for the new St. John A. C. of that city, travelled down to Waterbury, Conn., to engage in a basketball duel with the Spartan A. C. of the Connecticut town. The teams were pretty evenly matched and one of the most closely contested games ever played in that sector was enjoyed by the large crowd that turned out despite the fried weather. Throughout the game neither team was able to show any marked superiority over the other and the crowd was kept continuously on its feet, cheering for the home team to win. Much applause, too, had to be given to Capt. Freeman's Massachusetts boys for the spectacular plays they were making and their wonderful team work. The final whistle found the Connecticut contingent leading its Massachusetts opponents by two points—the final score being Spartan A. C. 22. St. John A. C. 21. The Waterbury team will take a trip to Springfield on February 13, where it will tackle St. Johns five in the latter's home town. All Springfield is awaiting that date so that they may be present and help the home team-regain its lost laurels. Motriss Freeman, captain and manager of the St. Johns A.C. writes Turr. As saying his team has never met a cleaner set of sportsmen that the players of the Connecticut team. Freeman is anxious to have his team make a trip to the Metroplays and try its hand at some of the larger fry. (I am glad Freeman sought Turr' Am, as a medium through which to issue his challenge; for there are some unscrupulous managers against whom I can give him a reasonable warning that may save him from an embarrassing situation if he should enter into dealings with them). Spartan and Brooklyn in Return Game. Friday night; February 10, the Spartan "Braves" will have a chance to disprove the idea that the "Lightning Five" of the Brooklyn A. C. is anywhere near them in the race for local championship honors. On that evening they will play the Brooklyn quartet at Manhattan Casino in return for the game played in Labor Lyceum Brooklyn, January 26. The Braves will also be able to let the public get a line on their chances for a win over the St. "Machine" when they meet the latter organization in March. It is a known fact that the Braves are more anxious to get a chance to win than ever, even in Bosny's men over some them, they saw many weak spots in the old hat that they never had been able to discover before. Spartan men know and well that unless they score a decisive win over the Brooklyn team Friday night, they won't be able to draw any one up in Manhattan to see them tackle the Manhattan team in Miami. There are they are going in to page as many baskets as possible in the forty minutes allowed for play. They are not going to play in a revengful spirit, despite the decisions they received when they met the Brooklyn contingent on its home court, and only won by one point in a 29-30 game. They are going in to convince the public that they are still in the local championship race and discovering another chance at the St. C. "Mackay" there is good reason to believe the Braves may have a chance at the Mt. chime now that the latter's winning streak has been broken. The Spartan generals should have been convinced by the game on the twenty sixth that Fail and Fat Jenkins can be guarded and if they watched Young and Betts at the Pittsburgh team, they ought to know just how to do it. Arcee, who is the real brain of "Lightning 5" is just as anxious to get another crack at St. C. as Spartan's. popular manager, Bob Dougson, and he is therefore priming his teammates for a win over the Breves. A win for either and public opinion will demand that the victor try conclusions with St. C. The Spartans are without doubt the most popular team in New York to-day, and the Brooklyn A. C. is almost as popular on this side of the bridge as in her own locality: The public would rejoice in seeing either of these teams dethrone St. C. But can they? Come and see for yourself. TENNIS TALK ADVICE TO LOCAL CLUBS. The question has often been asked: Why is it that local clubs (meaning those clubs located in: New York, Brooklyn, Long Island and New Jersey), whose memberships total more than ten times that of the other sections of the country which send representatives to our National Tournament, have never been able to produce a champion? Divers reasons have been advanced by "people in the know," clubs and "near-do-wells," some of the most common being "the out of town players have been at the game longer," or "they have a longer playing season, than we have," or more common still, "their opposition to each other enables them to get better results from their practice than we are able to get from playing one another." All three of these reasons may be more or less true. Yet, I contend that none of them can be truthfully pointed to as the real cause of our shortcoming. There are undoubtedly some basic underlying causes, some things or conditions, about which we all know, but for fear of hurting one another's pride or losing what prestige we think we have, we have remained quiet. In view of the fact that local talent has but one more year to try to hold that huge silver cup, donated by the late Minie, Walker, that goes with national championship honors for ladies; and but two more trials at the equally as wonderful bowl donated by Bert Williams for national supremacy among men, they should busy themselves and immer in these undergoing causes. Because of the generosity shown by these donors, to create interest in what is fast becoming the king sport among ladies and gentlemen of all races, home talent should show greater effort to keep these marvelous trophies here, where they belong. The death of Mme. Walker should be an added incentive to the ladies hereabouts to prepare themselves to gain permanent possession of the tennis trophy named after her. Miss Rae, "the little wonder" from Jamaica, B. W. L. has come here and won this coveted prize two years in succession, but our home girl should put up a stronger game next season so that she won't win it for the third time and thus become its permanent owner. The men have a little more time to prepare themselves owing to the fact that the Bert Williams cup has been won by different invaders each of the two years it has been offered as the national championship emblem in men's singles. Causes for Poor Showing. There may be an endless number of causes given, but to my way of thinking the whole trouble lies in the lack of cooperation between the ranking players of the various clubs hereabouts; a superb bandwound of four that they will lose a little local prestige by suffering a defeat at the hands of an aspiring newcomer; a short-sighted clanish spirit by one of our most powerful clubs that has more than one good player on its membership roll; and a general failure on the part of all our local clubs to give sufficient attention and encouragement to their members. Mans of these organizations have been in existence some few years, but I have set to see the first time when any one of them has hired an instructor so promptly enough the promising material that each of them has on hand. I say cashier if I take them individually, there is the Ideal T. C. with Ransys, Jim and Norbert Bain, Gerneite Turner, Bromwell and many other diamonds in the rough including of course their two most reliable ladies, the Miss Osendowle Smith and Blossom Lewis, the Gremville T. C. with its president, L. E. Spooner, as a shining light, strongly supported by L. E. George E. Lomonds, Arnold Adams, Dr. Case and the most versatile aggregation of lady players on the roll of any one tennis club, Mrs. Susie Madison, last year's New York state champion, Mrs. Lotte Wade runner up in the state championship, Mrs. Terrell, Mrs. Fiona Leonard and two first year ladies who showed unusual promise, Mrs. Eva Smith and Mrs. Pauline Millner, the Colonial T. C. which has the honor of having presented to the American table "the little wonder," Miss Rae, and has such other good players as Phipps, Charles Buchanan and the former New York state champion, Mrs. George Connick; then St Marks Church of West Sird street supports an organization under the name, with Freddy (one arm) John on as their main attraction. Thus marvelous has few finished stars as chubmates, but a host of willing material, including the Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Johnston and Thomas Davis. Of course we cannot leave out the Arrow T. C., whose foremost players are Mrs. Reed, Conrad Norman, Charles Knowlew and Saitz. Of the clubs not located in Harlem we get the Wicoma T. C. of Williamsbridge, represented by Messrs Hill, Berry, Mertens, Stevenson, Thomas, Coleman, police officer Battles and Dr. Leon Scott; the Four Leaf T. C. of Englewood, N. J., held up by Leslie Cobb, the Hinton brothers, Mr. and Mrs. Owens, the Campbell sisters, Brown and a few other good ones; the J. B. Taylor Club of Brooklyn which has the most beautiful location and most spacious courts of all the clubs. This club has Messrs. Loring, White, Williamian, Taylor and Dr. Granger to keep it to the front and is the only club in this section to seriously attempt to develop our younger generation in the sport. Their serious handicaps have been due to a lack of ladies on their membership roll, but the male contingent shows lots of promise. It can truthfully be said that they are the best sportmen in the game. Though they suffered defeat after defeat last year, they invariably tendered their conquerors a royal reception. I have left the Montclair clubs, the Hillside and the Oriole to the last because I want to say more about them. It is my candid opinion that these clubs with players like Miss De Loach, Mrs Barnett, Dr. Callitt, H. S. Bell, Terry, Tibbs and Tibbs will produce from their number our next national champion in either the ladies' or men's singles if they act wisely. All of these players named have reached the height they have through no help from their clubs. Without exception, under the guidance of an instructor who knows his business, everyone of them can develop into wonderful racquet wielders and it stands to reason that some few of them will reach "stardom." All would be valuable to their clubs by instructing new entrants in the game and by playing exhibition games to which admission could be charged. Are the local clubs going to make some concrete effort to capture supreme honors for this section of the country next season or do they prefer to remain in their lethargy and thereby let outsiders gain permanent possession of and carry away two of the most beautiful prizes ever offered for a tennis tournament? BASEBALL. HILLDALE TO FORM CIRCUIT. Darby, Pa.—That the, off season has produced no inactivity in Hilldale ranks is evidenced by the fact that Manager Bolden has made it possible for the Hilldale nine to be seen in action this season, not only on the home lot, but they will display their wares weekly at Camden, N. J., and Willington, Del. as well. Doctors Branch and Vaughn are very much interested in having Hilldale represent Camden in twilight baseball every Wednesday, while popular business men of Willington are eager for Hilldale to be their town-home team for Fridays, even though they play elsewhere during the other part of the week Francis to Captain. Billy Francis will spring the prodigal son act when he again takes up his abode in Quakertown, for as old-timers know, this diminutive third-sacker formerly held down the hot corner for the old Philadelphia Giants, and the sand lot of Wilmington were the scene of his earliest endeavors at taking the game seriously. Bolden's men in different sections of the country were anxiously watching for the old ground hog last Monday in order to keep him from seeing his shadow and going back into his hole thus bringing on forty more days of winter. They write that they are eager to set signs of Spring so that Hilldale may combine brains with brawn and start the gruelling season. The Holdale manager started early to avoid the rush and the present time limit, from contracts from Outfielders Barber, Johnson and Roberts; holders Francis, Landy, Downs and Allen, pitcher, Whitworth, Cockerel, Stark and Bourney; catcher Yank Holden in expecting Charleston, formerly of the Indianapolis ABS, and a well known catcher, to fall in with his string before the team starts its Spring campaign. TENEQ CLUB DANCE One at the prestigious dances of the season was given last Wednesday evening at central Casino by the Teneo Club the new social set that has Edward S. Hinds as its president. It was erects because of the grand beauty of the ladies and their elaborate costumes. Unhike affairs to which the general public is invited, the Teneo Club dance was well on its way toward success by 6 o'clock in the evening; a good number of its guests having arrived by that hour and scores of other guests were wending their way toward the little dance palace in which they were gathered.

The dancers were quite interested in Gladys Goode, a popular miss hardly, out of short dresses, who was one of the band's violinists. Miss Goode performed well durfully and aside from a little hash- fulness, is well adapted to her position The evening sped fast with one good dance after another and with a few exceptions all stayed until 4:30, when the tired Jazzers jazzed "Home, Sweet Home." Among the pretty ladies who were out we recognized the Misses Townsend of Flushing, the Hale sisters, the Gross sisters of Jersey City, H. Hill of Coromo and Mesdames Harris and Townsend of Long Island. The crowd was favored also by some demonstrations of the modern dance by L. E. Payne. MINOR-THORPE MARRIAGE MINOR—THORPE MARRIAGE One of the prettiest weddings of the season was that of Miss Gladys Adèle Thorpe and Ebert Anderson Minor, which was solemnized at Siloam Presbyterian Church, Lafayette avenue, Saturday afternoon, January 24 at 4 o'clock. The church was beautifully decorated with palms, cut flowers and smilax. J. H. Van Houen'ts orchestra of New York City rendered the music, Thomas Hall and Charles Simmons rendered solos and Harold Foster rendered a cornet solo, "O Promise Me" before the entrance of the bridal party. Wedding marches were from Beethoven and Lofteiner. The bride's attendants were Misses Dorothea Ward and Mildred Wilson, who wore duchesse lace over pink (safeta, with pictureque hats of maline, carrying large bouquets of pink roses, Algetha De Rivian Christian was flower girl, wearing pink organdie, and preceded the bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father, Mortimer A. Thorpe. The bride was charming in a gown of ivory satin, tulle veil, with oragne blossoms, and carried a shower bouquet of white roses and maracas. Page boy was Master Reginald Menelik Christian, carrying a white satin pillow with the ring. Albreta Wilson acted as best man. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. John W. Lee, of Philadelphia. The reception was held at the home of the bride's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cooke, from eight to twelve. The bride's table was decorated with red and white. Many useful and expensive presents were received. The bride and groom left at 11.30 p.m. for Philadelphia, where they spent their honeymoon, guests of Mrs. Laura Brunett, aunt of the groom. They will be at home, 89 Kingston avenue, Sunday. February 8.
