10th session of the New York annual conference of the A. W. church, which closed at Albany, N. Y., on Sunday, June 27, was held by no special features of significance and few changes in the Lincoln and New York church pastorates. The most important change was the removal of the Rev. Dr. A. R. Cooper from Bethel Church, 132nd street, New York. He was transferred to the New England conference
Hon. Charles W. Anderson acted as assistant and was at his best. In his summers remarks he referred to Dr. Moton as the race most useful citizen. Dr. Moton was a friend of Charles H. Roberts, Sr. Dr. H. H. Proctor, J. Douglas Wormer, W. Eyard, Eyard Daniels, Hassan F. Fred R. Moore, John E. Nathan and R. M. Bolden.

He took pride in relating how successful his endeavors have been in helping bring about a better understanding between the races in the south.

"The most asked Dr. Moton told of Tuskegee is helping organize inter-communal Southern community and was one of the most interested for racial harmony now being asked on.

According to The City Record of June 24, the Board of Alderman adopted this resolution, which was considered to be entirely a routine matter, and granted a permission which had never been refused before to legitimate organization, according to statements made by persons in touch with such matters. It is noted, as a matter of fact, that as the same session approved the Welfare Association to conduct a flower sale through the city streets on June 29, and the Mt.

derman Harris, the vote by which the foregoing resolution was adopted was reconsidered and the paper ordered on file. This of course, meant recording the favorable consultation given the request, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association did not conduct its Day celebration in Harlem, nor did it increase its New York Branch building fund from the sale of flowers by the ladies of that organization.
Damage Suits Aguinat Editor
Which carries the additional meaning that the prestige and influence of Alderman Harris is said to be very much lower this week than it was two weeks ago among the members, and friends of the association and its parent organization, the Black Star Line corporation. Those who have sought for a reason as to why the Alderman went to such extremes in block the work of the Universal Association, were told, while it may have no hearing on the matter, that it is alleged to be the case that officials of the Black Star Line corporation had filed suits for damages against, Alderman Harris in his capacity as editor of The New York Times based articles published in that publication, being alleged that the publications were derogatory and libellous in so far as the Black Star Line people were concerned.
It is recalled in this connection that the Black Star Line was awarded a verdict recently against the Chicago Defender for having published certain alleged libellous statements concerning the plaintiff's corporation.

Strong Forces Are at Work to Save Colored Woman Condemned for Crime Committed By Another
Counselor John W. Smith Tells of Hope for Reversal of Verdict, Based on Judicial Errors
A strong and determined effort is being made to save Hattie Dixon in life. Mrs. Dixon is the colored woman now in Sing Sing under sentence of death by electrocution during the week beginning July 12, she having been convicted of being responsible for the murder of Margaret Morton, a 17-year-old girl, for whose death Theodore Scott, who killed her, is serving a five-year sentence, and Theodore Dixon, son of Mrs. Dixon, is under life sentence, a commutation of the original death sentence pronounced in his case.
Margaret Morton lived with Mrs. Dixon. There was a $500 insurance policy on her life in Mrs. Dixon's favor. Theodore Scott, confessing to having stained the girl in Franz Seigel Park, testified that he and the Dixon boy had been hired to commit the crime that the beneficiary might realize on the policy. Mrs. Dixon had two trials. The first resulted in a drawn jury, the men standing, according to information, eleven to one in favor of an acquittal. The second trial resulted in her conviction, the jury deliberating for more than eight hours.

The second trial, resulting in her conviction, was in the Bronx County Court, Judge Gibbs, presiding, and it is upon all grievous judicial errors and prejudicial rulings that Counselor Smith bases his hope for a reversal of the verdict upon appeal.

A peculiar phase of the matter is that
Think Woman Innocent.
Persons who attended the court relations became convinced of the women's innocence. Mrs. Ingle J. F. Irwin, 101 West 13th street, was one of these persons. She has been devoting her energies to the arousing of interest in the case and to the raising of a fund for the purpose of financing the appeal which will automatically operate as a stay of execution.
Counselor John William Smith has been counsel for the defense from the first. He has given unintentionally of his service in the woman's behalf, and he informs Tue. Aug. that notice of appeal will be filed this week. For the expense of the appeal, $500 to $1,000 will be needed. About $100 has been collected by Mrs. Flores and friends.
In talking to an Agr. representative, Smith said that he was absolutely convinced of Mrs. Dixon's innocence. Living at 20 West 137th street, she was known to all the neighborhood as an honest, industrious, hard-working woman. She was originally from North
RED COLES DROWNED;
FUNERAL ON TUESDAY
The funeral of Lewis B. Coles, well-known as "Kid" Coles, who was drowned Sunday at Lake George, N. Y., was held Tuesday evening from Mother Zion Church, the Rev. J. W. Brown officiating. The church sifice was crowded to the door with friends and representatives, of fraternal organizations. The deceased was a member of Celestial Lodge of Masons, Monarch Lodge of Elks, the Clubmen's Beneficial Leagage and the National Head and Side Waiter's Association. Louis B. Coles was a popular young man in Harlem and resided in the Washington apartments in 142nd tree with his wife, Mrs. Hazel Coles. He was a waiter and had been working at a hotel at Lake George a short time. Sunday afternoon after eating a large meal he went out boating with friends. Later he jumped from the boat to swim. He was see, to throw up his hands as if calling for help, but as the deceased was always of such a playful disposition it was thought that he was jissing. When he called for help a second time, however, his friends went to his assistance and just in time to see him from a water grave. A physician was summoned, but too late to revive Coles, who is said to have attached with heart trouble while in the water.

The second trial, resulting in her conviction, was in the Bronx County Court, Judge Gibba, presiding, and it is upon all grievous judicial errors and prejudicial rulings that Counselor Smith bumps his hope for a reversal of the verdict upon appeal.
Light Sentence for Scott
A peculiar phase of the matter is that Scott, who did the actual killing, was given a five-year sentence, which will probably be materially reduced, while the Dixon boy and his mother were sentenced to death. The boy, after a wave of protest had arisen against the executing of a boy of his age, 17 years, had his sentence commuted to life imprisonment. Counselor Smith is emphatic in his statement that the verdict is susceptible of reversal, and cited a number of instances in which he alleges that the jury's finding was probably based on judicial errors and the court's prejudicial attitude. Contributions to the fund are urged and is stated that the every possible safeguard will be needed to the handling of the money, and that it will be used only for the purpose designated.
Mrs. Maria Coleman of East Orange, N. J., a sister to the condemned woman, exhausted her resources in counsel fees in the first trial, but is making every possible sacrifice in behalf of her condemned sister. She joins in the appeal for help to raise money for carrying forward the apalex.
DRUGGIST HELD ON TWO
CHARGES OF ASSAULT
Facing trial on two charges of criminal assault, Thomas Donaldson of 549 Lenox avenue, a drugrist, formerly of Philadelphia, is under bail of $1,000 in each case to appear for trial on July. The charges are made by the mother of Genevieve Baker, 11 years old, and Alphis and Beatrice LeGarr, nine and seven years respectively, who charge the drugrist with having committed assault against the little girls. Mrs Helen Baker lives at 549 Lenox avenue, in the same building in which Donaldson conducts his drug store. Mrs Carrie LeGarr lives two doors down, at 545. The alleged acts are charged as having been committed in the hallway in the basement and in an apartment at the drug store building occupied by drugrist's step-daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Baker, who is separated from her husband, has been working in the country, coming fringe on Friday-nights for the weekend, her little girl being left in care of the janitor. The LeGarr children were the Baker child's playmates. Mrs. Baker returned home on Friday night, June 25 her daughter being asleep in the janitor's apartment. Saturday morning the child told her mother and the acts alleged to have been committed by Donaldson on Wednesday and Friday preceding. A warrant sworn out by Mrs. Baker could not be served until Sunday, as the drugtest was out of city. He is reported to have returned on Sunday morning from Philadelphia, at which time he was arrested on Mrs. Baker's warrant. In the meantime the LeGarr warrant. In the meantime the Monday, when bail in the sum of $1,000 was given in the first case, the accused was arrested on the second warrant and a similar bail required and given. Donaldson denies the charges in town, and declares that the thing being a frame-up. He has retained Counsel N. B. Marshall, Mrs. Baker's lawyer is Counsel Robert L.

Rev. Charles T. Walker Is Given $10,000 by White Friend
Georgia Minister, Given Sum for Personal Use, Gives Half of It to Church He Founded and Pastors
AUGUSTA, GA.—The Rev. Charles T. Walker has been given the sum of $10,000, for his personal use, the contribution coming from a wealthy Northern white friend who seeks in this way to express appreciation for the services rendered both races by the distinguished Negro preacher, Dr. Walker immediately announced that he would give $5,000 of the sum to Tabernacle Baptist Church of which he is the founder and pastor, and which is now striving to complete its $100,000 institutional church building.
Wealthy white friends have frequently suggested to Dr. Walker the acceptance of contributions for personal use but he has steadily declined such offers. The recent impairment of his health, though it has been followed by almost complete restoration, led one of these friends to insist again upon Dr. Walker that he accept this contribution and his efforts to decline were of no avail.
ABYSSINIAN CHURCH TO HOLD TENT MEETING
The New York City Evangelistic Committee has erected a mammoth tent, 110x75 feet, with a seating capacity of about two thousand on 158th
The contribution was given absolutely without strings, but even so, Dr. Walker said it would be impossible for him to selfishly use the entire sum for personal benefit. So he gives half of it to his church. In commenting upon the gift, The Georgia Baptist, published here, said:
"After the passing of the first emotion which must have swept over his noble soul, he will be the same unselfish, congenial and brotherly G. T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., that he was before he received this renewed evidence of his real greatness.
"The Georgia Baptist, for itself and its readers, wishes to extend many thanks to this friend, for, in thus blessing Dr. Walker, he has paid a tribute to the southern Negro, whose character, ability, and integrity is not generally recognized. And, while there are perhaps other isolated instances where colored men hold the confidence and respect of leading American citizens of means and power, they are not many.
"This lack of consideration and sympathy grows out of the persistent coloring and advertising of the Negro imperfections, and the disposition of souls to allow a one-sided testimony to stand and operate against the race. We congratulate Dr. Walker and his public and intriguing congregation, and wish for many more years of peace and prosperity."
RUSH MEMORIAL PAYS
TRIBUTE TO DR. CROOKE
Rush Memorial A.M. E. Zion Church

The East India Hair Grower
Four Colored Men, Named by Colored Councilmen, Dropped From List On Demand of Democrats.
(Special to The New York Acs)
Baltimore, Md.—The elimination of the names of four colored men, nominated by City Councilmen Warner, T. McGuinn and William L., Fitzgerald, from the list of constables submitted to the City Council by Republican members and those allied with the Jahon faction, has created deep resentment on the part of the colored people. Their anger is such that O. E. Weller, Republican candidate for United States Senate, and the two city Republican candidates for Congress may be defeated in November next.
When Messrs. McGuinn and Fitzgerald left the city to attend the Republican National Convention at Chicago it is said that they were assured that the names of the colored men would not be stricken out. Mr. McGuinn is a member of the joint council committee on constables, and, as such, has led in the fight for colored constables.
McGyuan Threasaga Revolt.
As soon as Mr. McGunn returned to the city Monday he got busy, and is said to have told some prominent white leaders that he would lead in a revolt of colored voters if the names of the colored men were not restored.
Bishop John Trust made strong protest against the elimination of the colored nominees at the meeting of A. M. E. ministers on Monday. A committee was appointed to make a vigorous protest and to urge Mayor Broening to veto the ordinance for the constables, should the city-council pass it with the colored nig eliminated.
All the constables are now Democrats.
The deal would give Republican wards constables, from that party and allow one faction of Democrats to name the others. The Democrats finally balked at the colored, men and the white Republicans took advantage of the absence of the colored councilmen to substitute white Republicans.
While the councilmen were away Walter S. Emerson, committeeman for the 14th Ward, was asked to eliminate the names of the colored men. He refused Mr. Emerson, John H. Murphy, veteran editor of The Afro-American, and Diane H. Murphy then got busy in a futile effort to prevent the dropping of the men.
The constable ordinance, with names of the colored men eliminated, has passed both branches of the City Council and will be placed before Mayor Browning when he returns from Indiana, the latter part of this week.
Considerable dissatisfaction exists here because white Republicans led in the elimination of names of the colored men, and both the Afro-American and the Baltimore Herod have protested editorially, declaring that the Negro voters should register at the polls their indignation at the conduct of the white leaders on the party.
BALTIMORE, MD.
Baltimore, Md.-The Rev. C. H. Stephen, in delivering the address to the graduates at the commencement of The Teaches Training School, urged the class to impress upon the whites with whom they come into contact the necessity of giving up their prejudices as are the colored people in reducing their ignorance. Mrs. Susie Brown, wife of Capt. George W. Brown, owner of the steamer Starlight and Brown's Grove, an amusement resort, has filed a suit for an absolute divorce. Her action follows closely upon the action of the Circunt Court No. 2 in turning down her plea for partial divorce.

NO EASY TASK.
While the probabilities are in favor of the election of the Republican candidate for the Presidency this fall, the associate managers of the campaign have no doubt already arrived at the conclusion that it is no easy task that is before them.
Despite the blunders and evils that have marked Democratic rule during the past seven years, the party has managed to enlist several diverse elements to its support. These factors include the organized labor unionists, the sympathizers with the cause of Irish Freedom, the large number dissatisfied with the strict enforcement of Prohibition and the unknown number of idealists who believe in Mr. Wilson's League of Nations.
These forces who have failed to the comfort or satisfaction in the Republican platform or its candidate are not to be overlooked, when added to the large number of dyes in the wool Democrats, who would vote for a yellow sound dog, if it bore the brand of party regularity. Then, it is always to be remembered that the Democratic candidate will start off with the electoral vote of the Solid South counted in his favor, despite the gary visions of those Republicans who can see Kentucky and Tennessee and even Georgia in the Republican column. This moonlight may do to equile July and August day dreams but I garners to votes in November. The Republicans must elect their candidate in the North, East and West. They must show the voters of these sections be necessity of replacing the extrava-
a return to the safe and president administration of the country. The condition must be carried for all classes of voters, and especially to the new voters among the women, that the return of the Republic to the owner will be for theetterment of humanity, not in the world attitude but in home. No other voters in the country has lost most politically through Democrat rule than the Northeast of the country, and on the other hand they have grown largely in common and industrial relations through the war period. These gains in an industrial war have resulted in a certain degree of indifference to things political. The final of the Republican Congress to abolish the prowess, or to adopt legislation for the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, to make buying Federal insurance, and to make laws in the industry.
Party in importance to vital issues has begun indictment among the voters to the need of the party. If the party leader wants to get out the full strength of the vote, No, she can only seek to do that, the indictment be active and will be effective. It will be no easy task.
WOMEN IN THE CAMPAIGN.
The important part that the women of the country are expected to play in the coming presidential campaign is indicated by the announcement that Chairman Mays decided to appoint a woman out of the possible seven members of the executive committee of the Republican National Committee. As this is the committee that will really run the campaign, the significance of the large representation given the women is apparent.
As the names to be mentioned for this republication are all the names of white women, it does not appear that any thought has been given to the large number of colored women who will be entitled to vote for President this year. The men of the race are represented on the National Committee and on the advisory committee, but so far the existence of the colored women voters has not been recognized. Does not Chairman Hays think it good policy to provide some method for instilling the interest of this class of new voters in the effort to install a Republican in the White House as President?
BARGAIN IN WAR STORIES.
In a compact volume of 150 pages the stiff paper goes bearing the portraits of three smiling colored soldiers leaping out of a concentration dawn out appeared what is styled "Complete History of the Colored Soldiers in the World War." While the title is somewhat too comprehensive for the character of the work, the reader will gain a very full and clear idea of the salient features of the part played in the war by the Negroes of this country. The records of the 15th New York and 8th Illinois Regiments are rapidly reviewed and the story of the heroic feat of Johnson and Roberts is recited in Col. Hayward's own words.
Incidents of the work of the 20d Division under Gen. Ballou are given, together with picturesque narratives by individual combatants. A chapter is also devoted to the colored Canadians, the Somali and South African Negroes, the Moroccan and the troops from the British West Indies.
As a popular narrative of the part played by the colored soldiers from all parts of the world in the war, this volume fills the bill admirably.
It is illustrated by a number of life-like photographs of war scenes and portraits of men and officers.
Copies can be had at the moderate price of 35 cents each. Subscribers to TNr. Act can secure a copy by adding 25 cents to the subscription price, or sending $2.25 to pay for TNr. Act for one year and a copy of the book.
The foreword is contributed by Sergeant J. A. Jamieson, Sergeant G. I. Williams, Corporal, H. White, Private Jack Allen and Private John Graham, who vouch for the contents of the book as absolutely true. It is well worth reading and preserving.
CARRYING THE COLOR LINE.
There is a tendency among the members of the race to be over sensitive on the subject of color. This tendency is of course excusable to a certain extent, because of the fact that the matter of color is so frequently thrust upon them. But it would be the part of wisdom and good policy to forget the fact of color when possible and to regard themselves merely as Americans and good citizens.
Such an attitude maintained with modesty, and dignity would of time, disarm the outcroping of prejudice based solely upon color, and would ensure the individual the same treatment accorded people of other races. Carrying the color line as a chip on the shoulder is a sure wa of provoking resentment on the part of the other fellow, while a calm and unconcerned demeanor, with proper insistence on the same sort of treatment and accommodations furnished the public in general is more likely to win acceptance and secure proper recognition.
Negroes should endeavor to forget their color in public places and regard themselves solely as an integral part of the body politic, with the same rights and privileges and the same duties and responsibilities as any other class of citizens. New York is a good place to practice such a polish as a compulsorian city where every person is so intent on his own pursuits, that so long as the other man or woman does not treat on his face, he or she can go his own gait unmolested.
The public places and conveyances are open to all, with the provision that each person's right end where his neighbor's begin. So there is no necessity to flaunt the color line in your neighbor's face, so long as he is indifferent to your color and only asks that you do not infringe on his rights.
This does not mean that Negroes should not engage in business. Sections like Harlem, where there is a large population of the race, but they should do it on the same broad plane as other businesses, for the purpose of selling commodities and attending services, for which there is a public demand. It will not do for them to appeal for percentage solely on the ground of race and color. Their good must be as reliable, their prices as moderate and their service as good as those of their competitors. With these conditions met, the people of the race should give large support to those otherities because of the ultimate good they mean to the race, in building up businesses which will benefit the race by turning employment to its members and creating new opportunities for the joining generation.
Do not flamm the color line where it will hurt the race but improve the opportunities opening on every hand to build up business that may benefit the race. Do not meet color until color meets you.
The Republican party at the Chicago convention adopted a resolution providing for the cutting down of Southern representation in the national conventions of the party. The disproportion of delegates from the South and the manipulation of these delegates were dwelt on, and the resolution was unanimously adopted.
A HARMFUL PROPOSITION.
It is reported that literature of a harmful character has been circulated in Harlem, charming custom working in under familiarity in dealing with their remnants of customers. The concerns attack of in the under manner are mostly those conducted by white colonies.
This matter of familiar advances charged against salesmen of both races has been referred to in these columns, and if the charges are based on facts, the remedy is largely in the hands of the women themselves. Any behavior of this sort should be encouraged at the outset, and it would be a prettie, well prepared colleague who would persist in such conduct if properly rebuked. Sometimes the good nature of the woman customer is misinterpreted as an invitation to this sort of undue familiarity. Such a mistake should not be allowed to rest without correction.
The resolution directs the National Committee to adopt within twelve months a inst and equitable basis of representation; this basis is to be forth in the call for the next convention and to be binding on all future conventions until otherwise ordered.
Regarding the resolution, Mr. Howell, a member of the National Committee and of the Executive Committee of the National Committee, says:
"It means that in future national conventions there will be no secret deliberation for or tying up of delegate from Southern states in the interest of any aspirant with large financial resources.
"Republican national convention, further to never have been truly representative. The Democratic states of the Solid South have had an aburduh high quota of delegate, giving to about ten or eleven states a power entirely disproportion to their real importance in the Republican party.
"Instead of ten or eleven southern states in the future casting in the aggregate 145 to 165 in a national convention, there is a strong probability that they will cast not much more than one half of that number. The tentative plan of the national committee is to accord four delegates-at-large to these states, and not to allow any district delegates-at-large, unless there are Republican votes, functioning as they do in the Northern and Western states, to warrant representation."
The old adage that familiarity breeds contempt still holds true, and women shoppers should resent at once any such imputation as the familiarity referred to casts upon their bearing and character, no matter what manner of salesman it comes from, whether he be white or colored.
It appears that the plan contemplates four delegates-at-large from each of the Southern states and one additional delegate for each Congressional district that casts 7,500 Republican votes. We would not for a moment hold that this is not a just and equitable basis of apportionment for representation of the Southern states in the convention; however, we are concerned about the real cause for the action which has been taken. There has been much talk about "scandals" and the manipulation of delegates, but the scandals and manipulations which caused the most serious embarrassment at Chicago did not take place in the South they took place in a western state.
The women can settle this matter much better than the anonymous circulates can.
A special to the Indianapoli. Freedom from Valdosta, Ga., reads.
The excuses of Negroes from this section of Georgia continue and if kept up, will almost depopulate the section of population. The strife is study and no one can tell when the door will stop.
The truth of the matter is that the underlying cause of the action is in the renewed and growing fight between colored Republicans and lily-white Republicans in the Southern states.
What special injustice prompted this hegira not be stated, but as previous reports from other sections of Georgia have shown a deplorable condition of lawlessness and repeated injustices practiced upon Negro farmers and laborers, this movement is probably entirely justified.
At every convention the contests between these two factions come before the National Committee and the Credential Committee, and cause the Republican leaders more trouble, more side stepping, more perspiration than the drafting of the platform. The Republican lead-
ers want to get away from this dilemma, on the horns of which they are thrown quadrennially.'
The situation promises to become more troublesome at each successive convention, unless something is done to remedy it, for the simple reason that colored men in the South haye grown more insistent and intelligent about their political rights, and cannot be bluffed off or bought off as they could be in years gone by.
So the party leaders feel that new apportionment of Southern representation will solve the difficulty. Perhaps they feel that by reducing the representation one-half they will reduce the difficulty, at least, one-half. Maybe they will, and maybe they won't. It is likely that the colored men of the party in the South will put up just as determined a fight to be one of the four delegates-at-large from their several states or to be the one delegate from the Congressional districts casting the required 7,500 Republican votes as they have here-toore put up for seats in the convention.
We do not say that the new apportionment is unfair; indeed, we say that it is fair, if it is made to mean only what it says. The dissatisfaction which we voice is that the Republican party has not gone far enough in the mere reduction of Southern representation in the national convention. It should go farther still. It should go to the root of the whole trouble and reduce Southern representation in Congress, unless the South gives to the Negro the right to vote under the same qualifications required of other citizens, and protects him in that right.
THE INTERCHURCH WORLD MOVEMENT.
The withdrawal of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church and the Northern Baptist Convention from the Interchurch World Movement seem to threaten the very existence of the undertaking. If such should be the result, it is to be regretted for two reasons: first, the movement promised to bring about a closer cooperation among the churches, at least, the Protestant and Evangelical churches; second, the program as laid down by the movement promised a great many practical benefits in which the colored people were to be included.
The exact reasons for the withdrawal of these two strong denominations, without which it does not seem possible that the movement can succeed, are not yet made entirely clear to the public. That they must have been serious and weighty no one will deny.
The published reports of what happened at the Baptist Convention give accusations chiefly of extravagance. Outside there come rumors that the whole movement was designed as a means whereby religious thought and activity could be more completely under the control of the capitalistic powers of the country. The truth will undoubtedly soon come out.
VIEWS and REVIEWS By James Weldon Johnson, Contributing Editor
FACTS ABOUT DULUTH LYNCHING.
There are some facts about the Duluth lynching which are not generally known and never will be generally known. The despatches carried by the Associated Press gave only enough of the facts to make it seem certain beyond any doubt that the men who were lynched were guilty of the crime with which they were charged. It is true that some of the newspapers carried a statement in three or four lines which quoted the county attorney as saying that his investigation convinced him that at least two of the men who were lynched were innocent; but this statement instead of being given headlines was hid away where most readers would fail to notice it or at any rate fail to be impressed by it.
There are some other facts connected with the affair which ought to be given wide publicity because they throw a strong light on the whole case. These facts we have learned from the local newspapers of Duluth and the report of an investigator sent to Duluth by the N. A. A. C. P. branches in Minnesota.
It is alleged that a white girl of Duluth, 18 years, of age, escorted by a young white man named Sullivan, was watching the colored rostabouts load the paraphernalia of the Jack Robinson shows at some time between nine and ten o'clock at night. It is further alleged that six of these colored men had a hand in taking the girl into the bushes and raping her.
As the story is told, one of the colored men held a revolver to young Sullivan's head, while the others dragged away the girl. Sullivan stated that one Negro held him and even compelled him to watch the others as they, in turn, ravished the girl.
This is indeed one of the most revolting stories of the kind ever relattd. But this is not the end of the story. According to Sullivan and the girl, after this most hellish deed was accomplished, they were compelled by the Negroes to leave the circus grounds by a round about way and take a street car home. They took a street car home, and young Sullivan went to work at midnight. The next morning he informed his father of what had happened and his father, in turn, informed the girl's father. In the course of time, the lynching of three colored men followed.
Now, the puzzling thing about this story for any thinking person is, how was it possible that a young, tender, innocent girl could be raped six times within an hour by six brutes and be able to ride home in a street car, to show no distress and make no complaint to the other passengers in the car, and to say nothing to her parents when she got home about the terrible treatment she had suffered?
A STRONG MAN NEEDED.
Since the death of the Rev. William M. Moss, a vacancy has existed in the pastorate of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, located in the Borough of Brooklyn. This is the leading church of that denomination in that borough and one of the most important in the country. It has a large membership and recently acquired a new and spacious chapel in a conspicuous location.
It is hard to understand how it was that young Sullivan and this girl happened to be the only ones watching the loading of the circus paraphernalia. At the hour of the night cited it is likely that the roustabouts were loading on the menagerie part of the show, and it is certain that this work would attract the attention of everybody on the circus grounds who was not in the big tent. It is also certain that this girl could not have been forcibly dragged away, as Sullivan describes the affair, if there were any other persons around watching the roustabouts work.
The pastors of this congregation, including such men as the late Rev. William T. Dixon and Dr. Moss, occupied a high place in the local community as men of light and leading. The place that they occupied needs to be filled by a successor fit in every way to take up it. Here they left it and to carry it to greater heights.
But the story does not end here. On the following morning when the girl's father heard the alleged facts from young Sullivan's father he complained to the police, and the police held the circus, which was at the moment leaving for Virginia, the next town where it was to show. The circus was held, the 150 colored employees were lined up and young Sullivan and the girl brought to identify the guilty men. They failed to identify anyone, and the circus was allowed to proceed to Virginia. The same day six of the men were arrested in Virginia and brought back to Duluth; three of these were lynched. Later, a dozen or more were arrested.
A man is required to exemplify the possibilities of the Baptist faith, not only in the pulpit of Concord Church, but in the community life of Brooklyn. No weakling nor neophyte should be called to the task, but a man possessed of strength of character and the experience fitting him for the task
One of the evening papers of Duluth published the bare facts; the mob spirit was arrested. The same evening, as early as 6 o'clock, people began to gather near the police station. "The police made no real effort, to check the mob in the making. At 8 o'clock, according to the Duluth papers, a truck, load of boys were permitted to ride up and down the principal street of the city, swinging a rope and brandishing clubs, loudly yelling for "justice" to be done to the Negroes in the city jail. If these boys had been arrested, the mob, probably would never have formed.
The trustees and the people of Concord
will need to exercise the utmost care
to select the right man for the place.
The editor of the Nashville Clarion
gave his conception of heaven as fol-
low.
These are some of the facts concerning the Duluth lynching which have not been widely published, and never will be. No sophisticated prison, no person who has any knowledge of the world and human nature can give credence to the story told by young Sullivan. Nor would it take a Sherlock Holmes to construct from the salient facts in the case a theory of what actually did happen.
We are taught that in heaven there are milk and honey, crown and harp, golden streets and golden shoes, neverending Sabbaths, perpetual daylight and eternal rest, what better place is the Churchman looking for. He is a trifle hard to please.
Evidently Editor Isaacs does not allow for a difference of taste, that would be quite apt to find a diet of milk and honey cloaking and that would like to substitute soft kid once in a while for goldenshippeds. Let heaven exist in the mind of the believer, as a way attempt to reduce it to bald description is bound to be a failure.
WHY NOT GET AT THE BOTTOM?
The Louisiana (Ky.) American Baptist notes the purchasing of homes and the accumulating of property as one of the most encouraging signs of the progress of the race and evidences to good citizenship. It argues that.
With the greater amount of money carried by our people, there should be a greater disposition to save and to invest and there is no better investment available and communal home, for one who owns real estate is a valuable asset to any community as he contributes to the peace of the community as well as to its support by being a taxpayer.
The investor should also assure himself beforehand that his taxes will bring him a return in public improvements and the protection of the Law.
Prof. Robert K. Kerlin of the Virginia Military Institute, in a recent magazine article published in Reedy's Mirror of St. Louis, pronounced the growth in importance of the Negro press as a sign of the times. He said among other things:
Activity of the colored press of the country in these troubled times; the spirit, the boldness, and the influence of it, may well excite alarm as it has done, even in the seats of the mighty. There are nearly four-hundred Negro papers published in this country, and they are prosperous as never before. Their circulation during the war period vastly increased, and new papers—all of the outspoken and abler type—have subsequently sprung into existence. The colored people are fully informed of this their papers make it a matter of rejoicing and pride. It is, indeed, a sign of the times.
The "alarm" that Prof. Kertlin refers to must exist only in the minds of those who would repress the aspirations of the race toward equal conditions and opportunities and for common justice. The article gives an able and imperial
review of the Negro newspapers as a medium of race news and opinion. The editor of the Mirror adds the injunction that "More white men should study the Negro Press and find out what it is the Negro wants, and can be given him due, as a human being." According to an article in the Tuskegee Student, the observance of Health week among the Negroes is rapidly becoming a National movement. It continues:
That Negroes are rapidly awakening to the fact that cleanliness is an essential factor in the prolegation of life; was very clearly demonstrated by the manner in which the Negroes in almost every section of the country rallied to the National Negro Health Week Campaign of this year, thereby causing the campaign of 1920 to be the most successful since the movement was launched by Dr. Booker T. Washington.
Besides nine meetings held in New York City, the observance took place in many towns and cities of Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri and many other States. The practical effect was shown in the cleaning up that followed on what was known as "Clean Up Day."
A lachrymose letter on the Chicago National convention, bewaiting how the colored delegates were unrested, one by one, and their places assigned to the white contestants, has appeared in several of the Negro newspapers. The Philadelphia Tribune and the Washington Bee gave it the position of the first column, first page, with headlines suggestive of tear dimmed delegates, seeing hopes sweep away. But the juice of the cocoanut lay in the last paragraph, as follows:
The colored voter is not duty bound. The way is clear and it goes without saying a good democrat of the Grosso Cleveland type would serve the country far better than the republican who stands for neither one thing or the other.
And such veteran Republicans, as Chris J. Perry and W. Calvin Chase fell for such Democrat propaganda. What is the country coming to?
"A farm of twenty-five acres of fine land is given by the Liberian government to every Negro immigrant from America, according to Dr. John H. Reed of Montrose, Liberia, now in this country," says the Nashville, Tenn., Globe. This sounds like the preliminary to a new African emigration movement. Those seeking the farms should go prepared to clear and till them.
Find enclosed my check for another year's service of your paper. Your last year's service was very good and I shall have no complaint to make at the end of the current year if it has no better. One thing about The Age that says apparent is its adherence in all it. In that respect The Age is very unlike many of our papers, and reminds one of the story of the Lark in the wheat field" that refused to be alarmed or excited by the rules it heard every day, of when the farmer was going to cut the wheat. Permit me to congratulate the proprietors upon moving their planters over the midst of our people. The change must be better. With best wishes for the health, happiness and success of the whole Ace family. V. P. THOMAS New Orleans, La

It is not perfect: because there are some grown-up among them; there are representatives represent a spoiled generation, while the children represent, Nature and God.
So those children of many races are almost ideal democrats: they play are fight, sing and laugh, quarrel, hate and hate, irrespective of race and color.
I looked upon their exercises and met their eyes at the "Commencement" of School 119 in Harlem, the Lowell School. In this grammar school the colored children predominate in number, as colored folk predominate in Harlem. But there was no arrogance, the colored children did not seem to be trying to "cut" the white children, or to oust them from games or honors or seats or companionship. There were all colors: white, yellow, brown and browner; golden and more golden, dark and darker still; and on up to those midnight children of Niola. And all though the teachers were practically all white, it happened that a perfect black girl with the eyes of deep eyes had the highest honors of the class with 92 points out of a possible 100 in her studies. She also took a swimming prize.
When the honor students were called out for a formation on the floor, the daughter of the Goddess of Night was of course called first, as (quoting her principal) "the most brilliant star in the night sky," and the honorees white and colored took the tions in symmetrical rank behind this girl as their center and front. The colored honorees slightly predominantly I must commend to older girls the sweet-tempered and democratic leaving of all these girls, white and colored as they took their stand behind this dark brilliant star. There were no frowns or pecuismies; no quarrelling with Eats the evident complaining against God. They were all collected men. Skin colors seemed to be just as important as the various hair colors.
This meanness is not natural in the artificial product of such civilization as we have. When these children appear as they came from God and under hand of guidance of the less sophisticate teachers of the grammar schools, they imitated Later they became meshed and tangled in multitude of lies and false human pride. Let us learn from the children they may be not only "father to the mind" but also my become his teacher and organizer.

JULY 6
In The Realm of Music
By Lucien H. White
Much interest is being manifested in the approaching second annual movement of the National Association of Negro Musicians to be held in New York city on July 27, 28 and 29. The sessions, it is announced, will be held in the auditorium of Bethel A. M. E. Church, West 132nd street. The local branch of the national organization is busily engaged in preaching plans for entertainment at the young musicians and the results of the N. A. N. M. have worked to arouse an active interest among black musicians in all sections of the country.
Officers of the New York local
David J. Martin, of the Martin-
South Music School, president;
Marine Dean, vice-president; Req-
pal Dean, secretary; Daisy Tallow,
receiver. In a talk with Mr. Mar-
ne asked me to emphasize the
fact that the promoters of this asso-
cation are earnest endeavoring to
petitr an organization that will
work for the continued advance-
ment of musical standards and with
the purpose always of remaining
in artistic ideals
The long progress of the race is must be along lines that must be the highest type of performance, either socially or organisational, and to develop this type must be laid a solid foundation of theoretical and practical knowledge. Mr Martin agrees with me in thought that the day has passed in the musical mountaineers to be considered seriously as a master. The measure of the race accomplishment is great, but it must be a matter of common, everyday knowledge that musical development in the highest sense requires the intellectual development in the turn necessitates career and opportunity.

National Association of Negro Musicians, reference so which was made in this column two weeks ago, (June 12), especially to be the letter published by H. B. P. Johnson in the National Baptist Union-Rewiew, I am in receipt of a letter from Mr. Grant of Washington, one of the promoters of the new publication, in which he goes into detail concerning the matter. He also encloses copies of correspondence had with Mr. Johnson, and he gives me permission to use any or all of it, as it suits my need.
There has come also a letter from Wellington A. Adams of Washington, publisher of one of the music magazines already in existence, and referred to by Mr. Johnson in his aforementioned letter. Mr. Adams writes "in defense of The Music Master magazine" and declares it to be his hope "to prove to every musician attending that national meeting in your city in July that The Music Master is worth while."
As to Mr. Adam's magazine, to put the last master first, it does not seem to be my province to take up the cadgels either for or against my journal, incolar as the master of an official organ of the N. A. N. M. is concerned. That strikes me as being an affair germane only to that association and entirely thorrs for a decision. The quality of the Music Master, either in contents or personal of its staff, is determined by the efforts put forth by its publisher and the use he makes of the resources at his command. It is also, I think, to be considered his personal prerogative to make it of as excellent fashion as he can.
If he can then "sell" his wares to a desired customer, he is to be congratulated on having developed something that was desired by one able to pay for it. It is the customer's privilege, however, to be satisfied before purchasing, and if his choice be something else or somebody else's commodity, it certainly remains his privilege to exercise a free choice.
I cannot go over the whole matter this week. Perhaps not at all. But Mr. Grant's letter, accompanied with a prospectus of the first number of the proposed magazine, promised for June 25, but which if published, I have not seen, makes out a very strong case. He contends for the "right to promote an enterprise and claim for it the hope of superior ideals," and declares that "the Negro needs to be more serious in his endeavors." To both these declarations assent must necessarily be given, since they represent a plane to which the earliest and well-intentioned writer, of this column has long been trying to attain. "Superior ideals" are always to be desired and striven for, and serious endeavor is a means by which they can be reached. The whole matter will be thrashed out at the forthcoming session of the national body.

VIRGINIA BUSINESS
IMPROVED BY LEAGUE
Va. Prior to the existence of the Virginia State Negro Business Association, the annual conference in Portsmouth, July 13 and 14, very little of a creditable nature could have been said of for Negro business enterprises. Disorganization, suspicion, petty jealousy and inscrutement operated by Negroes which were located in dingy shops, principally on side streets or alleys.
The dawn of better things began when the late Dr. Becker I Washington organization national Negro Business League in 1899. In addition to the business enterprises Negroes already had, they now have more and better banks, insurance companies, buildings and loan associations, restaurants, grocery stores, tailor shops, newspapers, printing and publishing plants, undertakers and embalmers, hard-driving parlers, barbers shops, hotels,剧院s, dental parlers dressmakers, associations, and many other businesses.
The buildings in which these enterprises are housed are located as a rule in the various cities, buildings which would reflect on any race of people anywhere, as may be readily seen as one pass through the streets in the cities of Vienna.

Development of the National Urban League's Activities
Eugene Kinclick Jones, executive secretary, of the National Urban League, 127 East 23rd street, has prepared a news letter for the members of the executive board of that organization giving a resume of the developments of the work of the League in its various branches throughout the country. Some interesting facts are brought out, giving at the same time an index as to the economic and industrial opportunities recently made available for men and women of the race. The executive secretary, educational been assured and with the added resources two field workers have, some which we feel we should receive covered the national field, visiting cities from other locals and friends, our bud in the East, South and Middle West, de- get for the entire year should be raised, living addresses and attending confer- we have received a very urgent inven- inces.

Better relationship between the foremen and the workers, and the white and colored workers, respectively, have already been noted. "The Urban League has been developed in Kansas City and at present plants are being perfected by which the Community Service, Inc., and the Urban League may be combined into the Urban League, which will reduce the overhead cost of the two organizations and enhance the community's health of the Community Church beginning January 1, 1921, thus assuring the organization its budget.
Conducts School Dental Clinic
The St. Louis Urban League is conducting a school dental clinic for the support of which the Board of Education has approved the permit permitting the League representative to solicit support from school principals and pupils under orders from the Board of Education. A Social Workers Club has been established, a home and school visitor appointed and new avenues of employment opened to colored workers.
"The Urban League in Columbus is participating in a community wide survey, based upon which a Community Health Center has been placed that city. "A forensic class has been established in Cleveland. Two welfare workers have been appointed in a foundation and in a chemical company. Three colored men have been placed as foremen in an industrial plant. An industrial secretary and a director of Home Economics have been added to the League's staff. A class in social work has been placed in the training department of the Association Charities. The strike of the colored employees in large foundations was settled satisfactorily to the employees and employees alike, and a woman welfare worker has been placed in a Cleveland laundry where fifty colored women are employed. Also a colored woman has been placed with the Restoration Commission, also a worker with the Girl's Protective League, and one of the Public Welfare Commission.
Wellesley College.
The Boston Urban League with the assistance of ten students of Wellesley College is making a housing survey. Two lectures on race relationship have been given by the University of Massachusetts, Bulkloe, at Wellesley College and the Boston Urban League is now being used as one of the district headquarters of the Boston Clean Up Committee, cast off clothing being collected and prepared by the League. The League is also being tributed to families, in the community. The St John's Institutional Activities of Springfield, Mass., affiliated with the League, is conducting a most interesting study of the housing situation in a monthly funded apartment centre with reading rooms, and now has purchased a number of model apartment homes rented at reasonable rates to collect rent. The Boston Urban League recently formed, in raising a fund to establish a Home for Working Girls.
The Newark Urban League is conducting a series of educational meetings with such persons as Kelly Miller, Mrs Mary Church Terrell, Miss Nume Burroughs as speakers, and Roland Hayes Mine Florence Cole-Talbert as musical artists. It has organized the High School Student Council for mutual improvement Health Work. It has been successful in setting nursing nurses appointed in the department of Child Hygiene at the Board of Health.
Conducted Baby Show.
"The Pittsburgh Urban League conducted a very successful Baby Show with forty contestants and even perfect babies. It has placed during two months more than three-fourths of 2,000 apples in the hands of the children. A health and housing secretary has added to the staff.
"The Philadelphia Association for the Protection of Colored Women has aided in the establishment of a new building and loan association which is managed entirely by colored women. It is represented on the advisory committee on Health appointed by the Director of Public Health of the City of Philadelphia.
"The Atlanta Urban League is conducting a campaign with the board of Education to secure more adequate school structures so that the compulsory school law may be carried out for colored as well as white children, is urging a bouring law for Atlanta, and is trying to improve playground, trying to get improved conditions in the terminal railroad stations, and is making an industrial survey as a basis for constructive service."
"C S. Toucas of Youngsone, Ohio, connected with the team league move with eight white workers of a joint committee handling juvenile work which is said to be further ahead than that of the state department, said similar work in the State of Ohio.
Locale Assist National League
"It is interesting to note that the local organizations are rapidly beginning to make an impact in Newark, Cleveland for the Nationals, Newark, Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia, Chicago and practically all of the smaller cities have definitely acquired financial obligations, as well as the support of the organization. More than thirty of the organizations, above than thirty of our burgers have defended our airline budgets."
been assured and with the added response which we feel we should receive from other locals and friends, our budget for the entire year should be raised. "We have received a very urgent invitation from Allen T. Bornis, the new president of the National Social Work, to hold our 1921 conference in connection with the National Conference, which is to be held in Milwaukee early in June 1921."
Examination of Va, K, A, J
Petersburg, Va.—The session of 1919-20 of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute was a tense one. The total enrollment was one thousand and sixty students. This number includes eight hundred boarding students, the children of the Practice School and the day students who live in the community. All available space was utilized and more than two hundred applicants, were turned in. The boarding school could be provided for them. We are hoping that in the near future, addition of dormitory space will be provided, especially for boys. We shall look forward to the time when the Institute can provide for twelve hundred boarding students, without congestion. If the housing can be provided there will be no difficulty in securing the students, and by way of improving conditions about the institute and in increasing equipment and facilities for work.
Taking advantage of the offer of the federal government, the institute has purchased more than $12,000 worth of iron-working and wood-working equipment for trade in wood and iron, and more teachers will be added for instruction in agriculture and home economics. The laboratory facilities will be greatly improved and increased. Recent purchase of adjoining land bring our total acreage to more than one hundred acres. The new bath rooms in the main building will be constructed and will soon be compacted; new hardwood floors are being laid in some sections, and a number of other improvements will be made.
One of the most urgent needs of the institute is a new practice school building. The school has been well done, it has been carried on under very adverse circumstances. The General Education Board has recently given us $10,000 to supplement the funds now in hand, and a new Practice School building will be erected this summer. This very generous and well-organized investment needs and we are grateful.
This was "Alumni Year" and the graduates booked to their alma master from many states and communities. They gathered here for the renewal of old books and for the annual old school spirit. They did not merely indulge in sentiment; however for the students and graduates reported that they had raised nearly $3,000 to finish paying for a plot of ground at Alumni Field. The alumni also committed themselves to the erection of a building on the campus to be known as the "Alumni Building." The regular session of the Summer School began June 21, and will close July 31. under direction of President John M. Gandy.

THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS
Musical Shows Form Big Attraction At the Lafayette
ONE musical show after another is to be the order of things at the Lafayette Theatre for several weeks to come, and in "The Man Who Owns Broadway," the Quality Amusement Corporation has put its best foot forward in its efforts to furnish the public with this form of entertainment. Although the piece has been seen in Harlem before, patrons are showing more than ordinary interest in its engagement.
The choral work in "The Man Who
Woos Broadway" is worthy of special
mention, the singing being the best
bed at the Lalayette this season.
There are more girls and prettier girls
in the production than any other show
has been able to boost of, and every-
body from principals to chorus people
wear clothes that look well. Unusual
attention has been paid by the man-
agement to costumes and scenery.
Aside from several effective ensemble
numbers some of the other songs go
over big. "When the Bell of the Lighthouse Rings Ding Ding," sung by
Clarence E. Muse, and "O," sung by
Charles Olden and Edna Scottron, win-
rounds of applause. In marked pro-
duction made by Miss Scottron during her
short career before the footlights
shows that Brooklyn people are not so
slow sitter all.
The chief female part is assigned to Mrs. Carlotta Freeman, whose ability to act serve her in good stead. Others to contribute to the success of "The Man Who Owes Broadway" are Walter Thompson, J. Francis Mores, Inez Cleough, Edward Thompson, Will A. Cooke, Lillian Goodman, Arthur A. Monmons, Walter Robinson, Edward Saunders, E. C. Caldwell, Flvda Webb, Lotie Harris, Jennik Day and Charles Lawrence
THE LINCOLN THEATRE
At the Lincoln during the first half of the week the Five Whirlwinds colour performers, offered something novel. They combined clever dancing and singing with extraordinary and difficult rapid-fire trembling. Doyle and Doyle, black-face artists, also had a novel singing and acrobatic act. Grace St. Clair and Company presented a rather mediocre playlet. The Three Yoseyars offered a stunt act, and Adams and Brown contributed original songs. Hope Hampton appeared in Modern Salome, based on the well-known story of John the Baptist and the dancer, Salome. Why Change Your Wife? Cool Be Mike's latest picture, is now being shown at the Lincoln. This film drama presents in an entertaining way the serious problems of marriage and divorce.
"HELLO 1919" AT THE LAFAYETTE NEXT WEEK
"Hello, 1919," the musical show in which Frank Montgomery and Florence McClain, supported by a strong company of comedians, singers and dancers, appeared at the Lafayette Theatre last fall, will open at the Lafayette for a week's engagement commencing Monday, July 5. The company includes Alice Ramey, Daisy Martin, Margaret Scott, Dike Thomas, Paul Floud, Bob Davis, Tiny Ray and Bobby Jones.
PUTNAM TO HAVE "THE MAN WHO OWNSB'WAY"
Following its successful week's visit at the Lafayette Theatre, "The Man Who Owns Bridway" will open Monday, July 5 at the Putnam Theatre, Brooklyn, Walker Thompson, Charles Olden, J. Francis Moore, Victoria Fieberman, Inez Clough, Edna Soutron, Lilian Goodner, Elyda Webb, Louise Hartra, Will A.

MacGowan Addresses Players' Guild
On Monday evening, June 28, Kenneth Macarton, dramatic editor of the New York Globe, was the speaker at the regular meeting of the Colored Players' Guild at the 18th street Y. W. C. A. "What the critic looks for in his review; methods of producing; and subordination of the 'Star' for the good of the group," were the subjects Mr. MacGowan had been asked to cover. In the epoch-making movement started by the Guild and was unstunted in his praise of the work and the standard set by producer, artist and cast.
Blue Belt A. C. Entertains
A wonderful party was given by the Blue Belt A. C. that wonderful club of girls, last Saturday evening, June 26, at the residence of Joelothy. 2002 Second Avenue. The girls had engaged good music and despite the heat their guests enjoyed themselves by dancing to the popular arts played. A paper cap was tinned to every guest who put in an appearance. In all there were three styles of caps worn, round caps on the ladies insured by the Blue Belt, an English shaped hat for the gents and the special blue turban worn by every member of the girls' club. In the midst of all the enjoyment the music was halted and a most sumptuous feast was served, the girls themselves acting as waitresses.
The musicians did not wait for the girls to hush serving before they needed their tunes. While the guest liked music with their meals, they seemed to prefer dancing to anything else and a beautiful portion of salad or cooling dish of cream was cost aside by the large dancers. The evening or we might more truthfully say the morning events soon evolved into an announced dancing contest between Mr. Gale and a gentleman whose name we called to learn. No completeiy did Mr. Gale stop all the other male dancers present that his competitor's name was of little consequence. The Blue Belt club deserves lots of credit for the stride it has made since its organization less than a year ago. These girls have not only put a good basketball team on the court, but are now learning tennis, with the hope of making good in that sport next season.
Some of the guests at the party were Miss Lillian Brown, Mr and Mrs Haggan, Mr and Mrs Smith, Mr and Mrs Warner, Mrs Agatha Glasgow, Mrs Beeve Murray, Mr and Mrs Edna Vattelle, Mrs Schumacher, and Mrs John, Gale, Henry Wilson, Chris Hineswood, Eric Hodge, Edward Jameson and Herbert MacBean. All enjoyed themselves till near 1 o'clock, when "Home Sweet Home" was played.
Rendall Memorial Church
The morning sermon preached by Pastor W. R. Lawton, was "I live by faith in the son of God." At the evening service, the Rev. Dr. Mayhew, preached from the 4th chapter of the Lostle James, "What is your Life?" Rev. Lawton's vacation commences next Sunday. On July 1st, at the church house 258 West 13rd street, an oratory contest and debate by young masters of the Sunday school under the direction of Mme Rosa E. Mowis, directress of the juveniles, will be rendered. Mrs. Alice Brown and Counsellor Alvin J. Mose will sing.

THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1930
Johnson Stars in Tryouts at Franklin Field—Almost Laps Fred Faller; National 10-Mile Champion—Evans Victorious.
(By JOHN.)
Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Pa., June 26. Not a record fell, but the field was studded with brilliant performers when the Eastern Olympic track and field trials were staged on Franklin Field, the spacious athletic enclosure of the University of Pennsylvania, this afternoon. Many former champions and a number of members of the 1912 Olympic team went down to defeat before the new crop of college and school athletes that have come to the fore since the great war halted international sports.

Conditions were ideal for the games, there being a warm sun, clear sky and fast track. The team authorities had the athlete show up, even detain the athlete might show up at their best.
Johnson's Sensational Work.
The most sensational performance of the afternoon was the race run by Earl Johnson in the 10,000-metre event. This sterling distancer, who now represents the Morgan Community Club of Pittsburgh, was formerly a member of the Salem-Crescent A. C. of New York. There were few present who recognized him as the boy who forced Charlie Pores, the former national live-and ten-mile champion, to break the American record for five miles at the national championships at the bake-Naval Training in 1918. Pores won in the 10,000-metre event were Fred Faller, runner-up in the interalled championships in France at the distance, and who succeeded Pores last fall as the national 10-mile champion, George Cornetta, metropolitan senior 5-mile champion; Pat Flynn of the Paulist. A. C. New York, national indoor 2-mile champion, and several sterling distance runners from the different districts in the east.
Undaunted by this array of champions and near champions, Johnson took the pace of Faller, who was out in trout from the crack of the gun for five miles, and then went into the lead never to be headed. Faller stuck to the furious pace set by the colored boy for two laps and then began to fall back, being passed in turn by Cornetta and Flynn. On the bell lap Cornetta, who was then fifty yards back, cut loose with a terrine sprint to overhaul Johnson, but to no avail as Johnson had plenty reserve, and letting out with a sprint himself crossed the line twenty-five yards in the van. The rapidly tiring Faller was almost lapped. Johnson received a great aversion as he trotted to the dressing rooms. His time of 32 min. 38 4/5 seconds was but a minute and fraction behind the American record set by Billy Kramer in the 1912 Olympic tryouts held at the Harvard stadium in Boston. He would surely have equalled, if not elapsed, this mark had he not followed the pace of Faller in the early stages of the race.
Watson's Wonderful Jumping.
Hardly less sensational than the above event was the duel in the high jump between Louis Watson, of the Alpha Physical Culture Club of New York, and Dick Landen, the intercollegiate champion. Jumping as he never did before, Watson cleared the hard faintly until it had reached six feet two inches. He missed his first trial but cleared easily on his second attempt. Long before the hat reached this height the event had resolved into
a battle between Landon and Watson. Amongst those who had been eliminated by these two crack jumpers were Egon Erickson, former national champion, and Walter Whalen, of the Boston A. A., who has many titles to his credit. Watson cleared the bar at six feet three inches on his first try, while Landon missed. On his second try, however, the collegian easily sailed over. This proved to be Watson's best for six-four he missed all three trials, while Landon, seemingly without elfrot, cleared the dizzy height easily. Rounds of applause greeted both Watson and Landon as they shook hands.
Evans Wina Half-Mile.
other colored vector in Sandy Evans, the lanks middle-distance of the Salem-Crescent A. C. Evans finished third in the second heat of this race, nosing out Larry Brown, of the University of Pennsylvania. When the final heat was called none of the other qualified entrants elected to start against Evans except Jos. T. Higgins of Fordham University, New York. Evans was satisfied to let Higgins set the pace for 600 yards, when he lengthened his stride and went out in front to win by two yards.
In the 220-yard event P. J. White, the crack sprinter from New York, failed by inches to qualify in the first heat, which was run in the last time of 21 4/5 seconds, 3/5 of a second behind the world's record. White finished third, as did Louis Watson, of the Morgan Community Club, who ran in the second heat.
The 100-yard dash saw White nosed out again in the qualifying heat, this time by another colored athlete, Edw. O. Gourdon of Harvard, Gourdon was imploded in the final heat, finishing fifth.
Thomas J. Anderson, the dependable weight thrower of the St. Christopher A. C. of New York, took third place in the 56-lb weight with a toss of 31 feet 31 inches, and fourth in the 16-lb hammer throw with a hurl of 133 feet 6 inches.
One of the disappointments of the day to the colored contingent was the running of L. Sherman, of the St. Christopher Club, and Dewey Rogers, of the headroom Club of Philadelphia. The two both drew the first and on coming out of the chute back and on coming out of the chute mile race started, failed to get into favorable position with the result that when the turn into the home stretch was reached both were pocketed. Rogers managed to sprint into fourth place about ten yards from the tape, just failing to qualify. Sherman finished sixth.
NOTES OF THE GAMES.
We were under the impression that only the athletes who qualified in the
FULTON STREET AND GRAND AVENUE, BROOKLYN
TELEPHONE PROSPECT 7424
The Lafayette Players and Beauty Chorus Direct from Brighton Beach Music Hall In George M. Cohan's Musical Hit
sectional tryouts held today would be allowed to participate in the final tryouts in Boston on July 17. Developments in today's events would seem to indicate differently. For instance, none of the men who qualified in the trial heats of the 800-yard run were compelled to run in the final heat except the two who finished third, Jos. T. Higgins and Sandy Evans. The other men would not have remained out of the final unless they had been advised to do so. Strictly speaking, then, the four who did not run in the final heat did not qualify. On inquiry, however, we were told they they were be eligible for the Boston test. This to us to be a bit of unauthorized juggery which was an injustice to the men who were compelled to run a second heat and we cannot help but wonder what would have been the action of the officials had Evans, the only colored entrant, won his heat instead of finishing third.
Quite a coincidence was the appearance on the program of three athletes by the name of Louis Watson, two colored and one white. Watson, of the Community Club of Pittsburgh, is a young sprinter who, by his form in today's games, gives promise of developing into quite a flyer at the short dashes.
Watson, the high jumper, cleared six-three for the first time in his career. He is improving every time out, and it would not surprise us to see him come through the final Olympic trials successfully.
When it became known in the stands that Johnson was the boy who had forced Charlie Pores to hang up a new record in the 5-mile run at the national championships at Chicago in 1918 there were few who still doubted the authenticity of that record. Johnson's time for the 10,000 metres was the best registered in the four sectional tryouts held on Saturday. After running away from his field in the last 600 yards he crossed the tape apparent as fresh as a daisy. There will hardly be a teeter to contest his right to first place at this distance on the Olympic team.
Quite a piece of versatility was shown by Daniel Taylor, of the Meadowbrook Club of Philadelphia. Taylor competed in the 220-yard dash, 440-yard and 880-yard runs, making a fair showing in all three.
Walter Power, the old Howard University and Alpha Physical Culture Club middle distance, took a fling at the quarter-mile, but found the pace set by the youngsters much too swift and retired at the 300-yard mark.
Ted Meredith, world's record holder at the quarter and half mile, was defeated in the first heat of the quarter mile run by Dewey Rogers, the clever, colored sprint of Penn University, who represents the Meadowbrook Club during vacatoll.
Pete White is rapidly rounding into form and should be yards faster by the time the final Olympic trials roll round.
Edw. O. Gourdin, Harvard's great allaround performer, has entered the final Olympic pentathlon tryouts to be held July 3 in Brooklyn, N. Y. Gourdin, who was unplaced in today's events, won second place in both the 100-yard dash and broad jump in the intercollegiate championships held here last month.
Ji Thomas Anderson continues to improve with the weights as he has done in the past month he will soon break up the combination of Ryan, McDonald and McGrath with the heavy missiles.
ATHLETIC NOTES.
The Olympic tryouts at Chicago saw the return to competition of Howard P Drew, world's record holder for the 100-yard dash. Drew, who pulled a
The New York Age Sends Scribe To Olympic Tryouts in Phila.
"John," Athletic Expert, Gets Detailed Account of All Colored Performers for The Age Readers.
(BY TED HOOKS)
In order to insure THE AGE readers getting first hand information on the activities of Negro athletes in the recent Olympic tryouts, THE AGE expert, John Brunson, journeyed to Philadelphia last Saturday to get a detailed account of the day's proceedings:
John" writes interestingly of the meet and the wonderful performances registered by our boys, but he fails to include in his story many of the little personal happenings which I am sure will be of interest to some of our growing list of readers.
Brunson, frankly admitted a little nervousness upon boarding the Philadelphia express, realizing the importance of his mission. Once in Philly, he was quickly whisked to Franklin Field by one of the many motor cars at the station.
John, "I was ushed to my seat at the table with the many other entries soon as the attendant read "The New York Ace" on my card."
We have seen accounts of these cases in the daily papers and none of them forth in a more vivid manner the accomplishments of the several performers than did our "John" in his article of this week.
The sending of Brunson to Philadelphia last Saturday was but following out our policy to keep our readers well informed on what our athletes are do-
"John" confesses that he received a real thrill of joy when he approached the gateman, presented his card and was courteously escorted to the press table. "Without any hesitancy," exclaimed tendon in his heat of the 100-metre event at Stockholm in 1912. flashed a remarkable come-back, finishing second in both the 100 and 220-yard dashes at Chicago. With the 100-yard left in which to train, it would not be surprising to see Drew win the 100-yard dash on the fast Harvard stadium track.
Another notable performance at Chicago was that of Sol Butler, the sturdy broad jumper of Dubuque, Iowa, who captured the long jump of the interalled games in Paris: "Butler's leap of 20 feet 9.12 inches" easily the best broad jump registered in the four sectional tryouts last Saturday.
All of the athletic fields in Greater New York will be the scenes of the usual Fourth of July athletic meets which had their inception during the regime of the late Mayor Gaynor. Every park will have one or more champion athletes competing in their favorite events, and thousands are expected to witness the games. The chairman of the city athletic committee has requested the cooperation of all athletic clubs in making these games a success. Programs will be sold and the proceeds devoted to the general fund which is to defray the expenses of the American Olympic team.
The results of the final Olympic tryouts should see at least five colored athletes on the team to defray the net amount. Jill Anthropy Butler, in the band jump, Johnson in the 10,000 metres, and Mitchell in the Marathon are practically assured of places, while Drew and White, in the sprints, Evans in the half mile, Watson in the high jump and Gourdin in the pentathlon all have excellent chances of gaining a place.
They Know The Age.
John, "I was uhhed to my tears at the table with the many other tears as soon as the attendant read 'The New York Acct' on my card." We have seen accounts of these tears in the daily papers and none of them pour forth in a more vivid manner the accomplishments of the several performers than did our "John" in his article of this week.
The sending of Brunson to Philadelphia last Saturday was but following out our policy to keep our readers well informed on what our athletes are doing. Few of the white papers announced that these boys who "John" tell so much about were Negroes. The man will be known and is the New York Acct feature. We expect to continue this feature as long as there is a reader and as long as there is The Acct
Pittsburgh has quite an aggregation of good athletes in the Morgan Community Club. In a set of games promoted by the club two weeks ago these athletes won their own point trophy, outscoring the strong Pittsburgh A. A. in the fifteen points. Earl Johnson defeated Joe Organ of the Pittsburgh A. A. in the five-mile run by half a lap. Organ, it will be remembered, finished third in the recent New York A. C. Marathon.
Hunter Johnson, coach of the Morgan Community Club, is all enthusiasm over the showing of his hard-pressed predicts a victory for his club he is able to conclude negotiations for a dual meet with the St. Christopher Club of this city in September.
By a strange fate, two members of the Salem-Crescent A. C. met with similar accidents last week. Artur Gorham and Ernest Hunter both had a leg broken while at their occupations. This is the second time within two years that Gorham has sustained such an injury, having broken his right leg above the ankle while at work on Governor's Island in 1918. Hunter received several severe wounds in the Argonne Forest while serving with the Fifteenth and was one of the members of that regiment to be debarred for bravery.
P. J. White, who has been running unattached for some time, represented the Salem-Crescent A. C. at Philadelphia on Saturday.

Following the receipt of a record-breaking entry for the second annual tournament of the Ideal Tennis Club, the players got under way last Saturday to start the series of elimination rounds to decide who the ranking players are in this season for this season.
The Ideal tournament this season includes Mei's singles, Mei's doubles and Mixed Doubles (teams made up of retired women) and Ladies' singles were named the year because so few entries were received last year for that particular event.
Play was scheduled to begin last Saturday in the first round of the singles. Few matches were played, however, on-line to the players' inability to make suitable arrangements.

POST OFFICE NEWS
WORK YOUR PLANS
Employees in the service, following the advice of Tai Aix, have planned on what they intend doing with the extra dollars that are to come to them as a result of the reclassification of post office grades. The new law begins July 1 and makes the entrance salary $1,400 per annum, which is a flat increase of $700 per year over last year's entrance salary of $1,000 and a $200 bonus granted for the last fiscal year.
A number of our men engaged in this line of government work have held down such positions for several years and in most cases where their duties have been performed satisfactorily they will go up the salary list to $1,700, $1,800 and in some few instances $1,900. All of our girls and the majority of our men are in the lower grades and are due for salaries of fourteen, fifteen and sixteen hundred dollars dating from the first of July. We venture to say that from the lowest grade, to the highest nine out of ten of the clerks are drawing large steady annual incomes than they have ever drawn before. Among the higher grade men who entered the service when salaries in private employment were awfully low, the majority are now getting more for their labor than they have ever gotten before in their lines, regardless of the line, they formerly pursued.
What Are You Going to Do With It?
With all of these men and women, few of whom do not claim more than ordinary intelligence, making more money than they have ever made before, with the majority of them coming from one certain locality. Harlem and even with those who live in other sections, coming in contact daily with the Harlemites, what united effort has been made by these employees to plan and put their increased earnings to use. The result of the advice given in past issues of the magazine, some of our readers have been kind to advise us of their individual plans. Most of our informants' ideas are commandable and we only refrain from printing them because they were given in confidence. We should like to comment on one in particular, however, coming from a clerk in 19th Street Circular Station.
To begin with this clerk mentions the $1,400 'minimum salary' as two hundred more than first-year employees formerly received. Where a clerk has performed a year's service satisfactorily and is due a promotion July 1, the increase is three hundred-making $1,500, which is just $25 per month more than the old minimum of $1,200. However, just figuring on the $200 increase, this clerk points out that it is a monthly increase of more than sixteen dollars.
"It must be admitted that some of us who are married," explains this gentleman, "need some part of that increase to keep things going properly at home, owing to the high cost of lins. It must also be borne in mind that most of us even the most conservative, are going to crave some few luxuries which we have neber before enjoyed. Yet I contend that even these two things—making ends meet at home and satisfying our craze for luxuries—should not account for the "penditure of the entire sixteen dollars each month."
"I would advise the organization of a mighty Thrift club with a branch in each of the large stations, contine the membership to men and women in the service; elect officers from our number; have each man who handles our moneyes heavily bonded; have every one who affiliates with the school one on one, pay with the school to advance dollars on the first day of each month; so arrange our constitution that no赑idends shall be paid during the first twelve months, etc.
"It takes little figuring to see the cash person would therefore lay and $60 per year. A club of this sort should get as its members every Negro in the employ of the government. Looking at the proposition none too optimistically, however, I cannot see a membership of less than one hundred. This would mean just one hundred times $00." What can't a young cooperation do with $0,000 in cash now. And with the rare possibilities that there, may be a shortage of cash in this country after a year or so, due to over speculation, what won't an organization of this sort be able to accomplish with its ready-cash coming from steady caliared members then? "I came near forgetting to mention the extra source of revenue we might expect from giving occasional entertainments and dances. By making each member responsible for ten tickets, we should always be assured of a crowd. By making our affairs annually or semi-annually we should have plenty of time to make them successful ones.
"I have delivered deeply into the matter and reached the conclusion that our overhead expense should be nil. With meetings held, but once a month and a tax of ten cents being imposed on every absence, regardless of the expense furnished, enough money should be taken up in taxes to defray the liberal charge of the community center for meeting on their premises.
"My story is long drawn out, yet I will appreciate it if you will inform your readers of my idea and get the opinions. CHARLES."

A wild rumor circulated in this station that Arthur L. Williams of Jamaica, Long Island, had said the "Great I Will" when he was abrupt one day-last week. A number of his fellow workers (not the bachelor) readily congratulated him on the strength of the rumor. Upon inquiry at Hudson Terminal, where it is reported Mr. Williams' interest is centered, we learnt that everything was normal. We take it for granted therefore that Dame Rumor is wrong again.
