Pursuant, supposedly, to this plan a financial adviser for Haiti was appointed in the person of Mr John Avery Mellhemny. Who is, Mr. Mellhemny. That he has the central backing and direction of so able a minister as Mr. Farnham is contesting herein one review the past record and experience in manner of Haiti's financial adviser as given by him in "Who's Who in America," for 1918-1919. He was born in Avery Island, Berta Parish, Louisiana to Tulane University for one year was a private in the Louisiana State militia for two years, trooper in the U.S. Cavalry in 1898; promoted to second lieutenant for gallantry in action at San Juan; has been member of the Louisiana House of Representatives and Senate; was a member of the U.S. Civil Service Commission in 1909 and president of the same in 1913; Democrat. It is under his financial adviser that the Haitian interest has been continued in default, with the one exception above noted, when several months ago $30,000,000 was converted into francs to the accumulated interest payment on the foreign debt. Disatisfaction on the part of the Haitians developed over the lack of financial perspicacity in this transaction of Mr. Mellhemny because the sum was converted into francs at the rate of nine to a dollar while shortly after the rate of exchange on French francs dropped to fourteen to a dollar. Instead, Mr. Mellhemny's unfitness by training and experience for the delicate and important position which he is filling was one of the most generally admitted facts which I gathered in Haiti. At the present writing, however, Mr. Mellhenny has become a conscious figure in the history of the Occupation of Haiti as the instrument by which the National City Bank is striving to complete the vetting, double locking and bolting of its financial control of the island. For although it would appear that the absolute military domination under which Haiti is held would trouble the financial powers to accomplish almost anything they desire they are were enough to realize that a day of reckoning, for instance, a change in the Administration of the United States may be coming. So they are eager and anxious, to have everything signed, sealed and delivered. Another of course that the Haitians have fully "conceded to" no else can reasonably object to. Holding Up the Budget. A little recent history: in February of the present year, the ministers of the different departments, in order to conform to the letter of the law (Article 116 of the Constitution of Haiti, which was saddled upon her in 1918 by the Occupation * (see note 3 at end) and article 2 of the Haitian-American Convention (see note 4 at end) began work on the draft of the budget for 1918-1919 and the budget of 1920-1921. On March 22 a draft of the budget was sent to Mr. A. J. Maumus, acting financial adviser, in the absence of Mr. McMullen who had at that time been NEW YORK, N.

Oct. 2-31 in the United States for seven months Mr. Maumus replied on March 29, suggesting postponement of all discussion of the budget until Mr. McIlhenny's return. Nevertheless, the legislative body in the pursuance of the law, opened on its constitutional date, Monday, April 5. Despite the great urgency of the matter in hand, the Haitian administration was obliged to mark time until June 1, when Mr. McIlhenny returned to Haiti. Several conferences with the various ministers were then undertaken. On June 12, at one of these conferences, there arrived in the place of the financial adviser a note stating that he would be obliged to stop all study of the budget "until the time when certain affairs of considerable importance to the well-being of the country shall be finally settled according to recommendations made by the Haitian Government." As he did not give his name, this idea what these important affairs with the Haitian Secretary wrote asking for information, at the same time calling attention to the already great and embarrassing delay, and reminding Mr. McIlhenny that the preparation of the accounts and budget was one of his legal duties as an official attached to the Haitian Government, of which he could not divest himself, On July 19 Mr. McIlhenny supplied 15 previous emission in a memorandum which he transmitted to the Haitian Department of Finance, in which he said: "I had instruction from the Department of State of the United States just before my departure for Haiti, in a part of a letter of May 20, to declare to the Haitian Government that it was necessary to give its immediate and formal approval to; 1. A modification of the bank contract agreed upon by the Department of State and the National City Bank of New York. 2. Transfer of the National Bank of the Republic of Haiti to a new bank registered under the laws of Haiti, to be known as the National Bank of the Republic of Haiti. 3. The execution of Article 15 of the Contract of Withdrawal prohibiting the importation and exportation of non-Haitian money except that which might be necessary for the needs of commerce in the opinion of the Financial Adviser." Why Pressure Was Applied. Now, what is the meaning and significance of these questions? The details have not been given out, but it is known that they are part of a new monetary law for Haiti involving the complete transfer of the Banque Nationale de Haiti to the National City Bank of New York. The document embodies the agreements, with the exception of the clause prohibiting the importation of foreign money, was signed at Washington, February 6, 1920, by Mr Melliehne, the Haitian Minister at Washington and the Haitian Secretary of Finance. He has declared that the clause prohibiting the importation and expropriation of foreign money, except as it may be deemed necessary in the opinion of the financial adviser, was added to the original agreement by some uninformed party. It is for the purpose of complying with the Haitian Government to approve the agreements, including the "prohibition clause", that pressure is now being applied. Efforts on the part of business interests in Haiti to learn the character and scope of what was done at Washington to have been thwarted by close secrecy. However, sufficient of its import has become known to understand the reasons for the unqualified and definite refusal of President Dartagnacov and the Government to give approval. The reasons would give to the National City Bank of Haiti and the city to the National City Bank of New York, exclusive monopoly upon the right of importing and exporting American and other foreign money to and from Haiti, a monopoly which would carry unprecedented and extraordinarily lucrative privilege. The proposal involved in this agreement has called for a vigorous priest on the part of every important banking and business, concern in Haiti with the exception of course of the National Bank of Haiti. This protest was transmitted to the Haitian Minister of Finance on July 30 past. The protest is signed not only by Haitians and Europeans doing business in that country but also by the leading American business concerns among which are The American Foreign Banking Corporation, The Haitian American Sugar Company, The Panama Railroad Steamship Line, The Cycle Steamship Line, and The West Indies Trading Company. Among the foreign signers are the Royal Bank of Canada, Le Compoir Français, Le Compoir Commercial, and besides a number of business firms. We have now in Haiti a triangular situation with the National City Bank and our Department of State in two countries and the Haitian government in the third. Pressure is being brought on the Haitian government to compel it to grant a monarchy which on its face appears designed to give the National City Bank a strangle hold on the financial life of that country. With the Haitian government refusing to yield, we have the financial adviser who Little Rock, Ark.-The split in the Republican party which has resulted in the nomination of J. H. Blount, Negro, as an independent candidate for governor has created a situation that will bear watching during the present campaign, according to local Democrats. It is not probable, but it is possible, that if the Negroes organize for their candidate and if the Democrats remain away from the poles, the Negro men and women of the state can roll up a bigger majority than the Democrats at the general election. This can be made possible, it is said, through the well known primary of the Democrats during the general election and through complete organization of the Negroes. Nomination in the Democratic primary in Arkansas has always been considered equivalent to election in November because there is never anything like a close race between Republicans and Democratic candidates. This situation has brought about an indifference of Democrats about voting in the general election.

VIRGINIA NEGRO BOYS RAISE GOOD FARM CROPS (Special to Tus New York Am.) Hampton, Va.—Members of the Virginia Negro Farm Makers' Clubs, who have been working under the supervision of colored county agents, wilt have on display at the State Fair about 1,000 exhibits in a special building, 40 by 28 feet. Last year only one corner of a building was occupied by similar exhibits. Colored has been most successfully and profitably grown by colored boys, ranging from 10 to 17 years of age. Some twenty-five Virginia counties will be represented. There will also be exhibits of colored boys' work in growing soy beans, potatoes and peanuts. Photographs will illustrate the wide range of club work among colored boys. The story of Joe Williams of Emporia, Va., who produced 201 bushels of corn on a single acre, shows the growing interest of colored boys in attending colored boys' club, conducted as a part of the regular Virginia club work for boys. Joe Williams, a colored boy at 13 years of age, living in Greenville County, learned how to secure a large yield of corn from a well-made seedbed, into which he had put carefully selected seed and on which he had expended careful cultivation. During two years Joe Williams was the champion of the local colored Farm Makers' Club. A. E. MALONE. NEGRO. ON STATE COMMITTEE A. E. Malone, 4300 St. Ferdinand avenue, president of Poro College, yesterday was appointed by State Chairman J.G. Hughes as a member of the Exec- tive Committee of the Republican State Committee. He is recommended for appointment by members of the Republican city organization. Other members of the Executive Committee were announced by Huges September 14 at the platform meeting at Jefferson City. Lincoln University Opens LAS VEGAS UNIVERSITY, Ps. With many well-prepared men being refused admission for lack of room, Lincoln University has opened its fall term with an entering class of 80, the largest in its history. These men, who come from all parts of the country, from Porto Rico to Los Angeles, are without exception graduates of a four year high school course or its equivalent. They are a likely bunch of men. Coach J. 1, Dollard, with the assistance of former Captain Ira Bird, of Philadelphia, is driving the football team hard in preparation for an unusually heavy schedule this season. The schedule includes the following games: October 23, Morgan College at Lincoln; October 30, Shaw University at Philadelphia; November 6, Hampton Institute at Hampton; November 13, Willforce University at Pittsburgh; November 25, Howard University at Washington. Plans are being drawn for an ornamental alumni gate or archway to be erected at the entrance of the campus in honor of the Lincoln men who served in the war. Lewis A. Eaton, of Harrisburg, has been added to the faculty as instructor in chemistry. didate, in protest against the alleged unfairness of the Republican party leaders in grabbing honors and offers for white Republicans and leaving the Negro members of the party out in the cold. It is an inter-party contest, they allege, and they are organizing to make a demonstration of their strength in revenge upon the aforementioned Republican party leaders. Through the Inter-Racial Commission, and other sources, it is learned that the Negroes in all parts of the state are organizing, as they have never organized before, in behalf of Blount. An instance of this is the action of the Negro Republiec "The Republican County Central Committee of Phillips County" and, urged the members of their race and while Republicans opposed to "Lilly Whitism" to cast their votes for L. Blount. Protest Against Lily Whites. The committee urged "every Republican in Phillips county" to register a protest against the action of the "Lily Whites" at the state convention by voting for Blount, Harding and Coulidge were endorsed, but as a protest against the action of the "Lily Whites" in the Congressional convention Republicans were urged either to vote for J. W. Driver, Democratic nominee, or to refrain from voting for congressman. The committee also began raising funds in Phillips county in behalf of Hloom for governor. PUBLIC SCHOOL CLASS FOR NIGHT WORKERS Hitherto the city educational system has furnished only day schools for children and night schools for grownups who work by day. But the men and women who work at night, and the housewives whose duties keep them home at night have not been provided for. The Board of Education now offers classes in American and English government under licensed instructors free of charge to all housewives and night workers. Special provision has been made to teach English to the foreign born. Required attendance has been refunded to one hour a day for four days of the week, and two hours a day for two days a week; and these hours may be arranged largely at the companies of the student. There are no restrictions of age, or sex or degree of learning. Housewives and night workers desiring this mutilation must register at once in person or by mail at any of the following places: Principal's office, P. S. 89 Lenox avenue and 129th st.; Y. M. C.

The bank has introduced many new features, it is open every night for the accommodation of working people; it has a special mail order department and receives deposits from various parts of the country; it has a department of tree financial advice and gives advice on investments, etc. to our people in all of country. A building costing $22,000 has been purchased at 19th and South streets, in the heart of the colored business district and fitted up at a cost of over $5,000, with a modern banking equip- ment. Among those interested are Bishop W. H. Heard of the A. M. E. Church, Dr. L. G. Jordan, and several local business men. NEW JERSEY VOTERS. October 12 will be the last day on which New Jersey voters can qualify. All who failed to register on September 28 in the primaries will be given the final opportunity to register on September 29. What is Shown by The Registration First Two Days Show Decided Increase in Number Qualifying A Tour of Registration Booths in Manhattan and Brooklyn Indicates That the Colored Woman Voter is Not Asleep Tuesday night at 10:30 o'clock, when the registration books had been open two days, the indications were that the colored women voters, mostly registering as Republicans, were giving the men a tight race. Although New York women had the ballot before the Nineteenth Amendment, to the Constitution was passed, there was not the amount of interest exhibited in previous elections as now. The actuality of National Woman's Suffrage naturally has much to do with this, but there is an undercurrent which seems to show that the women, especially the colored women, are determined to do all in their power to rid the country of the evils wrought by Wilsonism and the Democratic party.

Tom Hardwick told his hearers that "with the help and cooperation of Tom York the bikes are open every night this week from 5 to 10:20 o'clock, save Saturday, when they are open from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Outside of Greater New York the bikes are open Friday and Saturday of this week, and Friday and Saturday of next week, October 15 and 16. In New Jersey the last opportunity will be given on October 12, Columbus Day. Women's Influence Shown. The influence of women in the forthcoming election is shown by developments all over the country. Even in Georgia where oldline Democrats are fighting with their backs to the wall to prevent the state's domination by the two Tom Tom Hardwick and Tom Watson the candidate for governor, Hardwick, is using the Negro women vote as a tool with which to beat the Negro tracing Democrats into his camp. He is telling Watson and Hoke Smith, we disillusioned the Negro men and the same job must be done over again as far as the Negro women are concerned." This statement was made in his right on the opposing candidates who are supported by the Atlanta Constitution and several other influential papers in the state. It remains to be seen whether the women will be able to the Hardwick-Watson-Hoke Smith program. Jersey Women First to Polls Overt in Jersey City many women are compared their husbands to the polls to vote on September 28, and it is declared that the success of the Garvey ticket was due largely to the support given the regular Republicans by the colored women. Many of them were first to the polls, it is said. Another report coming from Jersey City is to the effect that colored women have organized a permanent body, with the Rev. Florence Randall as state chairman of the Hudson County Colored Republican Women Voters. Indications of Interest. The unusual interest shown, both by the colored men and the colored women, is probably due to one thing—the need to show sufficient strength to secure a more substantial consideration from the powers that be. Letters published in the last two issues of Tart New York, Aa, from representative colored men in all walks of life show consistently that the race's only hope is in the Republican party, and this the colored men and women of Greater New York are building upon through their active participation in the present Presidential campaign.

The trouble is at Washington-it is the present Democratic administration. The eight years of Democratic administration. The eight years of Democratic administration. Substituting plattitude for policy and promise for action has made the parallels of our government complete. The Republicans are confronted by a task and an opportunity. The task is to annihilate the Democrats, the opportunity is your votes at the polls. It is not enough to displace your political record. Rogers must be translated into votes." COLORED BIG SISTER CLUB IS INCORPORATED The Colored Big Sister Club of Brooklyn, incorporated, is the new title of this splendid organization of Brooklyn women, papers of incorporation having been taken out on September 10, 1929. The following is the staff of officers: Mrs. Wm F. Trottman, president; Mrs. E. A. Mars, vice president; Mrs. Mary Dorsey, treasurer; Mrs. Jerome B. Peterson, secretary; Mrs. M. R. Lyons, chairman of the executive committee. Under its charter the club is taking up two distinct lines of social work, preventive and delinquent. The preventive work is divided into two branches, one a recreation center under management of a trained worker, which is attended by eighty-five girls from B to G p.m., and public school work, which consists in reviewing reports of troubleome children from principals of schools, and then interviewing their parents. This branch is looked after by the president, Mrs Trottman. The delinquent work is also a two section division, one, under Mrs. E. A. Mars, caring for unmarried mothers under suspices of the Church Mission and the other, under Mrs. J. B. M. McLeod, looking after cases from the night shift. During the past year more than two hundred school children, unmarried mothers and intermittent women were cared for by the Big Sister Club. The Colored Big Sister Club of Brooklyn that through its others is making an effort to interest more women in its work, and to secure additional funds with which to carry on the work. EEN IT YET!

Men's troubles are bad enough, but women's are worse. Worry makes women sick. It pulls them down, and in their weakened condition they are subject to pains, ache, weakness, backaches, headaches and dizzy spells. Most women neglect their health, and for this they pay the penalty. Any woman will find that neglect does not pay. A little more attention to health would brighten up her life. If she asks her neighbors she finds that Dr. Pierce's favorite Prescription benefits a woman's whole system. It not only acts upon the troubles and weaknesses peculiar to women, but is an all-round tonic that braces the entire body, overcoming nervousness, sleepeasness, headaches, dizziness and a run-down condition. BINGHAMTON, N. Y. — "Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best medicine I have ever taken for the nerves and a run-down system. I took the 'Prescription' and found it very beneficial in building up my nerves and my whole system. My general health was so much better after taking it that I can recommend it as a excellent woman's tonic." — MRS. MINNIE ASHMAN, 5 Elm St. "NEW LIGHT ON THE NEGRO PROBLEM" By H. J.

BROADENING THE "Y" WORK Too much cannot be said in praise of the work accomplished under the auspices of the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations. In the various cities and towns all over the country where branches have been established, they have proved rallying points to the improving of the youth of the community. The building of the men's, moral and physical system of those reached through this agency has been gratifying. With so much that is good already accomplished, there seems to be greater reason why these two useful organizations should widen their scope and extend their usefulness in the community where they exist. The turnup of a committal in the young man or young woman stranger should be put in a reader base, especially as to the after effect. There is no good reason why a young person or other sex, stranded and troubled, should be turned away from the portals of one or two branches into the adult, and should take refuge in the new and improved things here for the benefit of all. Let the mind be both of the pure omnivore and of the pure chief of the mind. In the chief of the mind, the mind introduces itself to the world. But the world huge be interested in to examine the true Christian spirit of welcome and efficiency, both spiritual and material, as may be appropriate. In the moment these charges, with he responsibility of conducting the great work should watch their steps, as well is the walk and conversation of those committed to their care. LYNCHING AND RELIGION LYNCHING AND RELIGION The Bishop, Ralph, is a weaker religious publication located at Baldach, and known as the organ of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina. In a recent issue it contained an article on Lynching and the Negro Problem, by Victor I. Masters, Superintendent of Publicity. The article starts out with the somewhat astonishing assumption for a white southerner, even it is a Parish, that there is valid excuse for Lynching. To offset the effect of this article "The apist deserves to die." But even this is not intended to justify Lynching, as the writer continues. "Very well. Since alma has it been difficult to secure a conviction in the courts against a Negro rapist? Nothing is easier. As a matter of fact, about three fourths of the Lynchings are for other reasons than that of attacks on women." This makes it appear if the Baptist writer realized something of the enormity of the crime that has settled upon the South like the Old Man of the Sea. After a rather savage reference to the "new and dangerous radical leadership among the Negroes," the writer says that there is only one way to battle the Negro problem "the way to Jesus Christ." He says that white Baptists participate have an obligation and love. The solution of the problem is to be more in the hands of the white and Negro preacher than of any other class. He urges: "Let us not despise our opportunity! In civil matters, justice, in economic matters, a stray and square deal; in matters of race welfare, goodwill and helpfulness; in our criminal counts and jury finding, the same law for two colors of skin. For the two rates, far different in their origin and appertions, must live together here in the South, and yet remain socially separate." "This all sounds genuine enough and if such doctrines were convincingly and consistently preached to the white congregations of the South it might be that such teachings would have some practical result. But the writer shows that his confidence in the continuity of the religion practiced by those to whom he appeals is not over strong, when he says: "The Negro has accepted our religion, the best thing we had to give him. It will save him, unless we in our greater race strength, show him that it has not strong hold enough on us to save us from injustice and unbrotherly suspicion toward the black man, who for latter or for worse must ever live by our side everywhere through the South." This is precisely what past events have demonstrated, that the religion of the whites of the South has not had a strong enough hold upon them to save them from racial injustice and its horde of attendant evils. Before religion can be expected to effect a change in the sentiment of the masses of Southern whites, there must be a spiritual rejuval that must be genuine. No more emotional unpleasant that spends itself in singing hymns, and listening to popular exhortations, but a true change of heart that shall manifest itself in true resistance and righteous living. Then and only then may we hope to see the rare problem settled in "the way of Jesus Christ." If Mr. Masters' artifact will inspire the bringing about of such a revival through the instrumentality of the Epiphany preachers of both rests, it will not have been written in vain. Let Brother Masters continue his efforts to get the white Christians of the South alive to their duty in these matters. THE SAME OLD SOUTH A few disgruntled politicians, and preachers of the race profess to see so little difference between Republican and Democratic policies, so far as the Nato is concerned, that they go so far as to advocate the support of Governor Kenyari for the Presidency, for the reason that it will be a rebuke to those Republicans who have been false to the principles of the party. The trouble with the kind of argument to that a involve the acceptance of a greater call toauto a lesser one. The codex and support of Governor Cox means he retention in the saddle of the cold South, with its so-called policy of the dehumanization and disenfranchishment of the Negro. The South is the dominating factor in the Democratic party, and so far as the Negro is concerned it remains the same old South that it has been for the past half century. Hardness of this is furnished in almost every Southern State in the position taken on the Nineteenth Amendment, instead of accepting women in suffrage as controlled by the constitutional amendments as the law of the land, applicable to women of all races, the political status of the South are prepared to defiance the Negro women, as they have done the men of race. Senator Hardwick, who will probably be the next governor of Georgia, boldly asserted that the criminal intention in a peace made before him, constituents at the Wake County courthouse, when he and that he had helped make it unlikely that Negro men to vote in Georgia, and that he was ready to help lead the effort to bring the Negro women out of Hoke County. "He is one of the most important states that will allow the next legislative session. With the help and cooperation of Tom Watson and Hoke Smith, we thanked the Negro men and the same must be done over again as far as the Negro women are concerned." That Hardwick and Watson represent the prevailing white public opinion of their State, to be gathered from the fact that they polled the largest number of voters in the recent Democratic primaries, completely overwhitelining the more decent element of the party. That similar efforts to "handle the Negro woman vote" will be attempted in other parts of the solid South is shown by letters received from individuals in other health care. For instance a correspondent in Norfolk, Va., wrote: "Our cohort of women who attempt to register best to stand an examination that requires a pretty intimate knowledge of local politics, state and national affairs and civil government, while some who were mistaken for white were not even questioned. Of course, that discrimination will, in the long run, make our women far better qualified as voters and citizens." Another correspondent sends us the inquiry from a town in North Carolina. "I am interested in the matter of registration and I want to know whether the Negroes in North Carolina are entitled to registration or not. The whites will tell in thing and the non-people could not know much." We can only say to this minister that the Negroes are entitled to register under the same qualifications as whites. If a poll tax is necessary for registration, as we think it is that those the Negro must pay his tax come to the whites and must pay the tax requirement of the law as to age and length of residence in his district. From the indication shown there is a renewed awakening of the power. THE NEW YORK AGE. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 9. 1920 race in the South to the importance of the ballot, and strenuous efforts will be made to exercite it. Both of the part of thereq and theen. "It is no time for the Negroes to the North to encourage such efforts by voting for a continuance in power of the Hoke Smiths and the Tom hardwicks, through the support of Governor Cas for President. Rather should they unite their efforts to put true republicans on guard, with the unavowed purpose of enforcing the Constitution, with all of its amendments, in all sections of the country. A vote for Harding and Coolidge is a vote against Hardwick and Tom Watson, and Hoke Smith. ```markdown ``` WOMEN IN THE CAMPAIGN Much has been said and written as to the part that the women of this country are playing, in he be present political campaign, but it took a woman campaign speaker to put the responsibility for winning a Republican victory squarely up to the women voters. This was done by Mrs. Mary Hatch Willard last week in an address to a group of the new voters at the Vanderbilt Hotel headquarters. Mrs. Willard warned her hearers that unless individual campaigns of work and "tap" were started, they were not going to win out. She added: "There is no excuse today that is going to be accepted from the woman who will not work for her party and her candidates. The parlor meetings are to be carried into the home by the cook. We are going to sit by their sides and talk to them about politics." A plan has been outlined by the Women's Republican State Executive Committee for forming groups of five women and then sub groups until the entire city is divided into these groups. Each leader of a group becomes personally responsible to the Republican committee for her five members until they cast their votes. As the speaker out it, the candidate must see that her group of five enroll, register and vote and understand all the details necessary to the exercise of these duties of citizenship, so recently acquired by them. Another speaker declared that the drawing room and the treasure are two places where home political meetings are most needed. She argued that the very rich and the very poor women have as a rule little time or desire to attend large political meetings. House to house meetings on the avenue and in the side streets were offered as the means to teach and interest these two extremes of society. The alert interest of the attendants at this meeting, among whom were several representatives of the women of the race, showed a determination on their part to put the plan suggested into practical operation. The need for immediate and effective work in getting the women voters to register and cast their ballots is undisputed. That the women themselves require the situation and are taking active measures to cope with it is gratifying. Let them rally in groups of five and show their sisters how to register and vote for Harding and Coulledge. This can be effectively done on the last two registration days in New York city, Oct. 8 and 9 and in New Jersey on Oct. 12. SENATOR HARDING ON SOCIAL HISTICE The obeissance of "Woman's Day" last week at Marton, Ohio, was the occasion of a notable promembrance by female hawking, in peaking to an audience of the crowd and women, the Republic in candidate for the President talked about "Social Justice" and advocated the creation of a new department of government, with a repute oustage in the Cabinet, to be known as the Secretary of Public Welfare. The purpose of the department is to lend by the president of the www to www to include the many reasons that social welfare requires. Among the reasons is the better protection of motherhood, the lightening of women's public government and its prenatal care and in infancy the prevention of abuse in child labor, national health generally and the coordination of the various social welfare bureaucies and undertaking, now scattered through the existing departments, and working at odds with one another. It was suggested that a woman may be allowed to administer the new department. The web proud influence on American development that such a department would ever may be gathered by the following expression of the candidate into the duty and importance of social justice. Among other things he said: "I believe that none of us can be safe and happy or teach our most growth until we have done our utmost to see that all Americans are safe. I believe that if a wise God index and a starry sky tell us how to be safe, secure and blinded that it shall become of no consequence to America. "The best social welfare society in the World is the man or woman who lives independently and does the task well will be the most cared for or doing, the best able to the sum total of human acomplishment." more confidence in creating a Federal department of public welfare. When making the proposal for a department of public welfare to America I am aware that I have made a step in advance of any platform. I have chosen to speak to you on the practical question—the question of how to do the tasks we must do, the things American conscience is calling to have done." The enthusiasm aroused among the women present by this proposition of Senator Harding's may be gauged by the comment of one of the leaders; that the new department outlined "is one of the greatest moral steps forward since Lincoln signed the Proclamation of Emancipation." No group in America can be more anxious for the coping of social justice than the Negro. No group has suffered more from the lack of that sentiment. There can be no social justice unless the Negro is part and parcel of it. Let us help alert Harding and Cookidge and give the plan of social justice a tair foul.

As a matter of fact, Attica is not only dominated by the great European powers under the guise of man-destroyers and protectorates, but it has a serious assortment of native rulers, whose power have been restricted from time to time, through the progressive erotic imbiments of the white man's sphere of influence. Outside of Albany where the successor of King Mendix still holds sway under the ancient native title 'Neum', but little real power is exercised by these native rulers. Nevertheless, they have a strong hold on the affections of their people and exert no little influence on their combat in civil and political affairs. An example of this was furnished by an article in the Lagos weekly Keyd, giving an account of a large meeting summoned by the Prince Eleko some months ago, at which both the Mohammadmoon community and the Pagan element were present. The closeness of the relations between the native rulers and their people may be gathered from the tenor of the remarks with which the Prince showed his authority. He concluded as follows: "I am your Prince, whether you be Christian, Mohammadunid of Pagan. I am your head and this Husband is the crown of you all, but you must not retract your religious deputy to me any more from today. It is not within the area of my privilege to interfere with a question purely at the request of the religious autonomy of the communities, whether Christian, Mohammadunid or Pagan, but if the situation is political that is within the area of my privilege and in that situation I am to be liable to the Government. Should a person of your choice be bring to me for my recognition any of its object or other after they are duly elected by that section. I call signify my approval in accordance with my hereditary rights." When are we satisfied that they are hundred and perhaps then able to motivate others like the above, we expect their leadership rights with the consent of their people and the approval of the mandatory power, the tutility of electors a trusted president for Africa become executive. In view of the increasing power and progress of the natives in Africa, and the ability manifested by the native leaders, such action on the part of those removed the thousands of miles away, becomes an imperative. If a professional president is appointed to the redemption of Africa, her native sons can be related upon to provide assistance at the proper time. Africa has the material for real rules. The cannot be fooled by the spurious articles. It is announced that Prof George W. Carver of Duke University will be at the South Carolina State Fair at Columbia on Nov. 3 to show the farmers how to live and make money in spite of the half weed and the low price of cotton. He will also have a sweet potato exhibit and will explain the possibilities of the permit. This will give the farmers of South Carolina an exceptional opportunity to acquire up to date methods of practical benefit. The Columba Standard says that "with the advoy of woman suffrage, which ultimately means universal suffrage," the Union Republican party in North Carolina holds organization. It describes that the United State convention should clear a pointed man as State chairman on the ground that Mr. Tolkien, the present chairman "is not removed now," the situation is in the hands of the Republican voters through Carolina.

Here dwell the Steres, noted merchants of town, New York; the souls, raised railroad Edison, Edison "wizard of Menlo Park"; and Mine, Leila Walker Wilson, daughter of Madam C. J. Walker of hair dressing fame. At the Walker mansion, a secretary showed me about the building, which is famous the country over at the finest home owned by a member of the race. Down near the station on the front street I found another colored family, the Egglestorm, who had been in Irvington four years. "When we first came here from Tarrytown, explained Mrs. Egglestorm, "it was hard" for us to get used to the place, but we like it fine now. I have worked for the leading white people and find them to be very nice. When I opened my laundry (which I now operate with the assistance of five women) I immediately got acquainted. It seems that all the white people want to know if you are reliable and they will trust me. "There are only four colored families in Irvington now—not enough to support a church. My children are the only colored ones in school and they find the other children very nice." One up in the river is the home of Washington Irving, in whose memory the town is named. Cannot Grow. At the Station I met a young white man who had formerly been an employee in the village. In response to my questions he said: "This is West Chester county. The population of the town is about 2,500. It will never get any larger." With a wave of the hand he pointed North, South, East and West declaring, "A rich man owns a large estate over there, another over there and saying: "If the United States cannot present segregation in its own service we are not in any sense a democracy." This declaration was made to representatives of the National Equal Rights League, including Wm. Monroe Troeter, national executive secretary. As the League others, after the interview, and they would support Harding, it is evident that President Wilson has lost another of his former supporters. The American Baptist notes that Prof. W. J. Harvey of Memphis, Tenn., who has been in the Railway Mail Service for thirty years was retired on a pension recently. This is one of the first cases we have not noticed under the new retirement law passed at the last session of Congress. Its workings will be watched with interest. The boast of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democratic candidate for Vice Presidency, that he wrote the constitution of Haiti, moved Phil H. Brown to perpetrate the following verses in the Satire Grade Notes: So it was he, This Franklin D. The man with big relations Franklin D. King's Navar Who caused the League of Nations, He saw the League Gave us tangle And sorry did people us, Our lack of votes, Made us the goats. For England to annex us, He packed his grip And took a trip Down in the Antilles, To try the text of Arthle N. The head of great Ashille Ave. to Harn West Franklin D. To compilh the solution And get one vote The day he wrote The coming Constitution. This might be taken as an example of making the punishment for the crime. Says the Atlanta Independent: "A vote for Cox means a vote against the rights of Norris, in the south." Right you are, that is what we have maintained all along. As a tangible evidence of an awakened conscience and a determination to deal fairly and squarily with the underlying causes of racial differences, the Oaklanda City Black Dispatch noted the following incident at a race conference held at the Star capital: With a voice quivering and shaking with emotion, General T. D Turner pioneer of Oklahoma, stood in the Senate Chamber. Third day evening and denounced him Crown and mob violence with a fervor and righteous indignation that was gripping and compelling "You haven't the protection that slaves in this country once had," shouted the General "You have a right to complain and there is only one answer to the question of ADJUSTMENT, and that is to give the Negro all of his rights." General Turner is a former confederate General, 72 years old. Now, let Oklahoma take some taggable steps toward preventing the lynching and mob violence, which made the holding of the conference necessary. But He Gets No Praise. Learned for lying abel late, the farmer's boy promised that in future he would "be up with the lark." The next morning the old farmer came in from his milking and found his son sitting on the stile and singing as blithe as though there was no such thing as work. "Why you young racecult" said the ex-racer rated her; this is worse than deep. What it can mean is beating on the stile and singing at the top of your voice. The last argument: "Why, did you told me to be like the lark, and that all he does when he gets up early?" humbush. (Q) Discuss another over there, and of course the Hudson basks it here. They have it all hedged in. A few millionaires own it and they won't build any more houses and won't anybody else build. He came in 1906 and it has been the same ever since." I mentioned the colored family I had just met, and he said: "Oh, yes, Alex is a fine fellow. When I worked here I drove a truck for an express company and at night we would all get together and have a jolly good time. Good drinks were here then and the town was lively. "There is another colored fellow here who works for a rich family. He is from the South and when he first came he thought he couldn't stay under any circumstance. We got him broke in with us and now you can't drive him away. He went down South on a vacation and when he returned he said he couldn't get back fast enough. "Mine. Walker has some house up on the hill. It cost her a pile of money too—one of the finest in town. I hauled her organ out for the express company. It came up from New York in thirty-five pieces. Gee, I would like to hear it played." On the whole I found it, a quiet, peaceful place, best adapted to the end it serves—a place for complete relaxation from the strenuous duties of a business life. PREACHER DISCOVERS SEX RELATION A New Jersey preacher says that dancing is of the Devil, and to "prove" it, he make the very simple proposition that if men and women were required to dance separately, men only with men, and women only with women, there would be less dancing and less interest in it. I have often wondered at the mental agility of many preachers, but this white man of New Jersey beats the whole bunch—with the possible exception of Billy Sunday, who I think, made this same remarkable discovery some time ago. Now, dancing may be of the Devil, for all we care in this discussion—but what were are dealing with here is the absolutely irrelevant proposition by which this preacher seeks to prove it. Is everything of the Devil in which men and women show interest in the opposite sex than in their own sex? If that be so, then what is there in this world that is NOT of the Devil? The HOME, of which we boast and on which we have our whole structure of society, is most assuredly of the Devil—by that rule. Let me apply this rule and make a few more discoveries for this preacher of the gospel. There would be less interest in church socials, if men and women held them separately. In this very preacher's congregation there would be fewer men and fewer women, and fewer young people than is probably the case now, if he held separate services for men and women. He says there would be less dances, if men and women danced only in their own clubs, under similar requirements, perhaps there would be a smaller Sunday School attendance, and there would certainly be fewer homes, and practically no weddings. Weddings, then, are the of the Devil, for unless there were a woman in it, you could never get a real man in it. And you might go right on through the list for this preacher has touched the mightiest motive power of Human society. There would literally be fewer and less of everything; fewer parties; fewer parks; and certainly fewer strolls in parks; fewer church picnics and practically no church weddings; fewer more preachers, fewer sermons, and much fewer pews. The first man Adam, and the first woman Eve, discovered all this long before New Jersey was settled as a colony. New York City. WM. PICKENS. PROTECTING BASEBALL GAMBLING It is as James W. Johnson says we are a very sentimental nation. We must now make baseball gambling "clean". It is well known that all gambling is painy and that all gamblers are rogues, but it seems that one set of the rogues beat the others stealing the money put up on ball ball games. Now all sorts of legislation is proposed to prevent this human thing. Even Nicholas Longworth, member of congress, proposes a national law to "protect" those who may just suffer injuries. We never before heard of so many champions to protect the really innocent. Last year about fourteen human beings, some of them exosiders of the nation, and all of them current, were burned in the United States, without causing half the imagination that has been caused by one set of gamblers in getting the better of another set. It is certainly not wrong to present these criminals of the base ball bleachers, but when this comparison is made, the thung seems perfectly silly. We wonder at the inconsistencies of barbarian and Medievalism, while we show the same inconsistency of life and legate. Just think of congress legislating and agonizing on clean baseball, while Mississippi and Georgia are on the map of the United States with their horrible and continuous records of the murder and torture of men! I want more uncivilized and displeasant to one set of genders to cheat the other than for a gang of thugs and criminals to change the innocent and burn the accused alive? Suppose the Greeks or the Romans had done this, or anything like this—how we would wonder at and philosophize over their extraordinary hegemony and inconsistencies? Suppose we had a picture of the Roman Senate in ancient liberation as to how to prevent a gladiator from stabbing another without the proper couette, while just outside the Senate House a gang of Roman thugs were beheading Paul, castigating Peter and murdering other members of the Jewish race, and with the tacit approval of many and the brazenly expressed approval of many of those very Senators. What a picture this would be to us: Christians, hopelessness of 'heathen civilization'. Will it ever occur to Nicholas Longworth and the others that the protection of American citizens in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, is of at least as much importance as the protection of a few outwitted gamblers, in the pursuit of dollars? WM. PICKENS. New York City. TEN REASONS WHY COLORED PEOPLE, SHOULD VOTE, THE REPUBLICAN TICKET THIS FALL SENATOR HARDING Extracts from the acceptance speech of the Republican N. for President, Senator War Harding, delivered at Madison on April 22, 1920: "I believe the federal government should give its effective aid in solving the problem of ample and becoming housing of its citizenship." "I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battlefields of the republic have entailed them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and all that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands. "I believe in law enforcement. If elected I mean to be a constitutional president, and it is impossible to ignore the constitution unthinkable to evade the law when our every committal is to order government. People ever will differ about the wisdom of the enactment of a law—there is divided opinion respecting the eighteenth amendment and the laws enacted to make it operative—but there can be no difference of opinion about honest law enforcement. "Neither government nor parlay can afford to cheat the American people. The laws of congress must harmonize with the constitution, else they soon are adjudged to be void; congress enact the laws, and the executive branch of government is charged with enforcement. We can not nullify because of divided opinion, we cannot jeopardize orderly government with contempt for law enforcement. Modification or repeal is the right of a free people, whenever the deliberate and intelligent public sentiment commands, but perversion and evasion mark the paths to the failure of government itself." mean a continuation of W. S. "Solid, South" and their "Democratic Party of Hate." 5. Because for now us are in national democratic ticket winning conditions "would be little" in racial treason. 6. Because: To vote the Social Ticket is "playing with fire" and thrown away. The Problem is and all the rest are at present on the question. And not vote is equivalent to voting the democratic set. 7. Because: Recognizing Representation in aloofness and indifference toward recent years, we should realize that our united support in now voting the Republican Party into the we will have even a stronger demand and expect all the constitutional rights, heretofore denied. 8. Because, Senator Harding and his error Coolidge have both been enough, broad enough and brave enough to express themselves as to guarantee our people all of their rights the Constitution and our only right lies in believing this and trusting them. 9. Because of the "splitter" republican platform against Lynch 10. Because under the circumstances in the name of same hopefulness the name of common people name of God—there is nothing to do. Every woman and every our people should register and Harding and Coolidge and all lean candidates for the senate and gress. Required by the Act of Congress August 24, 1912.

TIM BRYNN successes materialized through their work, the salary suddenly ceased coming and the firm of McPherson and Brymnn cast about for other quarters. Harry. Von Tilzer, being on the top wave as a publisher of popular songs, engaged them, and then came their first big success, "Josephine, My Joe," and this was soon followed by "Please Go Way and Let Me Sleep," which was published by Shapiro-Bernstein. The royalty for these two songs in the first six months amounted to $9,000. In 1904, Brymnn went abroad as musical director with Williams and Walker's "In Dahmney," starting Avery and Hart, for which production he wrote "My Zulu Babe," which was one of the big song hits of this well-known team of colored comedians. A coincidence of his first trip abroad was that, as he alighted from the train upon his arrival in London, he was greeted by the strains of his own popular success, "Please Go Way and Let Me Sleep," coming from a hurdy-gurdy in the street. After his return from abroad Lieut. Brymion devoted much of his time to writing music, some of his successes being "Good Night Lucinda" for Eddie Foy in "Bluebird," "Teasing," "Good Morning Carrie," and later the "La Runuba Tango" for Maurice and Walton. A signal honor was conferred upon Lieut. Brymion when he was made leader of the Clet Club, America's most noted organization of colored artists; and he Brymion plays cello and brass instruments was also cello soloist during his association with this organization. Though the piano is his favorite instrument, Lieut. equally well. Lieut. Brymion was the first leader to invade the "White Lights" with a colored band, having had orchestras at the New York Roof Garden, Ziegfeld's Follies, Madison Square Garden, George Rector's and Reisenweiser's—all simultaneously. Then came an engagement at Palisades Park for three years, and it was during this period that Lieut Brymn enlisted in the service when America entered the war. Under Gen. Fred T. Adkins, he organized the famous 350th Field Artillery Band, which was the largest in the American army. Lieut Brymn's success was largely due to Gen. Austin, who encouraged and assisted him in every way, believing that a good band was a morale builder for his artillerymen. Lieut Brymn had the distinction of being the first mastermaster in the army to be honored by the War Department with a heutenancy. It was the 350th Field Artillery Band, under the leadership of Lieut. Brymn, that introduced jazz music in France, and before being killed by Wilhelm and Gen. Pershing during the visit of the Presidential party. The musical record of this band was only exceeded by their fighting record abroad, and Lieut. Brymn still retains his valiant fighters whose efforts are now winning such success as entertainer. Fresh from their conquests, the John Field Artists Fund started a work in concert, but this was interrupted by such a tattering offer from Louis Fischer that Leont Brynn signed a six months contract for his hand to appear at the Hotel Shelburne, Brighton Beach, where their success was phenomenal that they were re-engaged for a second season at this popular seaside resort. The electrical storm which raged so merely last Thursday night prevented John H. Eckles, tenor, Mies Blanche Smith-Eckles, soprano, and W. A. Calhoun, organist, from carrying their recital program at Mother A. M. E. Zumuth church, and because their date is available for more than two months, the concert was necessarily postponed to Monday night, October 11, when the program will be given in full. Others to appear are William H. Holland, basso, Marion Cumbo, cellist, and Mime, DeKnight, reader. SOME REASONS FOR THE Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Development of modern methods in farming has brought a greatly increased interest in scientific agricultural processes. A phase of this is shown by the many inquiries reaching institutions, which include agricultural subjects in their curriculum, for, information concerning teachers of agriculture and director of agricultural schools. Benjamin H.bert, the master, teaches agriculture at Tuskegee Institute, says he is being made a new, as never before, the great need for men and women who are prepared along this line. As a result of these inquiries, Mr. Hubert has issued an announcement in regard to the study of agriculture. Under the heading, "Some Reasons Why We Should Study Agriculture," he writes as follows: FIRST: Agriculture is at the foundation of all other sciences and arts and whee we make a study of this subjects we know something of the soil, plants and animals, and are prepared to enter any other field with a much bigger and broader vision than when we have started. If we have more plans to study for any of the professions he will find that a thorough working knowledge of science and art of agriculture will give him a firmer and better group of the subject he is to take up. J. B. Tynes, of the Virginia Normal and I. I. discussed the subject. The Farm Shop and its Equipment. He movement for Negro journals The Research SECOND: There is no other subject to day that offers larger, remuneration for those who follow it from a business point of view than does agriculture. The farmer has come into his own during the past few years. If a man wants money, then a practical application of the principles of scientific farming will give him headway very rapidly. A man working his own farm under modern conditions is the man who is to lead in the next few years. THIRD: Probably the greatest need now is for teachers of agriculture; the statement was made in a recent meeting at Baltimore, that this was the biggest problem confronting educational workers among colored people to day. We are in a position to say that there will be sufficient openings for Smith-Hughes Agricultural teachers by 1925. Afford employment to several hundred teachers in various ranges ranging from $1500 to $3,000. If plans eventually to do other work it will be a splendid thing for him to study agriculture and teach a few years for the experience it will give him and for the remuneration received. FOURTH: Above all things agriculture offers an independent living to those who follow it as a life's work. If a man wants the outdoor life and that goes with it a study of the science and practice of farming will give him this to a greater degree than any other vocation. Tuskegee Institute is now making a special plea for young men and women to take up this line of work that they may be in position to fill the many places of trust and opportunity now opening up to those who are prepared to do this work. Any young man or woman who has not made up his mind what he is to do in life and who wants a large field of service and opportunity, would do well to enter the Agricultural Department now and prepare himself for the great future that awaits him. Episcopal Convocation Lawrenceville, Va.—The twenty-eighth annual convocation of the Diocese of Southern Virginia, for colored Work closed a three days' session here in St. Paul's Memorial Chapel Thursday afternoon. The Convocation is commenced of the colored churches and missions of the diocese. The president of the Convocation is the Ven. James S. Russell, archdeacon for colored work of the diocese. Bishop Tucker is president-exofficio, and Bishop Thompson, Vice-President exofficio. The Thuringia was the host in the mission of the Convocation. Order and characterized the proceedings of the body. Papers and addresses were of a high order and they dealt with questions of moment to the church and diocese. The meeting began Tuesday, Sept 7th at 11 a.m. with morning prayer and a eloquent and forceful sermon by the Rev. S. W. Grice, warden of Bishop Dame Dijigny School, Petersburg, Va. After organization, committees were appointed and adjournment was bad for luncheon. The afternoon session was given over mainly to addresses by Archdeacon Russell and delegates to the last Council. The addresses emphasized present conditions confronting the Church and the need for more effective church work and a greater degree of individual concentration and missionary effort. The archdeacon's address was in the nature of a review of the year's work. Two churches, Grace, Norfolk and St. Stephen's Petersburg, had assumed self-support while two others, St. James Portsmouth, and St. Cyprian's Hampton, were almost on the verge. The number of parochial schools and thearies of research was as well as the degree had been increased by the Diocesan Board of Missions, which had voluntarily relinquished all outside support to its colored work. The direct result of this liberality of the Diocesan Board is that the colored work is receiving several thousand dollars more than it ever received before. The second day of the Convention witnessed the ordination to the Diocese of Mr. C. E. Green. The service was conducted by Bishop Tucker. The preacher was Bishop Thomson, whose sermon dealt largely with the responsibilities and sacredness of the office. The candidate was presented by the Rev. J. Alvin Russell, rector of St. Paul's Memorial Chapel. Immediately after the ordination service addresses were delivered by Bishops Tucker and Thompson; Miss Hunter of Portsmouth, on the Girl's Friendly Society; and Mrs. Gia B. Stokes of Richmond on Social Service and the War History Commission of Virginia. The afternoon was devoted to the Sunday School Convention and reports of the committees. Later in the afternoon session. The conclusion was given over to the commission of the ordination and report of committees, etc. The following delegates were led to the next Diocesan Council, Critical, Revs. E. E. Miller and J. Lee, Lay, Messrs. W. H. Jennings and W. E. Reid, M. D. Thursday's session was a half day given over to the Woman's Auxiliary which included a memorial exercise, reports from the several branches, and a paper by C. E. Smith, "Woman's Place in the Church and How She Can Best Dignify It." Following her paper was another most practical paper by Mrs. Fanny P. Jackson of Portsmouth. At 12 M. the Convention adjourned since the after singles hymn 672 and prayer by archdeacon Russell. Conference of Vocational Teachers, Petersburg, Va. The teachers in the Colored Vocation Schools of Virginia under the Smith-Hughes Act, have just closed their annual conference which was held at Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. The meeting was conducted by T. D. Eason, supervisor of Vocational Agriculture for Virginia. He was assisted by G. W. Owens of V. N. & L. L. Mr. Eason opened the conference with an address on "The Status of Vocational Education in the Colored Schools of Virginia". He spoke of the development of work and its real aim and problems. He emphasized the problems involved and expressed the hope for a bright future for agricultural education. "The Place of Agriculture in the High School Curriculum", was discussed by G. W. Owens, teachers-trainer for colored Vocational Schools in Virginia. By means of an online lecture he showed the purpose, scope, and content of the agricultural curriculum. During the conference, general discussions were held in which all present took part. The topics discussed were suggested by the teachers themselves, and proved to be both timely and practical. Some of the topics discussed were: "Agricultural Projects for Town Boyz"; "Creating Interest in Farming among among High School Pupils"; "First Method of Transportation to and from Projects", and a number of other subjects. THE GREAT NEGRO STATE FAIR RALEIGH, N. C. Oct. 25th to 30th, 1920 Excursion Trains and Reduced Rates Including Admission to the Fair, From all Points in North Carolina on all Rail- J. B. Tynes, of the Virginia Normal and I. L. discussed the subject; "The Farm Shop and its Equipment". He especially emphasized the necessity of having the farm shop work closely connected with the real farm needs. He outlined the equipment necessary for the average farm shop, and suggested a method of procedure in the work of instruction. W. K. Blodgett, director of the Agricultural Department of Hampton Institute, was present and took part in the discussions: Mr. Fann, also of Hampton, discussed cooperation among farmers in the matter of buying supplies and selling produce. He showed how the vocational teachers can assist the farmers in this matter. Sions, F. F. Simms, director of trades at Virginia Normal and I. L. gave a demonstration showing how the stericton can be used for instructional purposes by the vocational teacher. Mr. Sargent, regional director for Colored Vocational Schools, was present and gave the teachers the benefit of his ideas and observations, and experience. The conference should prove to be very helpful. The teachers in attendance at the conference were entertained at a reception by Dr. John M. Gandy at his residence. WASHINGTON LETTER Terr. N.W. York Acr. Pureau, 609 F. Street, N. W. Jeanette Carter, Manager. Washington, D. C.-The week marked the resumption of activities in all work, the various civic centers, musical clubs, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the celebrated Bethel Literacy and Historical Association, as well as the churches, making known their program for the winter season. The Metropolitan Baptist Sunday School launched a program for membership for 1000, fully six hundred coming out at the opening. The missionary society of the church plans to pay the tuition in the National Training School for Women and Girls of a native African girl. A committee of religious workers met at the Lincoln-Temple Congregational Church and adopted a constitution and made its plans for systematic Bible study. The Rev. D. E.

The meeting was held under the auspices of the Washington Auxiliary Mission to Leipzig. Walter Burwell, formerly employed as a waiter at the Columbia Country Club, is sought by the police to answer for the total shooting of James Taylor and had at the club appeared that Burwell had charged from the club, and had the blame to Taylor. So he called at the club under pretend of wanting to talk with Taylor, and when the latter appeared at the basement door, he was shot in the abdomen, from which wound he died at the Emergency Hospital. He was sixty years old. Three hundred children, residents of Deawood, a colored colony on the outskirts of this city, returned to report to their classes, their parents explaining that the absence was due to the fact that building operations were still in progress in the building, and they considered the building unsafe for their children. The officials urged the return of the children, declaring the danger to be imaginary, as the school has been inspected personally by the officials, and the building has been adjudged sufficiently safe to permit classes to continue. What the residents of Deawood really want is a new school building stating that an appropriation of $100,000 is available for the Ursulian Mission at Howard University delivered to the "The Americanism of the Negro" to a large and appreciative audience at the Mount Carmel Baptist Church.

The Research University, suposedly specializing in meeting the vocational and avocational needs of federal employees, would go on record as catering to white aspirants after knowledge, exclusively. Colored young people are told, when applying for catalogues, in language similar to this—"Of course, you know, we teach by correspondence only!" In the bureau of the Census several young colored women were told that their bonus pay for two weeks would be taken out of their pay because of the fact that they had held back cards and reported too many. These were record punchers, and two of the young women reported 2,000 population cards punched in a seven-hour day.

THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS Drama Is Well Patronized at The Lafayette Theatre Downtees of the drama are being given their first opportunity of the new theatrical season to use the Lafayette Players in action at the Lafayette Theatre "The Crimson Alibi" is the vehicle used to exploit their talents. This piece was successfully produced last season at the Broadhurst Theatre and is a drama of love and mystery, containing many thrills. David Carroll, a detective, played by A. B. DeConathiere, is the central figure, and Mr. DeConathiere plays his role like a regular Sherlock Holmes. The cast in the "Gripson Alibi" is an exceptionally strong one, and includes Lionel Mcougus as Larry Conover; Barrington Carter as Prof. Bristol; Charlie Olden as Andrew Quincy; Harrison Jackson as Robert Darrington; Richard M. Gregg as James Leverage; James H. Norman as Collins; Carlotta Freeman as Mary Garrison; Susie Sutton as Mrs. Dean; Alice Gorgas as Judith Darrell; Inez Clough as Mrs. Burrage, and Kate Shipley as Mrs. Wrench. "The Crimson Allibi" is in four acts and a prologue. It is the spirit of detective story that is of unusual interest to both young and old. The Quality Amusement Corporation has spared no expense to make this production a success. The attendance Monday evening was an exceptionally large one for opening night, and the reception tendered the artists was proof that Harlem theatregoers are desirous of seeing drama now and then at the Lafayette Theatre provided good judgment is used in the selection of plays and they are put on with a view to planning, not only from a dramatic standpoint, but scientifically as well. With the effort being made by The Quality Amusement Corporation at this timetable at this time to present the Negro in this society giving the talented members of the race an opportunity to earn a livelihood on the basis it is the duty of colored businessmen to loyally patronize the days as this evidence of their will be an incentive for Brown and his associates to obtain the movement to raise the standard of colored theatricals throughout the United States. SHPP JOINS QUALITY AMUS'M'TCORP.FORCES Jesse A. Shipp, one of the men largely responsible for the Williams and Walker successes in years past, has been appointed a director of the Quality Amusement Corporation. He will bend most of his efforts toward moulding into shape the musical attractions put out by the corporation. Mr. Shipp is now in Norfolk. Va., where he is staging "My Friend from Kentucky." J. Leubrie Hill's old success, which company will be put out in the near future by the Quality Amusement Corporation under the name of "Dark Town Follies." "BROADWAY GOSSIPS" NEXT AT LAFAYETTE Following the strong dramatic play, "Crimson Alibi," at the Lafayette Theatre, the attraction beginning Monday, October 11, for one week only, will be "Broadway Gossips," a musical comedy in two big acts and ten big scenes. This company had a long and successful run in Chicago, and played to big business in Pittsburgh and other cities. Included in the cast are Quintard Miller, Doe Doe Green, B. B. Joynier, Cleo Mitchell and Theresa Burroughs Brooks. Miss Brooks was one of the big favorites with the Billy King when it played a long and successful run at the Lafayette Theatre a few seasons ago. The fashion show, the beauty review and Chinatown at midnight will be among the features of this strong musical attraction. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS By BOB SLATER.

THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1920 By "Ted" Hooks, Sporting Editor The shocking revelations of the baseball gambling probe have been sufficient to throw eight stars of the diamond out of big league baseball for the rest of their natural lives. The Chicago investigation has been far-reaching. It has thrown a powerful searchlight on shady places on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Most of us who pay just a slight bit of attention to that baseball conflict from which members of our race are barred, owing to the color of their skin, have known for some few months that Hal Chase, former first baseman of the Cincinnati Red Sox and of the New York Giants, was driven from organized baseball because he was accused of "throwing" games, because he entered into agreements with gamblers, promising not to put forth his best efforts in order to make his team lose. The investigation now going on in Chicago is bringing out more than this. It is proving that Chase did not stop with selling himself out to the gamblers but used his influence and the influence of the dirty dollars he handled for the crooked men behind him to induce his teammates to follow his example and get the tainted dollars offered them. Hal Chase's banishment meant little to the Negroes of the country and were it not for telling the whole story which we wish to tell, we would not mention it here. The Case of Zimmerman Fans all over the country know of the Chase case but Harlemiites have often wondered why Heinie Zimmerman former third baseman for the Giants, held that position no longer. Why should a ball player of this calibre choose to play on a third rate semi-pro team, like the Bronx Giants, in preference to playing with the New York Nationals, commonly called the Giants. Playing against colored teams at Bronx Field, Zimmerman has produced as sensational a game as any player on the diamond and this has served to make the fans wonder more than ever why he was denied his old berth with the Giants. The airing of the crooked players' cases in Chicago has given rise to house cleaning in many other cities. Given we in New York are to learn some part of the truth, developments have proven that Zimmerman, who has played all season for the Bronx scrubs at 10th street and Westchester avenue, was released from the Giants and driven out of organized baseball because he was accused of offering money to his teammates, just like Hal Opae had done, in order to have them play to instead of to win. Kauff Let the Cat Out While the Giants were on a western trip last season Jimmy Kauff was playing the outfield and muffed an easy fly at a time when it meant much to the New York outfit, owing to the men on base for their opponents. When the side was finally retired and Kauff came to the bench, he was upbraided by McGraw and accused of being in league with gamblers. Kauff became angry and heatedly told McGraw that he could have made a few hundred dollars by throwing the game had he wanted to, but he had refused the offer. McGraw is alleged to have asked for and received a more detailed explanation from Kauff, which implicated Zimmerman. Why No Negroes? The past season has seen a wild hunt by all the teams in the big league to grab up promising material. Scouts have been known to be present at all semi-pro parks where white teams were engaged, yet they fell short in supplying the demand. With the whole Chicago American team disrupted, this shortage will be more pronounced next season. Then why will rules of the great American game continue to raise the color line barrier to prevent our stars from getting a chance? White sport writers, at irregular intervals, burst forth in praise of some player on our colored team or another. They tell of his wonderful hitting and holding ability, they tell of his gentlemanly qualities on the field and off but they variably end with: IF HE WERE NOT COLORED, ETC. ETC. How long is this state of affairs going to continue to exist? Are our star ball players—despite the active part they took in the war for Democracy, despite their gentlemanly behavior on the diamond and in civil life—to be forever, confronted with this insurmountable color barrier? Is there no conscience in the white solons' hearts? Will there never be any way out for the Negro? Start a Campaign. THE New York Age would like every one of its readers to write a letter or a card to a writer on whatever daily he reads contending for fair play for Negro ball players. Write cow! Take time and. . . write plain common sense and ask the scribe to publish your letter. And you are at liberty to mention Tion Ace. To Play Return Game Sunday, October 10th, the Columbia Cubs have been asked to play the High- bridge nine, the white baseball team which defeated them Sunday before last a return game. Since last year the Cubs have more than doubled their membership and are able to play this game and center their interest on basketball with race. The game will be played at McCombs Dum Park, at 1:00 P. M. These young men will drive to oversee "wild man jinx," and Highbridge will try to make it two straight, something no club that has played the Cubs can boast of doing.

NOVO BOYS: CLUB AT HARLEM CASINO DANCE On Wednesday evening, September 27, Harlem Casino was the scene of much merriment when the Novo Boys Club staged their first dance of the season in that popular dance hall. The affair was well attended and by a set quite different from the crowds seen at ordinary social gatherings. Many ladies were garbed in most evening gowns and while few men wore evening clothes, all were immaculately dressed. Gladstone Marshall, with his society or orchestra, helped wonderfully in making the Novo Boys dance the success which it proved to be. Dancers were kept busy by the seemingly endless number of popular airs played by these musicians. A feature was added to the evening entertainment when Mr. Fitz Alexis, secretary and organizer of the club, offered up the cricket bat promised to the club with the largest membership present. It was only after a thorough count had been taken of the several contestants that the Grenada Cricket Club was found to be the most-largely represented club in the house. It was estimated that the Novo Boys catered to more than five hundred of their friends at this dance. To Meares, Beitram and Purcell go much of the credit for making the Novo Boys as popular as they are among their friends. These men have co-operated with Mr. Alexis and formed what promise, to become a society organization of the first order. Bon Tons on Columbus Day Bon Tons on Columbus Day. Those jolly Bon Tons boys, led by the ever pleasing Bob Douglas, of basket ball fame, will again share their joys with us on Columbus Day, October 12 when they will bloom forth in song and dance at Manhattan Casino. Following the wonderful precedent which they set with their initial affair on Decoration Day, which Harlemites will not soon forget, the Bon Tons will have on hand the best music to be had in New York, and plenty of it. The famous guards, Headache Band Capers and J. Franklin Forbes, will be supervisors of the floor. The Bon Tons are promising the customary big night and joyful time usually had by followers of their attractions on October 12, Columbus Day night. GOLF NEW YORK GOLFERS WIN IN FIRST GAMES The first intra club tournament of the New York Golfers Association went beyond the expectations of its most conclusive members on Wednesday, September 29th. Six entrants matched their skill over the beautiful Van Cortland Park links and all finished with credible scores. In order to have as many entrants in their first tourney as possible quite some time was wasted in waiting for late arrivals. The time wasted had to be taken off on the other end and the contestant had to limit their matches to twelve holes. The respective scores for the twelve holes were: George Aaron 92; Arthur Gibbob; making a tie for first place. Jessarland, president of the newly formed union, was next with a 41; David Bremon 60; Minton Small, a recent convert to the game, fought it out with law;rence Foster for last place, either Small nor holder, who is secretary of the club, contents himself with the tail end. It came through with a 70. A representative audience followed the contestants, around and showed musical enthusiasm over the leaders games. Among the audience were Mrs. Garland, Mrs. Foster, Mr. and Mrs. Summons and Mrs. Philips. Many of the spectators prompted to try their hand at the game in the next future. Mrs. Garland expects many new members before the play at close. She Liked It. A little girl was asked, upon her return home, how she liked the singing of the congregation in the church. "I liked it very much, indeed," she said, "although all the people said it was bad." "All the people said it was bad! What do you mean, my dear?" "Oh, it was so bad that I heard the people praying, 'Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable singers.'"—London Tat-Bat. Butler, Johnson and Ponteau In Olympic Athletes' Parade Thousands Applaud Antwerp Victors in Fifth Avenue March-Mayor Hylan Congratulates and Sympathizes With Butler Promptly at 2:30 Saturday afternoon the parade in honour victorious American Olympic athletes, which was promised Mayor Hylan, started to march from 59th street and left down to City Hall. Thousands crowded the line of march to catch a glimpse defenders of Uncle Sam's athletic prowess and thousands waited at City Hall to witness the presentation of medals by Hylan on behalf of the city of New York.

POST OFFICE CLUBS TO PLAY BASKETBALL Word has reached this office that government employees, principally post office clerks, are to put before the public this season one of the best playing best equipped, basket ball teams ever seen in the big city. The team is to be known as the New York Post Office Clerks and is to be in financial by the Elijah P. Lovejoy Club. We are informed by officers of this club that they are after a man well known in basket ball circles who is engaged in post office work to act as coach for their charges. This man may be induced to play with the clerks if they come up to expectations. The announcement from the "Clerks," as they will be commonly known, that they are to spare no expense in procuring their costumes assures New Yorkers of seeing an well dressed team on the floor this season. Such an announcement should be a warning to older clubs to be more careful about the uniformity of their charges' garb. Many Experienced Players In selecting a team the "Clerks" have many men of experience to choose from, men who have made reputations on teams, retiree wishing to in this vicinity. Without delving into titles to find out just who is in the service, we know off-hand that Aceome, Brooklyn's noted star, Edgar Parkinson, Nick Wilson, Sylvester Rice, William Banks and George Smith are on the post-office pay roll. Ahead from these well known players there are many southern boys who have made reputations on college teams now working in the post office to get a start. Out of this collection the "Clerks" should get one of the strongest teams in the East. The "Clarks" are issuing their first call for candidates to meet next Sunday, October 10th. All men willing to try for the team are advised to meet with them at the regular meeting of the Elijah P. Lloyd Caucus at Community Center, 12th street and Ninth avenue.

A. middle distance runner, ran in the colors of the St. Anselm A. C. at the N. Y. A. C. Games. It was thought that Gaskell intended joining some colored club after his period of unattachment had expired. Clarence Sherman, St. Christopher's young half-minder will take a complete rest from competition. Sherman had quite a streumous and successful campaign on the track during the past season. Track Manager Seaton of Alpha, has started his team of barriers to work with the junior cross-country championships in view. He has a prospective individual mentor in R. Moorhead who has interested wonderfully since last year. Local athletes will have their last ting at the outdoor game on Saturday at Bayonne, N. J., where the Industrial A. A. will hold the final outdoor meet of the year. The feature event is a medley relay at 17.8 miles, St. Christopher, Salem-Urcress and Alpha have entered teams and the battle for the trophy will be a hot one. Bill Parker of St. Christopher will get a taste of real competition at Bayonne in the event that Capt. McCannon starts him on the relay. The half mile is usually run last and Sandy Evans will be running for the Salemites. Sol Butler was the center of attraction in the parade of the Olympic athletes on Saturday. Sol with his golden smile, was busy acknowledging the greetings of admirers all along the line of march. There was not a colored club represented in the parade. The colored organizers from no doubt are still peering at the Olympic Committee over the raw deal that over when the team was selected for Autosport and preferred to watch the parade from the sidewalks. R. Thompson, Salem's crack high jump was impressively placed at scratch in the jump at the N.Y.A.C. games. While his loss has shown several good performances, he is not quite capable of pumping against Olympic contenders. Handshower Matthews was away off in his judgment. Sandy Evans continued to add to his string of victories. Last week at Great Barrington, Mass., Sandy won the 220 and 440 yards from scratch, winning the age in 223.5 seconds and the quarter in 493.5.

(Continued from First Page) is, according to the Haitian-American Convention, a (laïtian official charged with certain duties) (in this case the approval of the budget and accounts), retusing to carry out those duties until the government yields to the pressure which is being brought. Giving Haiti the "Third Degree." Haiti is now experiencing the "third degree." Ever since the bank contract was drawn and signed at Washington increasing pressure has been applied to make the Haitian government accept the clause prohibiting the importation of foreign money. Mr. Siglemma is now holding up the salaries of the president, ministers of departments, members of the Council of State, and the official interpreter. (These salaries have not been paid since July 1.)* are note, S. as end). and there the master stands. Several things may happen. The Administration, finding present methods insufficient, may decide to act as in Santo Domingo, to abolish the President, cabinet, and all civil government—as they have already abolished the Haitian Assembly—and put into effect, by purely military force, what, in the face of the unfinished Haitian refusal to sign away their birthright, the combined military, civil, and financial pressure has been unable to accomplish. On with an election and a probable change of Administration in this country pending, with a Congressional investigation foreshadowed, it may be decided that matters are "too difficult" and the National City Bank may find that it can be more profitably engaged elsewhere. Indications of such a course are not lacking. From the point of view of the National City Bank, of course, the institution has not only done nothing which is not wholly legitimate, proper and according to the canons of big business throughout the world, but has actually performed constructive and generous service to a backward and univilized people in attempting to promote their railways, to develop their country, and to shape soundly their finance. That Mr. Farnham and those associated with him hold these views sincerely, there is no doubt. But that the Haitians, after over one hundred years of self-government and liberty, contemplating the daughter of three thousand of their sons, the loss of their political and economic freedom without compensating advantages which they can appreciate, fell very differently, is equally true.

After the occupation it purchased 6,000 additional shares in the hands of three New York banking firms. Since then it has been negotiating for the complete control of the stock, the balance of which is held in France. The contract for this transfer of the Bank and the granting of a new charter under the laws of Haiti were agreed upon and signed at Washington last February. But the delay in completing these arrangements is caused by the impasse between the State Department, and the National City Bank, on the one hand, and the Haitian Government on the other, due to the fact that the State Department and the National City Bank insisted upon including in the contract a clause prohibiting the importation and exportation of foreign money into Haiti subject only to the control of the financial adviser. To this new power the Haitian Government refuses to consent. Note 2. $\gg$ Originally, Mr. James P. McDonald secured from the Haitian Government the concession to build the railroads under the charter of the National Railways of Haiti. He arranged with W. R. Grace & Company to finance the concession. Grace and Company formed a syndicate under the acquisition of the National City Bank which issued $2,500,000 bonds, sold in France. These bonds were guaranteed by the Haitian Government at an interest of 6 per cent on $2,500 for each mile. A short while after the floating of these bonds, Mr. Farahun became President of the company. The syndicate advanced another $2,000,000 for the completion of the railroad in accordance with the concession granted by the Haitian Government. This money was used, but the work was not completed in accordance with the contract made by the Haitian Government in the concession. The Haitian Government then refused any longer to pay the interest on the mileage. These happenings were prior to 1915.
