This action was taken as a result of the decision of the executive committee of the City Board of Directors, with headquarters at 2 West 45th street, to retain Thomas E. Taylor as executive secretary of the colored branch notwithstanding that the local committee had on February 18th, demanded the secretary's resignation. The men who in this manner assert their sense of self-respect and manhood, comprise some of the most distinguished and prominent men of the race in the City of New York, including pastors of five of Manhattan's largest churches, a member of the New York Board of Aldermen, a former member of the New York Board of Education who is a leading physician, a dentist, chiropodist and a business man.

After meeting on February 18th the local committee of Management of the coloured branch Y. M. C. A., decided, by a vote of 8 to 7, to ask for the resignation of Thomas E. Taylor, executive secretary, because of certain alleged indiscretion committed through too imminent cooperation with the young secretary to the executive. A thorough sifting of the matter was had, and although Taylor disclaimed any wrongdoing in his contact with the young woman, it was thought that because of the fact that both Taylor and his secretary were married persons, although living apart from their respective wife and husband, their association was indiscrete to the extent that Taylor's usefulness as a Y. M. C. A. secretary was seriously impaired. The local committee, before taking this action, had consulted Walter T. Drake, general secretary for the City board, and had been told by that official that the local board's action would be sustained by the general board; as the members of the local board had controlling authority in affairs of the local branch City Board Refreshed. Approval. But the City Board has refused to approve the action of the local board, and through Wim H. Sage, a member of the general board, and to the capacity of the board's attorney, word has been received to the effect that while Taylor may have been indiscreet in his actions he will not be removed as 'executive secretary.' The statement was made by Mr. Sage, to an Act representative that the local Committee of Management has no plenary power whatever. That control is vested absolutely in the general board, which owns the property, appoints the local board and selects the executive secretary, which is really the general boards personal representative and assemble only to that body. Members of the local board resented the idea that they were acting in the capacity of "rubber stamps" and were simply "held in the hands of the white board," and on they held a meeting on Monday afternoon, April 4th, at the residence of Dr. Eugene P. Roberts, chairman of the Committee of Management, and took under consideration the action of the general board. Ten Memburs Isaac Sagittant.

Appleton Manson The Ace reporter quoted the rector, Rev. H. C. Bishop, as having thanked the parishioners for their interest and as expressing gratification at the result with the additional statement that he had been somewhat worried during the past year but was sure he would be given the support of the new wsty. This intimation that the old board did not cordially support the rector has drawn out the statement from the three defused vestryment, in which they charge that their defeat was brought about through deliberate misrepresentations as to their relations with the rector. Information has been received that Bector Bishop denied the accuracy of the quotation of his letter. The reporter who concurred the election, in St. Phillips' district, states that after the votes had been counted, Dr. Bishop said that he waited to thank the members for their vote, as they did not realise how much he had suffered during the past year. He also said that the vote clearly showed that he would have the support of the members from now on. The statement from Measra, Robinson, Newton and Mason is as follows: An reference to report in last week's issue of The New York Act, on the result of the annual election of worden's LKER'S SALON ENING: Bury partly repaired Bury Farm, 110 Bury Farm, 100, 100, 100 and plaster of divinities constructed especially arranged for the use of gour- men. James Cross of 262 West 47th street, Manhattan, is an unassuming, retiring sort of chap, so when a fire started in a room the fifth floor of the Winter Garden, Building, and William Matthews, a white man clerking for, the Winter Garden Drug Co, in whose store Cross is the porter, was caught in a room and his clothes became a mass of flames. James quietly prevented Matthews from hurting himself from the window, beat out the flames, took the white man along a six inch edge from one five-story glass door into the room, and dragged Matthews into the room into safety. The valorous feat was witnessed by thousands who lined the curb on West Fifthth street from Broadway to Seventh avenue, and a great wave of applause went up when the rescue was finally effected. Other occupants of the building made their way to the room in which Cross had taken Matthews and helping hands soon had the two often down to the street while other hands battled with the flames raging in the room from whence they had come. The daily papers, heralding the story of the colored man's bravery, could only refer to him as a "Jim," known only for daring care as "Jim," and when the seers after information concerning him began to look around he had disappeared. "Jim" had done the job offering to his hand and when that was BUSINESS ON 135TH STREET IS BOOMING 80 Per Cent. Is Controlled By Negro Merchants Varied Enterprises About eighty per cent of the business done in 135th street between Lenox and Seventh avenues is owned by Negroes. In this block there are 84 places of business. 16 of which are white and 61 right colored. One of the oldest of these Negro businesses in this block is the Alpha Cigar Store at 139-141 West 135th street. This business was established ten years ago on this street by Joseph 1. Pritchard. Besides carrying a large line of cigars and tobacco, he also handles all of the colored papers of the city. Stationery, soft drinks and candies are also carried here. Mr. Pritchard is a notary public and one of and vestymen of Saint Philip's Church in which we three old vestymen, sending this reply, were defeated our attention is attracted to a quotation from the rector, the Rev. Dr. H. C. Bishop, in which he is quoted as saying that he had had a very hard year, but that now he hoped to receive the support and assistance of his vestry. "In view of certain malicious and persistent false reports as to the cause of our defeat, we feel that in justice to those friends who have faith in our integrity we must make this public statement so as to correct, as far as possible, false impressions which these rumors may have created in the minds of many people. "Our defeat was caused by the circulation of the false statement that we had been holding secret meetings looking towards the removal of Dr. Bishop as rector of the St. Philip's Church. This propaganda was carried on with the utmost secret, so far as we were concerned, for we heard no word of it until election was over. "We do not know who invented this lie but it was used with telling effect for the purpose for which it was intended—our defeat. What is surprising is that neither the rector nor anyone else, who heard these reports, ever questioned us as to their truth or falsely. "We have never taken part in or known of any such secret meeting. This whole story was an absolute fabrication. We have been informed on the highest authority that our removal from the ventry was made desirable because of our unwillingness to break friendship with Mr. Marion A. McNichols, a former vestryman, who was defeated a year ago, by similar tactics. We have been on friendly terms with Mr. McNichols, for many years and could not be dialect to him without just cause. In our loyalty to him we sacrificed no loyalty to our church or our sector. If we cannot understand how the rector could publicly discredit, as reported, our services on the ventry. We were elected to serve in the public interests of the parish and we discharged our trust faithfully. CLARENCE W. ROBINSON. GET VICTORY MEDALS CLEAN UP HARLEM AT 15TH REGT. ARMORY HEALTH CAMPAIGN CRY completed he simply and quietly went on about his business. So all the stories could tell was that "Jim", the Negro porter, was a hero, but as to where he came from or whence he had gone, not a trace could be found. Amblance surgeons came and Matthews was carried to Bellvue Hospital, but eh was so severely burned that death came to him on Sunday at that institution. Matthews went to the room on the fifth floor, used as a stair room, to get some materials. Not returning, Cross went up to see what was the master. He found the room in flames and Matthews a living torch. Charged by his burns Matthews attempted to jump from the window. Cross caught his foot and held him until he could be out the flames, but he was able to hide behind. All this while Matthews was struggling to get abase from Cross, and it was only after a long and desperate struggle that the porter succeeded in his task. Then he pulled the clerk back into the room and put him out again feet foremost, on to the narrow stairledge, and half holding and guiding him, made the perilous passage for six feet to the other window. Then, after the doctors came and relieved his burns a little, "Jim" walked away and left the crowd anxiously but vainly looking for the hero that they might acclaim his bravery and courage. the best known business men in Harlem. Glenn's Restaurant at 106 West 35th street is the most popular colored restaurant in Harlem. This business was started four years ago by J. S. Glenn with four employees. At that time the restaurant was valued at $1,200. During the past year equipment and improvement to the restaurant was added, costing $1,800. There are also five different people employed in the business, and more meals are served there than at any other colored restaurant in the city. Mr. Glenn is assisted by Mia Matherson in the day and Ross Robinson at night. The only colored electrical store in Harlem is located at 107 West 135th street. This business was established by the late C. M. Moton nearly ten years ago. Since the death of Mr. Moton the business has been run, and is now owned. The War Department wants every veteran to receive the beautiful Victory Medal awarded by the United States to those who served in the World War. With this end in view, Colonel B. W. Atkinson, officer in charge of distribution of Victory Medals for the State of New York, invites all colored soldiers who have not yet applied for this medal to meet him at the 15th Infantry Armory on Friday night, April 8th. This will be an informal meeting, and will have additional interest to the veterans as Col. Atkinson has arranged to show for their benefit the U. S. official films of actual battles, called "Flashes of Action." All colored soldiers are invited—doughboys, engineers, artillerymen, stevedores—irrespective of the regiment, division or other organization in which they served. Men from Col. Atkinson's office will be in attendance to assist in drafting the necessary papers. There will be no charge for admission. Any veteran desiring to apply for the Victory Medal) should bring his certificate of design from the service the Armory on Friday night, and it will be returned to him as soon as his application has been executed and checked. The actual medals will be issued on Friday night whenever the soldier is allotted the simple decoration without battle claps, otherwise the medal will be sent from Philadelphia where they are assembled at the Quartermaster Depot. Colonel Little, commanding the 15th Infantry, is glad to cooperate with the army authorities and has authorized the use of the armory, American Legion Posts and Veterans Associations should assist in securing a large attendance of colored veterans. DEATH OF PROMINENT MOUND BAYOU CITYMAN (Special to The New York. Age) Mound Bayou, Miss.-John W. Prentice, who was one of the earliest settlers and one of the most prominent citizens of Mound Bayou, died Sunday morning, March 27th, about 2:30 o'clock. He was born in New Orleans, La., and attained the age of 34 years. Mr. Erasmus was very prominently connected with the agricultural, business and building development of the community. He served a number of terms as Alderman and vice-Mayor of the town, and at the time of his death was one of the most active trustees supervising the 'Found Bayon Commissioned School and the erection and equipping of a school building as a cost of $50,000.

CIVIL RIGHTS BILL PASSES LOWER HOUSE (Special to The New York Age) Harrisburg, Pa. — Tuesday, March 29th, 1921, marked the passage by the Pennsylvania Legislature of the Ashbury Civil Rights Bill (H. K. No. 269) by a vote of 119 to 47. The measure was made the special order of the day and was presented at 11:30 a.m. to the Speaker, being supported by the two colored Assemblymen from Philadelphia, Representatives J. C. Ashbury and Andrew F. Stevens, and several of the white legislators. Delegations of colored citizens from all parts of the state came into Harrisburg on Monday and Tuesday morning and were present at the State House when the vote was taken. It was noticeable in the voting that the Oliver adherents voted solidly in favor of the bill, while the Leslie crowd gave only two votes, with the rest of them on the abstent list. Dutrich of Cotacapolis was conspicuously among those absent. This is not surprising, as the committee, dominated by Leslie, did everything in its power to hold the measure back. The bill goes now to the Senate, and aceddy action is looked for. Governor Smolow will sign if it passes the higher House. CLEAN UP HARLEM! HEALTH CAMPAIGN CRY The Health Campaign is on... The message of Health and Cleanliness is being carried to the 155,000 Halemetis this week by the New York Urban League and the allied social welfare agencies of the Community. Every church, and every physician, likewise, is lending a hand to carry the health message to the masses of our people. Last Sunday was Health Sunday and over twenty churches cooperated in putting across the health propaganda. Numbers of the leading physicians visited the churches and spoke directly to the audiences. In other churches the ministers preached health sermons. On next Saturday morning the hosts of the neighborhood will hold a Health Parade Competitions are now being conducted in the local schools for the best essays on health subjects. The campaign will close with a mass meeting at Bethel A. M. E. Church next Sunday at 4 o'clock. Mrs. Rose Pastur Stokes will be the principal speaker and addresses will also be made by Dr. David L. Dublin, statistician of Metropolitan Life, Insurance Co., and Dr. P. M. Murray. The subject will be "The health of the Negro in industry." Threat of Death Family By W Mrs. Waddell,154 Gate Letter Warning Her May 1st, or She W Whites living in the neighborhood of Gates avenue and Downing street are writing themselves down as potential violators of the law if it proves that they are responsible for a communication specifically received by Mrs. Ella Waddell, who purchased the home at 154 Gates avenue, taking possession on January 17th, this year. At that time there was considerable stir over a provision made by certain whites who objected to a colored owner acquiring this property for residential purposes. She is the widow of the late Robert Waddell, with three children, Mrs. Bebie Carney, Miss Ada and Harold Waddell, all of whom make their home with her. Within the past few days Mrs. Waddell received a letter through the snails, reading as follows "NEGRO OWNERS, 154 Gates Ave. You are bettyly given notice and warned that you have to vacate and more from 154 Gates avenue on or before May 1st, 1923, you and your bars of your blood likely will be exposed." Georgia's Governor Says Peonage Must Be Stopped Killings on Williams' Farm in Newton Co. Has Aroused the Conscience of White People of the State, It Appears. (The following article appeared in the New York World of April 2nd, having been written by its special correspondent, Rowland Thomas, who is in Atlanta, Ga., making a special investigation of the promage murders which have been committed in Newton and Jasper counties. Georgia.) (BY ROWLAND THOMAS) Atlanta, Ga. L. After some oa ay their farm labor and driven away tumts to sit down and think over calm Neeru" The man who said that to-day to M. Dorsey, Governor of Georgia. The age. "Before this Williams case peters o f farmers in the pententery.

So the chief man of the State, and citizens, said the same thing in different to learn the extent of and the exact sex Atlanta, Ga. L.-After some communities Georgia have driven away their farm labor and driven away their farm loans, they will have an opportunity to sit down and think over calmly whether a person to deal justly with the Negro. The man who said that to-day to The World correspondent here was Hugh M. Dorsey, Governor of Georgia. The unjust practice he referred to was peonage. "Before this Williams case peters out there'll be a hundred wealthy Georgia farmers in the pententary, I reckon, and the sooner the better." The man who made this observation was Covington County countrymen standing on the steps, of the Covington Court House, and chewing tobacco yesterday, and he also referred to peonage. So the chief man of the State, and one type of thousands of other white citizens, said the same thing in different words to the correspondent who desired to learn the extent of and the exact sentiment toward peonage in Georgia. Peonage technically is the legal act of holding a man in personal bondage for debt. But as used popularly both here and in the North the term is impedenced to include any case where by any means a white keeps a Negro in involuntary servitude Governor Admits Practice. Those twin utterances above quoted ought to answer the question whether such servitude exists here and how the people feel about it. The Governor not merely admits that peonage does exist but asserts it and makes a challenge of the assertion. Peonage must stop, he says. The countrysman talks of its existence casually as New York talks of bootlegging or gunmen, and says men who practice it ought to be in the penitentiary and are going to go there. The correspondent has yet to meet a Georgia white man who either denies peonage or attempts to condone or gloss over the situation. Far from meeting resentment or opposition to inquiry the correspondent has found himself met everywhere he went both courteously and frankly and given generously. From the highest to the lowest, from the most intelligent to the simplest minded, the attitude has been, in effect, there are places in Georgia where the Negro has not been given a collateral deal. Find out the truth and to the North We only ask you to tell the whole truth and see and say also how we feel about it and what we are doing to stop it where it exists. Don't bring a blanket indictment against us because some among us are bad citizens. That's all." To what extent is pearage in the broad sense being practiced in Georgia? Two men best qualified to reply definitely to that question an answered it for The World today. The first was Vincent Hughes, in charge of the Bureau of Investigation of the Federal Department of Justice for the Atlanta district. Practice Not State-Wide. "This office receives and investigates In To Negro White Neighbors States Avenue, Receives it to Vacate Home by Would be Killed. Enclosed with this letter were two clippings from the Brooklyn Eagle of dates in January, telling the story of the excitement attendant upon Mr. Waddell's acquiring and occupying the Gates avenue house, and giving the text of a procat signed by seventy whites constituting a so-called "THE COMMITTEE." The letter was submitted to the police authorities of Brooklyn by Mrs. Waddell but she was curtly informed that the police could do nothing and was given no satisfaction, she claims, in response to her request, for protection. An effort was made, after the police had rejected her appeal, to enlist the activities of the District Attorney's office, but so far without avail. About the only advice received there was to turn the letter over to the postal authorities since the U. S. mail was used for its transmission. In the meantime, Mrs. Waddell and her children are occupying their home and intend continuing to occupy it, providing the theoretical evidence concerning "the Commission." communities. Georgia have driven their farm loans, they will have an opportunity whether upport to deal justly with it. The World correspondent here was Hugh the unjust practice he referred to was pioned out there'll be a hundred wealthy Georgia and the poner the better." ention was given County countrymen in Court House, and chewing tobacco, yeas, and one typical of thousands of other white words to the correspondent who desired sentiment toward pionage in Georgia. For every complaint of pionage arising in the territory comprising almost the whole state of Georgia, Mr. Hugh said, "The bulk of our work is pionage complaints. We are handled in handling many cases because the law is not broad enough. The technical crime of pionage only is committed when involuntary servitude exists when lack of debt, Main Negroes held in servitude through fear or other coercion, perhaps more tinnies than for debt. On the basis of the geographical origin of complaints we receive, I should say that pionage is not widespread in the sense of being Statewide. As far as the complaints show, by far the bigger part of Georgia is free of the practice, which seems to centre in or three more spots where social conditions are less advanced." Pointing to a map, Mr. Hughes indicated Jasper County in mid-Mid Georgia, fifty miles from Atlanta, as the world place. Jasper is the locality where conditions culminated in the killing of eleven Negroes on the Williams plantation. Hughes indicated Jasper's neighbor, Pike County, as another showing symptoms, and pointed out a block of three or four neighboring counties in South Central Georgia as second foci of original complaints. **Country Negroes Are Victims.** "Most victims of pestage are country Negroes," he went on. "The case of Williams, who got city Negroes from stockades, in that respect, is different and also in the fact that his Negroes were day laborers. The majority of complaints we are investigating are cases of tenant, farmers working on an arrangement that the land-owner supply animals, cottonseed, tools and guano, the tenant contributing labor and getting from a quarter to one-half of the crop, depending on the conditions of the agreement. The tenants usually have to buy food at plantation commissaries. I buy the plantation paying the money of complaints reaching Negroes of this class has increased markedly lately. I think the condition of the cotton market has something to do with it. With most farmers still holding last year's crop unsold the temptation to avoid paying out money in very strong, while at the same time they need to hold labor on the plantations to make this year's crop. "My impression is the bulk of Georgia's white residents are guiltless of such practices, just as my experience is that the bulk of white citizens who heartedly back our efforts to stamp out the bad conditions. That attempts, are sometimes made to hinder or block investigations proves nothing but the fact that local conditions favor peonage. We expect them and in the long run they cannot hinder us greatly." Calla Conditions Bad. The second person seen by the correspondent as specially qualified to discuss definitely the extent of peonage was Hooper Alexander. United States District Attorney for the Atlanta district. Mr. Alexander said: "My fixed principle is to decline to泪 Southlinen in Northern newspapers, because own problem and their people have got to settle it themselves. We can stop it if they make up their minds to adopt the right methods; I will only say that the present condition is very bad and that this office, will do everything in his power to correct it, just as it had tried in the past. I have sent white men to jail here for peonage. I shall bring a case to trial next week and hope to get a conviction. For years I have raised my voice here at home stating the conditions and only have been abused or divided. shall not come it any more here and cannot come it any more here." Madam C.J.

(PULL DIRECTIONS ON EVERY BOTTLE) BE SURE THIS SLAL IS UNBROKEN New C.J. Walker Mt. I get evidence and I shall try my best to send every indicated man; the Federal Penitentiary, where he belongs." Kidnared Into Slavey. Mr. Alexander, like Mr. Hughes, discussed the big loop hole in the promotion statute, which limits the offer to debt relief. He said: "The case of Sherif W. M. Persons of Jasper County, which I hope to try soon, though commonly referral to as promage, is that the charge against Persons is hidnapping a Negro into slavery. That was the only possible charge. We allege that a Negro from his place came to Atlanta and that Persons came here and took him back to Jasper County and made him work sphere. If he could have prevented the Negro's departure from the county, we could not have touched him, no matter how clear the facts about involuntary servicing might have been, so long as no question of debt was involved." So much for the question of the existence of perjury. All George's admits it. Hays de Georgia posits in general feel about such a situation. Attitude of the South. The correspondent's unqualified answer to that question is that every decent white man and woman in Georgia—which means at least 90 per cent of the State's white population—is as deeply outraged and indignant over the recent rebellion as any other part of the country can be. This conclusion was reached as follows; The correspondent came South teaching the discussion of the prevalence of teenage here was to be a ruckish topic, likely to lead evasion and assault treatment as criticism from an intrusive consider. Instead of that he belonged in Atlanta all the numerous businesses and professional persons he met raised the question themselves and were outspoken both in admission of condition and determination to have the case removed. This is the attitude of men of strong and education. The correspondent, then going to the rural districts of Newton County, still expected to and devient to the attitude here. Again he was disappointed. The same frankness, the same indignation and the same determination to give the Georgia Negro a square deal from white men everywhere was manifest among farmers and small town businessmen of rugged, pure American stock. During two days I got acquainted with probably a hundred of them on the Court House, steps or round stores, in homes. View of Farmers I got a very definite impression that the only of those men were willing to stand for any my treatment of a Negro both for sentimental and practical reasons. They needed the Negro He was an asset. The proper relations between the race was the only possible basis of prosperity on well being for all. They saw that. Also there is herited feeling toward the childless Negro of whom none is normally so poor and outcast but he can turn to some white friend if in trouble and not help was outraged by the descent of that somebody he believed Negro was vicinity of the William farm. For that reason too they were bound to know if any other Negroes were being mistreated in Georgia and have any men guilty of it sternly punished regardless of color. Country Georgia, as it expressed itself to the correspondent, was strong as ever for white supremacy, but equally strong for seeing that the Negro got a square deal. Having gathered this impression, the correspondent returned to Atlanta and today Jail his experience before a succession of men knowing Georgia inside and out, thoroughly representative of the best life in this city. Among him he asked Frances Clarke, managing editor of the Atlanta Constitution; Mr. Hughes, Federal Department of Justice; Dr. C. B. Warner, editor of St. Lake's Church, and Marion M. Jackson, promoter as a layer. Salutary Change Impending. Without qualification of those men and others stated the belief that the correspondents impression was a correct one. Wherever unjust, the many men with whom the correspondent had taken in the city and country have been binocular and have succeeded in boggling winking not only him but also the highly competent Georgian officer any person asserting that Georgia tolerate further prognosis between the prosecutors are white and the written colored risks the suspicion of the speaking from first-hand observation. On the contrary, the condition of the public mind seems such that the revelations in Jasper County, hideous and revolting as they were, may 'in the end prove salutary by causing a prompt and permanent clear up of something which might otherwise have lingered long or served as isolation and backward communities. In a communication to The World under date of April 5th, Rowland Thomas tells of said by Federal agents on the Williams farms to secure witnesses to be used in the trial of Williams and Manning, which was scheduled to begin on April 5th. Manning's mother, whose husband was mysteriously shot to death on the Williams plantation several years ago, was among those taken to Atlanta. A deputy marshal told the correspondent that induring what appeared to be a stockade on a farm operated by Williams' son, in which the泄露 were penned at night while an armed guard stood watch. AUTHORITY, Thomas wrote The World as follows: "The Negroes brought at various times from the Williams place to Atlanta will be used, it is understood, as witnesses for the State in the Newton County trial of John Williams and Clyde Manning for the three murders alleged to have occurred in that jurisdiction, as well as in the Jasper County Grand Jury inquiry into the eight Jasper County murders, for which a Customer's jury at Montgomery, hold Williams and Manning in contempt. All of them also are expected to furnish a federal authorities with evidence in the prosecution cases which the state they are preparing at minor murders at the Williams and other James County families. New Propage Case. Result of Lease System. Concerning general Jasper County sentiments the correspondent talked with United States Deputy Marshal Lawsyer of Virginia. Marshal Lawsyer pointed out that if the conditions under which Negroes have lived on the Williams and other plantations are as has been alluded the geographical layout was particularly favorable to them. He said, "There couldn't be a handler place for a farmer who was holding his Negroes by force and fear. There are only two roads leading out—those that cross the two rivers over the Waters and Allen bridges, so if a Negro got enslaved in a plantation the farmer would guard the bridges, then two autos to guard the bridges, then two follow the Negro on the dogs. The Lawsyer also printed out that to up ten years or so ago Greene located its Negro constate, with State and county, can act as chains to do to farm and other labor to individually the levy paying $1 per year per Negro and being supplied free by State or county with reimbursements if any of the Negroes died or became useless through sickness or injury. "Mr. Lissy commented, 'When Negroes were slaves they were property, and their owners had an imposition to handle them right. But if you were that kind of a white man there was no imposition to do anything for those based on property, but get everything out of your would for your $11 a year above and free replacements.' Mr. Lissy stated that during the contact class, requiring certain Jasper County farmers led to his own knowledge made a practice of using that kind of labor, and added: THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1921 "Georgia got so she wouldn't stand that, and now it looks like she was set to clean up what are probably the last relics of it." TEN "Y" DIRECTORS LEAVE LOCAL BOARD (Continued From First Page) man could serve on the committee under the existing conditions. This statement is as follows: We, the undersigned, representing a majority of the Committee or Management of the West 135th street branch of the Y. M. C. A., New York City, desire to make public the following fact: At the February meeting of the Committee of Management after a full and free discussion, a motion prevailed that the services of the secretary of the branch, Mr. Thomas E. Tayler, be terminated on the first of May, 1921, the committee being of the opinion that the usefulness of the secretary was at an end. This vote was not taken until the committee had been assured by Mr. Walter T. Diack, general secretary, that the action of the committee would be sustained by the General Board. Subsequent to this meeting, the local committee was invited to meet the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors in what was supposed to be a friendly conference, but who actually turned out to be a Court of Review. At this meeting the colored members of the local committee were given to understand that they had neither the power to engage nor dismiss the secretary of the branch, that power residing in the white board of the local committee had understood that the West 135th street branch was an association for colored men and managed by colored men. No Self-Respecting Man Could Serve. The public ought to know that the West 135th street branch, in which colored people have invested thousands of dollars, is absolutely owned and controlled by the white board. As an illustration of this fact, the action of the majority of the local committee in dismissing Mr. Taylor, for reasons well known, was revoked by the General Board. This information was imparted Sunday by Mr. Wim. H. Sage of that Board. Of course, no self-respecting colored man could serve on the so-called Committee of Management with the full knowledge that he was merely a rubber stamp or a tool in the hands of a white board. We, therefore, individually and collectively, sever our relations with the Committee of Management and the Young Men's Christian Association. Dr. E. P. Roberts. Walter E. Handy. Dr. Charles H. Roberts. Rev. William P. Hayes. Dr. Jona Emanuel. Rev. A. Clayton Powell Dr. Benjamin T. Withers. Rev. William H. Brooks. Rev. Frank M. Hyder. Rev. J. W. Brown. Much Comment on Case The outcome of the matter has caused much comment by both colored and white people of the city. It is stated definitely that many of the most liberal contributors to the Y. M. C. A. work have withdrawn their support. It is assumed that many of the larger secondary contributors to the Hariem colored branch declare that under present conditions they will refuse further donations to the organization. Another phase of the matter which is prooking curious comment is the alleged attitude of Dr. J. E. Moorland international secretary of colored men's work. It is reported that he first agreed with the majority of the local board that Taylor's usefulness was at an end, but it is claimed that when the City Board let it be understood that the action of the local board would be evicted, the international official is alleged to have changed his attitude and turn in favor of the retention of Taylor. The prosecution taken by the majority of the local board will undoubtedly have its effect upon the work of the 21. The ministers concerned are patrons of some of the largest churches in New York City and it is believed that their following will resent, by imposition withdrawal of support to the Y. M. C. A, the light put upon the colorate men from corporate and executive Committee of the City General Board. The eight members of the Committee of Management not joining in the above action are Rev. R. M. Bolden, pastor First Emmanuel Church, Rev. H. C. Bishop, rector St. Phillips P. E. Church, Counselor E. A. Johnson, John E. Nail, A. T. Anderson, J. A. Agderson, H. C. Parker and A. S. Newman. These men retain their membership on the local board and constitute the ones except the Rev. R. Molden and E. A. Johnson, who voted against asking for Mr. Taylor's resignation at the meeting on February 18th. BUSINESS ON 135TH STREET IS BOOMING (Continued From First Page) by A. P. Davis and brothers.

Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is to age it. Kink-no-more will straighten the hairy portion straight, not for one day or one week, but to last from any age until mature. Water and drying also help straighten Kink-no-more hair. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvellous does it do its work that one can hardly believe it. It is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. I offer a reward of five for any head of hair Kink-no-more is a vegetable groomed. It is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair. But it will keep dandruff, promotes a juxtaposition of healthy hair and keeps it best and glossy. Remember, Kink-no-more is in aid of dandruff. It is trained for it or money returned. It will send to any one on receipt of $1.00 a regular also box of Kink-no-more, dandruff, head of hair. When ordering run interest better, postal money order or express money order. Liberal judgements may be made against Kink-no-more if you cannot afford it. WHITE WOMEN DISCUSS BETTER RACE CONTACT Louisville, Ky.—A report of the women's meeting at Memphis to consider race questions was given to the Women's Club Louisville by member in attendance. The invited or more white women gathered at Memphis had been deeply stirred by the talks of four colored women who had been invited to tell them of the needs of Negro women, children and homes from their point of view. "The trouble with us," said a club member, in reporting the conference, "is that while we have feelings about the Negro we have very little information about him. The conference showed us not only what he is doing for himself, but what he is thinking of our way of dealing with him." The need for protection in domestic service and from mobs was cited; for better homes and sanitation; for justice in the courts; in the division of school funds, and in travel. The Ku-Klux was denounced, and a plea made for more courteous treatment of colored people, especially of colored children by white children. Other club members spoke of the need for present-day contact between the best women of both races if the old-time friendiness and understanding were to be revived. Notice was also given of the spring meeting of the Kentucky inter-racial organization, and the club members were invited to attend. ELMER HARPER WINS (Special to THE NEW YORK ACA) New Rochelle, N.

The announcement that the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Y M C A. has reversed the action of the local board of the 15th street Branch in the matter of the dismissal of the Executive Secretary is a blow to the self-respect of the race, as well as to the standard of morality that should prevail in such an institution. The fact, that the members of the local board were given to understand that they had neither the power to engage nor dismiss a secretary reveals a fatal defect in the organization of the branch. The accused people have raised thousands of dollars to aid in the establishment of this branch, but are now given to understand through their representatives, that its ownership and management are absolutely controlled by a white board, whose indifference to preserving proper standards of morality is a variance with the distinctive purpose of the organization. The fact that the majority of the members of the local board promptly resigned upon notice of this dictatorial attitude of the central body is significant of the penitent of the local community. No other course was open to self-respecting individuals anxious for racial progress and development. The people will not trend for Mr. Taylor, because he persists in a course that offends all moral penitent; nor will they stand for a Coedd Y. M. C. A. dominated in such dictatorial manner (y white men, wholly indifferent to the best interests of the race. It would be far better that the Y. M. C. A. work hard and out altogether than that it should be preserved at the sacrifice of the self-respect and the moral standards of the race. WORK FOR JUSTICE. The exposure of the conditions of poisonage and murder existing in certain parts of Georgia, growing out of the investigations set on foot by the Federal Department of Justice, has shown the necessity for a continued and vigorous prosecution of such work by the department in all parts of the South. The fact that the state of things exposed in Jasper County is not contined to that locality, was shown by the following observation credited to a Nepton County counsellor by a World correspondent: "Before this Williams care peters out there will be a injured wealthy George, farmers in the penitentiary, I reckon, and the sooner the better." If that is the local sentiment expressed by a white countryman on the subject, it must be that the rottenness of the condition is appalling. And, as has been stated by those familiar with the subject, these conditions can be paralleled in every Southern State. The immensity of the task before the Department of Justice is only equalled by its urgency. The head of this department is the Attorney-General of the United States, the Hon. Harry L. Daugherty of Ohio. He has been in office but little over a month, but his opportunity for service has come without delay. Complaint is made by the investigators of the department in Georgia that they are handicapped in handling many peonage cases, because the law is not broad enough. The United States District Attorney at Atlanta also admitted a loophole in the peonage statute. If this is so, the Department should appeal for a broader statute dealing with this crime. The President and Congress will undoubtedly provide the amplest powers to cope with the conditions repealed. As to the wholesale murders committed, it remains to be seen whether the State of Georgia will prosecute to the finish the responsible parties, and whether there is sufficient public sentiment to find any of the white farmers concerned guilty of murder. Governor Dorsey of Georgia is quoted as saying to the World correspondent: "After some communities in Georgia have driven away their farm labor and driven away their farm loans, they will have an opportunity to sit down and think over calmly whether it pays to deal justly with the Negro." If this means that the Governor has put his face against peonage and murder of Negroes and will exert the whole power of the State to prevent it, he will be doing his part to save civilization in his State from total wreck and decay. The Federal Department of Justice in the State authorities of Georgia has no imperative duty before them to deal justly with the Negro." HELP THE BOYS AND GIRLS. There are two kinds of welfare work which should appeal to the community at large with peculiar force. These are the separate, but at the same time similar, organizations for ziding the girls and boys to attain the stature of true womanhood and true manhood. This work of the present is fraught with such fruitful harvests for the future that its effective conduct should not be hampered by the lack of funds. Such useful institutions as the Sojourner Truth-Katy Ferguson Houses and the Boys Welfare Club of Harlem are in need of contributions to meet current expenses and to further the good work that they are doing. Tom Ack will gladly receive and acknowledge any sums contributed for this work and forward the same to the institution designated. Those who would aid in the upbuilding of the race could not find a more effective means of so doing than by helping the work of these institutions. NEED OF THE SOUTH. The pressing need of the South at the present time is torribly expressed in an editorial published in the Norfolk Virgianan-Pillet, under the appropriate heading "Make the South Safe." The consideration of this matter was urged upon the writer of this article through a study of the emigration of Negro workmen to the North and middle-West, and the possible consequences of this movement to the industries of the South. The conclusion was clear that the movement, if continued, will produce economic complications. Taking this view of the matter, it is reported that the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce is considering the advisability of an educational campaign with the object of bringing to the attention of Southern Negroes the advantages of residence in the South because of climate, employment and general living conditions. The editor of the Virginia Pilot considers the movement worth serious consideration as it threatens to denude the labor resources of the South, but it emphasizes the necessity of looking into conditions in the communities from which this labor is departing, with a view to ascertaining if they require correction. As a practical suggestion along this line of procedure, it prints the following communication from J. H. Sterling of Norfolk: Make the South safe for the Negro. Endeavor to find out from the Negroes that have left for Northern cities, or that have reached there, from what localities they come and for what cause. If any of these Negroes are from such localities as are constantly lynching them or ku-klux-klanning them, make an endeavor to punish the people in said locality for such lawlessness. By "endeavor" is meant an honest to goodness" endeavor that will bear fruit. The editor of the Virginian-Pilot endorses this suggestion in the following terms: The South has need of the respectable Negro and the latter has need of the South, but it must be a South purged of burnings at the stake, peonage and mob murder. There must be a ruthless stamping out of the shameful and criminal practice of seizing a black man accused of a crime, and doing away with his life before he is found guilty in a court of justice. This realization by the Norfolk editor and his correspondent of the real significance of the Negro migration from the South is an indication that the thinking men among the whites are beginning to open their minds as well as their eyes to the awful situation that prevails in that section. In Georgia the toleration of open peonage that culminated in wholesale slavery and murder, is enough to startle the civilized world with wonder at a civilization that permits such things to exist. "Make the South Safe," and mean it, is a good slogan to start this house cleaning of local conditions affecting the Negro in Southern communities. Make it safe for the Negro and it will be safe for civilization and for industrial progress. Discussing the industrial outlook with reference to the recent depression and the putting of restraints on immigration from abroad, the Cleveland Call says: "It is regrettable that there has not been a more concerted inclination to enlist the Negro's aid in this present agricultural crisis in the North; and it is also regrettable that no determined effort has been made by the Negro to take advantage of this dearth of farm labor. There is no better farmer in the country than he. The South realizes his value as a tiller of the soil, and were it not for the fact that the market for cotton and other crops has greatly depressed his loss would be even more keenly felt. The opening up of this branch of industry in the North to the Negro would provide for the assimilation of still more migrants from the South." This suggestion is worth while consideration by such agencies as the Urban League, which has done so much to improve the industrial status of the race in the cities. Commenting on the rush for Federal appointments in Texas, the Houston Preemer says: "Though hailing from Ohio, like Presidents Rutherford B. Hayes, William McKinley and William H. Taft, The Freeman does not regard President Harding in the light it does Hayes and Taft, who were not right on the race question, but it does regard him in the same light It did McKinley, who didn't think it was a crime to prefer colored men for public office in Southern states and in Texas particularly where colored appointees, namely M. M. M. Rudgers, D. Webster Wilson, Nat. Q. Henderson and Henry Clay Gray, filled appointments nicely and while they adorned the public service."

Many of these feel that they are handicapped, and handicapped in a way beyond any remedy. many men and women there are, young, middle-aged, continually regretting not having had the education. Many of these feel that they are being trapped in a way beyond any remedy. No need for such a feeling. Any man or woman, who has a fair knowledge of the English liberal education without ever crossing the university; and a liberal education is more college education; indeed, many a person goes out securing a liberal education. It has just been published the greatest comprehensive education that has ever come from the print of two volumes by H. G. Wells, the great Enlightened "The Outline of History."

The choice for a liberal education. I ask all of who have been to college as well as those college, to get the book and read it. Getting the money. There is no need for such a feeling. Any man or woman, young or middle-aged, who has a fair knowledge of the English language, can secure a liberal education without ever crossing the threshold of a college university; and a liberal education is more important than a mere "college education"; indeed, many a person goes through college without securing a liberal education. There has just been published the greatest comprehensive course in a liberal education that has ever come from the printer's press. It is a book in two volumes by H. G. Wells, the great English writer, and it is entitled "The Outline of History." No book in recent years has called forth so much comment and there is no wonder that it has, because the book is little short of a miracle. It is history from an entirely new point of view, in that it is not made up of narrow, nationalistic boastings of various races and nations, but is a story of Life and of the Human Race. It begins with the earth in space, tracing the beginnings of life, the beginnings of man, the beginnings of civilization, and runs on down, through the Peace Conference at Versailles, to the year 1920. The book is a moving picture view, as it were, of the upward efforts of mankind through five hundred thousand years of struggle. It shows the part that has been played by each of the races and one cannot read it through without getting this fact clear in the mind, that racial greatness is, after all, merely a matter of dates in history. The book contains not only history but is a study in sciences, philosophies, religions and literatures. In fact, it contains the germ of all that a man or woman needs to know in order to be well educated. And all of this is contained in less than twelve hundred pages. A reading of Well's "Outline of History" will give the perspective of history, a thing which even few people with college educations get. It is a book which should be placed in the hands of students on entering college. They would then have no difficulty in fitting the various events and movements comprehended by civilization in their proper places. How many persons are there who have not in their reading run across some words in the following list, and although they have had a vague notion regarding their significance, were not sure of their relations or whether they related to persons, events, places or facts?

Any person who cannot associate them with the ideas they represent or does not know where to go to find that association is lacking in the general knowledge which any well-educated person must have. These words were culled at random from the index of "The Outlines of History." I am willing to guarantee any person who can read the English language with understanding and who will read Wells' "Outline of History" that he will make of himself a liberally educated person; and the job is not a hard one. The book is more interesting than many a novel and is not written in technical terms but in language that any one can understand. The book should be read at least three times—first, straight through, second, with a consultation of as many of the references as possible, and third, read through again with the references in mind. Any man or woman who will do this will be able to hold his or her own in any group of intellectual people. Here is the choice for a liberal education. I ask all of my AGE readers, those who have been to college as well as those who have not been to college, to get the book and read it. Get it at any cost short of tealing the money. IUST "IIM".

He n Last week New York newspapers carried on the same day two glaring headlines in both of which the word "Negro" was featured. One of the headlines ran, "NEGRO ATTACKS BANK MAN'S WIFE." This headline in itself was misleading because from usage the word "attack" has come to carry the meaning of attempted rape. The story under the headline, however, was one of robbery. The wife of one of the directors of the National City Bank, New York, was walking along a lonely part of the beach front at Bradley Beach with a woman companion. According to the story, the two women were surprised by a Negro who caught hold of the bank director's wife, threw her to the ground, and tore from her grasp a handbag containing ten dollars in money and some checks. He made away with his booty without being apprehended. The ollier headline ran, "RESCUE THRILLS THEATRE CROWD—NEGRO. BLOCKS DEATH PLUNGE OF MAN WITH CLOTHING AFIRE." Under this heading there followed the story of one of the most heroic rescues that New York has ever had the opportunity to read. William Matthews, a clerk employed in the Winter Garden Drug Store, situated in the Winter Garden Theatre Building at Fifieth street and Broadway, went up to the storeroom on the fifth floor of get some materials for the drug store soda fountain. When he failed to return promptly, Jim, the colored porter, went upstairs to find him. Jim, smelling smoke as he walked along the hallway, forced open the door to the small storeroom and there he found Matthews thrashing about on the floor trying to smother and beat out the fire in his clothing. The room was ablaze. Suddenly Matthews, who was also ablaze from head to foot, leaped to his feet and ran shrieking to the window. He crashed through the glass. Jim grabbed him by the foot and halted him in his plunge. Matthews, maddened with pain, tried to free himself to plunge to the pavement below, but Jim held firmly to one of Matthews's feet and to the window sill. The crashing glass and cries for help and the smoke attracted a crowd that soon packed Fiftieth street and Broadway to Seventh avenue. Strange to say, everyone was so intent on the struggle which was going on on the narrow window sill five stories above the pavement that no one thought to turn in a fire alarm until a policeman came along. In the meantime Jim had extinguished the flames and had carried the victim along a ledge to a window, where, smashing the glass, he dragged Matthews into the room with him. Fireman and policeman rushed up and the two actors in the ing was burned and his whole body blackened by the flames. Jim was also badly burned about the hands and face. Before either of the two could tell what had happened they both fainted. They were still unconscious when assistance from the Fowler Hospital arrived. Jim quickly recovered and went home, while Matthews was sent to the hospital. The newspaper reporters were not able to find out either Jim's last name or his address. Nobody in the store knew either. There is a bit of irony in this. All the while preceding this test, the proprietors and employees of the Winter Garden Drug Store had been ordering around a Negro whom they called Jim, a Negro who nobody took the trouble even to find out his name or to care where he lived. Probably some of them merely thought of him as "Jim, the nigger." Yet Jim's was the bravest heart, the most heroic soul, among them all. Jimi was indeed a double hero. He not only had the stoutness of heart to go through danger for another, but when the danger was over he had the heroism not to stand around and brag about what he had done, to seek the applause of the crowd, or even to get his name in the newspapers. There are perhaps a good many men who could perform the first deed but not many who could do the jatter. We wondered, as we read these two headlines, which story would carry farthest with the New York public: the story of the unknown Negro purse snatcher or the story of Jimi, the hero. A THORN IN THE K. K. K.'S SIDE. There comes to our desk a copy of "The Searchlight," published at Atlanta, Ga., and seemingly the official organ of the Ku Klux Klan. The editorial page of this particular issue of "The Searchlight" contains three double columns of editorial matter embracing five articles. In three of these articles the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is referred to specifically in a manner which acknowledges that the K. K. K. regards the N. A. A. C. P. as its bitterest and strongest enemy. There comes to our desk a lished at Atlanta, Ga., and seem Klux Klan. The editorial page Searchlight" contains three double bracing five articles.

Talk about appealing to the conscience, sense of justice and all that sort of thing sounds all right on certain occasions, but in practice the theory does not work. Our cause must be right and just in order to win ultimately but it will not win simply because it is right and just. Righteousness and justice must be backed up by power. When the Negro in America gains sufficient power, through the co-ordination of all the elements of strength in the race, to make his enemies afraid to ignore or infringe upon his rights, then and not until then will he be allowed the enjoyment of those rights. WHY JOIN THE GUARD? The fact that the project to provide a proper armory for the Fifteenth Regiment of the New York State Guard is nearing realization should stimulate the movement to fill its ranks to the full quota allowed under the law. The plan recommended to the full Armory Board now provides that the armory be built on a site owned by the city, covering the block bounded by Seventh and Lenox avenues and 147th and 148th streets. For convenience and accessibility, this location could not be excelled. The armory, according to the plans formulated by Col. Little, would be at the same time a community centre and it is expected that provision will be made for public baths and other benefits to the community. The advantages offered to young men through membership in the State Guard are both physical and mental. The drill and discipline demanded of a member of the guard is of such a nature as raise the morale of the men who undergo such training and to increase their value as self-respecting members of the community. They constitute the bulwark of the State against lawlessness and treason, and have reason to justify the proper pride they feel in acting in such a capacity. Then there are other advantages that go with membership in such a regiment as the Fifteenth, possessing a spacious and properly equipped home of its own, that are not to be overlooked. After the arduous but vitally necessary duties of drill and camp service, the various companies as well as the regiment at large, may indulge in entertainments of a public and private nature, which should prove a source of general, pleasure to those participating. There will be room for athletic meets, contests of a varied nature and on occasion review; and drills that should arouse popular interest. By joining the fifteenth the young men of Harlem will not only be serving the State in an honorable capacity, but, they will be building up a whole-ome interest in their active life, that will return dividends of health and enjoyment. RELIEF FOR IRELAND. It is not singular that the movement to promote American Relief for Ireland should strike a responsive chord among the colored people of this city. There is enough similarity in the cause of the Irish people seeking for liberty in Ireland and the efforts of the Negro people seeking for justice in America to arouse a fellows feeling that should make each race kind to the other. This feeling was attested by several contributions recently made to the fund for American Relief for Ireland by prominent individuals of the race. Among the contributions reported were the following: Mrs. Lelia Walker 'Milson,' $100; Counselor J. Frank Wheaton, $50; Counselor John William Smith, $15; Dr. Gustavus Henderson, $10. We have mentioned these individual contributions to emphasise the fact that members of our race have looked beyond the immediate necessities and constant appeals of racial interest, which we have with us always, to manifest a sympathy and give a helping hand to the sufferers of another race in a similar plight. This is an evidence of broadness and helpfulness beyond racial lines, that is an evidence of racial growth. Our sympathy with worthy causes should not be limited by racial boundaries, and the name of Irish relief in observance of the same should be mentioned. a copy of "The Searchlight," pub- lisingly the official organ of the Ku- gee of this particular issue of "The table columns of editorial matter em- mor of these articles the National Assoc- Colored People is referred to speci- knowledges that the K.

Attorney's Office, Tremont and Arthur avenues, the Bronx. THE COLEMAN CASE. The ends of justice appear to have been sufficiently served by the sentence of thirteen months at Elmira Reformatory imposed upon Harold Coleman on the serious charge bourn against him. That this defendant received so comparatively light punishment was due to the efficient manner in which his case was handled by his new attorney, Howard C. Dickinson, who ably presented the mitigating circumstances surrounding the alleged assault. Mr. Dickinson, who is a white lawyer associated with the firm of Thorne & Co. of 84 Pine street, was brought into the case by Col. Little of the Fifteenth Regiment after Captain Marshall had exhausted his efforts in behalf of the defense. Mr. Dickinson gave his services without compensation, at the request of Col. Little, as the case appeared to be one in which prosecution might degenerate into persecution and a miscarriage of justice, unless all the facts were well and fairly presented to the court before sentence was imposed. The thanks of the community are due in large measure, to both Mr. Dickinson and Col. Little, for their efforts to secure the utmost leniency consistent with the ends of justice in this case. A PERENNIAL SUBJECT A subject of perennial interest, which bobs up for discussion every now and then, is the adoption of a name which shall be at once hitting, and appropriate to apply to the people of African extraction in American, meaning those whose origin is indicated by their hair or complexion. As far back at the publication of Freedom's Journal in 1827, we find this group of Americans referred to as the "people of color," while the term of blacks and "Negroes" were used as less euphemistic titles. Later on came the use of the hyphenated terms of "Anglo-African" and "Africa-American," the latter being trimmed to "Afro American," in which form it is still employed by the meticulous writers of both races. The hyphen has however, fallen into such disfavor as a racial designation in America, that it is doubtful if the term will ever regain the distinction it once enjoyed, when such journalists of the race as T. Thomas Fortune, Cyrus Field Adams and Harry C. Smith undertook an active campaign to popularize its use in both the racial and daily press. 'This condition of things has left the term "Negro," commonly but erroneously printed by most daily newspapers as a common word, with a lower case initial letter, as the general designation of the race. That this use of the term left something to be desired by members of both races, is shown by . letter received from a white writer in Alabama. Especially is this need felt by members of the race when the feminine derivation of "negress" is applied to colored women. The letter folows: To the Editor of Tug Acc: Mr. W. N. Work has advised me to write you, regarding the desirability of a more distinctive name for the Negro Race. Mr. Work sent me a year book in which I see the matter is referred to. There, the terms suggested are Afro-American, Colored or Negro as possibly suitable. The idea occurred to me that the word Afram, a compound of Afro-American, would be short and convenient. If you think it worth while you might discuss this in The Age. I am of the white race, but like many others in the South, I am interested in the well-being and development of a poor family. We are Wishing you success in your work I am. You're very true. WM. H. DORCHESTER, Lois Springs, Ala. The suggestion of "Afram" is a contraction of Afro-American, with continent is not new to those who up with this perennial discussion of titles, it having been made some years ago. When Afro-American was most in favor We fear that longs to that class of treak that have failed to win popular favor the "Hamite." "Cushite" and the long term "Librarian, which a Weer magazine is endeavoring to wilt up race. This leaves "Negro" and as the only everyday working man in the field, with the odds tae former as the stronger word than a proper noun, with a capital letter capable of becoming as great as the achievements of those who can make it. The Negro knew "Jam", who according to the man saved a complete stranger by burning or leaping from a window, was none the less cause his name did not appear.

Strong praise that designation may be correct we doubt if it can be construed in legal ground for exclusion. The Christian Recorder reminds us among the musical contributors to the service in this vein: The devil many times shows his presence at a divine service by a sermon or a whispered conversation in the mid-loft. Now, let the altos and sparrows good and the batses and partridges remember their dignity. Says the inquisitive editor of the frig- ment (Tex.) Monitor: "Some of our women certainly left a profound faith in the silver coin with a hole in it. Several days ago we saw one with several dimes around it but not. Is this one of the characters that togotten jungle? Let us examine what we live in a new age that is moved from such primitive upheaval. The Texas editor should keep in mind and remember that the Natl. Bank or Silk Bank may also be unable to small change. The Galveston City Trust is the following tribute to the late Cordell Gibbons: The death of Cardinal J. Gibbons removes from this earth a man of Christendom, who has a service unto Almighty God and the Catholic Church and for the benefit of humanity of the American nation. Cardinal Gibbons was a friend of our cred race. We pray peace unto him. This is a brief but careful statement that bears the stamp of all members of the race in saying amen to it. Commenting on a bulletin giving the final decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in the suit to determine the rival claims to the offices, fund and property of the Sub-Committee of the Sub-Committee of the Good United Odd Fellows, the Norfolk County Guide asks, "Has the Odd Fellows pute been settled?" It says: The Odd Fellows is one of the most interesting and most influential organizations we have and the interest of the society very largely in sympathy with the hope has been general—there is that the factions would get together and start all over again as one unit. That is the hope now, but the has not much to hold it up. Windom would dictate that the contest get together in accordance with the terms laid down by the Misa Bowden Raises $3,000. Miss A.

New York she conferred with cp Thomas F. Gaylor, preaching and Dr. Robert Patten, holding office of the American Institute, and was given an appropriation of $1,300 by the executive board of that organization. It is probable that school will be taken under control by the Institute and Dr. Patten will book the work over with that view. Miss Bowden came east specifically to raise the sum of $3,000 after achieving that object has returned to Texas to prepare for the commencement exercises. The women's institutes in various churches have responded娑性 and Miss Bowden was compiled to Collinia a number of invitations for the commencement of pressing duties in the institute. * The. * Row p of 2 | Realm ' are.

PRUWY, 3 THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS Comedy, Drama and Song Feature New Musical Show at Lafayette MUSICAL comedy is still on tap at the Lafayette Theatre with Quintard Miller's company in "Why Worry?" as the current attraction. Having closed the first week's engagement in a blaze of glory and the "standing room only" sign in action, a determined effort is being made to play to big business the second and last week. Some have expressed the opinion that "Why Worry?" is funnier than last week's production. One thing certainly sure, it is equally as funny. Some of the comedy is of the boisterous kind. Firearms are displayed and discharged with marked frequency, but such melodramatic stunts bring forth showers of laughter — the desired result is attained by the laugh-makers. B. B. Joyner and Billy Higginkeep the audience rocking with laughter. There are few dull moments, when they are on the stage. While some of the comedy situations are not new, the effective manner in which they are put over makes one forget they were born some time ago.

She is an energetic worker. Miss Lulu Whitty would be an acceptable subbette in any company. She sings and dances unusually well, is full of dash and has a pleasing personality. Together with his own lines, "Jimmy" Howell is taking care of Quintard Miller's during the illness of the latter. The hand-picked beauties in the chorus have been a factor in drawing big audiences to the Lafayette and are immensely popular in Harlem. On Wednesday evening of last week when members of The Association turned out in full force the young men during intermission after the first act, hastily arranged a reception for the girls after the show at Lafayette Hall on which occasion the Association members had a monopoly on all the dances. Those in the chorus of Scandal of 1921 are Misses Mildred Martien, Minerva Busch, "Billy" Kelly, Katie Thompson, Pearl Madie, Marie Reach, Ida Archer, Florence Fultz, Larletta Reache, Elizabeth Greene, Ruby Campbell, Eric Fletcher, Louise Gordon, Droothy Scott, Healer Watson, Helen West, Louise Jackson, Ethel Jennings and Droothy Howard. the marvelous, scenic reproduction of a train to sing through a wild prairie fire, one of the most realistic settings ever on the Lafayette stage. This will be the last appearance of the Lafayette Players in Harlem for a number of weeks, and devouts of drama will doublehurt turn out in large numbers to show that New York is an enthusiastic for the players as theatre-goers are in Philadelphia and Washington. In the cast will appear Andrew Bishop, Oleo Demond, J. L. Crane, Edna Lewis, H. L. Trout, Elizabeth Williams, Kate Kearney, Jackson, Irene Coulson and Eileen Tile. Matches during the week will be on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Bayon Broo Saxo Band as Majestic, Jersey City, N. J. Johnny Hudgins at Gayety, Minneapolis, Minn. The Boys of the C. V. B.

A special crowd assembled at New Caraum on Friday evening, April 10, to witness the exhibition of dancing by Mrs. Amanda Kemp's pupils, including her famous Dancing Doll. Music was furnished by the 15th Regiment band, with Mrs. Mamie Shelton at piano. An elaborate program was presented opening with the baby class in "The Dancing Doll," a bandman, with little Elaine Dain, singer and popper song of that name, and closing with the elven Kens and her Dancing Doll. Two nightlight numbers were presented by the elf one of them, the "Dancing Doll" Ministry, consisting of eleven additional individual members. The children showed results attained from spiritual training and some talented Little ones took part in the entertainment Gus Creagh's Dance. Everything is in readiness for the big dance at the New Star Casino on Friday night, April 8th. Most of the boxes have been sold. Guy Cressham has had a rapid rise in his circles. His orchestra has played at some of the most successful dance of the season and most of the big kettleball games. Refer to the orchestra made a big hit at Arthur Allman's dance in Philadelphia, and is in demand in many places outside of the city. Constitution for Basketball Aasm. At a meeting of the Manhattan Basketball Association held at the Alpha Club on Thursday night, March 31st, a constitution was adopted by the delegates of the clubs present. The clubs that had paid their admission fee at this meeting are to be the charter members of the association. All of the leading clubs, of the district have paid this fee with the exception of the B.A.C. of Lafayette, and the club has given assurance of paying this fee within the next five days. The constitution, as read, and adopted, provided for a league composed of the members clubs, and prohibits players from one inter club playing with any other club, do any the same season. It also states that any player known to have played professionally back-call would not be allowed to play any member club. Fires, suspension or punishment may be the penalty for clubs trailing to comply with the rules of the Association. After the adoption of the constitution, a resolution was passed condemning the playing on All-Star teams of individual players of member clubs without the consent of the Association. The action of the players who formed an All-Star team, Orange N. J., next week was especially important. Before adjourning the members decided to hold a regular, monthly meeting on the annual Monday of each month.

HAMPTON GRADUATES TO GIVE ATHLETIC FIELD Hampton, Va.-Hampton Institute graduates and ex-students are raising money to build and equip a modern athletic field. The idea that the graduates and ex-students of Hampton should equip an athletic field, with grandstand, quarter- mile track, 220-yard straight-away, football and baseball fields, was introduced last January at a meeting of the executive committee of the Alumni Association. The committee voted to support the proposition. It suggested plans for a campaign that will reach every Hampton graduate and ex-student. Sixty leading graduates and ex-students, who have been asked to serve on the athletic field committee and to give their financial and moral support, are responding in a most liberal way. Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, pledged the first $1,000 toward the field for the Hampton graduates and ex-students who are working at Hampton have pledged more than $1,500. Hampton students have pledged nearly $1,000. The field will cost more than $30,000. The committee, has arranged to have the payment of July 1921 made field half, on before July 1921, second half, on before July 1, 1922. HOWARD BEATS LINCOLN IN BIG GAME AT ORANGE Orange, N.

This accident resulted in Lincoln playing extensive ball throughout the first half. Although hacking in team work the Washington five made several field goals this half, while Lincoln made only one. Both sides did a great deal of jouling the first half, and showed very little team work. The half ended with the score 10 to 7 in Wheatsland's favor.

At the end of the 12 minutes of play the score would be 27 in favor of the Institute group. The team had a system of workouts that the Willisforge guard could not break me. They had passing inside the back down to interception and time after from the last would pass across the back they did not under the back.

Very sincerely yours, MARY CHURCH TERRELL Here are the facts concerning the Washington meeting, I was in Washington on Feb. 18th, attending the meeting called by Mrs. Addie W. Hunton and Mrs. Terrell and I talked over the March 3rd meeting. I told her then I feared a previous pressing meeting would prevent my attendance, but I would see that the state was well represented. On Feb. 18th, I received the following letter from Mrs. Terrell: 1615 S. St., N. W. Washington, D. C. Feb. 16, 1921 Please make a special effort to attend the meeting of our Republican organization which you will be held here March 3rd. We will have an all-day session and I am sure matters needing your assistance and cooperation will come up for discussion. Although you have already been notified by Mrs. Fleming, I am writing to urge you to make a sacrifice, if necessary to attend the meeting. I want to have the Eastern Division as well represented as possible. Mrs. Fleming will send you the program which she is having printed in Cleveland. The meeting will be held in the John Wesley A. M. E. Church. Please come if you possibly can. And on Feb. 20th, the following letter from Mrs. Lethia C. Flerning: February 19, 1921. 2342 East 40th St. Cleveland, O. Mrs. Florence Randolph, 96 Astor Place, Jersey City, N. J. My dear Mrs. Randolph: I wish to add to the invitation. I am sure you have received from the Eastern Director, Mrs. Mary Church Terrall, a special invitation to attend the meeting of political workers who helped to put over the political program of last fall. The meeting will be held at the John Wesley A. M. E. Church, corner 14th and R. strenza, at 10:30 a.m. Washington, D.C. Trusting that you will be able to attend this meeting, I be to remain National Director Assigned to Work Among Colored Women. If Mrs. Terrell did not acknowledge or recognize my leadership or the State Committee's appointment, why write me the above letters or invite me to the meeting? With my leadership acknowledged and my presence desired, I informed her whom my representatives would be in the following letter: @ Astor Place, Jersey City, N. J. Feb. 23rd, 1921.

I think I explained to you that because of a very pressing previous engagement it would be impossible for me to attend, which I very much regret. However, four women will represent the State of New Jersey. I will be represented by Mrs. Ida E. Brown of Jersey City, who will be present to fill my place as far as possible. Hudson County will be represented by Mrs. Bertha Oliver, county chairman, Union County, Miss Violet Johnson, county chairman; Essex County, Mrs. Mary E. Burrell, county chairman. I haven't words to express how much I regret my inability to attend such an important meeting. However, I am on the "job" attending the Legislature every Monday all day and doing all I can to help put over three bills affecting our rights as American citizens. I wish for the meeting every success. Please explain to Mrs. Figning, or hand her this letter. Very truly yours. FLORENCE RANDOLPH. Which the aforementioned worthy women presented their credentials, they were told that they were not properly signed. Why was I not informed by proper authorities, when their names were sent, by whom the credentials should be signed? Granted, the credentials were not properly signed, but knowing by personal information they were the accredited delegates, would it not have been justifiable and in the interest of harmony to have used the authority to relieve the situation rather than empathize and humiliate the good women sent? A member of Mr. Tervell's the ending of the campaign ended our committee, work and hence was not aware of the importance of this national organized body which accounts perhaps for the mistake with the credentials. At this crucial time when the need of harmony among Negro women is so great, we would not expect such a course from a woman of superior ability and training. And now, where is the glory? Who derived any benefit from the affair? What was accomplished? Nothing, save that four women who had served faithfully through the campaign were insulted and discouraged after sacrificing to respond to Mrs. Terrell's call. I deplored the fact that I was not able to affend such an important meeting because of pressing church duties, for I was really anxious to be present, but now I thank God I was spared the humiliation, and only regret that I delegated four of my valuable co-workers to be present. This article is contrary to my religious teaching, but it is not for myself—only in defense of the four delegates. FLOREENCE, RANDOLPH State leader of the Colored Republican Women of New Jersey, and President of the N. J. State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. St. Mark's M. E. Church.

During his discourse, Dr. Wragg said in part, that there is no power so great as the power wielded by godly people. The way of the transgressor is hard, but godly people can teach the transgressor the way to procure forgiveness; for his transgressions by pointing the way to Jesus Christ. Continuing he said that we can do all things through him, who strengthens us. In the evening, Rev G. E. Raymond was the speaker and preached a thrilling sermon, taking as his text, St. John, 14th chapter, and 14th verse. Theme: "Christ comforteth His disciples."

He gave a detailed impression of conditions existing in the South out of which the Peoritage System grew. After describing the recent slaughter of poets in Georgia he pointed out some hopeful aspects of the situation. One of these was that the matter had been brought to light, which was the first step toward reform. Another was that the authorities, state and federal, were taking hold of the matter in earnest. At his request telegrams were sent to President Harding, Governor Dorsey, Senator Wadsworth, and others touching the matter. At 7 P. M., Dr. Royal S.

OUR COLORED CHILDREN'S WELFARE Fathers, Mothers, Brothers, Cousins, Uncles, and what in Please Take Notice of These Remarks. In the life of every race and creed of people, in their struggle against injustice and hate, in their struggle for economic recognition, and in every phase of their existence, their power to attain those things necessary for their survival depends and will ever depend upon the caring for and developing of their children. Any race of people who neglects in this day, the proper developing of their children and expect their racial and proper recognition, might as well try to stop the waters that flow into New York Bay. SO THEREFORE: Colored Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, and Brothers, there is a grand and noble racial movement that has been started under the leadership of Mrs. Albert Sydney Reed. This movement is known as "Harlem's Children's Welfare Center," with the specific purpose to care for and develop our Colored children; to prevent them from being continuously before the Children's Court; to preserve and foster their morals, and to relieve the distress which is so prevalent with many Mothers who have worthless, good-for nothing husbands, those kind of men who don't care a tinkerer's d... about their own flesh and blood when their cruel animal-beat-like passions are active. Harlem's Children's Welfare Center is one of the grandest and most noble efforts started by any of our broad souled citizens, such Mrs. Albert S. Reed and her co-workers, and therefore, it should be the loyal and racial duty of everyone of us to stand behind this movement, and so help it with our time and money as to make the campaign for the raising of $100,000 a shining mark of success. There is no need for you and me to complain that we have no money. The Harlem Child's Welfare Center is going to give a series of entertainments and other things for the raising of funds, and it will be your duty to attend and contribute to everyone of these entertainments and movements that the said Harlem Child's Welfare will give. By doing this your ten and fifteen cents will go towards the raising of the allotted quota, namely $100,000.... The time has come, Mr. Colored Man and Women, whether you be a Mother, Father, Brother or Sister, when you will have to provide better than you have in the past for your offspring. Unless we prepare and care for our children better than we have in the past, we might as well forget all the talk about racial equality, for we would have as much chance to get it as we would have to turn night into day. And in conclusion, Colored Public, many of us have laid down our savings in business enterprises. Some of us are trying to build big and powerful business enterprises. We must do this in order that we build a better quotin for the young ones of the future. But it would be all a waste of time for us to build large commercial enterprises, unless we give better care for our children that they may be better able to take up the ground from where we lay it down. So for God's sake men and women, support this movement, the Child's Welfare Center. It is a 100 per cent needed and noble cause. For the foundation of the race future program will be absolutely dependent on the children of today. There fore it in our duty to care for them. N. B. Those who are interested in this Harlem's Child Welfare movement will please write to its headquarters at 180 West 136th Street, Mrs. Albert S. Read, director. Don't write to the writer of the above article but write to the headquarters as is mentioned. Mrs. J. B.

Paid workers are transient. It is the committee leadership that sustains any organization and the membership spirit that constitutes its soul. Our Brooklyn "Y" is the fortune in having, through thirteen years of building, developed path of these assets very well.
