Specific responsibility for disorders in Haitt is laid to the gendarmerie, which "added and encouraged by the American Occupation," is charged with having imposed the course, or slave labor, and ob having "caused the result known as the revolt of the Cacos, for the repression of which so many unless atrocities were committed by the marines."

SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1921 Objection to a label placed on boxes of dates sold in Greater New York by the firm of Charles & Co., the label bearing the words "Nigger Brand," was expressed in a letter to that firm by L. Hollingsworth Wood of 20 Nassau street. Mr. Wood, who is well known through his activity in social service circles, and who is affiliated with several of the inter-racial social service and welfare organizations of the community, said in his letter to Charles & Co. that the label was "offensive to something like twelve million of the population of the United States and a considerable group of their white sympathizers like myself." He did not believe, that it added to the selling merit of the goods and he declared that "we owe it to our country to try to eliminate the very petty details which make friction."

I have been for a number of year a patron of your very excellent establishment, as had my father before me. It does not seem to be possible that this label, which is offensive to something like twelve million of the population of the United States and a considerable group of their white sympathizers like myself, can add greatly to the selling merit of the excellent dates contained in the boxes; and I am wondering if you would not make an attempt to have this changed, either by the importer, or whoever is the responsible person. I feel that we owe it to our country to try to eliminate the very petty details which make friction. (Signed) L.

The Bronx, on Sunday last, he was knocked down, his resolver taken from him as he attempted to draw and used as a club to heat him over the head. Guy A. Barke, a young colored man whose address is given as 146 West 98th street, and who is said to be a bell boy at the Hotel Ansonia, is held as the assailant. The police officer saw the crowd and wanted to know what held its interest. As he was not in uniform, it is thought that he was not recognized as an officer and his pushing and shoving was resented. Another patrolman, arrested Barke and haled him to the Morrisania police court.

Wage reductions sought by almost one hundred railroads were objected to before the Railroad Labor Board on May 2nd by a statement from dinar car employees on the New York, New Haven and Hartford, Kientri B. Lennix, a waiter, placed that wages were already at the irreducible minimum and protected against further reductions. He deplored the low wages paid to chefs and cooks, so he said received as low as $6.5 a month. "Careless, incompetent, underpaid, third cooks require so much supervision by chefs and second cooks as to detract from their own efficiency," Lennix declared. George Scott of the Railway Men's Benevolent Industrial Association, entered a protest against reductions in pay in behalf of Negro railway employees. lance to a certain point near Pearland Dr. Cockrell was found in a vacant house near that city and brought back to St. Joseph's Infirmary, this city where he was questioned by Mayon Holcomb City Attorney Sewall Myer and police officials. He made the follow- ing statement. "I, with my wife and some friends, was driving in my car on Conti street between Hardy and McKeen streets, about 11:30 o'clock Sunday morning when two large cars drove up, one of which. I think, was a Velie. I did not notice anything out of the way until the cars stopped. Several men got out and covered me and my party with drawn revolvers. I was ordered to get out of my car under pain of instant death. The men were not masked." Continuing, he said, that he was thrown into one of the cars and taken to the vacant house. Three or four other cars were heard, but he was blindfolded and so could tell who occupied them. Bound so that he could not move, a can of ether was opened and he was rendered unconscious. Physicians at the hospital say that the operative was performed by a skullfull surgeon and that Cockrell had been rendered completely sterile.

Possessing personal charm and giving promise of being a worthy exponent of dramatic art, Miss Moore should make an enviable reputation before footlights were she to take acting seriously. She received several beautiful floral pieces from relatives and friends. Greenley, and Drayton, Harlem favorites, were compelled to work overtime so pleased was the audience with their dancing. A big hand was given each man. Nat Nazarro, Jr., and Jazz Band came up to Harlem to show colored musicians in particular that there are other zazzars.

HENRY LASSITER DEAD Koenig Honor Years Ser Ten years as president of the New York Republican County Committee brought to Samuel S. Koenig the honor of being guest at a testimonial dinner given by more than 1,500 friends, at the Hotel Aslor, Monday evening, May 9th. Democrats joining with Republicans in paying tribute to a distinguished party leader, Women, state and Federal officials and private citizens were present. Representative Ogden L. Mills presided and in the course of a tribute to the guest of honor declared that under Koenig's leadership the Republican party had agonized to such proportions it was able to challenge the Democrats on equal terms. He declared that there were 40,000 more Republicans than Democrats enrolled in Manhattan. Senator James W. Wadsworth, Jr., Senator William M. Cailer, Helen Varick Bockwell, chairman of the women's division and Chas E. Hoydt, chairman of the dinner committee of the Republican County Committee, also spoke.

Gilpin of "The Emperor Jones" fame. The reception accorded Mr. Gilpin upon his first appearance must have warned the cockles of his heart. It brought to mind that here is one striking instance that a prophet is not without honor in his own country. Mr. Gilpin rendered his masterpiece, "Uncle Remus at the Races' greatly amusing his hearers with his impersonation of an old man who attended the races to see his son ride and who did a little 'laying of a bat' on the side. He, too, found it necessary to acknowledge the prolonged applause showered upon him at the close of his act. Maxie McKree, who came to New York with the Montgomery show less than year ago and was instantly put into service by white producers, contributed a lovely flanking turn, winning many admirable roles. The program was concluded by the children of W.C. Handy showing that there are others talented in the family besides their well-known father. The three girls sang songs compose by Mr. Handy, and the boy proved himself already a xylo, one player of no little ability. Help For Girls and Boys Between the fourth and fifth acts Mr. Moore made a short talk asking the public to give moral and financial support to the three deserving institutions for which the benefit was given. He then introduced Colonel Little, who in a happy vein, emphasized the duty of the public in assisting to maintain the Katy Ferguson-Sojourner Truth Houses and the Boy's Welfare Association. The Lafayette Theatre management, at the instance of E. C. Brown, did everything to help make the benefit a success. The cashiers in the boxoffice, the ushers, stage hands, and all attaches of the house rendered valuable assistance. Among those to assist Mr. Moore in disposing of tickets were Mrs. L. Henson, Mrs. Wilson of the Katy guson House, Mrs. Ida L. Moore, Gladys Walton, Mrs. Ginsic C Mrs. E. P. Roberts, Mrs. C. J. E. and M. Hattie Roberts. Special to THE NEW YORK A Washington, D. C.

County President Koenig expressed gratitude at being the recipient of such a splendid tribute, and expressed a keen sense of satisfaction at the fact that so many Democrats were present. He said further: "In the contest between parties for party supremacy and success, bitter feelings and unkind thoughts are oft times aroused, but underlying it all there is a regard, among real men, for one's opponents when the fighting is clean and the hitting above the belt.

Hundreds of these lacey each of which contains nineteen garments, are being sent overseas for the relief of newborn babies who are now being wrapped in newspapers and old rags for want of anything better. The Harlem volunteers will also assist in making conservation garments for the older children of Europe. New York has been asked to provide 75,000 of the two million garments needed, and for want of new materials is making attractive clothing from old garments contributed by interested people. Boys' suits are being cut from old shirts, girls' dresses from men's discarded shirts and babies coats from what were once tennis troopers. CONGRESSMAN L. C. DYER SPEAKS TO HARLEMITES Congressman L.

Home Economics, Agricultural Industries THE ISSUE IN HOUSTON. Under the headline of "A Call to the Law," the Houston, Tex., Press made a stirring appeal against invisible government, as outlined by the Ku Klux Klan and other organizations of thugs and gangsters. It sums up the existing situation in that town in these words: "Whether these shall be law and older or matchy and mob rule in Houston has suddenly become the BIG Issue." The immediate cause of this latest excitement was the kidnapping of a Negro dentist on the Sunday previous, who was taken to a vacant house by his capers and maltreated in a manner not tolerated in civilized countries. The cause assigned for this brutality was the fact that the dentist had been fined recently in the county court, on a charge involving a white woman. The details of the case were not given, but the legal penalty for the alleged offence seemed to have been paid by the fine imposed. The police and the sheriff are charged with indifference to this and other outrages committed by gangs of armed men, acting without legal authority. The mayor on the other hand denounced mob rule and declared that he would "change the whole police force if necessary," to put a stop to this violence by gangsters. The Press upholds the mayor in this determination and calls upon the sheriff and the district, attorney and the grand jury to maintain the law. "More than all that," continues the Press, "it is up to every man and woman in all this county who believes in law and order to rally to the forces of law and order, to be unafraid when the law that protects their home and babies is challenged. "This self-constituted, clandestine government that has set its self up in the midst of a free people must perish or we must admit the law has failed—that it is too weak to cope with small hands organized for the express purpose of defying the law." With a stalwart mayor backed up by such strong newspaper sentiment as the above, Houston should be able to rally the forces of right to the maintenance of law and order. WHEN SYMPATHY COUNTS. The correspondence between Mr. L. Hollingsworth Wood and the firm of Charles and Company, over the impropriety of offering for sale a brand of glaze with the label, "Nigger Brand," is highly creditable to both parties. Mr. Wood is to be commended for his sympathetic attitude in directing the attention of the turn to the offensiveness of the label. It illustrates the good that can be done by a friendly word from a sympathizer of another race. The response of the seller of the article was equally gratifying in that it recognized the fact that the complaint was justified and that notice to that effect would be passed along to the foreign shipper, "as it will naturally be an offensive label to Americans." The whole incident illustrates the effectiveness of true American sentiment, when aroused, in dealing with pin pricks of prejudices. MAYOR HYLAN DISAPPOINTS. It is to be regretted that Mayor Hylan suddenly developed a desire for such strict economy in municipal expenditures, that he found it necessary to disapprove the bill providing for an additional municipal court in Haslem. His Honor pleaded in justification of his action that the establishment of the new court not only required the election of an additional magistrate, but the provision of a suitable court house and the appointment of court clerks and attendants. All of this would involve additional expense to the city, which is already hard put to find funds to cover the expenses already incurred This is all very true, but there existed exceptional reasons for the establishment of the new court in Harlem, which the mayor seemingly failed to take into consideration. Not only were the existing courts so congested with rent law cases, that immediate relief was urged in the interest of the proper administration of justice, but the new court was expected to open the magistrate's bench to the colored citizens of Harlem. From the number of qualified candidates of the legal profession, it was confidently expected that one of the race would be nominated and chosen as the polls to fill the position of magistrate. Keen disappointment among the citizens of Harlem has followed upon the Mayor's action in this matter. His rebellion to exercise the powers of his office by forbidding the revival of the vipers may now be unimaginable. has also disappointed those who relied on his sense of justice and fair play. The belated plea of economy and the denial of power to stop wrong doing are poor arguments to gain votes. The Mayor has disappointed many who believed him equal to the opportunities offered him. A WRECKER OF MORALS In the New Sign, a small sheet published weekly by the West 135th Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, there appeared last week an editorial entitled "Destruction vs. Construction" signed by the Executive Secretary. In this article the writer tells of his observation of the work of the wreckers who tear down buildings. It is perfectly natural that the work of tearing down and destroying material things should interest Mr. Taylor, as he is at present engaged in the task of wrecking the morals and lowering the moral standards of a useful institution, designed to promote the welfare of the young men of Harlem. Deaf to warning and advice, Mr. Taylor for months persisted in a course of conduct, which evoked wholesale criticism from the community. The majority of the local board of management, aroused to the harm threatened the organization, by the secretary's defiance of all conventional restraints, sought to clear the situation by separating Mr. Taylor from the work. This effort to save the institution was frustrated through the action of the Central Board of Directors in upholding Mr. Taylor and practically ignoring the moral issues involved. In view of the foregoing facts the following paragraph from the Executive Secretary's editorial possesses unusual significance: And so we find in life, men are either tearing down or building up. A peculiar thing about the man, who tears down, he starts at the top, the highest position that he holds during the period that he 'labora', and the harder he works the lower he gets until he has finally passed below the level of man he sinks into the hole of prison, the final goal of all "weckers." We fear that Mr. Taylor has indicated the final results of the course he is pursuing as a wrooker of morals only too truly. THEY TALK TOO MUCH We have been told of a small class of shopkeepers in the Harlem district, who make the better part of their profits by selling to Negroes, but who harbor the meanest kind of color prejudice. Restrained from exhibiting this sentiment to their dark skinned customers, for fear of 'losing profitable trade', they give vent to their true sentiments, upon the entrance of a customer of lighter hue, supposedly white. Deploring their hard lot in being compelled to wait upon "niggers" all day, these syncophantic prejudice mongers express their pleasure at meeting a white countenance for a change. The newspaper embarrassed by this revolting show of hypocritical intolerance is often at a loss how to proceed. Whether to complete the purchase intended and leave to return no more, or to avoid identity with the columnaized race and refuse to deal with the pander to prejudice. An awakening is coming to this class of shopkeepers, who persist in backbiting their best customers. They talk too much for their own good. A larger degree of silence on racial distinctions would be more becoming to their position, and enable them to serve their customers better. Business before prejudice should be their motto. --- HARLEM'S AID TO EUROPE. The announcement that twenty-two colored women are giving regular volunteer service at the Harlem Red Cross workroom is significant of the widening of the bonds of sympathy that cross continents and stimulate all races to unite in teh relief of suffering humanity. The special task engaging the activities of these Harlem workers is to help the New York County Chapter of the Red Cross to make layettes for the labors of Central Europe. These newborn babies are now being wrapped in newspapers and old rags for lack of anything better. Hundreds of layettes, each containing nineteen garments, are being sent overseas, for the relief of these infant sufferers. As the colored men of Harlem contributed their share toward saving Europe from being overrun by the modern Huns, it is entirely in keeping that the women of the race should do their share toward the protection of helpless infancy from dying of exposure. Increased interest in race literature is indicated by the following news item from Louisville, Ky., published in the Pittsburgh American: Librarian George T. Settle has recently added to the Negro branches of the city libraries a big list of colored publications and a considerable number of the works of Negro authors. The action of the library official has been indorsed by the local city authorities. This is a gratifying recognition of the important part that literary effort plays in racial development. Efforts should be made to promote similar additions to both public and private libraries in all parts of the country. Ex-Governor Sidney J. Catts of Florida has been indicated by a grand jury in that state on the charge of having accepted a bribe for pardoning a prisoner during his term as governor. Gov Catts was notorious for his opposition toward the progress of the Negroes in his State. One of the witnesses against him was a Negro life sermon, who it is claimed, acted as a go-between in handling the bribe dumpy,案名〔1〕。 THE NEW YORK AGR SATURDAY; MAY 14, 1921 VIEWS and REVIEWS By James Weiden Johnson, Contributing Editor "THE BIRTH OF A NATION" AGAIN. That most vicious moving picture play, "The Birth of a Nation" is again being produced in New York. The opening night was made a gala event for unreconstructed Rebels. Negro haters and professional Southerners. The Capitol Theatre was profusely decorated with Confederate flags draped with the Stars and Stripes. Mr. Griffiths, the producer, with a party of friends occupied a box, and during the intermission the spotlight was thrown on the box while Mr. Griffiths arose and acknowledged the plaudits of the audience. The picture as now, being presented is, so far as the Negro is concerned, the same picture that aroused the indignation of the entire race six years ago. Mr. Rothafel, the proprietor has promised officers of the N. A. A. C. P. who had sought to prevent the production that about 2,500 feet of scenes most objectionable to colored people would be cut out, but the promise was not kept, there were the same old unfair, untrue and revolting scenes. Whatever other reasons there may be for the revival of "The Birth of a Nation" at this particular time I believe that one of the reasons is a determination to offset the shocking revelations that have just come out of Georgia. The whole country has been stirred by the accounts of barbarious brutalities committed in connection with the Jasper County peonage cases; now comes this picture to instill the idea that no matter how brutally the Negro in the South is treated, there are justifications for the treatment. "The Birth of a Nation" has been lauded as a great masterpiece of screen art. As a spectacle it is a great picture. Its photography has been improved upon only very little in the last six years, since it was first produced. It was the first American made film in which masses were handled with a high degree of technical skill, and in that respect it has not been surpassed by any subsequent picture made in this country. But it is not art; it is propaganda, and propaganda of the worst and most insidious sort. The power of, "The Birth of a Nation" to do us damage is not due so much to the text that it portrays the Negro in a bad light as it is due to the fact that it pretends to be history. The unknowing and unthinking spectator—and the majority of moving picture spectators are both unknowing and unthinking—does not feel that he is witnessing the portrayal of a story but a portrayal of the truth. It is not necessary to state that the Dixon-Griffith picture not only misrepresents but distorts and falsifies history. Not in the whole picture is there a single let up on the bitterness against the Negro. Not in the hundreds of black characters used is there a single decent Negro character. The only relief is offered in a couple knee-bending, boot-licking servants who insist upon remaining slaves, and who are programmed, "The Loyal Souls." Only one side of slavery is depicted. All of its hideousness and savagery is omitted. One would gather from this picture that slavery was 'a benevolent' and uplifting institution. The lazy, blood-sweating, slave-holding southern aristocracy is paraded in the picture as the most noble productions of America, while men who fought to preserve the Union and to abolish slavery are held up to ridicule and even worse. It is a wonder to me that protest against this picture has been left almost entirely to the Negro. It is true that the Negro is the most misrepresented and most maligned victim; but there are other misrepresentations and libels. The whole Union cause is misrepresented. Secession is justified and glorified, and prehaps the main object of the picture is to carry the idea that the North made a great mistake in fighting the South and abolishing slavery. The only character of the Union cause not held up to ridicule is that of Abraham Lincoln, and of course, even the producers of the "Birth of a Nation" had sense enough to know that they could not go so far as to defame Lincoln; but they emphasize the impression that had Lincoln lived his sympathies would have been with the South. When I watched this picture for the first time just a few days ago, I sat wondering how Northern white American citizens, aside from the gross libel upon a whole group of loyal Americans, could sit calmly and watch this justification of enemies and traitors who could applaud the planting of the rebel flag upon Union ramparts and the temporary defeat of men who were defending the nation's flag. I wondered why there were not enough red-blooded Americans present to rise up and protest against the whole business' This especially applies to New York City) 'The Capitol Theatre is decorated with Confederate flags. Every time the band blares out "Dixie there is applause. There seems to be a set of people in New York who think it is "classy" to be regarded as southerners. The southerner boasts so much of his superior aristocracy—and generally this claim to superior aristocracy is bolstered up by the boast of having had a black mammy—that many of these Northerners who have never been south of the Potomac River are Professional Southerners. They are the people who most generally begin to applaud "Dixie" as soon as the first strains are played. Another feature of the audience at the Capitol Theatre was its dense ignorance of facts that ought to be known. The audience was made up very largely of Jews and most likely a large number of Irish people, and all wildly applauded the riding of the Ku Klux Klan, regarding them, no doubt, as chivalrous knights of mercy, and not knowing that the revived Ku Klux Klan is as much anti-Jewish and anti-Catholic as it is anti-Negro. "The Birth of a Nation" ought to be stopped, not only because it insults and libels colored Americans but also because it is injecting into the body of the nation the same poison that sought to destroy it in 1860. "CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?"—YES. Under the heading. "Can You Believe It?" the National Republican printed an article in a recent issue calling attention to the fact that at Troy, Ala., the seat of the State Normal College, a marble monument had been erected with the following inscription: The National Republican could not believe that this story was true. So it went to the pains of making an investigation that it found it to be absolutely true. I judge that we know the South a little better than does the National Republican and so we should hardly question the story even without an investigation to corroborate it. We know that the majority of southerners are as reconstructive today as they were fifty years ago. The North, of course, is easy going on this whole question of sectionalism while the South is most insistent. It is likely that most Northern people simply do not want to be bothered about it. They have other things which they consider more important to know about; but it seems like carrying complacency too far to allow a monument to be erected as a memorial to the occasion of the ROLAND HAYES HONORED. A dispatch from London tells that Roland Hayes, the eminent colored tenor who has been in Europe singing for some months, was summoned to Buckingham Palace recently where he sang beforeKing George and the Royal Family. The dispatch states that the King presented Mr. Hayes with a diamond pin. This is a signal honor and stirs a feeling of pride in the breast of every member of the race. It appears that the songs which made the greatest impression upon the King were the old Negro spirituals. He is reported as saying that they were so different from what he had been led to believe were characteristic Negro melodies. We are not at all surprised that the King was impressed by the singing of these old melodies by Mr. Hayes, for no one can sing them more beautifully and more effectively than he.

A writer in the New York Times, commenting on the funing of the keeper of a Greenwich Village tea room in account of his refusal to serve a party of four on account of their color, calls it "a triumph likely to be regretted." This reasons for taking, this short sighted view of the matter are stated as follows. Sensible Negroes and the sensible friends of Negroes, instead of rejoicing that four or five black folk have just brought about in this city the funing of the keeper of a tea room who refused to serve them, will regret that this vindication of a legal right has been achieved. Of course, the law is clear, and, the fact of refusal to serve having been proved, the court could do nothing but inflict the fine. The triumph of the ininstent four, however, will not change the fact that white sentiment here is overwhelmingly against the close association of the two races in places of public entertainment, and should the example and the success of these litigants lead others of their color to make a similar assertion of their rights in hotels and restaurants, they certainly will create an amount and kind of feeling, which will be neither profitable to the black folk nor conductive to their welfare. Everybody has rights that is is unwise to exercise, but what always is wise to live at peace with one's neighbors if it can be done without too much inconvenience and with no real sacrifice of honor or dignity. Also, as a general rule, it is well not to go where one is unwelcome, even when the lack of welcome is due to prejudice. To do it only makes the prejudices stronger—and, if anything, to turn it into a reasonable dislike. In the first place, it is not a fact that "white sentiment here is overwhelmingly against the close association of the two races in places of public entertainment." Where "white sentiment" has had the opportunity to observe that Negroes at table neither swallow their knives nor drink from the finger bowls, the observers have returned to their mutions, so to speak, and ceased to wonder at the colored visitors. The closeness of association that is involved by partaking of food in the same room, or even at the same table, is a matter of opinion. Those who of necessity have had to eat often at public places find very little closeness or association. The trouble with the Times writer is that he is full of the egotistic notion that Negroes go to places of public accommodation merely for the pleasure or privilege, as he deems it, of associating or rather being served in company with white people. He probably cannot conceive that they go to such places primarily for the service, as a matter of necessity or convenience. When a Negro finds himself in the locality of Wall street or Jefferson Market at meal time, he cannot lay aside business engagements, and he himself to the colored restaurants of Harlem to get a square meal. As to visiting the Village tea rooms it is to be supposed that sociologists of color experience the craving for personal investigation to the same extent as their white compers. Are they to be denied the privilege of entering the candle lit interiors and testing the varieties of spaghetti offered to the cognac centi? By no means. It is only through such occasional appearance in places of public entertainment that "white sentiment" can be educated into the fact that Negroes are not a tribe of anthropophagai, but plain everyday Americans, whose table manners are equal to, it not a little better, than the average. A REIGN OF TERROR One reason why "peonage practice covers Georgia like the boll woevil and like the dew," according to the Savannah Tribune, is the difficulty of securing evidence sufficient to convict because of the fear and terror instilled into the Victims. The reason for this fear and the difficulty of getting testimony in simple. The type of Negro who becomes the victim of peonage conditions and cannot escape it, is simple, untrained and lacking in experience. His horizon is measured by the adjoining plantations or little town nearest his abode. He knows, and has had chance to know, every little of the great world beyond the plantation where he has been confined; and he does not believe and does not see how he can escape the fury and wrath of the farm "boss" against whom he testifies. He knows from experience, the fate of other "Niggers who told tales": he has seen the "boss" send the county bailiff to the city and bring back the "trawaay Nigger"; and he shrinks for his wife and his children and his kindred if he succeeds the displeasure of the "boss"; he has felt the lash, he has had his earnings taken away by the mere act of juggling figures on the books; he knows it means any fate up to death to dispute a white man's account or question his word. He knows, that any good thing which he may possess, a good farm, a good horse, a good cow, must be turned over on the white man to deliver it, and with little cost. In fact, we know of our own knowledge that the word of the public folks even unto the younger children of the "boss" family is more powerful than law. The system, based on force and the man, is more punishing and pitiless than the hypothesis of the omen. In tells that Roland Hayes, the eminent singer in Europe singing for some months, Graham Palace recently where he sang Royal Family. At the King presented Mr. Hayes with signal honor and stirs a feeling of pride over of the race. Us which made the greatest impression Negro spirituals.

Let the State authorities, backed by the decent white sentiment of the South, substitute the reign of justice for the reign of terror and the vicious practice of peonage can be effectually uprooted. VALUE OF A WIFE Aquity composed of white men at Hutchinson, Kan, gave Orval Craig, colored man, a verdict for $1,000 and costs against a white man named Fire, who stole the affctions of Craig's wife. Attorney William M. Bradshaw, who prosecuted the case, is reported in the Topopea Plaintiff, laid down the following questions upon which the case was based: 1. Whether or not a Negro's home is any less sacred to our law than that of a white man. 2. Whether a Negro is justifiable in his attempt to protect his honor and integrity from a licentious white man. 3. Whether a Reno County jury thinks that a black man is entitled to the same environments as any other man. 4 "Whether a white man who is a petitionary convict, has a paramount right to the affection of the wife of a Negro." Although the amount sued for was $10,000, the jury's verdict was regarded as expressing a sane and deliberate judgment in favor of maintaining the sanctity of the home regardless of the color of the parties. Viewed from a monetary standpoint, one thousand dollars is small compensation for the loss of a wife, who according to the testimony had remained with Craig seven years and borne him three children. But as she testified for the defence that she had never loved her husband and had sought a separation from him before she left him to live with the other man, the jury may have taken these statements into consideration in figuring the damages. The value of a true wife and a virtuous woman is beyond calculation in terms of dollars. It is well for the preservation of social order and decency that such characters are so common to the sex that they do not figure in the courts or the column of the newspapers. Probably the Kansas jury did the best it could in assessing the damages in the case before it. Discussing the housing problem in the District of Columbia, the Washington Bee says that it is just as serious now as it was during the World War. It continued: During the war the District of Columbia was the Mecca for the thousands of war workers who had come here on a pilgrimage to help Uncle Sam. Now it is the camping ground of the vast army of plum seekers from all parts of the country. Many of these plum seekers intend to keep up a watchful waiting until some of the plums fall on them. Others whose bank accounts shall soon be depleted will be compelled to return to their homes, to make room for those who in their turn shall follow them. Intending police seekers should take warning and govern their movement accordingly. A case of police brutality, growing out of an allied technical violation of a traffic violation in Los Angeles, moved the California Eagle to make the following protest: The brutal attack on Dr. Cooley in the heart of the business section by a police officer is a sad commentary on the police force of Los Angeles. We are satisfied that under no circumstance would any white citizen of the standing Dr. Cooley have been subjected to the brutality and humiliation that was shown to Dr. Cooley. The cracker officer kept saying: "The idea of a "Nigger" talking back to me." This man is unit to field a place on the force and the Police Commission should lose no time in removing him from the force. A movement to secure tydress was contemplated, with the prospect of speedy relief from the mayor. That is the way to proceed, with a recourse to the courts if necessary. Palatka, Fla., is reported to have two colored alderman in the City Council. In this particular the Florida town can claim a parity with New York. The Washington correspondent of the indianapolis Freeman registers the following complaint: Conditions in the Government departments here have not improved very much as yet. Many colored eligibles for first grade clerkships, stenographers, typists are still turned down, the old policy of not wanting colored people as clerkstill held. It is to be hoped that after the several "big" appointments are made of colored men, the next step will be to better conditions for the men and women lower down. Give the new heads of the several departments time to get familiar with the inner workings of their offices, so that the bureau chiefs may be inhured with the policy that work and not color is to be the standard for service.

This Government has no power to the assistance of any secret organization in the enforcement of law and the tenance of order. It prompts it to suppress any organization which lends the governments ability to enact society through orderly enforcement of the laws necessary to such protection. The Ku Klux Klan assumes to emulate the constitution, but represents fundamental principles, by assuming itself a high court of justice whose midnight decisions there are no appeal. It does not function open, but clothing the executive and decrees in hizare and ridicuature, screening their faces from the face of the public and one another, and from the victims of the order pleasure, it speaks in the dark as the assassin strikes defensible institutional authority and refusing to give personal responsibility. If such a plan and such medical are necessary to secure and maintain the supremacy of the white race, and the other things this robed and his hide are proclaiming its intent to do, then white supremacy is not maintenance. There absolutely is nothing in organization proposes to do which not come within the province nor early legal procedure. What really proposed by these masked and self-appointed guardians of the swal and morals is that theirization is superior in good intent in wisdom and power to a sirtured authority. This is indeed.

White Hayes Gives King George New Conception of Negro Folk Song CalNegrams from London, England, under date of May 1st, brought in formation that Roland Hayes, the young American Negro professor had been cited to appear before England's King, his family and court at Buckingham Palace, and that Mr. Hayes had made a distinctive impression by his singing. Details of the program given have not yet come to haud, but the press cables emphasized the fact that King George and the royal family were deeply impressed by the dignified and serious interpretation given to Negro contests by the American singer. Mr. Hayes, denominated by some of the correspondents as a "teacher Negro tenor," took advantage of the opportunity to tell the King something of the story attaching to the development of the Negro Spiritual, and how the heart throbs of the slave found vent in the expression of the moment's mood, whether of joy or sorrow, through the songs which came forth under the white flash of inspiration. It was a splendid opportunity, and one of which Mr. Hayes took full advantage, to bring before members of England's royal court a knowledge of what is truly the folk song of the Negro and so bring about a revision of their conception of that music which had been based on the debasing and misleading interpretations of the minstrel and music hall perform- The coloured singer made a fine impression. It is declared that the royal family was delighted with his voice and conduct, and the King observed with interest how different the songs as given by Mr. Haves were from what the English had been taught to becribe were characteristic Negro melodies. King George was told that the songs were never associated with comic or minstrel entertainments and that while civilization has softened the crude folk songs of primitive songs, it had made little difference in the effect as the rhythm and syncopation remain the same. After singing for the King, such songs as "Go down, Moses," "Song to sweet chariot," and "Peter, go ring, dem bells." Mr. Haves told his plans to visit Africa and make a collection of native melodies at their source with the view of comparing them with the songs of the American Negro, which are believed to be an imitation of the slave from his African forbears. He also told that he hoped to do for the African folk song what Sir Walter Scott did for the Scot's border ballads. In token of his appreciation and as a mark of distinction King George presented a handsome diamond pin to the singer. Mr. Wentzner, May 9th, Salem Mike Charnin, West Third street, the Rev. A. W. pastor, was crowded to come with an audience that had armed men to hear the church choir and the Mass Solenille (St Cecilia and previously sung during Lenten services). Rudolph Grant is the master organist at this church, and charge of the ser- vice.

Comment was made on omission of names of vocal soloists from advance announcements, although prominence was given names of accompanists. A talk with Mr. Jackson brought the information that these notices had been prepared along identical lines with previous years. The choirmaster stated that the policy had been primarily to give prominence to assisting artists not regularly connected with the choir with absolutely no intention of sighting or ignoring the regular members of the organization. As a matter of fact, the omission was unintentional, said Mr. Jackson, and as soon as his attention was directed to it, the matter was remedied. In fact, last week's issue of The Age carried the names of soloists in the recital advertisement, but I was not aware of this until after the paper was off the press. These singers are Miss Minnie Brown and Miss Ethel Houghton Clarke, soprano; Miss Marianna Johnson, contralto; Charles Waters and Charles Simons, tenors; and Garfield Warrant; Tarrant, baritone. The program to be rendered at Acelian Hall on Monday night, May 10th, by the chair of Mt. Calvary Independent Methodist Church, under direction of Sidney Woodward, tenor, contains some novel features. The principal attraction is to be heard in "The Sermon on the Mount," coming as Part II of the program, with Nettie B. Oldem, soprano, Josephine Janus-Harris, comedian, L. Williams, tenor, William N. Bell, baritone. The full choir will participate. Another number of interest will be the "Miseree," from Verdi's II. Trovatore, with Mrs. Bessie Henry, soprano, and Mr. Williams, tenor. The Cleft Club, Inc., will hold memorial services in tribute to the late Lieutenant James Rees Europe, founder, on Sunday afternoon, May 15th at 2 o'clock, at St. Marks M. F. Church, West Sird street. An elaborate program has been arranged, with Dr. C. N. Johnstone as master of ceremonies. Among the speakers will be the Rev. Wm. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Marks, who is also chaplain of the 15th regiment; Col. Arthur Little, commanding 15th Infantry, N. Y. G.; F. Q.

Syracuse, N.Y.-The musical festival of Central New York, which has been held at Syracuse every for the past quarter century; came off this year on May 2nd, 3rd and 4th with five concerts. A number of artists of international reputation appeared. The Cleveland Symphony Orchestra and the festival chorus of over 300 songs were the outstanding features of the festival. Evers concert drew a full house, but on Tuesday night the hall was packed to the doors. It was on this night that the "Charlotte Jubilee" was sung. This composition was written by Nathaniel Dett, and dedicated to the Syracuse University Chorus. As considerable mention had been made beforehand in the daily papers and elsewhere, there was a great deal of anticipation of the performance. It was the first time that a Negro composition had been given under such circumstances. Lambert Murphy, the well-known tenor, who has perhaps done more singing on festival occasions than any other singer, sang the solo parts. The inclusion of the program, the composer, all called to the stage to acknowledge the plaudits, and as the second recall brought with him both the artist and conductor to share the honors. The "Charlotte Jubilee" proved to be the biggest number of the entire festival. On May 3rd, Mr. Dett, the composer, attended a luncheon given by the Kiwanis Club, composed of the leading business men of that city, and spoke briefly on Negro music. Los Angeles, Calif.-The senior and junior choirs of 200 voices of the First A. M. E. Church, 8th and Towne avenue, in concert-de-luxe. Elmer C.

More than twenty-five hundred people, including musicians and many people of prominence of both races, gathered early in the beautiful and spacious auditorium to listen to the excellent program which began at 8:15 o'clock. Mrs. Emma Smith and Miss Mayne W. Love were the soloists. An orchestra of selected musicians of prominence had as its director Herbert Ainsell Rose, the 12-year-old boy violinist. The latter also appeared in violin with Sherza Tarnellowski. The two musicians two choirs and fifty male voices, all of whom delighted the audience with splendid numbers. "The Indian Bride," the Melican Man, the piano and organ renditions were pleasing features. None received more enthusiastic applause than the junior chorus.

A "Dorothy Dalton" picture is on and I must see it. Avec beaucoup de l'amour, "RED." DEAR GIRLS I have not the rhythmic qualities of "Brownie," not the suggestive qualities of "Happiness" nor the humorous wit of "Brownie No. 2," but I will try to compete with these "artists" "Happiness" suggestion of sending photos is very interesting but I have only had my pictures taken once in my life, and I burn them up. I also put the man's photo machine out of commission for a week. You know what I mean. I attended a banquet and reception given by the Plainfield Lymeum. Wednesday evening, although it poured like everything. Everything was perfect. I had a marvelous time. I wished that all of you could have been there. "Red," you don't know me. Neither does "Atlanta," but their character is so portrayed in their letters, that I guessed them in an instance and "Atlanta's" remark about "Bobbie" has given me a clue to her personality. "Happiness" suggestion is good, but we should give the girls a little longer to get the choice. Also request each girl if she attends school, or she is out of school, what course she is taking or course completed, to state information in the next letter. My suggestion is one that I believe is rather necessary because so many good things tail because of incompetent officers. Hoping you don't think I'm caricastic singly. I am. Plainfield, IL DEAR GIRLS: Welcome to our new members. Everybody seems to agree on that quarter a month and clearing officers from members already in the club, so "let's go." "Brownie," your poem was great. I suppose you are thinking about a literary career. I had something lovely happen to me last week, girls. The boys that went "Over There" gave a bazaar in our town, the proceeds going to disabled soldiers. They had a poster contest in which you could win an on the third strike, getting third prize. "Brownie," you mentioned hikes in your poem, pardon me, but I dislike that word. Early Sunday mo'r I went on one, hunting violets, and I certainly did hurt them for too long. I walked four miles over rolling hills for a nut full of violets. My, but my muscles felt limber after I came back. As to "Bilimktum," "Happiness," she has large green eyes. At the present she is trying—sh-h-h!—pass those fatal exams. Waiting for further developments, Lovingly, JAMIE. Bradford, Pa. DEAR GIRLIES: As you know, this is "Mother's Day." Are you wearing your rose? I am am wearing a white rose for "my dear mother." I have just returned from morning service. After listening to a splendid sermon appropriate for Mother's Day the following came to mind: I miss my mother, I miss her well. How I miss her I can't tell. It is written all along the lines. A Motherless child has mighty bad times. I am left in the world, I am left alone. Won't you come in and cheer my home. To Man · Best Friend · "Mother" "HAPPINESS" HELLO GIRLS: How are you all? I am glad to see how fast our column is growing. Are you? The tax of twenty-cents each month just suits me. Well "Brownie" the poem you wrote is quite clever. "Happiness," I guess your name suits you to a "T." If I send you my picture you'll promise that you won't die from fright, will you, "Happiness," I am glad to see so many of the Plamhill girls there. I know quite a few girls there girls, if we have a club, I would suggest "Brownie" for our president. Love to all, "TEDDY" Perth Amboy, N. J. DEAR GIRLS: "Brownie, No Two," I am sorry I've been wrongfully accused by you. It would have been a pleasure to the for us to have met, as I'm anxious to meet you. Just ring 2280-W ask for Elise, and I'll certainly make things comfortable for you. Please don't carry "Bobbie" and me two fast. Remember me, Girls and write soon.

Miller signing the measure now before him providing for the creation of a motion picture censor board is needed than the latest effort to popularize and glorify the Ku Klux Klan in the North by reviving "The Birth of a Nation," now being shown at the Capitol Theatre. "Derby Day in Dixie" Third Offering In which Billy King Company Scores Under the guise of art this vicious photoplay, has sought to spread its propaganda of race hatred throughout this and other countries. That Thomas Dixon and his associates are not moved to a sense of fair play by the many sacrifices made by colored Americans at home and abroad during this country's participation in the world war is not surprising, but it is almost unbelievable that the Capitol Theatre could be used in this nefarious plot considering that it is under Jewish management. And yet they are cursing out Henry Ford! Principle and consistency, however, seemed to be of secondary consideration when money is involved. The following article, clipped from the Call is regarded worthy of reproduction in these columns: "They are reviving "The Birth of a Nation" at the Capitol Theatre, and it is a Roman holiday. "Although the picture was made over six years ago, and was a sensational success, then it still stands out as a master film. It is a wonderful spectacle. The effects are unsurpassed even today, after other film makers have had six years to mitigate it. The setting is perfect, and such later day stats as Lifflin Gish, Ma' Marsh, Bobby Harrison, H. B. Walhall, Wallace Reed and William Cooper can be seen playing their first big parts. Technically speaking, it is a remarkable piece of work." "Rut- "Precisely what is the idea of revising it at this time? Is there any significance in the fact that this work of the Reverend Thomas Dixon, promoting race hatred, is presented when Henry Ford is working up race hatred when the Klu Klux Klan is organizing to work up race hatred, when William Randolph Hearst and his string of newspapers and magazines are starting up race hatred. "The Birth of a Nation" great thought it may be as a spectacle, a play and a pageant, is a perversion of history, written by a man who has a twisted The Billy King Company is in its third week at the Lafayette Theatre and there is no abatement in attendance. "Derby Day In Dixie" is the current attraction, which abounds in musical numbers and comedy situations. One of the best hits in the show is the prison scene with "Kid" Bumpsey is inmate. The battle on II Troyature, rendered by the comedian and Miss Young's voice, is heard to such advantage that one wonder if it would be worth her while to devote time to other than popular numbers. Billy King takes part in much of Billy King will show his highly successful engagement at the Lafayette Theatre commencing Monday, May 18th, when the company will appear in the second edition of "The New American," which played to standing room the last week. This play will be repeated in order to allow hundreds who have been turned away to see what is regarded as Mr. King's best show. Mr. King will be supported by Marshall Rodgers, Bunksum, Mme. Margaret Scott, Linda Maud, Maud Russell, Mme. Beatrice Bruner, Bertha Blanky, Vivia Young, James Thomas, Dinky Thomas, Rastus Lee, Sons of Ham Quartette and chorus full of pop.

When Dixon and Griffith trimper with history, when the director uses his genius to unlance the people against the Negroes and against the anti-slavery policy of the United States, when the artist causes vast audiences to cheer a victory of soldiers fighting under the banner of the Slaveholders' Rebellion and to hiss when the flag of their own country, destroys slaves, is hove in triumph—the matter is no longer purely artistic, but political. "This story misrepresents history. The indulgence of slaves and the indignation of the people against slavery are not depicted, but the lazy chivalrous slaveholding antislavery, are shown in their comfortable life, supported by loyal souls who lick their masters' hooks, and by comic Negroes who want to be men and women. "This picture, presumably showing the birth of America as a nation, surely at Lincoln's call for volunteers to put down the armed rebellion of men fighting to perpetrate human slavery, glorifies the childrens' banner as haptened in glory, and depicts the second rebellion, armed to deterrage a whole section of the country, so as to cause unhiking audience to bear with applause." "The story of that gang of murderous handouts, the Ku Klux Klan, is told as if they were angels of meters. Is there one out of a thousand in the audience who knows the true history or that band that had to be suppressed by the Force Bill, or who knows how fully Dixon has had abused the reconstruction period "The meaning of this picture is not only it, it is a plain attempt to keep the working people in solitude away from life it talks in with the anti-Japanese, the anti-Jewish, the Anti- German, the anti-British, the anti- Irish and the anti-Mexican propaganda, all designed to keep the workers from realizing their common interests and their common enemies, all designed to make the work of the major class the easiest. "The Earth of a Nation uses its unhappy position in its own end. It is not to paint out to the people the world view of facts divisions and color lines to unite the workers. So they may destroy the system that was based upon slavery no matter how that system is designed." L. A. W. The New York Times. Please copy. the timemaking in the first act does Marrshall Rodgers.

T. dual meet held in the Harvard Stadium on Saturday, May 7th, Edward Gourdin equaled the world's record in the running jump, 24 feet, 114 inches, which has been on the record books for the past twenty years. Daniel J. Terris, in a long article in the New York Evening Post, named Gourdin with eleven other Eastern track athletes as the greatest in history. He said in part: "But O'Connor, the elongated Irishman, pumped the remarkable distance of 24 feet. He's inches back in 1901, and no one ever equalized that record until Ned Gourdin turned the trick into Saturday in the Harvard-M.I. Gaut in the Harvard Stadium.

It is expected that before the season is ever Gourdin will teach the coveted 25 foot mark a team which is a new year ago was considered impossible. In the intercollege championship meet at the Harvard Stadium on May 25th and 26th, Gouardin will make an effort to break the record in the postpone pump, and will be able to the short point soccer for Harvard in a contest of other events. ST. C. BOXERS CLOSE On Tuesday night, May 16th, the boxing team of the St. Christopher Club closed the most successful season of the career with a tournament the posthuge huge of that club, in which actually the entire team participated. This is composed of tenion boxers, 108 to 158 pounds, and has made a most valuable record. Considered by the white team at the beginning of the season, one of the most magnificent in the city, this team loses to three intercity champions and the amateur lightweight champion of this country and Canada. Besides these honors the team has won enough practice, guts and medals to dress an average size tenyellow window, and boxer from this team are the best drawing cards in the southern boxing circles of the city. Not only during the symposium childr Not only has this team made an en- vailable record for St. Christopher clu- b it has also helped the cause of colored professional bodies throughout the country. For during the past year they have taught mixed bouts of the following clubs: the Greenwich Village House, St. Anselm Club, St. Lacey Tub, Metropolitan Club, St. Aine- ture A, C. Washington Ice, High School, Broundale Club, and special bouts. Mathson Square Garden and other places. By their record against white opponents they have done much toward creating a sentiment for mixed bouts in New York. Among the boxers of this team Leroy Powell, Moore and Wilbar Colbe have become known as three of the fastest boxers in their class. Colbe and Powell having won the inter-city championship in their respective classes were sent to Boston to represent New York in the national amateur tournament, but lost their bouts there by close decisions. However, Ben Ponteau, the most successful boxer of this team, not only eliminated all local contenders for the state lightweight championship, but succeeded in winning the national championship in this class, and later went to Canada and defeated the amateur lightweight champion of that country. He is now the best drawing card in an amateur boxing circles, and has received some flattering offers, to become a professional. Other promising boxers of that club include Trautman, Campbell, Saxestier, and Young, Curtis Bristow, who are credited Lider Darcey, early in the season, deserve much credit for his excellent work as trainer and has received many congratulations for turning out so successful a team.

Today for the fourth time recently there flashed over the nation a conventional story of gang rule in Montana, of gangsters who had committed crimes the details of which are not fit for the world to read. "What does the nation think of Mounten? Does it form the opinion that it is a community of things and genders? Does it form the opinion our morals here are so deprived that vigilantes have to vicki up upon men punishment forbidden by the constitution and the laws of every civilized community in the world, to uphold decency? What is the law of more real interest? That is of more real interest. Here the law and courts have become secondary, while a superior, bidden, cowardly, force holds sway over the mind of the people." Reference in this call to "Invisible government" and "superior, cowardly force" are believed to refer directly to the Ku Klux Klan which claims to have established branches of its which he has not, according to the chief clerk of the Department of State, been granted any permission to do business in Texas. Mayor Holcomb called upon the Houston City Council to offer a reward of $500 for each of the gays in the kidnapping and mutilation of Dr. Cockrell, and has made the following public statement. "Tilis businesses absolutely must stop. It is necessary. I will change the whole police force to see that, it is stopped. My instructions to the police are that they must uphold the law. They are instructed to run down every clue that might help discover who were the perpetrators of this outrage upon the law. Furthermore, if anyone can get involved, the police force has a guilty knowledge of any of these at fault. I will be that that member is not only discharged but prosecuted." Judge C. W. Robinson charged a new grand jury in the Criminal Court to investigate the Cockrell and other kidnappings. One colored man Samuel Wilson, a member of this jury, Atlanta, Ga. Activities of the Ku Klux Klan, believed to have been responsible for recent happenings in Houston, Texas, where several kidnappings have occurred in which the victims were summary punished by the state's law or to legally constituted administrators of the law, give significance to alleged reported activities in certain communities in Georgia, where, it is said, members of the Ku Klux Klan have given particular attention to those patients who are known to The New York Age and other race publications. A prominent resident of one of the towns in Middle Georgia cells of a visit he received from a white man. This man had gone to another house in the neighborhood and posed as a lawyer, and he came to this home of the citizen referred to, he stopped and engaged in conversation concerning crops, farming conditions, etc., giving out that he was a farmer. Adroit leading of the conversation brought up the topic of jaunce court marriage. He was the father of William and his sons, for which Williams has been convicted. Without any seeming intention, mention of the colored journals was casually made, not in the manner of an inquiry, but as a matter of fact taking for granted that the other two race papers, and it was shrewdly emphasized that these journals were not enjoying any great degree of popularity among the southern white people. "Who were the Negro's less, friends, after all, an who would surely be better for them, and could be for, but not through the effects of such trust-breeding publications." In chance this colored man, in conversation with another reader on the Age, spoke of this tall with the white man, and to his surprise his friend recapitulated almost precisely the same experience. Attention was given in this passage to the Age of the Ku Klux Klan A. B. C. and other workings of the Order. The Invisible Empire was given a clean bill of health by its agent, and enforcement of law and not its abolition. Its attempt to rise superior to the law of the land and to create an impossible but superior enacting force was minimized. The colored men were made to understand that it would not be healthy for anybody who attempted to oppose the Order's onward march. Newman M. E. Church Brooklyn Newman M. E. Church, Brooklyn Rev. T. W. Cooper has started his first year's pastorate of Newman man- agers were present at the services on last Sunday and Rev. Cooper's sermons were both scholarly and deeply spiritual.

Widow Formed Into Service. "On January 25, 1919 in Savane Langue, near Marine, a group of marines and gendarmes coming from Terre Rouge, district of Mirebastan, killed Hume Aure Bailard, who was killed in bed. They pulled him from his bed and shot him through and through. Then they forced Madame Rure Bailard, by striking her with the buttends of their riffles, to take the things that they had just stolen and carry them along with them. It was not until the next day that the poor woman could tender her last service to her husband, the marines and gendarmes, led by spies, killed a woman in a place called Thomas. The cottage was robbed. "In December, 1919, some marines and gendarmes coming from St. Paul or Mirebastan arrived at the second cottage, the marines and shot, at Beauvoir, Saint-Felix Geffard, who lived with his two little daughters, aged eight and twelve years. The terrified children managed to escape the shots of the assassins. "On the same day, at Beauvoir, the same band robbed the cottage of Timorese men, then shot him and betrayed the corpse." On the same day, at Beauvoir, the same band killed a respectable old man named Saintine Vernet. His cottage was robbed. Then the band burned the little village of Beauvoir. "In January, 1919, at Noailles, some marines and gendarmes coming from Beaugréos killed Jean Lue, an amvil, his bride, his firearms, were emptied into his body. His house was robbed and burned. Charge Killing of Children. "On the same day the same band of marines and gendarmes surprised Esca Estimil in his house at Cave-Bea with his young sons. They shot all three, father and children. They robbed his house and burned it." They mailed it to Paul Bayard, sent to the naval court of inquiry in a letter dated November 20, relative to the crimes enumerated below, committed by the Haytian sergeant of the gendarmerie, Maurice Lalontant; by the American captain, Oniel and Vardier, and by American lieutenant, Rogers, at Montagne, Guanau and Serin Neighborhood, district of Jacmel (a section where there has never been any of the so-called cews).

(5) Identification of names are given in the report of Haytian allied to have been executed by marines. "The ghastly mortality in the prisoners," continues the report, "together with confinement by survivors, reveals a record of atrocities, of brutality and description. It is a record for which it would be difficult to find a parallel." Call It Five Years of Torture The report concludes by charging that during the last five years the Haytan people "has passed through such sacrifices, fortunes, destructions, humiliations and misery as have never before been known in the course of its unhappy history". Haytan people, according to the report in addition to reparations for the wrongs and injuries done them, desire: 1. Immediate abolition of martial law and courts martial. 2. Immediate reorganization of the Haytan police and military forces, and withdrawal within a short period of the United States military occupation. 3. Abrogation of the convention of 1915. 4. Conviction within a short period of a constituent assembly with all the guarantees of electoral liberty. AUGUSTA GA Augusta, Ga., The Rev. Dr. T.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT In justice to the students of my School of Dressmaking and Designing, where every line drawn, every stitch taken, is done under my supervision, I feel it due them, the foundation upon which the school rests, to give credit to things accomplished by them, even though I direct all work done. At the recent Fashion Show given by the Hopla Neighborhood-Club at Manhattan, between 23-24, and was not announced by numbered, an afternoon dress made of satin crepe finished with Steel and black jet, all hand made by the students of Mime, May Bell Becke's Cofera's School of Dressmaking, under her direction, Manikin, Mrs. Alma Smith. Value of costume: 10. In view of the fact that we furnish all material, for costumes exhibited at these shows, andeldam, if ever get the cost price, we can sell them, give our time to making, etc., we do feel in the light of reason and principle, to say nothing of appreciation for service, an announcement of the maniken's name and the institution or the individual directing the same, should have made. All of which was refused because the costume represented the work, done by student under my suggestion and watchful eye. Why, as a matter of fact, every gown I wear or make for any one made by the students, as in the case in all establishments. The Madame does no sweep, if it is any sort of a reputable school or establishment. Yours for Right and Justice in the grapple for an honest deal for an honest livelyhood. (Signed) M. L. B.
