Harlem's Colored Assemblyman Hurls Denunciation At Critics Who Impugn His Action In Not Running Again
Ass'mblym'n Hawkins Makes Strong Reply To Criticism
Writes Open Letters To Editors of Two Harlem Newspapers Who Charged Him With Sacrificing the Race's Interest
Duty To Family Necessitated Cessation of Financial Sacrifice Entailed by Continuance in Public Service
Disappointed, office-seekers and disgruntled office-holders have found a common cause in attempting to bait Assemblyman John Clifford Hawkins of the 21st district because that gentleman has found it necessary for economic reasons to decline a renomination for the office which he now holds and in which he has served with estimation and honor during the period of his incumbency.
Accusations have been hurled to the effect that in declining he has "laid down," that he has "committed political hari kari," and that he has surrendered the legislative office without notice to the colored voters. To all of these charges and accusations, Assemblyman Hawkins has replied with dignity and forcefulness in open letters to editors of two of the Harlem newspapers which have given publicity to the matter.

To one of these editors, himself a member of the Board of Aldermen of the City of New York, but who was turned down by the County Republican Committee and refused a nomination, and that too, in the Assemblyman's own district, Mr. Hawkins hurles back provision of Falsehood. The charge made in this same paper, that the Assemblyman was to be rewarded with an appointment office, was also denounced in a letter. Says Mr. Hawkins,
"The charge that I surrendered and agreed to certain plans, which you state in your issue, is not true. I would like to know when and where. I would like to know when and where and how soon I am to be rewarded by the appointment spoken of in your paper. These matters are things I would like to know something about. You seem to know more about them than I do."
Mr. Hawkins declares in his letter that he has six months ago he publishes in no uncertain terms made from his determination not to be a candidate for reelection, and in doing so his actions.
The salary of an Assemblyman, fifty per year, at Mr. Hawkins depends on his aptitude to cover his expenses. His continuing in office has a store of a more financial sacrifice, and the welfare of his family demands now to turn his attention to his private practice that he may recuperate all and make proper provision for the care of those dependent upon him.

Dear Sir, the Harlem public bath has well advanced, according to information given Alderman Charles H. Dewey, Colonel Frank Hines, head of the bath house construction. In reference between Col. Hines, W. Roberts and Major W. H. Jake, he is representing the North Harlem community Service, the plans were developed and the city official gave the representatives some pertinent information to the construction of the Harlem bath. There will be no pool, wastes, the equipment consisting of tubs and tubs with the necessary lockers, store rooms, instruction rooms and other needed facilities. There will also be a well-equipped gymnasium with a running track, and a roof garden with a RV by 58 feet.
Pools Not Sanitary.

He referred to the latest and most modern train home in the city, recently rented at Cherry and Oliver streets. Tuts made within one and one-half hours an the pool had been thoroughly drained and filled with fresh water shaded by the pool had become unfit for use. It was pointed out that an insurgent activity it was impossible to execute against supervision over the users desired that obtains in utilities controlled by private "organizations and which are restricted in clientele. The water in the pool is changed only twice each week, and in the instance those who make use of the facilities provided are not restricted.

tion of the public which is entitled to the knowledge. Continuing, he said.
"The fact that the County Committee refused to redesignate you as a candidate for the Board of Aldermen is the real exigence you have. The interest you possess to have in the people as a whole may be discounted without further consideration. You went into a convention and asked to get your name placed before the delegates. Mr. Travis, a very fine gentleman who is liked and appreciated by all who know him, arose, intently, to put your name before the convention. He did not succeed.
"The chairman held that the power of an elected official could not be delegated, and, therefore, the proxy held by Mr. Travis was void. AS A MATER OF FACT THE PERSON WHOSE PROXY MR. TRAVIS HELD WAS PRESENT ALL THE TIME. ALL OF WHICH YOU KNOW."
The Nomination of Mitchell.
Some pertinent questions are then submitted by Mr. Hawkins for answer to the Alderman editor. In regard to the declaration by Alderman Harris that "the cards had been stacked" against him, attention is called to the fact that an opportunity was given to prove the truth of the allegation but it was not taken advantage of. Mr. Hawkins declared that he mad the nomination of Charles W. B. Mitchell (designated by the County Committee as the regular

Hines declared that the city is getting away from the use of pools in bath houses and stated that of the thirteen municipal baths, seven of them had no pools
Providing 173 Baths.
The Harlem bath house, which is to be located on 134th street, between Lenox and Fifth avenues, will compise three floors and the roof garden, each floor with its separate stairway, with a total of 173 bath. On the first floor will be located the office quarters, two waiting rooms, and ninety-three showers, each in a separate room. Six bath tubs will also be located on this floor.
The second floor will contain ninety-two rooms for showers. There will be a gymnasium on the third floor, 64 by 54 ft., with a running track, locker rooms for male and female, and store rooms. A museum gallery will overlook the gymnasium and track, and there will also be provided an instructor's room.
The fourth floor will be given over to the covered roof garden. On each floor will be provided the necessary toilet rooms for men and women, and the construction is so planned that each floor will be provided with light and air from an interior court.
Adamson Roberts was assured that procedures for acquisition of the selected site by condensation were well understood and that it would be guaranteed.

Executive Chairman Resigns From Harris' Political Club
Alleged He Was Expected To Conduct Elaborate Campaign for Candidates But That No Funds Were Provided
A meeting of the West Harlem Republican Club, at its rooms, 208 West 134th street, on Friday evening, August 12th, was productive of some interesting developments. This organization is lathered by the Alderman-editor, George W. Harris, and is supposed to be the sponsor of his political fortunes.
A resolution was introduced at the meeting which breathed defiance of the regular Republican organization because the County Committee of the 21st Assembly district, at a meeting at the club house, 721 St. Nicholas avenue, on August 4th, had failed to designate Harris, the present incumbent, for reelection as Alderman from the 50th district. This resolution was strongly opposed by some of the saner thinking members of Harris' club, who declared that while it was all right for their man to make an independent race in the primaries if he so desired, it was another thing altogether to take action that would mean cutting loose from the regular party organization.
Mr. Travis finally made a statement in which he correlated what had been said by Mr. Williams, adding that it was a case of trying to "make bricks without straw." A member of the organization raised the point that the assembly
Ham Travis Resigned.
Another disheartening incident was the action of Hamilton J. Travis, chairman of the executive committee of the club, who arose during the meeting and tendered his resignation. He did not go into details, but said that while he was willing to do personally what he could for Harris he was not willing to enter into the conducting of the projected campaign of Harris, for reelection and that of Counsel Robert L. Waring who has been suggested as an independent candidate for the State Assembly to succeed Assemblman John Clifford Hawkins of the 21st district.
Following Mr. Travis, a friend of his, Mr. Williams, said that the chairman of the executive committee was two卧垫 to go into details as to why he was resigning. Mr. Williams processed then to illuminate the situation by stating that for several nights Mr. Travis and others had been engaged in the task of preparing and outlining the proposed campaign, with regard to speaking arrangements, publicity matters and other necessities arrangements, and that in this conference Harris and Waring had contributed suggestions and plans, but nothing else. That neither of the candidates had used an intention of given evidence of any purpose to make required financial arrangements for such a campaign as they desired. And Mr. Williams said that this seeming lack of interest along financial lines by the men most likely interested had served as a wet blanket on the enthusiasm of their supporters.
Waring Tried To Explain.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT DRAWING BIG CROWD
The New York State Championship Tennis Tournament which opened Saturday, August 10th, on the courts of the Ideal Tennis Club is drawing larger crowds this year than ever before. Each day the beaches are well filled with spectators, and there is always a crowd about the fences to witness the matches. The first three days of the tournament produced some very good matches, the best of which was the match between Wilkerson and Smith adn McGiff and Downing in the men's doubles on Tuesday. After a hard night McGiff and Downing were eliminated by the score of 7-5 and 6-1. Both Wilkerson and Smith are likely winners of the tournament.
The last play in the tournament in tournament in Tally Holmes, Harold Sylvester Smith, Dr. Ijetta, Dr. McGiff, Dr. Downing, John E. Wilkerson, "Chick" Jones, Ramsey, Turner Feele, Bain Sutherls, George Smith, Spooner and E.K. Jones. Among the ladies are Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Lowe and Mrs. Wade.
The final of the tournament will be played on Saturday, August 20th, after which many of the participants will leave for Washington to take part in the National Tournament, which opens there on Monday, August 22nd.
LOTT CAREY CONVENTION
TO MEET IN NEWARK
Special to The New York Age.
Newark, N.J.-The one big event in Religious circles for this section of the country is the annual meeting of the Lott, Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention which covens at the Bethany Baptist Church in this city, Wednesday morning, August 31. The annual sermon will be preached by the Rev. W. P. Hayes, pastor of the Mount Olifet Baptist Church New York City.
This convention is named for Lott Carrier, who was born a slave at Charles Cif, Va. In early life he became a Christian, joined the Fist Baptist Church at Richmond, Va. He later purchased his freedom and sailed for Chesapeake, an abbreviation MEL. Thus he became our first

cated this in a speech, declaring that there was no need for the expenditure of funds at this time. It was not shown, however, how the service of a stenographer were to be had without payment, nor how printing and postage bills for circulation of literature, or transportation expenses for speakers were to be paid for. One of the members denominated it as "trying to conduct a political campaign on a shoe string." Mr. Travis finally made a statement in which he corroborated what had been said by Mr. Williams, adding that it was a case of trying to "make bricks without straw." A member of the organization raised the point that the assemblage had no power to act upon Mr. Travis' resignation as chairman of the executive committee, and the matter was left in allegiance. But there was no sign that Travis had any intention of continuing to serve in that capacity under the obtaining conditions.
Alderman Roberts Makes Hit.
Former Assemblyman E. A. Johnson was present and made an address, concluding by calling attention to the presence of Alderman Roberts and suggesting that Dr. Roberts be invited to speak. This was done and the Alderman from the 27th district made a strong and forceful speech, reviewing conditions in general and giving some specific information as to his alderman record, especially as to his activities in the matter of the 15th regiment armory, a bath house for Harlem, lower rentals and better housing conditions, improved school facilities, lower street car fares and many other things of interest and benefit to his constituents and to Harlem in general.
Incidentally, Alderman Roberts declared that he was not making his campaign for reelection at the expense of any other man. That he was not in the business of tearing down somebody else in order to advance his own political career. Rather than pursue such a policy, and the Alderman, he would rather return from the race or go down in great. He emphasized the fact that he was the representative of all the people of his district, without regard to race or political affiliations, and that of reelected it was his firm and undefended determination to continue to serve the people along these lines. His declaration was received by the audience with enthusiasm and prolonged applause.
Lieut. Gee of Victim of Popular Headquarter For Offering Advice plainant and Exc
The general inefficiency of the Police Department and at times shocking brutals towards the public has drawn the fire of the white press almost constantly for the last two months. The depths of inefficiency to which the Department in Harlem can fall was never more strikingly illustrated than on Tuesday, August 10, in West 130th street
In response to a complaint of Mrs. William Hart of 67 West 130th street, just opposite the headquarters of the 15th Regiment, Officer William Schmittes responded. Mrs. Hart complained to the officer about coal for the large apartment house adopting her house being deposited in front of her house and all of the coal dust blowing directly into her house
At this time Lieut. Gee walked up and asked Mrs. Hart what was the trouble. The officer resented Gee's addressing the lady and shoved him away with the remark that he was called to attend to that and it wasn't any of Gee's business. When his officer didn't give Mrs. Hart any satisfaction and turned away, Lieut. Gee phoned trying to get in touch with Inspector Calahane but without avail.
Gee then said to Mrs. Hart that "This is evidently one of those 'fly cops' but I shall try later to get you some satisfaction." "When this was said the officer who was standing near, rushed for Gee, grabbed him in the collar and Gee him he was under arrest." Lieut. Gee told him he would go with him but wanted him to release his hand on his collar.
On the way through London, avenue, between 10th and 13th, quite a crowd collected. The officer saw his
Best Edited—Best Known.
Information received on Wednesday, August 17th, was to the effect that the nomination petitions of Alderman George W. Harris, which would place his name on the ballots for nomination in the primaries to be held Tuesday, September 15th, were not filed within the legal time limit, and, as a consequence he will not be able to run as an independent candidate for the Republican nomination for the Board of Aldermen of New York City from the 20th district.
CANNOT BAR NEGROES
FROM GARDEN COURTS
Justice Burr in the Supreme Court on Tuesday, August 10th, handed down a decision refusing to enjoy the owners of Garden Courts at St Nicholas avenue, 118th and 119th streets, from renting these apartments to colored tenants. The West Harlem, Property Owners' Association tried to have the court remove the colored tenants, claiming that the owners, Edward W. Browning, and his lessee, Charles Klein, were attempt to rent the apartments into lodging houses. Justice Burr held that "there is no law in this state which prohibits a landlord from renting his apartments to tenants because of the race, creed or color of such tenants."
INSUR. CO. PROTESTS
JIM CROW ELEVATORS
Special to The New York Age. Birmingham, Ala. Because of restrictions upon the use by colored people of elevators in the Jefferson County Bank building, the Lincoln Reserve Life Insurance Company, an interracial corporation, has refused to continue occupying other quarters in that building. Dr. L. B. Moore, formerly dean at Howard University, Washington, is national field executive of this company, and has established headquarters at 220-213 Pythian Temple, this city. Insurance experts under Dr. Moore's supervision, conducted a two week school session for the scientific study of life insurance, with fourteen men registering and completing the course. These men, coming from various schools and colleges, including Howard Bates, Harvard, Oberlin, Fisk, Morehouse College, Morgan, and Gammon, have all with a minimum salary of $100 per month and commissions. The national field executive who active in several states, making openings for qualified men looking to business careers, announces that the next session of the school will be held September 5th.

where he was charged with resisting an officer.
Later at a hearing before Magistrate Simpson of the 12th District Court, Litter Gee was released on his own recognition to appear on Thursday morning.
The lengths to which some officers will go to make up a case was illustrated by one of the officer's witnesses who testified to being a witness yet could not nothing of the affair save that it occurred at 134th street and Lenox avenue, when as a matter of fact the arrest occurred in 134th street and the lieutenant was taken to the station house through 134st street, up Seventh avenue, to 135th street.
It is high time that these little incompetences are taught a lesson and learn that the people will not stand for the intimidating and browbeating of respectable people.

Rodgecrest, N. C.—Major Bruce Craven, formerly grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina, whose disbandment of that Order in North Carolina and subsequent resignation from office was told in last week's Age, has relied to the alleged statement by Imperial Wizard W. J. Simmons that "Bruce Craven is not an officer of the Ku Klux Klan and never has been," with a scorching rejoinder, of which the above is an excerpt.
Major Craven returned here on August 8th from a walking trip to Mount Mitchell and received his mail. There was an innumerable batch of letters and telegrams and numerous telephone calls had come in for him. All of them were commendatory and congratulatory, save one anonymous letter mailed on the train between Charlotte and Savannah and signed with characters known only to members of the Order. This note declared that Craven was paid to run the Order. The major gave a hearty laugh at it and said that it was consistent with the Order's attitude in which the dollar instead of character is the only test. Many of the commendatory messages are from original in the Order as well as from people prominent in this and other states.
Moves from Atlanta bring information that following Major Craven's exposure of the Klan as given in last week's Age, the members of the Imperial Council, headed by Summons, went into the executive session to consider Craven's resignation. North Carolina local officers of the Klan tried to minimize the effect of the grand dragon's action by saying that he had been only the tentative head of the organization, with authority to disband it. They said they would ignore his orders and with instructions from the imperial wizard. Following the conference held in Atlanta by the imperial council, Summons declined to make a lengthy or detailed statement, contenting himself with the brief brief comment.
Tried to Disown Craven.
"Bruce Craven is not an other of the Ku Klux Klan and never has been. He has no official connection with the organization whatever. That is all I can say at present, but it it should appear advisable I will make a more complete statement about the matter later." In response to this statement from Simmons, Major Graven gave out the following declaration:
"I have in my possession now all the paraphernalia, the official oaths, records, rituals and other documents, none of which are ever under any circumstances until I am certain stated officials even so much as temporarily. I have never held any kind of position or office in except that of grand dragon. I have never that of grand dragon. I have never been an organifier or a deputy nor an assistant. Among these documents is a commission signed by the little organizer at Rakeigh, who says I have never had any credentials of any kind.
Craven Puts it up to Simmons.
"I now put it squares up to the imperial wizard himself to either deny that he ever had anything to do with the statement given out in his name or in case he sends for the statement that I never had any official connection to authorize me to go ahead, and use anything in my possession to prove my case. If I have never been grand dragon it is certain. I could not have any important document and it is up to him to tell where he stands. These things come into my hands because of confidences I have in hand of the imperial wizard."

Sentiment at Raleigh.
Dispatches from Kaleigh show the trend of sentiment to be strongly in favor of Major Craven. The Ku Klux Klan is dead in North Carolina, think many, who have been interested in the developments since the 'resignation' and denunciation of the order by Bruce Craven, of Trinity. While the people of Raleigh who are popularly supposed to be members of the order, will not talk about the Klan, others who have not thought well of such an organization since it was started, freely express the opinion that it will be unable to survive the staggering blows delivered by Major Craven. The suggestion of the King Kleagle and of the Imperial Wizard that Major Craven would be the dragon or any other official of the order does carry much weight in Raleigh. They do not believe the Trinity man would be likely to pull such a bone as resigning from a position which he did not hold. They understand that the orders to disband and the release of every Klanman from his obligations, may not carry much weight with the loyal members of the organization, but they, do believe the onslaught of the Trinity man has knocked many of the props from under the Ku Klux in North Carolina.
The Klau at Winston-Salem.
Winston-Salem, N. C.—The Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan came to this city on August 8th and held a meeting at the Hotel Zinrenderf. He refused to give his name, stating that the only known clamman of the entire country was the imperial wizard, W. J. Simmons of Atlanta. He attempted to lend an air of great mystery to the proceedings. The cards distributed to the men bore the puzzling symbols, "Non siba sed anthar," but the statement of principles was less cryptic. About 130 men were present at the meeting, but the majority of them were less than forty years old.

of them left. It was definitely stated that neither foreigners, Jews nor Catholics could join. Reference to Major Craven made, and his admission was declared to have been a mistake. Jews are barred because they have never accepted Jesus Christ, and Catholics are barred because his church is against any union of the church and state. The $10 required for entrance was referred to as a "donation." The Kleagle declined to explain the methods used by the Klan to make itself felt but stated that it can and will act swiftly and effectively when the occasion is opportune and the cause necessary.
THE KU KLUX KLAN.
(From the Winston Salem Journal)
And so the Invisible Empire of the Ku Klux Klan has at last become visible, but only barely so, in Winston Salem. The effect of Bruce Craven handing the order in North Carolina had hardly gotten dry before certain sections of the State's metropolis were filtered with circulars announcing that the Kleagle was coming. He arrived Monday and on Monday night the much heralded initial meeting was held. It is to the eternal credit of Winston Salem that less than one-tenth of one percent of the inhabitants of the city were sufficiently interested to see the meeting through.
With the announced purposes, aims and objects of the Klan The Journal has no quarrel. Its written creed is beautiful. No man could half way live up to it without becoming a better citizen. But unfortunately the history of this organization shows that its members do not always abide by the printed creed as given to the audience here Monday night. In many sections this organization instead of promoting "just laws and liberty" has bred lawlessness and stood sponsor for the tyranny of the mob. White men and women have been accused of violating the law. So notoriously lawless have been their acts in the State of Alabama that one Judge at least has instructed the grand jury to apprehend the members of the order, if possible, and bring them to justice.
The Journal would be the last to question the right of citizens of Winston-Salem to assemble, as a few of our citizens did assemble on Monday night. They have a right to join this secret organization and to hold meetings as often as they please, so long as they do not disturb the peace and liberty of other citizens. The same Constitution of the United States that guarantees to The Journal the right to speak its mind on this subject also and in the same sentence forbids any law-making body in the Nation, anywhere, any time from interfering with the right of the people peaceably to assemble. The first amendment to the Federal Constitution reads:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or bridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
The men well assembled here Monday night were clearly within their rights. But the question they will do well to ponder now is how to stay there. In the light of the experience of other communities no less favored than Winnipeg Shim, this is a question the leaders of this movement here might seriously to consider before going on with this thing. The original Klu Klu Klan, as organized during the days of Reconstruction, was worth all of support. It was an effective agency in presenting the civilization of the South. But when the emergence that called it forth had passed the organization fell into the hands of bad men and deteriorated into a secret hand hewn on monk rule and the forces of law and order had to hang a few of the gang before it was broken up. It will be a bad day for North Carolina if the time ever

There never was a time in Winston-Salem or, for that matter, anywhere else in the State when the white and black races were living together with less friction than they are today. Any movement that is calculated to fan such smouldering fires of race prejudice is may still exist in the community or any other should be frowned upon by all good citizens of race prejudice. Our counsellor who must have a Ku Klux Klan organization they should be patriotic enough not to endanger the lives of our people by attempting to make it an agency of terror to the Negro race.
Another thing leaders of this movement should consider is the question of politics. After his experience in the order Mr. Craven says that it is impossible to keep the Klan out of politics. He says he was in the presence of the Imperial Wizard when another high official said that he wanted the Klan to become strong enough to elect a President of its own. Nothing can be more dangerous to the liberties of the people than a secret political organization. Moreover, the Constitution of North Carolina prohibits the establishment of such a society in this commonwealth. Article I, Section 25, of the State Constitution reads:
"The people have a right to assemble together to consult for their common good, to instruct their representatives, and to apply to the Legislature for redress of grievances. But secret political societies are dangerous to the liberties of a free people, and should not be relegated."
The leaders of the Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina are playing with fire. And if they don't mind they will be the first to get their fingers burned. They had better leave the enforcement of law to the regularly constituted officers of the government, and if they be wise they will play their politics in the open. Woe to the man or set of men who ever shall seriously undertake to set up a secret government to rule red-blooded Tar Heels.
TRAINING WOMEN FOR
"\" SECRETARYSHIP
Ten young colored women formed a part of this year's summer session of the National Training School held at the national headquarters of the Young Women's Christian Association, Lexington avenue, New York City. It is the policy to invite to this course only those who, in addition to possessing the necessary educational qualifications, have also had considerable touch with the movement, preferably through actual work as a secretary. This policy was adhered to in this session except in the case of one who had been most active as a member of the girl's clubs, and as she grew older, in volunteer association work. All were in agreement of a degree or diploma from either college or normal school of standing. Several have added extension courses at their normal school training. They were distributed in the regular courses as follows:
CITY SECRETARIES COURSE—Emma C. Arnold, Lansburg, Va.; Irene Johnson, Oakland, Cal.; (under appointment); Fairfax B. Richey, Davenport, Iowa; Ola C. Rayton, Charleston, S.C.; Josephine Norcom, Cincinnati; Ohio (under appointment); Mabel L. Whiting, Detroit, Michigan.
STUDENT COURSE—Ianita J. Saidler, field secretary, South Atlantic Field; Frances Williams, field secretary (under appointment) South Central Field.
GIRLS WORK COURSE—Irene E. Sanders, Petersburg, Va.
GEN. INFORMATION COURSE—Mae Hawes, headquarters campaign officer. Lectures on racial relationship were given in the various courses by Miss Eva D. Browes and Miss Crystal Bird. Key R.W. Baglain gave a lecture to the whole school upon the history of the race and the actual facts that we are facing, in a forceful and cultured manner, and from a dispassionate and Christian viewpoint.
This year several of the colored group were housed in the National Training School dormitory, and through daily contacts with their fellow students and faculty, natural relationships developed.
Collections of African Curios and Manufactured Products an Interesting Part of Exhibit-Names of Exhibitors
The largest collection of Negro arts work ever assembled at one time for exhibition is now being shown at the 135th street-branch library. This exhibit is being view by hundreds of people of the community, as well as by visitors from all parts of the country, and has provided so successful that it promises to become an annual affair. Augustus Granville Dill, business manager of The Crisis, is directing the exhibit and is being assisted by Miss Ernestine M. Rose, branch librarian, and her assistants.
There are more than 125 works of art being shown. An interesting part of the exhibit is the collection of African curios, including a "Wishing stool," basket work, beads and other trinkets from the collection of Mr. Bruce, and African cloth made by the natives from the bark trees that is being loaned by Dr. Chas. Martin.
Exhibits of Interest.
Henry O. Tanner's masterpiece, "Christ Washing The Feet of His Disciples," from Rodman Wanamaker's private galleries, is attracting a great deal of attention. The copies of famous paintings, by the Rev. J. H. White of this city that are being exhibited on the first floor of the library have also created considerable interest, and caused favorable comment because of their fidelity to the originals from which they were painted.
The pictures and historical documents of famous Negroes throughout the world that is being loaned by Arthur A. Schomberg is one of the most interesting attractions of the exhibit. This collection includes copies of Phillis Wheatley's poems, prints and engravings of Dumas, Pushkin, Toussaint L'ouvert. Frederick Douglass, and other prominent Negroes, as well as a number of original copies of magazines and pamphlets by many of these people. Another unusual article on exhibit is a beautiful 10th century design cabinet of mahogany inlaid with satin and rosewood made by J. A. Wood.
In order to keep record of the people inspecting the exhibit, a registration book was placed in the exhibition room on August 11th. Those registered in this book include a large number of out of town people, especially many of the teachers who were attending summer school at Columbia University. Another interesting fact shown by the registration of visitors is that the attendance is increasing daily, and that many white people are coming to see the exhibit. In fact so much interest has been shown by the white race in the exhibit that all of the daily papers have sent reporters to view the exhibition, and a number of these papers have commented favorably upon it.
List of Contributors.
Contributions to the exhibit are by Henry O. Tanner, S. O. Collins, Robert H. Lewis, Laura Wheeler, Carlton Thorpe, Wilfred Russell, W. M. Farrow, E. C. Stoner, Louise Latimer, W. F. Scott, W. O.

The Flirt! ah, she's the girl
Who sets the head and heart awhirl.

Skilled in the art of flirting, wooing,
She's oft the cause of much undoing.
With eyes agleam, whate'er their hue,
She charms and wins—true or untrue.

My mind is wandering to the swimming pool and its cool green water while my eyes are urging the grapes to please open as quickly as possible. "Was" you have to cancel that B. B. affair which is causing you so much unholy glee. May I as one of the Plainfield girls who are acting as hostesses Saturday extend an invitation to the Editor to attend our meeting next Saturday and will he please answer through the column? Bobbie you are out of luck. I am going to transplant you "Rose". S. B. New York City don't forget to join the column. Hoping to see all of the New Jersey girls in Plainfield, Saturday I will leave as "Mom Smoke" has made a verbal attack on me and I must retaliate. "ATALANTA" Plainfield, N. J.

- BUCKING PUBLIC SENTIMENT
BUCKING PUBLIC SENTIMENT
The operation of bucking public sentiment is a risky performance and the cause must be just and the operator encased in the armor of righteousness to get away with it. Even the most zealous supporters of the executive secretary of the 155th Street Y, M. C. A cannot claim this for him and his cause. His continued bucking of public sentiment by flaming his association with the young woman, which aroused adverse criticism in the beginning of the trouble, is but adding fuel to the flame. The conditions now reported as obtaining in the local branch of the association confirm the fact that the secretary's usefulness is ended. His wilful indifference to preserving high moral standards has broken down the morale of the institution. Incidents of misconduct on the part of certain members are attributed to the bad example set before them. In the interest of the organization and the carrying out of its avowed purpose of building for upright manhood, such conditions should not be allowed to continue.
A similar state of affairs is said to exist in the Philadelphia organization. The sooner this whole situation is cleared up the better. The Young Men's Christian Association cannot allow its work among colored men to go to pieces for lack of maintaining its moral standards. It is time for a general cleaning up and clearing of the situation. Let the colored members of the association be represented in the Central Board of Directors, so that matters relating to branch work among the race may receive proper attention.
Ignoring an evil is no way to cure it
WHAT THE SOUTH CAN AFFORD TO DO.
Much in the way of hopeful anticipation has been aroused by the tentative efforts of the movement for interracial cooperation, in seeking to bring about better relations between the two races in the South. Tirr Aul has been among those who have carefully noted the significance of this movement and looked up to it as having a possible foundation for the regeneration of the South and the promotion of just dealings between the two races.
It is therefore with renewed interest that we read the announcement that the next big forward step in the solution of the race question will come from the South. The author of this prediction was the Rev. W. W. Alexander, white minister of Atlanta and secretary of the Commission of Inter-racial Cooperation. Speaking to the lavern's conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, held at Lake Junalaska, N. C., last week he said:
"The South can afford to do it, and what is a great deal better, there is a growing convention here based upon a sense of justice and fair play for all men."
"Then, too, the South has social prestige to do this. The social question figures largely in the race question. So the South can when it will take the leadership in international cooperation.
"I believe the South will assume this leadership with the same sort of pride and determination as it led the nation in the overthrow of the rump traffic.
"It has been the universal opinion of those who have come in close touch with the question that Negro leaders do not desire or seek social equality.
"They have asked for police protection, better housing, better sanitary living conditions, better educational facilities, and a chance to develop into useful American citizens with every determination to maintain their own social life and the purity of the two racial stocks.
"The reasonableness and intelligence of Negro leaders greatly encouraged the white men who have come in contact with them.
"The fact that southern white men and women have manifested their interest in Negro welfare has gone far to allay the unrest and pessimism which was so rapidly spreading through great sections of the Negro leadership in America."
This all sounds reasonable and reassuring as to the growth of a sense of justice and fair play among a certain class of professing religionists of the white South. Under normal conditions of civilization such sentiments should spread and represent the public opinion of the community. But we find as a deterrent and obstruction to the idea of dealing justly with the Negro the prevalent bugle of social equality.
The argument against the railroads
giving decent Negro passengers first
class accommodation for a first class
class
white passengers involves social equality. Voting at the same polls and having the votes counted is held to be equivalent to the same thing. Until the decent and thinking white people of the South learn to discriminate between social equality and civil and political equality, the efforts toward interracial cooperation are bound to be limited in scope and abortive in application.
Secretary Alexander is perfectly right in contending that the South can afford to take the step forward that he contemplates, but until the bugbear of social equality is banished, the step is likely to be a hobble.
COMPLETING THE TICKET
After having designated a strong municipal coalition ticket for the primaries next month, the Republican leaders in New York county continued their good work by naming the candidates for the county, borough and judicial offices to be filled in November. The ticket as designated for the approval of the voters is as follows: For Borough President—Ernest F. Eilert.
For District Attorney-John Kirk-
land Clark.
Eut. Shriftje-John S. Shea.
For Register—Helen Varick Boss well
For County Clerk—Charles Novello
For General Sessions Judges—Joseph F. Mulquen, Maurice Koenig,
John H. Isten.
For City Court—William H. Chorosh and William J. Millard.
County Chairman Samuel S. Koenig expressed his satisfaction with the ticket selected in the following terms:
"We have finally brought forth a ticket that we do not hesitate to recommend to enrolled Republican voters as well as to independent voters. The candidates are all of high standing and represent the best elements in the community. I have no fear as to what will happen in November."
This affair offers the colored people of New York City and State great opportunity and no reasonable amount of money should stand in the way of taking advantage of it. We are constantly complaining at the lack of opportunity to bring to the attention of the world the best that is in us. "America's Making" gives us the opportunity to bring to the eyes of hundreds and thousands of people and of the entire press of this great city the worth while things that the race has done and given to help make America the great nation that it is. These hundreds and thousands of people will be not only New Yorkers but people from every corner of the country and from other countries of the world. There come in New York City every day 300,000 people from other communities and since a great part of these are looking for instruction or entertainment, or both, many will attend this exhibition, and the fact that the Negro's contribution to the greatness of America has been such an important one should destroy any hesitation about participating in this exhibit or raising the money to do so.
With the further designation of candidates in the various districts for the aldermanic and legislative nominations, the voters will be called upon to approve the tickets submitted at the primaries in September. This is a duty that should not be neglected. Every man and woman who is enrolled as a member of any political party has the right to register his approval under approval of the candidates recommended for nomination by voting at the primaries. The voter may approve the regularly designated nominee of the party organization or he may prefer another choice. We would recommend that all enrolled Republican voters endorse the coalition ticket headed by Henry H. Curran.
There are very few groups that can match the contribution of the Negro to America's making. The English, of course, can claim credit for laying the political and legal foundations of the nation and contributing its common tongue. So naturally their contribution stands out preeminently. The Spaniards can lay claim to having opened up the southwestern and the far western territory, but they soon ceased as a force among the forces which continued to make America great.
We understand that Alderman George W. Harris, who failed to receive the endorsement of the Republican organization for renomination, will run in the primaries on petition. This will give the voters of his district an opportunity to record their opinion of his fitness to receive a renomination. If they study the facts set forth in Turf Anz of July 23, we believe that they will decide against him.
But the Negro, preceding as he did the Pilgrim Fathers in landing on these shores, became at once a factor and has continued to be an increasingly important factor ever since. As a factor in America's making the Negro may be looked at from three different points of view. He has been and continues to be a great economic factor. By his muscle and brawn and in his sweat he has been the principal force in converting that whole section known as the South from a wilderness into a productive region. It has been and still is chiefly through his labors possible for the South to exist economically. For generations it was through his toil that the product upon which the South lived was produced—cotton. And even today without his labor cotton could not be produced in any great quantities in the South. Likewise with the other stable products of the South—rice, tobacco and sugar-cane. For more than a hundred years the economic and industrial stability of the South has rested upon the broad back of the Negro, and as he has helped to develop the South and to make it prosperous, proportionately he has contributed to the development and posterity of the whole nation.

THE CHURCH OF FREEDOM
Widespread damage has been done by thunder and lightning during the present summer. Such freaks as hail stones as large as eggs and electrical phenomena of unusual intensity have ravaged many sections of the Eastern States. Many landmarks have suffered damage and destruction, one of the most notable of these being the historic Church of Freedom, located at Packerville, near the eastern border of Connecticut. The loss of this relief was described by the New York Evening Mail as follows:
Lightning struck and burned the ancient Church of Freedom, the first church in New England where colored people were taken in fellowship as equals. In the time of the early slavery agitation this church became renowned throughout the country. It was one of the terminals of the "underground railroad" along which the abolitionists ran slaves from the plantations of the South. Prudence Crandall and her "Misses of Color" were here protected from persecution.
Likewise can the Negro be proud of record as an American. From the very first beginnings of the nation he became woven into the very woof and warf of its history. From the Boston massacre on through Battle of the Argonne he has willingly shed his blood in all of the nation's wars. Every schoolboy knows, or at least ought to know, that the Negro fought bravely in the war of the Revolution; that he was with Perry on the Lakes and Jackson on the Gulf; that nearly 200,000 Negroes turned the tide for the Union in the Civil War; and that in the great World War he went over 400,000 strong. Not in all of this stretch of history is there recorded a single instance of treason or even disloyalty.
At the little Packerville Church of Freedom Charles Burleigh, afterward mobbed in Boston with William Lloyd Garrison, preached his first abolitionist sermon. In this church Rev. Dr. Charles H. Spalding, who became head of the American Baptist Publishing Society, was baptized. The first woman's temperance society in Connecticut was organized here a lineal forerunner of the W. C. T. U.
But even prouder still should the Negro be of his spiritual and cultural contribution to America. Out of the wealth of his emotional and artistic endowment he has contributed gifts which no other group in the nation had within its power to give. The Negro has been the creator of the only things artistic that ever yet sprang from American soil and have been acknowledged as American products. This no other American group has shown the ability to do. Others have produced American examples of foreign art but nothing distinctively American which has also appealed to the world as such. The only artistic production known the world over as American in its origin was given by the Negro—that is, American music.
It will be seen by this brief resume what an important part the Church just destroyed played in the early history of the Abolition movement in the East. The Church of Freedom was truly a cradle of liberty for the Negro.
The Philadelphia Tribune announces that Councilman Charles B. Hall has won his fight to have colored women admitted to membership in the Republican City Committee. It adds:
These three main phases of the Negro's contribution to America could be subdivided in detail.
The new rules provide for the selection of two women from each senatorial district in the city. There being eight senatorial districts in the city, there will of necessity be sixteen women selected for seats in the committee.
The Negro can also point with pride to the number of individuals of genius that the race has produced who have by their lives and art contributed to the nations greatness. But enough has already been here said to emphasize in a broad way how much the Negro has placed before the world in such an exhibit as "America's Making" will be.
Councilman Hall's contention is, that in districts where there is a colored vote proportionally large, there should be one colored and one white woman chosen. To this contention the party leaders have agreed.
The committee representing the Negro group has issued a budget in which the estimate for the cost of representing the achievements of the race in the form of exhibits and a great musical festival is placed at $3.025. This is a paltry sum when the object and its results are considered.
Such a program, when carried out, will give colored women at least three seats and perhaps four.
This emphasizes anew the important part that the women of the race are destined to play in politics and shows their readiness to accept the responsibilities devolving upon them. It is also interesting to note that the ardour labors of the poet, decribing editor of the Tribune, have been augmented by Burton Porter, the author of the

A DEADLOCK ON THE IRISH QUESTION.
The text of the correspondence between Lloyd George and Eamon De Valera has been made public and it indicates that there is a deadlock between Great Britain and Ireland on the questions
Premier and the Irish Provisional President for the past few weeks.
After leaving London and returning to Ireland Mr. De Valera sent a communication to Lloyd George, a communication which Lloyd George answered. Both of these letters for a while were held secret, and there was considerable speculation as to what they contained. The text of Mr. De Valera's letter shows that Great Britain had made the following offers to Ireland:
1. Full status as a British dominion.
2. Complete autonomy in taxation and
3. Right of Ireland to maintain her own constabulary and police.
4. Right to maintain her own postal and to control all her own industrial affairs.
On the other hand Great Britain' requies.
1. Control of the seas around Ireland.
2. Keeping of Irish territorial forces as to numbers.
3. Granting to Great Britain of air cations facilities.
4. Ireland agreement that there shall restrictions between the islands.
5. Assumption of Ireland of a share of present debt, to be fixed by arbitration.
These proposals are rejected by Ireland forth that dominion status for Ireland would that the other British dominions enjoy the account of their immense distance from the that this physical factor would not operate.
With regard to the civil problem where De Valera says, "We agree with you that he be secured by force. He sums up his powers:
"Ireland's right to choose for herself the realize her own destiny must be accepted as in that has been maintained through centuries of of unparalleled sacrifice and untold suffering, rendered. We cannot propose to abrogate or to Britain or any other foreign State or group of to interfere with its exercise in order to serve the Lloyd George's answer shows a study in up his position by saying in reply, "I am attention to one point on which you lay it which no British Government can compromise that we should acknowledge the right of Irish allegiance to the King."
According to the Irish point of view, begging the question. He is stating as a fact the Irish deny, viz, that they are or ever the British nation or that their allegiance to the more than they were compelled to yield by.
On the other hand the British Premier more than a hundred years Ireland has sent to Parliament of her own volition to participate in. To this the Irish will probably reply time their participation in the British Government by way of protest.
There is one point which seems to have George. In his reply to Mr. De Valera's agrees that no common action would be seen he says:
"We are profoundly glad to have your age Ireland cannot be coerced. This point is of great the resolve of our people to resist with full power by one part of Ireland carries with it of necessary resist any effort to coerce another part of Irelandiance to the Crown."

On the other hand Great Britain required of Ireland:
1. Control of the seas around Ireland by the British Navy.
2. Keeping of Irish territorial forces within reasonable limits as to numbers.
3. Granting to Great Britain of air defense and communications facilities.
4. Ireland agreement that there shall be no tariffs or trade restrictions between the islands.
5. Assumption of Ireland of a share of the United Kingdom's present debt, to be fixed by arbitration.
These proposals are rejected by Ireland. Mr. De Valera sets forth that dominion status for Ireland would be merely illusory; that the other British dominions enjoy virtual independence on account of their immense distance from the home government; but that this physical factor would not operate in the case of Ireland. With regard to the civil problem which Ulster offers, Mr. De Valera says, "We agree with you that no common action can be secured by force. He sums up his position in the following words:
"Ireland's right to choose for herself the path she should take to realize her own destiny must be accepted as indefeasible. It is a right that has been maintained through centuries of oppression and at a cost of unparalleled sacrifice and untold suffering, and it will not be surrendered. We cannot propose to abrogate or to impair it, nor can Great Britain or any other foreign State or group of States legimately claim to interfere with its exercise in order to serve their own special interests."
Lloyd George's answer shows a study in diplomacy. He sums up his position by saying in reply, "but we must direct your attention to one point on which you lay some emphasis and on which no British Government can compromise, namely, the claim that we should acknowledge the right of Ireland to secede from her allegiance to the King."
According to the Irish point of view, Mr. Lloyd George is begging the question. He is stating as a fact the very thing that the Irish deny, viz, that they are or ever have been a part of the British nation or that their allegiance to the King has ever been more than they were compelled to yield by superior force.
On the other hand the British Premier points out that for more than a hundred years Ireland has sent members to the British Parliament of her own volition to participate in the British Government. To this the Irish will probably reply that during all of that time their participation in the British Government has been mostly by way of protest.
There is one point which seems to have trapped Mr. Lloyd George. In his reply to Mr. De Valera's statement that Ireland agrees that no common action would be secured by using force, he says:
"We are profoundly glad to have your agreement that Northern Ireland cannot be coerced. This point is of great importance, because the resolve of our people to resist with full power any attempt at session by one part of Ireland carries with it of necessity an equal resolve to resist any effort to coerce another part of Ireland to abandon its allegiance to the Crown."
If the British Government is resolved to resist with full power any attempt at secession by Ireland from Great Britain how can it disapprove if Ireland itself should also resist with full power any attempt on the part of Ulster to separate itself from the Irish government? This question is still more puzzling when it is considered that Ireland is of a different race and a separate territory from the rest of Great Britain while Ulster is an integral part of Ireland itself.
for more than 22 years, speaks volumes for the yvean support given by the good forward looking colored men and women of these States.
An editorial in THE AGE of July 23, relating to some recent developments in the promotion of life insurance for Negro risks, through the formation of companies under Negro management, has brought us an interesting communication, from Mr. R. H. Rutherford, president and treasurer of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company which has its general office at Washington, D. C. The writer acknowledges the pertinency of the subject in question and says that "it rightfully gives commercial and economical faith, hope and charity to the new Negro." Mr. Rutherford puts it thus strongly:

We are glad to note the record of concrete achievement in the Northern insurance field made by the National Benefit Company. The testimony of such a veteran official as Mr. Rutherford is reassuring and confirms the possibilities of development pointed out in previous editorsials in Turt Acr. The field is so large that there is room for active and intensive cultivation by all the capital and workers that can be enlisted in the movement.
The selling of insurance to Negro risks in the North, under proper legal restrictions and with prudent and sound management of the companies so engaged, should prove a benefit to the insured, as well as opening economical opportunities to those engaged in the work.
HEROES OF THE RAILROAD
It has long been recognized that it requires a certain degree of physical courage and endurance to make a good railroad man. No weaklings nor slackers can long survive the physical and mental strain involved in train service. Added to the normal risks and trials of this service, a special dispatch to New York Herald recently told how Negro trainmen in Mississippi ran the risk of intimidation and death through the workings of an organized labor plot to dive them from the Illinois Central line.
This state of affairs was brought to light by the arrangement and indis- ment of two non-employees of theroad, on a charge of lying in ambush and shooting Gua Embry, a Negro fireman, as the train on which he was working was passing Velma. Miss, last month. The shooting followed one of a series of warning letters, threatening death to this class of trainmen unless they quit the service of the road, or its allied line, the Yanaco and Mississippi Valley. Three or four Negro trainmen had been stained previously and night attacks had been made on others. In almost every case it was said, that a letter of warning had been received by tide victim, and yet was permitted by sticking to his job at the risk of his life.
THE NEW YORK AGE SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1921.
"AMERICA'S MAKING" AND THE COLORED PEOPLE.
"America's Making" is the title which has been given to the great festival and exhibit which is to be held in New York City during the later part of October and the first part of November. This festival and exhibit is to be held under the auspices of the New York State and City Departments of Education and will take place in the main drill room of the 71st Armory. The purpose is to show in popular form by means of exhibits and pageentry the most important historical, economic and cultural contributions that Americans of various descent, from the original colonists down to the present time, have made to the American nation.
All of the various groups in the nation except the aboriginal Indians have been considered as immigrants and asked to participate. The festival will continue for two weeks. Exhibits will be on view throughout the day and evening and will be arranged in booths around the side of the drill hall. On each afternoon and evening the pageantry features will take place. These pageantry features are intended to portray the characteristic cultural contributions which have been made by the different racial groups. Committees representing the groups have been organized and have in hand the work of arranging the exhibits and pageants by which the contribution of each respective group is to be demonstrated.
The colored people of New York have been invited to take part and a committee has been organized. This committee is faced with the same conditions which faced each of the other committees, that is, not only of organizing and arranging the program by which the American Negro is to be represented, but also of raising the necessary funds. The appropriation made by the Board of Education, we are informed, was $100,000, but this amount is intended to cover only the overhead expenses of organizing and carrying through the whole movement. Each group which takes part is expected to finance the costs of whatever it does.
OPPORTUNITIES IN INSURANCE.
Insurance is better developed, financially stronger, more securely founded and offers greater opportunities than any other phase of business for the Negro. The graduate who leaves the class room or the energetic wide awake young man in search for a field of unlimited opportunities should select Life Insurance as a profession. Unhindered by prejudice, unrestrained as to activity and unrestrained by intensively cultivated fields, success is certain for the right type of men and women.
After having thus clearly and forcibly set forth the great opportunities for service as well as personal advancement offered through the selling of life insurance among the race. Mr. Rutherford claims that Titre Ack was misinformed as to what company, exclusively manned by Negroes, is entitled to first laurels as having qualified as an Old Line Legal Reserve Life Insurance Company in the North. This distinction he claims for his own company, the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D. C., which he says was granted a license as such by the Ohio Insurance Department in April, 1921, thus outdistancing all other rivals by several months: He adds:
The records in the archives at the capitals of the Northern States of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, etc. will show that the National Benefit Life Insurance Company was operating there under the prior supervision of their Insurance Departments before the day of issue of any other Major insurance decree.
Miss. One was slain near Rainer, Penn. just out of Memphis, and an aide on his train was passing Aberdeen Station. Information received by the Illinois Central officials revealed that the price of $300 had been placed on the head of every Negro working for the road. Of course such a state of lawlessness could not be permitted to continue, without some effort to maintain interference with interstate commerce. Hence thee arrests stated were made by the United States authorities a charge of conspiracy.
Another incident demoralized bravery among Negro trainees confined to any section of the workers. was reported from Minn. When a Chicago gunman as "Tommy" O'Connor, tried a train on the outskirts of the was an unarmed Pullman B. Legg, who knocked the his hand and kicked him in. This gunman had not long and killed a Chicago detain five policemen permitted his. These instances of contagion on the part of the Negro road men, show that the physical and moral stamina them for any branch of the
Commenting on ministerial description of prize fighting, the L. New Age said:
Ministers and ministerial assistants were clamoring for prevention of Dempsey-Carpentier flight, although brudality of such a contest is a problem to American civilization. Certain Americans could have more faith in the sincerity if more was heard of the protests against the hanging and luring of fellow human beings. Even a man was burned at the stake in sight of a city church. The protest arose from these same men to get publicity.
And some other people are asked at the report that "it ten thousand men were at this same prize fight. Is it not? If the women and children attend lynchings and almost all souvenirs of the victims, why are the American women woth a punch each other for a half hour or less?
Even the leaders of the Southern Methodist Association who were called for a law providing for a servant's service of Sunday as a day not failed to include lynching among the pastimes which they wanted to inhibited on the Lord's day.
Richmond has a new business enterprise in the form of a bakery and operated by Negroes. Arriving to the St. Luke Herald.
This splendid business major now to the public a little more than a months ago. The carriers then had only market baskets in which they made deliveries to a few friends who lived near them. Later on they were compelled to enlarge their carrying capacity with "push-carts." The demand grew so large that the new have modern and beautifully designed horse bakery wagons going all the over Richmond.
The Herald adds that it has often dered why the Negroes, since the slave always done all the cooking in South, all the laudering for the South, and all the care of the farms and farmers for the South, did not have laudries laudries and floral parapets themselves. Probably for the reason that the things most familiar are the looked. But it is not too late, the omission.
PIONEER INSURANCE CO
Editor of the New York Age
Although in the maelstrom of a program, with which we are ever in a we pause here to acknowledge the tenency of your excellent education in a recent issue in re"Insurance in North." You did your work in public great-credit for writing an lishing an article of such importance rightly gives commercial and economic faith, hope and charity to the Negro. Insurance is better done financially stronger, more founded and offers greater opportunities than any other phase of interest for the Negro. The graduate who takes the class room or the energetic awake young man in search of a limited opportunities select life insurance as a profession hindered by prejudice, unrestrained activity and unrestrained by intense cultivated fields, success is certain the right class and type of women. Their desire for greater pendence, financial gain, further development and service to women can be realized and rewarded in domain of insurance.
Evidently, however, you have been misinformed as to what company is clusively manned by Negroes and titled to first laurels as having as an old line legal reserve insurance company in the North. It is a matter of public record that the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D. C., was granted license as such by the Ohio Insurance Department in April 1921, thus tancing all rivals for the disbursement and honor by several months under favor of its license in Ohio the company is authorized to do ordinance and industrial life, endowment, health and accident business and make all kind of insurance that relate therefor more, we already owe in Ohio to the extent of several sand dollars, thereby acquiring a hold on the Buck Eye.
The records in the archive of Capitolis of the Northern State in Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, etc., will show that The National Benefit Life Insurance Company was acting therein under the strict vision of their insurance departments before the day, of any other New company therein. The fact that we were survived, successfully meeting Yankee competition for more than two years, speaks volumes for the women support given by the good friends looking colored men and women of these states. We're proud of them and we also glory in the company's honor of racial achievements. We were the first as an assessment company, our blossoming forth as a legal resource. Such is and such has been the result of this going concern for well over two decades.

Negro Musicians In Annual Session at Nashville, Tenn.
Third Annual Meeting Is Well Attended Many Fine Musical Renditions Feature the Three Days' Gathering
The third annual session of the National Association of Negro Organists, held at Nashville, Tenn., July 26-28, was an interesting occasion, according to post-convention reports which have come to hand. The first day's meeting was held at Mt. Olive Baptist Church under management of the Nashville branch of the N. A. M. with H. P. B. Johnson as chairman of local committee of arrangements, but second and third day's sessions were held at National Hall at Fisk University, with the Fisk music study club, on behalf of the national body, as host. Many of the delegates were quarterly at Fisk campus, Bennett Hall, a four story building, turned over to the visitors. The third and fourth floors were men's quarters, and the large reception room, with its grand piano was used for rehearsals and board meetings.
Fisk Memorial Hall is furnished with two grand pianos and a three pipe organ, the musicians had every facility for the rendering of their programs and other demonstrations planned by the program committee.
My information is that the business meetings were as a rule related and harmonious, with much less friction than was anticipated. Of the various questions arising, during the year and coming to the convention for settlement, it is probable that the question of an official organ for the association attracted most attention. At the 1920 session certain action was taken in this matter and it thought by many that the official organ had been created upon. I was present when the matter was considered and it was my thought also that the convention had taken final action, bringing in the magazine published at Washington by President Henry L. G. The Negro Musician"—as its choice.
During the past year, however, Mrs. Nora Douglass Holt of Chicago began the publication of that excellent journal, "Music and Poetry," and some months ago a resolution was circulated among the members of the board of directors of the N. A. N. M. Publishing Company. The Holt journal be designated as the official organ. It appears that the directors, having in mind the last year's invention, failed to act decisively upon the matter, and as a result the annual session for adjudication, with, as a member of the board of directors put it, "a bitter antagonism between Henry Grant and Nora Douglas Holt over the respective magazines."
Mr. Gorman is president and Mrs. Holt vice-president of the national organization and both have strong following. But transcending in importance was the fact that the association would be served with such a condition continued to obtain with two officials whom is of inestimable service to the organization. At the same time difficult to find a solution of the problem, as both Mr. Gorman and Mrs. Holt were outspoken in defense of their respective information comes from an authoritative source that a response was suggested looking to the merger of the two magazines in a name which would preserve to some extent their interest such as "Negro Music and Poetry" or "Negro Music"—with a partnership based on the invested treasured in the journals and with a working agreement by which the editors might be suitably employed. Mrs. Holt on the treasured and Mr. Grant on the propaganda side for the NAACP work proper.
At the time reports at hand, this suggestion was agreed to by the interest, the matter being considered separately thoroughly ratified before the board of directors. Those who were essential in bringing about this solution ought to be
Looking at from all angles, it strikes me that this is a happy endeavour to solve problem. The excellence of the two journals, "Musician" and "Music and Poetry," have been published at various times in this column. There is a certain strength in the activities of Mr. Grant that he balances nicely with the delicate charm and delicacy of its more esthetic endeavors. Combining their mutual effort ought result in the production of a far in advance of anything bitherto produced and a publication on a par with any of those in publication now issued in this country.
Known for this particular proposition has been in my possession, the resolution was first offered to the board of action, but comment has been withheld in the course of the mutually satisfactory basis of adjustment might be with extreme pleasure that this method of settlement and it is earnestly and sincerely hoped that will be the after-development which will prevent its final

My correspondent continues: "Professor Work sang with his usual taste, bringing out the beauty of the text and its contrasting moods. Cleota Collins sang as her closing number an air from 'Herodias' by Massenet. She is the type of singer that must have a very good accompanist, so that she can interpret properly. She sings with three intelligent expressions. There was a sad criticism in the audience about the pose she takes and I intended to speak to her about it but forgot. It is unfortunate that such singing should be marred by a pose that the average person in the audience objects to. There is nothing wrong with her facial and since her singing is not of the brilliant type it would be best for her to keep on better terms with her audience. She is very good in expressing the emotions of the song in her face and with her eyes. She weighs only ninety pounds. If her weight was increased by about thirty pounds she would be our best interpreter of the masters' songs—Schubert and Brahms in the German, and the modern French. Other singers make better impressions because they have stronger vocal organs and more power, but this little lady interprets the songs.

The "Royal Southern Singers" Make Good In London Concert
---
our three artists appeared that I hope you will get acquainted with soon. I was very much impressed with the singing of Miss Estelle Pinchney, from the Oberlin Conservatory. Her singing was so excellent, in my opinion, that I have decided to engage her for our series for the coming winter. She has been teaching in the Conservatory at Howard University but I understand she has resigned. Miss Camille Nickel of New Orleans gave a brilliant performance of Schumann's Concerto in A minor, with the Bose playing the orchestra part on a piano. Another artist appearing on the program was Miss Sonoma Talley, daughter of Professor Talley. Miss Talley is a graduate of Fisk and is studying at the Institute of Musical Art in New York City and teaching in the
Mary, the Hon. Lady Cook, of Doughty House, Richmond, Surrey, England, under date of July 27th, writes me an interesting letter concerning the musical activities in England of a group of colored Americans—the Royal Southern Singers, composed of Frank Dennie, 1st tenor, John C. Payne, 2nd tenor, C. C. Rosemond, baritone, and Robert Williams, basso. She tells particularly of a concert given by this aggregation at Wigmore Hall, London, on Friday, July 8th, which she characterizes as a "great success in every way."
Harry T. Burleigh of New York, who is now in London, was present at the concert; according to Lady Cook, and several of his compositions and arrangements were given on the program.
Abbie Mitchell, who has achieved notable results in both music and drama, was programmed to assist the Singers, but indisposition prevented and her place as a soloist was taken by Margaret Jewell, "an Australian soprano pupil of Mme. Melba." The letter from Lady Cook is as follows:
To Mr. Lucien H. White.
Editor of the Music Column.
THE NEW YORK ACL
Dear Sir: I shall be very grateful if you will find space in your paper for this letter containing an account of a concert, given on the 8th of July, at Wigmore Hall, London, by the "Royal Southern Singers," namely:
(1) Mr. Frank Dennie, 1st tenor;
(2) Mr. John C. Payne, 2nd tenor, (and also trainer of the quartet);
(3) Mr. C. C. Rosemond, baritone;
(4) Mr. Robert William, bass.
I had the pleasure of acting as secretary and agent for my friends, The Royal Southern Singers," on this occasion, and I am glad to say the concert proved a very great success in every way. This being so, and knowing that those at home will be pleased to hear good news of their friends in Europe, I am asking you to print this letter.
The concert consisted principally in the singing of many of the "Spirituals," by the Quartet; and they rany also a few other songs, mostly Negro classics and folk-songs. Their singing was artistic and delightful to listen to, and was enthusiastically received by a large audience of musical and critical people, and it also received good press criticisms.
The soloists were (1) Miss Margaret Jewell, an Australian soprano of great promise and of mime. Melba; and (2) Mr. John C. Payne. Payne Abhine Mitchell, who had promised to appear as soloist, was prevented from doing so, at the last moment, owing to indisposition, so Miss Jewell kindly took her place.
Miss Mabel Warren acted as Miss Mitchell's substitute in the number "God-down, Moses," especially arranged by Mr. J. C. Payne, for the Quartet and Miss Mitchell.
Mr. Payne's solos were: (1) Can't you hear me calling, Caroline?" by Caro Roma; (2) "Adoration" by H. T. Burleigh, who was present at this concert.
With regard to this soloist's work I cannot do better than quote a criticism from the Referee an English paper, valued for the excellence of its musical criticism:
"On Friday evening at Wigmore Hall an extremely interesting concert of Negro Folk-Songs, and others by American composers, was given by a party styling itself "The Royal Southern Singers' Quartet." There is a human appeal about the Negro songs of Southern America, which, when rendered with the simplicity and earnestness of native singers, has a peculiar fascination. The voices of the Quartet had been well chosen, and the renderings testified to careful practice. Of the solos, "Adoration" by Burleigh was sung by Mr. J. C. Payne, a tenor with a purity of tone and sincerity that were delightful."
I will close this letter. Sir, with the repetition of my hope that you will be able to find space for it, and with the assurance that the Negro "Spiritual" is undoubtedly meeting with the appreciation it deserves in England today. I remain, dear Sir, Yours sincerely, MARY COOK.

It is very probable that some of the nearby New Jersey cities will hear her during the eastern visit.

So far as I am informed there were no changes made in the office—Mr. Grant and his entire cabinet being reelected. The only changes of which note has come to me were in the board of directors—Kemper Harreld of Atlanta and H. P. B. Johnson of Nashville being replaced by David I. Martin of New York and Fred Work of Boldentown Institute. N. J., who also lives in New York, However, Harreld is retained as chairman of the employment committee and Johnson stays at head of the publicity committee.

THE N. Y. FISK SOCIETY SCHOLARSHIP BENEFIT
Much interest has been evinced by the readers of this column in the work of the Fisk Society of Greater New York, and especially in the case of its first beneficiary, Miss Lydia Mason of 45 West 80th street, who attended Fisk University last term, a member of the college preparatory class and a special student in music. Miss Martin, one of the most talented young musicians of the race, had been a pupil at the Ethical Culture School in Central Park West since she was a tiny tot, and last year finished from the high school department with commendable honors.
In the meantime she had been studying music, with special attention to the pianoforte, with remarkable achievements; in fact, she had been looked upon as a youthful prodigy because of her pianistic ability. Although she had rightly been a pupil of his school or of any of his teachers, she was exploited, while still a child, by Mr. Martin of the Martin-Smith School, as a member of the Martin-Smith Trio, a combination composed of Martin's two sons as violinist and cellist respectively, with little Lyda as the pianist. Her work on the concert platform under these auspices attracted wide attention, and the development shown, later on, when the made her appeal to the music-lovers of New York simply as Lyda Mason, pianist was ample verification of her right to a place among the embryo artists of the race.
Chosen by the Fisk Society as the first recipient of their Fisk University Scholarship, Miss Mason's initial year at that institution has justified the Society's choice. In the class work of the term her averages, according to her teachers, were high in all the branches covered. In fact, if such classifications were made in the college prep class, she would have been the recipient of distinguished honors. In her music, the Fisk instructors saw fit to curtail her work in certain directions, but this was done that there might be fuller development on a broader foundation along lines as vital as those previously pursued. And in this new work, her accomplishment has been entirely satisfactory.
She returns to Fisk to enter upon her second term about the first of October. Prior to her departure from the city, the Fisk Society has arranged, for a concert at the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, to be followed by a farewell reception in the grand ball room of that beautiful amusement temple. This is to occur on Friday evening, September 16th, and the proceeds are to augment the Fisk Society's Scholarship Fund. I understand that the Society purposes the financing of Miss Mason's complete college and music courses, but it also plans the naming of additional beneficiaries who will be taken care of at Fisk during the same period.

AS'M'N HAWKINSMAKES REPLY TO CRITICISM
(Continued From 'First Page')
Republican candidate for the Aldermane Board from the 20th district in place of the present holder of the seat, George W. Harris), and that he did this upon his own initiative because he believes "him to measure up nearer to the requirements of the people" than does Mr. Harris. And he adds that he intends to "do all I can to nominate and elect him."
Declaring that he does not intend to deal "misleading" Mr. Hawkins asked for a statement of facts concerning the conference held on Friday night, August 5, and Saturday, August 6, and the names of members who refused to be identified with the proposed move, what committees were proposed, who refused to serve on the committees, and "above all, by whom was this conference called?"
Sledgehammer Questions.
Then follows a series of statements which Alderman-editor Harris is requested to answer "TRUTHFULLY." These cover a wide range, and are as follows:
"(1) When was he (Harris) ever the colored people's candidate for Board of Aldermen, or the candidate of any other body as a whole for that position? Why in love with our race only when he needs them?
"(2) When did he experience the change of heart so as to become so deeply interested in the colored people to the exclusion of his supposed white friends on whom he has always relied 'to put him over?
"(3) 'I can't it a fact that the Harlem Hospital] investigation is a creature of the North Harlem Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association, and that your connection there with was wholly interested? Why try to appropriate the credit to yourself exclusively and to the exclusion of the Medical Association and its energetic officers? Who paid the bills for the investigation?
"(4) The influences he attempted to bring to bear on leading county officials of the Republican Party to secure their endorsement of him for renomination—what did this attempted 'sandhagging' amount to?
"(5) Did he try to bargain off the Assembly nomination in order that he might be renominated for Alderman?
"(6) What has he ever accomplished for the benefit of the people of his district?
"(7) Whom did he support for the election to the Assembly in 1919 when both he and myself were candidates before the electorate on the same ticket?
"(8) Why did he try to get four different men to run against me in the counties of 1920?"
Answering the N. Y. Dispatch
Assemblyman Hawkins, in the other letter, replied to certain structures contained in the New York Dispatch, which is edited by John M. Rowlall. This paper declared that Mr. Hawkins had committed "political hari kari" and states a question, "What was the price? Voters ask." In his letter to Editor Royall, Mr. Hawkins declared that the fight has been to secure political autonomy for the Negro and that the success attained is due wholly to no one in particular but to all who took part in the fight. The structures referred to above, and other statements made by the Dispatch are denounced as wholly unfounded in fact.
Assemblyman Hawkins calls the attention of Mr. Royall to the fact that at a meeting of the Equity Congress held on the first Sunday in April of this year, at which meeting Royall was present, he, Hawkins, had stated plainly that he would not be a candidate for reelection to the Assembly. At this meeting there was present a goodly number of representative people who were interested in this matter. Continuing, Mr. Hawkins writes:
"I have not changed my mind. The 'fiasco' of which you complain is a matter of which the people had not notice from that time on. I did not feel then and do not feel, now that I should put a sign on my back and march through the streets in order that I might satisfy one or two people whose motives are perfectly well understood."
Attention is called to the campaign of 1919, during which Mr. Hawkins states that "I was deserted cold by some... who had apparently been for me, and then, for the benefit of the people as a whole, he gives some detailed information concerning the office of Assemblyman. He writes: "The Assembly job pays only $1,500 a year. The election expenses of a candidate will average about $500 a year. The election expenses will practically fifteen weeks of his life. His carfare alone is $11 each week, not to count his living expenses while in Albany. This economic pressure becoming more than he could stand, Mr. Hawkins decided not to run again, but he
easy. "I have not handed any political authority over to anyone, as you must know, and as your paper would seem to convey. You must know by this time that none of us can live on sentiment, and while I appreciate all the support my constituency has given me, duty to my family and myself compels me to try and gain some assets for our future support."
Mr Hawkins asserts that the attack made by Royall's paper was not as wholehearted as it might seem, and that there is some ulterior motive behind the nuance that the Assemblyman's legislative ability "has been of the most meagre kind and utterly failed to shed either lustre or gratitude upon the courage, anxiety and support of those who valiantly fought to elect him." In fact, Hawkins asks if it is because he failed to place before the convention the name of a man supported by Royall, or is it because he has not generally satisfied Royall in other directions.
The writer of a special article in The Dispatch referred to Mr. Hawkins as "the white colored man." In regard to this, Mr. Hawkins says: "Of course I am not responsible for being light if complexion. I do not think complexion has anything to do with the status of any colored man or woman, whether he or she be dark or light. The raising of this issue is a poor subterfuge, and the raising of such issues among ourselves shows what abortive minds some of our supposed 'deep thinkers' actually have. The same article speaks of me as 'lying down.' I would like to say that the writer of that article has always tried to knock me down, and now that I have retired of my own volition, without him—a Democrat, he claims that I laid down.' It seems that some people can never be satisfied until and unless they hold both 'bag and baggage.'"

"Truth" Takes Up the Cudgels In Bishop-Daniels Embroglio
Calls On the Rector of St. Philip's P. E. Church To Answer in the Matter of Treatment Accorded His Curate
A CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THE REV'D H. C. BISHOP, RECTOR OF ST. PHILIP'S CHURCH, AND "TRUTH."
I bring one of several articles that will appear.)
said unto the Revd. Bishop: Hutchens! Hutchens!
answer me. What has come between thy brother and thy will not listen to me? Thou will not deny me openly because thou darest not; but thou commendest what thou shouldst condemn with thy lips. For you knowest that I am as steadfast as the mountains, yet young as the dawn. I have been thy companion and thy willing guide. Why turnest thy face be no longer entreated?

they kneel; thy very presence as Calebant they find distracting and conflicting, and their thought through your attitude; run wild as the tide of a senseless sea.
Because thou has failed to get together with thy brother in Christ, thy brother with whom thou hast taken sweet counsel together, and walked in the house of God as, friends whom thou didst but yesterday land and praise, thou hath not charity. Thou dost see him led to the Slaughter of Public Opinion and by thy inquintuous silence thou dost consent to it.
But I 1 "TRUTH," will not see my "Supreme Advocate" slaughtered. I will protest and declare him innocent, and I shall summon my strong and appealing army of ministers to the rescue, "the hearts and awakened consciousness of the People," for even the worst, as well as the best in human nature, samuris for fairness and for a treat. For there persists and insists in the heart of man a God-given privilege, the ability to think and reason; and when Sturred by the awakening of his inner consciousness, he reasons clearly and arrives with "Truth" in his hands. When thou dost pray I shall send this conscience to any side and shall whisper unto thee. From all blindness of heart, from pride, vain glors, hypocrisy envy, hatred, malice and all uncharitableness, from all sedition, sea, Lord, from all privy conspiracy, rebellion, hardness of heart, and contempt of God's word and commandment. I "TRUTH" shall join and pray that God shall deliver thee.
But the Rev. Hutchins Bishop answered never a word. But with his weapon, "Power," and his shield, "Silence," with an eloquent gesture, he said: I will explain not! I care not what is that to me? "TRUTH"
NEWS OF THE CHURCHES
St. Mark's M. E. Church.
On Sunday, August 14th, the morning and evening services of St. Mark's M. L. Church were attended by large congregations. The pastor, Dr. W. H. Brooks, was the occupant of the pulpit at the morning service and preached an eloquent and forceful sermon. Text, 10th chapter, Acts of the Apostles, 25th and 20th verses. Theme: The potency of prayer. In the course of his able sermon Dr. Brooks laid especial emphasis on the power of prayer in all walks of life. He asserted that a praying man is essentially different from a non-praying man. Continuing, he said that we should not use God as a piece of convenience by praying only when in trouble but should pray in prosperity as well as in adversity. In the evening Holy Communion was administered by Dr. Brooks, assisted by Rev. Gilbert Wilson, to three hundred and twenty-eight communicants. Seven probationers received the right hand of fellowship and were admitted into full membership. Two persons joined the church.
The Sunday School was well attended and the collection good. The annual excursion which was held on August

Unneeded for Dandraft, Itching, Sore Soapy Pulling Hair. Will grow moustache and eyebrows like magic. It must not be got where hair is not wanted.
Mia. Lovypard writes: "After having used every known advertised hair grower for years with no results I tried Hair Root Hair Grower and doubtfully for 18 months now my hair is 30 inches (12 was 6 inches when I started.) I believe every woman can grow her hair apart from two jashes a superb by means of hair."
THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1921.
11th was a great success.
The services of the Epworth League were largely attended and a good program rendered.
Immediately after the morning service, funeral services were held for the late Mrs. Bertha C. Emanuel. The services were impressively conducted by Dr. Brooks, assisted by Revs. Bolden, Wilson and McCarthy. The church was filled by sorrowing friends who had gone to pay their last tribute of respect. Dr. Brooks' culogy was a general summary of the excellent work performed by Mrs. Emanuel and the various noteworthy achievements accomplished by her during her membership of the church. He paid a glowing tribute to her Christian character, gentleness of manner and ability as an advisor. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. Resolutions were read by representatives of the various church organizations with which she was identified. At all services during the day, the choir rendered excellent music.
First Emmanuel Church
The members and friends of the First Emmanuel Church who attended divine services on last Sunday were treated to two excellent sermons. At the 11 o'clock service the sermon was preached by the Rev. C. T. Hazel, presiding elder of the Wilmington, N. C., district of the A. M. E. Church, Dr. Hazel spoke from St. Matthew 22:42. "What think ye of Christ?" Among the many thoughts uttered he said that we must be clothed in the righteousness of God. If we are not it is our own fault. Let each individual answer in his own heart the question, What think ye of Christ? What is He to you? in your social and business life? and in the every day happenings? Rees, Smith and Hogans assisted in the services and excellent music was rendered by the church, C. Ballon, soloist.
The funeral of Isaac C. Murray was held from the church at 1 o'clock. The Sunday School was opened at 2 p.m. by Superintendent Hogans, who conducted the review of the lesson. A very interesting session was held.
At 3.30 p.m., Mrs. Mary H. Ford opened the Bahai meeting. Mrs. S. Lockett read the prayer followed with a reading by William T. Townsend. Pastor Bolden made an excellent talk. Remarks were also made by Mrs. Ford, Mr. Morris and Miss Silverberg. At the meeting of the Literary Society at 4.30 p.m., Pastor Bolden made the principal address. A few beautiful hymns were rendered by the audience. The program closed with prayer by Rev. Hogans.
At the Rockefeller service, the sermon by Dr. J. Harvey Anderson, former editor of the State of Zion, Charlotte N. C., will listen in the minds of those who heard him. The afflict. "The power of the gospel," was taken from Romans I. 10. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ" for it is the power of God unto salvation. He showed great research and understanding and delivered his sermon with much forcefulness. One young man, Gerald Cox, joined the church at this service, Rev. Gregory, pastor of the Zion Church, Richmond, Va., was present and assisted in the services; also Rev. Hogans and Smith. Dinner was served during the day by the young women at the C. E. M. Curle, Miss. Theresa Green, president; Miss D. S. Small presented $12.50 to the trustees' proceeds from the same.
On Thursday, August 25th Pastor Bolden will take the members of the church and the Rainbow Circle and any others friends who wish to join on the second annual outing to Oyster Bay, L. L., where they will hold memorial services at the grave of Ex. president Thurlow Rosewell. Buss will leave the church at 8:30 a.m.
"The Rainbow Circle held a splendid meeting on Thursday night, which was well attended. Rev. Simpson read from "Hidden words" the prayer followed with a reading by Mrs. D. Smalls.

Stephens took his text from Exodus 25.8. Let them make Me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them. Theodore on which the sermon rolled was "Keeping the Divine among men."

The second part of the sermon was "Providing for the souls and eternal life of men."
In the evening Rev. Stephens' text was Revelation I.1. "The Revelation of Jesus Christ." The sermon was on "The Revelation of Jesus Christ in Nature, in the Scriptures, in the Flesh, in the Spirit."

THE CLIFTON'S 36th
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
In response to the urgent wish of the parishioners of St. David's Protestant Episcopal Church, The Bronx, the Rev Dr. E. G. Clifton, its vector and Mrs Clifton, of 313 East 157th street, put aside their personal inclination and consented to an observance of their thirty-sixth wedding anniversary on Saturday, August 13th, 1921.

MRS. JONAH EMANUEL DEAD:
Mrs. BESSA C. Emanuel, wife of Dr.
Jonah Emanuel, the well-known chi-
ropodist of 268 West 3rd Street, died
thursday, August 11th, at her home,
after an illness of about six weeks,
after a birth in South Carolina, a threiti-
ve year ago, and had been married
ten years.
The funeral services were held Sunday, August 14th, at 12:45 o'clock, immediately following the morning service, at St. Marks M. E. Church, the Rev. Wm. H. Brooks, pastor, officiating. Mrs. Emanuel had been a valued member and active worker in this church for a number of years and was a member of several of the church organizations. The funeral cortege formed by the house and marched to the church, led by the Junior Silver Spray Circle, the members of which bore many beautiful floral tributes which had been sent by various organizations and friends. The honorary and active pallebaeren, and family followed, with the organizations of which Mrs. Emanuel had been a member forming a lane through which the cortege passed. The casket was of grey silk plush, half couch style, enclosed in a solid mahogany axb.
Dr. Brooks paid eloquent tribute to the life of the deceased, of what her friendship meant, her devotion to the church, and her intense interest in the building of the new church. Resolutions from her class, the stewardesses, parsonage committee, mothers' club, church relief, lycum and foreign missionary society were read. Interment was made immediately following the services, Dr. Brooks accompanying the family to the family plot at Woodlawn Cemetery and committing the body. The funeral arrangements were in charge of Clinton Brooks, undertaker, of 121 West 130th street.
