The first installment of the New York "World's" exposure of the Ku Klux Klan as it appeared in last week's AGE referred in closing to a letter from an officer and organizer of the invisible empire addressed to Imperial Wizard Simmons, announcing that the officer and organizer not only resigned his office, but also withdrew from the organization, repudiating it on the grounds of patriotism and decency. The second article published by the "World" was entirely devoted to the reproducing of this letter, written by Captain Henry P. Fry of Chattanooga, Tenn., a southerner of many generations descent. Captain Fry is forty year old and was born and reared in East Tennessee. He graduated from the Virginia Military Institute, was once commandant of cadets at Sewance in the University of the South, and was for a long time a captain in the Tennessee National Guard. He served during the second World War, returning home at its close as a Captain of Infantry Reserve Corps. Last winter, at Johnson City Levy, Capt. Fry was appointed by a Kleagle (agent) who insured him to remain at Klan and later to become a Kleagle of the Klan. The "World" article is a part of...

"They latters receive loving welcome and its eldest engaged member postulates an urgent request for their inside knowledge of its workings, give them special attention to the fight against its further insurrection and the build-up from active participation in the attack. They were still Klansmen. They took it upon the order and felt that, as a result, they had to keep the secrets they had learned. "To this attitude I have been aware that has been our experience. One member of the Klan, who was attracted to the organization, was not attracted by the militantism under his observation in the course of his regular work as a Salamander for Sunrise and Clarke that he not only good at the language of the order, but in a blistering letter would tell us that he had not been interested in the order, but was actually assumed as an officer in the Army of the United States Army.

I further decline, any longer, to keep secret any part or parts of your scheme to establish in free America an Invisible Empire fraudulent in its conception, vicious in its nature, political in its objects, and subject to the will of a self-constituted Emperor who seeks to exploit the American people for his own personal aggrandizement. "I further charge that when in your printed literature you claim that your organization is the 'genuine original Khan', this statement is a fraud historically and a fraud in principle. While you have—without any right whatever—appropriated to yourself the name, regalia and certain nomenclature of the original Khan your scheme is radically different in conception, organization and in purpose. "Ever since your scheme has been actively propagated, there has been a wave of crime in the Southern States, consisting to a large extent of 'private regulations' of the public peace, committed by men who have gone about their respective communities, wearing disguises and taking into their own hands the functions of Prosecuting Attorney, witnesses, Judge, jury and executioner, in direct contravention of the Bill of Rights of the Federal and State Constitutions. Lawbreakers Wear Regalia "In nearly every reported case the perpetrators of these acts of lawlessness have worn disguises, described as 'masks and white robes,' which description corresponds convincingly with the official regalia of the "Invisible Empire." In three specific cases acts of lawlessness have been so openly and flagrantly committed by members of the "Biu Klux Klan" that you have been compelled to take official vigilance. everywhere, the promoters of your scheme have gone, they have ought to enlist as "citizens" the white Gentle Protestant public officials, especially those having in charge the enforcement of the law. No matter how capable, how efficient and how conscientious a public official may be, if he chances to be a Jew or a Catholic, you not only do not want him but your organization is now planning actively to cause all the Jews, Catholics and foreign-born naturalized Americans in this country to be removed from public life. At a time when peaceful relations are existing between the white and black races, you are disrupting the industrial conditions of the South by your anti-Negro propagation and causing a state of interest can result only in dangerous and dangerous consequences. You are publishing, for example, one statement that the Jews are seeking to promote a race war between white people and Negroes, and the animation that the Catholic Church was responsible for the murder of President Abraham Lincoln.

Your Imperial Kleagle is also the head of the Clarke Realty Company, in whose operations I have no doubt you are also interested. These varied financial operations indicate to me that spreading religions and racial battles is a lucrative business for you and your associates. "Your whole 'Invisible Empire' is a cancer in the body politic. It is like some fool and heathen thing that grows and flourishes in the dark, away from the sight of honest men and women. It was conceived in avarice, sired in ignorance and damned in greed. It is now being nurtured in cunning and false pretence and fed upon an unholy list for gold by means of passion, hatred and the prejudice of religious and racial fanaticism." Headquarterers in Army and Navy Club New York In its third article, *The World* disclosed the fact that the salesmen and agents of the Klan had conquered a campaign for members in New York and Brooklyn from headquarters established in the Army and Navy Club, first at 18 Gramercy Park, and later at the club's new home, 112 Central Park South, Said *The World*. "Although the Army and Navy Club maintains no numbered, locked or otherwise segregated letter boxes for members, and all morning mail is pigeonholed alphabetically to be called for over the desk, the Klan propagandists succeeded by some means in having a notorious *Box No. 30* established as their peculiar property, and from that address in full security sent out their approach letters to prospects, with inquiries of envelopes for a reply to the same letter box and street address. "Finally they became so hold that in the open, columns of The Searchlight the newspaper organ of the Klan, they advertised for more salesmen, and invited applicants to write, giving full particulars about themselves to 'Bay 18 Gramery Park, New York City.'" In the sales organization of the law Khazimian, Inc., New York City, is the business partner of Domain for Sales District No. 3, comprising the Northern Middle Atlantic district in the Middle Atlantic State. In the district, the manager, or Grand Guild, under whose supervision the donation solicitors work, is Lloyd P. Hooper. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1921. Mr. Hooper first appeared from the chief local prophetor of the Klan last March, when he maintained a queue of several allojining rooms in the Hotel Embassy, Broadway at 7001 street, where a representative of The World at that time found him established with an office force of several persons who received numerous visitors. Mr. Hooper at that time would neither affirm nor deny his connection with the Klan, merely stating that it was something he could not talk about. "Later he gave up these rooms and a representative of The World, calling at the Hotel Embassy in early July, was informed that Mr. Hooper had left as his address No. 18 Gramercy Park. "It being impossible to believe that any such use of the Army and Navy Club by the salesmen of the Ku Klux Klan had been made with the consent or cognizance of the responsible officers of that institution, The World yesterday submitted to them advanced proofs of the text and photographs. "In answer the officers of the club said A. E. K. and W. K. G. had been found on investigation to be used by Lloyd P. Hooper, when they described as an associate member of the club, not of New York. Immediately upon this discovery the officer of the Club said, they had made further investigation, and had stopped the sending out of Ku Klux literature and the further receipt at the Club of letters bearing the initialed Box 30 address. "Brig. Gen. Oliver B. Bridgeman, N. G. N. Y. retired, acting president of the club, said." "My attitude in the matter was that any individuals or organizations who are trying to put themselves above the Constitution of the United States cannot be loyal Americans, and that while members of this club are entitled to make all reasonable use of its privileges, when any questions of the legality of that use arises, the privilege brought into question must be suspended pending a thorough investigation. The mail in question will either be returned to the Post Office Department or field by me. On this basis, the use of the Army and Navy Club of New York for any such purpose has been suspended." "Bear Admiral Harry McL. P. Huse, now on duty in Washington as a member of the Naval General Board, who is vice president and acting president of the Army and Navy Club of New York, was greatly incensed when shown an advance copy of *The World*'s story showing how agents of the Ku Klux Klan have misused the club to carry on a mail order membership campaign." "Aside from the question of the immorality of the practice, it was a gross abuse of the hospitality and privileges of the Army and Navy Club declared Admiral Huse. 'If any member of the club was mixed up in this matter in any way he should be and will be ignomiously dismissed.' "If any guest of the club has had anything to do with the practice, he had been guilty of the grosses violation of its hospitality and abuse of its leges, and should and will be dealt with accordingly. If an employee of the club has been a party to the practice he will be discharged instantly on presentation of evidence." Peddling Memberships Article four of the series discloses the system adopted by Imperial Wizard Simmons for the securing of members for the order. The World says in this article: "In the 'dining vocabulary of 'Uolk' Simmons, there is no such thing as a salesman. The house-to-house membership peldlers who induce prospects to sign on the dotted line and part with the $10 'donation' consigned to the propagating fund of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Inc., rejoice in the title of Kleigles.

"The general Sales Manager of the Enklux Klan is Edward Young Clarke, who works from the offices of his Southern Publicity Association in the Flatiron Building, Atlanta and whose Klan title is Imperial Klanke. "An important guide to 'Empiror' Simmons, or possibly 'Empiror' Kleagle Klanke, who still spells his own name with a 'realist of the' word." "In the past three or four months we have added with our membership a little more than 48,000 members. In all my years of experience in organization work I have never seen anything to equal the clamor throughout the Nation for the Klan. The headquarters of the domain chiefs are located in New York, Washington, Indianapolis, Denver, Dallas, Houston and Los Angeles. In all these cities our investigators are working eighteen hours a day, and in most instances are three of four months behind their list of applicants. Completely Camouflaged "Although we are located in all the cities named, the Imperial Kleagle added, 'with magnificent office surces on the job, the enemy' has yet to locate us, even though they have made different search. We are completely camouflaged in each of those places and it will be almost a miracle if we are located (i.e. discovered) in any city where headquarters have been established. "The almost miracle has come to pass despite the Imperial Kleagle's prediction. In fact, on the very day when he was making the above statement to his Emperor there was in the office of The World, among a mass of other documents bearing on the character and progress of the Ku Klux Klan Movement, Inc, an official roster of the employees and officers of the propagation Department of the K. K. K., as prepared for circulation from the Imperial Kleagle's office among the sales force, under date of June 15. "The roster shows that on the date mentioned the propagation (sales) department of the Klan had 214 employees working on commission in the Nation-wide field, which for administrative purposes had been divided into eight-sales districts or domains. The names and addresses of these workers, as given in the list were printed in full in The World." The Klan's "Kloran." In the fifth installment, a fascinier reproduction is made of the cover of the Klu Klux Klan's most carefully guarded treasure—its Kloran, or ritual, which contains the secret work of its lodgeroom, including the ceremonies devised by Simmons for making new citizens of the invisible empire. After begetting what he intended to be the most closely guarded secret of the order, Simmons proceeded to take out a copyright on the Kloran, and this, of course, necessitated the filing of two complete copies with the Register of Copyrights, Wash. Goggin, and the payment of a fee of $1. The sacred book is available to all 'tomers in the reading room of the Library in the congress, through the card index system, in any other book copyrighted in the United States is The World continues. "How deeply Simons wished to impress the inviolability of the Knight of his followers appears from an 'imperial Decree' which he issued from his 'Aulik in the Imperial Palace in the Imperial City of Atlanta' on June 26, 1916, and printed under the imperial seal as pages 5 and 6 of the Kibran. Sacred Rock Not for Aliens "The derree, addressed to all Exalted Cyclops (Klan Presidents) and all Klansmen, runs in part as follows:" "The Klanar is 'THE book' of the What Would You Give— Available Empire "and is decreed to sacred book with our citizens and its contents MUST be rigidly safeguarded." The book or any part of it MUST not be kept or carried where any person of the "alien" world may chance to become acquainted with its sacred contents as such." This decree is as binding as if its verbsage was incorporated in the Oath of Allegiance. IN WARNING: A penalty sufficient will speedily be enforced for disregarding this decree in the profanation of the Kloran." "And thereupon, having so decreed, 'Emperor' Simmons, on January 12, 1917, made application in Washington for copyright on his book, which was granted." "In making the Kloran' thus, accessible to the general public, including representatives of newspapers of an investigative bent, is a protraction of the book in the sense of the decree, then Wizard Simmons would seem to have overlooked or ignored his own imperial 'warning' and thus to have laid himself subject to a 'penalty sufficient' to be 'specifically enforced.' "The Kloran as deposited for copyright is a pamphlet of fifty four pages, well worth examination as a literary curiosity, all the way from pages 4, with its 'List of Klan Others With Explanation of Titles', to pages 52, 53 and 54, with more 'Titles and Explanations.' Titles Explained in 4 Pages. "One look at the list of Ku Klux titles will explain the necessity of devoting four pages of 'THE book' to explanations of them. As has been stated before, 'Emperor' Simmons is utterably nonchalant and individual in his use of language, and swings a terrific typewriter on both domestic and imported brands of words. Nowhere is he more impressive than when he goes verbally at least halfway overseas and explains the foreign etymology and derivation of some of his alphabetical jix-saw puzzles. On page S3, for instance, he explains to his trusting disciples that KLAVERN, the Ku Klux name for the meeting place of Klan comes from 'væver'—a large cave-den fails to go on and explain where 'væver' comes from. 'KLOKAR' he makes clear on the same page, is the 'Lecturer or Teacher of the Klan and comes from 'Klof of Kloran', the book, and Kord, meaning a teacher, or reader.' "KLUDD, the Chaplain, he says, is derived from 'Culdee—the high priest of the ancient Druids,' while KLIGRAPP, the Secretary is from 'Kiregrapher—one whose business it is to write,' and KLABEE the Treasurer, gets his nomination from Koba—to keep, and Kees, an ancient Egyptian coin, and means a purse." "KLADD, page 54 solemnly points out, is the Conductor, from 'Kodo—to lead or pull,' KLAROGOI, the inner Guard, is from 'tonuo—to stop or beware, and interrogate, to question,' KLENTER, the Outer Guard, is a head-on collision between 'Koen—to look all around with the eyes' (not with the hands or feet), and 'External—which last word, 'Emperor Simmons informs his followers, means 'outside,' KLOKAN, an investigator comes from Ko—to know, and Kangas—with the eyes." Now About Himself. "But the gem of all these explanations is a stinging enough hold in reserve by Emperor Similius. He gets round to himself and in a score of palpitation, almost quivering, words explains to the citizens of the Invisible Empire one William Joseph Similius and his exalted office. This scentilating verbal jewel deserves a chance to dartle forth all by itself, in italic, thus: IMPERAL, WIL. IIRD. - The Emperor, the Imperial Empire, a wise man, a wonder worker, a charm and control. From Italy, to know, which makes it plain that Emperor Similius hesitates to hate himself just as much as, and no more than, he holds back from manhandling the ancient and much enduring Latin tongue. "Such passages as these are fairly chosen samples of the deep and sacred mysteries to penetrate which thousands of those ready made customers commonly described as 'suckers' have been parting with $10 per head to the mail order house of Ku Klux Klan.

The party labels of Republican and Democrat do not signify much in choosing a mayor for a great city like New York. The city has had able and worthy mayor's like low and Gaynor, one a Republican, the other a Democrat. It has had weak and incapable mayor's of both parties. What is needed is an able executive, who has the capacity and the character to carry through a municipal policy based on the principles of serving the needs of the people. Borough President Henry H. Curran who will be the candidate of the Republican and coalition forces, not only has the requisite experience in city matters but has outlined a policy which met the requisite needs of the municipality. In a personal platform, comprising fifteen concise and solid glances, he set forth his views and plans, as follows: 1. More Homes. The tax exemption ordinance which I fathered has started home building on a big scale. This movement is in the beginning. 2. Government should keep close track of this and other measures to relieve our shortage of homes. When enough houses have gone up, will have to come down. 2. More Schools--We must stop the wrangling between the Board of Estimate and the Board of Education and build schools. We need better reports for the schools that we now have. I favor a greater degree of financial independence for the Board of Estimate, and I have put forth a plan of my own for that. I was in favor of the Lookwood-Donahue teachers' salary law and I am still in favor of it. I believe in a Board of Estimate that will keep its hands off school teaching, and a Board of Education that will keep its hands out of politics. 4. More Playgrounds, Parks and Beaches. The children of our area play on the streets. The game the children play is hide and seek when the police trucks. If they are not killed they win. That is the park. We wish a vacation and comfort to all the children playing there. They have a nice place to play. The park comes true. They have a nice place they should have a nice place we and when we were there we and when 4. Better Transit for z. 5 Cent Fare we have water for a train to the other side of the river than we need to have a train for ours. We must build more railways and build them on the right places. And we must begin building it at once. The present city has a pretty political chairman in power where. A very cent fate is guaranteed but it is no good without a law to take it on. 5. Home Rule. We realize the sphere of the congress State of New York, but we press upon the right to guarantee our own local affairs, without constant interference by the State legislature. The P21 transit law should be amended to give back to us the rights it took away from his. 6. Full Value for Each Taxpayer's Dollar—Less talk about "the people" and more work that really helps the people will bring the about. The city finances need through home cleaning, for instance, I cannot see any sense in adding a drive for the court house, this thing is up with nurses, all the aging the nurses out again, all at the taxpayer's expense. There are limits to what the taxpayer can bear. 7. Law Enforcement—Enforcement of all laws, without fear or favor, but with a decent respect for the privacy of the American home and for the Constitution of the United States. 8. Port and Harbor Development—As an aid in reducing the high cost of living by bringing about cheaper transportation of food and increasing the volume of the city's commerce. We have not had a practical port plan for fifty years. 9. Fair Pay, fair hours of work and the treatment for all city employees. 10. Disposal of the city's refuse without polluting the city we live in either by air or by water or by making one (e.g. through dispose of the refuse of an older house 11. Police Administration, free from favors and either inside or outside politics. 12. Revision of the city's charter to reorganize the city's financial system, and to simplify and make more efficient the doing of the city's work. The new charter should increase the powers of borough government. The city is too large to centralize all its governmental power under the Mayor. There is safety and sense in keeping power close to the people wherever it is practically possible. That rule has been the very basis of American government since 1790, and we are doing very well under it. 13. A city plan that will help people to live near their work and work near their homes. This involves subway routes, port development, zoning and many other city activities that can be steadily directed toward the end. 14: Courtney and accession at the Board of Estimate meetings to the one member to another. The City Hall was not built to be a mergeric. devoted to the city of New York rather than to its own political future and its personal likes and dislikes. We have reproduced Mr. Curran's platform in full, because it so clearly and frankly exposes the weaknesses of the present system and suggests the means of correcting them. Every citizen and every voter should study it carefully and realize how the administration of city affairs touches him in his home and in his pocket. The coalition forces could do no better than to adopt Mr. Curran's program as a platform for the movement to effect a change in city government. The reasons advanced for such a change should appeal especially to the people who are interested in their homes and in their children. The providing of proper housing accommodations, more schools and playgrounds, is necessary to the wellbeing of the entire population. The men and women who realize these facts will do well to work and vote for the ticket headed by Henry H. Curran. DEMANDS OF CITIZENSHIP. Responsible citizenship entails duties and obligations as well as rights and privileges. When the Negro or any other group of the community demands equality of citizenship, he must be prepared to render the same service to the community that any other citizen may render. He must make his contribution toward the public good in some form or other just as the other members of the community do. In politics no party in a great city like New York will make up a ticket without giving representation to the Jews. This is because the Jews have become a power in the affairs of the city, because of their control of finance and business. This has been possible through the acquired instinct of the Jews in money matters and their absorption of knowledge. They also possess that degree of solidarity that holds them together as a race in the support of one another whether it be in business or politics. While the Negro cannot hope to attain such a prominence as that held by the Jew in finances and politics in so short a time as that in which he has pursued these ends, he can at least endeavor to improve his present position. When it is to be considered that the Jew has centuries of culture and training of the most rigid kind behind him his efforts in overcoming the hurdles of prejudice and poverty are not surprising. At the same time they show the value of persistent endeavor. The Negro must emulate the course of the Jew by persistence in the effort to make good in business. He should endeavor to build up a business without prejudice along race lines. By rendering the best kind of service to the community in the lines for which he has developed special aptitude, he can contribute to the wellbeing of the community and at the same time enroll in the ranks of those who doing something for others as well as for themselves. A notable example of what may be done in the way of starting and conducting an essential business in a stable line is the Harlem Shee Store, located at 131st street and Seventh avenue, where a reliable and trustworthy line of goods can be laid at reasonable prices. With the booking of a united support team in the neighborhood, this enterprise could be made such a success, as to demand larger quarters and an increased sales force. Such enterprises as this, multiplied and diversified, would do much to ensure and dignify the status of the Nero as a material factor in the community. Besides affording employment for many more of the race as clerks and salarians, it would increase the number of tax payers and in the development of bigger businesses create a demand for public accountants and other professional men. MEN IN HIGH PLACES. Those who are called to occupy positions in the limelight as teachers, or teachers, or porters are charged with a great responsibility. They are looked up to as living examples of the precepts that they excel at to imitate in the minds of their followers or pupils. Little allowance is made for the human failings common to all mortals; the class that is put on a pedestal is considered to be superior to such imperfections. It is therefore essential that in elevating a man to the position where his acts and words will have such a great influence on others, that care be taken to make sure that he possesses the requisite kind of character that will guarantee him to be a safe person to occupy the pedestal. No man should be placed in such a position unless his character has been so tried and tested as to warrant that his conduct will be such as to make him a worthy example to follow. The highest type of character is none too much to require of a man, who is placed in a position where his manners and conduct will have an influence or the young people who will look up to him as an exemplar and guide. Courtesy, good breeding and refinement should be part of his equipment, but above all the strength or his moral character should be such as to render the smirch of suspicion of any wrongdoing impossible. No amount of eloquence and learning can make up for any flaw in the character of the men who are placed in high places. Their gifts, and attainments cannot atone for the lack of strong moral character. No amount of teaching by precept can offset the fatal results of a bad example set on a hilltop. In choosing a leader in politics, the pastor of a church, the secretary of a Y. M. C. A., or a teacher of youth, the necessity for character should be kept THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1921. THE FIGHT AGAINST THE KU KLUX KLAN. There is an old saying, "It is darkest before dawn." The truth of this old proverb has often been exemplified in the case of the Negro. This is true in the fight against the Ku Klux Klan. For a year the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the colored newspapers of the country have been engaged in a fight against the Ku Klux Klan. The fight seemed to be one of overwhelming odds in favor of the Klan. In spite of investigations and warnings against its nefarious purposes, the Klan has been permitted to move steadily northward, but now there has arisen a champion so powerful that the Klan is already on the verge of a rout. This champion is the New York "World." The "World" has been for three months gathering information, data and documents regarding the Ku Klux Klan, and these it is publishing in a series of articles that will run to fifteen or twenty in number. But that is not all; simultaneously these articles are being published in eighteen or twenty other prominent newspapers throughout the country. The result already has been that the nation and the government have been aroused to the menace of this dangerous organization. A movement is on foot to bring about a congressional investigation of the Klan and its suppression by the federal power. On this point the Ku Klux Klan officers have started a counter move by making anonymous demands for investigations of other secret orders—Freg Masons, the Knights of Columbus, the Knights of Pythias and other fraternal orders. This is absurd. The Masonic fraternity is a secret order but not secret in the sense of the Ku Klux Klan. No man who is a Mason conceals or denies the fact. Indeed, members of these fraternal orders advertise the fact that they are members by parading inpublic without masks or any other disguise. Furthermore, there is no anology between the purposes of these fraternal orders and the purposes of the Ku Klux Klan. We believe that the expose made by the "World" will lead to the complete abolishment of the Ku Klux Klan. DISCOURAGING. One of the most discouraging signs that has come to us of late is the dismissal of Professor Robert T. Kerlin from the faculty of the Virginia Military Institute. Professor Kerlin is a Southerner by birth and has been connected for years with this famous southern institution. For some time he has shown a deep interest in the Negro and has both spoken and written on the subject of fairer treatment for the colored people. Several years ago he made a study of the Negro press and published a very illuminating book entitled "The Voice of the Negro" in which he impressed upon the country the importance of hearing and understanding what the Negro was saying through his newspapers. Professor Kerlin has also shown great interest in the literary achievements of colored writers, especially poets. But Professor Kerlin committed two unpardonable sins. Last June he wrote an open letter to the Governor of Arkansas asking him in the name of justice and humanity to review the cases of the six Negro farmers of Phillips County under sentence of death on account of the peonage riots. In the same month he also attended and addressed the annual conference of the N. A. A., C. P., at Detroit. Both of these acts aroused bitter criticism on the part of those connected with the Virginia Military Institute. The whole affair has resulted in the dismissal of Professor Kerlin. We say it is extremely discouraging to think that such an action would be taken in a state like Virginia by an educational institution. CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE ANTI-LYNCHING BILL. The fight for a federal anti-lynching bill is still going on, quietly but nevertheless effectively. There may be those who because they have not heard much of the measure lately think that it is dead or pigeon-holed. Such is not the case. The fight for a federal law against lynching has divided itself into three phases. The first phase called for sufficient agitation to cause a bill to be drawn, introduced into Congress and seriously considered by Committee. This first phase of the fight is over. Through a decade of constant agitation, publicity and propaganda, lynching has been made such a national issue that the drafting, and introducing of a federal anti-lynching law became an easy matter for any member of Congress. In fact, aside from the Dyer Bill, which now stands on the verge of being favorably reported out by the Committee, there has been perhaps dozens of anti-lynching bills introduced by various members of Congress. Many Congressmen with colored constituents are making the fact that they introduced anti-lynching bills a part of their campaign for reelection. But, as everyone who had studied the question knew, the hardest part of this first phase of the fight was not the drafting and introduction of the bill but the battle on its constitutionality in Committee. The writer in talking with various members of Congress on anti-lynching legislation did not find one who expressed opposition to a law to prevent and punish lynching. But even those who were most favorable to such a law expressed grave doubt over its constitutionality. Ever since the present session of Congress opened, the Dyer Bill has been before the House Committee on the Judiciary, a committee made up of the best lawyers in the House. The fight for the constitutionality of the bill before the committee has been headed by Congressman Merrill Moores of Indiana, who is one of the best constitutional lawyers in the country and largely responsible for the bill as it is now framed. This fight on the constitutionality of the bill has been at times extremely discouraging. Some of the greatest lawyers in the country were consulted and asked to give their aid. The majority of them although sympathetic with the measure, expressed apprehension about its constitutionality. This doubt as to the constitutionality of a federal law against lynching was so strong that even the members of the Committee on the Judiciary from the South, who are opposed to a lynching bill per se, felt safe in declaring that they would be glad to see an anti-lynching bill enacted if it could be done constitutionally. The first decided turn on the point of constitutionality came when Judge Goff, Assistant Attorney General, on July 20th of this year, representing the Department of Justice, appeared before the committee and made a statement regarding the constitutionality of the bill before it. Judge Goff upheld the constitutionality of the proposed legislation and he based his position on that clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution which prohibits a state from denying to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Judge Goff held that a state acts and can and he reached the conclusion that even the acts of an individual when that individual acts in the capacity of representing the state, are the acts of the state. So, for example, if a Sheriff fails to give even to a person charged with crime, the protection of the law due to that person; it is a failure on the part of the state. Judge Goff drove his argument farther when he declared that the Federal Government did have police powers in the states. This was the point on which most of the great lawyers of the country hesitated. They have said, "if the Federal Government has the right to punish lynching, why has it not the right to punish murder and burglary and arson and larceny, etc." Judge Goff answered these questions by stating unequivocally that the Federal Government has the constitutional power to punish any or all of these crimes. Another step forward on this bill was made when on the 9th of August, Mr. Daugherty, the Attorney-General, sent two letters to the committee on the Judiciary in which he fully endorses the position taken by Judge Goff. After the appearance of Judge Goff before the Committee on the Judiciary, the anti-lynching bill was sent to the Department of Justice for further study and suggestions. It was after this study that the Attorney-General wrote stating that he considered the bill constitutional. At the same time he suggested one or two minor changes in the wording which would remove cause for some objections that might be raised and would facilitate its passage. This position of the Department of Justice on the anti-lynching bill is of vital importance. There still remain two phases of the fight. The fight to have the Committee on the Judiciary report the bill out; and the other, the passage of the bill when it comes Before ECongress. We believe the bill will be reported out from committee, and that a rule will be made upon it so that it will come before the House before the close of the next session. It will then be up to every person in the country who is interested in this matter to bring pressure on the members of Congress to vote for the passage of the measure. As soon as Congress opens colored men and women all over the country should get busy and write or telegraph their members in Congress to support this bill. It is better to telegraph—a telegram will gain more attention than a letter. They should furthermore try and interest white people who are in favor of common justice to do the same thing. In the civilized states where colored citizens vote, they should let their representatives in Congress know that they intend to put a black mark in front of the name of each man who votes against or fails to vote for the Anti-lynching bill. PREACHERS PLAY BASEBALL. If any additional evidence was needed to show that baseball is truly the national game of this country, it was furnished in a recent number of the Christian Recorder. According to this denominational authority, the feature of an outing held by the Philadelphia Preachers' Meeting was a baseball game between two teams, composed of ministers, known as the Anderson Stars and the Tarrye Giants. It is stated that a large number of the ministers of Philadelphia and vicinity were present, together with the members of their churches, to witness the pastors clout the ball and run the circuit of the bages. The brethren of the cloth must have been pretty evenly matched as to hitting and running ability, as the score was tied at nine runs for each side. The Rev H. Y. Arnett of Chester and the Rev. Mr. Reed of Darby won mention as the star batters, while the Rev. Mr. Sydes was considered the most spectacular base runner. The Revs. J. G. Robinson, J. C. Beckett and J. L. H. Watkins served as umpires and it is not recorded that any exception was raised to their decisions. That the physical process of the ministry was not limited to baseball is shown by the fact that a pastor from Chester won the fifty yard dash, while the agile and crudest editor of the *Kecorder*, R. R. Wright, Jr. was the visitor in the broad jump, as well as the hop, step and jump. The tie at baseball will have to be played off next year. The only drawback to this splendid exhibition of mightant churchman-hip was the rumor circulated in the columns of the *Kecorder* that there was a sudden increase in sales of limestone to the brethren the next day. If this report was well founded, the parties interested need not regret it. It was well worth a few aches and pains to demonstrate the fact that the ministry will possess members with red blood and active muscles, who are real men, with sound bodies as the keepers for sound minds. The sermons preached by the brethren of the ballfield on the Sunday following their lively exercise should have been permeated by the active sense of living and doing. There is nothing better to blow the cobwebs from a stagnant brain and induce the infux of new ideas than the reasonable indulgence in physical exercise. Let more of the brethren play ball, saw wood and shovel coal, and better sermons will be the result. DIVERSIFIED ENTERPRISES The slump in the price of cotton, due to the unprecedented crops of the past few years, emphasized the necessity for the farmers of the South to diversify their crops, and not to put all their eggs in one basket. The same principle holds true in the diversification of business enterprises entered into by and for Negroes. The establishment of banks and insurance companies has reached a point in the history of the race, where it becomes apparent that there is need for other and more basic forms of business enterprises to form a sufficiently firm and solid foundation for these institutions of higher finance. Instead of starting more banks or insurance companies at this time, the men with capital and business ability should take up the function of manufacturing and marketing those articles of prime necessity for daily needs. The farmers instead of devoting all their attention to cotton, should raise food crops, both for their own consumption and for the market. Background of clothing, shoes and hats. Those who possess, the quality of salesmanship should open stores for the distribution of these articles of necessity. In this way a substantial business basis could be established to support the financial institutions already formed and to foster their growth and increase their activities. Of course, considerable has been accomplished already in this line, but care should be taken less the financial superstructure be pushed too rapidly before the solid foundation of productive and commercial activity is sufficient to justify it. The financial institutions now in existence are largely supported by the savings of the wage earners and the modest business enterprises in successful operation. This is all right, as far as it goes, but before going further this development along the lines of legitimate business should be stimulated to greater results. Let the number of shop stores and clothing stores and grocery stores be multiplied in every section where a sufficient patronage can be insured, before we start any more banks or insurance companies. In localities where this preliminary business development has already been started, and has reached the point where the establishment of a bank will be warranted, it would be the part of wisdom to start that bank. The particular point to be emphasized is that the structure of business development must not be allowed to grow topheavy. Let it grow up from the bottom through the normal processes of production and marketing, and the final development of solid financial institutions, which can do much to encourage further progress. Before we start any more banks or insurance companies, let's have a greater number of factories and stores. BLACK AND WHITE PORTUGUESE J. E. Chamberlin, a Boston newspaper man, writing in the New York Evening Mail, has discovered that there are black and white Portuguese from the Cape Verde Islands living on Cape Cod and other parts of Massachusetts. He also has discovered that as these dark skinned foreigners increased in numbers the white natives acquired a certain dislike for them and "began to talk very much as the Southern white people do." School districts were gerrymandered so as to put all the white children in one district and the black ones in another. No tangible reason is given for this acquired dislike and prejudice, which was brought to public notice through an attempt to lynch two of the black Portuguese charged with crime. This attempt was frustrated through the determined stand of the local officers backed up by the state constabulary. And now it is stated that there is not a shred, of real evidence to connect the accused youths with the crime. Former Assistant Attorney General William H. Lewis has undertaken their defense, which is pronounced "a circumstance which promises that they cannot be convicted in a Massachusetts court except upon positive evidence." Mr. Chamberlin's account of these conditions existing in Massachusetts seems to constitute a severe arrangement of the whites of that section, especially when he sums up as follows: The subject of the supposed encroachments of this colored race is now a very rare one in southeastern Massachusetts; and in the district where they are numerous one would almost suppose himself to be in South Carolina or Alabama. The Bravas themselves are just the same, a rather attractive type of the African race.

The paid secretaries of these organizations conduct their work with the support of the women of their race in the effort to provide the best possible social conditions for the development of Negro womanhood. It is a regrettable fact that Negro women in many places in America are without adequate protection both within and without the law. They need, therefore, every agency within the race that can provide such protection. They are themselves, deeply conscious of their disadvantages, in this direction, and are bending every effort to do for themselves and their own what the force of public opinion has not yet achieved for them. It is a happy moment of the times that white and colored women are coming to know each other and each to understand the problem of the other; and that in their work for their race the colored women of many places have both the encouragement and help of true and stanch white friends. VI.—PROGRESS IN CITIZENSHIP. But the most recent proofs of the progress of the race are in the sphere of citizenship, as revealed in the most striking manner by the war. Here the Negro manifested in full measure all the traits that go to make a worthy citizen. In the draft he furnished not only his full quota, but in the Sue Southern States, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana, he furnished a majority of the men drafted into the service. In the end it was revealed that of the examined for the Negro were accepted on the basis of physical fitness against 1971 per cent of the whites. The race is justly proud of the record of these men both at home and abroad. The first soldiers of the American Expeditionary Force to be decorated for bravery were two Negroes, Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts, members of the 50th, formerly the 15th New York National Guard. Four entire Negro regiments, the 50th, the 30th, the 37th, the 32nd, and the 1st battalion of another Negro regiment, the 50th were awarded the Vieux de Gennes by the French military authorities for heroism in action. In addition there were altogether some 400 individual Negro American soldiers who were given medals of honor for bravery in action, in the face of such conduct, at a nothing short of label upon the face to say that American institutions are in danger at the Negro is accorded the rights and privileges of American citizenship to which his constant loyalty entitles him. Work in the War. In Civil life the Negro made as spilled a record during the war as he did in camp and overseas. In labor and financial contributions Negroes gave unstimulated support to the Government. Much of war industry was kept alive by Negro labor, which took the place of foreign labor which left for Europe at the beginning of the war. Crop production in the South made great advance at this time with Negro labor, which produced more food than the South ever produced before. Perhaps Negroes did not save a great deal of food in the aggregate, for the ration of the Negro has never been too liberal. What saving was done was accomplished, perhaps, in largest measure by skillful manipulation in the homes of their employers. But Negroes, like other THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 17. 1921. American citizens, had an unrestricted chance to show their loyalty in the various was measures that called for financial support from all classes. Out of their limited means Negroes contributed in the several Liberty Loans, War Saving Stamp Campaigns, the Red Cross, and the United War Work Campaigns more than $225,000,000 (455,000,000). These contributions came from people in all walks of life—day laborers, cooks, boothackers, professional men and women, and even from convicts in mines and prisons, likewise from Negro banks, insurance companies, and fraternal organizations. The amounts contributed range from 186. (71,400), the entire world wealth of Gilbert Denham, an 82-year-old Negro of Greenville, Alabama, to the purchase of $100,000. (420,000) worth of Liberty Bonds, by a Negro farmer, David H. Raines, of Louisiana. In one town of North Carolina, the quota for that section was subscribed entirely by colored people, so that it was necessary to increase the quota to give the whites a chance. In all of this there was a spontaneity and loyalty that put not a few groups of other American citizens to shame. In short, American Negroes, in spite of injustice and discrimination, were 100 percent, loyal throughout the war, which is all the more remarkable when we consider that many of those who thought they knew him best expected him to be not only backward and hesitating, but positively disloyal. Nor does his round stop with the war. Since the war no group of people has given less trouble, no group has created less friction in American life than have the 12,000,000 Negroes scattered in all parts of the country. Where there has been trouble, where there has been friction, unbiased investigation has proved that it was not started by Negroes, but Negroes were found to be quick and ready to defend themselves wherever attacked. In spite of predicthion to the contrary the returned Negro soldier has been found to make as good a citizen as he did a soldier; in fact, it is generally agreed that the Army improved the vast majority of those who went through its training and discipline. VII.—CONCLUSION This condensed review of Negro progress since emancipation does not, of course, tell the full story of his achievements. Many things: both interesting and important have been left out. But enough has been given to lay a foundation for two conclusions: first, that the Negro has made a use of the freedom which came to him in the sixties and the limited opportunities which came with it, and this has not only been without prejudice to the best interests of the South, but has been most positive in its contribution to the welfare of the South, and the nation as a whole. In the second place, the conclusion may safely be drawn that, in this period of readjustments for all groups comprised in American national life, the nation as well as the South will not be Backward in its socio-economic and agricultural protection in his home unrestricted opportunity for his labor, impartial administration of the law, equitable disposition of public funds in all that remains to life, and an unrealizing participation in all those interests that command the support of loyalty of worthy American citizens. There is ample evidence today that the American conscience has had an awakening to the justice of these claims. Magazines and newspapers are giving more space to the discussion of Negro life and activity. There is a greater freedom of utterance on the subject, with less of bitterness and intemperance. This is particularly true of the South, and since the war white men and black men in the South have met with a surprising frequency and cordiality for the discussion of those things that affect their common interests. The Inter-Racial Commission Out of this atmosphere has grown a body known as the Inter-Reserve Commission, whose specific purpose is the organizing of committees of white men and colored men who shall work for the equitable and peaceful adjustment of such difficulties between the races, as may arise from time to time in their local communities, and for the prevention, wherever possible, of such friction as may lead to trusting and mob viol- ence, and to secure a proper consideration of the needs and claims of Negro citizens in all matters affecting the common welfare. Such committees have been organized in nearly every county in the South, and their work, though quiet and umobrasive, is producing results that even the most stringent guineae had not dared to expect at the outset. The prospect has never been brighter for carrying forward a sane, equitable, and constructive program of Negro advancement. Not the least significant in this direction has been the recent proposal of President Harding in his Message at the opening of Congress, calling for the appointment of a National Inter-Racial Commission for the study of the problem and the recommendation of appropriate legislation. This Commission, as proposed, is to work in harmony with other agencies, and Commissions already established for the protection and advancement of the interests of the Negro citizens of America. With such a body, having behind it the weight of the authority of the National Government, and having the support and cooperation of public officials of the several States, there is every reason to hope that the future of the Negro in America will continue to be, as it has been in the past, more promising than that of any similar group of Negroes anywhere else in the world. SCARBOROUGH IN ROME WITH EIGHT PRELATES Writing from Rome, Italy, under date of August 20th, Professor William S. Scarborough, former president of Wil伯力force University, Ohio, tells interestingly of his European experiences. His letter is as follows. HOTEL QUIRINAL, ROME "I am now in Rome and am sending you and the readers of Titn, Ack, greeting from the Eternal City. I came on from Paris here and will remain a few days before going to Venice, Florence, Milan, etc. This is my second trip to Rome and much of the ground is familiar to me. My Scarborough and I came here some years ago and stopped at the Grand Continental Hotel. I am now at the Quirinal and like it very much. Some white Americans are here, but they seem to accept the situation. They did it in Paris and at times were very sociable. "In Leamington, England, however, I met at the hotel a different type, and they seemed ill at ease and included to complain. I paid no attention to them. There were about a hundred of them on a pilgrimage to Shakespeare's home—Stratford on the Avon, which was my destination also. There as well. Negotiating people are as thick, as bees. In London I am at the Hotel Cecil where I will remain as long as I am in London, and so have the opportunity of seeing them. "In the group that I am with here in Rome we have three A. M. E. Bishop and five Zion Bishops. The party numbers twenty-one, Mrs. Copper is with Bishop C. and Mr. Watson of Georgia has his wife with him, too.

It was said the meetings would be held in Newark, but where as the question was, in where it would be, Well girls, I will not be lengthy with my letter, but I do hope to meet you somewhere in Newark on the 17th.

Where have you been? I have not seen you in sometime. Do you remember when we were in the same homeroom at Central Those were the happy days 'Nant that right, "Brownie?" It was nice and clear when I started to write, but it is training now. This changeable weather changes my disposition too, because I expect "Lotus Blossom" and "Smiles" up today. I know they are sugar and wouldn't dare come out in all of this rain. If they do come I hope "Laughter" will accompany them and make the rest of the day cheerful for me. Oh girls, I thought it had stopped raining but it has not I know I will have to close now although I would like to let you know whether the "Sugar babies" come out to see me or not. You know sugar melts when water touches it. Well bye, girls the "Chatterbox" I am glad to be a new member of the girls' column, and will be delighted to meet my New York and Plainfield sisters at our first meeting. Seems odd, but I have taken a great deal of interest in "Kid Palmers" first letter. I think fancy dancing is wonderful, too. I am sorry to say I do very little of it "Kid Palmer" we will be delighted to meet you at the meeting, September 17. "Clatterbox" and "Laughter" I think I know you well. I will close, wishing the clubs a great success. With love to and kisses to all "LOTUS BLOSSOM" Although I am a quiet little Miss who never has very much to say (if such can be said of any, female), I have been so highly entertained by your little chats that I have come asking permission to join you all, so that I might that also. I notice that all newcomers describe themselves so I suppose I might as well be conventional. I am about as tall as "Chatterbox" modest as "Brownie" and-and-well I must confess I do not know the rest of you dears but you all are "right there for me; and if I don't get you, won't be any fault of yours," now will it? Well, I must keep in mind that I am only a "rookie" in your ranks and that I must take things "slow and easy" until I get to be a private anyhow. Besides if I say much more I will be contradicting my opening sentence and I really can not afford to do that because as you may readily see I am trying to make an impression album. I know you all are saying to yourselves that "mineralia" is going to be the most talkative of quiet misses. Lovingly. "MINERVA" WHOOP HURRAH! THE H. H.

For the benefit of colored Americans I am republishing in part the opinions of Jack Lait as to how colored performers should dress on the stage and what constitutes "darky" business. These views appeared in a recent issue of Variety in a critique on "Put and Take," the latest colored musical show appearing at Town Hall. In his dissertation Mr. Lait says: "There is, throughout, too much effort to be 'dressed up' and dignified. Quite the very end does it become the novelty that it should be it wants to survive at all and have any excuse for invading. Times Square (colored performers cannot vie with white ones, and colored producers cannot play within an apple) show of Ziegfeld and try to compete with him. On 30th street nother attraction flushed the night before (The Mask of Hamlet) because Italianes wanted to out-Americanize Americans. And here colored folks seemed to have set out to show the white they are just as white as anybody. They may be as good, but they are different, and in their entertainment, any rats they should remain different—distinct, indigenous. "A quarter backed away in dress suits when it would have been a success in plantation impers, etc. The girls watch the can, tawdy gown, and frock, when they should have been fancy-faced as the slaves, zinks, cannibals, and plantation parders. There wasn't enough colorful stuff in the show - total post made. After reading the above it is difficult to understand who owns where people fail and the colored American troops. Unless you go about in our towns, and caring the impressions of anyone, much dignity. Mr. Lay in his room, unconsciously recalls his true attitude toward the colored American in everyday life. Just because his color is not white an American should be DIFFERENT. Environment schools and contact are influent to which an American is not supposed to be susceptible; it colored Neruda life in its times; it must be represented by the plantation type, according to Mr. Lay. Unhappy prisoners are committed to be imprisoned with a stern but such a policy she must meet with the approval of lack late who want to see a quarter dress of plains in a uniform" because the magistrate happens to be Negro. Dearest lady of imprisonment of the first Orchard he coined entanglement parables in the little amount at Sherry and the union board in Sherry be herring the mission. Can imagine than desired learning to Mr. Baldwin way of thinking? I think think Mr. Baldwin would bring the tour singer in question into a parish or union town in which he to stage "Put and Take." So in mentioning the fact that "there wasn't enough time to answer to the show," Mr. Bald gives indispensable evidence of allowing his premise to get the better of his good judgment and humble stage knowledge when he writes: "The girl's worthier to take good and trust, when they should have been favorably appointed to pick. Zulu cannals of a more polite." Mr. Lare seems to be inured with the idea that white people have a capability on wearing pumps, frocks and dresses that whenever a child person does their article of wearing apparel they are invading the sacred premises of the Caucasian. Hence the charge that there colored felts seemed to have seemed to show the white they are put at white as anybody." Just what knowledge Mr. Lare desires to impart when he says "Colored performers can connect with white mice and colored products cannot play within an apple's flesh of Ziegfeld and try to compete with him in the deep for one to fathom. Does he mean to enter that he wearing dress suits, gowns and frock instead of dressed or rather undressed as cannibals members of "But and Take" with white performers? In referring to the girls wearing "traversy gowns" all thoughts of the colored company competing with Ziegfeld's Follies should be dispelled, for everyone knows that the Ziegfeld production is the last word in lavish display of scenery and costumes. Although the reviewer points out time and again that the finale is the only "colored stuff" in the show, he unceriously tells of the many encores scored by the clever dancer, Maxie, of the riot occasioned by little Florence Parham, of the hit made by Cora Green in songs and the laughs put over by Emmett Anthony. Friday evening of last week when I attended a performance of "Put and Take" at Town Hall, Tabor and Green, too, were riot (wearing evening clothes) as was George Breston in his tumbling. Fowworth and Frances also scored heavily in their dancing and these specialities were put on long before the finale. Whether Mr. Larke personally thinks they were rank, infringements on the efforts of white performers is anything, but, nevertheless, the public evinced appreciation in no uncertain manner. The colored orchestra, under the direction of Tim Brisman, is another feature in "Put and Take," but as the colored musicians wear Tuxedo coats instead of jumps, doubles the life of the reviewer was carnised to such an extent that he refused to make reference to the good music played in the pit. The opinions aired by Mr. Lait are typical of views given on Broadway relative to what colored performers should and should not do on the stage. Largely for this reason colored acts do very little "shining" in vaudeville nowadays. The public sets up the cry of too much sincerity. But what are you going to do when the average manager or book-agent entertains similar views as Jack Lait? In commenting at length on Mr. Lait's opinions as to what color performers should wear on the stage, etc., it must not be overlooked by readers of Tare. Anz that the criticisms merely express the views of an individual and not Variety. Mr. Silverman, publisher of Variety, is broadminded and enjoys a promotion for Lair play. if not altogether agreeable, to of us. For the benefit of colored in part the opinions of Jack Lait should dress on the stage and what Quite a number of criticisms made by Jack Lait are well taken, but he certainly "falls off his horse" and shows himself utterly incompetent to write as an authority on "true colored stuff". Plantation, scenes are acceptable and enjoyable at times, as are Zulus, cannels and cotton pickers, but object in "but and take" that much a part of vigor of plantation characters. Of cannels and Zulus we know nothing except from hearss. Now and then a white writer almost a fit of hydrophobia because some colored performer "seeks to imitate white folks". As a mater of tae white actors are always trying to imitate colored oils. Rent Williams sought to vigorously complain of the Al Jolson, Frank Tintney and other white comedians using cork. Then there are some white acts mayendeville appearing in brown face. Just let something on the order of the shumy be introduced by colored people and all the cabarets in Harlem will be invaded by white actors and actresses until the new movement has been perfected and not on downstream of Shuffle Mouth. The band was contagious by white letterers then personal use and "But and Take" will suffice a similar fate if it remains on Broadway any length of time. So with white conditions doing blacks- take, white performers making up high yellows and tinting browses where men appearing as Negro ministers and white women making reputations as singers of what are commonly known as "black songs." It is about time for colored writers to take compassion on thems so completely wrapped up in their self-confidence plus selflessness and emancipate them for the absurd notions they internately entertain about tull-fledged Americans and American customs.

THE LINCOLN THEATRE Tom Mix, the William Fox cowboy star, told a hipop all-round in "After Your Quan Heart," which was shown at the Lincoln Theatre for the first time Thursday. The picture is well put together and every man and woman in it had plenty to do in supporting their speedy star. William Wallace Cook, the author of the story, apparently took a page of his book of personal memories of days on the range, and he has interpolated an exceedingly pretty romance. In addition, the author has put into the story one of his theories about how ranches, will be run in future. He has an airplane to help in the round-up, and autos used by the cowboys. It's a rollicking Mix story.

Successfully Defends Title Kid Rash Wins Easy Victory Over Regimental Comrade in 12 Rounds--To Star in 47th Reg't Bouts, Brooklyn Kid Rash, the bantam weight champion of the 15th Regiment, successfully defended his title against Kid Clark at the weekly show at the 15th Army on Friday night, September 9th. Friends of Clark claim that his left hand was strained from a bout in Atlantic City earlier in the week, and that this prevented him from doing his best in the fight. However that may be, Rash was not in danger from Clark at any time during the fight, and won every round. Rash's fight in one of the main bouts at the opening of the 47th Regiment in Brooklyn the latter part of the month. The main bout of the evening, between Johns Duffs and Johns Hayes, was a farce, and was discontinued in the eight round because of the post exhibition made by Duffs, who took considerable punishment; but did very little fighting. In the preliminary bout, Young Jack Blackburn and Barney Williams fought four rounds, to a draw in one of the best bouts of the evening. Kid Speeks of the 11th was knocked out by Joe Black in the second preliminary Young Kid No Stewart Fight 1 Young Kid Norfolk and Dan Stewart Fight 12-Round Draw The semi-final attraction at the Commonwealth Sporting Club on Saturday night, September 16th, brought together Young Kid Norfolk, and Dean Stewart in a twelve round斗牛 to the lightweight championship of Harlem. This proved to be a real slugging match, with both fighters coming away at each other all the time. Although Young Norfolk showed more skill than the opponent, he was not nearly so aggressive. The judges decision making the final a draw met with the general approval and both fighters swapped 150 rounds. Young Kid Norfolk although only eight years of age is one of the most promising lightweights in Harlem. He showed that he possesses the qualities of a good fighter when a few weeks THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK RESERVE YOUR SEATS NOW WHY HAVE OVER 18,000,000 PEOPLE, INCLUDING 600,000 NEW YORKERS VISITED THE OLD CONVICT SHE "THE OCEAN HELD" NOW AT WEST 129th STREET CONVICT SHIP "THE OCEAN HELL" Open for Public Inspection from 10 A.

From reports we have received no eastern team gives evidence as yet of standing out as the champions for the coming season, and for this reason the season will be a very interesting one. John Shelburne, the former Dartmouth star, will strive to turn out a championship team at Lincoln while Dr. Morrison at Howard will try to again capture the eastern championship for that school. However, both of these schools will play their players because of the present business depression, as these players, along with a large number of other college students, have been unable to secure work this summer, and unless financial assistance is given them, will not be able to return to school.

Y. — The general fund of New York City has been augmented by a check of $443,187.38 from Secretary of State John J. Lyons. This amount represents what is due the city in the division of motor vehicle receipts between the state and the counties. Incorporately, it is the largest sum which the city ever received from this source. All told, Secretary of State Lyons has sent the city $897,054.29 since the first of the automobile year. Last six months have proved record losses to Secretary Lyons office. More money has been taken in during this six months, while he had supervision of the motor vehicle bureau, than during all of last year. In dividing the three millions, the act becomes a fitting climax to Mr. Lyons' supervision of the automobile bureau, which was recently transferred, by law, to the Tax Commission. U. S. ATTY., J. C.

A writer of jersey orpus was brought in his office to attackness arguing that the Commer General of Immigration had properly construed the act passed Congress May 19, 1921, makingations dividing the annual quota twelve monthly parts. Prosecutor Thomas, in his argument declared that the Commer General under the new law pro-ample power and authority to divide the annual quota into twelve parts, and Judge Mack upheld the interpretation in every respect. Attention is called to the fact that this restriction of immigration does not apply to new corners from land of the West Indies. AT ST.

New York Pay Former Curate which the response came "No!" Dr. Bishop, he said, refused to make any charge against him, yet he believed and accepted the false statements that had been made against him by others. When Mr. Daniel first came to St. Philip's he received only $500 a month, out of which he had to pay his rent and living expenses, besides carfares, telephones, postage, &c., for the church. After some years he was allowed extra money for carfares; then his salary was raised to $1,000 and more recently to $2,500, which it was at the time when he was dismissed. During Dr. Bishop's illness of a year or more, some years ago, he never received a single cent extra compensation; nor had he ever received a Christmas present from the Parish. He branded as absolutely false the story that he and others were engaged in an attempt to oust Dr. Bishop, and since he had done nothing but his duty while curate, had been faithful to the church and loyal to Dr. Bishop as his superior, he determined not to resign, but would stay until forced out.

In an interview given out in the Turkish city, Dr. Brown declares that Prince Lajaso, who occupied the throne for a time in 1916, is making a strong bid to regain his position as ruler, thereby displacing Menelik's daughter and son-in-law, who now rule jointly. It is the New Yorker's opinion that internal war is imminent, to be fought out on sporting lines as soon as the rainy season is over. "Their fighting custom," said he, "is to agree to meet at a given time and place and let the contending armies have it out. They are one round with rifles their use knives. "When one side or the other is victorious the dead are buried, the wounded disposed of in some manner and then everybody goes home, quite satisfied." Queen Shares Throne. "Since the death of King Menelkil the throne, has been jointly occupied by Queen Wawzun Zaudutu (daughter of Menelkil) and Prince Kats Tatfari Makonnen, a son of a brother-in-law to Menelkil. "Neither signs any documents but the royal seals are put on to attest their mutual consent. The throne was occupied for a time in 1910 by Prince Liasso, who appears to be a jolly fellow. "But he got in trouble by catering to his Mohammedon subjects on the Red sea. The Coptic Christians, who form the majority of the people and who are said by some to be the lost tribes of lreal, objected and a battle was fought in which the prince was defated. "He escaped to the Dunkah lowlands and nothing was heard from him until the end of 1920. Lately he has been making headway in the highlands, where two tribes declared for him, and now he is marching in the Tigrian country. "The Abyssinians are the only wholly independent people in Africa, and they let you know it," said Dr. Brown. "since they defeated the Italians in the 500 they have gone around with their heads in the air. "The country is rich in possibilities, but they don't wish to have it exploited by anyone." not placed upon money, $4,371.26 was given during the seven weeks.
