Policemen Southern White Writer Takes President Harding's Birmingham Speech as Text for Declaration Which Threatens Death to Negroes of South "Shot Guns to Sing With Negro on Near End of Gun" and "Rifles Will Crack on Every Hill in Dixie" Before Negro Gets Political Rights "Colonel Mayfield's Weekly" is published at Houston, Texas, evidently by one Col. (?) Mayfield, as indicated by its title. It is comparatively a newcomer, the issue of November 5th being the seventh number of the first volume. Its motto, printed at top of first page, is "Just to pep up the game; this slow life is killing me." The publisher and editor is evidently of the belief that living up to this motto necessitates stirring strife and enmity between white and colored people. A clipping taken from the issue of Nov. 5th has been sent to this office by an AGE subscriber, who makes comment as follows: I am enclosing herein a clipping from a rebel and Negro-hating paper published in Houston, Texas. You can use it to inform our people of what appears to be imminent danger, plainly evidenced from the writing therein. The Ku Klux Klan so far has done us no great damage, but we can't say just when it will. Please publish this clipping in your paper if in your opinion such it advisable, for I think our people ought to have this information." The article might appropriately be headed "The Colonel's Nightmare." It was written following President Harding's Birmingham speech, and its caption was: President Harding's sudden Blunder—Famous 'Jackass' Speech of Authority and Grace Into Insignificance Compared to Harding's Irremediable Break—Strife and Bloodshed Ahead." THE AGE is reproducing this article verbatim. Its incendiary and trouble breeding nature, to say nothing of its threats of death to the Negro, indicates the character of utterances emanating from Southern writers of a certain kind. The article fice in the South the rifle will crack on every hill and hamlet in Dixie land. The effects of that speech will be coming to light for many years in the way of little mounds and marble slabs scattered all over the Southland. The joint Harding has declared for abolition of the white and coloured races in everything save social function. is near that he favors the coon in tenure. I will not say anything disrespectful of the president, nor will I permit anyone else to do so, but, Mr. Harding, you have made the crowning blunder. (Continued on second page) It meant that he favors the abolition of the Jim Crow laws. It means that he favors the joint usage of public hotels. It means that he favors negroes in office, and that a negro governor of Texas would be acceptable to him. COLORED STUDENT WINS SCHOLARSHIP It mean that many a shot gun in the South will be singing "Nearer, My God, to Thee" with the negro on the near end of the song. Those words have done an irreparable injury to the South. Those words will prove more injurious than anything that has come out of the North since the tarp-hoppers spread over the land. Pitiful bluder of all the ages. (Special to The New York Age.) New Rochelle, N. Y.-Elmer Howard Harper, of 112 Chaucey avenue, who recently distinguished himself by carrying off a prize in a contest for West- chester County public school students, has again won honor for himself by winning a $100 scholarship at Hopkins Institute, which was awarded for general excellence in studies. Elmer is a colored boy, and his record indicates that he has a promising future. The whole South stands appalled. The South has no solution for the negro problem. It has been staving it off year after year. This will rust the trus. Congressman Ansorge Active In Support of The Dyer Bill Congressman Martin J. Ansorge from the 21st New York district is tireless in his support of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill now before Congress for final consideration. The editor of Tinn Acus in receipt of the following communication from Mr. Ansorge: energy for the public good. "The necessity for an Anti-Lynching Bill is apparent from a casual examination of statistics of lynchings in this country. The failure to bring to justice the perpetrators of past lynchings, is responsible to a great degree for the continuance of the practice in some of our states. Under our system of law and jurisprudence, punishment is moved out, not in a spirit of revenge, but for the purpose of acting as a deterrent for future crimes. The failure in some states to punish lynchers is a clear failure to grant the protection interposed to all people, irrespective of race, color or creed, under the 19th Amendment to the Constitution." "Dear Mr. Moore: I thank you for your congratulations and good wishes. I am enclosing a copy of a letter which I have sent to Mrs. Dora Organ, woman leader of the 22nd Assembly District. She is holding a meeting in favor of the Diver. Anti-lynching Bill. Your letter has been filed by me as a petition under Rule 22. Section I, for submission to the Judiciary Committee or its deputy in Congressional Records, page 193 under date of January 6, 1922." The passing of the Anti-Lynching Bill will help to clear the good name of Americans among the victims of the war. "I am glad you are building a movie on blossom next year and have arrived, public amenities. In typical of the process of an Arabian film that we had in writing in the past half-century, I must tell a story in this and now have more time to work on your movie and we are ready." "Washington, January 5, 1922. Dear Mrs. Ogun I want you to know that your tireless efforts and cooperation in connection with the passage of an Anti-Lynding Bill in Congress, is thoroughly appreciated. Support from below in thought and in responsible action is most encouraging and helpful. I wish there were more time to think what, without thought, could be or should be done. Luther "Curly" Boddy As He Appeared When Arraigned Before the Philadelphia Court on Monday Judge Amos M. Scott, Philadelphia's First Colored Magistrate, Who Effected Capture of Boddy AMOS SCOTT SAPULA GROS MADE Another Version of Shooting By Eyewitnesses of Crime There is one phase of the killing of Detectives Miller and Buckley which has not been touched upon in any of the published reports. The shooting happened, as stated above, just four doors from THE AGE office and three doors from the residence of the editor, Fred R. Moore. It happened that the street was wellnigh deserted, which was unusual for so early an hour in the evening. But it has come to THE AGE that one or two, perhaps more, of the folks living in the neighborhood happened to be at their front windows. And a statement purporting to come from one of these persons would seem to place a different aspect upon the shooting. This witness declares that as the two detectives and Buddy (they were only identified as "three men") came from Seventh avenue, two men, either white or light enough in complexion to be mistaken for white under the street lights, came from toward Eighth avenue. This witness further declares that the shooting occurred just as the two men were meeting the three men, four shots being fired in rapid succession, without any perceptible break in the continuity of reports. As the two men, collapsed, according to this witness, the third man of the group coming from Seventh avenue turned quickly and ran back the same way he had come. The two men also turned, starting as though they were returning to Eighth avenue. But before they reached the station house at 246, these two men turned again and came back to the scene of the shooting, mingling with the people who had begun to assemble, including even the uniformed and plain clothes men from the 38th precinct. It is also asserted that an unidentified man was seen to start out from the vestibule leading into THE AGE office and run across the street, also mingling with the crowd. If this version is true, then it brings into the case the fact that Buddy had confederates, probably in some other crime, who thought that he was being aphended under the charge. It is recalled, in this connection, that just a half-hour earlier, on West 140th street, had occurred the holdup of Jacob Beltja, a landlord who was robbed of $800, and the killing of Charles Johnson, a colored janitor employed by Belkin. Following the killing of Detectives Miller and Buckley, officers who went to 60 West 133rd street in search of Buddy found another man, William Caine, hiding there in the alley. Caine was apparently bound on one of the men arrested in the investigation, with another. His body was found. Samuel A. Gibbs of 82. Scheinectady avenue, Brooklyn, was appointed on December 1st, 1921; by William McAdoo, Chief City Magistrate at 300 Mulberry street, as probation officer, the appointment taking effect January 1st, 1922. Mr. Gibbs was sworn in on Wednesday, January 4th, entering immediately upon the discharge of his duties. His district embraces all of the territory month of 9th street, Manhattan, including The Bronx, and he is to be particularly concerned with cases of domestic trouble arising within colored families. Mr. Gibbs took the examination for this position in February, 1919, with three other colored men. Of the four, three passed; Mr. Gibbs, E. H. Wilson, Jr. and Robert L. Elzy of the Brooklyn Urban League. Considerable criticism was stirred during the past three years by failure of the Civil Service Commission to certify either of the three eligibles for appointment. A member of the race, Charles C. Allison, Jr. has been for some time giving acceptable service as a parole officer, with Harlem headquarters at P. S.; 89. Mr. Gibbs will be stationed at the Family Court. 15F East 57th street. He is a native of Georgetown, S. C., but New York City Subway Official.

A. Miller and Francis J. Buckley, attached to the 38th precinct, West. 135th street police station, were shot and killed on Thursday night, January 5th, about 8:25 p. m., the shooting occurring in front of 222 West 135th street, just four doors from the office of THE NEW YORK AGE. The officers had in custody a young Negro, Luther Boddy, known by his familiars in the underworld as "Curly," and this youthful criminal is under arrest charged with murders of two policemen. "Curly" was not under arrest at time of the shooting, it is said. The two officers wanted to question him concerning the shooting of Policeman Jasper Rhodes, a colored patrolman, which occurred on December 19th. On parole from Elmira, Boddy was under the custody of reporting at stated intervals to and Thursday night at eight o'clock was his time for reporting. Knowing this, Officers Miller and Buckley went there and waited until Buddy had reported, and then they asked him to walk around to the 135th street station so they could ask him about the Rhodes shooting. The three men walked from Lenox avenue through 135th street towards the police station, which is at 246 West 135th street, near Eighth avenue. They crossed Seventh avenue and had reached a point just in front of 222, about halfway from Seventh avenue to the station house, when four shots rang out in quick succession. Detective Miller fell with a bullet hole ploughed through his head, the ball entering at the chin and passing upward through the brain. His partner, Buckley, fell with a bullet in his abdomen, neither of the officers having had a chance to draw their guns. The street was practically deserted, there being very few passersby. But the shots aroused the neighborhood and in a very few minutes aid was being provided for the stricken men. Private autos were commandeered and they were rushed to Harlem Hospital. Miller was unconscious from the moment he self and died without being able to make a statement. Buckley survived for several hours, during which time transfusion of blood from fellow officers was tried in a vain effort to save his life. He retained consciousness for some time, but the only statement credited to him was made to his wife. He is reported to have said to her, "They got me! they got me at last. I tried to get him, but he got me." The entire police machinery of New York City was put into motion to effect the capture of Boddy, who had made good his escape in the excitement following upon the shooting of the officers. It was immediately assumed by the authorities that Boddy had done the shooting, and so all their energies were bent in this direction. Their first attention was directed to 69 West 133rd street, known as one of Boddy's haunts. Man Charged With Another Murder Is Arrested. Here was found one William Caine of 265 West 47th street. Caine was armed with a revolver containing one discharged cartridge, and it is alleged that he put up a stiff resistance to the officers, who thought he was "Curly" Boddy. Parole Officer Allison reached the scene shortly afterwards and saw that the man was not Boddy, but the officers decided to hold. Caine on-charge of having a revolver. He had been handled roughly by the officers and was taken to Harlem Hospital for treatments. There Caine was connected up with another murder which had occurred on West 140th street just a half hour prior to the shooting of the officers on West 135th street. Jacob Belkin, a real estate dealer, of 58 West 105th street, accompanied by Charles Johnson, colored, of 161 West 140th street, employed by Belkin as a janitor, had been collecting rents. He had made his last collections at 275 West 140th street. Belkin started to the elevated station at 140th street and Johnson turned back to his home on the next block: Hearing his employer's voice crying out for help, Johnson ran back to Belkin, who was being held up by a group of bandits. Johnson did not get to him for he was met with a bullet from one of the bandit's gun which passed through his head, killing him instantly. Robbed of 4000, after being battered and beaten by the robbers, Belkin was in Harlem Hospital for treatment. Caine was brought in, and the landlord identified the man as being been one of his assailants and robbers. Caine was then sent for the murder of Johnson. Later reports are that Caine was an seriously injured resident suspect that he died in Harlem Hospital on Mondayuary 9th. Molly Disguised as Woman In the investigation this lady was found dead. Crime has no allow to do with race and skin color than it has to do with height and hair color. And yet in our psychology we are constantly identifying crime and race. Why? Because of newspaper headlines and emphasis. This was a super headline in the New York World, page-wide, and the very first thing on the front page, even superceding the name and date of the paper itself. Every human mind that read it, associated "Negro" and "crime," two ideas that have no more need to be associated than "red hair" and "crime" or "Fifth Avenue" and "crime," or any other two casually unconnected ideas. This is exactly the damage that Southern newspapers have done to Southern psychology, caused it to conceive of race and crime as cause and effect. Northern newspapers can easily do the same thing—Well, what should the World have said in it sacre-head? This. Then in the detailed account, among other irrelevant items and ideas, the reader could have found out that this particular criminal HAPPENED to be colored, just as, perhaps, he happened to have a wart on his nose or brown shoes on his feet. And there would have followed no impression that either the color or the wart or the shoes had any causal connection with the crime, but that they only designate and describe the individual criminal. But we cannot play up RACE with the same display with which we play up CRIME, without causing the race of the criminal to be equally culpable with his crime,—in the psychology of the average man. This is what causes innocent Negroes or innocent Jews to be molbed when a crime is committed by a member of their race with whom they do not even have personal acquaintance. It is because the race itself has been mixed into the idea of the blameworthy. The same thing happens in the mind of children (and older folk) when they see certain types of races depicted on the cinema screen exclusively and often as villains. Only last night when the screen was showing a Chinaman of the underworld wielding a great knife (to hepl one white man to rob another white man), we overheard a ten-year-old colored child of the audience remark: "Those old Chinese and things are always trying to kill somebody." An accumulation of headlines like that in the World can produce a riot like that of Atlanta, or Chicago, or Tulsa. in the public school, 135th street and Lenox avenue. I am through my parole. I am not on parole, contrary to newspaper reports, but I went to see the parole officer on some other business, and while I was there talking to him these two detectives came in. Well they waited until I got through talking and stood in the hall until I came and they started talking to me and asking me what I knew concerning this Rhodes shooting, so I told them I don't know anything about it, and they said 'How did this rumor get out that you done this shooting?' I told them, 'runners will get out.' I am across the street there every day in the bootblack parlor. If you wanted me why didn't you come after me before? "So then they said, 'We are not going to lock you up; we just want to take you over to the station house and find out what you know about this.' Of course, in New York City what they mean by taking you to the station house is, they take you over there and kick you around for two or three hours, and I had had that done to me several times, never have been wanted for anything, but just taken over and kicked around, and then go home and stay in bed a week and rest up. So I walked along with them, asking them not to take me over there, because I knew what was going to happen to me. They could come over to the bootblack parlor any day, but they insisted on taking me, and I walked along with them until we got within four or five houses of the police station, then I guess my temper suddenly flared up. Why should I always be bost up for nothing? It seemed everything was in a daze and I hired shots at the officers who had me under arrest. I don't remember even how many shots, and I ran." As to his movements after the shooting, Boddy said he hid in a hallway close to the scene of the crime for nearly twenty-four hours. He got out of the city by way of the Hudson tubes to Jersey City. On the Plank Road he claims to have held up a man from whom he took $7 or $8. To Newark, to Elizabeth, to Montclair, to West Orange, back to Elizabeth and to Orange, then to Newark, when he began his wild taxi ride of Saturday night. After the taxi stopped near Glen Lake, and Boddy disappeared, he says that a passing motorist gave him a lift to the outskirts of Philadelphia. Here he boarded a trolley car and rode to the Rodman street boarding house where he was apprehended. Magistrate Scott told very briefly of his share in the capture of Boddy. Reaching the house, he said,— "We found the door open by the man who told the minister. We crept in. Boddy was asleep, the woman's clothes on the floor. Without waiting I shoved a gun into his stomach and woke him up. Bonner covered him. "You're Luther Boddy, the man who killed two detectives in New York.' I said. He looked up at me and, I'm the man you want.' He didn't try to fight, although he said he would have got me if I didn't have the gun right in him. "He pretended his shoes didn't fit him—the woman's shoes. So we just dragged him up and led him without shoes for six blocks, until a patrol wagon came and took him down to Police Headquarters." The funeral of Detective Miller was held on Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock from the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of Victory, Throop avenue and McDonough street, Brooklyn, his home having been at 125 Decatur street, that Borough. Miller is survived by a widow and eight children. The funeral of his fellow officer, Buckley, was held on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, from the Church of St. Charles of Barromo, 214 West 141st street. The procession started from his late home at 269 West 136th street and proceeded through 86th avenue and 135th street, past the 38th precinct station and past 222, the spot where the police officer was shot down. Large details of police officers, headed by Police Commissioner Richard E. Enright, the police deputy commissioners, the five chaplains, and the police band of 125 uniformed men, which played dirges along the entire way of the funeral processions were in attendance. In the funeral procession following the body of Detective Buckley were a group of colored women police reserves, and a group of Harlem colored citizens who thus expressed their sympathy with the bereaved family and their desire to cooperate with the authorities in enforcing the law. It was a noticeable fact that the crowds that thronged Harlem's street during the passing of the Buckley funeral contained many more colored people on bookers than white, and the general atmosphere was that of reverent respect. This was shown by the universal baring of heads while the hearse bearing the body was passing, and when the national and departmental flags were borne past.

J., where his mother lived and Belleville, N. J., where other relatives live. Then Monday morning's paper's brought a story, which told of Boddy's appearing near the Hudson Tube. Terminal in Newark, disguised in women's clothing and forcing a taxicab chauffeur, Adam C. Adalato, at point of pistel, to drive him towards Philadelphia. The taxi driver, it told, took advantage of an exhausted gasoline supply to stop at a point near Glen Lake, Pa., between Trenton, N. J., and Philadelphia. This stop was made at about 4 o'clock Sunday morning, and the taxi driver had been piloting his machine over Jersey and Pennsylvania road since 9:30 o'clock Saturday night. He declares that Boddy, when informed of the gasoline situation, instructed him to stop the first car that passed. Adubato, in his statement, said that the first car wouldn't stop, but the next one that came along slowed up and stopped about twenty feet away from his car. Adubato jumped on the running board of this car, he states, and cried to the driver, "For God's sake keep on going! I've got a murderer in my car and he is going to stick you up." The motorist quickly stepped on the gas and the car jumped forward, with Adubato climbing over the side into the tonnead. He reports that as Boddy realized what was happening, and the car shot away, a bullet from Boddy's revolver whizzed by, shattering a side lamp.

The local police State Constabulary then took up the chase, but when they were found, indicating that he was trying to make his way to Philadelphia. It was in Philadelphia—in a house at 2030 Rodman street in Philadelphia—that he was captured on Monday morning.

The local police and the State Constabulary then took up the chase, but when they reached the abandoned taxicab, Boddy had disappeared. Traces of him were found, indicating that he was trying to make his way into Philadelphia. And it was in Philadelphia—in a house at 2030 Rodman street in South Philadelphia—that he was captured on Monday morning by Amos Scott, Philadelphia's only Negro magistrate, who was elevated to this office by the people at the November, 1921, election. He took office a little more than a week ago, on January 1st. The story coming from Philadelphia shows that members of the race were altogether responsible for apprehension of the fugitive. Boddy was looking for his aunt, Martha Hopkins, but could not locate her. Then he went to the Rodman street place, a boarding house, at about 8 o'clock Sunday night, and asked for a room. The landlady assigned him a room on the second floor and he went immediately to bed. The woman's attire he had used was wrapped up and put under the bed, he slipped off his trousers and the woman's shoes he had been wearing, put his pistol under his pillow and went to sleep. One of the boarders, John Coleman, got a glimpse of Boddy and his suspicions were aroused. Early Monday morning Coleman called up the Rev. Charles A. Tindley, pastor of the Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church and told him he believed this new boarder at the Rodman street house was Boddy. Dr. Tindley immediately went to the office of Magistrate Scott, relaying to him the information received from Coleman. This was about 9:30 p'clock on Monday morning. Magistrate Scott Buys Revolver.

"One man cannot capture him single-handed, I'll go with you," said Mr. Scott. "On the way to Rodman street the magistrate, who was unarmed, stopped in a pawnshop, and tried to borrow a revolver, showing his badge to the shop owner. The pawnbroker refused, however, to furnish the weapon unless a deposit was left, so, fearful of delay, Mr. Scott paid $5 and received the pistol. When the men reached the boarding house, they were informed in a whisper by the landlady that the man they suspected was still asleep. Judge Scott and Policeman Bonner made their way to the second floor, where the door to the room in which Boddy slept had been quietly opened by Colleman, the man who informed Dr. Tindley. Creeping in, they found Boddy asleep. Scott woke him up by shoving his pawnshop gun into Boddy's stomach. With lightning-like quickness, the hunted man attempted to reach under the pillow for his automatic, but Scott told him to lay still or be riddled with bullets. The officers then took possession of Boddy's gun and forced him out of the bed.

Boddy, though only twenty-two years old, has a considerable crime record, covering the past four years. According to the police books, his record is as follows: Boddy's most distinguishing feature is a rigid, livid scar running from the base of the left ear to the chin. "Curly" Boddy's last Elmira sentence would have expired Tuesday, January 10th, it is said, and while he has been on parole, the report which he made on Thursday night, January 5th, to Parole Officer Allison was the last he would be required to make. His wife, Dora Boddy, was at the time an inmate of Auburn Prison, on a grand tarceny charge, and she had been granted a parole which took effect on Friday, January 6th, the next day after the double killing. She reached New York to find her husband aigitive. When arrested in Philadelphia, Boddy acknowledged that he had been in custody of Detectives Miller and Buckley but disclaimed any connection with their being shot. He declared at first that the detectives had questioned him in connection with the shooting of Policeman Rhodes and that he had walked with them towards the 135th street station. They had decided that he was the man they wanted and they had set him go. Boddy said. two New York detectives were present when he was and, and it was noticed that he avoided their eyes as much stable.

It has been advanced as an argument in support of this construction that it would have been practically impossible for Boddy, in the custody of two old and experienced officers who had full knowledge of his criminal record, and who were supposedly watching carefully for any sinister movement on his part, to have drawn his gun, and fired, first to the right into Miller's head, and then to the leit into Buckley's abdomen, before either of the men could draw and use a revolver.

In a number of the accounts it has been asserted that Boddy probably committed this crime of drug.

His one habit was smoking cigars ordinary fondness for the long, use by some smokers. If Buddy's confession is genuine, it is still possible that he may be playing the game as he sees it and trying to shield companions who were making an effort to come to his rescue. In a number of the accounts published in New York dailies, it has been asserted that Buddy was a dope fiend and that he probably committed this crime while under the influence of some drug. In this connection, Parole Officer Allison states that he is satisfied that Buddy is not a drug addict. The paroled man had been reporting to Mr. Allison at regular intervals since being released from Elmira, and the parole officer declares that there was never any sign that would indicate the use of drugs. Nor was the man given to use of intoxicants, according to Mr. Allison. His one habit was smoking cigarettes and he exhibited an extraordinary fondness for the long, slender cigarette holders seen in use by some smokers. are easily led by the more educated members of their race general government could easily mobilize in one city and within a few There is a perceptible growth in general restlessness among the colored people of this country.

There is only one thing in the way—the determined white people of the South. That will be enough. The negro who starts to develop into action the words of the president will do well to purchase a shroud with his announcement cards. The South is not going to stand for it a minute. There is one great barrier between the negro and his political ambitions in Texas and that is the KU KLUX KLAN. That organization, composed of the best blood in the South stands ready to assemble at a moment's notice to check and put down any uprising on the part of the negro. There is a negro editor in Houston who constitutes your message to mean social intermingling. Who is now preaching social intermingling of the races as a result of the miserable speech you made in Birmingham. He is inciting the negroes of this community into the belief that social intermingling is dawning and that colored incumbents of political offices will soon be in evidence in Texas. Mr. Harding you have wrought untold injury to the South and you have accomplished nothing. The Ku Klux Klan's membership is growing by leaps and bounds all over the South since the publication of your speech. The words "white supremacy" is spoken by a million determined lilies. The best blood of Texas, of the South, is moving into the Klan to be prepared for any emergency that may arise as the result of your ill-advised, untimely and appalling utterance. The boys of the cities, and of the country are streaming into the Klu Klu Klan tonight. They are going to be ready if your word precipitates anything in this country. The very fact of this preparedness may offset plans of ambitious darkies already on foot. Every man in the South, eligible should join the Klan. The president has practically driven you into it.

It is thus that Congress shall be into this situation and bound himself if there exists any and reason for this ignoring it. I am bound to the State administration. NEED OF POLICEWOMEN. The need to protect women to its preventive criminal work among the Negroes of the United States is now apparent with great speed for women in the war and children in the war. Drives from the police are infiltrated that creep into the streets. State supervision is the necessary place of amusement and present resorts, where women and children are admitted "with care to their safety and dignity, shall be protected carefully." There are a number of women of the race who are qualified to the physical and mentality, will work with the temperament and a capacity to tell the position of fellow women. They should be encouraged to apply to the commission and become qualified under the police service, rules for appointment to the position. The appointment of a competent number of the class of women would be in the nature of placing a moral insurance for the benefit of the community. The prevention of crime is more effective than awaiting its commission and then inflicting a punishment for the offense. If the attempt to lead minor and those of worker wills into interactions of the law can be prevented by the vigilance of fellow women, then it would be a good investment for the community to multiply the activities of this class of gentlemen of the peace. That this has been the result of the enforcement of fellow women generally is universally admitted. Hence the need them in Harlem. The majesty of the clered resident of Harlem are peaceful and brave, but there is a sufficient indulgence of a criminal class to demand that a watchful eye and a restraining hand be kept their civil ways. Then the contemptuous conditions gave brought about a sense of good and evil doors in such contact that demands the most urgent care in preventing evil commences from corrupting good manners. The appointment of a number of well trained and efficient policewomen is a necessary capacity for the Harlem dis- POLICE PRECINCT. There's a Day there was not a occupied at the 30th Pre- cinct located on West East corner of the square. Prison the first day of the year goes to show that this part of Harlem is not as black as it is painted. Lawlessness is not characteristic of the neighborhood comprised in this precinct, but is more of a sporadic nature, due to the influx of crime from outside sources. The majority of the Negro residents of Harlem are respectable and lawful. This does not prevent them from suffering from the effects of a criminal invasion, which has resulted in both robberies and murders. But the bulk of the may have nothing to do with these criminal operations, except that they have to share the slum incurred and not infrequently figure as the victims. The commander of the 38th precinct, Captain Metrorath, is to be commended on his willingness to cooperate with the lawabiding citizens of the district, in maintaining the peace of the community and suppressing the lawless element, that seek protection others. His efforts toward making the precinct a model one have not been without results, as shown by the record of New Year's Day. The fact that several officers of the race have been detailed to duty in the precinct has demonstrated their usefulness in dealing with crime conditions in this section. Prompt and effective measures for the impression of vice and the protection of the community will result in making this a good police precinct. A SUPERFICIAL PROSPERITY. Capital observers have been inclined to credit the statement that the West 15th Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association is prospering, from the fact that housing facilities are being utilized and the normal activities have been kept in motion. But it is impossible for an institution of this character to enjoy true prosperity when the fundamental conditions of its existence are infaired or suppressed. It is just as important this year as it was last year that the Y. M. C. A. should stand for moral improvement and maintain the highest moral standards. The facility of making any such protection is manifest, so long as the membership of the Central Board of Deputies maintain in office an executive who has lost the confidence of the community. No one can dispute that the present secretary has lost his usefulness as the head of the local work. It is reported on good authority that Dr. J. E. Moorland, some time ago in discussing this annual told Col. William Jay Schiefert that Mr. Taylor ought to resign. The reasons that actuated this statement are just as good now as they were then. Because of the bill that has ensued since this situation became acute, it is in the supposed for a moment that the people have petitioned or condoned the wrong done them by the retention of the present secretary to the detriment of the work of the association. These members of the board who have the goal of the organization at heart should take proper means to relieve the present situation. The longer it is allowed to continue the greater is the injury done to the work that it was created to perform. A MILLION FOR SCHOOLS. A MILLION FOR SCHOOLS. According to the construction statistics of the Rosewald Rural schools for the ten years ending, last December, the Negroes of the country districts of the South have raised over one million dollars to aid in the building of school houses for their children. This is in addition to paying the regular county and state taxes for educational purposes. The statistics as summarized are as follows: 1120 school buildings, utilizing the services of 2578 teachers, have been built at a cost of $1,653,905. Of this amount Negroes contributed $1,024,537; whites, $200,702; public funds, $1,700,688; and Julius Rosewald of Chicago, $667,980. Classified by types the buildings in- clude 338 one-teacher schools; 429 two- teacher schools; 170 three-teacher schools; 101 four-teacher schools; 35 five-teacher schools; 41 six-teacher schools; and 111 teachers' homes. By States the number of Rosenwald Rural Schools follows: Alabama, 235; Arkansas, 48; Georgia, 50; Kentucky, 52; Louisiana, 124; Maryland, 14; Mississippi, 119; North Carolina, 157; Oklahoma, 12; South Carolina, 70; Tennessee, 168; Texas, 42; and Vir- gina, 97. in 1912, on his fifteenth birthday, Julius Rosenwald contributed $25,000 to Tuskegee Institute, to be distributed among such schools of Tuskegee as Dr. Booker T. Washington should designate. Of this amount Dr. Washington asked permission to use $2,100 for an experiment in building in Alabama six rural schools for Negroes who had to raise in each community an amount-equal to or larger than the $300 assigned as Rosenwald aid. The measure of racial interest indicated by the popular support given this movement in rural communities is encouraging. The principle of self-help has taken root among the people of the country districts and despite the fact that their earnings may not be large, they are willing to help build more schools. THE NEW YORK AGE SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922. SOUTHERN ARGUMENT AGAINST THE DYER BILL. Last Wednesday in the House of Representatives, the Dyer Bill came up for debate. Southern Democrats again resorted to their tactics of filibuster. They failed to prevent the consideration of the Bill, and their failure was more marked because of the fact that the Bill was debated on Calendar Wednesday. In order for this to be done it was necessary to suspend the calendar by a two-thirds vote. The supporters of the Bill were able to do this and thereby gave an indication of the real strength which the Bill has behind it. Mr. Dyer led off for the passage of the Bill. He spoke about fifty minutes and made a splendid presentation of the facts which demand the passage of the measure. He secured consent to extend his remarks and was thereby able to place in the record a vast amount of data and statistics on lynching, together with a number of strong editorials from various newspapers in favor of the Bill. The opposition led off with a speech by Mr. Sumners of Texas. Mr. Sumners spoke about an hour and a half and shot what appeared to be the heaviest bolt which the Democrats have, and the bolt proved to be not such a heavy one at that. Mr. Dyer, by the emphasis which he put upon the authentic figures about lynching, robbed the Democrats of their stock argument regarding the cause of lynching. Mr. Dyer gave the figures to show that in the last thirty-five years there have been about 4,000 known cases of lynching and that out of that whole number there have been only 800 cases in which rape is alleged as the cause. These figures prevented Mr. Sumners from basing his argument, as he most likely would have done, on an appeal to passion. Deprived of his stock argument, Mr. Sumners floundered around in a sea of absurdities. The following is an example of the silly reasoning to which the statesman from Texas was reduced: Mr. Summers went on to say that when they lynch Negroes in the South they try to find out the individual man who was guilty and put him to death; that in the South they did not do as is done in the North, where dozens of innocent Negroes are killed in riots such as took place in Washington, Chicago and Omaha. He said that the proposed Bill would very likely bring about the same wholesale methods in the South. Mr. Summers went on to say: "That is the sort of thing we are afraid of. I believe we understand the situation are convincing to cut the cord that holds in leash the p in the South and bring to the South such traget St. Louis, in which almost as many people were in one not as are killed in the entire South by there then took place the following owners of Texas and Mr. Mondell, the Rep "That is the sort of thing we are afraid of. We people who believe we understand the situation are convinced that you men are mixing to cut the cord that holds in leash the passion of race conflict in the South and bring to the South such tragedies as that of East St. Louis, in which almost as many people were killed in that one city in one not as are killed in the entire South by mobs in two years." There then took place the following colloquy between Mr. Sumners of Texas and Mr. Mondell, the Republican floor leader: Mr. MONDELL. Will the gentleman yield? Mr. SUMNERS of Texas. Yes. Mr. MONDELL. Do I understand it to be the gentleman's position that in order to keep down Mr. SUMNERS of Texas. Just for a question. Mr. MONDELL (continuing). The passions of race prejudice it is necessary to give them an occasional outlet of burnings and lynchings. Mr. MONDELL. Do I understand it to be the gentleman's position that in order to keep down Mr. SUMNERS of Texas. Just for a question. Mr. MONDELL (continuing). The passions of race prejudice it is necessary to give them an occasional outlet of burnings and lynchings. Mr. SUMNERS of Texas. I do not. Mr. MONDELL. Then, I do not quite understand the gentleman's statement. Mr. SUMNERS of Texas. Sit down and I will make you understand it. It is a hard job, but I can do it. Here is what I mean. Listen to me. Look at me and let me talk to you. I mean this: I mean that nobody on this earth can protect the black man who is in danger of mob violence, except the people in the community at the very time of the danger. I mean that if the Federal Government interposes its power, assumes responsibility now born entirely by the people, so that the man on the ground will feel it is not his duty to protect, but that the Federal Government has stopped in and will take care of the situation, then you are likely to turn loose the passions of race conflict in that community. Let me tell you something. Suppose this other thing happens—and you can do it under this bill—suppose that a black man takes a little white child and drags her off into seduction where no voice can hear and no hand can help, and raps that child, and the father of that child and the brothers of the child come up on him and kill him, and the Federal Government takes them away in the face of public sentiment and places them in the Federal penitentiary, and then has a tax of $10,000 levied against the county for the benefit of the rapists family, a part of which sum might go to buy that family an automobile to ride by the home of the innocent victim, do you think, as a matter of common sense, with such a policy you could long prevent a condition in that country like those which developed in East St. Louis, Omaha, and Chicago? Could anything be more abusrd than the conclusion reached by Mr. Sumners—that there is any Negro anywhere in the South either so ignorant or so brutal that when he hears that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is a law he will decide upon having himself roasted alive in order that his surviving family may collect $10,000 and buy an automobile in which to ride around and make the white folks mad? We do not see how Mr. Sumners himself refrained from breaking out into a laugh after making such a statement. Mr. Sumners also dwelt at length upon the purpose of the Bill to give immunity to persons accused of crime. Such a willful contortion of the truth is incredible when anyone who merely glances through the Bill knows that its purpose is to secure trial by due processes of law to persons accused of crime. When Mr. Sumners arose to speak pages followed him down to the front with a stack of law books which, if piled one on top of the other, would have reached the height of four or five feet. These books were apparently brought in only to make an impression, because Mr. Sumners did not during the course of his whole speech put them to any other use. He did, however, couch upon what he and all the opponents of the Bill consider to be its weakness constitutionally, and it is the point upon which a good many Republicans in favor of the Bill are stumbling. Mr. Sumners declared that if the Federal Government has the power to legislate for the punishment of lynching it also has the power to legislate for the punishment of murder and other crimes committed in the states. We believe Mr. Sumners is right and that the thing for the supporters of the Bill to do is to meet him squarely on the grounds which he lays down. We believe that if the states prove themselves unable or unwilling to deal with, say, the crimes of murder, the Federal Government would have the power to stop in and legislate regarding the punishment for that crime. But the analogy between murder and lynching is not a true analogy. In both cases, people in other cases have State and it acts in place of due processes of law to move out death as a punishment to a person accused of crime. It is not only against the act of killing that the Federal Government seeks to exercise its power through the proposed law, but against the act of the mob in arrogating to itself the functions of the State and substituting its actions for the due processes of law guaranteed by the Constitution to every person accused of crime. In murder, the Murderer merely violates the law of the State. In lynching the mob arrogates to itself the powers of the State and the functions of government. The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is aimed against lynching not only as murder, but as anarchy—anarchy which the states have proven themselves powerless to cope with. We believe that the opposition of the Southern Democrats to the Anti-Lynching Bill will show itself weaker and weaker each time the Bill is debated. Their argument of rape as the cause for lynching has already been exploded and shown to be groundless, and we believe that the constitutional quibbles which they have raised, and will raise, will meet the same fate. The indications are that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill will pass the House at an early date by a large majority. SOUTHERN BLOOD AGAIN. We have received the following letter in comment upon "What Is Southern Blood," a recent article in this column: "Editor of The New York Age: "I read in your very, very great paper of December 17th a criticism of the South, under the caption, What Is Southern Blood? I do not mean to inform you or your contributor as to the literary productions of the South, but have you forgotten "Uncle Remus" by Joel Chandler Harris, of Atlanta; and "The Leopard's Spots" and "The One Woman" and "The Clanman" by a Rev. Mr. Dixon, D. D., of North Carolina? And mark you they have influenced the world too for his Satanic Majesty. "I have the pleasure to be yours in God's name. "J. E. PHILPOT." From his letterhead we learn that Mr. Philpot is the pastor of the Pine Street Baptist Church of Scranton, Pa. And, further, we judge from the letter-head that the Pine Street Baptist Church is a colored church. We are not able to decide whether Mr. Philpot's letter is to be taken in a literal or an ironical sense. When he mentions "Uncle Remus" we are led to believe that Mr. Philpot is in eagerness; when he mentions "The Leopard's Spots" and other effusions of the Rev. Dixon it is only natural for us to feel that he is fooling. On second thought we conclude that the mention of "Uncle Remus" compels a literal construction of the letter, for "Uncle Remus" is a literary production of the first order. It is a work which in all probability will remain an important and permanent piece of American literature. It appears evident that by including "Uncle Remus" in his list of literary productions of the South Mr. Philpot was not fooling, unless he is ignorant of the true value of the book and really does not class it with such pieces of third-rate melodramatic fiction as "The Leopard Spots," "The One Woman" and "The Clansman." But the mention of "Uncle Remus" only strengthens the criticism which we made regarding Southern culture in our article of several weeks ago. "Uncle Remus" is a great book and Joe Chandler Harris was a Southerner, but Joe Chandler Harris was not actually the author of "Uncle Remus." The stories in the book had been told for generations by the slaves on the plantations of the South, they constitute the only folk lore that America has produced; Joe Chandler Harris was merely the collector and editor of the stories. Of course, he is entitled to great credit for what he did, but not to the credit of authorship. And this brings to us anew the thought that what Joe Chandler did should have been done by some colored man. Just after the Civil War there were a number of colored men capable of doing the work, but most of them were bothering themselves about smaller jobs like going to Congress or something of that sort. If either one of the colored men capable of doing it had made the collection of The "Uncle Remus" stories he would have made his name immortal. No, we cannot take back what we said regarding Southern culture nor shall we withdraw the quotation from Mr. Mencken. Indeed, we repeat that in all that civilization and culture mean the Southern white man has less to boast of than any group of white men anywhere on the face of the earth. The greatest cultural hope in sight for the South is the Negro, and so far as the South is today making any claims to cultural achievement she is doing it through the Negro either directly or indirectly. There is no white composer in the South that can be ranked with two or three colored composers that could be named. There is no white artist in the South that could be ranked with two or three colored painters that could be named. In literature there is Cabell; but even so, it cannot be denied that the two greatest books to come out of the South since the Civil War were written by colored men: Up From Slavery, by Booker T. Washington, and The Souls of Black Folk, by W. E. B. DuBois. What there is in "Southern Blood" which makes its possessors so vociferously, so pugilistically, so murderously boastful about it remains to us a mystery. Why not remember the widow of the janitor, Chas. Johnson, 161 W. 140th st., who was brutally slain by William Caine for protecting his employer in the collections of rents? This widow is without means and is left with six children, the youngest just 3 years old. Subscriptions will be received by THE AGE for her benefit. THE AGE starts iist with $5. "that we are not, after all, an infertion people; but simply a people who have been set back, a people whose progress has been impeded." A TEXAS COLONEL'S RAVINGS Colonel Mayfield's Weekly is the name of an incendiary sheet published at Houston, Texas, with this legend under the title: "Just to Pep Up the Game; This Slow Life Is Killing Me." Those who can recall the style of the Okolona States and Braun's Iconoclast can conceive the nature of this new sheet, which seems to have reached number Seven of Vol. I. This number which was dated November 5, 1921, devoted nearly two columns to a semi-barbarous yawping over what was called "President Harding's Pitiful Bluder," meaning thereby his Birmingham speech. The spirit of lynch law and mob violence breathed through nearly every sentence of this pestilential diatribe. We extract a few terms, for example: President Harding has declared for absolute equality of the white and colored races in everything save social functions. It means that he favors the coom in Congress. It means that he favors the abolition of the Jim Crow laws. It means that he favors the joint usage of public hotels. It means that he favors Negroes in office and that a Negro governor of Texas would be acceptable to him. It means that many a shot gun in the South will be singing "Nearer, My God, to Thee," with the Negro on the near end of the song. Mr. Harding, the Negro problem is fast reaching a crisis in the South; your words will serve to hurry the throat-cutting. The Negroes of this country have been quietly organizing for several years. They have quietly banded into a miniature military machine. There is one great barrier between the Negro and his political ambitions in Texas and that is the Ku Klux Klan. Every man in the South, eligible, should join the Klan. The president has practically driven you into it. Hop to it, boys. This is enough to show the combination of malicious lies and inciting to riot and bloodshed that constitutes Colonel Mayfield's nightmare. The editor of 'an illiterate South Carolina sheet called the Caucasian, of similar character, that lambasted and lampooned President Wilson, in addition to inciting lynchlaw, was put in jail and his paper suppressed by the Federal authorities. This should furnish a sound precedent for dealing with Colonel Mayfield's Weekly. His nightmare is a positive affliction that requires stern measures for relief. A quiet sojourn within the walls of the Atlanta Federal prison should restore the afflicted editor to sanity. His ravings reveal a mind unhinged by evil brooding. The Cleveland Coll celebrated the closing of the old year by publishing a special "Who's, Who" edition, profusely illustrated by photographs of leading members of the race in Cleveland, who have achieved prominence in varied pursuits. Notable among those featured in this manner were Mme. Rachel Walker Turner, concert artist, and Charles Waddell Chestnut, lawyer and porcelist. The editor of the Supreme Circle News, published at Albany, Ga., gives the following testimony as to the-effectiveness of prohibition enforcement in that section of Georgia: The officers of the law are very active in running down the bootleggers and every other "leger" who has anything to do with "shine." They are getting rather uncomfortable in these parts. Whether the "uncomfortable" part of the situation relates to those interested in the manufacture and consumption of forbidden beverages, or to the active officers of the law, is not quite clear. This forcible suppression of "moonshine" distilleries must be a severe blow to an ancient Southern industry. PLEASURE IN THE AGE.

By V. P. THOMAS. RIVERS FREDERICK, M. D. Physician and Surgeon. Here is a surgeon of international training—graduate, of thech College of Physicians and Surgeons, Medical Department, University of Illinois, class of 1900, four years in charge of the government hospital in Spanish Honduras, chief surgeon in Bolivia's revolution, speaking French, Spanish and Latin fluently, familiar with Portuguese, Italian and Mexican languages, so no indest about his knowledge of languages that he never lets it appear that he knows any but the tongue in which one may be speaking to him. Indeed, Dr. Frederick is a man of very few words under any circumstances. He is native of Louisiana. Returning from Central America in 1963 where, by his skill, he rose to the position named above, Dr. Frederick Quinty took the examination required before to practice his profession and passed it of course, and was duly registered. He was no time in provoking his knowledge and skill in surgery and he is today recognized as one of the most successful surgeons in the city and one often called in consultation in surgery cases requiring advice on the part of the attending physician of his Among his fellows of the profession, Dr. Freedrick is regarded as very un- amusing, really conscientious, very pa- tient and painstaking, and unreserved in the help he may be able to give the constant and patient, and that he cares not for the success of his work than for the remuneration. He is local sur- geon for the Southern Pacific Railroad company. He is a member of the col- ped medical and pharmaceutical asso- sociation of this city as are most of the other physicians, surgeons, dentists and pharmacists here, and his success in his growth is a pride in which every member of the race in this city shares.

His study in surgical chemistry and several sent in compounding drugs and scriptions; his earnest ambition his knowledge of surgery at school, by reading up on literature on surgical practice side of the art, which he car- cry procuring for his study, in laws, enabled him to practice dine and surgery with more library light and confidence minus of the common run of he could feel that he had got him to get" of the science school and always hoped each day of study and practice taken his views and add new to the score of his under- standing of the art. As a result of this, years of practice on this line made him a great magnetist and a thought- ful writer of prescriptions, with a great deal more work often than he can do. He rankd second to none in his profes- sion in this field. He was a graduate of Straight Univer- sity of the best mathematicians of the college graduated as M. D., from Melville College, Nashville, in 1891; was married to one of them Deljoe Davies. Profession, who departed this life in five years ago, leaving three and two daughters his present wife Louisa on the Harrison girls of La Louisa, who was for a time a member of the faculty of New Orleans University of Chicago and who is now the master of a bouncing boy five months after the test of the syllock. He is the president of the Louisiana Industrial Life and Sick Benefit Insurance Company, one of the big concerns in kind financed and operated by such people of this state. RUBIE I. VINING. M. D. One of New Orleans fine specimens of the well fitted younger medical men, for ambition for successful service in the profession of medicine and surgery is R. J. Viming, who already had a good education when he decided to study medicine and surgery as his calling. Having very good health himself and for good appetite of a normal condition of body and mind through all of the days of school work he came out to practice his profession bristling with commendable ambition to do his part as a medical practitioner in 1907. fourteen years ago, with diploma from Flint Medical School, and a certificate from the Louisiana State Board of Health, believing that he had passed a satisfactory examination and was authorized to practice in the State. He has made good and is regarded as among the best of the profession in the city. He married one of the most intelligent young women of the city and has a brilliant young son about ten years old. L. Beaconsfield Landry is a son of the late Rev. Pierre Landry, who was in Republican days of the State, one of the planters and leaders in politics in Ascension Parish and the old Third Congregational District. Beaconsfield graduated from Fisk University receiving the degree of A. B. in 1902, and finished the M. D., course at McMurry College, in 1908, was one of the company of Fisk niggers who sang for Prince Henry of Pyrenees on his visit to this country twenty years ago. Began practicing his profession of medicine in 1908 and in all the time one of the best teachers in Southern Browns County. His legacy L. B. LANDRY. M. D. Mary McGann, a prominent school teacher of St. Mary's Parish and has office and residence in Algiers. . MARK GAINES, M. D. If the measure of practicing physician's ability and skill is determined by his popularity, Dr. Mark C. Gaines holds second place to no other physician of the race in New Orleans in burden of work at his office. Dr. Gaines was so overworked and worn out that he found it necessary to take three months of vacation, from the month of July to the month of October of the past year, which he spent resting in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington and other cities in the North. He is a graduate of Bennett Medical College, Chicago, class of 1913, and passing the examination for practice of medicine before the Louisiana State Board of Health, began his practice in this city in 1913. In the eight year's practice which he has had he has built up for himself a popularity as great as any other physician of the race here ever enjoyed. The beautiful furnished and modest commodious home which he has built for himself and wife at Milan and Willow streets gives an idea of the money he has made in seven years. One of the most active men of the race practicing medicine in this city is Dr. George W. Lucas, who was registered and began to practice his profession here in 1907. He is a leading member of a number of race organizations and gives much of his time to the affairs of these societies. He is head of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and a member of the National Medical Association and attends the meetings of both national bodies. He is physician for several race fraternities of this city and is often called out of the city for professional services and to attend to affairs of fraternities with which he is connected. He has many friends and he is one of the most agreeable men to meet. He has a fine home at Magnolia and Belmont place, where friends visiting New Orleans are often made hospitably welcome as house guests. Dr. Coker is a native of New Orleans who, as a youngster, was popular in the sixth district with the boys of his age on account of his intrepidity in getting fun out of the pranks and games that boys like to play, and who brought to his study a great deal of determination to achieve the purpose he had set to accomplish as a student of medicine. In 1910 he found himself prepared to take the examination before the Louisiana State Board of Health, took it and passed it, was registered and at once began practicing the profession. His work, especially in treating children, soon won him friends and later a place in the city's Child Welfare organization, which has called on him to read a paper on his experience in handling cases of children of his race. Dr. Coker feels it a distinction to be so honored by members of the medical fraternity, all of the other race, in the Child's Welfare Society, and is not one of those of his race who thinks that the black man with ability and skill is not given a chance in the South to do his best. Down town where he and his wife live the whites are just as friendly to him as the colored people and he is doing well. J. H. MURRAY, M. D. Dr. J. H. Murray is a graduate of Straight College, class of 1901, and a graduate of Flint Medical College class of physicians and surgeons of 1907. Practiced his profession for fourteen years in the Parish of St. Mary's, LA, with residence and office in the town of Patterson, coming to New Orleans in June of this year with his family and at once taking up a practice that has been a success from the start. He was given letters of strong endorsement by leading white people and physicians of St. Mary's Parish showing the kind regards they had for him as a physician and citizen. He has succeeded Dr. John H. Lowery of Donaldsonville, as president of the Louisiana Committee for Better Railroad accommodation for colored people in the State. He has bought a home in this city and has office in the Mullon and Mullon drug store. K. PALMER MULLON, PH. G. E. Palmer Mullon, Ph. G., class of 1916 of Howard Medical School, Washington, D. C., is a son of Dr. I. E. Mullon and managing owner of the Mullon & Mullon's Pharmacy, Franklin and Erato street, opened for business in their own building last June with a full line of drugs and articles carried in connection with the business. Since opening has increased the patronage of the business right along and made a success. Mr. Muller recently quietly married Miss Christelle Morris, a fine young lady of Biboxi, Miss. The couple live in the residential part of the building and are happy together. Mr. Muller has friends in New York, Boston, Washington, D. C., and other cities North and East, that will learn of his success in business and of his marriage to the charming young woman with admiration. G. W. LUCAS, M. D. R. I. COKER. M. D. I. H. MURRAY, M. D. THE NEW YORK AGE. SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922. Health and at once began drug store and prescription pharmacy in partnership with his father, brother and brother-in-law in this city, with himself as manager of the business. This was twenty-three years ago, when there was not much doing of pharmacy by colored people in New Orleans, but it was not long before the "Delio Drug Store" was known from one end of the city to the other and even in the country around, through Harry's successful managing of its business in every department. Most of the younger people practicing pharmacy in this city began their study of the practice of the profession under Mr. Dejoie and he is widely regarded here as dean of the profession. The success of Mr. Dejoie as a pharmacist has been an incentive to others to enter the profession as well as to inspire confidence in the public that others of the race could after proper preparation and training, be depended upon to know the business also. About a year ago or so the building and lot in which the Dejoie pharmacy had been carried on for years on Dryades street became their own by a cash purchase price of $7,000, the owners then finally agreeing to sell. This property was burned to the ground in the big fire which levelled to sales nearly every building in the block about two months ago. Harry's loss by this fire was more than $5,000, but he is in temporary quarters in a couple of blocks up the street doing business and is even negotiating to buy the lot adopting his old place on which to erect a bigger place than he had before the fire. Isn't his an undaunted and inspiring spirit? ENILE J. LABRANCHE, PH. G. Few men born and bred in New Orleans since the Civil War have built themselves up as well as Emile J. La Branche. He is a scient of the proud Creoles of Louisiana who led in the fight made against jim crow cars and jimcrowism in its every form in this State. Unlike some of the stock who are satisfied to rest upon the name and glory of their forbears, Emile, from a boy, looked forward to laurels, he would win for himself in life's battle and he has already won some. Graduating from the high school of Straight University in 1902, he decided that he would become a pharmacist, and to Meharry he went. In 1905 he received his diploma as a Ph. G. from that school and coming back he looked about for a suitable spot in which to get to work for himself. After a while he got one on North Claiborne street, where he began to say the foundation of his success. He had a fine place there with a full supply of drugs, etc., usually handled in a pharmacy, but that place, as good a showing as it made, is not in the area with the one purchased and fixed up by him at the corner of Orleans street and Claiborne avenue. To buy and equip the new pharmacy as it is now, it cost Mr. La Branche in the neighborhood of $30,000, money saved out of the proceeds and expenses of carrying on the business. His business and standing in the city only show what a young man of determination and business ability can do for himself. He married and is the father of a happy family. WILLIAM A. WILLIS. D. D. S. Dr. Willis is the brother of Dr. Joseph Willis, who died here mourned by thousands of friends in New Orleans three years or so ago. Like his brother, Dr. present dentist enjoys much popularity and a great deal of it is due to the workmanship of his dental office. Thoroughness is a term he ardently believes in and erics always to live up to in his work. Dr. Willie Willis graduated in dental surgery at Meharyan in 1910 and went to Galveston, Texas, the same year and opened an office there. The death of his brother brought him back to New Orleans, his native city, in 1918, where he has been since. He is a thorough race man with the right spirit toward others in all his dealings with them. He likes to see men of the race stand up for their share of the benefits of government and go forward and demand this share when it would be denied them. He is married to the widow of George Geddes, who is a partner in the well-known Geddes and Moss firm of undertakers, embalmers and funeral directors, whose name spells efficiency all over the State. Mrs. Willis is one of the best known business women in the city. Dr. Willis is planning to enlarge his dental offices in the near future, but as he likes to do things better than to talk about him he is not saying much about the plans. His profession keeps him busy, but work does him no harm and he is the very picture of health. HENRY E. BRADEN, SR. Hotel Man. When it comes to successful business enterprises Henry E. Braden's is to be considered among the best that New Orleans can boast of among its colored citizens Ample proof of this assertion is clear in what Mr. Braden has to show of his enterprises in the Astoria Hotel and Restaurant, tonsorial parlor and billiard halls, with more than thirty employees, in the place that he paid $45,000 for about two years ago and would not consider an offer of $75,000 for as it stands today. It has taken clear thinking and sound judgment as well as a lot of get-up for the attainment of the success Mr. Braden has made of his enterprise, but the results show that he has not been wanting in any of these respects. Mr. Braden could always from the beginning see how he could make the hotel business pay in New Orleans, so unlike other cities for this business on account of the custom here of home people to eat at their homes and of taking visitors to the city to their homes as guests. The Astoria passes well every inspection in every department as regularly as the inspectors make their call. He keeps on the best terms with his help hot the help must not slack on their jobs. "New Day In Race Relations" Declares Dr. J. E. Shepard (Special to The New York Acr) Hampton, Va.—Two thousand colored men, women and children of the Lower Peninsular of Virginia celebrated the fifty-ninth anniversary of Emancipation Day by holding public exercises in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, under the auspices of the Elizabeth City County Emancipation Association, of which C. H. Henderson is president. Dr. J. E. Shepard, president National Training School, Durham, N. C., was orator of the day. Dr. James E. Gregg, in his address of welcome, declared that it was appropriate to link up the thought of freedom with the thought of education. "A school," he said, "is peculiarly appropriate place for the commemoration of the end of slavery and the beginning of full legal freedom—intellectual freedom, deliverance from the bondage of superstition and ignorance, moral freedom, deliverance from all the habits which ensham and ensolve a man and keep him from being his best and truest salt." "Hampton Institute belongs to the colored people. It is devoted to serving them and serving the young people of the Indian race." U. N. I. A. HEAD URGES SUPPORT FOR DYER BILL New Haven, Ct.-Arden A.

S. C. Armstrong, who founded Hampton Institute, to Dr. H. R. Fissell, his successor, and to the present principal. Dr. Shepard's mother was a product of Hampton Institute. He said: "The part that Hampton Institute has played in all phases of American life for the perpetuation, of the spirit of free institutions is continuing root of that fact that not a dollar which has been spent for or on the institution has been wasted, but that it will repay to the donors more than a thousandfold. The millions of dollars which have already been expended for its existence would not have been wasted, if it had turned out only Booker T. Washington, who put a new emphasis and therefore a new glory upon labor. It has also produced Dr. Robert R. Moton, a safe, conservative, strong friend and counsellor. *Negroes in the United States today have 600,000 homes, and 260,000 farms valued at $250,000,000; operate 74 banks, two fire insurance companies, and a number of industrial life insurance companies. Negroes have over 50,000 business establishments and have accumulated wealth to the amount of $1,200,000,000. They have 35,000 school teachers and over 2,000,000 children attending public schools. Seven hundred young colored men and women have graduated from our highest colleges and universities. Negroes have 43,000 churches and church property valued at more than 188,000,000. These figures show the possibilities of the race in America. New Day Is Dawning. "I am not here to say that the race had a fair show in the race of life; but there is growing up in the Southland a large group of people who are seeking to give to the race a larger share of the blessings of life and of the rights of life—the things to which they are entitled and which they will eventually come into, if they patiently wait work and acquire education and serve as their fathers did. Let us encourage this feeling of love, men and women, whatever the differences have been, whatever the prejudices or limitations or heartaches or injustices, teach men to love, and the love which you teach will come stay some back to you. Let us not encourage any feeling of recruitment or any feeling of suspicion, for there is growing up in the Southland and in the Northland and in the East and in the West a large group of Christian white men and women who know that the Negro has not had a chance and who are determined to give to the Negro race a chance to advance" Major Allen Washington, commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute, in introducing the speaker of the day, Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Training School at Durham, N. C., urged the colored people to purchase and support the local community center, so that their boys and girls may have a place for wholesome recreation. J. M. Pollard of the national headquarters of Community Service, Inc., made an appeal to the people to contribute to the fund for the purchase of the local Hampton community house.

The following lecture 'on stream etouette appeared in the *Dearer Sle* *Journal* Why do we advertise our business others on the street car? It is one of the most impolite practices we can in. We were on the car a few ago and a bunch of young women in the car giggling and laughing so top of their voices. When they came a sacacant seat all four made a rush the one seat and fell upon top of other. When they get settled in the seats one of them spied - man on board and made frantic efforts to gain his attention while the car was in motion, in the most ridiculous of the whole pade was the awful conversation indulged in the entire trip to town. There were several colored people of the car and they hung their braces, shame while ignorance and lack of culture had the floor. Stop casting attention on the whole race by your mischievous. If you could see yourselves as others see you, you would learn how to respect yourselves upon the street. Ignorance and lack of culture are confined to colored passengers in life convergences but these exhibit as double duty a greater attention with them as a racial characteristic in an individual failing. The result is the spread of more education and cultivation of better manners in school and in the home. Referring to the labor troubles Packington, the Oklahoma City Black Dapathi expressed opposition to the disposition of capital to rush the Nroo in a triple trailer as soon disagreements arise with white workers. It said: We want no more East St. Louis trouble here, (the direct result of our black men the strike breaker) and a wad to the Oklahoma City arsenal, we cannot get closer to the war in being on the scene as we are doing these brails between capitals and land. The eyes of the white laborers are slowly opening; he is beginning to see that he needs us. Let us help carry on the campaign of education in a peaceful way. Let's join them in peace and when they fight, let them fight alone. This is undoubtedly the counsel of prudence. It is only the stress of economic necessity or the offer of special inducements disguising the facts of the situation, that place the Negro in the role of a strike breaker.

Each class in school under direction of a teacher is waging a campaign to have every member make a contribution to the Student Friendship Fund for the relief of suffering among students and teachers in the war stricken countries of Europe. Principal Hunt attended the Y. M. C. A. Conference recently held at Cincinnati and since his return has urged every one to give to this fund. Those in charge of the campaign are striving to have every member of the school make a contribution. The senior class has already reported 100 per cent. Mrs. F. L. Hunt wife of the principal is still in New York City where she has made a number of addresses in the interest of the school. Her work along this line has been more successful though have been expected in the present financial condition of the country. whistle rounded, and early winged from his corner; they shoot in the corner of the ring.

They wield fighters both standing, on either side of the gulf, "Youth." Each step back and became an alert piece of machinery, charged with caution and cunning. FIRST ROUND—The "Old Year" struck out with his right and aimed a blow to the chin which the "New Year" blocked with his left, sending in a blow to the old man's chest with his right. SECOND ROUND—The opponent approached each other warily, waiting for an opening. The "New Year" drew first blood by tapping the "Old Year" on the nose. The "Old Year" retaliated with a glaning bite to the head which made the "New Year" see stars coming before their time. THIRD ROUND—Both were terminated in this round to finish the other. The "Old Year" cut loose with mighty punch that sent the "New Year" staggering to the rope. The youngster recovered quickly and the swift footwork eluded the battering fists of his older adversary. Taking advantage of an opening, the "New Year" hit the "Old Year" full on the point of the chin, lifting him out of the ring and over the ropes, where he had a huddled mass at the feet of the space tators. He lay there long after the referee, "Farther Time", had counted ten. The "New Year" was borne away on the shoulders of his admirers, or idol for the next three hundred and sixty-five days to come.

The sermon was preached by the Rev. Nora Finder-Taylor evangelist, of Chicago, Ill. Mrs. Taylor is well known. For a number of years she has rendered valuable assistance to Dr. Brown in conducting these revivals. Mrs. Taylor preached a very interesting sermon. She revival has started off under very promising circumstances. A cordial invitation is extended to the public. Thirty-three persons were received into the church during the day. At two o'clock the Sunday-school convened. This too was largely attended by the young people. There is great need of a larger number of adult members of the church to attend the Sunday-school. No greater opportunity is afforded to church members to acquire helpful bible knowledge than by regular Sunday-school attendance, where the Bible is both read and studied. At 3:30 p. m. Holy Communion was administered. The sermon preparatory to the Communion was preached by Rev. Alfred E. Piggott and 463 persons communed. The Varick C. E.
