Naming Colored Boy for Memphis Arouses Interest; House Passes Bonus Bill Providing Deferred Payments Naming Colored Boy For Annapolis Stirs Interest Although There Have Been 3 Colored Graduates From West Point Military Academy, None Has Ever Finished From Annapolis Late Col, Young Last Graduate—Two Line Officers Now Serving, Davis and Green, Were Elevated From Ranks of Enlisted Men The naming of Emile Treville Holley, 17-year-old freshman at the College of the City of New York, for appointment as midshipman at the United States Naval Academy by Congressman Martin C. Ansorge, Republican, of the 21st New York Congressional District, has aroused interest in all sections of the country, as according to available records, only two colored cadets have ever been at Annapolis, neither of whom remained to graduation. Essex Co. Republicans Make Formal Demand For Co. Jobs Henry E. Baker of Mississippi, now a驻 in the Patee Office at Washington was the first colored boy to enter the Naval Academy, about 1872. He joined the course. Some years later Laine F. Bundy of South Carolina now secretary to the Liberian驻 in Monrovia, West Coast of Africa was named. He was successful in training, but he also failed to return to civil graduation. Inside Holley's nomination was one inside by Congressman Anorese, an attorney concerning the matters in New York representative said that the district had distributed the appointments to his district, and that the services were entitled to a certain. The law permits the appointment of three alternatives to each principal, but there were not a sufficient number of applicants, so only seven alternatives have been named. This will double Mr. Anorese, in case young Holley fails in mental or physical examination, to either name one of the alternatives or make a new nomination together. Examination en April 19th. The mental examination is to be held at the Custom House, New York City, under supervision of the United States Naval Service Commission. The tests are prepared at Annapolis and the papers are returned there for grading in the naval academy faculty. The examination covers a period of three days, subjects being geometry, algebra, arithmetic, English, geography and history. The candidate must make 2.5 points out of a possible four in each section. If successful, the candidate must undergo a rigorous physical examination at the hands of a board comp of naval doctors here in New York City.

Repub Formal Dema Board of Freeholders Aske Race Men and Women of Future Politica (Sponsor to The New York Age). Susan N. J.—Formal requests for petitions for colored men and women of Lovis County were made to the Board of Fireholders last Thursday by the county colored Republican organi- zation in a conference with their party members now in authority in the county board. John T. Cheshire, leader of the disbanded urged the Freetholders to consider the colored folks in making future amendments. The veteran Republican worker told the Freetholders he was not making any excuses, but he thought that he represented would appreciate being given to the colored people and them. "I'll be sixty-two, if he is until June," said the spokesman and the colored missionaries in the state. The days fouled me with the swearing that the devil would get in I loved the Democratic figure. So I don't know how to go any other way personally. But the young fellow—given them in June. Why, they say, in being right out of the tractor like Bettorfrach and Ryakalov, they're doing everything the white man does. The speaker told the Freetholders the colored people had raised the great question which help the unity of the settlers and he and the colored people appointed appointment to the offices, however, are reported as saying that under the law there is no choice but to recognize the Holley appointment, give him fair examinations, and permit him to enter the Academy if he passes. Must Use Lot of Tack. As to the probable reception that will be accorded Holley, in cases he is successful in passing his examinations and entering Amphonia, an interesting statement is accepted to Commander Charles A. Adelson, S. N., servant who was charged of recording in the late afternoon of the World War. "Deciding that timer have changed since the reconstruction days following the Civil War, Commander Adams said: "It would be easier for a Negro midshipman now than it was then. At that time a lot of Southerners had been reappointed and they resented the Negroes. I think, as a personal opinion, that this boy may get along all right, but he will have to use a lot of tact. "We have no precedent to go upon, however, since times are so different since the last Negroes were appointed. This is a thing that will have to work itself out. It will be watched with interest." As a student at Townsend Harris High School, Holley made a splendid athletic showing. He was a member of both the baseball and track teams. As a freshman at City College, he is a member of the Students' Army Training Corps. The Holley family came to New York from Aiken, S. C. when Emile, now 17, was only a year and a half old. His mother, formerly Miss Marie Turner, was a teacher, after finishing at an Atlanta institution of higher learning, and was on the faculty of Swift Memorial Institute in Tennessee.

Miss Edith Williams, an intelligent and prepossessing 17-year-old girl, is a second year student at Textile High School, 124 West 30th street, and in connection with the regular academic course she is taking the costume designing course. She has been in Textile High only since September 12, 1921, having previously attended the Junior High (P. S. 90) at 228 West 148th street, between 7th and 8th avenues. She lives with her parents, Mr. an. dMrs. Clafence Williams, formerly of Jacksonville, Fla., at 153 West 142nd street.

Judge Koenig was named last year to the same judicial position, but failed of election in November because Tammany refused to endorse him. The recently adjourned Assembly passed a bill increasing the number of General Session judges from seven to nine, and as soon as Governor Miller had signed the bill, he made the appointment. Before doing so, however, an agreement was reached with Tammany whereby he would name Democrat also, both judges to be endorsed for election next Fall by the two parties. Robert L. Johnstone, chief of the Appellate Bureau of the New York Co. District Attorney's office, was the Democrat named. Judge Koenig is a brother to Samuel Koenig, chairman of the New York County Republican Committee, and with much publicity through being assigned, after retiring from the bench on January 1st, as leading counsel for Luther "Curly" Babb, convicted recently of the killing of two spring detective sergeants of the police force of New York City.

The funeral service was held Sunday, March 15, 1905, from 9:00 a.m. at Church, Mill Hill, New York. But the design of a young girl's dress, extended by knit and stitched by her in white and green, proved to be the best of dirty designs selected from among several thousand which had been submitted by entrants from all sections of the country for the exhibition of Good taste in Dress for Young Girls held in March 23, 25 at the Art Centre Southampton, 67 Kest Street, which houses the exhibition. Notice of the exhibition had been given art school students in other sections of the country some two or three months ahead of time, but the students at Textile High were only notified of the opportunity one day ahead of time. As a result, the entry of designs from the girls of that school were received too late to have the names of those selected for the competition placed on the official program. But— One, of the designs submitted by Edith was among the fifty finally selected and the pattern had to be drafted and cut, the cloth selected and made into the dress, and a model chosen to pose in the garment before the judges.

The contractors will begin work Monday, April 3rd. The buildings will be constructed of local stone and trimmed with cart stone. The main auditorium with its horizonal gallery will have a seating capacity of about 2,000. The expansions in the Community House will be 70 by 30 feet. In this building there will also be public reading room, ladder rest room, rooms for teaching domestic science, a model apartment, and roof garden. The estimated cost of the building is $300,000. $107,500 of this amount was resolved from the side of the 40th street buildings. The church gave last year around the building fund about $80,000, and the annuity fund plowed during the next three months $22,000.

Monckshire, N. J.—The Eric System was tied up for a short time; so far as onboard traffic was concerned, when Dr. Hayes J. Burnett of 31 Montague Glaze, driving his car, found himself on the restroom tracks at the Grove street, grade crossing, with his auto scaffold, and was unable to move it either forward or backward. Approaching trains were tagged in time to avoid colllisions, but no until help was procured and Dr. Burnett's car burst from the track were the trains, able to resume their schedules. The unfortunate part of the occurrence was the man and explorator attempt on part of angry and disgruntled officials, who charged Dr. Burnett, who is a prominent physician here, with being under the influence of some intoxicant and driving a car while in that condition. As a result of this attitude, following an examination before Judge Triangle in the Montclair Recorder's Court, he was held in $100 bonds for future hearing.

CLARK'S MOTHER KILLED IN ACCIDENT Richmond, Va.—Following upon the collision of, an auto, in which she was riding, with a street car at Monument avenue and Robinson street, Mrs. Stephen Clark, 65, of California, mother of Dr. W. J. Clark, president of Virginia Union University, died at the Stuart Circle Hospital early on March 12th. Mrs. W. J. Clark and her four-year old son, Melburne, who were also in the auto, were slightly injured. Dr. Clark's car, containing his mother, wife and son, was proceeding along Monument avenue when it was struck by a trolley car northbound on Robinson street. The motorman of the car was arrested on a technical charge of reckless driving, which was changed after Mrs. Clark died, to involuntary manslaughter.

Marion, a real estate operator of 2131 Fifth avenue, will have to return $1600 to colored families who paid him this amount in deposits on both of which he alleged cut him he was the owner, and on which he had promised to build homes for families as a small need. When Marion failed to build the homes as he had promised, a number of people through their attorney, Wm. Macmillan, brought action in the Seventh District Court for the return of their money. Those who need for their money were Christopher Phillip, 210 Broadway avenue; William Lowell, 200 When 1404 street; William Lowell, 31 West 120th street; Joseph Mays, 2148 2100 avenue; Cecilian Shiner, 2100 2100 avenue; and Stephen Welshner, 120 West 130th street. The amounts paid ranged from $80 to $100. Justice Phillip continued verdicts in favor of all the plaintiffs, and gave Jacobson five days in which to pay the money, so he gave contractors on account of his failure to make an offer to the plaintiffs and the plaintiffs agreed to pay the money. Soldier Jesus Bill Is Passed by Lower House Compromise Measure Providing Adjust Service Credits Maturing In From Five to Twenty-Five Years, With Borrowing Value Bitter Partisanship Was In Evidence in House of Representatives, Chairman Fordney Charging Democrats With Neglect of Troops Washington, D.C. By a vote of 333 to 70, the House of Representatives passed the compromise bonus bill, for the benefit of soldiers of the recent World War, and the Bill is now before the Senate for action. Action was taken on Wednesday, March 22nd, following four hours debate, under application of the "gag rule," which automatically limited discussion and which forced a vote according to prearranged plans of the Rules Committee, Congressman Campbell, chairman. Voting for the Bill were 242 Republicans, 90 Democrats and one Socialist (Meyer London of New York). The opposition consisted of 42 Republicans and 28 Democrats. The four hours provided for debate was, by mutual agreement, divided among Chairman Fordney, Representative Treadway, of Massachusetts, and Representative Green, of Iowa, both Republican members of the committee, and Representative Lester, Democrat, because of the help number of Democratic members four hours when allowed by those controlling the time, permitted most members only three and five minute speeches. Fordney Explains Proposal. Mr. Ferdynand was the first recognized under the general debate. He explained at length and in detail all the kill's provisions. The House seldom has witnessed a demonstration equal to the one that greeted Chairman Campbell's characterization of the Democratic minority report as "demagogic claptrap." Members on the Republican side applauded wildly for fully two minutes, and then rose to lend emphasis to their conmunication of the report signed by live Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee. "Why did not you pay some of the $40,000,000,000 that you took from the American people to the soldiers when you had the chance?" Why did you not give some of the $19,000,000,000 that you raised after the war? The troops cannot be fooled by your demagogy and claptrap, even though it runs riot. During a period of four years you took from the American people $40,000,000,000 more money than you had to run the expenses of the public from the day of the adoption of the Constitution up to 1912. You were in full charge of the war. You permitted soldiers to freeze and die in harracks and in hospitals." There were cries of "No, not!" from Must Pay ,600 to Clients with Ave., Received Sums With Which to Build to Keep Promises parties interested in the case so desir- ed. In speaking of the case George Phillips, one of the plaintiffs said: "Marien had planned to build a home for me, and I paid him some money. He told of the elaborateness of Geez houses and how it would be cheaper for us to live in them than to pay rent. He even took us to the place and showed us some houses, claiming to have built them, and ours, when to be on that order. He never did anything for us, and we consulted counsel, who searched and found that he did not own have title to the land which he showed us." Although Commissioner Schenanl must, when the case came up about two weeks ago, that he was going to make a complaint to the District Attorney's office, and gave that his investigation be completed, and gave that his motion had been satisfied after himself agreed to resign the office and returned. In a statement to The Art. Haines, through his attorney, Charles Nardon, (22) Went, Irish power, expressed hope and hope no longer of being. He stated that he was pleased with the progress in the investigation and that he was satisfied with the outcome. the Democratic side. But Mr. Campbell continued: "You did. You permitted them to go into battle without the support of planes and artillery. You permitted them to walk knee deep in the water waiting for bodies to be pulled home. You permitted them to troyear to as to what should be written you have printed as your minutes understand-the report you sent that Mr. Garner refused to hear. When you were raising money by the billions by taxation and by the sale of bonds you were giving it to the contractors to whom you now refer as having made millions and billions out of the war. They were your contractors. You made the contracts with them and adjusted the payment of their contracts after the war was over." Representative Mann, of Illinois, opposed the bill with the statement that what the veterans wanted much more than money was a job. "The bonus bill" he said, "is giving them a certificate instead of a job—a chance to go in debt instead of an opportunity to work and save." Mr. Mann denounced the loan reclamation feature of the bill as an option affording untold chances of extravagance and waste. Mills Also Denounce Bill Probably the most impassioned denunciation of the bill came from Representative Ogden Mills, of New York City, who said it should be called a bill to increase taxation." He said, "The bill violates the very fundamental tals of sound government finance, making no provision whatsoever for meeting these obligations, whether in the form of sinking fund, amo, or other reserves against the liability that will be thrown on the government in 1925, the liability on the certificates at the end of twenty years, or to use the payments which will accrue from year to year on account of the deaths of the veterans, the sixteen millions adjusted service pay claims, vocational training, home aid and land settlement, or the great administrative expenses connected with administration of the act. If there be an obligation, who don't raise the money and discharge it? No government in good credit titles its obligations by issuing promissory notes, and no wise government impromptu promissory notes without making provision for their payment. Last year we established a budget system and have tightly claimed credit for doing so. It is difficult to own, estimate its value to the country, or be over-emphasize the importance of the accomplishments up to date; but the very life of the budget system depends on the recognition that expenditures which no provision is made in the budget must be accompanied by revenue measures adequate to meet them. Otherwise the budget system becomes a failure and the alleged financing of the budget but a means of misleading the taxpayer. Viewed in this light, the present constitutes a direct attack on the budget system, and as such must be condemned. Foreight Hold Recruitment. necessary, it is evident that whether the Treasury be first obtained from the Treasury, borrowing, or borrowing other means may be desirable to postpone the settlement, ultimately these charges must be not out of question. Let there be no illusion them, on the floor of this House or among the people of the country. If this bill imposes law all hope of early relief against existing tax burdens disappears, we may have no reason to cannot reduce them. This is the more disappointing because this administration and this Congress have made such splendid progress with the problem of drastic economy and reduc- the situation that, in spite of our heavy fixed charges it was not 'too much to anticipate a $3,000,900,000 budget in the near future, and when annual expenditures reach a maximum of $3,000,900,000, the remaining war taxes can be high income tax rates can be reduced if satisfied that we can work out a war tax that will not constitute too great a burden us to bear. You are going to vote that hope away to day. You are going to wipe out all that the President and you yourself have accomplished in the past year, and you are going to serve duties on the merchants, the manufactures, the farmers and the workers that if a business revival is to come it must come without the help of this Congress, which, by passing this measure, irreversibly commits the government to a policy of increased expenditures and continued war taxes. I hope I have overdrawn the picture and exaggerated the consequences, but surely the dangers are sufficiently potent to warrant prudent men accepting the President's advice and postponing action." TEXT OF BONUS BILL. Washington, D. C.-The bonus bill passed by the House and sent to the Senate, would permit veterans to elect one of the following plans of compaction: 1. Adjusted service pay where the amount of credit is $50 or less. 2. Adjusted service certificate with a base value equal to the sum of the adjusted service credit increased by 25 per cent, plus interest thereon at the rate of 4½ per cent, compounded annually, for twenty years, such value being equal to about 3.015 times the adjusted service credit of the veteran. 3. Vocational training aid equal in value to not more than 140 per cent of an adjusted service credit. 4. Farm or home aid for the veteran who desires to purchase a home or farm land not within the limits of the land projects provided under the land settlement option. For such purposes there may be paid to a veteran in one payment or in installments an amount equal to the adjustable service credit, increased by 25 per cent. 5. Land settlement aid. Under this title the provision is made for homes for veterans upon land reclaimed by arrestation, drainage or other means. Only the amount of adjusted service credit is deducted from the purchase price of the land selected. All plans for the administration, of this feature is vested national veterans settlement board headquarter the Secretary of the Interior. The borrowing privileges under adjusted service certificate plan, which constitute one of the most important features of the bill, are described in the majority report in these words. "Until September 30th, 1925, a veteran may borrow from any national bank, or state bank, or trust company, a loan not to exceed 50 per cent of the loan basis of the certificate, such loan to be secured by the adjusted service certificate of the veteran on his promissory note. The bank may charge interest upon the loan, which shall mature on or before September 30th, 1925, at a rate not to exceed by more than 2 per cent per annum the rate charged at the date of the loan for the discount of ninety-day commercial paper by the Federal Reserve bank for the district in which the bank is located. "If the veteran fails to pay the principal and interest of the loan within six months after its maturity, the bank shall present the certificate and note to the Secretary of the Treasury not earlier than May 30th or later than October 15th, 1925, and the Secretary is authorized to cancel the note and certificate and pay the bank the amount of unpaid principal and interest accrued at the rate fixed in the note. The difference between 80 per cent of the loan of the certificate at the time it is received by the Secretary and the amount paid to the bank shall be paid to the veteran. If the veteran is deprived the amount is to be paid to his beneficiary or his estate. In the event of the death of the pensioner before the maturity of the loan, the amount of the unpaid principal and the unpaid interest secured to the date of the death shall be immediately due payable. In such case or in the event of the veteran dies within six months, the loan matures, the certificate and note shall be presented to the Secretary by the bank and the Secretary cancel the note and pay the bank's claim. The secretary shall then deduct the amount of the claim from the face amount of the certificate and pay the remainder to the veteran's beneficiary or spouse. when any loan becomes in default the secretary will notify the Secretary of the property within thirty days, stating the facts in the case. The Secretary of the Treasury cannot pay any amount presented by a bank unless the debt is accompanied by an affidavit made by the officer of the bank, stating that the debt has not charged or attempted contact any fee or compensation in order to make the loan. A penalty may be recovered in a civil suit by the veteran, is provided by the bank or any of its officers at charge or collect fees.

Applications of these are to be made through the secretary of the first second and third offices. 1938 and became the president of the American Mining Association. Terms of Agreement Loan Agreement Made Public HOUSE DEFERS ACTION ON LIBERIAN LOAN. Washington, D. C. March 29. Because of a mysterious and suddenly developed opposition, the House Ways and Means Committee failed to carry out its intention of making a favorable report on Tuesday of this week on the proposed $5,000,000 Liberian Loan. Action was deferred two weeks, with no indication as to what the decision would be at that time. Favorable action is urged by the State Department in line with the agreement signed by Secretary of State Hughes and the Liberian Presidential Commission. Details of the proposed arrangement were disclosed in a communication from President Harding to Congress, declaring that this government is morally bound to assist Liberia to refund its debt, and that the proposed loan is the only method open to bring about this end. In case the United States refuses the loan, it is declared other nations would willingly grant it, in which case there could be no guaranty for American interests in Liberia. (Special to The New York Age). Washington, D. C.-According to announcement made Tuesday, March 28 the House, Ways and Means Committee asked on Wednesday for a government credit to Liberia of $5,000,000, in accordance with plans formulated under the Wilson Administration, and in connection with which President C. D. B. King of Liberia and a group of Liberian officials, composing a Liberian Plenary Commission, recently visited the United States. The request of the Ways and Means Committee includes sanction for a financial plan and depository agreement between the two governments, which would place the African republic directly under the control of the United States. The draft of the proposal was described by a member of the committee, who will open a vigorous fight against it as "establishing an extremely vicious precedent," endangering the future rec date of the making of the loan at the rate of 4½ per cent, per annum, compounded annually. The veteran may borrow not to exceed 70 per cent of the amount of this new basis after October 1, 1928. The veteran shall repay the loan upon an amortization plan by a fixed number of annual installments sufficient to cover the interest and the unpaid principal at the rate of 4½ per cent, per annum, and such amount of the principal as will extinguish the debt within an agreed period not exceeding the life of the certificate. "If the veteran fails to make payment when due and if such default continues for a year, the Secretary of the Treasury shall declare the certificate of the veteran to be forfeited and cancel and surrender the note to the veteran." Should the note be forfeited by mistake, however, the Secretary of the Treasury may reminisce the note upon payment of the amount then due the government on the loan and a new note will be issued for the remaining amount due. "If a veteran's certificate is forfeited by default when he has borrowed an amount less than the maximum authorized, the Secretary of the Treasury shall pay to the veteran 80 per cent of the difference between what he has borrowed and the maximum which he was authorized to borrow. No certificate issued under the provisions of this title shall be negotiable or assignable or serve security in a manner provided. Should the veteran die after anking application for the adjusted service certificate and before October 1st, 1922, the amount of the adjusted service credit of the veteran shall be paid to his estate. NAMING COLORED BOY FOR ANNAPOLIS STIRS INTEREST (continued from first page.) of, the best home environment. It is admitted, that life at Annapolis will be very difficult for a Negro midshipman, but those who have had contact with Holley are confident that he will be able to cope with the situations as they arise. Many False Statements The nomination of a Negro for entrance to the naval academy at Annapoils have given rise to some peculiar comments and many untrue and false statements have been made as to colored officers in the United States army and navy, particularly as to those who have attended one of the two national training schools. One particularly misleading statement was made in a news article published in the *Tribune* of March 25th, which stated that the three Negroes who have graduated from West Point were the late Col. Young, Green and Lynen. As a matter of fact, the West Point graduates were the late Lieutenant Alexander, who was the first; Lieutenant Henry O. Flipper, brother to Bishop J. S. Flipper of Georgia; and now holding a responsible position in Washington; and the late Col. Charles Young, the only West Pointer to stay in the army long enough to advance beyond a lieutenant. The Negro line officers in the army now are Lieut.-Col. Benjamin O. Davis and J. E. Green. Both were enlisted men in the ranks of the army, and, after examination, were elevated to commissioned rank by the late President William McKinley, in the period immediately following the close of the Spanish-American War, 1889-99. Colored chaplains, ranking as captains and majors, are with the four Negro regiments in the regular army, but they are staff officers. Green was one of the men referred to in the Tribune's news story, and the other was former Congressman John R. Lynch of Ohio, who was designated from civil life by President McKinley as an army paymaster during the Spanish-American War, with the rank of lieutenant. Richard R. Wright Jr. was former president of the American Legion and the Honorary President of the American Legion. Formation of the Monroe Doctrine. the agreement was signed by the Secretary of State and the Liberian Primary Commission on October 28th, 1921. It would become effective after Congress has passed a joint resolution prepared by the Treasury Department carrying the necessary authorizations. Direction of virtually all the more important affairs of government of Liberia would be placed under the agreement in an American financial Commission headed by a commissioner with a salary of $15,000 to be designated by the President. Approached United States for Loan "This commission of two men would have all the power to put Liberia on its feet and settle all its obligations without appeal," it was declared. "The excuse for all this is said to be our moral obligation so the little republic, with neither army nor navy, because it declared war against Germany on August 4th, 1917." The preamble of the joint resolution being considered by the Ways and Means Committee states the reason as: "In consequence of the war the economic situation of Liberia has been imperiled, and its government has made urgent representations to the United States for financial aid and has sent its plenipotentiary to the purpose of concluding a loan. "This government being actuated by feelings of traditional friendship" and "solicitious for its well being and continued independence and for the peaceful development and future advancement of the Negro race." Control during the life of the loan of all the assigned revenues and receipts of the Liberian Republic is vested under articles five, of the agreement in the financial commissioner. The section continues: "All the Liberian officials who may be appointed by the government of Liberia to serve in connection with the collection, application and administration of the assigned revenues and receipts shall serve under the financial commission. Any such official may be suspended for cause, without pay, by the financial commission, who may also temporarily fill vacancies." Patrol Guard Croated. To assure the collection of the revenues and receipts "and the enforcement of the laws, rules and regulations pertaining thereto, the government of Liberia, upon the request of the financial commission, shall make by law appropriate provisions for placing and maintaining at the disposal of the financial commission an adequate service, both on land and sea, and the expense of such revenue guarce, and patrol service shall be paid by the financial commission out of the assigned revenue and receipts. "That for the further security of the assigned revenues and receipts the government of Liberia shall maintain a revenue guarce for the maintenance of internal peace within the territories of Liberia. All salaries, wages- and other expenses of the frontier force shall be paid on behalf of the government of Liberia by the financial commission." The strength of this force could not be increased or reduced without the consent of the United States, and it also would be under the command of four American army officers, headed by a major and two captains, and it is further provided that "the Secretary of State of the United States may, if deemed advisable by the financial commission, suggest a definite scheme for reorganization of the frontier force, to be prepared by the War Department of the United States." To Control Legislation Another part of the agreement provides that the government of Liberia shall not during the life of the loan enact any legislation which may prejudicially affect the finances, revenues or resources of Liberia, and the government of Liberia shall consult the financial commission with regard to all proposed legislation, before its enactment, which may in any way affect such finances, revenues or resources. Settlement of all claims not specifically provided for in the agreement would be made by a claims commission composed of the Secretary of the Treasury of Liberia, the auditor of the American commission and the financial commissioner, whose decision would be final. The financial plan also established definite boundaries about the character of advances which shall be requested by the government of Liberia. The most important of these is in Paragraph 5 of Article I, which would permit an extension of $1,650,000 for the redemption of out standing bonds held by a number of New York bankers, including J. P. Morgan & Co., Kuhn Lepk & Co., and First National Bank of New York, the National City Bank of New York, and the Bank of New York. Negro History Assn. to Hold Spring Conference in N. Y. C.

Federal Farm Loan Act: How It Will Help the Farmer Review of Provisions of Act by Congress Providing Funds for Farmers and Farm Laborers to Buy Land or Pay off Mortgages (By CHARLES E. HALL). On June 28, 1916, Congress passed a Bill known as the Federal Farm Loan Act. Its purpose is to lower the interest on first mortgage farm loans, to provide long term loans with the privilege of repayment in installments through a long or short period of years, at the option of the borrower, and to make it easier for the purchaser of land by those who wish to farm. All actual farmers prospective farmers, tenants or farm laborers who desire to kill off short term mortgages against their property, who are about to purchase land for their use, who wish to make permanent improvements, or purchase livestock, fertilizer or machinery, may apply for membership in a local National Farm Loan Association, and may become members when their applications for loans have been favorably acted upon by the directors of the Association. The final appraisal of the value of the property offered determines the amount of money that can be loaned, up to 50 percent of the value of the loan, plus 20 per cent of the appraised value of the permanent insured improvements. The Federal Farm Loan Board appoints the appraiser upon the recommendation of the Federal Land Bank of the district. Are Local Corporations. National Farm Loan Associations are local corporations, chartered by the Federal Farm Loan Board of the United States Treasury Department at Washington, D. C., and they can be organized by ANY ten, or more farmers whose application for loans reach a total of not less than $20,000. No farmer can borrow less than $100, or more than $10,000 on first mortgage, the maximum rate being six per cent per annum, payable, at the option of the borrower every six months or yearly. In addition to the six percent interest charge in another charge of one per cent. The total of SEVEN per cent applies to the paying off of both the interest and the principal; and can be arranged by the borrower to extend from five to thirty-three years. No loans are made for less than five years, but a person who borrows for a longer term of years has the privilege, after five years, of paying off the entire mortgage, or of reducing it by mak- College Woman's Fraternity.

Philadelphia, Pa. - Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, an organization among college women throughout the leading universities in the country, extending from coast to coast, has increased its strength by the establishment of four new chapters. THIN PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE PHOSPHATE Says nothing like plain Arge-Phosphate to put on firm, solid, stay there deaf and muscle and increase strength, firm wrist, and Physicians claim it is nothing that will increase weight, strength and endurance like organic phosphate commonly known by the druggist as argophosphate; it is inexpensive and is sold by all leading druggists everywhere under a guarantee to give satisfaction or money refunded. Weakness and thinness are usually due to starved nervous conditions. Our bodies need more phosphates than are contained in the foods we eat. They are rounded, figure, and plump well-developed, refined, and bust in place of hallows you should simply take pplain argo-phosphate as it builds up and restores run-down nervous conditions by phosphatizing the system. It transforms the appearance and an increase in weight is oftentimes quickly produced. The increase in weight also aids in improving the general health. Sleeplessness, nervousness, lack of energy and ambition quickly disappear Pale checks are changed to rosy ones ard dull eyes become bright. Miss Lena Grown of Atlanta, Ga., who only weighed 90 pounds reports that she gained 10 pounds in two weeks' time and says argo-phosphate has made a different person of her and she never felt better in her life. Special Notice—Owing to the fact that so many physicians and druggists are recommending argo-phosphate for relieving all nervous, worn out, debilitated conditions and the unusually large sale for argo-phosphate there will be found in the market numerous substitutes for the genuine article. All imitations for the pharmaceutical preparations and owing to its unusual taste, producing qualities it should not be used by any one unless they desire to put on flesh and increase in weight.

If allowed to run thirty-three years, the SEVEN per cent payments will fully cancel the principal and all interest charges. In other words, a payment of $70 per year on each $100 principal and the interest, and there are RENEWALS to be bothered with, burdensome COMMISSIONS to be paid for service. For Benefit of All Farmers If there is no National Farm Loan Association within easy reach, or if there is one in your neighborhood that does not care to admit the Negro farmers living in the locality to membership, it is your duty to report the FACTS in the case (not what you think) to the Federal Land Bank that has supervision of the district in which you live, OR TO THE FEDERAL LOAN BOARD, WASHINGTON, D. C. While the law specifically states that ANY ten or more farmers may organize a association, it is not the idea to have multiplication, associating same locality, or to have SEPERATE associations based on color, religious belief or, nationality. Congress enacted this legislation for the benefit of ALL farmers, rather than for a particular group of farmers, and no monopoly of territory will be allowed to any association. This is a splendid opportunity for our farmers throughout the entire country to consel their present mortgage indebtedness, to purchase additional land, to improve their farming equipment, to increase the number and to improve the grade of livestock, and to make permanent physical changes that tend to increase the productive value of their farms, such changes as are made by clearing, tilling, draining, fencing and building.

Ordinarily the private character of an individual is a matter between him and his conscience, unless his acts bring him in collision with the law or produce the active resentment of those affected by them. But when the individual aspires to or occupies a public office, his private life becomes an open book, so that he who runs may read, as well as he or she who votes. The private life of a public officer has such an important bearing upon its capacity to hold office, that the press seldom prioritizes to sled the bright light of publicity upon it. This view of the obligation of a newspaper to keep the shortcomings of an individual before his constituents until they realize his unfairness for public office is recommended to Editor Benjamin Jefferson Davis of the Atlanta Independent. Editor Davis interrupted his weekly excoriations of President Harding and National Commisseman Henry L. Lincoln Johnson enough to indicate that the following family, entitled "Fred Moore versus George Harris". Tire, Acr and The News are public institutions, and the public is entitled to the consideration at their hands. The public is not interested in the public personal spat between these citizens and the public thinks its interest and fortitude commands, by reason of its patience, some consideration. Whether Brother Harris accured his divorce legally or illegally does not trick the public conscience at this late day. The useful and helpful life Brother Harris has lived as evidenced by the impact of his neighbors who know he has always allows for errors of his youthful days, and Brother Moore is up for the sake of the publication journal. Until now you have seen that you both have been in touch with your own personal lives and with your own and your own friends. Since you have been able to decide how you want to be, you have another choice of you to make. Dark becomes a common place in the community where you can render the greatest public service. In looking at this issue as "a personal' spat" Editor Davis entirely ignores the interest that the public has in the character of its representative on the allermanic board. We grant that Mr. Harris' personal pecadillos would have no public interest if he did not occupy a public office, but so long as he does, the public has a right to be informed as to his suit to hold that office. As for the smokescreen of personal vituperation, behind which Mr. Harris seeks to hide his unfitness, there is always a legal remedy for libel. Editor Davis can now resume with renewed vigor his assaults on the President and the National Committeeman, with the serene consciousness of having preached what he would not practice. Despite his criticism of the President, Editor Davis seems to be converted to the policy of dividing the Negro vote, but recently declared his belief in a course as "to vote the Democratic ticket next November." What next? GLASSEMEN AND THE POLICE. The following communication which recently came into the possession of Sir Ack, was addressed several weeks ago to the commanding officer of one of the unpwn police precincts. It was memorised on a printed letterhead in printed black inks, with the words "The Commander" at the top, above all emblem decoration of the initial "C" with a burnt torch. It was signed by pen with the insigne "C. B. Williams" and the insigne title "Commanding Officer, Sir Lp. T. H. N." It read as follows: We wish to forward to you our of condolence in the loss of of your patrolman, Otto W. assached to the above precinct. death that he received at the of final colored bastard will be forgotten by us. Not far about his siver he black or white changes why we resized the other in respect to the other of the world of the world kind sense plush, you shall be enraged by "The Classman" in your daily life. If we have to till the impurities of the city, nothing under God or over God shall payrent our forces from acting on orders from this department, and under orders of "Justice." May God have infinite mercy on the souls of the three latest victims of human betrayery. When Sur the above scene was intended as an elaborate heax or the work of some humili striving to eliminate the record of the Ku Khux Khan is hard to determine. The absence of any street address or other means of identification shows that some sparks of sanity remained in the writer's mind. It might be well for such inciters to riot and murder to bear in mind that the police force of New York City is amply able to withstand mob law and preserve the peace. No such hypocritical protestations of condolence as the above would lead to the acceptance of aid from such a doubtful source as "the Clansmen". Any attempt "to fill the lampspots" would be put down by machine guns if needed. This impudent attempt to make the police appear as accessories to mob murder and riot carries evidence of its bad faith on its face. No such murderous, organization as the Ku Klux Klan, which discriminates against Catholics, Jews and Negroes, can stand the light in New York City. The spirit of Ku Kluxism is meeting with disfavor all over the country. Gov. Parker of Louisiana recently stated: "There is no place in Louisiana for Ku Kluxism, Bolshevism, radicalism or any other 'ism' that aims to destroy peace and order." The state officials of Colorado refused to grant it papers of incorporation, as failing to comply with state laws. The Virginian Pilot and Norfolk Landmark pronounced the Klan, "dedicated to emphasizing differences in color, race and creed, is dangerous as an ally of righteousness." Ku Kluxism is being recognized in its true guise as an enemy to law and order. DISTRICT LEADERSHIP. Under the party system of government, which prevails in nearly all civilized nations, some form of party organization is necessary. The greatest freedom of popular expression is attained when that system is built up from the election district unit, with its district captain in close touch with the individual voters of his district. But the greatest responsibility devolves upon the leader of the assembly district, who must unity and combine into harmonious cooperation the voters of his district and at the same time keep in close contact with the county and state leaders and the Congressmen and Senators. The strength of any political organization is largely determined by the energy and activity displayed by its district leaders. Much of the strength of the local Democratic organization in New York is due to the development of strong district leaders. New York City Republicans have not been as strong in this particular respect, as the needs of the party have demanded. While they have possessed striking individualities at times among their district leaders, as a rule they have not brought to the position, the energy and tact, strength and sympathetic interest that keeps the voters in line. When the Hon. John A. Lyons went to Albany to assume the duties of Secretary of State of New York, he was succeeded as leader of the 19th assembly district by David B. Costuma. The new leader was a young and successful business man and not a candidate for any office. His outspoken interest in the welfare of the voters of the district soon made itself manifest. Free from bias on account of race or color, his practical belief in affording opportunities for all was shown by securing positions for qualified applicants, not only in the lower grades but in higher grades of government service as well. His influence with the County Chairman and United States Senators was also exerted to further the best interests of his constituents. The Republican voters of this district are to be congratulated on having the right kind of district leader. The party at large would be fortunate to have more of this stripe. In the Afrito-American Presbyterian appeared a defence of the work of the parochial school against the reflections cast upon them in the report of Negro Education by Thomas Jesse James. Admitting that some criticisms as to lack of suitable buildings and adequate equipment were justified, Mrs. Boulson said: It is probable that the church has never done a more effective work than the establishing of their schools. We believe, however, that their work would be made more effective by a more uniform system of understanding as to the work required to be done in them. Each school is independent of the other. Each puts into its curriculum what it pleases, and leaves out what it pleases. There are always an many complexes in there are schools. So far as I know, there is no common standard for the church. It appears that they are accountable to no one for the things they teach or the things they do not teach. The managers of these schools have no one to please but themselves, and often more of them are not very hard to please. Hence the general criticism that the schools are going on in a disorganized way. The principle believes that this should be followed by an efficient, improving system.

Inative Ryan has taken up the matter andduce a bill in Congress requiring all social organizations to file lists of their members. Department and their respective postmails that a law of this kind will bring the Ku Klux Klan. Congressman Ryan's Bill is introduced into country should get behind it. There has occurred with the last few weeks what looks like a resurrection of the Ku Klux question. When the New York "World" made its expose of the Ku Klux Klan it appeared that that organization had been dealt a mortal blow from which it could not possibly recover. There have lately been evidences of activity here and there. These may be the last throes of a dying body or they may be evidences of real life. At any rate some disposition ought to be made of the investigation which was held by Congress some months ago. The Committee on Rules in the House has not yet made a report on the investigation and hearings. Only last week the Klan proposed a parade in the city of Washington, but Major Daniel Sullivan, Superintendent of Police, issued an order prohibiting any masked parades on the streets of Washington. The ordinance issued was as follows: Ordered that "Processions and parades, except funerals, shall not be allowed except by permit of the Major and Superintendent of Police, which permit shall designate the time and route of such procession or parade, and no part of such procession or parade shall move except according to the terms of such permit: provided, however, that no permit shall be issued for any procession or parade of any group, body or organization, the members of which are no costumed, dressed, masked or disguised as to be unrecognizable; provided, that this provision shall not apply to persons costumed as clowns taking part in authorized circus parades." Representative Ryan has taken up the matter and will this week introduce a bill in Congress requiring all social, fraternal and benevolent organizations to file lists of their members with the Post Office Department and their respective postmasters. Mr. Ryan feels that a law of this kind will bring the Ku Klux Klan to book. When Congressman Ryan's Bill is introduced, colored voters all over the country should get behind it. BERNARD SHAW ON THE IRISH. is to look as though all the proclamations some what premature. The British and the treaty which created the Irish Free State, though it would result in peace. Whatever the Irish Free State, peace itself is in a year. It begins to look as though all the proclamations about Irish peace were some what premature. The British and the Irish delegates signed a treaty which created the Irish Free State and which looked as though it would result in peace. Whatever may be the condition of the Irish Free State, peace itself is in a very precarious condition in Ireland. Ex-President De Valera is headin gan opposition to everything except an absolutely independent republic. There seems to be the danger even of civil war, or a more destructive struggle, between Irishmen and Irishmen than there ever has been between Irishmen and Englishmen. What the root of the trouble is does not yet seem to be clear—whether it is that the Irish delegates, ruthlessly betrayed their trust in signing the treaty with the British Cabinet or whether it is that there is now a disgruntled minority which is unwilling to abide by the judgment and wishes of the majority. Far away from either of these, is it that there is something in the nature of the Irish themselves that makes peace impossible? It is worth while to read the commentary on this point made by the keenest Irish intellect in the world today. I need not say that that intellect is in the head of Bernard Shaw. Mr. Shaw's latest play is entitled, "Back to Methuselah." In book form it has been widely read and has brought forth perhaps more discussion than any other of his works. "Back to Methuselah" is a play in five parts which begins in the Garden of Eden, B. C. 4,004, and runs through to "As Far as Thought Can Reach, A. D. 31,920." The third episode of the play is laid in the island of Ireland, in the year, A. D. 3,000. At that time there are no longer any Irishmen in Ireland or Englishmen in England, but one of the characters, known as "The Elderly Gentleman," has come from the British Empire, whose seat is now in Asia, to make a pilgrimage to the British Isles in Ireland. In Ireland he has a conversation with a character named "Zoo," and the following dialogue, which contains some of the most satire that Shaw ever wrote, which contains some of the most delicious satire that Shaw ever wrote, ensures: The Elderly Gentleman:—Do not quibble, madam. I bear their names, Bolge and Bluebin; and I hope I have inherited something of their majestic spirit. Well, they were born in these islands. I repeat, these islands were than incredible as it now seems, the centre of the British Empire. When that centre shifted to Baghdad, and the Englishman at last returned to the true cradle of his race in Mesopotamia, the western islands were cast off, as they had been before by the Roman Empire. But it was to the British race, and in these islands, that the greatest miracle in history occurred. Zoo:—Miracle? The Elderly Gentleman:—Yes; the first man to live three hundred years was an Englishman. The first, that is, since the contemporaries of Methuselah. The Elderly Gentleman:—Yes, that, as you call it so slippantly. Are you aware, madam, that at the immortal moment the English race had lost intellectual credit to such an extent that they habitually spoke of one another as fatheads? Yet England is now a sacred grove to which stuasmen from all over the earth come to consult English sages who speak with the experience of two and a half centuries of life. The land that once exported cotton shirts and hardwere now exports nothing but wisdom. You see before you, madam, a man utterly weary of the week-end riverside hotels of the Euphrates, the minstrels and pierrots on the sands of the Perisan Golf, the tehogans and furniculars of the Hindoo Koosh. Can you wonder that I turn, with a hungry heart, to the mystery and beauty of these haunted islands; stronged with spectres from a magic past, made holy by the footsteps of the wise men of the West? Consider this island on which we stand, the last foothold of man on this side of the Atlantic; this Ireland, described by the earliest bards as an unremold gem set in a silver seal! Can I, a action of the illustrious British race, ever forget that when the Empire transferred its seat to the East, and said to the turbulent Irish race which it had oppressed but never conquered, "At last we leave you to yourselves; and much good may it do you," the Irish as one man uttered the historic shout, "No; we'll be damned if you do," and endangered to the countries where there are still a Nationalist question, to India, Persia, and Corea, to Morocco, Tunis, and Tripoli. In these countries they were ever foremost in the struggle for national independence; and the world rang continually with the story of their sufferings and wrongs. And what poem can do justice to the end, when it came at last. Hardly two hundred years had elapsed when the claims of nationality were so universally conceded that there was no longer a single country on the face of the earth with a national grievance or a national movement. Think of the position of the Irish, who had lost all their political facilities by divorce except that of nationalist agitation, and who owed their position as the intervening race on earth solely to their sufferings! The very countries they had helped to see free boycotted, them as unpleasant horrors. The communities which had once idolized them as the emporium of all men in Ireland in the proud heart and white brains, had from them as foes a prejudice. There has been correction of the world' made its organization he not possibly here and the city here and the or they may not at any rate son in which was he on Rules in negotiation, and he only last week Washington, but Mr. and an order pro Washington.

This much is certain about Irish peace, and it coincides with what we said in these columns some weeks ago when the Irish Free State was first declared; that is, that if the Irish preferred more fighting to the home rule granted them the world would lose interest in their cause.

The writer was at one of the large moving picture theatres in New York during the week of St. Patrick's Day. He noticed that neither pictures of the St. Patrick's parade in New York nor pictures from Ireland showing rejoicing over the establishment of the Irish Free State awoke any enthusiasm whatever on the part of the audience. It seems there is a danger that all that the Irish gained by fighting, the British they may lose by fighting each other, and more. This quotation from "Back to Methuselah" sheds a sidelight on another question. It brings up a thought that deserves some consideration. Mr. Shaw published his play when the struggle for Irish liberty was at its height. Mr. Shaw is an Irishman; he is not only an Irishman but an Irish patriot. His pen has done great service for the cause of Ireland. He has increased respect for Irishmen the world over. One of his methods for doing this has been to point out many of the qualities in which the Irish are superior to the English. And yet he did not hesitate to level this shaft of satirical truth at his compatriots. He did not hesitate to hold the mirror of life up to them and show them the source of their greatest weakness and to hold that weakness up to laughter. We wonder if a Negro writer could dare to do a similar thing and, if he did, if he would escape without a great penalty. And yet this is exactly the thing which Negro writers ought to do, both to their own advantage and the advantage of the race. Not only should the characteristics of strength in the race be emphasized and held up before us, but our weakness should also be held up to the light in order that we may grow stronger in the former and learn to free ourselves of the latter. ARGUMENT FOR THE BONUS In the interest of the people at large and the general welfare of the community, True Act has appealed the argument to grant a general benefit to every man or woman who was collested in the World War, either as constitant or in other work connected with that struggle. The arguments against such a proposition seemed to outweigh the doubtful benefits that might accrue to a few, while the burdens of such a raid on the Treasury would injure the prosperity of the mange. At the same time it is only fair to consider the other side of the question, especially when it is presented so sane and temperately as it is given in a letter received by the editor of this paper. The letter follows: Oberlin, Ohio, March 19, 1922. To the Editor of THE ACK. I have always been an admirer of your paper and your edithials, but with your stand upon the bonus question, published in your issue of March 4, I am forced to take issue. I graduated from high school with the intention of woring for a year in order to accumulate sufficient funds to enter college. I secured a good job, but instead of continuing at it, I entered the service. While there I was able to take something but it was nothing compared with what I would have saved had I continued at the high rate of wages which was then being paid. Discharged almost a year after the Armistice was signed, when the high wages was beginning to decline, I had difficulty in recurring work. Albany. I did manage to enter college it has been a hard light ever since. During the summer months only by the greatest difficulty was I able to get work. The case of my breeder is exactly the same as mine. But with a friend of mine it was entirely different. He戴了 at home, as I easily could have done, and taking advantage of the high wages, was able to earn a larger part of his expenses and also keep up with his class. I don't think it would be putting a price on patriotism for the government to provide some means for helping those boys who have been thus handicapped. They are trying to fit themselves to be of the best service to mankind and are being handcapped in that endeavor by answering the call of their country that country should do all in its power to help them. Colonel Little needs no bonus; perhaps most of the objects need none. Let them put themselves in the places of those who are fighting hard from going under and perhaps their objections will not be so strong. JAMES H. BATCHELOR Mr. Batchelor has put up perhaps the best argument that can be advanced for the payment of a bonus to that class of service men who while not physically disabled were materially handicapped by their war service. But it must be remembered that these men were not the only class of citizens who were made to suffer financially by the strain of war conditions. The war did not bring prosperity to all classes of workers nor to all men in business. Many of these were set back financially by the war taxes and the high cost of living without having an increase of income sufficient to offset these war conditions. Some of them are still suffering from this strain and hoping to find relief in the reduction of taxes and living costs. When our correspondent argues that the government should provide some means for helping those who have been handicapped by the war, he is thinking only of those who served in the army. Those in civil life who suffered similar handicaps might claim to be entitled to equal consideration. The government can pay a bonus only by raising money either by loans or taxes, and the whole people will have to pay it in the end. To and the punishment of a servant be the strictly enforced body of war law which will only be enforced by the service area would probably receive some temporary relief by the payment of a bonus of a few hundred dollars, they would find that prizes would still be given high and wide while employment would still remain hard to get. In the end it always is to be remembered that it is the people and the whole of the people who have to pay what the government disburses. The people will support the government cheerfully in bearing all the burdens necessary to provide for those soldiers who were physically or otherwise disabled by the war, as well as for their dependents. No pains should be spared in restoring them to health, and helping them to secure employment. But those who are fighting under handcaps like our correspondent should continue their efforts with the thought that the war imposed similar handicaps on many of those who remained at home. These also did their bit to keep those at the front in good trim by earnest support and sacrifice of time and comfort. The country is in no condition to undertake the burden imposed by the present soldiers bonus bill. In a report of the dedication of a new Rosenwald school at Russell, Ala., in the Mobile Weekly Press, the following feature was noted. The beautiful Rosenwald school at Russell enjoys its unique distinction of having been built by a colored contractor, Mr. Shepherd Foster, with colorfully colored workmen. While this distinction is creditable to the enterprise and ability of the contractor and his workmen, we regret that it should be classed as unique. Such a practical demonstration of racial progress in helping to fill its needs should be the rule and not the exception. The Nashville Clarion took a whack at the professional evangelist who earns his livelihood by excluding old hardened sammies and said that the world is the time to against emotional excitement. It added: There is too much preaching these days that makes you "get up and holler." In too many churches ignorance is regarded rather as a blessing then a bane, and a great many people seem to think that it matters little how a man lives so long as he signs in the meeting and repeats his religious experience year after year at evangelistic services. If our people are to be improved morally, spiritually, intellectually; if they are to know how to live; how to keep well; how to bring up children; boy to make good citizens; if they are to live abroad of the present century; they must be accommodated to the more intelligent, more sensible kind of preaching. The demand for better preachers and more intelligent preaching is growing steadily in all directions. If the church is to maintain its place as a moving force for the progress of the race, it must heed and respond to this demand of the times. Atlantic City is boasting that it will soon have the only Negro policewoman in the United States. It strikes us that we have heard that claim before from some other locality. Are there any other countries to be heard from? TRAIN CONTROLLERS AND Ravenly I received a letter from Dr. Charles W. Bortworth, Magnetic Research Engineer, who is a Fellow of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Society of Automotive Engineers, and member of the Railway Signal Association. I thank him to the space that I am allowed to use in my research. this company, say that it is my unseen promising opinion that it is a position worth investigating, as follows: First, the opinion of Dr. Burrison, as shown on the photographic letter in the possession of the demonstrator, only with the success of the invention from a scientific view; therefore, it is well to note that Dr. Burrison is a consulting engineer, and he is in no way responsible for unlicensed injuries which are likely injured into the issue matter. Second, the possession of a patent does not mean that the company has the necessary protection to see that the system becomes a success. For it to be remembered that there are manyventions patented by others, and that these conflicting patents will cause what is known as infringement suits to refusal of the Patent Office to grant necessary patents to protect the company's system; and I want to know what means can the company guarantee that they will not be compelled to close other patents which may prove their company from securing patents. The demonstrators of the company should take it plain to the investor that the company will not be governed by future adjustments upon their patent rights, and this possible only by the actual power of the necessary patents to protect the system. Thus, the financing of such an invention on the sale of one dollar share is rather a low mark of value set. However, it does allow small investors the chance to speculate on, vest, both of which depend upon the ultimate ending of the experiment. Again, referring to the adjustment millions invested by signal companies in general signal improvements are affected by the introduction of any size of merit, and should the company allowed the patients necessary to test their system, they will have a problem to see that competition does not force them into bankruptcy, or that they are not handicapped in the beginning, so it will not be possible for them to start a factory, which they theoretical or practical way, computing devices along the same line have a chance, and the only reason way for the investor to decide what or the desires to do should be based upon all the factors controlling the ultimate success of the company, instead of the opinion of an engineer, or financial promoter. In conclusion I believe the company will do well to cooperate with the central policies of representative bodies located in the various parts of the city where their stores are located. SOLOMON HARPER New York City. BIGGEST "COLOR LINE" LIE. Editor of The New York Age. The biggest of all "color line" lines are generally those that attack colored women. Y Andrew Robertson, whose he is, recently supported this phase of anti-Negro lying, perhaps unconsciously or unwittingly, when he wrote his article about color lines within the Negro race, which was published in Leslie's Illustrated Weekly. The Digat says Robertson is colored. We have always noticed that a man of any race can always help or hurt a race more than any man out of the race can hurt or help it. When the case of the Negro is to be most properly presented, a Negro must present it, and when the case of the Negro is to be most properly presented it takes a Negro to do the messing. We have already written a statement on the authority of the publication of this article, which stagnant will be published if it does not print even before its letter. But either of a Negro news service or us if we had taken note of that of Robertson's article which reflected the motives of lighter-skinned color women who marry iron a shade darker than themselves. We would prefer not these women to speak for themselves. There are millions of them who would like to give the lie to the implication that they may darker-skinned men to the low and unimaginative purpose of "ineal ticket," that they are deceiving their husbands and searing their son. But our opportunities to speak is better than theirs. We know them and we want them. can have groups of people who die in the harbors of their color—and the differ in both extremes in both sexes to both extremes sometimes the woman is a "white Negro" and the man black, and sometimes the man is a "white Negro" and the woman black. But the simulations of Robertson's article are insult to all the millions of black-skinned colored wives and mothers whose husbands and whose children dark. He insinuated that they must these men and reared these children simply to get their bread and meat; does not explain how it is that so many thousands of these women have married men who had less money than the women themselves had, nor does he explain why to many black women married to lighter-skinned men who were more advanced than the women both in educational attainment and money. There are many ignorant people who are ready to say that black-skinned colored women are without tue, and the monotrous implication Robertson's article supports "that Of course the American Negro is not attempt to preserve his color feature, for the simple reason that he has ALL THE COLORS and all features. Which one must he preserve. One is worth inst as much as the one. The Negro in Africa might speak to "preserving" his characteristics, but the group called "colored" in the United States. This group is now conspired in the matter of physical features. If it continues to be a separate group it may some day be unmistakened in a type. If so, it will then be a new under the sun, neither African nor Canadian nor Montanian. American Negro would be the races by himself, it is cared for entirely. Of course there are individual about their race and the role in their society. Even so than and others from one of these. But the group called Negro-American has stronger than of interest than more visual communities. There and so more people from one of these than the in The Realm of Music By Lucien H.

The vocal clubs are directed by Fred Work, formerly of the Pisk University Quartet, and the band is conducted by Livin. Eugene Mikell of New York City. The first concert is at the high school auditorium, East Orange, on April 6th; Lincoln High School, Jersey City, is to be visited on April 6th, with Hillside School, Montclair, and Central High School, Newark, on April 6th and 7th, respectively. Negro Spirituals and compositions by Negro composers will feature the program. GIRL IS PRIZE WINNER AS COSTUME DESIGNER band's induction into the highest office in this country. Mr. Collins put the resources of his establishment at 49 East 57th street, just off 57th avenue, into reproducing the colored girl's creation. Japanese crepe was the cloth selected in white and green, as in the original sketch, and the manikin selected was Edith's close friend and pal. Miss Frances Pepper, a 15-year-old Washington Heights girl. And the result was that the judges, after careful and physical scrutiny of the many charming many of them' elaborate, tracks down by the pretty models who had created the various creations, named the little colored girl as one of the winners. Dress Itself Is Prize Award. The dress is reproduced above, as worn by Miss Pepper, but the dainty loveliness of its blending of colors is naturally lost. Simplicity and elegance of line, combined with comfort and utility, were controlling factors. The dress itself was the prize awarded the designer. But a younger sister will have to enjoy the thrill of showing off a Collin's gown before her Harlem girl friends, as the design was created for a smaller form. Born in Jacksonville, Fla, seventeen years ago, Miss. Williams cae to New York with her parents six years ago. As a student at Junior High, she developed such unmistakable signs of drawing talent that by advice of other teachers, she entered the Textile High School at Beginning of the present term, as a student in costume designing. The first term in enuing in February, 1922, was devoted to copying and laying a technical foundation. She has only been doing original designing during the present term, which began February 22nd. The course covers the full number of high school years, and she expects to complete it in 1924. After further study, she will devote her efforts to costume designing as a profession. Her father, Clarence Williams, is a special clerk at the Grant Central Terminal postoffice station, and neither father or mother has evidenced any special artistic bent.

Mrs. Oakley's work in much sought for by the leading fashion and women's journals. It is interesting to note the interest which Mrs. Oakley and other instructors at Teenile are exciving on this colored pupil. In talking to an Age representative, Mrs. Oakley expressed herself as being more proud of Teenile than of other girl in her class. She declared that the talent and ability shown in colored girl is of a quality calculated to reflect credit not only upon her but upon the race in general. Salem Church and Lyceum. Lart-Sunday Rev.

The Blue and White triumphed over the Black and Orange on Tuesday evening, March 20th, when the Alpha Big Five, the Eastern champions, defeated the Oriental Big Five by a score of 23-10. The game was played before a large crowd at St. Marks Hall. Early in the season the Oriants defeated the Alpha team in New Rochelle, and this time the Harlemites were determined to win or die truing. At times, however, the Oriants were hot on the trail of the weavers of the English "A." Vanderwer was at his best and Lewis and Mon played exceptionally well, as did "Stretch" Grant in forward, and Randall in guard, who was to be seen everywhere about the floor. Gaynor of the Orientalists had an idea that, he could hold a certain party by the name of, Vanderveer down, but "Van" soon became wise and "did his stuff" - The Orientalists played with the spirit that any team might well desire to have. The game started like a whirlwind with Lewis of Alpha scoring the first point. A slight accident occurred early in the game when a member of the visiting team was thrown against an iron post. Another team was quickly substituted, and the game continued with the dust flying high until the end of the first half, when the score was announced as 16-8 with New Rochelle on the small end. At a time during the second half, the Orientalists got a winning streak and scored so many points that Alpha was only one point in the lead. Some one called time out for Alpha and W. Randall put a bug or two in his teammates cars, and at the same time he put in Waddell, the boy wonder, who helped them out of the tight situation. When the half ended, the final score was announced as.30-23. ALPHA ORIENTALS Vanderveer R. F. Garcia Grant L. F. Jones Mont C. Gaynor Lewis K. G Anderson Randall L. G.

C—In the recent hearing before the committee on the District of Columbia of the Houses of Representatives, the hearing being on six bills all hearing upon the general subjects of "Intermarriage of whites and Negroes in the District of Columbia" and "Separate Accommodations in Street Cars for whites and Negroes in the District of Columbia," the principal arguments were made by Archibald H. Grimke and Whitfield McKinley in opposition to the measures; but interesting statements were also made by Kelly Miller, George W. Cooke, Mrs. Rosetta E. Lawson and Attorney James A. Cobb. Mr. McKinley, who is a prominent real estate broker and race leader of large learning and experience, said he came originally from Charleston, S. C. and directed attention to the widespread opposition to a proposed amendment of the miscognition laws in the Constitutional Convention of 1894 by leading white persons because they were sure it would lead to bloodshed, as so many prominent, families in South Carolina had a strain of Negro blood in them. Mr. McKinley also contended that if there were no laws against the question "race pride would be a harrier against the intermarriage of the race" and instead an instance personal to himself, saying, he would rather "see his daughters dead than to see them marry into the white race under present conditions." He maintained that miscognition laws defeated their main purpose, as they constrained many colorful people to pass over into the white family group. He said, "I can conceive of nothing more serious, nothing more harmful to both races than to inflict upon a law that in effect says that one race is superior and the other race is inferior, and not in effect bringing about the results intended." It was brought out that there are so few intermarigations in the District of Columbia that a law to present such is unnecessary on that account as well as being utterly unsealed in morals and public policy. Negotiations have been started by the Government; through the State Department and the Liberian Government, to have the remains of Col Charles Young brought here for burial in Arlington Cemetery.

WASHINGTON MONUMENT READY FOR UNVEILING (Special to The New York Age). Tuskegee Institute, Atax—The Booker T. Washington statue, done by Charles Keck, sculptor, of New York City, has been placed in position in center of Tuskegee's campus, preparatory to the formal unveiling ceremonies to be held on April 5th. The statue, an eight-feet bronze figure, is placed on an artistic granite podestal, and forms a striking memorial to the founder of this school. Dr. Robert Russia Moton, successor to Dr. Washington as principal at Tuskegee, and William G. Willcox of New York City, chairman of the board of trustees, were present when the statue was placed in position. Hundreds of teachers and students thronged the campus during the few minutes that the statue was uncovered. Indications are that the unveiling ceremony will be witnessed by the largest group, colored and white, ever assembled at this institution. Telegrams and letters from intending visitors have been received from all sections of the country. Madam C.J.

The reason for this exceeding hurried conviction is apparent in the statement from the Circuit Court, which has been made part of the record. In this statement the judge of the Circuit Court said: "I knew that feeling was running high against the accused in and about the court house and had some fear of mob violence being inflicted on the accused if speedy justice were not meted out to him by the court." "The mob spirit has dictated this conviction," said Judge Lively, in his opinion. "The blood-thirsty mob spirit permeated the atmosphere of the trial, and had its effect upon the court and jury. The defendant may be guilty; that does not concern us. But he is entitled to fair and impartial trial, to the calm, deliberate and uninfluenced judgment of his peers. Orderly and constituted government demands such trial. It is a safeguard in which all members of society are interested and which should be jealously upheld and guarded. A judicial lynching is a graver and more startling crime than a lynching by an irresponsible rabble.

ALABAMA TEACHERS IN BESSON AT TUSKEGEE (Special to The New York Age) Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—More than 1,200 teachers in Negro schools of Alabama are expected to attend the forty-first annual meeting of the Alabama Association of Teachers in Negro Schools, which will be held at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church with the exception of Tuesday morning session which will be held at the Birmingham Industrial High School. CATARRH GLADDER SANTAL MID SAFE AND SUCCESSFULL Says her hair has grown 28 inches long by using this wonderful hair grower Flash Defeats Terry Martin and speed trimmed over age season when, Kid Rash defeat season Terry Martin in a fi- lter contest at the 200th Kegi- tary on Friday night, March the contest, was one of the closest and most interesting witnessed at this year's in a long time, and although led the light in almost every hand, his blows lacked the force of a knife, and he was unable to keep up the fast pace set in the early rounds in the bout. Several times in the last three rounds, he was made diary by him, which made his face a mass of bruises, but each time his greater experience saved him from being knocked out. By defeating Martin, Rach earned the right to meet Danny Edwards, the eastern champion, and a bout between these two has been arranged for the first Friday night in April. Rach's weight was announced at 117 pounds, and that of Martin's at 113 pounds. In the semi-final contest the situation was the reverse to that of the final bout, for Young Otto, a veteran of some fifteen years' experience, knocked out Young Cowler, a fast but inexperienced fighter, in the fourth round of a she DEMPSEY IS AFRAID of WILLS. Jack Dempsey, in his way to California before going to Europe, says he is sorry Tom Gibbons could not kick Harry Greb. There might have been a match between Dempsey and Gibbons, which would have been fairly soft for Jack, but no one can suggest that the still smaller Greb take on the fight. Therefore Dempsey is going abroad to find a match which will make money. He may fight Carpentier again, with another understanding to let the fight to several rounds before he does his stuff, and he will fight Joe Beckett. We know that when the famous British horizontal champion was told that he had been signed to meet Dempsey a paired look came into his patient face and he said, 'Why me?' Mr Beckett is like one of the board old stars used in building in the cowboy show. He has been put through it so often that he heats out Hempsey says that there is no new airKing zout a night with Harry Wills the brunt manlet. The public, who ever that is, has ex interest in it and would not pay to see it, he says. We think Mr. Dempsey undermines table到底sity. A great many people would like to know whether he is always a‖ champie of the world or what leaves weight champ in. We shall seem that he is what he would change in me; he gets into a ring with Will and process otherwise. R. S. Wills is because he is afraid to do so not, because he's afraid to change wellness but afraid to take a chance with his life and she can be the man made with it. AT LAFAYETTE THEATRE AT LAFAYETTE THEATRE Tay Har琳 favours will be seen in the Lafayette Theater during the week of April 11th when the Dumont Players present Andrew Wilkinson and Co. Demonstrate in "The Street" a charitable play which will bring to Poughkeepsie sometime ago. The setting of the play is in the North woods, and one of the most real-life scenes that has ever been played is the scene of a tow truck that comes to a climax of the play. Other well known actors who part in this play are H. L. Prentice, Bella Jackson, Walter Robinson, Harrison Jackson, Paul Chancy and Row Phillips. "Up and Down," with Whitney and Tutt and Amon Davis, proved so popular last week that the management held it over for another week, and those who have not seen this show will have an opportunity to see it on Friday or Saturday of this week. THE LINCOLN THEATRE Football, the Fox special which opened Thursday at the Lincoln Theatre, is unlike anything else ever known on the screen. It is not merely different from other pictures; it is distinctly and striking new. The photodrama is based upon the story with which William Daniel Steele won the 1920 prize offered by the O. A. Magistrate Committee for the best story of the year. The production was directed by Charles J. Brahm, who with William the deviled means of conveying an expression of sound through the pictures on the screen. This was essential, the story is based upon the sound football heard an interpreted by a monstrous alarms in tense situa- tion and thrilling action. It is a unique work with an astonishing climax. AT BOOSEYLT THEATRE double feature program is being attended at the Roosevelt Theatre on March 31st. "At Bay" a three- picture, with Florence Reed, will feature the features. This is a wom- nage drama in which a woman be- tweenness in a plot to discredit who is the district attorney, and bringing out notorious gambling and other places of vice. Another feature of the day is "The Girl with Gladys Walton." The film is a western Walton's most recent version of the girlish type. This film, directed by Ted Browning, is based "Outside the Law," and known photoplay. The story comes from a magazine story by Davis McNutt. dulled cement bout. Otto has an unusually low left and has the art of jabbing down to perfection. After getting his opponent careless and excited with jabs in the face, he finished him with a right to the stomach after two minutes lighting in the fourth round. Otto's weight was 155 pounds and Cowler's 130. "Battling Farrell won the judges' decision over Jimmie Harris, of the 47th Regiment in the first preliminary contest. Young Joe Rivers and Young Kramer of the 102nd Medical Regiment fought a four-round draw in the second preliminary. In the other preliminary contest Kish Shumma knocked out Barney Williams of the 9th Coast Defense in the fourth round of a scheduled six-round contest. Young Slocum improves with each of hisights, and in knocking out Williams, he performed a feat never before accomplished at this army, although Williams, has fought here more often than any other white fighter. The army honors are growing rapidly in popularity, and have been attended by the past three women: Jeanne Shipman, Jr. and Eddie Pollack, were the referrer.

Some of the best sprinters, jumpers, distance men and the like, represented Living Recreation Center, No. 89, of the Northshore, at the annual meet of the Northshore League held last Saturday evening, March 25, at the 22nd Repellent Armory. I presume that inadequate facilities for training was the cause of them not making a better showing. Despite the great handicap, they proved to be some of the gamest runners seen in action for quite some time. For instance, 800-400 relay team composed of DeSoula Carhill, Exley Parris and Eunis Parris, showed some fighting spirit. In their heat these were about 8 or 9 teams. DeSoula led off, but on the last turn he was tripped. He received a bad fall and at the same time dropped his bat. By the time he scrambled to his feet, everyone had passed him. Did he stay? Norrie! He picked up his stick and ran as he never lean before. He touched Coshin off who managed to catch up with the man in front of him. The two Parris brothers ran and 4th but they could not overcome the lead enough to place in the finish. No doubt, if the accident had not occurred they would have won. Morris Perry and L. Desuria made fine showings in the 60-yard dash. Perry was able to qualify for the finals. Levy, McKenzie and Sherry were not able to take places in the finals in the 70th. Couch Ralston had three good entries in the 100-yard dash for unlimited weights. They were Paul Hogganey, Paine and Howard. Only Paine survived on the finals only to be beaten out by Eric Dawkins "the flyer" representing P. S. 179. Manhattan Dawkins really earned his race a Paine made him top. His form was perfect. Eshley Parris succeeded in reaching the final stage of the potato race. One must cost him the race; he held the leading place. George Russell and G. Davis were unclassified in the 220-yard run. S. Muller and Russell Hilt were entered in the 440-yard run but did not succeed in placing, although they put up a game fight. F. Booker and H. Pinado were entered in the mile run. Booker was forced to retire when about half the distance was covered. Pinado did not succeed in placing. The half-mile relay placed third. It was composed of L. Russell, Mrs. Queen and Davis. The mile relay was fourth in the finals. Paine, who at one time held first place, dropped back to third place, accounted for their defeat. The thing worthy of most mention was that a person wearing the plain number of 772 on his back and known as one Boston representing 9, took second place in the high jump. Coach Ralston had two sure winners entered in that event. One was unable to compete. Boston was beaten our by an opponent from E. R. C. 10. Boston jumped 5 feet, 9 inches, but he can jump much higher, and could have done so "but" and some more "bots." Dancing followed the meet. The "Finale Hoppers" or "Flappers" had all the athletics running wild to the merry straining of the hand. Coach Ralston is daily "working out" on the youthful athlete of P. S. 89 for the forthecoming Hudson District meet, which he expects to bring some the crew not mentioning the medal. Atta Boyl Coach. Tuesday evening, March 21st, the Buffalo Juniors were down to P. S. 19 and defeated the Columbia Juniors to the tune of 2019. Columbia wasn't to be fooled with in the first half, for at the end of the game was 1972 with the Buffaloes leading. From the beginning of the second season on, the Harlemites got down to business. Columbia trailed along behind but they were determined to make the victory play hard for it. Blue Belts Win Two The Blue Belt Girls of New York City were victors in two basketball games last week, defeating the Blue Birds of Newark and the Oriental Girls of New Rochelle. The Newark girls were met on Thursday, March 11, and the Blue Belt took the game, 27 to 5. On Saturday, March 25th, the Oriental Girls were down on the New Rochelle court by the score of 7 to 4. Helen Elison was the star, scoring eighteen points for the Blue Belt, in the two games. The Girl is credited with fifty-two points in six games that season. Mitch Cerven was performed in the center of the New Rochelle field from the Blue Belt Girls were disbanded with the work of the New Rochelle referee, Joe Grant. He is charged with permitting the Oriental girls to get away with innocence, piracy and with alleged fouls. It is pointed out that he called 25 fouls on the New York girls giving the team only six. Lincoln-Decatur Five (Special to The New York Age) Orange, N. J., Lincoln University's championship basketball team scored a hard earned victory over the Delta Five of Howard University at the Orange Armory on March 2nd. The first two minutes of the game were the hardest we'll have to two teams heading neck and neck, the final alternating with each basket. Captain Wheatland of Lincoln got away, and with Wheatland up the score. The first half ended 21-10 in favor of Lincoln. Wheatland and ran wild in the second half, going down after point. Days on Howard fought hard in guard to stop Wheatland, but with the Lincoln center capped. Wood came up and scored at will. Richardson, the Howard star to forward, played all over, taking the lead. Lincoln scored and defending the length of the basket. If Ward could have found one user fighter like Days and Richardson, the story might have been different. McLean's guarding for Linch featured, although he was off on his shots. Linch's passing was superb, in fact, this was the best team work seen in Jersey this year. Final score: Lincoln 38; Delta 25 Referee: Charlie McKay CHANGES IN FOOTBALL BILLES COMING SEASON A recent meeting of the Football, Rules Committee of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association, a number of new rules were adopted for the coming season. Among the changes made were the prohibiting of players who were taken out early in the game to be allowed to return later, and allowing a team which has, just made a touchdown, the choice of either a drip kick, a goal from placement, or of throwing a forward pass for the extra point. Tad Jones, the head coach of the Yale team, and one of the leading football authorities in the country, in commenting on these new rules said: "I am very much pleased with the recent changes in the football rules, particularly that applying to substitutions. The idea that the rule just changed made the game safer is, in my judgment, erroneous. "Seldom, if ever, is it necessary to remove a man because of exhaustion in case of exhaustion or serious injury it should be made absolutely impossible for a coach to send a man back after he has been rested, for on his return to the game a man in such condition would be liable to more serious injury. "The new rule will place the responsibility largely on the team itself. A coach will find it necessary therefore to develop responsibility, frugality and judgment in his team attributes which will make latter claims and a better team."

The method of scoring one point after a touchdown will I believe, place a premium on team play and add something to offensive strategy. It is by no means certain that a team will elect a drop kick or goal-from placement. "Whether kick, pass or run is elected, will depend largely on the personnel of the back field." C.Y.B.A.TO PRESENT STARS IN BIG BENEFIT What is predicted to be the greatest show of an all-star aggregation will occur at midnight on April 2nd, when the Colored Vanderbilt Resolvent Association will present at the Lincoln Theatre a variety of spectacular novelty arts which promise to unfreeze some of the biggest stars in both races. The staging of this trace by the C. B. New for housevolent purposes and is to include the creation of a fond to care for sick members of the protection and for the burial of its dead.

THE SWEET CHARITY'S SAKE The Day Nursery Twenty Years Old Hope Day Nursery, the pioneer farm nursery of its kind in the city, published March 18, 1902, has just punched out twenty years of usefulness in the community. The Nursery was first located at West 35th street, where it remained until the building was sold. The man- agement feeling that congested Har- ard offered greater opportunities for active work, moved in January, 1910, 223 West 134th street. In October of the same year, the Nursery was been compelled to look for new quart- ments on account of the sale of this property, and relocated at 114 West 134th street. Realizing that such frequent changes of location greatly handicapped the task, the board of managers felt that time was just so secure a permanent home, and for this purpose a building committee was organized and a willing fund started. On October 11, 1911, the Nursery became an incorporated body, to be estimated as Hope Day Nursery for shared Children, Incorporated. In 1914, through a legacy of the late J. A. Williams, its present home, West 133rd street was bequeathed to the Nursery, thus giving them the financial quarters they had so long hired. This property, though, was newly encumbered, having a mortgage over $6000, besides other liens to the building fund committee, which had been organized to purchase a case for the Nursery, was continued, almost immediately turned its position toward clearing the newly acquired property of its large indebtedness. Today, this property, located at 133rd street, stands as a last establishment to the uniting efforts of this committee and its fellow employees. The job was successfully established, and the nursery is now on clear property. Day Nursery has proved it with the community during these new years by always standing up for service it has been the means of together. When the father makes his wages are too small the high cost of living, or the husband has, deserted his little ones, or a widowed wife up the family's support, Nursery that has come to the mothers, by caring for her while she makes an honest the Nursery's annual report for the children that it has since 1902 aggregate over Nursery is conducted and main- tained by a board of man- agers whom are colored women and whom require any salary tabor.

C. G. congregation, which was followed by an interdisciplinary and discursive meeting. The theme of the conference was "Keeper of the Light" and Miss Myra Colson, of the National Y.W. W. C. A. Training School, spoke and led the discussion on that subject. At 7 o'clock a hallway was held at St. James Presbyterian Church under the direction of a committee of Sunday school teachers and teachers from various churches. As subjects for their classes, the girls and women of our race who have been "Keeper of the Light" past and present, and also the requirement of the girl who is to be the "Keeper of the Light" for the future.
