PRICE, FIVE CENTS Southern Officials Aroused To Action Against Ku Klux; Western State Official Declares Order Has No Standing Southern States Take Steps To Curb Ku Klux Klan Growth Texas and Louisiana Officials Awake to Menace of White Masked Organization And Urge Prompt Action Colorado Refuses Charter Attorney General Declares Order Has No Legal Standing—Louisiana Judge Links Ku Kluxers and Bootleggers in Demand for Grand Jury Action Following upon the action of the white women of Texas, told of in THE AGE of April 15th, in which they took a decided stand against lynching and mob crimes, declaring that law and order must be maintained, a concerted effort seems to be in process of development for the purpose of counteracting and putting a stop to the activities of the Ku Klux Klan. Attacked By White Gangmen, Colored Cop Arrested Bunch (Special to The New York Times Pittsburgh, Pa.—Ralph Young, Jr. of Pittsburgh's Negro polygamia, is to receive a medal for bravery, during Superintendent of Police John C. Boon. The award comes on the occasion of Young's courage and determination. When attempting to arrest several others joined in the attack, other tripping into fright and cruelly beating and hiding the trade polygamia. Young was arrested to drive the police car and, first, was a resident of the area where the attack took place. After the attack, he was arrested and charged with the murder of two police officers. At Austin, Texas, in an appeal heard before the Court of Criminal Appeals, a decision was handed down declaring that witnesses can be compelled to testify to their relations with the Klan, preceded of an oath administered by the Klan, the court holding that the court's judicial power transcends that of any civil organization, secret or otherwise. This decision means that Police Commissioner J. D. Copeland and F. G. Reynolds, clerk of the Austin camp of the Woodmen of the World, who were fined $100 each and ordered committed to jail by District Judge James R. Hamilton when they refused to answer questions propounded by the Travis county grand jury, will be compelled to answer or go to jail. In Louisiana Governor Parker has issued an appeal to law officers urging them to suppress "with an iron hand the old of Ku Kluxian, wherever it raises its hand." This action was taken as a result of repeated complaints the Governor had received from various sections of the state. The Governor said that at the approaching session of the Legislature he would appeal to that body to enact a law "making it a felony for any man to hide behind a mask to drag the good name of this state in the mire, and bring contempt for law and civilization." Governor Parker's statement added: "There is no place in Louisiana for any Kluxism, Bolshevism, radicalism or any other 'ism' that aims to destroy peace and order. The idea that any set of men may with impunity disregard the authority of the courts and set law at distance in order to correct some evil or punish some evildoers secretly and generally under cover of darkness is absolutely foreign to proper conceptions of democratic government. "There is no such thing as popular justice. It is popular injustice, because it brings law into contempt, leads to class distinction and racial hatred and makes judges and juries mere figure-bends." Judges Ugres Grand Jury Action. At Lafayette, La., in his charge to the April grand jury, District Judge William Campbell paid special attention to law enforcement, and included in his charge an arrangement of bootleggers and the Ku Klux Klan. His charge said in part: "We are guided and governed by the eterna of justice to which we are subject. No man in this country is so high that he is above the law, all the officers of this government, from the highest to the lowest, are but creatures of the law and bound to obey it. Government is a trust, and the officers of the government are trustees, and both the trust and trustees are created by the people for the benefit of all the people." My duty is clear. So long as I am the responsible head of the Department of Justice in this jurisdiction, the law will be enforced with all the power possessed by the— which I agn at liberty to call to my command. To all of this I add not only my endorsement but I pledge this: These principles shall be my principles; and so long as I am connected with the Department of Justice of the Eighteenth Judicial District they shall be the Gengaia of its new testament. Klaus Violates Fundamental law. "The court charges you, gentlemen of the court jury, that any man or set of men who take the law of the country in their own hands, to right or redress a right, or imaginary right, violate the fundamental law, that is the constitution of the United States and of the state of Louisiana, and immediately be punished by any organization which holds its meetings by the light of bonfires in secret places, whose members wear white suits and masks and which attempts to prevent orderly citizens from enjoying their constitutional rights, freedom of speech, and right of trial by jury, is a proper subject for investigation by a grand jury. "That is because such behavior on the part of a secret society is a conspiracy and the law can be brought to bear upon them. "It is not within the province of such secret societies to say who is or is not a desirable citizen and for them to attempt or try to administer justice in the dead of night or in the woods is a contempt of the law and a violation of the law. "According to the press and newspapers as published, there is a certain organization now in existence, the members of which are undertaking to censor the conduct of their fellow citizens, and when you get to such state of affairs, one may well ask what difference there is between the United States and Bolashevism in Russia." Colorado Bars Klan The Elks Lodge of Lafayette passed a set of resolutions endorsing the stand taken by Governor Parker and Judge Campbell, and asking the City Commission Council to prohibit making within the city limits. Mayor Robert L. Mouton, who was present, endorsed the resolution and said he was preparing such an ordinance. A few days earlier it was announced that Attorney General Keyes of Colorado had handed down an opinion to Secretary of State Milliken, which resulted in the barring of the Ku Klux Klan from incorporation in that state. The attorney general declared that "the specification of the business and objects for which the organization is formed in so vague, general and indefinite." In this connection it is recalled that the Colorado Klan had previously made direct threats against the personal safety of George W. Gross, Special messenger to the Governor, and president of the Denver branch N. A. A. C. P., who had been specially active in objecting to the joining of a charter to the Ku Klux Klan.

Alice Freeman Palmer Building is Consecrated to Service With Impressive and Striking Ceremonies Charlotte Hawkins Brown, Founder and Principal After Twenty Years of Struggle, Sees Part Completion of Her Life' Desire Sedalia, N. C.—I believe it was Ralph Waldo Emerson, the Concord philosopher, who once said that, if a person built a better mouse trap than any one else the world would make a beaten path to his habitation, even should he reside in a hut in the wilderness. We were particularly proud of the man who went to the Palmer Memorial Institute at Sedalia on Friday, April 6th, to be present at the dedicatory exercises of the Alice Freeman Palmer building, one of the most modern structures to be found at any college in the state, costing $150,000.

Funds for Excavation of Passenger Station to Cost $1,300,000—Injured Race Question (Special) To The New York Age). Greenboro, N. Co.—The people of Greensboro, by a majority of 61 votes, voted for the president to issue City Funds for Excavation of Passenger Station to Cost $1,300,000—Injured Race Question. In the same election it was said that as the president had been allowed good conditions to remain they would not be injured fairly when they were in hostel. As to the diversion of children was handled, Carden H. Moore, chairman of the Board, was appointed to the diversion of children. In connection with the dedication ceremonies there were also held the twentieth anniversary exercises. The occasion was not only auspicious, but an eventful one, as it brought together upon a common platform in a rural community in Guilford County some of the most prominent white men and women of the South and North, who are sincerely interested in lifting the veil of ignorance and superstition from before the face of a less fortunate people. Dedicatory Exercise The dedicatory exercises, presided over by Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, the principal, were the most largely attended and most enjoyable ever held at the institution. Prominent white, men and women front all parts of Guilford County, as well as many colored people from the surrounding section were present. Several interesting addresses were delivered, while the music was another enjoyable feature. George Herbert Palmer, a former member of the faculty of Harvard University, spoke interestingly of the work being done at Palmer Memorial Institute, which was established in memory of his wife. Professor Palmer told of the many good deeds his wife had done, and of the interest she had taken in education. Dr. William J. Schiffelin of New York, told of the unveiling of the monument at Tuskegee, in memory of Booker T. Washington. Dr. Schiffelin brought greetings from the board of trustees of Tuskegee. His address was peculiarly interesting and was thoroughly enjoyed by those present. Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, twenty years ago, on graduating from a school in Cambridge, Mass., decided to come South to cast her lot with her people for their upifts and advancement. As soon as she put foot in this village she became obsessed with an idea or vision. And during all this period it has been her thought by day and dream by night, so to speak, and although many a time her "home was deferred," yet because of her faith in this idea, with which she was beset two decades ago, she never entirely lost heart. So "the desire came," in the completion and dedication of the new building last Friday, and "it is a tree of life" not only to her, but, also, to those for whom she has given unreservedly her life's services. The program of exercises in the morning of Friday consisted of meeting of board of trustees, inspection of buildings, grounds and exhibits. In the afternoon there was a parade of the student body and patrons, after which came the exercises of the primary and intermediate departments, followed by an address by Thomas R. Foust, county superintendent of education. The Principle of Lova At night, after the exercises by the advanced grades, consisting of demonstrations from the agricultural, domestic arts, and mechanical departments, which were well performed by the students chosen to represent their respective departments, Dr. James E.

New York Churches Celebrate Easter Beautiful Weather, Mild and Warm, Draws Thousands Out To Church Choirs and Sunday-Schools Give Elaborate Musical Renditions in Commemorating The Resurrection of the Crucified Lord The weather man was gracious to New York churchgoers on Easter Sunday. Cold and inclement weather lasted up to Saturday evening, but Sunday morning dawned clear and a bright sun warmed the air so that it was possible for the ladies to don their festal garments and be comfortable.

All of the churches were thronged with worshippers and pastors, choirmasters and singers had given long and careful preparation to the sermons and special music which made up the programs of services.

Defitting the occasion by one of the largest congregations that has ever been witnessed at her services.

The church was beautifully decorated with sweet smelling flowers and appropriate hangings, while birds, that had been brought there by friends, to lend befitting significance to the occasion, wished forth their sweet and cheerful songs testifying to the advent of Spring and the life-feeling power which it brings. In keeping with the occasion Mother Zion choir did itself and the church which it serves, great credit in rendering selections inspiring, uplifting and highly appropriate to the day's observance. The 11 o'clock sermon was preached by the pastor, Dr. J. W. Brown. His text he announced from Job 14:10: subject, "Resurrection." The sermon showed that the speaker was not only thoughtful as to the profound significance of the importance of the service, but also realized that an unusually large number of people had presented themselves at worship and that the vital need of the hour was to present to them such truisms concerning the resurrection of our Lord, and Saviour, Jesus Christ, as would result in spiritually strengthening, their faith and inspire to higher Christian living. It was the prayerful preparation for the delivery of an Easter message that caused the service to meet the spiritual approbation of all present.

These services are growing in spiritual interest each week, and are a telling asset in the spiritual life of the church.

Fastor Bolden, said the Apostle Paul was ushered into a consciousness of the spiritual deposit of the Father and the Son, the Emmanual in human mind, by revelation and experience. A thoughtful and reverent study of his life before and after his marvellous conversion to the belief in the resurrection of our Lord, the abiding preace of the Holy Spirit, and the assurance of God the Father raising us by that spirit into the eKingdom and life eternal, will cause any and all who believe the history of St. Paul to live only for the glory of God, and for the good they may do in the world of humanity."

George Mastocks and Hurley, with a full-robed choir and uniformed lady masters. The service, lasting one and a half hours, was the most impressive of its kind in the number of the choirs. Long, before the hour for the regular morning service, the entire church was filled to capacity. Chairs were placed in every available space and many weep turned awake. Dr. Brown was assisted at this service by Dr. F. M. Jacobs and Rev. Albert Johnson. Dr. Brown's theme was "The significance of Easter."

Little ones gathered at 9:45 for the study of the Word, and at 11 a.m. the house was filled with worshippers to hear the annual Easter sermon by Rev. H. H. Proctor, who spoke on "The Birth Throes of a New Era." The discourse was far out of the beaten track of such sermons, and its freshness was heartily appreciated by the great audience. He showed how the entire world was astir with a new spirit, and that spirit was Easter spirit seeking for expression. He showed how the times were calling for men who would seek the truth, follow it and go down with it if necessary. Five new members were received during the day and two infants were baptized. The contributions of the day amounted to nearly $1,800 from all sources. At 6:30 p. m. the annual Sunday-school concert. J. H. Winder, superintendent, took place, when the beautiful story, ever new, was told by infant lips. The climax of the day came when the senior choir gave a magnificent service of song. The choir was assisted by Miss Mabel Diggs, who sang both at the morning and the evening hours. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, who have been head of the choir for nearly a score of years, deserve great credit for the fine showing the choir is making every Sabbath. The Rex. D. J. Flynn of Charlotte, N. C., will assist the pastor in evangelistic services, beginning next Sunday at 11 a. m., and continuing through the following Sabbath. Dr. Flynn is an social evangelist of the Congregational churches.

M. Rivera, presiding, as the speaker of the evening. Dr. Shepard, after thinking the northern and southern white friends who were present for their deep interest and substantial aid in supporting the principal, Mrs. Brown, in her persistent and unwavered labor to educate and train our boys and girls for usefulness in life, made an appeal to the student body that, when they go out from this school into the school room of life, they nurture within their hearts and try to instill into others the principle of love instead of hate. That in doing so their lives would be of great benefit to themselves and service to others. In closing, he quoted what the late Dr. Booker T. Washington once said: "I will let no man drag me down so low as to make me hate him." "Let this be your sentiment," said the speaker, "and you'll be happy and a benefactor to mankind." The address of Dr. Shepard was not only pointed and forceful but was well received by the large audience.

ACIDS IN STOMACH CAUSE INDigestion Create Gas, Sourness and Pain How To Treat Medical authorities state that nearly nine-tenth of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning, gas bleating, nausea, etc. are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not as some believe to a lack of digestive juices. The delicate stomach lining is irritated, digestion is delayed and food soaks, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestents are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any drugstress a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid, and there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated Magnesia (in powder, or tablet form—never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and is the most efficient form of magnesia for stomach purpose. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meal with no more fear of indigestion. Telephone Morninggloss 8334 BARRY R. MOORE, Publisher and Editor DAVID H. WHITE, Managing Editor JAMES W.

The "Lilywhites" in North Carolina, who continue to masquerade under the style of the Republican party, recently met in convention at Winston-Salem and denounced the Democratic machine for the infamous methods employed by it in the campaign of 1920. Incidentally it named Charles A. Reynolds as national committeeman, to succeed John M. Moreshead, a change that could hardly fit for the worse. In addition to denouncing the Democrats, whose racial politics the "Lilywhites" have adopted, the platform had the following to pay on the race issue: The Government of this country has ever been, and ever will be, controlled and administered by the white race. The Republican party of North Carolina in convention assembled stands for the perpetuation of this fundamental right. The "Lilywhites" who vainly seek to differentiate themselves from the Southern Democrats, then went on to further justify themselves by saying: The Republican party of North Carolina is an organization of white men and women. It has no intention of appointing Negroes to office within the State. Could the ancient Bourbon Democracy go further than this? The so-called Republicans of North Carolina evidently have not taken in earnest President Harding's policy of organizing the party with the best element of both races at the fore. Nor have they taken warning by the disaster that befell the "Lilywhites" of Virginia, who failed to ignominiously in their State campaign started on a similar platform The ultimate result of these "Lily whale" efforts will be the destruction of the Republican party in the South. What will be carried in its place remains to be seen. ANNAPOLIS ON TRIAL. A rather pessimistic view of the conditions that will confront the colored candidate for a cadetship, in case he is accepted as fulfilling the requirements for admission to the United States Natural Academy, is expressed in the Nation of April 19. The Nation is one of the broadest exponents of human rights and liberal sentiments among the weekly publications of this country and its views on this question are entitled to careful consideration. It says: It is a long, hard trail that Emile Treville Holley is hitting. Holley is the Harlem Negro that Representative Martin C. Annsorge has nominated to be a midshipman at Annapolis. His fellows will ostracize him—that the young snobs who will be his fellow cadets have already made abundantly plain. His superiors will snub them. There is talk of "unwritten laws and customs of the naval service which may make life therein desirable to anyone, for any man may be regarded as personally admissible," and recollection of the fact which was created for the Negro cadets who braved Annapolis in 1814, to whom no other cadet ever exists, except when official duty requires it. There are many who urge Holley "in his own interest" to stand down. If he has the courage and conviction to pass the ordeal we hope in the interest of his own race will see it through. Annapolis, after all, belongs not to the cadets but to the nation of which ten million men and women of dark skin are women and those men and women never win the rights, which are held until pioneers face just such a confront Holley Louis was a Blind scholarship to the university of Pennsylvania, Edwin O. Courtrie carried Harvard's orders to victory at a university meet and scores of other dark skinned students have sound heavily for the institution that they attended. The Naval Academy is a public institution maintained by the taxpayers' money for the defence of the nation. It is attended by red-blooded American youth from all parts of the country. It remains to be seen whether this government institution is not equal in the saying quality of American fairplay to the greater universities of the land. We shall believe and hope that it is, until we are convinced to the contrary. DELAYING THE LOAN. Valuable time has already been lost in concluding the proposed loan from the Treasury of the United States to the Republic of Liberia. For over two years the negotiations have lingered until finally an agreement was reached between the State Department and the Liberian Government as to the arrangements upon which the five million dollars were to be advanced and to provide for its repayment. There remained, only the necessary legislation to be passed by Congress for the appropriation of the money and the appointment of the commission to deal with the details. For some unknown reason, Congress has balked at the last moment in taking this final action. This continued delay has worked unfavorably for the interests of Liberia. One of the principal reasons advanced for the extension of this help to Liberia was the fact that the Republic supported the cause of the allies in the World War and thereby lost the German business interests that constituted the larger part of its foreign commerce. It was to compensate for this loss and aid in the further development of its internal resources that the loan was first proposed. If the matter is to be commensated on the lines laid down, it should be done without further unnecessary delay. With the appointment of a mixed commission, whose personnel would be such as to work in sympathetic cooperation with Liberian interests, the plan should be carried out in such a manner as to benefit both parties to the loan. It has been stated that other nations than the United States stand ready to lend Liberia the financial assistance needed at this critical time, but the acceptance of help from any other nation would probably lead to political complications that would be better avoided. Let Congress act promptly in passing the legislation necessary for the extension of this long promised loan so that Liberia may get at the work of internal development in real earnest. Both of these books are destined to be widely read and much discussed. In fiction heretofore written by Southern white authors there has been only one kind of Negro treated with any consideration and that was the Negro of the old Mammy and Uncle class. But in "Birthright" and "White and Black" we have two Southern white authors making an honest attempt to exhibit a slice of life in the South. It is true that both these authors have their shortcomings and neither of them is entirely free from the limitations of prejudice, but there is no doubt that both of them have striven to be sincere and honest. AN IMPOSSIBLE CONDITION. The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which was passed after strenuous opposition, mostly on the part of Southern Congressmen in the House of Representatives, now awaits action in the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. The chairman of the sub-committee, whose influence is necessary to support the bill, is Senator Borah of Idaho, who is a lawyer of wide attunements and decided convictions on any subject coming before him for decision. Perhaps a number of colored people have already read "Birthright" as it ran as a serial in the "Century" magazine, and no doubt most of those who have read it were disappointed in the way the story was finally worked out and concluded. There are grounds in the story for such disappointment. But even so, we should remember how far in advance it is of the traditional fiction about the races that has come out of the South. Whatever deficiencies of knowledge regarding the black South the author of "Birthright" shows he makes up for by his full and absolute knowledge of the white South, and that white South he does not spare. He holds it up as it is provincial, ignorant and prejudiced. A committee of our citizens in Washington recently waited upon Senator Borah and asked for his favorable consideration of the measure and urged that he would use his influence to further its progress. It was reported that the Senator listened attentively to the pleas of this committee and gave this assurance to its members: That if they could prove to him that the bill was constitutional, he would lend his support to its passage. I think, however, that "White and Black" is a better story and stronger. The author of "White and Black" knows his white South fully as well as does the author of "Birthright" and he knows his black South better. "White and Black" takes in a wider range of race relations in the South than does "Birthright." It considers these relations not only in the conventional light of race prejudice but also in the light of economics. Neither is the author afraid to speak out plainly on that element in the problem which is almost absolutely taboo, the sex element. The members of this committee swallowed this assurance at its face value and derived considerable encouragement therefrom. It does not seem to have occurred to them that if so eminent a legal authority as Senator Borah was doubtful of the constitutionality of the proposed legislation, the only instrumentality that could convince him to the contrary, would be the Supreme Court of the United States. Neither of these books will prove entirely satisfactory to colored readers but because they are by Southern white writers who have broken entirely from the old traditional school of Southern fiction and have striven to present the truth about race conditions in the South, they are important enough to be widely read by colored people. THE WHITE WOMEN OF TEXAS SPEAK. THE AGE carried on its front page last week a news story of the greatest significance. It came out of Dallas, Texas, and gave an account of the meeting of the women's section of the Texas State Committee on Inter-racial Cooperation. On this committee were a number of the most prominent white women of Texas, and out of the meeting came an address to the public which was clear, honest and brave. This address recognized the deplorable conditions which have existed in the South for the past fifty years and expressed the realization that the South "can never reach its highest destiny while any part of its people are ignorant, underfed and inefficient." The address carried a strong condemnation of lynching and stated emphatically that there was no justification for it. "no matter what the crime." Eminent legal authorities outside of the court of last resort have pronounced favorably in behalf of the constitutionality of the anti-lynching legislation. Probably equally eminent legal authorities might be cited on the other side of the question. Where lawyers disagree, it is for the courts to decide. The only way to secure such a decision is for the Senate to pass the bill, and then let its constitutionality be decided by the Supreme Court. This Ace, like other supporters of the measure, believes that the Dyer bill is constitutional, but how is anyone going to prove this to the satisfaction of Senator Borah, without a hearing before the Supreme Court? But to my mind the most fundamental thought in the whole address was the following: We think that Senator Boris has made a condition for his support of the measure impossible of fulfillment. "We therefore are resolved that the Negro should have a hearing in his own behalf, and further resolve that you shall not be content simply with living kindly dispensed on the race, but that your good will shall reach to the effort to secure for its members justice in all things and opportunities for living the best life. We desire for the Negro as for all men, personal and racial justice in private life, and in the courts of the land." A Sparks Caroling religious weekly printed its readers to plant a little corn and much grain. The necessity for a diversification of crops, so that the planer may not depress on the soil of cotton plants, has become apparent as more farmers who lack spared. Every farmer should provide additional preparation and So often white people have made the mistakes of contemptuing hardness and condemnation with fairness and justice. The most of the more insulted to hurt that, however they are mighty, insults the people who have suffered the most. This address issued by the white women of Texas, preceded as it has been by similar addresses issued by the white women of Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama, brings to mind the thought that perhaps after all it will be the white women of the South who will prove more radical and more courageous on the race problem than the men. It may now be observed as a fact that on that phase of the race problem which is taboo above all others white women are more radical than white men; that is, in cases where members of the opposite races are in love white women have shown less fear of following the matter out to the conclusion of marriage thau have white men. DIPLOMATIC PREPAREDNESS. At the Disarmament Conference in Washington the best all round prepared delegation was the Japanese and that preparation consisted largely in its linguistic abilities. The diplomatic game is largely one of the ability to talk well and to understand not only all that is said but all that is meant. In this the Japanese were preeminent. In addition to their own language they spoke and understood English, French, Italian and Chinese. This undoubtedly had much to do with Japan's great diplomatic successes at the Conference. Now comes word that the Russians are the best prepared delegates linguistically at the Genoa Conference. George Teitcherin, the head of the delegation, speaks three languages fluently. Two other members of the delegation are said to speak English flawlessly. It is admitted that this gives the Russians an immense advantage over their colleagues in committees and on the Conference floor, as the latter are compelled to rely on interpreters. It will be interesting to watch and see if Russia can score at Genoa a similar diplomatic success to the one which Japan scored at Washington. RESURGENCE OF THE NEGRO IN LITERATURE A half dozen years ago it was next to impossible to get anything at all published about the Negro. Neither newspapers nor magazines nor book publishers cared, for the Negro as a subject. Of course, there always has been in newspapers current news of Negro crimes; etc., but we are speaking of the Negro as a subject for discussion pro and con. The last twelve months has witnessed a resurgence of the Negro in literature and collaterally on the stage. All of this indicates a stirring which has been going on in the subconscious mind of the public ever since the War and is now working out consciously. The "coine back" of the Negro to the New York stage is a sure indication of this. Within the last five years there have been five plays with colored actors produced on Broadway. (It may be necessary to say to those not familiar with New York City that "Broadway" means the first class theatres devoted to dramatic and musical productions in the theatrical district of the Borough of Manhattan). Three of these were serious plays and two were musical comedies. Of the serious plays one, "The Emperor Jones," was one of the outstanding theatrical successes of the season, and of the musical plays one, "Shuffle Along," is one of the greatest musical hits that New York has ever known. It has been running for a solid year in the same theatre. This revival is merely a more obvious demonstration of what is going on in books. The last twelve months have seen the great publishing houses of New York turn out a half dozen important books by or about Negroes. This marks a great change when we consider that only a few years ago none of the leading publishers in New York were in the least interested in anything touching upon the Negro. Publishers of books have changed because they have sensed and realized the fact that there is a reading and purchasing public for the kind of book about the Negro now being published. I believe that this reading and publishing public has been greatly increased by the colored people themselves. The fact that for so many years colored people were not book buyers is one of the chief reasons why so few good books about the Negro were published, and even now the number of colored people who regularly buy books is infinitesimally small. If there were twenty thousand, or even ten thousand, colored people in the United States who could be depended upon to purchase worth while books about the Negro, any publisher in the country would be glad to publish such books. IGNORANCE IN THE VAN. A recent experience encountered in the course of railroad travel in the South emphasized the fact that one of the chief drawbacks to Negro progress is the fact of defective leadership. On the trip from Selma to Atlanta, the car set aside for colored passengers contained some forty or more illiterate preachers. Their loud conversation and bizarre conduct advertised their gross ignorance and lack of ordinary refinement. And yet these vulgar and ignorant men are sent from one rural charge to another to preach the gospel of righteous living and furnish an example of godly life to their congregations. So long as men of this class, desistitute of either the desire or the ability, lead their flocks to higher planes of living, are licensed to practice their ignorance on helpless congregations, so long will the masses of the people remain incapable of better things. All educated and moral ministry is needed to help the people to gue out of ignorance and to give them the enlightenment of true religion, purge and undefiled. The people may be backward, but they realize their deficiencies and are begging for enlightenment. They are ready to receive the teachings of the gospel interpreted in terms of everyday application. This resurgence of the Negro in literature is remarkable not so much because books about the Negro are again being published but because the books are so different. This difference is strikingly illustrated in two novels, both written by Southern white men, one of them "Birthright" (Century Company), and the other "White and Black" (Harcourt, Brace and Company). On some of the farms, far from the cities, some of these people live with the utmost satisfaction with their present conditions. Their ignorance of better things to aspire to leaves them with no complaints to make of the present and no hopes for the future. They exist in a state of vegetation and stagnation until aroused by some influence from the outside, which may open to them a wider vision of their relation to life and eternity. The need for our schools and colleges to turn out fit leaders for the race in the ministry, the educational field and other professional lines, is still very great. AMERICAN HUMOR The peculiar essence of American humor is that nothing is sacred from its withering touch, the attributes of the Deity, the sanctity of human life all go to furnish food for the laughter of a thoughtless people, unmindful of what sentiments of humanity are violated by such rough usage. An example of this ruthless quality of American humor was given on what purports to be "the best page of comics in New York," published by one of the evening newspapers. Under the department heading of "Stray-Bits of Humor Blown in From Here and There," appeared the following, credited to Judge: A Southern mountainer had come down to the crossroads grocery store to do some shopping. The grocer, an invertebrate gossip and the natural news disseminator of the neighborhood, was asking for news. "Nothing happened up on him may lately," the customer, replied "No weddin's her funnals" "No" "No sick folks or new babies?" "Nuthin's happened." "No news at all. I reckon," the governor perished. "Nuthin' to mention, 'cept you all know Ez Clark.' "Reckon I do, he's kh to my wife's folks. What's Ex gone and dome?" "Oh, nuthin'—only las' week he shot a nigger that weighed over 300 pounds."—/sdpr. Now, unless the humor was comprised in the caption of "Big Game", which was given to this story, it is hard to see where the appeal to the riskships points. Even this would be the cheapest kind of humor, based on such a single occurrence. The story is realiz a serious treatment of the Southern governor as a murderous savage, staying without season or remorse. It is the powerful sense of humor that makes so great sense for growth from childhood and laughter. According to the California Easier the color line is again to the forefront at Santa Monica, in an effort to thwart the colored citizens who have invested in a project to build a bath house, and pleasure resort on the ocean front. It says: The City Council of Santa Monica has created a special zone and made such restrictions and imposed such conditions as to make it impossible for this company to conduct their property as they had planned for the purpose of making revenue on their investment. The cloven hoof of the present administration has been exposed to the extent that they have passed special legislation in order to stifle and make it impossible for this property to function as any port of a report on the ocean front. The colored people of Santa Monica, Los Angeles and all surrounding territory are much aroused at this attitude taken by the City of Santa Monica and they will not submit to it without making vigorous objection and fighting for their property rights to the last ditch. The mayor of the city is denounced as an ingrate for encouraging dance houses and all night dances, while striving to block real constructive effort for improvement on the part of the Negro. This is a case where the race should use its voting power against obstructionists, regardless of party. --- We learn from the Minnesota Mercenger, published at Minneapolis, that such diverse elements as organized labor and a ministerial federation have vowed for the passage of the Dyer bill. The Mercenger tells of this action as follows: Through the efforts of Mr. Alfred Moore, the Trades and Labor Assembly, of which he is a member, approval of the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and on record in writing to our Congressmen and Senators to vote for its passage. Mr. Moore is the representative Negro among the Labor officials. He recently organized the Colored Culinary Workers, composed of the restaurant, dining car and hotel employees. The Minnesota政协 of Ministers, representing eight denominations and 50,000 communicants, met at Bethlehem Presbyterian Church and adopted a resolution offered by Rev. D. M. Jordan, requesting the Senate to pass the Dyer Anti-lynching Bill. All progressive elements of American civilization should urge the adoption of anti-lynching legislation, in order to redeem this country from the blight of mob murder unrestrained. --- The Red Bank Echo in its local news column, noted the following exhibition of enterprise and industry on the part of two soldiers, who served in the World War: Fred King of Ashbury Park and Lorry W. Rock of Beach Street. Red Bank, have a contract to install electric lights and telephone system in the Majestic Hotel. (white) Ashbury Park. The hotel has fifty rooms; each will have a private telephone and bell system. They expect to complete the work by the middle of May. King and Rock are both ex-soldiers, having served overseas with the 407th Pioneer Infantry for nearly a year. While stationed at Bourn south of Marseille, in a government military base in France, Rock had charge of all the electric and telephone lines and power plant in that large government camp, with the help of King. Both are good electricians. This is the sort of spirit that counts for more than any soldiers bonus hill can give. These young men, evidently alert and able-bodied, have utilized their experience gained in the army to serve in civil life. The modern way of serving records into sickles and cannon into ploughhares. With the injunction "Let us be more old woman," as a headline, the Honourable Olivera indicates the approval of a broad base for city improvements approaching to $1,500,000. It constituted which is proven by the amount to be voted on. Let us hope that they will be ful in reducing the gas and rates that we may be better to meet this necessary tax. The Observer has all along that all bond issues should be for a bigger Houston. On a local issue of this month the Negro voter is a welcome and his vote is usually for the items demanded. As the Negro stands in the greatest need of provements, such as powers, street lighting and lighting, he is anxious extension of these facilities. Observer is pursuing the correct The Blue Grass Torchlight, placed at Lexington, Ky., made an plea for the neglected child, which it said. We give more attention to the raising, pig growing and child lodges than we devote to training a child. Of many of our boys and it may be truthfully said they growed." Can we hope to make generation of many men and women under these conditions many of our children grow street. They are not trained they know nothing of a well-trained home life; they loaf and associate the shiftless and immoral. We are careless and indifferent to train in habits of industry and honesty, we start them out in the world they capped for all their lives. If the anything more than another for the parent, the teacher and the must give an account, it is the needed child. There is considerable justification for this charge of general neglect, which is often manifested in the conduct of children thus neglected. Despite rare movements which strive to for parental neglect, there is still need for the guiding influence and moral restraints of proper home training. "GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY" Brief "Brief" for the Male in "Civic Virtue" and other Arts. Editor of Turt New York, An- Frederick McMennies, plastic art has made for New York City Hall a a statuary group called "Civic Virtue" representing the figure of a young man with his head up, rushing on to see some unseen glory, and spurning with his steps the "virens" who seek to ensure his heart and feet and stay in progress. These @virens are jealous they always have been since Olden- Siren is just the classical name for "harry." Now, Gentlemen of the Jury, some women of our city protest against the city's acceptance of this work of art because it shows virtue as a male and temptations as females. We agree with these women that virtue is not always masculine nor temptation always tempting—but for a few minutes we be told to turn this rule end-for-end, since a true rule should measure just as being way as the other, and enter our project in behalf of the much-landed man who suffers in the whole realm of imaginative and artistic conception. Gentlemen we have seen many scenes and paintings of Truth of Beard Love of Hope, of Faith, of Constitution of Justice, and they are all female. It would seem that these virtues cannot be masculine. Even the "Nine Muses" are all men, and it seems that the only man that ever had a look on them was one clip-wearing and semi-faced yellow called Apollo. The "Gracees" are wounded, and even the "Fates." The seasons are female, and all the greater products of human existence the stamship, the airplane, even the locomotive. The Nation self—the spirit of Columbia—the State of Liberty is "she." Now, on the other hand, the Day is "he." The Guardian Angel and Rescaping Fairy are females—but the Book-Man and the Burgee are males. Therefore, Gentlemen of the Jurry in the name of the female Truth and the (male) People, we protest that traitors and many muscles have not had their proportionate share of the homage Art, nor their due recognition in national ideals; and we demand in the name of the female Justice and the male clients, that a frock-coat suit silk hat and a set of whiskers be prototype for a new and rival style of Liberty, that all the machines and other inventions of mankind be put the common gender, and that four "Nine Muses" be given male name figures, so that, with Apollo throw his circle may be more nearly fifty."

It can never be told, that is, good work that a great paper does for the people. The New York, the dashing big weekly with its colour full of wholesome and instructive of our beloved country and the way doing a work, perhaps, of whitin edition, ignores the New York, is the paper keeping readers with the times, and at the same time arousing the race consciousness greater service and usefulness, but paper is arousing those who can't learn to read and quickly. In the past ten months five people who could not read before, have presidently at night, that they might able to read The Age. That they have been accomplished and today the stress are full of joy and delight their success at being able to read Ago to their satisfaction.

DEACON JOHNSON'S MUSICIANS A CLEARING BOOK OF MUSIC FROM ORCHARD DEACON JOHNSON'S MUSICIANS today, evening, April 18th, announced as the first of a series to be given under auspices at Ramay's Musical and Social (7-6) West 131st street was Mark's Hall, 57 West 138th Parker, Ramay, basso, grad. half School of Music, Louis student and principal of this and he was one of the so-called occasion. In addition there Mrs. Looh Felton, pianist; Andrews Zackery, soprano; Shand, violinist, and Mrs. Tyson, mezzo soprano. An arrangement of the program chance remarks over the evening, Mrs. Tyson, Professor Ramay's pupils, was being her debut as a recital without no formal statement to be made public. Whether, ever, this was the case, certain remains that Mrs. Tyson not yet ripe enough to enrol make a serious claim to recite a concert artist. What this needs, as a complement to the personal charm, which she possesses, is an intensive course using tone production coupled development of breath control making ability with special atten- tion to clarity of fenunciation. She sang two programmed num- bilities's "Waiting" and "D'Harde- rence." In response to a genuose demand, she sang Burleigh's as an added number. She received of gorgeous and beautiful airs are always obvious, yet must upon an audience they can cooked. And this was the case realized—it was impossible not to impairing art of Mrs. Zack, who was unfortunately given a place on the program. It is to her amiability that she did make a temperamental exhibition, sensibly and charmingly accepted tion and proceeded to sing her into the hearts of her audience. She deserves each of her New appearances. Cadman's "Call me more," sung with sympathetic power, and the audience and brought the star out for several shows, but the effect of a bad cold kept her from granting an encore. Belf. Aqua's "Village," however, song with incomparable purity, beauty and warmth of tone, in which the coloratura passages were given with an exquisite golden plow, brought such a salty, of applause that crepted hows did not avail, and finally the lady responded with that little bit. "Loves on the big road," Professor Ramsay contributed two nuttles to the regular program "The Gallant 'Salamander' by Bernard, and "Kiri tu, the macchiari" from the Verdi opera, "Ballo in Maschara." I have not always agreed with this singer's idea of putting himself before the public as "the world's greatest bassist," but the most caring critic must acknowledge that he is a singer of tremendous proportions. In fact, his principal fault, to my mind, is this tremendousness. For sometimes, and this was especially noticeable in certain passages of the Verdi aria, his tones overflow. Just as sometimes when one is drawing a glass of water an indiscreet turning of the taucc results in a sudden gush of water that splashes over the confines of the receptacle, so sometimes Mr. Ramayana's opulent voice overcomes his restraining power and overtones follow as a natural result. Aside from this purely technical lapse, his singing afforded delight and pleasure. And when as an encore to "Eri tu che" he gave that stirring old song, "Give a man a horse he can ride," the audience found its cup overflowing and the basso was compelled to repeat the last stanza of the encore song. His work on this occasion entitles him to rank as an artist of the first class. Miss Felton, the pianist, playing Lasson's "Crescendo," achieved no particular distinction, but pleased the sympathetic audience and responded with a second number. The violinist, Mr. De Shand, was entirely and altogether out of his class and had no title to a place on the program. Following the musical program, a short sketch, "The Bacheker's Baby," was given by W. Francis, R. Jones, Misses E. Berry and E. Rock; and an unnailed girl, and this was followed by an enjoyable dance to music furnished by the Clover Leaf orchestra. The WOMEN'S MJNSTRELS. THE WOMEN'S MINSTRELS Curiosity and interest are being exhibited to an unusual degree over the coming of the Chicago Women's Amateur Minstrels to the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, on Monday night, April 24th, under direction of Mrs. E. R. Horne of Brooklyn and in interest of the Brooklyn Urban League and its activities. Anticipations are increased by the fact that a group of some fifty of the prettiest girls and matrons of Greater New York make up the chorus that will support the efforts put forth by the company of twenty-five principals who come from the Windy City. Mrs. Effe Stannard Smith is training the local chorus. Indications are that the Academy opera house will be taxed to its capacity. J.YNCHBURG. VA. Lytechburg, Va.-Miss Eva B.

Address: So many james we allow the thing to pass until tomorrow that we should do today PROCRASTINATION is the greatest crime committed against the human race. DOUBT and FEAR are its twin sisters. Slowly but surely we are forming the habit of Procrastinating, of Doubting, of Fear, of Lord Bacon said, "Habit is the great maxim of mankind that rules in all of his actions." "I INTEND to take out Life Insurance," you say that, and a really mean to do so. Good intentions are good, but they are thoughts. They have never provided a roof over a widow's head provided bread, food, clothes, or an education for orphan children. THOUGHTS put into action always result into something. Put them off is to form the habit of procrastination which will eventually gain the mastery and rule you like the Czar that it is. HENRY E. BRYANT, Contractor and Builder, 132 Chestnut Street, was a man who, after consideration, put his thoughts into action. He realized his value to his fellowman and to his family. He wanted his income to continue to his family and community for at least a few years, in the event he should meet an untimely death. A man of exemplary-habits and in perfect health, death was the furthest thought from his mind. It was in this frame of mind that A STANDARD LIFE AGENT FOUND HIM and suggested Life Insurance as a sure means of continuing this income. The suggestion was the father of the thought. Did Bryant procrastinate? No, he acted. The Medical Examination was made immediately following the application. "Perfect risk," announced the examiner. Five Thousand Dollar Policy approved by the Medical Board, issued and delivered on November 7th. ONLY TEN DAYS passed between the issuance of that policy and November 17th. Walking out of this beautiful home on Chestnut Street to the West Hunter Street car line—a street car, a careless motorman and Henry E. Bryant—in the twinkling of an eye—met an accidental death. LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES PAY PROMPTLY. An Official of Standard Life looked after the funeral arrangements. The entire expenses were paid out of the Five Thousand Dollar Standard Life Check. His family is living under the same high standard he established during his life time. YOU CAN STAND before the Bar of Your Own Conscience—the highest Tribunal on earth—and plead Not Guilty of the crime of procrastination, if you will do what Henry E. Bryant did. Do it by calling a Standard Life Agent not tomorrow, but TODAY. YOU can have soft, silky hair that can be easily dressed. EXELENTO has made happy thousands of women who had coarse, mappy hair. It will do the same for you. If your hair is brittle and lifeless or if you have dandruff and itching scalp, try a box of EXELENTO QUENNE POMADE. P Says her hair has grown 28 inches long by using this wonderful hair grower Like Bert, Williams stood before them, and was widely accepted as an icon, but Mr. Williams was a world and finished actor beneath the face that was his biography. winter when the advantage of belonging to him which we more or less imitate we put on burned cook. He knew natural attitude of his own race his humorous reaction to every situation he had the ability to stand off intentionally analyze the attributes of his race. As a natural black face when he was far superior to any of us we put on burned cook. being as an actor Williams was far more than this. Those who have followed his work in detail will agree with that very frequently during moments that scenes Williams dipped into the great realms of the fundamental art of acting and gave us emotion or comedy which was as universal in its appeal as the very writings of Shakespeare himself. Born Williams had a natural aptitude for acting which was born with him and, which he cultivated industriously during all the years of his career, but he also had a great affection for human nature. So his analysis of his fellow man was never cold and consequently his reproduction of it in acting was human and compelling. If Bert Williams were alive and were william, there is no one with whom I would rather share my scenes in 'Make it Smarty' than with him. When I am drawn all my thoughts are more or less registered in history. So I take advantage of each little chance happening and chance thought and use it in my work. In other words, I try to be spontaneous and whenever inspiration comes to me, even in the midst of a scene, I act upon it. I played for three years with Bert Williams. Williams was the same way and we frequently improvised many scenes on the spur of the moment which we retained in subsequent performances. It spite of this fact Williams, although he constantly improvised, always red me. He caught the drift instantly of what I was attempting to do and played up to me in such a way as to allow me to dominate the scenes which I was conceiving. This is a great attribute in both an actor and a man. The group of Broadway is filled with tales of actors who steal another's scenes and boast of it. Williams gave me unhesitatingly what belonged to me just as I in turn felt him for the scenes which he himself conceived while we were acting. "J. I. Shubert, while we were speaking of Bert Williams, the other day, made a phrase which I heartily endorse of Williams, both as an actor and a man. "Bert Williams was one of the whitest actors I have ever known," said Mr. Shubert, who had known him for many years. "And that is exactly what Bert Williams was. "Williams had a splendid regard for every little feeling or emotion of this fellow man. He loved humor and even practical jokes to an extent, but when he knew that a practical joke was about to be played he always took good care that it did not go too far. A very good illustration of this occurred when Bert Williams and I were playing Buffalo together several years ago. "We were invited to take dinner together at the home of a mutual friend. And when we sat down at a table I found that the principal dish was pork thighs. I never eat pork. Every one laughed at me, and I asked if they could cook me some eggs. There were no eggs, and it so began to look as though I would go without my dinner. "After a time the laughter died down somewhat and Bert Williams turned toward the company at table, in his great way and asked: "Have all of you boys had 'all the girls with poor Eddie that you want to?' Every one thought he had and then Williams turned to a servant: "Mary go out in the hall and bring in the package you will find in my innocket pocket." he said. my returned in a few moments strike which Bert Williams had for me without saying a word one, knowing of the joke my were going to play on me. was Bert Williams all over. grew fun and practical jokes but want anyone to go hungry be- ful. No one else who knew who took part in it had ful, as affectionate and ful as Williams. he act stamped him forever in as that splendid thing a true CINEMATICAL JOTTINGS BY ROB BLOYER Broad & Free are at Keith's Palace and New York City.

RELIEF FUND Recent business depression and a consequent unemployment problem combined to make a heavy drain upon the relief fund the C. V. B. A. maintained for the relief of members' families in time of necessity, and so arrangements and being perfected for the holding of a mamoth midnight benefit performance at Lincoln, Theatre, West 15th street, on Saturday night, April 22nd, for the purpose of strengthening this fund. The advanced response has been most encouraging. Mrs. Marie Downs, owner of the Lincoln, has donated the use of the theatre, without charge, and the leading lights of the vaudeville world have volunteered their services for this occasion. It is no exaggeration to say that the vaudeville bill will present the most unusual array of stage celebrities ever seen on a Harlem stage. George M. Cohan, manager, producer, actor, has personally given his assurance that he will be present and sing a number. Several of the strongest acts on the Keith circuit will be sent to this benefit by personal direction of E. F. Albez, president of the Keith Theatre Circuit. Every colored performer of the first rank, now in New York and vicinity, available, but this performance, has given notice of intention to be present and help make this a notable occasion. "Bob" Slater, manager of the C. V. B. A., is arranging a unique "thick" parade for Saturday afternoon, featuring a "rude" band, with some of the best of the race comedians performing for the delectation of the onlookers. While Jack Dempsey is touring Europe, those in this country who are opposing a fight between Dempsey and Wills, have been grooming Bill Tate for another bout with the colored contender, with the hope that Wills will be defeated. They argue that since Tate made such a good showing against Wills in their last bout, he is entitled to a return match. Tate, who stands 6 feet 6 inches in height, and weighing 220 pounds, was 7'4" former starring partner for company. He possesses more physical qualifications for the championship than any other heavyweight fighter in the world, but is paid to have 50 confidence in his ability since he was appering partner for Dempsey. The proposed best between Wills and Tate, which will be their third marriage, will probably be held in New York or New Jersey early this summer. THE acquisition of several new players by the Lincoln Giants has opened them to be considered the strongest team in non-professional baseball circles for the coming season. The pitching staff of the team has been strengthened by Treadwell and Tum Williams, formerly of the American Giants of Cincinnati, and the only weak spot in the infield, plot-of shortstop, in brawl filled by Perry, who gives promise of becoming one of the strongest in the game. The other positions on the team will be filled by the same man who held them last season. The team lineup for the season is as follows: Poles, lf; Perry, as; Thomas, c; Wiley, c; Singer, 20; Johnson, 1b; Gan, rf; Fail, 1b; Pierce, c; Gatewood, c; Joe Williams, Tom Williams, F. Wiley and Treadwell, pitchers, Thomas, the leading batter of the team, is the captain, and the veteran pitcher, Joe Williams, is the manager. Six games have already been played this season by the Giants; but in only one of these games have they had an opposing team in their class. On Sunday, April 16th, the Perkallkine nine and the Bridebury, Pa., teams were overwhelmingly defeated. A double heeler will be played each Sunday at the Catholic Protection Oval, East 177th street, the Bronx, by the Lincoln Giants against the best available semi-professional teams. TALLADEGA WINS TWO GAMES. FROM TUSKEEGE (Special to The New York Age). Talladega, Ala. — Trigonee Institute baseball team was overwhelmingly defeated here on Thursday and Friday, April 13th and 14th, by Talladega's fast nine. On Thursday the game was so one-sided that Talladega used her substitute pitchers and shut out Tuskegee by a score of 14-0. The score of Friday's game was 9-3. Coach Bragg declares that Talladega has the best team she has had in a number of years, and will probably become the Southern champions this season. Morris Brown College of Atlanta was played at Talladega on Thursday and Friday, April 20th and 21st. UNION BEATS LINCOLN IN ITS OPENING GAME Richmond, Va.—Virginia Union University opened its baseball season here on Saturday, April 8th, by defeating Lincoln University, 3 to 2. The game was hard fought from start to finish, and the outcome was uncertain until the end, although Union led from the start. Lincoln started at the bat and for seven innings fanned away at the pitil, which Merritt of Union coolly felt them, with little effect. Hubbard succeeded in getting a three hit, and anxiously watched those who followed him at bat, but to no avail. Johnson of Lincoln also kept a cool head and had good control in the boxbut the Red and Steel boys connected with the ball in the fourth inning, when Gregory met it as it was beginning to change its course and made a three base hit over second. Allen Jackson then sent a sacrifice fly to center field, and this brought the first run of the game. In the fifth inning Hucles made the same connection with the ball that Gregory had made in the preceding inning, a three base hit resulting. He was sent home by Green. Union's third run was made in the seventh inning by Hucles after a wild throw by Lincoln's shortstop. WALDEN TAKES FIRST GAME FROM FISK TEAM Nashville. Tenn.-In the opening game of the season, the baseball team representing Walden University easily took the measure of the team from Fisk University on Saturday afternoon, April 8th, score 7 to 2. Glen Thomas. Young, in the box for Walden, allowed only five hits and tanned seven men. Center fielder Watson featured both at bat and in the field, with two hits, two runs, and a sensational one-handed catch, for the last out in the ninth. M. Young started to pitch for Fisk, and the first inning was a curious one. He struck out three men, but Walden cumbered him for three hits and three runs, and this proved enough to win the game. Gibson relieved bird in the second, and the Waldenites worked on him to the extent of seven-hits in seven innings, gathering in four unnecessary runs in the meanwhile. Long is captain for Walden, and Gibson for Fisk. The teams line up as follows: WALDEN—J. Young, 3b; Hinton, 2b; Long, as; Warson, c; C. Young, beaty, c; Woodson, rf; Payne, 1b; Derry, H.

F. Lawn, 26 West 132nd Street, Telephone Harlem 5449 One of the most remarkable men alive today from a scientific standpoint to Mexican Joe Lawson, a prizefighter, 26 years of age, of 200 West 133rd street. Lawson was born with his heart on the right side of his body, and is now being eagerly sought by medical men who want to study his heart action. Strange to say, Lawson never realized his abnormal condition, and during the two years he served in the army at Camp Dix, the army officials never discovered this fact. This discovery was made recently by Dr. Frank C. Caffey, who has trained some of the leading fighters of the race and who is nationally known as a physical doctor. Dr. Caffey immediately realized that Lawson is a break in this particular, and engaged him as sparking partner for Kid Norfolk, the coloured light heavyweight champion, who is now doing an act in vaudeville theatres throughout the country. They have recently given performances at the Douglas Theatre in Washington and at the Lincoln Theatre in Baltimore. While in Baltimore, he was examined by a group of physicians from the Johns Hopkins University, who declared that he was probably the only man alive in this condition, and although his heart is on the opposite side of the body from where it should be, his action is almost perfect. An engagement has been made for an exhibition before the Medical Department of Magill University of Canada, and doctors in all parts of the country have expressed interest in this case. Lawson was born in Southern California, and began a graduate career several years ago. He has met some of the best colored heavyweights, and recently toured England as the sparring partner of Fred Fulkow, under the management of Tom O'Rourke, Deputy Bossing Commissioner. He is married and has lived in Hartem for five years. "Gumbo" Feast at C. V. B. A. The rooms of the C. V. B. A. 424 Lemons avenue, presented a gala appearance Saturday evening.

The teams will be composed of eleven men who are to compete in five different events. Last year the Varsity Relay team was successful in winning the event in which it was entered. This year Howard has been entered in a faster class by the authorities In charge of the Penn Meet and will be competing against such schools as the University of Pittsburgh, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Notre Dame, Boston College, and a number of other colleges in that class. The coaches at Howard coilate that they must put forth every effort to have the men in thorough conditions for the entrées. The Freshman Relay Team to be entered in the Meet is doing exceptional work and at the time being made by the team compares favorably with that of the Varsity Team. Howard is also entering a man in the Hammer throw, the Javelin and Disc throw. This man has remarkable ability in there three events and it is expected that he will win at least one the ball exerts and place in each of these the ball with the hammer is also the ball as thunder and 150 feet the ball as jersey and 140 feet for the Dream THE ACTIONS AT THE ROSEVELT THEATRE 19th Avenue Ovr. 146th Street WHERE ALL THE BIG FILM PRODUCTIONS ARE SHOWN THESDAY - FRIDAY APRIL 20-21 THE WONDERFUL 'KID' Jackie Coogan in 'TY BOT' The original boy play ever told.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Opinion among the visitors to the gedent unvigilance of the Booker T. Washington Memorial at Tuskegee Institute was a group of Dr. Washington's friends, members of the "Old Guard" who were pledged to serve upon an Honorary Unvigilance Committee. In commenting upon the unvigilance exercises Hon. William G. Wilkos, New York City, Chairman of the Board of trustees of the Institute said: "To my mind nothing was more encouraging than to see that saluted Honorary Unvigilance Committee of the Booker T. Washington Memorial, that committee of about one hundred colored citizens of the country, whom Dr. Moor had invited to act as the Honorary Unvigilance Committee, I looked and looked at their faces, the strong, intignant, forceful faces of those men and I thought I had never seen before to cause me to feel encouraged about the Nero race. "I have never had any doubt in my own mind that the students at Tuskegee Institute were going to make good use of the opportunities and advantages offered here, but it is one thing to feel that individuals would make good and in another thing to see such a fine group of men who already have made good; who already have won distinction in their different lines of work and I think if anyone had any question about the capabilities of the Negro race, that a copy of their document should reassure the committee, should reassure the most doubtful." The committee was composed of the following: following: C. W. Allen, Dr. E. T. Belaw, Dr. J. W. Darden, W. J. Edwards, Dr. U. G. Mason, Dr. A. F. Owens, James T. Peterson, V. H. Tulane, A. J. Wibord, and R. B. Hudson of Alabamac. C. E. LINCOLN CLAIMS THE BASKETBALL CROWN 'By J. L. K. Wells). Chester, Pa.—The 1922 Lincoln: basketball squad is the 1922 Lincoln has had since the days of Young, who is now captain of Loendi of Pittsburgh. Of the twelve games played nine were won. None were list to college opponents. The average weight of the team was about 150 pounds. From a study of the records of the southern quintets, the direct encounter with eastern teams, and by personal observation of the Wilberforce four during its eastern tour, the writer is convinced that the Quaker State lads at Lincoln have the best balanced team in various circles. Captain Marcus F. Wheatland, one of the best field-goalers today, and Massey Woods, the belwark of the New Jersey high school champions of last year, wrote the stars of the leader, the peers of Tompkins, B. Hamor and McLean will be difficult to find. In addition to the college games, Lincoln won from Baltimore "Y"; Newport News, Va.; the Leal Club of Roanoke, Va.; Vandals of Atlantic City; the Athenians of Baltimore; the DeRuyter Club of Wilmington, Del.; and the Delta Five, a fraternity team of Howard University. Much credit is due to W. G. Joner, manager. The varsity line-up for 1922 was Woods, B. Hamer, Wheatland, (captain), Tompkins, D. McLean. FOOTBALL PLAYERS GEE LETTERS AT INSTITUTE Institute, W.

Bruce and Byrd Prillerman of West Virginia. ery, Aubrey Harris and Alexander Washington, manager. Coach George D. Brock made a brief address, in which he commended the men for work of the past season and urged them to prepare for even better work for the coming year. William George Moore, of Ronceverte, W. Va., was elected captain of the "Yellowjackets" for the ensuing year. Moore, who has played at either guard or tackle on the football squad for three years, has always been an inspiration to the rest of the team by his unifying work and his ever-increasing reliability. Believing that the game, rather than the winning of the game, is the important thing in all athletics, Moore is and has always been an exponent of clean and manly sport. He is a member of the class of 25. In addition to the usual games against Simmons University, Kentucky State Normal, and Winerforce University, Institute will play both Union Theological Seminary and Lincoln University next year. LINCOLN UNIVERSITY TEAM OPENS SEASON Lincoln University, Pa.—On Friday, April 7th, the baseball squad, numbering thirteen players, left here on Friday, April 7th, for an extensive our through the South.

TALLADEGA SPLITS 2 (Special to The New York Age). Atlanta, Ga.—In the first series of the 1922 season, Talladega baseball team broke even with Morris Brown, on the latter's campus, two games being played. On Thursday, April 6th, Talladega took the first by a 9 to 0 score, with Lockhart, the Alabama twirler, holding the Georgia boys helpless, only two hits being garnered off his delivery. Tremble was the batting hero for Talladega, getting a home run and a two base hit. Friday's game saw Morris Brown turn the tables, taking their Alabama competitors into camp by the tune of a 6 to 5 score. Harold held the heavy-hitting boys from Talladega to five runs, while his teammates were piling up five runs off, four hits in the first three innings, with Edwards shooting them over. Lockhart relieved his mate in the fourth inning, and the Atlanta boys got to him for another run, just enough to win the game. A number of the Talladegans are Alpha Phi Alpha men, and remained over for the initiation and banquet of the Eta Lambdon chapter on Saturday night, but the others left Friday night for home. Tuskegee played at Talladega on April 13th and 14th. The teams line up as follows: TALLADEGA—Grove, cf: Childs, 3b; Gordon, 2b; Harris rf; Carter, 1b; Tremble, 1f; Nicholas, ss; Spencer, c; Edwards and Lockhart, p. MORRIS BROWN—W.

C.-Bennett College of Greenboro sent her fleet team of sluggers in Biddle's camp on Thursday, March 30th, only to have them go down in defeat at the hands of Coach Leach's "Young Bulls." McCloud was on the mound for the visitors, and he was able to puzzle the "Bulls" for their innings, but easy picking never talt. Mets' he now armed boy from Kings' Mountain, was on duty for the "Bulls," and pitched wonderful ball, especially in the pinches. Byers was the hitting feature for the visitors, getting three safeties in five times up. Pass, the veteran second sacker, showed up well around the keystone sack. "Cat" Brodie was the fielding feature for the "Bulls," as well as leading with the willow. "Bill" Russell, the "Young Bull," who answers in class to the name of William, caused the greatest sensation of the day when he came to bat in the sixth with two men on the paths and pasted a long one down the left field foul line for a round-trip. The score of the game was 6-4 in Biddle's favor. Wanamaker A. C. Wants Games. (Special to The New York Arg.) (Special to The New York Age) Springfield, Mass.—The Wanamaker A. C. baseball nine' one of the best semi-professional baseball teams of Massachusetts, and 25 out of 32 games played last season, is anxious to meet semi-professional teams in New York and vicinity. E. P. Butler of 33 Rheleau court has been elected manager for this season. The following new members have been added to the lineup for this season: Marshall Lotta and J. Turner, Benjamin Huff, Daniel Early and Irving Johnson. Teams wishing to book games with this club may do so by communicating with the manager or Morris Freeman, secretary, of 660 Union street, Springfield, Mass. Orientalts Defeat Yonkers in Last Game (Special to The New York Age). New Rochelle, N. Y.-On Saturday night, April 15th, Yonkers Tigers came to New Rochelle to settle the issue to the championship of Westchester county. They had with them a crowd of rooters who distinguished themselves by their cheerring throughout the game. The first half cigarettes 10¢ Good!

The Orientals were in the lead, mainly through the foul shooting of Garcia. But in the second half the "Speed Merchants" electrified everybody by their password with the results that the home boys scored twenty points while Yonkers only got six. During the game the Orientals scored ten field goals while Yonkers only scored four. Garcia shot eight fouls while the Belt Brown and Thomas could do was five between them. The Orientals easily outplayed their opponent. Yonkers indulged in the favorite excuse of all the Oriental victims, unfair refereeing by Joseph Gant. One wonders if the figures show it. This game marked the final appearance of New Roselle on the court this season. The Orientals record is nine defeats and seventeen victories. GREEK PLAY "ULYSSES" AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE (By Marianne Dott) Hampton Institute, Va.—That the study of things cultural may go hand in hand with things industrial was well demonstrated Saturday evening. April 1st, at 8 o'clock, when members of the Sophoclean Diasmatic Club, a student organization of Hampton Institute, gave an excellent performance of the Greek play "Ulysses" in the magnificent Orden auditorium of the school. Clever hand-made cartoons, done by members of the club, depicting scenes from the play, supplemented by notices in the local papers, had attracted a good sized crowd of visitors, teachers and students, who manifested their pleasure by timely and enthusiastic applause. "Ulysses," as dramatized from "The Odyssey" by Stephen Phillips, is a story full of appealing, and dramatic interest, and one which generously affords many lively and picturesque opportunities for the display of good acting. It must be said that the Sophoclean Players made the most of their chances, throwing themselves into the portrayal of the classic legend with such zeen and spirit that the effects obtained rivalled those of the professional stage. Artistic color schemes and well-designed costumes made each scene a gleight to the eye, but it was the excellent delivery of the lines which made most of the success of the evening. In this connection one should mention the discourse in the hot between Ulysses his son Talemachus, and the faithful swinger, Eumaeus, and the final court scene in which the audacious suitor, Antinous, is denounced by the faithful outen. Penelope. The slaying of the chief suitors, and the expulsion of the others, by the returned hero-husband to the encouraging accompaniment of thunder and lightning of his gods, brought the play to a highly climacteric and satisfactory close. This, coupled with the final tableau of Ulysses and Penelope, clasped as lovers in a most affectionate embrace, pleased the audience immensely. It is noteworthy that costumes and scenery were made by the hands of committees drawn from the membership of the club. The cast: ITALIANS GIVE TEXTS OF DANTE TO HOWARD (Special to The New York Age). Washington, D. C.-The Howard University Library was recently presented with a copy of the complete Latin and Italian works of Dante, issued under auspices of the Italian Dante Society of Italy. It is a volume of nearly one thousand pages on Indian paper. The inscription on the fly leaf of the book reads: "Presented by the Italians of the United States of America on the initiative of Luigi Comovale, Chicago, Illinois, in commemoration of the 600th anniversary of the death of Dante, September 14, 1921." With the opening of the Spring quarter, Howard University has a class in both the college and evening school studying the Divine Comedy of Dante in Italian.

C.-Announcement has been made by the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity of the recent formation of chapters of the organization at the State University of Iowa, Iowa City; the University of California, Berkeley, Calif.; the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, West Virginia; and a new chapter at Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass.

The fraternity will conduct its annual "Go To High School; Go To College" campaign during the week of May 8th to 14th. The national campaign this year will be under the direction of Daniel W. Bowles, St. Louis; Lucins L. McGhee, Oklahoma City; Dr. Homer Cooper, Chicago; William J. Powell, Champaign, Ralph O. Lanier, Lincoln University; Homer S. Brown, Pittsburgh; and Willmoth H. Baker, Wilberforce. Trl-State Debating League (Special to The New York Age). Petersburg, Va.—The Tri-State Debating League has been formed, with South Carolina A. and M. College, Orangeburg, the North Carolina A. and T. College, Greensboro, and the Virginia N. and I. Institute, Petersburg, as members. The first annual debate occurred Friday, April 27th, subject.

(From the New York Globe). We have heard much in recent years of the young American intellectual who is a voluntary expatriate because he finds the civilization of the old, world so much more to his taste than shirt-sleeved, coarse, and pioneering America. In L'Opinion, Paris, a letter was published the other day from one of these young men, who, it must be confessed, is a somewhat unusual specimen. His name is Norval Barksdale, he comes from Kansas City, and he is a Negro. The chief attraction of France for him is the failure to draw the color line. His letter (as translated by the Living Age, Boston) says in part: People of France, pause a moment to hear the words of a young man—an American by birth, but a Negro by race, but a Frenchman by choice. * * * * I am convinced that the colored peoples are to find their salvation in French civilization rather than in German culture—that is to say, the culture of the Gergans, the English, and the Americans. French civilization produced Toussaint L'Ouverture, Alexander Dumas, René Maran, and a host of other French writers and scholars who had colored blood in their veins. Among the Teutonic nations men of colored blood, no matter how gifted and cultivated, encounter nothing but obstacles and discouragements * * * * I regret the Negro of France. He knows true liberty; he knows what it is to live More than one American Negro has found in France the quality of treatment he can never dream to get in the United States. During the war there was grave apprehensions in some quarters left our Negro troops, returning home after being created by the French exactly, as though they were white, should resent violently the American attitude. That these fears proved groundless is due to the good sense of the colored soldiers, and not to any alteration of white America's point of view. It is the fashion to say that Finance treats black men as she does because she has never had to live in close contact with a large colored population. This situation is being modified at least to a degree. France calls to the colors about 250,000 Negro soldiers each year, according to recent reports. The same number are annually released from service, and of these approximately 80,000 remain in France. It will be interesting to see whether, as this process goes on and through the marriage of these soldiers to French women numerous half-breeds appear, the French attitude of tolerance gives way to a feeling more like our own. In that case Mr. Barksdale will have to move on to some other country where members of his race are still rare enough or independent enough to receive courteous treatment. Negro Boxers in National Amalbut Meet. The biggest sensation of the National Amateur Boxing Meet held in Boston on Monday and Tuesday, April 17th and 18th, occurred in the finals of the 175 pound class when Homer Robinson, a colored heavyweight of the Morgan House, Pittsburgh, was knocked out by Charles McKenna of New York. In his two previous bouts, Robinson knocked out Benny Fereyne of the St. Jerome Club and Frank Koech of the National A. C. of this city, and it was expected that he would be the winner in the finals.

Neither of them were successful in reaching the finals, however, which is thought to have been due to the poor training they had received before making the trip. Another representative of St. Christopher club represented New York in the Boston Marathon, held in the city on Wednesday, April 19th. GREENSBORO. N. C Greenboro, N. C.—The chore of the A. and T. College was requested to sing at the first Presbyterian Church of this city (white) on Wednesday evening, April 5th. The chorus, with several other students responded to the request and sang a number of Negro melodies. The impression made upon the gathering was evidently favorable. At the close of a series of melodies which the chorus had sung it was asked to repeat some of the numbers. The chorus was under the leadership of T. B. Jones and Mrs. C. J.
