$5,000,000 LoanTo Liberia Is Passed House Measure Authorizing Financial Relief for West African Republic Adopted Representative Fordney, Mich. In Charge of Enactment Wages Hard and Successful Battle For Passage of Act (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE). Washington, D. C. By a vote of 148 to 139 the House of Representatives, on May 10, passed the Fordney Bill, authorizing the loan by the United States of $5,000,000 to the Negro Republic of Liberia, West Coast of Africa. The loan had received the approval of President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes. A motion to recommit the measure was lost by a vote of 168 to 128. Washington, D. C.—By a v o r s e n t a t i v e s, on May 10, passed loan by the United States of $5, Liberia, West Coast of Africa. proval of President Harding and motion to recommit the measure. Discussion of the loan ran the gamut of politics and reference were made to former President Wilson and his cabinet and the present Administration. Constitutional experts of the House denied there was legal reason for making the loan and stated that the Supreme Court of the United. States did not recognize a moral obligation. Representative Fordney (Mich.) in charge of the measure, after explaining the need for the loan, was heckled by the Democrats. Wilson as a Target "Have you any school teachers in Michigan?" asked Representative Lowrey (Miss.). "None who have received their education in Virginia," responded Mr. Fordney. The veiled allusion to Mr. Wilson caused sound applause. "The gentleman says a school teacher is not much of a man outside of his own job?" inquired Mr. Lowrey. "Not unless he has considerable training in some other line," said Mr. Fordney. "Take him direct from school to the White House and he is a good mist. As a political boss he worked for a while, but he finally stepped himself." "But," persisted Mr. Lowrey, "I understand that in the gentleman's State a school teacher is not much of a man." "Let me say that in that connection in 1920 I made this statement, that the then President was going to change his boarding house on the 4th of March and he did," remarked Mr. Fordney. "I said we would say to him what I have been at the close of a school I attended down in the backwoods: Emmett J. Scott Secretary of B Held Position Since Body Booker Washington 21 Howard University Emmett J. Scott Resigns As Secretary of Business League (Special to The New York Age). Washington, D. C.—In a letter addressed to Dr. Robert R. Moton, president and Bishop R. E. Jones, chairman executive committee, of the National Junior Business League, Emmett J. Barker for twenty-one years the League wrote that he tendered his resignation to the effect at once. Duties and responsibilities entailed upon Mr. Scott as trustee treasurer of Howard University, are given by him as reason for giving up the Business League secretaryship, a position he has since it was founded by the late Lester T. Washington. In Letter Mr. Scott states that "the commanding place that Howard University is now taking in the University is calling for all of my mental physical resources * * * * and I am up home of my present activities. Continuing, he wrote: "In writing my relations as an officer of the Business League, I wish to thank you and through you to the trustee myself, my sincere thanks for the opportunities which have been provided for me to cooperate with one of the most enterprising of our forward men and women." I have given up my thought that the problem outlined at St. Louis in 1909 is a workable one. We have been unable to carry out that program with the mgrate finances of the Business League. It seems to me that it will ultimately be necessary for an organization along business lines to effectively run over this program, and I shall be interested in such a program. SAYS DR. BROOKS HAS RESIGNED PASIONE It is reported on what is believed to be good authority that the Key Dr. William H. Brooks has insured his resignation as pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, West Side street on account of continued ill health. Dr. Brooks has held the pastoress at St. Mark's for more than a century.

Representative Garner (Texas) in attacking the measure asserted that Woodrow Wilson needed no defense of his Administration and that time would demonstrate that he was one of the greatest of Presidents. The Texas member then charged that neither Mr. Wilson nor any other had authority under the Liberty Loan act to set aside $5,000,000 out of the Treasury, as a loan to Liberia. Majority Leader Mondell expressed the view that Mr. Wilson had that rigor, but Mr. Garner said no one who voted for the Liberty Loan act ever contemplated that authority was given to furnish a motion with funds to pay debts it had contracted forty years ago. Questions Hugbe's Veracity. Mr. Garner charged that Mr. Wilson had overstepped his authority in entering into negotiations to make the loan and the sale of the Government knew this was an unlawful action, for that purpose the said amount could be found as to what had occurred, but J. B. Co., the International Bank of New York and the First National Bank of New York made the refunding and furnished money to Liberty in 1912 to the extent of $1,000,000. Representative Mills (N. Y.) challenged Mr. Garner's statement and said Secretary Hughes when before the House Committee on Ways and Means stated that the bankers did not hold the bonds but that they had been sold in Europe to private investors. It Resigns As Business League Was Founded By Late Years Ago—Duties at Given As Reason BROOKLYN LAWYER IS FACING DISBARMENT The Grievance Committee of the Bar Association of Brooklyn has under consideration the matter of revoking the permission given Joshua R. Bennett, formerly of Harrisburg, Pa. to practice law in the Brooklyn courts. It is alleged that Mr. Bennett secured admission to the Brooklyn Bar in January, 1921, on motion of Counselor Summer H. Lark, being vouchered for by Counselor Edmund and two others. It is charged that in making application for admission to the Brooklyn Bar Mr. Bennett did not divulge the fact that he had formerly practiced law in Pennsylvania nor that he had been disbarred by the Harrisburg authorities. It is further alleged that a warrant is now pending in Harrisburg under which Bennett is charged with embezzlement and false pretence, and that he has been tried for rape alleged to have been committed upon the person of Andrew L. Gray's granddaughter. The Brooklyn Grievance Committee held in hearing in the case of May 25, 1921, that gina Bennett was confronted with evidence of the Harrisburg action and it is reported that he acknowledged being the party referred to. The Grievance Committee has the case under advice and is expected to make a report to the Appalachian Division as to its findings in the matter. If it reports adversely, to Bennett his disbarment from practicing law in Brooklyn will be adjudicated. While he is practicing law in New York as Joshua R. Bennett, it is alleged that in Harrisburg he was known as R. Robinson. Bennett. He is charged with having uttered a false alackav in gaining admission so practice before the New York Courts. B. C.

SNEAD INSECURE MAIL BOXES J. F. ADAIR, GR. DIR. NURDERED BY WIFE LEAD TO MAIL LOSSES (From The New York World) Here, where the high-cost-of-living spectre haunts the millions and some millionaires, possession by a penniless man of health, happiness and a home on Riverside Drive, with acres of front lawn, is perhaps an accomplishment without precedent. Yet, for twenty-two years "Uncle Jim" Miller, Manhattan's oldest, if not only real "squatter," has enjoyce these things as a result of: "Just believin' in God." "Uncle Jim" is a Nero who, last February 10, entered upon his seventy-third year, and is to-day smilingly confident that he will live beyond the century mark without the loss of his health or personal life. His alma is that God will take care of any who trust Him, although he does not quitearry this belief to the point of a lily-of-the-field existence, and admits that his health has been and will be maintained by his physical efforts in gathering, cutting and sawing wood for his winter fires, doing his own washing and cooking and otherwise keeping his house in order. Reclaimed Marah Land In 1900, when what is now his front lawn was marshland almost on a level with the Hudson River, "Uncle Jim" was employed by a contractor who was a number of laborers who were to fill in the many lies lying along the Hudson's east bank One of the most interesting fraternal events held in New York was, the complimentary reception tendered to National Grand Director James F. Adair, by the Lodges and Households of Ruth of New York on Wednesday JAMES F. ADAIR Grand Director, G. U. O. O. F. in America. night, May 10th, at Harlem Casino, New York City. There were more than 500 members of the Order present. An appropriate colation was served. The hall was handsomely decorated and the tables arranged to represent the letter "A." The following made speeches, all of which were most complimentary in their tribute to the guest of honor and his work in the Order, and wishing him much success in the high office to which he has recently been elevated: Dr. I. L. Roberts of Boston, deputy master of the Odd Fellows; Ordnance Master Edward H. Murray; Chicago, having sailed for Europe could not be present); Charles W. Anderson, en-Collector Intern, St. Louis; Las Crawford, en-Collector Intern, St. Louis; A. T. UNCLE, JIM MILLER from about 120th street south. He was provided with boards for a little "shack" which he built with its back against a huge boulder. Then he aided in filling in what is now his front yard. When still fully used, he continued to claim as he says, decided to "aquat" there indefinitely. Conway said it was all right with him, and since then various owners of the property have given tacit consent to his remaining. As his lawn is filled-in land, hardly suitable for the foundations of houses, the old "quatter" feels secure in his possession and even has an idea that his long occupancy may have given him a legal right to remain where he is for life. The one-room shack has now been torn apart and the sheets of tin which resist the winter blasts. Within it is a store, some cooking and eating utensils and a cot, but "Uncle Jim" spends most of his time outdoors. From the Hudson he obtains crabs and Counselor Charles Golden, Snead, Jr. of 26 West 135th street, was shot and killed by his common-law wife, Male Jewell Ferry, a white woman, Tuesday night, May 16, about 11 o'clock following an altercation earlier in the evening. The shooting occurred in the kitchen of the apartment, the woman using a .32 calibre automatic. Mr. Snead was forty-two years old, and was born in Augusta, Ga. He attended Haines Institute, Augusta, and graduated in law from Columbia Law School, New York, in 1909. His parents moved North some years ago and made their home in Waterbury, Comm., where his mother died some time ago. During recent months the elder Snead has lived in New York with his son, at the 135th street address, Attorney Snead maintaining his law office at that place, also. The father is not in good health, and was asleep when the tragedy occurred: He knew nothing of it until 9 o'clock Wednesday morning. An only brother, Robert, was accidentally shot and killed while hunting in the country near Angusta, Ga., a number of years ago. Counselor Sneed was a brilliant lawyer, and had been, at one time, a member of the law firm of Wheaton, Curtis & Sneed, which later became Wheaton & Sneed. Of recent years he has practiced alone. Rev. Augustus E. Bowers of Princeton, N. J. Mrs. Charles Hamminson, 124 West 143rd street, and Wm. H. C. D'Antigonix, 117 West 136th street, are relatives. The body is in charge of the undertaking firm of Grumville O. Paria, West 131st street. Interment will be at Waterbury, Comm.

"Never Worried." "When I came here," said "Uncle Jim!" "this was a wilderness. I always liked to rough it, and I never in my life worried about anything. The trouble with men has always been they just don't believe God will take care of them. No. I don't go to church, except out there among the trees, if you could call it that. But I prayed, and I prayed. I felt it was easier was stick a day. I got I I need, and this is the kind of a life I like—so why shouldn't I be thankful? "I don't want any better home than this, and I don't need any more money to live as I do here. I want to be outdoor all the time. At night I read a little by lamplight. I never wore glasses, and lately I think I am getting my second sight—I can see better than I did a short while back. All That's the Matter. "Kill me, someone of smiles, right over anybody. Fact is, I believe great matter would be harmless if men could get so they'd do a little more believe in God and each other—that's all the matter with the world anyhow." "As he talked "Uncle Jim" sat in front of his shack smoking a pipe that appeared to be almost as old as its owner, and quite as strong, and smiling broadly, a perfect outpicturing of his peculiarly serene mental make-up. And somehow, as the reporter and photographer for The World left him after the little interview, there did not seem half so much to discuss as there was so think about regarding "Uncle Jim's" theory and his smiling, confident assertion that any one can obtain health, happiness and a home by—"Just believin' in God." Postoffice officials who are interested in improving the mail service in New York City, and who are interested specially in the Harlem section, declare that one of the main huddles to prompt and satisfactory delivery of mail to the people is to be found in the lack of equipment in the way of mail boxes for the receiving of postal matters. The landlords of the various apartment houses in Harlem are notably negligent in this particular. Because of this laxity on part of owners or lessees, many losses of valuable mail matter have occurred, either through theft or through being misplaced. Tenants of such houses should make a concerted demand upon their landlords to the end that the dilapidated and insure mail boxes should be replaced by receptacles that would make for the security of mail matter against loss of any sort. In the absence of such proper provision, it is suggested that all mail for tenants of a particular house should be delivered to some responsible individual who would be willing to supervise its distribution. and would kill the lawyer if he wasn't paid. The man called at an early hour Monday, and when Counsellor Lavelle endowed to reach an understanding with him, but failed to pay the money, Chambers drew a German Lueger automata and began to fire. Lavelle was struck in the face, and at first it was thought he was finally wounded, but he is now well on the road to recovery. As Chambers was leaving, Policeman Pohardorf met him and was shot in the neck the bullet severing a vital nerve. Paralysis ensued, followed by death. The officer leaves a widow and two children, boys, aged seven and three. He had been, on the force nine years, and the report is that he had lately come into inheritance of some proportions and was planning to resign from the force at an early time. Arranged before Judge Nott in General Session, Chambers pleaded no guilty to first degree murder. The lawyer was acquitted by the school of Emory Bockman, a former Assistant District Attorney, to understand the death of Chambers when he was Cooperation Arpong Negro Business Men A Necessity Pooling of Purchasing Power Would Result in Ability to Adjust Prices With Merchants of Any Class Lack Business Experience Idea of Cooperation Outlined By Harlem Economic Association Has Been Endorsed By Baptist Ministers' Conference and Other Ministers The Negro business is suffering from inefficiency and lack of experience, as well as poor support from those who should be supporting them, is the general opinion among a large number of professional people in Harlem. A Negro attorney, who has helped organize a number of local corporations, while speaking along this line recently, said that the real trouble with colored business, in Harlem is that few who operate these businesses have the knowledge and experience necessary to enable them to compete successfully against white merchants of the community. Most people do not realize that business is as much a science as engineering or medicine, and requires just as careful study. The questions of buying wisely, or keeping accurate records, of advertising, of the right kind of salesmanship, are all important factors in the conducting of business, and many times failures come from neglecting one of these factors. Advertising is the factor most commonly neglected. Colored business then have a fashion of imitating their white competitors in almost everything but in advertising. In this they usually underestimate the importance of advertising, and in making a budget seldom make provision for it. Cooperation a Necessity Of the Negro corporations organized since 1918 in New York City, more than half of them have either some bankrupt or ceased to be active. Those that continue to do business are for the most part examples of the "survival of the fittest." But should be supported by the public. But they, themselves, must also realize the importance of conducting their businesses on the highest planes and learn the value of cooperation. This master of cooperation is of vital importance in the lives of the black businessmen in the United States. Advertising will not be able to compete successfully, against the chain businesses of other races. Then there must be another kind of cooperation—there must be cooperation between men in one line of business and those in another. For example, the colored druggist, who wants the patronage of the colored grocer or shoe store YOUNG HOLLEY FAILS Reports received in New York City on Saturday, May 13, were to the effect that Emile Treville. Holley of 102 West 138th street, the colored youth named by Congressman Martin C. Ansorge of the 21st New York Congressional District, as a candidate for appointment to a cadetship at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, had failed in the mental examinations. This test was taken by Holley on April 19 at the Custom House, New York City, under supervision of the United States Civil Service Commission. Holley is quoted as saying, upon receipt of word that he had failed, that he thought his failure might have been in mathematics, which he claimed not to have reviewed since leaving high school EMILE TREVILLE HOLLEY Named by Congressman Amperge as Candidate for admission to Annapolis Naval Academy, is reported to have failed to pass the mental examination. four years ago. Although his nomination was made by Congressman Annore on March 2, several weeks, lacking a day, prior to the examination, Yuppie Holley is reported as saying that he had not time for reviewing his examination. He believed that he had done well in English, history and geography. He was recorded countless treatment by the examiners at the Carson House, he said. proprietor should be willing to give them his trade in these particular lines. And in a like manner the colored theatres and business men who want publicity through the papers of the race should also be willing to advertise or give their printing to these people. Such a policy is pursued by Jews and other races, and this to a large extent is responsible for the strength of their business. Age Article Caused Comment. The article on the support Negro business is receiving in Harlem, which appeared in Titre. Ace several weeks ago caused numerous comments among business and professional people. Most of the leading ministry of the community declared that the statements concerning their lack of support by professional people as a whole were true, and since that time the local Baptist Minister's Conference and several ministers of other denominations, including Rev. J. W. Brown of Mother Zion Church, have endorsed the idea of cooperation as outlined by the Harlem Economic Association. But several professional men in the community have defended their position of not patronizing Negro business, saying that they saw no interest in owned businesses of the community, their stores attractive, that many of them sell inferior goods, and some overcharge and give inferior service. Examples were cited where colored ice cream parlors were charging fifteen cents for "milk shakes" and cream while the stores operated by other races charged only ten cents. It was pointed out that many of the colored restaurants were dark and unsanitary in contrast to the light and strictly sanitary chain restaurants operated by other races. These things, it was said tended to repel rather than attract. When, however, those who took this position were told of other stores of the race which were on the same plane with the best stores in the community, some declared that they did not know of them before, and promised that they would give them a trial. It is for these stores that are prepared to serve the public to reach out after business and not wait for business to coem to them. They can let the public know what they have to offer best by advertising in the newspapers an dother mediums with a high class circulation. (Special to The New York Age). Chicago, Ill.-Richard T. Greener, former United States consul at Bom- bay, India, and at Vladivostok, Russia widely known, throughout the country as an author and orator, died suddenly on Tuesday morning, May 9th, from cerebral hemorrhage at his late home, 5237 Elliss avenue. Professor Greener suffered the attack while in his bath-room. He arose at his usual hour in seeming good health, but he died within thirty minutes after the hemorrhage attack. Born in Philadelphia, Pa. in January, 1884, Professor Greener won many honors in literature and state- manship. He studied at Oberlin, Phillips and Andover, and finally graduated from Harvard in 1870, with hon- or, and winning several distinguished prizes. He was for a while, principal of Sumner school in Washington, D. C. He had studied law, though he nere- engated actively in its practice. But he was counsel for Lient. Whittaker, in East Point cadet, who finally re- gired his cadetship. Greener was ad- mitted to practice law before the Sime- rine Court and was elected as cean- of the law department at Howard University. He was a clerk in the office of the first Comptroller in the Treasury Department. Later he located in New York City where he served as a civil service examiner under the administration of Mayor Greener and was for several purpose secretary of the Grant Monies and Fund. He was in the consular service from 1888 to 1906, since which time he be- lived in Chicago, engaged in inking and writing. For services in lieu of Chinese famine sufferers in Shenyang and Shandong the Chinese govern- ment awarded him the electoration of the Double Dragon Order, and he was recipient of honorary degrees from the University of South Carolina, upon years college for white youth, the Chi- nae of Houston, Louisiana and Georgia University.

Washington and Finds Inspiration ```markdown ``` This is an historic pilgrimage. It is Spring day in the hills of Alabama. She, red-throated robins are caroling her lays from the waiving limbs of the sweet-scented magnolia trees. The hills and valleys are beautiful, with bond splashes of golden sunlight and the delicate pink bloom of the peach trees, writes Dr. Francis T. Miller, founder of "The Journal of American History" in the Christian Science Monitor Here in the "black belt" of America stand at the monument of the "father of their race"—Booker T. Washington—and feel the mighty impulse of 12,000,000 Negroes struggling up from the letters of bondage to their own economic and spiritual deliverance. Behind them is the steady upward march of the colored races of the world—400,000,000 strong—a dynamic power in the mold of civilization. It has been my duty as historian, and as an Anglo-Saxon—of the tenth generation from the epoch-making Mayflower and Plymouth Rock—to weigh and measure the forces of civilization in various parts of the world. I have studied the race problem on its native soil under varied political, social and religious systems. Never before have I felt the mighty impact of physical forces breaking the chains of ignorance to the extent that one feels them here at Tuskegee. Pilgrims before the pyramids of Egypt, yellers of the Carsas, or of Napoleon, look upon all that survives of pratyphy, despition, lust for power. But here at Tuskegee, before the monument of Booker T. Washington, we realize that here is an abiding place of the spiritual forces that are lifting a race from the blackness of ignorance into the radiant white light of unfolding intelligence and spiritual awakening. We linger here under the white blossoms of the magnolia tree; we hear the melodious voices of 2,000 Negro youths unwilling from the open windows of the shapel near by—the outcourting of their souls in the folk songs of their race; "Victory!" "I Know the Lord Laid His Hands, On Me" "Roll On, Sweet Charion." These Negro spirituals are now recognized throughout the world as America's most distinctive contribution to the art of music. Let us enter the chapel. It is a great mass of youthful black faces—stalwart boys in khaki uniforms; girls in blue uniforms with white blouses, and girls in a pure white gowns with soft white sats that were like a field of Fastic lies through the vast auditorium of the church. Jewish Leader Present Seated on the platform are many distinguished men and women from all parts of our country, of all creeds and faiths. There is the former Secretary of the Navy, Josephus Daniels of Raleigh, N.C. representative of the Old South, there is Dr. Wallace Buttrick of the General Education Board of New York, William G. Willcox, former chairman of the Board of Education of New York. Here have sat Governors of the Southern States, Senators, diplomats and such eminent personages as Lord and Lady James Bruce, President Theodore Roosevelt, President William H. Taft, President McKinley, President Cleveland, Elijah Root, Dr. Lyman Abbott, Charles W. Elliott, Walter Hines Page, Seth Low, Andrew Carnegie and nearly all the national figures of the last generation. But, perhaps the most significant of all is Julius Rosenwald, the Jewish philanthropist from Chicago. He sits with his charming wife on the platform, directly behind the pulpit. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute; is reading the Scriptures. Mr. Rosenwald joins heartily in the Christian hymns. Here is one of the strong characters in the non-sectarian life of our country. A leader in the Jewish faith and probably the largest single contributor to Jewish relief funds, he sits here with his Christian friends and towns reverently in their services. He does not behoove me to make a public statement of the social service activities of this man Rosenwald. But it is no secret to tell you that he has erected or assisted in building some 1,600 schoolhouses in the South I went with him to one of these Rosenwald schools. The children all know him and love him. I saw the Negro children gather about Mrs. Rosenwald at the Children's House as she told them some of the nursery tales that she used to tell her own children. We went to an old time Baptist Negro church up on Mount Nebo, where the Negro clergyman was exhorting his flock. It was an inspiring moment to see this broad-minded big-hearted Jewish philanthropist as he stood before this Baptist congregation and set forth the highest ideals of Christianity. Mr. Rosenwald is not the type of man who subscribes the money and remains aloof from the people. He is best exemplified by his humility, modesty and love for the people. He goes among them with his helping hand extended, a smile on his face, and words of affection and en Many Crafts Taught. Is it not significant that down here in the "black bait" of America, where the light of intelligence and truth is penetrating the darkness of ignorance, we would religious and racial prejudice cast aside—that all men should meet Tindegus under the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man? And is it not even more significant that his spiritual awakening—this new growth in the world's progress—should come from the humble slave boy whose living on the block was about $400? A man without a name; a refugee who would 150 miles to Hampton; who would under the sidewalk at night; who would recognition with his broom among a room so thoroughly gained him respect as a servant to herder? Is it not necessary to relate the unmerged of this slave boy's character as told his story in his notable book, "The Slave Warry." I would like, how the impatient upon every reader the unmerged of his work and his responsibility under stacles. Tukkegee stands today as the greatest institution of its kind in the world. Its fundamental idea is the dignity of labor—to do whatever honest work your hands need to do in the best of your ability. Here we find on this beautiful Spring day a great institution covering 2,178 acres of farms, campus and school grounds, with 117 buildings in which forty trades and vocations are being taught. We find in the trade schools and academic classes 1,700 Negro students—920 boys, 702 girls and 88 Government trainees—being taught by a Negro faculty of 180. Rising from the humblest of shanties, the total value of the property controlled by this institution, including endowments, now exceed $4,000,000, of which more than $1,683,000 is in farm equipment, 485 head of live stock, land, buildings, warms and implements. I have had several talks with Dr. Robert R. Moton, the strong cultured, far sighted Negro on whom the mantle of Booker T. Washington has fallen and whose life is consecrated to the upbuilding of Tuskegee. Dr. Moton is a status in ebony—a scholar and a statesman who is making history every day. He worked his way through Hampton by sawing wood and in any labor that his hands could find to do. Emphasize this fact because it is the foundation and the keystone to the whole existence of Tuskegee. Its manual is honest labor—through labor and in labor it finds its only solution for the upbuilding of the Negro race. Its moral, economic and intellectual future is in the dignity and integrity of labor—and the rewards of labor. Its economic creed was laid by Booker Washington. "We shall prosper in proportion as we learn to dignify and glorify labor—and put brains and skill into the common occupations of life." Race Must Start in Soil. Its moral creed is set down in these words of Booker Washington: "I will let no man drag me down so low, as to make me hate him." for as to make the hate Its social creed is established in the words of this same patriarch: "There is no defense or security for any of us except in the highest intelle- gence and development of all." We pass from school to school and look upon stalwart young song of Ham at the blacksmith forge: brick masons erecting new buildings, electrical engineers running the power plant that operates the institution; steam engineers, plumbers, painters, carpenters at their work, printers, plasterers, shoemakers. Here we look into the happy faces of young girls who are making their own millinery, dresses, tailoring, housekeeping, cooking the food, for the entire institution, nursing in the hospital, practicing home economies and domestic science. Many of them: are beautiful in their refined expression, studies in bronze and alabaster. Mono Lias—and statuesque figure that remind one of Egypt. "This race must come up from the soil." This is the foundational faith of Dr. Moton and his co-workers. Hence the agricultural building is their pride. Here we meet the young Negroes at work as dairymen, planters, chemists of the soil, poultry raisers, students of horticulture, animal husbandry, farm management. Here, too, we find Dr. George W. Carver, director of research at the experiment station. He is one of America's foremost agricultural chemists and for the peanut alone has found some hundred or more practical uses. Did that he was recently offered $75,000 to go North and take charge of some of the largest laboratories in this country—but refused, saying: "I must give my knowledge and my lief to my people—they need it." But do not for a moment feel that Tuskegee is neglecting the cultural values. These same young laborers are becoming refined and educated men and women; they satisfy music and arts, languages, biology, history, and all the classical and cultural studies of the highest grade schools and colleges of the white race. They are acquiring a well-rounded moral and intellectual development rooted deep in the dignity of labor. Keck Monument Artistic It is impossible to speak here of all the interesting personages that one meets on a pilgrimage to Tuskegee. I have been out to see the guard mount and regimental parade on Washington Field—and have met the highest ranking Negro officers in the United States Army. I have listened to the registrar, Alvin J. Neeley, deliver one of the finest orations ever heard. It was at the unveiling of the Keck memorial to Booker T. Washington, erected from money contributed by 100,080 Negroes. And let me venture the opinion that this monument will stand with that of Saint-Guaden's "Shaw Memorial" in Boston, as one of America's greatest contributions to the world's sculpture. I have been over to the photographic laboratories to view the art exhibition of C. M. Bostey, the truest artist that the Negro race has yet developed. I just shook hands with Dr. George Cleveland Hall, the eminent Negro surgeon of Chicago, as he finished his masterful eulogy on his friendship with Booker Washington, before a throng at the Institute Chapel, with former Secretary of the Navy Daniels preceding him. I have walked over the magnificent lawns and grounds with Negro landscape gardeners who have made Tuskegee a vision of beauty equal to our universities in the North, and I have talked with the supervisors and student laborers whose hands erected the buildings as majestic as those of Yale or Harvard. One of the most impressive moments of these historical travels is in stand in the dining hall—seating 2,000—and hear the outpouring of hearts as their voice rise triumphantly in the Tuskegee song. Let us refract on the import of all this: As a historian analyzing the rise and fall of some four systems of civilization, I see vast possibilities and unforeseen dangers in the burrow of new forms, especially forests. But most and most serious problems and perplexities lie, as we shall see, in the unseen nature of the human spirit. STER NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1922.

My early days as a student were spent in Virginia at Washington and Lee University. There I learned the heart of the old South. My descent is from an old abolitionist family in the hills of New England. I feel therefore that I know the heart of both the North and the South—and after weighing the evidence from every side I feel further that the solution to the problem is here at Tuskegee. Here they are working out the destiny of a race as a constructive factor in the onward march of civilization and human progress. Here they are working out their own salvation through the dignity of labor on the highest standards of morality and service. They are building character as the first, foundation stone to be laid by their own labor; they are developing the cultural values. Whatever may be the economic and sociological problems to be solved in the development of a new race, I believe that the simultaneous spiritual awakening of all the races is one of the most positive facts in world history. We are reaching a point in human evolution where Divine Mind is to be recognized as the only controlling force—when the laws of men shall be fashioned only after the divine laws which operate the universe—in which God is the only source. We have witnessed in recorded history some 6,000 years of conflict between races and creeds and political faiths—all of which culminated in a world war. We have passed through the furnace of fire together and there seems to be but one way of escape for our present system of civilization. It must go down with the preceding civilization of ancient Assyria, Egypt, Greece, Rome—or apply divine law to all its human problems. As we stand here in Tuskegee I wonder what H. G. Wells might thing or say in his "Outline of History" if would Gandhi of India say? I wonder if Darwin would tell us that in the purging processes of time all races will become white. I kno what the Carpenter from Natearth would say. YOUNG GRIFFIN KILLED IN MOTOR COLLISION (Special to The New York Age). Springfield, Mass.—William E. Griffin, 28, of 606½ Main street, was instantly killed on Sunday, May 7, when the motorcycle he was riding collided with an automobile driven by Sidney Ingham of 43 North street, Ludlow, Mass.

Numbers stood during the services by reason of seats not being available. Overflow services were conducted in the lecture room by Rev. A. E. Pignott. The special sermon on "Mother's Day" was preached by the pastor Dr. Brown. Prior to the sermon the pastor requested that a prayer of thanks to Jehovah be offered in gratitude for a mother's love.

The influence of the mother upon the life of the child was vividly portrayed in all its sympathy, tenderness and love. It was an impressive service, a service in which God was glorified through the lakers of mother to raise up sons and daughters who will honor Him in their lives.

GUNMEN IN HARLEM. In reporting, a recent shooting in Harlem, in which a client who felt that he had a grievance against his lawyer, took the law in his own hands and sought redress at the point of a revolver, incidentally hitting a policeman who died later in the hospital, the daily papers stressed the fact that "Pohndorf is the fourth policeman slain by Negro gunmen in the Negro section of Harlem since the beginning of the year." The fact that four policemen have been killed in Harlem by Negroes this year is unfortunately true. But the manner of stating this fact is also unfortunately phrased. In no case was it proved that the slayers of these policemen were professional gunmen. The record of Luther Boldy, who was convicted of shooting the two officers who were taking him to the station house, did not show that he had ever shot anyone before. The plea raised in his behalf was that he shot under the fear that he was being taken to again endure the torture of the "third degree." The third policeman was shot in a station house by a Nego who upon examination was declared insane and sent to the institution for the criminals of that class. In the last case, there was no intent alleged of killing the policeman. The fact that the fatal shot struck the officer was incidental to the attack upon the lawyer by the client who was caressed by the idea of revenge for the wrong he claimed had been "Gabe Jim." This talk about Negro gunmen in Harlem shooting four policemen is not strictly in accord with the facts, as a little investigation will show. Such a statement is apparently printed in order to arouse color prejudice as much as for anything else. The shooting in each case was without moral justification and the law moved speedily for the punishment of the slayers. But it is not in keeping with the facts to imply the existence of any organized number of gunmen in Harlem, will make a practice of shooting policemen. Let us have the truth about these crimes, even if it makes the story less penalable than might be desired. There is too much gun carrying by undesirable members of society of both races, in Harlem as well as in other parts of the city. It should be stopped for the protection of the community in general from reckless shooting, here is too much of it for the good of the city. EXPENSIVE FUNERALS One of the most pititable exhibitions of extravagance among the poor of a great city is the practice of giving their dead the most expensive funeral that their means or their credit will permit. It seems to be a point of honor that the departed member of the family, be it the wage earner or not, should be buried with the utmost display that the limited insurance or the benefits coming from the societies of which he was a member, will justify. The cashier must be the most costly attendant and the number of carriages or motor cars must be as great as to accommodate not only friends of the family, but also provide a free ride for the idle and curious who may attend. It has been stated on reliable authori- ties that as much as twelve hundred dol- dars has been expended on the funeral of a plain hard working man, who never in his lifetime had seen or possessed that much money. The expenditure is mainly based on the amount of insur- ance the dead man may have left or the number of lodges he belonged to and the amounts payable as death benefi- ces. However large the aggregate may be, it seems as if the sentiment of the recipients and the friends of the family allows that all of it must be spent in burying the departed. Little thought goes to be given for the future of the benefit of their support and pro- spective. With the available funds contained only a tribute of extravagant respect in a mistaken devotion, the widow and mother of the dead man often find encounter in hard straits after the wife. With the sudden withdrawal and earnings that once came in an only the money to pay the row involved food and clothing in look- ing the widow often has to seek out and the children who are old and the children who are not having school and be paid. All of this sudden plunge from com- fortable living to grinding need might have been averted, or at least delayed if sounder judgment had been excused in the matter of arranging for the funeral expenses. There is need in such emergencies for the counsel and advice of those who have the best interest of the surviving family in view. The pastor and the undertaker himself should bear in mind the fact that the family have to live after the funeral. They should restrict the expenditures to a sum that would meet the demands of decency and propriety and at the same time allow the reservation of a sufficient balance from the insurance or the death benefits to provide for the family needs, until their mode of living can be satis- factorily adjusted to the changed conditions. Extravagant funerals that plunge a bereft family into sudden poverty are a reproach to those responsible for them. They reflect no honor on the dead and work untold suffering to the living. They should be abolished in the name of common sense and decency. FILIPINOS AT ANNAPOLIS The Mantla Daily Bulletin of February 14 published an announcement that indicated that the doors of the Naval Academy at Annapolis are no longer to be barred to the representatives of the colored races. The announcement read as follows: The University of the Philippines has been authorized to select two candidates for the examination for admission to the United States naval academy at Annapolis. The candidates to be chosen will, however, be subject to another examination before the commandant of the naval base at Cavite. If successful, they will be admitted as midshipmen to the naval academy. Dean Herman Reynolds of the college of engineering is to take charge of the examination at the University of the Philippines, to be held March 18. The final examination will be held at Cavite on April 18. The qualifications are sound physical condition and special aptitude in the mathematical sciences. Subjects in English composition, geography, history and government are also to be covered in the tests. In view of the fact that native Filipinos are to be admitted to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, if successful in meeting the requirements, the recent hullabahis raised over the naming of a native American lad for admission, merely because his color is not white, seems rather ridiculous. The policy and propriety of educating Filipino youth to serve as officers in the Navy of the United States is not questioned, but there does not appear to be any good reason why the Filipino should be given greater consideration than the native American of color. The drawing of color lines in the Army or the Navy or in any other department of government service is undemocratic and un-American. Especially is this true when such lines are drawn against such a faithful factor of the national strength as the Negro, who has served in every war that the United States has taken part in, from the Revolution to the World War. BREACHES OF TRUST A large portion of the regular business transactions of the average man or woman is based on the exercise of trust in the ability and good faith of others to carry out their promises of performance. The tenant who lures an apartment and pays a deposit puts trust in the real estate broker who takes his money to insure his possession at a specified time. The individual who hires a lawyer to collect a debt trusts in the honesty of his attorney to turn over the amount collected, less his fee for collection. In most cases the trust repaired in the renting agent and the attorney is justified by his performance, but there have been enough exceptions to this rule to arouse distrust and emphasize the need for a stricter enforcement of good faith in such relations. For instance, frequent complaints are heard of the doings of a certain class of real estate dealers in Harlem, who agree to sell or rent property over which they have no control, taking as much money as they can secure as a deposit on their contract. When after repeated delays and excuses for the non-performance of their promises, the attending purchaser or tenant demands the return of his money, he is told that it has been either used for expenses or retained for services rendered him. Certain lawyers are also charged with obtaining large retainers from clients for a specified purpose and falling either to render the service or return the money. Other attorneys, it is alleged, have collected or settled claims for their clients and devoted the entire amount collected to their own use. Undoubtedly a legal remedy might be involved for such flagrant breaches of trust as those complained of, if the facts were properly presented to the courts or to the Bar Association. But the proceeding entails both time and trouble and the injured parties in most cases content themselves with denouncing the breach of trust and lawyers and real estate men in general. This is an unsatisfactory outcome of such a lack of professional ethics, as it weakens confidence in the honesty and good faith of those whom the public should trust. The reputable lawyers and realists would find it to their advantage to encourage the protection of those among them who are accused of such breaches of trust. The dishonest practitioners should not be allowed to pray further on trusting clients. The character and good faith necessary to such confidential solutions should be maintained by training the magistrate in the art of trusting clients. THE NEW YORK AOE, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1922. VIEWS and REVIEWS By James Weldon Johnson, Contributing Editor. A REAL POET. For years the great poet has been regarded as the highest manifestation of the intellectual, esthetic, and in many cases spiritual, powers of a race. In the names that have come down through history it is those of the great poets that blaze out brightest. It is chiefly upon the achievements of such poets that races and peoples claim greatness for themselves. There are, of course, four names which in their influence and appeal stand on a level with or even above the greatest poets. They are Buddha, Confucius, Christ and Mohammed. But these four great religious teachers were after all great ethical poets. Judged in every light they do represent the highest peaks of the genius of the races that produced them. But these names are limited to oriental races. No occidental race has yet produced a great religious teacher. Among the occidental peoples the great poet still stands almost unrivaled. There are other lists, of course, that contain names of wide influence and appeal. For example, the soldiers' list can show Alexander, Caesar and Napoleon. But there is not an occidental people in which the final test would not put its greatest poet above its greatest soldier. The times are slightly changed and the glamor about the poet may be somewhat dimmed. We are living in a very material age, and the man of science, the man who is able to bend the forces of nature to the well being of humanity is coming into ascendency. There may come a time when from achievements in science there will spring names that will shed a luster as bright and enduring as the names of Homer, Shakespeare, Dante, Moliere and Goethe. However, to my mind, this is improbable. The materialism of the present age may be but a transitory state. Moreover, although the scientist may contribute what in the ultilitarian sense is far more important to humanity, he can never take hold of the imaginations of men and stir their souls like the poet. It therefore seems that as lon gas man loves the beautiful the great poet will hold his supreme place. I have indulged in this rather weighty sounding introduction simply to induce a train of thought. I wish my readers to think of the production of poets by a race as a vital thing. It is vital not only as an indication of the development of the race but it is vital as to the place and recognition which that race is given by the world at large. In accordance with the temper of the age, and more particularly, in accordance with false ideas with which the mind of the Negro in America has been impregnated, we Aframericans are prone to think of one of our number who conducts a successful corner grocery store as being far more vital and important as a factor in our progress than one who turns out a sheaf of poems, even though the poems are real poetry. We are prone to think of the grocer as one who is laying foundations stones in our racial greatness and of the poet as doing little more than wasting his time. Without disparaging the successful grocer, I must say that this evaluation is all wrong. It would be interesting, if it were possible, to calculate how many successful Negro grocers it would take to equal the force of Paul Laurence Dunbar as a factor in the progress of the race and in having the progress recognized by the world. I am now driving at the truth contained in the words of Jesus Christ when He said, "Man shall not live by bread alone." If the race would develop its greatness and highest possibilities it needs not only to support its grocers but also to appreciate its poets. All of this is merely introductory to a few words, to call attention to a Negro poet who has risen like a new and flaming star on the horizon. The poet is Claude McKay. Mr. McKay deserves a full and prompt appreciation. We should not do in his case what were guilty of in the case of Dunbar, that was, not to recognize or not even to know his greatness until it was acclaimed by the whites. Mr. McKay is a real poet and a great poet. I mean by this that he has both the poetic endowment and the ability to make that endowment articulate, and he is yet far from his full growth. He is still a young man. He is a poet of beauty and a poet of power. No Negro poet has sung more beautifully of his own race than McKay and no Negro poet has equalled the power with which he expresses the bitterness that so often rises in the heart of the race. As an example of that power we quote his sonnet, "If We Must Die," written after the terrible riots in the summer of 1919. If we must die, let it not be like hogs Hunted and pointed in an inglorious spot. While round us bark the mad and hungry die. Making their mock at our accursed lot. If we must die, O let us nobly die. So that our precious blood may not be shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy Shall be constrained to honor us though dead! O kinsmen! we must meet the common foe! Though far outnumbered let us show us brave. And foo their thousand blows deal one deathblow! What though before us lies the open grave? Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack. Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back! The race ought to be proud of a poet capable of voicing it so fully. Such a voice is not found every day. Mr. McKay's volume, "Harlem Shadows," published by Harcourt, Brace & Company, New York, is already attracting the attention of the critics of the country. What he has achieved in this little volume sheds honor upon the whole race. CHINA'S ANTI-CHRISTIAN REVOLT. Dispatches under date of several weeks ago from Peking, China, give accounts of an anti-Christian movement which has been put under way by students in universities and schools in China. It is said that declarations have been issued by many student organizations condemning missionary efforts in this country and speaking out particularly against Christianity. One of the statements against Christianity as published in a dispatch reads as follows: "Of all religions Christianity is, we feel, the most detestable. One gain which Christianity is guilty of and which particularly makes our hair rise on end is its collusion with militarism and capitalism. Realizing that China intelligence officer of the capitalists and the hireling of and imperialistic countries of the world, Christianity is utilizing the opportunity to extend its influence. It is the Arab world any of the beads which Christianity may coffer laying a foundation for interference. If the so-called Christian upon the Chinese it must be admitted that in a great measure the above indictment is true. Much of the spread of imperialism was effected in the name of the spread of Christianity. Most of the colonies of the nations of the Old World were acquired in the following manner: Missionaries were sent out to Christianize the heathen people and when for obvious reasons the heathen felt that the Christian was not living up to all of his teachings and professions, and when this feeling perhaps resulted in the throwing of a few stones at the mission house and the smashing of a few windows, the missionaries immediately cabled home and warships were promptly dispatched to protect the missionaries and missions and eventually to seize the heathen country. This has been done over and over again and the people of the imperialistic nations stood for it because it was done in the name of spreading and protecting the Christian religion. We feel, however, there is another angle to these dispatches from Peking. China is at present engaged in a civil war, and these dispatches may be a part of the usual diplomatic method of laying a foundation for interference. If the so-called Christian nations feel that they must interfere in China they will want a good reason for doing so and one of the best reasons that has yet been tried is the protection of Christian missionaries in a heathen land. GENOA. The Conference at Genea at the time of this writing is as good as closed. The objects for which the Conference was called have not been attained and yet a great deal has been accomplished. The economic rehabilitation of Europe seems to be as far if not farther off than before. In truth, this rehabilitation cannot be realized except through an entirely different attitude on the part of Europe and the cooperation of the United States. Of the two a different attitude on the part of Europe is the more important. Even if the United States poured several billions of dollars into Europe at the present time the result would not be what is wanted. The money would soon go into the worship of the false gods to which Europe is now bowing down—militarism, international distrust, racial suspicions, nationalistic greeds. Europe must face the facts that it is necessary for her to practice not only the most rigid economy but self-denial and to bend all of her energies toward recuperation. Unless Europe is able to come to this state of mind no amount of aid from the United States will be able to actually save her. EDUCATION IN GEORGIA. The Georgia Association for the Advancement of Education among Negroes held its fifth annual meeting at Columbus last month. Among the facts relating to public education brought out at this meeting, according to the Savannah Tribune, were the following: Small salaries of teachers; insignificant amount given to the State Institution for colored people, and the crowded conditions; if the classroom in Negro schools. It was brought out that of the $1,223,000 appropriated for the State institutions, the schools of Albany and Savannah got only $25,000, or 2 per cent. of the amount; Negro Children are taught for $318 14o term; whites are taught for 14o term; Negro teachers have entitlement per room 98 whites have 31; the whites have 98 whites per cent. of school population; Negro enroll 718 per cent. and 29 per cent. of the Negro school population is not enrolled, or 107,000 of the 351,000 are revered the wood. The bright side of this, however, was very encouraging. It was shown that the Georgia Association for the Advancement of Education has cooperated with the State Department of Education for the past twelve months and with the aid and direction of Mr. W. B. Hill, the Rural Supervisors, more than twenty schoolhouses have been raised at a cost of more than $100,000. The organization has assumed intensive interest and support in its work among the leading institutions of the State Churches, fraternities and women's organizations are reported as taking to the work, as never before. It is proposed to raise ten thousand dollars next year to support the causes of common school education. This research amount of educational effort is highly credible to the Negro people of Georgia and is made necessary by the failure of the State to fulfill its obligation in the matter of public instruction fairly and squarely. The facts and figures presented show the inadequate provision of funds to support schools for Negroes as well as the failure to provide sufficient accommodation for pupils and enforce their attendance. The Negroes of Georgia are wise enough to assume the duty that the State ignores in providing school facilities for their children. Let us hope that the State educational authorities in the course of time may be brought to a better appreciation of their responsibilities. A HIGH CALLING We have it on good scriptural authority that the preacher and the teacher of God's Word is called to a high calling. In these modern days where too much laxity of conduct is found in the ranks of those who should afford a better example, it is well to bear this saying in mind. A recent scrutiny of the records of a criminal court revealed the line opposite the name of a prisoner convicted on his own confession of a heinous crime the description, "minister of the Gospel." Evidently here was an unfortunate sinner who could not live up to the highness of his calling. In other times the minister was forced apart from the rest of humanity by an armor of smug sanctimonium, which made him seem a thing apart. Nowadays he is accepted as a human being, something like the rest of the world, and he need not wear distinctive attire unless he desires. But as one of the clergy said in a moment of fraternity, "a minister cannot do as he pleases." This may be true if it would please him to do things that would be regious from the heights of his milieu. The minister must be The position of the preacher involves the maintenance of human relations with his charge, based on strength of character and consistent morality. Human weakness must ever be sustained and upheld by the thought of the high calling to which it has attained. Cleanliness of living and uprightness of character will be a testimony to the world that the minister's calling is a true one. Such a light as this will lead to congregation into the ways of righteousness and peace. The best proof of the highness of the calling of the clergy, is the manner in which the members live up to it. Those who serve their fellows as guides to better living, must practice what they preach. Says the Baltimore Area American: The ministry is the only profession which admits grammar school graduates. Law and medicine require at least a high school education. The trades are open for skilled workers, and business has little use for the man or woman without a high school education. It would seem to be up to the various churches to insert on a higher requirement for admission to the university. The highest calling of all should require greater technical training and knowledge on the part of these entering it. Oregon seems to be suffering from an attack at Kuklukyn, induding from the following note in the UKland advocate: As the primary election draw near, interest in the political situation becomes more intense. Down in Texas the one question being asked in politics is "Are you a Klansman?" In Portland, the same question plays a most important part. Maybe the same significance does not attach to the term "Klansman," that obtains in other sections. At any rate it is well to smoke 'em out. FRANCES HARPER'S PROPHECY. Editor of THE NEW YORK AU During the dark and terrible days of slaves, when the avaricious and rapisious American white man field in galloping boudge four million human beings of another race and color, Mrs. Frances E. Harper, the race's famous possess of that period, wrote a poem, addressed to the white women of America, in which are the following significant stanzas: "You can fight over the sad-eyed Armenia, who sleeps in her desolate home, from kindred and friends bound in roam. But dark; from our Southland are floating ships of anguish, murmurs of pain. From kindred and friends bound in roam. Over their intrepid and slain.

But we, their fathers, get ourselves, the crops, which Father has given." That Mrs. Harper's words were prophilic then, were subsequently awfully accused by the flow of "the blood of the firebomb," that made fertile the soil of over a hundred battlefields, during the Civil War, to asome for the crime of the white man, in treating his "prophilic black" so cruelly for over 250 years. When the Associated Press Battered over the wires of the country one day last week, the news of the savage and genocide tragedy and holocaust of three women brings by an infiltrated and equally much of white Texas, Mrs. Harper's prophilic words, written many years ago, immediately recurred. true, regarding the wickedness of man slavery then, so likewise be verified, sovere or later, the enormity of the crime of unless the Federal Government stop to it, unconditionally "For, whatsoever you saw, they also reap." Keep not thou silent, O. Graceance is mine, I will repay, Lord." CHARLES H. M. Greensboro, N. C. A QUADRUPLE HORROR (Daily News, Greensboro, N. C.) The lynching stroy from Texas the most sickening thing that the papers have been compelled to years. It was a bestial led to the lynching; but the was more bestial yet, for it by white men. The fair Texas is therefore stained quadruple, instead of a single It is quite true that the white men is stirred to shout by such a crime that they will at no means, to present rence; and it is true that who who are otherwise orderly cent enough will耐心 at all of horror if they believe to sary to occur happenings to people of such a really believe that it is miserable. Le tus say, rather, have the stopped to consider calmly or not it is likely to present a patton of the crime? Consider for a moment what necessary to make such an effective. In the first place, the necessary that potential rapists be impressed by the face that over the actual one. It follows that initial rapists if they are to be pressed, must be men of grating agitation to visualize what will be to them if they surrender to beastly instincts—to imagine themselves in the place of the burrow. But who are the rapists? Are Negroes of average intelligence? Certainly not in this section of country. Your rapists is either a wit to begin with, or his brain been temporarily craved by all drugs. In either case, he is a moment incapable of doing imply by any outside influence. Most of what happened to some other in the past will not have the slight influence upon him. You might half the Negroes in Texas, and the next tumecopportunity occurred moreon, or to a vicious buck chased up on roam or heroin, you have another case of rape. In lynching or no lynching, the class of Negroes are not committed the crime anyhow; and worst class are going to commit an show. What excuse then remains for lynching? None, except to exempt the wrath of the white population on object of its detestations. But the prevention of exactly that thing goes extra-llegal, vengeance—has been object of every legal system for thousand years. Private vengeance too unreliable, too likely to injure terms and wreak the grossest harm to be permitted in a civilized state. The chances are exactly that happened in Texas. Two of the groes protested their innocence later—and the mob that killed had no evidence but the word of confessional crimes have not been rendered less likely by the Texas but Still less has justice been sent. Nothing has been done except the leaching of the heart that lies sealed in every man; and it is as an even chance that the breast, raveness, has committed two able crimes, has put two innocent to a lingering and hideous death. FOR THE FEDERAL ANTI-LYNCHING BILL. (From New York Evening Post) Would the mob which burned the Negroes at Kirkup, Texas, on Saturday May 10th, have been bent on roosty bad it known that every person who could be hunted by herelic enemies would be imprisoned from five years to life. Would sheif have been so ready to harm the keys of the rail had he known failure to perform his duty till lay him open to a fine of $5,000 one year imprisonment, or both? If the county authorities he quite questioned in this horror if they had $10,000 line immediately $10,000 each man. We think not. The lynching was particularly cruel; two of the men burned dead protecting the innocence, the only evidence theming the "contamination" of the third, likely extorted by seduction. One of leaders in the opposition in Congress the Dyer bill, which would provide Federal penalties for lynching above, was Representative Summer Texas. Yet Texas has 294 lynchings in the years 1885-1919, or more any other Southern State save Georgia and Mississippi. Every such act is worth dozens of speeches in Comer has an argument for "wiring out barbaric stain" as President Hard has put it. COMMERCE OPENS NEW FIELD FOR NEGRO WOMEN...THE GREATEST SIGN OF NEGRO PROGRESS. (Daily Record, Greenboro, N.C.) Recently at the National Th here, at the closing exercises of Fur er Memorial, a Negro editor of N. York (Fred R. Moore of The A. in speaking, turned and pointed to Negro girl students on the stage then asked the audience, "What these girls to find to do when t graduate?" It must be admitted, that empl ment for Negro women is an ect problem for Negro men to solve ought to be one of the most seri problems with which they are now fronted. It used to be that the highest position which Negro women was pire was that of a school teacher is not so now. In Durham the N. Mutual has a corps of Negro wom clerks, so many in fact that that increse concern operates a lunch for the purpose of accommodating its office help at lunch hour. It is said that a Negro business cern in Atlanta, Ga. employs some odd women, paying $200 a week. Norfolk, Va. is another city where companies in Negro women are doing produced in Negro women. But what would immediately cern the Greenborn Negro people this sign from a certain Negro store here. It reads: "Woman clerk wanted at good work and hard. Would prefer women with industry."

Those who say the Negroes should come to attend the meeting take the po- sition that if they don’t come it will give the prejudiced whites some ground for their unwarrantetd pretetxt and an excuse for saying Negroes take no in- terest in purely patriotic movements whiak bave to be “kept up from monies out of the pockets of the members, and whict have no emoluments or rewards to offer except the glorious fecling of membership: in an organization of imen who fought the battles of their country and are proud of it as a heritage far their children and posterity. They say if the Negroes come and are refused participation, are illtreated or an at- tempt made to jim crow them, the re- cords of these facts will prove in the future, as they proved in the past, that no group in tie United States can show a better record of service to the coun- try at times of war or peace than the Negro group, the allegation: of ene- mies to the contrary notwithstandilig.

Robinson THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS night Performances at Lafayette Theatre Exhibits Promising Dramatic Material Among Members of the Race-Wilson an Author (By LUCIEN H. WHITE). The Acme Players, a group the first time before a Harlem night performance at the LA act plays. The performance York Urban League, 2303 Sev secretary, and for the financial The Acme Players, a group of amateur actors, appeared for the first time before a Harlem audience on Friday, May 12, in a goodnight performance at the Lafayette Theatre, presenting three act plays. The performance was under auspices of the New York Urban League, 2303 Seventh Avenue, James H. Hubert, secretary, and for the financial benefit of that organization. A splendid audience greeted the Players for their initial effort, and gave warm and cordial appreciation to their work. Mrs. Acme Wolter of the Dynamic School at Carnegie Hall, with George Curric, a producer and manager of national reputation, has been directing the activities of these people in their dramatic study, and was directive in charge of this presentation. The three plays, with their respective casts, were follows: There was a wider diversity in characterization in "The Bracelet," and a greater scope was given the various characters. If Miss Hawkins' voice had possessed greater carrying powers, she would have dominated the scene by the force of her acting, but it was difficult to understand what she was saying. Miss Lake, Mr. Leathen, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Tyne were strong and outstanding in their respective parts. "CONFIDENCE" ( BY FRANK H. WILSON. Bernice Wood.....Mclaude Jackson Dr. Feed Wood.....Frank H.

Lilla Hawkins It is, of course, not fitting to make a critical analysis of the dramatic work of these young people from the same point of view as would obtain in the case of professionals, even though at least one of them might be considered as having already crossed the line of amateurism by having taken part in more sophisticated productions. The action ran with commendable smoothness, and in only one or two instances were there evidence of lapse of memory on part of performers or lack of coordination in endeavor. Perhaps the principal fault was failure of some of the actors to pitch their voices that they might score to the audience clearly and understandingly the words of the plays. For the most part, the performance showed that there is much good talent among the Acme Players. The first play, "Confidence," in which the author, Frank H. Watson, enacted the leading character, was given with a greater degree of smoothness than the succeeding plays, the three performers exhibiting a more confident knowledge of their parts and playing with a more thorough understanding and deficiencies. Miss Jackson gave a fine interpretation of a rather difficult part. Heywood Broun Co Race Segrega Heywood Broun Comments On Race Segregation in Theatres Thr. Age, in its issue of April 15th, published a review of the Negro play "Taboo," running at that time at the Sam H. Harris Theatre, West Side street. Reference was made to the acinning segregation of color pattern at that theatre, as it appeared that members of the dark race were permitted to sit in the orchestra. In the New York World, a few days ago, Heywood Brown, dramatic editor, and writer of the column, "It Seems To Me," made interesting comment on an experience had by Claude McKay, Negro poet; and associate editor of The Librater, a magazine published here in New York City, and in the same article Brown referred to segregation as practiced at the Sam H. Harris Theatre during the run of "Taboo." An article in the current Librarian brings up one of the most curious customs now prevalent in New York theaters. In response to an invitation from the Theatre (suild), the magazine sent inside McKay to the Fulton Theatre for review "He Who Gets Shapped." So on the appointed night, writes McKay, "we presented ourselves at the best office of the Fulton. It was with keen pleasure I anticipated seeing this fantastic play of Leonid Andreyev. He, the One Who Gets Shapped." A curious and amusing theme! "The stubs were handed to Gropper and we started toward the orchestra. But the usher, with a look of quizzical amusement on his face, stopped us snatching the stubs from Gropper and surprising something about seeing the manager, he left us wondering and be frightened. In a moment he returned with the manager. "The—wrong date," the manager stammered and taking the stubs, snapped 'orchestra,' he hurried off to the bus office, returning with others marked "halony." Studiously the realization came to me. I had come here as a tragic critic, a lover of the theatre, and a grave soul. But—I was abruptly surprised—those things did, not matter, important fact, with which I was finally slapped in the face, was my life. I am a Negro." are, of course, certain parts of inhabited States where one gallery is used for Negroes alone. That is inhibition, but at least it represents most of view. The New York prac- tionsmen race prejudice the most moral sensitivity. The managers say that it is unthinkable that the should be allowed to use of the There was a wider diversity in characterization in "The Braceret," and a greater scope was given the various characters. It Miss Hawkins' voice had possessed greater carrying powers. She would have dominated the scene by the force of her acting, but it was difficult to understand what she was saying. Miss Lake, Mr. Leathen, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Tynes were strong and outstanding in their respective parts. "Considerable humor was in evidence in "The Lesson in Whist," based on the rather lackeyel basis of marital misunderstanding, and the audience seemed to enjoy it hugely. Secretary Hubert, in the intermission between the first and second plays, introduced Mrs. Wolter, who spoke briefly of the work of the Acme Players, declaring that this occasion was the culmination of several years of conscientious effort on part of a little group of earnest workers. She explained that some tour or five years ago Franklin H. Sargent, president of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and his associates, Lennuel S. C. Josephs, George Currier and Mrs. Wolter, organized classes in dramatic training composed of colored students. After two years, Mrs. Wolter assumed responsibility of carrying on the work, and has done so ever since. After telling of the patience sacrifice, hard work and endurance shown by the members of the group in attaining their present development, and referring to recent talent in the race which needs only opportunity for expression, coupled with a desire for training and disciplined development, Mrs. Wolter made a plea for an Art Center where race students can receive training in all branches of art from the best instructors of a minimum cost. In this connection she also bid for the great need of a Little Theatre in Harlem, where it is almost impossible to secure a theatre under suitable or advantageous arrangements. A request was made to the people in the audience for cooperation in developing this "dream." Mrs. Wolter declaring that "prudence and indifference cannot long withstand the omplight of faith and will." Presentation of this affair was largely in the hands of Miss Amelia Wiltner of the New York Urban League. The program for the performance was featured by quotations from various Negro writers, statesmen and authors, with a number of interesting book notes which had been prepared by colored members of the staff of the West 13th street public library. Mrs. Rosalie Scott McLennan headed the list of pattern kisses, and secured the cooperation of a large group of prominent women. paid $350 for his seat. Accordingly, he is shunted off into a gallery next to a white spectator who has paid only $20 or less. And thereby Caucasian propriety is maintained. There is a law in New York State rigorously forbidding race discrimination and providing penalties, but the law is constantly broken in the theaters. The violations are not frank, but the box office men are instructed to say that they have no tickets left when a Negro asks for a seat in the orchestra. Dine honorable exception should be noted. Mr. McKay records that he reviewed the "Chance Soura" from an orchestra seat and that nobody seemed to think anything about it. Doubly the high point in silly the discrimination was reached during the production of "Labor," which was a play dealing with a Negro theme and in which all the important and interesting acting was done by Negroes. But such Negroes as came to see these performances by their own people were herded into the gallery. The only thing that can be sand in behalf of the Theatre Guild in the McKay incident is that it does not control the Fulton Theatre. It merely happens to have a show playing there. Still, the explanation which, according to McKay, was telephoned to the Liberator by a Guild representative seems only to have heightened the silly insult. "So sorry about Mr. McKay," the poet reports the conversation, "but you will understand why we must give him a gallery seat." Art ought to be at least one field in which the color line might readily be dispensed with. It isn't. A publisher once told us that he found it impossible to sell an anthology of American poetry by William Stanley Braithwaite in the South because Mr. Braithwaite is a Negro. To us this seems like reducing race feeling to its lowest possible absurdity. We wonder whether little boys below the Mason and Dixon line are allowed to read "Three Musketeers" or does the fact that Dumas was also French excuse everything. Still, it means fairly fair to excuse the South for shortcomings when we of the North have so much to answer for. Prejudice hardly becomes sweeter when it is accented by hypocrisy. Possibly we ought not to generalize from one incident, but the normy parochial prejudice shown by the Guild in to explain one of the reasons why this otherwise excellent organization has never produced an American play of any worth whatsoever. BIG MUSIG REVUE AT LAFAYETTE NEXT WEEK The colored actor is not only coming into his own on Broadway, but here in Harlem he is being given the opportunity to display his unusual gifts as an entertainer. The Coleman Brothers, lessors and managers of the Lafayette Theatre, have afforded this opportunity by producing at an enormous expense, "The Creole Folies Revue." Realizing that Harlem will accept nothing but the best, they have gotten together a star cast of favorite Harlem actors and actresses, and have spared no expense in costumes, scenery and music to make this production the equal of anything on Broadway. Billy Higgins, formerly with Billy King and his shows, will have the leading comedy role, with Blanche Thompson, B. B. Joyner, Josephine Baker, Clarence Foster and a number of other well known actors and actresses, in the cast. There is a chorus of thirty beautiful girls with stunning costumes, which compares favorably with that of any colored show in the country. The entire production was directed by Quintard Miller, brother to Flourmoy Miller of the Miller & Lyles-Sisle & Blake Enterprises, who has had a great deal of theatrical experience himself. The advance box sales indicate that it will be another big week at the Lafayette Theatre. This week the Lafayette is showing the biggest bill in Harlem, and not only are the colored people showing their appreciation by turning out in large numbers, but many white people are attending each performance. The bill is headed by Leonard, the popular dancer, with the following other big time acts: The Three Wellands; Gertie Miller Trio; Whitman Sisters; Scott, Thomas and Ray; Chappelle, Stinnett, with Eva Taylor and Clarence Williams; Wilbur C. Sweatman, with William Hageman and Buddy Edwards; and Harper and Blanks, with their Plantation Revue Company. THE LINCOLN THEATRE "Men and their sons first!" This false doctrine of a bygone day is exploded by a high-minded sensitive self-sacrificing woman in a series of tense, dramatic situations in Thomas H. Ince's super production, "Hail the Wman," which came to the Lincoln Theatre Thursday. Florence Vidor, who takes the role of the "trumphant woman" gives a deep interpretation of those qualities of womanhood that direct the fate of humanity throughout the acons. She is supported by a brilliant cast, including Madge Bellamy, Gertrude Clare, Thadore Roberts, Lloyd Hughes, Tully Marshall, Charles Meredith, Edward Martindel, Matthilda Brendage, and others.

Mayor Hylan has been asked to be present at the opening of the new home of the Bacharachs at the New York Oval, 150th street and River avenue, which will be inaugurated with a double header on the first Sunday in June. The team had a most successful training season, and expects this to be its best year. Johnny H. Lloyd, the new manager and shortstop of the Bacharachs, is beginning his sixteenth season as a shortstop, which is a record equaled by only three other stars in organized colored backhill--Manager Petway of the Detroit Stars, Captain Francis of Hildale, and Captain Hall of the Philadelphia Royal Giants. It will be interesting to compare the playing of these veterans with that of younger stars. "FASHION SHOW" BIG HIT AT NEW BEDFORD New Bedford, Mass. A "Fashion Show" was held last evening in Duff's small hall under the aisles of the Women's Loyal Union, and afforded great interest to the large audience. An amusing story was interwoven with the entertainment, which had to do with a wealthy woman who took her husband with her when she went to choose her gowns at the exclusive establishment of "Monsieur Pierre, Demon." Many beautiful gowns and smart suits were displayed by the models, and Miss Kate Turner exhibited several has featured by Cherry & Company. Another feature was the "One Button" dress, of rose colored velvet drape and fastened with pins. Mrs. Aima Lynch, who directed the entertainment and made many of the dresses exhibited, proved her aptness by the effective way in which she drapped the velvet. Miss Hazel Cureis, as "Elaine," is to be complimented for her splendid appearance and acting in her drapped dress. The musical numbers included "Little Doll at Home," by the singing dolls, and soles by Mrs. May Yorke Smith of Providence. Miss Jennie Scarborough was a quaint figure wearing her grandmother's gown. The eacting of Howard Brown was very commendable; and the way he withstood the "vamping" of Tootsie, and fell for the charms of Elaine's one button dress was indeed amusing. The committee included Mrs. Anna Lynch, director; Mrs. Alora Williams, Mrs. D. Jones, and Mrs. William Wroden. The Celt Trio played selections during the entertainment.
