Boddy Dies Protesting That He Did Not Shoot Detectives
Father Cunningly Boddy was electrocuted at an early hour at Thursday morning, August 31, at Sint Sinai, for the killing of Acting Detective Seymour William A. Miller and Francis J. Buckley, who were shot to death on the night of January 5, just in front of 22 West 135th street. I were escorting Boddy to the West 135th street police station, a few minutes away to question him concerning his knowledge of the shooting of Polishman Khodes, which had occurred some time previous.
Folling his arrest in Philadelphia, Boddy confessed to having shot the officer.
But at the last minute, just prior to his electrocution, he made a statement to his lawyer, Herman Hoffman, and to a minister, one Rev. Mr. Wilson, to the effect that his alleged confession was made for the purpose of shielding two other men who actually did the shooting.
If he denied having had a gun, and said the shooting was actually two gunmen of his acquaintance who were afraid that if Boddy is suspected to the "third degree" at the station house he might furnish information that would incriminate them. Boddy alleged that these two men met him and the police officers, and that each shot one of the detainees.
He declared further that one of the men is now in state prison at Dymouth under a sentence of 17 years, the other being in New York. After the shooting, said Boddy, one of the men took him to the former's home in 135th street and kept him overnight. It was this man who proceeded the woman's costume, dressed in which Boddy made his escape and who later into Philadelphia just prior to his arrest.
New York County American Legion Votes for Fairplay
Passes Resolution Demanding That Colored Ex-Service Men Be Admitted to Membership in Certain Sections Where They Have Been Barred
(Special to The New York Age).
Newark, N. J.—The twenty-third annual session of the I. B. P. C. F. of W. closed here early on Friday morning. August 25, with the election of J. Finley Wilson, county of the Washington Eagle, as the grand exalted ruler, and the selection of the Chicago as the next convention city. The election of Wilson came as a surprise to many of the Elks, and people who had been following the proceedings of the convention. It is said to have been brought about by the throwing of votes pledged to Stanton of Pittsburgh to the support of the Washington candidate after the first ballot. Last year the deposed grand exalted ruler is alleged to have promised Stanton that he, Wibecan, would not seek reelection and would support the Pittsburgh candidate. It is said that Wibecan did not keep his promise and this, it seems, brought on a fight, which served to strengthen the candidacy of Wibecan. Another contributing factor toward the defeat of Wibecan was the reading of a letter received by southern delegates, which was sent them by Wibecan in reply to an invitation to the grand exalted ruler to come South and address their lodges. The grand exalted ruler is said to have written in reply that he would come down South if the lodges would guarantee him. Pullman accommodation going and coming and no contact with Jim Crow cars.
There were only two ballots taken. In the first Wibson led with 158 votes. Wibson was second with 152, and Stanton had little less than a hundred votes. In the next vote, the delegates who had voted for Stanton threw their strength Wilson, which resulted in his election. Other officers elected sweet: George F. Bates East Orange, N. J., reelected grand secretary; James T. Carter, Richmond Va., reelected grand treasurer; H. Vaughn Howell, New York, reeledged master leading knight; W. Stanton, Philadelphia, elected grand master for three years, and Alexander Bortham, Newark, grand esteemed member of the convention sent to President Harding and

New York Coun-
Legion Vote
Passes Resolution Demand
vice Men Be Admitted to
tain Sections Where Th
The fourth annual convention of the New York County American Legion went on record on August 24, after a worm debate, as favoring the admission of colored ex-service men into the Legion and demanding an elimination of the prejudice that has denied full justice to them.
The resolution calling for this action was presented, by Irwin Ira Rackoff of the resolutions committee, and it was issued by a number of men who denied that any proof had been submitted to show denial of membership to colored men. This argument did not prevail, however, as the resolution was adopted, there being present three hundred delegates, representing every Legion post in New York county.
The resolution was as follows:
Whereas, It is requested that no man continue the prejudice against

the Senate urging the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynchning Bill, and donated $200 to the N. A. A. G. P., to assist in the fight for the passage of this bill. The convention did not take action on the insurance proposition of the grand exalted ruler, which would provide a blanket insurance for all members. A movement was started, however, which did receive favorable consideration, and which will be acted upon at for the next convention. This was the plan to build an Elks' sanatorium at Denver, Col. The Order was found to be in a healthy condition, with more than fifty thousand members, and $500,000 cash in the bank. Imperial Lodge, No. 27, of New York City, is the largest in the order, and has a membership of over 2,000. This lodge was especially well represented in the parade on Tuesday, which proved to be the biggest ever seen in Newark. The entire convention, as a whole, was considered one of the most successful ever held by the order, and the delegates who attended will long remember the Pride of Newark Lodge, which entertained the Grand Lodge for making their trip such a pleasant one.

"Therefore, Be it resolved, that this convention recommend that immediate steps be taken by the national convention to secure full justice to colored ex-service men to the end that they may acquire the fullest opportunity for membership in the legion.
Mr. Rockoff, in presuming the resolution, said, while he had no definite information that colored men had been refused admission to the ranks of the legion, still the reports from various sects that they were having difficulty in becoming legionaries were becoming more frequent and the resolution was presided in the hopes of bridging the gap to the status of the national commissioner in the United States.

Harlem Shoe Company is Only Shoe Store in New York Conducted by Colored Men-Webb, the Jeweler, Was First of Race to Enter Business
There are few businesses in Harlem that are being run by more experienced men than that of the Harlem Shoe Company, the only colored shoe store in the city. All of the men connected with this business have had years of experience in factories and retail shoe business before going into this business. Although a corporation, the business has only five stockholders.

Nashville, Tenn.—The Rev. Dr. Richard Henry Bond, founder of the National Baptist Publishing House one of the best known figures in the ranks of the Baptist denomination in America, died here at this date late home, 1002 Heiman street, on Wednesday night, August 23, at 8:30 o'clock, following a stroke of paralysis and hemorrhage of the brain which he suffered on the preceding Saturday.

ENDORSE CALDWELL FOR THE BISHOPRIC
ENDORSE CALDWELL FOR THE BISHOPRIC
(Special to The New York Age).
Chicago, Ill. -- An interesting feature of the Young People's Congress of the A. M. E. Church, held August 16 to 20 at Quinn Chapel, attended by fifteen hundred delegates from every section of the country, was the unanimous endorsement given the candidacy of Rev. J. C. Caldwell for the bishopric.
The next general conference of the A. M. E. Church is to be held at Louisville, Ky., in May, 1924, and it is thought that several bishops will be chosen Dr. Caldwell was formerly the general secretary, Allen Christian Enleavor League, and made a splendid record in this department.
CALDWELL AN ASPIRANT.
The editor of THE NEW YORK ACE is in receipt of a letter from the Rev. I. S. Williams of Nashville, Tenn., concerning the election of bishops in the A. M. E. Church in 1924 which is self-explanatory. It refers to the candidacy of Rev. Julian C. Caldwell and recies his claims upon the church for the honor. Rev. Williams writes as follows:
Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE:
"In a recent number of your popular and widely circulated journal an article appeared nominating aspirants for the bishopric in the A. M. E. Church at the next general conference, to convene in Quinn Chapel, Louisville, Ky., in May, 1924. To say that the writer of the article did the church an injustice in the omission of the name of one of its favorite sons is putting it mildly. The Rev. Dr. Julian C. Caldwell is one of the foremost aspirants for the bishopric in the A. M. E. Church and one of the best prepared men. He is connectionally known, having served as a general officer in that church for many years. He built up the Allen Christian Endeavor League department, leaving it with credit to himself and to the church.
"The characteristics which make Dr. Caldwell essential for the bishopric and indispensable to the A. M. E. Church, are:
"First, he loves his God, his church and the race.
"Second, he is prepared thoroughly literally and theologically, from three viewpoints: scholastically, scientifically and practically.
"Third, he loves his men; as providing older, he helps his men and instructs them in all things best for the development of the church, thomasprave and the
AttorneyHoffmanTakesUp Dent Killing With Banton
Herman Hoffman, attorney, at 233 Broadway, New York City, who was one of the attorneys defending Luther ("Curly") Boddy, has been retained by a group of citizens and members of the family of the late Herbert Dent, who was beaten to death in the West 135th street station house on June 27 while under arrest, to make an investigation into the circumstances of the boy's death, following up the investigation projected by THE NEW YORK AGEN.
Mr. Hoffman, who has refused to accept any retaining fee, but who is giving his service without charge, has written the following letter to District Attorney Joah H. Banton, requesting to be allowed to examine a transcript of whatever inquiry the District Attorney's office has made, and asking for that official's cooperation in clearing up the matter. Mr. Hoffman's letter is as follows:
As you know, I have been deeply interested in the ever growing problem of ruthless police brutality committed upon citizens in the form of the ancient but despicable "Third Degree," and more particularly the subject of practice recently in the 38th Police Prescinct of this City.
I yield to no one in my esteem and respect of the great majority of the rank and file of the police of this City, but it must be conceded, as the records of our courts, and even your office, can demonstrate, there are men among them who are a disgrace to the uniform they dishonor, and whom the interests of justice demand should be weeded out and punished.
A body of citizens and the family of the late Herbert Dent, have offered me a retainer to conduct an investigation into the circumstances that resulted in the death of this colored boy on June 27th fast. I have, however, declined to accept any renumeration for what I believe to be a great public service that should receive the active cooperation of every public spiritful citizen who believes in fair play.
I understand that after a rather hasty examination on the part of your office immediately following the death of Herbert Dent, the police of the 38th Prescinct were exonerated of blame, and the killing of this boy justified on the theory of self-defense. Mr Moore, one of the editors of a paper devoted to the cause of the colored race, Tirr New York Act, and an eminently fair and high minded citizen of the community conducted a personal investigation that led the citizens to believe that this lad was deliberately and brutally murdered. Mr. Moore informs me that he has communicated with you and forwarded the names of a number of witnesses who could enlighten the authorities on the subject, but as yet, no action has been taken. My own investigation of the matter has convinced me that the most material witnesses who were actually present—one of whom, I am informed, participated in the slaying—had not been called, and it appears that a strong effort has been made to conceal and withhold the names of such persons.
I should be very glad to cooperate with you in bringing to light and spartly justice, the actual solution of what appears to have been a most disastrous, premeditated and unjustified attack upon a colored lad which brought about his untimely death.
It is now over two months since this boy's dead body was carried out of the 38th Police Prescinct, and I think you will agree with me that if a murder has been committed, it is a publicandal and a travesty upon justice that the guilty ones have not yet been apprehended.
If you will let me leave, or examine a transcript of the inquiry thus far conducted by you, I feel confident that the stigma now resting upon the police of the above named precinct in particular, and upon the Force in general, will be quickly removed by vindication of the principle of justice, namely, that it applied to not only the citizens, but to those who are sworn to uphold and enforce the law as well.
Very truly yours.

Located on Seward avenue at 131st street, the store can be easily reached by the colored people of the neighborhood, and although it has been doing a successful business it should have many more customers than now patronize it. Such experienced men as those who run this business assure to customers good shoes at lowest possible prices. This business carries a stock valued at about $5,000, and expects to start a campaign to sell more stock in the near future, so that a larger and more stock of shoes may be purchased for their increasing number of patrons.

Baltimore, Md.-Bishop W. Sampson Brooks of the A. M. E. Chruda, who presides over the Liberia and Sierra Leone conferences, with headquarters at Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa, will have to change his plans with reference to transporting a herd of American cattle for use by African natives. A herd of Holstein cows, purchased in New Jersey, will remain in America because this cattle strain will not be able to stand the African climate.
This decision was reached by the prelate following a conference between Secretary of Agriculture and experts of that department and Bishop Brooks on the matter of the kind of cattle best suited to African conditions. It is thought that suitable cows will be secure by the bishop from South America.

On Saturday evening, August 26, the Rev. J. K. Humphrey, pastor, and his congregation of the Harlem Seventh Seventh Day Adventist Church took formal possession of the building situated on top of the still on east side of Seventh avenue, 139th and 140th streets, known to New Yorkers as the Lybia, a resort wherein has congregated nightly scores of devotees of jazz and followers of Bacchus.
With the new regime there comes a change in the uses which the old building will serve, for the S. D. A. people are opening there the Harlem Academy, a school for children of all creeds, which enters now upon its third year of successful striving. Dr. Humphrey and his folks organized the school in September, 1920, in the basement and balconies of the Harlem S. D. A. Church, West 131st street, with one hundred children and three teachers. The 1921 term was opened with 150 pupils and five teachers, with J. L. Morgan as principal, R. C. Smith, E. M. Lane, Miss Rebecca Yenden and Mrs. E. M. Lane are the teachers.
It is said. It is alleged that officers of the law had to be called in before the former tenants could be persuaded to leave.
The building has been thoroughly renovated at considerable expense, with new fixtures, painted throughout she inside, with the grounds thoroughly cleaned. The ample grounds surrounding the building will be devoted to playgrounds for children of the school and neighborhood. It is estimated that rental of the property and salaries of the faculty will approximate $1,000 monthly. The school is supported by the S. D. A. denomination, and it is worthy of note that liberal contributions are received from many others than members of the church. It is declared that residents of the neighborhood are delighted that the school is to be located in this place, and it is expected that a radical change in the surroundings will result.

Further evidence of the manner in which His Majesty, President-General Garvey, is controlling the U. N. L. A. is seen in the results of balloting for the elective officers. According to the official report of the proceedings, when the announcement was made that nominations were in order for President-General and Administrator, the convention was literally stamped. It was a race in which every delegate present wanted to have the honor of naming the Hon. Marcus Garvey as the monarchical head of the organization.
This honor was finally accorded Jacob-Slappey of Virginia, who made the motion, and Milton Vernon of Seattle, Wash., who seconded it. By motion of H. F. Carroll of Indiana, seconded by R. L. Tobitt of British Guiana, the nominations were closed, no opponent being named. H. V. Plummer then moved that the Honorable Marcus he declared the unanimous choice of the body, and this was done amid wild acclaim.
The newly elected head of the organization did not seem to relish the manner in which his election was received. He evidently was of the opinion that such bidity was out of place in the selecting of a king, for he came forward and roundly scored his adherents for their "yelling, shrieking, uttering cat-calls and making all kinds of demonstrations of approval." He reminded them that elections should be conducted orderly and without undue demonstration. The rebuke was taken submissively and quietly.

Only the President-General was elected at this session, Friday afternoon, but several candidates were nominated for the other four elective offices. The balloting on these began that night. Before the election was entered into, President General Garvey made a speech, thanking the body for reeled him. He announced the positions to be filled and advised the body that it must be borne in mind that men must be selected who were capable of growing with the organization, men of character, fitness and ability to serve.
He took occasion to refer to the First Assistant President-General, William H. Ferris, who was a candidate for reelection. Garvey expressed the highest admiration for Professor Ferris as a literary star, and declared him to be without a peer intellectually. But, said Mr. Garvey, as a business man he does not measure up. Reference was made to the service rendered by Mr. Ferris as first assistant to the President-General, and Garvey declared that there had been no constructive measures generated or developed by his subordinate. As literary editor of the Negro World, the work of "Sir" William H. Ferris, M. A. K. C. O. N., was of the highest order, said President-General Garvey, but literary ability was not sufficient for an Assistant President-General. So the convention was advised that Mr. Ferris was not to be reeled.

President General Garvey went further than that. From the multitude of candidates for the various offices, he presented the convention with his hand-picked slate. In the words of the official reporter published in the Negro World of the current week, The Honorable Marcus Garvey spoke to the convention in this wise:
"The association wanted capable business men, and the 1st Assistant President General especially must be well endowed in this respect. He felt it his duty to name the candidates who he thought would be of the greatest help to him in his administration. These were:

But as it was then forty-five minutes past midnight, the session was adjourned and so the second ballot had to be popped. And when it was taken on Saturday morning, Sherrill had seventeen more votes than Ferris, and so was declared elected.
The same result occurred in the election of third and fourth assistants. All opponents to the Garvey candidates were defeated and Rudolph Smith and Miss Horta Victoria Davis were respectively chosen.

FARMERS' PICNIC AT VOORHEES INSTITUTE
(Special to The New York Age).
Denmark, S. C. Thursday, August 17 was an unofficial day for painting. Lqwzring clouds gathered in the early morning hours and soon there was a downpour of rain, which compounded throughout the day, that farmers, many with their families, came from tar and near to spend the day on the campus of Voorhees Normal and Industrial School in their annual gathering.
Notwithstanding the immelement weather, the occasion was a great get-together meeting. It was out of the question to attempt an outdoor gathering, so all assembled in the spacious chapel at Kinnerhall Hall, where the exteriors were held. The audience was typically southern. Storm were in overall, some in headspin, some with their sun bones and head rags, reminding of antebellum days. The crowd was pictureque, the modern blending with old timers. The stene was inspirational. On the platform were seated leaders of both races, indicative of the oneness of mankind.
The meeting was called to order by Bernard D. Jenkins, coloured county farm communication agent and school collaborator. Then followed a free discussion of rural problems and conditions in the great black belt of South Carolina. This feature proved to be a revelation of the hardships cultured the sacrifices made, and difficulties over come. Both men and women spoke impressively out of their hearts of experiences in these days of unrest and depression. Leading white men of the community, bringing racial good will, were called to speak. C. W. Kentz, a wealthy white farmer from Bamberg, commented warmly, Voorhees and the work she began among the farmers. Laverne Martin, major of Bamberg, brought

an interesting message from the county seat. He wanted biotle deals for both races and thought that the white people need subbies like Vooress, G. A. Duckrey, an merchant from Banberg, delivered an address which breathed a clear tone of friendship. He advocated tolerance on the part of both races.
The ringing note of the afternoon was sounded by H D Calhoun, a banker from Barnwell, who stands for the things that Vooress holds as fundamental for racial development. He is a southern man that does not encourage those who wish to perpetrate race hatred. In his speech he stressed law enforcement. The meeting was remarkable in import. The air was electrically charged with interest and appreciation.
After the speaking all repaired to Bedford Hall where the barbecue had been brought from the grove. All enjoyed the toothsome feast.
Voorhees is a school for the ruralists, the poor, the uneducated, those who are in need of moral improvement. It was the determination of Miss Elizabeth Wright, its founder, to create a healthy, uplifting and invigorating atmosphere for the swarthy lads and maidens on these farms bordering the campus of Voorhees. It costs much to give these annual prizes, but they are fully worth while in soil improvement: "The teachers of the institution receive a biggyly salary. All lovers of humanity are urged to consider this work and the workers among the lowly, and humble. The school should be largely endowed in order to better do this work."

EDITOR BROWN SCORES
NEW ORLEANS CITIZENS
(B. V. R. THOMAS)
New Orleans, La. - James F. Browne, whose name and title were dropped from the masthead of the New Orleans Bulletin, the week following his editorial criticism of the alleged long talks of L. B. Moore, formerly of Howard University, who was here in the interest of the National Negro Business League meeting at Northville, Va., and incidently in behalf of his own business as a dealer in stocks and bonds in New York City, has come back and in his name and title are after a week, again on the editorial page of the Bulletin as editor and manager.
In coming back, Prof Browne uses a double column for an editorial, in which he refers to an offending editorial on the episode in which Prof. Moore was made by him to figure as a long talker and the only one that had a chance to speak at a socalled "conference" of business and professional people held in Braden's Astoria Hotel, when Moore has as his name, according to Browne, "DON'T BANK YOUR SAVINGS; INVEST THEM THROUGH ME." Browne says Moore went on to advise, "Savings banks were for timid women and the over-rich who were satisfied with their money and shunned the bother of looking after investments; that profits of 100 per cent and 150 per cent were easily in the reach of all and surely who would invest in such carefully selected stock as he would advise." Moore talked on this line, Browne said, during a nearly three hour "conference."
The Bulletin editor says he could not take seriously this reputed "gentleman of great renown as an educator" and that he has "since talked to no disinterested person who did."
Coming back at what he terms "A group of colored leaders(?), many of whom have never subscribed for the Bulletin, and some others who have given but 'perfunctionary' support to its efforts," these men gathered Wednesday evening, July 9. he says, "at Braden's Astoria Hotel, called in Dr. Lucas, one of the three owners of the paper and made it plain to him that all their giftofs would henceforth be directed towards killing the Bulletin unless there was a change of policy and editor."
Prof. Browne concludes:
"And a group of men who have contributed not one penny to the upkeep of the Bulletin, who have done nothing at all their long lives for the people of this city, who have never engaged in an unselfish art for the public welfare, get together and threaten to deprive the citizens of this community of the only mouth-piece they have, because we do not see our way to boost fake schemes and praise selfish and unworthy men."
In reply to the "rap" the come-back editor of the *Bulletin* has given the group of alleged "selfish and unworthy men," friends of this group say nobody in the alleged meeting at the Astoria Hotel on the evening of July 9, except Dr. Lucas, said a word about "killing" the *Bulletin*; that those who took part in the meeting, other than Dr. Lucas, only spoke their mipds to Dr. Lucas about his editor and manager and called him, in and spoke it to him because of his achievements and his well-known interest in the race, and because he was not attempting to feather his own neat out of the picking of feathers from men who have grown up with the community and are respected by the people, people who do not expect, to see him hold his trust any night and speak to parts unknown, like a stranger within their

White Men Go To Prison For Rape on Small Girl
Wentworth, N. C.—In the Rockingham county Superior Court, Judge Brock presiding, two white men, Harry Burgess and Buck Odell, were convicted of criminal assault on a 12-year-old-colored girl and sentenced to ten years at hard labor. Just before final adjournment of court, however, Judge Brock recalled the prisoners and reduced their sentences to five years for Burgess and three for Odell. The crime was committed on the outskirts of Spray, where the girl, with a number of other children, was picking blackberries. The two white men had been drinking, it was testified; and both had bad reputations. In reducing the sentences, Judge Brock stated that he was acting for the sake of Odell's sisters.

New Jersey
PLAINFIELD. N. I.
Plainfield, N. J.—No what the twenty-third annual convention of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. is over, proof has been thoroughly established in the minds of both pairs that the order is worthy of the name of being composed of the best people on earth. During the grand parade in Newark on Tuesday, you could hear people all around you say that they had never seen such a gorgeous spectacle. The costumes worn by both the Elks and Daughter Elks surpassed any ever worn in a parade in New Jersey. We take pleasure in making special mention of Mohawk Lodge, No. 307 and Mohawk Temple, No. 92, which were well represented at the convention and in the parade. Deafening applause was given the faithful members of the lodge, and also the Daughter Elks. When Miss Louise Stales came along with a little Indian pappose on her back she looked to be the cutest thing in the parade and received loud praise. Mohawk Lodge did not win any prize, yet it was satisfied that this lodge had done more than any other lodge in making their name a worthy one. Cheer up Bill, there are good things in store for you in the near future.
The Christian spirit shown by the Rev J. P. W Collier, who addressed the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. on Monday evening, August 21, should be highly commended. Rev Collier refused to even accept carefare to and from his home in Rahway, N. J., or any pay for the eloquent address delivered. Said he in part, "We have been voting the Republican ticket for fifty years with no beneficial results, to us, but in twelve years the N. A. A. C. P. has secured the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill through Congress, and yet we have some people who hesitate to pay one dollar to help defray the expense of putting this bill through the Senate." High esteem is also held for the regular members who seldom miss a meeting.
A reception and dance was tendered Miss Alice Brown of Webster place and Shady Rest on Wednesday evening, August 23, in honor of her recent graduation. The affair was fostered by Mrs. M. Caty, Mrs. Sarah Caldwell, and about fifty friends. Music, dancing and a fine collation were the features of the evening. Several solos were sung by Miss Reha Orderbridge, and remarks of appreciation were made by Miss Brown. Little John Collier, Jr., of Rahway, M. J., was the guest last week of his many friends here, including Miss Mary Jones of East Jnd street. Mr. and Mrs. Shipley of Richmond street, accompanied by Mrs. Kline of Arlington avenue, enjoyed a motor trip to Sea Girt and Ashbury Park on Sunday, August 20. Mrs. Ruth, Foster of New York is visiting her mother, Mrs. M. A. Alc, ander of Plainfield avenue. Miss Louise Alexander of East 4th street has returned home after a pleasant visit to Bar Harbor, Me.

SETTING RIGHT STANDARDS.
Governor N. E. Kendall of Iowa made a significant statement in an address recently made by him at Des Moines in welcoming the delegates of a beneficial organization of the race, who came from all parts of the country. The Governor was introduced as a former member of the House of Representatives, who determined a colored woman from insult white ruling in a Washington, D. C. street car, the offender being a white man. According to the report which appeared in the Hamas City Cc.' Governor Kendall made this pertinent plea for fair standards in comparison between the two rates:
My race in its judgment of your
always has established an unlawful
and which it would refuserogunt-
name of suggested to us an ap-
provement. When we institu-
tively can cover the Louisiana race we demand
to be billed for our best and not by
our waters. We refer not to Francis
Benton but to William Shakespeare,
for Frederick Arnold but to George
Washington in John C. Calliphn-
bury as John Larkin but to Ren
Thomas in Northampton. All
the prizes of legatee but when
we are in the court of our own
race we are in his possession we
are in his possession. In our own
race we are in his possession. We re-
ceive a prize at the criminal griev-
ship on the same arm, instead of Louisiana. Luzerne, the warrior martial of Montana, we erect the uniform garrison who lives in the civil wars, instead of Washington, the Resolution-maker who seizes blood was the first American independence, we mount the integrated percent of the military unarmed instead of Federal Douglas, the entire unarmed in the Lighthouse sign. We recruit the American ground and repatriate at the Dockside, instead of Brower I. We bring in about half of the war was an inspiring example of devotion and sacrifice. I appeal to the whole people of America. We will never start to begin a community a sensitive union of the American people until we are strong enough and just enough to correct this moment in time.
The essential instance of his appeal for fair judgment should commend, it to every right thinking American. What is needed is a greater number of big-hearted and broad-minded Americans like Governor Kendall, who know the facts and have the courage to tell them to the public. The proper standards for the judgment of the American Negro can only be established by educating the public to a better knowledge of these standards. Every utterance like that of Governor Kendall's works an advance in the standards of comparison used to measure the darker race.
BUILDING FOR BUSINESS
The recent meeting of the National Negro Business League at Norfolk emphasized the fact that the race is building for business in earnest. The report of the Committee on Resolutions set forth that in spite of hard times the condition of the Negroes not without encouraging features. The business conducted by the poor business with failures and has suffered losses, but apparently the preparation has not been so high as with others. In some cases failures have brought about better organizations and improved business methods.
It was found that in the building and other trades the Negroes have not only been able to hold their own, but have made advances in some sections. The continued migration of members of the race northward, would seem to indicate that this class of labor is making good under severe competition. In the commercial lines marked advances were noted, including chain stories representing hundreds of thousands of dollars. The growth of both banking and insurance institutions was also marked, the policies issued by the latter concerns now amounting to more than five hundred millions dollars.
One of the constructive acts of the organization was the creation of a fund to stimulate the growth of new business. By means of this workers will be placed in the field to talk business and to organize our business men into cooperative organization. The need for efficiency in the conduct of business enterprises was constantly emphasized. It was stated that ignorance was a greater handicap to successful business than dishethesty. Trained business assistants were pronounced a necessity.
All in all, the convention was a source of progress to those present and a
practical demonstration that the needs of successful business operations are unprogressed and will ultimately be met through this organization.
TITLES AND THEIR USES
The erudite editor of the New World was kind enough to unbend from his unrevealing of the destinies of Africa long enough to read the editors of Tuex Acta, a little lecture on the proper use of titles. This distinguished courtesy was properly appreciated by those to whom it was addressed, and while not disputing the title information dispensed, it would appear that the custom<sup>1</sup> and usage advocated by the World editor are all based upon English precedents and distinctions.
Why the Universal Negro Improvement Association should have its system of awarding titles and orders of merit on the British system, instead of an American of at least an African system, is not entirely clear to us. The editor of the Negro World declared that the titles in question, are awarded by the organization and not by any foreign potentate, not even by the so-called "Provisional President of Africa". This, of course, is in the nature of a special pick, to ward off doubt of the eligibility of "Nir" William H. Ferris, the editor of the Negro World, running as a primary candidate for nomination for Congress.
The hawkering after high sounding titles is one of the weaknesses of human nature, not being confined to any race or color. While the founders of the American republic banned the use of titles of nobility and other distinctions from the constitution, there was a tendency to use such terms as "His Excellency" in referring to those high in office. The lack of high-sounding titles for public offices has been compensated in part by the many secret orders and societies that duh their members and officers as "Most Pursuant"; "Worthy Exalted" and other pleasing adjectives.
Mr. Garvey would have been more consistent of he had adhered to his scheme of African salvation in his choice of titles. Instead of commonplace English handles as the "Duke of Uganda" and the "Duke of the Nile," he should have distributed such month-filled morsels as "Negus of Abyssima." "Alake of Alokuta," "Begum of Bananaaland," etc. From the time honored title of the "Akhound of Swat," might have been rescued to save the situation.
We think in handing out titles to willing and unwilling recipients. Mr. Garvey and his associates tailed to play the right cards. They had trump up their sleeves but threw off from an odd sort of English imitations. Play the real African titles next time and the game will be improved at least.
A WIDE OPEN HARLEM.
According to those who pretend to know their Harlem "everything is wide open in the language of the law breaker and the law exader. The sale of liquor, or what is passed out as liquor, is said to be open and apparent to the most casual observers. The sole effect of prohibition entitlement is practiced in this district seems to be to make liquor flow where it never flowed before. Outside of the case and drug stores, the seeker after forbidden beverages can be supplied in such places as stationery stores, delicatessen shops and other small retailers who have a "boobleg" as a side line.
Other evidences of this "wide open" condition are the increasing number of gambling dens and rabaret resorts, which also have their "bootleg" attachment, for the purveying of alcoholic stimulants denatured or otherwise Verry little effort seems to be made by either the local or Federal authorities to enforce the prohibition laws or to close up the gambling dens and other resorts. It may be that it is difficult to secure the necessary evidence of the violations complained of, but the existence of such places and their harmful results are a matter of general knowledge and current group.
EQUALITY OF PRIVILEGES FOR WOMEN.
Mrs. Anna Garlin Spencer in a recent lecture at Teachers' College, Columbia University, said "Women cannot have freedom, equality o frights, economic independence and equal opportunity of self-development with men and at the same time claim from men, as many women. I am sorry to say, are trying to do today, the same kind of privileges that chivalrous and good hearted men used to give to their mothers, sisters and friends when those mothers, sisters and friends were absolutely dependent upon them."
Mrs. Spencer is an advanced woman, is a Unitarian minister, an educator, a peace advocate and a prominent suffragist, and so naturally, she takes the position that women should be willing to forgo the privileges and indulgenecies which spring from so-called chivalry and should take her chances in the open field of equal opportunity. She cited a number of advantages to be gained by following such a course. She pointed out that women have only recently had any real freedom of choice in marriage and that the economic independence of woman now gives her the opportunity, when a man asks her to marry him, to take into consideration the question whether she likes the man well enough to give up her economic independence for the sake of living with him.
The civil influence exerted by this condition of a "wide open town" immune from police interference and control is widespread. It is not only an attraction for serious characters of all sorts, who are drawn to the district by such immunity, but the merely giddy and thoughtless amusement seekers of both sexes are gathered into the crowd and contaminated by the contact. In the interest of the welfare of the community and the restriction of vice, street supervision should be maintained over the resorts of this character.
She admitted that the new freedom has increased divorce because women now can no longer be held to intolerable conditions in marriage any more so than can men. Following up the theme of marriage, she expressed the opinion that women being now economically almost free are again to a large extent the selective agents and that they will erose and thereby create the type of men they desire. Formerly the type of man most desired, she said, was a good provider: that "now character and self-control have become part of our masculine ideal and women, if they are wise, will use their new power to help make a race of men as good as they are strong, as far removed from the barbarian heroes of former days as one can imagine."
A wide, open district in the moral sense is a greater menace than a wide open sewer. The latter affects only the physical health of the community, but the former undermines both the moral and physical systems. To stop this contamination of the community, the authorities should put a stop to open violations of the law and prevent the multiplication of questionable resorts in respectable neighborhoods.
All that Mrs. Spencer says is true as far as it goes, but it does not go so far as she proposes. Her generalities are too broad. When she speaks of women she has in mind women who are actually or potentially the kind of woman she is. But it is easy to see that this supposition leads to error. All women are not alike, either actually or potentially. There is a class of women more or less like Mrs. Spencer who not only in these modern times but through all ages have chafed under and protested against the conditions which gave them privileges and indulgencies but which limited them to being dependents or sycophants. That is the class of women that has incessantly struggled for a wider field and for independence and which has today emerged as the new woman, the woman who has achieved her economic independence and who is ready to compete with men in constructive and creative work.
"The Republicans of Colorado, in their State convention which met at Denver last month, urged the United States Senate to pass without delay the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. This shows that the sentiment for Federal action against mob violence is spreading.
The St. Louis Argus, with every evidence for reckless driving, asked:
How about a "Truth Week." That is, everybody tell the truth just for one week.
The results would probably be more confusing and less amusing than those pictured in the play entitled "Nothing But the Truth," which must have
class→that has neither the desire nor the power to achieve such independence. The women of this class make up what might be called the "sheltered type" of women. The very thought of struggle and competition for the necessities of life and for position would be not only distasteful to them but overwhelming. Such women shudder and shrink from the very thought.
And so Mrs. Spencer's appeal to women to seize the new freedom is an appeal, after all, to only one class' of women, the women who are fitted mentally and physically to answer the call. It is an error to think that all women will ever answer such a call, because all women are not and never will be alike.
But in this respect women do not differ from men. It is an error to think that all men are fitted for competition and struggle and combat in an open and equal field. Most men are workers, it is true, and earn a livelihood; but for that matter, so are most women, even of the sheltered class. The average housewife works about as hard as the average man and earns every nickel that her husband may give her; and the average man is as dependent upon his employer for his livelihood as the average housewife is upon her husband for her food, clothes and lodging. The men who are able in the face of struggle and competition to make a place of relatively economic independence make up a class of men that does not constitute a majority. There is a class of men and women that can stand on their own initiative, their own courage and their own powers, asking only for equal opportunity and a fair chance. Also there is a class of women and likewise of men who cannot do this but require to be sheltered or provided for in one way or another.

We are no longer surprised when a Negro wins a prize as an orator at Harvard or Yale or develops into an athletic star, or writes a remarkable book, or accomplishes any other feal that depends upon his own powers. But when a Negro leaves $100,000 to a worthy cause, we must confess that it does attract unusual attention because it is so rarely that such a thing is done. Not that many Negroes have not died and left $100,000, and even more, but the cases in which they have left $100,000, $50,000, or even $10,000 to any worthy cause or institution are so few and wide apart that most persons would be compelled to say that they had never heard of a single one.
A dispatch in the Cleveland "Plaindealer" states that James L. French, a business man of Sandusky, left practically all of his $100,000 estate for the benefit of Oberlin College, the income on the principal for fifty years to be given to the trustees for the benefit of "deserving Afro-American students," and at the end of fifty years the principal to be used for same purpose. The will specifies that the bequest is to go to Wilberforce University if Oberlin does not accept it.
Just why Mr. French did not leave his money to Wilberforce in the first place we do not know. He may have felt that his gift would be instrumental in turning Oberlin's attitude toward colored students, which in recent years has changed so much, back to what it was years ago.
Mr. French accomplished a remarkable achievement by gathering a fortune of $100,000. In bequeathing his fortune to a great institution for the benefit of the youth of his grace he has achieved something more vital, far-reaching and noble.
PREACHERS AND DANCING.
There is a certain type of preacher who when he has exhausted his round of pulpit topics, lappaches out in a violent fulmination against dancing as a deadly sin, to the delight of the case-hardened sinners in his congregation, who do not number dancing among their accomplishments. A preacher at this sort in Norfolk recently preached a sermon of this character to several thousands and people, who acquired in his wholesale denomination of dancing, while greater皿 were ignored.
Vulgarity in dancing, the indecentity of conduct in many diversion, should be frowned upon and discountened by all right thinking people. Dancing under proper attire and completed with decency and decorum is a graceful form of exercise and a favorite diversion for the youth of both sexes. The stiff and unbending attitude of certain religious denominations in putting dancing, attending the剧院 and other amusements on the prohibited list, has failed to produce beneficial results. It has driven many young people out of the church when strength enforced, and in other cases has proved a dead letter. In the Methodist Episcopal Church, many efforts have been made to modify the discipline in this respect, but without success, saving it is said to the opposition of the colored delegates in the general convention.
Not all members of the colored ministries are so unfriendly in their opposition to dancing. A more progressive type has come to recognize that dancing may be included in by members of the church in a manner that does not offend the moral concerns of the community. Provision has even been made for this diversion in the institutional work maintained by some churches. Under such auspices and with the careful supervision exercised by those in charge, no tendency toward vulgar dancing has been permitted.
The professional instructors of dancing who recently met in convention in New York City, had considerable to say about the vulgar features that have characterized song of the ultra modern dances. A male teacher was inclined to place the greater part of the responsibility for the arm-around-the-neck-strangle-hold and the check-to-check-posture to the female partner. A woman teacher put the blame for such departures from propriety as fifty-fifty or equally divided. Moreover, her experience led her to believe that the vulgarities commonly observed in such dancing weer due more to ignorance than viciousness.
The remedy would seem to be proper instruction of the young people in dancing under safe auspices. This is a solution of the question, in which the enlightened members of the ministry might will take a part. Instead of indiscriminate denunciation of all dancing as amusement, let them seek to purge the diversion of vulgarity and preserve the beneficial features of it. By such a policy the presumption will be maintained.
THE NEW YORK AGE: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1922.
MARCUS GARVEY'S INFERIORITY . COMPLEX.
In reply to certain statements made by William Pickens regarding the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Marcus Garvey is quoted in the "Negro World" of August 19 as delivering himself as follows:
"You know some of us lose knowledge of ourselves sometimes. In the tropics, where I come from, you will find every well-to-do Negro losing knowledge of himself. That is, the moment a white man amies with him, puts him on the shoulder and invites him to dinner for once, he loses knowledge of himself, and starts to believe that he is a white man. I wonder if anybody has patted Pickens on the shoulder; I wonder if anybody has taken Pickens by the hand; I wonder if anybody has invited Pickens to dinner and I would not doubt that he has been invited to dinner, because I have seen him recently very much in the company of white folks, and any time a Negro gets into the company of white folks he becomes a dangerous Negro."
Has Mr. Garvey any realization of the revelation he is making of himself when he expresses such a sentiment as the above? Evidently, Mr. Garvey does not see that he is placing himself in a position far more contemptible and ignominious than the one in which he seeks to place Mr. Pickens. When Mr. Garvey expresses the belief that at any time a Negro associates with white people he feels so flattered that he becomes a boot-licking syphonant and a parasite, he is revealing what the Freudian psychologists would call an inferiority complex.
What becomes of Mr. Garvey's boasts about the equality and even the superiority of the Negro if within himself he feels that a Negro cannot sit down with a white man, look him in the face and talk with him, or eat with him—in a word, that a Negro and a white man cannot extend to each other the simple courtesies of life—without the Negro feeling himself greatly flattered and having his head turned? If this is true, any boasts about the Negro's equality is sheer humbug. If this is true, the future of the N. N. I. A. under Mr. Garvey's leadership hangs on a very slender thread.
Suppose some day a white man should invite Mr. Garvey to dinner and he did summon enough courage to go. According to his beliefs, the Negroes of the U. N. L. A. would from that hour henceforth be minus a Moses. It appears that Mr. Garvey's only security in maintaining his sense of equality and superiority is to steer clear of white folks.
Mr. Garvey pretends to speak for the colored people in the tropics where he came from. We feel more inclined to believe that he is speaking for his own subconscious self and that he is expressing the way he would feel if "patted on the shoulder" by a white man. However, Mr. Garvey knows more about the people of his home than we do. But, we can give him the information that in the United States, at least, there are hundreds and thousands of colored people who can and do associate with white people and without feeling themselves in any way flattered by the association. They take it simply as a matter of common human relations, as a matter of course. We can also inform Mr. Garvey that there are masses of white people with whom these same hundreds and thousands of colored people in the United States would refuse to associate.
We can also inform Mr. Garvey that there are a great many white people in the United States who can and do associate with colored people without being in any degree condescending or patronizing, they, too, take such association simply as a matter of common human relations, as a matter of course.
Any colored man who feels like Mr. Garvey, that no Negro can associate with white people without feeling flattered and becoming a bootticker may well question whether or not he actually does believe in his own equality.
If Mr. Garvey cannot understand the implications of his attack on Mr. Pickens he ought to go and have himself psychoanalyzed, and he will find that he has an inferiority complex. His over loud boastings about his own equality are obvious indications of that complex.

from various tendencies and kept within the religions influence of the church.
An interesting symptom of the times is the outcropting of favorable comment on the political future of Henry Ford of Michigan in certain race journals, especially in the South. For instance, the Supreme Circle News, published at Albany, (ga.) says:
If we were asked as to the most popular man in the United States we would immediately say Ford. For were it put to a vote of all the people, Ford would have Muscle Shoals and the Presidency, and inasmuch as it concerns us Harding would be perfectly welcome to have a job at Muscle Shoals. We are sure Ford could provide for the place. He has provided other places and we believe him equal to this should the emergency arise. Give Ford a free hand and he will show us something as well.
The basis for this unbounded friendliness toward Mr. Ford's political and financial aspirations is not stated. Can it be the part played by the output of the Detroit factories in avoiding the discontents of traveling "pimcrow"? Perhaps.
A Negro Progress Convention was projected for British Guiana, which moved the Georgetown Tribune to say among other things:
What we consider to be the prime necessity of the Negro or colored men here is a system of education such as the (Mississippi Club in Washington, U. S.) has recently issued in connection with Howard University, which some time ago was graced by the presence of Marshall Foch who had accepted an honorary degree of the University. Just at this time there are to be found at home many persons of Negro descent who are from the mining area in the several districts of the Colony; and as these would undoubtedly desire to have initiated some active campaign to secure improved transport facilities we throw out the suggestion to them to attend the convention where it is possible their special wants may form one of the subjects for discussion.
The diamond mining industry has experienced a boom in British Guiana, which explains the reference to the need for improved transportation. With such practical objects as that and education in view, the convention should not be at a loss as to where to direct its efforts.
The St. Louis Trench, in a bitter editorial headed "What Fools We Negroes Be," reviewed the increasing need for making industrial openings for the race. It said:
What does it all mean? It means that we should expect not more but less and less to come in by the grant and favor. It means that unless we are fools we shall get busy; busy building by our own labor and sweat and dollars the opportunities which are the desires of our hearts.
Century after century the white man has patiently toiled to build up what he has, and however far advanced he seems to be at present, let us never forget there was a beginning to his efforts that have kept tradition in American life.

A FINANCIAL COLUMN
Editor of THE NEW YORK ACR
Your inquiring article last in week's issue, "Kind of Paper Wanted," very timely one. Such a question it shews the alert and progressive spirit of your paper, showing a desire to publish news that will be of interest to your readers at all times. In my opening of a "Financial Column" are articles which would deal with prices and wages on our paper, colored paper, interested in which to my mind make it. Act to the colored people of America what the London Times is to the people of England. At this time particularly our people are interested in stocks, bonds, etc. having a desire for larger returns than the banks are offering, as a column giving advice on contemplated investments (after due investigation) will help many persons to determine sending money after bad speculations.

After reading last Saturday's issue of THR Ack, I am constrained to express an opinion which has long been in mind in answer to your question of certainty. The kind: Paper Warner, all readers of THR Ack, agree that your paper is one of the best ordered books in THR Ack, based upon its editorial page. An eight page paper does not meet the needs of the race and its readers who are required to wait seven days between issues. If the Chicago Defender is able to proclaim issue a twenty-page paper, it is reasonable to suppose THR Ack can do the same thing. In such a case THR Ack would be in position to add was classed sheets that will naturally interest a greater number of readers such as a Women's Page, funny sheets, children, short stories, social page. It seems to me that the City of New York alone would make a real estate page in THR Ack, unsurpassable would stimulate their race to increase their real estate holdings and owning their own homes. Then last week least, the psychic influence of a twenty-page Ack would increase utilization and demand, which would gratifying to both THR Ack and readers.

SPECIAL NEWS WRITERS
Editor of Two New York Agents
Replining to your editorial in this week's publication—"What Kind Paper Wanted?" in brief, I would suggest that you eliminate long write-ups, marriages, funerals, prints and conventions, either church or war. In place of these items (which you take nearly all the space in Negro papers, except the few ads it can insert spice letters, such as appear in your last issue over the signature Victor P. Thomas of New Orleans), I dare say (if you will pay the paper writers in Mr. Thomas's class can be cured, who will furnish you with readable matter each week and the reading public will buy your paper in order to keep in touch with these writers through thoughts. Letters such as I have mentioned appearing in your paper each week from staff correspondents now where in Louisiana, one from Texas one from Arkansas, and one from Chicago, Washington, Boston, Raleigh or Atlanta, will give the reading the news wanted from these various situations of our country. It is not possible, however, to furnish reliable news and you should publish it with censoring. Follow up these letters to strong editors, either approving disapproving the subject matter who will create an interest in your paper such as you never had before. I hope you try my suggestion and see what follows.

Some are born that way, prejuicing others are open to reason. Little things often awaken the liberty and Americanism. Little things like music—big music. In fact, there is no better ameliorative measure for understanding of races than the exchange of arts. Through the Negro and his music will there grow a more tolerant and more ameliorous black?

These three dark-skinned children were not below the average in mental and physical alertness was evidenced in an unmistakable manner when the program was begun. In every instance where a colored child took part in the program, it was either as a leader or as one of the most prominent participants.

cut into a long dresscoat, topped with a high crown pink paper, beaver. A group of larger children from the same school gave a scene from the health playlet, "The Royal Court of Milkland," and the bert rendered number was a song by little 9-year-old Katherine Mason.
Perhaps the most striking incident of the afternoon, though, was the fact that of the large number of teachers taking part in the assembly, from all sections of the city, it was a talented young colored girl who presided at the piano and played the accompaniments for nearly every number on the program. This young woman was Miss Lydia Maason, of 45 West 60th street, a Fisk University student, of whose talent and ability I have often written. She is engaged during the Summer vacation as pianist and teacher at the Ethical Culture School, and was selected by Mr. Allen, director of music, as accompanist for this special program.
MUSIC NOTES
PULLMAN EMPLOYES TO
FORM MUSICAL BODIES
The Pullman News of May, 1922, a publication issued in interest of employees of the Pullman Company, told of a movement that will probably prove to be one of the most farreaching in a musical way that the race has ever been concerned in. It is the organization of the Pullman Porters' Chorus, with orchestra and band auxiliaries, units being formed at each of the main headquarters of the various Pullman divisions.
To develop this proposition the company has employed Major N. Clark Smith, one of the best equipped musicians of the race, formerly director of band music at Tuskegee Institute, and for eight years leader of the 8th Illinois regimental band. He has already made definite and considerable progress with the Chicago employees, having organized a chorus, band and orchestra, with several quartet units.
Major Smith is now in New York City, working with the men at Pennsylvania and Grand Central. Terminals, and he has gotten together a band of some twenty-five pieces, composed of men who possessed their own instruments. His work will be told of in more detail in a later issue.
TYLER, MUSICIAN AND COMPOSER, VISITS N.Y.
Gerald Tyler, supervisor, of music in Sumner High School, St. Louis, Mo. was in the city last week looking after his musical interests. Several of his compositions are published by Schirmer, Inc., and three of his songs, "Heart of Fafity," "Daisies," and "A Syrian Love Song," are being featured by Charles Hackett, the great American tenor of the Metropolitan, Opera Co.
The specific intent of Mr. Tyler's visit was to have a conference with Walter Damroach, who is editing a new school song book, which is to contain examples of the best works of famous American and European composers, Mr.

Damrosch requested Mr. Tyler to take part in this work and submit it to him lyrics for three songs. The young colored composer set one of the lyrics to music and this was turned over to Mr. Damrosch and his confreres. So pleased was this distinguished musician with Mr. Tyler's work that it was accepted just as written, without change or suggestion. The three songs will be incorporated in the new school song book. Mr. Damrosch took occasion to pay a high personal tribute to Mr. Tyler, referring to him as a great American musician.
While in the city Mr. Tyler was the guest of Charles D. Isaacson, editor of the Evening Moir's "Family Music Page," at the Moir's radio concert broadcast at Fort Wood, Bedloe's Island, on Thursday evening, August 24. For this concert Mr. Tyler sang two of his songs, "Shine On, Mr. Moon," and "A Syrian Love Song," playing his own accompaniment. He was later entertained by Mr. Isaacson at the latter's Greenwich Village studio, a large number of artists and musicians being present to meet him.
Last Fall, at the celebration of the centennial of St. Louis, the music for the Prologue written by Woods Stevens was composed by Mr. Tyler, who won this distinction in competition with a number of the country's greatest composers. Later, Mr. Stevens directed a pageant at Richmond, Va., and made a special request that Mr. Tyler permit him to use several of the numbers from the St. Louis centennial music, which permission was given.
In company with Tourgee DuBose pianist, a newcomer to New York, Mr. Tyler spent an hour with me at The Age office and in Deacon Johnson's studio in The Age building. It was a real pleasure to have an opportunity to hear Mr. DuBose play, and his rendition of a part of the Grieg concerto, the Chopin Exude in G flat, and an original value of his own composition, stamped him as a pianist of unusual merit. He is a graduate of Fisk and Oberlin, where he studied under Hastings, and recently located in New York City, where he is. I believe, connected with the Martin-Smith Music School.
Mr. Tyler also played and sang, giving some extracts from the music written for the St. Louis centennial, demonstrating the fact that he had won this honor on merit.

THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS
Harry Wills Hands K. O. To "Tut" Jackson in 3rd Round
Much-Touted Fighter From Ohio Makes Poor Showing
Wills Had No Chance to Extend Himself at Any Stage of the Fight, as His Opponent Was Decidedly Outclassed (By WILLIAM E. CLARK).
Twenty thousand people were at August 29, to see the widely heralded House, Ohio, put Harry Willey to a task as did his namesake in Newark on April 8. There was probably never a than Jackson. Besides being green physically by Willey, although it is reach of any fighter in the world, no opponent, and appeared to be much worse. After posing for their picture were announced as 1848 and 2117, landed the first blow to the pit of pained expression to "Tink" face. They clinched and while to gather this opponent. The referee broke the tions, he landed a blow to Willey's fight. In doing so however, he resumed in return. As he dived into a clinch, his jaw, which sent him down for round just as Jackson got to his treet out in this round.
From this time on Jackson did opponent with both hands in front, continually used this short punch to be of the fans for using the straight punch that is a blow to an opponent's neck, how he number of times during the round to York fighter did not attempt to score Jackson's blow to the head and side sent Jack in down and deserved so. So far as nighting was concerned did not fool him, opponent was some referee wail Claude. Titbits of Alba he did good work, and did not allow W behind the writer wail Tex Ricket Square Garden, and they all agreed that he was practically knocked out.
During the next year, Willey did not total any points in fighting for the opponents that they seemed to win him. Dempsey have made every effort to do so sure that he is not Dempsey's call to evade him. Why does it take the fight with an opponent who is part in Kid Roux is Clear Not Exert H

It is Clever But IExert Himself in
After Hayes at 15th Armorfortunities to Show His ReaFinal Was Filled With Ac
Twenty thousand people were at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn on Tuesday night, August 29, to see the widely heralded "Tut" Jackson of Washington Court House, Ohio, put Harry Wills to a test. Jackson made as miserable a showing as did his namesake in Newark on August 21, and was knocked out in the third round. There was probably never a greater fighter seen in action in New York than Jackson. Besides being green as a tighter he was also completely outclassed physically by Wills, although it is sad for the Ohio fighter has the highest reach of any fighter in the world, he was twenty five pounds lighter than his opponent, and appeared to be much smaller in every way.
After posing for their picture in the center of the ring, their weights were announced as 1881 and 2117, respectively, and the fight began. Wills landed the first blow to the put of his opponent's stomach which brought a pained expression to "Tut" face, that returned there through the fight. They clinched and while to gather jackson's second ordered him to slug with his opponent. The referee broke them, and by following his second instructions, he landed a blow to Wills' jaw, the only clean punch he put over during the fight. In doing so however, he received several blows in the hip and stomach in return. As he divined into a clinch, Wills sent out a short blow to his opponent's jaw, which sent him down for the count of nine. The bell ended the round just as Jackson got to his feet, and he was saved from being knocked out in this round.
From this time on Jackson did not attempt to right, but he沿台 on to his opponent with both hands most of the time. During the second round Wilks continually used this short punch to his opponent's head, and was knocked by many of the faints for using the "rabbit punch." This was not the "rabbit punch," as that is a blow to an opponent's neck. Wilks did no time during the fight his opponent back of the neck, but he did hit him in the mouth of the cars a number of times during the second round. As the next round opened, the New York fighter did not attempt to score a knockout blow, but continued to punch Jackie in his blows to the head and body. Several blows to the stomach and side sent Jackie down, and despite several attempts to grab him, he was counted out. So far as fighting was concerned the bout was not a contest, but Wilks did not feel his opponent as some of the writers of the debate stated. The referee was Claude Tulliet of Albany and everyone in my vicinity agreed that he had good work, and did not allow Wilks to be in the clouds. Seated directly behind the writer were Tess Rikard and several men connected with Madison Square Garden, and they all agreed that Jackson was not match for Wilks, and that he was practically knocked out in the first round.
During the last year, With he, that these tigers, which all together did not total our efforts of fighting for him, because it has not been supported by his companions that they cannot be given a chance to strengthen the friends at Jack Dempsey have made every effort to discredit his style of fighting. It they are to sure that he is not Dempsey's ally who then that Dempsey continues to evade him. Why does it take the champion a whole year to prepare for a fight with an opponent who is not his co.
Kid Roux is Clever But Does Not Exert Himself in Fights
Kid Roux of the 50th Infantry won an easy victory over Pete Haves of the 102nd Medical Regiment in a twelve round bout at the 15th Armory on Friday night. August 25.
Although Roux was the master of his opponent in every round, he did not appear to be doing his best because he seemed to have preferred playing with his opponent to knocking him out as he should have done.
The winner of this bout is undoubtedly one of the clearest lightweight in the game, but cleverness alone is not enough. Now that Roux has shown the Harlem public how clever he is it seems to be time he began to show how hard a fighter he is and stop trying with his opponents and playing to the gallery. Both fighters in this bout weighed 134 pounds.
In contrast to the final bout, an unusual amount of action was furnished in the seminal bout of eight rounds between Dan Stewart and Panama Billy Walker. Several weeks ago, these two fighters met, and after both contests had made all kinds of fights, Walker hit his opponent and the bout was to be awarded to Stewart on a final. So there was had blood between the two, and from the moment they entered the ring to the final bell there was fighting every minute. Stewart seemed to be the more rugged, but Walker put up one of the games night ever staged at this armory. This fight was much cleaner than the one before, and the judges' decision awarding the bout to Stewart met with the general approval of the fans. His weight was 135 pounds and that of Walker 136.
Danny Bailey was fortunate in his bout with Benny Berger of the 102nd, having lost on a foul in the third round. Many of the spectators did not see the Blow, and none believed it to be intentional. In the other preliminary bout Danny Sans and Willie Kane, two amateur fighters, fought four rounds to a draw. Both of these fighters weighed 137 pounds. The main bout was refereed by Eddie Pollock, and the others by Billy Roche and Sergeant Al Dennis.

Charles Gilpin's show continues to please large audiences at The Larasette this week. In addition to his own act, Princess Mysteria, who gives an unusually clever performance in mental trompets, and several other excellent acts on the bill, Princess Mysteria has been especially popular with the women partitions of this theatre, because of her alleged power to torment the murders. Gilpin's act is entirely different from that of last week. He is being assisted this week by Marcel Lucas, who renders an excellent trombone who, as well as several selections at the pianist.
The attraction next week at this theatre will be lack Johnson, former world's heavyweight champion, and other well known vaudeville acts.

Germantown, Pa.—For the second time has E. G. Browne of Indianapolis sent the strong Talley Holmes of Washington down to defeat in the final play for singles national tennis championship. Holmes had downed Dr. Williams of Chicago in the semi-finals. (6-4, 6-4, 1) while Browne had made a hard fight to overcome Sylvester Smith of Washington. Smith won the first ser., 0-1, and carried Browne to 7-5 before losing the second. Browne walked away with the third set, however, 0-1.
So in the finals Browne, present holder, faced again Talley, former holder, from whom the crown was wrested in 19... A hearty deluge of rain on Saturday just at noon, the hour for the play to start, delayed the finals play about four hours. Play was begun shortly before 5 o'clock. Talley put up a hard fight, losing the first set only after carrying Browne to a 7-5 score. The second set was won by the Washingtonian, 1-6, and his friends began to hope that he had come into his own again and that he would regain the title. This hope was baseless, as the Indianian proceeded to hand his eastern opponent a facing in the next two games, scores 6-4, 6-1.
Simultaneously with the men's singles, the women champs were having their duel. Mrs. Wade of New York, who lost the title last year to Miss Channels of Chicago, was again the runner-up, and faced the westerner in the finals. This was a desperately fought battle, the first set going to Miss Channels, 0-3, the second to Mrs. Wade, 3-6, and the third resolving itself into a contest that went to 8-6 before Miss Channels took the deciding game. Mrs. Wade had the set point half dozen times in the third but could not put over the winning stroke. In the men's doubles, Holmes and Smith defeated E. N. Jones of New York, Brown from 6-4, 6-4. Mixed doubles went to Dr. Williams of Chicago and Miss Channels over Mr. Wilkinson of Washington and Miss Alma Crawford of New York, 0-3, 6-2. Mrs. Wade and Mrs. Leonard triumphed in the women's doubles, beating Miss Channels and Miss Robinson, 4-6, 0-0, 6-3.
The National Championship Tennis Tournament was held under auspices of the American Tennis Association, week of August 21, on courts of the Y. W. C. A. Germantown Players were present from New York Brooklyn, New Jersey, Washington, Baltimore, Wilmington, Chicago, Indianapolis, Virginia, Georgia, Ohio, Texas and Connecticut. There were eight entries in the men's singles.
Among the New Yorkers deserving special mention for their fine work up the preliminaries and semifinals were Chick Jones, Miss Alma Crawford, Mrs. Conick and Saitch.
A number of social functions were arranged for the visitors, including a banquet, a dance at the Winter Garden on Friday night and one at the Y. W. C. A. on Saturday night.

PULLMAN PORTER NEWS
By JAMES M. HOGANS.
For the purpose of learning the official idea of the Pullman Company in organizing the potters in singing choruses, orchestras and bands, I called on Major N. Clark Smith at his hotel a few days ago. After a few remarks with the major relative to conditions, opportunities, and future of the porters I inquired if he thought the musical program of the company would materially benefit us.
The answer he made I can not give at this time as the major way directed from Mr. Hungerford's office, but I shall repeat this much, he said, "The Pullman Company has been the backbone of the North race race in America, ninety per cent of our professional men have at one time of another been in its service, as well as some of our brainstem men in other lines, these men's qualifications for dealing with many of the knotty problems which they encounter are acquired in the school called "Pullman Service." Many other things he told me that are vitally important to the porter of today and that he should know. The interview had only one bad feature and that is the only porter in this district, was present when all should have been there.
Major Smith will be at Mott Haven Yards the entire week getting the men in shape for the musical Carnival that will be given in Chicago during the Christmas Holidays. There will be a chorus of fifty voices elected to represent the New York district. Each district is to furnish fifty men for this carnival, so every man from 21 to 51 in the service can be of service in this organization. So to each porter in this district I would say go to see Major N. Clark Smith before you decide, I'm not going to bother with than thing.

The statement from Saratoga Springs, published in last weeks issue, that my wallet had been found on South Broadway, by a person living at No. 7, Jackson street, in Saratoga Springs, was not corrected. At Bailston, I found that there was no such street as Jackson street in the town, the deputy sheriff gave me his address, and I found that the house in question was made on Jackson street, Saratoga, to no avail. At the Saratoga office, I learned that a man was living at the location of "found notices" in that paper on August 19th. My wallet was lost on August 5th. "The found notice," was not only false to the fact of the finding of the wallet, but was also untrue to the finding taking place on South Broadway. I am now quite positive that the wallet was lost on South Broadway.

WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH
Hempstead T. W. G. A.
Miss Shirley C. Lewis, who recently renamed as director of Fern Rock Camp to go to the Detroit branch of the Y. W. C. A. as assistant secretary, presented the camp with a number of costumes for the evening camp-fire stunts and theatricals, and also with a book and magazine holder.
During the early part of August, Mrs. Rose Gaton and Misses Alma Marshall and Henael Thiemann have been assisting as camp counsellors. Miss George Aina Cooper relieves Mrs. Gaton for the remainder of the camp season.
Great rivalry and competition prevailed during a swimming contest held on Lake Tiorati, Bear Mountain. A sided cup offered by Palisade Interstate Commissioners was competed for by the following camps: Camp Hays, Cedar Lake, Wee-Ha-Ha, Fern Rock, Maygalanika, Komrad, Nulic and Burton. The cup which was offered to the girls' camp was won by Camp Wee-Ha. Fern Rock came in second, and Camp Hays scored the highest number of points for the boys camp competing. The cup offered is to be competed for every year and will be in permanent possession of the camp winning it three years in succession. Among the competitors were Evelyn Shepard, Elizabeth Fravier, Jane Humphrey, Shirley Mason, Damassau Baker, Julia Harris, Beryl Field, Helen Mason and Ruth Hodges for Camp Fern Rock. Besides winning the plunge for distance, Miss Ruth Hodges exhibited some spectacular dives which thrilled and delighted the onlookers.
The physical department is holding one of its biggest water carnivals on Wednesday evening. August 30, at which time Miss Ruth Hodges will give exhibition diving. Many interesting humorous events are being staged. The winner for the August contest in swimming will be awarded her prize at the carnival.
Among those who have recently renewed their membership in the granch are, Mrs. Emma H. Jones, Miss Ida Lassiter, Mrs. Evelyn St. Ince, Miss Sarah E. Scott, Miss Jane Humphreys and Mrs. Augusta Parago.
New members for the week include Mrs. Angela Bishop, Miss Thelma E. Berlack, Miss Carice rFancis, Miss Hattie M. Bradford and Miss Dorothy Harewood.
Among the distinguished visitors to the Branch during August were Jesse Binga, banker, of Chicago, one of the large donors to the national work of the Y. W. C. A.; W. R. Valentine, president of the Bordentown Industrial School; Miss Adele Ruffin, national Y. W. C. A. worker and Mrs. Olive S. Hunter of Lexington, Ky.
