R. Moton, prior of Tuskegee Institute, an- nate that the Department of Banks and Research, Monroe N. W. in charge, has found that the 12th record is smaller than that of preceding year by seven lynchings. There were 57 lynchings in 1922 as against 4 in 1921. All the victims during the past year were 51 of them being colored, six of white. Thirty of these men inched after being in the hands of officers of the law, 13 being taken for trails, and 17 from the officers' hands before they reached the jails. The mob operated in nine southern states: 18 times in Texas, 11 in Georgia, 9 in Mississippi, 5 each in Arkansas and Florida, 3 in Louisiana, 2 each in Montgomery, Ala.—Mutual understanding between the races and a discussion of the problems confronting the white and Negro races was urged by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, in an address January 14 at the sixteenth annual emancipation celebration. Dr. Moton declared that the Negro race is doing its part toward attaining mental freedom, "must emphasize to the white man the fact that the criminal element of our race represents a samll minority, and that we do not condone crime in any form and that we do not New York Church Klux Klan Leaf Latter Had Defied Pastor Stru ials to Take Adverse Action Would Split on Pastor i The Rev.

In the other 54 cases the prisoners were either removed from the mob's reach, or the force of guards was augmented. Another record cited was that in ten cases, lynchers were convicted and given penitentiary sentences. An analysis of the report shows that just one-third of the total, 19, were accused of rape or attempted rape; the offenses charged ranged from murder door to no special charge. Two were lynchied through mistaken identity. Six victims were burned to death and four were killed first and then their bodies were burned.

He declared that the position which the Anglo-Saxon race holds was due to the character and not to the color of his skin and that the black people can be just as thrifty, as honest, as successful, as reliable and as God-fearing as any people. Arch Expels Ku Leader Haywood For Straton and Church Office-Action, Saying the Church Victor if That Was Done JUDGE BROCK SCORES NORTH CAROLINA KLAN Winston-Salem, N. C.-Judge Brock, in his charge to the grand jury at the opening of Forsyth Superior court, took a rap at the Ku Klux Klan. He declared that there exists "an organization or organizations gotten together for the purpose of regulating other people's business" in their acts throughout the nation, and indeed within the bounds of this state. "They have been going around under the cover of darkness, with a mask over their faces assuming the powers that rightfully belong to the courts of the nation under the authority given them by the constitution of the United States," he asserted. The judge declared that under the constitution every individual citizen of the nation is entitled to certain rights and privileges among which are life, liberty and prosperity, but that there are some people who are banded together in organizations and bands who would tear down the very principles of the constitution. Judge Brock declared that the bands of men who go about the country with their faces covered and under cover of darkness to remedy some wrong, real or imaginary, are a band of cowards, and should not be countenanced by any group of right thinking and lawful men anywhere. An organization such as this strikes at the very roots of the constitution. $10,000 AUTO HARD TO HANDLE, JACK PAID $5 Because his $10,000 automobile was hard to manage and he could not bring it to a stop on signal of the traffic officer at Seventh avenue and Sirt street on December 6 last, Jack Johnson, former heavyweight boxing champion, paid a fine of $5 in Traffic Court on Thursday, December 28.

In a suit filed by the diplomatic agent in the Supreme Court yesterday to recover $8,500 which De Bourg alleges is still due him he sits forth that his mission was "to speak, to encourage and help Negroes to better themselves, all for the benefit of the said defended." The papers in the action were served on Clifford Bourge, chancellor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Inc., whose headquarters are at 50 West 135th street. Marcus Garvey is president general of the organization. It is related by the Bourg that he was selected for a four-year term at 8,000 a year. The document informing him of his election bore the signature of several of the high officials of the association, and at the bottom was the "o. k." of Marcus Garvey. His credentials said that the improvement association was a "sovereign organization," representing 400,000,000 Negroes, who would appreciate any courtesies shown De Bourg as their envoy. An other exhibit which De Bourg attached to his papers was a copy or a letter written to him by the assistant secretary general, who thanked him in behalf of the association for the good work the envoy had done in the "western province" of the West Indies. The letter is conched in the most approved diplomatic language, addressing De Bourg as "his excellence" and closing with the familiar subscription to the effect that the writer was "his excellence's most humble and obedient servant." Press. Plummer Recovering. Raleigh, N. C.,—Dr. J. O. Plummer, president-elect of the National Negro Medical Association, received a serious eye infection while treating a patient several weeks ago. He has passed through a critical stage, but is now almost completely recovered. United States Attorney William Hayward, formerly commanding officer of the Famous Old 15th New York Infantry, threw a bombshell into the ranks of New York City's wealthiest club men when he secured indictments for bootlegging against leading members of the Reacquet and Tennis Club, one of the most exclusive in the city, and a number of other persons associated with them in what gives evidence of being the greatest conspiracy against the Volstead law yet uncovered. Through a volunteer witness, who gave information a few weeks ago to Maj. John Holley Clark, Assistant United States Attorney, the wholesale bootlegging operation was traced through to the most select circles and exclusive places. Three of the biggest whiskey distilleries in the country, the Green River Distilling Co., the Emience Distillery Co., Inc., and the F. La Montaigne's Sons, Inc., were the source of supply, the stocks of these companies, being held by Copperfield Co., Inc., and this latter corporation is owned entirely by four La Montaigne brothers. Indictments were returned against Monsignau La Montagne, president of all the companies, and Rene. Morgan and Williams, his brothers; Samuel A. Story, vice-president; James 'R. Burrows, customs binned truckman, with permit from Prohibition Officer to transport liquor; James S. Burrows, father of James R. owner of garage at 668 West 96th street, where liquors were stored not only delivery; Shattersbury, a salesman; Rex Shadron, Pat Allison Alley, Mike John. George When Governor Miller shook his Christmas tree for members of the New York Guard, it found that officers of the 300th Infantry (formerly the 15th) were more numerous as recipients of distinguished honors than were groups from any other military unit of the State. Three former officers of the 300th A. E. F., now serving with the state organization, were advanced by brevet one step higher in rank, the list being topped by Col. Arthur Little, commanding officer, now in Egypt on a tour, who becomes Brevet Brigadier General. Leuvenant Colonels Seth B. McClinton and George F. Hinton were made Brevet Colonels. In addition to these honors conferred by the retiring Governor the newly inaugurated Governor Alfred E. Smith, an office officer of Lima, Haiti, and Port Lorch of the 300th Infantry as an aide-de-camp on his military staff. The Governor's order, issued by Adjutant General J. Leslie Kincaid, read as follows: "In recognition of the service rendered in the World War and for distinguished conduct and public service in the presence of the enemy, brevet commissions in one grade higher than that which they now hold, or which they held during their service in France, are hereby conferred upon the following officers of the New York National Guard, many of whom have been decorated by the United States or by our Allies, and some of whom were wounded in their country's service." The last contained the names of thirty-nine officers of state troops. Colonel Little in Egypt. The editor of The Age is in receipt of a Christmas card from Col Arthur Little, commander of the 300th Infantry, formerly the Old Fifteenth, who is now traveling in Egypt. The card was dated from Cairo and contained a picture of the colonel and his party. They have been abroad for several months and expect to return sometime in February. es Action On By Federal Jury Members of Exclusive New Is of Big Distilleries Are selling Whiskies and Herbert Horgan, professional "fixers;" and Eddie Harlow, cigar salesman at Racquet and Tennis Club, agent of the La Montagnes in dealing with members of the club. Col. Havward's Declaration. After reciting the fact that all the facts coming to his office had been in the office of the New York Prohibition Director since last June without being acted upon, and without being reported to his office, United States Attorney Hayward made the following declaration: The most startling and shardl Caire.rc23a fact revealed by the investigation was that many of the people in this city, otherwise law-abiding and decent, and who have the largest stake in the upholding of the law, are daily buying bootleg liquor and are violating the Prohibition Act by possessing that liquor, not only in their homes but elsewhere, and by transporting it from place to place in the city. I feel sure that they have not realised until now that the three handmaidens of bootlegging are perjury, forgery and bribery, three heinous, detestable and dangerous crimes, the perpetition of which may deprive a man or woman of life, liberty or good name, and yet everyone who buys from the bootleger must necessarily have induced some person to become a felon and to commit one or all of these crimes. Our simple duty, when we learned the facts, was clear. I was put here to fight for the government and to prosecute law brothers, Owns Its Own Home at 125-7 W. 130th St., and a 24-Family Apartment House at 257-9 W. 129th St.—Primarily a Women's Organization One of the most progressive and successful of the fraternal organizations in New York is the Independent Order of St. Lukes, which is one of the few organizations in the city to own its own home. The headquarters of the order are in Richmond, Va., where it was founded more than forty years ago. The present head is Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, one of the best known and most successful business women of the race. Royal Evans Killed Woman And Self for Love's Sake Left Letter For Friend In Which He Wrote He Had Staked Life in Her Goodness But Again Had Been Deceived-Ella Green Name of Girl A branch was established in New York several years ago, but until 1916, the local branch had only a few hundred members, and could hardly pay expenses. In September of that year Donnie Grisel was elected District Deputy, and has been unanimously reelected each year since then. When he took charge of the organization it was in debt several hundred dollars. By giving several entertainments during the spring and fall of 1917, this indebtedness was wiped out, and with the help of Mrs Charity Jones and a group of loyal women, who were officers in the various sub-ordinate lodges, the local order set out to secure a home for itself. By putting their finances together and cooperating they were able to take title to the four story apartment house at 125-7 West Litchfield street in July, 1918. This building has been well equipped, and is now the meeting place for all of the lodges of the order in this district. The upper stories are rented as apartments to various members of the order. Ha. Membership of 10,000 The securing of a home caused many new members to flock to the order so that the membership has now increased from a few hundred members in 1916 to nearly 10,000 adult and juvenile members in the city. It is primarily a woman's organization and is run largely by women. The present officers are: Miss Daisy V. Royal Evans Kille And Self Left Letter For Friend In V Staked Life in Her Good Been Deceived—Ella Disappointed in his love for her, Royal E. Evans, 25, a clerk, living at 200 St. James place, shot and killed Ella Green, 28, also colored, in the parlor of her home at 500 Classon avenue Saturday night, December 30. He then turned the gun on himself and sent a bullet through his right temple. Death was instantaneous in both cases. A letter written by Evans to a friend, but which he had neglected to mail, provided the police with a motive for the double tragedy. "Dear Preston," it read, "Don't it terrible. But it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. This is love of mine for Ella was as full as love could be. I have staked my life in her goodness, but again I have been deceived. I can't say good-hye. I am going crazy about this love of mine. Forgive Ella, for it isn't all her fault. I was just too silly to see. I am sure I will be happy in the next world." According to the police Evans had a wife in Newark. He had recently been keeping company with Ella Green. The police were given information that Evans objected to his sweetheart's going with other men. They had had several quarrels about the matter. Evans went to the house at 7.30 o'clock Saturday night. Ella Green received him in the porch. Persons upstairs in the house heard their voices raised in a disquiet and then four platoon shots followed a few seconds afterward with a fist shot. Rushing downstairs they found Dennis and the women dead.

Friends of the girl, who is familiarly known to them as Ollie; make the charge that after this accusation was made, Mr. Harris forestalled any investigation by inducing certain of his friends, among whom it is hinted were a physician and the pastor of his daughter's church, to persuade the girl to leave the friend's home where she had sought refuge for the seeming purpose of taking an auto ride.

EMPLOYES (Special To The New York Age) Suffolk, Va.—One of the largest employers of Negro labor in the South is the Planters' Nut and Chocolate Co. of Suffolk. A large candy factory at Wilkensbarre, Pa., operates with white employees, but the Suffolk group is mostly colored. And though there are other peanut factories here, the Planters' Co. does more for the welfare and comfort of its employees than any of the others. A big celebration was held on December 16. The seven hundred employees were given a half holiday, and they assembled in the spacious inspection room, which had been specially arranged with a view to comfort and enjoyment. A. O'Bici, president of the company, made an address, in which he declared that the company appreciated the service rendered by its employees, and was planning much larger and better things for their welfare than ever before. As a mark of the company's appreciation, $1,500 in gold was distributed as prizes for meritorious service, and this was in addition to a daily bonus paid every employee who does more than an allotted task. There was one prize of $100 of $425; twenty of $10; one hundred of $35; and five hundred of $1, each. Music was furnished by Brinkley's Orchestra, and short addresses were made by Rev. J. J.

Whiting, of 40 Albany, avenue, at Fulton street, has made herself particularly active in an effort to bring about the removal of the girl from the state institution for 'insane, declaring emphatically that "Ollie is no more unseasonal than I am, and is as normal and well-balanced" as any of her friends or other members of her family." It was the efforts of Mrs. Whiting, as told in The Age of December 16, which secured some slight action from the District Attorney's office, but that action was stopped by an unfavorable report from the hospital superintendent. In the meantime, Mrs. Whiting has continued her activities, and now it is probable that the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities will take some action in the matter. Mrs. Whiting has received the following letter from Miss Theodore Land, secretary, St. Marks District, 1660 Fulton street: "My dear Mrs. Whiting—I understand that you are. much interested in the case of Olivia Harris. I would be very glad if you will call at this office so that we might talk things over." In addition, Miss Land has informed the editor of The Age that on Saturday, January 6, at 10 a. m., Miss Russell of the Kings Park State Hospital staff will be in the St. Marks District office and requested that a representative of The Age be present at that time to hear what Miss Russell will have to say concerning the case of Miss Olivia M. Harns. It is supposed that interested friends will be present at this time, also Mrs. Whiting in company with Mrs. Wm. H. Brinkley, visited Kings Park Hospital on October 4, and had a long talk with Olivia, and it was due to a signed appeal to District Attorney Ruston, given her at that time by the girl, which appeal is on file in the District Attorney's office, that Mrs. Whiting increased her efforts in behalf of Miss Harris. In this document, witnessed by Mrs. Whiting and Mrs. Brinkley, Olivia wrote as follows: (COPY) "State Institution, "Kings Park, L, L "District Attorney Ruston: Dear sir—As result of an unjust detention as an inmate of above institution, I am appealing for my release and absolute freedom.

Charity Organization Society Covers Wide Range of Work Problems to be Solved by Workers Does Not Always Mean Dispensing of Food or Clothes Saving a Boy From Congenital Weaknesses Perry Howard Replies To Charges Made by N.A.A.C.P. Denies That He Had Anything to Do With Defeat of Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, and Accuses Secretary Johnson and Others of Self-Seeking Did you ever wonder why your city had a Charity Organization Society and what it did anyway? To most people it probably, suggests either sickness or unemployment. Yet there are one hundred and one other reasons why people get into trouble and need friends. Of the 3,965 families who came to the districts of the Society last year, many did not ask or need financial help at all. Theirs was a greater trouble, the despair of mental anguish. For instance there was Mrs. Hutton who came into the office crying. "Miss," the said, wringing her hands, "what can I do with my Robert? He will not go to school, or help me. He stays out at night with the gang, and last month he was arrested for stealing. Oh, I am so ashamed," she sobbed, "and if he ever gets caught again he will be sent away." "Yes," she answered, "I try everything. We give him money for the movies, we promise him new clothes. I lick tilt and his father licks him, but it does no good." "You see," she added, "he does not need to steal for he has most everything other boys have. His father is a porter and makes good wages, and he would do anything for Robert if he'd be good" "Now," she said. "wiping her eyes, 'what shall we do, Miss? They told me you would know." The young lady could have given the mother a snap judgment about Robert; but that would not have been fair, even In a statement released for publication December 8, 1922, the N. A. A. C. P. of New York City, James Weldon Johnson, secretary, charged that Perry W. Howard of Mississippi, now a special assistant in the Department of Justice at Washington, had written a letter to Senator T. Coleman DuPont of, Delaware declaring that any legislation intended to benefit the Negro should be frowned upon if it was supported by the N. A. A. C. P., or advocated by such men as Robert Nelson of Wilmington, Del, James Weldon Johnson, W. E. B. DuBois, or Robert L. Vann of Pittsburgh, "and others of their lik." This letter was alleged to have been written at the time the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was to be brought up in the Senate and Mr. Howard is accused of having the intention of antagonizing the Dyer Bill simply because it was fostered by the N. A. A. C. P. In this letter, Mr. Howard expressed antagonism to the N. A. A. C. P., characterizing that organization as a Negro Democratic organization and the men named above as "political bolshievs" who "should be annihilated as the basest of ingrates." Caleb R. Layton, Republican representative from Delaware, was defecated for reelection, largely by the Negro vote, because he voted against the Dyer Bill, and in referring to this, Mr. Howard told Senator DuPont that the N. A. A. C. P. was used by Nelson and others, "and you cwe your defeat to no other agency. I corrected the evil in Wilmington and if I could have gone into the Dover neighborhood on the following Monday, I could have saved the day." In its statement, commenting on this sentiment, the N. A. A. C. P. declared that the defeat of Layton was regarded as a "convincing demonstration of solidity and power" by colored voters. Perry Howard Replies Under date of December 15, 1922, Mr. Howard issued a lengthy letter, making reply to the N. A. A. C. P. statement. He denounces as perfidious the action of "those responsible for this release for disjointing my letter and leaving out certain parts." He challenged publication of the entire letter. He denied that he in any way, directly or indirectly, had anything to do with defeat of the anti-lynching bill. Continuing, Mr. Howard wrote as follows: It is well known by the author of this release that for two years I have worked incessantly, together with other friends, to get an anti-lynching bill on the Federal statutes; and instead of appreciation and cooperation on the part of Mr. James Weldon Johnson, our efforts were resented by him because it was interfering with his one aim, and that is to exploit his importance and keep in the limelight. I have every reason to believe that he would prefer that the bill be not passed if it will in any wise dim the luster of his vanity or self-exploitation. Our activities for the anti-lynching bill, or any other movement, have been consistently opposed by Mr. Johnson and Mr. DuBois with his "Crisis", which he has freely used to belittle and minify our activities in every way. I cannot see what places upon Messrs. Johnson and DuBois the responsibility of passing the anti-lynching bill unless it be a popular card to fill the coffers of the N. A. A. C. P., and give them increased salaries; for they are the most luxurious salaried gentlemen who are doing charity work, whom I know. I know of no colored man perhaps in the Country who would not be glad or delighted to have their places, which required no sacrifice but which on the other hand furnish every facility for ease and comfort—Mr. Johnson to sit in the gallery of the Senate and look on at the activities, prepared at any moment to step down one flight and indulge in the luxurious pastime of eating canvas back duck or quail on toast, while Mr. DuBois strokes his Chesterfieldian beard and incidentally takes his "Crisis" in hand and fires a sulutory fire at a supposed enemy. Autocrat Exploit Solve. I have no word of amnesia for the though it would have saved time and money. So the facts about Robert were looked up. Upon the advice of his teacher and others he was examined mentally and finally sent away to an industrial school, meantime having been again under arrest. "The boy is feeble-minded," said the doctor, "and if he is not protected he will land in Sing Sing some day, for he will be the ignorant tool of any gang he is with." No, it won't a case of groceries or rent for Mrs. Hutton, but just a case of helping her decide what was the fair thing to do with poor Robert. Many similar problems were faced by the Harlem Branch at 71 East-125th street, last year, and out of the 196 families who came to it, almost half the number were colored. On the paid staff of this district is a colored social worker, trained for this work, and one volunteer, Dr. E. P. Roberts is chairman of the committee on Negro Problems, and without the advice and help of this committee, Miss Mary Downs, in charge of the district, feels she would be quite ill. The part of the work for colored people costs the Society $000 a month. "Nothing would make me happier," said Miss Downs yesterday, "than to have this side of our work at least partially supported by the colored people themselves. It would help us to face our deficit and would encourage us to realize that we had the lacking and sympathy of our colored citizens in Harlem." National Association for the Advancement of Colored People per se and its earnest members who mean well and are doing their best; but I do object to these autocrats exploiting themselves at the expense of the association and seeking to belittle those who do not pay homage to them. It has been presumed from the beginning that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was a non-political organization; but true to my political faith I can but resent the present leaders invariably liming up otherwise and misleading their followers into the killing off some of the few friends we had in the Senate. May I ask what credit does Mr. Johnson give to the struggling colored newspapers throughout the country, which in season and out, labored for an anti-lynching bill, when the N. A. A. C. P. had $6,000 to spend for advertising. I should certainly never have guilty of sending it down to the Atlanta Constitution and other white dailies which did not need it, when some of our press boys are crying for bread. I said no word for Layton, who voted against the anti-lynding bill. But any thinking member of our group would a thousand times prefer to have Layton back in the House for two years and make certain of DuPont in the Senate for six years when we know that DuPont has stood pat on every roll call where the interest of the race was at stake, instead of having in his stead a man who can be depended upon to vote against us on every roll call despite his protestations of what he would do if elected. I think that I am in position to say that the bill would have fared far better if there had been less of Johnson and his bunglesome tactics. Johnson and others used the people's money lavishly under the assurance that this bill would pass, and, upon its failure, he seeks a "goat." Instead, of having contributed to the defeat of this bill, I was the author of the Gahn bill, introduced by Congressman Gahn, of Cleveland, Ohio, with a view to forcing the proponents of the Dyer bill to encouch certain fundamental features into their bill to give it teeth. Mr. Dyer accepted these when we went before the Judiciary Committee of the House for a hearing. B'KLYN BUREAU OF CHARITIES INVESTIGATES GIRL'S CASE (Continued from First Page) superintendent of Kings Park Hospital, a part of which I quote: "From observation, however, there seems to be no doubts that the patient is suffering from a mental upset. Her task seems to be of rather long standing and terminated in an exciting episode a few days previous to her admission here. A great deal of work has been done on this case; a clearcut dictum is impossible to formulate at the present moment." "I am of the opinion that if Miss Harris is alright mentally, it would be to her advantage to be perfectly frank with the doctors and nurses at the hospital. If possible, please convey this message to her." Other letters conveyed information that additional reports had been received, from the Hospital, and advised that they would be shown on a personal visit to Dr. D. A.'s office. In the meantime, however, the friends of Harris who were made acquainted with the nature of the superintendent's first report, declared that the statement that Ollie's mental upset "terminated in an exciting episode a few days previous to her admission here," gave substance to the almost unbelievable charges which she had made against her father. Further action, however, by the District Attorney seemed to be stopped by a report made by a. Brooklyn alumian, whose name was not made a matter of record, but who reported that Olivia was undoubtedly insane, and that her malady is of the progressive type.

Commanding Officer, 369th Infantry, New York Guard, Made Brevet Brigadier General by Ex-Gov. Nathan L. Miller for Distinguished Service in Late World War. A Demand for Race Conference Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: The times are out of joint. Racial portents are ominous. The rising tide of color threats to engulf us. The problem is becoming more complex and perplexing. Unless the Negro's courage rises with danger the cause will be lost through timidity and cowardice. The welfare of the ten million Negroes in the United States is less well safeguarded through self-directive leadership than that of any other group of similar size and like advantage in the world. There is the widest margin between what is and what ought to be. Loudomie boasting of our present attainments blinds us to the magnitude of things yet to be attained. This gap can be bridged only by wise guidance and direction. The incoming of the new year emphasizes our delinquency. Within the next half generation there is going to be a tremendous change in the scheme of race adjustment. Whether this is to be for the worse depends upon the initiative the courage and the wisdom which the Negro displays. The present tendency is in the wrong direction. Forces and influences now at work if unchecked will fix him for good in a helpless and hopeless position. Instant action is demanded. Hesitancy is dangerous. Delay may prove fatal. The time is fully ripe for a race conference to deliberate upon the serious phases of the problem, and as far as practicable to formulate a platform of principles and a program or programs of procedure. The Negro group has special and peculiar interests and relations, infinitely more serious and vital than any other subordinate element into which our population is divided. The peculiar problems of the foreigner are temporary and limited to one generation. The Jew is isolated only in religious and semi-religious of his own making and of his own preference. The Catholic differs from the Protestant only in mode of worship. The Negro alone is separated from the rest of the nation by the whole diameter of social difference which entails the regulation of all of the essential intimacies of life. This regime is imposed upon him. He did not make, and he cannot unmake it. Special and specific racial interests require as thoughtful and as wise deliberation as the Congress gives to the affairs of the nation. And yet today we have no adequate or competent body to give our issues comprehensive and statesmanlike consideration. At present the various interests and activities at work in the field are absorbed in their own objectives and are wholly without efficient coordination or union of aim and purpose. The rivalry waste and friction are inexcusable. The demand for a nationwide conference is imperative. This conference should not be fostered by any one organization, but every type of agency or interest now at work should unite upon a call to consider "the state of the race." Political movements such as the N. A. A. C. P., the Equal Rights League, the Lincoln League, the Race Congress, religious bodies, like the National Baptist Conventions, the A. M. E., A. M. E. Z., C. M. E. and the M. E. Churches, as well as those of smaller numbers; moral and social agencies, such as the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. ports, Ollie's friends have not lost courage, but seem more than ever determined that she be removed from the state's care and put either in a private sanitarium or placed with some friend who will provide the care and comfort necessary for her well-being. It was told in last week's issue of this paper that an intimate and close friend of the unfortunate girl had requested Mr. Harris to put Ollie in her custody, but that he had not as yet consented to such an arrangement. The conference with Miss Russell on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, in the St. Marys District office of the Brooklyn Burden of Charities, Miss. Theodore Land, secretary, promises to be interested. A., business and economic agencies, like the Business League, the Urban League; educational associations, fraternal organizations, the Federations of Women's Clubs and the Press Association, and all well established movements of wide ramification should be represented. The time has come for all to pull together. If we continue to pull apart, we will pull to pieces. The whole is greater than any part of its parts. The members of the body can never cooperate properly unless they become consciously subordinated to the welfare of the body as a whole. It may be just as well to anticipate the objection that several such abortive attempts have been made before. While no one of these efforts has been permanent each endearer has left a residuum of lasting good. The race today has more maturity and sound judgment than ever before. Many will recall the effort of Mr. Joel Spingarm at a race conference at his summer home. If an alien to the group saw the necessity of formulating a common program, surely we must heed the self call to conference. The Negro can no longer look to the white race for intimate advice and direction. No one outside of a group can regulate the intimate procedure for the inside. The white philanthropists have done a good part. The people who must be helped forever are not worthy of being helped at all. Self-expression on part of the Negro will encourage our white friends to extend the necessary assistance. But they cannot be expected to carry him on their shoulders any further. The Negro henceforth must walk with his own legs. The white man can only furnish him a crutch. Lynching and lawlessness of which the Negro is the chief victim, the shift of population, congestion in cities and the acute situation resulting therefrom, the moral aloofness and religious indifference of the educated classes, the downward moral tendency of the times in which our young people are being carried away, the necessity for cooperation in business and trade, the growing apathy of the white race and the need for concerted endeavor to stem the tide, all unite in demanding the proposed conference at an early date. The situation calls loudly for the requisite race statemanship. Will it be forthcoming? Lo, I have made the suggestion and invite correspondence. All who are in favor, signify by saying "I." KELLY MILLER. Howard University, Washington, D. C. (Special To The New York Age) Nashville, Tenn.—T. R. Davis, the new president of Walden College entered upon his new field during the summer and helped to work out details for the new school at the new site in its new role as a junior college. The fall term opened October 3 under the most auspicious circumstances. The formal opening of the school took place October 16. The Tennessee conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church attended in a body and Dr. I. Garland Penn, secretary of the Board of Education for Negroes, was master of ceremonies. The occasion marked the formal acceptance of the school back into the system of schools of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The conference laid on the table in cash for the school over $1,600, and the alumni and friends about $500, making a total in cash of over $2,100. The new president is an A. B. from Howard University and an A. M. from the University of Chicago; he has taught in the colleges of the church for several years. Walden College was first the Old General Tennessee College, later Walden University. Kings County Has Its First Colored Asst. District Alty. Sumner H. Lark, Printer, Editor, Lawyer, Selected by Democratic Official As a Member of His Staff-Raised in Augusta, Ga. Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors When one thinks of HAIR and TOILET PREPARATIONS, one, at the same time, thinks of 'PORO' The "QUALITY" Preparations Known throughout the United States and Foreign countries for the GOOD they do! —WRITE— PORO COLLEGE ST. LOUIE, MO. Pore Corner When the new District Attorney for Kings County, former Magistrate Charles J. Dodd, took once on Monday morning, January 1, the outstanding figure among his assistants proved to be Counsellor Summer H. Lark, the only Negro appointed, who had been selected by District Attorney Dodd to be a Deputy Assistant District Attorney on his staff, at a salary of $4,000 per annum. Assistant District Attorney Lark came from Augusta, Ga. He is the eldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. David Lark. He was born in 1874, in South Carolina, but was raised in Augusta. His father was a pioneer race business man in his home town and accumulated a considerable fortune at one ting. Mr. Lark came to Brooklyn twenty-two years ago and operated a job printing office in lower Atlantic avenue and at other places. He allied himself with Tammany and has been a consistent worker under Democratic Leader John H. McCooey for many years. He published a weekly paper, the Eye, for a number of years, and in 1912 he entered the Brooklyn Law School, graduating as LL.B. in 1916. He had finished the normal course at Haines Institution, Augusta, of which the well-known Miss Lucy Lancy is the founder and principal, and took his college course at Howard University, Washington, winning both his A. B. and A. M. degrees from that institution. For awhile Mr. Lark managed the Putnam Theatre, Fulton street near Grand avenue, Brooklyn, which property he took over after numerous predeces- Comments By The On Sayings of A curious phase of the prohibition enforcement was referred to in the Baltimore Afro-American, as follows: The agitation in the Baltimore Sun, a white daily newspaper, against colored prohibition officers arresting white violators of the Prohibition law, shows race prejudice raised to the ninth degree. If it is illogical, unwise, and creative of had feeling between the races for a colored officer of the law to arrest a white person, is it not equally provocative of race friction, unwise and illogical for white prohibition officers to arrest colored violators of the law? If not, why? Evidently the Baltimore daily is opposed to dry enforcement and would make the color of the enforcement officers a reason for evading the law. The twenty thousand dollar libel suit filed by H. Maynadier St. Clair against the Baltimore Afro-American was removed from the docket, when the court sustained the second demurrer filed by the attorney for the defendant newspaper. The Afro-American said: The victory of the Afro-American in this case substantiates the contention of Attorney Warner T. McGuinn that the court does not look with favor upon suits of slander and libel, and further HAYWARD SECURES ACTION ON BOOTLEGGING BY FEDERAL JURY (Continued from First Page) and I am going to do it. The President and the Attorney General have only recently emphasized the necessity for vigorous enforcement of the Prohibition laws the same as any other laws. The indictments filed today present a question much larger sors had found it a white elephant. As a result of his shrewd business management, Mr. Lark made the business pay, and later disposed of it to a great advantage when the Quality Announcement Co., headed by E. C. Brown, of Philadelphia, who already had the Lafayette Theatre in Harlem, Manhattan, wanted to find room for further expansion by taking in the Brooklyn field. His profits from this transaction, and to have run well into five figures, were invested in a large apartment house at 262 St. James place, and later Mr. Lark secured the companion structure at 285 Washington avenue. During all of this time he maintained his law practice and political activities. Another large real estate transaction engaged in by Mr. Lark was the purchase of a large tract of land near Peekskill, partly improved, which he expects to develop into a race community. He was married before coming to Brooklyn, to Miss Virginia Jones, who was a fellow student and teacher at Haines School, and lie occupies, with his family, an apartment in the Washington avenue apartment house. He has his law office, where his realty interests are also taken care of, in the St. James place building. The Larks are parents of seven children, five sturdy boys and two girls. The oldest boy and girl are married, and there is one grandchild. Another boy is a student at Hampton Institute. When Counsellor Lark took the oath on January 1 at 10 o'clock, he was the first colored man Kings County has ever had to serve as an assistant on the District Attorney's staff. where words have two meanings, the innocent meaning shall be their interpretation and not otherwise. Libel suits are one of the risks incident to the running of newspapers and are frequently entered upon with speculative intent. The editor of the Philadelphia Christian Recorder maintains that the African Methodist Episcopal Church taught this country how to name a university after a Negro bishop and how to name school buildings after Negroes. He added: Now we are going to teach the world another lesson. We are going to teach them that snice we are making money that there are Negro laymen in the African Methodist Church who will put up chapels, libraries, science halls, and leave them as monuments just as white men who have money, have done. What finer monument could a man put up than a chapel or a library or science building where the best of the youth of the land could come and have their ideas moulded so that they could go forth into the world and do service to mankind and to help advance the Kingdom of God? A good idea and strongly put. So long as no undue influence is exerted upon the testators, their wills providing for such monuments should be held valid. and more vital than the Prohibition question. They present the question of law and enforcement of and respect for the law. I am determined to find out whether the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act are merely regulations for the poor or whether they are laws for the people of the United States, applying equally to all the people. I don't purpose to have it said that I prosecuted hundreds, yes, thousands of poor, benighted, ignorant people that nobody ever heard of and know- lady failed to prosecute the prominent or influential who had committed exactly the same offences on a much larger scale. We must determine in each case whether there is equality before the law or whether some people are simply who think they are above law who are really in that exalted position. Facing Selective Anarchy "If people can obey the laws they like and defy the laws they do not like, or disapprove of, or hope may be changed, then they are brought face to face with selective anarchy. If incidence law and government by law law as is in here, the books, sustained by the government, court, broths down, then the government itself breaks down and the law will necessarily give way to mob, by Klans, or by other armed groups. The laws must be obeyed or repealed. "Perhaps the law cannot be enforced. I know of on one who has seriously tried to enforce it. The various prohibition Directors, whose primary duty it is to enforce the law, during their brief tenures of office, have brought us thousands of cases to clutter up and chog our calendars, but less on any importance. I believe a real man of character and courage as Prominent Director can get a long way toward enforcement, especially if prohibition agents were paid decent salaries and given some security of tenure of office. "We have no agents, no detectors or other agencies for gathering evidence in my office. We have, however, a most powerful weapon—the Grand jury subpoena, which we have used in this present case without fear or favor and I purpose to use it in the future in other cases, as we have in this one. Otherwise respectable citizens may buy bootleg liquor but they certainly cannot commic perjury. "I appeal to Governor Smith not to attempt to nullify the Federal laws by the repeal of the State jaws supporting them, and thus take away from Colonel Donavan and the rest of us Federal District Attorneys the powerful support of the police. "I appeal to the clergy of all faiths for whatever difference of opinion they may hold on Prohibition, surely no worthy man of God but owes a clear duty to make his pulpit ring with a demand for obedience to law. "I appeal to public officials and lawyers to search their conscience and decide whether they made a mental reservation as to certain portions of the Constitution of the United States when they ook their oath. "Humbly and prayerfully I appeal to the decent men and women of this community to cease bartering their Constitution for a cocktail or a drink of bad liquor, and to make the trivial sacrifices necessary to up-hold the law and help restore that respect for law without which anarchy and chaos must result."

The advent of another year affords an appropriate opportunity for a review of the past and of planning for the future. The errors and shortcomings that can be seen so clearly in retrospective gaze can be utilized as beacon lights and danger marks for future guidance. A large part of human wisdom is based upon the ability to learn from experience, either personal or acquired from others. Those who cannot prompt from experience are truly unfortunate, as they repeat the blunders of the past indefinitely, to their own bitter cost and gain no sympathy by their performance. One of the important features of the New Year is to review the performance of the past and to make note of the things that have been neglected and to take measures to atone for this neglect in the future. One of the pressing duties incumbent upon the race in all sections, but taking on greater importance in the larger centers of our population is the support of our charities and welfare work in general. Considerable has been done by a small but devoted number of workers in this and other communities in starting and carrying on work of this nature, but a greater interest and a larger measure of financial support are due from the members of the race at large. Such worthy enterprises as the Hope Day Nursery, the Katy Ferguson and Sojourner Truth Houses, the Boys Welfare Club, the Working Girls Home, in Manhattan, the Brooklyn Home for Aged Colored People, the Women's Charity Club and the Big Sisters House, in Brooklyn, should not have to depend solely on the efforts of a limited number of staunch supporters. The work that these institutions have done and are capable of doing, in relieving and protecting and caring for the helpless and suffering of all ages, should ensure their regular and systematic support by all members of the community. Charity and benevolence are classes among the racial characteristics common to the Americans of African descent, so that the appearance of a colored beggar in public places is not a common occurrence. But these qualities need to be regulated and adjusted to a system of regular donations for charitable uses, instead of being exercised with haphazard generosity, as the emotions may be appealed to. A little of the sums expended for amusement and self-gratification would go far to put our deserving charities on a former basis, where their work would be assured of greater permanency and extended to a wider scope. Let one of the urgent duties of the New Year be the setting aside of a fixed portion of one's income toward the support of racial charities and welfare work. TRUTH ABOUT PROHIBITION TRUTH ABOUT PROHIBITION. It is seldom that the truth is stated in a clear and convincing manner on the matter of Prohibition or its enforcement. Most of the advocates of the Eighteenth amendment indulge in rose colored accounts of the good accomplished by the restrictions put upon the use of intoxicating liquor and claim that the curse of drink has been removed and the formlr drankard now buys gum drops or sundaes, as a substitute and takes his wife to the movies instead of frequenting the corner saloon. A portion of the public not so credulous nor so blind to obvious results, point to the fact that so many of the olding salons continue in business as sensibly as pursuers of soft drinks and so the abnormal growth of drug stores and other places where alcoholic stimulants may be had at a price. Then the activities of the booteager in the distribution of alleged liquors have been apparent in so many localities, as to dispel illusions as to the extent of dry irritation. The part played by the police, ot so far from New York, was illustrated by the story that the Christmas reunion given to his subordinates by a small town chief consisted of a turkey and a boorte of rye whisky. In view of these contradictory views in the success or failure of Prohibition, I'll referencing to find one official, who willing to come out in the open and ill the truth about certain phases of a question. In presenting the facts connected with the indictment of a well-known whiskey house in New York City, together with other individuals for bioshaping, Colinard William-gordon United States District Attorney Perhaps it may be that the idea of erecting this bronze monument at Washington has behind it a desire on the part of many of these outsiders to share in the claim to aristocracy through a share in this symbolic "Black Mammy." The writer actually had a Southern "White Mammy," but has never considered it anything to boast of particularly. The figures on crime prepared and published each year by Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman, consulting statistician for the Prudential Insurance Company, have come to have a recognized place in our national statistics. His figures for twenty-eight of the largest cities in the country show that the rate of murders per 100,000 population was 9.3 in 1921 as compared to 8.5 in 1930. In this table of twenty-eight cities, Memphis, Tenn., still holds the banner for being the most murderous city in the United States and, therefore, in the world. The rate of murders in Memphis in 1921 was 56.8 for every 100,000 population. The only crime concern th pay, charged that the most startling fact revealed by the investigation was that many people in this city, otherwise law-abiding and decent and who have the largest stake in the upholding of the law, are daily violating the law by buying bootleg liquor. The District Attorney went further and pointed out that these customers of the bootleger by their defence of the law are inducing some other person to the commission of felony in the way of perjury, forgery and bribery. The questions raised by the prosecution of the bootleggers is larger and more vital than the Prohibition question, according to this official. They present the question of law and the enforcement of and respect for the law. Col. Hayward is determined to find out whether the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead act are merely regulations for the poor or whether they are laws for the people of the United States, applying equally no all people. Col. Hayward has raised an important and farreaching question. The fact is that the present Prohibition amendment was based upon the action of a large number of the Southern States, who felt that the economic value of the Negroes as workers would be increased by the adoption of a local prohibition policy that would affect black men only, leaving sufficient loopholes, so that the whites could obtain their accustomed portion of corn juice. This would not have been a bad thing for the black workers of the South, if it had worked out as planned. The white sentiment of the South on this question was backed up by the growth of prohibition in the West and the propaganda of the anti-saloon people, who were keen to avail themselves of advantages offered by the situation. The necessities of the war also added to the favorable sentiment, which finally succeeded in carrying the amendment, aided by the incredulity of the liquor interests and the indifference of the general public, who never believed that prohibition would become a fact. These facts must all be weighed in considering Col. Hayward's conclusion that the country cannot go on, half law-obedient and half law-defiant. His final appeal to the Governor not to attempt to nullify the Federal laws, to the clergy of all faiths and to public officials and lawyers to assist in demanding obedience to the law is significant of the serious nature of the problem. When he adds an appeal to the decent men and women of the community to cease bartering the constitution for a cocktail or a drink of bad liquor, the problem is reduced to its lowest terms. Col. Hayward has set forth the truth about Prohibition, and its lack of enforcement by public opinion, in such straightforward fashion, that all the people should heed him. --- A MAYOR AND A MURDER. The investigation, into the doings of the Ku Klux Klan by the State authorities of Louisiana has progressed to the point, where a former mayor of the town of Mer Rouge, Dr. B. M. McKoin, was arrested in Baltimore on the charge of murder. This charge was based on the finding of two bodies of missing white residents of the town in Lake La Foureche, where they had been sunk by the murderers, after their capture and torture by members of the Klan. Dr. McKoin was reported as talking freely, after his arrest by the Baltimore authorities, which was made at the request of Governor Parker of Louisiana. Among other things he said: I will tell the authorities anything they want to know, but I do not blame the Ku Klux Klan for the spirit of lawlessness that has spread terror over that part of Louisiana. In fact, although not a member of the Klan, I can say that the members did much to hold down bootlegging and immorality while I was Mayor of Mer Rouge. "The reason that I am in Baltimore is that the bad element of Mer Rouge got so desperate that they shot at me and I had no alternative. I am not a fugitive from justice as the newspapers seem to make out. Just after I left the Mayor's office last August I was shot at while in my automobile Two bullets struck the car and I left town. "The cause of the killing of the two men—that is who did it and how it happened—I cannot say. All I know is that both men who were killed were on the bad side—the side of bootleggers, gunmen and men who associated with Negroes. I had fought that element while I was in the Mayor's chair and had a hard time doing it. Of course this Dr. McKoin may not have been a member of the Klan, nor one of those implicated in the murder, but his efforts to absolve the Klan of lawlessness and to credit its members with holding down bootlegging and immorality justify the belief that he was in sympathy with its purposes. Witnesses in Louisiana have accused him of being a member of the Klan and present at the killing. A curious note of self-betrayal was struck by Dr. McKin in his effort to blacken the character of the murdered men, when he insisted that he knew that "both men who were killed were on the bad side—the side of bootleggers, gunmen and men who associated with Negroes." Evidently this hat count against the dead, association with Negroes, in the opinion of the former Louisiana mayor, justified any degree of torture and murder. In Louisiana, as in Texas, the Ke Klin associates seem to have contributed in a case of drug counting date. THE NEW YORK AGE: SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1823. Readers of The Age undoubtedly perused last week with a great deal of interest the article by Clement Wood reproduced from the New York "Herald." Never, has there appeared in any metropolitan newspaper a more frank or more fearless statement on the Negro problem than was given in Mr. Wood's article, "The Problem of James Crow: 'Jim' Grown Up." In three columns Mr. Wood discussed the whole problem, from illiteracy to amalgamation. As the readers of The Age had the opportunity to see the article or can refer to it, there is no need to quote it here. Mr. Wood's article appeared in the New York "Herald" on Sunday, December 17. On the following Sunday, Mr. H. L. Pangborn in an article entitled "Racial Purity," made reply to Mr. Wood through the same newspaper. Mr. Panghorn's reply is aside from the point and in some respects amusing. He is particularly irritated at Mr. Wood's suggestion of the possibility of an amalgamated South. Near the opening of his article he says, "I for one cannot look forward to a chocolate-colored human race with equanimity. I hope for a better world than that could be, for my children's children, I think there are still many Americans old fashioned enough to believe in the value—and possibility—of racial purity." And yet, after arguing through three columns, Mr. Panghorn from an opposite direction, arrives at the same point as Mr. Wood, that is, the possibility of an amalgamated South. Indeed, Mr. Panghorn's suggestion for avoiding such an end is segregation, and the segregation which Mr. Panghorn has in mind is complete and absolute segregation. Let Mr. Panghorn himself define what he means: CLEMENT WOOD'S ARTICLE. Readers of The Age undoubtedly perused last deal of interest the article by Clement W. in the New York "Herald." Never has there appeared in any metropolitan frank or more fearless statement on the Negro given in Mr. Wood's article, "The Problem of Grown Up." In three columns Mr. Wood discussed the will milliteracy to amalgamation. As the readers of opportunity to see the article or can refer to it quote it here.

Near the opening of his article he cannot look forward to a chocolate-colored quanimity. I hope for a better world than that children's children. I think there are still many I need enough to believe in the value—and possibility." And yet, after arguing through three columns, Mr. Wood opposite direction, arrives at the same point on the possibility of an amalgamated South. Panghorn's suggestion for avoiding such an end is segregation which Mr. Panghorn has in mind, absolute segregation. Let Mr. Panghorn himself says: "By segregation I do not mean 'Jim Crow' cars, a color part of a dominantly white community, or any thing on Mr. Wood's bond is far more complete than that plan." Segregation must be far more complete than must be voluntary. Such a result is, plainly, difficult of is thinkable. For it might be attained by setting aside one South (Alabama, for instance), areas large enough in black race." Is sort of segregation is one of the amusing the man's article.

Mr. Wood Nation" will be even plainer spoken than his old." "By segregation I do not mean 'Jim Crow' cars, a colored 'Ghetto' as a part of a dominantly white community, or any thing of that sort. As Mr. Wood says, 'the social bond is rather close, to promise success for that plan.' Segregation must be far more complete than that. And it must be voluntary. Such a result is, plainly, difficult of attainment but it is thinkable. For it might be attained by setting aside certain areas in the South (Alabama, for instance), areas large enough to hold all the black race." This sort of segregation is one of the amusing things in Mr. Panghorn's article. Granted that the scheme of placing all the Negroes in the country in one or more states, say for instance, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, a difficulty which Mr. Panghorn has not reckoned with would be that of keeping the white people out. The United States army would not be adequate for the job. A curious commentary on these two articles is the fact that Mr. Wood is a Southerner, a native of Alabama, the son and the grandson of slaveholders. On the other hand Mr. Panghorn is the son of an Abolitionist. Mr. Wood is a well known poet and novelist. He is the author of a novel entitled "Nigger"—We hope our readers will not allow the title to prejudice them against the book. We expect to say something about this book in these columns within a few weeks. Our readers may thank us for letting them know that an article by Mr. Wood on his native state, Alabama, will be published in "The Nation" of January 10 as one of a series of articles on the States now appearing in that magazine. Mr. Wood's article in "The Nation" will be even plainer spoken than his article in the "Herald." THE "BLACK MAMMY" MONUMENT have received a number of letters relative to the of Southern white women to erect, in Washing bronze monument in honor of the "Black letters we have received have been letters or ironically asks, "What honor is it to erect a black Mammy' and at the same time burn her?" obtain number of people raise sufficient money toument, we do not suppose there is any legal way We have received a number of letters relative to the proposal of a group of Southern white women to erect, in Washington preferably, a bronze monument in honor of the "Black Mammy." Most of the letters we have received have been letters of protest. One writer ironically asks, "What honor is it to erect a monument to the 'Black Mammy' and at the same time burn her grandsons at the stake?" If a certain number of people raise sufficient money to put up such a monument, we do not suppose there is any legal way in which they can be stopped, and perhaps it would not be worth while to stop them, even if it were possible. Of course, the money could be expended to much greater advantage, or if a monument is to be erected, a much better subject could be found. For instance, instead of erecting a monument to the "Black Mammy," which would merely emphasize the sevility, or at best the kindly traits and faithfulness of the Negro women who during the old days took care of the children of their mistresses, it would be more worthy to erect a monument to the black mother who, through sacrifice, hard work and heroism, battled to raise her own children and has thus far so well succeeded. A monument embodying the latter idea would ennoble any bronze and would be worthy of the skill of the greatest artist. There is another phase to this "Black Mammy" tradition which most people are not cognizant of. How many people realize that the claim of having had a "Black Mammy" has long been the greatest claim that one can make to being a Southern aristocrat. Curious, isn't it, that every Southern white person who wishes to have it recognized that he or she belongs to the "true," "original," "first-family" aristocracy must lay claim to having been nursed at the breast of a "Black Mammy," and so the "Black Mammy" has come to be the symbol of Southern aristocracy. But it ought to be known that a great many people who are making this claim are making it falsely. If we remember the figures correctly, there were only about 400,000 slave owners at the close of the Civil War; so, naturally, there were a great many white people in the South who never had nor could afford to have the distinction of having a "Black Mammy." THE UNITED STATES CRIME RECORD One is at once struck with the wide difference between the murder rate in cities of the South and West and cities of the East. Eastern cities, especially New York, are popularly looked upon by the rest of the country as hotbeds of crime; but the figures prove otherwise. It is likely that New York, for instance, enjoys an unenviabel criminal reputation because of the fact that any crime committed in this great city is more widely advertised than numbers of crimes committed elsewhere. The record for New York last year was only 5.0. 1922 shows an increase of 1.2 We think the difference between sections of the country to the advantage of what are known as the eastern cities is due entirely to the difference in respect for law and the rigor with which the law is enforced. For example, many murders are committed in Southern towns because of the fact that white men feel that they will not be convicted and often not even prosecuted for the killing of a Negro. Dr. Hoffman's statistics on crime in the United States ought to be very disturbing to our national conscience, but I do not believe they are. The United States has become callous on crime and mob violence. The fact that it is the most criminal and lawless of the so-called civilized nations, in the world seems in on way to affect our sense of exaggerated and inordinate self-esteem. The great bulk of one hundred per cent. Americans, in the face of this great bulk of one hundred per cent. Americans, in the face of these facts still go on childishly believing that this great democracy is earth's surface. A comparison of our murder rate with that of England will show how far behind we are in one of the very fundamentals of civilization, namely, the security of life. The murder rate for the United States annually is one out of every 12,000 persons, while in England the rate is one out of every 412,000 persons. The question of mob violence and lynching as inflicted upon the Negro is involved in the whole question of national lawlessness in the United States.

THE NEW YORK AGE: SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1923. Tu honrades inquebrantada e inquebranable, y tu virtitud acrisolada. Mas si eata honrades e bastante para comfortar un espiritu que se hallara en delirio de celos, y tu virtud suficiente para ennoblecerte, no es lo único que una mujer debe poseer. La honrades es patrimonio también de algunas razas y seras inferiores; mas la bondad de alma, la generosidad de sentimientos, la nobleza de espiritu, en fin, el conjunto de idealidades que forman a un ser sensible, racional y civilizado, son partes esenciales en la existencia de una mujer, para hacer feliz otra existencia. Romper como tu has roto el encanto de un ensueño, ain que las reminiciencias de un dulce pasado, ni las simplicas de un corazón desolado te commuevar, denota una esterilidad tal en tu ser que ni aun comparándote con una estatua, al simil seria adecuada. Si me fuera dable creer que tu existencia se debe al desprendimiento de una roca, o que en vez de corazón posees un pusil florentino, y como alma una sombra de misterios, no me amedrentaria luchar contra la roca de tu cuerpo, exponerne a las heridas del pusil, ni a las apariciones fantásticas de tu alma en misterio. Pero siendo un ser humano como eres, fisiologicamente hablando, me pasmo y me sorprender, cuando asomado al balcon de tus renores, los contemplo en la suprema magnitud que lo atesoras; y quedo vencido, anomado. A juzgar, por tus actos y tus palabras, el odio es parte integrante de tu naturalza, se encuesta entre los plegues de tu alma como en un relicativo una joya diamantina. Yo que no se odiar, he ne nacido para amar y ser amado, que perdono las injurias que se me inferen, porque se en todo perdon hay generosidad, y que olvido porque es necesario olvidar a veces para crear nuevas concepciones, juzgo a las almas animadas de tales pasiones, como a seres que necessitan fundirse en el crisilodel de las decrirenas cristianas A ti mismo to perdono, en las crueles dolores que me causas, a ti mismo te redimo de las lieridas que el pelu de tu corazón causa en mis carones. Sin embargo, yo soy un invidioso de tu alma y de tu corazón; porquo las rocas son seres insensibles sinque con vida, y tu eres una muñe de roca, feliz por tu insensibilidad, feliz en tus odios, y dihesura en tus remores, mientras y sufo porqueissent, siento porque amo, y amo por que suro. Reconozco que, en tu ser hay algo no aflecido al frío indiferente de tus sentimientos: tu amor materno; pero lo desarrollas con tal suna de egosimo, concentras en el único amor, de tus amores tan equivocada idealidad, que no parece sino que tan divino angel, vino a este mundo de torturas, por abra y gracia de conceptión divin. Difícil es penetrar con el escalpelo de la malor en el corazón humano, y más dificil aun si este corazón es de mujer, ser incompresible y musterioso, que como algunas ciencias mientras mas se les estudia menos se les comprende.

SECCIÓN POETICA Hay en mi corazón una constante Inquietud que me tiene dominado. Un desgo impreciso semejante. Al anhelo de un parajo enjaulado. Aquietarlo mil veces he querido Y siempre fue mi voluntad vencida. Parece que en tu seno han hecho nido Las inquietudes todas de mi vida. Sueño com lo infinito y com lo alto Enamorado del arul del cielo. Y aunque yo intento refremar mi salto Y atajar el impalo de mi vuelo. Debajo de este cielo que me doma Se pertele un esfuerzo el humano Como el aletrar de una palma Sostenida entre los dedos mi mano. Unas veces se agitan en mi entraña Deseos de blancura y de atonia. Aderezo de nieve en la montaña. Flecha de la ena en la arbola de umbría Y siempre así la carreal que me encierra Oprime mimedefo y no la calma, Y voy por el desierto de la tierra Perpetuamente combatiendo el alma.

WOMAN SHOT, ALLEGES HER HUSBAND DID IT (Special To The New York Age) Newark, N. J.—Mrs. Pauline Williams is in the City Hospital with a bullet wound in the lower part of her right side, inflicted, she declared, by her husband, Edward, because she refused to live with him where he had been in hiding from the police. He got away after the shooting. Williams has been at 27 Bay street, Montclair, where he was charged about three weeks ago with having embezzled a load of coal from his former employer, Mrs. Williams, who living at the home of Henry B. Williams, not a relative, and he and his wife, Wilhelmina, and their thirteenth-year old daughter, were taken to headquarters as witnesses. It happened that Detective Hermer and Wagner had a warrant for Wilhelmina "Doe," wanted for stabbing Griffin, Bable, of 45 Somerset street, on December 10, and Bable identified Wilhelmina Williams as his assistant, Mrs. Williams, was held and her husband and daughter were released.

Walker's World Renowned Toilet Preparations PULL DIRECTIONS ON EVERY BOTTLE Mine C.J. Walker INDIANA (BY WILLIAM PICKENS) It happen on Christmas Night on West St. street. Have you ever heard "The Deacon and his Bajoon in conversation with each other." The music cores and spurs from his finger tips to the new strings of his Bajoon, and the Bajoon broadcasts it. He is tall of it; it makes his head bob and his feet beat in rhythm. He is not anybody's church "deacoun." No, no! His religion is music, and his little Bajoon is his singer, his mourner, and the chief occupant of his "amen corner." He can make it laugh mettally, cry pathetically or joyously, and shriek wildly it has all the emotions of a soul, and a dozen more ways to express them. And you "see things" when the Ban-jolin speak to "Deacon." As you listen, a whole troop of elves come gliding in. They dance and jig and wag their elsh heads, then with a little shriek they depart. Next a jazzering band of little red devils, with horns on their heads. The turn of their limbs, the swish of their tails, the Runiches of their waging horns! The involutions, matches and counter-marches! They move forward; now in parabolic waves, now in festooning figures, now in circles, now in confusion. They stamp the earth, then ride the air. They circle, whirl, fly, scatter, group—come and go. With a rasping roar of their devilish little feet they leave the din-shaken door, cap, soar into the air and vanish with a whole gamut of tuneful cries. All this passes before you when "The Deacon" tickles, teases and spanks his Ban-jolin. Heaven! If we had no other gift, but music, the world could ill spare us. God! If we had no other religion, but our tunefulness, heaven could afford to welcome us. There must be a use in heaven for the Soul and the Talent of "The Dancing Deacon" Johnson. But he could serve well in either place, if they let his Banjo in with him; for he can conjure up troops of devils or flocks of angels, so that he could make an hour of heaven in hell, or in heaven he could break the monotony, by filling the hour with sweetly-deciduous music. When he engentains, he seems to have so much, fun himself, that he ought to pay the audience for the hour. "The Dancing Deacon" ABRAHAM LINCOLN January 1, 1863 January 1, 1923 There is nothing at this late day that can add to or detract from the imperishable name of Abraham Lincoln. His place in the history of the world is unrecoverable fixed. That place is with the Immortals. No earthly power can change it. H G Wells, the foremost figure in the literary world today, named Abraham Lincoln as one of the six outstanding men of all time. Genius and greatness are unconfirmed. They will be found in the cabin as well as in the palace. Jesus Christ, born, of lovely parents, was laid in a manger after His birth. His name is above all names known to the world since the morning star came together. The name of Abraham Lincoln has been honored by untidled millions of Negroes who have gone the way at all flesh. The name of Abraham Lincoln is enthroned in the grateful hearts of the millions of Negroes now living. And his name, unsultified, will be handed down from generation to generation of Negroes, forever and ever. Amen and Amen. HENRY A. WALLACE Griffin, Pa. IS LYNCHING FOSTERED BY THE IGNORANT WHITE MAN? NOT ALWAYS (By Jesse O. Thomas) In a rural community in Georgia a young white man, who was teaching in the public schools, called this class together and lectured to them on the race question. He told his class that recently how he had taken part in a lynching, describing in every detail the conduct of the victim while the fearful punishment was being inflicted upon him and wound up by telling how the mole stepped back a certain distance and riddled the Negro's body with bullets. He told this story with the assurance of one who had performed a public service, but to his surprise, the patrons who were told by the students became indignant and the whole country side was inflamed with the spirit of resentment. The spirit of mob violence and disregard for law and order that manifest itself in a certain form of barbarianism is not confined to the ignorant white necroid as is sarcinus illustrated. The one-element of encouragement and sign of hope was, in the fact that the superintendent of the county, when told of the incident, discharged this teacher, with the absolute backing and support of the public sentiment of the majority of the community. A man who is known to have participated in a lynching ought to lose his position; he should lose his liberty, if hot his life. A WARNING NOTE As the New Year 1923 has dawned upon it, I want to "shake the beds" and wake the colored brethren from their lethargy. Undue advantage has been taken against the colored race all along the line, and thorns and stumbling blocks have been stretched across its pathway. And this will ever be until the twelve millions of colored citizens wake up and start something" to free themselves of the alavish entaglement of treacherous so-called friends in the Republican party all right, but it is in the hands of one hundred per cent, grafters, white and black, who don't care rap for anybody or anything save their own selfish gain! Then awake! my race, and put on thy strength, and go forth to battle for your rights and equal privileges as American citizens. What the colored race needs, more than ever, is true leadership, leaders who don't place themselves too high above their race; leaders who really and truly have the interest of their people at heart. Twelve millions of colored citizens haven't one representative in the United States Congress to speak for them. Why is this? Have they no leaders? A. D. 1923 calls for a right-about face for the colored race. We have leaders among us, or men who have the intelligence to lead, but they must be taught that the race is no longer to be sold for a mess of pottage; that it is reaching out for its God-given and American Constitutional rights. The so-called leaders take up too much time fighting among themselves to accomplish much in the interest of the race generally. On the other hand, the race doesn't seem to stand back of and cheer its leaders as it should do. And here's another thing: Quit throwing your leaders down every time they are assailed by white men who are enemies to your race and leaders. We are passing through a crucial period, my people. The colored race should look forward to sending several Representatives and Senators to Congress in 1924. But the bells of 1923 have rung. O awake and list to the sound! Watch your step! Quit fight- PAGE FIVE ing those who may be really honest and capable and worthy of leadership and send a few colored Representatives to Congress in 1924. J. C. CUNNNGHAM Washington, D. C. Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: The past year in race relations, in spite of some "hackwashes," has brought to light many striking and valuable evidences of inter-racial cooperation and good-will. At this holiday season, I wish to express to you and your associates, who have been serving all Americans through The New York Age, the hearty thanks of Hampton Institute for your friendly and constant support of the work which we have tried to do through the Hampton Institute Press Service. If Dr. James E. Gregg knew of my writing to you at this time, I am sure that he would wish to express to you his own thanks and those of his coworkers for your unfailing cooperation. As I look back over my sixteen years of service at Hampton Institute, I am profoundly impressed with the power of the Negro press in moulding American public opinion in favor of giving justice to disadvantaged people. I hope that during the coming year we shall have the same cooperation between The New York Age and Hampton Institute which has been maintained for many years. With best wishes to you for a Merry Christmas and a prosperous, happy New Year, I am Very solcerely yours, WM. ANTHONY AERY, Hampton, Va. Newport News, Va.-T. H. Webster, 749-24th street, C. E.

THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS Commonwealth Wins Close Game From Bronx Collegians Colored Players Off Form, Are Not Playing Up To Standard Set In Beginning of Season-Charged With Breaking Training Colored I.-C. A. A. Had Delegate at National Ass'n. The Commonwealth Big Five barely missed out the Bronx Collegians at Manhattan Casino on New Year's Night, having to play an extra five minutes to break a tie score. The final score was 31-34. When the game started it looked like another easy victory for the colored team, as Fial and Jennings were shooting from all angles, and the Bronx team made only two field goals during the first half. The score stood 21-4 at this time. With the opening of the second half the fans received a painful surprise, for the Collegians seemed to be able to shoot at will and the local team was unable to break up their superior passing. In twenty minutes they had scored twenty-five points, while the Commonwealth Five scored only three goals and two fouls. Five extra minutes was agreed upon to play off the tie score, and for the first two minutes of this time neither side scored. Finally Frost, the star forward for the Collegians, broke through the Commonwealth guards and scored a field goal. Despite the fact that there was only about two minutes left to play, the colored team seemed to be spurred on by his goal, and after caging three fouls, "Fat" Jenkins came through with the final field goal just a few seconds before the whistle ended the game. The entire audience breathed a sigh of relief and cheered lustily for the losers, who had put up such a game fight. The annual meeting of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which was held at the Hotel Astor on December 28, was attended by Charles H. Williams, secretary-treasurer of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association and head of the physical department at Hampton Institute. Representatives were present from all of the white colleges of the country, and a general discussion of athletic conditions in the country was conducted by the coaches and representatives of the various schools. On Wednesday night, the football coaches gave a banquet to the delegates, at which time addresses were made by W. W. Roper of Princeton, "Tad" Jones of Vale, Grantland Rice of the New York Tribune and other well known football men. On Thursday evening another banquet was tendered the delegates by the association. Mr. Williams is away from Hampton on a year's leave of absence, and is doing work in physical education in the graduate school of Harvard University While in the city he called at The Age office. CHICAGO DEFENDER FIVE DEFEATED BY N. Y. FIVE The eastern campaign of the original Chicago Defender five received a setback at Manhattan Casino on Thursday night. December 28, when the New York Defender team defeated the Chicago team 24-29. Only Duff, Anderson and Winters of last year's Chicago team were in the game on Thursday night, and the work of Elutt and Hubbard was much missed. It may have been partly due to the absence of a crowd, but the game lacked spirit. The New York team showed marked improvement over their last game and took the lead early in the first half, which they maintained throughout the game. The playing of Grant, Anderson and Lowery was the best for the local team, while Winters and Duff wert the outstanding players on the Chicago team. The summary of the game was as follows: CHICAGO (24) NEW YORK (29) Bowles Tutner Anderson Lowery Duff Grant Winters Z. Anderson Jackson Butler Field goals—Chicago: Duff 3, Winters 2, Jackson 2, Bowles 1 and Anderson 1; New York: Grant 5, Anderson 3, Lowery 3 and Turner 2; foul goals—Winters 6 out of 19 for Chicago; Lowery 3 out of 5 for New York; referee—Hubbard of the Commonwealth Big Five N. J. ALUMNI GIVES BANQUET TO LINCOLN Because of the prominence of New Jersey boys on the past season's Lincol- n University eleven, the New Jersey alum- nium of that institution tendered a banquet to the team at the home of Dr. George C. Cannon, 354 Pacific avenue, Jersey Day, on Friday evening, December 29. Most of the football squad was present, at Brown, Flooring, Byrd and McLean, New Jersey boys who starred in the Howard-Lincoln game, with Coach Law gave the guests of honor. The affair was attended by a large number of the Howard alumni and their friends. INDIAN A. C. BEATEN BY ATLAS BIG PIVE (Handled to the New York Age) Long Branch, N. J.-The Indian A. S., colored champions of Mammoth wrest, down to defeat at the paws of the Atlas Big Five, 25-21, on December 27. The game was impressed by a large holiday crowd, it was the most exciting of the sea- Although the Commonwealth Big Five looked invincible a few weeks ago, their experience of the past week is convincing proof that they can be heaten, and unless they realize the necessity for keeping regular hours and training as the white teams do, they will be defeated by a number of teams with far less ability and experience. The trouble with them on New Year's night seemed to be too much celebration on New Year's eye. That the Irony team was able to make such a sensational comeback in the second half of the game was in parity due to the fact that Kellett outjumped and outplayed Slocum at center and that Forbes blundered in taking Hubbard out of the game instead of coming out himself "Fat" Jenkins seemed to be the only member of the team at his best, and without a doubt saved the game for his team.

"Battling" Sikl tiled a suit in the civil courts today against Paul Rosseau, President of the French Boxing Federation, for annulment of his nine months disqualification and for restoration of his title of European heavyweight champion, which he won from Georges Carpenter. The suit is a result of Rosseau's failure to answer a formal summons served upon him last week directing him to produce within three days the records upon which Sikl was disqualified. The Senegal's boxer reasserts, in the action begun today, his contention that the federation's action was illegal because he was not allowed to give his testimony. LARRY ESTRIDGE KNOCKS OUT SAM BRANCH Larry Estridge, former amateur mid-eleightweight champion, added another knockout victory to his list when he scored a quick knockout over Trucky Sam Branch in the star bout at the 15th Armory Tuesday night, January 2. Branch started slugging as the bout opened, but Estridge promptly put him on the defensive by tabbing with his left. Before the round had gone hardly two minutes, Estridge landed a "kindy" punch which almost paralyzed Branch, who beat double and fell to the floor. He was unable to rise, and had to be carried to his corner. The defeat of Branch is the eighth straight victory for Estridge at this armory, all of which have been won by the knockout route excepting one and that with Alex Gibbons, the hardest man in the armory to knock out. Estridge's weight was announced as 155 pounds and that of his opponent, 160. The best fight of the night was the semi-final 10 round bout between Mike Corrier of the 102dn Regiment and Jack McVey of the 109th. McVey won the judges' decision, but the fight was close throughout. McVey's mose was an easy target for a left jab, and by continually jabbing him, Carrier made him miss many punches and saved himself a severe heating. McVey was the more aggressive, and when he did land his blows were more effective. The bout was full of action and highly enjoyed by the large number who witnessed it. Both fighters weighed 147 1-2 pounds in this contest. Kid Rocco, who has been fighting all comers at this army for the past few months, was knocked out in the third round of a 4 round preliminary bout by Steve Marcon. And in the other preliminary, Danny Lucas, knocked out Kid Leonard in the second round, after flooring him several times in the first. The innovation of Matchmaker Danny Ewards in having "ladies night" went over big, as the bouts were witnessed by a large number of women. AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE Coleman Brothers of the Lafayette Theatre have secured what promised to be another big show for next week, the attraction being "Broadway of 1923." This show will be presented with a new company, with new songs and scenery. Among the cast, which is said to be a better singing group than has been seen in Harlem for many months, are: Russell and Russell, Carleton Winiford, Cecile McIntyre, Iris Hall and others. This week The Lafayette is presenting a good sauvède hill, headed by Mamie Smith and her Jazz Hound. Miss Smith continues to be the most popular "blues" singer in the country, and has a number of new songs including the "Mamie Smith Blues" and "Don't Mess With Me." Her hand also received a big hand for its novel and jazz music. AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE "The Prisoner of Zenda," which has thrilled thousands who have read the book or seen the play, has been made into a photoplay by Kex. Ingram, the man who leaped into the front rank of motion picture directors by his production of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." This Metro picture, which comes to the Lincoln Theatre this week, preserves all three elements which made the Edward Rose stage version of the novel by Anthony Hope, on which the photoplay is based, so popular. It is a story of the adventures of Rudolf Rassendyll, a young Englishman who for a time became the king of the mythical country of Ruritania and who won the love of the Princess Flavia, after a series of plot and counterplots during which he is compelled to fight for his life. Beautiful settings, gorgeous costumes, and an exceptional cast contribute to make this romance one which will be talked about by all layers of good pictures. In the cast are Lewis Stone, Robert Efelson, Alice Terry, Stuart Holmes, Ramon Navarro, Barbara La Matti, Mabolon McGregor, Edward Counselly and Loie Lee. The adaptation was done by Mary O'Hara and the photography by John F. Sietz. "RED" PARKER TO CAPTAIN ST. PAUL Lawrenceville, Va.--Wallace Thomas ("Red") Parker has been unanimously elected to lead St. Paul's football team for 1923. He is from Midlothian, Va., and was fullback on the 1922 team. He is a hard, consistent player, well up in his classes, and his election is approved by the faculty. Twenty-two "letter" men participated in the election, which was held during the annual banquet to the football players. Thirty-seven boys were at the banquet. The Athletic Council, Rev. J. Alvin Russell, chairman, has awarded the "St. P." monogram to eight players, namely: Blackwell, Bund, Coleman, Collins, Cuffee, Maddux, Martin, Miller, Parker, Pierce, Rivers, Spady, Vaughan, Walker, Williams (Junius), Williams (Lawyer), Williams (Leroy). A hard schedule faces the 1923 team but Captain E Parker will have only two of the 1922 team, he tentative program shows games programed at Lawrenceville with Virginia Seminary, Howard, National Training School, St. Augustine School Other games proposed are Hampon at Hampon; Union at Richmond, Lincoln at Philadelphia; Shaw University at Raleigh.

BORDENTOWN TEAM MAKES FINE RECORD (Special To The New York Age) Bordentown, N.J. The football eleven of Bordentown Industrial School had its first work out for the 1922 season just ten days before its first game. Under Major Daniel's effective coaching the team went to Philadelphia on September 30 and beat Wichita chicken 27 to 0. Ten games were played and Bordentown lost only one game, that with the Lincoln University "Lions." Games were scheduled so close to together during the latter part of the season that the team, in eight days, travelled 364 miles, playing four games, incidentally winning them all. The final THE FALL of BABYLON game was against a team of ex-collegians, representing Biddle, Lincoln, Howard and Wilberforce Universities, played on the grounds of the Shady Rest Golf Club at Westfield, N. J., on Thanksgiving Day. The school boys won, 45 to 0.

Now that the New Year is here with its new resolutions and promises made by the ten to be kept after the pound, before we can commit off to the same procedure, we desire to extend to the editors of The Ace our sincere wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year. And when we are about to we are going to indulge in a bit of retrospection. About six months ago we went to Mr. Moore with the request that he kindly allow us space in his paper to mention what the Pullina operter was thinking and doing, adding that "most of the other papers had a Pullman porters' column, but it seemed he had overlooked us." He politely informed us that the price of the Age was its own; he also intimated that they were he best judges as to the kind of news they send print, but he said it was his priority to help each and every group in whatever way he could.

After getting his permission we were in a quandary as to what sort of news we send, because we did not want to submit personal news entirely, for that would only reach or interest the porter of the vicinity. We wanted to attract the attention of all porters, whether East, North, South or West. Then, too, we desired to counteract the impression prevalent among many of our people, especially those South, that the average Pullman porter thinks only of rum, common women, and low songs. We are still undecided as to how far we have proceeded in that line. Bue we have been encouraged in many other ways and from various sources. A prominent eye specialist, whom we met recently, thought our ideas were good about the porter and what he said about our cousin did not make us feel angry. A certain tailor remarked, "you are not doing so badly for a Pullman porter"; and our friend, the Red Cap, gives us a weekly encouragement. All this may seem bad taste, perhaps it is, from writer's standpoint, but we are not trying to make that grade; we are simply mentioning the endeavors of a porter and the kindness of this paper. COMMONWEALTH WINS FROM DEFENDER FIVE The original Chicago Defender basketball team of Chicago proved to be the easiest team the Commonwealth Big Five has played this season. At Commonwealth Casino on Sunday night, December 31, the ocal team more than doubled the score on the Chicago boys, and could have rolled up an even larger one had they played harder. The final score of the game was 23:50, with the Commonwealth scoring all of her points on field goals. Despite the fact that the Chicago team was outclassed, the game was fast and clean and was thoroughly enjoyed by the large number of spectators present. Paul Robertson, star football player and former member of the St. Christopher Kel and Black Macine, has been added to the Commonwealth lineup and showed some of his oldtime form at center in the second half of the game. Bowles and Green did the best work for the Chicago team, with the former shooting the majority of the field goals. The work of Winters, one of the few members from last year's team, was so disappointing that he was taken out at the end of the first half. For the team Daly's 63rd St. The Midnight performance Wed.

SHALL THE UNION CAMPAIGN BE SUCCESSFULLY (By Ruth R. Dennis) Some time ago a large committee of ministers of all denominations gave Mr. Fred R. Moore and discussed plans to rid Harlem of its not which is killing hundreds of thousands of young Mormon men and women who are already here and reparading other hundreds of thousands who are migrating here amitant. They ministers were most anxious to do something to help, so after several discussions it was thought that a union revival would be the most effective way to accomplish good. What can they do of themselves? They have been working for years to build up the morale of the Negro and why have they not succeeded. Why will the campaign fail to be a success which has been so well planned? It will fail miserably unless the members of all churches concerned wake up to a sense of their duty and "work above it is day, for the night cometh." Why is the Negro of today, hated and despised more than any other race? Why is it that the Negro cannot seem to go this head above the waters of prejudice and stand upon his feet and demand respect and compel the world to praise that he is one of the highest types of civilization? I ask why should these things be? They cannot be otherwise until the Negro especially in the church, has the companionship of One who said, "Without Me, we can do nothing." Our fathers and mothers had this companionship and long after they passed beyond the blessings of their spiritual heritage have followed the race for nearly sixty years and it made progress unbound of before in the history of the world. But conditions are changing and we see taking the place of God-fearing men and women, thousands and thousands of young men and women who have no respect for the church, who never attend, year in and year out, more and more wrapped up in pleasure and anxious for a good time; other thousands of men who will not work and allow foolish, half-crazy women to support them—such as the "pump" and good-for-nothing scamp who stands on corners dressed up, night and day, annoying women who pass; then we find thousands of men and women in the church who live imporal lives, steal, lie, and then shout loudest on Sundays, and pray the longest prayers and give the most striking testimone's. With super classes pulling down the race hide of the church and out what will the outcome be unless the decent, chaste, courageous people side with their pugnets and fight, fight, fight. The time has come when the people in the church who will not do right should be PUT OUT. If Christ had command for His House to be filled with faith, He would not have beaten those who sold and bought and told them that "My Father's House is a House of Prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves." The only salvation of the Negro is in God's hand and Ethiopia is stretching forth her hand unto Him, but unless she changes her way of living she will resolve nothing but more lynchings, prejudices, rage hatred, jimcrowism and everything horrible. So in this great meeting to be held at Commonwealth Casino will the thousand of members help the pastors by consecrating themselves to God, and with a chapious Godly life become a personal worker and pledge themselves to be responsible for at least ten people and be an example for them to follow? When the church gets to the place where it can stand without spot or wrinkle, with open arms to receive the victims of sin from dens and dives, when the members live such lives that the world cannot laugh and say, "Why, I am better than those in the church," then and only then will all men say joyfully—"I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the House of the Lord."

J.-On a tip received by the police that George Green, a roomer at 238 Broome street, was wanted for murder in New York State, Green was arrested early last Sunday morning by Patrolman Bailey and Carr of the Fourth Precinct.

The St. Christopher Red and Black Machine lost its first basketball game of the season to the Borough Athletic Club at New Star Casino on New Year's afternoon. The score of the game was 22-16. The game was witnessed by a large holiday crowd, including many Brooklynites and was exciting throughout. The Brooklyn team took the lead early in the game, and despite the figluing spirit of the St. Christopher team and the many changes of Coach Bradford, they were kept on the defensive in most of the game. Neither George Capers nor his brother, Johnmie, staged their promised comeback. The best playing for the local team was done by Mayer and Napolitan. For the Brooklyn team, W. Brown, a new player on the team was the star. He gives promise of becoming one of the best forwards in the city. The lineup and summary of the game was as follows: Substitutes—Borough: W. Brown for Wilson and Miles for J. Brown. St. Christopher: Napolean for Garcia. Key for Cain and Austin for J. Capery; fied goals—Borough: W. Brown 2, W. Scott 2. J. Brown 1. Wilson 1. St. Christopher: Naplean 2. Mayer 1. George Capers 1; foula—Borough: 8 out of 17; St C. Christopher 8 out of 16; referee, O'Brien. N. Y. Defenders Down Spartana. After watching the Commonwealth Collegiate game at Manhattan, Casino on New Year's night the basketball fans were keyed to a high pitch of enthusiasm for the game that followed. In this game the New York Chicago Defender five scored a close victory over the Spartan Braves by a score of 22-25. The game was marred by rough playing by both sides, although it was close and exciting. About ten minutes before the end of the game the Spartans had a five point lead over their opponents, and it looked as though they would win, but with the substituting of Huggins for Saunders, this ead was soon cut down to one point, and in a few minutes Sol Butler had put his team in front. Wallace was the only member of the Spartan team who lineup who seemed able to shoot, while Sol Butler was the outstanding player for his team. The summary: Spartans (22) Defenders (25) Stewart R. F. Anderson Wallace L. F. Saunders Mondt C Grant Rhone R. G. Butler Ritchie L. G. Turner Substitute--Huggins for Saunders of the Defenders; field goals--Spartans: Wallace 5, Ritchie 2, Stewart 1, Mondt: Defenders:Butler 3, Huggins 2, Turner 2, Grant 2, Anderson 1.

On Thursday night at ten o'clock closing time for the young people's activities, and a time when we older folks are beginning to feel somewhat jaded and as if the next day's enthusiasm will have to wait on a night's rest, one of the girls—just from the swimming contest—dashed across the lobby in a whirl of youthful spirit and joyousness to her mother, who whispered to her. Will she help overwhelm over each other she assured the mother that indeed the hike planned for the next day was to take place in spite of snow and sleet; that Miss Nelson said, "Who cared about a little rain?" And in the same breath she began to make appointments with some of the other girls—who were just as eager as she—at seven o'clock the next morning. They all crowded out of the door laughing and chattering and leaving from a room of refreshment. I think that those of us looking on all felt, "How lovely is a young girl and how worthwhile any effort that helps her to develop in a happy, normal fashion." They did go on the hike the next day! They went through VanCortlandt Park, marvelous in its beauty of ice and snow, and returned to the building about four o'clock with enough energy left to turn on the victoria and have another frolic in the large club room.

A large congregation was present at the 11 o'clock service on Sunday morning, December 31, at Mother Zion Church. The sermon was preached by the pastor, Dr. J. W. Brown. His subject was "the Art of Forgetting." The sermon was preached with the idea in mind that it was to be a farewell expression relative to the failures and accomplishments of the old year. Its purpose was also to give inspiration by relating the noble accomplishments and encouraging the people to continue their efforts to master their accomplishments. The divine power that enabled success and the infinite wisdom that directed in the work were also strongly emphasized. This sermon might be considered one of the masterpieces of the pastor's efforts in sermon building and delivery. Spiritual encouragement and effort in the direction of material benefit were the outstanding feature of entire course. Indeed a sermon that not only greatly enjoyed, but also highly beneficial, The valuable services of the assistant pastor, Rev. A. E. Hendricks, gives the pastor more time for study and the preparation of sermons. Invitation was given by Bishop J. S. Caldwell for persons to give heart to the church with the church. Eleven persons came forward and were received. The total number joining during the day was twenty-two. At 2 o'clock, Sunday-school convened. There was a large attendance. Bishop J. S.
