Raceigh, N. C.—The "Great High Priest" of the Democratic party in the Old North State, Revenue Commissioner A. D. Watts, known generally as "Col. Aug. Watts," has taken a most disastrous tumble from his high estate. Police officers visited his rooms in the Shepherd building on the night of January 28, and found a colored woman, Grace Grantham, hiding under his bed, while Robert McDuffe and Nina Bailey, both colored, were also present. The entire group, the white man, two colored women and one colored man, were taken to the police station. Col. Watts was released on bond of $1,500, while the colored man and women were released without bond.
Harlem Readers Are Good Borrowers, Poor Returners
135th Street Library Officials Complain That More Borrowed Books Were Not Returned During Last Year Than There Were New Books Purchased.
"I am not goin to tell a 4—d lie about it. I am ruined and I shall regina. This was the ultimatum delivered by Col. Watts to hosts of friends who were trying to shield him from the disgrace that inevitably followed upon disclosure of his illicit and immoral acts. One of his friends even offered to take upon himself the Burden of guilt, but the erring man would have no various sacrifice. It was suggested that sickness might be pleaded with, with the colored woman and man present as nurses and attendants, another suggestion as that a plea of intoxication might minimize the offense or that the calpability mithf

Recent happenings indicate that New York city, the Harlem section especially, is being allied with a recrudecence of fortune tellers, clairvoyants, and other sharpers and fakirs of the same class. It is said that it is possessing the individual whose trust is in the word and dark mysticisms practiced by those entry to secure powders potent and powerful—or at least they are charged with possessing potency and powder—that will bring back the most recalcitrant wanderer from love's elixium, either male or female, or remove the most upwarding obstacle in the path of uncommitted desire, and it will cost only $1 or more if the victim, appears prosopus
One of the objectives of this variety of bookkeeping hands is boldly and without a similitude of fear a card on which is inscribed following his name, a list of the names he seeks to survey: "Loads-Trees, Love Charms, Lucky Charms, Incentive." Just why the incense is included in the list is a subject of speculation but it is probable that all the orders of Arab or of Egypt are not sufficient to another the rankness of the act of these harpies who prey on people's appetitions.
It is evidently a profitable proposition, because the information at hand is to the effect that the ranks of those handling these reagents of most doubtful properties are being swelled by the addition of an number of drug stores, on lower levels, especially, which find the handling on alleged charms of various ways to be a profitable and lucrative business. Thus, it is alleged that there are a number of so-called ministers of various hitherto unheard of religions who make their daily rounds a means of distributing to their credulous and training adherents the potents and charms that are expected to bring the freedom of cherished desires.
An element which contributes to the safety of these illegal vendors is that most of the clients are engaged in unhappy and unpleasant aspirations to venture
Harlem Readers, Borrowers,
135th Street Library Office
Borrowed Books Were New Year Than These Were I
Patrons of the West 135th street branch of the New York Public Library are indicating their appreciation of the service rendered in a manner that is not to the satisfaction of the library authorities. According to officials, Harlem readers failed to return to the library more borrowed books than there were new books purchased during 1922. Whatsoever it may indicate as so the measure of the readers' appetite for good reading matter for all the community if book borrowers could have enough heart to bring back the volumes in accordance with the stipulations agreed to when applications for readers' cards are made out and closed.
A special investigator, employed by the New York Public Library, whose sole duty is to trace these persons of the branch libraries who "forget" to bring Lock borrowed books, said The age that when similar conditions were found existing in an east-side branch, patronized largely by a foreign element, matters were only remediated after a decade of arrests had been made, and those abused the library privileges and charges of petty larceny.

To all these, the sticken man, courageous in his last grasp, would not yield. Defying his fate, he cried, "They've got me, and I am not going to tell a damn he about it!"
Col. Watts is described as the most picturesque political character known to North Carolina politics in the past fifty years. He was the stern Iron Chancellor of his party. He made governors and senators, and made them too, as he felt the urge. Consequently he has made scores of enemies, who have tried, time and again.

Stimulated in the middle of Hartlem, the 130th street branch has a clientele composed almost entirely of colored students. It is the only branch library in the city that has both white and colored assistant librarians on its staff. It is not altogether complimentary to the race that there should exist such a condition so As referred to above. Special interest in facilities offered by the 130th street branch is urged upon residents of Hartlem, but they are also argued not to permit that interest to lead to pervasive possession of books which are the property of the New York Public Library and intended to be of benefit to hundreds of students, and with the help of staff.

Emma Ransom House, Located at 200 West 138th Street, Under Direction of Mrs. Marie Peake Johnson—Building Now Undergoing Renovation.
A branch of the Y. W. C. A. work that is filling a long felt need among the colored people of Harlem is the Emma Ransom House, 200 West 137th street, which offers to young women coming to the city for work or study a safe, clean and orderly home at a moderate price. The home was opened three years ago by the Metropolitan Board of the Y. W. C. A. and is under the direction of Mrs. Marie Peake Johnson. The building is a modern five story structure with 51 rooms, which can accommodate 51 people. During the past year it supplied lodging to 1,281 transient people and 884 who stayed three weeks or longer. A number of the regular residents of the house, who are students have recently formed a dramatic club.
Mrs. Johnson, the director of the house, is a graduate of the music department of Fisk University, and is well known on the concert stage as a member of the Johnson-Taylor-Johnson Trio. She began doing "Y" work at the outbreak of the war in 1917, and was for some time the secretary of the Room Registry Department of the 137th Street Branch. She came to her first position in September of last year, and in less than a year has affected several beneficial changes in the conduct of the house. Among the most important of these changes was the securing of equal representation of colored women with whites on the board of management of the homes. This board is now composed of Mrs. W. N. Rossiter, chairman, Mrs. E. P. Roberts, Mrs. Florence Pattie and Mrs. Elizabeth Michael.
In addition to this improvement, the rooms of the home are now being renovated and the place made more home-like for those who live there. Many of the people who come here are strangers in the city and are given the sympathy and care of Johnson and her staff in accounting work or in their school work. The staff of the home is composed of Mrs. Lillian Palacios and Mrs. Edna Barr, desk assistants, and Mrs. Maud Jones, might supervisor.

Kills, One, Wounds One, In Pool Room Hold Up
Frank Proctor, colored, of 227 West 18th street, is dead; Frank Kelly, white, of the Penn-Post Hotel, is at Bellevue Hospital with a bullet wound in his neck; Shelly Robinson, colored, of 250 West 41st street, is held in $1,000 bail for having an automatic pistol, following a visit made by the three men, and another white man who escaped, to the pool room at 241 West 41st street, managed by William Douglass, colored. Douglass claims that the four men entered his poolroom at an early hour on Sunday morning, February 4, when he was known to be in possession of a large sum of money following Saturday night's heavy business, and attempted to hold him up. He perished and began firing. Proctor fallen dead on the threshold as he was trying to get away and Kelly being caught by the police as he was attempting to get into a taxi-cab to make his getaway. The second white man made good his escape; but Robinson was fund running away by the half doren policemen who came on a run; the police arrested him and found an automatic in his pocket. Disputing the charge by Douglass that it was a holdup, Kelly declares that the party were visiting the poolroom to finish an argument with Douglass which had been started several days previous. Douglass was arrested and held without bail in the Jefferson Market Court, while Robinson was held in $1,000 for violation of the Sullivan law.
Newark, N. J.—That William E. B. Battle, sentenced to be electrocuted during the week of February 11 for the murder of Mrs. Eleanor Louise Brigham, white, in Orange, two days after Christmas, is a "simple dementia praecox" on insane, was the report made last Tuesday by Dr. Charles A. Rosewater of 40 Miford avenue, and Dr. Ambrose Dowd of 311 Mt. Prospect avenue, to Prosecutor Biglow and Judge Steckel. The two physicians had been retained by Mrs. Carrie Battle, mother of the convicted man, and made a mental examination of Battle last Monday afternoon at the death house at Trenton.
William B. Brandon, Battle's counsel, announced after the two physicians had made their report, that he would probably apply to a Supreme Court of justice for an inquiry to be made as to Battle's sanity. Under this procedure, the counsel said, the justice would appoin the two physicians who reported and two of the justice's own choosing to examine the man. If this could be done immediately, he would apply, for a stay of execution, be said.
According to the report of the physicians, Battle did not process the physical force to commit the murder and execution. That he had put the question

Congressman Martin C. Ansorge of the 21st New York district has been notified by the Navy Department that there are two vacancies at Annapolis Naval Academy which are to be filled from the 21st N. Y. He is requested to nominate one principal and three alternates for each of these vacancies, the nomination to be made before March 4, 1923.
And the opportunity is laid by Congressman Ansorge before the boys of New York City, residing in the 21st district, regardless of race, to secure this covered appointment.
ANY BOY, colored or white, not under sixteen or over twenty years of age on April 1, 1923, of good physique and moral character, may enter this contest. Congressman Amorge has arranged with the U. S. Civil Service Commission to hold a special examination at the S. Custom House. New York City at 9 o'clock a.m. on Saturday, February 17, 1923, and from the results of this examination the examination will be made. The two highest marks he must be made in principle, and the most daily, will be required in order to first, second and third place of admission.
And celerity was left to Mr. DeVaughn's moving because of the seeming mystery that pervaded the happenings. He alleges that on both occasions, the first during last August and the second on January 19, last, he had left his room door securely locked and returned later to find the door apparently as he had left it, only to discover when he entered his room that his belongings had been despoiled and ravished.
In telling The Age of his experiences while a resident of the Y. M. C. A. dormitory, Mr. DeVaughn declared that after the alleged robberies had occurred, there was only the most curtury kind of an investigation conducted by the secretary and other officials, and that there was no effort whatever put forth to secure the cooperation of constituted authorities in an endeavor to discover the perpetrator or perpetrators of the alleged criminal acts.
Say Three Rooms Were Entered.
His story of the alleged occurrence is to the effect that on a Sunday in August of last year, three rooms on the sixth floor were occupied by valuables removed. All of the doors were locked when the occupants left, and in every case, said DeVaughn, entrance was made without visible sign of violence, indicating that the intruder was either in possession of a master key, or else was the possessor of uncanny skill in picking locks. To add to the mystery, all the doors were found locked as usual by the occupants on their return.
From Mr. DeVaughn's room was taken a kodak; from the room occupied by Fred Gardner, a gold watch and $8 in cash and from another room, Joseph Carter reported the loss of $30 in cash. Lacking action by the Y. Y. said enlisted the service of a detective in an effort to trace his watch. Just three weeks ago, the story is that the detective reported Gardner, a garden watch, be located in a downtown workshop. And just at that time DeVaughn says that his room was again entered in the same mysterious manner, and that three suits of clothes, two pairs of white tennis trousers, or overcoat, several shirts, including two silk and two white tennis shirts, socks, handkerchiefs, and a suitcase, containing summer underwear and a number of personal papers of value to no one save DeVaughn were taken. The alleged theft left a souvenir, however an old, worn dilapidated overcoat, it place of the very good one which belonged to DeVaughn.
Again was the loss reported to the "Y" office, but, as before, the charge is that the complaint secured no results. When the victim insisted that local police authorities should be called in, he declares he was informed that such procedure would be useless. When DeVaughn reported his loss to the 38th Precinct, 135th street station, he

Applicants who want to try for this appointment should write to office on Congressman M. C. Ansporge, room 170, House Office Building, Washington, D.

This preliminary examination is to be held under authority of an executive order which provides that a number of congress may insist the Civil Service Commission, and in working qualifications of applicants, for appointment to Annapolis. The expense of this examination is paid entirely by Congressman Anorge. Its result will have no effect upon the considered chances at Annapolis, final success defending entirely upon the Annapolis ownests, to be held on the third Wednesday in April, 1923.
Last year Congressman Anorge nominated Emile Travaille, Shailor of young colored boy, for Annapolis, but badly failed in the Academy examination.

has been writing letters to various supporters of the party, asking that they pledge quarterly payments of $10 for use of the Republican party. Among those receiving such a letter was Whittefield McKinlay. Washington's well known colored real estate, loans and insurance broker, with office at 810 F street, northwest.
Mr. McKinley has replied to Congres-
manialist Robert D. McNamara's better
letter, in which he says:
January 17, 1923.
Hon: Carl W. Riddick
House of Representatives
Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. Riddick:
I have your communication of January 15 requesting a pledge of Ten Dollars every three months, for the benefit of the Republican party and to stern the tide of radicalism, socialism and general lawlessness coming down upon the country like an avalanche.
For many years I have been a steadily contributor to the Republican campaign fund and have otherwise helped to push forward the cause of the party, but I frankly confess that my enthusiasm to this direction has greatly waned since the inception of the present administration.
I am a colored American trained under the political school of Rosecoe Conkling, Charles Summer and Thaddeus Stevens. I have frequently been thrilled by the eloquence of these giants announcing the policies and purposes of the Republican party—I was profoundly grateful for their heroic labors in the cause of human liberty and more especially the liberty of my race.
Was Grateful to Grant
I. was profoundly grateful to General Ulysses S. Grant for the immortal stand he took in defense of colored soldiers who helped to save the Union in the mighty conflict between the sections, and to many other great Republicans of that and subsequent political periods, who courageously stood by the Great War Amendments as they applied to my race.
In recent years, I have seen so much of Republican indifference to the righteous claims of colored Americans—so many repudiations of ante-election promises made to them that I have of late been seriously wondering if the nation would suffer any especial calamity at Republican defeat.
Take the matter of political appointments—since the day when General Grant first sent educated colored men abroad in the diplomatic and consular service and appointed them to high posts in practically every branch of the civil service—posts requiring Senatorial confirmation, it has been an established custom of the party to recognize colored Americans by scores of Presidential appointments and congratulation followed as a logical result.
McKinley Named 26.
When President McKinsey died by an assassin's bullet in 1901, there were tweney-six coolred men and women holding Presidential appointments under the federal government and the records they have left for efficiency is of the highest character. There were some eliminations under his successors, but the policy was continued under President Roosevelt and Up to date the present administration was made two Presidential appointments as a recognition of the loyalty support accorded it by over one half million registered colored voters, and the party in Congress, following the identical procedure which characterized it's failure to put over the Federal Election Bill, did not even demonstrate sufficient character to enact the Dyer-lynchning Bill, promised in last Republican platform, and which would have made millions of colored men and women breathe just a little easier had it been enacted
Moreover, in spite of the great intellectual, moral and material progress which has been made by colored Americans since they stepped out of the chairs of slavery, AND to which I have been an eye witness in the course of a long lifetime—in spite of their indispensable contributions to the economic welfare of the nation, and their setotic services on the battlefields wherever the flag has gone, we now hear it whispered that it is a question as to whether or not any colored man can be confirmed by a Republican Senate.
Party Atmosphere Changed
The whole atmosphere of the Republican Party has changed so far as my racial group is concerned, and I have about, given up any hope that legislation looking to an enforcement of the Constitutional rights of the race will ever be enacted by that party.
Only the strong should be put in power in any country in a Republic based upon the fundamental idea of real, and political equality, none but the righteous and the strong should
The great early leaders of your party left you a legacy of such righteousness and strength, that had its spirit been caught and applied to the evil forces which now mourn the life of the Republic when they first reared their hideous heads in the darkness, one would be alarmed today at the very general lawlessness which has erupted systematically every phase of their life.
The constitution of the United States had it been enforced when it was first sampled into the dues by Southern academies, who starting with dischaining millions of loyal citizens, then developing into murderous raids, then until it has become a seasonal and daily custom, spreading terror among a peaceable people—had it been enforced, I repeat: In this instance and the lawless element brought to justice, lawlessness would have been placed where it first originated and a respect for our fundamental law would have been incarulated into every citizen.
Make "A Scrap of Paper."
The face that receives States here is allowed to reduce the Constitution the United States to a "cage of in their dialogue with armed enemies, spared a dispute where lies distraction has spread and is attaching to accord to all parts of the
criticisms in this general lawlessness because they have had the power and tools the qaibs in which they swore to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies both foreign and domestic. This party has not and is not performing its duty, either to the colored citizens of the country or to the whites, for law enforcement to preserve the rights of colored men would have prevented the whites from developing that progressive moral degeneracy which is now leading them to Sadism especially at the South.

COLORED BUILDERS IN NATIONAL ASS'N.
First Annual Conference at Hampton Institute Attended by 80 Race Contractors.
Hampton, Va.—The National Builders' Association was formed at the closing session of the first annual Hampton Institute builders' conference, which brought together from thirty-seven cities and towns and from twelve schools and colleges, for three days, over eighty leading colored builders and contractors, as well as others who are interested in developing the building industry.
The following officers were elected: Charles T. Russell, Richmond, president; W. T. Courtney, Atlanta, vicepresident; H. Whittimore Brown, Hampton Institute, secretary-treasurer; A. L. Manly, Philadelphia, chairman, executive committee, and C. H. Evans, Tuskegee Institute, member of executive committee. A committee was appointed to draw up a plan of organization; H.

Representative Gathering.
Members of the builders' conference were from sections of the country, reaching from Alabama to New York. Some of the cities represented were Atlanta, Lynchburg, Roanoke, Norfolk, Suffolk, Williamsburg, Hampton, Phoebus, Richmond, Petersburg, Charlotteville, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Some of the educational institutions represented were Tuskegee Institute, Fort Valley High and Industrial Institute, Spelman Seminary, Christenburg Institute, St. Paul Normal and Industrial Institute, Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, Virginia Union University, Virginia Manual labor School, St. Euphemia Industrial and Agricultural College, Gloucester Agricultural and Tudor School, Bordentown Manual Training Industrial School, and Hampton Institute.
Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in his address of welcome, expressed his appreciation of the cooperation which had been given by Hampton-trained colored builders in submitting helpful ideas for the new, two-year, and three-year period in September, 1923, under the direction of H. Whitmore Brown, who is in charge of Hampton Institute's new department of building construction.
The Conference Program
The conference program included the following speakers: Alexander B. Trowbridge, New York, consulting architect; Federal Reserve Board, Arthur A. Shurtleff, Boston, landscape architect; T. Alfred Fleming, New York, National Board of Fire Underwriters; Frank R. Walker, Chicago, contractor, textbook writer and lecturer; Raymond F. Bryant, Stamford, Conn., production engineer; Dudley F. Holtman, Washington, D. C.; Irving H. Cowdrey, Cambridge, Mass., Massachusetts Institute of Technology; W. C. Davis, New York; C. B. Bryant, Washington, D. C.; and J. C. Pearson, Washington, D. C, U. S. Bureau of Standards.
The speakers used lantern slides and motion pictures, as well as exhibits of materials, to drive home their messages. H. Whitmoree Brown, who was in charge of this builders conference, arrived at a series of demonstrations to show the value and use of modern methods and standard materials in building construction.

has been or can be enjoyed by us without having first cost labor. And hence as most good things are produced by labor, it follows that all such things of right belong to those whose labor have produced them. But it has no purpose in all signs of the world, that some have labored, and others have without labor, producing a large proportion of the fruits. This is wrong and should not be done. To get laborer the whole product of his labor, or as many as possible, in a worthy effect of our government.
(From a speech delivered in Chandni to vice).
Our government was so established that our men may do well without any assistance with such things as labor.

can be proved to be the will of Heaven by external nature around us, without reference to Revelation, it is the proposition that whatever any one man earns with his hands and by the sweet of his brow, he shall enjoy in peace."
(From a letter to Dr. Id and others,
written in year)
"To read in the Bible as the Word of God Himself, that in 'The sweat of thy face she shall eat bread' and to preach there from that 'In the sweat of other men faces shall thou eat bread' to my mind can scare be reconciled with honest sincerity. When brought to final reckoning, may I have to answer for robbing no man of his goods; yet more tolerable even this, than for robbing one of himself and all that was his. When a year or two ago those professedly holy men of the South met in the semblance of prayer and devotion and in the name of Him Who said, "As ye would all men should do unto you do ye unto them," appealed to Christian aid in doing to a whole robe of men as they would have no man do unto themselves, to my thinking, they condemned and insulted God and His church far more than Satan did when he tempted the Saviour with kingdoms of the earth. The devil's attempt was no more false and far less hypocritical."

Amendments are virtually nullified. The rights which they were intended to guarantee are denied and held in contempt. The citizenship granted in the Fourteenth Amendment is practically a mockery, and the right to vote, provided for in the Fifteenth Amendment, is literally stamped out in face of government. The old master class is today triumphant, and the newly enfranchised class in a condition but little above that in which they were found before the rebellion.
"Our reconstruction measures were radically defective. They left the former slave completely in the power of the old master, the loyal citizen in the hands of the disloyal rebels against the government; ... In the hurry and confusion of the hour, and the eager desire to have the Union restored, there was more care for sublime superstructure of the republic than for the solid foundation upon which it could alone be upheld. They did not deprive the old master class of the power of the slave and death which was the son of the relation of master and slave. They could not of course sell them, but they retained the power to starve them to death, and wherever the slave is held, there is the power of slaves. He who can go to his fellow-man, "You shall serve me or me seize." is a master, and his subjugation is a slave. This was seen and felt by Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Sumner, and leading stalwart Republicans, and had their counsels prevailed the terrible evils from which we now suffer would have been averted.
"The Negro today would not be on his knees, abjectly supplicating the old master class to give him leave to toil. Nor would he now be leasing the South as from a doomed city and seeking a home in the uncongenial North, but filling his native soil in comparative independence. Though no longer a slave he is in a thrachem grievous and intolerable, compelled to work for whatever his employer is pleased to pay. His swindled out of his hard earnings by money orders redeemed in stores, compelled to pay a price of an acre of ground to its use during a single year, and four times more than a fair price for a pound of bacon, and be kept upon the narrowest margin between life and starvation.
"The Jews, only a century ago, were despised, hated, and oppressed, but they have defied, met, and vanquished the hard conditions imposed upon them, and are now opulent and powerful, and compel respect in all countries. Greatness does not come to any people on flowery beds like us. We must fight to the prize. No people to liberty is given, can hold it as firmly and wear it as grandly as those who wrench their liberty from the iron hand of tyrant . . .
"With money and property comes the means of knowledge and power. A poverty-stricken class will be an ignorant and despised class, and no amount of sentiment can make it otherwise. This part of our destiny is in our own hands. Every dollar you lay up, represents one day's independence, one day of rest, security in the future, this shall ever come when shall possess in the colored people of the United States, a class of notated for enterprise, industry, economy, and success, we shall no longer have any trouble in the matter of civil and political rights. The battle against popular prejudice will have been fought and won, and in common with all other races and cultures, we shall have an equal chance in the race of life."
Self-Made in Every Particular, In Outstanding Figure in Community, and Best Known Colored Man in Buncombe County—Worth More Than $75,000.
(Special to The New York Age)
Biltmore, N. N. C. The best known colored man in Buncombe county is Lucius W. Williams, a self-made man, religiously and educationally, a machinist and builder, erector of most, of the homes occupied by members of the race in Shiloh, and a number of those in Asheville. He is worth more than 75,000, having earned it all, and with his wife and son occupies one of the most completely furnished homes in Biltmore. He is living the life of a prosperous country, gentleman. He owns a splendid automobile.
Mr. Williams was born in Buncombe county, ten miles from Asheville, and though he owns to 49 years of age, he worked for appearance of a man of 35. He worked for appearance of a man of North Carolina and Tennessee. He served his apprenticeship as a carpenter in Knoxville, Tenn., and his knowledge of the building and contracting business was gained under H. C. Heath
unresentful people that the world has seen. As we have proved our loyalty to you in the past, in nursing your children, watching by the sick-beds of your mothers and fathers, and often following them with tear-dimmed eyes to their graves, so, in the future, in the humble way, we shall stand by you with a devotion that no foreigner can approach, ready to lay down our lives, if need be, in defense of yours, interlacing our industrial, commercial, civil, and religious life with yours in a way that shall make the interests of both races one.
"In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hands in all things essential to mutual progress.
"There is no defense or security for any of us except in the highest intelligence and development of all. If anywhere there are efforts tending to curtail the fullest, growth of the Negro, let those efforts be turned into stimulating encouragement, and making him the most useful and intelligent citizen. Efforts or means so invested will pay a thousand per cent. interest. These efforts will be twice blessed—blessing 'him that gives and him that takes.'
"Nearly sixteen millions of hands will aid you in pulling the load upward, or they will pull the load downward against you. We shall constitute one-third and more of the ignorance and crime of the South, or one-third of its intelligence and progress; we shall contribute one-third to the business and industrial prosperity of the South, or we shall prove a veritable body of death, stagnating, depressing, retarding every effort to advance the body politic."
WEALTHY NEW YORK WOMAN

son was a surprise to her most intimate friends. It came twelve days after the death of Mme. Walker, her mother, and not only was the ceremony unexpected, but the groom was not the one friends had been led to believe would lead her to the altar. The nuptials was celebrated on June 6, 1919, and there have been a number of alleged exciting incidents connected with the home title of Dr. and Mrs. Wilson. It was rumored several times that the couple did not live in harmony and perfect agreement and that they had "agreed to disagree." As many times, this rumor was followed by apparent reconciliations.
Court Suit Over Property.
However, what appears to have been a culmination of the difficulties alleged to confront the couple, came just a few days before Mrs. Wilson left on this last trip. About the middle of December, she filed suit in the Supreme Court of New York seeking to compel her husband, Dr. Wilson, to take title to the town house, located at 108-110 What 136th street, where also is located the New York headquarters of the Mme. C. Walker Mfg. Co.'s enterance. This property was acquired by Mme. Walker, before her death, and it was alleged that from $20,000 to $30,000 were spent in remodelling the property, after which Mme. Walker presented it to her daughter, the present Mrs. Wilson.
Dr. Wilson replied to his wife's allegations, setting up in rebellation a claim that Mts. Wilson had not kept certain pre-marriage promises. He alleged an agreement that called for the transferring to him of the 136th street home, free and clear, and that he was to be given in addition the sum of $10,000 in making such architectural changes in the building as would make it suitable for a doctor's office. In addition, Dr. Wilson asserted that his prospective wife agreed to advance him as wife, such even of rash money as would enable him to maintain the position which would be held by the husband of a woman of wealth.
Severed Former Connections
As a basis for these agreements, Dr. Wilson avers that he agree to sever connections with the Freedmen's Hospital, Washington, where he lived at the time, and that he would make an effort to visit the City, which had emplified in the State of New York to practice medicine. These positions, declared Dr. Wilson, he carried out.

"Y" DORNITORY RESIDENT CHARGES ROOM WAS ROBBED
(Continued from First Page)
was interrogated as to why no report had been made by the Y. M. C. A. officials, and because of that lack, no action was taken.
DoVaughn Decided to Move
And then DeVaughn decided that residence elsewhere might be considerably safer than in the dormitory of the Y. M. C. A., so far as his property was concerned, and he moved to his present address at 309 West 138th street. In telling of his experiences, Mr. DeVaughn alleged that there had been numerous reports concerning pilferings that were said to have occurred at various times, in the Y. M. C. A. building, but in no case was the miscreant apprehended. The story embraces a recital of the disappearance of coats, watches and other easily removed articles, while their owners were engaged in cafe, billiard room, bowl in lily pads, in the lobby. When entering his room on Friday, January 12, DeVaughn had to unlock his door as usual, but his chiffonier drawers were open and emptied, his closet door was open and the clothes hangers scattered around on bed and floor.
After the robbery of last August, De-Vaughn declares he was informed by the secretary that one of the lodgers on that dormitory floor, who had occupied a room at the time of the robbery, but who afterwards had left, had come just prior to his stay at the M. C. A. from the Auburn State Prison, after serving a term which covered several years. The story of the affair with Mr. Vaughn, the M. C. Vaughn's name as reference, but of this DeVaughn was not aware until it was casually mentioned to him by Secretary Taylor at a later date.
Had Show Room of Building.
Mr. DeVaughn is a graduate of the Howard Law School, Washington, and was admitted to the Minneapolis, Minn., bar in November, 1920. He came first to New York in 1916, and went to Minneapolis in August, 1919, returning to New York in November, 1920. He is planning, he says, to return to Minneapolis this coming spring and take him to Minneapolis. During his two years' occupancy of a room in the 135th St. Y. M. C. A dormitory, Mr. DeVaughn alleges that he spent more than $200 in fixing up his living quarters. He declares his room was considered the show place of the building and that it was the invariable custom of members of the staff, in escorting visitors through the building on inspection tours, to take them to this room. Secretary Taylor himself, it is alleged, frequently carried visitors, including white officials from the M. C. up to sixth floor for the special purpose of showing them DeVaughn's room. In telling of his alleged experiences, Mr. DeVaughn was keenly critical of

what he said was the careless and neglectful attitude of the Y. officials, who made no effort, it seems, to protect the interests of the occupants of rooms, and either refused or failed to notify the police or ask for assistance in the way of officers to investigate the mysterious and unexplained entrance into lodgers' rooms during their absence. Then the alleges abused by Tay were all in any instance solved or caused to be solved any, o the many reported instances in which guests of the Y. M. C. A. were alleged to have been despoiled of their belongings, either on the social floor, in the lobby, of in the dormitory rooms.
WHITE DEMOCRATIC LEADER IS ARRESTED WITH 3 COMPARIONS
to annex his scalp. But all previous efforts were futile. Just how the present development was brought about, however, is not known, course his experiments, are not explaining.
Police - Had Infomation
The police authorities state that they had received reports concerning the Watts apartment on Fayetteville street, and that these reports caused them to make the raid visit. Various theories are advanced, the most general opinion of Watts's friends being that it was a political assassination. But even his enemies give Col. Watts credit for the courage with which he has confronted his fate. It is pointed out that the thousand and one men of his race who have been and are now practicing medicine conceive bination with their detractors are notably lacking in nerve when their illicit relations are uncovered. But Watts is facing his enemies with the spirit of a lion at bay.
Immediately following his arrest, and against the advice of his friends, Col. Watts telegraphed his resignation to Governor Cameron Morrison, who accepted it and named his successor. No statement was given out by the governor. Col. Watts' resignation was laconic: "I herewish hand you my resignation, to take effect immediately." He was appointed by Gov. Morrison two ago, when the administration changed. Col. Watts' home is at Stateville, and the colored woman who was found under his bed, Grace Grantham, came from the same town.
In the heated campaign to disfranchise the Negro vote in North Carolina, Col. Watts covered the State, denouncing the Negro and painting sordid pictures of "social equality" and "Negro domination."
The affair has stirred both races in the state to resentment and moved the thinking to rethought—Many of the leading Democratic papers, have severely chendmed Col. Watts, while others have sought to minimize his offense as being merely a "personal affair."
Goes to Sanitarium.
Stateville. N. C. Jan 30.-Colonel A. D. Watts, who resigned as commissioner of revenue late yesterday after a warrant had been issued by Raleigh police charging him with a statutory offense, arrived in Stateville this afternoon and is now a patient at a local sanitarium. His physician stated that Col. Watts is suffering from nervous shock and a physical alliment of long standing.

DISCOVERING THE CONSTITU TION.
One daily newspaper in New York City has made the astounding discovery that the Eighteenth Amendment is not more sacred than the Fourteenth and Fifteenth. This remarkable statement was made by the Daily News, which said, "If the part of the Constitution which confers rights of citizenship can be ignored or annulled, the part which takes away personal rights may be."
The significance of the reasoning adopted by the Daily Neter, which has in a few years acquired a large circulation of a popular character, is that it is opposed to the enforcement of the Prohibition amendment. It may be that in this opposition the Neter truly represents the sentiment of the majority of the people of New York. The question of Prohibition has never been submitted to popular vote in this State, so one man's guess is as good as another's. But the intention of the writer of this editorial was evidently to create and concentrate opposition to the enforcement of the Lightseventh Amendment, rather than to build up sentiment for the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth. Nevertheless, it is well to consider his argument for the enforcement of the Constitution as a whole, as contained in the following paragraph:
The Court, we maintain, for every dollar appropriated for the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, a dollar should be appropriated for the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. And Congress should come cleav on the enforcement of the Constitution. It should be billed to the Constitution. It should reduce the representation of States which deny political rights. We can make both fish and food to the Constitution.
It is worth that we find a paper catering to the masses. Like the Nine, and a salubrious public like President Nixon as Murray Butler of Columbia University, appealing for the enforcement of the Constitution for similar reasons. It shows that Prohibition, as well as politics, makes strange hallows. This similar solicitude for the sanity of the Constitution from such popular sources is high refreshing and encouraging. It may arouse the American People in the fullness of time, to the fact that the Constitution means something.
A political party might ride into power on the wave of a popular cry to enforce the Constitution in its entirety, no matter whom it might hurt. We might once have looked for the Republican party to essay that role, but it would require backbone, a quality in which the once Grand Old Party has shown itself singularly deficient of late. The movement to revive the Constitution as a living force in American politics should be persisted in, even if it enlists all the efforts of the opponents of Prohibition. Let the editors and educators continue to discover the Constitution.
A TYPE OF LEADERSHIP.
The passing of William Dalton, one of the oldest and strongest leaders in Tammany Hall, which was recorded in our issue of last week, accentuates the quality of a leadership in politics, which is fast passing away. Mr. Dalton had been a reader and subscriber of Thr. Acr for seventeen years and his relations with its editor outside of politics exhibited the utmost willingness to aid and serve his worthy cause or individual recommended to his notice.
This attitude of cheerful and willing service to humanity, without discrimination as to creed, color or politics, was characteristic of Mr. Dalton's leadership. Besides being a member of the executive committee of Tammany Hall he was sachem of the Tammany Columbian Order and had filled many local offices under the State and city administration, being deputy commissioner of Corrections at the time of his death.
In his passing the Negro race has lost a statistic friend whose active assistance was not circumcribed by his political interests. It may be that this disposition to be of service to others contributed to the success that attended Mr. Dalton's career in politics. At all events he illustrated the fact that successful leadership in politics is not incompatible with
a large degree of consideration and helpfulness for the needs of others. The duties and obligations incidental to district leadership were never taken more seriously nor discharged more faithfully than by Mr. Dalton.

Justice as administered in many Southern States blinks through her bandages and makes her awards according to the color of those appearing in her courts. This is the reason why the failure to secure justice in the courts is given as one of the causes for the migration of Negroes from the South. The truth of this statement has frequently been confirmed by Southern white men, who do not approve of this discrimination in the courts.
The Danville Register recently noted a case of this character as follows:
In the Henry county circuit court a Negro was convicted and given two years imprisonment for presenting to the court clerk a forged certificate purporting to record the content of parents to marriage of a girl. A week ago a white man in the Corporation court of Danville pleaded guilty to making a false affidavit as to the age of a young girl thereby enabling a license to be secured for her marriage. He was fined $100. And this is justice! Will it make for better racial relations to make the distinction that one man was white and the other a Negro?
The Danville paper notes that in the Henry County case the indictment was for forgery, but that there was no evidence as to who actually forged the paper. It also raised the issue as to whether the paper in question was actually a forgery within the meaning of the law. A Norfolk case was quoted in which the facts were parallel and the indictment was quashed by the court, on the ground that as no financial consideration was involved, no forgery had been committed within the meaning of the law.
The Danville editor insists that "public sentiment must be aroused to sudi indefensible discriminations as these, unless we are willing to see justice brought into contempt." He asks how long will the just and thoughtful white citizenship of a community submit to such discrimination and calls for the courts to get together in their construction and application of statues.
When an appreciable element of the white citizenship realizes the rotten conditions set forth by this Virginia editor, it may wake to the fact that this blinking of Justice is destroying all respect for law and order in the South. Discrimination in the courts and the failure of law officers to protect all citizens in their lives and property are driving away the chief labor asset of the South. The unequal punishment awarded for minor infractions of the law has given the darker race an undeserved record for criminality, which arises fear and resentment. This blinking of Justice should be stopped by an equal and impartial enforcement of all laws, regardless of race or color. It will require all the efforts of such mediums of enlightenment as this Danville paper to bring about such change.
The report of the Association for the Study of Negro History, as published in the Baltimore Herald and Commonwealth, shows that the work has been entirely successful with respect to what is called the most difficult task of the director, that of raising money. The report proceeds;
The association is also direct attention to the work of training men for research in this field. The program agreed upon is to educate in the best graduate schools with libraries containing works bearing on Negro life and history at least three young men a year, supported by fellowships of $500 from the association and such additional stipend as the schools themselves may grant for the support of the undertaking. One of these students will take up the study of Negro History, one will direct his attention to Anthropometric and Psychology measurements of Negroes, and one to African Anthropology and Archaeology. In the undertaking the director has not only the co-operation of Professor Russell Fish of the University of Wisconsin and Prof. William E. Dodd, of the University of Chicago, who with him constitute the Committee on Fellowships, but also the assistance of Professors Frank Boa and E. L. Thornquake of Columbia University and of dike of Columbia University and of Professor E. A. Hooton of Harvard University.
Other plans projected by the organization cover the preservation of Negro folk lore and the fragments of Negro music. The growing interest in this subject is denoted by the fact that the Journal of Negro History is used in many of the advanced institutions of learning, both North and South, in teaching social sciences.
"The beasts that walk like men" is the manner in which the Baltimore Catholic Review characterizes the perpetrators of the race riots in Florida and the masked murderers in Louisiana. It bitterly excoriated the Ku Klux Klan, saying:
No Catholic man can do the things you do, because such things are ally and cowardly and beastly and inhuman. Answer, John Sharp Williams, and the rest of you answer!

THE NEW YORK AGE: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1933.
A REMARKABLE LITTLE BOOK.
the time we have been planning to take the talk about books. We now take up the book we left off. Instead, we will take up a book which has just been published, "The Black Man's Place in South Africa Nielsen. Mr. Nielsen is a white man in Africa and occupied official positions there.
Mr. Nielsen states that he had thoughts of the natives of Africa on the interpreters, but at first hand, through the speech which I profess to know as well and is not a book of descriptions either of customs of the natives. It is rather a discussion of the qualities and capabilities of the Negroes of South Africa, of their present and future civil and military.
When opens his little book—the volume contains fifty pages—by answering the question he equal to the European in mental and moral which he declares to be the crux of the goes about answering this question in manner. First he takes up some of the comparisons such as prognatism, orthognatism, black of hairiness, odors, thickness and color. Mr. Nielsen says conclusively that these are obvious, do not indicate any inferior groo; in fact, many, of them would indicate that people, much ado has been made about the capacity but not much has been said about the special capacity of the Esquimaux is greater than the civilized peoples of Europe. We do not hear the Esquimaux have done nothing to kind of mental achievement.
When next takes up a comparison of the use with that of the white man. After documents pro and con, he arrives at the fact that the differences are not so important as makes the rather enlightening statement that same way but not always about the same. Mr. Nielsen says, "The difference between the red and the ploughboy is one not of kind, not of content. The things that occupy the mind do not the same that fill the mind of the respective environments of the to type professor might have thought about many metaphysics."
Mr. paragraph Mr. Nielsen makes the same striking manner. He says, "In his thin knows the black man comes to the same man when he thinks about the same thing why that the reason why the native of Sea about electricity and differential calculus know about those things, but if he did he called upon to think about them, he why that the white man does.
When in his little book points out that the North Africa is called upon, in meeting and one of his environment, to display as much utility as the average workman in an indies.
For completely disposes of the "Nordic" the trade popular in this country by Madison Gard. The Nordic theory, in a word, is being an inherently superior race of blondes in the north from time to time to harass inferior peoples in the south. They are peoples of the South and thereby succeed civilizations which flourished around theanean Sea in past ages. This Nordic theory those mighty civilizations waned and declined of blonde invaders became absorbed streams.
In very aptly says that apart from any story to back this theory, it is unsatisfactory explain why these super-blonde men failed to own original habitats any of the great cults used to have imposed upon inferior people his writer asked the question in a book ten years ago, if civilization originated white men, why was not its first seat in the than up the valley of the Nile?
Mr. Nielsen has written a book in which argument of the physical, mental, South African natives compared with the little book with a pessimistic note, how the two races can live together in South be amalgamation. This he believes added. His plan is for physical segregation Africa to be given over to the natives of whites. He sees no other way out. Of course, the time may not be very far off natives themselves will dictate the metaphysical problem.
For some time we have been planning to take up where we left off our talk about books. We now take up the subject again but not where we left off. Instead, we will take a little jump and consider a book which has just been published in London. It is entitled, "The Black Man's Place in South Africa." Its author is Peter Nielsen. Mr. Nielsen is a white man who has lived in South Africa and occupied official positions there for thirty years.
In his brief preface Mr. Nielsen states that he has "studied the ways and thoughts of the natives of Africa on the spot, not through interpreters, but at first hand, through the medium of their own speech which I profess to know as well as the natives themselves."
The book is not a book of descriptions either of the country or of the customs of the natives. It is rather a discussion first of the innate qualities and capabilities of the Negroes of South Africa, and secondly, of their present and future civil and social status in that country.
Mr. Nielsen opens his little book—the volume comprises only one hundred and fifty pages—by answering the question, "Is the African native equal to the European in mental and moral capacity, or is he not?" which he declares to be the crux of the whole situation. He goes about answering this question in a logical and scientific manner. First he takes up some of the well known physical comparisons such as prognatism, orthognatism, hariness of body and lack of hairiness, odors, thickness and capacities of skulls, etc. Mr. Nielsen says conclusively that these differences, many of which are obvious, do not indicate any inferiority on the part of the Negro; in fact, many of them would indicate the opposite.
For example, much ado has been made about the statistics on cranial capacity but not much has been said about the fact that the cranial capacity of the Esquimaux is greater than that of most of the civilized peoples of Europe. We do not need to be told that so far the Esquimaux have done nothing to startle the world in any kind of mental achievement.
Mr. Nielsen next takes up a comparison of the mind of the African native with that of the white man. After considering all of the arguments pro and con, he arrives at the very proper conclusion that the differences are not so important as they might appear. He makes the rather enlightening statement that all men think in the same way but not always about the same things.
The author says, "The difference between the mind of the philosopher and the ploughboy is one not of kind, not even of degree, but of content. The things that occupy the mind of the peasant farmer are not the same that fill the mind of the university don, but if the respective environments of the to types had been reversed the professor might have thought about manure and the farmer about metaphysics."
In another paragraph Mr. Nielsen makes the same statement in a still more striking manner. He says, "In his thinking about the things he knows the black man comes to the same conclusion as the white man when he thinks about the same things." And he goes on to say that the reason why the native of South Africa does not think about electricity and differential calculus is because he does not know about those things, but if he did know about them and was called upon to think about them, he would do so in the same way that the white man does.
Mr. Nielsen in his little book points out that the average native in South Africa is called upon, in meeting and overcoming the conditions of his environment, to display as much mental ingenuity and ability as the average workman in an industrial city in Europe.
The author completely disposes of the "Nordic" theory lately revived and made popular in this country by Madison Grant and Lothrop Stoddard. The Nordic theory, in a word, is that early in the beginning an inherently superior race of blonde Europeans left their lairs in the north from time to time to harass and conquer essentially inferior peoples in the south. They mixed with these inferior peoples of the South and thereby succeeded in rearing those mighty civilizations which flourished around the borders of the Mediterranean Sea in past ages. This Nordic theory further claims that those mighty civilizations waned and declined when the "blue" blood of blonde invaders became absorbed and lost in the inferior streams.
Mr. Nielsen very aptly says that apart from any satisfactory evidence in history to back this theory, it is unsatisfactory in that it does not explain why these super-blonde men failed to establish within their own original habitats any of the great cultures which they are supposed to have imposed upon inferior peoples far to the South. This writer asked the question in a book which he published some ten years ago, if civilization originated with what we now call white men, why was not its first seat in the German forests rather than up the valley of the Nile?
Altogether, Mr. Nielsen has written a book in which he produces convincing argument of the physical, mental and moral equality of the South African natives compared with the whites. He ends his little book with a pessimistic note, however. He does not see how the two races can live together in South Africa unless the result be amalgamation. This he believes at all costs should be averted. His plan is for physical segregation, that is, parts of South Africa to be given over to the natives and other parts to the whites. He sees no other way out. Of course, there is another way out. The time may not be very far off when the South African natives themselves will dictate the method of the solution of the problem.
A FORGOTTEN FRIEND.

The newspapers last week announced the death of Mrs. Eva A. Ingersol, who died in her home at 53 Gramercy Park at the age of eighty-three. This brings to mind a name which only a generation ago was one of the best known names in the United States, Robert G. Ingersol.
The majority of people who remember Ingersol at all remember him as an infidel. A smaller number of people would remember him as one of the most popular orators that ever spoke from an American platform. But there was another side to Ingersol with which not many of his countrymen, perhaps, are familiar. He was a great lover of freedom. More particularly still the colored people of the United States ought to know and remember that Robert G. Ingersol was one of the greatest defenders the Negro in the United States ever had, one who was never afraid to come to his defense.
An incident is related which occurred before the Civil War. It was when Frederick Douglass was making anti-slavery speeches in the Middle-west that he spoke one night in a town where after the meeting he found that there was no place where he would be
allowed to sleep. Robert Ingersol took Frederick Douglass to his home and gave him a bed.
So far as this writer can remember Ingersol was the first American whose voice commanded the war of the nation to denounce lynching. It was after the burning of Sam Hose that Ingersol indicted American civilization with a vehemence that could not be surpassed. There are also records of many incidents of kindness and assistance from him to ambitious young colored men.
Robert G. Ingersol, like Thomas Paine, will on account of his religious beliefs, or rather unbeliefs, perhaps never be accorded his proper place as a great American. Nevertheless he was such. It would be well for the colored people of the United States at least to remember Ingersol as something more than an infidel.
LET THEM COME.
Reports from the South indicate that the migration of colored people to the North is on a steady increase. Mr. Phil H. Brown of the Department of Labor and Mr. Shelby J. Davidson of Washington are both quoted in a despatch from Washington as saying that the activities of the Ku Klux Klan are adding strength and speed to this movement. If this is the cause of the movement it is a bad one and ought to be stopped, but nevertheless the movement, itself, is bound to be beneficial.
We repeat, Let Them Come. The only time in his history in this country that the Negro-has been able to exercise a power which forced the South to retreat from its traditional position was when during the great war the Negro left that section in large numbers. When the tide of migration during the war was at its height the South was ready to make any concessions regarding the treatment of colored people. If the movement could have kept up at the same rate for two or three years longer many things would have been voluntarily yielded which must now be fought for. However, if the conditions which now favor the new migratory movement of Negroes from the South to the North keeps up, the same opportunities for better racial adjustment will come again.
The Immigration bill approved this week by the House Immigration Committee increases the chances of still more favorable conditions for migration. As to admissions of immigrants, the new bill provides a limitation to two per cent. of the number of foreign born individuals of any nationality resident in the United States. The present restriction is three per cent. Under the new law it is estimated that the total number of immigrants entering the United States in any one year will not exceed 168,837. Admissions under the existing law total 358,023 yearly. If this new bill goes into effect it will mean that the efforts of the great capitalistic industries to flood the country with cheap labor will not be effective and thereby these lucrative fields of labor will be open for Negroes.
We repeat what we said last week: That colored citizens in all northern and western communities to which Negro migrants are likely to come should make organized preparation now to receive them; to aid them; to give them directions and do everything possible to help them become adjusted to their new surroundings. This should be done not only for the benefit of the new-comers, but also for the protection and in the best interests of those who are already here.
CHANGES AT WILBERFORCE
Another storm of indignation seems to be impending over the summary dismissal of Miss Hallie Q. Brown as one of the chief instructors in Wilberforce University. Public attention was previously directed to Wilberforce by the forcing out of Dr. W. S. Scarborough about two or three years ago, under circumstances which were never thoroughly explained to the satisfaction of these interested. This latter dismissal of Miss Brown provoked the following comment by an influential member of the University group, as quoted by a correspondent of the Dallas Express: "Staid and orderly Old Wilberforce will soon be the center of a storm that will sweep into every corner of this country where African Methodism has got a foothold."
Walterforce University is the chief educational institution conducted under the auspices of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. It is therefore denominational in character, but has of late years added to its curriculum industrial features, which are supported by the State of Ohio. Its internal affairs are controlled by a board of trustees named by the denomination, of which Bishop Joshua H. Jones is the president. The responsibility for the radical changes brought about in the faculty is charged to the good bishop, and his motives in making them have been assailed by those affected. It is charged that he has set up a machine for the purpose of controlling the patronage connected with the institution and is desirous obridding himself of all those whom he considers as obstructions to his plans.
When educators of the standing of Dr. Scarborough and Miss Brown are thus separated from a work in which they have given many years of effort and accomplishment, it would seem as if satisfactory reasons should be assigned for their removal. If it decided that their usefulness has become impaired for any cause, that cause should be stated and proper credit given them for their past work in the cause of education. A frank and open statement of the reasons for these changes would inspire greater confidence in the present management of the University. We credit Bishop Jones with being a believer in the doctrine of a fair deal and he probably would insist on one for himself. He should therefore see that a fair deal is given every person affected by these changes in the staff of Wilberforce.
LABOR SHIFT MINIMIZED
According to a bulletin issued by the Department of Labor, the last of January, the movement of unskilled labor from the South to Northern industrial centers is considered rather remarkable for winter months, as shown by an investigation made by Phil H. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation in that department. This is pronounced the first gesture toward a Northern shift of this class of labor since the war, and our official tendency, seems to be to minimize
indicate that the migration of color is already increase. Mr. Phil H. Brown and Mr. Shelby J. Davidson of Washington as saying Klux Klan are adding strength and this is the cause of the movement stopped, but nevertheless the move beneficial.
Some. The only time in his history has been able to exercise a power from its traditional position was the Negro left that section in large migration during the war was at it to make any concessions regarding it. If the movement could have kept for three years longer many things yielded which now be fought as which now favor the new migrant join the South to the North keep better racial adjustment will come.oved this week by the House Immigration chances of still more favorable to admissions of immigrants, that to two per cent. of the number of nationality resident in the United States three per cent. Under the new total number of immigrants entering year will not exceed 168,837. Adherent total 358,023 yearly. If this new in that the efforts of the great capital country with cheap labor will now lucrative fields of labor will be at week: That colored citizens in all cities to which Negro migrants are organized preparation now to receive directions and do everything post-justified to their new surroundings, in the benefit of the new-comers, but the best interests of those who are
its importance by defining it as "in no manner widespread or considered general."
This official view of the present migration is supported by the statement that the payrolls of a number of districts in northern and central western industrial points are being slightly swelled by the employment of these workers who come directly from Southern States. Georgia is said to yield the greatest number of these migrants. The specific points mentioned as receiving an appreciable influx of Negro labor are: Philadelphia, Portsmouth, Akron and Johnstown, Ohio; Milwaukee, Wise; Argo, Ill; Indiana Harbor, Ind.; Trenton and Newark, N. J. A slight increase was noted in Chicago. New York, southern Ohio and Illinois points showed no increase, while several districts showed a slight decline in the use of this class of labor.
The general indication however was continued migration from the South, with an increasing absorption of Negro labor by Northern industry. The iron and steel industry continues to lead in its demands for Negro labor, with meat packing, glass, transportation, food production etc., closely following. It is predicted that the probable result will be a wider entrance than ever before for this kind of labor, so far as specific occupations and types of employment are concerned.
Despite the conservative tendency of this official statement, its whole tenor is to confirm the news gathered from unofficial sources as to the renewal of the migration movement. Significance is placed on the phase of the movement that caused it to drift northward in winter, contrary to previous experience. The official forecast, is that the Spring will bring larger numbers, providing the industrial demands prevail.
The Mercy Fill Box is the appropriate title of a little pamphlet published quarterly by the Class of 1923 of Mercy Hospital and School for Nurses, Philadelphia. From it we learn that Dr. H. Minton is superintendent and Miss L. G. Warlick, R. N., superintendent of nurses. Among the improvements noted on the grounds, are new lamp posts being placed at the gates, the same being donated to the hospital by Miss J. Imogen Howard in memory of her brother, the late Dr. E. C. Howard, who was one of the first physicians of the hospital, and her sister, Miss Addie Howard. Miss J. Imogen Howard, president of the Women's Board of Managers, is well known to New Yorkers, through her work as cacher in the public schools.
In an announcement of the fourth annual Lincoln-Douglass banquet, published in the Colorado Stateman, to be held at Denver, a line appeared with this injunction: "Dress to suit your convenience." Thus is the protection of Western tolerance extended to dress suits, taxedos, or such suits without bias.

Governor Walton of Oklahoma will have failed to meet the expectation of some of his supporters, judging from following extract from the City Black Dispatch:
Dr. Young and the Negro District of the State are going to loseful following that they had in few months if many more appointe follow like the selection made Taft School. At this writing possible to know what prompt Governor to make the Taft but we are hoping that our gov't the people are trying to self with the legislature is the analysis of the affair. We rather look at the matter in than to think he was following Democratic policy of giving the worst rather than the best selection is on its face entitle keeping with the record of error, who as mayor, was giving the Negro a square

Louisiana is not a punishment adjusted to one crime, rape, but is like the duty of the bottle—controlled only confined.
All of these cases demonstrate the doctrine of state rights is a better reed when it comes to protecting life and property of citizens. The recourse left is to invoke the authority to suppress and punish violence and lynching.
According to the Columbia Society Indicator, the Negro exodus is still motion and in certain sections it has reached serious proportions. It said.
Large plantations even in South Carolina are left to grow weeds. It now time for the Columbia State immigrate its more acceptable qualities of the soil and hewers of wood, what the Negro has proven himself to be while he, the Negro, is in the mid-spinning the wheels of manufactured plants.
But coming down to brass tackes, the great northward movement is ready growing more serious each and every and should receive favorable tuition from every conceivable sort possible to induce our group to south. The key to the whole situation is justice in the courts, and certain chances. Without this the South South is doomed.
This is convincing testimony for an authentic source that is apparent biased in favor of the movement.
The Dallas Express recently
Wouldn't it be fine for all ladies' clubs to stage a pay-off tax movement. They would create the Negro voting strength, prove their knowledge of public affairs and stimulate the political life of city generally.
This belief in the efficacy of the lot continues to survive, in spite of discouragement. It is a hopeful one.
ANNULMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION.
(From Daily News, N. Y.)
The Eighteenth Amendment more sacred than the Fourteenth Fifteenth. If the part of the Constitution which confers rights of citizens can be ignored or annulled, which takes away personal rights be.
The decision that there should slaves in this country came and the decision that the form should be enfranchised came and fathers fought over that is determination of the North peace. What defense is there for a who condones the multilication of actions really written in blood.
If States can do as they please reference to political rights of American citizens they likewise can do please with reference to the habits of American citizens. New York, New Jersey, etc. want to take away the votes citizens, and they do not. South lina, Georgia, etc. do want to vote away, and the Constitution not stand in their way. Illinois York, New Jersey, etc., do want holle beverages. The sauce for this will do for the gander. EBK bring all States into obedience to the United States institution or expect that where a violently opposed to the United Amendment it will annul it readily as Georgia annuls the United Amendment.
Therefore, we maintain, for dollar appropriated for the ent of the Eighteenth Amendment, should be appropriated for the ent of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. And Congress come clean on the enforcement of Constitution. It should do as it don by the Constitution. It shouldduce the representation of States deny political rights. We can boat fish and fowl of the Constitution. If people are to write their acts the wets will ask (for the pres of the drys, and a wet State has right to annul as the form of States have. If the Constitution be enforced in its entirely the wets will be found right in line, but correction where the discrepant

producción máxima de azúrar fue 1,000,000 de toneladas brutas. Antes de la guerra mundial era de unas 2,500,000 toneladas la producción promedial y en la zafra de 1921-22 enrizo un record obteniendo la fabulosa producción de 4,000,000 de toneladas. Siendo la producción mundial de 18,000,000 de toneladas, Cuba puede como se ve, suplir casi una cuarta parte de la misma.
La producción de azúrar refmada en Cuba es minima. La mayoría se exporta en bruto para su refinación en los países compradores. Los residuos de la melaza del azúrar emplease en la fabricación de alcohol industrial que se esta aprovechando como combustible para motores en ver el gasolina.
Por lo que respecta a la industria del tabaco que ha dado a Cuba mayor fama aún quir se azúcar, conviene decir que las plantacios de tabaco ocupan una superficie equivalente a la décima parte del área total ocupada por los plantas de cacao de azúcar. La calidad exclusiva del mejor tabaco que se produce en la cacao debeso a una área especial aceritas que se encuesta en un pequeño distrito sito en el norte del país. El café y el cacao crecen en las regiones montañosas, pero la producieron no es suficiente ni siguiera para llenar las necesidades locales. También se cultivan con exito los plantas, las pinas y las manzanas. La cria del ganado pudiera perfectamente fomentarse a causa de las ierres ricas en pastos que abundan en Cuba.
Las industrias son pequeñas en proporcion a la riqueza de la nación. En 1920 trescientas catorce compañías con un capital autorizado de $230.000,000 fueron inscriptas en el registro mercantil. Los plantadores de tabaco suelen, actualmente, exportar tobaco en rama a sus fabricas de Key West, Florida, a fin de evitar los subidos derechos que paga en los Estados Unidos el tabaco manufacturado.
Los recursos minerales de Cuba son una importante fuente de riqueza, principalmente, sus yacimientos de hierro y cobre. En 1920 se exportaron 674,000 toncladas de hierro y 61,000 de cobre. El mineral de hierro no es muy abundante, pero en cambio su calidad es de primera. Existen también mantos petroliferos, asfalto, carbon y canteras de pirdra y marmol.
Como Cuba exporta la mayor parte de sus productos e importa maquinaria, artículos manufacturados y los residos y alimentos necesarios para se población de 3,000,000, su comercio extrantero es muy considerable.
En 1920 las exportaciones arrojeron un total de $800,000,000. Normalmente las exportaciones son superiores a las importaciones.
No pudiendose realizar toda la cosecha de azúcar de 1921, las exportaciones acusaron una baja considerable en este año; pero las importaciones disminuyeron en proportion.
El azúcar, en épocas normales, constituye un noventa por ciento de las exportaciones y el tabaco en rama y manufacturado de ocho a dos por ciento.
El resto del contenido de la exportación forman reuesas de frutas, mordras, fibras, pieles, productos marinas, miel de abeja, y minerales.

Y en todo cuanto miro presago de ventura
Mi vida solo encuentra su fuente de amargura.
Es una maldición injusta que gravita
En mi Destino adverso, y que a mi ser irrita
Pues sabe la impotencia de toda rebelion
Cuando una fuerza férrea domina al corazón.
Y es una fuerza innoble, omniflora y brutal.

DEAR GIRLS:
Happy New Year to you all! I guess
Editor of THE NEW YORK ACL:
The recent sermon by Dr. Percy S. Grant, of the Church of the Ascension, denying that Jesus possessed the power of God, has brought on a deal of comment. It is unfortunate that the distinguished priest, after giving so many years of valuable service to the cause of the Lord, should at this late day be found taking an erroneous stand against the Church and Jesus, who came for the propitation of our sins. Yet we must not be alarmed.
Did not Jesus say that the time would come when they would teach false doctrines? But despite this burning truth, He also said that "the gates of hell should not prevail against His Church!" No. the Church is not necessarily a building, but rather a firm belief deep down in our soul that Jesus will Bible class him. He is "the life of the resurrection;" The "gateway and the door to the kingdom of heaven and he that cometh up any other way save through Him is a thief and a robber."
Now, as our sum begins to sink behind you western hill, may we, like Paul, be able to say, "I have taught a good fight. I have kept the faith."
New York City. HENRY ALLEN
Problems of the Race From a White Man's View
Editor of THE New York Auror:
As a white man who has the moral and material welfare of the Negro at heart, it may be that a criticism of the problems confronting the race today, will be received in the kindly spirit in which it is meant.
My knowledge of the colored man's problems has not been acquired superficially. I have lived with the race in Africa, the West Indies, the Southern States, and nearly every Country where they are located. Years of study devoted to an effort to assist in the emancipation of the Negro has also aided me at arriving at a fairly definite estimate of racial difficulties.
The concentrated scholar, possessed of an inquiring and analytical mind, will not find any place in the whole world more suitable for a comprehensive study of race problems than right here in Harlem. Let me say at the outset that I have absolutely no sympathy with any class of white men who regard the Negro as a thing apart. Experience has taught me that the only standards where you can measure a man is not of his color or his creed, but of his principles and his intellect. If a man is a true man I will proudly call him friend even if his skin is black as tar. If a man is not true, the fact that his skin is as white as alabaster will not impress me.
God's Sun shines on God's childlike without regard to race or creed. This sun is the most potent evidence of the warmth and justice of God's love. Never ending. Never failing. And that being so it would seem to me that the colored man is slightly more gunned that his white brother. Holding this view it cannot be alleged against me that I possess any color prejudice. Indeed my tenency, if any, err in favor of the Negro of because I cannot parade sloppy sentimentality, but because he deserves the benefit of any doubt, not having long enjoyed the advantage of political freedom.
In Harlem there is a very large colored community. They represent the descendants of numerous African Negro nationalities, more or less blended. They represent, too, a considerable part of the white race, which fact alone ought to stem the torrent of adverse white criticism. Indeed the blood fusion between the white and colored is so complete, in many instances, as to make it a different matter to tell where the black ends and the white begins. Harlem cannot, by any stretch of imagination, be regarded as the most lawabiding section of this great country. The unthinking may retort that there are white sections of the country that as are bad if not worse than Harlem. True enough, but that assertion does not whitewash Harlem. It only proves my original contention that a white skin does not make a white character. These premises ought to be concluding to the colored man.
If the extraordinary number of churches are any criterion, the morals of the colored community of Harlem should be the highest in the world. That is, if we assume that churches still have a moral function. Nowhere in the wrold are so many churches to be found as in Harlem. Denominations weird and wonderful practise their lamentable rites in every block. So-called spiritualistic fakers, fortune-tellers, charlans and, devil-destroyers, hold "church" in hundreds of "farmed room." Themsees the colored room every artifice to rob their colored brethren. They debauch the teaching of Jesus with their mumeries, and bemirch the beautiful science of metaphysics with ignorance. They profess the Christian faith while practicing the arts of hell.
These "parasites" are so numerous that one marvels how the colored people of Harlem have survived this assault on their moral and economic existence. These "churches" have erected the god of Mammon. They are a burden on the moral and economic life's blood of the thrifty and industrious. These non-productive peddlers of insurrection are an intolerable impediment to the progress of the race. If the colored people believe that these future

I am rather late in my greeting, but "better late than never." I have been reading the column every week but one week it was missing. I don't support I should make any comment though because I've been a clacker myself "Kindness," what on earth has happened to you? It seems an age since I heard from you. "Pit-a-Pah," your article was wonderful, Yours too, "Atalanta," Girls, yesterday on my way to school, I had the "sweetest" fall of the season. It came without a moments warning and if you could have seen me going one way and my bag another, you would have all had the hal ha'ah! "Wilhelmina," look for a letter from me soon.

can help them they are self-deceived. The white man with his centuries of civilization owes no part of his advancement to the moralist and theologians. White supremacy has been achieved, not because of the "faithfakers" but in spite of them. Education, scientific and historical, moral and metaphysical, has accomplished more for the moral progress of the white man than all theological "isms" since the dawn of creation. Let the colored man profit by the bitter experience of his white brother and learn thereby. This condition of things, with other evils of lesser degree, stem the progress of the colored race. "Churchianity" is not Christianity. It is not nearly so good. The white man has thrust too much "Churchianity" on the colored man and too little Christianity. While I am not unmindful of the failings of the white man in his relations with the colored people I am convinced that the greatest enemies of the race are the parasites of the race.
National or racial displacement begins with the individual. Individual adancement means self-government. It seems to me that the colored people pay too little attention to the earnest and conscientious leaders of the race and too much heed to the multitude of ignorant and selfish "devil-destroyers" in their midst. They regard a few cents spent on good books as a waste of money but do not hesitate to point dollars into the lap of some comical mind-reader rather than listen to the Gospel of Galvary in all its sweet symphonicity that harkens the pastors' whose principal vocabulary is "Money, Money, Money." Hasten the day when some brave true spirit like the Humble Galilean will again upset the money-changers in the Temple.
I often wonder if these fakers, who pride themselves on their Biblical knowledge, ever read the Third chapter of Jeremiah. The first and the eleventh verses I like particularly. It seems to me that a Dine Providence had the fakers in mind when he inspired these items. "Woe be unto the pastors that destroys and scatter the sheep of my pasture, saith the Lord;" and again, "For prophet and priest are profane, yea, in my house have I found their wickedness." The rest of this chapter is equally as illuminating. It has been alleged against the colored man be white, that he has contributed nothing to the knowledge, the arts, literature. Relatively speaking, that may be partly true. But an indemnity against his white teachers. Considering the short time the race enjoyed emancipation it would be unjust to expect them to comprehend the arts much less contribute to them. Nevertheless the cooled man has contributed greatly to the economic wealth of the country. He had to.
The white man gave the colored man legal equality. But moral equality can only be achieved by the colored people's
Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors
The mayoralty campaign looming in Detroit is stirring up considerable excitement, according to the Detroit. Independent. Calling it an insult to the ministry for a political candidate to ask the delivery of a congregation for election, the Independent said:
The position of the ministry, has changed according to the development and intelligence of the people from open and direct to indirect and influential leadership.
While all sane men believe that no nation or people is safe without the influence of the Christian Church it is also conceded that its chief functions is to radiate and illuminate the lives of men so that God may be seen in them.
It is, and ought to be, an insult to the intelligence of congregation, for
OWN efforts. The moral and material emancipation can only come from WITHIN. Even were, the white man willing to give moral equality to the colored man it is something beyond his power. Even were the white people anxious to withhold it from the colored man they could not do it now. Only by the progress of the individual can the race progress. It is every colored man's duty, not only to himself, but to his race to strive for self-development. In the language of the vernacular, "It's up to him." His educational advancement will bring about his participation in the destinies of his race. Every colored man of character and integrity who proves by his mental and moral equality that he is capable of the same achievement as the white man, strikes a mortal blow to the enemies of the race. Every colored man who fails to strive for self-development is the greatest enemy of his own race. Considering his splendid physical heritage, coupled with his inherent spiritual attributes, the Negro will eventually play an important part in the history of civilization. But the march of colored progress is being greatly retarded because of the enemies within the camp. Nor will the enemies be destroyed by legislation. Legislation has never succeeded in making a race good or sober. It never will. Education is the solution. Education that is free from denominational control. Education that imparts TRUTH.
The problem of the race will disappear like snow in June when the colored man, by self-development and education, achieves mental and moral independence from the white man. Those who profess to see the influence of the white man, in every moral lapse of the colored man, are bigots. Those who explain away every colored failure as the "result of white domination" only aggravate the difficulties and contribute nothing to the progress of the race.
It is the earnest wish of the writer that the colored people will face the problems of the race in the race spirit of fearlessness. Activated with a genuine desire for truth and for self-development, they will hasten the day when the takers will fall to rise no more. That will be the dawn of a new era for the colored man.

For Valley, Ga.-With the mines of the teachers busily engaged in preparing and correcting examination questions and with the mental powers of every pupil intently tased upon solving these questions the first semester of the Fort Valley High and Industrial School came to a close January 26.

a preacher to go down town and make any one believe that he can deliver said congregation to this or that candidate. There was a time in our history when this could be tolerated, but in this more intelligent period of our development there is no excuse for such methods. We are to be influenced politically as other groups; political meetings, the press, the distribution of literature and personal contact. Why should any preacher carry the vote of his congregation in his vest pocket? Why should a candidate belittle a people's intelligence to have such open disrespect for our ministry?
The candidate who depends on the ability of any minister to deliver the vote of his congregation nowadays is liable to be fooled. The voters, whether white or black, are more and more inclined to do their own thinking.

ALPHAS TO TRY FOR REVENGE ON ST. C.
On Lincoln's birthday, Monday night February 12, the Alpha Big Five, last year's champions, will make a determined attempt to average the recent defeat they received from St. Christopher Club. The team has been practicing almost daily for more than a week, and it is said that several changes will be made in the lineup for the Menday night game "Stretch" Grant, the Stuyvesant High School star, who has been playing with the New York Defender five, has rejoined the Alpha Club, it is said, and will be seen with this club on Monday night. But St. Christopher is making every preparation to again defeat Alpha, and the game promises to be the best amateur attraction of the season. Gus Creagh's Orchestra will furnish music for dancing before and after the game.

(By WILLIAM E. CLARK).
The time has come for the regardless of party affiliations, the Smith remove William Muldoon mission. Since Georges Carpenter weight championship of the world there has been but one opponent any real opposition in a battle for is Harry Wills.
For more than a year Demand of giving his Negro challenge a year ago public sentiment was dodging tactics that the State A challenge, with a forfeit of $2,500 agree to fight Wills before he else in this state. Several of the tude, and other matches which make for the champion have been the country.

The time has come for the colored voters of New York State, regardless of party affiliations, to unite in demanding that Governor Smith remove William Muldoon as head of the State Athletic Commission. Since Georges Carpentier was defeated for the heavyweight championship of the world in Jersey City on July 3, 1921, there has been but one opponent capable of giving Jack Dempsey any real opposition in a battle for the championship. This opponent is Harry Wills.
For more than a year Dempsey used every subterfuge to get out of giving his Negro challenger a chance for the title. About a year ago public sentiment was so strongly against Dempsey for his dodging tactics that the State Athletic Commission accepted Wills' challenge, with a forfeit of $2,500, and declared that Dempsey must agree to fight Wills before he would be allowed to fight anyone else in this state. Several of the other states took this same attitude, and other matches which Jack Kearns have been trying to make for the champion have been generally, condemned throughout the country.
Now Chairman Muldoon, who has never been too friendly towards colored boxers, reverses the position taken by himself and others on the commission last year, and says that no Dempsey-Willard fight or Dempsey-Wills fight will be permitted in this state. The reason he gives for this change in his attitude is "the commercialization of the sport." This reason probably holds good in the case of Willard, Mitt is absolutely false in the case of Willis, for neither the colored challenger nor his manager have demanded any large purse for a chance to meet Dempsey. As a matter of fact, Willis has said on several occasions that he would fight for nothing for the opportunity of winning the championship.
This barring of Wills is a violation of the state law, and if the colored voters allow one of their number to be discriminated against in this manner, it will lose another of its sacred rights in this state. Senator James W. Walker, author of the present boxing law, realizes that this is a case of rank discrimination against a group of citizens of the state and has threatened to have the law repealed if it is persisted in. Every colored voter in the state, regardless of whether he or she is personally interested in boxing, should protest against discrimination against Negro pugilists, and if need be seek to have the boxing law repealed.

All-American Theatre Association Owns Avenue Theatre, With Colored Company Presenting "Salome"—Both Races Represented in Unusual Audience.
Chicago, Ill.—Few things more significant have come to Chicago's art life in recent years than the opening of the Avenue Theatre, Indiana avenue and 31st street, under the direction of the All-American Theatre Association. It meant the blending of white and black in an audience of huge proportions. Literary Chicago turned out for the opening and touched elbows with the leaders of Chicago's Negro citizenry. An impressive number of the city's social, artistic and financial leaders were on hand to lend their influence. They shared boxes with men and women of a darker hue and sat with them in orchestra seats.
The movement for an art theatre wherein the actors should all be Negroes and where plays built upon racial characteristics should be presented has been brought to materialization. The hill included a oneact comedy and a tragedy. The comedy was "The Chip Woman's Fortune," a playlet, by Wally Richardson; the tragedy was Oscar Wilde's "Salome."
In addition to these dramatic works the Collieridge Taylor Orchestra of thirty pieces furnished excellent music, and an appeal-to-support was made by a member of the organization.
To consider the more important of the plays, "Salome" was given an interesting and artistic presentation. Meccaness of serenity is accounted of little importance these days. The lights were well managed and something in the lighting gave the dark shaded actors the semblance of whitesness. Salome rounded limbs, half revealed under the draperies of her seven volts, glistened white.

colored voters of New York State unite in demanding that Governor as head of the State Athletic Committee was defeated for the heavy world in Jersey City on July 3, 1921, and capable of giving Jack Dempsey for the championship.

The "Herod" of Sidney Kirkpatnick was another outstanding role. The interminably long speeches were a tax almost equal to some of Shakespeare's upon the memory, and the characterization of the wicked Tetrarch called for fine acting ability. A deep voiced speaker, Solomon Bruce, was "Jokanau," whose appearance was admirably managed. The other players acquired themselves creditably.

THE NEW YORK AGE: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1921
In a game, more thrilling than their first encounter, the Commonwealth Big Five won its second victory from the Italian Catholic Club, after five minutes extra play, at Commonwealth Casino on Sunday night, February 4. The score stood 25-25 when the regular time was up and after five minutes extra play it was 29-25 in favor of the colored team:
The Commonwealth team began the game in a listless fashion, probably because they had just played a hard game in New Jersey in the afternoon. Their opponents were fresh and soon had a lead of eight or ten-points. They continued to outplay the Commonwealth team throughout the first half, and the score stood 20-8 in favor of the Catholic Club when this period was up.
The second half was altogether different. Not only did the local team begin shooting, but the effective guarding of Hubbard and Morton prevented their opponents from shooting more than one field goal. George Fial, who was the Commonwealth's most effective scorer in the previous game, was so closely guarded that he was unable to shoot a field goal, but Jenkins and Slocum, with the foul shooting of Hubbard, soon cut lead down to two or three points. Just about a minute before the last half ended the from Cleveland. The players have had much experience in Negro drama for Negroes.
Many members of Chicago's social world were present to wish luck to the venture. Among them were Graham Aldis, Arthur Aldis, Mrs. James H. Field, Allan B. Pond, Mrs. Cloyd Head, Prof, and Mrs. Ferdinand Schevill, Edgar Lee Masters, Mrs. Paul-Willing, Mrs. John C. Willing, Mrs. Sherwood Anderson, Mrs. Harriet Taylor Treadwell, Mrs. Alice Vogt, Mrs. Leroy Goble, T. B.

N. Y. BOXING LAW MAY BE REVOKED
Senator Jimmy Walker, father of the boxing law in this State and one of the most ardent supporters of the fistic game in the country, indicated Friday night at Madison Square Garden that the action of Chairman William Muldoon in barring a Dempsey-Wills fight might prompt him to urge the repeal of the boxing law.
Senator Walker's statement follows: "I have just heard that Mr. Muldoon chairman of the Boxing Commission, has barred the Dempsey-Wills fight. In this State, apparently because of Willie color. Such a move will have no support from me and I would not have my American that discrimination was made on the round of race, color, color. If things come to that point I would move to have the present boxing law repealed."
"I do however, agree with Mr. Muldoon in regard to the commercialization of boxing, and I know that a great many tickets fall into the hands of speculators."
HOWARD TO HAVE
ATHLETIC FIELD
AND GYM BUILDING
(Telegram to The New York Age)
Washington, D. C.-According to announcement made by Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of the Howard University, when the President signed the Department of Interior appropriation bill for 1924, he made available for the uses of the Howard University within a limit cost of $197,500 a building for assembly hall, gymnasium, armory, and administrative headquarters, with drill and athletic field.
The gymnasium building will be a structure surmounting the elevation overlooking the famous McMillin Park and City Reservoir. Along with the recently erected dining hall building costing $201,000, Howard University is entering upon a period of physical expansion which is adding not only to the beauty of the grounds, but is offering to its students as well first class facilities in needed directions.
The Athletic field, with its concrete or steel stands, baseball diamonds, football fields, cinder racks, and the gymnasium building, including an armory for the R O. T. C. Unit, a swimming pool, an exercise room affords ample facilities for indoor development.

LARRY ESTRIDGE DEFEATS GIBBONS
Larry Estridge former amateur middleweight champion of the country, was easily the victor over Alex Kid Gibbons in the star bout of twelve rounds at 15th Armory on Tuesday night, February 6. It was their second encounter, and although Estridge did not succeed in scoring a knockout, he gave his opponent a severe beating. The most interesting part of the fight came in the third round when Gibbons came back after nearly being knocked out and put Estridge on the defensive for a few minutes. Estridge weighed 155 pounds and Gibbons 156/6.
Leroy Powell, former amateur flyweight champion, knocked out Tommy Miller in the first round of a scheduled six round semi-final bout. Powell knocked his opponent unconscious with a blow over the heart. Both weighed 113 pounds.
the time of "Big Bill" Edwards and last year was employed by Secretary Ehrlocker of the New York Fencing Association. He was recommended by McGraw by "Big Bill" Edwards, Lam Thorp and Secretary Ehrlocker. Parker is now in Florida, but will return to New York on February 29 and will leave with the Giants for their trining camp in Texas on February 29. While in New York, Parker will be the guest of Clarence Dodson of 210 West 133rd street.
Battling Wilhe Rowell was the victor over Melvin Lane in the most interesting of the preliminary houts. Lane gave a fine exhibition of gameness, but was too inexperienced for Powell. Kid Aird scored a knockout over Sid Wagner in the first round of another preliminary bout, and Kid Bates won the judges' decision over Joe Bernie in the other.
John Lester Johnson was the retainer of the main bout, and the others were refereed by Danny Bailey.

Barbara Lahore, who gained Annette de Mastan the "unforgiving" in the Rex Ingram production for Metro "The Prisoner of Zinnia," is an act cast in the role of a singer in Mr. Ingram's latest production, "Writing Women," now on the Lincoln Theatre. And in playing two peach-waked women, she finds a holy delight.
There is good in it," she says, "because it brings us back to the eternal varieties of good and bad. The scarlet woman of the of displays in modern writings gives us a sense of rank or slightly mourn. The clear-cut distinction of black and white has been forgotten in a muddled mess of neutral color. The lady who sings in not really siming nowadays; she is going through the throes of a "complex" but in spite of the complexity, the heroine and the adventures are still basic things; the heroine and the adventures are still an adventure to prove it."
"Trifling Women" was written, adapted and directed by Rex Ingram. In the cast are Barry Lester, Lois Stone, and E. Arnold Connellly. John F. Seitz is credited with the photography. The production manager was Sterrett Ford.
AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE
After an absence of more than a year, the Lafayette Phythers returned to the Lafayette Theatre on Monday, February 5, in an interesting drush on marriage: "Why Wives Go 'Wrung,' by Ralph Thomas Kettering. Miss Evelyn Ellis and Barrington Carter, the two principals, received an enthusiastic welcome from the man they met for the occasion. The play is well staged, and the acting of the entire cast is above the average. However, the work of Miss Ellis and Mr. Carter stood out, above that of the others. Others in the cast include G. Edward Brown, Elda Scotton, Dan Edwards, Addison Cary and Alex Double.
In addition to "Why Wives Go Wrong," Henry Creamer entertains with a group of his new songs, with a special performance on Friday night, a singing contest will be conducted among the patrons of the theatre.
A record business is expected at this theatre next week, when Florence Mills opens her final engagement here before going abroad. Her "Plantation Revue," the most popular of the most popular attractions of the season. Her engagements at the Ladies' site will be limited to not more than two weeks.
MIKELL'S CADET BAND
MAKES GOOD SHOWING
Lieut. Mikell's promise to show Harlem something new was kept to the letter on Friday night, February 2, when he presented the new Cadet Band, comprising some thirty-five little Yellow who have been studying and practicing some instruments, and who have come together under Lieut. Mikell in the formation of what is to be known as the 369th Infantry Cadet Corps Band. About 250 Harlemites and others were present at the 369th Armory, 132nd street and Seventh avenue, and they were given a cordial address of the McLennon-McLennon commander of the 369th regiment while Col. Little is absent in Europe, Col. McLennon told of the desire of Col. Little to develop the cadet corps and declared that the officers of the 369th would cooperate in every way possible to make the cadet band a valuable adjunct to the regiment. Unit of the New York National Guard, the first Negro unit to be so distinguished.
Lieut. Mrkell, who is bandmaster of the 30th Intantry, and who served as leader overseas of the famous Helfgarten Band of the Old 15th N.Y. (369th A. F. L.), spoke briefly of his purpose in organizing the cadet band, and told of the need of assistance in churping instruments with the drummer. Col. McClinton quickly informed the bandmaster that there was no need to worry on that score. Information at hand is that already Col. McClinton has secured from interested friends uniforms for eight or more of the little chaps.
Fred R. Moore, editor of The Age, stepped in for a few minutes on his way to fill another engagement, but because he interested in the showing of youngsters in the troupe he concluded. He again enthusiastically of the movement and of the value it would be to the boys and the community in general.
The thirty-five children, boys and girls, hard-brass brass and string instruments, pay a program as surprising as an artistry. Later, talking of the officer, Lieut. Mikell said he hoped eventually to have an organization numbering 200 or more, composed of boys, ranging from 10 to 18 years of age, both instruments will be applied. Boys and instruments will be added to their parent or guardian's home. Mikell at the university every Friday, evening, 6 to 8 o'clock, and get proper application "blank." Weekly rehearsals are held at this time.
The endless death of our late experiment, F. K. Cook, adds to the tragic manner in which it emerges, in deeply regressed by the well-wishtaking portions of this district. Removed from the activities of life in the flash of mood, and taken in what we might be the twisting of an eye, was in itself deploquent occurrence; from an executive assistant the painting is equally recognizable. During peculiarities we truly believe the tried to do what he thought was best for the parters' economic, social and moral welfare.
In making this claim we are not unmindful of the fact that some of his declinations affecting the porters were unusually harsh, but those were individual cases and we must lose sight of the idea that in the handling of such a large number of men such a course is sometimes imperative for the good of the many. If we reviewed Mr. Cool's attitude toward the employer who were under his supervision it is a natural sequence to concern ourselves with "his commitment to porters and things which concerns him." What employees may say for or against him is not our affair. Consequently, we shall mention a few things to show an insight in the character of the man and how he felt toward us.
Beginning with those quarterly lectures, which we think he originated, he tried to impress upon each porter this fact: That efficiency in service was the porter's commodity for sale and as a standard of his occupation by delivering the goods we had in stock in the most satisfactory and proficient manner. We heard him say at one of these meetings: "Men, you cannot do your best when you are bothered with domestic and other troubles; when going on the job you are bothered from home; if you are in difficulties come to me, perhaps I can help you."
Men in his position do not bother themselves about your personal troubles unless they have your interest at heart. Last Summer, when we held our first outdoor athletic meet, there was not a bigger booster of the event than he. A little illustration as to how interested he was. "A porter who sings quite well promised him he would take part in the singing feast, but when the time came he did not appear. Mr. Cook showed him several pieces of clothing." Porter "B promised me faithfully he would be here." During the baseball game when one of the boys, who is a student porter, knocked a home run, Mr. Cook met him at the plate with a ten dollar bill. These instances may seem small but they speak volumes; they go under the skin and demonstrate the inner qualities of the man. The least we can say is, perhaps, he will be better appreciated as time unfolds itself.
McVey and Taylor Will Meet Again on Feb. 20
Much interest is being shown in boxing circles over the return bout between Jack McVey and Sandy Taylor, which will be held at the 15th Armory on Tuesday night, February 20.
McVey recently defeated Taylor for the welterweight championship of the National Guard tournament of the national season ever staged, in Harlem. Friends of Taylor claim that he was got in condition that night, and that he will be an easy winner in the return bout on the 20th.
"Everywoman" Given By Mrs. Dorsey in Capital
Washington, D. C—The drama "Everywoman," presented at the Lincoln Theatre Thursday night and Friday afternoon, February 1 and 2, by Mrs. Mary Ross Dorey of Biont, Mag., and cast of fifty selected from Washington's local talent, was one of the most graphic efforts ever staged in the nation's capital. More than two thousand citizens packed the beautiful Lincoln Theatre to its doors, the boxes being filled with society groups in evening attire. Mrs. Dorey pleased critical Washington and we were thrilled from beginning to end.
The snow storm scene in Act 4, where "Youth" was slain by "Father Tim" was perfectly acted. Nathauel Guy was a perfect "Chronicleer."
Much credit is due the Tuesday Evening Club, under whose auspices the drama was presented. Mrs. Myrtle G. Charles, president.
Among the bookholders were: Commander H. Toregil, Judge and Mrs. Robert H. Toregil, Perry W. Howard, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Curtis, Dr. and Mrs. C. W. Childa, Dr. and Mrs. Emmet J.

FOOTBALL LETTERS
(English to the New York Age)
Bordentown, N. J.-For the first time, the school letters and gold footballs to varsity members of the Bordentown Industrial School football squad. It is hoped that this will not only encourage a higher type of athletics in the school, but also cause more of the boys who become students here to take part in the game which if played in right spirit, is not only a builder of strong bodies, but a builder of character.
After the presentation, Major Daniel, the coach, gave a short talk in which he made known the fact that during a banquet given the squad at the end James Reid, one of the star half of the season. James Reid, one of the star half backs and captain of the victorious track team of "23, was elected captain of football team for '23, with such a leader to fill a 'Bullet' Watson's place, we may well look forward to another successful season for the team.
The names of those who received letters and footballs are as follows: W. Watson, captain; M. Burgert; G. Waltson; M. Burgert; G. Waltson; R. McDermott; R. McDermott; R. McDermott; E. Reigan; E. Strickland; W. Petty; and H. Prigg.
NEWS OF THE CHURCHES
The 11 o'clock service Sunday morning, February 4, at Mother Zion Church, was attended by a large congregation of worshippers. Long before the sermon began, almost every available seat was taken. Mrs. Bushnell, the wife of Dr. Bushnell of Walker, Memorial Church, rendered a solo. Dr. Brown offered a fervent prayer. The sermon was preached by the pastor. He used his subject, "After the Revival I used to state that before the launching of the Revival mission was asked 'Before the Revival, What?' Now that the revival is over, the time is opportunity for taking stock of its accomplishments. Many souls have been brought to a saving knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The campaign has furnished simple material to engage the labors of every Christian worker in the church. He the new converts to acquaint themselves with the requirements of the Christian life by daily reading the Bible.
Dr. Brown stated that at the revival eleven hundred persons accepted the Saviour. Of this number ninety had selected Mother Zion Church. Fifty-three of the people have been reached. Where are the twelve men? There is yet work to be done. The speaker recommended to the young converts that they read the writings of John and the Apostle Paul. The sermon was delivered with sermons with them. At the conclusion, while the choir, "Almighty," suaded, thirty persons united with the church. Of this number some were not professing Christians, and the pastor asked that the entire church, led by J. A. Hopkins, immediately engage in prayer for their benefit. It was a spirit of worship permeated.

The building was crowded at all services, with an overflowing congregation at the evening service. A member of the congregation was handling of the choir under direction of the organist and choirmaster, Mr. Southworth.
other things, "that the great trouble with the church today is it has neither positive convictions nor the proper counsel to work with when his friends and his family forsook him. The church will never appeal to men and women of the world as long as it is charged with committing all of the sins that unconverted commit. Men and women will not lock to the church until they are sure that the church has something that the world can neither give nor take. The church can neither reign with Christ until it suffers for Christ. Its profession of faith must be translated into its everyday acts."
Rev. Marshall Sheppard preached Sunday evening to an audience that occupied all available space in the lecture room of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, the church conducting, itself in such a way as to demand the respect of the world. Sixteen persons were added to the membership roll during the day and $1,266.64 was reported as having been raised by the trustees, the minister, will preach, at 11 a.m., next Sunday at Palace Casino and Rev.

Four persons came forward and united with the church after the sermon. Rev. A. E. Piggott preached at the congregation service at blacklock.
To continue, the good feeling that has been going on during the past month on account of the revival held at the Commonwealth Casino, Rush Memorial, Church is holding a one week's revival from February 4.

St. David's was organized twenty-seventh years ago as an mission, under the vicarship of Rev. Dr. Cliffen, and the first services were held in the front room of a private house in East 189th street. The private, now a fine lounge, later the Church of Confirmation and Mrs Tiffany and the Hob, Charles M. Clark became interested in St. David's, and through their benefaction the three lakes on East 160th street, on which the present church is located, were secured and the humble crypt erected. The work became known as the Charles M. Compfort Tiffany. Memorial Chapel. For twenty-three years the congregation worked unanimously to secure a building fund sufficient for the accomplishment of their desire for a modern house of worship.
Sunday saw the accomplishment of this desire, and the result is the more to be praised since during the past ten years Rector Clifton has labored under the additional burden of being broken in health. The new chapel is a fireproof building, with robing rooms for clergy and choir, basement kitchen and up-to-date heating plant. The Odell Organ Company of New York is building a $4,000 organ, which is to be installed in a short time.

The services were as follows: Holy Communion; 8 o'clock; morning prayer and sermon at 11 a. m. at which time the vicar preached, taking as his text: St. Luke, 8th chapter, 18th verse; "These have no root." Dr. Wood showed the similitude between nature and grace and assured the origin back in the great mind of God from which they proceed. He showed the necessity in these perilous days of being rooted and grounded in the "Faith once delivered to the Saints." He said we see the leaves and fruit on the trees, but we do not see the roots, and as the roots so the fruit; so we see and note actions of men, and the motives the motives what prompt the actions." The choir sang beautiful music, and many strangers are being attracted to the church.
At the evening service the Rev. A. P. Nelson, curate of St. Luke's parish,
president, John Mason says in high terms of the progress of the work at the Mission, the mission was pioneering and the people were proud of the work and not greedy. He told them the mission under their present administration was very bright and in the time they too would have a church in which to worship God. The Mission moves along politically. All departments of the Mission are busy at work to advance the Mission's cause.

The collection has $127. A large number of Boy Scouts attended in a body. Dr. Hyder discussed "Revealed Religion," and the attitude of modern science towards the Bible. The pastor developed the thought that modern science was unable to account for human life upon the earth without recourse to the account of creation as Moe of the Bible. This account satisfies both human reason and enlightened faith. At the evening service, Dr. Hyder preached from the subject: "New wine in old wine skins."

Fleet St. Church, Brooklyn
The most modernizing theme that has been presented to a Fleet Street congregation for sometime and one that will be remembered long, was the "The worse prayer ever made." The sermon was reminiscences or excuses made in the days of Our Lord when the people were invited to the feast. So will it did it fit in our day that the thrill and force of it, as the minister of the church, has given it it is disdistributed to live and to have the desired effect.
Several persons united with the church, and adult baptism at the altar was performed with bishop W. L. Loe and M. M. Jacobs associating.

A city can on a hill cannot he hid." His subject was, "Why Christians should be faithful and loya to their allegiance." He said that one reason is that they are the light of the world. A light is not for itself, it is of service. You get the light as an example so as to bring others. As you see, the light is the light of "Has my light been of service?" Let your light so shine that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven." He impressed the thought that if you live right you will die right. A 8 p.m. Rev.
