BOOK LOVERS' CLUB SUSPENDS ITS WORK Discontinues Activity at the 135th St. Library—Lack of Sincerity to Head Is Charged. Because of alleged unfavorable con- tains surrounding their activities at the West 135th street branch of the New York Public Library, of w. Miss Ernestine Rose is branch librars. The Book Lovers' Club, an organ, formed primarily for the purpose of tending the branch library's usefulness in the community, has discontinued its operations as an organization at that branch. Information was conveyed in a letter from William Service Bell, of 210 West 135th street, president of the club to Franklin D. Hopper, chief of circulation department of the New York Public Library, with office at the 42nd Street Library. On February 4 Mr. Bell wrote Mr. Hopper, stating, the club had decided, "under the unfavorable existing conditions, to discontinue our activities as an organization." R Lack of Sincerity. Continuing, Mr. Bell wrote of "certain unfavorable actions and reactions which we have experienced in our efforts to cooperate with the library branch's force. This we must be frank to state results from the lack of adherence and policy of the head of the branch staff." Referring to the value of the branch library to a community, Mr. Bell said: "No greater injustice can be done to either the employees or the community by placing workers where such service as is rendered is merely a gatter of self-advancement and aggrenishment." With specific reference to personnel of the West 135th street branch library staff, the letter expressed the opinion that "the appointment of persons from those sections of the country where the ambity for the Negro group amounts to a mania should be carefully avoided." In talking to The Age, Mr. Bell said that when the Book Lovers' Club was first organized its activities were given the cooperation of Miss Rose and other staff members, but that later on certain movements were promoted and fostered by the branch librarian that were directly antagonistic to the club. A specific instance cited was the arranging for a series of lectures by authors and writers of prominence to be given on Wednesday nights which members of the Book Lovers' Club considered to be in direct opposition to their meetings, of a similar character, scheduled for each Tuesday night. Reeret at Cliv'a Action. Other instances were cited by Mr. Bell to give color to reason for the club's dedicated decision to do something, activities at the branch library. Under date of February 9, Mr. Hopper replied to Mr. Bell, expressing deep regret at the club's action and declaring that "there surely must be some misunderstanding that has led to this decision of the club." With reference to policy of management of the West 15th street branch library, Mr. Hopper wrote: "The library has made the most careful, sincere, consistent effort to manage the branch library for the best interests of the community. As a matter of fact, I think that it is not going too far to say that during the last two and a half or three years special thought has been given to the 15th Street Branch and special care taken to build up the work there in the best possible way. No branch library in the whole city has received more thoughtful attention. Of the many people of the neighborhood with whom I have had the pleasure of talking, everyone has been keenly appreciative of the effort the library is making to increase the usefulness of the 15th Street Branch; consequently you say in your letter is particularly disappointing." --- (Special to The New York Age) Summit, N. J.-Rev. D. W. Wisher, once pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, New York City, is alleged to have told the white trustees of Fountain Baptist Church (colored) of this city, of which he is now the pastor, and other white friends of the church, that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was an organization which stirred up strife between the races and should not be allowed to meet in the lecture room of the church. As a result many church members, including some of the deacons and trustees, and the colored people in general of the city, are out to get him served as pastor. One Sunday afternoon, sometime ago, as a result of a discussion in the B. Y. P. U. of the church, a decision was reached to form a branch of the N. A. A. C. P. in Summit. The pastor, when informed of the fact, protested to the trustees against the use of the lecture room for such meetings. The officers of the church differed with the pastor about the propriety of the branch forming there, and consequently a meeting was called and the branch organized. The building of Fountain Baptist Church was largely financed by a combined movement of the white churches of the city, and as a result, three white trustees are maintained as a kind of advisory board. The pastor appealed to this white board, which, however, after hearing the arguments of the N. A. A. C. P. advocates, decided in their favor, and approved of the branch holding its meeting in the lecture room.

He was last seen by them on Wednesday evening. January 24, when they were all at home and spent the evening in quiet conversation. There was no indication of mental abberation or physical distress. About 10:30, Benjamin said he was a bit tired and went to bed. He has not been seen by relatives since that he took both Mr. and Mrs. Woodard left the Thursday morning before Benjamin arrives.

The first mysterious element I brought into the case, by the fact that at about 11.30 Thursday morning Mr. Dohson was seen at 53rd street and 91st avenue, seemingly in a dazed condition.

She accosted him, and while he was dazed to a certain extent he was able, it seems, (Continued on Next Page) BISHOP C. S. SMITH BURied in DETROIT (Special to the New York Age) Detroit, Michigan—Bishop Charles Spencer Smith of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, was buried here on Monday, February S, from the Bethel A. M. E. Church. His death came after a long period of illness. Bishop J. M. Conner was in charge of the funeral service as master of ceremonies, and the service was participated in by Bidons B. F. Lee, I. N. Ross, W. H. Heard, L. J. Coppin, I. J. Carey, J. Robert Johnson, J. Flipper, Paul J. Hawk and the Rev. Joseph Gomer, pastor of funeral church. The active pallet hearers were Charles Jenkins, J. T. Lee, Dr. Charles Green, Revs. A. T. Reading, S. Harris and F. D. L. McDonald; the honorary pallet hearers were the Revs. J. G. Robinson, C. E.

Wiley. more than passing notice by many of the good friends of the race. There were many reasons to believe that this propaganda against the N. A. A. C. P. was being spread by Rev. Wisher, and when, at the meeting of the white trustees, they decided against him, he cried out, "You had better mind what I tell you, this organization is against you white folks," it confirmed the belief that he had been spreading damaging propaganda. It is also alleged that the pastor had caused his members to believe that there had been an agreement made with the white people at the time of the building of the church, which would prevent him from being removed from the pastorate. This question was put squarely up to the white trustees, who made it understood that there was no such arrangement, that members of this church are as unharmed in the selection of their pastors as those of any other Baptist church. Many of the members of the church have for a long time been in favor of asking for Rev. Wisher's resignation, and now since they have the additional charge of race disloyalty, and having the illusion that he could not be removed, exploded, they are trying to make short work of the effort of getting rid of him.

WHITE MEN REFUSED MIXED JURY DUTY Object to Colored Man In Jury Box, and Court Fines Them $25 Each as Result. (Special to The New York Age) Berkeley, W. Va.-Fines of $25 were imposed upon Charles Pack and John Beckner, of this place, following their refusal to sit upon a mixed jury. During the trial of Thomas Harris, charges with selling moonshine, Pack and Harris were apprehended, but when they were called declared, would not sit in the case because a colored man had been called into the jury box. The court then excused them and took the matter under adjudgment. On the following day the two men were called before the court and were fined $25 each for contempt. It is the first instance of this kind known in this state. Confessed Crime For Which Man Is Burned According to Associated Press dispatches of February 9, Roy Mitchell, colored, is being held by Sheriff Lee Stegall at Waco, Tex., after he is alleged to have confessed to being guilty of having committed eight murders during the Just two years, for one of which another Negro was burned at the stake a year ago, and for another of which two others are in the penitentiary. Sheriff Stegall says that the alleged confession of Mitchell clears up the mytery surrounding the laying of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Barker and Homer Turk, for which two Negroes are in prison, one under sentence of death; the killing of Harrel Bolton and attack on his girl companion, who identified a man as the assailant, the man being shot by her father and the body burned by a mob; shooting of W. P. Driskell, May 7, 1922; Grady Skipworth, November 20, 1922; and the double killing of W. E. Holt and his woman companion, Mrs. Ethel Dencamp, January 19, 1923. Mitchell had been arrested in connection with the last named crime. Old Citizens Die Within One Hour of Each Other (Special to The New York Age) Lym. Mass. A sad coincidence marked the death of two old residents of the city, John J. Smith, 77, and Alonzo Smith, 79, both died on Friday. February 9, their deaths occurring within the same hour. John J. died at 4 o'clock and Alonzo at 5. John J. had been a resident of Lym for more than fifty years, and he died at his late home. 14 Marianna street, following a long illness which was induced by heart trouble. He was born in Manapoisett. A private funeral service was conducted by Rev. Wm. H. Lacy, with Mrs. Ada Lacey singing "Beautiful Isle" and "In the Cleft."

J.—The assagination of the late Rev. J. W. H. Randolph which occurred in New Orleans, La., on Monday night, January 1, as he was leaving a church in which he addressed a meeting antagonistic to the Marcus Garvey interests, the shooting being charged the active Garvey agents, has resulted in a movement being started her to counteract the influence of the U. N. I. A. Louis S. Johnson, of 152 Fairmount avenue, is one of the leaders in the movement that has thrown down the gauntlet to Garvey and has "Back to Africa" movement, and he declares that the movement is founded on a flaming resentment against the U. N. I. A., because of the killing of Dr. Eason. Mr. Johnson expresses the belief that Eason was shot by Garvey agents and declares himself in a fight to the finish, not by underhand means or by fireing of American law abiding citizens, but in an American law abiding citizen. A meeting was held in Union Baptist Church, Elizabeth, formerly the home of Dr. Eason, at which condemnatory resolutions were adopted, declaring the Garvey publications to be injurious and contrary to principles of the U. S. government. One of the efforts to be fostered enhances an effort to silence the Garvey press and put an end to collection of money for the "Back to Africa" campaign. Another projected activity is the raising of "J. W. H. Eason Fund," to be used in assisting to prosecute the men held in New Orleans in connection with the slaying of Dr. Eason. This is planned to contract the action of the U. N. I. A. organization, which have already raised some $5000 for the defense of the New Orleans prisoners.

Despite the campaign conducted by The New York Age and several other organizations a few months ago against the sale of illicit liquor, commonly known as "hooch" in Harlem, which was being done so openly on Lenox avenue, this sale goes on unchecked. Through the expose by The Age and an investigation by Deputy Inspector McGrath and a group of prohibition officials, this sale was checked somewhat, but evidently the traffickers of "hooch" no longer fear prosecution. On Lenox avenue from 130th street to 145th street a drink can be bought in almost any delicatessen, at most of the saloons, and even at some of the news stands. Not only can drinks be bought on Lenox avenue, but several places have been opened on Seventh avenue and in the street sides. carry a quart or so to these affairs and solicit customers who purchase by the drink.

This has been largely due to the fact that the saloons in the neighborhood have been able to get a much better grade of liquor, in many cases the real standard brands. That the violation of the 18th Amendment is flagrant throughout the city is evident. Harlem is one of the sections where this amendment is most flagrantly violated. Proof of this fact is not only evidenced in the open way in which liquor is being sold here, but also by the number of drinks and sees in public and at dances and other social functions. Drinking among the younger set at dances is becoming alarmingly prevalent. Many of them carry their own, but if the affair is a public one, this is not necessary, for there are always bootleggers who $2,000,000 Host Negro Veter Vice-President Coolidge Makes Exercises Held at Tuakegee Is Located, On Linco $2,000,000 Hospital For Negro Veterans Dedicated Vice-President Coolidge Makes Principal Address at Exercises Held at Tuskegee Inst.

Vice President Coolidge declared that the Negro's record has "justified the faith of Abraham Lincoln." He spoke in part as follows: "In the less than seventy years that the Negro's race in America have been in the enjoyment of freedom, they have made marvelous progress. That progress is shown, not only in the property which they have acquired, not only in the man, which they have exhibited in the man, which they have exhibited in the law of medicine, of the ministry of teaching, or yet in the administration of horticulture affairs. all of which have been very great, but most of all Motorman and Truck Driver Mix in Flight Which Ends in River Samuel Simmons, colored, who lives at 154 Washington's street, Jamaica, Long Island, drives a motor truck, while William Weisner, white, of Fragglin Square, is the pilot of a trolley car running from Jamaica to Hempstead. Simmons was driving his truck alongside the track on which Weisner was operating his trolley and the two became engaged in a wordy altercation. The motor truck and the trolley car both reached Woodhull River, on the Western Outskirts of Hollis, at about the same time, and the quarrel had attained an intensity which fired both men to settle the affair with their fists. Simmons got out of his motor car and Weisner climbed down from his trolley car. A minute later, fists were flying and then the two men grappled each other. A "dog fall" followed, the men going to the ground without advantage to either individual. But the bank of Woodhull River was close at hand, an dafter the men had rolled around for a hit they rolled over the bank and into the river. At this critical moment, wonder of wonders, Police Officer Leonard Smith of the 120th Precinct chanced to be passing and so was a witness of the fight and the subsequent fall into the river. He fished both men out of the water and then hailed them to the Jamaica Police Court. They had received a good "ducking," and were dripping mud and water when led before Magistrate Koechndorfer, who held them in $500 bail each on charges of disorderly conduct.

But the wasting of money and the ruining of health of a large number of the colored people of this section of the city is not the worst aspect of this problem. The most serious aspect is the undermining of the morale of the community and the destroying of respect for law. The recent appeal of Col. William Hayward, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York for a stronger support of the Volstead law should apply to the colored people of Harlem as much or more so than any other class of people.

Justified indignation has been aroused by recent comparative tending the same school, made by Dr. A. F. Tredgold of Edinburg, Scotland, in an address based on a comparative racial study alleged to have been made in 1913 in the New York City Public Schools, by Dr. M. J. Mayo. With Mayo's report as his authority, Tredgold is credited with the definite statement that in certain schools in New York City "there are constant and important mental differences" in white and colored children.

Should Visit Harlem Schools. P. S. 119, West 133rd street, Mrs Harriet A. Tupper, principal, is one of the schools in which the races are well divided, and Mrs Tupper declared with emphasis, when shown the Tredgold statement, that both the Edinburg man and Dr. Mayo would be convinced that their conceptions were false and opinions wrong if they visited P. S. 119 and older Harlem schools, attended by children of both races. Ordinarily, there is little to choose between colored and white pupils, said Mrs. Tupper, the general average being about the same. But, in a race proportion, considering how generous the whites outnumber the Negroes, the individual honor pupils among the colored then among the white, she called the recent case of little Minnie Peterson, a colored girl who graduated at HEALING SERVICE AT ST.

These ministrations are without cost to the patients. Dr. Wood refusing to accept financial compensation in any sum.

Spencer Carpenter Making Steady Progress (Special to The New York Age) Buffalo, N. Y.—The Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, who has been ill at his home, 11 Ash street, is much improved and hopes soon to be up and about. He was permitted by his physician to sit up on Sunday, February 11, and will be allowed to dress in another few days. He has been seriously ill and his condition necessitates the request to friends that they will not write directly to him making inquiry as to his condition. They are asked to accept the published announcements made from time to time as an accurate report of his health. At the same time Dr. Carpenter expresses the deepest appreciation for the stammer friendship and thoughtful consideration of hosts of friends, especially from Brooklyn, where he pastored before coming to Buffalo. Child, Adopted By Whites, Is of Negro Parentage (Harrisburg, I.M.—Tracking descendants back many years, it has been found that a child, one of twins, adopted by a white family, is of Negro parentage. The family noticed the child had developed characteristics which caused them to doubt its color, and a search into the records followed. It was found one of the twins was adopted by a Negro family and the other by a white family. The children had been left at a Stone institution and later transferred to an orphanage, probably attributing for the latter. the end of Goe winter term last month, who, since last June, completed the work on three classes, 7-B, 8-A, and 8-B, graduating with high honors. And there was another pupil, said Mrs. Tupper, who just failed of completing the same work, missing graduation by the barest sort of margin. It is pointed out that in the various schools of the city, including the high schools, with manual training, vocational and other courses, it is frequently the case that colored pupils are among those winning the highest honors. And this continues to obtain after the colored pupil has finished the various branches of the public, school system and entered various of the country's colleges. The records, absolute in their accuracy, show that in proportion to the number entered, the colored pupil maintains a standing equal to, in many cases, superior to that of the white pupils. Depend on Memory. One point deserving of consideration is that in making his research, Dr. Mayo had to depend on the memory of individual teachers. No records were kept of pupils' racial alignment. It was, therefore, dependent upon what the teacher retained in mind as to work of individuals in a group mass, and the ratings given, as a matter of course, were decidedly unreliable. It is frequently noted that an individual pupil, in many instances the only Negro in a class, is winner of the principal honors, and this is true not only in the public schools, but in college and universities, as well. And it is noteworthy, also, that the gro pupils maintain this record in the realm of athletics, industrial education, music, and whisper other sphere of activity they enter.

Campbell of 206 West 133rd street, parole officer with the Municipal Parole Commission of New York, has been appointed by Borough President Milner as a member of the local school board of the 15th school district of Greater New York. She is the only colored woman holding a similar position. Miss Campbell has been engaged in social work in a large manner since coming to New York, and before that she was a teacher and supervisee of kindergarteners in the City of Washington. She served as a probation officer in the Court of General Session of New York County, and was for many years superintendent of the Bingham Friendly School, a preschool home for eminent girls. New Orleans Eo Board Finally Determines to Keep Closed for Remainder of stricted Course of St (Special to The New York Times) New Orleans, La.—The New Orleans public school board reversed itself and gave the colored people the rawest deal they ever got in all the history of public education in the city. The school board had built a $200,-000 school house on the site of the old Bayon road school, and named it the Joseph A. Craig School, in memory and honor of a colored man by that name, and had ordered the school opened Monday, January 29, to care for more than $50 Negro school children, patiently waiting for the school to open in order to have a school to go to without having to go twenty-five to forty blocks to reach a school. When everything was set for the opening with all the children and a full corps of teachers ready to go to Craig School, like a clap of thunder from a clear sky came a tountermanding of the order given and the announcement that the Craig School would remain closed indefinitely, and until the board could devise a system of education especially for Negroes, limited to six grades in the grammar school and "three years industrial high school for all Negro children except the few that intend to prepare" for the professions. The attention of the editor of the Times Picayme was called to this raw piece of injustice and he promptly turned the heavy editorial battery of his paper upon the matter. The following in editorial, the leading one, in the Times Picayme of Friday, February 2: "The New Orleans parish school board at a recent meeting voted to keep the newly completed Joseph A. Craig School closed for the remainder of the school year. At the same time a majority of its members initiated a movement looking to some sort of 'reorganization'-and indicating an inclination to deny to Negro children use of the new school building, which was built expressly for their education. The board's action is glaringly unfair and unjust, in this newspaper's opinion. We urge its reversal. We ask the fair-minded white citizens of New Orleans to consider the facts of the case and to join in the effort to insure a just and equitable handling of a situation which, in our judgment, is being grossly mishandled. Here are the facts as we understand them. The new school replaces the old Bayou Road school, continually used for the education of Negro children for some forty years—and so used without protest. The old structure became so dilapidated, so overcrowded, that the school board finally decided to replace it with a new and modern and adequate building. Throughout the present school Negro In Literat Science, Busin Students at Tuskegee at Annu Relate Achievements of the tions—Music By N Negro In Literature; Art Science, Businesse, Commerce Students at Tuskegee at Annual "Negro Night" Exercise, Relate Achievements of the Race in Various Directions—Music By Negro Composers. (Special to The New York Age) Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—That the American Negro has contributed substantially to civilization and to the development of America, was demonstrated by the exercises held in the Institute Chapel, Wednesday evening, February 7, at which members of the senior class related the achievements of the Negro in various directions. The evening, which is designated as "Negro Night," was devoted to orations on the Negro's contribution to science, art and literature, and to the progress of the race in business, education and journalism. The music rendered consisted wholly of compositions of such Negro composers as Samuel Coleridge Taylor, Harry T. Burleigh and Nathaniel Dett. including agricultural implements, wood and metal-work machines, land conveyances, sea-going vessels, electrical devices and mechanical toys. Another oration which was of special interest was that of Lucius Patton of Montgomery, Ala., on "The Growth of Negro Newspapers." Patton traced the progress of the Negro in the field of journalism from the "Freedom Journal" in 1827 to the present day. Negroes are publishing more than 400 publications with a combined circulation of more than 3,000,000. Other speakers were Miss Pearl Lewis, "The Negro in music"; Miss Eudora Holmes, "The Negro on the Stage"; Miss Nina Hall, "The Negro in Fine Arts"; Charles Reynolds, "The importance of the National Negro Bus- Conspicuous among the orations was that of Eugene Harris of Greenwood, Miss, on "Mechanical Arts and the Negro." Harris pointed out among the worthy achievements of the Negro in this direction, that the first clock constructed in America was made by a Negro, Benjamin Banneker, of Baltimore, in 1754, and that Negroes to day hold patients on more than 2,000 inventions, Compulsory Education Vs. Dog Tax in S. C (Special To The New York Age) Beaulock, S. C. There is a compulsory education law on the statute book of this state, and there is also a dog tax law. The state and county officials evidently think more of enforcing the latter law than the first, as with concrete evidence in the following—communication received by the county tax collector from a taxpayer residing at emassee. It is given verbatim in full as follows: Dear Sir Received The Dog Tax Notice.

As that structure took shape and hard-some proportions, neighborhood objections began to be raised against its devotion to Negro education. Wisely and properly the board resisted that pressure for a time. Its constancy to its original purpose was that the school was named in honor of a Negro who had served the cause of education many years ago. Only a little while ago it refirmed its position. "The sudden reversal occurred just as the building is ready for use. Closing of the school leaves the Negro children in a district heavily populated with Negroes without school facilities. Their transfer to other schools is talked about. That is a practical impossibility, not only because the distances to be traveled are too great in many instances, but because the other schools are already overcrowded. The board's action amounts, in effect, to denial of schooling to hundreds of Negro children even while the building erected for their use stands idle. "There is not even the color of justification that might be pleaded if white children in the district needed this new school for their own use. Superintendent Gwinn has reported that the white schools in the district, far from being overtaxed, have accommodations for more children than now are enrolled. It therefore appears to be impossible," he concludes, "to use this building as an elementary school, for white children." "It is, we submit, utterly unfair to deny to Negro children a school built expressly for their use, upon a site dedicated to their education without protest for forty years. So flagrant an injustice ought to provoke vigorous protest from all fair-minded folk. Permitted to stand, it will constitute a grave injustice, its pride, itself upon its fair treatment of its Negro citizenry and its care for the elementary education of the Negro children." It goes without saying that the colored people held mass meetings, formulated protests and appointed strong committees to take their protests to the school board, both against the keeping of the Craig School closed and against the proposed emasculated and abbreviated system of education for Negroes. But there as the possibility that a board that had treated them the way they were treated would shelve the protests, and therefore recourse was had to other sources of publicity as a means of reaching the fair-minded public to make sure that the public should have light on the wrongs done our group. including agricultural implements, wood and metal-working machines, land voyneys, sea-going vessels, electrical devices and mechanical toys. Another oration which was of special interest was that of Lucius Patton, of Montgomery, Ala., on "The Growth of Negro Newspapers." Patton traced the progress of the Negro in the field of journalism from the appearance of "Freedom's Journal" in 1827 to the present day when Negroes are publishing more than 400 publications with a combined circulation of more than 3,000,000. Other speakers were Miss Pearl Lewis, "The Negro in music"; Miss Eudora Holmes, "The Negro on the Stage"; Miss Nina Hall, "The Negro in Fine Arts"; Charles Reynolds, "The importance of the National Negro Business League"; Miss Virginia Smith, "Reducing Illiteracy Among Negroes"; Miss Katherine McNeil, "Negro Authors"; and William Stewart, "Race Adjustment."

J.—Counsellor Oliver Randolph of Newark is the 'only Negro member of the New Jersey House of Assembly, Dr. W. G. Alexander of Essex not having been renominated. Assemblyman Randolph has been active in connection with matters affecting the race, and has introduced a number of bills, which are of interest. Counsellor Randolph has been made a member of four committees, being chairman of the Committee on, Bordertown Institute. He has introduced the following bills: 1.

THE NEW YORK AGE; SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1921 DENVER PAPER STIES STRIFE AMONG RACES Conducting Dispicable Campaign To Bring About Segregation in Public Schools. (Special To The New York Age) Denver, Colo.—In a disastrous campaign conducted by the Denver Post, a yellow journal, to abolish mixed schools, every effort is being made to foment strife between white and colored pupils. "Social equality" and other demagogic appeals are being made by the sheet in its agitation for segregation and un-Americanism. Any little incident in which colored and white children figure is magnified for the purpose of creating antagonism between the races. Recently a quarrel of no consequence between a colored and a white boy, ten and twelve, respectively, was pictured as a race riot with one-hundred white pupils threatening to do the Negro lad bodily harm. While the better element of both races do not take the vicious efforts of the Denver Post seriously, at the same time they view with much regret the sad spectacle of a newspaper arraying itself on the side of Ku Kluxism. There are not more than one-thousand colored pupils in the public schools of Denver. Heretofore white and colored children have attended mixed schools without friction. White Boy, Blacked Face, Robbed and Was Killed Kansas City, Mo.—A policeman's revolver bullet stopped the career of Ray C. Bishop, a 19-year-old white boy, student at Central High School, and member of the football squad, and disclosed the fact that another, "Negro" robber was in reality a white man, for Bishop had blackened his face with charcoal, put on overalls and jumper and robbed two gasoline filling stations of about $22 before he engaged in a gun battle with Lawrence W. Ferguson, chauffeur at the Sheffield Police Station. The student was held in high esteem by his relatives and friends, all of whom were dumbbounded when news of the circumstances under which Bishop met his death came to them. Mrs. William H. Bishop, his mother, looked down upon his charcoal-blackend face, and sobbed, "I can't believe it is my boy, he was too good for that," and Otto Drobash, principal of the Central High School, spoke of the dead youth as a splendid type of young manhood, but on the desk of the police sergeant at the Sheffield Police Station there was a .32 calibre revolver, taken from his pocket, a blood-stained jumper and overalls, and $22 in bills. Ferguson, wounded in the groin, is in the General Hospital, and he declares that Bishop fired first. Only the bullet from Policeman Ferguson's gun unmasked the ghastly truth—that the "Negro" robber was a white boy. 13 Men Subscribe $13,000 to Howard Medical School (General to The New York Area) W. Washington, D. C.—$13,000 for the $25,000 endowment fund of the Howard University School of Medicine was raised at a luncheon meeting of twelve physicians and one business man on Friday. Those who contributed were Drs. A. M. Curtis, Michael O. Dumas, Milton A. Francis, Hamilton S. Martin, S. Thompson, Charles I. West, Jr., R. Wilder, Simon L. Carson, James C. Dowling, F. D. Williston and W. A. Warfield, and Mortimer M. Harris, all of Washington, and Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland of Newport, R. I. The names of those who contribute $1,000 whether graduates of the University or not, will be placed on boards in the building. Friday night about forty physicians and their wives met in the new dining hall of the University and received final instructions for a campaign for the medical endowment fund. One hundred and thirty students in the Medical School volunteered to assist. About $65,000 already had been secured in cash and pledges, and the amount to be raised between now and July 1, is $185,000. M. I. Federation. (Special To The New York Age) Newark, N. J.—The New Jersey State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs held its first quarterly executive board meeting at Tents Hall, Chestnut street; Newark, Wednesday, January 31, the Newark clubs entertaining. Luncheon was served to about fifty officers and presidents and secretaries of clubs. Then the board went into executive session, Mrs. Douglas presiding. Among the interesting letters read by the corresponding secretary was one from the State Board of Education commending the Federation on its action with something a scholarship at the Bordentown Institute. The board endorsed the candidacy of Mrs. Lottie Orange of Orange, who is on the eligible list for probation officer in Essex County. Mrs. Cooper has been doing volunteer probation work. Mrs. Randolph, president, who has been in Africa for the past fourteen months is expected home the last week in April. The Paterson clubs and the Plainfield clubs reported having formed city Federations. The next meeting, in Jersey City on the first Wednesday in May, will be featured by a welcome reception to the president, Mrs. Florence Randolph, on her return from fourteen months in Africa. LUCKY SYMBOL 102 MARKETING THE MARKETING SYSTEM Colored Citizens Win Fight Against Jim Crow Schools Four Months' Contest in Springfield, O., Ends With Court Decision Which Stage Local School Board Frqm Segregating Race Pupils in Fulton School. (Special to The New York App) Springfield, Ohio.—Colored citizens residing in the Fulton district have won their fight against having a jim crow school located in their midst. For four months the School Board, hacked, up by the City Manager and Police Department, has tried to establish an all-colored school in Springfield but the loyal race men and women said no, and meant it. For four months, in rain and snow, pickets have marched around the schoolhouse in which the authorities wanted to operate a jim crow school and kept the attendance down from 500 to 47 pupils. Parents were arrested for not sending their children to school, but were victorious in every court. A. N. Summers, ex-judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio, was chief counsel for the parents, assisted by John McCormick, Sully James and George W. Daniels, the latter two race attorneys. The fight was directed by the Civil Rights Protective League, Charles L. Johnson, president, with the assistance of its officers. Asked Restraining . Order. The case was heard in the Common Pleas Court before Judge Frank M. Krapp, the court being asked to issue a restraining order to prevent the local school board from transferring children to or from the Fulton School or any other school on the basis of race or color. At Fulton School the board has employed all colored teachers for this school year, and Judge Krapp gave two alternative plans for its operation. One to close the school for the remainder of the term and transfer pupil to other schools, the other to Fulton School, giving children through their parents the option of voluntary attendance there, or at any other school or of remaining away from school altogether. Judge Krape-held it would work a hardship on children attending other schools to be forced to return to Fulton, but ordered that for the school term beginning next fall all children resident in the Fulton' school district will be required to attend Fulton School, except such as may be permitted to attend some other school for special reasons not based on race or color. "Such special reason," the decision reads, "shall rest in the sound direction of the board and is superintendent, but shall not be frivolous, colorable or arbitrary." In regard to the question raised by the school board in its defense that no separate-school was created the decision reda: "The evidence establishes beyond service. The 92nd Division was composed, exclusively of Negro troops. They had 639 commissioned officers especially trained at Fort Des Moines. They furnished 100 Medical Reserve officers, while the total of their commissioned officers reached about 1,200 in number. "They were brave and courageous in the face of the enemy. Their total casualties were approximately 103 officers and 1,543 enlisted men, of whom six officers and 203 enlisted men were killed in action. The high character of their service is shown by the fact that fourteen officers and forty-three men received the Distinguished Service Cross, while the First Battalion of the 367th Infantry and the 369th Infantry were awarded the Croix de Guerre by the French. It was not merely their soldiers in the field, but their citizens in the supporting army of production and transportation at home, both men and women, whose efforts contributed to the success of the allied armies. More than that, they gave generously of their resources, purchasing the securities of the Government, and contributing to the Red Cross and other war charities. Their patriotism shone forth in every field of action. "They had the commendation of the Secretary of War, General Pershing and former President Roosevelt. Brigadier General Sherburne of Massachusetts, who trained and commanded some of the Negro artillery, gave me this statement:—Tuskegee, during the War, furnished to the colored artillery regiments some of the finest troops in France. In technical excellence they were unsurpassed. They developed wireless and telephone communication effectively and showed marked ability in the technical lines. President himself saw the work of the colored artillery and the destruction brought by it. That is high praise from a man who knew. For the service of the Negro race at home and abroad during the War they have the everlasting gratitude of the American people. They have justified the faith of Abraham Lincoln. "Returning home, in common with their comrades, they resumed their peace-time occupations. Like other Americans, they have as a result of their experience a firmer patriotism, and like the other peoples of the earth, they are in the enjoyment of a great freedom. Together we are working-out, in theory and in practice, that hope of Washington and Lincoln. It is a long, voluminous, and protracted accomplishment with disappointments and delays, but in the progress which has been made there is every reason for encouragement and satisfaction. "It takes time and patience and perseverance to put into practice our theory of human rights. Lincoln knew that, if there was one virtue that he seemed to possess more than another, it was that of forbearance. It is well for us, who must live together as Americans, whatever our race or creed may be, commonly to remember his words. 'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies.' Those who self up animations, those who create any kind of hatred and grievance are always supplying to the public welfare. We have done out of his will with a love and a demonstration to live in Methodical Plan. (Continued from First Page) Have a Breeder Outlook all controversy a careful and methodical plan to create a separate school by a discrimination based solely on race and color in the assignment of pupils. This brings the fact squarely under a decision of the Supreme Court of Ohio in the case of the Board of Education versus State. "There is no occasion for a discussion of the law. The Supreme Court has spoken, and this court has no option in the matter. It must: follow the law as laid down without regard to any personal views on the subject. "Counsel for defendant have raised some other questions which can be quickly disposed of. One is that segregated schools are not illegal of themselves. This is true. When a district is populated by one race exclusively, the school is necessarily a separate school for children of that race. But this is a natural result not brought about by manipulation." Another Contention. "Another contention is that no compulsion is used in respect to children in the Fulton district. That the permission extended to some does not amount to compulsion as to others to whom such permission is denied. That is pure sophistry. When children are required to attend school, and all schools; but one are closed to certain of them, it is idle to say that there is no compulsory discrimination in respect so such children. "The situation is not saved by the fact that white children may attend Fulton school. The fact is that none do, and none are reasonably expected to do so. Much is made of the fact that three white children of one family enrolled and attended one day. It is claimed that they would attend now if not prevented by threats. But there is nothing but hear-say evidence to support this claim. Neither the children nor their parents were called to give their testimony. Even if true, one sporadic incident of this character would not alter the substantial facts of the situation. It is only by severe straining and twisting of both the law and the speech of the claim of the board through its superintendent and others, could be held legal. "However unpopular this decision may be to many, this court cannot do other than render judgement in accordance with the law and the evidence, as it sees them." The case was heard before Judge Krapp two weeks ago and taken under consideration by him. The decision makes permanent a temporary restraining order issued against the board by Judge Frank W. Geiger shortly after the petition was first filed. peace with all the world. Out of a common suffering and a common sacrifice there came a new meaning to our common citizenship. Our greatest need is to live in harmony, in friendship, and in good will, not seeking an advantage over each other, but all going to serve each other. In that spirit let us dedicate this hospital and dedicate ourselves to the service of our country. To do that wisely, patiently, tolerently, is to show by the discharge of our duties our indisputable title to fellow citizenship with Abraham Lincoln. C. H. Tobias at Tuskegee Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—"Most members of G. colored student groups with which I have lived and which I have observed in our universities apparently assume the attitude that 'Here I am, conscious of my need of training, willing to accept all the learning that you can give me and I submit lamb-like to the process,'" said Rev. Channing H. Tobias of the Y. M. C. A. headquarters, New York City, in addressing the teachers and students of Tuskegee Institute at the regular Sunday evening service. "This attitude," continued the speaker, "does not appeal to me.

Anderson Adjudged as Bankrupt (Sponsor to The New York Age) Jacksonville, Fla.-On February 7, Judge Call, in the United States District Court, handed down a decision in the case of Anderson & Co., bankers, declaring the partnership and individuals composing the same to be bankrupts. This banking firm is headed by Charles H. Anderson, who has enjoyed considerable moriidity as having rise, from the lowly estate of a bootblack to being the head of a bank. Mr. Anderson was for several years treasurer of the National Negro Business League, but was not reelected at the 1922 session held at Norfolk. Some time ago Mr. Anderson purchased the building at corner of Lenox avenue and 135th street, New York City, known now as the "Bank Building," and announced his purpose of opening a bank in New York City. The State Banking Commission, however, failed to grant him the necessary permit, and the proposition has never materialised. A short-order restaurant now occupies the quarters which were intended for the bank, and the rest of the building is used for offices and furnished room accommodations. Kappa Alpha Psi Frat Chapter at Institute (Special to The New York Age) Institute, W. Va.-The Tau Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi has been established at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute. Kappa Alpha Psi is a national Greek letter college fraternity for Negroes. The Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity was organized at the University of Indiana by three Negro students, Elder Diggs, Byron K. Armstrong and Irvin Armstrong, in 1911, and was incorporated under the laws of the State of Indiana. Since its incorporation the organization has established eighteen undergraduate chapters, ont including the Institute chapter, and there are twelve alumni chapters which are located in as many cities in the country. The growth of Kappa Alpha Psi has necessarily been slow on account of certain definite principles under which the organization operates. For example, it has steadfastly refused first, to establish chapters in white institutions where the administration does not give Negro fraternities the same recognition as they give the white ones. Applications from Harvard, Yale, Brown, etc., have been turned down because of the attitude of these institutions toward Negro fraternities. Secondly, for a number of years it refrained from granting chapters to Negro institutions of collegiate standing. This policy, however, was later modified in order that three leading Negro universities of the North—Wilberforce, Howard and Lincoln—might be included in its list of acceptable schools. Recently on account of the raising of the collegiate standard of Morehouse College, Atlanta, and Meharye Medical College, Nashville, and Meharye Medical College, chapters in these institutions. The chapter at Institute was set up by George F. David of Wilberforce University, past grand polemarch. The initiatory caremonies were held in the Maslone Temple. In Glasscock Hall a five-course dinner was served. Charles E. Mitchell, T. Gillia Nutter, Amos T. Bartlett and Elijah Craighead were made members. The officers are Edward Dickerson, polemarch; Fitzhugh Eaves, vice-polemarch; Elijah Craighead, keeper of record; C. E. Mitchell, keeper of exeququer; Amos Bartlett, strategus; Dillard Wilson, lieutenant strategus; Dr. F. C. Sumner, chapter historian; G. Victor Cools and William F. Savoy, members of the board of directors; Delber, M. Prillerman, publicity-agent. BATTLE PAYS DEATH PENALTY (Appointed to The New York App.) Treisman, N. J.—William Battle, the twenty year old colored boy of Orange, N. J. was executed by electricity in state prison here on Tuesday morning February 13, for the murder of Mr. Elliott-Louise Brigham in her home at Orange on December 27. After his conviction, two aliens declared. Battle to be of low mental calibre and incapable of the murder and an effort was made to have his confession, which he made to the police, vided as having been signed without knowledge of significance. A knowledge examination was made last week by three of the state hystopias who pronounced him sane, and his sentence was reaffirmed. Battle was accompanied to the chick by Rev. H. C. Van Peit of Newark and by the prison chaplain. He was pronounced dead after one shock had been administered. Prosperous Farmer Was Persecuted By White (Sponsored to The New York Age) Trenton, N. J.-Up to two years ago George Green was a prosperous farmer in Georgia. His prosperity around the envy of whites in his community, who enacted a series of persecution that finally caused Green to turn his eyes towards the North. Two years ago he came to Trenton with his family and located at 199 Lamberton street, with his wife, two daughters and son. The family remained intact until Saturday, when the wife and children, Mrs Susie Green, died by stricken and died.

Pride Makes Good Record in Shoot Elizabeth, N. J.—John H. Pride, one of the best marksmans in New Jersey, a member of the Duane Gun Club, gave further evidence of his prowess at the traps when he tied Anthony Alberts of the Climax, Arrowhead and Duane Club, for second prize in a special 100-target shoot at the regular meet on February 2. Mr. Pride broke 94 targets out of 100, making an even performance with Alberts. The winner was Jack Terry of Plainfield, who was also successful in defending his possession of the Tri-County Cup. Mr. Pride is the only colored member of this sportsmen's organization. The shoot was held on the range of Climax, Gun Club, Plainfield. Mr. Pride has been notified by the secretary, Ray Stryker, of the Brook Gun Club, of his selection as a member for the current year. This club has recently been taken into the Metropolitan Trap Shooting League, composed of seven of the leading globs of the country. Mr. Pride's membership will enable him to represent the club in many important matches during the season which opens March 15 and closes October 15. Amphibians In Baltimore Given a Great Ovation Baltimore, Md.-Not since the Royal Hayes farewell given several years ago has Bethel A. M. E. Church, Rev Fred Douglas, pastor, been so complete filled with an enthusiastic audience it was assembled there when the Amphibian Glee Club of Washington, J. Henry Lewis, director, was presented by the Post Office Glee of Baltimore, Md. A pleasant feature of this event was the spirit of cooperation manifested between the two organizations. The opening number was sung jointly under the directorship of Mr. Lewis, and the closing number was similarly given with Mr. Thomas handling the baton. The Amphibians received a great occasion and were compelled to respond to frequent and insistent enquiries. After the recital a reception was imitated the Amphibians at the Royal Palace. The Post Office Glee Club is composed of a fine set of young men who are connected with the government service in Baltimore, and although it is not two years old their concerted work is far above the average.

IT is contended by many earnest students of racial conditions in this country that the Negro, like the female character in Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Urale Tom's Cabin," "just growed." The need for a real constructive program in building up racial solidarity is therefore insisted upon as a vital necessity. Pressure from without has contributed largely to this result where the forces of prejudice and discrimination have driven the members of the race to combine in order to serve their special interests in business and other relations of life. The lack of this outside pressure in other communities has retarded certain business developments because of the facilities already existing which served the same purposes. The building up of a race is not to be accomplished in a day or a year, especially when the race concerned is strongly imbued with individualistic tendencies. The Negro race in America is fundamentally an American product, root, stem and branch. Its original ancestors undoubtedly came from Africa, but little of the habits and traditions that they brought with them has survived. In the three centuries since they landed on American soil their descendants has been absorbing the spirit and the letter of American civilization as built up and created by the different European races that settled this country. The various qualities contributed by the war in the straits have been acquired by those of African extraction, modified or precipitated by the surviving traits built up from the period before immigration. But primarily the Negro on American, because no other country can take the place that America has played in his racial development. It follows then that all plans for social and industrial development must be shown the life of American progress. This is seen apparent in the steadily already made in religious welfare and fraternal organizations, insurance and financial institutions, educational progress and individual and cooperative business enterprises. The need for further development along all these lines is pressing, but there is also need for keeping this development moving in legitimate channels and safeguarded from exploitation by unscrupulous promoters. Too many individuals make a practice of preying on the community on the plea of helping to start race business. The honest promoter of any business enterprise should first acquire the requisite experience to conduct the business he plans. He should start with his own capital and demonstrate the possibilities of success. Then if additional funds are needed for expansion he can appeal for more capital with a showing that will prove his good faith and inspire confidence in his enterprise. The possibility of establishing small retail business has not been tested to the extent that it deserves. Department stores and other concerns doing business on a large scale involve a large overhead expense to run them successfully. The smaller retailer can keep down this item and give special service to each customer. Cooperate enterprises to be successful demand trained management and united support by the interests for which they are established. They have proved useful when formed by farmers for the purpose of getting their supplies at wholesale prices and disposing of their crops in bulk without the intervention of a middle man. Lodges and societies should prove a potent factor as business builders, if the support of their members could be enlisted along legitimate lines. The same degree of immanency shown by them in the purchase of regalia and uniforms might be diverted into regular business channels without involving any extra expense or responsibility. A feature that detracts from the unbuilding of the race in some respects is the holding of too many conventions in various parts of the country. Serious minged critics are inclined to pronounce many of these gathering: a waste of money and energy. The amounts paid to the railroads, hotel and hall proprietors, together with the time and effort expended by the officers and delegates, would serve to put many a struggling race enterprise on its feet. The number of conventions might be reduced to advantage. After all is said and done, we have to go to the conclusion that there is no new way to build up a race in business or otherwise. The practice of thrift and industry, as advocated by that famous American, Benjamin Franklin, remains the only safe and certain road to economic independence. Taking these principles as the cornerstone, the race may confidently expect to make for itself a permanent place in the American business world. PRESS AGENTING LIBERIA. If President King of Liberia had chosen a press agent to secure free advertising for that West African republic as an inviting spot for emigrants from the United States, he could not have done better than the British trader, whose interview appeared in the New York Evening Mail of last Saturday. According to this authority, anyone with five hundred dollars and a dark complexion can clean up a fortune in Liberia, legitimately as well as quickly. This British trader, whose name was given as Harold Robert Taylor, was quoted as follows: "The querrest thing to me is that there is not one American doing business there, although 50 per cent. of American manufacturers use the products of Liberia. "Every cake of soap you buy in the drug store has palm oil in it; all soap requires either palm oil or olive oil. Our street-t-cleaner's broom and the rotary sweeper you see at night is made from passive fiber, which grows only on Africa's west coast. So much radium is being found there that it is estimated the cost will drop to one-tenth of what commercial quantities of gold, silver, tin and diamonds are there for the taking. And any man of dark complexion with $60 or so who couldn't make a fortune there in a few years wouldn't deserve one, that's all." For fear that there might be a stampede of hardy adventurers who boast a dark complexion. From the region of Lenox avenue and 135th street, it is well that the requirement of five hundred dollars was added. Even this nominal guarantee of good faith should not decrease the waiting line greatly, though space should be reserved at the head for Marcus Garvey as the original promoter of the "on to Africa" movement. One trouble is that steamships bound for the West Coast are not as frequent in their sailings as North River ferryboats. However, if the adventurer is game to take a chance on a vessel for the West Coast via Dakar, Bathurst, Freetown, Cape Palmas, Seconddee and Accra, he might be able to make a connection for Monrovia. But he should be careful of his complexion and his pocketbook. HOME BUYING THE REMEDY. Reading in THE Ace of the congested housing conditions prevailing in Buffalo, due to the migration of Negroes from the South to that city, a correspondent in St. Paul wrote to advise us how a similar situation was met and conquered. About two years ago, he said, over two thousand persons came to St. Paul and simply congested things. But the condition produced a desire to own a home. The result is, it is claimed, that the colored people of St. Paul own more homes, and are still buying them on the monthly payment plan, than any other city north of the Ohio River and West of the Susquehanna River. Says our correspondent in conclusion: Let Buffalo hop to it; go on the outskirts and buy and build on the instalment plan. In eight or ten years, they will own in fee simple their own homes. Eastern people are dead slow in owning their own homes except the Brooklyn people. Evidently our friend in the West has not been advised of the progress of Harlem as a home owning community. That advance has been made in the past decade or two since our correspondent left the East. It will be an eye-opener to him, when he comes this way again. However, the recommendation to Buffalo people to become home owners is good, if it is feasible and practicable under existing conditions. To do so requires cheap land in accessible locations for building sites, capital on easy terms for building loans and above all skilled labor for erecting houses, as well as building materials, on terms that will not be extortionate. The high cost of building in New York City and vicinity of late years has done much to prolong the scarcity of housing and increase congestion in the crowded cities. Home buying will solve the problem when the conditions render it possible of adoption. Discussing the proposed "Black Mammy" monument, to be erected in Washington by the Daughters of the Confederacy, the Richmond Planet said: We are offsprings of a good old Christian mother and grand-mother of the "black mammy" type. Any monument, which will be a testimonial of affection to them shall be appreciated by us. If the new Negro, in his demand for equal rights and privileges would mix with his educational ability, the breeding, which carries with it the good manners, and friendly disposition of these good old souls, their way would be easier and they would attain sooner the goal they seek as full fledged American citizen of this Republic. We should insist upon our full manhood rights and privileges, but this would be done all the lines indicated. Good manners and a friendly disposition are not incompatible with educational ability, but they are hard to maintain in the face of the denial of justice and human rights. Insistence upon these rights is too often misconstrued as a burth of manners and denoting an unfriendly spirit. VIEWS and REVIEWS By James Wolden Johnson, Contributing Editor. THREE DISPATCHES. May 26, 1922, the newspapers of the county from Waco, Texas, which read in part as follows: Negro Killed; Then Burned By Waco Waco, Texas, May 26—Waco is quiet tonight follow burning of Jesse Thomas, 23-year-old Negro servi the murder of Harrel Bolton and assault on his body has been great, however, and on numerous occasions been called to different parts of the city where allegation reported, but none was found.

There are some people willing to condone men, especially when they are charged with heinous crime; but who does not shudder of lynching and burning at the stake a man strong as lynching is tolerated, no one can be done to death is guilty. It is difficult some man or innocence even after an orderly trial is probable is it, then, to arrive at the truth of mob action. Law must be abolished not only to safeguard also because of civilization, which is based on registration by duly constituted courts, will not guarantee to every citizen accused of crime of law. Papers of February 9 carried another dispairment on the two referred to above. The diary follows: On May 26, 1922, the newspapers of the country carried a dispatch from Waco, Texas, which read in part as follows: Negro Killed: Then Burned By Waco Mob. Waco, Texas, May 26.—Waco is quiet tonight following the killing and burning of Jesse Thomas, 23-year-old Negro service car driver, for the murder of Harrel Bolton and assault on his girl companion. Tension has been great, however, and on numerous occasions officers have been called to different parts of the city where alleged disturbances were reported, but none was found. On February 9, 1923, the newspapers carried a dispatch from Waco, Texas, which read in part as follows: Negro Admita 8 Murders; Innocent Man Lynched. Waco, Texas, February 9—Eight murders, for some of which an innocent man was lynched by a mob, a second condemned to die, and a third sentenced to the penitentiary, are declared to have been cleared up today by the confession of Roy Mitchell, a Negro, who is held here under guard. The man is said to admit three attacks on white women. The police and the Waco national guardism were being mobilized this afternoon to defend the county jail in event attempt is made to get Mitchell. Rumors of the forming of a mob reached the authorities. Mitchell, the police say, confessed to the slaying of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Barker and Homer Turk. Two Negroes were arrested for the crime, and one of them, Cooper Johnson, is now awaiting execution. The othe is in prison. The man who was lynched because of the crime now laid to Mitchell was thought to have murdered Bolton and attacked his girl companion. After the experience the young woman was confronted by the Negro who was suspected of the crime and identified him. The man was spirited away by a mob, shot to death, and then his body was burned. When Harrel Bolton was killed nearly a year ago and the young lady he was with was assaulted, Jesse Thomas was seized as a suspect by the mob. He was taken before the girl and by her he was "identified." The lynchers then proceeded with their work. The question should naturally arise in the minds of all persons as to how many times in the past this same sort of thing has happened. There are some people willing to condone the lynching of guilty men, especially when they are charged with some particularly heinous crime; but who does not shudder at the mere thought of lynching and burning at the stake a man who is innocent. So long as lynching is tolerated, no one can be certain that the man done to death is guilty. It is difficult sometimes to establish guilt or innocence even after an orderly trial by law. How much less probable is it, then, to arrive at the truth in the haste and frenzy of mob action. Mob law must be abolished not only to safeguard innocent men but also because of civilization, which is based upon law and its administration by duly constituted courts, will end in chaos if we cannot guarantee to every citizen accused of crime trial by due process of law. The papers of February 9 carried another dispatch which is a commentary on the two referred to above. The dispatch read in part as follows: Boy Student Blacks Face To Rob: Shot Dead in Gun Battle With C Kansas City, February 9.-His face smeared with char tattoed in overalls and a jumper, Ray C. Bishop, nin member of the Central High School football squad, t ight, robbed two gasoline filling stations of approxima t to death in a gun battle with a policeman after w ast dispatch raises another pertinent question have been done to death for crimes' commit blackened faces? Kansas City, February 9.-His face smeared with charcoal and his body clothed in overalls and a jumper, Ray C. Bishop, nineteen, student and member of the Central High School football squad, turned bandit last night, robbed two gasoline filling stations of approximately $22 and was shot to death in a gun battle with a policeman after wounding the latter. This last dispatch raises another pertinent question—How many Negroes have been done to death for crimes committed by white men with blackened faces? CENSORSHIP OF PRAYERS. opening prayer delivered by the chaplain of the natives of Colorado one day last week brought of censure by that body. Parts of the expression of displeasure and disapproval Colorado legislators were: Our courts are corrupt; God has been expelled from our boats are filled with essayists; our boys and girls are our laboring men are going to work with empty palate and the middlemen wax fat on exhortant words are bursting with money." It seems to us that if anybody has the right to worship it is a chaplain when he is engaged in offering up prayer. If anybody should be speech, we think he ought to be. Individually after the close of the prayer, it is of the Colorado Legislature engaged in a perpetual was then decided that the body go into several hours were given to secret consider with the result that the resolution referred to action on the part of the Colorado House is another illustration of the stupidity so oftive bodies. What was the good of discuss a prayer which had been offered up three or so time that it had long since reached its utter to get there, and no action on the part of the could recall it. Without, although the action of the Colorado and stupid, they were justified in considering utterance. What was the ues of this chaplain give God some information about a number already knew much more about than he long this line that so many prayers deliver ridiculous; for it is ridiculous for a man assemblage and ostentatiously inform God in the morning newspapers and give Him things run better. He is any virtue at all in prayer it is in its mission of weakness and failure and an express more strength and to do better. An opening prayer delivered by the chaplain of the House of Representatives of Colorado one day last week brought forth a resolution of censure by that body. Parts of the prayer which caused the expression of displeasure and disapproval on the part of the Colorado legislators were: "Our courts are corrupt; God has been expelled from our churches; our pulpits are filled with essayists; our boys and girls are going to the dogs; our laboring men are going to work with empty pails while our farmers stave and the middlemen wax (at on exhorbitant prices: . . . our banks are bursting with money." It seems to us that if anybody has the right to be immune from censorship it is a chaplain when he is engaged in his official capacity of offering up prayer. If anybody should be entitled to freedom of speech, we think he ought to be. Immediately after the close of the prayer, it is reported, the members of the Colorado Legislature engaged in a period of heated debate. It was then decided that the body go into executive session and several hours were given to secret consideration of the matter, with the result that the resolution referred to above was adopted. This action on the part of the Colorado House of Representatives is another illustration of the stupidity so often displayed by legislative bodies. What was the good of discussing and disapproving a prayer which had been offered up three or four hours before? By that time it had long since reached its destination, if it was ever to get there, and no action on the part of the Colorado Legislature could recall it. Nevertheless, although the action of the Colorado Legislature was futile and stupid, they were justified in considering the prayer an absurd utterance. What was the ues of this chaplain volunteering to give God some information about a number of things which God already knew much more about than he did? It is along this line that so many prayers delivered in public are actually ridiculous; for it is ridiculous for a man to stand up before an assemblage and ostentationally inform God of what is contained in the morning newspapers and give Him directions for having things run better. If there is any virtue at all in prayer it is in its being a contrite confession of weakness and failure and an expression of the will to have more strength and to do better. MULDOON AND THE COLOR LINE. ing circles in New York are greatly stirred. William Muldoon, Chairman of the State At Heavyweight Boxing Bouts. Mr. Muldoon made the following statement: there will never be a Wills and Dempsey or Dempsey Bout for the Heavyweight Chall this state so long as I am head of the New Sporting circles in New York are greatly stirred over the position of William Muldoon, Chairman of the State Athletic Commission on Heavyweight Boxing Bouts. Mr. Muldoon is reported as having made the following statement: "There will never be a Wills and Dempsey or a Willard and Dempsey Bout for the Heavyweight Championship in this state so long as I am head of the New York State Athletic Commission. The apposition to such bouts is in no way attributal to any of the bouts named." Mr. Muldoon's statement has brought forth a storm of criticism from the sporting writers and also in the editorial columns of the New York newspapers. Bitter protest against Mr. Muldoon's position was also voiced by Senator James M. Walker, who is the so-called father of the New York Boxing Glove. Senator Walker is reported as saying: "If Mr. Muldoon has been correctly quoted then I must raise my voice in protest. If Mr. Muldoon has barred Mr. Harry Wills I suppose then it is because of his color. If that is the case I will not have my name associated with a boxing law that is so un-American as to discriminate against race, color or creed." It is gratifying to see the reaction to Mr. Muldoon's statement of those who are most concerned with the sport of boxing in this state. Mr. Muldoon should not be permitted to interpret the New York boxing law in any such arbitrary fashion. There is no discrimination in the law itself. The discrimination is purely a matter of Muldoon's personal sentiments. Mr. Muldoon seems to fear that mixed bouts will ruin the boxing game and bring the whole profession of pugilism to ruin and disaster. Why Mr. Muldoon, who is quite familiar with the history of pugilism in the United States, should have any such fears it is difficult to understand indeed. Discrimination against colored prize-fighters has become a general policy only within the last ten years—that is since Jack Johnson's fight with Jim Jeffries. Before that time it was the commonest sort of occurrence to match colored men against white men. But if the times have so changed that boxing matches between white and colored men will result in riots and race clashes then it is best that the whole institution of prize fighting should be abolished. The boxing situation in New York State places a direct duty upon the colored press, colored politicians and colored citizens. The situation is one which they should not tolerate. The white newspapers have all protested against the injustice of barring colored boxers. Senator Walker, the father of the present boxing law, has protested and said that he will introduce a new bill if necessary in order to change the present condition. A strong, united and determined protest from colored people themeslves is yet lacking. So long as boxing is a legal sport we ought to see to it that the colored men in the game have a fair show. ANOTHER KING TOTTERING. Events have proved that this is a dangerous age for kings. One after another, we have seen ancient royal heads of Europe toter and fall into the discard. A like fate is threatened for an American potentate, who has exercised royal sway over Southern realms for many years, and has been accorded royal rank under the title of King Cotton. According to acute students of economic conditions, King Cotton is playing for a fall, and he will not fall alone. Superficial observers of the situation credit the boll weevil with being the chief cause for the acknowledged shortage of the cotton crops of the South, but there are other factors that must be taken into the account. A little over a month ago, reference was made in an article on "The Passing Show of Cotton," published in a trade journal known as Commerce and Finance to a statement issued by the Commissioner of Labor for Georgia. This was to the effect that there were at that time fifty licensed labor agents working in Georgia, procuring colored labor for Northern and Western industries. The editor of the trade journal also associated with the Negro migration, the doom of the American cotton industry. A correspondent of a great New York daily, in treating of the general movement from the farm to the factory, laid special stress on the sight of the deserted cotton fields in Georgia. Coincident with the recent Negro migration from Georgia came the announcement that the cotton crop last year was less than it has been since 1878, a period of forty-four years. The crop last year was 60 per cent. less than the previous year. The shortsighted capitalists who control the American Cotton Association, in seeking a cause for this shortage of production, could not see any further than the boll weevil. According to this same trade journal, Commerce and Finance, the association has hired an expensive laboratory expert to corner the supply of calcium arsenate in the country in an attempt to exterminate the pest. The large sum of two million and a half dollars has been appropriated to fight the boll weevil. Practical students of cotton cultivation term this method of combatting the boll weevil as putting the bridle, and harness on the wrong end of the mule. According to their ideas, the black man with the hoe is the natural and most effective means of forstalling the cotton pest. When he gets the seed in, the ground early, cultivates it intensively with mineral phosphate, he makes the plant grow and the cotton mature faster than the vegetable boll weevil, which attacks only the late maturing crops. It is, therefore, contended that a contented and industrious supply of black labor can make a crop of cotton before the insect pest reaches the stage where it becomes destructive. The most effective means of fighting the boll weevil and keeping up the production of cotton would be to insure the Negro labor of the South fair wages and just dealing, so as to keep this element happy and contented and make migration unnecessary as a resort. But neither the cotton capitalists, nor the Southern cotton planters, have come to a full realization of this phase of the matter. So King Cotton is lettering, despite the millions to be spent in dusting machines to give the plants a coating of arsenic, which-the boll weevil is expected to abolish to his ultimate disadvantage. Without the black laborer with the hoe ready to cultivate the plants, the weevil might as well have finished it. These millions might be better advantage in seeking to better conditions for Negro labor, so as to keep it in the South, where it is needed. The result of a shortage of cotton will be reflected in the slowing down of the textile industries in the North. The mills in many manufacturing centers will be obliged to close down and the white mill hands, men and women, will have to seek other occupations. The dye industry, or that part of it which depends on mill orders, will also be affected. The dividends paid to the owners of the mills will cease and many incomes will feel the deficiency. The results of injustice and oppression practiced on the black labor of the South will be widespread. King Cotton is toottering and his fall will involve many of his following. THE CONGRESSMAN'S WISH. A special dispatch from Washington, which appeared in the New York Herald last week, told how the House of Representatives, after a solemn debate, stood by a little word not generally used in polite society. The dispatch read: The house to-day decided that the word "guts" was a legitimate expression and refused to have it expunged from the Congressional Record. Referring to the reckless driving of automobiles, Representative Stafford (Wis.) said the laws were adequate if the judge had the guns to enforce them. Representative Smith (Idaho) moved that Mr. Stafford's remark be expunged from the Record. "I am not in favor of striking out the language," said Representative Blanton (Tex.). "I want to say that guts is a good expression and I wish that more of us on this floor had more of them." The motion to strike out the word was rejected by a viva voice vote. It is seldom that the Texas Congressman ever utters any sentiment that can evoke the approval of any decent man of either party, but his wish that more legislators possessed the quality represented by the obnoxious epithet evidently struck home. The wish need not be restricted to the lower branch of Congress, either. Prof. George W. Carver of Tuskegee Institute spoke to an audience of eight hundred people at Dallas, Texas, on his discoveries of products possible to be made from the sweet potato. According to the Dallas Express. Prof. Carver declared that the soil of the South needed a rest from cotton growing. He was quoted as follows: "Making money from Southern soil now demands higher intelligence. God sent the boll weevil in order to develop a New South—a south of factories as well as farms. Fifteen hundred years ago, the potato and the peanut were grown. But from then until two years ago baking, frying and boiling represented the sum total of the processes through which the potato could be carried. Peanuts were commonly considered as fit only for monkey food. But two years ago we began to really discover the potato and the peanut and out of those discoveries is going to come the reason for the making of use Southland the richest and most prosperous section of America. We now have discovered 150 peanut products and 116 from the sweet, potato." Prof. Carver's discoveries illustrate in a remarkable way the importance of chemical research as applied to common things. But what will the textile factories of the North do without the Southern supply of cotton? Will the professor devise a substitute? Under the heading of "Two Families and One House," the Kansas City Call noted the fact that thirty-seven hundred new houses went up in Kansas City last year and very few of them were for Negroes. It said: "It is not a subject for compulsion against white investors, but for taking steps ourselves. The obvious advantage of having enough houses should imply us to act now. Lower rents, better quarters, improved health, more industrial citizenship, all will come with the better housing conditions. The real estate agent is our agent of progress. The millions of dollars which we lease an interest in banks show we can be if we want to. The tremendous recruitment investment for Negro bues and renters points the way. It is safe and necessary. No reason exists why we should not ourselves improve our housing by liberal investment in all kinds of land and buildings." While the ratio of families in ing accommodation would not be sided excessive in congestion in New York, the difference in the buildings may require a house or family. With the way pointed out the capital in hand, that de- dition should be brought about a reasonable time. Discussing the question as a w colored owners, tempted by in- values, should dispose of their pro- positions in the vicinity of Keosanna W Des Moines Bystander said: If the community is ever to be largerly for colored people, some story like this must be made: Chicago has its State Street; New York's Soux Avenue; Washington and Florida Avenue; other cities have centers. We must have our Center share of Keosatiqua Way. If the generation of today will be telling their sons and daughters tomorrow, "I could have bought." This is all very well, except that we cannot identify the thoroughfare with the Indian name as a part of New York City. It is certainly unknown Manhattan, the Bronx or Brooklyn though it is hard to tell what an exploring party to Queens or Richmond boroughs might discover. The Christian Recorder, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, recently called attention to the fact that the next general conference will bring the church to the place where it average age of the bishops and general officers will be above the age of government in the United States Army. It will mean the replacement of more than half of these officials within the next ten years, it says, and points out the danger of the situation, as follows. There has grown up in the past twenty odd years a dangerous political manipulation in our church. This is only natural. It now tends to go too far. Practically every leader in the church recognizes it. But what shall we do? Will we go on blindly and let political manipulation give us inferior men, irrigating men, immoral and dishonest men to lead our church? Already money is playing too big a place in our general church. It is explicitly stated that a general office was practically "bought" at our last General Conference. And God has not been pleased with it. Shall this continue "What of the future?" we ask. This frank recognition of the evil politics playing too great a part in the church should arouse the leaders and members to grapple boldly with the situation. Let the bishops and general officers be chosen for fitness and ability to serve the best interests of the denomination. The Baltimore Afro-American, in writing that younger bishops should be selected for Africa, said: The illness of Bishop W. T. Vernon who is at his home in Kansas City, M. probably means that he will not return to his diocese in South Africa to attend his duties there before the next General Conference of the African M. E. Church. Very few people past the age of can without tremendous sacrifice to foreign lands and acclimate themselves. The celebrated words of another eminent prelate of the same church are recalled. He said "God called me to the bishop, but He did not call me to go to Africa. Experience in the missionary field would seem to indicate that the Methodist churches should send younger hops to Africa, men not over forty years of age, who would be expected to live on their field for ten years at least. This physical ability to understrain of service in a foreign land one of the requirements that he kept in mind in electing the new M. of the church. A TEXAS LYNCHING, AND LATER (From the New York Times) From Waco, Tex, comes the news of the confession of a mulatto under arrest to the murder of five persons, there being the last two years. Other matters are expected to be cleared under admissions. Naturally the Sniper he should, fearing mob violence, and extraordinary measures for the protection of the County fail. In the same connection, the deputy relate, "a Negro was burned at the stake a year ago for one of the murders which Mitchell confessed." So the lynching rule, in force in many parts of the South, works out as properly before. In the heat of excitement in the lust of bloodshed, a mob captures and burns at the stake a Negro on the谆谆 merely that he had committed a murder. The lynchers had no time wait for evidence, least of all for a real trial, so they "took the law into their own hands." And the sequel is that a year later, another Negro confesses that he committed the murder for which the first one was burned at the stake. What gives especial point to the story as told in the news from Waco is that it is not an exceptional case, as lynching is commonly practiced. The question of guilt is secondary. Right or wrong, the mob commits murder and attains discover the guilty man escaped punishment.

La lealtad, como todas las virtudes, empieza en el individuo: quien no se respete, quien no se ama, no puede respetar ni amar a sus semejantes. Asi, quien no es leal consigo mismo no puede ser leal con los demás. Y como se evale leal consigo mismo? Actuando con probidad; ahogando en uno las pasiones inmobiles, propias de nuestra naturalza animal y fortaleciendo y vigorurando las nobles y sanas pasiones; practicando la caridad sin operanza de recompensa y hariendo el bien sin pregonarlo, sin demenciarlo los odios de los demás en solicitud de un reconciliamiento de bondad que es falso por su origen, por las causas y circunstancias que lo engendran; equivando la traición y el dolio; educando a los espiritus pusillimnes de acuerdo con las Divinas Leyes; tratando de higienizar las almas maculadas por el fango del odio y por la peste de las pasiones bajas. Asi se es leal consigo mismo; porque de todas estas buenas acciones dimana la tranquilidad del espiritu; la felicidad. Y así nos acercamos más y más cada día a la perfección, faciéndonos dignos de la paternidad divina y la fraternidad de los buenos cristianos. Y si es crierta la vida de ultra tumba, no caerá en tetricas perturbaciones un espiritu que se haya cifido a tales normas. . . . La lealtad enmascarada no es la verdadera lealtad . . . del mismo modo que una flor de trapo no es la verdadera flor. Decir que se es leal y alardear de jualo, noble y sincero, no es ser ni leal, ni justo, ni noble, ni sincero; las acciones son el reflejo claro y natente de lo que cada cual es intrinsecamente. Son las acciones juzgadas sanamente, friampte, imparcialmente, las que acusan las cualidades animicas de los indivi duos. La leakad es una cualidad que en cierra muchas buenas cualidad; es una gran virtud que implica otras grandes virtudes; es como un sol misterioso que alumbra a los que nos rodean y cuyas fulguraciones producen una satisfaction exceptional; es la virtud que debe de presidir en todas las relaciones de la vida de los individuos. La leatad y la hipocresia son incompatibles. patibles. El hipocrita no puede ser leal, como el como el reptil no puede ser condor. . . Hay animales que viven en las simas téricas como los hay también que viven en las cimas difamas. . . Hay flores hijas del artificio humano; peto la savia divina no corre por sus tellos. Y así son las realidades de esta vida: ... todas se explican per se. De manera que la lealtad no implica ni adulación ni servilismo.!!

Eugene Kinkele Jones, executive secretary, reported four new branches organized during 1922, and the establishment of a new monthly magazine, "Opportunity." Chairman L. Hollingsworth Wood emphasized the growth of inter-racial affiliation, with an increased interest in traditions of fair play and justice. Focussing attention on these matters has resulted in real Americans accepting the challenge and becoming aroused to throw their influence with the constructive forces. Irving S. Merrell, president, Merrell Soule Co. Syracuse, and C. C. Spaulding, secretary-treasurer, North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, were elected to the executive board. Re-elected for three years were Felix Adler, Mrs. Julia Rosenwald, Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Mrs. William G. Willcox, Miss Nannie Burroughs of Washington, and James H. Dillard of Charlottesville, Va. Chairman Wood, Dr. K. R. Moton, vice-chairman, William H. Baldwin, secretary, and A. S. Frissell, treasurer, were reelected.

Willis of New York City supreme vice chancellor, Knights of Pythias, Eastern and Western Hemisphere, announces that he is planning a tour of various subordinate jurisdictions, visiting local lodges and Courts of Calanthe, for the purpose of explaining that there are no legal entitlements of any sort affecting the E. & W.

The trip is made necessary and Mr. Willis, because recent publications concerning litigation because of alleged malfeasance of certain Pythian officers have not differentiated between other branches of the order and the E.

Willie Walker and Young Jack Johnson Fight Draw Willie Walker, the young light heavyweight and middleweight champion of the National Guard, could not overcome the handicap of a previous defeat by Jim Green, known in the ring as Young Jack Johnson, and the best he could do in the star bout at the 15th Armory on Tuesday night, February 13, was to earn a draw. Johnson, who hails from Boston, is a veteran of the ring, having been the sparring partner of some of the best fighters in the game. He has also been a pupil of the original Jack Johnson, and gave Walker a fine exhibition in defensive fighting. Walker was the more aggressive, but was outkicked by his more experienced opponent. However, the bout was close in every round, and refresher decision declaring the bout a draw met with the general approval of the fans. Walker weighted 163.1-4 pounds and Johnson 124.1-2. In the seminal bout, Kid Alfred 127-3-4 pounds, was knocked out in the second round of a scheduled yy round bout by Pete White, 127-1-2 of the Naval Militia. Kid Lane scored a knockout over Kid Butler in the second round of the opening preliminary, and Frank Otto of the Naval Militia and Earl Knight of the 30th fought a last draw in the other preliminary contest. What promises to be the most sensational bout staged at this army will be fought on Tuesday night, Ethel russey 20, when Jack McVey and Sandy Taylor fight a return bout for the wri- terweight championship of the National Guard. Women's Police Reserve Hold 3rd Annual Dinner The third annual dinner of the Women's Police Reserves of the 38th Prescinct was held at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church on Monday night, Lincoln's Birthday, Captain Elizabeth Mayfield, who has been head of the Reserves since its organization, told of the work that has been accomplished during the past year. She said that the women had handled 1,500 cases during the past year, some of which required real detective work. They have assisted in finding the best, helped the school girls, and contributed money toward the support of needy families. She concluded her talk by saying that there was room for more women in the organization and asking for a large support on the part of the public. Other speakers included Assemblyman Amos, Hamilton Travis, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Grant, Col. Charles Filmore and Fred R. Moore, Misses Sinnings and Hopkins rendered an excellent violin and piano duct.

Y.—On February 3, the Oriental "Speed Merchants" gave evidence of counding into the best of form, by a 49-21 victory over the Jersey Whirlwinds, who lasc year claimed a victory over the original Celtics. At the start of the game, it looked as though the fans of the Hugenot City were going to witness a real battle, but after five minutes, the home team started opopping them from all angles, and soon had the visitors on the run. The first half score was 25-10. The new combination of Ellis and Garcia worked like a clock in the second half, each one making seven field goals. New Rocheille, N. Y., -Continuing then splendid work, in preparation to their coming games with the Vandals of Atlantic City, on February 24, Spartan Braves, March 3, and the Commonwealth Big "5" on March 10, the Oriental "Speed Merchants" of New Rocheille, handed the white Meteor Professional Five of Richmond Hill, to a 51-17 hearing, Saturday night, February 10. The home team played the visitors off their feet from the start, and finished the first half, with the score 34-12 in their favor. The manager of the Meteors seeing that his team had no chance of winning, requested the Orientals to cut the second half to ten minutes, which was done, because the "Speed Merchants" would have surely run up a total of a hundred points or more, in a full time game. The Orientals scored as follows: field goals, Flowers (4), Garcia (8), Monte (5), Gawnor (0), James (2), total 25; fouls Flowers (1). Armory and Athletic Field To Be Erected at Howard (Special to The New York Age) Washington, D.

Appointment of the following committee to secure closer cooperation between the alumni and the University was announced. Dean Charles R. Brown, Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland, Dr. Jesse E. Moorland, Dr. Michael O. Dumas, Col. Theodore Roosevelt and Gen. John H. Sherburne. C. C. White, Violinist. Plays at Tuskegee Inst. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. The Music Lovers Club of Tuskegee Institute presented Clarence Cameron White, one of the foremost artists of the race, in a violin recital in the Institute chapel. A large and enthusiastic audience welcomed Mr. White. The recital was a long anticipated pleasure which was not dulled by its final actuality. Mr. White's finished artistry of expression as well as noise is always a satisfying delight. The realism of the varied movements of the musical program as interpreted by Mr. White and his accompanist for the occasion, Mrs. Harry Simm, a local artist—sparkling, sombre or whimsical—was particularly enjoyable. Mr. White's arrangement of the latter numbers of his program are very excellent. The Negro chant, "Nothing Knows the Trouble We Seen," was stirring in its emotional effect. It was enriched twice. The last time, however, Mr. White graciously obliged with "Auid Lang Syne" without accompaniment. The program in full follows. 1. Fantasie Caprice, (Vieuxtemps); 2. Souvenir, (Drdla), Sevenen Badie, (Gabriel-Marie), Humoreske, (Dvosak), Mazurka, (Wieniawski); 3. Polonaise, (Mylnarski); 4.

CLEM (Ontitled From First Page) to make her understand that he was sick. Mrs. Bush states that she wanted blue ink in nearly all her ink. She minimized to be minimizing what appeared to be temporary relief. Dodson was able to acquaint Mrs. Lily with his name and adden, and with the name of his sister and her telephone number. According to information from Dodson's sister, the young man was able to go to Madison Square Park to report for duty, so the hired lad, who deliveries in the prison, was to escort Dodson to his home. He was also telephoned to Rangley's asking that Dodson was on his account. Conflicting Statement The second element of mystery finds its element in contingent stories which arise at this point. The attendance at the Rangelley Court declare that Mr. Pugh telephoned converting Mrs. Pugh, unable to look out for his help. To the attendant declares he Mrs. Pugh to secure a taxicab and Dobson home, the asking he would be charged. The taxicab was not charged to Mrs. Pugh states that she paid to who served as Dobson's driver for his journey and he took Dobson home for the transportation lines of the city. Mrs. Woldard asserts that her brother had moved in his pockets, to the amount or as less $25 or $30. Several attempts to interview personally the boy were unsuccessful, Mrs. Woodward says. She has called at the place where he has been located, across the street from Mrs. Pugh's residence, but he has been absent in each of several occasions, and did not return through long periods of waiting. His name has not been learned, either in the records or through employment in delivering ice to houses in the neighborhood. According to Mrs. Woodard's information, this boy declares that he went with Dobson to the Rangely Court, according to instructions from Mrs. Pugh, where he was to put his charge in care of the elevator operator, Reaching the building, however, the boy declares that neither elevator operator or switchboard attendant was on duty. Dobson, though, the boy asserts, expresses interest up to his appraisal on third floor, and the left him in the entrance hallway of the court. And this is the last definite word there is as to the movements or activities of Dobson. The Mystery Despera. He did not go to the apartment; the elevator operator and the switchboard assistant say he was not seen by them and as the mystery deepens. There is another, conflict of statements, however, that is of importance. He asserts that no one was duty in the hall of the Rangers Court. But the attendants declare he is mistaken, that at no time during the day was the hall unattended—that some one was on duty at all times. But tenants of the building say it is no public occurrence, where other attendants are at lunch, for the other to be called away from the hall by the requirements of the elevator service, and that these intervals of non-attendance in the hall sometimes cover periods of several minutes. It is pointed out that it would be entirely possible for the boy have armed at Ranley and to have the others alone in the hallway. The most mysterious element in the happening is the disappearance of Dobbs from the entrance halfway up the stairs, perhaps the passersby, dozens of attendants or tenants of the building as he was supposed to have been brought there at an hour when witnesses there would be considerate about one or one-thirty An accident that might have bearing on the case was heard of by Mrs. Woodard. Two Harlem physicians, who were Court without being seen by a lawyer on January 25, say they saw Mr. Woodard with a travail in front of the building. But they could give no clue to the identity of the individuals. Mrs. Woodard has reported the circumstances of Mr. Woodard's disappearance to the Ming Tsehans Bureau of the Police Department and she has called with several trips to the police that she has had no trace of him. to Ruth Pegran . Dohon is a native of Marion, N. C., and New York seven years ago.

Zion Church, though not a communicant. Postoffice officials and members of hisIDE have assisted Mrs. Woodard in bringing to locate her missing brother, but she is felt that he has not been able to find him and mourns he had on his person, or that in his hard condition he wandered away and disappeared into one of the witteries of access on either East or West side. But the search is being conducted and hope has not been lost that his activity is still unknown and that Mr. Dohon makes his identity known. He is known in completion, about $5 for each inch in height, and weighs 175 pounds. While he passed several actions in France, he was once the captain of a ship, but he wounded or gassed, but he had suffered from nervousness since his return.

Clubs The proper kind of club organization is a fine thing for young people Not only hire, but necessary for character building and for the broadening and development of the young minds young folks. The contact of young minds in work and play rubs off the rough edges of selfishness and concern; teaches girls the self restraint that makes it possible for dissimilar personalities to associate harmoniously; teaches girls the importance for the other fellow's point of view without which a whisk and successful life is impossible. These things aside from the more obvious advantages of pleasure and intellectual stimulation. There are numberless girls in Harlem without school or club affiliation; girls who are strangers in this big lonely city. The Y.W.C.A. has clubs for all of the thes girls. For girls up to eighteen years of age there is the Girl Reserve Department, which is a school and employed girls. If you really want to have a good time, girls you should join this club. They have regular club meetings which are no end of fun, they have a gree club, too. —they like, they skate, they play basketball, they study, they have toy week they play basketball, week they joined with Girl Reserves all, over the city and gave a demonstration at Central Branch. It was Honor Day and our honor girl was Louise Martin. When you graduate from the Girl Reserves the Heineken Arts Club is waiting for you with open arms. Here you may have your choice of amateur theatricals, music study, a glee club, an orchestra, a literary group, and educational studies of every kind. You may also skate and swim, frolic in a gym, swim and dance. There a life lesson Arts meeting every Thursday night at nine. There is still another group of clubs, the Calendar Clubs, composed of adult members of the "Y". Many lonely people find companionship in these clubs, also, but better than what the members get is what they do for this work, the matrons of old clubs are for the women who hold enough to feel the urge for helping others and they do help, in a large measure, to carry on the work of this Branch. When the women of the Calendar Clubs work in Budget Week, when they strive to bring in new members, when they give time, ill spared, to the activities of the Branch, they are doing so that the girl, Harlem, hopes development, for normal and healthy outlet of youthful spirits and energy. And they are doing it so that the community of Harlem may have the advantage of such service as this Branch is able to give. We are proud of our clubs and our constant endeavor is to increase their usefulness. Come and join one of them! William Ellis is ill in Harlem Hospital. Jas. W.
