The National Negro Weekly (Sponsor To The New York Age) Atlanta, Ga.—According to a decision handed down by Chief Justice R. B. Russell of the Supreme Court, all the Justices concurring, the effort of Dr. A. D. Jones, representing the District Grand Lodge, No. 18, G. U. O. F., of which B. S. Ingraham is district grand master and Benj. J. Davis, district grand secretary, to prevent A. Graves and officers from using the name, titles, etc., of the order, has proven unsuccessful. The petition headed by Ingraham and Davis which seceded from the national order, represented by the Sub-Committee of Management with headquarters in Philadelphia, asked for an injunction against Graves and the men and women associated with him who remained loyal to the parent body. The petition was granted in the County Superior Court, and the Supreme Court action the injunction asked for. The In his opinion, Chief Justice Russell declared that the faction represented by Graves was really entitled to exclusive use of the order's name in Georgia, but that they are only asking to be allowed join use of the name, and they be denied use of the name, such that even before the organization of the Davis-Ingraham organization. No expression has been made by the Davis-Ingraham faction as to what their next step will be.

It was pointed out by Chief Justice Russell that following this action the courts the District Court Lodge headed by agriculture and Davis proceeded to dissociate itself from the parent body the Sub-Committee of Management. The group headed by A. Graves represented a number of local lodges which refused to follow the Davis-Ingraham faction and remained loyal to the national organization. Dobson's Disappearance An Unsettled Mystery Benjamin Dobson, a post office clerk, who lived with his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Woodard at 2340 Seventh avenue, in the Rangelley Court has not been heard from since his singular and unexplained disappearance on January 25. He was due at the Madison Square proffice station 40 go on drunken, but instead he was given 11 oclock at the court of Sird street and Nimh in a condition which indicated that he had been drugged. A large crowd of curiosity seekers surrounded him, but no one was helping him. Finally, Mrs. Helen Pugh of 334 West Sird street, who was out marketing for lunch, was attracted by the crowd and crossing the street found Dobson in an almost helpless condition. She did not know him, nor was there anyone in the crowd acquainted with his identity. Mrs. Pugh, out of a desire to be of assistance, patiently and persistently questioned Dobson as his identity and of abode, finally securing from him his home address. In answer to further questionings, Dobson told Mrs. Pugh that he did not have any money for carfare. Another lady, Mrs. Williams of 423 West Sird street, also attracted by the excitement, sympathetically interested and joined with Mrs. Pugh in the effort to be of service. When Dobson told them he was peniless, Mrs. Williams gave a quarter and Mrs. Pugh added 15 cents, making up the 40 cents he was given to a boy who delivers ice in the neighborhood for his service home. According to this boy's statement, he rode upton on the Elevated with Dobson and walked with him to the Rangleyey Court, corner Seventh avenue and 137th street. When Dobson found himself at his apartment he according to a recorded attributed to the escorted him, he recog- tured his surroundings and was left at the door to find his way alone to his apartment. He has not been seen since, to be positively identified, but there is a report that persons living in the neighborhood noticed two men pulling and pushing a third man across the pavement in front of the Rangekay and getting him into a taxicab. It is started that while they are kicking him to the car, someone against his will, as he appears to be trying to hold back, the men searched carefully through the pocket of his clothes, with what result cannot be stated. Mrs. Woodward, the sister, has conducted a tireless search for some trace of her brother's whereabouts, but without result up to date, the hospitals, prisons and police stations have no records of Dobson and he has been disappeared into thin air. She holds, however, to the hope that he is still alive, but suffering from an attack of anemia that has prevented him from making known his identity. Twelfth Annual Clinic of John A.

Trade School Building For Virginia Institute Effortless, Va.—General Education Board, at its meeting on February 23, contributed the sum of $36,000 to the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute for the purpose of repairing and equipping the recently acquired mill property for the use of a trade school. When the work of reconstruction of the building named is completed, the Institute will have one of the most unique trade buildings on the School. The building will be boarded on the Appomattox river and have the advantage of sufficient water power. The outlook for the Summer School is gratifying. An unusual member of applications have been received. At last the Odd Fellows of New York State are to have a hall in New York City. At the annual memorial service to Peter Oden, founder of the lodge in America, at Bethel A. M. E. Church on Friday, March 4, James F. Adair, president of the Quakers' Buildings Committee of that city, members assembled on February 20 the final payment to the Odd Fellows property at 236-240 West 135th street was made and that work on the new building would be carried at an early date. He also called attention to the fact that the order had made more than 100 per cent in investing in this property at $8,000. It can now be sold for $90,000. The plan of the committee is to erect a six story building, which will contain the offices of the District Grand Lodge, meeting rooms for the various lodges and Households of Roth, a large auditorium, and a motion picture theatre and stores on the first floor. There are 10-odd Fellows and members of the Households of Roth in the state, and each member is responsible for one of the $10 bonds that this purchase is now selling. The committee is incorporated and the title of the property is vested in the District Grand Lodge. Peter Oden, a free Negro living in New York, was a steward on a trans-Atlantic ship, sailing from New York to England. While in England, he was made an Odd Fellow, and in 1843 he was made a Quaker, and in 1848 an order in England to organize lodges in this country. He established the first lodge, Philomathon, 646, in this city from a literary society which he had formed. This lodge is still in existence. There are now thirty-three lodges, and an equal number of Households of Ruth in Greater New York, with a membership of over 8,000. Today the Odd Fellows organizations among Negroes in this country, with a total of 600,800 members. The Rev. William P. Hayes, who delivered the principal address at the anniversary of the founding of the order on Friday night, gave on the power of organization among the race, and declared that with a thorough organization and close cooperation of such a group as the Odd Fellows nothing that it could not accomplish. Continuing the speaker said that such an organization should not only be beneficial to its members but should be a power and inspiration to the community of which it was a part. H. J. Edwards of this city has been the district grand master of the order for the state since 1921. During his tenure within the order than at any other time in its history. He has proved himself a capable and honest official during his first term and is a candidate for reelection at the state convention, which will be held in Rochester in August. The other officers are: Charles P. Ford, Rochester, district deputy grand master; J. J. Henry, New York City, Adair Brooklyn, district grand secretary; Charles J. D.

H. J. Edwards is treasurer of the fund, and he hopes to have this home established in the near future. New York City, which is the first home of the Odd Fellows in this country, should have some kind of memorial to the memory of the founder, of this lodge and the members of the various public, should give their support to those who are trying to build the Peter Orden Hall.

Records Refute Charges Of Jim Crow Nurse Training Class at Harlem Hospital: Not a Segregated Proposition—Negro Nurses and Students on Equal Basis With Other Races. Glaring headlines across the front page of a Harlem contemporary, issue of March 3, charged that "Harlem Hospital has Jim Crow School," the article accompanying carrying the information that a nurse training school for colored nurses had been established as part of a city institution, the Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, and that this "segregated race school" was located at the Harlem Hospital, in the midst of New York's populous colored community. Cobored nurses for Harlem Hospital has long been desired by the race, and the assertion that this desire was to be consumated, but in a way that would antagonize every real member of the race, stirred the community. An investigation, thorough and painstaking, conducted by THE AGE, brings out the fact that there is no real basis for the charge. A representative of this paper, at the hospital, was afforded access to all the records and data, relating to the organization of the nurse training school of the nurses who are taking a postgraduate course, and the group of colored nurses who are now regularly employed on day and night duty. Patient Not Slapped At Harlem Hospital Several weeks ago a report that a colored girl patient at Harlem Hospital had been mistreated by one of the doctors gained considerable credence. It was alleged that the physician had slapped the girl's face and otherwise mishandled her. The story was not carried in THE AGE because confirmatory evidence was lacking, but an apparently was taken advantage of to obtain an investigation into the case. According to available information. Colored Nurses on Duty The facts, taken from the records by the ACE, with the courteous consent of the officials in charge of the school and of the hospital, show that the colored nurses are on duty in the various wards' and divisions in the same capacities as the white nurses, and with the same duties, these nurses and also house not only the white nurses but some of the white officials as well. They all eat in the same dining room, and this applies to the probationary students who are in attendance at the training school. There are 18 white nurses and 10 colored nurses, all graduates, in this group. The group of post-graduate students is composed of twelve students from affiliated institutions taking special courses in eightth grade and are taking post courses. The affiliated students are white, as are six of the post-graduates, twelve of whom are colored. Colored postgraduates have been admitted to the classes of the Harlem institution since June, 1922, and colored nurses have been employed since last summer, also. In their classes and in their ward work, these nurses work side by side with the whites; the assignments usually being two white and two colored nurses, the tour of duty. These nurses occupy the same dormitory floor and eat in the same dining room with the other nurses and officials. School Opened in January The nurse training school was opened on January 3, 1923, with a competent and efficient staff, a superintendent, two regular instructors, and two special lecturers, with an enrollment of twenty colored girls. Nineteen of these girls are now in the school, one having left to be married. In answer to a question asked by the student colored, THE AGE was sold that since a specific need in the Harlem section was being supplied, it was only natural that the material used should be home material. But white students are not barred. It was explained that a training school for nurses operated at Bellvue Hospital was unable to keep its classes filled, the demand being greater than could be supplied by available probationers. The opening of the training school at the Harlem Hospital is in response to the demand for eight ball for colored nurses in an institution operating in the midst of a race community, and naturally the largest opportunity is being given members of the race. The charge that white nurses were excluded from the classes and quarters of the colored students is without basis of fact, declare the hospital authorities. When the school was opened, the fourth floor of the building was given to the probationers, and several ball floor were given on the third floor, where a number of the regular nurses, white, have their rooms, and where one or more of the officials of the hospital occupy suites. Hospital Doctor Not Guilty. Another statement, saying that Mrs. Ada Joiner of Washington, erroneously referred to as a member of the student school, had been immolated against diptheria by one of the young physicians of the hospital, but later had conceived the Willard Parker Hospital, the additional charge was that Mrs. Joiner was forced, very thinly clad, to expose herself so the cold in being taken to the ambulance which conveyed her to the Willard Parker hospital. The true facts, shown by Hirlem Hospital records, are that Mrs. Joiner is not a student of the training school, but has been admitted to a postgraduate course. The diptheria anti-toxin was administered by one of the most skilled surgeons attached to the Board of Health, the man, in fact, who is credited with discovery of the treatment. No hospital physician was concerned in the immolation. When she was removed, she was specially prepared for the trip by the ambulance attendants, being poisoned, guarded, wrapped in heavy blankets, and a head covering furnished. A doctor and nurse were in constant attendance: Nogro Physicians on Star Mrs. Joiner is the third nurse from Harlem Hospital to be taken to the Willard Farker Hospital, the others being white. That the race is entitled to recognition in the operation of Harlem Hospital, an auxiliary of Behrwur, an institution maintained and supported by the city's police officers shown by the fact that colored physicians and dentists are members of the hospital staff. At present, only white nurses are in charge of words, but in Best Edited—Best Known Rate Charges Grow Nurse School Theem Hospital Not a Segregated to Nurses and Students on With Other Races. the front page of a Harlem contem- charged that "Harlem Hospital has Jim companying carrying the information for colored nurses had been establis- hon, the Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, the school" was located at the Harlem New York's populous colored community. Patient Not Slapped At Harlem Hospital Several weeks ago a report that a colored girl patient at Harlem Hospital had mistreated by one of the doctors gained considerable credence. It was alleged that the physician had slapped the girl's face and otherwise mishandled her. The story was not carried in THE AGE because confirmatory evidence was lacking, but an opportunity was taken advantage of to make an investigation into the case. According to available information, the girl was treated at the hospital for a dangerous throat affection, wind and voice being cut off, tracheotomy having to be performed. Instead of misinformed the patients, THE AGE is informed the doctors in the institution interested in the case, and knowing that the girl was without means or friends who were interested, frequently gave her money for purchase of such delicacies as were not always on the hospital menu. Records at the hospital show that the girl finally became violent and uncontrollable and had to be transferred to the psychopathic ward at Believeu. She was later pronounced cured and discharged from that institution. response to a question concerning this, THE AGE was told that there is every reason to believe that as the nurse was in the hospital, she was in the shape of finished products, will follow as a natural result that colored nurses will step into positions of responsibility an authority. The following young women are members of the probationary class at this time: Gertrude Lue, Lorene Vassell, Dorothy Murray, Lucy Washington, Ella Gilchrist, Gladys England, Adelaide Petaway, Amber Myers, Ilma Chancher, Lolliie Garrett, Edith Newcoff, Ruth King, Helen Hickey, Major, Beryl Paul, Marjaryne Powell, Alberta Mitchell, Michael Haughey, Laura Parker, Two are from Alabama, one from Florida, one from California, two from North Carolina, one from Pennsylvania, five from New York and four from New Jersey. TWO CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES IN HARLEM ARRANGE TO COMBINE Grace and Harlem Churches Agree on Merger, With Rev. Garner, Pastor. Congregationalists of Harlem have decided to centralize their forces and energy by combining the two congregations which have recently been working together in this action. Rev. A. P. Miller of Jersey City, acting pastor, and the Grace Congregational Church, Rev. A. C. Garner, pastor. The Harlem church has long been a part of Harlem's religious endeavor, the regular pastorate being held by the Rev. W. S. Holder, now on special leave of absence, traveling in South America. During his absence, the Rev. Dr. Miller, and other ministers, have been supplying the pastorate for the Grace Church is of recent development, the work being started some time ago by the Rev. Dr. A. C. Garner, who came to New York from Washington, D. C., where he pastored for a number of years the Plymouth Congregational Church. The merger was decided upon at meetings held by the respective memberships on Monday night, the merger was decided upon by membership of Grace Church, and 94 per cent of Harlem Church, present and voting on the proposition. The votes were practically unanimous. The combined congregations will be pastored by Dr. Garner, and plans are being laid for a house of worship. For the present, week-night meetings will be held in the building used by the Harlem congregation with the 1961 W. S. Holder Sunday meetings will be at the Y. W. C. A. auditorium, West 137th street, used since its organization by the Grace Church. Dr. Miller, who is practically on the retired list, worked in hearty cooperation with Dr. Garner in bringing about the consolidation. John S. Brown, jr., of 205 West 139th street, a teacher at P. S. 147, is been appointed by Smith as deputy commissioner of the New York State Veteran's Relief Committee. He is the first colored man to be appointed to a similar position, and will have his headquarters at 2350 Seventh avenue. He is a graduate of Brown University. To Talk. About Negro At Wellesley College James Weldon Johnson, contributing editor of The New York Age, space at Wellesley College, Wellesley, Mass., on Tuesday night, March 6, having as his subject, "The Creative Genius of theatrical Mr. Johnson is probably the first colored man invited to speak at this famous New England institution of learning for women.

GARGAN PAYS HIGH COMPLIMENT TO COLORED CITIZENRY under of 38th Pre Harlem Has Little lessness. Police Official Prefers Harlem Station to any Other in the City. Over 150,000 Negroes live in Harlem, the largest race group to be found in a given area in the world. The bulk of these, numbering 135,000, are in the 38th Police Precinct, which according to Capt. Patrick F. Gargan, has a record for observance of law and order that compares favorably with any community having in its midst a similar population in point of numbers. In enthusiastically discussing with a representative of The Ascend the absence of lawlessness in his precinct, Captain Gargan pointed out that most of the residents were wage-earners with small incomes, but whose expenses were comparatively large. Yet few resorted to theft and other forms of crime to get money. Captain Gargan thinks there are many places of worship in the 38th Police Precinct in any other section of New York. Between 130th street and the Harlem River and between Fifth and St. Nicholas avenues there are sixty-five, of which only five are white. Places of Entertainment Thirteen dance, halls and cabaret around in the precinct, the majority being conducted and patronized by Negroes. Vulgar language is taboo in these places of entertainment and a female is not permitted to enter them. Two clocks in the morning is the closing hour set by the police. Most of the managers obey this rule, although there are a few who have to be reprimanded for not living up to regulations prescribed by the police. "No young man or woman can stay up after 2 o'clock in the morning and then report to work, time in good position and certain conditions. Captain Gargan's argument in advocacy of an early closing. Race relations in New York are usually pleasant; and Captain Gargan says this much to be desired condition is reflected in the 30th Police Proctect, where of the 200,000 inhabitants 65,000 members of both races manifest a spirit of tolerance that is essential for the well-being of all. Captain Gargan believes the Negro tenant is as a whole the best tenant of any racial group, which statement is substantiated by court records, showing that Negroes are taken to court less by landlords or non-paying tenants than by court in a landlord and tenant case, usually it is a complaining witness. Welfare Workers Render Service The 38th Precinct Police Station is on 38th street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues. Scores of disputes age amicably adjusted daily, in the station by social welfare workers, rendering a big service to principals in controversies and keeping the machinery of the courts from being further clogged. There was a time when the police were criticised for clubbing prisoners being taken to the 38th Precinct Station, but that day has passed. The police are warned not to hit a prisoner, and friends of those arrested are permitted to enter the station and secure any desired information when an arrest is made. Captain Gargan has been a member of the New York Police Department forty-one years and ten months. For quite a period he served as instructor in the training school of rookies. Police Officer Samuel Battle, the first colored man appointed on the force in New York, taught his instructor under him. On the thirty odd Negroes now on the local police force nineteen are attached to the 38th Precinct. They arrest colored people who violate the law as readily as white people. "The Negro is a good loser," said Captain Gargan. "He can gamble away his last penny and then go home smiling. Others would be quarrelsome and want to fight. I have been in charge of the precinct a little over a year. Sometimes I stand off and watch person and object if he is sometimes under trying conditions, and to myself: 'What a God-given trait to possess!' Captain Gargan may he would rather be commanding officer in Harlem than any other precinct in Greater New York. Commanded To Be Quiet Starrreceiver. Did Faint Mrs. Anna Sapin, proprietor of a grocery store at 2 West, 130th street, charges that four Negroes entered her store on March 2 and frightened her so with a command to keep still, that she obeyed them by fainting. When she recovered she obtained a loan to be issued 150 hours to cash register, then she fainted again. She finally recovered sufficiently to notify the West 130th street station policemen, but the alleged robbers disappeared. She wore a gray dressfit, a blue silk sweater, blue silk skirt, and had a green bathing cap. She gave no concern for her attempted suicide.

Shaw, one of the leading and most highly respected colored men in Laurinburg and Scotland County, died at his home here last week. He was in his sixty-third year and was highly thought of by both white and colored because of his straightforwardness and Christian integrity. He accumulated much of this world's goods and owned the best residence of any member of his race in the county. He served for 18 years as president of the trustee obard of the Laurinburg Normal and Industrial Institute. Mr. Shaw was a member of the Galilee M. E. Church here and his funeral was the first to be held in the new $40,000 edifice to which he gave largely within the past three years. More than 3,000 persons attended the funeral. Dr. N. J. Bass, pastor, officiated, assisted by minister of the town. The Laurinburg Institute quartet and Glee Club rendered several selections and the M. E. choir sang at the services. Mr. Shaw is survived by his wife, Rosa, and two sisters, all residents of this city. Resolutions were read by E. M. McDuffe, principal of Laurinburg N. & J. Institute, which said in part: "Murdock L. Shaw was a great lover of education and had served as president of the trustee board of the Laurinburg Normal and Industrial Institute since its inception eighteen years ago. So much has he attached to his religion and education that one of his last requests was that he he given a simple burial so that should anything be left, it could be given to the school and church he loved best. His connection with us has always been an inspiration and a benediction. His services were of the highest order; his clarity of vision and straight-forward dealings compelled recognition and respect and his opinion ever accepted without question "Whereas, in the death of Murdock L. Shaw, the farmers have lost a great leader the State a good citizen, the school a loyal supporter, the wife a loving husband, the church a Christian character; therefore be it "Resolved. That we mourn the loss of our fellowman, friend and brother and will cherish 'his memory in our hearts for the many qualities of head and heart and for the many virtues which endeard him to us all."

Then there will be no need of juvenile courts, but the majority of those professing to lead are busy building beautiful homes for themselves and buying beautiful automobiles while they fool fools about hell fire for a living. "The Universal Negro Improvement Association is our church, our club house, our theatre, our fraternal order and our school and we will never forsake it while we live; neither will our men forsake it, but fear has crept into our hearts because of the police's continued interference with our meetings. We are afraid that some night we may have serious trouble. On one hand we hear of members and friends speaking of leaving New Orleans to make their homes elsewhere. Therefore we appeal to you to read our constitution that you may know what our organization stands for.

"We are not members of the Negro 400 of New Orleans, which is composed of that class who are spending their time imitating the rich whites, with card parties, eating parties and studying Spanish so as to be able to pass for anything but a Negro, thereby getting a chance to associate with you. We are not ashamed of the race to which we belong and we feel sure that God made black skin and kinky hair because He desired to express Himself in that type as well as in any other. "We are accused of being implicated in the murder of J. W. H. Eason, who was fatally shot in this city on the night of January 1, 1923. Of this we can truthfully say, we know nothing. We do know, however, that Mr. Eason was a handsome, intelligent, money-spending woman chaser. If he could speak now, no doubt he would tell the world that New Orleans is a dangerous place for strangers to indulge in that kind of a game." "Therefore, may we expect you at our meeting on Sunday night with a message of peace, and protection that we may feel safe to hold our meeting in New Orleans, La.

Cohen's Confirmation. United States Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen of New Jersey was one of the number who failed of reelection and so concluded his term of office with the ending of the 67th Congress on March 4, 1923. It was characteristic of Senator Frelinghuysen that he was one of the most active supporters of the effort to secure confirmation for President Harding's appointment of Walter L. Cohen of New Orleans, to comptroller of customs at the port of New Orleans. The Louisiana senators, Randdell and Broussard, used senatorial precedent and urged that Mr. Cohen was personally objectionable to them. They objected to state the reason for their personal objection but senators who questioned the Louisiana men declared that their attitude was based entirely on the fact that Mr. Cohen was colored. This being the case, various senators declared that they would vote for Cohen's confirmation, regardless of the personal objection privilege claimed by the Louisiana senators, and this determination was voiced by Senator Frelinghuysen in the following words: "I do, not give a d—for Louisiana senators who would put the Republican party in hell much less out of power, and we are going to confirm Cohen. He deserves it. Why should he be treated that way simply because he is a colored man?" On March 4, prior to final adjournment of the U. S. Congress, the New Jersey Senator made his final speech to the Senate. He spoke in part as follows: "Mr. President: In a short time, the 67th Congress will adjourn and many of us will retire from the Senate. I am one of those whose service will end. I cannot complete my term without giving some expression of the feelings of friendship I have for those with whom I have served during the eventful six years which have passed. "It was the ambition of my life to represent my State in the United States Senate. It is the highest honor that can be granted to anyone. My ambition to represent New Jersey has been fulfilled and I have been privileged to sit in the Senate during the most eventful period in the country's history. It was also my ambition to represent my State as acceptably and capably as the three Senators of my name and family who have preceded me in this body. "I make no boast of any political virtue but I have always felt it a duty to stand for clean politics, for constructive measures, for helpful service and right rather than political expediency." "Although the verdict of the majority of the voters of my State has ended my commission to serve New Jersey, I feel that I can retire with the consciousness that I have done my best and have tried to serve with sincerity of purpose and have lived up to the standards in which I believe. As I go forth again as a private citizen, I know that I have the respect of my constituency, even if they did not all vote for me. "I have tried, in my representation, not to be provincial, but to be a Senator of the United States in its broadest sense. I come from a section of the country which is one of industrial greatness and financial strength. I have tried, however, to be an American Senator without sectional prejudice or partisan rancor. In my effort to promote the welfare of every section of the country, I have, I trust, displayed broadness of vision and served in the sentiment and spirit which inspired Pastor Smith when he wrote, 'My country, 'tis of thee, of thee, I sine.' "I was brought up to believe in the Constitution of the United States, strict obedience to law, the Dutch Reformed Church, and the Republican Party. Modern statesmanship seems to have parted somewhat from these conservative principles and we now face the extremist in our legislative halls, who proposes patent medicines to cure all theills of this stormy period. Some seem to believe that legislation can be made the panacea for all theills of the body politic, but I adhere to the Constitution, to its principles, and shall go守ine, cling to that old faith. I refuse to be parted from the old moorings and while it may be called a narrow minded vision by some, to preserve this attitude of faith in constitutional government, I prefer it." -- LOCK -- ONE INH EVERY MONTH OREG INH COLLEGE OREG GLOSSINE Oreus all soap brewish, grows thick, glossy and one inch a month, each box by mail.

LOUIS, MO. Poro Corner NAMB OF W. L. COHEN FOR NAVAL OFFICER REJECTED BY SENATE Senator Ransdell Fought Confirmation on Basis of Personal Objection. (Sponsor To The New York Age) New Orleans, La.—According to a dis- was written Cohen's nomination has been rejected 35 to 27, according to advice received here from Washington. New Irleahs, La.—According to a dispatch to the Times-Picayune of Wednesday morning, February 27, Senator Ransdell of Louisiana opposing the confirmation of the appointment of Walter L. Cohen, Negro leader of the Republican party in Louisiana to the position of Comprroller of Customs, stated to the Senat- in executive session Tuesday night that Cohen was "personally offensive" to him. According to the same dispatch Republican members asked Mr. Ransdell for the particulars of the offense, and that the executive session voted 34 to 30 to adjourn and leave the question open for consideration at the next executive session of the Senate, and thus avoided a deciding vote on the nomination. Senator Ransdell's resort to the use of the power of this personally objectifiable" means of accomplishing the defeat of a man who actually never in his life came even near to personally offering him any offense or insult, is past understanding when it is taken in consideration that a Senator occupies the position of a gentleman of probity and integrity and does not belong in the class of men who have no regard for the virtue of honesty and truth. Mr. Ransdell can give no particulars of the occasion or of time or of circumstances when Walter L. Cohen slandered or attempted to slander or culminate him in a personal, private or public way, for the simple fact that Cohen never did do it. If Cohen is personally offensive to him because he is not a white man and is classed as a Negro, every Negro in Louisiana would be personally offensive to Mr. Ransdell also. And it would be clear that the Senator's objection is to apply to all Negroes, an objection which his oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the United States, and the amendments thereof forbids him to employ for the purpose of discriminating against citizens of the United States on account of race or color, creed or previous conditions of sarcity. In applying his personal objection to Mr. Cohen, Senator Ransdell perhaps tries to avoid the color or race question and the effect of sit upon his official oath which he dares not to openly violate. This is a use of subterfuge or camouflage that is unpardonable and reprehensible to say the least of it, and if it defeats Mr. Cohen, the president ought to be requested to name another Negro for the position and the Republican party in power in Congress brought to the point where it will have to show, whether or not its attitude toward the Negro is the same as that of Mr. Ransdell. It cannot be that the Republican party, after the slump its majority suffered last November, will, by failing to do its duty toward the Negro, further displease the Negro vote of the country by not standing up for simple justice for the race of people which has stood by it. WAYNE, PA. Wayne, Pa.—Sunday, March 4, morning service at the Second Baptist Church of Wayne was well attended.

RACE LEADERSHIP CRITICIZED RACE LEADERSHIP CRITICIZED The February number of Current History, published by the New York Times Company, contained an article entitled, "The New Negro Faces America," by Erie D'Walrond, in which the leadership of the race is criticized as "individual." The leaders of the race in the United States are named as Mo- tion Davis and Marcus Garvey, acco- ring to the solution of this writer. His class of the personality and leading of the three individuals mentioned may be gathered from the following extract from the article. On the one hand, is the old-style leadership of Buckley T. Washington's successor, Manol Robert Montan, principal of Tuskegee, who believes, like Christ, in "Naming the other check" and in a maximum of industrial efficiency. On the other hand is the leadership of W. E. B. Dutts, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, whose idea of salvation is in an alternative political representation at Lowering Board and shoulders at the University of Maryland. Martin President General University of Maryland Negro Employment Association of African Com His distinguished career has made importance to the faculty named and the organization that leadership tenets to the task of authoritative information and balanced judgement displayed in the course from which this quotation is made. White Dr. Moton has continued with social success the work of his professors. Dr. Washington is training the pandas as well as the beasts of the race in industrial efficiency, his best friends cannot claim for him the Christ-like attitude attributed to him. He has used his best efforts to promote better relations between the two races in the South and to secure for the Negro profession all such relations. In a recent declaration on his subject, issued in the Columbia State, Dr. Moton was represented as saying The Negro is the institution in operation by the deaf, the blind, and the intellect, so to graduation and institution which vocation sometimes carries with it. To this declaration in the order of the State reported that "we believe that white son of the better sort can and do in principle act." A to Dr. Dulac and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People "adequate political representation" should stand for but a small part of the program it has undertaken for fighting for the betterment of the racial tills. Dr. Dubois as a literary grimoire, a unique place in the leadership of Grace, which is not contended to "poes and simpression or morbid satire" as Mr. Watson intimates. While Mr. Garvey has undoubtedly exercised some of the attributes of leader-in-fighting up a personal following that has blindly swallowed his impassioned scheme for redeeming Africa and other purposes, for which they have put in the cold cash, his movement seems to be tortering toward a fall. The term of "megalomaniac" which is applied to him by Mr. Walton, may explain his failure to achieve any substantial success. The leadership which counts for the upbringing and development of the race must be a constructive character, which creates strong men and women trained and qualified to be of service to themselves and to others. When this crucial test is applied to the many so-called leaders who starred on the scene and off against it, it will be seen that the quality of leadership is rarely found and not always recognized by the impartial observer. For the accomplishment of reasonable results through safe and some methods, we believe that the masses of the race rely upon such men as Dr. Moton. A STERILE CONGRESS The session of Congress which closed last Sunday was more remarkable for its sins of omission than for its good deeds performed. The most important of legislation to its credit were the measures ratifying the funding of the British debt and providing for rural credit. This session was called particularly to pass upon President Harding's pheme measure, the ship subsidy bill. But it did not go on to a vote upon that measure. It allowed it to be talked to death like the Dyer anti-lynching bill. This session of Congress was famous mainly for its filibusters and its failure to act on the many important questions brought before it. Among the things the Congress failed to do, as enumerated by the staff correspondent of the New York Evening Mail, were the following: The last two sessions did nothing in regard to the President's desire that the United States become a member of the international court. They did nothing on Senator Borah's plea for an economic conference. They made no modification in the immigration law, although the committees of both the House and the Senate through such modifications desirable. They did nothing in regard to the final disposition of Muscle Shoals, giving Henry Ford neither a positive nor a negative answer on his offer. They did nothing in regard to a constitutional amendment limiting on prohibiting child labor, though the committees of both houses favorably reported out textually, identical bills. They did nothing in regard to the proposed constitutional amendment favorably reported by the Senate judiciary committee for amending the Constitution hereafter by popular referendum. They made nothing but minor technical changes in the tax laws. They passed no legislation modifying the railroad act of 1920, nor did they even vote to hold an investigation during the recess. They did nothing in regard to the reorganization of federal departments. They did nothing on radio control. They took no vote for or against the fabrics lining bill, the current bill to the motion on the tax-exempt act. They did nothing in regard to the country's coal problem. They simply referred the proposed $5,000,000 Liberian loan back to committee. The House passed a constitutional amendment to prohibit the further issue of tax-exempt securities, but no action was taken by the Senate. The Senate passed a constitutional amendment to set forward the inauguration of the new President and the meeting of the new Congress to the January following election, but no action was taken by the House. All in all, the record seems to have justified the popular verdict of "unprofitable public servants," passed upon many of these lawmakers at the election last November. The question is whether their successors will do any better. SENATORIAL COURTESY The fact that the nomination of Walter Cohen to the position of Commissioner of Customs at New Orleans failed of confirmation by the Senate is to be attributed to the false doctrine of Senatorial courtesy. Mr. Cohen's qualifications for the office were undisputed and President Harding's nomination was justified by reasons of personal fitness and political service. The opposition raised by the Democratic Senators from Louisiana was neither personal nor political, but was based solely on the color of the candidate. For the Republican majority of the Senate to accede to the demands of senatorial courtesy by permitting the rejection of a daily qualified appointment for such a reason was neither just nor consistent. It was a deliberate dissatisfaction of party principles and a flagrant act of discontent to the President, whose designation they rejected. Fortunately, the President can signify his sentiments in the matter by giving Mr. Cohen a recess appointment, which will continue him in office until his name can again be submitted to the Senate. With the changes made by the last election in the composition of the upper house, its traditional courtesy may be seasoned by consistency and courage. There was a case in a West Virginia court last month, which showed that the phrase "equality before the law," is not always an empty sound. A news dispatch from Beckley, W. Va., printed in the Des Moines Bystander, said: Fines of $25 were imposed upon Charles Pack and John Breckner, of this place, following their refusal to sit upon a mixed jury. During the trial of Thomas Harris, charged with selling moonshine, Pack and Harris were impugned, but when they were declaimed, he did not sit on the case because a colored man had been called into the jury box. The court then excused them and took the matter under advisement. On the following day she two men were called before the court and were fined $25 each for contempt. It is the first instance of the kind known in this state. As an object lesson of the fundamental fact that justice should be blind to color or condition, on the part of those concerned in its administration, the judge exercised a wise discretion in defining and penalizing the offence. The West End News, published at Frederiksted, Virgin Islands, printed the following news item: Governor E. Mont Relly of Porto Rico got own ribs broken in a motor accident in Kansas City recently. When the news reached Porto Rico and was thrashed on the screen of a local moving picture theatre, it is said the audience cheered. No wonder Governor Reilly finally resigned, after he returned to Porto Rico and learned of the touching tribute paid to his misfortune. Evidently the Governor and the people of the island were temperamentally incompatible. Their separation was invisible. A headliner in a Western paper described the annual meeting of the National Negro Press Association, held at Nashville, as "a roaring success." Evidently the literary lions realized what was expected of them. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1925. VIEWS and REVIEWS By James Weidon Johnson, Contributing Editor. GOVERNMENT BY FILIBUSTER. view of what it did and of what it left under point out how in this Congress there was cause of the American legislative system whether as a safeguard or a danger, accorded to legislation by filibuster. Twice during congress the filibuster was resorted to in have manner. When an effort was made to-Lynching Bill for consideration, a group of senators, by tactics of delay, succeeded in and then came the Ship Subsidy Bill, the measure, backed by all of the pressure at hand of consideration because of the fact that charger than the one referred to above, but,—blocked its consideration by the use of a serious question as to what sort of results we are to have legislation by filibuster. It is in practice minorities in legislative bodies. They should be safeguarded against being urged by ruthless majorities, but it is neither on sense that the conditions should be revered should be absolutely powerless and helper minorities. We not yet been able to devise any better than government by majorities. We must work out a fairer and more satisfactory present time we have not done so. Why, we given the power to nullify and absolutize minorities? More, there is the old axiom that majorities in a general and loose statement this is true, and intrenched error has generally been in reality, a minority sometimes consisting of a history has over and again proved that progress tend upon safeguarding the rights of minorities establish their ideas. But our legislativeologies. The minorities there are not made depository of some great idea or ideal in use. Our legislative bodies are made up of one crowd about as good, or as bad, as filibusters which we have observed there is part of minorities for some great fundamentally a scrap for political advantage. becomes the business of the minority to put to any time it is able to do so, and for the sole easier to win the offices in the next election as to whether or not we can have one for the best interest of the whole country for sections, so long as we are subject to. The Sixty-seventh Congress died on March 4. Without going into a review of what it did and of what it left undone, it may be well to point out how in this Congress there was illustrated a certain phase of the American legislative system which may be regarded either as a safeguard or a danger, accordingly as you look at it. We refer to legislation by filibuster. Twice during the Sixty-seventh Congress the filibuster was resorted to in a spectacular and effective manner. When an effort was made to bring up the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill for consideration, a group of less than a score of senators, by tactics of delay, succeeded in blocking such action. And then came the Ship Subsidy Bill, the President's own pet measure, backed by all of the pressure at his command. Yet it failed of consideration because of the fact that a group of senators—larger than the one referred to above, but, nevertheless, a minority—blocked its consideration by the use of filibustering tactics. It is a serious question as to what sort of results we are going to get if we are to have legislation by filibuster. It is true that in theory and in practice minorities in legislative bodies should be protected. They should be safeguarded against being gagged and steam-rollered by ruthless majorities, but it is neither fair play nor common sense that the conditions should be reversed and that majorities should be absolutely powerless and helpless before determined minorities. We have not yet been able to devise any better working political system than government by majorities. We may some day be able to work out a fairer and more satisfactory plan, but up to the present time we have not done so. Why, then, should minorities be given the power to nullify and absolutely defeat the will of majorities? Of course, there is the old axiom that majorities are always wrong. As a general and loose statement this is true. The sword against old and intrenched error has generally been in the hands of a minority, a minority sometimes consisting of one solitary man. History has over and again proved that progress and civilization depend upon safeguarding the rights of minorities to express and establish their ideas. But our legislative bodies offer no such analogies. The minorities there are not made up of men who are the depositories of some great idea or ideal for the common welfare. Our legislative bodies are made up of two crowds of politicians, one crowd about as good, or as bad, as the other. In the filibusters which we have observed there has been no fight on the part of minorities for some great fundamental truth or cause, but merely a scrap for political advantage. Under our system it becomes the business of the minority to put the majority in a hole any time it is able to do so, and for the sole purpose of making it easier to win the offices in the next election. It is a serious question as to whether or not we can have constructive legislation for the best interest of the whole country, regardless of politics or sections, so long as we are subject to government by filibuster.

At five words contain more thought than one put into all the rest of his column-long The Atlanta "Constitution" is still devoting its editorial columns to articles designed to persuade the Negro that for him to leave the South will be some sort of apostasy. In a recent article it made much of a story which has been carried in all of the white Southern papers about the return to the South of a colored man named Robert White and the experiences which he related. White is reported to have returned to Greenwood, S. C., with the corpse of his mother who had died of pneumonia in Washington, and to have related many incidents of suffering on the part of Negroes from diseases and the rigors of the northern winter. Why any great importance should be attached to the fact that this old colored lady died of pneumonia in Washington it is hard to understand. During the last few months not only a good number of Negroes in the North have died from pneumonia, but a very great number of well-to-do and prominent white people were unable to escape the disease. Only a few weeks ago a Prince, a man whose grandfather had been King of Portugal, died of pneumonia in New York City, in spite of all that the most advanced medical science could do to save him. White's interview as given out from Greenwood contained this statement: "There ain't nothin' good up there and there's nothin' at all there except hard work." We think this statement contains the greater part of all of Mr. White's dissatisfaction with the North. If he has a dislike for hard work, it is entirely true that the North is not the place for him. The "Constitution" takes up an entire column in reiterating the thought that the Negro belongs in the South, that there he is among his best friends, and there he can best succeed. It goes over all the old ground which is so familiar to every intelligent Negro. But the very last words in the "Constitution's" sermon on the heavenly delights for the Negro in the South read as follows: "Most of them (the Negroes) are law-abiding, and with fair community treatment will remain restful and contented and fill creditable places in the working trades that nature intended for them." These last five words contain more thought than the "Constitution" editor put into all the rest of his column-long article.

Ford in manufacturing and Edison in a News-Scimitar" editor wished to give a s A recent issue of the "News-Scimitar" of Memphis, Tenn., contained a full-column editorial entitled "Father, Son, Grandson." It was an eloquent article on America as the land of opportunity, but it wound up with a curious twist which makes one wonder about the logical processes by which the writer reached his conclusions. The article opened up with the following sentence: "The rise of a youth from poverty and obscurity to eminence and glory, the overcoming of handicaps, is always a thrilling story." The article then went on to list some of the names of Americans who overcame the handicaps of their earlier lives. He gave the names of Lincoln and Jackson in politics. A. T. Stewart and Marshall Field in business, Ford in manufacturing and Edison in science. But the "News-Scimitar" editor wished to give a still more striking example and he introduced this example by saying, "But we recall one case only where three generations of the same family, father, son and grandson, trod all three the same rough and rocky road to success and fame." He then proceeded to sketch the stories of the three Alexandre Dumas—first, Alexandre Dumas, the grandfather, son of a French marquis and a Negro slave woman of the West Indies named Dumas. He related how the elder Dumas enlisted as a soldier in the French cavalry and fought through the Revolution and most of the Napoleonic wars; how he rose, in spite of illigitimate birth and Negro blood, by sheer courage and fighting ability, to the rank of general; how he fought actively in thirty-nine major battles and innumerable skirmishes; and how he died covered with decorations and glory, without a cent and leaving a four-year-old son, Alexandre. The Memphis editor then went on to relate the story of Alexandre Dumas the second; how he made his way like his famous father, unaided; how a charitable priest taught him his three "R's"; how he devoured every book he could lay his hands on; how at twenty-one he went to Paris and obtained a governmental clerkship at twenty dollars a month; how he began to write; and how he finally became the greatest romancer of France, and indeed, of the world, being the author of "The Three Musketeers," "Twenty Years After," and "The Count of Monte Cristo," perhaps the most widely read novels ever written. The "News-Scimitar" editor, in concluding the sketch about Alexandre Dumas 2nd, recited the fact that the great romancer was the author of twelve hundred books, mostly novels, and that probably no writer ever earned as much by his pen; that, nevertheless, he died penniless and in debt, leaving a son named Alexandre. Then followed the story of Alexandre Dumas 3rd. The writer told how he had to make his own way as much as his father and grandfather had done; how he made it just as thoroughly and just as brilliantly as they did; how for forty years he was the great dramatist of Paris; how all the great actos and actresses of France fought to play the parts he created; how an ocean of tears has been shed over his "Camille" and how that play holds the boards today in undiminished popularity. Undoubtedly the carers of the three Dumas were unique in the history of the world. We recall no other instance in which three generations, in a direct line, grandfather, father and son, have all achieved so remarkable a degree of national fame. The Memphis editor might have gone to state how France has erected in one of the public squares of Paris a great monument in bronze to these three illustrious sons of hers, but perhaps he felt that the monuments they had built for themselves were far greater than any that their fellow countrymen might build for them. And now comes the peculiar twist with which the editor of the "News-Scimitar" ended this most interesting article. The last paragraph of his editorial read as follows: "This country of America is the real land of opportunity. There are a hundred opportunities in America to one in France. There are a thousand opportunities today to one in the days of any of those remarkable men. If, handicapped by poverty, illegitimacy and African blood, they rose to fame and immortality, what excuse is there for the American youth in this land of opportunity to whine a young man has no chance?" It is evident from the paragraph quoted above that the Memphis editor wished to convey his message exclusively to the white youth of America; but is it not curious that he should have picked out as examples for their encouragement the careers and achievements of three great men of African blood? But it is still more curious that it did not strike the editor of the "News-Scimitar" that, although the proclaims America as the real land of opportunity," the careers of the three Dumas would have been impossible in this country. He exhorted the white youth of America that if they worked with determination and persistence they might rise to the heights which were reached by three French Negroes; but it appears to us he would have expressed greater faith in this country as the land of real opportunity is he could have said to its Negro youth, "America offers to you as great opportunities as France offered to the three Dumas." EXIT JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS John Sharp Williams has retired from public life. For many years he represented the white people and misrepresented the colored people of Mississippi in the Halls of Congress. His chief claim to statesmanship was the brazen exhibition of contempt and utter disregard for the Constitution of the United States. During the thirty odd years he sat in the Senate and House of Representatives "keeping the Negro down" was his principal mission. Coming from a State where the coloured inhabitants outnumber the white, John Harp Williams' presence as a legislator in the capital of the nation was the hoax of the times on representative government. When the Williamsses and Harrisons fed in a fight to oust the Newberys for spending more for election expenses than allowed by law, the spectacle gives one a feeling akin to sea-sickness. Although illegally holding office they are the loudest, most blatant and oblivious in demanding the expulsion of a colleague who is more rightfully entitled to a seat in the Senate than they. Senator Williams did not take his departure from home in a blaze of glory we are told by press dispatches. After hobbing with an ex-bartender, an old orcy of pre-Volstead days, he slinked away. So far as the twelve million Negroes of the nation are concerned, his method of departure was quite fitting. Although growing old and feeble John Sharp Williams' heart has not mellowed nor has the colorphobia with which he has been afflicted for years lessened. Upon his return to Mississippi he issued a message addressed "To the People of Mississippi." He asked his people "to cherish ideals of race." This appeal was being made to white people only, although they are the minority numerically in the State. Could misrepresentation of the Negro in the Soudi be more patent? John Sharp Williams has left Washington, D. C., for good, and will spend the remainder of his days on his Mississippi plantation, until he makes his next and final exit. He may not live to see the reaction of his nefarious endeavors to prevent "Negro domination," but before he goes to his just reward the thought that the real progress of a people can be stopped only temporarily, it very likely to haunt him. HEALTH CONDITIONS SOUTH The fact that health conditions among Negroes was the subject of discussion at a meeting of prominent white citizens of Birmingham, Ala., was given conspicuous place on the first page of the Birmingham Reporter, a Negro week- ly, which emphasized the importance of the subject, in an editorial note. Among other things it was said: While this address was delivered to an exclusive gathering of white men, it is equally important: that the Negroes themselves would know the condition and use every precaution in safe-guarding against the many ravages of diseases to which we are such easy prey. Child-life among the Negro race is not being given the attention that the Negroes themselves are able to give and when we present facts as are handed out by Dr. Snyder, an expert in these matters, we should grow more determined and interested in self-defense, race pride and character-building. Such expressions should be heeded and the Editor of this publication believes that when the message is sufficiently gotten around the Negro people will become more concerned and those agencies that are working for the interest of humanity will be fully awakened that greater service may be done for the unfortunate and needy among us. Dr. Snyder's statements were based on a hospital and dispensary experience of many years, during which period he had the opportunity to observe and study a large number of the children of the race. The conclusions arrived at by him were summarized as follows: The number of Negro mothers unable to nurse their infants is rapidly increasing; (2) malnutrition is universal among the artificially fed Negro infants; (3) of the splendidly nourished nursing Negro infants seen in the earlier months, an increasing number begin about the fifth month to cease a lusty gain, and about the sixth month begin to lose weight; (4) malnutrition is general among Negro children between the first and second year; (5) malnutrition is common among older Negro children. If these conclusions are correct, a few more years and the Negro race in the South will be so weakened that it will badly deteriorate because of its low resistance to disease. Dr. Snyder told his hearers that it was time for the white race to lay aside its perverse obstinacy and foolish sensitiveness and to help in this matter. He urged that they look matters in the face, not in the name of philanthropy or humanitarianism, but for the sake of their own industrial, moral and health assurance. He made an earnest plea for better housing by the enactment of laws preventing the building of grouped houses unit for habitations; also for laws to forbidding the extortion of exchabrant rates of interest on borrowed money; and stringently regulating the practice of midwifery. According to the report reproduced from the Birmingham News, the discussion following Dr. Snyder's talk was equally interesting. Stores were sold of users who loaned Negroes collected $85, and still held the times in debt to the amount.

Walden College Makes Good Start in New Home (Telegram to The New York Post) Nashville, Tenn.-Walden College has recently closed a successful semester in her new home overlooking the southern part of the City of Nashville. Examinations have been held, the students have enjoyed a post examination pow-wow, and the faculty and members of the board of trustees have attended a reception in the president's quarters. With new site and equipment, and an increased force of teachers, under the auspices of the Boast of Education for Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Walden ought do splendid work. The Board, directed by Dr. I. Garland Penn and Dr. P. J. Mavety of Cincinnati, is bending every effort in order to put the college in shape to keep pace with advancing educational standards. T. R. Davis, the new president, isably assisted by eighteen teachers. The new teachers are Dean Joseph O. Jones, chemistry; Mrs. Josephine E. Jones, history and elementary sociology; Miss Ona E.

Splendid County School Operated at Franklin (Telegram to The New York Age) Franklin, Tenn.-This town, the county seat of Williamson county, located in the heart of the garden spot of Tennessee, has a population of 4,000, half of whom are colored. The people are progressive, religious and God-fearing. The central school for the county is located here, with a staff of one principal and eight teachers. The school has three departments—literature, domestic art and domestic science. Children from all parts of the county are admitted to this school without tuition. It is easy of access as the town is intersected by two railroads and one interurban line. James K. Hughes is principal of the Franklin public school, and has been Jeanes supervisor of Williamson county since 1912. The high school department is under Mrs. J. K. Bentley, graduate of Pisk University. Domestic art is in charge of Miss Bessie M. Smith, graduate of Tennessee State Normal, while the domestic science department is directed by Mrs. Edna C. Hughes, graduate of Rush University and Tuskegee Institute. Miss Belma C. Jackson is in structer in shorthand, and Miss Mattie B. Stewart is head of the primary department. Intermediate teachers are Miss Lena B. Sharber, Miss Irene Williams and Miss Johnnie Satte Carter. The Irvings Surprised. Jersey City, N. J.—On Friday evening, March 2, Mr. and Mrs. Henry C.

HOGANS. The sudden death of Porter A. M. Roberts, of acute indigestion, last Tuesday in Boston has removed from our midst another old and respected employee of the Pullman Company. Coming to this country about twenty-five years ago from Antigua, B. W. I., he has been in the Pullman service more or less that entire period and has made a host of friends in and out of it. He was particularly known and admired for his genial disposition and sterling character. Besides being a member of the Pullman Porters' Athletic and Social Club and the Pullman Porters Beneficial Association, he was a 32nd degree Mason, being identified with Cornersstone Lodge, No. 37, F. & A. M. Funeral services were held on Friday evening, March 2, at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, with Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor, officiating. The masonic services were held later at Yates Undertaking Parors. Interment was at Woodlawn Cemetery on Saturday. We observed a group of substantial porters down at the Pullman offices last week, among whom were O. H. Sylvester, J. H. Mingo, A. P. Condy, S. J. Freeman, R. O. Thibou, T. E. Griffin and W. H. DesVerney. They had come down at the invitation of the latter to confer with the new superintendent relative to matters affecting the porters. In conversation later with one of the conferences, we inquired what he thought of the new boss. He replied, "From his conversation he appears to be all right," adding that, judging by what he had heard from the porters of other districts, the porter will always get a square deal when he comes before Mr. Cooke, that is, if he is half-way right. These porters we have mentioned are the representatives of the Pullman Porters' Beneficial Association and the Pullman Porters Employees Representation Plan. After sizing these men up from a social, domestic and economic standpoint without favor or prejudice, we think, after all has been said and done these men constitute a representation of high class material. In making this assertion, we realize we are reverencing our opinion of last year. But this wisely said: "A fool and the dead never change opinions"—we are trying to avoid both of these states of being at the present time. Grace Congregational Church Last Sunday morning, the people of Grace Church listened to a review of the work of the American Missionary Association by Dr. Geo. L. Cady, one of the secretarials. "Willis N. Huggins of Public School, No. S, spoke in the evening on the "Challenge of Youth". This address was interesting.

The Brown students, under the direction of Heber Wharton, gave a very interesting program at Zion Church last Thursday evening. The pageant, "The Light of the Women," was beautifully given by the department of pantry of 1 and Street Church at the Plainfield Baptist Church before a large congregation. The suppers of the Women's Club of the Congdon Street Church are so largely attended that they are requested to give more. The choirs are rehearsing their music for Easter and each church is expecting its singers to do their best. Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors The Philadelphia Tribune tells how a righteous judge prevented an overzealous prosecutor from railroading an innocent man to prison: A Negro accused and identified as the man who assaulted a woman in West Philadelphia was about to be railroaded without a fair trial. Judge Gordon refused to permit the trial to proceed until an attorney was appointed to defenr the prisoner. His action was perfectly right and is exactly what justice demanded. At the trial it was proved that the prisoner was not in Philadelphia at the time of the assault. This proves conclusively that to permit a man to be convicted without a fair trial makes it possible for many innocent people to suffer. It also proves that women highly excited will identify a man as the guilty one simply because they think he is the man. We wonder how many innocent Ne- WASHINGTON, D. C.

IND. groes have been burned at the stake because of the identification of some hysterical woman. The only way for justice to obtain is to have a fair trial. This shows the need for judges with probity and backbone on the bench, who will insure to those accused of crime a fair trial regardless of public clamor or color prejudice. The public prosecutor is too often so anxious to score a conviction, as to ignore the possibility of innocence on the part of the prisoner. In defining the place in history that should be assigned to Richard Allen, the first bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Christian Recorder said: Perhaps the greatest drawback in our racial life, is the ignorance of our educated, people about our great men. Hence we are not able to cultivate proper respect for ourselves, and to bring about the cooperation so necessary for racial success. If you go through Germany, from one end to the other, you will hear the name of Martin Luther, the great founder of German Protestantism. If you should go through France, you would find everywhere the Protestant people singing the praise of John Calvin, the theologian of the French Protestant Reformation. The followers of Methodism throughout England and throughout the world point to John Wesley, and in 1921 when the Ecumenical Conference met in England, it was the pride of the assembly of Methodists there to stand with bowed heads in reverent admiration at the grave of this great founder of Methodism; and none paid higher tribute to him than the Negro representatives of the Negro Methodist churches who were photographed at his tomb. And yet, neither Martin Luther nor John Calvin, nor John Wesley exceeded in their spiritual insight or in their ecclesiastical statesmanship the record of this humble man born a slave in the State of Pennsylvania+Richard Allen, the founder of African Methodism. It remains for such race publications as the Recorder to dispel this ignorance concerning our great men. The Birmingham Reporter recently published the following item of news on its first page: Mr. John Washington, of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., was in the city this week attending a meeting of government service men. When one of the national officers spoke Mr. Washington happened to be the only Negro postmaster in Alabama and whey postmasters were asked to stand the audience was taken with surprise when a Negro stood. This shows the extent to which the policy of not appointing Negroes Federal officials in the South has been carried. What benefit this change of policy has brought to the Republican administration remains to be seen. PROF. CHAS. H. MOORE (The Greenboro, N. C. Fultzling) In the Dr. J. W. N. V. Cordine here in Greensboro there was given a great dance and reception,* at which there were many of Greensboro's most reliable men and women of the professional, laboring and domestic classes. On the program Prof. Moore was given a place of honor. One of the pieces of music on the program read like this: "Here comes my daddy now--Professor Glas. H. Moore." The honor given the professor on the program was not undue, for truly he is the "Daddy" of many, many men and women throughout the Land. There is hardly a native man or woman of WITH OUR GIRLS DEAR GIRLS: I do not want to start right off complaining the first time I write, but we must be charitable. Last week I asked all of you to write me and as yet I have received a letter from "Marshmallow" only. The editor says that we girls are negligent about the column. Now. I want every one of you, the instant you read this letter, to sit down and write to the column, and under your article write: "I pledge myself to write every or every other week," and sign your name under it. For you know we cannot afford to love the column. Now that I have that off my mind I can talk to you, "Atalanta," your articles are just beautiful, I wish I could write like you. Are you in school? If you are you must make two hundred in your English, "Kindness," why don't you write some more stories like "The Wreck?" You have a wonderful talent but you know Dean Moore's quotation, "What you" do not use you shall not keep." Girls, do not think that I do not mean for the rest of you to write, but I mention these two now because they are the only ones I remember. Remember the pledge to write so that we shall have that whole page. Wake up and tell us what you are doing in church, school and society. There is a move for better girls; sup the colored race in Greensboro, who has not in some way been blessed by the tutorlage of Prof. Moore. He can walk along the streets and see little children whom he does not know but can at once recognize in their faces the features of their parents, who were once his pupils in the graded schools here, or the A. & M., or Bennett College. The Professor has never been false to a friend or to a stated principle. He is no hypocrite. He has long been a political and social worker, always full of pop and never a coward. Had he been a fawning hypocrite as a teacher and leader he might have now been better off in the world's goods, but he it said to his unhappy credit that he has never locked a book or stabbed a man by official deeds for his own selfish ends. Mainly as he always has been, because of which he has met with unkind cuts and disappointments, nevertheless, he holds in fee sample here property well worth twenty-five thousand dollars. Prof. Moore has always worked hard and absolutely sincerely for all that the Negro is entitled to as an American citizen. His lifelong service in this capacity has not been due to race interest alone but interest in our American social system as well, for it cannot be logically denied that the Negro is an integral part of our American social fabric, in the event of whose decay the Negro must pay his pro rata share of the price of aloement. Knowing the sinister methods of point Negroes in expressing themselves publicly or in private to white men on the "Negro Question" here in the South, if we were a white man we would not believe them, but in the case of Proof. Moore we would pay respectful attention to what he would say on the subject, for he is honest and speaks out of the hearts of his people. The day of subterfuge here in the south must win end or out southern civilization must crumble and decay. Men must speak out and give full and honest expressions of their opinions in matters of general importance to the state. Prof. Moore is one of this kind. He is now retired, resting well upon his honest and hard earned laurels, and we take this means of laying this expression of appreciation before his gaze instead of waiting to give him flowers when he shall have Crossed the Bar. PAO5 FIVE pose we help. Don't you think there is room for improvement among some of our girls. There was a meeting at Bethel Church for better girls and the "Wonder Girls" serped as ushers. I heard that Mr. Moore gave an interesting lecture to the girls. "SUNSHINE" Jersey City, N. J. DEAREST GIRLS: How are all of you? PIT-A-PANT you can't imagine how much I wish to see you and thank you for your wonderfully helpful letters. Can you come over to New York on the 11th Let me know, address 437 West 45th street (Deams). "Brownie," as you are the originator of the column, you know how much thought and time it took to be giving new ideas and keeping everything going. Well, I am going to start a movement to better social conditions among our people and you can't imagine how that is on my heart and mind all of the time. I would like to meet the "Mystery Girls" and tell them all about it. The "Wonder Girls" are working with me and they are certainly sweet. "Mystery Girls" you shouldn't let me chatter break you up but let me for one another bind you close together as sisters. What new books have you read lately, or new plays have you seen? "Malanta," your letter, especially along the train, was beautiful. Girls what do you think about a man like Wim. Dickens, telling us the colored race which needs God more than any race in the world that the Bible is not true? In your letters next week, each one of you tell what you think. I think that he is crazy. Love to all. "ETHEL" New York, City DEAREST SISTERS How glad I was when I saw our column last week. "William," we are demonstrating to our dear editor the words of Marten: "He can thinks he can." Last Tuesday evening I heard Mrs. Booker speak on SUCCESS Everyone I take for granted, is in quiet of success. Emerson says: "To make the best of thy stuff, the cloth, iron and character, this is success. Go on and make the best out of what you have." I think this is why we don't succeed. We want to compare ourselves with somebody else. Making the best of thy stuff, not complaining, I would take hold of something and work it along to progeny. We can't all do the same thing. The thing we want to know is, what have I been put in the world for? Feel that one can fill your place. God is depending on you; if you tall down you will fail God's plan. That is why you should be proud of yourself. Think of this. If all my race were just like me, what kind of a race. Oh, Lord, would my race be? Let us believe in ourselves. Prove your intelligence by your action. What is it that holds me back? Is it because I have not enough training? Then get it. Lincoln did not know his alphabet until he was twenty-one years of age, but he rose to the highest office of these United States. Let us love just great big love God is still capturing your dream to come true. Find out what your particular vision is, and then work hard to let it come true. Young people do what they do to make life a success. "Atalanta," I identify for your articles. New members, you are most cordially welcomed into our column. Dear girl, try and keep warm.

White Fine Tribute to Charm and Worth of Negro Spirituals Fine Tribute to Charm and Worth of Negro Spirituals The article reproduced below was published by the New York Evening Sun on February 28. The volume paid to the Noyo Spiritual, and the description of various of their songs makes the matter of such interest that no apology to necessary fair its being copied into this column the womens organisation of Newgrange being trained to sing in their schools and in Instagram and Hamilton institutions they are beginning to work with pride on these prominent stages of their organisations which are all by many critics to rank with the ballads of Scotland Ireland and England. A collection of Newgrange's greatest works from their pupils who came from ten countries in an annual call and hidden home readings on the stage has been presented to both the Hamilton and Instagram institutions. "No system of a system, says your student of Negro folk," Ivan record the shades of expression and feeling conveyed in such line as "Umfumm. Old Ivad, in pol chillin' got a home at last. I've done got weary and I've lost my way, and I don't want you go and leave me' or 'Death dawn lay his cold I lay hand on me.' We say, for instance, that the word 'boy' is associated, but we can't lay mean of black and white moves that oppose Death of Death which the Negro singer models in it. "One can't help being deeply moved by the way a Negro choir sings such a simple song as the new famous. Sometimes I feel like a motherless child. As one old Negro woman pointed out, 'You got to stait dat song in a mourn.'

No you can imagine the variety of expres- sion affixed by their condition of these simple phrases.' The Negro slave put into his religious songs all the emotions he was forced to contend in Jesus daily life. None of them shows any rebelliousness or vindictiveness; there is only patience for the life and great hope for the next. When his burden seemed intolerable he and comfort in such songs as "God's a gwine to move all de troubles away," or "When Jesus shuck the mama tree, He shuck it for you as" He shuck it terribly. When his pagents or children were sold he sang, "Oh Lawd, oh my good Lawd, keep me from sinking down," is massa gwine to sell us to tomorrow? is massa gwine to sell us to tomorrow? with its lugubris retrain, "Yes, yes," offers a pathetic consolation in the remitting of the family in heaven. Another favorite was keep a inchin' along. keep a inchin' along. Massa Jesus comin' by an' by; Keep comin' along like a po' inch worm. Massa Jesus comin' by an' by. The traditional Christian idea of heaven with its pearly gates, golden streets and heightled angels wearing crowns and playing harps was joyfully accepted by the slave Negro.

On many plantations the Negroes were denied the privilege of holding religious exercises and were thus forced to conduct secret prayer meetings in the woods. The singing of songs comprised for the most part the entire religious service. The preacher, usually as illiterate and ignorant as his brethren, could offer them nothing to compare with the exaltation they got from singing. Zackery and Coates In a Joint Recital Mine. Jessie Andrews Zackery, colatura soprano, and Edwin Coates, pianist, presented an interesting and well-balanced program on Monday night, Mark 5. at St. James Presbyterian Church. There was an appreciative and sympathetic audience present and both artists were given a cordially warm reception. Mine. Zackery sang four groups, giving Who Knows?

New Rochelle, N. Y.—The Oriental "Speed Merchants" last week scored their nineteenth victory out of twenty-one games, this year, when they defeated the Lincoln Colored Stars, by a score of 34-19. The Stars, with a lineup which included Harold Mayer, former St. Christopher "Machine" star, Lester Fiall, Charlie Stewart of the Spartan "Braves", Hackey Rhino, and Hobey Johnson, put up a good game for the first eight minutes, but after that, were no match for the fast going Orients. The first half ended with the home team leading by a score of 17-8.

Famous Regular Army Musical Organization Plays Three Concerts. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—All thoroughfares surrounding and leading to White Hall lawn at Tuskegee Institute were jammed Sunday evening by automobiles of colored and white visitors from Montgomery and adjacent towns, who had come to the Institute to hear the concert given by the famous 24th Infantry Regiment U. S. A. Band, with Warrant Officer Joel P. Elazer, conductor. The band, composed of 57 pieces, came to the Institute with the reputation of being one of the best military hands in the United States. The reputation was more than sustained by the organization upon its recent appearance. It is composed of finished musicians and compares favorably with any musical aggregation which has appeared in this community. The program was well balanced, featuring "Poet and Peasant," "II Trovatore," and "Atlantis," with a few lighter selections, including marches and popular songs. The interpretation and rendition of the heavy numbers were as effective and as accurate as of those of less ambitious order. Warrant-Officer Elazer won the audi- tors to him and his musicians by his manner of conducting, as was indicated by the applause which followed each number, and the many favorable comments upon his work individually as well as that of the band. The concert was made possible through the courtesy of Col. N. P. Nicklin, commanding the 24th Infantry Regiment, now stationed at Fort Reming. The band appeared in concert Saturday evening. Sunday afternoon, and at the chapel services Sunday evening. -BASKETBALL- COMMONWEALTH CASINO 136th Street and Madison Avenue SUNDAY NIGHT, MARCH 11 COMMONWEALTH BIG FIVE Colored Professional Champions.

Hope The Morehouse Association of New York City opened its educational and financial campaign Sunday, February 25 at Metropolitan Baptist Church, James H. Hubert, president of the Morehouse Association, presided, and presented Dr John Hope, president of Morehouse College. In his address, Dr. Hope paid tribute to the Home Mission Society College. He referred especially to the influence these schools have had in all parts of the country through the farseeing educated Christian leaders that they have trained. "Northern white and colored people," said he, "must not lose sight of the millions of colored people in the South and the peculiar problems facing them. The only financial guarantee to freedom for all people in this country is, the fair adjustment of the problem in the South. The American race problem cannot be settled in spots. Until Negroes South are guaranteed their life, liberty and opportunity for full development of citizenship, the safety of American citizens cannot be assured. He showed clearly the responsibility of the Negro in the North to the Negro in the South stating that for years to come the great bulk of Negroes will be south of the Mason and Dixon Line. Other speakers included the Rev. James B. Adams, pastor of Concord Baptist Church, Brooklyn, a graduate of Morehouse College, and J. R. E. Lee, extension secretary of the National Urban League. Musical numbers were rendered by Miss Andrades Lindsey and Henry A. Ethridge. Our House College is in a campaign to raise sufficient funds to qualify for an endowment of $300,000.

VALUABLE PREMIUMS WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH Ansorge Makes Gain In Recount of Votes The recount of the first of the 188 ballot boxes in the Ansorge-Weller Congressional contest in the 21st Congressional District at the Board of Elections showed a conceded gain of two votes for Representative; Martin C. Ansorge and a possible gain of five votes. The district examined was the 20th Election District of the 18th Assembly District the rolling place of which was at 40. St. Clair on Washington Heights. In that district the official canvass had given Ansorge 208 votes and Weller 175. The recount gave Ansorge 209 votes and Weller 174. Three additional votes for Ansorge which were not counted in November were claimed by Ansorge in the recount, and if allowed, will bring his (total) vote in this election district to 212, or a net gain of five votes. The total vote cast for Congress in the 21st Congressional District was 70,525 in the 188 election places. A net change of two votes in each election district will change the result of the election. The recount is being conducted under the Federal Statutes. Judge Learned Hand on Tuesday in the Unit.

Sunday-school convened at 1:30, Miss Bella, superintending, in charge. At 4 o'clock Rev. Nix and his people reached a spiritual sermon for the Burial Hes. In the evening the pastor preached a rousing sermon on The Eagle Stirring Its Nest. He said that as the eagle stirred its nest, so God stirred the church.
