Secretary Davis
Recent Odd F
Says Exclusive Use of Name
No Property Rights Invol
Folks Had Been
The recent decision of the Georgia
Supreme Court, dissolving an injunction asked for by the Davis-Ingram fashion of Odd Fellows against the group headed by Anthony Graves, and others, giving to both sides equal right to use the name and title, "District Grand Lodge, Grand United Order of Old Fellows," has not affected the property holdings, which are in possession of the Davis-Ingram party.
According to a letter from B. J. Davis district district secretary of the District Grand Council, the NALE of Georgia with his body, seceded some months after the jurisdiction of the SAC Committee of Management, controlling the order nationally, there was no question involved except the game of the Order. There was no question concerning the control of the property as the Graves' faction was entering only for right to use the game and title of the Order.
After summarizing the present status of the case, with regard to the recent Supreme Court decision, Mr. Davis writes that the largest element entering into this contest was the use of white folks in Georgia. He deduces that a court decision granting exclusive use of the name to either the Davies-Fram or the Graves faction would exclude white folks from use of the same title, and he asserts father, that "The white courts of Georgia will never give any Negro Secrets the exclusive use of the name of any standard secret organization that themselves have an organization of. So the decision was more the interest and protection of the black body to use the words Old Follows than it was a victory for the Graves faction."
The letter from Mr. Davis is in full as follows:
The Other Side
I have just read a news item in your valuable columns with reference to the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of B. S. Ingram et al, versus Graves et al. I know that you said you hadn't heard anything from the Ingram Davis group. In order that the public might know the truth, I ask leave to say in your columns that in 1921 an injunction was brought by the Ingram people against the Graves faction, enjoining them from the exclusion of the name of the Order in the case of the being a Georgia corporation. The lower court made the decision permanent, to which the Graves faction excepted to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court dissolved the injunction, which permits the Graves faction to have the name in common with the Ingram group. There was no question involved except the name of the Order—no

(Special to The New York Age)
Craigson, W. Va.-Legal procedures to set aside the will of Brian Pickens, anticipated since it was published, have been instituted by him, his brother, and a bitter friend in prospect for the large estate left by the precedent to his daughter "maude" in the year 1856.
Like once her brief of this, Kanaan's writings and a pictureque figure, dated December last, hequeathing his estate, Garnet Pickens, locally known and originally accepted as his daughter by a colored woman, long a cooperator in his household.
The will gave the netire state appraised at $50,000 to Miss Garnet, with directions that she great with love and affection" the lawful widow, Mary E. Pickens (white), who holds legal rights during her life time. It also directed that she "well and comfortably for Coral," the servant her life.

LAMB'S INTESTINES IN MAN'S STOMACH RESTORE HIS HEALTH

property right was involved. The Graves faction only asked for the use of the name.
"At a rehearing of the case, the Supreme Court struck from its decision the suggestion that the Graves people might be entitled to the exclusive use of the name. Inasmuch as they did not ask for that, the court did not grant them the right that they should be a Court's struck from its decision that phrase or paragraph, so that leaves the status in the state as follows:
"The Ingram people in possession of all the property, it having been committed to the corporation in advance by a former decision of the Supreme Court, which was not touched upon by the late decision. The only advantage the Graves people gained was the use of the name and permission to meet. They are hopelessly in thirth minority and its organization will not be able to make much headway. So we have a farce and all being treated in the Georgia corporation, the Graves faction will not amount to much. They cannot enjoin us from using the name and we cannot enjoin them.
"The largest element that entered into this question is that the granting of the exclusive use of the name Odd Fellows will exclude the white folks, and the white counts of Georgia will given any Negro person a name. The only way to obtain any standard secret organization that they themselves have an organization of. So the decision was more in the interest of the white man's right to use the word Odd Fellows than it was a victory for the Graves faction.
"Thanking you for space in your columns to state these arts, I am, "Yours very cordially.

WHITE WOMAN FORGES
NEGRO MOTHER'S NAME
TO VETERAN'S CHECKS
$1,600 in Compensation
Funds Secured in De-
franding Poor Woman
(Sponsor to The New York Age)
Washington, D. C.-Margaret B.
Buchanan, a white woman from Rich-
mond, Va., secretary to Congressman
Sarine A. Kendall of Pennsylvania, is
in charge of defrauding Mrs. Martha Wakefield,
mother of a Negro soldier who died
overseas in the country of his country.
Mrs. Wakefield, due compensation from the government on account of the death of her son, failed to receive the money due and made complaint to the authorities. As checks had been mailed to her, the checks were sealed, that the checks had been cashed.
The white woman, confidential secretary to a congressman, had gotten hold of the checks, forged Mrs. Wakefield's name and collected the money due to the Negro woman for the death of her son, a Negro soldier. Congressman Kendall, one of the wealthiest men in Congress, knew of the money and knowledge of the affair. Two deputy marshals and a 'secret service operative arrested Mrs. Buchanan after calling her into the hallway outside the congressman's office. The checks had been issued by the United States Veterans' Bureau. The woman was taken before United States Commissioner George G. Donald, it mentioned Mrs. Wakefield had formerly been cooking in the Buchanan family and the checks had been mailed to the home address of that family. It was in this manner that the white woman got hold of the checks. She put up as a defense that the Gold Star mother was illiterate and so she had to endorse the checks or be denied it. The money, aggregating $1,600, had not been received by Mrs. Wakefield, its right owner. Mrs. Buchanan is being held for grand jury action.
Freeport Ku Klux Sends
J. E. Robinson a Letter
(Special to The New York Age)
Freeport, N. Y.—An aftermath to the Ku Klux Klan demonstration which was made on Lincoln's Birthday by the erection of a flaming cross on a lot opposite the Freeport Auditorium, holding a dinner in honor of the day, is a letter which the hooded group has sent to John E. Robinson of 3 Waverly place, the most active figure in the Nassau County Negro-Get-Together Movement.
This letter, signed "K. K. K.-Invincible Order, No.-" attempted to disclaim intention of intimidating the Negro. It declared that the Klan is against the Negro on general principles, but that it recognizes his Americanism. On this point, the letter still.
Your race being in its infancy, it should be content to be governed by members of a race which have proven to be your superior."
In contradiction to this statement, however, the letter concludes with the paradoxical assertion: "You should have representation in the Village of Freeport, but you are a little ahead of your time."
Mr. Robinson, formerly managing editor of the New York Amsterdam News and president of the lyceum at St. Marks M. E. Church, West Sted, New York City, expresses a willingness to meet in public debate any member of the invisible empire, the subject to be "The Negro Race."
In the recount of ballots cast in the last congressional election, in the 21st New York congressional district, the result up to Tuesday night showed a gain for Martin C. Anoreg, Republican contestant, of 331 votes. The canvase includes 169 districts out of 169 given Royal H. Woolley, Democratic candidate reported as being elected, from 39 to 8 with 79 districts yet to be canvassed. Weller concedes that Anoreg has made substantial gains, but denies that the gain is as much as claimed. The result of the recount will be taken to Congress as basis of the contest instituted by Mr. Anoreg to regain his seat.

SITUATION AS TO NURSES IN TRAINING AT HARLEM HOSPITAL Reprinted Charges of Discrimination Along Color Line Are Refuted.
If Racial Line Is Drawn It Is Done Voluntarily By the Nurses.
The cort to discredit work of the Nurse Training School recently established at Harlem Hospital under ampieces of the authorities of Bellevue, a city institution, by charging that "jim crow" policies are in vogue there and that nurses, graduate as well as probationers, are subjected to lines drawn on a basis of color and race, was given further momentum by a letter published in one of the Harlem newspapers last week, purporting to have been written by Mrs. Ada Jainer of Washington, the nurse, graduate nurse curved the Harlem Hospital for postgraduate work but remained there only a few days. She was subjected to an inoculation of diptheria antitoxin; developing diptheria a few days later, and was taken to Willard Parker Hospital a woman's institution, for treatment. She did not return to the Harlem institution.
It is declared by the hospital authorities that Mrs. Jainer made application for postgraduate work, but that afterwards she complained that she was not given facility for study in other lines that were decidedly different from the course she had asked for. At the same time, my the authorities, if. Mrs. Jainer had remained it would have eventually been possible to give her the course for which she expressed the delayed desire.
A statement by Mrs. Jainer that she was compelled to feet or more from the door of the nurses' home to the ambulance is categorically denied by the Harlem Hospital officials.
Explaining the Situation
The charge that the colored nurses aid are often required to work under direction of and take orders from which students or undergraduate nurses is met by the hospital people with the statement that at no time are colored nurses' aids on day duty, and that there are no white nurses at present on night duty, so that colored nurses' aids are only used by students who are in charge of the words at night. Other statements illustrate the placing of subordinate white nurses over colored nurses of higher rank are similarly without basis of fact, declare the hospital officials.
About the only substance contained in these statements. The Age was told might be found in the fact that occasionally newcomers to the hospital, unfamiliar with hospital routine or with location of needed supplies, find it necessary to attend certain forms of the attaches who know about these matters and who can be of assistance to the new nurses.
As to ignoring of distinctions in grades among the colored members of the school and of the staff, the hospital superintendent declares that this is without basis. The probationers are seated at tables set apart for them, while the graduate nurses of the staff, the head nurses, the supervisory officials, the affiliated nurses and the postgraduate nurses are grouped together in their ranks according to their color. Attaches of the hospital who have long been in the service of course have occupied in a considerable period seats in the dining room at their particular tables. As the tables seat four to six persons, it would hardly be expected that these older employees would be shifted from their accustomed places to provide seats for newcomers. The custom is to place the later-employed at places provided as the need arises.
The Reception Rooms.
In the matter of separate reception rooms, the explanation is that one room is provided for the regular nurse staff and another for the probationers. There are no white probationers, consequently the users of the one room are all colored. But say the officials, there is no rule prohibiting mingling of the nurses, and it is a frequent occurrence to see white nurses in the probationers' reception room, or colored, graduate nurses in the reception room/for graduate nurses. As a matter of fact, however, some of the nurses are not required to form uniform volition and choice, use the probationers reception room exclusively, giving as a reason that they prefer-being with their own race.
As this is their voluntary action, the authorities at the hospital are not responsible for it. As a matter of fact, even Mrs. Joiner states in her letter that white and colored nurses' mingle freely together.
It is declared by officials of the institution that the one idea has been to provide an opportunity for colored girls to acquire the nursing profession to open the wards in the hospital. Hospital or nursing staff. As the operating staff has always been composed of white physicians and nurses, it is not possible to change in a day, the operative personnel, but as colored girls become proficient they will be placed in positions of responsibility, according to the hospital authorities.

The Old North State is setting a pace for the development of its Negro population that puts it far in advance of any other southern state.
When this writer was selected as State Inspector of Negro Rural Schools by the North Carolina State Teachers' Association in their annual session, held in Winston-Salem in June 1935, North Carolina was not spending more than $85,000 annually for the educational training of the little black boys and girls in its rural districts.
The past year, however, the state spent $935,000 for Negro schools, the local educational program involved $125,000, while the colored public school teachers received $1,500,000. Seven hundred and fifty thousand $750,000 dollars have been spent for the building of 233 Rosenwald schools. $175,800 of this amount was given by the colored school teachers. The institution which adjourned on March 7th, was unusually liberal in its appropriations for the education of the Negro. For instance, it gave for higher education to the A. & T. College the chief state school for Negroes. $601,000. To the three state normal schools, it appropriated $1,194,600. The public school for the race will, of course in for its share of the $,000,000 appropriated for running expenses of the common schools during the coming two years. The ideal of school structures going on in Greensboro at the present. At the A. & T. College an agricultural building is nearing completion, the cost $115,000.
Just on the outskirts of the corporate limits of the city two Rosenwald buildings were completed and dedicated last month, one consisting of eight rooms and auditorium, costing $10,000; the other, six rooms, costing $8,000. Both structures are built of terra-cotta.
"In addition to the above school buildings, there is now in the course of erection a modern fireproof structure for the colored poplars of the city on six acres of ground in Cedar street,

CHURCH CEREMONY
IN CONFERENCE ON
NEGRO MIGRATION
Leaders of Both Races Consider Industrial Problem of Migrants.
Leaders of Both Races Consider Industrial Problem of Migrants.
An interesting, but informal, conference was held under auspices of the Commission on Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches on February 21, there being present churchmen of both races from eightman cities to consider the question of Negro migration at 105 East 22nd street, New York City.
In two sessions of about three hours each, these leaders, coming from New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, District of Columbia, Michigan, and New Jersey gave a consensus of opinion as to what churches and social agencies in their local centers may do toward rendering better service to the newcomers from the South. Representatives were present from several denominations, including church federations, the Council of Women for Home Missions, and directors of Negro Work in the North. A summary of reports and discussions indicates that there will be a larger movement during spring and summer of 1923 than ever before. Present restrictive immigration laws continue to cause law shocks, consistently many industries will open doors to Negro labor in large numbers. This is true now in such industrial centers as Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Bridgeport and Hartford.
Bishops of the A. M. F. Z. A. M. E. and C. M. E. churches, and leaders of other denominations, declared that large numbers of their southern constituents left the rural districts during the past fall and winter, coming from other religiousities, indicating an unusual movement for the coming warm weather season.
Recommendations by the conference included rapid action by local federations, councils of churches, and other community agencies in the formation of interracial committees in northern cities, that the question of race relations may be solved by application of the principles of brotherhood. The bringing together, in conference, of leaders of he two races will bring about better understanding and harmony of action; the appointment of colored workers as Travelers' Aids with the National Travelers' Aid Society, making connection of such newcomers to the community through churches or other organizations, and to locating them in proper homes and neighborhoods, including the cooperative plan of purchasing homes.
These interracial committees are to be urged to promote employment of Negro migrants (1st) by interviews with employers to open up new opportunities; (2) Keeping contacts with employers to advise on problems and to encourage further employment; (3) Talks to Negro workers in churches and factory meetings about punctuality, attitude toward work, and other elements of efficiency; (4) Discussing before white churches and other organizations the usefulness of the Negro migrants; (5) Favorable presentation through newspapers of matters congrudging the Negro. Ministers of churches with migrants as part of the membership are urged to keep in contact with this element and establish relations with their employers. Access to recreation facilities, parks, playgrounds, libraries, museums, etc., and that church properties be used seven days in the week is offered as a desirable proposition.
Emphasis is placed upon close cooperation between church, church and community agencies, with both races sharing in the responsibilities and benefits of such agencies. The churches of white membership are urged to help provide better, training for Sunday-school and other religious leaders and to give representatives from New York schools a greater participation in denominational and interdenominational activities, calling attention to the face that the Negro is "a tremendous religious asset; he is a churchgoer; he heeds the church environment; he is amenable to the church appeal."

(Special to The New York Age)
Millbrook. N. Y.-Bus travel between Millbrook and Poughkeepsie has been taken out of the dull realm of ordinary, every-day life, and made to fit into one's most luxurious dreams. William R. Collins; the colored man who owns and operates the Millbrook bus line, has put into service a 28-passenger bus which is the last word in comfort and luxury, costing around $8,000.
It is a big, blue car, handsomely built, beautifully finished and upholstered, with brilliant lights for night travel and adequate heat apparatus for cold weather. To passengers between Millbrook and Poughkeepsie, this new acquisition makes it possible for them to enjoy all the comfort and convenience ordinarily associated with modern steam car travel.
The car is exhibited on two different occasions, in front of the Nelson House, ark street. Poughkeepsie, and attracted attention and admiration from hundreds of people.
The growth of Mr. Collins' business reads stranger than fiction. Twenty years ago he started with an old coach that would possibly squeeze in six permanent horses. Today he has a plant that could not be duplicated for $100,000.
WHO IS TO BLAME FOR PNEUMONIA
Pneumonia is a disease of the lungs. It is caused by a germ which is different from the ones which cause the "flu" and most common colds. This germ is so small that it cannot be seen by the eye unless the eye be aided by the powerful magnifying glasses of a microscope. Hundreds, thousands, even a million of these germs can be seen into the air by one sneezes, even a million of these men and women say: "Well, I haven’t had pneumonia, so I can agree it is by coughing or sneezing!" This is not true for moses and mouths, all of us our current many kinds of germs. We do not become ill because we have built up a "resistance" to these special kinds of germs. That is, our blood is ready for them!
It is as though we had a wall around us and be: the gate stood, soldiers guarding us. These strong, healthy soldiers have been warmed and are ready for the enemy. As the invaders come through the gateway, the soldiers "knock them on the head" and the city is saved!
This is what happens. The blood is our army of defense and if it has been made strong and healthy through the proper kind of food, rest and fresh air, etc., it will be able to kill off the germs which threaten to invade our bodies and make us ill. This is what we mean by having "resistance."
Pneumonia germs may be "weak" and if so, cause a "light case" of pneumonia, or they may be very virulent. This means that the germs have extra or strength, and are very polymorphic, capable of causing dangerous illness.
Healthy people, who have themselves strong defense against the germs they carry, may spread virulent pneumonia germs to people who have no resistance. If well people can spread the sickness, it stands to reason that people who have the disease and who are recovering from it may spread it even more easily.
Pneumonia patients and people who have never had it may be responsible for new cases of this disease. There are cases of cough or coughs improperly may be "to blame" pneumonia. Tell other people these facts so that we can wipe it out.
Here in Millbrook is located his big well-appointed garage, with a splendidly equipped repair shop attached. The entire plant is steam-heated, and his flock of buses and automobiles are the finest in Dutches County. In business, the word of William R. Collins is considered as good as gold, and he is thoroughly respected by everybody. He is a thorough-going business man in every respect. He operates a half-down big passenger bus. He has big, large, a flock of his hired, comfortable automobiles, open and closed bodies, used in catering to the patronage given him exclusively by the wealthy Bennett School for Girls at Millbrook.
The transportation of passengers in Dutchess County by means of automobile buses has grown into a business of huge dimensions. Bus lines run into Polygkeepsie from all sections of the county—from the Connecticut boundary on the East, from Ulster County on the West, from as far North as Columbia County, and from the boundary of Putnam County on the South. And it is an outstanding fact that of all the buses in use on these various lines, the finest in appearance and equipment are those owned operated by Mr. Collins.
Southwest Branch Finds Present Quarters To Be Inadequate.
(Special to The New York Age)
Philadelphia, Pa.—At a cost of nearly $20,000, property with a frontage of forty feet on Christian street, adjoining the location of the building occupied for nine years by the local southwest branch of the Young Men's Christian Association of Philadelphia, was acquired and will as soon as possible be converted into dormitory rooms connected with the present building to relieve the shortage in that respect.
Later on the houses will be razed and a permanent annex erected. This will make possible not only an increased number of young men who can be accommodated with rooms, but will make possible an area of the building that will also the swimming pool, both of which have long since proven inadequate. Additional class rooms and an assembly room are also part of the plans for the future. It is hoped that an assembly room seating several hundred can be constructed, available for use by other organizations and the general public for meeting purposes.
Secretary Henry W. Porter, who has been in charge of the work since the opening of the building, said that during the past nine years, in the various departments of our work we have rendered service to 372,539 men and boys. The secretary's report for the month showed a satisfactory increase in memberships and added interest in many of the association features. Dr. T. S. Burwell is chairman of the committee of management and Attorney W. A. Pollard is secretary. Other members are J. H. Jivin, A. H. Ainsu, Dr. J. P. Turner, J. R. Reddick, Isadore Martin, B. H. George.

GRAFT AMONG THE PREACHERS
Upon the preachers of the race there has always rested a great responsibility in leading and advising the members of their churches, not only in matters of religion, but in the more practical affairs of existence. The great majority of the ministry have accepted this responsibility and labored in every way to make good churchmen and good Christians, good citizens. There have been exceptions to this attitude of course in the cases of a small minority of preachers who have betrayed their trust for personal advantage and unlawful gain.
One of the examples of this abuse by certain pastors of the confidence reposed in them is the saddling of weak congregations with churchly edifices beyond their means, which involve them in crushing debts. An instance of this kind was afforded in the case of an uptown congregation with a membership of but two hundred persons, whose pastor urged the purchase of a building capable of accommodating 2,000 people. This is undoubtedly a valuable piece of property, but it is plotted with three mortgages for $10,000, $10,000 and $40,000. The burden of interest on this indebtedness is certainly beyond the ability of the members to carry, and unless their numbers can be increased within a very short time, the ultimate result will be the loss of the property, with all the money put into it.
An unfamiliar phase of the situation is the fact that a woman member of the church is the holder of the third mortgage of $40,000, and has also advanced $6,000 additional as a further loan. This is an example of wild financing, brought on by the ambition of the pastor to have a big church. Instead of building up a congregation of efficient numbers and resources to warrant such a building, he plunged his trusting membership into a sea of debt, which bids fair to overwhelm them. In this case personal ambition may have dictated such an insecure investment, but the fact that the same has pastor held four receptions since last August, all of which mean the donation of funds by the members, betrays the tendency toward church graft.
A more reputable form of graft infringed in by a few of these pastors is the taking of commissions for recommending the purchase of worthless stock and securities by members of their flock. For a few dollars offered them by white promoters of questionable or untried ventures, these faithless shepherds lead their flocks to the shearing, by advising them to put their hard earnings in these worthless shares.
There is no excuse for this kind of grafting by the few condescensionless preachers who abuse the confidence of their members in such devious ways. As a rule the laboree is worthy of his hire, and the reward of the ministry has not always been equal to the sacrifices that the devoted pastor has made. But in most of the larger churches.

monetary rewards have kept pace with the growth of the congregations, and there is no excuse for the grafting practiced by a few unworthy advocates of religion. The ministerial grafters should be admonished to read and study the story of the banishment of the moneyshangers from the Temple, until they are moved to mind their ways.
ANOTHER HALL PROJECT
Projects for the establishment of a hall for public purposes are not a new thing in the history of the race in New York City. Several enterprises of this sort have been started within the past twenty years and languished or failed before getting very far. A good many years ago the Odd Fellows secured a building and made the necessary alterations to adapt it as a meeting place for lodges and hall purposes, but for some reason or other the project failed after a brief trial and the property was relinquished. But the need for a hall still exists and the announcement that the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows are to have one in this city, as published in a recent issue of THE Arg, shows that this historic order does not accept any such word as failure. The site for the proposed building has been secured on West 135th street, including the houses numbered 230 to
244. On this site the committee proposes to erect a six story building, which will contain offices for the District Grand Lodge, meeting rooms for the various lodges and households, a large auditorium and a motion picture theatre and stores on the first floor. There are said to be ten thousand Add Fellows and members of the Household of Bishu in the State and each member is being asked to buy one of the ten dollar bills issued to finance the project. It was also announced that the final payment had been made on the property acquired and that work on the new building would be started at an early date.
With thirty-three lodges and an equal number of Households of Rush located in Greater New York, this project would appear to have every guarantee of success, if it can command the hearty support of the members. Apart from its occupancy by the order the auditorium will prove a welcome addition to the limited and inadequate accommodations for public meetings and entertainments now accessible in Harlem. A steady income from outside sources could be counted upon for this purpose.
A large measure of the success of the enterprise will depend upon the ability of the management to inspire and retain confidence among the members of the order and the public, who are ensured to support it. A policy of frankness in dealing with the bondholders and others interested should be adopted. Accounts should be audited at frequent intervals and the reports of progress should be detailed and accurate. A low rate of interest should be returned to the investors, equal to what they would have drawn in a savings bank, until the project is in full operation and its earning capacity clearly shown. The cost of building should be determined at the outset, so that the amount of capital needed may be known in advance.
With the mixture of caution and courage, the hall project should result in success.
A DESERVED Tribute
A few weeks ago a deserved tribute was paid to Mr. L. Hollingworth Wood by representatives of various societies and organizations engaged in work for humanity. Mr. Wood is the chairman of the National Urban League, the mission of which has been to improve the conditions of the Negroes in the cities, and his work in this capacity has been marked by sympathy and understanding. It was therefore fitting that the race should have been represented on this occasion to add its meed of tribute to the general award.
Mr. Wood is of Quaker parentage, a graduate of Haverford College, where he was a member and captain of the football team. His Quaker ancestry and football experience have rendered him tenacious in his convictions of duty and always anxious to make a goal for humanity. He is a lawyer by profession and his service has never been lacking to those in need of friendly aid. The tribute recently paid him was well deserved and well timed.
Current religious controversies ventilated in the daily newspapers moved the Cincinnati Union to the following comment:
Our white Protestants seem for several months to be enjoying a terrible row among themselves as to the authenticity of the Scriptures, the immaculate conception and other vital issues of Christian doctrine. The Catholics meanwhile are marching solidly under the banner of their faith, the Jews still cling to the vital tenets of Hebrewism, while us colored folk are not really bothered about anything but a good time in this world and the next. The whites have shown most artistic ability in handling religion. Most of their missionary work is done in rich territory where the ignorant native is given Christianity in exchange for valuable products and land. Thus in Africa Christianity abounds and the whites are safely entrenched with the Bible for the credulous and the cannon for the obstreperous. Were there sincerity in the desire for spreading real Christianity then certain sections of America would receive, as it deserves, and need an army of real missionaries. Africa, Asia, Japan, China could and should do without them for a few years. Charity begins at home.
This is the superficial aspect as of the situation summed up by an interested observer. Christianity is too often utilized as a cloak to cover the exploitation of the weak by the strong. What is needed is the practice of real Christianity in the relations of mankind.

During the last session of Congress the newspapers of the country had a great deal to say about the "lame ducks," as those members who failed of reelection were called, many of whom were finally provided with fat offices to fall into by a sympathetic administration. The following item from the Columbia, S. C., Southern Indicator recalls the experience of those Negro members of Congress, who were placed on the retired list:
Ex-Congressman George W. Murray arrived in the city last Saturday evening from Chicago, Ill., where he has lived for several years. He comes to his home state not that the Murray of years ago, but with a broader vision and a message for his people that will bring new life to any audience that hears this message. While his real mission here is to represent the Headen Motor Company of Chicago, he will, when opportunity permits, address his people with his new message of hope and new inspiration that will result into new and better conditions.
Like the late George H. White, former Representative from North Carolina, who took to real estate and banking in Philadelphia, Mr. Murray does not intend to flock in the "lame duck" class.

The Louisiana case against the Klansmen has fallen down. The Grand Jury failed to return a single indictment. The State at the open hearing examined one hundred and thirty-nine witnesses, established the identity of four members of the mob and of approximately thirty other men, all of them Klansmen, as members of other mobs. State's Attorney General Coco felt confident that the State had made out its case. However, the result was as might have been expected. When it was known three weeks ago that out of the tenure of twenty there were ten of them known as Klansmen, five as Klan sympathizers and five as possible neutrals, it might have been concluded that the outcome would be a whitewash for the Ku Klux.
But the situation is more serious than mere failure to punish the men guilty of the terrible crimes committed at Bastrop. It is a demonstration of a super and invisible government at work. The actual government of Louisiana is paralysed. The courts are unable to function.
It is an eminent question as to how much of this super-government can be stood before the state governments will be actually and absolutely crushed under its weight.
THE SOUTHERN PARADOX.
is a paradox in the South which is come people. This paradox centers around the claim by Southern white people to Negro's best friends and love him better. This statement becomes a paradox in the treatment that Negroes receive in the paradox and puzzling is that in a state the statement is true, and the frequent are what make the whole situation so bleak.
Analysis of the matter shows that Southern are the best friends of certain indian Negroes who accept a sort of vassalage. I have little or no regard for Negroes, the conflicting attitudes that the paradox take much thought to see that a Southern or two or a half dozen Negroes were and yet be opposed to any progress of the race.
Remember some years ago, after we had a circle about Ben Tillman and his antics, we received a letter of mild protest from Carolina who asked if we knew the colored man as the overseer of his life with all of the business relations we did not know that Mr. Tillman said that if he hired a dozen colored overaut most confidence, and if he hired a tree plantation and treated them well, it is fact that as a member of the United States of American citizens.

Mr. C. from Florida, who was very bitter on the he was balancing his bitter opposition the right to vote by making the follow committee. We quote the following testimony:

I am old Negro in Alabama, and I send him his father's body servant in the Confederate Army when he came home to die. I am supportoes (representatives of the N. A. A. C. P.) and like that. They do not understand that sort of Negro we have the highest respect and am. But these Negro men are fussing, incarnations and propagandists, and are trying to stir up trouble on them. They are getting along finely.
The relations are all right and smooth, and is this sort of a paradoxical attitude is a communities and sometimes by the entire have the enthusiastic and sentiment in Washington to the "Black Man" laudable as it might be in itself—inion of ours—would be absurd if not the sort of treatment that the South give black Mammy."

There is a paradox in the South which is continually arising to baffle some people. This paradox centers around the statement so often proclaimed by Southern white people to the effect that they are the Negro's best friends and love him better than anybody else does. This statement becomes a paradox in view of the general sort of treatment that Negroes receive in the South. What makes it a paradox and puzzling is that in a narrow and very limited way the statement is true, and the frequent demonstrations of its truth are what make the whole situation so baffling to a great many people.
An analysis of the matter shows that Southern white people do love and are the best friends of certain individual Negroes, generally Negroes who accept a sort of vassalage. But these same white people have little or no regard for Negroes as a race. It is out of these conflicting attitudes that the paradox arises. But it does not take much thought to see that a Souhern white man may treat one or two or a half dozen Negroes with the greatest consideration and yet be opposed to any progress or development on the part of the race.
We remember some years ago, after we had written a rather scathing article about Ben Tillman and his anti-Negro antics in the Senate, we received a letter of mild protest from a colored man in South Carolina who asked if we knew that Ben Tillman employed a colored man as the overseer of his great plantation and trusted him with all of the business related thereto. We replied that we did not know that Mr. Tillman hired a colored overseer, but that if he hired a dozen colored overseers and placed in them the utmost confidence, and if he hired a thousand colored laborers on his plantation and treated them well, it would not overbalance the fact that as a member of the United States Senate he was using all of his power to keep the Negro as a race from being treated as American citizens.
The sort of defense that the South Carolina colored man put up for Tillman is often advanced by white men themselves. We remember when we appeared before the House Committee on the census a couple of years ago in order to place before the Committee.certain facts about disfranchisement. Mr. Clark, a member of Congress from Florida, who was very bitter on the whole subject, thought he was balancing his bitter opposition to allowing the Negro the right to vote by making the following statement before the Committee. We quote the following sentences from Mr. Clark's testimony:
"They might just as well make up their minds that we are not going to have Negro domination in Florida. I could not make it any plainer, but that is a fact. I am saying that on my own responsibility, not representing anybody but myself, though I think I represent my people, and I know their thoughts are along that line. I am today taking care of an old Negro in Alabama, and I send him checks regularly. He was my father's body servant in the Confederate Army, and came home with him when he came home to die. I am supporting him today. These Negroes (representatives of the N. A. A. C. P.) are not supporting anybody like that. They do not understand that sort of sentiment. For that sort of Negro we have the highest respect and the greatest consideration. But these Negro men are fussing, inciting violence, these agitators and propagandists, and are trying to stir up their people and bring trouble on them. They are getting along finely down in my country, and the relations are all right and smooth, and there is no complaint."
Sometimes this sort of a paradoxical attitude is taken by whole Southern communities and sometimes by the entire South. For example, we have the enthusiastic and sentimental project to erect a monument in Washington to the "Black Mammy," an action which, as laudable as it might be in itself—although that is not any opinion of ours—would be absurd if not ludricrous in the face of the sort of treatment that the South gives to the children of the "Black Mammy."
The New York newspapers last Saturday morning carried a dispatch from Jackson, Miss., which is another illustration of this paradox, a sort of illustration which occurs every now and then in the South. This dispatch of March 16 reads as follows:
"Governor Lee M. Russell issued a proclamation today ordering a suspension of public business in the capital building tomorrow during the funeral hour of "Uncle Lewis" Mahoney, for twenty-five years one of the Negro porters at the State House "Uncle Lewis" went violently insane yesterday and died this morning."
Now, "Uncle Lewis" may have been a very exemplary old gentleman and an efficient porter, and most likely was due all the consideration and respect that the authorities at the capitol of Mississippi paid him, and we do not begrudge him one iota of the honors shown him. But what we will object to will be the white people of Mississippi pointing to the action taken at the death of "Uncle Lewis" as proof that they love the Negro better than anybody else does and are his best friends. If they closed up all official business and put the flags on the Capitol itself at half mast for every faithful "Uncle Lewis" that died in Mississippi for the next one hundred years, it would not weigh a feather's weight in the balance against the humiliating discriminations, disfranchisement, unfair apportionment of school funds, lynchings and burnings, and the general policy of oppression which is practiced against Negroes of Mississippi.

It is well known that some of the greatest gladiators in the prize-fighting arenas have been and are Negroes. From the very beginning of pugilism there have been colored men who have demonstrated the very highest qualities of physical stamina and
having skill. The greatest stars of the prize ring cannot be named without mentioning Jackson, Dixon, Wolcott, Johnson, Langford, Jennette, McVey and Gans. The majority of the experts on sports would most probably agree that the man in whom all of the best qualities of the gladiator of the prize ring were assembled in the highest degree was Joe Gans.
As generally known as are the above facts, it is not so generally known that many of the greatest tutors and coaches of pugilists, men who have trained and developed many of the greatest fighters of the white race, were colored men. The greatest of all these coaches is, of course, Bob Armstrong, who perhaps knows more about the technique and strategy of the prize ring than any man living. Then, in former days there was Godfrey of Boston, who instructed a great many men in the art of self-defense.
And now comes the announcement that Tex Rickard has decided to have Firpo, the Argentinian prize fighter, taken in hand and taught the fine points of boxing by Sam Langford. Firpo is a giant in strength and a whirlwind fighter, but in order to be made available against the more seasoned and experienced men in the ring and to be qualified as a big drawing card and money-getter, he will have to be taught, and Tex Rickard has picked a Negro for his teacher.

Without apology we excerpt the following from "The Book of American Negro Poetry":
Although Dunbar is the most outstanding figure in literature among the Aframericans of the United States, he does not stand alone among the Aframericans of the whole Western world. There are Placido and Manzano in Cuba; Vieux and Durand in Haiti; Machado de Assis in Brazil; Leon Laviaus in Martinique, and others still that might be mentioned, who stand on a plane with or even above Dunbar. Placido and Machado de Assis rank as great in the literatures of their respective countries without any qualifications whatever. They are world-figures in the literature of the Latin languages. Michado de Assis is somewhat handicapped in this respect by having as his tongue and medium the lesser known Portuguese, but Placido, writing in the language of Spain, Mexico, Cuba and of almost the whole of South America, is universally known. His works have been republished in the original in Spain; Mexico and in most of the Latin-American countries: several editions have been published in the United States; translations of his works have been made into French and German. Placido is in some respects the greatest of all the Cuban poets. In sheer genius and the fire of inspiration he surpasses even the more finished Heredia. Placido was born in Habana in 1809. The first months of his life were passed in a foundling asylum; indeed, his real name, Gabriel d ela Concepcion Valdes, was in honor of its founder. His early life was a struggle against poverty; his youth and manhood was a struggle for Cuban independence. In his short but eventful life he turned out work which bulks more than six hundred pages.
In considering the Aframerican poets of the Latin languages I am impelled to think that, as up to this time the colored poets of greater universality have come out of the Latin-American countries rather than out of the United States, they will continue to do so for a good many years. The reason for this I hinted at in the first part of this preface. The colored poet in the United States labors within limitations which he cannot easily pass over. He is always on the defensive or offensive. The pressure upon him to be propagandic is well-nigh irresistible. These conditions are suffocating to breadth and to real art in poetry. In addition he labors under the handicap of finding culture not entirely colorless in the United States. On the other hand, the colored poet of Latin-America can voice the national spirit without any reservations. And he will be rewarded without any reservations, whether it be to place him among the great or declare him the greatest.
So I think it probable that the first world-acknowledged Aframerican poet will come out of Latin-America. Over against this probability, of course, is the great advantage possessed by the colored poet in the United States of writing in the world conquering English language.
KEEPING THE SOUTH SOLID
In the current number of Collier's Weekly there appears an article by a country editor of North Carolina, who announces that he dares speak for the younger generation of the South. This editor whose name is W. O. Saunders, publishes a weekly paper at Elizabeth City, N. C. Measured by the rooted standards of the white South Mr. Saunders would be styled broad-minded and progressive. He thinks that the South is bored by its own solidarity and tired of being caled solid, but "its political life is still largely influenced by old men, many of whom were early maimed in mind and spirit, hopelessly embittered by a bitter war." He further admits that the most minister influence is the Kot Kinch Klan, the extent of which organization no one exactly knows."
Having thus indicated the extent of Mr. Saunders' broad-mindedness and progressiveness, it will prepare us to hear, even if it strains belief, that the South "isn't as solid as it appears to be." He says on this point:
Even among the older heads I can point you to leaders of industry and finance who vociferously proclaim their Democracy in municipal, county and state elections and quietly vote for Republican "protection" in a national election. And the South generally today is stirred by a spirit of revolt and independence which manifests itself in countless splits and factions in the Democratic party itself.
Notwithstanding this admission of Democratic disintegration, the North Carolina editor deals this damper so the aspirations of the "Lilywhite" Republicans, who hoped to profit thereby. He says:
The Republican party can never break the Solid South so long as the race issue lives, because the Republican party has so far committed itself to the Negro that it cannot break with him now. The Republicans in the South may declare themselves "Lily White," but the Republicans in the North do not dare; they have got to coddle the Negro to hold the Negro vote and have a little solidarity of their own; and the Negro vote must be paid for with offices. The Negro knows exactly what he wants in politics, and he is a hard trader. When he doesn't get what he wants, he bolts, as was evident in several Eastern States in the recent November election.
This involuntary tribute to the political
almost outstanding figure in literature of the United States, he does not start of the whole Western world. The Cuba; Vieux and Durand in Haiti; Leon Laviaus in Martinique, and mentioned, who stand on a plane with wido and Machado de Assis rank in their respective countries without any are world-figures in the literature. Machado de Assis is somewhat hands as his tongue and medium the Placido, writing in the language almost the whole of South American works have been republished in the most of the Latin-American country been published in the United States been made into French and German, is the greatest of all the Cuban-poets of inspiration he surpasses even the Placido was born in Habana in 1809 were passed in a foundling asylum and ela Concepción Valdes, was in His early life was a struggle for Cuban indict but eventful life he turned out six hundred pages. American poets of the Latin languages is up to this time the colored poet out of the Latin-American country United States, they will continue to do the reason for this I hint at in the colored poet in the United States he cannot easily pass over. He is insensitive. The pressure upon him to be disposible. These conditions are sufficient in poetry. In addition he labors culture not entirely colorless in the hand, the colored poet of Latinal spirit without any reservations; but any reservations, whether it be or declare him the greatest. At the first world-acknowledged African-Latin-America. Over against this great advantage possessed by the collof writing in the world conquering
agacity of the Negroes in the North from such a source is to be viewed with suspicion. Mr. Saunders' object is undoubtedly to magnify the importance of the Negro vote in the North, thus creating jealousy and confusion in Republican ranks and making its seperation not only possible but permanent.
Coincident with this attempt at political strategy from North Carolina, has been the setting adrift of certain straws of Southern expression calculated to molify or cajole racial sentiment favorable to the South. First among these straws was the "Mammy monument" project, started by the Daughters of the of the Confederacy with the approval of Congress, for the erection of a memorial to the black mammies, of the South at Washington, D. C. Then came the South Carolina legislature with a proposition to pension those Negroes who served their masters, while the latter were fighting for the Confederacy. Unusual publicity was given in the newspaper accounts to the funeral of a faithful black employee, in a Southern city, which was attended not only by his white employer, but by the city officials and best white citizens. Special newspaper publicity has been given to the action of ex-Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, when as Director of Railroads during the World War, he maintained the principle of equal wages for black and white railroad employees. The fact that Mr. McAdoo is one of the leading candidates for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency may have nothing at all to do with the revival of this creditable attitude on his part.
These various straws, taken in connection with Mr. Saunders' contention that "the South is all dressed up for adventure, but has no, inviting place to go," would indicate that the South is counting on the division of the Negro vote as a preliminary to this adventure. The South has invited this division in its municipal elections, both for city officials and for the issue of improvement bonds. Now it looks gas if it would carry the principle a step further and apply it to State, Congressional and Presidential elections. The Negro has always been responsive to fair treatment in other lines, and if a fair deal in politics is offered him, the time is propitious for it.

Keeping the South solid requires the constant efforts of the demagogue in creating a bogy of the Negro. When the South outgrows its belief in the bogy man, it will cease to be a bogy.
LIBERIA'S CENTENIAL
During the month of January of the year the Republic of Liberia celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the colony by the pioneers. The Liberia Methodist liaised at Monrovia, issued a centennial number, in which a full account of the celebration was given. We prove it as follows:
The exercises began on January 7, a day that had been designated by legislative motion to be observed on Pioneer Day. The first service of the day was at the Providence Baptist Church founded by Lott Carey one hundred years ago. This was noted as General Thanksgiving Day by the Centennial Committee. An appointment program had been prepared, and the first sermon scheduled for the day was delivered at the above address by Dr. Noah N. H. R. Cassell, President of College. The union of all the denominational bodies for this celebratory presence of the Executive Government, made the scene pathetic and inspiring. The local choirs of various churches had prepared special music for the services that were in the churches.
Other features of the celebration followed in orderly succession during the week following, ending with the dedication of a monument erected to a Pioneers in the Public Square on Sunday, January 14. From the account of the several days' proceedings, we again quote:
The second day of the celebration was known as Government's Day. This marked a public reception at the Executive Mansion given by His Excellency and Mrs. C. D. B. Kirk. This was a feature that took in the day from eight o'clock in the morning until four in the afternoon. The citizens of Liberia, foreign residents and other distinguished guests attended the dedication in their institutions and well wishes to the Chief Executive of the Nation for the perpetuity and national integrity of the Republic.
---
The third day opened with bright skies characteristic of the "Dry Season" in the tropics. This was "Aborigines' Day." Native Chiefs were their attendants arrived from all parts of the Republic and strung the streets of Monrovia, with marches and Native dances. After marches down the principal streets, under the strain of Native music, these chiefs were received at the Mansion by His Excellency the resident, and after the address of welcome, principal address and impromptu remarks, with responses by Chiefs, a grand street parade and a lechon was needed in regular order to the Chiefs and their attendants. The day closed with great enthusiasm on part of the Aboriginal population, who felt themselves truly a part of the body politic and important actors in the development of the Republic.
The fourth day marked an outburst of patriotic pride as the women were asir in the exercises of the day. Through the energetic efforts of the Newport Volunteers, a splendid monument had been erected to the memory of the noted historic character, Marstida Newport. This cenotaph graces the public square, in the North corner near the intersection of Ashley and Newport Streets, front of the American Legation. The day marked the dedicatory exercises and unveiling of this splendid shade with appropriate ceremonies and music rendered by the National Choir which had been organized for the public exercises of the Centennial Celebration.
Children's educational day follows with inspiring exercises and the unveiling of a monument to Bishop Samuel David Ferguson of the Protestant Episcopal Church and his lamented wife. There were many other service meetings and parades and it is interesting to note that a baseball game is a part of the athletic program. Liberia seems to have observed her one hundredth birthday with up-to-date efficiency and whole hearted enthusiasm.
The substitution of a name of a company, as publisher of the Indianapolis Freeman caused Editor Harry C. Summ of the Cleveland Gazette to exclaim.
We certainly dislike seeing its servant and venerable publisher, George Knox's name taken from the paper. Another martyr to the cause of race prejudice. But a very few of us timers' remain, it seems. Fortune at Clifford gone, Murphy dead, Knox gone. We are getting lonesome, aren't we Editors Mitchell and 'Stewart?
The Richmond Planet and the Loveland American Baptist, which like the Cleveland Gozette, retain their original publishers, likewise preserve much of their original journalistic and typographical aspect.
A Bertillon expert in the Wichita Kansas, police department was recently to the effect that fewer groves, than white people were arrested for serious crime. He showed that out of 500 persons arrested during the year on serious charges, only 38 were groves. However, he added:
"Of course we arrest a much larger proportion of Negroes than that, most of them are in for petty crimes which do not warrant making fingerprints and 'imaging' them. You would be surprised, however, to find how law abiding the Negroes of the city really are. Many people think them a turbulent element. As a matter of fact, we do not have as much trouble with them as with certain classes of whites."
This testimony of a criminal expert goes far to upset the charges about the excessive criminality of the Negro, as based upon statistics alone. The man who tabulates these statistics is in a position to define their meaning better than the outider, who allows them who

I irrespective of connection, whether it be as a patron or that of an employee, there is one thing about the Pullman Company which commands your admiration and praise; and that is, their system of standardization and economy. It is a business axiom of theirs that all articles used in the operation of their service must be of uniform quality and quantity; likewise, an economical principle that nothing should be thrown away which can be made of use. When an article gets below the standard of its original use it is utilized in some other way or department. For instance; the whisk-broom—one of the working tools of the porter. When that article begins to get worn, a black border is painted around the handle so there will be no mistake in using it for any other purpose and it is used as a floor broom to collect ashes and burnt matches from the smoking room floor. Going into our car the other morning, we paused by the locker where the cleaning implements are kept and we heard this lamination coming from one of these newly converted whisk brooms:
At last I have reached the floor;
Shortly, and I shall be no more.
A companion for the duetpan and mop.
That certainly was a low-down drop.
It really hurts my pride.
Having with such companions to ride;
It nearly caused me to fall apart.
To chink I am no more the porter's pard.
Now when he for me finds use.
It shall be in a state of abuse.
If he would only treat me kind.
Perhaps, I wouldn't mind.
But why should I feel this way?
Even he shall pass some day.
I do not care how soon I go.
A Floor Broom! that's too low.

WITH OUR GIRLS
THE NEW YORK AGE
DEAR GIRLS AND ATALANTA:
It was agreed upon to hold a meeting on the third Saturday of each month. Now, I want to say that we did hold meetings at the "Y" until a few months ago. But if the others didn't attend meetings what was the use of the girls of Newark holding meetings for them? "Atalanta," if you and "Bobbie" came, you must have come after six-thirty. The "Y" gave us the privilege of holding meetings in one of their rooms. "Red" was the only Plainfield girl, that ever attended any of those meetings. You never came to any of the socials that we gave, therefore we have taken it for granted that you are no longer intreated in the Mystery Girls.
As for new officers, I wish to say that "Laughter" is president. I resigned that office a month ago because I felt a year was long enough to serve, although it would have been two years in April. When we first organized "Wes" was elected vice-president, and she has never attended a meeting. "Red" was our secretary, and was faithful for awhile. It is true that the Mystery-Girls are supposed to take in all the girls of New Jersey, but all the girls haven't helped us, have they? We can't make you accept our invitation of friendship if you don't want it. "Kid Palmer," you have not told the truth. Our meetings are not excu-
East Lynn, Mass.
Lynn, Mass. - At the Forum in Association Hall, Groveland street, Justine Sandridge of Boston was heard in piano selections. Lieut. J. C. Banks, violinist, of Lynn, accompanied by Mrs. Leon Marshall was well received, Mr. Gibbs spoke of the work of the Boston Urban League of which he is secretary. Mayor Hartland A. McPhettes spoke at some length and in a very commendable way. He urged the importance of organization, the wisdom of voting, and earnestly begged that anything that the colored people wanted done, or adjusted, or felt that they were not getting a square deal, to come to him at City Hall and he would do all that he could to make things pleasant and satisfactory. In regard to securing employment for men and positions for women, he would do all he could in that direction. He commended the people for having such an organization as the Forum; and asked to be invited again, and suggested that they invite the other members of the council to speak at some of their meetings. The program was presented by Miss Bernise Grandison.
The following program of the Forum under the auspices of the Lynn Association for the Advancement of Colored People was rendered; violin solo, Miss Alice Fowler, with Miss Mildred Fowler accompanist; piano solo, Miss J. Taylor; Dr. Achong of Boston was the speaker, song "Some Essentials in the Conservation of Health." The program was presented by Wim. Mitchell Dr. Otway of Boston will speak Sunday, March 15.
At Bethel A. M. F. Church the Nora F. Taylor Mite Missionary Society held a Candle Light Service, Mrs. A. Moore had charge of the program. Mrs. Frances Gaines made the address. A paper, was read by Mrs. A. Daven; mime Mrs. Q. Lacey; pantomime "Lead Kindly Light" Miss M Lacey.
Wayne. Pa.
Wayne, Pa.—The service at the Second Baptist Church was well attended all day Sunday, March 11. Rev J. H. Massey preached two sermons. The Sunday-school held its installation service. The installation address was delivered by U. G. Burkhead, the Mainline sub-district superintendent. The superintendent, Mrs. Harris, then installed officers. The closing charge was given by the pastor, Rev J. H. Massey.
This item was overlooked and is now being printed for benefit of patrons. The evening of October 28, 1922, was an occasion of joy for Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Wells of Mt. Pleasant, Pa. who celebrated their fourteenth wedding anniversary. Collation was served by the Waynewood Hotel caterers. The guests were Mrs. V. Holly, the Misses E. Hanson, G. Kalloway, E. Washington, D. Cambus and D. Norman; A. Wilson, A. Williams, R. Anderson, J. Holly, A. Harual, J. Simons, D. Bernett and Y. Patterson.
The Second Baptist Church was well attended on Sunday, March 18, and Rev. Masey of Philadelphia preached a fine sermon. The Rev. J. C. Washington preached to the Busy Bee Club of the Second Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon. Clifford Voice of Mt. Pleasant has returned from France, and Mr. Mawr, where he spent several months after a serious accident. Mrs. Largan of Ardmore is the guest of Mrs. Harper of Duean, Pa.
Miss Marie Hall, a student at West Chester Normal School, has been home a few days sick with la gripe.
Mr. and Mrs. William Young and Mrs. William Hall of Mr. Pleasant were among the guests at the reception of the Idle Hour Club at League Hall, Haverford, Pa. on Wednesday evening, February 28.

Kid Roux Defeats Jack Brown at Hamilton, O.
Hamilton, D--KK Rouss, 135 pounds, was the winner over Jack Brown of Chicago in the first mixed bout held here in recent years at the Lenox Athletic Club on Wednesday night, March 14. Rouss, who is an aspirant of the light-wright championship, was the winner of the bout by a narrow margin. Roux started the bout at fast pace, but was slowed up after the first few rounds, and had his opponent been a hard hitter the colored fighter would have been knocked out. From the tenth to the twelfth round. Roux came back strong, which gave him a slight margin over Bognum.
Kid Rhodes, hailed by his manager as the coming colored bantamweight champion, fought a listless six round draw with Kid Palmer. Neither fighter showed any desire for mixing it in the early rounds, but continual warning from the referee made them work harder. At the finish of the fight neither showed superiority over the other and the host was called a draw: Both Room and Rhodes are leaving for New York soon and will be seen in action at the East in the near future.

treasurer by Warren Logan of Tuskegee Institute.
According to Purcell's version, Mr. Logan, who is treasurer of Tuskegee Institute, came to Jacksonville on January 12, 1923, for the purpose of trying to adjust the claim of the Business League against Charles H. Anderson. After declining several requests to meet in conference with Logan, Anderson, and the petitioners in bankruptcy, Mr. Purcell finally consented to ascade to Mr. Logan's request and met the group at offices of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Co.
Bankers, the particular item charged being the sale to the bank of capital stock of the United Investment Corporation to the amount of $95,300.
When this case came to trial in the Duval County Court, the State Controller was present and testified that he had advised Anderson to form a corporation for the purpose of taking over the real estate of the bank; that he insured stock to be sold to others for cash; that Mr. Logan's request and met the group at offices of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Co.
After a long consultation, according to Mr. Purcell, an agreement was finally drawn up and signed by Charles H. Anderson, under date of January 12, 1923, in which he agreed to deliver deeds to all real property owned by himself individually and, by the bank, in trust for benefit of the depositors of the Anderson bank.
Mr. Purcell states that after this agreement was reached he was instructed to prepare the necessary papers to carry out terms of the agreement, which was done. A few days later he alleges that Charles II Anderson came to his office and asked for the papers, with permission to take them to his lawyers, which was granted. A couple of days later Attorney Purcell charges that Anderson returned five papers, but that they contained many changes, altering the force and effect of the agreement. These changes, said Mr. Purcell, he refused to consider. At this point, declares the lawyer, it became necessary for him to order the bankrupt banker out of his office, as he alleges that Mr. Anderson suggested to him that a fee of $1,000 would be paid if Purcell would have his clients sign the agreement which Anderson presented. Said Mr. Purcell:
"At no time have I promised Chas. H. Anderson or anybody else that for consideration of $2,000 I would dismiss this case. No man can say that during my practice in all of the courts of this county for the past thirty-three years that I have ever requested or accepted any consideration whatever to abandon my clients." With reference to the criminal charge brought against Charles H. Anderson, Mr. Purcell states that it was not a charge of embezzlement, but embraced charges of the unlawful investment of funds of the form of Anderson & Co.

THE material contrast between the structures with which he (Booker T.

But satisfactory and inconsequential is the fact that it is an annual turnout of two or three hundred young men and women for lines useful to them-setters and their families is of course a most commandable and helpful work but that was only an important benefit to do not personnel was to redistribute from a center like Tuskegee the light of the homely but ever living truth which must form the basis of real advance for his race, or for any race.—WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, Chief Justice United States Supreme Court.

ANDERSON BANK GASE
EXPLANATION MADE
BY ATTY. PURCELL
(Continued from First Page)
tion of the bank with racial enterprises in Jacksonville, Counselor Puffell took up the matter with the State Comptroller, writing him under date of December 24, as follows:
"The failure of this bank is a great shock, not that a bank has failed, because we have failures daily, but on account of the fact its failure throws a damper on the confidence of the people towards all colored enterprises."
Following the appointment of a temporary receiver, Anderson was given time to make it possible, and according to the records, it alleged that Anderson, with three others who were indebted to the bank, conferred with the Comptroller at Tallahassee, and arranged for the organizing of a bank which was to take over the assets and liabilities of the Anderson & Co. Bank, the depositors of which were to agree to transfer their claims to the new banking company in consideration of a certificate for the amount due them, to be paid in installments, in two years, without interest. This new bank was finally chartered under the name of the Florida State Bank, but after an extended period of controversy, during which period Attorney Puscelli, alleged that the proposed bank was only a scheme to defraud the depositors, the Comptroller refused to issue a certificate to do business to Anderson for the Florida State Bank.
During this period, the Anderson & Co. Bank continued in the hands of a temporary receiver, and it was alleged by Purcell that the assets of the bank were being disposed of, either by direct sale or through lawsuits, through Anderson and his friends, so on March 1. Attorney Purcell wrote the Comproller, requesting the appointment of a permanent receiver. On March 6, this request was granted and the United States Trust and Savings Bank of Jacksonville was named as permanent receiver of the Anderson bank holdings. The appointment was confirmed, on March 11 by the Circuit Court of Duval Co.
Denies He Wanted $2,000
Referring to the charge made by Charles H. Anderson that Attorney Purcell was sore because of a failure to secure from Anderson payment of the sum of $2,000 in consideration of which Purcell was to have secured dismissal of the charges against Anderson, Mr. Purcell told of having had to order Anderson from his office in connection with negotiations that were being conducted in behalf of the National Negro Business League, of which Anderson had formerly been treasurer, and to which he was alleged to be indebted in the sum of several thousand dollars, constituting an alleged shortage in his accounts as

When this case came to trial in the Duval County Court, the State Comptroller was present and testified that he had advised Anderson to form a corporation for the purpose of taking over the real estate of the bank; that he issued stock to be sold to others for cash and the money deposited in the bank; and that in his opinion Anderson had misunderstood the instructions and so gave the bank stock instead of cash. The court dismissed the charge against Anderson, saying he had violated the law, had no criminal intent.
The True Hell and Heaven Proposition
Editor of Turt Nza York Ack:
Our fathers used to say: "A false report can travel forty leagues while the true report is piling its boots out." The water of this article and recent, and incidentally among other things, that intelligent people do not believe in a material bell, a material brace, or universal bodily incarnation. The reporters of these words, perhaps to "bowl down" (or to boil over) things dropped the words "matter" and the word "bodily" and reported: "It does not boil, no heaven, no reurrection."
That is just as it we should say: "There is no golden moon" and some fellow would report: "Pachira says there is no moon."
Most of the intelligent and all of the younger preachers we know, say also that these things are not material, but that they are spiritual. So we did not regard ourselves as giving out any new information.
In the last twenty years we have heard, we suppose, thousands of ministers use these terms, and none of the intelligent ones ever spoke of a fire-and-brimstone hell or a golden-streeted heaven, except as figures of speech. People will learn by and by that it is risky to comment on any important report, unless we first verify the exactness of the report. To leave out an important qualifying word of a proposition, is to change the proposition, it is to make another proposition—and And the Germans say: "Life are like snowballs—the further one rolls them, the bigger they grow."

COMPANY TO HANDLE
COLORED PLAYERS
Seeks Control of Circuit of
Twenty Theatres and
Companies.
The Syndicate Attractions' Circuit, Inc. recently granted a charter by the Secretary of State, Albany, with a capital of $100,000, represents the conurbation of plans which have been under way for a year looking to the organizing of colored theatrical organizations and the剧院 catering to colored audiences, throughout the territory from New York to Virginia, and reaching out to Boston, Pittsburgh, Chicago and intermediate cities. According to published reports, the new organization will have its headquarters in New York with Robt. Levy, formerly of the Lafayette Theatre, as president. It is planned that the circuit will embrace twenty houses affording forty weeks of playing time, the companies playing the route twice each season.
Levy has signed up the Attacks Theatre, Norfolk, Va.; the Douglass Theatre, Baltimore; the Howard Theatre Washington; the Howard Theatre Richmond, and the Lincoln Theatre Newport News, Va. houses which he already controls. Other houses being negotiated for are alleged to be the Lafayette, New York; Avenue, Chicago; Koppen, Detroit; Dunbar, Philadelphia; Globe, Cleveland, and houses in Kansas City, Boston, St. Louis and possibly some cities further South. It is said that the new organization will begin operations about June I, the companies playing on percentage shares except in St. Louis but our drama's and musical shows but that feature has not been densely settled. Report it by it that J. H. Herk of the Allihated Booking Corporation, the booking concern that handled the routing of the Shubert units, will become general manager of the new colored circuit.

Commonwealth Is Swamped In Two Games By Loendi; Pittsburgers Are Champs
Commonwealth Is Swamped In Two Games By Loendi; Pittsburgers Are Champs
Rivalry Between Two Leading Colored Basketball Teams Settled By Games Played on Each Team's Home Court in Pittsburgh and New York.
(By W, E. CLARK).
All doubt as to which team is colored champions of the world was dispelled on Friday night, March 16, and the following Sunday night, when the Loendi Five of Pittsburgh won overwhelming victories over the Commonwealth Big Five of this city. The first game was played in Pittsburgh and was won by a score of 51-27. The latter game, played at the Commonwealth Casino here, was won by a score of 43-33.
About six years ago the Pittsburgh team annexed the title, "Colored Champions of the World," and immediately New York teams, which consider themselves the best in the country, issued challenges to the Pittsburghers. They have been challenging each year since, but have not been successful in winning from the Loendi's, although they have come close to it on several occasions.
This year the Commonwealth team, with a record of ninety games played, and only about fifteen lost, had raised new hopes in the breaches of the basketball fans of Harlem. Up to the Celtic game a few weeks ago, experts rated the team above that of any colored team in the country, but an unaccountable slump followed this game, and the team seems to have lost much of its confidence and speed.
The Celtics, who was present, gave the local team a lecturer, and they fought the second half much harder than before. Several fouls and three field goals by Fial brought the score up to within five points of their opponents, but the score did not remain close long, for Sessoms again got away and shot several goals, and other goals by Posey and Betts again gave Loendi a safe margin. During the last few minutes of play, the winning team killed as much time as possible by passing the ball around without attempting to shoot. The final score of the game was 43-33.
The game was rough and fast throughout. Frank Forbes, who likes nothing better than a rough game, was the best player for the local team, while Sessoms and Young were the stars for the
The Loendi team, nevertheless, performed an unusual feat, in that although all five its members are veterans of more than five years each on the court, the team played a faster game, and more scientific, than New Yorkers ever saw them play before. In the game at the Commonwealth on Sunday night, Loendi took the lead from the first, and scored nine field goals to one by the Commonwealth. A feature of this half was three straight field goals by Sessions, who played all around Slocum. Forbes, who played Poppy, seemed to be the only member of the local team playing up to standard. The score at the end of the first half was 23-8 in favor of the Loendi team.
Shuffle Along Co. No. 3 is in their second week at the Lafayette doing big business. It is reported that they go to the Prospect Theatre in the Bronx after finishing this date.
The '7-11' show goes in to rehearsing this week. They expect to have a summer run in this city.
The Debutantes Follies expects to be the best show that has been staged by society's local talent.
A nice picture was received by the C. V. B. A. from Lee and Vandike who are playing the Pantages jime. More will be said in our next issue.
AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE

This is a delightful picture with a timely theme, produced according to the most este de Mille standards. The masterpiece case is assembled for the picture one of the best in his successful career as a motion picture director.
The supporting roles are filled by such well-known players as Adolphe Menjou, Winter Hall, Brandon Hurst, Bernice Frank, Maym Kelso, George Kuwa and James Neill.
Will Marion Cook at the Lafayette Theatre

He will present his all-star entertainers, including his incomparable orchestra. His show also includes a number of bewitching and talented singers and dancers, and the class of entertainment he will offer can hardly be missed in the city. Not only will Harlemettes entertain large numbers to welcome Cook's return home, but friends and music lovers from other sections of the city will also visit the Lafayette in large numbers next week.
"Liza" Concert, March 25, At Renaissance Casino
One of the most talked of dances of the season is being staged at the Renaissance Casino Sunday night, March 25. The affair is being staged by Macro Pinkard, composer of the song, "Liza," and other lyrics in the Broadway success by the same name.
Numerous stars, including Rodolph Valentino and Al Jolson have promised to be present, and the "Honey Girls" of the "Liza" company will be there. Pinkard will introduce several new songs of his own composition.
Music will be furnished by the Liza orchestra.
Odd Fellows Stage Boxing Benefit at Madison Square
One of the biggest colored boxing benefits of the season is being staged at Madison Square Garden on April 6, for the benefit of the Odd Fellows building fund of Staten Island. The show is being staged by M. McLevy of the Madison Square Garden. The committee include the District Grand Master, Harry J. Edwards and J. C. Twine of Staten Island.
the Celtics, who was present, gave the local team a lecturer, and they fought the second half much harder than before. Several fouls and three field goals by Fial brought the score up to within five points of their opponents, but the score did not remain close long, for Sessions again got away and shot several goals, and other goals by Posey and Betts again gave Loendi a safe margin. During the last few minutes of play, the winning team killed as much time as possible by passing the ball around without attempting to shoot. The final score of the game was 43.33.
The game was rough and fast throughout. Frank Forbes, who likes nothing better than a rough game, was the best player for the local team, while Sessions and Young were the stars for the Pittsburghers. The crowd which witnessed the game has only been surpassed this season by that which attended the Celtic game.
The summary was as follows:
Commonwealth (33) Loendi (41)
Fial R. F. Posey
Jenkins L. F. Ricks
Slocum Sessoms
Hubbard R. G. Betts
Forbes L. G. Young
Field goals—Commonwealth's: Fial 4.

NEW COLORED TRACK
STARS UNCOVERED IN
FINAL INDOOR MEET
Several new colored high school tracers men came into prominence at the last indoor meet of the season, held under the auspices of the Princeton Club of New York at the 22nd Regiment armory on Saturday night, March 17. Stuveyant High School was the winner of the point trophy largely through the efforts of Hernandez, a colored member of the relay team.
On the previous Saturday Hernandez competed as a notice, for the first time, in the 300-yard race. He won by such good time that the Stuveyant coach immediately put him on the graduating class relay team. In the six-lap relay race on Saturday, Hernandez ran as anchor man, and although his team was behind when, he started, he forced to the front and won by five yards, winning individual cups for each member of the team.
Cunningham of De Witt Clinton another new comer, was the winner of the first heat in the 300-yard novice race, but was boxed in the final heat, winning second place. With Summons, a high jumper of De Witt Clinton, it appears that the fame won by Figuero, Cook and Handy last year will be continued this year.
JUNIOR SPORTS RECORD
(By JAMES, WARD)
At St. Mark's Hall on March 15, the fast St. Mark's Flashes nosed out the St. C. Red and Black Machine 34-32. This game was furious all the way through, bt St. Marks managed to hold their lead. The victors led at half time 17-14.
In the preliminary game the St. Marks Jr. Girls met the St. Benedict Girls and defended them to the overwhelming score of 27-2. The score at half time was 23-2 with the downtown girls on the short and them. These girls have fine ability and with proper coaching should later develop into a faster team to have a say about the championship. The Garcia sisters, Edith and Alma, together with Dorothy Scott, played exceptional parts in the victory.
On Friday, March 16 at the same Hall, the New York Academy Girls met and defeated the Salem Crescent Girls to the score of 27-11. The win-

Morehouse Defeats' Clark University in First Base-Ball Game of the Season
Atlanta, GA. - On March 10, the Morehouse Tigers opened its Laskah season with a 17-0 victory over the Clark University team. Much interest was attached to this game as it brought back the appearance of "Big Bud Bryant" of Morehouse', who for two years has gathered up enough speed and fight to hold his opponents for five innings without a hit.
Credit for the victory is not due any one player as the entire Morehouse team showed mid-season form. But the outstanding features of the game were the fielding of Fykes of Cork, and Rogers of Morehouse, the batting of the entire Tiger team, and the pitching of Bryant; and Hartley of Morehouse.
Morehouse Baseball Nine
Wins From Morris Brown
Atlanta, Ga. Before a large and enthusiastic crowd of spectators, the Morrison Tigers defeated Morris Brown in a well played baseball game he on Saturday, March 12. Both teams showed midseason form and gave an exhibition of real baseball. Morrison held the lead throughout the entire game, Morris Brown played a good top half game. Clark doing mound duty with Maxwell on the receiving end proved too much for the Purple and Black Machine. The final score was 0-3 for the Tigers.
McTigue Awarded Decision Over Battling Siki, But Black Fighter Keeps Title
English Experts Declare Fight Was at Catchweights, Consequently Championship Title Was Not at Stake —McTigue Kept Away From Sikd.
(Special to The New York Post)
Dublin, Ireland—Battling Skii, who won the light heavyweight championship of the world from George Carpenter in Paris last fall, was defeated by Mike McTigue in a twenty-round bout here on St. Patrick's Day. The fight was tame and was witnessed by only 1500 people. McTigue, a clever boxer, who has fought all over the United States and Canada, outpointed the Senegalese fighter and kept out of reach of many of Skii's dangerous punches. During the early rounds of the fight Skii tried many times with long and dangerous right and left swings, but few of them landed. McTigue used a left jab on the colored fighter throughout the bout and in the clinches seemed to get in the better blows. In the eleventh round the first blood was drawn by Skii, when a slight gash was made on the Irishman's forehead. In the twelfth round the French fighter tried hard to get in a knockout punch, but McTigue's ability to side
A. & T. Wins First Base Ball Game of the Season
Greenbore, N. C.—The A. & T. baseball team won its first regular game of the season, defeating High Point Normal School, 9-5, last week. Both teams played well; but it was evident at the outset that A. & T. had the edge on the visitors. The latter started off by scoring two runs after two were out in the first inning, but did not hold the lead long. A. & T. soon gained the lead by hitting the opposing pitcher hard, and kept it.

step kept him out of danger. After the fourteenth round, the Irish began to take the offensive and forcing the fight to the finish was the decision. McTigue is a Canadian middle weight, and although he never reached the championship class in America he defeated some of the best in American middleweights, in Panama Joe Gans, considered by the cleverest fighter of his wrestling in the United States. Siki came into prominence in September 24, 1922, when he moved to Carpenter in Paris for the heavyweight title of the world and heavyweight title of Europe. He was born in Senegal, Africa, in 1922, has engaged in 47 fights, winning but three.

In The Realm of Music
By Lucian H. White
Second Recital By Harlem Orchestra Is Interesting
Director Anderson Handicapped By Changing Personnel, But Performance Indicates the Possibility of Eventual Advance to Symphonic Proportions.
qualifying to observe an increase in the number of listeners at the annual recital of the Harlem Orchestra, the new organization of col- organizationalists, conducted by E. Gilbert Anderson, which is presenting a symphonic proportions once a month during five months. The recital, on Sunday afternoon, February 18, here a promise which constituted by this last effort. For the first time, as has been said, its effort is being made by Negro musicians to compose the scope of that reaches into the higher realms of artistic endeavor. For Director Anderson and his associates deserve the strongest commen- could have the support of all who have at heart race artistic develop- welcome and healthy sign that there can be gotten together a group though it may be in numbers, who are willing to give the time necessary to such a movement—a movement which must find its reward investment, for there is no financial increment to be gained through such under these conditions, keeping in mind that the colored musician, economic necessity, is restricted in his freedom of action by the his engagement book, it is not surprising that Director Anderson presents the same ensemble in two successive engagements.
according to information received Sunday afternoon, some of the musicians making up the orchestra were not secured until the day before, and some of the music played was not seen by them until actually on the platform until putting the orchestra on the stage instead of the floor was a situation. In this connection, however, the better sound projection thus secured emphasize tonal discrepancies in some of the choirs. This applied to the wood wind and to the cornetis, and obtained throughout the first program. A low pitched piano contributed also to this condition. As a intermission, this defect was not discoverable and there was in consequence a decided improvement in the quality of tone produced.
For this second recital, Conductor Anderson presented a program of considerably more weight than was given last month. Two numbers used in the first recital were repeated, i.e., the first movement of Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 in C major, opus 21, to which was added the second movement (conductor) and Brahms's Hungarian Dance, No. 5. Other numbers in the first part of the program included the sonorous march from Verdi's "Aida," a selection from Pelle "Bohemian Girl," and the overture from Mozart's "Marriage of Elisabeth."
The second part, opening with Mendelssohn's Priest's March from "Athalia," and closing with the popular and exciting "Post and Pendant" overture, by Suppe, presented the soloist of the afternoon, Joseph Edward Lymas, violinist, the orchestra's concert master. Mr. Lymas played "Adoration" by Borowski, and the familiar and popular "Zegumerweisen." Sarasate's group of sprightly Gypsy aits. Mr. Lymas showed temperament of unusual degree, producing a tone that was colorful and alluring. But his attack at times was too rough and there was too much slurring in his bowing of rapid passages. The violinist gave evidence of unusual talent and there is little excuse for sloven performance when it is possible to do better. The accompaniments were played by A. Harrington Gibba. Mr. Anderson gave an interesting reading of the program, but his best efforts were in the Brahm's number and the Suppe overture. There was more clarity in interpretation, more flexibility in attack, a greater validity in dynamic color, and a keener appreciation of nuance. In the Beethoven Symphony, there was biggity of tempo and coldness of tone, and besides there was no apprehension to bring out and emphasize the theme which the great master has interwoven throughout the musical structure, so that most of the time it was completely lost amid the intricacies of the elaborations woven around it by the accompanying instruments.
In fairness to Mr. Anderson, however, it must be stated that of twenty-eight men who played in the first recital, only nine were in the orchestra for the second production. And, as stated before, some of those taking part were secured at the eleventh hour. This is a handicap no conductor can overcome. There must be some opportunity for preliminary study of the program numbers and their rendering. The famous symphony orchestras of the country are made up of men who practice eight to ten hours daily, week in and week out, and as such gain a familiarity with the scores similar to that of the graded school pool with the alphabet. And the conductor, directing these rehearsals, has opportunity not only to learn as to his players' abilities but also to impress upon them his individuality.
We remain three more recitals in the series, scheduled for Sunday afternoon, May 8, May 20 and June 17. Announcement made by the Singers and Lovers, Deacon Johnson, manager, which is promoting and managing their recitals is that C. Carroll Clark, baritone, will be the soloist for the April recital. It is hoped that music lovers and patrons will make reservations for rooms or boxes at earliest convenient date that the management may make a list of boxholders and guarantors.
A parting suggestion to the management is the advice to preoofread the program more carefully. Several egregious errors marked Sunday's program for which it is difficult to find excuse. It is "cantabile," not "cantibile," and all the authorities spell it "Brahms" not "Brahms."

Wagner's "Meistersinger"

Mr. White added of his own compositions, "Caprice", "Cabin Song", and "Spiritual". He said in his letter: "Am living quietly and incidentally getting in more work in composition."
"While on this tour, Mr. White, played at Tuskegee Institute. One of the school publications, The Staff, carried a story of the recital, written in such a breezy, interesting style, that the temptation to share it with readers of The Age cannot be resisted. It reads as follows:
"When the recital was over, some one stepped up and said to Mr. White with ardor, 'It was just enough and not too much and all very delightful.'"
"In the midst of a week full of musical attractions, the quiet melody of beautifully-mated violin and piano was refreshing and satisfying with its simple sweetness. Mr. White in his former recitals at Tuskegee may have played more brilliantly—on this occasion he was in the midst of convalescence from a serious surgical operation which he had undergone in November—but his music was never more satisfying or more thoroughly enjoyable than at his last recital.
"Aside from his art, Mr. White has
Henry B. Krohfeld
Music Critic of the
N. Y. Tribune, Dead
Ngro Music has lost a distinguished friend. Henry Edward Krebbler, for 43 years the music editor of the New York Tribune, died Tuesday, March 20, a few moments past 2:30 o'clock, after a brief illness. His 69th birthday was on March 10.
Not only was Mr. Krebbler the dean of New York's music critics, but he was also the most distinguished writer on musical subjects in America. His interest covered every phase of musical endeavor.
Negro music is especially indebted to him, for his researches and studies of Negro folk song led to the writing of an unusually authoritative volume, "Afro-American Folk Songs," published by Schirmer in 1914. This work brought to the world a knowledge of the Negro folk song it had never possessed and stamped with authority the right of Negro music to be classed as America's native music.
Henry E. Krehbiel was born March 10, 1854, at Ann Arbor, Mich., but during his boyhood the family moved to Ohio. In 1874 he became musical editor and critic of the Cincinnati Gazette, and in 1879 he came to the New York Tribune. He lived at 152 West 105th street, and died at Roosevelt Hospital.
a most engaging personality, and in playing there is a 'blending of his art and personality that has an appeal that is almost irrealisable. There is that about it which makes you feel, not that he is performing for the display of his gifts, but rather that he is playing because he likes it, and more than that, because you like to hear it.
"It is this personal appeal that constitutes the charm of his recitals and it was felt the more keenly when, as the last number of his program, he gave a group of his own compositions, including his transcription of 'Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen' which has been made nationally popular by the great Austrian violinist, Fritz Kreisler.
"Besides his distinction as a violinist, Mr. White bears the additional distinction of being president of the National Association of Negro Musicians, an organization of which he is one of the founders and with which, also, the Music Lovers Club of Tuskegee Institute is affiliated. In recognition of this fact, the Music Lovers Club held a special meeting on Monday evening following the recital at home of Mrs. W. T. B. Williams with Miss M. E. Saurez as hostess.
"At the meeting, Mr. White outlined before the group the program of the National Association as drafted last summer in the annual meeting at Columbus, Ohio, at the same time, brightening his discussion with Fredi and illuminating anecdotes about Negro musicians who have achieved distinction. Our Music Lovers Club is an active supporter of the National, of which the local president, Mrs. Alice Carter Simmons, is secretary-treasurer, and of which also the chairman of the local executive committee is a member of the National Advisory Board. The club sends each year one or more delegates to the annual meeting.
"During his stay at Tuskegee, Mr. White was the house-guest of his long-time friends, Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Battey, Mr. Battey having had a large share in the development of Mr. White's early career in music.
Morehouse Music Clubs Render Annual Recital
Atlanta, Ga.—The annual concert of Morehouse College glee club and orchestra, Kemper Harrell, director, was held in Sale Hall Chapel, on the college campus, on Friday evening, March 16. It was dedicated to the memory of the late Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, whose work in developing higher musical aspiration in the race took her frequently to Morehouse College, as it did to scores of other centers of learning throughout the country.
The glee club of forty, including eight first tenors, seven second tenors, twelve first bassos, twelve second bassos, with Robert Brown as pianist, sang three groups—Chadwick's Viking Song; "Has sorrowy thy young days shaded?" (an Irish folk song); "Down to the River Jordan" and "My soul is a witness" (Negro Spirituals); Bruno Huhn's "Invictus" and "College Song."
The orchestra of thirty-four gave three orchestral groups and played the accompaniment for a cornet and two vocal solos. The William Tell Overture (Rossini) was the opening number, and Drigo's Valse Bluette, Sonsa's "Drifting to Loveland," and Rokledo's Chimps Waltz were also played. Oscar Hall sang Morgan's "Love is a bubble," C Wendell Holmes played a Melody (Penn) as a cornet solo, and Alfred Jackson-Rigell sang Mah Lindy Lue, supported each by the orchestra. A quartet, composer of W. G. Valentine and Willis James, tenors, and Andrew Taylor, and Sanford Dumson, bassos, sang "By the waters of Mimetonka (Lieurance), Annie Laurie (Buck), and When shall we meet again?" (Whiting). Other numbers were "Thou art risen, my Beloved" (Coleridge-Taylor) by Sanford Dumson, basso; Czardas—Hungarian Melodies (Moni) by John Hervey Wheeler, violinist; "Since you went away" (Johnson) by Levi Terrell, tenor; "My heart calls you in vain" (Wm. G. Valentine. 24 words by Willis James, 23) and "Homing" (Del Riego) by Willis James, tenor.

Seldom do we down this far get a chance to hear such artist's work. We have had during the season recitals by Clarence Cameron White, Sidney Woodward and Stoney Williams, the last named a violinist. We are blessed in having a $10,000 pipe organ, a beautiful auditorium, which seats one thousand persons. The work goes very smoothly, which makes us quite happy.

•NEWS OF THE CHURCHES•
Mother A. M. E. Zion.
The pastor, Rev. Dr. J. W. Brown, took for his subject, "Heaven" (Rev 21:1). He stated that while some claim that there is no Heaven or hell, yet the Bible teaches that there is a heaven. He quoted passages of scripture which teach that heaven is both a place and a state. He declared that faith was a gift from God and it must be exercised to have religion. He spoke of the doctrine of the atonement, the incarnation, the virgin birth, and the resurrection as fundamentals of religion, and that there was mysticism in religion which could not be reasoned out of science. If so, we would have a philosophy and not a religion. The speaker further stated that the text did not teach that this world was to be destroyed by fire, that it was to be made new. No longer a world of silt and sorrow, no longer a place under the curse of God, but a new home. The former things, death, sorrow, sickness, misery, would all pass away. Its inhabitants would be new creatures, with new bodies. Everything was to be changed, mobility to put immortality, and corruptible to become incorruptible. The springtime affords a striking illustration of the making of things new. Here he gave many vivid pictures of heaven, and the satisfying condition that obtains throughout its vast domain.
During the delivery of the entire sermon, the congregation listened with breathless attention. The sermon was indeed a masterpiece, and there was everywhere visible demonstrations that it was effective. At the conclusion of the sermon, while the choir sang, ten persons were received into the church. The Sunday-school convened at 2 o'clock. The attendance was very creditable indeed. Following the lesson study period, the Easter music was rehearsed. The Sunday-school is planning a moving picture entertainment by the Juliet Film Motion Picture Co. on Wednesday, April 4, at 8:30 p. m., a tened picture of the life of Moses.
At 8 o'clock the pastor preached the 15th anniversary sermon to Eureka Temple, No. 22, Daughters of Elks. A large number of invited guests were present, including grand lodge officers, and officers and members of local lodges and temples. The speaker spoke of the growth of Elkdom, and its spirit of liberality. Though younger, than many other fraternal organizations, it was securing for itself a place in the vanguard of fraternalism among our people. Offering so the church was $104.
Next Sunday, Palm Sunday, at 10:45 a. m., the pastor will preach in the auditorium, and the assistant pastor in the lecture room. At 4 p. m., Lyceum hodh, Morgan Day celebration by New York Alumni of Morgan College. Rev. P. O. Connell, president of Morgan College, will speak, and a musical and literary program will be given. At 8 p. m., sermon to Ladies Aid Society, Mrs. Lucy Freeman, president. Palm branches will be distributed to all persons who worship with us on that day.

First Emmanuel Church
Sunday being Holy Communion, many attended both morning and evening services. In the morning, owing to Dr. Bolden having to preach elsewhere, Dr. George W. Carter of the New York Bible Society preached. His talk was from I Peter, 1:24-25, "For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away; but the Word of the Lord endureth forever. And this is the Word which by the gospel is preached unto you." At the close of Dr. Carter's short talk on this subject, he gave a short review of the work being done by the New York Bible Society.
Sunday-school was opened at the usual hour, 2 o'clock, by Superintendent Hogans. The leasen study was interesting, as the young minds are being turned towards God more than ever during this lenten season. At 3.30 a few members gathered and had a short meeting; those who spoke were Miss Copeland, Mrs. Lockett and Mrs. Talte. At 4.30 the Literary Society convened, the S. M. and I. Society having the program, with William Coleman as master of ceremonies. The program was as follows: Quartet, Messra, Ballou, Townsend, Brown and Coleman; recitation, Mr. ownsend; chorus by the men; solo, W. Coleman; paper, Mr. Ballou; quartet by the men; address, Rev. R. M. Bolder; chorus by the men.
The evening service was interesting and uplifting. Pastor Bolden spoke from the life of Jacob, his subject beeing, "Surely the Lord is in this place and I knew it not." Pastor Bolden gave a descriptive story of the life of Esau and Jacob, from the earliest time of their existence up to the time when Jacob stole his brother's birthright. Communion was served at both morning and evening services.
Dinner was served during the day by members of the Bible class and quite a sum was given to the church from the same.
Services will be held at the church on Good Friday. Everyone is invited to come and worship with us.
Much attention is to be given this week by the members of the church to thinking on the suffering of our Lord, and also to thinking of His glorified body which arose and dwells in each and every individual heart who will have it so. On Palm Sunday all are requested to come early and get the palm which will be given out by Pastor Bolden.
St. James Presbyterian.
The services at St. James Presbyterian Church are being attended by the largest congregations in recent years. Dr. Hyder is preaching a series of sermons on the "Things that are generally misunderstood by the masses."
Last Sunday at the morning service the theme was "How thinking of the new Jerusalem will help us endure the injustices of the present life." The text was taken from Hebrews 11:27. Dr. Hyder said, among other things, that "Life to be worthwhile must be directed with reference to the future;" he warned against the false philosophy that says, "All that people need is a type of Christianity that helps men to live now," when the true philosophy of life is that the present is to be lived and interpreted in terms of the future; this was taught by Jesus when he said, "Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for that food which endureth unto everlasting life which the Son of an shall give you."

In The New Age of March 10, several inaccurate statements were made in reference to the commemoration of the birth of Peter Ogden, founder of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and founder. This article stated that the celebration was held on March 2, when in reality it was held on March 1. It was also erroneously stated that the title of the property purchased by the order for the erection of a memorial hall to Ogden was vested in the District Grand Lodge, which is located in 244 West 135th street in The Headquarters Building Association of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, state of New York, Inc. This property consists of six houses, which will be demolished when the organization begins building operations on the property.

Utopia Neighborhood Club Apologizes to Hope Day Nursery for Mistake
A history of the Utopia Neighborhood Club was read at a birthday party given by the club at New Star Casino in November, 1922. The *Crisis* complimented the club on its 11 years of usefulness and asked to publish an account of the crisis, including the publication, appeared the following paragraph:
"In 1916, Mrs. Reed, our president, who at that time was president of the board of managers of Hope Day Nursery, appealed to the individual members of the board to help raise funds for the Nursery. Seventeen members of the Utopia responded to aid fourteen members of the board of managers of the Nursery, all serving as captains. By this bit of cooperation, $3,000 was raised free this deserving institution from indulgence and paying off the mortgage on the building."
Unfortunately, the editor of the *Crisis*, in cutting the article for publication, had the above paragraph in the current issue to read: "In 1916, the Utopia Club raised $3,000 to pay off the mortgage of Long Day Nursery". This statement routine.
The campaign of 1916 was run under the direction of the board of managers of Hope Day Nursery and as stated in the original paragraph, a large number of individual members of the Utopia Trust. This group placed in the history of the club, because during the time of the campaign so many members were actively engaged in the campaign that this work was included as the club's activities for that period. The Utopia Neighborhood Club regrets the publishing of such a statement and immediately wrote the board of managers of Hope Day Nursery, expressing their regret and humiliation at the publication of a statement which savored of taking credit for work not actually done by the club, and offered to correct the mistake. The club hands for cooperation and has gladly helped every institution or organization which has appealed to it for help, especially those working to promote the welfare of our children. We appreciate the work of Hope Day Nursery in caring for the child of the working mother, and we recognize the continued success and larger opportunity for usefulness.

"Y" Offers Girl's Chance Both For Work and Play
The demand in the Employment Department for power machine operators, of which we spoke last week, continues to increase. This is an opportunity to hold and to regain our place in the factories and shops and we want to work with them. Our Converse in the operating of huttonhole, bonnar and plain power machines are offered here in the Y. W. C. A. The work is quickly and easily learned and the fees are extremely small. There is an excellent opportunity for girls to work in this field of work. The district is in overflowing with girls who can last Thursday night to hear Miss Margaret Slattery speak on the subject, "When Your Ship Comes In". Miss Slattery's talks to girls are interest-compelling and inspiring. The lecture was in charge of the New York City Mimic, and our Girl Guard and Beau-Xarts members had the pleasure of attending.
And while we are speaking of girls, are you a girl over eighteen? Are you interested in dramatics? Do you like to sing? Can you play any kind of instrument, or would you like to learn? Could you like to gain tenure in practice? Can you design costumes or scenery for plays? Can you sketch? And if you are not specially interested in any of these things, would you like to be one of a large jolly group of girls who have all kinds of good times together? Then you should join the Beaux-Arts Club. We have a meeting every day night at R40. Come to visit and play at the death of Miss Annie Williams of the November Club is a real loss to her friends.

St. Lukes Episcopal Mission
Interest in the services at St. Luke's Mission continues unabated and each service the capacity of the mission is taxed to its intermost.
Last Sunday a large number partook of the Holy Communion at 8 o'clock, welcoming every available space was taken to 3rd Faith, 3rd verse: "Wait on the Lord, and keep His way." Dr. Wood showed that absolute dependence upon God was necessary to a successful life, because the soul is God's possession. And we must serve Him with all heart, mind, soul and body. He showed that the reason we live so often fail in our efforts is because we cannot take possession of us. Although an unreal and magnifying thing yey it is the greatest weapon in the hands of the devil to defeat our best efforts in life. Fear paralyzes our efforts and chills our aspiration for higher and better things and keeps us from reaching a higher plane of thought and Serenity. We were filled with bright faced happy children and the teachers were learning with interest in their charges.
At 8 p.m., the Mission was again filled. The choir sang soul-stirring music, and the vicar told of the great missionary field white for the harvest. The day closed upon a happy and great church with a generous offering for the work. Palm Sunday services will be appropriate.
Rev. C. K. Gilbert, executive secretary of the diocese, will preach next week. Rev. W. T. Walsh delivered an impressive and helpful sermon last Wednesday night.
It is expected that the Easter offering will be large to be used for the extension of the rapidly growing work of the mission.

Fleet St. Zion Church.
The "Master's direct invitation to the common people, vs. Christ's direct appeal to the masses," was the theme from which Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor, spoke Sunday morning. The day was quarterly many days before the charge registration was present during the entire day. The only thing that prevented a quarterly meeting as of yore, when people travelled far to be present and brought their dinners, is due to the newly installed modern kitchen and dining room where meals are prepared and brought to the presiding elder, Dr. L. G. Mason, preached at 3 p.m. at time Communion was administered. His theme was "The gifts of God." At 7.45 the pastor preached again. His theme was "The riches and poverty of life." The sermons throughout the day were forceful and in keeping with the occasion. The quarterly conference was postponed to March 27, in order
