Negro Students Will Be Admitted at Princeton Indicated By President (Special To The New York Age) Princeton, N. J.-From statements made in addresses during the past year by the President of Princeton University, it is believed that qualified Negro students will be accepted in that institution. Indications are that a new spirit of unity is being developed in this city between white and colored citizens and the student body at Princeton. The general attitude is that deserving Negro students, prepared to pass the entrance examinations at Princeton, will be admitted to the student body. Commission To Decision As Dempsey-Wills Bout J.

Brooklyn Woman Burned To Death In Early Morning Fire Which Swept Dwelling Was Not Aroused By Cries of Warning and Was Found Dead When Firemen Succeeded in Entering Room—Husband Was Found Unconscious and May Die Also. Trapped in their room by flames that enveloped the two-story frame dwelling at 154 Lorimer street, Brooklyn. Mrs. Mabel Hendricks was burned to death and her husband, Roy, so seriously injured that he may die. The fire occurred early Saturday morning, June 9, starting in the rear hallway on the first floor, and spreading through the building with such rapidity that the firemen had to throw water into the house for several minutes before they could get to the Hendricks' rooms. Mrs. Margaret Hylier, living alone on the first floor, discovered the fire when she was awakened by the heat. Her screams awakened Samuel Coleman, who lived on the second floor, and he, with his wife and four children, managed to escape to the street. Coleman turned in an alarm. When the firemen arrived, they were told that nothing had been seen of the Hendricks, and it was apparent that the couple had not heard the warning cries. When the firemen succeeded in making entrance to the rooms occupied by the Hendricks, Mrs. Hendricks was dead and Roy Hendricks was unconscious. He was taken to St. Caratherine's Hospital. The building was damaged to the extent of $5,000. GARVEY'S TRIAL IS PROCEEDING SLOWLY TOWARDS ITS CLOSING Small Early Morning In 135th St. Excuse for Accused Former Vice-President of Being a "Jinx" To the Black Star Line. BRINGS WOMAN'S NAME INTO HIS QUESTIONS The trial of Marcus Garvey, President-General of the U. N. I. A., and Provisional President of Africa, on charges of using the federal mails to defraud in selling Black Star Line stock, drags on apace in the Federal District Court, before Judge Julius W. Mack and a jury. Garvey during the past week has been introducing witnesses for the defense. Fredrick A. Toote, International Organizer, former President of the U. N. I. A., testified that although there was only $1880 cash in bank still the Black Star Line had money enough to put up a $25,000 deposit with the United States, Shipping Board for the purchase of a ship. Other witnesses included George O. Marke of Sierra Leone, West Africa, Supreme Deputy; Howard Kirth, president of Chicago local U. N. I. A., and former head of the Washington branch; "Sir" James O'Meally, Spanish Master of Calabar College, Jamaica, who was sent by the U. N. I. A., as a delegate to the League of Nations; or Orlando M. Thompson, Vice-President of the Black Star Line, who was on the stand all day Saturday and part of Monday; and Mrs. Carol Gwendreyn Campbell, formerly stenographer to Vice-President Thompson. In examining Thompson, Garvey seemed to be trying to show that the Vice-President was really a "jinx" to the Black Star Line. Thompson has testified that his powers in the company were limited, in effect to the "proposal end, with Garvey looking after the "disposal" end. Garvey tried through his questions to bring an admission from Thompson that the latter really caused the downfall of the steamship line, and to show that Thompson had "sent other companies bank-runt," but Judge Mack ruled this out. In his testimony, Thompson had referred to the stenographer, Mrs. Campbell (nee McDonald) by her maiden name: After Judge Mack ruled out the questions by which Garvey hoped to prove Thompson a "jinx" to the company, the President-General turned to his subordinate's personal conduct. "That woman, Miss McDonald, you referred to," shouted Garvey, "is she the young lady you were locked up in your office with, so the doors had to be broken down to get you?" "No, no," retorted the witness, showing pique. "Are you still a teacher with your Sunday school?" Garvey asked, his questions barbed with sarcasm. The witness' answer was drowned by laughter. Judge Mack, hoped to end the trial this week, but it appears doubtful. Colored Middleweight Championship Bout To Be Held at Atlanta, Ga. (Special To The New York Age) Atlanta, Ga.—Arrangements have been completed for a return bout between Panama Joe Gans of New York and Tiger Flowers of this city for the colored middleweight championship of the world. Gans has been the colored champion (for several years and is the holder of the Tex Rickard diamond belt, emblematic of the championship. In a recent bout with Flower: in Toledo, Ohio, Gans lost the decision on points, but as the bout was not for the championship, he still retains the title. According to Walker Miller, manager of Flowers, Gans is to receive the largest guarantee of his career for this bout.

Several policemen rushed out and one fired several shots to awaken the occupants of the building, but the fire department responded promptly and the blaze was put out before any serious damage had been done to any other apartment except that of Mrs. Daide.

Attorney Nutter is charged with having appeared in the dual capacity of bondman and attorney for two alleged confidence men, who failed to appear for trial. Then it developed that the property offered by Nutter as security for the bond was not owned by him. He had formerly owned the house but was only agent for the present owners when he signed the bail bond. It also is alleged that this house was the scene of the plot laid by the two confidence men in their attempt to swindle Wm.

As the fire was promptly put out, eye witnesses were surprised to read the heroism of these police, as they did not see any evidence of unusual happenings. The damage was done principally to one room in the Daide apartment and the tenants in the other part of the building did not have to leave their apartments. Some did not even wake up until the fire was out. 7TH DIST. MUNICIPAL COURT IS NOW ONE OF BUSIEST IN THE CITY Clerk Michigan Brown Renders Valuable Aid To Members of Race Seeking Advice. One of the busiest Municipal Courts in the city is the 7th District Court at 360 West 125th street, at St. Nicholas avenue which has grown from fifty summonses filed monthly when it was established twenty-six years ago to an average of 1,000 per month at the present time. The yearly receipts have increased from $400 to $50,00 in trial fees. The cases, handled here are all civil cases involving amounts up to $1,000, and most of the colored people who have cases of this nature go into this court. Valentine J. Hahn, Republican leader of the 13th Assembly District, is the chief clerk of the 7th District Court. He has been connected with this court since it was first established, starting as an attendant and working up to his present position. He has six clerks under him, one of whom is Michigan C. Brown, a captain in the 8th election district of the 19th A. D. Although Mr. Brown has been a clerk in this court only since November 1922, he is now one of its most valuable assets. He has complete charge of all notices of cases for trial or on appeal. In addition to this work, he is sought out by many of the colored people who frequent the court for advice on all kinds of legal matters. He has shown a disposition to help those in need along this line, and has also won favor with his co-workers for his pleasant personality and faithfulness to his work. He is a native of Montgomery, Ala., a member of the Clubmen's Beneficial League, a regular attendant at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, and active in Central Republican Club. In 1920 this court became famous throughout the state for handling 26,000 rent cases. Although the number of these cases have decreased by more than fifty per cent, 200 dispossess cases are handled weekly. In most of these cases the landlord is endeavoring to evict the old tenant in order to get a new tenant at a higher rental. Because of the shortage of apartments, the tenants are given the benefit of the doubt in these cases. The decisions are rendered on a basis of a net return of eight per cent. on the amount of money invested. The impression among the attendents and those connected with this court is that the colored landlords are more oppressive and profiteering than the whites. Rev. W: P. Hayes Given Degree By Va. Union The Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, West 33rd street, New York City, was made the recipient of the degree of doctor of divinity by the Virginia Union University, Richmond, Va., last week. Dr. Hayes was the principal speaker at the memorial service held at that University for the late Prof. Joseph N. Jones, who was, for many years, a member of the university faculty. Colored Nurses Are Now In The Majority on The Harlem Hospital Staff Personnel Has Practically Been Changed Since Opening On January 3 of the Harlem Training School for Nurses, Which Now Has Its Second Group Enrolled: HOSPITAL ORITIES REPORT SHORTAGE OF COLORED NURSES POSITIONS NOW VACANT Dr. McGrath President Board of Trustees, Declares School Is Open To All, and That Charges of Segregation and Discrimination Are Without Basis of Fact. Within the past six months, the personnel of the nursing staff at Harlem Hospital has changed to the extent that whereas prior to that time there had been only a few colored nurses employed in any capacity in that institution, at this time the majority of the nurses in all departments of the hospital are colored, with a number serving as head and assistant head nurses. On the regular staff of graduate nurses there are now employed fourteen colored and eight white nurses. Four vacancies, three of which are head nurse positions, are to be filled. There are eleven head nurses required in the various wards and departments of the institution, and of the eight head nurses now on duty three are colored. In addition, there are three colored assistants who are in line for early promotion to positions as heads. Best Edited—Best Known Colored Nurses In The Majors Harlem Personnel Has Practically Brought On January 3 of the Harlem Nurses, Which New Group HOSPITAL COLORED NURSER Dr. McGrath President B School Is Open To All, education and Discrimination Basis Within the past six months staff at Harlem Hospital that whereas prior to that few colored nurses employed tuition, at this time the major partments of the hospital serving as head and assistant On the regular staff of now employed fourteen colored Four vacancies, three of which are to be filled. There are in the various wards and departments of the eight head nurses. In addition, there are in line for early promot There are ninety postgraduate nurses taking courses that afford additional experience along lines they had not previously been able to cover, two of whom are white, eleven being colored. With regard to the placing of additional colored nurses on the staff, both Miss Vincent, the superintendent of the hospital, and Miss Delmore, superintendent of nurses are authority for the statement that the need is pressing, and qualified graduate nurses applying will be immediately placed on duty. A special desire is expressed for the service of such colored nurses as are capable of filling the head nurse positions. In this connection it is noted that beginning June 1, last, the hospital offers a substantial increase in the pay of graduate nurses. Nursea Get Good Salaries The pay is now $90 a month, and in addition, the nurse is supplied with every maintenance need—room, board, laundry, medical and dental attention, etc.—the real equivalent of at least $140 to $150 per month in New York City. Prior to June 1 the pay was only $72 per month. After six months the nurse is eligible for a raise to $95. The change in complexion of the nurse personnel was coincident with the opening of the Harlem Training School for Nurses, offering especially an opportunity to the young colored nurse to secure training as a professional nurse under the most advantageous conditions, and this change has developed advantages to the race that overshadowed discriminatory conditions which prejudiced critics have attempted to create. In this connection, it is pointed out by wise and conservative members of the race that for years there has been agitation toward securing race representation on the medical and nursing staff at Harlem Hospital, since that public sanitarium is located in the center of the largest Negro community in the world. And so, these counselors say, it seems rather ill-advised that any member of the race should attempt for what appears to be purely personal and political aggrandizement to create a situation prejudicial to the realizing of this desire by making unfounded and unsubstantiated charges of segregation and race distinctions. Attention is called to the fact that reforms and changes must necessarily be brought about, under most circumstances, through gradual change, unless effectiveness of operation is to be impaired. This is particularly true of such an institution as Harlem Hospital where the health, welfare and comfort of hundreds of patients are to be looked after daily. . More Nurses are Needed There is really a cisex in the nurse situation at Harlem Hospital at the present time, say the officials of that institution, and it is due largely to the fact that a sufficient number of colored nurses are not immediately available to bring the staff to its required quota. Unless this is remedied at once, it will naturally be necessary to place on duty whatever nursing material is available, and this will mean the employment of additional white nurses. In addition to the four vacancies on the graduate nurse staff previously mentioned, the superintendent states that there are openings for forty-eight additional post-graduate and pupil nurses. The following is the roster of colored graduate, post graduate, junior and pupil nurses making up the present personnel at Harlem Hospital and in the Nurse Training School: GRADUATE NURSES — Carmen Lugo, Ruby Gaskins, Minnie Hawkins, Ruth Sellers, Alberta Dahney, Hattie Scott, Elizabeth Cook, Madeline Dwyer, Amy Dayson, Christine Conahan, Inex Hine, Katherine Frasier, Anna Keith, Hyler Spady.

PROF. CARVER GIVEN SPINHARN MEDAL FOR 1923 BY COMMITTEE The Springarn medal for 1923 has been awarded to Prof. George W. Carver, the noted agriculturist of Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; according to announcement made public by the Committee of Award on Wednesday, June 13. Prof. Carver's discovery of various methods for utilizing the lowly peanut and the potato in more than a hundred different forms adapted not only for food user but as commercial products, has made him, for years, the most outstanding figure in the world of agricultural science. He has been called upon to deliver lectures on agriculture, not only to colored groups, but to many of the most distinguished white organizations and schools in the South. ney, Violet Parken, Louie Wilder, Harriet White. Course in Practical Distance In connection with the need for dieticians in various other institutions coupled with a lack of facilities for practical experience in those schools which offer a course in home economics, dietetic graduates are offered an opportunity at the Harlem Hospital School of Nursing to secure this necessary additional training. One young woman, Miss Georgetta White, who finished in home economics at Howard, University, class of 1923, is enrolled to enter the Harlem school this week to secure such practical experience as will fit her to qualify for a position in the government hospital for disabled Negro veterans recently erected at Tuskegee Institute. In connection with the social service work conducted at Bellevue and allied institutions, this branch of activity at the Harlem Hospital secured on June 1, last, the services of Mrs. Jessie Levy, a graduate nurse from the Lincoln Hospital Training School, who did social service work for a year and a half at the Henry Street Settlement. A representative of the Age called on Dr. McGraft, president of the board of trustees of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, under which Harlem Hospital is operated, and was asked about the investigation recently held by Commissioner Hirshfield, at which time it is alleged that serious charges were made concerning the Harlem Training School for Nurses as a "jim crow" institution, stating, that the pupil and graduate nurses were discriminated against in the hospital and in the nurses' home. Dr. McGrath said that the only fact brought out at the hearing was to the effect that announcements about the school's opening, issued as prospectuses, stated that a school for training colored nurses would be opened at Harlem Hospital. As a matter of fact, declared the president of the board of trustees, it was not intended to open a school only for colored girls, and this misleading phraseology had been changed long before any complaint had been made or any investigation, ordered. Open to all Rooms The school, said he, is a public institution and open to girls of all races, without regard to color. It is only natural, of course, being located in a community so largely populated by people of one race, and ministering to patients, the majority of whom are of that race, that a special opportunity should be offered girls of that race to acquire the specific trimming needed in this particular work. The same thing applies to all races, and is not to be directed only to the colored people. With reference to the Hirshfield hearing, it is reported that there was only one appearance of the so-called committee. Certain charges and complaints were made at this first hearing and an adjournment was taken to the following week. On the morning set for the second appearance of the posturing disgrace, it is reported by gestures of Commissioner Hirshfield, who then Commissioner and President McGrath were present in the council chamber at 10 a.m. the hour appointed for the hearing, but, that the protestants failed to put in an appearance. After waiting until past eleven, Commissioner Hirshfield and Dr. McGrath were compelled to give their attention to other duties. Shortly after, according to The Age's informant, the delegation did appear, but as the Commissioner was otherwise engaged, he could not be seen. If there has been any other hearing, no information about it could be gotten from Mr. Hirshfield's office. In the meantime, those who have the interest of the race at heart are hoping that a sufficient number of colored nurses will be secured to fill the vacancies now existing in the regular nursing staff at Harlem Hospital, positions which offer good salaries under pleasant conditions to those who are not afraid to work. And attention is also called to the opportunity offered to young women, 18 to 35 years of age, who possess educational qualification to the extent of at least one year in high school or its equivalent, to secure training that will lead to receiving diplomas as graduate nurses under exceptionally favorable conditions. The Harlem Training School is registered by the State Board of Regents and its graduates are eligible to take the state examinations for license as registered nurses. The course covers two years and six months, and the city provides an allowance of $20 a month, after the probationary period of four months, or $20 for the full term, in addition to textbooks, board, lodging and laundry from date of entrance. Hampton Students Give Series of Stage and Outdoor Presentations Hampton, Va.-Hampton Institute Girls' Athletic Association gave an outdoor, May-day program of folklances—"Created Hen," "Norwegian Mountain March," "Eloise Gavotte," and "Bleking"—and repeated "Easter Rabbit," a character dance, and Beethoven's "Minuet," an aesthetic dance. At a recent general assembly of Institute workers, students, and friends in Ogden Hall, the Girls' Athletic Association gave a short health entertainment, in which mothers learned how to care for their children. One another was the typically nervous, foolish woman; the other was a composed, sensible woman. The scene of the play was laid in "Miss Helper's School," in which children answered roll-call with health proverbs; acted "Ode to Posture," sang a song containing health habits; explained and demonstrated a series of health posters. Doctor Commonsense" also showed how he could make fat people thin and thin people fat. The sketch was a plea for a more earnest, sincere interest in individual and group health as a factor in good citizenship. The Shakespeare Club, which is a student organization of Hampton Institute, recently presented in Ogden Hall, Molier's comedy, "The Merchant Gentleman," which deals with French life in the time of Louise XIV. One act—a French drawing-room—was used for the entire play. All the characters were well differentiated. The players had excellent conceptions of their assigned parts. Their enunciation was clear and their costumes were in harmony with the period. They interpreted their roles so skillfully and with so little apparent acting that they sine away their audience conscious of having enjoyed an evening of delightful recreation. Another student play deserves notice. Twentyodd members of the Hampton Institute agricultural and home-eco-communications associations presented in Ogden Hall, Herbert Quick's novel of life and education "The Brown House," in four acts and nine scenes.

Dr. Grege delivered the valedictory address on the Youth of the Twentieth Century. That man and women who are willing to face the facts of life and learn the lessons of truth, and accurately forecast their future, are usually under pressure by observing themselves with reference to their thrift or indulgence, their sincerity or hypocrisy, their fate of time or fortune, their success or failure, or cowardice, was the opinion expressed by James Weldon Johnson of New York, secretary of the National Association for the Education of People, who delivered the principal address. Mr. Johnson referred to the physical strength and stamina of the Negro race and its contributions to history, both in the past and in the present. Negro in this country," he said, "constitutes one of the most wonderful pages in American history. Brought here against the backdrop of the Civil War, he turned his back to the light or consciously sought the downward path. He has always continued to struggle forward and upward, and he has been a source of thought, and religion become thoroughly American. Not only has the American Negro served America, but he has made his contribution to her civilization, especially in the fight against slavery, that titlionism has made a home, for Negro music; that here it has been taught; that from here it has been spread; and that here it has been nurtured. It is here that your own Nathaniel Best is developing it in a manner, which commands the attention of the musicians of the world. Negro music is the tonalite, the NEGRO is able to bridge all chansys." The speaker expressed the thought that the potentialities of the Negro race should be carefully studied to be able to possess the ability of full and unlimited American citizenship. For the Negro group the so-called Negro problem, is a is in reality an American problem, is a compound one, in which the Negro must fit himself to the very best of his ability for all of the rights and privileges of American life, and then must find the means to compel a recognition of those rights and privileges when he has so fitted The devotional service of the commencement program was conducted by Rev.

WALTER CROWN AGAIN PORT OFFICIAL AND MAKING FINE RECORD Took Office as Comptroller of Customs, Port of New Orleans, on May 28. (Special Correspondence) New Orleana, L. Cohen fills the position of Comptroller of Customs at the Port of New Orleana under commission of President Harding pending confirmation by the Senate. He went in this second time on Monday, May 28, and is conducting the office, without giving cause for offense to anybody. He is intelligent, and the experience he possesses as Registrar of the Land Office under the McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft administrations, when most of the business of the office is with white people of different dispositions and temperaments, fits him well to deal with the officials and the public who may have business with the Comptroller of Customs, office over which he presides. So smoothly has everything been conducted up to date that the cry that his occupancy of the office would give offense seems extremely ridiculous and baseless. Mr. Cohen has his suite of offices on the second floor of the Custom House Building, overlooking Canal street, his private office being the first of the suite to the left as one goes up the grand marble stairway to the second floor. The clerical force of his bureau formerly in offices in the rotunda has been moved over to offices adjoining his. There is no evidence that any of the force is displeased over the fact that it has as their head one that the Senate rejected on frivolous grounds. On the contrary, there is evidence that every body in the office is satisfied. But Mr. Cohen is not a toughneck nor a presumptuous notice in public office. Naturally enough he expects loyalty and efficiency from his force and could hardly put up with less and expect a harmless and successful administration of the office. While he was Registrar of the Land Office, Mr. Cohen many times sat as judge in controversies in contested homestead entries where claims and counter claims by attorneys on both sides had to be ruled upon in a judicial way, and in which the claims were white on both sides. Mr. Cohen's decisions, which were subject to appeal before the Commissioner of the General Land Office, were reversed in few instances, a proof of how carefully he passed upon the evidence submitted and of his able discernment and attention to duties of his office. The attorneys of record in the scenes of cases which came before him for trial were usually highly educated lawyers and gentlemen of standing and nobody ever heard of complaints made against either Mr. Cohen's behavior or his qualifications, even when appeal was taken from his decisions. In a word Mr. Cohen is as competent to run the office of Controller of Customs and prove as efficient as any man that the President could have selected from the list he had before him for consideration for the New Orleans post, and looked at from the standpoint or experience as a government official, he may be found to be the most available of the lot of seekers for the job. Fort Valley High School Closed Successful Year; Erecting Two Buildings (Special to The New York Age) Fort Valley, Ga.-What is considered to be the best school year in the history of the Fort Valley High and Industrial School was brought to a close on Wednesday evening, May 20, when the regular commencement exercises were held. The large auditorium was taken to its utmost by auditors whose intense interest was unmistakably indicated by the good order and rapt attention. The commencement exercises began with the industrial closing on the evening of May 22, taking the form of a play written by one of the industrial teachers, Miss C. E. Solomon, designed to demonstrate certain phases of work in each of the industrial departments. Friday the annual musical recital occurred. The commencement session was preach Sunday, May 27, by Dr. C. B. Wilmer, rector of St. Luke's Church, Atlanta, Ga. His theme was "The Economic Preparation for the Diffusion of the Spirit of God." Dr. Wilmer's central thought was that there can be no general and permanent realization of the essential Christian virtues and moral values among the masses so long as their economic status is steeped in drudgery, dire want and poverty. He urged his hearers to strive to earn and save more material wealth. Monday evening the high school play was presented before a large audience. The commencement program began at eight o'clock Wednesday evening. At the beginning Principal Hunt expressed gratification over the year's work. Orations by students who had won scholastic honors included Robert Morgan, Miss Julia Pate, Miss Mary Moore, Miss Ambra Barnes and Miss Josie Colbert. Principal Hunt delivered the diplomas and certificates to thirteen graduates. Prizes amounting to $2 were announced and awarded. This year marks the beginning of a definite effort to place the school on the list of accredited high schools. The curriculum has been raised in order to meet the requirements of standard high schools. A normal course has been instituted, and the general standard of scholarship has been improved. The university-Carnegie Library and office building, and a trades building are under construction, $15,000 have been added to the endowment fund. 54th Annual Commencement At Howard University With 311 Graduates in Class Elaborate Exercises Throughout Week to Mark Closing of University's Work for Past Year-James Weldon Johnson Received Degree of Doctor of Literature.

Lincoln Giants Lose Both Ends of Double Header to Bacharach The Lincoln Giants continued their losing streak against the teams of the Eastern Colored League, when they were defeated on their home court by the Atlantic City Bacharach Giants in brilliant games on Sunday, June 17. The games were witnessed by a co-ed estimated at 10,000 people and were being throughout. In the first the Bacharach won by a score of B-5 and in the second by a score of 7-6. The Lincoln's were completely shut up to the seventh inning in the game, in this inning Gee hit a home run and in the next inning Thomas scored one. In the last inning the Lincoln scored three runs before a man was hit and got three more men on base, at the excellent fielding of Dick Lundy, them from scoring the other three. Dave Brown was the player for the Lincoln in this game, but he seems to be at his best. In the second game Joe Wiltz came off the mound against Treadwell but did not stem the tide of defeat. The team of the game was the playing of Fraser former third baseman for Hickok and of Dick Lundy, the captain of the team. It seems that the easy games the Lcolns have been playing against teams have become a handicap to them for they do not have enough option to keep them in good condition for the hard games with the colored teams.

It has been stated on good authority that the West 115th Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association is showing the evidence of "dry rot" in a most aggravated form. The former activities of the organization have been lessened to such a degree that many of them are almost totally suspended. Removal of expiring memberships have fallen oil and but new applications are made for membership. The congested housing conditions prevailing in Harlem have tended to keep the demand for rooming accommodations up to capacity, but this is the chief service that the institution is now called upon to give. This falling off in the activities of this organization and its failure to render the full service that it was designed to give to the community, is the result of the unwise policy adopted by the Central Board of Directors, in retaining in charge an executive secretary, an official who had lost his usefulness. This damage to the morale of the institution and its effect upon its usefulness was remarkably pointed out by THE AG, in its efforts to awaken the Central Board of the principle involved. The success of the Central Board are closely linked to serious responsibility in this respect in the interests of the great institution and its chances for good work among the youth of Harlem, in upheld by those who animated the great movement in the community by their efforts. Whether or not the community has far been involved in the movement for the individual experience of those who have brought about the present situation. If the investment of money and effort put into the West Little Street Branch was merely to support a training house for men, it would seem to be a waste of opportunity. An important that alludes to the living principle of its existence will be the endurance of this act. Call To Republicans A call addressed "TO ALL CLOSED REPUBLICANS IN STATES WHERE THEY VOTED" has been issued by the Colored Republican Conference of New Jersey of which Dr. George L. Cannon is president, to a meeting to be held at New Jersey, N.J. July 20th to discuss ways and means of constituting our political rights. His invitation is extended to those in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Indiana, Tennessee and Kentucky, with New Jersey as host. Some of the subjects to be considered here: Absolutely, a city of membership in the Republican party, both North and South. The "White" policy of the Republican party Our location without proper representation. The enforcement of the Federal Constitution in its entirety, without taxationism for any particular amendment. Concentration of our political forces is a means of preserving our right and privilege. The call to action of the political world which calls for the race today is of grave importance. It implies that efforts are being made to transform our political right and to deny us any place in the government. Race prejudice is declared to be the super-government in America and by the language of the call "makes a mockery of the Declaration of Independence and a scrap of paper of the Federal Constitution." While the program so far has mapped out may appear to be a little vague in some particular, it might be a good thing for leading Republicans of the race to get together by the seat to a couple of days outing, and to exchange views on current tendencies in politics and try to agree on some concert of action that will work for the betterment of race interests. It is to be borne in mind that the political conditions vary greatly in the several States enumerated, and that many of the ends aimed at can best be accomplished by the action of the individual voters in the States concerned. Equality of party membership, for example, can best be attained by the action of the individual voters in enrolling in the party primaries and participating in the various activities of the party. The demand for the enforcement of the Federal Constitution in its entirety, particularly the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, is a matter which should enlist concerted action in all the States where the Negro voters have a voice, by giving their support only to those candidates for Congress who declare in favor of the appropriate legislation necessary to carry out these amendments. If the colored voters of the country can be united in support of such a policy, it will mean a step forward in political progress. A conference of the character indicated in the call should command a large attendance. If conducted, with courage and consistency it might be productive of good results both to the race and to the party and lessen the disintegration of this element of party strength, which is gradually growing in such States as New York and Illinois, as evidenced by recent elections in New York City and Chicago. Let the political leaders gather at the seashore and compare notes. Let them devise a plan for getting every member of the race to exercise the right of suffrage in those States, where the right to vote is open to every citizen. Old Dangers and New. When Corporation Counsel Nicholson assured Col William Hayward, the United States District Attorney, that he need have no fear that the corner saloon will come back because of the repeal of the Mullen-Gage act, he probably spoke by the book. But he failed to add that the Mullen-Gage act left quite a few of the old corner saloons still doing business at their old stands, where they seem likely to remain, despite the fact that prohibition has been written into the Constitution for over two years. The utter failure of the Mullen-Gage act to put the saloon out of business was only a part of its failure as a prohibition enforcement measure. Despite this law the sale of intoxicating liquor was not only continued in the corner saloons which failed to close their doors, but the sale was spread to other establishments thinly disguised as delicate senses, cigar and stationery stores. The widespread nature of this silent trafic was shown in an article in last week's Ace, which detailed the growth of "booth joints" in the Harlem section. Neither the police authorities nor the Federal prohibition enforcement agency seem to have felt any responsibility in preventing the opening of new places in the kind nor in interfering with the activities of those surviving from the previous period. For some reason or other the Harlem district appears to have been given over to exploitation of some boothgers that have favored on the weakness of those who crave the stimulation of alcoholic beverages. The harm to the physical and mental system done by the sale compounds sold under the general term of "booths" does not enter into the calculations of either the buyer or the seller of the beverage in question. Then the moral atmosphere created by the multiplication of these three points is another element of danger that should be given consideration by the authorities. Many of them are used to for disreputable characters of the sexes and become breeding places in counties of all sorts. This feature in itself would seem to warrant the intervention of the police, who cannot be ignored out of the existence of these places, and the class of people who frequent them. The failure of the Mullenogue as a prohibition measure is no reason why vicious resorts should be given the freedom of Harlem. While it may be true that a time value has been assigned in numbers and restricted in its activity, it can become less of a danger to the communities in its place has come a lot of new dangers infinitely more widespread and subtle, in the multiplication of "thatch points." Their purpose is to debauch and demoralize the community as to coin dollars for the white men who put up the money to establish and run them. The respectable residents of the Harlem section who form the bulk of the population, protest against the invasion of vicious resorts for commercial purposes only. The people who pay taxes and reins in Harlem should be protected from this hawk's invasion, which has followed in the wake of prohibition that has tainted enforcement. With the imminent that "We have recency to love," the Kansas law paid its respects to those oppressed promoters, who urge their intended victims to put up one hundred dollars as an evidence of loyalty to race. It added. Negers must learn the value of brains. There is no substitute for them. Any cooperative effort we go into, is worth just what the coworkers know. The man whose counsel is valued has wrecked whatever business he has touched. And he always will. His money, so much sought after, makes him think he is somebody. English promotion, with brick buildings, banks, newspapers, shops as their objective, must stop. The Negro has too little money to throw it away in experiments of untrained men. By all means invest your savings, but only in projects fostered by those who have shown in their own businesses, with their own money, that they know how to get results. This advice is sane and sound. Probably more money has been frittered away in race enterprises through ignorance and inexperience than has been stolen through deliberate dishonesty of the promoters. It is not too much to ask that managers of any enterprise should possess knowledge and experience in the line of business they propose to follow.

Cleveland, Ohio, papers last week, in giving an account of a speech made by Paul D. Cravath at a dinner at the Union Club reported Mr. Cravath as sayin. "The only solution of the Negro Problem is complete segregation and the Building up of a separate Negro society. To do this it is necessary that we educate Negro leaders to build and maintain that society." This is no new doctrine and it deserves attention only because of the man by whom it was enunciated. Paul D. Cravath is chairman of the Board of Trustees of Fisk University. Mr. Cravath's father was the first President of that University and it is probable that Mr. Cravath received his earlier education at Fisk. Present at the dinner were Dr. Wallace Buttrick, chairman of the General Education Board of the Rockefeller Foundation; E. M. Williams, president of the Cleveland Board of Education; and a number of leading citizens of Cleveland. Dr. McKenzie, the president of Fisk, was also present; Mr. Cravath is a great lawyer and, naturally, has had opportunities to study the Negro question. How he can arrive at such an abound judgment as he seems to have made is difficult to understand. But even if Mr. Cravath does not understand it, thinking Negroes do understand that complete segregation means nothing more or less than a permanent secondary status for the Negro in America, and that the Negro will not accept. There are only two choices for the Negro in America—either full and unlimited American citizenship or a permanent and unalterable secondary status. He must either rise to the one or fall to the other. There is no middle ground. If the Negro either accepts or has forced upon himself complete segregation he need never expect to participate in the common rights of American citizenship. The two things are self-contradictory. Of course, the solution of the whole thing is the rating of men by their individual worth, character and abilities. This statement by Mr. Cravath is a strange one coming from the chairman of the Board of Trustees of one of the great Negro universities. We shall watch and see what reply the Board of Trustees at Lask University will have to make to it. THE EXODUS STILL ON. from the South is still on and is that region considerable worry.

The latter method is the only one worth while. We have before us an editorial from one of the daily papers of Jacksville. It commenting upon a speech made by Colonel Peter O. Knight to an audience of colored people in one of the churches in Tampa. It is such Colonel Knight pointed out that the State of Florida was ruling up with white men from the North. The statement made in tells was made to express from the colored people that their places would be taken by white men if they left. According to the common sentiments expressed in the South, this is exactly what Florida would wish to see. If the Negro is so incident, so shifters, so criminal, and he is leaving the state and his place is being taken by white men, why make it a terrible place to stop this transfer of populations?

He merian is the highest paid ministry sermon before the General Synod at the Reformed Church Dr. Malcom J. McLeod, pastor of the Church of St. Nicholas, Fifth Avenue and Forty-eighth Street. New York, declared that the church is the richest institution in America today, that it is even richer than the United States Steel Corporation or the Standard Oil Company, but that in spite of its opulence and affluence it keeps the world man closer to the hunger point than any industrial organization in the country. Dr. McLeod gave some figures by way of comparison. He stated that perhaps the presbyterian is the highest paid ministry of any denomination in America and that the average salary is $1,803 a year. This, he said, is $34,67 a week. In contrast he pointed out that a male stenner gets $40,39 a week and that a leather cutter in shoe-making gets $38,11 a week. Dr. McLeod evidently did not think it necessary to strike a comparison with such attributive trades as bricklaying and plastering. Plasterers in New York a week or so ago made a successful strike for $14 a day. From his figures Dr. McLeod reached the conclusion that the minister is the poorest paid workman, even more poorly paid than the men in the ranks of unskilled labor. He said that the minister's hours of labor are from ten to twelve hours a day seven days a week, and he added: "To say that a minister's recompense is found in the joy he gets out of his work and the good he is able to do may sound very beautiful and sweet, but when we get down to the cold hard facts of living, it is just pity, poor plumdious humbug. "How can any moral interest the laws of civic betrayment, not to speak of the laws of the Kingdom of God, it he cannot honorably know him? How can a woman be a leader in the missionary work in the world, if she owes the butler and the baker, whose wages are not there to trust listening to her?" This is a strong indictment of the church and is un doubtedly, in a very large degree a just one. However, this penurious attitude toward workers it not exclusively peculiar to the church. It is the attitude of nearly all great institutions from the government on down. This is a fact which is notoriously true of the government. Generally speaking, government officials are the worst paid workers in the country. Furthermore, the government shows very little gratitude for past services and efforts, and is always ready to throw a worker on the junk heap. There are a number of government positions which it actually costs money to hold. This is particularly true of posts in the diplomatic and consular services. Time and again public officials who were rendering the government good service have felt called upon to resign in order to make enough money to insure the welfare of their families. This appears to be nothing short of downright meanness on the part of the government. However, there is, in the United States at least, a general feeling that the government makes no pretense of paying its servants the worth of their services in actual money. It is more or less taken for granted that there are other compensations—honor, prestige, preferment, influence and maybe fame and a permanent place in history. So when a man accepts an ambassadorship and pays twice as much for house rent as he receives in salary he is, of course, not thinking of the salary at all. In some degree this is true of the church and the ministry. Dr. McLeod did not take these compensations into account when he drew the comparison between the average weekly salary of the minister and the weekly wages of the mule spinner. Not many men would hesitate to prefer being a minister with his salary of $34.67 a week to being a mule spinner at $40.39 a week. Of course, the mule spinner is better off economically. He gets more money and his social status requires less expenditure. But the minister has other compensations. He has a position which makes him a personality in the community, which gives him prestige, influence and power, and these, of course, cannot be precisely measured in dollars and cents. Dr. McLeod also, in his figures of comparison, fails to take into account another fact. If a minister gets $34.67 a week, it is hardly likely that he will ever get less, so long as he preaches. The probabilities that he will have earning power over a much longer term of years than the mule spinner of the bricklayer or the plasterer are great. A man may easily have fifty years of service as a minister, but fifty years of service in any one of the trades could hardly be looked for. Then, too, the man who works at a trade and earns forty or fifty dollars a week, or even more, never has work every week in the year. Nevertheless, we believe with Dr. McLeod that the church should pay its ministers, as far as it is able, in accordance with their worth and abilities. We fully agree with him that the talk about the joy he minister gets out of his work sounds beautiful and angelic but will not meet the high cost of living. We can also easily understand how embarrassing it would be to any minister to try to preach about honesty and business integrity while looking men in the face whom he owed and could not pay. There may be some who would quote the words of Christ in sending out the disciples when He told them to go and preach but to provide themselves neither with gold nor silver in their purses nor two coats for their backs nor shoes for their feet. But it should also be remembered that in the same connection He said that the servant sworthy of his hire. Moreover, Dr. McLeod goes to the heart of the matter when he says, "So long as the church is organized as it is and you demand that he (the minister) keep up to a certain standard of living, so long then do you owe him freedom from financial care, intuitivity from over anxiety about tomorrow, and deliverance from the daily dread of the sheriff and the wolf. So in whatever way the above quoted instructions may have applied to the apostles of old it is certain, that they do not apply today. Living conditions, obligations to society, civilization, and the church itself have all changed since those instructions were given. There are very few churches today that would tolerate beneath their roofs the presence of one of the ragged, barefoot apostles who tramped around the borders of the Sea of Galilee and through Asia Minor spreading the gospel, if by any miracle he should put in his appearance. There are some churches where such an appearance would be deemed an intrusion warranting calling the police. But since the church has changed and ministers are expected to maintain a certain social standing, to pay their debts like other men, to care for their wives and educate their children, and to leave their families so they will not actually suffer, then the church ought to pay these ministers so that they can honorably maintain the status which the church demands they shall The Question of Health. One of the most important questions affecting the race is the matter of health and disease. So many misleading statements and erroneous conclusions have been published by outsiders relating to these matters that it is gratifying to find a competent medical authority within the race endeavoring to controvert these balt truths and set forth the real fact. Under the date line of Washington, D.C. on the Red Bank Echo, Dr. A. B. Jackson, former surgeon-in-chief of Mercy Hospital Philadelphia, a new director of the School of Public Health of Howard University, was quoted as taking exception to some recent statements issued by the United States Census Bureau regarding the probable effect upon the Negro in America of the continued migration from the South to Northern sections of the United States. The statement which seemed to be intended to discourage Negro migration to the North was as follows "In every one of the northern states Negro deaths in the five years, 1915, 1919, cumulative births in the southern states, in general, the conditions are reversed." Dr. Jackson's analysis of this misleading statement was given to this effect: As I write that I have before me a table showing the ratio between deaths and births for colored people, and I take from it four southern states and find the above statement is not altogether true. In three northern states there is an excess of birth rate and one shows excess death rate. In the four southern states exactly the same situation is found Another statement claiming that throughout the North and in the cities of the South, Negro deaths are more numerous than Negro births and that in 1920, for the first time, the proportion of white children to white women exceeded that of Negro children to Negro women, brought out this responder from Dr. Jackson. Certainly there is nothing so remarkable about this statement, for in this birth "marathon" the Negro woman can afford to slow up for one year. Then too, as a higher social and educational consciousness is being developed by the Negro, he is learning that fewer children born under better conditions make for a higher and better racial integrity—national integrity. For this he should be commended rather than censured and having the red flag of connection flaunted before him—should he leave the South. That there is a general though gradual improvement in health conditions affecting the race, as was shown in a recent issue of TJR Age, is supported by Dr. Jackson's testimony, as follows: "The sickness and death rate of the Negro is too high, higher than it should be for the good of both the Negro and America, yet both are to blame for the condition. However, let all be said that may be, every year shows a steady decline in the Negro death rate; for example let us take Washington, D. (a border line city between North and South. The death rate of Washington from 1900 to 1922 decreased from 295 per 1000 from all causes including the recurrent influenza pandemic. Taking a large group of southern cities for comparison, it is interesting to note that in every instance the urban death rate for Negroes is always lower in the North than in the South. Another glittering truth which at once frustrates the idea of decadence and extinction of the Negro race is that the annual increase in life expectancy at birth has been 7.6 since 1900 for males and 7.2 for females. In states with more than 5 per cent Negro population, 40.25 for males and 45.98 for females. As touching the infant mortality rate let us observe an other group of northern and southern states and cities. Since 1917 there has been in the group studied a marked decrease in infant deaths per 1,000 births, except one southern city and one northern state, both of which showed an increase. While it is admitted that the which Negro death rate, especially the infant mortality, is too high, there are many extimating circumstances, according to Dr. Jackson, which enter as factors in causing this high rate. Every possible energy on the part of our medical men, as well as the intelligent laymen, is required to combat these causes and prevent the spreading of disease and the increase of mortality. Adoptate housing and proper living conditions enter largely into this question of health and disease. A continuous campaign of education is needed to guard against the inroads of disease incurred through bad habits of living. Migration of Southern born Negroes to the North will not increase their mortality, if they are able to adopt proper standards of living. The Negro can adapt himself to the rigid temperature of the North Pole as well as to the torrential heat of the Equator. Referring to the observation of Safety Week in Louisville, Ky., the connection Baptist said. Very few of our people take any special interest in the campaigns which are waged from time to time for bettering the conditions of the people of the city and for the benefit of society in general. In the matter of accidents, in many cases our people are the sufferers and in some cases are responsible for them. "Safety Week" will be inaugurated next Sunday when the annual effort will be inaugurated to prevent accidents and especially automobile accidents. Many of these accidents could be prevented by care and caution and every person should be interested in the movement to save life and protect property. With a large and increasing ownership of motor cars among the race, especially in the South, special interest should be taken in campaigns of this character. In fact to establish a well rounded citizenship all movements for public betterment should enlist our interest and support.

We must inspire the necessity of it comes through deep- ness in touch with our life. These spiritually quickened students are urged to pursue lives of service in the interest of the millions of their brothers.. As teachers, preachers, farmers, business men, government clefs, and in other walks of life, they can be of great service to the cause of Christ, which is the cause of His people. I would point out to you that already groups of members of our student associations are going out into the crowded districts taking the gospel message of hope, advising on better living conditions, preaching education, urging better farming methods in short, trying even while they are students to touch the foundation life of a needy people. We have fourteen active associations, organized and in time this number will be increased to thirty. Our imaginations fail us in our effort to contemplate the good those associations will do. In addition to this harnessing of student life, both present and future to the life of the people we must invest in the growing needs of Africans in the cities and in industries. If there is a crying need anywhere in the world it is here. The young man comes to the city for work. He has never had any idea of city life. There are few, helpful social influences; there is an absolute lack of guidance. On every band, however, there is adjustment to drink, morality, crime and utter devaluation. "You have doubtless heard of Cite of Johannesburg called the "University of Crime." Johannesburg and vicinity draw five hundred thousand boys and young men every year from all sections of Africa south of the Equator, but principally from Portuguese East and South Africa for work in the mines. I am impressed that the spiritual, social educational and physical program of the Y. M. C. A. is what is needed here. If we love young manhood, if we admire character, if there is a burning desire to see the imprint of Christ upon His sons or if we have, but a human inclination to do good, there is our opportunity. The ground work of perfecting organization, of educating public servants of securing the cooperation of churches, officials, and others is now being carried out. We have begun with the training our servants, who are to be the workers to help carry this out to the great need, waiting in the hope that we shall be ready to provide our programs to the people in Australia. It will be the appeal we have already heard before. The Australians call for men and money to work in Australia to them. During the Christmas holidays we had the pleasure of having nearly all of South Africa represented in a group of native friends we had at our home. There were present several stalwart Zulu from Natal, a Funga and Pondo from the Transkei, a Bapedi from Northern Transvaal, and an Mbona from Phleboa, a spied young man from far away Nwassaland, a Basutoland man and a number of native living in and about Capetown. It was literally a gathering of the tribe. We asked happily of the last game, but they compared their customs and traditions and then dwelt at length upon present day conditions and needs. If I am one of those of you who read this letter could have been present at this gathering no other argument would be required. It is these splendid young men with hopeful outlooks on the future who throw out to us the challenge. It is possible that in a measure we hold the destiny of many of them in our hands. With God's help let us make that future as large as profitable and as worth while as possible. "It hardly seems that a year has passed since we left America. I will not say that we have not been home at times but I frankly say that we are very happy in our work out here. If there are disadvantages and disadvantages there in a larger way compensating pays and opportunities which make us forget the unpleasant. We have had our full share of sickness during this period, but I feel sure that we are now acclimatized and that our trouble in this respect be that of the average.

Last Sunday was celebrated both at a Children's Day and as Education Day. The pastor of Newman Memorial M. I. Church, the Rev. Thomas W. Cooper, taught an appropriate term of the 11 a.m. service. A number of visitors were present. The Sunday-school session was continued, the time being given to a total rehearsal for the Children's Day exercises which were held in the main auditorium at 8:30 p.m. under direction of Mrs. John W. Bratton, superintendent, with J. Williams directing the children in the music. An interesting service consisted of readings to senior pupils, recitations to the little ones, and a number of inspiring songs to the school, with Miss Anna Dickerson at the piano. The chairmen of the committee in L. H. Wong, engraver, opened the service with Shelley Harkins, bark my soul, "Ms. Gerritt Harkins, contrary, and Mrs. Erickson Simmons, Larkins my soul." gave also the offerty number "Oh for a closer walk with God" (Mary Foster) Mrs. Brooks, scolist. Splendid offerings were made both by the congregation and by the Sunday school, the alter being for the connective educational fund. The $1,000 Rally comes to an end on Sunday, June 17, and pastor and officers hope for fulfillment of their desire. Led by Mr. Walmsley, members of Newman took a surprise benefit to Mrs. Maggie Sheppard, 501 Clinton avenue, a faithful worker in the Sunday school, and a member of the church council, which has been till for the past four months on Monday night, June 11.

Per- haps, all this is true. And we all know, quite a percentage of us are easily gullied. We have the ignorant on all sides, but we don't expect this sort of harangue from our best minds. Then, too, just who are the "gullible" among us? We heard a Negro business man say, that the most gullible Negroes he knew were among the intelligent class, that they passed right by his place to trade with a Jew, purchasing inferior articles, thinking they were getting larges. He also said, "If it were not for the so-called ignorant Negro, I would have to close up shop." Be that as it may, it is our idea, that when the Negro doctor, lawyer, merchant, or what not, delivers the "goods" then, and not until then, will he get the bulk of the Negro's trade. THE NEW YORK AGE . Last week, I thought I would, give someone else a chance to write, and lo! and behold! not one of my sisters wrote. Won't every one try to make our column worth while? "United we stand, divided, we fall." You don't mind this little colding. I am sure, for I love everyone of you. This is another one of my sermons: Love ➤ Kindness Have you ever noticed how much time Jesus spent in being kind—in merely being kind? Think of this, and you will find that a great portion of His time He spent in making people happy, in doing good turns for people. There is only one thing greater than happiness in this world, and that is holiness. It is not in our keeping God reserves that to Himself, but He has put in our power the happiness of our fellow creatures, and that can be obtained by our being kind to them. The greatest thing that a man can do for his Heavenly Father, is to be kind to some of His children. I wonder why we are not all kind; than we are? How much the world needs it? How could it do worse. How instantaneously acts, how infallible it is to be remembered, how superabundantly in a pass back. There is no other in all the world so honrable as love. Love never fails; love is success; love is his life; love is Browning. It is the energy of life. God our Father, is not apart from His children but He lives and breathes into every soul. His Holy Presence ready and willing at all times to answer each call and to supply each need. This little prayer expresses our beautiful the kindness of love. Our Father which art in heaven, this room lays of these. Grant me light that I may see more clearly the wonders of this great universe and comprehend more deeply the wondrous mysteries of eternity. Pray grant me, Father, a charity as vast as space, that I may love all mankind regardless of color, creed or race, a love that shall embrace the fortunate ones of earth and lead them to a better understanding of The plan, upward and onward to the supreme heights and to the universal brotherhood of men. I ask pet rules. Father, please, my name; but just the power of love that in The Name some person discharged and I never may cover and turn the Country the right again. I forever and ever.

In this session he laid down the principles of physical moral, spiritual recovery, what it were keep your head on the bright side, keep your head on your shoulders and keep your faith in God." At the evening hour he made a strong plea for loyalty to the State in view of the weakening of New York on the liquor question; to the race, in view of the national crisis we are facing on account of our redistribution; to the church, in view of the demand for a better type of church member." At the early evening hour he addressed the Kenwood Baptist Church (white) on "The New Phase of the Negro Problem." Dr. Proctor will fill his pulpit at both services Sunday June 17, speaking at the morning hour on "Power for Daily Living," and at the evening hour on "Gambling." Mrs. John Foster, who has been teaching at the Lucy Lanye Institute, Augusta, has rejoined her husband at 561 Herkimer street. Among the sick are Julius Wood. 260a Thompkins avenue; Mrs. Ruth Showel, Bushwick Hospital; Wellington Smith, J35 Jefferson avenue. The annual union service between the Nazareth and the Central Congregational Church (white) Sunday evening, proved one of the notable meetings of the Borough. Both clubs sang with fine effect, and Mr. Harrison made a great impression with his solo. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman paid a glowing tribute to Dr. Proctor, who responded in a ringing address, in which he held that the North must solve the problem of the races for the nation, just as it had solved the problem of slavery in the states. Joseph Wanamaker and Mrs. Maggie Dillard united with the church Sunday morning, June 4. Siloam Church. Brooklyn A full congregation was present at Silam on Sunday morning, June 10 Res. George Shippen Stark presided. His subject was "How do you read?" He spoke of how some people never get the full meaning out of anything they read, even God's Holy Word. How many theories there are for Christ's Sacrifice, when Calvary's meaning is but one. "That God so loved the world that He died for it," the Sayer knew there would be those who would doubt and not believe so for those he says. "If you cannot believe my word be believe Me for my work's sake which you have seen." No man can deny the Handwork of God. His teachings are that we shall live and never die God is a consuming fire but He never consumes anything that can be saved. His pathway must be unobstructed or that which obstracts must go down God is marching through the world building a Kingdom by the men and women coming into it. Two new members joined with the church, Charles Collins and William Wheeler. The Bible School convened at 1:30 in the Parish House four new members joining. The school was well represented on Thursday for the 94th anniversary of the Brooklyn Sunday-school Union. The evening service during the summer months will be devoted to song and praise. The pastor spoke on Christ's journey, the sea whenaker His tools with men up to the limits of His strength. He fell asleep in the boat. God does often seem to sleep, but He never oversleeps. He delays often to test our faith and quicken our prayer. He is able and willing to meet our permission if we only pat our trust in Him. Two new members joined at the service Harold Davis and David Foulk. On Saturday morning, June 1st a new member answered the call Miss Desse M Simpson Dirk C Jackson Omar Penn Andrew W. Ferguson John D Tait Ernest Flood Smith and Richard B. Johnson. The recital gave by William A Wilkins pupils was a treat. Selection were performed by Mr Hudson Miss M Joy Gun and Miss M Lutpatrick. On Friday evening a juvenile Latham Promenade was given under the guidance of Mr Strutte Martin for benefit of the Eble School. Prince were issued for the best costumes. Miss Helen Price taking the first and Miss Dusy Bly the second. Through the splendid response of the members the amount raised during the expansion drive enabled the trustees to make the final payment on the House and on Church Organization. When all the various clubs of the church gather for their annual reunion the mortgage will be borne. Within three years, this building was contracted for and the cost $250 secured with all payments are completed. The fact that the Parish House is now open will give larger opportunity for expansion and it is borne that soon it will be free of debt. Friendship Church, B'klyn. The Lordship of Jesus, was the subject of the sermon preached by the Rev. Bitton Downing, pastor of the Friendship Baptist Church, Ellen Street, East New York.

Brooks The death of Dr. W. H. Brooks is to be regretted, for he was indeed a great spiritual leader and like a faithful and stammer preacher of the Methodist Episcopal Church. But he was too much of a Christian gentleman to be narrow in religious views. During the many years of his faithful and efficient pastoral duties of St Mark's he served the church of his choice without favoritism on class distinction. When I came from the South twenty years ago and became a member of St Mark's, in less than a month after my accession Dr. Brooks made me an assistant class leader, an honor I have never forgotten Dr. Brooks was loyal patron and fearless. He was deeply interested in the welfare of his country and much concerned as to the justice and equity of his race, an obsequient and soul stirring exponent of the fundamental and burrowing truths of Jesus Christ. We shall do well to perpose his loving memory. Greensboro, N. C. Gregory, N.C. One of the most delightful affairs of the season was the summer presents and dance given by the Tau Omega Chapter of Omega No. Phi Fraternity Friday evening, June 8 in Suga's Hall. Quite a large number of the losses of dancing was included among those present, as were a number of visitors from Durham and Worcester. The ball was tentatively decorated for the occasion.

The drive which was launched last week for the purpose of raising $5000 to establish a modern hospital here for the medical needs of our people, resulted in securing only $259 in cash and pledges. Notwithstanding the disappointment of such a small amount being realized the officials of the hospital association are not discouraged. They intend to continue the campaign until their efforts spell success. To reach the goal, different kinds of entertainments are to be pulled off.

White Notable Organ Recital By Melville Charlton In Dedicating New Instrument Audience That Taxed Capacity of Abyssinian Baptist Church's New Edifice Hears' Great Organist Play Unusual Program on Occasion of Formal Opening. The spacious auditorium of the New Abyssinian Baptist Church is reported to have a soaring capacity of two thousand. Well, every seat, upstairs and down, was occupied on Monday night, June 11, when Melville Charlton played a program of music on the fine new organ built specially for that church by the H. P. Moller Company of Hagerstown, Md. All the standing room was taken, too, standees in the balcony and side aisles of the main floor filling all the space back to the walls. Besides, on the main floor, the vestibule outside of the glass partitions in the rear was also jammed with folks who wanted to get in but couldn't, and were satisfied to be even that near, since they could at least hear some of the music. At least a thousand people could not get into the church PAGE SIX In The Realm By Lucie Notable Organist By Melville C. Dedicating Audience That Taxed Cap Church's New Edific Play Unusual Pr of Forms The spacious auditorium tist Church is reported to h thousand. Well, every seat, pied on Monday night, Jun played a program of music specially for that church b of Hagerstown, Md. All th too, standees in the balcony floor filling all the space b the main floor, the vestibule in the rear was also jamme get in but couldn't, and w near, since they could at le At least a thousand people at all. The occasion marked the normal dedication of the origiit to the services of the church, and it was important, the most possible feature of the month's series of affairs, planned for debaiming Abscomany's new building which will culminate on Sunday, June 17, when the total services are to be held. It is hardly necessary to try to say anything about Mr. Charlton as an organist, for his ability has long since won for him a distinguished place among America's best musician. He was the first colored man to win acceptance as an academic associate in the American Guild of Organists, and for a decade he has been serving as organist for Sunday services at the Union Theological Seminary, University Heights, one of the leading white theological institutions in the world. Then for fifteen years he has served as organist to one of the wealthiest and most prominent Jewish organizations in New York City. Mr. Charlton has his own way in the musical world because he is well trained but solely through the ment of his artistic accomplishments. It was not surprising that the program given by this organist should possess unusual qualities. It was no easy task to arrange numbers that would hold the interest of such a mixed assemblage as would naturally be gathered under the circumstances of a dedicator season in a large composite church without sacrificing musician and artistic ideal. The natural tendency would be to incorporate within the musical message not palatimum a might be calculated to appeal to the popular taste a day of highly spiced condiments that lack solid and substantial instrument. This endowment was provided by Mr. Charlton. He played a program of music that carried its appeal, first, in its diversity of selection; second, in its well balanced arrangement; and finally, most important of all, in the mastery nature of its execution. The trainer is extremely safe in saying that not before he can large a race group had opportunity to listen to an organ that combined so many unusual elements of perfection. The auditorium is also arranged its furthermost response by within easy hearing distance by reason of the excellent acoustic properties. The organ, built specially to fit the particular architectural and building conditions of its environment, comprises the latest developments in organ mechanism. It is equipped with an electro pneumatic actuator that eliminates stiffness in the manuals and ensures instant response to the lightest touch. The total quality process guards, voicing of the pipes having been given the closest expert attention. Four organs are incorporated in the instrument: the great, the swell, the choir, and the pedal organs. Three manuals, sixty-one notes each with 52 notes in the pedals, afford a wide range of color and tone nuance. Adjustable combinations to the number of twenty-two are provided for the four organs, with mechanical, piston complex and pedal movements that provide the organist control of his registration with minimum exertion. The instrument cost $11,100, including all expense of installing, Given these physical advantages, so far as the instrument and its setting is concerned, it only remained to secure the service of such a master performer as Mr. Charlton, and in doing this, the pastor, the Rev. Dr. A Clayton Powell, and his officers exhibited unusual wisdom. The program opened with a number in Bach—the classic parish, whose compositions are always severely agitated in conforming to intellectual canons. The tremendous Toccata in F major was played on this occasion, and the terrible manner in which it was rendered gave evidence of the fact that the artist was in a mood that meant exalted accomplishments. Then followed, to two hours a season of musical enjoyment that left almost overcome with its intensity. The program ranged through the fields of a wad and catholic expression—culling grans from the French masters, Guillmant, Widor, Fleuret, and others, with the best English and American modems not neglected. A delightful incident occurred toward the end of the program, when Mr. Charlton played two Negro Spiritual arrangements by Harry T. Burleigh, the race's most distinguished living composer. In response to the cordial and enthusiastically expressed approval of the audience, Mr. Charlton bowed and then insisted that Mr. Burleigh, who was sitting in the rear of the auditorium, join with him to acknowledge the audience's tribute. MELVILLE CHARLTON The modest composer was with difficulty induced by Pastor Powell to arise and finally he was brought to the center of the auditorium. The audience renewed his acclaim, forgetting for the moment that the scene was cast in church and not in a concert hall. The most movement of Guilman's First Scala, the last movement of a Sinatra to Eileenet, Widor's Sixth Symphony (1st movement) and Fifth Symphony (tocata), with Thiele's Chromatic Fantasy afforded opportunity not only for displaying the capacity of the organ, but also taxed the ample technique equipment of the organist. Then there was the simpler numbers, outramingly beautiful through the wonderful coloring of Mr. Charlton's registrations, including "Louisiana," a humbly displaying the chimes, by Civil Scott an Ottertory by King Hall; a Meditation by Malily; Dialogue by Klein, Gothic Suite, mimeet, prayer, toca, by Boilmann; and Burleigh's Spiritual Through Meaning Pine and On Beaked Knee. Mr. Charlton's power of interpretation was displayed most excellently when he played the Coulmant Sonata, developing two contrasting themes that are finally brought together for simultaneous expression in the most attractive manner; in the pedal playing necessary in the Waltor Symphonies; and in the delicate delightfulness of his rendering of Klein's Dialogue and Burleigh's Spiritual. A short address was made during the evening by Laurence McGuire, formerly president of the Board of Real Estate of the City of New York, and custodian under President Wilson of real estate owned by aliens in the United States. Mr. McGuire was of great assistance to Pastor Powell and his officers in disposing of the realty holdings of the church on West 40th street. As old church home, and his interest and advice has contributed much to the fruition of the church's success in erecting its present edifice. Mr. McGuire's speech was short, but its evident sincerity and cordiality gave it a depth that made it strong and interesting. The formal service of dedication was led by the pastor, with responses by the audience, followed with a dedicatory prayer by John H. Page, director of the choir and one of the church officials. At conclusion of the program, Mr. Charlton was the recipient of a magnificent frifolial horseback, standing almost his own height, composed of the most attractive and beautiful roses, petunias, and other flowers.

LARKIN Sun. and Mon. Jun. 17 & 18 "Is Divorce A Failure?" Kid Buller, the hard hitting Harlem featherweight fought Charley Pilkington to a draw in the star bout of twelve rounds at Commonwealth Club on Saturday night, June 9. Pilkington was eight pounds heavier and was taller and larger in every way than his colored opponent, but despite this handicap, Buller put up a game fight, leading all the way, and the majority of the fans thought he should have been awarded the decision. About the eighth round the colored giter began to slow up, and it was the excellent finish that Pilkington made that caused the bout to be declared a draw. The we have ever seen. It has six compliments—Eddie Hunter, Billy Higgins, Amon Davis, Andrew Tribble, Andrew Fairchild and James Dinghat and several hilariously funny comedy scenes have been built around Eddie Hunter as the stealing treasurer of the Mobile Chicken Trust. The dance numbers are also good and there is an ample chorus, but the show has no outstanding song number. It was probably this weakness, more than any other, that cut short its Broadway run. However, since colored audiences relish comedy and dancing more than they do music, "How Come" seems to be to for a successful summer's run on the colored circuit.

The art of the work less commonly has best himself in a manual The missionary workers have labored ardently with these two organizations and much assistance has been given the poor and needy of our community, materially and spiritually. The increasing membership of the Sunday-school department reflects great interest on the superintendent, A. A. Madison. The board of trustees report that the total amount taken in during the conference year is $18,500. These figures eclipse any ever submitted before. The public in general have supported the work of Rush and the pastor, officers and members take advantage of this medium to express their thanks. Dr. Oliver has won the respect and admiration of everyone in the community. He is ably supported by his wife who is a hard worker in religious circles, and worthily assists him in the care of his plans. On Wednesday the annual conference opened in Brooklyn and Dr. Oliver carried the prayers of the membership for his return to Rush Memorial. 8t. Lukea Episcopal Mission The second Sunday after Trinity was another great day in the history of this splendid mission which, under the leadership of the Rev. Scott Wood, has grown to be one of the real factors for uplift and community. The service began at 7 a.m. by the civil service communion. At 11 a.m. Rev. Scott Wood preached from Acts 9:3. "And as he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly there shined round about him a light from Heaven" The vicar said that on the banks of the river Cedius where it flowed with rapid stream, and watera icy cold from the mowns of Mount Arsus, stood Tarsu and Cilicia. After other historical references to the city where Mark Anthony met the beautiful Queen Cleopatra, he said: First Emmanuel Church. At the eleven o'clock service on Sunday, Pastor Bolden spoke from the text, "But thou, O Man of God, free these things; and follow after rightcousness, godiness, faith, love, patience: meekness. Fight the good fight of faith lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art alcove called, and thou profess a good faith before many wilt (I Tim. 6:11; 12). The theme was, "Struggle upward and go forward into eternia life", Pastor Bolden said; The words of this text were written in one of the letters that the Apostles Paul sent to his beloved son, Timothy, in the gospel of our Lord. He had come to know this bright and promising boy through the kindly ministrations of his mother. There was mutual admiration between the two. The Apostle took pleasure in teaching him the truth about our Lord, and when he realized his fitness and qualifications for active service in the gospel ministry, he encouraged him to preach the gospel. The missionary work of the Apostle Paul in his itinerant ministry, took him away from personal contact with this young worker. The young man Timothy, finding social and religious and economic difficulties upon the field, was prompted to write to his father in the gael laying before him the problems of his ministry and asking his advice. The counsel and admonition given him by this master mind may be made use of by religious workers today. Some of the things which he said, that showed forth the work of a good minister, would not be literally accepted today, from active pastors, because it would not pay our standard and custom of living. Thus, too it might show an attitude of mind that would not be for the best good of the industrial climate or for grilling class. But the spirit is even this kind of burning, when given to the light of the God element in the thought of Paul, is to be commended. For underneath, what would appear to be a servile attitude on the part-of- those who have to work for their living, is this thought: that the name of God and His doctrine be not blasphemed, he encourages both the master and the servant to be faithful and beloved brethren. And he exhorts him to teach these things as wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. He tells him that this doctrine is according to godliness. He cautions him to watch various teachers among the people, who are proud, knowing nothing, doting about questions, and strife of words, the outcome which is if envy, strife, railing, evil criticism, deception, deputation, corrupt minds, deputation of others, substituting gain as godliness. He said to him from such withdraw thyself And he speaks as an authority, and declares to him that godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment, let us be herewild content, for said he, "They that would be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts which drowned men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil. Which while some covet after, they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. "But thou O man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love patience, meekness, tight the good fight of faith, bold the good fight of thee, the unfortunate thou art also called and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses." Preacher, religious workers, and members of the church of our Lord should live this life and carry out this teaching in the community today and give the world a constructive, godly program and life. The Sunday-school was largely attended. As it was Children's Day many of the parents of the children attended to hear the children. Recitations, solos, vocal and instrumental, were given by them. Those in charge of this program were Maggie Johnson and Mrs. E. Townsend. At the 8 o'clock service the Rev. L. R. Miller of Bridgeport, Conn., preached to the many gathered.

I pray Him to supply all your needs, to encourage you in all your labors. I commend you to God, who is the Father of all, the Giver of every good and perfect gift.
