PROPOSAL FROM COMMITTEE OF WHITES REJECTED AS ABSOLUTELY UNSATISFACTORY Gen. Hines, Director of Veterans' Bureau, Expected to Put in Colored Personnel in Short Time—Calhoun, Driven Away By Whiten, Ordered to Go On Duty. (Special Correspondence to The Agr.) Washington, D. C.—Induction of the Alabama Ku Klux and banishing a colored civilization with the operating by the States Veterans' Hospital, Ala., will have opposite to the Klux demonstration through the appearance of the ultimate titles that the hospital must sires, with white doctors and To accept this ultimatumernment has surrendered tha the Ku Klux Klan. Washington, D. C.—Indications now are that the action of the Alabama Ku Klux Klan in staging a parade and banishing a colored civil service employee in connection with the operating by the government of the United States Veterans' Hospital, No. 91, located at Tuskegee, Ala., will have opposite to the effect intended. The Ku Klux demonstration through the streets of Tuskegee had the appearance of the ultimatum to the Federal authorities that the hospital must be run according to local desires, with white doctors and nurses in charge. To accept this ultimatum would mean that the government has surrendered the reins of administration to the Ku Klux Klan. This is hardly probable. Gen. Frank T. Hines, Director of the United States Veterans' Bureau, went to Tuskegee immediately after the Ku Klux Klan parade and had a conference with white Alamanians. He was told boldly and without equivocation that the whites of Alabama would have the hospital operated as they desired or there would be trouble. He consented that a committee of three should be appointed to confer with him. They submitted a proposal, which embraced white control of the hospital. CALHOUN ORDERED BACK TO VETERANS' HOSPITAL BY GEN. HINES, DIRECTOR Montgomery, Ala. — Reports reaching here Sunday, July 22, from Tuskegee, Ala., were to the effect that General Hines, head of the War Veterans' Bureau, had ordered John C. Calhoun back to Tuskegee for duty at the Federal Hospital for disabled Negro veterans. Proposal of Whites Rejected Gen Hines announced last week that this proposal had been rejected as unsatisfactory. Following this decision, the Director stated publicly that unless white citizens of Tuskegee could propose a suitable plan for administration of the hospital the Bureau would proceed with its own policy as outlined in the beginning. In a letter to Fred R. Moore, editor of The Age, New York City, Gen Hines wrote that "no decision will be made in this matter until its every phase has been given my most earnest consideration." The statement is made by an influential member of the Republican party, who is in a position to speak authoritatively, that there has been no change whatever in the plans of the Veterans' Bureau as regards the Tuskegee hospital and that the plans for a colored personnel will be carried out as promptly as possible consistent with the best interests of everybody concerned. He adds the comment that he had never seen any reason why the plans originally agreed upon should not be put through within any variation, that this is the purpose of Gen Hines, and that the Director is acting in accordance with the wishes of the Administration. Calboun Ordered to Duty Gen. Hines has indicated his defiance of the Klan's attitude by ordering John H. Calhoun, the colored accountant, who was retired for appointment as disbursement officer by the U. S. Civil Service Commission, but who was warned by the Klan to leave Tuskegee and who was refused protection by Col. Stanley, commanding officer at the Veterans' Hospital, to return to the hospital and assume the duties of his position. In the meantime, specific orders have been issued to Col. Stanley that Calhoun must be afforded every protection, even to the extent of calling in United States troops. Calhoun has been in Atlanta since leaving Tuskegee on July 4. Director Hines states that there are some eighty-five to ninety disabled Negro veterans receiving, treatment at the Tuskegee hospital, and that about sixty percent of the personnel is colored. The physicians are white, but the nurses, attendants and laborers are colored. The Bureau, said the Director, has acquired a list of qualified Negro physicians for the ward surgeons and it is expected that the shift will be made from white to colored within a short time.

State Normal at Nashville, Tenn., on July 11, was attended by 1,200 teachers, many of whom were attending the Summer School. Reports showed that more than a score of buildings for colored schools had been erected as a result of efforts put forth by interracial committees; colored schools were gained participation in a number of local issues; cooperation was given to Negro Health Week. Better accommodations on public carriers equal pay for properly trained colored teachers, and abandonment of use of churches for school purposes were urged. P. L.

Colored citizens of Freeport, Long Island, have been criticised for accepting a gift of $50 from the Freeport local Ku Klux Klan, given by that organization "to the movement started by the colored people of Freeport to establish a Community Centre for themselves." The money went first to the Rev. B. F. Wright, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, but he was transferred by the annual conference to a New Jersey charge before turning the money over to local interagents. The Klan got on track of the donation and Rev. Wright. seat it back to Freeport and it was turned over to John E. Robinson, leader of the Long Island Colored Citizens' Union, which decided to keep the money. Mr. Robinson writes that the Union based this decision on a claim made by the Freeport Klan that it was in favor of the uplift of the colored citizens, and so they certainly could not be against us." The klan wrote in sending the donation: "Contrary to rumors circulating, we wish all success to any endeavor which our colored citizens lend themselves in an effort to better their conditions and place themselves on a high plane of citizenship."

MINES, DIRECTOR Montgomery, Ala. — Reports reaching here Sunday, July 22, from Tuskegee, Ala., were to the effect that General Hines, bond of the War Veterans' Bureau, had ordered John C. Calhoun back to Tuskegee for duty at the Federal Hospital for disabled Negro veterans there. Calboun was sent to Tuskegee several weeks ago as disburasing agent to fill the position formerly held by a white woman who failed to pass the civil service test but left after several hundred Kus Klux had paraded, following threats against Calboun's life and failure of Col. Stanley to give Calboun any protection. General Hines, the report adds, has ordered Colosel R. H. Stanley, commanding officer at the hospital, to give Calboun full military protection. Calboun is said to be in Atlanta. the ranks of race surgeons will follow without delay, it is believed. White House Dictated Policy It is declared that the government found the question of providing for the disabled Negro veterans a serious problem. It was only after examination of all elements in the situation that a separate institution was decided upon. The government, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Carnegie Foundation, and groups of Negro leaders, it is asserted, were in accord on this proposition. It was conceded that this would offer an opportunity for Negro leadership in helping to solve the problems of the race. Trustees of Tuskegee Institute took up the matter and offered several hundred acres of lands for the hospital. It was, therefore, land owned by the Negro institution and not land given by Alabama whites on which the hospital was built. "The decision to man the hospital with Negro doctors and nurses was in pursuance of the policy of giving every advantage to Negro leadership, and this policy came from the White House. Gen. Hines is committed to enforce it." Melon Crop Bringing Good Price, But Labor Is Gone A letter from Laurinburg, N. C. brings the information that canteloopes are being shipped from that point at rate of 1,500 to 2,000 crates daily. While the crop is short the quality is good and so the fruit is bringing high prices. But—the writer says also that the best of the labor has gone "up North," and if they keep on leaving there will not be enough Negroes left in Laurinburg to get a bass singer, in the choir. And the next thing, the professionals, such as doctors, preachers and lawyers, will have to follow the crowd. Although the summer has been dry, the cotton crop looks promising.

Nurses Testify That Klan Was Fed at the Veterans' Hospital, Night of Parade Discharged From Hospital By Stanley, Between of Their Knowledge of Klan Activities, Three Negroes Tell Director Hines of Happenings at Tuskegee. Notwithstanding that Col. R. H. Staley, white Alabaman, commandant in charge of the Negro Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., has telegraphed a denial of the charge that Ku Klux who paraded Tuskegee streets on the night July 3 were received at the hospital, evidence has been submitted that seems establish beyond doubt that not only were members of the Klan at the hospital, but that they actually were received as guests and fed by staff officials, after at least ten of them had been loaned government sheets in which to enwrap themselves for the parade which they stared. Gen. Hines. Upon apprehension by the hospital authorities, he was immediately discharged by Col. Staley, the commandant, and sent to Arizona to get him out of the way. In the meantime, the three nurses were not keeping their morale shut about what they had seen, under date of July 18, they each received a notice from Stanley, worded as follows. "Your work as nurse having proved unsatisfactory, you are hereby suspended without pay until such time as your status may be definitely decided by the Burmese. In the Three nurses, Mrs. Zelda H, Peck of Chicago, formerly of Memphis, Mrs. Evelyn De G. Robinson of Philadelphia, and Miss Adella Wood of Norfolk, have given out statements that ten sheets were loaned from the hospital store on request of Miss Evelyn Phelps, white Red Cross worker at the hospital, and the receipt which the Red Cross nurse gave has been turned over to Gen. Hines, Director of the Veterans' Bureau in Washington. The nurses testify further that the ten sheets were later returned to the store rooft covered with dust and axle grease, filled with pin holes, and retaining the indentation of the human forms to which they had been mounted. Following the parade, declare the nurses, some twenty klanmen, hooded and robed, drove their cars into the hospital area, dismounted in the shelter of a convenient patch of woods, disrobed and then entered the hospital commissary, where they were fed by Miss Gubil, the chief dietitian. Samuel Jackson, a tubercular veteran undergoing treatment, witnessed these happenings and smuggled a letter out to FRENCH CAFE CLOSED WHEN OWNER REFUSED NEGRO FOR AMERICANS Police Close Place for Eight Days When Service Is Not Given as Whites Object. AMERICAN PREJUDICE NOT RECOGNIZED IN REPUBLIC OF FRANCE American Government Asked to Warn Tourists That French Negroes Are Citizens. (Special Correspondence) Paris, France.—The café proprietor who acquiesced in the demand of a few American customers and refused to serve a Negro, has been punished by the police, his place being closed for a period of eight days. The Government will issue a note of warning to the people that they must not discriminate against Negroes, however much visiting Americans may protest. The number of Negroes in France is insignificant and there is no race prejudice. The authorities fear that in case of a dispute in some public place between an American white and a French Negro the crowd would side with the colored man and serious trouble ensue. Premier Poincaré has agreed to a request made by Negro members of the Chamber of Deputies and will request the American government, through the Ambassador at Washington, to explain to Americans touring France that Negro citizens in France enjoy the same rights as the whites in every respect and will be protected by the law against discrimination.

In the meantime, the three nurses were not keeping their mugs shut about what they had seen, as under date of July 18, they each received a notice from Stanley, worded as follows.

Being thus unaccentuatedly cult adult, the three nurses, Mrs. Teeh, Mrs. Robinson and Miss Wood, left the hospital and went to Washington, where they saw Gen. Hines and had before him all the facts in their possession, oral and documentary, concerning the treatment accorded them and the events in connection with the Klinic demonstration. As a result, it is announced from Washington that the Department of Jus Following the circulation of warnings scattered indiscriminately by whites in the vicinity of Cotton Plant, Ark, some 249 Negroes left that neighborhood in the four-day period of May 7 to 10, last. Placed in or about the rural free delivery mail boxes or dropped where the colored people would be sure to find them, were notes reading about as follows: "You colored people, that is, all of you west of Cotton Plant, are given notice to get out of here by 10th of May. If not, you will take what follows." A year previous, similar notes had been given colored residents to the east of Cotton Plant, and the recipients made an appeal to the governor for protection. It is reported that their appeal was in vain, the governor being quoted as telling the colored people they must do the best they could. So when the later notices were received it was not thought worthwhile to make any appeal for protection. The heira followed. As an indication of the sacrifice entailed by their leaving, the case of one family is cited, the man and wife, their children all dead, now being in New York City. The people in departing left behind practically all their possessions. The one family taken as example owned 76 acres of land and rented 106 from a white landlord. The entire acreage was under cultivation, located 4½ miles from town. They left the crop in the ground in 182 acres; five mules, two horses, ten cows, sixteen hogs, many chickens, three cultivators, three 2-horse plows, a No. 12 bucker, 1,200 pounds of cotton and two wagons, a burying and a Mar "ALIAZAN" KNEW THE STINGS NOT COULD NOT RECOGNIZE DETECTIVES Claiming ability to read the stairs and thus discerning that "The plains tell me you will die soon," yet "Professor" Joseph Offen from the West Indies, commonly called the "Alkazam of Alabama," was not able to discover that the young woman whose fortune he was telling was a detective.

SCHEME HAS BEEN EXPOSED TIME AND AGAIN—STILL WORKS Poor Woman Draws $50 From Bank in Hope of Sharing Contents of Pursue—$50 Out. Barnum or some other shrewd student of human nature said once that "A new sucker is born every minute." To judge from some reported incidents it would seem that the saying had a solid foundation in truth. Probation Officer Samuel A. Gibbs, attached to the Family Court Office, 153 East 57th street, and assigned specially to the 'district that embraces a goodly portion of the Harlem section, tells of several instances in which people of apparent sense and perspicacity were swindled out of substantial sums by means of such old and much-told-of atums as the "lost pocketbook" trick, a swindle that has been exposed so many times it seems impossible for an intelligent person not to have heard of it. And yet, according to Mr. Gibbs, operators of this game are finding a fertile field here in Harlem. He tells of meeting a man at the corner of Lenox avenue and 132nd street who was trying to locate the man who, a few days previously, had introduced him to the "pocketbook game" and robbed him of $15 in the process. A more recent case was that of a woman, a resident of New York for some twenty years, who called on Probation Officer Gibbs and with tears streaming from her eyes told how two slick artists had worked her for $50. Mrs. Brown (which is not her 'name'), was walking along the street when she saw a man pick up a pocketbook. Another man, an apparent stranger, coming along at the same time, was also a witness to the pickup. He claimed a part ownership. Acknowledging his claim, the first man then said that as Mrs. Brown, who was an interested onlooker, was also entitled to a share of the findings, as she had also witnessed it. But before she could share in the division a bill of large denomination contained in the pocketbook, had to be changed. So the poor woman, controlled for the moment by the obsession that she was quickly to get something for nothing, went to the bank and drew $50 of her hard-won savings and turned it over to the two men. They went into an adjacent room to count and divide the money and that was the last she saw of them. Police officers have not been able to locate the swindlers. Mr. Gibbs adds the advice that when one sees a strange man pick up a pocketbook and offers to divide its contents, it best "go on about your business and let it alone." Georgia Plans Law To Make Soliciting Labor To Leave State a Felony (Special to The New York Age) Atlanta, Ga.—An effort to check the migration of Negroes and other farm laters; was given by the authors as the reason for introduction of a bill in the Georgia Legislature on July 19, which would make it a felony for any person or concern to solicit labor in Georgia for other states. Punishment would be a prison term of not less than three years nor more than seven. "Passage of this bill," one of the authors declared, "will result in checking the emancipation of Negroes and other farm labor of Georgia to other states."

The boat was scheduled to leave at 9:30 a.m. but according to onlookers at the West 132nd street pier, the point of debarkation, it appeared that a sufficient number of tickets had not been sold in advance, so two of Banks' lieutenants, James Garrett and Page Clay, piloted by Police Officer Cox, are alleged to have wormed their way through the crowd to a commanding point giving access to the gang plank, and announced to the milling mob that they would sell tickets to all who were unprovided. Scene of Confusion Then enauged a scene of indescribable confusion. Those who had thought to take time by the forelock and purchased tickets in advance, were buffeted hither and thither by the less thoughtful who were extremely and energetically desirous of taking part in the day's outing and who did not purpose being left at the dock simply because they had delayed in buying tickets. It was a battle royal while it lasted, for those who had already purchased tickets were in no mind to be deprived of the benefit accruing to their foresight. For nearly two hours, the battering tickets strugged against the side of would be buyers, with the ticket sellers the centre f the maelstrom. It was 11.05 a.m. by the shipmaster's chronometer, when the good old boat, the steamer Grand Republic, finally belowed a blast from its own stacks and nosed its way out into the broad reaches of the Hudson. If it was thought that the cooling river breezes would bring abatement of the hot tides that coursed through the veins of the pleasure seekers, the thought was soon proved to be without merit. For before the imaginary three mile limit was reached, the verbal barrage had evolved, it is alleged, into fist fights, bottle battles and knife grishms. Music Failed to Soothe The vaunted power of music to "soothe the savage breast" was not in evidence on this occasion, it is said, for the most strenuous endeavors of the excellent brass band which had been hired to add spice to what had been feared would be dull, unlively moments were not of sufficient volume to overwhelm the vociferous vocalisms of the by now drunken multitude. And if one sought to escape the vicious vulgarities and blatant blackguardism to be met on every stand, and attempted to search out some quiet recess of the spacious boat for relief to strained nerves, it was only to come in contact with the sharper manipulating three-card monte to relieve the unwary of his cash, or the more ubiquitous and noisy craps game, the devotees of which were grouped wherever a few feet of space afforded room for them to crouch and invoke "Lady Iuck." In the meantime, as some, god upon lofty Olympus, surrounded by a group of guests of high degree, sat the Honorable Ferdinand Q. Morton, the Negro Charles F. Murphy, leader of the United Colored Democracy, and the only race Civil Service Commissioner, accompanied by a number of paleface braves from the Tammany enclosure. Occupying a location somewhat aloof from the common herd, yet where its cavortings and gambolings were in plain view, Morton and the white men sat serenely looking out upon the bacchanalian revels. Revela for the Mighty And according to reports, the revels have been unconstrained. The scene might have been in some secluded forest where the nymphs and satyrs romped without restraint or license, for the actions of the excursionists were of a similar nature. It might have advertised as an exhibition of God's divinest work, the human body, for there were to be seen without cavil or charge the form divine, male and female, in all stages of dress and undress, principally the latter. And as the Mighty Leader and High Commissioner, with his favored white friends, surrounded by his faithful Negro satellites and lieutenants, gazed upon the scene of abandoned carousels by day, many mighty flagons of dew distillation: (oh, no, no, not alcoholic, if you please) were poured as libations upon the bacchic altara by way of the gullets of the illustrious party. It is alleged in this connection that so saturated with the sobering soft drink did the chief satyr become That is why we necessary for his faithful bishopman and good attendant of the day, emcee Pyeon, known to his followers as Charles, to act the part of carver of the roasted lion which was part of the abundant spread of food served to stay the hunger of the Commissar and his special group. An Important Venom That the space given over to Commissioner Marion and his party looked upon as sacred ground was evidenced in an alleged incident that is reported to have occurred while the party was feasting at the table. One of the vases, stupid and half-drunken from the effects of ill-advised positions, slouched up to the edge of the sacred spot and fired to a undated security, by the potent spirit he had induced, dared to address one of the illusorious whites, asking in a half-fellow, well-met tone, how he was enjoying the fun. But before the guest could decide whether to be indignantly outraged or benignantly tolerant, one of the Morton尉enants, in stantorian harmless ordered him away, using language more forcible than dignified. It a lieutenant, by the way, is reported to be one of the upper circle in the ranks of the United Colored Democracy, an office holder in the city government, and possessed wilful of one of the most brilliant minds of the racial group which surrounds Commissioper Morton. When Long View Inn was reached, the Morton party, it is allied, again occupied a organ of vantage from which the cavortings of the party could be viewed, the while that good food and satisfying drink were served in abundance. Scores of tales are told of incidents that happened during the day, most of which were calculated to bring a blush to the chook of innocence, or even to some whose first blush had long since departed. Broclaimed Raisement Just opposite Ossining, *unimply safe from its incarcerating walls*, one damselfel added another festive nymph who was garbed in raiment which the first female identified as her own, and which she declared had been surrogatically removed from its proper abiding place. The damselfel of the heme eye immediately lamechased a physical attack on the lady of alleged gilfering propensity, with the result that in a few moments one of the bashful male bystanders of chivalrous instincts had to take off his coat and lend it to the lady of the second part as drapery for her dammed lower limbs. Even then, from the waist up, more was disclosed than was hidden. Another lady attracted attention by frequent use of a rubber, tube which ran down inside of her dress. It is diligent curious, after a length of time, were rewarded by seeing the lady remove an empty half pint flask from her bosom, substituting therefor a full one, taken from a satchel upon which she kept faithful and constant watch. There was a faint auspicion that the flask contained something a bit stronger than Croton water. "Doctor" in Frequent Consultations There was a constant supply of boot-leggers' hooch available to all who were thirsty. With frequency, one would be greeted with an interrogation, "Who wants to see the doctor?" An affirmative answer would bring a further query, as to the particular kind of "medicine" (?) needed, "Gin, Corn or Good Stuff?" Then a bottle and small glass would be produced, the customer served and the coin of a value commensurate with the service required would be pocketed. The "doctor" was an frequent consultation, most of the patients requiring repeated treatments. ```markdown ``` The return voyage ended at 9.30 p.m., and the detachment of police officers which met the boat at the dock at the harbor, marrying the joyous celebrants had their hands in squeeling the exuberant stopping incipient battles, and clearing the pier. Judging from their manner on the return trip and on reaching the city, the guests of the Commissioner had lost their appetite for the festivities, as instead of showing the zest of the morning they left hurriedly from the dock in autos, taxis, or street cars and by foot, enveloped in a mantle of disgust.

MAYNES Alexander Lovings, a native of Jamaica, British West Indies, but who has been in this country since his early youth, mainly employed as headwaiter at the Hotel Kardison, St. Pau, is in jail in that city charged with murder, but all the circumstances indicate that he acted in self-defence. Donald Kuebler, a young white man, one of the patrons of the hotel and previously had treasured with the dining room forces and had been ordered by the hotel management to stay away from the hotel. On Saturday evening, May 28, Kuebler be the hotel with two friends and went to the kitchen to order something to eat. A waiter refused to take the order because of instructions from the management so to serve Kuebler. The headwaiter, Lovings, headed up his ordnance. Kuebler left, but returned shortly afterwards armed with a hudgdon he had secured, and made his way toward Lovings. Someone cried a warning and when Lovings turned and saw the white man advancing with the heavy club, it was his first impulse to defend himself. Because of previous trouble with this same man, Lovings was armed. He fired three shots, two of which found their mark, and Kushner died a half hour later. J. E. MORELAND, AFTER 31 YEARS SERVICE TO RETIRE NOV. 1ST Harper's Ferry, W. Va.-Dr. J. E. Moorland, after thirty-one years of service as secretary, colored men's department, International Commission of the Y. M. C. A. will be retired November 1 from active duty, under regulations of the association. Anticipating his retirement, a general committee composed of representatives from many of the leading colleges of the country, with leading business men, members of the variegate Y. M. C. A. boards, arranged elaborate testimonial exercises in his honor which were held on July 10, in the chapel of Storer College. The program included tributes by John F. Moorland, president of the secretary, New York, Dr. John Hage of Mouthpeace College, Atlanta; W. C. McCard of Baltimore; Rev. C. H. Tubing, secretary, International Committee; F. B. Ransom of Indiana; Wm. W. Worthman of New York; Rev. M. W. Johnston of Charleston; Dr.詹恩 J. Scott of Howard University; with a response by Mr. Moorland.

Stripped of Suit Worn To Court When Accused Of Theft By Bronx Man Frank Dowdell, a Negro living in Rockaway Beach, pleaded not guilty on July 19 in Special Sessions, the Bronx, of the theft of a suit belonging to Samuel Feldman, of 207 Creston avenue, the Bronx, and, when his trial had been set for August 9 and bail had been furnished started to walk out. "Why, he's got the suit on right now," came an agonized wall from Mr. Feldman, "and if he keeps on wearing it until August 9 how can I call it my Sunday suit? Ten dollars' worth of wear at the very least he will get out of it." Detective Carter collared Dowdell and started to remove the evidence. Dowdell's attorney protested, but the court decided the police had a right to it. Dowdell was taken to a cigar store stripped and planted in a barrel until Curtar found him a pair of trousers, in which he made the trip to Rockaway Beach. Now all the influence of the white boy's whimsey family and that of his friends is brought to bear in the efforts to convict the enforced man of murder, although it is just about as plain a case of self-defense as was ever enacted. Mrs. Lovings, the landlord's wife, appealed to the N. A. A. C. P., but that organization refused aid, saying the case was not "widely the scope of the Association's activism," and in addition, Walter P. White, assistant secretary, wrote that funds for further legal obligations were not available. So Mrs. Lovings is trying to raise money for the defense of her husband. The law firm of K. J. and J. W. Fox of Eastern, leading practitioners, are defending Lovings, and a letter from Edward J. Fox defends that his investigations show Lovings to be a man of "good character, peaceful disposition and never would have harmed any one if it had not been under circumstances such as exist in the present case, that the victim brought the injury upon himself." Mr. Fox writes also that he believes in the innocence of Lovings. The Agro will receive funds for this purpose, and receipt of all amounts will be acknowledged in these columns and the money turned over to the proper sources.

Principal Howe Makes Statement Concerning Manassas Ind'l School Manassas, Va.-The present financial crisis which the Manassas Industrial School, for Colored Youth is facing has given rise to a number of statements which are not founded in fact. Principal E. W. Howe stamps as erroneous the article published in several Washington papers to the effect that the "Manassas Industrial School has been taken over from the trustees" by a Baptist Council of Churches which had elected a full corps of officers to look after the affairs of the institution. The true state of affairs, said Mr. Howe, is that the Baptist institutions of Northern Virginia are engaged in an effort to raise $8,000 to insure the keeping open of the school and the Baptist Ministers' Conference of the Washington was asked to cooperate with the Virginia Baptists in this effort. In return for their cooperation and financial assistance, it is proposed that recognition of the Washington ministers be shown by the election of at least two of their number to the board of trustees. It is in accordance with this suggestion that the Washington Conference organized itself into an educational convention with a quota of officers for the purpose of raising money to help the school in its present financial crisis. The Summer School at Mamasas is closing today (July 28), after a successful session since June 18. During the six weeks these were 186 teachers enrolled for the course, coming from 38 counties.

COMPANY HAS PAID OBLIGATIONS TO BANK AND PRIVATE PARTIES of Store. Few people in Harlem know what their support of the A. I. Hart 5, 10 and 25 cent store at 138th street and Seventh avenue has meant to that firm during the first six months of its operation in the new store. It has just passed the most difficult period in its history and is about to enter upon its first big scam. After operating two small stores for several years, the stockholders voted to consolidate into one large store at the new Casino building. For the purpose of fitting and equipping this new store the company borrowed a total of $19,700. This money was borrowed on notes of slant, ninety days, six months, etc., and it was necessary for the new store to not only do enough business to pay an enlarged staff and increased overhead expenses, but also to pay the interest on these notes and to pay them off as they come due. During the first six months of operation, each month showed an increase over the previous month, and the company has been able to pay its entire obligation to the Chelsea Exchange Bank and several private loans. But the past month has caused a slump in business here as at most retail establishments and the public is urged to continue its support of this worthy enterprise. This store is ably managed, well stocked and should be the pride of the colored people of Harlem. It is a New York corporation with a capital stock of $30,000. Its directors are Arthur F. Hart, the president and general manager, W. T. McLennon and Miss J. McPherson. This store is one of the few colored businesses with a first class rating with the commercial agencies of the city and has a reputation of never having been used during its entire career. The A. L. Hart store has a fine exhibit at the Negro Business Exposition, now in progress at the Renaissance Casino, and all of us should realize that it is our duty to support a business of this character owned and operated by a member of our race. As we increase our support of this business, we make it possible for larger businesses to be developed by our race and furnish opportunity for employment for colored boys and girls who are finishing business and commercial courses in our schools and colleges.

The designation of candidates for Alderman and Assemblyman in the Twenty-first Assembly District at an unofficial convention of Republican leaders, must be taken as the prelude to an intensive political campaign this fall. The ticket selected was characterized as the strongest presented to the voters for a number of years and the method of its selection was an example of the harmonious working of the system of associate district leaders representing the colored voters. It is the first time that the choice of candidates has been based solely upon the recommendation of representatives of this element of the party strength.

The ticket selected was characterized as the strongest presented by the voters for a number of years and the method of its selection was an example of the harmonious working of the system of associate district leaders representing the colored voters. It is the first time that the notice of candidates has been based solely upon the recommendation of representative of this element of the party strength. While the only State candidates to be voted for this year are members of the Assembly, the only branch of the State government remaining under Republican control, the contest will be most important the personal popularity of Governor Smith will be thrown in the scale to help make the state government wholly Democratic, while the Republicans will strive to maintain their hold on the Legislature and pave the way for Republican success in the following residential election. It is therefore essential that every person eligible to vote should take an active part in the campaign. The first duty of the voter who desires to make his, or her, vote count for all that is worth, is to enroll as a member of some political party. Then at the primary elections in September, he can have a voice in choosing the candidates to be placed on the party ticket. While certain candidates may unofficially designated, it requires a majority of the enrolled voters to confirm that election at the primary. Then comes the necessity for registration of the voters by personal attendance at the polling places on certain days in October. The general election follows on the Tuesday following the next Monday in November, which this year will be the 6th of the month. In addition to the members of Assembly Aldermen to be elected in New York this fall, two Representatives in Congress are to be chosen, to fill the places of Bourke Cockran and Daniel J. Riordan, both deceased. One associate judge of the Court of Appeals and several Supreme Court justices are also to be elected. Five proposed amendments to the State Constitution will also be submitted to popular vote, the most important of which is the one providing for a bonus to the soldiers who died in the World War. The greatest interest, however, will center the contest for the Assembly, which will stand an intensive campaign. The necessity for the choice of men of proved ability character as candidates for Assembly and Aldermen is so plain, as to leave excuse for a blunder in this particular.

SUPERSTITION DIES HARD. or generations in the South, when a crime has been discovered, the practice has to send for the sheriff, or any other person possessing bloodhounds, and to set it on the trail of the fugitive suspected committing the offence.

By an innocent black man has been ruth-ly lynched because the pursuing blood- For generations in the South, when a crime has been discovered, the practice has been to send for the sheriff, or any other person possessing bloodhounds, and to set them on the trail of the fugitive suspected of committing the offence. When these dogs found a scent and followed it to its source there was scant opportunity for the person trailed to avoid paying the penalty, however lacking the corroborative testimony connecting him with the crime. Many an innocent black man has been ruthlessly lynched because the pursuing bloodhounds stopped at his cabin when following a trail. It remained for the Chief Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court to question the worth of such "bloodhound testimony", in a recent case on appeal. Mitchell Davis of Franklin parish, a white man apparently, was convicted of murder because it was testified a dog followed a trail from the scene of the killing and brought up at Davis' home, a quarter of a mile away. The court affirmed the conviction, but the dissenting opinion of the Chief Justice secured for the defendant a rehearing of his petition for a new trial. In discrediting the reliability of such testimony, the Chief Justice said: be faced by and to press-examine the witness against him. In a case, of course, it may be said that the bloodhound does not testify, that his conduct is the subject of the testimony merely as the circumstance, showing guilt of the person trailed by the hound. But this statement, that the bloodhound does not testify, is only skin deep. The bloodhound, in such case, is a supposed expert witness, who cannot give any reason for his expert opinion of the guilt of the person whom he trails. "To admit such testimony is the same as to say that testimony of lookers-on would be admissible to prove that a human being with an abnormal sense of smell trailed the person on trial and pointed him out so the guilty party even if the human could not give any reason for his expert opinion, the administration of justice is a practical affair. "Some innot put more credence in weird, uncanny, unexplainable circumstances than they accord to simple facts, and some have more faith even in mediumistic messages from planchettes and ouija boards. The so-called 'bloodhound testimony', being unexplainable, savors of superstition, and is as harbous and dreadful as witchcraft itself." And thousands of black men have been changed and burned upon such testimony, the barbarous and dreadful character of such evidence being equally matched by the proceedings of the mob which accepted it. While most intelligent and thinking people will accept the Chief Justice's opinion as to the worthlessness of "bloodhound testimony" as convincing proof of guilt, it will be observed that his associates did not agree with him. Superstition dies hard in Louisiana and other backward states, where such barbarous practices as lynching and mob law are tolerated and encouraged. When the disenting opinion of the enlightened Chief justice becomes the majority opinion of the court, we may hope for better things in Louisiana.

GEESE IN THE COTTON FIELD An item that has been going the rounds the press and finally arrived at the dignity publication in a New York financial journal, reads as follows: An item that has been going the rounds of the press and finally arrived at the dignity of publication in a New York financial journal, reads as follows: Geese are being used everywhere in Arkansas to take the place of migrating Negroes. They free the ground of all grass and weeds, but they do not eat the cotton. Any person familiar with the cultivation of cotton must realize that the Arkansas planters are reduced to pretty hard straits for labor when they are compelled to employ geese to keep the weeds out of the cotton patches. The only way to cultivate cotton properly is with a hoe, which enables the plant to draw moisture from the deeper portion of the soil. This is the principle of dry farming—plough deep and cultivate even. While the geese may kill the weeds they cannot cultivate, hence the cotton will not do well. The results of the lack of sufficient labor in the proper cultivation of cotton, are known by the reports published in various trade journals. The "Financial and Commercial Chronicle," as far back as last June, announced the present crop "distressingly low." "calamitously small" and the conditions for a new crop "exercably bad." Scarcity of labor was mentioned by all the big financial journals as a cause for these conditions and reference was made to the exodus of Negroes from South Carolina. The Amphis "Commercial Appeal" estimated this year's cotton crop at 10,919,000 bales. The government estimate, sent out July 1, exceed it at 11,412,000 bales, which New York City cotton experts claim is too high. Most of the newspapers connect the shortage of the cotton crop with the scarcity of or due to Negro migration, although some leavor to substitute the holl weevil as the main cause. But it is questionable if the thousands of white workers in the textile industries of the North realize that their units of employment are jeopardized by the depression and injustice that have substituted geese for human labor in the cotton mills of Arkansas. The chain of suffering entailed by man's humanity to man has many links. The age and oppression that drives black workers from the cotton fields and lessens production of that staple, will eventually be the mill factories in the North and drive the white workers of steady emment. Any person familiar with the cultivation of cotton must realize that the Arkansas planters are reduced to pretty hard straits for labor when they are compelled to employ geese to keep the weeds out of the cotton patches. The only way to cultivate cotton properly is with a hop, which enables the plant to draw moisture from the deeper portion of the soil. This is the principle of dry farming—plough deep and cultivate often. While the geese may kill the weeds they cannot cultivate, hence the cotton will not do well.

The peonage and oppression that drives black laborers from the cotton fields and lessens the production of that staple, will eventually close the mill factories in the North and deprive the white workers of steady employment. USING SURPLUS:LABOR. The announcement that the steel industry finally decided to yield to the wide demand for an eight hour day has led the way to utilize the surplus labores of this country. The steel plants hitherto been operated on a continuous which required two twelve hour shifts workmen for a day's work. Under the age proposed three shifts will be reed of eight hours each.

The principal objec- The announcement that the steel industry has finally decided to yield to the widespread demand for an eight hour day has pointed the way to utilize the surplus labor forces of this country. The steel plants have hitherto been operated on a continuous scale, which required two twelve hour shifts of workmen for a day's work. Under the change proposed three shifts will be required of eight hours each. This change which has been urged for several years in the interest of the workers in this industry, has been steadily opposed by the operators on various grounds. The principal objection stated by Judge Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel Corporation and spokesman for the steel plants generally, has been the lack of surplus labor and the additional cost of manufacturing. The force of public opinion directed against the continuance of the twelve hour day manifested through various civic organizations and church federations, backed by President Harding's recommendation, has brought about this change. Judge Gary finally announced that a start would be made in adopting the new schedule by August, which would require ninety thousand more workmen. He was not so definite in searing from what served the additional labor demanded would be obtained, but was quoted as saying that "workmen are coming from the South, the colored men, the Mexicans from Mexico, the Filipinos, and the Canadians, and immigration is increasing a little. I think." Another head of this industry. President Grace of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation was inclined to put more stress on foreign immigration. He said that those who favored the establishment of the eight hour day, should use their influence to urge a change in the immigration laws making it possible to obtain immigrants of the best type, selected on the other side, in quantities as they are needed. He admitted that some companies have been using Negroes in large numbers, but added: "We have not done so because our operating officials like the Mexican laborer better." It would be interesting to learn the cause of this preference expressed for alien labor from the southern borders. It can hardly be that the Mexican is more easily exploited than the Negro from the South. At any rate the change to the eight hour day in the iron and steel industry promises to increase the avenues opening to Negro labor from the South. The State legislators in Georgia would appear to be of that opinion, as a bill was introduced last week making it a felony for any person or concern to solicit labor in Georgia for other States, punishable by a prison term of three to seven years. The reason given for its introduction was to check the migration of Negroes and other farm laborers. Another attempt to check migration from the South was reported in the editorial columns of the New York "Herald," which has steadfastly opposed the movement, while favoring unrestricted foreign immigration. This was a broadcast notice by the superintendent of the Ohio Employment Service that there is a man for every job in Cleveland and that further placement of labor seekers is impossible. This Cleveland incident is interpreted by the "Herald" as affording quise for Southern industry to hope that the North's capacity for absorption of Southern colored labor has about been reached. We think it is too soon to indulge such a hope. The Cleveland notice may truly reflect local conditions, but the eight hour day in the steel and iron trade, together with the maintenance of the restrictions against foreign immigration, and the general revival of industry, will keep active the demand for labor in other sections. The proper distribution of the migrating workers from the South, and their adaptability to the work required of them, are important elements of the situation. Placed in jobs where needed and given a fair day's work for a fair days wage, they should prove a valuable factor in any community. COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS The Ottumwa, Iowa, Daily Courier took occasion to command the patriotic address made by George H. Woodson, a colored attorney of Des Moines, during the Knights of Pythias convention, saying "no convention should be held by any body of patriotic Americans, anywhere in the United States, without such an address on its program." Mr. Woodson said among other things: "Two few of us, here in America, appreciate what our government means to us and what it does for us. That is true of other races as well as our own. We enjoy rights as citizens for which we our government the utmost fidelity and devotion. You and I have had greater freedom here in America that we could obtain in any other country under any office government. In recognition of that fact we owe it to our government to serve and protect it against its enemies. And its enemies are active, in times of peace as well as in periods of war. They are active now, with their campaign of disgust and prejudice and discontent. They deserve no help from us; on the other hand, we should exert ourselves to the utmost to defeat their aims. We never should cease to thank our Creator that we are American citizens." The Ottumwa, Iowa, Daily Courier took occasion to commend the patriotic address made by George H. Woodson, a colored attorney of Des Moines, during the Knights of Pythia convention, saying "no convention should be held by any body of patriotic Americans, anywhere in the United States, without such an address on its program." Mr. Woodson said among other things: "Too few to us, here in America, appreciate what our government means to us and what it does for us. That is true of other cities as well as our own. We enjoy rights as citizens for which we own our government the utmost faith, loyalty and devotion. You and I have had greater freedom here in America than we could obtain in any other country under any other government. In recognition of that fact we owe it to our government to serve if and protect it against its enemies. And its enemies are active, in times of peace as well as in periods of war. They are active, now, with their campaigns of disgust and prejudice and discontent. They deserve no help from us; on the other hand, we should exert ourselves to the utmost to defeat their aims. We never should cease to thank our Creator that we are American citizens." Despite all drawbacks and injustices, much of the above is fundamentally true. It only remains for the broad spirit of true Americanism to make the truth apply to all sections of the country. The Savannah Journal is inclined to be optimistic over the ultimate outcome of the Northern exodus, so far as it affects the situation in the South. It said: The trend of Negroes to the North is yet ceaseless. Efforts are being put forth to check the exodus, but up to now they have not been effective. A remedy of righteousness is being injected into the situation and the causes are being rapidly removed. Better conditions are looming in sight and deeper thought upon the part of the people here is being indulged. The remedy of righteousness is the only effective means of meeting the emergency. When the causes that have caused migration are removed, the movement may be expected to subside to a normal degree. But the better conditions must be permanent and founded on justice and fairplay.

In attacking the ignorance of Sunday funerals, the Birmingham, Ala., Reporter made the sensible observations: The simplest and shortest ceremony is the most attractive, pleasing and helpful memorial. Our funeral exercises are too long. The life lived is the best sermon. The service done is the highest and best expression of the deceased. Sunday funerals are becoming a menace to society and especially is this, true as regards, church society. The fraternal orders are disdisplacing the Sabbath by holding over bodies in order to advertise the institution. The simplest and shortest ceremony is the most attractive, pleasing and helpful memorial. Our funeral exercises are too long. The life lived is the best sermon. The service done is the highest and best expression of the deceased. Sunday funerals are becoming a menace to society and especially in this true as regards church society. The fraternal orders are dissipating the Sabbath by holding over bodies in order to advertise the institution. This will prove in time poor advertisement and we don't believe now that the several administrations would enclose this method of attracting members. It is sometimes the fault of the families in a conscious or unconscious method to advertise the passing of some relative. This is bad judgment and should be hated in the most speedy way possible. We have known entirely a wholesale congregation to how to be present backpacking. This is to be present at a popular funeral. This is a desecration of the Sabbath, a diversion of its purpose and a painful set. exhibition of ignorance and unnecessary display. Many passors refuse to surround their churches for such purposes as it interferes with the regular routine of worship. Proper respect and reverence can be paid to the departed without turning the occasion into such an exhibition as the average Sunday funeral. It is announced that the St. Lopis Clarion has resumed publication with "several very intelligent, progressive and energetic young men who have formed a stock company with $10,000 capital." Intelligence, youth and capital, especially if in cash, are high cards in the newspaper game. As the Georgia legislature is now in session, the Savannah Tribune proposes to test the simplicity of those white Southerners, who claim that the State can suppress lynching. It said: Every effort should be made to have an anti-lynch or anti-mob law enacted at this session. During the discussion of the Dyer Bill in Congress, certain Democratic members and the Southern press claimed that such laws should be enacted by the several states and several pledged support to this idea. The Georgia dailies especially advocated it, and now they have a chance to prove their sincerity. Such a law would mean much to Georgia. Many investors are timid on account of past lawlessness in the state, but with this safeguard, business would increase, and high class farmers and emigrants would locate here. No greater opportunity could be afforded the advocates of law and order in the South to make good their pretensions. The lawmakers of Georgia should brand lynchers as murderers and penalize the community that upholds them in lawlessness. Praising playgrounds as a good investment the Norfolk Journal and Guide said: The City of Norfolk has only one street shower for colored children, this being located at Washington avenue and O'Keefe street, while thousands of children in the other sections have not this blessing. It is the community's duty to provide safety and comfort for the citizens of tomorrow, and we know of no investment bringing better profit. We have established a community center for the young, men and young women, but the children have been sadly neglected. It is time that the movement receive the consideration to which it is entitled. The Civic League and other organizations should urge upon the authorities the immediate installation of playgrounds and street showers in different parts of the city. The output is small but the income in health, happiness and comfort cannot be fully estimated. Proper means of exercise and recreation for growing children are a necessary feature of the modern community. Such a progressive city as Norfolk should not need to be reminded of its duty toward any class of citizens in this particular. Commenting on the fact that Florida leads the lynchers for the first six months of 1923, the Florida Sentinel, published at Jacksonville, said: As for Florida, a few more incidents as the one at Palm Beach, which is famous as a tourist resort and Florida will have to look to something else besides its tourist trade. The savages that delight in murdering helpless people at night, will soon find themselves some do not care to be an audits an atmosphere. Florida needs at the present time to do all in its power to erase the stain from its name which shows so prominently as a result of the convict leases and certainly it needs to be more exact in its law enforcement. Enlightened self-interest, if no higher sentiment, should lead to the suppression of the mob excesses in such states as Florida. But enlightenment of any kind is so rare in that State as to be almost negligible in its influence. The task of enlightening Florida still remains for the Hon. William Jennings Bryan to assume. The Portland, Oregon, Advocate, referring to a recent presidential utterance, said: If Mr. Harding would take a stand for the enforcement of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the United States Constitution like he has taken for the enforcement of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution, nobody would be able to truthfully say that he is playing politics. To take such a stand as that indicated above would require a degree of courage and consistency not compatible with the Republicanism of these times. Unfortunately, even if President Harding took such a stand, the probabilities are that he would stand alone. Commenting on the celebration of its fiftieth anniversary, the Southwestern Christian Advocate of New Orleans, the official organ of the Negro membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church, said: The mission of the Southwestern Christian Advocate is not as yet fully realized. It has only gotten well under way for the gigantic struggle that will challenge the best in the life of the church as well as the best in our group life. In the working of a practical brotherhood we have fallen short of the idealism of Jesus Christ and even of the idealism of Abraham Lincoln. Even the Constitution of the United States of America and our Declaration of Independence are not lived up to, in several particulars. We have too many marginal references to explain the application of certain paragraphs. On the other hand within our own group life, there is still much to be corrected, much for which we should and do apologize. The Southwestern Christian Advocate is to find its greatest challenge in taking a plastic race and making it fit for a worthy place in the universal brotherhood of Christian believers. This is an object worthy of the best efforts of religious journalism, of which the Southwestern represents the highest type. The Age Readers' Forum A NEGRO READS DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE FROM THE OLD BOSTON STATE HOUSE time to Governor Denley, "urging him to remove Negroes of bad reputation from the Clackamall downtown section." It continued: The petition recites that 3000 Negro children are being raised in the section complained of, and the influence of evildoes in their neighborhood cannot but work harm. The petition asks that certain Negro Cabaret and poor rooms in the 16th and 18th wards be investigated. The suppression of evil reports of this kind would seem to be the duty, of the police. The local authorities must have neglected their work sadly, when such an appeal to the state executive is found necessary. The Arkansas Survey, published at Little Rock, under the heading of "A Problem in Arithmetic," presented the following facts for consideration: If we are committed to a theory that all men are born equal with certain un- By Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield It was to be expected that the rebuke given the officers of Harvard University by the alumni and broad-minded friends of the institution because of their plan to exclude capable and well-equipped Negro students from the full privileges of the University, had definitely settled the question of the citizen rights of the members of that race in Massachusetts. But it seems not to have touched the belated minds of several Bostonians now citizens of Charlotte, N. C., who recently strongly protested against the selection by the Mayor of a Negro boy to read the Declaration of Independence from the balcony of the old Boston State House on July 4th. What more appropriate than this—the reading of the Declaration of Independence by a member of a race liberated, enfranchised, and lifted into the larger life of the nation under the terms of that immortal document. And deepened significance is given to such a program by the very surroundingshish. For as the colored lad would stand on the balcony of the State House, he would face just across the way, the supreme battle monument of St. Gaudens depicting in bronze the marching Negro troops, grim, determined, manful, courageous, under the leadership of Colonel Shaw, the flower of New England manhood. It is a monument in the presence of which when I meditate, my heart is strangely moved, or even in casual passing of the same. I instinctively stand with uncovered head. And always I am thrilled by the moving lines carved on the monument: "Right in the van On the red ramparts slippery swell With heart that beat a charge he fell Foeward as fits a man; But the high soul burns on to light men's feet Where death for noble ends makes dying sweet." And who can ever forget he message from Fort Warner where Colonel Shaw fell and was buried with his black soldier comrades "The colored troops fought nobly." Furthermore the significant word on the great memorial is "Together." Such the surroundings amid which Charles C. Dogan was to read the Declaration on July 4th giving fresh significance and living illustration to the truth of the document, that "all men are created free and equal." And why was this Negro youth chosen? This is the Mayor's tribute: "He was selected for the honor conferred upon him for excellent reasons. He has shown a competence and capacity in the generous rivalries of school life to make him a worthy choice; he is an 'honor pupil' that is to say, a pupil of more than ordinary attainments; his choice has the approbation of his fellow-pupils; and his selection to read the immortal declaration is an expression of our recognition of his services of his race in Massachusetts to A New Phase of the Race Question. (From Tampa (Fla. Enquirer) It is hard to square the action of the white people of Tuskegee, Alabama, with the accepted doctrines and beliefs of the entire South. Here is a hospital built by the general government at a cost of $20,000,000 for the treatment of Negro war veterans. It has been temporarily in charge of white caretakers but Director Hines of the Veterans' Bureau has declared that Negro doctors and surgeons, with of course Negro nurses, are to be in charge hereafter. One would naturally suppose that such a course would meet the instant approbation of the white citizens. It is entirely in line with the doctrine of separation of the races, which has consistently and properly been held, by the entire South ever since slavery was abolished. It is best for both races. It will satisfy the Negroes that they are being treated fairly and justly, and will remove many causes of friction between the races. The whites declare they will not permit the hospital to open with Negroes, in charge, and 400 manked Klammen have paraded through the streets as a protest against the Negroes being permitted to care for the veterans of their own color who fought for the flag on the fields of France and Belgium. So earnest and determined are the whites in their opposition to the placing of Negroes in charge that the Negroes have been intimidated and have appealed to Washington for protection against mob violence. The opposition seems peculiarly inconsistent, in view of the feet that Thibodegue Institute has been carrying on its educational work for Negroes and by Negroes for forty years or more, and has been immensely beneficial to the race. We have seen it stated that the medical and surgical services powered by a white man whose wife was a resident at the hospital before its formal opening and would necessarily lose her job if it should be turned over to the Negroes. The whole economy has a pro- gram and principal purpose. The official and expediency of bringing what difficult rights and that in the law accuses no man if a public schools have been prepared everybody to prepare for the of citizenship, and it requires 12 years of constant attendance for 9 months each year, in the buildings, modernly equipped with the best prepared to future citizens of our great members of the other groups for the same exacting duty, but get only 3 months for an average of 3 to 5 poorest kind of building prepared teachers, how much are the members of the school led to be than the member group.

PIT-A-PAT NURSES TESTIFY THAT KLAN WAS FED AT THE VETERANS' NOSPITAL, NIGHT OF PARADI (Continued from First Page) tion on Friday night, July 27, either at Tuskegee or Montgomery. Miss Wood told Gen. Hines that she was present on July 3 when Miss Phlebs asked Miss A. L. Turner, colored, acting chief nurse, for ten sheets. On July 6, Miss Wood saw the sheets returned and their condition. In the meantime, Miss Turner, who is in jail, was found to be too ill, and she has been billed for Miss Ether Bullock of Chicago who is characterized as being more easily managed, has been promoted to acting chief nurse in the stead of Miss Turner. Evidence of Stanley's attitude is shown in the statement that he called the nurses to a conference and informed them that since they were in the South, knowing local conditions, nobody would be addressed as "Miss He." His claim that would allow "the Nurse" to attend. Only of the white physicians used the term "Miss" in addressing the nurses, and he is a native of Philadelphia. Another sample of the Stanley method is in the order which keeps the patients in bed practically twenty out of twenty-four hours. This order came near precipitating a serious case on occasion, when the whites ordered, with the help of patients to bed some time before the required hour. They refused, and the colored nurse who was in charge of about forty patients, would not, at first, attempt to enforce the unjust requirement. The doctor called two of the guards, white Alabama husbies, but they were edified by the until the retiring who still refused to go in, the nurse, fearing himself, finally persuaded the group, to go in, in the meantime the retiring hour had passed.

Migrating Colored Laborers (From the New York Herald) There is a man for every available job in Cleveland and for this reason B. C. Seipe, Ohio's Superintendent of Employment-Service, has been requested by the City authorities to publish abroad the fact that further placement of labor seekers in Cleveland is impossible. Without stressing the point, the warning is primarily addressed to the colored men of the South who have been denied numbers during the past six or seven months, lured by glowing high wage promises. For some reason not quite explicable Cleveland seems to have been a favored destination for these Negro migrants. They have been, and still are, arriving in streams. They cannot be stopped from coming if they have the money to pay for the Cleveland slave labor that she has no more work to give them. Because of immigration restriction of foreign white labor the steel industry, together with automobile, rubber, glass and other industries closely interlocked with that of steel, faced a strong and expanding demand for output with a cramping labor shortage. Advertising campaigns directed to colored workers in the State were launched. Richmond was one of the clearing houses for this work. New Orleans was another. From both these centers, by printed advertisement and by roving labor recruiting agents, cents an hour and living rates as low alluring tales of wages as high as 40 at SS. 5 a week were spread profusely throughout the South. A thousand men wanted here, another thousand there. And so it is until great wars of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, and Louisiana were all discussing the opportunities in the North. Then came the swarming. During the last seven months South Carolina alone has lost 55,000 Negro laborers. Probably as many more have left Georgia, while other States have been proportionately driven out of the South to stem the tide. Some Southern newspapers refused to print the labor agency advertisements. Local laws restraining personal appeals were so rigorously enforced that the traveling propagandist had to resort to surreptitious methods. Nor were these efforts wholly self- ish by any means.

Letters telling of deception and unfilled promises are coming back from stranded Negroes in the North. These are now supplemented by Cleveland's ac- tivity warning. These aspects of the Negro immigration problem were fully discussed by The New York Herald. The Cleveland incident may cause Southern industry to hope that the North's capacity for absorption of Southern colored labor has about been reached. New Bugaboo for Harding. In addition to other troubles that face President Harding as he emerges from Alaska is a brand new set of difficulties just placed in his way in Atlantic City by the National Colored Republican Conference which, under the leadership of fighters like Dr. George E. Cannon and Rev. William Byrd of Jersey City, has formed into a national organization to assist in the defense of the President and other Republican leaders. The ultimatum to the Washington Administration is that the idea of excluding Negroes from Federal offices in the South must be abandoned. The 14th and 15th Amendments to the United States Constitution, supposed to guarantee the rights, must be enforced in the South. The president is talking emphatically about the enforcement of the 18th Amendment. The Washington Administration is furthermore to be told that the Colored Disabled Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., from which the colored man was admitted recently excluded and a white staff substituted, must again be allowed to come into full control of the Negroes. The National Colored Conference also demands that the Federal order disarming, while in Georgia, the colored 24th United States Infantry Regiment just to please the Georgia whites, who do not like the idea of a thousand armed Negro soldiers in their State, must be revoked at once and the arms restored to this regiment, even when it happens to be located in the Cracker State. The Negro leader is sufficient to make more than one Republican leader lake at night in ordinary times, but coming now on the eve of the Presidential campaign of 1924, the colored ultimatum looms up like a specially disturbing spectre.

COLL FOR WOMEN NURSES TION WITH L, NEW YORK, N. Y. | In The 4 ji 4+ of Realm ' “¥*" ' Music If | Were aBig Church Organist” Norfolk, Virginia . (in NotI /ompmas GRe tree). A “dig church” organist is one Who holds the position of organist and choi saster in a church large enough %0 afford his or her some very definite prerequisi fo soccess. A’ church with a large menibership is able to. pay its music direcfl a worthwhile salary, to fumith him a farge field from which to make salectia of voices from a firkt-class choir, and ty supply him a large organ and the couper ation and prestige necessary ,for successful musical “ventures. | That there are‘such churches among us is evidenced by the fact that: Norfélk several prominent churches have paid their enganists all the way fror + $65 to,$125 per month. Besides, the instrament in these churches have range ia price from $5,000 to $7,800, while neemberships: average well above 1,500 ex clusive of many.-musically inclined young people in the Sunday-echool and young people's societies. = ‘Now, if I were organist of such a church, there are certain objectives towar which I would aim. It would he my purpose, fitst to puild wp an at-ron choir choir that would sing well and with undernanding the great hynme the church, ‘Jubilee ‘melodies, and those light evangelistic songs so sucossafelh peed im great revivals, as well as the justly admired classical ambem Soci 8 hoir would do more than entertain the clite, it wool! truly led the congre getion in its worship in song. ” 2 ‘ Further, my choir would be an ever-growing organization, I would be aoe timually on the lookout for promising voices, which I would train ether dadividually or in auxiliary choirs with a view to adding them to my nmin cholf as for om reason or another older singers dropped out. And then I think it would be by no means out of place for me to urge upon my choir the need of consecration There work would be spiritual, why not they be spiritually minded. ‘Also, it would be my purpose to perfect my own tedhnique end to conrpletety waster the instrument at my disposal. Whatever it took in the way of repding and study of musical text books and periodicals, or of paid lessons from a recog nized superior and of faithful practice, I would readily supply. Moreover, I would ‘allow no opportunity to pass for hearing the living masters of my art. ‘Another very important essential to peccess, but overlooked by muny ‘big arch” organist, is the necessity for elevating the musical taste of our citisens which is tadly low. - With all the school teachers, business and professional men and womer, high school and college graduates, music teachers, music lovers, and members of mu- sical clabs, it is yet notoriomly true that first clase musical entertainers can scarcely draw crowd enough to guarantee expenses. On the other hand, a local “jure” soloist or a church choir that sing» everything screaming at the top of reir voices or a couple of faleetto-singing male quartets can peck our churches! and, lecture halls in season and out. 7 A master of the “king of instruments” can play faultlesaty and be counted ‘as “nobody to rave about,” while seme crescendo-pedaling, hand-raising, shoulder- shaking performer can “set the house wild." . If T were a “big church” organist, I would set mytelf to the tsk of changing all this. 1 would do it by inviting to my town at-regular intervals some of the generally recognized masters. Continual boosting of such men and women, along with the attempt on my part to roatch them in my own playing and in the singing, individually and .collectively, of my choir, would gradually produce the desired ‘effect upon-the people. For example take the changing tastes of the people in regaid to preaching. Many a “shouting congregation” has been changed into » “listening congregation” in less than two years by persistent following df such 2 policy. But the pastor himself has had to aim at preaching attentioa-bokding sermons rather than mere “amen-getters,” and he hai had to invite only scholarly men to his pujpit. | But I szy without fear of successful contradiction, no such followed by our local “dig church” organists. Not a single ce eel the pipe organ or of choral singing, with the lone exception of Prof. Miller, al Beal white member of the American Guild of Organists, has been Yovited to’ perform in a single colored church within the last nine years!

Former Alderman Harris Takes Undue Credit For Lifting of Mixed-Bout Ban Initiatory Action Was Taken By Geo. P. Moore, Manager of Boxers, and He Was Supported By Chas. W. Ander- son—Others Are Due More Praise Than Harris. . = @Eewemictape. ¢ goo | Im last week's issue of The New York News we notice hat former Alderman Geo, W. Harris is claiming credit foe the breaking down of the color line in boxing circles in this state. We fail to see bow Mr. Harris can take full ‘credit ‘for bringing about the retum of mixed bouts to this state as he is not due the major credit. > Until George P. Moore came to New York from Portland Oregon about two Zee ayo, there had been no mixed utsin this state since the recent world war. Moore, who is the mana- ger of Danny Edwards, believed that he bad a future champion in Edwards and wanted him to meet some of tne leading white fighters in his class. He found that be could not get a fight for hia man in this state and immediately began investigating the situation. This investigation disclosed the fact that the State Boxing Commission had ta- boced mixed bouts. Moore saw that politica! influence was necessary to ave ‘the commission change its atti- tude in this matter, and through In- ternal Revenue Collector Chas. W, An- derson, arranged a conference with the chairman of the Republican County Committee, Samuct S, Koenig. He invited Fred R. Moore, Alderman Harris, the editor of the Amsterdam News and other representatives of the rolored press, to attend the conference, but as we remember, those who at- Benny Ponteai Loses Decision to Kid Brown ; Benny FPonteau, former amateur lightweight champion, was defeated in the twelve round star‘bour at the Com- facnwealth Club on Saturday -nigh?, july 14, by Harry “Kid Brown” of Pldelpntz Despite the sweltering eat the bout provedto be a keen and imteresting contest. Brown took the lead earty-in the fight and put his col- ‘ered openent on.the defensive, but Pon- team pat up a splendid defensive battle, ‘and although outpoimed he took a minimum of penishment. Toward the end of oor Brown slowed up con- ‘siderably in the last two rounds, toth fighters slugged away with n.i- ther having the advantage. The weights in this contest were, 132 pounds for Brown and 1M for Ponteau. In the semisfinal bout scheduled tor twelve rounds, Boddy Jackson of Pan- ama wou a technical knockout over Ed Keeley of Penn in the third romd. The it promised to be o sensational one, with Keeley having 9 slight advantage in the first two rounds. In the third round the white. fighter sudéealy dropped bis left arm anv claimed it had: becn brokem. After am examigation ty the club physician it was found that his forearm had been fractured and the Lot was stepped, the decision guing tn Jackson ay 2 techn= cal knockout. Keeley weighed 187 3-' ¢ pounds and Jacksen weighed 197 3-4. On Saturday night, July 28, Buddy Jackson will again appear at thie‘elub, naving as his opponent Bill Tete of Ghicago ip the star twelve rowed bout. Joe Jeannette was e@s of the jodars., tended were: Charles W. Anderson George P. Moore with Danny Ed wards, Paddy Mullins, Archie Morga of the Chicago Defender and W.'E Clark of The Age. Alderman Harri did not attend the conference, but me the delegation in the outer rooms 0 the County Committee officer. He as. sured Mr. Moore that he was with him but because of a previous engagemen was unable to remain for the confer. ence. . Cpllector Anderson acted a3-spokes: man for the delegation and put the mat- ter squarely before Mr. Koenig. After addresses had been ‘made by Geogr P. Mnore and Paddy Mullins, Mr. Koe- aig assured the group that he was per: sonally against discrimination in any form and would use his influence to sce that such discriminatory practices were discontinued : Shortly after this conference the first mixed bout in four yeara was held between Danny Edwards and Trish Johnny Curtin at the Pioneer Club, and mixed bouts bave been continued since. -Former Alderman Harris may have had something to do with the Infting of the ban on mixed bouts in this state. but he certainly does ‘not deserve the major part of the credit for this chang- ed condition, To George P. Moore and Charles W. Anderson should be given more credit than to Mr. Harris. PRESENT WASHINGTON PAGEANT AT ARPTON 1 Hampton, Ve—A pageant adapted ‘ from Bocker T.

H. T. Y. 400-800 Interior Secretary For Oklahoma still carry and another's business, and still the woman's Christ-like love. The laws, when Jesus was on earth were very strict observances of the law at Moses. In fact, they gave so much attention to the observance of the laws of the law that they often lost sight of its importance. Jesus came and made it unnecessary for them to bother about memorizing so much of the law. To love God supremely and one's neighbor as one's self, according to Jesus teaching, is to keep every requirement of the law and the prophets. "Christ, therefore, has only one law and that law is law. His law consisting of only one law constitutes a rule of conduct that would make use of the law and all places of punishment. The would be occasion for complaint against the strong; the important against the弱; the poor against the rich; the brave against the disobedient; nor the black man against the white man. The Apostic Paul in the text, shows how the law of Christ, a panacea for all ill, may be obtained. "Always carry one another's burdens, and no obey the whole of Christ's law." "Obeying the command to "always carry one another's burdens" is the only war to build love, Christ's law, into our lives. We value things in proportion as they cost us. The same rule applies with reference to "one another." If mothers love children more than fathers does it is not because they have greater capacity for loving, but because the children cost them more pain, patience, anxiety and toil. A man never employs to love the family to wish them whole-hearted support. It is only why he does not that burden that he difference, edge somewhere else and despair becomes possible. Women's independence of man's support has more to do with the prevalence of divorce in this day than anything else. Opportunities for "carrying one another's burdens" are so abundant that no needs to look for them. Every day, everywhere we can find: 1. The burdened individual. The problem of adjusting one's self to his environment is fraught with many burdens. Sometimes they result in tragedy and sometimes in heroic living. Many a suicide would have been avowed if someone by kind word or dead had lifted the burden which bore so heavily upon the victim. Young women, women with sins committed while condemned death, young men burdened with the embarrassment men and financial loss or social disgrace men and women of all ages facing, resting with religious doubt, furnish us opportunities every day to help bear some perplexed and dejected persons' burden. 2. The burdened family. No house regardless of wealth or station, is free from the multitudinous burdens that afflict family life. It is generally great to struggle for existence and place in society, yet they may have problems of character that burden infinitely more. The poor, in addition to the daily grind, may also be burdened with character problems that you can help to lift. In social, moral or spiritual burden to lift, opportunities for service that regard await every one of us. 3. The burdened race. And we would have you know that the Negro is not the only burdened race. The Anglo-Saxon carrier greater burdens them than the Negro or anybody else. This due to his prominence. Leadership is always burdened with responsibilities. But the burden on the Anglo-Saxon heart and heart is not constructive leadership. It is the problem of recognizing and maintaining "white supremacy," and at the same time being "a big brother to all other races." Deep down in the heart of the average white man in the depiction to deal more kindly then does with other races, even the Negro. Because he fears that an absolutely square deal towards these problems will be mistaken for an assault on their quality with him; he maintains an attitude with him that, in his heart of confidence, he condemns. This of necessity gives the white man a burdened conscience. So I repeat, the Negro is not the only burdened race. Hard as this depiction of race prejudice may be, it is a burden on us by others and weighs much less than the burden an accustomed conscience puts on the oppressor. Let me deal with men and women of my race to add to the oppression others put on us the burden of an offended conscience. Whatever else may be our burden, let us not be guilty of having. Threats of hatred distort our minds, obstruct our spirits and destroy the image of God within us. Burdened by the unseefishy remo- sal of mine of the "Man of Galilee" that we should not only accept then, but count his sexual honor and high privilege to be like Him. *NEWS OF THE CHURCHES* St. James Presbyterian. A large and responsive audience assembled at St. James Presbyterian Church last Sunday to hear the special ternon of 'Wind Jammers in Glideon's Army'. Dr. Hyder took as his guest, Judges 7-4. The theme of the discourse was that life is a series of experiences and futures. The theme and criterion of wound work roots, in the final analysis, not so much upon numerical strength as in the quality of the units at work. Dr. Hyder developed and elaborated the thought that the world's work according to the yardstick of history is being done not by crowds, but by those whom God sits and separates from the world. He did this by working of thirty thousand. This large number, it was found after two searching tents, divided to three hundred who could impaler as a dog laps. Two new members joined the church. The funeral of Mrs. Nancy Robinson, wife of Elder E. A. Robinson of 1B West 11th Street was held from the church at the door of the burial service; funeral of P. Military Cemetery, Bengal. The service of 8 soldiers was of a highly spiritual order. The first discharged was taken from Calcutta 6. The subject was "King up honeymoon." My father took the subject with the consent that most failers in life are not so much from lack of infidelity, as from abuse in the heart of the quality of perseverance. The world is full of people who start. The world is willing and ready to give a living as well as heart to the man and woman who not only start but are enforced with the rare qualities M reprehension and perseverance. The Women's Missionary Society will picnic Thursday at Far Rushway leaving from 12th street at nine o'clock.

A large congregation attended the 10 o'clock services at Mother Zion Church, Sunday, July 22. A few minutes were devoted to securing plaques for the building fund. The sermon was greached by the pastor he Rev. Dr. J. W. Brown. His subject was "The Ministry of Courage." He took his text from I Samuel 30.6. "Courage the speaker announced in the dynamic force responsible for every noble accomplishment. When confronted with the necessity of plaining at stupendousness making the great need of success is courage, he the element that enables us to triumph over disappointment and to battle successfully against the dire necessity of want. Jehovah Himself, recognized the great value of courage when He admonished Joshua to be of good courage, and assured him that an adequate amount of courage would enable him to accomplish the work before him. The sermon was delivered in the fervor of earnestness, and the congregation was urged to have courage. Although the work of building the new church is a stupendous undertaking, a kind providence will crown your effort with a glorious success. At close of the service, the priors were received into the church. The Sunday-school convened at 2 o'clock. The vacation season is on and many teachers and students are away or planning to go.

This sermon, though short, will live in the hearts of all who attended services in the morning for the entire congregation seemed to have been embarked with religious fervor. He forward and united with the church and one infant was baptized. The evening service was well attended and the pastor, again presched. He commenced a series of special sermons for Sunday evenings. The first was "Ruinne Company" Proverbs 13: 20. He spoke especially to the young of Harlem and while the pastor is not given to sensational sermons this particular sermon was of the sensational nature and audience.

Great praise is due Dr. Robinson for his herculean efforts to enable the church to go over the top during the service. The managers are working untimely to round up the subscribers to the building fund for the new church and the splendid manner in which the members and friends are redeeming their pledges is gratifying.

The vicar said in part, that the sweet singer of Israel Died calls upon all things earth, sea and sky and skys the Lord. Only when we have opportunity to get out of the stronemily Life and crowded centres of city-dwellers, characteristic of this ragged age, do we fully appreciate he words of the Psalmist. Men rush here and there in the whirl and bustle of city life, hardly stopping long enough to thank God for the privilege of living—Men and women, too, are crowding God out. Men today ready do not have time to go to work and children. It can be true they imply the home, pay the bills, stop there, cat there sometimes, and call the place home—but is it such? Even in the seasons of vacation and vacation our hours are crowded with excitement in the pursuit of pleasure. His gift it is to be a man in which he was in the early morning and the hour of the day down when the heart of BROOKLYN CHURCHES grow many crops until they are used and all of them supplying food and water found on prairie the Lord.

BROOKLYN Golden Jubilee Ended The Golden Jubilee exercises of St. Jarenes Congregational Church closed in a blank of glory-Sunday evening, after a week's norable program. Although many were out of the city the attendance was large at every meeting, standing room frequently being at a premium, there were many notable visitors present from numerous parts of the country. The occasion marked by co-operation of the visiting dignitaries through their partners, choices and memb ers. Every demonstration in the city was represented. The utmost harmony prevailed. Resolutions were endorsed, one to President Harding, running on the Tuskegee situation; the other was cortering the northward migratory movement; it urged upon employees to give the col-lege labour from the South cordial assistance; the poor stood the obed- employee to make good in reliability and practicability. One of the attractive evenings was that of the music festival, Tray, P. Gorum of Springfield, Mass., was the star of the occasion. He also sang at both services on Sunday. He was accompanied on Friday evening by Miss Andrades Linday, who won new laurels herself by her artistic work. The Nancy Chandler choreo was under the direction of Mrs Jessica Taylor.

The effort on the part of government to enforce law and order so as to produce a perfect organism has been and always will be a failure; because mankind is only capable of handling the fruit of human activity in the objective world, while it is left for God the Father to give us through the work of the Holy Spirit the power to deal with motives and create good impulses. And this Holy Power working according to diva guidance destroys sins, the cursed root beneath, and in human society, with human beings have been seen free from sin it follows that they will be set free from death. For as the Apostle said, "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ." Rev. William H. Hogans, superintendent of the Sunday-school, opened the school, and reviewed the lesson. At the close of the lesson he spoke about the Sunday-school outing which will be Thursday.

His test was "And God gave unto him, Friend, how cannot Thein in hither not having a wedding garment? and he was speechless." The dinner was served during the day by the members of the Energetic Circle and $5.70 was turned over to the church. At the close of the exercises the circles of the church presented a jubilee offering of $1,000, with more to follow. One of the things that brought sadness during the celebration was the death of Dacon Wellington Smith, which occurred Saturday evening. The funeral took place from the church Tuesday afternoon in the presence of a large concourse of friends. Rer. H. H. Proctor will fill his public pastax of 11 men, and will will give the "The Soul of Man" Madam Booker, the well-known lecturer, will give an address at the evening hour especially to women, who will have general charge of the service. Newman Mem. Church The sermon on Sunday morning, July 21, at Newman Memorial M. E. Church, Herkimer street and Russell place, above "Saratoga avenue, was preached by a former pastor, the Rev. Dr. Thomas Woodley, now district superintendent over the Wilmington district, Delaware Conference. He used as a text, *coneis* 37:19,20, subject, "The Dreamer Cometh." Dr. Woodley was given a cordial welcome by his old parishioners, only a few of whom are left in the present-day congregations. The music by the choir included the anthem "O hymn amiable are thy dwell" (J. E. Wesley and a soprano solo, "I heard the Voice of Jesus Say" (Rathbun), by Mrs. Freda Smalley Brooks. In the afternoon, a special service in the interest of the October anniversary rally was held by the regiment commanded by Local Preacher John Williams, when a sermon was preached by the Rev. M. S. Empagge of John Wesley M. E. Church, but a rainstorm just at service time interfered somewhat with the attendance. At night, the attendance was affected by the extremely warm weather.

Church The most remarkable service of the season was the morning service at Pleet Street Church on Sunday morning. Dr. Brown's theme, "Gifts and Graces", was one among the very high peaks in his ministral career during three years at this church. The audience was surprisingly large on so warm a Sunday. Many visitors of prominence were among the worshippers, Dr. J. E. K. Argrey, formerly one of the professors at Livingstone College, and now with the Phletpe Stokes' Commission made a brief conclusion of the Mission Others of Elizabeth City, N. C.; Aurelia A. Williams, instructor of French at Livingstone College and Cleopatra O. Andrews instructors in Household and applied arts at Livingstone. A visitor at the Sunday-school session was F. G. Mitchell of Rye, N. Y., district, superintendent of Sunday-schools in the Long Island district. The Baby Contest, held last Friday evening, was one of the most successful contests ever held. Seven hundred and eighty dollars was reported that evening with approximately twenty more to report. Substantial prizes were awarded all the contestants. The year begins with enlarged activity, required for a larger year of good in service to the community. The migration of a large number of people to the city is easily discernible in all the services, especially in their uniting with the church forces, increasing the work in the auxiliaries and community circles. The early organizing with a more far-reaching program to fit the conditions as they arise can be attributed to the forward look of Dr. Brown and gives to among the first ranks of church workers. The Christian Endeavor Society will close their Sunday services for the rest of the summer on Sunday, July 29.
