Wife Stood Shock Bravely. Great as was the shock to all who dwell under the American flag and to peoples in many lands, for Mr. Harding by virtue of his office his kindly and his lovable personality, had become a world figure, the great shock came for his wife, reading by his side, but she did not callapse. "She was shocked, of course, and at first unable to realize that she had lost the husband who had made up all the interest in her life for so many proud and happy years," said Gen. Sawyer later. "But there was no collapse, no hysteria. Just a brave rally to face her sorrows and the duties devolving upon her at this hour." Mrs. Harding Bears Up Well Mrs. Harding was standing the shock every well today, but whether she could stand up under the grief that bore down upon her as the sad journey back to Washington is made was another question.

Statement by President Coolidge Plymouth, Vt., August 3.—President Coolidge issued the following statement: Reports have reached me, which I fear are correct, that President Harding is gone. The world has lost a great and good man. I mourn his loss. He was my chief and my friend. It will be my purpose to carry out the policies which he has begun for the service of the American people and for meeting their responsibilities wherever they may arise. For this purpose I shall seek the cooperation of all those who have been associated with the President during his term of office. Those who have given their efforts to assist him I wish to remain in office that they may assist me. I have faith that God will direct the destinies of our nation. It is my intention to remain here until I can secure the correct form for the oath of office, which will be administered to me by my father, who is a notary public, if that will meet the necessary requirement. I expect to leave for Washington during the day. WORLD WAR VETS TO HAVE GEN. COURAUD AS GUEST OF HONOR French Warrior Commanded Division Which Included Old 15th N. Y. Under Hayward. Colored veterans of the recent World War who saw service in France in the Old 15th New York, the 369th A. E. F., will have an opportunity to show their loyal appreciation to the famous French General Gouraud under whose command they were given opportunity to win the undying fame, to have the nick name, "Hell Fighters," given them, and to achieve the imperishable honor of having been the first body of American troops to reach the hanks of the German Rhine, for the one-armed French hero is to be their special guest on Monday afternoon, August 13, at 3 o'clock, at the 107th Regiment Armory, 66th street, Lexington and Park avenues. Col. Arthur Little, commanding the 369th Regiment, New York National Guard, has received an acceptance from Gen. Gouraud to be present at that time, and the colonel is receiving hearty cooperation from all classes of the citizenry who are anxious to join in the tribute to the foreign soldier. The full regiment, 369th Infantry, New York National Guard, under command of Col. Arthur Little, with the 369th regimental band under Lieutenant F. Eugene Mickel, director, will assemble at the regiment armory, 158th street and Seventh avenue, and proceed thence to the 107th Regiment armory. The Old 15th New York was not given a regular assignment, according to reports, but was kept on the move, running arou. French territory, doing odd jobs in various localities, until mastered under Gen. Gouraud's command who was also in command of the Rainbow Division, whose guest he is while in this country. Under Gen. Gouraud, the 15th commanded at that time by Col. William Hayward, was given continuous active assignment, and it was through this assignment that the New York Negro soldiers were the first 69th the entire American army to reach the jungle of the German Rhine, which marks the dividing line between French and German territory. Gen. Gouraud came to the United States by invitation of the Rainbow Division to attend the outfit's reunion, which was held at Indianapolis last month. He expressed a strong-desire to meet particularly the survivors of the 30th A. E. F., as he could give expression to his appreciation of the Negro troops. Tickets for the reception can be secured at the 30th headquarters 130th street, near Lenox avenue, and at various churches. But all who attend will be admitted, whether they have tickets or not, up to the capacity of the 102th Armory. Col. Little is urging all colored citizens who possibly can to attend and hopes the armory will be filled to utmost capacity that the doughty and distinguished warrior may be given an ovation equal to any he has received during his stay in America. BLACK HERMAN RUCKER "PROFESSOR MAGIC" HELD ON TWO CHARGES Black Herman Rucker, 40 years old of 442 St. Nicholas avenue, a clairvoyant styling himself as a "professor of magic" was arrested Sunday, August 6, on complaint of his sister, Georgia Sparks, of the same address, on two charges: felonious, assault by striking her on the head with a loaded revolver, and with having a loaded .38-calibre revolver in his possession without a permit. The assault charges grew out of an argument over a ring which Sparks had in her possession. When his sister refused to give up the ring, to which both claimed ownership, he struck her with the revolver. The case came up Monday, August 6, in the Heights Court and the defendant was held for examination on August 13. CALVIN GOODJIGE at MIB DEBK. Presidential Oath Given Coolidge By His Father, Notary Public, In Home Text of Oath Telephoned to Vermont by Vice-President's Secretary from Washington—Sworn in at 2.47 A. M. Friday, and Left for Capital at 7.30. Calvin Garfield took the oath as President of the United States at Plymouth, Vt., at 2.47 a.m. Friday, August 3. The new President was sworn in by his father, who is a notary public, and at whose home he was visiting. The text of the pledge as prescribed by the Constitution was telephoned to him by the White House. --- Word of the simple ceremony was telephoned here to Mr. Coolidge's secretary, Edw. T. Clark, who after several hours of unsuccessful, effort had established wire connection with Plymouth and had notified his chief of the death of President Harding. . . Coolidge to Washington. Plymouth, Vt.—President Coolidge left about 7.30 a.m. Friday by automobile for Rutland to catch the 9.35 train for New York, due in that city at 5 p.m., Eastern Standard time. He was accompanied by Mrs. Coolidge and Congressman Porter H. Dale. News of President Harding's death came as a complete surprise to the Coolidges, who had retired shortly after 10 o'clock, as had been their custom during the three weeks they had spent here, thinking the President was well on the road to recovery. Got News in Bed The elder Coolidge received the messenger who, brought Secretary Christian's telegram, hurried upstairs with it and read it to Mr. Coolidge in bed. The new President rose immediately, attiring himself in a black suit to meet the reporters he knew were coming. The honking horns of automobiles arriving with the news gatherers aroused most of the population of Prymouth Notch and some of these clustered on the porch of the Coolidge home. The elder Coolidge, plainly distressed at news of President Harding's death, but as plainly proud of his son, went out and apprised them of what had happened. He declined to talk to the newspapermen, referring them to his son.

Many of the ills Harlem is suffering from as a community can be traced to the evil of high rents and overcrowding, which are more acute in this section than anywhere else in the city. Colored people in this section, many of them who do not earn more than $25 per week, pay from one-half to two-thirds of their monthly income in rent. Though most of the apartments in this section are twenty years old and more, the average rental charge is at the rate of $10 per room, and the better apartments are charging as high as $15 per room. ministered the oath to his son by virtue of his office of notary public, is a retired farmer.

Though most of the apart years old and more, the average per room, and the better apartme per room. One of the results of the struggle of some of the families to pay such high rents is that every member of the family who is able to work has to do so, leaving the home uncared for, and the younger children to care for themselves during the day. After working for some time and finding themselves unable to earn anything more than just living expenses, they become discouraged and will take a chance on the races, the policy slips or anything that offers one chance in a hundred for them to win extra money. Resort to "Rent Parties" Others with small families and large apartments, sublet all of their available space as furnished rooms and themselves become profiters, sometimes making more from their furnished rooms than they pay in rent. Still others who find difficulty in meeting their monthly rent hill, give "rent parties" where liquor is often sold and dancing in its worst form indulged in. Anyone with the fee of admission is admitted to these parties and by selling refreshments the rent is License Commissioner Is Deaf to Protests Against Licensing Harlem Cabaret Citizens of Community Begged That Resort in Location Which, Under Different Name, Gained Unsavory Reputation, Be Not Permitted to Keep Doors Open.

The proprietor of this new resort in Connie Immerman, intimately connected, it is alleged, with the group of men who are conducting delicatessen and cigar stores on Lenox avenue in which is also sold any kind of "hooch" poison the thirsty clientele may ask for. In fact, according to information received by The Age, it is said that Connie Immerman is a brother to the Hyman and Louise whose names adorn the fronts of probably a half-score or more of booth-selling joints on Lenox avenue which are camouflaged by presenting the outward appearance of being legitimate cigar stores or delicatessen. Ignore Police Protest. The better element of Harlem citizenry, supported by the Police Inspector and Police Captain in this district, made protest against the operating of this locale, but their protest was ignored and permission granted to Immorman for conducting a cabaret and dancing places for the Harlem public. Experience with similar reports, as conducted in the past, causes those who are interested in preserving Harlem's good name to take a pessimistic view of the probable character of any business conducted by slick and unconscious caters to recreation needs through such a feature as Connie's Inn. The neighborhood of the Lafayette Theatre is rapidly losing its tone of decency, in the complaint registered by many of them who live in that region for a long time. There is an indulgent encroachment of the opulent element. This, for some time, has combined itself to the 132nd street side, where pool rooms, garages, cafes, and club rooms furnish assembling places for hangers-on of this type. More Places Opened. However, the area of this group has been extended. First, a cafe was opened on the east side of Seventh avenue, just south of 131st street, where booze is openly sold over the counter to men and women alike.

Two cases where rents have been increased 100 per cent, recently came to the attention of this paper. In one case on 145th street, colored tenants moved into a five room apartment paying $80 per month although the former white tenants only paid $40 per month. There are still many white families in this house with apartments the same size and just as good who do not pay more than $40. The other case is that of a private house on 130th street where the whites had been paying $70 per month, but the colored occupants are now paying $175.

One of the objective practicals of the man who run this alcohole—it is owned by Italians, but colored men are employed to serve the people—is their method of getting rid of customers who have inhabited "not wisely but too well" with a consequent depletion of their pocketbooks and loss of control of their limbs. These individuals are unconsequently escorted out of the alcohole and dumped without consideration in the hallway of the apartment house entrance which is next door, and there left to inconvenience, inconvenience and sometimes become a danger to the tenants of the building, including women and children. Locke Like Old Time Bac. At the present time the store on corner of 151st street and Seventh avenue, formerly occupied as a barber shop, is being remodeled and arranged for the opening of what to all appearances is going to be a regular, old-fashioned bar room, even though it is inaugurating under the false face of a soft drink establishment. Ramon has circulated evidence the report that a drug store operating in the same building is hit a blind for the dispensing of alcoholic potions as a beverage. One has not to be known to the proprietor or his associates, it is alleged to be able to store as much illicit liquor as is desired, or as can be paid for. A right that has ignored familiar to the passerby on Seventh avenue, near 132nd street within the last few weeks is that of police officers in uniforms on duty in places which have been raided for violations of the law. These infractions have taken different forms, usually with gambling as the basis. But in nearly every place, either a private house or club, where gambling is conducted, the illegal sale of illicit booch is a prime factor of profit to the business. Not in Ring-Can't Operate. There is no let up in the increase of these hooch ticks in Harlem. The white men who furnish the capital are evidently enjoying an unusual measure of protection, for they operate brazenly and without regard for appearances. On the other hand, men not in the ring who attempt to corral some of the tremendous profit accruing from bootlegging practices are man, the subject of an espionage that effectually stops their activity. One man, a Je w, with a colored employee, who attempted to operate next door to one of Loui's delicatessen hooch joints o nLenox avenue, between 132nd and 133rd streets, was raided and arrested some three or four times within less than two weeks. Even while the raids were in progress, Loui's place was openly selling hooch to crowds that thronged his place. This man, becoming discouraged, finally changed his location, moving to a point further up on Lenox avenue, near 135th street. But here he was in even worse case. Perhaps he didn't know that he was near the main headquarters of the Loui-Hyman combination, all of whom are said to be brothers, and who are alleged to congregate in the delicatessen near 135th street to while away their idle moments, sometimes with "crips" at $1,000 a throw. Whatever may be the case, the outsider, his new place scarcely opened, was again made the object of official solicitude. And this time the emissaries of the law made a good job of it. They not only arrested the Hebrew proprietor and Negro helper, but they proceeded to smash up the fixtures in the place so that it could not easily be reopened. And so the hooch situation in Harlem is rapidly growing worse and worse or better and better, according as one has the good of the community at heart or is willing to see the race demoralized and degraded to the profit of conscienceless and avaricious rum sellers of other races.

Pennsylvania Elks Form State Grand Lodge With Thirty-Eight Lodges In Harrisburg, Pa.—Thirty-eight of the forty lodges of Elks in this state met in the auditorium of Unity Lodge, No. 71, recently and formed a state grand lodge with the following officers elected for the ensuing year: Edward Henry, president; J. E. Taylor of Harrisburg, vice-president; A. Gans, Pittsburgh, treasurer, and G. E. Bell, Harrisburg, secretary. The convention unanimously agreed that the Keystone State delegates to the national convention in Chicago work to have the grand lodge meet in Pittsburgh in 1924. The convention also recommended by resolution that the Daughter Elks of Pennsylvania form a state-organization and hold a similar convention. Among the visitors present from outside the state were J.

He is the third native of Vermont to have become Vice-President and it is a coincidence that Chester A. Arthur, one of his distinguished predecessors, became President upon the death of President Garfield. The third was Levi P. Morton, Vice-President with President Harrison. Calvin Coolidge entered political life in 1899, when he was twenty-seven years old. Following his graduation from Amherst, he studied law in the office of Hammond & Feld in that city and was admitted to the bar in twenty months after he began to prepare. His first election to a political office as as a member of the city council of North Hampton, Mass., which was his home city when he was chosen Vice-President of the United States in 1920. In 1907 and 1901, he was city solicitor of Northampton. He served in the lower house of the state Legislature in 1907 and 1908 and then was elected Mayor of Northampton, serving two years. Immediately following this he was sent to the state eSnate. He serveded conspicuously there, gaining a statewide reputation. During the last two years in the Senate he presided over its deliberations. In the years 1916-18 he sreeed as Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts. His election as Governor in November, 1918, and his re-election a year later were natural sequences in his political career. Broke Boston Police Strike Although it is a distinction to serve as Governor of Massachusetts for two terms, it is not certain that even the friendship of so influential a person as former Senator W. Murray Crane would have been sufficient to compel national recognition of Mr. Coolidge's qualities had not the Boston police strike occurred in 1919, the last of his first term as Governor. On the night of September 9, at the height of the state campaign, about three-fourths of the members of the Boston police force deserted their posts. The night was one of the most hideous ever experienced in Boston. Lawlessness, hoodlums, thievery and every form of crime ran riot. There was little or no restraint. The few loyal members of the department who remained at their posts were powerless to restore even a combination of order. Edwin U. Curtis was Police Commissioner, and he had forbidden the affiliation of the policemen's union with the American Federation of Labor, and he was supported by Mayor Peters, a emocrat, who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Governor in the crisis. The issue was never before more definitely drawn between law and order on one side and lawlessness on the other. Perhaps Governor Coolidge could not have won the battle without the aid of Curtis and Peters. It is certain that the city official would have been unable to handle the situation without his support. Won New England's Support The issue was one which promised to make or break the political fortunes of Governor Coolidge. He was waived or some friends that opposition to the politician's union would end in his defeat in the approaching election. His reply was characteristically hit and to the point. He said: "It doesn't matter whether I am Governor of Massachusetts again or not." That is a key not to his character. He is quoted as having said upon an earlier occasion: "You now politics does not differ especially from anything else. In poli- THE PHOTOGRAPHS printed below show the start of President Harding's body from San Francisco last Friday evening, with naval officers paying their tribute as the colonel left the place of his death, and scenes as the funeral train passed through Chicago. The negatives were transported to New York via train, airplane and motor car. BEARING PRESIDENT HARDING'S BODY FROM PALACE HOTEL, San Francisco. tics nothing is worth having unless you can have it in the right way." The police strike became a stepping stone in his career. It naturally followed that with the opening of the national campaign in 1920 the Republicans of Massachusetts and of the other New England states looked upon Governor Coolidge as = "favorite son." Didn't Seek Vice-Presidency He discouraged the effort to nominate him for the Presidency. As early as January, 1920, he issued a public statement refusing to enter any contest for delegates. His nomination and election as Vice-President were honors that came to him and were gratefully received, but had not been definitely sought after. Brewity and directness are two characteristics of his nature. It is recalled that the President of the Massachusetts Senate in the selections of 1912'13 unexpectedly failed of re-election and Senator Coolidge became a candidate for the vancy. So vigorously did he campaign that within a few days he had sufficient pledges to assure himself of the place as priding officer and he filled this office with marked ability. His acceptance speech of forty-two words on re-election as President of the Senate has become a classic in Massachusetts. In this and in the speech of the preceding year he uttered the two phrases that best indicate his creed, namely, "Do the day's work" and "be brief." PUT BOTH RACES ON BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF VETS' HOSPITAL? (Special Correspondence) Washington—Director Hines of the Veterans' Bureau, announced 'Saturday, August 4, after conference with the committee representing white citizens of Tuskegee. Ala., that he had proposed a plan for control of the Tuskegee Hospital for Negroes which he believed will satisfy all parties. An amicable solution of the problem is expected within the next few days, Gen Hines said. The committee, indicated, according to the Director, that it was favorably disposed to the plan but wished to take it back to Tuskegee to discuss it there with white and Negro citizens The plan is believed to provide a control of the hospital by a board of trustees, the maojrity of whom will be white. Man Drops Dead In Times' Square On Reading Extra The shock of the announcement of the President's death is believed to have caused the death from heart failure of an unidentified man about fifty years old on the Interborough subway station at Times Square early Friday. The man was just glancing over the headlines of a newspaper extra announcing the passing of the nation's chief executive when he became ill, and walked to the stairway leading from the station into Forty-first street. He sat down and then collapsed, falling over on his side. Patrolman Miller summoned Dr. Drake, of New York Hospital. The man was pronounced dead on his arrival. The body was taken to the station house. THE NEW YORK AGE Happened at "Is Statement the Five Physicians from Acute Illness Was in Process art and Arteries Were Unable —Sister Died Same Way.

It might have occurred at any time. One of his sisters died suddenly in the same manner. (Signed) "C. E. SAWYER, M. D." The physicians' statement follows: "Last spring following a long period of overwork and great strain, President Harding was conned to his life with an attack of influenza which was followed by a few nocturnal attacks of labored breathing. His recovery was slow and he had not fully regained his normal strength and health when he started out on the trip to Alaska. He had also had some attacks of abdominal pain and indigestion, and at times he had some pain associated with a feeling of oppression in the chest. For some years his systolic blood pressure had ranged around 180 and their evidence of some arterial solrosis. "Except for fatigue and the fact that his heart and blood vessels were some years older than the rest of his body, he was in reasonably good health." "On the return trip from Alaska he had an acute gastrointestinal attack, associated with abdominal pain, and fever. In spite of his illness, he insisted on putting through his program of speaking in Vancouver and Seattle. He had considerable difficulty in completing his addresses in Seattle because of weakness and pain. Because of this he was persuaded to come directly to San Francisco and arrived at the Palace Hotel Sunday morning, July 28. He dressed and waked to the automobile, from the train. "Sunday evening a consultation was called because his temperature had risen to 102 and his pulse and respirations were about normally rapid.

"A central broncho-pneumonia soon developed on the left side. It was accompanied by. short. circulatory collapses with cold sweats and an irregular pulse; most disturbing of all was the rapid and irregular breathingargentive of anterio-sclerosis of the brain vessels in the region of the respiratory center."

C.-The funeral services, over the remains of the late Swann M. Kendrick, a native of Mississippi, were held Sunday afternoon, August 5, at the Plymouth Congregational Church, Rev. James C. Olden, pastor. The services, beautiful in their simplicity were marked by a touching sincerity in the genuinely fine tribute paid to the memory of the deceased. The pastor conducted the general service aided by the John F. Cook Lodge of Masons of which the deceased was a member. After singing by the choir and a brief recital of the career of the deceased by the pastor, Shelby J. Davidson, secretary of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., was asked to speak of Mr. Hendrick's work for that association. Secretary Davidson paid a fine tribute to the worth of the deceased, characterizing it as one of the greatest value, stating that the latter came into the secretarial position finding no landmarks or guides by which to direct his activities, but that through his own capable initiative, aided by his unselfish devotion to the cause of his race, he made the first long stride towards, achieving for the association the strong position it now holds in the Capitol of the Nation. Prof. Charles Wesley, of Howard University, a classmate of the deceased in their college days at Fisk University, spoke particularly of the fine traits of mind and character which distinguished the deceased among the students, dwelling with emphasis upon the quiet, unobtrusive, yet thoughtful and loyal life he had led, taking first rank among the rest in scholarly ability as well as in conscientious Christianity. "Deep River" was rendered beautifully as a solo by Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs accompanied on the organ by her husband, Professor Roy W. Tibbs, a collegiate and personal friend of the deceased. The pastor also an alumnus of Fisk, delivered a touching eulogy on the life and character of the deceased, and made an earnest appeal to the young people of the race to emulate the worthy example of that life. Mr. Kendrick was born in Mississippi in 188C, educated at, Fisk University spent twelve years in the departmental civil service here in Washington, rising to be the chief of a division in while all the other clerks were white. The deceased left this position when the exacting duties made serious inroads on his health, to take an agricultural post in New Jersey, hoping the outdoor life might improve his health. He afterward went to serve on the faculty at Downingtown Industrial School. His health finally gave way completely. It may be truly said of him: "His life was gentle and the elements Were so combined in him Trenton. N. J. Washington, D.

STAGE & ATHLETICS MILLER & LYLE TO OPEN IN NEW SHOW To Appear Under Managem ent of George White of "Scandals" Fame in "Bronze Edition." BY BOB SLATER Flournoy Miller and Aubrey Lyle, the two men who contributed largely to the unparalleled record achieved by the "Shuffle Along" aggregation in its unprecedented run. Broadway, New York City, followed by successful and enduring season in Boston, Chicago and on the road, are being featured in a new production for the 1923-1924 season by George White of the "George White Scandals" fame. The "Shuffle Along," Inc., claiming that Miller & Lyle were still under contract and not in position to form new connections, sued for an injunction in the New York Supreme Court before; Justice Burr, asking a restraining order to prevent them from working for George White. The case was heard last week and information is to the effect that the injunction was not granted. Miller & Lyle were said to be under contract to George Cort who formed "Shuffle Along," Inc. for the run of the show, and it was argued that "Shuffle Along" will be produced the coming season and that the run is still on. Nathan April, attorney for the company, showed that the play has already taken in at the box office $1,000,000. Miller & Lyle started in at $100 a week salaries, which were largely increased, and that their shares of profits on stock owned by their wives totalled $1,000. The claim was that Miller & Lyle were engaged because their services are "unique, special and extraordinary," but the artists disclaim this honor, declaring in court that they are only ordinary actors, easily replaced. I attended a rehearsal of the new show, which is scheduled to open August 20. I heard some of the best singing since the days of Williams & Walker. The dance section is headed by such well known artists as Tommy Woods, Clarence Robinson, Arthur Bryson, George Stamper, with an army of the best chorus workers in the profession. The new play will probably be called "George White's Bronze Scandals of 1923." Sissie & Blake, former collaborators with Miller & Lyle in "Shuffle Along," are also busy rehearsing for the continued presentation of the original production, which will be greatly enlarged and improved, it is reported.

ATHLETICS 30 ACRES DONATED BY GOOD SNEPHERDS FOR GIRLS' RESCUE HOME Order Is in Prosperous Condition, Under Leadership of G. W. Chandler, President. Selma, Ala.—The United Order of Good Shepherds, G. W. Chandler, president, with headquarters in Montgomery, at their eighteenth annual meeting just closed at Shepherdsville, 18 miles south of Selma, passed a resolution offering to donate thirty acres of their farm of 3,100 acres, to be used as a rescue home for delinquent Negro girls. The offer was made with the privilege of buying for the same purpose, if needed, one hundred additional acres, at $30 per acre. The offer was made in response to an inquiry by Mrs. Bush of the Child's Welfare Department, and in pursuance of a resolution passed by the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs at the last annual meeting held in Mobile, selecting Shepherdsville as a suitable site for the home. The resolution by the Good Shepherds offered in addition, a right of way to the proposed home from the Selma and Minter-public road. The plantation of thirty-one hundred acres of improved and woodland was purchased several years ago by the United Order of Good Shepherds through the Mabry Securitiza Company, Selma. It was brought out in the annual meeting that all payments on borrowed money on the plantation have been kept up and that the Order holds an option on eleven hundred acres of land joining the plantation which when negotiations are completed, will give the Good Shepherds a holding of more than forty-two hundred acres of some of the best land in the Black Belt. Attending the meeting were 133 delegates from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, West Virginia, Mississippi, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, representing 225 local units with a membership of several thousand in the States mentioned. The feature of the meeting was the annual address of President G. W. Chandler, founder of the Order, which brought out the information that 700 acres of the farm are under cultivation by fifty-one families, producing cotton, corn, peas, potatoes, peanuts and molasses, operating a sawmill, a large poultry farm of throughbreds, besides truck farms producing a variety of vegetables and fruit. Two church edifices and a two-story school house are located near Shepherdsville, the center of the community. Connected with the order are such well-known colored men as G. W. Chandler, founder and president; Rev. E. W. Cooke, manager of the Farm and Good Shepherd's Home; Rev. C. J. Davis, Montgomery, vice-president; Rev. A. J. Stokes Montgomery; Dr. George W.

ORK AGE TELEPHONE AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE Viewing colored shows week after week after week over a period of several months or years, one is impressed with the similarity in theme and treatment of them all; especially that singing and dancing make up the great bulk of work for the colored thespian; that all colored comedians are of the lazy, shiftless and roguish type; and that few of the colored performers study to improve their art and go on doing the same thing year in and year out. All this is by way of introduction of a few comments on the "Shiek of Harlem", now playing at the Lafayette Theatre. Irvin Miller's new show is a revue with a large and well dressed chorus of young girls and some good singing and dancing numbers. It has a thin plot revolving around a popular young man in the cabaret life of Harlem, but the treatment is the same as in all colored shows, that is singing and dancing taking up the bulk of the Guard Your Health Be Sure to Use SANYKIT The Presbyterian Presbyterian PREVENTIVE FOR MEN Assistance and Preservative The Presbyterian Presbyterian Assistance and Preservative The Popular Remedy for Catarrh of the Bladder Easy and Safe to Take Aids Drink for Santal Mildy Capsules 666 In the most remedy remedy we know for Constipation, Billiousness, Colds, Headaches and Malarial Fever. 6-9-201 The Blue Grass Torchlight, published at Danville, Ky., contend: that when we educate our young people we must provide a place for them to use that education. It added: We see persons who willingly spend hundreds of dollars in sending their children to school but will not spend a dollar to provide for them a means of livelihood after they have finished school. If a hundred men would put one hundred dollars each in a factory to make work shirts, house dresses, aprons and overalls, it would give employment to several girls and young men. Another hundred could put a similar amount in a big store and employ a dozen people as clerks, porters and delivery boys. Suppose some of our public spirited men and women start such a movement. Let's make a place for our young people. That is a practical suggestion that derives a trial. One of the chief aims in starting business enterprises among the race is to provide employment for the young people. A. Payne, State Normal, Montgomery; Rev; L. W.

National Association of Teachers Holds Session At Tuskegee Institute Tuskegee, Ala.—One of the most successful conventions of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, closed here on July 27 after Mary M. McLeod Beghume, principal of Daytona Institute, Daytona, Fla. had been elected president to succeed Dr. John A. Gregg of Wilberforce University, and Clinton J. Holloway, director of the Extension Department of Tuskegee Institute, had been elected executive secretary. "Vitalizing Education" was the conference theme of the discussions of the three days' session. Mrs. Bethune, vice-president of the association, delivered the response to the welcome address by Warren Logan, vice-president and treasurer of Tuskegee Institute. In his annual address, Dr. John A. Gregg reviewed the progress of Negro education and suggested the slogan, "No illiteracy by 1900" be adopted by the association and urged the members to put forth every effort to attain this goal. Other interesting addresses on phases of education were delivered by Prof. William H. Holloway of Talladega College; Dr. John Hope, president of Moseh College, Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. J. S. Clark, president of Southern University, Baton Rouge, La.; Dr. George E. Haynes, New York City, and William W. Saunders, supervisor of Negro schools of West Virginia. R. S. Grosley, the newly elected president of the State College of Dover, Del., executive secretary of the association, stated that this meeting was, one of the most largely attended of any in the history of the association as more than 600 delegates, teachers and visitors were present. Jackson Davis, general field agent for the General Education Board, New York City, outlined the work of the Board and referred to the help given Negro institutions in the past and the Board's future program in this direction. S. L. Smith, field agent for the Rosenwald Fund, described the rapid spread of Rosenwald schools among Negroes "Over $7,000,000 have been spent in the time and a minimum given over to the story itself. Perhaps this was necessary in this particular show, but it seems that a straight comedy might be written about life in Harlem without the dancing and so much singing. Not that this does not make good entertainment, but because colored audiences have seen so much of it that it has become "old stuff" to them. Quintain Miller takes the part of "Shiek" and gives a good performance Hattie, King Reavis, Paul Bass, Walter Richardson and Edith Spencer, late of Shuffle Along, king the musical numbers, and Irwin Miller, Billy Mills and Will A. Cooke have the comedy parts. Irwin Miller nad Ida Anderson also give an exhibition waltz, which is one of the features of the show. The other outstanding dance number is the original "Charleston" by the chorus and a yellow not named on the program called "Snow". The "Shick of Harlem" will remain for the week of August 13, with matinees Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and the usual midnight show.

THE material contrast between the deprived with which he (Baker T. Washington) began and the present great, more affluent commercial plant is sufficiently striking to be enough for one man to be both ill and well. It is also encouraging as this is, it is but an important measure of Dr. Washington's investment. The education and annual turming out of two or three hundred poor men, the furnishing for life useful to them, and their families is of course a most useful and helpful work but that was only one part of what he did and sought to do. But that was only a part of what he did and sought to do. Telegraphs the light of the humour, but living brains which move the mind to real advance for his race, or for any race—WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, Chief Justice United States Supreme Court. PAGE FIVE Friday, erection of these buildings in all parts of the South and of this amount fully $2,000,000 was contributed by the colored people themselves." was the encouraging declaration. Dr. John W. Davis, president of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, Institute, W. Va. spoke on the importance of additional appropriations for educational purposes and of the need of raising the salaries of teachers. Jesse O. Thomas of the National Urban League, reviewed the work of his organization in its effort to improve living conditions among Negroes throughout the country. Among other present at the convention were President W. J. Hale of the State Normal School at Nashville, Tenn.; R. S. Hudson, principal of Selma High School and secretary of the Baptist Convention; W. A. Robinson, supervisor of teachers' training in the high schools of North Carolina; N. B. Young, president of Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo.; John C. Wright, president of Edward Waters College, Jacksonville, Fla.; W. T. B. Williams, field agent for the Jeans and Slater Fund; Principal Cook of the Lincoln High School, and others. About three hundred teachers who attended summer school at Tuskegee Institute, which closed on July 20, remained over for the meeting of the association. HIGH RENTS AND OVERCROWDING RESPONSIBLE FOR MANY OF THE HLLS SUFFERED BY HARLEMITES talist has been willing build apartments for colored tenants although there are a number of vacant lots in this section. The reason set forth by most of them for not building apartments in this neighborhood is that building materials and skilled labor is so high they cannot afford to build cheap apartments, is renting for less than $100 per month. Colored real estate brokers and builders also seem to think that the risk is too great to put their money in new apartments. It seems that the only other remedy for the situation is the migration of some of the people from this section to The Bronx, to Long Island, and to other sections of the city. However, much could be accomplished toward helping the tenants if some of the real estate men and owners would be contented with reasonable profit instead of charging all they can get. The tenants themselves could get redress when their rent is increased if they used the courts more.

Local fans were filled with joy at Protectory Oval on Sunday, August 5, when the Lincoln Giants took both games of a double header from the Hilldale team of Philadelphia. The first game was won in the eighth inning when the Lincolns came from behind and scored four runs, making the score 7-4. The second game lasted twelve innings and was finally won by the Lincolns, 8-7, when Thomas' single scored the winning run. New York (the program indicated Detroit) sang the "Bell Song" ifbm "Lakme" (Où va la jeune Hindoue) by Delibes; R. Nathaniel Dett of Hampton Institute, played the "Song of the Shrine" and "Dance of Desire" from his "Enchantment Suite"; and Mrs. Lucretia Knox-Mitchell of Indianapolis, soprano, sang four songs by Woodman, Saar, Korsakoff and Gilberte, with Lillian. LeMon playing the accompaniment. Another program was rendered on Friday afternoon at St. Mark M. E. Church, the participants being representatives of locals in all sections of the country, as far as they were represented. In The Realm of Music By Lucien H. White Negro Musicians Meet In Four-Day Annual Convention Clarence Cameron White Is Reelected President—Several Splendid Recitals Mark the Yearly Assembling—New York Local Did Not Send Ita Representative. The fifth annual convention of the National Association of Negro Musicians has come and gone. It was held July 24 to 27 in the Metropolitan Community Center, 3118-3122 Giles avenue, Chicago, the same being the religious institution familiarly known as the People's Church of which the Rev. Dr. W. D. Cook is pastor. Lave Brown was on the mound for the Lincoln in the first game and was opposed by Lee, who lasted until the eighth inning. Although fighting an uphill battle until the eighth, the Lincoln played a much better brand of ball than usual and showed their fighting spirit by changing the batting order, substituting Joe Williams as a pinch hitter in the eighth. Three men were on base and Williams came up and scored all three with a single to deep right field. Winters was rushed in to finish the game for Lee, but was too late to turn the side. That is, the business sessions were held at the Community Center, but an elaborate program which was sent me by the thoughtful President, Clarence Cameron White, shows that a number of interesting musical programs were rendered in various other auditoriums, the talent participating being both local and from among the visitors. Captain John Henry Lloyd was unable to play, due to injuries received last week, but did all he could coaching from the sidelines. The favorite auditorium appeared to be the Wendell Phillips High School, as two recitals were given there, with the Grace Presbyterian and St. Mark M. E. Churches representing the facilities afforded by the religious institutions. But it was to the Aryan Grotto Temple that the most important of the programs was taken, this being the recital staged by some of the artists who are given a place in the front rank of musical achievement. Then there was, on the social side, a reception given the visitors and delegates at the National University of Music, 3672 Michigan avenue. The second contest was filled with all the thrills of baseball, being featured by sensational catches by Benny Wilson, right fielder for the Lincoln Giants, and George Johnson, left fielder for the Hilldale team; home runs by George Johnson and Mackey, and excellent pitching in the last part of the game. Each side pitched the pitchers, Ross, Hampton and Cockrell and Hildale, and Holland, Streeter and Willingham, working for the Lincoln. Joe Williams, Streeeter in the eighth-inning and allowed only two hits during the last four innings. The program for the business sessions covered a wide range of musical interest, but diligent endeavor has not availed to secure information as to just how far the program was carried out. "It is hardly probable that all the subjects embraced in the four days' schedule, as contained in the advance program, were considered, for it is a practical certainty that some of the people given place in the deliberations were not present in person. About eight thousand fans witnessed the games, among whom were several hundred from Philadelphia, who were confident their team would win the series. The scores of the games were as follows: The New York City Local, according to developments, did not send its accredited delegate, although individual members of that body had contributed to a special expense fund for that purpose. But, without giving a reason for the dereliction, Secretary Bean returned the donations received from members, an accompanying note stating simply that as the delegate did not attend the Chicago meeting, the subscriptions were being returned.

It was disclosed, however, that the body reelected Mr. White to the presidency, and that J. Wesley Jones, president of the Chicago local organization, was again named as vice-president. It seems a logical conclusion, therefore, that the remainder of the officers were also given approval through a reelection. These include Miss Alice Carter Simmons of Tuskegee Institute, secretary-treasurer; Henry L. Grant of Washington, executive secretary; Lillian M. Lemon of Indianapolis, assistant secretary; and a long roster of directors, advisory board and chairmen of committees. In the absence of concrete information as to what the convention has accomplished it would be unwise to attempt any critical comment. It is to be hoped, of course, that there has been something of tangible essence developed, otherwise there can be no particular reason for such a gathering.

In fact, unless there is solid advising and wise counselling on the many matters that are of vital import to the colored musician, both performer and teacher, and including, naturally, the composer as well, the annual assembling of the group would resolve itself into a joy junket. Knowing the serious and conscientious attitude of President Clarence C. White toward his profession, it is not necessary for me to speculate as to accomplishments with which he has to do. He has won for himself a conspicuous place in musical letters, and he has not gained his present eminence through any catering to popular musical taste or subservience to vitiated ideals. It is a reasonable certainty that Mr. White made it his constant endeavor that the best interest of the Negro musician was in the forefront of the convention's consideration.

They appeared in the high school auditorium on Tuesday night, and on Wednesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, at the same place, was given a children's matinee, the performers ranging, according to the program, from 6 to 16 years of age. Of course, as there were names to which no definite age was attached, some may have been older, Hazel Thompson Davis, remembered in New York as a protege of the late Aida Overton Walker, now a teacher of interpretative dancing in Chicago, was the only instructor named as presenting pupils. Harold B. Maryott, Department of Public School Music, Chicago Musical College, was down for an address.

The musical event of the week was, of course, the recital on Thursday night at Aryan Grotto Temple, at which time, in addition to artists of national fame who appeared, there was-heard also the National Chorus under the baton of James A. Mundy, conductor, and the Ferrell Symphony Orchestra. The chorus sang Nathaniel Dett's "The Chariot Jubilee" and Rosamond Johnson's "O! Southland!" and the orchestra, in addition to the von Weber "Jubel" overture, played the McDowell Concerto in A Minor for piano and orchestra, with Miss. Cleo Mae Dickerson at the keyboard. Miss Dickerson has just received her degree as master of music from Chicago Musical College. Maude Roberts George of Chicago, soprano, sang a group including the Tosca aria "Vissi d'arté"; Florence Cole Talbert of The Great 12-Inning Game. All baseball fans attention! Just hear about a game At Vannest in Proctory grounds, recorded now in time. The Hildales came in numbers to scalp the Lincolnns sure. And what the Lincoln Giants did will surely long endure. Warfield, Hampton, Cockrell, Santop very tall Threw down the gauntlet and Jim Keenan answered their sharp call. The two teams met in dizzling rain but soon it cleared away. Just as the mist upon the deep, the world's great water-way. The Hildales started off with Briggs, the Johnson played quite well. But Holland twirled his rig-zag twist and cast over a spell. Blank after blank both sides received, or one run at a time. Twas nip-and-tuck, yes horse and horse, none could the steep hill climb. But Lincoln had some up their sleeve, young Wilson covered board and stopped old Stanton's might. Then Jewel Thomas sprinted hard and clasped one in glove. And saved a run by lightning throw, it was a work of love. Next came the hero, Shifty Poles, whose noble work in France. While wounded for "Old Glory's sake, showed a desperate chance. He ran from fence outside of short, dove forward with a spring. And falling prone he grasped the sphere. Just hear the welken ring. The Hildale team then took the lead, it stood just six to seven. Old Santop, came to taunt the men—The short went up to Heaven. Marcell took base on balls and Thomas' sacrifice. Bewildered, Hildale's veterans fair, remained like quiet mice. Singer, Rose of New Rochelle, smashed one to center field. The score was tied, nine innings gone, the Lincolnns never yield. Bill Pierce gave way to Wiley then, the doctor calm and firm. Held Hildale runners on the bag, he made them crawl and squirm. Joe Williams batted then for Poles, dear good old Cyclone Joe. He made those Hildale pitchers seem, as though they were quite slow. His coaching and his headwork, his pitching and his hat. Proclaim him star par excellence, his rooters all stand pat. Willett worked a double play with the Rose of New Roselle. Tornado, Cyrone, 'Avalanche,' Joe did the Hilldale mar. Lloyd coached and signalled, signed and helped his comrades all in vain. Joe Williams twirled a wicked ball. Mid praise or censure still he drove the ball in Wiley's mit. Doc. Wiley, yelled "Take him away!" Hey! Lincoln, there goes one! "There's two, yes, two," he shouted, "our task is almost done." Wilson, Thomas, Wiley and gallant, bold Marcell, Highpocket, and great Singer, the "Rose of New Rochelle" Landed one more tally in that twelve-inning game. That showed the Lincoln's mettlo and added to their fame. Tiger Flowers Defeats Detroit, Mich.-Tiger Flowers, the colored middleweight of Atlanta, Ga., scored an easy victory over White Black, a local middleweight on July 22 in Atlanta, on round bout. Flowers would probably have scored a knockout in the fourth round when he sent Black down with blows to the kidney and jaw, but the lights went out just as the count began and were out for more than a minute. "This enabled Black to last the round, and from then on Flowers seemed contented to outpoint him. WILSON LAMB VOCAL STUDIO 100 W. 125TH ST. New York City FIRST BROADWAY CHRISTMAS Saturdays at 2 P. M.

By the loss of a double-header to the Lincoln Giants at Protectory Oval on Sunday, August 5, the Hildale nine lost first place in the race of the Eastern Colored League. To August 4 the percentage of the Hildale team was 657 and that of the Cubans 621. The Cubans played Sunday in Boston, and will be in Massachusetts during the month of August, playing with teams outside the league. The Hildale percentage after losing the games on Sunday was cut to .608, while that of the Cubans remains the same. The playing of the Lincoln Giants during the past two weeks has put a new aspect on the league race. Although hopelessly out of the race during the first half of the season, they are now making a game fight and will probably be out of the basement in the next week. Several changes have been made in the team, and Marcell, the fighting third baseman, has replaced Julius Thomas as captain. The work of Benny Wilson, the new rightfielder, Singer, at second base, and Dave Brown, pitcher, is especially good this season. Between July 19 and 30, the Cubans won five straight games. Since then they have not been playing any league games, and probably will not play again against teams of the League until around the first of September. As there are ten more weeks before the close of the season, the local fans are hoping to see the Lincoln make a flying finish and at least come up to the first division of the league. Boy Insane in Panama, Officers Try to Locate Relatives in New York United States government officials of the Panama Canal Zone are making an effort to trace the mother or other relatives of Theodore S. Thomas, a 17-year-old Negro boy, who has lost his mind and is now a government charge down in the Panama Zone, said to be hopefully insane. His mother, Mrs. Louise Thomas, lived in 1915 at 121 West 138th street, but no trace has been found of her movements since that time. The father Edward Thomas, is supposed to have died in 1914, but he was a hack driver, it has been learned, at time of his death. Officer Kedell of the Bureau of Missing Persons, Police Headquarters, is in charge of the case, and is making personal investigation in the hope of locating some one who can give information concerning present whereabouts of Mrs. Thomas or other relatives.

Sandy Taylor Gets Bad Decision When Judges Gave Him No Better Than Jack McVey, former welterweight champion of the National Guard, was awarded the judges' decision over Marty Summers of the east side in the final ten round mixed bout at Commonwealth Sport Club on Saturday night, August 4. The bout was fast and closely contested throughout, but McVey was more aggressive and connected with the harder wallops. The weights were, McVey 145 pounds and Summers 150. In the ten round semi final bout, Larry Estridge, who has won twenty bouts by the knockout route since becoming professional, scored another in the third over Mort Seligman of Brooklyn. The bout was stopped to save Seligman from unnecessary punishment after Larry had dropped him for the count of nine in the second round. Estridge weighed 155 pounds and Seligman 152. Sandy Taylor, who fought the other, star ten round bout, was given an unfair decision when the judges called his bout with Marty Powell of the west side a draw. Taylor clearly outpointed his opponent in seven of the rounds and was entitled to the decision. The fans board the decision for several minutes. Taylor weighed 142 pounds and Powell 1474. The officials were John McAvoy, referee; Lew Sussman and Charley Wood, judges; and Eddie Munson timekeeper. JEANETTE SET DOWN BY N. Y. COMMISSION Refereed Bout Engaged in By-Boxer Who Is Under Ban—Suspension Automatic Joe Jeanette, the only licensed colored referee in New York State and one of the great heavyweights of the past decade, was given an indefinite suspension by the New York State Boxing Commission last week for refereeing a bout between two fighters who had been suspended by the Commission. The bout place in New Jersey, and the bout of Jeanette state that he did not know the local commission had jurisdiction over him outside the state. Officials contend, however, that any referee, licensed under the New York State law, who referees a bout where one or both of the principals have been suspended by this state, is himself automatically suspended. It is not known for how long the suspension will last. Saturday, August 11, 1822 LILLIAN DODSON WON TWO EVENTS AT Y. M. H. A. GAMES AT NEWARK New York Colored Girl Beat Camelia Sabie, International-Champ, in 60- Yd. Low Hurdles. Of the three events for girls at the annual track and field meet of the Y. M. H. H. a. held at Werequidite Park Newark, on Sunday, August 5, Lillian Dobson, wearing the colors of the Golden A. A., New York City, was the winner in two of the events in the seventy yard handicap dash. Mr. Dobson scored over Rose Fisher of the Savage School who started from seventh. Although Miss Dobson had a handicap of ten feet, it appeared that the cow have won without any handicap at all. Her time was 8 1-5 seconds. Again in the sixty yard low hurdle she was the winner, defeating Jane Hertess of the Savage School and Camille Sabie of Newark, the international champion. She had a handicap of thirteen feet and covered the distance in two seconds. Miss Dobson is a member of the Blue Belts basketball team and a well known in athletic circles in Harlem. William Boston of St. Christopher Club and Cecil Cooke of the Oyster Club, were also among the winners. Boston was third in the running high jump hardcap, jumping 6 feet 2 inches, and Cooke was fourth in the special 30 yard race. The feature of the meet was the establishment of a new world's record of 242 for the two-thirds of a mile by Joe Ray. This displaces both the indoor and outdoor marks, which were 241 25 and 244 2-5 respectively. Baseball Team Organized A new plan to attract and hold the books and young men has been hit upon by Siloam Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, which recently organized a baseball team of young men of the church and fitted them up with new uniforms and equipment. The team appeared in its new uniforms against a semi-professional team at Prospect Park on Saturday, August 4, and won its first game by a score of 9-6. J. W. James is manager of the team.

The World Grace Cong'l Ch Acquires Chur 308-310 We Edifice Formerly Belonged First Service Was Held Garner Has Done Sp Two Years' About two years ago the Rev. A. C. Garner came to New York to establish a Congregational church in Harles, under the auspices of the New York Congregational conference. Prior to accepting the difficult task, Rev. Mr. Garner was pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church, 17th and P streets, Bingham, D. C. When he left Washington he began immediately the duties assigned him. The next Sunday after his farewell in the Arizona Capital, he opened a service in the Y. W. C. A. auditorium in New York. He had no members who were not organized in the audience. He gathered him in the Y. W. C. A. a small group of earnest people. This months afterwards he organized Grace Congregational Church with 100 members. Another six months and Rev. M. Garner had succeeded in merging the Harlem Congregational Church with the Grace Congregational Church under the name Grace Congregational Church of Harlem. Easter is their anniversary date. The Harlem church had been in existence since 1911 but had not been sufficiently encouraged by the denomination to make the showing necessary to progress. Four months from the merger Rev. M. Garner had his people into a church building worth $85,000. The church held its initial service there last Sunday, August 5, 1923. The church also owns a parapage at 250 West 136th street. The value of the church and parapage is about $75,000. The church bar is planned, developed, named, rented and housed under the sane and equitable leadership of the Rev. A. Garner. The new church building is at 306-200 West 190th street. It was formerly the Immunale Congregational Church, Swedish. The seating capacity is 400 in the auditorium. There are six rooms and a basement besides. The structure is well adapted to this new work founded by the present pastor. The Congregational Church Building Society of New York is credited with great service to Grace Church. Last Sunday the Grace Church and the Immunary Church divided time. Dr. Garner will hold the morning service, leaving the evening to the Swedish congregation until they find quarters elsewhere. It was a great day in the history of Manhattan Congregationalism as it re- *NEWS OF THE CHURCHES* Mother Zion Church. Promptly at the usual hour, the morning service on Sunday, August 5, was begun. The senior choir rendered special music. Dr. Brown spent a few minutes soliciting pledges and individuals to take books and banks. He spoke of the death of President Harding and declared that he was a Christian gentleman and strove with all his might to please all the people which was an impossibility. Dr. Brown asked all, as American citizens, to bow their heads in prayer, and to sing My Country 'tis of these'. In offering the prayer, he bawled the thine of grace for special blessings of strength upon the new President, that he might be found equal to the emergence of the nation in all matters pertaining to the office which he is held upon to fill. The sermon was preached by the pastor. He announced his text from October 11-16. The theme of his discussion was the "Looker On". He referred to the duty of America in assisting the nations of the world in material settlement, as one that should be performed. He cited an instance in which he was not in accord. In a recent appeal to the President of the United States, Bishop James Cannon, the Methodist Church South, criticized America for her failure to rise up against the Turks who had murdered the Metropolitan Bishop of Smyrna, "The Bishop's head and hair were torn out by the roses, the eyes were gouged from their eyes, the ears and nose cut off, and the throat being stabbed to death, his body was dragged through the streets until he was simply a mass of pulp." Dr. Bishop agreed that this was inimitable, but was at a loss to see how Bishop Cannon could shed so many terrible tears because of this kind of treatment to the Bishop of Smyrna when for the last fifty years he lived in America, they have been murdered, and lynching black men and women, yet there was not the highest protest.

Percaps the most effective singing which the choir of Rush has ever done was last Sunday morning at the seven o'clock services when they rendered the hymn, "Lead Kindly Light," preceding Dr. Oliver's sermon on "The Marriage of the King's" Son, or, the Grace of God." The text is found in Matthew 22:12. "The admirable feature of the Parables," said Dr. Oliver, "is the simplicity of them." The foundation of the sermon was based on three outlines: (1) Grace of God; (2) warning against individual holiness; (3) holiness necessary to enter into the marriage feast. "Applications necessary to make one's life a success must not depend on mother or father, but on that portion of God's grace which you have in your heart, and which manifests itself in your daily life. Grace goes by degrees. As you put out, so proportionately do you take in." The basic principle of God's grace is love and unless we are clothed in love, we haven't on the proper wedding garment. God's grace is universal and perpetual and anybody who desires it can have the proper outfit in order to be present at that great feast. The essential requirement necessary for preparation for this feast is repentance or being godly sorry for your sins. And when you have gotten this requisite, you will be on good shape for the marriage. The last thought was that the good and the small, the rich and the poor, must have the grace of God in their hearts if they enter into this feast: The preacher at the 3 o'clock communion service was Rev. W. L. Wilson of Metropolitan I., M. E. Church His subject: "It is Finished." The sermon was full of timely advice and his audience was enthusiastic and attentive. Rev. Wilson preached so clearly and plainly that even a little child could grasp the meaning of his discourse and start on the road to higher ground. His choir rendered excellent music. cellent music. At B o'clock, Dr. Oliver again filled his pulpit; preaching on God's call to Matthew. The comparison of Matthew's call to the man's call today was made clear and concise. made the prayers were offered for the new chief executive and for the beloved family of our late President. Rev. Auburn of the New York National Baptist Church will preach at 3 o'clock Sunday. First Emmanuel Church. At the eleven o'clock services on Sunday morning, the assistant pastor, Rev. William H. Hogana, preached to the many gathered.

St. John 6:54 "The Sunday-school was opened at the usual hour by Superintendent Hogana. A review of the lesson was given also. At 4:30 the Literary Society convened.

Cisco of Oyster Bay had charge of the praise and prayer services. Many attended this service and testified for the Lord Jesus Christ. The services, in the evening were very uniquely carried out. Pastor Bolden's sister, Mrs. H. Bell of Philadelphia, read and explained a passage in the scriptures. It was, "Though I speak with the tongues of man and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mystery, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profite me nothing. Charity suffereth long and is kind; charity envieth not; charity venueth not itself, is not puffed up. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil." At the close of this talk, Pastor Bolden gave twenty minutes for testimonials from any members in the congregation. Mrs. Emily Townsend, who has been appointed as assistant organist to Mrs. Butler, who is away for the month of August, was commended by the pastor for splendid work and help she has been to the church.

PEARL LAVAN ALLEN HELD FOR NEW JERSEY ON SERIOUS CHARGES Mrs. Pearl LaVan Allen of 208 West 131st street, is held in the Tomba prison for extradition to New Jersey on serious charges on a warrant issued by the Court of Quarter Sessions of Morris Co. N. J. It is alleged, in an affidavit sworn to by Francis Peregrine or Perigene that on December 2, 1922, and at other times, Mrs. Allen engaged in acts of adultery with an Italian, Joe Patti, who was enveloped as a caretaker by Mrs. Balbach, a wealthy resident of Mendham, Morris Co. The arrest of Mrs. Allen is a sequel it appears, to the arrest of Patti who left Mrs. Balbach's service after being charged with trespass in connection with Mrs. Balbach's entry into the Balbach residence during the Mrs. absence. Patti was arrested in Brooklyn and is now in the Mornistown jail. Mrs. Allen has been much in the lime-light of late. After leaving her husband, the Rev. George W. Allen of 208 best, 131st street, she attempted to have him unbalanced in a state institution as mentally unbalanced, but she instituted separation proceedings, taking for $50 weekly alimony and $750 as counsel fees. This proceeding is pending in the Supreme Court of New York County. Tillen, while Mr. Allen was absent from his home on a visit to Saratoga Springs, Mr. Allen then enlisted to the house and stayed there for before he returned. When Mr. Allen came home and found his wife in his rooms he gave her orders to vacate, but she proceeded to break up furniture and windows and to voice her opinion of the tenants in Mr. Allen's house. She was preferred by her husband and held for 12th District Magistrate's Court for disorderly conduct, in $300 bonds. When she appeared in the 12th District Court on August 1 to answer the disorderly conduct charge, officers from New Jersey were present and put her under arrest. She is held without bail, awaiting the signing of extradition paper by Gov. Smith in response to request of Gov. Silzer of New Jersey. PULLMAN PORTER NEWS BY JAMES H. HOGARS Continuing the subject "Retired from the Service", there is, irrespective of its legal, moral and economic expediency, a certain amount of sentiment and pathos attached to this retiring business, especially among railroad employees. A few trips since we passed, on our way North, one of our regular .scheduled trains, the engine of which was decorated from the headlight to the tender with souvenirs, flags and other bunnings. This decoration was a token of retirement. It signified that the driver of this engine was making his last trip as an engineer in the service of the company, of which he has been a part and each of the past forty years. It didn't matter how timely he gripped his throttle; how clearly he saw his signals; how steady his nerves; his time was up, he had reached the age limit. He had been running this particular train for the last twenty-five years and the way he handled his locomotive showed that he was capable of running her many more years, but here is her the light of efficiency tiled. Rather than dummed up his tribute; he must make way for another. As this engine man drove his locomotive pass, outs, he gave two shill blasts from its whistle which struck us somewhat hek the agonizing appeal of a child, being deprived of its favorite toy. We have no doubt that an engineer viewed every mile post and signal that trip with feelings knack to sadness and regret. The same sentimentality pervades the time when his time to retire comes. But when they leave the paths of sentiment their roads are paved quite differently. The engineer's pension from the railroad is computed on a percentage basis of his entire earnings while in its service. He also receives an "old age" pension from the Brotherhood of Railroad Engineers. With these two, he need not worry about keeping the "wolf of hunger" from his doom. The only thing that concerns him is, "what must he do to keep fit"—not, "what must he do to eat." Now, that this retirement rule is to be applied to the porters, it is up to them to get busy and make liekwise provisions for the retiring period. We understand from a reliable officer of the Fulman Porter's Beneficial Association that some such plan will be introduced at their next annual meeting. For the association to tognear a matter of such vital importance its members, would be nothing more or less than a lack of foresight and intelligence.
