(Special to Taz New Year Agz)
Washington, D. C.—An institution destined to be one of the greatest factors in the development of the race was started twenty-five years ago when the National Benefit Life Insurance Company ywas incorporated in Washington, D. C. At that time its cash capital was $6.
On August 11, 1923, the stockholders at a special meeting authorized an increase in capital stock to $250,000. Their aim is to keep it the greatest financial organization created, owned and managed by colored men in the interest of the race.
Twenty-five years ago the company was registered by S. Rutherford, of Lehighburg, Va. a young colored man who came to the National Capital to make his mark. His total cash capital was $60 but he was possessed with unintended energy and faith. He gathered around himself a few loyal supporters and then hustled out after business. His office furniture consisted of a table and a chair. His salary was $35 the month, and he had to earn it by selling pellets and collecting premiums, which he did by pedaling his way about the city up an old bicycle.
quire a capitalization of not less than $200,000 before a license will be granted to do the several kinds of business now written by the company.
The company is located in its own five-story building at 609 F. Street, N.W.-where 25 years ago, young Rutherford had his table and chair and paid $6 a month as tenant—and which is only one of the properties owned by the company.
The officers and directors of the company are among the best known and most influential men of the nation's capital consisting of R. H. Rutherford.
$20,000,000 Insurance In Force.
Her from that tiny beginning, by means of hard, steady work, intelligent organization and high-grade personnel, the National Benefit life Insurance Company, officered, owned and conducted entirely by colored people and developed among the men and women of the race, has grown into the large and commanding position which it occupies today, with an expanse record of twenty-one annual dividends paid to stockholders, with 1,200 registered policy holders, and with 1,000 new arrivals in force. The payers are 250,000 including several valuable real estate properties in the District of Columbia that are four states; a reserve bank of 145,922; a surplus of $100,000; and in its deposit $26,100 for the protection of policy holders. To carry in its present business, the company has a force of 1,200 employees, 110 core managers and assistants, 40 local agents and 930 field agents.
It hope of becoming an Old Line Refire company, with a paid-up capital of $100,000, materialized in 1919. It operates in some states that no other colored company has yet succeeded in entering. On more than one occasion it has successfully met competition of the largest companies; it issues a variety of industrial and ordinary policies calculated to meet practically every need to which humanity is best, and to materially assist in something life's pathway in innumerable ways. It is the only company of its kind incorporated under laws enforced by the Congress of the United States for the District of Columbia, whose present plant, and plant everything seems ripe for it to become a sensible insurance gateway of the face. For whatever may eventually bring upon its protecting folds, the National Benefit Life Insurance Company will not disappoint them. This is the basis on which business is sought. It is realized that the company has come to stay longer than any of them; possessed of a perpetual center-filed the "brook"-it goes on forever. It is an educational factor of the highest value, in business, and is destined to wax mightier and mightier in the unfolding of time with the increase of business policy holders and assets.
Cooperation on Great Scale.
The steady growth of the National Death Life Insurance Company is a natural to the faith industry and industry of its employees, who entered the work with an enthusiasm that knows no bounds. But the simple truth is that the man who founded this great and successful business organization for the protection and benefit of the Negro race was dealing with the gigantic forces of life and self development for a whole people. Mrs. Rutherford, following some inner guiding instinct of faith, did not at the beginning realize himself the enormous power which he was calling into action—the power generated by combining the credit and earnings of a great number for the protection of each individual in times of emergency or need in a word, co-operation on a great scale with systematic organization and faithful attention to every detail. The National Benefit Life Insurance company is now doing business in the District of Columbia, and in the states of New Jersey, Rhode Island, Iceland, Virginia, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland, and within a short time will open offices and establish an administrative force in the states of Tennessee, Kansas, Arkansas, Alabama, North Carolina and Missouri. As soon as the insurance has been sold, applications will be made for license to administer in the states of Wisconsin, Indiana and Nebraska. The best of the latter states are

With 7,000 delegates and uniformed Knights of Pythias in the city, the twenty-second biennial session of the Supreme Lodge and the Supreme Court, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. & A. opened at the Abyssinian Baptist Church, the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor, on Monday evening, August 20. Welcome addresses were by George P. Nicholson, corporation counsel for the City of New York, as the representative of Mayor Hylan, and Assemblyman Henri W. Shields, as the representative of the State. A telegram of regret at not being able to attend the opening session was read by Lee Crawford from Governor Alfred E. Smith and response was made by Roscie Conkling Simmons, the supreme lecturer of the order
The Supreme Grand Chancellor, S. W. Greene of New Orleans, was introduced by Dr. J. A. Morgan. Before beginning his duties as the presiding officer, Supreme Chancellor Greene reviewed the progress of the Order since it last met in New York in 1891. He pointed out that the fraternity had an enrollment of 184,000 male members 90,000 members of the Court of Calahete and 27,000 juveniles. That the various subordinate lodges owned temples and, other property which cost $1,982,000 to build aid that the Grand Lodge had cash of $134,994 on hand. Continuing his statement he said that the total resources of the Order are now $4,626,799.83.
Fair Play to All
In welcoming the delegates to the city the Corporation Counsel, Nicholson, congratulated them on the progress the Order had made and stated that the figures given out by the Grand Chancellor were almost too large to comprehend. He said that New York and the city administration believed in fair play to all peoples, regardless of color or creed, and held his appointment of James S. Watson a colored man, as assistant Corporation Counsel. He said further that he believed that the time would soon one when the intelligence and ability of the Negro would be so well recognized in this country that such organizations as the Ku Klux Klan that cater to race prejudice would be driven into oblivion.
In his short and hearty welcome, Assemblyman Shields took occasion to congratulate the fraternity on its accomplishments, but declared that we are as the material accomplishments of the organization had been, in greatest good had been done and was being done by teaching love and fraternity to its members and the race at large. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, responding in his characteristic manner, spoke for more than an hour, addressing many of his remarks to the. Corporation man who had to leave in the midst
Plunged, Fully Clothed, Into Arkansas Bayon, and Rescued Girl Who Was About to Drown Self and Father in Frantic Struggle.
Quick action on part of Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tempurgee Institute, probably saved the lives of John L. Webb, prominent citizens here, and his daughter, white on a picnic Monday, August 20.
Seated on the embankment of one of the bayons near the city watching the bathers, Dr. Moton and others of the party killed persons coming from the lips of Webb's daughter, who had ventured into her depth. Mr. Webb, swimming near by, resisted to her nausea but, in her fear and fraternity, the girl frantically grabbed both of her belongings, rendering him helpless in the deep water.
Noting that Webb could not help his daughter, and that both were in the most imminent danger of drowning, Dr. Moton, an expert counselor, plunged in instantly, fully clothed as he was, and swam quickly to the struggling figures. He took charge of the girl and brought her to where she was quickly resuscitated. Mr. Webb, relieved of his burden, was also able to reach land.
John L. Webb is secretary of the Woodmen of Union, one of the leading Negro fraternal organizations, and is treasurer of the National Negro Business League of which Dr. Moton is president, and which has just closed its annual session.

K. OF P. DENIED QUEENS CAMPING GROUND
The local Knights of Pythias, who are hosts this week to the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias, are out $2500 paid as rent for a camp site in the Jackson Heights section of Long Island. Local residents of this section objected to the presence of Nepartment to refuse to grant the permit for the encampment of the league in that section. The permit was not granted, but the real estate brokers refused to return any part of the money paid for the use of the property.
Another site in the Bronx, ten acres at Boston Road and Baychester avenue, was immediately secured by Lee Crawford and other officials. It is estimated that five thousand delegates and villiers are in attendance at the convention and extra lodging facilities were badly needed for delegates.

Criticism of the transportation committee in charge of the arrangements for the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, in session here in New York City this week, has been caustic and plessifical, because of the full page announcement on back of the official program to the effect that the "Mogul" Checker Cab taxis had been selected as the "Official Cabs for the Supreme Lodge and Military Encampment."

The well-founded indignation, is based on the fact that the Mogul Chaucer Cabs Co., builder and seller of the cars, has adopted the policy of rigorously refusing to sell cars to many owners who does not agree to employ white drivers only. And it is an absolute and incontrovertible fact that within the past few weeks one or two independent owners who attempted to use colored chauffeurs on Mogul cabs were forced by the company to dispose of the colored drivers and install white men in their stead. In the face of the action which bared colored men from an opportunity to drive the Mogul cars, which are said to be of somewhat better construction and more comfortable as, conveyances than most of the public taxis, it is considered rather strange that a colored organization, such as the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, should be put in the position of putting the company responsible for the action before the public as "official" caterer to its transportation needs.
Colored Owner Impered
A colored man, owner of three Penman taxis, a car which is said to be equal in every respect to the Mogul, is said not to have been approached in any manner by the transportation committee or any of its members, although he complains only colored drivers. It is said that he employs colored men in the field of an attempt to compel him to attend white drivers, an attempt which he repulsed. Henry N. Quarles, chairman of the transportation committee, was seen by an Age reporter and asked why the preference was given to a company which has an strong prejudice against Negro chauffeurs, although it does not permit that feeling to extend to the race when it is a paying customer. Mr. Quarles sought to justify the action by declaring that an agent must enroll Negro taxi own-

Snake and Root Doctors Are Thriving on Newly Arrived Migrants Who Are Ready Victims—Charlatans Said To Average $200 to $300 Each Every Week.
The residents of Harlem are being preyed upon by a crowd of conscienceless bloodsuckers and avaricious money hunters to the extent of thousands of dollars weekly. These vultures go forth in the guise of fortune-tellers, spiritualists, herb and root doctors, necromancers and clairvoyants of all sorts and descriptions.
The Age told last week of the arrest of two of the worst of the species, men who pretended to be skilled in the science of surgery and medicine, and who placed in jeopardy the lives of hundreds of trusting but unwise women of the community who sought them for treatment.
The victim in this case, a young woman, Amie White of 236 West 131st street, misled by the spurious claims set forth by a man living next door to her at 238, went to him for treatment. This man, "Doctor" Milton Moore, attempted to perform an abortion upon the young woman, but in attempting to use the instruments necessary to such a performance his lack of skill brought on a condition he was unable to remedy.

(Staff Correspondence)
Hot Springs, Ark.—For genuine enthusiasm and unanimity of action in formulating practical plans for future constructive work, the twenty-fourth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, held here August 15, 16 and 17, will go down in history as one of the most successful since the organization's inception.
Hot Springs, Ark.—For unanimity of action in form future constructive work, meeting of the National No here August 15, 16 and 17, one of the most successful cption.
With Dr. R. R. Moton, president of the League, the central figure of the Tuskegee Hospital controversy, two incidents during the convention gave a touch of the dramatic first, when Dr. Moton, in the presence of a large gathering, composed of both races, including the Governor of Arkansas, severely arraigned the Ku Klux Klan, this extinction evidently having been prompted by efforts of the Klan to buildize the United States Government into naming white physicians and nurses for the hospital.
The second highly dramatic scene occurred when press dispatches were read announcing that General Hines at Washington had ordered Negro physicians to proceed to Tuskegee. Speeches were arranged in triage motions for the effective manner in which he had carried on the fight for a Negro personnel, and the following resolutions were adopted, first by the Executive Committee and then the convention;
Approves Moton's Hospital Action
The executive committee of the National Negro Business League, expresses to Dr. R. R. Moton its approval of the splendid service he has rendered the race in being able to have established at Tuskegee a Government Hospital for the care of our disabled soldiers who fought so valiantly in the recent World War, where they will be cared for by men and women of the race. We commend the efforts made by Dr. Moton for full recognition of his race. The Negro has advanced along all lines, and is fully qualified if given an opportunity. We do, therefore, assure Dr. R. R. Moton.

He immediately communicated with the police officials of the 38th Precinct, and Detectives J. Butler and Frank McFarland were assigned to make an investigation.
The officers paid a visit to Moore's office. They found that he had it fitted up in simulation of a Hindu Temple, with burning candles and smoldering incense to create an oriental atmosphere. "Doctor" Moore was accounted to suit his surroundings, as he posed also as a mental scientist.

The regular sessions of the meeting were held at Visitors Chap. A. M. E. Church. The three hundred and odd delegates and visitors were entertained by local citizens, headed by John L. Webb, chairman of the local committee; and treasurer of the League. The program of entertainment consisted of drives to the various points of interest, in Hot Springs, receptions and dinners, culminating on the last day of the session in a banquet at Whittington Park.
Governor Welcomed League
On the evening of August 15, the delegates were warmly welcomed by Governor Thomas E. McRae of Arkansas and Mayor H. A. Jones, both of whom made a fine impression. Gov. McRae paid complimentary reference to the great progress made by the Negro. He said he did not belong to that class of white people who drink liquor, curse Negroes and get elected to office. He asked that his race not be judged by white criminals any more than the Negro race should be judged by its bad element. Gov. McRae deplored the presence of so much hatred in the world today, and said, "If hate is in the hearts of any of our white or black people I want them

During James's time upon the end of attending Trinity College, he joined the white and colored people, and held all the spirit of cooperation active in Hot Springs. These men, he learned to Dr. Moore speaks on various occasion expressions, the opinion that in delivering his personal address he was hard to ignore advantage than any time before. His long and distinguished career. Adhering to the code and policy of speaking publicly to white and colored people of the South in racial matters during his life, he turned to Gov. McBain and Major Jones, who were seized on the platform, and told them the Negro wants so, all the rights and privileges as enjoyed by other citizens, and would be satisfied with teaching less.
Motion Condensed Kite
Although in a State which has disgraced itself in recent months by the mob, Dr. Moton could not have been more outspoken against the lawless acts perpetrated by the Ku Khun Khun. Commenting on the death of President
"Assembled here in the twenty-fourth annual session of the National Negro Business League—we are called upon at this time to mourn the passing of the twenty-ninth president of the United States, Warren Gomalal Harding. A great sense of loss still broods over the nation, the loss of a gracious kindly friend, as well as of a just and courageous statesman. And it is hard, my friends to say for which the nation grieves the more the friend of the president. But to answer I thank we grieve more to day for the great and noble friend of every citizen in the nation than for His Excellency, the President. The latter—the president, can be replaced, has already been replaced; but the former—the friend, no power on earth can replace. The place he held unchallenged in the affections of the nation and of the world is peculiarly his alone: that place he still holds and will continue to hold against all, unfaltering changes of time, against the struggles of death itself."
Though they knew him personally will always remember his unfailing easy courtesy, his simple instinctive kindness and goodness of heart. Through presence with a multitude of care it was easy for even the humblest nation of the land to see the president of the nation. Admitted on his progeny he listened with ready and patient sympathy; once his pious mentor care that he had a friend at apart. and that friend was the president himself.
"And there was one unfailing clue to a action—that was his sense of justice and his love of peace. Now well he合合 mind these two elements in his memorable Birmingham address. Two things he sought for—justice for the Negro and peace for the South. Some admired his plan for justice and deplored his concessions to the South; others applauded his sympathy with the South and depreciated his misunderstanding of the Negro parties were satisfied that the President's gold and that he sought the best interest of both parties. Having broken the Solid South without leaving his front porch at Marton, he went into the South as a messenger of peace and good will of justice and rightness. Today white and black alike bless Warren G. Harding as a friend."
In discussion of other subjects the speaker said:
"The National Negro Business is League to be congratulated on this its twenty-fourth annual session. We are to be congratulated" on the pleasant apparel under-which we are most. If we take account of the twenty-four years we could properly and significantly count twenty-four years of progress. I know Dr. Washington, the founder of this organization, would rejoice in the wonderful business progress, as well as the progress along, other lines that the Negro race has made since the beginning of this movement. While the League cannot take credit for all the progress that has been made, it was truly had a large share in the large number of acres of land which the race has accumulated, something like 220,000,000 acres, and more than a million farms owned and operated by colored people, not to mention the 650,000 homes owned by our people.
Twenty-four years ago when the Twenty-four year was organized in Boston, the aggregate number of business organizations corporate and individual, owned and operated by colored people was not more than 20,000 with a combined capital of $10,000,000. Today they own and operate 0,000 with a combined capital of $80,000,000. The Negro owns in America more than a billion dollars worth of property real and personal, whereas when the Declaration of Independence was adopted, the combined capital of the entire nation was about $500,000,000, yet there are a few people even today who question the progress of the Negro. Thank God, those people who doubt the ability of the Negro to succeed along, business lines grow less and less. We must keep in mind, also, there are people within the race who sometimes thoughtlessly question the ability of their own race to succeed; but friends, there is no reason in the world for any pension on the part of any one as to the Negro's ability and determination to succeed along all lines of human endeavor. Here in America, in education, in business, in the professions, mechanical arts, in agriculture, he is making progress that is almost startling to the casual observer.
"I spent a few weeks last fall in Scotland as a member of a great congress, composed of people from all over the world, many rooms and nations, people who are presumed to have no bias with reference to the Negro race, and yet I was surprised often by the insecurity and sometimes evident surprise of that group of people when they questioned the statements which I frequently made in my address of the progress of the American Negro along the lines herefore mentioned, though my statements, as usual, were conservative and quite within the faces.
"We must keep in mind that, in spite of the difficulty which he faces, that nowhere in the world have Negroes, as a group, such great opportunity on so large a scale as right here in America, and nowhere he has made so much progress as right here in America on so large a scale.
"But our victory has not yet been won. We must not deceive ourselves. Our business progress, as measured by American business standards, is yet largely in its infancy; we are just scratching the surface as teaching the great possibilities that lie before the American Negro throughout this nation.
Interesting Discussion
"We have now 72 successful Negro banks. We should and could have 700. There are many cities with a large Negro population, particularly in the North, where leaders in business agree No."
A resumming two adopted plans, then in the with Dr. Mason's address at the Atlanta session of the League, plans be worked out whereby the large amount of surplus capital, etc., impetuously by Negro sorrow, humiliation and other organisations, be made available for the promotion and expatriation of Negro business on a large scale.
A resolution expressing deep sympathy for the recent death of Warren G. Harding, and another expressing the hope that as President Cotton will always stood presiding over the nation, President he will adhere to this policy with regard to safeguarding the Constitutional rights of all citizens, were adopted.
Furthering League Plans
It was recommended that steps be taken to secure more farm demonstrations against *Nagman*, the in view of the negotiation, consideration be given to providing the Nagman with better educational facilities and a more equal environment of the laws, and that the South seriously consider such evils as "Jim Crow" case, unless labor central laws, more violence, voting restrictions and the general spirit of discovery which *Nagman* reserves at the hands of those wicked whom they come in contact in daily transactions.
On behalf of Allen W. Clark, of St. Louis, who takes an interest in furthering the Nation's Negro Health Work, Mrs. Diaza Braida presented prizes to Atlanta, Ga., Greenville, S.C., and Indianapolis, Ind., respectively, for having put over the best health work program. Chicago came out visitor in a spiritual contest as chosen for the holding of the most meeting in August, 1994, on which contains the twenty-fifth anniversary of the league will be appropriately celebrated.

After explaining that he had recruited from making public awareness as the subject because he felt it is the part of wisdom as do his acting direct to those who were in position to openly withstand it. Dr. Moon said:
In all of this adult, two great masters have been attaining those of us at Tuskegee who here had already to deal with the signifier. The first was the persuasion that Negroes have a right above all other people to serve their own and second, the necessity of preserving interest than relations of good will and mutual habituation between white people and black people at Tuskegee, in the South, and all over the country which was the outstanding possession of the ear or of Booker T. Washington.
"The far to the first active gown, we have abundant evidence that our physicians and nurses are capable of rendering the services demanded. This is not only my own opinion, but it is the testimony of those in authority outside of the Negro Roots. I have steadfastly and unquestionably taken that position from the very beginning and from the very beginning and have said that by every right of sentiment and justice our physicians and nurses should have the opportunity to serve in that hospital, and I have made this assertion where it would mean most; namely, before the superintendent of the Veterans' hospital at Tuskegee, the director of the Veterans' bureau in Washington, and before the Jail, appointed President Harding himself. I stand on that position today and there is on man living who can make me change it, and there is no force on earth and in heaven that will make me surrender it.
"On the other hand, there is the question of good will between the races to be considered. For 25 years, Washington so conducted the work at Twilight that the school and the town was constantly moving forward in hearty cooperation and they were those among our white friends in the town of Twilight who were equally as steadfast in their determination that these harmonious relations should not be disturbed as he. Therefore to avoid any possible rupture of these harmonious relations, I have avoided as far as possible any public statement on the situation; I have preferred to make my recommendations, in those in authority who were in a position to adjust the matter on institutional basis. And in every instance I have reinforced my recommendations with the statement that if Negro physicians were debarred from serving in this hospital it would be the occasion of great embarrassment to all concerned."
At the conclusion of Dr. Moen's speech, the convention passed a resolution endorsing his stand in the controversy.
Nat'l Y. W. C. A. Board Holds 2nd Conference
The National Board of the Young Women's Christian Association held a second Community Conference at the State Normal School, Frankfort, Ky., July 25 to August 2. There were 12 states and 23 cities represented by 63 women and 43 girls as delegates. The great object of this conference was to assemble this group and attempt to live together for one week as one big Association family and to carry back to their respective associations the help and inspiration received. Miss Eva D. Bower: was Executive of the Conference. The other leaders were Miss Crystal Bird, Miss Mae C. Hawes, Mrs. Cordella A. Winn, Dr. Sara W. Brown and Miss Frances Wittiams of the National Board, Miss Helen Hudson of Louisville, Ky., Miss Ellariz Mason, St. Louis, Mo. and Rev. H. . Herod of Indianapolis, Ind. President F. M. Wood, who has just taken charge of the school, put all the resources of the school at the disposal, and made the conference comfortable and happy.
Under date of May 1, 1923, in a letter to Governor William W. Brandon of Alabama, the late President Warren G. Harding declared unanimously that, "if we had available the abundance of experienced professional people to instigate such a program," the plan of colored officers and staff (for the Vesarean Hospital at Tuskegee would certainly be followed out.
The President's letter was in reply to a telegram sent him by Governor Brandon on April 22, in which the Alabama Executive evidently made some vague reference to possible racial trouble resources and sources in the colored hospital. The President's letter reads as follows:
THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON
My dear Governor Brandon:
I have your telegram of April 20th.
It is quite correct that we are working upon a plan of organizing the Tuskegee hospital with colored officers and staff.
It is an institution for Negro service men. It is located adjacent to the great Negro university. These people have a right to prove their ability to be of service among themselves. The decision is not final, but certainly such a program will be followed out if we find available the abundance of experienced professional people to inaugurate such a program.
I would not, for anything in the world, do that which would suggest the making of any racial trouble. I am at a very great loss to understand what your telegram means to convey to me relating to that phase of the situation. Meanwhile the survey is going on with very great care and no small degree of hopefulness of being a fine and helpful thing. If there are urgent and specific reasons why it should not be done I should be more than glad to consider them.
Yours very truly,
(Signed)
WARREN G. HARDING.

Chandler Owens Moves To Southern California
Chandler Owens, widely known locally as a Socialist and editor of the Messenger Magazine, has gives up his citizenship in New York and is located in Los Angeles, Cal., according to the California Eagle, a weekly newspaper of that city. According to The Eagle, Owens recently returned to California after a lecture-tour of several months and organized The California Development Company with offices at: 201% Central avenue, with the following officers: Chandler Owens, president; A. G. Stokes, vice president; Dr. J. T. Smith, treasurer; Elijah Cooper, secretary; Thomas J. Pillow, R. C. Owens, Dr. F. A. Pearl and Dr. E. C. Nelson as directors.
The company will deal primarily in real estate and development projects, and it is said to have already purchased a 12,000 piece of property. The company has also announced through The Eaglege that it will provide for the locating of thousands of Negroes from the South in Los Angeles. Apparently Owens has been converted from his Socialistic views since leaving New York and is now a fullfledged capitalist.

Baltimore, Md.-Strong protests are being voiced against the intention of the State to put white doctors and nurses in charge of the new colored hospital for occupatives at Henryton, Carroll county.

Recent developments in the Federal courts make it appear that the bucketeer and their legal aids, the crooked lawyer who have screened them from punishment, have run up against a buzz saw in the shap of the Federal prosecutor and grand jury. These confidence operators have taken millions of dollars from the public on the plot of investment in stocks and other securities without the slightest intention of carrying out their promises. Some of the old bucketeers, as these bogus investment houses are called, used to go through the farce buying the stock for their customers and selling it immediately and pocketing the sum realized. The later dealers in human credulity improved on this by simplifying the money extracted from their customers and throwing the orders in the bucket, so to speak.
Millions of dollars have been taken from people all over the country through the agency of these bucket shops. No class society has been safe from their seducive invitations to invest in their giltedger specialties. Many residents of Harlem are uncumbered to the inducements held of doubling their savings by taking a large sum in some specious speculation. After the "sucker list," as the roll of names stresses of possible customers in the court played to the limit and the dollar extracted, the bucketeer finds it convenient to close it sometimes they merely dislike it in the case of larger concerns went through the form of a proceeding in bankruptcy, availing themselves of United States Courts to get rid of theiritors.
There was where they made a great misas, their bold methods of robbing the race attracted the notice of Col. William Award, the United States District Attorney. In a most notorious case, he invited proceedings against the nominals of the concern for conspiracy and cont of court in suppressing important matters and has sought indictments by grand jury against other parties inter-Col. Hayward has proceeded against bucketeers with the same disregard of logical influence as he displayed in prosecring the members of a firm of millionaire leggers a few months ago. If he can a few of this stripe of confidence oper- and their wealthy backers and legal aids, in the penitentiary, the id will be safer for the confiding own-of funds seeking investment.
The patron of the bucket shop has not the satisfaction of "losing his money Wall Street." It never gets further than bucketeer's pocket. Let Col. Hayward these sharks indicted for larceny as was conspiracy. No fortune was too and no savings fund too small to es- their greed and cupidity.

Like individuals, newspapers differ, one from another in their makeup. While the news columns may consist largely of the same class of matter, with slightly different treatment as to space and headlines, when it comes to the editorial page the true character of the publication, if it has any, is most strikingly revealed. One of the most absorbing features of making up "The Age" each week is the scanning of the material pages of its contemporaries for excerpts of their opinion on current topics, to be reproduced with appropriate comment. However, one of our livest exchanges has turned the tables by subjecting "The Age" to the same scrutiny and comment. The "Birmingham Reporter" of August 11 said:
The New York Age, one of the oldest and most popular metropolitan newspapers, is making some attractive improvements. Its editorial page has undergone changes which bring prestige and consideration that the former style did not have. For a long time the feature editorials of this remarkable publication were by a creditable writer and under his signature and because of the articles being featured as they were both added and detracted. It was good for The Age to have such a reputable writer on its staff, but it detracted from the editorial opinion of The Age and diminished the force of its expression giving the honor to an individual writer, who may or may not have
We want to congratulate, if we may, Editor Moore for these changes and pay our compliments to the brilliant and illuminating editorial page of August 4th. All of us must feel proud of the publication and honor its management for its continuance and its policy of conservative and constructive efforts. For a long time The New York Age was all we had as a national forum of thought and opinion. The coming of other brilliant and substantial lights into the field cannot detract from our first metropolitan paper, and what we might have to say in praise only, reflect the teaching and good judgment of The Age from which most of our inspiration came. It may be that The Age has not received all the consideration it is entitled to from our colored journals, but when we examine the records of the fraternity carefully all of us will find it worthy of the highest consideration.
We thank Editor Adams for his congratulations and appreciate the keen discrimination with which he has scanned the editorial page of "The Age." Whatever changes of style or makeup may become advisable in view of altered conditions, the policy of "The Age" will remain the same in contending for equal rights and opportunities, as well as helping to make those opportunities through every agency that can be enlisted to that end.
THE PRESIDENT'S RIGHT HAND.
The appointment of former Representative C. Bascom Slemp of Virginia as Secretary to the President was in the nature of a shock to those who have kept tab on recent developments in Virginia politics. The office of Secretary to the President is of comparatively recent creation and was intended to confer upon the occupant of that post greater dignity and consequence than were converted by the former title of private secretary. As a matter of fact the position has become a stepping stone to the cabinet or other high office and the individual who fills it adequately may be considered the right hand of the President in governmental affairs.
It must be conceded that ex-Congressman Slemp has many qualifications for the position. His service of seven terms in Congress has given him an intimate knowledge of public men and national affairs, which would make him of great value to the presidential office. But his recent work for the party in Virginia, emphemistically described by an editorial writer of the New York Herald, as "the effort to build up organizations in the Southern States capable of attracting votes in sufficient numbers to offer effective resistance to the Democrats" was an unfortunate experiment both for Mr. Slemp and for the Republican party in Virginia. It was in effect an effort to make the party a "lilywhite" organization by barring the duly elected delegates of a darker color from participation in the State convention. The next result was the nomination of two State tickets by Republicans and the election of a Democrat Governor and entire state ticket by increased majorities. Mr. Slemp discreetly refused to run for Congress again and the candidate taking his place on the ticket was defeated. the Republicans of Virginia thus losing their sole representative in the national legislature.
We do not know what effect this venture in "lilywhite Republicanism" has had upon Mr. Slemp. If he has profited by the experience gained in seeking to build up the party by alienating the bulk of the voters who have supported it for the past fifty years, his value as the right hand on the President may be enhanced beyond measure. If he has learned nothing and forgotten nothing that he should forget, he may prove the palsied hand that may wreck the administration at the outset. Time will soon show.
SOUTH AMERICA DISTRUSTFUL
The attitude of distrust and suspicion of the Pan-American policy of the United States, entertained in many of the South American republics, was again brought to the surface in an address made by Dr. E. S. Zeballos, former Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Argentine Republic and one time Minister to this country. The speech was regarded as a clear revelation of South American friendship for Europe and antipathy for the United States. Dr. Zeballos' strictures, as quoted, appeared to be directed chiefly against the unfitness of American exporters to meet foreign orders satisfactorily, and reflections cast upon the financial credit of the Southern republics.
While these causes may have added to the resentment felt against the United States by the republics to the South, they are not new nor by any means the most important causes for distrust. Few houses in this country who have entered the South American export trade, have given it the serious attention and study that are required to compete with the Europeans already in that business. Even such important details as packing and dates of delivery, styles and patterns, terms of credit, etc., have been slighted and neglected. In some export houses in New York even the proper amount of postage was not affixed to letters addressed to South American countries. Many circular letters and sample books are printed in English, instead of being translated into Spanish or Portuguese.
But these are the minor faults of ignorance and carelessness, that prick the patience of the South American business man, who tries to trade with the United States. The great-
est impediment to thorough understanding and friendship between North and South America is the color discrimination practiced in the United States, which many of its citizens take with them abroad. So thorough an investigator of economics as Roger M. Babson pointed out this fact in his study of opportunities for South American trade made a few years ago.
The National Urban League, with its widespread organization and efficient machinery, can be depended upon to lead the way in solving this phase of the situation. The migrants are proving themselves efficient in the field of labor. They should be equally valuable material in the making of good citizens and good church members.

So thorough an investigator of economics as Roger M. Babson pointed out this fact in his study of opportunities for South American trade made a few years ago.
Then the political aggressions of the United States against such Latin-American governments as Haiti and San Domingo, and in Central America, were not calculated to allay the fears of South American statesmen and patriots. They beheld the subjugation of independent states because of their weakness in order to subject them to exploitation by American capital.
South America may be distrustful of the United States and the glittering generalities extended under the banner of Pan-Americanism and the Monroe Doctrine, but it is not because of such minor causes as Dr. Zeballos voiced. It is because of the endeavor to carry the color line abroad and to exploit weaker nations under the guise of a protectorate.
ABSORBING THE MIGRANTS
One of the most important factors bearing upon the continued migration of Negroes from the South has been the question of the ability and the readiness of Northern industry to absorb these workers. Official confirmation of the belief that this class of labor was finding its place as a necessary element in the industries of the North has been furnished by the results of an investigation made by Philip T. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation of the Department of Labor. Mr. Brown found that, these newcomers from the South are being easily absorbed into Northern industry. They are not only filling jobs as common laborers, but are finding places as skilled workmen, according to this investigator. He said:
Results accruing from a careful analysis of payroll statistics of 273 employers of Negro labor in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma and Wisconsin indicated that the South is not only giving up a great mass of unskilled workers but that a remarkable number of skilled hands are finding employment. When it is remembered that aside from the iron and steel industry of Alabama the chief pursuits of Negro workers of the South are agricultural in nature it is a rather remarkable transition by which this type of worker adjusts himself to the production of automobiles, glass, glass, textiles, cement and many other products more characteristic of the North than elsewhere.
The indications are that the Negro worker is getting back to the old trades that he mastered in the days of slavery. For many years after the Civil War the blacksmiths, carpenters, firemenms and machinists of the South are colored men. When the whites of the South were forced to go to work to earn a living, they gradually took over these better paid occupations and crowded out the Negro worker, so far as possible. With the increased demand for skilled labor in the North, due to restriction of foreign immigration, the Negro is finding his opportunity to regain a standing in these skilled occupations.
The results of Mr. Brown's investigation are encouraging, so far as the practicability of the absorption of the Southern migrants into Northern industry is concerned. There remains the equally important question of the absorption of these newcomers into the civic and social life of the communities where they are employed. The adjustment of this phase of the migration movement demands the active interest and participation of the race itself, both as individuals and through the churches and welfare organizations.
The National Urban League, with its widespread organization and efficient machinery, can be depended upon to lead the way in solving this phase of the situation. The migrants are proving themselves efficient in the field of labor. They should be equally valuable material in the making of good citizens and good church members.
COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS
Now, it is announced that the notorious Vardaman is doing a "fadeaway" in Mississippi politics, while John Sharp Williams, the Senatorial merpandrew, has retired to his plantation. But Governor Bilbo of unsavory associations still remains on the scene, so no great improvement is to be expected.
Michigan has a hard fisted sheriff who defied a mob of several hundred men, who menaced the county jail at St. Joseph and sought to take two Negroes from his custody. According to the Detroit Independent, one of the mob sustained an injured jaw when struck by the sheriff during a fight preceding his arrest. The sheriff, in answer to the demand for his prisoners, established a deadline and arrested the first member of the mob who crossed it. A model sheriff, but hardfisted.
In noting the house warming of an autonobile sales agency, said to be "the first and only one in Kansas City within our group and possibly the only one so housed within the United States," the Kansas City Call said:
There is lots of room at the top in many lines. Success for Negroes is not confined to the usual business, barber shops, restaurants, tailor shops and pool rooms. We can sell food, we can sell clothes, we can do anything! But we must first think we can. The men among us who go ahead and pioneer, opening up new fields of endeavor, serve as far more than they can profit themselves, no matter how much money they make. So long as we limit ourselves by our fears, we must remain little stunted slaves, lashed to the wheel of habit, where we could be free. Every pioneer, worker or business man is entitled to our great goodwill and interest, because in him we can see our own great dream realized. He is the living embodiment of our dreams and we are good men.
up to a certain point, but that our child brain cannot bear up under a man's responsibility.
That is heartening counsel based on logic and common sense. Diversity in occupations and business enterprises are essential to building up the commercial status of the race. The successful business man must learn his trade and build up from the ground floor.
In its summary of "Some Things the White Folks Ought to Know About the Georgia Legislature," the Atlanta Independent cited the following among other specifications:
1. Do the white folks really know how little the state does for the education of its black people?
2. Do the white folks know that the appropriation bill now pending before the General Assembly carries only $25,000 for the higher education of the Negro, including his industrial, mechanical and agricultural equipment?
3. Do the white folks know that the same bill carries $82,000 for the higher education of the white youths of the state?
4. Do the white folks know that the federal government gives to the state annually $282,714.26 from the Smith-Lever Funds and that the state matches that fund $100,000 annually, bringing the total up to $382,714.26 for the agricultural education of all the people, and that all of it is spent for, white education and not a cent for black education?
5. Do the white folks know this is mean, miserly, unchristian and violative of the sacred trust by which the state obtains this money from the federal government?
There should be a sufficient sense of justice and square dealing among the white people of Georgia to realize the injustice of this unequal apportionment of funds for educational purposes. Think of the aid obtained from the Federal government being applied to help whites only to become better farmers. And then Georgia wonders when Negroes migrate.
The recent action of an Indiana State bank in locating on Indiana avenue and employing Negro sellers was regarded by the Indianapolis Freeman as an evidence that the race is advancing. It said:
The employment of Negro tellers in this institution evinces great confidence the white man has placed in Negro intelligence and humor. It imposes upon the young people selected responsibilities the weight of which cannot be over estimated. They must justify this confidence. They must not forget that the Negro race in this city can be helped or hindered by their conduct.
It gives whoever is so fortunate to be in its employ a chance to learn some of the intricacies of modern banking Many of the failures that have befallen financial ventures among Negroes have not been due to dishonesty. They have been due to ignorance of modern business and administrative methods. Our young people employed by this bank will put themselves in a position to be of great service to their race by constantly and assistively applying themselves to this business. We warn them that they cannot earn a great deal in a month or even a year. It takes a long time to learn the technique of any calling.
Once upon a time the only white men who established business among Negroes were proprietors of saloons, pool rooms and groceries. Then it was thought that the height of our ambition was eat, drink and be merry. It is different now, thank God! Those days are gone forever.
The significance of this action is based on the fact that the status of the race has risen as a financial factor. The employers of this institution will have an opportunity of learning the rudiments of the banking business, so that they may be qualified in the future to start a bank of their own.
Under the heading of "Rutts in the Clouds," the Rev. I. V. Bryant had an article in the *Town City Messenger of Parkersburg, W. Va.* treating upon certain developments affecting the American Negro: Among other things he said:
The first rift visible is the disposition upon the part of the better thinking element of the white people to withdraw from that element of their own race who seem to be bent on crushing the race and their vehement denial of this class in question belonging to the better thinking element of their race as voiced not many months ago by the Louisville Counter and the Atlanta Constitution. The next rift visible is the advice of President Harding in his Birmingham speech, when he declared that the Negro has rights in this country that must be respected, and unless our democracy is a lie, all must stand for this equality. He advised the Negro in the South to break up his political crystallization, cease to be clannish, and vote his sentiments regardless of party or party affiliations. Another rift may be seen by closely observing the facts in the case we may discover that nearly one hundred per cent, of the men who have so bitterly opposed the rights of the Negro do not and never did belong to the aristocracy. Trace their biography one by one, and trace their ancestry, and you will never trace them higher than the oversees during antebellum days. Hence it invariably occurs that some one will refuse to sit in the same seat with a respectable Negro, while a wealthy banker, a prominent lawyer, a criminal or circuit judge, a congressman, or a senator will take the same seat and enter into a friendly conversation. This is a prominent rift and is becoming very noticeable. But the most prominent and, therefore, the most noticeable rift, is the wholesale exodus of the Negro from the South. This is the worst blow that has ever struck that section of the country.
All these may be taken as indications that the white South is preparing for a division along the lines of right and justice.
"Worse than Lynching" is the term applied to the insidious race prejudice that runs through the so called American democracy by the Philadelphia Tribunals. It continued:
"A race of people can endure spasmodic or even continual mob violence better than the dimest race prejudice that runs through our entire American
democracy. A Negro woman medical student is as efficient as her white classmates. She is refused an internship in the college hospital. Another woman is barred from going to France to study art. In every northern or western college where the best blood of the nation is congregated the things Negro students endure in order to obtain an education are sufficient to stunt the growth of any people. There are colleges maintained by the National Government for training officers for the army and navy which a Negro cannot enter. A Negro may not join the United States Marine Corps. He may be a flunky in the navy. Everywhere in this land of ours are glaring signs in burning letters which may say to every man of color, "regardless of how well trained you are, it matters not what your qualifications are, you may not enter here." These conditions, which the supposedly good citizen will wink at, makes of the American nation a nation of hypocrites and creates a condition which is worse than the raving mobs that run down their victims with gun and fire.
Ample justification can be found for this bitter, arraignment of the all-mer vading spirit of colo, and caste prejudice, which dishonors the national pretensions of liberty and opportunity. The country needs to be purged of this evil spirit.
Discussing the growth of the undertaking business among the race, the Dallas Express recently said:
Undertakers are increasing to an alarming degree among Negroes but statistics show that the Negro mortality rate is on the decrease among these people; 17 per 1,000 are the figures recently given out by the Interior Department. This is declared to be 70 per cent above the white mortality rate. The cause assigned by the Department of the Interior for this situation is the lack of a sufficient number of Negro physicians to meet the exigencies of sickness among the Negroes. Too few Negro physicians may be responsible for the high Negro death rate in a small degree and in very limited localities. But it is rather true that a high death rate is attributable to unsanitary homes, crowding in houses and lack of knowledge of how to keep well. Undertakers naturally are attracted by the lure of profit. Who can blame them?
There need be no alarm over the increase in the number of undertakers, so long as the death rate is decreasing. It merely shows that a large part of the business formerly done by white men has passed into the hands of the race. Better living conditions and the diffusion of hygienic knowledge will cut the death rate. The surplus undertakers can then turn their hands to building homes for the living.
Private Executioners of the Law
(From New York Times)
The Times publishes dispatches from several states, including Ohio, representing the authorities as accused to action by the spread of peculiar types of lawlessness. From many places repaired in of citizens of all nations, taken out of their homes and furnished in man-made materials, there is a small peel of their lives. There was no direct connection of these outrages with the Ku Klux Klan, but the methods practiced were suspicious like those of that highly patriotic organization. The main point of interest, however, is that Governors and Sheriffs have been stirred to unusual activity by theses sporadic but recurring outbreaks. Gov. Walker of Georgia threatens to declare martial law in Bibb County if conditions do not improve, and asserts his intention, in any case, to employ the full power of the Executive to enforce the law.
It would be needless, and perhaps unfair, to point out that these whippings and deportations of white men have stirred Southern Governors more than have the lynchings of Negroes. The two things go well together. They have a common root in the impulse of individuals to take the law into their own hands. Long ago it was predicted that unchecked execution of vengeance upon colored men would inevitably go further and affect the attitude of whole communities toward law enforcement in general. If it is conceded to be tolerable to take a Negro out of a jail and hang him, it will not be long before it is considered the right thing to lash a white offender and drive him out of the county or out of the State. There is no escape from all sorts of extremes and dangers the moment you teach people that it is proper for them to execute the law—in the sense of using physical violence against men and women who have made themselves disliked or dreaded—instead of leaving the duty with the public authorities. So far as the plain speaking and resolve action of the Governors tend to call people back to their sense, and to remind them in a seem way that they must not usurp the functions of the duly appointed officers of justice, their course must be warmly commended. Too many Americans appear today to require the sharpest kind of notification that it is a crime for them to set them up as prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner.
The Negro North.
The article in last Friday's Herald, touching the interests of the colored race and the desire to form local committees in the various communities of the state composed of both white and colored citizens, looking toward increasing understanding of and harmony with the aims and needs of the Negro people, leads us to consider the whole question of the unusual exodus from the South northward which has been taking place these recent years.
In the first six months of 1923 it is estimated that one hundred thousand Negroes migrated from the South, in some instances entire communities quitting their homes in an exodus north.
This movement does not equal a similar migratory movement, which took place in 1916-1917, which had in part more of the group psychology, the hysteria, which involved whole streets, whole congregations led by their pastors, and affected about four hundred thousand colored people who came north, many locating as units in the important industrial centers. The report of the National Industrial Conference Board, says very in-
been along vertical lines, Negroes from Georgia and the Carolinas diving North to the Atlantic seaboard states and New England; Negroes from Alabama and Mississippi and Texas are moving northward in the Middle Western States and Negroes from Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas finding new homes in the states further West. The present year's movement has been smallled and more deliberate it is said that the Southern Negro is both pushed and pulled from its rooted place in the South.
He does not want to leave the South but the low wages on the farm are housing conditions, bad working conditions on plantations managed by overseers in the absence of lack of educational facilities, poor commodations for Negroes when taking, inequality in the enforcement of the laws, the contract labor law (repeal of which is asked) and violence, all these causes ply from his halmer home to the more frigid North, from which he pull of better wages, better wages and greater profits.
The South is waking up in anger which threatens, here, in imminentishing of so much labor from farms and cotton fields and factories.
The Georgia Legislature, in an effort to check the migration of labor has introduced a bill making it liony for any person or someone licit labor in Georgia for other states under punishment of a prison not less than three years or more seven.
Alabama has introduced a bill
her House of Representatives long
recruiting agents $5,000 for every
county in which they operate.
Moreover, it is doubtless of similar
significance that one of the clergy
acts of the Senate Judiciary Committee
at Washington was to render
variably the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill
which permits the Federal Government to assuice prosecution of burglaries when states fail or neglect to prosecute a measure which has been seemingly opposed heretofore by the Southern Senators on the ground of States' Rights.
The revival of the Kai Klien Kai and the number of unpunished braving bees in the South has spread further to the colored race, who from the helplessness of slavery are striving upward, with all these racial variations and assimilations that become a man, though they are still children in power to achieve.
Yet we would do well to appreciate that since the year 1866 the number of Negroes owning their own homes in the United States has increased from 12,000 to 650,000. In 1866 (the year following the close of the Civil War) 290,000 farms were being operated by Negroes, while today that race and tills approximately 1,000,000 farms. And in this same period the number of business institutions conducted by Negroes has increased from 2,000.
By all and all, of the Negroes we must to stay. Their flux has brought us alone very different problems, which we must meet at communities. The first to be concerned is the relation of the white Negro population, which becomes the item only as we make it more by their B is a class created by political demographics. What our colored citizens want from us, we take it, is friendliness, a great understanding and a fair choice to live and work and thrive among them. They do not want, we feel, either sympathy or patronage. They are human beings like ourselves and like ourselves, seek to work and lives successfully under the conditions.
They are valuable assets to our triumph, a kindly people, capable of work and do their part. They are problems of their own which we us to appreciate from their self. We are asking those who are interested in the harmonizing of the race to a joint committee to study with such problems as may rise. It seems to us that there is not much use studying the Negro race in church Home Missionary societies has been done this year if it does not create an interest in the members that race living right among us in home communities. The time has gone by for Christianity. It must work in living channels if it is to live

I met facing a crowd at one of the Lenox museum corners, the reporter found a young colored man standing near the crib, a crowd, male and female, surrounding him. In front of him stood a tripod, supporting a cylinder some two inches in circumference and about three

or ten inches in depth, open at the top, but covered with a dark cloth. The man held in his hand a pad similar to the ordinary scratch pad on which the business man jots down his memos or the school child works his problems. For the sum of five or ten cents, the gullible onlooker is permitted to write his or her initials across the top of a sheet, which is then detached from the pad, and another victim besought to buy a sheet.
After a sufficient number have been bought, the operator rolls the sheets together and thrusts the roll into the cylinder, letting them stay in there for a few seconds. The cylinder evidently contains some kind of a liquid chemical, and the sheets are evidently prepared beforehand with some sort of message written in invisible ink that becomes visible when subjected to the chemical action of the liquid. And the dupes, as will earnest intent application he 'myself' is to the senior of the purposeful message.
It is becoming more and more a common sight to see in the windows of drug stores in Harlem piles of roots of various sorts, labelled as being this or that sort of potential medicant, and the display usually results in an increase of business for the enterprising merchant.
22nd BIENNIAL SLSSION OF
SUPREME LODGE, KNIGHTS OF
PYTHIAS. HELD IN NEW YORK
(Continued from First Page)
Sunday afternoon, August 19, at 3 p.m., at Abyssinian Baptist Church, By the Rev. N. C. Nix of Orangeburg, S. C., the supreme chaplain.
The business sessions opened Tuesday morning, the Supreme Lodge holding its sessions at Rush Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, 58 West 138th street.
The Supreme Court of Calanthe, with Supreme Worthy Counselor E. C. Tidrington of Evansville, Ind., presiding, opened at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, 153 West 136th street.
The Supreme Temple, D. O. K. O. was set up at Abyssinian Baptist Church, 132 West 138th street, and the Uniform Rank camp was pitched on the Boston Road. The Bronx, near Hayside avenue.
Ample arrangements were made to providing recreation and amusement for the visitors. A maritime dance was held Tuesday afternoon at the 30th Regiment armory, 15th street and Seventh avenue, and the same evening at 8:30 a mardi gras parade was given at the Renaissance Casino in connection with a concert and reception. On Wednesday evening, a competitive military drill was held at New Star Casino 10th street and Lexington avenue and Thursday evening a reception in honor of the Supreme Lodge and Supreme Court was tendered the visitors at the 2nd Regiment armory, 16th street and Broadway. Th ching street parade was held Friday morning at 11 o'clock, and at 4 p.m., there was a steamer excursion up the Hudson River on board the ss. Grand Republic.

to accept it. Later, said he, colored taxi owners and others protested because of the Mogul Co.'s attitude toward colored chauffeurs, so the committee did not finally consummate the contract. In the meantime, the taxi company wrote the committee, declaring that since the contract had not been formally signed, the Mogul cabs would serve the delegates at more rates, which is what every other taxi cab in the city will do.
Mr. Quarles said that after this letter was received the committee put the Mogul on the same base on every other cab.
This treatment is not warm but for the reported section of A tragedy, said to have been growing a bloody following an unspecified attack.

In fact, one of the drivers of another kind of taxi, who maintains a regular stand at the Pennsylvania station, declared that this woman made a strong but ineffective effort to have the regular cabs move out of their accustomed station so the Mogul cabs could take on the passengers she was actively and energetically soliciting and directing to the "official" cars for the Pythians.

Company Gets Advertising
With regard to the placing of a full page advertisement, showing the Mogal as the "Official Cabs for the Supreme Lodge and Military Encampment." Sir Quarles stated that the letter from the Mogul Checker Co. with regard to abreating the proposed contract was received after the program had gone to the binder, and so the advertisement could not be changed.
The result does not please the colored citizens of Harlem who are acquainted with the taxi situation. There are companies, but "checker" and others, which give to every man an equal opportunity to make a living, and the people think that it is most unfortunate that the Python committee could not have made arrangements to recognize some or all of these companies in practice.
Washington, D.C.-President Calvin Coolidge received a delegation of colored doctors on Thursday August 16, consisting of Drs M. O Dumas of the District of Columbia; J C Plummer of North Carolina; Geo E Cannon, and W G Alexander of New Jersey, all representing the National Medical Association, who explained to the President that the colored people of this country wanted for the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., a colored personnel. They explained that a list of competent physicians had been handed Director Hines and that these gentlemen were all willing to sacrifice their practices in order to give service to the loyal colored veterans who risked their lives and impaired their health in service of this country. They also reminded the President of the promise made by the late President Harding with respect to a colored personnel.

THE material contrast between the structures with which he (Bosser T. W. Washington) began and the present great, ample and commodious plan is continually surprising to be enough for one man to bring about. But Washington's work is being doing as this is, it is but an important measure by Washington's work and education and annual turning out of two or three hundred young men and women to themselves and their families is of source a most commendable and useful but that was only one part of what he did and sought to do. His purpose is to teach the Yankees the light of the home, but ever living truths which must form the real essence of his race, or for any race—WILLIAMS HOWARD TAFT, Chief Justice United States supreme Court.

The doctors argued that since the hospital was built exclusively for Negro soldiers, the segregation should be carried to its logical conclusion and Negro doctors put in complete charge.
President Coolidge gave the colored physicians a cordial reception and assured them that he would give the matter his most serious consideration.
The executive board, Dr. Cannon, chairman, will make a full report on the hospital situation to the annual convention of the N. M. A. in St. Louis on August 28.

THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS
Big Battle Cannot Be Staged Here Until After 1924 Democratic National Convention, In Apparently Well Substantiated Rumor—Connecticut Wants Fight.
Governor Smith Denies That He Has Put a Ban On Dempsey-Wills Bout
Governor Alfred E. Smith denies that he has forbidden the Dempsey-Wills bout in New York State and on Tuesday, August 21, issued the following statement:
"I have not mixed up in boxing in any way. I have no authority over boxing. I know nothing about boxing. The law expressly states that the direction and supervision of boxing in this state is under complete jurisdiction of the State Commission. In no way have I attempted to advise or interfere with boxing matters. I have left the direction of the sport solely in the hands of those delegated under the law to supervise and direct it.
"The Dempsey-Wills match, the same as all other matches, the same as all other things pertaining to the sport of boxing is up to the board in whom the power is delegated under the law."
The recent agitation for a Dempsey-Wills fight in New York this fall has brought to light the fact that Governor Alfred E. Smith has tabooed the bout in this state until after the 1924 Democratic National Convention, which will probably be held in this city.
Despite pressure from both sporting and political sources urging him to interfere with the matching of Dempsey and Wills in New York, Governor Smith has decided that the votes of the presidential delegates from the South mean more to him than the Dempsey-Wills match means to New York boxing fans, and those who are seeking to stage this bout here have been warned not to attempt it.
In the meantime the Connecticut promoters have made some alluring offers to Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey, and if he has any intention of allowing the champion to face Wills this year he will accept the Connecticut offer. The information of the attitude of Governor Smith has caused the formation of a Connecticut Syndicate, headed by Thos. F. Reilly of Stamford, and several influential politicians and business men of the Nutmeg State.
A local colored Tammany politician verified the information about Governor Smith's attitude and declared:

Harrington and Green are at Loew's.
The Presidential Rev
"Your information is absolutely correct, I regret to say. Although the Governor has been shown that his refusal to permit Mr. Dempsey and Mr. Wills to engage in their sporting contests here will certainly cost the Democratic party in New York two Assembly districts, and probably three, the Governor is so overcome with his Presidential aspirations that he is willing to turn down some of the men who made him politically here in order to curry favor with certain Lily White Presidential delegates from the South.
"The votes of New York made Al Smith. The voters of New York, both white and black want to see a straight, mainly contest between Mr. Dempsey and Mr. Wills. Now, the Governor turns down these voters to satisfy his own personal ambitions regarding getting the Presidential nomination. He thinks more of the narrow-backed Southern delegates who are tied heart and soul with Oscar Underwood than he does the men who have worked shoulder to shoulder with him here and twice helped to put him in the Governor's chair.
"It is all right for Governor Smith to declare there is no color line here. It is all right to point to the mixed bouts between whites and lacks of inferior calibre to prove there is no color line in sport here. The fact remains that the Governor will not permit the only mixed bout of importance there is any wide demand to see the contest between Mr. Dempsey and Mr. Will.
"Last week a final attempt was made to induce the Governor not to put the burs down on a Dempsey-Will meeting. The Governor had no changed his views one whit from the attitude he took several weeks ago, when we first found out how the wind was blowing, and sounded him out. Before the last election he was strong for a Dempsey-Will contest. His views changed when his Presidential aspirations began to get the better of him.
"Putting the Dempsey-Wills contest off until after next year's convention is putting it off for good as far as New York is concerned. Twice the match has been made red hot here and then allowed to cool. It can't be heated again. As far as New York goes the public doesn't want to wait until both Dempsey and Wills grow gray beards and have to tenter the ring on cratches. It is now or never. New York has lost the great contest. Al Smith has barred the gates.
"In barring the gates here to Dempsey and Wills he has thrown three Assembly districts to the Republicans in the hopes that the South will desert Oscar Underwood and line up behind his banner. Unless I am mistaken in my understanding of sentiment in the South, however Governor Smith's barring of Moss, Dempsey and Wills will prove to be as bad politic as it is bad court."
"To putting his foot down on the match Governor Smith is not only rejoice Mr. Willis's separate deal, and the milestone of Los Angeles square deal. The Governor permits a tie between Mr. Dempsey and this Deputy, law Argentina base, with only a year's experience, senior judges in two of the most evenly matched bases in sporting history. With one punch the Governor knocks the square deal out of sport."
"Although it is practically certain that a Dempsey-Willis contest is off as far as New York is concerned, there still is a possibility that the pair will meet this year. Unless Thomas F. Reilly, the Stanford promoter, is spooled, he will be able to offer Dempsey more alluring terms than could be hoped for in New York."

Paddy Mullins, manager for Harry Wills, Negro heavyweight champion, has broke his long silence and sent out the following communication to the press of the country:
After waiting patiently for several years for Jack Dempsey, the world's champion, to give Harry Wills, my star performed a chance at his title, without, success, exhausting every means to try and get a square deal for my colored warrior, abiding by the laws of the State Athletic Commission functioning under the Walker Boxing Law, I hereby lay claim to Dempsey's title for my protege. Wills is ready to defend the world's heavyweight championhip against 'all comers, Dempsey, Firpo or anyone else. There will be no bans on any particular fighter.
I have thought the matter over very carefully for some time before claiming the world's heavyweight championship for Wills and have done so only after realizing that we have been the victims of a huge hoax have been buffeted around and stalled off for several years, so that Dempsey could meanwhile conveniently battle solft marks. The end of our patience has been reached and we believe the fair-minded, sport-loving public will back us in our claim.
What must a man do to get a match with Dempsey? First, they asked Wills to lick Fred Fulton. He did that job in a couple of rounds. Then they foisted Bill Tate and other colored warriors on my man, attempting to belittle his fighting ability but without success. Wills proved to be their masters. Finally after clearing all obstacles, did he get the chance he deserved with Dempsey? No!
More than year ago we challenged Dempsey by placing a $2,500 forfeit with the State Athletic Commission, according to law. The board ruled that Wills was the logical contender for a watch for the world's title. Articles were then and there signed, waiting only for a promoter to appear. Simon Flaherty, of the Queensboro Stadium, announced months back and recently that he stood ready to pull off the real "battle of the century" but still nothing doing on the part of Jack Kearns and his title holder.
Now they are trying to put over a Luis Firpo match with Dempsey, a bout that all fair minded sports know to be the biggest joke ever perpetrated on a sport-loving publicist. It will be even worse than the fiasco pulled, off many years ago between Tommy Burans and Bail Squires of Australia which failed to go a round. Wills can take Firpo in one punch and everyone knows it so what chance has the Argentine lad the greatest "built-up" fighter in the world against Dempsey? Echo, none.
Lafayette Presents Fine
Sunday Concert Aug. 19
An unusually good vaudeville program was presented by the management of the Lafayette Theatre on Sunday, August 19. The bill was headed by the Chinese Doll Revue, an excellent singing and dancing act with four good looking Chinese girls. Porter and Little Jeff, two colored comedians who were billed as "Long and Short," received the biggest applause and have a good comedy and dancing act. Ernest Carr and company added classical music to the program, and several opera numbers were sung by a beautiful prima donna of the Spanish type. Other acts on the program were Anderson and Goins, Jenkins and Jenkins and Sam Williams. Messrs. Abe and Sol Coleman are endeavoring to make their Sunday concerts the best up town, and will present the leading race actors and other talent on Sundays, with a feature picture of proved merit.
"Children of Jazz" at The Lincoln Theatre
Embracing in its story many situations of dramatic power and thrill, "Children of Jazz," a new Paramount picture featuring Theodore Kosloff, Ricardo Cortex, Robert Cain and Eileen Percy, will be the feature attraction at the Lincoln Theatre this week.
This story deals with the jazz existence of Babs Weston, daughter of a financier, who becomes engaged to three men simultaneously. Richard Forestall, son of a man who maintains the social ideals and customs, of the folk of the 1830s, is devoted to her, but when he hears of her escapades, he denounces and quits her.
Subsequently, Babe is induced to take a trip in a hydroplane with two of her admirers and the machine is wrecked in a storm off an island. The quartet is rescued with difficulty and they find Forestall on the island with his father and servants. Forestall is skipper of a schooner, the crew of which mutinies and many dramatic scenes follow. It is through these that the jazz-loving men and women find themselves, the climax of the picture being exceptionally strong and filled with nostery.
Cecil Cooke New Junior 440-Yard Champion
Ceril Cooke, former star track athlete for DeWitt Clinton High School, became the metropolitan junior 440 yard champion at Lewisohn Stadium (on Sunday, August 19, Cooke won this race in the best time that has been made in the past five years—51 3-5 seconds. Three times during the race he was threatened by Clarence Sherrman, a champion of the Robert Gagnon A. A., but each time he fought all the advances of Sherrman and finished five yards in the final. The most was participated in by a large number of Marion athletes; but with the encounters of Cooke and Sherrman, no others joined.
Lincolns and Royal Giants Divide Double Header Last Sunday at Protectory Oval
Hubbard an Enigma to Lincoln's in First Game, the Royals Winning 5 to 1—In the Second, Sam Streeter Held Brooklynites to 3 Hits, and No Scoring.
The Lincoln and Royal Giants split a double header before 8,000 fans at Catholic Protectory Oval on Sunday, August 19. The first game was won by the Royals by a score of 6-1, when Jees Hubbard held the Lincolnns scoreless for eight innings. The Lincolnns won the last game, 5-0, when Sam Streeter shut out the Brooklynites, allowing only three hite.
In the first game the score was nothing to nothing up to the sixth inning when Perry made an error and caused a score. Another error by Scales in the seventh caused two more scores. Scales, formerly with the St. Louis team, was playing his first game with the Lincolnns. Marcell and Singer were out of the line-up because of illness. The Lincolnns were unable to connect with Hubbard's fast underhand balls until the last inning when he lightened up and allowed one run.
Hildale Again Win From The Bacharach Giants

The tables were turned in the second game, as Streeter was at his best. Flournoy for the Royals was knocked out early in the game and Dick Redding, who took his place, also proved easy for the New York team. "Highpocket" Hudseth did the best work at bat for the Lincoln, getting a triple and two singles out of four times at bat in the last game.

In baleball often times, a good twirler will have the measure of the opposing club by just walking into the box and the other side is beat. Such seemed to be the case with "Rats" Henderson, the star finger of the Bacharach Giants of Atlantic City, against the Hilldale club. But Saturday's game dispelled all that illusion, as the sluggers of the Clan of Bolden simply hit "Rats" so hard that they caused his retirement in the sixth inning, also winning the game by the score of 6-4. This is the third time this week that "Rats" was forced to take the bitter dose of defeat, as he lost Wednesday and Thursday also.

Danny Edwards Is Knocked Out in 14th by Goldstein
Fighting two fights in one week provided too much for Danny Edwards, the colored bantamweight, as his second encounter of the week—with Abe Goldstein at the Queensboro Stadium on Tuesday night, August 14—resulted in a knockout for Goldstein in the fourteenth round of a scheduled fifteen round bout.
Edwards, fighting in a somewhat listless fashion, put up a poor defense and was beaten in every round. After the twelfth round only his tenness kept him in the thirteenth the colored fighter was knocked down but did not take the count and again in the fourteenth he was knocked down, but before the referee could begin, counting his second threw in the towel.
The bout was witnessed by a crowd of 7,000 and Edwards was the favorite when he entered the ring. He appeared very much off form and was soon at the mercy of his opponent. His weight was 117 1-4 pounds and that of Goldstein was 1151$.

Harry Kroha Tops Easy For Tiger Flowers
Havana, Cuba--The Cuban Boxing Commission ruled on August 7 that Harry Krohn, who was scheduled to box Tiger Flowers, the colored middle-weight of Atlanta, Ga., here on August 1), was not a fit opponent for Flowers and refused to allow the match to go off. Flowers, through his manager, Walk Miller, is trying to get a return bout with Panama Joe Gans as the semifinal of the Dempsey-Pirot bout at the Polo Grounds, New York City, in September. In a previous encounter with Gans, Flowers was the winner on points. Since that time Gans has refused several offers for a return bout.

Alfred Wright pastor of the Second Baptist Church officiated. Rev. Wright and two others, occupants of a Chevrolet van, were endangered when crossing Lincoln Highway from Union street to enter the Rahway Cemetery when another machine driver, by Tony Sandlas of Princeton, N.J., crashed broadside into the funeral coach in attempting to cut through the procession. The Wright machine was badly damaged but no one was injured, other than receiving a violent shaking up by the force of the collision. Sandlas told the police who investigated that he did not know the line of cars was a funeral procession. He tried to drive between the hearse and the car in which the minister was driving. When the Princeton man agreed to pay for the damages, Rev. Wright refused to press any complaint and motorcycle officers, C. J. Crowley and Frank Rember, who investigated, allowed Sandlas to proceed in the direction of New Brunswick. The funeral procession went on into the cemetery to hold the interrupted services.

Iasac H., Nutter to Face
Disbarment Proceedings
At Atlantic City, Sept. 6
Miami City, N. J. - The New Jersey State Bar Examiners have set September 4 for the hearing of disbarment proceedings brought against Counselor Jose H. Nutter, prominent political and race leader. The charges have not been made public but it is alleged that they contain alleged misrepresentation made by Nutter to County Judge Wem. H. Sumratters when he appeared before the court and requested reduction of bail bonds in the cases of Robert Helmholtz and Albert Sain, who had been charged with an attempt to swindle William Wingar out of $40,000 in a fake horse racing game.
It is alienate that Nutter went on the sentiments, assuring the court they would appear when needed. They called to appear when the case was called and Judge Snatts ensured that court, charging with misrepresentation the fact, the bonds were ordered and the real estate given by Nutter as security was reused and sold to the sheriff, but brought less than half the amount of the two bonds. Nutter promised to make up the difference but it is alleged he has failed to do so. Prosecutor Louis Repetito has been assigned by the Superior Court to press the charges and Nutter is to be defended by County Solicitor Enoch Higbear, State Senator, Encorp L. Richards and Murray James Lightfoot.
Refused to Accept Jim Crow Service in Cafe at Inlet, Atlantic City, N. J.
---
Miami City, N. J.—A party of men from New York referred to accept segregated accommodations in Hyman's Nestle Restaurant at the Inlet, and invited the proprietor and managers to trust them without restrictions of any kind.
The party was composed of Drs. U. General Vincent and Paul Collins and Police Officer Samuel J. Battle, all of New York City, and Judge J. H. E. Seward of Newark, N. J.
They were guests at Wright's Hotel and drew down to the Inlet in Dr. Vincent's inn. Entering the restaurant within a waiter attempted to escort them to the rear of the dining room. The men would not follow and scaled premises in a more desirable location. The waiter, evidently under instruction from the management, ignored their private until Judge Scotland called the manager and threatened criminal arrest of all action against the proprietors of their legal agent under the amended and Rules Act.
The party was served then with satisfactory courtesy, contrary to the expectation of the questionable looking customers who apparently, from past experience, looked for a different ending. He alleged that Hyman's has the reputation of either keeping colored patrons or adopting or placing them in understaffed parts of the pavilion.

Colored People Given Opportunity to Invest In Westchester Realty
Harlemites will be given the rare opportunity to purchase high class building lots in Westchester County at an early date. For years Westchester County has been the exclusive residential section for wealthy New Yorkers and Jews. Poor white people and Negroes have been the property in any section of this county. In recent years Jews and other nationalities have gained a foothold in several sections and a company has recently been formed which will soon offer high class building lots to colored people in Harlem. The lots are located in a beautiful section of Yankers, opposite Nepperman Heights, within five minutes of Nepperman Heights. The Putnam Division of the New York Central Railroad.
The land is well elevated and is being improved with streets, water and gas. The new company is giving prospective purchasers the opportunity to inspect this property by conducting a monster free survey and by providing Automobiles, for this outing will leave the First Emmanuel Church, 105 West 130th street, at 10:30 in the morning. The trip will be up the Grand Concourse to Bronxville, via Bronx River Parkway and Sprain Ridge Park. In addition, the property will be made by prominent speakers and good made will be furnished by the New Amsterdam Musical Association.

Atty. Lavelle Asks Hylan
To Name Negro Magistrate
Attorney Louis A. Lavelle, with offices at 420 Lenox avenue, has written a letter to Mayor John F. Hylan on the subject of recognition of the Negro chitery in the appointment-of city mag- itrates.
Claiming as his due the honor of having been the original champion of elective representation for colored people, Mr. Lavelle affirms that if the State Legislature had not put the sole power of magistracy appointments into the hands of the Mayor there would be at this time members of the race occupying positions as magistrates in the city courts of New York, particularly in Hebron. Councillor Lavelle urged upon Mayor Hylan the consideration that only through His Florent's appointive power is it possible now for a colored man to be elevated to the bench, declaring that the "four hundred thousand colored people in Greater New York" deserved such recognition. Paying between $15,000,000 and 20,000,000 in taxes, direct and indirect the people, argued Lavelle, are entitled to individual civil rights as has been accorded the Jewish Italian, French and other racial groups of the city's population.
Full Compliment of Colored Nurses Now on Duty—Training School a Fine Success.
As a result of the ungrjudiced publicity given to the operation of the Harlem Hospital Nurse Training School, opened last January first by the authorities of Bellevue and 'Allied Hospitals, through the columns of The Age, together with a limited advertising campaign, there are more applicants for admission to the school than can be accommodated.
At the same time, it has been possible for the Harlem Hospital authorities to secure an almost complete personal of colored graduate nurses for regular duty in the wards and various departments of the institution. The president of Harlem Hospital, Miss Jessica Vien, informed The Age that the class of probationers to be received on September 4 will overtax the available accommodations to such an extent that it will be necessary to make temporary provision for the residence requirements of a few of the graduate and postgraduate nurses now on duty in order that the young probationers may be provided for in the home.
The general superintendent of the training, schools, Miss Katherine C DeLong, whose headquarters are at Belvieu, states that the new class already numbers twenty, and that there are so many desirable applicants it has her purpose to increase the class to probably twenty-five, in order that there will not be so many disappointed. This increased number will exceed the accommodations provided in the Nurses' Residence by probably a half dozen persons, and this overflow must be provided. Miss Míriant says that it is probable, in this emergency, that more may be provided in building reserved for employees. This building is not so confidently located as the Nurses' Residence, but the toos are comfortable and in some respects more desirable than those in the regular home.
The question of securing competent and efficient colored nurses for duty in the hospital has been favorably answered, said Mha Vient, by the securing of a splendid body of women who are giving the best of service. At first, it was necessary to employ one or two whose educational requirements were not suitable to enable them to qualify as the Board of Regents' Examiners. These are being related as their services prove satisfactory, but all others accepted for employment, must be able to test this test which is a requirement of the state law. There is a long waiting list, for the first time, said the superintendent.
The services were very inspiring and helpful at the church on Sunday. In the morning Assistant Pastor, Rev William H. Hogans preached to the many assembled. His text was by faith, the walls of Jericho do after they retreated about seven. He retreated 12:30. The Sunday school opened at the usual hour, Superintendent Hogans conducted the opening exercises. At 4:30 the Literary Society convened. The program was under the auspices of the S. M. & I. Society. Mr. Ernest Ballon in charge. The program was as follow: Opening chorus by the men; Select reading; solo, Mr. W. E. Townsend; trio, Mestra Coleman, Yearwood and Ballou; solo, H. Brown recital; Anwell tenor, Queen and Ballou; Ballou, Townsend and Coleman; solo, E Ballou; reading, Mr. Coleman; remarks, Rev R. M. Bolden; closing chorus by the men.
At 8 o'clock, the service was largely attended. Albert Mansing of Gammon Theological Seminary preached. His text was "But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table." St. Luke 22:21. At the close of the sermon Prof. Powell of Alabama spoke, asking our cheerful cooperation in helping the school for poor children in Alabama. The holy communion was served at both the morning and evening service. Dinner was served during the day by the members of the Missionary Society and $4.80 was given to the church. Pastor Bolden asks the helpful cooperation of the members, not only fingertiply, but by the contribution of the services, both on Sunday and during the week a. the different meetings.
The tenth Annual Anniversary will be celebrated from September. 10 to 14. Many wonderful programs will be rendered, as the programs are under the auspices of the different auxiliaries of the church, prominent speakers, will appear on each evening. The admission is 15 cents, each night.
St. Mark's M. E. Church.
On Sunday, August 19, the church and tent-services of St. Mark's, M. E. Church were attended by unusually large congregations, during the entire day. The pastor, Dr. Robinson was the speaker at the morning service in the church and delivered a powerful sermon which will winger teng in the memory, at every individual who attended the service. Text, Genesis 38:28, Hebrew letter clause of the 13rd verse: "Father is rich"; At the tent service in the evening, Rev. W. A. Holmes of Waynesboro, (Ga.) preached a very practical and soul stirring sermon which greatly moved his heart.
Rev. Holmes is in New York visiting his sister Mrs. Josephine Fraster, (nee Holmes) who is a prominent member of St. Mark's Church, also one of our popular public school teachers.
The text of Rev. Holmes' able discourse will: Ephesians 10 chapter and 11 chapter; Themes: "To know the love and knowledge of God."

We were covering the time deposed to the best services. Able paralyz Ives addressed the meetings from far and the pastor has secured prominent registers to address the meetings during the remaining two weeks of the time services.
Last Thursday, creating Mrs. Robinson wife of the pastor made a very timely and appealing address in the course of which she reminded the members of the great obligation devolving upon them and urgently requested each one to vividly realise that St. Mark's expects that every member will do his duty in contributing his bit, towards the erection of the new church. He felt attested, and that 'Collected in good Mr. A. W. Mennon, and Mrs. Mildred Turner gave 'interesting 'talks on "Stephen the martyr".

Bethel A. M. E. Church.
The services at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Sunday, August 19, were of the usual, high order. The pastor, Dr. Mostrostrum W. Thornton, preached morning kind worship. In the morning Pastor Thornton reached a wonderful sermon, subject, "Horseman and the Footman." It was full of religious servitor.
In the evening the Pastor continued his series of sermons, taking his text from 31st chapter of Proverbs 27th and 28th verses. He used as his subject, "The women of the home, or why they are not to three parts; first, loyalty; second, industry; third, sympathy. It was an eloquent appeal to women.
During the day 13 persons -mited with the church and two infants were baptized.

PULLMAN PORTER NEWS
The average colored citizen, not being accustomed to 'extensive travel does not know, nor appreciate the amount of responsibility and intelligence required of Pullman employees, such as porters, buffet men and private care men, in the handling and care of the traveling public, that is, the portion which travels 'de luxe'
We have porters been amused, as well as provokers by soon of on friends of loose expression, remarking "Any old sort of man can be a Pullman porter". This may be true to a certain extent, just as any individual may study law, but that alone will not make him a successful practitioner.
As an example of what we mean, we'll take the case of the porter, who runs in charge. This man, as a rule, must be the possessor of all-around intelligence, because he must act as conductor and porter at the same time. There are occasions when he must assume the role of porter, yet under no circumstances, must he presume so far as to forget that he is the porter. In this dual capacity, tact of unanticipated degree is required.
Further, he must have some clerical ability. This is absolutely necessary, due to the collection of fares, most of which is collected in cash. When a patron boards the train at some point, he must be in a book, it is up to the porter to fraction off mileage, giving the correct Pullman rate and the railroad's surcharge tax, all of which must be correctly entered on his diagram.
This, in itself, proves that any old sort of person' cannot fulfill the job of Pullman porter.
We need to place the professionals on a plane with men of the professions, but when it comes to mere jobs and vocations, we don't see what
