Elks' Grand Lodge Was The Largest In Years And One Of The Most Harmonious
Opposition to J. Finley Wilson as Grand Exalted Ruler Dies Out and That Official Is Reelected by Acclamation—Geo. E. Bates Serving 14th Successive Term.
Chicago, Ill.—The twenty-fourth annual session of the Grand Lodge, Improved, Benevolent, Protective Order of Elks of the World, was held here in the Avenue Theatre, Indiana avenue and 31st street, August 26 to 31. It was the largest assemblage of Elks the Order has ever known, more than 700 duly accredited being enrolled.
These representatives came from all sections of the country, and included delegates from two lodges in Canada and one in Monrovia, Liberia, which were recently set up. Under the administration of Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson of Washington the Order has had an unparalleled increase. The past year's growth is the greatest in the grand lodge's history, the reports showing an increase of ninety lodges with 16,000 more members than

This information comes direct from Gen Frank T. Hines, Director of the U.S. Veterans' Bureau, Washington, writing to the editor of The Age in reply to a letter sent by the latter to President Colidge, urging that an enlisted personnel be placed at the hospital for Negro veterans in keeping with the promise made by President Harding before his death.
This compromise action is taken by the Veterans' Bureau, it appears, follow the protest made by Tuskegee whites, coupled with a Ku Klux Klan demonstration in the vicinity of the hospital and of Tuskegee Institute, and through the streets of the town of Tuskegee, which demonstration revealed it is alleged, that Col. R. H. Stanley, Commander at the hospital is either connected with the Klan or is an active sympathizer. This disclosure has led to the insistent demand that Col. Stanley be removed from authority at the hospital.
Indications at first led to the impression that the demand of the colored people would be compiled with, let the letter from Director Hines tells a different story. Although he implies that the retention of a white Commander is temporary, there is no indication that intention to remove Stanley, who is charged with being inimical to the least interests of the Negro.

Elks' Grand Lodge Largest In Year Of The Mos
Opposition to J. Finley Wilson Dies Out and That Official Isition—Geo. E. Bates Serving
Chicago, Ill.—The twenty-f the Grand Lodge, Improved, B der of Elks of the World, was a Theatre, Indiana avenue and 31s it was the largest assemblage of known, more than 700 duly accor These representatives came country, and included delegates ada and one in Monrovia, Libe set up. Under the administration J. Finley Wiison of Washington unparalleled increase. The past y est in the grand lodge's history, increase of ninety lodges with 16 were in the Order a year ago.
Marcus tumors and reports circulating inside through ranks of the Order in all sections of the country gave ground for apprehension, that the 1923 invasion was due to develop more in harmony than would be for the best interests of the membership, but contrary to expectations the sessions were unimply hallowed and pleasant. There was no sign of dismotion and the sessions took in the dismillance of an old-fashioned big feast.
Many distinguished visitors were presided over the sessions, including Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican National Committeeman from Georgia, Perry W. Howard of Washington, assistant United States Attorney, Edward H. Wright of Chicago, Assistant Corporation Counsel, Merrian McDermott, Gen R. R. Jackson, and a host of others.
Election Without Feature
The election of officers was devoid of incident. J. Fainley Wilson had a clean sweep as the only candidate who had developed any strength in opposition to the grand cruiser ruler was H. Adolph Hearl of New York, and he declaimed with the minute to force the issue. He withdrew from the race and then the grand cruiser impelled rules and reelected H. Wilson by acclamation. For the tenth successive year, George E. Lute of Newark was reelected.
AID ASKED FOR JAPAN EARTHQUAKE SUFFERERS
The worst earthquake in the history of that country has devastated Japan and more than 400,000 are dead in Tokyo, Yokohama and Yokosuka. It is thought that many American travelers are included in this number. It is known that the U. S. Consul Max D. Kirjosoff of Waterbury, Conn., and his wife, are among the dead, the American Embassy buildings being destroyed.
An appeal is being made for the raising of $5,000,000 to be used in purchasing food clothing, hospital supplies, and other necessities for the American Red Cross. The entire American people are asked to contribute at once to the need.
Readers of The Age can send contributions to this office and they will be acknowledged through the columns of this paper and promptly forwarded to the proper sources.
President Coolidge, Gov. Smith of New York, and other officials are cooperating in the relief movement. Money only is asked for, as the transportation of supplies from this country would take from sixty to ninety days.

News Briefs of General Interest
Two thousand Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, holding a meeting in Odd Fellow's Hall, Perth Amboy, N. J., Thursday night; August 30, were unceremoniously routed from the hall by a group of indignant citizenry, in spite of the efforts of police and fire departments and state troopers from as far as Trenton. The klansmen had posted notices of the proposed meeting in and about Perth Amboy. The police, because a similar meeting had been broken up some months ago, took extraordinary precautions to preserve order. But the citizenry broke through the police guards, and defied clubs, gas bombs and streams of water from fire hose. Numbers of the Ku Kluxers were severely handled and every doctor and pharmacist in reach was kept busy patching them up. At 2 a. m., Friday morning some 150 of the klan were beleguered in the hall, with the crowd outside vowing they would stay until the masked men came out.
President Calvin Coolidge, according to a New York World correspondent, has decided to dispense with regular meetings of the Cabinet until some occasion arises that merits a conference of department heads. The Cabinet has hitherto held its meetings on Tuesdays and Fridays, and this schedule was broken only in the period when President Wilson was confined to bed following his physical breakdown. In the meantime the President will confer as necessary with individual Secretaries.
Secretary of the interior Work has included in the appropriation estimate for 1925 the sum of $500,000 for constructing and equipping an addition to the medical and dental school at Howard University. That Howard's facilities are inadequate was shown by the fact that only fifty of 105 applicants for admission to the medical school could be accepted.

HARLEM REALTOR HAS FAITH IN HARLEM'S REAL ESTATE FUTURE
Fitzherbert Howell, Five Years at 215 W. 135th St., Anticipates Active Season.
REALTY SALES
TOTAL $150,000
Taking Over Half of First Floor Space to Secure Increased Office Facilities.
Fitzherbert Howell, realty broker, located for the past five years at 215 West 135th street, has developed one of the busiest and most active real estate brokerage businesses in Greater New York. During the past week, Mr. Howell sold seven houses, six private residences and one apartment, for a total of $150,000. Just prior to that period he had sold another parcel, carrying the total of this particular batch of sales to approximately $175,000.
In talking to The Age, Mr. Howell declared that he anticipated an active realty market during the coming fall. All of the transactions referred to above, and he, were made by Negro investors. Other large propositions are pending which are expected to be consummated in the near future and which go a long ways toward supporting Mr. Howell's optimistic opinions as to real estate activities.
As an indication of the development of Mr. Howell's business he informs The Age that he is taking over the first floor in his building—his office is at present on the second floor. One half of this first floor will be fitted up for his realty office, and he will continue to make his home on the second floor; as at present. This additional office space will make possible an increase in the number of office employees.
One of the distinct achievements in Mr. Howell's career as a Darleen realer was the opening of the territory below 125th street to race tenants. He was the first broker to sell an apartment house in the section below 125th street to a colored investor for colored tenants. And he has consistently and steadily applied his skill and experience to the acquiring of desirable and valuable properties for the use of his clientele, constantly going into new territory for that purpose.
During the years of his career, by application of the principles of integrity, honesty, fair dealing, he has built up a profitable business for himself. He has shown his faith by frequent investments on his own hook, with the result that he owns a good bit of the most valuable realty in Harlem. He owns the building in which he is located and several other of the valuable parcels on West 135th street between 7th and 8th avenues, as well as desirable properties in other sections.

Federal Attorney Hayward Consents to Release of U. N. I. A. Head Pending Appeal.
If proper security can be given to the surely company, Marcus Garvey will be permitted to breath free air for the first time in two and a half months, following action of Federal Judge Manton in fixing bail for him at $25,000, pending the result of his appeal from the sentence imposed on June 21 by Federal Judge Mack in the United States District Court.
Garvey, as President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Provisional President of Africa, and General Manager of the Black Star Steamship Co., was convicted of using mails to defraud and given five years in the Federal Prison at Leavenworth, with a fine of $1,000, the case going to trial on May 18, and being concluded June 18. He was remanded to the Tombs Prison on June 22, and immediate steps were taken to perfect an appeal. Former efforts to secure Garvey's release on bail were futile. Recently, Garvey retained George Gordon Battle as his attorney and the effort to obtain bail was removed. Federal Ju. Mack is in Europe and it was necessary for United States Attorney William Hayward to adjourn there. There was an office to grant the May Anil Judge Mack cabled his consent and Judge Manton was asked to fix the amount. The charge against Garvey was based on sale of stock in the Black Star Line, and three others were indicted with their leader, but they were acquitted. When the case went to trial on May 18, Cornelius McDougald was the attorney for Garvey, but on the second day of the trial Garvey dismissed McDougald and

Dry Agents Make Raids In Harlem Following Exposures By The Age
Arrests and Seizures Are Made in Number of Places Which Were Formerly Run as Saloons But Camouflaged Hootch Joints Were Not Molested By the Agents.
Exposures made by The Age concerning the bold and flagrant manner in which bootlegging dispensers of bootch operate in Harlem are directly responsible for the activities of three Federal prohibition agents in the Harlem section on Monday last, Labor Day. Prohibition Director R. Q. Merrick, in consequence of the information publisehd by The Age, sent Agents Reager, Hanley and Kerzman to Harlem on Monday and they raided some half dozen or more places, seizing corn whiskey and other intoxicants and arresting bartenders and owners.

It was thought that all requirements would be met and Garvey would be free on Wednesday. The appeal is to be argued before the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, probably in October when the court resumes deliberations, and as the calendar of that court is clear, it is thought that a quick decision will be reached.

clares that the colored workers make good union members and that they are taken into the unions as rapidly as they enter into the various shops of the women's wear industries.
In answer to the charge that unions in the women's wear industries would not admit colored women to membership until they became convinced that employers intended using them as strike breakers, officers of the Garment Workers declare that colored women have always been admitted to the union and that there are about fifteen hundred Negro women in the organization.
Speaking of the intended use of colored workers in labor disputes by the large employers Mr. Baroff gave out the following statement:
"The employers hope to get a large supply of cheap labor that can be more easily handled in labor disputes. Baroff said, yesterday. "They believe that if they can flood the market with cheap labor their difficulties will be solved. But I am sure we can make the Negroes good union members as quickly as the employers bring them here.
"The Negro women in the garment trade join the union as soon as they learn the aims of the organization," according to Baroff. "When they find that we are in business to protect them from exploitation, they become union members.
"I believe that there is a possibility that Negroes may displace a large number of the white workers in the garment industry, but the union will not discriminate. We will not endeavor in any way to keep the Jews now in the trade, from being displaced by Negroes.
"The Negroes are as welcome in the garment trade as anyone. We are doing our best to keep race prejudice out of the labor unions. It is unhealthy in any organization and would be fatal in labor unions. Of course, I don't believe that the employers in our business have an extensive enough organization to carry on the propaganda which is undoubtedly under way in the South. However, they are certainly benefiting from this propaganda."
Taxicab Companies Refuse To Permit To Work For Owners of their Cars

COLORED CHAUFFEURS APPEAL TO MEMBERS OF RACE AND ASK TO BE GIVEN A FAIR DEAL
Explain Manner in Which Charge for Riding Is Fixed, Showing That Drivers Are Unable to Manipulate Meters at Expense of Passengers—High and Low Rates.
The taxicab situation in Harlem is assuming interesting proportions through the charge that at least three of the companies operating taxicabs and catering to Harlem colored riders are at the same time drawing a rigid color line and banning the employment of colored
However, the agents did not direct their energies against the delicatessen, cigar and soft drink places which are notoriously the chief dispensers of the vile and poisonous concoctions sold as corn whiskey and gin. The places visited were mostly those run in semblance of the pre-Volstead days saloons. Reager posed as an undertaker, with Hanley and Kerzman as his assistants and in this guide they were successful in securing drinks at all the places visited. The saloon at 600 Lenox avenue, corner 143rd street, was one of the places called on and here they secured a quantity of liquors, arresting Rudolph Reda.
7th AvenuAe Place Raided
Further down they dropped in at 2359 Seventh avenue, a saloon where Frank King worked as barrister. According to reports, which may or not be unfounded, when the agents disclosed their identity at this latter place, King told them, that they would be unable to do anything there as the place, was owned by "The King of Harlem." They did not believe King's statement as to their powerlessness, it seemed, for they went right on and searched the place, finding ten quarts of whiskey which was seized. King was also seized, being placed under arrest, and a summons was left for his employer. If the meantime, however, the thirsty Harlemite is not in any way handicapped in his search for the means of quenching his dryness. The hootch joints which are cannonflaged under the most innocent appearing disguises are continuing with unabated energy to supply corn whiskey, gin, etc., in unlimited quantities and to all comers, with little discrimination as to who or what their customers are
Costly Furnishings
And the proprietors of these places are going to great lengths in fittings and furnishings, the most elaborate of them being the new place at 131st street and Seventh avenue, which opened its doors its doors this week. Costly and beautiful silk; satin and lace curtains and portieries cover the windows and doors, while the equipment and trappings are of the expensive sort. Several of the stores on the 131st street side have been taken over and made a part of the establishment, with fine tables of fine woods and marble put in position for service to prospective patrons.
It is denominated a "Steak and Chop House," and if the food sold is to be the main source of income for its promoters the proprietors must be in excepcion of feeding practically every man, woman and child in Harlem.
Another new opening was that of the place at 131th street and Seventh avenue, and it is reported that several others are being planned for the Seventh avenue trade, although there is a strong undercurrent of protest and objection on part of the decent. Home-loving element which so largely up to the resident groups on that theatrefare.

In Harlem is assuming inter-
the charge that at least three
ting taxicabs and catering to
at the same time drawing a
ing the employment of colored
chauffeurs.
The first indication of the state of the people's feelings with regard to the discriminations practiced by certain taxicab companies came to the surface during the recent session of the Supreme Lodge, K. of P. when it became known that the local entertainment committee of that organization had contracted with one of the companies which ban Negro drivers and made its cabs the "official" choice of the committee for transportation of those members of the Order who desired taxicab service.
The specific charge of race discrimination in the employment of chauffeurs is directed against the Mougul Checker Taxicab Co., Circle 700; the American Yellow Taxicab, Phone Lonox 200; and the Fay Co., Inc., Inc. acre 4000.
It is all gled that the Mougul Checker Cab Co., in its selling contract may stipulation that colored men shall not be employed to drive the cab. Colored taxicab owners are not able to purchase the Mougul Checker car, it is alleged, would-be purchasers being informed that the factory has orders six to twelve months ahead, and deposits being refused.
It is charged that the American Yellow Taxicab Co. not only bans colored drivers, but refuses even to employ colored men to wash or clean their cabs. The same charge is made against the Fay Cab Co.
Recent Discrimination
A canvass among the colored owners and chauffeurs of taxicabs shows that these men are aware of the conditions obtaining and that they feel the colored people of the community should show practical resentment against the companies that discriminate so openly and constantly alone lines of race and color. In its issue of August 25 The Age told of indignation stirred by action of the Pythian committee in designating the Mogul Checker cabs as "official." Some of the colored chauffeurs who have been subjected to the discriminatory practices of the companies "dicated have expressed approval of the exposure given in The Age.
Several of these men have been seen and they have not hesitated to voice strongly their opinion that the people of Harlem are not as loyal to the colored taxicab driver as they might be. Several of the drivers have collaborated in a statement which discloses that one of their main grievances is the tendency of colored Harlemites to pass by cabs driven by colored men and patronize cabs driven by colored men belonging to one or the other of the three companies complained of.
Answering the allegation that colled drivers overcharge, the men explain that this is an impossibility; that no driver can "fix" a meter to run fast or slow; that it is not the speed of the car, but the distance travelled, which regulates the far, They call it intention to the fact that while the lowest rate char-gd on a meter is 30 cents a mile, these are three other rating while the meters charge higher rates. The remedy is to be sure before entering a taxi, that it is one of the "lowest rate" meters.
Colored Men Make Stars
The statement given to The Age by the colored tavicab owners and drivers is in part as follows:
"TO COLORED TAXICAB RIDERS OF LARLEM: It is noticed that you sometimes refuse to ride with colored tavicab drivers, hailing a cab with a white driver instead. As an excuse, you allage that the colored driver robs you. This is very unfair to the latter. As a matter of fact, in many cases, the same cab with a white driver which you patronize is driven also, by a colored driver, the two driver are illuminating day or night, as the case may be, both working for the same man.
"As to your charge that the colored driver robs you, there is no such thing as being robbed. When you have completed your trip, if you have gone the same distance, and are charged a higher fare than on another one, the reason is that you are riding
that but a higher motor rating, and not that the driver is disheard.
"meebr" I have "a car"
Ask the driver "has the "loot" it has 30 cents a mile. If he go "like" then that is the cheapest you can ride for. But remember, there are three other motor ratings that are better. And another thing is that out of your "that a driver can fix a motor to run fast or slow; it is not the speed of the cab that registers your car, but the mile covered."
These are a few facts we would like to remind you of and those they will is with us for all time. In my instances you hail a job of the Royal Checker Co. with Phone Circle 7600 painted in large characters on back and sides of the car. that a colored man can not drive or buy one of them? Many have colored men gone to the company's office to order a Mogul Checker cab but they are always told that the factory has so many or it would be six months, or may be a year, before the company would be reached, a the company, would prefer not to take the doit.
Forced Change of Driver
"Then, a colored boy drove a Mogul Checker one night and the o-
served two letters from the office de-
cid: such an insurance must
no happen again on pain; the mort-
gage held on the cab being foreclosed
The owner could not help himself; he
had to submit to the dictation of the
company. He owned, as it happened,
other cabs, so he put the colored caul-
fear on a cab; another make.
"When a white man buys one or
more Mogul Checker cabs, he is re-
quired to give not to use a colored
driver in a Mogul Checker cab, and
this agreement is incorporated in the
purchas. contract. As the company
usually retains a substantial morg-
gage on the cab it is able to enforce
untilly this stimulation.
"Another cab company which holds to the same proscriptive and disinative attitude is the American Yellow Taxi Co., Phone 1-200. This company not only refuses to hire colored drivers, but won't let colored men even wash or clean their cab. And the F-ay Cab Co., unguere 1900, treats colored chauffeurs and workers in the same manner. It cannot use a colored man in any shape or form. His service is a driver in the question and his service as a washer or oiler is not wanted.
Now, the colored taxi driver in working on just the same terms as the white driver and all of them are working on commission and not on a straight salary. They receive one third of what they make, or 33 1-3 cents but of every dollar, and every time you pass up a colored driver and hail a cab with a white driver, whether your trip be long or short, you have cut short the race man's percentage and increased that of his more favored rival.
"It hardly seen, false that command which are so fixed in their prejudice against the race should be given so largely of race patronage at expense of drivers of your own blood and lineage. Try and remember these facts and give the colored taxi owner and driver a fair chance."

Trent on Key Road and attempted to take him to a waiting automobile. When he resisted, one of his assistants cried, "Kill him." Trent's son came out with a shot gun and fired six times. The Klanman returned the fire, but hurriedly departed. In their flight one of the two automobiles used by them fell off a bridge. The occupants fled, but the police found three white robes in the car.
Perth Amboy, N. J.—Five thousand citizens raided a Ku Klux Klan meeting here on Thursday night. August 30, at Odd Pollens Hall and with clubs bricks and bottles drove the 900 Klanmen from the building, inflicting serious injury to many of them. State troops, firemen and legal police officers finally quitted the 900, but it was not until 5:30 the next morning that the last group of twenty-five Klanmen were finally gotten out of the building.
About 100 members of the mob sat upon the treasury-dee so they attempted to enjoy a covered truck and beat them powerfully. They were finally gobble into the truck and were driven off to the accompaniment of a hall of brides and stairs.
In a statement given "at the most day by the anti-Klan forces, it was stated that an organization of their forces would be formed with the following names: "We wear no masks. We fight in the war."

TWO OFFICERS KILLED
FOUR WOUNDED BY LEO
YOUNG IN JOHNSTOWN
Johnstown, Pa.—In a pistol dual occurrin in Woodford, a section inhabited mostly by colored people, Leo A. Young, a Negro, was killed after he had killed two police officers and seriously wounded four others.
Police Officer Greatham had been sent to arrest Young, who was charged with being intimidated and disorderly. The attempt to arrest Young started the shooting. Greatham was wounded in the right side at the first shot, but crawled to a police telephone box and sent in a call for help. A patrol wagon loaded with officers rushed to the scene and as the officers aligned they were met with a fistfuls from Young's revolver. County Detective John A. James and Special Officer Joseph Abraham were killed instantly and Captain Otto Pink, Lieutenant William H. Bender and City Detective Otto Nuhn were wounded. A salve from the police guns dropped the colored man, death being instantaneous. Following the usual police tactics, some thirty Negroes were arrested, although there was absolutely nothing to show that Young was assisted by any one or that he had any accomplices.
Squads of Santa police commenced from the barracks at Greenburg, with heavy patrols of city police, patrolled the streets in Rockland for the alleged purpose of preventing a possible outbreak. WHITE HEAD TO BE NEPT AT NEGRO VETERANS' HOSPITAL FOR PRESENT, SAYS DIRECTOR
(Distributed from First Page)
Editor Moore, on August 23, addressed a letter to President Coolidge, reminding him of President Harding's promise and urging that the full colored personnel desired be placed in the hospital. This letter was offered to Director Hines for reply, which was made under date of August 29. The letter from Editor Moore to the President, and the reply from Director Hines are given in full as foows:
Editor Moore's Letter
"My dear Mr. President:
"I am writing to wish you a very successful administration and next to ask you to appoint a full colored personnel of the Veterans' Hospital located at Tuskegee.
"President Harding had promised that this should be done and as you have pledged yourself to carry out his policies, I feel sure that you will be pleased to do this. You have been to the Hospital. It is for colored soldiers and the members of my race cannot see why. there should be such opposition on the part of southerners against colored people administering to their own. We have qualified physicians and surgeons who are willing to render this service. Gen. Hines has stood loyally in favor of a Negro personnel and only waited for a return of the late President Hardin, in the matter. We feel that you are our friend and that you are a believer in a real square deal and that in your administration of the office of President, you will not consider race or color in appointments but rather recognize character and ability. The southern idea that recognition of the race to appoint-office will bring about friction and cause the Negro to want social equality is all bunk and should be brushed aside. If education means anything with character it means good citizenship and it is time now we believe, that the prejudices of the South should be ignored for if they are allowed to sow the seed of hate, there can never be any justice accorded the Negro and as long as they have hatred and refuse to give the Negro a square deal there will be larger migration from the South to the North than at present. If they give the Negro justice and a square deal there is no place he would prefer to live in than the South.
"Again wishing your administration
the fullest success, believe me

Dear Sir--Your letter of August
21, 1924 addressed to the President,
in relation to personnel at U. S. Veteran's Hospital No. 91, Tuskegee, Alabama, has been referred to this office for reply. At the last conference with a committee representing the citizens of Tuskegee is was agreed, for the
present, that a white Commanding Officer and two assistants would be retained at the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee.
"Steps are being taken at once to place on duty at the hospital colored physicians, and other colored personnel. The situation is developing uneffectively at Tuskegee, and the local authorities at the hospital are receiving the full cooperation of citizens of both races in that vicinity.
"Very truly yours,

CLAS' GRAND LODGE WAS THE LARGEST IN YEARS AND ONE OF THE MOST HARMONOUS
successive terms. Col. John R. Marshall was relected as grand honored leading knight.
Financial reports showed a steady and healthy increase. During the past year approximately $100,000 has been paid out for death and sick benefits, about equally divided between the two purposes.
The parade held on Tuesday, August 28, was said to have been the most imposing demonstration ever witnessed on the streets of Chicago. An unusual feature of this spectacle was the taking of photos from an airstream: one of the big Chicago dailies, the pictures being published in Wednesday's issue.
The next session was awarded to Pittsburgh, following a spirited tri-cornered content between that city, St. Louis and Richmond, Va.
Address to Country.
1. The grand lodge issued an address to the country at large, condemning particularly the Ku Klux Klan and the crime of lynching. Reference was also made to the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, decrying segregation in governmental institutions. The address said in part: "We condemn in unmeasured terms all organizations or societies which preach the overthrow of law, and which practice outrages under the claim of regulation of the citizen of his morals, or upon the charge of violation of the criminal law. The greatest menace that now confront our country is the growing tendency to usurp the lawful functions of our constituted authorities by organized bands parading under pretended patriotic ideals, but which are in truth and in fact nothing more than unlawful mobs. We condemn the Ku Klux Klan and all other such organizations, and call upon the lawful authorities of the States and the Nation to suppress them."
"We condemn the crime of lynching wherever practiced, and appeal to the Congress of the nation to enact a law which shall make this crime punishable in the Federal Courts.
"We believe that the race with which we are identified have men and women in its ranks qualified to perform the duties and that any other American citizen may be called upon to perform. We are confident that there are those among us capable and qualified to manage the affairs of the Government Hospital at Tuskegee, established for the care of colored soldiers. If segregation is to be practiced by the government and a separate institution established for those of our black working class to maintain the flag, then and in that case, we believe that all of the positions in such institutions should be allotted to the race, and we call upon the administration at Washington to redeem the promise made by our late President, Warren G. Harding and put the management of the Government Hospital for Colored Veterans at Tuskegee in the hands of members of our race."
Distinguished Tributes
To Late Rev. A. P. Miller
From Church and State
Jersey City, N. J.—The Rev. Albert P. Miller, who was formerly :itor of Nazarene Congregational Church, Brook . . . , and its pater-emeritus :der the present administration, and who served as assistant pastor of the Grace. Congregational Church of I. Iem died at his home Monday, August 13. The funeral service was at St. Mark's A. M. E. Z. Church, this city, with many distinguished personages, civic and religious in attendance.
For fifteen years Dr. Miller had occupied a responsible position at the City Hall, and Commissioner A. Harry Moore and a delegation from the New Jersey Civil Service Association attended the funeral as representatives of the city.

Smith of the Monumental Baptist Church, and Rev. J. R. Wright of the Emory M. E. Church. The choir from Nazarene Church, Brooklyn, sang, W. H. Taylor, director, and J. Martin Rools presided at the organ. Several solos were sung by Mme. Anna M. Harper, of Jersey City. Commissioner, more that a fitting text for a sermon on the life of Rev. Miller would be "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of lif." The speaker paid a fine tribute to the dead man, declaring his loss would be severely felt at the City Hall.
Dr. Miller was born of slave parents in Ripley, Miss. He graduated from Fiske, and then spent four years as a missionary in Africa. Returning, he entered Yale, graduating in 1855. He rendered distinguished service to the race in church and circles.

St. Louis, Mo.—At a banquet Monday evening, August 27, given in honor of Attorney William Chance Matthews of Boston and Lester A. Walton of New York, Mr. Matthews told a group of representative Negro citizens that the appointment of Bacom Slemp of Virginia as Secretary to President Coolidge should in no sense be construed as a slap at colored voters.
"I have had the privilege of knowing Mr. Coolidge for many years, as we are 'fellow citizens' of the great State of Massachusetts," declared Mr. Matthews. "The President's record for fair play is well known. He believes in law enforcement, and the Nergoes of this country may rest assured Mr. Coolidge will not subscribe to any campaign to foster racial hatreds. In his speech of acceptance for nomination as Republican candidate for Vice President, Calvin Coolidge voluntarily inserted a frank statement demanding justice for the colored American. That he will swerve from life-long convictions at this time is inconceivable and unbelievable."
The banquet was given by the local Negro Bar Association. Freeman L. Martin, President, presided.
Lucille Lassiter Davis
Filea Suit for Divorce
Trenton, N. J.—Mrs. Lacille Lassiter Davis, niece of the wealthy and well-known Dr. Norman Lassiter of Newport News, has filed suit for divorce from her husband, Orville Davis.
Mrs. Davis' suit is filed under the Blackwell Act, passed by the last legislature, which permits absolute divorce on the grounds of cruelty. In her petition to the court she alleges numerous brutal beatings by her husband, which forced her to leave him in May, 1922. She returned to him in June in response to his urgent appeals for forgiveness, but she charges that Davis soon resumed the beatings and cursing her. Beaches these acts of cruelty, she alleges that Mr. Davis was unduly friendly with a number of young women, naming several of the younger set.
Bee Discrimination as Practiced by California Fruit Growers and Packers
What is said to be an example of the outcroping of race prejudice is on our usual direction is called to the attention of The Age by a reader, who consisting of the tissue sheets used in a firm packing concern in California, is wrapping fruit for shipment to the East Sheet bears the legend, "For us Handled By White Help Only." The person sending it in had purchased a basket of pears and on reaching time and taking out the fruit she joined the inscription. The particular package was shipped by the Box Vista, Parcelville, Calif., and the heralding to the word of its "white help only" slogan is due to the prejudice engendered in this section by the presence of large numbers of Japanese, who secure employment on the fruit ranches and who are in many cases themselves operators and growers. Naturally, the race prospection which is applied to the Japs strike the colored workers also.

COL. ARTHUR LITTLE. _
as the commanding officer of the ont
Dlack regiment in the New York Nationa
Guard Col. Arthur Little occupies a uniqu
position, which at times is not, without it
misunderstandings and embarrassments. Th
fact that Col. Little is witite, while the ran!
and file of his regiment are of other colors
is responsible for this, situation. Circum
stances whith in other regiments would pas:
unnoticed, are here attributed to an imagin
ary color line, at least by over-sensitive out
siders.
‘To reassure these captious critics, we shal
endeavor to throw the proper light upon the
character of Colonei Little and the senti
ments that actuate him in controlling the
affairs of the 369th Regiment.” To begin
with, there is no color line drawn withit
this regiment. In matters of promotion and
demotion the factor that is consulted is the
service record—not birth certificate. In its
activities m every field—military, civic, phil-
anthropic, memorial, or entertainment—no
man or woman suffers injustice or slight on
account of heing of the colored race; but no
man or tvamtan shunt! expect or desire
special Gaedleration, ether. om account of
High Vf that rave, ‘
‘The entertainment of General-Gouraud of
the French Army of a few weeks ago was
++ sf the aceasions that iMustrated the ab-
tro +f any color line within. the regiment
<i nthe treatment of its guests. While
“Sye" Vintision occurred in the seating
pans, duc to the failure of the volunteer
ushers to appear through some misunder-
standing, the question of race had no bear-
ing whatever upon any of the mixups.
The luncheon that was given by Col. Lit-
tle, with the officers of the overseas regi-
ment as his guests, to meet their French
commander, was a complete refutation of the
charge of any culor line within the regiment.
An invitation was issued to every surviving
officer of the War regiment, and to every offi-
cer of the present National Guard regiment
who served in the ranks of the War regi-
ment. making a total of 156 invitations. Of
the 145 living white officers invited, 26 ac-
cepted and attended, Oi the eleven colored
officers invited..cight accepted and attended.
In the printed souvenir of this entertain-
ment there were ten pictures. seven being of}
groups. The three single portraits were of
General Gouraud, Col. William Hayward
and Lieutenant’ James Reese Europe. Un-
der the group pictures, twenty-one indivi-
duals were referred to by key and mentioned
by name. Nine were of French ofhcers, six
were of white officers and six were of col-
ored officers or men of the regiment, — |
No better illustration could be given of the}
absolute freedom from color prejudice that]
induced Col. Little to accept the command]:
of the 369th Regitnent, than the incidents}
attending the reception tu General Gouraud. ||
li was an aceasion that reflected credjt on|
the commander and on the regiment, which
we trust will carry on the traditions of thefi
famous “Fighting Fifteenth” under its pres-{{
ent commander. * Y

mendations at theirface value and adop
them in good faith, there would certainl)
be a rattling of dry bones in that section
Making the authority of the law supreme
would mean’ the wiping out of mob law and
lynching’and the suppression of the Ku Klux
Klan, . Undivided allegiance to the Consti-
tution would embrace the acceptance of the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments,’ the
freedom of the ballot and the abolition of
jim crow car laws. 5
While there have been some notable ex-
amples ‘of Southern editors who have de-
nounced lynching and the excesses of the
klan, we fear that they are not yet ready
to go the whole way in support of the move-
ment. In faet, Mr. Newmeyer's anxiety to
have the membership of the association co-
‘operate with, the administration was ‘re-
stricted by the reservation, “in every man-
ner consistent with their individual policies.”
This teft each publisher free to plead the
urge of his individual policy. as sufficient
reason for not accepting Mr. Coolidge's rece
ommendations.
Nevertheless, the President's letter will
not fail of-certain moral effect upen both
newspaper publishers and newspaper read
ers all over the country by causing them to
consider the fact that such recommendations
are necessary, There should be no need for:
the Chief Executive to have to plead for
support of the government, the supremacy
of the law and individual allegiance to the
Constitution. Such things should follow as
b matter of course in a government of the
seople, by the people and for the people as
his country is popularly conceived to be.
Democratic institutions are undergoing a
evere test, which will determine their last-
ng qualities. The newspapers of the coun-
ry can do much to decide that issue in favor}
f true democracy. President Coolidge has]
jointed the way in which they may best|
erve the government. It remains for them!

ABOUT PRIZE FIGHTING.
| A sincere friend of the race, who oveupies
a distinguished position in the diverse tields
of finance and philanthropy, takes The Age
to ink for the article published in Ure issue
of August 23, concerning Governor Smith's
attitude on the Demipsey-Wills fight. We
quote his letter as follows:
I shou'd jike (» know your awherity for saving
that Governor Smith has taken perscsal action
* regarding the prize Fght. I tward yesterday posit

misyon It is a serious matter to publith Govern:
‘or Smith's plain denial and to assume the reepansi-
bility, “Governor Smith has decided” as an opposite
assertion I do net suppose he woud go into it by
bringing a libel suit, but it is serious to make sucit
an explien, charge “against the Governor of this
State ay to Ins deliberately making a false state-

referred to, as the action taken by the Rox-

UNIONISM AND THE EXODUS.
.| Another phase of the migration from th
[South was presented through the daily pa
{pers last week, in the charge made by some
|New York labor union officials, that North.
Jern employers of lator .are using extensive
| propaganda to induce Negroes to leave, in
Jorder to give said employers a supply of
cheap labor. The unions propose to mee!
this movement, it w2s announced, by mak-
ing the migrants good union members a:
qusekly as employers can bring them here.
Jt was stated that the unions in the wo-
men’s wear industries would not admit Ne-
Kroes until they became convinced that em-
ployers intended to ure them as strikebreak-
ers. Officers of. the Garment Workers, how-
ever, claimed tat their organization had al-
ways admitted members of the darker race
and added that about fifteen hundred black
women afe now in*that union, It was claim-
ed these women join the union. as soon as
they learn the aims of the organization. Ac-
cording to the secretary, “when they find
that we are in business to protect them from
exploitation, they become union members.”
| This union official was quoted-as believing
that there is a possibility that Negroes may;
displace a number of white workers in the!
garment industry, but he insisted that the
union will not discriminate. Tlis final declar-
ation as to union policy was of such a nature
as to encourage those who have sought to
broaden the cutlook for economic equality.
He said: ;
The Nagroes art as welcome it the prement
trade ax any ons, We are doing our best to kecp
race prejudice cut of labor unions It 1s unhealthy ,
in any ergunizatica and would be fatal in labor
unions, 1
Secretary Baroff has not only enunciated
a broad and hberal policy toward tie Negro,
but he has hit upon the, best and most ef-
fective way of defeating the employers’ plan |
to lower the cost of labor. When labor |
unionism in general decides to keep race
prejudice out of labor uniuns, the outlook |
for the workers ei all races and colors, will
be immeasurably. improved. I:
May the Ladies’ Garment Workers live up |

WITH OUR GIRLS
Much uneasiness is felt here as to the K, K, K, but up to the present no depredations have been perpetrated up on our people.
The readers of this paper hereabouts are somewhat surprised at the dirty day the K. of P. were treated about their grounds. Such treatment could not have been had they been in our city. For we get any place the white people use here for public functions for the asking. The Fair Grounds and the Opera House, the greatest public places are used by us whenever occasion occurs. The Colored State Fair used the grounds of the white ever since its organisation and will use it at its next holding.

They are not dead, those loved ones

In distress where we cannot

Set forth they do, and love us and

Set forth their hands still clasp our

when it will seem that all have gone astray. It matters not how discouraging, you keep on walking and moving and you will receive your reward. When Knock, was about the daily occupation, God was with him. Some carry God to church, and in the week days, they do not want Him. How can you expect your sons to be good. Some fathers are gamblers, others drankskins. Did you ever think that your son is what you are? You might think that because you haven't a son you need not be careful, but remember your neighbor has a son and he may be holding you as an ideal, don't disappoint him.
To walk with God is to be above the common things of life, and to be doing things that you would not like to be doing when Jesus comes. How much we need God to protect us against the evil one "Lord, every hour I need then." Happ, is the man who knows that God will be with him all the day, he has nothing to fear, Walking with God implies harmony, harmony, and holiness. You can't go along, unless you are in harmony with man's way of thinking and acting, neither can you get along with God unless you are in harmony with His commandments. Humility, means to free from pride, to become saintly, harmless, it changes, demons to angels. You cannot speak evil of your neighbor if you are humble. You have to forget the mean things of life. Let them call you every thing but a child of God but you just walk with God, and He will fix it. I know, if I walk as Enoch did all with be well.
Holiness is a perfect, healthy christian life. Some people spiritually are dried up parched leaves, because they have not walked with God. To walk with God, means to know Him Job said, I know that my adversary liveth even after the skin-worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh, I shall see God. Men who walk with God know there is a Supreme Being, and he knows it from personal experience. Science seeks to find out the truth, it helps you, but I want to know Him for myself by experience.
Walking with God implies companionship. One who you can confide in. One who you can reveal your secrets. Right on this earth, you can save Him, even if you have strayed away. He will keep your secrets. Friends may neglect you, and expose you. Let us resolve that we are going to walk with God. Amen.

We hope the would-be-Headers and others with welfare at heart for their own, in the sections where our folks have gone, will organize welfare clubs and assist them in getting homes, and above all the ballot, because if they get that, the homes and schooling will come. Let the old residents of this section who have gone on and placed themselves, help now to place the new comers. Have no fear they are going for the honest dollar and will give honest work and are still coming as long as it is published that they can get employment. Our folks prefer the their home and the homes of their parents.

when Hubard and Gourdin contest for

SPORT COMMENT
By WILIIAM E. CLARK
Mn Saturday, September 1, Battling Siki, former light heavyweight champion
of the World, arrived in New York from France. Although 4 visitor to this
country, be was detained at Ellis Island and an attempt was made to prevent him
{rom landing by classifying him as an African, although he js.a citieen of. France.
Under the immigration laws, the Africas quota of immigrants to this country is
four, and it war thought that by classifying Siki a» an African he could be pre-
vented from landing by saying thag;the quota had been reached, but it was found
@uat only two Africans had arrived this year. : :
One of the daily papets On Sisoday published a picture of Siki as he appeared
‘om his arrival with the caption, “Nerve” under it. These incidents and the action
‘of officials of the Boxing ‘Commission would indicate that Siki is not a welcome
visitor in this country. At the Commonwealth Club on Saturday night, he was
‘ove of the principal attractions and although the management of the club wanted
to have him introduced from the ring, representatives of the Boxing Commission
Present advised them not to do so: He was not introduced to the pndlic, and left
with his manager, apparently angry, before the show was over.
However, he was introduced to a group of colored newspaper men before he
Jeft by H. V. Edwards, the, English sprint champion, who conversed with him
fluently in French. To ur Siki appeara to be more intelligent than the average
figher and crrtainly should be giver a fair tial in: this countey before being
barred. He will witness the Dempsey-Firpo bout and hopes to get a‘ chance to
fight Dempsey or Wills, He alo wants a return bout with Mike MeTigue in,
this country. ‘However, it probable that he will be matched to fight Kid Norfolk
tate this fall and his future bouts will depend upon his showing against Norfolk.
Ip contrast to the ceception given Siki upon his arrival here, attention’ should!
be called to.the one given H. V. Edwards, former 100 and 200 metre champioa
nf Great Britain upon his arrival here the week previous. Edwards is also colored,
but neverthelesi, received the warmest reception irom the A. A. U. officials and
track stars of this country. He is probably the best educated athlete, white or
colored, in Ametica today, having graduated from imiversities in Germany and
England. He is also specially trained ax an accountant and hopes to enter that
field in this comtry. .
We wish both athletes a succéssful sojourn here.
<=. Through the onurtesy of Tom O'Rourke, the colored press was given press
tickets TVeoeemepiomahip fights held under his ampices at the Pol oGrounds
this season. In the DundeeCrique fight, Danny Edwards. a colored boy, fourht
in the semi-final contest,, but in the Greb-Wilson bout there were no colored
[fghter. So we appreciated the tickets io the‘latter hout tye more and commend
Pir. O'Rourke's example to the other promiten, Sensei Se and hip
press representative, Ike Dorgan, who make all kinds .of beaks before ‘they
will send tickets to the colored press, even when colored fighters are on in the
‘main bouts. They should realire that the colored man is becbming a fight fan in
increasingly large numbers and carmot be longer ignored. |

tween Battling Siki, former, light heavy-
weight thampion, and Harry Wills, in
his big arefia at Jersey City, N. J., some-
time during the month of ‘October.
Siki conferred with Rickard on Tuts-
Jday and mdicated his willingness to. meet
Wills or any other fighter, and said be
would begin training -at once. Wills
is also willing to meet Siki according to
the best information ublainable, although
Mullins has not yet signed up.
At the couclusion of his conference
[with ‘Siki, Kickard gave gut the follow:
ing. statement:
“1 want to match Siki with Harry
Wills. Tle looked big and strong enough
10 me today to be able to give the col-
ored heavyweight champion .a great
fight. He said that be weighed above
IAS, and he looked it. 1 bave already
takea this proposition up with Paddy
Mullins and expect tv be able to give
Siki_a definite answer when he meets
me in my office tomorrow afternoon. If
Mullins overlooks this bout he is fool-
ish, a> it’ woukd have great drawing
power. Lt is) my idea to put the bout
on around the first of October. Friday,
October 5, is the date I now have in|
mind. If Mullins is ready to do bus.

being mixed bouts, and the . colored
fighters were returned winver in cach
‘of them, In the first ten rounder, Wil-
bur Cohen, former amateur flyweight
champion, fought .a slashing bout at
lightning speed against Willie Darcy of
The Bronx. ‘It_was a slugfest in every
round and/ was the “best bout of the
night, Darcy put up a good fight but
cou'd not stand the pace of his dusty op-
ponent, and in. the! last four rounds
Cohen ‘won by a wide margin.
In. the . second -ten-round encounter,
Buddy Saunders, lightweight champion
of the National Guard, won a close de-
cition over Willie Phieffer. This was
also a fast and bitter encounter with ac-
tien all of the way. Saunders was able
to take all that Willie coud hand out
and came back strong enough to hand
cat some punches of his own. The col
red fighter was the more aggressive and
was entitled to the decision.
‘Jack McVey, colored welterweight
champion, scored an easy victory . over
Sailor Darden in the final bout. Dar-
den, who substituted for Sandy Taylor,
was fast and tough, but did not have
the skill to prove. close opponent for

absorbing considerable ‘punishment dar-

fought back and seldom resorted to,

HOT AND COLD SHOWER BATHS ARE AVAILABLE AT NEW BARBER SHOP
J. W. Rose Makes Addition To His Well-Equipped Lenox Ave. Tonsorial Establishment.
J. W. Rose, the pioneer quick lunch man who recently combined his businesses—a restaurant and the Imperial Barber Shop—in one building at 430-432 Lenox avenue, has added another innovation to his already well equipped establishments. Hot and cold shower baths, the only ones operated by colored in New York, have been added to his barber shop.
To a representative of The Age, Mr. Rose stated that shower baths are the last thing for sanitary ware in big hotels are needed, placing the old bath tub with showers, which are more up-to-date in every way. In connection with his shower bath he also has rubbing tables and an experienced masseur for taking care of the bodies of his patrons.
His barber shop is really a place for particular people and is one of the best equipped and finest in the state. In describing the shop, I find that Mr. Rose describes the shop, with all regulations of the Board of Health. Here the old time shaving mug and brush and neck duster are relics of the past and as far as the writer could see there is no chance of disease being transmitted from one customer to another, as he has the sanitary lather, bristles, and cold water connections. His manicure tables are called trick tables and also have hot and cold water. The personnel of the shop are: Miss J. B. Curtis, clerk; Miss Adrienne Hawkins, manicurist; Timothy Quarles, Geo. McLain, Leo LeCôte, Buddy Hawkins, William Garrett, barbers; and Howard Smith, masseur in charge of the shower bath.
Mr. Rose is the pioneer caterer and restaurant man in New York, having established his restaurant business here fourteen years ago. His restaurant is one of the most popular eating places in Harlem and serves the best home-cooked foods at popular prices. He desires to say to the public he highly apt to work with people in the fourteen years and since the consolidation of his business into our building, is better able to serve the public than ever before.
Funeral Services For Late David I. Martin
Funeral services over the body of the late David I. Martin, senior founder and head of the Martin-Smith Music School, 139 West 10th street, who died Tuesday, August 28, were held Sunday, September 2, at St. Philip's P. E. Church, West 133rd street, the Rev. Hutchins B. Bishop, rector, officiating, at 1 o'clock, p. m. The Monarch Lodge of Elks, of which Mr. Martin was a member, escorted the body, the funeral procession being led by the brass band of that body. The orate tributes filled two automobiles. Paul Bodin organized choir director at St. Philip's, organized the organ. William C. Perry, undertaker, 248 West 132nd street, was in charge of the arrangements.
Born in Asheville, N. C., Mr. Martin was 44 years of age. He was said to be the first colored student to enter the Damroch Institute of Musical Art, specializing on the violin. After graduating, he taught music privately-for a while, then he joined the Music-School Settlement for Colored People. Resigning from this position, he associated with Miss Helen Elise Smith (now Mrs. R. Nathaniel Dett) and founded the Martin-Smith Music School. This work Mr. Martin developed to a high degree of success. He taught Martin and three children, Eugene Mars, David Irwin, jr., sons, and Gertrude Mars, daughter.

State Employment Bureau
Opened Branch in Harlem
The State Employment Bureau, under direction of Bernard L. Shientag, State Industrial Commissioner, has again opened a branch employment agency in Harlem, ostensibly for the benefit of colored workers especially, at 2294 Seventh Avenue. A branch office formerly conducted in Harlem was discontinued some two years ago, one of the principal objections being that its operation tended toward a segregation of the colored workers. It was advanced as the opinion of many that the race would benefit more largely if representatives were placed in the office. In the street, as this would offer opportunities for placing colored men and women in industries which would not be apt to make application to a branch office in Harlem. Commissioner Sheintag, however, has been in favor of reestablishing the Harlem branch and made a definite promise some time ago to do so as soon as pos-
Herman S. Whaley, formerly a law clerk in the office of Marshall & Garrett, is the superintendent in charge of the men's department. Miss Lezie B. Wheedler, managing the women's department, is Madeline in the office of the office and the man will be added to the office personnel at an early date. The telephone is Bradhurst 2641.
Court Districts To Be
Much interest is aroused in the announcement that Gov. Smith has named John R. Davies, 423 West 120th street, as a member of the commission to investigate the municipal court system of the City of New York with a view to its rearrangement so as to procure a more suitable distribution of our court business. Justice Davies sits in the Seventh District Municipal Court, which embraces all of the Harlem territory, extending from 110th street to the city's northern boundary and from Fifth avenue to the Hudson River. He considered the creation of a new district to include the Harlem section, with provision for recognition of the Negro population through the naming of a colored magistrate. There is no effort to secure a jim crow court, but it is pointed out that much of the business now handled by the District Municipal Court is colored Harlemites and the naming of a colored judge would be a well deserved and appreciated act.

Fleet St. A.M.E.Z. Church
Sunday's congregation was noticeable in that a number of the regular attendants were absent. The cause was the Labor Day holiday when hundreds go out of town.
The sermon lost none of its fervor, however, nor was there any disappointment to those that heard it. The theme "The Christians Commonwealth" was illustrative of the life of Paul and Christ in cell of hope and encouragement today, with hope in other days. At the conclusion of the service Miss Bebe Davis, executive secretary of the Circle for Negro Relief, presented her work to the congregation and an offering is given her. Dr. C. E. Wilson, the presiding elder of the Albany District of the A. M. E. Church worshipped with pastor and congregation. At 7:45 p.m., Dr. Brown preached again using for his theme "Confirmation as Transformation." Dr. Brown and a large delegation of Christian Endeavor markets will go up and attend at the District Conference Wednesday day to Friday night at Mamaroneck, N. Y., with the Rev. M. O. Haynes, pastor.
