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.

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.

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. 1930 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 Garment Workers Welcome Col Women's International Secretary Dec Done to Keep Race Prejudice —Negro Is Welcomed and That large employers of labor in the North are using means to persuade Negroes dissatisfied with southern conditions to come to northern states in the hope of securing a supply of cheap labor that can be used in labor disputes, is the opinion advanced by Abraham Baroff, secretary of the International Ladies', Garment Workers, 3 East Sixteenth street, New York City.

It was thought that all requirements would be met and Garvey would be free on Wednesday.

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 Harlemites Are Told of Discriminations Practiced ..

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.

ERS APPEAL TO MEMBERS TO BE GIVEN A FAIR DEAL An Charge for Riding Is Fixed, Are Unable to Manipulate ense of Passengers— and Low Rates. 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." Baltimore Republicans To Make Hot Fight For Places in Legialature Baltimore, Md.—Louis 'H. Davenport merchant; Arthur E. Briscoe Lawyer, and C Marcellus Dorsey, printer, will be candidates for the Leigalature on the Republican ticket.

Hemisphere Boston, Mass.—The eighteenth biennial sessions of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias and the Supreme Court of Columbia, Eastern and Western Hemispheres, adjourned here late Thursday night, August 30, with the installation of officers for the two bodies. The Supreme Lodge re-elected practically all of the old officers, while Mrs. Jennie M. Ross of Baltimore, the supreme worthy councillor of the court was answered under by Dr. Alice A.

Ku Klux Klan Routed By Lone Va. Negro; Many Hurt in Jersey Norfolk, Va.—A Negro, the son of W. B. Trent of Portsmouth, put to flight a half dozen or more members of the Ku Klux Klan on Wednesday night, August 29 when they called at the home of W. B. 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.

(Church Survivors) 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.

Moore, "The New York Age, "230 West 150th St. "New York, N. Y. 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, (Signed) FRANK T. HINES "Director" 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.

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.

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.

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.

As the commanding officer of the one black regiment in the New York Nation Guard Col. Arthur Little occupies a unique position, which at times is not without a misunderstandings and embarrassments. The fact that Col. Little is white, while the race and file of his regiment are of other color is responsible for this situation. Circumstances which in other regiments would paranormal color line, at least by over-sensitive outsiders. To reassure these captious critics, we shall endeavor to throw the proper light upon the character of Colonei Little and the sentiments that actuate him in controlling the affairs of the 369th Regiment. To begin with, there is no color line drawn within this regiment. In matters of promotion and demotion the factor that is consulted is the service record—not birth certificate. In its activities in every field—military, civic, philanthropic, memorial, or entertainment—man or woman suffers injustice or slight or account of being of the colored race; but man or woman should expect or desire special consideration, either, on account of that race. The entertainment of General Gouraud of the French Army of a few weeks ago was of the occasions that illustrated the abolition of any color line within the regiment in the treatment of its guests. While the confusion occurred in the seating plans, due to the failure of the volunteer ushers to appear through some misunderstanding, the question of race had no bearing whatever upon any of the mixups. The luncheon that was given by Col. Little, with the officers of the overseas regiment as his guests, to meet their French commander, was a complete refutation of the charge of any color line within the regiment. An invitation was issued to every surviving officer of the War regiment, and to every officer of the present National Guard regiment who served in the ranks of the War regiment, making a total of 156 invitations. Of the 145 living white officers invited, 26 accepted and attended. Of the eleven colored officers invited, eight accepted and attended. In the printed souvenir of this entertainment there were ten pictures, seven being of groups. The three single portraits were of General Gouraud, Col. William Hayward and Lieutenant James Reese Europe. Under the group pictures, twenty-one individuals were referred to by key and mentioned by name. Nine were of French officers, six were of white officers and six were of colored 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 Regiment, than the incidents attending the reception to General Gouraud. It was an occasion that reflected credit on the commander and on the regiment, which we trust will carry on the traditions of the famous "Fighting Fifteenth" under its present commander.

NEWSPAPERS AND GOVERNMENT. NEWSPAPERS AND GOVERNMENT. The president of the Southern Newspaper Publishers' Association recently wrote to President Coolidge, asking him for an exclusive message to the Southern publishers, broadly answering the question as to how the newspapers can best serve the Federal government at this time. The President's reply to Mr. Newmeyer, who also is connected with the New Orleans "Item," was as follows: The president of the Southern Newspaper Publishers' Association recently wrote to President Coolidge, asking him for an exclusive message to the Southern publishers, broadly answering the question as to how the newspapers can best serve the Federal government at this time. The President's reply to Mr. Newmeyer, who also is connected with the New Orleans "Item," was as follows: Your very kind message and the general assurance which it contains of support on the part of the newspapers of your association has been received. Every newspaper can be very helpful in its support of the Government, whether it be State or national. Fundamentally this means always making the authority of the law supreme. It means undivided allegiance to the Constitution and unhesitating obedience to legislative action made in accordance with its provisions. Constructive criticism is always helpful. It keeps institutions from becoming fossilized and failing into decay. But constructive criticism does not accomplish its purpose merely by pointing out what is evil. It must not fail to direct attention with more emphasis, to what is good, our institutions, our social organization our economic condition are all of a quality and quantity, which are worthy of our bright admiration. I believe that If these principles and ideals can be reiterated from time to time, joined with a reverence for religion and an inspiration for better things If the publishers of the Southern newspapers were to accept the President's recommendations at their face value and adopt them in good faith, there would certainly 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 Constitution would embrace the acceptance of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, the freedom of the ballot and the abolition of jim crow car laws. While there have been some notable examples of Southern editors who have denounced lynching and the excesses of the klan, we fear that they are not yet ready to go the whole way in support of the movement. In fact, Mr. Newmeyer's anxiety to have the membership of the association cooperate with the administration was restricted by the reservation, "in every manner consistent with their individual policies." This left each publisher free to plead the urge of his individual policy, as sufficient reason for not accepting Mr. Coolidge's recommendations. Nevertheless, the President's letter will not fail of certain moral effect upon both newspaper publishers and newspaper readers 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 a matter of course in a government of the people, by the people and for the people as this country is popularly conceived to be. Democratic institutions are undergoing a severe test, which will determine their lasting qualities. The newspapers of the country can do much to decide that issue in favor of true democracy. President Coolidge has pointed the way in which they may best serve the government. It remains for them to act upon it.

A sincere friend of the race, who occupies distinguished position in the diverse fields of finance and philanthropy, takes The Age to talk for the article published in the issue of August 25, concerning Governor Smith's attitude on the Dempsey-Wills fight. We quote his letter as follows: I should like to know your authority for saving that Governor Smith has taken personal action regarding the prize fight. I heard yesterday positive assertion that he had not insured in any way and that any action would be by the Boxing Commission. It is a serious matter to publish Governor Smith's plain denial and to assume the responsibility "Governor Smith has decided" as an opposite action. I cannot suppose he would go into it by bringing a lionet to a serious to make such an exploit charge against the Governor of this State as to his deliberately making a false statement. Your authority would need to be someone of unquestioned character. I have known Governor Smith for many years and feel well assured that he has one of the most honest minds. I have ever come in contact with and do not believe he would lie.

I heard yesterday positive assertion that he had not interfered in any way and that any action would be by the Boxing Commission. It is a serious matter to publish Governor Smith's plain denial and to assume the responsibility, "Governor Smith has decided" as an opposite assertion. I do not suppose he would go into it by bringing a label suit, but it is serious to make such an explicit charge against the Governor of this State as to his deliberately making a false statement. Your authority would need to be someone of unquestioned character. I have known Governor Smith for many years and feel well assured that he has one of the most honest minds. I have ever come in contact with and do not believe he would lie. I refer to this not in connection with Governor Smith but to the record of your paper. I am, of course, utterly opposed to prize fighting and grieve that you stand up for prize fighters in order, apparently, to seem fair to the race. I should be much happier if you should denounce prize fighting, which is to my mind in most explicit opposition to the teachings of Jesus Christ, and your paper emphasizes Christian obligation and the worship of Christ as the one basis of action. I am, therefore, distressed 9 this apparent praise of a brutal and breastly exhibition of human strength. No one can, I think, honestly think our Lord would attend a "bout." We do not think that any serious injustice is as done to Governor Smith by the article offered to, as the action taken by the Boxing Commission would hardly run counter to his personal sentiment. Granting that the governor possesses all the honesty of mind at our correspondent attributes to him, it must be remembered that he is at the same time a consummate politician and knows how shevel an inconvenient issue. Governor ginith has not shown in this matter the unimpromising attitude that characterized his We do not think that any serious injustice was done to Governor Smith by the article referred to, as the action taken by the Boxing Commission would hardly run counter to his personal sentiment. Granting that the Governor possesses all the honesty of mind that our correspondent attributes to him, it must be remembered that he is at the same time a consummate politician and knows how to shelve an inconvenient issue. Governor Smith has not shown in this matter the uncompromising attitude that characterized his defiance of the Hearst interests in the last Democratic State convention. A more substantial ground for criticism is that founded on the toleration of prize fighting in the sports department of The Age. We are free to admit that pugilism appears to us brutal as a sport or physical competition, but college football and bull wrestling, as practiced in the recent rodeo staged in New York, partake of the same character. Nevertheless, prize fighting, football and bull wrestling are all phases of our national development. Unless the black American develops his physical prowess and fighting spirit by taking part in these sports, he will miss the opportunity to achieve an equal footing in popular esteem. Peter Jackson, George Dixon, Joe Gans and George Godfrey have done their part in compelling racial respect by their ring records among a class of Americans, to whom the speeches of Douglass, the poetry of Dünhar, or the achievement of Booker Washington would have no appeal. The Negro is an American, therefore he must share the faults as well as the virtues that have helped to make America what it is. And the publicans and sinners who support the prize ring have a sense of justice and fairplay that often rises superior to color prejudice. We must not forget that our candid friend, while pointing out the utterances in which The Age failed to make its record square the with his ideals, was kind enough to prepare rac the way for his criticism by the following endorsement: The Age is not insensible to praise or criticism, especially when either sentiment is constructive and based on discriminating review of the foundation for such expression. We welcome such critics as the writer of the communication quoted above, because of his sincere interest in the welfare of the race, which has been attested more by deeds than by words. Another phase of the migration from the South was presented through the daily papers last week, in the charge made by some New York labor union officials, that Northern employers of labor are using extensive propaganda to induce Negroes to leave, in order to give said employers a supply of cheap labor. The unions propose to meet this movement, it was announced, by making the migrants good union members as quickly as employers can bring them here. It was stated that the unions in the women's wear industries would not admit Negroes until they became convinced that employers intended to use them as strikebreakers. Officers of the Garment Workers, however, claimed that their organization had always admitted members of the darker race and added that about fifteen hundred black women are now in that union. It was claimed these women join the union, as soon as they learn the aims of the organization. According 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. His final declaration as to union policy was of such a nature as to encourage those who have sought to broaden the outlook for economic equality. He said: Secretary Baroff has not only enunciated broad and liberal policy toward the Negro, but he has hit upon the best and most effective 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 unions, the outlook for the workers of all races and colors, will be immeasurably improved. May the Ladies' Garment Workers live up to the policy outlined by their sagacious secretary! The story of remarkable growth of an insurance concern, as told in The Age of August 25, was an interesting revelation of the processes of business development. Within a quarter of a century the company referred to the National Benefit Life of Washington, which started with a cash capital of six dollars, has increased its authorized capital stock to $250,000. The insurance in force reported at twenty million dollars, with reserve fund of $465,592. To carry on this The Age failed to make its record square with his ideals, was kind enough to prepare the way for his criticism by the following endorsement: I am glad to confirm, as my opinion, the views expressed by Editor Adams of the Birmingham Reporter, printed in years of August 25, respecting the improvement in The New York Age and the good work you have kept up these many years. I should like three or four more copies of this issue and enclose $1 in payment; I think they are worth that much. The Age is not insensible to praise or criticism, especially when either sentiment is constructive and based on discriminating review of the foundation for such expression. We welcome such critics as the writer of the communication quoted above, because of his sincere interest in the welfare of the race, which has been attested more by deeds than by words. UNIONISM AND THE EXODUS Another phase of the migration from the South was presented through the daily papers last week, in the charge made by some New York labor union officials, that Northern employers of labor are using extensive propaganda to induce Negroes to leave, in order to give said employers a supply of cheap labor.

His final declaration as to union policy was of such a nature as to encourage those who have sought to broaden the outlook for economic equality. He said: The Negroes are as welcome in the garment trade as any one. We are doing our best to keep race prejudice out of labor unions. It is unhealthy in any organization and would be fatal in labor unions. Secretary Baroff has not only enunciated a broad and liberal policy toward the Negro, but he has hit upon the best and most effective 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 unions, the outlook for the workers of all races and colors, will be immeasurably improved.

The story of remarkable growth of an insurance concern, as told in The Age of August 25, was an interesting revelation of the processes of business development. Within a quarter of a century the company referred to, the National Benefit Life of Washington, which started with a cash capital of six dollars, has increased its authorized capital stock to $250,000. The insurance in force is reported at twenty million dollars, with a reserve fund of $465,502. To carry on this business the company has a force of 1,200 employees, 110 district managers and assistants, 40 local agents and 930 field agents. The company adopted the old line reserve plan in 1919 and is now doing business in the District of Columbia, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. In a short time it proposes to extend its field to Tennessee, Kansas, Arkansas, Alabama, North Carolina and Missouri. It issues a variety of industrial and ordinary life policies, calculated to meet the needs of all classes of applicants. This business was built up largely through the faith and foresight of its organizer, S. W. Rutherford of Lynchburg, Va., reinforced by character and energy. The institution from the beginning has been owned and conducted entirely by members of the race. It has an unbroken record of twenty five annual dividends paid to stockholders, with 125,000 policyholders who have shagged its benefits. Its assets now total three quarters of a million dollars. The insurance business among Negroes has been stimulated by the fact that many of the white companies decline to accept applicants of that face, or if accepted load their policies with an additional premium charge. There is no reason why companies controlled by Negroes should not do this business acceptably, if their rates are founded on an equitable basis. Twenty-five years in the business should have carried companies like the National Benefit beyond the experimental stage. The expansion into new territory therefore becomes a matter of increasing the capital invested and meeting the more rigid requirements of such States as New York. With the continuance of the sale and same policy that has characterized Comments of The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors Comments of The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors these companies promoted by the race, we may look; for their unlimited expansion in this field. The growth of business along The announcement in the Denver Star that Pearl Porter had re-entered the coal business, suggested another instance of feminine enterprise. But the use of the masculine pronoun vetoed that idea, as the item ran: He has contracted with several churches to take a car of coal, reducing very substantially the cost of winter fuel. He suggests the same for several families to reduce the cost of fuel. Mr. Porter is a live wire in the business. At all events the man who can distribute coal by the carload in these days is a jewel. Former Governor Cole Blease of South Carolina, at a conference for the discussion of inter-racial relations, held in Columbia, predicted the loss of political power to the South as a result of Negro migration. With the shift of population, the result will eventually be fewer Southern Congressmen and more Northern representatives. The ex-Governor has greater foresight than the average Southern politician. The Weekly Whisper, a new addition to the race press in Washington, D. C., reproduced the editorial from The Act, entitled "What the Ministers Can Do," in the proper distribution of the migrants from the South, with the following comment: It is sincerely hoped that the ministers will cooperate with The Age in this matter. It is a duty that calls all of us. Let's get on the job and stay there. The ministers throughout New York State and New Jersey should be able to advise us as to the openings in the smaller towns and cities for industrious workers coming from the South. The Detroit Independent inquires anxiously "Are You Following a Star?" and quotes Emerson's advice: "Hitch your wagon to a star." Wagons are out of date. Even the farmers are using motors and tractors. In her column of "Book Chat" in the New Standard, a monthly magazine published at New Orleans, Miss Mary White Owington in reviewing the "Negro Year Book," said: One of the interesting bits of odd information is that of the Negro towns in our United States. There are sixy eight of these towns. The largest, Buxton, Iowa, 5,000 population, has approximately 1,000 whites. That in itself is an interesting item, and one would like to know of the relation at Buxton between black and white. The next in size are Brooklyn, Ill., ill; Boley, Okla., 1,000 each. Mound Bayou, of which we once heard much, has only 750. New Jersey has a Negro town, Snow Hill, with a population of 1,250. This is a sample of the interesting nuggets that may be extracted from the mine of racial information compiled by Monroc N. Work and published by the Tuskegee Institute. As a laborious and painstaking piece of work it deserves all the praise lavished upon it. The Florida Sentimel recently made an urgent plea for public band concerts, saying: Jacksonville should have more music which could be enjoyed by the public at large. It should be where every man can hear and enjoy it. Big and progressive cities that are concerned with forming good ideas so that the life of the city will be bettered have public band concerts. The white citizens of this city have them Why not we? We have enough bands. To have hands play only on special occasions and then funeral dirge, is misusing them so far as the true purposes of music are concerned. Just how much would enter into the moral and the social life of the city as a result of public band concerts we do not realize. That Jacksonville needs things elevating in its public life is evident. Aside from a Y. M. C. A., we know of no better way than through music. Some of the fraternal organizations which hire bands for certain purposes could present band concerts to the public and win the public's favor for this as well as for anything else. The Sentinel is right, public band concerts contribute greatly to, the pleasure of the population of the larger cities in tropical and sub-tropical climates. Those who have witnessed a plaza filled with daily glad people of both sexes, marching sedately up and down to the strains of music, can testify to the mollifying influence of music on the human temperament. Let the band play on. In discussing the cause of crimes which have resulted in the determination of the county police authorities to close certain all night dancing places, the Savannah Tribune said: On the west side where the killings and shooting took place is doted with many churches. The question naturally arises, what are they doing for the betterment of the community? Many of our churches are guilty of doing nothing whatever other than raising money to pay preachers, purchase a suit of clothes or build a church. The morals of the people are not looked after nor the proper religious murtage given the young people. Until the church people and hordes of preachers in this community awake to their great responsibility conditions will not improve. This may sound severe, but undoubtedly there exists simple justification for such strictures. The raising of purses for pastors seems to constitute the shrewd aim and choice of certain conferences. racial lines is dependent not only on capital, but on character and energy applied in the right direction. Churches afflicted with this type of ministerial grafters are rarely an addition to the welfare work of the community. "Man power for Missouri's steel industry" is seen by the Kansas City Cull in the trains from the South that are disgorging thousands of Negroes, who will never go back. It continued: The fires of prosecution have heated the melting pot and we are the overflow. Unlike the east, and the north central Missouri will not have much re-adjusting to do, to assimilate Negro migrants. Many of our new citizens will be already skilled in steel production. Out of Tennessee and Alabama trained men will come and these together with an immense quantity of common labor can be our bid for places in the new industry. It is granted that no superior can be found to the Negro common laborer. For contentment, for maximum production with minimum overseeing, for loyalty to employer, we have no equal. Our one drawback is the difficulty of housing due to prejudice against our race. If St. Louis steel masters will see in us the workers they want, and be forehanded in arranging living quarters, the hands that made the South bloom will transplant their service in Missouri. Then our state, taking advantage of its central location, and the riches of nature, can grasp industrial leadership to the Mobs Breed Mobbers. (From Macon, Ga., Telegraph) It's the same old sardid story. Prisoners rendered impotent and helpless by the law and then the law failing to give them protection which it guarantees. Officers start from Macon with a prisoner to go to the county of the crime. They give no thouhtgt to the certain danger they are encountering. Their prisoner is taken from them by men who have more nerve and courage than the officers. The prisoner is hanged to a tree without any evidence of having been identified or given a dog's chance. It is done upon the theory that if he isn't guilty, it will serve as a good lesson to other people and make them quake to think of what awful penalties attach to evil-doers. The other case was one of a mob attacking the jail in Blackley County and taking a prisoner therefrom and hanging him. Then the Governor as usual, declares himself, says mob violence must stop—and there everybody stops but the mob. There have been all kinds of suggestions as to how to put an end to mob violence. Not one of them has been adopted, or if adopted, has proved the leat deterrent. And the lynching goes merrily on. We cannot excuse ourselves by saying the lynchings are not the terrible and unspeakable crime. That would be quite fine, if it were true. But, in the first place, it is not true in every case. In the next place, one lynching but gives the mob a taste for blood. And upon more blood it must feed. And when there are no Negroes to be chased or hung, then the mob, become hold by its success, takes up the trail after white people. Witness the whippings in and around Macon. That is but an outgrowth of the mob spirit. It is said by some that the white people who were whipped were but sorry cusses anyway, and everybody is glad they were whipped. That was what was said about the Negro rapists. it was fine for a starter. But after lynching a few rapists the mob saw what it could do and rather liked it, and then it ceased to be careful about the guilt or innocence of the victim. The mob had gathered for murderous purposes and one victim suited as well as another. After the inclusion of innocent or untried Nergoes, then the mob spirit included punishment of one kind or another of sorry white trash, as the mob termed them. After this has been tried a while, then better white trash will come on for handling, and the country where safety of person and human liberty were guaranteed under the Constitution will no longer be such a country. Every man must carry his own shotgun and be his own defender, and if anybody tries to interfere with him, he will be justified in shooting. For if there is no protection in officers and jails, what other redress or hope has a man than his own self-reliance? It has been proposed to empower the Governor to remove from office any Sheriff who loses his prisoner, if in the opinion of the Governor the loss was due to carelessness, cowardice or neglect. Well it won't have to be a smart man to anticipate the effect of such a law. As arule, Sheriffs are powerful factors in local politics and Governors being embryonic United States Senators, are not going to take any chances with removing Sheriffs from office. So, some kind of whitewash or kalsomine will always be made up ready to be slathered on any case that arises. It is claimed that there is a law in China that if a bank fails, the president of that bank loses his head. There is no if nor and no excuses. There are no bank failures in China. If the State of Georgia were really in earnest about wanting to stop mob activities and outrages, a law to the effect that is a Sheriff or one deputies lost a prisoner, that Sheriff should be automatically removed from office and made religious for other office—if that were the law there would be no lost prisoners. If the officers' lives or welfare were endangered like the prisoner's, they would dodge the mob or stand it off. This present-day plan, of having people in charge of prisoners, people who exhibit neither ingenuity, inscrination nor courage and who come back with the sorry-story that their man was taken away from them by a mob that was fierce and scarcely, is the proper one of we want the mob spirit and activities to grow. But if we want law to be respected, law must be respected. The intelligent direction of the company towards centers of industry where ed is being facilitated by the other cent of the Negro press. It is with emphasis cannot be placed on the necessity for proper housing. Editor J. B. Bass of the Cincinnati Eagle has been reading the treaties those who prefer to steal tar to work.

Alabama Offers a Larger Reward for Limb Than Life By JESSE O. THOMAS Field secretary, National Urban League, Atlanta, Ga. Editor of Tue. New Year Art According to the newspaper of Alabama legislature now in session has enacted a law, to which Governor Brannon has affixed his command making it a felony for labor agents to operateae in the State of Alabama for any other state. Governor Brannon pledges to keep vigil over the police force of the state, in order to that this law is enforced to prevent the State of Alabama its Negro citizens. The law is designed primarily to prevent persons from entering Negro to leave Alabama by putting a penalty upon all persons operating in the state in such a manner as construed to be causing Negroes to leave Alabama. Each agent is to pay $5,000 obd in each county, an additional $5,000 for each through which the labor travel from original point of contact to the borders of the state. The present Leiglature has not acted any laws calculated to protect and safe-guard the Nero against violence and lynch law. Between 1851 and 1919 there have been 251 Nero lynched in Alabama (that is, the outside world heard of itself received $5,000 for these victims. Aside from the violation of violating laws and the mandment "Thou shalt not kill an economic and productive power state was very materially reduced the murdering of these 251 persons that if the present Leiglature ceased primarily with the phase of the Nero's limbition also may be called to the if phase of the Nero later seems to be no possibility in an appeal on any higher ground. In her sister state Georgia the insitature that has just adjourned during the present week is unable attention to the need of teaching labor agents in to leave Georgia.

When the State literature becomes more concerned and isolate more on behalf of the pro of the Negro's life and the happiness, the operation negats will be rendered very non-effective.

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. PIT-a-PAT Columbia. S. C. The New York Age Bureau 1512 Lincoln street.

Games Gourdin to Defend World's Jumping Title Against De Hart Hubbard—Edwards of Great Britain, Sensational Sprinter, to Run at 100, 200 and 400 Meters. That the colored athlete is making his presence felt in track and field athletics not only in this country but abroad as well, will be very clearly brought to mind Saturday afternoon, September 8, when the Wilco Athletic Association stages the pre-Olympic games at the Yankee Stadium. ```markdown ``` Entry to the events being contested at these games is by invitation only, and none except the foremost stars of this country and Europe were invited. In the regular course of events invitations were extended to seven Negro athletes who because of their achievements on track and field are ranked as leaders in their particular specialties. These seven have accepted. The athletes are De Hart Hubbard of the University of Michigan present national and collegiate champion in the running broad and hop, step and jump; Ned Gourdin formerly at Harvard and present holder of the world's record of 25 feet 3 inches in the running broad jump; Harry F. V. Edward of London England champion of Great Britian in the 100, 220 and 440 yards all of which he won on one afternoon, a remarkable series of performances; R. Earl Johnston of Pittsburgh present national five mile-champion; Arthur Washington of Chicago, who a fortnight ago won the Central A. A. U. 100 yard championship in 9-4-5; Fred West, the Washington and Jefferson University football and track star who displayed his versatility at the Pennsylvania relay carnival last spring by winning the College Pentatlon championship, a five event all-around test, and the following day helped his relay team break a relay record; and Dewey Rogers, the former University of Pennsylvania quarter miler, who contributed his share to the world's record breaking performance returned by the U. of P. four for the ones-mile relay, a record which stands as the world's best. One of the finest exhibitions of broad jumping ever witnessed is looked for when Hubbard and Gourdin contest for premier honors in the running broad jump at this meet. Gourdin was the first athlete who ever cleared 25 feet in the running broad jump, and b fore he accomplished the feat athletic experts freely admitted that the world's record at that time credited to O'Connor of Ireland, of 24 feet, 11 inches would never be broken. Gourdin accomplished what was thought impossiblilbe, but less than two years later, Hubbard comes along and jumps over 25 feet on two different occasions in competition, and has bettered Gourdin's mark in practice. The contest between these two great colored men will be worth going miles to see. Edwards comes to this country with a remarkable record. He ran third to Paddock and Kirsgey the two American sprinters, in the Olympic 100 meter championship at Antwerp three years ago, and third to Woodring and Paddock in the 200 meter race. These two fine performances were turned in by Edwards despite the fact that he was suffering from a strained tention at the time. He has fully recovered from the leg trouble that handicapped his in many important races overseas. Edwards will not only run in the 100-meter race but will be a strong contender for premier honors in the 200 and 400-meter events, provided the order of events is so arranged as to permit him to race in all three events. Earl Johnston's fame as a distance runner has spread over the length of this country. He was America's second best distance runner at the Olympic games at Antwerp, but had the misfortune to be saize with a stitch in his mouth gite 10,000 meter rest, and had to drop out. However, when he returned to the United States, he proved his worth by winning the national five and ten-mile and cross country championships. He was unable to leave his business to train and race last fall and winter and therefore was not seen in many races around New York, but he has been training hard this year, and is in hopes of showing a performance at the Wilco games that will warrant the American Olympic Committee considering him for a place on the 1974 Olympic team. Fred West, Arthur Washington and Dewey Rogers are expected to show top form in their various events. "Pa Williams' Gal" at The Lafayette Theatre Opening September 10 Here it is, just what you have been waiting for, a race drama without preachment or propaganda, by a colored playwright and with an all colored cast "Pa William's Gal" is a story of Negro life by F. H. Wilson; author of "Confidence and Race Pride" and other successful plays. Pa William has promised a dying friend that his daughter would marry the friend's son. The daughter has other ideas, however, and although she has been an ideal and truthful daughter, she goes contrary to his wishes. When f. H. father finds she has done so, he drives her from his home and completely dislikes her. Whether his daughter is right or Pa William is justified in his stand is worked out in the story. The principal characters are played by Richard B. Harrison, the distinguished actor and actress, Marke Young, Walter Smith, Dolores Haskins, Rosalie McClendon, Morris McKenney, F. H. Wilson, H. Lawrence Freeman and other well known actors. "Pa Wittinne's Gal" will be the attraction at the Lafayette Theatre for our work, Announcing Monday, September 11. JACK JOHNSON AGAIN BARRED BY N. JERSEY BOXING COMMISSION The New Jersey Boxing Commission has again bared Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, from participating in boxing bouts in that state. Johnson has been matched to fight Billy Miske at the Broad A.C. in Newark, on September 12, but the Commission refused to give its sanction to the bout. His first disbarment came about through a ruling of the New York and New Jersey Commissions, which forbade anyone over thirty-eight to take part in a boxing contest. But this ruling has become void in New Jersey as the Commission of that state sanctioned a bout between Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard when it was known that Willard was beyond the age limit.

J., sometime during the month of October. Siki conferred with Rickard on Tuesday and indicated his willingness to meet Wills or any other fighter, and said he would begin training at once. Wills is also willing to meet Siki according to the best information obtainable, although Mullins has not yet signed up. At the conclusion of his conference with Siki, Rickard gave out the following statement: "I want to match Siki with Harry Willis. He looked big and strong enough to me today to be able to give the colored heavyweight champion a great fight. He said that that he weighed above 185, and he looked it. I have already taken this proposition up with Paddy Mullins and expect to be able to give Siki a definite answer when he meets me in my office tomorrow afternoon. If Mullins overlooks this bout he is foolish, as it would have great drawing power. It 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 business I believe the match can be arranged. I don't think that there will be any objection rained against this affair by the Boxing Commission of New Jersey or any of the other boards." COLORED BOXERS WIN IN MIXED BOUTS AT COMMONWEALTH CLUB Saturday night, September 1, was a big night for the colored fighters at Commonwealth Sporting Club. Three star ten-round bouts were staged, two being mixed bouts, and the colored fighters were returned winner in each of them. In the first ten round Wilbur 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 could not stand the pace of his dusty opponent, 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 decision over Willie Phieffer. This was also a fast and bitter encounter with action all of the way. Saunders was able to take all that Willie could hand out and came back strong enough to hand out some punches of his own. The colored 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. Darden, who substituted for Sandy Taylor, was fast and tough, but did not have the skill to prove a close opponent for McVey. He showed his gameness by absorbing considerable punishment during the bout, and although beaten, he fought back and seldom resorted to clinching. The judging of the bouts and also the refereeing was much better than heretofore. The officials were: Referee, Jack Dorman; judges, D. Dunker and Ben Arkansaw; timekeeper, Eddie Musson.

One of the most tangible propositions yet advanced for the bringing of Harry Wills and Jack Dempsey together in the squared ring in battle for the world's heavyweight championship title, now held by the white man, is brought out by a visit to New York City last week by Alfred M. Phillips, junior, mayor of Stamford, Conn., who is also one of the dominating figures in that state, politically speaking.

It is understood, though not actually expressed, that Mayor Phillips has the ear of Governor Templeton, and that his statements concerning the promotion in Connecticut of a Dempsey-Wills match are based on definite assurance that the legal machinery of the comomwealth will move smoothly toward the consummation of any project the mayor sees fit to guarantee. Mayor Phillips Talks. Mayor Phillips, in company with Tom O'Rouke, former matchmaker, at the Polo Grounds, New York City, was at the Yale Club, Manhattan, on Thursday of last week and he explained to a group of interested newspaper men just what could be done. Stamford, in the way of giving Harry Wills, the great Negro contender for heavy-weight honors a chance to meet Jack Dempsey. "I am in no way intersted in the promotion of fistic affairs in an way, shape or form, other than from a standpoint of civic interest," stated the standpoint at the start. His honor is a clean-cut, successful appearir, citizen, who appeared to mean just what he was saying, and who impressed his listeners most favorably. "I will say," continued his honor, "that I have looked into the question of the Dempsey-Wills match pretty thoroughly and I think I can speak not only for Stamford, b. for State as well (and I believe I can speak for Connecticut) when I say that we are of the opinion that the Negro champion is entitled to a chance at the title; and we are not strong for the idea of a white champion, hiding behind the creeper. "A straw vote was recently len in Stamford, and I am in a position to say that our very best citizens are strongly in favor of the contest. Thomas F. Reilly, who is in the restaurant business in Stamford, has presented a proposition for the promotion of the Dempsey-Wills match which has my thorough approval. His plan as outlined to me is as follows: "Mr. Reilly has an option on a suitable site where inside of twenty days he can build an arena to accommodate 80,000 spectators. If Jack Dempsey can be signed the match will be on." daturday, September 8, 1923 n.; Mayor Tells at Why and How get Jack Dempsey based Heavyweight Champion in Which Colored Boxer Will Chance—If Kearns Signs. able propositions yet advanced Wills and Jack Dempsey to battle for the world's heavy- now held by the white man, to New York City last week mayor of Stamford, Conn, inating figures in that state, with the priviso, of course, that he deceit Firpo, about the middle of October. The date favored will be the last day of the 'World's Series. Reilly is prepared to start work on the area the day after the 'Dempsey-Firpo' box. The prices of admission will be from $3 to $50." Stamford's Interest The only interest that Stamford has in the match, outside of the fact that it would be a good boost for the class, according to his honor, is that collection will be taken at the fun for the purpose of raising a fund for building a public athletic field and golf course. Paddy Mullins, manager of Hare Wills, in commenting on the Stamford preposition, stated that he had no business with any one from Connecticut, other than a Mr. Dwyer, of Bridgeport. Mullens declared that he intended to go through with his claim of the championship on behalf of Wilt. Jack Kearns, when queried to the Stamford idea, said it didn't sound to very good to him as yet, and anyway he didn't care to discuss the business until the Firpo engagement had been disposed of. Only a few weeks back Kearns was telling the world that he was ready to have Dempsey take on Wills within three weeks after the meeting with the Argentine giant. How Dapper Jack expects to make good on his bluff unless he talks business very quickly might seem hard to explain. But it isn't. Rickard has probably slipped him the word that talking about a Wills, fight just now might tend to take the edge off the big muss on September 14.

W. H. MOSES, Pastor In The Realm of Music By Luclen H. White Tells America, on First Visit Since 1912, That He Has Learned, in Past Five Years, Method of Pianoforte Playing That Makes Him Foremost Genius. Musicians of all classes are interested in the coming to America at this time of Vladimir de Pachmann, the great Russian pianist, now in his 75th year, who declares emphatically that he did not master the true secret of great pianoforte playing until five years ago, after he had attained 70 years of age. The new method acquired by de Pachmann, according to his own words, has placed him as the foremost genius of the world on the pianoforte, and given him the right to "shake the hands of Franz Liszt and approach him as an equal." The distinguished artist reached New York Tuesday on the White Star Pier Magazine, and his first declaration to newspaper folk was to the effect that he is now the world's greatest pianoforte player. In his hotel suite he demonstrated the new method he has acquired, using a table in the center of his drawing room, shoving aside his breakfast dishes. He showed how his music became perfectly stiff and how his fingers moved with great smoothness. As he played on the imaginary piano he sang the theme of the concerto was supposed to be playing. He spring his first surprise when asked the question, "Who are the great paints of the world?" by answering, with great animation and without the firstsemblance of conceit, "Why, I are the great player—the greatest player." Another surprise followed when he declared that Rachmannsoff, a fellow Russian, who has enjoyed the reputation among Americans of being in the first rank of world musicians, both as a pianist and as a composer, was no longer than a third class pianist. Nor will the great de Pachmann have to do with modern music—he knows nothing of Debussy, Cesar Frank and others. I am impressurably encouraged to find that with regard to Debussy there is one of the truly great whose opinion coincides with mine—for several times I have said and written that I had no sympathy with Debussy. The interview with de Pachmann was somewhat as follows. He was asked: "But what of Paderewski?" "He is not a great player," said de Pachmann. "He is a good pianist, but not a great pianist. Also good pianists are Busson and Rosenthal. Gedowsky is a good technician, but the greatest of living composers." "My God! he said. "No such people exist for me. He is second class; as he is third class." Joel Hoimann did not come in for a very high recommendation from De Pachmann. "I heard him play when he was nine years old," he said. "He was a marvelous genius for a child, marvelous. But since then his playing has grown steadily worse. Hoimann is not a great pianist, although he plays well at times." So Gedowsky is in your opinion the greatest living composer? "Yes, replied the pianist, "the only living composer. He is the first great composer since Brahma." Of Paderewski's compositions, De Pachmann went off in a high pitched series of laughs. "Ho Ho!" he roared, "that minute and that concerto—Trash! He cannot compose." De Pachmann, who knew Franz Liszt and regarded him as the greatest all-pianoette performer, said that up to his (De Pachmann's) seventieth year he had played only trash, just as the man who are called artists are playing today, but since he has mastered his new method of a stiff wrist, he felt he had at last "shake the hands of Franz Liszt and approach him as an equal." The pianist, after talking freely, said he did not wish to say unpleasant things that would hurt other musicians, as musicians are intolerably jealous. Then he added: "The only critics in the world are in Berlin, Rome and Bos- "They are capricious," he smiled and then said, "American audiences are so intelligent and sympathetic. I am glad to be back." De Pachmann has not been heard in America since May, 1972. He lives in a magnificent palace in Rome and recently completed a tour of England during which he played at forty-two concerts. He comes to the United States for a tour, which is said to represent one of the largest contracts ever made with a foreign pianist and out of which he will net not less than $100,000. His first concert will be at Carnegie Hall, October 11. The Russian pianist is now seventy-five, his body is small and slightly shaped, and his long, wiry grey hair is combed back in the style of Liszt. He carries a Russian passport which was issued under the imperial reign of the Romanoffs, thirty years ago, and as he will have no other than his original passport, the various governments in which he travels have added the necessary additional leaves. De Pachmann said he has grown intensely religious, and says the pater tutor twelve times a day. Providence alone he thanks for the inspiration in making him the greatest of all pianists. "Nothing could be finer or more superb than what I play," he said, with tremor; "it is marvelous. When I hear what I play I say 'it is finished—a perfect thing. Thank God.'" Modern music is an abomination in the ears of De Pachmann. He knows nothing of Cesar Franck, Dobessey or the Continentalis and will have none of them. American jazz, he said, is horrible. "I hate it from all my heart," he said. "It is a silly, monotonous pound, and always for beats. One-two-three-four. I chose my door on the ship to keep it away from my ears." De Pachmann was accompanied by E. Pallotelli, his manager; and a small staff of assistants. The World of Religion The World of Religion "But what of Paderewki?" "How about Rachmaninoff?" D. Rachmaninoff's hands rose in the air. "My Godd!" he said. "No such people, he is third class." Josef Holman did not come in for a Pachmann. "I heard him play when he was mingling marvelous genius for a child, marvelous. He steadily wrote. Holmann is not a great play. So Godwsky is in your opinion the best. You replied the pianist, "the only live composer since Brahma." Of Paderewski's compositions, De Pachmann is of laugh. "Ho Ho!" he routed, "that minute and compose." De Pachmann, who knew Franz Liszt, all pianoforte performers, said that up star he had played only trash, just as the mids, but since he has mastered his new solo at last "shake the hands of Franz Liszt." The pianist, after talking freely, said things that would hurt other musicians, and then he added: "The only critics in the world." "What of the New York musical critic? They are capricious," he smiled and said intelligent and sympathetic. I am glad. De Pachmann has not been heard in a magnificent palace in Rome and recited during which he played at forty-two concerts in a town, which is said to represent one with a foreign pianist and out of which he first concert will be at Carnegie Hall, October. The Russian pianist is now seventy-five years old, and his long, wiry grey hair is on. He carries a Russian passport which was the Romanoff, thirty years ago, and as he pays the various governments in which he adduces leaves. De Pachmann said he has grown interest twice a day. Providence alone makes him the greatest of all pianists. "Nothing could be finer or more superb than it is marvelous. When I hear what perfect thing, Thank God." Modern music is an abomination in the pathing of Cesar Franck, Debussy or the other American jazz, he said, is horrible. "I hate it from all my heart," he said. He and always for beats. One-two-three-for-keep it away from my ears. De Pachmann was accompanied by E. P. staff of assistants. The World of Mother Zion Church. Sunday, September 2, marked the beginning of the fall season. It is the time when those who have sought relief from the intense heat of the summer by resorting to the seashores and the mountain peaks, begin to return to their places where they are employed. The church feels the effect of these seasons. Although the attendance is less active during the summer, at the opening of the fall season, it again winters the influx of regular attendance upon the services of worship and enjoys the opportunity of restoring into the work of inspiring the hearts of men and women in the noble work of moral intellectual and spiritual as well as material betterment of the people of the community. At Mother Zion Church we not only hold the return to the city of many who had been away, but also the return of the pastor, Dr. Brown, from his annual vacation. There was the journal lature numbers of worshipers. Dr. Brown demonstrated last a relief for a week or two from stramine duty was a boon and a blessing combined. His text from John 5:17 and 1 Corinthians 3:9, speaking on "The Dig of Labor." "The Church in all its branches has special duty and mission to the welfare in these days, and another divort the church from codeavowing so meet titha duty and to discharge the mission. The church must not forget for an instant that its Founder was "the carpenter's son," and that His heart was quick with sympathy for all who labored and were heavy laden. The church will be always right in its relation to any and all people when it follows with careful and intelligent consciousness the clear examples of Jesus Christ. "Everyone present this morning knows of the present crisis confounding the nation, as a result of the document coal strike. The President with many others are seeking its solution. Wisdom and patience are both required for we have seen that long investigations are necessary to bring out of all the facts in order that justice may be given. "The pulpit alone cannot settle all of these troubles, but it can help. It can help by burying before men the mind of Christ and to the principle of the gospel which He preached. When Jesus ascended to Heaven, he did not leave His disciples an organization or a set program. He came like little spirit. The hope of life would live in the spirit of Christ children in their hearts and not worshiped played in their hearts." of himself. He needs sympathy and direction. Some of us in the north have objected to his coming, but his coming has done much in the north. It has given impetus to our business. The southern Negro has made a larger place in the north for the related doctor, lawyer, teacher, etc. He is making it possible for us to have larger churches. He is causing more people to buy homes. His coming means more political power and recognition. His coming also means more prejudice and more racial conflicts. Like the emigrant who comes to our shores, he needs to be absorbed in our social and religious life." It was one of these plain, practical, and beneficial sermons that are already responsible for the charity, large membership, its tremendous success in the ten years it has been in Marlboro and its piety in the civic life of the community. At its conclusion fifteen persons were admitted into the church. The Sunday school, convened at 2 o'clock. We had with us Dr. J. T. Williams, of Charlotte, N. C., who was at one time United States Consul to Sierra Leona, West Coast of Africa, in which capacity he served for eight years. Dr. Williams made an inspiring address. The Sunday-school collection amounted to $25.17. At 8 p. m., Dr. Brown preached an annual sermon to the Rebecca Chapter, No. 16, Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Moose, Inc., of New York. The regular monthly meeting of the Brotherhood will be held Thursday evening, September 6, at the Brotherhood House. The regular monthly meeting of the Sunday-school board will be held on Friday evening, September 7, in the trustee room. All officers and teachers are requested to be present. Next Sunday the pastor will preach at 10:45 a.m. At 3:30 p.m. baptism and Holy Communion will be administered. The sermon will be preached by Rev. S. McNeil, presiding elder of the Hudson River District. Dr. Brown will preach at 8 p.m., to the United Sons of Georgia.

The first quarterly conference will be held Monday, September 10. All members are requested to be present. Rush Memorial Church. At the eleven o'clock services last Sunday morning, Dr. Oliver delivered an interesting and educational sermon on "Church Membership". The text from which he selected his subject is found in Acts 2:42. The speaker laid great stress on loyalty, which should be exercised by everyone who are members of the church. Membership must be supported in order for the work to progress, and there is no institution whose membership should be as loyal as the Church of God. Four young men joined the church, which gave manifestations of their intentions to support the church whose membership they claimed. Holy Communion was observed at 3 o'clock. At this hour the Rev. A. Jackson greeted an inspiring and uplifting sermon to a large, enthusiastic audience. His text is found in Hebrews 10:12. Again at 8 o'clock, Dr. Oliver came back and prepared a wonderful sermon on "The Happy Righteous Man". Text found in Psalm 1.3. The speaker gave three interesting outlines on this discourse and elaborated on each one so plainly that even the little child could glean the meaning of the sermon. (1) His Character—What He Is; (2) His Conduct—What He Does; (3) His Condition—What He Has. The Fall rally is making great headway. More energy and earnestness of heart sincerity of purpose is being manifested by all auxiliaries now than ever before. Dr. and Mrs. Oliver have just regained from their vacation and every member is asked to join forces with them. The plans of the work, for the year were made by the pastor and they are being carried out. The proceeds of this rally will be used for the renovation of the basement installing of a grill recreational center, etc. Everyone is cordially invited to come and help us carry an. Among the many out of town visitors who worshipped with Rush members last Sunday were Mrs. J. C. Caldwell and daughter, Miss Beulah Caldwell. St. Mark's M. E. Church. Sunday, September 2, was a red letter day in the annals of St. Mark's M. E. Church. The services in the church and cent were attended by record congregations throughout the entire day. The pastor, Dr. John W. Robinson, was the speaker at the morning service in the church and thrilled his hearers during his eloquent and forceful discourse. Text, St. Matthew, 7th chapter and 12th verse. Theme: "The Golden Rule." At the evening service which was held in the tent at 137th and 138th streets, St. Nicholas and Edgecombe avenues. Dr. Robinson preached an able sermon to the E. Belle Johnson Circle. The ladies of the Circle presented a beautiful and inspiring appearance as they marched into the tent, all becoming gowned in white, headed by the president, Mrs. E. Belle Johnson Pitcairn. The text of Dr. Robinson's sermon was: The Acts, 7th chapter and 11st verse. Theme: "Salvation each, necessary to all." In the course of his sermon, the pastor laid special emphasis upon the ammonition that, "Except these abide in the ship, we cannot be saved." Rev. R. A. Bolden, associate pastor, preached a powerful sermon in the tent at the morning service. At 3 o'clock Bishop Luther B. Wilson was the occupant of the pulpit in the tent and delivered a masterly sermon, which was listened to with respect attention by everyone in the large congregation which filled the tent to overflowing. The day was particularly significant because it was the last day of the tent services. Dr. Robinson and the members of the church are very enthusiastic over the wonderful success that has crowned their efforts during the nine weeks of the tent meetings. During the day the leaders in charge of the "Yard vipes" turned in $2,022.50.

A very interesting time was had and a great deal of enthusiasm aroused. amplified to $2,025.5K. The total amount raised for the B. Building Fund for the erection of the new church during the nine weeks of the tent services just ended was $15,825.9K. The pastor and members feel justified in being jubilant over their splendid process, especially as $15,825.9K was their objective at the beginning of the services. The Sunday-school was well attended and the collection small. The chief of praise cannot be said of Dr. Robinson and the group leaders who labored so unitingly and valiantly to bring about such magnificent results during the past nine weeks. Great credit is also due the vazious church organizations which served refreshments every evening during the tent services thereby contributing very materially towards the general financial results which caused such high elation among the members of the church. The pastor, Dr. Robinson and the officers and members of St. Mark's extend heartfelt thanks and profound gratitude to the friends of the church including the clergymen who have spoken at the meetings and their choirs and members who accompanied them, not only for their presence but also for their financial contributions. First Emmangel Church The services at the church Sunday morning were very impressive and helpful. Pastor Bolden preached from the following text: "Have not. I commanded Thee? be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." Joshua 1:9 He said, Now that Moses was dead Joshua who was a minister unto Moses became leader of the people. Joshua was what you might call a Saviour of the people, while Moses was a man of God. The facts given to Joshua were literal facts. It was a literal fact that they would come into a country; Canaan land, and that they would undergo many struggles and even death before they reached this promised land. It was a literal fact that Moses was dead, but the spirit of Moses still lived. The children of Israel wandered in the wilderness for forty years, many many hundreds of thousands started with Moses and all but two died, Caleb and Joshua. Two generations of men, women and children died in the wilderness. The Lord gave Joshua a commission, to go into the promised land, but He also told Joshua that he must be strong, courageous, not afraid, nor dismayed, and he would come into this land. As this lesson of Joshua comes to our minds, let us think how God has given each and every one of us a commission on this earth, no matter how small, we should each fulfill our work not with arrogance, but with humble submission, and we like Joshua must be strong, courageous, not atraid, nor dismayed and we will come into the great promised land.

The speaker dwelt at some length upon the kind and character of the faith of the men and women described in the text. Their faith was mingled with conventions of the certainty of the things they saw in vision an ennounce they lived, labored and died with this as their life stimulant. Faith said Dr. Hyder, always involves the unseen and saving faith always appropriates the substance of the thing promised. These heroes and heroines of faith all believed in the final triumph of social, industrial and political justice, they saw these great principles of righteousness and fair dealing across the centuries and acted upon them as though they were the settled policy of the social order. This in turn helped to draw the attention of the world to them as pioneers of a better civilization and a more humane social democracy. in the application of his text, Dr. Hyder said, the challenge of these heroes of the faith to the modern church and world is, for men high in authority as well as plain people to act out their professed in human brotherhood and a better social order; thus we can help to complete the great task they inaugurated. Communication was administered at night. One new member joined the church and one infant was baptized. Collection $125.

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. Part of 369th Infantry Spends Several Days at State Camp, Peckakill About two hundred and fifty members of the 369th Infantry, under command of Colonel Arthur Little, left the city on Friday afternoon for the State Camp, near Peckskill, N. Y., where they spent two weekends receiving inclement weather men made the tally of buses and returned to city on Tuesday, September 4. They were a company by a part of the band. The new armory of the 369th Regiment is rapidly nearing completion, the outside brick work having been completed last week, and the members of the regiment are hoping to move in by the first of October. Regiment were conducted at the camp on Sun September 2 by the annual chapel, the Rev. Dr. A. C. Garner, who specializes sermon to soldier boys.

Army, stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas, and a commander of a Kansas contingency of the Knights of Pythias, attending the Supreme Lodge; in New York City, was introduced to the organization by Cabonel Fillmore. 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. Mrs. Samuel Greene Is Hostess to Many Knights Attending Supreme Lodge Mrs. Samuel Y.

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.
