One of the most attractive of these buildings is the Bert William building — formally the home of the late Bert William at 2099 Seventh avenue, and one of the most interesting colored business New York is being run on the ground floor of this building. Mme. Vivien Dell Manufacturing Company, formerly located at 2376 Seventh avenue, is located on the ground floor in the building and the beautiful display of colored dolls and toys in the window has attracted the favorable attention at all passersby. Mme. Allione's new location is much larger than her former quarters and she has recently expanded her business in several ways — selling colored dolls, of which she is the originator and designer, toys and baby clothes. She has also moved her factory in which the dolls are made to Harlingen, across the street, from her store, and employs eight people in the factory and store. Pioneer Dell Maker Emmer Wryndone, her nephew, is manager of the business, Miss Elizabeth Garner is sales girl and F. M. McCoy the secretary. Mme. Allone is the pion, married woman in the country in this business, having learned doll design under the leading doll manufacturing company in the country. She has done much to teach the business to the colored arm of Harlem as well as to teach her to operate the power machine for making doll and baby clothes. Her skill in three electric power machines and during the busy season she expects to employ at least twelve people. Next to Mme. Allone at 2307 is the manager of Wilton L. Pollard. Mr. Pollard who is a native of the West Indies was for thirteen years a trusted employer in the P. N. Corset Company, a stock clerk, from whom he learned to finance. Four years ago he began amassing and selling corsets from home in Harlem. He was so successful at this that he was able to fit and establish his present business when the only one of its kind operated in New York. His shop taught all standard brands of corsets, little dresses and stockings, and he gave the inspection of the public. He was bred by his wife.

Saunders, of 289 Clifton place, Brooklyn, died Saturday, September 8, at his late home, after a long siege of illness. Mr. Saunders was one of the oldest residents of Brooklyn, and for forty years was an employee of the National Express Company. He was one of the leading members of the African Mutual Relief Association. The funeral was held from Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, the Rev. E. E. Tyler, pastor, Tuesday evening, and it was largely attended by friends of the family. Woman Dies in Fire. Mrs. Mamie F. Lynch, 54, who kept a small dry goods store at 322 East 51st street, was burned to death, early Monday morning by a fire which destroyed her store.

She is survived by a husband and three brothers, one of whom is Ernest Underhill of Underhill's Express. 237 Negro-Owned Taxicabs Are Being Operated For Service of Harlem People Cars Are Equal in Comfort and Easy-Riding Qualities to Any Others, and Are Operated on Lowest-Rate Meters 24 Colored Men Own 65 Shaw Yellow Cabs. News Briefs of General Interest Seven United States Navy destroyers were wrecked and lost on rocks off the California coast in a heavy fog on Saturday night, September 8. Twenty-five sailors are reported as having lost their lives, while a score of others are in the hospital at Santa Barbara. The navy vessels crashed on the rocks on Arguelo Light, seventy-five miles north of Santa Barbara. The flotilla was on a practice cruise. The dead men were trapped in their bunks on one vessel, the destroyer Young, which capsized within two minutes after striking. More than 500 sailors were rescued. In the same flig, the Pacific Mail liner Cuba was wrecked on a reef off the south end of San Miguel Island, thirty-five miles from Santa Barbara. The passengers and members of the crew were rescued by the destroyer Reno and the Standard Oil tanker W. J. Miller. The official announcement states that 23,000 persons were killed and 40,000 injured at Yokohama, Japan, in the recent earthquake disaster. In Tokio, 71 per cent, of the city was destroyed. In the Hakone district, 10,000 are dead. Landmarks and points along the Japanese coast have entirely disappeared and the shore line of Kamakura Bay has been raised. Tokio police report that 32,504 inquests had been held in the Honjo military clothing warehouses and yards alone. 35,000 dead, 140,000 injured, and 350,000 homes destroyed is the official report from Tokio. Many Americans are included among those reported missing. The recently issued American Jewish Year Book for 1923-24, Harry Schneiderman, editor, gives the information that 3,602,150 Jews live in America, and that nearly half of this number, or 1,643,012, live in New York City. There are fifteen and a half million Jews in the world, and less than one-fifth are in the United States. According to Boroughs, Manhattan has 657,101; Brooklyn, 604,380; The Bronx, 278,169; Queens, 83,194; and Richmond, 17,168. Most of the Jews in America live in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland, St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Detroit. While in Europe there are 10,536,755 Jews, there are only 83,794 in Palestine, fewer than are in any New York Borough save Richmond. The United States Naval dirigible, the ZR-1, the largest lighter-than-air vessel afloat anywhere in the world, sailed from its hangar at Lakehurst, N. J., and thrilled millions of people in New York City, Philadelphia, Trenton and other New Jersey cities in a flight that lasted 115 hours and covered fully six hundred miles. This superdreadnought is designed to serve as a scout for the army and navy, scouring the seas in a wide range in time of war for signs of enemy fleet movements. The ship is shaped like a cigar, 690 feet long, equipped with six Packard supercussion motors, and the first airship to be inflated with the new noncomustible helium gas. Thirty-four men made up the personnel of the officers' and crew, under command of Ralph D. Weyerhacher, Commander, J. S. N., the designer and builder, with Capt. Anton Heinan, a pupil of the German originator of the dirigible form of air craft, the Grant Zeppelin, at the pilot controls. Fittures furnished The Age by C. A. Davis of 110 West 135th street, owner of a Yellow Taxiac, shows that there are 237 Negro-owned taxicabs, piloted by colored chauffeurs, operating in Harlem and catering to citizens of the community. Of this number, 103 are "Yellow Taxiac," equipped with meters and run at lowest rate, i.e., 30 cents a mile. The remaining 134 cabs are of differ-ent makes, including the attractive and comfortable "Pennant," all of which run with the same low rate meter, at 30 cents per mile. These cabs are in active competition with taxicabs owned and operated by three companies that place an absolute ban upon the employment of colored men in any capacity, but who are only too willing to accept the considerable sum of money paid in as taxes by he colored people who use their cabs for transportation purposes. These companies—The Mogul Checker, Circle 7800 the Fay, Longacre 4900, and the American Yellow, Lenox 200—not only refuse to employ colored men as drivers, but also bar them from the garages as mechanics, cleaners, oilers, or any other capacity. At least one of the companies, the Mogul Checker, is alleged to advertise as an attraction to prospective clients, that no colored drivers are employed. And the builders of the Mogul Checker Cab refuse absolutely to sell their cars to colored purchases. Taxis Are Comfortable However, in making a bid for the taxicab business of Harlem residents, the colored owners are providing cabs that are the equal in every way to the cars owned by the companies that prescribe colored employees. There are twenty-four men who own from two to eight "Shaw Yellow Cabs," the total aggregating sixty-four. The men are Pettus and Hampton, 8; P. Williams, 5; Mahondie, 4; A. Austin, Peace Outman and Harris, C. Jeffries, I. McKinney, Reeves, 3 each; Swift, F. Cooper, Hall, Brisbane, Jamie Holm, D. Walker, Gestion, B. Hall, Vetor, Smith, Williams, Johnson, Hill, Frazier, Johnson, 2 each. Seventy-nine men own and operate their own "Shaw Yellow Cabs," and there are, besides, the 134 cars of other makes that are operated by colored owners and chauffeurs. In citing these figures, Mr. Davis calls attention to the fact that it would be possible for colored owners to acquire more cars and thus give employment to other colored chauffeurs if the Harlem people would be more liberal in their support of the taxicabs driven by colored men. It is emphasized that the drivers are working on a commission basis, being paid one-third of the earnings of the car driven, and every passenger who deliberately passes by a colored driver and car driven by a white man is into the possible earnings of that man and increasing the earnings white driver, whether the trip is long or short. Offer Lowest Rate There is no possible way to secure a cheaper rate than is given on these cars, said Mr. Davis, since the meter running at 30 cents a mile in the lowest in the city. But frequently, it is said, passengers who ignore the car driven by a colored man will get into a car of which operates at 35 or 40 cents a mile, and thus will have to pay a good bit more than if taking the colored man's cab. In this connection, attention is called to the fact that there are a number of white owners of Lakota who employ colored men as drivers and in other capacities, but they are not owners of the Mogul Checker, Fay or American Yellow taxicabs. The protests being made are directed especially against the use of the cabs of these companies which have put a definite and precise embargo upon the colored man who seeks to make a living through his ability as a chauffeur, auto mechanic, or cleaner and oiler. The colored owners are careful in hiring men to secure those who are polite, courteous and attentive, and it is noteworthy that the service given by these men is of a quality that makes for the comfort and satisfaction of the patron. Failure on part of the drivers to render that kind of service leads to their immediate disciplining, when it is called to attention of the owners. MAYOR BYLAM GAMS BUT CONDITION IS SHELL JOINT SENSIO Reports on Wednesday morning from the sick roots of Mayor John F. Hylan, at Saratoga Springs, show that he has gained strength, but the doctors unite in declaring that he is still seriously ill and not out of danger. Dr. G. F. Comstock, who is in attendance on New York City's mayor, made the following statement: "Mayor Hylan's right lung is congested and his condition generally is serious. I have every hope that he will overcome his affliction, but it should be recognized that in any event convalescence will be prolonged and tedious. It is impossible to say now that the mayor is out of danger." Whiskey, prescribed by the doctor as a stimulant, was refused by the patient, who told the nurse, "I've never drank any of that stuff, and I'm not going to start now." GARVEY RELEASED FROM TOMBS FOR $15,000 CASH BAIL After a week's effort, Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, convicted nearly three months ago of using the mails to defraud in selling stock in the Black Star Line, and held in the Tombs prison pending his appeal from the sentence imposed by Federal Judge Mack of 5 years in the Federal Prison at Leavenworth, Kan., and a time of $1,000, finally succeeded in making bail by putting up $15,000 cash, and was released from prison on Monday, September 10. Since being sentenced on June 21, Garvey has made many fateful efforts to secure bail, but it was not until he secured the services of George Gordon Battle as his attorney that any success was met with. Attorney Battle took up the matter with United States Attorney William Hayward and secured his consent to fixing bail, after which a cabligram was sent to Judge Mack, who is in Palestine, advising him of the situation. With objections from the Federal Prosecutor removed, Judge Mack cabled his consent, and then, on September 3, Federal Judge Manton announced that the prisoner would be released on $25,000 bonds. After a week had elapsed, with the Garveyites unable to raise the required bail, another appeal was made and Judge Manton reduced the amount to $15,000. This bail was given on Monday and Garvey walked out of Tombs Prison, a tree man for the first time since the jury returned a verdict of guilty on June 18 last. The Garvey appeal is scheduled to be heard by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals sometime in October. MRS. DESVERNEY IS EXonerated OF ALL BLAME IN MOOR CASE Court Gives Honorable Dismissal to Prominent Harlem Woman—Roomers Are Held. Mrs. Bertha DeVerney of 137 West 141st street was declared free of any complicity and given an honorable discharge when a hearing was held in the Special Sessions Court at Mt. Vernon on Saturday, September 8, in the matter of robberies alleged to have been committed in Westchester County by Harry and William Moor, brothers, aged 17 and 22, respectively, who were roomers in Mrs. DeVerney's apartment. Harry Moor was arrested on August 31, charged with burglarizing the home of Richard Lee, 4545 Boston Road, Pelham Manor, and his brother, William, was later arrested, charged with receiving and selling stolen goods. It is alleged by the officers that they found certain of the stolen property in the boys' room in Mrs. DeVerney's that, and on the strength of this they also took her in custody. Upon arraignment, however, it was found that she had no knowledge of the depredations committed by the two roomers, and in a statement to the Court she declared a willingness to lend every aid possible to the law in uncovering the illegal activities of the two boys. Investigations by the officers substantiated her claims as to lying in complete ignorance of the characters of the Moors, and the Court, in ordering her discharge, emphasized the fact that there was no reflection upon Mrs. DeVerney in any form. The Moor brothers are being held in Pelham jail subject to action by the Pelham Manor grand jury. Mrs. DesVerney is an active member of Mother A. M. E. Zinn Church, and one of its most valuable workers. Her interests were looked after by Counsellor John William Smith, present Alderman from the 21st A. D., and his services were invaluable in securing for her the kindly consideration of cognt officials in a most unfortunate predicament. She had the active and personal assistance and support of her pastor, the Rev. J. W. Brown, of church officials, including R. W. Willis, Austin Miller, C. A. Jordan, and of Fred R. Moore of The Age. COLORED WOMAN WINS CITY TENNIS TITLE IN NEW YORK TOURNEY Miss V. T. Dolphie of the Colored Branch Y. W. C. A., 200 West 137th street, became the amateur New York City Champion in the women's singles of the city tournament at Central Park on Saturday afternoon, September 8. Miss Dolphie defeated Miss Duffield, who had held the title for some time. The new champion was the only coached contestant out of 125. She is a native of Texas and is a graduate of Fisk Uni- Harlem Hootch Sellers Are Extending Activities Into 7th Ave. Despite Protest Increased Public Drunkenness Is a Menace to the Neighborhood and Destructive of Community Morale and Indignation of Residents Is Aroused. "HYMAN," OF LENOX AVENUE NOTORIETY, HAS ALSO EXTENDED OPERATIONS TO THE SEVENTH AVENUE LOCALITY, NEAR 138TH High Prohibition Official Writes Editor of The Age That Drastic and Thorough Action Against Violation of Volstead Act Is to Be Taken. Although there is visible evidence that the sale of hootch in Harlem is in no wise lessened, but is being extended to new territory almost daily, there is reason to believe that the campaign inaugurated and prosecuted relentlessly and fearlessly by The New York Age against the debauching and demoralizing of Harlem's citizenry by these illicit dispensers of vile alcoholic poisons is in fair way of securing desired results. FOUND WIFE IN JOY RESORT WITH RIVAL; TAKEN TO HOSPITAL Paul Michal of 353 West 53rd street went home the other night and found that his wife was not at home. A bit of discreet sleuthing led him to Harlem, and to the Capitol Cabaret conducted at 575 Lenox avenue. It was only a cursory notice that revealed the presence in the pleasure resort of Mrs. Michal, and that she was not alone. She was accompanied by a lady who gave the name of Mrs. Laura Davis, and her address as 353 West 53rd street, the same as Mrs. Michal. But the party was not a duo—it was a trio, and the third member was a man, and the man was regarded by Paul as a rival. Paul proceeded to remonstrate with his wife for being in the other man's company, the remonstrance taking the form of slapping her face. Then the fireworks started. It is not reported that the alleged rival took any part in the activities that followed, other than making a speedy and well-timed exit from the scene. But when police officers responded to the clamor of calls and blowing of a police whistle, they found Paul prostrate on the floor, his head and face bleeding from wounds said to have been inflicted through the expert use of empty bottles by his wife, Estonia, and her female friend, Mrs. Davis. Michal was taken to the Harlem Hospital, while his wife and female companion were escorted to the police station. When arraigned in the Heights Court, Magistrate Frothingham held them in $500 bail each for further examination. $50,000 FOR MOTHER ZION CHURCH IS NOW READY, SAYS BISHOP Rapid progress is being made on the excavating for foundation of the new Mether Zion Church structure which is to be erected on 132th street, just in the rear of the present 130th street house of worship: Members of the congregation were enthused Sunday morning, September 9, when Bishop J. S. Caldwell announced from the pulpit that the $50,000 promised to Mother Zion for the new building by the General Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Connection had been secured and was immediately available by the local church In making this announcement, Bishop Caldwell complimented the pastor, the Rev. Dr. James Walter Brown, and the people of the old mother church for the magnificent record made in raising money for the erection of a new edine and pleaded for the continued united support of members and friends that the work might go forward to completion without interruption for lack of funds. Colored Laborer Killed By Fall From a Window John White, 28 years of age, a laborer living at 19 West 137th street, was found dead in the court back of his apartment early Tuesday morning, September 11. Neighbors and the physician who examined the dead man's body say that he was probably intoxicated and either fell or jumped from his apartment window late Monday night. The body was brought to the 9th Precinct Station and later mken to the morgue, where it was charged by relative. This is shown by the almost daily receipt of letters approving The Age's work in this particular and through the fact that prohibition officials, Federal State and City, have indicated their appreciation of the information supplied by these exposures and have promised cooperation and drastic and thorough action looking to the elimination of these obnoxious conditions. In the meantime, however, existing conditions would seem to offer little hope for early remedying of a disgrace, full state of affairs. For many months the most objectionable bootlegging operations were confined to Lenox avenue with the sale being carried on in places canoofaked as delicatessen and cigar stores. These places were, operated mostly by one or two persons according to outward indications. The cigar stores, the first to be opened, were usually graced with flaring signs painted in red, bearing the name of "HYMAN." Then came delicatessen, and these, in equally flaring characters, bore the legend, "LOUYS." Opening New Territory Recently, however, the bootlegger have extended their operations into Seventh avenue. At first, this locality seemed to be preempted by a group of Italianas, as the Lenox avenue territory was seemingly monopolized by Hebrews, but these conditions are gradually being changed. One or two places on Lenox were opened by Italianas, and now the Hebrews are coming into Seventh avenue. First came "Connie," said to be a brother to Hyman and Loui, and his opening of a cabaret resort was evidently the entering wedge to the invasion of this hitherto desirable residential street by the more objectionable camouflaged booth_selling joints operated by Hyman. This is borne out by the fact that 2365 Seventh avenue, a store formerly occupied in its entirety by a music firm, the space has been subdivided and one-half of the store is now occupied by "HYMAN'S BEVERAGE & SMOKE SHOP," which is only a masquerade title for the selling of booths in all forms. The demoralizing and dehaching effect of the sale of this vile stuff is seen in the number of individuals, men and women, who are on the street from time to time in an irresponsible condition. This applies particularly to several of the places recently opened on Seventh avenue, in the locality above 135th street. It is suggested that it is more noticeable in the upper section of the avenue because this area has hitherto been almost completely free from vicious and defining resorts of this type. Drunkenness on Street During the recent session of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, many passers on Seventh avenue, in the neighborhood of 138th street, were surprised and shocked at seeing numerous of the visiting Knights, some of them, to judge from accountment, being high officials in the Uniform Rank, who were to all appearances very much, under the influence of Harlem hooch. In fact, some of them were practically helpless, while many of them were very much more than merely exhilarated. This indicated one fact, said a number of onlookers, and that was that personal acquaintance, with the bootleggers was not necessary for the acquirement of something to drink. In this case, it may be, that the uniform itself was a "character certificate" so far as the seller was concerned, as he evidently was satisfied that the wearer of the Pythian garb was an "all right" customer. However, say residents on Seventh avenue, the presence of drunken men and women on the thoroughbore is just as frequent with the Pythians gone as when they were here. Not a day pass, it is reported, but that there is some visible indication of the fact that the National Prohibition Law is honored more in the breach than the observance in Harlem. It has previously been told in their columns of the manner in which disposers of hooch in the neighborhood of 138th street get rid of their customers when the latter become a burden through 'imability to absorb and more alcoholic liquid, which supplies and ad. PAGE TWO be killed. That in the event is piloted to a submergent hallway adjacent to the stairs and left to sleep off the effects of the heat. A Big of Life There is evidently no such facility in the 15th and 16th screen, neighborhood, as when a patron has preloaded all the brochure possible, he is left atray in the street, sometimes to be placed up by a patrol car and sent home in a tazik, if he is all able to comprehend anything; otherwise the poor follow is taken in the stuuden home for protective care while in such a maddish and befuddled condition. In a few rare instances the intolerant man or woman is discovered by some Good Samaritan of a friend and taken away to be saved from the hamilating experience of public drunkenness. In all this mark and darkness of man's prohibition violation there is to be seen an occasional rift of light. 'Last week' news column told of a raid staged in the Harlem district by three Federal prohibition agents, but their activities were not directed toward the camouflaged hoofch joints, which, are the real menace to the community. The agents raided several cafe which were formerly open saloons and, even today, are not recruiting to any form of masquerade. They are operating openly, claiming to be dispensers of soft drinks only, but the "wise" customer knows just how to procure the "hard" stuff. Considerable publicity was given to this activity of the Federal agents but in the meantime "Hyman" and "Louis" seem to have no fear of interference, for their operations are as open and overboard as ever and there is not the slightest leap in their activity. From all appearances they have a stronghold on the law, and they are unmolested in the selling of vils denatured alcohol, called "corn," "gin," or, at a much higher price, "good" whiskey. Official: Written The Age Hope for the eventful curbing of this illlegal activity is held out in a letter which the editor of The Age has received from one of the high officials in the prohibition service. This man, whose name is withheld for obvious reasons, writes as follows: "I have a been sympathy with your efforts to improve the condition: in Harlem, especially in regard to violations of the National Prohibition Act. I have taken this matter up with Mr. _____ several times. I have also taken up the matter with Mr. _____ at Washington. "At the present time the field force is very much less numerically than last year although the department is confronted with additional difficulties and burdens because of the repulse of the State, Prohibition Act. I am taking up this matter again with Mr. _____ and I think that he will soon be in a position to take drastic and thorough action in the matter. The demands made upon him are almost overwhelming. I appreciate very much your earnest consideration of this subject and your interest in the matter, and I sincerely hope that the prevailing situation may be remedied and the obnoxious conditions eliminated." NORTH CAROLINA TAKES OVER NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL DURING MOVING NEW BOARD (Continued from First Page) tion, and has won favor among the educators and persons interested in social work throughout the United States. One distinguished visitor to the school some time ago declared that the work done here ranked second only to that done by the Tukegee Institute. The enrollment in the old school was approximately 200, and under the management of the state and with standardized work, it will very probably increase in enrollment as the school grows from year to year. State Takes Over Property The state takes over the tangible property of the school, which includes approximately 33 acres of land, the buildings and all equipment, the appraised value of the property ranging from $119,000 as to lowest at $150,000 as the highest. There is a state appropriation of $80,000 of which $48,000 is for paying for the school property, leaving $32,000 or $16,000 a year, for maintenance until June 30, 1925. The property is advantageously located, being situated in the heart of the Hayt section. Its campus is a beautiful one and the buildings are in good condition. Durham has the best class of Negroes in the State of North Carolina and the school is located in the midst of the best of them, with the goodly influence of the churches, and their members to help in making the school a success. Dr. Shepard, Principal At the meeting of the trustees on September 4, the faculty for the school for the coming term was elected. It is composed of sixteen members, including Dr. Shapherd who was elected principal. All of the teachers, with the possible exception of two or three were members of the faculty under the National Training School management. The trustees passed upon the budget to be used until June 30, next; he also outlined the plan for making the school a standard normal. They also discussed other matters which will have to do with the general program for development among the state normal schools. The Durham school is the third school of this kind to be taken over by the State Board of Education as normal schools. The state is operating schools in Winston-Salem, in the west and Elizabeth City in the east. The action by the state in taking over the local institution is recognition on their part of the high standard of work that is being done here and of the efficient system of conducting it. Under the new system it is thought that 'school can and will do better work and will increase its range of service. Much praise has been heard of the Durham school and many bi: man have been brought here for the annual commemorative programs. They have been given in. insight into the work that is being done and have gone to their house in all aspects of the country where they have told of the school and what it is accomplishing towards the uplift of the Nation and the South.

Race Medics Hold 28th Annual Session at St. Louis With Splendid Attendance Cannon of New Jersey Hands Executive Board for 14th Consecutive Year-Colored Hospital Association Is Organized to Raise Standard of Race Sanitarians. (Thessaloniki Correspondence) St. Louis, Mo.—The twenty-eighth annual session of the National Medical Association, composed of educated physicians, surgeons, dentists and pharmacists, was held here August 28 to 31, with a large and cathestatic attendance. The sessions were held in the Young Men's Christian Association auditorium, Pine street, with Dr. J. E. Perry of Kassas City, Mo., the retiring resident, assisting. The legislation of most general interest was the formation of a National Hospital Association as an affiliated body. There are 180 hospitals conducted by members of the race throughout the country, and thirty-five of these were registered q hprimryh of these were registered as members of the new body.

As a mark of appreciation for the loyalty and unselfish service rendered by the veteran specialist, a gold watch was presented him by Dr. S. J. Lewis of Harrisburg, Pa., on behalf of members of the N. M. A. The National Association of Life Insurance Medical Examiners was held at the Y. M. C. A. building on Monday, August 27, with Dr. G.

Lester, presented a string report on the Veterans Hospital, No. 91, at Tuskegee, Ala., approving the stand taken by the executive board in insisting upon a complete collection presented for that institution for the care of disabled Negro war veterans. Describing that it is keeping with the family's wishes that a government hospital-build for auxiliary care of disabled Negro soldiers should have a complete Negro present, the N. M. A. declined fund substantially opposed to any other program. The resolution delivered further: "Do it further received, that this Association in taking this form stood, is getted by any union or race prejudice but from a sense of the justice of our names," she added, with the emphasis "with but some apprehension of the hospital only will the prejudice that they are to serve under The finest talent comes gathered within records for Columbia.

WARREN LA PLACE There was a funeral Wednesday September 5 of a young man of our race whose exemplary conduct is worthy of note. It was that of Warren La Place, 35 years of age, the father of two children. He was one of the brothers of Mrs. Henry E. Braden, Sr. of the Astoria Hotel of this city. The young man became a victim of lung troubles and was a sufferer of the ravaging paladys for months, becoming no longer able to hold out against it about three weeks ago when his sister, Mrs. Braden, made up her mind to take charge and to see that he got all the comfort that the trouble would permit him to enjoy in his hopeless case until the expected end came. It was pretty to the cheerfulness with which the sick man bore his great suffering and to witness the abiding faith he had in the help of prayer, as well as the joy he manifested over being the recipient of the loving attention and kindness of an indulgent sister and other relatives. He was taken from his home down town and comfortably enclosed in the home of his niece, Mrs. Vera Braden Smith, around the corner from the Braden's where all of the family could gather at a minute's notice and where during the past three weeks they did little else than care for Warren. Warren was loved by almost everybody and was not known to have a single enemy, Dr. T. A. Robinson, pastor of First Street Methodist Episcopal Church, who often visited the young man, said he never in all his experience as a pastor knew anyone who believed in prayer more than Warren La Place or who was more cheerful and smile bearing under similar suffering than Warren was. He pointed to the life of the, young man as one worthy of emulation by young men. Beautiful services were held over the remains at First Street Church and the floral offerings laid on the casket testified to the esteem in which he was held by friends of the family. OPENING OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS The public schools of New Orleans are to open September 17. On Wednesday 12 and Thursday 13 an institute will be conducted in Thyma Lyson School. Miss Fannie C. Williams principal of the Valena C. Juscs school will have charge of the primary department. Prof. F. P. Ricard, principal of A. P. Williams, in charge of the intermediate; Prof. Lucien V. Alexis, of McCarthy, the grammar; Prof. L. D. Crocher, the high school work; Prof. S. T. Taylor, who won his way to the supervisorship of colored schools arranged the program for the institute and will no doubt render any assistance he can in making the work of the several departments a success. Prof. Taylor is anxious to see the work of all the teachers stand out and above the average, and will do everything he can be encouraged the teachers to teach their goal at the end of the incoming season. Thony Lafen will have Prof. Green as principal and Prof. Perkins, who was principal at Thony Lafen the past two years, goes to Dunnell where Green was. By the transfer Prof. Perkins probably leaves the night school work. There is no night school at Dunnell. The loss to Perkins means $30 per month, less salary. JERSEY ELAN. MAKES SCHOOL BRAND ACT AGAINST RACE GIRL Hackensack, N. J.—The sinister influence of the Ku Klux Klan is plainly to be seen in the action taken by Supervising Principal William A. Smith of the Hackensack schools when he arranged for Miss Nellie Morrow, a young colored woman, newly appointed a teacher, to take charge of a class composed of backward Negro pupils, instead of assigning her to a regular class as her rating and appointments entitled her. Admitted to be thoroughly competent, having passed the necessary examinations and certified on the waiting list according to her rating, her appointment to a position in the schools was compulsory upon the Board of Education under the law. There is nothing to be advanced against her personally, and the only reason advanced by the whites is that she is colored. The Ku Klux Klan became an active agent in the matter and it is reported that members of the hooded group had obtained the signatures of some 1,500 parents to a petition protesting against the placing of a colored teacher over white pupils, notwithstanding that the law provides explicitly that no discrimination shall be shown against teachers because of race, nationality or religion. It is pointed out by those interested that the Klan action in this matter is indicative of the effort of that band to ignore and subvert the law's plain declaration when necessary to further its vicious fight against certain race groups. Miss Morrow will be stationed at the State Street School, it is reported. Lynn. Mass. Lyon, Mass.—Mrs. C. B. Gaines gave a luncheon Thursday for Mrs. Ellen Word of Summit, N.

COMPROMISE AT TUSKEGEE. The letter written by General Frank Hines, Director of the Veterans' Bureau Washington, D. C., in which he announces that it was agreed, at the last conference with a committee representing the citizens of Tuskegee, for the present, "that a wholly commanding officer and two assistants were retained at the Veterans' Hospital," may have caused that official acute humiliation Director Hines had stood out firmly for aarrying out of the pledge made by President Harding, that this hospital should be opened with a colored personnel. His stint concession to the demands of the "Ku Klux Klan, even to this limited degree, stands a compromise with the spirit of South a prejudice, intended to soften the stance at being taken to "at once place" at the hospital colored physicians and other colored personnel." If the last pronouncement by Director Hines is carried out in good faith, it will mean a political victory for the contention of the race in the matter of the hospital battle, having this institution which was established for the rehabilitation of the colored soldiers, manned by white doctors and nurses, as was at first demanded by the localite leaders, anxious for the patronage he felt, the work of bringing the health will be committed to attracts of their own race. This was the most involved and is the practical result of agitation maintained through the Negroess of the country. The retention of a white commanding officer and two assistants is not an agreeable nature of this compromise, as the claim of a white personnel was largely due to the obligation of the former white commandant, the element of the Ku Klux Klan, which he would seem to be closely connected. The substantial results of the final decision in this controversy are largely due, weave, to the firm insistence and unremitting efforts of Dr. Robert R. Moton. Despite misrepresentations of Dr. Moton's position, made through such papers as the Ata "Independent," which were better informed as to his aims and purposes, he had unfilinchingly against the demands of Ku Klux to grab the hospital patronage. The action of this hospital at Tuskegee was possible through the efforts of Dr. Moton and the trustees of Tuskegee Institute, it was entirely fitting that he should be been consulted in the matter of the connel. While the present outcome is indicated General Hines letter is not entirely satisfactory, it may be accepted as a moral victory of the race. The letter written by General Frank T.

FOR GREATER SERVICE. the tendency to build larger churches by religious organizations of the race in New York City has provoked some criticism those who think that the capital thatured could be more advantageously entered in the development of business enterprises. This criticism is met by the rejoinder the money thus invested could not read be turned into other directions, and the building of larger churches in itself is The tendency to build larger churches by the religious organizations of the race in New York City has provoked some criticism by those who think that the capital thus diverted could be more advantageously employed in the development of business enterprises. This criticism is met by the rejoinder that the money thus invested could not readily be turned into other directions, and that the building of larger churches in itself is a profitable investment in the way of affording broader service to the temporal as well as the religious needs of the community. The scope of the church as an active agency for the upbuilding of the community has widened to such an extent as to demand larger edifices and more modern equipment. The church which seeks to meet the needs of the people should be a community meeting place as well as a place for worship. Its activities should be so broad and so diversified as to provide for the spiritual and physical wellbeing of every group and of every age. The community church should not only open its doors for the service of song and praise in the worship of the Creator, but it should teach the young and the old the way of righteous living. If the building of larger churches, with their varying dimensions of community space, becomes more complex and larger, a broader Christianity, the investment should bring forth ample dividends in the good results. The pastors should readiness, as many of them do, that prayer meetings alone cannot build up a church or redeem a community. More practical methods are needed in the way of instruction and edification to enlist the interest of those who must be attracted to the church: Religion must be made a living and vital element in the lives of the people to whom these churches appeal. They must be drawn to the church as the source supplying their social cravings in the lines of instruction, recreation and maintaining that human contact that elevates the mind and relieves the monotony of everyday life. The enlargement of the religious work to a degree that will take care of the growing community is as necessary as any other amplifying of material resources. While on this subject of increasing the facilities for welfare work in Harlem, it might be well for the responsible heads of the Young Women's Christian Association to consider the extension of the existing plant. They should consider the advisability of securing the lot on the side of the present building and extending the edifice, so as to provide additional space for dormitories and other needed departments. Such a move would undoubtedly prove a wise investment for the extension of the practical work being done for young women. Those captious individuals who declare that nothing can be learned by attending racial churches or institutions, should ally themselves with movements of this sort and thus contribute to their superior knowledge and mental equipment toward the improvement of these institutions. Criticism, which does not seek to better the conditions complained of, is not constructive and fails of any good purpose. Let the greater churches justify their existence by doing a greater work for the community. FIGHTING THE KLAN. The ruling spirit of the Ku Klux Klan has been that it is above the law and can indulge in all sorts of mob violence and intimidation without restraint or punishment by constituted authority of either the State or the Nation. As a result of the failure of the proper authorities to quell this spirit in its incipiency, we find in certain sections as equally violent, though more open, reaction against Klan rule. In such settled communities as Pennsylvania and New Jersey the revolt against the Klan was equally lawless in its manifestations, resulting popular attacks upon parades and meetings of the Klan which resulted in damage to persons and property. This is a demonstrations of the hazardous experiment of fighting fire with fire, the primary responsibility for which must be laid to the laxity and cowardice of lawful authority in meeting the Klan menace. The appeal of the members of the Klan to the authorities for protection from the mob spirit which they have aroused against themselves is one of the curious features of the situation. It is an open confession that while mob violence and lynching may be employed by the Klan, the use of similar methods against the Klan should be resisted by the authorities whose jurisdiction the Klan has derided. In Oklahoma the outbreak of mob violence on the part of the Klan, in Tulsa particularly, has been so persistent that Governor Walton has invoked the aid of martial law to suppress it. Tulsa will be remembered as the scene of the organized conspiracy to exterminate the Negro inhabitants a year or so ago, and to burp and plunder their property. Tulsa has since been paying the penalty for its toleration and encouragement of mob violence and cupidity. Governor Walton's remarks to a group of coal miners, at a Labor Day picnic, threw considerable light on the situation. He was reported as follows: The ruling spirit of the Ku Klux Klan has been that it is above the law and can indulge in all sorts of mob violence and intimidation without restraint or punishment by constituted authority of either the State or the Nation.

Tulsa has since been paying the penalty for its toleration and encouragement of mob violence and cupidity. Governor Walton's remarks to a group of coal miners, at a Labor Day picnic, threw considerable light on the situation. He was reported as follows: "I say the man who comes to your home with the intention of taking you out and beating you to death is a criminal, and should be shot on the spot. I can offer you both alternatives. First, go home, then myself and protect yourself at best you can. When attacked by a mob, shoot and shoot to kill." "Second, I can call out the guard and declare marital law, supersees the local authorities and clean up the whole thing. "That is what I am going to do, and I want you to know that Tulsa isn't the only bad county. We have many others just as bad." If this government is to remain a government of law, such organized forms of mob violence as the Ku Klux Klan, must be suppressed without resorting to the counter bill of popular resentment to do the work of the lawful authorities. The trouble is that the politicians of both parties, with few exceptions, stand in awe of the voting power. If this government is to remain a government of law, such organized forms of mob violence as the Ku Klux Klan, must be suppressed without resorting to the counter evil of popular resentment to do the work of the lawful authorities. The trouble is that the politicians of both parties, with few exceptions, stand in awe of the voting power of the Klan. The investigation of the organization, begun by a committee of Congress, was stifled without any report or decisive action. Reports on file in the Department of Justice, it is claimed, show that many Federal offices are held by those who have sworn allegiance to the Klan, which renders them traitors to the Government. To avoid the excesses of popular resentment, already exhibited against this order of rival hatred and religious intolerance, the government should be purged of Klanists to authorities. Then only hardened the Khan should be stamped out of existence, like any other gang of outlaws and criminals. MR. HUGHES OR WAITA Speaking before the American Bar Association at Minneapolis, the last part of August, Secretary Hughes of the State Department defined the Monroe doctrine as a policy vitally related to the national safety. He denied that it was a policy of aggression but on the other hand a policy of self-defense. He quoted President Wilson in support of the proposition that the Monroe doctrine was proclaimed by the United States upon her own authority and will be maintained upon her own responsibility. The building of the Panama Canal and the establishment of Cuban independence have created such conditions in the Caribbean as would make necessary the creation of a Monroe doctrine, if this policy had not already been enunciated, claimed Mr. Hughes. While terming it impossible to review in any detail the events which led to the occupation of Santo Domingo and Haiti the Secretary of State tactily approved the seizure of these countries and the establishment of a military government, as a measure "in the interest of public order." He continued: "This occupation was due to the demonstration to use the phrase of President Roosevelt, of an impotence resulting in the lessening of the ties of civilized society and thus requiring intervention. But the point that I desire to make is that instead of using this opportunity, as has falsely been charged, to establish a permanent control of Santo Domingo, the Government of the United States has been solicited to arrange for the termination of the occupation and the withdrawal of its forces. However, the government asserts that it is effective to the assistance of the Dominican people in establishing a sound basis for an independent Government.

"It is expected that elections in which the authorities of the United States will not intervene will be held about the middle of September and in due course the permanent Government will be established." As to Haiti the same professions of disinterested interest were made, in the following phrases: "In order to understand and conditions in Haiti, it should be recalled that since the Republic of Haiti gained its independence it has been the scene of almost continuous revolution. This is true of its recent history, as well as of the earlier years. The Government of the United States is seeking to make its relation to Haiti beneficial to the Haitian people; it has no other aim but to establish peace and stability. It does not seek to acquire or to control the testament of Haiti, and it will welcome the day when it can leave Haiti with the reasonable assurance that the Haitians will be able to maintain an independent Government competent to keep order and discharge its international obligations. We imagine this is about as good a defence as can be made for the American intervention in Haiti and San Domingo. How little it squares with the facts in the case as reported by the observers sent by the New York "Nation" and reproduced in The Age some two years ago, is a matter of record. Mr. Hughes is making the best of a bad case in defending the American occupation of these Caribbean republics as either warranted by conditions or executed with justice and consideration for the defenceless inhabitants.

COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS The St. Louis Argus recently gave prominence to the case of a St. Louis woman making good as an executive in a national bank. It said: The Douglass National Bank of Chicago the only banking institution of our race that has a member in the Federal Reserve System, under United States Government supervision, has among its executive force Mrs. Victoria Clay Roland (nee Haley) former St. Louisian, who was prominent here in all endeavors for racial uplift. This score a double hit for racial and feminine progress, although such a case is not without pre The St. Louis Argus recently gave prominence to the case of a St. Louis woman making good as an executive in a national bank. It said: The Douglass National Bank of Chicago, the only banking institution of our race that has a memorial with the Reserve System under United States Government supervision has among its executive force Mrs. Victoria Clay Roland (nee Haley) a former St. Louisian, who was prominent here in all endeavors for racial uplift. This raises a double hit for racial and feminine progress, although such a case is not without precedent. For a number of years Mrs. Maggie Walker has officiated as president of the bank founded by the Independent Order of St. Luke at Richmond. As the woman largely control the domestic finances of the country, they should readily find a place in banking institutions, after acquiring the technique of high finance. The Indianapolis Argus recently said that considering the regularity with which "bloodbounds fail to pick up the scent," one would think Hoosier sheriffs would learn to depend on their own intelligence and energy. These officers of the law evidently take no stock in the opinion of the Chief Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court, who pronounced "bloodhound testimony" worthless, as proof of guilt of the person run down by the dogs. The Louisville News claims that both parties in Kentucky have nominated Democrats as heads of their tickets in the forthcoming election for governor. Hence the Negro voters, if they vote at all, must vote for a Democrat. Something like voting for mayor in New York City in a Fusion campaign, eh? It was a Philadelphia judge who said from the bench: "There are not enough trees in Fairmount Park to hang all the motor truck drivers in Philadelphia who should be hanged." As the Philadelphia Tribune said in its headline, this is the thing that incites ignorant mobs to lynch. In an article in the Oklahoma City Black Dispatch a great political opportunity for the Negro is predicted in the West. It continued: Especially is this true in Arizona. It might be interesting to know that Arizona is Democratic by about 400 years. The general opinion is that, if a man is beheaded he is a Republican and out of this idea he is a Democrat. The general opinion is that by encourage the failure of Negroes to this position, "with the stress of Phoenicia were to get blood with Negroes," and a white Republican to the white writer in that city. The man who made that statement earned a bounty that so often, you answered by at least fifty dollars during the war, being a Republican agent. This general opinion is the opposition of the white Democrats. give to the large Mexican population against whom the whites are represented as harboring a deep-seated hatred. But aside from the political issues involved, the opportunities for the migrants exist in the development of the agricultural resources of the State. The announcement by the State authorities of Maryland of their intention of placing the tuberculosis hospital for colored people at Henryville in charge of a white medical and nursing staff, moved the Baltimore Afro-American to the following procluse: If, as Governor Ritchie told this paper, Dr. Cullen decided on this course because he believed colored tubercular patients would not properly obey colored physicians and nurses. It would only be necessary to remind him that already and of their own free will the majority of Nebraska is without the country and properly responding to colored doctors and nurses. We are inclined to believe the question of jobs rather than the expressed interest in the welfare of tubercular patients is behind this decision. Who could be more solicitous for the welfare of colored patients than the colored spadial patients? Somehow the blind people must find a way to register a protest against this constantly growing tedium to crowd them out of every class of service except the most mental kind, even when that service is to be rendered to colored people. The desire to grab the patronage was probably behind this decision, the same cupidity that stirred up the trouble over the Veterans' hospital at Tuskegee. The only way to change such conditions is to hold the responsible parties to account at the polls. Claiming that the Negro is a sleeping giant, the Louisville News called upon him to awake in the following terms: In Louisville he is 51,000 strong. Many a town in Kentucky has a total population of less than 50,000, and yet these towns have big stores—shive stores, clothing stores, grocery stores; they have factories and manufacture various commodities; they have banks that have big capital, big surplus and do big business; they have insurance companies that do a great business. That brings true—why can't we have colored people of Louisville do likewise? Why can't we have a great department store—employing scores of young men and women? Why can't we have a chain of grocery stores like the Quaker Maid and Pregly Wiggly—competing in low prices and employing scores of our boys and girls? Why can't our banks get all the deposits of our race, both of individual and organisations—and thus be in a position to finance other businesses? Why can't our insurance companies write EVERY NEIGHBOR—and thus plow over all of our men and women and also have money to finance the undertakings of colored men with ideas? Awake, O Ye Giant! $1,000 strong—earning 'and handling thousands of dollars a week. Like the unhatted waters of Niigata the power of the Negro in Louisiana and Kentucky is going to take. Like the Negro in Niigata this power can be organized and harnessed and do great things in giving employment to members of the race, in building great businesses and in becoming an influence in the financial world. And when the Negro counts financially—when he gets something the world wants and fair play and other desirable things will come to him. This appeal would apply with equal appropriateness to other places than Louisville, where the race is $1,000 strong or more. The Minneapolis Messenger submits as a program "Where President Coolidge Can Begin," the following: The release of all political prisoners, the abolition of the "color line" and racial discrimination in departmental service of our government, the expulsion of the Ku Klux Klan from activity in Federal affairs and the prohibition of secret meetings on Federal property, should be among the first official acts of President Coolidge. That is quite an ambitious program to thrust upon the new occupant of the White House without warning. One Minnesota contemporary should submit one item at a time. "My City," a sonnet by James Weldon Johnson in the Century Magazine, is a worthy tribute to "Manhattan's sights and sounds." "Her smile" are so varied as to baffle description. Discussing the possibility of a four hour work day, the Norfolk Journal and Guide asked how much leisure does a person need to unfit him for good and effective work. It added: No work is "druggy" unless it is so considered, and when the person is not in love with his work all of the enjoyment of living goes out of his life while he is forced to work, to do what he despises. The sort of education we are getting educates us away: from rather than towards work and the love of it. The introduction of machinery has not helped us to get rich quick and spend the wealth in questionable living, naturally makes the basic labor "druggy" unmivating, and the clanor for raw foreign labor to do what each successive generation should be educated to do for itself, is filling the Nation with more people than we need who become restless and revolutionary, because they have more learnt than they know what to do with, and so turn to laboring and criminal. Honest work is of it, with a reasonable reward for it, is what every healthy person needs to save him from himself and the temptations which so easily be him. The Age Readers' Forum promoted the recent Atlantic confluence between the courts of the Democratic party. It got three of the Democratic party. Other three latter mean one and the same thing. Democracy Secretary James W. Johnson of the N. A. A. C. P. Attorney General, Assistant and Dickinson of Pennsylvania, and others Editor Applegate demanded effort to have the conference declare itself "independent." Dr. Byrd insisted that as matters political stand today, the Republican party is the only hope of the Afro-American, and that while it may not be all we desire, particularly from a racial standpoint, our duty to the race demands that we remain in it and fight for our rights. And he is right too. It is fortunate that Dr. Byrd had such a stamphilod advocate, as Editor Smith to supply the omission occasioned by the former's modesty. --- Chicago's Commissioner of Public Welfare, Mary E. McDowell, speaking before the Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at Kansas City, Kan., urged that the family, the cornerstone of American life, be protected by proper housing for both white and colored people and urged both races to cooperate in obtaining it. Commissioner McDowell, said in part: "Overcrowding in homes breeds immorality as well as sickness. Criminal gerrms are found in dark, overcrowded rooms where every natural function is performed in public. Privacy is necessary if they are using them in mindless clean. We need to be indifferent and simply neglect the human plant in its growing period to produce Tulsa's Feelings Are Hurt Editor of The New York Age: "Poor little Tulsa! It is now crying to President Coolidge to make Governor Walton, 'quit.' The Governor has declared martial law in that city and neighborhood, because white Tulsa went to whipping white Tulsaans, the high roads and at night time. Of course, two years ago, Tulsa murdered hundreds of colored men, women and children, in innocent cold blood; they shot old gray colored people who were on their knees beside their beds, saying their prayers planes and dropped incendiary bombs on colored people's homes, the accumulated property of a lifetime. They killed, maimed, bullied, and then Tulsa had martial law declared so as to prevent any possible retaliation on the part of the harassed Negroes, and to prove that the THEN martial law was only for Negroes, all colored people, and no other people, not even the Old West Indians, not even the Tulsa Indians, peared on the streets, to show that such colored persons were "O. K."—by the whites. That was two years ago. But in 1923 Tula whites, having not away with that devilment against the blacks, began to whip and tar and feather and bully each other, not by, wholesale as the killed the blacks, but singly and occasionally. Hooded and disguised night marauders began to punish innocent (?) whites, and so marital law was declared by the Governor. And what does martial law mean for the ulians? it means chiefly that they must be bed; it nights instead of roaming around with sheets over their shoulders and pillow cases over their heads; that they must not be caught in the big rood' at midnight, waiting to hold up, to scare or to whip somebody, that when some devilment is done and won't anybody tell "Uncle Walton" just who did it, somebody will get "sent upstairs to stay in" until it be willing to take the place of the man; that there will be no "habeas corpus" for him, except that he must keep his corpus under lock and key pending the pleasure of the Governor, and his guards.

WM. PICKENS. New York City. One Remedy for Lynching EditorOnaha Daily News. It is Georgia, as this is written, where disorderly people are disregarding the state and the nation by the murder of disremembered people by Lynching. But as this is written, the state and in the real nature the outburst of violence somewhere else. It is the most disgrace from which the good name of America suffers. Sheriffs and deputies and officers are often practically accustomed to the mobs. They feel personally and politically the compulsion of the popular rage that they face in the market. They are usually county police, whom they look for reelection as in the mob. In the majority of cases their resistance to the mob is fecile. The members of the murdering gang know that the officers will not resist with serious results to the mob. Every state could pass a law to reverse this situation, and most cases could be handled the protection of the prison. Like the law provide that whenever an officer is taken from the custody of a sheriff, a deputy sheriff or a paranormal by a mob, the sheriff or the officer by the mere fact of having the present taken from him by the mob or illegal agency, shall not be offered the protection of the police, be invigilated to reelection or reappointment. Such a law would reduce the living evil greatly. (H. F.) missing notes.

THE DAILY EWBERT THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS Justice Hagarty Refused Mullins' Plea For Writ To Stop Dempsey-Firpo Battle Application for an Injunction Is Denied by Court, Which Declares That Boxing Commission Cannot Be Restrained—Says Wills Still Has Right to a Battle. The efforts of Harry Wills and Paddy Mullina, his manager, to stop the Dempsey-Firpo bout proved futile, when Supreme Court Justice Hagarty of Brooklyn denied the application, on Monday, September 10, of Wills and Mullins for a preemtory writ of mandamus sought in an effort to stop the fight. The plaintiffs asked the court to revoke the license for the Dempsey-Firpo contest, and further requested that should Dempsey refuse to fight Wills, the title of heavyweight champion be given the latter. In handing down his decision, Justice Hagarty said: "The remedy involved by the relator is drastic and should be granted only when the right to it is clear and proven to the entire satisfaction of the court" climax comes in the last act when the He reviews the creation of the Boxing father discovers that Jim Braxton is not Commission and the powers intrusted the man he had believed him to be and to it. "No license is issued for any particular contest," the court finds. "Therefore there is no license to be revoked and cancelled, as requested by the relators in the first subdivision of their prayer for relief. By the same token, this court cannot order the issuance of a license permitting an exhibition between the relator, Wills, and the said Dempsey. "So it necessarily follows that the relators must take the position that it is the duty of the respondents to object to the arrangements-for the proposed contest between the said Dempsey and the said Firpo, and stop the exhibition because the relator, Wills, as a matter of law, is the man at this time, described as the 'best available contender' in the rule promulgated by the respondents that a champion (and the said Dempsey is concededly the champion) must defend his title against the best available contender within a period of six months from the time of winning his title, or forfeit his title to the challenger. The relator, Wills, concededly is a challenger." Justice Hagarty then refers to a contract entered into by Dempsey and Wills on July 8, 1922, to meet for the championship. It is provided in this document that the time and place of the contest shall be mutually agreed upon and that all other arrangements shall be satisfactory to both parties. "But it does not appear that the relator, Wills," the decision goes on, "ever suggested a time and place for the holding of this contest either to the respondents or to the said Dempsey, nor does it appear that bids were ever solicited or received by either party. True, Wills had a licensed manager and in the month of August of this year procured a promoter, who endeavored to interview the manager of said Dempsey. But this was after all arrangements had been made for the Dempsey contest with the said Firno. "The contract continues in force, and whatever rights the relator, Wills, ever had under it still obtain. The said Dempsey, by the express terms of the agreement, has the right to engage in any other contest and, since he is the champion, such a contest necessarily involves the championship." "In my opinion," wrote Justice Hagarty, "the commission had before them for determination, under the rule here; fore stated, a pure question of fact. Nothing has been presented to me tending to prove that their failure to object to the exhibition as arranged was either capricious or arbitrary." "PA WILLIAMS' GAL" IS WELL RECEIVED AT LAFAYETTE THEATRE No show that has been at the Lafayette Theatre in the past year possesses more merit than "Pa. Williams' Gal," which is playing a one week engagement in this theatre. Frank H. Hinson has written particularly good drama, the cast is well selected, and Richard B. Harrison and Rosalie McLendon give unusually good performances. There is also a prologue of good singing by the Fork Song Singers, under the leadership of H. Lawrence Freeman. The plot of the story is very simple, and revolves around "Pa Williams," Richard B. Harrison, who endeavors to force his daughter, "Ola," to marry the son of an old friend because of a promishe made this friend on his deathbed. The daughter, Dolores Haskins,ebels and marries the man of her choice, which throws the father into a rage and he drives her from his home. Later "Pa Williams" finds that his choice of a husband for his daughter had been wrong—a "Jim Braxton" already had a wife and baby, whom he had deserted. "Pa needs for his daughter and after forgiving her, invites the couple to live with him. That the author has a fine dramatic sense is shown by the way in which he builds up his climax. "Pa William" is pictured as a stern old soldier, who had always required complete obedience from his motherless daughter. While living on Sikd street, his daughter meets and falls in love with a young college graduate, played by P. H. Wilson. When her father realizes this he moves to Harlem and forbids his daughter ever putting her lower again. By accident he moves to Harlem and moves on the day before Decoration Day which is her father's birthday and also a big day for his beauty he is to participate in the ceremony. a rage and in the presence of all the guests orders Gregory from the house. The big moment comes when Gregory calmly tells of his marriage to Ola and shows the marriage certificate. An anticlimax comes in the last act when the father discovers that Jim Braxton is not the man he had believed him to be and he sends for his daughter and son-in-law for forgiveness. A part of the charm of the little drama is due to real everyday talk of the actors, talk that may be be heard anytime in Harlem. Mrs. McClendon takes the part of a gossip neighbor who lives on the floor above, and next to Mr. Harrison gives the best performance. Miss Dolores Hashins, F. H. Wilson, Morris McKenny, Walter Smith and Marie Young also do exorbitantly well. The Folk Song Singers included H. Lawrence Freeman, Eva Nurse, Amyce Wilson, Electra Jackson, Flora Sutton, Hoffman Allen, Arthur Walker, Everett William, Louise Brown, Marie Woodby, R. W. Pratt and Leroy Rynard. LINCOLN GIANTS AND BALTIMORE BLACK SOX BREAK EVEN SUNDAY Superior batting gave the Baltimore Black Sox a 12.8 victory over the Lincoln Giants in the first game of their double header at Protectory Oval on Sunday, September 9. Joe Williams started the game for the Lincoln and did well until the fifth inning when the Black Sox scored six runs on him, driving him from the box. In the next inning errors by Scales and Marvel caused four more runs to be made, but despite this ten run loss, the Lincoln kept up their fighting spirit and staged a rally in the ninth inning, which all but tied the score. With three men on base, Wilson hit a three bagger and started the scoring. Brown and Pierce get on base and Thomas hit into a double, but with two out, the Lincoln succeeded in scoring three more runs. Streeter finished the game for the Lincoln and did well. Carr pitched excellent ball for the Black Sox until the ninth inning when he weakened and the game was finished by Albritten. In the second game, the Lincoln started scoring early and made a total of 16 runs, while the Black Sox were able to score only 2 off Dave Brown. The last game was featured by two home runs, one by Perry for the Black Sox and another by Hudspeth for the Lincoln Giants. The score of the games were as follows: FIRST GAME.

Anyone who has been helping up with biking in New York for the past four or five years knows that this latter charge is not so. Boxing has become a business in New York and for the past three or four years has been practically under the control of two or three men. Mullins has been at odds with the Rickard trust, and it is they who have prevented a Dempsey-Wills fight with the backing of politicians who felt that such a fight would stir up racial strife. I know of no white manager of a colored fighter who has the interest of that fighter more at heart than Mullins has Wills' interest at heart. His one ambition for several years has been to make Wills the heavyweight champion of the world, and although he is manager for several other fighters, the interest of all others has been subordinated to that of Wills. Few people appreciate the opposition he has had to face and the personal enemies he has made by becoming, as it were, the champion of an oppressed people. Mullins is a rare specimen as a manager for a colored fighter in that he does not exploit the colored fighter as others have done, and regardless of whether Wills ever fights Dempsey or not, the colored race in this country should feel grateful to Mullins for having put the question of equal opportunity for our race before the public as he has. The Eastern Colored Baseball League is about to close its first season; which has given ample proof that the public will support a colored league in the East. Although the competition has been keen, the Hildale team of Philadelphia, under the leadership of Ed Bolden and John Henry Lloyd, has held the lead practically all season. Their closest rival has been Alexander Pompea's Pan Stars. The New York teams, the Lincoln Giants and Royal Giants, have not figured prominently in the race this season, although the Lincoln's games have been more largely attended than those of any other team in the league. That the New York teams are behind, is largely due to the fact that for several years they have been playing white teams almost exclusively, and were so far superior to them that they became lazy with little opposition. Now that this league is past the experimental stage, we hope that next year, those at its head will see to it that each team plays the same number of games, agree as to the officials and have some one keep an accurate record of the games of each team in the league as well as the performance of each individual player. We congratulate Messra, Bolden, Kenman, and Strong on the strides the league has made in its first year. In a few weeks the football season will be opening. Already reports are coming in that teams in the various sections of the country are beginning practice. Howard University will have a new coach this season, as Dr. Morrison, who coached the team for several years, has located in Chicago and is now practicing dentistry there. The new coach is also from Tuft's College, Boston. The other schools of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association will retain their old coaches. From information already received, indications point to a most successful season. MILLDALE, PENNANT WINNER IN EASTERN COLONED LEAGUE RACE Only Two Games To Play, Philadelphia Team Has 7-Game Lead Over Nearest Rival. DEHART HUBBARD WINS IN PRE OLYMPIC GAMES Johnson and Hubbard Only Colored Who Are Sure of Making Olympic Team. De Hart Hubbard the University of Michigan, was the winner of the star With but two more League games to play to round out their quota of fifty games, and with a seven game lead over the Cuban Stars, their nearest rivals, the Hilldale team of Philadelphia have practically climbed the first pennant of the Eastern Colored League. Under the leadership of John Henry Lloyd, the Hilldale team has had its most successful season and to date has won 31 out of 48 games plaved. The Brooklyn Royal Giants have won their last six games, and have climbed from next to the last place to the third place. They have opened and eight game series with the Cuban Stars, which may cause them to finish second. Although each team in the league agreed to play fifty games, the Bacharach Giants and Hilldale are the only two teams that have come near completing their schedule. As it was their first venture as a league, the Commissioners left a part of the schedule open and for this reason it was impossible to publish the schedule in advance. The attendance has been large at all games and from a financial standpoint the venture has been a success. The standing of the clubs, including games of September 8, is as follows: Hilldale ..... 31 17 ..... 646 Cuban Stars ..... 19 13 ..... 594 Bklyn Royal Giants ..... 15 13 ..... 536 Bacharach Giants ..... 19 23 ..... 452 Lincoln Giants ..... 15 22 ..... 405 Balto, Black Sox ..... 17 28 ..... 378 Star Football Player Returns to Tuskegee Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—There was much joy on the Tuskegee Institute campuses when James P. Boss, star football and baseball player, returned to school. This will be Boss's last year as a wearer of the Crismon colors. Charles Farmer, who did not return to school last year, has written that he will be back. Other promising material is already on hand and it would appear that the gridiron work of the Tuskegee team this season will be of a character that will command the respect of all opponents.

DEHART HUBBARD WINS IN PRE OLYMPIC GAMES De Hart Hubbard the University of Michigan, was the only one of the star colored athletes to win first place in an event of the Pre-Olympic games of the Wilco Athletic Association at the Yankee Stadium on Saturday, September 8. Hubbard was an easy winner in the running broad jump event, having jumped 23 feet 4½ inches, but for the first time in more than two years, he was beaten in the hop, step and jump event. Kaufman Geist, a local Jew of the Y. M. H. A., defeated Hubbard by jumping 47 feet 2½ inches. The best Hubbard could do in this event was 45 feet 11½ inches. H. F. V. Edwards, the former 100 and 200 meter champion of England, found himself in too fast company on Saturday, running against Loren Murson of the Newark A. C. Louis A. Clarke of Baltimore. C. R. Brookins of Iowa and Manville Lochmict of Buffalo, be was unable to place in the 100 meter race. In the 200 meter event, he placed in the semi-finals, but again was defeated by Murchison, Clarke and Eric Wilson. Earl Johnson, the national five mile champion of Pittsburgh, ran a good race on a heavy track in the 5000 meter event, but was unable to keep up with the murderous pace set by Willie Ritola of the Fennish American Club. Ribola finished first, seventy-five yards ahead of Johnson, who was second. E. O. Gourdin, of the Dorchester A. C. and holder of the world's broad jump record) had been out of competition too long and was unable to place in the running broad jump event, although 23 feet 4½ inches was the best jump for that event. Charles West of Washington and Jefferson and Dewey Rogers of the Meadowbrook Club did not participate in the meet, although both were enferred in the 400 meter event. Cecil G. Cook, the junior 400 yard champion of the Robert Ogden A. A., took part in the 400 meter race, but was unable to place. In the boys' 400 meter relay race, Warren Roberts and a group of boys representing Public School 89 won the trophy by a wide margin. The meet was witnessed by a crowd of ten thousand people, and was run under clouded skies and partly in the rain. The hop, step and jump event and the relay races were especially handicapped by the heavy track caused by rain. The "record mile" in which John Riley was appointed to establish a new world's parish, did not prove to be the legacy doubted to had beenpected. The only new record established at the most was by the girl of the Minneapolis Club relay team in the 440 yard event, when a new American record of 23 4-10 seconds was made. The old record was 57.8 seconds. BATTLEING ON IN 1ST APRILCE AT LAFREETE THEATRE Battling Sikh, former light heavyweight world's champion, will make his first public appearance in this country at the Lafayette Theatre next week. He will give an exhibition bout with George Godfrey and will go through, with all exercises used by boxers, in training. The writer visited Sikh's training camp at the Columbus Club, Yonkers, on Tuesday and watched the French champion work out. In gymnastics work, Sikh is the equal of any American boxer and did not appear at all chumy as a boxer. He fought three rounds with Jimmy Brown of New York, and although the gloves were heavily padded, he almost knocked his white opponent out with a hard right to the jaw. His sparring partner became angry and did his best to retaliate, but was unable to hit Sikh. In another three round workout with Billy Becker, also of New York, Sikh almost scored a knockout and his opponent was unable to land any effective blows. In contrast to the . . . sports received in this country, there was nothing savage in Siki's actions on Tuesday. He set composed at all times and is very polite as most Frenchmen are. According to his manager, Siki will fight in New York late in October or early in November, against some colored fighter of this country, probably Harry Wills.

J.—A special meeting of the Alumni Association of Howard University was held here August 29 and 30, in response to a call made by the president, W. Justin Carter of Harrisburg, Pa. The body was welcomed by former President I. H. Nutter and the Mayor of Atlantic City, who presented a gold key to President Carter, symbolizing the freedom of the city. Matters taken up for action included the strained relations with regard to the athletic situation that existed at the close of the spring quarter between the alumni and students, which was reported satisfactorily adjusted. A resolution asked for joint management of intercollegiate athletics by the University Administration, the faculty, and the student body, and for the filing of a financial report with the Alumni Association. Deplorabble internal morale due to lack of definite duties for the deans, alleged unfair dismissal, and demotions, and an alleged atmosphere of oppression at the University were re- arried to a committee for investigation. The 'Alumni' Association put itself on record as demanding academic freedom both for the faculty and the student body, with a request for interest on the part of the University in the religious and social life of the students.

P. MILLER YOUR WORLD As a tribute to the late Rev. Dr. Albert President Miller, pastor emeritus of Nazarene Congregational Church, Bookkin, who died August 13, at 2:30 a.m. at his home in Jersey City, N. J., memorial services were held at Nazarene church on Sunday, September 9, at 8 p.m. the present pastor, the Rev. Henry L. the first speaker was Mrs. Bentrice Christian, who, as a child, was in the home at New Haven, Conn., where Dr. Miller attended Yale University and pastored the Congregational Church. Mrs. Christian spoke as follows: "To me no words seem more fitting, to note more beautiful, than these simple words, 'A Christian gentleman, and a father to all.' I knew him best in the atmosphere of his own home. I lived in his home, when I was seven years of age, at New Haven, Conn., and being in one's home is knowing them and understanding his church and Sunday-school in Dixwell avenue, a beautiful brick structure, which was built during Rev. Albert P. Miller's pastorate in that city, and that Congregational Church stands today as a monument to his memory. "Mike my mother and I left New Haven. I lost trace of Rev. Miller and family for a number of years. Twelve years ago I came to Brooklyn to live. I visited many of the churches, and as I had attended the Congregational Church at Harlem, I met Robert F. Wheeler, pastor, I asked if there was a Congregational Church here in Brooklyn, and learned that there was on Herkimer street, near Alkany avenue. I shall never forget the Sunday morning I found Nassarene Church as 412 Herkimer street, spotting the church and to my surprise Rev. Albert P. Miller was the pastor, my father's friend and mine. "I shall never forget the greeting he gave me when I told him who I was. The impression I got in the little church, with that group of people, was that of a loving father and his children. I love to remember how happy he was and his people, and I will remember to build the church with the memory of his words of thanksgiving to God for a larger church to render a better service to the Master. He loved the young people, and they loved and respected him. His advice was always so helpful, and I will always remember him telling us "That we could at least be decent." I am so glad Rev. Albert P. Miller lived to see him, reach his fifteenth and here to preach the anniversary sermon. Slow of speech as he was, fetter as he seemed, little did he know how near Heaven's gates he was. "And most of all I love to remember Rev. Albert P. Miller in his house. On Sunday, August 12, I went to Jeremy City to spend the day and night. Strange you are going to spend the night with us. You have not stayed in our house since you were a little girl'. And I recall how she talked about things that happened years ago; of his early struggles, his travels, his missionary work in Africa, his children and loved ones who had gone to glory, and as we talked on his attention was drawn by the music of his daughter, Florence, for she played, she shine give the joy she sang on with such strength and fervor, that his daughter struck the chord again, and played it through. "We did not know that this was his hung on earth, or that the Death Angel was hovering so near. For at 12:00 Rev. Albert P. Miller rose to answer the call of Morphus, paused in the doorway, and smiling in his genial manner, bowed low and said, 'Well, I bid you all good night.' We did not know the significance of this Good Night! At 2 a.m., Rev. Albert P. Miller, husband, father, neighbor and friend, answered the call and came to be the chamber of death, kind to the beauty of the morning, deaf to the infinite carelessness of his family, he had passed from labor to reward. Exact to the rest of him who lives, under the roof of the house, the child he no more can come to him, sounds of earth are dumb to him. Born, no hurt, nor shame can touch the life of him whom we loved in much. Are he lost him the same as we but always beautiful now he'll be. Situated in the soil of him who stares where the trees are kind, and the grass is green. For there are may and him there never a Bone a care may find him there, never a fear may bind him there. The bone to bear the weight of the heavy bone bear the weight of the heavy Love their beauty and suffer pain; but he will never sigh again. Nourish you not for him who lies under the grass, and the open sky. Never shall she draw near to him. Welcoming home to the God above. Delivered now in his holiness love from all that make man's misery, always beautiful now we'll be. The Rev. Dr. E. Lyman Hood of River Edge, N.J., secretary of the Class of 83, Yale University, of which the deceased was a member, and a letter of patents at not being able to attend. The Rev. C. Garner, pastor of Grace Christian Church, New York City, of which Dr. Miller was assistant pastor at time of his death, and a private treasure to his friend, Mr. Miller praised his last sermon at Grace Church on Sunday, August 12 at 11 a.m. The culinary was delivered by Dr. Proc- tor, using as a basis the text from which Pastor-merituer Miller preached fifth anniversary sermon on July 15, year not, little flock, it is your Father, your pleasure to give you the kingdom. The Teacher, "Face to face," by Harry Cotham, "O. Master, let me walk with Thou," and "I want to be a Christian, in my heart," various hymns of Dr. Miller, and a daughter by Mrs. Isaacs, whose love beguiled the early pamphlets of Mrs. Miller. The daughter with me, sung by choir and congregation. The surviving family of Dr. Miller were present at the services. The Lord's Su... was administered at night. First Emanuel Church A glorious day was spent by all who attended services at the First Emmanuel Church on Sunday. It brings the anniversary Sunday, many were present to hear the anniversary service preached by the pastor. At 11 o'clock Pastor Bolden preached from the text: "Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals, for within: three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God give you to p. sawsii:1 Joshua 1:11. The theme was "Prepare yourselves, for a journey into a promised land." Pastor Bolden said: "Joshua was given a commission, it was to go to in a promised land; but before he reached this promised land he would be three days passing over Jordan. The Lord also commanded Joshua to take the Book of the Law, which Moses had given to him and not depart from it. He was told to meditate upon it day and night, and continued live it, that he might prosper and have great success. After Joshua: fulfilled this command, he had a great responsibility ahead of him, as he had to continually push the people on. They had with Moses forty years in wilderness, and no that Moses was dead it, and no that Joshua the leadership and bring them into this promised land. But God, the Great Spirit, who leads you on to great discoveries, was with Joshua, as H. had promised him. He would." ... had tried to ginized leaders who were also helping him to reach this promised land, and who would push his great ideal on Joshua called the leaders and told them to go among the people, and tell them to prepare vital, as it would take them three days to pass over this Jordan. This symbolical Jordan which Joshua spoken of, we all must come to its sense. We must believe that we forever behaves us to prepare for our youth, in our middle age and in our old age this virtual which will stimulate our minds and bodies and help us to cross. We must get all the love, all the sympathetic qualities, all the goodness, and all the holiness. These are the victuals ... will help us to pass over this Jordan into the promised land." At 2 o'clock, Supt. Rev. Hogans opened the Sunday-school, with the usual opening exercises. At the close of the lesson, Joshua had charge of a short program with the children. Many of the little obes sang and recited. The Literary Society convened at the usual hour and Miss Theresa had charge of the program. It was as follows: piano duet, Miss Theresa Greene and Mme.

Christian of Jamaica preached to the many assembled. His text was "To for me to live. Cult, and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21. The yearly reports were also rendered at its service, and the different auxiliaries showed great progress during the year. The choir sang uplifting anthems at both the morning and evening services. The dinner was served during the day by the members of the Literary Society and $5.50 was given to the church from the treasury on Sunday afternoon at 4 eclock there. will be memorial services in honor of the deceased and Beloved wife of Rev. R. M. Bolden, Mrs. Medora E. Bolden. As a short entology we might say: I cannot say and I will not say, That she is dead; she is just say, With a wary smile and a wave of the hand, She has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how great and fair, It needs be since she is there And you who the wildest year, For the old time step and return Think of her as 'ag dear, Love of her there as the love of here Think of her still the same I say, She is not dead, she is just away. Salem Church and Lyceum The pastor, the Rev. F. A. Cullen had spent a two months' vacation with his family at his summer home, Pleasantville, N. J. taking a much needed rest. He returned much improved in health and has entered upon the great task which is before him with received vipers. The church was invited to greet him.

The weather was ideal. The sermon was preached by Bishop S. Caldwell. He announced his text from Psalm 23:16. The Lord in Shepherd, I shall not want. The theme of his discourse was "The Wise Choice." He illustrated the individual's option in choosing his daily advocation from whatsoever trade or profession he preferred, but declared it was not as important as a choice for the soul's eternal betterment. It was this choice made by David, the author of the words of the text, that inspired him to emphasize the apparent joy and spiritual delight of all present. At the close, twenty persons were received"into the church. The Sunday-school convened at 2 o'clock. The attendance has increased. Plans are under way to make Raleigh Day, which will be the third Sunday in October, the greatest success ever in the history of the Sunday-school.

New members are uniting with the church at each service. Last Sunday at eleven o'clock Drhy Drhy discussed "A Look into Liberalism." Among other things the pastor said that modern liberalism was, when reduced to its lowest terms, nothing more than a worldly view of religious and sacred things; and in response Christians the duty of holding to and practicing the great fundamental beliefs and doctrines which have given to Christianity its primary among the religious systems of the world. In this connection Drhy Drhy discussed the deity, virgin birth and resurrection of Christ, as involving no metaphysical implication which shock or stum the earnest inquiries after spiritual truth and realities.

Peterson of its entertainment committee, who dutely aguaited and blackjacked on his return home. Mr. Perkins, who lives at 200 West 142nd street, and whose family was out of town at the time, had charge of the party. After seeing to the various details incidental to the closing of an affair of this kind, from what we can learn, he went directly to his residence from the party, where his appearance when found, must have been preparing to retire, when attacked. The story advanced by his friends, and one which seems quite plausible, is that some thief or thieves, being acquainted with the fact that his family was away, and believing he had considerable money on his person that even the hallway could rob him as he entered the hallway, something occured which prevented their scheme from being carried out in that way. So they took a chance of ringing his bell, striking him when he appeared, or, it may have been, the culprits were inside the apartment. However it may have happened, they failed to show any amyre and Mr. Perkins has the doctor's care ever since, suffering from the disease and body and has been unable to furnish a description of his assailants or give any details concerning the assault. Fortunately, the supposed thieves did not get any money or other valuables, due to a roomer in the Perkins' home, who was awakened by the scuffle, Mrs. Perkins, who was spending the summer at Sharon, Conn, was hastily summoned and held, uninterested, attending physician, that uncle complained set in, her husband will be able to get around in the next two weeks.
