Do Owlman's Mugfit Mammary of Harlem Bootlegging? Harding Wins Nomination Over Insurgent in 21st A.D. FOR QUALITY READ The New York Age THE HOME PAPER THE New York Age WHEN YOU SEE IT IN The New York Age YOU CAN DEPEND ON IT Bold Bootlegging Activity In Harlem Causes Thought That Officials Must Profit Close Connection Between Federal and Local Enforcement Officers and Members of the Hootch-Selling Fraternity Is Seen in Their Fraternal Affiliation. OBJECTIONABLE TYPE OF CITIZEN IS THE BOOTLEGGER OF OTHER RACES WHOSE ONLY OBJECT IS TO PROFIT FROM Hootch SALES Feature of Bootlegging Business in the Use of Conveniently Situated Private Apartments for Serving Trade, Men and Women, Which Seeks for Privacy. A sinister aspect is being given to the hootch situation in Harlem by the manner in which the bootlegging gentry is manipulating his activity in the spread of his illegal panderings to the appetites of a thirsty clientele. It is alleged, and the charge is openly made, that there must be a close and intimate connection between the men operating as bootleggers and the enforcement officers, both Federal and local, or else the hootch-selling gentry could no ts oopenly and boldly carry on. News Briefs of General Interest In a report submitted to State Auditor Tracey of Ohio, G. D. Brown and Conn Baker, state examiners, recommend that steps be taken by the State Board of Control to lessen the influence of the African Methodist Episcopal Church over the affairs of Wilberforce University. The report points out that the Ohio State Constitution requires that in state-aided schools "no sectarian influence shall be permitted." In spite of this, the examiners charge that- "Wilberforce University is controlled by the A. M. E. Church," and that "the university controls the combined normal and industrial department of the school," although under the law these departments should be managed separately. Six of the nine members of the board of this combined department, a bishop, three ministers and two laymen, are from that church, and the executive board of the University itself is composed of five bishops and four clergymen of the A. M. E. Church. The new superintendent of the combined department is authorized to select his own office force, and "the state will have no supervision of the $374,000 allowed for the biennium of 1923-24 for the university if this practice is permitted," declared the report. Governor J. C. Walton is determined to drive the Ku Klux Klan out of Oklahoma. He has put Oklahoma City and Tulsa under "strictest military rule. Machine guns command approaches to the Capitol at Oklahoma City. Martial law has been declared" for the whole state. A machine gun has been mounted on top of a building commanding the county courthouse. The police chief has been ousted and the sheriff's office is in charge of a Guard officer, with the sheriff and his deputies under him. Gov. Walton has declared that from now on there will be no appearance in public of masked men or masked organizations. The Klan has been responsible for nearly all the floggings reported in the state, and the Governor declares this kind of a gang must be put down. "If one of these masked men comes to your house after you, turn loom high barrels of your shovgun and I will pardon you." The first refugees from the Japan disaster, residents of New York City, reached Seattle, Wash., on the Admiral line President Jefferson, the first vessel from the Far East. They were wearing borrowed clothes and some were without sufficient funds to pay carriage to hotels to await assistance from friends. Seattle people cared for them. All are bruised, none seriously. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Perron of New York City were buried for five hours, with their fifteen-month-old baby, under the debris of a two-story frigate house. After they were removed, they heard the baby cry. Angels hours of frequent digging were necessary to reach the baby, who was silent. The President Jefferson plowed up the refugees from the Yokohama winter resort and from small boats in the harbor. At Mumbai, Whigham Jones, reached the second day out, passengers coming on board went into their trawls and dug up all the extra clothing they could afford for the ship and halted outside of the horrible conditions for Japan. Lenox avenue, the scene of their opening activities, and for a long time the center, offers many opportunities for the observant onlooker to form opinions as to the compliant attitude assumed by the law officials. It also discloses incidents that accuse curiosity and cause one to ask questions as to why police and probation enforcement officers, seem to enjoy such intimate association with many parts of the booth audience. "Why is a booth audience so welcome, to see one of the investigators police inspecting in booth of one of the represented booth points, and many times he is engaged in conversation with the "boss" bootlegger or one of his, representatives. It is through this condition that the allegation is given substance that there must be some material advantage to the officers of the law, or else the violent traffic in booths could not be thus openly carried on. A Close Association The statement is made freely by persons who have occasion to pass through Lenox avenue, and who are familiar with the personalities of both officials and bootleggers, that the apparent close association between these individuals who should be furthest part indicates but one thing—that in return for freedom to operate the bootleggers, are making it well worth the while of the law enforcement officials to turn their eyes the other way at convenient intervals.

The Montmartre dancing hall is closed and its license suspended as the result of the treatment accorded two sons of the ex-King of Dahomy, Prince George Tovalou, a barrister at the Paris Appeal Court, and Prince Marc Tovalou, a physician, accompanied by a white friend, entered the dancing hall, but were greeted by hostile shouts on part of a group of Americans already in the hall. The manager asked them to leave, but they refused. Then the waiters of the place used force in expelling them. Acting on their complaints, the Prefecture of Police did the restaurant's license and issued a warning that attempts by foreigners to draw a color line against citizens of the French Colonies would have serious consequences.

NO DAILY PAPARS IN NEW YORK CITY BECAUSE OF STREET Every daily paper in New York City was compelled to auspend publication on Tuesday morning, September 18, because the pressmen, members of the Web Pressmen's Union, No. 25, some 2,500 men, employed in the pressrooms of the New York papers, went on strike at 12.05 a. m. Tuesday. Both morning and afternoon editions were affected, the only papers issued after the strike went into effect being the New York "Call," a Socialist paper, the Bronx "Home News," and some of the foreign language papers.

NEW PLAN IS BASED ON VOTES ACTUALLY CAST FOR THE PARTY One Delegate for 2,500 Votes For Elector or Congressman; Two if 10,000 Vote. Under the reapportionment plan officially announced by the Republican National Committee on September 14, the next Republican national convention will number 1,036 delegates, 52 more than the 1920 convention, which had 984, but there will be 32 less from southern states. Five states lose these 32 delegates, four remain the same as in 1920, while the remainder of the states are given an increased representation. The states losing delegates are as follows: Georgia; 8; Louisiana; 3; Mississippi; 8; South Carolina; 7; and Texas, MAYOR BYLAN BETTER Advices from Saratoga Springs are to the effect that Mayor John F. Hylan who has been suffering for three weeks from pleuro-pneumonia, is definitely on the road to recovery. His condition indicates that the danger of a relapse is practically past and that it is only a question of time and careful nursing to restore him to perfect health. Much gratification is felt at this hopeful statement and the best wishes of all citizens are with Mayor Hylan in the fight he has put up against the dangerous disease which carried him so near to death's door. COLORED WOMEN ARE MAKING GOOD IN NEW YORK COMMERCIALLY Pioneer Purring in Business Ten Years. Has Large And Well-Appreciated Work MILLINER MOVE GOOD DOWN TOWN; SHOWED CREATIONS IN PARIS Most Attractive Store in Harlem is the Cecile, Operated by Mme. DeSilva. Some of the most successful businesses in New York are conducted by colored women. When one thinks of colored women in business., hair dressing and the manufacture of hair and facial preparations are the businesses that are most likely to come to mind, but there are several other local businesses conducted by women who are pioneers in their field. Mrs. Gertrude B. Needles, the pioneer Negro furrier in New York, has been (Continued on Second Page) In the article headed, "An Old Time Danger May Return," the possibility of a small-pox epidemic in New York is shown by Dr. B. S. Herben of the N. Y. Tuberculosis Association, who writes of eleven cases of the loathsome disease in the city during 1923, seven of which were colored patients. One was a young man from North Carolina, and six were persons who came in contact with him. Dr. Herben offers vaccination as a positive preventive, to be had free of charge at clinics of Board of Health and at the Health Department building, Pearl street, or for a small fee from your family physician. Let every member of the family be vaccinated and be safe. 6,000 Garveyites Hear Their Leader, On Bail From Prison Cabs Operated by Colored Men Give Lowest Possible Meter Rate Under State Law. It has been disclosed within the last few days that what seems to be an organized propaganda is being made to create the impression among Harlemites that the only low-rate taxicab is the one operated by the Mogul Checker Co. Wouldbe passengers have told chauffeurs of other low-rate cabs that they have been advised to be sure and call a Mogul as that cab offers the lowest rate to be had, and that other cabs, for the same distances, will cost more. This is not true, especially as to the cabs owne dand operated by colored men and drivers. Every car running in Harlem, whether it be a Shaw Checker, a Pennant, or a Yellow Taxicab, Lowest Rate, carries a meter that gives the lowest rate offered the public, 30 cents a mile. The chauffeur on a Pemant taxis reported to. The Age that recently a custom coping, out from the company needs the main entrance to the Lafayette Theatre lobby insisted on a Magul Checker Cab, adding that he had been advised to get that cab and none other. The Pemant driver, however, in a plain, sensible manner, called his attention to the fact that his car was in every respect the equal of the car asked for, with as low a rate, and at the same time, it belonged to a colored man and was being driven by a colored man, while the Magul people would not employ or permit to be employed any colored drivers. Riders Are Convinced The passenger, with his wife and daughter, was enroute to Corona, Long Island, and he took the Pennant cab. Before reaching the end of his trip, he declared that it was one of the most comfortable and satisfactory rides he had ever had; that he had known nothing of the taxicab situation, but that henceforward, he would not be misled by the selfishly actuated advice of any would-be friends. Another taxicab driver, who is also the owner of his car, was approached by a man who wanted to go to Forest Hills, Long Island, and who had been told by Mogul drivers that any other car would cost considerably more. To meet his argument, C. A. Davis, the taxicab owner in question, offered to make the trip to Forest Hills free of charge to the passenger if his meter registered, even twenty cents more than the trip had previously cost. As the Shaw Checker cab rolled up to the door of the man's home at Forest Hills, the cab's meter registered to the cent the exact amount of the trip had cost in the Mogul Checker cab. The passenger, who said he made the trip twice a week, was converted and declared that he would no more be deceived by false claims of other cabs. In order to protect and safeguard their interest, the colored taxicab owners have projected a movement looking to practical cooperation for mutual benefit. A ALFRED RYAN KILLED BY SUBWAY TRAIN AT 135TH ST. STATION Alfred Ryan, 30 years old, who lived at 433 Rodney street, Brooklyn, was killed almost instantly on the down town platform of the 7th avenue. subway at 135th street station when he was struck by a work train and his body thrown against an iron pillar, early Thursday morning, September 13. Ryan, in company with his wife, Mrs. Carrie Ryan, was evidently caught to his home in Brooklyn and was awaiting a down town train. The approach of the work train probably missed him, but enlighteners report that as the train approached Ryan stopped away from the side of his wife and reached the edge of the platform at about the same time in the first use of the train was meeting. Estimated That 6,000 Men, Women and Children Were Packed Within the Confines of the Auditorium of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 138th St. GIVEN A TUMULTUOUS WELCOME BY HOSTS OF EXUBERANT AND ENTHUSIASTIC MEMBERS OF THE ORGANIZATION WHO REJOICED WITH HIM Black Star Line Official Made First Appearance on Thursday Night, September 13, After Being an Inmate of Tombs as a Federal Prisoner Since June 18 Last. It is said that six thousand people can crowd into Liberty Hall, the Marcus Garvey auditorium on West 138th street, between Lenox and Seventh avenues, and if this is so, then fully that number paid fifty and seventy-five cents each to see and hear their recently liberated chief, the President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who, on Thursday night, September 13, made his first public appearance before his followers after being released from the Tombs Prison on Monday, September 10, on $15,000 cash bail. EAST SIDE COLORED MEN PREVENT WHITES FROM HARMING NEGRO Man, Thought Unbalanced, Charged With Following Girl, Saved From White Mob. Colored residents of the East Side, in the neighborhood of 101st street and Third avenue, by their, determined stand for law and order prevented a group of lawless whites from mistreating and mishandling a colored man, Samuel Warner, a Porto Rican, who was under arrest. Warner, who was sent to Bellevue Hospital for observation as to his mental condition, was charged by Miss Leah Lesebrod of 48 East 101st street, with having annoyed her. Patrolman Jacob Harris of the 104th street station responded to the sound of a police whistle blown by the young woman's father, who had seized Warner on the girl's complaint. In the meantime, however, a large crowd of both colored and white people had gathered. The whites, hearing the charge that the colored man had annoyed the white goir, became menacing in their attitude, and some of the crowd wanted to take the man away from Lesebrod for summary treatment, but the Negroes objected, declaring that the prisoner should be held and turned over to the police authorities. When Patrolman Harris arrived on the scene, he saw the situation. Drawing his resolver and club, he made his way through the crowd to Lescobrod's side and took charge of Warner. A taxicab was commandeered and the officer took his prisoner to the machine, although the angry whites were bombarding him with, all sorts of missiles. The enriched people, according to the officer, made no effort to interfere other than to prevent the whites from injuring the prisoner before the arrival of the officer. When Warren was arraigned in Night Court, Magistrate Bernard Douras was convinced by the man's actions that he was mentally unbalanced, so it was ordered that Warner be taken to Rellevue and placed in the observation ward. Warner, 30 years old, said he was a graduate of Oxford University, England, and had been sent here by the British government to investigate Marcus Garvey. He denied that he had suppressed Miss Lescobrod and said he was trying to "get an interview." When asked with whom, he said, "With myself." 9. Garvey was sentenced on June 21, last, to serve five years in the Federal Prison at Leavenworth, Ksas, and pay a fine of $1,000, after being convicted by a jury in the United States District Court on June 18 of using the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of stock in the Black Star Line Steamship Co. The feature of his trial that attracted much attention was Garvey's action on the second day of the trial when he summarily dismissed his attorney, Counsellor Cornelius W. McDougall, and took charge of the case as his own lawyer. Since that time, several fruitless efforts had been made to secure bail pending an appeal to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, the activities including an appeal to the late President Harding and a renewal of that appeal to President Calvin Coolidge. In each case, the matter was referred back to the office of United States Attorney William Hayward in New York City, which had prosecuted the charges against the President General of the U. N. I. A. George Gordon Battle ag Attorney Recently the Garvey interests, secured the services of George Gordon Battle, one of New York City's most prominent attorneys, and in a short while consent was given by the Federal Prosecutor's office to the granting of bail to Garvey pending his appeal. A cable to Federal Judge Mack, who had pressed at the trial, carrying this information, brought back a reply agreeing to this action and Federal Judge. Manton then took action on September 3, fixing bail at $25,000. The securities offered by the Garveyites were not of acceptable character to the Security Co. which was called on to furnish the bail, and a week's intensive effort showed that it would be a difficult matter to make the required bond. It was found, however, that $15,000 cash could be raised, and so it was arranged that Garvey should be released on this bail. Mr. Garvey and the U. N. I. A. Chancellor arranged the details and secured the required amount. The release was unexpected, however, to the hosts of Garvey's followers, and when he walked out from the Tombs he was unaccompanied save for his lawyer. The meeting at Liberty Hall was the first opportunity afforded his followers to greet their leader and they took fullest advantage of the occasion. He estimated that $3,500 was taken in at the door, and this means that not many meetings would have to be held before the $15,000 put up to secure the bond would be replaced. Uprearious Greeting to Garvey It was an uporous greeting given the President General. The thousands of followers, men, women and children, were exuberant in their hope and physical outpourings of their enthusiasm. The men and women cowered around their human ideal and smothered him with their attentions. As many as dared, patted his hands, shook his hand, and the bodies pared to hug him. It is alleged that some were voluptuous enough to abjure him. In the memorial flowers of happy children shouted and glittered around them. PAGE TWO giving utterance to shrill and joyous crime of violence Of course, President General Garvey made a speech. Whether any other newspaper men were admitted without charge, the Age representative was required to fork up 75 cents or stay outside. The cerebus at the door was decidedly firm in his stand in this particular, and made no bows as to his personal attitude, i.e., that this particular press representative need expect no courtesy consideration from him. As the only argument to which the doorkeeper would listen appeared to be the rattle of silver, the Age man did not hear President General Garvey's speech. Defenda Being Own Lawyer As some of the metropolitan 'dailies carried accounts of the meeting, it is evident that the press embargo did not extend to them, or else from their putocratic resources they were able to finance the exhibition through to the inside of Liberty Hall. According to these papers, Garvey defended his action in taking charge of the defense of his case in the trial court. He is quoted as declaring to his bearers that if he hadn't handled his own case he would have been sentenced to thirty years instead of five. He did not explain how this statement was to be reconciled with the fact that a five years' sentence is the maximum under the charge he was convicted on, but went on to state further that "I wasn't so foolish as to let any Negro lawyer put me in jail for thirty years without opening my mouth." With reference to his stay in the Tombs, Garvey declared that his brain can be as resourceful in jail as when outside, and that if the authorities want to give him a rest of five years he will edit an encyclopedia of ideas. He referred to Liberty Hall as the shrine of Negro inspiration, and the thousands inside the hall were joined by the many outside who couldn't get inside, in a shout of enthusiastic approbation. TUSKEGEE OPENS ITS 43RD SESSION WITH LARGER ENROLLMENT More Than 1,200 New Students Enrolled First Day Former Students Coming In. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-The forty-third session of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute opened here on Thursday, September 13, with more than 1,200 students enrolled and many others present awaiting the opportunity to register. Every section of this country is represented among those present, as well as Africa, Central America, South America, Cuba and the British West Indies. The opening day enrollment of this year compares favorably with that of any other year. A smaller registration was expected due to the migration of many Negroes to the North and the economic conditions existing among Negro farmers of this section. But in spite of these adverse conditions it was necessary to open registration a week early in order to be ready for the regular routine on the opening day. From all indications the year will be one of the most largely attended sessions in the history of the school. The majority of those already enrolled are new comers. The old students are just beginning to return, many of them having worked at their trades during the summer at the large industrial plants in the North and Middle West. In addressing the students at the Thursday evening chapel services, Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, said: "It is very gratifying to see so many here on the opening day and I hope your presence here indicates an anxiety on your part to begin your work for the year. Many of you, I am sure, have heard that Tuskegee stands for work, and so it does, but it stands for much more than that: it stands for manhood and womanhood and seeks to produce well rounded men and women by carrying out the philosophy of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the founder of the Institute, which is inscribed on the monument erected on the campus to his memory, which reads: 'We shall prosper in proportion as we learn to dignify and glorify labor and put brain and skill into the common occupations of life.' "I want each of you to look at and study...that monument and think about the man whom it memorializes. Think of his life. Think of what he did for his race, his country and for humanity, and of the sacrifices which he made for this Institute. Then strive at all times to prove worthy of those sacrifices which he made and which your parents and these teachers are making today. Make every minute of your time count. Tuskegee, as I have said before, is no place for sluggards. We are busy here from morning till night and I hope every one is determined to follow the routine cheerfully and willingly." CONTRACTOR KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT CAUSED BY DENSE FOG Northfork, W. Va.—W. B. Wallace of the contracting and building firm of Wallace & Harris, was instantly killed and his partner, W. L. Harris, was seriously injured, when their car went over an embankment of about thirty feet on the mountainside between Bluefield and this place. Mr. Wallace was driving and lost his way in a dense fog which enveloped the road between 5 and 6 o'clock on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, while they were enroute to their place of business here. The car was a new one, just purchased by the team, and it is a total wreck. It is a miracle that Mr. Harris was not killed also. Mr. Wallace, whose home was at Charleston Hopi, Va., where the funeral was held, was a graduate of Hampton Institute, where he and Mr. Harris, who is a native of Portsmouth, Va., were both members of the Class of 1918. The firm had developed a joint business. Both young men were active in the Masons and Elks fraternalism. THE COCILE SHOP Harlem's Most Attractive Millinery Emporium. Colored Women Are Making Good In New York Commercially in business for more than ten years. In two and a half years ago she moved her business into larger quarters at 2202 Seventh avenue and installed new and modern machinery. She has been quite busy since her location and at present has several orders of four and five hundred dollars. Her busy season is now on and she is employing five people as assistants. Mrs. Needles has not only been successful in building up her business, but has taught the fur trade to a number of colored people and has helped them to secure positions. Recently she has been trying to get in touch with all colored furriers, manufacturers and salesmen, with the purpose of forming a trade association. The three other local colored furriers have responded to her suggestion, but so far she has not been able to bear from anyone outside the city. Has Exhibited in Paris Another pioneer colored woman is Mme. E. L. Pitts, who is nationally known as a dressmaker and milliner. She has been in business for thirty years first at Macon and August, Ga., and later in New York. In 1901 she opened her first store in New York and in a few years she was in the heart of the shopping district, first at Broadway, and 69th street and later next door to the Claridge Hotel at Broadway and 44th street. Mme. Pitts is an original designer of hats and in 1914 exhibited some of her creations in Paris. She has also exhibited some of her hats and dresses at the St. James Hotel and other large hotels of the city. Her health broke down in 1917 and for a time she had to retire from business. In closing her business she was compelled to break the lease on her Broadway store and was sued for $70,000. The store was easily rented again, however, and the damages were much less than the amount asked for. Her new store is well fitted up and Mme. Pitts is now employing three milliners to assist her. Her health is so much improved she is planning to again open a millinery and dressmaking school, and in a short time hopes to again teach, as she did when she first came to New York. An Attractive Stere Perhaps the largest and most successful colored millinery store in New York is the Cecile Shop, which recently opened at 2257 Saventh avenue. Mme. DeSilva, who conducts this store is one of the most prominent milliners and designers of hats in New York, having received her training in several of the large stores down town. She is an original designer of hats and has patrons in all parts of the country. Her store is beautifully fitted up and has one of the most attractive windows in Harlem. She moved to her new location during the week of August 20, when the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pybias was in session, and that week she sold hats to a number of out-of-town customers, including the Misses Eileen Daniels and E. Jones, Philadelphia; Mrs. C. Phillips and Mrs. Bertha Hall, Chattanooga, Tenn.; Mrs. J. Boston, Pittsborg; Mrs. Minnie Fletcher, Akron; Ohio: Miss Kiner, Cleveland; Mrs. Geneva Brown, Columbus; Ohio: Miss May, Curtis, Chicago and Mrs. Johnston, Detroit. Mme. DeSilva has been in business in New York for about five years. Her store was formerly at 161 West 136th street. Her hats are all original designs and she numbers among her customers several prominent people of both races, one of whom is Anita Stewart, the actress. 135th Street Library In the September magazines which come to the library reading-room, several writers, residents of this community, are represents "The Century" has a poem, "My City," by James Weldon Johnson, while Eric D. Waldron has contributed an article on Negro migration to "Current History." His article appears with one by Marcus Garvey and one by Judge R. W. Winston of North Carolina, and the magazine announces the three articles as "a symposium approaching the Negro question from three different angles." You will find the discussion worth reading. Mr. Waldron has also a story of Negro life in the September "Smart Set." A copy of this story may be had in the reading-room. The Art Exhibit continues to attract visitors. Several galleries by B. A. Harrison of Beverly Caroline have been called to the exhibition. The Great talent among colored artists records for Columbia. And there are many other Bessie Smith "Blues" you will want to own.

Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky and North Carolina retain the same number of delegates as in 1920, as do the territories of Alaska, Porto Rico and Hawaii, the District of Columbia and the Philippine Islands. Tennessee gains six more than were sent to the last convention, New York gains four and Massachusetts three. The other states gain two each, except Virginia, with only one more. The action of the Republican National Committee is based on a resolution adopted just prior to adjournment of the 1920 convention, after it had been offered by Paul Howland of Ohio, who was chairman of the committee and rules and order of business. This resolution authorized the national conventions to adopt a just and equitable basis of representation. The rules adopted by the committee under this resolution are as follows: Legal Voters Only "First-Only legal and qualified voters shall participate in a Republican primary, caucus, mass meeting or mass convention, held for the purpose of selecting delegates to a county, district or State convention. Only such legal and qualified voters shall be elected as delegates to county, district and State conventions. "Second-State and district conventions shall be composed of delegates who are legal and qualified voters. Such delegates shall be apportioned among the counties, parishes and cities of the State or district having regard to the Republican vote therein. "Third-The next Republican national convention and also conventions thereafter until otherwise ordered shall be composed of delegates as follows: Delegates at Large " (a) Delegates at large: "1. Four delegates at large from each State. "2. Two additional delegates at large for each representative at large in Congress from any State. "3.

"(e) Alternate delegates— "One alternate delegate to each delegate to the National Convention. "(d) Special provisions— "1. That the total number of delegates to which any State is entitled shall be chosen from the State at large, if the law of the State in which the election occurs so requires. "2. That, in the case of any State electing all Representatives in Congress from the State at large, such State shall be entitled to as many delegates, elected at large as though the State were divided into separate Congressional districts." NEGRO TAXI OWNERS ORGANIZERS FOR BETTER SERVICE TO CLIENTS (Continued from First Papu) meeting was held last week at the home of Walker Dorsey, in the Clarissa Apartments, which was attended by eleven owners, who operate twenty-six cabas, and plans were discussed looking forward to the opening of a central headquarters, to be kept open night and day, whereby all the taxicabs affiliating would be subject to calls sent in under one telephone call. One of the advantages of this plan, as pointed out by the owners, is that patrons of the service would be assured of securing accommodation practically instantaneously at any hour of the day or night, with the assurance that only the safest and most trustworthy service will be obtained. These men are seeking a convenient location for their headquarters and the plan will be put into effect as soon as this is done. In last week's Age it was recorded that there are 237 taxicabs owned and operated by colored men, but more recent figures, collected by C. A. Davis of 116 West 135th street, shows twenty-seventh store, with perhaps a number that have not been recorded. This raised the total number of taxicabs owned by colored men to 264, and of course these are also driven by colored men. In addition there are a number of cabs owned by white firms but on which colored men are employed as chauffeurs. These firms refuse absolutely to employ colored men as drivers—the Mogul Checker, the American Yellow Taxi, and the Fay Taxicab Inc. It is stated also that the first two companies not only have colored men from the driver's wheel, but also close the doors of their garages to them as machinists, oilers or cleaners. The last-mentioned, however, does employ, according to reports made to The Age, a number of colored men as cleaners, although none are allowed to work as oilers, mechanics or drivers. To Give Best of Service The colored owners, in a statement to the public, declare that they are trying to give the best of service to the residents of Harlem, hoping that in return the people will show their appreciation by giving their patronage to the cabs driven by colored men. Referring to the twenty-seven additional cabs recorded as owned by colored men, the owners say that there are a number more unaccounted for at present, but which will be included. The owners continue by saying that an effort has been made to explain to the people, concerning the difficulty experienced by the colored taxicab chauffeur in getting employment from the white companies, which made it necessary for these men to buy more than 264 cabs for themselves in order to rectify this condition and to protect the race both from a business standpoint and financially. The race can help in this particular by using the cabs operated by this group, promising satisfactory and courteous service to all patrons. Colored Cleaners Are Employed By Fay Taxicab, Inc. It has been brought to the attention of The Age that although the Fay Taxi-cab, Inc., with offices at 1540 Broadway, give employment to no colored chauffeurs, oilers or mechanics, it does give work to about eighty colored men as cleaners in two garages on 49th street, between 11th and 12th avenues. Thomas Sterrett and Harold A. Jones are two of the men employed by the company, and they state that the head of the company has proven himself a good employer to the colored men who work for the company. In connection with their work the men employed there have organized a membership society, the Fay Benevolent Association, which provides for sick and death benefits for its members, with other advantages. Sterrett and Jones give no reason why colored-chauffeurs and mechanics are not employed by the company, but they feel that justice to the company requires that it be made known that a number of, colored men are on the company's pay rolls as cleaners only. The Pay Taxicab, Inc. operates some 400 cabs, with white drivers only, and employs only white mechanics and oilers.

CAUFFIEL Arbitrary and Illegal Action Followed Pistol Duel in Which Three Were Killed Arbitrary and Illegal Action Followed Pistol Duel in Which Three Were Killed Johnstown, Pa.—Following the pistol duel in Roseland, a suburb, two weeks ago, when Leo A. Young, was killed after he had killed two policemen and wounded four others, one of whom has since died, the community has been aroused and stirred to an unusual degree by the arbitrary action of Mayor Joseph Caufield, who ordered that all Negroes who had not resided in Johnstown for at least seven years had to leave the city. - When the legality of this action was questioned, the mayor declared that he was above the law in this instance, and that he did not care whether the action was legal or illegal. He charged that there was danger of an outbreak, with the Ku Klux Klan acting against the Negroes, and that only prompt action on his part averted this possibility. When the attempt to arrest Leo Young resulted in the accompanying fatalities, the first action taken was to imprison some thirty Negroes, although there was nothing to indicate that Young was given any assistance. In addition, squads of state police, with heavy patrols of the city police, guarded the streets of Roseland and proved amply able to take care of the situation. I wishes to announce to the public that she has severed business relations with the Nature True Scalp Specialty Company, Inc. And that she is no longer connected with Edgar D.

(Closed Saturday) It is currently believed by many that the mayor's action is really a bid for support from the Klan element, and it has been hinted that he is more than passively in sympathy with the masked group. He gave as one of his reasons for action that "No less than a dozen flaming crosses, were burned on the hill tops around the city," and he said he swore in extra policemen, arranging for help from state police, and "then began disarming the Negroes." The mayor explained his action with regard to the seven-year limit by saying that the old Negro residents are all right, but that many of the newcomers are "bad" people, including ex-convicts, but gave no basis for this change. Special advices to the The Age being the information that Capt. Fink, one of the seriously wounded officers, is a member of the Klan, and that Mayor Caufield is a Klansman, running for reelection and bidding for Klan support. It is reported also that many Negroes' have become frightened at the mayor's order and have needlessly left Johnstown. The press and pulpit are practically unanimous in defending the Negro against the mayor's order, and Governor Pinchot has declared that he will exhaust every authority of the state in seeing the colored men and women in Johnstown are protected in their citizenship rights. Mayor Caulfield's action against liberty of movement for the colored population went even further, for he issued an order that no assemblage of any description, save church meetings, could be held by Negroes. This puts a ban on all picnics, public or private dances, and social affairs of all descriptions. An attempt was made to solve the feelings of old residents among the race by classifying them as different from the ones who have come to Johnstown within the last seven years, which is declared to be a ridiculous assumption.

The new plan of apportionment for delegates to the Republican National Convention of 1924 puts a premium on voting. According to the official announcement, the number of delegates to the convention will conform more nearly to the number of Republican voters. This will materially reduce the size of the delegations from several of the Southern States and increase the representation from the North and West. The new plan of apportionment for delegates to the Republican National Convention of 1924 puts a premium on voting. According to the official announcement, the number of delegates to the convention will conform more nearly to the number of Republican voters. This will materially reduce the size of the delegations from several of the Southern States and increase the representation from the North and West. The total number of delegates under this new plan is fixed at 1,036, against 984 in the convention of 1920. The Southern States which suffer a loss of delegates as compared with 1920 are as follows: Georgia, 8; Louisiana, 3; Mississippi, 8; South Carolina, 7; Texas, 8. All the other States gained from one to six delegates, except Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky and North Carolina, which remain the same. New York will have 92 delegates in the next convention, a gain of four. Tennessee makes the largest gain of any State, jumping from 20 to 26. These changes in representation tend to reduce the political power of the South in Republican conventions. They will also lessen the opportunities for Southern politicians of both races to trade delegates for patronage in the struggle between presidential candidates. So far as the Negro is concerned, this loss of political power in the South should be made up by gains in the North and West. The number of Negro voters has largely increased in these sections and with proper enrollment and organization, these voters should become a more important factor in the choice of district and State delegates. This reduction of representation in the South should also put the race on its mettle to figure as a voting factor in State and National elections. Despite the discriminatory voting laws in many of the Southern States, there are localities where the Negro can exercise the franchise by paying the poll tax and registering at the proper time. Even in the North where the franchise is free to all qualified voters, there are too many who fail to register and vote, either at the primaries or at the general election. The man or woman who fails to te deprives himself of a voice in the government for which he is taxed, and to which he looks for public improvements and protection to life and property. The right to vote is the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The total number of delegates under this new plan is fixed at 1,036, against 984 in the convention of 1920.

A news dispatch from Johnstown, Pa., last week stated that more than 2,000 Negroes had left that city since Mayor Joseph Cauffiel declared that only Negroes resident in that city for seven years would be allowed to remain. The reason assigned for this sentence of exile, without trial, was the killing of two policemen and the wounding of four others by a Negro, who had quarreled with his wife. The Mayor stated that he feared an outbreak, unless he acted promptly and this sentence of exile for so-called newcomers was the result. The mention of a "dozen A news dispatch from Johnstown, Pa., last week stated that more than 2,000 Negroes had left that city since Mayor Joseph Cauffel declared that only Negroes resident in that city for seven years would be allowed to remain. The reason assigned for this sentence of exile, without trial, was the killing of two policemen and the wounding of four others by a Negro, who had quarreled with his wife. The Mayor stated that he feared an outbreak, unless he acted promptly and this sentence of exile for so-called newcomers was the result. The mention of a "dozen flaming crosses" on the hilltop around the city figured in the Mayor's statement and seemed to suggest that he was actuated by the Ku Klux Klan in his proclamation of banishment. Now, a decree of exile used to be a favorite device exercised by dictators in some of the South American countries to get rid of obnoxious citizens or foreigners, but we did not know that it was recognized as a legal punishment or procedure under the laws of any State in the Union. It would seem to be in order for Governor Pinchot to investigate the actions of this Johnstown mayor and determine whether he acted within the limits of the law. It does not seem right that a Negro resident who may own property in Johnstown and yet have been a citizen of that place for six years or less, should be exiled in this summary fashion. Pennsylvania has a criminal code providing for the legal trial and punishment of those.charged with murder or manslaughter, which should be invoked to cover the alleged killing of the policeman. The wholesale exile of Negro residents because of that killing seems unwarranted on any theory of law. TYING UP TO CANDIDATES. In view of the fact that the next Republican National convention will not meet nearly a year, there seems to be some unease precipitance among the politicians' organizations of the race is tying up certain candidates for the Presidency.ourse, if Mr. Harding had survived to but his term, he would have been the ideal candidate to succeed himself for a second term. But the same principle is not work in the case of Mr. Coolidge, look up his unfinished task. Before the meeting of the next convention, the present occupant of the Presidential office may have convinced the party that it is the best equipped candidate to be the ticket in the coming campaign. It is early yet for the public mind to become decided on that proposition. Politicians and political organizations are now declaring themselves in favor of Mr. Coolidge for the Presidency are proudly acting without any more substantive than the desire to stand in a favorable light with the dispensing power of local patronage. The pledge of support or endorsement may candidate for public office should be used on the careful weighing of his public record and public service. There is danger lying up too soon to an unimproved and undermined candidate, especially when there is abundance of suitable presidential timber in the woods. Instead of allowing cool junt to be swept away by the hope of a present political appointment, why be of only a temporary character, a conscious politician should scan the carefully, weighing the past performance with candidate before climbing on any baggon. The policy of conciliating the white Southerns has been a fatal obsession with any Republican Presidents and candidate should be a 'danger signal and a warning to his weakness has led to surrender of vital principles, with the visionary hope of bringing white Republican votes in the South far the only result has been the filling of several offices with members of the Ku Klux Klan and the aggravation of bitterness in political relations, with a steady decrease in number of Republican votes cast. Before the Negro voters tie up to any candidate for the Presidency, he should be praised for a square deal before and after. In view of the fact that the next Republican National convention will not meet for nearly a year, there seems to be some undue precipitance among the politicians and organizations of the race is tying up to certain candidates for the Presidency. Of course, if Mr. Harding had survived to fill out his term, he would have been the logical candidate to succeed himself for a second term. But the same principle does not work in the case of Mr. Coolidge, who took up his unfinished task.

The policy of conciliating the white South, which has been a fatal obsession with so many Republican Presidents and candidates, should be a danger signal and a warning. This weakness has led to surrender of vital party principles, with the visionary hope of gaining white Republican votes in the South.

WOMEN ON RENT GOUGING. the organization of a new rent payers station by colored residents of Harlem states that the housing situation has isved but little since last year. The newted officers of the association, who are men, declared that they were ready to finish fight to protect colored tenants. Just Harlem against greedy and unreuse landlords. They claimed that the c The organization of a new rent payers association by colored residents of Harlem indicates that the housing situation has improved but little since last year. The newly elected officers of the association, who are all women, declared that they were ready for a finish fight to protect colored tenants of West Harlem against greedy and unreasonable landlords. They claimed that the colored landlord is harder on colored tenants than the white landlords, with the possible exception of absentee landlords. This is a serious accusation to the spread broadcast without a thorough investigation of the matter. It may be admitted that many landlords of both races have taken advantage of the scarcity of new housing to exact the high rent rents possible for the buildings they own. These high rents have been rendered more extortionate by the cupidity of the tenants in subletting rooms or apartments at an increase of 50 or 100 per cent, on the original rent. Thus profiteering has been added to profiteering until the final result has been extortion and piracy. On the other hand, certain owners of property have been unable to raise their rents to such a figure as would insure a reasonable return on the capital invested. In one case where the owners of a tenement sought to raise rents to a point that would give a return of six per cent. on their investment, they were cited to appear before the Mayor's Rent Commission by the tenants concerned. While the chairman of the commission admitted the fairness of the rents demanded he advised a lower figure on the ground that the tenants did not look as if they could pay any more. So the owners not desiring to test their rights in court continued to accept a return of less than four per cent. on their money. Before charging a landlord with profiteering, it is but just to find out what return he is receiving on his investment. From eight to twelve per cent would not be an unreasonable profit on tenement house or flat property in the present congestion involving wear and tear not covered by ordinary repairs or depreciation. It is right for the tenants to combine for protection, and in cases where they consider the rents extortionate, to bring the landlords before the Mayor's Commission or test their rights in court. But it is not fair to indict all landlords as profiteers, without an investigation of the costs of maintenance and the actual return they receive on their investment. The rent payers of Harlem as a rule have encouraged profiteering by keeping a steady demand for housing in that section and submitting apartments at an increased rate. Few of them refuse to pay increases or even take the matter before the Mayor's Commission or a civil magistrate for a hearing. There is a remedy for rent profiteering to be found in the courts if the tenants will seek it. Such organizations as the one formed by the women of Harlem can do much to bring the tenant and landlord together on a fair basis, if they proceed in the proper manner, with due regard for the rights of both parties. encouraged profiteering by keeping a steady demand for housing in that section and subletting apartments at an increased rate.

THE MINISTER TO HAITI Beginning with the appointment of Ebenezer D. Bussett by President Grant, some half century back, the Minister to Haiti has been an American of African extraction, as a fitting recognition of the origin of this Caribbean republic. The only exception to this rule, previous to President Wilson's administration, was in the second term of Grover Cleveland, when he appointed a white man from Virginia. To offset this, President Cleveland nominated C. H. J. Taylor as Minister to Bolivia, but the Republican Senate refused to confirm him. When Secretary Bryan made a clean sweep of nearly all the colored diplomatic and consular officers, during Mr. Wilson's first term, the Minister to Haiti was supplanted by a white appointee, who has remained in office under the American occupation. The office of Minister to Haiti has stood for half a century as the blue ribbon of the diplomatic service for the Negro Republicans. The failure to fill this office by one of that race in the early part of President Harding's term was felt to be a grievance, due to the caste distinctions raised by the rule of the Navy Department through the United States Marine Corps. Secretary Hughes in his recent defence of the Monroe doctrine, sought to justify the military occupation of Haiti, on the ground that this government is "seeking to make its relation to Haiti beneficial to the Haitian people." He said that it has no other aim but to establish peace and stability, adding: "It will welcome the day when it can leave Haiti with the reasonable assurance that the Haitians will be able to remain an independent government competent to keep order and to discharge its international obligations." Judged by the standards that apply to any of the other Latin-American republics, that day has arrived. Haiti should be relieved of the rule by American marines and bayonets and allowed to elect her own congress and president without duress. The day has arrived when the precedent-set by President Grant should be returned to, by the appointment of a properly equipped colored American-as Minister, to that government, closing away with the manifestations of Southern color prejudice imported by the Southern appointees of the Wilson administration.

The synthetic whiskey made from alcohol he promoiced "as far removed from real American rye whiskey as a rotten apple is from a ripe mellow one." The Prohibition Director must have tried a sample from a Harlem delicatessen. Taxicabs and beauty shops are prominent features on Harlem thoroughfares. Some three hundred of these motor vehicles are owned and operated by colored men. The beauty shops are usually the result of feminine enterprise and are notable for attractive window displays. One establishment in particular makes a showing equal to any found on Fifth avenue. Racial enterprise is teaching out into new channels, whenever an opening is apparent. Discussing the development of fraternal organizations, the Savannah Journal said: It will be necessary, though, in order, to assure continual growth for a Fraternal organization that those who are at the head of such organization be alert to every move that would advance the interests of the order, both numerically and financially. To do this, it will be necessary that the officers be circumspent regarding the class of new members who shall enter the Order. They should see to it as far as possible that men of sound mind and sound bodies and of regular habits enter the Order. This should assure so far as human ingenuity can grasp the situation, a state of increase in membership and a healthy one. The needs of the Order should also be constructive along other lines. They should study to bring forth new methods which would attractive, not only to the members already identified with the Order, but to those eligible for membership and manifestly interested in the accomplishments of Fraternity. We are glad to see that the Journal also emphasizes the need for safeguarding the funds of such organizations. Accurate bookkeeping methods and auditing of accounts, by expert accountants are necessary precautions. The failure of an expected state political meeting to function prompted the Pittsburgh American to the following editorial expression: Poverty of leadership and organization is a pathetic fact in the political existence of the Negroes of Western Pennsylvania. They have neither leadership nor organization—except in imagination. They have a supply of appointed leaders and shift-shift leaders who are not individuals for their own selfish ends—nothing more. Sung "good citizen"—men and women—who are more anxious for "prisoners" than they are to see something really done and have a part in doing something, being on to them make shift organizations and follow their political poverty. They darn not lift up their heads in objection, fearing they will be cut off. So they follow merely on—like pilgrims without aim or direction in life. The remedy proposed for this condition is, leadership of a high-mounted public type and political organ luxuries built for public service. This is the right idea, but it demands a great degree of self-sacrifice on the part of those called to leadership. Under the headline of "Crazy News," the Jacksonville Florida Sunset included the following item: The City Commission conveniently forgets about Negroes when building swimming pools and paved streets, but never forgets to leave him out of the tax list. That sounds like a same statement of facts as they are found in most cities of the South. "Hooker's Bend" was drawn from life. The Seattle Enterprise printed the following story of the killing of a battle-steward at Bremerton: Edward Lewis, Jones, colored, wardroom steward aboard the U. S. N. New York, died Monday of poisoning due to inhaling the fumes of hydrochloric acid. Part of his duties was the cleaning of officers uniforms. To brighten, the gold braid of the uniforms hydrochloric acid is used. Engaged in this work Jones by himself, he spilled body oil, spilling the contents. Inhaling the fumes he fell unconscious in the room where he remained until discovered by a fellow steward. He was removed to the ship's hospital and died two hours later from the effects of the gas. Jones has relatives in Mississippi to which place the body was shipped. This accident goes to show that service in the Navy has its risks in times of peace as well as in war. One may escape the dangers of submarine bombs to die of the fumes of a cleaning fluid. Commenting on the collapse of a local real estate scheme, the Norfolk Journal and Guide said: A number of Negroes in New York's Harlem got a verbal option on a desirable bunch of land near the big city and collected some $300,000 on sales of jots, when the county in which the property is located, stepped in and bought the property from under them, paying spot cash for it, some $350,000, while the Negro buyers were to pay $500,000. A reasonable question is, why those people did not buy an option in the property before they offered it for sale in subdivision. Not to have done so looks much like the case in the book. It is dangerous to offer for sale that which you do not own, or in which you have not an option strong enough to warrant your disposal of the thing. Wildest schemes are dangerous, and the people everywhere should be on their guard against them. This shows how such real estate schemes strike the disinterested observer, when the bottom falls out. The death of H. F. McGregor. Republican National Committeeman of Texas was the occasion for an interesting review of the political history of that State by Editor Love of the Houston Texas Freeman. Speaking of the split of the Republicans into two factions, called the "black and tans" and the "illy-white," he said: H. F. McGregor initiated and indulged passive resistance to machine rule in Texas 22 years on a dead stretch, and when his opportunity came he met out to his opponents the same tactics, if not the same dose, they prescribed for him. It is not true, as some say, that McGregor and the "lily whites" killed the president of the University of Texas Mr. Cursey, himself, at the Republican state convention at Dallas in 1894, took the first step himself in digging his own political grave when he, Cursey, lifted Dr. John Grant of Sherman, Texas, out of obscurity and made him chairman of the Republican state executive committee. The open fight between these two state leaders started on March 1896, at Alverns Hall, where he was for Allison and one for McKinley, were elected to the National convention that nominated McKinley at St. Louis. Everybody who knows anything at all about Texas Republican politics knows that in that presidential campaign it was McKinley against the field, and that Mark Hanna, McKinley's sponsor, dominated Browns' presidential field, a fresh force ousting Cuney from the position he held on the National committee, Lark Hanna made overtures to Cuney, requesting him to support McKinley, instead of Allison, for president. Cuney refused to do that because of his gratitude to Allison, who, with General I. S. Clarkson, also of Iowa and Browns' secured-appointment from President Bush as a collector of the port at Galveston. This is the actual record, not guesswork. Cuney's political defeat was as creditable to his sense of loyalty as it was indicative of his personal and political courage. He met defeat with his colors firing. Negro Migration. From the New York Herald. The reports from Southern States announces the return of Northwest who had previously migrated Northwest who describe a natural movement. The industrial demand for labor varies widely and there are successive flood and ebb tides of workers. The tendency is shown clearly in the figures of immigration and emigration. During the period from July 1922, to May last, for example, 478,733 immigrants entered this country and 76,036 Labor more mobile than ever before. Labor more mobile than ever before. Some men back home not less irresistible than it drives others out to seek their fortunes. It is not practicable to measure the trend of Negro migrations with the same precision which attaches to immigration and immigration for the reason that only during the dermal census is a reckoning made. The figures offered by the Bureau of the Census earlier estimates of the extent of the movement of Negroes from the South. The 1880 census showed 789,348 Southern born Negroes living in the West and North. The figure for 1910 was 404,344. Some born in the North and West had moved South. The total migration from the South in 1910 could not therefore have been far more 400,000. Immigration during one year has trebled this entire movement more than once. In 1914, for instance, the immigration of 1,234,400 was three The Age Readers' Forum times as large as the entire Negro migration of the six year period. Still it is sure that the shortage of labor due to registered immigration stimulated the recruiting of Negro labor in the South. Workers began for the first time to leave the cotton states in large numbers. Previously residents of the northern tier of Southern States had been the ones to move. An winter approaches and labor in the open becomes scarcer and more difficult those born in a warmer climate will feel the present potter's strain.

An Old Time Danger May Return. By Dr. B. S. HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis Association. It is possible for New York City to have a small-pox epidemic—but it is not probable that it shall have. If your family and every family should neglect to have the children vaccinated against this disease there would arise a serious situation, however, and it is against such a possibility that I would warn you. In the first six months of this year there were four cases of small-pox reported in this city, and in July the Department of Health was notified of three more cases and four other cases were found to have existed and run their course unrecognized until late September, and those patients were made ill as a result of the coming from North Carolina of a young man who had the disease. The mother of the young fellow came down with small-pox and a friend of his who visited in the home also succumbed. He was a dangerous neighbor. This is a particularly interesting series of cases to my readers, for seven cases of small-pox were observed among the races having the darker skins are more susceptible, to small-pok than the other races. It has been so long since we have had any great number of serious cases of small-pox that many have forgotten that it was once the most dreaded of plagues, taking life after life, causing blindness and deformity, scaring and marking the victims until they lost resemblance to their former selves. Hundreds and thousands of people went through the terrible siege, sustaining loss of money, time, and money. All this disastrous business could have been prevented had the generations behind us known of the simple and reliable method of protecting the population by vaccination. I might call to your attention right here that, of those seven cases, of which I spoke in the second paragraph of this article, not one had been successfully vaccinated. We know exactly how to prevent small-pox. Vaccination is not dangerous; it is in effect by your physical office for a reasonable fee that it can be had for the asking, at the clinics of the Board of Health and the Health Department building down on Pearl street. To be safe, have each member of your family vaccinated. Be sure that the vaccination "takes", and if done on a child repeat the treatment when he reaches the age of thirteen or fourteen. If you should "run into a case" be vaccinated at once regardless of previous treatment. You should spread by the secretions of the mouth and by the crusts of the eruption. Sunlight and fresh air reduce the power of the infective agent. American Color Prejudice As Exhibited in France The Age is in receipt of several communications from Archibald Johnson, an American colored man, who has been living in England for a number of years and who is a barrister practicing law before the British Courts. Mr. Johnson has been spending some time in Switzerland, and writes illuminatingly of conditions in Europe as relate to the outcroppings of American prejudice as has been referred to frequently in recent news dispatches. Writing from the Hotel Terminus Zweisimmen, Canton Berne, Switzerland, Mr. Johnson comments as follows: "I will send a clipping from La Suisse, a newspaper of Geneva, in which the editor quotes the Foreign Minister in Paris as warning tourists, that is, Americans, that they are too exorbitant in their demands in asking that colored men and women be excluded from public places to suit their prejudices. I warn colored ladies and girls to travel in Europe, be influenced by such purpose or intention of the French nation to permit such dauntingly attempts out of race prejudice. "A free translation of the note published by the Miffliner for Foreign Affairs would read thus: 'Some tourists (i.e. Americans) forgetting that they are our guests and that by that fact they are held to respect our usages and our laws, have at times by many attempts shown violent dislike to sit beside, in public places, areas of color, natives from French. They have had to demand their expulsion in insulting terms. If like incidents are renewed, there will be serious retaliation. The article is headed 'Some Tourists Are Too Impulsive.' "Some underbred, half-educated Americans come over here and attempt to run amuck among colored ladies of any country of the world. This eminent French statesman, in issuing and publishing his note, administers a waffle-stuffed stupef to such people. The sight of a colored face in a hotel dining room is the same as a red rag to a ball. Personally, I have had to complain to police and city officials several times and have held those handsmen, who seem to think they are still in Texas, put in their right places." The Paris papers, a few months ago, gave an account of two colored men and two women, two singles, two and his wife, coming out of Paris on a nightingale, and these two, assisted Saturday, September 22, 1923 SUGGESTIONS TO CARELESS BUSINESS PEOPLE Many places are untidy and messy in enter: Windows unclea- files, dust and dirt; handy and solidm used; good lessly displayed and as hardied.

We find colored barbers smearing our faces. Would we find colored men living our food? Lifting his roll with hers? No. it is all she shuffles live to influence mankind and higher prestige for your mad American. "Let youd readers know the low-class Americans are coursing themselves and calling down the origin of the great, cultured, and impure French nation on their heads. A trope is acquired and disguised as being an esthetic and select beauty. You'd Mr. Editor, know full well the prejudice too often hides its head as the sun goes down and nobody is on. Every young college America, especially if he be a woman and a student, has had experience enough to be sure there is nothing so delicate about this social class. Colleagues have a student in Lewiston and Andover and friends. If this color prejudice nauseous and galling to the color brother, whence the color-mongering horde of mulatto in every community." "And another thing-on-must when a white woman comes to Paris London and gets out of money, person she is apt to apply to, some gentleman-colored man (1855) of the most doers. In time of distress the white race can dispense with the 'color' feeling. "France is representing all Europe this matter. Let these wild Americans sit up and take notice what things France has to say to you. I make no excuse or analogy for asking up this matter, for if any man of a race has suffered severely from color hate, I am that man."

Virgin Islander-Puts The Record Straight In the August 18th issue of the New York Age was published from Dr. Lorning B. Palmer, physician, stationed at St. John's Islands, in which reference was to John A. Lighbourn, preacher "The Gift Store" at St. Thomas having been a member of the staff of the New York Tribune Horace Greely, was editor in chief. Under, date of September 31, 1884 bourn writes The Age asking for a slight correction of that statement the effect that he was a compiler of the Tribune and not a member editorial staff. His letter is as follows: "Editor of The New York Age have to thank my friend, Dr. L. R. Herfer for the flattering notice he made in his article appearing in The Age on the 18th August the same time. I should like to correction, for he has certain me with far greater honors than I carry. Very likely, in the of our business that at time of the Draft Rios in New York City in July, 1863, I was sticking in the office of the Tribune, as I was youngest then; and further, that several years prior to the sale of New York Herold I was its correspondent in this island.

There has been a notable increase in places of the saloon type, both those which have some appearances of an oldtime barroom and those which are camouflaged under unconceal appearing auspices. This is especially true in Harlem, it seems, as there are new places opening up almost over eight. One of the worst features of this development is the bringing to Marlmont of an objectionable class of men, a group whose only thought is the making of a dollar through the pandering to the worst desires of certain elements of the community. This pandering, it is pointed out, leads inevitably and surely to the debauching and debasing of not only the vicious element, but entraps and bainseirice many whose weakness of moral thre makes them unable to resist contaminating surroundings. Many Marlmontes are asking the question: Why are these outsiders of other races permitted to come into this particular neighborhood and operate ventures which have no good quality but which only debauch and debast? It is had enough, say these people, for men of the community to profit from catering to weak or vicious inclinations, but it is immeasurably worse to have those who are in no wise connected do this thing. The boldness with which these people carry on their illicit trade brings back again and again the thought that someone in authority must be aware of their actions, and if so, why is it they are permitted to carry on? The answer is declared by many to be found in the surreptitious but rapid growth of the private financial holdings of many of the officials, Federal and local. Recently, places have been opened in the immediate neighborhood of certain Harlem churches, and an ugly and loathsome rumor is gaining ground that in some cases objection which is not widespread and officials of some of these churches were changed to tacit approval or silence, at least, when certain contributions were received from bootlegging sources, intended either for personal use, to assist in paying the mortgage on the church, or to help in the "expense of educating my son." This phase will be gone into more extensively on another occasion. and he endeared himself to those with whom he associated mostly by his unassuming disposition, kindly acts and steady habits. He was a consistent and conscientious employee, having, for many years, operated on the New York, New Haven and Hartford R. R. between New York and Boston and had been up to the time he was taken ill, in charge of the buffer car on the Merchants Limited, the crack train of the New Haven System. It has been said that some of the regular patrons of this train were just as solicitous about him during his illness as were his friends. He leaves a wife, a daughter and a host of friends to mourn their loss. Mrs. Wright, the widow, is very well known in the City of Boston for her prominent interest in movements of all kinds for the betterment of women in general, and colored women in particular. The remains of the deceased were brought to New York and interred at Cypress Hills Cemetery. The funeral services were held at Bethel Church, 132nd street, near Lenox avenue, Sunday afternoon, September 9, 1923, at 1:30 o'clock. Rev. Dr. Thornton, the pastor, conducted the exercises; and in a masterly and touching manner, eulogized the many good qualities of the deceased. He also took occasion to pay the fraternity of Pullman porters, of which deceased was a member, a complimentary tribute by saying, "No matter to what heights of eminence some of may rise, there is a certain amount of gratitude that many of us owe to Pullman car." He further said that he begged the class to group of men, than the class who labor as Pullman porters; that in the land of Jim crowism and unreasonable prejudice (meaning the South) it is 'in many cases, the Pullman porter who makes it possible for the journey to be halfway bearable to those who have to travel down there. Among the associations of which Mr. Wright was a member and which attended the services, were the Clubmen's Beneficial League, the New York, New Haven and Hartford Association, the Pullman Porters' Athletic and Social Club, the Star Venus, and the Sportsmen's Club of Boston.

Brown. Wayne, Pa. Lynn. Mass. Waverly, Va. Greenville, S. C.-Friends of, Mrs. Marguerite Howland Bright, R. N.; are indignant at the statement contained in a special news story published in The Age of September 1 to the effect that Mrs. Bright was ousted from the superintendency of the St. Luke Hospital and School of Medicine, following her attempt to appoint a white board of trustees and take the hospital management out of the hands of the colored board. James A. Tolbert, known as "Cap Jim" to his familiars, gives a statement to the effect that trouble grew out of a difference which arose between Mrs. Bright and one of the race physicians supporting the hospital. The statement declared the board being involved in the purpose of investigating this matter and that certain remarks by the doctor referred to caused her to leave the board meeting. As a result of this action on her part, said Mr. Tolbert, the board passed a resolution that she should be suspended as superintendent, this action, he says being based upon her leaving the school, would cause the differences between her and the doctor or for any other reason. Mr. Talbert declares that the white people have contributed largely to the institution* for two years past, and that it is true that Mrs. Bright, with their help was practically running the hospital and that the colored board was glad enough for them to do it. It is denied emphatically that there was anything wrong in the arrangement between Mrs. Bright and the whites of Greenwich Village, the hospice for the blind of the colored board by Allen J. Graham, wealths cotton mill executive, and the board of trustees is composed of E. B. Holloway, chairman; Charles D. Brier, Seymour Carroll, E. W. Briggs, Dr. L. B. Morrison, Dr. Samuel S.

Ansel Bell Loses Close Decision to Terry Martin Ansel Bell, known in Harlem as Kid Butler, lost his second close fight to Providence Terry Martin at Quincy Barnes Stadium on Thursday night. September 13. Several weeks ago Bell was defeated by a narrow margin by Martin at the Commonwealth Club, and on Thursday night Martin won by an even narrow margin. The bout was fast throughout, but the only damage sustained by either barter was a cut eye by Martin. Many of the fans thought that the colored fighter had won. The weights were Bell 119; and Martin 121. St. Paul Begins Football Practice Lawrenceville, Va. - St. Paul's first week of football practice was a marked success in every respect, notwithstanding the fact that two days of inclement weather caused the thirty sturdy youngsters to remain indoors. Never before in St. Paul's twelve years of football have the veteran vanguard and the new men been able to generate energy in the early days of rigid training and hard practice. The new recruits seem to have a natural aptitude for football, and this is particularly pleasing to the coaches. Like new boys know what it requires to procure a variety of skills, and they are sparing themselves the game. They are putting all they have into the practice, and are progressing rapidly under their able tutoring.

Music Week Association, 299 Madison Avenue, Plans For City-Wide Competitions Leading Up To Finals During Annual Music Week, May, 1924. The fifth annual series of music week contests and concerts in New York City will start this year on October 15, the New York Music Week Association, 299 Madison avenue, announces. The competitions, intended both to bring out talents and to create public interest in good music, are sponsored by Otto H. Kahn, honorary president of the association. All amateurs art eligible, without regard to race or color. The city will be divided into forty-eight districts for the competitions, and there will be forty-five different classes of contests in each district. The winners of the district contests will go into borough contests, and the borough victors will meet in a city-wide meet during the music week next May. A large number of gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded to persons of all ages and qualifications in singing, playing of instruments, conducting of orchestra and musical composition. It is probable also that talented persons unable to get training will be awarded special financial aid if that is deemed advisable. Miss Isabel Lowden, director of the association, has issued a syllabus of the various contests, which may be obtained from the chairmen of the districts. The week of October 15-22 will be given over to one district in 'lower Manhattan, a district in Brownsville and one in Queens. The following week three districts in The Bronx will compete and the third week will witness contests in Richmond. Details have been arranged by Dr. T. Tertius Noble, of St. Thomas's Church, and George H. Gartlan, director of music in the public schools. Honorary members of the committee in charge include Leopold Auer, Harold Bauer, Arthur Bodansky, Walter Damrosch, Guilla Gatti-Casaza, Rubin Goldmark, Percy Grainger, Victor Herbert, Louise Homer, Mine. Sembrich and Josef Stransky. Registrations for the contest may be made now and copies of the syllabus are to be had from the association headquarters, 299 Madison avenue. Choral bodies from foreign-born communities will have a chance to compete. In all cases musicians will be on the committee of judges and contestants will be entered not by name but by number, in order to insure impartial awards being made. "Contests have provided a basis for step please now are you undoopap sqn to the present time." Miss Lowden said, in announcing details of the contests. "The feeling is rapidly growing for such competition here anyd the time seems tipe for inauguration of our comprehensive program. The program outlined is one in which all except those strictly in the professional class may have a part. We hope the results will be far-reaching in bringing widespread public interest to good music." Fisk Club Scholarship Beneficiary Leaves For Final Year at Fisk Univ. Among the students leaving New York on Wednesday night, September 20, to resume their studies at Fisk University Nashville, Term, will be Miss Lydia Mason of 45 West 20th street, who is completing her final year as a special music student in the college department. Miss Mason is the beneficiary of a scholarship awarded her three years ago by the Fisk University Club of Greater New York, of which Mrs. George E. Haynes is at present the acting president. The Club, in order to supplement its scholarship fund, is planning a matinee dance to be given at Renaissance Casino on the afternoon of Columbus Day, October 12, from 2 to 5.30 p.m., the arrangements for which are in the hands of a committee composed of A. J. Allison, chairman, Mrs. Haynes, Mrs. E. R. Alexander, Mrs. Matthew Virgil Boutte, R. J. Elzy and Charles McDowell.

Following this number a short address was made by the pastor, the Rev. S. H. V. Gumbs. The next number, a cirt., "Only Thee," was sung with her father. Her brother, Harry Cochran, jr., followed this number with a baritone solo, "Amelia." Her manager, Mr. Farrell, then told of her recent tour in the West and of her next tour to Canada.

AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE Hanging the seven wives of Bluebeard for scenes in "Bluebeard's 8th Wife" proved to be a costly operation for the Paramount West Coast studio. Conceded to be one of the most remarkable scenes in the picture is that when Gloria Swanson, the star, dreams the fable that has lived for ages, of Bluebeard, who took his wives to a dark chamber, where he hanged them, one by one. Seven of the most beautiful girls in Hollywood are seen as the seven wives in the modernized version of the ancient fable, which was adapted to the screen by Sada Cowan from the play by Alfred Savoir, and which comes to the Lincoln Theatre next week. When it was necessary to make the scenes of the seven wives hanging by their necks, Director Sam Wood became thoughtful. Hanging seven girls is a ticklish affair, for a slip might mean serious injury to one of them. Not desiring to risk the lives of the girls, Mr. Wood engaged Milba K. Lloyd, celebrated English sculptress, who made a wax model of each. These models were used in the hanging scenes, but were so like the originals that the difference could not be distinguished and—since it was a vision Miss Swanion was having—they did as well as the originals would have done. PANAMA JOE GANS BEATS ITALIAN JOE IN 15-ROUND BOUT Panama Joe Gans, who was defeated for the right to use the name "Joe Gans" by Italian Joe Gans several months ago, again won the right to the use of this name in a return bout of fifteen rounds at Commonwealth Club on Saturday night, September 15. Before a crowd which packed the house, Panama gave his more rugged opponent a boxing lesson, outpointing him in every round. The bout was fought at a fast pace with the colored fighter on the aggressive all the way. Toward the end he had the Italian swimming wildly but most of these wild swings landed on the colored fighter's elbows, shoulders and back. He and the judges awarded the de- ferment to Joe Gans.

WONDERING HOW "NO HIT" GAME NO THE MACH STILL BE LOST GAME Hildale Twirler Hold Pater son Silk Sex Hitless Until One Was Out in the Last Frame. Big Jim Winters, the lanky portside of the Hildale Club, had one foot in the Hall of Fame on Saturday last but with one man out in the ninth inning and only two more men more to retire to gain that coveted title of a "No Hit" pitcher, Jim faltered and before he, could regain his stride the Doherty Silk Pats, nationally known as the Patterson Silk Sox, had slapped out three hits, their entire total for the day and won the old ball game by the score of 1 to 0, the game being the fastest and best played of all the battles waged this year on Hildale Field. Up until Smith walked in the winnin' inning, with one out, Nip had just pitched to 25 batters, the Sox coming three up and three down in each round and nary a hit or anything resembling a hit could be garnered off Jim's deceptive delivery. After this walk, Gaston smashed one over second base, which Warfield managed to knock down, this being the first hit of the game by the Sox. Then Miller dumped one along third base line for the second and the third came when Paterson with the count two and three singled cleanly to left field, on which Smith came in with the only run of the game. Gaston was out stealing home; while Eschen struck out, it being Nip's ninth strike out victim. Winters started out in great fashion, striking out the first five men in succession. Hillmade threatened a couple of times but Milt Gaston, with his slow ball, was able to curb them before any damage could be inflicted. Milt rewarded a lot of credit to Eachen and Raymond in the outfield, who made a couple of wonderful coaches. The feature play of the game occurred in the sixth. With Warfield on first, Santop hit one too hot for Gastos to handle. Warfield who started at the crack of the bat, went to third, as Drum, the Sox' third sacker, left the station unguarded as he fielded Santop's hit. Smith, the Sox catcher, was covering third, so Warfield continued on to home plate. Then Miller, the first sacker, seeing the play ahead of him, sprinted desperately and completed the play by getting Warfield just as the latter did into the plate.

The attraction at this theatre for the week of September 24 will be the "Cresle Follies Revue," with Lucille Hegeman, Emmett Anthony, Quintard Miller, Alex Lovejoy, Grace Smith, Marcus Slater, Mildred Hudson, the Mississippi Trio, George McClennon, Baby Banks and a large chorus. The show has a number of new songs and some good dancing. Alex Gibbons Victor in Three Beats in Buffalo Alex Gibbons, one of the best local colored buffers, recently engaged in a series of three boats in Buffalo, N. Y., and was the victor in each of them. Last week he defeated Chief Halftown, a native Indian, and the week previous he scored knockouts over Al Turner and Jack Holland, breaking the latter's rib. According to his manager, Odel Crump, Gibbons will be seen in action in New York at an early date. Bobby Ridson, the hard hitting young crawled flyweight, added another victory to his record by defeating Joe Melissa in the eight round bout at the 16th century Artifony on Thursday 11. The fight was fast having a clear lead all the way. Bob 6fulters weighed 115 pounds. WILSON LAMB VOCAL SOUND "WILSON LAMB" "WILSON LAMB" "WILSON LAMB" SPORT COMMENT Jack Dempsey's victory over Luis Angel Flirpo has provoked a fresh discussion/ of the chance Harry Wills would have with the champions. The opinion seems to be growing that Wills would have very little chance, if he is ever lucky enough to get a fight with Dempsey. Two or three years ago Wills was the most dangerous heavyweight in the country and would have had a good chance with any fighter, but should he enter the ring now he would have several physical disadvantages to overcome. Not the least of these is the fact that he is now past the age when a fighter is considered at his best—he is thirty-three or four. Another serious handicap is his brittle hands. In his last fight with Glen Johnson, Wills broke his right hand on Johnson's head, and it is alleged that the condition of his hands is one of the reasons that Laddy Mullina has refused to allow him to fight in the mediocre battles offered him during the past year. His biggest asset would be what W. O. McGechan, the Sport Editor of the New York Herald, calls "the killer's instinct," the primitive desire to not only but to kill his opponent if possible. Outside the ring, Wills is a gentle and asygoing fellow, but in the ring he fights with a will to win as speedily as possible. Dempsey is also the same nervous type of a fighter and a bout between the two would no doubt be short. The bout would depend largely on which can hit harder. Wills is a better boxer than Dempsey and a better in-fighter, but there is no doubt that his chances with the champion are not so good now as they were a year ago. The next big fight New York will see will be at the opening of Madison Square-Garden on October 8, when Kid Norfolk faces Battling Siki in an international bout. Norfolk has been handicapped for several years because he could seldom get anyone his weight to fight him. He has usually fought heavy-weights, men over, 180 pounds, although he weighs only 170. Siki can make 175 pounds and in the matter of size and weight the fight will be a good match. The bout will probably attract a large crowd as many people are anxious to see the Conqueror of Georges Carpentier in action. On Sale: The N. Y.

Kid Norfolk, the colored light heavyweight champion of America, has been matched to meet Battling Siki, the French champion and former light heavyweight champion of the world. The bout will mark the opening of the winter boxing season at Madison Square Garden and will take place on October 8. "Tex" Rickard, the promoter of the fight, at first attempted to sign Harry Wills for the first bout with Siki in this country, but Wills manager refused to sign. It is thought that the bout will attract an unusually large crowd, as many people are curious to see Siki in action. Both fighters have already begun training, Norfolk at Madison Square Garden gymnasium and Siki at the Columbus club, Yonkers. George Godfrey, who is acting as sparing partner for Siki this week at the Lafayette Theatre, will assist in training him for his coming fight with Norfolk.

RICKARD PLANNING WILLS-FIRPO BOUT Report Has It That He Is to Build Arena for 125,000 In Connecticut for Battle Report Has It That He Is to Build Arena for 125,000 In Connecticut for Battle Report has it that Tex Rickard was staged the staged Fermipyr-Firpo battle at the Polo Grounds last week, had already completed plans for a Firpo-Will struggle in Connecticut next summer in a new arena that is to seat 125,000 fans and which is to be situated near Hartford. Rickard would not deny not after the rumor. It had been generally credited that if Wills was to get in a scrap with Dempsey the bout would have to be staged outside of this State and New Jersey and yet close enough to New York City to enable the fans here to attend the bout without the loss of too much time and the expenditure of too much money. The plan is, it is said, to have Wills and Firpo fight it out for a crack at Dempsey and the heavyweight crown. Firpo is said to have agreed to the fight and Paddy Mullins, Wills's manager, is declared to have tentatively agreed to the battle. Rickard, it is said, believes this fight will outdraw the Polo Grounds scrap and has planned an arena patterned after Boyle's Thirty Acres, to take care of the crowd, with 125,000 seats. It is also reported that Aunny Jim Coffroth wants to stage a Firpo-Dempsey return match, or a Firpo-Wills, or a Dempsey-Wills match at Tia. Juana, Lower California, this winter or next summer, and has made offer for the battle, but has as yet not succeeded in clinching any of the proposed matches. BASEBALL PROTECTORY OVAL East Trument Ave., near 100th St. Sunday Afternoon, Sept. 23 THE LINCOLN GIANTS v3 HILLDALE Game will start at 2 o'clock The World of Religion The fall season is here. At the hour for service, the church was well filled. The opening service was inaugurating. Rev. Charles Pope was serving and spoke of an entertainment that he will give on the first Monday in October. Following the remarks to Mr. Pope, an opportunity was given to the congregation to be heard and banks. A musical section was then rendered by the door while the floral offering was毕。 The sermon was preached by Dr. Henry He spoke on the Fourth Beatitude. "Blessed are they that humgain and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled," Matthew 5:26. The Beatitudes have been called Gates to Happiness. There are eight in number, each containing a blessing. They constitute the law of the king. King and throne claimed by him. He does not lay them down with the sternness of those written on the tables of stone. Here we have a rigid 'thou shalt' or 'thou shalt not' last of trumpet, no smoke of fire, no shake of mountain, but with a precept with a blessing attached coming from the lips of the Master—mull of grace and love. You will observe that there is a marked difference between this and the other links in the chain. The metak, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peaceful, the well-tended certain virtues. This blessing attaches but longing after a blessing no stronger desire could obtain than that of hunger and thirst—strong physical craving. Perhaps we have all been hungry citizens at sometime in our lives. Jesus we have seen others, and read about such ones in Japan this week. The Master takes these most familiar gravings, and applies them to the cravings of the soul. The Lord is looking into the heart, and speaks of the hap- ness that comes to those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Not what we have, but what we want to be, not what we have, but what we desire to have. What is hunger? It is to want, to crave feel an aching sense of crap- ness. Hunger is the good of nature and a sign of health. When it does not exist, the body is not normal. The healthy body craves for food, so only can a healthy soul crave for right success. "Our spiritual appetite will not be completely filled until we see Jesus face to face. I want to ask that we take our stand with David, when he said: As for me I will behold thy face in righteousness. I shall be saved when I awake with thy likeness." O JOHN, ever with us stay, Make all our moments calm and bright Shed over the dark night of sin away Shed over the world Thy Holy light" The Sunday school convened at 2 offices.

First Emmanuel Church And we do not believe that our Father, God, has any evil crenation from His Holy Spirit. Jesus our Lord the Emmanuel, in teaching his Agencies and Disciple the meaning of life, upon this occasion calls their attention to the true form of government into which they would come. He tells us the root of the kingdom idea of government in their mind, the thought structure of a true kingdom that encompasses the people of time, extended throughout country and whose ruler way our Father God. He speaks with authority to the bodies of the Jewish nation that which their fathers and ancestors should put down in the Kingdom of God. there, because of their subservile and rejection of Him as their true Messiah, the Eternal Son of God, would be kept on the outside of this kingdom where there would be weeping, and grumbling of teeth. He declares that many among them would have a period of regret and they would drive and bag for admission, but they would not be permitted to enter. and he further told them that many would come from the four corners of the compass of the earth, be advenient and sit down in the kingdom of God. To be Lord the Emmanuel rebounded the truth, revealed the true station of mankind in the mind of the universal spirit God. He showed that by true and proper thinking may discover and develop not infinite consciousness, but may know infinite beings, have infinite relations and demonstrate in our time world infinite activities. He illustrated the possibility of this in His own life, for it was His command to through prayer to have the Father God in constantly informed as to His will. And He declared that He did always the will of His Father which was in heaven. In His high priestly prayer, for His Apostles He told the Father that He wanted His Apostles to be one with them, as He was. He thanked Him for choosing them out of the world. He also said, Though they were in world, He wished the Father, God to keep them and in His Name. By this our Lord reveals that though we live in a time reveals our minds can and ought to be divine, making as citizens of the Kingdom of God. The Sunday-school school opened at the usual hour.
