W. S. HOLDER WINS LARGE MONEY AWARD FROM HARLEM CHURCH
Two decisions awarding a total of $1,255 to the Rev. William Stephenson Holder, was handed down by Justice Jacob Marks of the 7th District on September 26 in the suit of Rev. Holder against the Harlem Congregational Church, Inc., and the Grace Congregational Church, in with which the former church was merged a few months ago.
The terms were on two alleged breach contracts by the Harlem Church, just based on the following premises note, which bore date of January 1921.
After date we promise to pay the Rev. William Stephenson Holder, or $1,028, at New York City in our place desired. Value
The Harlem Congregational Church.

After this note was made Rev. Holder on an extended trip to the West Indies and South America, but on 1877 on the above note before him. During his absence the Harlem National Church, was merged with the Rev. A. C. Garner is passed on the latter church agreed to assume the duties of the Harlem Church, Justice Rules that the balance of the note with interest, amounting to $11 must be paid by the office of Grace Church.
The unit was for $300, also charged Rev. Holder by his own negotiation. The plaintiff paid $210 of this amount was due to the debt and a piano and that the severance for salary for December.
In case the defendant set up a claim alleging that Rev. Holder had received this money, but paid an additional $200 Dr. A. Nurse. This claim was investigated, however, and judgment was given the plaintiff. Shelton who represented the church required a stay of judgment.
The claim was represented by Abraam
The member of one of the leading churches in Harlem, a church that is located within what may be termed a "cabaret zone," has called on The Age and made statements with reference to happenings with regard to the operating of a certain cabaret in the neighborhood of his church that, if true, exhibit a visual and visual connection between the church and the officials of the church which is responsible to the church.
The entrance to this caharet, it is alleged, was located in close proximity to the church in question, and this gave rise to the query, repeated in various forms and on many occasions: Why is it the church officials do not take

Real Estate Holdings in the Two Cities Aggregate 1,000,000-Started as Janitor, and Has Built Up Fortune Through Acumen and Attention to Business.
One of New York's leading firms of certified public accountants recently in making an authorized statement bearing on the financial standing of Watt Terry said: "Investigation made by us shows that all his property holdings in New York and Brooklyn are worth at least one million dollars."
News Briefs of General Interest
At the session of the Council of the League of Nations, sitting at Geneva, Switzerland, on September 28, the Abysinian Empire convinced the powers that it is done with slavery forever, and so Ethiopia was admitted formally to membership in the League.
Republican National Committeeman H L. Remmel of Arkansas has brought to the attention of President Coolidge the fact that farmers and business men in the South are so disturbed over the Negro migration movement that they plan a request to Congress for legislation to stop it. Doubting that such legislation would stand the test of the courts, Mr. Remmel suggests that a committee of representative Negroes be appointed by the President for the purpose of educating their people to remain in the South, "the section of the country where they are appreciated and can live long and prosper." The Arkansas Committeeman pointed out that the shift of labor was caused by the bars put up against foreign immigrants. He also claims that the southern white man is the best friend of the Negro, who "is the best laborer to be had in this country," and he admits that migration has crippled the cotton growing industry. Plantation owners in Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and other states cannot get along without the Negro, 200,000 of whom have gone North and West in the past twelve months.
Mrs. Amelia Barge, a colored woman, 85 years old, died recently, leaving no blood relations. She had been employed for the past twenty-five years by Mrs. Susan M. Joost of 11.39 Dean street, Brooklyn, and the filing of a will showed, that she had accumulated an estate of $5,000, which is devised to her step-children.
Tentative tax assessments for 1924 in New York City, disclosed by the assessing officials of the Department of Taxes and Assessments, made public on October 1, 1923, reveal an increase in assessed valuations of reality of more than a billion dollars. The 1924 assessments total $1,275,526,200 as against $10,166,435,578 for 1923. The assessment personal property total $840,629,525. These figures are, of course, subject to reduction under the swearing off privilege granted tax payers.
WATT TERRY, President.
That he has become a wealthy owner of real estate Watt Terry modestly admits, but one would never become in possession of this interesting and inspiring information if it were left to Mr. Terry to voluntarily tell you.
The rise of Watt Terry from poverty to influence reads like a work of fiction, and is indicative of what an enterprising, honest, persistent young man can do even when one's color is sometimes regarded as a handicap. Yet at no time has he complained of being a Negro, but has taken advantage, if anything, of his racial identity.
Realtv in New York and Brockton
In a large measure because of the implicit faith he has in himself, Mr Terry today owns between forty-five and fifty parcels of valuable real estate in New York and Brockton, Mass. Stores and the highest type of apartment houses occupied by white people.

PROBATIONARY COP,

PEACE, WAS SPORS
Jiu Jitsu Trick, Lately
Learned, Brings Obstreperous Prisoner to
Subjugation.
Probationary Policeman Harold Peace,
a young colored man, was sent out from
the police training school a few days
ago, and one of the last lessons he
learned was in the art of jiu jitsu. In
consequence, Frank Myers, 24, an alleged
burglar, is in durance vile.
Peace was on duty near 70th street
and Columbus avenue, when he was
called to 114 West 70th street. Patrol-
ers, Pray and Hunger of West 40th
were told that a man had fled to the
roof. While the other officers searched
the roof, Peace watched the corner.
In the meantime, Meyers had reached the roof and swung himself down from the roof into the window of a bathroom. A woman screamed, for she was taking a bath. The intruder, however, bowled her over and made a rush for the street. Peace, on guard, intercepted him, and when Meyers made to resist the officer, the "Giving probationer put into use his recently gained knowledge of jim jitsu." Meyers was quickly overpowered and put under arrest.
Colored Stokes Witness Sues For Ten Thousand
Charging that she was wrongfully arrested when she arrived in this city, Mrs. Nell Rose Miller, colored, on last Tuesday, sued Bernard Flood, detective assigned to the district attorney's office, for $10,000.
Mrs. Miller says she was arrested without a warrant on receipt of a telegram by District Attorney Banton from Assistant State's Attorney Wharton, of Illinois, asking that she be questioned concerning statements she made in a affidavit in the case of W. E. D. Stokes and Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes.
Mrs. Miller says the arrest was "to intimidate and terrorize her from appearing as a witness for Stokes in his divorce suit against his wife."
Physician Is Alleged To Have Cast Doubt On Paternity Of Child Born to Mrs.S.Tandy

Many Prominent Harlem Men and Women Have Been Brought Into The Case to Substantiate Alleged Slander—Dr. Vincent Styles Suit as "Ridiculous"
Day by day it is becoming more and more evident that the Negro population of Harlem is thinking in larger and larger money terms.
A $50,000 law suit brought by Mrs. Sadie Tandy, 219 West 139th street, against Dr. Ubert Conrad Vincent, 215 West 138th street, based on alleged slanderous remarks purported to have been made by Dr. Vincent involving the paternity of Mrs. Tandy's infant son, has
Chelsea Exchange Bank Enjoys Practical Monoply of Banking Situation in Harlem's Mid-Section, in Which Is Located Bulk of Big Negro Population.
RACE CLIENTELE MAKES UP 35 PER CENT. OF DEPOSITORS IN COMMERCIAL DEPT. AND 30 PER CENT OF LOANS MADE TO RACE
Attitude of White Bank Employes Toward Race Customers Sometimes the Cause of Criticism, Based on Charges of Discourtesy—Are Not Always Well-Founded.
An institution in Harlem which receives in about equal measure both commendation and criticism is the branch of the Chelsea Exchange Bank, located at 135th street and Seventh avenue, with Charles G. Rapp as vice-president and manager. This banking institution opened for business May 1, 1912, since which time it has become one of the important factors in Harlem's commercial de-
The parent bank is situated at 260 West 54th street, and another branch is operated at 1600 Broadway, both closely contiguous to New York's great theatrical district. But neither the main bank nor the down town branch have nearly a monopoly of the financial business of a congested section as has the Harlem branch. The nearest financial institution is at least three blocks away, at 125th street, and so the Chelsea has the opportunity to control almost entirely the banking clientele of a community in which one race group alone numbers approximately 170,000 people. Many criticisms of the manner in which customers are treated by the employees at the Harlem branch of the Chelsea Exchange Bank have been made. Some of these criticisms have not been well-founded, as they were based on a failure of individuals to secure accommodations which would have been violations of ordinary banking procedure, the granting of which would have put the bank people in conflict with the state banking laws.
Criticisms of Employees.
In many cases, however, it has been charged that some of the bank agacies were lacking in courtesy, or patience in handling the clients, and this complaint may have had some basis of substitution in individual cases. As a matter of fact, when the human equation is to be taken into consideration, there are bound to be instances of friction and misunderstanding when individuals of antagonistic disposition come into contact with each other.
Mr. Kang in speaking of this degree.
W. Brandon Killed Early Monday in Apartment House at 7th Avenue and 143rd Street.
A fall down the elevator shaft in the apartment house at 349 Seventh avenue, corner 143rd street, proved fatal to W. Brandon early Monday morning, October 1. Not one in the apartment witnessed the accident, but the superintendent, John Mead, heard a noise of something falling in the elevator shaft. He rushed to the first floor and noticing the elevator in motion returned to his work in the basement, thinking the operator was on the car. When the car arrived at the first floor it was unoccupied. A search was started for the operator and his body was found in the bottom of the elevator pit. Dr. Turker of Harlem Hospital was summoned bit found the man dead on arrival. Brandon had been on the job as elevator operator for only two days, succeeding his brother, John Brandon, who had been operator for some time. It is thought that he attempted to catch the elevator while it was in motion and fell down the pit. The boldly was brought to the 41st Public Station and later turned over to relatives for bishth. Brandon was a native of the British West Indies and was 25 years old.
created a mild sensation in Harlem, and
gossipers are working over time.
The papers served disclose that the action is one for slander based on alleged slanderism's remarks purported to have been made by Dr. Vincent of and concerning Mrs. Sadie Tandy involving the paternity of Mrs. Tandy's infant, it being alleged in the complaint that Dr. Vincent has repeated certain utterances to the effect that a man other than Mr. Tandy is the father of the infant son of Mrs. Tandy.
Principals Well Known
The parties involved in this legal altercation are both well known and so totally prominent. Dr. Vincent being one of our foremost physicians, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, and having had the distinction of being one of the first colored men to break into the white hospitals of New York. Dr. Vincent served at Bellevue Hospital in this city as an interne; and thereafter was one of the resident surgeons there. Mrs. Sadie Tandy is the wife of Verner W. Tandy, who is a well-known architect, and formerly a major in the 15th New York Regiment. Both parties are favorably known in other sections of the country.
What interests particularly in this legal battle is the amount involved. A few weeks ago in the 1900s, a woman in second for Jack Dempsey, to earn $50,000 by knocking Firpo cold and silly. The gentleman named Mr. Firpo is alleged to have earned upwards of $175,000 in the same altercation. It is alleged that this was real, money. The reporter is not sufficiently informed of legal encounters to speculate as to the length of time it will take to determine who will be entitled to $50,000 in this case, if anyone is, and reference is made to the Dempsey Firpo but merely by way of indicating that the colored race is keeping pace with the white race so far as juggling with large figures is concerned.
Both Parties Gave Bonds
Up to the present time the only real money appearing in the suit is that indicated by the respective surety and bail bonds put up by the parties. In her preliminary step, Mrs. Tundy's attorney applied for a body attachment against Dr. Vincent. In order to do this, she was forced to accompany her papers with a surety company's bond for $250.
In order to relieve himself from the indignity of being bodily attached, Dr. Vincent was merely called upon to divest himself of a $100 bill and place the said $100 bill in the custody of the deputy official who served the papers, so that up to the present time, as we say, the suit has not ventured into the "thousands," but still remains around the "hundreds," both parties having drawn a little, so to speak "money blood"—at least if deposits by bond and cash in court can be considered.
Results of Round No. 1 may be summarized thusly: Mrs. Tandy, plaintiff, puts up a surety company's bond for $50; Dr. Vincent, defendant, temporarily deposits a $100 bill.
As to the decision—well, it is anybody's guess on the figures as to whether the parties have broken even or not.
The claims of the parties to this suit are, of course, diametrically opposed. Mrs. Landy claims that she instituted this suit to vindicate the honor of herself, her husband and son, by reason of the Sanderle remarks purported to have been made by Dr. Vincent. Dr. Vincent claims that the suit is the most ridiculous thing he ever heard of for the simple reason that he is entirely innocent of the charge. So there we have the adverse contentions in... that shell.
Other. Persons Involved.
We learn from the papers served that other names and persons are mentions and as to them, we cannot help but that this difference arising between Tandy and Dr. Vincent which into question the particular one invoked is most unfortunate. We extend regrets to all the parties involved. If to the community there is any solicitation to be gleaned, it is perhaps that the parties are staging a little drama with an all-star cast. Dr. Vincent is represented by Counsel Edmund O. Austin; Mrs. Tandy by Counsel Henry Rucker.
Some day perhaps, we may reach the desired heights of settling these matters, before colored judges and colored juries. God speed that day, because then, at least, the other races could not snicker, at us for the stifles and contentions that are erected to dismine the race and those who have been able to achieve® modicum of accomplishment.
Posed as Cuban, But Alleged to Be Negro, He Was Aspirant to Abyssinia Throne.
Wm. Henry Ellis, a colo man, born in Texas 59 years ago, whose wife and son live in Mt. Vernon, N. died on September 24, in Mexico City, after a career of adventure and financial success that brought him world-wide fame.
He was at various times a cowboy, ranchman, banker, broker, promoter, and finally diplomatic envoy to King Menelik of Abyssinia, as the bearer of a treaty of amity and commerce from the State Department at Washington. Ellis possessed financial genius of a high order and made several fortunes, spending them in an effort to secure control of Abyssinia, hoping, as he told his friends, to be King of that country, and make it a nation of Negroes equal to European powers.
In 1904, Ellis, in company with a F. B. Loomis, Assistant Secretary of State in the Roosevelt Administration, was sent to bear the treaty to King Menelik. Loomis (ell from the ship and was drowned in the middle of the Atlantic and Ellis went on alone and completed the duty. Costly presents were given the King by Ellis, and he in turn was made Duke of Hararr and Hawash, with a territory of 1,600,000 acres of fertile territory.
He was mixing in Mexican affairs as early as 1890 and finally gave all his attention to that country. However, in 1902, he engineered a transaction in New York City as president of the New York and Westchester Water Co., which brought him an estimated profit of $500,000 when he sold out to the city. He was a well-known figure in Wall street. He posed as a Cuban, transforming his name into "GuiKermo Enrique Ellisco."
He married Ida Maud Lefferts Sherwood, who survives him, with four children, Guilermo Enrique, jr., Carlos Sherwood, Portorio Diaz and Sherwood. The family home is at 540 East Third street. Mt. Vernon, and the body was brought from Mexico by the oldest boy and buried in Woodlawn Cemetery. Ellis lived at the Hotel Gillow in Mexico City and was a member of the American Geographical Society, Mexican Society of New York, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Camouflaged Liquor Places In Harlem Menace Community And Imperil Church Health

steps to- abate so conspicuous a nuisance?
Answer to the Question
What appears now to be an answer to this question is found, it is alleged, in recent developments. The membership of the church, it is reported, first curious, finally became indignant that women and children of the congregation should be subjected from time to time to such contact with disgraceful and debasing conditions as was inventable from the situation of the cabaret with its influx and outpouring of undesirabs in such immediate contiguity to the home of the religious group. Agitation was started which grew to such proportions as threatened the prosperity of the cabaret, and this in turn meant that in trying to protect property interest the resort owners would disclose relations of a financial nature which had been entered into with certain church officials, said relations being intended to prevent just such action on part of the church folks as seemed impending.
There was a hasty getting-together, it is alleged, and the outcome was a compromise, by which the cabaret people secured an entrance to their place from Seventh avenue, thus removing the aggregation of hangers-on, made up of the riff-raff if both white and colored sports, from direct contact with the more desirable residential and church neighborhood to be found on the side street. The statement made to The Age further alleges that it is believed that the church people, in order to make sure of inaction on part of the church people, made liberal contributions to certain influential individuals, these contributions being pocketed by the men and not applied toward payment of church indebtedness.
Critic Resumes Customer
A tale is told of the opening of the saloon at northwest corner of 16th street and Seventh avenue. While the store was being remodelled, its intended use being apparent, a certain citizen of the immediate community expressed indignation at the bootlegging encroachment and loudly proclaimed his intention to prevent opening of the saloon, declaring that he would secure signatures to a petition against such opening. However, the saloon opened its doors, and to the surprise of the folks who heard and listened to this man's loud tions of objection to the place, it indicated that he was seen early in morning of the opening day stand-
Compaints are increasing concerning the presence of drunken men and women on Seventh avenue. Particular reference is made to the neighborhood of 131st street, and the charge applies to the saloons and to Comnie's Inn in about equal measure. It is alleged that residents in the immediate vicinity of the saloons, of the saloon, and of the drug stores, all operated in the Lafayette Thirty-four building, as well as of the saloons, below 131st street on the same side of Seventh, are distorted at unorthodox hours, of the night by drunners and hilarious men and women who come from these various places and who evidently secured their alcoholic stimulation while in these resorts.
DUPLEX APARTMENT for 8 Families. Corner 128th Street and 7th Avenue.
THE
MISSING
MEN
OF
THE
WORLD
Residents along Seventh avenue declare that the thoroughfare is losing its desirability as a residential street, and that its peace is memoned. Complaints are being made to the police that more hooch joints are being opened and the holdness of certain of the bootlegers, particularly Hyman and Loui, gives rise to the belief that graft is playing a big part in the liquor situation. That a regular payroll, on which certain officials are placed a ta fat figure, is provided for by a stipulated sum payable at certain intervals by each of the places operating on Lenox and Seventh avenues, is one of the rumors most frequently heard.
Additional complaints are that drunks from saloons around 131st street are unceremoniously dumped into the hallways of apartment houses and that residents of these buildings have to this time been unable to secure any remedial action. The drunken hilarity continues until 4 or 5 o'clock every morning, it is alleged.
There is being industriously circulated around Harlem statements to the effect that disturbances are of frequent occurrence in Comie's Inn, the resort recently opened in the Lafayette Theatre building, notwithstanding that citizens and police officials joined in a strong protest against its being given a license. It is alleged that personal altercations have happened on several occasions, and it is said that one of the leading performers in the group of entertainers has been nursing a badly cut finger which was injured in a mysterious manner. His version is that it was hurt when he attempted to act as peacemaker, but others allege that the performer's wife became incensed at attentions her husband said to one of the patrons.
Sunman on Warpath
On one occasion, it is alleged, a gunman, a patron of the place, became angered at some affront, either real or fancied, and threatened to shoot up the place, but was dissuaded by one of the musicians, who happened to have had some acquaintance with the bad man. It is pointed out by citizens who have had the experience, that if the Federal prohibition authorities would send three or more honest, capable agents into Harlem, the men could walk up Lenox avenue any Saturday evening after 9 o'clock and secure all the evidence necessary to violations of the Volstead Law. The delicatessens, cigar store and other places which are only camouflaged hooth-selling joints are packed with customers, and the doors be wide open they can be seen by all possibly engaged in imbibing liquor. No effort is made to suppress sales or to disguise the nature of the traffic.
Harlem Bank Receives From Negro Depositors 85 P. C. Of Special Savings Accounts
(Continued from Trot Page)
cated the occurrences, but said they were not characteristic and did not represent the attitude of the bank toward its customers. The fact that the entire personnel of the bank's employees is white, except the special officer, Elmer Bush, and a night watchman, who are colored, might cause a certain sensitivity to arise and to increase the possibility of a misunderstanding on the part of a colored clientele. But, said Mr. Rapp, there has been constant effort to overcome this feeling and to create in its stead a feeling of mutual forbearance and confidence.
With reference to the fact that the clerical and bookkeeping force is entirely white, Mr. Rapp declared that he has long had a desire to secure some competent and efficient colored clerks and bookkeepers, feeling that any institution, located in a community where one race group largely predominates, ought give that group representation among the institution's employees. But, he continued, the several colored applicants who have been available did not measure up to the required standard.
Experience Needed
In most cases when there were vacancies, said the manager, it was necessary to secure immediately employees who were experienced in bank methods, either as tellers or as bookkeepers, and colored man or woman of experience were not available. There, are, said he, one or two colored bank clerks in some of the financial institutions down town, but there are not a sufficient number to create a visible supply.
It is being planned, however, said Mr. Rapp, to engage the services of a young colored man as solicitor, to begin work right away, and the individual already intuitively selected is a clean-cut, intelligent young fellow who promises to mature up satisfactorily to the required duties. And it is intended to give him every opportunity to develop and become thoroughly familiar with the banking business in all its branches. Incident:

ally, this young man is personally known to the president of the Chelsea Exchange Bank. A young colored woman has been employed temporarily as stenographer, and her work gave absolute satisfaction. She served through two periods, one of three weeks, another of two weeks, and it is alleged that she was given the promise of a permanent situation when the opportunity came. Mr. Rapp speaks in highest terms of her efficiency but states that no opportunity has as yet arisen to place her permanently, as there has been no change in his stenographic service.
On the other hand, however, friends of the young woman declare that an opportunity to place her permanently was not taken advantage of by the bank officials, and express doubt that she will be placed on the staff of employee, Mr. Rapp says this implication is unfair and not based on facts. That his present stenographer has been with him nine years and there, has been no change during that time, reiterating his former statement as to the satisfactory character of the young colored woman's work and declaring his sincerity of purpose with regard to giving the race representation on the banking staff. He thinks that capable and efficient colored applicants will be available and states that they will certainly be given employment at the earliest opportunity.
The Making of Loans.
With regard to a charge that the bank discriminates in the making of loans to its customers, Mr. Rapp explained with considerable detail that there is no substance to the allegation. "When a man comes to the bank," said he, "and gives in a satisfactory statement, if that man carries a good average balance, has a generally good reputation in the community, and is believed to be a good moral risk, the loan is made possible and he gets it on his own name, without collateral. And it is an interesting fact that the larger proportion of these unsecured loans are made to colored customers of the bank."
Asked for concrete figures as to the bank's clientele, Mr. Rapp looked over his books and found that in the commercial or checking department the colored clients, constituted about 35 per cent. of the total number of depositors. To open one of these accounts requires at least $200 as initial deposit, and the daily balance ought to be at least an equal amount, on the average. The loan record showed that colored borrowers formed 30 per cent. of the bank's customers.
The bank operates a Special Interest or Savings Department, in which the accounts are not subject to checking, withdrawals being made by use of the bank book and a withdrawal slip, on which 3½ per cent. interest is paid, and it is an interesting disclosure that this department is almost monopolized by colored Harlemites. The colored depositors total 85 to 90 per cent. of the bank's clientele in this department.
For some time the bank has been keeping open until 8 o'clock each evening, but beginning October 15, a change will be inaugurated. The banking hours, after that date, will be 9 o'clock on Friday and 9 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturday; Monday evenings, 8 to 10 o'clock, and Saturday evenings, 8 to 10.30.

Biggest Realtor in Country.
At the session of the National Negro Business League held in Norfolk, Va., Mr. Terry was introduced as the largest individual Negro real estate owner in the country. He has no partners and all his business is carried on solely by him.
Watt Terry was born in Mecklenberg County, Virginia. When quite a lad he went to Brockton, where he now resides in one of the show places of the town. Starting as a janitor in the Y. M. C. A., he next secured employment in a shoe shop. Showing a natural inclination for dabbling in real estate he decided to become an operator after selling one or two houses as an experiment. After putting out his si his first sale was a cottage, the next an apartment house.
For seven years Mr. Terry has been dealing in New York real estate on a large scale, and has built up a very satisfactory business. He is an enthusiast as to Harlem's future and does not think any other field offers so excellent an opportunity in that section. "The thing we are greatly in need of in Harlem is more honest leaders to take advantage of business opportunities," he says.
Throughout his business career Mr. Terry credits Mrs. Terry with being his guiding star. He is a member of a small Baptist church in Brockton, superintendent of the Sunday-school and a prominent member of the National Negro Business League. Mr. Terry has been actively interested in charitable thousands of dollars to race churches, schools, and hospitals.

The reason why so many of our colored men have Jerry, the Armenian Barber, across the street, opposite our own colored barber to do their work is that the white man gets 50 cents and the colored man gets 35 cents. The colored man does the best work, but it is funny about Massachusetts people: they prefer to give the white man their money instead of building enterprises of their own.

NORTHERN EMPLOYERS AND MIGRATION.
Detroit is one of the large cities of the West where the results of Negro migration from the South are most plainly apparent. To this industrial center of the automobile industries the black workers have come by the hundreds and thousands and they have been absorbed into the economic system of the busy metropolis by the Lake. A survey of the situation created by this addition to the population of Detroit was inaugurated for publication in the "Detroiter," the official publication of the Detroit Board of Commerce.
While the findings of this survey and its recommendations have not yet reached us, we find an illuminating article in the same publication, indicative of the spirit in which the hardheaded business element of Detroit included to regard the Negroes of the South and their reasons for coming North. It cites the fact that white planters and manufacturers down there are becoming alarmed because of the exodus of laborers and are writing letters to the mayors of Northern cities and to the secretaries of Northern chambers of commerce, insisting that the demand for Southern labor be stopped. We quote:

Claims are made that the poor Negroes are being lured northward by false promises of good positions, reasonable hours, and big money
A study of the situation seems to prove that this is quite wrong. The Negro is not being hired. He is being shoved. Certainly the planters and manufacturers will look to the North when they lose their laborers. The Negro has no other place to go and he has made up his mind to quit the South. What does the Negro want? He wants exactly what you or any other human being wants. He wants food, comfort, safety, tolerance, education—and as much money as his ability entitles him to.
is quite wrong. The Negro is not being bored. He is being throughed. Certainly the planters and manufacturers will look to the North when they lose their laborers. The Negro has no other place to go and he has made up his mind to quit the South. What does the Negro want? He wants exactly what you or any other human being wants. He wants food, comfort, safety, tolerance, education—and so much money as his ability entitles him to.
That what he gets in the South too often is the reverse of these conditions is being understood by the white Northerner, as well as by the Negroes themselves, through the revelations brought about by the continued migration movement. It is well that these Detroit business men, as well as the employers of labor in other Northern cities, should thoroughly comprehend the causes that are bringing to their factory doors a supply of teachable and dependable labor. With a knowledge of the conditions that inspired this migration and the aspirations toward which it is striving, they should be able to deal with it in a manner at once sympathetic and understanding. Such a policy pursued with justice and firmness, should result advantageously to both parties.
It is also open to the Southern planters and manufacturers to adopt a similar policy of fair dealing and thus reduce the ravages of migration in their labor forces. That such a policy is possible and profitable has been shown in such Southern industrial points as Durham, N. C., where the migration movement passed by with few or no accessions. As the Detroit article concludes, "The Southern employer needs to be educated to a point where he will realize, that he must honestly compete with the Northern employer, if he wants to keep his labor."

FOR HONEST ENFORCEMENT
Despite the repeal of the Mullen-Gage act, which removed the double jeopardy of the law incited by violators of the Prohibition amendment, there are signs of a renewed disposition among New York officials to enforce the Volstead act, so far as it is enforceable. Honest enforcement of the provisions forbidding the sale of alcoholic drinks is sorely needed, especially in the Harlem district. Here the violations have been so open and impudent, as to suggest the exertion of such powerful influence behind certain of these booleg magnates as to paralyze the arm of the enforcement officer, whether he represented the State
Despite the repeal of the Mullen-Gage act, which removed the double jeopardy of the law incurred by violators of the Prohibition amendment, there are signs of a renewed disposition among New York officials to enforce the Volstead act, so far as it is enforceable. Honest enforcement of the provisions forbidding the sale of alcoholic drinks is sorely needed, especially in the Harlem district. Here the violations have been so open and impudent, as to suggest the exertion of such powerful influence behind certain of these bogus magnates as to paralyze the arm of the enforcement officer, whether he represented the State or Federal authority.
Indications of improving conditions are visible through the activities of the police spurred on by Commissioner Enright and Inspector McDonald. Under the immediate direction of Captain Mulrooney of the 38th precinct, the officers on duty are showing greater vigilance, in repressing open violations of the law. While the difficulties
of securing legal evidence of the sale of liquor remain as great as ever for the officer in uniform, there are other ways in which the illicit traffic may be kept within limits by honest and inflexible enforcement. The Federal Prohibition Director, Palmer Canfield, has also manifested his intention of developing some of the attention of devoting some of the attention of his force of enforcement agents to the Harlem situation. While the difficulties of enforcement of so drastic a measure as the Volstead act have not diminished, vigilance and determination on the part of the enforcement authorities can lessen the flood of poisonous "hootch" that is demoralizing the Harlem districts. While a certain knowledge of the methods and personnel of the Bootlegging bandits is necessary to curb their activities, too great an intimacy between them and the enforcement officers is apt to breed a familiarity that results in contempt for the law and its representatives. What is needed to stop the open violation of the law against liquor selling is honest enforcement officers in the field, backed up by honest enforcement at headquarters. The backers of the bootleggers should be barred from using either bribery or political influence to defeat the law.
COOLIDGE ON THE CONSTITUTION. One day last month marked the 136th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States. Few of the hundred millions or more of people living under the protection of that charter of human rights took heed of the occasion, outside of the schools and the few patriotic societies that observed the day by meetings. President Coolidge indorsed the observance of the anniversary in a letter to the secretary of the National Security League, in which he said:
The constitution of the United States is the natural regime of every right that is accepted by any American citizen. So long as it is observed, these rights will be secure. Whenever it falls into disregard or compromise, the end of objects, organized government as we have known it for more than 150 years will be at hand. The Constitution represents a government or law. There is only one other form of authority, and that is government of lords. Americans must make their only choice between these two. One signifies justice and liberty, the other tranmy and oppression. To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political privilege that was ever accorded to the human race.
If the President's utterances are to be taken at their face value, the peril of the republic is imminent, as the Constitution has certainly fallen into disrepute, so far as the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments are concerned, and the Eighteenth amendment seems to be heading in the same direction. It is true that the constitution represents a government by law and that when any part of that law is flouted or defied the whole fabric or organized government is thereby imperiled. The party which elected Mr. Coolidge as Vice President has meekly and supinely acquiesced in the nullification of the constitutional amendments which it fathered, because the white South raised a cry against the "Force bill" and "Negro domination."
Mr. Coolidge is also correct in drawing a distinction between the government by law, resting on the constitution, and the government by force, such as that established by the Ku Klux Klan in several of the states of the Union. But the tyranny and oppression set up by the Klan is permitted by the Federal authority to wax stronger and more insolent, unless challenged by some courageous state executive like Governor Walton of Oklahoma.
To live under the American Constitution may be the greatest political privilege ever accorded to the human race, as the President declares, but it would be infinitely greater if the Constitution, including the amendments, were enforced in all sections of the country. Not until that is done can the full measure of justice and liberty written into that instrument be said to prevail.
THE POWER OF PRINTING
A new departure in the periodical field is furnished in an advance copy of "Opinion—Black and White," for September, a monthly publication issued by the Opinion Publishing Company at Boston, Mass. In its makeup, letter press and illustrations, this magazine is on the style of the "Literary Digest." Its title page is of original design, however, embodying reproductions of the title headings of the various publications of both races, whose opinions are quoted.
The topics selected for consideration are discreetly chosen and grouped as a rule under appropriate department heads, such as "The White Press and the Negro," "Social Service and Religion," "Education, Literature and Culture," and so forth. "The Tuskegee Wrangle and Compromise" over the Veterans' Hospital is placed under the heading of "Science and Invention," in the table of contents, but the make-up, man amended this and put it under "Personal Glances" instead.
One of the most striking and pertinent departments is headed "For Better Business," the leading article under that head being styled somewhat pessimistically "Our Failure in the Field of Printing and Publishing." This article is written in the first person and in the absence of any credit, which is conscientiously given in case of quotations, we assume it to be original with
THE NEW YORK AGE
the editor of "Opinion." The writer takes the ground that the Negro is not keeping pace with the changes of the twentieth century in the publication field. Ignoring the progress visible to any one familiar with the Negro press of twenty or thirty years ago, he says "the mass is composed of little papers published in towns or cities with five to twenty thousand Negroes. With few exceptions the circulation ranges from three hundred to a thousand weekly," etc.
The statement that the 470 publications in the United States, which are wholly or partly devoted to topics concerning the Negro, have done comparatively little in reaching the American public may be better founded, but it ignores the fact that all of these publications reach in one way or the other a certain number of readers of the other race. The structure that "we have too many publications without a purpose" is also too severe to be wholly just. Most every paper published by Negroes has the purpose of service to race as its foundation stone, however poorly that service may be rendered or how clumsily that purpose may be expressed.
When this writer says that "Negro printers and publishers are not working in harmony with economic principles" and that "it is solely for the gain of the white printer," he puts his finger on the weakest point in the Negro publication field: We quote him as follows:
The gist of his argument is that there is too much wasted effort among our publications and that the remedy is the extension to our group of those cooperative principles which have been in vogue for a number of years among other groups. This remedy is no new one, but the adoption of it has been prevented by the lack of confidence and the existence of petty palouises. Even when one of the group of publications had the facilities to do the printing of others of that group, such cooperative action was prevented by the fear that the circulation of one paper would be known to the publisher of another.
During its existence The Age has frequently performed typesetting and presswork for outside publications, including a Spanish masonic journal, a Japanese weekly for which it also edited the English portion, several white weeklies of an advertising nature and monthly and church publications. In no case was a business confidence ever violated. When our editors and publishers more generally recognize the ethics of business dealings and realize the necessity for confidence in the square dealing of one another, this factor of economic waste may be eliminated and the press made better and stronger. We should endeavor to practice the confidence that we preach.
The many friends of Judge Rebert H. Terrell, of Washington, D.C., all over the country, will be glad to hear that his physical condition is much improved. Judge Terrell was stricken several months ago with what was thought to be paralysis, which affected his speech and rendered him unable to walk unaided. His service as a civil magistrate on the municipal court bench dates back to 1901, he having been appointed at the expiration of each succeeding term. He is a notable example of the best type of the scholar in politics, that the race has produced.

Support us we take the case of New York City with its 23 publications with a monthly circulation of 20,000. Only one of these publications is printed with Negro equipment. No doubt many of our printers and publishers have thought long over the engine, and for the most part have come to the conclusion that much competition has caused the present waste of energy. This present day competition is just the condition necessary to place our publishers on solid ground, if we can only lay aside that personal feeling and instead create a sort of brotherhood among the members of the craft.

COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS
The many friends of Judge Robert H. Terrell, of Washington, D.C., all over the country, will be glad to hear that his physical condition is much improved. Judge Terrell was stricken several months ago with what was thought to be paralysis, which affected his speech and rendered him unable to walk unaided. His service as a civil magistrate on the municipal court bench dates back to 1901, he having been appointed at the expiration of each succeeding term. He is a notable example of the best type of the scholar in politics, that the race has produced.
A professor of the teaching of spiritualism, who according to his own account has expounded his doctrine in all sections of the country, referred to his calling as involving the study of "physical research." Most of the believers and investigators of this cult prefer to style it "psychical research." However the professor in question may have employed the correct term, although it might not command the approval of Sir Arthur Conn Doyle.
The danger of operating stills for the manufacture of liquors, commonly known as "booze," "boootch," or "mimoseine," in private houses has been demonstrated by the frequent outbreaks of mysterious fires, accompanied by explosions. This is another of the by-products of drastic legislation for the enforcement of prohibition, that does not prohibit. It furnishes another reason why the Volstead act should be modified in favor of a workable law, that would permit the use of beverages of a reasonable alcoholic strength, that would still be non-intoxicating.
The appointment of Channing H. Tobias at the meeting of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A., as senior secretary of the Department for Colored Men, to succeed Dr. J. E. Moorland, to be commended on the ground of special fitness and capacity. Mr. Tobias has shown in his work that he is broad-minded and liberal, as well as competent in dealing with the problems that have confronted him. It is to be hoped that his influence may be exerted to straighten out the serious situation that exists in Harlem, in the retention of an executive whose usefulness has ended.
The St. Luke Herald of Richmond recently took occasion to combat the opinion, which it attributed to a certain part of the Negro press, "that Northern Negroes have no right to pass their opinions upon the race issues of the South." This contention (or the rights of free speech was fair enough, but the writer in his indignation indulged in such intemperate expressions, as to weaken the force of his argument. Such
expressions as "the unspakeable lik of this Negro baboonishness" and "we hope that the last black fool is dead" do not aid to the cause of intelligent discussion of a matter of opinion.
Editor Benjamin Franklin Davis of the Atlanta Independent, like the cuttlefish, enveloped himself in a cloud of ink in a recent issue, in a labored defence against the charge of misrepresentation of Dr. Moton in the matter of the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee. If Editor Davis had the faintest conception of and respect for rudimentary journalistic ethics, he would not need to fill too columns with such a disingenuous defence involving extraneous matters.
Since Marcus Garvey has been released, on bail, he seems to have experienced a change of heart, as he is now quoted as advising his followers in this strain:
"The U. N. I. A. is about to enter politics. I want every one of you to register, and those who are not citizens must be naturalized. If DuBois and James Weldon Johnson, with only two hundred thousand followers, can send one Negro to jail, the U. N. I. A. with two million voters, will be able to send that many more. When we are all voting we can demand that the Government send us back to Africa."
The advice to West Indians and others of foreign birth, who settle in this country permanently, to become citizens and voters, has been advocated through the columns of THE ACE for several years. But Mr. Garvey's idea that the Government will then expatriate these voters and citizens is another example of the working of his inferiority complex, assisted by lefthanded logic.
In an editorial entitled "What Really Ought to Interest Negroes," the Pittsburgh American said:
We should encourage initiative and creative endeavor. We should emphasize educating the instinct of freedom. We should encourage the ambition of self-government. We should everlastingly strive by every manner of means to impress upon our people the need of encouraging racial unity and solidarity by becoming, sufficiently friendly one with another that they can differ honestly and not make differences of opinion the ground for personal quarrels or occasions for thinking, planning and doing evil to each other. We should not mix vitriol with the fire of our enemies without being prepared to quench the flame in the way it should be done. We spend millions building churches—a landable thing. But we ought to put more millions into business and industry in order to provide opportunities for our increasing army of educated young people and those with the ability and ambition to find prosperity and happiness as skilled workers. We ought to do more for ourselves; take care of ourselves; think for ourselves; and have a greater ambition to share in our government or govern ourselves entirely.
This is the right kind of doctrine to preach. With such persistent and forceful advocates as our Pittsburgh contemporary and others of the Negro press, its spread cannot be stayed. A constructive program of racial upbuilding is the need of the times.
The following extract from a news article in the Oklahoma Black Dispatch throws new light on the character of Governor J. C. Walton who is fighting the Ku Klua Klan in Oklahoma. It reads:
Premium Reid, a Madill Negro, was saved from a life term in the state penitentiary when Governor Walton put the case to his hearers and asked them to decide the Negro's fate.
"I was approached a little while ago in my room at the hotel and told that a Negro by the name of Premium Reid was sentenced to 99 years for killing a Negro who stole his wife and destroyed his home," said the governor. "If anyone should know if this is right, it is you. I am going to take a vote on it right here. All those who want Premium Reid's sentence commited to two years imprisonment, hold up your hands." Hands were raised in the crowd and when a negative vote was called for only one man, one of the jurors that sat in the Reid case, hated his hand. "I hereby commute the sentence of 99 years given Premium Reid to two years," the governor announced.
Although Governor Walton is a Democrat, he received considerable support from the Negroes of Oklahoma, when running for his present office. His courage is shown by his resent to martial law in his endeavor to put down mob violence at Tulsa and other parts of the State. His exercise of clemency in the case cited above was undoubtedly an exercise of discretionary power warranted by the circumstances.

In a letter to the African-American Presbyterian, the Rev. A. U. Frierson, ministerial commissioner from the Fairfield Presbytery, defended the course of the thirty-two delegates of the race in the late General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church against the charge of giving comfort and aid to "liberals." He said:
The colored commissioners made it clear on the election of moderator, that they intended to exercise their right to vote as individuals, and positively resented the idea of being herded. And be it said in their credit, they kept this up throughout the sittings of the Assembly, despite the fact, that they are charged with voting with amazing "unanimity" on the Fondick case, for "liberalism." If any man went to the Assembly assuming that he carried the votes of the colored commissioners in his vest pocket, to be delivered at the psychological moment, he soon found that he reckoned without his hooks, and that a rude shock parished him.
This would seem to indicate that the action of the commissioners concerned was dictated by individual judgment and conscientious motives. Their course should be commended rather than crucified.
The benefits of a Community Chest in supporting welfare institutions was convincingly set forth by the Northwestern Bulletin of St. Paul in the following appeal:
The successful maintenance of the local Urban League will depend largely upon the moral effect we create in supporting the Community Chest Drive. The race, in St. Paul, must give us full quota toward the coming project if we expect to secure for ourselves the benefits derived therefrom. We have asked for the support of the Community Chest. We have shown our desire for a branch of the National Urban League in our city. Our desire has been accomplished so far as the securing of the league is concerned, but our work does not end here. The new organization must be financed. This will be done by the Community Chest fund. The Community Chest committee expect to receive their aid from the citizens of St. Paul. As citizens we should give freely to this fund in order that the best interests may be served. The race has received representation on the executive committee and we are expected to function in the same capacity as other citizens.
The benefits of the Community Chest plan in raising funds for welfare purposes are manifold. It reduces the overhead expense of solicitors and canvassers for each individual charity and eliminates the waste incident to unauthorized solicitation for undeserving objects. The Community Chest plan protects the public and the worthy charity.
THE KU KLUX SPIRIT General Unitarian Conference Condemns Race Hatred and Religious Intolerance.
New Haven, Conn.-The General Unitarian Conference of the United States and Canada, holding its sessions at Yale University, closed its 300th annual Conference, with re-election of Chief Justice William Howard Taft as its president, and with the passage of a ringing resolution in condemnation of mob violence against human being of whatever race, creed or color.
While the "resolution makes no specific mention of the Ku Klux Klan it was clear to all that the conference had this organization in mind when discussing and adopting the resolution. The delegates who spoke on the resolution were emphatic in their assertions that the Unitarian fellowship in the light of its broad humanitarianism must "put on record its unqualified, condemnation," of the evils of intolerance and race hatreds under whatever form or disguise they seek to parade themselves. They also pointed out that upon the harmonious adjustment of race relations between diverse races, creeds and nationalities, rest the permanence of our democratic institutions and the peace of the world. The resolution was adopted without dissent and reads as follows:
WHEREAS, The harmonious adjustment of relations between the people of diverse races, creeds and nationalities living in this country is essential for the permanence of our democratic institutions and the preservation of peace in the world.
BE IT RESOLVED. That this conference puts on record its unqualified condemnation of that evil spirit of intolerance, bigotry and hate which manifests itself in acts of violence and persecution designed to intimidate or to deprive of their legal rights any of our fellow human being, of whatever race, color or creed. We commend to our churches participation in those inter-racial committees which are seeking that better mutual understanding which is the only way out of the clash of diverse races and conflicting interests.
Supreme Chancellor Green Given a Formal Welcome By New Orleans People
New Orleans, L.A.—Knights of Pythias and their friends in this city filled the Pythian auditorium Thursday night, September 20, in a city-wide homecoming reception in honor of S. W. Green, supreme chancellor, Knights of Pythias, N. A. S. A. E., A. A. & A. The program gave opportunity to a number of our local leaders to speak for those they represented in expressing welcome to the distingushed Knight on his formal return home, and to a number of others to sing songs of joy in giving vent to the pleasure felt throughout the city over the eighth trumpet recollection to the supreme office of the Order of a Louisiana Knight who stands first among Knights, and well did every one on the program fill his or her part of the arrangements for a fitting welcome:
Sir James E. Gayle, P. C., Mts. D Spann and Judge Frank B. Smith arranged all the details of the reception. It was just a little past 8 o'clock when the program got under way with a selection by the Pythian orchestra Then Rev. J. W. White, G. P., offered an invocation. The St Mark's Chanters, enjoying local fame as a splendid quartet, rendered one of its popular hits. Next followed the introduction of the master of ceremonies, Sir E. B. Smith, G. A., by Sir J. E. Gayle, P. C. The audience was treated to echoes from the Supreme Lodge session by Dr. B. F. Easter, G. M. R., and this was followed by a solo by Mrs. L. Slidell.
Walter Cohen, leader of the Republic party in Louisiana, and president of the People's Industrial Life Insurance Company, addressed words of welcome to Chancellor Green on behalf of the citizens. The address of Mr. Cohen was highly appreciated by the supreme chancellor, Miss. G. Augusten sang a soo'; Miss S. Rozier spoke in Lehalf of the Calanthians; music by the band and then Dr. Chas. Bowers made a welcome address on behalf of local Pythians. More music an then the supreme chancellor was introduced for a response. The address of the supreme chancellor was a happy one. It told of the pleasure, the kind things said of him had given burs of the world as a fraternal body.

NEW ENGLANDER HAS
NURTURED AND CARED
FOR NEGRO ORPHANS
A visitor to New York week and a caller at The office was Mrs. A. S. Chattanooga, Tenn., assisted by little Loni e Park, a year-old girl.
The native Chattanooga would see in this statement interesting fact, for Mr. Stone is a white woman, a Don Yankee from Chelsea and Boston, Mass., who went Nine years ago to carry clothing and food to stricken of a yellow fever epidemic, and remained to found and care the Steele Home for Needy Children. Little Loni is one of more than 1,000 children of various races who have come under her care and nurture in the past thirty-nine years.
The outstanding feature of the Voted woman's career is found in the fact that she has devoted her life fortune to this work, and that during the Home's existence she has never led for or been given a pension, city, county or state authority on the contrary, has actually spent past ten years, been paying a share for the privilege of caring for children who would, in all probability, have become charges upon the public treasury.
Mrs. Steele's father was wealthy having been the president of a railroad with other large commercial interests and her husband, Walter H. Steele, was also a well-to-do man prospering in a large department store business, inherited both estates, and in addition considerable estate from a material estate. All of this money has been by her in erecting and maintaining the Steele Home for Colleged Children, paying a staff of teachers for their religious training and academic education, for their high school and college training, where it was deemed able, and in establishing other home children and founding eleven schools in the black belt in South Carolina the great Voorhees Institute at Denmark, S. C., being one of the latter. Her work in Chattanooga has not been without its difficulties and backets. She has met with the most intense opposition from a certain element of the native white population, some of whom thought and expressed with considerable force the opinion that Mrs. Steele was disgraceing and dishonoring the Caucasian race by giving of substance to build a home for Negro children and of her personal effort to nurturing them.
That this opposing attitude was visible is shown by the fact that the Siren Home has been destroyed by fire several times, the conflagration in each being started by an incendian. But after each disaster, Mrs Siren gifted her lions and benga again, task rising. Phoenixlike, stronger and more determined for her fiery task. She has never made a direct effort from any outside source has devoted the inheritance from her husband in this most unusual taking. In all of America there is another white woman who has done is doing a similar work.
More than 1,600 boys and girls vast majority of them Negroes with a few Indian, Mexican, Amar and white children mixed in, have into her keeping since the Home founded in 1884. The fact that doors of the Home were not closed any child because of race or caused her to be healed before the nurse counts on various charges charged with a violation of theJunior Law which declare the and Negro children shall not be cated in school or church unfaltering and determined at Knought the though that prison does may close but it does matter that one of the children should find the doors of the Home placed in its entrance.
A notable characteristic of the
has been the excellent health of
at the Home. Mrs Steele has
a single day's illness in all three
and there has never been a
of sickness in the Home, ex-
case of double pneumonia from
the broken child rattled and
Mrs. Steele attributes this
record to the extreme care
with regard to food supplies
preparation, and to the cleanl-
ing the Home, its furnishings and
ments, the enforcing of sanity
tions, and the maintaining
stant high standard of health
both internal and external.
Mrs. Steele spent several city, enroute to New England of her periodical visits to the of her youth and to the homely many old friends.

A Hint: There are three, race undertakers here, since A. Brown opened up on Plainfield avenue, so there is no reason why one of the three should not give satisfaction in case of death among our people. Plainfielders, wake up; we are fast asleep in the matter of supporting our racial business enterprises. It is hard to think that when a member of the race pays dear for his or her business education, they cannot get a job or the support of their own people when they do get into business. We are not good enough to sit in the theatre or other places with the other fellow, yet when one of us dies the other yellow grabs the body and our short sightedness causes us to think that he is the only man competent for such work.
The next N. A. A. C. P. meeting will be held at Bethel Chapel on the third Monday in October.

THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS
In The Realm of Music
By Lucien H. White
Program of Classic Songs By Abbie Mitchell Was An Unusual Musical Happening
Artist Had Won Distinguished Place in Dramatic World and as Singer of Light Compositions-Her Venture Into Realm of Serious Music Revealed New Power.
It was a distinguished musical event, and the term is used in its broadest sense, when Abbie Mitchell, sextra, appeared in a recital of classic songs, the program embracing the widest range of serious song effort, from Johann Sebastian Bach (1085-1759) to our own Harry T. Burkigh, modern of the moderns. In this effort, Miss Mitchell had the super-support of Melville Charlton at the piano.
For years this young woman has been known to the theatre-going public as one of the most talented disciples of Thespis the race has produced. Her work, first in musical comedy in connection with her husband, Will Marion Cook, who won musical recognition years ago through his song writings, and then in drama, latterly with the Laramette Players, gave her an exalted standing with the two classes of follower the devotee of light and frivolous music and the student of serious drama.
It was only her real musical intimates who knew of the aspirations she cherished to leave an exponent of the higher forms of musical art, and it was only this intimate circle of her associates who knew of the long hours she spent in close and earnest study of Kleder, ancient and modern, and of the soprano roles of many in the big operas. But it is a fact, vouched for and authenticated, that even when she engaged publicly in the most frivolous of interpretations she was at the same time continuing her study of the work of Bach, Schubert, Brahms, Masson, and the other composers of the severe classic school.
Much of this study has been done under the coaching of Melville Charlton, receiving twenty years back into the future, and it was under Mr. Charlton's guidance that Miss Mitchell prepared this first program of classic songs.
It is a meagre phrase to use in describing the recital to say it was a success. From the artistic point of view, it was, without question, an outstanding event. The years that have passed have served but to ripen and mature a great native talent, and although the hypercritical might say that there was absent, a certain youthful verve and brilliance, in its stead was given an intensity of delineation and a purity of tonal utterance that more than compensated.
Miss Mitchell's studies and contacts, both in the United States and in European Capitals, have developed an unusual intellectual and artistic equipment, and these resources are called upon with prodigal laziness by the great artist when she is interpreting the musical utterances of ancient and modern masters.
The Bach number, that pathetic soul-wrenching cry of the Saviour uttered just after Judas had finished his fore-ordained task of treachery, "Bleed and Break," as portrayed in the "Passion of St. Matthew," was a fitting beginning for the program. She sang it with dramatic breadth and power and gave to it all the poignancy of the Christ's grief. In her succeeding numbers, there was exhibited a past mastery in the art of singing. To each number was given the proper tone color, whether of joy or sorrow, of triumph or despair, or the still, smooth flowing of pastoral expression.
In paying tribute to Miss Mitchell's artistry, it must not be overlooked that a large measure of credit must be given to Melville Charlton. This man has long since been recognized as one of America's most distinguished artists, without regard to race or color, and the accompaniment he played to Miss Mitchell's singing furnished a background of superb efficiency. The program arrangement was also Mr. Charlton's work, and it represented the ultimate in its perfect balance and constructive development.
"Bled and Break" (Bach—1685-1759); "Caro mo ben" (Giordani—1743-1798);

Miss Mitchell was presented in this recital by Mrs. Bertha DetVerney of 137 West 141st street, under the auspices of Classes 2 and 14 of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church. The auditorium was filled to its capacity, it being necessary to place a double line of extra chairs down the middle aisles. The audience was appreciative and gave Miss Mitchell a most cordial reception. There was a distinguished list of patrons and patronesses, and the audience was handled with expedition case by a group of ushers headed by Walter Hunter, and usherettes from the ranks of the Deltantes.
Following the recital, a reception was held in honor of the singer at the Church Brotherhood House. 129 West 135th street, the hostess being Mesdames F. D. L. Richardson and Queenie Davis, and Misses Sadie Davis, Wilhelmina Adams, Alice Ross and Evelyn Matthews, Mesdames Lucile Berleigh, Virgie Norman, W. M. Carrole and Zelma Davis.
MR. AND MRS. ECKLES
GIVE A JOINT RECITAL
John H Eckles, tenor, and Mrs
Bianche Smith-Eckles, soprano, appeared
in a joint recital on Tuesday evening,
September 25, at Renaissance Casino,
18th street and Seventh avenue,
having the assistance of Miss Hazel
Thomas as pianist and accompanist, together with their voice teacher, Fernando Macro, who played the piano when the singers gave operatic selec-
Mr. and Mrs. Eckles are earnest, sincere students of music, and they have devoted themselves in the most admirable manner to the developing of their ability to interpret the best in vocal music. Their ideals are high and the example they set is one that might well be emulated by hosts of young men and women blessed with large native talent. Ample preparation through stem application is necessary even to the individual most gifted with native talent, and it is a misfortune that this truth is not more generally recognized by members of the race who are posing as devotees
of artistic development, but whose accomplishments show a serious lack of propper preliminary training." The Eckles are charming in personality, and they have won an extensive circle of friends who have the most sincere desire for their advancement and wellbeing. These friends were present in goodly numbers at this recital, and the extreme cordiality of the reception given the artists showed that the audience was very sympathetic. Candor compels the statement that there are vocal limitations which restrict to some extent the work of both singers, but this is atoned for through the character of their offerings. There is much to be commended in the program which they offered, and having a knowledge of the road over which they have travelled, the difficulties overcome, and the sacrifices made before the present development was attained, it is a pleasure and duty to pay th' tribute to these worthy people.
The work of Miss Thomas as pianist and accompanist was, in keeping with the reputation this attractive little musician has built up through consistent development Her work, in fact, was given an added brilliance in contrast to the playing of the Italian voice teacher, Prof. Maero. The three operatic numbers, the accompaniments to which were played by him, would probably have taken on added effectiveness if they had been given with the technical efficiency possessed by Miss Thomas. The playing of Maero on this occasion certainly would not entitle him to being ranked as a piano virtuoso.
The program was as follows:
"Calm as the night" (Bohm); "Star
of me" (Rogers); "I want to be
ready" (Burleigh)—JOHN H. ECK-
LES, T. or, Miss Thomas at piano.
"Grillen" (Schumann); "Song of the

Mme. E. Louetta Chatman To Make Debut at Aeolian Hall on Thursday, Oct. 25
The appearance in rectal at Aeolian Hall on October 25 of Mme. M. Louresta Chapman will mark another step in the race's artistic development. For it will be the first time in the music life of the race that a colored singer who has been trained and developed solely by a colored teacher will make a bid for public recognition from the platform of Aeolian Hall. Mrs. Clementa the pupil of Wilson Lamb, who conducts studios in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. building, Main street, Orange, N. J., and at First Emmanuel Church, 105 West 130th street, New York City.
Mrs. Chatman is a native of Virginia, but she came to Orange several years ago and put herself under Mr. Lamb's instruction. She has made such commendable progress that her instructor believes she is prepared to brave the comment and review of the keenest and most discriminating of the metropolitan critics. And so she is to face an Acolian Hall audience on the evening of Thursday, October 25, with Mrs. Cora Wynn Alexander at the piano, in a program, that will test her ability to its utmost. Handel, Rubinstein, Kersakiw, Moxart and Burleigh are among the composers represented, and the numbers cover a wide range of musical expression.
The New Jersey friends of Mme. Chatman and Mr. Lamb have already made reservations that cover nearly the entire box seating capacity, and there has been a large sale of the individual seats. Indications are that a large and intelligent audience will be present at Mme. Chatman's debut.

SPORT COMMENT
There has always been opportunity for a colored athlete to win fame as a member of the Columbia University football team, but until this year no colored football star has been able to stand out at this institution. Perhaps it has been because of the fact that year after year, Columbia, with the largest student body of any school in the country, has turned out an inferior team to be beaten by prep schools and smaller colleges and universities.
At any rate the alumni and student body of this great school have become heartily tired of seeing their team occupy such a humble position in the football world, and this year they are making a strenuous effort to bring the Blue and White out of the rut. Percy D. Haughton, for many years head football coach at Harvard, and the originator of the famous "Harvard System," has been secured as the new coach at Columbia. Her has a staff of eight assistant coaches and trainers and has been working day and night for the past three weeks to develop a winning team.
A new hope is in the eyes of the student body of Columbia and for the first time in years they are expecting big things of their team. A long and ambitious schedule has been arranged, which includes games with Cornell, Dartmouth and the University of Pennsylvania.
One of the men most likely to be a member of the Columbia eleven this season is colored, and in many ways gives promise of being the star of the team. He is W. E. Jackson of Montclair, N. J., former center of the Lincoln University eleven of 1920. Jackson has been designated as a member of team A by Coach Haughton, to play the position of right guard. Although Jackson does not weigh more than 170 pounds, he is very stocky, built and has so impressed Coach Haughton with his ability to "open up a hole," that many of the plays have been planned to go through right guard and tackle.
Jackson is a sophomore at the University and is taking the regular college course. For the past month he has been living with the first two teams at the school training quarters, Baker Field, where the coaches have special supervision over each member of this squad.
For the first time in history it looks as though Columbia will turn out a winning team this season, and one of its members will be a Negro.
"Shuffle Along" Co. with Sissle and Blake, is at the Davison Theatre, Milwaukee, Wis.
NEW WHITNEY SHOW AT THE LAFAYETTE
Always a new show, always a clean show, always a good show, is not a plattitude nor meaningless descriptive publicity when applied to Whitney and Tutt's latest Smarter Set production. For many years Whitney and Tutt have toured the country and always with a new show, a clean show and a good show.
The many friends and patrons of the Smarter Set are assured that "North Ain't South" will not fall below the Smarter Set's previous high standard of excellence. Special scenic effects, and a wealth of new and beautiful costumes, made by Jenice Hillman for this new offering. "North Ain't South" has a simple story of Negro life abounding with humor, leavened with pathos and enlivened with pretty songs, syncopaced music, and phenomenal dancing. Among the specially written song numbers are "Sadie," "On Parade," "Maybe Some Day," and "What Kind of a Woman Does a Man Expect."
The show is given in two acts and ten scenes, each scene full of wholesome amusement and interesting action.
The Smarter Set, headed by the popular co-stars, Whitney and Tutt, will open a limited engagement at the Lafayette Theatre, Monday, October 8, with matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, with the usual popular midnight show on Friday night.
Grand Opening of the New Crescent Theatre
The grand reopening of the New Crescent Theatre, 36-38 West 135th street, under the management of Thos. Porter and Wm. Alex, Conaway, jr., on Monday night, October 1, was a gala occasion.

AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE
The world's record for rifle and pistol shots fired in proportion to the number of players was broken during the recent filming of "To the Last Man," according to Victor Fleming, director of this Paramount picture. It took five pack horses to carry the ammunition used in the making of the picture into location among the rugged hills of Arizona where the 10,000 rounds were discharged. The pleasant Valley war, an historic fight between two lauvess bands of cattlemen was reproduced. The fighting was carried on in fast tempo in this Zane Grey production which had been adapted for the screen from Zane Grey's immortal story. Richard Dix, featured in the production, held the record of the company by discharging 982 rounds, Lois Wilson is also featured. "To the Last Man," will be seen at the Lincoln Theatre for 4 days, beginning Thursday.
Wilbur Cohen Scores Knockout at Pioneer
Wilbur Cohen, former amateur flyweight champion, added another knockout to his long list of victories at the Pioneer Club on Tuesday evening. October 2. Cohen knocked out Sammy Cohen in the third round of a scheduled ten round bout with a short right to the jaw. It was Wilbur's second triumph over Sammy and showed that the colored fighter is much too fast for his Jewish opponent.
Commonwealth "5" Practice
The Commonwealth Big Five basketball team called its first practice the other might. Twenty candidates reported.

GARVEY FOLLOWERS ASKED TO FINANCE LEADER'S VACATION
At the regular Sunday evening meeting held at Liberty Hall, West 138th street, President General Marcus Garvey of the U.N. I. A., free from the Tombs Prison on $15,000 bail pending his appeal from the sentence of five years in the Federal Prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, given after he was convicted of using the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of Black Star Line stock, used a good bit of his time in denouncing George W. Harris, ex-Alderman from the 21st district.
The President General emphasized his opposition to the man who was defeated in the September Primary for nomination on the regular Republican ticket as candidate for election to the Board of Aldermen, and advised his followers, that is those who are, qualified to vote, that they must draw a line through the name of George W. Harris wherever it may appear indicating him as a candidate for public office of any sort. And the same thing was advised in the same manner in the past to have signed a protest against Carviesism which was sent out some time ago and published in a number of race papers.
Two other happenings featured the evening's meeting. One was the distribution of large envelopes, 2 5-8 by 6 1/2 inches, on which was inscribed: "Contribution to Marcus Garvey Vaccine," "Address of donor and amount enclosed, with the additional printed statement, 'I contribute the above as a token of my appreciation of the President-General.' These envelopes were to be returned by September 27, but evidently dilatimer on part of Garvey for an additional enclosure the time limit, for urgent and earnest appeals were made for returns of the envelopes on Sunday evening, September 30.
The second incident was really a dual happening, for it embraced two big fights which were engaged in by certain sympathizers, who attributed an attitude toward the evenings proceedings and toward the President General which was assumed by non-sympathizers whose presence itself was objectionable. Onlookers say that there was more energy exhibited than was commensurate with damage done, and that the police and military attaches quieted the belligerent ones.
It is reported that the leader's vacation trip is intended as a kind of triumphal tour of the provinces prior to the arrival of the new governor, the minister, significance in the near future.
La Favorita Lunch
Room Has Big Opening
The enlarged La Favorita Lunch Room, 2128 Seventh avenue, opened amusiously on Saturday evening, September 29, with an elaborate program arranged by its proprietor, L. LeBect. The program included lively musical numbers by Neptune Band and addresses by Rakey Gray, M. Paine and Alderman John William Smith, all of who spoke highly of the splendid equipment and courtesies service of this establishment. The proprietor, Mr. LeBect, thanked his friends for their support in the past and ask for their continuous patronage. LeBect began his restaurant business at this address about a year ago in a small building and was so successful that he was enabled to lease the adjoining store and has now doubled his space.

"Y" Girls Return for the Winter's Activities With Egger Earnestness and Vin
Girls! Girls! Girls Most of them filled with vigor and fresh enthusiasm from a summer spent out of doors in campall. They come crowding, in eager to begin the winter's activities tuba lessons. Lots of new girls come also, who join in the wearers of the middies and blue shoes who want to be Girl Reserves and learn "To face life squately, and find and give the best." If you are ten or eighteen, or any age in between, join the Girl Reserves and find knowledge, wider friendships, increased service and more fun. There are clubs, you know, for school and employed girls. There are grade girls, with a snappy program and you may learn handcraft, kodaking and to play the ukelele.
This is the first week of classes and we begin the year with the earnest aim to do better work in the Educational Department than we have ever done before. Perhaps the greatest strength of our educational system is the policy of fitting the subject to the student rather than the student or woman (age being barrier) is helped to discover what she needs and she is encouraged to go one from where she is, no matter how mary years may have passed since her school days. Settled in her classes, she feels herself not so much a pupil, i. a school as part of a great, world-wide fellowship of women working together for the mutual advantage of one another. Vespers begin next Sunday, October 7, at 4 p. m. a good program is planned and we hope that a friend, we are, will be among large numbers. It has been rather lonely, not seeing the familiar faces during the summer months.
Next week the June, December, July
and April Clubs will meet on Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evenings, October 9, 10, 11, and
12 respectively. There will be only
one Membership table before big

A committee headed by Misses Dora Thompson and Bessie Brisane was set to arrange a special program at the Katy Ferguson Home on Columbus Day.
The Katy Ferguson Home is doing more practical good in caring for hundreds of girls and unmarried mothers than any charitable organization in Harlem, but the colored people of the community have not contributed on-tenth of
Three services last Sunday, with Sunday-school, made up a full day at Newman Memorial M. E. Church, Rev. T. W. Cooper, pastor. In the morning, the pastor preached from St. Mark, 2:21, subject, "Patchwork." His evening subject was "Builders," based on Matthew 7:24-27. The sermons were splendid expositiones, making a call to his hearers. Mrs J. W. Historian interment, was in charge of Sunday-school at 1:30 clock.
At 4 o'clock, a special service was held under auspices of Cops. B. and J. James Powell and L. H. White, repective captains. The address was delivered by the Rev. Richard Manuel Bolden, chief pastor of First Emmanuel Church, 105 West 130th street, Manhattan, and special music was rendered by a male quintet which accompanied him. Rev. Bolden's discourse, based on the thought that man's accomplishments in life are only temporary, the power of God being the only permanent development, was intently interesting and held the audience to closest attention. The quintet, Howard Brown, 1st tenor; Howard Brown, 2nd tenor; H. Woleman, baritone; Ernest Baillow, basso; James Harcum, tenor, sang with line effect. The numbers given included "God is my refuge," "Hide me," "Thou art my soul," and the Spiritual, "Somebody's knocking at the door." A liberal collection was given toward the anniversary thanks offering.
Mrs. Mary Shand and Everett W. Payne, captains of Gos. G and F, respectively, are offering a special musical program next Sunday at 3 oclock, with a fine group of soloists. The program will be Gos.
