C.—Contrary to all expectations and surprising to all concerned, except, perhaps, those on the "inside," the Republican National Committee, on Wednesday, December 12, rescinded its former action looking to the reduction of southern representation in the National Convention, and restored to the southern states their original delegational power. This action, taken unexpectedly, was entirely so popular with members of the committee that no roll call was necessary and none was taken. The only action against the action was made by S. Howell of Nebraska, and S.

"Pretoria, Tuesday, Melbourne declaring the color bar in London to be repugnant to the precedent law of the land has just been declared by the Supreme Court in a concluded judgment by Mr. Justice Davies in which Mr. Justice Tindall of the Justice Morice concurred. The matter arose on an application to the Attorney-General for a ruling on provision of law in a case in which the manager was acquitted by a magistrate of contravention of the Mines Act. Machinery Regulations by permission a native to be in charge of a defensive on the ground that the regulation was ultra vires, mainly in account of its unreasonableness, and because it did not apply to all classes also. Mr Justice Krause said that the real real was whether the regulation was ultra vires in that it discriminated between white and colored persons at all. It would be dangerous to hold in the absence of express statutory provision that the Governor-General had under cover of the general words to make such a regulation. DR. GEO. E. CANNON IS NAMED DELEGATE AT LARGE FROM N. J (Special Correspondence) Trenton, N. J.—The Republican State Committee met here on Tuesday, December 18, and "suggested" the seven Republican candidates for delegates-at-large to the Republican National Convention. For the first time in the history of the State a colored man was named as one of the delegates-at-large. The honor fell on Dr. George E. Cannon of Jersey City, who defeated Dr. Walter G. Alexander, an aspirant for the same post. Afterwards Dr. Alexander was named as the alternate to Dr. Cannon. Dr. Cannon's candidacy was strongly supported by Oliver Randolph, former Assemblyman, now Assistant United States District Attorney. BAN ON MIXED BOUTS TEMPORARILY LIFTED BY PA. COMMISSION Philadelphia, Pa.—The Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission, at the request of Attorney General Woodruff, decided on December 18 to suspend temporarily its ruling prohibiting mixed bouts until the Department of Justice has an opportunity to examine the legal phase of the matter. The suspension of this ruling was in a large measure due to the fight made by Commissioner Charles Fred White, the colored member of the Commission, who pretends that the ruling is illegal. The Attorney General will meet with the Commission within the next ten days and the legality of the ruling will be discussed. Founded in 1900 by the Late Philip A.

Detectives Maloney and Cornelius Manning were walking along Amsterdam avenue, near 64th street, when they saw three Negroes fighting, two blocks away. Williams, they say, drew a revolver and fired at his two companions, but missed them. Turning, he fled in the direction of the detectives. As he passed them they ordered him to stop, but he kept on running. It was then that Maloney fired at him. Williams said the altercation arose over a girl. He was charged with felonies assault and violation of the Sullivan law.

"Hootch" Poison Cases Increased More Than 300 Per Cent. In Past 3 Weeks Extra Demand Caused by Approach of Holiday Season Is Probably Cause of Less Care Being Exercised in Redistilling Denatured Alcohol Used by Bootleggers In Concecting "Hootch." WHOLELY DENATURED ALCOHOL IS EASY TO GET BY REASON OF LESS RIGID RULES FOR ITS HANDLING BY MANUFACTURERS Accidents Due to Hootch Are of Frequent Occurrence. One Man Lost Hand in Door and Another Man Is Shot During Crap Game Played in Basement of a Lenox Avenue Bootlegger. With the advent of the holiday season, the unscrupulous "hootch" seller who has no regard for the health or physical well-being of the misguided drinker, is putting out liquor that is absolutely poison, judging from the many reports of individuals who have died or made seriously ill as a result of drinking the stuff that is being payments on the site for the proposed Pythian Temple at 144th street and Letroz avenue, and in attempting to enforce the purchase of bonds by making it compulsory upon the members, is declared illegal in a decision handed down by the Supreme Court of Westchester It was stated a few days ago by local medical authorities that cases of liquor poisoning has increased more than 300 per cent within the past three weeks. This means that in the rush and hurry of providing an increased amount of "hootch" for the holiday season, the bootleggers, men whose only considera- branch of the Public Library Is a Activity Center City Inexhaustible Resources of the Library—Opened Door of Race, Admitting Them of Endeavor. resting centers of activity in branch of the New York Pubnox avenue. The book and periodical resources at command of patrons of this library are practically inexhaustible, as every facility available in the parent library at 42nd street, and Fifth avenue, in addition to any special facility possessed by the forty or more other branch libraries in Manhattan Borough, together, with those in the Bronx and Richmond Borough, is at the service of card holders in the 135th street branch. And the New York Library is one of the world's greatest literary institutions. The value of such an institution as the branch library to any community is measured according to the use which is made of it. For the student, the minister, the lawyer, the physician, or the specialist in any of the trades or professions, it is inexcimable. And the branch librarian, Miss Ernestine Rose, with her corps of capable assistants, gives to the library patron every possible assistance in the use of its equipment. And the more this opportunity is taken advantage of the more valuable it becomes. Colored Girl on Assistant. Another important advantage accruing to the race through the 135th street (Continued on Eighth Page) Negro Dentist Arrested in Fake Doctor Investigation On Tuesday, December 18, three doctors were arrested on a charge of practicing their professions with diplomas from the "Diploma Mill." Among them was Dr. A. B. J. Wogkman, a colored dentist with offices at 140 West 133rd street. Dr. Workman is alleged to have admitted that he was formerly a clown and the lack of a future in that job caused him to open a shop as a dentist. The arrests on Tuesday were said by Deputy Attorney General Dwyer to be the foremost of an extensive round of fake dentists and doctors. It was stated a few days ago by local medical authorities that cases of liquor poisoning has increased more than 300 per cent within the past three weeks. This means that in the rush and hurry of providing an increased amount of "hooch" for the holiday season, the bootleggers, men whose only consideration is for possible profits, are not careful in carrying out the process of redistilling denatured alcohol so as to remove the chemicals which have been used to make ethyl alcohol unfit for human consumption. Leagl Regulations As all of the poisonous elements are not removed from the denatured alcohol before it is converted, by use of synthetic extracts and flavors, burn sugar, ete, into the commercial "booch" which is being sold in tremendous quantities in Harlem and other sections, the drinking of this liquor results always, sometimes immediately and sometimes at a later period, in blindness, paralysis or death. The legal regulations for use of denatured alcohol, because it is unfit for consumption, are not so strict as for grain alcohol. It is free of tax, and is intended solely for use in the arts and industries. Completely denatured for sale to general public, it is subject to slight supervision. Specially denatured, not completely denatured, can only be obtained under heavy bond for use in manufacturing, and so is not so easily available. The denatured plants are under control of the Collector of the Internal Revenue District, and is in joint custody of the proprietor and a revenue officer assigned by Collector. A bond, which varies from $10,000 for not exceeding 4,500 proof gallons, to $100,000 for 43,000 gallons or more, each thirty days. Latitude for Dealers. Then, too, daily reports must be made in duplicate of each shipment, and these reports are sent by the officer in charge, one to the Collector and the other direct to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washington. Daily reports must be made of all alcohol and denaturants used; and of the denatured alcohol produced. But the dealer in and manufacturer of completely denatured alcohol are not subject to such rigid regulations. They will not be required to obtain a permit or render an account of the alcohol bought, sold or used. So that the bootlegger engaged in manufacturing "hown "hootch" finds the way easy to a supply of the very liquor that is most injurious to his customers. The consequent result is that men and women are stricken each day following the imbibing of such "hootch" as is dispensed by many of the men engaged in this illegal and conscienceless traffic. Hand Severed by Deer Hardly a day passes but that same calamities incident isn't chronicled, the cause of which is to be traced directly to the illicit dealing in "hootch." Just a few weeks ago one of the patrons of a "hootch" joint, run by Hyman, at Sill Lenco avenue, corner 159th street, had a hand covered at the wrist when his arm was caught in the swinging twister as he entered the place in search of a drink. The man is now in the Harbor Hospital. PAGE TWO Saturday, December 15, in the basement of the taken at corner of 133rd street and Lenox avenue, was of more minor势. The Italian propietor, Dominique Scala, it is alleged, has been permitting some of his clients to engage in armed shooting in the basement on Saturday, a pay day with many of them. The trap-shooting crowd, however, became too bolder, it is reported, and so the proprietor went down to contact the men to be more quiet. One of the men, James Chapman, 47 year old, of 38 West 140th street, because incensed, it is alleged, and drew a revolver to shoot the Italian. But when he fired, in some manner, the bullet was deflected and hit Monroe Troy of 542 Lenox avenue. Chapman fired five times, but only one bullet took effect, that one lodging in Troy's abdomen. Chapman was arrested by Officer John J. Thorpe of the 48th Detective. Charged with firing at Troy and also with violating the Sullivan law by having a pistol, while Troy was taken to the Harlem Hospital in a serious condition. Bootleggers are Boasting In the meantime, notwithstanding activities of the Federal officials, both of the prohibition enforcement and the legal forces, there is no appreciable letup in the traffic in Harlem. Loui, Hyman, Moe, the big triumvirate, boast loud and long that they are not to be driven out of the bootlegging business. But all is not serene in the bootlegging ranks, at that. Hyman Cassell has become the biggest figure in Harlem "hootch" circles and is now operating at least fifteen places. This does not please Loui Bemberger, who was responsible, it is alleged, for Hyman going into the business. And so there is a soreness between the two erstwhile partners that is gradually increasing. Hyman has branched out in the wholesale line within the last couple of weeks, and this is another trespass upon territory Loui thought to control. At 640 and 652 Lenox avenue, Hyman has opened up, and is selling in quantities only. The smallest quantity to be had is a quart, and the purchaser can buy up to five gallons or more, if desired. To meet this phase of the proposition, and to begin preparations for the future probable curtailment of the present bold and defiant - bootlegging operations, "bootch" peddlers are being sent out with backtails, suit cases and sacks, containing lictors, and they make a door-to-door canvass for customers. They are reported to be as bold as though they were lockstering potatoes or some other food commodity, and when asked as to what they are selling, they tell the housewife or whoever else their questioner might be, that their stock consists of corn, gin, or whatever the prospective client might desire. Some of the bottlerggers are apprehensive of the result of prolonged agitation and are reported to be willing to make concessions to stop the fight on their activities. One of the most prominent is alleged to have said that he would see to it that only pure grain/alcohol was used in concocting "hooto," in an attempt to eliminate the serious nuance to health, and even life itself, which is contained in some of the stuff now masquerading as whiskey or gin in the Harlem-bourgeizing establishments. COL Hayward's Fight Col. William Hayward, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, is deadly in earnest in his determination to do what he can to gurp bootlegging activities in his territory. In an address delivered at the Waldorf to a conference of civic and religious organizations he declared that many professional and business men of gaining high standing were really "accomplices of bootleggers and abettors in inducing them to commit murder, robbery, perjury, forgery and bribery." A half-dotten classes of professional and public men were named by Colonel Hayward as playing the part of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in pretending to observe the law while they patronized bootleggers. They were, he said: "Lawyers who put their oaths to support the Constitution in their brief cases for use only in the courtroom. "Bankers who lean heavily on one arm of the law for the protection of How Long Are Hootch Sellers to Be Allowed To Defy Decency? Illicit bootch-sellers operate openly and brazenly in Harlem. Law enforcement officers are not only defied, but it is openly charged that the bootleggers have complete control of official activities through large sums paid in bribery. Is this true? If not, why is it that Loud, Moe, Hyman, "Chief," Dominique Tony, and the other Harlem bootleggers are so bold in their illicit liquor selling? Listed below are 82 addresses of business places on Fifth, Lenox, Seventh and Eighth avenues, and on West 132nd, 135th, 138th, 139th, 140th and 144th streets, and it is alleged at each of these addresses bootleggers are operating, either openly or under a camouflage of some sort.

In spite of these discouragements, Colonel Hayward said that prohibition had come to stay and that he killed the state, "having laid down its part of the burden of prohibition enforcement, would take it up again." He asserted that only last week "in this very wet city of New York," eleven of a gang of bootleggers has been sent to jail after they had boasted for three years that they were above the law. A Suggestion With the holiday season at hand, it would be well for the government officials to pay particular attention to conditions in Harlem, but it is suggested that only such officers as are known absolutely to be above reproach and not apt to be corrupted, by bradycy be sent to this district.

Shields of the 28th Precinct, after Shields had found Frank in Sobel's Pawn Shop trying to pawn a $1,500 diapond necklace for $100. The prisoner could not explain how he came into ownership of the brooch and pretended not to know its full value. The detective then visited his apartment and there found other jewelry valued at $10,000, some of which was later identified as belonging to George W. Watson of 190 Riverside Drive. Frank was later identified as an exconvict, with a record of from 2½ to 4 years in Sing Sing. He was known to the police as the shade burglar, because of his method of clipping window cords whenever he entered a home. In his home was also found pawn tickets on several other pawn shops and army cruders belonging to Lieut. McMarrow of 120 Riverside Drive, a former aviator. He was held without bail to await the action of the Grand Jury. Battles Poise of Hundreds Singled Handed Before They Kill Him. Drew, Miss.—Joe Pullen, Negro tenant farmer, is dead from the effects of a score of machine gun bullets, after he had battled a posse of several hundred men seven hours, killing three men and wounding nine others, three of them possibly fatally. The fight ended at 1 o'clock in the morning of last Friday after postmen had brought up a machine gun from Clarksdale, Miss., poured a waffling fire into a drainage ditch, where Pullen had entrenched himself, and four of them braved his unerring fire to storm the Negro's position. Pullen was brought here, where he laid in the main street until he died. Killa Landlord The trouble started when Pullen shot and instantly killed W. T. Sanders, 45, on whose farm he lived, after an argument over a debt Pullen is allowed to have owed Sanders. Sanders died instantly with a bullet through his heart. Pullen armed himself with a shotgun, in addition to his pistol, and deli into a swamp three miles from here. Several times Pullen was sighted by a quickly formed small posse, but each time proved the better. Markman. One by one he dropped his pursuers from ambush, and by the time he reached his last stand in the drainage, ditch the 40 year-old Negro's deadly aim with shotgun and pistol had accounted for eleven possemen. His twelfth victim fell while aiding in placing the machine gun. Many Wounded By that time the posse contained several hundred members. In addition to Saunders, Pullen's victims included R. L. Methevin, 55, and E. O. Hess, 50, possemen. The more seriously wounded: J. L. (Bud) Doggett, prominent lumberman and sportsman of Clarksdale, shot near the heart, and A. L. Manning and Kenneth Blackwood, farmers, both shot in the face and neck. Doggett is said to have a chance for his life, but Manning and Blackwood are expected to die. Others wounded were Luther Huech, C. A. Hammond, Bob Stringfellow, J. B. Ratlieff, B. A. Williams and Robert Kirsch.

They were victims of an unmasked mob of more than fifteen men who went to the hotel where the Negro had been employed three days ago as a porter and shot them down when Birch attempted to persuade them to desist from their threat to lynch the Negro.

PYTHIAN RESERVE FUND MUST BE PUT BACK, SAYS COURT (Continued from Liret Page) Justice J. Taylor, presiding, gave the injunction applied for by Liret, PGC, a member of Lin- cester, K. of P, Yonkers. The judgment provided that Grand Court drewford and the Grand Liret were restrained from enforcing the provisions of the $10 bond assessment; from further monies from the Liret in connection with the pur- pose of the temple site; and directing the Liret six months, to restore to the Liret by sale of site or other- takes taken from reserve fund, and results from hypothe- cary certain Liberty Bonds which may that fund. It is hereby come after a long fight Mr. Bray to prevent use of the property for this purpose, and to provide the grand lodge from enforcing which would have made the possession of the $10 bond assessment a claim before dues or other assets and which he claims would be the result of their rights and benevolence to the endowment or rights privileges of the order. The charge was made that following a favorable vote upon the temple-building permission by the Grand Lodge in 1821, the grand chancellor unseparated IMPERIAL BARBER SHOP Most Cherished among the Gifts bestowed by the Passing Year is the memory of the pleasant relations with those whom we have been privileged to serve.

Alleging that only $2,500 was immediately available, Mr. Bray charged that the grand lodge officers drew approximately $11,000 from the reserve fund, a fund which should have been kept sacrificially invadee for the payment of death benefits. Subsequent drafts upon this fund were made in order to meet payments on the lot. At the grand judge session held in Binghamton last July, an order was passed authorizing the enforcement of the effort with relation to the $10 bond assessment, but Bray went into court at White Plains and asked for a restraining order against this action, and also against a further use of money from the reserve fund, for the temple site. On August 18, Supreme Court Justice Tompkins at White Plains granted an injunction, pendente litio, affording the relief asked by Bray. It is charged by the plaintiff that on the day the hearing was had, the grand chancellor drew from the bank more than $4,000 in Liberty Bonds, which he hypotheticated and turned the money received therefrom over to the Temple Commission, in direct contempt of the temporary court injunction. It is this transaction referred to in Justice Taylor's order. The Court Order. Following Justice Tempkins' granting of the temporary injunction, the case was called for trial in the Supreme Court, Justice J. Taylor presiding, September term. The court finding is as follows: (COPY) SUPREME COURT OF NEW YORK WESTCHESTER COUNTY. PAUL H. BRAY, Plantuf. - english THE GRAND LODGE, KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS, ETC. AND ANOTHER, Defendants. Deiring to finance in part the building of a Temple for Lodge and other corporate purposes, the corporate defendant adopted the expedient of compelling each of its 5,000 members, and also each of its subordinate lodges, to purchase a $10 bond; and when the returns were not satisfactory, the defendant Grand Lodge Chancellor issued an edict, afterwards approved and ratified by the Grand Lodge, threatening the non-paying members with suspension "from all benefits, until the same is paid." The plaintiff, sitting on his own behalf and for those similarly situated as members of the Order, alleges that he holds two death benefit certificates, that he has paid all dues and assessments properly levied and is in good standing in the Order; he alleges that he has been interfered with in the exercise of his rights as a member because he has not bought a bond, and that he is threatened with suspension from all benefits for the same reason. He also alleges the claimed improper use by the defendants of the reserve fund, which he says is dedicated to and should be held sacred for the Listen to BESSIE SMITH sing these weird, woof- ful, wailing songs Any Woman's Blues and Cemetery Blues (Record 13001-D) 75c The Annot talent among colored art- tists records exclusively for Colum- bia. You always are sure to find just the images you want—as you want N—at the Columbia Dealer's store. Columbia New Process Records Columbia Phonograph Company, New York payment of death benefits; he alleges, and it is not disputed, that this fund to the extent of upwards of $20,000, has been used in the purchase of a lot for the temple. The plaintiff seeks in this action (a), an injunction to prevent the defendants carrying out their threats of suspension from benefits, of those subordinate lodges and the members of the Order who are delinquent in the matter of purchasing bonds, and (b) a direction restraining further use of the reserve fund for the purchase of land or for the construction of the temple, and his counsel intimates that there should be a mandatory judicial direction that the reserve fund thus depleted, be restored to its former condition by having replaced therein the money so used in purchasing the property. The defendants contend that the scheme involving the compulsory purchase of bonds is legal; they admit, in effect, that the diversion of the reserve fund money used in the purchase of the land for the temple was illegal; and they urge that the plaintiff has no standing because he has not exhausted his remedies in the premises in the tribunals of the Order. I will discuss the matter in the order of subjects above indicated: First: It is fundamental that the power to levy fines, dues and assessments depend upon the provisions of the charter (here certificate of incorporation) and the constitution and by-laws (see 29 Cyc. 1 and cases cited); in the instant case no authority is given in any of those documents nor by the law of the State to levy an assessment for the THE NEW YORK AGE purposes of the purchase of land and building for a temple; and as was said by Justice Blackmar in a somewhat similar case: "If that power it not found in the charter of the Club, it does not exist. The charter is the whole body of the general laws of the state applicable to corporations of this character. I have searched the laws in vain for an authority to levy assessments under that name" (See 'his opinion in Thompson v Wyandaugh Club, 70 Misc. 299; 127 N. Y. Supp. 195). The plaintiff and his fellow members acquired certain vested rights which are evidenced by benefit certificates, and which rights cannot be impaired by any such action as culminated in the threatened suspension "from all benefits" of subordinate lodges and members in good standing who had paid the lawful dues and assessments prescribed in the constitution (Thompson, Wyndy Club supra, and cases there cited). This is not a case where "the contract of insurance or the charter expressly or "otherwise clearly provides that the assessment may be changed "from time to time" as was the situation in McClement, Order of Foresters (222 N. Y. 420 at p. 477); and, while it may be conceded time where the member in his original application his agreed to conform to the laws of the order then in force or "thereafter to be enacted, the society has the power to "change such laws even so far as to affect the rights to the benefit fund" and to reduce the amount which a given member might receive for benefit (see opinion of Pound J. in Everett v Supreme Council Catholic Benevolent Legion, N. Y. Law Journal August 22, 1923), no authority appears to exist to the effect that rights which a member has under his benefit certificate may be taken away from him because of his refusal to pay an assessment not contemplated by the Charter of the corporation, its constitution or the laws of the State. I have determined, therefore, that the proceedings of the Grand Lodge culminating in the Grand Chancellor's effect threatening "suspension from benefits" were null, and void and were ineffectual to impair the rights of certificate holders who were in good standing. I see no objection to the voluntary purchase of bonds by members; but those who do not purchase may not be suspended from benefits by reason of Madam C.J. Walker Preparations If you want Beauty of Completeness and loveliness of Hair try Mme C.J. Walker's World Renowned Toilet Preparations their failure to purchase. A somewhat analogous situation in the case of a manufacturing corporation which was authorized to pass by-laws governing its business, was judicially condemned in an authority which holds that such a corporation, by its by-laws, cannot compel stockholders to furnish daily to the corporation a certain amount of material to be manufactured, the by-laws imposing a fine for failure so to, do (Monroe Dairy Assn. v Webb, 40 App. 49; 57 N. Y. Sump, 572). Second: No argument is required to demonstrate that the investment of a portion of the "reserve fund" in vacant land was wholly illegal and improper (Insurance Law, Article 7, being Chapter 33 of the Laws of 1909 and acts amendatory there of; $233, subdivision 3, Insurance Law; and $16 Insurance Law). The circumstance that this act was done under the compulsion of the failure of the members to pay the illegal assessment, that is, to purchase bonds, is of no moment. That fund is sacred as a continuing security to those who hold benefit certificates (See McClure v Levy, 79 Huii 235; 29 N. Y. Supp. 325; affid. 147 N. Y. 215). Therefore, the act of the defensants in using the cash of the Reserve Fund, and that raised by the hypothesis of Liberty bonds in which a part of that trust fund was properly invested, must meet with judicial disapproval, even though it is apparent that the defendants had a thoroughly unselfish purpose in view, namely the procuring of a temple building which all interested seem to agree would be of benefit to the order and jits members. It follows that further encroachments upon the reserve fund must be restrained, and that within a reasonable time restitution of the diverted moneyys should be had. This may be accomplished, if necessary, at least in part by the sale of the land purchased for the temple. Third: The contention is made by the defendants that the plaintiff must resort to the tribunals or courts of the order for address of his prerequisites, before maintaining this action for that purpose. That rule undoubtedly applies to matters of internal policy (Fay v Supreme Tent etc. 38 Misc. 427; 77 N. Y. Supp. 994; Baxter v McDannell 155 N. Y. 831); it does not apply to the instant case which involves questions of law on forts substantially undepotted; under the circumstance disclosed in the record it would appear to be useless to try to have these questions litigated otherwise then in the regular judicial forum where they may be decided with finality (See Corps Juris Volume 7, page 1122, citing Gray v Chapter General, &c. Knights of St. John & Malta, 70 App. Df. 155, 75 N. Y. Supp. 267; Fay v Supreme Tent, etc. 38 Misc. 427; 77 N. Y. Supp. 994; Brown v Supreme Court, etc. Order of Foresters, 34 Misc. 550; 70 N. Y. Supp. 397; affd. 66 App. Div. 259; 72 N. Y. Supp. 806; affd. 176 N. Y. 132). In addition no such defense is pleaded. Judgment is, therefore, directed in favor of the Plaintiff and against the defendants as follows: (a). Restraining the defendants from enforcing the payment of the assessment of $10, involving the compulsory purchase of a bond for the construction of a temple, against the plaintiff, or any other member of the corporate defendant; REGINALL COCOA BALM America's Greatest Hair Grower Malms short, stubborn hair grow long; custardine and beautiful and easy to cook.

(c) Directing the corporate defendant within six months to cause to be restored to the reserve fund by a sale of the site purchased or otherwise, the moneys therefrom used in the purchase of said site, including those moneys so used resulting from the hypothecation of Liberty bonds belonging to the fund. I was favorably impressed with all of the parties and witnesses in the controversy. They are persons of color, of splendid intelligence and well meaning, all of whom have availed themselves of the great opportunities, educational and otherwise, which our common country affords to all of us, regardless of race or creed. I think it will be possible for all of those interested on both sides of the case to cooperate with one another, with the assistance of the learned counsel on both sides, to formulate some new, different and legal plan which will result, in the building of the temple—a consummation which both sides of the controversy agree should be had as the temple is needed and should be built. Judgment accordingly, but under the circumstances without costs; settle decision and judgment on notice; the defendants will kindly present their requests to find upon, which I will pass at the time of the settlement of the form of the decision and judgment.

The action oi the Republican National Committee in re- versing its former decision as to the reduc- tion of the number *# delegates to be elected from the Southern States, has increased the ‘activity of those interested in the success of the two leading candidates, who up to this time comprise President Covlidge and Sena- “tor Johnson of California. © While President Harding was credited yith favoring the curtailing of the power of the South in the convention, President Coalidge has declared himself in favor of a rule which would apply to all alike, white “and black. He desired to eliminate criticism bE the method of nominating ‘presidential candidates, but declared that there must_be ‘no discriminatory action which operated against the Negro especially.

Since the time when the Republican majority in Congress, under the leadership of James G.

Opportunity, for December, the monthly jnugnal published under the auspices of the National Urban League, printed an editorial entitled “Propaganda:.and Common, Sense,” in whieh it said: For fifty years the South has been repeating the sterentype that “the southern white man knows the Negro” aad many prople, including most of these southern men thempeives. believe itt Nothing could be further {fom the truth, strange to say And the most convincing evidence is, among a hon- dred other items, the rather ‘pathetic insistence that the migration of Negroes ffom the South can be stepped by scaring away labor agents and by cir- culating stories among southern Negroes to the ef tert that migrants. m the North are freezing and starving to death, Negroes know better. They have ther awn channels of information. Shortly. after Georgia succeeded in/making the soliciting of labor a sérions offence, 140.000 Negroes eft, 20d. {rom ‘Alabama, with afl it Laws, 99,000 left in one sear ‘The article shdwed how the Southern white propagandists have been making use of the press toingjie-a mass of misinforma- tion, under the niisleading. term of a “surs vey." The object of this proceeding was to discourage further’ migration on the part of Southern Negroes. As the editor of Oppor tunity said, it is} not often that these “sur- veys" can be completely checked, but he was successful in exposing the bogus character] of at least one of them. . It is then told’ how the Georgia Real Es- tate Association sent out-# questionnaire to a chamber of commerce in a large Northera| city, asking for “reliable mformation from responsible sources aboyt the Negro in the North.” This ‘paper was carefully filled out and returned. To show the utter disregard of the facts by the propagandist, the journal printed the questionnaire and the news at-| cle based upon it. Among the ‘basgless Hatements made in the article, ds the re- alts of Negro migration, to the North, were| ne incrassg of prejudice and the ceeasitica | “PHB WHEW. York 12Gg (of labor ‘minsii, thousands of: Southern’ Ne- groes “walking the streets: huhgry snd job- less," “clashes and brawls with foreigners,” “thousands stricken with. consumption and ther ills ‘reaulting from cold weather.” ‘The "questionnaire furnished no’ founda- tion for any of these alarming statements. ‘On the contrary it showed that the Negro was a member of the union in the building trades and was being solicited to enter the iron and steel unions. He lived in mixed sections without arousing resentment among the whites and his living conditions were ‘equal to those of the whites, The Negroes mixed with Italians and Jews in schools and in jobs.” Employers stated that their ser- vices were generally satisfactory. ‘The death rate was giver’ as 17.57 per 1,000 while the birth rate was 22.6. This death rate may seem high as compared with 12 per ,000 for New York and 11.8 for the country at large. but on the other hand ’Memphis has a rate of 178 per 1,000, so at all events migration has not increased it. | The attempt to: foot the Negroes of the South by such puerile deceit and trickery is unworthy of the business element of that section, The editor of Opportunity has done well to expose it, - ' EXPLAINING MR. MUNSEY. - A correspondent wh is invariably well infornied an the subjects he discuss&, offered The Age the following explanation as to the Teasons actuating “Mr, Frank Munsey, “the Proprietor of the New York Herald, in, ad- vocating, the removal of the existing restric: tions on foreign immigration, His motive was to check the migration of Negro labor from the South and keep it in the cotton fields, where he said it was needed, “ According to our informant, Mr. Munsey is a native of New England, hailing from the State of Maine and a graduate of cither Bates or Bowdoir-Coltege—-He-is interested, either through his sympathies or in a more material way, in the textile industries of New England, which are now becoming de- moralized on account of the searcity of raw cotton, Capital invested in the growing dye industry, the great machine works and other manufacturing plants dependent on the ma- jor textile industries, is also suffering in an equal degree. ‘The dividends paid are smal- ler and the general outlook is depressing through the New England mill towns. Mr. Munsey’s sentimental’ associations with New England, as well as his capitalis- tic operations, undoubtedly have inclined him to the opinion that the place of the Ne gro as a laborer is in the South, to pick cotton, This belief was doubtless accentu- ated when Roger M. Rabson, the well known, econoniist, noted the decline in market value of textile securities. It would not he sur- prising to find all the New England news-| papers following Mr. Munsey's lead and clamoring for the removal of all restrictions on foreign immigration, so that the black laborers could be kept in the South.

"And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid. "And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people." For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." A PARABLE (A Christmas Story by Willa Belle Mayes—"Ianocent"—Jacksonville, Fla.) "Pit-a-Pat!" "Pit-a-Pat!" tapped the rain on the window through which the Little Girl was watching. Just a little while ago she had been so happy and "Gay but now her Bright Eyes" were filled with tears and the little face that had been so full of Smiles and "Happiness" was too sad, for she knew that her birth- "Your Majesty, I will travel faster than 'Atalanta'- runs." "Does he mean 'Atalanta'- the Greek runner?" inquired "Ethel." "Little Girl, thou art home." "Ethel" rubbed her sleepy eyes and ran to the window. "Mother, mother," she called, "it has ceased raining." Mrs. Greene came to the window and looked out. "Yes, it has. It is just ten minutes after four o'clock. Just then they heard two "Toots" of a born. They went to the door and saw "Fay," "Sidney," and the others she had mentioned and those I do not know, also. "Wasn't it nice of 'Bob' to call and get us?" they all cried. "Mother, you did that," "Ethel" accused. "Yes, darling; mother could afford to show her daughter anything but 'Kindness' on her birthday so she sent 'Bob' for the rest who had not come. "Mena' you do not mean to tell me that you brought the baby." "Yes, 'Snookums' wanted to come so I brought her." When Mrs. Greene called them to the lovely feast she had prepared, some one, a little more eager, than the others, stepped on poor "Kitty" and not know-whom to blame, of course he blamed the one who was "Innocent" and felt very happy. And the children had a "Goodtime." This is a Christmas sermon by your beloved sister, "Pit-a-Pat," from Luke 2:14. Subject: PEACE ON ELEPHANT GOODWILL YOUNG MEN. Hark! the herald Angel's sing Glory to the new born king Peace on earth and mercy mild God and sinner reconciled joy full all selections true from the transmittal of the sage Hark! the herald Angel's sing Glory to the new born king We are about to celebrate the birth of Christ. He who was, born 2007 years ago, in a humble manger in Bethlehem of Judea. I can see that glorious picture now. It was night, and as the shepherds watched their flock all seated in a row, "And Lo, the Angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them and they were so afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger. And suddenly there there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill toward men." I can imagine how the shepherds were a little frightened at the sight of the angels, but later they became more courageous, and were the first to behold Heaven's Christmas gift to earth, and then a little later, the wise men of the East came burdened down with rare gifts. They followed the star, and it reated over the stable. They did not seem at all fatigued, from their long journey, but they knelt down and worshipped the Infant Babie, and presented their gifts, this is where we get our Christmas giving from). "Peace on Earth"—It really seems impossible to day, when we see every nation of the world at war with each other, but it is not. Man has not fully established in his mind that wonderful message the Angel's sang nearly 2000 years ago. "Goodwill toward men"—If there is peace established in the world every man will treat each other with a good-will. "Love your neighbor as yourself," will abide into every heart. The kindness of Christmas is the kindness of Christ. To know that God so loved us as to give us His own son for our dearest brother, has brought human affection to its highest tide on the day of that brother's birth If God so loved us how can we help loving one another? Let us be exceedingly thankful, that we have lived to celebrate the birth of Christ. God still lives in the hearts of men to-day. We are left to do His bidding. Let peace prevail in the minds of every individual this coming year. I wish all of my darling sisters "A Merry, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year." This does not exclude our dear editor by any means. Newark, N. J. DEAR GIRLS: I trust this column is just trimming over with lepers this week. I wanted to send in a little Christmas story, but it was a bit too long. The title of it is "God's Gift On Xmas Morn." Here are a few lines of poetry that entitle the second chapter. No one saw the Shining eyes. No one heard the motherless orien. Each one happy each one gay. Walking the joys on Xmas day. No one heard the potter of little feet. A PARABLE (A Christmas Story by Willa Bolle Hayes—"Innocent—Jacksonville, Fla.) "Pit-a-Pat!" "Pit-a-Pat!" tapped the rain on the window through which the "Little Girl" was watching. Just a little while ago she had been so happy and "Gay" but now her "Bright Faces" were filled with tears and the little face that had been so full of "Smiles" and "Happiness" was now sad, for she knew that her birthday party would be spoiled. "Jinch," as we shall call her, sad been sure that the day would be beautiful and full of "Sunshine" that the rain was a sad blow to her. It killed her "Delight." "Now," she cried, "I just know that dear little "Wilhelmina," the "Laughter" and "Fun" of the crowd and "Lill" the dancing girl and "Fay" and "Sidges" all who lived so far away, could not come in the rain. She was not forked about "Laddie Boy" because she knew that he and "Billy Boy" and "Wes" would come if only to get some of those wonderful "Marshmattows" she had told them about. Drawing a big arm chair up to the window she sat to watch and soon fell asleep, with her little "Kitty" who had so soft and sympathetic "Gray Eyes" nestled in her arms. When Mrs. M. Greene came to tell her "Little Girl" that it had ceased raming, she did not have the courage to wake her. "Oh! you dear little "Brownie" have you come to my party," cried "Ethel," just as a "Tiny" little form with great ir "Brown Eyes" came up to her. "I heard you crying and came to help I heard you crying and came to help you said "Brownie." "Oh you did? you are just like the little 'Brownies' I read about in my third reader. Can you really help me?" "Yes, I am going to take you to my land and see what our queen says about it," she told her. "But I haven't the time. It is nearly five clock now." "We have five minutes. Get your child and hurry." "Oh, Brownie, are we really there all the way?" "But I look at those beautiful little rosebuds. May I take a 'Rosebud' home with me for Mother, Brownie?" "Be careful, little Miss. We are now in the midst of the Queens garden. There we have the little 'Forget-me-not' and here the beautiful 'Daisy' and in the fields the tall 'Alpha' and many others, the names of which I do not know." "Brownie, who tends so beautiful a garden?" "A little child, a servant of God— we call him, 'Kid Palmer.' we call him Kid Palmer. Oh! Oh! oh!—just like the Palmer in Ivanhoe," thought "Ethel." I believe I can find all of the good characters I have read in my books in this garden." "Oh what a beautiful flower. What is it called, 'Brownie?' "Beware of it Miss. It is the 'Lotus-Blossom,' he one evil of this garden." "But silence! this is the queen's court. We now stand before the queen. The Queen of 'Sheba' we call her because, except one, she has all power. We Brownies are her descendants and senants and slaves. Were it not for here we would never have known such as 'Happiness,' 'Sunshine,' Joy, etc. She gives us these companions and in return we are happy and try to make her happy most by shunning the 'Lotus-Blossom.' "The Lotus Blossom" is an evil? But why do you call it an evil?" "Because it is lazy and laziness is abhorred by our Queen," he told her. "And by another who has power even over our queen. We call him the Editor." "All our flowers are bright and beautiful, but sometimes they are caught in the snarches of the 'Lotus Blossom' and enchanted by her fragrance and luxury forget their duty and then the Editor, who has the power, threatens to take our land away from us. Even our most faithful, the servant of God, the Pita-a-Pat of the rain, is sometimes tachanted by the 'Lotus Blossom' and our seeds and flowers wither and die from the lack of its wonderful influence. "But enough the Queen summons," Brownie, you have with you one in distress?" "Your majesty, a 'Little Girl.'" "Your trouble, 'Little Girl.'" "I am to have a party. My friends but away and cannot come in the rain. Can you help me in any way?" asked Ethel. "Certainly, 'Kiddo,' "where are you?" Here! Take the golden chariot and with Charity and 'Love' go and see what is the trouble between the Rain and Sun." It shall be done in a second your Marry. "Kerry well, 'Kiddo,' and hurry back. What is 'Brownie?' "So you are back already, Kiddo?" The tremble, please? "The Rain and Sun had a quarrel. The Fawn said that the Sun had thrown hit her, or 'Sunshine' across the world long enough and that is now time for the people to hear his cheerful Pet-a-Pat some. But when I explained that by doing his duty he was hating others, he grew peeved and 'Charity' and he had to talk to him. He said he would get up this time. Then he called his servants." "News." "Your Majesty." "I want you to spread as fast as possible that 'Happiness' will meet his Little Girl' when she get home." We are nestled on her the busy stream Each one happy, each one gay. Waiting for the joys o Xmma day. Yes every one happy and gay. Waiting for the joys on Xmma day. But, out in the ice and the snow, Wandered a little Negro habe to and fro. Wishing you all much happiness for a Merry Christmas, "WILHRLMINA" In response to "Withelmina's" suggestion I am writing the following poem which I recently read: When God's beloved Son Came down to dwell with men, There was in Pethichem's little town No room for Jesus then; And in a manger bed He's comin back once more Coming, but not as then; Arrayed in glorious majesty, He's coming back to reign With songs and shouts of praise. The earth and heaven shall ring And wealth of worlds were cheap to win! One smile from Heaven's King Sometimes He still doth come Seeking our hearts to win, He gentily knocks, and waits and cries, "Do you may I enter in?" He loving heart is tame To win us, in disguise; Before His majesty shall burst Upon our wondering eyes. O, happy souls that hear And but Him enter in! He comes to bless and heal and save From all the curse of sin. And, oh, what joy some day To hear Him say to thee "Thou gavest Me a home on earth, Now thou shalt dwell with Me. The world is rushing on In mad frivolity With room and time for all besides, But none, O Lord, for Thee. And, bolder grown, we dare To call the world our own; Humanity is God, and God Is banished from His throne. Imperious Mammon claims All things on earth below, No heavenly stamp our crimes must bear No Christ our Christmas know. The songs our children sang Must find a tower key, And-Bethlehem's Babe no, place be given Upon their Christmas tree. O, God! the very heavens Must blush with wondering shame To see the shape that man bestows On Heaven's most honored name: How canst Thou love and bless! How canst Thou still forbear! While He who died to purchase us Has in our joy no share! Earth, have thy little day Oh, Christmasness on Sina! Soon shall thy stand at Heaven's gate And seek to enter in But from ther warder's stern I hear the answer given "For those who had no room for Christ There is no room in Heaven." I wish to extend hearty Christmas greetings to every member of the column. Sincerely. DEAR PALS I know you will be surprised to hear from an old timer. My sister, "Billy Boy," is writing this week, so I couldn't let her beat me to it. I know every one is very busy getting ready for Santa. I have a little secret to tell you: our president, "Butser," is to be engaged the beginning of the year. The Wonder Girls extend a hearty welcome to all new members of our column, also to the old ones. I am an humble pensioner Myself, for my daily bread; Shall I forget my brothers; Who seem in great need? I know not how it happened, That I have more than they, Unless God meant that; I should Give a larger spart away The humbest wayside beggar And I have wants the same Close side by side we walked When God called out one name So, brother, it but happened The name He called was mine The food was given for both Here, half of it is thine.

The Interdenominational Preachers' Meeting Plans Crusade Against Hootch The Inter-denominational Preacher: Meeting met at the First Einmanuel Church, 105 West 130th street, at 2 p.m. last Monday, Rev. W. C. Brown in the chair. The order of the day was given to Rev. M. W.-Thornton and Rev. C. Alleyne, both of whom spoke on "Recent Experiences in the South" These two ministers, as well as Rev. W. C. Brown, president of the Preacher's Meeting, are candidates for the bishopric in THE important aspect between the arrestee upon which he (Brown T. Washington) began and the present great angle, and consequential plan is politically willing to be enough for one man to bring about. But celebratory and encouraging as this is, it is but an important measure of Britain's strength and vitality. It is out of two or three hundred young men and women for their good to their families and their families is of course a most commendable and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he did and sought to do the purpose of which it was. The fact that the arrestee is living trust which must turn the basis of real advance for his rise, or for any rock—WILLIAM HOWARD TAPT, Chief Justice United States Supreme Court. The railroad world has recently been shocked by a most serious accident. Nine persons lost their lives and thirty-five others were seriously injured when two sections of the famous Twentieth Century Limited collided with each other. Of that fatal incident two features are most outstanding: the fallibility of a man and the heroism of a woman. The former was uglyfeetful of his duty, and the latter, amid the nerve-trying circumstances of the resultant disaster, rose nobly to the occasion. An analysis of the facts points to reckless carelessness as the prime cause of the accident, both on the part of the man who, in spite of the warnings that a train was approaching, drove his automobile upon the tracks, thereby stopping the first an second sections of the train, and also on the part of the unfortunate engineer of the third section who disregarded the caution signal and then discovered his mistake: too late to avoid the consequences. Carelessness and a railroad engineer cannot safely go in hand. In the course of our observation we have seldom found the two associated. It it were otherwise we would have train wrecks every hour of the day. It is said by the railroad officials that this, engineer disgarded all his signals. This is approximately true, but in our opinion what actually happened was that he paid no heed to the caution signal and so, when the danger signal flashed, his train was moving too rapidly for him to get it under control in time to escape the crash. While there is undoubtedly no valid excuse which can be offered for his action, especially when the results of it were so tragic, still a word should in justice be said about certain methods of train operation which made that wreck possible. It happens with almost unbroken regularity that when a caution signal flashes in one block the clear signal will show up in the next. This was the real cause of the undoing of the tuckle-less man in question. He was so certain that the clear signal would show up in the next block that he paid no need to the caution signal. The consequences should be a warning to other engineers who are in the habit of acting as he did. This is one of the things that passed the way for the accident to happen. Another is the mistake of the officials in running such heavy and speedy trains so closely together. A live or ten minute schedule apart is not a sufficient leeway for absolute safety nor even a minimum of safeguard against collisions. This fatality should warn railroad officials to discontinue the practice. There is nothing that we can add to the already abundant commendation which our heroine, Mrs. Washington, has received in the "public press throughout the country, except the assurance that the Pulitzer tradition is exceeded by proof of her. The tragic case of Renier Damell, despite triple victories in many trials and in outings of public service, has been an all standard of living trade him lauded and respected by all who came in contact with him. Two important lessons are to be learned from this disaster—Be cautious! Be ready! "For ye know not the hour." their respective churches, and have been visiting conferences in the South. At the close of their addresses a vote of thanks was given the speakers. The ministers are preparing for a great mass meeting at Bethel A. M. E Church on New Year's Day at 12 noon. Everything is in readiness except the final agreement of the Baptist Ministers' Meeting. They are awaiting the report of their members on the joint committee. The ministers are of one mind as to the need of a crusade against *choochi*. Sabathi descentation, unimpulsive landlords and indifferent police vigilance. They even hit a lot of church members who were indifferent to the evil of high death rates, low morals and general economic inefficiency. Rev. A. C. Garner is the chairman of the committee on ways and means and is urging the brethren to stay steady, united fight against the evils complained of. Theachers are note too anxious to engage in a fight against so powerful as the invisible liquor interests but some of the leaders are calling for a show down of sentiment. Real Gift for Children RADIO DEPARTMENT (Previous lessons may be bad by sending five cents for each lesson to the Radio Editor, New York Age, N. Y.) LESSON No. 9. The Radio Editor is indebted to Mr. Mr. Lester Hutter of the Browning Mail for the following information on a wonderful so called hook-up, which has taken many experimenters by storm. The readers of The Age should be very much interested in this particular lesson and endeavor to try and build the set. The Hook-Up. The triple honeycomb type of receiver is probably the most efficient type of tuner, known from the standpoint of sensitivity, selectivity and flexibility. Thousands of amateurs through the United States have adopted this type of tuner. So far as the broadcast listener is concerned the triple honeycomb set is not ideal, since it is very sensitive to body capacity, which we all know is a nuance. Again, the honeycomb type of tuner has another drawback it is rather difficult to adjust the honeycombs unless the operator is experienced. If a receiver could be made to possess all the advantages of the triple honeycomb type of tuner while being free from all its disadvantages it would be ideal. The receiver herein described most nearly approaches this ideal. The receiver, which is connected identically the same as the honeycomb tuner, is alike in every respect but one. Instead of using honeycomb coils a special coil is employed. This coil has the following advantages over the honeycomb coils. 1—There are less losses (as a solenoid winding is employed); 2—It is mounted behind the panel rather than in front—resulting in less hand capacity effects; 3—One tuning control is eliminated; 4—The cost of construction is considerably less. However, the honeycomb type of tuner possesses one advantage over the new type of tuner, viz., that it can cover a larger band of wave lengths more easily. Since this receiver is designed primarily for broadcasting reception, and not code, this apparent disadvantage does not play an important role at all. If the coil is constructed exactly as described it will have a wave length range, when used with the average antenna, of from about 250 meters to about 575 meters. In other words it covers the entire band of broadcast wave lengths now used. If one should decide to make the receiver he will find it necessary to purchase the following parts: 1 panel, 7101 200 1. detect time. 2. reset clock. 3. calibrate or calibrate time 4. reset clock. 5. reset clock. Necessary brass fitting for supporting the rotor Sundries, such as binding posts, etc. (Consulted in next issue) RADIO NEWS Medford Hillside, Mass.-Station WGI, American Radio and Research Corporation here, became a substitute church a few Sabbaths ago for Rev.

White Native of Sierra Leone, West Coast, Studied for Years Under Great Disadvantage, But Made Steady Progress Toward His Desired Goal—Now Studying at Damrosch's Institute (of Musical Art). Although he he has been in New York City for the past two years, and a student in composition at the Damrosch Institute of Musical Art for more than a year, it is only recently that I have had opportunity to become acquainted with a young man, a native, full-blooded African—who gives evidence of the most unusual musical talent and ability. His name is Nicholas G. Julius Ballanta Taylor, and he was born, March 14, 1898, in the village of Kisey, three miles southeast of Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Coast of Africa, a British dependency. Contrary to usual belief, however, Mr. Taylor is not the descendant of aboriginal barbarians. Under English protection, his family has for generations enjoyed the privileges of education offered in their community, and he numbers among his immediate progenitors, educated and well-equipped school teachers, ministers and a number of musicians. His father, a shipa engineer, was also a violinist and church organist, who, without becoming a professional musician, enjoyed considerable popularity as a local concert performer. An uncle, who died in 1913 at the age of 116 years, was directly responsible for transmittal of family traditions which inspired young Nicholas, and for the devotion and application to musical ideals which has brought the young African to his present stage of development. Ballanta-Taylor owes also, much of his musical heritage to his mother, descended from the Mermas a pagan tribe whose music is said to have the most characteristic rhythm and melody of all the West Coast tribes. His maternal grandfather was brought to Sierra Leone at an early age and baptized into the Christian faith. Because of the lack of opportunity during his early years, young Taylor had to pursue the study of music practically undirected in the beginning. As a boy chorister in the chapel at Kissy, Nicholas was taught the tonic wha fa syllables, and when 12 years of age he was sent to a Freetown school. Here he studied Clarke's Catechism of Music and took first prize in music theory at the Government School Exhibition for two years in succession. The third year he missed the prize by two points. The failure was due to an unavoidable late arrival for the examination. During the three years in high school, music became secondary in his studies, but he served as an assistant organist for St. Patrick's Chapel. Later, he studied the organ, but without the assistance of a teacher. Later, he took up the study of Stainer's Harmony. From school he went into the government service in the Legal Department of the Crown, alternating for a number of years between Sierra Leone and the Gambia, each transfer a promotion, being the only active African so recognized. During ten years in this service, Ballanta-Taylor had opportunity to do considerable studying of music. In 1913, he submitted an anthem to Novello and Compass for publication, but it, was returned for correction. Here the young composer was confronted with a problem. He didn't know how to correct his composition. A friend advised the study of a grammar of music. In his ignorance he took up Pearce's Student Counterpoint first, following it with Danstan's Elementary Harmony. Instead of reversing the studies, as he should have. However, in eighteen months he had reached counterpoint in four parts, then he took up in order, Vincent' Diatonic and Chromatic Harmony, Pronat's Harmony, Counterpoint and Form, and Bridge's Double Counterpoint and Canon. In 1917, Ballanta-Taylor, feeling himself qualified, applied for and passed the first examination for the degree of bachelor of music as Forrah Bay College, Freetown, an institution affiliated with the University of Durham in England. Unfortunately it was not possible for Mr. Taylor to take his finals for the degree, which is required to be taken at Durham College. Ballantia-Taylor became acquainted at Freetown in 1917 with Mrs. Adelaide Caseley-Hayford, who is well known in America, and was associated with her in the formation of a choral society of which he became director. She became interested in young Taylor and tried to arrange for the completion of his musical education in England. Red tape and official objections prevented this plan being carried out. Taylor had written a choir composition, "Belshazzar's Feast," produced in Sierra Leone in 1919, and the same official who had previously made objection, was so pleased with the production that he volunteered to do what he could to have the native composer sent to England to complete his education. In the meantime, however, Mrs. Caseley-Hayford, leaving Sierra Leone for a visit to America, brought with her a copy of "Belshazzar's Feast," which she submitted to some of the best qualified musical experts of New York City. As a result, through the advice of friends, included among whom was the late Mrs. Natalie Curtis Burlin, a distinguished authority on flk music, Mrs. Caseley-Hayford provided the means and brought Taylor to America, the young man reaching here in June, 1921. With Mrs. Hayford, he presented pageants of African life in Boston and Philadelphia, and an article on African music, written by him, was published in the Musical Courier, issue of June 1, 1922. This article brought him into contact with Dr. Walter Damrosch, who sent the African composer to his brother, Dr. Frank Damrosch, head of the Institute of Musical Art. The student, was able to meet the rigid requirements of that institution and was accepted as a student in theory and composition under Dr. Goehrchius. Here for the past year he has been pursuing his studies, having before him the aim and intention to carry to his African people an opportunity for systematic musical development, longed for but not yet possible, of attainment by them. Several original mms. submitted to me by Mr. Taylor, give evidence of an exceptional talent. They show originality, imagination and a faithful adherence to the structural form which differed from Negro music from that produced by the Caucasian. Ballanta-Taylor proves to the credulous and the doubters that a full flooded African can acquire culture and polish and at the same time retain that vivid and striking personality which causes him to stand out as representative of a social development which the prejudiced wily is impossible. There are those among the American musicians, of the Caucasian race, having a knowledge of the work of Ballanta-Taylor, who say that he has a greater fund of native talent than was possessed by the late Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the great Anglo-African musician and composer who made the world sit up and take notice with his wonderful trilogy, "Hijawatha," which was followed by "The Atomement," "The Blance," and scores of other productions for the voice, for orchestra, and for string and lead voices. Ballentz Taylor has a quartet for strings which was played at the Institute for Musical Art; there are compositions for the violin, the cello, songs/box solo voices, and an intriguingly interesting setting of the Kyrie Eleison for mixed chorus and three solo voices. There I have carefully examined and their merit impels us to write the prediction that Ballentz Taylor will ever be recognized as entitled to a place of honor should the music of all ages. Practically, he is modest and unsuccessful; having not given to throubles himself no notice, but at the same time carrying himself with quiet assurance as if confident of his countryside, he assumed that the world will ultimately recognize the fact. I am however, and will be possible for many people of both classes to have an opportunity of experiencing upon the fundamental principles of African music, doctrines and practices, which is widely, intently compelling.

PHILHARMONIC Following upon the wonderful success of Roland Hayes with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, repeated with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra on Sunday, December 9, comes the gratifying information that Miss Marian Anderson, contralto, of Philadelphia, has been engaged as soloist with the great Philadelphia Philharmonic Society, Josef Pasternach, conductor. Miss Anderson has gained a high place for herself in the musical retime and deserves all the honor she has won. Miss Anderson, who is a pupil of Giuseppe Boghetti, appeared for her first recital with the Philharmonic Society on Sunday, December 10. This important organization, in engaging Miss Anderson, fulfilled a promise made some time ago to give young Philadelphia artists an opportunity to appear under important austries. Miss Anderson was chosen as the vocal artist most worthy of the honor this season. She appeared as a co-star with Miceryslaw Munz, the celebrated Polish pianist. ROLAND HAYES SANG WITH THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, DETROIT Following his triumphs with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and his capturing of the concert-going people of Boston, New York, and other centers in his individual recital, Roland Hayes appeared in Detroit, Mich., on Sunday evening, December 9, with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and again scored a triumphous success. Detroit papers state that Orchestra Hall auditorium was not large enough to accommodate the thousands who wanted to hear him, and that hundreds were turned away. An unpleasant development in connection with the Detroit trip did not affect Mr. Hayes personally, but it indicates a surprising condition in that city which is dominated so thoroughly by Henry Ford, whose anti-Semitic feeling leads one to wonder if he is either actively or passively in sympathy with the infamous Ku Klux Klan. At any rate, the business management of the Detroit Symphonys Orchestra, when arranging for Mr. Hayes' accommodation, in that city, was informed by the management of three hotels, the Salter, the Wolverine and the Fort Shelby, that the Negro singer could not be cared for in their hostelries. Of course the management provided ample and satisfactory accommodation for Mr. Hayes, but the attitude of Michigan hotel keepers proved to be surprising even to the citizens of Detroit, who wonder at this exhibition of race prejudice. Mr. Hayes is at Town Hall, New York City, on January 3, for his second recital in this city. Notwithstanding the rain and wind which arise in the early evening, of Thursday, December 13, 13, a fair-sided audience greeted C. Carroll Clark, baritone, and Edwin Conte, pianist, who appeared in a joint recital at St. James RUDOLPH GRANT ORGANIST—CHOIRMASTER PRESENTS THE SALEM CHOIR In Handel's Ontario THE MESSIAN Sunday Evening, December 23rd At Nathan's At the SALEM CHOIR In R. A. Williams, Plymouth WILSON LAMB VOCAL STUDIO 1923 SPORTS REVIEW The year now closing has been in many respects the most successful for athletics in general of any history. All branches of sport have fared better the past year than at any time since the war, and the general interest has caused new records to be established for attendance at many sport events. There have been few new records established during the year, although the general average of performance has been high. Among the new title holders of the year, the Negro race has its share. One of the few new records to be established was by DeHart Hubbard of the University of Michigan, who set a new collegiate record of 25 feet 2 inches in the running brand jump. Phil Granville, a Canadian Negro, is now the seven-mile walk champion, a branch owl sport that never previously had a colored champion, and Sam Lamford, the veteran Negro pupil, became heavyweight champion of Mexico, as the climax of a ring career of twenty years. Although Dempsey has continued to dodge Wills, the Negro prizefighters have made more progress than their brothers in other branches of sport during the year. A reaction has begun in favor of the Negro fighter. This may be indicated by the belated recognition given Jack Johnson by a noted sport authority, Jimmy DeForest, who recently declared that the former heavyweight champion was the greatest defensive fighter in history and was in many respects a superman physically. There has been no colored professional champion, but Homer Robinson is the amateur middleweight champion of the country and the colored boxer is now in big demand in New York. invented a device which gave the camera stability, freeing the film from the flickering and unsteadiness which usually mark airplane photography. At times the two during aviators swiped his within seventy-five feet or a hundred feet of the ocean, enabling the camerapan to record upon his film the vivid and tense action of the submarine below. Freshbyterian Church, West 13th street Miss Beatrice Lewis of Washington, who is spoken of as a promising young musician, was at the piano for Mr. Clark, who sang a diversified program. His first group was made of settings by Negro composers—"The trees have grown so" (Burleigh); "Mah Lindy Lou" (Strickland); "Sit Down" (Roland Hayes), and "Ohl didn't it ruin" (Burleigh). The second group compri- died "The song of the Volga boastman" (Chalapine); "Hindo Song" (Bimberg), "Still we dee nacht" (Bohm), and "Wherever you walk" from "Semele" (Handel). His final number was the Pagliacci Prologue, "Si poo?" (Leoncavallo). AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE (1) Mr. Conte played the Chopin Phantasie in F mirror; a Debtuary group, "Doctor Grandes ad Parmasum," "Minstrels," "Reflects dans Teau," and the Prehade in A minor; and a Last group, "Dance of the Goomet," "Liebestraume" and "La Campanella." C. C. White in Atlanta. Clarence Cameron White, violinist, now quickly criticizing at Oberlin, where his young son is attending school, gave a recital program at Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga., on Wednesday evening, December 5. He played a program on which were represented Vivienstemp, Palmgren, Cui, Joon, Kreisler, Wagner-Wilhelmj, concluding with a group of his own compositions. Mr. White is devoting most of his time now to composing. XMAS MUSIC AT MT. CALVARY A special program of Christmas music will be rendered Sunday, December 23, at both services. 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. at Mount Calvary Industrial Methodist Church, 165 West 131st street, under direction of Sidney Woodward, chorister. The sermon will be preached by Rev. D. J. X. C. Coggins of Washington, D. C. at the Lafayette for the week of December 24. This show has been well received where ever shown, and has a number of new song hits. Among the songs are: "My Gal With the Polka Dot Hose," "Boo Boo Blues," "Brown Sugar," "I Love Every Bit of My Sweatie," "Tenement Moon," "Heart of Georgia," and others. AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE It is staged by Frank Montgomery, and includes a cast of well known performers, beaded by "Slim" Henderson. What many men consider the most striking pictures ever "shot" from an airplane will be seen in an important sequence of "The Eleventh Hour," giant super-special made by William Fox from Lincoln J. Carter's Melodrama. The picture will be shown at the Lincoln theatre today. "The camera was in the hands of Don Short, to whom the wonderful photoplay of "The Eleventh Hour" must be credited. Usually airplane "shots" are made from heights which render move or less indistinct the objects below, but for the Fox thriller machines were flown so close to the surface of the water that even the faces of men on board the submarines are recognizable.

BUY YOUR TICKETS EARLY Recognition from a new angle was given the Negro prize fighter, when Fred White was appointed a member of the Pennsylvania Athletic Committee although that Commission has since barred mixed bouts. One of the most esteating bouts of the year, which drew 12,000 people, was the Kid Norfolk Basket Siki fight. Many of the most promising young fighters in the ring today colored. Larry Estridge, formerly amateur middleweight champion, has declared by some to be the "wonder man" of the ring. Ansel Bell, Jack McVilbure Cohen, Bobby Risdon and Jack Taylor are all promising fighters. In football the race was represented by Charles West, at Washington Jefferson, Charles Drew at Amherst, W. E. Jackson at Columbia, Joe Washburn and New York University and several other colored players on teams in the West Jack Trice of the University of Iowa was one of the few players who gave life to the game. The games between the various colored schools crowds this season, and the crowd of twenty thousand who witnessed the Lincoln game, was the largest in the history of the sport. Neither University nor Virginia Union University was defeated, but personally I think Howard has the better of the two teams. I would rank the other carriers as follows: Hampton, Lincoln, West Virginia and St. Paul. In another paper, B. T. Harvey, coach of Morehouse College, gives a review of football season in the South. It might be noted here that the physical director and coaches of the teams are taking a greater interest in athletics outside their schools. Charles Williams of Hampton represented the colored Intercollegiate Athlete Association at the meeting of the National Collegiate Association early in the year and later selected to represent the race on the Olympic Committee. Professional baseball made big strides in the East during the year. For the first time in history the teams got together in a league, and the race proved interesting and close throughout the season. Hilldahl had the best team, but given a hard fight by both the Cuban Star and Bathench Giants. Next year the League will have eight clubs instead of six as last. In local athletic circles, basketball proved to be one of the major sports. Although much time and money has been expended in building up amateur clubs, the professional craze which is now sweeping Harlem, has for all practical purposes swept these clubs out of existence. Practically all of the basketball teams are now playing professional basketball, with the Commonwealth team as the leader. Tennis was not so popular in the East this year and few new players were out. E. G. Brown won the New York State title and successfully defended his national title. Several foreign athletes came over and proved popular with the public although none of them were the equal of our own athletes. H. V. Edward, the English sprint champion, is now living in America, but since his appearance at the Wilco games, has attracted little attention. Battling Sifak, the most colorful fighter in the ring today is undoubtedly courageous, but has not the skill of most American fighters. Nafatti, a French bicycle rider, also proved popular in the recent six day bicycle race. Among other individuals whose achievements attracted attention during the year was Joe Jeanette, who was licensed as an official referee by the New York State Boxing Commission and later suspended for refereeing a fight, in which the fighters had been debarred, and Emmet Parker, who was appointed trainer of the New York Giants to succeed the late Mackal.

JIM & BOB SLATER CLAY, END Alabama University Football Eleven in fundamentals, however, all of the team collected from costly fumbles and trains to hold the ball on forward passes and when tackled in the open field, the question of champion (will be the cause of much debates, as four teams can boast of only one defeat, Morehouse, Fisk, Atlanta University and Tuskegee. Morehouse won 6 games and was defeated 6-0, by Fisk University. Fisk won three games an lost to Atlanta University, 18-0. Atlanta won 9 games, tied Tuskegee and lost to Morris Brown, 7-0, after Morris Brown had been defeated by Tallahasga and Morehouse. Tuskegee won an game, tied Atlanta, University and lost to Morehouse, 0-0. Pick the winner as you will. Atlanta University was the best defensive team. Morsehouse showed the best offensive and variety of attack, and with less fumbling would have, nushed the season with a clean slate, as every score can be traced directly to an unfortunate fumble. Morris Brown had the best backfield shift and Talladega the best line shift play. Tuskegee win Stevenson showed the team with the best ground gainer from kick formation. Alabama State Normal showed advantage because of injuries and wonderful improvement and will bear watching by all in 1924. Tennessee State did not show to advantage because of injuries and physical condition of their coach. The following selection of men has not been made from press reports but from actual observation of player putted against each other in their respective positions. I have already seen one All-American Team with a man or it who did not get in but no games this year. Only one man named has not been seen in action this year and I have decided on him by a process of elimination and observation of coaches of teams who have met him this season. Allow me to say a word before naming the teams this year, concerning men whom I have chosen in other years and are still playing. I am thinking specially of Lock, Atlanta University, Gayles, Morehouse, Long, Fisk; Boss, Tuskegee; and others. I wish to commend them for their valiant attempts to stem the onrushing tide of youth in their respective positions. They have done well, but the old order changeth, giving place, to the new.

THE MADISON SQUARE WHIRLWinds, formerly the Italian Catholic Club, went down in defeat at Commonwealth Casino on Sunday night, December 16, before the strong Commonwealth Big Five. The game was one of the fastest that has been played this season and was witnessed by the largest crowd. Fat Jenkins was at his best and the local team held a ten-point lead throughout the first half. The Whirlwinds fought valiantly during the second half to overtake their opponents, but the superior jumping of Grant at center, and guarding by Hubbard and Jenkins, prevented them. Lindbloom the Whirlwinds center, was not only outjumped but was also prevented from scoring by Grant. The lineup and summary was as follows: Commonwealth Madison Square Final R.F. Dave Cohen Noles L.F. Henry Cohen Grant C Lindbloom Hubbard R.G. Herbert Cohen Jenkins L.G. McNew Field goals—Commonwealth; Jenkins 4, Grant 2, Fial 2; Madison Square: Dave Cohen 2, Henry Cohen 2, and Herbert Cohen 2; foul goals—Commonwealth: Jenkins 4, Fial 3, Grant 2, and Noles 1; Madison Square: Henry Cohen 3, Herbert Cohen 2 and McKew 2. ESTRIDGE SCORES K. O. OVER BROTON BOXER IN EIGHTH Larry Estridge, the former amateur middleweight champion, added another knockout victory to his list at the Commonwealth Club on December 15, when he stopped George West of England in the eighth round of a scheduled 12-round contest. West's records bound in the towel to save their man from further punishment after he had been floored twice. In the first three rounds of the fight both men appeared about even, but Larry had things his own way after that. West weighted 155 pounds and Estridge was a half pound heavier. CHRISTMAS FIND IS SPILL, MONSTERARY AS RESULT OF DOUTS Although Harry Wills and Panama Joe Gans appeared on the boxing program for charity, at the Commonwealth Club on Wednesday night, December 12, only about a thousand people turned out for the occasion. The gross receipts amounted to $1,400, and after paying the fighters for their services, $240 was turned over to the committee by the McMahon brothers, managers of the club, who gave the use of the hall free. Wills also donated his service and the only expense was the payment of the other honors for their service. The committee, under whose auspices the affair was given, proved very slow in pushing the affair, and only $15 worth of tickets are said to have been sold by them. Prominent on this committee were: Mrs. Lucille Randolph, former Alderman Harris, Gulfford Crawford and James M. Green. PUPILS' HONOR ROLL OF P.

NATIONAL COM. REBORDS ITS ACTION. (Stamped from First Page) stead of two, as in few districts in the South were as many as 10,000 votes, the required number, cast for any Republican candidate. Harding Favored Reduction. It was believed that this action was taken at behest of the Administration, as both the late President Harding and President Coolidge were said to be in favor of placing the nominating power in the states casting regularly a Republican majority. As a master of fact, President Harding, in an audience given a representative of The Age, declared himself as favoring a rule which would apply to all alike, white and black, and which would eliminate criticism of the method of nominating Presidential candidates. He declared that there must be no discriminatory action which would operate against the Negro especially. It is suggested by observers of the political situation that reversing the reduction legislation is due to the large influx of Negro voters into pivotal states of the North and West. The defeat of several leading Republicans, including Beveridge of Indiana and DuPont of Delaware, was frankly attributed by party leaders to the defection of dissatisfied Negro voters. The Ohio result Carini Thompson, Republican, losing the gubernatorial race, was laid to the same cause. In June, 1921, the National Committee cut down the number of delegates from southern states by thirty-nine. This meant the almost absolute elimination of the Negro delegate, as Mississippi and South Carolina, for instance, were reduced from eleven each to four delegates from each state. White Men at Faulk This action, taken three months after President Harding was inaugurated, was believed to be the direct result of Harding's reputed declaration that he was going to have "My Administration characterized by the ceding of this southern delegate scandal." As a master of fact, well-informed men deploy that this "so-called" "southern delegate scandal" was more the fault of white men than of the Negroes against whom it was laid. The southern white delegates were as numerus as the colored, and were even more culpable in the activity of lining up with as many candidates as were willing to pay the price for their support, the last one paying, as a rule, being the one who actually got their support. It was with reference to this condition that President Coolidge declared there must be no discrimination against the Negro and that he would not endorse whiteism in any shape or form. The Republican National Committee, composed of the same men who took the 1921 action, restores the southern delegation to its original status, and as a concession to states of the North and West, it was decided also to add one delegate at large to each state that cast a majority for Harding in 1920. This gives an additional thirty-seven to the thirty-nine which are restored to the southern states. The southern states profiting are Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi.

Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia is the only Negro member of the Committee, and he is not quietly by whitewordfulness held earlier North Carolina, widow of a prominent attorney and business man, and associate member of the National Committee from that state, and Joseph W. Tollert, National Committee from South Carolina, made aggressive fights for the reciting action. Senator George Wharton Pepper of Pennsylvania led the fight for restoring the number of southern delegates, assisted by Senator James H. Weslom of Indiana. A number of colored man and women occupied seats in the room, and exhibited intense interest in the proceedings. In closing her speech, Mrs. Patterson declared: "We have a chance for the first time to build a real Republican party in the South, and we women are going to help. Remember what we face, and the worst thing in the world to face is prejudice. Don't make it too hard for us." The unprecedented migration of the Negro to doubtful states in the North and West during the past two years is believed to have had a tremendous influence in bringing about this change of temper on part of the National Committee. The increased Negro vote in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri is of such importance as to ensure the race vote a consideration not hitherto given it, is the expressed opinion of observers of the political game. Senator Howell made a bitter attack upon the Committee's action, charging that the action evidenced a tendency to return to the "pocket borough system" developed in the past "because of the conditions existing in the southern states," in short, "said he, "the National Committee has taken a decidedly backward step in the matter of representation in the National Convention." The 1924 Apportionment The 1920 convention was composed of 984 delegates. Under the revised action of the National Committee, the 1924 Convention will consist of 1,109 delegates, the states being represented as follows: Alabama 16, Arinora 9, Arkansas 14, California 29, Colorado 15, Connecticut 17, Delaware 9, Florida 10, Georgia 18, Idaho 11, Illinois 61, Indiana 33, Iowa 29, Kansas 23, Kentucky 27, Louisiana 13, Maine 15, Maryland 19, Massachusetts 39, Michigan 33, Minnesota 27, Mississippi 12, Missouri 39, Montana 11, Nebraska 19, Nevada 9, New Hampshire 11, New Jersey 31, New Mexico 9, New York 91, North Carolina 22, North Dakota 13, Ohio 51, Oklahoma 2, Oregon 13, Pennsylvania 79, Rhode Island 13, South Carolina 11, South Dakota 13, Tennessee 27, Texas 23, Utah 11, Vermont 11, Virginia 19, Washington 17, West Virginia 19, Wisconsin 29, Wyoming 1, Alaska 2, District of Columbia 2, Hawaii 2, Philippines 2, Porto Rio 2. Milholland Writes Letter. One of the strongest documents submitted to the National Committee was from the pen of John E. Miholland, formerly Eastern Secretary of the Republican National Committee, and a national figure in matters political and civic, especially with regard to justice for the Negro, calling specific attention to political changes occurring since Harding's election to the Presidency. Declaring that the Republican party should be continued in power, as the most "fit agency to protect and develop the United States and to rehabilitate a wrecked civilization," Mr. Miholland declared that he had never seen "prospects more uncertain or more unsatisfactory." The proposed action of cutting down southern representation, which would oblige and bilionen had begun in thousands of loyal Negro voters, in that by the stimulating prescriptions, in that by the unanimous surrender to the prosecution and "Wilmington" placeing a victory, and that the franchising laws of the southern states. Mr. Milhannil cited recent election results in New York City when the Democrat elected a Negro to the State Assembly and another to the Board of Aldermen, both in strong Republican districts, as evidence of the effect the publican policy was having upon the race vote. After declaring that the Negro gave vote had given the Republican party every victory it had won since the Civil War, save in the instance of Roosevelt's overwhelming victory and Harding's unrestricted majority, Mr. Milhannil said that since Harding's election the situation had changed materially. Neglect of Negro Contly. Then he recapitulated recent election results, showing that the defeats of former Senator Frelinghuysen in New Jersey, Congressman Leyton and Senator DuPont in Delaware, the overthrow of the Republican party in Chicago, the revolution in New York City, the secession of Martin Madden's black support in Illinois, and the unsettled condition in Connecticut, and other close states, are to be attributed to the subject shown the Negro by the Republican party. The pertinent question was asked by Mr. Milibollard: How can the Negro vote be kept loyal when the "most hand element of the Republican party the Lily Whites of the South, are represented not merely in the Southern states, but through their recognized leader in the White House, for ex-Congressman Bassom Slemp of Virginia is not merely the private secretary of the President, but his confidential potent adviser, so powerful that he could override Cabinet officers and veteran Republican leaders." The lily white is a democrat in face, if not in form, said Mr. Milibollard, and "you might just as well attempt to row up Niagara in a wash-tub as to cram down the throats of the intelligent Negro voters, a candidate sponsored by lily whites who pretend to hold Republican meetings and conventions in hotels and cities where Negroes are absolutely barred." Concluding, he wrote: "You are actually debating today whether you will still fight outrage the rights of colored voters; rights to which they are, as President Coolidge said the other day in his message, entitled as any member of the Republican National Committee. They will not follow the Republican party in blind faith as their fathers have done and if they are going to get anything out of the South they realize that they must do it through their own efforts.

With Dewey at Manila and Single - Handed Cleared Harbor of Mines—Made Chief Gunner's Mate. Washington, D. C.-John C. Jordan, who retired from the United States Navy after twenty-nine years as chief gunner's mate, the highest rank possible for a colored man to reach, died here and was buried on Friday, December 14, from the residence of his brother, Thos. W. Jordan, U. S. Army, retired, at 761 Gorard street, Northwest. Born in Washington in 1871, young Jordan entered the naval service in 1877, in his 16th year, as an apprentice. His service was of such merit that he was finally sent to the U. S. Gunnery School at the Washington Navy Yard for instruction in gunnery practice, and he graduated near the top of his class. Sent to the torpedo station at Newport, R. I., he received detailed instruction in torpedo work and deep sea diving. Each enlistment period was marked by an honorable discharge, and steady promotion. In 1895, he was made a gunner's mate, second class, and assigned to the battleship Olympic, under the late Admiral George Dewey. On this ship, at Manila, Philippine Islands, in 1898, young Jordan took part in the mobbardment of Manila. During this engagement he was sent on a particular hazardous expedition, that of destroying the dangerous mines planted by Spanish ships in the Manila harbor. He made the attempt single-handed and achieved conspicuous success. As a result of this exploit, he was advanced to the rank of chief gunner's mate, the highest rank available to a coed man in the U.S. Navy, and this he retained until his retirement on December 1, 1916. Jordan saw service on many ships, including the Dale, Jamestown, New Hampshire, Saratoga, Minnesota, Kearnsarge, Tallapoosa, Richmond, Vermont, Monterey; Franklin, Independence and Olympia. A detail of blue jackets served as escort at the funeral and fired the final salute over the grave. A detail of cadets from the Armstrong Manual Training School was present by order of Principal Newman. Interment was in the National Cemetery at Arlington. guerite Daniels and Miss Hazel Fields, the two secretaries.

Lloyd, pastor of the Pentecostal Mission, delivered a wonderful address at her church on Sunday evening, December 10, to a well filled edifice, as usual.

Mrs. Terrell received a permanent injury to her knee. Influential in Bringing About Change of Policy As to Reduction of Representation. Washington, D. C.—Dr. Geo E. Cannon of Jersey City, president of the National Colored Republican Conference, played a prominent part inducing the National Republican Committee to change its plan to reduce representation from the South at the National Republican Convention to be held at Cleveland, next June. Speaking before the full committee Dr. Cannon frankly told the committeemen the Negro voters did not intend to stand any longer for the sins of the G. O. P. toward them, saying among other things: "The action of the Republican National Committee in cutting colored Republican representation in the National Convention, without asking Congress to correspondingly cut down representation in Congress, has been viewed by colored Republicans as an endorsement of the disfranchising laws of the South. "We feel that there has been a growing tendency in our party to eliminate our voice and vote in the councils of the national party. This has been borne out by gradual reduction of our representation in the National Committee to one lone member, and even an effort was made to oust him at the last convention "We deplore the policy of the Republican party not to appoint colored Republicans to office in the South, and few, for that matter, anywhere, and interpret it to mean that our own party is willing to foist upon us the proscription meted out to us by our relentless political enemies the Southern Democrats. "The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and we commend the attitude of the party towards the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, but we are mindful of the gross violation of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments for the past fifty years, and we call upon the Republican party to stand for the enforcement of the Constitution in its entirety." When Dr. Cannon, Walter I. Colten, and other Neemers arrived the day previous before the Sub-Committee, they were told *was useless* to discuss the subject as they could not change their minds; but when it was found that the Negroes of the North and South were united, the buck was passed to the full committee next day. branch library is that it has opened the door through which the colored girl has been enabled to enter the library service. When Miss Rose came to Harlem, one of the first things she did was to secure permission to add race assistants to her staff. Two were put on in 1920* and others at various times since then, so that at present there are five assistants on the 155th street branch staff, and another, Mrs. Nellie Imes, who went from this branch to the New York Public Library School in 1922, is now a regular assistant librarian in the children's room at the Seward Park Branch, 192 East Broadway. The transfer of another colored assistant to one of the other city branches is under contemplation, and this will open a way into the library system for other colored girls. An instructive lesson is to be gained from a study of the system through which the library functions in its service to the community. To the casual observer it is simply a question of signing a blank, getting a card, finding a book, having the card stamped, taking the book home and reading it and then returning it, repeating the latter part of the process with each book taken out. But the ordinary routine of the establishment is lots more complicated than that. It is only that the assistants are so well trained and the machinery is so well oiled that the service is given with a minimum of friction and a maximum of efficiency. To cater to the particular needs of a community is one of the outstanding tasks facing a branch librarian, and to supply the library with books which appeal to the local group requires a sympathetic and comprehending study of the reading mass. Details of the Routine. Each assistant, while thoroughly trained, perhaps, in all the minutia of library detail, is assigned a specific and definite part of the routine work. The application form is furnished by the assistant, which, when properly filled out and signed, is the basis upon which a card is granted to any student of New York City who can furnish a proper reference. This application is properly filed and in due time, from two days to a week, according to the locality, the prospective library-patient is not required always by mail, that the card is ready to be issued. These cards are not limited to the branch from which it is secured, but can be used to borrow books at the main library, 42nd street, or at any of the branches in Manhattan, the Bronx or Richmond Borough. In this connection, it is declared by Miss Rose that although 532 persons joined the 135th street branch during October as readers, the proportion of readers in the neighborhood is far below the number it should be. During this same month, there were circulated 12,300 books. Most of the books are 14 day books, that is, they may be kept by the reader for a period of two weeks. But even this liberal period of usage does not always avail. One of the most prolific sources of work for the librarians is due to the keeping of books beyond the allotted time by the borrowers. In these cases, postal card notices are first sent. If thesthet to bring a return, a letter is sent, and in case this fails, then a messenger is pressed into service. The result of this neglect on part of the readers is that in course of a month the library sells out 500 postals, 300 letters, and messengers make eighty was its in recovering books. Even with this effort, 355 books were lost during 1922 and this was a reduction over previous years. A Ditagreeable Feature There is a disagreeable feature connected with this phase of the work that is not always considered by the borrower. Many books of great general interest and value, kept out by an individual or an extended period, are kept from the service of others equally interested. Readers who desire to read some book on shelves of the branch library from which they have a card can take advantage of the reserve system, which brings to them the use of any book in any other library in the three Boroughs, the only fee being two cents postage. During, October, the average reserve requests totalled twenty each day. New books received must first be catalogued, shelf-listed and then prepared for use on the shelves through cross references, subject headings, and analysis, before becoming available to the public. Then when the book, as is inevitable, becomes worn out it is discarded and all these records must be removed. A fine is put on readers who keep books overtime and every month a detailed report must be made up, showing statistically the number of books circulated, number in the branch and fines collected. Each assistant, in addition to other duties, gives two to five hours of personal attendance upon the patrons, either at the desk, taking in and giving out books, or in the reference room, assisting in looking up reference questions, etc. Current magazines, reference books, including maps and dictionary, and a pamphlet file of current material is always available in the reference room, which was used during October by 1,932 people. The Children's Room. Separate provision is made for the children of the community. The school child, especially, is looked after, and research and lecture facilities afford valuable tuty facilities. Thirty public and seven parochial school classes visited the branch during November, with a total of 1,436 children. One public school alone reports 721 children as members of the library. A special children's lib- rarian in charge and the room is open from 12 to 1 and 3 to 6 daily, and on Saturdays from 9 to 6 p.m. There is maintained a girls' reading club, and many story hours are held, to some which parents are invited. Such an is announced for parents and children in the Christmas Story Hour day, December 21, at 8 p.m. A Community Service While it is entirely apart from its library activity and has been in the regular work of the institute yet it has developed that the 135th branch devotes much time to community service. Members of the staff, particularly Mrs. Sadie M. Peterson, have an unselfless of their energy and used personal time to make the library of value as an aid in communities we work. In this connection, there is conducted a Forum for discussion of public affairs, the first meeting for the season being held Thursday evening, December 20, with James Weldon Johnson as the speaker. An annual art exhibition showing work of Negro artists is under way this month book evenings are held, and a "Little Theatre" is in progress of formation. This gratious service is realized that the people of the community may become advised and acquainted with the library offers for development and betterment, making for a fuller enjoyment of life. Miss Rose, the librarian in charge, has a splendid staff of assistants. The only assisted is Miss Marion P. Watson, the children's librarian is Miss Hope M. Green; the other assistants are Miss Eliza B. Marquess, Mrs. Catherine N. Latimer, Miss Virgina Powell, Mrs. Regina M. Anderson, Mrs. Sadie M. Peterson and Miss Pura Belpre. The last five named are colored. Mrs. Latimer, who is a Brooklyn girl, had previous experience at Howard and Trinkeger; Miss Powell took a library training course in Pittsburgh, and Miss Anderson had previous service in the Chicago Public Library, after passing the civil service test. Miss Belpre is from Porto Rico and is of special service to students of Spanish and French literature. Mrs. Peterson has been a member of the staff since 2920, and has given much of her personal time and effort to bringing the library service to the people of the community. There is not a part of the duty attaching to a library assistant, but is entirely voluntary and does not apply on the efficiency record. It has been announced that Mrs. Peterson has been granted a six months' leave of absence for the purpose of establishing a library at the 41, S. Veterans' Hospital. No. 91, Tuskegee. Ala., and she leaves January 1 for that post of duty. Mme. EMMA L.

He said in part, "It is hard to sit and help that we review that history of the Coming of Christ as we approach the Christmas tide. One might ask 'Why did God not send His Son sooner in face of the air and wickedness of the world?' Answer 'Time not ripe.' First we want to not obey the Law as contained in the Old Testament Scriptures pointed and prepared men for the coming of Christ. 'It was our schoolmaster which brought us to His coming. By the law came the knowledge of sin. Men in their primitive state would not have known duty and relation to their fellow-man without the law. What would they have known of the One ad Only True Living God and His mission into the world? It served as a great wall to keep them separate from the surrounding heathen nations. "The Sabbath, marriage, sacricles, the distinction of clean and unclean, the shedding of blood for the blood, th circumcision, the penalty for formation and other requirements prepared them for a more complete revelation in the Coming of Christ. The Ten Commandments added moral tone to all other laws. "Thefulness of time—when all the prophecies in the Old Testament centered upon Jesus Christ, when a trial had been given to all other schemes of life, when art, education, culture and civilization had done all that they could, it was a time of peace. War had ceased for a period, and the people were thinking upon higher things." "The historian, Schaff, tells us That the way for Christianity was prepared by the Jewish religion, by Grecian culture, by Roman conquest, by the vainly attempted amalgation of Jewish and heathen thought, by the exposed importance of fathal civilization; philosophy, art, political power, by the decay of old religions, by the universal distraction and hopeless misery of the age, and by the yearning souls after the unknown God." Among the visitors were Bishop L. W. Kyles of Winston-Salem, N. C., and Dr. W. H. Goler of Salisbury, N. C., who at the close of the sermon, spoke encouragement on the work and progress of the church during the pastorate of Dr. Brown. At 2 o'clock, the Sunday-school convened.

Church At the eleven o'clock services last Sunday morning the pastor preached "Without God In The World." Eph. 2:12. The feature outline of this sermon was "The false evidences of the presence of God operated with the true evidences of the presence of God." In the evening, the pastor again preached, subject, "The voice of fruit," Matthew 7:30. Three persons, joined church. "The Sunday-school Teachers' Training School opened Wednesday night.

At the eleven o'clock services on Sunday, Pastor Bolden preached to the many assembled. His text was, "But these are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name." St. John 20:31 Pastor Bolden said: This verse is the key to the 4th gospel by St. John. He had a purpose for writing this letter, and particularly this verse. The word purpose defined means motive, reason. The Christian people of today should govern their thoughts and actions so that even their good can not be evilly spoken of. Let us construct definite, purposeful reasons for doing things. There is so much immorality in this community, let us each and every one have a purpose, then put that purpose into action and clean out the evil and vice; and in its place put unity, love, peace, and the person that embodies these principles, Christ Jesus, our Lord and Emmanuel. What is the purpose of the higher critics on their talks and discussions about the Virgin Birth and other mysterious things about Christ? Their purpose in one regard is to try and dethrone Christ in the minds of the people who love Him. And the other is because they are immoral and wrong in their own thinking and acting somewhere. Their one object is to make people worship the mind and power of man, an make him their God; but they forget that it is Jesus Christ who gives them the mind; it is He that works through them. If the high-thinkers, those, I mean, that are causing all the disturbance in the world over Christ, could have their full sway, I suppose they would not allow us to celebrate Christmas or Easter; they would think by our keeping sacred each year those days that we were giving too much honor to Christ. But the Psalmist said, "How can I forget thee?" We should have faith and belief in Christ Jesus that "will not shrink, though pressed by every eos; that will not reuilen on the brink of any earthly woe." If you believe in Christ Jesus talk about Him, advertise His works. As people use the Bible to make their points about Christ Jesus, you use your Bible-sitting about the qualities of Him. Once you become a Christian, be a true one; never go back on the One who died taltu you might have a right to the Tree of Lite, Christ Jesus. At 2 p.m., the Sunday-school was opened by Supt. Hogans. At the close of the lesson study, the children rehearsed the Christmas carols. Owing to the rehearsal for the musical next Sunday, the Literary Society was omitted. At 8 o'clock, Pastor Bolen preached a sermon to the Ladies Aid Society. His text was "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee. The only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." St. John 17:3. The dinner was served during the day by the members of the S. M. & L. Society and S. W. was turned over to the church The morning and afternoon services on Sunday, December 23, will be held at Renaissance Casino, 150 West 180th street. The Christmas sermon will be preached at 11:30 a.m. by the Rev. Richard M. Holden, chief pastor, subject, "The place and person of the Child Jesus our Lord in the light of evolution." At 2 p.m., the Sunday-school exercises will be conducted by the superintendent, Rev Win. H. Hogans. At 3:30, the Christmas oratorio, "Elmanuel (Towbridge)," will be rendered. Otto L.

The Men's Guild, under the direction of George Findlay, who has been elected president, is getting in line for a more active season. Their slogan is "Every man in the Guild." Those around the leader seem to think that the only way to have every man in the Guild is to go and get him. The nine Amos canata by the Sunday-school under the direction of Mrs. A. C. Mills shows signs of a great event among our little folks, and their little hearts seem to tarry with pride in playing their part in this entertainment.

The morning service was not very largely attended, in spite of the delightful weather, and the pastor, Rev. E. W. Cooper, attested his original intention and preached from Isaiah 5, basing his sermon on the fourth verse, "Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it toth wild grapes!" He spoke pointedly concerning the seeming negligence of church members in attending religious services, declaring that worldly attractions were gaining too strong a hold upon followers of the Christ. At night, the pastor's text was from St. Mark (22) "The stone whirl the buildings rejected is become the head of the corner, the text originally selected for the morning sermon. Proceeding the evening service, a meeting of the bishop's League was held in an effort to revive this organization.
