Regulations of the Pennsylvania System require retirement of an officer when he reaches the age of 70, and Mr. Ren will attain that age on September 21, 1925. Gen. John F. O'Ryan of New York, general counsel, in a report to the Senate Veterans' Committee, investigating conditions in the Veterans' Bureau, declared that former Director of the Bureau Charles R. Forbes "was a leading actor in an established conspiracy to defraud the government." Although the Obregon forces in Mexico can purchase arms and ammunitions from the United States, President Coolidge has ruled against selling to the Huerta supporters. Obregon has been recognized by this government, while the Huerta faction is considered insurrectionists. Governor Smith, in submitting to the State Assembly the report of the State Commission on Housing and Regional Planning, strongly recommends the extension of present rent laws for a period of two more years. It is thought that a bill to safeguard present benefits to tenants will be passed within ten days, but really interests will make a desperate fight to secure certain modifications which will help the landlord to continue profiteering. Excavations for the 14th street cross-town subdivision caused an invasion of homes in the area, the burden of enormous rats. A tailor, Quattroccio, at all East 14th street, discovered that five months old baby sleeping in its crib, had been attacked four times and bitten by rats. The mother, thinking the child had scratched itself, applied iodine the first time. The last attack alarmed them and they rushed the child to Bellevue Hospital, where an antitoxin was administered. The iodine saved the baby's life, the doctors declared. Four army aviation officers have been named by Major-General Patrick, Chief of the Army Air Service, to take a flight around the world, using the Douglas airplanes with pontoons for water flight and equipped with latest air navigation instruments. The men named are major Frederick L. Martin of Indiana, commanding; Lieuts. Lowell H. Smith of California, Erin H. Nelson of Scotland, and Leigh Wade of Michigan. Two alternates are named, Lieuts. Leslie H. Arnold of Connecticut and L. D. Shriver of California. A baby monkey, the first in 16 years and the second in 37, was born the other day—the money house at Central Park Zoo. The father, barred from the cage, was the floor all night with a bundle of straw in his arms, according to the lepre. Airplanes, 5,000 Enfield rifles and 50,000 rounds of ammunition were sold to the Mexican government by the United States, according to Secretary of War Weeks. The airplanes are at Lafayette Depot, Dayton, Ohio, and the ammunition and ammunition are at San Antonio and Fort Bliss, Texas. The supplies will be turned over to President Oregon's representatives, who assume its responsibility as to deliver it to Mexico. The 25th annual automobile show is being held at the 25th Field Artillery Armory, Jerome avonne and Kingbridge Road, New York this week. It is the largest show of its kind ever held and is being held in the largest armory in the world. Cyrus H. K. Curtis, publisher of the Saturday Evening Post, the Ladies Home Journal, the Country Gentleman and the Philadelphia Public Leider, has purchased the New York Evening Post, New York's oldest newspaper. The Rev. Sabine Barring-Gould, who wrote "Onward Christian Soldier" and other beautiful hymns, is dead in Kentucky at the age of 92. Dr. H. J.

HARVEST OF HQOTCH CRIMES IN HARLEM KEEP POLICEMEN BUSY NO CESSATION TO ACTIVITIES OF HOOTCH HOUNDS IN HARLEM DURING HOLIDAYS DESPIECE CLAIM THAT NEW YORK WAS DRY Police Officials of the 38th Precinct Declare the Holiday Season, Because of Flood of Bootlegging Liquor, Was Most Strenuous They Have Experienced, Many Being On Duty for 24 to 36 Hours on a Stretch. Federal Prohibition Agents Seem to Be Inactive So Far as Harlem Is Concerned and Bootleggers Boast of Ability to Control Official Activity—New York Ministers Hold Meeting and Adopt Resolutions. Bootleggers' hootch in Harlem gave the police of the 38th Precinct some strenuous moments during the week embracing Christmas to New Year's Day. More than thirty hospital cases, including shootings, cuttings, and other forms of casualties, resulted from the dringink of the various alcoholic concoctions served up to Harlem The most serious problem brought total blindness to the victim as a result of a wife slash right across his two eyes, both eyeballs being slit. Doctors at Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he was taken, declare that his sight is forever gone. Officers of the 38th Precinct declare that never before have they been kept so busy or so constantly on the jump as a result of liquor drinking as during this Review of Local Situation With Regard to Place Held By the Negro Orchestras Why the Colored Musician Has Lost Prestige as Producer of Music for Entertaining Purposes, and What He Might Do to Regain Former Popularity.

This holds true, according to many observers, notwithstanding the published declaration attributed to Division Prohibition Chief R. Q. Merrick that New York City was "dry" during the New Year celebration. Merrick is reported as having declared to Prohibition Commissioner Haynes that only "six arrests were made by about one hundred agents." Newspaper accounts were to the effect that these agents had made reservations at leading hotels and cabarets, and intended to see that the law was observed. So far as Harlem was concerned, the Federal agents were not in evidence.

It was only a few years back that the Negro musician, in New York City especially, stood "in the top of the world" from the entertaining quartet point, with a possibility of acquiring an actual monopoly that would enable him to build, and maintain a living possibility in one of the best-paying lines of endeavor afforded in this environment. lor was wide open and dispensing all forms of alcoholic drinks, according to plainly visible evidences to be seen on every side.

MORGIS MUSIC MONE STAFF ROBIN OF MONEY AND JEWELRY Two Men, One Long, One Short, Play Lively Time On Saxophone, Then Hold Up Staff. Just before closing time on Thursday night, January 3, two colored men, one tall and the other short, entered the music shop at 659 Lenox avenue and asked to be shown some saxophones. The manager handed a saxophone to the taller man, who began playing a lively tune. Suddenly he dropped the saxophone and shoved and jumped the symphony guitar at Johnny, the drummer. His companion and Harvey, the singer, jumped Joseph Diamond, Edward Carey and Miss Rose Levine, employees. "Get into the back room or we'll plug you" they said. The employees quickly obeyed. The victims were searched; Fisher yielding up $370; Diamond lost a diamond pin valued at $200, and Miss Levine also lost a diamond ring. The robbers then took a saxophone and a camera each, and backed out into the street. They joined the charge on the avenue and disappeared. Neither has been apprehended. SCHAFFER FURNITURE CO. LOSES $500 IN DAYLIGHT HOLP-UP While two policemen were passing, two armed colored men entered the furniture store of Morris Schaffer at 415 Lenox avenue, on Thursday morning, January 3, and got away with $500 in cash from the proprietor. Clifford Ford of 260 West 143rd street entered to pay an installment on some furniture as the robbers were leaving. They caught Ford between them and escorted him to a waiting automobile. The car drove through 131st street to Eighth avenue and up Eighth avenue. When it reached, 145th street Ford was released and the car continued West on 145th street. The robbers got away and to date have not been apprehended. Colored Dancers Make Such Hit, Albee-Moves Them from Palace to the Hippodrome Thompson & Cowan, who are doubling this week between New York and Philadelphia, were such a pronounced hit at Keith's Palace Theatre Monday that E. F. Albre moved them to the New York Hippodrome where they are being referred to as "the best colored dancing act in vaudeville." After Thompson & Cowan finished their night-performance they made a hasty exit for Philadelphia where they are featured in a big revue the balance of the evening. The Police and Fire Departments are asking owners, landlords and tenants, to give strict attention to the importance of not throwing garbage, paper or refuse down dumb-waiter shafts. Such acts of carelessness are responsible for fires and endanger lives and property. Garbage and refuse should be ready for juniors at regular hours. Obstinate vampes of this rule will minimize the danger of fires and the spread of disease. THE MISSING MEN OF THE WORLD 369TH INFANTRY IS RECOGNIZED BY WAR DEPARTMENT ORDERS Federal Inspections Ordered and Magnified in Music Part of State National Guard. Maj. Gen. Charles W. Berry, commanding New York National Guard, announced Sunday, January 6, that the War Department had authorized Federal recognition of the 369th Infantry, Colonel Arthur Little, commanding, and that the preliminary inspections of the Harlem regiment had been ordered. This is the last of the National Guard troops allotted to the state, the total strength of the units already federalized being 20,746 officers and men. The formal inspections by regular army officers will occur as soon as the regiment occupies its new armory situated on West 142nd and 143rd streets, between Lenox avenue and the Harlem River, which will be some time in February. The colored regiment is attached to the 87th Brigade, Gen. Dyer, for administration and training, but in time of war will constitute the first unit of the 185th Brigade of the 93rd Division. "The 369th Infantry deserves the highest praise for having maintained an organization and a high morale since the waf in the face of many discouragements," said Gen. Berry. "In spite of being compelled to drill in a hall not large enough for a single company the regiment at present numbers 600 men with a corps of able and enthusiastic officers and an efficient noncommissioned personnel." The new armory with its floor space of 300 by 200 feet is said by national guard officers to be the finest drill hall in the state, and will be supplemented later by the erection of adjoining property of the necessary administration building. Harry Wilts, colored heavyweight champion, has been signed for a series of three bouts to take place in the near future. On February 4, at the First Regiment Armory, Newark, he will meet Bartley Madden in a twelve round, no decision bout. He is scheduled to meet Jack Taylor in Hartfgrd, Conn., in a twelve round bout on January 25. Taylor recently won a decision over Battling Siki, but was previously defeated by Kid-Norfolk. He will meet Buddy Jackson, whom he knocked out two years ago at Rochester on January 16. Apparently Willis is no nearer a boat with Dampney than he has been in the past two years, and unless there is a change in the attitude of the Bostock Commission, he is not likely to get his decisive fight with the champion next summer. His friends are hoping that he will accept a boat with Les Firpo. They believe that should he agree a lawsuit over Firpo he will again have the field to himself in the challenge. MAN SHOT BY OFFICER WAS NO BURGLAR, AS REPORTS SET FORTH Henry Robinson, Bartender for Bootlegging Hootch Hound; Was Getting Whiskey Supply From Secret Cache in Cellar and Not Trying to Get Into Pawn Shop. OFFICER WHO DID SHOOTING KNEW VICTIM AND WAS OVERCOME WHEN IDENTITY OF MAN WAS DISCLOSED, BUT CRIME WAS CHARGED Dead Man Had No Police Record, Never Having Been Arrested—Was Well Known to Frequenters of Leroy Wilkins' Pre-Prohibition Saleon, 135th St. and 5th Ave. Henry Robinson, 42, of 135 West 138th street, well-known among Harlemites through having worked for a long while for Leroy Wilkins, in his cafe formerly conducted at 135th street and Fifth avenue, and lately employe das bartender in the bootlegging establishment of Goldgrabeh at 508 Lenox avenue, was shot and instantly killed at an early hour Sunday morning by Policeman Lawrence Symmers of the 38th Precinct. JOE CAPERS, AFTER SHOTING DOWN, IS KILLED BY OFFICER Dead Man Alleged to Have Been Agent for Policy and "Numbers" Players and Police Find Big Bunch of "Number" Slips Tucked Away in His Socks and Clothes. SHOT LEONARD JOHNSON AFTER AN ALTERCATION Patrolman Agard, Off Duty and in Civilian Clothes, Saw Shooting and Attempted to Arrest Capers, Who Resisted and Was Killed When Trying to Shoot Officer. Joseph Capers, 32, of 161 West 131st street, who, it is reported, formerly conducted a newsstand at 133rd street and Seventh avenue, shot Leonard Johnson, 31, of 72 West 133rd street, following an altercation, and then Patrolman Harry F. Agard (9936) of the 13th Precinct, who was off duty and happened to be walking down Seventh avenue, shot Capers four times, killing him almost instantly. The most authentic account of the causes leading up to the trouble between Capers and Johnson is to the effect that Capers, an agent for certain Porto Ricans or Cubans operating a lottery on the Clearing House "numbers." D. E. TODAS SETTLES ADJEVENT AGAINST N. Y. INDEPENDENT Notice of the settlement of a judgment for $20.25 against David R. Tobin and Henry B. Dahlgren has been recently filed in the Seventh District Municipal Court. The judgment was obtained by the Western Newpaper Union on February 8, MH, for services rendered the defendants as publishers of the New York. Interpreter. Although the daily papers stated that Robinson was attempting to break into Roth's Pawn Shop, at 500 Lenox avenue, through a black window, and that the alarm alarm was set off by the thief attempting to the scene two officers of the thief alarm company from the office on West 125th street, these officers picking up Symmers on their way to the scene, an investigation by The Age tends to show that these statements are not based on fact. There is ample reason to believe that Robinson was not in any way attempting a burglary action. Bootlegger Is Protected. It is evident, from the accounts published, and from the police records, that Robinson's character is being bearmiled in an effort to protect his employer, Goldgraben, who operates openly and brazenly a bootlegging place where bootch of the vilest type is sold in large quantities. According to information given The Age by persons who knew Robinson well and had definite knowledge of his activities, he has been employed recently as a bartender by Goldgraben, working in the bootch hole at 508. He was said to be of a quiet disposition, peaceable in his attitude, and it was not known that he had ever been arrested for any offense. He was declared to have had no police record whatever. As a matter of fact, it is said, he and Symmers were well acquainted and their contact was of a very friendly character, and it is reported that when Symmers discovered the identity of his victim, he was prostrated. Robinson was a member of Imperial Lodge, No. 127, I.B.P.O.E of W. An informant tells The Age that the facts in the case, prior to the shooting, embrace the fact that Robinson was on duty behind Goldgraben's bar selling bootch, and that shortly after midnight Saturday night the supply kept behind the bar was exhausted. The principal stock, it is alleged, is kept in a secret room in the cellar, underneath the hutway that runs between the bootch hut and the pawnshop. Robinson took an atchel, as was his custom, and went down to get additional stock. In the meantime, in some manner, the burglar alarm was sounded. This is not unusual, as passersby on Lenox avenue, and residents of apartments in these buildings, are frequently annoyed by the incessant ringing of alarms which have been set off in some accidental manner. Tried To Save Liquor. Robinson, returning from the cellar with the satchel of whiskey, probably glimpsed the officers coming into the hallway without recognizing Symons. As there had been no tip-off that a raid was to be expected, and as his was not in the broom joint itself, he grievously thought best not to be caught with the whiskey, and so tried to make his escape through the porch. The only discrepancy in the various reports of the unfortunate affair is as to whether Robinson was shot in the hall or on the fire escape. The hallway is the entrance to the living apartment, there being two in the rear, of the ground floor, and four on each of the other floors. The hall once back some silvery or forty, less by the maidroom leading to the upper floor. The maidroom leading to the cellar, and a door which opens in the yard. But the backgammon is in full story below the level of the bed floor, and is reached by descending narrow from again. The first plaster of the fire escape is just outside this door, and can easily be reached by a stair. shopping out of the door which hides in the backyard. On the yard level are containers to the collars, including the ones in which the secret caches for Goldman Sachs's store of hooch is located. AR. The evidence as gathered by The Dawn disputes the charge advanced by the police and printed in the daily newspapers that Robinson was a burglar. He was simply a hardworking dispenser of bootz, working for one of the big bootz hounds now infesting Harlem, who was perfectly willing to have the branded as a criminal if that would prevent attention being called to his bootling activities. Joe Capers, After Shooting Man, Is Killed By Officer (continued from First Page). had received money from Johnson who shared a certain number, and that this number had won a prize approximating 824. Johnson sought Capers for the purpose of collecting, and found the man in the alcoon at southwest corner of 133rd street and Seventh avenue formerly conducted by Papen, but lately taken over by Loui, the Lenox avenue boot- leger. Some dispute arose concerning the settlement, and Johnson appeared to be fleeing from Capers, having come out of the saloon and reached the pavement curb, when Capers drew his gun, a 32-calibre Smith and Wesson, and fired once. The bullet struck the fleeing man in the buttock and he dropped. Officer Aard was off duty, was coming from the Y. M. C. A. with a package of underwear in his hand, when he saw the shooting. He rushed to Johnson, who lay just at the edge of the gutter. Johnson raised up and cried, "That man shot me!" "I saw him," replied the officer, and made for Capers, who had turned, after shooting Johnson, and was, walking away. Agard called to him to halt, announcing at the same time that he was an officer, and approached the man. Capers turned to the officer, but began hacking away, making what the officer describes as an attempt to fire again. Agard, seeing the revolver in the man's hand, resolved to take no chance and drew his service revolver from the side of his overcoat, where he was carrying it, and began firing. He fired four times, one shot taking effect in the left arm, near the elbow, the others penetrating Capers' body, causing almost instant death. A' Harlem Hospital ambulance was summoned and Dr. Levinky, who responded pronounced Capers as dead. The body was removed to the 30th Precinct station house on West 135th street. The body was on the 30th Precinct, where he is said to be doing fairly well, with ample chance for recovery, unless unexpected complications get in. Agard Exoperated. Officer Agard immediately proceeded to the 133th street station house and surrendered to the officer in charges. After investigation, the Police Department gave out the following official statement: "At 250 p.m. January 7, Patrolman Harry F. Agard (9936), attached to the 133th Precinct, while off duty in civilian clothes at the northwest corner of 133d street and Seventh avenue, saw Joseph Capers, 32 years old, of 161 West.131st street, fire one shot from a 32-calibre revolver at one Leonard Johnson, 31, of 72 West 133rd street, the shot taking effect in Johnson's left buttock. "Patrolman Agard pursued Capers and called upon him to halt, stating that he was a police officer. Capers turned around and pointed his revolver at the officer and threatened to shoot, where-upon Officer Agard drew his service revolver and fired four shots at Capers, one shot taking effect in Capers' back. Dr. Levinsky of Harlem Hospital was numbed and opened Capers' door. His body was removed to the 18th Precinct station and Leonard Johnson was taken to Harlem Hospital and will recover. Patrolman Agard continues on duty." Capers, according to police records, possessed a criminal record. Under the alias, "John Fraser," he was arrested at Portchester for grand larceny, the case not being disposed of as yet. He was out on bond. On January 24, 1919, he was convicted of petty larceny here in New York City and served a term of sixty days in the workhouse. When his dead body was searched, there were four burglaries and six burglaries, most of small value, and a big bunch of policy slips containing "numbers" which had evidently been played by patrons of the Cleaving House "number" lottery tucked away in "rouser's" locks and socks. Alleged Wife Deserter Is Held on Both State And Federal Charges Newark, N. J.-While Grover E. Givens of Matwan was being arranged on January 5 before Justice of the Peace Scotland on two charges, Deputy U. S. Marshal Ecklerine arrived with a warrant charging Givens with a third offense. After being held in $3,000 bail on charges of wife desertion and maintaining illegal relations, Givens and Mrs. Grace Poole Givens of Montclair, arrested with him, were turned over to the deputy marshal. The latter had been paroled on the illegal relations charge. Gave the new warrant the two were taken before United States Commissioner, Condon, who held Givens in $1,000 bail for a hearing Tuesday. His companion was held in $1,000 bail as a witness. The charge against Givens in Monclair followed the making of a charge against him by an agent of the Children's Aid Society, who mounted hull of deserting a wife and child in Mayport and marrying in New York. Elizabeth, N. J.—While attending the burial of her mother, Mrs. Jutta E. Riven, who was buried on December 28, Mrs. Dana Elizabeth Johnson, 85 years old, served with percussion from which she died on Sunday, January 21. Mrs. Riven was serving in this city. Mrs. Riven her entire life. Mrs. Riven was a member of St. Mary's Presbyterian Church and is survived by her husband, James; daughter, Grace; sister, the Missus Stella; brother, Brenn; Mrs. John Washburn; Mrs. Lilian Washburn and Mrs. Nedell Washburn; our brother, Raymond Bees; our sister, Mary Currier; and a daughter. Harvest Of Hootch Crimes In Harlem Keep Policemen Busy It is not unusual to see women smoking cigarettes within doors, but not often do they smoke out in the open. Cigar smoking among women is rarely anywhere; it is said, but one of the white girls waiting in front of Comme's on this occasion, was debonantly puffing a bag, farting and seizing to enjoy it. It is increasingly evident, according to well-informed Harlemites, that Comme's Jim is discriminating more and more largely against colored patrons in favor of the "slummers", sports, "coke addicts", and high-rollers of the white who come to Comme's for illicit and illegal recreations and associations under conditions that they believe will protect their names and reputations. Those people have more money and can afford to spend more than any group of Negro patrons, and money is the only good the bootlegging fraternity has any thought for. They need money, too, if reports are in any form correct, for it takes an enormous sum to purchase the protection from interference by law agents which they seem, to enjoy. Connie Bamberger and his group of associates, including his brother, Moe, and his brother-in-law, Loul Immerman, enjoys an immunity from interference that can be explained in no other way save that they contrl. as they openly boast, the officials who are sworn to enforce the law. At Odds With Each Other. The allegation is made that certain Federal agents, known to the Harlem hoofdgermen as "Tony," and "Barney" have pointed out to the hoofed sellers a individual whom they describe as "Said Grill, undercover man for the Prohibition Enforcement Department," telling them at the same time not to worry, as all warrants sworn out by the "undercover man" are put in their hands for execution, and that makes everything O. K. In the meantime, it is alleged, the group which includes Loui, Moe, Cocnie and Goldgraben, is said to be at outs with Hyman, the biggest dealer in Harlem, because they have discovered, it is said, that in 1921 Hyman tried to doublecross them. They were too strong for Hyman at that time, and now, when they would like to return the compliment to their erstwhile associate, Hyman has grown too strong for them to make an open fight. So it is reported that they plan to use friendly agents in the Federal offices, either here or in Washington, to do the "getting" of Hyman. The bootcagecars continue their operations boldly and in the open, and any day their highpowered motorcar can be seen in front of one or the other, of the cigar surrences, delicatessens or lunch rooms, camouflage the selling of booths, while out the 5-gallon cans of spirits or jigs of the booths already been prepared. The 1924 license of at least one of these motorcars was noted by an observer as N. Y. 795-761. Backing Policy and "Numbers." Moe Bamberger, it is alleged, has added to his bootlegging activities another line that is not to prove as profitable as hooch selling. In fact, if published reports have any basis of fact, he will make more money in this new venture than bootlegging could possibly bring in. It is alleged that he is furnishing the banking for those who play the Clearing House numbers, various forms of policy, or the "Mutt & Jeff" fingers. He is reported to have in his employ some fifteen or twenty agents, and the amounts brought in by these men attain fabulous proportions when summed up at weekly intervals. Sophisticated comment on the activities of Federal agents is to the effect that such arrests as are made only affect the small fish, as a rule, or such others as are not affiliated with those who pay for protection. The question is being freely asked. How long will the Federal authorities permit this dreadful condition to continue? The Commandant at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Rear Admiral, has found it necessary, in order to remedy the bootch and drug situation, to offer the naval enlisted contingent, to establish a deadline covering all territory contingent on the yard within a mile radius, inside of which sailors and marines are not permitted to stop, loiter or even live. The Federal authorities, it is pointed out, might be able to remedy conditions in Harlem if an "Admiral Plunkett" Harlem Is Not Dry! Revenue Officers Should Come and See Illicit hooch-tellers operate openly and brazenly in Harlem. Listed below are addresses of business places on Fifth, Lenox, Seventh and Eighth avenues, and on West 131st, 132nd, 135th, 138 and 144th street, and it is alleged at each of these addresses bootlaggers are operating, either openly or under a camouflage of some sort.

Censured Debt to Save Life. A listener in a Harlem barber shop tells of an overhead recounting which would be humorous except that a minister atmosphere is no all-pervading. One of the customers of the shop was telling his barber that some time previously he had made a loan of $25 to a friend who engaged in bootlegging in a small way. In securing payment of the loan, declared the man, he had been compelled to trade it tout with his bootlegging friend. This was not objectionable at first, declared the man, and he had gotten $17 worth of bootch from his friend on account of the loan. But the "skull-digging whiskey" which he received had proven too much for him, he said, and finally he had been glad to cancel the balance of $8 rather than run the risk of ruining his health by drinking any more of the vile poison dishout out to him by his bootlegger creditor. He said: "My life was sure worth more than $8 so I just called the whole square." Ministers - Pass Resolutions The ministers of New York City, including both the Baptists and the Interdenominational Preachers' Meeting, held a joint meeting on Tuesday; January 1, and took action on conditions in Harlem by passing a set of resolutions, which took the form of a warning to the public "against the growing tendency to wink at various forms of lawlessness." After calling upon "all good citizens" to aid in a "proposed moral crusade," the preachers pointed out evils arising from temament house congestion, excessive rent, careless landlords, inadequate supervision of health and fire laws, the resolutions denounced bootlegging in the following terms: "We enter our scathing denunciation of the menace of bootlegging—the stealthy gidding of poisonous liquor by irreparable and unscrupulous dupes of the more powerful liquor interests. We especially condemn as pernicious and criminal the hooch-selling delicatessens and stores of make-believe merchandise, managed and financed by white people who live out of our district and have no interest in the people of our group, except that of exploitation. "We express the opinion that the business conducted by our own people could be better controlled and would be far less objectionable if there were fewer licenses issued to white persons to set up business in colored communities and hire colored men to round up the breece distributors and send them out to violate the law by selling poison to the weak and unsuspecting Negro public wherever found, in store, in shop, in cabarces, at house parties, on streets, in public halls, anywhere, even going to the doors of Negro homes in a systematic Then followed a general denunciation of Sabbath desecration, attributed to the influence of the foreign element whose religions and customs differ from ours, resulting in open stores, commercial recreations, Sunday halls, baseball and other forms of wordly recreation, and any form of discrimination in favor of lawbreakers, white or colored. The police and License Bureau are asked to protect Harlem "from the moral degradation that follows the cheap movies, the unsupervised cabaret, the public dance halls." The resolutions committee was composed of Revs. A. C. Garner, William P. Hayes, R. M. Bolden, William Y. Bell, H. A. Booker, F. A. Cullen and J. W. Brown. 15-YR. OLD BOY WHO KILLED UNCLE, GETS 10-30 YRS. IN PRISON Elizabeth, N. J. — Because he was adjudged to be a little more, instead of a little less than fifteen years of age, Louis Gilbert, a Negro boy from Georgia, was sentenced to from 10 to 30 years in the State Penitentiary at Trenton, instead of being sent to the Rahway Reformatory. Louis shot and killed his uncle, John Hall, last July in Rahway, because, it is alleged, he envisioned his uncle the possession of a shiny bicycle the latter had purchased. The boy's father is said to be in an insane asylum in Georgia, his mother is dead, and his uncle, who brought him North was the only known relative. Two aliens, Dr. Horace Levengood and Dr. Charles H. Schlichter, made an examination of Louis and declared him to be sane, although of sluggish mentality. He was sentenced on Saturday January 5. Up to Friday, the 4th, Louis had earnestly proclaimed his innocence but he finally changed his plea from not guilty of murder in the first degree to that of being kulty of second degree murder. Judge Kallisch in the Supreme Court, Edizabeth, pronounced the sentence. Dressed in the garish new clothes bought for him by the Sheriff so he might appear well in court, the youth took little interest in the proceedings. As his counsel, appointed by the court, James C. Connolly, and the Prosecutor, A. J. Davies, described his case to Justice Kallack the boy stared vacantly before him. As sentence, was pronounced he shifted his feet awkwardly and looked at the floor. It was his only demonstration of emotion. He was taken so the penitentiary on Monday, Mr. Connolly, plied with the Court for chancery. He said Louis had thought the gun he aimed at his uncle was unloaded and was only "feeling." "I have been thrown to know just how to treat your man," described Justice Kallack, visibly affected, so the boy, who stood unmoved before him. "If you were younger—even not so far advanced you to the Railway Reformatory. But as you are nearly sixteen I am directed by law and I must send you to St. Francis at hard labor.

LOUB, MO, U. S. A. DEP. B-6 CONG. OVER TIES N. A. A. C. P. Meeting at Renaissance Casino Attended by Large and Earnest Group of Citizens of Both Races. COL. BOOSEVELT ALSO CONDEMNS LYNCHING AND KU KLUX KLAN The N. A. A. C. P. held the most successful meeting it has had in New York for some time at the Renaissance Casino on Sunday afternoon, January 6. The auditorium was crowded to its capacity and much enthusiasm was shown when Congressman L. C. Dyer announced that the Dyer Apti-Lynching Bill would be reported before the Judiciary Committee on Thursday and that he was certain it would be passed by the House of Representatives. Representative Dyer said that it was up to the Negroes of the states where they were permitted to vote to let the members of the Senate know that they wished the bill passed. James Weldon Johnson, who presided, reviewed the progress of the race during 1923, and pointed out that we had reasons to be hopeful toward the future. He then introduced Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of The Navy, who said that the work this organization was doing was simply Americanism. "The question is one of law or lawlessness," he continued, "Lynching has been a stench in the nostrils of all liberty-loving, law abiding Americans, and it is the fight of the whole country to stamp it out." He also attacked the Ku Klux Klan and urged the importance of educating Negro children for better citizenship. At the conclusion of this address Mr. Johnson made an appeal for funds to help carry on the fight against lynching. He announced that Mme. A.Lelia Walker Wilson had recently given $2,000 to help in the fight against lynching, which made the full $5,000 her mother had pledged toward this cause. The audience responded generously and $492,654 was given in cash and $664 in pledges. Among the pledges was $25 from Col William Hayward on behalf of the men of the Old Fifteenth and a like amount from Col. Little from the men of the 369th Infantry. Colonel Hayward sent a telegram regretting that an official engagement prevented him from being present and saying, "We welcome Colonel Rosewell in the fight, for true Americanism." Attacked Federal Council of Churches Attached Federal Council of Churches Representative Dyer was then introduced and spoke for more than an hour. He stated that he had spoken in New York to colored audiences several times previously and had come to look upon them as being indifferent to the fate of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, but their enthusiasm on this occasion had changed this opinion. Mr. Dyer made a seething attack on the recent report of the Federal Council of Churches, which is said to have given credit to that organization for the big reduction in the number of Lynchings during 1923. "The Christian Churches as a whole," he charged, "have done nothing to promote good feeling between the black and white races. The Federal Council of Churches is claiming credit which does not belong to it." Mr. Dyer paid tribute to Mr. Johnson, stating that more credit should be given him than any single individual for the success the bill had in the last Congress. In conclusion, the Congressman urged his hearers to get behind the Association and fight together until this bill became a law and lynching was stamped out. Among those on the platform were A'Lelia Walker Wilson and Mrs. Cacile Randolph, Mary White Owington, Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore, Mme. Miss Nannie Burroughs of Washington, Dr. Geo. E. Haynes, Rev. Shaw of St. Louis, Dr. Geo. E. Cannon of Jersey City, Mrs. Sadie Warren, Col. Arthur Little, Lieut. Col. Geo. F. Hinton, Lieut. Col. Seth McClinton, Julius Watson, Counsellor C. T. A. French, John E. Nail, Revs. A. G. Garner, A. Clayton Powell, J. W. Brown and William P. Hayes. Music was furnished by the Grace Congregational Church choir. The invocation was by the Rev. William P. Hayes and benediction by the Rev. J. W. Brown. The young ladies of the Debutantes served as ushers and took up the collection of contributions and pledges. WESTDOCK CONNECTION MAYED TO DEPART ON THE VIRGIN ISLANDS Sec. of Labor Davis Davis Sends Men to Report on Economic Conditions of New Citizens. Washington, D. C.—Six prominent American colored men have been selected by Secretary of Labor James J. Davis to constitute an official Government Commission to investigate economic conditions in the Virgin Islands. It is said to be the first time in the history of the United States that an all-Negro government commission has been sent to one of the American possessions. The delegation will consist of Robert Church, of Memphis, chairman; Cornelius Richardson of Richmond, Ind.; vice chairman; George H. Woodson, of Des Moines, secretary; Jefferson H. Coage, of Delaware; Prof. Charles E. Mitchell of the Institute of West Virginia, and W. H. C. Brown, an investment banker of Norfolk and Newport News. The commission will leave the United States about January 12, from New York and plans to make an extensive survey of conditions in the Islands, which are said to be deplorable. Actual starvation is said to be threatening some of the natives, following the virtual demolition of the bay rum industry by American prohibition. The production and export of bay rum has always been the principal industry of the Islands. Most of the population of the Islands are Negroes or of Negro extraction. Latest census figures reported the population consisting of approximately 17,000 Negroes, 5,000 mixed, Japanese Chinese app Orientals, and of other 1,900 whites. The commission will study labor and living conditions; employment, immigration and emigration farming, with particular reference to the possibility of establishing industries there to offset the loss of the bay rum industry. It is probable that six to eight weeks will be consumed in the investigation. A report will be made to Secretary Davis, who will make it the basis for recommendations to Congress.

The pastors and clergymen of the various religious denominations of the race in Haiti have united in a movement to foster righteousness. They have pronounced a warning to the public against the growth tendency to wink at various forms of laziness. They have called upon the church people to arouse from their indifference and lethargy concerning flagrant violations of law and order. They call for concerted action on the part of all good citizens to aid the proposed moral crusade for a better Haitem. A good text for the preachers to embody in this movement for a better Harlem would be the consideration of the business development of the race, as viewed from man angles. A peculiar feature of this development up to date is the fact that the women seem to be forging in the lead, except for the lines of real estate, undertaking bar shops and pool rooms. The lines so far followed by them include doll manufacturing millinery and beauty shops, in which law particular the supply has hard work to keep up with the demand. Each of the churches averages from 2,000 to 3,000 members and this united membership would constitute a powerful factor in the building up of real business. If the pastors will emphasize the importance of the members giving an earnest and hearty support to deserving business enterprises started by the race, the effect should be felt in a moving force for development. It would be a practical lesson in teaching their members how to live instead of how to die. There is an active demand for shoe store clothing stores and a real department store owned and operated by the race in Harlem. Few of the stores now operated by white along these lines give employment to co-operated help. The stores maintained by race enterprise would change this condition and if properly conducted and generously supported would prove beneficial in every way. Let the preachers take this text bearing on business development as a needful adjunct of civic righteousness and a step forward in the movement for a better Harlem. The Parable of the Talents, or some other appropriate portion of Scripture, might be applied to this theme most appositely. It is a live subject and relates to the everyday business of living rather than to the rare occasion of dying. WHY IS BLANCHARD RETAINED? Since the administration of President Grant, the Republican party has adopted the policy of sending as Minister to the black republic of Haiti an American of African descent. Even during the first term of Grover Cleveland this precedent was followed, although during his second term a white Minister was appointed. Under the Wilson administration the post was filled by Minister Blanchard, white of course, who still remains ostensibly in charge. It was during this time that the Navy Department, through the medium of United States marines, overturned the existing government of Haiti and Assistant Secretary Franklin Roosevelt wrote a new constitution for the country, which placed it entirely under American control. This subversion of the autonomy of an independent government of a smaller nation in the interest of American capitalists was made one of the ideals of the presidential campaign by the President Harding, then a candidate. Parties have changed in control at Washington, but the policy of keeping Haiti in subjection to be exploited by influential American interests remains the same. The best obstacle to the appointment of a new minister appears to be the fact, stated on high authority, that "the marines and the Receiver of Customs (an American) are among the island and there are no changes in contact."

The final obstacle to the appointment of a new master appears to be the fact, stated from high authority, that "the marines and the Receiver of Customs (an American) are facing the island and there are no changes to respect." This brutal admission exposes the reason continuing Mr. Blanchard in the office has no vital reason for existence, so does no actual diplomatic communication with an existing Haidian government, /o- cause that government units only upon the sufficiency of the marines and the American officials who exercise the real power of making and enforcing the laws. This is the state of affairs which the Republican candidate and his party during the last campaign promised to bring to an end and restore self-government for the Haitians. President Harding repeatedly promised the editor of The Age that a change should be made. Why has this pledge been so absolutely ignored? Why should not Haiti have a minister who is in sympathy with its people and their aspirations, and who could get in touch with their innermost thoughts and the desires of its government? These questions call for an explicit answer from the present administration and the Republican majority in the Senate, who are responsible for the continuance of the Democratic invasion of Haiti, inaugurated under the Wilson administration. CRIME AND MOOTCH. Police records in the Harlem district showed over thirty crimes of violence reported on New Year's eve. This outburst of cutting and slashing and shooting and stabbing, together with robberies and hold-ups, kept the detectives of this precinct on the jump for as long as twenty-four hours at a stretch in some cases. It demonstrated in a most striking manner the need for a greater number of detectives in this section to cope with the situation brought about by the unlimited sale of hooch and the lawlessness thereby encouraged. The lack of enforcement of the law for bidding the sale of liquor in this section, to together with the license allowed to gamblers and the keepers of questionable resorts, in violating all laws restricting their activities as led to general contempt for the law and an utter disregard of all restrictions. The criminal classes of the city, as well as those merely out for a good time, flock to Harlem because they have reason to believe that anything goes there." "the lid is always off," and "three o'clock in the morning" in the hour of greatest revelry. This state of things may tickle the cabaret proprietors and those who run the all night resorts but does not make a hit with the respectable residents and property owners, who find their lives and property endangered and their peace broken by this criminal invasion. The complaisant manner in which both the Federal and city authorities close their eyes to this criminal exploitation of Harlem by hooch venders was illustrated by the following Washington dispatch to the New York Herald, under date of January 4: Police records in the Harlem district showed over thirty crimes of violence reported on New Year's eve.

Q. Merrick, divisional chief of New York, reported personally today to Prohibition Commissioner Haynes that this New Year was the drytest in the history of New York, the biggest cabaret in the city, "Mr. Merrick said, 'No whiskey was found. The agents reported places filled with patrons, all in good humor, but no whiskey in sight. "It was evident that the law is being better compiled with than ever before. I was in New York two years ago on New Year's eve and by midnight we had the office almost full of whisky and all the patrons." "All agents reported virtually no drunkenness and no open violations. Only six arrests resulted from the night's work of about 100 aguas." In view of the open sale of poison hootch which has been going on in Harlem for months, this report is about as farcical a statement as ever found its way in print. looks as if the Prohibition enforcement authorities' idea of New York was bounded by Broadway, and at that not running above the fifties. Mr. Merrick should have brought his hundred agents to Harlem New Year's eve and his haul would have been much greater, unless warning of his visit preceded them. Despite the failure of the Federal forces to stop the sale of hootch, the attention of the Police Commissioner should be directed to the need of more detectives in Harlem to cope with the increase of violence.

Whether they intended to put a ban upon the use of the day for any purpose except churchgoing and the reading of religious literature, such as the Christian Recorder and the Star of Zion, is not quite clear, but professional baseball and other sports given for mercenary gain, were strictly disapproved. The observance of Sunday as a day of rest and recreation has visibly broadened during the present generation. The tendency to get out into the open air more and the increased inclination toward various forms of athletic sport have done much to encourage this. Golf and baseball and excursions by auto car have taken the place of church going with many. One reason for this has been that most of our church members are industrious working people, whose only day for recreation is Sunday. The leisure class among our people is not likely to be numbered among the church-going class. It is doubtful if much good can be accomplished by the church undertaking to draw the lines any tighter against Sunday recreation. The church should rather broaden out in encouraging a proper one of a part of the day in recessing from the grids of the days labor. The church should be to repose. NEW YORK AGE the claims of the church for devotion with the claims of the individual for recreation. If the early hours of the morning are given to a round of the hats, the athletic Christian can attend morning prayer, with a sense of wellbeing that makes the devotion a greater privilege. The baseball fan who attends church service in the morning can give the afternoon to applauding home runs with an easier conscience. The autolists should endeavor to return from their day's outing in time, to attend the evening service. The widening gap between modernism and fundamentalism in the church, which manifests itself in such practical things as the question of proper recreation, must be bridged in some such manner as suggested above, if the church is to maintain its hold on the youth of today. Unless this recreation can be found within the church institution, it will be sought on the outside. The Chicago Defender after exhaustive research and profound deliberation, reached the original conclusion that the Negro in this country is an American. It devoted the upper quarter of the first page of its issue dated January 5, to this announcement: "Negroes to be known as Americans, starting January 1." As the ancestors of the present colored population of the United States began to arrive here something over three hundred years ago, the erudite editor of the Defender cannot be accused of untimely haste in reaching the conclusion so grandiloquently announced. If he had studied the history of the race a little more closely, he would have found the names of Crispus Attucks, Seymour Burr and Jeremy. Jonah were among the colored patriots of the American Revolution. A black soldier named Salem shot the British commander, Major Pitcairn, at the battle of Bunker Hill. Titus Coburn, Alexander Ames, Barzilai Lew and Cato Howe were among the other colored soldiers at Bunker Hill, each of whom received a pension. Were they Americans? The only strictly aboriginal inhabitants of this country, entitled to be known as Americans, were the Indians, whom the original European colonists found here. All the Americans of today are the descendants of these early immigrants, whether they came from Europe or Africa. All of them are entitled to claim America as the country of their birth, to which they owe allegiance and from which they claim protection. But when it comes to the question of the ethnic varieties entering into the composition of the modern American, the melting pot threatens to bubble over. The African strain which entered first through the gates of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619, has made its indelible impression on the nation. By absorption and by assimilation, despite the denial of the facts by purlblind scientists, the Negro has become an inalienable element of American civilization.

Who died of injuries received in the Minnesota game last fall. An honor "A" was sent to his mother at Ravenna, Ohio. College sports has its heroes and martyrs no less than war. American athletics is a strenuous game, only intended for the stout of heart and strong of frame. The Norfolk Journal and Guide celebrated its twenty-third anniversary by a special edition of sixteen pages. It plumed itself on the fact that it had never missed an issue in its twenty-three years, although at one time the plant suffered a fire which put all machinery out of commission and necessitated removal to a new location. A fine record. John E. Millholland, an old time Republican leader, wants to know if the Republican party intends to commit suicide. In a letter to Chairman Adams of the National Republican Committee Mr. Millholland gives as the reason for his question the Republican party's disregard of Negro voters. "The Negro voters of this country," says Mr. Millholland in this open letter, "cannot be corraled as formerly by their old-time leaders." The Republican party, continues Mr. Millholland, has pledged itself for forty years to right the wrong of disfranchisement in the South, "but it hasn't even cut down the Democratic representation in Congress and in the Electoral College, as commanded by the Constitution." The Negroes, asserts Mr. Mitchellland, "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. Their own efforts lead them to take the obvious way, that in to cross the border, also to the North, where there is plenty of work, their wages paid in good cash, and very little lynching or burdon to worry about." Mr. Mitchellland, after his economic political career in New York City, evidently admires but four Minneapolis and is able to read the sign of the door. Here in Oregon we have the collector of customers, who has a colored permit the revenue collector has all white help. The U. S. district has not a black face among his many employees, this regardless of his solitary promise that he would employ some colored help. In the land office the same condition prevails, while at the same time in many other states some colored men and women who are employed on only as deputies but as clerks, stenographers, deputies and the like. This answer should be convincing enough to those voters who believe in proper recognition of political support: Commenting on the unique proposition of Dr. J. A. Kenney of Tusteeque Institute, who insured his life for $10,000 for the benefit of two medical scouts, the Dallas Express said: Dr. Kenney has insured his life in favor of Howard University, and Medbury Medical College and challenged other Negro physicians, dentists and pharmacists to do likewise in order that a million dollar endowment for the two schools be his a unique challenge. One that indicates a desire for the progress of schools of medicine for our young men far beyond the ordinary. Some other reputable numbers of the profession have also made gifts larger and equally as acceptable as these of Kimcy. A notable instance is proof of Kimcy's gift of $10000 to Medbury three years ago by Dr. J. W. Anderson of Dallas. This response of our professional men to the demand for increased facilities for medical education is most encouraging as a further indication of the doctrine of self-help. The editor of the Richmond Planet takes the following presumistic view of conditions at Washington: The anti-Negro atmosphere in the city of Washington seems to have changed the attitude of every President of the United States since the administration of Grover Cleveland, the Democratic President from New York. He was a positive leader, but he did not let the chips fall where they may. President Woodrow Wilson made promises that he seemed unable to keep and Bishop Alexander Walters, the colored leader from New York went to his grave a practically heart-broken man. He had a large following of Negro Democrats, and he was unable to make good the promises he had made to them upon the basis of the representations made to him by the distinguished ex-president of Princeton University. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was no exception. The incarceration of the imminent assassination of the United States Army is glowing evidence of his susceptibility to this same spirit. Now comes that staid New England pioneer, Calvin Coolidge, with a record of non-race prejudice, which has caused even Editor William Monroe Trotter of the Boston Guardian to throw up his hat and yell, and yet when he was subjected to the first test, he "bended the knee to Blair," to speak. His message to the nation has had the effect of excelling from one section of this country to the other by the colored press in so far as it refers to the dark race in this country. How to dissipate this poison gas of race prejudice that permeates the national capital seems to be the question at issue. The Illinois Conservator, published at Springfield, refers to the ownership of motor cars as an index of financial prosperity. It said: Colored preachers of a community usually epitomize the economic status of the race. Out of eleven colored preachers in Springfield, seven have cars. Their members follow closely with a goodly number in each congregation. Negroes earn more money than in the past and buying autos is one of the many things that Negroes now purchase. The purchase of motor cars by those who can afford their upkeep is well and good, but to mortgage a house to buy a car and the run in debt to run it, is far from good policy. Under the caption of "A Worthy Precedent," the Indianapolis Freeman made the following editorial expression: News has come that Dr. George E Cannon of Jersey City, N. J., has been named delegate at large to the National Republican Convention which meets in Cleveland. While this is the first time in the history of the state that a colored man has been named delegate at large, on the other hand, this is nothing new for New Jersey, as New Jersey has two colored representatives and the assistant United States District Attorneys, Oliver Randolph, is a native of that state. The significant thing about it is that notwithstanding the mere hand-tul of colored voters in the state of New Jersey, colored men receive every possible political recognition. This is also true of New York City, Chicago, and other cities having a large colored population. It is almost past understanding how the Negro of Indiana needs to get involved in political activities, because of our political activities there, but get nothing for such political action. In both Chicago and New York, Negroes are holding high salaried positions given them by. Democratic administrations. It is about time the Negro wakes up in Indiana, get together and try to get somewhere. The position of Indiana as a doubtful state politically should render the course advised by the Freeman feasible and productive of results. George T. Lee, a Negro, established what is thought to be a world's reckon for oyster shucking, when he shucked forty-five gallons of oysters in ten hours.

B. Infantry, who are incarcerated at Lavenworth because of an allied riot at Houston, Texas, in 1918. A strong and concerted effort has been made to secure favorable consideration of a plea for their relief, but unavailably to this time. Congressman Hamilton Fish Jr., of the North Dakota Division with the 309th A.E.F. holding rank as captain, is taking an active part in securing pardon for three men. He has written Major General W. A. Bethel, Judge Advocate General of the Army, as follows: HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WASHINGTON, D. C. December J1, 1923. Major General W. A. Bethel, Judge Advocate General of the Army, Ark. Department. In accordance with our conversation over the telephone this morning, I am writing to ask how many colored soldiers were executed and how many are still in jail; also their names and the length of time they still have to serve as a result of the riot at Houston, Texas, in the fall. Having served with colored troops in the South I know something of the difficulty of their situation; at least enough to appreciate that the wrong was not all on their side. In view of the recent amnesty to political prisoners who obstructed the draft, polished the minds of our people, made law breakers and draft dodgers 'out of thousands, and some whom incited or actually participated in blowing up bridges, factories, sometimes with a bite, and generally impeded the conduct of our military forces, might not these colored soldiers also be granted clemency whose only offense was to take part in the race riot where evidence has been produced to show that a large part of the responsibility should be borne by the white civilian population? I make no apologies or hold no brief for the colored non-commissioned offenders, and in the riot who have been incited in the riot without their participation in the riot without mediation, been sufficiently minced.

LABOCA CLUBHOUSE Balboa Post Office Panama Canal Zone President, the United Fruit Company. 111 State Street, Boston, Mass. Sir--On a recent trip to Central America, I had the pleasure of witnessing the United Fruit Company's great banana and cocoa farms of Costa Rica. I am sure that only a very small part of the civilized world realizes the great benefit that has come to Central America through the instrumentality of this company; but I believe the greatest benefit of all is that which has been received by the thousands of men of my own race, for there is not a people on earth who needs sympathetic help and encouragement more than this class of individuals. I found out also by personal interview that as a man becomes efficient in his work, the man's company was not slow to recompense same; but aside from the facts as above mentioned, the most important duty which I attempt to impress upon the minds of some of those men was that of saving a part of their earnings each month. To this question nearly every man to whom I spoke had the same argument, which was the inconvenient means for saving or the lack of any provision for the saving of their earnings. There also came to my notice several and cases money by putting it into the hands of Chinese merchants and after a time when they had occasion to go for it or a part of it the said merchants claimed that they had no money belonging to the men. There were other cases where men had been paid their monthly wages, who, in other small hills, said they could have easily saved a part of the remainder if it were convenient. You can see, therefore, that this is a sad state of affairs, and the United Fruit Company, along with its magnificent services to the world can do a great and lasting good by providing means at Lemon, Costa Rica, and perhaps other places of equal importance, which would be a part of their monthly earnings.

The usual "closing out" of any Negro concern has always, if my memory serves me right, caused, rightly or wrongly, the deformation of the character of the individual in charge. In this particular case it is the direct contrary, and as I intend to be right here in Harlem, it is my duty to publicize the public given the knowledge of the failure of my concern in the proper light. I know that I have done my best, and I know also that those associated with me have done their best. When a person or a group of persons have done that, the old saying says, "Angels can do no more."

Brawley Published by B. J. Brimmer Co. Boston.) The loyal and effective service of 400,000 American Negro soldiers throughout the World War, the excellent qualities of leadership shown by the 1,000 Negro officers who saw "saw things through" in France, the uniring and cheerful work of the Negro stevedores in laying the groundwork for combat troops, the successful efforts which were made by white and colored welfare workers to improve the conditions of Negro soldiers in and near their camps, and the successful Negro constant troopers—this story has been told simply and in a straightforward manner. B. J. Williams, director of physical education, Hampton Institute, in "Bidleighs on Negro Soldiers," a 250-page book recently published by B. J. Brimmer Company of Boston. Benjamin Blowley, Raleigh, N. C., professor of English at Shaw University, has written the introduction, which states the problem that the Negro in uniform has to face in America and in India. This book is a highly complex one and for its question what was required the cooperation of many agencies. "Sidleighs on Negro Soldiers" gives in well-arranged order the specific information which is needed to show how American Negroes met the call to the colors; how they fled in their camps; how the Negro officers were trained; in spite of the numerous obstacles which men faced in the war; and men attempted to influence the Negroes to turn against the United States; how the Negro troops suffered in France from systematic propaganda against them; how the problems arising from camp followers, especially women, were met and solved; how the "Y" and other welfare organizations manifested to the needs of Negro soldiers, usually with great success; how the secretaries starred on and handled the war; and how the well-known 9th and 19th Divisions were organized and trained, and how the Negro units played their part in helping to win the World War.

It is unfortunate that "Rosanne" the play on Negro life in the South, now at the Greenwich Village Theatre, was written by a Southern white woman who sits on a white cast, for with a good colored cast it could be made one of the big successes of the season. "Rosanne" is gripping, dramatic and well acted, but throughout the performance the spectator is continually reminded of the fact that these are only white people made up as Negroes, and also that there is little difference in the appearances of the two races when the color of their skin is the mean. The author evidently stands on the southern tradition that it would save of social equality to have a mixed cast, apparently thinking that the three principal characters must be taken by white people, although they represent colored Charles Gilpin, Florence Milli, and several other thespians of the race, could well take the leading part and make the performance even more convincing than it now is. The action of the play takes place in a small town in Georgia near Atlanta. Rosanne, a hardworking colored woman, who raised a young sister, Loola, from babhood, is seen in her cabin ironing, as the play opens. Loola comes in from the store and begs her sister to permit her to go to a picnic with one of the boys of the village, but Rosanne refuses her permission, stealing that her pastor had denounced picics as being evil. The girl is in an angry mood and begins to herate her sister for placing so much confidence in the pastor, Rosanne is defending the minister, declaring that "he is the finger of God," when the Rev. Cicero Brown enters with several sisters, of the Ladies Aid Society. All the women gather around and fairly worship him—all except Loola. It is brought out in the dialogue that Rosanne has given him more than all the rest, including the bulk of the money for a new suit of clothes and a big armchair. After listening to the flattery of the women for some time he sends each of them on an armchair and is left alone with Loola, who begs her sister not to leave her alone with the man. Alone together the preacher drops his pious manner and demands that Loola tell him where her sister keeps the money she is saving to pay on their homes. After using violence, he forces the girl to get the money and give it to him, and when Loola tells him she will confess all to Rosanne, the preacher laughs and says that Rosanne will believe him in preference to her. However, he decides to send the girl to Atlanta and promises to follow and marry her. Roseanne and two of her neighbors return to the house and discover the loss of the money and a note from Leola stating that she stole it and run away. Thinking that some one forced her sister to take the money, Roseanne decides to follow her to Atlanta and get the truth. After several days sparce through the streets of Atlanta the girl is found in an old basement. In a dramatic scene the girl confesses all to Roseanne, who at first promises to forgive her, but when she makes the charges against the minister, the older sister denounces her and relieves to believe it. Weakened by hunger and her recent experiences Leola finally dies in the little basement room, but before she dies, her sister is convinced of the unfaithfulness and dishonesty of the preacher whom she had worshipped. The big some of the play comes in at the end of the second act when Roseanne returns to her home town on Sunday, goes to the church, and after announcing her sister's death, accuses the preacher as being responsible. At first, all of the members were for putting her out, but she finally gets a hearing and in the end the preacher is driven out. The last act is sort of anti-climax. The men follow the preacher out and decide that it should be lynched. After a long chase the preacher takes refuge in Roseanne's home. When she comes home he bags her to pave him and give him another chance. The mob comes while they are talking and Roseanne meets them at the door and sends them into the woods in one direction while she permits the minister to escape to the railroad in the other. Chrystal Hernd, as Roseanne, is exceptionally fine in her characterization. John Harrington as Ouco Brown, the minister, is not very effective, nor is Katherine Comegas as Lola. There are many colored performers who could give more effective performances in most of these parts, but the part of Roseanne could only be filled by an actress of the first rank.

These reflections are by way of introduction. All of these organizations have some lack. Those that are most largely supported by the rank and file of Negro musicians lack the wise and forceful direction that would make efficiency of the highest degree possible, coupled with fidelity to duty, an absolute requirement. The organization that possesses this quality of wise direction to the largest degree is handicapped because, an important element in lacking—the musician which is needed to make up a personnel which will be available to render service of the required degree. And this element is lacking because it appears not to be willing to acquire efficiency or to cultivate faithfulness to an assigned task. How many times have groups or colored players and singers engaged in hostilities of the highest class, or in amusement halls, where the elite congregate, given the highest degree of satisfaction at first only to gradually lose place in the good grades of employer and entertained, through slackness in attention to duty and through a failure to improve their musical offering. The Negro musician has seemed to feel that because his efforts yesterday were pleasing, the same thing can be served up to his teachers today and throughout infinity to the same appreciation. But it is not so. Constant dropping of water will wear R. BERRY'S Buffers Compound FOR WOMAN'S ELSE A Relief Compound for the list of peroxide treated compounds. Usually reduces the discharging and reduces pollutants into the air and improves the water. surely the juvenile team and common regulation of the most pleasing musical sound will grow uncontrollable and to the great anger of "Bobbing Annie and a laughlin" cannot be done in any appearance of this, and this is particularly true in music. The musician must grow and growth negro changes. Growth follows conscientious appli- tion to the everyday task. But the Negro musician has not followed this administration and has stayed in a groove which even dynamism has not allowed powerful enough to move him. Little of punctuality has also been a happening sin. Musicians engaged regularly in a job have not realised the need of being always on the alert to give the best there was in them to the effort of not only making good but of staying good. The inevitable result has followed. Negro musicians have left out in many places where at one time they had a monopoly. White laws only are seen on musicians' platforms where formerly the colored man was seen. The individual who reaches the point of believing or seeming to believe that he has attained the highest development possible, it matters not what might be his line of activity, in bad case. Perfection is never reached, and so the musician must, ever, keep up his effort to further develop his art. Any other attitude means retrogression and retrogression means eventual ruin. The Negro musician must wake up! It would be an easy master to cite the larvae made by musicians of other races into the territory which ornamentally belonged to the Negro but it unnecessary. Such organizations as the Paul Whitman, Ted Lewis, Vincent Lopez, and other orchestras have reached a plane of accomplishment higher to unattainable by the colored orchestra, but that doesn't mean it is an impossibility. What is required is that the Negro musician must develop his technical facility to the highest possible degree, cultivate his musical intelligence to its highest development, apply his imagination to the fertile stage of originality which he possesses, combine these qualities into producing work of the most effective culture—and then acquire a dependability that will mean something. It would be the wisest step ever taken by the Negro musician if he could rid himself of blamed perception and personal prejudice and unite the various scattered and ineffective elements of musical effort into one powerful and aggressive organization that has behind it an intelligence with ability to direct, giving to it loyal and individual support. This, would mean, naturally, the submergence of the individual for the benefit of the many—and at the same time it would mean the giving of honest and sincere cooperation to some individual who might be selected because of the possession of unquestioned qualities of leadership. AT THE LAFATETTE THEATRE "Speedy" Smith and Sam Cook are heading a well balanced anniversary bill at the Lafayette Theatre this week. Smith and Cook have gotten away from their Negro-Chinese act and now have an equally funny act on a more modern subject—the Harlem boogiewalk. Next to Smith and Cook, Elisech Florey, a second Belle Baker, gets the biggest applause. The Watta brothers also received a big welcome to the Lafayette in their first appearance here in more than three years. The other acts which make up the bill include the DeVilla Band, Eight Blue Devils, Variety Five, Foster and Foster and Orville and Frank. The principal attraction at this theatre for the week of January 14 will be "Birth-right," a photodrama from the novel, by the same name, written two years ago by T. B. Stribbling and which caused considerable discussion at the time it was published. The picture has been made by Oscar Micheaux and those who have seen advance showing declare it to be the best colored picture ever produced.

Echoing Secretary Hower's request that the laws affecting radio administration enacted in 1912 be revived, the President personally told Congress that new legislation regulating radio interference is needed. At present Secretary Hower is operating under a sort of "gentlemen's agreement" between commercial, governmental, private and amateur interests, reached last a long during the second national radio conference. 145,000 Radios en Parra. Washington, D.C.-The aliquity with which farmers have taken up radio is shown in a recent survey made by the United States Department of Agriculture which shows that there are approximately 40,000 radio sets on farms in 790 counties. This is an average of 51 sets to a county. Applying the average to 2,850 agricultural counties as a total, it is estimated that there are more than 145,000 sets on farms throughout the country. The county agents' estimates cover every state. In New York it is estimated that in 37 agricultural counties there are 5,502 farms on farma. The agent for Saratoga county, New York reported 2,500 farms. In 51 counties in Texas there are 3,065 sets. Forty-three counties in Illinois show 2,814 sets; 26 counties in Missouri, 2,861 sets; 42 counties in Ohio, 2,620 sets; 40 counties in Iowa, 2,463 sets, and 26 counties in Kansas, 2,054 sets. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Minnesota have 1,000 to 2,000 sets each. Federal weather forecasts, crop reports, and market quotations are now broadcast from 150 radio stations throughout the country. Special agricultural news in the form of so-called "Agrigramms" and talks as to various phases of the work of the Department of Agriculture are also sent out regularly from 250 stations. Unique Lead-In. The Fahnestock Electric Company of Long Island City, N. Y. has been supplying telephone companies in the United States and Canada with test connectors for over a period of twenty years. These connectors are in use in all parts of the country and are therefore subject to various climate conditions and temperatures. The fact that these connectors are now standard equipment on telephone lines would prove that they have given absolute satisfaction. One of these types of connectors, known as the No. 31, makes an ideal connection for joining the lead-in wire to the antenna. By mapping the larger connector over the antenna wire and inserting the end of the lead-in wire into the small connection is made, this eliminating the soldering and splicing of the two wires.

Last week we provided our readers to give them a series of sketches concerning all the men who are outstanding figures in the Pullman service, and we have chosen John Francis Cooper, president of the Pullman Porters' Athletic and Social Club, as the first whom we can consider worthy of mention. Mr. Cooper has been an employee of the Pullman Company for the past twenty years, and during that lengthy period of service he has performed his many sketches duties with so high a degree of skill and diligent care that he is very properly considered by the company as one of its best porters. What a man's fellow workers think of him is generally a good indication of the integrity of his character. Mr. Cooper is greatly esteemed by all who collaborate with him in his daily vocation. All have been deeply impressed by his sincerity, straight-forwardness, and exemplary mode of living, and he commands a respect that is absolutely unquestioned. To illustrate Mr. Cooper's popularity, very recently the nomination for officers of the Pullman Porters' Athletic and Social Club took place and as soon as his name was placed in nomination for the office which he now holds, not another candidate from the entire membership could be induced to run against him (a quite unusual occurrence in a colored organization as most will admit) so evident was it that he would sweep all before him. Mr. Cooper's standing and influence are not confined alone to the narrow limits of his chosen occupation, but extends to the community in which he resides. He owns the home in which he lives in Brooklyn, and his thrift, industry and high ideals are recognized and admired by all his neighbors. His son occupies a clerical position of importance with a large manufacturing concern in that city, and his good fortune is due in no small degree to the personal sacrifices and constant encouragement of the father who prevailed upon him to remain in school until he had acquired the necessary education to fit him for such a post. Mr. Cooper is an active member of Bridge Street Church. Brooklyn. The following are the societies with which he is identified: Widow's Son Lodge, No. 11, F. A., M., Mt. Marsh Chapter, No. & Medina Temple, No. 19. Gethsemane Commandery, No. & King David Consistency, No. 19, Alpha Lodge, No. 13, G. U. O. O. O.

I had never heard Hayes, until Thursday and almost all my preconceptions were written. I expected to hear a voice of great natural power and vitality, with a few rough edges here and there and a distinctly rugged, earthly quality. As a matter of fact, it is rather a small voice and the singing of Hayes is thoroughly sophisticated. I am not using "sophisticated" as a term of reproach. There is no sense in using it that way. I mean that to me the acquired skill and knowledge of Hayes is greater and more noteworthy than his natural equipment. In the band after the concert I heard very often the comment, "Of course he uses Negro Spirituals magnificently." A man does not necessarily know how to sing Negro music simply by bringing a Negro. Darma Taylor prompts me to say that one of the best Italian singers in the world today is a Canadian. I have even heard it said that almost anybody sings Italian music better than the Italian. But this is a side issue. The point I have in mind is that Roland Hayes didn't do his best singing in that half of his program devoted to Negro Spirituals and secular songs. His best number was Belloril's "Le Repos de la Sainte Famille." However, I must admit that he sang spirituels very well indeed; and, for my port, I would rather hear spirituels than almost any other music. And yet there is one particular trick into which spiritual singers fall which nearly drives me wild. They will persist in acting as if they were funny. Hayes, of course, knows better that that. At this point the building took fire, so please excuse the shortness of the column. Copyright (New York World) Press Publishing Company, 1924.

MN. 14TH MATINEE DAILY In The of Realm Music By Lucien H. White Since Roland Hayes returned to America two months ago, he has made a number of appearances on the concert stage, in various sections of the country, and both the critics and the public have amassed his genius and his art. He sang in New York on December 1 and captured the Metropolitan. He came back for a second recital (on Thursday, January 3, at Town Hall), and to say that he reheated the trumpet of his first appearance is putting it very mildly. It were far letter to say that he created new triumphs, for he infolded to an audience that filled every available seat in the orchestra, boxes and balcony, to which were added chairs that filled the stage, and then left many standing, new and unexpected beauty of tone, variety of color, excitement of technique, and clarity of interpretation. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS BY BOB SLATER Mr. Hayes presented a program differing from that of his first recital in that there were two groups of Negro songs, one Spiritual, the other secular. Two other groups sung by Mr. Hayes were made up of songs by Handel, Cocini, Baldi, Berthelemy, Schubert, Dante and Santosigo. Thompson and Cowan are at B. F. Keith's Palace Theatre, New York City. The singing of these groups was a revelation of the development attained by this young Negro artist. There was first of all, authority of utterance. No completely is Mr. Hayes master of his art that there is never any steaming for effect. Simply, tenderly, with passion, yet with power, he gave to each of these songs an atmosphere of sympathy and understanding that brought his hearers into an intimate aura of pleasant and agreeable association with composer and singer alike. Moss and Frye are at the Columbia Theatre, Davenport, IA. Rosamond Johnson and Co., are at the State Lake Theatre, Chicago, IL. There was a wider range of metal and expression in this second program than was contained in the first, and this gave the singer need to call upon vocalistic resources that were not used in the premier retali. But this additional tax only served to accentuate the artistic growth and technical development of the singer. Without coarseness and without apparent effort, Mr. Hayes gave power and rugged strength where it was demanded, maintaining through all the prompt a transcendent element of sweetness and purity of tone quality. Cook and Smith are at the Lafayette Theatre, New York City. Williams and Taylor are at the Temple Theatre, Detroit, Mich. The reception accorded him by the audience was orational in its intensity. When he walked out on the platform to sing the first group it was several minutes before he could proceed, to cordially was he greeted. After each number the appreciation of the audience was almost embarrassing to the singer. Epores were grciously accorded after each group, and in two instances Mr. Hayes had to repeat numbers in groups. Rucker, and Perrin are at Pantages Theatre, Des Moines, Ia. Shelton Brooks is at the Able Opera House, Easton, Pa. Clifford and Bailey are at the Jefferson Theatre, Auburn, N. Y. The first group included "Wherever you walk" from "Semelu" (Handel), "Amarillar" (Scecini), "All'Aquisto di Ghoria" (Seacattli), and "Le Repos de la Sante Familia" (Berlioz), to which was added, as an encore, "It was a swer and his las" (Roger Quilter). The second group opened with "Adelacie" (Beethoven), "Du bist de ruh" (Schubert), "L'immersion au voyage" (Digante), and "Persian Poem: Omar Khayyam" (Santoliido). The encore in this group is Schubert's "Die forlieve." McKissick and Haliday are at Pantages Theatre, Seattle, Wash. Sandy Burns and Co. are at the Lincoln Theatre, New York City. Plantation Days Co. are at Host's Theatre, Long Beach, Cal. Then came the Negro weige. The first group was made up of Spirituals—"Go down, Mice" and "Deep River," arranged by Burleigh. "I've got a role." Mr. Hayes own arrangement, which was repeated in response to the insistent demand of the audience, and "Stal away," arranged by Lawrence Brown. "So enthusiastic was the audience that two encounters had to be "given Every time I feel the spirit" (Lawrence Brown), and "Nobody knows the trouble I see" (Burleigh). Bill Robinson is at Proctor's, Troy, and Albany, N. Y. Tabor and Green are at the Palace Theatre, Pooria, Ill. The final groom was of secular, Negro songs, the first of which was the weird "Water Boy," the convict song arranged by Avery Robinson, "Don't it rain," which had to be repeated, "O rock me, Julie" and "Scandalize my name" all H. T. Burleigh's arrangements, concluded the program. But even with all this plebora of song effort the audience refused to be satisfied until Mr. Hayes came back and sang, unaccompanied, that heart-searching melody, "The Crucifixion" the theme of which was given by Major N. Clark Smith. Greenlee and Drayton are at the Majestic Theatre, Paterson, N. J. Howard and Brown, with the Hollywood Rescue, New York City. Jim and Jack are at the Allegheny Theatre, Philadelphia, Pa. Mr. Hayes is to sing at the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, on Saturday evening, January 19; and his final New York concert before returning to Europe will be at Carnegie Hall on Tuesday afternoon, February 5. Harris and Holly are at Pantagca Theatre, Denver, Col. Dixie Four are at the Palace Theatre, Rockford, Ill. Naomi and Boys are at Proctor's Theatre, Troy, N. Y. Clarence, Dotson is at the Orpheum Theatre, Des Moines, In. Austin and Delaney are at Loew's Young Street Theatre, New York City, Winfried and Brown are at the Dudley Opera House, Boston, Mass. Among the notables present at Town Hall on Thursday evening, January 3, to hear Roland Hayes, was Heywood Brown of the New York World. In theaterroom behind the stage, after the recital, I met Mr. Brown and during the few moments of converse we had, he remarked that this had been his first hearing of the singing of Hayes, and that, he regarded it as a wonderful effort. That this was a sincere expression is evidenced by the fact that in the World of January S. Mr. Brown devoted his entire column, "It Seems To Me" (a literary symposium of distinguished merit), to telling his readers what he thought of Roland Hayes. Davis and Chadwick are at Kotth Theatre, Jersey City, J. J. Carter and Cornish are at the Ospheum Theatre, Omaha, Neb. Farrell and Hatch are at Pantages Theatre, San Diego, Cal. Mr. Broun's comments are unusual, and, coming from him, possess an authority and interest greater than attaches to the writings of the regular representatives of music events. Breacle of this, the readers of this column are given an opportunity to read the Broun article in full, as follows: Exposition Jubilee Four are at the Binghamton Theatre, Binghamton, N. Y. Watta Bros. are at the Kafayette Tehatre, New York City. Eddie Green with "All in Fun" Co. is at teh Gayety Theatre, St. Louis, Mo. And Hayes sang of Jesus and it seemed to me that this was what religion tried to be. It was a mood instead of a creed, an emotion rather than a doctrine. There was nothing to define and nothing to argue about. Each person took what he and felt whatever he had to feel and so there was no heresy. And as nothing else music itself is a miracle.

Half of the people who named Hayes were black and half were white and while the mood of the song they were all the same. They shared together the close silence. One question grouped them. And at the end it was a single sob. "He never said a manbling word," sang Hayes and we knew that he spoke Curtis, whose voice was clear enough to cross all the seas of water and of land. It was inevitable that the newspaper reports the next day should speak of Hayes as "a Negro singer." In an important sense this is not quite correct, for he is essentially "a singer." Limitedly many can be no quarrel with "Nagro singer." Mr. Hayes makes up of all the favorite devices of no Nordics quite impossible. It is customary to tell urban races single, all the worst in each strain comes out and yet when memory of more apparent the component is made. "Oh, of course it's his white suit, which compares for the ability." Richard Hayes is very dark bronze indeed, his body tight when he heed. No Nordic credion can be allowed in praise. This manifestation of grim belongs to Hayes and to his pawn people. There is probably no doubt that Hayes is hard and stooped, the greatest of all the pawn, but he is not no accident. Before him there came earlier the war. Here there was the militant and then there was Hayes.

Much has been paid and written on "What must I do to be saved?" It will sense good people must answer this message better instead. "What must I do to be saved?" We do this because it will we, hence, arouse good people more strenu- ber, social leaders, and numbers of who are counted among the best people of every community, yet who fail to engage in the analysis which make for the betrayment of the community where they live—to a consciousness of the peril to their souls occasioned by indifference to known duties. Many good people, people of wealth, culture and rebellion, are in danger of hell's culture, not for doing that which is evil, but for leaving undone that which is good. Answering the question: "What must I do to be saved?" let me be—NOTHING. 1 Do Nothing To Let Jesus into Your Life Despite the fact that He came to seek and to save the lost, Jesus will enter into no man's life who will not invite Him in. Though He knows constantly, if you do not open the door, He will never come in. If He comes in, you are lost. 2. Do Nothing To Cure the Ils of Earth. How presubstant those Ils—commercial Ils, political Ils, industrial Ils, and Ils racial! Since time and space forbid a discussion of all these Ils, let me call special attention to the Ils of race relations. "What must I do to be host?" Do nothing to cure the Ils of this country as they relate to its white and black citizenship. I wonder how many of us have thought our personal salvation depends upon the minority, persistence and enthusiasm with which we labor to bridge the chasm between the white people and the black people of this country who must live by their side? If you will reflect upon the tyrannies, prostitution, exploiting and other unfair treatment under which the Negro lives, and will consider that in proportion as he is able the Negro resents and hates back, you will decide that any man who fails to do his bit in promoting better relations between the races endangers his own soul. If you are a white man and engaged in the investment or enforcement of laws to keep the Negro from enjoying the full measure of citizenship enjoyed by yourself, you are making the most positive investment in your eternal destruction. Even if you have had no active part in such injustices, you still cannot escape unless you have lifted your voice against them. You are guilty just the same for having allowed them without your protest. Look at the sorrowful face of Jesus as he says, "Inasmuch as you did it not to the least of these (Negroes) ye did it unto me," and get the evidence that doing nothing to remedy the racial cuts of our beloved U. S. A. is a sure way to be lost. But the white man is not the only American upon whom responsibility rests in the matter of race relations. The Negro, too, is equally responsible. If he fails to do his part towards bringing about better relations between the races, he is doubly lost—lost here and lost here after. Since our best welfare, from the standpoint of earthly existence, depends upon cultivating the good will of our white neighbors and peace with all mankind, and since this is also a condition precedent to eternal salvation, let us, men and women of my race, rest assured that we shall lose much in the life that now is and infinitely more in the life to come. Grace Church of Harles Rev. A. C. Garner, the pastor of Grace Congregational Church of Harlem, Inc. spoke last Sunday from Genesee 15.1. Theme, "Our God a Shield." The speaker dwell upon providential protection for the real believer. Protection against nature; protection against evil; protection against calamities; and protection against self. An invitation was extended to those re-entitled to accept the protection God offered man through His Church. The following united with the church: Mrs. Joseph Thomas, Mrs. Dixie Morgan, Mrs. Lina Holsey, Dr. George H. Haynes, G. Edmond Haynes, Jr., and Albert Vickers. The choir under Fred J. Work, Jr. is now robed and makes good music. Nelson B. Scott, tenor, said "Go down Moore," effectively. The concert given by Mrs. Thomas H. It last week was an excellent affair. The Shakespearean readings by Mr. Knight were particularly good. The Sunday Bible School under Mrs. N. H. Scott is beginning to launch out into bigger things. Two questionnaires on the Bible and Demonstrational History, respectively, promise to create much enthusiasm for January studies. The pastor announced a week's rest from meetings at the church. It was a pleasing announcement, as the church has been going day and night for six weeks. The Rally of the Discovery Leaders were charged to get better the officers are expecting great attention of these seventy people who are found to call upon members and friends for aid. The time set is a day following Lincoln's birthday. Miss Dunstan of Christchurch, C.C., Miss Wintaker of Savannah, O.C., and Miss Pelloch of Atlanta, were among visitors Sunday. Aby Anan Susan搬迁 January 15 at 3:25 p.m. St. Johns is expanding a farm to accept only in the largest turn to which all of the owners of the city are invited. Sunday at 3:25 p.m.猪肉 to men only; the Northern Broadway Quaint in Huntington, Va. will stay in this service. Tuesday evening January 15, carnes to the young people. All the young people's organizations of the city are invited to the service. The assistant pastor will preach at the overflow service in the lecture room Sunday morning and in the evening. Dr. Johnson will deliver one of his strongest evangelistic messages in the main auditorium, while the pastor will preach his lament, german on "The Valley of Dry Breeze" in the lecture room. Only those who have not heard it are invited. Beginning with Monday's night night service at, which time both the main authorities and bounty were filled to tapacity, the work has given every sign of prosperity. Dr. Oliver prescheduled the sermon apatirs, while Dr. Carr prescheduled to the overflow downstairs. The Week of Prayer has had its share of results from the effects of good hard earnest work in the religious field. Dr. Oliver has carried this work on, with the assistance of his member, an he reaped a wonderful harvest. He will continue the service through the week. Last week a soul was brought to Christ every night. Dr. Oliver filled his pupil both morning and evening on the first Sunday in the New Year. At eleven o'clock his tent was "Set thy affection on thing; above." In this sermon, the preacher told of how much good can be done by individuals who have high ideals, and hate the lower class of things. In the evening sermon was, "I have put on the coat, how shall I take it off?" Illustrating the cost as sin, and teaching the people how to take off this coat. At communion services, which were observed at three o'clock, Rev. Austin, pastor of Little Mt. Zion, preached the sermon. Salem Quartet, with Mrs. Elise Benson Bourke at the organ, rendered beautiful and appropriate music. Mrs. Bourke is now organist director of the choir at Rush, and under her supervision it is hoped that the music work will take a decided leap upward. Miss Helen Ganzaway was solicited for Sunday. Her work was beautifully done. The dedication of the pulpit furniture, including a baptismal font, took place at four o'clock. This has been donated by thirteen members of the church. A plate bearing the inscription I will beached in an appropriate place on the fountain, so that the future generations may know who helped in the struggle. First Emmanuel Church At the eleven o'clock services on Sunday, Pastor Bolden delivered a most unique sermon to the many who were present. His text was: "There is one body and one spirit, even as we are called in one hope of your calling. One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all and in you all." Ephesians, 4:4, 6. Pastor Bolden said. Every minister is confronted to-day with the idea of what to teach the people. Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, wrote the above text, as a friendly letter to the people of Ephesus. He was trying to but one thought in their minds of unity. Not only with their fellow man, but with God. Paul believed that the people were as children in the dark, they were feeling after God. They were not conscious of the God within themselves. Paul, through his letter, was opening their minds, preparing them for the unity with the Father. Naturally they were slow to this wakening; they had been taught by different doctrines than what Paul was teaching. But they were an obedient people, and that is what is needed most of all in the Christian churches today—obedient people, people who are willing to take Christ at His word that He is the Son of God, and that He can and will give us life everlasting. And then, too, faith is another thing needed. Jesus Christ said, "If ye had faith as big as the grain of a mustard seed, ye would lay to you mountain, he ye removed and cast into the sea, and it would be done." And then hear Him say again to those who failed in their undertaking. "Oh ye of little faith." Let us as Christians today exemplify the truth as we know them, that God is with us. Believe in and work for Universal Brotherhood. Testify to the great truth the Jesus Christ is God, the only ruler, only Potentate, the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords." Sunday-school was opened at the mutual hour by Sept. Hagana. Owing to the delay in receiving our quarterly, Sept. Hagana conducted a general review of the Bible and had the children repeat parts of the Enmanuel Creed. At 4:30 the Literary Society convened. Mrs. Daisy Coleman had changed of the program, as follows: publication, Louise Williams; dust, Mr. Coldman and Mr. Townsend; reception, Alas; Parter; reception, Cocatella Magna; Miss D. Small; publication, George Scott; trim, Alas; Parter, Louise Williams; and Cocatella Magna; poke, Mr. Coleman; remarks by Mr. Richard Manuel Bodkin. At 8:30, Patsy Bodkin gave a short document on John Rif of Solitude-Poring Gould, who wrote the languge "Oward, Christian Bodkin," and "Now the day is over." Disney was served during the day by the members of the Magnetic Circle and he was given the opportunity. "THE DAWN OF 1924" HEN WE LOOK BACK ON THE RECORDS of 1923, there is so much thanks due the public that it cannot be fully expressed here. In the past year of 1923, we have been so fortunate in constructing and maintaining what is known as the Renaissance Casino that we cannot but feel more than grateful for the patronage and business support with which the public has favored us, and with the beginning of 1924, we extend our heartiest wishes for a prosperous New Year and grateful reverence for the favors of 1923. The path of progress which we have made during the past year as a community, is one which is such as to make all of us feel very proud. In this respect, the Surce Realty & Holding Company, Inc., Reach House Cleaning Company, Inc., and subsidiaries, modestly feel glad that we have contributed our quota to that community progress; contributed our quota of faithful service—a service that we are glad to modestly say our patrons have felt satisfied with. For this year of 1924, we sincerely hope and will endeavor to render to the community that service which we have so faithfully given in the past—a service which has been mutually satisfactory to our many friends and patrons. Sarcs Realty & Holding Co., Inc. AND SOLIDARIES COMPANIES (WILLIAM H. BOACH, President). The main charge was to provide the care of the sick and to support the work of the staff. Mr. Browne was the principal of the institution and had to manage it in a well organized way. The main charge was to provide it in capacity and during the weeks in the orphanage, to receive the orphanage donations and to assist the children who died in the orphanage with care, to provide and to support the staff by their presence and program. He worked with the board of trustees and with the painter. In the lecture room, Dr. Brown organized a junior congregation composed of the baptized children of the church and Sunday school. Officers corresponding with those of the senior church were selected and installed. Dr. Brown is impressed with the beginning and looks that the congregation will constantly grow and be fruitful of much good Parish are asked to cooperate. At the close of the services, the funeral of John S. Busty was held, which delayed the opening of the Sunday school. However, the attendance was quite large. We were favored with the presence of Dr. P. F. Anderson, who was sent by the Society for the Treatment and Prevention of Tuberculosis. He gave an interesting talk on health which was listened to with marked attention. Dinners will be served every Thursday in the lecture room of the church from 3 p.m. Next Sunday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock will be baptism and Holy Communion. The sermon will be preached by Rev. Oliver, pastor of Rush Memorial Church. Music furnished by Rush Memorial chair. Nonday prayer meeting will be held every day during the revival from 12 to 1 p.m. under auspices of the Praying Band. Dr. Shaw will presach every night at 9 o'clock. Thirty-five persons were received into the church during the day. A donation of $30 was received from the Ladies Auxiliary of the Clubmen's Beneficial League to the building round. Salem Church and L Preaching at both the morning and evening services last Sunday, Rev. Colton delivered two stirring messages. As is usually, the case extra accommodations had to be provided for the large member that attended. The theme of the morning discourse was "War a good Warfare," inspired by 1st Timothy, 1:18. The pastor urged the necessity of preparing for the battle to be fought during the next twelve months. The forces of God and the forces of ungrievousness are arrayed against each other. All mankind is a member of either one of these armies—either a friend or soe to Christ. While discussing war the pastor ventured to say that in temporal things war is ultimately deserved to an everlasting termination as matters shall be amicably adjusted by arbitration without resort to warfare. The topic of the evening sermon was "Come for all things are ready," found in St. Lukas, 14th chapter and 7th verse. This was a fitting one for the communion service. A strong appeal was made for us to leave the ranks of the men and women who feign friendship to the Christ and come to the Grant Supper. At both services many thronged to the altar indicating their intention either to lead a new life or to return to the cause which they had deserted. The music rendered by the choir directed by Rudolph Grant was much appreciated. The choir is leading the singing at the revival meetings each night during the week. George Simmons, tenor, will be the soloist. Among the sick of the church are Mrs. Mary Massey, 2112 Madison avenue, William Pickens, 212 West 133rd street, and Mrs. Hardy, 511 Lenox avenue.

Brown, seemed to link the service with the watch nights service, in that his themes were headlights in the beginning of the year. The morning theme, "Too Near Shore," was a friendly, yet spiritual command to launch out, depicting the many advantages of a secular nature to be gained. Spiritually, it showed the many battles to be encountered, fought and won, the glorious victories to be attained, and the hastening of the Kingdom of God into the hearts of men. While, a cappel to the morning subject, was a preparation for the event meant in that service. The解答 to be met, the perplexing problem he solved, disappointments that will come in the 'unchanging out', furnished a fitting salutation to the day's worship. The Rev. Mr. Lewis of Dumfries, British West Indies, was introduced at the morning service. At the close of the sermon, infant baptism was administered.

George Shippen Stark on the first Sabbath of the year. The morning's meditation was taken from Israel 31:5, "As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts defended Jerusalem."

The spirit of the times is efficiency and still greater efficiency! Thousands of women must work, and in addition to the peculiar gifts which the girl of today brings to her job, she must have the same skill which men, through generations in the world of work, have acquired. No stenographer should be satisfied until she has reached the highest point of skill in her possession, and it is for this reason that we lay so much stress here in the educational department of the "U" upon the class in speed stenography. This is the class in which to get the tough edges of modicre ability rubbed off—to attain the highest degree of speed stenography. The class meets on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from eight to ten. The educational department also offers classes in coquet beading, lamp shade making, French flower making, correct English, public speaking and parliamentary law, English and American literature and stenography. If you want the New Year to bring some increase to your mind and spirit comeback and take with you the educational director and select some course for study for the coming months.
