But the city is not plainly apparent that feeding the people is not the real purpose of these places. The republic will be all sorts of sandwiches and sea food, is only a blind for the real business of selling hootch, for in nearly every instance there are doors opening into a rear room in which located a bar counter over which nothing passes but high-powered hootch, some of it calculated to send its consumer on an immediate journey into the realm of irresponsibility.

Announcement of this figure was made on January 11 by the Census Bureau in a preliminary summary of the decimal census of wealth debt and taxation. Frankie Jerome, well known prizenger of the Broux, died in Bellevue Hall on Sunday night, January 13, as a result of over-exertion in a fight with Bird Taylor at Madison Square Garden the previous Friday night.

Inspector THOMAS MEDONALD Capers Not Connected With Newsstand at 133d St. and 7th Ave., Writes Mrs. Gary In the account given last week of the killing of Joseph Capers by policeman Harry F. Agard at the corner of 133rd street and Seventh avenue, it was stated that, according to reports, Capers had "formerly conducted a newstand at 133rd street and Seventh avenue." This statement, it appears, was incorrect, as Mrs. Maude Gary, general manager, Company 203 West 133rd street, writes that "on built the newstand and it and always has been its owner. She declares that "at no time has Capers ever conducted it." HARLEM RETAILERS MAKING SPLENDID WINDOW DISPLAYS That the Negro is beginning to realize the need of proper display for their windows, may, be seen from the splendid style of window display several of the local businesses have adopted during the past year. The colored business block on the eastside fourth avenue, between 15th and 136th streets, has been a model in showing the value of a proper display in the windows. One store in this block particularly, the Mine Allone Doll Manufacturing company, has received a great deal of praise for its artistic window display. The R L. Lollard Corner Shop and the W and W. Jewelry Store also have well displayed windows. The artistic display of hats at the Cecile Shop, 2257 Sevyth avenue, has also won much commendation from the public. The North Harlem uses colored hats in a better effect than this. The color scheme and window display of the Mine Anna L. Anderson Beauty Shop further down the avenue, at 128th street, is also very good. Then there is Dr. Boutte's Drug Store at 137th street and Seventh avenue. His window is always tastefully decorated and the goods properly displayed. It is interesting to note that these stores are among the most noticeable of the race in their respective lines. Other retail stores operated by the company could take example and see to it that their windows are always clean and their goods properly displayed. COOPAH & RUMMLE JAN. 1, 1914 47 WATER ST. DURHAM, CT. First Modern Apartments To Be Erected In-Harlem Homes for 270 Families to Be Provided in-Eight Houses Under Construction at 109-141 West 144th Street, as Result of Efforts Put Forth by The New York Age. What promises to be the most practical step toward improving conditions in Harlem, has just been started by Coogan-Runkle, Inc., builders of 47 West 42nd street, who are constructing eight modern apartment houses at 109-141 West 144th street. These buildings will contain about 270 modern up-to-date three and four-room apartments and will be ready for occupancy early this summer. Modern plumbing, new oil fuel method of heating, and the latest thing in electrical equipment, installed by the Prompt Electrical Company, will be the feature of these new apartments. The construction of these homes was brought about through the efforts of The New York Age, which has continually pointed out that overcrowding was responsible for many of the evil people suffer from. Repeated efforts had previously been made to induce capital to build modern up-to-date apartments in this section. This is the first time apartments have been formed for Negroes in New York. Coogan-Runkle, Inc., the builders have a liberal attitude toward the Negro race and expect to employ as many colored mechanics and laborers in the construction of these homes as conditions will permit. The remals will also be very moderate. A picture, from the architect's drawing of these apartments, showing the entire frontage is represented herewith.

Burke, Director-General of the Catholic Board for Mission Work Among Colored People. For forty years, or nearly all of the period of his priesthood, Monsignor John E. Burke has devoted his efforts to work among colored people. He is now director general of the Catholic Board of Mission Work among the Colored People. He was ordained to the priesthood forty-five years ago. He opened his first mission for colored people in the Church of St. Benedict the Moor, West 33rd street, and amused a strong feeling of opposition among colored ministers, who held a mass meeting and denounced Father Burke as one who would re-enslave the Negro race, but their action was premature. Father Burke has done more, is declared by those familiar with his accomplishments, than any other white man in the country for the uplifting of the colored people. In Columbia, the paper published in interest of the Knights of Columbus, the following article concerning the work of Father Burke was recently published, and The Age takes pleasure in reproducing it for benefit of its readers.

Msgr. John E. Burke, Director General of the Catholic Board for Director General of the Catholic Board on Mission Work Among Colored People Mission Work Among Colored People. A venerable-looking man is Monsignor Burke. Forty-five years ago he was ordained to the priesthood, and forty of those years he has spent working for the Negro. At the close of the Civil War in 1863 Catholic Negroes numbered about 200,000, a little over 4 per cent. of the total colored population of four and a half millions. Those Catholic Negroes were mostly slaves old by the atlantic slave owners and Negroes were twelve millions, while colored Catholics number less than 250,000, or 2 per cent. Negro catholicity has not kept pace with Negro growth the fault for this has not with the colored man, for until recent years the church practically left him to shift for himself. That so many Negroes tend to the Faith in spite of the authority of the Church is one of the brightest pages in the annuals of American Catholics. The construction of these homes was brought about through the efforts of The New York Age, which has continually pointed out that overcrowding was responsible for many of the evils the people suffer from. Repeated efforts had previously been made to induce the construction of new housing in this section. This is the first time apartments have been built on a large scale for Negroes in New York.

In interest of the Knights of Columbus, of Father Burke was recently published, giving it for benefit of its readers. When Father Jurke took charge of a little Negro church in Bleecker Street forty years ago, conditions for the black race looked gloomy. As late as 1907 when the Catholic Board was organized, there were in the United States only; thirty Negro missions with resident priests. Five thousand children were receiving education under Catholic auspices, but there were no schools for secondary education, and all of the existing institutions were poorly equipped and unattractive. Today about 200 priests are working among the Negroes; sixty-nine new parishes have been added and 24,000 students are enrolled. Teaching in these schools are 700 students, almost 400 of whom are colored. The Catholic Board spends about $55,000 annually for educational work. This is a more pitrance when we consider the million-dollar appropriations of single Protestant denominations, and there are more Catholics in the United States than there are members of any single Protestant sect. Father Burke's work has been retarded greatly by lack of a colored clergy Father Joseph A. John, L. A. M., who was ordained in New York City last June, is the fifth colored priest in the United States to-day. But brighter days are coming. The Fathers of the twentieth Word have established St. Anthony's Church in Louis, Mass, for the education of colored young men for the priesthood. Although started under a great handicap for lack of funds, this college has just completed a successful third year with twenty-five splendid students. There are three communities of colored sisters working in the mission field. The oldest of these was founded in 1827, and the latest in 1917. Perhaps of all people working for Negro betterment Monsignor Burke is the most hopeful. He sees better things in store for the colored race than the Negro ever hoped for, and he sees them through the Catholic faith. He sees the dawn of the awakening of the entire Catholic conscience of the United States something he has hoped to pursue, and worked for, for the past forty years. Prejudice is, of course, the greatest obstacle to the work of all those engaged in the Negro mission field.

Not so many years back the Negro musician was almost alone in the activi- ty of supplying music for the leading recreational centers and for the most prominent individuals of New York's ultra social set. In the leading host- lies and in the most exclusive homes of the city, it was nearly always a group of colored singers and players who were engaged to furnish entertainment for the guests. Their style of playing and singing was a novelty and furnished an unusual thrill even to the most blase and jaded hearer.

Boutte, formerly a captain attached to Gen. Perkling staff in France as Intelligence Officer, now proprietor of the Boutte Pharmacy, 7th avenue at 137th street, was regarded as the man most apt to rehabilitate the Post and bring to it a prestige it has not enjoyed in the less than two years of its existence which the short, has been rather turbulent. Accordingly, when the balloting for commander of the Post was finished it was found that Dr. Boutte had received a majority over Harold Simkell who had been nominated in opposition by former Post commander Thomas H. Walters. He thereby elected commander served for about two hours, and then, to the surprise and consternation of members of the Post, he arose and resigned, firmly, and positively, refusing to reconsider his action. Cause For Resigning. The motive for, the commander's resignation, according to members of the Post, is to be found in the fact that when the Post ballotted for representative to the County Organization, former Commander Walters was elected. This action was repugnant to a considerable element of the membership, it is alleged, because Walters 1923, while he was office on March 21, 1923, while he was the nine months to serve, as a result of his death he had used the office to benefit himself financially. It was alleged that he had forced unemployed and disabled vetters who were entitled to compensation from the State of New York to pay over to him a portion of the money they received in return for the signing of their vouchers. Another charge against Walters was that he had proselytized members for the Chas. Young Post by refusing to claim for compensation for vetitions, they agreed to join the Post, and this method was objectifiable to many of the members of the organization. At the election last week Walters was present, it is alleged for the first time since his disposal. He took an active part in the deliberations, and is said to have nominated Simmeltkjaer for the commandership in opposition to Boutte, but after the latter had been elected, Walters is reported to have made a speech congratulating and enclosing the new head. When nomination of adjutant were made, John H. Smith, a employee of the Rockefeller Foundation, received by the element supporting Capt. Boutte and he received a substantial majority over Walters' candidate, Grey, who had been nominated by Simmeltkjaer. Bell Was Weak Opponent. Walters' activity in the meeting came to a head when he was named as candidate for county representative in opposition to the late Commander William Service Bell, who, as vice commander, succeeded to the Post head after Walters had been deposed. Mr. Bell was not strong enough as a candidate, given Walters was given a majority of the votes recalled. When it became evident that Walters had regained so much of his away in the Post activities, Dr. Bouteille cast a bomb by immediately tendering his resignation, but he tempered his action as much as possible by declaring that pressure of personal business was that controlling factor in his action. These by motion of Walters, Simmeljee was elevated to the position made vacant by the resignation Members of the Post, who are opposed to the statement of Walters in the good graces of the organization say they are a sinister appeal in action at this particular time. It is recalled that Walters' disposal in March 1923, came as a result of alleged irreg satisfies its connection with any administration of the State's compensation to unemployed and disabled veterans. Now, they point out, the distribution of the State Bonus to world war veterans is imminent, and this is looked upon with significance in that a good sum of money probably $50,000, will be distributed through the Charles Young Port, and naturally there will be many durages in this connection to be performed by the officers. It is rumored that Post Adjutant John H. Wilson nanda resigning al- so unless an off finds that he will be in a position to avoid criticism or contam- ination in handling of the Post affairs. A well-defined rumor indicates an undercurrent of strong indignation among members, both those present and absent, because of the election of Walt- ters as representative. Simmalkiser's Statement In a statement to The Age, the newly elected head of the Post, Commander Sigmalkeljær, declared that the officers elected are not allied with either those who supported Walters in his fight for place or those who opposed him, and that their intention is to build up the Chas. Young Post into one of the strongest and best organizations in the American Legion. He also said that though Walters had been deposed for alleged financial irregularities, he was ever really proven against him. With reference to the State Bonus, Connander Simmelkjaer said that a clause in the legislative enactment provide that the distribution to individuals is to be made through the committees of Posts and that the sum to be distributed through the Harlem Post approximating $30,000, undoubtedly was an influencing factor in the effort of Walters to get back into power the organization and to dedicate it to Dr. Boutte's help to save the Post from criticism from being discredited by officials in the County and State Organizations where were familiar with the conditions led to Walters' deposit in 1923. The roster of officers, as final result of the balloting, is as follows Harold I.immelkjaer commander and husar; E. A. Burrell, 1st vice commissioner; McDons'd Spencer, 2nd vice commander; Dr. Lisle Carter, 3rd commander; John H Wilson, adviser; Edward Lewin, assistant adviser; B.

It has changed its aspect, but not its purpose. The front bar has been taken out and the room opening to the street is made into a bench emporium, where hamburger and hot dog sandwiches are served. But in the rear, in what was formerly a kind of the former barroom, firstly customers are supplied with every kind of drink they crave for. And it is operated openly and branely, for any passerby, at almost any hour of the day or night, can glance in from the sidewalk in passing, and the inner door will be wide open, disclosing a crowd of customers jamming the little room almost to suffocation, eager lapping up and swallowing the various poisonous concoctions shown in the window, and the same light is to be observed, with more or less freedom, according to the inclination of the bootlegging proprietor, at any of a score or more places on Lenox avenue. Hootch Seller Is Heartless. The heartlessness of the average bootlegger is well illustrated by the attitude taken by them recently when one Cleveland Miller, familiarly known as "Rockey," a former employee of the saloon above referred to, died. The man died on New Year's Eve, as a result, it is alleged, of illness following continued drinking of the hooch sold by his former employer. The funeral was held the following Thursday, and although the poor fellow was destitute at left no assistance was received there was no assistance of any sort given by any of the bootleggers, not even from his old employer. Miller had been a member of Company D, 369th Regiment, and it is said that old comrades of that organization took care of the body. Police activities have taken several unexpected turns during the past week. First there came a general order in which a criminal dead line was allowed to be established, requiring the police force to see to it that no known criminals were allowed to establish themselves in the district from the Battery to 125th street. Harlem objected strenuously to being left open to the activities of the lawless bandits, and the Bronx Joined in the protest. But quickly following this order, came a disclosure that drove it from the public mind. Police Commissioner Enright ammonied those who thirteen Postons, the detectors, and a number of captains, lieutenants and sergeants, because of their alleged failure to enforce the prohibition laws. Every inspector in the city, in two in charge of traffic squads, was included in the charges handed down by the Commissioner and they were ordered to trial before Chief Police Inspector William J. Lahkey. Inspectors Fape Charges. The inspectors against whom charges have been preferred, with their districts, are William A.-Coleman, 1st; Edn H. West, 2nd; Thomas McDonald, 3rd; James F. Bolan, 4th; Thomas T. Ryan, 5th; George C. Lieber, 6th; Wm. A. Bailey, 7th; Byron R. Sackett, 8th; Thomas F. Walsh, 9th; George R. Wakefield, 10th; John P. Sweney, 11th; Thomas J. Kelley, 12th, Charles A. Formosa, 13th. This action was taken by Commission of Justice after he had issued orders to the police officials requiring them to clean up the illicit traffic by bootleggers, which orders he said, had been red out. The General Order No. 10 July 11, 1923, after the Mullen-Gage law had been repealed by the State Assembly, reminded the police that they were still charged with enforcement of the Volstead Act. The second, General Order No. 24, dated August 6, called for a report on all disorderly places, and required their suppression by November 1, or charges would be preferred against them. Cooperates With The Age. Then, on December 31, Enright issued a memorandum to the Chief Inspector, calling for complete data on every place suspected of selling liquor illegally, stating that charges would be preferred against the commanding officer of each inspection district who and the General Order Nov. 19 and 24. The sweeping charges now filed against those officials is the consequent result. Commenting on the situation, Com- Harlem Is Not Dry!

The bootlegging clique which controls activities on Lenox avenue seems to be branching out, from all accounts. The latest report is that Hyman, one of the biggest hoofchair dealers in Harlem, is associated with one Levy in taking over the Cafe De Luxe, the former proprietors of which engaged Jack Johnson as its manager, but which failed to show any profit under his management. Levy appeared before License Commissioner Glazmayer on Tuesday and made request for a license for the place, which he proposes to operate at the DeLuxe Club, and his petition was opposed by Police Captain Mullooney of the 38th Precinct, who told the Commissioner that the application had been disapproved, and by Fred R. Moore, editor of The Age, who declared that the people of Harlem objected to the proposed club because of the belief that it would be a detriment and tend to demoralize the community. The Commissioner took the petition under advisement and restrained decision. THE WORK FOR RACIAL JUSTICE (Onslaved from Ptrt Page) the Negro we must admit that it certainly cannot be reconciled with the teachings of Catholicity. In spite of civil-rights bills that have been placed on the statue books of several northern states the Negro is still insulted, and humiliated by practically all public hotels, restaurants and theatres. It is almost impossible for the colored man or woman to get service in most of our hotels and restaurants. Why? The chief argument of those opposed to treating the Negro as a human being is that to do so will encourage miscegement. A ridiculous and false presumption from the writer's point of view. Catholics and Jews not only eat together in public places, but they intermingle socially as well. Mixed marriages between persons of these beliefs are very rare. And most assuredly the distinguishing mark of color would be a stronger detriment to intermarriage between white and black than is that of religion between the Catholic and that of others. Not being allowed to eat in public hotels and restaurants is one of the things that the most class of colored people may not keep, not only for the humiliation it implies but also for inconvenience it entails. Any number of gases could be cited where respectable, educated colored $_{p}$-pled to go without a meal for the simple reason that they could not buy serice at any price. America is the only country in the world that draws the color line. The minute a black American leaves his own country, the land that he fought for and died for, he is treated as a human being Whereas, we Americans, not only stand for this condition, but actually demand ostracism of the colored. We demand that they pay a first-class railway fare for their service, that they pay then 'full' proportion of taxes and he deprived of representation and franchise in spite of the Federal and Fifteenth Amendment. We demand that the public school money in some states be spent in the proportion of two dollars for a colored child and twenty to twenty-five for a white child. And here Monsignor Burke wished to remind Monsignor Knights of Columbus in particular, that it is not the Catholic avenues of education through which the black stream is flowing. Sad as it may be to relate, the fact remains that the doors of many of our Catholic institutions of learning are closed to all members of the colored race. This is unfortunate, at least from a Catholic standpoint for it almost seems as if Catholicity is the only faith that can withstand the acid test of higher education. A large percentage of those of non-Catholic creeds who claim higher spheres of religion drift peripherly near infidelity while Catholic institutions, especially those刻录 in Catholic institutions, can see, university degrees and keep their faith intact. Heavenly practical Christians or Orthodox Jews do we find among the extremely radical element that is opposed to our American institutions of government. The covered wrist leaves her corn university college or high school filled with homework and ambition she has heard her father she has seen her father she has seen her white christian college days no longer recognize her lays that the white world does not credit her marry and refrain, even on consider it. But worst of all, itGrades are not the only thing that almost uninvited begged white men that all colored women are "cary." Then she goes into a mental state of hatred for the entire white race and in this state here children will be born. And we whiten' calmly take it for granted that those children will gladly abet their blood for us if we ever get into serious trouble! The loyalty of the colored Americans cannot be questioned to-day. But the oppressed have always rebelled sooner or later, and history has always repeated itself. The Negro is not only developing highly intelligent leaders of his race, he is being organized with his own power, he is holding them together like sheep, forcing segregation upon him, and we do not seem to see that this will give him the best opportunity to concentrate the full force of his organized power to justify oppose the worst oppression that has ever been inflicted upon a race. Segregation is a breeder of hate and race riots. This warning is absolutely not meted out as statement of condition. Almost the entire population of the Colored person writes terms with the intensity of his feeling against white oppression. What are we doing? Where will it end? Only the dullest fool wilt think that such a condition can go on forever, that the colored man can doooily swallow our insults, humiliations and brutalities, and then in time of trouble rally to the assistance of the white man who despises him. In all history there is no record of any such docility among human beings. Caucasians particularly, have always fought against the coolered rate of America today is in a very large proportion of Caucasian blood. Hardly more than 50 percent of the total Negro population is full-blooded Negro. We is a nation, and also as individuals, have everything to gain and nothing to lose by giving the Negro justice. Juster seems to follow in the wake of the Civil War, and the American organizations that deny the right of full American citizenship to our colored people typify barnacles of prejudice that adhere to our national ship of state, impeding our progress and making us the laughing stock of the world. Our boasted Christian democracy would be a joke if it were not so hypercritical. We allow lawless mobs to publicly roast alive citizens who have been suspected of even slight crimes. For every white woman outraged by a black man who can count the number of black women outraged by white men, or of its own stop to think that at this war, even in parts of the country, the life of almost any respectable colored man is at the mercy of any criminal white woman who might wish to have him lynched? A cry raised against a black man by a white woman means almost a sure lynching. Such is prejudice 1. MILLION AND MORE FOR NEGRO SCHOOLS IN ATLANTA PROGRAM Arbata, Ga.—What is believed to be the most elaborate and expensive colored public school building program ever undertaken by any community is now nearing completion in this city. It embraces four new grammar schools, seating 800 to 1,000 each, and a high school seating 1,500, the five erected at a cost to date of $120,000, with more yet to be spent on finishing touches. These new schools are part of a general school building program involving a total of $3,800,000 and are in every sense equal to the best the city is erecting. In addition to all the usual modern facilities, each is also provided with medical and dental clinics, where the pupils have the services of physician, dentist and nurse. The high school named for Booker T. Washington will carry the regular academic curriculum and provide in wood work, carpentry, drawing, auto mechanics, sheet metal, plaster and cement work, tailoring, pressing, sewing, cooking child care and teacher training. Atlanta having greatly outgrown its school system, several unsuccessful efforts were made to vote a bond issue for new buildings. It was found that the colored voters held the balance of power and had known it against the other members of the local interracial committee why this was so. The latter arranged a conference with leading colored citizens and the question was passed to them. They promptly replied "Why should we vote taxes on ourselves when we have no assurance that we will get any of the benefits." An agreement was reached that if they would help carry the next bond election, their schools should have approximately one third of the proceeds. That agreement is now being carried out.

Many persons interested in the economic and material welfare of the race are making inquiries as to the scope and extent of the work of the National and the New York Urban Leagues, with respect to the industrial and commercial development of the Negro in New York City, Harlem in particular. It is pointed out that with a population of 150,000, and an additional 150,000 in immediate contiguity, that tremendous possibilities are offered these organizations, and other racial welfare societies, to assist in a large and important program of economic expansion. Attention is called to the lack of industrial opportunity in this largely populated oakier as compared with other localities which have much smaller racial groups, as indicating the need of some plan for a wiser distribution of the incoming additional Negro population. This will make for much-needed economic relief. But no spasmodic program will be effective, it is declared. Centera Hot Congested There is a steady and continual growth of population, and it should not be centered in already congested localities. Harlem, the Brooklyn and Brooklyn have already an excess population. But there are other communities in the immediate neighborhood that have not become so thickly populated. Out on Staten Island, some sections of Long Island, and upstate at Geneva, Albany, Schenectady, and a number of other places, there is only a small percentage of the addition to the Negro population, and these communities could easily assimilate many others, both industrially and economically. But—this will mean the sorting out and sending to these communities of trained help, both domestic and industrial, and to those from other trained nurseries in these small communities, because there are no loose ends to be taken care of. This applies also to nearby New Jersey and Connecticut communities as well. Consideration of the scope of Urban League activity is directed toward the industrial and housing problems as being intimately related. It is declared that as industrial opportunities are taken care of, the housing situation will be provided for by the building of homes for one and two families—small units that are easily and economically constructed. These, of course, can only be provided in centers that have no congestion problem. Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx, the valuable cities, the value of the situation because of congested conditions, so it must be taken to other communities where there is opportunity for expansion. --- FEDERAL COUNCIL EXPLAINS POSITION TO CONG. L.C. DYER Always Favored Anti-Lynch- ing Bill and Has Done All Possible to Stir Sentiment- Dr George E. Haynes, one of the acco- nies of the Federal Council of Churches, has issued a statement con- cerning the criticisms directed at that organization by Congressman Dyer on the occasion of his address to citizens of Hartem at Renajasance Casino on Sunday, January 6, charging that the Council had failed to support the Dyer Anti-Lynchings Bill. Dr Robert E. Speer, president of the Council, addressed a letter to Mr. Dyer, declaring that the organization had done everything in its power to arouse and strengthen public sentiment against Dyer and that ministers and church gatherings had expressed emphatic support of the measure. Other officers of the Federal Council, including Samuel McCrea Calvert, one of the general secretaries, wrote a length to Congressman Dyer, in the effort to disbuse his mind of the impression that the Federal Council of Churches was against the Anti-Lynching Bill. Dr. Calvert stated that the one aim of the Council had been to "do everything which we could to marshal the churches of America against this evil, and we have no concern as to who gets the empire if only the task can be accomplished." Peppermint does know that from the very creation of the Federal Council of the Churches in 1908 the Negro denominations have been included in the membership of the Council and have served on its governing bodies on a basis of complete equality with the white denominations." Wrote Dr Cavert "So important did we regard our duty in the field of race relations in America that, early in 1921, we created a special Commission on the Church and Race Relations and called as the special secretary of this Commission the best trained Negroes in this country, to cooperate with us in making the churches more effective centers of education for better relations" In reply to Dr Speer's letter, Congressman Dyer telegraphed "In view of your letter of January 10, I heg 16 apologize for mine of December 20, Judicial Committee on the Constitution, yesterday the anti-lynching bill. May I in my report of same to the House make mention of part of your letter? (Signed) L. C DYER" Bridgeport, Conn.

They were there to take part in the first communion of the New Year. For the occasion Dr Ellerson, pastor, made a brief address on the communion service "As a Reminder." The renditions of the junior choir, under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Reid, were more than pleasing and the singing by the big audience was soul-stirring. The sermon for the evening service was on "Preparing the Way for Jesus." The senior choir was at its best and the special selection by the male chorus entitled "My Anchor Holds" was sung with fine effect. One infant and one adult were baptized and five new members were fellowshipd into the communion of the church. Dr L. B Ellerson and family were the guests of Dr and Mrs W H Sutherland on Christmas Day and of Mr and Mrs W W Davies on New Years Day. The pastor and Mrs Ellerson and their little son, Arthur, wish to express appreciation for the wonderful way in which the members and friends of the church caused "Old Santa" to remember them during the Yule celebration with an unusually large number of useful gifts as well as a goodly sum of money donations. Rev L. B Ellerson and Elder Fowman spent Monday and Tuesday taking communion to sick persons and "shuts." Mrs Mary Jones and Mrs Nellie Francis, presidents respectively, of the Violet Club and the Ladies Aid deserve credit for the management of the Hope Chest Contest. Miss Anna Dores won the Hope Chest as first prize. The second, third and fourth prizes were won respectively by Miss Pamela Freeman, Miss Helen Notts and Miss Rosa Sutherland. The 13th Avenue Church on Sunday January 11 was the scene of one of the most interesting and impressive services witnessed and enjoyed there for some time. The occasion was the launching of the preparatory work for the Presbytery wide congregation to parish which is to intimate March 11 to 21. Dr. Dickson preached at the morning service on the Greatest Olst of 1924. The parson lured the New Year, spend with an annual number of special calls issued to various view points but that the greatest of all the calls was that of Making Jesus King taking as a text the words of Jesus to Luke 1:18. Tilate, therefore, said unto Him Art thou a king then Jesus answered. Thou savest that I am King to this end was I born angel; this cause came into the world. The speaker show Newark. N. J.

There seems to be a disposition on the part of some of the Republican leaders to excuse the excuse that the existence of frictions among the Negro members of the party prevents the accordance to this group of more adequate recognition in the matter of appointments. This is rather a flimpy pretext upon which to justify the neglect this portion of the party's strength. If the party leaders think they have just cause of complaint because of the recent attitude pursued by Negro voters, they should seek to cause and apply the proper remedy. The present dissatisfaction manifested in this group of voters is based upon defining grounds, involving the application of the great principles upon which the Republican party was founded. The remedy for the conditions complained of by the white leaders solely in their own hands. No faction differences interfere with the carrying out of the policy of adequate recognition in the voters of the race as citizens and Republicans. Factions exist among all political parties and the various groups which go make up parties, but such differences must be ironed out in uniting these groups united part support. The fact that political leeches and seekers abut in the car of the party manager and tell their tales of how to willing listeners should be no valid reason why the party should neglect to do not plain duty in the recognition of the race. The white leader should seek the advice of those members, the race who have no personal ases to grunt but are competent to speak for the broad and general interests of the race. Principles laid down by the party four lets should govern in actions related to social interests. Let the Republican party managers deal with the Black Republicans on the basis of fundamental principles, regardless of factions that may rise and tail. Faction differences will not affect the general result if the workers can be united on the one principle of party support when the party deserves that support. But these voters cannot be fooled by the raising of the excuse that the existence of factions among the frees the party from its legitimate obligation.

The announcement that the War Department had authorized Federal recognition of the 369th Infantry as the last of the National Guard troops allotted to New York State marks another step in the military history of the race. The regiment is attached to the 37th Brigade under General Dyer, for administration and training, in time of war, constitute the first unit of 185th Brigade The announcement that the War Department had authorized Federal recognition of the 369th Infantry as the last of the National Guard troops allotted to New York State marks another step in the military history of the race. The regiment is attached to the 87th Brigade under General Dyer, for administration and training but in time of war will constitute the first unit of 185th Brigade of the 93rd Division The formal inspection of this regiment by regular army officers will take place as soon as the regiment occupies its new armory in Harlem, running from West 142nd to 143rd streets, between Lenox avenue and the river. (This new armory with its floor space of 300 by 200 feet is said by national guard officers to be the most well hall in the state. In announcing this General recognition Major General Born compiling the National Guard of New York State said, The 369th Infantry deserves the highest praise for having maintained an organization and a high morale since the war in the face of many discouragements. In spite of having been 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. With the additional appropriation of $300,000 by the city, which is confidently expected, the completion of the armory may be looked for at an early date. It only remains for the Negroes of New York to continue to manifest a lively interest in this organization by recruiting its numbers to the maximum quota and ailing themselves of the many benefits conferred through military training and discipline. The credit for this auspicious outcome of the organization of this racial unit of the national guard is due to the persistent and unfaltering interest of In the meantime Downtown is still moving north and the Harlem colony's growth in population is bound to be matched by equal growth of opportunity. This opportunity will be manysided, manifesting itself in business, politics and every line of progress The project of a great Pan American University to be used in Rio with branches in the various Latin American countries promises to take substantial shape. The Porto Rican authorities have entered into arrangements with the trustees of Columbia University toward this end. A Porto Rican educational commission has been appointed to counter with the Columbia authorities consisted of Antonio R. Barcelo president, Dr. Porto Rican Senate Miguel Gomez, Maya Lago, co-chair of the House of Representatives, Delilah N. O'Connor, commissioner of Health State of Latin America, and presentative Aruna Sasu. The University of Rio Rice, located at Rio Piedras, should form a valuable foundation for the development of this long cherished column of Rio Piedras. TASK FOR URBAN LEAGUE. In its consideration of the various phases of development growing out of the migration movement, The Age has had occasion to call attention to the importance of providing for the proper distribution of the workers. It has insisted that the existing organization best equipped to handle this task is the National Urban League, because it not only has the existing machinery in the larger cities but it also has the force of trained workers qualified to deal with all phases of the question. It is in touch with the employers of industry in various sections, and its mission in endeavoring to better the conditions of the race in city life should naturally embrace this migration movement. While a lull may be looked for in this movement from the South during the Winter months, there is every reason to expect that it will be renewed with the coming of Spring, possibly on a larger scale. The danger of this movement, if suffered to continue without proper guidance or direction, is that the larger cities to which the migrants naturally proceed, will become congested, both from the standpoint of housing and employment. When more newcomers arrive in any large city than can be properly sheltered or obtain paying employment, suffering is bound to result. The consequences will not be confined to the migrants themselves but will react on the whole community of race workers. What is needed is a real survey of the industrial situation as it affects the race, not only in the large cities, but in smaller towns where opportunities may be found both in the way of housing and employment for a larger number of the race than is found there at present. It was thought that the pastors of the various churches would be in a position to furnish information concerning these smaller cities and towns, and The Age not long ago made an effort for them to render valuable service by giving information covering the industrial and housing conditions in their various communities. Through its existing agencies and such volunteer efforts as might be enlisted in places where the organization was not represented, the Urban League should make a detailed survey of the entire situation both North and South. The migrants from the South now here and as they come should be classified according to former occupations and industrial training, so that they might be directed to such localities where their capacity would be best utilized. At the same time they would be assured of being sent to localities where housing conditions were at least livable and where there was a likely chance for work at living pages. In the case of families, church and school facilities should also be taken into consideration. There is a great work to be done in directing the proper distribution of the human flood from the South. There is need for some racial organization capable of grappling with this task at once. The job seems to be cut out for the National Urban League. Let it get down to work without further delay, not as a temporary proposition, but as a task that will require its best efforts for a long time. A MONOCLE BLURS THE VIEW. The New York Evening Mail, a sprightly publication which tries on its readers every passing fad, from booktitle contests to lessons on how to play mah jong, has a department on its editorial page headed "New York Through a Monocle", according to the subhead, it is written by a Cockney, one Joseph Morris, which does not sound quite consistent, as a Cockney who is gifted with the ability to drop his "hatchets" would hardly be able to draw straight through a monocle, even if he dared to wear one on his native death. This may explain the obliquity of the English writer's vision in seeing some things in New York. For instance, on Monday of last week, he wrote: The New York Evening Mail, a sprightly publication which tries on its readers every passing fad, from booktitle contests to lessons on how to play mah jong, has a department on its editorial page headed "New York Through a Monocle".

This may explain the obliquity of the English writer's vision in seeing some things in New York. For instance, on Monday of last week, he wrote: Some or later New York is bound to find itself faced with a Negro problem which will assume great proportions. May I be permitted as we who need it more easily in South Africa, rather than the better, to make a suggestion, and to win it I found. It must be noted that the male Negro with greater powers has made greater advance in women than the female has the female with the right to vote and the female absolutely satisfied with sexes of the female Negro and status and seeks white woman's society. Even in Africa, this was most noticeable and there we have them in the very raw state. One found that the "boy" invariably took on the man'sressing and customs of his "baas" and to the discerning eye one could recognize whose "boy" he was by his actions. Negroes are wonderful mimeses and in a very short time are the peculiarities and consistence of those with whom they are brought into constant contact. You will find that you must devote more attention to the advancement of the female so that you may bring them into line with the males. You must instil them pride of birth and race and move from them the feeling that they are in my experience has taught me that the Negro is an equal opportunity, males quite as good a citizen as do any of the white races, but you must make him feel that he is welcomed in your midst and not merely tolerated. The trouble with this Cockney newspaper writer: he blurs his mental vision with a monochrome of preconceived notions gathered in South Africa is that he does not appreciate the difference between the environment of the Negro in New York and the Kaffir in The trouble with this Cockney newspaper writer, who blurs his mental vision with a monochrome of preconceived notions gathered in South Africa is that he does not appreciate the difference between the environment of the Negro in New York and the Kaffir in South Africa. The statement that the males of the race in this city have made greater lization shows the writer's ignorance of his subject. It is regrettable that ignorance such as this could not be idiapelled by personal contact with the people, especially, the women of the race, by this monocle wearer. If he had been privileged to be present at a holiday entertainment given by a racial organization at a large uptown hotel in Manhattan, he would have found ocular and auricular evidence that the women of the race cannot be surpassed in the matter of beauty and culture and personal charm. And that this conviction was firmly held by every man of the race in attendance. Whether Mr. Morris is merely a vehicle for Southern anti-Negro propaganda, picked up in New York, or whether he is another British blunderer writing out of sheer ignorance of racial conditions, he has failed to see straight in this matter. If he is really honest in his expressed belief in the possibilities of the Negro, given equal opportunities, let him tuck his monocle in his pocket and observe the race as it really is. Let him visit Harlem and get a superficial knowledge of the outside edges, at least. DOWNTOWN MOVING UP. The trend of the colored population of New York City has been for over a half century a series of jumps northward. About the time of the Civil War, York street and the adjacent neighborhood contained the homes of many of this group of our citizens. Some years later the old Eighth ward was the center of their activities, with Bethel Church on Sullivan street, Zion Church at Bleeker and West Tenth streets, Abyssinian Church on Waverly place and St. Philip's Church on Mulberry street. Before the advancing tide of business and foreign immigration, the colored residents continued further uptown to the section north of 23rd street and west of Sixth avenue. The churches and other institutions naturally followed and added color and life to the already lively district, known at that time as the Tenderlom. Some decades later came the march of wholesale business to this section and the opening of Harlem as new residential territory for the race. Before this there had been sporadic removals to the upper part of the city, especially on the East side. Credit for the selection of the situation of the new Harlem colony, so excellently located above and below West 135th street and on Lenox and Seventh avenues, is due to the late Philip A. Payton Jr., sometimes called the Father of Colored Harlem. He was an adroit and skillful real estate operator, gifted with unusual vision and the courage of his institutions. The colored residents of Harlem today owe much to him for the advantages they now enjoy. At the same time the inroads of business south of Central Park have continued, loft and business houses taking the place of tenements. The growing demands of a great department store have just taken another block on West 40th street which will renew the drive northward. Harlem becomes the objective point for all these people seeking new housing accommodations, whether they come from points within the city or without The tendency of this movement from downtown up is naturally to make Harlem the greatest race center in the country from the point of numbers. It also increases the prevalent congested conditions of living and emphasizes the demand for additional housing. In the absence of new building operations it is hard to see where this demand is going to be filled. Some additional buildings have been acquired by purchase and turned over for occupancy by colored tenants at increased rentals of course. One significant feature of the situation which deserves attention is the development of the system of cooperative ownership of apartment houses. Under this plan each tenant purchases the apartment he occupies either paying for it out split by installments, until the whole price is paid. The overhead charges of taxes, rentals, janitor's service, heat, etc. are apportioned among the tenant owners and paid monthly in place of rent. When properly financed and efficiently carried out, this plan ensures home ownership at cost but it seems only possible for a limited number at present.

This was attributed to the anti-lynching agitation in favor of the Dyer bill and to the migration movement, in a statement made by Secretary James Weldon Johnson of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. According to the Kansas City Call, a Federal Judge restrained the city of Wichita from enforcing an ordinance forbidding the exhibition of the film, "The Birth of a Nation." It said: Judge Pollock, in granting the restraining order, said that Negroes in Kansas did not need any special protection such as the Wichita ordinance provided. The exhibitors were required to furnish a bond of $2,500 to cover any possible damage that might arise from mob violence. It looks as if this judge thought extrajudicial measures might be more effective than the city ordinances. That would establish a vicious precedent. The headline writer of the Richmond Planet is nothing if not explicit. One head read: "Local Musical Union Starts Local Musical Union." That is starting something. The Star of Lizm, official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, in an editorial headline asked "Is Protestant Christianity in a schism, a battle or a split?" It concluded: We believe that the chief result of this tempest in the camp of Protestants will be to anaken the lethargy of those who have been too show to keep up with the thought of the world and in the process of things the faith of the great mass of both scholars and devotees of Christianity, will humble the pride of the vaunting modernists by their strong determination and justification in keeping to the faith of the fathers, by the guidance of the Holy Spirit and Word of God and upon the rock of ages, Christ Jesus His Son. The trouble with the diversion of ministerial thought and energy to doctrinal discussion is that the real needs of the church are neglected.

The following news item taken from the Richmond Times Desperate daily newspaper shows that progress is being made in the effort to adjust the affairs of the Mechanics Savings Bank. A commission of six prominent bankers of Richmond is to be formed to superise the management of the Mechanics Savings Bank which is seen to be relieved from the receivership according to a statement made yesterday by John Mitchell, Jr. colored, president of the bank. It is said that a sufficient number of depositors have signed waivers of 50 percent of their deposits to cover the shortage which resulted in the bank going into a tree crisis and there are very few depositors who have not signed.

It places the motion-picture business for Negroes wholly in the hands of Negroes; it removes away a bane that loomed up ever, before, the sight and ken of Negroes and puts the question of patronage, squarely up to our group. It shows that only a minimum amount of prejudice exists in the city among the races that "having and holding" and the exchanges incident thereto knows no color nor creed. It recognizes only conditions in finance and ability to put money to exchange. Such transactions as this illustrate the great progress made by the race in the acquisition of property in the South.

We are profoundly pleased with the good work that the Age is doing along all lines of racial development in the many fight against racism making Britain booth selling places in Harlem. Thousands of us are praying for you, that you and your friends may have victory over one of the greatest curses of all races at the earth. You have our best wishes and prayers for all that you and your associates are doing for the thousands of our people who are coming North in search of work and for the improvement of their condition. Many are coming who will need the immediate attention of the ministers, the churches, and all social workers, that they may be properly resisted and happily adjusted and thereby help to make conditions better for all concerned. The Henry Robinson Killing Edward of Tulsa, New York, Agr. I am taking the liberty of a citizen of New York City to thank you for the stand you have taken in regards to publishing the facts of the sad c-tastrophe that happened to Bro Henry Robinson of 135 West 138th street and to see taint the direct surveying of that affair was really displayed by your representatives instead of copying from the white papers that paint all Negro Harlem black. And if some of the colored managers of certain Negro papers would stop clipping from the white papers and investigate the same WITH OU DEAREST GIRLS I read the Christmas column with interest, and indeed Innocent's" article was simply wonderful. Keep up the good work, girls, you have a great talent. The success of the column during the Christmas week is attributed to our beloved sister "Wilhelmma" who tried very hard to have a presentable amount of letters as that week. I am sure she fees paid for the strenuous effort put forth. NEW YEAR WISH (F. Sophie Irène Lech) If a lady godmother came to me And grinned me one wish I would wish her wealth And do with it the wail I would go into every congested corner to greet city And of the washwoman who rules with her hands And for her to eat a hot stew to iron And I will give her labor saving ma- chie To help her work in an easier way I would go into the homes of poverty struck children And put yourself on its feet So that it might go right in the high- way of life To give talent a chance for expression That is adrenalized by the howl of the wolf at the door I would go into the country Where Old Age has tailed the soil But has reamed a harvest of woe I would repair the leaking roof and put moderate warmth into that household. And thus save the drudgery of declining years. In a field, I would use money to take the individual interest. In him, who needs it most. And in this process I would be the rather than those I have enriched Because I have engendered love It is the heart of the burrow Which is the greatest gift Then I give my will service A clasp of the sympathetic hand the rope that reassures Saturday, January 19, 1924. is one of the essentials needed to keep the Negro from leaving the South The black workers and croppers in Texas and Mississippi and other States have been robbed of their earnings long enough Referring to the report that Representative H. St. George Tucker is opposing the Towner-Sterling education bill, the St. Luke Herold of Richmond said: Mister Tucker has assailed the proposed legislation with all his vested powers and intellectual verbal-machine. He claims that the bill is unconstitutional and that it aims at the very heart of the South, the elimination of separate schools for the races. Should the bill pass it is probable that the separate school would remain in the South. But this would happen. Negroes would get their numerical share of the Federal money spent in the several Southern States. And there is where the shoe is rubbing. Politicians would rather keep both white and colored children in ignorance than give the Negro children a change to get the light. We do not know what inspires this confidence on the part of the editor of the Herald, that Negroes would get their share of Federal money for education in the South. Judging by the charges made as to the diversion of other funds from State and Federal sources for Negro education, we have felt doubtful of any good resulting from the Towner-Sterling measure. leaders' Forum it would do our race a great deal of good. Some of the managers and boss editors never leaves their seat to invest igate but copy from the white, press, still they call themselves race men. The policemen of Harlem all knew Robinson, and he has done according to his boss's rules, and that is "Drink and Pay off." When there is a big bank robbery, pay roll hold up, on a messenger carrying thousands of dollars, thee: is never a detective or an officer around, and when the loot is gone, there is a big display of a heroic officer bravely taking a slowpowered taxi cab to chase the burglar, but can never read the number of the fleeing cab. How is that? But the same thing is, caffried on in Harlem and the officers are looking for "Number" men and crap sooters, social parties, and there is never a conviction but trouble. Who makes the money out of this game? No one but the bondsmen; but if the runners have enough cash on them they never see the magistrate. The cops look for a write up from the papers as having taken a white burglar with hands down, but when it comes to a Negro he pulls his gun to kill for notoriety, that the prisoner is full of danger and he is afraid. When Luther Boddy was alleged to have killed Buckley and Miller, it took the whole police and detective force to go to Jersey or Philadelphia to bring him back. But did it take all of them to get the Diamond brothers and Farnino, the bank slayers? No, the case has been embalmed. The Negro stool pigeon who invades Harlem has proven to be a joke. They dare not inform upon the hootch joints, and if they do, they get a "joker's joke"—that is, "Can you prove it?" You had better be careful." I am giving the New York Age credit for alving its own press and a paper of free speech. Our Alderman and Assemblyman should protect Harlem, because I see a lot could be done to support our people in this District. Next week if you will allow me, I am going to give the dirty tricks away with our Negro landlords, and also the Jew J D. WEBB. 87 West 134th street UR GIRLS more to give it. For at the end of every year and every life It is not what you have taken out of the world But what you have given to it that counts I wish my sisters, editor and constant readers of this column "A Happy and a Prosperous New Year." Wishes for the New Year. Why can't we all be satisfied With God which God hath given us? I read of wishing silly things That only turn to dust Why not wish for righteousness? Twould please the Lord much more And He would give our soul's desire When life's dull cores are oer Real men wish for evil things They wish for things that's good Things pertaining unto the Lord As I think all of us should. I wish to press on to the mark For the prize of the higher calling Of God in Jesus Christ you see Oh there is no use in stalling I wish the gambler would stop gambling And lay his gambling by For each of them must stop some day For each of them must die I wish the liar would stop lying And to more lies would tell. I think they'd make more earthly friends And please the Lord as well. I wish all preachers would preach the truth. It matters not how much it hurts. I think each man woman and child Would finally come to church I wish drinkers would stop drinking Beers and other strong drink And then when difficulties meet They could stop and clearly think. I wish all men would accept the gift Of Jesus Christ our Lord. And then when in God's Church we meet We would be of one accord I wish for peace through all past see With Jesus Christ our Lord And be at peace with all mankind When this life's journey's end. *Plainfield.

Compensating the porter for services rendered ts such a gen- eral furm of reward that jt 1s recog nized by the entire business world. Even the United States Goverament, when it made an attempt < few years ago to reduce its, budget, issued an order to its agents that mo extra exe pense account would be allowed for tipping, except to Pullman porters, and a few others we cannot recall. ' The Pullman Company, itself, allows its agents a certain emount, when travel- ing, for tipo to porters therefore, it 3 obvious that every one who travels is liberal. As fo which is more so—men or “women—Iindivid- ually, here are many women who far surpass the men in rewarding for good dervices rendered and there are quite a few women whom we would rather have. ag passengers than their men travellers are more bBeral than the women This may be due to the fact that the average man handles more money than the average woman.

Schr -ctydy, NY, 1s popular with Deama « audi+ fam Tex Rickard's offer to stage a Wills-Firpo bout in this city next summer seems to indicate that he has been given assurance that there will be no political interference with mixed bouts. For a long time it was intimated that the reason a Dempsey-Wills bout had not been staged here was that this assurance of non-interference by politicians could not be obtained. Either the Boxing Commission changed its attitude or the supposed discrimination of the Commission was used as an excuse by Rickard, for if it is all right for Wills to fight Firpo, there should be no reason why he should not be permitted to fight Dempsey. We hope, however, that Mullins and Rickard can come to some agreement, for Wills' sake, for unless Rickard stages the purposed Wills-Firpo bout, it will not be held. Rickard gave Firpo his opportunity here in New York, and the latter's agreement to fight only under Rickard's management in New York, makes it hardly possible that any other promoter could stage the bout. The fight should be on a percentage basis and Wills should get as big a percentage as Firpo. There seems to be another reason why Rickard is anxious to stage this bout, and that is because of his friendship for Jack Kearns. A big scare was given Kearns when Dempsey was almost knocked out by Firpo, and he is not anxious for a return bout between the two. Kearns is hoping that Wills will score a knockout over Firpo and thus eliminate him as a contender. He hopes to evade Wills until next year and expects that Wills' age will begin to tell on him by that time. In any event Dempsey would now prefer to fight Wills to Firpo. Larry Estridge, who has made a splendid record since he became a professional, will have his most severe test at the Commonwealth Club on Saturday night, January 19, when he meets Tom Moore of England. Should Estridge defeat Moore he will have won his spurs as a serious contender for the middleweight title. Colored athletic clubs and athletes who will try for the Olympic team should give financial support to the campaign now on to raise funds to defray the expenses of the American Olympic team. The Olympic Committee has so far been fair to the colored athletes. Those who wish to make contributions to this fund may do so through Charles H.

New York, City AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE The Paramount picture, "His Children's Children," a pictureization of the famous novel by Arthur Train, will be the feature at the Lincoln Theatre's Thursday, to remain for the week. The story is a sensational American Melodrama, featuring Bebe Daniels, Dorothy Mackaill, James Rennie and George Fawcett. It is the life story of three generations of a prominent New York family and has been pro- duced in an uniquely gripping and vivid manner. It's a tremendous Sam Wood production, included, among others in the staring supporting cast are Mary Eaton of the Ziegfeld Follies, Mahlon Hamilton, Lawrence D'Orsey, Wainer Island, Hale Hamilton and John Davidson. There are many scenes of strong, dramatic interest. AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE "Birthright," a ten colori-colored motif picture, produced by Oscar Miccheux, from the novel by the same name, had its premier at The Laletayta on Monday afternoon, January 14. In adapting the story for the screen, Mr. Miccheux followed the book very closely, even using in the headlines the identical language contained therein. So if you read "Birthright" and liked it, you will probably like the picture. It is a descriptive story of a small southern town—a sort of colored "Main Street." All of the ignorance prejudice and many of the crimes of both races in this town is graphically denied. Although it is two hours long and drags, at times, it is the best colored moving picture that has so far been produced. With few exceptions the cast is well selected and the acting good. Salem Titt Whitney, as Tump Pack (the colored bully of the town, who was decorated for heroism during the World War), has the best part ever seen him in. Evelyn Preer was also exceptionally good as Cassie Delline. In the book, Peter Siner did not appear as a real character to the writer. Few colored Harvard graduates go South inadwavies with the intention of reforming that section of the country and none of them have been as ignorant of conditions there as Peter appear to be. J. Homer Tutt succeeds in bringing some life to this character, but even he cannot make it the outstanding part in the picture Next to Miss Preer the southern aberfur had the most convincing part. Other leading characters were Laurence Chennault and W. B. F. Crowell. In addition to this picture, the management is offering several vaudeville acts. Morton and Brown, Jac McClusky, Smith and Holmes, Dancing Demonds, and the Great Johnstone and Company complete the bill. BELL, BANTAM CHAMP, IN DRAW WITH MENDO In the feature 12-round bout at Commonwealth Club on Saturday night, January 12, Amell Bell, colored bantam-weight champion, fought a fiercely contested bout with Jimmy Mendo of Philadelphia. Honors were about even at the finish and the bout was declared a draw. Bell gained the early rounds of the fight, but Mendo's strong finish evened up matters. Bell did not seem to possess his usual aggressiveness, and if he had not permitted his opponent to lead most of the time he would have won easily, as he was much the better boxer. Both fighters weighted 1191/2 pounds. Sunday Concerts to Be Presented by Colored Artists on Broadway Beginning Sunday evening.

Tex Rickard, the head of the boxing trust in New York, has offered Harry Wills $100,000 to meet Luis Angel Firpo, who gave Dempsey a tough fight last summer. Rickard purposes to stage the bout during the coming summer, probably about July 4, in this city, and he stipulates that the winner is to meet Dempsey early in the fall. Paddy Mullins, manager of Harry Wills, has not yet signed any agreement for this fight because he does not think an elimination contest should be necessary, as Wills is the logical contender and should be given his chance for the championship in preference to all others. Then, too, be believes that Wills could make more money on a percentage basis. Fighting on a percentage basis, Dempsey and Firpo were given fifty per cent of the gate receipts. Dempsey got 32 per cent, or something over $500,000, while Firpo received nearly $200,000 as his end of the purse. On a similar basis, Mulina believes that Wills could gain a much greater sum than has been offered him. Two other promoters are bidding for a Wills-Firpo bout.

It has matched Rickard's offer of $100,000 to each of the contestants. After a confection with the Newark promoters, Mullins tentatively agreed to the proposition, provided Willis be given a substantial percentage. It is generally believed, however, that these promoters will have difficulty in signing Firpo, as he is under contract to fight for Rickard. Simon Flaherty, owner of the Queens boro Stadium, and friend of Mullins, is also anxious to promote this fight, but he also will have difficulty in getting Firpo to sign Schedule Committee Picked For Eastern League Games Philadelphia, Pa. - At the regular meeting of the Commissioners of the Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball Clubs, held at the Philadelphia Y.M.C.A Saturday, January 12, Chairman Bolden appointed the following committee to draft a schedule for the coming season Ben Taylor, Chas. Spedden, James Keenan Nat Strong and himself. It was also brought out that Oscar Charleston, well known in the West, would lead the Harrisburg team and that John Herry Lloyd would likely lead the Bacharach Giants next season. While to definite announcement was made concerning the personnel of the various clubs, it was intimated that there would be a number of changes in the lineup of several. It is probable that the Lincoln Giants of New York will have more new faces than any other team, as Manager Keenan is out to cop the championship for New York "Judy" Ganz, who was out of the lineup last season, is reported to have been selected captain of the Lincoln for the coming season.
