According to the terms of a bill introduced in Congress by Congressman Emanuel Celler of Brooklyn, representing the 10th District, New York, (H.R.5564), the President will be authorized to appoint as a Commission on the Racial Question, three white men from the North, three from the South, and three colored men.
The membership is to be in three classes, two whites and one colored in each class, to serve one, two and three years respectively. The Commission is to have authority to investigate conditions surrounding colored people in the United States, ascertain cause of racial unrest and friction, and suggest remedies to relieve situation.
Compensation for the Commissioners is fixed at not more than $7 per day when in actual service, and the expenses is limited to $50,000 per year. The secretary of the Commission is fixed at $1,600 per year, and the Secretary of the Interior is to have supervision of the work.
Longshoreman Awarded
$8,000 for Fractured
Leg From Fall on Ship
Eligie Allen of 39 West 135th street, was awarded by a jury in a trial before Judge Mahoney in the Supreme Court, New York County, the sum of $8,000 for a broken leg he received while working as a longshoreman for the Old Dominion Ste. Ship Company at Pier 25 in New York, who first handled by a lawyer who could not proceed with the same because he thought that the accident had happened in such a way that the Steamship Company could not be held liable; and when Abraham Obersten of 261 Broadway was retained by Mr. Allen, who tried the case for him, the situation quickly changed and the case brought to the immediate trial the result that the plaintiff received $8,000 for a broken leg, and which, in view of the fact that the plaintiff had fully recovered from the effects of the injury is a remarkably large verdict.

Dr. Crossland of Missouri Charged With Intriguing For Job as Hospital Head
Peculiar Political Chicanery Is Alleged Against Him, Including Anonymous Letters to Washington Officials Dr. Moton Opposes Crossland's Ambitions.
(By Staff Correspondent of The Age).
Washington, D. C.—Dr. J. R. A. Crossland of St. Joseph, Mo., whose removal from the Negro Veterana' Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., has been asked, is accused of playing a peculiar game of politics to win the appointment of superintendent. To support their charge that Crossland has been guilty of intrigue those seeking his dismissal have produced letters written by the physician to United States Senators and other high Government officials, and said to be of an incriminating nature.
Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, is one of the chief protestants against a continuance of Dr. Crossland's presence at Tuskegee. This was made known when the head of Tuskegee recently sent the following telegram to A. L. Holtsey, his secretary, who
COLORED WOMAN NOW PRIVATE SECRETARY TO HARLEM BANKER
COLORED WOMAN NOW PRIVATE SECRETARY TO HARLEM BANKER
Mrs. Richardson, Expert Stenographer, Wins Place With Mr. Rapp, Chelsea Exchange Bank.
One of the busiest institutions in Harlem is the Chelsea Exchange Bank at 135th street and Seventh avenue. This bank serves more small depositors and small business establishments than any similar institution in this section of the city.
Under the leadership of its new president, Edward S. Rothchild, the Chelsea Bank has just completed one of his most successful years. Mr. Rothchild became president in September, 1922, after having been presi'ent of the Public Bank for ten years. He regarded as one of the ablest bank officials in New York.
The Chelsea Exchange Bank was organized in 1903, with its main office at 260 West, 34th street, and a branch at 1600 Broadway. The Harlem Branch was opened May 1, 1912, with Charles G. Rapp, who is now vice-president, as manager. Mr. Rapp became the branch continu'ing since its opening. He is now assisted by L.C. Heims, the present manager, and an able corn of iters.
Recently Mrs Florence de L. Richardson, an expert stenograpehr and social worker, was given employment in a secretarial capacity. During, the absence of Mr Happ's private secretary, she was given opportunity to fill the position, which she was given permanently upon the resignation of his former secretary. Mrs. Richardson is probably the only colored woman in New York holding a position of this kind.
Disclaims Proludice.
In a recent interview with a representative of The Age, Mr. Rapp stated that the Harlem Branch of the Chelsea Exchange Bank ahs always served its depositors without regard to race or creed
"A number of colored depositors," he said, "have charged the bank with discrimination who favors were denied them, the bank is a colorless neighborhood and most of its depositors are coed, a policy of discrimination, because of race would be suicidal." he continued "Because of the state banking laws, all loans must be made under certain stipulated rules, and whenever a colored depositor comes up to these requirements, he can get a loan as read as anyone else"
This branch has sought to encourage thrift among the people of this section, and has made a feature of its Special Interest Department, where anyone may open an account with the bank. The banking hours have been arranged for the convenience of depositors, they are 9 to 4, every day, except Saturday, closing at 1 that day. The bank is requested for deposits on Monday evenings from 8 to 10, and from 8 to 10.30 on Saturday evenings.
The Chelsea Exchange Bang has a strong responsible board of directors, headed by Herbert DuPuy, who was former chairman of the board of the Crucible Steel Company. A new issue of stock was recently authorized and the stock, which formerly sold $60 per share, was valued at $120. The resources have increased to over $120,000,00 and indications are that 1924 will be an even better than the one just ended.
was made known when the head of Tuskegee recently sent the following telegram to A. L. Holiday, his secretary, who happened to be in the East:
"Developments to-day make it imperative that this man be ordered from here at once otherwise there will be more serious trouble than anything yet had. This is due to developments to-day. Has done some things which might cause his immediate arrest. Even more serious complications may arise if he is not removed. Urge this for me.
(Signed) "R. R. MOTON."
The possibility of a Negro becoming superintendent of the Veterans Hospital in the future is no secret. The report going the rounds is that Major Ward of Indianapolis, recently appointed head surgeon of the hospital, will assume the duties of the Dr. Griffith, the present commanding officer, who is highly spoken of by Negroes. The National Negro Medical Association has not favored Dr. Crossland for the place, and in his efforts to land the plum he has been playing a lone hand.
Some of the correspondence submitted to Washington officials to prove that (Continued on Seventh Page)
CHAS. YOUNG POST MEMBERS THREATEN IMPEACHMENT ACT
Rumors of Dissatisfaction Over Election of Walters Are Rife and Action Impends.
Members of the Col. Charles Young Post, No. 398, American Legion, who were not present at the annual election held Thursday evening, February 10, at the Post headquarters, 2350 Seventh avenue, are reported to be considerably wrought up because of the election of Thomas H. Walters, formerly Post commander, as county representative.
Walters, who was the first commander of the Post, was deposed from that office on March 21, 1923, after serving less than three months of a second term, because of alleged irregularities in the matter of handling claims of unemployed and disabled veterans for compensation from the state. The specific charge was that Walters compelled these men to pay him a commission for signing their vouchers. As Post commander his signature was necessary to establish their right to compensation.
A considerable number of the members, including some of those who were present, as well as those who were not, voice the opinion that the Post will lose standing and prestige with the county, state and national organizations if it were disregarded, as though to a formerly disregarded official and that, too, it is alleged, when that official has not cleared up the circumstances which surmounted his impeachment.
Some of the men who voted for Walters in the recent election, which followed upon an impassioned speech which he made to the Post, declare that the charges against the former official were never proven, and explain their support of him as being activated through sympathy. No answer was given to the question as to why he had been originally deposed, if the charges of malfeasance were unevident. The charges current to the effect that certain of the Post membership are determined that they will put themselves on record as opposing the rehabilitation of Walters and to that end it is said that a move is being planned to prevent him from serving as county representative.
HARLEM HOOTCH HOUNDS BOAST OF CONTROL OF PROHIBITION OFFICERS
Lack of Cooperation Between Federal Enforcement Agents and Local Police Force Is Evidenced by Developments in the Hootch Situation Particularly in Harlem.
RAIDS ARE CONFINED TO "LITTLE FELLOWS" WHILE BOOTLEGGING KINGS, AS LOUI, MOE, HYMAN, "CHIEF," ETC. ARE ALL UNMOLESTED.
New Agents Sent by Revenue Authorities Into the Harlem District Are Accompanied by Old Agents, Through Whom Contact with Bootleggers is Established.
Recent raids by prohibition agents in Harlem show a seeming lack of cooperation on part of Federal agents with the local police authorities. In a number of instances it is alleged that where the police officials have taken the initiative they have not received the support of government men.
Another phase of the situation is pointed out by those familiar with Harlem conditions, who say that such raids as are made are directed principally against the small fry—the home bootch makers, for instance—and that the big fellows, the king pins in Harlem's bootlegging activities, such as Loni, Hyman Mills, Goldgraben, and the cabane propellers, Comile, Levy, and others, are let alone.
The significant feature of this is that these big bootleggers boast openly of their control over official activity and their consequent immunity from punishment. The Enforcement Bureau, of the Prohibition Department seems to be rekting quietly and unconcernedly under the imputation that its agents are on the "Payroll" maintained by the bootch bounds, notwithstanding that the boldness and brazeny of the operations by bootleggers make it possible. Even the most casual passerby to know what is going on.

REV. T. S. HARTEN IS ACQUITTED OF ASSAULT CHARGES
In the Kings County Court, on Thursday, January 18, the Rev. T. S. Harten, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church, DeKalb and Franklin avenues, Brooklyn, was acquitted of the charge of assault preferred against him by two of his members, Mr. and Mra. Page of Putnam avenue.
The charge grew out of a sermon that the pastor preached, denouncing gambling among those that a church members were crap shooters. The Pages took exception to some alleged references which they claimed reflected on them, and charged that in a church meeting called to take up the matter the pastor had assaulted them with a chair. Attorney Rufus L. Perry represented Rev Hartun. After testimony was given by the pastor, the court dismissed the charges, ruling that further testimony was unnecessary. Character witnessesummoned Mr. Selfie of Dr. Krause included William Montroe Troter of Boston, and a number of the Brooklyn pastors. None, however, were called to testify, nor did Attorney Perry make a plea, for his christ
EDMONDS ACQUITTED
ON HOMICIDE CHARGE
Edward Edmonds, a colored Brooklyn street cleaner, who was charged with homicide in killing another street cleaner, Philip Gorman, white, on December 3, at Nostrand and DeKalb avenues, was acquitted by a jury in the Brooklyn courts and he has been restored to his position in the Street Cleaning Department.
Edmonds was defended by Attorney Rufus Lewi Perry of 375 Fulton street. The evidence showed that the two men were at work, and that Edwards went away for a while and on his return was upbranded in which it is alleged a Gorman was struck by Edwards and knocked down. In falling, his head struck the curb, death resulting, it was charged, from the fall.
Attorney Perry was complimented by court attaches for his handling of the case.

Camouflaged Changes.
About the only thing the bootleggers do that gives any evidence of a knowledge that there is such a thing as law enforcement is to occasionally change the character of the business which serves as a camouflage for hooth selling agents. The front is gradually giving way to sea food, hot dog and hammer sandwiches, and to the roast chicken rotisserie.
The boatings of the bootleggers seem to have some tangible foundation, for it is freely rumored around the streets of Harlem that whenever warrants for raids are issued by enforcement agents the impounder is called the men concerned in Harlem before even the ink of the signature on the warrants is dry. Theference is that there is a direct connection of some sort between the law breakers in Harlem and the law enforcers down town. Certain it is that raids of the places where hooths are found unlimited hooth shows a dearth of the stuff when officers get there.
Advance information received has enabled the hooth hounds to remove all of the hooth to safe places for temporary storage. As soon as the railing party has come and gone the hooth joint is again supplied and the clamoring clients are able to get all they ask
New Man "Introduced."
The heads of the prohibition forces seem to think that changes in the personnel of agents will secure desired results, but when new men are assigned to the Harlem district, it appears that old agents are sent along to show them the new agents and to develop, in the meantime, to develop, seems to consist mainly in putting the new men in touch with the bootleggers under the same circumstances which obtained with the old men. This makes it possible for the bootleggers to make arrangements for "protection" and save themselves from being bothered by the new agents. The bootleggers succinctly remarked recently. Big money can make any of these birds fly into a cage." Hyman is extending his activities into the cabaret business, according to information from bootlegging circles. He is interested with one Levy in the Club de Luxe at 142° street and Lenox avenue, formerly Deluxe Cabaret. Deluxe Cabaret had Jack Johnson as manager. The former heavyweight champion pupil did not prove the attraction its promoters thought he would be, so the De Luxe Cabaret went up the spout. Then Levy and Hyman came in, and are reported, to have spent some $27,000 in refurbishing this room in the hope of attracting a new audience. A Come in has done at the Inn conducted in the cellar at 131st street and Seventh avenue. Application to the Hercules Bureau for authority to operate may now recently by Levy backed up by Hyman but a considerable opposition developed and Commissioner Glazmayer reserved discussion on the application. It is known that the license to the costume is not yet known.
Incredibly, considerable comment is caused by the freedom from molestation of the Italian bootch hounds on Seventh avenue and the fact that socialed shop houses, where bootch is known to be sold, are not interfered with.
vision of a colored man, foreman of that department of Work. The chief expert in the assembling of the triple valve brakes on Pullman cars is a, colored man. He told also of the record made by a Negro lathe hand in the Buffalo shop, who turned out twenty-seven wheels in one day, creating a new record as against seventen previously turned out by a white worker in one of the shops. And he said that one of the best acetylene welders in the country was a colored man employed in the St. Louis shops.
The Pullman Porter's Benefit Association of America is a beneficial organization, the membership composed of employees in the various divisions of Pullman service. It pays a weekly sick benefit and in case of death there is a $1,000 benefit paid to surviving heirs. The association has cash resources at present of more than $100,000, and only recently it deposited in one of the banks in Chicago conducted by colored men the sum of $10,000.
John M. Brown, representing the Jersey City men, said that the effort is being made to secure a 100 per cent membership for the P. P. B. A., and that Director Parker is shortly to be the guest of members of the Jersey Division.

Perry Parker of Chicago, grand chairman of the Pullman Porters' Benefit Association of America, was guest of the local organization, the Central division, at an elaborate dinner served at Craigg's, 102 West 130th street, Thursday evening, January 17.
The affair was arranged by a committee headed by T. E. Griffin, of 823 East 160th street, The Bronx, as chairman, the other members being George Wilson, E. W. Stokien, R. O. Thibou and Sam J. Freeman. About forty ignests were present.

1,700 Shop Employees
Director Parker, who is also head of the Pullman Co. social workers, an investigator for the company, and a valued assistant to Vice President Hungerford, supervises the social work among more than 1,700 colored shop workers in the Pullman employ, located at Chicago, Buffalo, St Louis and Wilmington, Del. The company provides a social worker in each shop, guarding interests of the employees, providing recreation outlets, etc., for the workers. In his address, Mr Parker brought out some interesting facts. The Negro employees are engaged in every department of the company's activities, including the electrical division, the upholstering, painting, carpentry, cabinet making, mattress, laundry and machine departments. In the mattress and laundry shops in the various cities many colored women are to be found, some of them in supervisory positions. Mr. Parker stated that when the new trains recently put into service on the wheel was put into place under super-

So far as Harlem is concerned, her principal work was relieving poor and grillife, people of their hard earned savings. Thousands of Harlemites bought handkerchiefs at 15 cents each, which Sister Harreld was supposed to have blessed, and many others bought her photos at 10 cents each. In addition she always took one or more collections before she would begin her healing service. In this way it is alleged that she received an average of $1,000 per day during, her stay in New York. It is known that she paid the owners of the Commonwealth Casino a weekly rental of around $1,000, using that hall every day and evening except Saturday evenings.
The Age opposed her at the time on the ground that she was mercenary and did the community little or no good. Certainly if she had performed the cures she claimed to have brought about she could establish herself in one locality and not be compelled to roam about the country as she is now doing.

Wilberforce, O.—The Rev. Dr. Theophilus Gould Stewart, formerly a chaplain in the United States army with rank of captain; a member of the Wilberforce faculty both before and after his army service, and well-known as an author and linguist, died here January 11. He was in his 81st year.
Chaplain Stewart was born at Bridgeton, N. J., where the Stewart and Gould families had resided for many years. He attended school as Gouldtown, and at an Episcopal institution in Philadelphia, after which he went to a New York school to study Hebrew. He was accredited as being the most proficient in Hebrew of all the non-Semitic students.
Later, he graduated from a divinity school in Philadelphia and became a member of the Wilberforce faculty He became an ordained minister for the M E. Church in 1864 at Philadelphia. Possessing an unusually faculty for the acquirement of languages, Mr. Stewart was sent to Haiti as a missionary, preaching to the natives on the French language. He was named as a chaplain in the regular army by President Harrison, and served as such for seventeen years. Serving in the Philippines, Chaplain Stewart did much of the Spanish translation for the government, being highly complimented by the War Department.
Upon retiring from the army, with Mrs. Stewart, a tour was taken which included Mexico, France, Germany, Italy and Spain, after which Chaplain Stewart again took up his work at Wilberforce, remaining here until his death. He wrote several books, the best known being "The Revolution in Haiti," and "Fifty Years in the Ministry."

MARK 99
Are You as Good as Your
Confidentially, what I really meant to write as the heading of this article is—are you as good to yourself as to your car. But that title took too much space, so I am getting it out of my system in the first paragraph. You can choose either title you wish or like better, but I am going to write what I please. I have known other preachers to take a text, close the book, whoop for an hour or so, and ever say a word about the text. Here's where the whooping begins.
In these "filver days most everybody has a car or a Ford and everybody who is anybody can talk and understand "car talk." Nowadays people are more sensitive about the condition and performance of their cars than about their own physical defects. You insult a man when you tell him his car rattles like a lail stork upon a tin roof, that it is "missing." "drawing oil," the car-treator needs adjustment, and shows many evidences of mechanical deprecipitate. On th. other hand, he usually thinks you are "kidding" him when you tell him he is losing flesh, has a cough, poor color and that he had better see a doctor.
Every one who has a car wants it to last and perform perfectly as long as possible and he is willing to follow the rules laid down for the attainment of this end. Almost every one wants to live to a ripe old age and be comparatively free from sickness through the years. But how few give their bodies the same care they give their car. Rules of health are neglected and good advice goes by unheeded.
But your car—that you oil at every 400 to 500 miles, you clean the spark plugs at regular intervals, have the carbon burned out ever so often, and do the many things necessary to keep your car in good running order.
Why not give yourself the same care? Do you think more of your car than of yourself? Are you as good as your car? (Please note return to text). Now I am going to get personal.
If you are under forty years of age, you should go see your doctor once a year for a complete examination. If inspector, Chicago, T. Bolden, teacher, Kansas City, and Gustavus A., insurance, Columbus, survive, with a brother and sister, William Stewart F. East Bridgeton, and Mrs. Alice Felts.

Yes, your car is a wonderful piece of machinery or a wonderful bit of junk—all depending upon the care you give it. But your body is still more wonderful than any car ever built, as will fight like blazes to keep from going to the scrap heap; yet you must give it a chance, for wehn it goes it has a habit of taking you along with it. All who do not want to be joined and put upon the scrap heap, hold up your hands! Then remember—if under forty, go to your doctor once a year, and if over forty, go to him at least twice a year, and make him it you the truth about the "old boat"

This is a salutary and necessary lesson as
to the limits to be preserved by trustees and
qther officers in the administration of bene-
fit funds. The Age has for severat years
Pointed out the necessity for safeguarding
such funds through a proper system of ac-
counting and auditing. Not only shoutd the
officers handling the funds give ‘bonds
through surety companies for thejr safe
keeping, but the auditing of their accounts
should be performed by competent auditors,
preferably certified public accountants.
An unusuel feature of Judge Taylor's
charge in the case referred to was the fol-
lowing paragraph, which we reproduce be-
low:
1 was favorably impressed with all of the parties
and witnesses in the controversy. They, are persons
of color, of splendid inteltigence and well meanihg,
all of whom have availed themselves of the great
‘opportunities, educational and otherwise which our
common country affords to all of us, regardless
of race or creed. I think it will be possible for al}
of those interested on both sides of the case to
cooperate with one another, with the assistance of
the learned counsel on both sides, to formulate some
new, different and lega} plan which will result in
the building of the temples-a consummation which
both sides of the controversy agree should be bad
as the temple is needed and should be built
With this judicial encouragement, the
Pythians of New York State should be able
to compoe their legal differences and place
the order high in the ranks of those benefi-
cial organizations, which ensure safety and
security to their members. |
A NEW “FORCE” BILL.
We learn from the Washington corres-
pondent of the Baltimore Afro-Ametican
that a new force bill, has been introduced
into fhe United States Senate by Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts. I1
provides for the enforcement of the Fif-
teenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth amend-
ments to the Constitution. It was read twice
and referred to the Committee on the Ju-
choiary. The full text follows $
“Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives af the United States of America
in Congress assembled,
“Whoever shall for beverage purposes anufac-
ture, sell transport, import, or export intoxicating
hquor wxhin inte, or from the United States or
any place subject to the jurisdiction thereof shall
for a first offense be fined not more than $1,000 or
imprisoned net exceeding six months nor morc
tha> five subsequent offense shall be fined not fess
than $1,000 nor more than $2000 and be imprisoned
not less than six months nor more than five years,
and such liquor shall be forfeited to, the United
States.
“Sec 2 Whoever shall deny or abridge the
right of any citizen of the United States or any
State to vote on account of race, color, sex oF
Previous condition of seteude stall, for a first
offense, be fined not mote Yhan; $3,090 or imprison-
ment“not exceeding six months, ar for a second

$1,000 nor mpre than $2,000 and he imprisoned not
leas than one month nor more than Fve years. and
such person shall he denied the righ of suffrage
in any State or national election
“Se. 3 All laws inconustent with tection 1 of
section 2 of this Act are hereby repealed
“Sec 4 This act shail take effect and be in
force from and after the passage and approval of
the Act”
The first socalled “Force” bill was intro.
duced in Congress during the first term of
President Grant abont 1870, following close
upon the adoption of the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth amendments, which made the
South Republican Its adoption was opposed
by the late James (. Blaine of Maine, who
at the time was obsessed by the political
ambition ts become President Mr Blaine
never explained his opposition to this meas:
ure. Which was intended to strengthen the
hands of the Presi fent in his efforts to pro-
tect the Negro voter at the South
We cannot gauge the sincerity of the
movers of the present measure, which couples
prohibition enfurcement with the freedom

all sincere supporters of the Constitution on

BONDS FOR CHURCH BUILDING
A cugge Gen was recently atfered bya

In addition to the $100,000 received from

These hands would be secured by a second
mortgage on the church property and would
pay interest at the same rate as the mort
gage. or better still cay five per-cent. pay-
able hy coupons every six months
Church mortgages which are Jargely held
by savings banks, are- generally! held ‘to he
ong of the most reliable forms of investment.
The interest as a rule is-paid promptly anc
regularly and the principal is reduced at
certain intervals, as Hie organization grows
in strength and numbers. “Seldom does it
become necessary to foreclose a mortgage

Investments, there shoiild be no trouble in
disposing of church bonds to the membera

ing the interest 3vould: be paid directly to
those specially interested in the good of the
organization. 2
However, before embarking upon such an
expenditure as the sanm of $100,000, as
planned in this case, a church budget of in-
come and outgo should be carefully pre-
pered, showing the capacity of the congre-
gation to assume stich a burden and to mect
the demands for interest, in addition to the
other items of church expenses. The idea of
issuing bonds for church building strikes us
as a sound one, if the details are properly
worked out for the payment of interest and
the establishment of a redemption fund. to
meet the payment of the principal. No con-
gregntion however should saddle itself with
a burden of debt beyond its capacity, for
‘carrying. : .
The extension of church facilities in Har-
Tem is a work forthe benefit of the whole
community. If the church members can help
this work along by taking bonds and paying
interest to themselves. so much the better.
It is worth while trying.

THE BURDEN OF THE INCOMPETENT.
Some time ago to a fellow citicen in Missigsipp! [advanced t-c
proposition, ‘ellcevident it seemed to me, that the wafiare and hap-
pines of the State is nothing more or fess than the combined wel-
ier aad bappiness g alt & forties Is who compose ps Stare,
¢ people are the State. Clear a3 this appears to me, my oonver-
sation with men In public Iie and the srewth of ‘certain infltences
im the State compel the observation that the poten whatever
us status in theory, us not generally recognized dn practice. It might,
therefore, be well to dlacuss it here at some length,
‘ny community may be roughly divided Into two” groups, over-
lapping to some extent 4 peteaty merging into each other, the
capable and the incapable. Society is so organized that, whether :
be desired of not, the capable must bear the burdens of the incapah'+
The measure, of ‘the standing of a community ls not’ therefore
taken from the capabilities of the most fit but from the reaultanr
of the capable compoffent after deducting from it the burden of the
imeapable, 2
Some time ago I was privileged to visit Los Afgeles, 2 city wih
capabibties far exceeding any other of my acquaintance. Such
marked tuferiority is only the expected result of the operation of
the natural law mentioned above. It will be found that the prepond-
erance of capables is overwhelming in Los Angeles, This is due to
the fact that the city has grown with remarkable rapidity (from a
population of 11,000 in 1880 to one of 750,000 today), aad the influx
has been of the most capable type. There is consequently a high
degree of excellence from which only a small burden attaches in
determining the eapahibties of that elty. | Similar is the experience
of all "new" and “growing” Communities. They are said to, be
jhooming” when the retultane capability Is rising because of influx
from the outside _Jn the shifts of population it is alwiys the capable
who mave in search of fresh opportunity. The incapable stick to the
old place tke barnactes.
We have here a simple explanation of the backward tendency of
older Communities, as contrasted with the progressive spirit of the
newer ones Hence the advice so fretly and generally given out in
the [ast generation. “Go West, young man.+go West.” And the
young men da go West and they are still going West in large num-
bers to add to tlie strength and vitaluy. of that section of, our country.
Our own State of Misyssippi according to the census oF 1920,
showed a decrease of population coinpared with 1910. This 1s a
warning that the percentage of incapables is on the imerease, and
should awaken our interest and stimulale our study of this important
auestion, “Upon the proper solution of the problem growing out of
it rests our future welfare and happiness.
If the State of Mississippi is to advance we have got to took to
[the Welfare of the incompetent—to seek some means of advancing
that important hody of our citizens to the point at which they witl
become competent and thus add to the welfitre of thé State instead
fof, hating to be carried along as a burden. We have got to apply
oafselves to the advancement of those of our citizens already com-
petent that they may become more competent.
Our most evident need 14 to better, the Condition of the Negro
that his earning capacity mode of living. freedom from disease
and hopefulness of outlook may be improved There are more thin
a million Negroes in Sfagutaippi. Their individual earning eapecty
1s so small on the average, that by very Httle effort it can be
greatly increased If we inereage the Negro’s earning copanity cate
$10 a vear on the average, surely not an impractical dream, we
add every year ten million dollars to the wealth of the State. But
I be'ieve that it can be increased a great deal more than this, and
that. 1f the problem be wisely approached and followed up with vigor
and energy we can from this alone convert Mississippi from one of
the poor States to one of the rich. If the Negro wero advanced to
the limit of his capabilities this State would be the garden spot of
the world and there would be no Negro problem, for the simple
reason that the Negro will have ceased to be a burden. The Negro
problem. with all its varrous ramifications, exists only becanse the
‘Negro ie incompetent. Make him competent (and it can be done) ;
enable hum to stand alone and to carry his share of the burden:
hoid cut te hrm the hope of reward, give him the means of securing
happiness do these things, I say, and he will solve his own prob-
lems to the mhnite relief of our civilization There need be no
socia! equality af the races that tcarecrow which continually rises
te retard progress along sane lines, and the Negro race will not
want it any more than the white race”

rious states told of the progress made in their communities along economic, educational and social lines. In some instances, however, the progress was nihil but there was yet hope that conditions would be improved in the near future.
Of special interest were the methods used by John L. Clark of Monroe county, Georgia, and W. M. Long, of Douglas county, to "out-wit the ball weavil". The former related how he had "beat the pest" by changing his "money crop" from cotton to grain and the latter achieved satisfactory results by raising plenty of marketable products. Others however, were not as successful and had fought a losing battle but were not discouraged.
After following the strenuous program of the morning, the noon day session, held in Tompkins dining hall, proved very popular with the "horny hand tillers of the soil" and each one participated whole-heartedly in the program which among other things were barbecued pork and Alabama yams.
These were eaten, along with other delicacies, to the strains of music furnished by the institute band under the direction of Cantain F. L. Drive.
Afternoon Session.
At one thirty o'clock, headed by the institute band, the visitors in spite of the drizzling rain, marched to the institute chapel to "resume operations." Following a few "warming up exercises," Dr Moton welcomed the farmers to the institute saying in part
"It is a great pleasure to welcome you to Tuskegee Institute for the thirty-third annual farmers' conference. No group of people is more welcome at Tuskegee institute than you who come here from year to year to attend the farmers' conference. Dr. Booker T. Washington, who founded the institute and organized this conference always used to say that Tuskegee Institute belongs to the Negro race. It was theirs to use and enjoy and he himself was never more happy than when he saw his own people walking about these grounds in quiet contentment and with pride in the accomplishments of their race. And, of course, we are all us glad of the presence of our white friends, and for this evidence of their interest and cooperation.
Negroes Leaving South.
We meet today in the midst of widespread unrest among the farmers of the South indeed among the farmers of every section who are feeling as never before the pressure of changing economic conditions. This unrest as you know is taking thousands of men and women away from the farm of the South into the industrial plants of the North and of the South as well Attracted by the prospect of high wages, regular employment and better living conditions, they have decided to give up the fight against the boll weevil, to leave the uncertainties of the present tenant system and the one-crop routine and to start all over again in the effort to improve living conditions for themselves and to secure better educational facilities and larger opportunities for their children.
This migration has been going on now for at least eight years, beginning with the world war and continuing in fluctuating volume up until the present time. I have no doubt, my friends, that a great many of those who have gone North, East and West have greatly improved their condition by the change but from my observations on conditions in the North today and after sober reflection concerning the whole matter, I am wondering if a great many of those who have gone are not taking greater risks in the pursuit of happiness than they can well afford.
Migrants Should Think Twice
It is true that there has been and probably will be for a while at least, a large demand for labor in the North, but it behooves our men and women in the South to think twice before they are lured away from the un doubted advantages which the South offers. In the first place we must not ignore the unequaled opportunity to be found in the South for buying thousands of acres of good land at rates and on easy terms. Such an opportunity is not to be found anywhere else in the world and it is the kind of opportunities that is fundamental to the progress of any people. What ever the disadvantages which we face in the South in the last analysis they do not compare in importance with this fundamental asset of laying the foundation of progress in the soil.
Now there is some danger that we may as a race in the experiment for change overlook this fact. The records show that two years ago Negreens in Georgia were paying taxes on 1783,814 acres of land and that the year afterwards they were paying taxes on 1628,475 acres of land a decrease of nearly 100,000 acres in one year. This I have no doubt is in large measure due to the heavy migration from that
state and it is very probable that conditions are proportionately the same in the other sections. This condition has been brought about in many cases by persons who are buying land without having completely finished their payments; then when they decided to go North, they have allowed their payments to lagge and have surrendered their claim to the payments they have already made and the land goes back to the original holder.
"In the face of these facts, there are two things that should be emphasized today.
In the first place, let us continue the policy which Dr. Washington did so much to promote—of getting possession of the land. The South is a growing section; it is growing in agriculture and it is growing in manufactures and of one thing we can be perfectly sure and that is that we shall never have a better opportunity to get possession of this land than we have today. As years go by, the rich lands of the South will more and more come into possession of large corporations and individual holders of large means which will make it almost impossible eventually for the small land owner of limited means to again get possession of the soil. It is an axiom of society that the man who owns the land controls the government. Without it, there can be no solid; permanent progress.
"The second point that shall be made is this, if economic conditions should force any of us to take advantage of the opportunities offered in industrial centers let us see to it that our claim upon the land that is left behind is secure. No better use can be made of the large earnings now offered in these industrial plants than to send the money back home for claims against the farm and the home. And where the home and farm are already clear, it is both wise and safe to buy more land. I have no doubt that a great many Negro farmers have just as much land as they can reasonably take care of; but I am equally sure that there are many more of my race who do not have enough land, or do not have any land whatever, who could profit greatly by taking this opportunity to secure their own share of farm property.
In closing his remarks, Dr Moton introduced Colonel Jordan, who delivered one of the best addresses heard at Tuskegee.
Declarations Adopted.
The foll wing declarations were adopted
The wisdom of Dr Booker T. Washington in establishing the Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference continues to be manifested in farming throughout the South. That the interest of the Negro farmers themselves in this conference has not waned in the least is clearly indicated by the increasing attendance from year to year
The thirty-third Annual Conference finds an unrest presaging among Negro farmers paralleled only by that of direct result of this unrest, thousands of Negroes have left the South and have found employment in the industrial centers of the North. Many others have left the farms and settled in the manufacturing centers of the South. We would say to all the farmers of the South that these are changing times. In some sections there is much distress because of the boil weevil and other causes. On the other hand, while we recognize and appraise the opportunities offered in other industries, we would again call attention to the great and permanent opportunities on the farms. As was pointed out at the beginning of the migration in 1917 there are here millions of acres of land to be cultivated which can be acquired on very easy terms. On still more importance to us is the fact that because of the migration in the North and to the industrial centers of the South we are in danger of losing the housing which we have acquired in the soil. Because of this act also because of the progress which we have already made in and with the Tuskegee conference in the midst of the present unrest again says in the language of the great founder of the conference. Let down your lockets where you are. Let them down into the ownership of more land better farming and better homes
We take this occasion to say, a further word about the causes of unrest and some suggested remedies. The causes for this unrest are varied. The primary one is economic. The wages paid in other industries are much higher and have therefore been a stronger factor in influencing Negroes to leave the farms. The tenant system on farming, the ravages on the boll weevil, the lack of standardized markets, the lack of proper sources of credit have also done much to induce Negroes to leave the farms.
Another important reason which must be considered is the desire of farmers to educate their children. In spite of the improvements which are being made in the respect thereof, we still have a great desire to be done. We will have short school terms in many of the rural districts. There is still a wonderful lack of school buildings. These conditions make it difficult, and in some cases almost impossible for them to educate the children.
Still an important issue is the need to from farms is the lack of protection afforded Negroes by constrained authority and the lack of justice in the courts. Mole rule makes life and property insure. It often happens that there are floggings and lynchings
THE NEW YORK AGE
for the most trivial, offences and for which too frequently there is no redress in the courts. These conditions along with the poor housing have played an important part in causing the exodus of Negroes from the farms.
We would especially urge upon the farmers of the South to diversify their crops. Let us not place our entire dependence upon cotton and in what we do grow let us follow the methods of successfully raising it under boll weevil conditions. We, as farmers and those interested in the development of agriculture in the South, must see to it that provisions are made so that landlords, bankers and farm loan cooperative associations will in some way help. Negro farmers to have sufficient money and credit to carry on diversified farming which is the basis of any permanent progress among farmers.

We commend that large and growing number of planters who are seeing to it that satisfactory settlements are rendered their tenants. It is only by providing good living conditions, educational facilities and sending just settlements that tenants can be made more contented and more valuable to themselves and to their communities. We also commend that increasing number of planters in various sections of the South who are assisting, financially and otherwise, in having good school houses erected for their tenants. We urge upon the tenants, increase your reliability, keep your contracts and engagements, be faithful to your families and see that your children attend school
We urge upon all farmers, send your children to school regularly. Keep them in school until they have completed at least a high school course. We urge that the boys and girls who intend to follow farming be sent to agricultural schools for training. We urge that the farmers themselves follow closely the advice and instruction of the college experiment stations, agricultural experts, farm and home demonstration agents and agricultural teachers, attend agricultural short courses conducted by various educational institutions, provide wholesome recreation for your children, put forth every effort to carry out the slogan of this conference "Better farming, better business, better schools, better churches, better health, better homes"
Those of us white and black, who are interested in the South's development must see to it that these conditions are remedied so that our people will be contented on farms. There should be better provisions mad. for tenant-just settlements to them should become the rule. higher wages should be paid labor more and better schools should be erected and school terms should be lengthened. Ample protection should be afforded under the law in the rural districts and justice should be rendered in the courts.
This conference especially commends the varus agricultural agencies, the

work of the Rosenwald Fund, the Slater Fund, the Jeanes Foundation and the General Education Board for their effective work in improving Negro schools. We wish to express our appreciation to the editors of the southern newspapers who have fought so bravely against misrule and other forms of lawlessness. We likewise express our appreciation to the Southern Commission on Race Relations and to other agencies and individuals who are working and sacrificing to bring about better relations between the races. It is also gratifying to note the remarkable decrease in the number of lynchings during the past year and particularly do we command the State of Alabama whose record in this respect is clean.
Finally, we ask the co-operation of the whole South to join in the movement to bring to the people of the soil such conveniences, such privileges, such opportunities and such protection as will enable them to live the largest, fullest and most serviceable life.

T J Woofter of the Georgia Commission on Inter-racial Cooperation, asserted that "Public health among the colored, as well as the whites, is a matter of education and more education." He declared that the betterment of health conditions among Negroes as a matter of responsibility upon colored leaders and he maintained that there should be tuberculosis sanitariums for colored people in every state in the union.
A stirring address was that by Dr. J. J. Mulloney, president of the Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tenn. He made a strong plea for the hundreds of doctors and nurses the colored race needs "men and women of strong, moral and service-loving character." He dwelt at length upon the work the only two colored medical colleges of the United States. Howard University Medical School, Washington, D.

Larry Estridge Loses For First Time at the Commonwealth to Moore
Larry Estridge, former amateur mid-teleweight champion, met his first defeat since he began boxing at Commonwealth Club Saturday evening, January 18, when Ted Moore of England won the judges' decision after twelve fast rounds of boxing.
Moore was much the clever of the two and was able to keep out of reach of Estridge's dangerous left. Moore forced the fighting in the early rounds but was unable to do any material damage to his opponent. Toward the end Larry took the lead and made a strong finish, but was unable to even up the points. The weights were announced as Moore 1580, pounds and Estridge 1541.

As the sto y progreses, Stephen goes to Constantinople, where his father has sent him to study Turkish history Contrary to expectations, Constantinople is full of excitement for Stephen—if a revolution, the kidnapping of the Sultan's son and street fights galore count for anything.
"Stephen Steps Out" is a fast-moving comedy throughout. It is a picture all will enjoy Theodore Roberts' featured in support of the star and others in the cast include Noah Beery, Harry Meyers an Frank urrier Joseph Henabery was the direct-

Development T
Him a Well-
Occasionally we witness demonstrations that reveal sharply and clearly the immutable workings of the laws of heredity. Such an instance occurred Sunday afternoon in the music room of the Martin-Smith Music School, 139 West 136th street, when Eugene Mars Martin, violinist, played the program for the usual monthly recital. Young Martin is the eldest son of the late David Irwin Martin, founder and director of the Martin-Smith School, who was himself a violinist of more than ordinary skill. Eugene has succeeded his father as director of the institution, and he proved Sunday afternoon that he is also entitled to the wearing of his father's mantle as a violinist. A little while back he was a youthful prodigy, now he is a mature artist.
Roland Hayes Sir Large Brood
The third New York revival by Roland Hayes was given Saturday night, January 19, in the Opera House of the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, to the largest audience Mr Hayes has faced in the Metropolis. This spacious auditorium, with a seating capacity of 2200, was well-nigh completely filled. Both balconies were completely filled and there were just a few vacant seats here and there in the orchestra. Early in the evening it was announced at the law office that only the higher priced seats were available but this did not deter the long line of those anxious to hear the man who has created new traditions for the race
So continuous was the mough of the auditors that the first number was displayed ten minutes in order that the people might be seated before Mr. Hayes started singing. The program included several numbers which had been used by the artist in the first Town Hall recital, and it contained another number possessing the liveliest interest in the audience. The first of these was Hiawatha's wonderful passive care song, "Onaway Awake Beloved," from Hiawatha's 'Wedding Feast' to Samantha Coleridge Taylor. Another was the beautiful air from Massett's 'Manor the dream song.' He revered. Both these numbers had been in Mr. Hayes' repertoire before he went to Europe and his former singing of them was the foundation of a warm and pleasant memory. In his singing Saturday night, all antipatients were realised, for he developed titles of beauty inundream of by his hearers.
In the Academies of Music audition, Mr. Hayes found a setting that gave

As ought always be the case in the matter of heritage, the son gave evidence of ability to add luster to the father's crown, for he showed not only a mastery of the technique of his instrument, but a warmth of color, a lusciousness of tone, a richness of imagination, which predicates a future of great attachment for him. He gave of himself whole-heartedly in the opening number, a Bruc Concerto.

unlimited opportunity for the display of his art. Larger by nearly a third than the Town Hall the audience was given a holder and the sturdy setting and to this inspiring condition the singer responded with perhaps the finest singing he had done to Greater New York. He gave beautifully the art in appreciation of the swirling motion which the audience gave him singing on its own and in repeating it over time. Every time he set the music himself he made them better. The greatness of his art was made possible by the安排 by Lauren Bissett. He was able to tie and have the singer see the Sharp and two of Mr. Hays himself. Stallown and I have got a chance. In addition to repeating it very well he sang as an ensemble.

The testimonial dinner held at Craigle's restaurant, Thursday evening, January 17, by the welfare workers, instructors, and representative porters of the Eastern District of the Pullman service, in honor of Mr. Perry Parker of Cincinnati, Ohio, grand chairman of the Pullman Porter's Beneficial Association, and extraordinary factum of the industrial department of the Pullman Company, was an instructive as well as enjoyable affair. Even though the gastronomic and social features were everything that anyone could reasonably expect them to be, both hosts and guests seemed to derive most pleasure from the after-dinner speeches.
The toastmaster of the evening, Mr. S. J. Freeman, first introduced Exporter G. H Sylvester, styling him "the grand old young man, who will remain perennially youthful in the hearts of those who honor him." To this Mr Sylvester made a fitting response Mr W H. Deservency, the next speaker, urged the adoption of some plan for the building of a home for aged and injured porters. Mr. Fred R Moore, an honorary guest, was presented as "a man who was known to every boy, girl, man, and woman in New York; a man who called a spade a spade, and who, when black was black, designated it as such" Mr Moore, in the course of his remarks, told ohw the Jewish and Italian booth sellers were demoralizing the community with their poisonous stuff, and he called attention to the fact that they were not even content to stop at that, but were making this neighborhood the dumping ground for the most degenerate and vicious element of the white population by opening numerals in our midst. He deplored he, the apparent lethargy of the ministers of Harlem to these very obvious evils.
In presenting the honored guest of the evening, Merry Parker, the hostmaster remarked that he would not compare him to Lincoln, Gen Armstrong, nor Booker T. Washington, but would place him next in line as the man who has done, and is still doing, more good for the race as a whole by assisting it to gain an economic foothold, than any other Negro of modern times.
Mr. Parker dwelt at length on the importance of the Negro realizing that he fundamentals of good citizenship are honesty, production and thrift. He used the extreme pessimism of the executive and official personnel of the Pullman Company when he first suggested the introduction of Negro labor into certain departments of the Pullman industries. The general opinion that he encountered, he said, was that not enough competent colored employees could be secured, but through perserverance he succeeded in influencing the company to give the idea a trial trial, and as a result convinced

Ihave been saved during the great drive
‘which has been inaugurated by the pas-
tor.
One hundred and twenty persons
have been gathered into the fold dur

ing the day, thirty-five persons joined

has taken on its old-time significance

that indefmable ecstacy that makes men
geiosce in the endowment of Pemicostal
fervor.
“Pulling Them Oot Of The Fire,”
was the theme of Rev. Cullen's morn-
ing discourse. These words found in
the twenty-third chapter of Jude were
used to pletare the relative danger of
those still in sin. Sin is thus repre-
ented by fire, urged the pastor, and
as one would nse eversy endeavor to
estape fire even more 40 ought all try
to flee sin which is more consuming.
For bis evening sermon, Rev. Callen
preached from Ist Peter, Ist chapter,
12th verse §=“Salvation as offered
through Jesus Christ,” was the enter
of thougth. The hardship, and intense
sufferings of Christ were delineated
and epresaty capped with the ques-
bon, “For whoa was it all?”
