WASHINGTON "In my opinion it is a fatal mistake to teach the young black man and the young white man that the dominance of the white race in the South rests upon any other basis than absolute justice to the weaker man. It is a mistake to cultivate in the mind of any individual or group of individuals the feeling and belief that their happiness rests upon the misery of some one else, or their wealth by the poverty of some one else. I do not advocate that the Negro make politics or the holding of office an important thing in his life. I do urge in the interests of fair play for everybody, that a Negro who prepares himself in property, in intelligence, and in character to cast a ballot, and desires to do so, should have opportunity." "When you have gotten the full story of the heroic conduct of the Negro in the Spanish-American War-heard it from the lips of Napoleon soldiers and Southern soldiers. From ex-soldiers and ex-master—then decide within yourself whether a race tait is thus willing to die for its country should not be given the highest opportunity to live for its country. We have succeeded in every conflict except the effort to conquer ourselves in the blighting out of racial prejudices. Until we thus conquer ourselves, I make an empty statement when I say that we shall have especials in the Southern part of our country as cancer grazing at the heart of the Republic tait shall one day prove as dangerous as an attack from an army without or within."

IN THE MEANTIME REVENUE AGENT ALLEGED TO HAVE MADE THE ROUNDS OF THE HOOTCH HOUNDS AND TOLD THEM OF EXPECTED RAID Ministers Give as Reason for Not Joining Fight on Hootch That It Would Have Them "Following" The Age and Fred Moore!—Cocaine Sold in Loul's, 456 Lenox Ave. LATEST—Goldgraben's place was cleaned out and closed sometime Tuesday evening, February 12—"Lincoln's Birthday"—after continuing to operate despite court orders under a temporary stay secured by the bootlegger's lawyer. After two men have met violent deaths directly through their connection with the hootch joint operated by Joseph Goldgraben at 510 Lenox avenue, and after several convictions have been entered against Goldgraben for violation of the Volstead Act, it was announced Friday, February 8, that an injunction had been granted by the court for the closing of Goldgraben's place for a period of six months, and that the front door would be padlocked. Following the stabbing to death on Sunday, February 3, of John Harrison, in Goldgraben's bootlegging establishment, camouflaged as a soft drink-store, the doors of that resort had been opened and when the court action was announced, law adding citizens who have hoped for action against Harlem's bootlegers, took heart and began to think that the hootch bounds were being kennelled. A revenue agent was asked why the place, was not closed. He replied that it might be a matter of days—several days in fact—before the court judge was put into operation. In the case of the officer would come and put a padlock on the door, or he, the agent, might come up himself and lock up the hootch place. When asked why that action was not taken immediately, he stated that so Revenue Agent Talks But on Saturday morning, Goldgraben was open again and doing the same old business at the same old stand! ARREST WM. PRIDGEN ON CHARGE KILLING MAN IN HOOTCH BAR Identified by Officer as Man Connected With Stabbing Harrison to Death in Goldgraben's Saloon. William Pridgen, 28 years old, a chauffeur, was arrested on Wednesday night February 6 by Detective Connolly of the 38th Precinct, charged with having been the man who stabbed to death John Harrison bartender at Goldgraben's saloon early Sunday morning February 3. Pridgen was identified by Patrolman William L. Gos as the man who came up to him on the night of the murder bleeding and stating that some one had beat him up in Goldgraben's. The officer took the man back to the saloon to have him identify a assistant which he was unable to do officer (or then needed to resent the matter to two police officers). A few minutes later the two Harrison's was arrested in the Department of the Police and when a search was made for Pridgen he could not be found and had no place to the station.

Little's Influence Arthur and the great duke member with he was inable --- A revenue agent was asked why the place, was not closed. He replied that it might be a matter of days—several days in fact—before the court officer gets into operation. In due course, the officer would come and give a pass lock on the door, or he, the agent, might some up himself and lock up the bootch place. When asked why that action was not taken immediately he stated that, so far as he was concerned, he would do so but lacked the necessary authority. The agent in question declared that he had made the case against Goldgraben, and that contrary to the general belief, revenue agents were doing much to curb the operations of the bootlegging gentry in Harlem. He cited as a fact that injunctions had been secured against two other bootch points in Harlem at 2140 5th avenue corner 131st street, for six months, and another at 2218 Fifth avenue for four months. And that an application was pending against the saloon at 435 Lenox avenue corner 131rd street. Speaking of the activities of the revenue agents the officer said there were only three colored agents on the force at this time Harvey, Dixon and Warner. There had been other race agents, he said but they had made the mistake of thinking that getting the appointment through political influence meant that the same influence would hold them in the jobs, regardless of the work accomplished. But the colored agent, said he, has to work much harder than the other fellows and results were the only thing that counted Taking advantage of their job by being drunk half the time, or otherwise neglecting their duties, has resulted said he in the elimination of all the colored agents save the three mentioned. And emphatically declared the agent three men now in the job are doing more than their full duty. Incidentally it is contended by this representation of the race that there should be a number of other revenue agents on duty at least ten he thinks. Clergy Resent Cowardice Charge Ministers of some of the Harlem congregations who were characterized as awards in a speech made before the interdenominal Preachers' Meeting in January 4, 1924 by Fred R. Moore editor of the New York Age have expressed the opinion that the Age editor seen to was them to, as policemen working to better conditions in Harlem, the long recent the charge that they are wards and deny that they are other muzzled as befitted as was done by the editor. In the cleaning of Harlem's various smooth condition the preachers take the position that the duties are then, possibly like, the new season as the new effective weapon. The public areading comment that the minister ought the more to take the place in their central and moral each age interested forever as the people of Harlem are the people of the world and so will be the people of the world. Harlem Hootch Hounds Continue Operations Honest Enforcement Is Still Needed Prohibition Agents continue to make "bluff" raids in Harlem, but they take care only to call on the little fellows leaving Loom, Hyman, Moe, Connie, Chief Goldgraben and the other big fellows alone. Why is this the case? Harlem is flooded with poison hootch, but the Prohibition Agents can't find any—THEY SAY! Alleged bootlegging points are located under various camouflages, at the following addresses 384 404 419 431 *435 448 450 454 460 476 477 484 488 503 504 507 *510 511 512 *523 527 536 537 543 548 557 565 570 580 582 605 619 653 654 660 664 68 SEVENTH AVENUE. 2140 2200 2213 2217 2230 2245 2256 2275 2280 2300 2320 2362 2365 2420 2431 2454 2461 2467 2474 2480 2501 2522 2529 2540 2558 2574 Personal leadership on part of either Paid Moore or The Ago that is big enough to overshadow the vital need of the people. It is primarily the matter Wielding The community and, in a larger measure, the country, and in this the country has been called upon to lend its aid. "Bellow" When in Trouble. Incidentally, it might be said without successful contradiction that some of these same ministers go out of their way to "follow The Age" when such following is to their personal benefit. When to trouble or in need of assistance in "binding their axes" or in "pulling their hatchets out of the fire" these men forget about their objection to the appearance of "following Fred Moore and the Age," and it is the opinion of many interested that they should do some more forgetting and join wholeheartedly and courageously in the fight, for a Harlem freed from the vile life-destroying, law-leying bootlegging hoofhounds. And the revenue agents are urged not to defer action against these hell holes until murders of habitues occur with such horrifying frequency as to compel action of some sort. For the past record seems to bear out the allegation that the authorities, Federal, State and City, only act when some desperate condition compels. It should not be overlooked, in this connection, that a group of detectives, commanded by Commissioner Carlton Simon of the narcotic squad in person, trailed for four days and finally arrested four colored persons—three women and a man—who were suspected of being doped addicts. The arrests were made Saturday night at 225 West 63rd street, in an apartment occupied by Leon Timberlake and his wife, Bessie, who were taken in custody, with Misses Frances Johnson and Grace Viaer Agent Tipped Off Bootleggers In the meantime, Harlem's bootlegging hings—Loui, Moe, Hyman, Chief, Frosty, Dominique, Connie, and the rest—continue to boast and to enjoy an uninterrupted immunity from interference in their unbridled degrading and deanching of an entire community. In proof of this, it is authoritatively reported to The Age that on Saturday, February 22 between the hours of 5 p. and 6 p., one of the Negro revenue agents made the rounds and tipped off the hoofcyle selets to a raid that was projected for that night, warning them to remove all alcoholic concoctics to a safe place until the raid had been made. The name of this agent is in possession of the editor of The Age, and it will be given to the public if the officer is reported again as giving advance information to the Harlem haunt hounds. Under cover of the protection which we enjoy, it is alleged that Lou Immerman has added a new variation to his bootlegging place at 456 Avenue, which is camouflaged as a sea food lunch room. The pseudo-eating room is in the front, while two rooms in the rear are given over to hooch and cocaine traffic, according to the information received. The rear room, newly given over to dispensing cocaine, is occupied alternately by two women, one called Sally, the other Stella. One or the other of these women is always on duty, the room being used day and night. Lenghthornmen, drivers, and men of that type, are said to be the special grey of these women, and many of them profit for their pursuits. Another illegal proposition financed and managed by Moe and some of the other bootleggers is making *bank* for policy players. One Jack, well known in the community, is said to be bead runner for Moe, and the one who makes returns from the policy players and their investments. REV. THORANTON SUES FELLOW MINISTERS, ASKING $50,000 DAMAGES FOR CIVIL LIBER (Continued from First Page) is Affidavit to Citizen Agamat Preacher in Charge of Bethel A M E Church, New York City Says. I Was Led to That Rev M W.

It Is Said for Bishop. But Many Believe He Has Small Chance of Election Now Unless Charges of Intoxication Can Be Proved Untrue" In the news story reference was made to the fight that had been made on Dr Thornton when he was first sent by Bishop W H Heard to Bethel succeeding the Rev A R A Cooper as pastor it being stated that the assignment caused a split in the church, with church rows that continued through several months, finally to be adjusted in court, and that Dr Thornton's opponents at that time had declared "he was not the man for Bethel." The Citizen also carried an editorial in which it was urged that the charge of intoxication in the palpit was of so serious a nature that it should be fully investigated by a committee designed by the A. M. E. Church, with the suggestion that if the charges against Dr. Thornton be found true, he "should either make himself strong enough to regiat such temptation or give up the ministry." Aks $30,000 Damages. After quoting the news story and editorial, as published in the Citizen, Dr. Thornton's complaint declares that the defendants meant to imply that he was doped from use of habit-forming drugs or was infiltrated while in the pulpit of Bethel Church, and was unable to conduct the service; that he was addicted to unrestrained use of liquor, and was therefore unfit to be a clergyman or to be elevated to the bishopric. The minister dissuces the statements in the published articles—wholly false and calculated to hold him up to public batred, infamy, disgrace and ridicule. By reason of the defamatory nature of the publication, which he says has greatly injured him in reputation, fanie and credit, Dr. Thornton asks a judgment against the four plaintiffs, Dr. Cole and Gumbs, Measra. Robinson and Hate, in the sum of $50,000, together with costs and disbursements for the action. The Rev. Dr. Thornton is unanimously supported by the entire official board, the trustees and stewards-uniting in a resolution of Strong endorsement and more than one hundred members have signed affidavits attesting their belief in his innocence of the charges contained in the publications in the Freeport Citizen. A warrant of arrest has been issued to the aberiff for apprehension of Drs. Cole and Gumbs and Mr. Robinson wherever found. Tuskegee Bows At Bier Of Late John H. Washington The funeral service was held in the Institute chapel, which was erected under Mr Washington's supervision many years ago. The services were conducted by the Chaplain, the Rev J. K. W Whittaker, assisted by the Rev G. Lake Imes. A tribute was paid the deceased by the Rev Charles W Kelley and Chaplain Whittaker related the life of Mr Washington as one of simplicity, ardous labor, unifying service and unaltering devotion to God, family and friends. Resolutions were read from the Tuskegee Alumni Association and the Zeta Beta Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. The Institute choir, under Mrs. Jennie C. Lee, sang "Steal Away to Jesus," "Lead Kindly Light," "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," and "We Shall Walk Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death." Chopin's funeral dirge was played by Francis H Gow, organist Interment was made at the Institute Cemetery. Mr Washington was born in Halesford, Va. 70 years ago and was educated at the Hampton Institute, graduating in 1899. After teaching a year, he held a position of the United States Engineering Corps, which was then occupied in improving the Kanawa River. In 1885 he joined his brother at Tuskegee, seving as business agent, Commandant of Cadets and Superintendent of Industries, which position he held until 1915.

Another splendid meeting was held to create sentiment for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill now before Congress at Abyssinian Baptist Church, the Rev A Clayton Powell, pastor, on Sunday afternoon, February 10. Congressman Hamilton Bish, a former captain in the Old Fifteenth Regiment, was the principal speaker and delivered a masterly address. He told the audience that Negroes controlled the political elections of twenty, northern and western states and said if they united on some specific piece of legislation they could get it. He also took occasion to read a letter which he had written the President urging executive clemency for the imprisoned members of the 24th Infantry. He urged the audience to write similar letters. Congressman Fish also warned his hearers that the Dyer Bill would pass the Senate only when the Negroes demanded its passage in such large numbers that there could be no doubt that its passage was desired. Other excellent addresses were made by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, of Washington, D. C., and by the Rev Elbert W. Moore, director of work among Negroes of the American Baptist Society. Both were eloquent in urging the race to not become indifferent to its members in southern states who have not the opportunities and advantages we enjoy James Weldon Johnson, the secretary of the Association presided, and in making his introductory remarks said that he always considered the singing of "America," as more of a prophecy—an ideal to work toward—than an accomplished fact. Miss Borrowough concluded her address by urging her hearers to sing this song, believe it and work until the country was what the words of the song described it to be. Musical numbers were rendered by Miss Revella Hughes and Paul Robson. The invocation was by Rev Jeter and the benediction by the Rev C. Alleyne of New Rochelle.

C.—In its call for the observance of Sunday, February 17, as Race Relations Day the Federal Council of Churches points out that the race problem has now extended to the North and West This is due in a large measure to the widespread migration of Negroes from the South to the industrial centers. There are, it says, ten and a half million Negroes in the United States The call which has gone to scores of thousands of churches, says "there is danger of racial clashes in localities North and South." The observance of the day is under the Commission on Race Relations, of which Dr W. W Alexander of Atlanta, Ga., and Dr George E. Haynes of New York are secretaries. It calls for the exchange of pastors between white and colored churches and for both white and colored laymen to speak on race cooperation. The day was instituted for the first time last year and was so widely observed, especially in the South, that it has been decided to make it an annual affair. Word has just been received by the commission from W. R.

J—Colored teachers in New Jersey have taken up the matter of discrimination in salaries paid in colored schools of that state as against salaries paid white schools, and a committee has been named by the Organization of Teachers of Colored Children to investigate this condition. At the annual meeting of the body held last May, the committee on information reported that in Salem, Cape May, and Monmouth Counties colored teachers are being paid from $100 to $200 per annum less than white teachers, and at a meeting of the executive committee held up December last it was found that the same condition exists in other counties as well.

And this tendency reflects a far reaching change in the economic and social life of America today, in the opinion of Dr Louis Dublin, statistician. Brefly stated, the life span of the American Negro has been lengthened by five years during the last decade. This is due to two great factors. First of these is the increasing interest on the part of the organized public health movement in the well-being of the Negro and more especially the nursing health service. The second is the awakening of the Negro race to its opportunities for better conditions of life and labor. Death Rate Decreasing. While the death rate among the Negro population is still in excess of that among white persons, the gap is gradually lessened. Control is being gained over tuberculosis, typhoid fever, malaria and other diseases which caused high death rates among Negroes ten years ago. This is being brought about by the Negro himself, Dr. Dublin believes, through his press and other facilities for teaching prevention measures, as well as through other public health agencies. The condition of the Negro in towns and cities of the North as well as the South is much improved in recent years, and Dr Dublin's studies indicate that the improvement will probably continue. Concrete figures regarding the health and life span are found in the records of Negroes insured by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Most of these are dwellers in communities in 1911 and 1912 it is shown the colored boy or girl ten years old could expect to live an average of 41 years and two months more. In 1922 the Negro lad who became ten years old could expect to live 46 and nine months longer an increase of about 5.12 years. The Negro girl who became ten years old in 1922 according to these studies might expect to live 46 additional years or nearly as long as her brother. As compared with the outlook among white persons this gain in the span of the average colored man's life was only slightly lower among white men. And colored girls were found to have prospect of an average gain of a year and four months over white girls of the same age African Students To Meet at Tuskegee, Ala Tuskeger Institute, Ala.

MINISTERS WHO WEAR MUZZLES The charge made openly at a session of the Inter-Denominational Preachers' Meeting of New York City, that some of the ministers were muzzled and others bribed by the bootlegging and cabaret interests of Harlem, is too serious to be allowed to go without comment. This charge was made by the adjournor of The Age, who was present by invitation and spoke on the matter of enforcing the Eighteenth amendment. He urged the cooperation of the ministers and asked their aid in fighting the existing condition which threaten the home and church life of the community. The fact that the body adopted a resolution to cooperate actively in the fight against Harlem hooch hounds indicated that the majority of the preachers were sound on the subject. The inactivity and indifference of the few who have remained passive in this fight to the extent of warranting the charge that they were muzzled, has sought to be excused on such frivolous grounds as "no going to be led by an outsider," or "not submitting to newspaper dictation." This is too frivolous to be taken at all seriously. The Age has never sought to lead or dictate to the ministry or to any denominational body. On the contrary it has sought to serve the churches of all denominations by allowing liberal space every week to their doings. It has always sought to inspire and preserve respect for the ministry and to keep it worthy of all respect. If individual ministers have failed to prove themselves worthy of their charge, The Age has called upon the church to protect itself by disciplining the unfaithful preachers. Those preachers who have allowed themselves to be muzzled by the bootlegging interests may have fallen into a trap cunningly devised for them. When a generous stranger proposes to make a substantial donation for the benefit of a church, the pastor is not inclined to scrutinize his motives too closely. The church is invariably needy and the donation is accepted with thanks. But when the generous stranger makes his gift an individual one for the pastor's personal benefit, it behooves the recipient to remember the ancient law, "Beware of the Greeks when they bear gifts." The modern version would probably substitute "bootleggers," regardless of nationality, as the gift is a bribe intended to buy a muzzle for the preacher. Those of the ministers who have spoken out holdly against the violators of law and the destroyers of decency, are to be commended for doing their duty. It is not enough for the preachers of this day to paint the glories of paradise and the wearing of golden slippers and assembling golden stairs. They must address themselves to the task of making this earthly existence more like paradise and pointing the way to earn common sense shoes and climb the ladder of economic independence. Above all they should fight against those evils which work against righteous living. Poison hooch hatch is one of the greatest of these evils as it destroys both body and soul. Let the ministers who have kept silence on the hooch issue cast off their masters and speak out like men. MINISTERS WHO WEAR MUZZLES.

The recent death of Woodrow Wilson the war president of the United States after a ingering illness of over four years recalls the sentiments which The Age expressed when he went to office for the second time it said in its March 8, 1917 The recent death of Woodrow Wilson the war president of the United States after a lingering illness of over four years recalls the sentiments which the Age expressed when he went into office the second time it said in its address March 8, 1917. The oppose to be the President of the whole people is regard to party race or color. He is from the necessity of catering to the interests of the partisan aims. Concerns responds to be assured of the truth and true man of both parties interests of the nature at large. This position authority should be ground on the trust would embrace the citizenship in the Rep.

That Mr. Wale is a competent table justly the best entertained as a That Mr. Walsh is a person to take to justice, the life he has entertained is a matter of history. Nevertheless, the emergencies of the World War prompted him to a broader attitude toward the Negroes of the country, in order to enlist their active cooperation in war activities and arouse their patriotism and keep it at the highest pitch. It was this motive that brought about the appointment of Emmett J. Scott as an assistant to the Secretary of War and made him a sort of liaison officer in maintaining amicable relations between the Negro soldiers and the department. It also helped to bring about the measure of representation given the race, inadequate though it may have been, in the matter of officers and official recognition. If Woodrow Wilson had been free to live up to the spirit of the letter he wrote to Bishop Alexander Walters before his elevation to the Presidency, he might have truly been known as the "President of Humanity." But his Southern antecedents and connections were too binding. Unfortunately some of the evils that grew out of these connections were handed down as a legacy to the Republican administration, which still suffers them to exist. "The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones." While deploring the departmental discriminations introduced under Mr. Wilson's administration, let us remember the measure of good that resulted for the race from many of his war measures. ORIGIN OF SANHEDRIN Several inquiries have been made as to the reason why Dean Kelly Miller applied the title of "Sanhedrin" to the race conference to be held in Chicago this month. As it was quite a while since we had heard the term applied to a gathering of this kind, recourse had to be taken to the dictionary for the exact meaning and derivation of the term. The latest edition of Webster's Unabridged defines Sanhedrin or Sanhedrin, as it is variously spelled, as a noun, Hebrew sanhedrin, derived from two Greek words, meaning Several inquiries have been made as to the reason why Dean Kelly Miller applied the title of "Sanhedrin" to the race conference to be held in Chicago this month.

Assembly, council;—applied to two kinds of such bodies, (a) more fully Great Sandhedrin, the supreme council and tribunal of the Jews, developed out of the municipal council of Jerusalem and consisting of 71 members. It met daily except on Sabbaths and festivals. According to the rabbinical tradition, the council was presided over by a president, the Nassi (literally, prince) and a vice-president, the Abbeldin or Abekdin, (literally, father of the court of justice) (b) More fully Small, or Lesser, Sanhedrin, one of the provincial councils of 25 members, which had jurisdiction over minor civil and criminal cases. The American Encyclopedia (Appleton's) supplemented this information to the following extent Sanhedrim (accurately, sanhedrin), a Hebrew word formed from the Greek, assembly the supreme council of the Jews in later times Traditionally its origin is traced to the 70 elders appointed by Moses, but its Greek name and the absence of earlier historic mention point to a time after the Macedonian supremacy. Its full development was under the earlier Asmonecans, and Herod when procurator of Galilee, was summoned before the sanhedrim, charged with usurping its authority in sentencing men to death. Its members were chosen from the chief priests, elders and scholars, and the tradition is that there were 70 heads the norm or president. There was a vice president who was called "father of the council." The usual meeting place was a hall called lishkath hagozhar (thewn stone chamber) within the temple enclosure. Before it Jesus was arraigned as a tase prophet and Peter, John Stephen and Paul, as tase teachers its power was nearly destroyed by Herod the Great, who put to death almost all its members. The Tat mud also mentions a lesser sanhedrim of 23 members in every city of Palestine in which there were as many as 120 tamilies. We do not know whether it was the Greek origin of the word or the Jewish traditions surrounding it that influenced Dean Miller in his selection judging from the names that appear on the program of speakers the chief priests, elders and scholars were fully represented. With the furnishing of the lishkath haggazith and the election of the right kind of nasi and abbetdin the sanhedrin should show Chicago and tell the world at large.

Governor Whitfield, according to a Jackson news dispatch, said in his inaugural address The State of Mississippi has a new Governor who took office the first of the year. If his inaugural address means anything, he is a distinct variation from the Vardaman and Bibo type of governors who have clunged Mississippi so deep in the murge of race hatred and intolerance. Governor Whitfield, according to a Jackson news dispatch said in his inaugural address, The Negroes have been the first to enter one half of Mississippi in population. We for a new era a change in our economy, any reorganization in our agriculture, which leaves them out is doomed to failure. We would work out our own economic salvation we must at the same time take their belong into consideration. There is a definite relation between their happiness and prosperity and that of the state as a whole. If we would and these labors in the South we must compete with the northern employer on this terms. We must improve working and living conditions, look after the Negro health tester manual training and modern agricultural methods, and see to it that at all times the less favored black man shall get a square deal in busness relations and in the courts. Our own self interest prompts us to maintain considerations devised by Christ an duty as a more favored person in this upon us. In encouraging to learn a fifty per cent decrease the number of ambitions in the past we must. While molle violence is no means rededicated to the presence anywhere and everywhere we must law and order and a better recognition of the equality of man in the hapless life. I call upon a better training all in the commonwealth to make me feel the power to protect and make it a potent cause and feeling. it is not there was no interest as a motive for giving the Negro a square deal, it is easier to credit him with meaning exactly what he said. If the other state and county officials and the white people of Mississippi would heed his utterances and cooperate along the lines he laid out, improvement would result in both economic and racial conditions. One of the results of migration is to be seen in the outspoken utterances of such enlightened Southerners as the new Governor of Mississippi. S. ELIZABETH FRAZIER The passing of Miss S. Elizabeth Frank emphasizes the important part that women are now playing in modern affairs. It is to her lot as a graduate of the Normal College to furnish occasion for the decision the school authorities of New York City to the position of teacher in the public school system was open to qualified candidates without regard to color. Her thirty-five years of active service as a successful structor fully justified this decision. Her service during the World War in organizing the Woman's Auxiliary to the Nineteenth Regiment, afterwards 369th A. E. of which she served as president until death, was another evidence of her public spirit. This organization did splendid work in looking after the comfort of the soldier and their dependents. The military home paid the deceased by the entire regiment constituted a fitting tribute to her unweary exertions. Her life was an active and busy one in caring for others. The passing of Miss S.

TO MEET INDUSTRIAL NEEDS The letter of Eugene Kinckle Jones, the executive secretary of the National Urban League, published in the last issue of The Age, was a most welcome assurance of the decision of this organization to extend the work so as to meet the problem of the distribution of Negro migrants, as they come to Northern industrial centers. The provision of a National Industrial Department set forth in this communication is an indication that this needed work will be taken up in a systematic and practical manner. As has been frequently pointed in referring to this matter, the Urban League is the best fitted among our existing organizations to cope with this situation. It has the machinery suitable for that purpose, together with a corps of trained workers available for the task. It only needs the spirit of human service, coupled with practical methods in handling the various details, to enable to bring order out of confusion and avoid possible danger due to congestion of migrants in centers already filled to their capacity. In considering this matter of distribution one or two suggestions might be offered to practical openings to be found for the newcomers, in which their previous training may be utilized. The possibilities offered by truck farming, in such sections as New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland in the Lakes and Illinois and Kansas in the West, should be carefully investigated, with a view to a certainting whether those workers who have been tillers of the soil in the South could find profitable and permanent employment in this line. The statement that the Pullman Company employs more than 1,700 colored shop workers at such points as Chicago, Buffalo, Louis and Wilmington Del as made by Director Parker head of the social worker for the company is also suggestive of other openings along industrial lines. These employees are stated to be engaged in every department of the company's activities, including the electrical division upholstering painting, carpentry cabinet making mairress, laundry and machine departments. Many women are to be found in the laundry and mattress shops, some of them in supervisory positions. An intensive survey of the entire industrial situation should be made which the Urban League is in a position to do better than any other organization. The cooperation of the preachers should be enlisted in the smaller communities where the present number of Negro workers is small and where the industrial opening would warrant a larger influx. Many of these migrants coming from the smaller places of the South could more easily adapt themselves to the environment in a small town, the North than to the hurry and bustle of the larger cities. The settlement as permanent members of such a community and their affiliation with local church organizations would be advantageous to both parties. The relations of the labor unions to the skilled workers who are already working in mechanics in the North is well as those who may be added to this number should be taken up for careful consideration. Some of the unions in New York announced their intention of taking the Negro workers as members in order to attain the existing scale of wages and pay the migrants from becoming a shareholder. We were of this decision the last year.

Justification. Some of the unions in New York City announced their intention of taking the Negro workers as members in order to maintain the existing scale of wages and protect the migrants from becoming a cheap labor. The work of this department is the same as that of the other labor unions. The National League for Labor has taken a stand but has not so far with the right to withhold compensation from the indispensable human resource. exercised and a practical treatment of the various phases of the problem that will arise, there is no reason why it should not perform valuable service, not only to the race but to the nation and to humanity. Encouragement and a helping hand will undoubtedly greet its efforts from all other welfare agencies, as well as the Negro press and all friends of humanity. A bill has been introduced in the New York Legislature providing for the admission of children between the ages of nine and twelve years to moving picture shows, unaccompanied by a parent or guardian. It also provides that the management shall engage a matron, who shall look after their children. The bill is said to have been introduced at the instigation of a theatrical promoter of this city. It should be killed without delay The shipping news reporter of a New York daily, in describing the midwinter throng sailing one day last week for European travel, enumerated among those passengers booked on the steamship Paris of the French Line the name of Roland Hayes, with this description appended "American tenor." The musical critic for the same paper, in another place, referred to the same singer as "negro tenor," with a small "n." This would seem to indicate that when Mr. Hayes goes abroad to sing he is simply an American artist, but so long as he remains in America, he is to be labelled according to his color. Abroad his standing as an artist reflects credit on the country of his birth. At home his standing as an artist is sought to be circumscribed by his race.

The sporting editor of a Chicago weekly tried to interview him but his lack of knowledge of French proved a bar as he only understood the few English words of Siks's vocabulary which consulted principally of fight, gun "girl," cabaret and taxicab. We pretty fair sporting vocabulary at that. We noted by the roster published in the Buffalo American that the Fraternal Order of Roosters is entitled to ten delegates in the All-Race Conference at Chicago, otherwise known as Dean Kelly Miller's Sabredrin. This would seem to insure that if any crowding is to be done at the meetings competent performers will be on hand to do it. The Minnesota Messenger asserted in an editorial headline that "Negroes need President action—not words." It explained this need as follows President Cooke has the power to remove racial discrimination in Federal office or elsewhere. It would be removed if imprisoned, an executive order from President Obama appears that most of Negro leaders are most interested in personal unite on political speaking than in the glitter of those they represent. Most of them want to be and still attend. When government places a judge of inferior justice Negro weeps by segregation in special under the dome of the Capitol at Washington where the representatives of all governments and all peoples meet parades its powers at state to the Negroes, sets an example that has been followed in terror law and makes the Constitution of the U.S. and amendments therein so far as the rights of black men and women are protected broken faith of this court, which promises, but does not broken faith of this regiment, which promises but does not equal all exact treatment all time. This discrimination against government employees bears a scandal, which was introduced under the White Admiral constitution it is alleged is still known to the Democratic Party, they retained under Republican rule.

Chicago WHIS said: This paper has long recognized and respected the power of the church in the community, it has long appreciated the influence that it maintained upon the actions of men and it has long wondered why the church has hesitated and procrastinated upon the vital and inescapable problems which confronted men when they left the sacred walls of their worshipping places. The determination of Dr Williams to and in the securing to the people of his race their rights and privileges is deserving of the highest commendation. It marks the dawning of a new day in the affairs of black folks. Our system of politics played a most important part in check-mating the work of the church. Local politicians have made it possible for our districts and communities to become the seething cauldron of vice and infamy. They have caused minds to decay, souls to stupefy and men to perish. They have shunted young men and women from straight and narrow paths of righteousness into the line of least resistance—the easiest way. They have militated toward keeping us wage slaves and dupes for unholy systems. The entrance of Dr. Williams upon the scene in Chicago means that four million Christians will soon challenge intelligently the unmitigated privilege of our former deceivers to corrupt our dwelling places and exploit our votes There is encouragement in this announcement for those ministers of Harlem, who have arrayed themselves on the side of civic righteousness. The church-militant will finally become the church triumphant The Pittsburgh American insists that DEAREST SISTERS I enjoyed reading the letters in the column last week.

The lines are cast off on the piers—the engine commences to work and the ship moves gracefully towards the open sea. In yonder distance looms the specter of the storm. Then comes its lashing fury and the dismal engulfing-bellowing seas sweep her peaceful decks. For many a torturous night and day the ship becomes a hapless victim to the relentless deluge of the storm's fury. Passengers seemingly on the verge of their eternal sleep bemoan their fate over their voyage on this particular ship. In the midst of those frightful moments there is a stout, strong, courageous heart—a heart that knows by years of experience that the storm will be abated, and so the captain's ever hopeful of the storm's abatement, and his courage and determination to reach port finally succeeds over the lashing fury of the death-raging elements—Then comes the happy moments of destination reached. This is a true picture of our business struggles. The storms and vicissitudes of a business struggle have been, and will ever be overcome by our recognizing and exercising the same courage—the same determination, and the same fortitude which brings a ship to her port of destination after the sufferings from a storm-swept, briny voyage.

First Emmanuel Church The eleven o'clock services at the church on Sunday morning were very impressive. Pastor Bolden's text was: "Let us go forth therefore unto Him without camp, bearing His reproach," Hebrews 13 13. He said: "The great trouble in the world today is that there is not enough emphasis laid on the word personality. There are many definitions to the word personality, but we will only give two so that you might know the trend of our talk. The first is, That which distinguishes or characterizes *n* persons the second is, That which constitutes a person. You can see by this that personality has a great deal to do with a person. Your personality is influenced by your environment, and also your education. One strengthens, the other upifts. Lincoln, Washington and many other statesmen had wonderful personalities. B ntwhat is most needed in the world to-day is a divine personality in people. More Christ-like people are needed. If you look at the different things that happen in history you discover a breath of divinity in them. There was a breath of divinity in Columbus when he discovered this country. There was a breath of divinity in Queen Isabella of Spain, who made it possible for him to discover America. There was a breath of divinity in the men who signed the Declaration of Independence, declaring that all men are created free and equal. There was a breath of divinity in Abrabam Lincoln, the great emancipator. All of these characters mentioned, consciously or unconsciously, were guided by a divine mind a power stronger than their own. There should be no contempt on the part of Christians for Thomas, one of the disciples; he doubted because he had not seen, but when it was revealed unto him, he made a greater exclamation than any of the other disciples. What God wants to-day is a man outside the gate, bigger than a Democrat, bigger than Republican, bigger than a Socialist, bigger than any organization, to proclaim His truth, that He is God. Jesus Christ the Emmanuel, the Only Potentate, the Only Ruler, The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. There was no Literary Society At 8 o'clock, the evening service convened Pastor Bolden's text was "Seeing then that we have a great high Priest, that is lapsed on into the heavens, Jesus the on of God, let us hold fast our profession." Hebrews 4 14. The dinner was served during the day by the members of the choir, and what was received from the same was turned over to the church On Monday evening, February 18, there will be memorial services at the church in honor of the deceased wife of the Chief Pastor of First Emmanuel, Mrs Medora Elizabeth Bolden. The various churches will have representatives to speak at this service. The music will be rendered by the choir. On Thursday evening, February 14 Valen this Night, a content will be given at the church under auspices of the C. B. M. Circle. St. Mark's M. E. Church. On Sunday, February 10, the morning and evening services of St. Mark's M. E. Church were largely offended. The pastor, Dr. John W. Robinson was the speaker at the morning and delivered a powerful sermon. Text: lit Kings; 19th chapter and 15th verse. Theme "A Noble Purpose." Lincoln Day was faintly observed at the morning service. An able address was made by Mrs. Josephine Holmes. Fresher who vividly portrayed the life and characteristics of Abraham Lincoln.

Mr Scotland, lt Vice President, in charges. Next Sunday will be observed as "Father and Sons" day. In the evening Dr. Robinson will preach a special sermon on the relationship between father and son. The reception to the new members which was held Tiday evening February 8, was largely attended. Able addresses were made by Rev. Dr. Harris, pastor of Grance M. E Church, Dr. Robinson and the president or the auxiliaries of the church. Refreshments were served free. Mrs Emma Bell, chairman. Rush Memorial Church. Despite the heavy downfall of snow, quite a representative group attended the eleven o'clock services. Dr Oliver preached on the subject of "Conceit" Text Romans 12.3.16. The discourse had two principal outlines (1) Conceit Defined; (2) Some Great Concepts. The speaker told of the good and the evil acquired through conceit. At three o'clock, Rev. Herbert, a baptist evangelist, delivered a sermon under the auspices of one of the auxiliaries for the benefit of the spring ally. Rev A. Johnson, pastor of Mt Taber A M E. Zion Church, Catkill N Y., preached from Acts 16 25. His sermon was based on the value of prayer The State Organization Contest held last Thursday night was one of the series of affairs to be given by Mrs. Oliver for the remodeling of the basement fund. It was well attended, and was a financial success. Fred R. Moore, presided. Mrs. Oliver's organization, representing "Virginia" won the prize, while Miss Ruth Brown's group, representing New York carried second honors. Friends and members of Rush are invited to accompany the pastor to Fleet Street Church, Brooklyn, Sunday afternoon at three o'clock, where he will preach for the pastor and members of that church. St. James Presbyterian. In St. James Presbyterian Church, 59-61 West 137th street last Sunday, Dr Hyder discussed the dominant trait in the public life of Abraham Lincoln. This trait, said the preacher was that Lincoln was never misted by seductive expedencies when looking for right principles upon which to base governmental action. Lincoln thought that as a matter of justice and right, the bondmen should be freed. The way by which he reached this conclusion was in view of the circumstances c cultious, but no one idy-hip reads this state paper when the subject of freedom and justice were uned, review, can doubt that his ultimate objective was emancipation. Lincoln was not deceived or scared by specious arguments of state rights. His memory would be honored in no better manner today than by the passage of a Federal anti-lynching bill with a full set of teeth which would show that the general government can no longer b. fooled by the subterranean argument of state rights. At the evening services, Dr. Hyder spoke briefly of Frederick Douglas. He said that Douglas stood out as a shining example of a man who demanded that the hero be given what belonged to him instead of what prejudice wanted him to have: St. David's P. E. Church. On that Sunday, at St. David's, large congregations were present at both services. After the morning service the vicar conducted the funeral office for John J. Booth, a member of the mission and the advisory board. At the evening service the annual thanksgiving sermon was preached also by the vicar, Rev'd Dr. E. G. Clifton, to the St. David's Benevolent Guild On Ash Wednesday at 8 p. m., the bishop of the diocese will visit the mission and confer the holy rate of confirmation to a class now forming, members and friends of the Mission are reminded of the pre-lenten recital to be given in the church on Friday evening, February 29. Salem Church and Lyceum. The morning sermon was delivered by the Rev. J. H. Reed a returned missionary to Africa. The text was from Psalm 81. 1 and 2. In the course of his sermon Dr Reed made many references to his experience on the Dark Continent covering eighteen LYN CHURCHES BROOKLYN BROOKLYN CHURCHES Siloam Presbyterian Church In spite of the storm Sunday, Siloam had a splendid congregation at the morning worship. The pastor, Rev. George Shippen Stark took his morning's message from Mark 6:5-6 "And He could there do mighty work, save that He laid His hands upon a few sick folk, and called them. And He marvelled because of their unbelief" Showing how one must have faith in God for Him to be able to give the help He would like to. All belief is not faith, we must have trust and belief before we can have faith Three new members united with the Church, Mr and Mrs Robert Mills, and E. B Sewell Mr and Mrs Braithwaite presented their little son, Victor Chaucey for baptism, and Mr and Mrs Swam presented their little son and daughter for baptism, Edward Earl and Fannie Irene, Robert Leon Mills also received baptism Bible School convened at 1:30. The attendance was not as large as usual on account of the weather. The evening service was given to the "Boy Scouts" in observance of "Scout Week." A very interesting address was delivered by the pastor on "Three Men" Taking Lincoln, Douglas and Sanford as the men. Lincoln for honesty, Douglas for "Getting on" having a purpose in life, and Sanford for friendship, such as was shown by him during the "World War" for his comrade and friend. The fifteen neighborhood player meetings held on Wednesday night were encouraging. While some had small attendance they had excellent reports on the Spiritual work accomplished. These meeting will continue for the following two weeks. This is Boy Scout Week and Sloane Troop No. 28 began their observance on Saturday, with an observation Hike to Prospect Park (On Sunday afternoon they had their Blue Study) with a devotional service in the evening Monday night: "Parents Night Wednesday Night Scouts Special Night" On Saturday the Girl Scouts held parts in the Parish House in connection Miss Dorotha Collehil Vermeir Pardo, Thelma Pardo, Lila Jeffers Thelma Buchanan Winnifred Taylor and Alberta Blagrove who were graduates from Grammar School.

Cooper, pastor, preach on "The Kent Veil," portraying sin as the veil between man and God, with the sacrifice of Jesus Christ as the Sword that split the curtain baring man from the inner sanctuary of God's forgiveness. The text was the triple declaration, "The veil of temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom," as sound in Matthew 7:51. Mark 15:38 and Luke 23:43.

TO GROW AS WE SERVE Best Interests of New York Musicians Conflicting. Each musician is interested only in his own program. We must regulate this condition and compel some attention to our rivals. But after all it is only a tempest in a tea pot! This same state of affairs, however affords a splendid analogy for another situation infinitely more serious and more important. Organizations of New York are creating loud their views and their grievances and their demands. The leaders and the contractors are doing the same. The promoters and managers are not organized, but their protesting clamor fills the air. None of these fractions pay the slightest attention to the wishes of the other. Each is interested only in its own program. The result is that the New York musicians are filling the air with discord and discontent. This condition has great disadvantages. Thus life has anyone, discovered the strong hand that can control these conflicting situations and make them show consideration for one another. So what are you going to do about it? We must face facts. We must make facts our guide. We must first common a sufficient number of trained men to develop the main acts properly. Then we must all in the conduct interests and keep them in the facts in the mind and the facts in the state the prejudice. Whereupon we will be at the point of agreeing to With a great interest in the real world of the arts, we have a very special interest in music.

Half of this sum is placed by John D. Rockefeller in condition that the balance is passed. The annual report presented by the executive secretary Eugene H. Jones stated in part as follows: In Atlanta Georgia, Neighboring service organizations including the Atlanta Urban League were taken to the newly organized Community Chest and the colored centers of Atlanta contributed towards the total budget, approximately what the organization is able to receive from the chest. In total money allotted the Negroes for the Chest was $17,950—the Negroes for the Chest was $17,950—the Negroes for the Chest was all of the cities with chests when the League is located. Our local organizations in industry center such as Chicago, Denver, Kansas City, Cleveland, Columbus, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Newark and the places have found homes for Negro workers placed them in positions interceded in their behalf with employers in an effort to secure faster treatment and more consideration as to wages and advancement when merited.

HOGARS Beginning February 16, 1924, copies of The New York Age will be on sale at the refreshment stand of George Sylvester located in the Most Haven Yards. This stand should, be a convenient point of distribution for a Negro newspaper, due to the fact that nine or six thousand Negro workers, including porters, dining car employees and car cleaners, enter and leave these yards daily. No doubt three-fourths of the number read newspapers daily. But what percentage of this number read the Negro papers? We don't know, but we believe the number is relatively small. Negroes should read Negro papers and the failure to do so is somewhat of a racial negligence. If the Negro would read Negro papers with half the enthusiasm he gives to the white man's papers that seldom mention Negro activities perhaps a great deal more might be learned of what the Negro is really doing. Then there is the psychology of reading newspapers and the effect they have upon the mind. When we read the white man's paper we naturally imitate the white man's point of view, which is very often the wrong point of view, especially when it comes to questions of our race. Then the in busing and reading our own newspapers we help to build Negro business and the more we buy of them we better an stronger Negro bus business becomes. There little use meddling at children along business and professions unless we establish what they may be employed and paired in which they might learn the practical side of hostness or the practical side of their professions. In mentioning these things, we do not Negro should read Negro papers only so we believe that they will cut them along with the other papers.

Tenant Hurt By Falling Ceiling Wins Case; Higher Court, Affirms Verdict An interesting decision has just been handed down by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of this county in the case of Mrs Charlotte Roberts, who lived with her daughter, Ms Lillian Crocker, in the apartment house at 323 West 142nd street. Mrs Roberts was asleep in a bedroom in the apartment when she was hurt by the ceiling falling upon her, and a jury in the County Court, Bronx County gave her a verdict of $1,000 against Elias H Lang who was lessee of the house. He appealed the case to the higher court upon two grounds first, that Mrs Roberts knew that the ceiling was in a defective condition for a long time, and that she nevertheless continued to sleep directly under it in spite of the deliberate restraint Lang imposed consequently she was herself to blame for the mishap, and second, that as he was only lessee of the house, it was not his duty to keep the ceilings in repair, but that responsibility devolved upon the owner of the premises. He sought to take advantage of the fact that the Tenement House Law requires "owners" to keep the premises in good repair, and as he was not the owner he claimed he could not be held responsible for the failure to keep the ceiling in good condition. The higher court evidently did not take much stock in either of these contents because it affirmed the decision of the lower court and thus definitely decided that even a lessee is obliged to keep all parts of a tenement house in good repair. This is a severe blow to many lessees of apartment houses who have been trying to do as little repairing as possible. The verdict given in May, 1922, was one of the largest evidences in the courts in a case of this kind. Her attorneys were Brand & Bernstein 1482 Broadway. Harlem Tuberculosis Com.
