In a flurry of activity on Saturday night and Sunday morning, Federal agents finally made a stab at liquor selling at Connie's Inn, 131st street and Seventh avenue. One of the waiters, Harry Brooks, was arrested, and the revenue men claim to have found alleged whiskey on his person. On Monday night Commissioner Enright called his squad of special service men, some 250 or more, to head quarters and proceed to send the cloak act to them. The police head told the men they were throwing him down. He declared they were not enforcing the law and that he knew who the shirkers were.

Agreement was reached at a conference on Monday, February 25, between the President, Chairman Adams of the Republican National Committee, Cohen and other Republican leaders that no other nomination for the Comptrollership would be sent to the Senate during the present session of Congress. Upon adjournment of Congress it is understood that Cohen will be given a recess appointment under which he would be permitted to serve until Congress convenes next fall. Failure of Sen.

Tammany Democrats are having a lot of explaining to do these days; since it was exclusively told in The New York Age of February 28 that Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York had cast his vote against the confirmation of Walter L. Cohen as Comptroller of Customs at the Port of New Orleans. The backbone of Tammany's appeal to the Negro vote in New York City has been a professed friendliness for the race and a willingness to grant any recognition possible to colored men The Tammany man have boasted all along that since was a backboard of all these protestations on part of the New York Democratic machine. mouthed and stentorian in its utterance, just the same.

There building permit which was issued recently called for completion of the job in 10 days. The apartments will be three four and five rooms with all modern improvements. The construction of these apartments was brought about through the efforts of The Age to have capital relieve the congestion of the district by building more apartment houses on the many vacant plots.

Negro Democrats in New Jersey and Maryland, who have looked up to Senators Edwards and Small as men who would prove each to be a Moses in leading the Democratic Party out in the fair light of an equal opportunity for all, regardless of race or color, are also busy now chewing the cud of reflection and wondering what it means. It is regalled by thoughtful colored men that Senator Copeland was to be regarded as an exceptionally good man, and under subjugation it came to a question of subjugation the rights and privileges of any man or race, and in the face of his action in voting with the southern Senators Brussard and Ransdell, whose only objection to Cohen was his color, New York colored Tammanyites are wondering how they can face the world.

WEDNESDAY A. M.—Latest reports from Harlem Hospital are that David Harris has developed pneumonia and is too sick to undergo a probing operation. He is, being held as a prisoner in Ward 3, a uniformed officer being on constant guard in the ward. David Harris, 49, of 509 East 173rd street, The Bronx, is in the Harlem Hospital with three heavy bullets in his left breast as a result of shots fired from a 45-calibre automatic by a drunken police officer attached to the Special Service Division operating from downtown headquarters. The officer, Howard Clancey, was also taken to the hospital to be treated for cuts received from broken glass when he, in a drunken frenzy, smashed the glass in the front door of Cafe Boulevard at southeast corner of 133rd street and Seventh avenue and forced his way into the place, shooting a. he entered. Another man, Paul Lightfoot, of 32 West 183rd street, went home with a bullet in his left arm above the elbow, as a result of the promiscuous shooting indulged in by Hyman, the bootlegger recently laid in his employee a young Hebrew who bore the name of Goldberg. But the man is no longer in Hymans employ. Goldberg formerly a business keeper at northwest corner of 113th street and Ten at overrice lost his money in business ventures and finally tried to hire Hyman he was sapposed to be paid at $40 a week. But after three years in that employ Goldberg gave up the job putting a healthy diet to a count of some $10000 is alligned. According to a legal information at stated that Goldberg earned Hyman an annual salary of $10000. He paid the amounts on the account placed by him in his business. He left the Hyman with a third partner whose keen smell a financial cut in the cash drawer, and he did not sell the alluring steed. This did not cut the business. He is in lands informed Hyman that the job was too much for him. Goldberg quit with $40,000 gotten to together in less than three years it is said. the raving cop. Eyewitnesses present tell practically the same story of the happenings. The cafe, conducted by Edward Johnson, is located in the place formally operated, in pre-Prohibition time, as a saloon by various owners, including Jesse Wynn, "Kid" Griffin and Barron Wikums. At present, Mr Johnson is conducting a dining cafe, with private dining room for ladies and gentlemen Well Known Harlemites Present Following the closing of the midnight show at the Lafayette Theatre on the night of Washington's Birth, the private room of the cafe was well-filled with a number of well-known Harlemites and suburbanites from nearby towns, who had been attracted to the theatre by the charms of Florence Mills and her group of entertainers in the main street of New York, joying an afterparty lunch or breakfast, as it might well be called, for it was between the hours of 4 and 5 a.m. A number of men were in the front part of the place where is located the public quick lunch counter. As the customers were enjoying their meals and discussing the show just seen two white men come in both of whom were planing under the influence of informants. They had ridden up in a red 'Sage touring car' and staggered up to the main street and commenced their walk down Wellen Dolton, the night manager but were told politely that no whiskey was to be had. They musted in their demean, and upon continued refusal, became angry demonstrative. Claimed to be Investigators. The two men declared they were in investigators and demanded that Dobbs gave his name. The demand was refused and then the one who was said to Dobbs attempted to go into the private dining room. He was told that men could only go on that one when a company be compared by him. He again asked the man dress a name displaying the man's name. John B. was an auditor and would be seen in the auditor Har has a frequent and the place tried to pass the officer saying him "That who got into the room."

Then it said, he went around to the front, and in a wild frenzy of rage. --- Bullet Fols Harris, automobile from a poor man, entered in the glass door, cutting himself severely about the face and neck he did so and rushed in, firing as he poured hot lead in all directions. Bullet Fols Harris. Harris was directly in line of fire, two or three bullets found their bullet in his left breast just below the collarbone, and he fell unconscious to the floor. Lightfoot, who had been eating, was making an effort to get out of the way when one of the slugs struck him the left upper arm, and he, too, dropped. In the meantime, pandemonium was raging. The guests in the private dining room, unable to see what was happening. In the outer room, because pano-striken and began a wild scramble to get out. In the process, the place was practically wrecked. Chairs were broken, tables overturned, dishes and glassware smashed, women's gowns and coats were torn, and men's hats were rendered of no further service to their owners. In the melee, Clancey's partner, an officer said to be known as "Whitey," evidently sobered to some extent by the tragic ending of the booze trip he was taking with his crazed companion, left for parts unknown. Police from the 38th Precinct were soon on the scene and Clancey was taken in charge. He was put under arrest, it is said, suspended from duty, and will have to face trial under charges arising out of the occurrence. David Harris was taken to the Harlem Hospital, where he was in a serious condition when seen by an Age representative about 11 o'clock on Saturday morning. Lightfoot, not so seriously wounded, went home after his arm had been dressed. According to information given after the shooting, Chancey and his companion had previously gone into the saloon at northwest corner of 132nd street and 7th avenue, a place conducted by Italians, it is said, and made a demand upon the employees there for drinks. They were refused, it is said, and when they began to get obstreporous, one of the Italians snatched up a club for a weapon and ejected the drunken men. It was after this that happened that the two men entered the cafe conducted by the colored man, Edward Johnson, and proceeded to shoot up the place, wounding Harrell and Lizzie Foot in the process. Wounded Man Under Arrest. Although seriously wounded, and despite the fact according to dozens or more witnesses of many of the men being accompanied by their wives, that the policeman out hunted in smashing the glass door, Harris is under arrest at the hospital, being charged with assault, the officers charging him with cutting Clancey. A man, said to be an employs at Happy Rhone's Cabana, Lenox avenue, near 143rd street, declared that the two officers had been in this resort before the 7th avenue episodes and that they had been drinking heavily. In fact, he stated that they had emptied about four quarts of alleged whiskey, sharing it, of course, with various others, and that they had contributed liberal tips to the waitresses and entertainers, including a goodly sum to the musicians composing the band. according to this report, the two officers, taking Happy Rhone's, must have ridden down in their red Paige car and stopped at the 132nd street and 77th avenue saloon, which occupies the premises formerly used as a pool room at the northeast corner. Probably more or less incensed and angered by the rough treatment accorded them by the Italians, the men then went to the colored establishment on the next corner and when they failed to get liquor there also. Clancy's anger overcame his judgment and he proceeded to run amuck. Information received by The Age is to the effect that Clancy was only appointed to the Police Department a short while ago, about last July, it is said. He lives at 116 King street, and is said to be well known in the neighborhood of 13th street and 8th avenue. He is alleged to be addicted to occasional drinking sprees, at which time he is said to be a dangerous customer. It is reported that after leaving the Italian's saloon at 131st street Clancy went first to Charles' Cafe at southwest corner of 133rd street and 7th avenue, directly across from the Boulevard Cafe, but there also the officer's demand for liquor was refused Statement by Eyewitness An eyewitness, present during the whole time of the incident, has made the following statement as to the happening. The two men came in and it was plainly to be seen that they were under the influence of liquor Clancey demanded Scotch whiskey, but was told that only soft drinks and food were served. Then stating that they were investigators, Clancey asked the manager's name, displaying a card and badge. The manager told the officer, he, the officer was too drunk to investigate anything, but if he insisted, to go ahead. Clancey used such vile language on being refused liquor that Dobson, the manager, told him to leave the place or he would call the Police Department. "Manager Dobson succeeded in getting Clancey and his friend out the side door, which was locked behind them. It was then that Clancey drew his gun. The other man tried hard to induce the drunk-in officer to get into the automobile which stood in front of the door, but Clancey pulled away and crashed against the left side of the 137th street corner door, which was locked. In his anger, Clancey slammed his gun against the glass, smashing it into jagged segments, but on his second plunge he happened to reel and struck the other side of the door, which was unlocked Harts Shot Down. "It was as he plunged in the door that 'Blue' (David Harris) standing near the door said to him, in a mollifying manner, 'Pal, why don't you fo out and not break up this man's place' the reply to which was the pulling of the trigger three times in rapid succession, 'Blue' falling to his hands and knees. Another shot was sent into Paul Lightfoot's left arm, and as the crazed markman turned and saw "Blue" grovelling on the floor, he fired again, but the bullet missed its human mark and lodged in the woodwork behind the wounded man. As the drunken policeman backed away to the door, he turned slightly to the left and struck his left cheek against the jagged glass that hung from the door, and cut two gashes on his cheek. At no time was he cut or stabbed by "Blue" or anybody else in the place. Everybody was trying to get away from the gun. Don't Experiment with Your Hair!!

Shortly afterwards the reserver from that station came and found the Boulevard a wreck with Harris lying on the floor with three bullet wounds in his breast just above the heart. The shot man was taken, to the Harlem Hospital." In the effort to cover up for Clanice, every story of the affair printed in the daily papers was false and distorted. In each story, the polleetman was painted as a hero who defended himself under great odds, some of the stories declaring that he had been attacked without warning by six or more Negroes who objected to his entering the cafe. This propaganda of false impressions and distorted statements is carried to an extreme in the Evening Journal, by Hal Coffman, cartoonist, who drew a panel of five drawings, reproduced in Monday's Harlem-Bronx Home Edition, entitled "It's All in the Day's Work for the Police," showing four examples of real and creditable bravery, but the fifth showing a cop surrounded by six angry Negroes, armed with razor, bottles, etc., making a savage attack on the officer. This was evidently inspired by newspaper accounts of Clancey's drunken escape in the Harlem cafe, all evidently with the intent to gloss over and cover up the fragrant indiscretion of this policeman who was himself violating the law. Significance attaches to this case in view of the fact that Policeman Clancey is a member of Enright's Special Service Division of plainclothes officers, which was so severely scored by the Commissioner and Chief Inspector Belton on Monday morning for falling to carry out orders. Harlem citizens are expressing a hope that Commissioner Enright will institute a rigid investigation of the circumstances surrounding this shooting up of a Harlem cafe by Policeman Clancey, who was, it is alleged, so completely under the influence of whiskey as to be absolutely crazed. The irony of the so-called justice is seen in the fact that the victim, Harris, on what may be his death bed, is closely guarded by uniformed officers on duty in the hospital.ward. COM. ENRIGHT SEVERELY SCORES SPECIAL SERVICE MEN DEMANDS QUICK ACTION (Continued from First Page) The special service division consists of about 250 men and the enforcing of the Volstead law is entirely in their hands. They are not detectives but are plaunclothes policemen on special duty, and their authority supersedes that of the inspectors and every other police officer so far as combatting the salt of liquor, gambling and other vicious practices are concerned. Since the formation of this division, on January 26, last, uniformed officers have been forbidden to enter any place under suspicion of selling liquor or to poach in any way on preserves of the special division Business places occupied by convicted bootleggers against whom injunctions have been issued by the courts and the doors pallocked are not always closed entirely for the period specified by the court It now appears that there is a difference in procedure, some of the injunctions simply prohibiting further traffic in illicit liquor, others placing padlocks on the doors. The hootch joint at 507 Lenox avenue recently closed under an injunction, evidently comes under the first classification, as workmen were seen in there a day or two ago, busily engaged in arranging the place for a cigar and to bacco business, to all appearances. That is, the window is being decorated with a sign that indicates the place will be occupied by a cigar store. Of course there are other cigar stores to outward appearance that are really camouflaged 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 Loui, Hyman, Moe, Conne, Chief, Goldgraben, and the other big fellows alone.

In the meantime, some of the hoochi sellers who have been compelled by court processes to close up certain of their joints have broken out in other spots. For instance, "Chief" Ponderamis, who conducted the malt parlor on Lenox avenue, between 132nd and 133rd streets, which was closed and padlocked by officers, has simply opened up another place—the "Horseshoe Restaurant"—at 599 Lenox avenue, where, according to a business card, "Jack and Ferdie" are to be found in charge. Candy as Camouflage Notwithstanding the seeming increased activity on part of both local and Federal officers, the bootleggers continue to operate with little slackening of effort. The old Scalberg café at 131st street and Seventh avenue, closed down after a brief, but hectic existence, presents a peculiar aspect. The front of the place has been turned into a candy, cigar and tobacco shop, but the space given to this business is constricted to just a few feet inside the front door. A partition intervenes, in which is placed a door, and beyond this is the bar where liquid refreshments of the ol' dhard kind are alleged to be dispensed with contious liberality. The place is alleged to be under new management, and the name of "Harry Pyles" is posted conspicuously as the new operator. In the case of "Chief" Pomerantis, and the closing of his maji parlor at 450 Lenor venue, it is alleged by passerby familia with conditions that one of Chief's employees is statified all day long near the front door of the padlocked establishment, and when prospective customers come seeking the place of eratythile refreshment, they are quietly informed of the situation and given directions as to where their wants can be supplied. It is intimated that a convenient base has been established in some of the nearby second on third floor apartments, gold that an amph supply is kept there for catering to the thirst.

The cigar store at 488 Leopox avenue is another camouflaged establishment that is alleged to be using some underground methods (or may be its overhead) for the supplying of its trade. One of the employees, a fairly well known colored man, has had personal cards, printed, by means of which he informs his "definitive" that he is "Thinking of you all the time"—see me if you care! giving the telephone number (Harlem 6430) and offering an opportunity to visit a "Cigar Store" for "Cigars and Cigarettes." United States Assistant District Attorney John Holley Clark, Jr., in the meantime, is announcing a new crusade against bootlegging hoothounds. A number of cases in which the sale of intoxicants has been enjoined, are to be given a new direction. In each case where it is discovered, that liquor has been sold in a place following an injunction, court proceedings will be started immediately for the purpose of padlocking the places, and it is probable also that contempt proceedings will be instituted. Major Clark states that more than four hundred violators in the various parts of the city are to be proceeded against, and action has already been set in motion against a restaurant downtown. This new move, separate from the padlocking proceedings which have resulted in closing ten or more Harlem hootch joints, will be against owners whose places have been enjoined during the past three years. easy to Increase Your As A PORO Agent PORO COLLEGE, one of the World Scientific Hair and Beauty Culture, of unparalleled success, offers prac- tices through which you may have a nice, pau- t in your home without a large outlay.

The suit involves a sum said to be in excess of $25,000; and may be taken before the Railroad Labor Board. The suit is being handled for the Union by Rexen B. Lemus, president, who recently adjusted a dispute with the New York New-Haven and Hartford Road. This union now has 3,500 members and is one of the strongest labor organizations among Negroes in the country. It was organized in 1918 when the railroads were under Federal control Through the organization its members received an increase of pay and better working conditions, and despite the efforts of the railroads to get back to pre-war conditions, they have been able to maintain the advantages gained Before that time a cook could be fired without notice, now he must be given a hearing Among other things accomplished by the organization has been the securing of $40,000 upfrontive payments. It has also compiled a fraternal feeling among its members and raised the standard of their work. Its officers are R B Lemus, president, Harvey M Burk, chairman of the board of managers, and Jas A. Ward chairman of the board of trustees. Among New Yorkers who are active in the organization are George W Lytle, H E. A. Clark, James E. Hunter, Hugh Heard, president of the Pennsylvania Local No. 1, and Robert Whiting, president of the New York Central Local No. 3. The organization does not simply seek to get all it can for its members, but also to cooperate with the railroads in bettering the service Tuskegee Students Hold Annual Negro Night Fuskeegee, Institute, Ala — A program strictly of and by Negroes was witnessed Wednesday evening, February 13, in the Institute chapel at the annual observation by the Senior Class of the Institute of "Negro Night," which is a feature of the school calendar strongly advocated by Principal R.

It was charged that Dent had snatched Redding's revolver from its holster and was pressing it against the officer's stomach with the intention of killing him when the brother officers came to the rescue and saved the colored detective. The Age secured evidence showing this to be untrue, and that it was impossible for a prisoner to snatch an officer's gun from his holster, as it was held in place by a patent safety catch which had to be released in a certain manner before the gun could be withdrawn.

SECRETARY Defined by Judge T. C. T. Crain of Court of General Sessions, New York City. It was a matter of public concern that the executive secretary of an institution like the Y M C A. should be a man of character and a religious man in the true sense of the word, and likewise that he should be a man of good repute. Ordinarily good character produced good repute. Good repute or good reputation was the result ordinarily of good character. An evil reputation as a rule was the result of a bad character. It sometimes happened that those who were unloyal nevertheless had good reputations and it sometimes also happened that those who were worthy nevertheless unfortunately had bad bad reputations. It was important for the public for the success of the work of the Y M C A. in Harlem in the case of the executive secretary that the two things should coincide, that is, that there should be the possession of good character by the executive secretary, but that he should also have the reputation that such a good character deserves. Similarly, a good reputation It therefore became a matter of public concern that the character of the one occupying that position should be known and generally approved by the community in which the institution existed. One holding such a position was not in the same situation as a man in ordinary line of business. There was a wider latitude with respect to comments which might be made upon the conduct and the character of such a one, and is the case where one is pursuing a strict and upright calling. A GROWING $ _{0} $ CANDIDACY. Indications are growing of popular interest in the availability of Colonel William Hayward as a candidate for Governor of New York on the Republican ticket this Fall. As United States District Attorney Colonel Hayward has proved himself an efficient and compassionate enforcement officer, playing the role of public prosecutor without becoming a persecutor. With the inadequate machinery provided under the Federal statutes, he has sought to put teeth in the laws and to make their infraction a matter for just punishment. Regardless of individual opinions as to the wisdom of prohibition legislation, he has put every effort in force to break up bootlegging and to put the lawbreakers out of business, especially those who operated on a large scale. Bucketeers and bankrupts who have defrauded the public of millions have been made to feel the menace of the law. He has won the confidence of the people by his downright methods in behalf of law and order. When ordinary methods of stopping the sale of liquor have failed, he has resorted to the course of putting padlocks on the places and keeping them closed. Colonel Hayward is no novice in public service. Before coming to New York he had on his spurs at the law in Nebraska. He began his career here as assistant district attorney of New York county. His prominence in New York affairs began with his investigation of the Public Service Commission, of which he later became chairman. He left this position to assume the command of the "Fighting Fifteenth" whose record in the World War became a matter of history. His aggressive character was well fitted to contend with the difficulties that beset this argument first to get into the war and then to get to the front. The Republican party will need an outstanding candidate in the next campaign for Governor. With the record that Colonel Hayward has made in every position that he has been called to fill, there is no reason why should not fill the bill. Public opinion readily marks him as a live candidate and the opinion of many a winner.

It was expected that the Senators from Louisiana would exert every effort to seize weakknock Republicans into voting against the confirmation of the ground that the candidate was not normally objectionable to them, invoking the cient plea of senatorial courtesy. It is reasoned but little surprise that Senator William H. Harrah of Alabama and Senator The rejection of the nomination of Walter L. Cohen to be comptroller of customs at the port of New Orleans gave rise to several surprises in the vote taken in the United States Senate last week. It was expected that the Senators from Louisiana would exert every effort to secure weakneed Republicans into voting against the confirmation on the ground that the candidate was personally objectionable to them, invoking the ancient plea of senatorial courtesy. It was cioned but little surprise that Senator William L. Borah of Alabama and Senator Small, also from the tar West voted with the Democrats. of New York and Senator Edwards of New Jersey aligned themselves solidly, with their Louisiana colleagues in upholding the color line as a barrier to office under this government. The failure of Senator Bruce of Maryland to break away from the bonds of Southern prejudice in this case, as his former utterances promised, was also disappointing to those who expected better things from him, as was the like failure of Senator Barrett of Delaware. The greatest surprise and disappointment came in the conduct of Dr. Copeland, the new Democratic Senator from New York, whose vaunted liberality and freedom from racial bias, failed at the first test. The Negro voters of New York who have put their faith in Dr. Copeland's professions of liberality and fairplay, have a right to feel that they have been deceived. The candidate whom they supported at the polls has destroyed the confidence they felt in his good intentions by arraying himself squarely against the race on the principle of equal opportunity. The Republican majority evidently failed to make the question of Mr. Cohen's confirmation a party issue, as they could have done by holding a party caucus and binding each member by the decision of that caucus. The failure to take this step raises the question as to how strong was the determination of the majority to stand by the President in his nomination. Senator Borah's defection can only be explained on the ground of general cussedness, and his resentment at feeling that he no longer figures a presidential possibility. Why Senator Small should have followed his course is a mystery. The rejection of Mr. Cohen at the behest of the Louisiana Senators on the sole ground of color, is a technical blunder that will react upon the individual members of both parties in the Senate. The Republicans being the majority party must bear the greater share of the responsibility for this blunder, but it also riddles the pretensions of those Northern Democrats who have been cultivating the Negro vote by illusory protestations of liberality and fairplay. Dr. Copeland may have made a good mayor of that Western town that he left for New York, and he made an excellent record as Commissioner of Health for this city, but the dimensions of the senatorial toga were evidently too great for him. PLAYING POLITICS WRONG. A press report of the meeting of the so-called Lincoln League, held at Chicago styled it "the one national political organization of colored Americans," and claimed that it set a precedent by endorsing President Coolidge for nomination and election. As the personnel of this convention comprised a group of Federal office holders and office seekers, the result of its deliberations was not unexpected. The only cause for surprise was that Perry W. Howard, who was reported as vigorously supporting the resolution, did not seek to amend it by adding an endorsement of the Ku Klux Klan, in which he found so many friends of the race. Another Chicago correspondent in reporting the sessions, described Roscoe Simmons, the founder and president of the league, as "the power."

Another Chicago correspondent in reporting the sessions, described Roscoe Simmons, the founder and president of the league, as "the power." Elouquent, witty comical (the word is right, Simmons' best friends hesitating to decide as to whether he be great leader or great clown), he kept his hosts together. He was defiant and confident. Time and time again he repeated to his legionnaires "We have a convention The Lincoln league never dies. Arkansas are you there? Massachusetts Missouri and Homer Phillips Georgia and Ben Davis" Ohio and Contrell". Thus he marshalled his cunning battalions. Are rays in front were the great and near great of a vast audience. Gracing the broad pulpit of famous Mother Bethel were other great and near great, black and white Americans. As the proud orders of Simmons the orator, tactician general were issued John T. Adams, chairman of the Republican national committee, Medill McCormick, United States Senator from Illinois, his wife, daughter of the famous Mark Hanna, and the manager of the Gouldie forces in Illinois listened and marked the response to the general's command Simmons found the armpits of his vest and the audience roared and yelled with pride great pride. This performance by the immutable Simmons. This performance by the Republican politicians must have been quite a treat to the White Republicans who occupied seats in the front rows. It recalls the accounts of the merriment excited by his clowning at the formation of the league a few years ago. The mystery is how any reputable politicians of the race can lend their support to such a comedy, after once experiencing the true inwardness of its leadership. As an example of how to play politics the wrong way it is without an equal. As a source of "innumerable merriment," the Lincoln League may refresh the weary politicians, but it cannot inspire much respect for our political leadership. mons must have been quite a treat to the white Republicans who occupied seats in the front rows.

WHEN CAPITAL SOUEALS The Republican party in Congress lacks backbone. It said the New York Herald metropolitan daily owned and controlled a bank. Monsie, a leading light of lat- tary Republicanism and the incarnation of cool and calculating capitalism. The Age had occasion during the past ten or senty years to laugent this same lack of The Republican party in Congress lacks a blackbone. S and the New York Herald a metropolitan daily owned and controlled by bank A Monroe, a leading light of latter day Republicanism and the incarnation cool and calculating capitalism. The Age has had occasion during the past ten or twenty years to lament this same lack of blackbone of the Republican party in Con- which the party was founded. But why should Mr. Munsey's newspaper voice the same conclusion, as indicated in the leading editorial of the issue of February 217. The reason for this outburst of hope in dignification from the capitalist's standpoint is that Mr. Munsey's paper sees, that the Republican party is losing its zeal for the protection of the rights of capital, as it has already renounced its role as the champion of human rights. The Herald justified its assertion that the Republican party in Congress lacks a backbone by adding: If it had one it would have held its majority in support of an honest tax reduction bill. Lacking one, it could enough votes to the Democratic republican poll that it would be the majority which has just approved the purely political Garner bill. The demagogues of Mr. McAdoo's party are playing ball with the deserters of the Republican party. What the capitalists like Mr. Munsey consider an honest tax reduction bill is the measure proposed by Secretary Mellon of the Treasury Department, which in addition to reducing the rates on smaller incomes also cut in half the surtax levied on the millionaires. As most of this latter class have evaded the "payment of high surtaxes by investing-in tax exempt securities, the high rates imposed have ceased to be of any practical benefit in swelling the government revenues. As a purely tax measure the reductions proposed by Secretary Melloh promise to be more productive for the government and would encourage capital to return to active business channels, instead of retiring to the safety of tax exempt securities.

As a purely tax measure the reductions proposed by Secretary Mellon promise to be more productive for the government and would encourage capital to return to active business channels, instead of retiring to the safety of tax exempt securities. But as has been truly said, the Republican party in Congress lacks the backbone to adopt the Mellon bill as it was written. The party has abandoned, temporarily at least, the cause of capital just as it abandoned the cause of equal-rights and free suffrage for the Negroes of the South after the period of reconstruction. The decadence of the Republican party must have reached a very low degree when such diverse classes as the disfranchised freeman and the protesting lutocrat agree in the diagnosis that it lacks backbone. It is the capitalistie-class, of which Mr. Munsey is an able and outspoken representative, that aided and abetted the Republican party in its abandonment of its program of human rights. That this repudiation of a great principle should return to plague them when the rights of capital are at stake is but just retribution. Their situation must be critical, however, when the creation of a third party would be hailed by such a conservative organ as the Herald, "as a real contribution to our politics." It suggested that Mr. McAdoo "give these various radical elements a political banner, a political organisation of their own. They are now scattered throughout the two dominant parties. They belong in neither." We doubt if Mr. McAdoo is equal to the task assigned him, but there are other Richmonds in the field. There is both a warning and a lesson in this suggestion for the leaders of the two old parties. In the meantime, the Republicans should seek a serum to promote the development of a backbone. When capital squeals on the same note as the proletarian, something must be wrong.

An esteemed correspondent of The Age, whose suggestions we have generally found value, has sent us the following communication on the subject of "hootch" An esteemed correspondent of The Age, whose suggestions we have generally found of value, has sent us the following communication on the subject of "hootch" You are saying much a bit "hootch" You do not go at it right. You ought to hammer at it, from a scientific point of view. For example Alcohol dehydrates the blood is a contributing factor in the race katabolism, breaking down, tearing down) It gives the arteries, kudzu leaves, impac-tates the race from being supermen, with the consequent economic losses. No man with a hootch-drinker's liver can be the progenitor of healthy children. He can only help to bring into the world future inmates of the almshouse and insane asylums. The above is all absolutely true, but our correspondent makes the initial error of regarding "hootht" as if it was the honest "red skaker" of pre Volstead days. Hootht is rank poison compounded of denatured alcohol induced in strength by dilution and colored oil flavored to taste. This alcohol may be either completely or specially denatured, and released free of tax by a confiding government on the plea that it will be used for fruit or varnish hair tonic or tooth paste, it never for beverage purposes.

Hootch is rank poison compounded of denatured alcohol reduced in strength by dilution and colored and flavored to taste. This alcohol may be other completely or specially denatured, and is released free of tax by a confiding government on the plea that it will be used for paint or varnish hair tonic or tooth paste, but never for beverage purposes. Sometimes an effort is made to extract the poisons used in the denaturing process, but rarely with success. So the confirmed drinker of hootch runs his chance of absorbing anything from ammonla to wood alcohol into his system, with every round. No science is needed to prove the poisonous qualities of hoofth especially the brands dispensed in Harlem delicatessen stores. Steady patrons run the risk of going blind or dropping dead on the street most any time. It may be that the solution of the problem will be in the killing off of the steady drinkers by the poisons that they imbibe. But this is a slow and rather uncertain process as new recruits fill the vacancies in the ranks. Editor Harry C. Smith of the Cleveland Guette appears to be doubtful of the ability of President Coolidge to carry Ohio next fall, if nominated for the Presidency. In a recent issue he said: "We want to see President Coolidge carry this State, this fall; something he will not do if his Ohio leaders persist in their refusal to do their clear-duty and give Ohio Afro-Americans the delegate-large, they demand! This time, they do not intend to be shunted aside without making those responsible for it in the loss of thousands of votes on election day in November, 1924. They do not have to vote, if they do not want to, and all know it. And there are other things that can and will be done by those who feel free to act as they may see fit. It is "up to" Mr. Carmi Thompson of this city, President Coolidge's personal representative, and Mr. Hoke Donithen of Marion, Ohio Coolidge leader. This is reading the riot act with the full intention to call out the reserves, if necessary. Discussing the type of leader needed now, the Washington Tribune recently said: With an unprecedented migration of Negroes from the South, many grave problems are arising. With a million unorganized blacks in the race, a grave problem presents itself with no one endeavoring to organize the farmers and encourage them to cooperation in pooling and pooling of their crops as well as the purchasing of their supplies. Then there is the matter of 50,000 business enterprises among our group and no specific organization doing anything tangible for their improvement in enlarging their establishments, nor fostering cooperation in buying, nor preparing to manufacture the products used. More Negroes will have the opportunity to vote for a president in the North, this fall, than ever voted before. Their votes will be a factor in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kentucky. The stimulus of a leader of the type of Frederick Douglass could land four or five Negroes in the 69th Congress. Migration, with the resulting congestion which produces an appalling housing problem for the race in the North, could be producing an additional problem as well. Who can take the leadership in this increasing, perplexing problem? The need for sane but progressive leadership was never greater. Out of the needs of the situation it is safe to conclude that such a leadership will yet be evolved. An example of the negative influence exerted upon State legislation in the South by the presence of the Negro population was set forth by the Norfolk Journal and Guide as follows: At present the state treasury is face to face with a deficit of $1,800,000. The General Assembly in session at Richmond is endeavoring to upcover new sources of revenue and to squeeze out of old resources the revenue they should have yielded and have not on account of evasion, delinquency of payments and laxity in collections to a statement made by a high state official last summer, there is a vast sum owed to the state in unpaid poll taxes. Why no serious effort is ever made to collect this tax is open for explanation. There is before the lawmakers of the state for consideration at this session the Downing bill, designed to make the payment of poll taxes a prerequisite for obtaining license of any sort in Virginia. It is reported that the bill is meeting with strong opposition from several sections. The reasons for this opposition is obvious. The payment of the poll tax is a prerequisite of voting, and any measure designed to make the payment of this tax arbitrary, in its working will automatically aid in qualifying electors. And of course Negroes would be included, and all of them, the legislators believe to be inherently Republicans. Sooner than increase the number of qualified voters, the Virginia legislators would forego this opportunity to make good the deficit in the State treasury. Writing on "Home Life in Old Kentucky in the Detroit Independent Mrs Phi H Brown or Hopkinsville Kv. said that the idea of permanency in home life was shown by home ownership. She continued For instance, in the place of my own humble residence, nearly forty per cent of all Negro homes are owned by those who reside within their walls. This percentage for communities having a Negro population of 2,500 or more is exceeded only by Cordelle Ga. Corsecuna Texas Demonstration, Texas Des Munes Iowa Guaymallea Fla. Gourth Oka and Marianna Ark. In exact contrast to this feature of home ownership large urban centers, such as Boston Mass, Baltimore Md. Cincinnati, Ohio Detroit Muh. New York, N. Philadelphia La. and St Louis M. show are small percentages. The flaming fireplaces of my little home town with its Negro population of approximately 5000, are augmented by many modern conveniences which a Bostonian or a New Yorker would need dream exist in so humble a section of our country. Electricity is freely untied for many purposes, modern water appliances are in full use and the electric iron is far from being a curiosity in Old Kentucks. While father is reclining in an easy chair with the finest of home-grown Kentucky bugley in his pipe mother is roasting the finest of Kentucky cured meats in a modern gas oven. And by the way her ability in the culinary art, while not acquired at a san's cooking school that imparts as a flavor to the graduates of America's finest institutions in home art craft. This tribute to her home town is as touching as it is deserved. It shows another side to the pictures painted by certain white novels. Commenting on the disposition of Southern Congressmen to curry faster with their more ignorant constituents by raising points of order against the ap- propriation of government funds for the support of Howard University at Washington, the Baltimore Herald and Commonwealth said. Every Negro citizen pays his full share of taxes, for the support of the Federal Government and upon that ground is entitled to as full benefits as any other citizen of the country. Liberal provision is made by the Government for the education of its citizens as West Point and Annapolis, from which schools Negroes are physically, parried. They do not receive equal and just fees of the educational funds given by the Federal Government to State institutions, and it is a fair and lowest step towards adjustment for the Government to look upon Howard University as a local institution and give it generous support. That is a very moderate though pointed statement of a very important phase of the question of governmental aid to education. The opposition raised to the appropriation for Howard is a transparent trick of the demagog to win support in the "white" primaries at home. CREED Of American Negro Youth. (Written by WILLIAM PICKENS at request of the American Student Federation—a "Youth Movement.") 1 I believe in God, as the embodiment and the expression of all the goodness of the universe, material and immaterial. 2 I believe in Youth, as the recurrent, perennial, eternal spirit of progress. 3 I believe in Humanity, the humanity that transcends color, feature, geography or social and political organization. 4 I believe in the Negro Race, as in another race,—only as an element, and perhaps an episode, of this humanity 5 I believe, therefore, in UNSEGREGATED JUSTICE as the only justice, and in UNQUALIFIED EQUALITY as the only equality. 6 I believe in Individual Liberty, which is possible only in a society of essential individual equality. possible only in society of liberty. 8 I believe in Eternal Progress, which is possible only in a society of tolerant. 9 I believe in the Divine Destiny of Man, which is thinkable only as the progressive purpose of progress. 10 I believe, therefore, in the PRESENT. as the All-Mother of the Illimitable Future, in Happiness, limited only by other happinesses and by the legitimate claims of future happiness. As I See It. The Brooklyn Central, the weekly magazine of the Central Branch of the Brooklyn Y M C A. (white), recently published the following editorial discussion of the Negro question in America. 48. CHARLES W. (By CHARLES W DIETRICH) Some months ago a Negro lawyer in addressing a jury said: "You can't have an idea what it means to be a Negro in these days—the ignominy of it. If every Negro could put every dime, every penny that he has earned into the sea, and if he might get in exchange the knowledge that he was some man, he would mean something in the world, and that would have the respect of the world, would do it gladly. The black man does not hope that his children may be established in a settled business, who does not pray that his curtain of hell and hate may some day be lifted from his children. I hope it for my children; so does every black man for his." Can anything be more dramatic or pathetic than this? Is it not a shame and disgrace that in Christian America, "the land of the free and the home of the brave," where every man is supposed to have an equal chance, there should be a lot of people who for reasons for which they are in no way responsible, should be outraged, all kinds of humiliating experiences, and dened the privilege of taking their place in society and in business on an equal footing with their fellows: We seem to think that having freed the Negro from slavery at great sacrifice, and endowed him with citizenship, that he has no further claim upon us, but it is well to remember that the issue of the Civil War was not the freedom of the slave, but whether or not a group of states should have the right to secede from the Union and the Emancipation Proclamation was a mere incident in this great struggle. Furthermore, we deserve no special credit for freeing the slave for him should never have been put in bondage to the white man, and the fact that he was places us under obligation to do everything in our power to atone for the great injustice that was done him. As we analyze the situation what do we find we be the basis of our attitude toward the Negro? It is not alone his Ease of living as lily as is the age of states who visit our country, are well in the highest circles of society. It shows every consideration. It is not to use a lower mentality for there is an evident evidence to prove that the Negro equal educational advantages in the race of the white man. It is not due to criminal tendencies and their general behavior for the percentage of Negro in general, it is not higher than that of the white race and their department, it is not beyond criticism of it that they make unreasonable surges of their manifest as high degree of intelligence in the exeercises of the transect as any other race than them in the reason for this shameful act in their attitude. Nothing more more than that, and that is no reason at all. The mere fact that one has Negro blood, even though he have a white skin, is educated cultured and refined enough to hum himself, is not isolation and deprivation in the right to a place of leadership, is not fearless unless it be within the limits of his own race. By what should we claim superiority over any other child? But it purely an accident and we all spring from the same cause. As children of a common Father we glory in the fact that God is no longer of persons and yet we his children assume no regard themselves to others and subject them to the worst sort of ignorance and humiliation. I am recalled of the words of Jesus. Who so shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better. for film that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the midst of the sea For many years, prior to the Civil War, there were groups of people in the North known as Abolitionists, who engaged in an active propaganda to crystallize sentiment favorable to, the release of slaves from the bodegade of servitude, and their efforts were ultimately crowned with success. Is there not a great need today for an organized effort on the part of those who believe in fair play the brotherhood of man and an equal chance for all, to liberate our fellow or rest the Negro, from the social, intellectual and commercial shackles that stood in the way of his taking his rightful place among his fellows? STATION H-E-A-L-T-H By Dr. B. S. HERBEN Qf the New York Tuberculous Association Are You Afraid of Doctors? Back in the old days, my grandfather rode horseback to 'get' to his patients, kept his medicines and instruments in saddle-bags and wore a woolen shawl over his great coat. He traveled miles in this manner, for his was a country practice and as he was the only doctor within a long radius, he followed the bad roads in all kinds of weather night and day. The son of one of his friends, not long ago, told me this story about him. The old doctor had a desperate and unusual case which required such extraordinary skill and care as could be obtained only in a hospital miles away. A railroad went through the little settlement but trains stopped down. An express train was due to go through in the late afternoon, and the doctor had his patient lying ready on a stretcher far from the railroad. In spite of protest, the doctor took his place on the track in front of the incoming train, saying, "Jim! I will get to the palef if I have to go to the cemetery to get him there!" Jim got to the hospital and lived to love the man whose devotion saved him. "But," you say, "doctors are different nowadays." No. The pressure of work and the large numbers of patients in these modern days of city life keep you from knowing them well and understanding them. They are the same self-less tiring, overworked people who put your comfort, your release from pain and ease, your life ahead of their own interests, their rest, their recreation, their hours of family life—everything. They studied medicine because they had instinctive pity for the suffering of human beings and a high purpose of service. Regardless of the risk to themselves, they will care for the most dangerous or loathsome diseases to carry out that purpose. Don't be afraid of doctors. Today they are ready to fight danger forms like as they were in the old times when they rode horseback and knew their patients by the name of "Jim" and "Mary Ann."

Africa (From the New York Times) Americans are accustomed to think that no country except our own can cede to the courts the right to aside an act of the Legislature in at least some of the D.C. government authority extent to that point. Regently the Supreme Court of the Tranvaal declared a valid a clause of the act regulating work in mines and with machines. The offending provision read that "the operation of, or, attendance in machinery shall be in charge of a competent shifman, and in the Transvaal and Otange Free State provinces such shifman shall be a white man." The case came up appeal from the decision of a hannesburg Magistrate on a charge that a certain mine manager had employed a native to run an electric motive. The Supreme Court held that the provision of law was ultra sure that is to say, was not in accord with the enabling act setting up the South African Union, which did not allow discrimination between white men a black Much weight was given by the fending the regulation to an act Transvaal Republic in 1885 limited the work of natives they shall be able to understand 'appreciate such duties and respects as they may reasonably deemed capable of undertaking' The Judges pointed out that a restrictive law seems to look to the gradual advancement of lives, whereas the new regulation inhibited them from doing work they were clearly able to perform judgment is expected to be capable effect in South Africa trially socially and politically drawing of the color line has a part of the platform of the Naxis and of the Labor Party Africa. If natives are here employed on any large or higher positions from which so far been excluded that the result might be a fall of the present government the Supreme Court could not fear of any such consequence felt its decision. This lies on considerations of law in South Africa Constitution worthy of the best tradition branch. --- "A RESOLUTION FOR PUBLIC OPINION" Whereas we have made considerable progress along the lines of education, religion and social development, and owing to the ever increasing number of young students possessing a higher degree of education than was formerly the case, and Whereas there is not sufficient outlet for these high school and college graduates of ours, and in order to make and create opportunities for them in the higher pursuits of life, and to further develop a sound economic and commercial power, be it Resolved, that all of our fraternal orders and societies, clubs, civic organizations, etc., be herewith made to comply with the following, to wit: That one-third of all their surplus funds now on deposit in banks and trust companies be withdrawn and pooled into one large fund. Each of the associations, organizations, clubs, etc., so contributing shall be given a bond bearing 6 per cent. for the specific amount thus pooled. That this pooled fund be placed into the hands of a selected and voted committee representing twelve of the leading colored men of the country. That this pooled fund be used in developing commercial and industrial enterprises, be it factories or otherwise. That the said committee of twelve, which has been selected by a popular vote of the community or communities, be empowered to use their discretion in launching such commercial and industrial enterprises, but under all circumstances they be held responsible for the outcome. That any fraternal society, lodges, clubs or civic organizations, etc., who refuse to abide by terms of this resolution when same should have been passed by the public, then in that event, said fraternal society, lodge, clubs, or civic organizations, etc., be punished by whatever method that may be deemed best by our public. The above resolution which should meet with public approval, would be the means of opening new avenues to our more progressive and intelligent young men and women who are now subject to stagnation by virtue of a closed door against their advanced education. The Colored American Retail Company, Inc., fully endorses the above resolution and should like the opinion of others thereto. COLORED AMERICAN RETAIL COMPANY, Inc. WILLIAM H.

The Young People's meeting will re- organize at the close of the Sunday morning meeting next Sunday: First Immancelle Church, Paspe Bolden presided Sunday morning from the text, "Out of Egypt have I called my Soul." St. Matthew 2:115. ing from the text, "Out of Egypt have I called my Son." St. Matthew, 2:155. He said: Israel might be termed a servant nation; Jesus Christ, the servant Son. What is humanity to-day? Much thought should be given to the investigation going on in Egypt. Who knows, but that man's physical resurrection of these Egyptian mummies and trophies tends toward a resurrection and coming into this nation of the spiritual resurrection of Christ? This nation has no great spiritual leaders, for today there are only two great illuminators, and coming into this nation will be termed such. There is a well-known saying that "Man shall glorify God and praise Him" forever. Very little attention is paid to day to character, everybody seems only to be thinking about his or her reputation. That should not be so. More thoughtful, sincere study should be given to building, a worthy and noble character. God intends the nations to serve Him and each other. Everything God created, He did so for service. Nature serves God and the people. The winds serve. God, the sea also; they also serve the God in man. One writer has said, "The hand that made us is divine." I would like to go further and say, "The Hand that rules this nation is divine." The new leadership of to-day will come from the symbolical Egypt, from a dark people, from a rejected and despised people. For God is calling His sons to a larger Brotherhood, a larger life, and a larger service. The American colored people have much to be thankful for. They built not one of the houses they are living in; they do not have to build one subway, one tunnel, yet they enjoy all these things. These things are here to serve humanity, and they are a part of that whole. To-day out of the symbical Egypt God is calling His Sons. His Sons are they that do the will of God. Jesus is coming again, and when He does come He will take up His abode with the meek and lowly, rather tain with the rich and pompous. He will seek those who do always the will of His Father. Therefore let us say that God, sending the Holy Spirit in man, so fixes him that his one desire is to serve humanity. And by serving humanity, he serves God. The Sunday-school was opened at the usual hour by Supt. Hogans, and the lesson was reviewed by him. At 4:30 the Literary Society convened. Ms. Naofli Quick had charge of the program, as follows.

This was especially noticeable on Sunday when the main auditorium was filled to its seating capacity.

Almost brutal on his denunciations it had a logical arrangement accentuations a vigorous style and positive statements to avoid ambiguity and inspire clear thinking.

It is hard to get rid of. None have more pride than those who dream that they have none. You may labor against vainglory till you conceive that you are humble, and the fond concept of your humility will prove to be pride in full bloom. The text is intended to bear upon us in our church life. Peter, reminds us, "All of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility." In the afternoon Dr. John W.

Grant, the high-powered players, will be a high spacer of the game with six field goals and three foults. At the beginning of the first half the visitors took the lead and drew away from their opponents until they were ten points ahead, but a few minutes before the half ended the Renaissance boys staged a rally and came within one point of lying the score, which stood 18-17 at the end of the period. In the second half the action was similar, with the visitors again drawing away until they were again ten or twelve points in favor. They maintained this lead for several Stunden Slovenia Mont and Waddell shot goals in succession and several fouls cut the lead to three points.

Kid Norfolk, colored light heavy-weight champion, was awarded the judges' decision over Lee Anderson of Boston in the feature 12-round bout at the Commonwealth Casino Saturday night, February 23. Norfolk had a hard fight all the way and many of the fans thought that Anderson should have been given a draw. The Boston fighter had all the worst of the fight in the early rounds, with Kid Norfolk administering a severe beating about the body. In the fourth and sixth rounds Norfolk had Anderson in a bad way, but from the ninth round on he made a determined vally and won the remaining rounds. He appeared much the stronger at the end of the fight and it was his whirlwind finish which caused the fans to jeer the decision. The weights were, Norfolk 175 pounds and Anderson 174. Johnny Gardner of Philadelphia made his first appearance in New York in the semi-final bout, also scheduled for twelve rounds. His opponent was Johnny Ryan of the Navy, who started out well and took the first round.

Womersley Paris, where being shown at the Lincoln Theatre While ro massive structures on colossal sets were erected for the production, the great stars first serious production, the settings were designed with infinite care and carried out with a fidelity to detail to be in keeping with the story.

The furnishings and draperies are the finest of French importations, showing a no small fortune in interior decoration. The home of Pierre de la Richemont in Paris, reveals the most dignified interior settings ever exhibited, all carried out in good taste, presenting to a degree the character of this man of wealth and pleasure.

Home Orange Score Was 19-2 in Favor of Lincoln at End of First Half, But Seasiders Stage Tremendous Reversal of Form and Play to Tla in Regular Period, Win in Extra. Hampton, Va.—After exhibiting a poor excuse for basketball in the first half and allowing the Lincoln "Lions" to gain a 17-point lead, Hampton underwent a complete change in the second half and came out victorious over Lincoln for the second time this season by a one point margin. The second half began with the score at 19-2. With an almost miraculous comeback, Hampton staged a rally led by "Shorty" Lambright, forged ahead enough to tie the score before the final whistle, and caused an extra period of five minutes to be played. In this period some of the most desperate fighting ever seen on the Hampton Institute gymnasium court came into pla THIRD TRACK-FIELD MEET ON HAMPTON FIELD, SAT., MAY 17 Universities, Colleges and During the first five minutes no score was made. Then "Chet" Jones sang a free throw. Then it was that Lincoln began scoring almost at will. It was plainly visible that something was radically wrong with the "Seasiders". Pollitt, Woods, and Day scored Lincoln's shots in this half and Gunn sank a free throw. During the intermission, Coach Williams undoubtedly unstilled some irresistible fighting into his proteges, for before the second half was up Hampton had tied the score, causing an extra period to be played. Hargrove started the rally with a field goal Pollitt scored for Lincoln, Woods duplicated the feat, and the score became 20-4. Hargrove sank another and Gunn dropped one in 23-8. Lincoln rallied and Trugg sank one for Lincoln. Not to be outdone, Hargrove sagged another field goal. This was followed by two free throws by Gunn. Lambright was rushed in and Hampton scooters were "running wild" in an effort to cheer the "Seasiders" on to victory. Lambright scored three consecutive field goals with only one and a half minutes to play, running the score 25-23. Lincoln sank another shot and things were looking pretty hopeless when Gunn came through with two spectacular shots to tie the score. An extra period of five minutes was played and Lincoln lost by one point. HAMPTON ANNOUNCES FOOTBALL SCHEDULE WITH I.-C. A.A. TEAMS HAMPTON ANNOUNCES FOOTBALL SCHEDULE WITH I.-C. A.A.

TOURGEE DEBOSE IN RECITAL OF MUSIC FOR THE PIANOFORTE The music room of the Martin-Smith Music School, 139 West 136th street, was entirely too small to hold the folks who thronged there Sunday afternoon, February 24, at 4:30 o'clock, to hear Tourgee De Bose, who is rapidly coming to be looked upon as one of the race's leading pianists, play a program of interesting music composed for the pianoforte by Bach, Beethoven and Liszt, with a group by Debusy not quite so interesting. The clock on the walls of the music room was either some ten minutes fast or else the subway clocks were slow. Whatever might be the fact, the discrepancy caused me to miss the first number, Bach's Chromatic Fantasie and sugar Man. De Bose's interpretation of the seventh musical utterances of the great Bach will have to wait upon other opportunity. But I did hear the pianist play the Beethoven Sonata, Op. 27, No. 2, (quasi una fantasia), and it was a fine performance. He exhibited warmth and brilliance, with a tenderness of touch that betokened sympathetic understanding. A Chopin group, made up of four Etudes, the Waltz in G flat and the Fantasie, composed the second number; and three Debussy numbers, an Etude, "The Girl With the Flaxon Air," and "Minstrels," followed by three Liszt number-arrangement of Schubert's Erk King and Paganini's I. Campanella, between which was sandwiched the second number. But the audience was not satisfied and the pianist graciously added two numbers to the trey program. Mr De Bose exhibited an unusual technical equipment, with a sureness and confidence that gave this work all the elements of an authoritative utterance Clear-cut, crisp when necessary, he showed also a legato that was of surposing and haunting loveiness. But perhaps the outstanding quality of Mr. De Bose's playing is the combination of traits exhibited (calm contemplation is closely allied with temperate passion, and throughout all his playing is the impression of confidence ability to master all difficulties in an atmosphere of quiet dignity perhaps, but there is ever the feeling that within the depths of the same flowing stream are possible of turbulent emotions. Mr De Bose has gained a definite place for himself as a pianist, and that place is in the front rank The next recital was announced to be by Mr. Dunbar, clarinetist, but the exact date will be made known later.

"Tom Flanagan" (as the Atlanta Independent calls him) is a southern bred poet. He is a young, inspiring man whose rank in the literary world is still advancing. One column of The Independent is devoted to his works each week. Flanagan's poems, like Dunbar's, not only snow us that he is humorous, but also of his deep pathies and sympathy. With no proplains to solve and no peculiar type of character to represent he goes into Negro life, sees it as it is, and emerges portraying it with living characters, exhibiting the elasticity, spirit, tone and natureness in the life he介imh What a confession Mr. Flanagan gives in "The Poets Wail." Note the last atanza. "We now-a-day poets go to the purple huts andream We drink in the font o sunshine where nature's glorious stream; We go to the battlefield and picture valor and pains; We cheer the boys to victory to the peals of martial strains, But, On, our age denies us fame, and calls it all blust, We poets have a hard time trying to "get by" with our stuff! Mr Flhangan shows he likes humor. Note what he hearty laugh we can arouse. "I tell you plam—twitx me an you (an dis aint no lie) All ob us down here in Dixie Lub blackberry pie!

But by the bigness of his soul But by the bigness of his soul "And the Sunshine in his eyes" Girls, I am sure we all have enjoyed this little article and I wish I had space to continue telling you about his nice poems, but my article is exceed- ingly long now, so I must close.

There are four clubs entered and these folks make the people of the town sit up and take notice by the way they make things humbly. The Hi-Lo-Club heads the list, and is supposed to be the champion card playing club in the country. They have no deep regard for Mr. Hoyle, and all of their games are played "according to us". The Diepies of Anantas have the largest membership the most brilliant imaginations and are far famed for their originality. The Outdoor Club member are all athletes (and them), they have been everywhere, seen everything and know everybody (Some folks). The last, but not least, is Boys, who can give all the other clubs a run for their honors at all times and in any place.

The guest of honor was very tall, seeming to be able plain with bask crew eyewear. He was dug over with his meat-hook-like hands supporting his sharp chin. The feet perched on the runge of his chair were fore and aft. His small heady eyes shifted with lightning like rapidity over the room. "Say," whispered Eagle Eyes to Never Miss, (these two are buddies)' is your friend by any chance related to the famous gentleman from Sleepy Hollow? "Search Me," replied Never, Miss, scratching his head with much gusto. "Since you happen to speak of it, he does look sort of sleepy. "Yeah," said Eagle Eye, viewing his friend rather weary, "I think that your education' was kinda neglected." "Quit it, boys," said Dur, who completed the trio.

On Sunday, February 24, I visited the 13th Avenue Presbyterian Church, Newark, Rev. L. B. Ellison, pastor. The service was very impressive. There was the opening, and then a ten-minutes prayer in song service, and the exposition of this beautiful sermon. Rev Ellison's text was "Be ye not doomed, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also rea" It I was to paraphrase this text, without changing the sense I would say. Don't fool yourself, God is not nucked. We can't fool God, for whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. This is a wonderful part of the scripture, (all the scripture, is wonderful, but some more than others) Shakespeare said "All the world is a stage, and we are all players on the stage. Paul said, "All the world is a field and we are sowers in this field. We go out and sow, and then reap." So I say, dear friends, this is a wonderful scripture, wonderful meaning depth and sounding, for it goes down to the bottom of things. So wonderful is this scripture that I feel sorry for the man who can read it or sit and hear of without taking notice. Whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. It tells us in the first place, that our eternal destiny is in our own hands. A man reaps what he sows. Whatsoever a man soweth that, and nothing else shall he receive at the harvest time. The quantity may be based upon circumstances of which one has no control as raam, sunshine, etc. but the quality depends upon just what you put in it. It is a truth. A man never sows corn and expects harley. He expects to bring in just what he puts out. Paul tries to tell us what is true in the physical world is true in the spiritual world. Our reaping is going to be in accordance with our sowing. Paul said all the world is a field, and I am going to divide this field into three parts. I a field of our own in individual hearts, I a field of our home and home life, I a field of our com- and for there as representatives on the world. Let's come back to the field of the heart. In your own hearts, we can't sow a seed of one kind and expect another. A man who owes contentment, rebellion, and envies cannot reap a hardest sow and happiness. You let UNITY SOCIETY OF PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY 9225 - 71b AVENUE Services every Sunday 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. classes every evening (except Satu- rday) Healing in mind and body and affa- tions (taught and demonstrated) Art and mathematics (student) Sasha Prain and Arthur I. Brown (inter- preter) Mr Arthur I. Brown: Speaker Jobt is jealousy, and suspicion take hold of you, and suspicion will be wrong sowing these seeds you will surely reed a hateful harvest. Let a man say this: "Every man is against me, no one can do anything for me." So show these things We get what we look for. Our child is our gudling thought. You can sow a seed of propitious and livable upright life. Let's go into a broader field, the home. Whatsoever seed we sow, sow we always reap it in the home. Whatsoever seed we sow we always reap it in the home. Let a man use unbecoming language in the home and the first thing you know, the little children will be paying the same thing. What we sow we are going to reap in the day to come. What kind of seeds are we sowing in the home? Friends are saved or lost very largely by what seeds you sow in your home. Do you have player service and song service? What can you expect in years to come. Sow vanity and in a few years you will reap a family of fashionable giddy children. Sow card playing and not very long after you will reap a family of gamblers, for it is in the home where it is started. This is a law and is unchangeable." This was indeed a inspirational and practical lesson by Rev. Ellerson. We will read more of his sermons from time so time. I am sure you will be benefited as I have been. Hugs and kisses. PIT-UPAT.

MEMBERS OF CHARLES YOUNG POST PEEVED AT INACTION SHOWN Members of the Col. Charles Young Post, No. 398, American Legion, the only New York City Post with a membership entirely of Negro veterans of the recent World War, will serve themselves as being somewhat disappointed at what they term an apparent inactivity on part of the newly elected officer with regard to internal interests of the Post. The passage by the State Assembly of the soldiers' bonus, which carries a maximum award of $150 to each veteran, is a matter of signature. It is a matter of interest to the open, for it is provided in the bill that distribution of the bonus will be made through the local Posts. Influential members of the Charles Young Post express surprise that there has been no meeting of the executive committee since the January election of officers, saying that the constitution provides the post commander shall take a meeting within as that after election. Dissatisfaction over the election of Thomas H. Walters as county representative is also manifest. Commenting on this phase of the situation, one member expressed the opinion that, the Post stands to lose all of its hard won prestige in the County and State Organizations by selecting as its representative a man who was removed from the office of the officer commander on charges of alleged malfeasance in connection with the distribution of money from the State for disabled and unemployed veterans. Another expressed the opinion that since five members through concerted action can bring about the impeachment of Walters, it is possible that present faction might be attributed to fear on par with some of the officers who are personally in sympathy with Walters, and who seek to avoid the possibility of concentrated opposition to him by not having a meeting of the executive committee. From expressions made by various members it is possible that advantage will be taken of a provision in the constitution putting it in the power of three members to demand a meeting of the committee Y.

Robert Shaw Wilkinson Jr., a senior at Dartmouth College, has just won the distinguished scholastic honor of being elected to membership in the Phi Beta Tau fraternity, the leading colleges, and universities of America on under-graduates, who are among the best scholars, and is for scholarship only. Up to date only forty-seven Negroes have made this fraternity. It is also a significant fact that two of this number have been former students and graduates of the State Agricultural and Mechanical College at Orangeburg, S. C. They are Dr. E. E. Just, professor of Physiology at Howard University, Washington; and R. S.-Wilkinson Jr. It is also remarkable that both of these illustrious men won the honor at Dartmouth College. Young Wilkinson is the eldest son of President Wilkinson, State $A$ & M. College, Orangeburg. He excelled in scientific subjects with the exceptional general average of 96.25 per cent. PULLMAN PORTER NEWS PULLMAN PORTER NEWS BY JAMES H. HOOGAN Voting for the collection of twenty-four representatives, who are to confer and negotiate, on behalf of the porters and maids, an agreement with the Pullman Company on rules and working conditions, took place last week in an institute and agencies of the company. The ballot contained the names and addresses of sixty-three candidates, and the districts and agencies out of which they operate. These candidates were selected some time ago at a primary election held throughout the municipal system. The selection was made in this manner in order that each district, no matter how small a number of men it carried, should have a candidate on the ballot. The candidates on the ballot were supposed to have been chosen by the porters and maids of their respective districts because of their intelligence, honesty, and thorough knowledge of the working conditions with which they have to content, and when, in many instances, need to be adjusted. If the employees concerned have tailed to select that kind of representative, they have only themselves to blame, for the company left the selection entirely to them. As a result of the election held last week, twenty-four out of the six sixty-three candidates will be designated as representatives at the conference in Chicago. Each zone with more than three districts and agencies will have three representatives. New York is in the Northeastern Zone, which also contains Boston and Jersey City (Little K.). At the final elections every porter and maid in the service was allowed to vote for twenty-four of the sixty-three candidates. The following is a list of the names appearing on the ballot. Those names after which (x) is marked are the ones favored by the New York district E. W Willis (x), St. Louis, A. A. Miller, No. Z, (x), Kansas City, A. S. Fisher, Denver, John C.

Although it occurred on February 22, it was not the first President's birthday that was celebrated at 1201 St. Marks avenue, Brooklyn. Mrs. James F. Adair had invited a few friends to an informal luncheon at her residence and thirty-five responded. The luncheon, which has become an annual event, was a very enjoyable incident. It was stated that this was also the birthday of James F. Adair, who owned up to being "fifteen years old" but many of the guests remarked The Police and Fire Departments are asking owners, landlords and tenants to give strict attention to the importance of not throwing garbage, paper or refuse down dumb-waiter shafts. Such acts of carelessness are responsible for fires and endanger lives and property. Garbage and refuse should be ready for janitors at regular hours. Observance of this rule will minimize the danger of fires and the spread of disease. ST. LUNKS EKISOPCAL MISSION, 18 EKISOPCAMBRA AVENUE, copenhagen 186th street. E. KILLOD, Durant, 1 a. m.
