That is, he peddles when the police are not making him "move on." The other night he was near the Hotel Astor when Policeman Goldstein saw him and gave the move "order" a half hour before and a few minutes later, the cop saw Dixon again dangling his after-theatre crowds. Goldstein turned back and placed Dixon under arrest. In the meantime, H Anomhia, a Greek, was seen selling volets right in front of the Hotel Astor, so Goldstein collared the flower vendor also. With two on his hands the policeman was unable to manage both, and Dixon was relishing a night in the theater, wrenched away and set on a hotah journey through 40th street toward 40th avenue. Policeman Kelly heard Goldstein's whistle and gave chase, and Policeman Sullivan, not knowing what all the excitement was about, fired several shots into the air. Kelly caught Dixon right in front of the Lamb's Club and several of the clubites became dignificant at what they declared was unnecessary brutality on part of the cop in making the arrest. The Lamba without delay went to the 47th street police station and entered strenuous protest against the policeman for his alleged brutality but who, there surprise when Officer Goldstein arrived with his two prisoners to have Dixon declare that he has not been but that all of the policemen in his station were his friends. Although bystanders were sure that three shots had been fired and that a night stick had been used with vigor Dixon denial of having been beaten rendered their efforts futile. Dinner to Col. Hayward at Waldorf-Astoria Featured By Old 15th Regiment Band Distinguished Citizens Unite in Tribute to Popular Federal District Attorney and Lieut. Sissle, In Song; Launches Gubernatorial Campaign for Former Commander of Famous Negro Regiment. More than sixteen hundred of the most distinguished men and women of New York assembled in the great ball room of the Waldorf-Astoria on Tuesday evening, March 6, and witnessed what probably was the formal inauguration of Colonel Willia mHayward's campaign for election as Governor of New York. The most dramatic feature of the evening was the unheralded appearance of the band and field music of the 360th Regiment, (the Old 15th N. Y.) which was commanded by Col. Hayward during the World War, and which won undying interest under its leadership as "The Hellfighter" Lot by Lieut.

Globe Launches Campaign. After singing the verse and chorus in French, Lieut. Sissle switched to English and repeated the chorus, but instead of the words of the composition he sang the following parody Dear old Bill, dear old Bill. All your comrades are pulling for you. You saw you go through shot and shell. For you did your best and did it well Dear old Bill, our hearts you thrill With your spirit of loyalty Wish you be happy and happy of dreams If New York loves her sons of democracy. Dear old Bill, our next Governor you'll be And the crowd burst into wild archaic claim as he finished. This burst of applause was only approximated at another stage of the evening's exercises and that was when former Governor Charles S. Whitman one of the speakers paid a glowing tribute to the worst derful record of brave achievement at the 15th which was recruited while Whitman was Governor and whose colors were presented by him from the Unim League Club ballroom. Stands for Law Enforcement Col Hayward, in his response made no reference to his implied candidacy for Governor, but emphasized his stand for law enforcement and declared that no man or woman could put selfish interest above the law. He said that a law officer found it necessary frequently to choose between the violation of his path of office and the disruption of friendship, but that the importance to be amended or repealed by orderly processes of legislation, but, my friends no man or woman in America is too goal or too important to be compelled, if necessary to obey all the laws put on the statute books by the orderly processes of a free government.

Brennan was found in the lobby on the first floor about 1 a.m. Thursday with two bullets in his abdomen, and rushed to Roosevelt Hospital, where an operation was performed to save his life. The only story obtained is to the effect that Brennan left his friend's apartment about 4 o'clock to go off to a delicatessen for refreshments.

The suspension of Patterson Simone at the 38th Procter was aroused on Friday morning February 29 by men who came out of the subway station at 155th street and Lenox avenue with several large packages. The officers questioned them and was told that the packages* contained old shirts which had been bought from a laundry down town. This explanation only increased the suspicion of the officer who ordered one of the packages and it was found to contain new shirts. With the assistance of Traffic Police man Carter, the men were arrested and taken to the 155th street police station. They gave their names as Andrew Harris 40 of 209 West 141st street, and Henry Francis 23 of 199 West 141st street. The shirts were spread out enables and made the police station look like a haltered shader. After inquiries by the Police Department it was found that Kaplan Brothers shirtmakers at 205 Fifth Avenue had been missing shirts for some time. Ralph Shapoe of the Kaplan brothers failed the shirts at the police station but had been valued at $500. Further questioning by the police caused Harris and Francis to admit that they bought the shirts from a man in the streets of Broadway and 21st street. They are being held without bail on a charge of receiving stolen goods. Ministers of New York Pass Resolution Approving Work of The Age Against Hootch A Contrast of Sinister Significance Is the Qulescent Attitude of Certain Pastors Who Fail to Take Action Against Menacing Conditions in Their Church Neighborhoods.

MINISTERS ADOPT RESOLUTIONS. The Inter-Denominational Ministers Association of Greater New York and vicinity views with pleasure the many efforts of Fred R. Moore, editor of The New York Age, to clean up the "Hootch" conditions in Harlem, and congratulates Mr. Moore upon the signs of victory that are now manifesting themselves. The Association begs to assure Mr. Moore that the Clergy is solidly behind him and stands ready to respond to any call he may make upon the Association. UNANIMOUSLY-ADOPTED by the Association at its regular meeting. Monday, March 3, 1924. The above resolution furnishes an interesting development in that it is the unanimous action of a group of ministers of all denominations, pastors of churches in New York City and its immediate environs. It places the clergy of the city on record as endorsing the campaign of The Age for cleaning up this community so far as hootch and dope selling, gambling, prostitution and other social evils Shields a manager of the Lafayette Cafe 113d street and Seventh avenue, returned to his apartment unexpectedly and saw Adams walking down the hall clad in pajamas. He immediately opened fire upon Adams, who ran into a room and barred the door. Six shots were fired, two of which took effect. One of the shots which took effect was fired through the door and struck Adams in the abdomen. Shields then threw the revolver down and went to the apartment of William (Tip) Harte at 410 St. Nicholas avenue, where he was later found hiding under a bed by Detectives MacFarland and Butler. Mrs Shields rushed from the apartment and phoned the 135th street police station informing the police of the murder. Dr. Leute of Harlem Hospital was also summoned and found Adams in a dying condition. But before he shed he asumed Shields of the crime and denied any wrongdoing with Mrs Shields. Mrs Shields and Lula Gomez his sister who witnessed the shooting, stated that they had gone out to a party on the night before with Mr. and Mrs Clarence Robinson who was the vaudee-partner of Adams. They returned Adams to the apartment of Adams and aguaged a spare room in their apartment for the night. She denied any improper association with the man and added that she and her husband had not lived together for some time. The dead man is survived by his wife of 50 years Nicholas avenue, and a mother and father in Indianapolis. His funeral was held privately from the funeral parlor of Granville O Paris on Saturday afternoon March 1, and the body was shipped to Indianapolis for burial. Shields who is a brother of Assam human Henry Shields, is being held without bail on a charge of homicide. are concerned. This is the same organization which was addressed on Monday, February 4. By Editor Moore, at which time he charged that ministers of the city were charged and had been muzzled by boot-legging interests; the charge being based on the fact that many of the ministers had refused to give voice to condemnary opinions with regard to the debating and injurious activities of the hootch sellers in, Harlem. ```markdown ``` A Sinister Phase A significant almost sinister, phase of the booth situation as regards Harlem's ministers is the silence of several pastors in the immediate virginity of certain notorious resorts. Two or three churches are located contiguous to one of these places—Connex Inn which is operated in the basement of the Lafayette building at 113st street and Seventh avenue in New York City. The church that during the hours just after midnight the neighborhood is infested with large groups of underwater habitats who make Connex Inn their rendezvous and that these groups are characterized by the most unseemly behaviour. Intoxicated women and hostooser men—almost all of whom are white are in evidence both physically and vocally, their actions being of a disgraceful nature and their utterances vile and obscene. This neighborhood take no action against this condition furnishes group for questions by many who are familiar with the neighborhood. Connie Draws Color Line Colored pleasure seekers of the cabaret type are putting on a big holler" because they claim the managers of Connie Imm are discriminating against Negro patrons. Their only chance to gain entrance to the place is by applying in the early evening when there is little air and the patrons are fairly turned away on the plea that the place is filled, but whites coming along later are admitted without delay. The latest report in regard to the color discrimination is based on an alleged difference that is being made with the entertainers. Rumor has it that the producers of the Revue which is given nightly had employed a female completion girl. The management said to have told the producers that these girls must be gotten rid of and "high yellow" employed, as their color would be more in harmony with that of the white guests and not produce such contrasts when in close proximity as to grouse criticism on part of casual outsiders who might be present. Connie Imm was again and one of the waters was placed under arrest, but the place continues operating at full capacity. Poison Hootch Kills Man That patronizing the bouchon holes of Harlem is a dangerous proposition that shows last week when a Savoyard took an ardour, left the scene of his duo 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, 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 joints are located, under various camouflages, at the following addresses He and went to a neighborhood booth to buy for a drink. He got the drink but returned to work. He in a short while he was stricken down, and on a hurry pally was rushed to Harlem Hospital. The doctors quickly diagnosed the case of alcoholic poisoning and examined every resource of medical care to save the man. Their efforts were of no avail, for death soon claimed to victim. The man was buried Saturday. the meantime police officers have arrived to the Special Service Division have been making an effort to show commissioner Enlight that his recent calling of them for seeming neglect of news had taken effect. Detective Service Wm. Hooke of the office of Chief Inspector Samuel G. Belton, who is in charge of the Special Service Division of 250 plain clothes officers, came up to Harlem and attempted to raid Hyman's boothchery at 582 Lenox avenue. He was accompanied by Detective Thomas Luffs. When the two men entered Hyman's place, about twenty patrons promptly jumped behind the bar and succeeded in destroying every bottle of hoochin in the place, so the officers could get no evidence. Then, to cap the climax, as Houk and Lillis were leaving, one of the customers, alleged to have been Thomas Johnson of 229 Edgcombe avenue, waited in the dark hallway and tipped to put Houk out of business by kicking him in the face. A fight ensued, but Johnson was taken into custody on a charge of felonious assault. Houk went to Harlem Hospital and had his face fixed up before he could return to duty. Four members of the Special Service Dyfionian raided N. R. Goldgraben's booth parlor at 573 Lenox avenue and applauded the cashier and bartender, the latter a Negro, John Williams of 47 West 129th street Present at Raid. A member of The Age staff was able for a short while, to take part in a Leenox avenue raid. Federal agents raided 488 Lenox avenue on Saturday night. There were eight or ten men in the group and when they entered the place and made their way to the back room a reporter unobtrusively followed. The officers found no evidence of hooth in the business part of the establishment and several of them were ready to leave. One or two, more realous, discovered an iron door leading to the rear which was fastened. They rattled and rapped for a few minutes and were about to give it up as a fruitless job when evidently the custodian on the other side of the door mistook the signal or else became curious to find out what was going on. Whatever the reason, the door was unfastened from the inside, and as it awaigned open the officers, whether they wanted to do so or not, had to make their way inside. Wooden pails were to be seen, each one filled with colorless liquids that were promptly gauged as "ALKIE," which seemed to be the code name used by the officers to indicate alcohol. There were also a number of cases filled with half-pint bottles of various colored liquids, and other cases were on the floor, each containing smaller flasks, supposed to be the half of a half pint which is greatly in demand by the individual drinkers, or the customers who come in couples. Empty tin containers, apparently of about a 5-gallon capacity, were also at hand, and the officers proceeded to fill some of these from the wooden pails, while others began taking out the cases containing bottles and flasks of liquids. The boss's son was put under arrest as the "goat." Mistaken for Police. The reporter stood quietly at one side, an interested observer, and when one of the officers, all of whom were extremely youthful in appearance, became doubtful as to who he might be, and asked for information, he was satisfied when shown a glimpse of the police card carried by the newspaper man, bearing at its head the inscription, "POLICE DEPARTMENT," and seemed to assume that he was connected with that body. Another curious officer, later, also noticed the stranger and his inquiry was answered by the first officer, who said the reporter was with the Police Department Finally, however, one of the officers who had been busy running back and forth holding several secret conferences with the proprietor of the place, came in the back room and saw the reporter. He immediately ordered him to leave, demanding to know what he was doing there, and telling the reporter that he had no business in there. Discretion advised avoiding an argument and indicated the possibility of rough treatment if any resistance on staying was made, and the reporter rejoined the friends with whom he had been conversing when the raid was begun. They were very much relieved at his appearance without having suffered and injury. Invading 136th Street Block. Residents on 130th street between Lenox and Seventh aviaries are up in arms at the invasion of that block by the hootch hounds. Hyman Dietzel, who has been operating a quick limch counter at 523 Lenox avenue as a cam mufflage to one of the biggest hootch business on that thoroughfare, has taken over 101 a West 130th street, heretofore exclusively used for residential purposes, and put in a full fledged bar room. He had moved the features from the Lenox avenue place, and installed them in 101st, where business was opened up last week. Patrons of the Lenox avenue place are copfronted with a large sign, announcing the removal, and the attendants carry a supply of small business cards in their pockets which are handed to customers over the rough counter which has been left to take care of the trade that still comes to that place. People who live on 105th street, who have been uninterested in the hooch situation because it was on Lenox and Soventhi avenues, are now indignant because the hooch hounds have come into their block and are protecting mightily. Just what steps the yare planning to take remain to be disclosed. In the meantime, the hootch hounds are not so bold and open in their operations. Some of these places take the precaution of not admitting any one with whom they are not familiar. Others have their stock cached in some other place than the room in which the customers gather and each order is given to some unseen helper who mysteriously fills the same with the required liquor. Some of the places supposed to have been closed by padlock injunctions, which process enjoins the premises from any use whatsoever for the period of the injunction, are cleaned out so far as the hootch business is concerned but are opened for other purposes. Just what the situation is as regards these places remains somewhat of a mystery. Say Redding Did Not Mention Dent's Name Relatives of the into Detective Sergeant Wesley Redding, the first Negro to attain that rank in the New York Police Department, inform The Age that the statement contained in last weeks' issue, in the account of Redding's sickness and death, with reference to the Herbert Dent case, were not founded in fact. Information is to the effect that Redding died peacefully while sleeping, and his death came as a shock to the nurses at the hospital, the end coming at 5 o'clock in the morning when there was no one in the ward with him. It is declared definitely and positively that there was no evidence of brooding over the Dent case nor did he call the name of Dent or any name similar. The statement in The Age was based on information from an alleged friend who claimed to have visited Redding at the sanitarium, prior to his death.

World Prize For News Item Selection (Continued from First Page) of age, of 202 West 143rd street, who is a senior at the Roosevelt High School, won both the first prize for the week of $20 and the monthly bonus prize of $50. Her prize winning article was on the proposed Child Labor amendment to the Constitution and the judges made the comment; "It shows the greatest breadth and depth of thought" When informed Sunday morning by a World reporter that she had won this coveted prizes, Miss Berlack could hardly refrain from crying with joy. She said the money came just in time as she was about to quit school because of a lack of funds. Now she will be able to complete her course in May and expects to take a course in accounting at New York University. She was born in Florida but came to New York about five years ago. During the past three years she has been an honor student at Roosevelt High School and has made one of the most perfect records of any student in the public schools of the City of New York. Amid waves of applause from her fellow students in the auditorium of the Roosevelt High School on Monday, Miss Berlack was presented with a check for If You Wish to Increase Your Earnings This Is of Special Interest to You PORO COLLEGE or a nearby PORO AGENT will teach you quickly.

The Proposed Child That the boys and girls of the United States shall have equal opportunities in all parts of the country, begins what seems to me to be the biggest news item of the week. This proposed amendment, if passed, will help to conserve the rising generation of America. Such a conservation of humanity means: 1. Higher standards of living for the average family, physically, mentally and financially. 2. Economic, industrial and social advancement for the country at large. 3. America as a protector of its young minds in the making. 4. The practical application of the theories of science, education, and logic, in that we love and protect our future citizens. The New York problem of child labor is sometimes overlooked because of the equitable educational system here. Horrors, however, face us as we think of the hundreds of children working in tenement houses, straining their eyes, stunting their growth, and probably spreading disease through the garments they work on. The textile mills of the South, the sugar beet fields of the West, the truck farms of the East, and the coal mines of Pennsylvania—these, all of these are the base of our child labor problems; therefore we are all guilty. If state regulation has not solved and cannot solve this bugbear situation, a national regulation is needed and should be demanded. The proposed solution of this vital American Problem is truly the biggest news item of the week. Health and Education Meeting at East Orange East Orange, N. J.-Under the management of Mrs. M E.

Exercises began in the institute chapel at 10.30 a.m. In view of the illness of Principal Blanton, H. E. Daniels, assistant district agent of farm demonstration work in South Carolina, assisted E. D. Jenkins, demonstration agent of Bamberg County, in presiding. Among the subjects discussed were the following: (1) Does it pay to grow cotton under bool weevil condition? (2) How to increase the corn yield per acre. (3) Some things to help us live more at home. The institute chapel was packed to its capacity and standing room was at a premium. The farmers were interested and took part in the discussions freely. They told some wonderful experiences in growing cotton under boll weevil conditions. Many of these farmers own their own land. At 1 p. m. the entire crowd marched to the dining hall, led by the institute band. At the afternoon session Agent Jenkins presented Dr. R. R. Roberts, a trustee of the institute, who introduced Dr. R. S. Wilkinson, president of the State College, and district agent for the Extension Service for Negroes in South Carolina. Dr. Wilkinson delivered a strong, forceful and interesting address. "I have been coming here since the day Miss Wright planted the seed which has brought forth this great product," said he. "Since that time, I have worked side by side with others in the cage. In all these years I have never enjoyed a better conference; it seems to be growing each year.

Alston who Beautiful Girl Reveals Secret Once my hair was anything but long and eliky soft as it is now, and my complexion was sallow, and there were often unsightly pimples on my face. One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For plumples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal. If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations. Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier may be obtained for only 25£ at most drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the EXELENTO MEDICINE CO., Atlanta, Ga.

The fact that the officer concerned was a member of the special service division of plainclothes men, formed by Commissioner Enright to regulate the enforcement of the provisions against the sale of liquor, only aggravates his offence. It is to be expected that out of the thousands of men on the New York police force, some individuals will fail to measure up to the requirements of their calling. But the selection of a man addicted to drinking sprees for the delicate duty of prohibition enforcement was a serious misfit. The attempt of some of the daily papers to cover up the misconduct of this officer by distorting the facts of the case by printing stories to the effect that he was attacked without warning by five or six Negroes who were in the place, is contradicted by the testimony of the eye witnesses of the affair. The facts that the drunken officer was put under arrest after the shooting, and it is said, suspended from duty, shows that the police of the 38th Precinct, where the affair occurred, were aware of the actual status of the case. It is also to be noted that the victim of the shooting, although on what may be his death bed, was closely guarded by uniformed officers. The ends of justice demand that the incidents leading up to this apparently unprovoked shooting be probed to the bottom. There should be no difficulty in following the movements of the special service man and his companion, who disappeared after the shooting. The places where they filled up on booze can be ascertained and their movements traced until they made their last notous entry into the cafe where the officer ran amuck. The fact can readily be obtained and put on record, so that no alibi can be pleaded. Commissioner Enright had already expressed his dissatisfaction with the results of the efforts put forth by this recently constituted special division. Immediate and rigid investigation of this one case will show some of the reasons why the division has not succeeded better in its task. An official verification of the facts so far brought out in this case will show that men addicted to drink are not fit for police duty. Let Commissioner Enright investigate at once. ADVICE TO 125TH ST MERCHANTS. Can the Harlem Board of Commerce and its President, Mr. Koch promote the business, civic and moral development of the community by completely ignoring thousands of Negroes? Is there to be a "White Harlem" and a "colored Harlem"? Is the program of the Harlem Board of Commerce in its "go getter" campaign to be participated in by all the people or a chosen few? Is it to be conducted along exclusive lines? Although the Harlem Board of Commerce is made up of Jews and other groups which have been forced to quail from the cup of race premise at no time has the organization maintained a friendly attitude toward the Negroes of the community. The boards efforts have been more detrimentally continued to retarding the Negro progress than in giving him a better hand. Keeping the Negro in a protected realm here one of its chief aims. Have we not has tailed dismally. This Ku Kux attitude has been taken although Harlem Negroes spend enormous sums daily with Mr. Koch and other merchants on 125th Street. If the Harlem Board of Commerce really wants to get anywhere. The Age makes the suggestion that it cooperate with a large and influential group in the community which by all means must be considered in the equation if the results desired by the board are to be attained. Here is some more Brisbane logic. The radical Laborites demand that India get Home Rule, the right to govern herself. Theritically it is sound. But of India was not able to govern herself for five thousand years before England took charge *** how would she now govern herself? There is no doubt about Mr. Hearst's editor being a fundamentalist. We can now appreciate his strange psychology on the Negro question. Because the Negro was in bondage one-hundred years ago he is not ready to take on the mantle of full citizenship and ehjoy equal civic and political rights today. This is the same editor, however, who poses as the Moses of the foreign-born element, thousands of whom cannot speak the English language, are unfamiliar with our customs and will never become assimilated. SENATORIAL LYNCHERS BALKED. The action taken by the United States Senate last Saturday, in voting for the appointment of a committee of five of its members for the investigation of the activities of Attorney General Daugherty, showed that the wouldbe lynchers of the characters of cabinet officers had been balked of their prey. Instead of being able to force the Attorney General out of office without trial or even a hearing, an investigation of the Department of Justice is to be held along lines of authorized procedure. This halt to the lynching fever that swept over the upper house of Congress and vented its rage in an ineffective attack upon Secretary Denby, was largely due to the rebuke administered by President Coolidge and the determined front presented by the Attorney General himself. With undaunted courage Mr. Daugherty refused to retreat under fire and invited the fullest investigation of his office. His attitude was the only one consistent for a conscientious official, relying for vindication upon his record. The easier way of resigning in the face of fire would have suited the politicians better, with the hope and belief that it would relieve the administration of embarrassment. It is creditable alike to President Coolidge and Mr. Daugherty that they did not adopt the easier way, but decided to face the issue boldly. The case of Secretary Denby differed somewhat from that of the Attorney General is that he was allowed to retire without the stigma of malfeasance in office. His greatest offence was rated a mistake of judgment or neglect to fully comprehend the importance of the step he took in acting upon the oil leases. At all events, we have no tears to shed upon Mr. Denby's departure. His judgment never rated high in our esteem, after we read his gushing eulogy upon Nathan Bedford Forrest, the butcher of Fort Pillow, as his ideal of the American soldier. But enough of Denby. Mr. Daugherty deserves respect as a courageous defender of his good name and his record in the Department of Justice. He will have the opportunity he sought to meet his accusers before the Senate Committee and to refute their charges. The committee consists of Senator Smith W. Brookhart of Iowa, chairman; Senators Moses of New Hampshire and Jones of Washington. Republicans, Senators Ashurst of Arizona and Wheeler of Montana, Democrats This movement toward orderly investigation instead of frenzied moral lynching is a welcome symptom of returning sanity in the Senate KANSAS EDITOR ON THE KLAN. KANSAS EDITOR ON THE KLAN. Some months ago we took occasion to reprint the observations of an acute North Carolina editor as to the appeal that the Ku Klux Klan made to an inferior order of intellect, and the consequent sway exerted upon this class of followers by unscrupulous leaders. The first step was to lead the recruits into some form of lawlessness, which would render them the helpless instruments of the heads of the order in their plans of graft or devilry. Some months ago we took occasion to reprint the observations of an acute North Carolina editor as to the appeal that the Ku Klux Klan made to an inferior order of intellect, and the consequent sway exerted upon this class of followers by unscrupulous leaders. The first step was to lead the recruits into some form of lawlessness, which would render them the helpless instruments of the heads of the order in their plans of craft or devilry. A well known Kansas editor, Wm. Allen White seems to have reached about the same conclusion regarding the Klan. In his talk before the Writers Club of Columbia University he predicted that the present political sensations to be followed in all probability by a stirring national campaign this next autumn will reduce the Klan to a thing of very small proportions. His argument was that the Klan was composed of fourth rate intellects which were certain to be swept away by political excitement from the toolkith theories of the order.

He said further according to the New York Herald "These fourth rate intellects remind me of the cries in Canada's stories who lacking anything to hold them steady, flopped from one side to the other with every motion of the ship. They flop to the Klan to Billy Sundaysum, or something of the klian bit when the ship steades down they may orient themselves properly and take hold of something more constructive and useful as citizens. Mr White told of the bloodshed was waged between his Empria Gaette and the Klan He poked them first and ignored them. Neither method had the slightest effect. The Klan then boycotted the Gaette without causing it the loss of a subscriber—a note of advertising he said. But I made a mistake in making fun of them and made a mistake in ignoring them," said Mr White. The person was to handle them is to allow them to sit a space in which to put forth their impulses in the grossest terms. Then they would in themselves with their own credibility. It may be that Mr. White is correct in locating the widest publicity possible for the Ku Klux impossibilities, but it may easily that the order of intellect that makes the man possible will thrive and multiply on a diet.

The lower the order of intel- lect the greater resistance it may display in the poison of its own credulity. The order of intellect fascinated by the Klan appeal must be taught first to look for higher things. Here's another problem for the educators of the country. AN UNUSUAL REPUBLICAN The debate over the Mellon tax reduction plan in the House of Representatives last week brought to light some varieties of present day Republicanism, which held little resemblance to the original brand of faith. The Democrats at least were consistent in that they flatly opposed the administration bill on purely partisan grounds. The final result of the debate was the adoption of the compromise measure offered by Representative Longsworth, a sufficient number of the dissenting Republicans voting with the organization to bring about its passage.

The lack of backbone among the Republicans in Congress, as diagnosed by Mr. Munsey's organ, The New York Herald, together with the tendency to stray after strange gods and desert basic party principles, has brought Republican rule to a perilous state of uncertainty. Among the members of the House from New York State, who have been held responsible for this state of affairs was Representative Hamilton Fish, whose position has been counted as radical in many respects. But Mr Fish consistently voted for the original Mellon plan and finally for the Longsworth compromise to remove all question concerning his regularity on party measures, the member from up the state defined his position as follows: The lack of backbone among the Republicans in Congress, as diagnosed by Mr. Munsey's organ, The New York Herald, together with the tendency to stray after strange gods and desert basic party principles, has brought Republican rule to a perilous state of uncertainty.

I believe in the immortal creed enunciated by Abraham Lincoln of a Government of the people, by the people, for the people. "I have to plead guilty to seeking to oppose any and all legislation that conflicts with these musty and half forgotten principles. I was instrumental in having the rules of the House changed in order that a majority of a substantial number of members of the House could force the committees to report legislation that was desired in the interest of the public, instead of permitting them to chloroform bills with impunity. I also voted to change the Underwood rule to permit a majority of the House to amend revenue legislation the same as in the Senate. "I am neither a conservative nor a radical, but just a plain Republican who believes in the original principles of the Republican party, and one who has an abiding faith in the popular Government I have voted for and supported all the big party issues as set forth in our national platform, such as the tariff bill, ship subsidy, repeal of excess profit tax, and for the pending revenue legislation practically as reported by the Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee." This kind of Republicanism has become so rare that a public profession of it by a live Congressman is as refreshing as it is surprising. And yet when the record of representative Fish is recalled as an officer in the "Fighting Fifteenth" in the World War, the element of surprise vanishes. His attitude on race relations was indicated by a recent letter to President Coolidge, recommending clemency for the Negro soldiers now in prison at Fort Leavenworth for alged complicity in the Houston riot. What is needed at the present time are more plain Republicans who believe in the original principles of the party and who have the courage to act up to their belief, the fact that such an avowal as that made Representative Fish causes him to be missed as "an unusual Republican" shows the straits to which the party is reduced.

A news letter dated at Nashville, Tenn., published in the Indianapolis Ledger, prefected that either of two things must happen at the next general conference called May in Louisville, Ky. It specified that either some way must be found of regulating and restricting the power of bishops charged with offenses in the church, or the whole denomination will be split from top bottom." A news letter dated at Nashville, Tenn. published in the Indianapolis Ledger, predicted that either of two things must happen at the next general conference called for May in Louisville, Ky. It specified that "either some way must be found of regulating and restricting the power of bishops charged with offenses in the church, or the whole denomination will be split from top to bottom." The denomination referred to is evidently the African Methodist Episcopal Church, charges of misconduct against several members of the board of bishops having been preferred within the past few years, without securing a hearing or investigation. In the present instance, the charges were preferred by a general officer of the church in an open meeting of the Tennessee conference and published in an official organ of the denomination. Ira T Bryant, secretary of the Sunday School Union, in the Young Allenite, accused this bishop of drunkenness and stealing certain moneys collected from ministers and laymen. Then we find the bishop assigned to South Africa accusing the bishop in charge of missionary affairs with being a "deserter and slacker." These charges publicly made by one church official against another are not edifying to the general public nor conducive of respect for the church. On the contrary they tend to lower its dignity and destroy its usuliness. There should be a proper tribunal provided for the hearing and determination of such charges and the removal of those officials who have proved unworthy. The laundering of ecclesiastical linen in public is an unsavory spectacle but it is the inevitable outcome of the failure of the church to do its duty. Let the Board of Bishops and the general conference meet the emergency with discretion and courage Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings Of Other Editors The latest news of the Mechanics Savings Bank账, as reported in the Richmond Planet, read as follows: Counsel and financiers are now engaged in perfecting plans for the rehabilitating and reopening of the Mechanics Savings Bank. The reading citizens are taking active interest in the movement to safeguard and protect the savings of the thrifty colored people of this community. The proceeds from the sale of the Strand Theatre will provide sufficient money to make it unnecessary to borrow any money to pay the cash allowance of twenty per cent, as provided in the valuers. The colored folks are still praying. The power of prayer will be fully vindicated in the eyes of all Richmond people, when this bank reopens for business. In an editorial headed "Are You a Voter?" the Boston Chronicle made this political review: There was a time when the colored people of Massachusetts were represented by men of their own race in the Governor's Council, the General Court and the Boston City Council. There was a time when colored men had some influence in party councils and when young men and women of the race were found holding positions of trust and honor. Those days have passed. Not only is there no member of the race filling an elective position but the "powers that be" are now asking that a man be a college graduate before he is deemed worthy of a janitor's job. This result is attributed to the failure of the colored people to realize the importance of the right to vote Tax dodging and the church influence which deprecates voting as worldly are also charged with responsibility for this indifference The Chronicle claims that there are at least 16,000 colored persons in Massachusetts who are eligible to vote Senator Lodge was reelected by less than 10,000 votes, so even this number is not to be slighted The Buffalo American which occasionally exhibits Democratic tendencies, recently said We should like to know upon what grounds Walter L. Cohen who was nominated as comptroller of customs of New Orleans should be obnoxious to Senators Ransdell and Broussard, of that state. Mr Cohen has filled numerous positions of trust under the government and found absolutely honest and trustworthy A gentleman in every respect. A man of wealth and culture A good citizen and above all a patriotic American And the only thing we can base our opinion for this opposition at a distance is, that he is a colored man, which we condemn his party for refusing to confirm the nomination over such a protest. Two Republican Senators were reported as voting against the nomination of Mr. Cohen, together with the solid majority of thirty-five Democrats, including Senator Copeland of New York: How about condemning the Democrats, as well? The approbrious epithet of "scofflaw" applied to the "weirs," has evoked the rejoinder of "spfgthigot" as descriptive of the dry contingent. In the meantime booze and hoot continue to flow unrestrained In his report to the Board of Bushops, Editor W J Walls of the Star of Zion official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church voiced some of the limitations that beset the religious editor. Among other things he said, No inventive, red hooped man can settle in contentment to select data and write for a paper which he knows is doomed to a limitation that defeats his every ideal for its presentation appearance, growth and larger service We are coming near to the close of the quadrennium with a subscription list that is a disgrace to the church and to all the officers concerned with the paper. As the law stands and as the situation is nobody is responsible. I am constantly asked why The Star is not self supporting why the subscription list does not grow faster why we do not increase the number of pages and why we do not change the style from the secular style to the magazine like the Universal Church journal term. I answer these injuries that the editor has not the right to change increase the pages or the subscription list. He is confined wholly to the literary. He cannot even control the date of its issuance. The law does not prescribe any specific duties to him or the manager. It merely says that the manager controls the business and the editor all literary matter except the advertisements which belong to the business department. The editor's ultimatum is to change the law and the Star will grow. Despair his limitations. Editor Wall's has given the Star a strong editorial page. In reviewing the great work performed by much schools during the past fifty years in the South the United American Fred Stenner of Charlotte NC cited the better progress being made for Negro education in the States as putting the church to the test it said. For instance the States most cases are now paying larger salaries to teachers than the Church's pay. By doing the services of the best trained teachers are usually secured. While as a true case is the case we are glad to say that many of our teachers choose where they feel they can render the greater service regardless of the small salaries received. There are two ways to teach the present condition at the high school may be improved. First, to liberal support, these schools on the part of the democrats and whose purpose they are created second by eliminating some of the elementary parochial schools, especially when they date the public school, by applying the money will upgrade these schools. If the elementary grades to the work of secondary schools and colleges, thus taking a possible enlarged the equipment of such schools, lengthen their terms, and increase the The Age Readers' Forum salaries of teachers: While these changes proposed would undoubtedly increase the value of these schools; the need for their existence still exists. The Petersburg Weekly Review stated that intense interest is being shown in the fight between the "Lilywhite" Republicans and the regular party members in that city. The latest developments were recounted as follows: Since the throwing out of the white delegates at both the State and district conventions, the colored voters seem determined to press the fight until lilywhitelism is crushed out of existence in the city and state. P W Harris was elected city chairman and it was decided to put the matter squarely up to the Republican National Committee to recog- Pres. Coolidge's Ideals. Editor THE NEW YORK AGE I did not intend that you should publish any part of my personal opinion to you regarding President Coolidge, but since you deemed it fitting to do so and, moreover, comment upon the same, I assure you that I am perfectly willing to stand by my guns. Coolidge, of course, has been serving as President too short a time for any same person to pass absolute judgment upon his administration, and that, too, when he has been considerably handcapped and embarrassed in trying to unangle the rassality of the two former Administrations bequeathed to him. There is a book which, perhaps, you've seend and read, entitled, "Have Faith in Massachusetts," of which Calvin Coolidge is the author Likewise do I say to you Have Faith in Calvin Coolidge. For the proof of the pudding is the chewing of the string." You can already see and hear, if you've eyes to see and ears to hear, that he is going to do that which no other President has ever had the moral courage to do in behalf of the race, in the face of the prejudice of southern sentiment against the political rights of the Negro namely, give Cohen another recess appointment, and that, too, notwithstanding Cohen was twice defeated in the Senate for confirmation. In 1921, at the 100th anniversary of Amherst College, Calvin Coolidge, present as the honored guest, being Vice-President of the United States, among other things, said in his address before the alumni and visitors upon that momentous occasion. "Not all public men have had the advantage and accomplishments of those who are entitled to be called public men have everywhere and at all times been almost entirely under the influence, directly and indirectly, of the ideals which come from institutions of higher learning." "Calvin Coolidge, being a son of 'Old Amherst,' will not be untrue to her ideals, to wit, that right and justice be accorded to every one as he merits it, regardless of race or color. You may think me too enthusiastic for Coolidge, but the "Song," of Old Amhcrist" are loyal to one another, and furthermore, that is just the reason why Calvin Coolidge is today where he is Bro.

"If I Had You Down in Texas!" (By JESSE O THOMAS) A few nights ago, leaving New York City at 11:30 over the New York Central enroute to Rochester, passengers in one of the Pullman cars were awakened by a controversy between another passenger and a Pullman porter. Some misunderstanding arise in connection with the handling of the passenger's baggage. The other passengers' attention was attracted to this discord by the loud speaking of the fellow passenger, who explained to the porter at the top of his voice, "shut up!" If I had you down in Texas, I would swing you to a cumb cut off your ears and take them for a souvenir. Without any further discussion it is clear to the reader as to the race and naturality of the passenger in question, as well as the geographic boundary of his birthplace. The Atlanta Constitution of February 21, chronicles one of the most peculiar and horrible murders that have ever been committed in any civilized community and id espere as it seems to be a sequel to a criminal escape covering a period of a year. A young man by the name of Frank McDowell, claiming to be directed by some invisible spirit and actuated by some dyne impulse at the command of a Jehovah's killer his father and mother while they settled on February 19, exerted one year from the day that two sisters were buried in death on their bed at Decatur Square. An uniting chart was made to connect the maid of Negro land with the wife of the third degree and of which testify that he husband set this room on fire that burned to death these girls. If this had occurred in many parts of the State it would not be surprising of the husband of this charged cook would not have been in Texas" Young McDowell beher of the two infortunate girls, now confesses that it was he instead of the discharged maid who planned the destruction of his sisters for the same spiritual reason that he murdered his mother and father while they slept at St. Peterburg Church, which place they moved shortly after the death of the girls. It now appears through the testimony of one of the legal emplied in at least the last, the great one of Negras, as well as among others from the relatives of the emplied in at least the last, many generals at the time that Frank knew nothing about the following, he didn't have two sisters. I wonder what Frank would do if he had a Negro "down in Texas"? I wonder if this mother left Frank was born ever saw a Negro down in Texas? I wonder if Frank grandfather met the father or grandmother, or either the father or mother, at the fence ever had a Negro down in Texas?

Psychologists might give some interesting information on this question as to the effect it may have on our children where we have a Negro "down in Texas." An important as it is to the Negroes who are the victims, it is of very much importance to the white people, their victims and their children to have Negro "Down in Texas" Albert C. Copeland Controlled By South. Editor THE NEW YORK ACE: Commenting on the negative vote of Senator Copeland in the Cohen case you say that Negroes who cast the ballots for him "have a right to feel that they have been deceived." They were deceived by no other ones than themselves. No one was deceived who was qualified to vote intelligent. The simple facts were and are The directing force of the Democratic Party to the South; in the Senate and House the Democratic caucuses are dominated by the southern representatives, at least so far as the rights of the Negro are involved; it was certain in advance that when the party whip was cracked by the southern majority of the party, Copeland, Edwards, Bruce, et al., would meekly obey. That is what I told Negro campaigners for Copeland would be the outcome if they succeeded in alerting him. They laughed at me. Now they have received the first installment of what they invited. Will the lesson incite them to make a serious study of fundamental party condition? EDWIN C. WALKER 211 West 138th St., New York City STATION H-E-A-L-T-H By Dr. B. S.

EX'-PRESIDENT WILSON'S 14 POINTS vs. A NEGRO NEWSPAPER'S 10 POINTS Our late Ex-President Woodrow Wilson brought before the spotlight of public opinion the well known "14 Points" remedy. The bleeding world, torn by the ravages of a mighty war, needed some form of restorative, so our late ex-president Woodrow Wilson brought toward his "14 Points." The New York News, a Negro newspaper published what, in its judgment to be 10 points on which local community progress could be further developed by the carrying out of the advocated 10 points, namely — Every sane colored man and woman will welcome all that is contained in the advocated 10 points above mentioned. To carry out and to put into practical operation the 10 points above described it will require a little more than to merely mention them. First — We would have to "knock it into the heads" of the old time stand-patters who make up the membership of our fraternal societies, civic or organizations, clubs, etc., the common sense necessity for the release of at least one-third of their surplus funds to create such as the 10 points above referred to. Secondly — It will require men who can stand up under the strain of perplexing responsibilities—men who will labor not for the mere sake of MONEY, but will labor for the ideals and purpose of posterity. Thirdly — It will require the strength and backbone of a horse in our men to bring about the realization of the said 10 points. If there are men and there should be men in our community who have courage enough to attempt to carry out the advocated 10 points, but, as is customary, words and desires are often utter folly unless an ounce of action can and does accompany them. Perhaps it may not be out of place to say that the Colored American Retail Company, Inc shall bring about an immediate realization of one of these 10 points, namely, a department store The Colored American Retail Company, Inc will open its first department store on March 15, 1924 in the Renaissance Casino Building, 138th Street and Seventh Avenue COLORED AMERICAN RETAIL COMPANY, Inc.

E. Elliott Durant, vicar.* Great is the rejoicing over at St. Luke's, and all New York City is rejoicing with them. At each service the people are compelled to stand along the aisles, while others are turned away for want of space. Last Thursday evening the annual confirmation service took place. The class of forty was the largest in the history of the chapel. Bishop Shipman complimented the vicar and the people on the work that is being done. On Sunday morning at 7 o'clock a corporate communion was held tor the new communicans. From 6 o'clock the candidates and their relatives began to arrive and soon the chapel was crowded to the doors. The vicar prefaced his address to the new members in the words of the Christ, "Simon, Simon, satan hath desired to sift thee, but I have prayed for thee." He exhorted them to look upwards, and amidst the darkness to say always, "Lead Thou me on." At 11 a.m., Father Durant using the theme of the Prophet Nehemiah, took as his subject, "When the people had a mind to build the walls went up." He spoke of Israel's determination to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and contrasted that with the determination of the people of St. Luke's to build a temple for God. Next Sunday will be rally day for the building fund.

Church were attended by unusually large congregations. Bishop M. W. Clair of Monrovia, Iberia, West Coast Africa, was the speaker at the morning service and delivered a powerful sermon which will long be remembered by the large strong of hearers who filled the large auditorium to its utmost capacity. The text was Numbers, 13th chapter and clauses of the 30th and 51st verses. Theme: "Divine Leadership." At the evening service, the pastor, Dr. John W.

Rush Memorial Church The beautiful sunshine brought crowds of people out to worship last Sunday morning. The attendance at Rush was remarkably large. Dr. Oliver filled his pulpit preaching on "Christ, the One Foundation." I Corinthians 5:11. The speaker made comparisons of the earthly building foundations with those of spiritual things and laid great stress on the value of the proper beginning. The sermon had four outlines: (1) Who is the foundation? (2) What kind of a foundation He is. (3) What is Scriptural plan to build on Him? (4) Who can build on Him? The choir furnished very impressive music, directed by Elise Benson Bourke, R. H. Lancaster, tenor soloist, rendered a beautiful selection. His work was very creditable. At 3 p. m. Rev.

All are invited to come and help us complete the remodelling of our basement. First Emmanuel Church. An inspiring sermon was heard by all who attended the services on Sunday morning. Pastor Bolden preached from the text, "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His. Let us labour therefore to enter into that reset least any man fall after the same example of unbelief." Hebrews 4 9, 10, 11. Pastor Bolden said: The believers in our Lord Jesus Christ were urged by the writer in the book of Hebrews to think along the lines of many things that would give comfort and inspiration. The idea of rest was one of those outstanding thoughts. He contrasts the rests or God from his creative labors with the rests of the Son of God in His redemptive labors. And he declares that if believers continue to have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, they will come into a rest that is for them. He claims that this rest belongeth to the people of God While words may be inadequate as to the full meaning or this teaching but in order that we might grasp much of the meaning, we are to think about rest, first as 4-essation from labor, exertion, action, or motion of any kind, repose; quiet; second, freedom from disturbances; or disquiet; peace; tranquility; third, sleep, death; fourth, that on which anything rests, a support; base, basis, fifth, A Place of repose, or quiet a stopping place, an abode. The great underlying thought that leads up to and brings about rest is activity. And activity reveals the only permanent thing namely, change. And everywhere in this movement may be seen true service. And if whole is looked upon from the right point of view the benevolent Father God is seen. When the pure in heart have seen God, all their work is legitimate, beautiful and inspiring, and through such godly labor they enter into rest. Those who die daily, carnally, as well as physically, enter into rest the remains for the people of God Our Lord Jesus the Emmanuel says, "Come unto Me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest onto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." When we become yoked up with our Lord and Master there is a pleasing tranquil relief from all painful and weiling thought, feeling or action; our conscience is steeped in divine love and we vibrate in harmony with God and all mankind. Hence we have pleasure in doing what we LYN CHURCHES BROOKLYN BROOKLYN CHURCHES Fleet St. A. M. E. Z. Church "Opportunity," was the impression theme at the morning service last Sunday. The beauty of a spring day, with a sermon to soil of hope and inspiration, fitted well into the general theme of the lesson taught and conveyed a fuller meaning of spiritual and religious opportunities made possible by the Christ To the christians it was a forecast of the blessedness of life in service, to the non-Christian, a strong appeal to transformation The Sunday-school grows in interest which manifests itself on the large number of young women and men applying themselves in special work as it relates to religious education A dozen at least will receive certificates while a lesser number will get diplomas from the Sunday school Institute of the Brooklyn Sunday-school union, and other schools of special study. Mr Davis was the leader of the Christian Endeavor service. He is one of the most active young men in that department and also a teacher in the Sunday-school. At 7 45 p.m., Christ the Door" was a fitting climax to the morning them, a summing up of "Opportunity."

"The Gold Front Stores," which opened to a distinguished audience of both races on Monday night, March 3, is wholly without merit. The story is hokum and does not represent any phase of Negro life, although Raymond O'Neill, director of the Ethiouian Art Theatre Co., which sponsored the play, led many people to believe that it was a high-class drama on Negro life. It was on the strength of Mr. O'Neill's personal boost that such prominent people as Dr. John Haynes Holmes, Bert Levy, Harry T. Burleigh, Dr. and Mrs. E. P. Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. James Weldon Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Austin, Mr. and Mrs. John E. Nail, the Debutante Club, and others well known in the community, came out to witness the opening. After the second act it was a most disappointed audience and while some left many stayed simply out of respect to the members of the cast, some of whom strove heroically to make something out of the poor material with which they had to work. But not even such an accomplished actress as Abbie Mitchell could put the piece over. Its theme was about an ignorant and shiftless colored man (J. "Happy" Holmes) who owned a grocery store and had many lovers, one of whom was his cook (Abbie Mitchell). A promoter (Gus Smith) comes along and convinces the proprietor of the establishment that by entering a partnership with him, the business can be much improved and he, the new partner, will help him marry the girl of his choice, which happens to be the manicurist (Edna Thomas). A lot of absurd petty threery and a crude burlesque of "Othello" is worked in, but these only caused the play to run until near twelve o'clock and did not add to its enjoyment. By the selection of the material and the poor us eto which it was put, Mr O'Neill showed that he neither understands Negro life nor the proper handling of a colored cast. The attraction at the Lafayette for the week of March 10 will be another drama on racial life, "Going White," by Miller and Lyles, the stars and authors of "Rumun' Wild." SPORT COMMENT By WILLIAM E. CLARK Rickard Now Has Field To Himself For Staging The Firpo-Wills Bout Impossible Stipulations Have Halted Wills-Firpo Battle Proposed by Lew Raymond Syndicate, Which Offered $500,000 for the Fight—Rickard Now Without Opposition as Promoter. The competition between rival promoters for the privilege of staging the proposed Firpo-Wills bout has narrowed down to one promoter, Tex Rickard, and unless he promotes this fight it will not take place this summer. Last week Firpo demanded that the Lew Raymond Syndicate, which had offered $250,000 to each fighter for the bout on July 19, post a forfeit of $50,000 with a South American bank before he signed the final papers. This the syndicate refused to do and their negotiations were called off. It has been stated in the daily press that James Johnston, president of the National Sports Alliance, and also manager of several well known fighters, is seeking to promote this bout at the Yankee Stadium. But the laws of the New York State Athletic Commission forbid a manager to promote fights and it is unlikely that his offer will be given consideration So Tex Rickard is left alone in the field and his offer of $150,000 to Wills and $200,000 to Firpole will have to be accepted if the bout is to be staged this summer. It will probably be held at Boyle's Thirty Acres, Jersey City, if held at all. A recent dispatch from Firpole to the New York World states that he is anxious to meet Wills and does not wish a return bout with Dempsey unless he defeats the colored champion. If he does meet Wills he probably won't be able to get a return bout with Dempsey and the champion will have to either fight Wills or go into retirement. In the meantime, Harry Wills, who has been the victim of racial prejudice for the past four years, must get a real fight in 1924 or his long layoff will prove disastrous for him. Unless he is a superman he will not be able to keep up his speed after he has passed his thirty-fifth birthday, which is not so far away Eastern League Announces 1924 Baseball Schedule le of the Mutual Association of Eastern even out by the Commissioners of that do not prevent the teams from playing more ally agreed that the first ten games shall call into consideration the parks that have and the fact that there are two traveling unequal in the number of games played for each league member.

Bacharach Giants—meet Brook May 10, single game on July 28, 20 and The 1924 schedule of the Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball Club is currently given out by the Commissioners of that organization shows that each club will have an average of seventy games. The schedule does not prevent the teams from playing more than the scheduled games, but it is mutually agreed that the first ten games shall count in the official league averages. Taking into consideration the parks that have been established for a number of years and the fact that there are two traveling clubs in the circuit, the schedule is unequal in the number of games played at each park, but with a balanced total for each league member. Meetings will be held periodically during the season for the purpose of arranging for the postponed games and other matters which may arise from time to time. The schedule is as follows.

And this standard, according to the management, will be maintained. They purpose also to show high-class photo films, but this feature is temporarily delayed because th e workmen have not finished restoring the operator's booth. It will be ready shortly and announcements of the moving picture program will be duly announced. The name of the house has been changed and will be known as the Supreme Theatre. The feature of its operation, according to the manager's announcement, will be the presentation of the best colored shows now before the public. This theater was timely operated by Summer H. Lark now Assistant District Attorney of Kings County, afterwards being taken over by the Quality Amusement Co. of which H. C. Brown of Philadelphia was the head. Other interests succeeded Mr. Brown but the house has been closed for a long time.

RATNER WON TAINTED VERDICT FROM LARRY ESTRIDGE ON MARCH 1 Larry Estridge former amateur middleweight champion lost his fourth fight out of fifty four, when he met Augie Ratner in the star twelve round bout at the Commonwealth Club Saturday night, March 1. The fight was witnessed by a tremendous crowd and many of the fans believed that Estridge had won. The decision met with the peers of most of the fans and most of them felt that Estridge should have at least been given a draw. Estridge attacked Ratner with much vigor and won the early rounds easily. In the third round he cut Ratner's eye with a right swing and rocked him with a valley left backs. In the fourth Ratner caught Estridge with a blow below the bight, but the referee took no cognizance of it and ordered Estridge to continue. But Estridge was warned for an unintentional low blow in the next round and it appeared that the referee was partial Broadway at 62nd Street MATINEE EVERY SATURDAY GEORGE WHITE presents MILLER AND LYLES IN RUNNIN' WILD MIDNIGHT SHOW THURSDAY SEATS SELLING 8 WEEKS AHEAD E-OPENING THE SUPREME THEATRE Opp. Putnam Ave. N.

Hunter. Marguerite B. Avery, soprano, a pail of the maestro, Harry A. Willamay, the singer, and even those who knew of her, promise were surprised at the taste of her development. She has a voice possessing dramatic power and a flexibility that perrella that of a coloratura, with a depth and richness in its lower register the deep throughness of a contralto. Coupled with this natural equipment, under the wise and careful guidance of that most excellent teacher, Mr. Willahah, Miss Avery has won to unusual truth control, making for excellent phrasing, evidenced in the taxing requirements of the difficult area from Meyerberer's "Huguenots," the "Nobil Signor" seldom found on the programs of appranos of today because of its demands upon the singer's technical equipment. This was the first number on her program, and it evinced commendable self-confidence to essay so hard a task without preliminary working up of her voices to its rarified altitude. Miss Avery's voice has another unimaginal quality—evenness throughout its entire range. Lower, middle or upper register, there was the same smooth flowing tess quality to which was coupled an absolute fidelity to pitch, a perit, alas it is which so many fine voices are lacking. This was especially noticeable, though it was more than in any other division of the scale, when Miss Avery was taking the braurora passages of the "Hugugotota" aria and in her final number, Bendecta "The Wren." Especially beautiful were the voice-finite dialogues in the latter, the instrumental passages being played on the piano with delicacy and rigidity of touch by the accompanist (her teacher, Mr. Williams, was at the pianist all of her numbers). As though to contrast her ability in song interpretation, Miss Avery's second group was made up of compositions of an entirely different style. The beautiful and personally sad "Connats-tu le pays?" (Knowest thou the land?) from Ambrose Thomas's opera, "Mignon," was sung with exquisite delicacy and pathot. Songs my Mother taught me," by Dvorak, was another heart-reaching and heart-stirring number. LaForge's "Song of the Open," of a different type, was given with beauty and freedom of imagery. To each of her three groups, the audience demanded and received additional pabulum. She sang Scott's "Wind's in the Sea" Penso) by Toosti, and "Love, I have won you," by Ronald, respectively. Indentally, it should be remarked that her singing of "Penso" was one of highlights of the evening, and it should also be noted that Mr Williams was immitely a pupil of the composer, the great Tosti, and so was in position to impress Miss Avery the composer's own idea of interpretation of the beautiful songs. Added to her vocal equipment, Miss Avery has a most pleasing personality, a charming manner and an impressive stage presence. With determination and a success spurring her on, this young singer will take her place in the front rank of musical endeavor. He teacher, Harry A Williams, must be given credit for the development of his new soprano, and he is to be felicitated that the work he is doing has been splendidly exemplified. The other assisting artist was Gerrington Kerr, the brilliant young violinist from Panama. He played three groups, each of them calculated to test his virtuosity and interpretative ability. He again established his right to be considered as one of the worthest of our young artists. His main fault, if it considered a fault is that he feeds his audience on too rich a musical diet. The weightiness of his numbers keeps his hearers at a high tension of concentration. It might be suggested that there are some lighter, but equally mertorontous numbers which could be sandwiched in between the heavier groups, giving his voice a chance to sit back and enjoy the pure beauty of melody while he shows ample ability to produce. M.Kerr with his sister, Miss Constance Kerr, playing sympathetically in accompaniments, gave the "Legende" ("Caprice" No. 1), "Duet for One Violin, (Dont)," "Caprice Basque" (Sarsate); and "Duet irubay)"—substituted for programed "African Dance, No. 4" by the virtuoso favor, the music of which was inadvertently left at home)—and "Duet Tarantelle" ("Wieniowski"). I de Toro was accompanist for Mr Hunter, and Mr de Toro was urge of the excellent orchestra which dispensed dance music for the didiotiation of the audience until 2.30 a.m. I king was in charge of the ushers, Arthur Hargave, Roger S.

It was DEAD-EASY to be a LEADER of SINGERS and PLAYERS prior to the 20th Century, the MUSICAL COMPANY which the FLO RADIOR EXETTEE of LORDA DRA developed was materally the same as the MUSICAL COMEDY in which the BLACK PATTIE TROU RADIORS developed Then WILLIAMS and WALKER came along and this goes to change. By the time JIM EUROPI SYNCO PATATED the WORLD'S WAR into a successful termination for the Allies, the old line leaders of SINGERS and PLAYERS had a heavy serious problem on their hands. So now we're trying to build up MUSICAL COMBINATIONS and develop LEADERS to meet the situation. We must not only give the SINGER or PLAYER the laws of SUCESSFUL MUSICIAL COMBINATIONS, but we must give him that INSIGHT into HUMAN PARTNERSHIP which is the reason for ORGANIZING and without which COMBINATION takes place. Unless we give out SINGERS and PLAYERS that insight into COMBINATIONS will continue to be a force and LEADERS can only give the SINGER or PLAYER that insight into the great PARTNERSHIP to bring a PARTNER himself. The SINGER or PLAYER must be decent and give the right kind of Young Soprano, whose singing created a furer at Hunter's Pre-Lenten Recital. spect to the LEADER and when disciplined he must make himself a pleasant companion instead of a stubborn, disturbing element of discord and discontent. All should keep an open mind, and a generous heart, but in ensemble the PLAYER or SINGER must give due the LEADER in these HIGH-TENSION times. LEADERS, mark you if you want CO-OPERATION you'll have to give UNDERSTANDING — UNDERSTANDING of the conditions prevailing in 1924 and not UNDERSTANDING in the year of 1893. "LEADERS don't flatter yourself that that SINGER or PLAYER will respect your opinions and spare your feelings merely because you are the head of the COMBINATION LEADERS YOULL WIN RESPONSE AND CONSIDERATION IN YOUR COMBINATION AS YOU MERIT THEM PLAY THE GAME FAIRLY, AND WIN THE MOST VITAL AND INSPIRING COMPANIONSHIP THAT HAS EVER EXISTED BETWEEN LEADER AND COMBINATION. PULLMAN PORTER NEWS By JAKEB H. HOQANB The Pullman Company ahs recently made known that an increase of 8 percent, will be paid its porters. Many of the porters attach much significance to this statement. In fact many of them are of the opinion that the granting of an increase in wage, at this particular time, just on the eve of the conference which is to be held between the management of the Pullman Company and representatives of the porters to discuss rules and working conditions, was an adroit move on the part of the company to forestall any increase in wage. For a reason, as one of the porters acridly remarked, 'No matter what the company does for us, no matter how earnest it may be in its efforts for our betterment—there always seems to be a hidden monkey in the wood pile' "Whether this opinion and feeling is the result of fertile imagination or whether based on facts, we do not know: but we do know that this opinion and feeling is held by a good many of the porters. Furthermore, we know that, despite very little increase, when one considers the high cost of living today On the other hand, although we do not wish to be called 'handkerchief heads' (this is a term applied by the porters to those porters who are inclined to view a question from two angles) there is another side to this wage increase. It must be remembered that wage increases have been made only in abnormal times, such as a war period, and then rarely more than 8 or 10 per cent at any one time. Furthermore than this, it would be well for the porters to hear in mind that the latest report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics recorded a drop of 3-6 per cent, in wages during the month of January, and while we are not taking sides with the Pullman Company, yet there are two sides to every question. We are right or wrong, the following editorial, which appeared in the New York Herald of February 22, 1924, under the caption, "Georges Pay Is Raised" is about a true analysis of his wage question and the porters. "The Pullman Company announced that it has raised the wages of its porters 8 per cent. It is a well deserved increase; it would be better if it were larger. The cost is estimated at somewhat in excess of $1,000,000 a year but as this will be divided among 8,000 to 10,000 porters it is not likely to bring affluence. It is not obvious of course that the wages of Pullman porters do not comprise the total incomes. In fact in a large number of cases the porters wage is undoubtedly a minor part of his income. The Pullman company pays part the tips of the traveling public pay the rest. It is not perhaps the ideal arrangement. In 1915 then berthet T. Lincoln was called to testify before the Federal Commission in Industrial Relations the following year was put to the test with Walsh. Four porters get £250 a month. They are supposed to supplement their pay by getting tips from the public. Might I put it this way? answered the witness. We know they get tips When the chairman suggested that a man might be unable to retain his self respect living under a system where he is forced to get grauvates in order to earn a bwage wage. Mr. Wilhelm repeated that the bwage were paid without regard to the amount of wages an dthat if higher wages were paid they would continue to get the tips just the same. But he admitted I do not think the arrangement is nice at all. And when he was asked Are not the stockholders of the Pullman Company's real tip takers' he answered with a smile. Really that is. And yet condemn the system as you do is probably true that the store and its stores prefer that you shoer your shoes, brush your coat, gather your bags and call you sir will continue to garner tips no matter what the Pullman company does not do. Do not draw attention to a data that from the store he beaten wages pay has been received. $20,000 DRIVE FOR DAYTONA INSTITUTE Dayton, Fl.—On February 20 and 22 a great conference of the presidents and principals of the schools supported by the Board of Education for Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal Church North, was held at the Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute, Among those present were J.

But with all the surprise Meqir Davis, known to her intimate friends as “Big Chief,” refused to let her daughters or her friends know the year in which she appeared on the door step of Mother Russell. Some thirty-five friends met at the home of Dr. and Mrs McClendon and marched over to the Davis house. So well had the plans been laid to surprise “Big Chief,” she was not even asked to leave her palatial home to return and find the party waiting to welcome her. But some one who was not a member of the party liked “Big Chief” like all good mothers, loved her kitchen and that, was her updose. The door was left unlocked and the whole party, led by Dr McTendon, quiesfully fled into the house going straight to the kitchen. The surprise was complete "Big Chief" was caught in the kitchen with a torn apron all nicely but the apron was still there. She just returned from the wedding of Miss Keys. She lost her voice she creed - she laughed - she arose - she sat down - and for a while the doctor's presence was much needed. It was twenty minutes before she came to herself, and all she could say was, "You folks sit down." The ladies had prepared all necessary refreshments. The men presented her with a beautiful percolator. There were games and some very excellent music. The playing of Miss Marie and the singing of Miss Fila Davis was indeed charming. All present had a most enjoyable time. The complete surprise of Big Chief and her apprecieation came to her heart affectionately after the meeting to herself gladdened the hearts of all present.

At the evening service the pastor delivered an instructive sermon on the 'Source of Real Happiness,' based on the The Beatitudes, Matthew 5, 12. Dr. Ellerson pointed out the fact that Jesus wants people to be happy, why so many people are unhappy because they seek happiness from the wrong source the real source of true happiness is from within rather from without, it consists in doing things worthwhile in life, in hungering and thriving after right-ness rather than after the things of the world.

The forest's windows are filled, with yellow jonquilies, and porks little bright-colored hats hamburgers themselves in the shop windows. February—a hard monotone, marked by low vitality—is gone, and we begin to sense the "newness in nature," all around us. Then, we ourselves, want to take on some of this freshness; we want our bodies re-involved, our minds stimulated, and, above all, we want some new clothes. We want to sew—to fashion garments in some of the ravishing shades of orelh or sweetpea; of peach or pale green! And so, if we are not very expert, we join a "Y" class in swing or military or flower making. And perhaps we spur ourselves to new endeavor and join a gym class, and swim or roller skate; and we are pretty sure to visit the beauty parlor more frequently. If we are very young, our minds turn to parties in the spring and our girls are having some very delightful ones. On Thursday, February 28 the Cheerio Girl Reserve Club gave a fancy dress party. George Washington himself was there, and Mrs. Washington with him! There was Spanish girls gaore; Pierrots and ladies of clowns were present. The party was so nice that assasins. All girls could not resist the lure of it when they came downstairs from their meeting, and the Cheerio girls welcomed them graciously to the party which, alas, was soon to close, as ten-thirty was fast apaaching. Up in the club room on the same evening interest and enthusiasm ran high. I believe that few parties could have been more engrossing than the round table discussion carried on there in the Beauty-Arts meeting. The subject was "What My Job Owe Me and What I Owe My Job," and the discussion was led by Mrs. Emma Shields Pena, educational director, who is well informed concerning industrial conditions among our girls all over the country. The girls present had, for the most part, had a great deal on experience as workers in shops, offices, factories, stores and homes, and maze points brought out were illuminating and thought provoking. One of the finest things which the Y W C. A., as a national organization—does is the improvement of working conditions for girls. The knowledge which he must have in order to work intelligently for proper hours, wages, etc., for girls, some from the personal experiences of the girls, and Mrs. Point pointed out to them that them themselves, could do much towards influencing legislation with their votes. We feel that these discussion groups in the club will be far reaching in their effects. Dr. Fairfax Brown Spoke To Meeting of Parents at P.
