CORPS OF COLORED NURSES NOW INSTALLED IN WARDS OF HARLEM HOSPITAL, AND THE TRAINING SCHOOL IS, IN FULL OPERATION Dr. McGrath, President, Board of Trustees, Declares There Is No Rule Which Would in Any Way Discriminate in Appointments on Account of Race. Early in February, this year, a group of three men called on Dr. John J. McGrath, president of the Board of Trustees of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, under whose control is the Harlem Hospital, and discussed with him the matter of having colored physicians on the visiting staff of the uptown institution. The group was made up of Dr. Charles H. Roberts, Dr. U. Conrad Vincent, and The matter was considered in all its phases and Dr. McGrath was candid in pointing out that there was every intention on part of the officials controlling the hospitals of the city to afford all the recognition possible to physicians of all races. Within the past year and a quarter, the hospital mounted a special effort to colored nurses and there has also been opened a nurse training school in which special effort is made to afford an opportunity for colored girls to acquire the training necessary to the career of a graduate nurse. Other departments of the hospital have also been opened to colored members of allied professions—the dental clinics, dietetics division, and others, and several physicians have been admitted to serve in the out-patients clinics. Colored Interna at Bellevue The particular matters now being considered are the securing of Negro graduates in medicine as internes, and the placing of colored physicians on the regular visiting staff. It was pointed out by Dr McGrath that a number of colored internes have served at Bellevue Hospital, and that applicants for internships at the Harlem institution properly qualifying would undoubtedly be appointed. With regard to the medical and surgical staff, it was pointed out that positions on this staff were held by physicians who had been, as a rule, serving over extended periods, and that changes were infrequent. It is entirely possible, however, for colored physicians and surgeons to qualify and there is no reason why the race should not secure opportunities for this service. This conference was of a character that indicated the probability of a satisfactory solution of the Harlem Hospital problem. Some time later, under date of February 21, the Tammany Negro Democratic leader, Ferdinand Q. Morton a member of the Municipal Civil Service Commission, addressed a letter to Dr. McGrath, taking issue with officials of the institution with reference to naming colored physicians to the hospital staff and alleging discrimination in the matter by reason of race and color. Repplies to Morton Commenting on this letter, Dr. M. Geath expressed surprise that Commissioner Morton, a membge of the City Administration, have should have been to dis courteous as to give his letter to the public press before it had been received by the addresser. Such action he said, gave it the appearance of trying to make political capital out of the matter without any real interest as to whether or not colored physicians and surgeons ever got into the hospital. Under date of February 27, Dr. M. Geath sent a reply to Commissioner Morton but the reply was not given to the press. was not given Dr. McGrath's letter to Mr. Morton follows Hon Ferdand Q Mortem Municipal Civil Service Commission Municipal Building New York Dear sir, Dear Sir, Your communication of February 21st received.

FORMER RUNNIN' WILD STAR WINS VERDICT FOR $585 BACK PAY In accordance with a verifier tendered by a jury before Judge Leopold Prince in the Seventh District Court, the proprietors of "Rumn' Wild" will have to pay Ira Duncan, a dancer and singer, $85 and interest for back salary, with added costs Miss Duncan was one of the "Rumn' Wild" stars until March 1, and her singing of the song, "Old Fashioned Love," was a feature of the performance. She was with the company while it was on the road, under an original contract for $85 a week Flournoy Miller, who is one of the principals of the show, and the senior member of the partnership, Miller & Lyle, testified that as the show was not proving a financial success on the road, Miss Duncan, in common with other members of the company, agreed to a reduction of $20 a week Miss Revella Hughes, another of the singing stars, testified in corroboration of Mr. Miller's testimony Counsellor Robert P. Lattimore, attorney for Miss Duncan cross-examined Mr. Miller for more than an hour on certain pay ships and as to an alleged conversation with Miss Duncan in which she was reputed to have agreed to the reduction. Cross examination of Miss Hughes brought out the fact that when the company came back to Broadway and made a list many artists were enraged at larger salaries than those paid on the road. Miss Duncan resigned March 1 giving as a reason her failure to collect the back salary she claimed, while Mr Miller states that she quit when asked to work an extra matinee. The jury, was out for fifteen minutes only returning a verdict for the full amount of back salary claimed by Miss Duncan Alleged Fortune Teller Gets $100 or Ten Days Mrs. Frances White 210 West 11th street was arranged in the Heights Court Monday on range of fortune telling preferred by the Crownman.

One of the most popular politicians in New York is David B. Costuma, Republican leader of the 19th Assembly District.

Judge Davies of 7th Municipal Court Rules That Civil Rights Law Applies Equally to All Tickets, Whether Given or Sold, in Case of Negro Veteran Against Walter Hampden, Inc. An interesting question arising under the New York State Civil Rights Law came up before Judge John R. Davies on Monday, March 24, when he rendered a decision that a theatre cannot discriminate against the holder of a ticket because of race or color, whether that ticket had been purchased by the holder or was a gift. leaders all over the state. Mr. Costima has been a resident of the district practically all his life. After completing his education in the public schools of the city, he began a business career with the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Association, but an opening which gave him the opportunity to learn the interior decorating business with the firm of Duryea and Pollard, at Fifth avenue and 40th street, caused him to make a change. After learning this business and spending some time with this firm, he secured a better position with D. S. Hess and Co. and a few years later he started his own business in the Douglas Ellman Building on 49th street, near Fifth avenue. He is now one of the leaders in this business and has one of the largest establishments of its kind in the city. Entered Politics in 1900. His political career began in 1900, when he directed videotapes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and universities in their Presidential election of that year. For a number of years he was the right hand man to John J. Lyons, former leader of the district. When Mr. Lyons was elected Secretary of State under Governor Nathan L. Miller in 1920, Mr. Costumus was unanimously chosen to succeed Lyons as district leader. During the past four years a large number of colored people have joined the Central Republican Club and have been welcomed at all the functions of the club. It can be said that during his term as leader he has placed at least 400 young men and women in various government jobs, and it was he who recommended Michigan (C.

The Walter Hampden Inc contended that unasmuch as the ticket was a gift and not a purchase that Channell had not been discriminated against when he appeared at the theatre presented the ticket and was refused because of his color. Judge Dayes in his opinion, decreed that a theater ticket is merely a license, receivable whether given or sold and that it be a gift did not change the right of the holder to admission. He declared the complaint alleged a violation of the Civil Rights Act. He denied the motion to dismiss the complaint and assessed $10,000 against Walter Hampden Inc to abide the event. DAVID B.

DRAWING COLOR LINE WITH "RUNNIN' WILD" An interesting disclosure, directly connected with the current Negro production 'Runnin' Wild headed by Miller & Lyle now being produced at the Cosmical Theatre Broadway and 62nd St. is contained in a letter sent to its members by the Theatre Cooperative and Recreation Service operated by Chas Zig Shaw, the offices in the New York Theatre Building 1520 Broadway (Phone 9307 Bryant) Zig Shaw letterhead carries at its top the legend 'DRUTH' The World's Mightiest Weapon.

FEDERAL JUDGE KNOX CONTINUES WORK OF SUPPRESSING HOOCH JOINTS IN HARLEM BY CLOSING THREE MORE WITH INJUNCTIONS Citizens Called On to Protest Renewal of License for Connie's Inn, the Notorious Cabaret Conducted by Connie Immerman in Cellar of the Lafayette Building. Representatives of the New York City Police Department were present at the regular meeting of the Interdenominational Preachers' Meeting of New York and Vicinity on Monday, March 24, at First Emmanuel Church, and the regular order of the day was suspended in order that the officers might be given a chance to discuss vice conditions in Harlem. 369TH INFY. BATT'N WINS HIGH HONOR IN INSPECTION BY STATE The 369th Infantry, N. Y. N. G., was inspected by the State authorities during the past week. All regiments of the State are inspected once a year and it was the turn of the 369th last week. The Inspector, Major Mundy of the 27th Division Staff, stated that the Third Battalion of the 369th was one of the few that had 100 per cent attendance at the inspection. In other words, no men were missing from muster or inspection. The other organization that has the same record is the 7th Regiment Major Jallade of the 369th stated that this record was unique and that the members of the 369th should congratulate themselves that they had one battalion 100 per cent present at muster sions arranged for worthy organizations Just what the method of operation is does not appear from the letter which has come into possession of The New York Age, but information is to the effect that certain organizations are furnished coupons entitling the individual members to a rebate on the admission price, in accordance with an arrangement between the Theatre Cooperative Service and the theatre management. In a letter under date of March 10 Zig Shye wrote his chentelo to the effect that he had received individual calls for tickets for "Runnin' Wild" "where as the policy . . . is to issue Cooperative Coupons only to the organizations who are members," notifying them also that he was reissuing coupons for advantage of members who did not use the first issue of the said coupons for this popular and excellent entertainment. As is said to be the case usually with a women's letter, the gist of Zig Shye's epistolary effort is contained in a postscript. The last phase of this postscript taste a question that Muller and Iyle personally may be able to answer satisfactorily unless they prefer to disavow it utterly. The postscript beginning with underscored line is as follows. CAPTION would you take the writer, of possible to keep these compacts out of hands who are apt to obtain these in quantities often all of these are any NEGRO PORTERS ABOUT. In very recent experiences we have found them in the HANDS OF THE COLORED ELEMENT and this is AGAINST THE POLICY OF THE MANAGEMENT AND PRODUCERS OF THE THEATRE AND PLAY ALIKE. If the particular reference in this case was to some other show than "Runnin' Wild" an outstanding Negro production running for more than one hundred nights already. But it is more than probable that such unmultiple reference NEGRO PORTERS or the COLORED ELEMENT would be made so entirely proper to assume that Negro art was pertinent in his suggestion that. This is against the policy of the management and producers which contains Miller & Lale. To all the more interesting because, in many curring rumors and stories, relating among members of the Negro patrons who attended the theatre, Wild are the debilités eg rated by the theatre ticket seller. The conference followed a meeting of the Joint Preachers' Meeting Committee on Moral Conditions in Harlem, and in response to an invitation extended by the Rev. R. M. Bolden, the following officers were in attendance: Inspector Thomas E. McDonald of the Third Inspection District; Deputy Inspector M. J. Lyman, Captain Maloney of the Ship President; Captain Lyman of the Department District; Members of the Baptist Minister Union had been invited by the Rev. A. C. Garner, and the Revs. W. B. Wrown, W P. Hayes, H M Morris and A. H. Booker joined with their pedo-Baptist brethren. The conference was presided over by the Rev W C. Brown, president, with the Rev George W Hinton, secretary. The regular topic, "The Japan Earthquake," was to have been discussed by Secretary Hinton, but this was sidetracked in order to give the police officers an opportunity to talk Inspector Is Quizzed. Each of the officers made a speech, and Inspector McDonald was quizzed by the ministers on all phases of the vice situation in Harlem, touching upon hooch, housing, cabarets, dirty streets, pistol tooting, numbers playing, gambling and robbery The Inspector made a good impression upon the clergymen, inviting their fullest cooperation and promising to assist them to the fullest extent of his powers The debate, on part of the preachers, was engaged in by the Revs. W W, Brown, R M' Bolden, C A Garner, M, W Thornton, W C Brown, W A Hrd, and W P Hayes. Other ministers present were the Revs Thomas W, Cooper, H M Morris H I Thomas, N Boyd, Boatner Coverdale, Kirton, Whaley Watkins, Lawrence, Wilson, Andrews, and a few others Results are expected from this meeting that will go a long way toward cleaning up the hooch situation in Harlem in accordance with the campaign conducted by The Age. The ministers committer were put in possession of many facts by the police officials, and one of the first results to be noted is Seen in the announcement that a joint conference of the two principal preachers' organizations of New York City - the Interdenominational and the Baptist Union - is to be held behind closed doors at the Metropolitan Baptist Church 128th street and Seventh avenue, on Monday, March 11. Agitation By The Age Endorsed. Ministers present at last Monday's meeting were enthusiastic in their preparation, and many expressed the opinion that agitation by The Age as to violations of the Volstead Law has not been in vain. The only divergence from the main theme, it is reported, was by the Rev W W Brown, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, who took advantage of the occasion to put in a plea for street preaching," which is under police ban in Harlem as a nuisance. Attention of the ministers is called to the fact that license under which the notorious cabaret Connie's Inn located in the basement of the Lafayette Theatre building, 111st street and Seventh avenue in immediate vicinity of several large Harlem churches will expire on March 31, the same day as the point secret ministerial meeting is to be held. Citizens of Harlem declare that a strong effective protest should be made to Commissioner of Lakesburg August W Glatzmayer against the renewal of a license for this place. The groups of habitats, mostly other than the Negro race, congregating in front of the cellar point at a corner of the night but especially in the early morning hours constitute a measure in the peace and comfort of residents in the neighborhood. Groups of patrons in suits and tuxes congregate on the pavement and indulge a free fane language, and this. It is al- lowed.

More Federal Injunctions. The federal Courts continue their activities and additional injunctions have closed three other Eighth avenue hooch juniets to 2444, 2654, and 2657. It is reported that "Chief" Pomerantz, one of the Lenton avenue bootlegging ring, who has had two of his four places closed the courts orders, is anxious now to get out to be falling out to some unwary would be bootleger who is not familiar with conditions, and so will not realize that in buying into the bootlegging business he is getting a "white elephant" on his hands instead of becoming a genuine Hooch Hound. At the same time, attention is called to the apparent effort of the bootlegging gentry to extend the scope of their activities. A pseudo-drug store on Lenox avenue, near 133rd street, is said to be the best-loved position in Harlem in the dispensing of contraband booch. In this place it is reported that the attendant will place the booch glasses right on the pointer, in full view of all passably, filling them with the desired concoction, which the customer proceeds to drink with nonchalant assurance. And another place, a block further down the street, in course of remodeling for business purposes, has all the carmarks of a proposed booch parlor. Twenty-nine booch joints are now padlocked under orders from Federal Judge Knox, as follows FIFTH AVENUE 2140, closed for six months, Feb. 7. 2174, closed for one year, Feb. 15. 2218, closed for six months, Feb. 7. 2234, closed for six months, Feb. 28.

Locke, Addressing Shaw Frat, Says African-Blooded People Are Needed for African Research. (Excellent Correspondence) Raleigh, N. C.—The Iota Chapter of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity has been an active factor in the social and intellectual life of Shaw University. The annual program, given on March 14, in support of the Frederick Douglass Scholarship Fund, was featured by the presence of Alain L. Locke, professor of philosophy at Howard University, who spoke on "Africa and the source of civilization." Prof. Locke is a graduate of Harvard, where he won a Rhodes Scholarship, with degree of Ph. D., and of Oxford, England, with degree of Litt. D. The president of Iota Chapter, C. A. Robbins, opened the program in the university chapel at 8 o'clock. R. A. Thornton, barlton, sang Cadman's "The mood drops low," and Edwin Johnson of Alpha Chapter, professor of English in the Newbern, N C., high school introduced the speaker. Mr. Johnson called attention of the students to the value of Oriental languages as a medium for the study of our race group. Dr. Locke said that discussing the subject with trepidation not being an authority nevertheless he recognized the need of authorities in this archeological and enthological field, and hoped for scholars from our race group, broad and scientific, who will aid science in its exploitation of Africa. Continuing, he said in part Africa'a Possibilities. "Specialists admit Africa's possibilities. Africa cannot be justly interpreted in the light of present European standards of civilization but by an evolutionary standard such as now pervades study. The problem is to find the origins of society and civilization and it involves the study of primitive peoples, history and prehistoric data. Recent turnings to Africa offers competent scholarship and promising traits. "In our good and deserving mother country we have few rescuers Negro scholars. We have plenty missionaries, but only one man, Mr. Ellis, has made a definite contribution to African research science. African scholars are but little better. About two have written standard treatises. There are many volumes on African archeology and ethnology. We are a group, have made the least scientific contribution, but it cannot always be so. "The Carter expedition has received undue publicity when we compare the scientific value of its findings with that of other scientific expeditions. The project is not racial, it is science's problem, and science knows no race. The major evidence of African civilization is to be treated by the principles of social evolution and still must be archeological. It is fortunate that Europe has not exploited all or most of the material for study in Africa. The Europeans are to be commended for what they have done in the way of discovery and interpretation. But we as a group owe something, we should not go in to exploit a sentimental interest, we have something to give to science. Research by Africans. What African research needs is research by African blooded people Europeans admit the lack of a physicological entree to interpret the findings in Egypt and larger Africa Here is the need and opportunity for the peculiar thought of the African murd "The mass of the data for study exceeds the amount of work to be done on it. The fault of the German scholars lies in that they influence others away from the real truth in the data The more facts we have accumulated the more controversy has developed There are countless theories but hardly any of them agree The authorities want trained African minds to study the physiology of the African peoples and interpret the data more vitally Following Dr Locke's address "Souvenis" (Drida) was rendered on violin by Watson Lowler The following honorary members were given the oath in the Iota Chapterter R F Wimberly Ph C G S Perry, M D Rev P R Deherty and James Taylor of Kaleigh Dr Cordington of Dunn, and Dr M King of Franklinton Rest Room for Colored Women in Atlanta Store (Special to The New York Age) Atlanta, Ga.

P, Put nam’s Sons. The publishers’ announcement recalls the fact that in’ 1914 the auther o: jthis book ted an orderly group of jobless men inta a New York church to demant work. For this he served a year in the pent tentlary, Later: he was graduated fror Columbia University with the highest hon ore in economics and history and is todsy acknowledged as an eminent sociologist, ‘With this mental equipment and the de tached attitude of an impartial observer, Mr, Tannenbaum has made an analyals of South- 4cn conditions, based upon personal inves- tigation, Nis conclusions are full of infor- mation and revelation, eo far as the whites ‘of the South are concerned, He was explor- ed thelr weaknesses and their elements of strength, their attitude toward the Negro and the reasons that account for it. But the Negro’s aide of the casa remains a sealed book, 40 far as Mr. Tannenbaum is concern ed, and the reason, a9 given in the author's words, is the Negro ia different because the Negro does different things, _ Notwithatanding this failure of the author to penetrate beyond the veil of racial separa- tion, Mr. Tannenbdaum’s work is well worth study aa a clear and convincing exposition of certain evils that beset the South. These evils ate treated in the chapters on the Ku Klux Klan and its social origin, the virtual peonage of the white mill workers who are segregated in the villages owned by the manufacturers, the cruelty and brutality in- trenched in Southern prisons and convict camps, and the economic evils:due to the sins gle crop system, especially the cotton crop.

Howaver, as the time draws nearer for the halding of the general con- forences, it is well to emphasise anew cer- taln features of ahie task, .- The siete charged with the responii- bility of filling vacancies in the bishopric whould dear in mind that only the atrongest and highest types of men. should be placed in that position, Besides being of proved charscter and possessing the nécessary ex- perlence.in the church and in contact with the world at large, they should also have the requisite breadth of thought and tolér- ‘ance of temperramont to adapt themselves to religious progress in its various phases. The' right men as bishops should be able to replace the antiquated style of worship that has ceased to hold the masses of the ace and to adopt such progressive service in the church, as would render it a living force in each community. Not only the: bishopric itself but the ministry must be brought up to this level of progressive ser- vice, which would teach its membership’ how to live as well as how to die, Thought must be given to attracting the youth of both sexes by the addition to the chureh work of facihtes for proper diver. tion and relaxation. The church must no longer be regarded as merely @ place for formal service at atated intervals, (t must be kept open as a community centre for the spreading of the influence that tends to up. right living. A new type of bishop, with a ministry rained to serve the community in all good works, is the need of the times. » THE SPINGARN MEDAL. he Spingarn medal is awarded annual the most distinguished achievement du the preceding year by an ‘American | can descent.

Services are being held through this week. All are invited. First Emmanuel Church At the eleven o'clock services Sunday morning a very impressive sermon was preached by the pastor, Rev. Bolden. His text was: "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds." 2 Corinthians, 10-4. Dr. Bolden's talk was from the first part of the warfare. "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal" The theme was "A divine personality changes the world order." The Apostle Paul, who spoke the above text, knew what he was talking about when he said, "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal." He had been a very cruel man, in fact he was even a slayer of the Christian people. Yet God, who ruleth man's mind, changed Paul. And thereafter Paul always claimed that he was appointed of God as His Apostle. It is a very difficult thing to change a prejudiced mind. This is what Paul was up against. He had done so many wicked things that the people doubted his sincerity now. They knew he killed the Christians, so how could they believe that he was in earnest when he said that he had come to help them. Yet Paul was not ashamed of his calling He had God for his guide, and, he was willing to be put to the test, to prove that he was a friend of God's and God's people. Yet this thing did not only happen in the days of Paul. It is going on each and every day. It takes quite a while for people to really trust and have faith in a changed person, a reformed man or woman. People are so apt to throw in your face what you have been, not what you are trying to be. Yet there is a true saying that "God makes the very wrath of men to praise Him." What we should seek for is an enriched personality, that quality in a person which makes him an exception. Also seek a personality rich in the thoughts and experiences with God. Paul could not in the beginning boast of his experiences with God, as he had beenighting God, but he had faith and belief in God after he was changed, and he was willing to physically die, if needs be, working for Him. He did not need a sword to conquer the people of Corinth he did not need an army. He had a weapon far greater than either of these. It was trayer. One writer has it. The motion of a golden fire That trembles in the breast Paul knew that Jesus's greatest help was the prayers He made to His Heavenly Father. He also knew the power of prayer upon people. He had had a little experience along this time. He also knew that there was another weapon which would help him in his work and that was faith. Faith in God faith in the people and the biggest of all, he must have faith in himself. He knew someway or other that like attracts like. A gamier attracts a gambier, a wicked person attracts a wicked person. A Christ an attracts a Christian. Paul also spoke about casting down imaginations and ever hung thigh that exalted itself against the knowledge of God. In the first part, Paul speaks about strongholds. These are the false and erroneous things which have a grasp upon us. Paul said that weapons of prayer and faith were mighty through God; the pulling down of these imaginations was erroneous things; Jesus contradicted the laws of grazing when he said And I if I fitted up with a wizard and men unto me, then Paul gave great inspiration to the people of today; they would not think they had to kill someone; ga a point. Later, Paul might shadethat the wraps of the warriors are not unmighty through God; the pulling down of the wraps of the believers teaches and educates In Sina Shilah was gone after Loua hour in Sina Shilah. The erary Society convened at 4 at 8 p.m. in the service was also attended. Pastor Bidens trey was casting down imagery and cries high thing that exalted me again the knowledge.

Church. Sunday, March 23, marked the end of the conference year at Newman Memorial M. E. Church, and three services were held during the day. The pastor, Rev Thomas W.

At the evening service, the text came from Phillipsburg 3 1, 'Finally my brethren, rejoice in the Lord.' The sermon was largely a summary of the year's work, showing that Newman Church was in a more prosperous and healthy condition than ever before.

He sailed the next day for England to begin 2 six months’ concert tour of the British Isles and most of the European countries, the first recital being the Queen's Hall affair, The following 18 the account af this recital sent to the “Chris- tian Science Momitor” by sts London reviewer, “M. M.S” ROLAND HAYES IN RECITAL AT QUEEN’S HALL, LONDON Special frem Bontor Huron, , Luuaun, March 7—Step by step Roland Hayes emerges from the ruck of the many geud into the rattle of the few outstandingly fine artists. His recital at Queen's Hall on February 20 was the biggest thing he has done here so far. With Sir Henry Wood and the New Queen's Hall Orchestra to accompany him, Ins pure tenor voice and refined methods held their owp as easily in the large spaces as at former times in emailer hails. The nngung enthusiasm of the audience showed their opinion, and only great determoation on his part kept the encores down to-four He began by singing “Endure, Endure,” from the “St Matthew Fassion” (Bach), “Thy hand, Belinda,” from “Dido and 7Eneas” (Purcell), and “Un’ aura amorosa,” from “Cosi fan Tutu” (Mozart). Rather surprisingly he did the Bach in French, a new experience but interesting. With all rough edges banished from the words, Bach's phrases flowed like Liquid silver; for Roland Hayes has a breath control and production that are analogous to the effort: tess phrasmg of a viohmst If one grants that it is permissible for a man to sing this Purcell “air,” then one has nothing but admiration for the pathos and Beauty of Roland Hayes’ regdering. But 1s st perrmssible to wrest a soprano solo into the tenor remster? Purcell was always very careful over vocal color. _ In the Iittle known “Repos de Ja Sainte Famille,” by Berlioz, Roland Hayes ghowted himself a master of what one may call the Fra Angelico mood. The thrée Shakespeare songs by Roger Quilter thgt followed are charming at all tumes, and tHe resonance Roland Hayes got into bis voice in “Blow, blow, thou winter wind,” was 2 well calculated contrast to the mezzo voce of the Berlior. But his Shakespeare readings, as well as his Mozart, had an underlying vein of sadness, like Jessica in “The Merchant of Venice.” he 1s “ne'er merry” when he hears sweet music. Though of different races, he and she both belong to people's who have been oppressed Was his wustfulness the emergence of some imstinctive memory? ‘The group of Negro Spiritual that closed the concert seemed an affirmative answer “Bear de Burden,” “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” and “Bye and Bye. were almost too tenderly poignant to talk about—even though one wants to testify how well Roland Hayes sang them MMS | MUSIC NOTES | ST.

O. Gourdin. Of these two athletes Murchison had the following to say: "In the Mid-West there is a jumper who burns the name of DeHart Hubbard. This hulky athlete sprang out of nowhere to become one of the greatest jumper we have ever seen. Hubbard, I think, is the only living jumper who has sailed more than twenty-five feet three times in his life. One other man has a record of twenty-five feet to his credit, but this was done just once. In other words Hubbard is the most consistent great jumper of them all." "Right along with the University of Michigan star comes the world's record holder for the event—Ned Gourdin, the great Harvard athlete of two years ago Gourdin who has the record of 25 feet 3 inches to his credit, which is the greatest jump ever made by a civilized jumper, will come out for the team. When in his prime Gourdin was a great all-round athlete, going in for all sports. If he makes the team it will carry two members of the Negro race as our best broad jumpers."

C. Although well past the quarter century mark in age, all of which time it has been under the direction of Professor J. Henry Lewis, it seems to possess an attribute of Tennyson's Brook, that of on forever. The organisation has appeared before the most distinguished audiences possible to assemble in this country, of both races, and its success has always been pronounced. I have a personal gratification in the record made by the Amphilons, for more than twenty years ago, while sojourning temporarily in the Nation's Capital, it was my pleasurable duty to serve Prof. Lew and the Amphilons as accompaniist, and I have always held flaming recollections of that season of service. The most recent reports show that the Amphilips are continuing consistently to give pleasing and entertaining service. The club appeared on Sunday evening, March 16, at Lincoln Temple, Washington, with Miss Maude Smothers and Stanley Brooks as soloists. Radical changes in the membership have been made by Director Lewis, making for great improvement in tonal quality and interpretation. Another service of song will be given on Palm Sunday, April 13, at the Metropolitan A M. E. Church at 4.30 o'clock. . Harrod Jubilee Singers The Archie Harrod Jubilee Concert Party, with Archie Harrod, tenor, manager and director, were in New York last week, having motored down from headquarters, I Wellington street, Boston, enroute to Richmond, Va. where Mr Harrod hopes to recruit his company with additional talent. Enroute the company stopped in New Haven and sang on Thursday night to the deletation and pleasure of a large group at the Rev Dr Pharr's church. Demands upon the Singers by Chautauqua, vaudville and church organizations prevent often appearances before audiences of the race. The group this season is made up of Ruth Mayo, soprano; Mathilde Walton, contralto; John Woodard, basso, Geo. Banks, banjo-violist, and Mr Harrod, tenor Recitals at Rust College The music department of Rust College, Holly Springs, Mass., is under supervision of J DeKoven Killingsworth.

PULLMAN PORTER NEWS BY JAMES H. HOGANE Commenting on an editorial of the Pittsburgh Courier, concerning the possible unionization of the Pullman porters, The Age said last week: "The question remains, will the union rules affect the matter of tips?" This is a very pertinent question and we are going to attempt to answer it. Ever since the idea of unionizing has been dinned in their cars, the question of tips has been the one thing upon which the porters have, had most disagreement whenever the matter of their forming a union has been discussed among them. As a matter of fact, the tip has been one of the cardinal reasons for their lack of unity on any particular program in which numbers are of advantage. This may seem to be a statement made without much consideration and we know all our friends are not going to agree with us but let us see if it is so superficial after all Let us begin by taking the work of a Pullman porter. Some have designated the duties he performs as a vocation, not a few have dignified it by calling it a profession. Nevertheless, no matter what we style it, the occupation calls for much service of a purely personal nature, and we all know that wherever services of this description are rendered tips are tendered. The tip demoralizes the receiver for it takes his interest and concern off his wages. Those classes of workmen who have been effective in unisonizing are men who depend entirely on a straight salary. One might perhaps ask, "Why don't the porters organize and be satisfied with a straight basis of pay?" But would they? Personally we don't think so. While the new or recruit porter and the proud porter might be quite content to be placed on a straight salary, we doubt if the rank and file would prefer that. For instance, the company would never pay a regular salary as high as what is being earned in tips by porter on the preferential runs. Some might argue that if unarmed they could force the company to pay them as much as they are now earning in tips. To point out the ridiculousness of this statement we have only to call attention to the situation of the trainee. They certainly do not get munificent wages, and they are very highly organized. We dare say the average porter wouldn't exchange compensation at the end of the mouth. The conference which is to be held in Chicago is not to unionize the porters, but to correct and amend their working conditions. There is at present in operation between the Pullman Company and its porters and maids a plan for the adjustment of all grievances and working conditions known as the Plan of Industrial Relations, and while there are some features of this industrial instrument which need correction, yet, if the porters would take more interest in it and use the mass influence to correct the bad features, we would be very much better off. Speaking for ourselves, we do wish it were practical and possible for us to unionize, and so far as being members of the American Federation of Labor is concerned we could have been that long ago but we wanted to be classed in the same status as the bartenders waiters, etc. but what advantage would it be to 3 us if we could get no more support in the case of a strike than that which was given these employees when they went on strike several years ago. It is one thing to say "Unionize!" It is another thing to do it. The most difficult thing of all is to know how it is going to affect you after you have done it. Race Rent Gougers. Editor of The New York Age In the issue of your paper of March 1, you told your readers how a race man was charging his people ex- tortionate rents—something like $125 a month for a six-room apartment. It is terrible to think of having to deal with such robbers. But such is the case. Daylight robbers of this makeup are not to be found in New York alone Washington is full of such race confidence destroyers as the gentleman (2) of whom you wrote. The white real estate agents here are gouging enough, but they are angels beside of these Negro agents. For they seem to have taken their people for a Teapot Dome. Be it said to the lasting shame of them that some of these real estate agents and landlords are taking shameful undue advantage of their own people. And then they have the audacity to appeal to their race to rent and bus from them and thus show race loyalty and race pride I do believe in patronizing our race. But if those in business think that colored men and women should patronize them solely because they are of the race, regardless of whether they get the worth of their money, they have another thought coming to them. Refuse to trade with any man, be he black or white, who denies you a dollar's worth for a dollar. But no one need expect to get his or her money's worth if they happen to come in contact with these Washington sale and rent gouging Ne- real estate agents We here have what is known as the District Rent Commission. This Commission was created by Congress in order to project the tenants from the shameful prices charged for houses and apartments by these merciless howling wolves. It is not infrequent that one hears men and women of the race talking of having nothing to do with their own real estate agents, because they charge so much for either renting or buying of them Shame! Shame on them! I do not like to tell the world of such dealing by Negroes toward their own race in the National Capital, but I’m telling the truth—the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We are striving to get up in the world, but no set of men need expect to use the poor men and women as stepping stones to reach the top of the ladder and get by without some one calling their hands. But, knowing them as I do, and hearing of them as I have heard, I regret to say that I wouldn’t buy a house from one of these Negro gougers if I had the wealth of J C CUNNINGHAM Washington, D C healing in woo and other treatments demonstrated.

Bethel A. M. E. Church. Sunday, March 23. was an ideal day, and services at Bethel M W Church were largely attended. The pastor, Dr Montrose W Thornton, preached both services in the morning the pastor was best and delivered a powerful airmon In the evening he spoke from Exodus 14th chapter and 15th verse, subject, "By way of the Sea." In the course of his remarks he said the first thing to be determined by the one who faces the difficulties of the way is whether or not he is on the path God has marked out for him. Difficulties are for two purposes, to the man on the wrong path they come as monitors to turn him back, but to the man who will follow him, to the man who endures his faith and deepen his appreciation of God. The position of a man should be determined by his attitude toward his trials. It matters not what men may think or say, it is possible for every believer to have definite positive guidance of God for every step on the way of the will. Israel was where God led her, there was no possibility of a mistake, for the pillar of cloud and fire had been her guide. Her path was hidden in the before of her life, as clear to the eye of faith, as when enclosed by mighty walls of water God is most willing to listen to the cry of His Children when it is, the proper thing to cry unto Him, but there are times when it is far better to do something than to set whimpering. The man who plants his corn and then cries to God when the weeds begin to choke out the tender plants, had better get out his cultivator and plow them in the ground, would get out the weeds in the other who needs most of her time in attending unnecessary social events and then asks food to bless her children and keep them unspotted from the world will get better results and get them more quickly, if she does a little less foolish crying and a little more sensible living.

Dr Henry Hugh Proctor filled his pulpit at both services Sunday, speaking at the morning life on the prayer life of the Master, which, he held, undergirded all His work. His success in praying was due to the fact that He had a praying character. At the evening time he spoke on the call of God to man, emphasizing the divine call to all for pardon, peace and power. Responding to the appeal of Miss J. O Foster, a contribution of $25 was given for the school of Miss Lacey Laney at Augusta, Ga.

Fleet St. A.M.E.Z. Church An extraordinary congregation was present Sunday. It was an ideal day, no reasonable excuse for staying away. Then too, the second of the series of sermons was to be heard "Shifting Responsibilities." There were few present that didn't feel the might of the theme as described by the pastor. Since the days of Adam and Eve in the garden human beings have sought to shift responsibilities. It was a wonderful discourse full of present day life with its abundance of excuses. One could scarcely help feeling a degree of guilt when he or she had failed to bear equal part of the burdens presenting themselves in one's life. These sermons are adestined to do more good than the pastor dreamed of when he announced them.
