Incendiary Fires in Harlem Bring Death to Four Persons In Early Morning Conflagrations
Robert Holmes, 41, and Two Daughters, 10 and 8, Trapped in Top Floor of 12 West 134th Street and Die—In Another Fire at 109, Same Street, Unidentified Woman Is Found Dead.
Harlem was again thrown into a state of wild excitement early Tuesday morning when a series of incendiary fires on 133rd and 184th streets caused the death of four people and the injury of a score of others. Three died at 12 West 134th street and one at 109 West 134th street.
About 1:30 a.m. the Metropolis Storage Warehouse of 50 West 133rd street caught fire from an unknown origin and while the firemen were fighting to save building three other fires in the immediate vicinity broke out. Each of the fires began under the stairway on the first floor and rapidly spread over the entire building.
Despite the tongues of flame, firemen were at every window and effected some thrilling rescues. But when the fire was gotten under control, the body of an unidentified woman, about thirty years of age, was found in one of the apartments.

Before the early editions of the Sunday morning papers, the story reached Harlem. The Age had printed LEAS telling of the murder, and thousands of copies disposed of on the streets and by the Harlem news.

nace. Despite the tongues of flame, firemen were at every window and effected some thrilling rescues. But when the fire was gotten under control, the body of an unidentified woman, about thirty years of age, was found in one of the apartments. Politicien from the 38th Precinct did heroic work assisting in the rescues, and Patrolman Henry Kehr and William Smith were sent to their homes after being treated by Dr. Lepore of Harlem Hospital for laceration of the right foot and over the right eye.
The Fire Marshal was notified of the suspicious aspect of the series of fires and an investigation is now being made.

FIRST MURDER VICTIM OF HARLEM GUNMAN A WORKER, SAYS WIDOW
Man Killed By "Charleston"
Was Wm. Harris, a Longshoreman, and Not "John Parker, a Gambler."
IN CRAP ROOM WITH FRIEND FOR FIRST TIME, IS TESTIMONY
Was an Overseas Veteran, With Good Record—Served With 372nd Infantry—
William Harris, a longshoreman, living with his wife, Lillian, in a furnished room at 116 West 134th street, was the first victim of the murderous frenzy of William Miller, alias "Yellow Charleston," the keeper of a gambling dive at 129 West 134th street, who afterwards shot to death Barron D Wilkins of the Barron's Exclusive Club, Inc., 194 West 134th street.
Newspaper reports have classed Harris as being a gambler, and habit of "Charleston's" gambling room, and all name was given in all of the stories as "John Parker."
Investigation by the Age has disclosed that Harris was a hard-working long-shorman, working every night and sleeping through the day. He was at home asleep on Saturday afternoon when a man, not known to Mrs Harris, came to 116 and called Harris out. The two men went to the crap game at 129, where the killing occurred. The man who was with Harris, from what can be learned, lost his money, and asked a loan of 50 cents from Harris.
The latter was unwilling to let him have more than a quarter, and the row started, which led up to the murder of Harris by the proprietor, Miller.
Was Overseas Veteran.
Information gathered by The Age disclosed that Harris was a war veteran, having served overseas with the 322nd Infantry from Camp Devers Mass. He was born in Savannah Ga. 31 years ago, but had come North and lived for several years in Springfield, Mass. He came to New York two years ago and has been working steadily as a long shoreman ever since.
According to a statement made to The Age by his wife he had never frequented gambling rooms or hooch parlor and went to Charleston's place on Saturday for the first time with the man who came to his room.
This is home out by the fact that none of the frequenters of the place knew him or could identify him. Mrs Harris thought her husband had gone on to work, after he did not return Saturday night and on Sunday had worked dinner and was waiting for him to come in when about 4 p.m. the man who called him out came in and told Mrs Harris of her husband's death. She was proprated by the news but recovered and went to the morgue where she identified the body and had it removed to the funeral parlor of C. Frank in Carr.
Harris had an excellent war record and was in the front leagues from June 6, 1918 to the signing of the Armistice. Medical services will be held by the 96th Infantry with a detail from Lt.under command of Louis P. Lorch and Joseph Smith on Tuesday evening May 27 in a undertaking parlor.

For several weeks the prohibition enforcement agents, Federal and local, have given particular attention to the hooch hounds who are conducting openly and brazenly their nefarious and illegal traffic in liquor in various localities in Harlem.
On Tuesday, May 27. Judge Hand, in the Federal District Court, signed a decree which will put at leave a partial stop to the operations of Connie's Inn conducted by Connie Immerman at 2217 Seventh avenue in the Lafayette building at corner 131st street.
On application of Lyman Ward, Assistant United States Attorney, from U.S. Attorney Hayward's office, Judge Hand issued an injunction restraining the Berson Amusement Corporation, John Scalberg and Walter-Scott from "selling liquor on said premises or any-

As a result of the actions of the boottlegging farms have been issued under Federal Court jurisdiction which enabled the United States Marshal under jurisdiction from United States Attorney Haward pardon the places for periods varying from two months to a year. These pardons are supposed to embrace such a boottlegging and comprehensive powers as to present the premises affected from being available for use of any way during the period covered by the order.
As a result of the situation to reassemble however, that the boottlegging farms while unable to stop the pardon process have in some way been able to render it effective that part of the law which would make the pardon process without in no value during the time the pardons are to have been with regard to some of the premises far as present observers in the farms are aware, the pardon process is required by boottlegers as well as which were closed and pardoned by Federal Court officers and which were closed and pardoned by the bureaucracy in the process of the pardon process for what appears to be pending in the courts and the courts are ordered to sent grants to the courts later in reading.

The injunction is permanent against the corporation and individuals named, regardless of the outcome of closing and padlocking proceedings which are pending against Connie's Inn, said Mr Ward. This action is characterized by Mr Ward as a "bottleger injunction," the federal prosecutor explaining that it was a "strictly personal" court order restraining individuals, without regard to any specific premises, from violating the Volstead Act.

William Miller, Alias "Yellow Charleston," Alleged Liquor Addict, Drug Fiend and Gambler, Shoots to Death, on Seventh Avenue Corner, Barron D. Wilkins, Widely Known and Well-To-Do Sportsman and Business Man and Former Saloonman.
It is doubted that Harlem was ever stirred as on Saturday evening, just a few minutes before 7 o'clock, when four pistol shots rang out at the corner of 134th street and Seventh avenue—the shots carrying quick and sudden death to Barron D. Wilkins, proprietor of the Exclusive Club, Inc., of 194 West 134th street
seen in the fact that when a hooch joint is closed up one place its operator apt to open at another place within a very few days. And it is not often that the hooch plugger gets far away from the original site. In more than one instance it is alleged hooch joints have been closed by the revenue agents and the operator has simply moved to the rear of the same building with entrance on another street and continued without the feast but of letup his defiance of the Volstead Law enforcement forces.
In less time than it takes to write the words, every avenue and cross street in the community was ringing with the news BARRON WILKINS IS SHOT AND KILLED!
In a few cases the closing orders have seemed to be effective. At 2234 Fifth Avenue long accepted as a saloon by a powerful political leader said to have been the Democrat a captain in his district and where since the Volstead Act became law the same man has continued to sell beer with almost all impulses to the Prohibition days an up-to-date market is now being conducted. The session was pallied for a period of two months under an agreement issued by the Judge Kinox on February 28, and although it was not immediately closed down the headlegging owner evidently heard the law hanging on the wall and detained to leave to the inevitable. If any injury is being sold in the place now there is no evidence of it.
Thousands there were who heard the words but who refused to give credence to the story. It just seemed absolutely beyond comprehension.
For many years Barron Wilkins had been one of the best known men in New York City. And for most of these years he had lived and conducted business in Harlem. Prior to the passage of the Volstead Law, Barron's Cafe at 134th street and Seventh avenue was one of the most popular resorts in Harlem. But even earlier than that, some twenty-five years ago, he conducted the Little Savoy, a saloon in West 35th street, frequented by all the leading members of the sporting fraternity, and by many of the best known professionals of both races.

But the premises did not stay and
were only two months later.
We were very sorry.
Following the enactment of the 18th Amendment, Mr. Walkins discontinued the saloon, but continued the operation of the cabaret, which he later incorporated as Barrons Exclusive Club, Inc. and

“that ensued, “Charleston shot and-tiled Harris, Then, reslizing
viwhdt he had done the murderer left the place, made his way to the
roof, and went across roofs to 119 West 134th street, where he
descended. .
From this point, “Charleston” went to the corner of Seventh
avenue, where He met Wilkins, Briefly acquainting the latter with

Newark. N. J.
Newark, N. J.—The Memorial Day service under the auspices of the Brotherhood of the 12th Presbyterian Church was the first service of the kind the organization has held and it proved to be quite a satisfactory venture. The Brotherhood called the call magnanimously, fifty or sixty men, and they were several men who had served in the Civil War and the late World War. Each made very picturequease gathering. Some made very picturesque gatherings in the button hole of his coast; a red flower if he had, a relative who had served the country and still lives, and a white flower if he had, a relative who had served the war. Dr. Ellerson, the pastor, preached a special sermon for the occasion from the theme: "Memorial Day Thoughts", with several patriotic selections, closing with the Battle Hymn of the Republic. The Rev. E. W. Cobeth, pastor of the church, in Palmfield in connection with their 12th service, at a meeting of the Brotherhood held after morning service, more than $400 was collected towards the work of rebuilding the mer he had decided to make on the roof.

Once my hair was anything but long and silky 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 myellow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin bleimishes, 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

N. C. Mutual Life Insurance Agents Hold Big Meetings In Balto and Washington
The general agents, district managers, agents and office forces of the Baltimore and Washington districts of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co held a most successful meeting in the above named cities May 20 and 21. The business of life insurance and its problems were carefully discussed and methods to bring before our group the necessity for adequate life insurance were also considered.
This company is the only $2,000,000 successful concern conducted by and for Negroes and the only mutual life insurance company of any size, colored or white, organized in the state of North Carolina. This was positively attested to us a recent convention examination of this company by the Insurance Departments of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The examiners stated that the assets $2,000,000) were found intact and invested in government, state, county and municipal bonds, bank and utilities stock. Every cent was in its place and the books and records of the company were very accurately kept
It was shown at this meeting that, notwithstanding the general spread and knowledge of modern sanitary living conditions, the mortality of our group is still too high although greatly reduced in the past few years. Double effort is now being made by the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co. to bring to the attention of our people the necessity for sanitation, good morals and clean living, in order that their span of life may increase
Instructive addresses were made by the president of the company, C C Spaulding, M A Gons, manager of the Ordinary Department W D Hall agency director, and general agents / P Moore and Emmett Coleman of Washington and Baltimore respectively C C Thorne special agent, and D C
Dean, state agent of Virginia. Addresses were also made by Dr. William E. Lewis, Dr. M. T. Walker, B. E. Williams, J. J. Quarles, A. S. Taylor and T. M. Hunt.
The meeting was concluded, with a smoker at the offices of the company in Washington at which the folding visitors were present: Dr. Emmett J. Scott, C. C. Spaulding, P. B. Bond State Agent of the Standard Life Insurance Co. M. A. Goins, D. C. Dean, W. D. Hill and the agents from both Baltimore and Washington.
VOORHEES COLLEGE ENDS BEST YEAR IN 27 YEARS' HISTORY
Denmark, S C.-The Voorhees Normal and Industrial School was founded by Elizabeth Wright on April 14, 1897, and opened in an old dilapidated residence with 14 students. The enrollment for 1924 was 794. The school owns 400 acres of land and 18 buildings. The farm has 7 mules and 4 horses, a nice herd of cattle and a larger drove of hogs. These are all fancy breeds, and a veterinary surgeon is in charge. Elizabeth Evelyn Wright died several years ago, and Martin A. Menafee was made manager
But this great school is not the product of the effort of Negroes alone. White people had something to do with it. S. G. Mayfield, an eminent lawyer of Bamberg county, furnished the legal advice. Ralph Voorhees, a wealthy man of Clinton, N J., furnished the bulk of the money, Mrs. Kennley of Denmark, S. C., and Mrs. A S Steele of Chattanooga, Temn, furished the moral support of the project. Mrs. Kennley is the mother-in-law of Lawyer Mayfield, and in appreciation they have named one of the main buildings "Kennery Hall."
The commencement just closed was the best in the history of the school. There were 15 young people to graduate. Every one took a trade of some kind. On Sunday the sermon to the graduating class was preached by Dr York Jones of Charlotte, N C, on Wednesday the commencement address was delivered by Dr Cyrus G, Wiley, president of the Georgia State College for Negroes. Representative men who made short addresses were Rev J M Miller, Rev E W Graham, Rev C R Brown, President R Shaw Wilkinson, Henry Pearson, Dr C A Eigner and N L Brayboy J E Blanton is the principal of Voorhees College. One incident of interest should be mentioned in this connection. A boy graduated by the name of C Orlando McIntosh, and the Rev O. J. Frier, pas-

Our Choice For Governor

EVASION BY COMMISSION.
EVASION BY COMMISSION. According to a Washington news dispatch, published last week, the scheme to create commissions as a palliative for the economic and social conditions affecting the Negroes in this country, is still regarded as a feasible means of shunting the responsibility for any positive action. The article read.
According to a Washington news dispatch, published last week, the scheme to create commissions as a palliative for the economic and social conditions affecting the Negroes in this country, is still regarded as a feasible means of shunting the responsibility for any positive action. The article read.
A resolution to create a Negro industrial commission of five members at least three to be Negroes, was reported to-day by the House Judicial Committee. It is in time with a recommendation in President Coddridge's message to Congress. The commission would work out plans for solving the problem confronting the Negro race.
Apart from the providing of three so-called at government expense for three members of the race, the part that such commission would play in solving industrial conditions would be absolutely minor. All the information that such commission could possibly gather is already in the possession of the Department of Labor or some other department and at the command of Congress if desired for legislative action. Anyhow industrial conditions can be changed only indirectly by legislation. The action of economic laws has more to do with changing industrial conditions than any act of Congress. This was shown in the course of the present migration of Negroes from the South. The industrial future of the race depends largely upon its ability to measure up to the standard of efficiency demanded by Northern industry and gaining entrance into the ranks of union labor. Legislation has affected these conditions to the extent of restricting the supply of foreign labor, but that was done without intending to benefit the Negro.
The excuse for the appointment of commissions on special subject is usually to secure information on which Congress may base necessary corrective legislation. But Congress has acquired a mass of information on the Negro question since Reconstruction which must fill many archives, but it has steadily refused to enact needed legislation. Even the laws that would have made the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments living parts of the Constitution were not enacted by Congress. The appointment of a commission is therefore only to be regarded as a further evasion of the question. Congress would feel that any necessity for positive action was further postponed. Three eminent members of the coined race would gather with two whites around a table and agree upon some indefinite proposal that would no more affect industrial conditions than the would the procession of the masses.
The trouble is that there is too much position within Congress without regard to the Negro race in need of all legislation. This is wrong at the Negro needs equal rights under the same laws as the rest of the community. Even the antichrist will be designed to protect the white people merely the blacks. He has turned the majority of the time the landers. It is the white community that is and the individuals who oppose it are the great sufferers from the Negroes. They engender a hardened and united them and their protest of Negro unness abated by some temeral measure.
Congress should not evade commission and enforce the Constitution with all its amendments. Let us use the federal power to stamp out anything and Ku Klux Klan instead pressing with wards a session of negroes as are using its commission. Let us the departent legislature at threaten the Negro race.

NO HANDPICKED CANDIDATE

One of the writers. New York evening. The last were centred the prediction that the coming chairman the National Republican Committee would esax to play the role of the late Mark Han
na, in picking out a suitable candidate for the Republican voters of New York State to support for Governor. This is not an suspicious time to repeat the experiment of administration dictation in the choice of local candidates, especially in a state like New York, where the independent voter resents any appearance of dictation from inside or outside influences. The paucity of responsible leadership on the part of the state organization may invite such interference, but the resentment it would provoke among the voters would result in disaster.
In the present chaotic condition of Republicanism throughout the country. President Coolidge is concededly the strongest asset the party can boast, hence his overwhelming strength among the delegates who will nominate the next candidate for President And yet the inability of the President to command the support of a Republican Congress for administration measures betrays many elements of weakness The Republican administration ushered in by the election of President Harding has failed lamentably in keeping its pledges to correct the errors of the Democrats in dealing with domestic and foreign affairs Race prejudice and color discrimination on the part of Democratic holdovers still permeate the government service at Washington and in the domination of Haitian affairs.
In view of this weakness inherited by the Coolidge administration, it is not unnatural tha his political manager should feel anxious as to the choice of a gubernatorial candidate who can carry New York and incidentally help place its electoral votes in the Republican column. But outside interference in the picking of a candidate will not bring about such a result. The next candidate for Governor must be a man whose record and character will appeal to the voters on his own account. The Negro voters must be reckoned with in choosing this candidate. He must be known as one who stands for a square deal and recognition of all the elements that make up our citizenship, without regard to creed or color
One of the factors that helped defeat the last Republican candidate for governor was his indifference and neglect to recognize Negro Republicans as eligible for party honors and political preferment. He seemed to think that the only role open for this class of voters was to liken to his speeches and vote for him at the polls. As a contrast to this the present Democratic State Administration recently appointed on the staff of the State Attorney General as special assistant a well known Negro lawyer of this city. Our Republican friends may exclaim that this is only Democratic politics. We all know that but it is likewise the kind of politics that makes votes. The Republican party of New York State should play that kind of politics if it desires to retain the Negro vote as an element of party strength. As for the national administration and its political manager they will find ample occasion for squaring the party record in foreign and domestic affairs with its neglected promises without trying to pick a governor for New York voters.
The voters of New York State both black and white can be relied upon to vote for the candidate that comes nearest to meeting the requirements for a square deal
EIGHT NEW BISHOPS
The month of May will be memorable in religious circles in the holding of the quadrennial conferences of Methodists. Two of these general conferences resulted in the addition of eight new bishops to the ecclesiastical ranks of African Methodism. Three of these are to be credited to the African Methodist Episcopal Church namely Dr. Reyersdorff Bansom of New Jersey formerly pastor of Bethel Church New York City and later editor of the Church Reverend the Re. A. L. James of Baltimore and the Re. A. L. James of Wilberforce University. The Zion connection elected five bishops as follows: Dr. C. W. Wiley editor of the Zion quarterly Review the Rev. W. I. Wails editor of the Star of Zion the Rev. R. B. Hawk the Rev. E. D. W. Jones of Washington and the Rev. I. W. Martin former president of Akinsan College and recently educator secretary for the church.
This is especially the year for the re-
ligious education and education to forge in the
treat as three of the new shops come direct
from the edithorship the church pub-
leas as white to have seen the cause
of education. The selections as a whole are
to be commended from the point of char-
acter care and training. The injection
of new material of such calibre in the her-
b of bishops of these two examinations
should have the effect of leavening the senti-
ment of the majority along more liberal
copal shortcomings during the next quadrenial.
The attitude of the Zion conference seemed to fall short of this broadening out toward new ideas. In fact a retrograde step was indicated in the ban proposed against female members wearing sleeveless dresses and bobbed hair from holding any posts in the church. This narrow view of modern feminine fashions that involve no moral principle would only serve to circumscribe the effectiveness of the church as a teacher of the young.
If the church is to maintain its mission as a vital factor in the elevation of humanity, it must not raise needless restrictions in fields outside of the lines of moral living. The laity and the ministry should be brought closer together in the devising of means for making religion an active force in better living
EVIL OF "NUMBERS" GAMBLING. The reason why The Age has exposed the new gambling game based on the "Clearing House numbers." as published in the financial columns of the daily papers. is because of the widespread harm being done by this form of gambling, especially among those people who can least afford it. The number of victims of this craze to get rich quick is steadily growing and the suffering entailed by diverting their earnings to the pockets of the backers of the game is not the least of its evil results.
While many of those familiar with this craze consider it as a passing phase of the gambling instinct inherent to human nature and think any effort to eradicate it useless, it seems to be the duty of those who have the good of the community at heart, to endeavor to abate the evil and if possible put an end to the practice. The old game of policy had an equally strong hold on its patrons but persistent effort and the action of the authorities put its backers out of business while sending its most conspicuous figure to the penitentiary.
If the deluded people who continually risk their earnings on the hope of gaining quick riches by selecting the winning numbers, were to keep an accurate account of their losses and gains they would soon be convinced that they cannot beat the game. The small winnings of one day's lucky number are soon swallowed up by the amounts staked without results other than to swell the gains of the backers and the commissions of the runners.
Then the virus of gambling itself once permitted unlimited sway, soon unfits the subject for any useful or concentrated effort in more legitimate directions. The mental effort the time and the money devoted to the game of numbers is given to some legitimate line of business enterprise would bring better returns in money as well as helping to build up the race interests in the community. That is the principal reason why The Age has given so much space and attention to denouncing this evil and invoked the efforts of the authorities to stop it.
It's a law of the gambling game that the odds are always against the player. Even the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo got broke himself when he went bank and staked his winnings on another turn of the cards.
The only way to win at this game is to put it at once and devise the time and energy wasted in it to equal effort. Some legitimate industries or business enterprises
HONORS FOR CATHOLICS
The recent elevation of the Rev Thomas M. O'Keefe pastor of the Church of St. Benedict the Moor to the rank of monsignor in the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church recalls the fact that this parish of the only one in the diocese of New York that has enjoyed the usual honor of having two to its priests raised to this rank. The other one honored was the Rev John I. Burke who was its first pastor and who for many years has been in charge of the missionary work of the Catholic Church among the colored people in this country. Father O'Keefe, or as we may all speak of him Monsignor O'Keefe, like his predecessor not only has devoted his efforts to the spiritual welfare of the members of his church but has manifested a loyalty in interest in maternal matters like the interests of the entire race community. Since the setting start of St. Benedict is an independent congregation through the efforts of the late Father Burtell and Dr. McDunnan
Both Monsignor Burke and Monsignor O'Keefe have identified themselves with the best interests of the race and have always spoken one unequivocally against all forms of prejudice and proscription. The nature of the ties that bind the present pastor to his flock are indicated by a remark he made on the occasion of his investiture in the robes of his new office. He said:
"I know that a great many people are going to call me Meagnoor, and they are not going to call me Father. But I wish you people, particularly those that know me, to remember this, that in the future I will take it as a special favor from any one of you if when talking about me to other people you can say 'The Meagnoor, as much as you please, but when speaking to myself, call me Father O'Keefe."
The growth that the Catholic Church has attained among the Negroes of New York and throughout the country has been largely due to the broadness and liberality of sentiment displayed by the two priests, who have served as pastors of the pioneer work of that kind. The honors accorded them on the part of the church has been a merited recognition of their efforts

Of the 78,527 closed farmers, 25,192 are owners and 133 managers and the other tenants. There are 4,438,370 acres included in the total number of farms, of which 3,148,038 acres are in cultivation, the balance being timber and pasture lands all valued at $224,804,327.
According to these figures a mere less than one farmer out of every ten in a farm under the majors being remained with a few as managers. In the case of over twenty three thousand farm owners a not to be depicted although it would be more interesting of the House editor had given the relative value of the farms owned by the race
According to the St. Louis Herald the colored people of Rumford are preparing to open a campaign in June to raise one hundred thousand dollars to establish a hospital it said.
The plans for the campaign are very near completed which will be one of the greatest campaigns to be held in the city of Richmond among colored people. Every promise made of woman in the city has promised to hand the Laudable movement.

According to report, Dr. D. C. Suggs, president of Livingstone College, is the richest Negro educator in the world. His property and other holdings in that state and in Washington, D. C. are conservatively valued at $71,285,000.
Millionaire college presidents are rare birds among either white or black educators. If this stem is correct Dr. Suggs is to be congratulated on being an exception to the rule. He will not need to apply to the Carnegie pension fund for retired college professors as the late Woodrow Wilson was said to have done on his retirement from Princeton University.
The ascendance of the Ko Klua Klan in Indiana and the reported nobility of Separat Watson with the imperial wizard moved the Kansas City Call to the following conclusion.
Congress as a whole is deafen. The decline and fall of the Roman empire was first indicated by the devaluation of the Senate. Broader purge on the rogs and less principle in the man marred the Roman senator. And so on today. The tax discussion and legislation has shown our representatives and senators to be a lot of moonebanks, not legislating for the public's good, but deceiving it with cheap devices like one does a child Shame upon men who count their position so little one of trust. Shame upon men who hold their own so cheap Senator Watson striking hands with the Klan. Let Liberty we here test she see her judges clothed in hoods and robes, and her laws made in secret tribunal.
This dissatisfaction with Congress and its methods widespread and not confined to any class of people. It is a sentiment to be taken into account in speculating on future political developments.

FRAT INFLUENCE IN ATHLETICS--IS IT BENEFICIAL OR NOT
Interesting Discussion of Subject Led by Dr. Walter Alexander at C. I. A. A. Meeting at Lynchburg.
BY CHARLES H WILLIAMS
Walter Alexander, A. A.
Handwritten notes and important fraternities in athletics were discussed at the recent session of the College Intercollegiate Athletic Association, was held in Lynchburg as the presentation of the fraternity's speech was by Dr. Walter Alexander graduate manager of Lincoln University and vice president of the I. A. A. some time there have been rumors among the members of the fraternity that the selection of members of various teams, and especially the election of captains and managers has depended on fraternity connections one speaker at the meeting springing an attempt was made to elect a baseball manager, he said that the students representing different fraternities relied on section all night and could not be admitted to a baseball manager.
When I was a student at Lincoln, two years ago most of our activities named "Philippian and Garnett" and "Side of our scholastic work," as these two volunteer student organizations for the choir of being president at commencement time, but this was about as an interest as for whenever there was a choir in one of our schools, as a whole or one apparently ever straight of its connection with these soothes and I am sure that not in my time on the time of and of my acquaintance with these organizations play any part in matters concerning the college as a whole. There has developed in the past few years a wonderful spirit of clamsharness and an open-mindedness in knowledge that in all schools where students must these fraternities induce practically all phases of college life, I preferment for everything except static honors almost entirely fraternity. I preferment to happen that in many instances fitness is an essential condition for preferment in the schools but too often the student possesses in his own fraternity and the fraternity determine the student elevation.

THE material contrast between the structures with which he (Dooker Washington) began and the present great, ample and commonsible plant is sufficiently striking to be enough for one man to bring about. But satisfacory and encouraging as this is, it is but an imperfect measure. Dr. Washington's kindness and amanagement, wisdom and openness and humility out of fear, kindness toward young and women, and warmth and humility in scenes and their families is of course a most commendable and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he did and sought to do. His purpose was to radiate from a center like it juxtagged the right of the adam, but ever strong truth which must be based on the basis of real advance for his face, or for the cause — WILLIAM HOWARD TAPT, Chief Justice United States supreme Court.

To my mind nothing could be more appropriate than the annual sessions of these councils than this very subject of fraternity influence on college activities. It must be that the majority of members of graduate chapters realize the conditions in our schools and that we are in a reasonable that they should willingly take steps to help correct any influences that are evidently peripetrical. My own suggestion would be that all graduate chapters, and make them realize that they should be an important factor in student life and that in all activities, fraternal or otherwise everything must be done for the welfare of the school.
PULLMAN PORTER NEWS
Some sage witt or fool once asked, What's in a witt name? Whether or not that name is a witt name, do know that under certain circumstances a perfectly innocent name can be made a thing of dread. The organizers of the Respect The Name of George Society, or they call it, have our hearty sympathy. If there is any one thing that ruffles the otherwise even disposition of the average Pullman porter, it is to be addressed especially by a patron that he has never seen in his life before. The applation, George was hung on the Pullman ported by some witty commercial traveller in the man, founder of the Pullman Service, he began the operation of sleeping cars, as it has hung on him and over him since course people of taste reembellished him as George but these form a minority of the traveling public. One of the quilts best ways we have of judging a passenger is their manner of addressing him, with George Sam, or "Bill" well, we leave an opinion of him to the reader to guess.

Abbie Mitchell, Soprano, Assisted by Melville Charlton Gives Superb Song Recital
A fairly large audience, but not as large an audience as the program deserved, heard two great artists render a great program of song compositions at Mother A. M. E. Jon Church, West 130th street, on Monday night, May 26.
The two artists were Abbie Mitchell, dramatic soprano, and Melville Charlton, accompanist. To the well-informed, little more is necessary than to say that Miss Mitchell was in rare voice and mood, and that Mr Charlton exhibited his usual excellent skill and sympathetic understanding at the keyboard of the pianoforte.
The program, opening with two aids by Henry Purcell, dating back to the 16th Century, ranged with faculty and balance through the school of Italian, German, French and Russian schools of music, to come to a climax with two of Harry Burleigh's Negro Spirituals, and a delightful English song by Granville Eimoch.
Especially charming was the singer in her rendering of Handel's "Lascia chio pianga," and in decided contrast was her lively interpretation of Durante's "Danzal Danza." Three of the finest of the Schubert songs were sung in English, as was a group of Russian songs later on. The German songs were "Stormy Morning," "The Raven," and "The Almighty." It is usually claimed by singers that the English translation of foreign language songs creates a difficulty not easily mastered, but there was no evidence of such a condition in the rendering of these songs by Miss Mitchell.
Two songs by Brahms were given in German, and the singer displayed her familiarity with the vernacular by the perfection of her accent. "Am Sonitag morgen" was delightfully rendered. A French song by Massenet, "Plehrez pleureux, mes yeux," was one of the high lights of the evening, and won enthusiastic appreciation from the auditors.
The Russian group composed songs by four outstanding representatives of the modern Russian school. "Ozara's Song by Rimsky Korsakow," "At the Ball" by Tschankowskis, "The Songs of Grussia" by Rachmanninoff, and My Native Land" by Gretcheninoff.
The Negro Spirituals, "Summer please don't let this harves pass" and "Weepin' Mary" by Burleigh, and a splashing English song, "Feast of Lanterns" by Bantock, brought the exceptionally well-arranged and muchly enjoyed program to a conclusion, save that in response to an insistent demand, Miss Mitchell gave her first and only encore of the evening, "Down in the Forest" by Landon Romalis. Previously, she had compelled the audience to be satisfied with charming smiles and graceful bows, even when their rapturous and acclaiming applause was accompanied by gorgeous and flaming bunches of beautiful flowers.
The warmth color and vibrant life of the singer's voice gave to the singing of the program an element of enjoyment which had to be heard to be fully appreciated. To this was added sympathy and comprehension, an entering into the composer's mood and a sincere and faithful interpretation of the song's meaning. In this she was superlatively supported by Melville Charlton at the piano. His musicianship is always outstanding his technique is incomparable and he possesses that sympathetic quality which enables him to merge his personality into that of the singer, and lend his personal ability and intelligence to the making of a complete and artistic performance.
Mrs. Bertha DesVerney presented the artists, under auspices of the Senior Choir of Mother Ivon, Mrs. A H Boyer president, C F Leoart, choreographer, Miss Baty Scott, organist, Rev. J W Brown, pastor.

CERTRUDE HENRY IS HEARD IN NEWARK IN RECITAL DEBUT
It was possible at week only to mention that Mrs Gertrude Henry soprano debutante pupil of the Wynn Lamb Stadium at Orange N.J. made her concert debut at Wallace Hall Newark on Tuesday evening May 20.
Mrs Henry has been devoting some time to the training of her son under Liam's tutelage but up to this event it said she had never sung in public not even in church services as one of her friends put it. It should not be surprising therefore that she exhibited certain signs of nervousness, more brutally denominated as stage fright nor is it to be wondered at that she did not entirely free herself of this feeling throughout the evening.
This was shown perhaps not so much in her bearing as in the manner in which it interfered with her phrasing and enumeration. There was a shortening of phrases which to my mind appeared to be clearly an inability to control her breathing organs and the same cause brought some indistinctness in her duration.
The same discussed by Mrs. Henry is of a pleasing quality with a certain winsome plantiness that appeals. If it lacked volume and power it possessed tonal color and sweetness to make up for any deficiency in robust quality. With further studies and serious application such as has been given already the singer will probably show later on in her career such development and growth as warrants the present sacrifice of time, money and physical effort. Incidentally it might be worth while if Mrs. Henry should leave some time to such physical culture exercises as would help to build up and develop her breathing power.
Frederick Mess from all a populist of the Iamb Studio was the asking artist with Mrs. Cora Wisman Alexander at the piano. Mr. Mess sang delightfully well, though his program taxed him just a bit too much. He group he sang four songs two of them being the "Manson area" I am alone and the Coleridge Taylor song I awake awake. Beloved from Hiawatha's Wedding Feast. He sang the first superbly with power and authority but he was unable to bring to Hiawatha's magnificent love song the total strength and force it requires.
Mrs Alexander added to the many laurels which her nimble fingers supplemented by a keen and well developed intelligence, have won for her as an accompanist. It is always a delight to listen to her work at the piano and on this occasion she seemed to be just a little bit better than usual.

DEACON JOHNSON'S
MUSICAL COLUMN
Will Marion Cook, the late David L. Martin, Attorney Eldridge Adams, Prof. Mannes and the late King of Syncapation, James Reese Eulope, collaborators in concert for the benefit of the late colored Music School Settlement, lifted the singers and players of Greater New York from a position hardly equivable to one of international esteem and confidence. They are amplifiers of the class of musical productions best done by singers and players, which led to the specializing in private entertainment on the wholesale unit system.
We are working hard to put a backbone where we have a wishbone—so to speak—in our business for a greater service on the one hand and of enlightenment on the other. In our line, we rub shoulders and shake hands with the most influential men and women on earth—we have the small end of the wedge anywhere we wish to drive it—we are conceded and accepted as musicians and entertainers where we would not be considered in other walks of life.
The Singers and Players Exchange practices what it preaches and in every known instance, co works with all who will allow us to. We know that friendly rivalry for efficiency pays large dividends—but jealous rivalry for cussiness keeps us living from hand to mouth in these great times of plenty.
We are striving to carry on a great enterprise whose services are not limited by pay nor hours, and we are getting stronger through the struggle to hold in line dowdy indifference, slipshod methods, and actual dishonest practice of some who are burglarizing great business opportunities.
No system of management will work where everybody tries to work the management. Most singers and players idea of prices are about two dollars more than they get.
Times have changed! Opportunity has a new pass-word! And we all have to learn it if we hope to advance
The period of false prosperity is short lived at all times. Easy money is soon a dream of the past. Big pay for little work as never constant.
The four finisher, the slacker and cheat rapidly wear themselves out. The way is always cleared for earnest men of honest purposes.
As to price of $10, $12 and $15 we simply reply. Your patterns plus your abilities to tender a better service will determine that.
Our idea is not solely a single orchestra proposition but a well defined system of management as a starting point to protect all interests concerned in every contract.
We promote laudable team work.
Real merit high class leadership persistent leader headed work win in the end. Leadership is always handicapped with responsibility.
Take nothing for granted. Learn your job well. Know how, then go ahead.
The only extraordinary quality detected in leadership is tireless capacity for exactness.

Three Victories Over Weekend Bring Unbroken String to Eight and Carry New Yorkers to League Lead.
It looks as though New York will have another championship baseball team this year in the Lincoln Giants, who have won eight straight victories and are now leading the Eastern Colored League. Over the past weekend they defeated the strong Farmers at Farmer Oval, Brooklyn, on Saturday, and the Batharach Giants in a double header, at Catholic Protectory Oval, on Sunday.
In Saturday afternoon's game Taylor pitched his fourth victory for the local team, winning by a score of 10-4, and George Scales hit the longest home run ever scored at the Brooklyn field. The ball was driven beyond the score board in center field.
The Batharach Giants did not appear at their best on Sunday and were defeated 9-1 and 9-3. In the second game, Lloyd, Lundy and White made costly errors. The Lincoln got away with a flying start in the opener by scoring five runs in the first innning, Mitchell, who pitched this mung, was hurriedly relieved by Carr.
Dave Brown pitched for the home team and allowed only seven scattered hits George Scales scored his sixth home run of the season in this game and heavy hitting was also indulged in by Marcel and Wilson. The game was the shortest of the season, lasting only an hour and forty minutes.
In the second contest: Hudspeth drove Lockhart from the mound in the 7th inning by hitting a home run Lockhart finished the game for the visitors. Williams led the Lincoln with three hits during the game and also did good work at short.
Although there was some criticism of the Lincoln for the many changes at the beginning of the season, the fans now realize that under Judy Gans the team has improved 100 per cent. The games on Sunday drew the largest crowd of the season and indications are that there will be another record crowd next Sunday.
AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE
An interesting sauvette bill is being presented at the Lafayette Theatre this week. The show is headed by Brassett's London Orchestra, a new musical combination in Harlem which received a big ovation Gertrude Saunders and the Bambo Land Revue. The Revue except for Lilian Brown, did not come up to the expectations of the audience at the opening performance on Monday night. However, the beautiful costumes the capable chorus and several new songs indicated that there was plenty of material for a first class revue, which will probably be worked into shape before the end of the week.
Dave and Lance Lough and Barker Jimmie Wrooks and Billy Mika were among the stars made up the program.
The attraction is the week of June 15, an interactive revue by Irwin Moore and Pinkard Supplemented in several well known sauvette safety acts.
Lincoln Giants to Play Harrisburg Memorial Day
At the Presbyterian Oval on Friday afternoon, Memorial Day, the Lions Grants and the Harriburg Grants will meet in a special holiday double header. The attraction to the Sunday at this park has also been causing much interest.
Ansel Bell (formerly known as Kid Buller) fought his first time in more than six months in the star 12-round bout at the Commonwealth Club on Saturday night, May 24. Despite his long layoff, Bell was in excellent condition and fought one of the best fights of his career.
It was his third encounter with Spencer Gardner of Newport, R. I., and the colored-fighter outpointed him in every round but one. In the past Bell tired too easily, but on Saturday night he was as strong at the finish as in the beginning. He weighed 120 pounds and his companion 122%.
Just before the final bout, Sam Langford, who came to New York last week to have his eyes treated by a specialist, was presented from the ring, and received an ovation which lasted about two minutes. The veteran fighter, who in a career of twenty years had nimply climbed into the ring for two hundred fights, was wearing a pair of smoked glasses, and had to be assisted. Through the announcer, Langford told the fans that he was just as good as ever except for his eyes and hoped to fight at the Commonwealth in a few months.
In the semifinal bout also of twelve rounds, Al Brown was awarded the decision over Jgr Colletti Brown, who is one of the tallest flyweights in the game towered a foot above his opponent and had the advantage of several inches in reach. He also had a slight advantage in weight but did not make as good a showing as he could have made because he did too much infighting. Had he kept away from his opponent, he might have scored a knockout. The weights in this contest were Brown, 112 (Colletti, 110)

The valedictory was delivered by Wm. C. Washington of State Line, Miss, who is not only a scholar but a mechanic and member of the institute band. His subject was "How the Water Supply Is Oblained at Tuskegee Institute." After explaining the Tuskegee source he pointed out the need for wholesome, clean water. He instilled a very unique miniature pump on the stage and explained its mechanism and its relation to the water supply. The morning program was concluded with the singing of Work's "Lullaby" by the choir.
The Aternoen Session.
Following the singing of Verdi's "Anvil Chorus" by the choir, the bugle sounded and an electrical sign flashed the words "daily activities." Young men and women came on the platform in work clothes. The bugle sounded again. The chapel was transformed. Instead of viewing a commencement platform, such as such exercises usually present, their eyes held a veritable workshop. They were thrown in the whirling and humdum of industry. In one corner the building trades were being demonstrated, suits of clothes were being made and hitted by tailors in the embryo, horses were being cared for properly, and every phase of the trade work carried on in the forty odd divisions was shown during the seven minutes of operations.
Ransom speaks.
In introducing F. B. Ransom the speaker of the day Dr Moton spoke of his usefulness to the Negro race, of his achievements as an attorney and a business man. He was greeted with an outburst of applause when he rose and frequent applause during his address indicated the deep impression which was made upon his hearers and he delivered what has been proclaimed to be one of the most eloquent commencement addresses heard at the institute He said in part
Standing here, looking into your faces, and sensing the hopes, the ambitions, in need the belonging of kindred spirits, the love of a race, the race is calling you into the churches the schools, the institutional life the fields and the trades, calling or trained hands, the schools, the schools, the schools. You will pardon me, but this is a happy occasion, great in its possibilities and at the very outset bring you a message to the youth, to bring you so inviting to ambitious young men and women, industrial opportunities in the north, better understanding and with the south, the universities are opening up everywhere, the gates are swinging open a race has seen the light, indeed no power on earth is missing, the waves of the ever-advancing Negro
Neuro Haa Opportunity in America.
This is a great country and I sometimes fear that we must make the mistake of over emphasizing our real and fancied wongness in this country. In this country, Let the Tuskegee graduate remember that this is his country, that he is a full fledged American can citizen, that as such he must not only be wongness in this country, but be willing to shoulder the responsibilities of citizenship and make a creditable contribution to American life and institution. I am resting tired of hearing the street breaker and petty grafter talking about my rights. I want to hear the mighty tramp of a vast army of ambitious young men, honest of purpose, clean of vision and opportunity to prove their worth anywhere and everywhere so long as they can hear the ring of an honest dollar and proving it, then and not until then preset their case before the bar of pub

Re Assets—Not Liabilities
The problem of the business man is to increase his assets and reduce his liabilities. The uneducated Negro liability indeed hinders you, ever vengeance lurges on your race. You are the members of Tuskegee, see to it that you maintain the Tuskegee spirit everywhere you go and that you do not take of getting wrong side of the law. Your courts there is a phrase common to lawyers known as contributory negligence and in personal injury cases one cannot recover damages shown that you did not injure to one's own or in your injury. Do not be guilty of contributing to negligence before you demand an equal opportunity to work or play you want to work and you are worthy, dependable, equally reliable, trustworthy and honest. I have said on a former occasion and I wish to say here with all the emphasis that a noisy, disordered foul smelling man should not come from a heat and dust and the same thing should apply to the same kind of person in a white skip. My message man is illiterate and will but let the test of normal fitness and not the collar of the shirt.
"Do Your Best."
Some of you will seek higher education while others will go into the professions some of which you trade. It is not for me to suggest where you are or what you follow but I do most earnest wherever you go. I do most earnest with whatever you go. Do your best, your level best.
be that you do your best your level best, that you make of yourselves that you possess personal merit of the life of your respective community, that as did the soldiers in the past you dig in, dig deeply into the earth, the existence of the people of both nations, existence of the people of the civil life of your community, dig into the warp and woof of the industrial economy, and business life of America, thatonie, and another the respout of the white and black, and seek rather the good will of all groups, and you make yourselves so enlightened and so until your word will be the pass book to your bank and the latch key to every bank.
Dr. Moten Awerda Diplomaz.
As in former years the diplomas and certificates were awarded by Dr. Moton. Conspicuous among those to receive certificates were three young men who graduated from one of the leading colleges in the South and who realizing the need of trained agriculturists came to Tuskegee. Institute to take advantage of the opportunities offered here for such training. In presenting the diplomas, Moton said among other things: "If am authorised by the board of trustees upon the recommendation of faculty, to the request of you these diplomas and certificates as evidence that you have creditably and successfully completed preserved courses in the Tuskegee Moton industrial institute. I wish to congratulate you upon coming thus to the culmination of your scholastic scholastic career at Tuskegee."
To join ranks of 8,000 Graduates
"You are now admitted to the rank of that noble army of most useful man or that women, composed of more than 3,000 men, women, composed of the alumni of this institute, represent the service which they rendered in their service, communities, the courage and wisdom which they have shown and their loyalty to the work for which it stands are a continual source of encouragement, and inspiration to those of our officers are permitted to share in carrying forward our work which at so great a sacrifice bookwash Washington was able to establish here.
Now that you have come to this day, you and back upon your school life you will ask what you have not always had an easy time at. You have frequently had to struggle to meet the requirements; to make the necessary grade in the industries as well as in subjects. It has not always been easy to comply to the required standard of deportment, which is required here. You have had a continual struggle but for this we have no apology. Those who began with you have fallen on the wayside. They were not able to stand abreast.
So Oeurageous And Use Wisdom
As you enter upon the larger field of service you will have to meet difficulties as you are trying and as exacting as those to your at Tuskegee. Difficulties we as a race face other races and there are difficulties without race that are real, trying and which cannot be overlooked but which must be faced with commitment and wisdom as well as with honesty and service. But sometimes I think difficulties within the race are just as trying and frequently more exasperating, sometimes on discourage. These must be faced with equal courage and frankness and with wisdom, sagacity and usefulness.
I want also to emphasise the opportunities which you have to render real service which you have to give food and to humanity. No group of people in humanity have a larger opportunity for downright service to race and nation than has the young people who are going out from education. If you will be controlled by the spirit of the founder of this institution by the trust of the University institute, you will justify in the name of the sacrières which have been made for you the confidence and hopes of your teachers and friends here and elsewhere.
Walter L. Hutcherson of the class of 1924 delivered the alumni address.

ROYAL GIANTS ARE OUSTED & REINSTATED IN EASTERN LEAGUE
ROYAL GTS ARE $8
What threatened to become a split m
the Eastern Colored Baseball League
was narrowly averaged last week when
Nat Strong agreed to the terms of
the League Commissioners and promised
that the Royal Giants would play the
games they had scheduled.
Although the schedule was made up
in advance the manager of the Royal
wanted James Keenan of the Lincoln
Giants to substitute his team for the
Harrisonburg Giants in the opening game.
This Mr. Keenan could not do and when
he told the former coar of colored base
ball that it was impossible the latter
said that the breakaway team would be
permitted to meet the Lincoln.
Mr Keenan promptly brought the matter to the attention of the Commissors of the League and action was taken in Philadelphia on Saturday. Mr Strong did not attend the meeting but when he learned that his team would be out of the League unless he went through with the scheduled games he came in terms and promised that his team would stick by their agreement.
For many years Nat Strong controlled most of the small parks in and around New York and for this reason practically controlled sem professional baseball. Things have changed in the past few years however and the white and colored clubs in the Metropolitan area have shaken off his domination. He no longer does the booking for the colored teams, except the Royals and Cuban Stars and has only two parks.
The huest small park in the city of the Catholic Protectors Oval is now leased as the home of the Lincolnians and the New York Baseball Association of which the Lincolnians are a member control several of the other good parks. The fact that the owner of the Lincolnians has provided them with a home grounds instead of making them travel through out the season as Mr. Strong has done the Royals for years would indicate that James Keenan has the interest of his team more at heart than the Brooklyn magnate. In fact it is often a legged that money is and has always been the one object of Mr. Strong in Colorado baseball. It is said that so long as he can make money out of a player or team that player is a right with him. It has been he and not the owner of the Lincolnians who is right to present these two teams meeting this season.
It is stated by many of the baseball
men that his best in winning is
the opening game with the Lions was
to give them a ball start in the League
race by a double defeat. But since
they have been going well and his team
has been losing he is alleged to have
used every possible method to get out
of meeting them.
But despite his efforts the Lions and
Royals will meet in a double at the
Catholic League game on Sunday

John D. Hadwin of The New York "World"
John D Hadwin celebrated his (3) birthday on April 2. No one has ever been able to find out his age or where he hails from. There are hundreds on Park Row willing to swear he saw the Robert Fulton make her first trip up the Hudson, but we think they have the names of the boats mixed. We have found out he was steward on the first Robert E. Lee, which sailed on the Mississippi River from St Louis to New Orleans, but have no record of the Fulton.
He was one of the old forty miners and started for the gold fields, but his feet gave out about two miles out of St Louis. He has been looking for gold ever since but hasn't succeeded in panning much up to date. He has been a trusted employee of the New York World for many years, and we hope he will be able to celebrate many birthdays in the same job.

Bradhurst Club Meeting At Grace Church Addressed By Rosenberg and Donovan
On Tuesday evening, May 20, the Bradhurst Republican Club of the 21st A D held its regular meeting at the Grace Congregational Church, West 139th street and 8th avenue. The speakers of the evening were Eli Rosenberg, W J Donovan of the Seventh District Court and Mr Grasheim, president of the Community Council, 22nd District Mr Rosenberg, veteran manager of a score of political campaigns, contrasted the former type of politics practiced by socalled "Race Leaders" of a few years ago when they used the power of the ballot for material gains and the present type of politics represented by the Bradhurst Republican Club which tends to uplift the conditions of the District and place men and women of intellect and clean morals to carry forward the word of "Republicanism" that has been the salvation of the colored race since their enfranchisement.
W J Donfoyan spoke of the present generation, how they have attained the height of intellectuality and how they are fitted for the same positions in every walk of life as members of the Caucasian race. No longer can the race be treated as children by either party. They have reached their majority and must
