In this way, the bankers were saved from bankruptcy but the players were victims of another skilful manouver So consistent has been the average of winsmen within the past few weeks that a number of the bankers have been put out of business it is said, retiring from their activities even if only temporarily. And another report has it that several would be bankers seeing as they thought prospects of getting a lot of "easy money" from the "numbers" players by entering the game have been deterred from doing so because of the reports of heavy winsmen by the players Players Beating Game? This hesitancy with regard to entering the "numbers" banking game is of a part with the general feeling of uncertainty affording those already in the business. There is a belief that in some unaccountable way the players have at last found a way to beat the game, and as a consequence the bankers and runners are acquiring gray hairs in the intensive effort of thinking trying to devise schemes for the repairing of their sadly depleted bankrolls. Whether the players are getting advance done or have some other scheme, the bankers are in a bad way. President National Negro Business League, celebrating its "Silver Jubilee" in Chicago this week. CHURCH GOERS URGED TO WORK FORDR.ROBERTS Drs. Powell and Hayes, Sailing For Europe, Admonish Followers of Need To Support Race Candidate. Interest in the race being made by Dr. Charles H. Roberts the first colored candidate to be designated for congressional nomination in New York, is being shown in all circles. One of the outstanding indications is found in the action taken by two of New York City's leading Baptist ministers, whose churches are among the largest and most influential in the city. The Rev Dr A Clayton Powell pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church who sailed Tuesday the 19th for a three months European tour made a strong plea to the members of his congregation that they should not tail to register and cast their votes in the November election for the color of congressional nominee. Similar action was taken by the Rev Dr William P. Haves pastor of Mt Olivet Baptist Church who also sailed Tuesday for a three months tour of Europe. Emphasis was laid upon the fact that divisions and subisms should not be allowed to interfere with the race's opportunity to elect a Negro as Representative in the United States Congress. Many of the members of the congregation in both churches gave expressions of approval to the statements made by the ministers and declared their intention of acting in accordance therewith. Although there are a few sporadic outbursts from disappointed individuals there a general and steadily growing sentiment that in Dr. Roberts the race has found an ideal candidate to make the first race for congressional representation BEWARE OF DANCEY! All women are warned to beware of the activities of CHARLES DANCEY, the notorious stool pigeon, assaulter and despoiler of women. Every woman accosted by DANCEY or any of his associates should promptly call on the police and have him or them arrested: The Police Department has repudiated DANCEY and disclaimed all connection with his work. Women and girls who are unwittingly brought into contact with this dangerous character should protect themselves by immediately seeking protection from representatives of the law. Stool Pigeon Dancey, Out On Bail On Serious Charge Still Perniciously Active Police Commissioner Urged To Issue Stringent Orders With Regard To Use Of "Stool Pigeons" By Police Officers That Protection May Be Afforded Women Against Being "Framed Up." Although on bail, charged with assault and robbery, Charles Dancey, the notorious stool pigeon and police "pimp," is actively engaged in his nefarious and despicable work in framing innocent and unsuspecting girls and women into police toils, that certain rookies, and ambitious, but conscienceless officers might make "records."

Although no official statement could be secured from any of the officers of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church the Rev William P. Haves pastor. The Age has learned that a tentative agreement has been reached between officers of that church and representatives of the Seventh Day Adventist Temple, located at 120th street and Lenox avenue for the purchase of that property. The deal was closed Monday prior to the sailing on Tuesday of Dr. Haves for a tour of Europe. It is said that the deal will be formally closed about the last of October and the present owner of the property will continue to use the building until the fall of 1925. The prior agreed upon is said to be in excess of $400,000. Whites Not Pleased. It is also alleged that white residents at the neighborhood who have heard that the church property is to be sold, are offering an addition $50,000 above the sum asked. Their reason for trying to get the property now is alleged to be to prevent further advance of colored people into garding orders from the depart- mental heads but are using the funts allowed them for expense accounts to furnish Dances with money for his vile stool pigeon.

It is elaborately fitted up inside in marble and hardwood-finishings and has a seating capacity for 2,000 people. It was purchased by its present owners in 1920 and although a strenuous campaign was conducted there was never enough members of that denomination in the neighborhood to fill the edifice. During the past year it is said that the number of worshipers have fallen off from 500 to about 300 hence their desire to sell. Mr. Olivet Church will be represented when the formal transfer is made in October by James H. Johnson chairman of the board of trustees and by Deputy State Attorney Cornelius M. Dugold who is the attorney for the church. WHITE PLAINS YOUTH KILLS STEPMOTHER FOR RINGS AND $27 Throttles Her, Stabs Her, Crushes Her Skull, Then Stuffs Body Under Bed White Plains, N. Y.—Charles Taylor, a 20-year old Negro, is under arrest here charged with the killing of his stepmother, Mrs. Alce Taylor, 33, the crime being committed in their apartment at 158 Central avenue on Saturday night, the youth's object being to get possession of his stepmother's rings and money Taylor is alleged to have confessed to the police that he stabbed and choked her; and crushed her skull and then punched the body under the bed in her room. He took 427 and her engagement and wedding rings, then went into an adjoining room and went to bed with Mrs Taylor's father, John Franklin The murdered woman's mother Mrs Dora Franklin, and a brother-in-law, William White, failing to find her Sunday morning, made a search which did not disclose the body, but which resulted in them forcing Charles Taylor to accompany them to the station house. Just as they reached the office of Police Chief Joyce, a telephone message came that Frank Pinton of the apartment house superintendent, had found the body stuffed under a bed, Mrs Franklin accused Taylor and in her rage seized a clock which stood on Chief Joyce's desk and smashed it over the boy's head. Afterwards, Taylor is said to have admitted the crime and the rings and money were found on his person QUICK JUSTICE FOR FORGER RESULTS IN 10 YEARS IN PRISON QUICK JUSTICE FOR FORGER RESULTS IN 10 YEARS IN PRISON George Lerman who was arrested at 17 Prince street, Brooklyn on a charge it having altered $1 and $10 bills in $10a and $20s was given a quick trial and convicted before federal judge Dwain Toussars of the Eastern District.

The bootleggers of Harlem grew determined to make of the vicinity of 127th street, Seventh to Eighth avenues, the same kind of neighborhood as that of Lenox avenue, judging by the number of hooch-selfing joints there are in that block. Six different places are catering to the appetites of hooch drinkers and residents on this block complain that at times the scenes and happenings are of a character that makes for the debasing and debauching of the entire neighborhood. The northwest corner of 127 street and Seventh avenue is occupied by a gin mill that runs openly and brazenly and with an evident disregard of the law that arouses the suspicion that the proprietor must have a strong and definite understanding with the law officials. An Infested Block. On the way to fighth avenue, right in the midst of the homes of the people four points are being conducted. They are at 211, 243, 256 and 266 and at the southeast corner of fighth avenue and 127th street there is another place operating openly and holdly. The indications are that the revenue and police officials are either disregarding these flagrant violators or else somebody is being well paid to let them alone.

Lee of Brooklyn, Oldest Negro Policeman Of New York City, To Retire Appointed To Force on December 10, 1892, Serving Continuously Ever Since—Had Seen Long Naval Service Prior To Police Appointment. And Was On Ship Escorting Gen. Grant On European Tour. New York's oldest Negro policeman both in age and service was retired Tuesday, August 17 at his own request. He is John W. Lee sixty-five, of Clinton street station. Lee was the second Negro appointed a patrolman. That was on December 10, 1892, in the City of Brooklyn. Later with the amalgamation of the five boroughs now composing New York City he was enrolled in the city department, in which he since has been active despite his years. Failing health and his need for a rest after long, faithful service, were given as reasons by Lee for his desire to retire from active duty. From his early days, beginning with an enlistment in the United States Navy, he has been a public service. Lee was born in Washington Cleveland July 4, 1859. In his teen he enlisted in the navy and, as he put it "went on a sight- ing trip around the world." In the navy he became well known to Admiral David D. Pierce and War hero and Ad- miral John Lee Davis. He served in the S W Hearn when Admiral George Dewey was a Lieutenant. A member of the crew of the U. S Trenton in the Mediterranean he was in the escort for Gen. Grant on his famous tour of Europe after he as President. Lee also saw many armed con- flicts among them the Turkish- Russian War and the British War in Egypt. He witnessed the British bombardment of Al- geria. Released from ship duty, Lee present to the nasal laborator- er, William McAdoo, now the Magistrate then Assistant Secretary of the Navy under the island. He served there until an appointment to the Brooklyn air force. He lives with his wife and two laughters at 1923-a Classon avenue. One daughter is a glerk in the State License Bureau; the other employed in the General Post office.

Milholland Protests. . Westport, N. Y. The unwillingness of leaders of the National Women's Party 'to allow representatives of the Negro race to appear on the program of speakers at the memorial service in honor of the late Inez Milholland, always a staunch friend and fearless fighter in behalf of her darker sisters, precipitated a protest from that stalwart figure, John E. Milholland, father of Inez. As a fitting close to the annual convention of the National Women's Party, the women prepared a pageant, "Forward Into Light," in which more than a thousand women and girls participated. A church service was also held, both being in memory of the dead woman leader. These were held on the grounds of the Mile Millard lead-downmount, where Iner Millard lead-downmount, and 10,000 of her former neighbors and friends witnessed the pageant. Guests in the home of Mr. Mitholland for the memorial service included Dr. Emmet J Scott, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Lucy D. Slowe, dean of women, Howard University, Washington, and Mrs A. W Hunton of the N. A. A. C. P., New York City. Because the labors of his beloved daughter had included efforts in behalf of colored women, Mr Mitholland requested that the race be permitted representation among the speakers. This request was refused, the excuse being given that the program was complete and could not be lengthened by the addition of any Negro speakers Mitholland Volces Protest. As a result of this attitude, Col. Mitholland, at conclusion of the service, stepped to "the grave of his daughter, piled high with gatlands of golden rod and purple stock, and addressed the assembled thousands. He said: "Friends of Iner, I am her father. I feel it my duty to speak out, all believers as the way's did. If I did not I think her spirit would rise from the grave and say to me: 'Dad, why were you afraid?' And so I want to remind you that in the first suffrage parade Iner herself demanded that the colored women be allowed to march. And now to-day we were told that it would mar the program to have these guests of mine on the program. I have nothing to say except that Iner believed in equal rights for everybody" Members of the National Women's Party tried to palliate the matter, but one of the officers, Mrs Gaetia Wold Boyers, a party worker, declared that the political effect in the South was the real reason for the slight upon the Negro representatives Said she: We didn't want it to go out that we were bringing in the Negroes. It would be bad policy. We want to try to elect some other Congressmen from certain States. After all, this is our convention, and not Mr. Milholland's. BOOTLEGGERS IN 127TH. ST.

Moe Immerman, with his place at 519 Lenox avenue closed by an injunction and padlocked under orders from the Federal Court, is reported to be continuing his bootlegging activities, although in a slightly different manner That is, instead of actually running the hooch joint himself, he is backing others and supplying the hooch which they sell Incidentally, it is pretty definitely disclosed that Moe and Connie Immerman, the latter be the proprietor of Connie's Inn, now closed under the law's ban, are negotiating for control of control of the cabaret at 133th street and Seventh avenue operated by the late Barron D WL- titled to protection Hastemites are outspoken in their denunciation of the activities of Dancey and other notorious stool pigeons, and declare that such men should be driven out of Harlem or any other community in which they may operate.

Profits from the business are divided, by direction of the will, 60 per cent to the widow. Mrs. Carolyn S.

The executors of the estate are given power to sell the business, in which case the proceeds are divided among the beneficiaries in the same proportion as indicated for the division of the profits. Connie's Inn Injunction. The injunction against Connie's Inn was directed against George Immerman, a brother to Connie, and employed by the latter. In the meantime, the Prohibition Department seems to have fallen asleep, or to be reating satisfied with having closed up a few of the many hoch joints operating in Harlem. The number of new places opened up in Harlem is sufficient to bring the total 'very near to the maximum reached in the months past. Hardly a week passes but that a new hooch joint is opened. Sometimes it is an entirely new proposition, but more often it is the changing of base of one of the bootlegging places which has run foul of the law. And the most of these places are in and among the homes on the cross streets. The list of hooch joints new and old, given below, shows the location of places that are now being operated in defiance of the law, and in brazen boldness. Those who are familiar with conditions in Harlem, declare that honest enforcement agents can get the necessary evidence and close these places up in short order. The agents operating at present seem to be profiting personally, but their perquisites are gained at expense of the sanctity and dignity of the law.

Progress In 25 Years. In speaking of the progress which the Negro has made in the past twenty-five years, Dr. Monton said: "There is no need today for discouragement rather there is every reason for hopefulness from whatever angle we may view our situation notwithstanding the back currents and edifes in our political and social progress The Business League has had a very large share in a sounding progress that the race has made. Let me give a few concrete examples of this progress When the League was organized twenty-five years ago, there were in existence about 20,000 Negro business enterprises, little and big Now there are quite 70,000 Twenty-five years ago there were 250 durg stores, there are today more than 900 Then 450 under taking establishments were conducted by Negroes there are today 1,558 When the league was organized there were but two banks, now there are 74 We boasted and properly twenty-five years ago of 10,000 retail merchants we can boast of today of more than 25,000 In 1000 we paid taxes on property valued at three hundred million dollars our THE NEW YORK AGE I received your very cordial asked me as to how the Hon- of the National Committee is land in the contest represented gla, but which involved "Lil- licicans.

"Lily Whitism" had in him a positive foe and stalwart Republicanism had in him a mighty champion. I am compelled, by every consideration of truth and fairness, to make this statement in writing to you and to other friends, and especially so when Mr. Kean's position in this behalf has been grossly misrepresented.

The text of President Moton's address is as follows "Twenty-five years ago Booker T. Washington, whose name we delight honor and whose memory we deeply revere, called together at Boston a group of business and professional men and women with a view of devising ways and means by which they could忍 attention not less on the moral and intellectual; development of the Negro race, but of the same time on the importance and the absolute necessity for greater business progress. There was organized at that meeting the National Negro Business League. In and out of season, sparing neither time means nor energy, the great founder of this organization with his prophetic vision preached the gospel of business development for the Negro people as a fundamental necessity to their general development. His great personality drew to his aid always many of the leading spirits of the race The inspiration and impetus which he gave to business development and the results that have been accomplished in the years following measured adequately measured. The change and the change that have made to the race during these years is mesurable, possibly beyond the dreams of the most sanguine well wishers with in as well as without the race. We meet now in the great metropolis of the Middle West in our twentieth annual meeting, our 'Silver Jubilee' for sixteen years, the founder and President of this organization, with consummate test and wisdom, undemandable force and courage sought to overcome what seemed almost an obsession with our people business, fear and timidity a lack of faith and courage to go into business. In large measure as individuals and even so in groups, partnerships and other corporate effort we have very largely overcome this timidity. The need for the present therefore is not to overcome timidity and lack of courage as such, but to stress the need for honest capable, expert management means for credit and a warrant of assurance on the part of the business world in the ability and the competency of the American Negro to handle financial and commercial affairs, corporate and otherwise in a through going, genuinely efficient business like to them.

When the league was organized twenty-five years ago, there were in existence about 20,000 Negro business enterprises, little and big, now there are quite 70,000 Twenty-five years ago there were 250 drug stores, there are to-day over 900. Then 450 undertaking establishments were conducted by Negroes, there are 1,558 to-day. When the league was organized there were but two banks, now there are 74 We boasted, and properly, twenty-five years ago of 10,000 retail merchants, we can boast to-day of 25,000 In 1900 we paid taxes on property valued at three hundred million dollars, our realty hold-alone dollar are worth one billion and if we should add the value church property and educational institutions owned and operated by the race and for the race and the progress in education in all of its phases, including music art and literature we can properly say as the prophet of old with the profoundest reverence and thankfulness "What Hath God Wrought!" Negro's Debt to Chicago "Then, it is entirely fitting that we should hold our twenty-fifth session our 'Silver Jubilee' here in Chicago a city which I have been told was founded by a Negro, this much is certain, the first home on this spot was erected by a member of our race. One cannot view the great industrial plant of James S Kirk and Company, which marks the location of the first home in Chicago, without thinking of what Chicago owes to the Negro. And some of us who live in other parts of the country are inclined to think that the Negro too owes something to Chicago for in this city the progress of the race in other cities in comparison with its multifarious business enterprises, with two great banking institutions the Bunga State Bank and the Dougless National Bank—owned and operated by our people, the Liberty Life and other successful insurance companies with taxable companies not to mention the great printing establishment of Mr R S Abbott and the Chicago Defender, the headquarters of the Associated Negro Press with scores of successful professional men and women and the unnumbered beautiful Christian homes "We should and do reponse that, in spite of difficulties, in spite of injustice here and there, in spite of discrimination, nowhere in the world has the Negro made so much progress along so many lines, on so large a scale as is the case of the United States of America our country which we love and for which we have fought and bled and died, and for which we would even now give our lives if need be. "We have had business failures. Some of our banks have failed but the significant thing is that there has been practically no dishonesty charged against the officers of the few banks that have closed. A great many, huge banks have closed during the past year. In the Dakotas and adjacent States I understand more than five hundred have closed within twelve months. A great many more would have closed but for the combination of capital in other organizations that have come to their rescue. I know of a dozen cases within the past few months, where some of the largest financial institutions in certain cities in the South and one or two North, would have been obliged to close their doors with ample non-liquid" assets but for the fact that outside financial institutions came to their rescue, taking over their securities that were then "non-liquid," saving the institution embarrassment and its patrons money, and what was of equal importance, holding the confidence of the community. Pool Our Resources This is where the National Negro Business League can do and should do a large service. We are reactive to our obligation and false to our race if we do not every man and woman of us use every reasonable effort to pool skills and salaries, and of course contests, a part of which are sponsored by our organization. We do the things which other groups are doing so successfully, sinking personal differences and animosity and combining for the good of the race. This we can do, this we should do, indeed this we must do if we would carry out the ideals of the founder of this movement and face, aquarily, and courageously our present day duties and responsibilities.

We must, with all carelessness and sincerity in the future, by intelligent industry and thrift, by rigid economy and by careful, confident cooperation, place ourselves in the class of the five wise virgin girls who had oil in their lamps, who at the night time were able to go to them that sold and buy for themselves and thus were ready to go into the marriage feast. This we call do if we awake to our opportunities. "Let us see what the possibilities are. It is conservatively estimated that there are twenty million dollars of Negro money hidden under mattresses, behind bricks in the arch, buried in earthen jars, and in other ways hidden around the home. I know of one family where the wife and children knew that the father had at least six thousand dollars. He was taken ill and wanted to be left alone, feeling he was going to hide it. They had good reasons to believe he lied a good deal more hidden away somewhere. He died the next day, and though they scoured the place inside and out, they were never able to locate that money Buying Power of Race "It is also estimated conservatively that Negroes have in banks not owned or operated by colored people, between seventy and a hundred million dollars. Upon a great deal of this they draw no interest, it not being in the savings account. Suppose half of this money were deposited in Negro institutions, what a big difference it would make in furnishing employment Negro boys in larger banks to white institutions because most of our own banks, for obvious reasons, carry large accounts in white banks. There is another thing this league should do in the future in a larger measure than we have in the past, and that is, emphasis the importance of thrift for our people, young and old. Let me quote some figures from the United States Treasury Department based on taxes collected by the Internal Revenue Bureau for the year 1921. The Negro race constitutes one-tenth of the population of the United States. Basing our estimates on this fact, the figures of the Internal Revenue Bureau show that in the year 1921, Negroes spent for luxuries alone the following sums for cigars, cigarettes and tobacco, $56,000,000, for perfumery and cosmetics, $15,000,000, for toilet soaps, etc., $14,800,000, (personally I would not put toilet soap down as a luxury, I think it is a necessity) for moving pictures, theaters and cabards, $65,000,000, for soft drinks and ice cream, $30,000,000, for candy, $71,000,000, for jewelry, $25,000,000; for chewing gum, $1,500,000, pianos, orfans, phonographs and other musical instruments, $20,000,000; sporting goods, cameras, electric fans, photographs and pictures at least, $30,000,000 more. "Now if the league along with all the other organizations of the Negro in the country, including churches, Sunday schools, secret and benevolent societies and the like, could set up a continuous joint campaign say for five years, a crusade, as it were, with a view to get the race to save, not the entire amount, that would be impossible,—but without curtailing in any appreciable degree our pleasures and recreations, to set aside an aggregate of ten per cent of the amount we spend for luxuries which would total at least $100,000,000—think what it would mean to our financial and commercial standing in the nation. Two per cent of that total, if combined in a strong, well conducted financial' organization would make it impossible for any worthy business enterprise among our group to fail and a the same time would create a business confidence and support, in fact a financial credit, which would not only mean greater prosperity for business organizations, but the churches and educational institutions as well would enter upon an era of prosperity, the like of which has never before been witnessed by any single group in this country. Successful Service Institutions Our speakers are accustomed to saying, and I think rightly that the Negro can do what any other group in America can do if given a chance. His accomplishments here seem to justify that. There is a Jewish relief organization with headquarters in New York that in the past twenty years has accomplished what would appear to the casual observer to be starting results by combining small sums in a partnership. The Chinese have done the same thing by what I know as the Chinese Sex Society 25 years ago. Dr. Fredrick C. Hoecker Commissioner of Immigration a most competent writer and investigator and a most successful organizer who knows banks and banking and has a superior in the knowledge of real operation, whom we are expecting for this session was asked to organize for the Federation of Labor a cooperative banking institution not with a slow to making money for the organizations as such, but with a slow to helping labor along lines of trust and the pooling of their interests for benefit primarily of their own group. He did and one of that ank which Mr. House organized six years ago in Cleveland the Federation of Labor today has developed fifty banks, scattered all over the country with combined assets of over a million dollars. Can we do the same? We have the money in our place to do it and trend we have the ability to win our true trade. Aid From Julius Rosenwald We can command of necessary the advice and cooperation of the best and most experienced bankers in the country, but we John Rosewald George Lester Peabody, and Clarence H Keller, of the way to the war. Mr Rosewald has spent on the Rosewald schools in the South I think about a million and one half dollars as a result of the contributions there has been received, it match has from the colored people about a million and one half PAGE THREE dollars. He would gladly put an expert at our disposal and would gladly give us as much of his own time, if necessary, for he gives his time and sympathy to anything that has to do with the highest development of any people. There are scores of others also who would gladly give their assistance when called upon. National Negro Finance Corporation "For several years now, we have been discussing such an, organization in this league. At the meeting in Norfolk, Va., in 1922, a committee was appointed with Mr. C. Spalding of Durham, as chairman to take up this suggestion in all of its phases and to devise methods and means by which it could be carried out, and was authorized to perfect such an organization to be presented at a subsequent meeting of "the league. Mr. Spalding, chairman of the committee, will make his report to-morrow evening. The organization has been perfected and the charter obtained for a million-dollar financial corporation known as the National Negro Financial Corporation, capitalized at one million dollars, and I am happy to inform you that in the neighborhood of a hundred thousand dollars of stock that already been sold. At the urgent persistent request of the committee, I have reluctantly accepted the presidency temporarily. My hope is that during this gathering; or very soon thereafter, certainly, we shall complete, the list of permanent officers and committees. I have been surprised at the enthusiasm with which this organization has been accepted by our people; it shows that our people want something of a business sort that our leaders, with perhaps the best possible intentions, thus far not been giving. I hope by the first of January, if not earlier, we can begin active business operations. I know the movement will have the backing and cooperation of this organization and all other worth-white organizations, and that within twelve months, we will be functioning effectively. "I could give you illustration after illustration in my experience in the past few months which would prove to the most skeptical the absolute necessity for such an organization, but it must be wisely and conservatively and efficiently handled. It is not organized primarily as a money-making scheme—were that the primary object, it would not appeal to me—but it is a service organization We might have called it the National Negro Service Corporation, but that would have been misleading in high business circles perhaps, but it is nevertheless a distinctively service movement. It will make money, it cannot help it if it serves; it will make a great deal of money, and the question will come, comparatively soon too, as to how the money shall be spent in the larger development of our group. "Here is an opportunity for the more effective organization and work of local business leagues, for the national organization must function in a large measure through local organizations. We will perhaps divide the country, in so far as Negroes are concerned, into districts or zones, with a zone chairman or vice-president of the corporation, and zone chiefs, with State and city or country chiefs or chieften, but all of these committeemen and women must be people of known business integrity and sound in their moral as well as business standing. Help for Local Enterprises Sentiment is necessary and valuable, and we must have sentiment in this movement, but setiment must not control the movement. We must place at the disposal of local business organizations expert advice and counsel as well as financial assistance when the conditions warrant it. We must help in cooperative buying and selling in up-to-date methods of bookkeeping and inventories, in neat, orderly, attractive places of business and courteous service. We must take away from Negro business enterprises the all too characteristic car marks of shiftlessness, disorder, discountess, uncertain weight, unbusiness like as well as unethical methods of dealing with customers. In other words, we must, in business corporation, sell the Negro merchant to his own race as well as to other races. We need also to establish a central bureau from which may be sent the latest information regarding Negro business and corporations, a sort of clearing house of helpful information on worthwhile enterprise. Support of Negro Press "I firmly believe that the time has come when our people will support such an organization with their interests and time and a portion of their means. "Already the Negro press is keenly alert on this subject, and let me sav in passing that the Negro newspapers whatever may be their private differences have absolutely rung true when it comes to justice and fair play for the Negro people We owe them a deity of gratitude which we can never adequately pay. The Negro newspapers have supported this movement from the beginning. The Negro newspapers are read more studiously and quoted more regularly by the white press of the country than ever before. Negro correspondents and staff writers are employed by the leading dailies. This change from the former attitude of the white press is due to the recognized importance and value of the Negro press as a factor in our national life and the ability of our group as thinkers and writers in dealing with present day subjects. Era of Cooperation "The time is rapidly approaching when all of us wherever we are, whatever our social or educational status, whatever our profession or business, and whatever may be our differences of opinion must in a larger measure than ever before sink personal differences and prejudices and stand together work together strive together that our race shall have an equal share in all the blessings and privileges of American civilization without regard to creed or condition or habitat and having secured these privileges we must together use them ourselves for the good of our race and our glorious country and to the glory of God so that all may fully share in that far off divine event to which the whole creation moves." --- Our Choice For Governor Col. WILLIAM HAYWARD "No law is too good or important to be changed if it is changed by orderly processes of a free people, operating under their own Constitution. But no man or woman, however, is too good to obey that law as long as it is on the statute books." -WILLIAM HAYWARD U S Attorney, Southern District of New York. A GROWING CANDIDACY. Since The Age first announced its choice for Governor in the person of Colonel William Hayward, there has been a gratifying increase in public recognition of the strength of his candidacy. The New York Herald Tribune, the only morning exponent of Republican news and opinion among the New York dailies, recently spoke of him as "regarded by many Republicans as the leading aspirant in the race for Governor." Col Hayward was invited to make a speech at Pine Lake Fulton County this week, at a barbecue, in company with Chairman Morris of the State Committee. Senator Wadsworth and other prominent Republicans He will also speak at the Chenigo County fair. He was quoted by a reporter of the same paper as saying, that at neither of these affairs would he discuss politics or announce his candidacy for the nomination.

The state convention will choose its own candidate." That is a sufficient indication of the willingness of Col Hayward to become the standard bearer of the party this fall, if the delegates to the State Convention at Chester September 24, should choose him. While these delegates will not be at loss for suitable material for gubernatorialember, they will make no mistake in naming Col. Hayward as the strongest candidate they could select. His record as a civil administrator in both the State and federal service has proved him efficient and aggressive in enforcing the law without war or favor. As United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, he was prosecuted all violators of the law without falling into the error of persecution of the poor and unfortunate. As commander of a Negro regiment during the World War he won laurels for himself and his men by dogged courage and endurance, despite all obstacles thrown in their way. The choice of Col Hayward as candidate for Governor would be the surest way of keeping New York State in the Republican column. His nomination would command the almost solid support of Negro voters who are familiar with his war record. He would also poll a larger vote in Greater New York than any other Republican who could be named.

The way to secure representation in Congress has been opened through the designation of Dr Charles H Roberts as the Republican nominee for Congress in the Twenty-first district. The last representation of the race was George H White of North Carolina. Since he was counted out and his reelection made impossible by the suppression of a free ballot and a fair count the race has been without direct representation To regain this representation by electing a Representative from one of the Northern States, where every citizen has the right to vote if he meets the legal requirements has been the aspiration of the race for many years. The realization of this desire is now made possible through the broadminded policy of the Republican leaders. These leaders recognized the justice of this plea for representation by the voters of the race who have supported Republican candidates and policies with but scant return in the way of official preferment. The struggle for recognition has just begun with the naming of Dr. Roberts as the regular candidate of the party. I allow him to nominated and to fail to give him the fullest measure of support would be fatal to the hope of further recognition of this kind in a northern State. To make good, the Negro voters of Harlem should unite in giving the candidate of their race their hearty and unstinted support. They must show that they appreciate the opportunity opened to them to place one of their number in the lower house of Congress. The professional men, the dentists, the doctors, the lawyers and even the ministers, should unite to lend their influence and aid in bringing out every vote possible for the support of the candidate. Business men and workers of every class should consider it their duty to do their part in enrolling the voters of their districts in the cause. The various racial organizations of all kinds, lodges, beneficial societies, social and athletic clubs, should all unite to enlist their members as active workers in this election. The ministers should exhort their members to shoulder their political duties with the same spirit of devotion that they carry into their religious affairs. The women should take as active a part in this campaign as the men. The time has come to show whether the Negro is actually a political factor or not. If we rise to the opportunity and avail ourselves to the utmost of this opening afforded for the first time in the North, it will establish the race on a higher plane in the estimation of the American people. If we want representation in politics, we must show it by our works. The time for such a showing has arrived. Let us show that we are ready for it. MAKING UP COMPLEXIONS A letter from Saratoga Springs to a New York pictorial daily last week noted a new peak of fashion in the making up of artificial complexions. The new departure from the coloring of nature was described follows. A letter from Saratoga Springs to a New York pictorial daily last week noted a new freak of fashion in the making up of artificial complexions. The new departure from the coloring of nature was described as follows: In the porch restaurant of the clubhouse, Pearl White motion picture actress, created a sensation because of her Indian makeup Her skin was dyed henna—strange contrast with her hair The Indian craze has been noted at Saratoga in the red and white sport dresses of heavy flannel, which are fringed at the bottom in Indian style to simulate leather thongs. Mrs White is the first celebrity to carry the redman rage to the epidermis. Some say that the horse Redskin, which ran to days but failed to win a place is responsible for the innovation in skin and frocks. The animal is the property of Mrs E Arlington wife of a wealthy hotel owner in New York While this juggling with the color of the skin may be new on this side of the ocean, a similar fad was reported by the cable correspondents to be raging in Paris some months ago. The amusing feature of such freaks of fashion is the reflection that the possession of the genuine article, in varying shades of colored epidermis, is popularly considered a disadvantage in these United States, especially below the border line laid out by Mason and Dixon Henna is described as reddish orange dye, derived from the leaves of an Asiatic shrub or tree of the same name and also obtained from the Egyptian privet. As an artistic coloring for the features it cannot compare with the natural complexions of olive yellows and browns to be found among a group of colored Americans. And yet some of these possessors of a rich artistic coloring would enlist the aid of artificial bleaches to assume the pallor of the paler races Improving upon the handiwork of Dame Nature has been a favorite occupation of the human race since the days of pre-historic man. From the Old Testament we learn of a lady named Jezebel, who painted her face and tired her head, and looked out a window. That she afterward went to the dogs has not prevented others from imitating her attempt at facial decoration. The early historians told us that the ancient Britons painted their bodies in the few colors at their command, whether for embellishment or disguise is left to connecture Vanity bags found in ancient Egyptian tombs proved that the art of improving upon nature was practised in those early times All of these attempts to change the work of Nature go to show that the color of epidermis is not a matter of vital importance to the physical or social system, despite the undue emphasis laid upon it in the United States. It is unfortunate that the color of the skin should here be falsely regarded as a badge of condition or caste. Such labels as color of the skin and texture of the hair fail to denote the mental or moral characteristics of the individual wearing them. If the fail of painting the epidermis with henna and other dyes continues it may help remove the stigma now placed upon racial coloring which denotes no fundamental differences among those reared under the same environment of American institutions. Black or white yellow or brown a man is known by his works. Henna may change the complexion but it cannot alter the character. Making up the complexion may fool the public but unless the real stuff is inherent in the individual the effect will be transitory. When the American people realize these truths, color prejudice will fade away and this will be a better country to live in. movement is caredomod. It has within its own body the seeds of its death. The one dominant, all embracing issue in this campaign declares: "Free government of not long exist side by side with economic despotism." The reedy of course, is government PRESIDENT COOLIDGE SPEAKS. In his speech of acceptance of the Republican nomination for the Presidency, President Coollidge took occasion to reaffirm his faith in the National Constitution and the integrity of the legislative, judicial and executive departments. This indicates the calm and sane disposition of the President, who after his troubles with the Congress and some of the executive departments since he succeeded to the office, could still maintain his faith in the government as it exists. Nevertheless, Mr. Coolidge has his own ideas as to the duties of the government and insists that its business is to protect and advance the general welfare of the people whom it represents. According to him, it wants every one treated fairly and expects every one to do his duty. It must be impartial, but it ought to be humane. It wants to establish justice, equity and mercy. That the government fails lamentably in realizing some of these modest ideals voiced by Mr. Coolidge cannot have escaped his knowledge, especially in its dealings with citizens and employees of the Negro race. But Mr. Coolidge believes that under our institutions success is the rule and failure the exception. 'And he cited the Negro as an example in the following paragraph We have no better example of this than the enormous progress which is being made by the Négro race. To some of its individuals it may seem slow, toilsome and unsatisfactory, but viewed as a whole it has been a demonstration of their patriotism and their worth. They are doing a great work in the land, and are entitled to the protection of the Constitution and the law. It is a satisfaction to observe that the crime of lynching of which they have been so often the victims, has been greatly diminished, and I trust that any further continuation of this national shame may be prevented by law. As a plain matter of expediency the white man cannot be protected, and as a matter of right law is law and justice is justice for everybody We are glad that the President emphasized the matter of expediency in referring to the crime of lynching, as it is only by providing the equal protection of the law for all classes of citizens that the law can be made supreme over the mob. If Mr. Coolidge sees this fact so plainly, he may be able to impress it upon the next session of the Congress and spur it up to the passage of the anti-lynching bill. However, we think that the President made his position stronger in his letter to Charles R. Gardener, who regarded the nomination of a Negro for Congress as "allowing encroachments." To this Mr. Coolidge replied We are glad that the President emphasized the matter of expediency in referring to the crime of lynching, as it is only by providing the equal protection of the law for all classes of citizens that the law can be made supreme over the mob.

However, we think that the President made his position stronger in his letter to Charles R. Gardener, who regarded the nomination of a Negro for Congress as "allowing encroachments." To this Mr. Coolidge replied "Our Constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens without discrimination on account of race or color. I have taken my path to support that Constitution. It is the source of your rights and my rights. I propose to regard it and administer it as the source of the rights of all the people, whatever their belief or race. "A colored man is precisely as much entitled to submit his candidacy in a party primary as is any other citizen. The decision must be made by the constituents to whom he offers himself and by nobody else. "You have suggested that in some fashion I should bring influence to hear to present the possibility of a colored man being nominated for Congress. In reply I quote my great predecessor Theodore Roosevelt. I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man no matter how worthy purely upon the ground of race or color. This broad definition of the scope of the Constitution and its guarantee of equal rights to all citizens, without discrimination in account of race or color is worthy of the occupant of the highest office in the nation. A President who believes in this interpretation of the Constitution and who endeavors to live up to it and enforce it in the administration of the government would be a President worthy of the greatest government on earth. Let us hope that President Coolidge will have the opportunity and the courage, and the moral strength to live up to his interpretation of the Constitution This broad definition of the scope of the Constitution and its guarantee of equal rights to all citizens, without discrimination on account of race or color, is worthy of the occupant of the highest office in the nation.

La Follette of Wisconsin for the Presidency, failed to denounce the Ku Klux Klan, the candidate himself has declared his position. In answer to a letter from Robert P. Scrupps of New York he stated definitely his views on the race question and on the Klan. Mr. La Follette deemed it most unfortunate that questions involving religious opinion and other questions unrelated to the fatal issue of restoration of government to the people have been raised, but he answered the inquiry as to his stand on the Klan follows Despite the fact that the convention called by the Conference on Progressive Political Action, which nominated Senator Robert M La Follette of Wisconsin for the Presidency, failed to denounce the Ku Klux Klan, the candidate himself has declared his position.

Mr. La Follette deemed it most unfortunate that questions involving religious opinion and other questions unrelated to the vital issue of restoration of government to the people have been raised, but he answered the inquiry as to his stand on the Klan as follows An one familiar with my record especially in my own State knows that I have always stood without reservation against any discrimination between races causes and creeds. I hold that every citizen is entitled to the full exercise of his constitutional right. I am unalterably opposed to the evident purpose of the secret organization known as the Ku Klux Klan as disclosed by its public acts. It can not long survive. Relieving upon the sound judgment and good sense of our beotic it is my opinion that such a Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors The one dominant, all embracing issue in this campaign, according to Mr. La Follette's view, is to break the combined power of the private monopoly system over the political and economic life of the American people. He claims that it controls every important branch of industry—mining, manufacturing and transportation. He claims that it controls markets and dictates the price of every product necessary to feed, cloth, warm and shelter the human family. He calls this condition economic slavery and The Baltimore Afro-American last week referred to "the late" John E. Milholland. That seems to be a case of involuntary homicide, as Mr Milholland's departure has been unheralded in the city where he was so well known as an advocate of the strenuous life. Mr. Milholland is in good health and continues active along all lines, and especially does he continue to exert his influence in behalf of fair play and a square deal for the Negro. --- The homepun philosopher of the Richmond Planet undulged in the following counsel to youth, regardless of the fact that youth seldom heeds any counsel addressed to it. Young folks should get married early and they will have their era of trouble early and be prepared for graver things as they grow older. A person who can stand matrimony is ready and willing to stand most anything. Few married men drew back when the World War came. Many wanted to get away. When things got hot over there, many wanted to come back. Some others remained over there with the women they found on the other side. Get married early, the experience is worth it. As Editor Mitchell has so far evaded the matrimonial estate his advice must be regarded as the cynical comment of a confirmed bachelor --- "Home Owning Among Ministers is the theme of an editorial in the Philadelphia Christian Recorder the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. It said in part. A number of years ago the editor of the Christian Recorder started a campaign of home owning among ministers, urging our ministers to save their money and put it in homes to help take care of them in their old age, when at least they would not be embarrassed with the burden of rent. While a greater number of people are agitating for better pay for permanent preachers which is a very good thing to do, we have suggested that the minister in the height of his career should lay aside a few dollars in the way of buying a home on the installation plan. We are pleased to see so many of our ministers doing this. In the city of Philadelphia within the parish or so years a great majority of the ministers have purchased their homes so that we believe there are very few in this neighborhood who have been here any length of time who have not started such a purchase. This example of thrift and foresight on the part of the ministers should also prove an object lesson to the church members. 一 In an article on "Parks and Playgrounds the Memphis Times stressed the fact that city is well provided with resorts of this kind for the whites but practically nothing for the colored population. It urged the necessity of moving to secure these essentials to health happiness and development as follows. In the first place those who are in charge of parks and playgrounds should know that we need them, give them to us. Just why this is not so we do not know. But the park and playground subject is so important and such a necessity it should be agitated until it is realized in a concrete form. Since we have no one-head organization to speak for all the people a mass meeting should be called and a same representative committee appointed that will take on the matter and bring results. Well, what about the interracial committee has never been able to do in thing tangible here. Yes it has formulated some nice proposition, but nothing has ever materialized. The interracial organization is a kind of talk about things committee. It is a kind of a tar off promise between the races that keep the Negro always looking for what he never realizes. It is much like the rainbow one never comes to the place where it is. But there is a humbness-like way to get at these things. Make a few selections and have a few sensible men and women no go between to meet those who are in charge of the work in the city and ask for the selected places and work on the proposition. Whenever our people go up the count, something is done try as far as St. Louis and spend a little time in the parks and new school buildings as the Summer. High they soon make the homes up there. Can anyone blame them? That is the only way to get in and a thing worth while work and agitate rights until the result achieved. The inter racial committee might help by encing public outwork in favor of the project. The observance The Age Readers' Forum declares: "Free government cannot long exist side by side with economic despotism." The remedy of course, is government ownership of public utilities and nearly everything else. The history of government ownership, so far as it has been tried in this country, is the increase of costs of production with higher prices for the consumer to pay. As the consumers constitute the majority of the people, it would seem unlikely that they would adopt Mr La Follette's views But union labor sees higher wages in government ownership, hence it indorses his candidacy. by the Providence Advance as consisting of efforts to stimulate the buying of products raised and manufactured in the six New England States. It continued: That the colored population are alive to this appeal to buy "home" goods and products needs no apology although they are consumers rather than producers, due in a great measure to the discriminating feature levied against the colored workman in the industrial field and by the labor unions who bar them from membership as craftsmen. It should not be forgotten that one of the greatest industries of New England, the textile industry is dependent upon the black labor of the South for its supply of raw material—cotton Approves Fight For Race Man in Congress Editor of The New York Age I want to express to you my appreciation for the stand you have taken in the interest of trying to send one of our group to Congress. I am sure, from what I have read of him, that Dr Roberts has the ability to be a representative of credit to us. I do hope that you can unite every Negro voter in the district for him. I only wish I could be one with you. One of the results of segregation—if we will use long heads and still tongues. As our people come North pack them in. Once they are in, get some one to start a gerrymander cry, not that I favor the gerry, as a rule, but it is a disadvantage we can use with the segregation plan and swell our representation not only nationally, but locally. Segregation has its value. If wise heads and still tongues could be used properly, within five years time we could have a Negro in Congress from Chicago Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia and New York. As our people come North this thing can be accomplished if properly managed. Also permit me to express approval of your editorial on 'Garveyism'. These people have made and are making a good deal of trouble for the American Negro Something. I fear will have to be done. I would suggest a conference a get-together meeting among the most influential Americans on this thing. I see they are planning to kick them out of Cuba. Some such thing may have to be done here. Call a quiet conference on this matter. J H HARRIS Eraste Max Coolidge on Race Issues. From Brooklyn Daily Times Mr Charles F. Gardner, who gave his address as Port Hamilton in the letter he wrote to President Coolidge seems to be a sergeant in the army. The Brooklyn Post Office authorities have found him. It may be that he no longer wants the reply he sought to a letter demanding that President Coolidge recognize the race issue in the case of a Negro desiring to run for Congress. It there was any intention of showing that President Coolidge was affected by the same influence that persuaded the National Democratic Consent in the intention was without effect. The President reminded his current indent that during the war 500,000 ladies answered the draft without a single attempt at season. They took their places wherever assigned in defense of the nation of which they are just as truly citizens as are any of them. The suggestion of denying any measure of their full political rights to such a great group of our population as the colored people is one which however it might be received in some other quarters could not possibly be permitted by one who feels a responsibility for living up to the tradition and meaning the principles of the Republican Parts." It had been unanimated that Mr. Cool ridge would hold the peace on an issue which did not make such point in the Republican convention. He has now granted us a comment on the question of race and religious pre- mise but there is no positionality in Our Constitution, guaranteeing equal rights to all our citizens, with the termination of our account of race or color. It is the source of our right and right. I propose to engage and administer at the source of the rights of all the people whatsoever the belief is on. The I have just made the clear establishment and the continuing statement in the salient point made it has not generalized the point we frank and a point we would would not American people will have the right.

It will only be a question when virtue will receive its reward. This is rather a superficial view of the migration, based on the temporary depression in industries in certain regions. If the Negro can remain in Arkansas, "make friends with Southern whites and become independent." it is largely due to the effects of the migration.

Salem Church and Lyceum. Salem Church and Lyceum. Summer services at Salem Church, while especially arranged to meet the conditions of these sultry August Sundays, have not lost any of their customary spiritual depths. "Despite threatening weather last Sunday morning, many thronged the church to hear Rev. Thomas W. Cooper preach, with the result that a 'special blessing was enjoyed by those who ventured out. In a forceful manner, Rev. Cooper preached a gospel of progressiveness inspired by the words 'Go Forward,' Ex. 15:15. "This 'command,' said the minister, 'is applicable to all phases of our daily life. As a race or, as individuals we are not to be satisfied with past achievements, but inspired by a hope that is bright and a love that is ardent we should strive to go forward. Progress in our spiritual lives is also an essentiality and while we move to larger spheres in material accomplishments we are enjoined by the words of this text to occupy higher altitudes of spiritual achievements. Rev. Cooper, who had just come from Pleasantville, N. J., where Rev. Cullen is staying, brought a personal message to Salem from its pastor. Rev. Joseph Phillips, a local minister, preached to the evening congregation on "Redemption and Salvation." The Lyceum service at four o'clock was turned over to the young women of the Better Times Club who held a meeting in the interest of colored working girls. This group of young women representing progressive minds told of their plans secure better industrial opportunity for our girls. Their first objective they explained was to bring pressure to bear to ruge the telephone company to employ colored girls in the many exchanges throughout the city. Mr. Allison of the industrial department of the Urban League, spoke on some of the problems of the colored working girl Attorney Jas. P. Ifll also addressed the meeting. Sunday, August 10, Rev. Rider of the Union A. M. E. Church, preached a short but vigorous sermon on Christian courage. This virtue was extolled as a most necessary part of the Christian equipment "Courage," said the minister, "means having a fixed rule or principle of life and then adhering to it at all hazards." The Lyceum program was arranged and presented by John Rowley, vice-president. The numbers were principally musical, but of special note were the paper on "Religion and Conduct," by Miss Effie Miles, and the address of Miss Louise Jackson on the community's responsibility for the rehabilitation of the prison released In keeping with the idea to abridge the services, a musicale was presented at night instead of the customary preaching Prof Rudolph Grant presented a program consisting of the following violin solo, Master Johnson, tenor solo, Dewey Hicks, bass solo, H Maclaim contralto solo, Pocahontas Coleman Spiritual "Been a-listen" by the choir, led by Messdames May Williams and Grace Connolly. Grace Church of Harlem. The Grace Congregational Church of Harlem held its regular services on Sunday. The Rev J E Media preached at both morning and evening services His subject at 11 a.m was The Cross It's power and influence The subject at 8 p.m. was "Christian Heights" Both sermons were full of helpful spiritual inspiration After the morning services the men of the church organized a Men's Club The officers elected are as follows A T Strickland, president, Allan Ackerman, vice president Joseph Clea teeteratify, Wm H Christian treasurer. All men invited to join The pulpit will be filled next Sunday by Rev Eric O. Robinson. His subject for the 11 o'clock services will be "The Challenge of Jesus to the masses of today." At 8 p.m. his subject will be "Do Christians really believe in God?" Through an error the announcement was made that the Christian Endeavor Society would be discontinuum until the first Sunday in September. We wish to correct this announcement. The pastor wishes all of the church societies to continue throughout the summer. The meeting was held Sunday evening as usual and will be held next Sunday at 6:30 at time a very interesting program will be rendered. Let us make it a big meeting. First Emmauriel Church At the eleven o'clock services on Sunday, Pastor Balden preached from the test "Watch and Pray, that ye enter not into temptation the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" St. Matthias, 26.41 Pastor Bolden said, 'Our Lord Jesus the Emanuel spoke the words of the text to His apostles in the garden on the night of His Agony. The man Jesus felt the need of true friends. He knew that the spirit of the three favored apostles was willing to do as He requested but that their human understanding and power lacked strength. This we believe was due to the fact that they did not really know Him. To truly have known Him at that time they would have been more alert reverent, and sparedful. The Holy Spirit had not been given unto them by His presence teaching them the power and authority in the Eternal Words of the Lord and Master God. They were with Him at the Last Supper. They were a part of the beginning of the tragic drama of the closing days of His death. They heard and loved Supper with them. They told them that they should institute this Supper in their remembrance of Him; by doing so they were His Death, and Suffering. He promised them, "I will not drink heworth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new, with you, his father's Kingdom." These sciplets did little understand the sympathy and significance, the Emmanuel, though they were in personal contact and association with Him. Hence we need not be surprised that most of the professed Protestant and Evangelical disciples of but Lord Lord today are not realising the truth concerning our Lord In the Gospels. The lack of faith and authority is the great weakness among the Christian nations. May the spirit of the Holy Catholic Church, that our Lord built upon the declaration of Peter, "when he said, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living, God,' illuminate the mind of believers, so that their human energies will have power to watch and pray in the midst of the cataclysm and crises, that are coming upon the world. 'Wise men like Socrates perceived and sought to demonstrate ideas of immortality, but our Lord God, the author and giver of eternal life, he illustrated and postulated this truth. We therefore should watch and pray, test, and give into temptation for with most, the spirit is willing, but the fleshes his weak!" The Sunday school was opened at the usual hour by the secretary, Miss D. Small. The Literary Society convened at 4:30, W. Coleman having charge of the program. At 8 p. m., the evening service was well attended. Pastor Bolden preached from the text, "For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first" 1 Thessalonians 4:16. The Holy Communion was served at both the morning and evening service. The C. E. M. Circle had charge of the dinner during the day and $6 was given to the church St. Mark's M. E. Church. The morning, afternoon and evening services were elergly attended The master, Dr John W. Robinson, was the speaker at the morning service, which was held in the church, and delivered a very eloquent discourse. Rev R. A. Bolden, assistant pastor, preached at the tent at 3.30 p.m. Rev J.

St. Lukes Episcopal Mission It is marvelous to note that the attendance at St. Luke's Chapel has continued the same during the summer months. As usual every Sunday morning the late comers are compelled to go back, as the building has always been crowded to its utmost capacity before the services began. Father Durant has demonstrated his ability to attract crowds not only at divine On August 14th, assisted by a committee of which Mrs Theresa Shepherd was the chairman, he gave a moonlight excursion up the Hudson River, on a large three-decked steamer. A large crowd of over ten hundred people composed of some of the foremost people of New York, Brooklyn and New Jersey took advantage of o, the occasion to enjoy the beautiful trip on the moonlit waters, while the music from a large band added to the charm of the evening. The behavior aboard was as refined as that we find in some of the most exclusive parlours.

He and little Neal his son, left afterwards to join Mrs. Cooper in the mountains, where they are guilds of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Harrison. The pulpit was occupied Sunday morning by Rev. John Johnson, assistant pastor of Union A. M. E. Church, Manhattan, who preached a splendid sermon from 2nd Corinthians 4·18. "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temperal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." Sunday school was well attended at 1 p. m. No session of the Epworth League was held. At 8 p. m. Rev. Everett W Payne filled the pulpit, preaching from St. Minek 3·25. "And if a house be divided 3·25, and if a house cannot stand," and St. Matthew 2·25. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and unto them. Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand. He made a strong plea for a united church.

While the general concensus of opinion is that Harry Wills will score a knockout in his bout with Luis Angel Firpo on September 11, many followers of boxing think that Wills is going about his training in a very unscientific manner. They say that Wills is practically training himself and that the men he is using for sparing partners are no where near his size or equal as boxers. In the first game Dave Brown almost scored a shutout, the score being 5 1, and in the other the local team won a 10 4 victory in the eighth inning when Pistada lost control and walked three men in a row after allowing two hits. Gerald Williams came up next and hit a home run his second for the day. In all his fights in the last four years, Wills has hardly been hit and should Firpo land one of his famous right hand blows, it is thought that Wills would not know what to do in case he was hurt. Dave Brown opposed Oscail in the opening game and both pitched good ball. Chacon who is all with stomach trouble in a local hospital, was missed at short stop in this game. Dihigo, who played his position made a costly error when he made a wild throw to first base allowing 2 runs. In the last inning an error and two hits gave the Cubans their only score. There is a marked contrast this year to the training DANIEL WASHINGTON AND FIRPO ```markdown ``` John Tastor pitched the second game for the Lincoln's and in addition to doing well on the mound he got two hits and scored two runs in three times at bat. Hildare will play the Lincoln's their last League series this season at Protecory Oval on Sunday. The Philadelphians have been playing remarkable ball for the past month and have forged ahead of the other teams by at least six games. Manager Gans is hoping to break their winning streak and moment by to put his team in striking distance of the pennant again by taking both games.

He declared also that the time has come when the Negro should not further depend on the white man, but rely mainly on himself. Another wave of applause greeted his declaration that the Negro is in America to stay and not apt to find himself looking for aiding place in some other country. The audience exhibited the keenest sort of appreciation of the speaker by Dr. Charlton and Miss Mitchell. The organist gave two selections, both from the "Suite Gothique" by Boehler, the Mindet and Toccata. An added number was an organ arrangement by Charlton of a setting of two themes from Negro songs for the piano by Harry T. Burleigh. Miss Mitchell sang with surpassing charm and effectiveness the aria from Mendelssohn's "Hymn of Praise,"—written for tenor voice—"Sorrowes of Death," and she gave a rendition full of witchery of Spring is Come," the beautiful song from Coleridge-Taylor's "Death of Minnehaha," the second part of the "Hiawatha" trilogy. The organ accompaniment to the Mendelssohn number added immeasurably to its effectiveness.

W. C. A., Is Valuable Adjunct. (By LUCIEN H. WHITE). Seventy-odd girls and women are gaining renewed vigor, health and increased "pep" at Camp Fern Rock, the summer play place maintained by the Manhattan West 137th Street Y. W C A. up on the shores of Lake Tiorati in the beautiful Bear Mountain escarpment. Just how much the campers are being benefited by this contact with the "great outdoors" is hardly to be told by either the written or spoken word. The realization can only be gained by a personal visit to the camp and its environs. And to get the full benefit even of a trip to the camp it must be made under similar auspices as encompassed a party of five who motored up on Thursday. August 14. to witness a swimming meet participated in by a number of groups camping on the banks of the lake. The girls from Fern Rock composed the only race group participating, and it was refreshing to note the cordiality and friendly spirit which pervaded the association and contact. The two camps in immediate contiguity to Fern Rock are maintained, one by the Young Men's Hebrew Association, and the other by the Knights of Columbus—so there is found the triangle of contact so abhorrent to the Knights of the Invisible Empire. i.e. the Negro, the Roman Catholic and the Jew. And they dwell together in unity and peace. All of the Fern Rock Camp officials unite in testifying to the spirit of good will which exists despite the divergent beliefs and they say that an atmosphere of mutual helpfulness is always in evidence. The motor road up the west bank of the Hudson to the Yonkers' Ferry is one succession of entrancing and encing river and landscape views. When the waterway is left the road takes one on and upward into a mountainous region, with here and there a level stretch on which the thrifty and industrious truck farmer is cultivating a crop of food-stuffs for the nearby metropolitan marketplaces. All the while in the distance north, east and west rugged tree-conserved mountain knoll thrust their heads into the cloud, and appear to be 'ever retreating from the advance of the hold human who would ascend their steep and difficult heights. Through Nack Haverstraw and other villages of less pretensions, the road brings back eventually to the river and continues until Bear Mountain is reached. Then comes an eight-mile climb right on the mountainide along a road tree lined, but with occasional vistas that disclose glimpses of small lakes that glitter and glow in the bosom of the woods as do opaline jewels in the dark hair of a beautiful woman. Finally the camp is reached and the visiting group is surrounded by a bess of active enthustastic sun burned and water cooled girls. Just for a moment there seems to be a wave of wonder at the temples of a mere man invading a nymph paradise but only for a moment. In the joy of their existence and the delight of their surroundings the male is a negligible quantity, and he meekly and humbly bows to the inextable. Everyone is thinking of the water contests and there is a hurrying and MARTIN-SMITH MUSIC SCHOOL, Inc. 139 West 136th Street GREAT Special Instruction in Theory and Ear Innovation INDIVIDUAL INSTRUCTION in PIANO, VIOLIN, CORSE, BRASS and WOOD WIND, JEWEL M. MARTIN, Director June 8, 2014 scurrying, here and there, everybody talking at once, hunting middles, knick-ors, sneakers, rubber caps, straw cushions, sweaters, and other necessary parapherballs. In a few moments all are ready, under the capabie and expert direction and management of the camp's guiding genius, Miss Cornella Pedro, one of New York City's public school teachers, who for the past three or four years has, been giving her summers to the management of Fern Rock Camp. During the past two wears she has been in entire charge by camp director, assisted by a splendidly capable group of assistants, camp counselors, and others. Miss Mabel Bird of the 137th Street Branch, was up for the day to assist Miss Pedro in the swimming-contents. In the swimming contests, the Fern Rock girls did nobly. Katherine Johnson, the only entrant in the diving contests, took third place, a commendable performance in view of the fact that Fern Rock Camp has no facilities for diving practice other than straight diving from the float. Harriet and Ruby Pickens, Eugenia Davidson, Lyla Smith, Rebecca Murphy, and Evelyn Shepard, in the various swimming events, were strong contenders, and their efforts were resultful to the extent that the judges awarded second prize to the colored camp. Following the meet, the "mere man" of the party enjoyed a delightful row across the lake in company with the camp councilor, Miss Adelle Hunt, and some of her girls, including Miss Margaret Welmon of Brooklyn, in search of the camp mail, one of the outstanding events of the day to the camp girls. On returning to Fern Rock, disembarkment from the boat was followed by the discovery that supper was ready to be served and that there was ample and, satisfactory appetite with which to greet that meal. First, however, the entire camp, including the visitors, had to take in the flag-lowering ceremony, which occults every evening Food for the camp is procured twice daily from the Bear Mountain Inn, a caravansary operated by the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, a joint undertaking in which New York and New Jersey cooperate, and it is not only bountifully served, but, under the supervision of food experts, is of the highest degree of purity and wholesomeness. The staff of workers in charge of Fern Rock Camp, each one possessing special ability and fitness for her particular duty, is, in addition to Miss Pedro, the camp director, composed of Miss Hunt and Miss Alma Marshall camp councillors. Miss Sidney Taylor swimming councillor; and Miss Agolda Harrall of Harlem Hospital, camp nurse. Among the visitors at the camp for the meet were Dr and Mrs W E B. DuBus, whose daughter, Yolande, had been a camper for five weeks; J W Shephard, father of Evelyn, Mrs William A. Sellers of Brooklyn, mother of Johannes, the energetic song and cheer leader, who spurred the girls on to such vocalistic endeavors as lent inspiration to the contestants and enjoyment to the bearers; Mrs George Welmon of Brooklyn, and Mr and Mrs Franklin of Brooklyn. The special party in which the writer was the "mere man" who was to conspicuously unnecessary and negligible was composed of Mrs. Katurah B. Taylor of Orlando, Fla., a supervising nurse in the Public Health Service of that city, in whose Essex coupe the pleasant trip was made—Mrs. Taylor, incidentally, becoming familiar for the first time with the art of driving up an inline to the top of an elevation only to find that still another inline is before her, Mrs. J T Allen of Oakland, Calif., who had been in attendance on the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs at Chicago, and was visiting the East before returning to the Pacific Coast.

When he comes to the town's only dancehall and sees Mason playing faro, he goes after him. The onlookers make no effort to prevent the fight. Frank, livid with rage, battles them down and by force of mental and physical force, subdues their peaceful tendencies No longer protected. Mason, a coward at heart, fights as ferociously as such a type can May throw him on the roulette table. They roll over and over, until the table, unbalanced, upsets, scattering chips all over the place. The fight ends with May disheveled but victorious, and Mason lying prone and unconscious on the floor The fight is one of the thrills in a picture replete with fast moving action. Both Frank Mayo and Jim Mason know something of the fistwurt art and their knowledge and stalwart physiques contribute a great deal to making this scene intensely realistic "The Plunderer" comes to the Lincoln Theatre Thursday for four days Jazzland and Dance Music.

In all the history of our line of work there never was a time which eried so loud for OUTSTANDING COMBINATION LEADERSHIP. There never was a time when each unit combination so needed a man to lead it out of the wilderness of financial difficulties. The majority of us are financially ill troubled by debts, a prey to increasing competition that seems the worst of all calamities. BUSINESS must be treated JUSTLY and HONESTLY. We cannot do this until sowe accustom ourselves to take another's point of view and put ourselves in another's place.

This game was the feature event of the afternoon and the score was 2-1 in favor of the local porters up to the last inning. Lockhart, the local pitcher, was hit hard in the ninth, which with two costly errors, was responsible for three runs coming in The New York Central boys fought hard in their half of this inning, but could do nothing with the fast balls of Chapman. In the other contest the New York Central team defeated the Pennsylvania district team for a silver trophy. Both games were witnessed by most of the people in the park. They were followed by more musical numbers and junior and senior relay races Under the auspices of a general committee, of which A. Pullins was chairman, the day's outing was a success in every way and will probably go a long way to increase the morale of the Pullman employees of this vicinity, who are already an important asset of that company and one of the most important industrial groups among the Negroes of this city.
