Believe Prohibition Officers Are Bribed By Bootleggers
Harry Wills Is In Good Condition

Law Officers Seem To Be Lax In Curbing The Sale Of Hooch In This Community
Opinion Is That Sincere, Energetic Action By Officers Would Result In Effective Enforcement of Provisions Of Law—Bootleggers, However, Are Operating Boldly and Brazenly.
INTERESTING STORY OF WRONG COP GETTING HOLD OF "PACKAGE" INTENDED FOR ANOTHER—HOW IT WAS GOTTEN BACK
New Places Are Opened On Fifth and Seventh Avenues—The Immermans Are Reported As Trying To Secure Control of The Late Barron D. Wilking' Cabaret At 134th Street and 7th Avenue.
Many people, observant of conditions in Harlem as regards the unbridled and continued sale of hooch by the Jewish and Italian bootlegging hooch hounds of the community, are expressing openly the belief that officers of the law, both of the city police and of the Federal prohibition enforcement bureau, are being paid to keep hands off the illicit traffic.

In the narrow area from 137th streets, more than a half dozen hooch joints under emblances have been opened or reopened. One calls it smoke shop; another parades its miquity as an "Elks' Rest" to the fact that officers of that outstanding fraternal Order conducted all connection with bootlegging); while others are to more devious flagrant methods. Sold and worn camouflage of cigar and cigarette emporiums are a favorite device, with show cases in front containing a supply of smoke materials, thinly disguising the rear quarters are given over to the unhampered selling in copious and quantities of all types of the vile and poisonous liquids now marketed as hooch.

MORAL TRAINING IS
LACKING IN HOMES
SAYS COL. HAYWARD
In an address before the Bronx Rotary Club, meeting at the Concurra, Plaza Hotel, on Tuesday, August 26, Col. William Hayward, United States Attorney, charged that the lack of moral training of children in the homes of the country was responsible for the arrest of crime in the United States.
Col Hayward said that the courts have failed to check lawlessness and open flouting of the laws by every walk of life, and expressed the belief that there exists too many laws, too many lawmakers and too many lawyers. Most people in America believe that law is a fine thing, said Col Hayward, when applied to the other fellow. Nobody is too good or too important to obey all the laws of the land. Observance of law is a matter of morals. You cannot put a whole nation in jail. In man-made laws and federal governments have gone too far in lawmaking. I believe that in more than one instance the thought of the country

Southampton, L. I.—So varied had been the reports in the daily papers about Harry Wills and the condition he is in for his fight with Luis Angel Firpo in Jersey City on September 11, that I was curious to ascertain his real condition. So I decided to take the holiday (Labor Day) and run out of his camp for a look around.
Leaving the Pennsylvania sta tion shortly after nine o'clock we arrived here around one There were only two other passengers bound for the camp on the team, and they were Alex Sullivan a sport writer with the New York Bulletin and his young son. It so happened that Sullivan had been in communation with Mullins before leaving New York and his arrival two o'clock and found things was expected The camp is about three miles from the station and Mr. Jones I went around to his on whose property it is located was at the station with his car
Accompanying him were Paddy Mullins and Harry Newman, sport editor of the Daily News who is the chief publicity man for Wills. Although unexpected, I was cordially greeted by Mr. Mullins and invited to ride out with them to the camp.
We arrived at Jones (Casino where the camera located about two o'clock and found things rather dull as it was just after much time and Harry was taking a nap I went around to his on whose property it is located was at the station with his car
One Posed As Naliye African Possessing Powers of a Seer, Winning Man's Confidence Through Skilful Slight-of-Hand Tricks—But Money Goes and Loser Calls In the Law To Punish Schemers.
Magistrate James M. Barrett, in the Heights Court on Thursday, August 28, heard Arthur Milwood, alias Jake Williams (of 448 St. Nicholas avenue) and William Snyder, alias William Walker (of 234 West 132nd street) in $1,500 bail to await the action of a grand jury after listening to Louis Blenman, laborer, from the Barbados, West Indies, who lives at 313 West 144th street, tell how these men had defrauded him of $875.
According to Blenman's story he was returning from the Carpenter-Tinman sight at the Polo Grounds. New Weeks ago when two strangers accosted him and began talking about the bout. One introduced himself as William Snyder and the other as Jake Williams. Their mutual enthusiasm over the fight soon caused them to become more intimate in their talk and one of the men confided to Blenman that they made lots of money brought to this country recently by some prominent men of Wall street, who required most of his service, but as he was their friend they would take him to see the professor.
An appointment was made for the next day to meet the professor. At 238 West 170th street the meeting took place and by some trick of magic and a dial, Mr Blenman's interest was caught so much so that he was induced to go to the Bank of
Bringing In A Seer.
Blenman inquired about their work and they began telling him of one Prof. Balenger, a native African who possessed supernatural powers and who was their financial adviser. They said that Prof Balenger had been has gone far ahead of the willingness of its people" Continuing the speaker said that when the law affects the personal habits of the individual the cry of "personal liberty" is raised, and the individual feels that his constitutional rights are being infringed.

An appointment was made for the next day to meet the professor. At 238 West 129th street the meeting took place and by some trick of magic and a dial, Mr. Blenman's interest was caught so much so that he was induced to go to the Bank of The United States at 116th street and Madison avenue and draw out the savings of himself and wife, which amounted to $675. This money that had been earned by the sweat of his brow was needed by the corrector to get the spirits in tune and would be returned. Blenman was informed.
Pseudo Cop Cornes In.
When they returned to the professor's house, after some more tricks, the money was placed on the table and the party adjourned to the Harlem river where the subject was requested to throw a coin in the water and shake his hands three times. They then returned to the house, but soon after they had reentered the room, a knock was heard on the door and a loud voice demanded that it be opened in the name of the law. Professor Halenger appeared very much frightened and rushed the defendants and his subject behind a curtain enclosure so that they would not be seen. The fake policeman came in and placed the professor under arrest. As he left the room he pocketed the $675. The two defendants then came from their hiding place and succeeded in temporarily frightening Mr Blenman into silence.
Blenman Waked Up
But after a while Blennan realized that he had been robbed and went to the 16th Precinct station where he made a complaint. He then returned to the vicinity of the house and waited all day for the men to return. Finally he caught a glimpse of Williams and Snyder on Seventh avenue and leaving a kid to follow them he rushed back to the police station to secure an officer to make the arrest. Professor Balenger proved to be a roomer and never returned to his old room. According to the landlady a number of other people have been inquiring about him. He has not yet been apprehended.

'Mamma'LizzieFound Life's RomanceWhen She Met "Papa Fat"
Wealthy Jewish Lothario Was Satisfied That He Had Found In Hardworking Negro Widow The One Woman With Whom He Could Be Happy Since She Was Evidently Willing To Love A Fat Man.
BUT SHE WAS SEPARATED FROM HIM, AND ON HIS DEATH, "PAPA FAT" PROPOSED WEDDING.
East Siders are gossipping about the separation suit of "Mamma Lizzie" (Mrs. Elizabeth Williams) and "Papa Fat" (Sidney Vogel). Many of the old residents who are well acquainted with the principals in the case tell of the unusual romance of the colored woman and the Jewish admirer.
It comes from an unprejudiced and impartial source that "Mamma Lizzie", who is so called because of the regard of those who know her—men, women and children—is respected because she was always like a kind, devoted mother to the younger set Was Girl's God Father.
She was god-mother for one young woman now living on Third avenue, for whom "Papa Fat" was made guardian on March 27, 1916, as it appears today on her Metropolitan Life Insurance policy, still the defendant swears he was never the common law husband of the girl's god-mother.
Many of the old-timers who read the story in The Age of Saturday, August 30, are wondering what alienated the affections of the rich Jew and his Christian wife.
introduced to her by some of his colored friends who were guests at her home. On that occasion "Papa Fat" was invited to dinner with his colored friends. Then the occasion was followed by trips to Coney Island and other places, the affairs being as formal with "Papa Fat" and "Mamma Lizzie" as it would have been with any other couple

Then "Mamma Lizzie's" husband died and "Papa Fat" declared his love for her. He had already introduced her to his relatives, they seemed to like her, he was not married, and he found someone he thought loved a fat man. Frequently they were seen in public together and the janitor at 5 East 101st street, where they once lived, is still

Rosnoke, Va. - Although he fell from a train on the Norfolk and Western Railroad that stagned fifty miles an hour, Clarence Ponders a diving car water sustained only a few bruises, a sprained thumb and a twist in his back according to a report received here at the general offices. He just stumbled on the platform and as he did so, Ponder stopped out and fell from the train. He has relatives living near where the accident occurred and he was taken to their home.

Then "Mamma Lazzie's" husband died and "Papa Fat" declared his love for her. He had already introduced her to his relatives, they seemed to like her, he was not married, and he found someone he thought loved a fat man. Frequently they were seen in public together and the janitor at 5 East 101st street, where they once lived, is still there to touch for this statement, while "Papa Fat" swears he never lived as husband to "Mamma Lazzie."
It comes from a reliable source that "Papa Fat" was a good provider for "Mamma Lazzie" and furnished a neat home for her which was visited by his mother and father who promised to name her in their will, since their religion made a marriage of the couple a thing not practical.
Finally, father died and he was followed by the mother, then no morning in March, 1922, "Papa Fat" walked out and never returned. He left behind him a bundle of post cards letters, photographs of himself, mother father, brother, his brother baby, souvenirs or social functions of his societies such a man usually saves at his home, still he swears that he never lived with "Mamma Luzzie" as his wife "Mamma Luzzie" denies that she is suing "Papa Fat" for the sake of motory or the purpose of blackmail. She claims that she is only seeking relief from the cruel condition into which his abdomen has left her. She huns at her willingness to comprise by stating that she would be satisfied with a comfortable home.
KEYNOTE SOUND
"Silver Jubilee" of National Negro Business League Marked By Complete Reorganization Program.
FOURTEEN. DISTRICTS FORMED TO PUT OVER EFFECTIVE PROGRAM
Each Headed By A Vice-President — National Negro Finance Corporation Unanimously Endorsed..
Chicago, Ill.—The keynote of the "Silver Jubilee" of the National Negro Business League, which held its twenty-fifth annual session here, was the expansion of Negro enterprises, financially and commercially, as set forth in the annual address delivered by the president, Dr. Robert Russa Moton of Tuskegee Institute. The progress of the race was reviewed and possibilities for further and more rapid economic advancement were pointed out in all reports and addresses. The sessions were held in Wendell Phillips High School. All of the meetings were largely attended.
New Program Launched.
The program, launched by President Moton in his address on Wednesday night, given in given in full in last week's Age, embodied a complete reorganization of the League. The new plan consists of the formation of fourteen districts, each under direction of a vicepresident, the whole supervised by the vicepresident at large, B. M. Roddy of Memphis. Through this systematic division of territory, there will be possible a more effective program and the promotion of the National Negro Finance Corporation, the $1,000,000 enterprise recently organized in New York by influential and practical members of the League, will produce a functioning agency for the aid and development of Negro business enterprises.
The organization of the National Negro Finance Corporation was unanimously endorsed by the Business League.
Scholarships In Business.
An outstanding action by the League was the establishment of scholarships in business colleges for deserving young men and women of the race.
Another feature of the session was the ovation accorded Mrs. Booker T. Washington. She was given a splendid welcome by the convention and-made an interesting talk on the work of the League and of her steadfast faith in the men and women of the race.
Upon recommendation of the Committee on Resolutions, a committee on Building and Loan Education Work will be appointed by the Executive Committee to work with the colleges and local leagues in training our people in the building and loan idea. The committee will have the support and cooperation of the American Saving Building Loan Association of Madison, Wis. Miss Eva D. Bowles of the National Y. W. C.

result in effective suppression of the vile and debasing hoop traffic which damages its addicts physically, mentally, morally and financially.
Brazen and Flagrant Violators.
One of the most brazen establishments in Harlem is that conducted at 2360 Seyenth avenue, in the property owned and controlled by Robert Willis and his wife. The police authorities report that there have been twenty-eight arrests made in this hooch hole, and that injunctions have been issued, but just the same this joint continues in operation—and all the while Willis sanctimoniously heads the Lyceum which is conducted at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, West 136th street.
In the premises formerly occupied by Hurt's 5 and 10 Cent Store, at 2250 Seventh avenue, between 132nd and 133rd street, a new hooch place is alleged to have been opened in the guise of a cigar store by the proprietor of the store at 2281, the same avenue, also listed as an alleged hooch joint. Another new joint is in the basement of 2193 Fifth avenue.
Notwithstanding that the License Commissioner has refused a dance hall license for Connie's Inn, it is asserted on good authority that Connid Immerman and his associates are making a desperate effort of reopen that place. The Federal Court has granted a temporary injunction against certain of the men connected with the place, but there is an insistent rumor that Connie plans, failing to secure a dance hall license, to organize a pseudo social club and thus reopen the place. Whether he can ignore the law in this manner remains to be seen.
Want Barron's Cabaret.
The Age reported two weeks ago that information had been received to the effect that Moe Immerman and others were trying to get possession of the cabaret at 134th street and Seventh avenue which had become one of the best-known resorts of the kind in New York City under the control and management of the late Barron D. Wilkins. The report stirred up considerable interest and representatives of the executors of the Wilkins' estate declare there was no possibility of the Immermans getting possession of the place.
The rumor persists, however, that Immerman is trying to get the place, and that he is associated with two men. evidently Irish, judging by their names—one McMahon and one Moran—and that if they succeed in getting control of Barron's Cabaret they will put Moran in as manager, with John Lester Johnson the well known Negro pugilist, as floor manager. Incidentally it is thought that one of the men named might be connected with the cafe now being run in the Lafayette building, 132nd street side, where Johnson has been employed for some time past.
It is gleaned from certain official sources that after September 1st a concerted effort will be made to put in action the legal machinery operating to prosecute liquor law violators, and that every bootlegger on Seventh avenue will be hailed into court.
Officer Emanuel Kline Is Participating In The Annual Police Field Games
Patrolman Emmannuel Nunez of the 16th Prevent is one of the competitors in the track events of the annual Police Field Day Games, being held at Jamaica, L. I this week. He will take part in the 100-yard dash, and probably in in the half-mile race. Those who remember the popular Harlem poleman as a high school athlete in Brooklyn would not be surprised to hear of him coming off victorious in his race.
Registration Books To Be Opened September 22 to 29, and Large Enrollment Is Looked For By Promoters.
FIRST PUBLIC EFFORT TO BE MIDNIGHT SHOW OCT. 15, AT LAFAYETTE
Effort To Establish Art Centre In Harlem For Race and Public Asked to Assist and Cooperate.
The National Negro Ethiopian Art Theatre School, Inc., fostered by the Harlem Community Theatre Organization, is planning to open its second season's activities by the registration of pupils for the 1924-25 term during the period of September 22 to 27.
This institution, representing the cherished ambition of Mrs. Ann Wolter of Carnegie Hall, general director, first opened its doors in March, 1924, and the response which met the effort was exceedingly gratifying to Mrs. Wolter and those who had become associated with her in the movement. When the school closed for the summer on June 19, more than 400 pupils had been given instruction.
Based on the support given the school during this three-month term, Mrs. Wolter expressed the belief that the ensuing term would see an enrollment of 1,000 or more. Advance inquiries indicate that when the registration books are opened on September 22, there will be such a response as to bear out the optimistic opinion of the schools founder.
To Help Artista.
The National Ethiopian Art Theatre School is the culmination of many months of planning and intensive effort. It is designed to supply opportunity to artists and playwrights of the race, and to furnish a medium for the offering of their contributions to the art of the world. The founder of the school expresses in her every action the desire to help the race to an expression of its artistic ideals. For the proper realization of this desire, however, the race must render such help as it contains. The development of plans already formulated calls for the construction or securing of a suitable small theatre in Harlem as a beginning, to be followed by a natural expansion which it is hoped will culminate in a larger edifice down town.
The people of the community are called upon to cooperate in this movement by lending its support freely to the school and to such endeavors as are put forth by and for the school.
First Play October 15.
Plans are now being perfected for the first promotion of the fall season a dramatic play to be given by pupils of the school at a midnight performance on the night of Wednesday, October 15, at the Lafayette Theatre. Those in charge of the production are bending every effort to make it a notable and unusual affair. Proceeds, from the play are to be devoted toward the securing of a suitable structure for the theatre's needs, and it is planned to produce plays monthly during the succeeding season.
The scale of prices for the October 15 midnight benefit performance will be as follows: Seats in boxes. $1.10 each. Orchestra; first 8 rows. $1.25; all other seats. $1. Baleony first 3 rows. $1.25, all other seats. 75 cents. Friends of the school and the public generally are urged to purchase tickets for this performance and thus render substantial assistance to the movement
Curriculum Offered

Students from 6 to 16 years of age will constitute the Junior Division, while the Senior Division will be made up of those more than 16. There are no paid instructors, all of the service being voluntary, and through the courtesy of those who control the various places of assembly for
instruction, there are no permits to be paid.
The only excuse attached to the development of the work is that the provision of supplies for the work, and to meet the enrollment fees at 50 cents monthly, in the school District, and $1 in theJunior.

Contrary to reports first appearing which indicated that the National Women's Party actually carried out its expressed intention to have, no Negro representative on its program at the grave of the late Inez Milholland in the Adirondack Mountains on August 17. notwithstanding the vigorous protest of the dead woman's father, Col.

Scott of Howard University to speak.

Women Refused Request.
Mr. Milholland's request was refused, the plea being that no place could be made on the already arranged program. Alice Paul of Washington; vice-president, said it was a demonstration of women and no place for colored people to speak. Gaeta Wold Boyers, a party worker, was more definite. She declared that 'We didn't want it to go out that we were bringing in the colored people. We want to try to elect some women Congressmen in Southern States."
During the exercises at the grave, however, Mr. Milholland was stirred by memories of his daughter's belief in equal rights for everybody and so stepped forward and voiced his protest at the ignoring of the Negro representatives. As a result, Dr. Emmett Scott was asked to speak. He said, in part:
"Inez Mitholland had the courage to face the application of democratic principles and was not afraid to follow them to their logical end," began Dr Scott. "Those who fight for a great idea and for a great ideal do not fear to be counted as a friend of the friendless and a defender of the weak—and she was that, and more Howard University holds dear among its traditions the unfinishing faith and courage of the woman who in the moment of her greatest triumph forgot not justice and fair play
Recalls Washington Incident.
"At a time when we were engaged in a war go make the world safe for democracy, the great woman's suffrage parade was held in Washington Miss Milholland was its grand marshal. As usual, the spectre of color arose and for a moment threatened to thwart the purpose of the great demonstration. When it came to placing the young women of Howard University in the college section there were those who objected. The Howard women withdrew rather than face humiliation and embarrassment When Jill Milholland heard of this injustice, she demanded for our women their proper place. She was unwilling to participate in a parade symbolizing a movement which

Washington, D. G. A recent bulletin issued by the Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census gives, some interesting figures showing the census of paupers in almhouses in the United States as of January 1, 1923. One of the tables gives the number of paupers by color or race for the period from 1820 to 1923. This table gives the total population in the United States, as of January 1, 1920, as 105,710. 620. divided: whites 94,820,915. Negro 10,463,131; this remainder being Indian, Chinese, Japanese and others. The number of paupers in almhouses on January 1, 1923, were whites, 72,336; Negroes, 5,511. The percentage showing according to each 100,000 of population was: whites, 76.3; Negroes, 527
Dividing the total white population into native and foreign born. the figures showed that that there were 81,108,161 native and 135,7754 foreign born whites in this country January 1, 1933, and that the almshouse occupants were 48,529 native and 23,807 foreign born whites. Thus gave a percentage of 59.8 for the native white as against 52.7 for the Negro, with the foreign-born white pauper forming a percentage of 173.6.
The percentage of almshouse occupants of the entire population was 73.9, just 2.4 less than that of the native white, and 212 more than that of the Negro. In all cases there were considerable reductions of the percentage as compared with the figures of 1910, with the Negro ratio being consistently less always, as per each 100,000 of same class, than the ratio of either the native or foreign born whites.

FORMER MINISTER OF LEGIONS EXPLAINS FURTHER AS TO DIFFERENCES THAT AROSE BETWEEN GARVEY AND HIMSELF OVER MONEY
Refers To Audacity of Leader's Request For Loan of $2,000. After Having Used Minister's Money For Three Years-Then Wanted Continued. Use Of It For Five Years Longer.
Marcus Garvey's U. N. J. A. convention has run its course through the month of August; but disclosures continue to be made showing a widespread disaffection among former officials and supporters of the President General and Provisional President of Africa.
The detection of Potentate Gabriel Johnson former Mayor of Monroe Liberia whose association with the Garvey movement afforded a direct connecting link with the most important Negro Republic in Africa, was based on a failure of the Potentate to receive his salary in a satisfactory manner as was told in Johnson's own statement published in The Age recently. Coupled with this was the alleged failure of Garvey to adequately provide for the proper maintenance of the men composing the crimes in which he had sent Liberia with great acclaim.
Being in this one of the most important of the American Monster of Legions, Gabriel Johnson of Los Angeles had a statement to The Age explaining why he had tendered his resignation, the fact that he considered reasonable demand upon Garvey for the loan of the period of five years. At the last time of The Age, Garvey accused directly of disobedience by Dr. Lionel Philadelphia, who served for two years as president of the Quaker City local office. Dr. Francis charged in this statement that Philadelphia members had been victimized. Garvey they had loaned Liberia had never been repaid.

"I did not carry out these mandates, considering them to be unreasonable and sinseleas, but I gave Mr. Weston the privilege of resigning. And for the good of the U. N. J. A. when the Division proved unable to pay the retiring president his back salary, I wrote my personal check for $96, adding $8 in cash, and paid Weston $104 to satisfy his claim against the U. N. J. A.
"In the letter received from Garvey, he asked me to remain in Cleveland until June 15, although a few days before he had called me from Chicago to New York. I stayed in Cleveland and lifted the foreclosure temporarily from the property. On Sunday night, June 15, I addressed the people and raised between $500 and $600 to pay on said foreclosure.
A Recapitulation
"On April 1, Garvey had my resignation; on May 30, he ordered me to New York; I left Chicago June 9, and on reaching Cleveland found a letter dated May 26-asking me to stay in Cleveland-until June 15; and on this day, in New York City at the U. N. I. A. headquarters. Garvey was writing the article which he published in The Negro World-declaring my position as Minister, of Legions vacant, although I had elected to office by the same body, under the same conditions, and on the same day, as had named him President General."
Captain Gaines, in a personal interview, stated to The Age that because of the defamatory nature of the publications made against him by his former chief, suit for $50,000 had been entered by him and the papers filed.

IN THIS BLOCK
Several Women Have Developed Business Enterprises—Prominent and Well Known Figures Live There.
Deep in the heart of the West Side; just off Central Park West is the most home-like settlement in Little Old New York. It is 99th street west of Columbus avenue.
To say that the residents of this one block are good citizens is obvious, but not because they are colored nor owing to the fact that in the one block are four religious institutions.
St. Judes' Church.
In number 19 is St. Jude's Episcopal Church which was founded 17 years ago at number 29 by Rev. J. W. Johnson, who is now pastoring St. Cyprian Church in 63rd street. A few years later Rev. Florada Howard, the present pastor, took up the work of Rev. Johnson; and the 99th Street Mission, which was holding services in his parlor, he has built up to occupancy of the magnificent new edifice he is pastoring today with its modern chapel, class rooms, day nursery, gymnasium, parsonage and other departments that belong to the institutional church.
St. John's Church.
Across the street in number 12 is St. John's Baptist Church of which Rev. W. M. Morris has been pastor for six years. The membership is large. They own the church site and operate an employment department which is conducted by Miss Mary Holt, the office secretary. Farther down the street in number 70 is the Unity Baptist Church of which Rev. H. C. Lewis is pastor. Rev. T. W. Wadsworth, residing in number 50, was at one time the pastor of Unity Church.
The Disciples of The Kingdom hold services in number 46 with Joseph Mose as their lecturer and metaphysician. He gives private instructions to anyone and does healing and the Lord knows what else.

STATEN ISLANDERS OBJECT TO NEGRO MOVING INTO HOME
Samuel Browne, Mail Carrier, Wife, A Teacher, Stir Whites By Buying Home In Castleton Hill Development.
White people living in the Castleton Hill section. Staten Island, are greatly wrought up cause Mr. and Mrs. Samuel A Browne, colored, and their four children, have purchased and moved into the house at 67 Fairview avenue, West New Brighton.
Before moving in, it is reported that the Browne's received a note signed by the Ku Klux Klan warning them not to do so. According to Mr. Browne, who turned the letter over to the officers of the Police Bomb Spad, the note said "If you move into that house on Fairview avenue, Castleton Hill, it will be the worse day's work you ever did. You may treat this lightly, but after you move in it will be too late. You should know better than to move where you are not wanted. Yrs for the flaming cross. K. K."
Mr. Browne moved in on July 4, regardless of the warning, and on Thursday, July 17, a crowd of forty persons paraded in front of the house and made a circuit of the property. Then on Monday of this week, about 3 a.m., a mob stoned the house, breaking two windows and the plate glass in the front door.
The colored family bought the house in February from the former white owner, paying $8,500. Immediately afterwards, L. M. Robertson, developer of the Castleton Hills real estate project, wanted to buy Browne out. The colored man who is a mail

Indianapolis, Ind. The very largest real estate transaction involving our group in this city was recently completed when the Madam C. J. Walker, Mfg. Company purchased the north-west corner of North street, West street and Indiana avenue for the sum of $88,000. This is a large property located in the heart of the business district, close to the world famed Soldiers and Sailors Monument and has a most commanding view of the three above named streets which intersect to and form six points. On this valuable carrier, offered to sell for $11,000, and the whites backed down.
Mrs. Browne is a teacher in Public School No. 11, Dongan Hills. S. I., said the house was bought to live in and not for speculation. The four children, it is said, will be the only Negro children in P. S. 29. The family formerly lived at 30 Metcalfe street, Stapleton. Since the stoning of the house, police guards have been established, and the alleged "K. K. K." letter is being investigated by Detective Kiley of the Bomb Squad.

For ten years she has cooperated with the progressive women of the race in religious work and social uplift. Though lacking academic training, she possessed a high degree of intelligence, and was full of the spirit of service and civic pride. I met Miss Winters three years ago. Since that time I have had the opportunity to know something about her social views, religious fervor and racial pride. She was one of the most lovable, most gentle and most interesting woman that I have ever met. God has created few women with souls finer than hers. She was a born conversationalist and a good entertainer. I know few women in her class who have the keen social perspective which she had. Though without education herself, she did what she could to assist and encourage other, to secure it. She spent money freely to assist some of her relatives in school.
Miss Winters has lived an active, unselfish life. She has done well, despite her lack of school training. She was blessed with what many modern women lack good common sense. May her soul rest in peace

"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
GARVEY SHOULD BE DEPORTED.
Further evidence of the growing of Garveyism to the peace of the community was furnished at a recent meeting of the United Negro Improvement Association, according to the testimony of a casual attendaht, who managed to obtain entrance without being called upon to prove his membership. This listener to the discussion that went on with Garvey in the chair, said that the subject of debate was the expidiency of the critic of the movement by outsiders. The manner of accomplishing this was uphoniously enraged as "putting them away."
That this expression carried with it the endorsement of violence, involving the killing of the offending parties, there seemed to be no room for doubt. Some of the speakers went so far as to name the individual critics of the movement, whose removal was deemed necessary to silence their tongues and type-writers. The fanaatic spirit which appeared animate these followers of Garvey, was tolerant and relentless in advocating this war of dealing with their enemies. And the black ruler in the chair, the so-called Provisional President of Africa," manifested desire to quell or diminish the ferocity displayed.
A minor exhibition of this spirit of intolerance and readiness to resort to violence is shown in a threat made to break the window of a newsdealer, where a copy of the Age was displayed, carrying the headline, "Says Garvey Is Dishonest." The wife of the newsdealer was so overcome by the heat made by some of these alien Garveyes, that she finally removed the offending order from the window.
These threats of a resort to violence, some only made and others voiced in the closed settings of the association, confirm the union stated in The Age several weeks, that Garveyism is a menace to the face of Harlem. So long as Garvey is allowed his liberty he will seek to stir strife and dissention, even to the point encouraging his followers to violate the law by suggestion of assassination. Garvey already been convicted of the misuse of mails in the interest of his schemes to the money from the public. The carrying of his sentence to prison has only been stayed by an appeal to a higher court the acceptance of bail for his appearance. Respective of whether his appeal is sued or not, the fact remains that Garvey is undesirable alien, whose influence and things are dangerous to the community, is an inciter to violence and law breaking, the purpose of raising funds to bolster his fantastic schemes. As we said before, should be deported with all of his alien. They have refused opportunities used them to become American citizens, it is questionable if they ever were of trial that would make good citizens.
Their aggressiveness and intolerance have been in proportion to the leniency shown in failing to punish their pretensions to abuse the law. If they are permitted to invoke their campaign of violence, they prove a rival to the Ku Klux Klan. Of Mr. Garvey approves

These threats of a resort to violence, some openly made and others voiced in the closed meetings of the association, confirm the opinion stated in The Age several weeks ago, that Garveyism is a menace to the peace of Harlem. So long as Garvey is allowed his liberty he will seek to stir up strife and dissention, even to the point of encouraging his followers to violate the law by suggestion of assassination. Garvey has already been convicted of the misuse of the mails in the interest of his schemes to raise money from the public. The carrying out of his sentence to prison has only been delayed by an appeal to a higher court and the acceptance of bail for his appearance.
Irrespective of whether his appeal is sustained or not, the fact remains that Garvey is an undesirable alien, whose influence and teachings are dangerous to the community. He is an inciter to violence and law breaking, for the purpose of raising funds to bolster up his fantastic schemes. As we said before, he should be deported with all of his alien crew. They have refused opportunities offered them to become American citizens, and it is questionable if they ever were of material that would make good citizens. Their aggressiveness and intolerance have grown in proportion to the leniency shown them in falling to punish their pretensions to rise above the law. If they are permitted to continue their campaign of violence, they will prove a rival to the Ku Klux Klan, of which Mr. Garvey approves
AN IRREPRESSIBLE ISSUE
upite all the attempts to keep the Ku Klan out of the National campaign. it come to be one of the leading issues and all the candidates have been obliged to be a stand, for or against it. The last mission on this subject came from the politician candidate for Vice President, Dawes, but it was so inconclusive in character as to make it necessary that did and courageous declaration as to plan should be forthcoming from the source, the candidate for President. (coldus himself)
Despite all the attempts to keep the Ku Klux Klan out of the National campaign, it has come to be one of the leading issues and nearly all the candidates have been obliged to take a stand, for or against it. The last expression on this subject came from the Republican candidate for Vice President, Gen Dawes, but it was so inconclusive in its character as to make it necessary that a candid and courageous declaration as to the Klan should be forthcoming from the proper source, the candidate for President, Calvin Coulidge himself.
Let us review the utterances of the other candidates. Senator La Follette declared that he was "unalterably opposed to the student purpose of the secret organization
known as the Ku Klux Klan, as disclosed by its public acts. "What is clear enough to be understood, even if the speaker did not claim it related to the vital issue of his campaign Mr. Davis, the Democratic candidate, in his reluctant slaughter of the Klan, made it conditional and dependent, 'If any organization, no master what it chooses to be called, whether Ku Klux, or by any other name.'" Gen. Dawes confined his discussion of the Klah to those States in which, according to him, the organisation "represents only an instinctive groping for leadership, moving in the interest of law enforcement, which they do not find in many cowardly politician and office holders." After this apologetic preface, the General was forced to admit that it is not the right way to forward law enforcement. Gen. Dawes confined his examples of this kind of Klan action to the States of Oklahoma, and Illinois. The examples of klaf atrocities revealed in the courts of Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and other States were totally ignared. Evidently Gen. Dawes does not know much about the Ku Klux Klan.
The ignorance of his partner on the Presidential ticket thus forces upon President Coolidge the burden of a pronouncement against the lawless methods of the Klan both North and South. As the President has not hesitate to put himself on record as to the enforcement of the law and the upholding of the Constitution, against other enemies, it is not to be considered for a moment that he will quail before the Ku Klux Klan. Let him speak out fearlessly, as the Negro voters of the country are waiting to hear him.
LOOKING UP THE STATE
The counties outside of New York are looked upon to furnish the larger of the vote to elect Republican ticket to State and National, hence the reason so many Governors have come from the per part of New York State. The county counties are not lacking in ripe gubernatorial timber at any time, but with debatable centered in the large cities. it is expedited a year like the present, that the State should be headed by a personality that will appeal to city voters.
The numerous names that recently cropped up in upper New York State possible candidates for the Governorship, probably well-known to the people of section, carry but scant meaning to voters of Greater New York. These we need to have their ears opened by the section of a familiar name, which means something to them. They need to be are by the name of a fighting candidate, a who is known for his aggressive qualification whether the enemy is the German invader of France, or the millionaire breaker of prohibition laws.
The voters of all parties respect a lighter, such as we have described, who locates obedience to the law so long remains on the statute books, and who prepared to prosecute all breakers or whether they are rich or poor, foreign or have born. That is why the name of the William Hayword seemed the strongest most appropriate to head the State this year. His career in office is United States Attorney has gained the respect of those who favor law enforcement. Record in civil and military life has from favorable reports wherever his name mentioned.
His choice as a candidate for Governor would bring out the largest vote ever poured a Republican candidate in New York, while the voters up the State code depended upon to do their full duty. Looking up the State, we can see candidate who would be his equal in voting qualities. The leaders of the party will do well to concentrate upon Col. Hard as the standard bearer.

WOMAN'S PARTY CONVERTED
Miss Alice Paul is one of the leaders a prominent official of the Woman's Party organization which did much to aid the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, much gave the vote to the women of the country. One of the unwritten rules of the organization appeared to be to ignore as impossible the existence of colored women.
Miss Alice Paul is one of the leaders and a prominent official of the Woman's Party, an organization which did much to aid in the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, which gave the vote to the women of this country. One of the unwritten rules of the organization appeared to be to ignore as far as possible the existence of colored women as eligible voters. This sentiment was carried so far as to attempt to bar the colored women as delegates at the convention held in Washington, a year or two ago, and to deny them a hearing on the floor after they had gained entrance, to which they were entitled.
According to the statements made at the time, by some of these delegates whose admission was opposed, Miss Paul was one of the leaders of the movement to exclude them. Her opposition to their entrance on the floor and to their being accorded a hearing was both bitter and determined. It is therefore a surprise to find a letter written by Miss Paul and published in the New York World last Thursday, in which she stated that in the Woman's Party there is "absolutely no discrimination with regard to race, creed or nationality." This letter was written to correct a misapprehension concerning the incident which
occurred at the grave of Inez Allholland a few weeks ago, where John E. Millholland, father, voiced his protest against the exclusion of two colored speakers from the memorial program. Among other things Miss Paula stated in her letter that, as the urgent request of a number of who family, it was arranged to have no speakers at the grave. But the important point of her letter was as follows:
The Woman's Party is made up of women of all races, creeds, and nationalities, who are united on the one program of working to raise the status of women. In our organization there is absolutely no discrimination with regard to race, creed or nationality. We had planned to have speakers on this occasion, this question of the
have been considered in selecting them."
The conversion of the Woman's Party, as voiced by Miss Paul, to this broad program of equal rights and justice for all women, without racial discrimination, is to be hailed as a great advance over the attitude maintained at its convention in Washington. While such sudden conversions are not always lasting, we trust that this one will be permanent and that its effect will be apparent in the next convention.
Mr. Millholland's touching words of protest at the grave of his daughter evidently had an affect but little anticipated.
DOES THE WALKER LAW MEAN ANYTHING?
As in other states of the Union, the Attorney General of the State of New York is the chief interpreter of its laws, and his decision is 'binding until overruled by the courts.' The present occupant of that office, Attorney General Carl Sherman, in a statement issued last week, declared that the mere existence of the Ku Klux Klan in this State constitutes a crime and calls for prosecution by the district attorneys of the counties where it may be found.
The reason for this opinion was based on the terms of the Walker bill passed by the Legislature in 1923, under which the klan was required to file in the office of the Secretary of State a list of its membership. No such list has been filed, although the klan is reported to be an active organization in several of the counties. The effort made by the klan to evade the provisions of the Walker bill were outlined by the Attorney General in the New York World, as follows: "About a year after the enactment of the Walker law, there were filed with the Secretary of State alleged certificates of incorporation in behalf of the organizations known as the Ku Klux Klan and Kamelia, the latter being a women's associated society.
"The Walker Law, provides that within thirty days after it took effect certain-secret societies were required to file with the Secretary of State complete lists of membership. It seems that certain counsel were of opinion that if the Klan organizations could incorporate under the Membership Corporation Law within the thirty-day period they would be absolved from the necessity, of compiling with the Walker law decision.
"Upon examination by my department of the so-called Klan certificates of incorporation, it developed that Mr. Justice Pierce of Buffalo certified that the certificates as filed with the Secretary of State were altered to a different form from that presented to the Justice.
"Upon this evidence to be declared void the Attorney. General brought suit in the Supreme-Court of Albany County to declare nuu and void these two certificates of the Klan organization. Mr. Justice Staley held with the State and ordered the certificates to be declared void. "After the time the appeal from the court order expired, such order was absolutely final. Neither branch of the Klan has incorporated under the laws of the State of New York. "Such secret organizations are requlified under the Walker law to file membership lists with the Secretary of State. If organizations of this character exist and have not complied with the law, that constitutes a crime which is the subject of prosecution on the part of the District Attorneys.
In view of this opinion of the Attorney General the district attorneys of certain counties in this state have been derief in their duties. About a month ago the klan was reported to have held a convention and parade in the suburbs of Blinghamton, but instead of any attempt at prosecution by the district attorney of Broome county, it was related that the State troopers were engaged in guarding the klansmen from justly indignant citizens. Various activities of the klans have been published from different parts of Long Island, but the district attorneys of Suffolk and Nassau counties have done nothing.
The Walker law does not seem to mean anything to the prosecuting officials of the various counties in New York State where the klan is reported to be active. The obligation of these officials to prosecute all law breakers seems to have been absolved in this case. The fact that the Governor can remove them for derelection of duty does not seem to spur them to action. Despite the Attorney General's opinion, the question whether the Walker law means anything remains unsolved.
The people of Savannah have been in the midst of a drive for funds to properly care for delinquent girls and indigent old folk. In emphasizing the necessity for generous support of this movement the Savannah Tribune said:
It is not the big donations which are going to make this drive succeed or fail, it is the small donations which are going to determine the character of the end of this drive. The general appeal is not being made for any specific of money, but for any amount which one feels able to give. There are but few of us who can give sums ranging in the three figures, but there are thousands who are able to help this cause by donating smaller amounts.
The cause which this drive is conceived to help is most vital to our well-being. The outcome of this campaign will show whether or not we have reached the stage where we recognize fully our responsibility to those among us who cannot care for themselves. It will be an awful indictment if we shall not be able to point to the successful conclusion of this drive. We can do it, if we only put our shoulders to the wheel—all of us—and give unintentionally in this campaign.
It is the widening of this sense of responsibility for the care of the helpless that is most needed among the race. It is well to drive this need home in a popular campaign like the one in Savannah.
In an article on fraternal orders and their mission, the Birmingham Reporter pointed out some of their benefits and dangers, as follows
Fraternal orders, as they exist among Negro people, have meant much to race progress and offered a forum for expression and activity that no other institution has given. Added to the strong tie of brotherhood, charity and benevolence, they have helped to develop and prepare men for noble expression. They are still adding many thousands of people throughout the Southland to save and help at the hour when protection and aid are most needed. The fraternalities should maintain the fundamental principles and spurn any effort to detract from their noble purpose and their sacred mission. In the fraternal order may be found scavengers, traffers, crooks and robbers. When it is discovered, and they can be without power to allilf search, they should go to the eway of criminals and be subjected to the lausit of nation, made primarily and specifically for the government of society.
The necessity for placing honeys and capable men in office in such organizations and insisting upon such business safeguards as surety bonds and auditing of accounts by competent accountants, has frequently been advised by The Age. Loose and careless methods in the handling of the money of others are apt to lead to speculation or peculation, or both.
*The Christian Recorder of Philadelphia*, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, claims that the A. M. E. Book Concern is the oldest. Negro business corporation in America. It supported this claim as follows:
This was organized in 1816 by Richard Allen, the founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1817 it published the "Book of Doctrines and Disciples of the African Methodist Episcopal Church," which has been revised nearly every four years since and published by the same Book Concern. But it was not until 1855 that the Book Concern was incorporated under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania to do a publishing and printing business, particularly of religious literature. At that time the Christian Recorder was printed under the auspices of the Book Concern of the A. M. F. Church, having been established in 1852. This is today the oldest Negro newspaper in America. At the time the Book Concern was established as well as when the Christian Recorder was established the great mass of colored people was in slavery. Book a great deal of vision for the African Methodists to start a newspaper and publishing house among an illiterate people. But it was only a few years later when they also started a university at Witheboro, Ohio, also before slavery was abolished in this country—another evidence of prophetic vision.
The vitality and progressiveness of this century old business are shown by the announcements that a new site for a larger and more commodious building has been purchased.

Perhaps the most important bill in Judge Park's mind was the one "To make it unlawful to appoint as commissioned or non-commissioned officers in the army or navy of the United States any person of the Negro race." The Judge, in the introduction of this bill, was either so prejudiced that he was able to prejudice that his bill was in direct confrontation of the constitution of the United States and the war defined policy of the army and the war it was a simple attempt to throw dust in the eyes of some of his constituents, whom he thought were seeing things through the same dark glasses that he wore

A Glorious Record
John Louis Hill Commends Milholland For Utterance In Behalf of Negro Race
The utterance of John F. Milholland at the grave of his daughter, the late Tiez Milholland (Mrs Eugene Boissevain) on the occasion of the tribute to her memory by the Women's National Party, with regard to the right of the Negro to take part in the service because of the consistent and unchangable stand of Miss Milholland in favor of equal rights for all, has brought many letters of commendation and approval to the brave and courageous man who was not afraid to protest an unjust and uncalled for discrimination against the colored men and women who had made the long journey to his mountain home to join in memorializing the dead woman's life and activities.

The Changed Attitude..
(From Statesville, N. C. Daily)
The disposition of the Greenville Negro charged with killing Polhemus Monroe is marked evidence of the change of attitude toward female and the change of method in disposing of all along when he was fatally shot, but the circumstance indicated that the man was fired, probably without warning by some one who had cause to attack an officer. The circumstances of the killing and the effect that the victim was an officer, aggravated the officer. There is little doubt that the Negro Davis, arrested last year, the murdered but as there, was a clear case of burglarly, a capital imprisonment against Davis, he was at first tried on that. In court the defendant is impressed practically everybody with his mental weakness that Judge Bryson, preceded, accepted a submission for a more degree burglarly and sentenced on merit to life imprisonment, with the observation that if under investigation, it is decided that the prisoner is of sufficient mental intelligence to know right from wrong he is to be returned to Guilford court and put on trial for the murder of the policeman. A few years ago that have been impossible. The feeling would have been, that, regardless of his mental status, one who committed an atrocious crime did not deserve to live; that the public safety could only be injured by his death. That comment has by no means disappeared especially in the case of Negroes but that persons mental responsibility should not a. put to death has become sufficiently strong to save even friendly Negroes. While the question as to whether it would not be better all round, put such jobs as the Greensboro Negro out of the way when they are found open to a capital crime is still open to all join-minded people will be able to know that the human feeling that would have those believed to be merely an responsible is embracing the poor and friendless as well as the promoter and inviolent. There will be morepathy with that attitude when it is trapped for all alike. -Stateville Davis
Getting Near To The Klan Issue
President Coolidge strikes straught from the shoulder at the suggestion of a new York citizen that influences he brought to prevent a Negro from running in the Republican primary of the 19th Congressional District. He amused to receive such a letter. He says that a colored man is present as much entitled to submit his candidacy a party primary as any other candidate. He votes for the voters in the primary to pass up that and all other candidates and for nobody else. As for him<sup>1</sup>:
Our Constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens, without discrimination on account of race or color. I have taken my cue to support that Constitution. It is the source of your rights, my rights. I propose to regard my rights, administer it as the source of the rights of all the people, whatever their belief or race
This may be taken as define the President's position in relation to the Ku-Kluwer and their prosocial activities on account of race or color or religion. The letter he answers breathes their spirit perfectly. It would apply one of their race hates and excuses very precisely. And the rebuke it brings is well merited. But it remains for the PUresident to as what he thinks of organizations which work secretly or otherwise, at primaries and elections after candidates have beenmitted to deter them on any ground.

It Would Seem So, Since a Pain of Monogrammed Silk Hose Said To Have Been Worn By Her Majesty and Presented to Fisk Juddie Sisters In England Recently Bear Such Evidence of Wear.
The return to this country of the Fisk University Jubilee Singers after a concert tour through Great Britain during the past summer brings to light the interesting fact that the late Queen Victoria who reigned over the destinies of that "tight little sle for many years, wore silk stockings with holes in them, in controvertible proof of this fact is produced by the Rev. Jane A Myers, leader of the Fisk singing hand, who is exhibiting with unctuous pride the silk stockings in question.
In the "doubling Thomases" have any desire to raise an interrogatory eyebrow, the advice is given them herewith and now. For Mr. Myers will quickly satisfy the most hypocritical is to the validity of the former ownership of the "hosiery wives" by stating that his authority as to its original source is now other than one of England's best known gentlewomen, and all question is eliminated by the fact that the stockings have woven into them the late Queen Victoria's royal monogram.
The gentlewoman who possessed this priceless memento heard the Fisk folks sing, and she remembered that the original Fisk Inblee Singers had sung for Her Royal Majesty during the early 70s and again in 1884, and that their singing had brought England's great woman sovereign the most delightful pleasure. So hard as it was to part with the silken hosen, and realizing that the hole in one of the heels but lent a picturesque interest, she handled over the royal foot covering to Mr. Myers and Bade him shine them in the archives of Fisk.
Needless to say that the command will be obeyed.
It must not be thought that this pair of silk stockings, one having a hole in the heel, was the only Victoriana brought back to America by the present group of Fiskites. In common with Roland Hayes the great Negro tenor, the Fisk singers also journeyed to royal command to Windsor Castle and sang the Negro "Songs of Sorrow" in the chapel there before the reigning monarch their family and court.
Victoria had liked best of all the Negro Spirituals, and plaintive song of entreaty
"Swing Low Sweet Chariot.
Coming For to Carry Me Home."
Mr. Myers and his modern Israfels sang this song for King George the grandson of Queen Victoria, and Mary, the Queen of England. After thus singing at Windsor Castle, the Fisk singers were called upon by Albert Bailie, dean of the castle, a godson of Her Majesty the late Queen Victoria, who pre-terted to Fisk University, with Queen Mary's compliments, a trust of England's greatest woman ruler.
Additional significance is lent to these gifts through the fact that this summer's tour of Great Britain by Mr Meyers and his companions from Fisk is the first that a Fisk group has made in forty years—the last having been the one of 1884. And the singer-state that this trip was made possible through the generosity and cooperation of Mr Joseph Riter of London, who heard the private company sing down at Palm Beach Fla. and who took upon himself the task of arranging for their making the foreign tour this past summer.
Besides the private audition at Windsor Castle, the Negro tubbe singers sang by special invitation also in Paris, and at the London home of Lady Nancy Aster, the American woman who was the first of her sex to enter as a member of England's House Parliament.
Lady Astor entertained the singers at a special dinner prior to the recital and among her guests were the American and Belgian Ambassadors to the Court of St. James, the Dufle and Duchies of Devonshire: the Secretary of State for the Colonies: the Governor of Jerusalem, Winston Churchill, England's great statesman and Louis Wiley of the New York Times. Lone Astor also gave her autographed photograph to the Fesrur up as did Lord Salisbury.
Lone Astor also gave her autographed photograph to the Fesrur up as did Lord Salisbury.
From a strictly musical point of view, reports are to the effect that a group of singers revealed a new understanding of the Negro Spirituals to English audiences. Following the authoritative interpretations of these songs by Roland Hayes, who had them a sympathetic and appreciative consideration, many singers on English concert stages had added Spirituals to their repertoire. Without any conception as to what the music these alien singers had adapted and arranged them to their own sweet wills—the sad results in many cases on anything but "sweet."
Mr Myers and his singers reached England early in May, just in the height of the English musical season. They gave works in the Coliseum and Acoulan Hall, London, and at Bourne-Margate and a number of other towns. Let Mr Myers sing in his own words of the manner of success achieved by group. He says:
"For the first time in forty years we gave England a chance to hear these Spirituals in all their simplicity of melody and melody and rhythm as they were sung by one of our race in camp meetings and on the plantation. The comment of the music writers on our first concert in London reflects the enthusiasm which all our audiences showed and explains the many evidences of interest and goodwill which we have brought back to Fisk."
The reference to Mr. Myers to comments by music writers is treated by excerpts from two reviews appearing in important London journals. In the Daily Telegraph there appeared several.
The occasions are indeed few and far between when one may truthfully describe an artist or a group of artists being incomparable the visit of these wonderful singers has given the critic that opportunity and justification.
"We have had all sorts of interpretations of these traditional songs, ranging from the serious to the flip-pant, and we have accepted them all with more or less, open arms. But singers will find us more critical in the future, for now we know."
And so Queen Victoria's silk stockings, with the hole in the heel of one, her portrait, and the autographed photographs of other celebrities will be added to the Fisk collection, while the singers take up in October another tour of the United States; counting February in Florida, as usual.

MUSICAL COLUMN
Every patron wants the best musicians and entertainers when they need MUSICAL SERVICES for ENTERTAINMENT, regardless of the PRICES, and most of the musicians and entertainers want the BEST prices for MUSICAL SERVICES, regardless of the KIND of musical services rendered, because they need the MONEY. Americans will pay any PRICE for the MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT they want and in Greater New York, the musician-entertainer has the greatest OPPORTUNITY in all history to SOLIDIFY an entertainment BUSINESS of his OWN, that will COMMAND GREATER RESPECT for our entire MUSICAL GROUP. There are TWO ways for musical combinations to make a regular BUSINESS of entertaining and make MONEY. One IS—GET A Few ENGAGEMENTS AT A HIGH PRICE-AND LARGE PROFITS ON EACH ENGAGEMENT.
This CAN be done with NOVELTIES, and with RARE and EXCEPTIONAL or SUPERB COMBINATIONS.
The OHER way is to GET A GREAT MANY ENGAGEMENTS A SMALL PROFIT ON EACH. The later is the SAFE and SOUND and SUREST way to a bigger and better BUSINESS, since WE ARE ALL PULLING OARS IN THE SAME BOAT—the BEST and OTHERWISE ALL WANT HIGH PRICES.
HIGH STANDARDS OF MUSICAL SERVICES rendered at PRICES to cover the entire COST of PRODUCTION plus a PROFIT that will allow EXPANSION will keep MORE MUSICAL COMBINATIONS going in the BEST DIRECTION
COMBINATION LEADERS MUST BE ALSO TEACHERS. LEADERS MUST STAND IN THE OPEN. TEACH THE LOVE OF FAIR DEALING, RIGHT LIVING and TRUE MUSICIANSHIP
It is gratifying to note that as an EDUCATIONAL factor MUSIC LEADERS are UNSURPASSED—HENCE the MUSUNDERSTANDINGS until music leaders find themselves. Leaders of musicians and entertainers must have the high minded desire to Cultivate thrift in their unit combinations. Sincere, Genuine representation is all that is needed to produce the BEST for the BEST. The musician or entertainer who practices TRICKS is sure to be TRICKED, for he hardly ever fails to turn JUST one TRICK TOO MANY
THE PULLMAN PORTERS
By JAMES H. HOGANS.
September marks the beginning of the end of summer travel for the year 1924. It also means the returning of our porter-student body to their respective colleges and schools, in a few more weeks. Many of these young men have been working for the Pullman service, during vacation period, ever since their matriculation in their different schools. For others this year has been their first a Pullman porters. All of them have been laboring strenuous, to acquire funds with which to continue their schooling. Among the porter-student body there are a few who will count the passing season their last, as summer porters and winter students, for this term is their final one at school and they entertain hopes of entering on the careers for which they have been trained. These students carry with them the sincere wishes for success of all the veteran porters who have noted their struggles in their efforts to gain an

education. If there is any particular group or class of young men who rightly deserve to be successful in the things for which they have toiled year after year, it is this porter-student group. They not only have to work hard, but must make sacrifices and practise much self-denial. In order to meet their school expenses. We came in personal contact with several types of this class of self-abnegation. One in particular which comes to our minds is that of a student who attends Shaw University. This young man has been working as porter-student for the past three years. He doesn't maintain a room in a private family, as many of the other students do, but stays in the Pulman-Porter's Home, which is a habitat for porters who are away from their home districts, whenever he is not on the road, which is very sedent, he denies himself all superfluous pleasures and amusements, even to the inevitable motion picture shows.
He says that the money which he might spend seeing a picture show will help pay for some of the books he'll need this winter. The motion pictures and other alurements, he says, can wait for his indulgence until he has fulfilled school. There are others among these young men who come in the summer and go in the winter, who have the same sort of perseverance as the one we mentioned.
With these examples as illustrations of pluck and determination to make something of themselves, when we read what some of our racial thinkers have to say on "The young Negro" and his lack of ambition and energy, we view it with unconcern, for we know they are not familiar with the subject.

"Life's New Privilege."
When "Old New York was young" there was not the "facility for prolonging the life of an individual that there is today. Epidemics were common. Smallpox took many lives and marked with disgusting scars the faces and bodies of those who escaped the worst result of this disease. Diptheria was a sporeg and scarlet fever and the other infectious diseases took heavy toll among children. Infant mortality was high and the average span of life was lower than it is today.
In these days, attention has been focused not only upon the discovery of new methods and means of combating disease but upon preventing disease and maintaining health. We have, for example, the vaccine against smallpox, and the Shick Test and the toxin-antitoxin to prevent and the antitoxin to cure diphtheria; the X-ray and radium for diagnostic and curative purposes; insulin for diabetes—all these and many other such things are at our hand today. We have, also, better trained dentists, and other auxiliary "health agents" are the growth of comparatively recent years. Babies are getting better care and mothers are in safer hands than they were years ago.
The happiest development of modern times is the desire and ability to prevent illness. Instead of waiting for the disease to arise, with all its penalty of suffering and sorrow, people are turning to doctors and health agencies, for advice as to how living should be conducted, that is, the hygiene of the body and the sanitation of living quarters, etc.
Unfortunately, initiative in these matters is left largely to health agencies and the schools. The time has come when the fathers and mothers must realize their responsibility and their privilege in maintaining health in each member of the family group.

While doctors and health centres and the teachers in the schools shall continue to have their opportunity to spread correct information as to how to live healthfully and long; more and more must the important work be done in the home by the most vitally interested ones—the parents.
To proylde, a root and food, for the children brought into the world is, but one small part of the privilege of parents. They can give strong bodies and health which is unbroken by the onslaught of diseases of all sorts. It is life's new privilege to be able to safeguard one's family from sickness and from the grief which goes with it. Fathers and mothers should be fearful of this opportunity and not leave the matter to outsiders, for no matter how much they can do, parents can exceed them in this service.
AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE
"Wanderer of the Wasteland," a Zane Grey production, directed by Irwin Willat and featuring Jack Holt Kathryn Williams, Noah Beery and Billie Dove, comes to the Lincoln on Thursday next to remain for four days. You've heard about the wonderful colorful photography in Cecil DeMille's "The Ten Commandments"? Well, this one is done entirely in col. There's not a black and white sequence throughout the length of the film: Think of it! Even if it weren't for the great story it really is, you should go see this picture just for the novelty of the thing. Remember, it's the very first really practical all-color production to be shown on the screen anywhere. But it's more than, just a novelty—much more. It's Zane Grey's greatest story brought to life. They say you can even see the different shades of sunburn on the player!

THE NEGRO NATIONAL MEDICAL ASS'N HELD SESSION AT HAMPTON
29th Annual Meeting Is Attended By 600 Physicians Dentists and Pharmacists President's Address. Hampton Institute, Va. The twenty ninth annual session of the National Medical Association held here August 26 to 29 was attended by more than 600 physicians, pharmacists and dentists.
Dr C. A. Eaton, of Newport News, chairman of the local committee called the convention to order in Clark Hall. The retiring president, Dr John O. Plumber of Raleigh N.C., was introduced by Dr C. A. Dunston, dentist, or Raleigh and delivered his annual address at the morning session. On Tuesday night a public meeting was held in Ogden Hall, at which time the mayor of Hampton, J. V. Bickford, delivered an address welcoming the body to the city. Dr. James E. Gregg president of Hampton Institution, and Dr. W. W. Bird of Norfolk, welcomed the medicos on behalf of the school and the profession, respectively
President Plummer's annual address attracted much favorable comment. After paying tribute to Armstrong, Frissell, Huntington and Ogden, he took occasion to remind his colleagues of the great social responsibility resting upon them. Interesting developments of the past year centered around Negro migration and the opening of the Veteran Hospital at Tuskegee. The address, then took up the questions of public health service and the need of a larger body of trained men in the medical professions to serve the needs of the race. Said Dr. Plummer:

It requires us highly endowed intellect as school to learn or appreciate to understand its temptations to logical, and to keep clear the must of fact and fancy, a wonderful thing when concern is brain nurtured in the ways and the most necessary needs in pursuing it is common.

ted by a well known interior decorator and all new hardwood furnitures has been installed. Here the needs of the better class of Hastemites who dine out, can be simply cared for as there are more than ability tables which are provided over by a courteous and efficient corp. of waiters. Mr. Tabb has long been considered one of the most successful business men in Hastem and employs twenty men in cooks and waiters in his three Lenox restaurants.
Of all the sciences, medicine is in a class by itself. Not only does it seek to portray, truth, but it definitely has to with maintaining God's greatest pieces of mechanism, physical and mental man, the storeroom of His Own Life and loves, that He might make better humanity and continue in the establishment of His kingdom upon the earth. No one questions the sacred relations held by the professional man, in the estimation of our Creator from the very beginning. We were always found with Himin counsel in high places and were sent to render service, to solve problems, and to make better the state of man in every way. To-day that same sacred obligation is upon our shoulders and I want to congratulate myself upon being the president of a group that gives to the world such noble lives of selfishness, strength of character, and willing-sacrifice as those of the men composing this organization.
Standardising Schools
Then is if not our duty to seek and encourage only those young men and women who have brains, preparation, and character to enter our ranks? The commission deserves great credit for the good results brought about through its meetings with the leading educators of our race schools. Each year for the last few years meetings have been held at Nashville with the result that almost all our colleges, and high schools are making every effort possible to standardize, their work. Our program is to have school that give the A.B. and B.S. degrees but that do not offer strong high schools courses to cut down to what they really have and get credit for that and that only, so that students will not suffer loss of money and time upon entering other schools.
One of the greatest opportunities afforded the men in dentistry, surgery, and medicine to demonstrate their skill and unselfish desire to serve humanity is the hospital. There, without so much molestation, they may show forth their common sense judgment, their knowledge and efficiency. The hospital also affords a more healthy environment to the patient, from the standpoint, of care, discipline, diet and treatment; and this holds true, regardless of one's home environment. The lack of hospital facilities among the people of our group is deplorable. The tenement conditions under which so great a number live seemingly make and, in instances, do make successful treatment impossible.
Men Deserve - Credit
Just here, however, I feel justified in going off on a tangent to say that great credit and commendation are due our men who are able to carry their hospital training and efficiency into such surroundings, improving them to the enlightenment, comfort, and benefit of their patients. It has required and still will require much effort to bring about on the part of our patients a proper appreciation of the advantages of hospital treatment. Our well regulated and modernly equipped hospitals, with their honest and competent staffs, are rendering signal service in educating our people to the need and advantage of hospital treatment. Even though hospital development among us as a group is in its infancy, it has been an inspiration to visit many of the buildings we have and to note the wonderful service they are giving suffering humanity.
I often wish that some of our large financial organizations that tend to function for the betterment and advancement of health conditions could see the need and opportunity to help our hospital program, regardless of whether the hospital is, private, charity, or community. The only question is, is the hospital functioning properly and is it doing good service in health development? I brand the man as an assassin who uses his influence to cripple, retard, or defeat the development or existence of any hospital so long as it is properly managed and gives results. The greatest discouragement we meet with in this end of our program is the lack of appreciation on the part of our laymen so that they do not in as large numbers as they should make much sacrifice to support them. Once in a while we find something named "hospital," with poor staff and inequate equipment, trying to commercialize human life.
The Veteran's Hospital
Our achievement of achievements was the realizing of our program for the United States Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala. The success of this effort has given us a status we long deserved but never enjoyed. It has inspired our men who for years past preached organized effort. It has given us an opportunity to prove to the world that the pharmacists, dentists, and physicians composing our organization are women of calibre, training, judgment, loyalty, conviction, and character, handed together not only for the health development of humanity but for the rights and fair dealings of all the people in this country of ours.
people in this country.
If there be any who doubt this truth, we reflect them to the fearless and many way those enforced with this program by this Association carried the fight into the channels of this government—even to the highest official of the government. The President of our country. All appeals and requests were made with dignity and common-sense, but never once with lack of courage; also with the assurance that we represented the manhood and womanhood if a race that believes in full rights and square dealing for all citizens, and whose members, so long as they have breath to breathe, will contend for and demand justice and fair play for all citizens, whether they

Tribute to Negro Press
I want to express the appreciation of this Association to all other factors and groups that assisted in the program. Individuals, organizations, and the press stood hand in hand with us, and without such help our, effort would have miscarried. I must single out the Negro Press, and give it credit for the great and splendid fight it made.
The Negro Press has taken its places in this country as the moulder of sentiment and the mouthpiece of the race, and the sooner we appreciate the fact, and give it the support we should, the sooner every Negro boy and girl will
become more intelligent on racial elf-
fort, feel that they have some services
to render, and be inspired to fight for
the rights of their people and protest
against all things discriminating and unfaith

DEAREST SISTERS
I feel very jotune. Won't someone write to the column? It has been an age since I have preached a sermon. My subject will be
PREPARE ME
"During the world war, President Wilson issued a proclamation similar to this: America can no longer remain neutral. He went through talks: vast country of tours rang out this one word: Prepare.
America did go to war, and thousands of blooded Americans who loved their country and fellowmen were abloughed like cattle because they lacked preparedness.
But you say, what has this ot to do with me? I am not going to war. Surely you are not predicting another? Yes, there is a war going on continually; ever since 'ian was created; there 'ian has been a war between Ignorance and Intelligence. No one wants to be called ignorant.
The boy and girl in the factory, the woman over the wash tub, the man at his industry, all can have a vision of some day becoming great.
ROYAL GARDEN—The old gang is coming back, at the old pleasure spot. Wednesday night, Johnny Carey, proprietor of The Next, requested the entertainers to remain at his table as long as the sporting blood was coursing through his veins. Almyst they morning the two Shebias from "The Chocolate, Dandies," Misses Jane Griffman and Mae Fortune, can be seen under the red rose arbor if the proprietor, Jerry Preston is on duty. The place has become a proper Monday morning rendezvous.
DICK JENKINS—Whether it, be novelties or a change of faces, one is sure to be pleased with the songs of Joe Brooks, who heads the floor revue. Sweet voiced Hazel Palmer and dalyne Mable Hernandez are really delightful.
The late Madison Walker, who was the wealthiest colloid woman in the United States, had her vision over the wash tub. Booker T. Washington had many a hard struggle through life, but he did succeed and left as a memorial that great Turtlegee Institute. If these and many others succeeded to can you, God has endowed you with the same powers. Your future is your own making. Hear the call, Prepare yel
Have we not all, amid life's petty strife
Some pure ideal of a nobler life That once seemed possible?
Have we not heard the flutter of its wings
And felt it near? It was and yet
We lost it in the daily jar and freet
And now live idly in a vain regret,
And yet our place is kept, and, it wjll
wait
Readily for us to fill it, soon or late,
No star is ever lost we once have seen
And we always may be what we
might have been—(Selected).
