SUPPORT ROBERTS
A large and enthusiastic assemblage of voters, men and women, of Harlem, made at Abyssinian Baptist Church, West 138th street, Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor, on last Sunday afternoon to greet Congressman L. C. Dyer, pastor of the Dyer and Lymbining Bill. The meeting was held by the member of the Roberts' Campaign Committee.
Congressman Dyer was introduced to the gathering by former Congressman Martin C. Ansorge, who had been floor manager in Congress for the Dyer Bill when it came up for passage in the last session. It was largely through the work of Mr. Ansorge that the Bill was passed by the House.
Col. Charles W Fillmore introduced ex-Congressman Ansorge to the audience in a fine speech.
Mr Dyer held the close and concentrated on the issue of assistance for more than an hour, urging upon the men and women their great duty to not only vote in the forthcoming election, but to vote to send Dr Charles H Roberts to the U. S. Congress. He pleaded eloquently for the election of the men named by the Republicans of New York, and for the reelection of President Coolidge Congressman Dyer was given an ovation.

YOUNG ARTHUR FUNN,
NEGRO HIGH SCHOOL
PUPIL, WINS PRIZE
Taking the winning of the 1924 World Series by the Washington baseball club of the American League, and the pitching of Walter Johnson, the famous veteran of that team, in the recent contests with the New York Giants of the National League, as his theme, Arthur L. Funn, 21. of 392 Carlton avenue, Brooklyn, won first prize in the New York World's "Biggest News of the Week" competition the first time he made an attempt.
Young Funn is a rephew of Arthur Q. Martin, the undertaker, who is his guardian, the boy's parents being dead. He is a native of Richmond, Va., and came to Brooklyn five years ago.
He is a student in the Brooklyn Evening High School at night, and works during the day as a clerk in the Brooklyn office of the City Tenement House Department.
When handed the $20 check, representing the first prize for last week's competition, Arthur said that he noticed that his school had only ten points in contest and he entitles it to see if he could win a $100 gift in standing. He raised it just 100 points.
Funn can take an evening course at City College after graduating from high school next June! He is desirous of beginning a teacher, he says, and he devotes much time to reading and the study of English. His teacher requires essays from the pupils at frequent intervals, and so Funn is getting special training in the way of putting his thoughts into written form.
SLICK TRICK BEING WORKED IN HARLEM BY SHREWD FELLOW
The latest trick being played upon unsuspecting citizens is one now being practised by a smartly dressed young man who is selling alleged gunman's permits for the small sum of $1.50.
He approached A ( Upton, candy storekeeper at 2225 Fifth avenue on Monday morning with a tale that sounded too good to be true, but Mr Upton did not think to consult a policeman until after the man had been gone for several hours
The proposition was the cooperation of citizens and policemen in ridding the city of criminals. He represented himself to be an agent authorized to take orders for a lodge, patrol and permit, all for $1.50, the money to be paid in advance, and the deadly weapon, the permit to carry it, and the shield to cover it was to be delivered a week later
The man was apparently indifferent all the while and took precaution not to use persuasion
He stated as an inducement that a possessor of the outfit would have the same rights as a patrolman. For an example, if he saw one man kill another he could walk up to the murder and place him under arrest—if he wanted to
Mr Upton informed him that he did not want to take a policeman's job. He offered his proposition and left it of Mr Upton to accept or decline, stating that it was scored only to business men and if Mr Upton had a prison record it was a waste of time to talk the matter over. 'Few of the men approached by the slick individual will acknowledge as having fallen for the proposition, but the fellow is said to look exceedingly prosperous

Police Verafon
About 9:50 p.m. October 17, Miss Marie McCabe of 169 West 141st street, while standing near 161 West 140th street, had her pocketbook, containing 350 keys and papers, snatched, from her hand by an unknown colored man Patrolman James Callan, patrolling post number 13—Severn Avenue, from 140th to 145th street and at 140th street and Seventh avenue. Not finding the stolen property on his person, he asked Patrolman Henry Blank, patrolling post number 12, who came upon the scene, to hold his prisoner while he made a search of the cellar for the stolen property.
A considerable crowd had gathered, and one James W. Charles in the crowd was asked to step back. This he refused to do and when the officer made a move as though he would turn around, his nightstreak was jerked from his hand with such force as to cause Blank to lose his balance and fall to the ground. Charles then struck Blank with the nightstick and kicked him about the head and body. Charles then broke and ran into the hallway at 161 West 140th street Patrolman Blank pursued him into the
N.Y.'S ONLY COLORED FIREMAN SAVES SIX FROM BURNING BLDC
Wesley Williams of 226 West 138th street, New York's only Negro fireman, again proved himself a Hero on Sunday morning, October 19, when he rescued William Thompson, Thompson, and five children, from a burning house, at 5, N. 10th Avenue. Thompson and children barely escaped being hurped to death
As the aerial ladder of Hook and Ladder Company No 40 was raised, Thompson leaped for it. His leap was successful but he clung only for a minute then collapsed. He was falling when Fireman William furled himself from a scaling ladder which rested against the burning, building. Williams caught the aerial ladder with one hand and seared Thompson with the other. In another second he had found a grip for his legs on the sides of the ladder and slid to the street with the youth over his shoulder. Rapidly reascending, with other firemen, he brought the five children to safety.
Fireman Williams is the son of Chief James Williams of the Grand Central Red Caps and since he joined the firefighters several years ago has made a splendid record

"WHO'S WHO" IN THE TRIAL OF THE MAN WHO SHOT WILKINS
"WHO'S WHO" IN THE TRIAL OF THE MAN WHO SHOT WILKINS
Principal Figures Appearing In The Case As It Unrolled Day by Day In Court of General Sessions.
The fate of "Yellow Charleston" (Julius W. Miller) who was tried by Judge John F. McIntyre for the murder of Barron D. Wilkins, was determined this week by the testimony, before a white jury of the court, six eve, witnesses, two of, whom were employees.
Charleston's Testimony
"Yellow Charleston" stated on the stand, that on the evening of May 24, 1924, at about a quarter of seven o'clock, he approached Barron D. Wilkins, who was standing in West 124th street, near Seventh avenue, talking to "Yum Yum." When he saw Mr. Wilkins' hand in his right hip pocket he shot him, then Mr. Wilkins backed around the corner into Seventh avenue and he followed firing two more shots hitting Mr. Wilkins. After the shooting, "Charleston" went around the corner of Seventh avenue, turning eastward into 134th street
"Yum Yum" Diftered.
The testumony of all the others who took the stand corresponded with the defendants story, except that of "Yum Yum."
Dr Charles Norris stated that there were wounds on the back of the right wrist, in the forehead and in the right arm pit of the deceased. He pointed out bullet holes in the clothing of the deceased that corresponded with the body wounds
Self Defense Claimed.
Attorney John J O'Connor, counsel for "Charleston," in addressing the jury described the shooting as being in self defense by accounting for the locations of the wounds. Mr O'Connor explained that when "Yellow Charleston" saw Mr Wilkins attempt to pull a pistol out of his right hip pocket, "Yellow Charleston" whipped out his own gun and fired at Mr Wilkins' hand, inflicting a "fresh wound on the back of his right hand." When Mr Wilkins backed around the corner and succeeded in getting out his gun and raising it to shoot, then the defendant fired a second time inflicting another flesh wound on Mr Wilkins' forehead. When the defendant saw the pistol leveled at him he again fired, hitting Mr Wilkins in the right arm.
No Pistol Found
Detective John H Butter stated that when he searched Barron D Wilkins clothes at the Harlem Hospital he found in Mr Wilkins's pockets a few cards, not designating the kind, some keys, and some money in change, but no pistol. Patrolman William H Cannon stated that he was patrolling his heat at the time the fatal incident occurred. He heard the first shot which sounded like an automobile tire blowout in West 134th street then he followed two more reports on Seventh avenue which caused him to hurry to the scene. Mrs. Sarah Lewis testified that she was in her apartment when her attention was attracted by a sound that she thought was an automobile tire explosio
Julius William Miller, Alleged Slayer of Two Men On Same Night, Recited Story In Court.
SETS UP CLAIM THAT HE SHOT IN BELIEF VICTIM WOULD SHOOT
Recounts Sordid History of Alleged Illicit Transaction In Handling of Stolen Whiskey.
Two pretty little girls, 7 and 8 years of age, respectively, have been for the past two weeks, with their mother, playing around in the Criminal Court building in the City of New York. They are the children of Julius William Miller, alleged murderer of John Parker and Barron D. Wilkins, both of whom were killed on the night of May 24, 1924.
The writer stated the argument, which only a good housewife and devoted mother can, and she has many miserable companions amoled doomed men, fortunate women and, crying babies, who frequent the same building.
Sufferings, heartaches and tears are constantly in evidence there, but the two little Miller girls do not know what it is all about. In the meantime, their father took the stand in Part S of the Court of General Sessions on Thursday and Friday last week and told a pathetic story which probably he would not have them see in print.
"Charleston's" Story
Miller told Judge John — F. McLytle that he was born in Charleston, S.C. and is called "Yellow Charleston" after his complexion and birthplace. He came to New York City twenty-one years ago and became acquainted with Barron D Wilkinson shortly afterwards and the two of them had been friendly until they had some words last May over a whiskey deal. Miller claimed that he had business affairs with Mr. Wilkinson when he operated the Little Savoy Caharet in 35th street, away back more than twenty years ago, and that he had visited several resorts operated by Mr. Wilkinson during the long time that he had known him. He also admitted to gambling himself and witnessing acts of degeneracy committed on premises of the enterprises that Mr. Wilkinson was supposed to have owned. The defendant stated that he had worked for five summers as porter on the Hudson River steamboats, and at other times he had worked at race tracks, carrying water and doing chores which paid him on an average of $45 a week, of which amount he usually gave his wife all but $10.
Was Once Strike Breaker
On another occasion, Muller stated that he went to Cleveland, Ohio, where he worked on a strike job in the year 1017, and while on that job he bought a pistol, and it was this gun which was the cause of his being in court telling that story.
He confessed to having served one and a half years in the penitentiary. He was convicted once of receiving stolen property, another time he was convicted of having a gun in his possession, and the following day he told the District Attorney that the police-men did not take the gun from him.
Miller also admitted having been arrested once for vagrancy at a time when he had a five room apartment. He also stated that at the time of his last arrest he was living with his wife and two children in a large room at 75 West 12th street, was 43 years old and had a sister who formerly lived in West 59th street but is at present in 117 West 60th street.
In the year 1921, Miller said he stood 64 cases of whisky from a place in Harlem and divided with his partner, Kenneth Moore, who helped him in the burglary, and was later killed by Walter Clark in Lenox avenue at 141st attack while he (Miller) was in prison last summer.
Barron Wilkins was sold 32 cases of the stolen whisky for the sum of $1,600. He paid Julius William Miller in sums of from $10 to $23 at various times, finally paying on account all but $420. Then Mr. Wilkins' payments ceased.
Miller stated that he had a talk with Wilkins in his office last May, and asked why he persisted in minimum payments or words so that effect; Miller said he was given to understand that he had already received $1,340 for the whisky; that for years he had been making mockery of the law, and should be satisfied.
. Night of the Shooting
Then on the night of May 24, 1924, Miller says he went to the Model Social Democratic Club at 129 West 134th street, and that night, according to insignificant remarks, the club was more social than democratic. The gun that had been bought on the strike job in Cleveland, Ohio, was at that time, hidden in the cellar of the building which housed the club and for some reason that the cannot account Miller took the gun from its hiding place and put it in his pocket. He explained that it had been customary for him to carry a pistol on his person because his life was in danger in Harlem but he gave no reason why he was apparently disliked upown.
After putting the pistol in his pocket Miller said he went into the club room about three minutes past six o'clock in the evening, and was there about three quarters of an hour in company with other men who were commonly known as "Blue," "Lost John," "Chicken," Benny Hassen, Henry Roberts and others. Then occurred the shooting of "Fat Harris."
Making a Get-Away
Immediately after the fatal shooting, Miller went-to the roof, crossed over the house tops and came down at number 123 walked out on the sidewalk and saw John Ryder standing across the street. He crossed the street to John Ryder, who told him that he had better go down town somewhere and try to get away. Miller, said that his first thought was to go to his sister's house in 59th street and started walking westward on the south side of 134th street, with John Ryder following behind him.
Nearing the corner of 7th avenue, Miller saw Wilkins standing talking to Beeny-Parker ("Yum, Yum") both of them having their backs to the drug store window near the avenue. He approached Wilkins in hopes of collecting some of the money owed him, with which to flee justice. He told Wilkins that he needed money, his wife being ill, and asked if he would give him some part of the $420 owed him. He received a flat refusal, swallowed a vile epithet from Wilkins, and turned to go. Suddenly someone shouted, "Look out, Barron has a gun!"
Says Wilkins Pulled Gun
Miller said he turned quickly and gaw Wilkins pull a blue steel pistol out of his right hip pocket, but beat him drawing guns. He fired at Wilkins' hand that was pulling the gun out of his pocket, inflicting a flesh wound on the back of the right wrist Wilkins backed around the corner, and seeing that Wilkins had succeeded in getting the gun out and was rushing it to fire at him, Miller says he again fired at Wilkins' hand that was grasping the gun and that the bullet grazed Wilkins' forehead, inflicting another flesh wound from center to left on forehead
After firing a third time, he said Wilkins' hand dropped and he felt that he could then do him no harm so he turned, walked to the corner and went eastward on 134th street. In so doing he passed Benny Parker who made a motion as if to attack him, but Miller said he pointed his pistol at Parker, daring him to move, and continued in the direction he had stabbed.
Took to Roofs Again
At 130 West 134th street, Miller said he turned in, hurried to the roof, crossed over the house tops, throwing away his gun in his flight, and came down at 69 Lenox avenue. Jumping into a taxi, he went down to his sister's house in 59th street, only to find her not at home. Then he walked up to a friend's house in 62nd street, where he met St. Claire and "Dingbat," whose surname he thinks is Church "Dingbat" went with him in a taxi from the 62nd street address farther down town to the Dustbrooses street ferry. There he hesitated to cross the river over to New Jersey so the two of them had a light lunchtime consisting of coffee and sandwiches.
Miller said he had $54 in his pocket and went from the ferryhouse to "Dingbat" home in Cherry street, where he spent the night. The following day he appeared at the Police Headquarters at Center street and confessed to having shot Barron D. Wikins the night before in self defense. Having finished his testimony, Miller arose from the chair on the stand, staggered back to his seat alongside of his two attorneys, a doomed man, weary and in distress.
"WHO'S WHO" IN THE TAIAL OF THE MAN WHO SHOT WILKINS
(Continued from First Page)
in West 134th street. It had been raining hard but she raised her window and looked out just in time to see "Yellow Charleston" point a gun at Barron; D. Wilkins and fire. She screamed "For God's sake, don't shoot!" and Mr. Wilkins looked up to her window, three flights up, and raised his right hand as if pointing to her. Then she fell backward into her room and heard a third report of a gun.
Saw Shooting From Window.
Mrs. Alma Jackson testified that she thought she heard an automobile, fire explosion in 134th street and since the rain was ceasing she looked out of her window, one flight up, and saw a man standing near the curb on Seventh avenue close to the letter box fire at another, er mas who was standing a few feet away on Seventh avenue in front of her stoop. She heard a scream come from above her and looked up and saw Mrs. Lewis in her window above, then she heard another shot.
William A. Lewis said he heard a report and looked out to see what it was and beheld two men coming around the corner from 134th street into Seventh avenue. He recognized one of the men as being Barron D. Wilkins and he saw the other man shoot him twice.
When asked by His Honor if he saw the man that did the shooting anywhere in the court room, Mr. Lewis first looked in the jury box and the court room laughed. Then he left his seat, looked at the newspaper reporters, then at the lawyers and court officers on the left side of the room, then he looked over those slitting in the rear of the court room and gave up.
Witness Played "Safety First."
Charles Levitt, a Jew, testified that he saw the last two shots fired. When asked by the defense counsel if he went back into his store when he saw "Yellow Charleston" fire at Barron Wilkins, Mr. Levitt replied "I never came out of my store," and the court room laughed. The counsel for the defense during the examination of Mr. Levitt asked him how near did "Yellow Charleston" get to him and Mr. Levitt replied, "He didn't get near me at all," and the whole court laughed again. When asked if he came out of his store after the shooting to see which way "Yellow Charleston". went, Mr. Levitt answered emphatically "No1", then everybody failed.
Differ As To Gum
Mr. Lewitt said he did not notice the color o the gun that "Yellow Charleston" used. "Yum Yum" swore that "Yellow Charleston" used a nickel plate gun. "Yellow Charleston" said that he used a blue steel gun.
Edwin Van Kust testified that he had just walked up to Mr. Wilkins, who was standing in 134th street talking to "Yum Yum", when Wilkins was shot the first time. "Yum Yum" testified that Mr. Wilkins was standing with him in Seventh avenue when he was first shot. "Yellow Charleston" swore that when he first approached Mr. Wilkins he walked up between, meaning opposite, Mr. Wilkins and "Yum Yum", as the two stood in 134th street near Seventh avenue.

Meetings have been held at other Harlem points and on Washington Heights, at all of which the candidates have received the most cordial and encouraging hearings. A meeting in the 13th A. D. Valentine J. Hahn, leader, was presided over by ex-Congressman Martin C. Ansorge, who has been named as a candidate 69 Judge of the Court of General Seasons.
Under David B. Costuma, leader, 19th A. D.; Robert S. Conklin, leader, 21st; John A. Bowles, leader, 22nd; and Colin H. Woodward, leader, 23rd, meetings are being held in the district headquarters and local assembly places, at which the candidates and other prominent party workers are heard by large and satisfying audiences.
Women Working Hard
One of the most gratifying developments of the campaign has been the splendid manner in which women of the community have entered into the work of supporting the Republican nominee. Among those who are doing yeoman work in the effort to win voters to Dr. Roberts and the other candidates are Mrs. Laura Prampin, president of the Women's Civic League of America, Inc.; Mrs. Christine Maura, Mrs. Rosa Lamkin, Mme Marie Jackson Stuart, Dr. Julia P. H Coteman, and scores of others. These women have already proven their value by the magnificent results secured, and they are putting more and more into the work each succeeding day.
Number of Qualified Voters
A digest of the vote, available since the close of registration, shows approximately 116,000 voters in the 21st Congressional District, and it is estimated 25,000 are colored
Figures for four of the Assembly Districts, the 11th, 19th, 21st and 22nd, show a total of 21,443 qualified voters. They are divided as follows:
13th-Male, 1,644, female, 921; total, 2,565
19th-Male, 3,008, female, 1,669; total, 4,677
21st-Male, 5,956, female, 3,642; total, 9,598.
22nd-Male, 3,055, female, 1,548; total, 4,603
With less than two weeks remaining before the campaign comes to a close, Republican managers are making an intensive and concentrated effort to place before all the voters of the 21st Congressional District the great need of sending Dr. Roberts to Congress, and of eobaining all the other Republican candidates for state officers

Descendants of Girl Sold As 7-Year. Old. Slave, Find Document Telling of Deal
Arthur Williams, of .306 West. 144th street, recently, returned, from a visit to his father, Burgess Williams, who lives at the old family home in Davis Co., near Mocksville, N. C.
While on this visit, the son was shown on interesting document which had to do with the younger man's great-grandmother. It was a bill of sale, dated August 1, 1816, showing that William Holeman of Rowan Co. received the sum of $80 from John Hendricks for the purchase of Hannah, a 7-year, old Negro girl. The same Hannah was Hannah Hendricks, mother of Chaney Hendricks Williams, who was the mother of Burgess Williams now 69, and the grandmother of Arthur who is 41, and who has been living in New York for the past eight years.
The document was found in the old Hendricks. home by a group, of boys of the white family who were engaged in cleaning out an old attic, and it was put into the hands of Mr. Williams by a young colored girl who overheard the boys talking of it and picked it up after they had put it down. bill of sale, the ink-pale and faded and the paper-creased and worn, with proper装订 showing its course through the Court and Register's office of Rowan Co. from which Davie Co. was later taken, as is follows.

Many Usasvory Affairs
The house fit which the shooting occurred has one of the most usasvory reputations of any in Harlem. Forually a high class elevator apartment house, it is now being rented almost wholly as furnished rooms. A former janitor of the house, at West Indian named Johnson, was shot dead by扛上 men some two years ago, when he attempted to protect his landlord from being robbed. Since that time, according to an occupant, there have been no less than ten shootings or slapping affairs in the house.
One young woman tenant, who works at night, was seen moving on Saturday afternoon. She declared that she was afraid to go through the halls at night because of the young guillotine who hung out around there. Many of the other tenants in the house are also anxious to move to a quister location.

On Friday, October 17, Justice Vernon M. Davis, in the Supreme Court, ordered Bindrabun Persuad to pay his wife, Mabel, who resides at 314 West 127th street, the sum of $18 per week for her support and that of two children, Inez, 11, and Cecil, 0. Mrs Persuad is suing her husband for alimony and counsel fees pending the hearing of her suit for separation on abandonment and failure, to provide, and for cruel and inhuman treatment.
The address of the defendant is given in the papers as 2553 Eighth avenue, but they were served on him at 145 West 71st street, an apartment building, where he is alleged to be employed.
Persuad objected bitterly to the $18 a week assessment, eliminating that he was only making $75 a month. Judge Davis informed him that he was in for some hard luck, if that was really the ear, because the $18 a week for support of wife and two children had to be paid, or Persuad would surely go to jail.
The couple were married in Port of Spain, Trinidad, in 1913, and they lived at Georgetown, British Guiana, until February, 1920, when Persuad, who is said by his wife to be a licensed pharmacist, left her and came to the United States. After two years, during which period Mrs. Persuad alleges her husband sent her only $70, she came to New York with her children. After some demur on his part, she alleges, the husband finally took the family to a room at 2327 Seventh avenue. She chages that in two years time, the husband moved five times, occupying from one to five rooms on each migration. 2553 Eighth avenue, with five rooms was the last and best. She chages that her husband, in a drunken fit, seized her and attempted to put her on to the hot cooking stove while she was making Christmas cakes for her children, and that only the intervention of a chance visitor saw her from mortal injury. This was Christmas Eve, last, and since that time Mrs. Persuad has maintained herself and children away from her husband.
The suit is brought for the wife by Mortimer W. Solomon of 103 East 125th street. Judge Davis issued his suit to Persian law firm left the court room very angry.

I have the honesty and sincerity in the name made, Chairman Butler by Messr. bramham and Parker, we wrote a letter mentioned above. The letter was absolutely ignored by the state "lily-white" chairman Bramham thereby verifying what we had already suspected, to wit, that the nominee was made for no other purpose than to induce the National Republican committee to send money into North Carolina, to help put it in the Republican column this fall. To accomplish such a feat, just now, is together beside the question, and that "lily-white" know right well. The Greenshore Daily News (Ind.), beseevest prompted by a feeling of supergulation perhaps, assumed the responsibility of answering the letter, which was ignored by Chairman Bramham.
In doing so, the editor undertakes to read the three "Anglo-Africans" the term applied to the writers of the letter by the editor) a drastic lecture, interspersed with a warning by reference to "the red shirts" and "the killings" in the past, on account of our tash presumption to write such a letter to the so-called Republican leaders.

Russell Sage Foundation, After Study of Employment Problem, Issues Expulsive Report In Which It Is Suggested That Federal-State-Local Cooperation In Running Agencies Is Solution.
The establishment of a free nationwide public employment service, to be maintained by the states in cooperation with the federal and local governments, for the benefit of men, women and junior, in all walks of life, is recommended by the Russell Stage Foundation in a 600-page report on employment methods, needs, and agencies, the result of a five year study which took the Foundation's investigators into more than 70 cities of the United States and Canada.
The full report is being submitted to President Coolidge, and to the governors of the states. The outstanding facts in the Foundation's findings and its recommendations will be brought to the attention also of municipal and county officials, employers associations, labor organizations, civic and social agencies, and the executives of other organizations concerned with the general problems of employment or unemployment. The importance of the Foundation's studies in this field becomes apparent when it is recalled that a preliminary statement made public several weeks ago showed that unemployment is no longer an occasional problem, but a constant phenomenon affecting large numbers of workers in every community. The principal recommendations of the report as summarized by Shelby M. Harrison, director of the Department of Surveys and Exhibits of the Russell Sage Foundation are:
That the federal government encourage and assist the states to maintain adequate systems of public employment offices and to co-ordinate these into an effective nation-wide service. That the states administer and support their own employment offices, subject to the terms of agreement with the federal government; and that the local governments participate in the management of the offices in their community through representation on their Local Employment Committee. That in order to establish the non-partisan character of the Service, the functions to be performed by the federal government be administered by a Board appointed by and directly re-
Mr. Arthur C. Holden, chairman of the Executive Board of the New York Urban League, recently contributed an article to this paper setting forth his news about Pullman porters, their occupation, their opportunities, and their advancement, intellectual and otherwise.
It was entitled "Pullman Porters and Race Progress", and was published in the issue of October 11. We read it very carefully, and, considering its source, deem it important to analyze it for the benefit of the readers of this column, and to reply to some of the questions raised by Mr. Holden.
First of all, a word about its author Mr. Holden is a young white architect, possibly in his early thirties, who is apparently sincerely and conscientiously "attempting to, put into practice the theories of social betterment which were his hobby when in college. Although attached to the "capitalist" class, especially through his wife's family and society connections, he exhibits marked socialistic leanings. Previous to his taking the office he now holds in the Urban League, his activities and investigations were directed exclusively towards the labor problems of the white workingman, and his interest in the phase of the general labour situation embracing the Negro worker was largely awakened and stimulated by his wife who had been an ardent Urban League worker for some time previous to their marriage.
It was largely due to her influence that he undertook the chairmanship of the New York Urban League. It was in a large measure due to his enthusiastic work among the white philanthropic groups that the New York Urban League was able to finance the acquisition of its present quarters on West 130th street. Recently he was elected to serve on the executive committee of the National Urban League. Mr Holden has frequently been heard to admit that his actual knowledge of the intimate life of the Negro group is extremely meagre and it was to overcome this ignorance that not so long ago he made every effort possible to get in touch with the rehired colored circles of Harlem in order to study them closer, extending quite a few invitations to his home, and himself seeking invitations to Negro homes on the higher tone.
There is no doubt that even though he has it this way learned a good deal that he did not know before there is still much room for enlightenment. Thus, in many ways evident in his article That he has nevertheless said many things that are true we do not attempt to deny.
The article begins in this way: Give two men each a block of wood. Tone the block will always remain a block in the hands of the other it will become a beautiful carving. Put the men in a prison cell. To one it will be objection. The other may find an opportunity to write a beautiful poem. Then follows the statement that after one year of freedom the American Negro has undisputed possession of the Fullman poster and dinneer service on the railroad. Next comps the pertinent question of what use these employees have made, or intend to make of this advantage and opportunity in gaming in telltale visual and coinade, subtraction for themselves. Mr Hotchkiss both in his manner of framing.
sponsible to the President
That this Board consists of the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of Commerce, and the Secretary of Agriculture.
That a National Council and local employment committees representing employers, workers, and possible other affiled interests be established as an additional aid in securing neutrality of administration as well as a reputation for such.
That the procedure of the Service in respect to demands for workers by employers in whose establishments a strike or lockout is in progress or is pending, shall be such as to guarantee the neutrality of the Service.
After discussing the variety of administrative systems which have been proposed for national public employment service, the 'Foundation' report says: 'The balance of weight belongs on the side" of a combined federal-state local administration.
"Our observations indicate that the choice of staff in employment offices administered by the municipality has been more influenced by political considerations than that in offices operated either by the state or by the federal government
"State control of public employment offices, either singly or in co-operation with local communities, has wrought no miracles. Indeed it has been subject to many limitations, some of which have characterized municipal control. Lack of adequate appropriation has been the most far-reaching handicap. Whatever the shortcomings of state administration, the fact remains that 26 states have established and are now operating public employment offices." As evidences of the weight of opinion in favor of combined federal-state-local control of the proposed national employment service and against purely federal control the report says: "Nine out of eleven representative economists unequivocally advocated combined federal-state-local control. The majority of employers interviewed in our study were opposed to an exclusively federal control. Organized labor appears also to favor a federal-state service."
his queries, and in the subsequent discussion, evidently means to imply that the Negro railroad employee has neither begun to carve his block of wood nor write his poem, i.e., to utilize in full the possibilities of his occupation that this is true of a large number, we admit, but that it applies to the group in general, or to the majority, we emphatically deny. The section of Negro railroad employees which is neglecting to exploit to the uttermost the advantages and opportunities of the service, is an ever-dwindling minority. From our own personal knowledge we have no hesitation in affirming that at least 75 per cent of the Pullman porters have bank accounts, fifty per cent, tidy sums invested in stable securities, and 25 per cent, excluding those resident in New York, own their homes. Taking all things into account, we don't think that is a poor showing of industry and thrift on our part. We can point out many a professional man, and many a man now engaged in laying down the foundations of substantial Negro business enterprises, who developed in the Pullman rank:
The high calibre of the cooled men in its employs has in recent years faced the perhaps grudging recognition of the management of the company, and of late many have at last been given positions of an official and semi official character which they have present themselves amply qualified to fill. In the larger number of cases of this description the men advanced have prepared themselves to meet their opportunity when it came by studying in their leisure moments on the trains and by applying themselves, to the duties of their occupation with that realities interest which springs from a desire to use it only as a stepping stone to higher things.
There are various organizations within the ranks of the Pullman porters which demonstrate that they are not so inactive in promoting their moral, social and economic welfare as it might seem to the supernatural observer. One of these is the Pullman Porters' Beneficial Association, designed to help its members and their families in the event of sickness or death. The headquarters of this association are in Chicago and it supports a salaried official personnel all of whom have at some time or other served as porters. Another organization worthy of mention is the Pullman Porters' Amusement Association, which promotes athletics among the porters and hotels, an annual field and sports day.

Minister Hood Tells Of Lease Of African Rubber Plantations To Americans
THE NEW YORK AGE
For a long time American manufacturers of automobile tires and other rubber goods have been advocating the control by Americans of the raw materials used in the manufacture of these good. But until recently the British and Dutch continued to control these raw materials without any competition from the American manufacturers, although three fourths of the automobile tires are made in this country.
Recently, however, the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, the biggest independent manufacturers of automobile tires in the country, successfully completed negotiations for a large track of land in Liberia to be used as rubber plantation for the growth of their supply of raw material. The company has had several representatives in Africa and plans to begin work immediately to build roads, sanitary homes for workers and make other improvements necessary to the cultivation of this land. According to Harvey S. Firestone, president and founder of the company, several million dollars will be spent in the next two years in Liberia. Dr. Solomon Hood, American minister to Liberia, interested the Firestone Company in the little African Republic and had complete charge of all negotiations with the Liberian government for the concessions.
At a meeting of the Interdenominational Preachers' Association, held at the First Emmanuel Church, 105 West 130th street, two weeks ago he told of the remarkable development that will take place in Liberia through the Firestone Company and the coming of American capital. He said that within the next generation Liberia will very likely develop into the most progressive of the countries of that great continent; and as colored people can stand the heat much better than white, jobs will be opened as foremen, superintendents, and even managers for American Negroes

Trying To Recover Money Alleged To Have Been Paid To Equity Congress Officer
Chus, Bailey-Chief Mogul, Files Suit Against Rev. R. W. McPherson, But Latter Says Money In Question Was Not Bailey's Personal Funds—Suit Is Outcome Of Dissension In Ranks of Congress.
Charles H Bailey, a real estate agent, with office at 2205 Seventh avenue, appeared in Part 3 of the 7th District Municipal Court Justice Lester Lester presiding, on Friday, October 17, and sought to establish a right to recover the sum of $12 50, alleged to have been advanced to the Rev K McWood-on since last July.

Bailey is also the motivating spirit in the activities of what he terms the Main and Regular Equity Congress of Greater New York, Inc., which meets in a hall at 162 West 129th street. The $25,000 which Bailey seeks to recover was used for the acquiring of certain stereo-option slides to be used in public entertainments for the benefit of the Equity Congress.
The plaintiff declared to Judge Laraus that he had made repeated demands upon Preacher McWoodson, either for the money or the slides, and that he had failed to get either.
McWoodson, called to the stand, declared that the money used in paying for the slides was not Bailey's, but was taken from Equity Congress funds. He stated also that Bailey's suit was entered because of a fight that had been made on the floor of that organization against Bailey's alleged autocratic assumption of all authority in conducting the congress affairs. McWoodson stated that Bailey acted as speaker, whether everybody else being more figure heads. McWoodson was supposed to the deputy speaker a sort of candida-holder to Bailey.
The preacher defendant identified that in order to boost the congress and output its aims and accomplishments, especially in connection with its effort to secure the election of a colored congressman, before the public a committee of three had been named to arrange a series of entertainment, this committee, being composed of Bailey Wm Dudley and himself. Illustrative slides were to be used in these entertainments, and the money for the expense was provided

To Discredit DuoBis.
DiBois was called as a witness, and Bailey immediately tried to discredit him. The witness was asked if he had not been arrested on charges preferred by a wqman, involving a sum of money, which DiBois was required to refund in court, but Judge Lazarus promptly informed the witness he need not answer, and told Bailey he could not discredit the witness in such a manner.
The case had originally been brought before Clerk Michigan ( Brown, who attempted to arrange a settlement without a court trial, and he 'it before Justice Friedlander for arbitration. This was not successful and so Clerk Brown sent the case up to Part 3 for trial on its merits. Both sides appeared minus legal counsel which probably saved the court a lot of useless bother
Makes Counter Claim
Woodson declared that instead of being personally obligated in the matter, there was really an amount due him from the Congress totaling either $20.10 or $30.10. He used both figures in his statement.
After the court session McWoodson and Fultes adjourned the case to the corner of 8th avenue and 125th street, where they stood and argued it, the preacher smiling and argumentative. Boles saturnine and grumpy determined and the pair finally marched on up 8th avenue shoulder to shoulder, even though it exactly hand in hand.
The real estate dealer and Equity Congress pomote had not been able to overcome the flood of eloquence with which the minister and deputy speaker had presented the case as Judge Lazars after reviewing the evidence entered a judgment for the defendant, McWoodson, on the merits

The widespread interest felt in the nomination of Dr. Roberts for Congress, in the Twenty-first district of New York, was illustrated by a communication sent to the editor of The Age by the Birmingham Civic and Commercial Association. It reads as follows
The attention of the above organization has been called to the race for Congress which is being made by Dr. C H Roberts, of your city, and the opportunity which is being given to our racial group through the country to give financial assistance in this effort
We are deeply interested in the success of this movement and have raised the sum of $10.35 three voluntary contributions from the members of this Association.
A check for this amount is being enclosed here with and we trust that same will be of some assistance in furthering Dr. Robert's campaign.
As a contrast to the liberal and enlightened action of this Alabama organization, we have to recount a story told by a Jewish friend, who had occasion to visit an office building on lower Broadway. Talking with the colored elevator man, he asked him where he lived. Finding that his residence was in Harlem, he said to him "Well. I suppose you are going to vote for Dr. Roberts for Congress."
"Not me," responded the elevator man indignantly. "Don't want no 'nigger' representing me in Congress. Want a white man to represent me."
Our Jewish friend, who took the matter quite seriously was prevented by the demands of elevator traffic and his own business from discussing the matter further, but he could not understand the psychology of the elevator man who objected to the election of a representative of his own race. He declared that he was going back to argue the matter with this perverse individual.
The trouble with our elevator friend is that, like Marcus Garvey and others of that stripe, he is the victim of an "inferiority complex," which will not allow him to admit the possibility of any member of the race rising above the lowest levels. This feeling is born of ignorance and jealousy. Only the spread of education and a wider and more generous outlook can dispel it.
The members of the Alabama organization represent the right tendency, which in time will impolate even such hardboiled cases as the Broadway elevator man.
SOUTHERN PROPAGANDA EXPOSED
About as caustic and revealing a criticism of the technique of the all-pervading system of anti-Negro propaganda carried on by the professional white Southerner, both North and South, was printed in Heywood Broun's column in the New York World one day last week. The writer was Martha Gruening, whose radical tendencies have found expression in her writings and educational experiments. Miss Gruening's letter was so complete an exposition of the side of the question so rarely appreciated by white writers or at least by those who are broad enough and caudel enough to a limit that we feel bound to reproduce it in full. It follows.

Miss Gruening's letter was so complete an exposition of the side of the question so rarely appreciated by white writers or at least by those who are broad enough and cautious enough to limit it that we feel bound to reproduce it in full. It follows
Your failure to get the Southern viewpoint is probably concealable and hopeless. As any good Southern could tell you, it's not a thing you can argue about. If you don't feel it — The sentence ends in a sequent silence intended to suggest that any one who does not feel it is too low to have an claim to human respect. Unhappily, most people are peculiarly ensured to this sort of suggestion and they willumble over themselves in their eagerness to see anything—however idiotic—which will take them out of this class. This is one reason why Southern anti Negro propaganda has been successful. I think almost any propaganda could succeed by the use of this technique. If the situation had been reversed and Negroes had happened to think of it, they could just as easily have given curtions to the notion that no person of any sensitive nature could remain in a room with a white counter. As happened the Southernness hit on the service first and has persuaded it unremittingly.
Alms I feel I have been puzzled as you have by the Southern psychology but I have been even more puzzled by the epiphantic readings at the North to truckle to and ape this psychology. We have a superteu tristate for the prejudices of the white Southern. He tells us he knows the Negro and we listen respectfully. Why? Time and again I have seen groups of apparently intelligent Northerners absorbing misinformation about the Negro from some professional Southern with the most abject credibility. They not only get people all the three times that about Negro from such sources but which is far more serious and apt uncreative. Southern standard of behavior toward Negroes.
"I have been present when a Southerner with a group is taking ghetties, or what seemed to me a thoroughly degraded and disguising at one of the Black-rassal what does mean coming to town that." Please de-law I met a Southerner in carrers. The professor Southerner is used to this attitude and counts on his propaganda as increasing. And he has met this with almost no opposition from the North but with platters and encouragement.

"There has probably been a degree of alincere tolerance as well as a large, admixture of scolbishness and cowardice in our readiness to absorb the Southernner's point of view on the Negro. No doubt many Northerners have believed the claim, reasonable on its face if one does not know the facts, that he 'knows the Negro', but the net result of our tolerance toward him has been the worst of intolerance, oppression and cruelty for several million colored people. Why not, just to strike a balance, transfer a little of our intolerance to the white Southernner and of our open-mindedness to the Negroes?"
The readiness of the white Northerner to truckle and accept the anti-Negro propaganda ladled out by the professional Southern has been a most discouraging feature of the situation. The objects of this persecution recognize the animus and often the Lbsurdity of the Southern propaganda, but the average white Northerner laps it up and cries for more. In politics, in business, in educational circles this poison gas is dispensed, killing off many an attempt of black men and women to attain an equal footing, to which they were entitled by their efforts and accomplishments.
It is only a few clearheaded and courageous souls like the writer of this letter who see the truth and seeing dare to speak it. May their numbers increase to such an extent that clear thinking and candid deliverance may do away with too ready acceptance of false propaganda and silence its exponents. The result should clear away the fogs of misunderstanding and misinterpretation that do so much to create needless racial friction and intolerance.
THE SCHOOL, THE FLAG AND
THE DOLLAR
The dedication exercises of the new junior high school, located at 140th street, near nox avenue, held last week, marked a considerable addition to the educational facilities provided for Harlem youth. This junior high school is a consolidation of the seventh and eighth year pupils from Public Schools 5 and 89. The enrollment is in the neighborhood of fifteen hundred pupils, where are some five hundred children in the last three years of school.
The junior high curriculum includes, besides the regular academic work, five equipped shops for teaching woodworking, machine work, printing, sheet metal work and electric wiring. About four hundred students are taking these courses in practical instruction, who are given group tests as quality and intelligence before being assigned to the shops.
While nearly every thing necessary for the equipment has been provided by the school authorities, there is still lacking an American flag for the auditorium. The purpose of the national emblem, it is felt, would conducive to the teaching of patriotism and the inspiring of devotion to the national institution. It is therefore proposed that the flag of appropriate size be provided by the citizens of Harlem, whose children enjoy the educational advantages conferred by the new school. It is estimated that the cost such a flag would be about thirty dollars, contribution for this purpose can be seen. The Age, where their receipt will be acknowledged and applied toward providing a flag, in connection with the educational facets which are provided by the taxpayer, this city, it is interesting to note some furnished by a Boston educator, places a cash value on high school and college education. Dean Lord of the Boston University College of Business Administration made a study of the earning capacity of college graduates. His report compared the earnings of the untrained man, the high school graduate and the college graduate, findings showed that a college educator was worth $72,000, while a high school educator had a cash value of $33,000 to a professor.
As cold cash is the yardstick by which Americans measure all degrees of successful achievement this report of the Boston educator will very likely convince man the value of education who would otherwise remain doubtful.

SOUTH AFRICAN PROBLEMS

According to this writer, the whole white population of South
In the South African Native Opinion last August there appeared an article discussing the latest problem of South Africa, which the writer defined as the effort of the Europeans to oust the native from the industries and to send him back to the kraal and to rid the country of the East Indians, who have been brought there. According to this write, the whole white population of South Africa is engaged in a fight to oust the non-Europeans from every sphere of employment unskilled as well as skilled, that will provide an opportunity for a white youth to earth living.
South Africa is pronounced to be a land of problems ever changing and never ending all the creation of the white man who invaded the country and took it from the natives. The earliest of these problems was how to reclaim the native Africans from labourism and convert them to Christianity. In this effort it is admitted that many a noble and sorcerer white man gave his whole lot to the task. The next problem was to get the native to work for the whites.
accomplish this the former owners of the land were taxed and despoiled, of their property, so that they were compelled to leave their kraals and seek employment by the whites. While thus earning money to pay their increased taxes, they also learned what is called the dignity of labor.
Another problem was raised in Natal by importing labor from India to transform the wilderness into a tea plantation, as the natives were not deemed competent for that kind of work. Minor problems grew out of the education of the natives, the prohibition of their use of liquor, and legislating them into the gold mines as laborers. At the bottom of each of these problems, says the writer, lay the central idea of making "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for the white man.
In this time honored process, however, like the slave owners of the South, the masters degenerated, lost the dignity of labor and became purely overseers. The task of raising South Africa to become an equal partner with the other British dominions in the commonwealth of nations devolved wholly upon the black men. They are today the real producers and compete with the Europeans in some of, the highly skilled trades and in industrial undertakings. So the latest problem is how to get the natives out of the industries. The natives propose to defend their right to their jobs and to provide for the future of their sons and daughters.
THE REASON FOR COOLIDGE
In view of the general dissatisfaction with the shortcomings of the Republican administration during the past four years voiced among Negro voters, the question naturally has arisen as to how far this group can be depended upon to support the national ticket. Those who are given to thinking of why they should vote a particular ticket, are puzzled to find convincing reasons why they should persist in support of a party which has shown such indifference to their claims as voters and as citizens. Those who vote without due reflection find their task easier, because they can follow their accustomed routine without thinking up a reason.
The thinking voters of the race have given careful consideration to the alternatives presented in place of supporting the Republican candidates. They have canvassed the possibilities opened by the nomination of Mr. John W. Davis on the Democratic ticket and Senator Robert M. LaFollette as a Progressive. The outspoken utterances of both these candidates in opposition to the Ku Klux Klan and in support of equal citizenship for all classes of the community have aroused a responsive feeling. But when the practical results that may be expected to follow the support of either of these candidates are analyzed, the residuum has not been encouraging.
Courageous as Mr Davis has been in expressing his views, he cannot be expected to array himself in opposition to the settled policy of the Southern wing of the Democracy, the support of which is essential to his election and the future of his administration, if elected. Senator LaFollette is engaged in building up a party out of the various elements which have reason to be dissatisfied with the policies of both the old parties. At present he is merely tearing down established institutions, to replace them with something that may be better or worse so far as the Negro is concerned. At all events, his election does not seem to be probable this year or even later.
This brings the thinking voters to consider the possibilities of the election of Mr. Coolidge with a mandate direct from the people. The powers and responsibilities of the Presidency would then be vested in him by the voters and not by accident of death and inheritance of the policies and agents of his predecessor. The silence of Mr. Coolidge on such issues as the menace of Kuklusism to good government and the discrimination and segregation on account of color practised in many departments of the government has given rise to the impression that he has been indifferent if not actively unfriendly to Negro citizenship. This impression was not wholly removed by his unfinishing stand in the establishment of a colored personnel in the Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee and the appointment of Walter Cohen to a Federal office at New Orleans. These two policies were inherited from his predecessor and were regarded as unfinished business of the Harding administration.
A more independent note was struck in his letter upholding the propriety of Dr. Charles H Roberts seeking a nomination for Congress. Here his recognition of the full citizenship rights of the Negro was positive and convincing. Influential friends of the race who are in a position to speak with certitude of the President's purposes, have assured us that if elected he will prove to be the best of a long line of Republicans in the presidential office so far as a square deal and proper recognition of the Negro race is concerned.
The character and the sincerity of the friends who offer these assurances are a guaranty of their good faith. The Age is inclined to accept their predictions as found
ed on good and sufficient uncertainty of any good result to are mindful of similar assurance from the support of Davances made by so eminent a Reis or LaFollette, we would ad publican as Will H. Hays, in view all those in doubt as to the behalf of a former President, who wisest course to pursue; to vote was removed by, Providence be for Coolidge, with the determin fore those pladges were made in put to the test the assurances made in his behalf.

The Des Moines Bystander insists that Senator Brookhart's support of the Progressive ticket makes the Negro vote in Iowa a real factor. It said among other things
There are approximately 20,000 Negro votes in Iowa that will be elected in November for Presidential Election. That 20,000 will just save the Republican majority in this state and will be a mighty welcome vote. Brookhart, an Iowa, voted with the Democrats of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, all against Cohen, he voted against our Lincoln's League of this state wired him and requested his support for Cohen, he paid no heed to the plea of the thousands of black voters from his own state.
If Senator Brookhart supported the Democrats in the Cohen case he refused all claims to Negro support in Iowa. Now is the time to make him feel it.
A P Nilla in the Atlanta Post, had the following curious comment on political conditions in Georgia
For fifty years Negroes have made up the rank and file of the Republican party in Georgia. The white Republicans in Georgia except the office seeking have refused to meet in Negro churches and halls where Negroes were dictators. The greatest political boom that could come to Negroes in Georgia would be two real white parties in Georgia. If the dropping out of politics for a decade would bring about such a state of affairs Negroes ought to make the sacrifice. With two real white parties in Atlanta, five hundred Negro votes could command the whole situation.
The suggestion has the merit of originality at least. We would like to hear how Editor Davis of the Atlanta Independent views it.
The Red Bank Eche printed an editorial on fish in which the lobster was classed with the shark and the whale among the dangerous kind, which bears careful watching. Maybe the New Jersey edition had in mind the variety of lobster served in city restaurants at appalling prices. Or else he referred to the two-legged specimens.

Should Negroes Vote For Bryanism?
By ELIZABETH ROSS HAYNES
In the past two months of the present political campaign two or three Negroes of prominence have made public announcements of their determination to vote the Democratic candidate in November because Mr Davis has been described as a solid blan. Alan the prosecutor on the part of an Negro voter would that party may well be weighted the light of wider consideration. For as what you will be Branism is still a decisive factor in the Democratic Party. The candidate for Vice-President Charles I. Irvine, brother of William Jennings, Bryan in spirit and thought as well as in flesh and blood in a recent interview William Jennings, Bryan has said that a decisive grey heart, another that was his private secretary, and that they were in perfect agreement that all public questions during that period. The election of another Charles they will mean the triumph of Branism of the old type which nearly all Negro voters have shimmed in the past. Should Negro voters in 1924 terminate the blan. Bryan in further action be indicated by the candidate of the Nation. Should Negro
public by the Bank of Commerce and the Solvency Saving Bank in which the white and colored pupils place their funds. The white scholars deposited $4,020 and the Negro scholars deposited $526 on the first banking bank. The two deposit banks have approximately $158,000 in funds belonging to school children, who have deposited in the thrift bank. This compares with $163,000 on Aug 22, 1924, after heavy withdrawals during the summer because of non-employment. At the peak last June, the school children had $193,000 on deposit in the two banks.
The lesson of thrift taught through this school institution is not without benefit in preparing the pupils for later life. The influence of systematic saving of small amounts is reflected in the moulding of character for the future.
Discussing the proposition to advertise Jacksonville in other sections as a city of opportunities, the Florida Sentuel pointed out another way to advertise the city by improvement of the streets. It said
In instance where there is need of attention from the city officials is Lee Street. To walk through this street from Beaver to Adams one is disgusted with the conditions prevailing. So unanimity is this street that one abhors the idea of walking through it, let alone residing there. It is filled with stagnant water, mud holes and the small attempts to make it solid by placing refuse there has shaded it worse. The water stands in the streets for days and even for weeks. And when the rainy season is on it is never dry. The officials of the health department well know that in spread throughout the other sections. In streets such as this, more sickness this street disease germs are bred to prevail than elsewhere. It cannot help but be under the circumstances. Just as has been suggested that this city levy tax of one mill on property to provide an advertising fund it can be a tax on property to improve this street and the others which are in need of improvement. It will pront not alone to having healthier neighborhoods or citizens but will announce to the world that its greatest attention is on the health of its citizens and thus encourage people to come here.
The sound sense underlying this suggestion should cause its adoption by the city authorities. Terms of discharge created by unsanitary conditions in certain neglected localities may intersect a whole city. Public sentiment should compel the authorities to act in defence of the public health
In the Charleston Messenger of Sept 27, Dr Jesse E Beard announced that he had decided to enter the race for Congress from the First district. In a letter to the editor the candidate said
I am by no means unmindful of what the decision means as it relates to my religious obligations as to what many people think of action, as to the weight of responsibility devolving upon my mind and heart and as to the physical burden which must be mute until the election is over. Mine is not an ambition to get money in this case. I have sincerely and repeatedly preached to God touching this matter and feel trust that I am responding to the all of duty. There are times when the voice of the people is the voice of God. I rather my right hand forget her cunning and my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth than refuse to serve my people whenever I conscientiously feel I should
Dr. Beard concluded his appeal by asking the campaign cooperation and vote of my people and the Republican party. It is a long time since a Negro candidate has run for Congress in South Carolina and this revival of political action may be a sign of charging conditions.
votes support. He an immigrant has framed, announced to the full endorsement of disfranchisement in the South Carolina articles in the New York Times March 18, 1923 William Jennings Bryan an artist allied with that restraints on black suffrage are based upon his views and upon pre-1923 time. He held that limitations upon the exercise of suffrage the black race should not be imposed upon a de facto limitation of equality as in the Dclaration of Independence. Mr. Bryan retains the power to erroneously mention that Negroes in Africa never had any connection with that Slave among whites and an immigrant over an independence in Africa. He concludes his article by saying that he views upon the question were formulated long before he ever taught of it in the South.

An infant should be peted and cared without unnecessary handling. They outpouring of the parents afference should come without undue awareness demonstration. I make a point this because I know that a baby has tenderness and a parent must have the delight of lavishing the need of the child upon the child, but the parent who has the child's best interest in heart—and what parent does not—must curb the tendencies to teach baby. A baby's chief duties in fear of sleep and sleep it must occupy of the twenty-four hours, so grow and build a nervous capacity which shall withstand the burdens of after-life.
The child should not be frightened by sudden noises or movements which are unusual. On the other hand he should be allowed to accustom himself to the ordinary sounds and movements which take place in his home. A baby begins to hear very early, indeed in a few days after birth and the hearing is abnormally acute. Proper food venues wheeling out of doors are all important but one of the greatest things he done for the baby's nervous system is to give him quiet

Last Sabbath was a glorious day for the Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church, 106-108 West 127th street. The attendance was all that could be expected. Most of the members who were on their annual vacation, have returned, and they were present at the morning worship hour. The superintendent of the Sabbath school, Brother Wilkinson, complimented the boys and girls who manned the school as officers and teachers the Sabbath before. The new group of young leaders will have the next opportunity the second Sabbath in January. The missionary society workers in their evening meeting gave glowing reports of their ingathering campaign. The leader, Brother Massiah announced that the campaign continues till October 31.

Sunday evening, brothers Goldston and Wood preached in the open air services held on Lenox avenue. At the Sunday night services in the church, pastor Strachan lectured, taking for his theme "The Meaning of the Horrible and Ever-Increasing Calamities." Many visitors sat in the audience.
Salem Church and Lyceum.
Bishop Robert E. Jones was the central figure of Sunday's services, which were the beginning of the third week at the Removal Celebration.
Coming all the way from New Orleans, La, especially for this occasion Bishop Jones spent the entire day at Selenm preaching to both the morning and evening congregations. The previous announcement of the arrival of eminent divine drew a vast crowd Sunday morning which returned in still larger numbers in the coming All of the invited ministers coming to Selen so far seem impressed with the unlimited opportunities offered for extensive community service and their messages in almost every case has been advice on taking advantage of this opportunity.
Bishop Jones was not unlike his predecessors, in that he too felt urged upon to point to the avenues of greatest service. His advice was for Salem to establish herself as a center catering chiefly to the spiritual needs of men. To emphasize this he pictures clearly man's relation to God and to Christ. It should be the duty of the church, he said, to best show relations to other men and engage in a broad program of a year-round evangelism. His Christian discourse was a portrait of Christ showing Him as the inspiration for the noblest art work the creator of the home life and the Redeemer of the World. The bishop pictured Christ thus, believing that a greater vision of the Christ would serve as an inspiration for greater service.
The platform meeting at four o'clock was addressed by Mrs Josephine Holmes Frazier Dr W F B Du Bois, and Rev Charles Martin. Mrs Holmes Frazier a magnificent tribute to Dr Cullen's pastore of Salem covering more than twenty years. She in a masterful manner traced the epochs of his progress delineating his character as one of the leading figures in Methodism. Dr Du Bois in his speech suggested that among other possibilities the church could make herself serviceable a a medium for the dissemination of political information. The growing mass of untutored souls he declares, demand that the church as an organ of righteousness take leading steps in christening the political activities of its membership Dr Martin urged that in all the many directions in which the church could launch out to make herself felt it should never be forgotten that her primary objects are christening the way to Christ

Rush Memorial Church.
There can be no doubt in the minds of those who heard Dr. Oliver last Sunday morning, concerning the greatest possible offer ever made to mankind, but that the offer of eternal life is the largest and the most distinguished gift ever bestowed upon humanity. The text of this sermon is found in Isaiah 45:22, "Look unto me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is none else." These words acquaint us with the fact that this is "The Greatest Possible Offer" for it is made to all. The main sub-division of this heading is that we are instructed to "Look." Not merely to observe with the physical eye, but with the eye of faith—to look with confidence and a feeling that God is just and that He is God and through His Son we shall be saved.
The high point in this sermon was brought when the preacher mentioned the fact that regeneration comes instantaneously. It is not a matter of weeping and mourning, or mourning and stumbling, or stumbling around of one's self-falling out, sins, making a covenant with God, renewing one's life, and most of all by

One great mistake made by God perhaps is they they church began on the singing of the choir, or the preaching of the sermon for inspiration, but were to go with an inward determination to conceive themselves, and devote the hour or so to divine worship, regardless of who sang or who preached, they would receive a blessing.

Just so are our lives; if we do good today, in the future we can look for good results. Appropriate music was offered by his choir. Rev MacMullen was the builder of Rush Church, and it stands as a monument to his efforts. On the evening, Dr Oliver preached on "Visions Beautiful," which was also a very inspiring sermon. The annual fair runs all through this week and a splendid program is prepared for each evening. "Next Sunday, being Rally Day, all organizations and captains will make their reports. Dr J. W.

First Emanuel Church
THREE CHURCH CHURCHES
A grand and glorious day was spent
by all who attended the communion
services at the church. Sunday, Holy
communion was served at both morning
and evening services.
In the morning pastor Bolden preached from the text: "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." St. John 8:32, Pastor Bolden said: The idea that truth would set the scribes, Pharisees, and Jewish intellectuals free at the time of our Lord's physical presence upon the earth, is as important today as it was then. The argument and controversy by the Jewish leaders, with our Lord the Emmanuel, over truth and their liberties were due to evil and erroneous thinking on their part. They revealed a spirit of bigotry and self conceit that is common to all persons and groups who think that they are not free from the Lord. Our Lord's psychological and spiritual认识 of their minds, demonstrated clearly that their personalities were stimulated and fed out of the field of sin by Satan. And that they in their activities were not only the servants of sin, but children of the devil.
It was impossible for them to rightly see Him as a divine person in their midst, for they were from beneath while He was from above. They were sinful and He was Holy; they acted from the consciousness of the mortal mind, He was God, incarnate in the flesh, demonstrating to the world the power to give immortal life to all who believe upon Him. This power that He had and used in the world of humanity was the result of His Father, God's love for the world And He was that love in action. He declares that this love in action makes Him the Good Shepherd of His sheep. It is the spirit of the scribes, Pharisees, with other forces of evil that have been and is still back of the movement in Jesus Bible the Word and the Book that tells of the assurance that Jesus Christ will give us eternal life, out of the schools, and from general public confidence and appreciation. The Holy Spirit resident in the mind of believers is carrying out the orders of the Father in th: Son having truth setting people free
The Bible therefore is necessary in our educational, as well as, religious systems, because it is the foundation of this truth that sets the people free. We should be like our Lord, dead to sin, but alive to righteousness" for we know that God is with us. At 2 p.m. the Sunday school was opened by the secretary, Miss Dorothy Small. At the close of the lesson study, Rev Hogans reviewed the lessons with the children. Dennis Hogans, and Cornelia Hogans also gave short reviews of each of their lessons. At 4 p.m the Literary Society conceived Mrs Jenny Jackson of Abyssina Baptist Church, having charge of the program. At 8 p.m the evening service was largely attended in the absence of Pastor Bolden the Rev William Hogans conducted the services. Mrs Jerusalem Cause of Oyster Bay, a deaconess of the First Emmanuel Church, reached in the mans assembled. His test was "Jesus saith unto him, I am the truth and the life, no man conch unto the Father, but I come." St. John 14.6.
The dinner was served during the day by the members of the choir and $40 was turned over to the church. On last Friday in October the Biblical play will be given at the church, entitled "The Queen of Sheba."
Bridge St. A.M.E. Church.
The large and enthusiastic congregation that assembled to worship in Bridge Street A, M. E. Church on Sunday morning would lead one to feel that great progress is being made in the spiritual development of the church.
Dr E. F. Tyler, the pastor, more than compensated his auditors. He selected as his text Matthew 7.2. "Ask and it shall be he given you, seek and we shall find knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asketh receiveth and he that seeketh findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
Dr Tyler made mention of the fact that it is the ambition of most persons to achieve success either among activists or professional in the realization and essential factor in the realization of the mission. But as Dr Tyler did when we pray, we ought to have a suitable disposition in prayer. Our aims and objects would then reach maturity for instead of using our accomplishments to laud it over some else we will use them in the furtherance of God's kingdom here below.
Bishop Brockett who has been in Bridge Street Church taking active part in the services for the past three on four Sundays, is leaving for Mississippi to continue his work there. At the morning service the Willing Workers Club of Bridge Street Church to make a presentation to the trustee board on $30.19 as the receipts from a baby contest held in the church on Thursday evening October 10. The pastor throur and congregation were guests of Rev. Timothy White of Bethel Baptist Church on Friday evening October 17. A reunion of the members of class No. 1 was held on Thursday October 1 at the home of Mrs. B. B. Robinson. The member had a very enjoyable time. H. Smith leader of the class contemplates making this an annual affair.

THE material contrast between the structures with which he (Boehner T. Washington) engages with is sufficiently working to be enough for one man to bring about. But satisfactory and encouraging as this is, it is but an imperfect measure of J. Washington's work. He is not turning out of two or three hundred young men and women for less useful to them selves and their families is of course a most commendable and helpful work. His purpose was to radiate from a center like Susquebee the light of the sun, but his living truths which must form the basis of real adoration for his race, or for any race.—WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, Chief Justice United States Supreme Court.

Mr.] Headen points to his connection with Barney Oldfield as proof that there is no color line in the industry, once you are able to convince people that you know your business. Automobile transportation has had an unprecedented growth since the beginning of this century, but it is generally thought that this will be eclipsed in the next twenty years. He also believes that jobs will be opening up for colored mechanics in the field of aviation.
Incidentally, the car designed and constructed by Mr. Headen will be featured in the fifty-mile auto derby at Ho-Ho-Kus, N. J. on Election Day, November 4. Two foreign cars, the Dusenberg and Frontenac, will also be featured.
Nine other cars are entered in this race and all will be driven by colored drivers. Malcolm Hannon, winner of the Indianapolis, Ind., 100 mile event, and William Carson winner of the more recent 100 mile auto derby in Chicago, are among those scheduled to compete.
Ho-Ho-Kus, N. J., is easily reached over the West 130th street ferry by taking the trolley which runs within three blocks of the track. The automobile route is also by way of this ferry, and the management of the races has chartered 300 buses to carry the crowds from Harlem at a nominal fee.
The first event will be at 12 o'clock sharp.

MUSIC. If the oldest of the fine ARTS, it is perhaps older than MAN—for it it is suppoable that the animal out of which MAN developed made-MUSICAL SOUNDS, at least with its VOICE. And we find MUSIC in the throats of birds, and MUSICAL NOTES amid the noises of some insects.
MUSIC has developed with the very evolution of human nature and is a part of the soul nature of the MAN. So intimate is the desire for the MUSICAL that almost all sane and sound MEN, even those who cannot make a NOTE, can at least enjoy MUSIC. Only a limited number of MEN and WOMEN can make the best MUSIC, but practically one hundred per cent, of the human race can enjoy it.
The makers of MUSIC, therefore, are not supplying goods for a limited but for a universal demand. It takes practice as well as genius to make GOOD MUSIC, and it takes cultivation and culture to enjoy. And it takes leisure for practice and leisure for cultivation. How did the human race arrive at the cultivation of a universal taste for the MUSICAL? Like the bird race, perhaps for the sweet SONG, bird, which SINGS apparently without practice, inherits his MUSICAL FALENTS from his billion-billion ancestors who practiced before him. In the case of the bird it is a racial-evolution product. Like the bird. MAN inherits a TALENT and instinct for SONG and other VOCAL MUSICAL TONES but he could not inherit the science and art of INSTRUMENTATION.
MAN'S VOCAL ORGANS have existed for hundreds of thousands of years, but the great INSTRUMENTS of MUSIC were invented, as it were, yesterday or this morning, in the history of civilization. But it would take thousands of generations before the human race, as a race, could become so practiced and cultured in INSTRUMENTATION to stagnant and inherit a TALENT for violin piano, banjo, flute and cornet. Even now we might inherit a predisposition to the MASTERY of such INSTRUMENTS and we know of no limits to the possible development of human beings.
THE TEMPLE OF MUSIC is to be continued. This is Article No. 1 SUBSCRIBE TO THE NEW YORK AGE NOW so that you will not miss any of this great MESSAGE

TEDDY BOLDEN
100
Whess touchdowns on Saturday, October 18 and 11, won games for New York University.
TEDDY BOLDEN IS STAR OF NEW YORK UNIVERSITY ELEVEN
Ted Bolden, former Stuyvesant High School star halfback is proving to be the mainstay of the New York University eleven this season. In each game the past two weeks the Violet eleven was near defeat and the individual playing of the colored halfback saved the day.
In the game against Union University on Saturday, October 11, he scored the only touchdown after a sensational run down the field. As in the game with Union his individual brilliance gave his team a victory over the City College eleven on Saturday, October 18. He caught a punt a few minutes before the end of the game and raced two-third of the distance of the field for a score, outdistancing his pursuers after he had straight-armed his way past three would be tacklers.
He made a number of other brilliant runbacks off kicks, but never broke clear of the field again. His playing so far leaves little reason to doubt that so far this season he is the most valuable man on the New York University team.

Because of the plainly visible advantages in size and weight that the Jacksonville eleven had over the 'runnwick' team and the equally able-bodied substitutes in full, uniform, almost as many as st.

HAMPTON SCORES GREAT VICTORY OVER ST. PAUL
Norfolk, Va. — The "Tigers" of St. Paul School, Lawrenceville, Va., wandered from their lair on Saturday, October 15, and were sent back defeated through the greater offensive power of the "bushers" of Hampton Institute. Displaying greater and really wonderful punting power, deterrent power by her brilliant backs, and a spirit to win which was wasted, Joel Hampton early in the contest made it plan that she was out to win and she won by a score of 14 to 0. In the opening period of plays both teams showed that they were nervous. Fumbles and penalties for on-side player, probed this, it was almost the timing of Billy Paul in the first quarter. The fumbled a quick near her goal when tackled and a Hampton player, Davis, covered it. It was ruled a touchback, however.
The members of the victorious eleven played in such a manner that it renders it difficult to play, but any particular star. This will make great plays at times. Some filled their positions slightly better than others. The known strength of both teams caused almost every player to make some mistakes—usually from over-anxiety.
First half ended with ball in St Paul's possession on her 8-yard line, neither side having scored.
Hampton scored in the third quarter, after carrying the ball to St Paul's 1-foot line.
Manashew was called upon on the next play, but the "Tiger" stiffened and the ball was still on the 1-foot line. Baker then called upon the hardhitting thatcher, playing fullback and where others had failed, he succeeded, and carried the ball over on a line plunge but bumbed it. Baker recovered the ball for the touchdown and drop-kicked for an extra point. Score in third quarter war 7 to 0. The second touchdown was made after Dean, substituting for Gunn, intercepted a pass on St Paul's 37-yard line. Manashew scored Hampton's second touchdown on a beautiful end run. Baker again kicked an extra point.
St. Paul made a desperate air at attack as the time of play neared expiration, but the majority of the attempts were broken on. She had worked her way to the ilion of the field as the game ended. Ilion had triumphed by a score of 14 to 0. Celebration of the victory took place in Bailley's Park Anne nex in Norfolk in a social and dance after the game. A fairly large crowd attended the game at League Park

U. S. To Defend Suit Against Walter Cohen And 14th Amendment
Washington, D. C.—The United States Attorney at New Orleans has been instructed by the Department of Justice to proceed with the defence of the suit brought by H Edwin Bolte who seeks to enjoin Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of customs at New Orleans, from discharging the duties of that office.
There was a conference here between Comptroller Cohen and Perry W Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General, who consulted with C. Bascom Slemp, Secretary to President Coolidge, and officials of the Treasury Department and the Department of Justice.
"This action of the administration," Comptroller Cohen, said, "shows conclusively the attitude of President Coolidge toward the colored citizenry, for the suit is not against me personally but has as its aim the disfranchisement of every colored person in the United States."

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

A nursery is a gift from God in a community. If St Benedict Day Nursery, 29 West 12th street, equipped at a cost of $60,000, only had to its credit the kindness shown to Ethal, its existence in Harlem had been justified.
from God in a community. If St. Benedict Day Nursery, 29 West 12th street, equipped at a cost of $60,000, only had to its credit the kindness shown to Ethel, its assistance in Harlem had been justified. This is the story as related by the aunt. Ethel was just eight weeks old when her mother died. The father, disappeared on the day of the funeral. No one knows whether he is dea or allie. The aunt having one baby and a little girls of five, took Ethel home match against her husband's wives. They lived in a furnished room. The struggle, for existence was a hard one. The aunt brought her two babies to the nursery. Ethel was sick at home. She told Mother Theodore, the sister in charge of the nursery, how she had to stay at home from work to give her attention to little Ethel.
Mother Theodore sent her home at once for Ethel saying "we will care for the three." She brought her to the nursery. She was now nine months old: undernourished, in fact almost a skeleton. The doctor, sisters and nurses thought she had only a few days to live. The aunt related how she had to go out to work from 10 to 2 p. m. She had to leave the three babies all alone during those hours. Before leaving in the morning, she prepared three bottles of milk, the little one of five was taught to give the bottle to the other two. At times she could only buy one bottle of milk a day for the three; hence the undernourished condition of Ethel
Mother Theodore insisted on keeping Ethel day and night under the care of a trained nurse. The doctor visited daily. She became the pet of the Nursery. Nothing was too good for Ethel. One night she became suddenly ill. A taxi was called, and the nurse took Ethel to the Babies Hospital. 55th street and Lexington avenue. The doctors congratulated the nurse on the splendid physical condition of the baby. She had only been in the nursery four months. From a skeleton she became a prize baby.
When Ethel was taken from the hospital to the Nursery, the nurse who had cared for her so tenderly, was ordered by her doctor out of the city for a long rest. She would not go away without Ethel, so Ethel was taken early in the summer to Newport. She is yet enjoy ing the sea air of that fashionable resort. The nurse has adopted her but Mother Theodore will pay, for her education. She will get every opportunity to face the world with a college training. Perhaps in the Providence of God, she may one day come back to the nursery a Sister or a nurse, to do unto other what has been done for her. There may be many Ethels in Harlem. They are in every section of the city.
Benedict's Day Nursery is for every mother in Harlem who has to work. Their little ones will be watched over with a mother's care. There is an average of 85 daily. Some are tiny

Ethel's real name will not be made public. May she never know how unkind the world was to her for the first nine months of her life. If the Casino cannot hold the large crowd of Ethel's friends, then it may be said with truth, "A little child shall lead them."

Big Bethel, Chicago, Is Destroyed by Fire With Loss More Than $150,000
Chicago, Ill.—The magnificent structure which housed the congregation of Bethel A. M. E. Church, this city, was totally destroyed by fire on Friday night, October 17, entailing a loss of $150,000 more than was covered by insurance.
The fire started, it is believed, in the organ loft of the main auditorium, from some cause which has not been determined, possibly a short circuiting of the electric wires leading to the motor.
Bishop A L. Gaines is in the city now, and has authorized an appeal to be made to members of the church in all sections of the country, and to every lover of Christ's Church, to assist Bethlehem sending donations to aid in rebuilding to the Douglass National Bank, Chicago.
The pastor, Rev C. M. Tanner, joins with Bishop Gaues in the appeal.
