The closing of the annual budget drive for the Young Women's Christian Association, with the 137th street branch for colored women showing a total of about $5,000 as against $6,000 hoped for, brings into consideration the question, asked by one of the most prominent and well-to-do race citizens living in Harlem, with regard to the long-delayed residence building which is to be erected on the three vacant lots adjacent to the present 137th street branch building.

It can be referred to has explained for information as to which building, which it is considered a necessary to the work of the all branch, is not taking part in the construction work. It is point-of-contact that the site for this building was acquired more than a year ago, when the W.W.C.A was conducting a building at 200. West 11th Street, and it was understood that the activity was old arrangements would be made to temporary quarters until new building, could be erected. Local Work Is Crippled Persuade them with the workings with the branch of the Y. W. C. Note that the absence of a resilient building is seriously crippling the work. Needs arise daily which could be effectively and economically taken care of through the facilities provided by a residence house. And another and important consideration in the construction, it is said, is to be bound in the fact that with a resilient building, the ground and operation, the annual budget demand of the Association would be greatly lessened. Residence building will be practically 100 per cent, in use through the entire year and the estimated running from the building would be sufficient to make the necessary trips to work, and at the most it could be a sized surplus to be designed as requirative purposes. Plans made public when the residence house at W. W. C. is sold, it is a story building based for that purpose three lots in the village of 75 feet on the candidate adjoining the 137th building.

YOUNG GIRL IS BURNED TO DEATH IN APARTMENT FIRE YOUNG GIRL IS BURNED TO DEATH IN APARTMENT FIRE Harriet Williams, two and half years old, was fatally burned and her mother is a serious condition at Harlem Hospital as a result of a fire which wrecked their apartment at 45 West 132nd Street Thursday evening, December 11. The fire is said to have been caused by the explosion of an oil stove, which set fire to the little girl's clothing. Her mother, in an attempt to extinguish the flames, was badly burned on the hands of her brother, Elijah and Fritz Baker, who also lived in the apartment, soon attracted others in the apartment and Patrolman Cannon sent in an alarm. The fire was put out before the other apartments were badly damaged but Harriet was dead when the d'tor from Harlem Hospital arrived. Painted Stolen Horse Green And Yellow; Rain Washed It Off Jerry Williams, coal and wood dealer of Long Island, tried a decoy trick in stealing a horse and painting him green, but it did not work and Williams had to explain his act in court last week. "You are the craziest man ever born," exclaimed the presiding judge. "Didn't you have sense enough to know that you couldn't steal a horse and conceal his identity by painting him a water color on a rainy day?" "Williams told the judge that he already had a rickety wagon and some old harness and happened to see a horse grazing in a field and belong to a place. The horse did not belong to anyone and since he needed a horse he didn't see any great wrong in borrowing the animal if he returned him to the pasture after he was done with his horse." "Who did you paint him both green and yellow?" "the judge asked. Williams explained "I started using yellow paint and it gave out so I finished with green." The judge would have probably sent Williams to Bellevue Hospital for observation, but Mark Weinbush, owner of the horse, asked the court to lenient with Williams so the judge suspended sentence Police Operations Against Bootleggers Continue Through The Past Week--Is Based On The Age's List of Addresses Frank Bastone, Tenant of Robert W.

Held Positions of Trust and Responsibility With Fine and Honorable Record When James Sampson, of 313 West 188th street, formerly secretary and business manager for the late Barron D. Wilkins and now holding the same position with Mrs. Carolyn Wilkins, the widow, was arraigned in Washington Heights Court on Friday, December 12, on charges of grand larceny made by Louis Williams. Judge H. Stanley Renaud, presiding, threw the case out of court and exonerated Sampson of the charge. Williams, known also as "Des", conducts the Harlem Young Men's Colored Democratic Association, a club organization, being known as the steward, and he rents quarters for the organization in the building owned by estate of the late Mr. Wilkins at_198 West_134th street, corner of Seventh avenue.

ADOLPH HOWELL TO OPEN FUNERAL CHAPEL, 7th AVE. Former "Y" Residence Being Converted Into Model Mortuary Edifice H. Adolpli Howell, the well known funeral director and fraternal man, who purchased the former Y. W. C. A., dormitory building at 137th street and 7th avenue a year ago, is spending $25,000 remodeling the first floor of that building into a model funeral chapel. The remodel building will be of the gothic style of architecture—with a limestone front and heavy oak trimmings inside. There are several offices, and a chapel with a seating capacity of 300. When complete the establishment will be the finest of its kind for colored patron in the building to present plans the work will be complete by the first of January and the funeral establishment, now located at 107 West 136th street, will be moved to the new location HARLEM HOLDUP MEN JAILED BY OFFICERS COHEN AND CANNON HARLEM HOLDUP MEN JAILED BY OFFICERS COHEN AND CANNON There has been a decided decrease in the number of Harlest holdups since Patrolman Joseph Cohen and William Cannon put Charles Parsons of 2073 Seventh avenue, and three other men, Atkinson, John Brown and James Karnkness behind the bars. Officer Cohen arrested Atkinson, Officer Cannon brought Parsons in, and the other two were apprehended by detectives on information furnished by Officer Cohen. Saturday night, December 13, the store of George Loles at 248 West 133rd street was robbed, Loles being held up by two colored men at the point of a revolver. Officer Cohen was passing the corner of 134th street and 8th avenue, when he heard a woman crying, "Robbers Police" Just then he caught sight of a man running into the hallway at 268 West 134th street, and on following, caught the fugitive on the roof. This was Atkinson, and the police officer, Poles as one of the holdup men who had robbed him. The prisoner was taken to the 16th Precinct station on West 135th street. A few minutes later, Officer Cannon walked into the station with another prisoner, hooked as Parsons, who had also been identified by Loles as one of the robbers' Parsons had been pointed out to Officer Cannon by an unidentified man as one of the holdup men, and Parsons also took to his heals, being finally caught and arrested on a neighboring roof. Eater on, Brown, and Harkness were picked up by detectives from the 135th street station on information which had been secured by Officer Cohn. These men made damaging admissions concerning the dhulop and killing of Nathan Handler at 65 West 135th street a few days ago. All the prisoners are held without bail. Vascular situation is that although Parson was afflicted by four wounds, both at the 135th street station and in the lineup at the Pombs prison, where the witnesses were taken by Officer Cannon, his fellow prisoner, Atkinson, admitting his own guilt, declares positively that Parsons had nothing to do with the holdup.

So close in the battle of credits that just on or two "clubs" of $20 in subscriptions for which $50,000 extra credits are allowed, would put any one of the leading contenders over the top and change the positions entirely. Don't Be Discouraged The race is just getting started and no telling who will be ahead next weeks at this time. An entirely new club member could enter the race now and get enough subscriptions in a week's time to lead the entire field. The entire $20 does not have to be turned in at one time to secure the $5,000 extra credits. Account is kept at the Age office of all cash turned in.

No scores of the standing are published scores of subscriptions will be volunteered and you may get the lion's share of these orders. You are sure to get your part and perhaps more—if you show aggressiveness now. Another Credit Standing The credits will be counted again Friday at 6 o'clock, and the result shown in Saturdays bulletin, and mailed to each club member. The credits will be counted twice each week.

Newbold, Director Division of Negro Education, Outlines Work Accomplished-State Superintendent A. T. Allen Indicates Statewide Trend in Education By WM. ANTHONY AERY Raleigh, N. C.-Three-pressuring needs in public education for Negroes in North Carolina—a larger type of rural school, a four year standard college, and better-trained teachers—emphasized in the recent annual Statewide, conference on Negro education which was called by A. T. Allen, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. This conference was held at Shaw University in Raleigh and was presided over by N. C. Newbold, director of the Division of Negro Education in the State Department of Public Instruction. There were present representative Negro educational leaders who represented many different types of schools. The conference also brought together a large number of white educational officials and the officers of State departments which help forward the work of public education throughout North Carolina. The meeting was characterized by its spirit of friendliness and racial co-operation. White and colored leaders listened attentively to Mr. Newbold's excellent presentation of the facts concerning the progress of Negro education throughout North Carolina, and they围� the enclosure of the State Superintendent A. T. Allan who muttified clearly what should be the future policy of North Carolina toward education—not only the education of colored people but also the education of all citizens of North Carolina. North Carolina's Program Director Newbold gave facts concerning progress in public education for Negroes in North Carolina. He said: "Within the past four years, including the present year, North Carolina has appropriated $2,200,000 for its higher institutions of learning for Negroes,—four Normal Schools and the Agricultural and Technical College. These are actual appropriations for buildings, improvements, and maintenance. A building program of nearly a million dollars, for the two-year period, 1921-1924, now being applied at the institution. This includes dormitories, dining halls, homes for principals, administration and class-room buildings, shops, laundries, homes for faculty members, and the like. "The salaries of Negro teachers in this quadrennium, 1921-1925, will be in excess of $7,000,000. New school buildings in cities, towns and rural districts, built in this period, will exceed a total cost of $5,000,000. Other special purposes, such as supervision, summer schools, vocational education, county training and high schools, will add $250,000. This will make a total expenditure in the four-year period of approximately $15,000,000 of public funds on the Negro schools of North Carolina. It is a fact that in the decade 1895-1905 that North Carolina did not spend on its whole public school system, including the State university and all other institutions, a sum as large as that it is now planning to spend within four years for Negro education. No four-year period prior to 1910 in the State's history) usd so large a sum on all the public schools, white and colored." Negroea Make Progress There has been genuine progress in the work of spreading Negro education throughout North Carolina. The enrollment in the three colored normal schools four years ago was. Practice school, 636; high-school department, 712; normal-school department, 2. This year there are in the practice school 811; high school 1316; normal, 216. In 1021 there were thirteen accredited high schools for Negroes in North Carolina. All of these except four were under private or church control. In 1924 the number was 34, of which 12 are public high schools. The enrollment in standard high schools for this year follows First year, 1467; second year, 1468; third year, 1469; fourth year, 500. The enrollment in non standard high school last year was 1547. Four years ago North Carolina employed 3779 Negro teachers. Of this number 945 (249 percent) held standard certificates and 2834 non-standard certificates. During 1923-1924, 5037 Negro teachers were employed. Of this number 2679 (5319 per cent) held standard certificates, 2358 non-standard. Summer-school attendance has grown in four years from 2690 to 4257. This year 84.5 per cent of all Negro teachers in North Carolina attended summer school. Of this number 362 were at Hampton Institute six to twelve weeks and approximately 100 others attended Columbia University, Chicago University, and other similar institutions Rogenwald Schools To July 1, 1924, North Carolina had built 422 Rosenwald Schools including ten teachers' homes, at a total cost of $1,794,438. From that time to November 11, North Coralina added eleven more Rosenwald Schools at an approximate cost of $47,850. This made a grand total of $1,842,288. Of this total cost $1,103,824 came from public-school students, $36,264 from the volunteered people themselves; $51,745 was contributed by white people and $123,960 was contributed by Julius Rosenwald, well-known philanthropist of Chicago. Four years ago the Jeans County supervisor reached in then various group and county meetings 98,329 people. Last year they held approximately the same number of conferences. The attendance however, had increased to 218,803. In 1920 the Jeans supervisors passed away their own property and labor for the improvement $24,500. Last year they raised $124,418 which is nearly three times the total amount of salary paid all Jeans teachers. Teachers College For Negroes. At the present time North Carolina does not own an institution of higher education, but treats its principals and teachers in high schools and State normal schools, and Mr. Newbold. "Public opition in North Carolina among the legislators and State officials, seeming to favor the establishment of such an infiltration now. It is confidently expected that a favorable action on this matter will be at the next Assembly which meets in October." Director Newbold, stated that the Agricultural and Technical College at Greenboro had already developed standard courses of study in its particular field, and that it now has a physical plant and equipment adequate to offer standard college courses in agriculture, engineering, and other industrial and technical fields. It is prepared to train men for leadership in industrial, commercial, and business life. The Gloster State Normal School at Winston-Salem has been definitely shaping its plans and policies come a standard teachers' college. This school is ready to begin work as a standard college. The Durham State Normal School, formerly the National Training School, will have within two to four years a thoroughly modern plant for the service of the State. Director Newbold ventured the prediction that when the Durham State Normal School gets itself ready in physical plant, equipment, faculty, and student body, for the establishment of a liberal arts college for Negroes, the State of North Carolina will be ready to meet this additional need, and build such a college in Durham. . Problems in Negro Education Superintendent Allen outlined State problems relating to Negro education. He called attention to these facts: (1) The average enrollment per white teacher is 35.1; per Negro teacher is 32.7. (2) The average daily attendance per white teacher, rural and city, is 25.7; per Negro teacher, 32.4. (3) North Carolina has 1597 one teacher white schools and 1400 one teacher colored schools, while the colored people represent 30 per cent of the population. (4) North Carolina employs 5037 Negro teachers. The State needs 7088. (5) North Carolina has enrolled 247,000 colored children. Of this number 6.5 per cent are in grades 1, 2 and 3. (6) A longer school term is needed for colored children. (7) Colored children need to go to school when school is provided-80 per cent of the white children are in daily attendance; 72 per cent of the Negro children are in average daily attendance for city schools. In the rural schools 71 per cent of the white children are in daily average attendance, while 64 per cent of the colored children are in daily average attendance. (8) Of 187,000 Negro children in rural schools fewer than 2000 are in schools. There are however, 4000 Negro boys and girls in city high school. (9) Third or fourth grade education of little use to those who live on the farm and who need to know something of scientific agriculture. (10) There is a great need of teachers who are prepared to teach in the lower grades. Training Negro Teachers Four years ago in North Carolina there were no definitely organized courses offered for training teachers in the normal schools above the high school level. This year the enrollment has already reached 216. Nearly a hundred of these students will graduate next June with primary or grammar B certificates. Of the 216 students enrolled in storm departments there are 31 who are former teachers—people who have taught from one to ten years. In addition, 59 former teachers are now enrolled in the school schools, thus making a total of high school departments of the nor-110 former teachers enrolled this year in these institutions. In the teacher-training departments in ten private school 348 students are hired in high school of high school 244 are in the high school and 93 are in the college North Carolina towns and cities draw heavily upon Howard, Fisk, Wilberforce, Lincoln, Hampton, Tuskegee, Atlanta and other institutions for their teachers. Nearly 6000 Negroes were enrolled in high school in North Carolina last year. Approximately 750 will graduate from the fourth year of high school next spring. Director Newbold concluded his address with this statement: "North Carolina has faith in its Negro people it spends millions upon their education. It believes that there should be one standard for teachers and not two." North Harlem Dental Clinic Reports 534 Visits by 176 Children North Harlem Dental Clinic Reports 534 Visits by 176 Children One hundred and seventy-six children have made a total of 534 return visits to the North Harlem Dental Clinic between August 18 and December 1, according to a report issued today by Dr Joseph H. Jaffer of Columbia University, consulting dentist to the clinic conducted by the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee of the New York Tuberculosis Association. "Harlem should be proud of its dental clinic and proud of the dentists who have been giving of their services in order that the teeth of children shall not be neglected. There no one can be where the United States has as yet through the generosity of its dentists, brought about any such noteworthy accomplishment as the North Harlem Dental Clinic." The following summary of treatments given at the clinic, thus far, was made public. Total prophylaxis, 19, total refer red for X-ray S; total fillings (cement and silver) 80, total extractions 148, total treatments, 183. It is alleged that this action was necessary to save the head of the order: from bodily harm, although it is also alleged that while he was being escorted from the lodge room someone unidentified individual reached over the shoulder of District Deputy S. B. Mitchell and struck the grand exalted ruler, Mr. Wilson was not injured, however. Deputy Lovett Was Beaten Who, it seems, accompanied the shift of the meeting, was not so fortunate. According to report, Lovett was severely beaten and badly injured in the mule that occurred, and had to be rescued, by Police Officer Samuel J. Battle, who is a member of the lodge. Lovett was taken home in an automobile and had to receive medical attention—it is said. What is declared to be an authenticate account of the happenings at the meeting has been given The Age by the eyewitness referred to above, who is an Elk in good standing. J. Dalmust 'Steele, exalted ruler of Manhattan Lodge, was a candidate for reelection in the balloting which was to be held on the occasion of this meeting. District Deputy Dawn B. McDaniels invited Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson to be present and preside. The invitation was accepted and the grand exalted ruler was accompanied by Grand Secretary, George E. Bates of Newark, and Grand Esquire J. ("Blondy") Brown of New York City; Others occupying seats on the platform were District Deputies McDaniels and S. B. Mitchell, Past Exalted Ruler Joseph Albright, Exalted Ruler Brown of Imperial Lodge, No. 127, and Past Deputy Cheshire of Newark. Steele Objected to Rulings After routine business had been transacted, the lodge was turned over to the grand exalted ruler, who took the gavel and proceeded to name officers to fill the various statutes during the election. The first hitch came when the fitted Ruler Steele was named to fill the air esteemed leading knight, Steele, objecting, but also insisting that Steele must serve firmly, the chair named Sandy P. Jones as aylet the duties of which entail absence from the lodge room. Mr. Steele, it is alleged, made a strong protest, declaring that "Brother Jones had an important duty to perform on the lodge floor and could not be put on an outer door station." The important duty, it developed, was that of placing Steele in nomination for reelection. But the grand exalted ruler declined to change the assignment, declaring that Jones could be called in at the proper time, and 'function to his heart's content'. This, it appears, was not satisfactory to Steele, and he challenged the authority of the grand exalted ruler to conduct the election of a subordinate lodge, demanding a citation of the general law on the matter. Law Supported G. E. R. Wilson The law was read, by follows: "When the grand exalted ruled sees fit to set up a Grand Lodge to conduct the business of a subordinate lodge, he has the executive authority to do so." That started the exhibition. It is alleged that Exalted Ruler Steele jumped down from his station and rushed to the chesterfield, declaring that Manhattan Lodge would not stand for such a ruling. It is further alleged that he removed the Bible and elk head from the chesterfield; mounted the stand, and peremptorily ordered the "Grand Lodge" set up by the grand exalted, ruler out of the hall, at the same time telling members of the lodge to go home as there would be no objection that night under such rulings. Scene of Turbulent Strife By this time the excitement had reached fever heat. The lodge room was a scene of turbulent strife, the members being in a frenzy. Angry men were yelling, "Let me get to him," pistols are said to have been drawn, benches were overturned and broken, and the presiding officer's stand was smashed to splinters. The supporters of Exalted Ruler Steele were making routine efforts to get to Grand Exalted Ruler motion, it is charged, but the head of the order remained cool and calm. Finally, when the order had succeeded in setting up a safety line, the grand exalted ruler and members of his cabinet were escorted from the hall. The one blow which rached him was harmless During the fracas, some one removed the lodge charter from the hall but after the three grand lodge officers it had been escorted to the outside and the room cleared of visiting brethren from other city and out of town lodges, it is reported that Siecle-reconvened Manhattan Lodge, ordered the charter replaced on the wall, and then proceeded to hold an election, in which he was reelected to succeed himself as exalted fuler. Further Action Looked For Comment by some of those present at this meeting was that it was the stormiest session Manhattan had ever experienced, including even the period pressing the disruption which led to the defection of the men who, formed what is now known as Monarch Lodge. No 45-20 bodies, bearing the same number It is rumored that further action by the grand exalted ruler is bound to result from the occurrences at this meeting. Just what form this will take is impossible. That trouble was an effect by some of the New York Elks is indicated by a court that least one member of Grand Faulted Wilson's staff, residing in New York City, declined an invitation to attend this meeting and advised against Wilson being present. An interesting angle of the affair is the manner in which members of Monarch Lodge are said to be considering the alleged riotous conduct of members of Manhattan Lodge. This it is stated is resultant from the customary attitude of their brothers in Lidhams who are said to regard themselves a somewhat superior socially intellectually and culturally to the men who withdrew and formed a strong, growing bond with sufficient stamina to tempt the parent Lodge to identify number Monarch members are said to be, asking their Manhattan brothers, "Who's a rough neck now?"

She further stated that she did not care to go where she was not wanted and quietly left the hotel. On her way out one of the men insisted she accept the return of the ten dollars she paid. A letter has been written to Mr. Warburg and Mr. Zucker requesting an explanation of the insult given her. Confer With Com. Coler About Lincoln Hospital Revs. J. W. Robinson, A. C. Garner and P. A. Cullen held a conference with the Commissioner of Welfare on an important phrase of Lincoln Hospital life. A plan is on foot to have the city take over the hospital and by all means to retain the nurse training department of that institution. Several others were invited, the time being so short, it was impossible to get a larger committee.

The funeral services were held in the Flagger Memorial Church, and nearly one-half of the church was occupied by colored people. By request, the active pal bearers were eight young colored men, of which Dr. N. W. Cellier is principal. The honorary pal bearers were some of the most prominent white citizens of this section of America. nter MORE POLICE NEEDED Not long ago The Age called the attention of the city authorities to the need of more police in Harlem. The increase of crimes of violence and theft in this section has accentuated the need. An increase in the force of patrolmen and detectives is absolutely necessary to cope with the audacious criminals, who do not hesitate at murder and assault in their plans of robbery and burglary. Crimes of violence are largely due to the fact that too many people are walking around Harlem carrying deadly weapons. When a man, or a youth of unbridled impulses, carries a gun, there is a temptation to use it on the least proposition. There should be a general frisking of the floating population, with a view to disarming them of their concealed batteries. Too many policemen have been killed without warning, because they did not search the suspects whom they arrested. Take away the guns from those who have no legal or moral right to carry them and protect the general public. Another thing that would add to the efficiency of the force in Harlem is for the colored officers, who have qualified as efficient patrolmen, to take advantage of every opportunity to get on the detective force. In this position their value as protectors of the law-abiding public would be redoubled. When an opportunity of this kind was offered to the officers of the sixteenth precinct, none of them accepted it. The right thing for them to do would be to qualify themselves in every way to take advantage of such opportunities for promotion. If they do not do, they cannot complain if they are keptounding the pavements. With an increase in the uniformed force and a greater number of experienced men in plain clothes, familiar with the habits and peculiarities of the habitual criminals, more could be done in curbing the lawlessness that is now too prevalent. A general frisking of the frequenters of criminal resorts for concealed weapons should be a conspicuous feature of the clean-up. With some such measures as these, rigorously carried out, the streets of Harlem might be made safer for the law-abiding citizen and his family. --- CAMPAION UNDER DIFFICULTIES The recent campaign to raise the annual budget for the Colored Women's Branch of the Young Women's Christian Association was conducted under considerable disadvantages, but nevertheless the management of this branch succeeded in raising five thousand dollars out of the six thousand that was hoped for. What made their task so difficult was the criticism of the parent organization, due to the exclusion of a colored girl from the central school of physical education, solely on account of her color. This discrimination naturally had a slight effect on the temper of the community, and it was only through the recognition of the good work done by this branch that the success recorded was achieved. ```markdown ``` While the City Board finally voted to admit colored girls into classes in all branches, where like classes were not being given in the Colored Branch, the fact was not given to the newspaper press in general, and hence did not receive the publicity that was accorded the act of discrimination. The question of discrimination as raised in the particular case referred to appeared to have been ignored in the statement as given out, and apparently still remains unsettled, notwithstanding the declaration of policy adopted. There seems to have been an attempt to judge the issue involved, despite the efforts by certain members of the board to commit it to a broad open door policy. ```markdown ``` The Colored branch in Harlem was hampered by this, exclusion policy; from doing as well as it had expected in its budget campaign, but its officers and management are gushing their attempt to do the work committed to their charge. The need of a new residence house, to take the place of the one formerly used for that purpose, is greatly felt. The lots adjoining the branch building on West 137th street, which were secured as a site for the residence house and dormitories, have not, yet been utilized for that purpose. The need is one that should be met as soon as circumstances will permit and the work of erecting a suitable building for this purpose, should not be delayed much longer. This department would soon become self-supporting and would justify an immediate investment. The work done by this branch through its various departments is a good one and serving of support. It should be extended by the furnishing of those greater facilities demanded by the growth of the work and the greater needs for its extension in the Harlem community. COLLECTOR OF THE PORT The Collector of Customs of the Port of New York is the highest Federal position in the gift of the President in this Eagle. The holding of this position has been the bond of many controversies between the President and the Senators from New York. The appointment of William H. Robertson as collector by President Garfield was followed by the resignation of Senator Roscoe Conkling and his colleague, Thomas C. Platt. The death of President Garfield soon after, placed a former collector in the Presidency, in the person of Chester A. Arthur. Of late years the office has ceased to be the center of such aerilmonious political controversies, and the incumbent has been allowed to take office and pursue his official career, without undue newspaper publicity. The duties of the position are important, as a large proportion of the Customs duties imposed by the tariff laws of the United States is collected through this office. Hundreds of employees are engaged in the enforcement of these laws and the collection of the money for duties, besides combatting the schemes of smugglers to avoid paying such tax. All this demands the services of a small army of guards and inspectors, weighers, gaugers and appraisers. The present head of this department is the Hon. Philip Elting, who came from up the State where he had won honorable prominence in Republican politics. At the recent dinner of the United States Custom Inspectors' Association, Collector Elting was the guest of honor and made a speech. Among other things he said that during his twenty-one months occupancy of the office, the relationship between himself and the force under him had been most pleasant. He pronounced the men in the customs service most efficient and promised so long as they served the government faithfully and the public courteously, they would have his support. He affirmed his belief in the square deal, and his disbelief in race or religious bigotry. This is good doctrine for a high public official to promulgate. Courtesy to the public should always be included in the performance of faithful service to the government, otherwise that service might easily breed contempt and disgust in the citizen who is treated discourteously. A square deal in the Customs service means the accordance of equal opportunity for service and promotion for all classes of employees, regardless of race or color. A colored inspector who is efficient and courteous, can examine the baggage of first class passengers acceptably as a white inspector possessing the same qualities. In another branch of the Treasury service, there have been instances where business houses have preferred the examination of their stock and accounts by a colored examiner, merely because the latter, while no less rigorous in his examination and insistent upon the observance of the regulations, preserved the amenities of courtesy during the process. Collector Elting's doctrine sounds all right. Now let him out is into practice. PASSING OF A LABOR LEADER The death of Samuel Gompers at San Antonio last Saturday, after an uninterrupted leadership of over forty years as the head of the American Federation of Labor, marked the passing of a great figure in unionized labor. It was he who succeeded to the place formerly held by T. V. Powderly, when the power of the Knights of Labor began to decline in 1881. Then the American Federation was founded by Mr. Gompers and soon outstripped the older organization. Forty-three times was Mr. Gompers chosen as its president, often after a strenuous struggle, but in spite of all opposition he managed to retain his supremacy. It was under his leadership that organized labor became recognized as a factor in national affairs. Before the organization of the Federation, labor was split up into warring factions, but under Mr. Gompers' leadership it gained cohesion and influenced legislation. Among the measures passed to protect the interests of the workers through his efforts, were the eight hour bill for government employees, various state laws fixing maximum hours for labor, the Federal workmen's compensation law, the establishment of Labor Day as a holiday, the law limiting the use of court injunctions in labor disputes and other measures in the interest of the unions. Mr. Gompora maintained personal and friendly relations with six of the Presidents of the United States and was often called into consultation with them on questions of national importance. They were Presidents Wakinley, Rouseyelt, Taft, Wilson, Harding and Coolidge. This was a far step for his newborn in London in 1850, who came to this country as a aboy of thirteen and was apprehended as a sigmaster. Notwithstanding his foreign ancestry, Mr. Compass was intensely American in sentiment as it was reflected in his dealings with labor. He stood for the organization of all wages earners, irrespective of creed, color, race or nationality. He sought to impress this policy upon the American Federation of Labor, but was not always successful in combatting the tendencies toward color discrimination and aggregation that were often manifested in the action of that body and its affiliated organisations. His sincerity in his contention for equal rights for the black workers of America was indicated in a letter he addressed to the editor of The Age, at the time of the convention of the Federation held at Buffalo in 1917. Among other things he said: "There are many colored wage earners who hold membership in the unions affiliated to the A. F. of L. The constitution provides for the organization of separate unions of colored workers, when that may be deemed advisable and to the best advantage of the workers themselves as well as to the general labor movement. Provision is also made for the organization of separate central labor unions when that course is deemed when." "There are several central bodies now affiliated to the A. F. of L. whose delegates represent local unions of colored workers only, are doing our level best to organize the wage earners whether white or colored, and we shall continue in that course." Mr. Gompers seemed to have clung to his personal convictions on this matter of organizing the colored workers, as he referred to the subject along the same lines upon a later meeting with the editor of The Age. Of recent years, however, his influence over the federation was often threatened with defeat, and his policies were overruled or made the subject of compromise. As a thorough going American citizen and a stalwart advocate of the right of labor to improve its conditions, Gompers deserved the respect accorded him both at home and abroad. It was through his support that the Federation was introduced into Porto Rico when that island became an American possession; and did much to redeem the native workers from a condition vorging upon peonage. His mission to Mexico, which preceded his death, included the welcoming to power of the new administration of President Calles, who represents the cause of labor in that country. We trust that the policy of Gompers, looking toward the inclusion of Negro labor in the ranks of the American Federation, may be made more effective and be carried out on a broader plane by his successor. The interests of the workers of both races demand such a policy. NORTH CAROLINA CHANGES In the New York World, a few weeks ago, Lester A. Walton noted the great change that has come over the educational policy of North Carolina, as it affects the Negro. Within the past eleven years the amount expended annually for Negro education has grown from $225,000 to $4,000,000, this is an increase of 1,500 per cent and a sum greater than that expended by the state for its entire educational program, white or colored, in any year prior to 1910. This policy of developing improved educational facilities for the Negro youth in North Carolina has received the endorsement of leading educators and the State press as whole. The opinion that education pays, whether the subject of it be white or black, seems to have been accepted by common consent. Equality of opportunity in this respect is the doctrine that the State is timing to carry out. Prof. N. C. Newbold, director of Negro Education of the State department of Public Instruction, speaking to a meeting of teachers at Greenville, was quoted as follows: In the New York World, a few weeks ago, Lester A.

Newbold, director of Negro Education of the State Department of Public Instruction, speaking to a meeting of teachers at Greenville, was quoted as follows: "Some time ago there was a feeling when you educated a Negro you destroyed a good cook or a good farm hand. The same thing might be said of white people and Indians as well as Negroes. I do not believe this line of reasoning sufficient ground on which to refuse to give a Negro child the privilege of getting an education." In order to combat the oft quoted statement that education ruins the Negro for good citizenship, Prof. Newbold called attention to statistics gathered from reliable In order to combat the oft quoted statement that education ruins the Negro for god citizenship, Prof. Newbold called attention to statistics gathered from reliable sources, showing the small percentage of educated-Negroes who have been in trouble in the courts. Less than one half of one per cent of criminal cases involve. Negroes who have had the opportunity to get an education, he said. The need for professionally trained leaders, such as doctors, lawyers, nurses and other professions, was also given due emphasis. Prof. Newbold further declared that "North Carolina has belief in its Negro people, has spent millions for their education, and believes that there should be one standard for teachers and not two". "The greatest need for the future is a standard four-year teachers' college, which it is thought may be provided by the next legislature." After that must come a four-year standard college in liberal arts. With such a broad program for the future, it is plain to be seen that the cause of education is looking up in North Carolina. "This policy does credit to the wisdom of both its lawmakers and its educators. The Age Readers' Forum The second death of Emmond D morley, a member of the British Parliaments, which occurred in London, recall the interest that he showed in West African affairs. He was among the first to expose the horrors perpetrated upon the natives of the Congo, under Belgian administration. This exposure, made in 1904 at great risk to himself, Mr. Morley followed with a series of books showing the African roots of the World War, and that exploitation of black people had brought distribution on white European battlefields. Among his works are "The Black Man's Burden," "Red Rubber," "The French Congo," and a series of pamphlets published by the Union for Democratic Control in England, of which Mr. Morley was one of the founders. He also cultured a monthly magazine called "West Africa," which dealt with British and native interests in a most elaborate manner. The Louisville American Baptist printed without comment the following official returns of the election: In Kentucky: The vote for Coolidge was 369, 140; Davis 375,372; majority for Coolidge, 20,597. The vote for Senator was: Backett, 406,121; Stanley, 381,603; majority for Sackett, 24,598. It will be noted that 771,762 voted in Presidential race and 787,726 voted east in the Senatorial race or 15,854 more than the Presidential vote. La Follette received 38,465. This seems to make Kentucky fairly debatable ground between the two old parties. The other Southern States should follow. Declaring that old age is honorable, the Cincinnati Union indulged in the following disquisition upon that familiar theme: Strange how foolishly most people look upon age. What is more honorable, what is more enviable, than a long and well spent life? Truly, the Chinese are far ahead of us in that regard, for they venerate age and burn incense at the shrine of their beloved colored people particularly, have never thought sufficiently to realize, that age is a relative term. The time elaping since our birth is not so plucky a factor as many people imagine. Some people are older at 18 then others at 50; some are younger at 60 then others at 20. Many men and women are older and better work mentally and physically than others one-half their age. Truly, both men and women are as old as they feel. We owe to our associates enough consideration to present a pleasing, appearance. Many mistake this duty by going to the extreme of trying to be older and in consequence make themselves book酬酬 rather than youthful. Let us dress in accordance with the season. Let us act in accordance with our feelings, and let us thank God for the many years given, and pray to him for as many more and the editor of the Union is Evidently the editor of the Union is Can't Rush Coolidge Editor ! The New York Age: I commend you for the ditorialu under the caption, "Rushing the President". It was not, only, tenible but timely. No one is able to rush you. Just give him time. He'll make good. You can already see this in what he had to say in his annual message under the subjects, "The National Election" and "The Negro." The southern Democrats are already getting nervous over his utterance to what subjects. No one can say what's in the part of Coolidge's head but himself. mintner CHAS. H. MOORE Greenanor, N. C. Colored Minister For Chaplain in Congress Editor of The New York Age Now that the great political battle of 1924 has been fought and the victory so largely and joyously won by the Republican party the day of rewarding the faithful friends is at hand. There were no voters in this country more zealous for the success of the party of Lincoln, Sumner, Grant, (and the entirely forgotten 'sainted Joseph B. Foraker) Garrison and others of their kind, who believed in a square deal to all American黑客 alike, than the colored voters. They stood by Mr. Coolidge. And now the colored voters have a perfect right to expect some of the black Republican victors. And they should look the proper ones squarely in the lace andark for what they want. The colored people should quit playing the part of "crabs" in a barrel. They must cease to pull back the fellow who is trying to reach the top. Unlike the "crabs," they should learn to push forward, instead of pulling, back any worthy and competent aspirants for honorable positions. Too often such mean things have been done and the good endeavor this place to keep it up. Allow this humble writer to make this suggestion: placing in nomination a young and worthy minister of the Gospel of Christ for the chaplaincy of the House of Representatives at Washington I refer to the Rev William D Battle, D D, pastor of Galbraith A M E, Zion Church at Washington, D C. The Rev Dr Battle is a graduate of Livingstone College, at Salisbury, N C, and is also an honored graduate of Lincoln University. You would be an honor to our race to be represented in the U N House of Representatives by such a brilliant and worthy minister of the gospel, as the Rev William D Battle, D D. The Republican party owes- the- colored voters. We submit to those who thus attempt to retract the opportunity of education then to work because this far exceeds the growth of the Negro population in the group in St. Paul, of whatever origin has been better citizen than the Negro group. And we further mention that great children are not born by race with petty prejudices and infidelity from parents who will not soon to devise their fellow citizens of the right to care an honors living. The Northwestern editor has struck the right note in denouncing this effect to deprive the race of equal opportunity in the industrial field. Self-interest is no higher sentiment could be appealed to. Should the St. PaulBonus against such unwise restriction The Kansas City Coll printed an editorial plea to the promoters of duty to stop using the children as leser. It said among other things When Sir Walter Raleigh who credited with having taken the pen to back to Europe from the nets what was then the savage country of America, the people refused to believe that the curious tubers were safe to eat. They considered them poisonous. They dared not give them as much as a trial to took some time—a hundred years to the nobles—to prey on the population that they was. They fed them to the poor long before they gave them the benefit of the excellent and hard article of diet. The German used them for cattle and for poultry. The French would rather have fed them to eat them and it was until Parmentier (isn't there a way of cooking potatoes, that name?) invigiled the king to take them and to potato boil the bouquet of the citizens would be safe. So that the royal family continued to after eating them, the French began the use of them. In Scotland the clergy praised against the poor pollutant. It was the fruit which Adam had sinned in Leprosy which was thought to be caused by England the culturer this innocence as a capitalistic trick suspicion as a capitalistic trick monks in Belgium learned the value and taught people to grow them and accept them in payment of dues.

POOR HEALTH for you NEW YORK CITY ASSOCIATION canons admit of the theory ascribed to a prominent English populist, that a man's unfailable zeal in thirty years of age after which he should be schooled to death. Many American employers became convert to Dr. Oleral's theory and still keep up the bias against the employment of those of advanced years. In an editorial headed "Our Ku Klux Governor" the Atlanta Independent paid its respects to the present executive of the State of Georgia in the following fashion: Georgia is a great state and leads many of her sisters along many progressive lines, and we have many things to be the proud of. But we have one distinction that we do not think any other state in the union has, and that is a governor who openly confesses that he is a member of the Ku Klux Klan, a discipline of the hooded order; that he belongs to a set of men whose strongest point is to judge their identity, and that he does not order the community, outside of the regular process set up by the constitution and the law of the land. Not long ago our governor addressed the national meeting of the hooded order in Kansas City, in which he defended the order, attacked President Wilson, and spoke slightly of the Catholic Church, and now he comin along and pardon a member of the hooded order Bibb Obama without pining the prison mission an opportunity in pass upon the merits of his brother Ku Klux's case. There is no other state in the union or the South so handicapped, or to which we may point with certainty as having a member of the Ku Klux as its governor. This may account for the pre-eminence Georgia has gained in the way of mob law and lynching. As the independent sightly observed, the remedy is in the hands of the people, who elect the governor. Discussing the project of a Greater St. Paul, which includes the opening of a great Ford plant in the Spring, the Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal said: But there is on a phase in the building of a greater St. Paul which has a sister respect. There has been a persistent rumor which has come to this office repeatedly—in the last eight months to the effect that certain business interests in our city have attempted to influence the Ford organization against the employment of colored men. At first we word loth to credit such a rumor because we could not ascribe to the business men of St. Paul such low and unfair methods towards a hard-working and defenseless group of peace and law-abiding men. But within the or less verified the rumor has been more or less verified by responsible people and we feel that it deserves editorial comment. The Ford plant in Detroit employs upwards of 10,000 colored men. That they are employed and have been eminent in their work, is a powerful conducive of their efficiency. The Negro in St. Paul seeks no special privilege—all that he asks is a 'fair field brothers' skin should not be a bar to his being elected as chaplain in the lower House of the Congress of the United States. 'Let there be no "erabs" in the endeavor to put this worthy young minister over. The Rev. Dr. Battle is mine—he is yours—and let's all push him forward, instead of pulling him back, and, if the Republicans in Congress prove to be the friends last claimed, they were ultimately nothing to keep them from thus recognizing their faithful colored friends. J C CUNNINGHAM Washington, D.C. Haitians Are Uneasy Editor of The New York Age: I am writing to inform you that the Haitians are uneasy and in a state of mind bordering on despair, as a result of the failure of the Washington Government to make any statement relative to their withdrawal of the occupation from the Island. We earnestly hope it will take action in that direction as soon as our delegate, M. Pierreg Hudcourt, who arrived in this country two weeks ago, has seen the President and submitted to him the grievances of the people against the occupation, which has been and is still a stumbling block to their progress in every way. Mr. Borno, whose hands are standardized by the American veterans, has just given another proof to his master, Mr. Russell, that he is the right man in the right place by passing orders preventing Mr. Jolibois' physielan from visiting him in the American military prison, where seriously ill, he is still being illegally detained for alleged press charges. Mr. Borno is so devoid of good feeling that he said a few days ago that patriotism did not pay And as an example, he pointed the contrast between Jolibois and other nationalist leaders, who have been subjected to all kinds of sufferings why are suffering the supreme sacrifice for the redemption of their little country, and himself and some few of his kind who are living in luxury, as their reward for being instrumental in the subjugation of their congeners, wrong cannot triumph everlastingly. We know that President Coolidge in whose justice and equity we believe, will take heed of our appeal to him and that he will soon issue the decree which will mean so much to us JOSEPH MIRAULT Twenty newsboys wanted to sell The New York Age.

But sometimes they use metal which might not to obtain. Begging for that, they might be given that charity. A nickel earned men an armband, or doing a chore and given it, in a real gift. A gift which made possible by some one's industry, and represents only the boy's likeness to a boy hurts him and chills him in after life, through his lowered stairs. Society cannot afford to have in your people learn any other habits of the industry, thrift, honesty, purpose and service. It takes, then, all to make a fully rounded character. Begging is the gambling—it substitutes a short cut of weakness, for the sure fire lure of experience of mankind that lies is the basis of success. Begging is a short, but who wants to be a gar? There is food for reflection in the side of the question presented in the Cal. The indiscriminate use of children as solicitors for charity is up to lead to the uses of one kind or another. The most effect of such employment on the Cal. is not the least of these. The California Eagle, published at Los Angeles, recorded one pastor whom the Ku Klux could not bulldoze or build it said: All honor to Rev C. G. Collin of the Second Baptist Church in the courageous dusting from his husband edifice of Klanism who with commite gall obtruded themselves午 Sunday. This severend gentil man was not intimidated in the least, as the saint doubtless imagined that he would be which would allow them to get away with their impudent stunt. He respect the imbled fault of members of its order who look upon his people as inferior, undertaking to profess their friendship a donation of money of being received with their faces hidden. The incident leaves no doubt of the lengths to which the Klan leaders will vicinity, will go in an effort to boast vicinity, will go in an effort fit to boast themselves up. We are glad to hear of one minister who had the courage to refuse the buryery of the Klan. He is truly a member of the church militant. By Dr. B. S.

E. Church After having, extended the courtesy of his pulpit during the recent sixty days celebration to some of the most prominent clergymen of the country. Dr. Church was again to be found at his church post. The season of jubilation being over all hands now assumed the task of the operation of this institution for the development of human character. Dr. Cullen's morning message was a direct appeal to the younger element in the congregation: While addressing all, he sought, to impress, especially upon those who are on the threshold of life's endeavor the greater importance of being prepared for their life's work. Said he: The near, ways are not al- wajsa God's ways. The world today is looking, for short cuts to prominence and people are seeking an abbreviation of God's into heaven. The great secret of God's method in leading the Israelites was to shun the short way—He led them to a strong foundation, met great challenges, time in matters that are vital, as the bitter experiences of many show that they failed because they did not wait to say a strong foundation. He did not take a quick route to Bethlehem but bled the fullness of time and at the exact moment presented a sin-cursed world with its Redeemer. As we not be distracted by the churches as they do some other public places but let us wait on the Lord sending us, our motions and walking home before Him and in His own city as well as others will be exhangelled. The Lyceum at four o'clock was instructive as well as entertaining. Addresses were made by Charles C. Allison and Miss Theodora Holly, a native of Haiti, Mr. Allison has the art of writing, social problems makes him an interesting and instructive speaker. His talk was a long the line of developing the lyceum as a counter influence to some of the more brilliant but less helpless attractions that draw our youngest most confident in their own ability and in the success of the work in order to be able to invite others. He said the lyceum can be made a feeder for the church if special effort is made to induce young people from some of the Sabatab districts with the lyceum and, hence, into the church. A detailed and absorbing account of the life of the Hutian people was given by Miss Holley. Miss Holley, a woman of high attimations, was recently an instruction teacher in a national school now in interest of an industrial school for Haitian girls which she hopes to found. This young lady spoke at length about her people, their problems and their aspirations. How commanded of the Enlightened course, she represented the same asnessy as Toussaint L'Orverture. After Miss Holley had spoken a special collection was lifted as an aid in her work. She Colman and her numbers. R.

"My Trip to Bethelhem," the place where our Saviour was born, "The choir will render special Christmas music." This promises to be one of the greatest services of the year. We are expecting a crowd that will tax the capacity of our auditorium. The entire offering at this service will go to the members of our choir, whose services have had been such a tremendous effect upon the spiritual life of our church. Ruah Memorial Church Dr. Oliver delivered a scholarly and masterful sermon last Sunday morning on 9th "Unawarded Prayer," the text of the 1982 edition of the effectual fervent prayer of righteousness availible much.

He must endow with the spirit of Jacob, the faith of Abraham, and the patience of Job. In order that his faith might know his prayers, Dr. Ollyne adapted them to use. The Lord's Prayer is a model prayer and smoke a warfare-publicity tool in its ministration, and lives up to its reverence of the mind of those who worshiped those servants, but that prayer is the most important thing in the life of the Christian, but it must be effectual and fervent in order to accomplish any good.

The net gain during the year was 1303. The more illiterate pilblesters there are in the great highways and by ways of the "world." Dr. Freckl M. J. Jacob, general secretary of the A. M. E. Zion Church was the speaker at the morning service. Text-from which his subject was deduced, Luke 3:22. Close reading of the spiritual speaker was at his best, and the large audience indicated their satisfaction in a responsive way. The Sunday-school rally and report of the three nights bazaar was perhaps the feature-of all financial efforts. An elaborate program for Christmas has been arranged. At 3 o'clock the funeral services over the remains of the late Charles Ray were held. The deceased was the last to be buried and served faithfully during the years of his membership. The end came suddenly Thursday morning after an illness of but a few days. Dr. Jacobs and Brown officiated. He leaves a note. At 7:45 p.m. the Rev. Thomas Clarke, a local preacher of the church, gave the evening message from Luke 8 and 9; subject, "The Master Teacher in the School of Progress" had been on the sick list during the week and confined to his home. Bishop J. S. Caldwell of this diocese will be the speaker Sunday evening, December 21, and confirm the confirmation class. During the week three classes for instruction were held: (a) How to form Methodists; (b) What we believe as Methodists. These lectures are given yearly to those that unite with the church and have proven of great value to those that are uninformed as to the church laws and governing powers. The fourth Sunday night in December will be the observer of the church. A rally with special music will be amoove-the features of the evening. The class-leaders will be hosts to the members of their classy and friends. A casual survey of the present administration shows a large change in the administrative program of the church, not none but most standing than the present changes being worked out. Sunday, December 21, the morning service will begin at 10.30, instead of 10.45, the evening service begins at 8.15. Instead of a space between the morning service and the Sunday-school at 11 a.m. The Christian Endeavor, Society will get fifteen minutes more for their service, thus the entire program for Sunday will expect an increase in change. Beginning January 1, the members will not be required to pay what is termed class dues in the Methodist Church. Instead, they will be asked to add five cents per member in the final analysis will total the sum necessary for the activities of the church. The problem of carrying more than three hundred, dellinquent members will probably be solved through the membership in session when they voted to pridle the membership. After proper notice has been given and a meeting called under the law of the church, such membership of the church. Not since the administration of Dr. F. J.

Bethany Baptist Church Sunday was a 'bust day' at Birchway. Notwithstanding the inclement weather the services were largely attended. The Holy Spirit seems to have prevailed which may largely be due to the series of prayer meetings conducted last week, and which will 'continue through this week'. Both members and friends have been encouraged to attend the prayer services; and God in the Holy Spirit has visited each service. Dr. Kimball '44, Warren, the pastor, who was a teacher for Sunday were, very, instructive. Many are smaking an application for membership for the last Sunday of the month.

Recollections of Colored Baseball In New York As It Was 15 Years Ago Over at the CV B A, where the baseball fans, actors, and ball players hang out, some of the old timers began to talk the other evening about baseball fifteen year ago and the remarkable progress organized baseball has made among colored people during that period. At present there are two organized leagues employing 350 players. Fifteen years ago there were not enough players for four first-class teams. But somehow the teams of the past excited the fans to greater enthusiasm than the present day teams. Said one old timer, with a faraway look in his eyes: "The first really first class colored team which I remember was the Cuban Stars of fifteen years ago. They carried twelve of the greatest ballplayers that ever left Cuba—Gonzales and Garcia, catchers; Mendez, Messinjes and Koyer, pitchers, Parpetti, first baseman, Hernandez, second baseman, Bustamenti, shortstop; Moran, third baseman, Valdez left field; Palamena, center field, and Viola, right field." "This team played winter and summer and never tired of their labors Mendez, the greatest pitcher that ever left Cuba, pitched the deciding game in the series between Hilldale and Kansas City last fall. He held the hard hitting Hilldale team to three hits and won the championship for Kansas City, 3-1. Where is there a pitcher of today who can equal his record?" management of Jess and Eddie McMahon, now fight proponents at the Common. "Then came the famous Lincoln Giants of 1911, 1912 and 1913, under the wealth Club. This great team played the New York Giants, the Philadelphia Nationals, Philadelphia Athletics, Walter Johnson's All Stars, Ruhe Foster's American Giants, Indianapolis A B C, the St. Louis Giants, and then toured Cuba. "They were of only twelve men, and it nothing to see Joe Williams and Dick Redding pitch on Saturday and come back and pitch again Sunday—I have seen Dick Redding pitch Saturday against the Jamaica Woodhalls, against Ducky Holmes' It insiders on Sunday morning and against Mike Doulin's All Stars Sunday afternoon. In these three games he struck out 42 men and allowed only 4 hr. "The Lincoln's of that period included the following players, many of whom are still in action, Santop and Dr Wiley, catchers, Joe Williams, Dick Redding and Lee Wade pitchers, Leroy Grant, first baseman; "Homerun" Johnson, second baseman, John Henry Hood short stop, William Francis, third baseman, Judy Gan left field, Spottswood Poles, center field and Jimmy Lyons, right field." "From this undefeated aggregation has sprung at least four other league teams in the East and a dozen sem-pro teams in other parts of the country."

Mime: Payne Bushell In a Song Recital It was an evening of pleasure to the large number of people who I urate to be present on Thursday night, December 11, at Walker Memorial Baptist Church to hear Mime Efni Payne-Bushell, soonance in a song recital. All saints were filled when Mrs. Erasep Alexander rose to introduce the singer. In the introductory remarks, it was stated that Mme. Bushell has been singing since a girl; and though she has confined her efforts and service to the church, particularly as chorister. With these and other complimentary remarks of both the singer and her husband, Dr. J. D. Bushell, the singer came forward charnilymly, attired in a white coat and having a pink feathered fan in her hand. She rendered the following group of songs to good effect: Song Of The Soul ... Joseph Carl Bell The Swallows ... Frederick H. Cowen The Grey Wolf ... H. T. Burleigh. This was followed by remarks from DE. C. Atjulh Booker, pastor of St. Pauist Baptist Church. This second group of songs, which was received with favor, were: Mary Morning. Danza Whitley Caravan, Has Rested H. Lojir Carmine. H. Lane Wilson. This was followed by remarks form Dr. W. W. Brown, pastor Metropolitan Baptist Church. For the third group of songs, the singers appeared gaily gowned in african skirt silk crepe, wearin' a pearl peplake, and black satin slippers. And with added grace, which brought forth a well-developed tone quality, coloring and control, vended. De Rhib of Jorden Passin. Please Doan Let Dix Harves Passin. (H. T. Burleigh); and Ride.

Stevenson of the Emory St. Memorial and Dr. J. W. Burke pastor of Mother Zion Chinchin. Instead of closing with the last present number, A Birthday, by R. H. Wilson, the singer was accompanied by another number of Miles. The singer was, ably supported at the piano by Mrs. Mabel Diggs-Ford. The vocal having been given for the benefit of the present rally in the same church, at the close of the program, a large number of the members and children retired to the dining room of the church more than an hour was spent so closely.

Live Wire In Bronx Home Cause Of Girl's Burning --- Miss Myrille Washington, maid at the home of Mrs. Hockman, 152 Burns avenue, the Bronx was accidentally burned last week when a floor cloth saturated with oil ignited on coming in contact with an electric wire.

The lower part of her left arm is said to have been burned to the bone and there is danger of her losing it. damage, suit against Mrs. Hockman is alleged to have been filed by Watta and Sons, Attorney or Mrs. Washington.

The signals are very strong with two steps of audio frequency amplification. Tuning is very sharp. The use of unit-verifier, dials makes it possible to obtain mill-comercial tunin. The serial to be used is of the average length. The low less tuner offered by the Ace is built of the best materials obtainable. The cabinet is of real walnut. The panel is of mahogany bakelite and is further beautified by being enriched in gold; the base has three tube sets with the exception of the uninterfered dial. But the operation of the set is not to be compared with the other three tube sets. For one thing, the ordinary coupler set does not have the winding that the low less set has in its design of winding the honeycomb style. Both the primary and secondary PULLMAN PORTER NEWS BY JAMES H. HUGANS Among those whose names we have observed as contestants in the subscription prize contest, which is now being held by The New York Age, is that of A. L. Totten. To us this is pleasing for several reasons. First, because Mr. Totten is a-Pullman; porter who is actively identified with all those things 'which have an influencer upon the welfare of his fellow workers. He is local representative. Mr. Porter's Benefit Association, chairman of their Athletic and Amusement Association, a member of the Porters' Band of this district, and a committeeman of the New York Porters' and Maids' Greviante Committee. Being so closely connected with their economic and social activities gives him quite naturally, considerable influence and prestige among them. Under such favourable circumstances, the ought to be able to win one of the prizes. Furthermore, the appreciative of his service to them in this contest, as they are loyal to him when he is a candidate for some office in one of their organizations, we do not hesitate to predict that he will. In the last election held in this district, which was for the selection of members for our Greyance Committee, from a total of 903 porters he received the votes of 806, heading the list: of the five elected. That is quite an indication of the high esteem in which Porter Toten is held by his fellow workers. Without any intention to be over-complimentary, we believe in a young man. He is the possessor of a forceful personality and has a mind of keen intelligence, which he uses prudently in behalf of those who are not so fortunately blessed. Our second and other reason for being, gratified at his entrance as a constituent, is that we have, thus a representative of our group in the field for subscriptions. This is, in our opinion, as it should be extremely generous in granting space in their paper to the activities of Pullman porters. This generosity has been the means of the Pullman porters acquainting the public with many of their ideas, aims and doings, and we firmly believe that through this publicly our occupation is seen in a somewhat different way than in the matter of fact we know that it has been helpful, from the correspondence and expressions which we have received from many substantial people who have become interested in our group through this medium. We do not mean by this, of course, that the Arg is the only paper which gives space to pullman porters. We are not unfair as well as untruthful towards the other papers. Most of the newspapers of our Race, as well as other journals, are liberal to us in their news columns. Nevertheless we have not noted any, so far, that have given as much of their space as has this paper. And it would be win for us to remember that pullman porters are extremely valuable. This is an appropriate occasion for the porters to show their appreciation of both Mr. Totten and the "Age" A-PROFITABLE A AN INDEPENDENT MODE OF LIVING Become a land owner at I LANDS, near the great City of of New Jersey," 55 minutes from Line of The Pennsylvania Rail passing daily to and from New points South.

OWN HOME—PAY FOR IT AND ward in Allocation of Salaries, 1924-25 Washington, U.S.—Howard University instructs members of the Executive Committee, related in a series of resolutions adopted December 10, recently publish, reflecting upon, the administrative officer, and deplored the attempt of certain groups to express the attitude of the university with reference to the federalization of the university as proposed in the Cramton Bill now pending before Congress, thus forestalling the action of the board of trustees. The Trustees' statement reads as follows: Whereas, certain anonymous statements having appeared in the public offices affecting on the administrative officers of the University, the executive committee of the trustees, at its regular monthly meeting, held December 10th, 1924, authorizes, the issuance of the following statement: 1. It is not true, as published, that of the $15,100 added to University salaries for the year 1924-25, bulk of it went to the clerical staff of the University. On the contrary, more than eighty per cent allocated directly for teachers' salaries. It is fair to add that the Board of Trustees, in five years, has increased academic teachers' salaries so as to bring the salaries of Deans up to $3,100; Professors up to $2,500; Associate Professors up to $1,800; Professors' salaries, in the pastive years, been increased as 15 per cent, 128 per cent, 113 per cent, 108 per cent, others 90 per cent, and practically all of the remainder by as much as 33-1-3 per cent to 50 per cent and 60 per cent. 2. It is not true that "administrative officers are partial in the distribution of funds which come into their hand." As a matter of fact, as a result of the Treaty of Tartar, a budget committee, which spent four laborious days last summer in a careful study of university finances taking into full reaccount resources of all kinds—probable income, "university debts the cost of operating expenses, the cost of his budget committee composed of Dr. R. Stanton, chairman; Justice Stanton J. Peele, Dr. M. O. Dumas, Dr M. F. Wheatland, and Charles I. Corby, considered the claims of each and every person in the emply of the university, and the university's welfare from every person, therefore no true say that the administrative officer of the university have opportunity for being partial in the distribution of the funds of the university as they relate to salaries, unless the additional statement is made that this distribution always follows the action of trustees, and that the administrative officer of trustees. The board itself, unanimously approved the recommendations of the budget committee in the matter of the $15,100 added to salaries for 1924-25, at a special meeting held October 13th, 1924 APARTMENTS FOR RENT 8 and 9 rooms, all private, in modern elevator apartment house.

This has access to the safe in which Wilkins kept his money. So, on Friday November 28, when Wilkins sees a man that he had put aside, $100 bills on the state and that five of them wrote to him, he spoke to Sampon but not on no way implied that Sampon has knowledge of the money. In the evening of Tuesday in which was Sampon's 50th birthday, Williams called in the detritives and took them over to the naval club, 65 West 129th street, Sampon, in his evening how he was secretary and treasurer Mr. Trimmer and Johnny Carey, properly that resort. Entering the club with the officers, Williams approved Sampon and said, "Jim- think you took my money," and detectives to make the Held in $1,000 Ball Seven months after innocence and con- fidence in the outcome, Sampson made a protest to the high-handed pro- ceeding even though the officers were without legal warrant for their acco- rder. He was taken to the West 135th police station, and later to the Hog- wolf Court where he was held in Jail. The bond was arranged on the following day and Sampson was released from custody after twelve hours' incarceration, where he declares, that he had under arrest during the entire life. immediately retained Rus- ter of the law firm of Che- tering 120 West 42nd street interests.

In Januari, 1915, when I was the cashier of Robinson & Co., members of the New York Stock Exchange, I employed James Sampron as messenger and mall clerk. He had previously been employed by the Broad and Market National Bank of Newark, N. J., and was highly recommended. During the two and one-half years he worked under my direction, I found him to be: thoroughly honest, trustworthy and reliable in every way. Yours very truly. S. B. FITZ-GERALD. Besides these letters, there were other letters from officials of the Broad and Market National Bank, and a strong personal letter from the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the 4th District, New York City, who has known Sampson intimately for more than fifteen years. Sampson's Life Story At the time of his service with the Newark bank, Mrl' Sampson was an active member, of St. Phillip's Protestant Episcopal Church, Newark, of which the, Rev Robert Davis Brown was rector, and served as a member of the Board of Vestry. He is a native of Newark, having been born in that city on December, 1874. He 'attended public schools there, but at 14 years of age, due to the death of a sister who was contributing to the family's support, he went to work as a delivery boy for both a butcher and a druggist. Before this, while still in school, he had sold papers and shined shoes in the morning and afternoons and on Saturdays and Sundays. Later, for four days, he drove for Dr. Wm. J. Andrews, and then for three years he delivered orders for Green's umbrella Store, handling umbrellas, trunks and traveling bags His health falling under the strain of this work, he left Newark and went to work on George H Strobell's farm at Denville N, J where he stayed for two years. With the return of health and strength as a result of this outdoor life, Sampson returned to Newark Through the friendly intercession of the young millionaire, Mr Stark, Sampson went to the Nairn Linoleum Plant at Kearney, leaving there to accept the bank position in Newark. Married At 28 In the meantime, at the age of 28, Mr. Sampson had married Miss Minnie E. Thompson of Chicago, whose parents had moved to Newark. Following his service with the bank, and three years with Robinson & Co. in New York, Mr. Sampson regained from the lower position to serve as private secretary for Jane Cowl, the noted actress, author and playwright, and in this position he toured the country with Miss Cowl, who was playing in "In Lilah Time". "Information Please,"—a comedy; "Crowded Hours"—a war play, and "Smilin' Through"—a play which had a spiritualistic theme In 1921, Sampion decided upon going into business for himself, having an automobile and operating same for hire. This was his briefest business experience, as the work proved to be too taxing. It was in the same year that Barron D. Wilkins asked Sampion to come into his employ, offering him the position of cashier in his pleasure resort, the Exclusive Cabaret Later, when Wilkins's half brother Charles W Harris, left the cabaret to go into the real estate and brokerage business. Sampion succeeded him as Wilking's secretary and business manager, retaining this position until the tragic death of his employer, and now serve Mr Wilkins in the same capacity. During 1921 and 1922, Sampson spent the summer months as secretary-treasurer of the Bacharach Giants baseball team, being the personal representative of the joint owners, Barron Wilkins and John W Connors, of the Royal Cabaret, West 155th street. The duties of this position carried him with the club through the Middle West, playing Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Columbus, Pittsburgh and scores of smaller cities, during white time he handled thousands of dollars belonging to the club owners with scriptuous honesty and fidelity. Williams Charge Unsupported. In making the charge of grand larceny against Sampson, "Dest" Williams had only his unsupported word that he had placed the six $100 bills in the safe together with the assertion that only he and Sampson knew the safe combination. Evidence, however, was brought out to show that at least two other individuals knew the combination—Charles W Harris and George P Moore, a handler of prize fighters, who was at one time a partner in the Exclusive Cabaret with Barron Wilkins. In addition it was asserted that Williams frequently left the safe unlocked so that in his absence his assistant could place there, in whatever money were received. And another alligation is that on six on eight different occasions, since Williams has been steward of the club, the club, the porter has reported finding the safe left carelessly open, one of these occasions being just a few ounces to the alleged larceny. day. In evidence of his willingness to assist William, Mr. Sammon exhibited a cancelled check for $300 drawn September 21, 1923, to the order of William the same being a personal loan to the latter for the purpose of purchasing a barber shop. Although the loan was made for a period of three weeks, endorsements on the check showed that it was not repaid until December 10, three months later. This check bears the endorsements of William, followed by those of Councellia Dyett and Tatterson of the law firm of Dyett, Hall and Latterson, 2004 Seventh avenue.

DEACON JOHNSON'S MUSICAL COLUMN How Long Do The Singers and Players of Greater New York Intend Blundering Along Without Objective? This same player when asked what price he charged for his job work, replied that it depended on the booker for whom he worked, and where the job was. When pressed for a fuller and further statement, he replied that he charged the union rate in first-class hotels and such places, and that rate is $12 an engagement of 5 hours work, with $3 an hour for overtime in the City of New York, but if out of town his rates were higher He continued to set up his claim of earning $75 per week by reciting one lone, single, solitary job that he and his huddle played and received over $30 for it. This engagement was given to them by a booker with whom he was friendly and he never narrates a prior work how much the job pays, when the friend in question telephones for his service. Now, dear reader, let your imagination room just as far you like, but consider the facts, and will admit it will take a lot of light to show this saxophone player cited above that he is using a time worn stock argument that is antique and untenable. In conclusion, I wish to call the reader's attention to the fact that it would be necessary to play six engagements per week at $12 each, and get additional $3 tip at least for this saxophone player to make $75 weekly. Mr. Saxophone Player never said a word about the union scale of $8 for a dance of five hours in many other places (halls and auditoriums) where most of the dance work is done. This saxophone player in question wants to create the impression that he does not work an engagement for less than $12. But the writer knows that he plays regularly with an orchestra in the dance halls of New York where the leader of that orchestra charges less than $12 per man per engagement than $1 per player or player how many weeks in $2.50 works or has worked six engagement? I venture to assure you that his book will show far below 26 week. Jobbing six days a week can be done yes, consistently too also but only by a system of of good business management ORGANIZATION and CAPITALIZATION In defence of the musicians who work for 58 per engagement let me say they are working at a union style getting and giving good's reuse working fairly. ing the people of Jerusalem to violence— Theatre, c140th street and Seventh work of the coaches were landed by prominent members of the faculty Athletic Committee.

Brooklyn Church Ousts Ex-Pastor From Parsonage Smashed Doors With Ax To Get Into Apartment and Move His Furniture Twenty months ago the church ousted Jemmott as pastor and selected the Rev. E. E. Farnum as his successor. But Jemmott refused to move from the comfortable quarters supplied by the church, an apartment above the auditorium in which worship is conducted. As the expasor has a wife and seven children, the church folks were slow to begin proceedings to oust him, but Jemmott stayed on so tenaciously that at last he was asked to give up the rooms. But nothing doing, he said. Tried To Oust Ex-Pastor. So, under the employer and employee act, the church dwelling going with the office of pastor, and not under the landlord and tenant act, the church went to court to get Jemmott notet. The case was to complicate that Magistrate Steers advised both factions to call a truce until an Assistant District Attorney could investigate the legal phases of the situation. But in the meantime, according to ex-Pastor Jemmott, a group of twelve had come to the mission and attempted to eject him and his family from the parish. Patrolmen were called who took the word either to the Court among whom were the present pastor, Counsellor, and the church attorney, Counsellor Thomas Higgins. The Magistrate again advised deferring the hearing, but the combatants were now wrought up and refused anything that savored of compromise. Smashed With Axe. Led by Counselor Higgins, they returned to the mission, where summary action was taken Higgins armed himself with an axe and mounted the stairs, followed by most of the board of managers of the mission, with Patrolmen Charles Brophy and Harry Lawn stood, guard Inside the apartment, Rev Jennett, who had hastily returned from court, had barricaded the doors. Reaching the outside leading to the apartment, Higgins begins crashing his axe against the wood. Cries of "Police! Police!" were heard coming from the inside, but they were answered by shrill cries from women on the outside, who said "You've been occupying that apartment rent free more'n a-year!" Even as the cry, was heard, the door gave to Higgins determined assault.

But finally, the inner-doors having been entered, the anti-Jemmott, faction began removing the ex-pastor's household belongings, the while Mr. Jemmott, his wife and the whole seven children, stood looking on--giving voice occasionally to an unbraided of those who were once their friends and supparters. Finally, with the last of their lars and penates their walk below, the Rev. Mr. Jemmott offered his arm to Mrs. Jemmott, and the whole wode majestically down the stairs, followed by the seven junior Jemmott, the ex-pastor looking exceedingly sleek and unfortunate and, with every appearance of material prosperity. It was explained by Pastor Farnum that putting Jennott and his family out entailed no hardship upon them, as Jennott had already established a new located just around the corner on State street. It was also explained that when Jennott was deposed from the pastorate twenty months ago, he was voted an extra month's salary and given two months free rent, that he might have time to get settled without hardship or deprivation. But Jennott would not get following the actual ejection. Rev. Jennott retained his sinile and self-possession, intimating that the matter is not ended by any means. When asked as to what action he contemplated taking, he declined to commit himself, but referred all inquiries to his lawyer.
