SKELETON KEY IN PARLOR DOOR LOCK IS A MYSTERY
Left Wife In Charge Of Cafe And Weat Home, Accompanied By Harry Shober, Who Later Returned To Cafe And Told Mrs. Johnson Her Husband Had Been Murdered
The unexplained death of Edward B. Johnson, 51, known from coast to coast among fraternal men, in club circles and the pugilistic field, is possibly the most incomprehensible tragedy that has ever occurred among the colored citizens of Greater New York.
M. Johnson, who was proprietor of the D. Boulevard Cafe, corner of Seventh and Third street, lived with his wife M. Blanche Johnson, to whom she was married 16 years ago, in Asbury Park, R. M. Bolden, the present mayor of First Emmanuel Church, 105th street.

been killed
When Mrs. Johnson reached home her cries attracted policemen and awoke the tenants. Dr. Broco of the Harlingen Hospital arrived and pronounced the man dead. Dr. Charles Norris, Chief Medical Examiner arrived for a preliminary investigation and the body was taken to the city morgue for an autopsy.
Valubles Were Intact
In Johnson's clothes, were found a 32nd degree masonic pli, set in diamonds; $31 in change; a diamond scarf pin, and two diamond rings. He was known as "Ed the Finisher" which was given him in Chicago 30 years ago when he was lightweight champion of the race. There are served theories as to the mysteries killing which offer a difficult problem to the police department. A suicide officer is practically impossible in every case, but the most difficult on the door by the stair man's side had not been found, and the officer had no lower hands on his throat near the wound.
An Italian Suspect
Another theory is the fact that Johnson was to have appeared in court on the morning of his death to testify against Louis Rida, an Italian who was out on $3,000 bail for threatening him with a pistol. Johnson had a fight with the Italian, who rented a place for business from him, and who had been ordered to move, but refused to do so. The Italian was thrown out by "Ed the Finisher" who also struck the Italian over the head with a chair when the man drew a pistol.

DANCEY AT HIS OLD TRICKS, FRAMING UP ALLEGED VICTIMS War Veteran Now In His Net On Charge of Stabbing Stool Pigeon's Pal
Charles Dancey the notorious stool pigeon, who has managed through his alleged intimate association with certain police elements, to escape personal punishment on serious criminal indictments, is evidently at his old tricks of framing up unsuspecting and innocent people and entangling them in the meshes of the law.
On Thursday, January 29, Charles Irwin Brooks, a tailor, and a veteran of the World War, residing at 201 West 143rd street, was pointed out by Dancey to "Detective Canavan and charged with being a man who, on December 15, last, had stabbed Joseph Washington; familiar known to Harlemites as "Specks," of 140th street and Seventh avenue Dancey demanded that the detective arrest Brooks, and this was done. Hastily, Dancey searched for "Specks," who has long been alleged to be one of Dancey's notorious stoner pigeon assistants, and had "Specks" make the charge against Brooks. Brooks served through the World War as a member of the Old 15th and bears a good record, according to officers of that regiment. He is under charge of the United States Veterans Bureau Rehabilitation Service, and has been constantly under supervision of that bureau.
The case was called for a hearing on Wednesday morning, February 4, in the Washington Heights Court, before Judge McQuade. Col Arthur Little of the 600th Infantry and Fred R. Moore, editor of The Age, appeared in court in the interest of Brooks. But after ten judge had heard the store of the complaint and defendant the case was dismissed. On the stand Judge McQuade asked "Speek" what he did for a living and he replied that he was a student at the College of the City in New York

Walter Bridge, 39,4 West, 135th street probably blinks Policeman Charles Reilley is one of the worst, instead of being one of "the finest" policemen in the world, because he arrested him on a charge of stealing a coat belonging to William Watkins, 2007 Daly avenue. Several days ago, while Watkins was washing up in the subway station at Lenox avenue and West 135th street, someone took his coat. Friday Watkins saw a coat that resembled the one he had lost being worn by Bridges and at one claimed the garment. Bridges stabbed Watkins charges, contending that the coat was his personal property and a fictitious fight occurred.
Officer Reilley of the 16th precinct Police Station-came upon the two, stopped the fight, and hailed the accused man into the 12th district court where Judge Vitale held Bridges in a $1000 ball pending trial in the Court of Special Sessions

Mr. Dorsey's father in law is prosecuting him on the grounds that he took the white glove out of her home state and married her without her parents consent.

Mr. Dorsey, handsome and civil, stood calmly before the judge listening to the protests of his father in law. He took in the declarations of his girl-wife that she would remain loyal and true to him against all odds. He was unmoved when the judge promised a thorough investigation in to their marriage.
Law Is With Father
William K. Geougham, the assistant district attorney, called attention of the Court to the law which provides that supervision of the girls' welfare remains with her parents. That, according to law, the bride is still a child and therefore remains under the supervision of her father. Mrs Dorsay will be taken care of at the Children's Society while a thorough investigation is being made the meantime her husband is being held temporarily in the Ragmond street prison.

Assemblyman Grenthal, Persistent Bachelor, Is Congratulated on "Marriage"
From the New York Evening World
Assemblyman Abie Grenthal of Harlem is receiving congratulations these days on something that has happened.
It is all right, he says, to congratulate him, but he thinks some of the congratulations, if his friends really mean it should take the form of a box of cigars or a case of mineral water or even a cocktail shaker. Grenthal is a bachelor and a paper containing an account of the Governor's reception listed among these present "Assemblyman and Mrs. Grenthal.
"What's the use?" says Grenthal "A man leads a perfect life and then they go and do a think like that to him, and says it's a mistake I'll say it's a mistake. Look at those letters from person kicking because I never invited them to the wedding."

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—H. N. gro farmers had taken the advice of Dr. Booker T. Washington and half followed the teachings of this conference about buying and developing farms, they could own more than half of the United States, declared Scott Bond, a wealthy farmer from Forrest City, Arkansas, in opening the thirty fourth annual Tuskegee Negro Farmers Conference here Wednesday morning, January 28, at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute.
the conference which was presided over by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the institute, was largely attended by farmers from every southern state and by agricultural experts, educators and social workers from the four sections of the country. While the weather in a large degree affected the attendance of Macon county and the adjacent counties, the national attendance exceeded that of last year which was considered a record breaker. Special parties travelling in special Pullman carriage from Arkansas, North Carolina and South Carolina. The other dates were also well represented.
Automobiles Replace Horses
It was significant to note that the "old pitching ground, which in years gone by, was crowded with horses, oven and the vehicles drawn by these animals, was today, the parking space" of more than 500 automobiles. Not a horse or car, but bunge or wagon was in sight. In their stead were automobiles ranging from "the Universal car," to Packard, and Cadillac. On the rear of these were license tags, of Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi, with Alabama and "the Universal car" leading in numbers.
Court Declares Scheme of Uplift Was Used To Persuade Negroes to Buy Stock That Was Not and Never Could Be Worth $5 GEORGE GORDON BATTLE AND ISAAC H. LEVY MADE ARGUMENT FOR GARVEY, MATTUCKS FOR GOVERNMENT
Federal Attorney States That Deportation Writ, Already Issued, Will Be Served Upon Garvey As Soon As Sentence Is Finished and He Will Be Sent From U.S.
Monday morning, February 2, was "Groundhog Day" but there was no sunshine around New York for that little animal. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and Provisional President of ACA is no "groundhog," but neither could he find sunshine anywheres around New York on Monday. Because on that day the United States Circuit-Court of Appeals handed down a ruling affirming the verdict affirming the verdict rendered nearly two years ago by a jury in the United States Courtr, finding Garvey guilty of using the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of stock in the Black Star Steamship Line on which he was sentenced in June, 1923, to serve five years in the Federal Penitentiary and to pay a fine of $1,000.
Dr. R R MOTON
The program was divided into sections a morning and an afternoon session. The morning session was featured by short addresses by the farmers themselves, outlining their problems, progress, and setbacks while the features of the afternoon session were the addresses by Dr H O Sargent federal agent for vocational education Washington, D.C. R C L Cammack, supervisor of agricultural education in Alabama, Dr Robert R Moton principal of the University in state and others.
Designated as Farmers Day of the two day conference, which was found.
The Trial in 1923.
Garvey was arranged before Judge Julian W Mack in the United States District Court on May 18, 1923, with Assistant U S Attorney-Maxwell Mat-tucks appearing for the government.
Three others, former officials of the Black Star Line, were also put on trial. They were George Elli Garcia, former secretary, George Tobas, former treasurer; and Orlando M Thompson, former vice-president. All of these men were finally acquitted, only Garvey being found guilty.
In the beginning of the trial Garvey was represented by Cornelius W. McDougall, who served last year under the Democrats as a Special Assistant Attorney General of the State of New York, and Veneral J. Wil-江iams, a former counsel for the U. N. I. A. The trial had not progressed far, however, before Mr. McDougall was fired by Garvey, who notified the court that he would act as his own counsel.
The trial lasted thirty-two days, from May 18 to June 18, and the convicted man was remanded to jail without bad to await sentence on June 21.
Former U N. I A. Officers Testify.
Many of the witnesses called by the government officials of the, U. N. I. and their testimony was usually to the same effect that Garvey reserved to himself alone the deciding power in all matters.
The prosecution hinged its case on the fact that stock in the Black Star Jones had been sold to people on a promise of large financial returns, none of which were possible life-fruit. Members of the District Attorney's staff testified to the effect that Garvey had been warned that criminal prosecution would follow failure to buy ships as promised the stock buyers and that it was believed Garvey had muttered the "poor, black people" out of more than $1,000,000. Captains of vessels which had been under charter to the Garvey organization testified that the President General exercise autocratic rule and that their salaries had not been paid.
The government closed its case on June 1, and Garvey introduced his defense on Monday June 4, asserting that a jealous clique, composed of stone thieves have out of 400,000 stockholders, had caused all the trouble that the U. N. I. and Black Star Jones to were spiritual movements that would help to solve a race problem. Witnesses called for the defense included officials from the house office here in New York, free Sierra Leone, West Africa, Chicago, and

Damien, West Indies.
Just before conclusion of the trial, Counsellor Armin Kohn was returned as attorney by the Black Star Lite head, but Mr. Garvey himself made the summing up address to the jury. The jury was out ten hours, from 12:30 to 10:30 p. m., and when its verdict was given, Attorney Armin Kohn immediately moved to set the verdict aside. When this was refused Attorney Kohn asked for delay in passing of sentence and for liberation of Garvey on $5000 bail.
Prosecutor Mattucks opposed the bail request, declaring that "Marcus Garvey is a nuance at this time if he ever was," alleging that money had been sent in purchase of guns, ammunition, etc. for the African Legion, the military branch of the U. N. J.A. which will stop at nothing to protect Marcus Garvey." The Judge denied the request ordered that Garvey be continued in a cell to himself, and set Thursday, June 21, for sentence.
In passing sentence, Judge Mack gave the maximum five years in prison, and a $1,000 fine, together with costs of the trial. A stay of four months was given in execution of sentence, pending an appeal. The request for bail was carried to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, but it was again denied Judge Henry Wade Rogers, in chambers, hearing the argument by Garvey's attorneys.
Demonstraton By Followers.
When Garvey was taken from the court room to the Tombs, more than three hundred followers were awaiting his passing, and their surge broke the cordon of federal marshals and city police, exhorting the prisoner. Theirs was a frenexed outburst, but to the enlightened Garvey, was apparently unmoved. He stalked along through the lines formed by the massed men and women, without responding to their outbursts or noticing their advances, until, as he was about to step into Ewre-covered van which was to bear him to the Tombs, he returned and raised his free hand in a military salute, as if to say, "Your Emperor, about to die, salutes you!"
Released On $15,000 Bail.
Garvey continued his efforts to secure freedom pending the hearing on an appeal from his conviction. He employed George Gordon Battle as counsel and finally on September 10 Federal Judge Manton granted his release on $15,000 cash bail, consent of Judge Mack and U.S. District Attorney Hayward having been obtained. It was the appeal which was decided on Monday by Judge Hough's ruling Assistant U.S. Attorney Maxwell Mattuck announced following the issuance of the ruling confirming Garvey's sentence that he would ask a mandate for immediate arrest of the U.N. I. leader. It was reported that Federal accusers were immediately put on duty to maintain a surveillance over Garvey, although, as a rule, the formal order of the court on which defendants losing appeals are required to surrender is not ordinarily returned until two weeks after the opinion is handed down
In this case however, it is pointed out that Garvey is an alien and that a wret of deportation has already been asked for to tape effect immediately upon conclusion of his sentence, and that there is now no inducement for Garvey, a nature of Jamaica and a British subject; to remain in this country.
Word as to the court decision was circulated in Harlem without delay, and many of his followers congregated around the U.N. Headquarters. So West 153th street and awaited his coming Garvey reached his office late in the afternoon but refused to make a statement saving. I have no statement to mage to the newspapers. I got just what I expected. I could not get justice because I am a block man working to uphill my people.
The Court's Opinion
The opinion confirming the conviction of Garvey was written by Judge Charles M. Hough and concurred in my two associates judges Learned Hood and Henry Wade Rogers Judge Hood carefully reviewed the facts covering the endorsement of Garvey, which charged him with selling stock in the Black Star Steamship company, incorporated under the laws of Delaware. Its purpose was the acquisition and management of vessels that would ultimately transfer to Africa many Negroes and materials to develop a country for the Negro race. Stock was issued at $5 a share and Garvey who was identified with other Negro associates promoting the advancement of the race took a prominent pair in the selling of these shares. Discussing this activity of the defendant judge Hough said.
The entire scheme of uplift was used to persuade Negroes for the most part to buy shares of stock in the Black Star Line when the defendant well knew notwithstanding floral representations to the contrary that the shares were not an driver could be worth $5, or any other such sum of money the Court remarked on Garvey's efforts to designe himself "Professional President of Africa" and "Header of the covered race of the World."
Conceining Garvey's Mission
Judge Hough discounted to some extent in his opinion the attempt by Garvey to project himself a she leader of a great movement for the advancement of the colored people. In his opinion, he said, "It may be true that Garvey fancied himself a Messie, if not a Messiah that he deemed himself a man with a message to deliver and believed that he needed ships for the deliverance of his people, but with this assumed it remains true that at his gospel conceived in part of exhortations to buy worthless stock, are compared by deceptions, false statements as to the worth thereof, he was guilty of a scheme or attitude to defraud when the jury found the necessary intent about his stock scheme no easier how up lifting philanthropy or at least to his larger outlook may have been.
"Strapped of its appeal to the am-
bitious emotions or race consciousness
of men of color, it was a simple and
familiar device of which the object as
of so many others was to assert
how it could best upload upon the pub-
lic its capital stock at the largest price
possible."
Neithet Moral or Legal
At bar there is no attempt to justify the selling scheme practiced and proven it was wholly without morality or legality.
Conversely, has made any tradudent scheme a commitment on the purpose of executing the same letter, etc.
be sent or received by post. The corollary is that in this case it was necessary for the prosecution to prove not only that there was a scheme to defraud this tip show that there was a communication sent through the mail within the jurisdiction of this court for the purpose of executing or attempting to execute the same.
"In such a prosecution as this, it is competent to show every part of the method of conducting the scheme, that is calculated to shed light on the intent and purpose of its deviser. Some schemes have a relation to the need of signup so that son that jury court or jurory can take notice thereof and so he general use of the mails may be established by showing that the success of the scheme depended on a wholesale utilization of the post. And in this case there was proven a widespread and wholesale use of the mail for the purpose o follicling ubercription to the worthless stock offered by Garvey to the public. The connection between his scheme and the use of postal facilities was manifest, and this circumstance was, proper for the consideration of the jury. Starting with this, there was abundant proof of the style of 'literature' used in falsely stuffing the Black Star Line stock.
"The nature' of the matter sent by mail is immaterial, it is the purpose inspiring the sending that brings the scheme-deviser under national law, not the language of his communication, judgement affirmed."
The appeal is behalf of Garvey was argued by George Gordon Battle, and Isaac H. Levy, while Federal Prosecutor Maxwell Mattucks, who had been associated, with the case from the beginning, appealed for the government.

ZULU PRINCE LOST JOB, ASKED POLICE FOR SLEEPING ROOM Moody Brought Him To U. S. To Study As Missionary
Pittsburgh, Fa - Romeo Christopher, a South African who is known in his native Zululand as Prince Orono de Okale, and who was brought to this country in 1888 by the Rev. Dwight L. Moody, evangelist, to be educated, was the voluntary guest last week of the officers at the Central Police Station.
Prince Orono walked into the station house and, after apologizing, asked to be permitted to sleep, there H was looked upon hardbound police an an or ordinary hobo, and so was held before magistrate, court and given sixty days in jail for vagrancy.
But he told a story which contained so much of interest that an investigation was made and, his story being verified, the tail sentence was remitted
Christopher, as he is generally known was persuaded by the great evangelist Moody to come to America to be educated as a missionary. Christopher, then in his early twenties, attended Tuskegee Institute, Wilberforce Claftin and Edward Waters Universities, in Alabama, Ohio, South Carolina and Florida, respectively, and after eight years of study returned to Zululand as a missionary preacher.
He returned to this country for a postgraduate course and in order to finance his studies obtained a job as cook and laborer in the steel mills. But this job did not last, and when work stepped the prince's money went. Lacking funds to pay for a room, he applied to the police, rather than beg, after having walked the streets all night.
Want Negro History Study Included In Public School Curriculum
Washington, D.C. Charles H Wiley, head of the Department of History of Howard University, was requested by the teachers of the District of Columbia in the 10th, 13th Divisions, to conduct a round table at the Annual Teacher Institute, January 30. The subject for presentation and discussion was "Negro History in the Public School Curriculum." The Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America through the Commission on Race Relations has requested the cooperation of Prof Wesley in the preparation and collection of facts from Negro history which may be presented to boards of education in northern cities. The purpose is to create a sentiment which will lead to a better text-book treatment of Negroes, particularly in America, and ultimately to a fuller appreciation of Negro contributions in the making of America.

As He Rode Through Harlem Streets In Gorgeous Panoply, Surrounded by His Staff at Head of Annual Parade of The U. N. I. A.
Washington, D.C.-The newest phase in the developments attaching to the recent marriage of Mrs. Annie Nelson, a colored woman, to Henry W Faison, a white man, son of a former member of Congress form North Carolina, and a World War veteran, it the statement made by Faison in asking the Supreme Court to award the marriage that his wife had induced him to drink large quantities of liquor prior to the ceremony, that he was temperingly insane as a result of these alleged librations and consequently maltible of realizing what he was dom on January 10, when the marriage ceremony was performed. In contradiction to this however, the statement attributed to the minister who officiated, in which is the declaration that the trade greed was questioned seriously as to wiething or not he knew what he was doing and that Faison rephied
"Yes. I have been keeping company with her for some time, and if she is good for enough for that, she is good enough to marry."
Additional light on this aspect of the situation is afforded by persons interested as to conditions in the section of North Carolina which Fason comes. It is asserted that white men freely consent and celebrate with colored women in that region, showing love for them by being absolutely tame and faithful, providing amply for their support and for the support and education of the children through the association. And an other fact is pointed out that the white men suffer no ostracism, socially or otherwise as a result of their colored status. Fason acknowledges to six in the association with the colored women. Iars up he claim that during the last she plummed him freely with interracial liquors. He alleges further that the week preceding the six many days died him to drink a quart of water every twenty-four hours. He pleads that when he regarded his sense on January 19 are found he had been married to the woman he left the house and not not beer since
Another version of this is that friends discovered what had happened and took him away to the house that he made strontium objection to living. These friends, to pay respect to the assertion of his responsibility to Faison to the Veteran Born His capital for observation, and it is expected have had him committed to an institution for treatment

Col. Hayward Resigns Post of U. S. Attorney
15th Infantry the. Negro regiment which won glory and fame on the World War, as the 309th A.E. F. With Col. Hayward leading it. The regiment, was cited and its colors decorated after 191 days of aerial-fighting, being the first of the Allied Troops to reach German Rhine Col. (Hayward was personally awarded the crook. Daguerre, the officer of the Legion of Honor, the Distinguished Service Medal and an aerial citation.
As United States Attorney, many important matters have been handled by Col. Haysward. On the civil side of the Federal Court, one of the cases that attracted widespread attention was the seizure and labelling of the shoemaker Henry L. Marshall on August 21, 1921. This was the first foreign vessel seized outside the three mile limit by the Federal authorities and its seizure threatened, for a time, international complications. The case was vigorously fought through the United States District and Supreme Courts, the government's action being finally sustained.
Names Erist Colored Assistant.
One of the first acts of Federal attorney Hayward was to appoint James C. Thomas and as an Assistant U. S. Attorney, the first time a colored man had been named an assistant to that office.
The Reisenweber padlock case was the first important proceeding of its kind to be brought under the Volstead act and finally resulted in the closing of the cabaret for one year.
Among non-promotion civil cases was the suit against the National City Bank for $2,000,000 for money which had been advanced during the war to the great coop-rative society of Russia. Before the money was paid to the society, the Bolshoi revolution took place and the bank refused to pay over the money. After much testimony had been taken here and abroad the bank settled in paym of the government $1,000,000 and the Russia society the balanced.
Some Important Trial
Among important trials by the criminal side or Hayward's staff was the Trenton Potteries case which resulted in the first anti Sherman act conviction here in thirty-three years
Other successful criminal prosecutions under the prohibition law were the convictions of the four La Montagne brothers, Society Bootleggers, Emmanuel Bossier, King of the Bootleggers, and eleven others, and the Lambert case in which the government reserved the ruling of Judge Knox, who held that the limiting or prescription liquor law unconstitutional
Among prosecution by Hayward's staff for crimes against the postal laws were the convictions of Gerald Chapman for his $1,000,000 mail robbers, and of the tortious Glass Casket defendants for using the mails to defraud
His partner in the new law firm is to be Major John Holley Clark, who served with him in France as an officer of the South A. E. P. and later was chief civil assistant to Mr Hayward in the Federal prosecutors office. It was announced that Emory R Buckne, of the law firm of Root, Clark, Kuckner & Howland, M Nassau street, is to be named by Attorney General Stone as Col Hayward's successor.

PROVOKING DISORDER IN HAITI According to the latest information received from Port au Prince, it would appear that the present Haitian government which is held in power by the forces of the American occupation, is seeking to provoke some form of popular uprising, so as to prevent the withdrawal of the United States marines and machine guns. The authority for this statement is the New York correspondent for the Courier Haitien, which is known as the organ of national defense. He writes to the editor of The Age that he has been requested by the Patriots Union of Haiti to inform us of the following facts.
PROVOKING DISORDER IN HAITI According to the latest information received from Port au Prince, it would appear that the present Haitian government which is held in power by the forces of the American occupation, is seeking to provoke some form of popular uprising, so as to prevent the withdrawal of the United States marines and machine guns. The authority for this statement is the New York correspondent for the Courier Haitien, which is known as the organ of national defense. He writes to the editor of The Age that he has been requested by the Patriotic Union of Haiti to inform us of the following facts:
Mr. Brennan, the figurehead President appointed by Mr. Russell, realizing by President Coolidge's attitude towards a new Caribbean policy that the occupation of the Island will soon be wieldrawn, doing his utmost to have some kind of disturbance in the country, so that the Washington Government may deem its necessary to maintain the occupation there indefinitely.
That is the third reason the parade organized three weeks ago by people in all walks of life, to protest against the illegal detention of Jolibois. Elis who was ordered to be released by the Supreme Court, was so brutally attacked by the gendarmine, resulting in a scor of casualties. That was the third time that the court had declared unconstitutional the law on the press taken by Messrs. Biono Russell, for the supposed violation of which Mr. Jolibois was unpressed.
Two week ago under the presence that a plot was being encountered to attempt his life, he (Mr. Borno) had Mr. Pouget, ex Senator, ex-Ambassador to France, Messrs A. Charmant, O. Dupless, Pierre-Paul and two others arrested. But since he could not furnish any proof to substantiate his accusation, the Court declared it groundless and dismissed the case for lack of evidence. In spite of that, the prisoners were not released, as in the case of Mr. Johns.
Only Mr. Russell's to be blamed for this state of affairs, since Mr. Borneo has no authority whatsoever. He is merely a tool in the hands of the former. We do hope, however, that President Golledge in whose justice and in what we believe, will take immediate steps to put an end to lawlessness and anarchy existing in the island.
The Mr. Russell referred to in the above letter is the Financial Adviser of the Haitian Government appointed by the United States, and having at his back all the forces of the American Occupation, including the marines, machine guns, and any war vessels that may be in the harbor or within the reach of wireless. He has supreme power over the internal affairs of Haiti, naming the President and cabinet and overruling the courts. He is only superior in Haitian matters is the group of American capitalists, in whose behalf he rules to the end that they may obliterate the natural resources of the country and demean the Haitian people.
The withdrawal of the American forces just now might be too soon to suit the purposes of the interests that are concerned in the exorbitant war in Haiti. It would probably be followed by a popular uprising for the purpose of displacing from office President Borno and those of his followers who have furthered the plans of the American exploiters. Their predicament is indeed pettyable. They were only able to retain their offices by complying with the rigorous demands of the American occupation, which course he tendered from unacceptable as a government to the courts of their fellow countrymen. The only salient is to prolong the period of the occupation at any cost, whether the price be paid in added debts and taxes or further slaughter and torture.
What occurred in the Haitian situation is the true value of the free and offensives of the American people. They have rendered themselves able to take the hold of the Haitian people. Let measure be taken on the holding of a popular election, and let measure be taken on the holding of a Haitian law for the choice of a national assembly and government. Appoint as minister to the United States a colored man who is familiar with the history and tradition of the he is to deal with and blast structures with their aspera.
With such historical and guidance as could be rendered by the right kind of minister the Haitian people would be able to reestablish a certain entire government that would ensure a certain testing at home and common despot of power. In this way the obligate of the people would be able to resist and defend both he and his people. The scale of the intervention is the need of its liberty.

ASKING FOR SEGREGATION Segregation along radial of color line matter that presents various phases.
cordingly as to whether it is self-imposed or a state enforced through outside pressure. As an evidence of this condition, colored churches and other organizations are accepted as reasonable and expedient whereas colored schools or other public institutions are found to be inadvisable and contrary to the best interests of society. In social matters separation of the races is accepted as advisable in the present state of public opinion, whereas in public and civic movements, it only works harm.
The latest occasion for the exercise of calm and cool judgment in the matter of inviting further segregation is in the demand for an entire personnel of colored officers for the Fifteenth Regiment. This unit of the New York National Guard was formed to afford the Negro race an opportunity to acquire military training and to form a part of the national defence. In order to achieve this end it became necessary to start the organization with a mixed personnel of officers, while the ranks were recruited solely from the colored men of Harlem.
Under these conditions the regiment was duly formed and accepted as a volunteer unit for service in the World War. How well both men and officers acquitted themselves in the training camps and on the battlefields of France has become a part of war history. Throughout its career the regiment has profited largely through the leadership of its first commander, Colonel William Hayward and its present head, Colonel Arthur Little. The advantage of having as its head men of such wide experience and sterling character as these two tried leaders, cannot be overestimated.
While the proposition to replace the present colonel and the other white officers of the regiment with colored officers is soothing and gratifying to the sentiment of race pride, it is well to weigh carefully the consequences that may result from such a species of self-imposed segregation. It is very well to point to the Illinois regiment with its complete staff of colored officers and privates. But it should be borne in mind that the lines of involuntary segregation are enforced more rigidly in the Western city than in New York.
Instead of making the Fifteenth Regiment an absolutely colored regiment, it might be well to consider the feasibility of sharing its benefits with recruits of other races. At this period in its history it seems expedient that the present staff of officers should be maintained so long as they can render useful and acceptable service. Especially is this true of Colonel Arthur Little, who has given so largely of his time and means and strength to the upbuilding of the regiment and the securing of the advantages that it now enjoys. The cooperation of both races in this task of building up the regiment has so far worked most successfully. Prudence would dictate that it continue until a change becomes necessary.
The present status of the regiment is an object lesson of what can be done by the wholehearted cooperation of both races. To disturb this status by insisting on the experiment of racial segregation would be a doubtful experiment. Mixing in public matters has proved beneficial to both races in this part of the country. Segregation, whether voluntary or enforced, when applied to public institutions, usually means inferior or inadequate facilities for the racial organization. A continuance of the present staff of the Fifteenth Regiment, with advancement of the colored officers toward the top will in the course of time bring about the natural result of a "colored Colonel," which some of our group so greatly desire. The clamor for "colored officers for a colored regiment" seems to us ill-advised.
REFORM AT HALF-COCK
A recent news article in The Age, describing the interior appearance and impressions of a new club opened in Harlem, led to the charge that "Sometimes reformers go off half cocked" as a refutation of the characterization of the resort as "A Monte Carlo in Harlem." Whether this retort was justified by the article in question is open to debate. The reporter who wrote up the new resort did not enter upon his task in the spirit of the present day reformer, nor was he the agent of any reform movement or moral crusade. He was simply an observer of mapmakers and customs, which he described as he saw them to the end that the readers of The Age should be kept informed of what is going on in Harlem.
It is recognized by all those who have to deal with popular movements that cabaret and club entertainments are not conducted on the model of the oldtime Sunday school concert. Today the performers before such audiences as gather at these resorts not only call a spade a spade, but shout the name in the highest key possible, with innumerable thrills and reiterations. The period is not one of retentance or reserve. It is, on the contrary, the fashion to expose to public view and communicate many things that were veiled, or at least partially draped, a few years ago. This applies not only to speech and song to action and attention.
The standpoint of criticism and the line of censorship are therefore somewhat different from what they used to be. This is illustrated by the action of the courts in e-
gard to a play presented over a year ago, by a foreign actor, in which the commercializing of vice was portrayed, together with the retribution that was visited upon the trader in women's virtue. In the lower court the play was adjudged immoral air; the producers and actors convicted of an offense against the law. A higher court reversed this verdict upon the technical ground that a copy of the play was not submitted to the jury as evidence. And yet, a year later, we find a play of like character, in that it portrays the actions and conversation of prostitutes, produced by one of the leading managers of the country, being presented without interference by the law and, but mild rebuke by the critics. At the same time it lacks the moral motive that characterized the first production.
This shifting of the bounds of morality and decorum makes it hard to determine the character of an entertainment by the language used or the virtues or vices attributed to the actors. But there is a certain line between decency and indecency, on the stage or off the stage, that cannot be ignored without leaving a bad taste in the mouth, of both those who speak and those who merely listen. The exploitation of smut for the sake of smuttiness is too palpable to be mistaken for art. Lubricity is lubricity whether disguised in the beautiful prose of certain modern authors or voiced in the hoarse accents of a club or cabaret singer.
It is not to be expected that the jaded audiences that frequent these night clubs and cabaret entertainments, would be diverted or even faintly amused by the amateur acts that crowd the Sunday school or arouse the Christian Endeavorers to a high pitch of enthusiasm. Yet there is room for cleverness without vulgarity in the type of diversion that appeals to them. The line of decency can be preserved without deteriorating from the genuine merit of the entertainment
As to the gambling side of the proposition, those familiar with the night life of Harlem tell tall stories of the big losses made by certain professional men who buck the goddess of Chance as a relief from the tedium of of their duties. These losses are stated to run at times into hundreds and even thousands of dollars. Any resort that encourages this sort of game is evidently out for blood. This is no gambling for diversion within reasonable limits, but the game that is backed by professionals. Those amateurs who enter into this kind of game are food for sharks.
While admitting the soft impeachment, that "sometimes reformers go off halt cocked," we think that the present tendencies in pleasure resorts demand a full discharge of all the ammunition in the reformers' memory.
PUPILS IN HIGH SCHOOLS
A news-dispatch under the date line of Washington, D.C. gave some significant figures as to the proportion of Negro pupils in the United States, who go so far in their educational career as to enter a high school and start to acquire an education beyond that afforded in the lower grades. It showed that according to statistics gathered by Dr. Frank M. Phillips of the Federal bureau of education there were last December only 35,731 colored students in the many high schools of the country. Even this number showed a gain of 8,100 over the year of 1920. The total number of pupils enrolled in the high schools throughout the United States in 1922 was 2,229,442. The records showed approximately one Negro napil in high school for every 350 of Negro population and one white pupil in high school for every forty-five of white population. The inadequacy of this proportion is apparent in view of the fact that at least one-tenth of the population of the country is colored.
The causes for this disproportionate number of colored pupils who are receiving the benefits of a high school are not fat to seek. The greater part of the Negro population is still located in the South where the facilities for even their primary education are wholly inadequate. It is only recently that such States as North Carolina have awakened to the fact that education is as necessary for the black child as for the white. In such cities as Atlanta and Saxamouth in Georgia we hear a reiterated demand for high school accommodation for colored youth. The same thing is true of Houston, Texas, and other cities of the South. Perhaps the only city where the high school students are equal to the needs of the race is Washington D. C.
In such Northern cities as New York the high schools it is true are open to the aspiring youth of all race, but the numbers of colored youth who as of themselves the open doors, are discouragingly small. Economic conditions are often pleaded as the cause for so small a number of boys and girls who are graduated from the grammar schools failing to pursue a high school course. Lack of incentive from those at home and the prospect of earning a small wage as messenger to porter often tempt those youth to drop their studies. The ambitious among them are at times discouraged in their efforts to climb further, it is claimed, by some of their teachers. The mid-year graduation is great at the of the Harlem public schools which have

a large proportion of colored pupils showed a great improvement in this respect. Out of the 104 girls who made up the graduating class of Public School No. 119, two of the honor graduates had passed the entrance examination for the high school department of Hunter College, and all of them expected to take up high school work.

In noting the approval by the school board of the name of "J Milton Turner" for the new school for defective colored children, now approaching completion, the St. Louis Argus said.
In selecting this name, the committee took into consideration many suggestions, but the name of Turner seemed to be the most outstanding from an educational point of view.
J. Milton Turner was a pioneer educator of colored youth of the state. He was one of the founders of the present Lincoln University, now located at Jefferson City, and also one of the first contributors to this institution. He was a statesman and diplomat of international fame, and possessed unusual zeal for his race.
Mr Turner served with distinction as minister to Liberia under President Grant and in later years successfully prosecuted the claims of the freedmen of the Cherokee nation to their share of the funds derived from the sale of the "Cherokee Strip." He died in 1910.
A Washington political correspondent charges that the Democrats in Congress "are using unusual tactics and are putting the Republicans on their metal, if not on the defense." Probably putting them on a red hot plate, so to speak.
The conductor of a column entitled "Sidelights," in the *Trinity American Presbyterian of Charlotte*, N.C., asked his readers, "Did you ever hear of we cream preaching?" He explained the query as follows:
A person on another path referred to a Presbyterian church in that way. But the good Presbyterian was equal to the occasion and his remark but the mark "Why do you not go to my church sometimes?" was the question asked of another person of another church "Well the reason I don't go is not because I don't like you but your preaching is like the occasion at cold." The Presbyterian replied "that well that may be true, but one and change your diet. There is not cast some substance in ice cream but there is none in sawdust." It made me feel proud of at least the wet of our own human "Ice cream preaching might present some attractions for the summer, as an announcement, but it wouldn't cut much ice at this time of the year. Now is the time for red hot resumption with a little hell fire and burns we added."
Receiving a visit to one of the great Ford automobile plants in Detroit, Iugene Marshall, writing in the *Kraft Messenger* of Chicago recorded an impress to learn that over 7,000 men were employed in the brakes at Delray, where tractors are made. He said
Since the advent of the automobile, a great change has taken place in our industrial life. Instead of just wives being committed to make a work we find members of our working side by side with white men and female tractors and girls, we have the colored men of our aspire to appreciate a higher level of skill to learn how to cook and to most beet and mashed potatoes are now interested in engines, units of batteries, and a thousand and one other things connected with the manufacture and sale of automobiles.

He discussed the wattward course of world empires from the days of Babylon. He said there was no danger of any invasion, but the state of us, guiding territory or power sufficient to dominate both hemispheres. The supremacy of another world power will never be centered in any American, European or Asiatic metropolis; because there exists now an impassable barrier, God's word. The fourth and last imperial government was ancient Rome. The Scriptures teach that Rome shall never have a successor. Once earthly monarchs were privileged to bring the world about them to their feet, but this will be repeated on age nor future age. Because thousands put forth to defend all nations in a solid unit again. It was the fond ambition of Roosevelt. The Kaiser and a long list of statesmen as far back a Napoleon vigorously attempted it; but, God has decreed that it shall not her and we need not expect it.
Rendall Mem. Pres. Church
The Rev. Joseph Holden gave an excellent, practical discourse on "God as a Refuge" at the 11 a.m. service last Sunday morning.
The pastor spoke at night on "A Great and Faint Heart"
The Sunday revival, during the month of February, will begin next Sunday morning at 10 45 a.m. Dr. T. A. P Morton and the Rev. J. E. Harper will assist the pastor in this evangelistic effort. Some of the ministers of other denominations will take part in the two afternoon services. The Rev. Mr. Harper will conduct the first esvice. The program for the month will consist of short, strong spiritual sermons reinforced by inspiring Gospel songs.
The public is cordially invited to attend these services morning and evening.
Union Baptist Church
The morning service at the Union Baptist Church, Sunday, February 1, 1925 was a great occasion. The choir under the direction of Prof. W. Arthur Calhoun, was out in full. The licentiate, Rev. Redrick, took charge of the preliminaries, owing to the illness of the pastor, Dr. G. H. Sims, who has been sick for the past two weeks.
After several renditions by the choir and congregation, Dr. Samuel L. Johnson of Boydton, Va., was presented. He preached the first of a series of sermons which he is to preach during the coming week. He was at his best on "Eternal Life."
At 2 p. m. Sunday school, with W H Johnson in charge, was attended by a large audience. He was taught with keen interest. A symposium of the lesson was given by Sput. Johnson
The B Y. P. U. of which Miss Lotte Kendrick is president, was highly entertained by the "Juniors."
At 8 p. m. Dr Johnson delivered another soul-stirring sermon on the subject, "Christ at the Door." Seven persons joined. Dr Johnson will be with us for ten evenings.
Salem M. E. Church
Dr. Cullen, the pastor, preached two telling communion sermons one in the morning and the other at evening last Sunday. An eager congregation presented itself twice during the day receiving spiritual admonition from its pastor and leader. The holy sacrament was administered to over six hundred communicants. The Lyceum period was devoted to the annual candlemass service J. H Phillips, an assistant pastor, spoke very fittingly on the subject of light. The cross bearer and choir made an impressive procession to the church here, as well as at the other services, a large number was present, taking an active part in the ceremony. The Junior League choir presented a very interesting musical and literary program at 6 o'clock. The members also took a leading part in the topic discussion.
The previous week noted the passing of three of the salem's members. Two of the funerals were Bolemzened Sunday morning after services, one that of Melvine Blake, a young man, member of the Sunday school, the other Mrs Jeffries. The funeral of Charles Johnson, late of 1330 West 1330rd street, he held on Wednesday evening. Among the sick of the church are Anne Willie Bostom, Womens Hospital and Charles Pickens, 292 West 133rd street.
Rush Memorial Church
Sunday was another grand day in Rush, At 11 o'clock, Dr. Olivier prescheduled a powerful and instructive sermon on "The Prophetic Report of Christ's Sufferings in Glory Isaiah 53.11 Three important points were brought out in this sermon, viz. (1) Report not believed, (2) prophetic cause of the unbelief attached to this report, (3) comfort in the midst of all unbeliefs Isaiah, the evangelistic prophet of the New Testament, had vision of Christ's coming. His teachings and performing of miracles here on earth, and of His sufferings on the Cross. Even though Isaiah made this prophetic report, he found there was a discord among his hearers, and that discord was the voice of the unbelievers. It was then, it is now. Trinity could hardly get acting. In this prophetic report we get a vision of the plan of salvation, the mystery of redemption. We also see the Christ rejected and by the Christ exalted—justifying many and his knowledge and making passions for our transgressions. The cause of so much unbelief is love which men and women have for the ways of the world. Scientists have attempted to reason that it is impossible for man to take on Christ's image. The great crime wave sleeping over this great city and others is due to men turning a dear ear to those who trace to teach of God.
But, notwithstanding the number of unbeliefs, there is comfort to he had in the salvation of character, the image of our soul. One of the best ways to prepare ourselves for this comfort; to help others up the hill, thereby helping ourselves. As is customary, on the first Sunday
Where To Go To Church
Where To Go To Church
in the month at 9 p. m., the regular Holy Communion services were held. In connection, with this, thirty children were read, in full connection in the church, several of whom were baptized by Dr. Oliver. These children and a group of grown pups were recent converts of the revival services which closed last month. Rev. J. D. Virgil, one of our migrants reading in, Asbury Park, preached a beautiful and appropriate sermon on "The Gift of The Holy Ghost."
At 8 p. m., the Rev, Father Jackson delivered an excellent sermon on "The Love of God manifested in the 'Gift of His Son, Jesus Christ.'" John 3:16. Although quite old in the ministry, Rev. Jackson held his hearer's attention while he, in a masterly and scholarly manner, preached. On e Sunday a. m., Bishop E. D. W. Jones, in reach, 'The public is cordially invited.'
Friday afternoons at 5 o'clock-a Childrens Hour will be open in the chapel. Parents and guardians are urged to send their children to this meeting.
St. Mark's M. E. Church
The morning and evening services of St. Mark's M. E. Church were attended by good sized congregations. The pastor, Dr. John W. Robinson, preached an alle sermon at the morning service, Text, St. Lake, 23rd Chapter and 43rd verse. Theine: "Jesus saves the utmost." Preceding the sermon, Dr. Robinson installed newly elected officers of the Usher's Auxiliary with well chosen words of encouragement and admonition.
In the evening, Rev. R. A. Bolden the assistant pastor, was the speaker and delivered a masterly sermon, Texts Genesis, 23rd Chapter and 24th Life. Theine: "Jacob the Shepherd."
The fourth last week of the revival closed Sunday evening. Rev. Bolden as evangelist, preached very inspiring sermons during the series of revival services. Mrs. Madeline Lucas and Mrs. Milderd Bowers contributed very largely towards the success of the services by their excellent singing.
Sunday on January 25, Rev. Thomas P. Potter of the Council of Boards of Benevolence of the Methodist Episcopal Church was the pulpit guest and preached a very eloquent sermon at the morning service. Rev. Potter also addressed the Sunday School. The "Ninety and Nine" service which was held in the evening was largely attended. A timely inspiring sermon was delivered by the pastor.

First Emmanuel Church
At 11 o'clock service: Sunday, Pastor Bolden preached from the following text: "And he said unto them, How is it it yo sought me wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" St. Luke 2:49.
Pastor-Bolden said: "One of the outstanding object lessons for parents is seen in the life and activity of the 12-year old child, Jesus. Here we have a story of the parents and guardians of Jesus carrying Him with them to Jerusalem to the Feast of the Passover. And after the Feast of the Passover, Jesus made a day's journey on the return trip home before they noticed or realized that they bright and intelligent boy was not among them. He was such an interesting child end so fell licked by His kinsfolks and neighbors that they thought. He was in their company. But when the search was made, to their sorrow and disapointment, Jesus came to them with them. His Holy Mother Mary returned to Jerusalem, and after inquiry and diligent search she found whom she thought to be her lost child, after three days, in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them and asking them questions. And when they saw Him they were amazed and His mother said unto him, "Son, may hast thou heard of me?" Jesus then and her and have sought Thee sorrowing," and His reply to them is in the language of our text
What seemed to have been carelessness on the part of His parents was a condition due to the habit that they had previously established, that their very beautiful and intelligent child had been accepted by the home folks as a community child, hence we think that the friend of May we not think that the parents of May we should have a parental interest in their neighbors' children? May we not also be made to see that children have rights, privileges and duties to perform that parents and older people may not realize? Some children early understand that they have a mental and spiritual parent that lays upon their heart and mind thoughts and feelings, and that human parents have no right to interfere. This idea is clearly seen in the life of the Child Jesus, our Lord the Emmanuel. He was conscious of His relation and His business with His Father, God. He began early to obey His Will and transact His Business. The learned Sanhedrin had at his God and at the feet of a Master Mind that looked like a physical child. But He returned to Nazareth with His Holy Mother Mary, His parents and neighbors, and for 18 years led a quiet, industrious, single, obedient and faithful life. Giving His parents, His neighbors and community no trouble, but to all young people an example of a joyous and generous human life. He knew He was divine and remained (thus until His time came.
The Sunday school was opened at 2 p.m. A short talk was given the children, at the close of the lesson study by the pastor. At 4 p.m. the Literary Society compiled a book, Johnson having charge of the program. It was as follows: Selection, Mrs Quirk; talk, Mrs Anthony, selection, Miss Plummer, reading, Miss Bonner, reading, Mrs Elliott, reading, Mrs Vessels, pantomime, Miss Sherman, assisted by Mrs Sherman, talk, Mrs Harper, remarks by Rev. Richard M Jolden. Evening service was largely attended. Pastor Bolden continued his discourse of the morning. At the close of the sermon, after a selection had been rendered by the choir, Pastor Bolden had a candle light service, commemorating the day that Christ as a baby was taken into the Temple by the priest. The dinner was served during the day by the members of the C.E.M. Circle and $4 was given to the church.
Nazarene Cong. Church
Dr Henry H Proctor spoke at the morning time on "The Call to Golgal". It was consecration day in the church, and he made a moving appeal for the full dedication of the litre of officers and members to the service of Jehovah. He held that the Kingdom of God, whose seed was planted by Samuel, was established on the Day of Pentecost. Now that the Kingdom of God is up to that the Wall of God is done in our lives and in that of others. At the evening hour he spoke on The Conversation of Zachariah, illustrating his points by incidents of the Forensic Mission Convention recently held at Washington, to which he was a delegate. He was impressed with the fact that the new movement was one to give the whole of the Christ life to the heathen. He stressed the fact that we must have the gospel at home before we can successfully preach it aboard. While in Washington, Proctor was captured by President Coolidge in an audience, and he came away with a fine impression of our chief executive, who in many respects reminds us of Lincoln.

Siloam Presbyterian Church
At the morning hour of worship at Siloam, Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor preached to a large congregation, taking his text from Isaiah 28:23 and 26. The pastor beautifully and impressively portrayed the practical lessons learned through the ploughing in the life of the farm. Ploughing is made of God. It is the inspiration or aspiration within us that causes us to become the artist of painting, or of music, the cholar, to create the plough, the unidirectional tool of the tractor. Ploughing is of God, the plough is of man. All who were in any way responsible for the care and training of children were urged to take them to the places of art and the paths of inspiration that the inspiration of aspiration within the child might develop and not the ambition within us. Through discipline is the means to accomplish the end. Man may read any number of books but unless he assimilates what he has his reading counts for nothing. If man unidirectionally suffering or fortune, and just suffering oneself that as his portion, or has not the strength to resist, his suffering means nothing to him. It is only when our sufferings teach us patience that it counts.
The Sacrament of the Holy Communion was administered at the morning hour of worship

One of the most scholarly seminars from the theme "The Servant of God sleep in a storm," was heard Sunday day morning, delivered by the Rev W. C. Brown.

Newman Memorial Church
The attendance at Newman Church was very much improved on Sundays February 1, due to the agreeable change in the weather from the very cold spell to the week before. The pastor, Rev T. W. Cooper, preached an instructive sermon at 11 a.m. from the text "And they came over unto the other side-of the sea." Mark 8:1. His subject was "The Other Side." In his splendid sermon, the pastor called the attention of his congregation to the science of life opposite to that of the environment in which they lived and that food was calling for them to follow, the example of Jesus in that. He sought to better the condition of those in the lower starta of life by bringing them up to the standard to which He had come to bring all mankind. "He came to seek and to save that which was lost."
A large gathering greeted the girl perintendent, Mrs. J., W. Bratton and I o'clock for the Sunday school service. After an interesting study of the lesson for the day, the pastor preached a helpful sermon to the children and their parents, during which he encouraged and advised that thrift and economy be taught and practiced, but in addition to these care must he taken to prepare for the life in come by laying up treasures always by the doing of kindly deeds and living a life such as Jesus taught and lived. At 8 o'clock the monthly commission service was conducted by the pastor. A short discourse was delicately by local preachers, Rev. R. W. Payne, from the text, "This do in Remembrance of Me."

Lincoln Athletic Association Votes In Favor Of Playing Howard This Season
Excitement Of Close Game At Palace Garden Causes Lookerson To Battle
Commonwealth Five and Astoria K. of C. Team Hook Up In An Extra-Period Tie., at 40 All, And Tension Is Too Great For Partisan Spectators
The basketball fans who went to the Palace Garden to see the Commonwealth Bid Five in action against the Astoria Knights of Columbus on Sunday night, February 1, certainly got plenty of action for their money.
In addition to one of the best basketball games of the season, there was dancing and a fist fight, which, but for the cool-headedness and quick action of Captain "Hop" Hubbard of the Commonwealth team, would have developed into a free-for-all.
After having been outplayed in the first half, the Commonwealth team came back, and overcame an eight point lead in the first five minutes of the second period. In the excitement occasioned by the remarkable playing of the local team, two spectators got into an argument over a decision of Referee Hobey Johnson. One called the other an approbrious name and soon they were fighting. The gallery crowd surged forward to see the fight, then someone yelled that one of the men had a pistol and was going to shoot. Like stampeded cattle the crowd began to scoot for the exits and many were knocked down in the race. Captain Hubbard somehow managed to get by those who were rushing down the stairway and in a minute he was in the think of the fray. He soon had the men separated and got one out of the building while friends took the other out. In the meantime several of those who had been knocked down or whose hats had been trampled on attempted to get some satisfaction from offenders in this respect and it was several minutes before order could be restored.
Finally, the game proceeded and the Astoria team, much refreshed by their rest, was able to tie the score before the period ended. An agreement was reached to play five extra minutes in order to play off the tie. For a minute it looked as though the Commonwealth team was back in its stride as they took a four point lead almost immediately. The visitors, however, managed to stop the shooting at this point and just before the extra period was up dropped two field goals themselves, which left the game tied at 40-40.
Hubbard was the mainstay of the local team and was ably assisted by Grant, Monde, Noel and Sessoms.
In the preliminary contest the Majestic Five lost a close game to the L.I. Meara Five. The store was 23-22.

SANDY TAYLOR OF 369th INF. WINS OVER JACK TILYOU
Sandy Taylor of the 309th Infantry won a decisive victory over Jack Gibson of the 102nd Medical Regiment at the armory of that regiment on Thursday night, January 29. Taylor set a dizzy pace for his opponent and would have won without a bleed. He had not suffered a knockdown in the ninth round. Sandy ran into a straight right hand blow which right him on the jaw. He fell to the canvas but got up without wanting for the count. The puncher parried him but he soon peppered Tilson with such a volley of punches that it wasn't taken the defensive. Taylor exhibited a faultless style and had laden on the verge of a knockout on several occasions. In the last round a snapy right to Tilson's heart doubled him up and forced him to hold on for the remainder at the round. Both tighters weighed the pounds.
Edwin Riley, also of the 30th
Regiment, fought Harry Brooks in

TIGER FLOWERS STAGES COMEBACK BY DEFEATING TED MOORE OF ENGLAND
Newark, N. J. - Tiger Flowers-of-Atlanta, Ga., who was knocked out of the big money at Madison Square Garden; when Jack Delany flatted him in the second round of a scheduled ten-round bout, staged a comeback Monday night. February 2, by defeating Ted Moore of England in the star twelve round bout at the Newark Armory.
Moore had met all the perminent middleweights in this country from Harry Greb down, and had defeated most of them. So it was expected by most of the followers of the sport that he would be a tough customer for Flowers. This was not the case, for the Atlantaighte won easily and in many of the rounds he made a chopping block of the Britsher. The Tiger's lifting uppercuts and straight right hand punches, spiced with right jabs, cut his opponent badly about the face.
LINCOLN ATHLETIC COUNCIL DECIDES THAT GAME WITH HOWARD MUST BE PLAYED UNRD EXISTING CONRACT. UNDER C. I. A. A. CODE

(Special To The New York Age)
Lincoln University, Pa. - The annual meeting of the Athletic Council of Lincoln University was held here Monday, February 2 representatives of the faculty, alumni and undergraduates being present.
In addition to the routine business the question of the Lincoln-Howard game next Thanksgiving was considered. After a free discussion by all present, the Council voted to play the Thanggiving game with Howard. This decision was reached on the ground that Lincoln signed a two year contract with Howard, and that to repudiate this contract, would be contrary to the traditions of Lincoln University, which has

Rocky Mount Panthers Gored By Johnson C. Smith "Bulls"
Charlotte, N. C.—The whirling "Panthers" from Rocky Mount N.C. whirled onto Smith's campus on January 30, intent on taking the balls down a peg after their recent win over A and T, College of Greensboro, but whirled away the next day a well heaten, but undiscouraged set of floor artists. Cogdell a former Lutheran College star, scored four of his team's points and enlivened otherwise a lifeless game by seasonal exhibition of fancy dribble. The "Panthers" deserve creditable mention for true sportsmanship. They took their heartbreaking defeat in good spirit and fought well until the final whistle sounded. An impregnable hot man defense, accurate passing and careful chasing tell the tale for Smith. There was on individuals that the whole team worked as one mash and with one purpose. The score indicates their ability to take care of their own goal as well as to run up markers.

Moore always had strength to counter but has the rounds were reeled off. Ted's sports became more feeble and less sustained. 'The fifth and sixth were his beat rounds. He held Flowers even in the fifth and slowed him up in the sixth with body punches. The English fighter came out of his corner with a plaster on his nose in the sixth round. It remained there during the round, but it was bloodsaked at the end of the round; in seventh it was knocked off and Moore was unable to offer much defense after this round. He saved himself from being knocked out by covering up for the remainder of the fight. Flowers' victory means that he will continue as a drawing card of the first class. His next important fight is against Paul Berlenbach at Madison Square Garden on February 20.

Bobby Risden Defeats Fitzsimmons of Youkers; Willie Powell In Draw
Bobby Ristey, Harlem boxer, who scored a sensational knockout over George Dougherty two weeks ago, outpainted Billy Fitzsimmons of Yonkers' in the feature ten round bout at the Commonwealth Club on Saturday night, January 31. Bobby had the better of his opponent, especially at long range, but he never had a change to put over his powerful wallop on the cage Fitzsimmons. Both men weighted 125 pounds.
In an exciting slugfest of ten rounds, Willie Powell of Harlem heldves Horrelon of France to a draw. From one goong to another the two did nothing but bore into each other with both arms swinging like piston rods. Neither man would take a back step, and the decision of the judges declaring the bout a draw met with the general approval of the trans. Horrelon was fighting his first tight fight in this country and he had been led to believe that he would have an "easy mark" in Powell. He soon found that he had been deceased in this respect Both fighters are lightweights.
Football Team At DaytonaCookman Institute Makes Remarkable Record On Grid
Daytona, Fla.-The Daytona-Cookman College Institute, the newest arrival in the family of M. E. school, has closed a remarkable football season. The school was formerly a girls' summary, known as the Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute for Negro Girls. Last year it became co-educational by a merger with Cookman Institute, one of the oldest of the Negro M. E. schools, located at Jacksonville. Last year the enrollment of boys was only about sixty but in spite of that fact football, baseball and basketball teams were formed which made a creditable showing against some of the oldest and strongest teams in the State. This year, with an enrollment of 108 boys, a football team was developed which defeated every team in the State that it mit, and tied with the strong team from the Floridan A and M College at Tallahassee which had not been defeated or tied by a team in the State of Florida for ten years.
This record is a flattering commentary upon the spirit and stamina of the Florida boys, and upon the quality and strength of their leadership at this famous institution.

Roland Hayes Sings In New York City
With The Boston Symphony Orchestra
A Capella Singing Of Choir Directed By Wilson Lamb Is Feature Of Recital
New York admiers of Roland Haves, the great tenor, reached the ultimate in opportunity to pay tribute to the little Negro anger whose "One song . . . make of the world Kip," when he appealed at Carnegie, Hall on Tim 6, night, January 29, as solo with the Boston Symphony under the baton of Sers, Ivanitzky, the new Russian conductor.
The weeher man had not ever before suffered so many kinds and disagreeable and unpleasant weather, including sleet and chilling rain, but the teaches of Carnegie's contemptorium were filled to the utmost capacity for this treatise. It was the first time Roland Haves had sung in New York City, blase, cynical and odd critical metropolis, with the wood famous aggregation of instrumentists from the City of Means and Brown Bread, although he had been heard with several times, last season and this in the Hub Town. And the ovation which was given Haves was but a repitition at the reception he had won on several occasions when he appeared individually in recital. That he deserved the honors heaped upon him is attested by men who write of musical events for the metropolitan pre- Some of their comment is hereto

THE BOSTON SYMPHONY
CONCERT
By Lawrence Gilman In The N. Y.
Herald/Tribune
Evidently the Boston Symphony Orchestra is on easy street these days, now that Mr. Koussevitaky has demonstrated that he is what the managerial world so happily calls "a box-office riot." We are moved to this cheering conclusion by the fact that the Orchestra brought eight women singers all the way from Boston (regardless of the fortune it costs to travel between the capital of Massachusetts and the capital of the world), only that they might sing ten measures behind the scenes at the close of a number-on last night's program. And those ten measures, in which a chorus of four sopranos and four altos merely a sing "Halleluju" Halleluju] as an epilogue to the tenor air of the Narrator in "The Repose of the Holy Family" from Berlioz's "Unfiance du Christ," are optional-Berlioz says says in his score that in the absence of a chorus, the tenor may sing the ten bars of the first soprano
But the lordly Boston Symphony stooped to no such expedient. They magnificently chose to perform the work as Berliner obviously preferred that it should be done. 'And so, much to the surprise of last night's audience, who were unwary by the program, Berloz's "eight voices of unseen angels" floated out from behind the scenes after Mr. Hayes had finished his solo, and ended the excerpt as Berloz had so poetically conceived it—on an ethereal chord of A major for the distant chore. The effect was unchanting. The Narrator had just sung of the angels who were keeping vigil over the Halleluja as they rested and their "Halleluja" was an exquisite epilogue to the tale. Last night to be sure, the angels from Boston were not absolutely in tune on their final A major chord, but their pecaniness was hardly noticeable.
The excerpt from Berthoz's tripartite oratation is seldom heard in New York. It is, in the main, delectable music—a little insipid in places, as in the instrumental introduction, where the simplicity of the style is a but too obvious, sought. But there are delicious passages in it—music of a sweet, cool, draining loveliness, tenderly primitive, which must astonish those who know Berthoz only as the world unnamed Romantist of the "Lantastic" Symphony and "Harold in Italy."
Mr Hayes sang this music with his usual refinement of style and depth of feeling. He was particularly moving in his delivery of "L'enfant Jesus dormant" and "Les anges du ciel a genoux auourc duur." But on the whole he was not at his best last night. He sang his first number, Luzie, ameliorably sentimental setting of Petrich's 16th sonnet, "Pace non trovo" (with the orchestral accompaniment arranged by Buson) as disappointingly as we have heard him sing anything. Some of his high notes set a shiver through sensitive nerves, and he was not always on the pitch. But he was readily forgiven after he had come to the end of the Berlioz number, and the audience lavished applause upon him, so that for the tune an encore seemed imminent.
Mr Lamb's bathtub, rendered the number most thrilling. The hearer dynamic effects, and the working out of nuances that enthralled, influenced and delighted A splendid soprano section, vibrang and brilliant was able supported by alto, tenor and basso sections of splendid malaise. The character of Mr Lamb's work with his singers was clearly complained by the definiteities of his interpretation of this composition which has a totality in the manner of a sharp sigh and that seepth. There was no straying from the pitch.

New York Woman, Visiting Florida School, Pays Fine Tribute to Harry Burleigh
By John C. Wright
Daytona, Fla.—Perhaps nowhere in the country can a more distinguished and unique group of persons be found than those that gather each Sunday afternoon in the auditorium of the Daytona-Cookman College Institute, located at Daytona, Florida. The occasion for these gatherings is the community meetings which have been held every Sunday afternoon at this famous school for twenty years. They are in the truest sense of the word "Community Meetings," for people from all three of the Halifax cities crowd in during the month of January, February and March, to hear the incomparable singing of a chorus of one hundred young Negro students, and to hear the story of the upward strivings of Negro people from one of their most outstanding leaders. There are people present from literally all parts of the country. On Sunday afternoon, January 25, when the meeting was thrown open for expressions from the floor, Miss Brooks, of New York City, a member of St George P E Church, made the following remarks:
I am so interested to be bige I have a great deal in my heart to give as my reason for coming, or rather, speaking to you this afternoon. Last winter I came into close contact with Harry T Burleigh, your Negro singer of the St George P 1 Church of New York City. There are 90 people in the choir of that church and he is the only Negro in the whole choir. Beyond words it is wonderful what Mr Burleigh has done for this church in the music of his voice, but with his spirit he has given out. He has helped everyone with his loving spirit. Has nobility, his gentleness of mind and spirit have all caused the whole church to claim Mr Burleigh as their own. Defire I hit, I claimed him as my own.
Abbie Mitchell Wins Acclaim In Washington In Artist Course Series
Washington D. C—Mrs. Milton A. Francis and her associates are presenting a series of Artists Recitals' at the Lincoln Center affording the people on Washington D. C's opportunities to hear the musical art of the race who represent the highest art and best in natural and acquired development. For the recital on January 25, Mrs. Francis secured the services of Mrs. White Mitchell, dramatist and soprano of New York City, who has won favor not only in America, but has been acclaimed by music covers in all of the art and music centers of Great Britain and Europe. Mrs. Mitchell was accompanied by Dr. Melville Charlton on Brooklyn, N. Y., the first colored museum in the country to be admitted to an associate of the American Guild of Organists, and who had been honored by Howard University with the degree of Mus. D Dr. Chalestro's work was of the highest order and added much to the charm of Mrs. Mitchell's recital.

Perhaps the feature of the recital was the song of Schubert's "Erlösung in German with unusually good shading of tone. The first group included Handel's difficult Lacuna Chloe Banza Parecchi, Nymphs and Shepherds, and Durante's "Danza, Danza Brahms, Von Ewiger Liebe" was another German number. The area "Pleurer, Pleurer" from Mamaset's opera "Le Lad," was well done. A group on Russian songs included "Songs of Russia (Rachmannoff), My Native Land" (Orechamoff) and "Oxana Song" (Rimsky-Kazakh). London Ronald's Southern song was the encore. In the last group Mana Zucza's "Cry of Woman," "Irish Folk Song" (Foone), and Coleridge-Taylor's "Spring Had Come" were sung with good phrasing. Granville Bantock's "Swinging Through the Frees" was the encore.

DEACON JOHNSON'S MUSICAL COLUMN It is a waste of the present time to ask what the future musical combi nation will be.
The unlettered entertainers who could sing and play much Teebler than the so-called mediators of today, EXPELLING James Reese Europe, from the work which he so unselfishly founded, organized and so ably managed for three years, could not possibly have imagined our lives, even of today. And as they could not have imagined us as we are, we cannot imagine musical entertainment as it will be.
But we can look a little way into the future, a decade or two decades, perhaps. That isn't far when you realize that the work started by James Reese Europe, in 1910, began with an admission fee of $5 per head, and this writer has been informed by reliable parties recently, that it now costs the round sum of $250 per head to be a so-called member in the good work founded out of the fullness of a big man's big heart, only 15 years this Spring.
Looking ahead even a little way is quite encouraging and very stimulating for those whose business interests reach beyond today so-called big money makers and to-morrow's big bluffs to those who do not know the whole truth of our existing circumstances.
No amount of the old school of today will doubt the following brief outlines. As the unlettered singers and players disappeared, so noisy combinations and the exploitation by the cunning for today's ALL-THAT-U-CAN-GEL'F (as AS-LITTLE-F-AS-LAN-PUT-IN) will disappear.
Aimless, selfish collecting of a few date's work for all the money that you can possibly force out of the contract, as a life occupation, will not forever satisfy intelligent, capable workers.

formerly of this town, now living in Orange, N. J., made his appearance as a tenor soloist here for the first time on Thursday evening, January 22 at the Mary Potter School Auditorium, before a large and appreciative audience. It was a noteworthy incident that his accompanist, Prof. I. H. Buchanan, was Mr. Moss first teacher at the Mary Potter School. The young tenor sang a varied program with delightful effect, showing every evidence of the careful and painstaking training he has received in the studio of Wilson Lamb, Orange, N. J. His voice, lyric in quality, was warm and soulful, and the expressiveness of his singing reached his hearts. Oxford citizens gave honor to the town son upon his return and took great delight in honoring his attachment.
The program rendered by Mr. Mosso included "A May Morning" (Danael Onaway, awaken Beloved) (Colefidel Taylor), "Among the fuselas" (Burleigh), "A spray of roses" ((Sander son), "The Nerad" (Glazerroff), Negro Spirituals—Go down, Moses, "Bye and Bye," "Sinner please don't dis harves' pass" and "Don't you weep when I'm gone" (Burleigh), "I know a lovely garden" (Hardelot.) "I hear a thrush at eve" Cadman "For you alone" (Gleith).
Grenthal Rent Bill Gets Support of Rep. Co. Com.
Albany - Irew Kurtz representing the New York Republic Counts Committee and Municipal Court Judge Dawes Tuesday, February 3 urged enactment of the Grenthal Rent Bill, at the hearing before the Assembly Judiciary Committee.
The measure would permit a tenant to deposit his rent with the court instead of paying it to the landlord wherever violations exist on the premises until they are removed by repairs.
Stewart Browne, president of the United Real Estate Owners' Association, led the opposition.
He contended that if the grenthal measure became law a tenant could take a tile out of the bathroom and put the landlord to all sorts of trouble as well as hold up the rent.

Two Buildings At State Normal School, Durham, Destroyed By Flames
Durham, N.C.-The State Normal formally the National Training School Dr. Jamie E Shepherd, principal, was seriously handicapped by fires which, on successive nights, destroyed the mess hall and administration buildings. Wednesday night, January 28, about 8 o'clock, fire of an undiscovered origin destroyed the mess hall and on the following night, at about same hour, another unterstoryly originating fire destroyed the administration building, along with all office textures, furnishings, school records, and other papers belonging to Principal Shepherd. Temporary quarters will be provided, but the work will be seriously handicapped. The school was taken over by the State or North Carolina just a few months ago, and the State Legislature will probably enact the necessary legislation to make the institution a Class A college for training of teachers.

Storage cells, secondary cells as they are sometimes called, are fundamentally the same as the primary cells. They differ, however, in the respect that they can be fully recharged when they have been in a discharged or partially discharged condition. This is done by passing an outage current in the reverse direction for a certain length of time. As in the primary cell, the storage cell must of necessity have two electrodes, an anode and a cathode. These electrodes are called plates and have a grid-like construction each electrode in a storage cell consists of a plate or a group of plates which are connected in parallel.

ed by Dr. Booper T. Washington and which has for thirty-four years influenced the rural and urban life of Negroes, especially in the south, every activity of the day was centered around farming and farm life; farmers were cultivated; improved farm machinery was improved; and farm problems were discussed. In fact an agricultural atmosphere surrounded everything. The general topic of discussion was: "A Balanced Program for Farming and Farm Life." Various topics were discussed such as: "A Schedule of Crops," "The Importance of Seed Selection," "Better Fertilization of Crops," "Marketing of Crops," "Home Ownership," "Home Improvement," and "Recreation and Amusement for the Home and Community." The following "balanced program for farming" outlined and suggested: a schedule of crops for balanced farming, two-horse, general farm (about 56 acres suggested).
The results that are possible if the methods expounded in the conference were known in the exhibits and the institute for which they thrown open in the visitors
Poultry Show
To stress the importance of the industry of poultry raising, a poultry show was held in the assembly room of the administration building of the trade school. Some four hundred chickens of every breed, including all kinds of leghorns, Rhode Island Reds, and Wyandotte, were exhibited, owned by 100 farmers and poultry rasters. The fowl exhibited were splendid specimens and would perhaps place in any poultry show in any part of the country. The prizes were awarded to the heirs owned by Charles Wheat, Sara Simpson, John Wright, Mable Cameron, T. M Cowan, A. Watey, Marie Binder, M. Mill, W. Lute, C. Cordwell, A. Rute, L. Jordan, J. C. Dennis, Aurie Dowdell, C. J Calloway, Jas Clapper, R. S. Pompey and Noah Strong.
Health Exhibit
Another important feature of this phase of the conference was the health exhibit. Here registered nurses connected with the John A. Walker Health Center, the Arkansas health center, conducted physical examinations and gave instructions as to care of babies, children and adults and emphasized the basic principles of health care. Lessons were drawn home by talks, illustrations, pamphlets and plaques.
Movable School Demonstrated
Braving the winter blasts on the outside were the government agricultural extension agents, connected with the institute who carry on the movable stock of Alabama, surrounded by an equally courageous band of farmers. These workers giving practical instructions in building and repairing steep chicken frames and dwellings in terracing, in repairing farm implementations, and in other jobs that have direct bearing upon farming and farm
Morning Session

president, said to the people of the United States," said Scott Bond; "Airkissas" (further who was "the first speaker of the morning.
"He said that he wanted them to ecotoneize and to put honest effort into whatevore they-were doing." He declared that only in the exercise of these factors could the Negro reach real success.
Afternoon Session
The features of the, afternoon session were the addresses by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, Dr. H. O. Sargent, federal agent, vocational education, supervisor of agricultural education for the state of Alabama, and B. F. Hubert supervisor of agricultural department of the Tuskegee Institute. Speaking on the general topic of "the importance of farming and Farm Life," which was also discussed at the morning session, the speakers sought to impress the farmers of the necessity of diversifying their crops; raising food and feed stuff and to make their home life more attractive and comfortable. Dr. Moton, who was the first speaker of the afternoon, after welcoming the farmers and other visitors, presented the farmers to take home the lessons which they had leached from the demonstrations and the addresses of the day.
Dr. Moton Speaks
His address to the farmers emphasized among other things, the increasing competition in foreign production of cotton that threatens the supremacy of the south in the cotton markets of the world. Of the twenty-six million sales of cotton produced in the United States, ten million, or two-fifths of it is produced outside of the United States, as compared with only one-fifth two decades ago. Because of the prevailing high prices of cotton in the world markets foreign governments are exerting every effort to deprive the United States of their colonial possessions. Outside the United States, cotton is being grown today, i.e. Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, China, Korea, India, Asiae Russia, Egypt, East, West and South Africa. In all these countries, cotton production is on the inward side of the species, ultimately making foreign manufacturers independent of the American cotton market.
Decline In Production
"Respecting this situation the agricultural bureau of the chamber of commerce of the United States, says in a recent report on the world cotton situation: "while there is no immediate danger that the United States will lose its position of dominance in the world, the situation nevertheless, demands more aggressive efforts to stabilize production' and 'the steady decline in production in the United States, accompanied by the increase in price of the American staple, has been reflected in increasing activity on the part of foreign governments to develop potential cotton areas outside the United States." He further pointed out that the cost of production is constantly on the increase. In 1914, it took thirty-six million acres of land to raise sixteen million bales of cotton; while last year on practically the same average, only ten million bales were raised; only ten million bales were reflected in the cost of cotton woven from around eight cents a pound in 1911 to twenty cents a pound in 1921.
To Diversify Crops
Another point emphasized by Dr. Motton was the necessity of diversification in the crops of the south "One undesirable effect of depending on cotton alone," said the speaker "is to increase the hazard of farming due to climate and other natural factors, are likely the farmers' control. Thank you planters in the south can render a great service to Negro farmers by helping them to finance corn, wheat, poultry and dairy production in the same way that cotton has been financed. With a variety of crops on hand, a farmer will more evenly distribute the same time be helping the south to feed herself. For the average tenant, farming is a rather uncommon venture. This fact makes for discontentment and this discontentment makes it easy to respond to the alluring offers of regular employment at the cotton planters, be about from industrial centers. Crop diversification under favorable conditions, will go a long way to check the current agricultural unrest.
Dr Sargent's Address
Lollowing Dr. Motton's address was that of Dr. H. O'Sarent, the text of which was as follows. During the year ending June 30, 1922 there were 202 all day vocational arecultural departments in the Negro school district. 5121 principals taking vocational acrificulture in these departments, and 3839 pupils or 75 per cent of this number completed their supervised practice or farm work with a total income of $128,1879 or $855 per pupil, adding to this amount the work unit and evening schools makes a total of $161,603.09. There was expended from all funds state, federal and local, on the salary of the vocational agricultural teachers in these schools $192,744.99, making a return from the supervised practice or farm work unit, and the very dollars spent on the salary of the vocational agricultural teachers.
"While it is impossible for us to get any reports on the supervised practice or farm work of the pupils for the year ending June, 30, 1924 and for the year ending June, 30, 1925, fall after the report is made June 30. However there were, for the year ending June, 30, 1921 22, 11 all day schools with an enrollment of 6,336 pupils of 83 evening schools with an enrollment of 1,072 twelfth part time schools with an enrollment of 1,072 twelfth part time schools with an enrollment of 375. This makes an increase of 23 all day, 65 evening, three part time and 21 day unit schools. A total increase of 112 schools with an increased enrollment of 110 pupils. Some kind of vocational agricultural work is being done that that has separate schools for Negroes. Results of the vocational agricultural work that is being done in the sixteen states that have separate schools for Negroes 10 of these states have a training program preparing teachers for the vocational agricultural schools of the different states.
Vocational education among Negroes in the state of Alabama, was outlined by R. F. Cammack, supervisor of agricultural education in Alabama, who pointed out that "there are 17 departments of vocational agriculture being conducted in colored schools in the state of Alabama. The closing address of the aftermath of the attack on H. F. Hubert, director of the agricultural department of Tuskegee Institute, who said in part:
"Balanced farming" is a term used to designate the system of farming that gives to our farming operations stability or balance. It avoids radical changes from the system of farming generally, but allows for section of the farm has been thorny tried and found workable. It encourages diversity in crops grown as opposed to a system of growing only one, or two crops—the planting of corn, peas, peanuts, beans, oats, wheat, tobacco, and cotton; but it goes further than planting and harvesting a variety of crops. It means that the farm is locked into a pure hedge hogs, cows and poultry, not in excess but sufficient to derive an income that will go to the support of the farmer and his family.
Balanced farming means a satisfactory system of farm management. Crops should be grown, but the farm lands should continue to improve. The possible crop finer a business-like system of soil management.
Declaration Adopted
The following declarations were adopted at the close of the meeting. The Thirty-fourth Annual Uskagee farmers' conference sends congratulations to the Negro farmers of the south on the progress which they are making. This progress is indicated in a number of ways. It is shown by the intelligent way we have discussed the various problems which are now confronting farmers of the south in general; as for example: The marketing problem, the boll weevil, the preparation of fertilizers, the use of machinery in farming operations. The Negro farmers were requested from the agricultural schools, the Negro farm and home demonstration agents, from the vocational teachers in agriculture and home economies and other agencies working throughout the south. This conference takes this opportunity to urge that more rural workers, particularly Jeanes supervisors, agronomists and farmers of vocational agriculture and home economies be provided so that there may be still greater improvements in farming.
The Farming Situation
This conference takes this occasion to say a word about the present farming situation. It has both encouraging and discouraging features: every farmer has experienced some hardships, some difficulties because of the labor shortage in agriculture, and because of the labor shortage on the farm caused by the moyement of so large a number of people into the towns and cities. The shortage of labor on the farm has not only affected the white plan of the farm but also the lives of it. It is his wife and children who have worked in the field and helped to supply this labor shortage. An encouraging feature about the present situation is that those who endure the hardships present changes and improvements in their lives, times the benefits will come to those who are there to receive them.
A new farming situation has arisen in the south. To meet this new demand, Nigel farmers to improve themselves and keep abreast of the times. We must first of all endeavour to make farming a business. It only in the way that as a class we can succeed in business, that our business must know what we are doing.
Intelligence Needed
Should Own Homes
This conference will be to again emphasize the importance of owning a home. Ownership of a home increases the responsibility and reliability of the owner. Although we own over twenty million acres of land, there are set thousands of Norwegian families who do not own their own land. Hundred thousand Nero-german families who do not own any land. There are today great opportunities for buying land. Many of the large plantations are being broken up and played on the market in small tracts. Take advantage of these opportunities to buy land. There are still millions of acres of land to be cultivated which can be bought in very easy terms. In the future we should endeavour to do more to improve health the death rate to touch 10%. There are too many deaths which could be prevented. If you are sick, call a doctor, and do not depend on patient homes. Have a doctor continue you carefully once every year.
a dentist examine your death at least once a year. We take this occasion to call to your attention that National Negro Health Week is to be observed this year, the week of April 5-11. Let every Negro farmer throughout the South join in this effort for better health and make it the beginning of a year-round effort to keep well.
Banks Should Help
It has already been pointed out that the unsettled farming situation has greatly affected conditions as they concern Negro farmers, particularly in the rural areas, their skill as farmers and by diversification of crops to make a living under the boll weevil conditions. The other alternative is to accept the which images and other advantages the industries and the cities are offering.
In many instances Negro farmers, largely because of the lack of a general and permanent market for products other than cotton, are experiencing difficulties in getting financial advances for any farming venture except the raising of cotton banks, planters, and merchants with advance loans and credit. They often fail to make their crops. The result that a premium is placed upon living out of the store and not upon the raising of products at home. Incidentally the difficulty of the South's feeding herself is increased. Banks, planters and merchants can render a great benefit to Negro farmers, help to improve their conditions and assist in checking their movement to the market, some means of handling the market, and problems that Negro farmers can get advances for farming ventures in crop diversification. At the same time this would largely solve the problem of the South feeding herself.

The Rev. H. N. Jeter Addresses Brooklyn Audience on Migration
Three church congregations in New York and Brooklyn, aggregating 3,000 people, heard the Rev Dr H N Jeter of Newport, R I preach last Sunday using as a general subject the migration of Negroes from the south after pastoring the Shiloh Baptist Church in Newport for 42 years. Dr Jeter resigned and took up the larger work of the I Lanschelah Humane and Rebent Association to improve the conditions of life and service among his people throughout the country. He has been engaged in this special work since 1916 and has visited many of the largest cities in the U.S. from Maine to California. In this work he has reached more than 300,000 of the race.
But much of Dr Jeter's time is occupied in visits to white churches, and to these groups he speaks special of the exodus of colored people from South into western and northern centers, especially with reference to fitting them into their new environments.
One of the principal objects embraced in Dr. Jeter's campaign is to get the pastors and leaders in the North and West to interest themselves in the migrants and advise them as to the proper conduct they should observe. The Sunday at Holy Trinity Church, Brooklyn, the Rey L. Harten pastor, and found that congregation outfitted over the effort to win for the pastor the handmade Bank auto mobile in The New Age Circulation Campaign now abut to come to an end. Dr. Harten has done a splendid work since taking up the Brooklyn pastorate said Dr. Jeter.

CHAS. YOUNG POST TAKES ON SPIRIT OF A NEW LIFE
Members Are Aroused to The Need of Greater Activity In Behalf Of Legion
What is looked forward to as the recrudecises of the Gak*Charles Young Post, No. 398, American Legion; is indicated by its members as a consequence to follow from the action taken at the recent annual meeting and election of officers at Post headquarters, 2364 Seventh avenue, held Tuesday evening January 27.
Great enthusiasm was aroused among the faithful few who have labored to hold the Charles Young Post together when it was announced that thirty paid-up membership had been received at this meeting. It was pointed out that some of the best citizens of the community are ex-service men, eligible to membership in the Legion, and one of the important items on the new program is to be a concerted effort to bring these men into active affiliation.
A series of untwanted incidents during the past two years served to put a damper on the Post's activities 'Pressure of personal affairs in some cases and indifference in others led some of the strongest men of the organization, it is said, to become lax in their interest, with the result that it was possible for a certain element to gain a commanding influence. And it it developed, according to disclosures made public, that this controlling element was using its power for personal advantage, both officially and financially. A year ago, it is stated, an effort was made to rehabilitate the Post, but the movement did not go all the way towards "cleaning out the stable," and so the effort was not entirely successful.
But in the meantime, realizing that the Col Charles Young Post should be a powerful entity in the community and racial life, there was developing a determination to take such radical steps and put through such strong measures as might be found necessary. Members with best interests of the Post in mind therefore, according to information given by a member, gradually got together on the proposition
It was the concenus of opinion, following a deliberative consideration of the situation, that a strong personality was needed, and that coupled to that personality must be the record of successful accomplishment. In 1924, Dr M. V. Boutte who had served with the American Expeditionary Forces, with the rank of captain, had been impressed into service as commander of the Chas Young Post, but he found it impossible to serve and so resigned on the night of the election. In the 1925 election, Dr Boutte was again called upon and this time he has agreed to give his best efforts to rebuilding the Post
Associated with him in this endeavor is a splendid corps of officers, including Nathaniel A Burrell, Dr Thomas O Johnson, I N Braithwaite, who is the adjutant, with John H. Wilson as assistant, William Anderson, Attorney Thomas B Dyett, Rev Marshall L Shepherd, Harold L. Simmelkjaer, retiring Post commander, and Charles Frames. The new executive commitee includes the above officers and Dr B. B Johnson, Dr Leslie C Cater, Alonzo Burnham, and Norman C Johnson. An intensive campaign is to be projected, looking to an immediate strengthening of the membership personnel, adding to the Post activities, and to the occupying of its proper position in the county, state and national American Legion bodies.

Stoll, Stoll with thee, when purple morning breaketh,
When the bird waketh and the shadows flee,
There in the morning, lovelier than the day light,
Alone with Thee, amid the mystic
shadows
The sedenm hush of nature, newly
born
Lone with Thee, in breathless
adoration.
In the commune and freshness of the morn
When sinks the soul unto thy call to slumber
With closing eyes, look up to Thee a friend
Sweet repose beneath thy wing
all shading
But sweetest still to wake and find
Thee there
Oh, shall it be our lot on that bright
morning,
When the soul waketh and life's shadows flee
Oh in that hour when in daylight dancing
I shall rise the glorious thought
I am with Thee
Loving mother and father.
