Opposition To Morton Is Overcome; Tammany's Policy Stays Unchanged Colored Leader Will Not Be Hampered By Healy and Other White Leaders
Members of the United Colored Democracy of which Civil Service Commissioner Ferdinand Q. Morton is leader, are jubilant over the fact that the organization is to continue to enjoy autonomy as it has during the twenty six years of its existence, and that George Olvany, Chief of Tammany Hall will follow in the steps of his predecessors. Robert Gutter and Charles F. Moffett are in deeling with exiled voters through an accredited representative of the race.
An understating, is reported to have been reached between Commissioner Morton and the three white district leaders in Harlem who are now in complete agreement that the old order of things shall prevail: The white district leaders who, a few weeks ago, urged that Morton be shorn of much of his power and that the colored voters be put under white leadership were Andrew B. Keating of the 13th; Martin J. Healy of the 19th and Edmund P. Holohan of the 21st.
Adherents of Commissioner Morton assert the only opposition to their leader is a few disgruntled Negro Democrats who have been put out of the United Colored Democracy and are seeking to show discord for purely personal and selfish reasons. However, they are not taken seriously. Members of the same discount element that sought the overthrow of Chief Edward E. Lee as leader years ago are wasting time seeking to create misunderstandings against Commissioner Morton. Playing on the prejudices of those who have not had the good fortune to get an education by making slurring remarks about Commissioner Morton being a graduate of award is one of the demagogic methods used. Referring uncomplimentary to college students and the elements opposed to graft, and making Harlem an unfit residential district is another.

Knoxville Riots of 1919 Which Caused . The Death of 6 People Was Occasioned By False Charge Against Young Negro
Maurice Mays, Electrocuted A Year Ago For Murder Of White Woman, Believed To Have Been Innocent Of Committing Crime
Knoxville Teen . . . The arrest of William Sheffy, a shipping cleaver of the Alumnium Company of America, here on April 14, will bring about the reopening of the Mrs. Bertie Landsey case—the cause of the race roots of 1919 in which a score of people were killed or wounded.
In August 1919 Mrs. Bertie Landsey was murdered in her home by an unknown assistant Maurice Mays, accolied man was arrested, a few days later, accused of the crime. On the next day a mob of 1000 people stormed the county jail to obtain Mrs. Mays and Jocky Landsey. The State Maita was called out and repulsed the mob, but in the serpentine Lieut. James M. Payne of the Maita was accidental killed by his own forces and two Negroes—Joe Iter, a storekeeper, and E. E. V. Henderson who had just been discharged from the United States army—were shot to death by members of the mob who went marauding the colored section. A score of 1000 were more or less seriously wounded.
Although the mob did not lynch Mays, he was duly tried and executed more than a year ago even though he protested his innocence to the end. He was positively identified by the dead women's sister.
Now the knoxville police say that the murder of Mrs. Landsey was one or more than thirty cases committed in the last five years, none of which have been solved.
Sheffy has been under investigation for more than a year in connection with a dozen crimes in and around Marvell and Knoxville. At a preliminary secret hearing he was denied bad

Jewish Real Estate Dealer Tries To Rob A Woman Land Owner Colored Realtor In Harlem Is The Cause Of Her Saving Home From Sharks
There are numbers of wealthy colored people who own property in the Southern states and are selling their possessions and investing in real estate in New York City and other points North and East, but there are cunning "land tharks" who are always on the lookout for "fresh fish" among the colored people.
One of the recent cases discovered by a reporter for The New York Age is one in which of woman who is a resident of Harlem, and owning real estate in the State of Florida, who was negotiating with a Jewish real estate firm represented by one William G. Harding, a man representing himself to be a blood relation to the late ex-President. This woman owned a real estate property to Warren G. Harding but carries on some correspondence in which he represents himself as W. H. Graham of Palm Beach, Florida.
The deal that Harding, abas W. H. Graham, was negotiating with the colored woman, whose name is withheld, was to sell the property at such figures and on such pre-arranged terms as to set the real estate man a big profit while the woman who owned the property would scarcely received the par value of the land, excepting incidental expenses by W. H. Graham of Palm Beach and Mr. Harding advised the woman to accept his (Mr. Grahapak) offer and sign up with him for $50 per cent of all over $30,000 that the deal brought.
The woman simply asked Mr. Harding or Graham, as the case may be, to sign a contract to put up $10,000 on the contract and that throw a monkey wrench into the machinery. John Doyall, a real estate dealer, 13th street, had been accused in the insurrection the woman was asked as to what steps to take to safeguard herself. Harding refused to meet the woman's attorney and asked her not to let the colored realtor into the secret, but still Harding neglected to deposit the $10,000 on account. After Mr. Royall entered the case, Graham dropped out and his correspondent escaped but another instance Harding received a court-martial lawyer to propose a mortgage on the property and sell it next summer for the sum of $250,000 to be divided among the three of them.
WARNING!
The Ago warns all persons who take a public bus be misled by the promises made by azoa agents. These agents tell colored people, that such policies carry benefits for sickness and death, they do not specify acclimatisation, and they do not lessen in reading policies of this kind and are fooled into taking. Accident, policies only benefit you in event of an accident, don't be misled any longer.
Greater New York Churches Present Fine Easter Music
There have been other Eastern when the sun shone brightly and the air was rainy and invigorating, but last Sunday appeared to New Yorkers to be just a bit more agreeable than any recent Easter. And the people responded with enthusiastic vigor, filling the various churches during the morning, afternoon and night, and in interim, thronging the avenues and streets, making a kaleidoscope showing that revealed the other coats of the women in the other coats in the gowns, coats, hats, hosiery and footwear of the women.
The men, as a rule, furnished only a sombre background for their feminine consorts, but there were occasional instances of a brave attempt to assert masculine individuality by the display of a new spring top coat, or a light colored fedora, with spats, canes and gloves to match. But it was a footless endeavor.
(Continued on :Seventh Page)
She became incensed at this and broke off negotiation, declaring that she had stated to Harding that her lawyer could not be bought. The lawyer reversed himself quickly by asserting that he was only the attorney, but hated to see his client let her holdings go at the low figures first offered.
Harlem's Monte Carlo In Lafayette Building Is Operating Again
Harlem's Monte Carlo In Lafayette Building Is Operating Again
Harlem's Monte Carlo resort, the Colored Vaudeville Comedy Club, 227 Seventh avenue, commonly called the Poker club, has reopened on the benevolent basis in which they are courting the state insurance laws.
Their publicity man has somewhat stretched his figures and given out to some local publication that nearly two hundred people paid five dollars a head on opening night, all registering and joining as musicians or entertainers.
Prominent musicians and theatrical stars who do not belong to the "poker" club are all affluent as to where so many of the musicians and entertainers came from and paid a thousand dollars to join the new club when most of the recognized musicians and performers are non-members. The poker press agent has also included in his press releases last week that only those directly identified with the theatrical profession are now members. It is further promised the new members that the club which would have an insurance department, is going to pay the sick members weekly benefits and give $300 when they die.
The public is also informed through the press that it is a home like club with two big rehearsal rooms, a ballroom and a card room and electric piano.
WARNING!
There are also many grocery stores and butcher shops doing business in Harlem that are said to short-weight their customers. Customers should watch the scales to see that they are not cheating. Instead, negotiate what your money pays for. When clerks are caught in these offenses, the attention of the proprietor should be called and -other means resorted to in order that they may not continue.
200 MEN TEAR CLOTHES FROM LIMBS OF 4 INNOCENT GIRLS WORKING IN THE MAPLETON CASINO, BROOKLYN
Tricked Into Believing That They Were Hired To Work In Resort, Young Women Were Astonished When Asked To Disrobe For Male Spectators
Down in the dreary confines of the Tombs prison are four young white women who are being held for investigation on charges of disorderly conduct in the vicinity of Coney Island on the night of March 19 last.
But the four white girls pleaded "not guilty," and declare that they are victims of an infamous colored stool pigeon who inveigled them into a despicable debauch in which they were tricked to become the prey of more than two hundred passionate white men, fifty to one girl, and when they refused to submit to the carnal cravings of the lustful wretches, the house was raided, the girls arrested for prostitution, convicted and are now being held for investigation, their future depending solely on police reports.
The pathetic story told to a representative of The New York Age by the girls, who declare themselves innocent, is not fit for publication, but a modified spoon of the grusome plight of the four young girl prisoners who blamed a colored man as being the cause of their undoing is herewith stated on facts ascertained.
Woman As Partner.
There is a colored woman working in partnership with the stoll pigeon who has preyed upon unsuspecting colored man in Harlem for a long time. After many years of this criminal activity, without being malicious, this man turned upon white women, for whom it is reported that he has received a bill as one hundred dollars a head for wiling the souls of white girls into slavery.
The four young white women now within the toils of the law allege that the colored woman confederate of the stool pigeon called at their homes in person and engaged them to work in a resort as cigarette girls, and had them meet at her home to be carried out to the job. The man sat at the wheel of the car while the woman who hired the girls sat in the car with them, but when the car reached West 125th street, the woman pretended that she remembered a previous engagement and left the car, after which the four young men proceeded on to Coney Island with the man.
When the car with its occupants arrived in Coney Island the four girls allege that they were taken to the Maplewood Casino, Twenteth avenue and Sixty-third street, Brooklyn.
When they entered the resort there was a girl dancing and some two hundred men in the room witnessing the suggestive contortions of the entertainer. The appearance of the four new girls, who looked young and tender hearted, kindled the desire of the male spectators who immediately were attracted to the attractive females in a free for all dance and a soul kiss. The girls were astounded, for no one had had the least武 intimidated that any part of their work was to be other than legitimate and respectable; and when they spurned the improper advances of the vulgar men, brutal instinct turned the males into savages who tore the clothing from the hints of the helpless females, despite their struggles to protect their honour and save their own lives. "Kill of their explained but she was answered with "Cigarette, hell, you girls are in our power now and you are going to do what we want you to do." The two hundred men enjoyed what some people would call "a prince with four young women" at the ratio of fifty men to a girl but they could not accomplish the desired end, therefore they colored pigeon, knowing that he would not be paid unless the men succeeded in the pigeon would be active and recorded to his activeative of doublescrossing trusting womanhood so the four white girls found themselves peeping through prison hars.
Mme. Walker-Experts Will Invade Harlem
Owing to the large ever growing demand for marcel waving and all of the finer arts of Beauty Culture, the Mine C J Walker Manufacturing Company has decided to send its experts into New York City to get up and teach special classes in all of the latest arts of Beauty culture. Those coming to Mrs. Mine C J Hexanese who has just finished a class of Philadelphia Mrs. Marjorie S. Joyner, who has just finished a class of 24 at Detroit; Mrs P.

Radios Given Harlem Institutions By New York Lodge, B. P. O. E
The girls who are inmates of the Katy Ferguson Home for unmarried mothers, with the superintendent and workers, and the official staff and general membership of the 137th street branch W. Y. C. A are enjoying many evenings and days of pleasure since splendid radio receiving sets have been installed in each of these buildings. The sets were girls from New York Lodge, No. 1 N.B P.O. L, the white order, through its social and community welfare committee, of which Jen Brooke Morse is chairman.
The donations were made through the suggestion made to committee of Joseph J. Steink (Golden, 380 Broadway and Mr. Goldstein's interest was engaged through Aken A. Pope, counselor at law who lives in Harlem, but maintains his law office at the same address as the Goldstein's other members of the lodge committee as Benjamin Schreiber, Edward Buckley, Stephen Gorman, Dr. Cogdillon, with T. J. Johnson, secretary. The exalted ruler of New York Lodge is Sol Tolkus, in referring to the generous acts of the Eks, Counselor Pope says that although this branch of Eldgom is separate, and distinct from the colored order, the relationship between the two is amicable, and the P.O. F dispenses charity on the basis of need and merit, regardless of race or creed.
Woman As Partner
200 Men Present.
Danger. Was Ascertain...
Decency does not permit, the writer, picturing just what the young women experienced, but still it was discovered that the fifth woman who, was the dancer, when the four young women arrived at the Casino was a member of the clique and was arraigned. in court on the same charge of disorderly conduct, dancing while disrobed, with men, in company with four other comedy young women, but the dancer charged while the would-be cigarette seller was convicted in the Court of Special Sessions and held for investigation as to their moral character. They may be sent to Welfare-Island prison or undergo a blood test in the prisoner's department of the Kings County Hospital.
As for the colored man who-was the instigator of the inebable-dechauch, it is reported that he frames us, women of both races and will trick any man's wife or daughter into the clutches of men, black or white. And after he has made all the money that the can for, dooming the women's soul, he betrayed her by stealing it into the hands of the police, with which he operates as a stool pigeon, thereby making money out of his game one-way, or another.
It has been further stated that these are scores of young women residing in Harlem today who have been victims of this man's foul play but are afraid to tell their experiences on account of his police affiliations.
Employed to Entertain.
The stool pigeon is also accused of having employed girls under the pretext that they could earn large sums of money by simply entertaining fixed business men in his home, and girls who took chances, believing that all that they would be required to do was to be guests at a private party, afterwards learned to their sorrow that they had entertained policemen in citizen clothes who afterwards arrested them. The woman confederate to the stool pigeon is a very smooth woman, the girl is required to win the faith of the most skeptical woman. Both the women and the man make their living by selling the souls of attractive young wopper, colored and white, to men for immoral purposes, regardless as to whose daughter, wife or sister the innocent victim may be.
The proceedings at the trials of the four young white women prisoners impressed one that some unseen force was at work and powerful influence was employed to prevent the fair prisoners from even testifying for themselves in court. After the preliminary hearing of the young women, the colored man and his white friends baited the girls out of prison and kept them in the Coney Island section all night, where they tried every conceivable method to take unfair advantage of female prisoners, then give them up all of their money and the next morning the colored man disappeared and has not been seen since.

(By LUCIEN H; WHITE)
Although the heavens were smilingly bright, with rays of a brilliant Spring Day sun gladdening the earth, the hearts of men, women and children of Jersey City, N. J., were heavy and sad on Thursday, April 9, because on that day all that was mortal of the late Dr. George E. Cannon was laid away for its final rest in the beautiful Bay view Cemetry, high up, overlooking the placid waters of Newark Bay.
Seldom have the streets of Jersey City been thronged as they were on this beautiful afternoon by thousands who stood with tear-dimmed eyes, patiently asking the opportunity to give expression to the deep sorrow which filled their hearts and of the polignant pain which came at the height that a friend—their friend, and the friend of all mankind—had passed on to the Great Beyond, leaving a void, an emptiness that Time alone can fill.
ing their uniforms for the first time. In fact, special haste was entailed that they might mark their entrance into the official service by representing the city in paying honor to its distinguished dead.
These men are Rufus McClain of 228 Grand Street; Vincent Strothers of 35A Jewett avenue, and Felix Isom of 107 Virginia avenue, Isom and Storther-ers are World War veterans.
There was added to the woc that usually attends the death of one's beloved, the somewhat untoward manner of Dr. Cannon's death. The apparent carelessness of a bus driver, who heedlessly and hurriedly started his machine before being sure that his passenger had safely alighted; a loss of balance on part of the gasenger; and the machinery had been set in motion which brought to an eclipse the life of a man who for 25 years had labored unselfishly and effectively for the welfare of his people—for the welfare of all the people.
President Coolidge Condoleez
News of the death of Dr. Cannon brought reactions of sympathy and deep regret from all sections of the country and from all ranks and classes. The Coolidge, paused, in the midst of his head of the nation, President Calvin official duties, toomour the passing of a man esteemed and respected, and one he called a friend. Through Private Secretary Cark. President Coolidge sent the following message of condolence to Mrs. Cannon, the bereaved widow:
"My dear Mrs. Cannon:
"The President has heard with deep regret of the death of your husband, Dr. George E. Cannon. He asks me to express his heart-felt sympathy in the loss you have suffered. Dr Cannon was a loyal and sincere friend and one whose support and assistance was a real service to the Party and the President."
And from the White House conservatories there was sent a broad and wide blanket of beautiful white roses, as a tribute from President and Mrs. Coolidge.
And this expression of deep regret and sympathetic sorrow ran through its human gamut from the country's head down to the humbleest citizen of the poorest quarter in Jersey City, for each alike the late Dr. Cannon stood as an epitome of the highest and noblest type of manhood. He was as tenderly considerate and attentive to the one as to the other.
And this was further evidenced by the crowds that assembled to pay the final honor at the bier of a great man.
The Funeral Services
The funeral services were held in LMayette Presbyterian Church, the religious body with which the deceased had long been identified and in which he was a tower of strength and usefulness, materially and spiritually. Its capacity was far too limited to even begin to, accommodate the sorrowing throngs for the groups which stood bareheaded under the smiling sun would have filled fourfold the church edifice.
That this would be the case had been realized by the authorities and a tender of the spacious and commodious Armory of the National Guard had been made for the family for the obsequies, but the years of consecrated endeavor given by Dr. Cannon to the support and building up of the little church gave life to a flood of tender and sentimental recollections that precluded the possibility of the final service being anywhere else than in the church.
The body, after a 15-minute service conducted at the home by the Rev Dr William A. Byrd, pastor of Lafayette Presbyterian Church, at which only the immediate family was present was taken to the church, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. it lay in state, banked in flowers sent by loving friends, viewed by thousands who realized that this furnished them their only opportunity for personal participation in the funerary ceremonies. The three days that the body had launched in the life-stone in the home at 354 Pacific Street, three calvary Negro policemen had formed a guard of honor, standing watch, dawn and night. These men, newly appointed to the force largely as a result of the long and earliest fight made by the man lay dead were performing their first tour of duty for they were of such recent-creation that they were well

ing their uniforms for the first time. In fact, special haste was entailed that they might mark their entrance into the official service by representing the city in paying honors to its distinguished dead. These men are Rufus McClain of 288 Grand street; Vincent Strothers of 35A Sweet avenue; and Felix Isoam of 107 Vernon avenue. Isoam and Storthers are World War veterans. Long before the hour set for the public service, 2:30, the streeta bordering the church—Joy playa leads to Summit avenue—were jammed for the thousands who could not win entrance to the church. A score of police officials on duty keeping the crowds in order and they had a strenuous time of it maintaining a narrow passageway through the middle of the roadway. The pavements were solidly packed.
Lincoln Students Stand Watch
In the church, while the body lay in state, ten students from Lincoln University, all members of the football eleven, had relieved the policemen and formed the honor-guard which stood watch over the casket as the endless line of weeping and sorrowing friends and review of the body. The floral tributes of five auto baroches were required to transport them, were banked from sidewall to sidewall of the church, and pulpit, organ and choir lodges were almost hid from view. W P. Burrell of Newark, long associated with Dr. Cannon in political civic and &welfare endeavors, was in charge of arrangements for the service, and under his direction there was smoothes and lack of confusion. He worked hard by laying out the seating arrangements by J. Thomas Crown, an elder of the church, and C. Bion Jones
The pastor Dr. Byrd, officiated at the church service, assisted by three former pastors of Lafayette Church; the Rev W. E. Griffin of Atlantic City; the Rev Charles H. Trusty of Pittsburgh; and the Rev Chas. S. Freeman of Philadelphia. The Rev W. S. Smith, pastor of Monumental Baptist Church, and for a number of years closely associated with Dr. Cannon in both religious and civic work, represented the city clergy.
The church choir, with Mrs. Purvis Gaines at the organ, sang, and the organist played softly and appropriately during the hour preceding the service. Dr. Byrd read as the opening Scripture, "Now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept." The choir sang the hymn, "O for a faith that will not shrink" and the Rev. Dr. J. T. Colbert of Baltimore prayed fervently for the repose of the dead. A touching solo, "Face to Face," was sung by Mme Jones, and pastor Bryd expressed regret that the literal time would preclude the hearing of expressions from many distinguished friends of the deceased who were present, but that an opportunity would be afforded later at a public memorial service which would be ar-
Former Pastor's Pay Tribute
The first ecology was given by the Rev. Dr. Griffin, who paid a tribute to Dr. Cannon—student, citizen, physician—declaring that many of the civic privileges enjoyed in New Jersey today are results of efforts put forth by Dr Cannon The Rev Dr. Trusty who succeeded Dr Griffin as pastor at Laffayette Church, spoke of the splendid type of Christian mathod exemplified in Dr Cannon's life and of the wonderful heritage left to his children.
The third speaker was the Rev. Dr. Freeman, who was Dr. Cannon's predecessor, and he began his culpology by motting the beautiful phrase "The world is full of beauty when the heart is full of love," and then proceeded to draw the analogy that Dr. Cannon's world was always one of beauty he loved. He followed his fellow man. He spoke of the development attained through Christian education and its practical application as exemplified through Dr. Cannon's life as shaped by obedience to God. The minister referred to Dr. Cannon's faithfulness in attending church services, declaring that he would leave his office-prompt at 11 o'clock on Sunday, willing to wait patients that his next hour he devoted to God's service. The second Cannon's work of service is found in Paul's query, "lord, what will thou have me to do?" and his constant ef-

Caught Vision From Cotton Field
The concluding eulogy was by Dr. Byrd present pastor of Lafayette Church, who declared that Dr. Cannon had caught his vision from the cotton fields of the South, going on step by step to the attainment of his goal. His entire professional career had been lived in Jersey City and he had been an important factor in developing a fine interracial spirit, especially in the city's public schools. In view of the accident which caused Dr. Cannon's death, the speaker made an eloquent and timely appeal to the city's officials, many of whom were present to pay a last tribute to a duel that modes of transportation he made meant: that the lives and limbs of its people might be safeguarded. Following Dr. Byrd's eulogy, the favorite hymn of the deceased was sung by the chorus, "learning on the Everlasting Arm," many in the congregation joining in the singing.
Immediately at conclusion of this hymn the body was honee to the auto hearse, the flowers were removed to waiting cars, and the funeral procession wended its way through the city streets.

Tulsa is a beautiful little city situated on both banks of the Arkansas River and penetrated by the Francisco, the Katy, the Kante. Feo and the Midland, Valley mileposts. It is the county seat of the county, housing its name and the largest city in the State of Oklahoma. It is surrounded on two sides by beautiful scenic hills and on two sides by broad expanses of rolling prairie lands. It is one of the most growing cities west of the Mississippi River and ranks as the oil center of the region oil and gas fields. Tulsa has formed four fmst, largest and tallest buildings in the west. Many of the weathervillers oil men of the mid-continent field have taken residence there; and the "resident districts, are noted for architectural and landscape beauty.
At one time, the Negro population of the city seemed segregated to a locality somewhat remote to the white people, but under the rapid development of the last few years, the Negro section has been almost completely surrounded by both white and 1660, with hindrance, commodities, and development which has greatly enhanced the value of the property owned by our group.
The colored citizens has not been asleep during this period of development. He has built handsome residence, erected substantial business houses, built splendid churches, established parks and amusement places and created many other features of industry.
The reliable type of Tulsa Negroes differ from those of most places where our group have assembled in any considerable numbers. They will not dismay nor despair under the wilest and severest ordeals. They have the courage to face every difficulty and the mentality to grapple commendably for a solution. "Early every business, profession and industry commendable types) into which the Negro has ventured, is found in Tulsa. Dry goods store, clothing store, storeman, company, groceries, drug store, garages, food safes, market shops, tailors, watchmakers, butcher shops, photographers, printers, contractors, bottling-works, cabinets-makers, real estate dealers, and numerous other businesses make up the leading ventures, either of which will compare very favorably with the best among our group in other localities.
The hotel accommodations are equal to those in cities several times the size of Tulsa.
We have two auto jitney lines equipped with modern buses built especially, and four, taxi cab companies supplied with specially designed cars, one of which uses Cadillac cars only.
Tulsa has a religious congregation of nearly every denomination and some of the church buildings are handsome structures of architectural and interior finish. Other splendid church, buildings are under course of construction. The public site of this, thriving city take first place and the schools of the State. Splendid modern buildings planned, especially to meet the needs of modern school methods, the college, equipment for each department, and a high school curriculum comprising English, science, art, mathematics, business, including short hand and typewriting, domestic science, domestic art, manual training, auto mechanics and horti-agriculture, with a completely equipped green house, and a night school for everybody, with an enrollment this term of more than five hundred pupils.
The various lodges form a prominent part of the civic organizations of the city and there is a lodge for nearly every fraternal notion. Clubs of various kinds are scattered over the entire section and federate with a central organization. One of Tulsa's prominent organizations enjoys the distinction of owning an airplane and may be seen sailing over your head at most any favorable season.

Tulsa prosperity is paramount to every other issue with the people in Tulsa without regard to tides or erosion.
Tulsa offers the best opportunity for business and investments. No quality of similar size suburb. There is an opening for a hardware store a shoe store, a painter, supply and nail paper store, a produce house and a candy factory, either of which will make a splendid choice of investment here.
Tulsa will eventually break the movies and arrangements are being made to exhibit her real activity and life in this imager.
It will be worth while to take the trip to this wonderful little and breathe her inspiring atmosphere.

The beauty of Easter with all its magic suggestion and the spirit of Easter with its profound significance, so prevailed the atmosphere at Salem Church that it was a very natural thing to enter into the spirit of worship and to unite with the thousands of others who were present in adoration of the Risen King.
With music and with oratory, with art and reverential contemplations, thus was the first Easter in New Salem, celebrated. The intellectual, the aesthetic; and the emotional, all the agendas of human expression were generously fed in the great exultation of this momentous day: For many Easters past, Salem had longed to express herself unencumbered by space limitations or the other inconveniences of the growing population. On Easter Sunday, however along felt want was satisfied when she could assuring the full proportions of a great church observing a great occasion.
Rev. Cullen preached the Easter Sermon. The attendance, at this service, was immense. After the main auditorium was crowded, beyond seat, Rev. Cullen opened in the leisure room by Rev. Joseph Hill, the assistant pastor.
The empty Tomb was the central thought to which Dr. Cullen invited all attention. As a short preface he began by, explaining the method of determining the exact date on which any Easter Sunday shall fall, showing also, why it is a movable date. Easter, the greatest holiday, explained a memorial ceremony. All Christiandom gathers at the empty tomb confident that He is risen. "We think of the grave as else than comforting," said the pastor pastor, "but to the women of the first Easter morning the empty tomb and the words of the angel brought to them immensurable solace. But graves are not all dug in the earth. Human hearts are often graves: How many fond hopes and dreams are buried beyond a heart? The Easter lesson teaches that a resurrection must come and these hopes, though long suppressed, shall find expression in noble character and Christian deeds."
The Sunday school observed the day with special exercises, in which the members, large and small, portrayed very effectively the spirit of Easter.
Rev. Willard, Monroe was the orator of the Lyceum exercises at four o'clock.
The Choral, directed by L. F. Pier and ably assisted by Miss Olive P. Hopkins, rendered a musical program worthy of special mention. There was a profusion of beautiful solids and rich choruses that bespoke of excellent preparations on the part of the members. Rev. Monroe referred to Easter as heralding not only a new season but a new day in which the new order might succeed the old and the true concept of Easter shall inspire to righteouk activity. The Unconquerable Christ was the man who read at the Epworth League by Miss Agnes Cullen This department also made a fine impression by the manner in which the young men and young women devoted their talents to an appreciation of Easter.
The senior Chor, long noted for its music festivals at Christmas and Easter, had a full sudy in the evening. Despite the fact that seating accommodations were available for many times more than any number Salem could ever boast, standing room was to be had only with the greatest difficulty of Grant presented part of the program of Grant presented part of the company's new and talented members. The latter part was Haydul's "Celebration." This work was the climax to the day's celebration. Rudolph Grant directed the choir through this number in a pianner that would be a credit to any musical organization and certainly added more honors to the choirs fane. The solo work of Mine Gowins, George Simmons, and Jumins Williams was very pleasingly done. None entered the church but were struck by the elaborate decorations. The Floral Circle, which accomplished the marvelous feat of achieving such beauty and harmony, won much applause for its artistic taste.

St. James Pres. Church
"Greatest Easter in the history of St James," was the unanimous opinion of members and friends who had crowded into every available space. People stood on the steps that lead up to the gallery. They could hear though they could not see. The entrances were full and many turned away. Worshipers upon entering the main auditorium admitted and were deeply impressed with the beauty and solemnity of the decorations.
In the background hung the Cross with a wreath of lilies that extended to the pipe organ on one side and to the extreme west end on the other. All around the pulpit were potted plants and flowers, mostly Easter lilies.
In this beautiful setting, came just ward the youthful Rev. Lawrence McClory, who preached from the text, "If a man she shall he live again?" The premise was well laid and upon it he builted a wonderful sermon. He gave evidence upon evidence proying Death and Resurrection of Jesus. The sermon grew in power. After presenting all evidence and was summing up, he stepped-to the center of public and then many people shall he live again? Then he answered, "Yes, he shall live again." Many were moved in years. Some fought to suppress them, but the soul demanded freedom, and the flesh yielded. Excellent Easter music was rendered by the choir. The first special selection was "Christ is Risen." Then came the echo through that sweet soprano soloist, Miss Eloise Uggans who sang, "I know that my Redeemer liveth."

Inviting a very young man to a New York pulpit on Easter Sunday shows a broad spirit on the part of the officers of St. James. Moreover, it is an expression of confidence in the ability of young people to meet and master delicate situations.
The Church school present its Easter program in the afternoon. The program was well worked out by the departments. Boys and girls, from the smallest to the largest, played their part well.

STATION HEALTH
By Dr. B. S. HERBEN
Of the New York Tuberculosis Association
The Soldiers Grew
During the war, when all the young men were being mobilized and subjected to a strict routing, physical examinations made it possible to acquire certain records of height, weight and strength. Repeated examinations provided a check-out.
It may surprise you to know that/many of our soldiers, even though they were adults, showed an increase in height as well as weight and strength.
To what can we attribue this increase in height? The strength and weight increase might be obvious, but the adding of inches to the stature is another thing and one which interests everyone who is desirous of being "taller."
Many things must share the credit for this result no doubt. To begin with physical defects were corrected. Regular habituesse instituted perforce and sleeping, and rising, bathing, and eating were all laid down according to laws of time and necessity. Elimination was attended, to regularly-also. But these things cannot receive more than a passing glance from us, for it might well be said many times that he had been appointed to carefult habbits of living at home.
Food undoubtedly had a large, part in growth for it was apportioned after careful study, in correctly balanced amounts and kinds. (Unusual is the home where this is done.)
Added to food, it may have been that the exercise had more influence than we know. And why not? Exercise to the healthy is a stimulant to the entire system. It wakes the appetite and so induces people to eat less of the "luxurious foods" and more of the "sturdy foods" which are important to growth. It stirs up the eliminating system. It increases the circulation. It makes the mind more active, and even in-well-being, happiness of mind, and health itself.

intelligent. In appearance, these women do not differ materially; if as all, from the average women of the rank and file whom one passes on the streets of New York. For many a girl this court is a Geithmane. When arranged for final disposition some faint, some scream and fall and are carried, out by court attendants, others suffer in silence, and still others hear the fate stoicized by the court officer. The accused women is brought before: the court upon the complaint of a plain clothes officer of the special service squad whose work it is to hunt down women offenders. His statement against the women defend, ant is invariably corroborated, by his brother officer. The women rarely has a witness. Her word, if wonted at all, is rarely corroborated save, by his brother, who does not stand accused. Thus the odds are, against the women.
The officer frequently do not accuse the defendant of the commission of the act of prostitution, but rather of the suggestion of the act to tilt or some other male person. The testimony in the various cases is much the same, and often bears a rubber stamp likeness. In numerous cases an informant, no other than the informant of obtaining evidence. Such informant is known in the language of the street as a "stool pigeon's." The informant, who is said to enter a flat, doorway, basement or a taxi-cab as the case may be, with the women defendant, is not brought into court. Hence he may not be questioned by the woman's attorney, if she has his. His name is motioned in the complaint and an injunction, but the investigator rarely seek to locate him, his status being understood. The writer has on some occasions, however, sought to locate such informants but with poor success. At times she has found the address incorrect, and on other occasions found the name fictitious, or no such person known on the premises. A few informants or "stool pigeons are publicly known characters who are conspicuous by their absence at court at the time of the women's trial.
In cases of actual prostitution the offence against the law is made possible only through participation of men, but our "man-made" law does not consider the man who is the actual partner in the offence with the women as her accomplice, although the violation of the law could not be the willing consent of the man. The women alone is accountable, and she alone bears the juvenile and punishment. (One remedy suggested by Miss Camphisis is an amendment to the law making men co-defendants in prostitution cases equally guilty with the women, and that stool-pigeons employed for the purpose of trapping women be brought to face the accused women, as a matter of common justice.)

RONDEAU OF EASTER
At Easter time the lilies blow,
Daffodils and hyacinth glow,
With varicolored bells that ring
A fragrant chime to welcome
spring.
And bid farewell to cold and snow.
The birds will sing, the sap will flow,
And Nature's resurrection show,
We honor then, the Risen King
At Easter Time.
The world-seems full if joy, and so
Our greetings travel to and fro
Our loving messages to bring;
Let organs roll and choirs-sing
Of joy in heaven and earth below
At Easter time.

A PROGRESSIVE SCHOOL HEAD. Among the applicants for the principalship of the new Junior High School for Girls, known as Public School No. 136, Manhattan, is Mrs. Harriet A. Tupper, now principal of No. 119, located in Harlem. As the head of this latter school, which position she has occupied since 1917, Mrs. Tupper has demonstrated unusual zeal and progressive ideas in dealing with the school problems presented in this section. This school has a large enrollment of colored children, and Mrs. Tupper has not only made herself acquainted with their special needs, but has carefully studied the economic conditions that surrounded them and the industrial handicaps raised because of their race and color.
To surmount these conditions, she has established such lines of industrial training in this school as dressmaking, millinery, novelty and art designing and cafeteria cooking. She has extended the school day to six hours, in order not to lower the academic standards and still have time for these additional specialities. She has made the most of the limited housing capacity of the school by accommodating ninety teachers and 2,900 pupils in space intended for sixty teachers and 2,200 pupils, a feat in itself of no little merit. This is emphasized by the declaration that at no time have school hours been spent in having children walk around the block.
Her school is also noted for having one of the most successful parents' associations to be found in the city. The last two meetings were, attended by not less than six hundred people and many others have been equally successful. This shows that the progressive principal believes in the value of parental cooperation in the work of the school and knows how to get it and maintain the home interest in school work. This is an important factor in making school work, successful and in bringing out the best that is in the pupils.
Mrs. Tupper's educational qualifications are attested by the fact that she secured the superintendent's license from the State Department of Education in 1922 Her appointment as the principal of the new junior high school for girls would be regarded with confidence by the teachers, parents and the public generally as an indication of a progressive policy for that institution.
NEWSPAPER CRITICS CONVERTED.
A rather diverting sign of the times is the sudden awakening of a small number of Negro newspapers which have been carping critics of Dr. Moton, to the real service that he has been rendering the race since he became the head of Tuskegee Institute. Not long ago in referring to the Hampton Tuskegee fund, we had occasion to quote the Pittsburg Courrier, long a bitter and unfair opponent of Dr. Moton, as saying, "it ought to afford us extreme joy at this later date to admit the very efficient service Dr Moton is rendering Tuskegee, and not only that institution but the whole group."
More recently the Amsterdam News of this city announced on its first page, in a headline, that "Dr Moton Rings True," while its back page carried an editorial in black face type crying. "Award Dr Moton the Spingarn Medal." Coming from sources that have indulged in personal vilification of the Tuskegee principal and nearly all of his previous acts and motives, this change to fulsome eulogy is rather startling. As Dr Moton has not changed either his actions nor his speeches since his opponents have changed their tune, the change must be in them.
It may be to put a charitable construction on this sudden awakening, that the editors of the new papers have just shed their eyes opened at the late day, to the great work that Dr. Moton has been doing sometimes under unattainable conditions. It may be the Tita The Age was better informed as to his work than some of these other papers, or that it had a better understanding of the obstacles that Dr. Moton had to combat. The fact that his campaign for the Hampton-Tuskegee fund has resulted in millions of dollars as contributions may have opened the eyes of our contemporaries to the lasting character of his work.
awakening to the value of Dr. Moton's achievement is that our editors should not be too cockaure in their judgmental and criticisms. These captious critics may have been following an old practice of ambitious editors, in seeking out the most conspicuous target in the shape of a public character and firing at it, in the hope of attracting a return shot that might draw attention to themselves. But there is a decent way of playing even that timehonored game. The editor may differ with his victim on questions of public polley, without converting his criticism into personal vilification or violent abuse, as some of Dr. Moton's critics have done.
So long as criticism is couched in parliamentary language and is a question of measures and not of personality, the critic can change his tune without inconsistency. Courtesy and the preservation of the amenities of civilized intercourse are more convincing in disagreement with a policy or an action than personal abuse. The olden reversal of these editors in their treatment of Dr. Moton shows that they have either been asleep for some time, or that their previous criticisms were based on ignorance or malice.
A SINCERE RACE WORKER.
The sudden death of Dr. George E. Cannon of Jersey City marks a distinct loss to the race in the removal of an outstanding figure, whose distinguished characteristic was his sincerity. Conspicuous in all public matters affecting the race, whether in medicine, business, education or politics, he invariably brought to the cause that he espoused a wholehearted enthusiasm, born of his sincere belief in its justice.
Born in South Carolina some fifty-six years ago, Dr. Cannon had practiced medicine in Jersey City for a quarter of a century, having built up a large and lucrative practice, as patients including members of both races. He entered actively into church and welfare movements, as well as into political life. His sincere belief was that all these varied lines conducted to the benefit of the race with which he was allied, and he gave largely of his time and means to these outre interests.
His political service was recognized by the republicans of New Jersey in the Presidential campaign of 1921, when he was named one of the delegates from the State at large to the Republican National Convention. In the State primaries he was the second highest of the delegates chosen, being the first member of the race so honored. He was made a doctor of laws by Lincoln University, from which he had graduated with high honors in 1893, and Governor edge of New Jersey commissioned him as captain in the New Jersey National Guard 1917.
Dr. Cannon was in every way deserving of the many honors that came to him in the course of his active and busy career. He was living example of the highest type of citizenship that the race had produced, being always responsive to the many calls made upon him to support any good cause. As a sincere exponent of belief in the capacity of the Negro to rise superior to all impediments, Dr. Cannon practiced what he preached. His sudden taking off is a loss to the race all over the country.

PROBLEM OF GIRL WORKERS
That was a significant utterance attributed to Judge Jean Norris, presiding in the Women's Day Court at Jefferson Market, is reported by Miss Maybelle McAdoo in last week' issue of The Age-In answering some questions relating to the troubles of the young colored girl workers, Judge Norris was reported as saying, "The young colored girl lacks the right interest from her people both in and out of court." She went further and insisted that the cabaret and dance halls should be supervised for these reasons:
That was a significant utterance attributed to Judge Jean Norris, presiding in the Women's Day Court at Jefferson Market, as reported by Miss Maybelle McAdoo in last week' issue of The Age-In answering some questions relating to the troubles of the young colored girl workers, Judge Norris was reported as saying, "The young colored girl lacks the right interest from her people both in and out of court." She went further and insisted that the cabaret and dance halls should be supervised for these reasons:
"Your little colored girl likes to dance; she wants recreation. For some reason it seems she has not been given some standard of morals as others. She is taken advantage of. The number of colored girls brought before me is growing larger. Your churches could do an enormous amount of good."
This is the view taken of an acute problem concerning the race by the first woman magistrate that New York has appointed. The reasons existing for the increase in the number of colored girls who find their way into trouble that culminates in the Women's Court all go back to the fundamental conditions of proper housing and recreation. There is a great lack of adequate housing facilities of the right kind, or even homes
This is the view taken of an acute problem concerning the race by the first woman magistrate that New York has appointed. The reasons existing for the increase in the number of colored girls who find their way into trouble that culminates in the Women's Court all go back to the fundamental conditions of proper housing and recreation.
There is a great lack of adequate housing facilities of the right kind, or even homes and shelters, affording the girl a wholesome environment with good food, the privilege of doing small things for herself such as pressing etc., at a moderate cost. A prolation officer was the authority for this statement, with the addition that rooming houses which now offer about the only shelter for colored working girls coming to New York often furnish the wrong environment. Liven the Colored branch of the Young Women's Christian Association has no dormitory accommodations at present, surely as they are needed.
Judge Norris solved this difficulty by the following ex parte statement "You have rich colored people; they should establish
homes and respectable houses where a girl may get, wholesome food without a large amount of money. Of course, this notion of rich colored people in New York has been vastly exaggerated in the daily press and by certain members of the race for obvious motives. But when it comes to putting up any large amount of cash for such a practical welfare work as the one specified, we doubt if the colored philanthropist can be found with the necessary goods, no matter how willing his or her spirit might be. When the income tax payments in the second and third districts of New York were published last year, few of these overrated millionaires were to be found in the list.
But that does not dispose of the wisdom and propriety of Judge Norris' recommendation. What cannot be accomplished, by the single donation of one rich giver may be accomplished by the smaller contributions of a large number of givers. Through these donations, such homes and shelters as are needed could be established through an organization formed for that purpose, or the money could be applied through some existing welfare organization devoted to girls work. As suggested, the churches could be of great help in carrying out such a movement. The furnishing of proper housing for colored working girls and the supervision of cabarets and dance halls should demand a conspicuous place on the program of civic improvements undertaken by the federation of churches.
BRITISH POLICY IN SOUTH AFRICA
The most important point I discovered is that a very much larger percentage of the Union is suited to the growing of cotton than I had thought. The industry can be developed to an extent that nobody has ever contemplated. There is no reason why we should not produce cotton equal in value to our present gold output; but it is going to take time. Our farmers have got to learn how to grow cotton, and we want lots more intelligent white people to engage in the business. It is not land that will limit our production. It is people.
The point of this report is the artless statement that "we want lots more intelligent white people to engage in the business." This shows that the British policy toward the darker races is identical in certain points with the American policy, as one of exploitation. It differs in this respect with the policy inagurated by the Germans when they undertook to start the growing of cotton in Togoland. The Germans secured trained men from Tuskegee Institute to go Africa to train the natives how to raise cotton, which at least gave the natives a chance to earn a living at that occupation.
The British policy in South Africa, since it has shared control with the Boers, has been on a par with the Holland Dutch policy on the island of Borneo, one of ruthless suppression and subjugation of the natives. Great Britain tried the same policy for centuries in Ireland, until it finally collapsed in the setting apart of the Irish Free State. The American policy inaugurated under the Wilson administration in Haiti, has been in principle the same species of exploitation of the natives, through murder and rapine and ruthless subjugation by the means of the United States marines and their machine guns.
The trade marks of Nordic civilization are the subjugation and exploitation of native races.

NEW JUDGESHIP FOR HARLEM.
NEW JUDGESHIP FOR HARLEM.
One of the consequences of the Billups bill, passed by the New York Legislature and now awaiting action by the Mayor and the Governor, is the practical assurance of a colored judge of the municipal court in the seventh district. According to this act, which was introduced by Assemblyman Pope B. Billups and passed by both houses, the New York City municipal court code was amended by changing the boundaries of the seventh district and creating a new district, to be known as the tenth. Two new justices are to be elected for the seventh district, if this bill becomes a law, and as this territory will include the Harlem section, one of the candidates is expected to be chosen fro mthe group of colored lawyers.
One of the consequences of the Billups bill, passed by the New York Legislature and now awaiting action by the Mayor and the Governor, is the practical assurance of colored judge of the municipal court in the seventh district. According to this act,
There is every reason to expect that both Mayor Hylan and Governor Smith will approve the bill, the additional judge being warranted by the growth of population in this part of the city. The fact that the seventh district includes the largest group of colored population and voters is conceded to entitle that element to representation in a judicial capacity. While The Age has at times felt it necessary to oppose the idea that nominations to political office should be based solely on the ground of race or color, yet it has contended that these conditions should not act as a bar to political preferment. The seventh district, even as divided, will contain a large number o
white residents, so the choice of a colored lawyer, as one of the judges will not tend to promote the idea of segregation on account of color, a thing to be avoided. In nominating a member of the race for this position, merits and capacity should be taken into consideration, as well as the necessity for racial representation on the bench. This is true, of both parties, as the likelihood is, that both Republicans and Democrats will recognize the good politics of such a nomination. In picking out a suitable candidate for the judgeship, it is essential that he should have the necessary quali-
dear to command him for such a position. Not only must he possess the requisite knowledge of the law and experience in the courts, but he must have poise and dignity, the judicial temperament and human contact that will enable him to fill the position with satisfaction to the public and to the members of the bar who practice before him.
The prospect of a colored judge for Harlem to begin the new year is a propitious omen, but in order that the best results may accrue from such a move, it is imperative that this accession to the bench be based on merit rather than on color alone.
Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors
The Baltimore Afro-American accounted for the attack of a white Virginia editor on Hampton Institute by a headline containing the single word, "Jealous." It said further: Official figures showing the endowment of the leading colleges in Virginia bear out the contention of the Press that Hampton is the richest Virginia Institution.
Hampton Institute, endowment $4,-
916.102.
University of Virginia, endowment
$3,500,000;
Williams and Mary College, endowment under one million.
University of Richmond, endowment $1,980,837.
Washington and Lee University, endowment $1,310,017.
If Hampton and Tuskegee get, the five million, endowment they are now campaigning for and the additional two million from George Eastman, it will mean three and a half millions for each of them. Hampton's endowment alone then will be some $5,800,000, and the Institute will stand 17th on the list of 176 American colleges having endowments of more than a million.
We think that the Press should be proud of the distinction Hampton brings Virginia rather than jealous of it Hampton is a national institution, not one of more local important like other Virginia schools, college colleges, it is the vignetted colored school, and even with its increased endowment falls way below Harvard ($60,000,000), Columbia ($56,000,000) and Yale ($39,000,000), the wealthiest white schools.
Of all these 176 schools in the million dollar classes, only three are colored, Hampton, Tuskegee ($2,600,000) and Fisk ($1,000,000).
Our poverty is evident, and yet this big white daily newspaper begrudges us that.
Evidently the editor of the Virginia daily fears that the spread of education among Negroes would dispel his cherished belief in Anglo-Saxon superiority. Hence, these tears over Hampton.
The Nashville Clarion claims that the religious denominations of the race are contributing wonderfully to the industrial and economic life of the nation. As an example of this fact, it said:
Their publishing houses are the largest, most substantial, and most convincing assets which they have. There are Sunday Schools everywhere, and the demand for literature and merchandise if that department is ever on the increase. There are two splendid illustrations of this fact in this city; one is the African Methodist Episcopal Sunday School Union, which owns a large and prosperous publishing plant at the corner of 8th avenue, and Lea avenue. This plant consists of much new and up-to-date machinery, an expert working force, and several valuable pieces of property added to the plant's giving expression to the life of that denomination in a very large and convincing manner. The second illustration is that afforded by the National Baptist Convention. It owns a well-equipped establishment for its young people located at 409 Gay street. This property is valued at $40,000, is paid for and is therefore one of the most substantial assets which the denomination has. Here is a large working force which is kept busily engaged in sending out tons of literature for the instruction, inspiration and guidance of the great army of young Baptist people under the influence of this great denomination. An important illustration of the great publishing house, corner 4th avenue, and Cedar street, which is being erected at a cost of $60,000. This is the largest and best equipped publishing house of the kind in the world. It gives to the Baptist denomination and the race, prestige, and influence in all quarters of the globe, and vouches to the degree of commendation and support which less successful institutions cannot command.
There is room for still greater industrial and financial development in connection with the building and upkeep of the Negro churches of the country. It should be the part of an alert liaity to utilize these opportunities for business growth.
The Old Dominion philosopher of the Richmond Planet in his accustomed onuscular vein, gave vent to the following truss.
Thousands of people believe in luck and in games of chance. They rather write ten dollars after months of waiting and do not tend to earn one hundred dollars after a few weeks of hard and incessant labor.
That is the gambling instinct rooted in some nature, which enables the "numbers bankers" to trade around in expressive motor cars, while their dippers take a chance with the rent money, and usually lose it.
Despite the discouraging outlooks at times, the St. Luke Headland Richmond voices the belief that "encamped minds

in the South are growing more numerous every day." It continued:
Agyhief southerner entered a street car and took a seat beside a colored friend and companion of years. The conductor ordered the white patron to the front. "I have something to say to my colored friend," was the report from the white passenger. It did not matter to the conductor. It did matter to the white customer who continued his pleasant business conversation with his colored comrade. "Am I a slave that I must be driven from pillars of a colored friend of mine?" He kept his seat and continued his conversation until he left the car.
There are thousands of just such white people in the South about whom no one ever reads or hears. All the political tinder of social equality and white superiority is nothing but a feeble effort to bolster up the waning folly of Anglo-Saxon selfishness. The hour has come for men and nations to become personal to the community, they cease to seek special favors from questionable sources.
Inter-racial friendship is being built up out of these splendid emancipated spirits who are doing all in their power to effect a change from the old customs to the new progress of public sentiment in the South. The minds frankly believe that there is some good on their side of the line of color. "Emancipated minda" is a good term to designate those white Southerners who have freed themselves from the slavery of color prejudice. With their increase in numbers the "jim crow" street cars would become a back number.
According to a Columbus letter in the
Editor of The New York Age
Please allow me space for a few words concerning Professor James B. Dudley, the late president of the A. & T. College, Greensboro, N. C.
Shaakespeare says that some men are born great, some achieve greatness, while some others have greatness thrust upon the The deceased was not born great, because he entered this world is a state of physical servitude, as both of his parents were slaves, neither was greatness thrust upon him, yet the opportunity was, whereby living, the ecological schoolhouse of the greatest achievement.
To make plain the latter statement, I shall relate a few facts of my own personal knowledge. The legislature of 1895 appointed Professor Dudley a member of the board of trustees of the A. & M. College, then to represent the sixth Congressional district. When the board met in May the same year in its annual meeting he was elected its secretary, the late Col. Thomas B. Keogh being chairman. The following year, in May 1965, it became evident that he had been indent of the college on account of the resignation of Professor J. O. Crosby at first president.
Among the number of applicants for the presidency was a man who is a native of the state and who had not only a state wide but a national reputation as an educator. He unquestionably had been a board member of the board for the place, even including Professor Dudley, who was not an applicant. In response to their invitation, this educator appeared before the board while in their annual session, and after answering several questions seemingly satisfactorily, would have been unanimously forced to take a less formal role on the board a little time to decide whether or not he would accept
The trustees have been in session already two days, expressed themselves as being unwilling to hold over another day, awaiting the decision of the candidate who was manifestly their choice. Therefore, adjournment for lunch, upon their return to the afternoon session soon after the meeting was called to order, the chairman, Lol Keogh, said, "Gentlemen, I don't know what you may think about it, but I see no reason why we should wait longer to discharge our duty. I believe we have right here among our associates good presidential timber in the person of our secretary, Professor Dudley, principal of the Dudley School in Wilmington. What do you? After this suggest on without much discussion on the subject, upon motion Professor Dudley was unanimously elected the second president of the "A & M College for the Colored Race of North Carolina."
Soon after Professor Dudley's election, we often met and had frequent conferences on the subject of his new and great responsibility. For he knew that, notwithstanding I was principal of the grade school at that time, yet I had once been connected with the college, during the first three years of its beginning. And therefore, having an open mind he might all the aid and information that was available to help him get a job. For he was conscious of the fact that the state of North Carolina, through the trustees of the college,

Cleveland Gaertz, a recent decision of the Ohio Supreme Court held that school boards in that State have the right to segregate colored and white children in the same school, by the use of special classes and special teachers, commencing on this deplition the Gaertz. did so temporarily.
The influence of the Ohio Klan Klan, we believe, is at the root of this refusal and there is a willingness for our people to do but to get together at once in a state organization and a fight for our rights as citizens of the public schools of Ohio such as we have never put up before. For more than a year the Gazette, has wired up people of the state, and again urged them to organize, perfect a organization that could be dependent upon look after our interests in Ohio. All other matters of vital concern now it must be done, and promptly. Now
The fear is that, if allowed to such this decision will result in the wholesale segregation and "tim crowing" of school children in Ohio. Edward Smith is right in urging organized opposition to such an undemocratic version of the public school system.
In discussing the projected campuses of the National Association of Credit Men to drive out of business the crooks and swindlers who thrive under a sense of respectability, the Pittsburgh Counsell said:
A few figures will interest us in the magnitude of the problem before the credit men. Through 'commercial fraud' alone the American people are taxed about $18 per family. There are about twenty-two million families in the United States. This means a yearly loss of about $396,000,000. The losses sustained through fraudulent bankruptcies amount to $400,000,000; bad debts are said to total about $150,000,000; while bad checks issued to about one million. The bankruptcies make a calculated on all these items, and their figures are believed to be conservative. The slogan is 'get the swindlers and crooks.'
The Negroes of the country furnish fertile soil for all classes of unrestricted operatives. The Negro buys any and everything offered by a white salesman. We offer these figures as a suggestion that it is about time we locked into some of the chances we take with any salesman who happens to want an easy victim.
Too much hard earned money is pared with by gullible working men and women, who are easily impressed by an oily salesman with some get-rich-quick scheme. Any movement to make the operations of these business-swindlers more difficult should be welcomed.

had imputed upon him no small man's task and that his experience and mental qualifications were somewhat limited for his future responsibilities.
He, therefore, got busy, he conferred with and studied men; he read and studied books; he went to summer schools to make himself efficient. He became acquainted with the details of the curriculum of each department as far as possible, that he might know whether or not the instructors were fulfilling the requirements of their special departments. In fact he became a master of details. He not only sent his co-workers throughout the state, but he also went him to lecturing, informing, and educating our race group as to the necessity and value of the training of their boys at the M. College, so that when he "stacked his M. college at last," the 40's the enrollment had growth from fifty to over five hundred regular students. If the summer school teachers are also counted, about nine hundred in all, Pledestant Dudley first took charge in physical equipment was valued at $100,000, today it is worth around $,000,000.
To bring about such great results required shrewd, patient, and unceasing labor. There is no other Negro in North Carolina who has ever been able to get the aid of leading white men, the police press, and to handle a governor and a legislature in the interest of his school to us looking well and happy. As usual, we have been fortunate in the year in having pleasant experiences through the school, and to such an extent as President Dudley during the nearly thirty years of administration. And it was three fact, savidity and diplomacy that he succeeded. Another valuable asset in composition, was his graciousness if was a Chestrefield in good manner, politeness was proverbial. This was doubtlessly largely due to the early training and teaching of his good mother. A few days after his death a prominent white man of the city entered the barber shop to have some of his hair being waited upon. During his barber's thought he replied, "I have been criticized make of him and that is I always the he was too polite in taking off his hat to me, whenever we met."
President Dudley was also very pathetic and democratic in disposition as well as a public spirted citizen. And other traits I could mention made a real man in many respects is my nation.
That he as the rest of us may had his imperfections, I do not. But he would not have been human he not had them. We read in the Scribes that, the mother of the two sons, Zecharie one day approached Christ certified in her heart that she asked, "Were they she repent "Grant that these my sons may sit on one on thy right hand and the other on thy left in thy Kindoh" Christ her she know not what she asked whoever will be great or chief am I you let him be your servant" By this test or standard James Benson Dudley was a great man, because it was his heart's desire to serve his race and the South Carolinaording to his heirs, and I loved he succeeded in doing it CHAS.

Church Activities In Greater New York
Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church
Saturday night Pastor Stirchman's talk was one He dealt with in the community which led up to the apologetic Easter as a church festival. He was said, among other things, that the devotees of Easter say that the should come that the modern monasteries and churches generally goodhearted are open concerning it? One wonthemepresent reached in the South this white baptist preached in the South this one that his congregation would hear the heathen goddess Easter. Who did the other denominations say, said the Baptists everywhere thunder from the pulpits the words of Dr. Hinesen that baptism and baptism by anyone done to God's appointed way of accepting faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ?
Pastor Strachan began his discourse by quoting from dictionary, encyclopedia and histories. His first extract was from an American Tract Society publication and read as follows: "There was a Christian feast called Easter in the days of the apostles or the early church. He took another from Waterville's Magical Dictionary as follows: 'Temptation appears to have been exorcised by Jesus Christ or by his apostle.' Another was taken from Seward's Encyclopedia of Religious knowledge. It was not unaltered after exorcism, but a festival of exorcism and another from Brittania; an arrival of the old Teutonic Empire; a pagan idea essentially" "Now and Pastor Strachan, "from the days of the exodus from Egypt under a present hour, the Jews have celebrated their pastor. A few centuries after the church the Christian church desired to appoint a festal day on which to honor the patronage of Christ.
Now to join the Christian celebration where it belonged—at teth time the Jews were having their passover—would give the impression that the Christian church was often living itself with Judaism; and of course many said, that would never do. The Christian wished to be as much unlike the Jews as possible.
But, since the pagan or heathen had a total day or holiday about this season the year—a day given up to the west and most lenticottides practices,—appropriate head in the church, adjoining no dispute over the time of the season, even though it be identified with the Jews were celebrating. It was agreed to honor the Christ of "At the same time we were celebrating, not because their concern was new to have nothing said they were their celebration, and they accepted the name of the heathen god, and give her name to the day. It was argued that
had object to embracing the name and idea, and since it overcame the necessity of calling the festal procession the name the Jews had for occasion. Besides, to adopt a tradition, the-barrier and prejudice against heathen and the Christian will be broken, making it easier in the heathen. The Christians did not only accept the name of the heathen goddess, but also arms they received all the powers of the heathen-blessing and the divine powers. The decorated eggs are by the heathen priests were arranged as presents among the Christian rabbit, the dearest of all the priests, the goddess, came into play, while turning on the Christian woman was emblematic of the blessing and the heathen goddess brought to the child.
I under," said Pastor Strachan, "if he braven was insulted when the sun came on earth named the resurrection date, the licentious goddess of the earth would if the skies frowned and emblems of the vilest idolatry were abolished by the Christian? I won't answer if the Baptist preacher in San Antonio, South Carolina, was right in calling the angel praises in the future will be church house to the pagan church?"

At the morning service the auditorium was packed to the doors, even standing room being at a premium.

Rush Memorial Church
At 11 o'clock, Easter Sunday morning, Dr. Oliver, the pastor, preached a beautiful sermon on "Resurrection Now." The text is found in Colossians 3:1 "If ye then be risen of Christ, seek those things which are above." Dr. Oliver, said, in part, as commemorating the Resurrection of Christ, Easter has always been regarded as the chief festival of the Christian year. As an observance of the Divine fact, it always comes to us in the earthly sense of springtime, when all life seeks newness and resurrection. And when we think of risen life, we think of a most beautiful condition, for after a siege of a cold and hard winter, we notice the trees and flowers, and all nature taking on, apparently, new life. In considering the subject, "Resurrection Now," we must think of elevating ourselves, and concentrating on things above. One's life in a community should be so conducted that his fellow man might get inspiration from him. Man has done very little for the world as compared with what Christ brought us. Main offered hate for love, "vengeance for forgiveness, practices was rather than peace and superstition rather than truth. But Christ, with His message of love, death of its terror and became viceroy, will tell us, Our life, in order to be Christ like, be filled with Love defined by deeds. By helping others, we also strengthen ourselves. Almost every community has raised up some uplike character whose life would be used as, an example by which men can be led. Christ had always been a fitting example by which we could build our lives. He left a beautiful life filled with deeds backed up by Love. The greatest sacrilege which could ever be made—giving of his life that we might have eternal life.
Twelve persons joined the church. There was such a crowd that an overflow meeting was held downstairs in the chapel. The Church was very prettily decorated with flowers and canaries. In the afternoon the Sunday school had a special Easter program. And at 8 o'clock, the program was rendered by the choir, Mrs. Elsie Benson Bourke, organist director.

A number of persons were turned away, because all the seats were occupied.

Hours before the services began people were filling the auditorium to its 2,000 capacity and hundreds were standing, and at eleven o'clock the lecture room with 1,000 chairs was filled and more than one hunder persons were standing. The rostrum was very prettily and artistically decorated with plants, cut flowers, and birds. The services up and down stairs were deeply impressive on beginning and Bohh F. Fillippe and Mrs. Eva B.

MARCH 10, 2014
Easter day, in New York, when the weather is good is always a memorable season. Last Sunday was a perfect day. People of all walks of life were out in the garden of spring. Grace Church, though one of the late arrivals in the Harlem field, shared with the larger and older church organizations the popular favor. The crowd filled the church to the street and many turned away, too late to enter.
The pastor, Dr. Garner, and officers had arranged a wonderful program preceding the sermon the chor, in charge of Fred J., Work, assisted by Mrs. Marie Peake Johnson as solist, rendered several anthems including "Immigrants" by Rosinii, Mrs. Marie Wayne-Thompson rendered "The Holy City" with variations, as a violin solo. It was a delightful number, gracefully and artistically executed, W.r.f. Holland, sang a fine bass solo. The little flower girls dressed in white, took the flower offering. This goes to the Flower Committee, who had the church-decorated very tastefully rich but not gawdy.
The pastor received into membership some eight or ten little church school children.
The choir sang again and then the pastor spoke from the words, "Why should it be thought a thing incredible to you, that God should raise the dead?" Following the sermon the choir sang; the pastor appealed to the unawaved Christians who were without church homes. The following responded and were baptized. Miss Sarah Holsey, 2427 Seventh avenue; Mrs. Clara Patterson, 188 West 135th street; Miss Vera Ma, 1917, 207 121st street; Miss Eleanor Cooper, 26 West 136th street; Miss Eleanor Williams, 207 West 141th street; Mrs. W. Streator, 181 West 135th street; Lawrence Neville Seymour, 205 West 137th street; Miss Eleanora Jenkins, 27 Montgomery street; Ernest Clarke, 306 West 138th street; Miss Marie, 233 West 141st street; Mrs. Georgeann Williams, 22 East 127th street; Miss Lilian Paliares, 315 West 138th street.
Two babies were baptised: Geraldine Cammilla McAllister, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. D. McAllister, 880 Sli Nicholas avenue; Mrs. David Murray and Flemming Rose god-mother, respectively. Ernest Calvin Mayer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mayer, 2255 Seventh avenue; Mrs. Joseph Walcott, god-mother; Joseph Walcott and Dr. Harry D. Evans, god-fathers.
The Tribes reported and the offering for the day was $1,100.
The Sunday school held a fine exercise at 5 p. m. Mrs. N, B. Scott, superintendent.
The choir sang the "Seven Last Words of Christ" with Mrs. (Lulu Robinson Jones) as soprano soloist; George H. Reyall, bass soloist; and Andrew W. Brickard, tenor soloist. An appreciative audience attended this service.
The pastor announced the reunion of the church membership and friends at a public reception at St. Luke's Hall, 125-127 West 130th street, with a short program and announcement of the rally returns and Smith's Orchestra, for Wednesday night. April 15. Mrs. Martina Dabney is chairman.
The Rev. McDowell, our Missionary Africa, will speak at Grace Church Thursday night. April 16. Every body welcome. Free admission. This is Mr McDowell's last service prior to sailing on the following Saturday.
Mt. Calvary Ind. Meth. Church
The Easter services at Mt. Calvary Church were largely attended. At the morning service the doors were closed as early as eleven o'clock as the auditorium and galleries were packed. The church was most beautifully decorated with palms, lilies, and cut flowers, and the chancel was festoned with smilax and other rare vines.
An impression candle light service was held at 6 p.m., a large number attended at this early hour, and all testified of their experience in knowing and following the Risen Christ.
At the morning service, Dr. Cogginia, the pastor, spoke on "The Resurrection Of Christ," being the supreme thought of the world on Easter Day. The sands who turned out for church on that day came to review the study of the Resurrection. Salvation and light was brought to the world through this great This Christ which from the dead came to review who raised Lazarus from the grave, who healed all manner of sickness and diseases; who carried the gospel everywhere. He went, who blessed the little children, and when he had fulfilled His Father's mission died on the Cross for the redemption of the world. This same Jesus whom we worship and adore at this Easter season, is present in spirit among us to-day; having thrown off the shackles of death. He acts victoriously at the right Land of His Father interceding with the Lord of Easter, exercises at 2 p.m. in the auditorium where a large number were present. This school raised $125
At the evening service the church was packed. The pastor spoke on the subject of "Clear up the Forest" text group 17.15 Many beautiful thoughts were brought out of this lesson, which was enjoyed by all. The collection for the day was $800. Light new members joined the church.
Rendal Memorial Church
The pulpit was beautifully decorated with Easter lilies, palms and potted plants. The auditorium, with its seating capacity of 600 was taxed to the limit. The choregue in a most pleasing program several appropriate numbers. Dr. Lawton was at his best. Eloquent and thoughtfully he discussed "The Significant Climax of a Great Life" The administration of the Holy Communion followed the sermon. The Easter offering was large. There were many out of town visitors at the service.
The Sunday school gave an interesting program at 2 p.m.
The choir presented a beautiful cantata to an appreciate congregation at 8 p.m.
The pastor will occupy the pulpit this coming Sunday morning. The public is cordially invited
Home For Sale, New York City, Long Island, New Jersey—see The Age Classified Aa-Page 10.
The main Easter service at 11 a.m. with special music and sermon, and also a third celebration was superb. Recorder Boyd's theory was the "Gate of Eternal Life" and the masterly way he brought home to his congregation that the resurrection of Jesus is to the world. "The Gate of Eternal Life," will long be remembered. The church was filled to over flowing and many people had to be turned away.
Through one of the best soloists was absent on account of illness. Yet the music was great and Mr. Johnson and the choir deserves much credit. The choir will repeat the Easter music next Sunday, at which time it is hoped the missing soliat will be well lenough to be present.
2 p.m., the Sunday school Easter service was very effectively rendered by the children with Mrs. A. C. Mills-at the organ and the junior choir on the channel. The Easter address was delivered by Superintendent G. C. Findlay, in which he impressed the children that where as Easter is the Queen of First yet every Lord's Day is a reminder to us of the Easter victory.
At 6 p. m., there was a splendid Easter session of the lyeum with Mrs. Ella Thomas in the choir and Clarence G. Holmes as the special speaker. At 8 p. m., a service of song by the choir and a brief address by Rector Boyd, brought this greatest of all Easter for St. Philips to "a" close. The manner in which Rector Boyd journeyed to Emma and thence to the Upper Room, to the Chapel, to the man of the world keep house and become a joyful mother of children, as proclaimed in the 8th verse of the 131th Psalm.
Easter was observed at all the services at Siloam. It was the peak of christian worship and service in the church. At the morning hour of worship the church was filled to overflowing at which time Rev George Shippen Stark, pastor preached the Easter sermon an The Risen lord, taking his text from I. Corinthians 15.14. the beginning of the service the sermon of the bapist was administered. These parents presented their children for infant baptism: Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Morris; Mr. and Mrs. James L. Dishman; Mr. and Mrs. John Bennet. Following the sermon the confirmation class of 1925 of junior boys and girls was received into membership and partook of their first communion. These members of the class received the argument of baptism: Miss Alice Grewn; William Thompson; Wesley Wynn. It was a beautiful sight as the class chieved in the processional, "Onward Church Soldier and unbelieber, before the altar to be received, before the of the confirmation service the class matched out singing their class hymn, "The Church's One Foundation."
In addition to the confirmation class the following persons were received in- to membership. Mrs. Bessie M. Wesley, 116 Waverly avenue; Dewey Brown, 295 Lexington avenue, Mrs. Carrie E. Brown, 295 Lexington avenue
Sunday evening the choir rendered a cantate, Stevenson's "Easter Eve and Easter Morn." under the direction of Lucien H. White, organist-director. The cantata was beautifully rendered and the approval of the large audience was voiced by their hearty commendation personally to the choir at the close of the service.

A most memorable, Holy Week was crowded with a glorious Easter. And it was the heaviest Easter service in St. Philips' history. It began with a large at-ment, and then a small at-ment, and at 7:30, there was a second celebration just as large as teb first.
Siloam Presbyterian Church
Easter anthems were rendered by the choir, solo parts being sung by Mrs. Efie Stanard Smith, church soloist. The Bible School held Easter exercises at 2 p.m. The junior department of the school had an interesting program and oriented Easter. The Beginners and primary Departments also participated in this Easter service and the singing of Easter hymns was rendered by the entire school.
Newman Memorial Church
The beautiful Sunshine brought large and enthusiastic congregation to welcome Rev. T. W. Cooper on his return as pastor for the fifth consecutive year. A large number of the parents brought the children to the room at the joe at 11 a.m., and this added to the pastor in having so many children to listen to the Easter sermon.
Pastor Cooper preached an inspiring
priest from the text 1 'Cor. 15:3. 'For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, him that Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture, the apostle of Salvation and victory for all those who will believe that Christ died for our sine. And not only that He died but roge again for our justification.
Two children were baptized, and 9 persons were received into full membership. The ceremony of the Lord's Supper was administered to a large number of communicants and every one to be filled with a spirit of worship and praise.
At 1:30 p.m. the Sunday school convened for a short period and at 8 o'clock reassembled for their Easter service. The church was filled with a number of the parents in addition to the regular congregation. The singing and recitations of the children showed the case that had been taken in their training for Mrs. Harrie Harrison and Mrs. Estelle Cooper. On next Sunday evening, April 19, the choir will render a cantata for Easter at 8 o'clock.
Nazarene Cong. Church
Easter crowds packed the church morning and night. At the morning service Dr. H. H. Proctor, pastor spoke on "The Wings of Easter." Depicting the valleys of discouragement, the mountains of trouble and the rivers of sorrow on the highway of life, he showed the best way to overcome them, not by going around; he showed the best way to which required the wings of faith. As the oak was the king of the forest, the eagle the king of birds, so the man of faith was the king of men. The wings of faith were those of prayer and work. By these men could fly to his highest.
At the evening hour there was a grand united Easter service by the choir school and Endeavor Society. Each of the 14 classes of the school co-operation in the program. The music of the school was under the care of J. E. Whitfield, who brought out fine results. S. J. Mayfield is superintendent, and deserves great credit for the fine showing made by the school. One of the features of the evening was the work of "the star" class of young 'men taught by the pastor. This class has social and business features. It brings the young people together and secures jobs for men of the class. A. A. Faggin is president.
Twelve new members were received into fellowship, making 22' received Palm Sunday and Easter. These were received Easter: Mr. and Mrs. William Freeman, 405 Herkimer street; Miss Hazel Marshall, 35 Marion street; Orin M.

Hits By Prior and Scales Bring Lincoln Giants Double Winning In Sunday Games
A three-hit hit by Pryor and a single by George Scales gave the Lincoln Giants a 4-3 victory over the Allentown, Pa. team in the first gain of a double header at the Catholic Protactory Oval on Sunday afternoon, April 12. The splendid pitching of Chauce Hendrix, formerly of the Chicago Clubs and Pittsburgh-Pirates, had caused the game to go into ten innings.
The Lincoln's got off at a good start and had a three run lead up to the sixth inning. Then the visitors got two men on bases and Davin made a home run, tying the score. Evans relieved Hodges for the Lincoln and prevented any further scoring. Both teams fought hard but the colored boys demonstrated their superior strength and fighting spirit.
Allentown, which represents that city in the Pennsylvania Anthuricite League, was so worn out at the end of the first struggle that they were completely outclassed in the other. In the first imining the Lincoln battled around and scored nine runs off Merro. Two more runs were garnered in the fourth when Toni Fail hit a home run. John Taylor Feld the Pennsylvania scoreless, allowing only 5 scattered hits. The day was a good one for home runs, four being made in the two games. Captain Marcel and Tom Gee made the other two Brown filled on at left field in both games for Orville Singer, the Lincoln's regular left fielder who is expected to join the team next week.
JOE WILLIAMS AND OTHER PROMINENT NEW YORK BASEBALL PLAYERS GO TO PITTSBURGH
Joe Williams, veteran pitcher, for several years manager of the Lincoln Giants, left on Easter Monday with three other New York players for Pittsburgh where they joined the Homestead Grays. Accompanying Williams were: Gerard Williams and Cleo Smith, who were given their release from the Lincoln Giants by James J. Keenan last week, and Jules Thomas, formerly of the Royal and Lincoln Giants. Both Gerard Williams and Cleo Smith appeared somewhat out of harmony with the rest of the Lincoln
OMEGA PSI PHI BASKETBALL FIVE HANDS DEFEAT TO ALPHA PHI ALPHAS MONDAY AFT.
Before a wildly enthusiastic crowd, Alpha Phi Alpha team went down to defeat at the hands of the Omega Psi Phi five star basketball team at Renaissance Casino, Monday afternoon, April 13. As many said after the game, "it was just too bad for the folks." The first team to appear was the Alpha team, closely followed by the Omega team. Their respective followers gave many cheers as the teams worked out for a brief period preliminary to the game. The teams took their position, the team was taken armored by Johnson of the Alphas putted to jump center against Sessoms of Omega. The latter had about a foot or more advantage in height over the opposing player.
First blood was drawn by the Omega team which proceeded to jump into the lead. About five minutes after the game had started the onlookers were startled by a spectacular shot by Day, who intercepted an Alpha pass and after some dribbling made a beautiful goal field from the center of the court. Everyone thought that he was going to pass the ball to one of his fellow players, and when he made the shot both the Omega and Alpha rosters went wild.
Renaissance Lasmo was never meant to he a basketball court as the floor was as alippeys as see. More than one player found himself sprawled on the floor as he tried to get away from an opposing player. Another had feature, and one that was to cause grief from both teams, was to cause pain or gather the blood of the basket. They were shaky, and frequently time had to be called to allow the supports to be tightened. When the baskets away as the ball was thrown. These defects were overlooked by the fans who were enjoying the game too much to take these details into consideration.
Foul were called one after the other when the players ran into each other in attempting to get the ball and slid into positions which could not be deemed other than attempts to foul the player. It was it to a fast and slippery game. Attesting to the slipperness, several of the players were seen lumping after the game.
The score at the end of the first half stood Omega 19.1-Alpha 9. Of these points Omega made 14 from field shots and 5 from foul shots. Alpha made 4 points from field shots and 5 from foul shots.
The second half of the game found Alpha determined to overcome the Omega lead; and Omega determined to m-

Morehouse College Defeats S. C. State In Close Game
Orangeburg, S. C. - Morehouse College won a close baseball game against the South Carolina State College here on Friday afternoon, April 10. The game was won by a *home run* Guy Rogers. The final score was 2-1. Hopkins was the twirler for State College and Martin pitched for Morehouse. The latter had a slight advantage, striking out 11 men and allowing only three hits.
Until the last half of the eight timing it looked as though the team would be able to but Hopkins, the first man up, got on base by laying down a bunt. He stole second, was passed to third on a wild throw and then came home for the only run

According to the announcements sent out, the speakers on this occasion are to be Mr. John E. Nail, Mr. John Baptist Ford, and Dr. Hudson J. Oliver. The musical part of the exercises is to be under the direction of Mr. Lucien H.

As one of the membership of this club, we may be pardon for waxing enthusiast, over the coming meeting, but with 2 program of such evenly balanced and happy features it is difficult to refrain from being ardent in our praise. When these forum meetings were first suggested, it was agreed among the officiating members that they would invite to these gatherings persons who would enjoy an hour or so of instructive and cultural entertainment on Sunday afternoons. The objects supplying these features were to be people who are

Attended by all the cermoulies, that might figure in the clinching of a heavyweight championship match, Harry Wills and Chasley Weinert signed articles last week for a fifteen round match at the Folo Grounds, on Monday. Weinert took place in the office of the New York Giants and the show will be for the benefit of the Italian Hospital Fund.
Jimmy DeForest, the new matchmaker for the Folo Grounds A/C, made the match and it is reported that Mickey Walker and Harry Greb wright the other feature bout. Wills is to receive the gross receipts.

This plan was religiously followed in the first meeting, which had the resultant effect of winning over those of the membership who were somewhat opposed in the beginning to these Sunday assemblies. The program that has been arranged for Sunday, April 19, is of exceptional merit. Mr. Nail, pioneer in Harlem real estate, needs no introduction. Suffice it to say, that he is not only a projecting figure in the line of business which he follows, but he is also identified conspicuously with most of the big movements for the elevation and betterment of Gilead. Mr. John Baptist Ford is an outstanding representative of our Pullman trio group.

Mr. Creasy, who has an ambiotic voice which he uses handsomely and effectively in satired air, will assist in rounding out an entertainment that we be worth going far to hear.
Taking it as a whole, the meeting promised to be held in the home of the club, West 136th street, will begin prompt at 4 o'clock and end at 5:30.
The program was an unusual one, including articles that the two Sales Numbers already referred to, other categories that from very old time to the present. Myerbert is "Gio Ugorotto," and Gousnet is "Shanghai international organization personnel, Hageman, Debusty, and Wilson" Burglary's "Octo River," and "Weather by a Diary Boy," were additional numbers.
While Miss Mason has accomplished much, she has not yet attained the height. She has an unusual voice to voice that pleases, because of its golden appeal and because of the definite authority with which the singer uses it. She postates poise and self-control, her tonsquத்துes is correct, and the accuracy of her intervailing work was remembered. But she must be clear when she has done it, she would take place permanently as a first round exposure of the race's artistic ability. She must study and study hard. Her voice was dramatic possibilities, but they were not permitted to come out in the open. The singer has evidently acquired the power of featuring a key tendency to interpretative frenzy, and this leads one to conjecture just what would be the effect upon the audience if all the singer's powers were unfinished in overwhelming flood.
It was an enjoyable evening and both Wilson Leah, the teacher, and Mysa Cory, Wynn Alexander, the accompanist, were called in at the fast to respond to the audience's tribute of appreciation.

Seven first tenors and 14 second tenors, are 12 baritones and seven basson. Under the capable and intelligent Mr. Elkins, this body of singers is being developed into one of the leading musical organizations of the country. Their work is character- eration of attack, delicately shading of tone values, dynamic contrasts, and response to the commands of the conductor.
and in response these sections are sonorous and resonant, while the high voices have a varying clarity and bell-like quality. A number of changes were made to the personnel of the organization since its last appearance, which must have been a disadvantage.

The women had the day and they made it their own.

At the opening of the service after the processional, Pastor Bolden confirmed and received thirteen young people and one minister and doctor, Dr. D. Lewis. Followup: came the order of the Easter service. The music was. The music was very inspiring, to the crowded but reverent overflowing audience. Pastor Bolden preached from the following text: "I am He that liveth and was dead, and behold I am alive forever more. Amen; and have the keys of Hell and of death" Revalation 1:18 Subject: "Jesus the First God-Man to Arise from the Dead." Pastor Bolden said: That the idol Resurrection is real; that the idol who will take time to look around and think about the unfolding of life in various forms, and manifestations, States, states, physical and mental conditions show forth the power and truth of the resurrection idea.
The idea that spirit and personality live and wield power after very thoughtful and useful persons have passed from the human plane of existence is very real. In business, government, in education, religion the hand and wield from the grave of obtain outstanding and disgraceful characters in races, groups, families and nations influence and direct the thought and action of the people of the present day. Their spirit not only seems to arise out of the grave, but lives and becomes very real among those where their existence were, when in human existence. Some women who were and earnest, criticist and religionist, and would have Jesus our Lord the Emanuel, to represent this order of existence in human society. We desire to remind you that the testimony of the witnesses who saw our Lord Jesus the Emanuel and heard his teaching concerning His death and resurrection gives 'The reason of his life quite different from that of any other person in the world of humanity.

They led Him away to Caiaphas, the High Priest. They tell us the manner of His trial, false accusations, the desertion of His apostles, those who claim to love Him so strongly in worship and to death. They tell us of Judas's remorse and suicide. They tell us of Pilate's attempt to meet the Jews' clamor for our Lord's cruel and unwarranted crimes in his bars in place of this man in whom he found no fault at all, and that stood no innocent in the caricature of the King of the Jews, the Saviour of the God, the only beast of Father. They tell us of his convict and of His journey in the midst of howling mobs in colony beneath the heavy cross. They tell us of Simion of Cyrene whom some think to have been black and from Him down, was crushed into service to help our Lord to be sent to the summit, the mount and the place of execution. They tell us of the threes crucified with Him and of the conversation between them and our Lord. They tell us of His last seven words from the pulpit of the cross. They tell us of the phoenomenon that took place in Jerusalem in the cementeries, and the darkness that prevailed when the eternal sun was eclipsed at the moment of His death. They tell us of His burial, His resurrection, their findings in the tomb, where once our Lord laid. They tell us of their personal contact and conversation with Him and certain women after that time, who believed that our Lord Jesus Christ the Saviour had distinct creation and type of the highest order of a good Man. He is the first of His kind to pass through death. And John declares that he saw Him after He had ascended in the

Orchestra
The primary feature in proper foundation and the development of that foundation by capable leaders. To all leaders and conductors I might say: THINK, continually, organize and, when you have, tangible thoughts, impart them to your men: you may not have spontaneous result or reflection, but a well planted thought will develop at some future time. It may may be possible to design a number for induction, but if the thought of doing things greatly and right is the well planted, it will help him diagnose the reason for his dismissal and make him equip himself properly for the knowledge is the only thing you can impart and still retain.
To my mind the orchestras, of our group that are near the pinnacle are Laboy Smith's Orchestra, now playing at Connies Inn, New York; Fletcher Henderson's Orchestra at the Rosenthal, New York; and Sweet Scafé, the Sweet Scafé, Chicago, Ill. This writer happens to be personally acquainted with Mr. Stewart, and permit me to say that Mr. Stewart is a very proficient conductor, having equipped himself under very efficient tuition. Mr. Stewart also has to his credit of being a college student and being a musician. His orchestra is composed of some of the best in the race and in discipline and cooperation would serve as a criterion (or any orchestra. The reason they are not more widely known is that their activities have been more or less confined to the South Side in Chicago, where a greater promotion they should become one of the formest orchestras in the U.S.
MORE POWER TO MR. STEWART.
MR. LEROY SMITH'S ORCHESTRA. I do not know the conductor personally, but from outside observation, they are second to none in efficiency and co-ordination, a beacon of profession and a credit to the race
FLETCHER HENDERSON'S ORCHESTRA. MR. HENDERSON had a hard time trying to make the present organization, but his tenacity and musical equipment has placed him and his orchestra on the desired pedestal. This writer is acquainted with the musicians comprising the orchestra of efficiency they are unsurpassed.
KEEP GOING MR. HENDERSON.
As we have these three orchestras, why not three hundred orchestras of the same calibre?
In conclusion, let me add: Start with and you'll end right; proper foundation is then development of that foundation; efficient machination LEADERS.

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