Mr Smith said this man's services were satisfactory and that the company has under serious consideration at this time the adding of other colored employees to its force. Emphasis was laid by Mr. Smith upon what he declared to be the only basis for a difference in deposits required of applicants, and that at the amount of current considered as the basic average. This requirement, he points out, purely economic and these deposits are returned to customers who establish satisfactory credit by prompt remittances. Following the telephone conversation, Vice President Smith, under date of April 14, wrote a letter to The Age, setting forth and reiterating his declarations, and emphasizing again his assertion that the "company does not discriminate in collection of deposits, or in other matters, as between race, creed or color," and that any seeming discrimination will immediately be corrected Vice President's Letter.

The Board of Trustees of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., met in New York City on Monday, April 9, and voted to accept the resignation of President Fatette A. McKenzie of that institution, to take effect at those of present school year. A temporary administration will run the school until a permanent president is named. It was also voted, as a measure of consideration to allow the retiring president an extra year's pay under the form of granting him a year's vacation. The meeting was held at 3 p. m. in the office of Paul D. Cravath, chairman of board, at 52 Williams street. This action was taken as a result of the turmoil and strife which has prevailed at Fisk University for several months past as a result of the alleged attitude of President McKenzie toward the student body. It was charged by the dissatisfied students that they had been deprived of all initiative and all liberty freedom of action had practically abolished by the present administration. Efforts to secure an amelioration of these conditions were unsuccessful, and culminated finally in a student demonstration on the school campus on the night of February 4, last.

Charged Students With Rioting As a result of this student action, President McKenzie summoned the police and a riot squad reported, breaking in the doors of the boys' dormitory and putting five students under arrest, charged with rioting and meeting to root. Eventually, after the boys had been conquered and placed under suspended sentences, President McKenzie withdrew all charges and asked the court to expunge the entire record, thus giving the students a clean bill of health. But in the meantime the student body as a whole gave expression to its attitude by putting into effect an exodus that took away almost the entire personnel, leaving the classroom practically vacant, being compelled to do so by parents and guardians, or for other reasons, but many of them have either entered other institutions of learning or have stayed out of school altogether pending a settlement of the question as to whether or not President McKenzie would be permitted to remain as the school head. Southern Prejudice Charged It was also charged that McKenzie had permitted himself to come under the influence and control of such First Negro Policeman Named In Yonkers To Be Dinner Guest of Honor Yonkers. N. Y.-The Negro citizens of Yonkers, highly elated over the selection of Thomas Brooks, as the first Negro on the police force of this city, intended to manifest their appreciation of this appointment in the form of a dinner in his honor, at the New Armory, May 15. The worldwide committee of Negro citizens of Yonkers has taken the initiative and will have the cooperation of their fraternal, religious and civic societies. Mayor Wesandenger, Public Safety Commissioner He, Public Works Commissioner Colquhoun, Police Officer Jesse Battle, the first Negro to be appointed on the New York force, representatives of Negro newspapers of New York, Chicago and Pittsburgh will be guests at the occasion. Among the out of two speakers expected are Supreme Court Justice Frank L. Young, Fred M. Wood, Dean of New York University, A. F. French, Dean of New York General, New York State.

Officers who patrol Seventh and Lenox Avenue are in particular advised to watch for them, the street pests, as it is on the two thoroughfares that the gather most and make themselves obnoxious by their fainting and impudent remarks. On Seventh Avenue many of the massters are well-dressed young men of apparent education. They do not care whose wife or daughter they insult, and their conduct has showed them to be absolutely devoid of respect for members of the gentle sex. Favorite hang out are especially on Sunday nights, in front of the Renaissance Theatre, Lafayette and Seventh avenue at S. E. corneille 1339. Another objectionable element against whom complaints have been lodged is made up of boys and men who in conversation use unprintable language, much to the embarrassment and disgust of pedestrians. COMPLAINTS THAT NATH STORE MANAGER INSURE BUT OFFICIALS DISC Following the receipt of serious allegations as to the gers of the Nathan Strauss Lnues, near corner of 189th st and the race in general, The A with officials of the Strauss A telephone conversation was had with Mr Newman, general manager of the main office, 619 Pacific street, Brooklyn and Mr. Newman declared that any evidence of a prejudiced attitude exhibited at this end or any other of their stores was not indicative of the company's real attitude. He declared that the Seventh avenue branch store had been the source of a number of complaints, and that the company had earnestly and seriously tried to remedy these troubles on a fair and just basis. The particular complaints referred to in the letters received comprised the charge that boxes of fish had been received at this branch store marked "For the n——as at 199th St and 7th Ave;" that a colored woman customer had been insulted by the white employees, who attempted familiarities, and that when a colored employee was butcher in the store came to the woman's defense, his disclarement followed, the white man being transferred to another store at 149th street and 3rd avenue. Manager Newman's Statement Following the telephone conversation, General Manager Newman of the Strauss corporation called at the Age office and conferred with Editor Moore on the matter, and ratified his previous statement that his com- pany did not countermeasure in any way, shape, or any manifestation of prejudices based on race. Moore de- lieved also that the colorful man who had been discharged from the A. B. Ajapa, the African medicine man who has been working his roots on Harleigh Negreens for some time and who last winter conducted what he denounced the largest herb medicine store in America, at 2163 Seventh avenue, has vacated his place of business. One patient who bought some of his "Nature's remedies for coughs and cold" which retailed in his store was visiting from $1.50 S5 told his friend that the bottle contained saassafras and horehound teas, so concocted that only those that had taken the homemade horehound and saassafras tea could distinguish the taste. Ajapa is a real African with tribal marks and native characteristics. He was educated in the old world and professes to have attended medical school and travelled in several countries, eventually choosing the U. S. A. as a lucrative field to exploit his acquired knowledge of "faking 'em all, if he could get away with it. He advertised in various publications owned by white people in this country and attempted to employ white agents, but the white salesmen did not produce very large dividends. During the past winter months Ajapa called for colored agents, preferably but not white, but the white salesmen helped him sell the Ajapa is now eking out an existence in his apartment in a side street Seize Alcohol In Fight After a chase of more than a mile and a display of revolvers, two Maplewood, N.

After the conference in The Age office, Mr Newman invited the editor to accompany him on a visit to several of the Straus stores in Harlem and The Bronx, that a more intimate knowledge might be had of the conditions under which the store employees work and of their general treatment of customers. In accordance with this request, Mr Moore stopped in at a number of the stores and it is only care to say that there are many of the closed committal practices as charged against the 2nd avenue store manager. Many colored customers were seen in the various stores visited. Denied Box Marking Mr Newman speaking of the alleged objectionable marking of boxes of fish consigned to the 7th avenue store, declared positively it was impossible that any of the shipping clerks should have so marked the boxes, or that the drivers would have delivered them. He said the drivers would have been afraid to handle a box so marked, and that they would not have received such a box on their trucks. The charges against the manager (Continued on Third Page) Employes Are Not Arrested But Are Perpetually Enjoined From Ever Selling Or Handling Intoxicating Liquors Within The Confines Of The United States Three Lenox avenue drug stores were shown to be camouflaged hooch selling joints by United States Attorney Emory Buckner, and on Thursday, April 16, Federal Judge Thomas D. Thatcher issued padlock injunctions against the places and sent the proprietors, Paul Butrico 60198 Garnal avenue, and Fred Arnold of 6891 Billingly terrace, The Bronx, to spend thirty days in the Essex Co., N. J., jail at Newark. The drug stores are known as the Arc Pharmacy, 380 Lenox avenue; the Holleywood Pharmacy, 477 Lenox avenue, and the Greed Pharmacy, 571½ Lenox avenue. The Holley- 136th St. Given Nude Exhibition By Crazed Drunk Patron of Elk's Rest Comes Out On Street And Raises Sunday Morning Flurry Obsessed by the hooch which he had umbled in the bootlegging joint operated at 109 West 136th street under the guise of an "Elk's Rest," an unidentified man, early Sunday morning last, treated the residents on that block, between Lenox and Seventh avenues, to the spectacle of a man disrobing himself in public, to be seen by all who passed or who looked from their windows. Other men, possibly friends of the man, attempted to reclothe him and get him into an automobile to be taken either home or to some place of retirement. But, crazed by the effects of whatever he had been drinking, the man fought his wouldbe helpers so desperately that nine men were unable to effectually control him. He was put into one auto, but got out. Another was pressed into service, but again the wild man got opt and proceeded to take off the few clothes the men had succeeded in putting back on him. Finally, the attempt to get him away had to be abandoned, and the folks who witnessed the occurrence report that he was finally taken into the basement of the building occupied by the John R McNeill Democratic Club just across the way from the alleged "Elk's Rest." Not a police man was in evidence Peddling Hooch On Street This occurring emphasizes the complaints that are being made by decent residents and house owners on this block. One woman prominent in social service and welfare work in the community was boss Monday morning sweeping off the pavement in front of her leg. Street home, when a white man passing, stopped and tried to sell her some oranges. When she started adignitably to upload him, he mistreated an apology quite quickly. When the watch being him the woman saw him into the basement at 107, the building formerly owned and occupied, as an undertaker's establishment by 11 Adolph Howell, now owned by Dietzel, the notorious hound hound, who wants to buy up all the property on the block that is put on the market. wood was raided a few weeks ago and more than 80 cases of alleged bonded whiskey was seized by federal agents. The owner of the building in which the Holleywood was located saved his property from the padlock injunction by having promptly instituted ejectment proceedings to arrangeable tenants, abrogating the lease. Butrico and Armour pleaded guilty, and their stores were ordered shut for six months. What was alleged to be the central "cutting" plant from which the drug stores received their supplies, was operated in a grocery store at 2452 Arthur avenue, by Salvatore Napalitano, under the name of the Fordham importing Co., and his liquor also shut down six months. It is owned by Butrico and Armour. It was disclosed in the investigation that the two druggists, Butrico and Armour, would draw quarterly on their liquor permits large quantities of rye whiskey and alcohol from the government warehouses. When this liquor was received at the drug stores it was transferred to the "cutter" and the process resulted in the making of three gallons of "cut" stuff out of each gallon of straight whiskey received from the government warehouse. "Cutting" Plant Found The "cutting" plant was found hidden behind a wall in the cellar of the grocery store. And there were also found 325 packages of gin and whiskey, seven barrels of alcohol, ten gallons of wine, with corks, labels and bottles in profusion. To take care of the extra quantities provided through the "cutting" process, the drug stores were provided with secret recesses concealed behind "swinging shelves" containing medicine bottles All of these drug stores catered to cohorted Harlemites almost exclusively. Many complaints have been made against these places, especially the lawyers in the court in closing them up brings a feeling of satisfaction to hundreds of the people who live in their immediate neighborhood. Proprietor Personally Enjoined Besides closing up the places and sending the proprietors to jail, Judge Thacher issued personal injunctions against the proprietors and their employees, restraining them for the rest of their lives from selling or keeping for sale intoxicating liquor anywhere in the United States. The employees so restrained are James Armour, 119 West Kingsbridge road, The Bronx; Carmino Kubano, 2398 Arthur avenue; The Bronx, Samuel Green, 470 Jackson avenue; The Bronx, Joseph Johnson, 2067 Seventh avenue, James Johnson, 36 West 129th street, and James Roberts, West 15th street, and James McKuiker, West 18th street. McKuiker said that all drug stores against which evidence can be obtained will be closed and pathlocked. He calls on legitimate drugsters who have made complaints against the bootlegging pharmacists to help put them out of business by sending their own agents into their places and making purchases on several different occasions and then report the same to the U. S. Attorney's office. The persistence of Harlen's hooch hounds is shown by the fact that when closed in one place they are more than apt to open up somewhere else. The case of Nathan R. Goldraben is in point. Recently, the federal officials padlocked three phones alleged to be owned by Goldraben: 503 and 673 Lenzor, and 2005 Madison avenues. Since then, it has been disclosed that the ownership of 503 was in the name of one Lenzor, and not Goldraben, and this padlock injunction had to be vacated. Lazy revenge at this number last week. A to Goldgraben, his employees and lunchmen are boasting that while the authorities closed up these other places he still is operating five hooch joints. One of them was pointed out as being at 448 Lenox, avenue, which was operated for several years as a drug store by Ien Ben Freeman. It is how fitted up as a "soft drink" emporium, but one of its regular customers informed "that you have the best whiskey in Harston" in this particular place, adding the gratuitous information, "And I can get a drink of it any time of the day for nothing as quick as you can get it by paying." Goldgraben's other places are operating boldly and openly. Another bootlegger operating in Harlem who seems to have a long thrift is Dietzel, who was closed out on Lenox avenue, between 136th and 137th streets, but immediately re-opened at 101st. 136th street, where he has been brazenly doing business ever since. Dietzel, it is allbged, has added 107 on the same street to his chain of hooch joints, and it is reported that he has let it be known that he is in the market for any real estate holding on that block that may be offered. New Place Opened On 136th Street The joint opened at 107 is located in the building formerly owned and occupied by H Adolph Howell, undertaker, and it is next door to the Pullman Porters' Athletic and Social Club at 105. Members of the Pullman organization have registered as a third under-shelved neighbor, but to no effect. The joint has but recently opened. Another alleged hooch joint is located in the basement under the United Gigar Stors Co. branch at 136th street and Lenox avenue. This is at 100 West 136th street, and it is camouflaged as a shoe store. Advised to wear a really self-affirming that will make leather out of a man's stomach instead of leather to protect a man's feet. Another basement hooch joint on this block is run as an alleged club, but anybody who doesn't have the appearance of an officer cah win admission to the back room where all sorts of alcoholic drinks are freely dispensed and where women stand up to the bar and get drunk and freely and in about the same numbers as do the men. Complaints of a similar character are, made against the hoodo empotium at 133rd street and Seventh avenue, formerly known as Papen's. It is charged that frequenteners of this place stand on the outside after imbibing on the inside and insult and interfere with passerbys, making objectionable and vulgar remarks calculated to reach the ears of women and girls as they pass. And it is also alleged that this corner is becoming a kind of hangout for crowds of young girls, some apparently only 12 to 15 years old, who hobnob patrons of the place, and who are pulled around and handled with impunity. In some instances it is reported, the passerbys have heard the men and girls arranging for taxi rides and other means of establishing illicit, contact and association. Fire in the building at northwest corner of 134th street and Seventh avenue disclosed the fact that access to certain parts of the structure, particularly the basement, could only be gained by using axes, sledges, and other tools in battering down locked and barred doors and windows. It is reported that a considerable store of alleged alcoholic liquors, the supply evidently of the hoodh joint operated on the street store floor. List of Hooch Joints MADISON AVE.—2084; 2096.

Negro Church Edifices Too Costly, Says Nail Negro Church Edifices Too Costly, Says Nail (Continued from First Page) churches to erect costly and massive church edifices without having resources beyond such as are offered by the prudential contributions received from the membership and friends. He said that it was a mistake to invest in church structures to be used for church purposes unless first there had been re-created a substantial source of income for the purpose of taking care of the bulk of the overhead expense of running the institution. St. Phillip's P. E. Church in West 1841st street was used by the speaker as an example. It is the only church in Harlem, sald he, that is properly financed and conducted for the operating of a large and expensive church plant. This is made possible, sald he, by that church's million-dollar investment in Harlem realty. The St. Phillip's ministers, according to Mr. Nall, are not burdened by the need of raising large sums of money for the meeting of current expenses; but are able to devote their thought and center their energies on the preaching of the Gospel of Christ. Income Bringing Investments. That this is so, the speaker pointed out, makes possible the meeting of an annual budget of $40,000 to $30,000, even though the contributions from members of the congregation total only from $7,000 to $8,000 each year. The income from the church's realty investments take care of the church expenses without regard to the small yearly contributions of the membership. Other churches in Harlem might profitfully follow the example set by St. Philip's Church, said Mr. Nall, and instead of putting enormous sums of money into church differences, the church might be necessary to the procuring of solid income-producing properties, after which the magnificent structures, which now strain the congregations to the point of suffocation, would be economic possibilities. John Baptist. Ford, himself a Pullman porter, whose common sense point of view and philosophic trend of thought won for him on invitation to address the students of Dartmouth College, which he did with striking success, was the final speaker of the afternoon. His quant philosophies were seasoned with pungent wit, and drove home to his heavera the idiom so forcefully expressed by him, that in rendering service, whatever the sphere of life, the young man must "make good or make room." The keynote of his talk was "Service," and the audience was impressed by the force of his argument, for ferring to counsel plans for Mr. Ford said he would not now talk about them, being reminded of a saying called to his attention by Mrs. Ford, that "A young man tells what he is doing; an old man tells what he has done; a fool tells what he is going to do." James H. Hogans, who writes the "Pullman Porter News" column for The Age, presided as master of ceremonies, and a brief welcome was extended the audience by Mitch Roy-ton, the association, for the president who was out of the city. S. W. Branham and T. Scott served as ushers. Fine Musical Numbers An interesting musical program had been arranged for the occasion by Lucien H. White of The Age, who had secured the services of Miss Lydia E. Masonn pianist; Miss Carrie Yate, contralto; with Mrs. Ma贝贝 White Williams as accompanist; and Benjamin E. Creeasy of the Lafayette abbey church choir, Jersey City, baritone Miss Mason played "The March of the Tin Soldier" as her first number, and the audience was so pleased with the brilliant and clean technique and colorful interpretation that she responded with Cyril Scott's "Leno" and its calm and placid flow was typical contrast to the march. Later on, Miss Mason-played again, this time giving the dainty little Japanese Etude by Boldini, bringing the music to the whisperings of the Geisha girls to the consciousness of her hearers. Miss Yates sang, first, Burleigh's "Sunner, please don't let this harvest pass," and this was done with so farvent a spirit, and with such entrainment appeal that she came back in response to the audience's enthusiastic approval and sang the song which first won for Burleigh the world's recognition—"ejan," poignant in its tale of love's longing Miss Yate's voice, colorful and of unusual timbre, was heard by all of the audience of the speaking she sang again, giving Oley Speaks "Morning" so gayly and attractively as to cause the audience to insist o uchearing more. As a final number she sang that beautiful little song bit, "Love's on the Highway" Mr. Creasy sang effectively and with splendid voice, that fine old song, "The Holy City," with Mr. White playing the accompaniment.

Parker, Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Free and Accepted Masons, Prince Hall, of New York State, was buried at Woodlawn Cametary on Sunday afternoon, April 19, after an impressive funeral parade and service at St. Mark's M. E. Church. The funeral was, in charge of the Mt. Olivet Rose Crox Chapter, No. 3, Scottish Rite Masons, under Janac Wilson, and every fraternal organization of any consequence in New York was represented. The body left the house, St West 139th street, promptly at noon, escorted by the Manhattan Lodge of Elks, No. 45, and the Manhattan Lodge band; the Mt. Olivet Lodge, F. and A. M.; the New York District I.

C., and many other representative citizens. Proceeding west along 159th street to Seventh avenue, the parade went down Seventh avenue as thousands of sorrowful friends looked on. At 115th street the various lodges were taken in automobiles to 60th street and Central Park West, where they again formed and matched through Columbus Circle down Eighth avenue to the church. The floral tributes were so numerous that five automobiles were required to convey them to the grave. They included pieces from the Auditor's Department of the U.S. Custom House, the Detroit Grand Lodge of Masons, the Grand Lodge of the State of Connecticut, the various local fraternal and benevolent organizations and many individuals. The honorary pall bearers were the Grand Lodge, F. and A. M., Prince Hall, of New York State, and the active pall bearers were members of the Ivanceo Commandery. Normal B. Sterrett and Son were the undertakers in charge.

After a heated debate between St Louis and Philadelphia, the meeting for next year was fixed for Philadelphia during Easter week Good Negro Schools In North Carolina Good Negro Schools In North Carolina Raleigh, N. C.—North Carolina which, together with its political subdivisions, has spent approximately $15,000,000 on Negro education during the past four years, including $4,250,000 in 1924, has become a model for British educators James W. C. Dougall, who will become director of Negro education for the British government in Kenya Colony, East Africa, next fall, will arrive in Raleigh shortly to study North Carolina methods. He will spend the remainder of the present school year here in preparation for the work to which he will be assigned. He will be associated with Prof N. C. Newbold, director of the division of Negro education which is maintained as a part of the state department of public instruction. North Carolina's expenditures for Negro education have increased rapidly during the past few years. The state has made large appropriations to the Negro Agricultural and Technical college at Greensboro, and to the four Negro normal schools, for both maintenance and permanent improvements. Professor Newbold has been advised that Teachers' College of Columbia University will, next winter, give a tint course on Negro education and he will accept an invitation to conduct the lecture here. Henry Ford To Use Negro Labor For Rubber Growing 9000 Acres Near Savannah Is Purchased For Experiment For several years manufacturers of automobile tires and other rubber goods have voiced the sentiment that this country should control the raw supply of rubber, as more than 50 per cent of it is used in the United States. During the past year several experiments have been started looking toward the cultivation of rubber in this country or in Africa under supervision of Americans. Some months ago The Age told of the purchase of a large tract of land in Liberia by Harvey S Firestone for the purpose of growing rubber under supervision of his experts. This purchase was made through Solomon Porter Hood, the U.S. Minister to that country and the Liberians hope that it will be the beginning of an era of development of their country by American capitalist. . . . Last week Henry Ford, the world's largest automobile manufacturer and a close friend of Mr. Firestone purchased a tract of 9000 acres near Savannah, the various agricultural experiments. The purchase represents an outlay of over $15,000 and gives Mr. Ford holdings on both sides of the Ogeeche River. It is understood that this is only a part of what the Detroit magnate intends to buy and negotiations are reported under way for other properties in this vicinity. According to a statement by H. G. Lleibold, general secretary to Mr. Ford, the land in Georgia will be used for the purpose of growing rubber if experiments now being conducted are successful. He intimated that the supply of Negro labor in that vicinity was a factor in inducing Mr. Ford to make the purchase. The successful introduction of rubber in Georgia would mark the first time commercial rubber has been obtained outside the tropics. According to the best available statistics Georgia qualities only a semi-tropical country, unable to produce even such tropical fruits as Florida and California. A large number of plants produce rubber but they have not been commercialized because there have been other plants in the tropics lending themselves more readily to exploitation. Until it is known what kind of tree Mr. Ford proposes to introduce in Georgia it would be foolish to speculate upon the chances of success. Much of the Georgia land is cleared, having been used as a rice plantation. This would land itself, immediately to the plantation of whatever rubes areas or plants that might be selected. Other portions of the extensive tract are covered with virgin groves of oak and trees native to the territory. It will be noted to note whether Mr. Ford will treat his Negro employees in the South in the same manner as he has treated Negro mechanics in His Detroit plant Knoxville College Teams Win In 3-Cornered Debate With Talladega-Morehouse Knoxville College Teams Win In 3-Cornered Debate With Talladega-Morehouse Knoxville, Tennessee - Friday night, April 10 marked the addition of another victory to the list of forensic contests in the title of Knoxville College.

NATIÓNAL ETHIOPIAN ART THEATRE SCHOOL TO GIVE SPRING ENTERTAINMENT Plants are being perfected for the annual spring entertainment of the National Ethiopian Art Theatre of which Mrs Anne Wolter is director. The-offair will be given at a local hall the latter part of May and the reports are that it will be the best affair yet given by this organization. The proceeds are to go toward the building fund Mobile, Ala.—A playground for the colored children of this city was dedicated on April 5 in the presence of two thousand people. The city commissioner of parks and playgrounds delivered the principal address. The enterprise was promoted by the local interfaith committee, Richardby and Dr. R. T. Belawu, the white and colored chairman, respectively. Through a member of the committee, the Harton Foundation was asked for a donation to the project and as grant of $2,000 was made by the Foundation, conditioned on the raising of $1,000 locally for equipment and the assistance of an annual appropriation of $200 a year for maintenance. The committee started out to raise these amounts by subscription, but the city authorities being applauded of the offer volunteered to make the $1,000 appropriation and to guarantee the annual maintenance. The playground is well located in a big public school, and will probably be enlarged later to the dimensions of a park. A colored day nursery also has just been opened in Mobile, under the auspices of the interracial committee. A competent nurse has been employed and provisions made for the care of twenty children. The amount necessary for maintenance will be raise by the white and colored people on a fifty-fifty basis. The best people in the city are cooperating in the project. In addition the Interacial-communite has been active in-securing needed improvements and fire protection in col- lorities. The Interacial-communite has shown itself friendly and considerate. Foreign Born Citizens' Alliance Giving Free Lessons In Citizenship Foreign Born Citizens' Alliance Giving Free Lessons In Citizenship Realizing the advantages and benefits to be derived through good citizenship, provided citizens act collectively and intelligently for the good of the community, the Foreign Born Citizens Alliance will continue their classes in citizenship at the Y. M. C. A., building on West 135th street on Friday evening, April 24 at 8:00 p.m. The activities of the Alliance are not confined to assisting men and women to become citizens. Persons experiencing difficulties with their passports, persons having trouble paying taxes, relatives trying to locate relatives, and sometimes persons in prison appeal to the Alliance for assistance and advice. No deserving appeal is ever ignored. One typical case is enough to show the advantages of citizenship to our group, said C. Jackman of the Alliance. A family by the name of Blondell, after having lived in Harlem for almost ten years, returned to their home in Trinidad in 1923, taking with them a daughter who had spent over eight years in the elementary and high schools of this city. This daughter, coming back to New York in March of this year to complete her education, was denied admittance on the ground that she was a non-quota immigrant. Had her parents, for their dollars, left her school, she became citizens during their long stay in this country, their daughter would have been spared the heart reading humiliation and embarrassment of having to give up her ambition for an education, and of having to leave her old schoolmates and childhood friends who went to Ellis Island to welcome her back to New York, because she had been ordered departed. Unknown White Woman Gives $500 To Mount Olivet's New Building Unknown White Woman Gives $500 To Mount Olivet's New Building At last Sundays services, Dr. William P. Hayes, pastor of Mount Olive Baptist Church, 161 West 33rd street, announced that $500 had been given toward the New Church Fund by a white lady whose name he was not at liberty to divulge. He announced that this donation had been seized through the efforts of Mrs. Susan Strickland, one of Mount Olivet's members. In commenting on the progress of the campaign to date, Dr. Hayes said: "Too much praise cannot be given the loyal members and friends of Mt Olivet to the manner in which they have responded to the appeals for funds for our new church. "Contributions and pledges varying in amounts from $15, to $500, have been given, and are still being taken. One interesting feature of the campaign is that friends from a far are sending in donations. I feel very happy over the results of our campaign to date." WARNING! The Age warns all persons who take out accident policies not to be misled by the promises made by some agents. These agents tell colored people that such policies carry benefits for skinness and death, they do not specify accidents only because people are exposed to bad policies of this kind and are fooled into taking them. Accident policies only benefit you in event of an accident, don't be misled any longer. Full Masonic Funeral Services Held For Late David W. Parker Rev. J. W.

King, 19 East 127th wrote a shocking story of condi- tion at Welfare Island prison and of the suffering of women prisoners who did not please the doctors, and prevented in the city hospital there.

Mr. King states that the trouble he was in operation and refused be- cause he was not ailing in any way he did not consent to an opera- tion on harsh words were between Miss Christie, the attendance, and herself.

A representative of The Age accordingly called upon Mrs. Carter, the oman referred to, at her place of business, a restaurant at 155 West 159th street, just a door or two from the avenue. Mrs. Carter declared that the oman referred to, that she had been a patron of the store, in question, purchasing largely for the use of her restaurant; that on the occasion referred to, she was occupied by Morris Weiner, who was employed at that time as manager, or cashier, or some other position of responsibility, and that he attempted undue and unwarranted familiarities. Protected By: Colored Man Mrs. Carter states that she indignantly repelled the white man's advances and that he became angry and attempted to strike her. Then the colored butcher employed in the store, whom she referred to as "Lee," and whose address is given as 174 West 136th street, came to her assistance, she asserts, and defended her from the alleged attempted assault. West 136th street, that other allegations of a similar nature have been made by other women against this same man, but none of them have been verified by this paper. "Lee," was seen, and he confirmed the statement made by Mrs. Carter. He also testified that the charges concerning the manner in which boxes of fish received at the 7th avenue store had been marked were actual facts. He said further that this happened not once, but several times, and that when the man he had personally telephoned the main office, protesting against it and declaring that he would not work for the firm unless this practice was stopped: "Lee" denied that he had expressed regret at having acted hastily, or that he would be willing to return to the firm's employ, as had been remarked by one of the present employees of the 7th avenue store. On the contrary, said Lee, he had apparently said Lee, who had applied employment in the store following "Lee's" discharge, as being nutrue to his race in being willing to work for a firm that would not protect its colored customers Will Employ Good Man In alluding to these charges and the conditions which are alleged to have existed at this store, Mr. Newman said the company had not been able to find a man big enough or strong enough, in an executive or administrative capacity, to handle the problems arising in connection with he operation of this store. In fact, said he, the company's present employees were not willing to accept the management of this store. One man who had been ordered to report at the 7th avenue store and take charge as manager, developed a stomach ache and went home instead. It has been suggested that a solution of this might be found in the employment of a capable and efficient colored man. Most of the men sent to this store heretofore have been of Jewish extraction. Mr. Newman volunteered the suggestion that they were willing to do anything possible to meet the desires of the patrons of the 7th avenue store, and offered to employ as its manager any man of suitable ability and capacity who might be named I. The-Age. He also agreed to all colored men at this store if they can be found. Morgan will be found on another page of this issue. Rev. J. Francis Robinson Was At The Cannon Funeral Rev. J.

Rosenwald Divides $10,000 Among Teachers As Gift From Self and Wife Tinkerbee, Intrigue. Alas. During the ninth annual celebration of Foonders' Day, one of the features coming at the close of the part of the program allotted to the alumn exercise was an address by Alex Juliuskowald of J.M. Michael, principal of the Hill Street High School, Ashville, N.C., who reviewed thirty-three years of his work as teacher and related how he is putting into practice the lessons learned at Tinkerbee. Mrs. Rosenwald: spoke: briefly of her annual visit to the Institute for the past fifteen years and, declared, that each year she could see indications of progress, in the work of the school and in the appearance of the students. In she would hold the office specifically of their appearance and manner of going about their work. Sunday Morning The sermon Sunday morning was preached by Dr. Aaron Phelps Stokes. He urged the students to have faith in God; faith in themselves; faith in their fellowman and faith in the coming of the kingdom of God, on earth. The music, the conduct of the students, the appearance of the campus, the demonstration of the training received here, came in for praise when the trustees and visitors made a series of short speeches at the regular Sunday evening services. Dr. Rush Rhees, president of Rochester University spoke first. He took his theme from the spiritual Walk Jerusalem to John, the diacon of which had preceded his talk, declaring that Trakeges was teaching, more priely-than any other institution in this country how to, "Walk in Jerusalem." He named four factors that he found evident here and to his mind eloquent of learning to "Walk Like John." "Your business both in the class-room and in the laboratory, the happiness on all your faces, your splendid spiritual outlook, and your possession of knowledge of why you are doing the things that you are doing, as shown by your demonstrations here last night, are forceful testimonials of your preparing your students. All of this, he said."*Education can be defined as teaching how to be 'burdens. Tuskegee is doing just that—and successfully.* Charles E. Mason of Boston, who spoke, advised the students to follow Dr. Washington in the selecting of what they wanted to do and the going ahead doing it. "Dr. Washington, he said, 'knew where he wanted to go and he went. The best things are accomplished only in this way.'" Offering congratulations from Howard University and the National Medical Association, C. and H. Washington of Washington, C. and H. University's tristate board spoke of the splendid showing made by Hampton and Tuskegee graduates throughout the United States. Follow Founder's Example He urged the students to follow the example of the founder and to strive for the same success that former graduates here are attaining. After thanking Dr. Moton for his conspicuous gervie to his race and to the nation and complimenting the military training Tuskegee gives boy students, Colonel Edward Charles, W. C. C. Under-secteur of the Treasury, declared that common sense is being taught and practiced here more than in any other institution in America which he had visited. Horace D. Taft, brother of Chief-Justice Taft, who was paying his first visit to Tuskegee said that though he had for a number of years worked for Tuskegee, he had no idea of the inspiration and the marvel of the work being done. He told the students he had asked hundreds of northerners could come down and see the work go on, as he had. Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville, Tennessee—who represented the National Medical Association, spoke, advising the young people as to how and why they should live long. "Purpose," he declared, "is the recipe for long life. Definite intelligent purpose is a tonic you must have to succeed William G. Willcox who in succeeding her husband, the late William G. Willcox, is the first woman member of the board of trustees, thanked the girls and all Tuskegee for the courtesies and pleasantnesses of the trustees' visit here. Morton D. Hull, congressman from Illinois, brought greetings from his state, and Mrs. Maud Henderson of the Inter-racial Commission told of the high esteem in which Tuskegee is held in South. After a rendition of several special numbers, from the chair the services were closed with brief remarks from Dr. Anson Philps Stokes and Dr. William Jay Schieffelin Principal and Mrs. Moton Entertain. On Sunday evening, 'April 5, after the chapel exercises the members of the executive council and their wives met the trustees and their friends at the residence of Principal and Mrs Moton. After a few numbers by the quartet with Captain Neely, Mrs Rosenwald announced that she had asked Mrs. Washington to say a few words and that Mrs Moton had consented to recite. Mrs Moton was in a remembrance mood as she also attended a formal of stifling incidents in the early history of Tuskegee Institute was most interesting and impressive. Mrs Moton recited a number of Dumur's poems and the assembled friends listened with rapt attention as she interpreted the deep philosophy for Gifts To Pew Fund Mother Zion Church Rev. J. W.

Women In Current Topics Edited by Maybelle McAdoo Tragedy Of The Colored Girl In Court Suffers As The Girl of no Other Race by Lack of Interest of —Her Own People By GRACE P. CAMPBELL SECOND ARTICLE The number of colored women and girls convicted of proposition, "Violation of the Tenement House Law", etc., is relatively larger than white; but, when it is considered that the colored woman, and especially, young colored girls, are less protected, group, this can be understood. There are fewer, protective homes for them before they fall. No woman's hotel, or public lodging places under social supervision where the lone girl or woman may live at a moderate rate. The Weight of Economic Pressure The average colored woman's wage is less than that of the white; there is but small-or no margin to cover periods of unemployment or sickness. While the economic problem cannot be looked upon as the sole factor in the question of prostitution among colored girls, or indeed any girls, yet it must be faced as a prime factor in their fall. Especially is this true when the standard and cost of living is understood and duly considered. Moreover, even the most law abiding citizens who look closely into the matters of arrests among colored women must and that maily are unwarranted. In the case of investigations the investigator frequently will see doors of private apartments marred and broken and is told by other tenants that these marks were the results of arresting officers entering private homes by force and without a warrant When the accused colored woman, or girl is, brought into court, if convicted, as she generally is, her chances of escape from a workhouse sentence is less than that of the white offender, for as stated in Chapter 8, in "A Study of Women Delinquent," by Mable R. Fernald, Mary S. Hayes and Amelia Dawley, referring to the very high percentage of colored women in the workhouse, it is said "The probation group has a small percentage of colored because of meager facilities for the colored girls on probation." Dahl, the most prominent colored girls are considered for probation stead of an institutional sentence because of the difficulty of locking after them with an inadequate staff of probation officers." Is this another way of stating that white probation officers do not care to give close probationary care to colored girls and women? or, Do they in some way feel themselves unit to cope with the task? If this be true, there should certainly be colored probation officers in the Women's Court, and experienced colored social workers placed there by colored people to co-operate with the court in the care of colored girls and women. White women offenders are not infrequently given probation even when second offenders, and if young or particularly fortunate, even though committed, are oftimes sentenced to private institutions which refuse colored girls—as they might have to occupy the same dormitories, or eat at the same table. If the girl is white, and Catholic, she may be sent to the House of the Good Shepherd.

WITH OUR GIRLS unto Him, and roll the stone away from where my blessed Master lay. He arose from the dead and became the first fruit won the dog and the class of 20 of them that slept He lives!

As He 'overcame death hell, and the grave, so may I, with a perfect understanding overcome now (not over yonder). "As I overcome so shall you," said the Master.

The practice of giving short sentences in the workhouse to young colored girls is undoubtedly the cause of the high percentage of colored women in that institution. The degradation of putting unfortunate young colored women in the workhouse with hardened offenders can hardly be over-estimated. The loss of self-respect and vice learned by them are appalling. Even in the workhouse segregation is rife, and that institution known as Grey Clerk, which is a woman's farm colony, is used for white women only, while the colored women are kept in the old fashioned workhouse prison.

Address all letters and make all checked and money orders payable to THE NEW YORK AGE SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1925 LACK OF SELF-APPRECIATION LACK OF SELF-APPRECIATION One of the weaknesses that seems to characterize certain of our racial organizations is a lack of proper self-appreciation. As a rule the less reason that exists for satisfaction with results accomplished, the greater amount of self-satisfaction exhibited by the individual, but in the case of certain welfare organizations that have made a creditable record largely because of racial confidence and racial support, there appears to exist a lack of belief in the capacity of the race to do things for itself. A notable instance of this defect was exhibited in the choosing of judges to make the awards in the literary contest conducted by Opportunity, the excellent magazine published by the National Urban League. Out of the nine judges named for short stories, we find eight white writers and magazine editors and but one colored writer. For poetry, three of the judges are white and but one colored. In the matter of plays, the proportion is the same, the colored judge being described as formerly instructor in Dramatics, Howard University. For essays the judges are apparently all four white. To determine the merit of the personal experience sketches, the secretary of the Urban League is the only colored representative, with two white associates. The aim of this contest, as stated by the organizers, is "to stimulate and foster creative literary effort among Negroes." Yet the organization fathering the enterprise does not appear to have enough confidence in the literary judgment of the race to have selected at least half of the judges from the race itself. This argues a lack of appreciation of what has already been accomplished by the race in a literary way. This tendency to ignore the literary pioneers of race is a species of self-depreciation, which too frequently crops out in our most ambitious efforts In selecting judges for a contest of this kind it would have been both gracious and just to have sought the cooperation of the editors of the colored press, many of whom have proved their competency by the quality and quantity of the papers they have turned out. For instance, there is T. Thomas Fortune, a writer and journalist of nearly half a century, who was editor of half a dozen colored papers, editorial writer on the Evening Sun under Amos J. Cummings, special correspondent on the New York Sun under Charles A. Dana, and the author of several volumes of verse and prose. Then there are editors of the present day of such ability as Robert S. Abbott of the Chicago Defender, Carl Murphy of the Baltimore Afro-American, Washington Rhodes of the Philadelphia Tribune, Robert L. Vann of the Pittsburgh Courrier, J. E. Mitchell of the St. Louis Argus, Joseph Bibb of the Chicago Whip and many others. If authorhip of books was required, Charles W. Chestnut, Ahee Dunbar Nelson, Jessie Fausett and Walter White would be Suadine! In the line of poetry recourse might have been had to the judgment of some of those who have qualified as competent versifiers, such as William Moore of Chicago, a poet, critic and reviewer of many years standing, or W Stanley Braithwaite, an acknowledged authority and anthologist. In the drama no more competent judges could be secured than Jesse A. Shipp, Alex Rogers, and Miller and Lyles. The art of the essay is perhaps a more technical proposition, but the men who are proficient then ability and judgment in building up a brief prose from its modest beginnings to its present respectable position as a vehicle of racial news and opinion, might be trusted in that department of modern literature. When it comes to personal experience sketches, no better judges of real valites could be secured than among the editors and writers of our press. The disposition too frequently manifested by the executives of such national welfare organizations as the Urban League and the Advancement Association to ignore and discount the achievements of the colored press, has become too patent to be allowed to pass without rebuke. If allowed to go further, it would retard the growth and lessen the usefulness of these organizations. This tendency to depreciate the power and ability of colored editors and writers is harmful to the grace in every way. It is well and good to seek lites cooperation of friendly disposed white writers and editors; but the literary workers of the race should not be despised. The factor of self-depreciation which seemingly actuates this ignoring of the race press and its writers by the executives of these associations; if probed to its origin, would probably be analyzed as a natural result of the inferiority complex, inherent in its authors. A more liberal evaluation of the efforts of the race, both in a journalistic and a literary vein, would probably banish this sub-conscious weakness and bring about a better and more wholesome cooperation among all the forces that are working for racial uplift. The support of the race at large is essential to the efficiency of our racial welfare movements. This support can be most effectively secured through the agency of the press and the pulpit. The leaders of national organizations should no longer ignore the value of such cooperation. AN EFFICIENT POSTMASTER J. Kiely who succeeded to the responsibility of postmaster of New York, upon the death of the late E. M. Morgan, is present as a most efficient official. Hailey to the head of the office through whom in the various grades of the service, thoroughly acquainted, with the details of work. He is, moreover, a believer in the dare deal for all employees, regardless of color, and they were quick to respond that he is their friend. This does not mean that laziness or thinking of responsibilities is tolerated for payment. Every employee is expected to his duty faithfully, but he is also not feel that he has an equal chance to the shows fidelity and efficiency. Argues are made against any employee of dereliction of duty, he has to speak slate unless he is prepared to payalty. But at the same time the accession of a fair hearing before an officer who knows the effectiveness of hurt in dealing with his subordinate postmaster Kiely has demonstrated the necessity, not only to give New York a service, but to get the best results in force by fair dealing and humane treatment. FRENCH PEELING FOR HAITI A recent letter from Paris, printed in New York Herald Tribune, referred to a deal made by the League of the Right against the continued occupation of public of Haiti by American marines. Deal was drawn in the form of a deal by Ferdinand Buisson, president of the literary professor at the Sorbonne. League is said to comprise more than hundred thousand members, including some leading figures in France. Its appeal addressed to the premier of the day, request, that he submit it to the League of Nations at Geneva. While there is little possibility of French administration making a serious of the American occupation of Haiti, deal is a significant demonstration of what taken by foreigners of the brutal act of his government in destroying autonomy of the Haitian republic. Despite the fact that a century ago France, through her allies, maintained a somewhat similar descent over the free blacks and mulattoes. Look off the French yoke and won recognition of its independence by the French over thirty years of conflict. In anime slavery had been abolished, Haiti had proved its ability to maintain organized form of government. This appeal, fathered by the French leagues the landing of the United States, by Admiral Caperton, in 1915, was invoked by any motives that can justify intervention of one state in the affairs of another. No American citizen had been nor had any misunderstanding between the two countries. The United States arbitrarily assumed a mandate in sovereignty. The pretext offered to this intervention was that the upstart President Sam and his death and deaths of a mob made it necessary for the marines to restore order. The grip then fastened upon the republic never since been relaxed, although the Senator McCormick of Illinois acted as saying only last year. "The constitution of this martial law in Haiti and the projection of Haitian citizens to the joint joint of United States military courts is democratic and anti-republican," contrary to American ideals. If a United States Senator and a supporter of the Reunion administration felt that way, we be surprised that the French and people feel called to protest against American occupation of Haiti. J. J. Kiely who succeeded to the responsible position of postmaster of New York, upon the death of the late E. M. Morgan, is proving himself a most efficient official. Having risen to the head of the office through working in the various grades of the service, he is thoroughly acquainted with the details of the work. He is, moreover, a believer in the square deal for all employees, regardless of race or color, and they were quick to recognize that he is their friend. This does not mean that laziness or the shirking of responsibilities is tolerated for a moment. Every employee is expected to perform his duty faithfully, but he is also made to feel that he has an equal chance to rise if he shows fidelity and efficiency. If charges are made against any employee because of dereliction of duty, he has to show a clean slate unless he is prepared to pay the penalty. But at the same time the accused is assured of a fair hearing before an official head who knows the effectiveness of human contact in dealing with his subordinates. Postmaster Kiely has demonstrated his efficiency, not only to give New York good postal service, but to get the best results out of his force by fair dealing and humane treatment. FRENCH FEELING FOR HAITI A recent letter from Paris, printed in the New York Herald Tribune, referred to the appeal made by the League of the Rights of Man against the continued occupation of the Republic of Haiti by American marines. This appeal was drawn in the form of a letter signed by Ferdinand Buisson, president and honorary professor at the Sorbonne. The league is said to comprise more than one hundred thousand members, including some of the leading figures in France. Its appeal was addressed to the premier of the day, with the request, that he submit it to the council of the League of Nations at Geneva While there is little possibility of any French administration making a serious issue of the American occupation of Haiti, this appeal is a significant demonstration of the view taken by foreigners of the brutal action of this government in destroying autonomy of the Haitian republic. Despite the fact that over a century ago France, through her colonists, maintained a somewhat similar despotism over the free blacks and mulattoes Haiti shook off the French yoke and won recognition of its independence by the French king after over thirty years of conflict. In the meantime slavery had been abolished and Haiti had proved its ability to maintain an organized form of government. This appeal, fathered by the French league, terms the landing of the United States marines by Admiral Caperton, in 1915, as unprovoked by any motives that can justify the intervention of one state in the affairs of another. No American citizen had been injured nor had any misunderstanding arisen between the two countries. The United States arbitrarily assumed a mandate over a nation that until then had maintained its own sovereignty. The pretext offered to justify this intervention was that the uprising against President Sam and his death at the hands of a mob made it necessary for the landing of the marines to restore order. The grip then fastened upon the republic has never since been relaxed, although the late Senator McCormick of Illinois was quoted as saying only last year, "The continuation of this martial law in Haiti and the subjection of Haitian citizens to the judgment of United States military courts are anti-democratic and anti-republican acts, contrary to American ideals." If a United States Senator and a supporter of the Republic administration felt that way, we must not be surprised that the French and other people feel called to protest against the American occupation of Haiti. MAKING HASTE SLOWLY The Coolidge administration has been not quite two months, since the 44th, when the President being elected the overwhelming vote of his coun- in took up the task of government in right. A number of changes in the t and in the representation of this co- The Coolidge administration has been in office not quite two months, since the 4th of March, when the President being elected by the overwhelming vote of his countrymen took up the task of government in his own right. A number of changes in the cabinet and in the representation of this country abroad have taken place (Secretary Hagius has left the State Department to make room for Mr. Kellogg, and the Attorney General of but a few months' standing has gone, to the Supreme Court, to be succeeded by a Vermont lawyer named John Garibaldi Sargent. The changes of ambassadors to foreign countries have mostly been confined to the promotion of men already in the service, which emphasizes the tendency to make the foreign service a career for the men who engage in it. Many other appointments have been made as a consequence of the changes higher up, but so far as the race is concerned there have been no appointments such as we were given to expect would result from the election of Mr. Coolidge. It may be that the President is making haste slowly, and exercising the caution that characterizes his movements in dealing with knotty problems. There is no doubt that the exclusion policy practiced for eight years under the Democratic administration did much to lower the representation of the Negro in public service. During the short time that Mr. Bryan was at the head of the State Department he virtually eliminated the colored consuls from the service and filled their places with "deserving Democrats." Despite the creditable records made by these consuls who were dropped, none of them was restored to the service under President Harding. In fact, we believe that the only representation we now have in the foreign service is the minister to Liberia and two consuls who escaped removal. The minister to Haiti appointed by President Wilson was withdrawn only two years ago, his functions having been taken over under the American occupation by Brigadier General Russell as American High Commissioner, who dictates the policy of the Haitian government. The only other Presidential appointments made so far were those infilated by President Harding, the recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, a purely local office, a collector of Internal Revenue in New York, and a controller of Customs for New Orleans. These two latter appointments failed of confirmation before the death of President Harding and his successor merely carried out his policy in renewing the nominations. When Mr. Coolidge became a candidate for the Presidency, influential advocates of his cause insisted that his election would demonstrate that he would prove the best friend of the race since the time of Lincoln Discounting the enthusiasm engendered by campaign exigencies. The Age was somewhat impressed by this argument and recommended the support of the Republican ticket to those voters who had weighed up the claims made on all sides. We have not lost faith in the assurances made at that time and we believe that the President will arrive in good season at a fitting recognition of the claims of the race as a constituent factor of the American people and the Republican party. PROSCRIBING THE TUXEDO According to the latest social decree, promulgated by a well known social organization of Harlem, the Tuxedo, or dinner jacket, is no longer to be recognized as fulfilling the requirements of formal evening dress for the male sex. Ever since the war the Tuxedo has been encroaching upon the domain formerly sacred to the swallowtail, until the former had almost won recognition as the national evening suit of the country. This movement was encouraged by many of the men's outfitters, who extolled the advantages of the Tuxedo suit for dining, dancing and the theatre. One of their announcements claimed for the abbreviated jacket "all the elegance of an evening suit with all the case and comfort of a lounge suit." This recommendation was probably the quality that made the dinner jacket so popular a substitute for the regulation evening dress with the average man. It meant a relaxation of the rigidity and general stiffness inseparable from the sallowtail, which required the high standing starched collar and conventional white tie to complete its immaculate dignity. The Tuxedo, on the other hand, was made the pretext for the semi-soft collars and cuffs, and a black tie, which together with its ease and informality, made the wearer feel more at home with himself and less averse to dressing up for formal occasions. But this informality has seemingly gone too far and a reaction has set in, calling for the revival of the swallowtail suit for strictly formal affairs. The edict has gone forth and the social organization referred to saw that it was observed at a recent reception, by requiring the male guests to open their overcoats and show that they were arrayed in the proper garment before they were granted admission. Those hapless devotees of society who have just invested in a "Tux", thinking it may serve as an entry card to all social functions, are to be pitied rather than blamed. The question of what constitutes formal evening dress for men is also threatened with a new complication in the cut of the waistcoat, ordinarily termed vest. If the front opening is shaped in the form of the lgter V. some authorities, one men's wear hold that it best befits the dinner lacker, whereas if the opening of the vest is in the shape of the letter U, it may appropriately be worn with the tailed coat. However, we are told that no far there, we been no ramrod, rule The Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal declares that Minnesota calls both to the summer tourist and the permanent settler. Its claims were set forth as follows: The North Star State attracted wide attention when the eyes of the nation, if not the world, were focused on it at the time of the Dred Scott decision. It was here at Fort Snelling that the fugitive was held pending the infamous decision of Chief Justice Taney which turned him over to the authorities representing the State of Missouri, where he was delivered to his owner. But prior to the Dred Scott affair, as well as subsequent thereto, the fugitive slave found Minnesota sympathetic, and willing to help him across the border to safety in Canada. This great state, rightly termed the "bread and butter state," has thousands of acres of cheap, tillable land with good soil, which should attract the agriculturist of the race. It may mean only a matter of orientation by a change from raising cotton to raising wheat as far south as possible. It means a world of difference in the way of the enjoyment of citizenship with all of its benefits. Here we have in rural districts one of the finest systems of consolidated schools in America. Both races attend these schools in harmony and without injury to either. The University of Minnesota is one of the world's best institutions of learning. The colored student receives the highest grades, and drinks from the font of knowledge back of which stands the sovereignty of the great North Star State. The stranger desiring to better his condition will find a welcome here. In our cities he will find a well ordered condition, under which he may find employment, engage in business or enter upon the practice of a profession. Our race business men and women prosper in proportion to their ability and progressiveness. The conclusion that Minnesota is an inviting place to live and establish a home seems to be well grounded. Major J H Ward who is in charge of Veterans Hospital No. 91, at Turkegee, Ala., recently spoke at a meeting of professional men held under the auspices of the Civic League and the Medical Association of Birmingham. We quote the Birmingham: Reporters' account of the meetings. Dr Ward is one of the highest ranking officers of color in the United States Government today. He has charge of the Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee, which is offered throughout by Negro people. The plant is worth two and a half million dollars. In his address Dr Ward explained the conventions offered at the Veterans Hospital and emphasized the efficiency of the work being done and paid high tribute to the scholarly and scientific men operating at the hospital. It was interesting to hear him tell how the business was dispatched by a corps of Negro workers and how thoroughly the men were convinced of the responsibility upon them. Dr Ward also spoke in complimentary terms of the relation existing between the whites of Tuskegue and the Veteran's Hospital. He stated that he could not expect it to be better. The whites are cordial and are willing to assist in every way possible and are courteous and helpful. He said that he was far hospital. Dr Ward stated that so far he could find the white people were absolutely in accord and he could not be treated better anywhere in the country and that the Government's work is thoroughly in hand and is meeting the requirements of the Veterans Bureau. This is a great contrast to the violent opposition that was manifested when it was first proposed to man this institution with a coloured personnel. The amuseable relations that now preclude a great many of the arguments then raised. In discussing the bid of the Workers Party of America for the support of the Negro, the Seattle Enterprise gave several reasons why it is not likely to prove successful. It said among other things The Workers Party is Communist (Bolthevik), and is allied with the Third International. This party behalves the 'dichotomy' the pro-terroral 'on the rule of the 'merger' as they put it. They believe that the capitalist form of government is wrong and should be destroyed as was done in Russia. There are lots of perks who believe this and who at the same time are in Communities as members of the Community Party. The Workers Party has a good staff task on its hands to convert the colored brother to its way of thinking. In the first place the Negro is a manipulist minded. He loves the fact that despite poverty and the bad nature of being begged for and with white people, he must be the rich people. He sees no fallacy in this argument in his position. He feels that despite the fact that there is no essential connection between the poor white and the wealthy white there is nevertheless some connection between poor Negroes and wealthy whites. In the second place the American Negro is a died in the wool conservative.

In the next place we Negroes are not extremely anxious to become martyrs. We may go to jail, but precious few of us will ever be there for embracing and promoting new political and economic principles. Editor Wilson may be a trifle caustic in his criticism, but his exposition of the facts appears to be essentially correct. Germain has not proved its case sufficiently to appeal to level headed individuals of any race. The frequent appearance of the members of the Ku Klux Klan, in their hoods and gowns, at the services of certain churches in country districts, aroused the following protest from the Red Bank, N. J. Echo; Rev A. E Carroll of Middletown, the man who叫 himiess a minister, is not to be taken seriously. He is a misfit like hundreds of his kind in the Christian ministry and makes more sinners by his spiritual and Christian ignorance than he is possibly able to do good. His Ku Klux meeting of a recent date is evidence not only of his ministerial ignorance but also of his non-conversion and personality, "get all that I can." A preacher is as good as the congregation demands him to be. the congregation is made of the right mettle, colored churches would be free of such unhulled, untrained and unreligious types as Carroll. Whether the responsibility for the Klan gathering at church meetings is always to be ascribed to the preacher, we do not know, but in the case above it is alleged that the pastor invited the Klan to attend. The aims and methods of Ku Kluxan are certainly opposed to any brand of real Christianity. Commending the achievements of one of its progressive citizens as a leader of mechanical art and industry, the Columbia Kecorder Indicator said. Last Sunday a group of Columbia men went to Sumter to inspect and see the achievement of this genius in some Harlem Fish Shop Charged With Race Discrimination Harlem Fish Shop Charged With Race Discrimination Editor of The New York Age: In the week of April 5, 1925, Nathan Strauss, the butcher, second door from 139th street and Seventh avenue, had a box of fish sent there with this inscription, "For the niggers at 139th street and Seventh avenue." And within that same week a colored lady was in the store buying and the cashier insulted her by placing his hands on her in an ungentlemanly way. The common phrase is "fear me!" the cashier it forcefully and he named to strike her the colored butcher employed there; he protected his own against the assault, Nathan Strauss, himself discharged the colored man but transferred the white cashier to another store. For verification of same, this colored butcher says he is open for interview. Address 174 West 136th street Name, James Turner. If we have any red blood in our veins we will resent such treatment. R MORGAN 149 West 110th street Editor of The New York Age: As I am living in this most beautiful part of the city, I have the interest of my people at heart, who are a hundred, a thousand, strong. When someone happens that is against them, I feel my duty to try to do something to prohibit that thing from happening again. This particular case concerns the meat and fish market at 2381 Seventh avenue. It was opened in the fall of 1924 by Nathan Straus. I meet with at Nathan's help. The Negroes flocked them. In two cases Negro employees said to have been fired because they spoke of alleged inferior foodstuff that was put over on their people. Mr Lee, the last Negro clerk who was there, claimed there was a box of fish sent from Brooklyn assigned to 139th street and Seventh avenue for the impsters. When he received this, the cashier of this store, an told, called his boss, Mr Straus, who is at 619 Pacific street, Brooklyn, informed him as to what he said and interceded the fish and, the boss, Mr Straus informed Mr Lee that if any more trouble was caused by his assertions he would be fired. My days later a Mrs Carter, 155 W. 199th street came into the place for the purpose of buying fish. Theerk asumed that he could do or something to this lads that he wanted. He began to fondle her, charged. She presented He stretched to strike her Mr Lee intertwined and again the boss in Brooklyn was pushed. Mr Lee was imputed drowned from the payroll stated above. Then I went into the store and talked with the clerk who answered that there I was not told that M. Strassle and that he would love me to be there that he pleased me to what he pleased for the market and the nuggets couldn't do him of his recent work in the Summer High School program for white girls. This building was turned over to Beacham to play and do the finishing in the auditorium and throughout. To look it out one would think that the pilasters beam across the ceiling dividing the space into squares and other artistic ornamentations were framed, and then plastered but not so. This construction was developed from plaster paris and wroked out the blue print given over by the architect The Sumter, building is simply one of many that stand to the credit of Pean and Calhoun, contractors. Their work is found in North and South Carolina and what they have accomplished is decided credit to them and the group. From the grammar, grades of Old Howard school comes John Beacham without a high school education in more technical, training than possibly any of his contemporaries can have. A man of fine qualities, a constructive mind, a Christian soul and business acumen John Beacham. This recalcit the period, when most of the skilled trades in the South were in the hands of black men. It is possible that with the attention now given to technical training a revival of that period is due upon a higher scale. The when collar' occupations are given way to the more remunerative industrial pursuits as a means of livelihood. Pronouncing the recent increase in pay for postal employees a goddess or our people, the Chicago Whip said. Millions of white men have focused on the postoffice and its allied duties and those for the most part who have engaged themselves there have sought an opportunity at every hand to get their. They said the work was intricate, methodical, monotonous and murky, but most of the black employees have considered their employment by the government as an honor and it has been the means whereby they have received social recognition and standing with their followers. These men have idolized their jobs and the raise in pay that they are getting is going to lighten their hearts and rift some of their clouds. Thousands of us work in the postoffice and Mrs. Leuder, Chicago's postmaster, stated on one occasion that if there has been any discrimination in the Chicago office that it has been in our town, we know that over two thousand are Employed in Chicago and the race in pay, will advance appreciably the economic status of the race. A sad commentary, however, is that the postal rates on mailing newspapers have been raised and the publishers will have to carry more weight, but it will be cheerfully done. The publishers will have to carry the increase in their rates the same as the mailers of circulators and post cards and parcels. Increased pay for employees always means increased costs to the consumer. Yet none of those affected will hegtridge the postal employees they well earned raise in pay. any harm I thanked them for the information and proceeded to write this article. In passing again during the day, one of the clerks hailed me saying that Mr. Strauss wished to talk to me. I informed the clerk there was nothing that I had to say to Mr. Strauss, but would do every amount of work to acquaint people with his true prince. In our power to close any business in this part of the city. They come to this part to do business with the Negro. They bring their inferior products here for distribution. In a number of cases men, women and children go to these shops and order seven pounds of meat and tax for that amount and come out with five. The same thing takes a sugar, meal, flour, vegetables. We fledge these places goods we wake up to and these places cannot exist. The course seems to do anything about it. It is up to us not to patroterize me. I am sure that every intelligent person will agree with me. S. E. GRAIN Christianity and The Race Problem Discussed 4 "Christianity and the Race Problem" by J. H. Oldham.

Dr. Brown also filled the pulpit in the main auditorium at 11 a.m. He used his subtext, "Attainment and Progress." The theme of his discourse was the continued effort in the accomplishment of the work of the members and friends continue to contribute liberally in the interest of the construction of the new committed activity, he declared, as a mutually essential to promote the progress of spiritual growth. Each year the pastor should grow stronger spiritually and has a more frequent communion with the community.

This service is being carried on the auspices of The Altar Guild of which Mrs. Oliver is Chairman. Mt. Calvary Ind, Meth. Church In spite of the inclement weather many came out to attend the services at Mr. Calvary Church last Sunday. At the morning service the pastor spoke on "Tithing," text taken from Mal 3 18. Subtitler "God's Income Tax." It was a very, instructive address and timely. The pastor explained how necary it is far all the churches to return to the old law, which is God's reemblem of supporting His Church. A reference was given from Genesis 4:3-4, showing how the beginning man has holy duty set aside part of his earnings "holy unto the Lord." Serene does not tell us where this idea formulated, but it is clear enough to see that our fore fathers gave back to God the tithe or tenth of their earnings, whether it was of the ground, or of the flock. The only way a church can prosper without the great burden of raising money through its various clubs, and organizations, is for each member to give back as God has prospered them one tenth of his or her earnings. It is an easy plan and can be worked out by all without any financial strain or loss. You would treat the churches of debt in a few years' time. All Christian must have a sense of subordination to the will of God, and loyalty to His church. Let us begin now to set aside one tenth of our earnings, in the cause of futhering the church and kingdom on earth, and "prove He if He will not open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to contain it.

J. The public is cordially invited to attend. The pastor will preach at 8 p. m. Abysinian Baptist Church Despite the rain the multi auditorium was crowded Sunday and Rev. Shepard preached to a fair sized overflow audience. Eighteen persons united with the church at the close of Dr. Powell's sermon. Leon Adger, organist and choirmaster, of the Mt. Calvary Independent Methodist Church, accompanied by a quartet and a solist from his choir, gave a very interesting recital at four o'clock in the afternoon. Prof. Adger rendered seven selections on the organ which were highly appreciated and heartily enclosed by the audience. Both the selections by the quartet and the soprano solo by Mrs. Martie Ideen, of the well-known rectal. The rectal was arranged by Mrs. Anna D, Whitfield, the Abasinian organist. A large number of the members of the Royal Grand Court, Order of Cyrene, accompanied by about 25 Sir Knights, listened to their annual sermon Sunday evening which was delivered by the pastor, Dr. Powell took for his supper the sermon, and especially upon the history of Simon of Cyrene, who was the first to carry the cross for Jesus.

Payker, M; W G. M. of Meons, State of New York. The various houses in Mayson and their allied auxiliary and the 1-8, P. O. E, with which he was affiliated, turned out in large numbers, to pay their last tribute of love and respect to their departed member. The church was packed to the door; several hundred, who were unable to gain admission into the church, stood on the outside during the services. Dinner was served in the Church A glorious day was enjoyed by all who attended the services at the church Sunday. In the morning, Pastor Borden preached from the text: "That I may know film, and the power of his surscription and the fellowship of his surscription being order unto him by order I mean means I might at last until the resurrection of the dead." Philipolon . . . 110. 111. Themes: "Jesus Demonstrates Human Person and Personality After Death." Pastor Bolden said: That the fact of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus, the Emanuel is the most important event in His entire career among us. Christian teachers and leaders stress His life and activity as He moved among the people on the shores of Galilee when He was clothed in a time serving body. They have endeavored to make followers of our Lord, whom they regard as a great religious founder and teacher, similar to other great religious founders and teachers. Hence they would make for the followers of our Lord a program based upon their interpretation of His teachings and its application to their idea of social life. While there may come some very helpful moral and spiritual values in their system of conduct, we can see commercialism, exploitation and hypocrisy also. This spirit of evil manifested itself among the Apostles and followers of our Lord when He was among them in a flesh and blood body. The Apostle Paul, who did not come in contact with our Lord the Jesus the Emmanuel when He was walking upon the earth, stresses what we regard the main feature and true thing that our Lord was given to the world for. For he lays constant emphasis upon the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead. And he endeavors to show the followers of our Lord that their salivation and hope of everlasting life is conditioned upon belief in the truth of His Resurrection. While all of Paul's life this thought running through them, some of them are told that our Lord's Resurrection and Everlasting Life; as the first fruits of them that sleep, as the first born from the dead, and as a type of the everlasting human-divine life given to believers in our Lord, Paul, who was Saul of Tarsus, well learned and schooled in both Judaism and (Roman law, a critic of Jesus' teaching and life, a plenary ambassador, and a high commissioned executioner of the believers and followers' of Our Lord, has an experience, a contact and a knowledge of the Risen and Ascended Lord that so transforms his mind and changes his thinking that he discovers new values so far that to the honor conferred upon him that he said, "We do believe and I count all the things he for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord; for whom I have suffered the lows of all things and do count them as dung that I may win Christ." If we believers to-day live on the resurrection side we will come to the same conclusion as Paul, and we will have the desire that he speaks of in the text: "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead." Jesus our Lord the Emmanuel not only had but has now a bloodless human-dive everlasting body and when He comes to receive un to Himself He will give to all who believe in Him wise living Heavenly Father He will make that human beings must have the truth to, set them free and enter into the kingdom of God and live with our Lord the Emmanuel forever in glory. The Sunday school was opened at the usual hour by the superintendent Rev. William H. Hogans. Literary Society convened at 4:30 p.m. The program was under the auspices of the S. M. and I. Society, William Coleman, master of covenants. Program was as follow: Recorder Miss Mary Bonner; solo, William Townsend; solo, William Coleman; address by Dr. D. D. Lewis, talk by Rev. Bolden Owing to the pastor preaching at Union Baptist Church Sunday evening, the Rev. J. Evans, a Bible teacher of Abyssinian Baptist Church preached to the man assembled. A very inspiring service was delivered. Rev. William H Hogans, assistant pastor, conducted the services. Splendid music was rendered by the choir. On Tuesday evening, the members of the Emmannuel Church gave the play entitled, "The Queen of Shebbs" at Union Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. Sims, pastor. Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church Pastor Strachan, of the Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church, 106-108 West 117th street, spoke last Sunday night on the subject, "The United States Of America." He told his hearers that he believed God had a grand purpose in the founding of this American Republic, but ever since the American birth, the American people have been steering the vessel in an opposite direction from the port from which they were originally born. "We are just as far removed from the realization of the ideals and purposes of our government as the east is from the west," said Pastor Strachan. The speaker went on further to say that "There are fathers on our country laureate and great leaders on our country who are leaders and addressees were made that each individual might know the purpose for which the voyage was to be undertaken. Every one on the vessel was assigned an equal share in the management of the ship, and he was made to understand that the ultimate success of the scheme was contingent upon the full and euphilistic support and cooperation of every local citizen. The adoption of the scheme was the contribution to the unities of civil and religious liberty for all, was FOR DESIGNING AND DRESSMAKING, Inc. ST. MONTGOMERY PLACE, TRENTON, N. J. A Nice Three-Story Brick Building with all improvements for Students Courses completed in Four Weeks Diplomas Given Enroles Stamp for Reply MRS. AGNES L. KEMP, Principal THE material contrast between the structures with which he (Booster T. Washburn) began and the present great, simple and commensal plant in support of his work is evident. He was a man of great energy and encouragement at this time, is it but an imperfect measure of Dr. Washburn's work and achievement. The education and annual turning out of all or three of his students was a great success. He was one of courses he most commensible and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he did and sought to do. His purpose was to radiate from a center, like a flower, to a community that would live ever longer. He was a true advocate for his race, or for any race—WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, Chief Justice United States Supreme Court. Founded by BOOKER T.

Our dogs were thrown wide to refuge. We ambraced the important, the learned, the poor, the sick, the poor, the free; of whatever condition race or creed. Our government was to know no intrigue, pur soil no distinction. Conquest we were to despise, and freedom extend. With eyes open to reason, and eyes closed to passion, we were pledged higher to higher ideals than had been known elsewhere on the top side of the earth. "We modern liberator, have revered the original scheme. The government of the United States has destroyed men's liberties, has taken away their just right to live, has denied the fride pursuit of happiness, and what is a saddler still, she will do it in a larger measure tomorrow than she has done it today." Sileam Presbyterian Church A, goodly sized congregation at the morning hour of worship listened attentively to Rev. George Slippen Stark, pastor, as he impressively gave this message following the steps of our Lord after Easter until Ascension, taking his text from Matt. 28; 16. The pastor preached again at the evening hour, of worship. Mrs. Eric Stagnard Smith, the efficient and popular solicitor of the church, united with the church at the evening hour of worship, and its session at 11.5. The school is preparing for the anniversary day exercises to be held in June. Plans are on the way for a baby contest to be held by the school during the month of May. Beginning with "Tuesday night and continuing the rest of the week a spring carnival will be held in the Parish House. Attractive booths with both useful and fancy items as well as good craft items, will be available at reasonable prices. Every effort is being put forth to make it both a social and financial success. Plans are being completed for the Vesper services to be held beginning the second Sunday in May at which time the Spirituals are to be sung and the heat compositions of our own composers. The Junior Choir is being organized and rhearsalists will soon begin. Much enthusiasm is being manifested in the choir by the young hearty encephalitis of the older group of church to enter into this service of worship by song. Next Sunday morning the choir under the direction of Lucien H. White, organist-director will repeat the Easter cantata. Stevenson's "Easter Eve and Morn." This is the first time in the history of the church has such a service been held at the morning hour of worship. This is the request of persons who heard the cantata at the service of Easter Sunday night. It hoped that a large congregation will be present to enjoy this service of music. The trustees are, completing planes for an every member canvass, thus completing the budget for the fiscal year. At the annual meeting of the congregation the following officers were elected: Board of Elders Samuel K. Boger, Henry Hall; Board of Daecons, Henry Williams; Board of Trustees, James F. Bly, William King, J. E. Saunders, William Wesley. St. Philip's Church, B'klyn All the Low Sunday services were well attended, considering the stormy day. In the morning Rector Boy preached a splendid story to wonderful child in the Psalmist, "Create right heart Oh God, and renew right spirit within me." Supt. Findlay gave his Sunday school a remarkable review of the Easter message, after which the usual third Sunday children's service was held with music by the Junior Choir, Mrs. A. C. Mills at the organ. The program at the Lyceum by the G H. S. candidates was unusually good, which indicated the good work Miss H. Walley is doing to develop character in the future womanhood of parish. The annual Sunday school rolling, under auspices of the Sunday school teachers, was greatly enjoyed and resulted in collecting several dozen eggs for the Home for colored People. All the people are now looking eagerly to the annual Post Lenten Friday, in Labor Lyceum and also to the 26th Birthday of St Philips at the church on May 1. Rector Boyd and all others who have watched the gradual growth of the church rejoice and praise God together as the Church completes her 26th year of useful service in this community.

Church Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor spoke at the morning hour on "Making Easter Perpetual," and held that every Sunday as Easter. The proper observance of Sunday, he held, lay in three points (1) The recognition of the Sabbath at a landmark of history; (2) the observance of Sunday as memorial of the resurrection; (3) the realization of the unseen presence of Christ in the midst of his people in their weekly assemblage. Among the visitors present during this day were Hon. and Mrs. C. Napier, Nashville, Teen; Dr. F. A. Stawart, Nashville, Teen; Prim. T. S. Inborden, Enfield, N. C.; Mia Sophia Goar, Chicago, Ill. Prin. T. S. Inborden was the principal speaker at the evening hour, and told of his work for thirty years in connection with the Brick School at Brickle, N. C., where upon a farm of 1,000 acres he has erected a great school with a community wide influence. Miss Beaz spoke to the young people in their regular monthly social. Dr. Proctor has declined a call from the Mt. Zhan Church, Cleveland, O., unanimously extended him to become life pastor. The young ladies and young gentlemen's classes of the school held a daylight joint social in the church parlor Tuesday evening. The pastor, was a member of the Greater Pisk Committee that went beyond the board of trustees Monday in regard to the situation at Pisk University. Mrs. H. H. Proctor is among who bade Rev. and Mrs. H. C. McDowell farewell on their return to their post in Angola, Africa. The employment bureau of the Men's Class is calling for 200 men for good work at good pay. Dr. Sara Brown of Washington, Dr. C., will speak on health before the young community at 7 o'clock Sunday evening.

Allen Wooldridge, former junior champion, and the youngest player, to receive a national rating, is given fourth place. The rating of J. W. Anderson, the Virginia "treat," at sixth place is worthy of comment, as Anderson, a newcomer in "big time tennis." He also plays with a sleeked unorthodox style. In the women's angles, Miss Tadzora Channels of Chicago, is given first place despite her defeat by Miss Lula Ballard in the Philadelphia open tournament. This defeat was revered when the Chicago crack decisively defeated Miss Ballard in the national tournament. Miss Nellie Nicholson of Baltimore, another player with a freakish style, is third on the list; Miss Dorothy Radliffe of Chicago is fourth.

LINCOLN AND BACHARACH GIANTS TO OPEN SEASON AT THE PROTECTORY OVAI The third season of the Easter Colored Baseball League will open with a double header at the Catholic Protection Oval Sunday afternoon, April 26. The Lincoln Giants, New York's representatives in this League, will have the Bacharach Giants of Atlantic City as their opponents. The Bacharach Giants have in their lineup such well known players as John Henry Lloyd, Dek Lundy, Sidney Bentley and other stars Dave Bronze are for the Lincoln's will take the mound in the first game and John Taylor is scheduled to pitch the other one. Two great games are expected as both teams have championship aspirations. Fighting Bob Lawson Outpoints Mike Conroy Fighting Bob Lawson, the heavyweight from Alabama who made his New York debut by knocking out Kid Norfolk, added another victory to his list, at the Commonwealth Club on Saturday night, April 18. Lawson had an easy time getting the decision over Mike Conroy of Rochester in the feature bout of twelve rounds. He used a right hand to knock his rival's face into a smear before the battle had gone half the distance. He showed superiority in every department of the bout and only Conroy's gameness prevented him from knocked out Lawson weight 185 pounds and Conroy 198. At Lincoln Theatre I most Pascal, the clever movie star of the Dark Swan, certainly got a donation, training when he conceived the idea of having two sisters rival for the love of the same man. One of these girls, Lye, is lovely outside, but made a corruption of egos and selfishness. The other, Cornehla, has a tantalous soul. They both fight for the love of Lewis Bike, who begins by controlling Cornehla, then is captivated by the beauty of Lye, and later rues his deprivation in marrying her. Warner Bros have made this into a picture, with a cast headed by Marie Prevost, Helene Chadwick, Monte Blue, and including Arthur Rankin, Ubhan Tashman, Mary McLaren, Miller Vera Lewis and John Patton. It will play all next week at the Lussoi Theatre, commencing Monday. Mollard Webb, is the director. NOVELTY SPRING DANCE Alpha Physical Culture Club, Inc.

The late J. Leubrite Hill endeavored to fan the amusinger embouchure of his life by presenting his well-known "darkly Followns" S. H. Dudley, Salen Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt were also assiduous in this regard, but the powers that be seemed almost adamantine and the slumber continued. Day begat breaking and the sun of hope once more was seen when Miller and Lyles and "Sissie and Blake," with an entertaining company introduced the popular musical comedy "Shuffle Along." Since the original "Shuffle Along" many attempts have been made by several more or less promising aggregations, but the most seemingly successful ones are Florence Mills, now in Chicago for a second run with, "From Dixie to Broadway Co., Runnin' Wild," headed by Miller and Lyles, as before referred to; the Chocolate Blades and the Laughing Sister Blades and the Laughing but not least, "Seven-Eleven" Company by Howard and Brown and Cook and Smith. "7-11" Co., is a musical comedy fraught with various styles of entertainment. The standing out features may be seen in the dancing of Howard and Brown; the Chinese character work of Sam Cook; the unique comedy portrait of a certain class of superstitious Negro by Speedy Smith; and the whirlwind singing and dancing of a bronze chorus. The company is under the management of Hurtig and Seamon. Jack Goldberg, traveling manager. It is a rather noticeable and encouraging sign when we chronicle it. I set it up at the capacity of Columbia Theatre, 47th street and Broadway, New York City, during the week of April 13th. We say encouraging, because for nearly a quarter of a century, at least, since the time of Sam Tr. Jack Creolgs, no colored show in its entirety has ever been able to enter the Columbia Burlesque Wheel. And, most certainly the first time a colored company has ever played the Columbia Theatre. In appreciation of this season's success so far, and the fact of their triumphant landing on Broadway, Mrs. Goldberg, on Tuesday night, August 14, joined the entire in a gumbo supper at 11 a.m. 8 YM Club Rooms, 424 Lenox avenue. Bob Slater was chef and lived up to his splendid reputation as a purveyor of this palatable dish, from 11 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. Every member enjoyed himself eating and drinking, but with no visible sign of a serious violation of the 18th Amendment, Every thing passed off with a vim and vivacity characteristic of artists who know their stuff. The company's orchestra furtured music which enlivened and livened like the Seventh Eleven Company, and like their predecessors may they make it more possible to day for better bigger and brighter stars of tomorrow.

Hampton, Va.-Edward Hargrove, the Seasiders, pitching ace, in his season's collegiate baseball baseball league, was strong in success. He had the success, late hour the only persons he had to complain were the St. Paul "Tigers," who were presented with an unbecoming coat of whitewash, when the blushing debult limited them to four hits and no runs in a thrilling pitching display. The final count was 4 runs for Hampton and 0 runs for St. Paul. Three "Tigers" fared Hargrove in the opening frame—the first grounded out, the second fanned, and the third popped up. That was all and even at such an early hour joyous yelpings could be heard in bounteous quantities. Wallace immediately demonstrated that such business was a two-men affair and inaugurated the duel. Ansley Whitfield, Gunn gopped to the infield, but George Byrd raided out a single, stole second, and died there, when Wallace forced Johnson to fly out. This was the first inning, and second was the unto it, except when the hit made was a two attack from a "Tiger" bag made by Jones. A St. Paul tall seemed imminent when Jones reached third, but Francis Vosburgh's one hand-running catch of Allison's long fly retired the side. It was in the dast of the third spasm that the first run was scored. Hargrove scored it and later events show that it would have been a winning margin. Hargrove drove a hit through the pitcher's box so fast that Wallace refused to handle it. The visiting stopshot felt likewise and when the smoke cleared away Hargrove was perched on first. He stole second, advanced to third on Ansley's sacrificed hit, and scored when Jefferson, "Tiger" first sacker, overthrew third. Again in the sixth Hampton tailed, Gunn was safe on Allison's error, sent back to second on Byrd's sacrifice hit, Johnson hit safety down "third-base line, but Vosbough fanned, both Gunn and Johnson raced across the plate for runs when Cox's low drive went through short-stort. The final "Seaside" marker came in the following stanza: "Shortly I lambright smashed a sizzler through shortstop, advanced to third by a process of base pfering. But here Wallace came through with his frequently demonstrated skill, smashing Hargrove and Ansel. The midget outfielder scored, however, on acting Captain Gim's clean lick through the infield. The rest was all Hargrove, despite the really nee pitching of Wallace who whiffed exactly eleven men, but was recorded shaky support at intervals. Nine scoreless innings passed with only two base monotony of St. Paul batmen advancing to 10' on the plate and then retreating to the bench. Wallace did not walk a single man. Voorhees Athletes Take Honors at Claflin Meet Voorhees Athletes Take Honors at Claflin Meet Orangeburg, S.

Howard Baseball Nine Invades Tarheel State Losing 2, Winning 1 Washington, D.C. The Howard University university baseball team, liavaged North Carolina where they met three of the best teams of the state, and while they won one game from Livingston College, 14-9 in an easy fashion, the second and third games were lost, by narrow margin. Colored State Normal defeated; the "Bison's" by one run, the final score being 14-10. The third game proved to be a tough game, with the fightin' an uphill battle. Howard lost, a 12 inning game to Durham State Normal, 9-8. Livingston found it hard going, with the "Bison's" after the "Bison's" gathered 10 runs in the first inning, knocking Carter out of the box in the very first innning. Livingston tried hard to hit Downing, Howard's ace pitcher, but had great trouble in doing so every time. Downing was due to the poor diamond. Downing's pitching and the hitting of Captain Baylor and its teammates were the outstanding features of the game. The second game was played on April 11 in Fayetteville, against the State Normal School. The game ended 11-10 after a long drawn out battle. Roy and Long pitched for Howard. On Easter Monday, Howard was received with open arms by Durham State Normal, and every possible hospitality was extended to the team. Durham was a sympathetic and before a crowd of 5000 people, the two teams fought a game never to be forgotten by all who witnesses' it. Durham got away with an early lead scoring 5 runs in the first, innning. Howard fought hard to overcome the 5-point lead, holding Durham scoreless for four innings and getting 4 runs, 2 in the third 2 in the sixth innning, and not until the ninth was Howard able to tie things up. Then Payne, Howard's left fielder with two men on, knocked out a home run tiring the score* From here on for the next three innings both players had in 12th Durham to go and hit two pretty "Texas leaguers" and won a game that contained thrills not to be forgotten. Shades and Stakes' pitching was superb, both pitchers fasting the whole 12 innings. At each place Howard played they found loyal alumni there to back their old Alma-Mater. At Livingstone Dr. Tyson, his wife and baby were there to wear and hold up the Blue and White, while at Fayetteville Misses Cloud, Cloud and Matthiws and Messrs Johnson and Hawkins all teachers at State Normal, did all he could, also Dr. McAllister and his wife, who acted as host to the Howard team. At Durfman, Dr. Curley, Lawyer Andrew Thompson, Mr. Green, and Misses Jones, Carwin, Johnson, Dannell, gave inspiration and fight to the Howard team. Messrs Whitfield, Aitch, Houston, Harper, and the herders, president of the choir, and the allied staff, the great queen squizzun try it or was got a lasting impression of Durham. The following men made up the varsity baseball squad on the trip. A Roy, H Shade, N. Robinson, H. Wharton, Capt Baylor, D. Simpson, J. Cordwell, D. Monroe, P. Bryant, H. Payne, C. Smith E. Dowing, C.

Under the title, "The woman should interest the 'show-offs'," with a photographic illustration depleting her in the kar of manicuring a passenger's finger nails, Mrs. Mabel Briato Flitte, a maid in the Romanian city of Bucharest, in a complimentary article by Ray Long in the May issue of Heatet's International Cosmopolitan Magazine. THIS WOMAN SHOULD INTEREST THE SHOW-OFFS The Twentieth Century. Limited was eaving Chicago. He colored and said, "There, are some. friends of yours in the second, car back Mr. Long. They wanted: to know if you, were on this session, but I didn't tell them you were, because I didn't know whether you'd want to be disturbed." It happened that I did want, to see these men, but if I had been planting an affection of work, as one often does on "that train," she could, have spoiled it all by telling them: "Yes, can you show Mr. Leng; he's in car and so." I appreciated her consideration especially because there's nothing in the world tempts the average person to boast like a good memory, and this woman has one. She never forgets the face of a patron of the Century. Label Fitts is exceptional in many way. She has been maid and manicurist on the Century for eighteen years. She has studied beauty culture, first aid, dietetics, taken courses in character analysis and memory training, and—most important of all—she reads constantly in a magazine or newspaper of the time that develop intelligence and alertness. As a result, she is an interesting, conversationalist. While she did Lloyd George's nails, she talked with him of Lincoln. She and Paderewski had a discussion on music. Jack Dempsey explained the Carpenter fight to her as he weaved Wesley and Taft; D. W. Griffith and George Cohen—in fact most of the celebrities of our time. She can talk intelligently, and does, if one wants her to talk. But she can be silent too. If one is thoughtful or tired, she will complete one's manicure without a word unnecessary to the manicure itself. Which shows tact. Natural tact, it's quality, you don't encounter too often these days a quality which might be copied from this colored woman by a lot of folks who haven't as much justification for showing off as has.

Large Audiences Of White Students Hear Negro Spirituals Sung Peterburg, Va.—The Gice Club of the Virginia Normal and Industrial made a Good Will Tour through the western section of Virginia on April 1-10, stoppee for concerts in Blackstone, Farnaville, Lynchburg Hollins, Roanoke, Emory and Salem. In Blackstone at 6 p.m., the club sang to an audience of 300 appreciative colored people. At 8 p.m. they appeared before an audience at the input of the Blackstone Academy school for boys. The audiences expressed their appreciation, and members of the faculty of the Academy asked that the club arrange to give them a concert of kind each year. At the State Normal College for white women, located in Farmville, the club was received most heartily. The young women showed keen appreciation for each hitherto unrecognized member, most encouraging The following extract from, The Rotunda, the study 'paper of the college, expresses their opinion of the concert.' "What a wonderful concert they gave us tonight. I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Didn't they have marvelous voices?" These and other ex- DEACON JOHNSON'S MUSICAL COLUMN Clef Club Of The City Of New York Is The "Goat" On last Monday evening, Apell i3, E. Gilbert Anderson, our orchestra con- ductor, insisted on your writer, atted- ing the Charleston Concert Bagged for the Al Jibson Cup by the Cief Club of the City of New York at Manhattan Casino. It is a pity that the wonderful advance step taken fifteen years ago by the Master of all Syncoports, James Rebea Europe, in the organizing of the Cief Club of the City of New York, has not as yet struck its steady stride in the right direction. You may or may not indorse, the many reforms that are in practice in the Chel Club of the City of New York, but just the same, the Chel Club of the City of New York is the "goat." Trying to control a profitable business concern under the guise of a membership corporation, termed very recently as a private institution, given as a reason or excuse for not making public the affairs of the organization, with an outrageously high membership fee, obviously to work: hardships and stunt the growth to the advantage of the one who paid five or ten dollars or less for membership. And the very same insiders while voting on resolutions to carge the highest fees, at the same time must be paid eighty and ninety per cent of the gross receipts, when they are sent on a job, or their allegiance to the Chel Club of the City of New York will not stand the test. The officers, all perhaps but one, must work and carry on practically without reward, doing as best they can, pitting whatever time the Club's business require, their services for nothing obtaining their less livelihood in a manner that passes desideration, seems as if it is a well understood fact that the officials and executives are supposed to carry on the very important work of getting business literally for love of the job! It was published recently that the Club in 1924 did $100,000 IN BUSINESS. Whether this amount was gross or net is not understood nor mentioned. However, after fourteen years of existence, and doing $100,000 gross, is very, very small between 200 or 100 members. CONTINUE THE PRACTICE OF MAKING THE CLEF CLUB OF THE CITY OF NEW YOK THE "GOAT!" Mighty Lack a Rose, and Somewhere a Voice is Calling, thrilled us for who we has ceased to love old familiar pieces? We only hope they will favor us again soon." The audience of 350 colored people at the First Baptist Church was thoroughly please with the concert. At Hampden-Sidney, one of the oldest of the Virginia colleges for young men, the reception and appreciation was no less than at Farmville. Dr. Egleton, president of the college, and member of the board of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, from the University, expressed his appreciation for the excellent training the superior training which the young people of the glee club had received under the direction of Miss Anna L. Linder, musical director of the Institute. Dr Jarman, president of the State Normal College at Farmville, highly praised the general work of the Institute and the special training the singers had received. These two leading educators who have known so intimately of the work of Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute have always been its staunch friends and supporters. The audience of students and visitors in the Lynchburg College, a co-educational college for whites, showed a spirit of sympathy from the beginning and before the concert was well under way, gave away loud applause. Here as at all the other places, the Negro Spirituals thrilled the audience. The heads of the music departments of Farmville College, Radford College, and Lynchburg paid high tribute to the folk songs. "Keep them alive always; they are the only original American music," said the director at Farmville, a woman of superior musical training. Hollini's Woman's College and Radford State Normal College bubbled over with enthusiasm for the concert. "It is the best concert that has been given here this year," said an enthusiastic young woman o the Radford college. The most appreciative audience was at Roanoke, where 400 people turned to hear the little group of singers. Each member of the group received high praise for his unusual ability to work in perfect harmony with the group. I liked the work of the technique as well as the deep spiritual appeal did not escape the trained cars of many of the listeners. The colored audience at Radford, Blackshurge and Emory and Henry College at Emory, the audience showed a most kindly attitude. In both places the concerts met with hearty appreciation and the group received invitations come again.

Newan Mem. M. E. Church The attendance at Newman Memorial Church on Sunday morning was not as large as usual, owing to the weather, but a goodly number was present to listen to an inspiring sermon perched by the pastor, Rev. I.W. Cooper, from the text Duett 33 25. "Thy shoes shall be iron and brass, and as thy days so shall thy strength be." The Sunday school held a very interesting session at 1 o'clock with an unusually large number of children present At 8 o'clock a large congregation assembled to hear the choir render their Easter cantata entitled "The Day of Resurrection" by J. Lincoln Hall. Rev Göner conducted the service and acted as master of ceremonies.

St. Benedict's Fair There is every reason to hope that the Fair in St. Benedict's Hall 342 344 West 53rd street for the benefit of the Day Nursery in West 132nd street is going to prove a great success, because not only are the colored people upnutt and downtown interested in the enterprise, but catholics from parishers all over the city are coming in crowds. The Lakes of Charity came in a body last Wednesday when about two doeves of the larger children from the nursery were brought by the Sisters to give an entertainment. One of the girls played the piano while the others sang and danced. The Catholic Big Sisters have been coming in groups from the various centers. So it goes on from day to day, old friends return and new ones turning up un- When charging your storage battery remove the yen caps.

Selecting Tubes In selecting vacuum tubes, there are a few points to be taken into consideration. There are different tubes for different uses. Some are used as detectors and some as amplifiers. Best results are obtained when tubes are used where they are called for, i.e., use a detector tube as a detector, and likewise an audio frequency tube as an audio frequency amplifier. Radio frequency tubes should be used expectedly. Some people are clamoring for an extension of time saying it will be impossible to dispose, of all the beautiful articles on the booths by May 2nd. But let no one take a charge on such an extension: while there is great fun and pleasure at the Fair every night, at the same time the ladies and gentlemen in attendance are expending so much energy and nervous force that it would be caused to demand that it would be bigger than May 2nd. The week beginning Monday, April 27, will commence the distribution of the prizes and other articles and consequently there will very likely be great crowds and noise. Any who would wish to avoid these would do well to come in the afternoon for the hall opens at 4 o'clock. Scottish Rite Masons To Meet In N.

Nothing definite was accomplished at this meeting, according to reports given but, and the matter was really held up until Chairman Paul D. Crayath of the board returned to this country from a foreign trip. Chairman Crayath returned a few days ago, and speedy action followed. The joint committee, made up of representatives of the trustees and alumni organization, drew up a memorandum of findings which were presented to the Board of Trustees, meeting on Monday, last in Chairman Crayath's office, the entire personnel of both bodies being present. But when the meeting was admitted to the meeting of the trustees, the resignation of President McKenzie had already been received and accepted. In the light of this action, the Greater Fisk Committee refrained from giving expression to any opinion upon the evidence heard from some thirty witnesses at the Nashville meeting in February. But the committee took occasion to recommend enlargement of student activities in accordance with the contentions of the body, and that, the alumni be given representation on the Board of Trustees. It developed also, that notwithstanding the reputed $1,000,000 fund there was a current deficit of about $100,000. The alumni pledged itself to raise $25,000 toward this deficit before close of present school year, and Paul D. Cravat pledged to cover the alumni gift dollar for dollar up to $25,000. The complete statement handed the Board of Trustees by the Greater Fisk Committee is as follows: MEMORANDUM OF FINDINGS OF THE GREATER FISK COMMITTEE PRESENTED TO THE TRUSTEES OF FISK UNIVERSITY AT THEIR SPRING MEETING.

The entire membership of the com- munity, both the alumni and trustees The committee continued hearings morning, afternoon and evening—February 16th and 17th, hearing not only the president, members of the faculty, students, alumni, but also members of the interested white and colored groups of Nashville and of alumni associations and Pisk Clubs over the country. In all, thirty persons heard, and since that time the committee has very considerable correspondences and resolutions of mass meetings, anding forth the views of individuals other gatherings. ALUMI REPRESENTATION One of the first acts of the committee was to appoint a sub-committee to study the question of alumni representation of the Board of Trustees so that an avenue for keeping the alumni more closely in touch with the problems of the University could be established, both for the spread of information among the alumni and for the informing of the trustees as to alumni connection with Fisk, which in the case of the committee would go far forward increasing the support of the University from the alumni body. Your committee found, from the testimony of witnesses who came before it, a considerable divergence of opinion as to the facts and the conditions to be drawn therefrom, but it should be noted that for a considerable horrid threat to unrest at Fisk University. All parties in deprecating the use of boisterous and unruly methods in presenting grievances and were agreed that law and order must be maintained, the only difference of opinion being as the methods used. Representatives in the university oplinion in Nashville felt that Dr. McKenzie handled the situation wisely and commanded their respect and admiration. Ex-Governor Roberts of Tennessee, who had represented various students and ex-students making claims against the University, felt that Dr. McKenzie had made very mistakes and had been very wisely应对 his action, after these mistakes was made, by the University's counsel, Dr. DeWitt, so that the legal problem had been very well cared for. Lost Confidence Of People Many witnesses testified that Dr. McKenzie had lost the confidence of the colored group both in Nashville, among the alumni, and throughout the country generally, and that as a sequence many students would not be received by RK University. On the other hand, letters had been received from various sources indicating continued confidence and willingness to send students. Some of the witnesses who had voiced their approval of Dr. McKenzie's administration and course of action admitted that it would be difficult to restore the confidence of considerable students. Dr. McKenzie and his administration but thought that it might be done with proper trustee backing. No Race Issue Your committee, after hearing from all the sources available to them are convinced that there is no race issue involved in the present difficulties at Fisk University. It became evident to the committee that the strain upon the health and nervous force President McKenzie had been very severe that he had been forced to act in position of great difficulty and delicacy and that, whether or not his actions had been at all times wise, they had always been sincerely taken and in conformity with devotion to educational ideals as he saw them. He realizes that its function is to employ the position and opportunities before Fisk with a view to advising the Trustees of their opinion as to the methods to be pursued to build up a greater Fisk University, increase its prestige and educational value among the colored people, and to increase the interest in the higher education of the Negro among the white people of our country. Committee Recommends With this in mind your committee presents to the Board of Trustees the following conclusions: FIRST: That, in view of the presentation and acceptance of the resignation of President McKenzie, your committee feels that there is no need for any recommendation from them on this point.

Segregation On Welfare Island and Other City Refuges, To Be Fought Segregation On Welfare Island and Other City Refuges, To Be Fought At meeting of the New York -Urban League Executive Board held Thursday evening, a movement to segregate colored boys on Welfare Island was reported. The Board was unanimous in its opinion that every effort should be made to counteract all tendencies in this direction. The executive secretary was instructed to make inquiry into this matter, and that its warrants, the cooperator of the agencies sought in checking further effort towards segregation. A resolution was adopted placing the League on record as being opposed to the establishment of a separate home for colored convalescents; especially so long as there are homes in New York City that are not used to their full capacity. The Convalescence Council reported that only about 70 per cent of available beds in New York City are in use at the present time, notwithstanding colored patients are barred from practically all convalescent homes. The New York Urban League will continue its efforts to have colored patients admitted to Burke Foundation and other homes. It in the meantime, beginning in 1991, booked a live League on Staten Island, women patients convalescing from non-communicable diseases. A special meeting of the Board was called to confer on ways and means of securing the necessary funds to begin alteration of its present quarters. The financial report showed that $6,000 is still needed to put the buildings in proper shape. The resolution was adopted authorizing the chairman to confer on alteration according to plans submitted by the architect, as soon as $1,500 additional has been secured. Plans are being filed immediately with the Building Department and a concerted effort is begun this week to raise the necessary $1,500. The office was visited Saturday afternoon by a group of students and teachers under the leadership of the Followers, encyclopedia, and were addressed by James H. Hurford, executive secretary on "Harlem's Welfare Problems."

Do away with them and advertise in "Celebrities" In Name Only Cause Washington Heights Court Surprise So far as names go, two of New York's most noted men appeared in Washington Heights Court before Judge Byttenberg on Thursday of last week, but this only applies to the names, for the men themselves, were not there. This apparent paradox is explained, by the fact that the men in the court must charge borne the same name, asorne by the two noted men referred to: "Arthurhiscibane" and, "Heyward Broun" were the men arrested. Both are Negroes. The first named was arrested by "Policeman Emanuel Cline, who told the judge: 'This man in Arthur Brisbane, Your Honor.' He's a good man, but he just can't help. He's a little dough, he goes right out and inhales liquid food. He's a steady worker, but he just can't help drinking. He's been arrested about twenty times." "One day in the pen for Arthur Brisbane," he said the judge. Then the court clerk called the next case: "Heywood Broun!" Brown was employed as an elevator runner at 640 West 139th street, and Mrs.'Ann Dunigan, a tenant at that address, complained that a letter containing $20 had been handed Broun for delivery to her and that she had been sent to nursing. A mail carrier testified that he delivered the letter to Broon, so Judge Ryttenberg held the man in $500 bail for future hearing. Rev. J. W.

IN MEMORIAMS McCOY - In sacred memory of our dearly beloved daughter and sister, Sadie McCoy, who departed this life April 24, 1924. Short and sudden was the call Of our dear Sadie, who was beloved by all; The blow was great, the shock severe; We little thought her death so near; Only those who have lost can tell The pain of parting the dark farewell. You will forgotten Sadie dear. Never will your memory fade. Our fond thoughts will fade. 'Round the grave where you are lad Lovingo MOTHER, FATHER DEAR READERS: I feel it my duty to let the rest of the sinners know how some of these Christian people are always opening the doors of their churches to take us in and don't keep them open. I am instance —My mother, Mrs Clara Dearborn of the oldest members of St John's A. M. F. Meston that lately moved from 317 West 93rd street to 2008 Fifth avenue. She served as president of the Stewardess Board for two years and vice president up until her death. She died Friday morning, April 17, 1925, and her last request was to be buried from her church, which was St John's Church, in house, the Rev. R Dutton, about a half hour before the body was to argue, refused to let the services be held in the church on Sunday. His cause for refusing was that all of his tenants would move if there was a funeral service held their. He knew when he rented the first floor to missionaries, he would open upitions if a funeral service could not be held there he never should have rented the floor to a church. I am her only daughter, (Helen Deas) and a sinner and may God bless Rev Dutton, and I trust that no door will be shut in his face at his death as he did to my dead mother. I am satisfied to know that the world never shuts the door in any one's face and with the help of God I will try to meet mother, as I promised, at the Golden foots. If he shuts a door in a true faithful Christian's face at her death what would he do to us poor sinners. God Help Him.
