Then the bishop is advised that as presiding bishop of the district his failure to take prompt action in the matter of which the church officiary is complaining will lay him liable to the technical charge of "maladministration or "incompetency" since, as presiding bishop the interpretation and entorsement of the law of the church is with you since the presiding elder is not a creature of the conference but a direct appointment at your hand and represents you to the extent that the dictum. Done by my agent done by me must obtain. So that to say that the presiding elder did it and not you, does not free you from responsibility. Charge "Imprudence' To P E The memorial in setting up the charge of Imprudence in Administration against Presiding Elder Thornton charges in two specifications that the presiding elder not only set up a group of people, who were former members in a new church under the same name and in their proximity to the parent church but that he also encouraged them to make claim to the funds of Union Bethel M. M. Church using as a basis for the claim the fact that in 1849 the original church was incorporated under the name of M. M. Bethel Church of Weeksville and that this original designation was never officially changed although an alldastar made by Presiding Elder Dilberton himself says "Yet the church did not any length of time bear that name but in the context had the distinctive name both in the local and in the general church as the Union Bethel M. M. Church." The text in the memorial gives the charge and Specification as follows Charge and SPECIFICATION CHARGE IMPUDENCE in Administration SPECIFICATION: Setting up a group of people who share withdrawals from IMMIGRATION A M I. Church in the same name, IMMIGRATION B M I. Church and those present to the church. The presiding dean annual pleadings arise as the title which our church and has been known for years.

That is by presiding clear of public church about May, 1825 by virtue of an appointment duty charge as the pastor. Every reference held on or about the 26th day of May, 1825. That deposit has been a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church for over thirty-three years, and that adjunct church is so close of the connection. That for the past thirty-three years joint church was known to your deponent to be Union Bethel A. M. E. Church and that twenty-four years past deponent has been closely connected with the said church, making appointments and other matters pertaining to said church which church bears the name, Union Bethel A. M. E. Church for the said period of time. Name Never Questioned. "Deponent says farther that it is his recollection that In the minutes of the General Conference it is recorded: Union Bethel A. M. E Church, the plaintiff in this action. That this is the first time in thirty-three years that any person or persons had ever questioned the name of Union Bethel A. M. E Church. That if the defendants now question that name the act is not in good faith but an attempt to belong the issue, or an attempt on their part to deceive the Court with respect to the name of the church. That although the church was incorporated as the African Methodist Episcopal Bethel Church, Weeksville, in 1892, it did not for any length of time bear that name, but on contrary had the distinctive name, both in the local and in the general church, as Union Bethel A. M. E Church, which deponent avers is the true name of said church, despite what others may say, having due regard to the chartered name, etc. MORGANDE W.

Church, the common name by which we are known by the public, so as to solicit aid from all the public funds for building purposes, to the amount of about $4,000. The group he set up in the same name as our church is souing us in court for this amount, shielding themselves behind the fact that in 1849 Union Bethel A. M. E. Church was incorporated in another name. The purpose of their assuming our name being to obtain the funds deposited therein. It is a fair assumption that he (Thornton) is leading them in this as he has not only set them up in our name, but has designated himself as pastor until such time as he shall place a pastor over them.

Worth Charges Use Of Sticks and Ball Bend Men—Judge Suspends Sentence After a trial lasting three days Magistrate Oberwasser in January marketed Market Marker in Tuesday December berth Mr. Terry Tortella Smith, a lawyer, and Nelle Perry, dancer, guilty of accepting spoons for prostitution and removing a prostitute from the courthouse, acquitted of Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Act, who became interred in the case because it appeared as though the two actresses had been framed up, the judge promised to suspend sentence. But a blood test proved that both were suffering from a contagious disease so they were sent to the hospital instead. The trail also drew the attention of the Society for the Prevention of Crime and the Committee of For teen, two powerful organizations which have as an object of learning of crime in this city. The Society for the Prevention of Crime was interested in the case through Mr. Moore, and it was through Mr. Moore, and its lawyers, Samuel Marriott, and S. Segat, who defended the girls. Both gave liberally of their time and ability without any thought of financial remuneration. Marcus Demogress Police. After all the testimony had been taken, Mr. Marcus made an addressee to the court in which he charged that the evidence in this particular case had been secured by the ase of Abe White, a roomer in the apartment, as a stool pigment. His organization, he said, opposed the procuring of evidence in this manner. He also took occasion to criticise other evils of the police department and the magistrate's court. Specifically Mr. Marcus charged that certain members of the police force worked with bail-bond men and lawyers, and while there was no direct proof, it was generally understood they would change their testimony in cases where the defendant had money enough to "pay off." He also stated that it was an unnecessary interference for the Committee of Fourteen to keep a representative in the court so that representative could use his influence to have every one charged with prostitution convicted. Judge Oberwager replied at length to these charges and requested that any direct evidence to substantiate them, be turned over to him at once. The Judge denied the charge that there was "any fixing" practiced in his court. He also took occasion to make it plain that he had no connection with the Police Department and any criticism of that department should be made to the police authorities. Used Man As "Stool." Miss Smith and Miss Perry were arrested December 5, by Detectives Moran and Gertissen of the Special Service Squad. The officers testified on the stand that a complaint had been made against Miss Smith's apartment and they were sent out to investigate it. Officer Gertissen visited the apartment during Miss Smith's absence on November 21, and what tume made the acquaintance of Abe himself the acquaintance of He ingratiated himself with White by buying gin and visiting a cabaret with him. He then asked White to "fix him up" with a girl. White promised to do this if he would come again the following week. When the officer returned early in the evening of December 5, he stated that he gave White another quart of gin and $1 to go for a girl, who the colored man said he thought would please him. The officer did to return about midnight. He did so few times and the officer charged that she was given $5 to commit an act of prostitution, and that Miss Smith was given $3 for the use of a room. These charges, were emphatically denied by both defendants and their attorney pointed out several contradictions in the policemen's testimony. Testimony was also produced to show the best possible women working in the working class of the arreal. Miss Perry's dancing art making $250 per week Character Witnesses Heard. The following other witnesses testified as to the testimony: Charles P Quander, former secretary of the Black Stuart Record Company, for whom Miss Smith, Smith made records, Bob Slack, author of the Tibertical Archives, and the Colored Boyhood of the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association, Benny Better of the Inseterate Tattler, whose testimony was ruled out. Mrs Fornville, who formerly was landlord for Miss Smith, Dr. C V Collins from whom the Lenz avenue apartment was rented and Dewey Wettinglass, a performer. Despite this testimony the judge he believed the story told by the two police men stating that he was forced to find them guills on the evidence. In rendering the decision he pointed out that Miss Smith testified the made, no re-questioned the policeman's request that she fix him up with Miss Smith other than to say that she was a married woman. He also made much of the fact that Miss Smith was the mother of two children but was not living with her husband and that a man could the apartment with her.

"At the last meeting of our Committee of the Management, the Committee asked that a letter of thanks be sent to you for he splendid publicity which you gave the Branch during the period of our financial effort. We were highly gratified to have the campaign as successful as it was, and we feel that much of our success was due to your splendid cooperation. New York is a great big place, and it is so very hard to let people know the thing that you are attempting to do. By the generous response which we received from the public, we feel that there are many people who are willing to help the Branch and we have received our financial burden if the matter is only brought to their attention. We feel that you helped us reach a great many more people than we could possibly have reached in any, other way. We are sincerely grateful." "We also had one or two interesting letters from people in other sections of the country who were attracted by various phases of the work presented. We are hoping now that our campaign receipts arrive, we will be able to mark $2,000 mark. We are making an effort to do this, since the City has not yet realized its goal of $280,000, and the $5,000 which we went out to get is not one-fourth of the amount which will be needed to make up our Branch budget difference for 1926.

Nail As President Trade & Commerce Ass'n The Association of Trade and Commerce, organized about five years ago by a group of Harlem business men held its annual election of officers Thursday night, December 17. John F. Nail, who had been president of the organization since its founding declined to run for reelection, it is alleged, because the directors failed to approve his plan of changing the club headquarters into a business building with larger offices. The candidates for president were Pope B. Billups, former assemblyman, and George W. Harris, former alderman. Mr. Billups was elected by a large majority The other officers chosen were H Adamol Howell first vice presidents Dr. J. A. Banks, second vice president.

Females, even dollars, are generously dropped into their net-covered pots because of the appeal of the bells. But what is so the charities—worthy in dire need—that do not get the benefit of manly appeals and vicious marketing? Not merely now generally forgotten except by the faithful few who work on their boards of management, or auxiliary committees? Which charity is the Katy Ferguson Home which shelters the friendless unmarried mother and her little babe, brought into the world to face a fate that is veiled by a very uncertain future. A little while ago a visitor to the Katy Ferguson Home talked at length to one of the young mothers, whose case seemed especially sad. "If my home had been as pleasant as this one is, and if everyone there had been as pleasant as this one is, everyone here. I would not have been here." Tears were in her eyes, but through them she smiled and said, "But I am as happy as I can be, for by coming to the Katy Ferguson Home I have learned that there is kindness in the world, also motherly love. That if someone young woman has been recalled, and at this season when everyone is thinking of the happiness, of those held dear, how much brighter would be the holidays if a thought were given to this shelter for the girl who has lost her way, but who is willing to try again, who wants to redeem her life, who wants to care for her baby and is anxious to regain her place in the esteem of her family and friends? The increased expense of living, the enormous prices asked for coal and other necessities, and a depleted creature must be necessary for the Home to seek immediate help. There should not be occasion to compare the generosity shown groups to their social service institution, but the necessity of the charities controlled and conducted by the colored people of New York City are so often forgotten, unction of the public through the mention of the public through the mediance, or some other social event duum of a monster card party, a which gives those who attend the affair a pleasure that exceeds the benefit that the institution for which it is given derives.

They have two club rooms for their special use, with a piano and most useful, a gas stove for the making of candy and other good things. The grenium and swimming pool are neighbors to the club rooms and, on the whole, the location is entirely satisfactory to the girls. During the Christmas season, however, the Girl Reserves have spread all over the building and brought the spirit of Christmas with them. They have hung garlands of green all about and put wreaths in the windows and pretty soon they will set up a stately Christmas tree, gay with tinsel and twinkling lights. The Christmas tree always makes a lovely spot in the lobby and we all enjoy the beauty of it. However, it is most beautiful of the lit-up Christmas trees, with a hundred of them specially planned and who would perhaps, have no Christmas joy if all except for the Girl Reserves, loyal and True! The children are sent to the Charity Organization Society and come for the party and tree on Christmas Eve afternoon. This is New York, it is true, a charmed for rather disagreeable and "some-time" winter weather, but we have Miami and Palm Beach right here in our indoor swimming pool. The water clear, clean and sparkle is kept from 70 to 72 degrees in temperature. A bacteriologist comes in to weekend to test the water. He keeps it pure for Safety First!

HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Following operations open the throat or within the abdomen it is not impossible to find a few cases of pneumonia, but on the whole, patients recover from surgical work without having this disease. When pneumonia develops after operation it is by no means "the fault of the doctors and nurses." Of course, if during the operation there was serious exposure of the patient, or if, when he was returned to his bed in his room, he was allowed to lie with the blanckets thrown off, we might feel that carelessness was the cause of the development of the disease, but this practically never occurs. One of the first lessons, and the last lesson of the nurse, is the exceedingly great care which must be taken of a surgical patient. The doctors first teach that to the nurses. They practice their preachments. It is a fact that ether, and, such necessary anaestheties are somewhat irritating to the lung tissue, and add the lowering of the body's resistance after or during the shock of an operation and the chance for the patient to breathe into his lungs material from his nose and throat, and you have an array of causes for the very few cases of postoperative pneumonia. It has not been demonstrated that chloroform is less irritating than ether, but many people believe this to be true. But if you use chloroform all during a prolonged operation, you always risk heart complications. There is never advantage without some disadvantage in there? Yet what do doctors recommend of the mercurial agencies just because there is a small risk. And I assure you the risk is very small indeed in these days of modern skill and inventions. Out of a series of cases numbering 52,842, only 46 patients developed pneumonia, and most of these recovered from it. Therefore, you can see that the risk of pneumonia is not great after operation.

Measles may attack children of any age. It has been reported in the newborn, but it is most common from one to two years of age. Let an impress upon you that Measles is spread by direct contact with the discharges from the nose and mouth of an individual who has the disease, especially in the spray of the spores and cough. Beware them, that other children slick or well, do not cough at sneezes in your child's face. Caution your child against taking a bite of another child's candy or Measles manifests itself in stages that is we divide the course of the disease in such a way for convenience. The first stage lasts from the time of inflection to the appearance of the fever. This is usually about ten days. Doctors call this the period of incubation. The second stage, or period of invasion, is marked by a rise in temperature. This varies from 102 to 105 and lasts for three or four days. There may be periods when the temperature goes down to normal and you may think you can dispense with your doctor's services but the next day reveals your mistakes. Catarial symptoms appear during this stage too. The eyes become watery, the white of the eye blood shot and the lining of the kid's inflamed. A discharge appears. This may be just white material ("cold") or it may be like pus. The throat becomes sore. There is a cough and perhaps hoarseness. Nose-bleeds and uncommon. The tonsils are swollen and inflamed. The frame may be a tide of the grunt. Then we have the appearance of the characteristic spots which have, been named after Doctor Koplick. Your own doctor will have to recognize these. We want you to remember these facts, namely, YOUR CILD MAY HAVE HAD MEASLES 10 DAYS BEFORE YOUR CILD WAS RUN A BAYER TO FOUR DAYS BEFORE YOUR DOCTOR IS CERTAIN THAT THE CONDITION IS MEASLES. And moreover from what we have said it takes about 14 days before the third stage begins with the ERUMPION. So then if you call your doctor because your child has fever an least give him three days to observe the case it may take that long before sufficient symptoms and signs are present to justify the diagnosis of Measles. We will not describe the eruption or rash or breaking-out. The fourth stage is the period of convalescence which last three or four days. Every child with Measles needs THE CARE OF A DOCTOR! It should be unnecessary to say this. But we have been surprised by the lightness with which the condition is viewed by some mothers especially those of the grand-parent age Measles may be complicated, or followed by (1) absence of the ears, (2) pneumonia (3) disease of the kidneys (4) disturbance of the brain which looks like meningitis or sleeping sickness (5) derangements of the stomach and intestines and (6) TUBERCULOSIS!

He upon our "Vision," calling attention to the conditions under which vision can be had, and then pointed out the things that may be sent when people have vision. Sunday proved to be a day of bad weather—either threatenning or raining through the day, and then pouring rain at night. Yet, despite the conditions of the weather, the people flocked out to the services of St. Paul three times, beheaded attending the Sunday school. The pastor preached in the morning on "The Conception and Birth of Christ," and the chorus rendered sweet Christmas music. The school took place immediately after the morning service, with superintendent C. E. B. Roberts, assisted by Deacon John A. Dougherty, directing, Licentiate James Scott was appointed by the pastor to teach his class, while he sat among the students, Mr. Scott did well, touching upon both of the lessons of the day. Group Merey, of the Missionary Circle, celebrated its first anniversary in the afternoon, by having the pastor preach to them and their guests, and then serving a free collation. The pastor delivered a very strong and helpful message on "Christian Witnesses," which was followed by testimonies, in which the members and visiting friends took the weekly preach to the group undertook to give a Supper, in our judgement, it was more like a Banquet. Sister Roxie Waters, who as the efficient leader of this group, has set a warm pace for all the other groups, and they will have to travel to catch up to hers. Sunday night the pastor delivered another short message on "The Proclamation of the Lord's Death," then gave the hand of fellowship to a number of new members, after which the Lord's supper was observed by a large congregation.

Church On Sunday, December 20, the services in St. Mark's M. E. Church were largely attended throughout the day. The pastor, Dr. John W Robinson, preached an able sermon at the morning service. Text St. Luke 2nd Baptist and 29th Service Themes were in the dawn. In the evening, Rev D. J Price gave a very interesting talk on hymns. Dr Robinson delivered a very forceful sermon at the services of the Young People's Church at 10 a.m. Special Christmas services were rendered in which the young people and teachers part. The special Christmas exercises of the Sunday school were largely attended.

Dr Robinson pulver guest at the evening service in addition to Rev Price were Dr Brannon assistant pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, Ill., Anthony Overton, president of the Douglas-National Bank of Chicago and Dr Savov of the Victory Life Insurance Co. Dinner was served by the Floral Circle. Next Sunday evening, December 27 a Christmas cantata will be rendered by the choir under direction of chaundress E A Jackson First Emmanuel Church A glorious day was enjoyed by all who attended the services at the church Sunday. In the morning Pastor Bolden preached from the following test. And to the angel on the Lord came upon them and the cause of the Lord shown about them and they were one afraid. And the angel said unto them Fear not for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. St Luke 2-9 10 Theme "The Angel's Message to the Shepherds on the Plain" Pastor Bolden said The shepherds who were abiding in the field keeping watch over their flock by night, and leading them into green pastures by day became aware of interest in the God. The fact that the angel on the Lord came down from Heaven and manifested himself to them, announcing the birth of the Child Jesus the Christ, our Lord the Empowered may be considered as Where To Go To Church which spins up into their minds are strengthened and encouraged to remain, therein when they hear or have been told that pretended learned men and people who are atheists and agnostics declare that God in our Heavenly Father, faith in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ the Emmanuel as being able to save us from evil, faith in the Person and Power of the Holy Spirit, is untenable and not truly produces a bad influence and condition among the people. If people are taught to believe there is nothing real except that which comes through their personal experience, or that can only be accounted for on the basis of our present known nature, whole history about Jesus our Lord the Emmanuel can be classed as purious and mythological. But we both believe and know, because of an experience that comes from that belief, that all that is said of our Lord Jesus the Emmanuel is true. And that He not only is but is now the most unique phenomenon in human history, the most vital ever present in human history, the most radiant unseen, uplifting and loving influence in civilization. Because we have not seen and heard angels speak is no reason why we should doubt their existence.

His work must be sustained. The business man whose success is very promoted would be more successful his religious work. It is up to each individual to us his or her influence to make the church better, and this can best be done by our taking celtic everywhere, we go. The prayer room and the classroom are essential and very powerful means of keeping one at for the work. A happy life, one happy church, reveals a peaceful death.

It is wrong to withhold praises from God." He followed with a description of how the angelic choir first started the old Heroes by the shepherds then old Heroes by the whole world reechoed the noise of Jesus down the ages declared Dr. Cullen's birth. This noise has resounded so that now He is the foremost the only man because without Him there is no future peace no future happiness nor any future rest. It is nosed that Jesus is in the house and you your? questioned the pastor. He seeks close communion with you where no man can hinder. At four o'clock Dr. Cullen preached again. This time it was to a larger assembly of ladies on the Eastern Star and the guests. He talked on the personality of women men stating that there were more than the generally supposed three. Rendal Memorial Church But when the fullness of the time was come God sent forth His Son *Gal 4:4* "A shining Christmas theme indeed." This was the subject from which a splendid display was delivered Sunday at the morning service. God is always on time and the speaker asked, not until the world needed a savior, when all other aids and comforts did fail to satisfy the long-awaited human breast did Christ come into the world not to condemn the world but to face and how he brought with Him the true Christmas gift and went to hear His children say, "Christmas Gift, that He might bless this gift of Gifts" "He Saying Grace upon them." The Rev. W. L. Lavison worshipped The Rev. W. W. Lawson worshipped with us at the morning hour. "We heard the voice of the Lord, strong whom shall I send and who will go for me." Then said I here I am I send me "Isaiah B" Theme. "A call for service" was the subject of the evening and was addressed to the wives mothers and daughters of the Coachman's Beneficial League. The sermon was instructive and an admonition to the members of the organization as women and mothers, in that they have a task to perform in the day, to help now just where they are to help the home, to help the community to help the city, to help the state to help the country, to help the world to become better, praised and example and by joining hands with the forces and activities that are seeking to put to flight and graduate the cell with which our vows people are becoming comminated.

George Shippen Stark, pastor, took his text from Matthew 2nd chapter. The discourse was full of beautiful truths as portrayed by the Birth-of Christ. Christ is born every day, every hour by being born in the hearts of man if we read the Bible sympathetically, not literally, we find the meaning of all its mysteries: that it is the Voice of Christ over the voice of the sorpent as to whether we live or die and dwell in heavenly places; that we are made out of the earth, so much of earth in our natures, much of dirt, but also much of divinity in man, much of dust and much of Diety. This is not assumed in language but by faith in the human heart. The mystery of the Birth of Christ is as the Birth of Christ in our hearts. We know Christ by the five Gospels, Matthew Stark, Luke, John and by experience. This is convincing proof that Jesus Christ is born Saviour of the World. His coming brought joy to the world. The following persons united with the church at this service John Wesley Marshall, 387 Classon avenue; Louis Nelson, 334 East 35th street, Brooklyn.

N. J. Newark, N. I.—The last two Sabatha have been full days in the routine and services of the Thirteenth Avenue Presbyterian Church. Besides the regular services on the second Sunday, there was an audience in the evening which taxed the seating capacity of our spacious auditorium. The occasion was the annual memorial service of the Elks of Newark and vicinity. This service is being spoken of as one of the best that the order has had in this city. Dr Ellerson, pastor, delivered the sermon for the occasion on the subject, "The Four Square Life" The discourse was built around the four fundamental principles of Elkdom, namely Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity. The big audience sat spellbound as they listened with rapt attention, while the pastor showed with eloquence and power what life would mean with the splendid principles of this order really inculcated George E. Bates, grand secretary, offered a masterful production in the eulogy, giving a number of interesting facts and figures on the work and progress of the Order. The proficient choir of the church did itself justice in musical program. Besides making donations to the pastor, choir and janitor, the Order contributed $110 to the church. The inclement weather on the 20th, greatly reduced attendance and yet the interest was good throughout the day. The pastor gave the Christmas Message for morning service. The choirs of St. Johns M. I. and 13th Avenue rendered the monthly point-weser service at 4:30 p.m. The music was in the Christmas spirit and was fully worthy of the occasion.

Many great stones have been strewn in our pathway to prevent us from reaching the goal of freedom since Abraham Lincoln unhacked our hands and feet from the balls and thighs of the hellish slave holders, and it is very necessary to start off with the Now Year with a determined effort to get rid of the political slave traders in our own ranks, for there are many. they are Let us start off with the New Year to accomplish our rights as loyal American citizens.

A Voice From Brazil Editor of the Year Please pardon this liberty which, as a journalist of course you will I take it with no selfish motive or private profteering design. It is, by the way, one other step in the effort of doing the public a useful service. We address you for several reasons. Your location, your race patronage, your evident experience and your profession in the center of so much bewildering propagandists of recent years. You must well know that modern progress while owing to the class room directly, it owes much more to the men of practical experience with democratic views who have had to depend very greatly upon Journalism and periodicals for their success. Hence, the editorial position of any regular publication is very similar to that of chairman in a forum. All of our readers and many others have their attention focused upon you because you lead a considerable mass of people in forming their opinions. Then sir, it is honor to you and your paper that we beg this liberty of you New York City has taken the lead of all others in recent years in forcing Negro propaganda upon the attentions of the public and quite pleased we are to note this fact too. We say this for several reasons. But let us be brief, by reminding you that the civilized world has been attracted by the Negro propagandists coming from New York of recent years. Then are many that you have never dreamed of are considering you and your paper as an element of influence at some part of these many ideas. There must talk in the U.S. ever since the early part of the last century about the American Negroes all going back to Africa. Now may we say that it has greatly damaged your interest in the U.S. It was well enough in the time of slavery in those southern states that news and hopes might be entertained by those who could see no other escape for those descendants of Africa. But not so since slavery as an institution has been abolished and the African descendants in most of the states have been recognized as free citizens of the country. Instead of that Back to Africa talk they should be trying to force all of the individual states to recognize their ownership. Now some of them are enough to imagine that of some of the European governments which have control right in Africa should turn over these rights to the U.S. government that is still help them or their race to be understood that European countries such as the U.S. holds over Asia. Puerto Rico and the Philippines.

A few publishing my book, Wilhazers of Califor- nent eight years and Dian Sui, in conversation of the Fullman Porter's Battelle Association conference at the "Washington Avenue Branch of the M." M. C. A. C. in Chicago, two said, saying mara things, that the Fullman Company is the friend of the porters. This is interesting, but not compelling. The true marks of friendship will manifest as one to attempt to do the wishes of another, and also, to meet their needs. First, certainly you will not contend unless you have a very low opinion of the Negro, that the company has done the wishes of met the needs of the Pullman Porters. For it is obvious that the porters wish and need a fair day's pay for a fair day's work, but no reasonable person will maintain that $67.50 a month, or $2.50 a day, perhaps for the longest work day of any worker in America, is a fair day's pay. I think Mr. Carry, that it is perfectly fair to state, in this concession, that the porters have been the local friends of the Pullman Company, because they have made it what it is today. It is their increased productive efficiency which created the only service you sell, which, according to your own report, enabled the company to have the last fiscal year, ending July 31, the most prosperous one of its entire history, earning a gross income of $31,972,749.34. Though the income of the Pullman Company has continuously increased, the wages of the porters have not increased correspondingly. Don't you think that is unfair, Mr. Carry? Surely, you would not hold that a man can maintain a family according to decent American standards of living on $2.25 a day, the lowest wage of all the railroad workers. It may be interesting for you to know that the U. S. Department of Labor sets as a minimum yearly income in order to maintain the average family in a decent American living: $2,082.08. You pay the porters of the Pullman Company $810 a year, or, $1,278 less than a living wage. Does such a miserable wage indicate that the Pullman Company is the friend the porters? Dear sir, the public doesn't think so, nor does the porters. The porters miles a month, nearly 400 hours for $67.50, before they get pay for overtime; whereas, the sleeping car conductors are only required to make 240 hours. All time over this, you pay them as overtime; and they begin on $155 a month for their work. Is not this rank and unjust discrimination. Mr. Carry. Would you want to work nearly 400 hours a month for $67.50? You live on it? Could you keep your wife and children on it. No doubt your cigar bill is more than this, and still you, nor your friends consider yourself extravagant. If you answer that the porters make tips, I ask Do you think that is to tar from the ground, generate oxygenation like a gymnasium. Company to convert the porters into professional caregivers in order to support their wives and children? Would you want to depart upon the charity of the public, for living for you and your family? No! Other group of railroad workers subjected to such an unanticipated as well as demoralizing practice. Besides, Mr. Carey tips are mall and irregular, sadly inadequate to make up the difference between what you pay the porters and a live wage. At that meeting, I said that The Pulitzer Prize is always kept a place for the coveted man. That's very nice. I am sure the writers appreciate that. But they more than a place. They want a living out of the place just as you do, anybody else does. Continuing you said, "I hear talk of a color line. Believe me there is nothing to this color line. Well, believe me Mr. Larry, if you were a colored man you would think there is something to it, if you went down South, or, for that matter, attempted to take advantage of some of the public conveniences in Chicago. You made the interesting observation that you attended a dinner where you sat next to the blackest colored man you ever saw. He was an educated man. No one thought of his color. He talked better than anyone around the table. There is your answer education Now do you believe that this is all to the question Mr. Carry? I am glad to know that you recognized worth there regardless of race or color. That is proper and sound. But do you know Mr. Carry that there are men in the Congress of the United States of America who are not civilized enough to sit behind a colored man? There are secretes! this country where a Negro can't get in a berth on your own Pullman car because of this color line. Moreover Mr. Carry how about the right and privilege of Pullman porters advancing in the Pullman service? Is it not true that a Pullman porter can advance to be a Pullman conductor? Why? Surely they are competent. They have the education you admit that yourself by having them run in charge when they do conductors work but you don't give them conductors pay nor do you even give them the satisfaction of being called a conductor. They are known as in charge porters and receive only $10 additional in wages. Is this taking advantage of your closed brother or harden with his teachings which they do? The master others as you would that they do you want. By compelling a porter to do a conductor work you save $145 every month in 1000 in charge porters you save $14500 every month left for profiting at the expense of your fellowmen. Mr. Carry. If a porter is competent to handle a work according to your philosophy before the Pullman Porter Benefit Association he ought to be promoted to the rank of a conductor, and receive a conductor's pay. But in the Pullman service no hope is held out to the Pullman porter. Once a porter always a porter. Would you, Mr Carry, think a system or corporation was in which confined you to any condition? Don't you know that the Pullman company might in reward a porter with a promotion as it does every other class and care of worker. Do you not know Mr Carry, that you have district supernator and Negro students, will publish college education, cannot become a engineer. In this case do not not treat it if I hurt. I shall be happy to correct it. If I write what is your answer. For I would not think of interpelling you upon identical question. I am reminded also, Mr. Carry, of your expression that you were 'amused to find' Negro who was capable of becoming a blacksmith, that you had not seen one before your shop hired them. To intelligent Negroes, that would be considered as an insult, Mr. Carry. Negroes ward blacksmiths before you, were born. There are more in the South than you can shake a stick at. And not only blacksmiths, but in every possible line of mechanical, educational, scientific and artistic endeavor, they have done their ability. This is far from which ought to be too commonplace to you. Mr. Carry, to need statement. There are Negro doctors of philosophy from the great universities of America and Europe. You also marvelled at Frederick Douglas, a Negro, being able to lecture to a white audience in Europe. Why, Mr. Carry, for your information, there are Negro graduates from Oxford University- in England, England's recognized greatest musical composer, Coleridge Taylor, was a Negro. As to education achievement. The general system of industrial education as established by Booker T. Washington was copied, and adopted by Denmark and other European countries, and the leading white American industrial and agricultural colleges, such as Cornell University. You cited as an evidence of your personal generosity, the story of a porter (largely underserving, size you rated him as a crap shooter) coming to you and borrowing $35 to help him put his wife in a hospital, when she was about to give birth to a little porter. And you felt joyful over an alleged great advance the Negro was making, because this porter was able to get his wife in a hospital to be waited on by his white doctors and nurses. In the first place, Mr. Carry, this was an unhappy illustration; for it would seem to imply that a child of a porter must necessarily become a porter. Which, of course, and needless to say, is not true. Second, you seem to suggest that the Negro, possibly has an inferiority complex which should cause him to feel flattered and highly honored when waited on by a white person. Whereas, it is not the case with intelligent Negroes and should not be the case. In New York, may I say, that Negro patients enter practically all of the big hospitals. Besides, according to you there is no color line, and, hence, Negroes ought to be able to get into any hospital anybody else gets into. But, apparently, you yourself realize that there is a color line. Moreover, Mr. Carry, if you had been paying that porter you befriended, a living wage he would not have been in your charity. Do you know, Mr. Carry, that there are porters who pay twice as much rent a month as you pay them wages? Where do they get the money from? Not from tips, Mr. Carry. The difference is made up by the labor and industry of their wives, who are hairdressers, seamattresses, school teachers or domestic workers. Then porters are compelled to rent their homes into hotel rooms to make ends meet. When they must be compelled to rent our rooms of your home, they are paid to pay your rent and to take our home life when they are forced to tell this home full strangers for gain it is more a wholesome for children. Would you be willing to give your labor a stipulation for nothing Mr. Carry? Well a Pollinator poste leaving New York for Washington 12 30 midnight, reports for duty, at 7 30 p.m. and works five hours for absolutely nothing, since his time does not begin until the train departs. It not that a gross imposition upon a group of men. Don't you think that it is right for every man to receive a reward for every hour of his labor off which someone in the Pollinator Company benefit from the yabor of the power during preparatory time? It is obvious that a car could not leave the station or receive passengers without being made up! He entitled to compensation for this service. May I ask Mr. Carry whether you believe in the principle of equal opportunity, even handed justice, regardless of race, creed, or class of workers in the Pullman service. It so do you think the porters get under your Employee Representation Plan, when your district management acts as prosecutor, jury and judge on a porter who has been recommended for discharge by the very same life and career high that the business world would knowingly commence such an unethical American and unacceptable unreasonable policy. Yet it is a fact Maslima inquire Mr. Carsay whether the policy of putting untrained an experienced Filipinos on the club cars in flagrant violation of your agreement with the porters which recognized the right of security has your sanction and approval. Do you think that a corporation can reasonably expect responsible gents from its workers when it does not live up to its agreement with its workers. Would you think it must for the company' s give an incompetent Filipino, who has never worked a day for the company preference over a Negro Pullman porter who has given probably thirty of the best years of his life to the company. Would you think it fair of some unknown incompetent person were to be brought into the company and given preference over you who have been long years of service in the corporation? It seems to me, also Mr. Carry, that you went out of your way to state that the Negroes were not the equal of the whites, or, in other words (that they are inferior) I don't comment on this further than that I don't claim this. Is that why you won't permit them to rise above a porter?

C.-The charges and complaints filed with the board of trustees of Howard University against President J Stanley Durke by the General Alumni Association were taken up for consideration in detail at a special call meeting held Howard Carnegie Library Building, Howard University, with full attendance of trustees and a strong representation from the Alumni Association present. The session lasted from 9 a. m. to 7. 30 p. m. with a short recess for luncheon, and the Alumni Association was given every opportunity for the discussion of its charges and falling of witnesses in support of its confessions. Trustees Endorse Durkee. At conclusion of the hearing, the board of trustees deliberated upon the testimony and arguments and then adopted a resolution declaring that "none of the charges against President J Stanley Durkee had been sustained by adequate or consumming evidence." It was further declared that the action taken by President Durkee which formed a basis for most of the complaints made by the Alumni Association had been authorized by the board of trustees or by committees appointed by the board, acting under charter of University and by-laws of the trustees. No official statement has been made by President Durkee or any of his staff, but an individual familiar with the workings of the University has stated that the development of the school under Dr Durkee is in itself an answer to the charge that the "spirit of education has departed from Howard." The speaker said that in the last six years there had been gained by Howard twelve Ph D men as against only two or three prior to that time, and twenty-three Masters degrees had been earned as against one previously. Further evidence Howard's educational growth is cited in the acceptance of Howard University Art School in Class A with students going to the graduate schools of America and Europe. And it is said to be an acknowledged fact that more research work was completed last year and published than had been accomplished in forty years past. Text of Resolution The resolutio adopted by the board of trustees continued to follow. "No proof has been brought for ward which in the minds of the trustees proves President Dukke to have been guilty of arbitrary or irregular action in his functions as president of the University. All direct personal charges against him are unsupported by evidence. No abuse I powers as president of the University was proven. His prosecution with the Curry School of Law was approved." Now don't think that we are a bear examination. For a one-time of America's leading capital industry you will admit that he is outwith the money of an organization, that organization it is at a fact Mr. Carry, that the Negro treasurer Mr. Duncan, of the P P B A, can draw $100 out of the treasury without the O K, or Mr. Cummin's the treasurer of the Pullman Company, is not also a fact that the bear is director of the P P B A is the controlling body of the organization.

He has rendered notable services to Howard University's staff and has influenced to the more important institution for the education of youth of the colored rate in the United States. The trustees and President Durkee have always been able to work in harmony for the good of the institution.

Blandford, Ala. and Tr. College, Greenboro, spoke to an appreciative audience on the subject "Why Get A College Education?" During his address, Blandford reflected on the abilities of the college bred Negro. He gave reasoning for belief that college training is essential in business, ministry, medicine, in fact, in all walks of life. "The apacher declared that, "In studying the lives of the people who have been unusually successful in all lines of work, educational experts have found, that the college men and women have contributed a number far out of proportion to their number. Although they constitute one per cent of the population, they have furnished to the nation, 55 per cent of its presidents, 36 per cent of the members of Congress, 47 per cent of the Speakers of the House, 56 per cent of the vice presidents, 62 per cent of the Secretaries of State and 69 per cent of the Justices of the Supreme Court. The young colored men and women in the high schools and colleges today, will have to compete with this college men of the other races. Our race cannot hope to measure to the people with whom we compete if our young men and women have only elementary and high school education while they have college and university training. There are less than ten thousand colored men and women in this country with college education, while there are more than a million white men and women who have such training, or a ratio of more than ten to one. There is a white physician to every 553 white citizens in America, while there is a colored physician to every 3,194 colored citizens. There is a white dentist to every 2,070 white citizens in America while there is a colored dentist to every 20,560 colored citizens. There is a white lawyer to every 718 white Americans and there is a colored lawyer to every 12,317 colored citizens. There is a white teacher to every 145 white Americans and there is a colored lawyer to every 12,317 colored citizens. From this comparative statement, you can see how sadly we need college trained men and women and the great A Baby In Your Home EL FA FACE POWDER The most marvelous scientific discovery of the age Gives the skin a beauty and velvety whiteiness contains a cream basia Can only be removed by soap and water or cold cream 2 oz jar $100 Agents wanted.

We need college trained men to all the walks of life. We need them for formal seated office of the ministry. We have 10-day religious denominations with more than four million members, supporting 50,000 trained ministers. Although we need more than three should and ministers every year, less than one hundred men graduated front one schools of religion last year. If the race is to go forward, our preschools should be men of the highest intelligence and of the broadest scholarship. If our churches in the next generation fall into the hands of poorly equipped and ill-prepared ministers, the general life of the race will sink to a lower level, whatever our achievements may be along other lines of development. The people will perish for the want of vision. President Bluford further added, "In recent years, there has spring up the corporate idea which in the vernature of things tends to change the complexion of our business. With this chang has come the demand of intensive study of the problem of organization, financing and selling, and this brings definitely to the forefront the need of both fundamental and special training of college grade. We need education of every sort." Trenton Elks Give $50 For Scholarship at Bordentown Bordentown, N. J.—A gift of $50 from Sunlight Lodge, L. B. P. Q. P. of W.
