Same Number Of Mob Victims As Year Of 1924 Tuskegee Institute Record of Past Year Shows Also That 41 Mobbists Were Indicted and 21 Convicted; Texas Had No Lynchings For First Year Since Civil War An Associated Press dispatch, dated from San Antonio, Tex., on January 1, states that for the first time since the Civil War a year had passed with no lynchings in that state—this period ending with December 31, 1925. The lynchings record for 1925, as issued by the Department of Records and Research of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Monroe N. Work, director, shows sixteen persons lynched during 1925, the same number as was lynched in 1924, the two years' records being the lowest since records have been kept. It is reported, however, that a statement issued by the N. A. A. C. P., from its New York office, lists eighteen lynchings for 1925. Big Increase In Cases Handled At 7th District Municipal Court—Need For New District Seen Last year when Attorney Pope B. Billips, then a member of the State Assembly, from the 21st Assembly District, introduced a bill to create a new municipal court district in the Harlem territory, his opponent indicted there was no need for an additional district to be created of those who use the municipal courts prove that there is a growing need for another district in this section of the city. In the size of the territory and in the number of accounts handled, the 7th district has the largest number of accounts in the city. It takes in the entire area of accounts of Manhattan from 110th street, West of 7th avenue, to Spyyten Duyvil. The population of this territory has increased more than 100 per cent during the past two years. The activities of the Seventh Municipal Court have been more doubled, due to the shortage of housing facilities in the section and the number of dispossess actions brought. During the year 1924 there were 15,187 dispossess actions brought in the year. In 1925 there 19,94 such actions, an increase of over 4000 over the previous year. Most of these actions were brought by people who live in the Harlem section of the territory. In addition to the dispossess cases there were 17,315 (Continued on Second Page) Lynching Record For Number Of Mob Vict Tuskegee Institute Record of 41 Mobbists Were Indicted Had No Lynchings For F An Associated Press dis nio, Tex., on January 1, state, the Civil War a year had pass state—this period ending wi The lynchings record for partment of Records and Res Ala., Monroe N.

Michigan Sup. Court Says Color Restriction Is Invalid In Property Upholds Decision of Lower Court in Case Of Realty Sold to Negroes Lansing, Mich. — The restriction against sales of property to Negroes on account of color has been declared invalid by the Michigan Supreme Court in a decision handed down in the suit brought by Porter & Wyman, real estate dealers, against Wilbrast and Appellie Barrett, whites, and Wilson Robson, colored. The real estate firm sold the property first to Louis Parent, a white man, who in turn sold it to the Barretts. The contracts in both cases provided that if the property was sold to Negroes it would revert to the real estate firm. So, when the Barretts old to Robinson, Porter & Robinson brought an appeal in the Supreme Court, and now the Supreme Court has affirmed the decision. Justice, Fellows who wrote the opinion said: "We must bear in mind that we are dealing with a restraint on the use of premises. Such restraints, unless unreasonable, have quite uniformly been upheld. Before the sale of intoxicating lipitor was prohibited this Court and practically every court of last resort in the Union upheld restraints of the use of premises for its manufacture or sale. Such a restraint upon the USE was uniformly upheld. But would a restraint on SALE of premises to one who was engaged in the sale of intoxicating liquors elsewhere be valid? I think not."

BISHOP THIS WEEK Woman Run Over By Motor Track Dies In Harlem Hospital Mrs. Elale Battie, age of 30 West 120th street, was fatally injured by a commercial auto in 120th street; near Lenox avenue, Monday afternoon at 5:30 p. m., and died from the injuries early Tuesday morning in the Harlem Hospital. When a Packard truck license number X - 869,695, driven by Harry D. West 345 Lenox avenue, and owned by Marks Brod, 478 West 132nd street, turned the northwest corner from Lenox avenue into 120th street. Mrs. Battle stepped off the sidewalk in front of the auto, according to eyewitnesses who were Preston Vickers, 142 West 130th street and Jesse Monds 208 West 141st street. It was reported that the injured woman was about ten feet away from the crosswalk at the time the truck knocked her down and inflicted internal injuries and cuts, bruises and abrasions of outer parts of her body. She was rushed to the Harlem Hospital where she was given medical attention by Dr. Totora. Prominent ministers and laymen are joining with the members of St. Philip's P. E. Church in West 134th street this week in celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the Rev. Hutchins, G. Bishop as we meet that man who will be the next member of the West 25th street to more than 2,000 at the present time, with a church home and other real estate which makes it the wealthiest church organization owned by Negroes in America. St. Philip's Church was organized in 1818 as the tenth parish of the Episcopal denomination in New York City. The first church was located on Centre street with the Rev Peter Williams as the first rector. In 1853 the church was formally admitted to the Diocese (convention of the State of New York and was moved to Mulberry street into a $30,000 edifice. Here the Rev William J. Alston and Joseph I. Attwell served as rectors, with the Rev John Peterson as assistant minister. The present rector was inducted in January, 1886, after the church had moved to West 25th street. Here worship was continued until April, 1910, when the present commodious church home was dedicated. The year previous the church had sold their church property on 25th street for $140,000—a substantial profit. Later they sold other 34th street business district, which enabled them to purchase a block of apartments on the north side of West 135th street, between Lenox and Seventh avenues. This property is now valued at more than a million dollars. St Philips not only prospered in a financial way under the leadership of Rector Bishop, but it has also been a training school for many young men aspiring to become ministers in the Episcopal Church Among this number is the rector's son, the Rev Shelton Hale Bishop, who now assists his father as vicar. The Rev Dr Owen M. Waller now practicing medicine in Brooklyn was the first year afterwards going to Washington as torer of St Luke's Dr Waller was succeeded by Rev F W Daniel, now rector in Detroit. The Rev Mr. Swan is also an assistant at the present. The celebration began Sunday morning, January 1, with a sermon by the Rt Rev William T Manning, bishop of the diocese. In the evening there were interesting addresses by the Ven Henry I. Philips of Philadelphia and Bishop Archibald I. Carey of Chicago. A feature of the service on Sunday morning was a procession of all the men who have sung in the Rt. Philips choir during the forty years of Dr. Bishop's ministry. Tuesday evening lannes, a parish banquet was held in the auditorium of the church. On Wednesday evening at the Parish House the Men's Club gave a supper in honor of the rector. Thursday evening a public meeting was held at which prominent clergymen of other denominations spoke, praising Dr. Bibhoe for his good work.

C—Daniel Murray, 74 years of age, who resided at 934 S street, northwest, and who had served for forty-two years as an assistant librarian of the Library of Congress, died on Thursday, December 31, from Bright's Disease, after a long period of illness. Funeral services were held Sunday, January 2, from St. Luke's Episcopal Church, 15th and Church streets, Certificate Of Commendation Given Officer Edw. H. Green Traffic Officer Edward H. Green, 45 West 129th street, was one of the 150 policemen who won departmental recognition from former Commissioner Enright, who sent in his name for a Certificate of Commendation for a meritorious act of bravery during the year. Officer Green was the first colored man who was ever awarded a certificate for meritorious acts in performance of police duty. His first award was for arresting two colored hold-up men on September 21, 1922, both of whom were convicted and given long sentences. His last award which was one of the last acts of Commissioner Enright, was for the capture of a white subway bandit who confessed to having held up and robbed ten Interborough ticket sellers, and who was sentenced to 20 years in the pen. Officer Green was an officer in the World War. Recently he sustained injuries in an auto mishap in Brooklyn from which he is now recovering, but is not yet able to leave his room.

Mr Murray was born in Baltimore March 1, 1852 and attended the public schools and the Unitarian Seminary in his native town. He came to Washington at the age of 14 and obtained work in the Senate restaurant. The late Answorth L. Spofford who was librarian of the Library of Congress became interested in the lad and made young Murray his personal assistant. In 1880 Mr. Murray was made an assistant librarian returning from active service in 1921. He is survived by the widow Ms. Anne Evans Murray, sister of the bride Bruce Evans of Washington's public schools and tour guides George Henry Nathaniel A Harold B and Paul Evans A son Daniel junior and a daughter predeceased their father. Authority On Race History Through the training he received from Mr. Spafford and extensive research work he became an authority in certain historical lines and was able to compile a history of the achievements of the colored races throughout the world and particularly the contribution of the American Negro to (Continued on Behind Pages) Declares Action of County Committee In Naming Of Associate Leaders in 19th & 21st A. D.'s Is Impolitic; Un-American and Insulting To Colored Voters The insulting and autocratic attitude of Robert S. Conklin, Republican leader of the 21st Assembly District, New York City, toward the Negro voters of his district, which was particularly emphasized during the past year by his utter ignoring of the wishes of his constituents as to the naming of an associate colored leader, has been brought to attention again by Conklin's effort to have the County Committee, through a special committee, make certain specified arrangements as to how the "additional colored associate members from the Nineteenth and Twenty-first Assembly Districts should be elected." This contemplated action, fathered and directed by Conklin, is in direct contravention of past methods. It has always been the custom for colored County Committeemen and Committeewomen to select the colored associate leader in the 19th and 21st, and Conklin's action now is based on his evident desire to rid himself of the need to pay attention to the wishes of his colored constituents. Letter To Chairman Heydt January 4th, 1926. Hon Charles E. Heydt Costumya Repudiates Effort. This special committee was called to meet on Tuesday, January 5, the resolution authorizing the naming of the committee having been presented to the County Committee at its meeting on November 19, following the decision of the Assembly to reassign the Resident of the 21st lot to both Armenian and Alderman, sowithstanding the good showing made by other Republican candidates. Conklin's despotic action is in striking contrast to the attitude of David B Costuma, Republican leader in the 19th A D Leader Costuma was named as a member of the special committee of seven named in accordance with the Conklin resolution, but he, at that time, November 19, emphatically put himself on record as being opposed to the adoption of the minutes which contained the resolution.

If you have anything to sell, or if there is any interest in the work from The Arts Classical Page 148 phasis his stand in a letter sent, under date of February 4 to Charles E. Heydt, 2 Rector street, chairman of the special committee, in reply to a notice to attend the special committee meeting on the 15th. Mr. Costuma wrote as follows: Letter To Chairman Heydt Hon Charles E. Heydt, January 4th, 1926. I am today in receipt of a notice from the Secretarp of the County Committee requesting me to attend a meeting of a committee of which you are chairman, on Tuesday, January 5th, 1925, so the following resolution passed by the Executive Committee on November 19th, 1925: "Resolved that the Chairman be authorized to appoint a special committee of seven to consider the manner in which the additional colored associate members from the Nineteenth and Twenty-first Assembly Districts should be elected and what their duties should be. FURTHER, that this Committee submit their report to the Executive Committee at a later date." You will recall that at the last meeting of the Executive Committee I recorded myself as being opposed to the adoption of the minutes which contain this resolution. Impolitic and Un-American I can conceive of nothing more impolitic, more un-American and more insulting to the mass of colored Republicans than this resolution. They are citizens and should be entitled to the same privilege of representation granted to other creeds without any specific limitation as to their duties. In the Nineteenth District the colored County Committee men and women make their own designation for Associate Leaders and I am always happy to accept their recommendations. The above resolution introduced, as I understand, by the Leader of the Twenty-first District is a continued evidence of his stubbornness and why the County Chairman has permitted this situation to continue for far beyond what harm can come to anybody and particularly to the Party's welfare which to my mind should be the first and not as some Leaders figure the last consideration, of the colored County Committee men and women in the Twenty-first District are permitted the same freedom of expression exercised in the Nineteenth District. Party Weaknesses In Harlem Why should the party be interested into taking the stand that the favor special rules governing duties of colored citizens as differentiated from other breeds? We have in Harlem the most faithful Republican territories in New York growing weaker each year because of parties' management and I am wondering what can be the real motive behind this latest drive on the part of the County Chairman who cannot hold his responsibilities against Colored Harlem. The Chairman can do no more effective work than to appoint leaders not to meddle in Republican colored Harlem, but as special committees charged with disseminating some Republican doctrine in their own districts. I repeat that I consider this revolution disfigured and an-American and I, of course, will attend no meetings The party policy so sternly, conspended by Leader Costume bears out the belief which has steadily gained ground on Harlan that the party leaders are indifferent and not desolate of building up or strengthening the Republicans through any consideration that is to be shown the Negro voters. It is the thought of many of the most conservative that the general tendency is to aid track the colored men and women and build up a white party almost identical in frank with the infamous lilly white party of the South. Certainly, according to those familiar with her situation, it seems that the colored voter is getting the small end of the stick from Coulklin and his associates in the Zlist A. D., for those Negro leaders who have had the courage and mahood to stand up and condemn for full and free recognition are and have been relegated to the near and given no consideration. The thought is being expressed that the Negro will find himself entirely ignored unless he shows pliably his resentment at such treatment. He must resent the Conklin attitude, and he must make that resentment apparent in every district. In doing this it is certain that he will receive the support and endorsement of all organization Republicans, especially those of the Costuma type. Apathy Will Be Disastrous The Republican attitude of general apathy toward the Negro voter, it is pointed out, is indicated in most of the Republican districts in Greater New York, and the prediction is freely made that this apathetic treatment of a large and influential part of the party will be disastrously felt by Republican candidates for the Governor and U.S. Senator in the next election, (as it was, to some degree, in the last November elections) unless the leadgres wake up. Attention is called to the fact that although Leader Costuma retained Republican Assemblyman Grenthal in the 19th, the policy of Leader Conklin in the 21st resulted in the defeat for reelection of Assemblyman Bitrups and the additional defeat of the party candidate for Alderman. It is also emphasized that leader Costuma has, from the beginning stood firmly against such dangerous and obnoxious methods as those used by Leader Conklin in dealing with the Negro voters. It is said that representative colored Republicans are determined to resent the present attitude of certain leaders and will not stand for pussy footers, or for those who are just Republicans for the jobs they hold. New Municipal Court Needed In Harlem District (Continued From First Page) other civil actions in 1925 as against 16715 in 1924 Mr. Briplus's bill provided that a separate district be made of the territory from 110th street to 150th street which is larger, populated by colored people. His idea was to not only lighten the work of the Seventh District Court but to also give the colored voters a chance to elect a member of their race as a judge in this court. Although this bill started to become a law at the last session of the legislature it is reported that it will be reintroduced in the Assembly by Assemblyman Abraham Grenthal of the 19th A.D. The sentiment infavor of such a law is much stronger this year and considerable pressure will be brought to bear by residents of this section to have this much needed legislation enacted Daniel Murray Dead (Continued from First Page) this republic under the title of Murray's Encyclopedia of the Colored Race.

Because of the assistance given to the leading men of the city who were interested in questions relating to the proper assessment and taxation, his property was complemented by the late P. H. Warner with a memorial to the Washington Board of Trade. His death removes the only colored member of that body. He was a member of the committee that resisted Mineral Dewey from New York, Washington upon his triumph at the close of the Spanish American War when the Congress presented the admiral with a $10,000 award. M. Murray was also a member of a commission that prepared a treaty exhibit of the American Negro in the Paris exposition and also a memoir of a commission that prepared a similar exhibit for the Jamaican exposition. He was a member of the Douglass Relief Association. The Congressional Library Association and the Association of Older Inhabitants. He was a delegate from the District of Columbia to the Republican National Convention of 1908. J. P. GALLEGO WINS DIVORCE VERDICT FROM RUTM GALLEGO Brooklyn and Jamaica society circles which were attired a year ago by the marital troubles of Mr. and Mrs. J. Percy Gallego, which led to their separation, are again on the qui vive at the news that Mr. Gallego has been granted an interlocutory decree in his suit for absolute divorce, his plea being based on alleged misconduct committed by his wife, one Edward Williams being named as correspondent. Both parties are prominent in society, church and art circles. Mr. Gallego is a singer and elocutistman, and is frequently heard in recitals. He is connected with the well known Lansing family of Brooklyn and is employed at 111 Broadway, Manhattan. He is now residing at 29 Marion street, Brooklyn Mrs. Gallego, living at 68 Cumberland street, Jamaica, Long Island, is a teacher of the piano and organ and is organist at the Allen A M E Church, Jamaica. They have been heard in many public joint recitals. The couple were married on June 27, 1923, up Allan Church, the wedding being a brilliant function attended by a large and notable list of guests from Greater New York, the Rev George R Covardale performing the ceremony Attorney Oscar Garrett of 206 Broadway, Manhattan, represented Mr. Gallego. The complaint charged Mrs. Gallego with undue intimacy with the said Edward Williams, and that this intimacy had been of long standing. The case was heard by Judge Carswell in Special Seasons, Part II. Kings County Supreme Court, Brooklyn, and he signed the interlocutory decree on December 21, 1925.

State, Dies Suddenly Old Citizen of Rochester And Leader of Move To Exect Douglas Shaft John W. Thompson, A Race Leader In N. Y. State, Dies Suddenly Old Citizen of Rochester And Leader of Move To Exect Douglas Shaft Rochester, N Y—Rochester was shocked on Sunday, January 3, when the news spread over the city that John W Thompson had died suddenly. For many years Mr. Thompson was a leader among his people not only in Rochester, but throughout Monroe County an the northern section of the state. He was nationally known and admired as a political leader. He was one of the originators of the movement to erect a monument here in Rochester in memory of the late Frederick Douglas, and in 1922 he was instrumental in having the 9th of June set aside for observance as Douglas Day. The late George Aldridge H. Egeton and James L. Hoschkiss of the County Court House were among his intimate friends. He spent much time in Albany where he was engaged at the Capitol during session of the State Assembly. Mr. Thompson was a high Mason and active in all cleric and social welfare movements. Mme.

He was stabbed in the right hand during an altercation with a strange man whom he met at lenox avenue and 133rd street at 1240 a.m. Thomas Johnson 27 of 327 lenox avenue was stabbed in the face by a strange woman with whom he engaged in a dispute at 1250 a.m. lenox avenue near 190th street.

President Announce the Removal of their Office from 202 West 140th Street to 2380 Seventh Avenue Corner 139th Street 600 Vote To Sever Connection With Un-American Greed Organisation What is looked upon as a disintegrating of the Ku Klux Klan in New England is the action taken by more than six hundred members of the invisible order from New Haven, Conn, who have resigned their membership, characterizing the order as an "organization of greed," unfit for "any American worthy of name," a "travesty on patriotism and a caricature of Protestantism," and declaring the people should "Momp quit this slimy sarcent that threatens the very life of our Nation." Arthur J Mann, head of the mail order department of the National Folding Box and Paper Co., was the kilgrapp of this particular klan body, and he has made public a letter seep to Walter J Bossert, imperial klallif of the klan, at Indianapolis, Ind., notifying him that the New Haven body had voted "to sever all connection with the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan of Georgia, Inc." After giving expression to the characterization referred to above, Mr Mann wrote as follows concerning the klan order "It has become without question the greatest menace facing the American people today. For every good man severing his connection with it, ten men are taken in that would shame a ward leader of Tammany Hall. The thousands of good Protestant Americans are blind to its intrigues and crooked methods. Would Awaken Americans Real Americans must be awakened and made to use every effort to stamp out this slimy serpent that threatens the very life of our Nation Hundreds of real men in this old city of New Haven are glad to declare themselves, and for that reason a copy of this letter goes to the public press to use as their editors see fit Commenting on the situation, Mann said later "My letter states clearly the reason for the action of New Haven Klansmen" said Mann. "It is a step taken only after careful consideration and based on a mass of evidence secured from all over the Nation from men of dependable character A National Menace "One of these men, a man of high Masonic degree and a clergyman of repute, who once was a K. K. K official, wrote me that he considered the Klan a national menace. He said the organization was in the hands of one man and had become a machine for his own aggrandizement. Because it is so standardized it has become moronic. Its spirit is the spirit of hatred and its program the program of destructionists. My sober conviction is that the Ku Klux Klan must be destroyed before it gains too much power in America." The Walter P. Bosser to whom the letter is addressed is generally recognized as the man who placed Gov. Jackson of Indiana in office. He was manager of the Jackson campaign, and when the Indiana Klan split took control of the faction that remained true to the Atlanta organization of Dr. Evans.

In each case the injured persons were treated by Horstem Hospital physicians and sent home. At the 12 o'clock services, the assistant pastor, Rev. Hogans, conducted the opening service, owing to Pastor Bolden being sick. At the close of the last night, Foster Bolden came down out of a sick bed and preached a short sermon to his members and friends. His test was as follows: "Virtly I say unto you, Whereover this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this that this woman hath done, he told for a memorial of her." St. Matthew 26:13. subject: "The Ministry of Women, and Her Gospel of human and Divine Service. Pastor Bolden said "We are prompted to speak from this text and subject this morning on the First Lord's Day of 1926, because this phase of ministry by woman in the life of our Lord Jesus the Emmanuel has not been stressed with equal importance as He commanded, with His gospel of salvation from sin, ministry of love, and gift of Eternal Life. Perhaps in this the last days of the Gospel dispensation and the closing age of the ministry and work of the Holy Spirit in the world of humanity, the woman and Mary ministry and gospel of human and divine service is almost and mysteriously manifesting itself in the feminine life of both woman and men as is seen in their acts of kindness and love among individuals and homes, institutions, organizations, community, the state and the nation, the world at large as the benevolent legislature of maternalism is taking definite hold upon the life of the people of the world. The cause that gave rise to the command of our Lord Jesus the Emmanuel, that wherever His gospel should be preached throughout the whole world, that the act and spirit of this woman should be told as her memorial, this woman's expression of gratitude to her Lord and Savior that had brought joy and new life in her experience. She was not mindful that she was in the house of Simon, the Laper, and that her act would cause criticism and unkind remarks. Her one object was to have her Lord and Master to see and know how dear and priceless He was to her Hesse she broke the alabaster box of ointment upon his head while he was sitting at meat. As then, so it has been up through the ages to the present time.

A 10-minute whist tournament was staged the prize winn- ners being James M. Miller Chas W. M. Mitchell Dr. R. B. Parks and C. Lanning Nevis The guests besides Mr Lee were Dr. Oskar H.

Chase of the New York Age. Mr. and Mr. Arthur Lee were holiday guests of Judge Scotland at his home in the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Staats of friends persist in intruding their questioning, prejudiced, jealous and unkind thought into the sacred ministry service and acts of others for our Lord and His Causes. And the rebukes that come to those on the occasion of this woman's ministry and the command that they should speak of her act as a memorial of her throughout the world as they speak of His gospel, has never changed and is the same today. A counterpart of the spiritual significance of this woman's act of preparing our Lord the Emmanuel's Head and Body for His burial may be also found in the act of Mary the sister of Lazarus, the beloved friend of our Lord, that He had raised from the dead, when after six days before the passover Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was. "There they made him a supper, and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. Then took Mary a pound of spikenard, very costly and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. "The selfish, jealous, covetous spirit expressed itself through the words of Judas Iscariot, whose covered remembrance pretended interest in the poor, and as to what greater service the money from the sale of this precious ointment might be made use of, received from our Lord the rebuke that he and such of his kind justly deserve. In both cases these valuable ointments did not belong to any of the critics; they belonged to those who were making use of them in the way they saw fit and best; and no one had a right to interfere or object to this manner of their use. Their service and spirit was of greater value than the ointment and upon whom they were laying it was more precious than anything they could do. And their acts had a more spiritual significance as regards His physical and mental burial in the earth and mind of the world than they comprehended. May the Holy Spirit urge us to give gladly and joyously our priceless thoughts, time means and service to the tenderly womanly work of human and divine service anywhere we find the opportunity in the world of humanity. Perhaps the women of this age may regret that after they have done their noble service they have no hair to wipe his bruised and tender feet I hope that their physical condition in this regard does not reflect the modern women conscious spiritual attitude toward our Lord the Emmanuel. At 2 p.m the Sunday school was opened by superintendent Hogans. As the close of the lesson study, Rev Hogans reviewed the children on the work. At 6 p.m. the Literary Society convened, Mrs. Addie Johnson having charge of the program, which was a wonderful one. At 4 p.m. Pastor Bolden again made the effort and preached a wonderful emancipation address at the Metropolitan Baptist Church The evening service was well attended and Rev Hogans preached to the many assembled His text was "Oh give thanks unto the Lord for he is good for his mercy endureth forever." 130th Psalm 1 verse Siloam Presbvterian Church The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered at both the morning and evening hour of worship at Sulamn.

The Bible School met in regular session at 1:15 p.m. The holiday season over superintendent and teachers will devote all of their time to the instructing of pupils in the lessons as mapped out in the graded system working for greater efficiency in the study of the Bible and a higher standard of excellence in all departments.

Mrs. Henry Hall is in charge of this service for fifteen month and an interesting program is to be presented, announcement of which will appear later. Registration for the confirmation class is now open. The class will take up its study, beginning ally, weeks before Easter and be received into the church at that time.

The first Wednesday evening of each month is devoted to Church school of Christian Social Service; second Wednesday evening, Church School of Christian Social Service; third Wednesday evening, Church School of Missions. The Home Department lessons review is held the last Wednesday evening in each quarter. The theme for the month of January is, "Prayer," with special prayer in the church and home for Easter in gathering of souls. During the month designations for cottage prayer meetings will be made and group leaders for personal evangelism chosen. Fleet St. Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church One among the largest audiences we have ever seen attended divine services Sunday morning. Apparently it was the outgrowth of the Watch Night Service, when meditations and resolutions are paramount in the thinking of Christian humanity. "Failure, Faith Fullness," was the subject from which Dr. Brown spoke. If the religious world can be linked up with the commercial world of stocktaking, certainly this was one reflection, when past failure present opportunities and faith for the future was a just summary of life. At the conclusion of the sermon, nine persons united with the church. At the conclusion of the service infant baptism was administered. The Sunday school showed a larger attendance than at any time during the year for the lesson period. The secretary of the school, Miss Maran Hooks, at the conclusion of the lesson period, read an annual report, hating attendance of scholars, visitors and financial receipts for the year. This was an unusual report and merited the applause of the entire school Dr Brown gave a brief review of the history of Zion Church, at which the school a a whole was alert in church history and its leadership past and present. Beginning this week the reorganization of the various auxiliaries of the church will take place under the supervision of the pastor At 7.54 the Rev H W Morrison was the speaker. For a number of years Rev Morrison was a member of the New York Conference. He recently transferred to the New Jersey Conference Dr. Brown will leave the city late during the week to visit his father and his father in law both of Edenton N.C. returning in time to be present at service on the third Sunday morning in January when the congregation will give an offering in the interest of the case of Dr. Sweet and others at Detroit From all appearances the remaining part of this conference year will be a nightly busy one. In the plan some cleaning will undoubtedly be done and a larger organization of church and churchmen will be the kevite of rehabilitation. This was evidenced in the charge given by the pastor to the large number of probationers arrested at the morning service.

S. Attorney Emory R. Buckner as voiced in an address delivered before the congregation which was assembled last Sunday night at the Chelsea Methodist Church, when he declared that the only way to enforce the law was to effect a "partnership between the Federal and State Governments." He advocated the reenactment by the State Assembly of a State dry act for "social safety and prevention of crime." Mr. Backer virtually confessed his inability to put through effective enforcement of the prohibition law" unless the State assists, saying that the Federal law enforcement forces are simply breaking down under the hindrance and "we cannot do the jobs which are given us by Uncle Sam". He said also that "Uncle Sam is the only client I ever had who had too much law business to suit me. I can suggest no better New Year's resolution, for the sources of the country than Back to the State". Leave Too Much To U. S. While not denying the necessity of a strong central government, he insisted there was too much tendency to have such unpleasant work for Federal officials. Let the states do their own job and let the United States government come in to those activities which are essentially Federal in their nature and which would not be done at all unless done by the Federal government. Home rule and local responsibility concerning matters essentially local in their nature are vital to the efficient administration of justice. Take the case of prohibition. It has become perfectly apparent to me that the prohibition law cannot be adequately enforced except by a partnership between the Federal government and the state government. The only other alternative is a radical reorganization of our entire system of Federal court machinery and a very radical expansion of our prohibition enforcement agencies. Mr. Buckner summarized the points leading him to his conclusion by selecting the Eighteenth Amendment, as illustrative of the need for more state responsibility. Because this law is part of the Constitution he said, it must be enforced as a matter of social safety, prevention of crime, putting down the crooks, stopping corruption and bribery and general law enforcement. Enforce or Repeal Law "I repeat what I have often said before." Mr Buckner concluded, "that the national prohibition law should either be adequately enforced or modified or repealed. It cannot be adequately enforced by the Federal government alone under present conditions and without radical changes, which I am not in sight. It must, therefore, be enforced, if at all, by both the state and the Federal governments." In the meantime, U. S. Attorney D. Kiner and Police Commissioner George A. McLaughlin have gotten rights and the police head has promised to every arm of his department to assist the Federal Attorney in stopping out prohibition violations. In an after-luncheon conference on Monday it was agreed between the officials that the police would furnish a degree of violations and the Federal Court would furnish padlocks for the arrangement which obtained Enough Evidence Is In U.

One of the first orders issued by Commissioner McLaughlin labilized this Special Service Squad and sent more than 200 men back to pounding the pavements in uniform. Exulta Force To Cooperate. The agreement reached now by Mr. Buckner and the new police head will bring the entire police force to cooperate with the Federal agencies: Unformed police will not be permitted to enter, suspected places, but they will be required to file information which would be turned over to plainclothesmen for investigation, and all evidence obtained will be turned over to the Federal Prosecutor. Commenting on the conference, Mr Buckner said: "Commissioner McLaughlin and I, have agreed that I will trade the padlock for evidence and, by increasing the personnel of my office, I hope to lock-up those speakeasies and dens and dives and other places violating the Prohibition Law, rich and poor alike. It stands to reason that with proper supervision and a special squad for purposes of checking up, 10,000 policemen on the spot can do more than 250," referring to the abolition of the Special Service Squad. Commissioner McLaughlin said that the U. S. Attorney had seemed apprehensive 'lest the doing away of the Special Service Squad resulted in a let-down in police enforcement, but that he had assured him of complete police airport in the city district. Thoughtful observers are wondering if the new arrangement will mean a return of the conditions which existed before the Mullin-Gage law, providing the State enforcement powers now asked for by Buckner and putting the bootlegging element under direct thumb pressure from the uniformed police. The padlocking of a hooch joint at 2204 Seventh avenue, the past week, is followed by the opening of the same or a similar joint at 2206, right next door. Levy, at 503 Lenox avenues, padlocked this week, sent out cards, as reproduced in last week's Age, notifying his "numbers" and hooch clients that he would take care of their business at 106 West 136th street, and he is also operating a similar place at 114 West 135th street. Incidentally, it is noted by investigators that many of the bootlegging places are headquarters for "numbers" operators. West 136th street seems to be a sort of stamping ground for these gentry. It is said that at least three hooch selling joints, including the place Levy announced on his card above referred to, are also taking care of "numbers" plays that run well up into four figures every day, with a total weekly aggregate that is staggering in proportions. The Age Makes A Suggestion. The New York Age makes the suggestion, in connection with the agreement between McLaughlin and Buckner, that extreme care be used by the police head and his responsible subordinates in the selection of the men Alliance, Ga. — One of the most brilliant social events of the Tule Ridge season, was the wedding of one of Alliance's popular young wonders, Miss Ole Mia Kelley, and J. Judias Flood of Tuskegee Institute, which was solemnized at the residence of the bride's parents, 258 West Fair street, on the evening of December 26. The home was decorated with palms, roses, holly, and pollinettes. At 5:30 p.m., Mrs. Myrle King Brown, accompanied by Miss Florence Harris, sang "Until." Little Missa Wynell Haimon and Julia Lorane, dibbon bearers, were dressed in crepe de chine with large bows of tulle; Miss Salome Crawford, cousin of the bride, wore orchid georgette with hand made appliqué of pastel shades, Miss Verdelle Day, a pink georgette, and Miss Johnnie Kelley, maid of honor, a lovely georgette. The bride's attendants carried bouquets of pink roses with tulle. Master Howard Goodlet bowed the wedding ring; little Miss Dorothy Reyes scattered flowers in the path of the bride. To the strains of the bridal march from Lohengrin, the bride entered on the arm of her father. The bride was attired in white georgette, trimmed in crystal beads, her veil extending to a long train and fashioned with orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of white bridal roses, her only ornament being a string of pearls, the gift of the groom. As the bride entered the main door of the living room, the groom accompanied by his best man, Relph N. Davis of Tuskegee Institute, entered from a side door joining the bride. The ceremony was performed by Dr. E. R. Carter, pastor of Friendship Baptist Church. The bride and groom left for a honeymoon trip to Macon, Ga., and on their return from Macon, they will make their home at Pinehurst, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. The gifts were numerous and costly.

Y. — Ignatius is more prevalent among Negroes than whites in the United States according to a study of unpublished data made public by Dr. Horatio M. Pollock, director of the Statistical Bureau of the State Hospital Commission. The study, said to be unique in institutional history, deals with data from the special census of institutions for mental diseases taken by the Federal Census Bureau January 1, 1923, and from the statistical records of the commission. Factors contributing to the higher rate of mental disease among Negroes are listed by Dr. Pollock as follows: than the white race. Because Negroes live what is termed a "marginal existence", it is probable that when mental disease occurs, admission to an institution, if one is available, is resorted to more frequent than in the case of whites. Negroes in the. North especially are city dwellers and subjected to the stresses of city life, which many of them are unable to withstand. Developed in warm regions Resident. Negro patients in hospitals numbered 20,084, or 7.6 per cent of the total resident patients Dr. Pollock found. White patients numbered 244,968, or 92.2 per cent of the total. The rate of. Negro resident patients is greater than that of white patients, in thirty-seven of the forty-seven States for which data are given. The rate of resident white patients exceeds the rate of resident, Negro patients only in the Southern section of the country in which institutions for the care of Negro patients are inadequate, from which Dr. Pollock concludes it seems more probable that were equal institutional care afforded patients of the two races, the rate of Negro resident patients would everywhere exceed that of white resident patients. From the data studied he concluded the rate of resident Negro patients was much higher in the Northern geographical divisions than in the Southern. It is noted the general recovery rate in 1922 was higher among Negro patients than among white patients, although the improvement rate among whites was the higher. The general death rate in 1922 was much higher among Negro patients than among whites. The rates for males were higher than those for females in both races. Birthday Party For Miss Jessie.

Blanked for a better understanding between the white and Negro races, Mrs Charlotte Hawkins Brown, president of the Scalia Normal Institute and president of the State Federation of Colored Women's Club, on Friday, night, January 1, delivered the principal address at the celebration of the sixty-third anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, which was held in the auditorium of the Washington High School. More than five hundred members of our race all spellbound as Mrs. Brown delivered an address which lasted the better part of an hour, "The Negro Woman and the New Freedom" was her subject. Mrs. Brown asserted that the time had come for the race to lay aside the shackles of their ancestors and put on the "new freedom" which was theirs. "In the course of her speech she paid tribute to the memory of the late Col. A. B. Andrews, who she declared was one of the race's best friend. To Mrs. T. W. Blickett she devoted a part of her address and said that Mrs. Blickett understood the Negro and wanted to help all she could. Speaking on what President Abraham Lincoln did for the race, she asserted that the act of the martyred President was as beneficial to the poor white class of the South as it was to the Negroes, for "they came into their own as much so as the blackest Negro." She said that the white woman of America held the key to the situation today and it remained for the Negro woman to do, for the Negro race what the men had failed to do. She called on the women of Raleigh to work diligently for the race. A dramatization of the sufferings of the ante-bollum slave was given under the auspices of the Raleigh Woman's Club. Music was furnished by the Washington High School Orchestra. L. E. Graves, president of the Emancipation Association, presided and introduced Mrs. Brown in a most pleasing manner. Emancipation Day Speech At Greensboro, N. C., By Mrs. Aaddle W. Hunton Greenboro, N. C—One of the best addresses ever delivered to a Greenboro audience was delivered January 1, as twelve o'clock, in the court house, by Mrs. A. W. Hinton of Brooklyn, N. Y. Mrs. Hinton delivered the main address of the Emancipation Celebration program. Mrs. Hunton paid a tribute to the colored people of North Carolina in that she aid that North Carolina seems to be one of the most strategic points in the life of Negro achievement in the South. Her address dealt with the development of the American Negro in general within the last sixty years. These accomplishments are so varied and marvelous that they are becoming to be household words of America. The speaker told of the remarkable progress that has been made by the Negro in a program of church building. "The history of the world seems to be wrapped up in the various religious Cathedrals of the world," said she. Negroes's Church Art Reference was made to the history of art and intellect as it is preserved through the Cathedrals of Europe. It was inferred that it is logical to believe that since the American Negro has contributed so much towards church buildings of his own, future generations may read some of his achievements therein. It was pointed out that one of the most lasting contributions that the Negro has made of the Amerikan civilization has been his contributions to art. "Two of the most valuable gifts that the Negro seems to be endowed with are his musical and spiritual gifts" said the speaker. "Back of Douglas, back of Lincoln, and even back of the Civil War itself was the spiritual life of our forefathers," whose prayers were heard by the God of the universe and were answered through the Emancipation Proclamation. Mrs. Huntol made the plea, that we should, hold fast to these gifts." She advised that we should not let these achievements make us drunk. "We are at the beginning of our accomplishments and if we are to reach the goal of racial success we must catch a far-reaching vision of the future and be willing to give our lives a sacrifice for the cause of race progress. Races are not races for the moment history is not made of the present, they are products of centuries and even though we ourselves may die we must save the children," said she. Race Woman's Worth The audience was brought to enthusiastic applause when the effect that the world is about to be convinced that the Negro woman is as moral; is as capable of culture, is as good as any others of her sex in the world. "The day has passed," said she, "when black women shall be traded and not answer back." In this connection she related numerous experiences of her own connection with various women's clubs and organizations, both white and colored. She said thanks are to be given the scores of white women who are joining hands with the black women in division.

We are frequently asked by mothers the significance of various colors and changes of the baby's stools. Intelligent observation of these whether the baby is sick or well will give much information that may be thought not always is, of definite value. If the baby does not pass what you think is a sufficient amount the trouble may be due to insufficient intake of food. If the movements are very large and copious he may not have more than one a day or one every two days. It probably is better if there is a movement each day but we have seen babies who had only one large movement every other day and still did well. This is the exception however. The normal breast fed baby has a stool that is of the consistency of sea-soup or again may be of the scrambled-egg variety. A loose foamy stool may mean that the baby is being fed too much sugar, that is if it is a bottle-fed baby. On the other hand a hard crumbly stool, the so-called "soap stool" indicates too much protein and fat with insufficient sugar. These will need the supervision of the doctor to so change the formula as to meet the needs of the particular baby. The characteristic of the stools which worry mothers most is their color. Green stools are the most colored women have been made victims of. The program, was interesting from beginning to end. Rev. Avery pastor of Bethel Church, gave the opening prayer; Miss M. B. Davis rendered a piano solo. The Emancipation Proclamation was read in a very, satisfying manner by Miss A. L. Tarpley of Bennett College. The speaker was given a very cordial and enthusiastic introduction by Mrs. W. W. Domell. The last number on the program was the singing of a splendid solo by Mrs. N. G. Washington. Benediction was Rev. R. T. Weatherby, pastor. St. Matthews Church. Rev. J. J. Scarlet, pastor of Providence church, presided. Diamond Rings and Gold Watches Given Employees By Mrs. Annie M. Malone St. Louis, Mo. The eleventh annual Poro College Christmas dinner was given last week to 150 persons present mostly employees. A feature of the dinner was the presentation of diamond rings and gold watches to eighteen employees by Mrs. Annie M. Malone, founder of the institution. This makes more than one hundred employees who have received this award. Those receiving five year service awards last week were: Mesdames Beulah Bragg, Katie Hancock, Lucy Wright, Estelle Mitchell, Lula Maddox, Pearl G. Peterson, Lillian Williams, Mattie Wade, Louella Keith, Misses Dollie Evans, Rosalyn Rankin, M.

Call at The Age office—230 West 185th Street—Thursday or Friday morning. common abnormality. The color may be green when first passed or after sliding a while. The latter is of no significance. The former may simply mean that the movements have been hurried through the intestines or if combined with a watery character may indicate some abnormality. This being infection of the intestines, what mothers call "cold on the bowels" or some disturbance in the residue of food with bacterial fermentation. This must be determined by your doctor. Intestinal indigestion is the name by which this is called. White stools in the newborn and persistent in nature indicate a grave disturbance. Greyish, grezy stools are seen in cases of fat indigestion. Black stools are usually due to some medicine that the baby has is taking - iron or bismuth for example. Occasionally the stool is bluish or pink probably due to pigment producing bacteria. The brown or brownish-yellow stool is the common normal stool in a baby who is fed cereals or one of the dextro-maltose preparations. The normal stool has an aromatic odor. Excess of sugar produces an odor like butter milk. Too much protein an odor like cheese. And fat, a rancid odor like spoiled butter. Blood is sometimes found, in the stools. We just say a baby who was passing bright red blood. Other findings showed he had intestinal obstruction. Two weeks ago we saw another who was passing blood. mucus and who strained excessively. Moreover this child had an high fever and there was puss in the movements too. Here we were dealing with an infectious diarrhoea that is dientyary and ulcerative Colitis (inflammation of the large bowl). We find blood streaks on the outside of a hard constipated stool showing some damage to the rectum in passage. Blood and mucus mixed with the stool indicate inflammation of the bowel. Mucus is very frequently found in the stool. Anything which irritates the intestines will cause this. After castor oil much mucus is passed and the mother is happy that she has gotten rid of the "cold." This is a very comforting delusion. Most likely the oil has irritated the intestines which in the attempt to allay this pain out mucus. And it is this which the mother called "cold." Any dietary disturbance or infection of the intestines will do the same thing. You are all familiar with the character of pus—a yellowish white material. Whenever you see this in the baby's stools call you doctor immediately for undoubtedly we are dealing in this case with a severe inflammation. Curds are next to a green color in their frequency. These are of two kinds, first the protein curd-which vary in size from that of a small bean to that of a peanut and are of a yellowish-white color. These are common in the stools of a bottle fed baby in which the proportion of protein is too large. Next the fat curd which is larger and greey in appearance. Curds in themselves without any other evidence of faulty diety, with a good gain in weight, no vomiting or diarrhoea are not occasion alarm. Portions of undigested food are found in the stools of older children but are not necessarily important. So then we advise that you become familiar with the color, consistency, order and presence of abnormalities in your baby's stools for these many times give the first warnings of impending or actual danger.

C. 2 VOL 39 No. 17 Cullen and the general revival of Negro art in music, poetry and literature, to realize that a new birth has been signalized for the race along these lines. More than this, the Negro influence has made an indelible impression upon the music and drama of the whites. There are few musical revues or variety performances that do not include the syncopated measures once scornfully denominated as "jazz" and frowned upon by musical highbrows. Now the present vogue of one popular orchestra leader is based on his adoption of jazz music as the characteristic performance of his band, and he is not alone in his borrowings from Negro sources. Even the Philharmonic Society at a recent concert, included in its program, "A Negro Rhapsody" by Rubin Goldmark, for which the composer acknowledged his indebtedness by saying "the Rhapsody is based on seven themes which the composer regards as of Negro origin—or at least of Negro character." THE BASIS OF BOOTLEGGING When the Prohibition enforcement officials closed thirteen out of the fifteen denaturing plants that flooded the New York district with nearly a million gallons of alcohol each month they came pretty near pattung the bootleggers out of business. Without alcohol the bootleggers cannot coexist the villainous beverages that they sell under various labels as liquor of some sort or other. Grain alcohol with denaturants added or possibly omitted at the occasion offers, is the cheapest and easiest base upon which to build up whiskies of all classes from Scotch to Rye gun or any other kind of liquor the palate can secure. Another tendency is to be observed among white singers and performers of a seemingly unconscious imitation of the style and mannerisms of such artists as the late Bert Williams Cole and Johnson and others of that class. This is seen not in black face, but in white roles. In a recent gorgeous production of this sort, the whole show seemed to be built on the lines of Florence Mills' 'From Dixie to Broadway,' and the leading female singer gave evidence of faithful study of Miss Mills' imitable gestures and poses But to turn to more material things, we find that the development of the race along financial lines continued on a steady basis during the past year, being marked in the insurance world. Most of the old and new companies did good business, although the control of the Standard Life had to be counted among the losses. In the banking world severe losses were experienced in Richmond and Philadelphia, but the prosperity of the banks established by the race in other sections was an element of strength. The calmness with which the failures were accepted showed a realization that they were due to individual causes and confidence in racial institutions was not disturbed as a whole. The present need of the race is for commercial activities that will give employment to as many individuals as possible. The extension of retail business in localities where favorable development might be hoped for, is a feasible solution of this problem. The tendency so far has been to discourage such enterprises by the failure to give them sufficient support. Most of the retail business in colored neighborhoods is monopolized by white storekeepers. The reason for this was manifested by the remark of one of these storekeepers, who was at first inclined to regret the turning over of the neighborhood to colored residents. But after the fact had been accomplished he became all smiles again as he pronounced them "the best spenders." The high points of 1925 were scored in the fields of literature and art and music. We must see that the score of achievement for 1926 does not ignore the equally important field of economic improvement in the matter of business and employment HIGH POINTS OF ACHIEVEMENT up the development of the African in America closed the realization of the control but has made and is making generation traces brought together the year has with nesses introduced recognition of the literature art making Negro for their own a native productions in the sun time and man the interpreters for present As for McCarrie Smith an the some seventy or one the rule that the de the are He said encement develop strugge line poetry and me Black elaborated his seven studies of the American life has seen the effect that the American life and the drawbacks the New set in the life velpion in the industry of the le freer with the well or enjoy cultural America as a of living ideal and an examine the tolerance and hope of our Much to be sure tified in racial achievement have out Roland Hayes the jubilee of H.

This is the same number as in 1924 that ear having marked the minimum record being seventeen less than in 1923 and forty-one less than 1922. At last year's lynchings two of the victims were insane while three had been charged by the courts after a formal trial. Three others lynched were taken from the custody of officers of the law. Two of the victim of the mob were burned at the stake and one was burned after he had been put to death. All officers at the law however neck's surrender to the mob in thirty nine cases' unchings were prevented by either detaining or outwitting the mob seven of these cases were in northern States and the remainder in the south. In the seven cases armed force was used to repel the attack. Another encouraging feature was the effort made some instances to punish the lynchers which resulted in three cases in the indictment of persons charged with having been members of the mob. Of the forty-one persons thus brought into twenty-one were sentenced though the punishment seemed weakly inadequate. The suspended sentences dependent on the hat or of from four to twelve months on the road, one of thirty days, and of tenteen or six months on the road to eight years in the penitentiary. The moral effect of tamping mob activity is something gained. Mississippi held the lead in the number of lynchings with six to its record. Florida and Georgia had each two. One each was charged against Alabama Arkansas Louisiana Missouri Utah and Virginia. This record is still too great a there should be no lynching at all a more pretending in need of government action to that effect is evidently growing the South as the Associated Press sent a news dispatch that "the year that closed last night was the THE NEW YORK AGE DUBIOUS TALE ABOUT HAITI DURIOUS TALE ABOUT HAITI Several weeks ago the Atlanta Independent published a story under a Washington date line, with a scarehead running across the page, to the effect that 'Haitian Republic Rejects Negro Minister.' The story was evidently inspired to serve as an alibi for the failure of the administration to appoint a successor to the late Minister Blanchard who was found dead in a Canadian hotel, although his usefulness had been reduced to the function of special work in the State Department at Washington The statement that the Haitian Government has served notice on the American Government that "a Negro Ambassador from the United States to their country will be persona non grata" is an absurdity that smacks of an inspired utterance originating in the autocratic rule of the High Commissioner who now runs Haitian affairs. The present Haitian Government which has as its nominal head President Louis Borno, was put into power by the force of American marines and machine guns. It is dominated and controlled by the American High Commissioner, Brigadier General Russel who probably would object to the appointment and installation into the American Legation at Port-au-Prince of any American as minister, particularly if that minister was of the Negro race What we cannot understand about this publication is how Editor Benjamin Franklin Davis of the Atlanta Independent could lend himself, unwittingly of course to serve as a medium for the propagaton of such a slander upon the Haitian people, whose true sentiments could not be voiced by their present rulers who are only allowed to express such sentiments as their American overlords approve As Senator King of Utah advocated in the Senate last month, the American occupation of Haiti should be ended and the marines and other interlopers recalled. The Haitian people should be given the opportunity to install a representative government based on popular vote so that they can express their true sentiments. In the meantime no credit should be given such malicious publications as the letter printed in the Independent, which is plainly intended to deceive the American people and work to the advantage of the American Occupation and the various color prejudice imposed by it upon the Haitians OPPORTUNITIES FOR SERVICE One of the last acts of Police Commissioner Enright before leaving office was to appoint a batch of new police women for the special duty of supervising public dance halls and other resorts as a protection to the numerous girls and young women who visit such places. The propriety of this action was unquestioned, as such resorts have proved, when under vicious management a trap for the unwary. The only feature that is to be regretted is that among those appointed there were no colored women. The need of qualified women of the race armed with police authority to keep a watchful eye on many of the Harlem resorts which make the patronage of girls and women painfully apparent. The presence as guardians would help to preserve dignity and order and would serve to protect many a too credulous girl from its fluoresce. Women of the adequate physical capacities with cool judgment and world experience should seek to get a place in the eligible society so as to be in need of it. It is an opportunity to meet tea service to the weaker members of the society which should not be neglected. Another opportunity for a real service to the embraced by our men who have studied medicine should be undertaken by the capacity of interne the Haven Hospital. The best step in seeking such appointments is for the candidates to qualify by undergoing the entrance examination. We understand that personality gives a large percentage in making up the passing marks but the candidates have the abilities required they are marked according to them up to the hospital trustees to make such an appointment as they may desire the best interest of the public service. We believe that the new city administration will perceive the issue of adding to the number of women women patrol men at least six to patrol the Harlem district, and will recognize the fact that their usefulness will be augmented if they are Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors The Age Readers' Forum An attempted payroll hold-up in Washington during the holiday, developed a local hero of the race in the person of Andrew Beckett for twenty-seven years an employee of a department store The Washington Fagle said. The national capitol has developed a hero during the past week who has been up to see the President and gone through all the stunts that heroism puts a man through Andrew Beckett was born with the stuff in him that makes men great. He did not realize it until the other day when three black bandits nabbed him Beckett had $0,000 in his possession, to pay off the employees at a downtown store. With a forty-five staring us in the face, we are inclined to believe that permitting the thugs to have the money would have been a mere circumstance to us. Not so with Beckett. At the risk of attending his own funeral, he seized the weapon of the man covering him, took it away from him shot him and then shot the robbers who were rapidly retreating with the money. So merchants of the city are making up a purse for the defender of the pay roll. It should be a big one. There is every reason to believe that Andrew Beckett will have a tremendous Christmas. That is the sort of action that should discourage banditry on city streets. Nevertheless Beckett was fortunate in that the bandit did not show first. Discussing the need for public education in Virginia the North Journal and Guide said Certainly the state should find a way to aid the University of Virginia to maintain its softs prestige among American institutions of higher learning but let no one conclude that higher education is suffering at the expense of elementary education in Virginia. The commonwealth has a long way to go in both directions. It is distressing to neglect higher education suicides in elementary education. There had for though Mr. Wad dell's assertion that 95 percent of the children of Virginia have never had a ghost of a chance ever to attend one of the state supported colleges.

In another place in the same paper, it is pointed out that the decline of crime among Negroes in North Carolina is coincident with the improvement of school facilities Virginia might profit by the example of a sister State. According to the St. Luke Herald, Richmond ranked as with among the cities contributing toward the defense fund for the Sweet case in Detroit. It said The leading cities in the drive are in the following order, with the amounts subscribed and paid in New York City, $279313 Philadelphia $27550 Chicago $1760 Cleveland $1000 District of Columbia $95979 Richmond $95067 Northern California $50000. The remaining contributions are less than $500. The announcement of the showing made by Richmond has awakened enthusiasm in the local branch that has not been enjoyed within the last three or four years and with the renewal of its activities here there will come interesting and effective programs to be worked out where and how they will affect the greater number of Negroes in Richmond in an earnest attempt to right some outstanding wrongs and secure some rights and privileges which have been abridged. This revival of interest in the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Richmond, shows unexpected good may result from enlisting in the fight against evil. Seven out of the eight pages of a recent issue of the Wisconsin Enterprise Blade were devoted to advertisements, the reading matter covering two and a half columns concerning the subscription contest a half column of verses in the place of editorial and less than a column of local items.

She was literally herself and they conversed politely of Conrad and Iben and hand and Pichte and other literary and physical highbrow. Which was a well, but—On the other hand we had an account of an American reporter wanted to interview the president of Switzerland—one of the smaller like Liberia. Falling to find the president in the executive offices—in law, believe, falling to find any offices—he finally knocked at the door of the president's home, knocked was answered by his wife, being a gingham apron, who told him that he could find her husband at his door, where he worked as a joiner we had it was. Yet Switzerland is a much more nation and immensely further developed, which would seem to be expected for, if not cause for, an easy life devoted to the cultivation of the higher amenities. The conclusion arrived as he was writer was that Liberia's "most need is not working capital but working men." In Our Colored Missions for December appeared an article by United States Senator Wm Cabell Bruce of Maryland, credited to the Catholic Review in which he was quoted as follows "I have never seen a Negro worshper in a white Protestant church since I was a boy when a few former Negro slaves would sometimes occupy seats in the galleries of white Protestant churches, but one does not have to go beyond Maryland to see at times white and colored worshippers assembled under the same roof of the same Catholic Church. Every afternoon on my way from my office to Calvert Station, I observe going in and out of St Francis Xavier Colored Church white Catholics who find in that church a convenient place for their afternoon devotions The effect of these religious contacts is in my opinion, altogether good. They make both whites and Negroes feel that they have a common interest in the most important of all human concerns and that the universal Fatherhood of God and the universal Brotherhood of Man are real things and not mere conventional phrases and they cannot but result in kindlier and friendlier relations between the races than would exist. This statement is intended to form the contention that the Catholic Church is best for the South. Any religion that enforces the practice of the Golden Rule would be good for the South or any other section of the country. the most part following the thoughtless misas The clubs composed of members of my people of Greater New York should have a League, or a Federation of the Clubs with headquarters a live corps of officers and an annual committee.

The pastor delivered a message for the New Year from the text: Joshua 24.15 "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." The sermon was very fitting for the occasion. Sunday school opened at 2 p.m. The lesson was taught with keen interest by a group of well trained teachers. This department is still increasing in number. The Junior B Y P U. had election of officers. At the evening service, Rev. Crutchfield, delivered a great message from the text: "For unto you a child is born." He was at his best. The sermon was well outlined and interestingly discussed. The offering amounted to $484.59 Rush Memorial Church The first anniversary services of the Junior Church began at ten o'clock last Sunday morning. A large number of children, their guardians and parents assembled in the Chapel and listened to Dr Oliver as he delivered to them a few timely remarks, and then proceeded to elect officers for the encing year. After this, the Junior Choir, about 26 in number, and fully vested, entered into the regular services in the main auditorium, and rendered most appropriate music throughout the entire program. Mrs Walters who is the directress-organist of this organization, is doing a great work with the boys and girls. Their renditions of two anthems displayed a fine exhibition of art and talent. This is the outgrowth of a nucleus formed about two years ago, by Dr Oliver, assisted by Miss Cummings, who is the Class Leader of all the Junior members of the church, during their probationary period, and last Sunday mes made their debut in their cossacks and caps. Dr Oliver interested his congregation from text, Rev 21.5, Subject "Spiritual Renewal." It was very appropriate for the beginning of the New Year, and if his hearers were to practice the advice given them, they will all be much happier and better off in every way at the close of 1926. At the holy communion services in the afternoon Rev Dutton, pastor of Carmel A M F. Church New Rochelle preached a beautiful sermon on "He that dwelleth in the secret places of the most High shall abide in the Tabernacle of our God." A large number of members were present at this celebration. Rev Adam Jackson delivered the evening sermon "His Name Shall Be called Wonderful."

Church New Year Sunday at Grace Church was an unusual event. Rev. J. G. Carr was the pastor preached a sermon that was appropriate and helpful. He used the text. Behold I set before you an open door that no man can shut for them last a little strength etc. Rev. J. R. The open door the preacher called greatly the little strength was called the point of beginning. The opportunity of the New Year and the power to begin utilizing them set forth in a unique and impressive fashion. The sermon left a good impression upon all worshipers Miss Rene Stadtch at 106 West 11th street united with the church having been baptised after having con- tinued faith in Christ. At the afternoon service the pastor preached to the Inlys Fellow- ship Herbera White president. The Church rendered a short program before the sermon. At 8 p.m. the pastor spoke from 2 Thessaloman U.S. The Lord directe them in the love of God. It was a good sermon to a much smaller group than the morning service. Mrs Louise Murray and Charles Henry Hazard united with the church. The preliminary stages for the rally of the states, a common last Sunday and Governors were assigned to states. The watch night services were the best the church was able to do. The feeling was presented to the post in recognition of faith during the day. St Paul Bantist Church The Christmas exercises of the Sunday school were held on Tuesday night, December 20. The large tree was beautifully decorated and illuminated by defiant hands of Messrs. Roberts, Warren, Doughtry and Stratton and Vera Langa, Palge, Moore, Hall Thomas, Harris, Warren and others. The programs Where To Go To Church the children taking part made a good showing. Of course, the thing of most interest to the children, was the giving of presents. These consisted of home token, given as an encouragement to those who had been punctual and faithful in attendance. Each person, young or old, was given something, and with it a box of candy and an orange. Every one went away perfectly delighted. Our superintendent, C. K. B. Roberts, with his assistant, J. A. Dougherty, and the teachers, deserve much credit for the successful way in which the school has been conducted. The B. Y. P.

This followed by a general discussion, in which all present took part Miss Dannaymay Deeae, in the absence of Miss Booker, presided at the piano, and rendered solendid service Thursday night the watch night service began at 8:30, conducted by the deacons and deaconesses, which consisted of prayers and testimonies. The people began coming early and continued to come, until at 10 p.m the church was filled. At 10 50 p.m the service was turned over to the pastor who, after reading the scriptures, prayer and noticed had the offering lifted. Followed this, the pastor gave a brief talk, and then extended an invitation to the unconverted and persons with no church home in the city. Several came forward to unite with the church. One remarkable feature about the service was the order that was kept through the armatures of the men ashers, led by their president F. Hamilton. These men did the part well. Friday night, though New Years night, quite a number were out to the prayer meeting and enjoyed themselves in songs and prayer.

Church Dr F A Cullen in his sermon Sunday morning speaking on the proper attitude for the New Year addressed the two classes in the congregation. To the unconverted he sought to show the grandeur of accepting Christ at the start of the year that they might be prosleaved to draw upon His resources. To the christian element he appealed to more righteousness and a stricter observance of the great Christian principles. The text was "Therefore I say unto you take no thought for your life" St Math 6.25 A lazy person can have no part in the Christian program stated Dr. Cullen. The devine plan is for everyone to be busy actively engaged in personifying the Christian virtues. In the past it has been the policy of many christians to depend on luck the minister continued. Here he took occasion to score number playing in church members. In no uncertain time he denounced those members for coming to church solely for the purpose of getting tips to play the following day.

"God's Budget." was an idea used by the pastor to convey the thought that the Master's blessings, including each individual's supply for the year is already planned. Just as when after failing to use a limb for a length of time it becomes useless and finally astrophied so the blessings granted by God when not fully used become utterly useless to no. "God cannot give you any more blessings until you use what you have," he explained. "He gave you blessings last year. He was willing to give you more this year but you must take advantage of these blessings as they are given. At the Lyceum Mrs Nannie Taylor took charge of the First Sunday service and directed the discussion of the topic "Resolutions For The New Year." Joseph Phillips was in charge of the young people's program at the Epworth League. Sunday was a notable day in that it was Communion day, the first Sunday in the New Year, and the beginning of the Revival season. These factors entailed the services to attain great spiritual depths. During the day there were 17 persons that joined the church. 12 to stand for prayer and three converts. The number communed. 825, was the largest yet. Nightly for the next four weeks Res Cullen will lead the members in a Revel that is expected to make great in roads into the stronghold of sin Mother Zina Church Last Sunday marked the beginning of the annual revival at Mother Zion Church Dr W N Holt of Baltimore is the evangelist. Every seat in the new auditorium was filled. Excellent music was rendered by the choir and appropriate selections were sung by the gospel singer. Harold P. Matthews. He was accompanied by Mrs Bertha Des Verney. At the close of the service forty people came forward, thirty of whom joined the church. Others asked for prayers, and later accepted Christ as their personal Saviour. The pastors pulpm guests were Bishop (C Alleyne, Rev. C Taylor, J N Edwards, and Dr Waters. The Junior Church observed its second anniversary in the lecture room at 10:30 a.m. Dr. Brown preached from Joshua 14.4 A New Road. During the two years that the church has been organized it has grown from a small group of 85 children to a congregation of over 250 members—ages ranging from 4 to 17. Sunday school convened at 2 p.m. At the close of the sturdy period, Dr. Holt addressed the members of the Sunday school, and fifty juniors came forward and made a decision for Christ.

They also sang "Rocked in the cradle of the Deep," and two. other collections by special requests from the audience. The songs and the beat and earnestness with which they were sung played upon the emotions of the hearers with telling effect and even when the singers had ceased the atmosphere was still electrified with the power of the songs. This is what the Negro Spiritual will do when ever sung, but when they are sung as John Brown, Byrd, John Shelly, Rufus Pugh and Ed Armstrong the latter being the director, sang them, you will indeed be lifted out of yourself The sermon by the pastor in the morning was. A Prayer for the New Year, taken from Psalms 17:5 "Hold up my goings in thy paths that my foot steps slip not." A prayer for more religion in business and more business in religion Realizing the power of God, reasoning in the spiritual world. Living a practical religion realizing only God can hit us up into His way were some of the points brought out by the speaker. The theme in the evening was taken from Exodus 12:26 "Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp and said "Who is on the Lord's side?" let him come unto me." The Lord's side was able and emphatically portrayed by the pastor. Miss Evelena Brown and Mrs Alma Reed at 239 West 128th street united with the church at the close of the morning service and Mrs and Mrs J F Hammard at 158 West 141st street united with us in the evening.

Hill will preach next Sunday Newman Memorial Church The subject of Rev T W Cooper's sermon "Sunday morning was Risking all for Christ." It was an appeal to all to make this the watchword for the New Year. A splendid congregation filled the church to listen to this able sermon and many were impressed to make it the standard by which they would govern their lives. Miss Rebecca Williams superintendent of the Bible School was delighted with the large attendance of children and adults At 7 p.m. the Epworth League service was conducted by Mrs Julia Page. 4th vice president. The subject. What does the Epworth League mean to the Church was introduced with a few remarks by Rev. H Williams after which a young man recently graduated from Hampion Institute. Mr Young made a short but interesting address Mrs Hinton and Mrs Bascom Cummings played piano selections. At 8 p.m. Dr. Cooper preached a short but interesting section from the subject "A Call to Service." The text was taken from Col. 124. Knowing that of the Lord we shall receive the reward of the inheritance for ye serve the Lord Christ. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered and during the service two members were added to the church Bridge Street A. M. E. Church The Open Door was the subject of the morning discourse of the pastor, Dr Edward E. Tyler. The text was, Revelation 12.20. Behold I stand at the door and knock. It is an man hear my voice and open the door. I will come into him and I will up with him and he with me. Dr Tyler stressed the point that Jesus was willing to come into our lives but there must be an attitude of willingness on our parts also. The services were well attended. The sermon seemed to arouse the congregation to a high pitch of religious fervor. Upon the conclusion of the sermon five persons joined the church. Over $36 was taken as an after collection which was to go toward the fund that is being raised for the defense of Dr. Sweet and other defenders in the Detroit Mich case. Miss Ruth Ellis was the attraction at a morning service. She is a dramatic reader of rare abilities and recited The Raven and The Burial of Moses" in a very effective manner. These readings were preceded by a ten minute talk by the assistant pastor the Rev Mr. Coleman. The person joined the church.

Between the two games there was dancing, with music furnished by Fletcher Henderson and Hig Orchestra. Alpha drew first blood to four goal shot by Polhert, followed by a field goal. Soon after, the Omega machine started to work and when the half ended they had piled up 17 points to Alphas 7.

Little Evelyn Williams Danced For Hotel Guests North Adams, Mass.—Little Miss Evelyn Williams, daughter of Mr and Mrs Chester Williams of this city, gave an exhibition of juvenile dancing at an entertainment held in the Richmond Hotel, the leading hostelry in this place, on New Years' Eve Night, that won her the constant praise of all the guests present. In reporting the affair, the Transcript, also the leading newspaper of the city, commented favorably on her performance. In connection with the paper's commenting, it was of passing notice to some of Mr Williams' friends, who do not reside in Massachusetts, that the appellation of "Mass" was applied to the child. The title didn't add anything to the little girl's performance, in the opinion of those friends, only that it presented such a contrast from that which is usually given the colored child in the Southern, and even the New York daily papers. Little Evelyn has ambition to be come some day a premere dansseuse Her father, besides being chief stewards of the fashionable Berkshire Club of North Adams, is leader of the William's Orchestra, the only colored one in the city. His orchestra played for the entertainment at which his daughter danced.

After the priaries consisting of appropriate priests by the choir reading the scripture lesson and prayer the past dispensed with the usual text and broad handed the members of his church a good old fashioned timely and practical family talk on how they should try to behave themselves during the present year. From the unusual number of responses to his advice was very manifest that it was received and appreciated. After the innuition the pastor announced the lady of the church had prepared a feast in the Sabbath school auditorium to which everyone present was invited to partake of. Therefore after the benefaction the congregation repaired to the auditorium where was found everything edible to satisfy the inner man and for that matter the inner woman as soon. This was the occasion of the annual reunion of the membership of the St Matthew's Methodist Episcopal Church and was great relief to everyone fortunate to be present. Perhaps the occasion of the area in entertainment was the occasion has one of the few who entertained their friend in the beautiful home of ```markdown ``` Mrs. C. E. Craig in Gorrell street. The home was attractively decorated, the color scheme being green and red. The affair was largely attended not only by local but out-of-town guests from Salisbury, Sedalla, Durham, High Point and Winston-Salem. Here was gathered beauty and chivalry, "while the bright lamps shown o'er fair women and brave men, A hundred hearts beat happily and when Music arose with its voluptuous swell. Soft eyes, looked love to eyes which spoke again And all went merry as a marriage-bell." Those who didn't care to "shake the toe," whined away the evening in games. At the close of entertainment, punch and other refreshments were served Mrs Lillian Simkins is president of the club The night of December 17 about 10 o'clock, fire broke out in that part of the Garland Daniel building, 100-102 Lafayette street in which Capt. D J Gilmer on the first floor was conducting three different kinds of business, viz., drug, cafe and barber shop; while overhead, on the second floor, Mrs. C E Craig was proprietress of a hotel, which she had been managing for over 25 years. The fire was very damaging and disastrous as Capt. Gilmer sustained a loss from it amounting to around $13,000, with little or no insurance, while Mrs Craig's loss was about $1,200, with no insurance. A score of workmen are now fast repairing the damage, so it won't be long before the Captain and Mrs Craig will again be in position to serve their many friends once more in their respective lines.

Last year I was in the midst of Young China and was listening again and again to its cry as it pleaded for patience and for hearance, asking that time should be given for setting her house in order for getting rid of the new opium addiction which was bring China to war and for ending the rivalries of the military leaders. They told me that Young China was solid in determination not to take bribes, not to use opium and not to have to do with the scandalous military brigands. But the hindrances offered to reforms by the foreign powers were driving Young China to despair. At every turn their hands were tied by the antiquated treaties which had been imposed upon China in her weakness. These are now being ruthlessly exacerbated to the full just when Young China is trying to re-put of this weakness. At every point China was being thwarted all the most favorable positions the wits were held by the foreign guardians under foreign jurisdiction. Every foreigner was able to appeal to its own consul against any attempt at a motion brought by Chinese and thus escape justice. The extra-traumatic rights were creating havoc everywhere in the system of Chinese administration and setting up an impatient imperium. "I rarely I have been told in a letter by one of the greatest Englishmen resident in China that the Chinese young men have been swapped in different directions in different sources. First came the same in Japan which seemed to tell him to increase her military strength she wanted to get free from foreign forces. But the truth is that she had the conservative instincts, the militarism and non-aggressive lives. If she were to try to undertake a Chinese military move in history she would not succeed. Therefore young China has not been moved by this move from Japan. Then came Bertrand Russell with his historic realist rationalism and his treatise *The Deregard for all ancient religions*. Young China his treasured him with the deepest respect, and a section of the people were ready to learn him. But his diretness did not harm him with the conservative instinct in the Chinese people and their piety towards family ancestors, which took the form of re-gowns, their minds, held them back from accepting his teaching there, through an important section of the church, and lamented to Bertrand with the great bulk of the students were so seriously moved by his appeal. After that came the poet from India, Pallu Tappan. His appeal was a call to action and he pled the power of the earth to abolish the power of the material world whether on the East or the West. He declared with the use of a statement Irish or prophet path to the righteousness was the cause of his suicide. Any nation making prosperous weight for the future is the search for matter.

"A second voice from India has appealed to Young China, the voice of Mahatma Gandi Young China realises that Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindra Nath Figure tell really the same story, and utter the same truth namely that the spirit is the conqueror over the body. But up to the present, Young China has not been able to listen clearly, either to the voice of the poet of India, or to Mahatma Gandhi himself. "One more voice has come to Young China with even louder accent It comes accros the great steppes of Siberia from Russia At present, the voice is one which is judged with suspicion, because Russia for a whole century past has been the terrible foe of China, from whom there had been no escape Yet the new voice of Russia, the Russia of the revolution of 1917, declares emphatically that the days of imperialism are over and that every territory which was taken from China wrongfully by Imperial Russia under the Caesar will be faithfully handed back to China by Russia of the Revolution Little by little this voice is finding its way into the hearts of the Young Chinese The suspicion, that I have mentioned, is still exceedingly strong, and I found, when I was in that country last year that very few are ready to accept the Russian promise The majority still feared everything that came from a Russian source Yet today many are beginning to listen to this voice from Russia as a new Gospel "I have tried in this manner to out line with rapid strokes the mind of Young China in its present confusion The sudden thing of all to me is this that the voice of India, which I believe has the true message to give, the same message which Buddha gave to China of old, it too weak to make itself effectively heard and clearly understood." Definition Of Swara (Self Rate) from India Once again has a provincial Conference carried a resolution recommending to Congress, to define the word Bwara in Article One of the Congress Constitution as "Full Independence outside the British Empire."
