It would appear to be obvious said Mr. Marshall that where a legislature is prohibited from sanctioning a particular policy, individuals may not enter contracts or direct negation of the same policy. Surely that which a legislature cannot sanction should not be enforced to be done by a degree, a sort of equity enforcing speech performance of an agreement between third parties which is equivalent to such legislation and its product in industrial results.

Two connecting corridors have been made by which one can go to and from one building to the other without being exposed to the weather either element or inclement. One door opens from the main building lobby, affording entrance to the lobby and office of the residence building, and another connecting link is placed downstairs in the cafeteria, opening into a spacious room in the new building which is to be used both as accommodation for overflow patrons from the present cafeteria and for special private groups who want private quarters for the meeting and eating. The main entrance to the new building opens directly from 137th street into a lobby that is spacious and elegant and which is finished in a quiet restful tone, with that is gracious and attractive.

Provided Patrol Wagon And in order to facilitate the trip for their guests. O cers Kline and Hunter provided three police patrol wagons for their accommodation and they were taken over in the latest police style. Levy, himself, did not appear to be in evidence, but a David Cohn gave his name as being the proprietor, and he was booked on a charge of maintaining a gambling house. It is alleged that the officers succeeded in getting hold of a box containing many "numbers" slips and a large sum of money which had been paid in by the alleged players, and that this box was vital evidence as to the operations carried on by Levy and his hephmen at 1106. Cohn is reported to have considerable squawk at being raided, as it is said he declared that he had just paid $100 each to two white detectives who made an earlier call, and who promised "protection" from such unwanted visits as that of Kline and Hunter. Cohn was much put out, it is said, because the desired "protection" was not in evidence. Roll of Prisoners. The honor roll of the "guests" who made the enforced call upon Captain Mulrooney and later were arraigned in the "Washington Heights Court on charges of possessing policy slips and with indulging in loud, profane and vulgar language is as follows: Enough Evidence Is In U.

Notwithstanding these arrests, it is said that Levy has in no way lessened the scope of his operations. In fact it is asserted, that the postlocking of his place at 503 Lenox avenue led indirectly to the opening of at least three other places, possibly four. For he is said to have acquired the pseudo cigar store at 114 West 135th street, which was raided under its former proprietor, and at which place a police officer was stationed daily until recently. Here he has been dispensing hooch for some weeks. Then he anticipated the padlocking proceedings by opening at 106 West 136th street, and it is alleged, also that he is operating with the utmost boldness the place at 582 Lenox avenue, formerly operated by Hyman Kassell. To this place, it's reported, hooch is boldly brought in boxes similar to those used by clothiers in delivering men's suits, and tini and carboys of alcohol are handled with the same carelessness and unconcern as if they contained the most harmless and lawful liquid. And now it is charged that he has leased through his associate Goldgraben, the newsstand located at northwest corner of 136th street and Lenox avenue, on the 135th street side, formerly operated by a colored man named George Carr which he has turned ostensibly into a boot black stand, but which covers in this way its real purpose, i.e. the making of handbooks for the receiving of bets on horse races at the various tracks. In close proximity to Levy's new place at 106 West 136th street are two ocular places, where it is said the "numbera" banking is just about as lucrative a proposition as is the hooch selling which is supposed to be the main proposition. A new wrinkle in the "numbers" business is the opening of these headquarters in which the plays are made direct with the bankers or their salaried employee, and this enables the occasional winner to receive the full amount of his 600 to 1 profit, instead of having the usual 10 per cent deducted by the runner or collector. Of course, this is added inducement to the player, and serves its purpose of drawing customers from other bankers whose runners still retain the 10 percent, when the rare hit is made. But it is pointed out that the banker who takes these plays direct saves also the 20 or 25 per cent. commission paid to the runner or collector, and that this saving is made on every play received. Whereas it is only the occasional player who makes a hit, and this makes it an insignificant gon the banker is holding out so flamboyantly. Every morning, until around 10 o'clock, scores of men and women may be seen flocking into these places to make their daily play on the "numbers" and most of them, while in the place patronise the hooch counter as well. So the bootlegging banker gets his customer's safety ways, going and coming THE TERRY HOLDING CO., Inc. WATT TERRY, President Announce the Removal of their Office from 202 West 140th Street to 2380 Seventh Avenue Corner 139th Street That the 135th Street Branch, Y. M. C. A. under its present management does not measure up to its opportunity for service to the community is set forth in a record of impressions upon a frequent visitor, who has had similar opportunity through contact to judge of the manner in which the executive secretary, Thomas E. Taylor, and his immediate staff of co-workers bear themselves toward the men and boys for whose benefit the institution is primarily instituted. This particular visitor has set down consecutively his reactions to the functions of the executive staff with regard to Staff, Equipment, Service, Attitude and the Class of Attendance. The outstanding impression seems to be a lack of sympathetic corice between members of the staff and patrons of the Y, and that this unisympathetic atmosphere hampers the general usefulness of the institution. It is recalled that last November there was a campaign for increase of the Y membership in an effort to reach a wanted roster of 1,200 and to raise $5,000. It has not been made public as to whether these marks were met or not and it is believed that if failure was met it it was largely because of a feeling imputed to the public that the usefulness of the executive secretary has been impaired through charges made against him sometime ago in connection with alleged improper association with a member of his staff, and through domestic infliccities. There have been also a number of complaints that the general atmosphere in the Y is one of frigidity, with a lack of, courtey and consideration, an part of the attendants. These are all referred to, in the record of impression written down by the visitor, who expresses himself as follows: Alabama Zionists Are Making Fine Progress Mobile, Ala.-The West Alabama Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church, the largest conference of the Tenth Episcopal District, has gone over the top this year, with banners of victory unfurled to the breeze, with Bishop William Jacob Wall, leading the lifts. The work of the West Alabama Conference has grown that the Church is under leadership that its both young and intelligent. New church buildings are being erected in every presiding elder district, hundreds of new members are being added constantly to the church, while the finances of the church are away over the top. At the Conference recently held at Whistler, Ala., the following facts were brought out: that the good people of Big Zion A. M. E. Zion Church of Mobile, the largest Zion Church in the South, under the direction of their pastor, Dr. J. R. White, has renovated their church at a cost of nearly $7,000, making it the most beautiful of any church edifice in all the Southland, regardless of denomination; that the congregation of Twin Beech A. M. E. Zion Church, Palmheo, Ala., a rural community, had, under the direction of their pastor, Rev. A. N. Bennett, constructed a stone church that matches well any city church and excels by far any rural church to be found in this section of the country; that Rev. Dr. A. Shinn, pastor of Hope Chapel A. M. E. Zion Church at Mobile, has led his people in the erection of a beautiful-bungalow parsonage; and that the membership at Pilgrim Rest A. M. E. Zion Church Whistler, directed by their pastor, Rev. J. H. Norris, had built a new nine-room parsonage; that $7,000 was raised for benevolent, missionary and educational purposes and that $5,000 was raised for other purposes; that there were more than 1,000 accessions and conversions. The sessions of the Conference were graced with the presence of Bishop Benjamin Garland Shaw, of what I was able to use, is comprised of a few looking group of young men. There are five or six of these. I had dealings with who were very unkind in their manner to a stranger. I will mention two of the others who occupy a minor position and some of them really don't know any better. The two have in mind are the Executive and Financial Secretaries. (a) The executive is not open for approach and advice to young men I found him a bit snobbish. The financial secretary is simply ton heavy. Job is too big. II. Equipment The equipment is one of the best in the country for colored people. The question is, why are they not used by more men? Why aren't more men taking advantage of such an ideal place and location. Whose is the blame? III. C Service "I noticed the service of the men in all departments. I find that the men who meet the strangers first on a whole are very unkind. Their approach is not as cordial as that of a hotel clerk, since they are not expecting a tip. IV. Attitude "The attitude of the staff is rather cold and idiflanti! When a 'mart walks into the lobby, especially a stranger they simply stare at him as if he had no business in there." V. Class, of Attendance "The class of men who attend the "Y" seem to be men who have made their way or know just what they want to do, but the poor Yellow who is struggling does not get the benefit of this fine place. Now whose is the blame Why this mass of men are not reached? Is the kind of personality behind the yhee? Is the kind of character controlling affairs? the Eighth Episcopal District; by Bishop Cameron C. Alleyne of the Twelfth Episcopal District; and by Dr. W. H Davenport, editor of the Star of Zion.

Ark.—In this city which a Negro once owned a hard track and this city street car system Negro business is experiencing a period of prosperity and expansion unequaled in history. During the past year a tailor shop, summer park, barber shop, garage, billiard parlour two groceries and an insurance company have been established and are doing a good business. A building and Joan association is being organized. None of these businesses have the carmarks of the usual Negro business. They are completely finished and equipped. College Park, a sub-division of some fifteen acres adjoining the new 160 acre farm of the Agricultural Mechanical and Normal School, formerly Branch Normal College, is being built up with homes. Its close proximity to the New A. M. and N. College, in which an initial investment of $550,000 has been made assures the neighborhood of proper surroundings. Meilvin T. Moore, a Tuskegee graduate and instructor in tailoring at the A. M. and N. School, has opened a merchant tailor shop on State street, one of the most prominent streets of the city. Three tailors are employed and no pressing of clothes is done. A. L. Evans has opened a sanitary barber shop, complete in every detail, with baths, manicurists, a special department for ladies, cigar stand, etc. Mr. Evans is a teacher in the local state school. Ben Howard, stock broker, has opened a high class summer, resort near the western limits of the city. One of the most beautiful garages and filling stations in the Southwest has been opened by R. E. Malone, superintendent of the A. M. and N. School. The building is 30x140 feet. It is fully appointed and located on Barraque street, one of the main thoroughfares of the city. The building has been leased to the Super-Service Company, a white organization which leases and runs garages. John Young is the owner of one of the finest billiard parlors in the city. Eight fine tables have been installed. Other new businesses are the Domesite Life Insurance Co., of Louisville, Ky., which merged with the company formerly owned by J. M. Rhone, who remains as district superinendent. And two thriving grocery businesses have been opened by William Banks and Edward Jones. Mr. Jones took over the business formerly operated by V. W. Greene, a retired, who was a business at this address for twenty-five years. Chairman Butler Denies President Upholds South Boston, Mass.—At an audience with Senator W. M. Butler in his Boston offices by a delegation representing the National Equal Rights League and the Greater Boston Ministerial Alliance which again was asking the National Republican Chairman to stop federal segregation Attorney Edgar P. Benjamin told Senator Butler that the proviso in the President's recent message about not interfering with the usages of enlightened society meant no interference with Southern race proscription. Mr. Benjamin, eminent lawyer and local bank president, is the donor at the $25 in gold, first prize offered by the League for the best race slogan of under 15 words received before February 1 at its headquarters, 9 Cerhill, based on 1926 as the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence which promised equality, life and liberty, Rev. D. S. Klug, chairman of the delegation, Rev. Benj. W. Swain, vice president of league, Attorney Albert G. Wolff, local league secretary, Mrs. Heser Jeffrey, Col. E. B. Barco of the K. P., Rev. C. C. Somerville, Rev. J. W. Hill, Lawrence Banks were in the delegation. Senator Butler insisted the President's message was misunderstood. He had his secretary bring in a copy of the message. He said the false interpretation would be counteracted.

Phone Sterling 1856 Bishop Henry J. Tanner of the A. M. Church, has been required for Claflin University, through the interest of Hattersell, who had the pleasure in his possession, and who was the friend and patron of Mr. Tanner in his early days when the artist was struggling for recognition. The painting is a marine view, depicting an approaching storm; and it is a potable producing, complemental will, another of Mr. Tanner's paintings recently secured by the New, York Metropolitan Art Museum, "Sodom and Comorah," which shows the fleeing of Lot and his two daughters, mite destroying fire and brimstops of the Lord. Bishop Hartwell wanted Claflin to have possession, of this masterpiece, of the race's greatest artist, and Dr. L. M. Dunton, president-meritus of the school, and Mrs. Dunton paid the first $25 toward a fund of $3,000 for securing the painting. At the annual conference, Bishop Richardson, minister and laymen subscribed liberally, and students and teachers at Claflin are freely giving from their limited resources. Preparations for formal unveiling of the painting sometime this month are going forward and it will be a public function to which the people in general will be invited. Claflin has other paintings of interest and value, the most important being an oil portrait of the late Gen. Robert Gould Shaw painted by Bannister, a Negro artist of years ago, which is hanging in *Lee Library*. Another painting of merit on the library walls was done by Mrs. L. M.

C.—An interesting opportunity is opened to some enegetic, qualified young men of the race who are commercially inclined, through the desire of W. P. Evans, proprietor of the Erans' White Front Department Store, to perpetuate the business which he has conducted for forty years, and which has grown from a small beginning to a $10,000 a year proposition. The White Front Store is said to be the largest department store enterprise owned and operated by a colored man, and is the oldest business now being run in Laurinburg. Mr. Evans, recalling that his days of activity are growing less, and believing that his is too representate a Negro business to end with his individual passing, is looking around for ambitious young men who are able and willing to join him in the forming of a corporation for the conduct of the business, thus lessening the burden of responsibility which is on his shoulders. In talking to The Age representative, Mr. Evans, said: "These long years have been anxious, sell scarcity, and at times sad and discouraging, but yet I pulled through them all. In reviewing the past and considering the frailty of man, made so by relentless toil, I am about to conclude that no man, rich or poor, should bow over his desk or counter, farm or anvil, and lose sight of the Judgment Day, the Cross and the grave. Hence, I feel that for the perpetuation of the Evans' White Front Department Store the responsibility should devolve on younger men.

IMPROVING POLICE METHODS. Police Commissioner McLaughlin who succeeded Commissioner Enright as the head of the force of fourteen thousand men charged with the task of protecting New York's millions of citizens, has evinced a disposition to retain those methods which work for good and to discard those that he finds unessential. In pursuance of this policy he has already made many changes. The special service squad has been disbanded and its members sent back to duty in various precincts. Most of the colored members of this squad have been assigned to the sixteenth precinct station house on West 135th street. While many of them can be utilized to advantage in this precinct, there is no good reason why they should not be distributed in other parts of the city, where their services are needed. There should be no scheme of segregation in the police force, that would restrict the use of these officers to the Harlem district. The colored men who have won their right to wear the uniform and who have proved their ability to cope with the duties of their position, should be alert to put themselves in line for promotion. They should take the examinations necessary for such a step and keep their names on the eligible list, so that this may not be overlooked when the opportunity comes. Officer Battle was one of those who proved his eligibility for promotion to Sergeant although Commissioner McLaughlin jumped him in making his appointments. As we understand that the new commissioner announced his intention of making promotions in the order of merit, Officer Battle may yet get his step upward. As Commissioner McLaughlin is seeking for efficient and faithful officers for the higher posts under his control, we trust that he will not overlook the quality of the service rendered by Captain Edward Mulloney as commander of the Sixteenth Precinct. The efficient manner in which he has handled police matters in this part of Harlem, the strictness of all lawabiding citizens, and the strictness of the servants, will help him as good matter in the future. There is action in crisis. The police force is a whole is a body of competent men intent on performing their multitasking duties as part of the day's work that an occasional drunkard with homicide may or may not be a professional grafter, should give them unpleasant notoriety, and should locate the need of stricter discipline in guarding against the use of liquor and the taking of beers. Grafters and unlicensed men are a menace to the public and public control.

The police force as a whole is a body of competent men intent on performing their multitarious duties as part of the day's work.

He claimed that the Chairman cannot shirk his responsibility toward this section of voters, and that no more efficient work can be done by him 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. This is the kind of talk that is needed among the Republican leaders, and which should arouse County Chairman Koenig to a realization of the facts of the situation There is need for more of the qualities of vision and courage exhibited by Leader Costuma among the Republicans charged with the task of running party matters and building up party strength. The lack of these qualities has resulted in placing the city and county government in the hands of the opposition and decreasing party representation in the legislature. The enormous majority, that was recorded for President Coolidge but a few years ago, has been dissipated and the election of United States Senator and Governor placed in jeopardy. The custom of having the colored members of the county committee in districts like the Nineteenth and Twenty-first select the colored associate leaders was founded on wise principles of justice and responsibility. The departure from this by Leader Conklin, was based on a desire to rid himself of the need to pay apy attention to the wishes of his colored constituents. This narrow and prejudiced policy is detrimental to the best interests of the party and can only result in dissension and weakness. Leader Costuma has the right idea as to recognition of the rights of all voters without distinction of race or color. Leadership in such districts as the Nineteenth and Twenty-first must be made a fifty-fifty proposition, with regard to recognition and in the distribution of political patronage. TO EXTEND THE RENT LAWS. The extension of the rent laws adopt to relieve the hardships of tenants in New York and other large cities seems now assured by the present Legislature. Both Republicans and Democrats have introduced bills extending these laws for two years; the real estate interests represented at A.M.any announced their willingness to agree an extension of six months, if the Legislature would undertake an investigation of present conditions, upon which to frame new law less strict in its provisions. Amblyman Grenthal of Harlem is the author of one of the bills providing for extension, while Senator Nicoll sponsored a similar measure in the upper house. Governor Smith in his message to the legislature referred to the purpose of the emergency rent laws which were first issued in 1920, for the protection of tenants from unjust exactions on the part of landlords. These laws were extended in 1930 upon recommendation of the Housing Commission but will expire next month unless extended. The Governor asserted that the emergency rent laws, in the last analysis, do not go to the heart of the housing density and recommended further legislation to provide wholesome and sanitary housing for the people. This would take the form of a state aid for housing and enactment of laws permit municipalities to lend their credit to the construction of modern dwellings upon square blocks at a time when a alternative plan suggested was the establishment of a State Housing Bank similar to the Federal Land Bank. The enactment necessary amendments to the State Constitution was advised to further such plans might be adopted. Whether the Governor's recommendation to State aid is adopted by the Legislature, not, it would require at least three years to amend the constitution and secureification by popular vote. In the meantime the private capital may have provided such additional housing as to relieve the situation less prevented by the high costs of housing. During this period the protection is needed by the emergency rent laws will be needed to prevent undue profiteering of real estate owners and agents. Tenants should urge upon their representatives in the Legislature the necessary immediate action in extending the emergency rent laws. They are still needed as a curb upon extortionate landlords andasping agents.

Borah of Idaho occupies a conspicuous position in public affairs. Representing one of the Western mining states of small population and of minor importance as a financial factor Senator Borah radical views and fearless expression of them has made him widely known at home and abroad. His position as chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations makes his influence felt in the foreign policy of this government. Besides opposing this country's adhesion to the World Court he has advocated the recognition of the Soviet Republic of Russia and urged the ending of the American occupa- In a recent interview with Herman Bernstein, printed in the New York World, Senator Borah gave his views on various phases of international relations, one of the most striking significance being the danger of a conflict between the two civilizations of the white and colored races. In answer to a question based on a statement made by Romain Rolland, that while there need be no fear of any new conflict in Europe, the great danger is the approaching clash between two civilizations—the white and colored races, Senator Borah was reported as answering: "I think the distinguished writer has properly accentuated the tremendous importance of our giving attention to increasing antagonism between the two races. I do not believe, however, it is necessary to look upon the situation as meaning inevitable war. If the white races are willing to treat the colored races in a fair and equitable way and treat them as nations as equals, my opinion is that they are the last people who want war. "But I am quite sure that the white races must adopt a different policy toward the colored races than that which has obtained in the past. Exploitation and imperialism bring war. The teachings of the World War sank deep into the hearts of the colored races. When we said we were fighting the war for democracy and for the right of all peoples to choose their own form of government, they at least believed it. We should live up to our pledges." The declaration by so clearheaded and fearless a stateman as Mr Borah that a different policy must be adopted toward the colored races is significant and should command the attention of his associates in the Senate. The policy of exploitation and imperialism practiced so far with impunity in Haiti and San Domingo and to a certain extent in Nicaragua, has not passed without observation by other nations of Central and South America. The extension of American interests into Liberia is bound to result in similar exploitation on the African continent, unless the tendency to grab and subjugate is curbed by a sense of justice and fair dealing. Senator Borah hit close to the truth of the question, when he said that the teachings of the World War in the way of democracy sank deep into the hearts of the colored races. The belief that America wasighting the war for democracy was even shared by Negroes in the United States, though much was done during its progress and at its close to dispel that idea Nevertheless, Mr Borah is right in urging the United States to live up to its pledges. His position in this matter is evidently based on abstract principles of right and justice, as he comes from a state where the colored state is a negligible factor and he has never posed a friend of the race. As an endorsement of the position taken by its chairman the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations should report the resolutions on Haiti introduced by Senator King Utah and urge their passage. One of these resolutions relates to the activities of Brigadier General Russell the American high Commissioner who runs the Haitian Government. The other resolution calls upon the President to withdraw the naval forces and set Haiti free from external interference. That would be a practical step toward world democracy.

A MICHIGAN COURT DECISION An important decision hearing upon the right to buy property regardless of any straint put upon its sale on account of color was recently handed down by the Supreme Court of Michigan. The case in which this question was raised was a suit brought by two real estate dealers of Muskegon against Wilbratt and Auxie Barrett, white, and Wilson Robinson, a Negro who purchased the property involved. The real estate men had sold the lot to one Louis Parent, white who in turn sold it to the Barretts. The contracts in both cases specified that the property should not be sold to negroes upon penalty of the lots and all improvements reverting to the real estate concern. Upon the sale of the property to Robinson on the real estate people brought suit to the Circuit Court where a verdict was rendered against them. The decision was affirmed by the State Supreme Court.

Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors The Age Readers' Forum so purchased, there would seem to be no valid obstacle either in law or in equity. This decision of the Michigan Supreme Court may be taken as another indication of the tendency of the courts to decide legal questions on their merits, waiving aside all considerations of race or color.

The Negroes made them Mr Pearson gave twenty-five thousand dollars to Kittrell Mr. Avery followed with a large contribution Mr Duke seeing what these men were doing themselves to aid their group followed with his million. There is a lesson here and a moral It is a verification of the saying that the Lord helps those who help themselves. The use of the larger gutt for additional buildings is expected to place Kittrell College next in size to Hampton and Tuskegee. On the testimony of a former secretary to the President, the Denver Star asserts that the Presidency is not such a hard job if you don't worry. It continued No one wants to see Coogidge break down. And according to Slemp, there isn't any danger of it No appointments are made for the President after 1 o'clock in the afternoon, unless he especially requests. He takes a nap every day after lunch and he is tucked away in bed every night at ten o'clock A man would have to add a lot of worry to his work if he suffered from overwork on that schedule. And he sides there another item which Slemp wasn't free to mention at the time of his departure In addition to his long night's sleep and his daily nap Coolidge gets his regular exercise through a brisk canter on his stom horse. He has put on eight pounds since he went to live in the Whit House. His work isn't wearing him down. The Star hopes that President Coolidge will abolish Jim Crowism in Washington soon.

Carver's article on "The Spartan Source for our Future Vegetable Drink" and a message by Mr. S. L. Moitrow What a Miner Should Do after a Fire or explosion in the Mine." The following judicial innovation in a Kentucky court was announced in the news columns of the Louisville American Baptist Under a pre-election pledge, Judge R. E Watkins, who was re-elected Judge of the City Court of Owensboro, Ky., in November will allow colored persons arranged before that Court to have the choice of white or colored juries to try their cases. Already a panel of colored persons for jury service has been selected. If a jury composed of fair minded citizens resolved to determine the issues at stake on the evidence presented, the color of its members should be immaterial. We would be interested in learning the results of this experiment. If enough colored juries are demanded, it may afford useful training in jury service to this class of citizens. The veracious editor of the Philadelphia Christian Recorder recounted this history of "Four Neighbors," as a story with a moral On a certain street four persons lived side inside in adjoining houses. Sixteen years ago the first moved in the street paid about $30 a month rent. Then came a young married couple who paid a few hundred dollars down on the house and about $32 per month to purchase it. A little later another couple come up from the South, and after much startled to buy the third house. And a little later still another party who had come also from the South started to purchase. I wouldn't have met these old harms and the first neighbor I could buy this shack for $4000 on easy payments, but I would not have it! she continued. Sixteen years passed since the first neighbor came on the street. They are now about to scatter Neighbor No. 4 old her house for $22 500, and is fixed for life. Neighbor No. 2 sold her for $1,000, while No. 1 who has been in years renting can even carry off a brick when by a little foresight she might have sold her property (had she had sense enough to buy it for $4,000) for anywhere from $18,000 to $25,000. But further on counting up, it was seen that Neighbor No. 1 has ac- on down by the police verbatim and forwarded to headquarters, but on see- ing the value of the work that he is doing and the elapsed temper in which he is doing of the government has without pressure conceded per- manent muscle He has gradually but up in the Nation stories a strong Christian teacher has organized Teachers Association for those who are longer in the colleges he has been invited to speak to theVarsity wrote up in colleges in this country and everywhere he goes the impress that he makes is one that brings in to that the fongst regard both for his work and for his work I hope to make it visible for you to see in who he comes to America next and to take a talk with him I sent in a cutting that appeared in one of his daily papers.

Brotherhood Takes Issue With Pullman Stock Sale The potter is given 41 months in time to pay for the stock at the rate of 10 per annil. The money is taken in cash, check or pay in indenture or the low wages the com- panys is paying the porters, for by giv- tually put over $10,000 in rent in the house during these sixteen years which is over twice as much as any one of the buyers paid to own their houses. As an argument in favor of home ownership, the force of this article is apparent. Noting the illegal traffic in poor among colored citizens of Monmouth County, the Red Bank Echo said Before Judge Lawrence at Fremont in the past ten days the following color edilis pleaded guilty to the illegal sale of liquor; State vs. Silas Hass of Long Branch, $100 and costs. State vs. Cliff Hall of Long Branch, $100 and costs. Counsellor Leo Warwick of Long Branch represented Messrs Hass and Hall. He stated to the court that these defendants realized that the National Prohibition Law and the State Hobart act are law and are in force. They have quit the illegal traffic and are now engaged in wage earning vorgames. Mr. Warwick stated. Judge Lawrence cautioned the defendants that he would take commend word as to the truth of their economic employment and that no further leniency will be shown. For the next offense fail terms will be inescapable. This should discourage bootlegger on the other side of the Hudson. Another defendant described as a "jarring preacher," was fined one hundred dollars to be paid at the rate of seventive cents a week under probation for two years. Jersey justice can also be merciful, it seems. Refering to prohibition enforcement, the Des Moines Bystandar made the following comparison. The executive board of the Methodist Episcopal church wants the army used to execute the Volstead Act, while Representative Gallavin of Massachusetts calls these church people every criminal name imaginable. Something is wrong with a law that requires the army to enforce it, but then how the sounds. Every civil right of the Negro guaranteed by state and federal constitutions, is flagrantly violated. No millions are spent to enforce them: no calls for the army and navy to enforce them. Why the difference? A law is a law. The public likes a drunk once in a while even though law-makers use otherwise, the boonleger can make an easy dollar, so the law is not easy crammed down their throats. Semenum against Negroes has been handed down from generations past. It is hard to change. We agree that the laws should be enforced, but if the army should be used for one, why not for the other? What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. The logic of this position is irrefutable. There is no valid argument for the enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment that would not apply to the Fourteenth or Fifteenth.

I timely remarks The evening service was quite inspirational, particularly that it was the communion service; the discourse by the pastor being brief because of this fact. The attendance was fair at this service but in the morning a large congregation was present. The Sunday school was in session at its usual hour. The regular election of officers of the school having taken place previously, each officer was in attendance and manifested much interest for the work in the New Year. The attendance of pupils was fair. The Emancipation program given on last Friday evening under the auspices of the Strangers Club was not as well attended as had been hoped. This is the usual program given in Commemoration of the day on which the Negro was freed from slavery and whenever given should stir the memory of all Negroes, for whether he was freed by accident or not, the fact remains that he is free and that we do owe something to the memory of the happenings of that day.

First Emmauruel Church At the eleven o'clock services Sunday at the close of the last hymn, Pastor Bolden came down and preached to the many assembled. His text was "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven" St. Matthew 5.16. Theme "Our Lord the Emmanuel gives the rule for behaviour and duty for those who have been regenerated and lighted by the Holy Spirit." Pastor Bolden said. That these words of our Lord, as quoted here are taken from a part of the illuminating and memorable sermon delivered to the Apostles and Disciples by our Lord, Matthew says. "And seeing the multitude, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set, his disciples came unto him; and he opened his mouth and taught them. The gospel of blessedness must have been very illuminating and inspiring to the disciples and followers of our Lord, the Emmanuel, for even today a thoughtful reading of the Beautitudes is rapturous; while to meditate upon their contents releases dynamic energy that gives contentment and strengthens the patience in our souls. Sure the Disciples were startled with absurdity the declaration of our Lord the Em Actively, were the salt of the earth and the light of the world, tooth salt and light were regarded then as the most powerful, preserving and curative elements known to man. They are necessary, basic elements for sustaining and quickening the various expressions of the manifestation of organic and animal life. Science today has just begun to tap the wonderful and mysterious beneficial resources and values found through research into these elements, salt and light. Our Lord the Emmanuel puts light in a class to itself when He declares that He is the Light of the World. Those who study Him closely declared that He was the Light of Life, and was that Light sent down from God out of heaven that lightteneth every man that cometh into the world. We can see therefore that the Light, Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, of which it was conditioned upon a human being with a physical body, the light was not physical nor material, but was spiritual and real, making manifest everything that is necessary for the highest expression of life as regards adoration to God our Father and service to our fellow man. When He declared that His Disciples were the light of the world, He did so because He knew, better than they, the finished work of the Trinity, as regards their station in the program of the Kingdom of God and the age of the gospel dispensation. While He was the Son of reality manifested in the world of humanity, they had been created and made great stars in the pernament. Hence in the menal and spiritual world they were commanded to so exercise themselves as regards their duty and behaviour as to let their light so shine before mankind that mankind would see their good work and glorify their father which is in heaven. The thought on the importance of behaviour perplexly good behaviour as a very important tactic being given much underrated grace in the and remits it. field, if though that have come under their range of interest. The eminent philosophers and Christian thinkers in studying man and his habits from childhood to old age are becoming awakened to the idea that behaviour conduct and duty may be regarded as the three trunk lines that constitute the arteries from which flow the vital streams of energy the tissues and develops human society. When our Where To Go To Church Where To Go To Church Lord the Emmanuel before said Him. Distress and all perceptions through the ages that believe on Him and follow Him through their word, that they should let their light to shine before men that they may see their good work and glorify their Father which is in heaven, the command should be heeded and obeyed at once. Professed believers who have race prejudice, class prejudice, feelings of hate, malice, who athe, whether good name or material things, who lie and are covetous, may attempt to deceive others, but they do not deceive themselves or their Lord, for they know they are not the light of the world. But those who love the Lord God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength, and their neighbors as themselves, manifest a good behaviour in their thoughts, in their home, in their church, in society, and upon the public thoroughfares. For these persons regard as their sacred duty the command of our Lord Jesus the Emmanuel, to let their light so shine before men that they may see their good work and glorify their Father which is in heaven.

This theme, "A New Testament Triumvirate and its message for today," was the sermon at the morning hour of service. A large congregation was present, and the services were intensely interesting to all present. Sarah Mignonette, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew G. Short, and Edna Elizabeth, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Williams, were presented for baptism at the morning service and seven persons joined the church during the day. The sponsors for the baptised children were George Johnson, Olivia Johnson and Adele Newson, and Emma Duval and Charles Hewett, respectively.

King at of the sermon of Dr W. J. King is a member of the faculty of Gammond Theological Seminary in Atlanta, Ga. and is at present visiting in this city. The beauty of spiritual aspirations as against sordid materialism was set forth in compelling terms "Men Shall not live by bread alone but by every word that procedeth out of the mouth of God." were the words of the text, St. Matthew 6.6. Jesus is asking every man this morning as he faces life, on which side is he going to take a stand? declared D. King. "What's going to be my philosophy of life?" Am I going to be merely a money getter or am I going to take my stand on the spiritual side? Many nation though have adopted this Christian idealism to further their own ends he observed. As evidences of this he referred to present disturbances in China and other parts of the Orient. According to Dr King the beautiful aspects of life are only brought out as we appropriate these higher ideals as set forth by the founder of Christianity. Rev Willard Monroe preached a sermon on Devotion to the Lyceum Choral at 4 o'clock. A number of invited organizations assembled in a body and worshipped with the choral.

The challenge was made to the New York State Athletic Commission and a check posted as a forfeit. The Commission accepted this challenge and ordered Greb to sign for a bout with Flowers within 60 days or his title would be declared forfeited in New York State. Harry signed up the next day. But shortly thereafter the Commissioners learned that the champion is out of condition and is likely to be beaten in his next fight. Realizing that if this happened a Negrgo would become the world's middleweight champion, they began to devise some way by which they might get around this situation. An idea came when Dave Shade of California filed a challenge for a bout with Greb. Shade is a wetterweight, but the Commission seemed so pleased to have another challenger in the field that their first order was rescinded and Flowers was told to meet Shade in an elimination bout before he would be allowed to fight Greb. Sport editors realized that this was an attempt to prevent a Negro from fighting in a championship contest, and started such a storm of protest that the Commission was finally forced to go back to its original ruling permitting Flowers to meet Greb at the New Garden on February 26. Paul Gallico in the Daily News asked "Why make Flowers meet Shade? Is it because the Commission feels that reb is about ready to be taken, and if Flowers did the taking a colored man would be middleweight champion? Doesn't the Boxing Commission want a colored middleweight champion? Then why don't they say so." Frank F. O'Neill wrote in the New York Journal: "The demand of the State Athletic Commission that Tiger Flowers, Negro, fight Dave Shade before tackling Harry Greb for the title, is interpreted by many as a deliberate attempt to sidetrack the black man . . . The Commission made itself look queer in the matter of the Dempsev-Wills fight a few years ago, what with ordering articles signed and then declaring them null and void. Now the solons repeat themselves I wonder if Greb had refused to fight the Negro would he have been declared null and void? Did anyone laugh?" Articles in a similar vein were written by Joe Vila in the New York Sun, Ed. Van Every in the New York Evening World, and W O McGeehan in the New York Tribune. At a meeting of the Boxing Commission Friday, January 8, Chairman Parley denied that there was any attempt to draw the color line or that veiled racial discrimination was behind the proposed Flowers-Shade bout. He said no attempt would be made to block the Flowers-Greb bout and no effort would be made to force Shade and Flowers to fight at this time. According to Hype Igoe and other boxing experts, Greb has broken down completely and will be unable to stand ten fast rounds of boxing such as he will face when he meets Flowers. The champion has been fighting steadily for the past eight years, and in addition he has been living a very fast life. For these reasons this fight is generally looked upon as Flowers golden opportunity to become middleweight champion. 'Negro Boxing Fans Uncouth,' Says Promoter Gus Amos, until recently assistant to Jess McMahon, matchmaker at the Madison Square Garden, complains that Negro boxing fans who frequent the Commonwealth Sport Club at 15th street and Madison avenue are becoming so unmouth in their manners that other fans are not attending shows at this club in the numbers they once did. Amos is now assistant matchmaker at the Commonwealth Club. Whenever the Negro fighters win from white opponents at this club, and they usually win, their supporters become so enthusiastic that they often make unsportsmanlike and sometimes insulting remarks to the white fans. Amos. Especially is this true, he says, "when the white fan (who has come to see some favorite of his own race upon seeing his man getting the worst of it attempts to escape the house). Remarks of deriving sometimes protane are hurled at such unfortunates. If so they who take the resolve to never attend a mixed bout again. Sometimes the colored fans go still further in their excitement. But such occasions are rare. These occasions are usually when a Negro fighter has outpointed an opponent but the decision is given the white fighter. At such times peanuts, pieces of hot dogs, etc. are thrown in protest. On one occasion the referee was almost beamed with a soda bottle by a gallery god who disagreed with a decision of the judges. Since that time the special policemen employed by the club have been especiallyignant in keeping order in the gallery. "While less McMahon is fighting to have Negro boxers break into the big money at the New Garden, Negro fans are insulting the best paying fans at the Commonwealth," moans Amos. By POB SLATER.

Colt Named For Brave African In Gratitude Dr. Marius Johnson Honors Native Guide Who Saved Him From Angry Lion By HENRY V KING, in N Y Sun Miratel is the name of Nazarene mother of the two year old colt by High Lime and Rush Box. Miratel is also the name of an African Negro gun bearer and guide. It was in honor of this regent that the cot was named. Dr. Marus Johnson famous exp. scientist and game hunter owns the cot which is now in Beemont Park be- ing prepared by May Hushaw, who cares he next spring.

Dr. Johnson was equal to the emergency. He hit his gun quickly and tried and fired accurately. The ones staggered a few feet and went down dead. As she told Dr. Johnson stood still, thrilled and elated, but a bit nervous from his narrow escape. Before he had a chance to lower his gun another shot rang out. It stalled him. He looked around and saw lying aim at his feet a second dead giant him. The shot he had heard had killed the reflex. It had come from Mr. Johnson's gun just as the fireman was about to spring Dr. Johnson. Mustafa was Dr. Johnson's gun bearer and guide outing the expedition. He knew the Artemis jungle's pretty wet and warmed his musser that morning that he sailed near a mountains den. It was a sunny day the hunter was seeking and he targed on in that an hour he ran away as the hunter he had not seen Mustafa. He assumed his gun bearer was nearing but he didn't know exactly where. When Dr. Johnson tried Mustafa it was a new tessar tawel. Half hidden in a rock he had his gun trained at the lime and we went to cool it immediately with the explorer when he saw it got male with charging from the rear. In trash the Negro was the hunter and tared. The hunter was better and the hunter went down less than a second after he made had a run from the Darton's jungle. Mirafel A Courageous Man Do I have to mute Merkel was a here one of the most faithful and courageous men we have. He has ducked and treated the less less than the the treed men dead for a well maitained. What he realized he would have escaped this possible death by remaining at his seat. Do I have to mute that that Negro is a leader and that that certain and that certain him to take and to two and to two twelve below. The will has not hurt her and it keeps him friend up there. But Merkel received the first the music When Dr. Johnson got the cop, by High Time and Rush Box he didn't name him Mirafel immediately. Even though he was a well made youngster and a full brother to Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt's champion of 1924 and the conqueror of the French star Ephard, he desired to withhold the name. He wanted to know more about the cop and declared that unless he gave evidence of having speed and courage he would not be called after the man who had saved his life. In his opinion the name of Mirafel was too good to be called by a cheap plater. Colt Named After Trial Max Hirsh tried the colt last fall and he showed speed and acted as if he were going to develop into a nice horse. The noted trainer impressed on Dr. Johnson that yearling trials are often deceptive and declared he could not vouch for his greatness. But the fact that the colt ran and acted as if he liked to run caused the explorer to take a chance with the name of his friend, and he sent it along to the Jockey Club for registration. Sportsmen and horsemen in all parts of the country, especially in Kentucky, have heard the story of Mirafeal, and all are rooting that the colt named after such a courageous fellow will make good. Mirafel, the colt, is not a chestnut like his famous brother He is a bay, but he is marked somewhat the same. He has the same white strips on his face and two white legs. Hirsch says he is the image of the immortal Lexington He says he and several veteran horsesmen learned this by comparing him with photographs of the champion of seventy five years ago. Mirafel, like Sarazen, has several strains of the blood of Lexington coursing through his scars.

Produced by the Fox Company and with a year spent in the making this film story of the Fox, it is created as one of the finest picture of the season by critics and public alike who have seen it. The book, as many of the theatre goers, will remember who have read the plays in book form or who have seen its stage presentations is the story of the adventures and romance who be believed that he could live like Christ in the twentieth century. It has been ranked as one of the greatest plays ever written for stage or screen, not only because of the moral lesson it contains but also because the sheer thrill and entertainment it melodramatics action and comics. All of the leading members on the cast were especially selected and Edmund Love scores the greatest success of his meteor career in the role of the heroes minister Dame Goldchrist. Another big part one which Lowell Sherman made tame in on the stage, is that of Jerry played by Ray Bloomer.

In the last two months a crowded series of recitals in the West and South have but added to the remarkable success and enthusiasm which he has met on every hand. Roland Hayes appeared in Chicago and was greeted by an audience which overflowed the auditorium of Orchestra Hall and filled the stage—an assemblage such as very few artists indeed can attract. In Philadelphia where he had already appeared notably in recital, he sang at a regular pair of concerts as solos with the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra under Leopold Stokowski. Audience and conductor warmly applauded this singer. Among a Southern tour, in December was an appearance in the auditorium of Atlanta. Ga—the first recital of Roland Hayes in his native state. Several thousand assembled in a large auditorium to welcome the artist. These are but single incidents in a series of successes of a sort won by no other singer of the day. Mr. Hayes' programme for this third New York recital will include Purcells When I am laid in earth", Stradellas Seenel Ben", Franck's "Set nur nil", Schumann's "Aus den Ostlichen Rosen" and "Schone Freunde"; Brahms' "Lerchengesang" and "Den laues Auge".

Opposite Harlem Hospital. THOUGHTS AND REPLIQUES To Open Letter From J. H. Hogans Mr. James H. Hogans, Care The New York Age, New York, N. Y. My dear, Mr. Hogans: I have read, with interest, the "open letter" to me contained in your column of The Age of January 9, 1926. May I ask the courtesy of space in your column to reply I will assume your consent. First, I want to thank you sincerely for the kind expressions of confidence contained in your letter, and I assure you that I appreciate and value the confidence of my fellow workers which you say I have. If as you say, I also have the respect of my employers, I think I can truthfully say that I have never tried to use that respect or whatever influence I may have, for my personal benefit. All my efforts have been for the general good of our craft. As most of my friends know, I have never sought or desired election to any of the various committees to which my fellow-workers have elected me. As you know, from experience, such service is a serious drain on both one time and finances. Those serving in such capacity are often misunderstood and willified by the very ones they are honestly trying to serve; and, to me, that is a most distasteful phase. The compensating factor is that after many years of such service, many of my coworkers still have faith in the honesty of my purpose, if not in the means by which I have tried to accomplish it. As to the prospective conference with the management of the Pullman Co. I believe as you do, that it is possible to make that conference mean much to our group. If I did not honestly believe that, I would not consider serving as a delegate. If we are to derive the potential benefits of the conference, there must be frank, but dispassionate discussion of the various problems, and a willingness on each side to try to see the other fellow's side of the question as well as our own side. You have correctly stated that I am not an aspirant for any other job with the Pullman Co. and if I go to the conference, I go solely to try to make my present job a better one. If I am elected a delegate, I earnestly urge you and all others in our group to submit suggestions for remedial changes in our present agreement. An honest effort will be made to find out what those who send me want, and honestly try to carry out those desires. Again thanking you for your expressions of confidence in my integrity and for your interest in the matter before us. MAKE YOUR SMILE LOVELY All day long your teeth are making an impression. Pearly white teeth are easy to look at, while decayed teeth and deformed mouths create a bad impression.

The body of the deceased was taken to Washington, D. C., her native home, on Thursday, January 7, for burial. The death of Mrs. Davis has occasioned deep regret among all the friends she made during her residence in this city. Bossessed of a sunny and magnetic disposition, the deceased had characteristics which endured her to those with whom she came in contact. One of these characteristics was the devotion which she beatowed on her husband. To her, he was not only a husband, but a companion in the strictest sense of the term; for wifever and wherever one saw Mr. Davis one didn't have to look far to see Mrs. Davis. Especially was that noticeable in their external and social life. The writer once aided her pokingly if she didnt allow her husband any "off time" (meaning, of course, did her husband go anywhere without her). "Ma she replied, "we didnt marry each other for any 'off time'." That answer exemplified her idea of marital relations. Besides being a devoted wife and companion, she endeavored to be a financial helpmate he following her vocation, which was that of a school teacher. She taught in School 89 of this city. Her passing from the stage of life, in what might be termed the prime of existence, is one of those regrettable and inexplicable mysteries for which we can only express our heartfelt sorrow. The Pullman Company is offering to its employees the privilege of becoming stockholders on the company by purchasing shares of its stock below market price and on the partial payment plan. Under the plan of purchase, porters may subscribe to stock per share at the ratio of yearly salary one share being allowed to those whose wages are $500, and over and two shares to those who are earning $1000 and over. Some of our porters who are long in imagination and short on logic seem to think that the offer to them to purchase stock in the company has a certain guidance. Why they should think that way is rather unplausal. As a matter of fact the stock and the terms of written may be purchased are offered to all Pullman employees which include conduct of official personnel and card force. The porters are more on the opposite sides of the other employees. The significance is on these a little. MAKE All day pression.
