At the trustee meeting which elected Mr. Jones plans were discussed for completing an enabling fund of $100, equality for payment of a million dollar donation fund which has already been fully by the General Education Board, the College Corporation and a group of individuals including Edward S. Harkness, Julius Rosenwald, Samuel Sachs, Samuel Mather, Mrs. Francis F. Prentiss, V. Evrit Mary and Charles A. Offin. Towards this enabling fund the Alumni of Fikar are raising $25,000, which Mr. Cravath has agreed to match, and the remaining $30,000 is being raised from the general public.
Howard President To Reply To Brooklyn Church Next Sunday
The Rev. D. J. Stanley, Director president of H. W. University in Washington, D. C., has not yet decided whether he will accept the call to the pastorate of Plymouth Church on Orange street. The educator-clergyman continued to occupy Sunday, as special preacher the pulpit during the repastation during the ministries of Henry Ward Beecher, Lyman Abbott and Newell Dwight Hill, but, through the Rev. William J. White, acting assistant pastor, asked for another week to determine whether he will accept the call to Brooklyn.
The acting assistant pastor said that Dr. Durkee would be ready with his answer next Sunday to the "carnest and hearty invitation," extended by the church. Just as Plymouth Church did not hurry to fill the pulpit after Dr. Hills' selection as pastor emeritus, so Dr. Durkee is epititled to weigh the matter carefully before he gives his decision, Mr. White said:
displayed, the best of humor and justly merited the statement of the secretary in his brief review that they were "regular fellows, best known for their Bohemianism." The best of decorum prevailed through the entire evening and attributed to the Elks that they are only riotous sports was contradicted by the behavior and manners of this large gatehring.
Brother "Bills" Present
Delegations were present from all the Elk lodges in the city, and Brooklyn. No. 32 was largely represented. Secretary West of the lodge gives a brief history of Monarch Lodge, speaking of their long fight for fraternal recognition in the State of New York and the lodge group membership of 2000, who paid high admission fees; spoke of their beautiful home on 137th street, which had been "purchased from within and not a single brick was contributed or solicited from any person not a member of the lodge. Men from nearly every walk of life are numbered among its members; all mingling in his one harmonious whole, each doing his best to insure success. In the lodge dispenses charity to worthy needy brethren and claims a bank account, of $55,000.
The officers are: Dr. Hudson J. Oliver, exalted ruler; Otteloh Jackson, esteemed leading knight; James Ray, esteemed loyal knight; William Mitchell, esteemed lecturing knight; Ellas Watson, inner guard; Charles Hanne, master social assisst; Thomas L. Brown, corresponding secretary; Edward Stewart, assistant secretary; James Keyer, tyler. Trustees: John H. Brown, chairman; James A. Thomas, secretary; Jerry Strutters, L.B. Catchart, John Thompson.
A peculiar check mixup that has not been straightened out after a session of the Washington Heights Court, has resulted in Mrs. Angie Dickens being out, for the time being, at least, the sum of $80; while Stephan, who, with his wife, had named for several months with Mrs. Dickens at 2094 Fifth avenue, is in jail enabled with grand larceny, lacking ability to give $1,500 bail, and the question who drew the check which Mrs. Dickens endorsed and which the Chelsea Exchange Bank, Harlem branch, cashed, remains a mystery.
At least, it is a mystery to Mrs. Dickens, and since she seems to be the only one who is out of anything, it is a mystery she would like so. Of course, Stephan is out of his liberty at the present time, but he is the last one who is known to have had the $80, so he has that as a consoling thought.
Woman Endorsed Check
Mrs. Dickens' story, as told in court on Wednesday, is that Stepson, who is supposed to be an auto mechanic had gotten behind with his room rent, but pacified the landlady by promising to pay as soon as she got his money from his employer. So when he came to her with a check for $20, bearing the alleged signature of Mansky, payable to the order of Stern, and with the apposed endorsed notice on the back of "Iane Steep" Mr. Dickens thought it looked all right.
It looked all the better because it was drawn on the Chelsea Exchange Bank in Harlem, and want that the safe and conscientious financial institution which had the task of safeguarding her own precious dollars? So when Stepson stated that he was the check, Dickens breeding up the payment of the back rent that was due, Mrs. Dickens unhesitatingly wrote her name on the back of the check, immediately under that of the supposed Steep. When Stepson stepped up to the paying teller's window at the Chelsea, it was but a minute or so before he walked out with the $80 in his pocket.
Bank Repudiates Check
Now, how the ensuing denouement came about is what constitutes the mystery, for although the check was drawn on Chelsea Exchange Bank, and was paid by that bank, a few days later that institution notified Mrs. Dickens that the check could not be collected and deducted $0 from her personal account so that the bank's slim treasury would not be further depleted.
Not knowing what else to do, Mrs. Dickens had her roomer, Stepson, halted to court on the plain, old-fashioned charge of stealing the case was called Stepson could not tell who Malusky might be nor where he could be found. An Isaac Stern was in court and he swore he knew nothing of the check, and that the "Isaac Stern" written across the back of the check was not in his chirurgery.
And to cap the climax, the Chelsea Savings Bank, although it cashed the check drawn on its own deposits by a supposed depositor, presented the check in court with a statement that the alleged drawer, "Malusky", was unknown.
The judge advised Mrs. Dickens that she had recourse in suing the bank and making that institution pay back her $0, but she is a timid soul, and fears to fight so formidable an opponent.
The meantime, Stepson is being held for the Court of Special Sessions in the sum of $1,500, while Mrs. Stepson continues to occupy the room for which Mrs. Dickson has not yet been paid.
Come To Court On a Stretcher, Said Judge
St. Nicholas Place, was summoned to Washington Heights Court Friday morning on complaint of a jacketless man. Wet 139th street, Mrs. Landsman was not there, but she sent her daughter instead, to answer for her failure to supply hot water and heat in the 139th street apartment house of which Mrs. Landsman is landlord. The daughter said that her mother was unable to appear in court, why asked by the clerk why Mrs. Landsman could not be there, she said that her mother was sick. The Judge then oldster that her mother would have to appear in court Friday, February 26, to answer the charge, or he would send a police officer for her. "Your honor," said the daughter of Mrs. Landsman she is sick and if she comes to court she will have to be brought on a stretcher. "Alright," said Judge McQuade. "If that is the only way bring her on a stretcher, because she must answer this charge."
DeHart Hobbard Sets New World's Record For 65-Yard Dash
Breaks 18-Year Old Record At Boston Legion Meet
De Hart Hubbard of Gincinnati Q. who holds the world's record for the running broad jump and the inter-collegiate record for the 100-yard dash, added another world record to his list at the seventh annual track meet of the Boston American Legion, bad down Washington's Birthday. Hubbard established a new record of 6 and 4-5 seconds for the 65-yard dash.
The Associated Press reported his most recent feat as follows:
"A world record that had atod for eighteen years was broken in the seventh annual running of the American Legion track games here when De Hart Hubbard, former Michigan star Negro athlete, sprinted 65 yards in 6-4-5 seconds.

"Hubbard's record supplanted the old mark, set by Lawson Robertson and Howard Drew, and was made under difficult conditions, as Hubbard was forced to run on rubber soles,
without spikes, on the smooth East Armory floor.
"The old record was established by Robertson on March 2, 1908. Drew equaled it January 25, 1913. Loren Murchison equaled it on February 11, 1924, and Hubbard himself equaled the old mark last week in New York."

Laundry Drivers
Have A Hard Time
Collecting Bundles
Some Customers Not Ready
When The Wagon Calls;
Others Are Out
The hardships that laundry drivers experience were told to a reporter for The Age who interviewed drivers for various laundries operating in Harlem.
Speaking in regards to the proposed unionizing of laundry workers it was the opinion of drivers that standard hours for the collecting of laundry would enable them to finish their work at a definite time while under the present system there is no certain hour for their day to end at some of the laundries.
One inconvenience that many drivers have to stand for it repeated calls on customers. There are times when a customer is not out of bed when the driver first calls and he requests the customer to come back a little later, then when the driver gets back the customer has gone out for the day. It then remains for him to make a third call after dark.
Another instance is where the customer tells the driver that his laundry is not ready yet but that he may call again tomorrow. 'On the following day,' he is offered told that the laundry has been given to another driver for some other laundry.
Many calls are made when no one is at home the first time, and it is necessary to make a second call. The same conditions exist in delivering bundles. It is either the case that the customer is at home or is home and did not leave the money or is not ready to pay for it.
One laundry proprietor expressed the opinion that the reason that the people are so unconcerned about having bundles ready when the driver calls is that they know that there are wagons passing in their street at all hours the day and that the most important way they can pass is by wagons passing which they can call to take their soiled clothes.
The same conditions confronts both the colored and white laundry workers and certain wagons are seen as late as 10 o'clock at night collecting laundry from working people who are away driving and that the driver said that he could collect more bundles between 6 p. m. and 9 p. m. than during the early daytime.
If the public knew that there would be no laundry bundles collected or delivered after dark everyone would arrange to leave his laundry where the driver could get it when the customer happens and that for other things that are to be attended to while they are at work or gone shopping, is what laundry people seem to think

Harlem Police Reserve Kills Suspected Thief And Is Shot By Police
Albert Cantor, 22, of 2072 Eighth avenue, a reservist attached to the West 135th Street Police Station, was shot three times by plain clothes Policeman Dudley of the third Division after he the man was shot at 14th street and Seventh avenue Wednesday night, February 17. Officer Dudley was unaware of Cantor's connection with the Police Department and thought he was shooting a criminal. The trouble started in the Roosevelt Theatre, 45th Street and 14th avenue. Cantor has been employed as a special policeman to maintain order. Near the close of the show, two women patrons screamed that a man was trying to steal their coats. They pointed to a man in the act of leaving as the guilty one. They pursued the culprit to the street and when they reached the sidewalk the man, who was known in the

FROM FEDERAL PRISON, MARCUS GARVEY SENDS OUT MANIFESTO THAT STARTS U. N. I. A. SEETHING Charges Disloyalty To Acting President William Sherrel And Counter Charges Are Made That Mrs. Garvey Is Trying To Win For Herself Leadership of Organization SHERREL ANSWERS CRITICS IN NEW YORK MEETING AND IS OVERCOME BY EMOTION WHILE SPEAKING
Marcus Garvey, who seven years ago began building an organization which, in three years, grew till the membership numbered several hundred thousand people in various parts of the world, has from his prison cell in Atlanta wrecked the remnant of that organization and thrown its officers into a panic of fear that the little real estate which they control will be lost.
This organization, known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is now torn by an internal strife which it is expected will come to head at a proposed convention called by a group of presidents: of branches to be held in Detroit, Mich. March 14-31.
said, he had worked in the interest of the U. N. L.A. and he did not now propose to have the organization "lynch" him on false charges.
Garvey Charges Sherrell
The present fight grew out of charges of disloyalty which President Garvey has filed against Acting President William Sherrel, and the staff. These charges were obtained in the New Mexico state attorney general's office. Mr. Sherrel had been signature on the complaint that was that Mr. Sherrel had not kept in personal touch with Mr. Garvey since his incarceration and that Mr. Sherrel was not interpreting the spirit of the organization to the people. The Garvey article closed with the statement that the convention was being called with his convention being called with of selecting someone to take the affairs of the organization out of Sherrel's control.
But Mr. Sherrel, with the second vice president, Wesley McDonald Holder, and Secretary Weston, are determined that no one shall oust them at least at this time. They say that if the office is uniformed by a few disgruntled officers, they get control of the organization for their personal gain.
Detroit Call Illegal.
They also charge the Detroit convention is unconstitutional and for that reason they will not be affected by anything it does. At a meeting on last Sunday night at Liberty Hall, President Sherrel exposed something of the true condition of affairs within the organization, at the same time declaring that he had never by word or deed been disloyal to the membership or Mr. Garvey. When he referred to the charge made against him in "The Negro World" he was so overcome with emotion that teams came into his eyes and it was several minutes before he could continue his address. For four years, he neighborhood as Wilson, struck Cantor in the face knocking him against a wall. At the same time the man reached to his hip pocket, starting to rup as he did so. Cantor pursued the fleeing man down Seventh avenue, firing as he ran. Patrolman Dudley, Hunter and Kline saw the men running and thought they were two criminals having a gun battle. At 144th street Wilson fell dead. A officer Dudley found allusions of which took effect in Cantor's body. He fell across the dead man's body. As soon as an explanation was made Cantor was rushed to the Harlem Hospital, where little hope is held out for his recovery. Captain Daniel A. Kerr of the Third Division is investigating the affair. Officer Dudley has not been arested but is temporarily suspended pending the indigation. Wilons body was not claimed by relatives or friends
at approximately $460 a front foot, and the lodge has made a large profit. They purchased the lots through Fitz Howell's office in January, 1923. Mr. Howell is a stratemal man and is identified with the real estate world, especially in Harlem colored property. He brought to Manhattan Lodge the cash offer available and the members the average February 11, by an overwhelming vote, decided to sell and approved the sale. Contractions were drawn and signed Manhattan Lodge has a membership of nearly 2000 members.
said, he had worked in the interest of the U. N. L. A. and he did not now propose to have the organization "lynch" him on false charges.
Bankruptcy Impending.
As he continued his address, it became more and more evident that it is a matter of weeks before the U. N. I. A. will be forced into bankruptcy. Since he took over the leadership from Mr. Foster, he has been asked to be more diligent to raise money to keep the doors of the headquarters at 56. West 135th street open. "If we don't stick together, we'll lose everything," he pleaded.
In concluding his address, he asked that his crites give some concrete instance of his disloyalty, that they produce facts and not try to oust him by oppaganda. He was given an ovation by the 500 members who were present.
But the meeting had not been a harmonious one, despite the fact that most of those present seemed to be with the acting president.
A Hit At Mrs. Garvey
When the first speaker, J. B. Tynes, president of the East Liberty, Pa., Division, charged that the whole plot to oust Mr. Sherrel was the work of one woman, who was ambitious to become president herself, friends of Mrs. Garvey raised a storm of protest and it was necessary to get two uniformed policemen to come in and restore order.
Vice President Holder, who was the next speaker, named Fred A. Toote, S. A. Haynes and M. Crawford of the Black Crew Navigation Co., as three of the officers and conspired against Mr. Sherrel. Friends of these men created another disturbance when their names were mentioned and the police had to again restore order.
Take Up Collections
Before Mr. Sherrel spoke, a collection was lifted toward the installation due on the third mortgage of Liberty Hall. The presiding officer, Mr. Weston, pleaded with the members to give $200 toward this fund, which had to be raised by Wednesday. Another collection to aid "The Negro World" was takef.
To an observer, who had seen the organization in the days of its glory, there was something pathetic about the meeting Sunday night. The hall, which never had been an amusing looking building, is now in such need of repair that there was unsafe to use. There was a big leak in the center of the building and the tin lighting was coming off or had rusted in alcove spaces where the roof leaked. There was a tie or no heat and those present had to sit in their overcoats in order to be comfortable.
Million Dollars Dissipated.
A few of the African Legions, in their uniforms of black trimmed in wide gold Braid, still march at the opening of the meetings. They were followed by three of the Black Cross Nurses and a half dozen boys, dressed as scouts, and by the color sergeant with the red, green and black flag which Garvey adopted as the national colors of Africa. But there was not of enthusiasm at this military display as in the days of yore. Nor was there any enthusiasm when one of the leaders mentioned the redemption of Africa. These people who had given and loaned more than a million dollars toward the cause of "Redemining Africa" almost seemed to agree when their acting president, distressed and bitter, said "You talk about redemining Africa, you can't redemine Africa or any other place until you have made yourselves politically and financially strong in this country."

Fear of segregation of Negro delegates at the International Sunday School Convention to be held at Birmingham, Ala., April 12 to 19, as expressed in a statement printed in last week's Age, sent out by the Religious Education Department of the A. M. E. Zion Church, with headquarters at 438 East 46th street, Chicago, is discounted by the Rev. S. N. Vass, of the National Baptist Publishing Board, and president of the Christian Education Conference, who is in New York conducting a Sunday school institute at Concord Baptist Church, Brooklyn
Dr. Vass, after reading The Age story, immediately declared that the segregation question had been thoroughly thrashed out by the various agencies in charge of the International Council of Churches, and that even though there is a municipal ordinance in Birmingham which compels a division of the races in seatings in the auditorium, it had been discovered that the law does not specify where either whites or Negroes should be seated. Council members, the chair of the executive committee of the Council, Dr. Robert M. Hopkins had arranged to allot the colored delegates to seat in the front rows on the main floor of the auditorium.
As To Committee Meetings.
towards Negro members of the executive committee failed to bring satisfactory answers; the chairman, Dr. Hopkins, has arranged that these meetings will be held in one of the large white churches, and he has been assured by church officials that the colored delegates will be accorded the exact treatment given other delegates. It is stated further that full assurance has been given that in the sectional meetings held in various white churches, the Negro delegates will not be discriminated against either in welcome, seating accommodation or recognition. And coupled with these assurances, Dr. Vass brings out that Dr. Hopkins has declared that so far as he can influence action, that he will be able to meet the meeting until ample assurance has been given as to the treatment that will be accorded Negro delegates.
To Support Conference.
Dr. Vass states that Dr. Hopkins imparted this information to a meeting at Nashville, Tenn., on February 8, when he met for the second time the group of Negro representatives from the various church bodies—the A. M. E, the C. M. E, the A. M. E. Zion, and the two National Baptist Conventions. Continuing in this manner, Dr. Hopkins gave "in view of the facts given by Dr. Hopkins, the Nashville conference unanimously voted support to the Birmingham Council on April 14, upon the express understanding that Dr. Hopkins promises to see that the arrangement outlined will be carried out to the letter. The meeting adjourned after two colored representatives has been named to get involved in local church representatives of our group and of the full local committee, at which time we have no doubt that we shall altogether decide to fully cooperate to make the big convention a success.
"President Coolidge will speak there and the Negro delegates will be seated immediately in front of him. I am going to Birmingham directly from New York to confer that we shall decide to cooperate upon the conditions outlined above.
An Outstanding Agency.

Mrs. Luretta N. Thorpe, the beautiful wife of Charles L. Thorpe, prominent fraternal man, died early Monday morning, February 22, following an illness, of only five days at her late home, 168 West 141st street.
Mrs. Thorpe, who was 24 years old, was an ideal wife and one of the popular young matrons' in New York.
She was a native of Sumpter, S. C., but had lived in New York for the past nineteen years. She became the bride of Mr. Thorpe about five years ago and two sons, Charles L. Thorpe Jr., age three and a half, and Monte Bernard, age one year, blessed their union. When she plained last week of feeling ill three husband summoned medical aid immediately, and everything possible was done to save the life of his young wife.
The late Mrs. Thorne was an active member of St. Philips P. R. Church, and her body lay in state in that church from Wednesday afternoon until Thursday noon, when several services were conducted by the Rev. Robert E. Bishop, assisted by the Rev. Shelton Hanley, several ministers of other denominations. Burial was at Cypress Hill Cemetery under direction of Mrs. Mary Lane. Floral tributes were numerous and beautiful, one of the largest pieces being from the Ladies Auxiliary to the Edgecombe Sanitarium, the new enclosed hospital, for which Mrs. Chen was actively engaged in work for its support a few weeks before her death.
'Sweet' In Name Not In Nature, Said Wife
Mrs Mary Sweet and her husband,
Thos. Sweet, of 58 West. 133rd street
were both in Washington Heights
Court Friday. Mrs. Sweet had a
charge against her husband for dis-
orderly conduct. She said that heg
husband had been bating her every
day for a week. It seems that though
his name was "Sweet," he did not
have a very sweet disposition.
Th husband, Mr. Sweet, said that his wife had left the house several nights during the week after he had told her to stay at home. He forwent a night and a late one night, and she slapped her three times. Judge McQuade adjourned the case for investigation by a probation officer.
Chinese Charges Three With Wrecking His Cafe
Chinese Charges Three With Wrecking His Cafe
Three men were brought to the Heights Court Friday charged with disorderly conduct. They described themselves as Alfred Stephens, 18 West 133rd street, Samuel Williams, 302 West 193th street, land Hubert Thmaps, 19 West 132nd street. Charles Lee, a Chinese, 332 West 145th street, said that the three men came to his restaurant about midnight Thursday. They began to quarrel among themselves. Finally they started to fight with all the dishes found in sight. They threw catfish bottles, vinegar bottle and dishes all over the place. After they had finished the fracas, Lee said, they had damaged his place to the extent of $50.
The three defendants were held in $500 ball-each for Special Sessions.
Carlisle, Pa.
Carlisle, Pa-A Calendar supper was held on Thursday night at the West Street A. M E. Zion Church, by Dr. B. J. Bolding. The Pansy Club gave a dance in the Giancola Hall Thursday night. Mrs. Elizabeth Brown of New York City has been called to Carlisle on account of the serious illness of her cousin, Mrs. Lucy Emerson.
One of the most interesting programs in the history of Carlisle was rendered at the Shiloh Baptist Church on the evening of Lincoln's Birthday, February 12. Secretary of State Dr. Clyde L. King, was the principal speaker. Dr. King's knowledge of Negro history in this country from the following angles was a masterpiece: Economic, Intellectual, Religious, Financial, Dr. Lansborough, Secretary of Labor of the Commonwealth, spoke in glowing terms of our people who are in the midst of a great migration that wherever our people were located in the industrial distriits they were giving perfect satisfaction. The pastor, Rev. H. G. Pope, gave a splendid talk on the Negro in his infancy. The Lincoln Day exercise was under the auspices of the Pastor's Ail Society, W. H. Brown r. president.
The events for each of the various days of, Heath. Week should be in charge of a separate committee, and each committee should be appointed to make its plans and arrange a successful program of work.
Sunday, April Fourth-Mobilization Day
This is a day of meetings. Sermons should be preached. In the morning, by the various local ministers. In the afternoon there should be one or more mass meetings—one being adequate for rural community, one for urban community, one national, mass meetings being desirable in large cities.

Tuesday, April Sixth—Community
Sanitation Day
Talks, as upon Monday, should be given at business men's clubs, women's clubs; and in the schools to urge the people to assist in the special work of the day. Committees or teams of men should make a systematic attack upon all marshes, swamps and other places where water may collect and become stagnant, for the purpose of draining such places and preventing the breeding of mosquitoes. Committees may obtain pamphlets with directions for carrying on this work most effectively by writing to the State department of health.

Talks for children in the schools should be given special attention on this day and at various meetings of adults, parents should be urged to cooperate with schools. Clinics should be established in every school for the examination of children, both those who have entered school and those of pre-school age. Such examinations will reveal defects which may cause great sufferings in later years if they are not remedied. All children should be vaccinated against smallpox, and toxin anti-toxin as a percentage (when indicated) as a matter of regular procedure. Teeth should be examined and defects remedied. Enlarged or diseased tonsils aid adenoids should be removed when in the opinion of the physician they are a source of danger.

Friday, April Ninth—Special Campaign Day
A survey under the general direction of the community's central committee, even though it be hurried and superficial, will probably reveal the existence of some special disease menace in every community. In some cities and towns it may be malaria, in others it may be tuberculosis or hookworm disease, in still others it may be the venereal diseases. On this day an opportunity should be afforded for the inauguration of a program of measures directed especially against the particular disease which appears most dangerous to the community. Talks should be given before various organizations of adults, at business houses, and in schools and colleges regarding the control of this special disease.
Saturday. April Tenth—Planning Day
The central committee should hold its final meeting of the week on Saturday noon or other hours in plan a way and means by which the results of the week's work may be conserved and to complete plans for a mass meeting to be held Saturday night.
The purpose of the mass meeting is to win the support of the citizens of the community in the development of a more adequate program of health measures through the year.
Tuskegee Institute will welcome suggestions for making the campaign a success, and will be glad to co-operate with individuals or groups in making their plans for the week.

WESTERN PERSONALITY
Week February 22 to 28
The members of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority throughout the country are observing the week of February 22 to 28. Personality, Week. The idea chapter, emphasizing this important young women, has issued the following publicity:
PERSONALITY
What is Personality?
Some people think that it is impossible to acquire or develop personality. Don't think there is no need in striving to get it if it not predominant in your nature. Personality is often a hidden quality which will lie dormant indefinitely if one so wishes.
Take the power of thinking raised to the highest degree; multiply it by the power of doing raised to the highest degree and add to these all of the things you have by nature-plus all of the things you may acquire. The result will be the development of personality, the finest attribute of Piner Womanhood as emphasized by Zeta Phi Beta Sorority. Personality is something positive, progressive, dynamic. It stabilizes and enriches life and no effort is too great, that helps win it.

In Morgue Four Days
Before Identification
Arthur McDuffey's Boy Is
Found Mangled On Tracks
At 135th Street Station
Arthur McDuffey, 2566 Seymour avenue, left home Saturday morning to go to work. Saturday night between eleven and twelve dlocks his mangled body was found on the subway track at the 155th street subway station. There was nothing on his person to identify him, and the body was carried to the City Morgue. When McDuffey did not come home Saturday night, as usual, his mother,attlecrier, began a seat for him. She had been beating every other place she could think of, but to no avail. As a last resort the husband of Mrs. Bozier, stepfather of Arthur McDuffey, went to the Morgane Thursday morning and there found the body of McDuffey. It is not known just how McDuffey got on the subway track. It is thought by many that he either fell or jumped from the platform of the station. The Coroner held an inquest and the verdict was that he met his death in some unknown manner on the subway track.
The body was taken from the Morgue to Turner's Understakeing office and Turner's undertaking service was held Saturday morning at 10 a.m. Interment at Fitzlingh, I.
Rev. R. M. Bolden Speaks
At Lincoln Republican
Banquet In Poughkeepsie
Poughkeepsie, N. Y.—The Rev. R. M. Bolden, pastor of First Emmanuel Church, New York City, was the principal speaker at the fourth annual banquet of the Lincoln Republican Club, which was held at the A. M. E. Zion Church, the Rev. H. W. Allen, pastor, on Tuesday, February 16. It was the largest affair of its kind ever given in Poughkeepsie.
Chef Marilj and Sultivan, caterers, served a dinner that pleased the most fastidious. The musical program, under direction of Mrs. Mattie Lofton Rose, a schoolmate of Rev. Boden, was unusually entertaining. The banquet was a community affair in Rev. Payne, pastor of the Biblical Church in Miami, Smith, head of the Community Welfare Institute, and the Rev. H. W. Allen, also a schoolmate of Rev. Bolden, joined the Republican Club to make the occasion a success and an inspiration to the peeve of Poughkeepsie and Dutchess County. The following is a part of Dr. Bolden's address: "We urge you to be always quick and to honor Abraham Lincoln, the great Emancipator—the most outstanding man of this nation—the world's shining example of simplicity, honesty, justice, fairplay and humanism in the world of political and civic government—and to show gratitude toward the Republican party which supported him in giving the Negro his freedom."
"But at the same time, we are not to think in terms of anything we owe the party and by that become political slaves and social outcasts; neither is Republican party to think and act like a liberal; the spirit of racial inferiority based on homophobia or characteristics. We should feel even a greater spirit today than that which urged and moved the slave, Fred Douglas, not only to free himself but also to help free others. Though uneducated he was used by the Lord, both by speech and in his actions in such a manner as to make him appear a political genius. He is not of military equality, political equality or equal economic opportunity and national and economic goodwill. He is the shining example to the youth of this country to noble deeds of service.
The committee of arrangements in charge of the celebration was composed of Mrs. Bessie B. May, chairman; Bert McIntyre, secretary; Mabel Chapman, Mrs. Alidia Brown, Elmer Rice, John Jacgess, Scotland Elmer Comblek, Mrs. Mattie Rose, George Magill, Clarence Anderson, Charles Brown and Robert Sullivan. The officers of the club are as follows: Yarborough Chapman, president; Mrs. Alida Brown, vice president; Clarence Anderson, secretary; Mrs. Mattie Rose, assistant secretary; Scotland Cassell, treasurer; Horace Van Dusen assistant treasurer.

Women Republicans, however, seem inclined to make war on the present Republican administration, as was indicated in reports that a meeting was held on Wednesday, February 17, by the Republican Neighborhood Association in the home of Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James, 89 East 69th street, when it was stated that 10,000 letters had been sent out calling on enrolled Republicans to help revitalize the New York County party organization. Mrs. John Henry Hamhond, vice-president, declared that the Koenegg organization had shown favoritism in the last campaign by supporting two or three preferred candidates and letting the rest of the ticket go to the wall.

WOMAN INVESTIGATOR RESPONSIBLE FOR ARRESTS OF CHURCH CULT MEMBERS WHO ARE INDICTED UNDER WHITE SLAVE LAW
The "Father" of the so-called religious cult, "Eyer Living, Never Dying Church," E. W. Robinson, was arrested February 23 in Chicago, together with his alleged wife and seven members, and are being brought to New York to join the fourteen others who were arrested and jailed in the Tombs on February 16, after being indicted by the Federal grand jury on charges of violating the Mann White Slave Act.

In New York City the church controlled several activities. At 2367 Seventh avenue a butcher and green grocery shop is conducted, catering particularly to members of the church. At 307 West 137th street,
The indictments and subsequent arrests are due primarily to the splendid work of Mrs. Byrd, Harris, a welfare worker attached to a city office, who was detailed on the case after rother investigators had failed to secure satisfactory evidence of law violations by these alleged church officials.
It was discovered by Mrs. Harris, in the course of her investigation that Elder Robinson, head of the cult, ruled with absolute autocracy, and maintained complete sway over all his followers, who believed him to be endowed with some sort of supernatural power. Proselytes were required to turn over to the church, which was in fact "Father" Robinson, control of properties and monies of which they were; possessed, and parents were taught that their future salvation and glory depended upon a cessation of marital relations, and turning over their girl children to the church.
Took Wives From Husbands
Husbands and wives became brothers and sisters, and were housed in different quarters, never thereafter, as long as they remained in the church, resuming marital relations.
But while the man was thus compelled to become a celibate; the woman was taken into the home of the "Father," and required to become submissive to him, body and mind, carnally and spiritually.
It was learned, in the course of investigation, that one woman, thus separated from her husband, refused to submit her body to the "Father's" use, and after he had for a year used every means in his power to overcome her determination without success, the woman was finally ejected from the home in the midst of a raging storm, her cothes being pitched out in to the street after her. But in the meantime, it is alleged, every dollar owned by the woman and her husband, had gone into the capacious maw of the church—that is, to Elder Robinson. It is reported that during 1925, Robinson deposited in a bank in Pleasantville, N. J., in less than

Do Business In New York
In New York City the church controlled several activities. At 2367 Seventh avenue a butcher and green grocery shop is conducted, catering particularly to members of the church. At 307 West 137th street, there is a rooming house, filled with adherents, and two other houses, one at 304, same street, and another at 261 West 139th street, were used as residences. The headquarters for New York City was in the 139th street house, where Elder Robinson lived when he was in the city. Incidentally, it is stated that the "Father" was the only man in this building, the other inmates being females.
Retreats In New Jersey
At Absecon, N. J., there is maintained the Cremona Farms, under charge of Mary Short, where was operated a socalled orphanage and industrial school for which systematic begging campaigns were made daily in all sections of New York, New Jersey, Chicago, and at points throughout the South.
The investigations made by Mrs. Harris uncovered evidence of weekly journeys made by Elder Robinson between New York City and Absecon, in which he was accompanied by groups of the young girls who had been turned over to the church by their parents. It is asserted that his plan was to take down a group of girls on Sunday, keep them on the farm until the following Saturday, bring them back to the city and the next day, Sunday, take back a fresh group.

Robinson's presence in Chicago, which had lasted for many months, was due to fear of at least three infuriated husbands, whose wives had been taken from them, and, who had sworn vengeance, according to Mrs. Harris. In Chicago, the church has two houses, beautifully furnished, and it is said the following there is, on a par with the New York group. But if Robinson had seen elfhee one of the three men whose anger he feared in Chicago at any time during the past year, it would not have been necessary, for the officers to go after him. He would have come back post-haste.
Threatened Mrs. Harris
The work accomplished by Mrs. Harris was no junaccompanied with danger. As a matter of fact, she was threatened with bodily injury on several occasions. On one particular occasion, she was followed by male members of the church, named Waldman and Streetey, and their movements aroused her apprehension to the extent that she went into a telephone booth and called the police station for help. Before the police aid could reach the spot, however, her trailers left.
But a little later, she met her husband, Leon Harris, who is himself a member of the Police Department, attached as patrolman to the West 135th street station, and acquainted him with the circumstances. Mr. Harris, in citizen clothes, responsive to his wife's request, followed her as she returned up Seventh avenue. As she was opposite 2367 Seventh avenue, the church store, Waldman, standing at the vegetable stand, eyed her with a malignant leer
Mr. Harris then accosted him, but was insolently told to mind his own business, and when the officer displayed his police shield, Waldman reached down and came up with a long-bladed heavy butcher up knife, with which he menaced the officer. Harris quickly drew his service revolver, but instead of pulling the trigger, brought the weapon down on Waldman's head, the impact of the blow exploding a cartridge which buried itself in the wall. But the blow and the gunshot combined to take all the fight out of Waldman, who meekly submitted to arrest.
Waldman Indicted For Assault.
He is now being held in $2,500 bond under an indictment for felonious assault in 1st and 2nd degree. This bond was furnished.
Waldman, with this case pending, was among those arrested on February 16 in New York, and, with the other men, is being held in $5,000 bail; the women are held in $2,500. All are in the Tombs as none of them have been abe to furnish bonds. The cases are scheduled for trial early in March.
Among the men taken into custody on February 16 were Elder A J. Symons, leader in absence of Robinson, who claimed to have come from Jerusalem; Julius Streety, Waldman, whose real name is said to be Alex Walker; Kirk White, alias Wolfer Kaufman; "One-Eyed" Banks, who had no alias, and Rubinstein, who told the court he came from Abyssinia.
On Tuesday, the 23rd Chief Assistant United States Attorney David Siegel, in charge of the prosecution, reported that when the officers raided the Cremona Farms at Absecon, fourteen young girls, most of them from Harlem, with a number of babies, were found there. But a later visit disclosed that many of the babies have disappeared. This will be investigated later, said Mr. Siegel, as the present prosecution will be limited to the bringing of girls from one state to another for immoral purposes.

"Better Babies"
By Dr. Alonzo deG. Smith
Bodily Mechanics
We promised to speak this week of manifestations of the sex instinct in children. We shall defer this for a later date, as much thought must be given to the matter of presentation, less some misinterpret our words and thus defeat the purpose of the writing. For this week let us consider a subject that is given scant thought by most of you. In plain terms, our subject has to do with correct and incorrect attitudes or positions of the body. Remembering that the body is often comparted to a machine and considering the fact that a machine works best when all parts are in perfect adjustment or relationship, we can approach the present topic with understanding.
It is not enough to examine the heart lungs or abdominal organs of a child. It should be stripped and examined as a whole for one gets a better idea this way and certainly we can observe faulty bodily positions to much better advantage. A body field in the proper position means that there is no undue strain on any part. We admire the erect bearing of the soldier. We cannot fail to note the presentday slouch of the "flapper", or the slumped way in which many people sit in a chair or the "haugh, paund and jowl" of the "successful" man and his spouse. But we do overlook these ugly positions in children. And a little thought must bring the conviction that such are not conducive to the best of health or rather that they are the signs of a lack of health that is an absence of muscular tone or control.
Now in these times when much is heard of evolution, let me remind you that man has developed from a four-legged stage to his present upright position. Faulty bodily positions may be an expression of the tendency of some to gravitate (look up this word in your dictionary if you don't understand it) to the former four legged stage. Most often the position can be corrected. The prevalence of these faults will amaze you. An examination of several thousand freshmen at Yale University showed that 75 per cent had curvatures of the spine. Over 50 percent had curvatures from side to side over 50 per cent had curvatures from front to back, 65 per cent had flat cheats, 42 per cent had prominent abdomens. Now mind you these were young "vigorous" youths! What must the number be among YOU who will read this article.
There are four recognized types of bodily positions—two good and two faulty. (1) The position of excellent mechanical use of the body—head straight above chest, hips and feet. Cheap up and forward Abdomen in or flat Back presenting the normal curve. (2)
Dr. William Terril, missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, writes from Inhambane, Africa, where a small mission press is in operation.
"But the funds are lacking with which to print them. It is felt that $200 would print an edition of 2,000. If these are sold at actual cost we are sure that our people would buy them. In that way the money invested in such scheme would come back into the fund and could be used to print the other necessary books.
"If there was some one who would finance such a plan to the extent of $1,000, or five friends who would invest $200 each, we could put on the market this year five vitally necessary books for our native peoples and an untold blessing would come to the Kingdom.
"Our people are perishing for lack of knowledge. How can we give them the knowledge that will save them from perishing? One way, and a very effective one, is by providing the knowledge through the printed page."
Communications regarding these proposed publications may be addressed to Dr Terrill of 37 St Amant street, Johannesburg, South Africa, or to the Department of Designated Gifts of the Board of Foreign Missions, 150 Fifth avenue, New York N Y
The position of good mechanical use of the body—head slightly too far forward. Chest not to well up or forward. Abdomen and back about the same as in one (3) The position of poor mechanical use of the body—head forward of chest Chest flat Abdomen relaxed and forward. Back curves exaggerated (4) The position of very poor mechanical use of the body—head very far forward. Chest very flat and farback. Abdomen completely relaxed (seen very often these days in the absence of corsets, whether the women have born children or not). Extreme exaggeration of the curves of the back. We regret that we cannot give you pictures of these four positions, but we have tried and hope we have succeeded in making them clear to you. Faulty posture does result in a number of conditions for which the mother takes the child to the doctor for relief (1). Fatigue is the most common and, with this, poor appetite. It is well to be reminded that faulty posture will cause fatigue and fatigue will cause faulty posture. (2) Constipation in the absence of any anatomical defect is most often due to failure to respond to the normal reflex with the result that the intestinal muscles become relaxed. Or the other hand the relaxed muscles in faulty bodily positions will give the same result (3). Then there is the large class of children who complain of vague "pain" or abdominal distress which is relieved only by a correction of their bodily positions (4) Many cases of repeated vomiting in the runabouts are due to faulty mechanics (5) Bed-wetting a difficult condition to cure, may be helped by corrective exercise (6) Curvatures of the spine and flat feet respond to the same thing.
Any attempt at correction must be guided by two considerations (1) To teach the child conscious control of the muscles (2) To strengthen the muscles. Concentration on the developing of a big arm will not give the desired results. The muscles of the abdomen first and the back next are the important ones which hold the body in the upright position.

FINANCIAL CROAKINGS.
In a reel of financial prophesy, mostly of coming disasters, we found the following paragraphs, which might be studied to advantage:
In a reel of financial prophesy, mostly of coming disasters, we found the following aragraphs, which might be studied to advantage:
It is not generally advertised, but it is generally known that in Chicago; New York and other cities, there are many colored people who have brought properties on most outlandish terms, are now facing loss and disaster, because of the great difficulty in refinancing their notes. It will not be declared that there has been a long drawn out conspiracy in this respect, but it certainly has the complete carmarks of such.
It is not generally advertised, but it is generally known that in Chicago; New York and other cities, there are many colored people who have brought properties on most outlandish terms, are now facing loss and disaster, because of the great difficulty in refinancing their notes. It will not be declared that there has been a long drawn out conspiracy in this respect, but it certainly has the complete carmarks of such.
These properties were bought when housing facilities were acute, and people were willing to pay all kinds of prices, and to accept almost any kind of terms. People went for weeks at a time looking for a place to rent. Landlords became venable zares. Real estate offices put up signs: "No Place for Rent." It was a painful state. But there are places for rent almost everywhere now, by the score. In New York and Chicago, and other cities, there are numerous "For Rent" signs. The man who bought in the high tide, is now suffering in the low tide. He is short of tenants, his notes go on, his mortgages are due, and the banks shake their heads sidewise, instead of up and down, when he applies for a new loan.
Thanks to some of the Negro financial institutions of the country, and a re-determination of the new conscious of the Negro, many of these places have been saved by Negro money. But not all of them, for the Negroes who have money, many of them, will not make it available for conservative loans. That time is coming, however, more and more. More and more are white people taking away the friendly hand of friendly co-operation in real estate matters with colored America. Indeed, again, they have their fingers crossed.
So far as the housing shortage is concerned in New York, it still exists in medium priced apartments, while tenants are not lacking in numbers nor in ability to pay. If some real estate owners have bought their property "on a shoe string," so to speak, it behooves them to reduce their liabilities and increase their equities, unless they are prepared to surrender the property and are proof against deficiency judgments. Most buyers of property for investment plan for the amortization of the indebtedness on their property by yearly instalments. There is no lack of demand for apartments in the lower priced apartment houses, as was proved by the renewal of the emergency rent laws for another period of eighteen months.
Such alarmist statements as the one quoted are far beside the mark.
WHO KILLED THE GREENTHAL BILLE
The Republican County Committee hired a hall last week in order to provide room for its 2818 members to meet and act upon the charges made against the county chairman, Samuel S. Koenig, of defeating the Grenthal bil for the protection of tenants. The charges were preferred by Leader David B. Costuma of the Nineteenth Assembly District, backed by Assemblyman Grenthal. The bill had been indorsed by the county committee and passed in the Assembly, but was killed"in the upper house. The county chairman was charged with coming to Albany, upon a telephone call from real estate association officer, and using his influence against the measure.
The report of the Committee on Resolutions of the county committee was read by Judge John R. Davies, its chairman, exonerating Mr. Koenig from the charges on the ground that there was no foundation found for them. After some two hours of heated discussion the report was adopted by a vote of 1692 to 124. The Nineteenth district gave 121 votes against the adoption of the report. Most of the other districts voted solidly in favor of its adoption, despite demands that the delegations be polled. After the result had been announced a vote of confidence in Mr. Koenig was then passed. The chairman gave out a statement expressing gratification at the result and declaring again that he had nothing to do with the defeat of the bill in question.
The question of who defeated the Grenthal bill still remains unanswered, so far as the Republican organization is concerned, but the Republicans cannot evade responsibility for its defeat. This bill was designed to protect tenants whose landlords refused to make repairs required by law. It was especially needed in that part of Harlem included in the Nineteenth district, where the tenants suffer most from the rapacity of landlords and their indifference to the health and comfort of the rent payers. These tenants do not understand why this bill failed to pass and they generally sustained Mr. Costuma in his charges. Their resentment was reflected in the attitude of the delegates from that district in voting with
While the action of the County Committee exonerated the chairman, it has failed to solve the question of who was responsible for the failure of such needed legislation. It leaves another cause for dissension and resentment among the class of Republicans who are rent payers but neyertheless voters. It gives additional weight to the charge that the Republican party is more devoted to the cause of capital than human rights. This feeling, if not removed by proper remedies, will make itself felt at the polls this fall when New York will choose a Governor and a United States Senator. Republican leadership should be invested with broader vision and the qualities of human contact. Such incidents as the killing of the Grenthal bill and its subsequent developments do the party no good.
RACIAL INTEGRITY IN VIRGINIA.
According to a Richmond news correspondent, the racial integrity bill introduced in the legislature a few weeks ago would classify as "colored" some of the most prominent families of Virginia. This measure was sponsored by the promoters of the Anglo-Saxon Club movement, which seeks to prevent the mingling of the two races by marriage and also in any auditorium where they may attend concerts or entertainments. This latter custom was the burden of the complaint made against Hampton Institute by a Newport News paper, which voiced the Anglo-Saxon propaganda.
This so-called racial integrity measure classes as "colored" all white persons with any "known, demonstrable or ascertainable admixture of Negro or Indian blood" and forbids their marriage to white persons. It also declares "void absolutely ab initio" any marriage entered into between such a "colored" person and a white, thus increasing the tendency toward irregular unions between the races and sanctioning immoral relations. One student of Virginia history who had investigated the questions involved was quoted as expressing his belief that the passage of this bill would mean the classification as colored of at least a dozen members of the Virginia General Assembly. Not less than twenty thousand individuals, including some of the first families in the State, would be affected by such a law, according to this same authority. As a result of this belief various patriotic societies were said to be preparing to fight the measure. All of this tallies with the opinion expressed by the late Ben Tillman, once governor of South Carolina, who when the legislature of that State proposed to draw the line too close in defining the proportion of African blood that should entitle its possessor to be classed as Negro, warned the legislators that a certain proportion proposed would affect the best families of the State.
The reason for this apprehension as to the probable results of legislation of this sort is found in the early history of the colonies settled by the English on the South Atlantic coast. After the early discoverers consisting largely of adventurers, came hardy souls seeking to recuperate their fortunes, who settled in Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia. Their hardships were many, including famine and disease and hostilities with the Indian tribes. Further emigration to populate the colonies had to be stimulated by exporting jail birds and criminals to replace the losses by death. The service of these forced immigrants of both sexes was sold to the planters, the men as servants and laborers, until they had worked out their passage money. The women often became the wives of those who paid the expense of their journey. These immigrants were called "redemptioners" and they were among the ancestors of the Anglo-Saxon club members of today.
After the introduction of black slaves from Africa, the sale of the white redemptioners was discontinued, as this new source of forced labor was substituted. The mixing of the black and white races then began and has continued to this day. One feature of it was emphasized in the early laws of Maryland regulating the status of the offspring of white women by black slaves or black freemen, until finally such unions were forbidden by the law of that state. As this mingling of the races was not confined to Maryland, the student of history probably has substantial ground for the assertion that a too rigid classification would affect many distinguished families who can trace their ancestry to colonial times.
The promoters of the Anglo-Saxon cult in Virginia need not be dismayed by these revelations as to their early antecedents. They may extract such comfort as they can from the latest pronouncement of such competent authority on the history of races as Dr. Franz Boas, professor of anthropology at Columbia University. In a recent article in the New York World Dr. Boas was quoted as calling the excited chatter about the superiority of the Nordic races "Nordic nonsense." He further declared: "Nationality is irrelevant, all nations are mongrel." These statements were made in discussing the grounds for the restriction of immigration into this country, but the principle can be taken to heart by the Virginia legislators, who are advocating racial integrity about
three hundred years too late. Dr. Boas insisted that the standards by which to judge immigrants are individuality and family lines, not the national, or racial group to which they belong. The same standards might be applied to our native population to advantage. They are stated briefly as including bodily form, physiological functioning, mental strength and social behavior. These are determined by heredity and environment. By these qualities a man or woman should be gauged, irrespective of race, color or previous condition of servitude. The Virginia legislators and the members of the Anglo-Saxon clubs should read the history of "the Redemptioners" and study the lessons of anthropology, as expounded by Dr. Boas.
WHAT CONSTITUTES INSANITY.
A few weeks ago the Washington news dispatches told about a Negro butler who visited the White House to suggest to President Coolidge that a day of prayer would be beneficial to the country. Instead, having an opportunity to present his suggestion to the Chief Executive, the visit was taken into custody for a mental examination and declared insane by Governmentzienists. His case came up later in the juncture Court, where a jury declared he be of sound mind and he was released the officer who took him in charge at the White House, stated that he intended to arrange with Mr. Coolidge to have all pool rooms closed on the day of prayer. Thezienists testified that the butler was suffering from dementia praecox and would be dangerous if allowed at large.
Evidently the jury took no stock in the testimony of the alienists and failed to surrender in the suggestion for a day of prayer at the closing of the pool rooms any evidence of insanity. There are so many suspensions offered to the President of the same general character, that to stamp this particular one as indicating an unsound intent might establish an awkward precedent. In fact, considering the tendency to view the act of prayer as a racial characteristic, this suggestion may have gone far to convince the jury that this visitor was as sane as most of the persons offering suggestions for the welfare of the nation. The latter much of closing the pool rooms would also lead to that impression, as the pool room is just known to the average jury as the breeding place of crime and the resort of criminals.
The lessons of the incident would seem to be that a hard boiled jury may be wise in conclusions than the alienists, and that a good butler should stick to his pantry and let the statesmen and welfare workers the suggesting to the President.

SHRINERS IN A TEXAS COURT.
Down in Texas the white organization known as the Shriners, or more explicitly the Nobles of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine, some time ago sued out an injunction to prevent a similar order composed of Negroes, from using the name ignia or ritual of the white order. The case came up for a hearing in the State Supreme Court the first part of this month an appeal from an order seeking to have the injunction dissolved. Three lawyers presented the Texas and national organizations of Negro Shriners, including Wend H. Smith, formerly of this city, who presented the Houston organization. James E. White of Chicago, who appeared in the national body of Negro Shriners asserted that the Shrine was of Arabic or origin, having been founded by the nin-law of Mohammed in 556 A. D. H. He declared that the Negroes made no claim membership in the same organization as the whites and that the names were not the name. The Negro Shrine was chartered in Washington, D. C., in 1904. Conceding the correctness of this version of the origin of the order, the Negro Shrine would appear to have a more logical aim to the title and insignia of the order being more closely allied by the tie race and color with the original founders. The absurdity of a group of white men in Texas, or any other State, who claim the pure Anglo-Saxon lineage and the traits to nordic race superiority, if there is such thing, wanting to masquerade in zines and baggy trousers and embroidered jackets, proclaiming themselves to be Some Grand potentates and other Oriental characters, ought to be obvious to the most use intellect. But the hearing proceeded with due diligence, although two of the judges were doubtful of their right to preside, because of the fact that both of them were Masons and one Shriner himself. Why the white Shriner could appeal to the courts for the exclusive use of the Arabian rites and other privileges, the order is a mystery to the uninitiated members of the Masonic order all over the country will be interested in the outcome of this suit.

years the Freeman had fallen from its former estate, it still preserved the original appearance that made its front page familiar. It reached its highest mark under the ownership of George L. Knox, when W. Allison Sweeney was its versatile editor. For a long period the reminiscences of its proprietor, Mr. Knox, under the title of "My Life as I Remember It," formed a conspicuous feature on its editorial page.
At one time The Freeman was the chief organ of the colored theatrical profession, it giving generous space and special attention to the doings and interests of vaudeville performers and other artists of the race. Sylvester Russell contributed largely to furnishing news and comment of the profession along these lines.
A recent mine explosion in Oklahoma was the occasion of bringing forth a letter from a convict in the State penitentiary which was printed in the Oklahoma City Black Dispatch with the comment that "no fine sentiments could be voiced by a man regardless of his race or condition in life." It read in part:
I don't know the population of Wilburton and the surrounding communities. I do know, however, that there are enough Negroes in these localities to have shown some sort of interest in this matter. I don't know if there is state here the cause of this indifference. That can be better explained, perhaps, by those in better position to know. I simply am driven to this statement, because in all my life, I have never seen so little interest shown by any group where it's own people were in distress. It's something to think over. When we charge and rid mankind for the "where does or doesn't do, we must think sometimes about what we are, or are not, doing.
This comes from one who went, who saw, and is consequently in position to stale facts as they really were. I was one of the number who went "under State orders," though I would have gone as willingly had I not been under such orders, for it's the religion of Jesus Christ, after all that we do, and not

When Federal agents raided the convict "love farm" of *Elder* J. Robertson at Absecon, *N.J.* they made the first steps toward coercing authorities of rapidly expanding portions in this and other communities of Negroes.
Under such names as "Church of the Kingdom of God," "United Praying Band No. 1," "The Church of the Ever Living and Never Dying," "Temple of the Gospel of the Kingdom," "Church of the Spiritual Star," "Sister Harrell, Evangelist," and others far too numerous to mention, and under the prefense of religious rites and religious solace, the most imbecile and impatient of all, have familiar forms of mercenary, hypnosis witherth, sorcery, alchemy, woodsom, satanism, false occultism, neurotic and ecosteric practices are carried out
Within the last two or three months this evil has grown to proportions where not a week passes without its feral rags being raised in public. First the exposure of "Sister Harrell, Kraegistell," then the rape of 14-year-old Louise Lavington and the conviction of her trauder, one "Rex" Charles for bastardy; the alleged fraudulent charges brought against "Elder" E. W. Robertson by simple minded Jessie Armstrong who lost over 4,000 to jazz religion and mercenary; the case of Mrs Wigfall of the so called "Praying Band", and lastly that of Robertson, who, fresh from a long prison term, could not resist the easy life, temptation or organizing loose morals and simple minded women on an even greater scale than prior to his jail sentence. The situation dislociates our prearranged influence in neighborhood especially mischievous on that routes and degenerates, shrinking from the rigors of work merely appoints themselves "Reverends," "Presets," "Ideas" and "Bishops" and captol unthinking women, leading them step by step down to the depths of moral perversion.
A recent official report of insanity among Negroges show that this woodyotic menace claims an abnormal number of our women for state asylums. Basically it destroys friendship, fosters distrust, wrecks homes, is a powerful incentive to crime, develops a dangerous phase of collective insanity, wipes out mora sensibilities, and violates moral principles.
the bare facts in that case show the danger of these "rooming house" churches and their self-appointed "pastors". The evidence there show this little gut about to become a mother, pointing the accusing finger at this 40-year old charlatan under whose "spiritual" guide, care and protection the mother alleged she happened to be on her absence. Charles escaped the more serious charge of rape, but is convicted in the Count of General Sessions for bastardy, where it was shown that he had a previous conviction. His is a typical case, and calls forth warning to our people leaving the sublime religion of their fathers and following so-called "occur science" posing as religion, so-called religion posing as "occur science", showing the most childish inability in distinguisht between the miraculous and the absurd, and contributing to the amount and natural
As greater competition developed in this field, there was a falling off in this department, which in time extended to other lines of news.
The greatest falling off in the character of the paper, however, was manifested on its editorial page, where the absence of original editorial matter was made up by the appropriation of articles from other papers without credit. This was the real mark of the decadence of The Freeman as an organ of opinion. It was an inglorious conclusion to a career that extended over thirty years of racial journalism.
In the days of its real power and strength, The Freeman was a creditable exponent of race journalism. We regret that its career came to such an inglorious conclusion.

But not only did I go willingly, but some sixty of my buddies went, and we worked in the cold, the rain and the mud, for three days, helping to return these unfortunates to the dust from whence they came. And these sixty buddies, black and white, some of whom have become hardened with cold exerting lonely years of prison life, were less touched than I; no more ungrateful for the opportunity to serve in a needy time; yet some, white and black were more eager to show little acts of kindness in these, hours of grief and sorrow.
This incident goes to show that despite criminal courses and prison life, the convicts retained the instincts of common humanity. The apathy of the community in face of such a calamity is not to be accounted for so easily.
"Clement's Comment," by the Rev. Thomas Clement, is a feature of the A. M. E. Church Review for January which affords diversion as well as instruction. The writer of it alleged an error in a current syndicate article on St. Augustine, which he corrected as follows:

The recent action of the city council of Atlanta in passing an ordinance for bidding Negro barbers to serve white customers, which so far as reported, has not been repealed although not effective until the mayor acts, has drawn the straighton disapproval of all three Atlanta preachers and fairly, postdemonation from religious groups. We chronicle that fact because it could not have been said on other occasions when such a frank klucker issue was up. There have been times when both the Constitution and the Journal stood by quietly and let the klan run the acknowledged capital of kluckerdom to suit its own klan tastes. The result is this new civilized newspaper in Georgia, elucidates.
"Had the ministers, the chamber of commerce and the newspapers of Atlanta the Constitution and the Journal and the Georgian—joined in the fight on the klan five years ago—or four, or even not have controlled Atlanta politics would debauched the offices of the state capital. The Georgian was beaten to its knees in an obverse effort to cheek the klan, and only because the two other Atlanta newspapers were watching to see which could obtain the most political power through the masked gang. The Constitution lost when Tarke and Simmons arrested. And the Evens wing awarded the cause of Democrat-international commissariat to the editor of the Journal.
"But is it not too late for the three Atlanta Newspapers to aid in making it really great to be a Georgian. The Klan is going to pieces—its political power is at a low ebb—but the spirit of intolerance, bigotry and race hatred engendered by the Klan still smoulders. It flocked into flame in the action of a council—a flame that can be stamped out by the newspapers and the secular and religious faith in Atlanta will face the situation fairly and squarely. One combined onslaught against the masked gang, and Atlanta will rid herself of the disgrace of being the national capital of the Ku Klux Klan. That will be a big stride toward making it great to be a Georgian."
With the statement that klucker influence is at low ebb there is general agreement. It never did amount to anything worth recording in North Carolina where it even now. Even in Georgia, where it had exercised power, it receded perceptibly, and to greater or less extent throughout the country far as can be judged the center of klucker political power now is in Indiana. The power was manifest recently in the vote of Senator's Watson and Robinson on the world court resolution, a vote which can hardly be interpreted in any other way than by Klan influence. There are tales that both Senators went to Coolidge shortly before the vote and told him their predestination and that the President, knowing enough votes, were to carry the resolution, did not greatly care about the thoroughly the embarrassing situation of the senators. Accordingly, if the story is true, they are right with the President and right with the home vote.
In Numidia, of a Christian woman and a paternal (father) was one of the great fathers of the Latin church. He is no account of his ever having visited England. Two hundred and twenty years after he was born Pope Gregory the Great commissioned Augustus the Monk to carry his gospel to England. He went (597). This second Augustus became the first archbishop of Canterbury and after his death was canonized. He served as a Missionary of England. In addition, he was greeted by a Christian woman when he arrived, Bertha, (Ethelbert King of Kent's queen). Also, there were two councils of Nicaea, One, the first and greatest of all, in 325 and the other in 787. See Hefele.
The reverend instructor later admitted "Astronomically, I am thorough with centric and am glad to have been after the geocentric age." His readers must have shared his satisfaction.
Commenting on the Steck-Brookchart count, which involves the right of nominal W. Brookchart to represent Iowa in the United States Senate, Charles Hogard, in the Des Moines Bystander.
Normally Brookchart would have received the great bulk of the Negro vote. Just a fair portion of it, a portion which he figured on, would have given him a most comfortable lead.
Once when you needed help that he wired him to give you that he wired the wire, and acted contrary to your best interest. We told him that it would cost him.
When election time came you backed up almost to a man. In doing so you served notice on the world that as far as politics are concerned, you were smote on the right check you would turn the left one, but work up a brick and in the future that same conduct may be expected of you.
The popular election of United States Senators has given the voters a weapon which they are learning how to use in some purpose.
The Providence Advance recently published these two items of racial interest in Rhode Island's capital:
The State Returning Board now has a Negro-on its membership list in the property of Attorney James E. Sucker of this city. Lawyer Heathman and late Mary E. Jackson have acted as clerks in the past but that is all the representatives allotted the colored man until up to the present time. Gov. Appointed to the Senate confirmed Mr. Stockett for his position.
In addition to radio stations WCAP and W R C This city boasts of stations 3 L F and 3 J F, regularly licensed radio stations operated by a colored expert, Rufus P. Turner. This is the first colored station in the world.
The appointment of a member of a race for a political position in the East requiring legislative sanction is so rare as to occasion comment. Radio operators are more frequently found, so the first colored station in the world may be a mismer.
"Better News Writing Needed" is the subject of an editorial in the *Arts Times*, an independent weekly devoted to the interests of the Negro population of Arizona and published at Tucson. It said in part:
There are editors among us—hundreds of them—who can write editorials whom would make Greeley and James Bennett "hang their heads in shame" men who, by their editorials alone, disaster, raise a neglected austerity, eaterm, and turn tide of public interest. They ebb to its most virile expression that they may do in their editorials—but news articles present a far less interesting spectacle.
The news columns of the average Newgro newspaper are filled with stuff written with such a lack of proper technique and fundamentals that it is the opportunity to interest men and often hurried to the work, but the practice itself beaches on identity, laziness and incompetence.
This may be because editors write news themselves, instead of degree a competent craftsman to do the work and it takes a craftsman, by the way, to effectively do the work. No editor—with all respect for that posing term—can do it without a curate knowledge of fundamentals, a constant practice to acquire "touch" good news writing, however lofty his acquaintance, however wide his acquaintance with human nature, however mental and to perform the work.
As a sample of a sugar coated paper in an acrid filling this criticism can be surpassed. The need of more news gathering bureaus and a greater writing of news articles is not mitten.
The coming contest for the nomination of a Republican candidate for the States Senator in Pennsylvania is viewed by the Pittsburg County in the following standpoint:
Mr. Vare enters the race and is no compromise between him and Organization forces, or between Governor Pinchot, and a third that thrift upon the vote safe bet. Governor Pinchot wins. Mr. Vare could and will Philadelphia county, and split Philadelphia County. The organization forces he left with just half the street and two largest counties as a mate which to meet the country vote we mean the farm and those districts in the anthracite region the people who have forcement of the liquor belongs to Governor Pinchot and get it. These three elements are cornered fight, will elect Governor Pinchot to the United States course the colored vote we want to powerless units, and we must dismiss anything they might be the would as a three-commanded force, as three sense knows, constitute the power in such a fight, and one upon whom they centered the strength.
If the Courier is correct in the notion of the political situation, I should press voters of Pennsylvania to offer opportunity to name a United Statesator, if they choose to exercise the prospect of their doing so does appear to be likely. Why not get the gather and try it.

Kittrell, N. C—Corneille Lainton of Chicago, gave a brilliant, exceedingly well-executed piano recital Monday night February 15, in Duke Memorial Hall. The program was opened with the "Fantasia and Fuge" by Bach-Liage. The second, group contained several vocalists, to tone quintiles were captivating. Then followed Chorine "Nocturne" with all of its suggestive powers, "The Colonial Song" by Graingey was played with great skill. Graingey's "Scherzo, No. 3," with its big rhythm, like chords, was one of the best numbers on the program.
Miss Lamptons graciousness of manners and intelligence talks to her audience concerning the "recalled"ered, gave the recital something of opera-lor-musical atmosphere.
President and Mrs. G. A. Edwards
received members of the faculty and
friends at an informal luncheon at their
home in compliment to Miss Lampton
after the recital. The president's home,
the New College, was brilliantly illuminated
for the occasion and made a colorful gathering. The color
scheme carried out the Valentine season
ideal. Guests from Henderson and
Franklinton were present.

DEACON JOHNSON'S
Musical Column
"Climbing Upward In
The Night"
Even the most obscure and unknowing musicians can rehearse, without being prompted, the famed lines, "Heights by Great Men reached and kept, Were not obtained by Sudden Flight.
But there is grave query as to how many have sensed the lines analytically, required the understanding of them, and applied the great philosophy embodied therein to the carting of his or her own career.
The musical, profession, with its stupendous, and exciting glare of attractions holds more appeal and more of the kind of glory that urges one on, upward to success than any other field of fiction. There are the blazing bright lights that illuminate the stage upon the brave young Apollo and flare into his consciousness; it is, without exception, his soul's awakening, and he, like the favorite Olympic God, is inspired to master sky and forest, through his gilt; the art of music and song. There is the blinding-dazle of the foolish lights that bure him on as misleadingly, wantonly and uncertainly as the jack O Lantern. His art of music he shall ride on the crest of public acclaim, that calls him onward and onward.
This is not idle dreaming, youth! For what better example need there be than Harry Burleigh, Roland Hayes, Nathaniel Dott, Clarence Cameron White, and scores of others, in the art field, and the late "Bert" Williams, the late James Reese Europe, Fletcher Henderson and Deacon Johnson in the inseparably associated field of entertainment.
The trouble with the youngster, as well as with the older buddies, they have not sufficiently digested the philosopher's second line that reads, "Were not obtained by sudden fight."
The youth of today are so much alog, and againt with the swing of living an age in a day that they cannot wait for success to come in its natural order of succession. Success comes like opportune and appointed time. And as with life codes success, so there lurke convinently within the span of every buoy and ambitious life the appointed age of success.
This appointment demands certain requisites. First, there must be talent, sincerity of purpose strength of character, and a Godly drenched soul. But prime of all requisites, there must be preparedness.
The trouble with the average practitioner is that he hears a celebrated orchestra and he begins at once to convince his entrance into same, instead of spending that same energy in preparation. He fails to understand that efficiency earned through sacrificial toil (and not trickery) placed the players in their celebrated position. He hears a fine opera and he begins at once to plan his early stage. When he enters the opera stage, this is all an utter anomie despite the laws of nature. The hand of God has not designed things so. Glory and fame and honor come hand in hand with success and success is the ruling exponent of preenaredness and fittedness.
When next you are lured into...the fancy of a sudden flight to fame, where the towering, glamouring heights backer and flicker, try to muse with our immortal philosopher who says: 'Weights or great men reached and kept, or weighed or flew the flight. But they while their companions slept. Were toiling upward in the night.'

Friar Point, Mdba. Three years ago Coahoma County, Mississippi, began and now has well under a system of Negro education which is attracting national attention. Lying in the rich Yazoo Delta and highly developed agriculturally, Coahoma County has a variety of Negro tenant population.
The school census shows 14,325 colored children, and 1,355 white children. Ninety-five per cent of the land is held by a hundred landowners in plantations ranging in size from four hundred to twenty thousand acres. The relations between owners and tenants have been good, but until years ago, the provisions for Negro education were very inadequate. There were no Negro school buildings at all; th coloured schools were conducted in churches, lodge rooms, commissary buildings, and the like.
Superintendent Makes Plans
Three years ago, P. F. Williams, county superintendent of education worked out a comprehensive plan to meet the need. The county authorities accepted the plan; a special tax was laid for Negro schools; the cooperation and financial support of the owners was enlisted; the General Education Board and Julius Rosenwald gave generous aid.
The county was divided into sixteen districts and the plan provided that in each district there should be four primary schools teaching the first five grades and a junior agricultural high school going through the eighth grade. Each junior high school has a four-room school building, five teachers, including a Smith-Hughes agricultural man and a home economics teacher, a teacher's home, and home, and an industrial building for the teaching of home economics and farm mechanics. They are well equipped for domestic, mechanical and agricultural training, storage barges, and shops well furnished with the equipment. The other six junior high schools will run about eight-thousand dollars each. The primary schools each have one or two teachers and cost from $1250 to $2000. Around every school are several acres of land for playgrounds and agricultural experiment.
A Central High School
At the top of the system is a central agricultural high school, with a four year course, beginning with the ninth grade. This school has been completed, costing $55,000, of which the General Education Board contributed $10,000 and Mr. Rosenwald three hundred buildings, including practice school, two dormitories, diming hall, industrial building, home - science building, light plant, poultry house, barn, laundry, and two homes for teachers. Surrounding the school are forty acres of land, providing a generous campus and plots for agricultural projects. This school has a capacity of three hundred and gross work, which provides special training also for teachers, farm workers and homemakers.
Seven junior and thirty primary schools are in successful operation. More than one hundred teachers are employed at salaries well above the average and the schools are running eight months in the year, as against an average of five or six for the whole state. It is estimated that it will take four years to complete the building program. The colored people are eagerly embracing the larger opportunities. It is proving equally to the interest of the white land owners, in that it makes for an efficient, steady, dependable producing class who will not only prosper themselves, but will be an asset to the whole community.
Howard Trustees Hold Semi-Annual Meeting
Howard Trustees Hold Semi-Annual Meeting
Washington, D. C.—The semi-annual meeting of the board of trustees of Howard University was held in the board room of Carnegie Library on the university campus.
The members of the board are: Charles R. Brown, Dr. Sara W. Brown, Dr. M. O. Dumas, Dr. Thomas Jesse Josee B. Dresse E. Landau and R. Posey, Dr. Mara F. Wheland, James C. Napler, Rolle Cobleigh, Dr J. Stanley Durkee, John H Rawkins, Justice-Stanton J. Peelle, Dr Ulysses G. B. Pierce, Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Gen John H Sherburne, Charles I. Corby, Victor B Deyber, Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, Bishop John Hurst, C II Pope and Dr. C Sumner Wormley
President J. Stanley Durkee in his report at the semi-annual meeting cited the very substantial progress which the university has made during the first months of the school term.
Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, in discussing his financial report to the board of trustees, gave a thorough analysis of the income and expenditures of the university, explaining in full detail the report of the auditors of the university covering the past fiscal year.
The total assets at the close of the school year showed an actual increase in the preceding year of $123,931.01. Of this sum, the current assets were increased by $15,298.23. The educational plant, due largely to the development in the construction of the gymnasium and stadium, showed an increase of $86,914.27, while the investment of trust funds showed $24,312.74 more than last year.
Report was also made by the administrative officers of the university regarding the gymnasium, arena and stadium project of $192,500, not counting $80,000 additional which has been spent to secure properties needed for the stadium area.
The board of trustees authorized that there be sent to Dr Francis J. Grimek, a properly engrossed resolutionist, to investigate its regret because of Doctor Grimek's voluntary retirement from the Board after serving more than forty years.
The Negro school population of Pittsburgh has increased at a rate of 46% per cent during the past three years. The majority of these children, represent migrants from the South. Many of them are not only backward because the educational facilities for colored people in the South were woefully inadequate but they, themselves for the first time in a complete white world.
In, the one, hundred twenty-three schools of Pittsburgh not a single Negro was employed as a teacher in any capacity. In a few, of the schools are Negro janitors. This is the only person in the whole school who is not a Negro as being acquainted with his background and understand his problems so far as backwardness and awkwardness are concerned. At the recent annual meeting of the Pittsburgh Urban League held in the Trinity Episcopal Church, John T. C. executive secretary, made an annual report to the following paragraph with reference to the above mentioned situation:
"The School Visiting Work is now considered about the latest and highest development in Social Service and the Urban League is proud to report that we established the first full time school visitor work in Pittsburgh, years ago. Negro pupils use our public school building the last three years have been increasing at the rate of 4½ per cent per year. The charts on display will tell the story. Problems naturally develop as a result of absorbing a large number of underprivileged Negro children from the South especially since there is no adult Negro in the entire 125 schools excluded. We accept our unofficial school visitor, with whom this Southern child has had any previous experience. This worker reports having handled a total of 126 cases from eleven schools. Four of these schools were given a day's service each week. Calls for her service came in from 16 other schools which had to be ignored. Where adjustments were made not requiring more than a week's follow up, which were not registered."
From this paragraph will be seen that the work done by the Pittsburgh Urban League Visitor is not only a very necessary but most productive from its good results. We also include a second paragraph of the executive secretary's report covering the activities of the League to improve the working conditions of Negroes in the working districts:
"A case in point: the League was asked to help obtain convalescent care for a seventeen year old boy, the lone support of a family of a mother and six more children. This young man's health had almost been lost by working in a part of a plant colored with yellow, sometimes three inches deep. About a year before, the father died of pneumonia contracted as a result of working in this same place, and this oldest boy had to risk his life under such working conditions, in order to make a living. The tremendous Economic waste in avoidable deaths and illness among Negroes as indicated by charts, caused by wretched working and living conditions ought to lift the attention of the best thinking people in Pittsburgh.
All of this serves to indicate the many angles to which the Pittsburgh Urban League is approaching every phase of social and economic life of the people in general and the Negro in particular of Pittsburgh
Newman Memorial Church
Rev J. W Cooper seemed to be at his best on Sunday morning at Neuman Memorial Church and stirred the congregation to the highest of enthusiasm as he preached from the Text, Psalm 27-4 "One things have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. Dr. Cooper's subject was "Attachment for God's house. During the course of his sermon he urged a deeper appreciation on the Lord, and joy of communion with God. He brought many responses from many in the congregation as he recalled many instances of the verification of the promises of the Master that when two or three were gathered together in His Name, he would be in the midst of them.
Owing to the absence of the superintendent, Miss Rebecca Williams, the Sunschool was conducted by F. W. Payne who was assisted by the pastor. The cloakroom was sent to the Home to the Aged at Kingston avenue and St. John's place and conducted the Vespers service for the inmates He was assisted by Rev J H Williams and a most delightful time was spent in the service with the old folks Rev Cooper preached again at Newman at 8 o'clock. The attendance was a well attended service by a number of visiting friends from other churches.
S. C. State College Basketball Girls Win
The Mayo High girls of Darlington, for several years champions of the Pee Dee Section of South Carolina, were unable to cope successfully with the State College Cagers. The game was interspersed with many flashy plays made by Taggart of State and Jackson of Mayo. Starting off with a rush State swept into the lead which she manifested throughout the game. Returning to the field with renewed spirit in the second half the visitors staged a stiff rally. This storm was weathered by the local cagers who finished at the long end with a score of 24-9.

_As‘a matter of-faét, fl one’ really’ wants,t6 know/ific' truth; thé Pullman
[Welfare Service, which is ‘ji operation’ in‘all ‘arge ‘terminal-districts. of the
Pullman Company, is one-of the niost commendable-movedients that the
Pultman Company .bas ever: introduced for the benefit: of its improvident
colored employes: Tlits may'seem an-extravagant assertion; it ik, however,
ja fact. Any one who has'edntact and dosling‘with large bumbers of Negro
‘workers, irrespestize. of their! émployment, yell pgree'to the authenticity of
the *statement,:-. 5 = ! = .
Dit getting-back to Mr, Freeman, and the part he plays in the welfare
work among the Pullman employes of, the New York district, it is worthy
Of note that despite the criticism to which he Is subjected he docs things
for the unfortunate ‘members of the Pullman fraternity in this vicinity, for
which, were it not for his service and the phianthropy of the Pullman Com-
pany, they would°have to appeal to. public charity for aid and help.
An illustration of this occurred several weeks ago. A young mah who
shad been in the Pullman: service for tio years, died from tubercular trouble,
‘in one of the city’s poseietagets was married, and lived with his wife in
Harlem up to the time he entered thehospital. His death~revealed_a! de-
plorable state of affairs. He had no insurince, and his wife hadn't any
fonds with which to bury him. Mr. Freeman, in his capacity of welfare
worker, found this condition of improvidence when he called to see the dead
man's wile, ul
‘On learning these facts, he went to the superintendent of the New York
office of the Pullman Company and related the circumstatices of the case
to him. The reqyfts, were that transportation for the body and the widow
was obtained to the young-man’s former home, which was in Virginia, and
the expense ofliis burial syas borne by the Pullman Company.
Now, ‘legally dri eechomically, the Pullman Company was under 50,
‘obigation to the family of this unfortunate young man. To be sure, he was
jin its employ at the time he was stricken il,but ‘he had been there only two
years, He surely must bave worked elsewhere beforerhe became one df}
its employes. Yet, it was through the welfare department of this employer!
that his wife was assisted, ip the time of-real need. And this despite the
fact that the deceased refused, when, he was working, to take out member}
ship in ng? P. B.A, of to sign Tor the Free Insurance Policy, which the!
company offers to all its employes. .
The foregoing case is not the only one in which the Welfare Depart-
ment of this company has been of service to the family of 2 deceased por-
ter. Since its iriception, whenever a porter of one of his family dies, the
welfare worker of hiis district ia op the job to sce if he may be of any}
service to the family. - ce
In view of the foregoing facts, right-thinking persons, whether they ore’
employes or whether they art outsiders, should be mote charitable if their]
opinions and comments regarding the segyices of the Pullman welare

An tem of news appearcd on fast
week's issue of this paper whick
stated that a Negro is employed as
a flagman on the Western division
of the Pennsylvania Lines, and thai
so far as was known he was the only
colored man to huld such a position
an a Northern locality:
For the information of readers, who
are interested in ratleoad news, the
Pennsylvania System 19 no the only
Northern railroad that has a Negro
trainman in its employ.
‘On the Rome, Ogdensburg and
Watertown division o fthe New York
Central Lines, there is a colored man
by the name’ of Holcomb who bas
filled every position in the service of
this railroad but ‘engineman and con-
ductor. He has been a passanger
train baggageman, a flagman, and a
head -trainman. And if he was not
a Negego, his. length of service on
railroad :would entitle him to the po-
sition of conductor.
Furtirermore, he has not been the
only Negro to work asa trainman on
this railroad. Years ago, 2 colored
man by the name of Andy Anderson
had a passenger train curt between
Syracuse and Messina Springs, tle
main division of the R. W. O. 'Rail-
read. He and’ Holcomb were at one
time members of the sane train
crew. They sere dubbed the ‘Black
Diamond’ crew.
Anderson left the raifroad’s em

is still with It. He is now a freight
