Cullen, poet, 23 year old son of the Rev Frederick A. Cullen, pastor of the Salem M E. Church, 129th street and Seventh avenue, and a student at Harvard University, was recently the unwitting victim of a rather embarrassing happening. Invited by the City Club, Baltimore, to come to that city to attend one of its midday luncheons and read selections from his book, "Color." Mr. Cullen accepted the invitation and made a special trip to Baltimore to keep the engagement. The luncheon was held at Emerson Hotel, in due course, but the Negro poet did not read his poems. For the hotel management, when it learned that the City Club's guest of honor was a Negro informed the City Club officials that no colored man would be permitted above the first floor of the hotel and that Cullen's invitation must be cancelled or the luncheon held elsewhere. It is claimed by the club manager that Cullen was sent a telegram advising of this situation but the message was sent to Harvard and the young poet was in New York at the time and so did not receive it. Mr Cullen had made other Baltimore more engagements, including speaking to the Scrubblers and the Modern Quarterly Club, and a reception at the M.C.A but his experience with the City Club and Forest Hotel management gave him quite enough of Baltimore so after calling on a few personal friends he returned to New York, enroute to Harvard to resume school duties. The Rev. Mr Cullen had Baltimore once and if a striking coincidence that one of the young poet's poems is based on an experience had in that town when he was about 8 years old, and that it has relation to this latest Baltimore experience It read.

WHITE) The present-day status of the Negro is a matter calling for serious consider, selves, and on part of all affiliated with the various organizations here of musicians for entertaining purpose correlating their resources as to security.

The various organizations here in New York which provide groups of musicians for entertaining purposes seem not to have succeeded in so correlating their resources as to secure the most effective and profitable results. There is a lack of definite purpose and arrangement, it appears, and as a consequence there has been a gradual lessening of opportunity for the race entertainer. The suggestion has been made that a permanent agency for the control of musical engagements might be a solution. Such an agency, of course, would have to share substantially in the financial reward for service rendered, and this share would have to come from the sums paid to the performers. And this is where the first obstacles would be found, for the player cannot see any advantage in giving up any considerable part of what he has been in the habit of receiving Hapharard Operations The haphazard methods of operating which have obtained for so long are based on an equal division among the players of whatever sum is received for a particular engagement—and the idea has been to get as much for an engagement as was possible. Although this has brought about, in the case of most musicians, a sort of hand to mouth existence, few of them are willing to see the advantage of a more systematized plan, whereby a player receives a stated sum for each engagement he fills, with a central agency in charge of the engagements, retaining from the gross sum a share sufficient to take care of its operative and administrative expenses. The players, as a rule, know what is paid for an engagement, and they have, through past custom, become accustomed to a division of the entire amount, each man getting the same, except sometimes that the leader is paid a larger sum, and this custom does hard expertise with the other musicians. They just can't see the wisdom of a policy which is founded on any other sort of a division of the money.

BESSIE COLEMAN, THE COLORED AVIATRIX, IS KILLED IN LONG FALL Lost Control of Plane 2000 Feet Up and Tumbles Out; Companion Also Killed Jacksonville Fla.—Bessie Coleman, the only colored aviatrix in the world was killed here on April 30 while piloting an aeroplane in a practice flight William W Willis a white man of Dallas Tex., who was handling publicity for an exhibition Miss Coleman may have given the following day, lost his life when the plane fell 2000 feet. When the engine went wrong and Miss Coleman lost control, she tumbled out but Willis fell with the plane John T. Betsch head of the Negro Welfare League under whose auspices the exhibition was to have been staged, was on the field when the plane fell. In the experiment he struck a match to light a cigarette and when he threw the burning match aside, the gasoline was ignited and Willis body was burned beyond recognition. Betsch was placed under arrest but was later released on bail. The late Miss Coleman was 26 years old and became interested in aviation shortly after the world war while operating a beauty parlor in Chicago. With money she had saved she went to Europe in 1920 and after some difficulty was admitted to a French flying school. Upon completion of the course at this school she studied in Germany and Holland and won a license to operate several designs of airships in any utilized country. While abroad she was the guest of Mr. Lukker inventor of the renowned Lukker plane. She was also presented to the Lord Mayor of Baden Baden and had the distinction of flying for the ex Kaiser's palace at Berlin and Potsdam. Upon her return to the city in 1922 she began giving exhibition flights at conventionals at nearby peering in New York, Chicago, Kansas City and other sections of the country. Her exhibition in laissez-faire planned for May I was a have included an exhibition flight and a parachute jump. It is thought that she attempted a parachute jump when she lost control of her plane but the parachute did not move. The accident resulted in the entire May Day program of the Negro Welfare League being called off and cast a glimpse pall over the city. Her body was shipped to Chicago Sunday for burial. $100,000 BEQUEST TO U. N. L. A. IS VOIDED BY COURT Will Cuts Off Wife With $25 But Gave Former Lincoln Nurse $8,000 The Universal Negro Improvement Association, which was bequeathed $100,000 by the will of the late Isaiah Emmanuel Morter, a well-to-do colored planter of Central America, will not get the money. This was recently decided by the Supreme Court of British Honduras, which also held that the 'N I A' was organized for an illegal object, namely achievement of the redemption of Africa by force. Morter died at his home in Belize. British Honduras on April 7, 1924, and his will was admitted to probate the following September. The estate was valued at $135,000 and his widow was cut off with $25 with the 'N I A' named as residuator, legatee. For months a bitter legal battle has been waged in the courts of British Honduras, the widow, Mamy Rebecca Morter and the executors sought to have the will broken while the Garveytes exerted every effort to prove its validity. The Garvey organization is said to have spent $10,000 contesting the suit. Black Cross Nurse Got $8,000. Interwoven with the legal controversy in a store of honour, Morter, at the age of 74, ceased to live with wife with whom he had lived fifteen years. After cutting off his wife, he left $8,000 to Miss Isabelle Lawrence former head of the Black Cross Nurses at Liberty Hall, New York. She received every penny without going to court. Miss Lawrence who is in her thirties, at one time was a nurse at the Lincoln Hospital. She was born in Trinidad where she now lives. In May 1923 the Central American planter came to New York for his health. While here friends urged him to engage a trained nurse. He secured the services of Miss Lawrence. Somewhat improved in health Morter sailed for home July 4 after a thirteen month stay. Miss Lawrence accompanied him. She remained only a few days returning to the United States by way of New Orleans in August 1923. She had been back in New York but a short time when Morter sent her word to come at once to his bedside, as he needed her professional care. She returned to British Honduras in November. Wife Objected To Nurse The presence of Miss Lawrence in the Morter home was resented by Mrs Morter. On a trip to Jamaica Morter is said to have quarreled violently with his wife and her sister. They accused him of laboring under hallucinations. A few months before the planter's death Mrs Morter went to live in another house owned by her husband declaring it was impossible to get along with him. Later she seduced him for maintenance and was awarded a weekly sum by the courts. This act greatly displeased Morter and he nowed he would get even with his wife. He made his will shortly before he died. In the fall of 1924 Miss Lawrence came to the United States and took passage for Paris where she had a six months holiday. The leaves organization has anounced they will appeal the case to the Prisy Council of England.

The Rev George H. Black pastor of the First Baptist Church, which was burned and demolished by the angry whites who with his wife, found sanctuary with friends in Elizabeth, plans to return to Carteret this week, to confer with local authorities, and prepare for rebuilding the burned church. Cherif of Police Harrington declares that he will afford the colored families every protection. A report that Governor Moore had ordered an investigation into conditions at Carteret was denied by Prosecutor Todan who said I have received no word from the governor or from any one else about this thing. We are proceeding with our efforts to locate those responsible for the burning of the First Baptist Church at Carteret, and when we have identified them, they will be punished. The situation in Carteret is quiet now and we have no reason to believe it will become otherwise. In any event the police there have matters well in hand. On Tuesday night the Rev Mr Reed pastor with deacons and trustees of the burned church held a conference with Mayor Thomas I. Mulshill and other town officials in the mayor's office. A committee of three Past Reed colored and Russell Miles and the Rev George Miller white was appointed to aid the church in finding a new home. The Negroes disclaimed knowledge at the man who killed the white bearer Carroll and Prosecutor John K. Toolan said he would prosecute to the limit the met who burned the church if he could find who did it. At a mass meeting held at 200 West 135th Street last Sunday by the Harlem Educational Forum and American Negro Labor Congress. Mr. Bailey, a director of the American Civil Liberties Union spoke and made the charge that pitting of white and black workers against each other in suicidal competition for jobs by employers to reduce wages was the real cause of recent rioting in Carteret N.J. Mr. Bailey contrasted the attitude of local authorities in Carteret, where Negroes were driven out of and a church burned and that of Passaic where guards and sheriffs were promptly sent to protect mill interests. Resolutions were adopted asking protection in Carteret Negroes from further demonstration and asking a Washington investigation.

C.—The board of trustees of Palmer Memorial Institute, and the board of trustees of the American Missionary Association of New York met in joint session Wednesday, April 14, in the Administration Building of Palmer Memorial Institute The meeting was to transfer the buildings and property of Palmer Memorial Institute to the American Missionary Association and to appropriate a sum of money for the erection of new buildings Luncheon was prepared by the Domestic Science Department of the school Palmer Institute is located in Sedalia, a little village about ten miles from Greensboro, founded in 1901 the school has grown from a small log cabin to a plant now valued at $250,000. During these twenty-four years of growth and development, the entire burden of support and maintenance has rested on the shoulders of the founder and principal Realizing the prominent part the school is playing in the building of character among the young men and women in the rural districts of North Carolina, Mrs Brown wished to so fix the school that in case she should be called away the institution would go on as before Raises $250,000 Endowment The American Missionary Association expressed a desire to take over the school providing the trustees raise a fund of $250,000 as the beginning of a permanent endowment With this proposition Before her Mrs Charlotte Hawkins Brown, the principal started the campaign which was brought to a close on the first of January last For this accomplishment the trustees complimented Mrs Brown Mr deGersdorf, trustee for the school, prominent lawyer of New York began the negotiations for the transfer of the property and turned over to the A M A a clear deed for one hundred acres of land including all buildings and appurtenances. Cannars Cottage the beautiful $20,000 home of the principal was included in the transfer but carried with it the condition that the home should be occupied by Mrs Brown through out the termination of her life whether in the active service or not Mrs. Brown was given authority to begin at once the erection of a girls dormitory and refectory to cost about $100,000 Fred I.

As a result of the solid Negra vote in favor of the school board issue of $1,300,000, passed by a vote of 3,716 to 55, the school board has announced its purpose of expanding $409,00 for the colored schools, in closing the completion of the splendid high school. There are local applications to this nomination for the Negra schools and there are no applications to three separate institutions in the district. to have an alteration in the middle, during the course of which Dr. Carr- ter's illness to have knocked from alice with a chair, and to have hit the husband. At the same time the student made counter charges to the teacher, character against the Father. The trouble was based on a sermon prescheduled on a prior occasion by the Holy Trinity pastor, in which he accused alleged immorality and vildishness among members of his congregation, charging that some of them were guilty of drinking and gambling, making a specific charge, with regard to crop shopping by a certain woman member of the church. References in this sermon aroused the ie of Mrs. Palga and she asked the minister for a conference. It was during this conference, in a private room the church building, that the altercation occurred. Early in 1924, the Paiges engaged Frank H. Field, a brother-in-law to Judge Frederic E. Grane, and one of the most prominent attorneys in the ten, the five suits against Pastor Hartun, the chive suits aggregating $100,000, asking damages in that sum for alleged inquiries sustained by reason of false arrest, slanderous statements and physical assault. The criminal charges, it is understood, were finally dismissed. Dr Harten, who was defended in the criminal processes by Counselor Rufus Lewis Perry of 375 Fulton street, also a lawyer of the highest rank and standing, continued Mr Perry as his legal representative. The case was on the calendar for Friday, April 30, but Counselor Perry was engaged in a case at Poughkeepsie and he secured an adjournment to May 3. In the meantime, Dr Harten had made a preaching engagement which would call him to Richmond Va for two weeks and he had planned to leave Brooklyn on April 29. He was compelled to remain, however, until after a postponement could be secured, and so he did not leave for the South until Saturday. He preached in Richmond on Sunday, but had to leave the Virginia Capital on a Sunday night train that would bring him to Brooklyn in time to answer the court call on Monday morning Aucuse Trustees of Collusion. When Judge Cropsay took his seat prompt on the stroke of 10, the *court room* had the appearance, in part, of a meeting at Holy Trinity Church, for fully a third of the room was filled with members of that congregation, most of them women, with a few men scattered here and there. Later on, others of the church group put in an appearance, and found seats wherever possible, so that they were in all parts of the room. Members of Holy Trinity Church were not generally aware of the pending suits, as they seemed to be of the impression that the cases had been definitely settled in Special Sessions Court. Indignant comment among the church membership indicates that there is a prevalent belief that some of the church officers, members of the trustee board, who are not in sympathy with Pastor Harten's ideas and methods are behind this action in the hope that his work will be hampared to the extent that they can overcome his present congregational popularity and depose him. This feeling was excused on Sunday when members of the congregation gathered in groups in the church edifice after the morning service and gave forcible expression to their opinion of the trustees they think are musical to Pastor Harten. This feeling was given additional stirring up by means of a circular distributed by the pastor calling a meeting of the membership for Monday night, 8:30, inviting "Every member and friend of the Pastor and of the race" to be present. Text of Circular This circular read as follows AN OUTRAGEOUS ATTEMPT TO DESTROY THE REV T S. HARTEN'S USEFULNESS TO GOD AND THE RACE It is a Blow at the Church and Race as well as the Pastor While women of the Race are being beaten Families are being driven from their homes, Churches and Schools are being burned, WE NEED FEARLESS AND SOUND LEADERS OF DR HARTEN'S TYPE It cannot be denied Rev Hatten has served the Race without compromising Dr. Hatten will have to appear in Court on Monday, May 3rd, 1826, at 9:30 o'clock at the Supreme Court, Fulton and Joteloma streets, opposite Boro Hall, to answer the treacherous charges by enemies who would pay any price to destroy him GREAT LEADERS HAVE ALWAYS MET WITH VIOLENT OPPOSITION Every Member and Friend of the Pastor and of the Race are requested to A MREETING ON MONDAY NIGHT AT 8:30 O'CLOCK AT THE HOLY TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH DeKalb Ave Near Franklin Brooklyn THE TRIAL A case was selected and the case went on trial Monday afternoon, being continued for Tuesday morning when it was resumed in Part VI. Supreme Court before Judge Stephen Calaghan Counselor Perry handled his forces in a masterly manner, and when the jury finally returned to consider the verdict it was the general consensus that Dr. Harten would be exonerated. A telling point was made by Counselor Perry by the emphasis with which he brought out the fact that the Court of Special Session had discussed the charges brought against Dr. Harten by the Pages in October 1923. For many returned in 1929 on Tuesday, with a verdict of "no guilty" to each of the five cases, and asso Because he said he had disappeared proof of his wife's unfaithfulness, and that age had been intimate with other men, Sarigal Fulton, killed her by crushing her head with a hammer on ast-Palm-Sunday, March 28, and then slept with her dead body every night for five weeks, according to the story he told Magistrate Miller in the Jamaica Magistrate Court on Friday, April 30. While court was in session Fulton last Palm Sunday, March 28, and court was over he went up to Magistrate Miller and startled the jurist by saying: "I KILLED MY WIFE, MURDERED HER. BUT I DON'T CARE. I BEAT HER TO DEATH WITH A HAMMER. EVERY MAN WHO WENT OUT WITH HER OUGHT TO BE DEAD; THE WHOLE WORLD OUGHT TO BE DEAD." The magistrate at first thought the man demented, especially as he added: "A public wield story of his wilt, itself coming to him in his dream." "She came down from heaven and talked with me. She told all the whites me to minister and told me to report to the police so they would send me to the church chair and then I will join her. Finally, I registrate Miller, decided to investigate. He called Detective Sebastian of the Jamaica Precinct and ordered him to accompany Fulton to his home at 16 Church street, Jamaica, and see what was to be found there. Sebastian took charge of Fulton, and the two went to the Church street house. Fulton declaring all the time that he hoped to be electrocanted so he can join his dead wife who spoke to him in dreams and bugged him to come and join her in heaven. The man declared he had returned home and slept by he dead body every night for five weeks. In th' 3 room apartment, the body of Marie Fulton lay in the bed, covered with dried blood, in an advanced stage of putrefaction. The husband said that on Palm Sunday, when he secured proof of her infidelity, he had quarreled with her and then, during the alteration, which followed, smashed her over the head with a heavy hammer, she crawled to the bed and there she died. It was long before he knew she was dead, he declared. On a short affidavit by Sabatino, Magistrate Miller held Fukon for homicide, the hearing to be held on May 6 N. J. Republicans In Annual Conference Trenton, N.

The strong resolutions presented by the committee and adopted by the conference included the following condensation of the recent Carteret ruling. The Carteret Disgrace We pronounce and condemn the recent heathenism and lawless actions of the mob at Carteret. We condemn the local authorities for arresting colored persons and not arresting any white persons. A colored church was burned and the worshipers were mobbed colored residents of that town were beaten and threatened with violence and tortured to leave their homes, but no white persons as far as we know has ever been arrested. We denounce such doings as being disgraced and as besmirching the fair name of the State of New Jersey. We all upon the Governor of this State and the Sheriff and Prosecutor at the County of Middlesex and the Mayor and Police Officials of the City of Carteret to see that the law is enforced. ward members of the jury made no pretence to shake hands with Dr Harten and express their pleasure at having had a chance to render a verdict which they asserted was amply justified by the evidence. During the taking of testimony spectators on several occasions were unable to restrain their emotions, and Judge Calaghan had to threaten to have the room obfured before order was finally restrained. The American Red Cross Mr. Fred Moore, Care The New York Age, 200 West 133rd Street. New York City. My dear Mr. Moore: You were good enough, under date of April 28th to draw to my attention the case of Mr. Major M. Jones, a veteran who was sick and needed an adjustment of his claim. I am happy to be able to tell you that a representative of my office, appeared before the Claims and Rating Board of the Veterans' Bureau, yesterday, and a rating was given the veteran of $50.00 per month from December' 2nd, 1925. A special check; in the amount of approximately $300, will go out to him today and of course, the $50 a month will be continued. It has given this office great pleasure to be of service to Mr. Jones and we thank you for calling the case to our attention. Sincerely yours. HOWARD J. ROGERS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR We urge the colored people of Carteret to bring civil actions against the City of Carteret as well as the County of Midtown, such as is provided for in the "Art of Express Mob Viocher", passed by the 1923 Legislature.

Y.-Dying suddenly on Tuesday night, April 27, leaving an estate estimated by the public administrator to approximate $35,000, Charles (Tip) Miller, colored, hostkeeper and taxi operator, is said to have left no living relatives.

BQWLES Secretary Executive Board New York Urban League NEW URBAN LEAGUE HOME IS FORMALLY OPENED TO PUBLIC (Continued From First Pages) Hundreds of friends dropped in through the afternoon and inspected the newly renovated building, noting with satisfaction how shrewdly the available space had been adapted to the special needs of the activities of the Urban League and coordinating agencies. Unique pleasure was added to the function by the Women's Auxiliary of the Leauage, who served tea to the guests. Of special interest was the evening ceremony In the assembly hall of the building, a group of enthusiastic listeners heard Miss Marguerite Wales of the Henry Street Settlement, which maintains a nurse center for Harlem in Urban League building describe the growth of this work, the largest and most active of all the Henry Street nursing districts, start-with two nurses, now carrying a staff of 24, 4,000 visits monthly into Harlem homes. Miss Mabel Nodwell is supervisor with Miss Marlon Pettiford as assistant Harding On Health Program The health program of the Harlem Committee of the New York Tuberculosis Association was described by Dr. Henry O. Harding, chairman of Harlem Committee, who gave a detailed account of the dental clinic, health lectures, distribution or literature and other activities for improve of health conditions in Harlem. Mrs. Mable D. Keaton is executive secretary of this committee "Harlem and its Needs" was the theme of a talk by James H. Hubert, executive secretary of the New York Urban League, who described particularly the Urban League approach with respect to raising the standard of living among the people and thus reducing the high death rate, which has been cut in half within the past five years. Said Mr Hubert "When 85 per cent of our mothers are forced to work to supplement the family income when children are without parental care when expenditures for food, shelter and clothing, the bare necessities of life are out of proportion to the income, we must continue to expect an abnormal community life. These maladjustments will be remedied when the Negro worker is given a living wage an equal wage, an equal chance to work at the job for which he is best fitted." Arthur C. Holden, chairman of the executive board, who contributed the architectural plans for remodelling of the building, presided, and took occasion to pay a splendid tribute to the work of Mrs. Edgar J. Parks, chairman of the Women's Auxiliary, in financing the remodeling project as well as in the original purchase of the property. 43 Workers On Dut, The headquarters building house Curtis three workers connected with the three coordinating agencies and besides assembly room there are rooms for various affiliated groups which are being largely used.

WEEKLY NOTES FROM IND By The Age Special Correspondent During the war, we heard much cant about the liberty freedom and self determination of small suspected nations, but the recent passage of the Color Bar Bill, in its third stage by a majority of only 12 votes in the South African Union Parliament shows that the intention of that government is to prevent either the Indians or the African Negro Brothers from taking active part in the administrative machinery of the soil. It frankly designs that the colored class should be either hounded out of the soil or so subduced that the white capitalists might exploit the soil and them both to their satisfaction. But the mates in their arrogance and at the heighest of their power, rampant with racial animosity, totally seem to ignore that no Empire has ever survived at the force of domination and terrorism. Russia in the pre war days wanted to color every inch of sail that she could lay hands on with Russiansism and her hopes of building a mighty Empire are shattered to pieces. Balkan States and Poland throw off the yoke of foreign domination. The history of Russia is fresh in the minds of the tortured subjects all over the world. The European powers have the greater part of the globe under their sway. The seasons of the *Storm Age* and of the *Bronze Age* are seen to lay in the *Iron Age* and are building their empires with huge armaments and are subjecting the subjects of the soil in the distant means to utter degradation diminishing over them for their own ends and exploiting them to their bitter humiliation.

Where are those mighty Empires of Babylon, Syria and Palestine? or Rome, Greece and Egypt. They are all now tading in the myths and memories of the past. It was that Kaiser that carried the propaganda on Yellow Peril about twenty five years ago that made Japan a nation and the Kaiser himself is left biting his teeth in his retirement. China and the Land of the Rising Sun, India and Persia have all shied the signs of Asiatic Awakening.

A'Lelia Walker Is Bride of Youth-Tune Fiance (Continued Below Page) In striking contrast to the elaborate- ceremonies which attended the marriage in New York of Mme. A.Kolla Walker's adopted daughter, the ceremony here was of simple and modest proportions. The only attendant was Mrs. Sara Price Patton of New York City, who accompanied the bride on the trip, and the Rev H. L. Herod officiated. This marriage marked the culmination of an interrupted romance that had been a cherished desire of the bride's mother Early association led to the plighting of the troth, and this was with the fullest sympathy of the young girl's mother But fate interposed with the inexorable determination, and then followed separation, other marriages, and the carving of a career But time has smoothed out the rough places and removed the obstacles, and so at last the two lives have come together in a smoothly flowing stream Mme A'Leilia was her mother's heir is mistress of Villa Lewaro at Irvington on the Hudson, presides over the Walker Studio on West 136th street, New York City, and is president of the Mme.

"I was so weak in my back and sides I could not go about. I was too weak to stand up or do any work I felt like my back was coming in two. I lost weight. I didn't eat anything much and was so restless I couldn't sleep nights "My mother used to lake CARDUI For Female Troubles so I sent to get it. I improved after my first bottle. Cardul is certainly a great help for nervousness and weak back. I took six bottles of Cardul and by then I was well and strong, just did fine from then on. Cardul helped me so much." Thousands of weak, suffering women have taken Cardul, knowing that it had helped their mothers or their friends, and soon gained strength and got rid of their pains. Cardul should do you a lot of good. EX-111 PAGE THREE participants on the program were the Rev. E. R. Afflit and George H. Hinton, pastor of the Corona Congregation at Church, Corona, N. Y.

The show stopped and the manager longed at the student, who hit tum also. By the ume the police arnved the student and his companion had found seats in the orchestra, to which they were entitled. Six policemen on the complaint of man- ager escorted the student to the station house. where he was held four hours for aight court.

The Jewish drive for funds to relieve the needs of the impoverished population of that race in Central and Eastern Europe will continue until May 9. The object of this campaign is to raise at least six million dol: lars by that date to avert the calamities that now threaten the Jews in Poland, Rew: mania and ,Russia, Former Ambassador Morgenthau told an audience at the Cam- paign headquartera, that he feared the cco- nomic crisis would lead to a tragic out- break in which the Jews will again be the vietims. Corttributions to this fund can be sent to the treasurer at the Biltmore Hotel, Mr. Paul Baerwald. As Jewish philanthropists have figured prominently among the sup- porters of many charitable and welfare insti- tutions condueted for the benefit of Negroes, it would be a grateful recognition of this fact far our people to contribute as gen- erously as possible to this drive. AN UNWIB8E BILL. Representative Royal H. Weller of: the Twenty-first district of New York has in- troduced into the present Congress a bill to amend the act to incorporate Howard Uni- versity, by changing the method of electing the trustees. The amendment provides that the government of the university shall be vested in a hoard of trustees, not less than heighteen in number, to be appointed and elected as follows One-third appointed by the Commissioner of Edueation. one-third ‘elected by mail ballet of the alumni of the ‘university under alumni auspices and thesé two-thirds thus appointed and elected shall at their first meeting elect one-third addi- tional trustees to complete the required number In our opinion this bill would be unwise legislation, and its passage would in no way work for the improvement of the gov- ernment of the umversity It 1 clearly im the interest, of those members of the alum of the institution @hose intemperate dpiticiam and indiscriminate charges have done much to ard in the unsatisfactory con- ditions that at one time threatened the well- being of the umversits Under present conditions the alumni have representation on the hoard of trustees, and the members of that body can be trusted to select its new members with an eye single to the best interests of the university UNIVERSITY EXCLUSION Something of a sensation was created last week in high educational circles by the charges that the Icading untversities of the Fast were discriminating against the ade mission of students of the Jewish race The charges were made by such responsible cit- azens as Adolph I-ewisohn and Gustavus A Rogers at a luncheon held to discuss the ‘raising of funds tur the proposed Yeshiva of America a Jewish institution of learning, located in New York City According to a report printed in the New York World, Mr Rogers asserted that several Eastern universities had discreetly informed heads of preparatory schouls that it would be wise to leave Jews out -n filling their quotas of appheations Mr Lewisohn said thot his own grandson had been exclided from a large Fastern universits Demals of these harges sere nut eluw ‘n coming from several ot the smatitutions in the ternitors indicated President Hop- bins ot Dartmouth ' nrierentys on New Hamp- shire im reply te a: anquiry from the World, sent the fallow inp telegram Relesing charges that universities in gen eral are ditcriminating against Jews to be false and the reasane averibed for thie agens us by pathesre but n-thag e'te Statement of these Rentlemen en ta as Dartmouth 1 canerened, haynes cembianes ot truth and my basis in fact Am be ong. stewhat vmpattens at REMUOUS sRiereetali nF emtan evs teme ed respertive ce eges ies different groups who see in these syciems prim iples neve: considered fre rare ag we began rete tan of en rollment ta 2900 the number thes en-olled, hevand abuth we auld abt an with wt detuning educational advarcage which Darin auth aul offer Thy has recessiated refusal ef hundreds of apptications cach year and for preeent vear appheatians tor admiation t9 freshmen class number more than 1800 and represent ratio af three te one -o number which ran be ar cepted There are undoubtedly ans tewe in niimber dechned but we hare om reason te cup pose and do ret believe petsentage varie iste percentage de ir don uther group President Vaume ct Brown Une erste Rhode ksland. wa. eperted bo othe Asso ies seers (niichalaia ta kate ioniente: taste y been eene | ickbt sheaead bo? alaceanboasnce Denne ot Oorhoe ie estes ations Tee aa veraltipniaya, to: (alas: thats func [tiona: ins sralhing” leedeta. 46: eeriRERWHS: aba) Airset vee prepares vie. afl Udy aie Bs ACE: SHAER S vee se ald Sey iis trifited. -.among::; the /cNarieus ipa that. make: up: they total Sparen citeipe IC cauilly: important that the Ten cre.of Riese’ groupe, should compe in contact with one snake dur- ing their period of training and learn to understand the language and seasoning peculiar to each group, 1¢ will eqtablish 2 ‘firmer basis Cor the mutual development lof correct ideas and aid in the growth of. true democracy ypon the theory of which American instifptions are founded. If the popular demand for col- lege education has grown to such jan extent, that entrance restric- tions are necessary in order to keep the enrollment within the Hirits, let the restrictions be: based upon fitness. Apply such tests as will demonstrate the abjlity of the applicant to utilize his training to the advantage of himself and the community. Dif- ferences of race and color should only be considered as emphasiz- ing the need for such training and as necessary elements in the training of others. The presence of these diverse elements in uni- versity life tends to broaden the individual outlook and create e deeper understanding of the prob- lems of humanity. University exclusion along the lnes of race or color can only lessen the use- fulness o1 the institutions prac- tising it as instruments for char~ acter building. ed PES 0 hiye'geidt, {Brows ‘Uhiversity has never excluded and never will exclude any mar on sectarian or racial grounds,” The officials of Yale’ University at New Haven. affirmed that 2 man of any face or creed whe had proper credentigls-and train: ing was eligible ‘for enrollment. Columble University in this city made an official statement to the same effect, The restrictions on enrallment, admitted in the statement by the president of Dartmouth, . have been considered necessary by. oth- er institutions on the ground that the great inereage in appli- cations for college entrance over- ran their capacity and required a selective process to reduce the quotas. The graunds on which such selection was to be made ‘were, to be determined by the Officials of the institutions con- cerned. It has long been an open se- cret that several of the pioneer colleges in the admission of Ne- gro students, had lost some of their former liberality of spirit. While colored students who came within the requirements were not excluded from the education- al facilities of these unveraities, they were no longer taken into’ thd college life and’ if possible without too great publicity, they are excluded from dormitory priv- ileges. A notable instance of this attempted discrimination was furnished in the attitude of the Harvard officials toward a son of Roscoe Conkling Bruce, him- self a Harvard graduate, It took the official action of the Harvard board of overseers to grant young Bruce dormitory privileges and reaffirm the reputation of the tni- versity for broadness and nber- ality.

Hence when this proof of our Lord's bodily necessity rests as a man who is God, maturation Himself to Thomas and others, the telling of the facts concerning it satisfies the will of God and gives hope to mankind. Therefore note the context as well as the text: "But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Dilysus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him. We have seen the Lord. He said unto them. Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into His Side. I will not believe. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them; then came Jesus, the doors being shut and stood in the midst and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith He to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold My Hands; and reach hither thy hand and thrust it into My side; and he not daithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto Him, My Lord and My God. Jesus saith unto Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou has believed; blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." Our Lord the Emmanuel is alive. While, like Mary, we may only know Him by His Mary speaking to us and like the apostles on the way to Emmaus, by the burning feeling of love and holiness in our hearts as He walks and talks with us by the way, day by day 2 p.m. Sunday school The evening service was very inspiring. Patricia Bolden continued his discourse of the morning service Grace Congregational Church On Friday night of last week the Brotherhood of Pullman Car porters held a great meeting in Grace Church. The speakers were W. H DesVerney, A. L. Totten and Hon. A. Philip Randolph. The pastor had a closing word Mr Crosswalth presided. The addresses were all excellent. Mr Randolph spoke for an hour without the least sign of weariness on the part of his audience. It was a great evening delightfully spent in a great cause. The Sunday services at Grace were well attended in the morning and afternoon. The evening service was small. The Pastor Dr. Garner spoke on, "Considering Jesus. Heb 31—The large congregation that heard the sermon seemed to enjoy, every word of it. Mrs. Bertha Ferrabejo joined the church. A marriage at the parsonage took the pastor away immediately after the benediction. The contracting parties were Albert H Hunt and Mrs. Lullan Burke The four of clock musicale was given by the Jeter, Werr, Jeter Trio. The church was well filled with music lovers of the city. The program was rich and most artistic. The violin, the cello and the piano were turned into rivals of the Capitol Orchestra on Broadway. These musicians are artists. Among the authors and musicians were Dr Melville Charlton Mr Hill, Mr Murgetheon, Mr Johnson. The variety of the program was a balanced unity. It was wonderful. A return engagement is announced for June 7th the arrangement for the Sunday afternoon is in the hands of the pastor. A reorganization of the Y. P. S. C. E. will take place May 21st 1926. The Young People of the Church are eligible to participate. The night service of the church was addressed by Dr Fur Baldwin of Clinton Avenue Congregational Church Brooklyn. The pastor overlooked the date of Dr Baldwin's appearance and the audience was small, but the sermon was large. One of the very best The Marriott Gras at the Armory May 14th was announced and members urged to give their duty. The Daily Vacation Bible School is being prepared for by the church school teachers.

The pastor was ad dressing his audience upon the theme "Good Sunday. Sacredness." Shipmaster. The speaker went on father to son. Where are we told to keep the first day of the week, Sunday? We are commanded to keep the seventh, but where are we commanded to keep the first? I go to the rest of Sunday and Divine authorization or law enters About that day the New Testament gives that word for hint. Emmental Bapst Methodist and Episcopalian scholars declare in the books and in their speeches that under the lid of the Bible there is not a single sentence which says we must the distance of our Sunday lab. the Lord. When it serves our convenience and purpose we change both time and law. We switch from standard to day light saving time. Must our neighbor be not included to change with us be solely punished. We change again from the age-long recognition of Saturday to the observance of the new day. Sunday. Shall we take those who are not disposed to change with THE NEW YORK AGE WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH us, and thrust them into prison or impose a heavy fine upon them. Are we just and fair when we do it. "Edward T. Hiscog, a Baptist divine says, "Sunday was born in the camp and ranks of the heathen, nurtured in the lap of the Catholics, and later bequeathed to Protestants as a precious legacy. Yes, Sunday is not a child of legitimate nor honorable birth. It was never holy nor sacred. The reason why it is respected in any wise is because church folks have given it respect. God in Heaven has never called for that respect. "Saturday is the original Sabbath day. Despise it as much as you like. Christ, the apostles and the good old prophets kept it. Your frame of mind toward Saturday cannot alter the fact that it is the seventh day of the wreck. The last day of the week is the only day God ever commanded anybody to upstart, a usurper, a counterfeit. That makes it thoroughly wicked to make and force compulsory Sunday laws upon any one." Mt. Calvary Methodist Church Rev. Dr. J. N. C. Coggin occupied his pulpit last Sunday morning. He delivered an instructive sermon on the subject "The Place of the Sacrament in the Church" Dr. Coggin emphasized the fact that men cannot now, even in this highly commercial age treat the Sacrament as a commodity as they do almost everything else, and derive money from it. After his sermon, Dr. Coggin received five people into the church. The Sunday school held its session at 2 p.m. and was well attended. The Christian Endeavor at 6 p.m was well attended. In the evening Dr. Coggin again occupied the pulpit On last Tuesday evening the Rev Dr. L. H. King, editor of the Southwestern Advocate, delivered a most inspiring and interesting lecture on the subject, Methodism's Contribution to the American Negro. He showed that Methodism first gave the Negro education and the church Salem M. E. Church Making his first visit to Salem Church, Bishop Mathew W. Clair preached, the evening sermon last Sunday.

He being the first Sunday it was also communion day and Dr Cullen assele from preaching the morning sermon served the sacrament at both services.

Special services will be held at Union Baptist Church Sunday (Mother's Day) Dr. M. L. Glenn, from Atlanta Ga.. will speak at the evening service. Fleet St. Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church Among the largest congregation that have greeted an evangelist in recent years were those that attended the services on Sunday. The entire church, galleries and auditoriums was filled and chairs were placed along the aisles to give more accommodations for the great throng. Others could not get inside the hutch. The evangelist Rev. Rex W. Wilson Beckham was at his best. His subject, The Future State of the soul" was convincing and had its effect. Ning persons were conscripted and added to the church. Like persons were baptized. This was in keeping with the routine work at the church program observance of the best Sunday in the month. The Sunday school held its session at the regular hour at which time the anniversary must was sung and the annual rally launched for the occasion. At 3 p.m. Dr. Beckton's meeting for women and girls was held and the evangelist was fully conscious of the large audience of women before him He gave some healthful advice to the womanhood of the city that reached at the er, and at the evils that drag down the morals of the sex and kill the hopes of the pure womanhood His subjeet "Two kinds" Women depicted the sex of modest and unmodest women all the forms At 4 p.m. the meeting for women was held At 7 45 the Society of the Sons of North Carolina and Women's Auxiliary were guests at the church Rev.

Church answer of Jesus so that theory, the life, while we have trivial lations as outlined in the text, Christ has provided a comforter, and it is in the presence and person of the Holy Ghost. We can so resist the influence of the Holy Spirit that we drive it away. Some people are misled and misunderstood the relation of Christians to the world. We think because we join the church that all problems are ended; this is not so. This is a world of trouble and of problems. However there is an Overruling Prividence who controls the way and has all things in His power. This way is illuminated by His Divine Presence, and is a beautiful way. Life is perfected through suffering, but we may rejoice in the fact that Christ has conquered death for our sakes, and as we travel along the illuminated way the path grows more brighter and the highway leads to the Kingdom of Love. The following persons joined the church Murphy Murphy of 35 Marion street, Elizabeth Smith of 440 DeKalb avenue, and John Moultre of 717 Gates avenue. A feature of the morning services was the splendid manner in which the junior choir rendered the anthem, "Rejoice in the Lord," by W A Shawker. The Sunday school met in the afternoon. The committee on ratings, which was headed by Mrs G V Lundy made its report. Under this system the school will be brought up to the highest standard of efficiency At the evening hour the main auditorium was filled to capacity. It had been announced that Prof A S Jack son secretary of education of the A M E Church and the Rev J. G. Robinson, editor of the A M E Review, would speak at the church. However, both general officers of the church were unable to be present. The Rev I S A Cooper one of the pulpit orators set the A M E Church, was called upon by the pastor to speak, and he delivered a powerful sermon. His topic was "The scheme of Salvation. The text was Isaiah 65 17. The class leaders are rallying to the appeal of Dr Tyler and are making every effort to make this a banner year for annual conference claims. The Junior Church will meet for organization on May 7. It will be set apart on Sunday May 16. There has been formed a junior usher board by fourteen young men of the church Oliver Cromwell Bascombe has been chosen president. Holy Communion will be celebrated this Sunday. It will not be served at the evening service as this service will be devoted to Mother's Day. Siloam Presbyterian Church At the morning hour of worship at Siloam, Rey George Shippen Stark, pastor, delivered the morning message from Revelations 2:19 Many saint points were brought out in his sermon Today, if we are better than yesterday we are making progress Christ in every case first praises notes the good, then the evil. All should practice God's method of praising the praiseworthy. This is the method of the Lord because He sees the childstown going on in the right direction until he comes to the goal which is the will of God. The Christian life is a life of continued progress it seeks to be better in everything Power properly exercised grows stronger. This is the law of life.

CLARK, Editor 8000 Fans See Jack Johnson Stage Comeback in Mexico Nogales, Mexico—Jack Johnson, former world's heavyweight champion, won a fifteen-round decision over Pat Lester, of Tucson, Arizona, in the bull ring here Sunday afternoon. May 2 Johnson won every round by a wide margin, hitting Lester at will with terrific uppercuts to chin and body. Lester proved himself one of the gamest fighters by absorbing the ex-champion's terrific punches and punishment and forcing the battel throughout. He was cut to ribbons in the third round but kept coming Johnson emerged uninjured and apparently fresh. The fight was fought beneath a blazing sun before 8.00 people came out at the American line. Spider Kelly lesters manager and second tailed to outwit the cagey Johnson, who fought as a child, apparently in wonderful physical condition and showing his teeth in a broad grin at all times. He seemingly took delight in toying with his opponent after he found him possessed of concrete skin and body. Lester who has beenighting for three years and who has never been stopped was considered the best heavyweight in the West but he was helpless before the old master. As the last bell rang, Johnson requested the Universal Service correspondent to announce through Universal Service that he is back on the boards and he challenges Dempsey or any other heavyweight in the ring. Johnson was challenged at the ring-side by Luis Firpo through his American representative and also by Bill Fate colored heavyweight. The gate receipts were estimated at $30,000 and thousands of dollars were lost on Lester.

Mr. Muldoon announced that he favored a bout between Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey for the heavyweight championship of the world, although the public had been led to believe that Willis had been accepted as the logical candidate. Nearly a year ago the Commission accepted a forfeit from Wills and ordered the champion to meet him or become ineligible in this state. Dempsey continued his dodging tactics and was supposedly placed on the ineligible list. But with Mr. Muldoon's announcement, it seems that he has been playing a hugh joke on Chairman Farley. The third Commissioner, George Brower, has sided with Mr. Muldoon and a bitter fight is on among them. Ex-chairman Muldoon's term expires on June 1 and it is not believed the Governor will reappoint him. His friends and Tex Richard's friends are using their influence to have someone holding the same views as Muldoon named while the friends of Chairman Farley are seeking to have a man of the same opinion as the chairman appointed As was pointed out in The Age more than a year ago, Tex Rickard controls all boxing in New York City and the East, largely through the use of the millions of John Ringling, the chief stock holder of the Madison Square Garden. Rickard is a southerner and has many of the prejudices of the South, although he got his start through promoting a mixed bout between Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries. He had been opposed to a Dempsey-Wells bout from the first. Not because he feared race riots or any aftermath of such a bout but for personal reasons. He doesn't want to see a Negro as the world's heavyweight champion and he has a personal dislike for Paddy Mullins, Walls manager. He didn't want to see Tiger Flowers become the middleweight champion of the world. Jess McMahon made the match for the Flowers-Greb bout and although Richard tried to side-track Flowers for Micky Walker, Chairman Harley made him stand by the agreement. Chairman Harley is a personal friend of Governor Smith and the general impression prevails that unless he can control the boxing of the state through his chairman, he will order the repeal of the law.

Board Minneapolis Walter French n.e. Since the recede visit to the United States of Chief Nana Amoah II of the Pantis Tribe, Gold Coast, West Africa, during which period he was referred to by the metropolitan dailies as "King," some of the race papers in this country have published stories declaring that Nana Amoah was no "King" and that he was, in fact, a fake. The Age was recorded an interview by Rabbi A. Josiah Ford, of the Congregation Beth B'nas Abraham, now located at 200 West 135th street, himself a direct son of the Fantus Tribe, who Andrew J Johnson, Mr. Rockefeller's Amoah's rank calling attention to the fact the title, "King", was erroneously applied by the white papers and that Chief Nana Amoah III had himself called attention to the misapplied appellation. Said Rabbi Ford Some of the "Negro" newspapers of America, through some vicious and misinformed persons have printed articles alleging Chief Nana Amoah III of the Gold Coast, West Africa, as a lake. It is deplorable that here in the U. S. of America such ignorance and calumny can be hurled at the American Negro people by their own newspapers on account of the lack of foresight and intelligence of their own newspaper men. Chief Nana Amoah III of the Fani-tis, one of the oldest and most honored tribes or kingdoms of West Africa, is not a fake; but the colored people of this country (not the thinking white people, they know better) have been faked by their own newspapers by what I term an ignorant and unthinkingly vicious attack upon an Honorable Chief and most worthy son of Africa. I am exceedingly grateful to this newspaper for permitting me to state to the American public that Chief Nana Amoha III of the Gold Coast IS the ruling Chief of the Gold Coast under the British Protectorate of West Africa and is the direct lineal descendant of one of the oldest Royal Families of West Africa. My father, as a soldier, fought for and with his people, the Fantis in the early African wars of 1870 and thereabouts. These were my father's personal experiences. The Chief has in his possession the undisputed badges and the sceptres of African authority. I saw them with my own eyes. I saw him and am personally acquainted with him myself. Furthermore there is among our group our representative, Counselor E J Lovelace of 455 Lenox avenue, who has just returned from West Africa after visiting the Chief, shown through his domains, and actually are companying him in his official and judicial office among his people in West Africa. I have also in my possession two leading English newspapers which speak in glowing terms of the attendance of this African Potentate, and the wreath of flowers presented by him, at the funeral of Queen Alexandra of Great Britain, with his photograph reproduced in the very official robes he wore on that occasion. These robes I have had the pleasure of approaching him in myself. Chief Nana Amoah did not at any time style himself "king". Africans do not do things that way. That misake was made by the white news papers here and even these misake shows that at least the white newspaper had the businesslike acumen and the courtesy to interview him, which these particular colored newspapers did not. Also, I have in my possession a letter in which the Chief personally deplores the mistake and advises us which is the proper official way to address him. Where? Where? Where? do these Negro newspapers get their "news" from? Permit me to make an appeal to these Negro newspapers—Think think think! Do not lend yourselves as tools for the serious propaganda of irresponsibles. Your people need you. They need education. They need Truth. You have an honorable and responsible office. See to it. Do not sink into ignorance and meanness Thanking you A JOSIAH FORD Rabbi Cong fleth Bral Abraham 200 West 135th St. N.

All went well until the crucifixion scene. They laid Harry out on his back on an improvised cross made of old boards. He said he was innocent of their intentions until one of them started to hanger a twenty-penny nail into his hand, with a large rock Harry howled, and the Passion play stopped right there.

"A neighbor told me of and I began its use. I never have found so much relief as it gave me. I would not be without it. It seemed to cleanse my whole system and made me feel like new.

Advertisement of the affair will be found elsewhere in this paper. Entering its fifteenth year, this club is the most outstanding achievement of what Pullman porters can do, of, for and by themselves, if they will only try. In the summer of 1911, a dozen or so New York porters, who were averse to frequenting the ordinary pool-room and bars of the then thriving saloons, which were in those days common places of meeting for most of those of this fraternity, conceived the idea of forming an association among the Pullman porters running in and out of New York. The main objects these men had in mind were, first, to secure a place in which they could socialize and fraternize; second, to have a club home to which the most particular and exacting porter might bring members of his family and kid to enjoy an evening's entertainment third, to organize a sick and distress fund for the members thereof. The Pullman Porters' Benefit Association, of which we hear so much of late, was not then in existence. So, from that handful of porters in 1911, whose biggest assets, then were ambition and pride, an association of Pullman porters, the only one of its kind in the United States that owns the building in which it is housed, employs three stewards and one lady secretary the year round to handle the service and business of its membership, was formed. Today, the Pullman Porters' Club of New York is known wherever a Pullman car runs. And knowledge of its existence is not confined to Pullman employees, but men in more substantial walks of life are acquainted with some of its activities. Its forum meetings on Sunday afternoons have been a phase of its entertainments that has given much food for thought to those who have attended them. It was at one of these meetings that a prominent New York business man last spring made reference to certain economic conditions in the community, which reference caused considerable refutation from the clergy of the vicinity. It was also at one of these meetings that Mr A Philip Randolph, organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, expressed the idea that Pullman porters' should be unionized, although it should be added that the club as a body has always kept aloof from all activities along this line. Furthermore, the men who were instrumental in helping to form the Brotherhood are not members of the club. But the state of influence and affluence that this association has reached and now enjoys has not been without its years of trials and vicissitudes. In the first years of its formation, the outlook for continuance was extremely dubious, for, like the average young organization, some of those who were at the head were more ambitious for self than they were for the progress of the club. Fortunately, these were in the minority. The majority of the founders were men who had the interests of the association at heart, and they believed that with a man of the right calibre at the head it would weather the storm of dissension which was almost about to wreck it. Those who had that idea began booking around for a president in whom they could place utmost confidence. This man was found in the late J W Llewellly, as fine a type of man and fellow-worker as ever donned the uniform of a Pullman porter. Under the presidency of Llewellly the club began an upward march, and continued in that direction during his incumbency. He was succeeded by Thomas F Richardson, who also did much in improving the stability of the club. It was under his direction that the present home of this association was made second to none in Harlem in point of equipment and furnishings. The present president is J Francis Cooper, who resides in Brooklyn, a member of ten or more different fraternal orders, and a veteran of the Pullman service. This year will mark Mr Cooper's fourth as head of the organization. Under his intelligent and unsellish guidance, the club has continued to prosper. Since his tenure of office he has sponsored many innovations that have benefited the association in its social and fraternal improvement. It was he who first suggested that the organization enrol as honorary members men of the business and professional world, who on account of their vocations, could not become active members. Among some of those who live in New York are Editor Fred R Monroe Drs Hudson J Oliver, U Conrad Vincent the Reverends J W Brown and Geo M Oliver Counsellor D C Outlear, W C Perry, I L Madocer and others. Among the Brooklyn honor members are S A Gobbs, Chas H Waters, Charles W Vann Dr R Johnson, and others. Charles H. Vaughn, the executive officers, besides Mr. Cooper, are H. Brooks first vice president, Harry C. Jackson, second vice president, W. H. Dover third vice president, Wm H. Bowe, treasurer, G H. DeForster, financial secretary, Chas H. Gardiner, recording secretary, L. L. Perkins, chairman of House Committee Picked Up Here and There The position of sign out clerk at Mott Haven Yards, which was held by Charles H Hunter a former porter who has been promoted to the job of porter-instructor at these yards is still open, so this column is informed. From a source which may be considered reliable, it is stated that the superintendent of this district is very much in favor of giving Hunter's former job to one of the veteran porters in the district but that none of these employees have shown any inclination to want it, that is, none who are capable of filling it. Several applications for the position have been received, it is reported, but these are from porters who have not been in the service very long. It is the opinion here that to prove to the porters' body that the Pullman Company is sincere in its efforts to advance the interests of its Negro employees it would be well for the superintendent to disregard length of service in this case and give the opening to one of these young applicants some of whom are ready and willing to accept the place it is said on probaion as to fitness. The annual memorial services on the Grand Central and Penn Terminal Districts of the Pullman Porters Benefit Association of America will be held at Mount Olivet Baptist Church 120th street and Lenox avenue on Sunday afternoon May 16, at three o'clock. Preparations are being made with the idea in view of having this year's commemoration of the district's dead the most impressive ever held by the association in this vicinity. NOTICE!
