U. S. SUPREME COURT
SHUNS JURISDICTION
Says Case Involves No Constitutional Question In Meaning Of The Code
Washington D. C - The United States Supreme Court has refused to assume jurisdiction in the case brought by Mrs. Helen Curtis and Mrs. Irene Hand Corrigan, a white woman involving the right of a Negro to purchase a residence in an area where the white property owners have entered into a covenant not to sell to Negroes.
In 1921 white residents of a block on S street, northwest, including Mrs. Corrigan, executed an indenture agreeing that no part of certain tracts which they owned should be sold leased or given to a Negro, the contract to hold good for twenty-one years. In 1922, Mrs. Corrigan entered into an agreement to sell a house and lot to Mrs. Curtis
White Seek Injunction
John J. Buckley, one of the white owners, then sued in equity in the Supreme Court of the District to enjoy Mrs. Corrigan from conveying the property of the District to Mrs. Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals, granted the junction asked for by Buckley and Mrs. Curtis and Mrs. Corrigan appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
It is this appeal which has been rejected by the highest court, which sustains the verdicts given in the lower courts.
Mrs. Corrigan in the lower court moved to dismiss the bill on the ground that the indicture was void. Mrs. Curtis also moved to dismiss holding the covenant void in violation of the constitution.
The Supreme Court said, Under the readings in the present case the only constitutional question insolved was that arising under the assertions in the motions to dismiss that the indenture or covenant which the basis of the bill is void on that it is contra to and tobidden by the Little Thurteenth and Fountteenth Amendments, less contention is entirely lacking in substantive色彩 of merit.
Constitution Not Involved
It is only out that none of these amendments prohibiting private individuals from entering into contracts respecting the control and disposition of their own property and there is no whatever for the intention that they rendered the indefinite and painfully the claim urged to such that they were to be immensely hurt with the provisions of

Supt. Conroy Bans Misleading Circular Sent Out At Jun. High
Further developments in the matter of the alleged attitude of Miss Elise Kornmann, principal of Public School 110, toward her Negro pupils were brought to the fore in a conference between Dr John P Conroy, District Superintendent Miss Elise Kornmann, and Attorney Miles A Paige Thomas B Dvett and Williams I Patterson, at the office of the District Superintendent of Schools, on Tuesday afternoon, May 25.
The meeting was held after Dr Conroy had received a request from Mr Paige, for a conference. As a result of the conference Dr Conroy ordered Miss Kornmann to destroy the circulars as reproduced in part in the Age last week which she has been distributing to the school children and which, it was stated she herself had drawn up and paid for. The Interfraternity Council, composed of three representatives from each of the colleges in this community, was empowered to draw up an answer to approval a circular to be issued in its stead
Mr Page was given the privilege of presenting his program to the school children at any time and although Miss Kormmann interposed the objection that it should only be presented to the senors, Dr Conroy said that the program was for all the children. Miss Kormmann asked that someone other than Mr Page present the program because the tell that he had a feeling against her. Dr Conroy said he was not aware of waiting Miss Kormmann's objections.
When Mr Page said he had been told that he was the teacher, Dr Dubh said he was in School where he were sufficient he was asked as he was his information. Miss Kormmann denied that her staff was aware of her and Dr Conroy asked who made it in charge. Mr Page said that he informed was unable to tell that he did not feel justified in discussing his alternatives. Whereupon Dr Conroy said to have stated that hear evidence was now allowed to him. However Mr Page said that hear evidence was acceptable in the courts' law under certain conditions.

Miss Kornmann Denies Charges That She Is Prejudiced Toward Negro Pupils Attending Junior High School
Denying the implication that she has proscribed girls from entering classes that prepare them for high school or college Miss Elise Kornmann, principal of P S 136, the new Junior High School for girls at 135th street and St Nicholas avenue, asserts that she is free from prejudice and that in her attitude toward the colored pupils of her school she maintains ab
College Men Protest Policy of Principal Of Public School 136
On Friday evening, May 21 a special interfraternity and sorority meeting was held at the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity House, 203 West 188th street, the home of Haa Chapter 10, consider the question of education in the local schools with particular relevance to Public School 136. The meeting was well attended by representatives from the following Omega Phi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternities, and Delta Sigma, Theta, Alpha Kappa Alpha and Zeta Phi Beta Sororities.
The purposes of the meeting ere presented and a free discussion was engaged in, with special attention to most hand information as to the attitude of Miss Elise Korrmann, principal of the Girls Junior High School, No. 30, located at 135th street and Edgecube avenues, about whom match agitation has been aroused as a result of her alleged refusal to cooperate with the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity in presenting Go-To-High School, Go-To-College programs.
Alluring Miles A. Page, who served as chairman for the occasion, outlined the course of events leading up to the expose of the alleged policy of the principal. The group present at the meeting felt that although Miss Korrmann had some admirable traits, she was the possessor of some erratic and mistaken opinions which had been imposed upon the girls in her school.
Outline Plan of Action.
The question then arose as to what should be taken it here presented that two courses were open. (1) In request her removal from the school upon the ground that her influence is detrimental to our youth and her present attitude is seemingly unchangeable. (2) to endeavor to inform her of the intentions desires as determination of the community.
A permanent interfemale committee was ordered to be formed composed of the president, where not a public school teacher, and two other members in each chapter of each of the above triumphs and sororities, otherwise three members from each. The committee was requested to formulate detain plans of procedure to protect the higher education of our youth and to call upon the principal of the Junior High School No. 13b, to request the calling of a meeting of parents of the pupils to the purpose of forming a parent teacher association.

solutely a standard of fair play and equal justice to all
It was charged in an article printed in last week's Age that in an interview with Counsellor Myles A. Parge, Miss Kornman had expressed herself as being opposed to having the colored girls enter courses in her school that would lead to higher educational courses. She was charged with advising children to enter courses that would limit automatically their eligibility to enter courses that would lead to lighter study opportunity
In a talk with the editor of The Age Miss Kornmann specifically and categorically denied having taken the position assigned her. She declared that in her talk with Mr. Page there was no reference that could be construed as implying her to be prejudiced with regard to racial affiliations. Attention was called to the fact that in its article last week The Age had quoted Miss Kornmann's dental in practically the same words but she expressed the opinion that as the denial was printed at end of the article referring to her and on an inside page that many readers of the article would not read it or give it the value she thought it deserved
Fullest Opportunity For All
Retterating her position. Miss Kormann declared that she believed in giving every child the fullest opportunities without regard to race or color and that in P. S. 130 she emphasized this attitude in all instructions to teachers in the school.
Reciting details of her work at 130 Miss Kormann said that when receiving the appointment last Jung (1925) in terms to Reitz, 130 as principal, she left to teach with principals of field schools and asked them to give her ratings and standings of pupils in various classes with recommendations as to courses for which they were best fitted. This data was furnished her and was taken by her on vacation to be studied and classified during the summer. This was done so that when she took up her duties in the tall she would be able to start work with an organization graded and classified according to the data contained in these ratings.
This was done said the principal but after about three weeks it was discovered that this classification was not accurate and that some of the pupils were wrongly placed. Reorganization followed based on requests from parents who shed their children's courses changed.
Vocational Teacher Assisted
In preparing for promotion following the first term Mrs. Vice President Brown teacher, the main guidance was called to constant intercourse and she gave the sex and most effective cooperation in solving reorganization problems said Mrs. Kornmann.
As a matter of fact said the school head no girl was ever refused admission to a desired university unless overage unable to do the work in University High classes. And for the overaged pupils there is provided a 2 year Adjustment Course on which they are specially trained and instructed that they may be assigned to other classes of their show fitness.
Ms. Kornmann declared that teachers in her school are not taught to give every opportunity to the pupils in their classes and are advised that if they are not interested in complying with the school's requirements, an assistant signatories must be asked. She said that these teachers had been transferred because an unsympathetic attitude. She asserted that there is no dispossion on part of teachers to dismantle the child environment entering the unrestricted course and that it was not true that teachers made no conscious effort to the school to improve it. She offered made the helpful and to get the largest result through both teachers and school.
High Attendance Average
The principal used finger to bring that a cage attaches a hat placed 10 as a mark. In schools, but that in the school post is 18th with a sitting showing points above the average in the junior High schools. The school has a principal governing stem with a mascot and board of trustees. In sessions, the organization questions students include big nose, neatness, care of dress and body and related subjects. Trained nurse will was with Miss Kornmann and supervising the children's personal health the physical training department at the principal the best equipped among the school. Additional apparatus is to be added on next term.

A. M. E. Annual Conference Marked By Revival Of Bitter Antagonismus Which Stirred Brooklyn Churches and People
The Revs. C. P. Cole and M. W. Thornton Clash on Matters Of Church Polity With Regard To Recognition of Group Antagonistic To Cole Pastorate at Bethel Church
(Continued From First Page)
which was Sunday Dr Cole contended that Sunday was not the proper time to endorse any one for the high and holy office of bishop. A number of other ministers took the same view, but were voted down.
There were no changes in the important charges of the conference. Dr. Thornton was retained as presiding elder, as was the Rev S. H. V. Gumbs. The Rev. H K Spearman was returned to Bethel Church, New York City Dr Edward E. Tyler was returned to Bridge Street Church and the Rev Dr C P Cole to Union Bethel. Brooklyn
The first day's session was devoted to organization The Rt. Rev Wm. H. Heard, presiding bishop of the First Episcopal District, called the session to order, and during the course of his address made a plea for Christian fellowship, greater recognition of the women in the church, and more general differences, and cease playing so much church politics, and show more of the Christian religion.
Dr. Lowber Was Put Aaide.
The brothers soon forgot this, for when it came to the election of a chief secretary, the Rev E. T Paul was elected, as many put it, for the sake of church politics, as it was freely discussed that a conference was held the day prior to the meeting of the conference and Dr Lowber was asked to step aside. Not wanting to hurt himself politically in this district, he gracefully took himself out of the picture. The Dollar Money reports show that Bethel Church of New York City leads the connection with $2.025 raised. This makes Dr. Spearman the connection for the year Dr. Tyler with a smaller membership than Bethel, came second with $1.510. In a evening session the Rev W. Spencer Carpenter delivered a soaring stirring to a vast throng. The crowd was so great that an over-flow messaging was held in the Mount Lee Baptist Church, of which the Rev J. W. Hamlim is greater. It is beyond the street from St. John.
D. Cole Started Fireworks.
The fireworks started at the second day's session, when Dr Cole read a resolution pertaining to a group of former members of Union Bethel Church, who had left his church and who took advantage of the fact that his church was officially known as Union Bethel Church of Weeksville, and incorporated themselves as Union Bethel Church of Brooklyn. While this group had a legal right, it was emphasized that it was morally wrong for a band of Christians to do this, as every one who has been baptized as a length of time by the church location Dean street and Scheinetectady avenue as Union Bethel Church Brooklyn for the old village of Weeksville is now aborbed in Brooklyn.
In the incorporation papers this group declared themselves independent of the A M E Church. The Rev W M Thornton, who wants to be a bishop in the A M F Church, rushed to the defense on this group, not, as one put it, that he loved them, but that it was a chance to hit his doctor Dr Cole, who also has aspirations for the bishop. The Rev Mr Thornton fought the resolution bitterly and brought out the point that he had advised this group that they could on behalf of the A M E Church in a regular way. He did this, as some asserts to cover up for the reading of the papers of incorporation was Dr Cole's act, the bible to use the language of the street.

case, it is alleged, they apologized, and now he has forgiven them and is willing to take them in. It was also brought in the resolution that this group has secured an injunction against the Brevort Savings Bank, in which the original Union Bethel has funds, and has been able to tie up over $3,000, which was placed there for a building fund. In order to stand by Dr. Thornton, Bishop Heard ruled that the new church would be called "Union Bethel No. 2," and Dr. Cole's church "Union Bethel No. 1." This brought a wave of protest but was of no avail.
Women Had Flurry, Too
After the storm had subsided the treasurer of the conference, Dr. A. L. Wilson, made his report. He was unanimously reelected.
At the evening session, Missionary Night was celebrated. Dr. D. M. Baxter, manager of the A. M. E. Church Book Concern, was the principal speaker of missions, was unable to be present. On the third day the session was devoted to routine business. The afternoon session was given over to the Women's Mite Missionary Society. Owing to the serious illness of the president, Mrs. Ophelia Lawrence, the vice-president, Mrs. C. H. Whaley, presided.
The ladies, not to be outdone by the men, also had a little excitement. This occurred when Mrs. Edwards, a nurse, came in to make a slighting remark to Mrs. A. R. Whaley, who was about to resent it in a forlorn manner, but several sisters restrained her.
The evening session was devoted to Education Night. Dean Carter Woodson of Payne Theological Seminary, Wilberforce University, was the principal speaker. The Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor of the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church, brought fraternal greetings from the Interdenominational Preachers' Union of New York City
Brooklyn Battle Revived.
On the fourth day Dr. Cole started something when he made a motion to recognize the final action taken. Resilience so the matter of the so-called Bethel number 2. He was bought by Dr Thornton. A number of friends came to Dr. Cole's rescue, and so did a number of Dr Thornton's. The climax was reached when former presiding elder Joseph Stiles, told the Rev. I. Newby to "sit down". Dr Newby was so enraged at this that he started towards Stiles in a menacing manner. But he, like all of the previous who had become belligerent was calmed by the brothers. It was finally decided that if the former members of Union Bethel Church would withdraw fruits entered against the pastor and the church, and the present incorporation papers cancelled they would be taken in the conference. This they agreed to do through their mouth-piece. Pressing Elder Thornton, and they were assigned a pastor on the following day of the conference
The efforts of Dr Thornton to get this group in was contrasted to his fight against a similar group who left Bethel Church New York City several years ago, when he was pastor. The question was raised by several persons. If the group that left Bethel, New York City could not be taken in, how could this group consistently be taken in?
Question President Coolidge
J G Robinson, editor of the A M E Review, also caused a star, when he called attention to Presidet Coolidge's talk about States' rights one day, and in another issued an order for the enforcement of prohibition that artfully wiped out state laws. He raised the question of he could do that for the 18th Amendment, why not do it for the 13th 14th, and 15th Amendments?
On the fifth and last day which was Sunday, the bishop delivered the ordination sermon, at which time four elders were ordained, and three deacons were ordained. The Rev C P Cole was chairman of the ordination committee.
In the afternoon the conference met at the Ralph Avenue A M F Zion Church of which the Rev. J H McMullen is pastor who had extended an invitation to the conference to meet there. The principal business was the teaching of the appointments. Briefly to the S. Episcopal priest secretary of the Lunenburg Committee of the conference reported that nearly $11,000 was issued by the conference during its session $7,247 of that being Dollar Money.
Thornton For The Bishopric
Resolutions were read thanking the pastor of St. John's Church for the privilege of holding the annual conference at his church, also thanking the pastors of Mount Lebanon Baptist Church and Reign Avenue Church for opening the rulers to the conference. This resolution was followed by an endorsing Dr. Hornton for the bishop opener. Dr. Cole opposed this as being in place on Sunday for a mock vantage of many men who did not want to speak on the motion on Sunday which is dedicated as God's day. The bishop overruled Dr. Cone and the resolution was adopted over the protest of a number of ministers and the power.
Bishop Heard, who is 75 years old,
adjudicate for his years, was presented with a set of resolutions congratulating him, and also was given a certified check of $200 from the men of the conference. The Women's Mijb Missionary Society gave him a dollar for each year. Then the question was asked if this signalled the amounts given by other annual conferences in his district. So she wrote money in a blank check which makes this conference second to the Philadelphia conference, which is the largest in the Flint Episcopal district.
The two preiding alders were then given purses. If popularity is to be considered, Presiding Eldar Gunzis is the more popular of the two, for he received over $102. Dr. Thornton did not get half as much, according to reports. The actual amount not being announced.
A number of pastors received beautiful bouquets of flowers and sums of money. Among them were Dr. H. K. Spearman, Mrs. Hopkins making the presentation speech in behalf of all departments of his church. The Rev. E. E. Tyler was remembered by the three stewartess board of Bridge Street Church, with flowers and money. Mrs. Snowden presenting them. Mrs Ellen Dee, one of the oldest members of the Church, made a presentation on behalf of the members and friends of the church. The stewards of the church had already remembered him in a very tangible way.

Sidelights On The New York A.M.E. Annual Conference
Despite the religious nature of the gathering the human side of the preachers was in evidence. The leading men of the conference, with the exception of DR Spearman and Dr Tyler were continually playing church politics with an eye to Indianapolis. Ind. where the General Conference will be held in 1928. Delegates will be chosen next year when the annual conference meets at Bethel Church, New York City. In selecting Bethel Church, the machine of which Dr Thornton is a part, Jim, and did not have his Alabam, Y. Dr Thornton was also deceived when it came to selecting, the place when the electoral college will sit. He wanted to go to Yonkers, but Flushing was chosen.
One preacher stated that Bishop Heard would have done wisely to have transferred Dr. Thornton, Gumbel and Cole out of this conference, then he would have peace and harmony, but added that he could not do this for he was obligated to them for bringing him to the First Episcopal District as presiding bishop, especially Dr. Thornton who was a member of the Episcopal Committee which is composed of all of the leaders of the various annual conference delegations makes the appointments. This committee is made up of the men who get the highest number of votes as ministerial delegates to the general conference. This pastor took exception to this method of assigning bishop for if a certain bishop wanted a certain district, he would have to deal with these men and therefore come on the district obligated
An amusing incident occurred when Dr Thornton made a motion to place the Rev David Lato on the retired or superannuated list Dr Cole his friend by enemy took the wind out of his sails by also moving that a public collection be taken Dr Thornton asked to sing and before Dr Stiff could begin Dr Cole started off with a soul reviving him.
It was rumored that Dr Thornton went to the Baltimore and Phil adelgah conference demanding a certain big church in this conference but when the appointments were read he was still presiding elder, and did not get the big church.
One brother a member of a big church who had quietly acquired a pet that was collecting elders, and did not get the big church that patron of mal administration was took into showing a copy to a friend of the pastor and then wrote the layman that he did not fight under him but in the open. So the brother did not produce the petition.

Salem Church To Send Dr. Fred. A. Cullen On Long Holy Land Tour
Plans are being perfected whitelyby Dr. Frederick A. Cullen, pastor of Salem M E. Church, is to go on a trip to Holy Land the summer as an expression of the devotion of his congregation.
Actuated by a desire to honor their pastor and to perhaps be instrumental in aiding his health the members have undertaken this task.
As soon as the idea was known about the church the entire membership went to work as only a people could whose hearts are full of gratitude for one who has been their spiritual leader for many years, the movement has struck a responsive chorus in the hands of many of the friends and well-wishers of Salem and they, too, are lining up the membership in raising the necessary funds.
The itinerary will lie through some of the principal cities of the continent, to the land where Jesus once trod, Egypt and Northern Africa, returning by way of England. Dr. Cullen's physicians have endorsed the plan and claim the trip will be just the thing for his health. Dr. Collegp will be accompanied by his son, Countee Cullen.

Six or seven years ago, when the flow of the colored population to Harlem was in its early stages, much apprehension was manifested by some of the white residents and property owners. The advent of a colored family on a block would often be followed by the removal of the white tenants, while the owners of adjoining-property would become panic-striken and endeavor to sell at any price. The flight of the whites before the advance guard of colored tenants caused equal alarm to the retailers of that section, who feared a loss of trade due to the change of population. This year extended to the center of the shopping district on 125th street, where one of the department store owners exhibited his consternation to a reporter of one of the great dailies
This white merchant expressed himself as fearful of the future of his business, owing to the loss of patronage that would follow the removal of so many of his white customers. Seven years later, the same reporter had occasion to visit 125th street and stopped in to see the department store owner. In response to the query as to the state of business, the merchant said that it was never better. The fears that he had entertained as to its falling off of because of the shift of population turned out to be unwarranted. On the contrary, his business had grown and prospered because of the many new customers drawn from the Negro residents. In fact, he added, he could not ask for "better spenders."
The reputation of being good spenders is variously regarded by different schools of thought. To the old school modeled on the maxim of Ben Franklin, that a penny saved is a penny gained, the term would probably savor of reckless extravagance and willful waste. The more modern school of political economists, while admitting the advantages of thrift and economy, insist that spending within bounds is necessary to the development of trade and the promotion of industry. A buys' strike such as happened once or twice during the years of adjustment after the war proved demoralizing to both retailers and manufacturers as well as to the workers employed in various branches of industry.
But the spenders, if they are to justify their position should insist that they receive full value for the money that they keep in circulation. Not only should the articles or commodities that they purchase be of sound value and essential to their comfort and well-being, but the money should be circulated in such wise as to bring further benefits to the spenders. While the bulk of the Negro trade in Harlem goes to the stores on 125th street the owners of these stores do very little in the way of employing colored alemen or saleswomen or even colored porters. With the admission that the success of retail business in this section is largely due to the good spenders of the race there should be some practical recognition of this fact by giving places to colored employees in these establishments.
Some enterprising merchant who appreciates the value of such good spenders as his customers should be induced to try this means of attracting trade. With the backing of the colored population such a movement should bring results mutually helpful. Let one of our gave organizations best qualified to move in the matter set the ball in motion. The idea must be sold to the retailers the employer and finally to the people interested in it to make it work out successfully. Good spenders should get the worth their money in ever way possible. And the race should have the value of its good spenders.
PROMOTION FOR THE POLICE
When Commissioner McLaughlin promoted Patrolman Samuel L. Battle to be a sergeant to police he set a precedent for the New York Police Department. At various times in the past Negro officers have been made temporary detective sergeants, but Officer Battle was the first of his race to become a fullfledged sergeant. Appointed to the force in 1911 he had been on the eligible list for promotion for several years but like others had been passed over three times by the previous commissioner. Sergeant Battle was the first Negro to be appointed to the police force since con-
solidation, although several now been appointed in Brooklyn before it became a part of the greater city. Of gigantic stature, he was commended several times for the quick wit and energy he displayed in police work. With the others who received similar promotion, he was told that it was warranted by their records and a continuation of their loyal service to the city was expected.
Crelit is due Commissioner McLaughlin for the precedent he has set in making this promotion solely on the merits of the case. It will put heart and ambition in the other Negroes on the force, who may expect to receive a fair deal in the way of assignments and promotions. Other men of the race who have entered the department and made good records include William Boylan, whom Commissioner Enright made a first grade detective, now attached to the West 135th street precinct. The first Negro to be made a detective was the late Wesley Redding, while the name of Robert Holmes, who was shot to death while making an arrest, appears on the honor roll at Police headquarters. The first Negro to be appointed to the force in Brooklyn was Wiley G. Overton, who is still living in that borough, although he resigned from the force a number of years ago.
The Negro race has earned its right to be enrolled among the members of "the finest." as the force used to be dubbed by its ancient admirers.
REPUBLICAN AILMENTS.
The best political authorities on the sides of the fence seem to agree in the statement that the Republican party is in the ailments that beset the Grand Old Party, aptly personified in the figure of the giant, are variously diagnosed as range from cold feet, induced by wet propagation, to degeneration of the backbone caused to great bending to the inimical forces of the enemy. Weak knees are a symptom which might fit either disease. Of course, leaders of the party do not put the factly this way, but the wisest of them admit that something is decidedly wrong. Representative Ogden L. Mills, who spoken of as a logical candidate for Governor of New York and who is regarded responsible for the present county lead-up, recently pointed out the trouble among republicans in this State, as fear of Governor Smith. Former Representative Martin Ansorge, who so ably represented the twenty-first district, attributes the trouble within city to the same cause. With the two eminent Republicans, it seems to be the case of too much Smith. In a measure of true, but these leaders did not go enough into the matter to analyze the reasons why Governor Smith is able to deprive republicans at the polls, when other Democrats fall by the wayside. It is largely because the Governor takes up the people of the issues before the people, even the Republicans originated them. It entitles the battles of his home town, declares home rule and opposes up-state control of local affairs. We hold no brief for Governor Smith, but we realize that he is critical courage and sound judgment, who are enabled him to cope with hostile public legislatures with measurable success. The degeneration of the Republican party not confined to this city nor state. The ailments in its internal policy are cited in Congress and in the various state where it has control of the government.

Weak knees are a symptom which might fit either disease. Of course, the leaders of the party do not put the case exactly this way, but the wisest of them admit that something is decidedly wrong.

EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS
The New York Evening Sun is becoming more and more addicted to the promiscuous use of the term "Negro" in its headlines. Invariably some member of the race is associated with crime. The policy of the editors seems to be that of emphasizing Negro ignorance and criminality. The intelligent, progressive Negro seldom gets into the headlines. In two consecutive days the white readers were told that "Sportswoman, 60 Attacked By Negro." "2 Negro Bandits Slug 'Gas' Dealer," "Negro Pastor in Hoboken Accused of Stabbing and 'Voodooism Flourishes in Harlem. These are typical examples of the method employed by this paper in promoting 'better race relations.' And then we wonder why the race as a whole is so generally misunderstood."

The day following the Pennsylvania primary in which William S. Vare defeated defeated George Wharton Pepper for the Republican nomination for United States Senator the charge was made in the Senate by Democrats that a slush fund of $5,000 had been spent during the campaign and an investigation was asked Pat Harrison who is Senator from Mississippi because the Constitution of the United States is being flagrantly violated, as usual led in the pious outcry for honest elections. So bitter was his arraignment of the methods employed in Pennsylvania to capture the Senatorial nomination that Senator Reed of the Keystone State became disgusted over Senator Harrison's hypocritical and inconsistent attitude and said "I want to say a word about the Senators (Harrison) structures on the expenditures in Pennsylvania
For instance, in the Senate last week, the anti-lynching bill which has been endorsed by Republican conventions and statesmen, for the past decade, was buried by the Judiciary Committee, by a vote of nine to three. Only two Republicans voted for the measure., Senators Cummins of Iowa and Ernst of Kentucky, besides one Democrat, Ahurat of Arizona. The nine Senators who voted it down in the committee were: Republicans—Borah of Idaho, Means of Colorado, Harreld of Oklahoma, Deneen of Illinois; Democrats—Overman of North Carolina, Reed of Missouri, Walsh of Montana, Caraway of Arkansas, King of Utah. Three Republicans were absent and failed to vote; Norris of Nebraska, Gillett of Massachusetts, Goff of West Virginia. One Democrat was also absent, Neely of West Virginia.
This is the sort of thing that illustrates the dangerous character of the ailments that have been preying upon the vitals of Republicanism and turning its blood into water. Besides the more apparent maladies referred to at the outset, we have to suspect the existence of more obscure and insidious illa, which have brought about degeneration of will power, loss of solution to carry out its pledges, hardening of the arteries against the throb of conscience and the decay of judgment and power to abide by first principles. The Republican party is in a pitable stage of decadence and dissolution. Whether it can be saved from dissolution by the infusion of new blood is a question. The work of rehabilitation seems to be too much for the present leaders.
The main reason for this decay of the vital spirit of Republicanism is its desertion of the cause of human rights and exaltation of material issues and sordid ends in its present day policy. A party that sounds a higher keynote of service than this is needed to redeem the pledges of Republicanism. Revive the spirit of the leaders of the past like Senators Conklin of New York Hoar and Dawes of Massachusetts. Cullom of Illinois. Chandler of Michigan and others of that type.
NEGRO PRESS MENCKENZIED.
When H. L. Mencken went to Boston a month or so ago and, standing on the historic Common, sold a copy of his magazine to an agent of the Watch and Ward Society, for which he was arrested on the charge of vending immoral literature, though discharged in court, no one could anticipate the aftermath of this revolutionary episode, a addition to the free newspaper advertising given the intrepid editor, the Jane American Mercury contains an article by a real Boston newspaperman, on the Negro Press, one in the best of Menckenese, the writer of Eugene Gordon, who has manifested facile acquaintance with his subject. Mr. Gordon has earned the reputation of being a severe but conscientious critic of Negro newspapers, through his articles which appeared some months ago in Opportunity. His seemingly arbitrary conclusions to merits of outstanding papers of this group were founded upon a system ingeniously devised to weigh their merits and deserts in the way of news value, editorial value, excellence of features and make-up, the result of his ratings, while disappointing to the majority of those rated (or bested), were deserving of study by all those interested in the development of northwhile newspapers.

The Senator forgets that the population is over 9,000,000 and all our adults are permitted to vote. In the Senator's home State where three fourths of the citizens are disfranchised in doubtless is not necessary to spend a dollar. The press dispatches fail to inform us that Senator Harrison replied to this verbal bombshell or what, if anything he said. Perhaps the arrow of truth struck home wounding a guilty conscience. Maybe for once a wagging tongue was temporarily stopped. Yet who is more to blame for the violation, the fifteenth and fifteenth Amendments to Mississippi? Senator Harrison of the Democratic Party or Senator Reed of Pennsylvania and the Republican Party.
The charge in one against white school officials that they have systematically set about to discourage the co-educated school children of Harlem from taking a general course in the Junior High Schools has been cryptically referred to as a lynching of youthful ambition. That any sort of the people should have the children center into such an alleged plot seems incredible. However there are many parents in Harlem who be have these astounding report to be true. In justice to all concerned a thorough investigation ought to be made and at once No race issues should be injected. There should be no display of passion. An important question at issue is "Have the parents of children been consulted as to what course of study the child should take?" It is gratifying to note that Harlem Negroes are expressing confidence in Mayor Walker and the Board of Education to whom they look for a square deal.
gan on the Boston Post; in 1919, he having received his academic training at Howard University. He also had experience in editing copy on the Post and has had charge of that paper's short story contest since 1920. He has also done special work at Boston University in journalism and English literature. His qualifications for his task of rating Negro newspapers would therefore appear to be sufficient to entitle his conclusions to respectful hearing, if not to entire acceptance.
But it is as adapter and follower of the Menckenese manner that Mr. Gordon is most enjoyable and contributes most largely to the merriment of his readers. He begins his review of the Negro Press with the time honored example of Freedom's Journal, although he omits to mention the name of John Russworm as its editor. He aums up the 220 journals, more or less, published in thirty-six States and the District of Columbia and read by five million people weekly, as marked by "yellowness," flaunted as a badge of progress. He quotes headlines from the Chicago Defender and Whip and the Pittsburgh Courier to justify his criticisms. One of his other comments, which does not appear to be so well fortified, is that "the Negro press, of late, has become brazenly irreligious." Sports and theatres are defined as the Samese twins of Negro journalism and ample credit is given to individual writers and papers for these departments
Mr Gordon asserts that the race press does not contribute to the aid and comfort of the criminal by suppressing intelligence of his misdeeds, but "most of its papers display the dirt generously and in the open." Work for social improvement is declared to have lacked organization and system. We quote him as follows
The Age, in its campaign for improved housing conditions, the Amsterdam News, in its fight to compel the employment of colored young men and women in Harlem stores: the Boston Chronicle, in its struggle in behalf of the benighted of the South End and Roxbury for adequate social centres and the Defender, in its continuous battle with sloven unwashed hosts from Southern plantations these are examples of progressive papers and the contributions they are making to the social betterment of their readers.
But it is in his comments on personalities of the editors of the Negro Press that Mr. Gordon is most redolent and unctuous in his application of the Menkenese touch. We give a few examples
Trotter was born in Boston and got from Harvard both the A B and A M. But there is nothing in the eight pages of the Guardian to indicate the fact. It is one of the most poorly written Negro sheets in America.
Another editor who bears a reputation independently of his paper is Ben Jeff Davis of Atlanta leaulous contemporaries "whisper that the square-jawed Atlantian's feetattle like dry bones in Lincoln Johnson's shoes but in his Atlanta Independent Davis brands this a base."
There is no doubt that the Chicago Defender is a remarkable phenomenon in American journalism without reference to color or class. Its founder is one of those persons who may look to the casual observer like a nondescript nobody and set a man of brains and accomplishment. He is Robert S Abbott. Essentially a news paper man he has made of the Windy City sheet a paper which closely resembles in certain particulars Hearts's wellknown rags that his realistic contemporaries still hint that Hearts is the real owner. That Abbott never denies the rumor is proof of his self-assurance.
Carl Murphy grew up with the Ace American (Baltimore). When his father, Bill John Murphy, died in 1951, Carl came fresh from college with a year in college in a student culture married to thirty six with born six glasses shielding unusual large and brilliant eyes. Murphy is essentially the news page man. He is ingenious in his method, and an excellent educational guide. The New York Age is the ancient hard of black newspaper den and Fred R. Moore, the old man. He has lived with and been father to her for nineteen years. She is a fine brain in a somewhat passive body.
Mr Gordon has painted the Negro Press with a broad Menkenese touch setting forth some pertinent facts with striking force, and accentuating the account by the space of personalities not unmixed with malice. The arrest of Menken on Ristorante common should have its sequel in a complimentary testimonial to
Gordon from the editors of the Negro Press, whom he has held up to good-natured derision and acorn. Even "the ancient harridan" might join in such a movement, if the testimonial could be devised to assume an appropriate form, say a cap and bells, or a part-colored doublet. For Mr. Gordon's use of an obscene Elizabethan epithet can only be accounted for on the ground that he was wearing the motley to accent his mentality. The style of Mencken does not fit his proportions.
REAL SOCIAL SERVICE
A campaign for providing real social service is on in Harlem. The object is to raise three hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars for the welfare of the community, the agency for this work being the Urban League. The work itself embraces such multifarious jobs as the saving of the lives of babies, preserving the health of families, helping the breadwinners to get steady employment, adjusting disputes over the payment of rent and assisting the needy and distressed in whatever way may be necessary. All this is part of the work of the Urban League, the motto of which is "not alms, but opportunity."
This is a work that appeals to men and women of all creeds and politics and in all walks of life. The rallying cry of the leaders in this drive is "Help Harlem to help itself." The genuine instinctive racial impulse to lend a helping hand to a brother in distress is counted upon to make the task of the organizers of this campaign infinitely lighter than it otherwise might be. Those
Hailing him as a new leader in New Jersey politics, the Red Bank Echo commended the choice of Attorney Oliver Randolph as president of the Colored Republican Conference of New Jersey. It said:
Randolph is coming to the citizens, who are under the banner of the G O P as their leader and it behooves each and everyone to stand back of him to see that the work already started by Dr Cannon is not abridged. The Echo believes Mr. Randolph will give the best that is in him for the welfare of our group and that he will stand four square on all questions pertaining to the civil, political, and social life of our group in New Jersey.
Let him and his co-workers for ever keep before them their predecessors' aims and ideals
The need for sound and progressive leadership along political lines is especially acute at the present time.
Referring to the movement started by the Negro Business League of Los Angeles the Pacific Defender said
Tuesday of this week was the beginning of what is being celebrated as Negro Trade Week and the program is said to be for the purpose of stimulating business among Black Americans by inducing as many people as possible of this particular race to trade with the men of their own group who are in business.
The system of promotion has long been worked out by the people who are responsible for this present-day advanced civilization, and the world of business as we know it gives credit for its success and splendid progress to the press, which it has used in promoting interests through advertising its wares and publicity on the advantages of its development.
Our business men and especially those who have entered upon this organization of a business league, have either neglected to avail themselves of the use of its own press or else they have failed to recognize its importance. In either case they have made a great mistake for the press as a part of the business world so necessary that it is impossible to ignore it and any attempt to advance with it helps and supports spells fail.
The desire to advertise with an eff er to stimulate business is a sure way of immining the mark as the Dfender perturbments suggested in its headline

For instance Le Angel Er En Club opened its meeting with prayer after which whistle and fife hundred were the discussions of the evening. The fascinating game featured in the club title was not included in the program apparently. At a meeting of the Mary Church Terrell Art Club the program included a reading, "I met my Jesus Face to Face." Other clubs included in the directory were Royal House Wives Economy Ono and Booker T. Washington Tour Club. Activities in Nashville seems to embrace many diversified features of improvement and entertainment

The work of the Urban League, which was organized in 1812 and incorporated as a national body in 1913, is carried on through some forty local organizations located in most of the large cities where there are any considerable number of Negroes. Its main object is to seek to improve the relations between the race and better the living conditions in the cities. Through its industrial department, it is striving with some degree of success to remove the color line from industry. The organization through its many branches has done effective work in relieving the strain of the situation in those communities receiving a large influx of colored migrants from the South during the past few years. It is considered by competent authorities to wield the most sustained and practical influence on the race question, because of its technical and scientific methods of arriving at the facts and making the necessary deductions.
The Urban League affords a practical means of ameliorating the ills that affect the race in the cities.
In discussing the question Are College Men Educated? the Story of those sagely agreed that the best man can be said of them is they "have been given a good start." It continued.
Many of them seem to imitate themselves fitted for position at the top. Many are more concerned with the amount of salary to be earned immediately than with seeking the position offering the largest chance for advancement
This is equally true of a large number of young men in our mines who have just graduated, seem obsessed with the false that they are thoroughly required for the largest things, and have immediately the largest are They have completed a course inlege, but they are far from being educated. They have a good start and should not worry about the big jobs held by comparatively untrained men. These men have gone the bottom; they have been in the school of experience have earned what they get
The college graduates must learn the tools that their education given them, before they can cope with the men who have had the best experience
The Birmingham Reporter used the charge of Judge of the Circuit Court of Bloxford as this fine specimen of men and manhood unilluminated by secret justice. It said
Here is a judge who said the law knows no distinction between men. The law does not know the color of a man's skin, but projects a alike, whether it be king or prasar.

First Emmanuel Church
At the 11 o'clock services Sunday, Pastor Holden preached from the "The Kingdom of God" St. Matthew 6, first part of the 10th verse. Theme "The Kingdom of God the true government."
Pastor Bolden said: "That the theory of our democratic government is one thing but the realization and practical application of the theory to the individual, group, race, class and sex citizen; is another thing. The interpretation of our theory of democratic government in co-sovereign when applied to the National control of Common interest, rights and privileges states over half a century ago, divided this nation. The Southern States rebelled and set up a rebell government with Jeff Davis as its President and General, Robert E. Lee as the head of their Confederate Army, and withdrew from the Union. The Union forces, under the Presidency of Abraham Lincoln and General Ulysses S. Grant, head of the Union Army, accepted the challenge of the Southern rebellious leaders and sought to compromise and suppress the uprising, but they succeeded only after the nation had been plunged for about four years into a great Civil War. The loss of life, the burden of war debts, the ill-will and animosity was well as the destruction and disease. I doubt whether we have fully recovered from yet, before this rebellion was put down.
Since this rebellion was over the economic question of extending slavery in other states, and the legal and moral right to own and traffic in African slavery, the rebellion was put down in the slave states; the friends of freedom and a more righteous conscience group of economic leaders had written in the Federal constitution the 14th and 15th Amendments. While the intent and full measure of these war amendments to our Constitution have not been carried out to the letter by the curtalled the privileges that these two party governments in our nation and while the Southern States have amendments intended to give to the ex-slave and his postity by denying them the right to vote and the fullest enjoyment to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and while that section of our country in which many of the ancestors of the dominant race group and the rulers fought and died that the peoples of African descent might exercise the full rights of American citizenship without regard to race, creed or color, for our ancestors best known to them are these sections, once the house of friends, is manifesting enmity against this people and is showing sympathy by either directly or through indifference in sharing the attitude of the mind and spirit of the southern section of our country.
The last and strongest evidence of this is seen in the act of President Calvin Coolidge, in signing a race segregation bill for those who desire to bathe in the cat-fish, eel, frog, snake and turtle waters that flow in the Potomac that is a part of our District of Columbia, by this act ratifying the view of enemies of human rights and justice to these people and also strengthening the general opinion of inferiority and contamination by contact. Being regarded as social outcasts, political painter, industrial and economic activist, may cause the deaths and vain glorious leaders of our nation to introduce referrals in the various statutes in the Congress, which this President or some other President would be glad to sign, remounting the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution.
The Eves and Adams, as well as the Easus, that are hungry for liquor should give much thought concerning the difference between their rights as to what they shall eat or drink filling their hungry stomach, and the principles involved. We who believe in our Lord Jesus Christ the Emmanuel are commissioned to pray for the Kingdom of God to come upon the earth. Not a theocratic democratic or socialistic government. The Kingdom of God interprets itself from the basis of love, the governments of men from the basis of selfishness. Therefore do not respecie at what appears to be the coming back of liquor. At 2 p.m., the Sunday school convened. At 8 p.m., the Rev. Cineo preached to the many assembled. His text was from Jesus 0.21. The dinner was served during the day by the members of the Missionary Society.
Grace Congregational Church
Rev A C Garner returned from the Congregational State Conference at Walton, N. Y., in time to assume his Sunday duties with his church and the National Guard, in the morning and afternoon respectively.
Rev Mr Garner spoke from Gailations 6 12. "Bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." His treatment of the text was natural and interesting. The treatment was pleasingly human. Rev Garner preaches to the Lions. At the altar of the seminary he invited anyone to decide for Christ, in the church who felt the urge of the Spirit—His invitation was rewarded by the presence of the following at the altar, Mahmoud Manzoor of 108 West 141st street, Adelaide, P DeFrantz, 299 West 190th street who came to Christ through the Sunday School and who was baptised, and Mrs Esterli Gailard of 210 West 146th Street

He stressed the thought that real liberty or freedom in the worldly sense is a fiction, for it is surround-able with prohibitions, and we only get freedom when we conform to law. While liberty and freedom is the yearning of every soul, the question

auxils, what is real freedom, where does it commence, and where does it end? In St. Paul's letter to the Galatians, we see the soundness of his religion, his philosophy and common sense, when he urges them to "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us, free and not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. "When we become converted to the principles of Christianity, we get a new understanding of liberty, which is not a legal understanding but the law of Christ. The following joined our church: Rose L. Gillard of 129 Johnson street, and F. G. Hall, of 448 Halsey street. At vesper service the Allen League met the president O. S. Bascombe presided. The tonic "Chiang Chang Ching China" was interestingly disguised by Miss Blanche Williams. Several others also took part in the discussion.
The Rev W. J. Conquest, formerly of the A. M. E Church at Helena Ark, but now transferred to the New England Conference, was the speaker at the evening services. He spoke on "Gods People Dressing Up for Glory," The text was Revelations 7:13-14. He emphasized the view that just as we on earth endeavor to put on our best when we meet with Christians do, for we are traveling to the great beyond and should put on our best spiritual dress, and that garment is the garment of righteousness. This may entail trials and tribulations, but in the final day we will reap our reward The "new pastor," Dr Tyler then spoke a few words. He took occasion to thank the Rev Walter J. Thompson, local deacon of the church for taking charge of the services during the day. Next Sunday the pastor will speak at events in order to lav emphasis on the junior church, that body will take part in one of the services
The funeral of Mrs Annabelle Frazer, whose mother, Mrs. E Ferguson, is a member of the church, was held on Tuesday night, May 25. The Dolly Varden Press Context and Flower Carnival was opened on May 26. It will end May 28.

SUNDAY MAY 16
The following persons joined the Church Mrs Isadora Curry, of 268 St. James Place, and Miss Sallie Davis, of 142 Jefferson Avenue. This was followed by the installation of the Junior Church. A large number of children whose ages range from 6 to 18 years were in this group. Reports on the dollar money indicate that the church under the leadership of Dr Tyler, has raised a greater sum than ever in its history, and direct from the members and friends and no supplementary money received or steward Dr Tyler has done a thing prior to the class-leaders who raised this money, but led the way himself, not say, "I am to follow me."
The A U' Knights and Daughters of Africa, were the guests of the church. The occasion being the sixth annual thanksgiving service of the New York district Dr D M Baxter, general manager of the A M. E. Church's book concern, who is regarded as one of the outstanding pastor's and pulpit orators of his denomination delivered a soil-stirring sermon to the vast throng that was present The text was Psalms, 68, 3. "Princes shall come out of Egypt. Euthiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God."
Siloam Presbyterian Church
In his discourse at the morning hour of worship at Siloam Rev George Shippen Stark pastor, took his text from John 21:15. 'Lovest thou me. He considered his subject from three points, the triple question the triple answer and the triple commission. It was brought out that Christ comes to everyone alone and in the quiet of his heart. In the triple question is found the conclusion of the heart search, that at sometime we should remember the past what we were before we came christians what we were before Christ came into our hearts. The call to a memory of the heart brings us back to a confession of when we admit an up to now but wuqn jay answer to a question that often times in spite of the top the heart is good. Chest locketh on the heart, knowwell all we are be to go and do things. By doing we show our love for Christ, that we worship God through losing and be

The Rev. Dr Henry Hugh Proctor spoke Sunday morning on the topie, "Shall We Scrap the Ten Commandments?" In rebuttal to this question he held that these ten laws covering the relationship of one to God and man were of priceless value. Enshrined in the heart of these was the priceless jewel of love.
At the evening hour there was a Congregational rally at which reports of recent Congregational gatherings were made by Mrs. Andrew Balfour, Mrs. Matchie Marshall and Mrs. H. Proctor, a Carer of Mrs. Proctor on the historic attitude of Congregationalism toward the Negro.

Floet St. Memorial
A. M. E. Zion Church
Following the revival campaign when, just as the guiding hand of the Universe rolled the dark clouds away on Sunday morning and gave to us the glorious sunlight, spiritual birth was given to many souls, and knowing that the young cannot thrive successfully other than on wholesome food, the young converts were special guests at the morning service, as well as the most efficient pastor, Rev W C Bradley, who formed his theme, "The Riches and Power of Jesus." The invitation as recorded in the 25th chapter of St Matthew, "Come ye blessed of my father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world," seemed to be the guiding though throughout the sermon. All who were attentive were strengthened both spiritually and intellectually, and left having a better knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
At the Sunday school hour the sesquicentennial attended, both by young and older participants to learn more about Jesus. The anniversary rally will be held on Sunday, May 30.
The usual enthusiasm attended the Christian Endeavor society at the regular hour. At 8 o'clock, p.m., the Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter of the A M F Church, a friend to fallen humanity

He was a man of great intellect, a man of great energy and encouraging as this is, it is but an imperfect measure of Dr. Washington's work and achievement.

He had never seen the people to whom he wrote the most far-reaching of his letters, but he appreciated their hardships and felt a closeness to them in their struggles through Christ.

Records Fall As Hampton Wins Fifth Intercollegiate Track and Field Meet
Nine Marks Shattered In Sensational Meet; Manassas Captures Scholastic Point Trophy; Hampton Wins Second Hubbard In "Hundred" and Broad Jump Events
HAMPTON, V.A.-Hampton Institute's track squad won the fifth intercollegiate track and field meet on Armstrong Field last Saturday, piling up 87 points against 25 for her nearest rival, Union University, in a remarkable event where nine records were broken. Manassas Institute totaled 25 points to win the scholastic point trophy ahead of Union Street High School with 16
The thermometer registered ideal rack weather but before the meet was over rat interrupted its program. John Carrol, reputable Baltimore distance runner was leading the field in a special scholastic 2-mile run and DeHart Hubbard holder of the World's broad jump record and several other titles, had just completed his first sensational jump when everybody was driven to shelter. The meet was shortly resumed, however and Hubbard leaped from the board three times more, each time thrilling the large number of spectators. His best jump made against a brisk wind was 24 ft, 103 inches. Hubbard also proved his ability as a sprinter in the 100-yard dash when he led in a fast field in 9.9 second. He finished second to William King of Hampton in the 220-yard low hurdles. In this race King chipped over a second from his 1923 time completing it in 25.6 seconds.
Nine record breaking events followed
each other in rapid succession. Pierce
of St Paul began the crusade by beating
his own last year's shotput record
with a heave of 38 feet, 9½ inches.
Wm D Williams of Hampton knocked
off a tenth of a second from his 1924
time by making the 120-yard high hurdles
in 167 seconds. Edward Taylor

Cook of Union, each shattered two records. Coles began his race with the determination to break a record and, after leading practically the entire distance and almost lapping the trailer, he broke the tape in 4 minutes 39.7 seconds. Nichols of Howard had the best time held since 1923 until Saturday. Not satisfied, Coles began the 2-mile run with the same record-smashing air, and after leading the entire route he crossed the line. 10 minutes, 26.4 seconds, lowering his own time of 1924 by ten seconds. In both of these races George Merritt f Hampton roused a cheer from the stands by forging ahead from the rear and sprouting past his competitors on the home stretch to finish second to his victorious team mate
Cook, Union's flash for five years, in company with De Hart Hutbard, pulled down by two tenth second the record he established in 1922, the same being equaled by Byrd, of Lincoln in 1923 and accomplished the century in 10 seconds flat. Cook also added to his laurels in the 440-yard dash by chipping from Langston's record made in 1924-51.4 seconds and won the Chicago Defender trophy in 50.4 second. Joseph Baldwin of Hampton at getting off on a bad start pulled ahead of, Banks of St. Paul, and made a daring, though unsuccessful, attempt to overtake Cook's big lead
Hampton Again Takes Relay
With one leg on the Madame Walker trophy which goes to the school winning it three times, Hampton's intre lley team paced away from all competitors for a second share on the beatful cup. Union was given the advantage in the first lap. Union the master of the quarter bested George Gray, Hampton's lead-off man by a few yards, but long changed Gray's second into a long lead for first place in the next lap. Hampton's third runner, Clarke maintained this lead and added a few yards to it so when Joseph Baldwin final runner for the Blue and White, began his quarter, he only had to protect his lead. This he did ad-murably against the dangerous threats of several other survivors who also sought a 'claim to the coveted trophy'. Hampton's time was 11 minutes 31 seconds.
Hampton once called the meet success of its meet last year in 1922. Nearly 200 athletes representing 20 institutions competed for the cups and medals, which represent the highest achievement in organized athletics. Negra athletics. While no entries were received for the new events produced in the meet this year the medals and 2 mile race were issued and believed that interest in these contest will grow to the extent that it were initiated Saturday with intramural competition. Despite Hampton's apparent monopoly on places—first 11 seconds and 4 thirds out of 14 events—the meet was no walk away for the home lads. They were pushed to the limit of their well earned and totally deserved places in every event. Not the device of invading competition to the advantage of Hampton's process made matters through constant and earnest training accounted for the uneasied war.

Decoration Day Program To Eclipse All Past Performance At Savoy
Nothing will be left undone in the way of surprising features to insure patrons of the beautiful Savoy ballroom the time of their lives on Decoration Day, Monday, May 31st, during the special holiday matinee and in the evening. The management has gone to tremendous expense to decorate The Savoy with appropriate garmishments to vividly portray this glorious holiday.
An overwhelming list of special features has been prepared not the least of which is the addition of Kenneth Roanes Musical Spades a sensational orchestra direct from New Orleans, especially for the occasion. This makes three orchestra which will provide three distinctly different, yet delightful styles of syncopation for all lovers of good dance music.
The boast of the Savoy Ballroom malaghemit now is "that their two regular orchestra, "The Charleston Bearcats" and Fess Williams and his Royal Flush Orchestra, are beyond doubt the absolute king of synconation in this country. This has been attested by the tremendous popularity they now enjoy in this community having played to more than one hundred thousand people during their short regime at The Savoy. On Deployment Day the Savoy will open its new wardrobe room which now occupies at entire floor by itself so that the a comodation of patrons will be as convenient and spacious as it is possible to be thus providing ample room for the hundreds of its followers who have been unable many times to enter owing to the inability of the Savoy to cope with the crowd.
There will be an advance in prices for Decoration Day as a matter of fact the policy of this institution has been always to give you the most interesting of entertainment the most interesting music the clearest features at a price that is exceedingly reasonable so reasonable that folks wonder sometimes how they do it. The same principle that has made Wood which stores the success that they are deplete the rest that the cost of living has advanced 500 per cent in the last decade as applied. The Saxon the management has proved on closely that it must essay to charge a chorbita price in order to provide the high quality entertainment that has been the rule here. That why the nationally sanctioned balloon has counted among the true people who have one to try.

IN THE REALM OF MUSIC

COLERIDGE-TAYLOR NOVELTY PRESENTED INTERESTINGLY BY ST. MARK'S CHOIR IN ANNUAL RECITAL AT CARNEGIE HALL
The usual large audience assembled at Carnegie Hall on Monday night, May 24 for the annual St. Mark's M. E. Church Choir Musicale, under direction of E. Aldama Jackson, A. A. G. O., the church organist and choirmaster.
For this occasion, the choir, denominated on the program as "America's Premiere Negro Choir" (bringing to my mind a query as to how many foremost choirs there may be), was supported by two pianos and the great pipe organ Lydia Mason was at one piano, Sonoma Talley at the choir and Dr. Melville Charlton (also an A. A. G. O., but he modestly re-uses the initials), at the organ.
Mr. Jackson makes it a point, usually, to present some musical novelties this annual recital, and on this occasion he gave two of special interest a third, programmed in advance under the group head, "Individual Numbers, proved to be even more enjoyable than at least one of the special features. This was the singing by the women' group of the Spoken Thru' from Wagner's "Flying Dutchman," with Vera Lyons And their work surpassed that of the men singers who are featured numbers.
Facing a humidity in attack and a slowness in gathering force and vol-
tage the women sang very effectively. The choice of a soloist was un-
fortunate there must have been a number of women in the group who
are capable than Miss Lyons proved to be. Mr. Jackson usually ex-
pected judgment in selecting his solo voices, but this young lady
measure up. It may have been stage fright it is true, but
gave no indication of vocal power or strength, for she just
was not heard.
The required numbers were Converse's "Serenade", for soprano and
and male chorus, and Coleridge-Taylor's "Bon-Bon Suite" for
and full chorus.
The converse number opened the program, with the solos taken by
Mr. White Brown and Morris Caver. The chorus as a whole sang with
no quality, but there was a weakness in the tenor volume that
caused it to be lost in the sound waves coming from the pianos and organ.
Mr. Caver's ability is so well established that perhaps it is only necessary
that the sang with her accustomed grace and artistry. Mr. Caver,
hardly both the reviewer for the first time, displayed a voice of pleasing
tone and range, with only a fair degree of cultivation. Much more
needed. He sang with intelligence and understanding, but there
was a tendency to falsetto tone when essaying into the uppermost notes of the register.
The "Bon-Bon Suite", heard for the first time, so far as the available
records show proved to be a most felicitous composition. It is in six
pictures, but is not of the proportions of "A Tale of Old Japan," the
Coleridge Taylor work sung by the choir last year, nor yet of the Anglo-
African musician's setting of the Indian legend, "Hiawatha". Written for a
bal with the full chorus supporting, the "Bon-Bon Suite" is tuneful, inter-
rinsic and of the usual Coleridge-Taylor excellence in musical structure.
The soloist, G. Willard McLean, was given ample opportunity to discover the resources of his vocal accomplishments. He succeeded pass well his technical development proving more nearly equal to the strenuous task than did his oral strength. Starting bravely, with and power the singer tired before the end and the final movement was ineffective because of the soloist's weakness. Prior to this number, McLean had sung acceptably Hall Johnson's "Hold on," and Burleigh's "Wear on there, two Spirituals.
In the Wagner number, the singing of the female section in movements of the suite, proved to be the most effective feature.
In the mountain, soprano, and Sophie F. Davis, contralto, sang "Oh, were Maying," by Nevins, and gave pleasure with the rendition especially displayed promise.
In theance of Miss Ruby Green, solo contralto of the choir signal for an ovation from the audience. She sang two body knows the trouble I see" as arranged by I. Rosamond laid His Head in the window" by Hall Johnson. The stones of this young girl's voice showed developed strength there is a certain lack of color that may come later. Mr. sang "Jordan River flowing on", arranged by G. Grittent-Burleigh's "I stood on the Ribber of Jordan.
In theown, soprano soloist, sang an arrangement by Hall up in Heaven," and Lawrence Brown's "Joshua fit de so effectively did this young woman sing these splendid had to repeat the last Spiritual. The audience gave her on her first appearance, and the enthusiasm was on that brought her to the front of the stage.
arrangements given on the program from the pen of Hall young musician in the most favorable light His McLean, and "Way up in Heaven" as rendered unusually interesting. There was a bit too much striving for effect, in the piano setting to the green, "Jesus laid His Head on the window."
Impamists was of the highest order, even though no opportunity for previous rehearsals. In factearing seemed to be in evidence throughout the as the ensemble work was concerned.
Organ, Miss Mason and Miss Talley at the pianos, did excellence of their work, to hold up the singing body ensemble weaknesses.
Mists were recipients of gorgeous and numerous clusters of the two pianos had all the appearance of a luxurious family seeming with the choicest floral products.

not been discouraged by barren returns, nor intimidated by apparently insuperable obstacles.
In the recital Friday night Mr. Eckles gave evidence of the value of applied effort to the study of singing. His voice has certain attractive natural qualities, and these advantages have been added to by the acquirement of technic and singing understanding. Not to be called a "great" voice, yet the singer's facility of dictation, ease of utterance and intelligent phrasing shows marked improvement.
Mrs. Eckles, with a voice of sweetness and colorful quality, does not seem to have improved to the same degree as her consort. Her articulation is faulty and only now and then was it possible to distinguish what she was saying. But to the majority of those who heard her Friday night this handkerchief was atoned for by the singer's personality and pleasing vocal utterance.
From an artistic point of view, Mr. Eckles' best offering was the aria, "Onaway, awake, Beloved!" from Coloridge-Taylor's "Hiawatha," but this was somewhat spoiled by the inefficient manner in which the accompaniment was played by Lorenzo F. Dyer. In this connection, it might not be out of place to suggest that a more restrained and subdued manner and bearing while serving as a Town Hall accompanist would probably add to the pleasure of the audience. Attention was considerably distracted by the strenuosity and vigor of Mr. Dyer's mannerisms at the piano.
Other offerings to win favor were a group of Spirituals sung as solos by Mrs. Eckles, and another group rendered as duets by both singers. As a solo, Mrs. Eckles had to repeat the last Spiritual of her group, Lawrence Brown's arrangement of "Every time I feel the Spirit," and the final number of the group of duets, "Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel," as arranged by Rosamond Johnson, was also repeated.
Mrs. Eckles' other numbers were "With verdure clad" from Haydn's "Creation," Prelude from Cycle of Life, and "Down in the forest," both by Ronald; and "Un bel di vedremo" from "Mme. Butterfly" by Puccini. Mr. Eckles gang the recitative, Thy rebuke hath broken my heart," and aria, "Behold and seel" from Handels "Messiah" "Cazo mio ben" by Giordani; "Celeste, Aida" from Verdi's "Aida"; and sang with his wife the tomb scene from the samo opera, "La fatal pletra" and "O terra addio."
Mrs. Eckles also sang "It's me" and "My way's cloudy," arranged by Rosamond Johnson, and Mr. Eckles gave "Go down, Moses' and "I stood on de ribber of Jordan," arrangements by Burleigh; "I know the Lord's laid His Hands on me" by Lawrence Brown, and "Jericho" by Johnson.

At the funeral services, held at the Immamuel Baptist Church, hundreds of people from all walks of life came to pay their last respects to him. Many who could not get into the church crowded the sidewalks. His body lay in shade at his home, where throngs of sorrowing people viewed his remains. The numerous floral tributes received showed the high esteem in which he was held. The Medical Association adopted resolutions, which were sent to his bereaved wife, stating that in the passing of Dr. Porter the association had suffered a sever loss, and will be forever deprived of his valuable and helpful service.

Dr. Isaac Napoleon Porter, one of New Haven's most prominent physicians, died here recently. For 35 years this very successful and distinguished physician practiced here. He had a very large clientele, and numbered among his patients many from the white race.
Dr. Porter's unlifelong, unselfish devotion to his patients endured them to him. When called upon to serve, Dr. Porter was ready to give to his patients that skilled and efficient service cheerfully and gladly. He entered wholeheartedly into his medical profession, there never being a time when he neglected his duties.

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES
that the new Railroad Labor Bill has passed the Senate, and with minor changes to be made in its context before it will become medium for the adjustment of disputes between railroad employees, it might not be too impertinently pertinent to inquire Negro leaders, especially those who are so interested in the wel-li-man porters a few months ago, if they are as concerned with provisions as they were with whether or not these particular workers became unlonized? If they are, here is something worth their attention.
It is announcel, provides for a Board of Mediation of five appointed by the President, by and with the advice and con- senate, none of whom shall be in the employment of or pecun- wise interested in any organization of employees or workers. Negro population of this country is estimated to be about persons. Of this number it can conservatively be stated that are employed in some capacity or another by the railroads. Of the five members who are to be appointed to this board why should not one of them be a Negro?
A Republican President, and, it is supposed, a Republican there to prevent our Negro leaders from making an effort member of our race placed on that board?
A million Negro workers and voters deserve some recognition in affairs of this country, (even if we may not aspire with success to bodies of the government) for our loyalty to the Republican
bodies of the government) for our loyalty to the Republican loyalty, which at the present time seems not to be worth to us, will not be recognized or appreciated by the admin-power then what in the world is the advantage in continuing the party?
of course, to put a Negro on this board would be met with friction, both from within and without the party. Even our and unselfish(?) friends, the Brotherhoods and the Unions, thumbs down if such a thing were tried. But as nothing beats a failure, the effort is worth essaying.
Find Negroes who have enough political influence and get a roll of sponsors will be about as difficult a matter as it will member of the race confirmed to the position after he is named. It appears that our leaders are master-minds and indoors when it comes to giving advice to those of the race whom reason to believe are their intellectual inferiors. But when it is publishing things that will benefit these people, they seem to a peculiar type of political and racial inertia. Not all of them, but enough to create this impression among the rank and file.
Leaders ought to get busy. One million Negro railroad undoubtedly welcome their efforts to get a member of the new Board, even though these efforts should meet with a good opportunity for those leaders who are interested invement to unionize Pullman porters to prove the sincerity

a sunny and pleasure-loving disposition, the average colored girl would just as soon commit suicide (and they seldom, very seldom, do that,) as she would to secrete herself in some out of the way place from her family and friends. Then, too, it is not so easy for the girl of color to hide herself; that is, not in this part of the country anyway. If she attempted to hide away in a Negro community, some one in that community would spot her. And, unless she were one of those than pass girls, her presence in a white neighborhood would be readily noted.
Serena being of a type that would easily attract observation in a neighborhood in which she was a stranger, it does not seem possible that she can be alive and hide herself so completely unless she is being kept hidden by some powerful restraint or influence.

Albany, N.Y. may be one of the best places on this earth in the opinion of some people but to Porter John W. Witherspoon it is in collagealism a "pain," it is a sort of Nemesis to Witherspoon. Whenever he meets misfortune or a regrettable experience it is always at Albany. Several weeks ago, in attempting to carry an invalid passenger from the stateroom of his car to the platform at Albany Witherspoon who is a powerful man underestimated the weight of the passenger with the result that he injured his back and has been an invalid himself for the past few weeks.
