The buildings are completed by Grover one hundred and fifty houses, with wired bushroom parquet floors, open fireplace, hot and cold water, gas and detention, and a firproof garage to each house.

The development of Spain, Ridge Pass, in the Paterno-Moyola Building Corporation or colored home owners has been brought to an abrupt stop by the return of financiers who bought properties on the property, the relocation being abolished on the first that development was for colored people. Morales, original promoter of the proposition, has given three and a half years to the proposition, which time practically all of the homes in the selected client of property owners were completed, two of which were occupied by their owners. The original working capital of $175,000 has surpassed by an additional $50,000 to a total of $225,000, all of which has been put into the development.

Mr Sadler reported that the property had been sold to a New York colored man whose name he declined to juvenile. He wrote that the new newspaper portrays, "that he knew pro-thing of the action started by the objectors and that so far as he knew Speer would consummate the sale.

Tortured Two Children
The unheard of tortures that the children suffered were brought out by quizzing two of the home's inmates, Lillian and William Costley, age 15 and 17, respectively. They said that *Abbey Yamey* used to put a dog collar around the neck of the children, who were then in the hospital. There were five holes in the floor in which were screwed five iron rings. Ropes were attached to the rings from the dog collars, the feet and hands fastened in such a way that the children could not move. Then the beating took place. The whip was made of *thekory* and in some instances *three leather straps* were used. The children and that hand were then attached from their backs and the flesh form to ribbons. Then they were told to go out and wash their bloody backs. Some of the children whipped were only five and six years old. Another disclosure was that the children who were inmates of the home were not orphans but had parents who were ardent followers of the cult. One of the prerequisites of the cult of the that parents over the curse on the childs Robinson who in turn sent them to the home. The parents were then obliged to do their daily work and turn over all their earnings to the cult.

New Rochelle, Y--The most turbulent public hearing by an official board in recent moo was conducted by the Board of Health Monday evening, June 28, when proponents and opponents of the John R. Hegeman house for girls presented their case to a group of citizens which packed the City Hall.
The Hegeman Home was recently purchased on Wynn avenue for colored girls between the ages of 12 and 16 who needed social adjustment. It was to take the place of the Sojourner Truth House, formerly operated in Harlem.
The property was purchased last year by the Board of Managers of the Katy Ferguson House for $24,000. The purchase was made possible through the friendship of Mrs. Helye Fiske, wife of the president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. Her husband was executor of the will of the late John R. Hegeman. And Mrs. Fiske induced her husband to set aside a part of the funds, which Mr. Hegeman had willing to charity, for a home for colored girls.
No Objection At First.
No objections were made at the time the property was purchased, but after improvements amounting to $4,500 had almost been completed and the Board was making plans to open the home, sudden opposition arose among the property owners in the vicinity. The Board of Health set Monday evening for a hearing of those opposed to the location of the Home in New Rochelle. Most of the members of the Board of Managers for the Home were on hand to present their organization and individuals appeared in opposition. The crowd which filled the gallery for the matters seemed all proposed to the project and was far from this time that the board had arrived. Dr. Katherine B. Davis, head of the joint boards of the Katy, Ferguson and Hegemont Homes, was the first speaker. She is a practical sociologist, and was formerly, head of the State Reformatory and is a member of the New York City Department of Corrections. Dr. Davis stated at the outset that a seriosis misunderstanding had arisen as to the nature of the Home. She said the Hegemont Home was for women, some with children, some with parents, who needed social adjustment. These girls would be taught domestic arts and ethics and would be placed with private families after remaining for periods varying from a couple of weeks to several months.
Argued For The Home.
other members of the board who spoke were Mrs. Williard Parker, head of The Big Sister Movement; Fred R. Moore, editor of The New York Age; K. J. Kone, executive secretary of the National Urban League. Dr Hastings Hart of the Russell Sage Foundation and Mr. Sibly, attorney for the Home. Mr Sibly said he had conferred with the head of the Department of buildings and with the secretary of theoming Commission before the purchase was made. There was no objection to the location of the Home at that time, he said.
Dr C P McClendon of 10 Winthrop avenue, and Charles A Isabell, a real estate broker, also spoke in favor of the Home being located in New Rochelle Dr McClendon said he knew of the movement and its sponsors and believed it behooved New Rochelle acknowled its responsibility toward important gifts and that he did not believe him would be a nuisance to but a blessing to many.
The Home was branded as a correctional institution by several of the opposition Mr. Seddiman, representing the League of Neighborhood Associations denied that racial prejudice entered into the opposition Mrs. J Br Bodde, wife of the pastor of Blessed Baptist Church was one of the colored people who opposed the project
Objected To Home
Mrs. Boulder voiced her gratitude to the white organizers for their help in the fight against the Home Site said that at first it appeared the colored people would have to make the fight alone but the presence of so many white people was ample proof of the non-existence of a local color-line. A number of other individuals and representatives spoke the burden of the argument that the time was a direction institution and would be tolerated to deteriorate property in the neighborhood. They also contended it was violating the Zoning ordinance to be permitted in this neighborhood. After a two-hour argument, the meeting adjourned and the Commissioner promised to render a decision on Wednesday. In view of the opposition, the Board members feel the Home will be located elsewhere if they can recover the money already invested. In addition to those who spoke the members of the Board who went to New Rochelle for the hearing were Mrs. Charles W. Filmore Wade, Mrs. Charles W. Filmore Wilfa Rochon and Mrs. Estel Caution, Mr. James H. Hubert, Gilbert Moore and Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Doxley also made the trip.
Daily developments indicate the alarming extent to which the people are becoming addicted to the indiscriminately alluring gambling game "numbers." Not only has it brought want and distress to many homes in Harlem, but in one case, at least, it authoritatively declared, it has led to death by suicide.
It is currently reported that the suicide who cut his throat in a Seventh avenue barber shop, as told in The Age of June 26, did so in a fit of mental aberration due to his having played $1.50 on a number which came out, but on which the banker reneged payment. Failure to get the $900 to which the play entiled him is said to have so exasperated the man as to bring him to the suicidal state. And still the craze is spreading.
Storekeepers are Busy
As told last week, many stores, grocers, butchers and others, are adding approcably to income by permitting, "numbers" operators to make the stores headquarriers for taking of plays. It is told on Lenox avenue that a grocer near the corner of 137 street was on the verge of bankruptcy when he took advantage of an opportunity to handle "numbers". Now he is one of the most prosperous business men on the avenue—but not from selling groceries.
A member of The Age staff had occasion to go into a hardware store on Lenox avenue between 138th and 139th street, to buy a lock. When he walked up to the counter however she hardware clerk immediately handed him a pad, with sheets somewhat similar to a cheek book. Not understanding at first, the newspaper man looked at the book in doubt, wondering just what was wanted of him.
"All right," said the store man, "make it out."
"Make out what?" asked The Age man.
"Why, don't you play the 'numbers?' queried the hardware seller, and when answered in the negative, the clerk blurted out, "Oh, you won't be in the swim unless you get in the game."
"Cigars and Hot Dogs"
A hot dog stand at 529 and a cigar store at 533 Llenx avenue, according to well verified information are thronged every morning by a motley crowd of men women and children, all eagerly seeking opportunity to put in a slip bearing from one to a half dozen or more groups of figures, putting up at the same time such sums as they are, betting on the day's play. And there are more children in these groups than one would imagine unless in position to see them. School Children of tender age, on their way to school stop in and put their pemmes with avid eagles the lustful glare of a gambling fever beginning to bury them in their eyes. That name of these children have surreptitiously taken money from mother's pocket book makes no matter to the money lusting storekeeper who is an active agent for the "numbers" banker, and in some instances, even, is the banker himself.
Luring The Children
Another outcome of the game is that in some instances stores are opened solely for the purpose of handling the "numbers" game. There are in various guises, some being ostentate cigar stores where the would be cigar purchaser who does not have a number, or a store owner, if appalled. That the women and children may have freedom of entrance without arousing curiosity, lunch

stands, cellcateshins and toy shops are used.
This recalls the fact that one of the notorious of the Seventh avenue hooch joints, the one operated at 2298 in the new building at corner of 133 streets has a window display of school buildings that are built to attract the eye and possible patronage of the unwary and unsuspecting school children who pass the place daily.
And the hooch sellers are as active as the "numbers" men; in fact, in many cases the two are operated conjointly. Speakieses of all types are being placed almost daily, a stroll up Seventh avenue revealing some half dozen places including 2760, 2505 and 2540. Another, open joint is at 2218, corner of 131st street, probably by the same bootleggers as were formerly at 2204, now vacant.
Out Of "Numbers" Game
In last week's issue, reference was made to "numbers" operations in the stand at northwest corner of 153th streets and Lenox avenue, first operated as a news and bootbuck stand by George Carr, who latter discontinued that business to operate a taxi cab, leasing, the stand to Levy, who used it as a "numbers" headquarters. The statement made was based on the fact that an Age representative, in passing the stand during the week prior to publication of the article, saw a player writing out a "numbers" ship while a man sai waiting to take it.
Since the article appeared, Mrs. Lous O. Williams, whose husband is a cork in the City Hall postoffice station, called at the Age office and stated that Mr. Williams is now interested in the stand with Mr. Carr and that the two men are conducting a legitimate business, operating the bootblock stand and selling newspapers. Mrs. Williams asserts that Lever is interested in the stand with the stand and that under no conditions will "numbers" playing be permitted. The Age is glad to publish this statement in the interests of Mrs. Williams who is personally on duty at the newstand every afternoon and evening, she informs us.
In the meantime, Levy, Jewish bootleger and "numbers" banker, has his ostensible headquarters at 114 West 135th street, but he spends most of his time standing at the corner of the noon hour, that most of the actual taking of "numbers" slips is done in a hallway connected with the restaurant located in the Bank Building.
New York City policemen may be handicapped somewhat so far as handling the prohibition law violators is concerned, as they are not now permitted to secure personal evidence of liquor selling. But they have no such barrier insofar as handling the "numbers" gambling operators. The operations of this crowd are so open and blatant that even the uniformed men would have no difficulty in getting all the evidence needed
This brings the question, "Why dont the policemen act?"

Colored Man Steward For 20 Years On 20th Century Limited Diner
Few people knew that one of the most efficient and well-like stewards employed on the Hudson River Day Line of steamers plying between New York and Albany was a colored man, Wilford W. Macon, until his death on June 19 gave publicity to that fact. Fewer still, perhaps, are aware of the fact that for some twenty year, another colored man, John Jones, of New York, has been employed as steward on a dining car attached to the Twentjeth Century flier, the New York Central's de luxe excess fare train running between New York and Chicago. Mr Jones diner is used on this train between New York and Albany, and under his supervision it has the distinction of affording the best service to passengers of any diner used by the company.
Mr Jones for a number of years, was in charge of a special car on the run to Saratoga, which car was operated only during the vacation season. The record of efficiency made by him on this run was so high that it attracted the attention of the high school for president the road. Mr Jones was in a blue funk fainting that for some reason he was to be disciplined.
Given Regular Diner
He was questioned as to the special car to Saratoga, and he was told that since he had proven so capable in its operation he would be placed in charge of a dining car on a regular run. And for twenty years Mr Jones has had charge of the serving of the select and particular class of patrons who ride on the Grand Central's Twentieth Century Limited, over the stretch of road from New York to Albany and back again. And he is now, it is said, the only Negro employed regularly as a steward by either road or steamship line, headed by Mr Macon, whose route, coincidentally, was between New York and Albany, but on water instead of land. There have been other stewards, it is learned, but they are either dead or retired. The first of all it is said, was James Butler, Mr Macon being the next. Then came Ash and Lewis and John Holden, all of whom are dead, except possibly Mr Holden, who it is reported, is living in Philadelphia
Negro Making Progress In Labor Opportunities
According to an announcement made by the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League, T Arnold Hill, director, the two sections of the country showing the most satisfactory conditions in industry for Negroes are widely separated from whites in the district and the city of Milwaukee, Wis. The New York district, which in includes parts of Jersey City, where prospects are unusually bright, has witnessed the importation of colored workers from the South for railroads and industrial plants. Wholesale transplantations usually reveal weaknesses in the jobs offered. While the rule has followed in this case, the overseas have been entirely unsatisfactory. Wage workers have been fifty cents per hour, with seven-
In Milwaukee two plants are looking for molders and chippers. Conditions there are good in all lines and the colored worker is getting a good opportunity. Both Milwaukee and New York have done something for school boys, who have found work harder to obtain than usual on account of the failure of the Pullman company to offer them work as porters. In New York the Motion Picture Operators Union has finally admitted colored operators to membership. As a consequence, the pay of some of them has doubled. In Milwaukee electric operators have entered a steel plant for the first time. In mining sections of Kentucky, in foundries in small cities of Ohio, and in parts of Michigan, gains are reitered, while Fort Wayne, Indiana sustained the loss of one hundred men in the Pennsylvania Railroad Shops.

NATIONAL BAPTISTS END SIX-DAY SESSION OF SUNDAY SCHOOL AND B. Y P. U. CONGRESS
The National B. Y. U. P. and Sunday School Congress ended its six-day session Sunday, June 27, at the Claremont avenue rink. Approximately 4000 people attended the convention each day. It was the young people's auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention which will meet at Fort Worth Texas on September 8. The convention scheduled Tuesday night June 22, with the rink crowded to capacity. The-Rev. S. D. Ross pastor of the Second Baptist Church, Savannah, Ga., was the first speaker. He roused his audience to high pitches of excitement with a demand that the convention send a challenge to the Nation that the 14 and 15th Amendments to the Federal Constitution must be respected. He told the audience that when he was leaving Savannah, the railroad officials in Georgia had refused to sell him a ticket for a sleeper cab he was compelled to sit up all night on his way to New York.
The meeting was in reality a pre-convention rally because the first business session was held on Wednesday. Other speakers on the program the opening night were Mrs. S. W. Layten of Philadelphia, president of the Women's Auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention and Rev Willard Monroe of Abyssinia Baptist Church, New York City.

SJeanelo Mirahel's effective curving

while Martin Ditugos home run dout
over the long right field fence was the
main factor by which the Cuban's
emerged a victor in the night-cap setto,
a hard fought cleven mnming contest that
the Islanders grabbed 4 to 3.
Nip Winters, the Hilldale southpaw
and Oscar Levis, the Cuban ace hooked
up in a pitchers battle im the sun-set
tilt that went two imnings past the
regulation game before Martin Diigo
broke up the tattle with a long home
rin drive over the right field fence.

BU KLUX EXHIBIT BARRED. Despite the announcement of the official program, it appears that the Ku Klux Klan will not be permitted to stage its convention on the grounds of the Sesquicentennial Exposition at Philadelphia next September. Nor will the hooded order be permitted to parade on the Parkway as an added attraction, if the orders of Mayor Kendrick of Philadelphia are enforced. This reversal of the printed program, according to a special despatch to the New York World, followed a protest made by Dr. Isaac Landmann, a prominent Jew, who objected to the Klan events as un-American.

This reversal of the printed program, according to a special despatch to the New York World, followed a protest made by Dr. Isaac Landmann, a prominent Jew, who objected to the Klan events as un-American.
In its issue of June 19, the Philadelphia Tribune called public attention to the setting apart of three days in September for the exhibition and glorification of the Ku Klux Klan and called upon Mayor Kendrick is president of the Sesquicentennial management, to see that such a sorry exhibit of Americanism be averted. Whether it was the protest of the Negro editor or the prominent Jew, that brought about the change of program, the City of Philadelphia and the country at large should be glad of the omission of the sheeted horde as an exhibit of American institutions.
The only dissent recorded from the Mayor's order in Philadelphia was reported coming from Paul M. Winter, kleagle of the Klan there, who after recovering from the stunning blow, said: "They'll pay in the long run, all right, all right." Who the persons were who would pay and the manner of their payment, he refused to explain. But the comment may be taken as a veiled threat of political reprisals.

The scholmaster of a preceding generation who claimed that the chief end of education was to fit the student to earn his living by some gainful occupation, preferably congenial to his tastes and temperament, has not been without support in more modern times. Technical education has largely been pursued along those lines and a similar policy has been strongly favored in academic and cultural training. The material view of education has largely predominated in educational circles in this country.
The only dissent recorded from the Mayor's order in Philadelphia was reported as coming from Paul M. Winter, kleagle of the Klan there, who after recovering from the stunning blow, said: "They'll pay in the long run, all right, all right." Who the persons were who would pay and the manner of their payment, he refused to explain. But the comment may be taken as a veiled threat of political reprisals.
An English writer on the subject of "Education and the Good Life" recently approached the subject from the parental point of view, emphasizing the education of character. This education he declared should begin at birth, as the formation of desirable habits is more easily made in the early stages of existence. He holds that by the time a child is six years old his moral education should be nearly complete. Futher virtues required in later life should develop as the natural result of the good habits implanted at the earlier stage. This result of course can only be brought about by parental care and discretion directed by good sense and cheerfulness, free from spoiling either by excess of attention or undue harshness. Such an education can only be given by those parents who realize their responsibilities for training their children and are prepared to discharge them fully and conscientiously.
Editorially, the World professed to be pained at the Mayor's refusal to allow the Klan to parade as was planned. It said:
We hereby enter an earnest plea that the Klan be entered to march, and we do not base our plea on civil rights alone. Most of all, we are interested in historical accuracy. This exposition, the Mayor should remember, while dedicated specifically to the glorious deeds of 1776, stands nevertheless in a general way for the whole panorama of American history Now, it is true that the Klan is almost forgotten there was a time, four or five years ago, when it occupied a conspicuous place in our public affairs. This was not a distinguished place, perhaps, but it was a place of undeniable prominence. Like the Adam's apple of a vaudillee historian the Klan was one of those things that you had no choice but you wanted to or not. And history is history. We stickle for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, we cannot pick and choose. The Klan is as much a part of our history as the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and thus is entitled to a place on the program. Since it is such an interesting relic of the past, we believe it should be speedily placed on exhibition.
With this early moulding of character begun in the home, the child may enter the common schools with a better chance of acquiring the book knowledge required and assimilate it to serve his own needs in the line of mental development. The American ideal of education is described as "transforming a heterogeneous selection of mankind into a homogenous nation," which is one way of viewing the process of Americanizing the many diverse elements that make up our population. The high standard set for the instructor is indicated by the declaration "The teacher should love his children better than his State or his Church, otherwise he is not an ideal teacher." Ideal teachers are rare birds, hence the many failures in most educational systems.
There is something to be said in favor of this view of the Klan. One of the significant features of the Klan parades in Washington and Richmond was the number of Negro spectators who cheerfully viewed the white robed marchers and smiled at their grotesque appearance. But the Klan has a tragic as well as a comic side. The comedy does not appeal to the victims of midnight visitations and whippings. A true Klan exhibit should show both sides of the picture, at home and abroad.

A true klan exhibit should show both sides of the picture, at home and abroad.
Turning from the English writer to an American critic of educational methods, we find President Lowell of Harvard University rating American schools as too slow. He said that children did work in primary, grammar and high schools that should have been done much earlier, hence they entered college several years behind the foreign student. He viewed recent tendencies in education as being more concerned with the student than with the course. Education was being regarded less as a matter of information and more as a stimulating and incidentally a selective process. Above the rudimentary skill acquired by reading, writing and arithmetic, he declared that all real education is essentially self-education—a principle that becomes more and more true the higher the stage reached.
LOWERING THE STANDARDS
The success that has attended the work of the Young Men's Christian Association, in this and other countries, has been largely due to the fact that it has stood for the type of Christian manhood, stalwart and aggressive, that attracted the imagination of its youthful followers. This standard has been one that embodied the robust virtues inherent to manly conduct, and has been exemplified to a great extent in the examples of clean living set by its exponents. Any misconduct or lowering of this standard by those in charge of the work has been dealt with as a blow at the ideals of the association.

This standard has been one that embodied the robust virtues inherent to manly conduct, and has been exemplified to a great extent in the examples of clean living set by its exponents.
While this high standard of Christian living has been maintained for the organization, as a whole, in New York City, there has been a disposition on the part of the members of the Metropolitan Board of Trustees to lower that standard in its dealings with the branch established for colored men and boys. Owing to this unfortunate laxity in standards the moral work of the West 135th Street Branch has suffered. The growth of the branch in membership has been hindered, the cooperation of the local clergy has been alienated and the general morale of the branch has been demoralized
Dr Franklin H Giddings, professor of sociology at Columbia University, in his commencement address at Union College, Schenectady made a novel suggestion. He advocated that the colleges and universities withhold academic recognition from students who have shown no interest in the history and psychology of politics and have made no attempt to master them His reason for this was "the presence in legislative bodies and occasionally in presidential cabinets, of men certified as educated but without elementary knowledge," which he held "is neither edifying nor reassuring." The increase of mass mindedness, class consciousness, unionism, rotarianism, kukluxism and boosting was laid to the decay of the old spirit of self-reliance, which he charged to modern education.
These unfortunate results have been brought about merely to retain in office an executive, whose usefulness as secretary had been destroyed by his own action in defying the force of public opinion. The opinion of the local board of managers who demanded his removal or resignation, was set at naught and he was kept in office by the Metropolitan board to-emphasize its fixing of a lower and different standard of character for this particular branch.
The testimony of these picked authorities seems to point inevitably to the same conclusion, that the building of character is one of the essential aims of education. Technical training is subsidiary to this main consideration, although important in its place. And the education of character is started in the home through the

The result of this arbitrary action in seeking to place the Harm branch upon an inferior plane in the matter of character has been most unsatisfactory.

DR. POWELL ON LEADERSHIP
A few weeks ago Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, was reported in The Age as declaring that the Negro race is pathetically leaderless just at the present time. He was further quoted as saying that the race is handicapped by a dearth of proper and sincere leadership; that the race in the America had produced only two real leaders in the course of its history. Frederick Douglass, the statesman, was one, and Booker T. Washington, the educator, was the other. But were these men alive today, they would not know what to do—they would not be able to cope with the complex phases of modern life. When those leaders died the time in which they lived died with them, he declared.

He was further quoted as saying that the race is handicapped by dearth of proper and sincere leadership; that the race in the America had produced only two real leaders in the course of its history: Frederick Douglass, the statesman, as one, and Booker T. Washington, the educator, was the other. But were these men alive today, they would not know what do—they would not be able to cope with the complex phases of modern life. When those leaders died the time in which they lived died with them, he declared.
While we have the highest opinion of Dr. Powell's eloquence as a pulpit orator and as manifold gifts as a pastor of his flock, he do not agree with him altogether in his estimate as to the dearth of race leadership at the present or that the leaders of the past whom he mentioned would be inadequate to cope with the problems of today. We want his classification of Douglass and Washington as two real leaders, to be historically correct, but at the same time they had coadjutors and compeers who aid in the accomplishment of the results that the witness today.
The statement that neither of these two men would know what to do, if they were alive today, is of course impossible of discern, but it is not easily to be credited by those who know how they met and grappled with the problems of their own time. Both of these men were capable of adapting themselves to the time and the place that called for their activities. They were also men vision, who amid the toils and troubles their own age, could look ahead and plan for the future. We rather fancy that they could have been as much at home in dealing with our present problems, as they were with those of a generation past.
Mr. Douglass was a statesman and a philosopher, who had run the gamut of human eccissitudes during his long and varied career, which covered many phases of human eccissitudes and activities. Likewise Mr. Washington in his work as an educator set and consorted with the great and small, learning all the time lessons of human conduct and experience that enabled him to have a lasting impress upon his age, not only as the founder of a great institution, but of a popular system of education. These two men would have made their mark upon my age in which they had to play a part. Leadership is an intangible quality of character, developed by circumstances.

A PLATFORM FOR SENATOR.
We have received a copy of the platform upon which the redoubtable Nick Chiles, owner and publisher of the Topeka Plainaler, is basing his candidacy for United States Senator from Kansas, as he says, "to achieve Senator Curtis from his arduous duties of worshipping the golden calf in the east and bowing to Jeff Davis in the South." Evidently Editor Chiles has something up its sleeve for Senator Curtis.
The platform upon which Editor Chiles seeks to obtain votes in his primary campaign starts off with this original pledge: The Holy Bible for my guide." Pledges 3 and 4 are evidently intended to appeal to the Negro and Farmer voters, as they had as follows

The question of "A Settled Pastorate" appears to be looming up as an issue in the Methodist denominations. The Star of Zion, official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, sold:
The contributing editor of the Methodist Episcopal organ believes that a sustained penetration in the large cities is the most practical means of accomplishing institutional results. The trend of Methodism is in that direction. In our own context this trend has become very pronounced. We recall that the late Bishop Chancellor inspired us why the churches in a certain large city where we were pastoring did not do so well. We replied instantly, because the men were moved too often—that no large results could be obtained in that city .or any other large city by changing pastors every two or three years. In many of our large cities, pastors now remain beyond the legal limit. Certainly it is illegal, but its "importance is largely in the realm of the practical rather than the legal." The contributing editor continues, "many of the most important things in Methodism never find their way into the Discipline." The letter killeth. If Methodian waits on the Discipline many important ventures will perish.

Suffrage Comparisons
Editor of the New York Age:
The investigation by the Senate of the United States relative to several millions of dollars spent in the Republican primaries in the State of Pennsylvania goes to show that the American lawmakers can easily be choked by as little a thing as a gnat, while it can swallow a mountain without even taking a sip of water to wash her down. This investigation is the hairy hand of Eam but the voice of Jacob. This is a trap set by the Prohibition workers to great Representative Vance of the Senate seat given him by the voters of the great State of Pennsylvania. And it should be so regarded by the fair and just people of this great Republic Imagine what would have happened if a southern gentleman had gathered together a lawless gang of hoodlums and, with shot guns, had murdered several thousands of Negroes and then come to Washington and proclaimed his election. Would the Prohibitionists have uttered a single word against the seating of this gentleman, with hands dyed with the Blood of innocent colored voters, whose only crime be that of attempting to exercise their rights as guaranteed them by the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States.
Would they have even sanctioned an investigation of the wholesale murders No, not on your life! Yet they are hot on the trail of the Hon Mr. Vare. Yes, as I've said, it's the hairy hand of Eaan, but the voice of Jacob. But here is where, for one time, it will pay the southern brethren to sit quiet, and say nothing, less Mr Vare and his friends say to them "It is far better to pay the voters, in order that they ma: call their families' goods and enjoy several good meals, with them, that take shot guns and kill off, like so many unprotected dogs." But maybe the southern office seders think it is cheaper to kill the voters etc.
Let the lawmakers keep on going, and some day they might stumble upon the 14th and 15th Amendments and seek to find out why they can't be classed along with the 18th Amendment which has cost the tax-payers of this country hundreds of millions of dollars that have enriched thousands of prohibition officers who wouldn't stop bootlegging if they could. For to stop bootlegging would get these men out of iterative jobs and into the American white jobs that would do even the least thing to throw himself out of a easy money-making job —where is he? Echo answers where is he?

Praise For Social Worker
Editor of The New York Age
I wish to call your attention to an act of kindness on part of a social worker of the city, a Mrs Harris. I am sure it is the same one who made things so warm for those 'Black Jews'. A friend and I were coming down Lennox avenue last Friday when we noticed a crowd of people, mostly women, watching a woman on the steps of a house between 133rd and 134th streets. Some of the women made very ugly remarks about the woman, who, by the way, seemed to be a young woman. Finally Mrs. Harris came up and went right to the unfortunate woman and from what I learned, the girl was only twenty, and had been taken to the house by a girl friend, who gave her two drinks, the first, she said, she had ever had. Then when she was sick and helpless as a result of the drinks, they put her out on the steps. Mrs Harris had an officer call a taxicab and she took the girl to the hospital. All those other women just stood around that sick girl laughing at her. I have often seen Mrs. Harris helping old people and blind people, and

The political atmosphere of Colorado was the subject of an editorial in the Colorado Statesman of Denver, in the course of which it said:
Naturally enough, the colored voters of this state form a considerable part of the strength of the Republican organization and have consistently aided in its many victories of late years. However, some things went on within the party ranks two years ago against which we are definitely opposed and will so openly express ourselves if any attempt at the same things appear likely this year. To meet the situation fairly we are again going to advise the party managers to give the colored voter a voice in the proceedings from the very first and not wait until a short while before election and then come to us with a "state," bearing no other recommendation than a mere party label.
Frankly, we want to know precisely what we are doing this time and there should be, both in the county and state assemblies, a sufficiently large delegation of colored voters as to fittingly represent the wishes and the political rights of our people in all parts of the state. In fact, we want to be a part of the Republican party, on the "inside from now on" and not merely a political
she is never in too big a hurry to help anybody. We read your paper all the time, so I thought I would write and tell you this. Mrs. Harris is such a nice lady and always helping somebody. She got a job for me so I wouldn't have to put my children away. Everybody around here loves her because she is so good and kind to everybody, and always meets everybody with a smile. She never looks angry like some of the others do when they come around. She makes everybody feel happy and we wish she was here instead of in Brooklyn.
Bv R B ELEAZER
It is not commonly known that General Robert E. Lee, while president of Washington and Lee University, twice prevented threatened lynchings in Lexington, Va., the seat of the University. The stories are told in Riley's volume, "General Robert E Lee After Appomattox," the one being a reminiscence by Prof C. A Graves of the University faculty, and the other by Judge D Gardiner Tyler of Holdoffer, Va., an alumnus of the institution. In brief Prof. Grave's story is as follows "In the spring of 1866, while I was a student at Washington College, a report in the campus that an apprehent was being made to force the jail in order to lynch a horse thief named Jonathan Hughes, who, in the troubled-times after the war, had been plying his vocation in the neighborhood of Lexington.
When I reached the courthouse yard, within which stood the jail where Hughes was confined, it was filled with a crowd of men who had ridden in from the country to take the la w into their own hands. At the top of the jail steps, in front of the locked door, stood the jail jailer, L Perry, holding the jail keys high above his head, and facing, with grim and resolute aspect, the would-be lynchers who surrounded him
"I was not at first aware of the presence of General Lee. But there he was (having evidently preceded me,) moving quietly about among the crowd, addressing a few words to each group as he passed, begging them to let the law take its course. This scene continued for some time and is indelibly impressed on my memory. The end was there. Those stern Scotch-Irishmen, whose tenacity of purpose is proverbial, abandoned their enterprise, remounted their horses and rode out of town. They could not do a deed of lawless violence in the presence of "Marse Robert" whose standard they had followed" (and a battlefield it may have interrupted). Higgins was duly brought to trial for horse stealing, and on April 20, 1866, he was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for eighteen years."
Judge Tyler tells as follows of a similar incident which took place during his first year at Washington and Lee
"A very popular young student, a son of Judge of Brockenbrough, professor of law, got into a difficulty with a Negro and was badly shot. His life was depaired of. As soon as the news of the assault reached the college, four hundred students, with their head, searched for and captured the trembling wretch, and with a rope round his neck, marched through the streets of the town to the courthouse square, with intent to wreak their vengeance on the man. He vain that the college and town authorities ought to calm the frenzied mob and induce them to turn over the Negro to the officers of the law. Just then General Lee appeared Immediately the tumult was hushed, and the General, standing in the midst of the excited throng simply said "Young gentlemen, let the law take its course." The quiet words had the effect of a military order, and the Negro's life was saved.

That is a clear and definite statement as to the terms on which the voters of the race could continue to support the publican policies. The voters need to well to give such a program until support.
The Palmetto Leader of Georgia noted indications, of a coming change in South Carolina politics. It said
Time changes all things. Then in this State, the one party system is being displaced. Newspapers that in this past would not dare suggest what thing are now discussing the need to two vigorous parties. Of course, though they say two white parties. Time will even take care of that. Later, we simply 1: parties—made up of voters of intelligence and worth and not based on color or race irrespective of intelligence and real worth.
What is a sign of promise for the future not to be ignored. Another ampleulous omen noted by the Leader the attitude taken by the Columbia State, one of the fairest white newspapers of the South, in discussing ably and sympathetically the desire of intelligent and thrillty colored people to live in decent surroundings.
Commenting on the action or some Atlanta preachers in opposing the presence of pool tables in the local Y. C. A., the Atlanta Independent staff:
Professor Trend stood his ground, and kept the door open, and the tables yield an income ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 a year. As soon as Mr Trend left, the preachers raised a howl and succeeded in forcing the management to arbitrarily take the tables out, or stack them in the corner.
As a result, the young men followed the tables back to the wicked pool rooms, where t.v. play pool in the midst of gamblers, loafers and dancers. The Association has lost its revenue from the pool-tables, and not a church has made a contribution, and not a preacher has made an appeal to make up the deficiency caused by the removal of the pool-tables. And the result is that the Association is without a Secretary, in fact, without a manager, and is in bad, and is rendering no real service to the community.
This was termed a church policy of ruin and the Independent called upon the managers of the association "to show Luke, or put up the gun." This cryptic injunction is probably clear to those to whom it was addressed.
Referring to the third annual session of the Oklahoma Negro Business Conference, held at Okmulgee, the Oklahoma City Black Dispatch said:
Even though the meetings have been largely inspirational, the organization can point with pride to the rapid growth of two co-operative movements, the direct result of the contacts formed within the league. We refer to the Security Life Insurance Company and the Hooker Trust Company. In the past three years, the Security Life Insurance Company has written and has in force on its books, a half million dollars worth of insurance. It has been able to place men and their money into the organization from every section of Oklahoma. The recent done made by the company, in winding up its stock sale, indicates that this particular company has developed trust and confidence in Negroes in every corner of the commonwealth.
The same is true of the Hooker Trust Company. Starting out with only an idea, through the medium of course of the league, Hooker and his associates have been able to assemble men and men who are today building of the most successful business of the Hooker Trust Company run every month into thousands of dollars in a growing concern that could nothing else but the monthly shoes that it sells all over the United States.

Eldar M. C. Strackey, the pastor of the Martins Church, 106-108 West 127th street, occupied his pulpit last Saturday morning and brought the message. 'Since their return from the World Conference in Milwaukee both the pastor and his good wife have had a brief reat. They stopped off at Chicago where pastor Strachan called on the Rev. Dr. Tanner. The pastor also preached one 'Sunday night for Eldar George E. Peters of the Chicasgo Adventist Church.'
Last Sunday night Elder C. H. Wilkinson assistant to pastor Strachan, was married to one of the young ladies of the congregation, Miss Evangeline Hall. Following the reception at their newly furnished apartment in Williambridge, the couple departed for a honeymoon on the Jersey shores. A host of friends of the bride and groom wiltressed the ceremonies. Pastor Strachan officiated.
Grace Church of Harlem
The services at Grace Church were well attended last Sunday. The church school had full class attendance. The new teachers were: Mrs. Mamie Bullard, Miss L.

Research At the Verger Services, Rev Wilson Campbell was the speaker and although the audience was not large it was very appreciative. This service closed at 8:30 p.m.
The presence of several young people visiting New York to take summer school training at Columbia University was noted at the morning service in Grace Church. The choir sang the-Soprano solo beautifully. A small bulletin gave the facts of weekly activities.
Rush Memorial Church
Dr. Gee M. Oliver delivered an inspiring sermon to the junior Church on "The Rose." A goodly number of the young folks present and seemed to appreciate the lesson. At 11 o'clock the pastor proached to quite a large and enthusiastic congregation. His sermon was directed principally to the children in commemoration of Children's Day, text, 1. Sam J. Jil, Subject, "The Religion of The Child" Dr. Oliver commented on the mind of a child in the classroom and only it is to train a child either for those things which make a better life or it may be awayed towards the less important conditions of life. In the evening, Dr. Oliver's sermon dealt with "The uncertainty of Life" Tim. 1-12 Noble Ross, tenor, was soloist for the day. A cordial invitation is extended the public to worship with us.
Union Baptist Church
During the past week the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress met in Brooklyn at the Concord Baptist Church, Dr. J. B. Adams, pastor. Our pastor, Dr. G. H. Sims, delivered the welcome address in behalf of the New York Colored Baptist State Convention and its auxiliary.
Sunday 11 a. m. Dr L. M. Glenn, of Savannah Ga. delivered a wonderful message on Church Trumph. The Sunday school had its quarterly review. A brief program was rendered by the Bible Advance Class, of which Mrs. I. Elliott and Mrs. I. Overby are teachers.
A program was reddened in the B. Y. P. U. by Mrs. Bertha Walker. The speakers were Deason W. Thomas and Miss Ada Ancrum.

The New York Age To Publish Life Story Of George Godfrey, Prospective Champion
Recent developments in the heavyweight division of the boxing world have placed both Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills in the shadow of retirement. According to ring experts both of these fighters have gotten completely out of condition because of their inactivity. Dempsey is alleged to be suffering from a nervous condition which will prevent him from ever returning to his former condition, and Harry Wills' age—he is more than 35—prevents his getting into condition for a long bout. For these reasons it is believed that one more fight will see the defeat and retirement of both.
Younger boxers are, therefore, beginning to attract serious consideration. George Godfrey, the 26 year old giant from Alabama, is the best of the colored heavyweights, excepting Wills. The sport department of this paper has gotten an exclusive account of his life's history. This story, which begins in next week's papers, will also throw light on other present day boxers and some of the inside workings of the boxing game.
The first chapter will tell of Godfrey's early life and how he broke into the boxing game as sparring partner for Jack Johnson shortly after he was released from Fort Leavenworth Prison, in 1920. This chapter will also tell how Johnson, for $1,000, virtually sold Godfrey into slavery to Jun Dougherty and Jack Kearns, then manager of Jack Dempsey.

Permission for the bout was granted. The championship will be staged at either Madison Square Garden or the Yankee Stadium, both of which are controlled by Tex Rickard for his boxing enterprises. It will probably be at the Yankee Stadium.
Gretz has been clamoring for another chance and Miller has agreed to give it to him. Flowers has had two houts since he won the title, the last being a ten round no decision bout with Young Bob Hollies immimons in Jersey City. In this bout Flowers won practically every round

nineteenth home run in the double header
series between the Lincoln and Harrisburg Giants at Protectory, Oval Sunday. The two teams split even on the
series, the Lincoln copping the first
game, 14.7 and Harrisburg taking the
other, 17.5. Both were free hitting at
fairs, both teams hitting the ball freely.
The Lincoln made a total of 20 hits
during the first contest but in the second Carter's pitching held them down to nine
During the first game a free for all fight among the players was narrowly averted when Cannady slugged Empire Davis for what he thought was an unfair decision. Manager Cloud Lept Cannady from hitting the empire a second time and presented the special policeman, who ran on the field from arresting Cannady. When the other Harrisburg players saw the officer running them all ran out evidently thinking the policeman would attempt to arrest Cannady or strike him. He was put out of the game but no further disturbance followed.
Everyone is invited to attend this glorious event. The livliest affair of the season-souvenirs and surprises galore.

A benefit for the mother of George Walker of the former team of Williams and Walker was arranged and presented last Tuesday night, at the Albamra Theatre by "Bill "Bojangles" Mrs. Walker, it is said, died, lost all her property, and is in dire need of assistance. Many Broadway stars were on the bill. When the show was half over, Bill Robinson introduced Mrs. Walker on the stage. A collection was taken up by passing a basket through the audience and over $300 was realized. Bill announced that the box office took in $2,175, and also $1,000 from Mr. E. F. Albee. After all expenses were paid she reached about $2,500. Another benefit was given in Chicago last Friday night.
"Bojangles" was personally in charge of the benefit, and arranged for Mrs. Walker's transportation from her home at Lawrence, Kan., accompanied by Robinson's mother-in-law. Returning to Chicago for the benefit in that city, Mr. Robinson provided a Pullman drawing room for her comfort. In addition, he arranged in advance for fees to the various members of the Pullman crew, requesting them to look after her personal needs. Robinson has interested himself in similar moments for relief of needy Thespians, his last prior effort having been a benefit for the late Mae Kemp, who, at the time, was confined to the Cancer Hospital, Welfare Island. This benefit netted $800, which "Bojangles" personally took over and delivered to "the beneficiary."

Shortly after this incident he decided he wanted to become an actor and came east. For a long-time he performed in vaudeville in a single act as a Chinese impersonator. Later, he was a member of the team of Catlin and Kelly, and was for five years with the Williams and Walker shows.
In recent years he appeared less frequently on the stage. He was doorman at the Lafayette Theatre during the time that playhouse was under the direction of the Quality Amusement Corporation and was also a member of the Lafayette players.
So far as is known he had no relatives and few of his friends knew of his illness. Funeral services were held Saturday from the funeral parlor of Granville O. Paris, with Jease Shipp and Lloyd Gibbs, his two closest friends, as the chief mourners. Interment was in a local cemetery.

A new show, "Magnolia" written Alex Rogers and, "Lucky," Roberts, will open soon as one of the Broadway houses.
George Catlin, the first Negro to impersonate a Chinaman on the stage, is dead after a brief illness. Catlin was one of the oldest performers of his race in New York and enjoyed the respect and esteem of a host of friends. His death occurred Wednesday, June 23. According to Jesse A. Shipp and other veterinary performers, Catlin was a real artist, and that he did not attain larger fame was due to his lack of aggressiveness. Only once in his life says Mr. Shipp, did Catlin show any real push. He was living in Omaha, Neb., at the time General Grant was returning from his tour around the world. When the general reached-Omaha, he
On Monday, July 5th, the Savoy Ballroom announces an excellent program of holiday entertainment with a special holiday matinee in the afternoon beginning at 3 p.m., during which elaborate presentations will be staged for the amusement of its large following. Five well known orchestras will be on hand both in the afternoon and evening as a special added attraction, among whom are: Jimmy Wade and his Moulin Rouge Orchestra, direct from Chicago, Jimmy Vaughn and his orchestra from the Lucky Sambo show: Bill Brown and His Brownies, Fess Williams Royal Flush orchestra and the Charleston Bearcats. The Savoy will be decorated appropriate to the occasion and will be ablaze with patriotic splendor. Souvenirs for everyone attending are promised.
Announcements for July and August include additions to the program of weekly features every Tuesday night, "Bathing Beauty," "Charleston Contest," a very original departure from the unusual thing because of the unique combination of the two popular diversifications. A trip to Atlantic City for a full week in August with all expenses paid is the main prize for the Bathing Beauty Contest, but there is also $500 cash purse, Parisian gift packages to all girls entering the contest and the four winners each Tuesday night will be presented with one piece bathing suits. Following this offering news comes of the Chinese Mandarin Costume Ball, Wednesday, July 21, with a special program of Chinese fantastical effects entirely new. A group of comely Geisha Girls will be on hand to sing and dance in true Chinese style, with the opening of the Chinese Kitchen at the Savoy on that night with a Chinese chef.

were ixcouraging enough to weaken

“Coming to New York twenty-five
years ago, Sergeant Battle said bi
original ambition then was to becomes
Tawyer, but on xccount of the death of
Hhis, father," which ocenrred several
months after hls arrival,‘bils first plans
fwere frustrated. Soeop:
Jn the interim he met a very bei
tiful lady with avery beautiful per-
sonality, the result was they got mar:
ried. That settled tls plans in so far
as the acquisition of Jurisprudence Jore
waa concerned.
This, however, did not completely
smother his ambition to become some-
thing other than a Red-eap, which em-
ployment he fas then in, and. mhich
employment, he declared, fn his address,
‘gail him more in perauisites then than
the salary of a police sergeant which
be naw draws. a
So, after mach debsting within bim

a certainty to an uncertainty, and after

ents he putchased the mantal on “Hos
to Become a Patrolman.”
But, said Sergeant Battie in recount:
ing his experiences of ‘early days a a
patrolman fifteen years ago, the going
was extremely hard, for be was th
Bret of his race to enter the polic
force in the greater city. Quite nat.
urally, sard he, the opposition to his
was extremely agute, and there were
times, he declared, when his very hear
was made to adhe at diserimunation:
which be knew was due absolutely tc

he weathered this storm df oppositior
until the present Police Commissioner
Mr McLaughlin took cognizance o

finale yet to his ambition
‘According to Sergeant Battle, Com
missioner McLaughiin brds fair to make
‘one of the best police commissioner:
that New York as has ever had, fa:
he judges a man on his merits, and no

The other speaker on the progran

IN MEMORIAM
In constant and loving memory of
a beloved husband and father, Matthew
A Welmon who fell asleep on June
29, 1922
Sleep me, dear one thy cares are
thee.
The loving hands will work no more
We miss you most who loved you best
We know you're now among the blest.
When you breathed your last farewell
The blow meant more than words
can tell
Our home is quite another place.
Without the smile of your dear face
You succeeded much you murmured not
We watched you day by day;
Until at last with broken hearts.
We saw you pass away
