The Rev. Dr. William P. Hays, Pastor, Mr. Orest Expaint Church, New York City—The Trustees of Howard University deserve to be congratulated on their choice of Dr. Moehda Johnson for the presidency of that famous institution. Dr. Johnson is, to my mind, the best man to whom the position could have been offered. He possesses the naturally training, is a forceful speaker, and has the courage of his convictions. If he decides to accept, which I trust he will, Howard University can pride itself on having at its head the right man in the right place."
Dr. R. NATHANIEL DETT, dept. of Department of Music, Hampton Institute—His is a wonderful personality."
Mrs. ADDEE W. HUNTON president of College of Applied Arts, was dean of Dr. Moehda Johnson—a wist step. He has affinities that will be of great value to Howard's future.

Tarrytown Cook Wins Assault Case Against Employer Who Is Fired
Tarrytown, N. Y.-Henry G. Auterrieth, wealthy and prominent South Broadway resident, was fined $15 on conviction for assault in the third degree on the charge preferred by Mrs. Milred Lavender, colored cook in the Auterrieth residence, before Judge William C. Duell, Saturday, July 3.
The court took into consideration the defendant's past reputation in fixing the penalty, Judge Duell said. It was the first time that Mr. Auterrieth had been before the court charged with any misdemeanor. This, and the fact that he is a prominent and respected resident of the community, Judge Duell said, had a bearing on the case.
Mrs. Lavender had Mr. Auterrieth summoned to court on Saturday, June 26. She alleged that he struck her and put her out of his house when she came in at 12 o'clock Monday night, June 21. She testified in court that he was engaged and struck her, refusing to allow her to explain that she had missed the bus and walked to the house.
Mr. Auterrieth was given a hearing on Monday morning, June 28, and acted as his own attorney. The case was not completed Monday and was adjourned to Tuesday morning, when it was resumed by Judge Duell's office in the Felling Building. Additional testimony was taken and Judge Duell found Auterrieth guilty as charged

The Lincoln Presidential Alumni Association is convened by eight on the newly named president-elect of Lincoln University, R. Kai, W. K Greenway, by making a concrete charge that the minister is a trustworthy with the infamous Ku Klux Klan, if not actually a member.
In a formal statement shared by the president, E. P. Washburn, D. D, and the secretary William M. Ashley, of Lincoln University, declares that Dr. John Leland president of the board of trustees corralled his friends and supporters on the board and repatriated shod over the minority membership in joining Dr. Greenway as the new president of Lincoln, and then took to forestall criticism by usurping the membership through a gay protest that the matter be kept secret until Dr. Greenway indicated whether not he would be allowed to attend the Alumni Association quotes from the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin of June 24, a statement made by Dr. Greenway from his pulpit in which he is alleged to have protected the ban imposed by Mayor Kendricks on a proposed parade of the Klan during September in connection with the Sequentialennial Celebration, and to have asserted that he march with the Klan if he belonged. Heading their statement with the declaration, "Ku Klux Klan Sympathizer Tendered Presidency of Lincoln University," the Alumni Association expresses its attitude as follows:
Afraid To Distract.
"The Alumni of Lincoln University have been stirred into a rage by the knowledge that the presidency of that important institution has been tendered to a southern man. The meeting at which the tender took place was held by the board of trustees of the university in the Witherspoon Building, Philadelphia, Pa., on June 23. The man to whom the presidency was tendered was the secretary of the university, Dr. Thomas Church, Fifth Third and Syracuse streets, Philadelphia. He was born in Browlesville, Tennessee, and educated at Washington College.
"In May a committee of five of the trustees board was appointed to bring into the board of trustees at its annual meeting, the name of a candidate for president. It is believed that the majority of the education of Prof. Walter L. Wright, who has been at the University for about thirty years, and who is beloved by alumni and students alike. The Alumni, at their annual meeting, held at the university on June 15, are manually recommended Prof. Wright.
Ignored The Committee.
It is thought that the committee of five had no opportunity to make the recommendation effective at the board meeting. What happened was that Dr. John B. Laird, president of the board of trustees, who has absolutely no good feeling for Lincoln, corralled his friends on the board and rode rough-shoot over the minority members, "who are the real friends of the university, and have its interests at heart.
"In order that the opportunity for protest might not be given to the Alumni and other friends of the institution, a gagging motion, silencing the Board until the candidate would indicate his acceptance, is shown of man the Dr Greenway is shown by the following excerpts from an article in the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, June 28
"Pastor Repa Clan Ban."—Dr Greenway says he'd march if he belonged. Mayor Hendrick's order refusing to allow the Ku Klux Klan to hold a parade in the city next September in connection with the Sesquien-Centennial was criticized in a sermon last night by the Rev Walter B Greenway, pastor of the Bethany Temple Prebyterian Church, 35rd and Spruce streets. "Where are we American?" he cried. In answer to this there was a chorus which boomed. "No."

New Captain For Harlem; Promotion For Mulrooney
The recent skateau of the Police Department by Commissioner McLaughlin brought about the promotion and transfer of former capt in Edwin P Mulrooney who had been in charge of the West 115th street station during the past three years. It is now Deputy Inspector Mulrooney, and he commands the 11th Inspection District, with head quarters at Poplar Street station, Brooklyn. Harlem is glad to congratulate Inspector Mulrooney upon his promotion but regrets that his new honors take him away from this community. He helps draw upon his approachability and fair-mindedness. He is succeeded by captain (amiele C) Pierre, a veteran officer, though comparatively young in years, who comes with a fine reputation as an officer and capable officer. C amiele Pierre has elicited his intention to give to this community the very best service of which he is capable.
Dr. Cheney Must Pay Back $600 Borrowed From Mrs. Douglass
The Supreme Court has denied the motion of, Dr. Perry W. Cheney of 200 West 135th street, for permission to reargue or for the alternative for leave to appeal to the Appellate Division, from the verdict of $600 and costs awarded Mrs. Elaine Douglas by the Seventh District Court last February. Dr. Cheney, through his attorney, Cornellius W. McDougall, appealed to the Supreme Court, alleging the award was made against the weight of evidence. The Appellate Division, which recently passed on the merits of the case, was unanimous in affirming the verdict. Dr. Cheney had expressed a determination to take the case to the U. S. Supreme Court if necessary. But to appeal further, it is necessary to get permission from the Appellate Court. The denial of the defendant's motion would serve to indicate that the members of the Appellate Court did think they were in error when they affirmed the judgment of the Municipal Court.
The suit followed repeated demands for the return of a loan made Dr. Cheney by Mrs. Douglas from insurance money received at the death of her late husband, a world war veteran. The plaintiff was represented by Assemblyman Abraham Greenthal.

Negro Woman Gets First Pistol Conviction Under New Laws
Mayme Brown, a Negro of No. 174 West 137th street an ex-convict, was the first person to be convicted for violation of the Sullivan law since the Baymes Crimes Laws went into effect.

Lincoln Alumni Again Up In Arms When Dr. Greenway Is Reported To Have Been Secretly Named to Head University
Philadelphia, Pa.—A rumor to the effect that the Lincoln University board of trustees had held a meeting and secretly elected the Rev. Mr. Jerry Freyway, pastor of the Bethany Freeyway Church, of Wanamaker Church, the next Lincoln president, is causing much uneaseinsp among the alumni and friends.
That the alleged president-elect made a trip to Lincoln University, preserving an encumbrate while he circulated over and about the campus and university, not even greeting members of the faculty who were on the grounds, is another report that is disturbing.
Members of the General Alumni Association are declaring that the present deplorable situation is due largely to alleged lack of sympathy with the alumni on part of the president of the tutee body the Rev Dr John B. Laird. This, they point out,
Officer Otto Burke
Captures Burglar in
Act of Robbing Home
Thank's to the bravery of Policeman Otto Burke of the West 130th street precinct, Mia, Katherine Curtis of 12 West 130th street and all other sessions intact.
While she was old shopping, Saturday afternoon, her apartment was the scene of a two act play. Act one, enter the burglar himself. Act two, exit the burglar with Patrolman Burke.
Burke was on his way home when he was told that a man had been seen crawling through a window of Mrs. Corbyn apartment. When the patrolman got into the house by the same means as the bugler, he heard someone at work, cleaning out the apartment. The burglar heard him enter and made a dash for the street followed by the officer. On the stairs, the burglar turned and drew a revolver, aimed it at Burke, and pulled the trigger. The gun jammed and failed to go off.
The policeman fired and brought down his man whom he placed under arrest. At the station house, the prisoner gave his name as Albert Stuart, 35 of B3 West 123rd Street. He had been shot in the right leg by the officer and was taken to Bellevue Hospital. According to police, Stuart has a record.
William Harleston, former employment agent, and an usher of Salem M. F. Church, was captured in Chicago Monday, June 28. Harlej jumped his bail of $5,000 while awaiting trial on a charge of repisting an officer and of violating the Sullivan law.
The H. and H. Financing Corporation, which furnished the bail bond, sent a representative with a detective to identify Harleston. He was brought back to New York handcuffed to Chaucery A. Hyland, the bondman, and is now being held without bail for trial. In Chicago he is alleged to have been representing himself as a traveling deputy of the I. B. P. O. E. W. He had been given an enthusiastic welcome to the Fort Dearborn Lodge and other lodges in the Windy City.
The original charge against his came as the result of an altercation with his landlady. Her nephew took a hand in the quarrel and is said to have entered the room with a revolver, which was taken by Harleston.
Patrolman Williams was told of the altercation and when he arrived on the scene he said that Harleston pointed the revolver in his direct head of surrender when asked to. The patrolman fired away and Harleston was wounded in the alabemen.
He was rushed to Harlem Hospital where the bullet was removed and later he was released from the hospital and held on the charge of violating the Sullivan Law and resisting an officer. Friends secured the bail for him. Chauncey Hyland was met at the station by his partner William Hewlett and Rufus Hatchett.
is shown by his persistent opposition to any proposal which would admit the alumni to representation on the board. Declaring that since the "university" position has been授权 to minister to the educational covered race" Dr. Lard and others on the board who are not in sympathy with the needs and desires of the race should resign, members of the alumni make the definite assertion that the Board president let it be understood that however natural the desire might be on part of the alumni to participate in the management of Lincoln University, "the board would not permit it."
Say Greenway Is Unfit
It is said that while some of the board members have the friendliest and fairest sort of feeling for the colored students and alumni, there are others who are of the same attitude as Dr. Laird, and thus the sought for recognition of the race is withheld. It is asserted that it would be a strenuous task to rev. Mr. Greenway if he accepts the office, since a majority of the alumni is arrayed against him. Mr. Greenway, it is said, is a native of Tennessee, and his residence in the North has not removed his native antipathies. The alumni is not willing, because of his southern birth and racial attitude, to accept the alleged prejudice, and it this. Greenway is with report of the alleged secret visit of Greenway, sb the school.
Another objection expressed by members of the alumni is that while Dr. Greenway has been a pastor, and for many years an assistant in the work of Presbyterian evangelism with Dr. Maby, he has had no practical educational experience or training. This gives basis for the belief of supporters of the reputed president-elect, the educational standing of Lincoln, but are more intent on supplying a place for Dr. Laird's protege.
An Alumnus Speaks Out
One outspoken alumnus said: "The attitude of Dr. Laird toward the present members of the faculty is unheard of and revolting. If in the faculty are men incapable of occupying the president's chair these should be given first consideration Dr. Laird and some of his fellow trustees are so used to treating Negro Presidents that he is unable to treat colored men as men. "The board of trustees should know now, as later that if they have decided to bar the colored race from a share in the management of that institution, they might as well close its doors. Our sons, born and unborn, will not accept educational guidance from any set of men that deny the natural rights of men as they are sons, our sons, as every spot of her campus as far as we prefer to see her closed rather than have our children deprived of their manhood. "The colored race that has furnish of the trustee board without regard berth for the friend of some member ed the student body of Lincoln in the past will not furnish any longer if the Laird spirit is to rule in Linden, have no objection to any minister who has admitted he should be a known educator. The presidency of that institution must not be a berth for the medicine, a hunter of a job, nor must it be a
Race Is With Alumni
"Irespective of denominational bias, the colored race stands squarely with the alumni and against that portion of the trustee board that nores the wishes of the colored people. The colored race resents the treatment of the present faculty of Warren. When the group of trustees that have some interest to vent. Any man of the known unfitness of Mr. Greenway should not have been considered. If Mr. Greenway lends himself to this unchristian and almost brutal attitude of some of the trustee board, he might as well jump into the fire as to go out to Lincoln. He should oblige men now in a school apart for them and deep them voice in the running of that institution is criminal, unjust and an insult to every colored person in whom sons courses red blood. Some of the trustees of Lincoln are beyond question the personification of fair play and justice, but others are not, and these of antagonistic and unsympathetic attitude should resign immediately. For their presence on the board for moral to good will between the race as they must meet and associate at Lincoln."
Apparent Disregard of Enforcement Officials Is Arresting Citizens To Wonder If Bootleggers and 'Numbers' Men Have Corrupted The Entire Federal and Local Corps
One of Harlem's most prominent professional men, a former city official, asked the question, Why is it the "hooch" sellers are opening up so many new joints on Lenox and Seventh avenues in absolute defiance of the law.
The questioner was given the suggestion that the question might be asked of United States Attorney Emery R. Bckner, but as to whether an answer would be forthcoming remained to be seen.
The boldness of the "numbers" operators, says an observant citizen, is second only to that of the booch seller. A number of the men who are employed by the bank are on a regular schedule each morning, picking up their collections, and there is nothing clandestine or hidden in their movements. Whether it is on a particular street —ner, or in a certain store, the collector walks boldly and openly like a picking up the slips with the money from the players on the street, or being handed an envelope with
As a matter of fact, it is rumored promptly that one of the reasons why the bottleggers operate with so much freedom from niterference in Harlem is to be found in the apparent disregard of the Federal Attorney for the well-being of the Harlem community.
It is difficult, to believe, said one citizen, that the federal authorities would deliberately ignore illegal operations. It ary particular locality through lack of sympathy or interest, and yet, said he, there seems to be no other answer to the question.
Doren New Joints
A recent casual survey of Lenox and Seventh avenues disclosed the fact that some seven new hooch places had been opened on Lenox and five or more on Seventh. And the boldness with which these places operate is shown in the fact that few of them have found it necessary to use a "lookout" as is done by so many of the older places. There must be an answer to the question asked by the prominent professional man, but after long months of investigation, followed by printed exposures of the hooch situation in Harlem, The New York Age is as much in the dark now as in the beginning. The obvious answer would be "graft," but that would instantly venality on part of all law enforcement groups.
Of course, it is well known that the bootleggers have a heavy "pay roll" on which many names of officials of all degrees appear, but, as another citizen pointed out, it seems improbable that all of the officers can be "reached." But whether this is the answer or not, the booch points continue boldly in operation, and almost every week sees new places opened up to get some of the financial "gravy" coming from catering to thirsty appetites with more desire than discretion.
The "Numbers" Situation
It is said that repeal of the Mullen Gage law handcuffed the police force so far as hooch selling vacations are concerned, but no such handcuff obtains so far as their ability to handle the "numbers" situation is concerned. They not only have a free hand in this particular, but they have a specific duty.

The holdiness of the "numbers" operators, says an observant citizen, is second only to that of the boocher seller. A number of the men who are employed by the bank are on a regular schedule each morning, picking up their collections, and there is nothing clandestine or hidden in their movements. Whether it is on a particular street —ner, or in a certain store, the collector walks boldly and openly, picking up the slips with the money from the players on the street, or being handed an envelop with money and slips already taken up by the storekeeper or clerk who has been subjubilated to act as a go-between.
Are Police Being Paid.
And this brings the question—Are the police being paid by the "numbers" bankers to keep hand. off? This query in turn calls attention to the charge made in The Age recently that some of the bankers who are alleged to "pay off" to the police furnish their collectors' rumors and other employees with a card bearing a certain symbol, and when this card is shown to an interfering cop, the man is quickly allowed to go on about his business, incidentally continuing to "attend" to his business of collecting "numbers" slips.
The activities of certain of the Jew bankers in Harlem have recently been directed toward a possible monopolizing of the business, and this means the putting out of business of the few colored men, American or Cuban, who have been strong enough to survive past pressure. It is free; reported, as a matter of fact, that most of the latter have had to get out only a few still being in the business. The famous Marcelina, one of the first of the ilk to win prominence, who rode around Harlem in $15,000 automobiles, with uniform chauffeurs, and who transformed his Harlem residence in "Striver." Ro into a verit 've palace, all from his pr fits as a "numbers" bankers, is considerably reduced in financial circumstance one report being that he is "broke"
All Classes Play Game.
In the meantime, the game is becoming an addiction, more or less, to all classes and conditions, all ages and both sexes. Grocery stores have been saved from bankruptcy through commissions from "numbers" collections, candy cigar and hardware stores likewise. The school child is permitted to play us pemDr Cheney through his attorney. Lorenees each morning as it passes along enroute to school, and the mother comes right behind with the money she has gotten f from the father to buy the child's lunch or to get something for the family dinner pot. But the father is not to be disregarded—he has held out enough to put a play on the number he dreamed of the night before, or some number that has come to him in a way that was a bit out of the ordinary
Do they win? Mighty seldom. And when the combinations of figures do which the money it has been played does happen to appear, that does not mean that the player of ... slip is going to get the supposed winnings. Ah, no. For if the player has ventured any considerable amount, something happens to the alleged number and it appears as something else. And the banker keeps the money in his pocket.
Or, sometimes, the banker pays the money to the collector who brought in the slip for transmittal to the "lucky" winner, but again something happens, the runner "forgets," and the silly wight who dreamed of vast winnings on the number played is left to his disappointment. Just a week or two ago such a thing happened and the unlucky devil who was the victim walked into a barber shop and calmly proceeded to cut his throat, feeling that the game was too long for him.
The question asked in the first paragraph and the query as to the "numbers" operations may be asked of the Federla' Protector and the police au thorites but will they answer?

At the time of his death, he was pastor of St. Montica's Catholic Church, Heuletta, and Equaw streets, and the only colored Catholic priest in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. He was a member of the Order of St Joseph. Father Dorsay was born in Baltimore in 1874 and was educated in the public schools of this city. He began his classical studies at St. Thomas Seminary, St. Paul, Minn., and continued at Epiphany College, Walkrook, St. Joseph's Seminary and St. Mary's Seminary in this city. He was ordained a priest by the late James. Cardinal Gibbons, June 2, 1902, in the Baltimore Cathedral.
Since becoming a priest he had been a professor at St. Joseph's College, Montgomery, Al., pastor of St. Peter Claver Church, Pine Bluff, Ark., and for seventeen years a Missionary priest among his people.
In the fulfillment of his duties as a missionary, Father Dorsey had visited almost every state on the Atlantic Seaboard from the lakes to the Gulf. He has preached in many of the great cathedrals of the country and has performed the sacred rites of his office on cotton plantations and in the rice fields of the far South.
Seven years ago, his Superior, fearing that the strenuous life of a missionary was beginning to undermine his health, Father Dorsey was recalled to Baltimore and placed as pastor of St. Monica's Church where he 'was doing excellent works among his race in that section of the city
A mother, Mrs. Emma Dorsey and a brother, C. Marcolus Dorsey, are the survivors of the deceased priest. The Batamor Council No.13, Kmghits of Peter Claver and the Knights of St John acted as guards of honor during the period that the deceased priest lay in state in the church. The mass for the dead on Saturday was celebrated by Rev. Charles R. Luncea, of Newburgh, N. Y., Rev. Norman A. Duckett, of Detroit, Michigan and Rev. Joseph A. John, of St. Anthony Mission House in New Jorsey, (all colored Catholic Priesta). About forty of his fellow priest sat within the sanctuary, and His Grace Arch-bishop Curley, who is in Ireland, was represented by Monsignor Foley, who gave the final Benediction.
More than 3000 friends of the dead priest had assembled in and about the church, and as the funeral cortege passed on to its final rest, evidences of grief and sorrow could be seen on all sides, and among all classes of people. The Very Rev L. B Pastorell, head of the Order of St Joseph was in charge of the funeral arrangements. He was assisted by Father Joseph Murphy, and Father Thomas Brophy, who has been acting as pastor of the church during Father Dorsey's illness. The funeral director was Mr Clarence C. Wright, who was a boyhood friend of the dead priest

New Haven, Conn. — The League of Women Veterans of the Minneapolis World of the City of New Haven, Conn., of which Mrs. Louise Bolleletta is chairman, has accomplished things during its existence of only a few months. Features in its unique program since its formation last. May include a banquet in honor of Jasper Peaker and his Equal Rights Bill, which he has endeavored to make, a law in Connecticut for some years past, but has been handicapped because of lack of interest and co-operation of the group with which he is identified. At this banquet, which way, held at the Emmanuel Baptist Church, chose the city officials were present and spoke of the worth of the guest of honor for the past forty years. These men were Major Louis Ullman, controller Barnes and Mr. Sherman, secretary to the Mayor, also, Father H. secretary to the Mayor, also, John Pharr, pastor of Church Emmanuel, Councilor Harry O. Tollivec and Dr. Richard S. Fleming. Mrs. Sarah L. Fleming, secretary of the League, presided. A purse of twenty-five dollars was presented to Mr. Peaker.
Another large piece of work by the ladies was an attack upon the reported discrimination shown to the members of the group by the management of the Hyperion Theatre. The vice-chairman, Mrs. Elouise Day, with the assistance of the officials of the main branch of the League of Women Voters of the City, waited upon the management of the committee before him and voicing a strenuous disapproval of any submissibility of a segregative move either by the management or their employees; received a promise that such a condition would be changed.
The other case wherein the League of Women Voters was strenuous in its demands for redress was one in which a young colored woman of the community was attacked by two white ruffians at her place of employment. The League was not satisfied with the continual postponement of the case in court, and so proceeded to see what could be done to prevent the dropping of the case, which seemed imminent unless some interest was taken in the matter immediately. So a committee consisting of Mrs. Elouise Day, Mrs. Sherman Hill, and Mrs. Lusia D. Phatai was appointed to visit the Court and manifest some interest in the case. This was a great success, for the City Judge, in passing the case to the higher court, stated that he saw clearly that the assault had been committed with the intent to rape and that he hoped that both assailants would be sent to the penitentiary.
The League engaged the services of Attorney Tolliver in placing the case before the courts.

The Entire New Sensational "Club Alabam Revue"
According to W. W. Sanders, state supervisor of Negro schools in West Virginia, who is spending his vacation in New York City, the state of West Virginia with a colored population of only 90,000 leads the entire South in educational advantages for colored people. There is no discrimination against colored people in the matter of school facilities in his state says Mr. Sanders. Negroes receive per capita as much for school buildings as other races. The colored school teacher in West Virginia is on an average better prepared for her job than the white school teacher and many of them receive more salary than whites.
West Virginia College Institute, of which John W. Davis is president, is maintained as the state college. This institution has recently applied for membership in the Northeastern Accrediting Association, composed of grade A state institutions of this section. It is expected that in a short time this institution will be a recognized grade A college. Bluefield Institute at Bluefield, is also maintained as a junior college by the state. This institution has recently inaugurated a program of expansion to put on more industrial and vocational courses, to train colored young men to take their places in the industries of the state.
An annual appropriation of $10,000 is also given toward the maintenance of Storer College at Harper's Ferry. In addition to these educational institutions there are 25 accredited high schools for colored boys and girls throughout the state, Ms. Sanders. He reports the colored people of West Virginia as making commendable progress in other lines.

DANGEROUS FIREWORKS.
There are indirect methods of breaking the law or insisting to lawlessness that are no less harmful in their results than open violence or soap box oratory. The advantage of this sort of suggestion is that the authors save their own skins and reputations by disavowing any open encouragement of lawbreaking. This is the sort of journalism practiced by many Southern white newspapers, which has created the sentiment that breeds lynching and other forms of mob violence. A report of some crime attributed to a Negro, true or false, is magnified and distorted in such manner, as to inflame the imagination of all who read or listen to the reading. Summary punishment is demanded for the protection of the community. And thus the sentiment is created upon which mob law is based.

It was rather startling to find this form of yellow journalism resorted to in Harlem, especially in the columns of a Negro weekly usually marked by sobriety, and where exaggeration and over-emphasis are rare. The article referred to appeared on the first page of a recent issue of the Amsterdam News marked as "an editorial." It started by saying that the Negro does not take readily to "black hand" tactics in resenting insults to his race. But, if he did—here came the covert invitation to violence, referring to a certain theatre—"it would some fine morning find itself a heap of ruins from a bomb or torch."
After referring to acts of discrimination practised by the management of this theatre and the repeated suits brought in the courts under the civil rights law, despite which the management persists in its refusal to sell orchestra seats to Negroes, the irate editor sought to crawfish on his initial outburst by the reservation, "this must not be construed as an invitation to lawlessness, which we cannot afford to make and must not make." But he had already made it in his first paragraph, and if some hot headed reader had rushed off to apply a torch or throw a bomb, without waiting to read the third paragraph, he would not know until too late that the editor had displayed a saving sense of discretion, for his own safety.
While it is true that the Negro does not take to "black hand" tactics, that should be reason for rejoicing, rather than for a covert aneer. Such an article, labeled as "an editorial," is too much in the line of playing with fire. There are legal methods of dealing with the evils complained of, as the editor himself admitted in a suggestion made in his concluding paragraph.
Verbal fireworks are dangerous things to handle in hot July days.

Last week New York City was treated to another one of those periodical shakeups which are supposed to promote the efficiency of the police force of a great city. In this recent upheaval, which was stated to be based upon what Commissioner McLaughlin has learned about the force during the past six months, a number of commanding officers were transferred for the good of the service," such transfers involving in some cases promotion and in others a reduction of rank or pay, or both.
Among the changes that were noted with considerable satisfaction by the residents of Harlem, was the appointment of former Captain Mulrooney as Deputy Inspector in charge of the new eleventh inspection district in Brooklyn with headquarters at the Poplar Street Station house. When in charge of the West 135th street precinct, Captain Mulrooney made a commendable record in Harlem by his demanding good police work and his impartial treatment of the men of his precinct and the citizens to whom they afforded protection. A square deal was accorded all persons having contact with the police under his control. We are satisfied that the qualities he displayed in this precinct will prove him worthy of higher advancement, perhaps to a full Inspectorship, before his record is much longer.
It is the influence and example of officers of this type that warrants the rating of the New York policeman as "one of the finest."
HOWARD SECOND CHOICE
The declaration of Blake Geegy to no linquish the duties and responsibilities of the episcopate of the African Methodist Episcopal Church obliged the trustees of Howard University to make another selection of a candidate to fill the presidency. Their choice of Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson will probably evoke an equal amount of satisfaction to that greeted their first choice. Dr. Johnson's record from the point of academic training and scholastic ability is exceptionally high, and his experience in the ministry and other public service has been such as to prepare him for the position. There is every reason to believe that he will efficiently fulfill the duties of his new post.
This second selection by the University trustees emphasizes the new policy inaugurated, of electing a member of the race for whose benefit the institution was founded, as its executive head. Such a policy demands the utmost degree of cooperation from the trustees, the faculty, the students and the alumni, in order to give it a fair trial and ensure its success. The cooperation of all these elements is essential to the continged growth of the university and its performance of the important work of training future leaders of the race. No selfish ambitions nor petty differences of opinion should be allowed to interfere with the progress of that work.
Credit is given to Col. Theodore Roosevelt for his persistence in advocating the fitness and desirability of electing a qualified member of the Negro race as the president of Howard University. It is to his powerful influence with the other members of the board that its conversion to this new policy is to be attributed.
PROGRESS SEEN IN HAITI.
In view of the laudatory acknowledgment made by President Borno of the improvements brought about in Haiti under the American Occupation, it is well to have the testimony of an American visitor, whose cool and dispassionate style argues in favor of his freedom from bias or preconceived opinions. Dr. Melvin M. Knight, associate professor of history at Columbia University, who recently made an extended visit to the West Indies, interviewed members of various factions in Haiti, including President Borno, and also talked with the country people in the outlying districts. His conclusions were printed in the June number of Current History, under the heading of "Haiti's Progress Under American Protectorate."
Dr. Knight brushes aside all the legal quibbling as to Mr. Borno's eligibility for the Presidency, but admits that there is much to criticize in the administration of Haiti by American officials, "of whom the Borno government is little more than a catspaw." So far as constitutionality is concerned, it is asserted that the Americans in Haiti have covered their tracks extremely well. "If anybody is dictator it is not Louis Borno, but the American High Commissioner," concludes this penetrating visitor. Under this official is the combined General Receiver and Financial Adviser who collects and disburses the country's revenues, which amounted to some eight million dollars last year. This American office of the Receivership is run honestly and efficiently, according to Dr. Knight's observation, and he predicts that "the Haitians will not duplicate it in fifty years, probably never in that climate."
The only part of the Department of Agriculture which amounts to anything is said to be the expert service managed by Americans The Medical-Sanitary and Public Works Services are in charge of American naval officers, one an authority on tropical medicine and the other a competent engineer. The attempts to utilize Haitian doctors and engineers in these branches, it is alleged, is hampered by the scarcity of those really competent. The same reason is given for the lack of native officers in the constabulary This plea of Haitian inefficiency to run a complicated governmental machine is accepted by Dr. Knight as an indication that the protectorate which would continue under the present treaty until 1936, may be prolonged indefinitely.
The practical achievements of the American Occupation are summed up in the construction of better roads, the restoring of irrigation works, improved living conditions for the peasants healthier sports, legal marriage and the cessation of banditry. Dr Knight says. The government materially aids production encouragers thrift, fosters the kind of education which benefits the common man, and is making superhuman efforts to stop the ravages of epidemic and endemic disease which had previously caused untold misery." He admits that the only answer to the charge that the American Government entered Haiti by force and suppressed the existing government is that the need and results have justified the means. In other words, it is claimed that the American Occupation has done more to promote the progress of the common people, the peasants who constitute the bulk of the inhabitants, than their native rulers, the upper
class Haitians and some in the presidential territory of the presidential state of the republic. The Haitian answer to this is that, even if a Haitian should be ten times as bad, he is at least a Haitian, and it is his country." Walle Haldi has been nominally a republic, the system of representative government fell short of actuality, because as President Borno once said, there was no popular, conscious suffrage. The rural population, numbering nine-tenths of the nation, is almost wholly illiterate, ignorant and poor. Its members were exploited in the past by the upper classes as they are now exploited by the Americans.
The chief offending of the American Occupation at the present time, in the eyes of Dr. Knight, is in the matter of good taste in the exhibition of color prejudice. He advises the avoidance of such expressions as "niggers" and "one jump from a limb." The sort of American sent to govern Haiti may be judged from this comment of a fair but friendly critic. It needs a higher grade of American culture to bring about real progress in Haiti, based upon sympathetic understanding of the people and their needs.
EDITOR DABNEY GIVES A HARD
LESSON.
Editor Wendell P. Dabney of the Cincinnati Union, whose recent book, "Cincinnati's Colored Citizens," has aroused considerable comment, wrote a remarkable article for this paper a few weeks ago. It was so original and outspoken as to warrant its reproduction, because of the light in which it illustrated that much discussed theme of race loyalty. It was headed "Crucified Himself to Save His Race." It follows:
Editor Wendell P. Dabney of the Cincinnati Union, whose recent book, "Cincinnati's Colored Citizens," has aroused considerable comment, wrote a remarkable article for this paper a few weeks ago. It was so original and outspoken as to warrant its reproduction, because of the light in which it illustrated that much discussed theme of race loyalty. It was headed "Crucified Himself to Save His Race." It follows:
A Jew of this city, who came from the "Old Country" not many years ago, had by the economy and thrift an characteristic of his people, acquired some property and quite an amount of money. Proud of his progress, he began to grow "a big head." Pride increased by leaps and bounds as the days were gathered to their fathers. Looked up to by his downtown neighbors, envied for his success, the future seemed golden. He moved to a more aristocratic neighborhood. He soon put in an application to join an association almost entirely composed of Gentiles. Recently in conversation with a prominent newspaper man of this city, he told this story
"A day or two after I put in my application to join that lodge, a Jewish business man came to me and said, 'Joseph, I wish you withdraw your application'
"Why, said I"
"Because there is already too much prejudice against the Jews and yids is so ignorant you will make it more yet. We Jews hate to be careful not to arouse any more antagonism. It hurts us"
"But," said I, "haven't I got more money and clothes and furniture and property than many of those fellows who belong to it already?"
"Yes, you have, but you haven't got the knowledge of their habits and customs and clauses. So you will be the cause of their reduculing all us Jews because of your mistakes. They will us Jews because of their uncouth loud, noisy, boastful and offensive, they will say the Jews are so."
"I felt like knocking him down" I felt like killing him! I turned my back and walked away. The next day I went to see him. I said "Yob are night, Meyer I withdraw my application. The good name of my race is worth more to me than anything else in this whole world!" Ah, that was nobility For heroism, we know of no case to equal the sacrifice of personal pride this man made. He crucified his own aims, ends, desires, ambitions and courage to charge the foe amid noise of battle, midst shock of shell mudst carriage of modern warfare! Physical courage is far inferior to moral courage
Somehow, when we heard the story, tears almost came. We enwired the mobility of that Jew. We thought of that other Jew, Jasus. We no longer wondered at the marvelous product his race has made! The part that the Negro has played and is playing arose before me. I saw the proud Ethiopian and his days of glory: King Tut and his group gathered and scattered by the winds of fate. Africa, now torn with dissensions and divided up among the white races of the world, while the blacks over there, like the blacks over here are clawing at each others' throats in deadly combat. The white man helps himself, the Negro waits on God. We talk race pride, we boast of loyalty, but actions show that few of us have either the one or the other. Suppose some crude uncount Negro, fresh from the jungles of the South or the bad lands of our city, was advised by a more cultured representative of the race not to intrude in some gathering composed of first class white people. The chances arousing more prejudice against him the advice would soon have been on his way to the hospital or morgue. But if the crude child of nature did not resort to personal violence, this would have been his reply. My money is just as good as your money or anybody else money and I am just as good as you or anybody else. What do I care what those go white folks think? They aren't no better in I am.
When we get to the point of doing as that lew did then we have gotten to the essence of race loyalty. Its class rather than color that forms the basis of the white man's objection. When we learn to realize this then we have gone far towards seeming conditions and overcoming the prejudice that causes suffering to so many worthy people.
Editor Dahney has uncovered a sore spot in the process of racial evolution. The lesson of self-sacrifice which he so strikingly illustrated is most difficult to instill where it is most needed. But that the essence of race loyalty is to be found in self-sacrifice cannot be denied. The lesson conveyed in this article is well worth study and reflection.

In New Jersey the primary proposition was supported by the follower of National Committee Kean and ex-Senator Frelinghuysen. It was opposed by the faction led by ex-Governor Stokes and Senator Edge, both of whom favor the convention system. This latter method gives power to a small group to name the party nominees, whereas the
Discussing the question of race leadership, the American Baptist of Louisville, Ky., said:
There was a time when Douglas, Langaton, Perry, Garnett, William Price, Bruce, Pitchback and others that we might mention, were really leaders of the race, and their opinions and advice would be heeded and respected by members of the race in every section, but that condition has been quietly undergoing a change and the general sentiment of the race at the present time is averse to this character of leadership. This is due largely to the fact that educational, professional and church organizations, both state and national, fraternal organizations, financial and commercial organizations have developed a new character of leadership and the leaders of these enterprises now lead the people in ever phase of life and there are none who have the power and influence to lead the people as such. Booker T. Washin' came nearer to being what has been termed the leader of the people than any one, man since the days of the pioneer leaders who were developed soon after the franchise was given to our people.
The mere ambition to lead and the disposition to criticize offer but little encouragement for constructive achievement.
Is Colored New York Using Its Educational Opportunities?
Editor of The New York Age
In a recent issue of the Amsterdam News I observed a news item headed, "Harlem Favorably Represented in Graduating Classes in High Schools" In the writer's opinion, it might have read, "Harlem Poorly Represented in Graduating Classes in High Schools" The article gave the number of colored students finishing from several o the local schools. Among them were DeWitt Clinton, Boys High and Wadleigh Girls High. The total number from the girls' high was not given but the number colored appeared to be a girl's indication. However, the number from DeWitt Clinton was given as being 642. Eight of this number were colored, which is little more than one per cent.
The colored population of New York is estimated at 225,000) was 155,000 in 1920, last census taken! This number is 3.5 per cent, of the total population. let we have little more than 1 per cent of the number finishing high school. How can they say we are favorably represented? By allowing such small numbers, we are not keeping pace intellectually with the other races. We are far from it.
Every condition has its cause. Some may say that such conditions are caused by the great struggle for existence in New York City. This struggle is keen, to be sure, but despite this fact New York offers opportunities to ambitious youths that are equalled by few, if any, other city in America. First, an individual of garage ability can go from kindergarten through college without paying tuition. Second, thousands of half-time jobs are obtainable which any school boy can hold himself or parents. If needed Many do work and keep up with their class work. If these can, why cannot others? In attempting to give a reason for such conditions, the following may be given (1) The love of fine dress, (2) Gravying for a big time, (3) Lack of encouragement on part of many parents.
Harlem has the greatest concentration of Negroes in America. The world is looking to us to contribute largely to the economic, intellectual social and religious progress of the Negro and America. If we are to do this we must see the impact these numbers, our local high schools and colleges are increased, as the future contributions are to come from their numbers. Awake Harlemites, and take advantage of the opportunities your city offers you.
Are The Southern States Fair To Working Classes?

The Virginia Legislature, during session of 1924, passed a law known as the "Emigrant Agent Act" This act or law was said to have been copied after the Geographic law. The term "Emigrant Agent" contemplated in this act—under the Virginia law above mentioned—shall, the law says, "Be construed to mean any person engaged in the hiring of laborers or solitary emigrants in this State to be employed beyond the limits of this State" Any person doing the above in Virginia be
primary system gives all the votes a chance to express themselves.
We are glad to see that ex-Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen is allied with the movement to give the people opportunity to express themselves in making nominations for office. It confirms our opinion as to the sterling qualities he manifested while in the Senate. If he should again be a candidate for that position, we feel sure that he is big enough and broad enough to represent the people of New Jersey without bias as to creed or color.
The meeting of the Baptist Young People's Councils, recently held in Brooklyn, may or may not have justified the fears, expressed by the National Baptist Voice of Nashville, that politics played too great a part in the organization. It recommended:
Make it—the Baptist Young People's Congress—purely and simply a Religious Training School of the Best Methods for preparing Baptist young men and women leadership for effective Sunday-school and B. Y. P. U., and Missionary, Home and Foreign, service among the vast masses of Baptist young men, women and children of our great denomination—a denomination of an approximately but inaccurately counted numbers.
This training school movement was inaugurated for the benefit of numbers of young people and not to be an organization to inspire a scramble for the presidential chair as an actual condition or experience is too sadly teaching us today. Right now the wisdom of experience is suggesting and even dictating the remedy to offset a political campaigning struggle for the presidency of the unnecessary part of this dual organization.
Politics appears to be an inherent part in all American institutions, wheth-
fore paying five thousand dollars "Shall be guilty of a musdemanor" and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $5,000, or may be imprisoned in jail not less than one month nor more than twelve months for each and every offence. The law then goes ahead and makes the following exceptions. The provisions of this act shall not apply to Virginia contractors temporarily engaged on contracts in other states, when themselves employing labor for their own work. The law then says again that the provisions of this act shall apply to representatives of the organizations within State of Virginia, in cases where, because of need of employment, they may direct their members to employment in other states of the Union.
Now you see Virginia has built a wall around its border, defying users of labor of other sister states to come over after her labor to work in their state unless $5,000 is paid. She is also waiting in her laborer. The laborer in Virginia must get out if they can and in any way they can, to go seek the opportunities offered in sister states of the Union, or be coached with whatever may be offered and they can get in Virginia or the South and be satisfied with the general conditions in the State and South as they exist.
That's the situation this law has brought about. This law was passed to hold the Negro in Virginia and the South. Why? Was it for the Negro man's present and future good, or self interest to some one? This law will and does also affect the white man and woman willing and ready to consider opportunities of our society states. The writer has been dealing with white and Negro working men for 20 years. During that period he has talked to one hundred thousand Negro men from Virginia and from every state as far south as you can go. They have come to Richmond in all conditions, have plenty clothes to wear dressed. They have come from the far south in hope to better their conditions. They have come scared to death—scared to talk—looking like wild man having escaped from a turpentine camp, a farm or lumber camp, stole away. Couldn't have gotten away, so they stated, if they hadn't stole away.
The Negro deserves credit. He gets very small waes here and in the South. The average Negro looks well and cares for himself well out of the little he gets. He should be free to go where he can better his condition. Give him the opportunity to try 100 per cent of the laboring people in Virginia and the south are utterly opposed to such legislation. Such Legislation renders such laborers working class. Why not let the laborers decide for himself to go or stay? I have fought such legislation for the last three years.

Dixie Beauty News is a weekly four page sheet of an advertising acter, published by Dixie L. Larson Inc. at Cincinnati. Mrs Dixie Dex who undertakes to solve a problem of the heart and home, does following tringle.
Dear Mrs. Dixie. I am deep in love with a man of twenty five worried beast use he does not want to my deep affections. He is highly worker; can do the Charleson wonderfully and is very popular. He is my attentive to me until a month ago. I introduced him to my girlfriend and since that time he has been at home up and invited her to two times. I am afraid I am gone; to lose
You should worry, dearie. If no questions are so insistent that he warers between you and your girlfriend it is not worth while dominating your bright eyes - ever him. Just be a pleasant as you can and do not let the mind that you are thinking of his attention He will come back to you if he asks you.
Mrs. Dixie is evidently not the sob sister sorority. We would not be surprised if her hair at her skirts were abbreviated and her sustenance in the frust of the plant. Her advice is up to the mime although it failed to include a warning against the predatory girlfriend.
The Weekly, Progress, published at Muskegee, Oklahoma, has a noticeary ray of striking advertisements for small sized paper. Among its other titles is the First: National Bank or Boole, which claims it distracts by being the first national bank established by Negroes in the United States. On the first page Congressman Eli Thomas announced his candidacy United States Senator, in which he said
I am not the agent or representative of any interest, group or class and a evidence of this fact. I state that no person or interest has ever combined a dollar to a campaign fund for me, I have no campaign fund for my salary and my savings. The ad vertisement is paid for by myself and I am nominated and elected. I will ask your representative without objection to any person or interest because of contributions to a campaign fund or otherwise.
T is in strong contrast to the Seminator campaig in Pennsylvania in which some three million dollars were reported as spent in behalf of the candidates for the Republican nomination.
The St.Paul Echo, in retiring to the sale of Minnesota school and pronounced it a sound investment, it said.
At the present time a public sale of school lands is being held by the state and the terms offered are in every sense an inducement for the man with money to invest, a safe buy.
Under the system which is being used, there is no chance for the unscrupulous intervention of any middleman, and the guarantees which are made by the state are sufficiently sure that there need be no question about the wisdom of such an investment.
Recently, the state auditor sent some tax data to the farmers showing how their money was being spent and how expenditure for taxes might be curtailed. It might be a wise point for the man in the city to acquire land in northern Minnesota twofold reason that he himself is gaining and making money by action, and that more, he will be aming the farmers of the region.
This emphasizes the fact that times when public lands were open to officers at nominal now a thing of the past. Public lands of the West have been propriated by private, or terests and the intending buy from them. The opp buy direct from the state.

Rush Memorial Church
Junior Church was opened at 10 a.m. by Dr. Oliver. The services were in keeping with the day. "Show your colors" Psalm 60:4. Most naturally we think of patriotic things on a day like this so Dr. Oliver used this subject but applied to the Christian idea on lines. The children their regular communion service before they went upstairs to take part in the 11 o'clock service.
In spite of the celebration with fireworks all around the church the services began on time and Dr. Oliver took his text "Good News" subject, "The presence of the Lord is upon me he has directed me to preach the gospel." The speaker brought to our attention that the first four chapters in the New Testament are about the gospel and the gospel as well. "Good News" Ministers could make themselves feel different at times if they would think of themselves as ministers of good news instead of ministers of the gospel.
Two new members joined our church this morning Mrs. Tarlton, of Savannah Ga. and Mr. Starkie Chamberble of Virginia.
$21.08 was raised for Miss Charity Jontz.
The Junior Church was out in full at the morning worship the soloists were Mrs. Dorothy V May—"Just Beyond," and Master William Bodkin—"Peace I leave with You." Both of the soloists sang well and have very promising voices.
The choir as a whole is progressing rapidly under the direction of Mr. Helen Walters and our slogan is to have a junior choir that will be a credit to our connection. At 1 o'clock Sunday school was opened by the superintendent E C. Holman.

Mother Zion Church
Notwithstanding that a goodly number of the members of Mother Zion Church were away last Sunday, a large audience worshipped both at the morning and evening services. Dr Brown was the preacher "His sermon subject at 11 a.m., was 'Christ and Our National Life.' The speaker said in part. On this One Hundred and Fifteenth Birthday of the Nation, we will hear much about America's progress, her opportunity, her wealth (what about her future)—but is not there grave danger of America losing her conscience? There is a growing tendency to guard the laws of the land their enforcement. Are not they saying by their ways and actions that the Government shall not be 'govermind,' and the "Law shall not be law"? In this spirit we not only have attacks made upon the government, but upon God, liberty, life, property, the home, the caste, and the Christianity of every citizen under the government.
"They tell us that our national ideals are freedom, security, and altruism. We all of our citizens enjoy the fruits of these ideals. Many of America's citizens are still in bondage. Illegal civil restrictions, notwithstanding. Our fathers brought forth upon this continent, a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. What does independence in America mean today to the Negro disfranchisement, industrial autocracy, inadequate wages, unwholesome and dangerous working conditions, unanticipated living conditions, denial of educational opportunities, civil rights and protection. Yes. I repeat that the American conscience must be educated and christianized. It must come back to this Old Book that teaches the human coexistence and the will of man. It must be put in every home, every school, and preached from every pulpit for right unless alone exalted by Nation."
At the close of his discourse eight persons were received into the church. Dr. Brown was the preacher to the Junior Church congregation. His sermon subject, "Our Nation's Birthday." Baptism and holy communion were administered. Sunday school was largely attended at 2 p.m. Final arrangements were made for the annual picnic to Pelham Bay Park on Thursday.

Thursday, July 29, annual steamboat excursion to Bear Mountain.
St Paul Baptist Church
The summer weather is now upon us, and having its effects. While our mid-week services are fairly well attended, they are not as largely attended as we desire. Yet, all things considered we have no right to complain. Our people are as loyal as any we have met with, and, we know from the past that every thing will come out alright.
Our B. Y P U. and prayer services were conducted as usual, with the regular leaders taking charge. The choir has decided to use only the small books, known as Gospel Pearls during the summer season, and, at both services their singing was inspiring.
At 11 a. m. we had to worship with us Rev. Wm. Horton, of Athens, Ga., who remained over from the Congress. The pastor engaged him to preach in the evening, and he promised to do so, but, evidently was detained in L. I., whither he went to relatives.
The pastor preached at 11 a.m on "Early Morning Prayer," pointing

that Jesus is the child of a example that he went out. From his inside, early in the morning and in midday, plague the He might be belon to the most official prayer is that the most official prayer is that the made in company with others, but that which is prayed when alone. The Sunday school held its session at 9:30 a.m. and, consequently, there was no afternoon session. After the morning service, however, the superintendent called the Teachers together, and arranged for the annual outing to Indian Park, on the historic Hudson River. In the evening, after opening the service, the pastor 'led in singing, hoping thereby to give time for the preacher to put in his appearance, but the preacher also got preached on. "The Church's Da O'Malley but that it also has a remedy, and that when this remedy is applied, there always follows good effects.

Grace Church of Harlem
The 150th anniversary of American Independence was referred to in the opening remarks of the pastor, Rev. A. C. Garner, at the service at 11 a.m. last Sunday morning. The pastor emphasized the glory of independence, but stressed the great fact that independence is not yet complete nor is it synonymous with freedom. He then discussed the theme "The Intercession of Moses for his people." Ex 32.7, 11 and the theme tho on the 4th of July had to fit the Church program. There were short addresses made by a representative of Miss Savage, the student sculptor who is preparing for further study in Paris. Her friends are giving a benefit concert of high calibre on Friday night at Grace Church. The trustees have granted church for this concert as a compliment to Miss Savage the league was represented by Mrs. Frye and made a felicitous statement concerning the work of the League and our duty to it. The congregation responded to her appeal with an offering

The plan for the fall rally was thrown on the Church wall last Sunday and $2,000 was subscribed. The pastor asks for $5,000 on the church debt. If successful it will total $11,000, paid in the $5,000 property. The officers give much credit to the pastor. The pastor in turn compliments his officers, who ever deserves the lions share of the credit, we can truthfully say that the financial management of Grace Church has been a credit to the Congregationalists of New York and Dr. Garnet is the right man in the right place. The Ladies Aid Society presented the trustees an offering for the current expenses, about $25. Mrs. Perle Bean is president, Mrs. M. F. Hepler made the presentation.
First Emmanuel Church
At the 11 o'clock service Sunday,
Pastor Bolden preached from the
text: "Though he were a Son, yet
learned he obedience by the things
which he suffered; And being made
perfect, he became the author of
eternal salvation unto all them that
obey him; 'Hebrews 5: 89, Theme:
'The highest conception of education
is strict obedience to the law of God.
tor Boldens sermon were as follows: "The writer of this chapter emphasizes the priesthood of Jesus rather than his kingship. My idea of the highest conception of education is not an education of retentive memory, or not an outside education, such as gained' in public schools, but an education of knowing ones mission in life and fitting ones self for that mission. Education is the highest form of play. Jesus at 12 years of age disputes with the doctors and lawyers in the temple. He received his words of wisdom from his Father God. He understood life, because He was life. Jesus went to the school of feeling. He followed the vibrations of harmony. Jesus learned obedience by the things which he suffered'.
People to-day become educated through suffering. You pay a dear sacrifice to Jesus. Human life is a great school with destructive forces as well a constructive forces. All the things in government all movements of helpfulness in the world is to make people more perfect. Study to become perfect.
Never release one inharmonious vibration Study to vibrate in harmony with the cosmic mind, and through suffering you will become perfect Through suffering and death the Emmanuel becomes the author of eternal salvation
In the evening Pastor Bolden had讲 He Walter Wooding of Cape Town Africa wrote the man assembled He gave a very interesting talk He also played a beautiful piano selection, which was very uplifting
The dinner was served during the day by the members of the Life, Liberty and Happiness Society

Union Bethel Church No. 2
Sunday, July 4 being Independence Day, the men of Union Bittel A. M. E. Church, No. 2 Buffalo avenue and Dean street, Brooklyn, under auspices of the Board of Trustees, held a Men's Day program. Because of the keen rivalry manifested between the men and women of this church, the men unanimously decided to keep their program 4 secret from their church sisters. Learning of the men's plan, the women immediately organized themselves in an effort to penetrate the fortress of the men's plans, but with all their Delahlianunning they were no wiser in the end of the beginning. It was a long journey. The men the church had as their guests the Rev. Dr. L. Robinson, editor and manager of the A. M. E. Review and of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia, and his wife, his son, the Rev. Douglas I. T. Robinson, and Miss Stewart a school teacher from Ohio.
Dr Robinson took as his text Philippians 4. 13. "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." He said that one of the greatest things he told today of not D D's and B D's, but "C G's S" (Christian Gentlemen). "When this is done half of the troubles in the Christian Church will be solved.
L. D. Kolodion preached from Solomon
$110.
At 8 p. m. the day, the Rev. R. H.
D. Lowry, preached and three posts
were added to the church during the
day.
The singing, by the male voices, under direction of A. S. Bannister, and William Miller, organist, was inspiring and helpful. The pastor thanked Messrs. Lockett, Smith Allen and others for the success of the day's program.
Bridge St. A. M. E. Church
"Some Implications of the Christian Life" was the theme of the pastor, Dr. Edward E. Tyler, at the morning hour of worship. The text, was St. Matthew, 16:23, Dr. Tyler said among other things, "Our Christian life figuratively calls for us to go up to Jerusalem just as Jesus did, but the average human tendency is to avoid Jerusalem. It would be a wonderful thing. The families of the earth had the divinity of Jesus, the world would be a better place in which to live. It is not God's fault that we are not Godlike. The only way to become Godlike is to have the desire.
The following persons, joined the Church; M. I. Corpsew, 1639 Berg street; Gertrude Clinton; 8% Utica avenue; Elizabeth Williams, Sheepshead Bay, and Mary Bailey, 769 St. Marks avenue.
The Junior Church services were held prior to the regular services. The pastor spoke to the young people the subject. The Stone in the Road message was plaired, yet inspiring to them.
The Rev. M. A. Hunter, of Columbus, Tennessee, was the attraction at the evening services. He delivered a very helpful message. His topic was "The Call of the Gailane Fishermen The Teacher of the Church." Sunday, July 18, is the day for the first installment of the King and Queen Rally, for $5,000. This financial effort on the part of the church is to aid the trustees to meet a very pressing obligation that is due to the renovation of the church-house.
The Bible Vacation School opened with a large attendance on July 6. Mrs. G. V. Lundy is in charge. She is assisted by a splendid corps of teachers. The Sunday school is planning to hold its annual outing at Polham Bay Park on July 29. "The Ten Commandments" a stereo-opton view, will be given at the church July 15. A musical and dramatic concert will also be given. Among the visitors at the services were William Blount, of Wilmington, N. C. Mr. and Mrs. Clinton of Jacksonville, Fla. and Mrs. Ella Whiting

The First Installment of a Series In Which Present Day Boxers and Their Managers Will Be Discussed, With Making Of Expert Comparisons
When 100,000 people paid over a million dollars to see the "hoax of the century"—the Dempsey-Carpentier fight for the heavyweight championship of the world—fortune hunters all over America turned their attention to the fight game as fortune hunters of '49 had turned their eyes toward California. A hunt was started for a heavyweight who could beat Dempsey, or at least one who could fight him.

"Club Alabam
Revue"
AT THE
SAVOY
World's Finest Ballroom
Lenox Avenue, 140-141st Street
All the white hopes who were discovered including Luis Firpo and Floyd Johnson, proved to be failures insofar as championship material was concerned Since no good white fighters appeared on the horizon, the hunters turned their attention to the colored fighters. They had heard about Harry Wills, Kid Norfok, Jamaica Kid, and other good colored heavyweights, but all these fighters were under contract to some one
Jack Johnson Called On
Some of these men met Jack Johnson when he came out of prison in 1922 and knowing him to be a good judge of fighters, asked that he let them know when he discovered a likely colored boj
Johnson was sicking a sparring partner for a vaudeville act he was to open in at the Laiayette Theatre. He spoke to his friend, Dr Frank C. Caffey, and Dr Caffey, told him of a young fellow, Feab Smith Williams, of Mobile, Ala, whom he had been training in Montgomery.
Dr Caffey had picked up Williams when the boy was 16 or 17 years of age at a time when Williams was working at a boiler factory in Montgomery Williams had heard how Dr Caffey had trained "Big Bill" Tate and gotten him a job as sparring partner and trainer for Jack Dempsey, while Dempsey was preparing to fight Jess Willard for the heavyweight title. So Williams decided he wanted to become a boxer and asked Dr Caffey to train him.
Renaming "George Godfrey"
Impressed by his size and physical equipment, Dr. Calfey began training Williams. First he taught him how to protect the head by having him get on all fours, and then the doctor's swing son would try and hit him. At first young Frank could hit Williams head, but after a little while Williams could duck so well, the boy could not lay a glove on him. He was then taught to use his left hand to protect himself. His first lesson in this direction was to have his right hand strapped behind him and then try and keep tour boys 14 years of age from hitting him. To protect himself he had to block eight skates. Williams proved an apt pupil and Dr. Calfey was impressed with him he decided to rename him, after the first recognized colored heavyweight champion, George Godfrey (Old Chocolate.)
Makes A 10 Year Contract
Remembering his experience with Tate of having trained him and gotten him a job only to have another manager put him under contract, Dr Caffrey decided to place Godfrey under a ten year contract. He secured the service of Attorney Hill, later congressman from Montgomery, to draw up this contract. Then Dr Caffrey moved to New York. He has an opportunity for Godfrey to learn more of the boxing
game through his connection with Jack Johnson, so he readily agreed to have him go into Johnson's act. It was not long before Johnson also realized that Godfrey was a really able fighter. He told Kearns and James Dougherty of Pennsylvania that he had a real good boy whom he would sell them for $1,000.
Tried To Sidetrack Caffey
Although Godfrey told Dougherty he had signed a contract with Dr Caffey, a colored man, the "Baron of Leiperville," as Dougherty is known, scoffed at the idea of Caffey's contract holding water Jack Johnson stated he held the contract for Godfrey's service and got $500 cash, with a promise of the other $500. Godfrey continued to work with Johnson, and one day, while training at Grupp's Gymnasium, an incident occurred which at once brought Godfrey before the public Wills had knocked out Tut Jackson, and had been signed to meet Clem Johnson. William Muldoon then head of the Boxing committment, and several sport writers had expressed the opinion that Johnson was another set-up. In order to test him it was suggested that some other good heavyweight be allowed to box four rounds with Johnson in the gymnasium Jack Johnson stepped forward and said he had a man who could beat either Clem Johnson or Harry Wills.
Godfrey Was "White Shy"
Grupps was packed the afternoon Johnson was given the test Leo P Flynn, Clem Johnson's manager was fearful that Clem would not show up so well and he had Godfrey box four rounds with Jack Renault before going on with Johnson. At that time Godfrey was what Dr Caffey calls "white-shy". All his life in the South he had been told never to hit a white man, if he did he would be lynched. Hence when he entered the ring against his first white opponent, he appeared quite timid. He managed to go four rounds, however, but when he faced Clem Johnson, the spectators noted an entirely different boxer. He almost knocked Johnson out in those four rounds, and Flynn had to do some pleading in order to have the Wills-Johnson bout go on. And Johnson managed to last twelve rounds against Wills at Madison Square Garden.
In the meantime, Godfrey had so impressed himself on the sport writers that he was able to make his Metropolitan debut against Jack Renault.
He was beaten, but in a return bout in California two years later he all but knocked Renault out.

Eastern Colored League
The Lincoln Giants continued their heavy batting the past week-end and won three games on Sunday and Monday. The fourth game, with Harrowgate of Philadelphia on Monday, was stopped by agreement at the end of the ninth inning with the score standing 10-10.
On Sunday the Lincoln's won a double header from the strong Camden Club. In the first game they were victorious by a score of 9-1 and in the other they came from behind with a batting rally in the sixth and ninth innings which gave them a 12-11 victory. Manager "Pop" Lloyd was responsible for four of the Lincoln's runs during the second game. He hit a homer over the right field fence when the bases were filled. In the second game on Monday the Lincoln's defeated Plainfield 4-1.
The local team will return to its League schedule this Sunday when it will face the Baltimore Black Sox in a double header. This is Baltimore's first appearance in New York this season.
Hilldale Wins Two Games From Black Sox; Take 4th Place
Philadelphia, Pa.—Ben Taylor and his Baltimore Black Sox ran headlong into a snag when they tackled Hilkdale in two games here on July 1 and 3. In the first game "Bullet" Campbell kept the Baltimore hits so well scattered they were able to score only 2 runs, while Hilkdale scored 7. Aside from baffling the Black Sox with his curves, Campbell cracked out a triple, in the second inning when two men were on bases. Force and McClure did the pitching for Baltimore.
In the second game on Saturday Baltimore was given their worst lacing this season. They were beaten by a score of 17-5. Baltimore treated the fans to a parade of pitchers—four of their hurlers being trotted out. Hilkdale batters, who have been in the thores of a slump, snapped out of it and plastered the combined offerings of Yokel, McClure, Force and Bowers for sixteen hits.
Phil Cockrell pitched for Hilldale and blanked the visitors until the last inning. In the ninth he lost some of hisunning and this with an error by Warfield paved the way for a batting rally, which gave the visitors five runs. Thursday's victory placed Hilldale ahead of Baltimore in the Eastern League race.
Newark Stars Disband
The Newark Stars, organized at the beginning of this season by Andy Harris have "given up the ghost," as teast for the remainder of this season. From the first week this team met with all kinds of handcaps and reverses. It's backers, who also owned the Newark Bears of the International League, went into voluntary bankruptcy two months ago and for several weeks the receiver for the teams has refused to spend any money on the Newark Stars. Lack of money to pay salaries is said to have caused several members of the team to quit even before the project was finally abandoned. Manager Harris made a valiant effort to secure other financial backers but was unsuccessful.
All players on the Newark roster will be distributed among the other teams of the Eastern Colored League. The Ion coins have already secured Tom Gee and Gentaner, catcher and pitcher, and will probably get one or two more former Stars.
"A Social Celebrity" At The Lincoln Theatre
New York's most popular musical comedies were combed in a search for the peppest Charleston steppers to appear in Adolph Menjou's latest Paramount picture, "A Social Celebrity" which comes to the Lancôme on Thursday. The star and his director, Mal St Clair made the rounds of the girl and dance attractions in current on Broadway and as every musical comedy worthy of the name presents a Charleston number, the seakers spent a busy evening covering the plays on their schedule. They visited six theatres re-maining only long enough to witness the mad jazz danced to the blare of saxophones and horns before continuing to the next show on their list.
Menjou reports that the popularity of the dance shows no signs of waning. The audience never seemed to get enough of it applauding enthusiastically and always demanding more. There were solo harleystones, ensemble numbers and endless encounters until the explorers felt they were swimming in a sea of flashing skken legs and resentless arms. They had seen so many intriguing versions of the dance it was difficult to make a choice. In the comparative peace of the studio next morning how ever the sar and director were able to sort out their impressions.
Nineteen girls culled from the chorus of Captain Jinks' a longrun musical attraction that owes a large measure of its success to its lively dance numbers made their screen debake in the film. Louse Brooks, who distinguished herself as a dancer in *Louise the 14th* before she went on to escreent, gave the race a race for honors in the speed and agility with which she set the pace

DeHART HUBBARD BREAKS A. A. U. RECORD
RUNNING BROAD JUMP; SENIOR TRACK MEET
DeHart Hubbard, former University of Michigan athlete, now running under the colors of the Century A. C. of New York, shattered another record in the running broad jump event of the fifty-first annual senior track, and field championships of the Amateur Athletic Union. The meet was held in the new Municipal Stadium on the Sasqui-Centennial Exposition grounds in Philadelphia on Independence Day.
Club Alabama Revue
At Savoy Ball Room
Again the Savoy blares the announcement of the appearance of the entire Revue to take place next night, July 14.
Hubbard took one leap in the broad jump event and that was enough to shatter the six-year old mark of 24 feet 8 inches made by Sol Butler and equaled by Ned Gourdin. The Cincinnati athlete jumped 25 feet 2 1-2 inches. The occasion was the fifth year that Hubbard has won the national broad jump title. His first year at the University of Michigan he captured the national broad jump title from Ned Gourdin, then the holder of the world's broad jump record.
Since that time Hubbard has broken all records ever held for this event. He is now the holder of the world, the intercollegiate and the senior A coach and would not enter the meet. A. U. records for this event. He is considered by experts the most remarkable athlete now in competition. Shortly after his broad jump on Monday, Hubbard went into the finals of the 100-yard dash and finished third to Charley Borah of the University of Southern California and Jackson Scholz of the New York A. C. Cooke College, of Syracuse University and the Salem Crescent Club, did not defend his 440-yard title at this meet. He took the advice of the Syracuse coach and would not enter the meet. Cooke is said to have been advised by his coach not to compete in any athletic event this summer, least he go stale. Big things are expected of him in inter-collegiate competition next season.
Among other colored athletes who did compete were: Ned Gourdin, former star athlete of Harvard University and once holder of the world's broad jump record; Kenneth Webican, Ardian Buckner and Orthel Roberts of the Century A. C. of New York.
