Gregthal's Fine Record. Asmanianian Grenhal is a familiar name in the business world, but two decades ago the 19th D.D. reiterated alive. His appointed ability has made him an outstanding figure in party councils, and he has won the love and devotion of the great voting body by his unselfish and unlimited application of his ability and influence in their behalf. He has also served as a military service to his constituents in the master of protecting their interests against grasping and rapacious landlords, and the Grenhal Housing Bill, which passed the Lower House but was killed in the Senate, embodied the most beneficial and effective remedies yet offered in solving the present housing situation. Mr. Grenhal also reintroduced the Billts' bill providing for a readjustment of Macau districts, the enactment of which would have made possible the election of a Negro to the judiciary, which bill was defeated in the last Assembly An unarmed colored man, after forcing August Ehler, superintendent of an apartment house at 49 Clarkson avenue to hand over $483 in cash and $328 in checks, rent money. Monday night, August 3, locked Ehler in a telephone booth and made his escape, according to the story he told the police. Ehler had finished collecting the rents from some of the forty-seven tenants when he descended from the first floor to an open courtyard. The man stepped suddenly from the telephone booth, which is large enough to hold five persons showed Ehler inside and stepped in with him. "Gimme what you got," he is quoted as saying, "I took the money and checks, but returned Ehler's watch, because it was not valuable. The man locked the booth door and disaffirmed Ehler telephone police with change left in his pocket, and then called his wife, Margaret, who released him.

British Women Satisfied With Their Black Hubbies Efforts by certain offenders correspond to ascertain why women in British seaports so frequently marry cofeddied men employed on the British merchant ships, were productive of the information that these women are perfectly happy in their choice, and that they make better husbands than do the white men. When asked about the children, one mother of three, each a different complexion from the others, naively inquired, "Why, what of them? There are so many nobody thinks about it. They won't hate you." NEW YORK ELKS IN HARMONY WITH ALL WORKING TOGETHER To Cleveland, Determined To Bring 1927 Grand Lodge Back To New York If there is substance in the latest reports that concern the activities of the "Hello, BILLS" of New York City, the four large and influential lodges of Greater New York have gotten together and will present a united from when the Cleveland grand lodge session is called to order, the influence and efforts of the delegation directed to the goal—that of bringing the 1927 season (the 29th) to the country's greatest metropolis. That the reports do have a substantial basis is attested by Robert P. Braddicks, chairman of the New York State delegation, who has issued a statement telling of the harmony and tion that now prevail among the four New York lodge associations in New York. New York, No.231, this condition following upon a conciliation meeting called by Mr. Braddicks at Imperial Hall on Friday night, August 6, at which meeting all differences were adjusted and personal aspirations and private quarrels laid aside. The New Yorkers will have no favorite candidates for grand eruler or for any other of the grand lodge offices. Only one will be appointed. In 1927, only everything will be subordinated to the accomplishment of that object. In discussing the situation, Mr. Braddicks said. The World's Greatest City These members of the Imperial League of the World who live in New York tell that there should be, no trouble in getting the 1927 convention here. The organization already formed has done much ground work and have secured letters from Mayor Walker, the Borough President, Police Commissioner, and other prominent citizens endorsing the coming of the grand lodge session to New York next year. In addition, they are in a position to assure their brothers and sisters throughout the world that when the time for the holding of the session comes, there will be no possible legal barricades against them. In addition, Greater New York will be among those who will extend a hearty welcome to the order. "Where, ask the New York members, is there another city so qualified as New York? It has more Irishmen in it than any city in Ireland, more Italianes than any city in Italy, more Jews than can be found in any country, more immigrants than any city in America, and surpassed in its colored currency by but one city in Africa. Ideal Convention City The commingling of all these racial forces has tended to submerge hatreds, caste proscriptions and religious bigotry, producing in Greater New York the highest freedom and absence from race prejudice found in any large city of the American continent. "It is the ideal convention city with unmatched transit facilities, halls, and churches, wonder stores, beautiful parks. In addition, New York lays one more and very good claim to the 1927 convention, it has more members of the order than any other city of the country, therefore warranties accommodations and seldonid living quarters and its population is located in one of the most healthy and beautiful parts of the city in Harlem. "On to 'New York' and 'New York in 1927' will be the dogon of every New Yorker at Cleveland this year." Colored Elevator Operator Is Hero Of Downtown Fire Ragan Joyce of Brooklyn, colored elevator operator, was the hero of a two alarm fire which drove 400 tenants from the Nelson Building at 19 Park place, last Monday. August 9 The blaze was discoverd dabout one o'clock in the establishment of the Fulton Manufacturing Company, which occupies the sixth floor of the building. The dense smoke and the wailing of sirens soon attracted a huge crowd. The heavy lunch hour congestion of parked automobiles hampered the firemen in their efforts to get the apparatus hear the place. Two alarms had been sent in before the firemen finally arrived. Joyce remained on the job, warning tenants and taking them to the ground floor until he became dazed from smoke and had to be escorted out. By this time practically all the 400 tenants and visitors had gotten safely to the street. No one was injured and the fire was gotten under control after an hour It is reported that a puture is being raised for the heroic elevator opera. George L. Patterson Race Lawyer Makes Last Minute Fight For Baltimore Bandit Gen. R. Patterson, colored lawyer has under the final effort to save Richard Riege Whittemore, patriotic bandit, from the gallows. Edgar Allen Porter, attorney and leading Maryland politician, had been shelved by the Whittemore family as, the State, wont ahead with its preparations to hang "The Candy Kid" next Friday. Attorney Dendleton, has filed suit for a writ of libel corpus, preliminary to carrying the case to the United States Supreme Court on the ground that the bandit's trial, here for the murder of Robert Holloway, the Maryland Punitioner, was unlawful. The conviction of all the defendants in case the writ is adjudicated. Dendleton is prepared to take the case to the Supreme Court, which however, would not necessarily stop the execution. Car Conductor's Skull Fractured By Piece Of Iron Thrown By Youth Timothy Ring, a conductor of the New York Railway Company's "green line" which operates cars on lenox avenue, had his skull fractured Wednesday. August 4. A group of boys around ten years of age jumped on his car to steal a ride. The conductor had the car stopped and got off to chase the boys. They got off the car but instead of running, they began to stone the conductor. A small piece of iron struck Mr. Ring in the head and he was knocked unconscious. The motorist had him rushed to Haven Hospital where that his skull had been fractured. Proof of the 10th Precinct are searching for the boys but so far no arrests have been made According to the officials of the railway company, they have all kinds of trouble with boys stealing rides on the cars during the summer vacation. This seems to be especially the case in Harlem, where a number of accidents have resulted lately. On July 28 Fred Sharp ten years old, of 1933 Lenox avenue, had dragged an oxen back by his hoof and was dragged 100 feet to a Lenox avenue car. Young Sharp was stealing a ride and when he attempted to jump from the moving car, he slipped and was dragged along the street. He was taken to Harlem Hospital for treatment. Parents are urged to warn their boys against triving to steal rides on the street cars. Pace States Issues In His Elks Campaign In his last public statement, Harry H. Pace, past grand exalted ruler and former grand secretary, J. B. P. O. E. of W., summarizes the issues on which he is making his fight against George Bates of Newark, present grand secretary, a position Bates has held for the past fifteen years. As stated by Mr. Pace, the issues are 1. The money spent for Elk printing should be spent with Elk printers. 2. Under proper safeguards the necessary cash balances of the Order might be placed in Safe Banks of the Race. 3. There should be no life tenures in office. A definite term would eliminate the disgraceful politics into which we have been planted each year. 4. A proper aid of the Order's books should be made by competent authorities on a regular basis. 5. The bulk of the funds of the Order ought to be invested in first mortgages so as to help the Order and the lodges actuate and save their homes. Drug Grazed Man Victim of Bullets From Policeman's Pistol "A drug grazed Negro, who ignored his command to halt, according to the police, was shot twice early Tuesday at West Street station, after a chase of bullets through the East Side. Although wounded the East Side, with Swiney, at Amen C and Third street, wrestling the department revolver from his hand. With the assistance of a baker's delivery man, however, the patrolman soon subdued him. At Bellevue Hospital, where the prisoner was taken in an ambulance, he described himself as William Brown, 29 years old. 301 West 36th street. He is six feet two inches tall and weighs 225 pounds, presenting a formidable opponent for the patrolman. One bullet struck Brown in the left hand another in the back. Husband Breaks Wife's Arm When He Administers Beating To Her With Shoe Julius Watson Named To Oppose Conlin In Republican Primary Julius W. Watson, one of the best known Republicans in Harlem and prominent in church and fraternal circles, has been selected by the colored Republican of the 21st A. D. to oppose Robert S. Conklin for membership to the Republican State Committee in the fall primary. The committee that had been seeking a candidate to oppose Mr. Conklin for the past two weeks is elated with Mr. Watson's acceptance. In accepting a call to lead the fight on Mr. Conklin's leadership, Mr. Watson wrote the editor of The Are as follows: "Impressed with the fact that every citizen in this locality should co- Ines Dawkins, 19, of 209 West 10th street, suffered a broken forearm and multiple scalp wounds. Friday, August 6 when she was beaten by her husband, Anbeyee Dawkins, with a shoe. Mrs. Dawkins was attended by Dr. Cooper at Harlem Hospital and then came to the Heights Court where she secured a warrant for her husband's arrest. She told the court he had been drinking. Invades Man's Home, Detective in Bounty, Arrests Man and Wife Contrary to reports circulated in Harlem, the arrest and persecution of Mr. Haleen and the death of 49 West 129th street, charged with beating up a police detective, was due to error on the part of the detective himself. According to the story related by several witnesses it would seem that the police detective went to 47 West 129th street, to arrest a woman charged with soliciting men. Two police officers wanted outside. It is said that the woman ran down the fire escape leading to the basement where the Jacobs family lived, pursued by the detective who was in plain clothes. Facing to find his prisoner, the detective raped on the door of the apartment of the Jacobs family, and without explaining the purpose of his mission, flashed a gun in the face of Mrs. Jacobs when she opened the door. The woman's screams brought her husband, who believing it to be a hold up, pounced upon the detective, relieved him of his gun and administered a few blows. The screams of Mrs. Jacobs brought the two police officers waiting outside, who immediately arrested them. The American West Indian Ladies' Aid Society has caused the fund in the matter of M. and Mrs. Jacobs, who are both natives of St. Thomas, U.S.A., and plans are also being made for a public mass meeting on Sunday, August 19th. Contribution will be received by Miss Elizabeth Hendrickson, president 58 West 400th street, and Isahel F. George 118 West 153th street. Brooklynite Pleads Guilty of Slashing Wife,With a "Gaby" A ransom is a gobble, where Ebenezer Green, colored, of 1942 Fulton street, Brooklyn, came from—but not where he is going. He pleaded guilty to two and degree assault last Friday before County Judge Nova in Brooklyn and was remanded for sentence "the 'gaby' he admitted had slipped. Attorney Rufus Hare, acted as spokesman for honor" he remarked This is a fine problem in domestic trust. He explained that Mrs Green loved cabarres, while Ebenezer could scarcely stand to be near one And so, on the night of June 18, when Mrs Green vanished, Ebenezer trailed her. She was in a cabaret There was something of an argument, Perry explained. A third person indefinitely intruded. Then out came the "gaby" and just slipped along the complaint's face, your home." The complaint was Mrs. Green. Green rolled his eyes and laughing. But Judge Nova, after laughing a little, said he pled his pleas of guilty—and remanded him for sentence." Judge Nova said, Green continued in silence. "And he'd better put his 'gaby' on probation," the Judge added, "or share only his own face." Julius Watson Named To Oppose Conklin in Republican Primary Julius W. Watson, one of the best known Republicans in Harlem and prominent in church and fraternal circles, has been selected by the colored Republicans of the 21st A. D. to oppose Robert Conklin for president of the Republican State Committee in the fall primary. The committee that had been seeking a candidate to oppose Mr. Conklin for the past two weeks is clated with Mr. Watson's acceptance. In accepting the call to lead the fight on Mr. Conklin's leadership, Mr Watson wrote the editor of The Age as follows: "Impressed with the fact that every citizen in this locality should cooperate in the determined effort now being made to gain the recognition to which colored Republicans are entitled. I have accepted the call to become a candidate for member of the Republican State Committee in opposition to the present incumbent, Robbins, the Reader of the 21st Assembly Diaffing. "With the understanding that I am not the candidate of any particular faction and with assurance of support from the energy, the business and professional men and women, and the various other agencies in this community there is every certainty that this cause will be accomplished." Of the arrested Holly conjoined time, the party served the colony served by Mr. Conklin Is responsible for the strike now rampant within the local organization not in this section alone but throughout the entire district. The courageous men and women who are leading this fight should receive the wholehearted support of all who are interested in the preservation of the Republican party here and in the principle that every man, irrespective of color or condition, has the right to aspire to place and honor them. The attempt to discipline the party workers who have hired a stand firm for these ideals should be rebuked, and that rebuke should be administered at the polls on Primary Day. I shall ask the active support of every Republican in this call to duty. Mr Watson is president of the Clubmen's Beneficial League and a trustee of Mother A M F Zion Church. The fight against Robert S. Conklin as leader of the district, dates back several years. In mayoral campaign, last year, many colored writers were alienated from the Republican party by Mr. Conklin's document and by his arbitrarily appointing a colored leader instead of allowing the colonists of the Country Committee to choose their own leader as they had. Those district captains who made strenuous objections to Mr. Conklin's action last fall have been recently dismissed from these positions by Mr. Conklin On August 5 he wrote 14 of the colored captains a letter of dismissal as follows: "We have deemed it advisable that you should not continue as a Republican district captain during the comin- cation election." The district captains and others who oppose Mr. Conklin have placed a complete ticket in the field and are working hard to rally the their support. Special efforts will be made in behalf of Mr. Watson, who is opposing Mr. Conklin and Mrs. Jane Crouley who is opposing Mrs. Hortense Warner for membership to the Republican State Committee. Cleveland's New Hospital Not a 'Jim Crow' Scheme --- Cleveland, O. - The Merry Hospital Association, planning the erection of another hospital here, has issued a statement correcting a publication made by the Plam Dealer which made it appear that the institution is intended to be for colored patients only. The institution declares that the new hospital is intended to the needs of every citizen regardless of color, and shall have no restricted wards for any group, race or creed. In explaining this need, it is pointed out that sixty Cleveland hospital participate in the community fund budget, recipient of city and county funds but Negro physicians and nurses can treat patients only in paid private rooms, and it is further alleged that all of the hospital's patients are available for colored patients, and will receive more than that quota, even though beds in both free and pay wards are available. --- COLORED PRISONER SLAYS DETECTIVE AT HEADQUARTERS Alloged 3rd Degree Method To Wring Confession Soul To Be Responsible While being grilled by detectives at Police Headquarters on a charge of having stolen an automobile, George Pearce a colored prisoner, grabbed the revolver of Detective John Singer, shot that detective and escaped from the half dozen other police men in this room.

He was arrested on a charge of having stolen an automobile owned by Louis Kubin of 171 Henry strenge. He waived extradition and willingly accompanied the detective to New York insisting that he could establish his innocence. Officer Killed Instantly The police say that Singer was questioning Pearce with the six other detectives looking on, when the latter suddenly lunged forward, paled Singer's revolver from its bolster and fired. The bullet struck Singer in the head and killed him almost instantly. As the other detectives, rushed to head him, firing several shots, the man was corroded and had thrown himself at Centre Street with the deterrent following. As Pearce ran north along Center street, many policemen on duty headquarters joined in the pursuit. By running in and out of doorways, Pearce managed to escape the bullets 40 after him by the pursuers. Every precinct in the city was protified to detail Patrolmen and detectives to search for Pearce, and within half an hour all derries, bridges and other exits of the city were covered in the search for the murderer. He had not been apprehended as The Age went to press. The dead detective was 40 years old and leaves a wife and two small children. He was appointed to the force in 1908 and had a good record.

Washington D C—Howard University officials have issued a lengthy statement, denying in detail charges recently made by the District Fire Marshall in a report to the Secretary of the Interior that the new athletic field and Stadium is a fire menace. Photograms were submitted by the college authorities to the Secretary showing in detail nine exits as against six as reported by the marshal, and nine as reported by the marshal, and of water supply properly located around the field. Additional data is produced to show that fire risk is minimized throughout the entire construction, and that every possible precaution has been exercised to avoid combustion possibilities. There is an hourly service by watchmen, who traverse the entire premises from 4 p.m. to 8 a.m. the year round. It was charged by the Howard folk that the related investigation with questioning either admitted or any of the university officials, and that no information has been sought from anyone in position to furnish reliable information. ‘ os Oe Bare Mey UTE ne SAREE IM ote Rae tn | APA eater iin noon Es Jahn SACO ed ONE eRe eoP RE RE eh ee Se EE, oo UMA TRESS is rT ot re SESS pos tee ee a Satara sae oe cs ibe ee BE NEW YoRe gE cot: | TO RECO EA May deli i Vaal) © CE SHS er tae ee eae aren STARE : i Nelioad Beles Visa ie AF, SCHOO, ew Sees ive => (CATE LILO [Bas ok A ky | Reel ed Pr ay ep |.

According to an announcement of the United States Government chemist, seven hundred people died in New York City last year of poisoned liquor. If one would inquire who was this wholesale poisoner, who seeks to surpass the record of the Borgias in dealing death in goblots to friends and foes alike, truth would compel the answer that a paternal government supervises the admixture of the deadly dose. Poison is put in the rum in the name of Prohibition, the object being to denature the grain alcohol, so as to render it unfit for beverage use. But a perverse taste for alcoholic beverages insists upon drinking liquor made from this denatured alcohol, provided by an accommodating but unscrupulous bootlegger. The report of the government chemist goes on to show that in 1921, seventy-five per cent. of the "hard liquor" samples received for analysis were "straight" whiskey. In 1924, the stock of real whiskey having been depleted, the liquor supplied to consumers was largely redistilled from specially denatured alcohol. This contained chemicals supposed to render it unfit for consumption as a beverage, but not so deadly in their effects as the completely denatured alcohol, which made its appearance in March, 1925. This contains such poisonous ingredients as wood alcohol, kerosine and gasoline. These substances are now found in a large percentage of all samples of liquor now tested, as the attempts to remove them are rarely entirely successful. The person who drinks promiscuous liquor nowadays therefore runs the risk of paying the death penalty for his indiscretion. No longer ago than last week ten indictments for murder and manslaughter were sought by the authorities at Buffalo, in connection with the killing of a number of people who drank poison liquor at that place and Jamestown. The bootleggers who sold the liquor were held responsible in these cases. But the government itself is not free from such measure of responsibility for these deaths. In most cases the poison is mixed with the pure grain alcohol under the supervision of government agents and the mixture released to irresponsible parties to be used as the base for bootleg liquor. It is only recently that any attempt has been made by the prohibition authorities to check up on the use made of this poisonous product and to prevent its use for beverage purposes. Even now that attempt at supervision does not prevent the sale of poison rum, as the deaths at Buffalo and elsewhere plainly show. The habitual drinker, or even the occasional consumer of "hard liquor," might as well recognize the fact that the violation of the Prohibition Amendment is practically a capital offence. The drinker who aids in violating the law by drinking strange liquor, is liable to pay for it by losing his life. There may be a few Old Soaks who argue that life without liquor is not worth living, but they are few and far between. The others who value their life and health should restrain their thrust until Prohibition is modified by taking it out of the class of capital offences. A REAL PRESS ASSOCIATION The annual meeting of the National Negro Press Association, held in Philadelphia last week, though limited in numbers, was significant as indicative of a determination to make it a working organization of men actually engaged in the making of Negro newspapers. Membership in the association was limited to the owners and managers of newspapers of this class, and the spirit of cooperation in working out the destiny of the rare press was manifest in the deliberations and conferences There is need of greater cooperation of our men engaged in the making of newspapers along practical lines. In the matter of production many economies and improvements could be made possible by combination and distribution in the matter of paper supplies, composition and presswork. Journals in the same town could use the same plant for the printing and distribution of papers, where one possessed facilities not owned by the others. In the matter of news gathering the association could establish a syndicated ser- vice that would cover the whole country and supply each member according to its needs. This would serve as a source of reliable news and information on all racial subjects, gathering at first hand from original sources. The matter of general advertising could also be more advantageously handled by a central bureau that could deal with big advertisers on a basis of national circulation. Through this bureau the advertiser could cover any section of territory desired at a bulk rate, to be apportioned according to circulation among the group of papers se-selected. Irresponsible advertisers who exploit one paper after another, could be weeded out by a system of credit ratings, based on reports from the various papers of their dealings with this class of swindlers. The difficult task of training efficient agents for the securing of subscriptions and the sale and distribution of papers would be made easier, if the business could be concentrated in the hands of those proved reliable and efficient in that line. Irresponsible agents have long been one of the greatest causes of loss and embarrassment to the publishers of our papers. This is often due to the inexperience of the agent and the small volume of business he handles in dealing with only one paper. If he could handle a greater volume of papers, his work would not be greatly increased, but his profits would be greater. In their effort to function as a genuine press association the men who own and run the Negro newspapers of the country should study these practical questions of production and management, as well as the broader questions of editorial policy and the proper treatment of news. There is much to be gained by combination along certain lines, without sacrificing the individuality that should characterize every successful newspaper. SOUND SPORTING SENTIMENT The magnificent ovation given Harry Wills over Jack Dempsey upon their meeting as spectators at the new Madison Square Garden one night last week, was clear evidence that the local sporting world considers Wills as the logical contender for the heavyweight championship. It indicated that race or color cuts but little figure with the fight fans of New York, when they have a chance to express their sentiments. As Wilbur Wood, the sports writer of the New York Sun, said, "the appearance of both Dempsey and Wills occasioned an impromptu test of public opinion as to the merits of Wills' demand that he be given a chance at the title, and the colored gladiator must have felt a thrill when he received what was unquestionably the greatest ovation ever accorded a boxer in the new Garden or the old." Dempsey on the other hand was greeted with mingled cheering and booing and finally made his way out to a volume of hoots and catcalls. Another writer, George B. Underwood, described the applause that greeted Wills' entrance, unaccompanied, as "a sudden tornado of sound." His dramatic proffering of his hand to Dempsey as he passed on his way to his seat was the climax of the meeting. Dempsey accepted the handclasp, as did also Tex Rickard, although it seemed, according to this writer, that the latter did so grudgingly. Sid Mercer of the New York Journal sought to make it appear that the action of Wills and Dempsey was the occasion of setting loose "mob spirit" in the Garden, which might have started a race riot. As the great majority of the thousands of spectators present were whites, it would have been a peculiar sort of race riot, with whites on both sides. Chairman Farley of the Boxing Commission, who has fought so consistently and courageously for the recognition of Wills as the logical contender for the title, did not seem to think that there was anything wrong about Wills stopping to greet the champion, who has so long avoided meeting him in the ring. The gratifying feature of the occasion was the spontaneous expression of the fight fans against the drawing of a color line in the arena of manly sport. INFANT MORTALITY ALARMING Recent figures relating to the excessive death rate among Negro infants, based on the United States census returns, show an alarming situation, if the statistics are to be credited According to these figures which cover some thirty states and the District of Columbia, the proportion of deaths among Negro infants less than one year of age was nearly double and in some places more than double those of whites. The accuracy of this proportion is, however, open to question on the ground that records of births are not always as exact as records of deaths. Allowing for such discrepancy, the excess of deaths is still too great. If the facts are as indicated by these figures, there is something radically wrong with the treatment or lack of treatment given these infants by doctors, nurseries or mildwives. It is a matter that should be taken up by the National Medical Association at its approaching meeting in Philadelphia, so as to determine the reason for this discrepancy and where the responsibility lies. If there is a failure to report the births, in many cases, it would tend to show a disproportionate death rate, because there could be no failure to report the deaths. The investigator who studied these figures, called attention to the fact that the city of Wilmington, Del., had the unenviable distinction of having a larger colored infant mortality than any other city having a population of one hundred thousand or more inhabitants. And yet Wilmington has at least ten colored physicians and a colored member on the Board of Health. Norfolk, Va., reported that the deaths of colored children for the year 1923 were three times greater than those of whites. In Washington, D. C., where there is no paucity of colored doctors, there were twice as many deaths among colored infants as of the other race. New York City showed a death rate among white infants of 65 per thousand births to 116 colored; while the Borough of Brooklyn showed 59 white to 101 colored. In smaller cities, the statistics were even more startling. The survival of any race depends upon the saving of the children and their growth to maturity. Insurance rates are also based upon the ratio of deaths to population and an excessive death rate means increased premiums. The importance of these statistics to the well being, and in fact the continued existence of the race cannot be disputed. It is up to the doctors to take up this matter in their convention and to investigate it from every standpoint. The association should enjoin upon all members of the profession the necessity of reporting births as well as deaths, as a deficiency in the former figures may have a bearing on the matter. Then they should inquire if there is anything fundamentally wrong in the treatment of expectant mothers and their offspring. If there is a lack of proper care in such cases, measures should be proposed to provide a remedy. Let the facts be obtained through the members of the association and published broadcast, so that the danger of another vanishing race in America may be averted. A COLORED NEWS PAGE. The Daily News of St. Petersburg, Flat publishes as a feature of its regular edition a page headed "News of Interest to Colored People." Samples of this page sent to us show that it consists of five columns, with an advertisement on the back of the sheet. The first column is made up of gossipy personal notes with the titles of "Mrs." and "Miss" scrupulously prefixed to the feminine names given. There was a column of editorial and special news articles of educational and social interest. Besides having an editor and society editor, this page announces to "Personal Service Bureau" to solve the problems of its readers. There was an effort to be facetious in "Dr. Catt's Column," a burlesque of letters addressed to a physician, with his answers in another issue Mrs. Lopez gave advice on love and marriage. In a box in the lower corner of the last column appeared an announcement which stated: "An advertisement on this page reaches more colored people in St. Petersburg than any paper published in this state." Distinct sections in Southern dailies devoted to the news of colored readers are not unknown, a Jacksonville daily having published such a page for years. Colored writers are employed to conduct such sections and the news is mostly of a personal nature with doings of the churches and lodges. The increase in the number of such pages is a recognition of the increasing importance of the race as an economic factor in the communities where they occur.

The first column is made up of gossipy personal notes with the titles of "Mrs." and "Miss" scrupulously prefixed to the feminine names given. There was a column of editorial and special news articles of educational and social interest. Besides having an editor and society editor, this page announces a "Personal Service Bureau" to solve the problems of its readers. There was an effort to be facetious in "Dr. Catt's Column," a burlesque of letters addressed to a physician, with his answers. In another issue Mrs Lopez gave advice on love and marriage. In a box in the lower corner of the last column appeared an announcement which stated: "An advertisement on this page reaches more colored people in St. Petersburg than any paper published in this state." Distinct sections in Southern dailies devoted to the news of colored readers are not unknown, a Jacksonville daily having published such a page for years. Colored writers are employed to conduct such sections and the news is mostly of a personal nature, with doings of the churches and lodges. The increase in the number of such pages is a recognition of the increasing importance of the race as an economic factor in the communities where they occur. ABYSSINIA BEFORE THE LEAGUE Abyssima is one of the few countries in Africa that still retains its ancient pretensions to an independent government free from European domination. But this independence appears to be threatened by a combination of British and Italian interests. Abyssinia is one of the few countries in Africa that still retains its ancient pretensions to an independent government free from European domination. But this independence appears to be threatened by a combination of British and Italian interests, which have mapped out what is defined as a sphere of economic influence in the ancient kingdom of Menelik. The present ruler of Abyssinia, who holds power as regent, charges that these two European governments are attempting to bully his country into submission to their demands. Italy has long been anxious to carve out for herself a great colony in Africa and within the memory of the present generation suffered an unglorious defeat in her effort to invade Abyssinia. Doubtless the government of Mussolim deems the present time more propitious for renewal of that adventure, especially with the influence of Great Britain to aid in the attempt The British government defends its agreement with Mussolini as having no political significance, on the ground that it simply binds Italy and England not to compete with each other in the exploitation of Abyssinia, and that the latter country remains free to grant or reject the concessions asked. against the weaker nations of the world. If the outcome is as anticipated, the League will have demonstrated its value as a safeguard of the rights of the weaker nations. But it is not safe to build too much on that expectation. Halti and Liberia were also members of the League. The League of Nations so far has been practically dominated by the five great powers, including Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan, with the United States as an unofficial observer, but not without influence. Unless one or more of these powers champions the cause of Abyssinia, she will have to rely upon her own strength to repel the rapacious Europeans. And the ancient weapons that repelled the Italian hosts several decades ago will not be so effective against the more modern inventions of the world war. Abyssinia's appeal has put the League of Nations on trial. COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS follows them to the place of their resusal. Two young men in the community were recent notable exceptions to this rule. Having been refused service in a Minneapolis restaurant about a year ago they brought suit against the proprietor of the place. That they were awarded one cent damages each is not the important point in the case. They proved their earnestness in a demand for common rights by taking official action. Should that same prompt measure be taken by all colored citizens in similar circumstances, this tightening rope of DERS' FORUM THE AGE READERS' FORUM (but there is no age in tennis) and lowers of the game to eat chocolates and candies, sharing them with the young players whom we desire to carry on the courtly game in the spirit of good fellowship. As Mr. Saitch won the first leg on the Howell Cup, Mr. George Thompson, in a spirited game, would not be denied his share in the Cockburn Cup. Another gift, "Hamlet," by Shakespeare, was given Mr. Thompson, who is a student at Wilberforce, for his phuck and gentlemanly conduct. New York is proud of the president, members and officials of the N. Y. T. A. (not forgetting the stern "judge" Hoage) and the ladies in their charm and beauty will again welcome our visitors. Yours for Tennis, (Rev) CHAS D MARTIN. 124 West 136th street, N Y. C Praises Skill of Dr. James L. Wilson Editor of The New York Age Kindly give me space in your valuable paper to relate an experience of mine. For two years I was suffering exercising pain in one foot, which had become shapeless because of swelling. I was unable to walk and consulted twelve physicians and surgeons. After receiving letters from any one of them, I was consulted by Dr James W. Wilson at the suggestion of S. Roberts, of 234 West 130th street. Dr W. Wilson told me my foot could be cured but not at once. He took my case and I am ready he resorted to the highest skill in perfecting a cure. He purchased an Apine Sun Lamp at a cost of $500 to be used in my case and one or two others. At the Edgeworthie Sanatarium, where Dr W. Wilson is superintendent, I was treated with short time my foot had gotten so much better. I was able to walk and am now able to get about as usual. I cannot speak too highly of the patience, skill and sympathetic understanding which Dr Wilson displayed in this case. He is a fine physician and sureson. Mrs M JOHNSON, Former President The H. H.

Application may be had to the Custom House New York City. Nevertheless, great pressure is being exercised by both these powers to ensure compliance with their demands, and in their bargain to help each other they will probably not hesitate to use force as well as diplomacy. Great Britain, it seems, wants to build a dam in Abyssinian territory, to protect the waters of the Blue Nile. What Italy wants is not specified, but it probably comprises all that British rapacity fails to grab. The whole agreement has the aspect of an effort to partition Abyssinia between these two European powers. Abyssinia is, however, a member of the League of Nations. She has brought the aggressive movement concerted by Italy and Great Britain before the League and hopeful observers think that the discussion that will ensue may help to check this movement, as well as similar practices adopted by the stronger The matter of demanding rights in public places was treated by the St. Paul Echo as calling for vigorous action. It said among other things: Men of the North, knowing—or at least, believing—that conditions are better here than they are in the South, accept an occasional alight as the natural and to-be-expected thing. Their expression on the matter is apt to be more passive than militant. For the time, of course, they are angry, but their anger seldom leads them to any constructive action which will better a discriminatory situation for the next person who My Life I don't want to live a life of shame And be afraid to speak and tell my name; I want to go with my head up high, Look at Heaven and the sky.

A Gesture For Good Will Editor of The New York Age: Will you kindly accord me space in your well-read columns to express my appreciation for the valuable cup given the New York Tennis Association by the gallant Captain and charming Mrs. Cockburn, to be played for by three neighboring states. Neither the captain nor Mrs. Cockburn plays the game, but they have desired to bring the Race of the three states together in the spirit of sport and good will. West Indian and American have to live together and for the good of each they must live in harmony, saturated with love. If we can meet in sport, respect each other, learn to give and take, and be genuinely courteous one to the other and must carry this idea into the more serious affairs of life, condition and aspirations, dominated by that haunting feeling that we are one—untied in some distant past, make us one. Our blood clamors for unity and peace. The spirit of distrust and suspicion must be banished by courtesy and genuine goodwill. The Captain's Cup means all this and is a "magnificent gesture" from one side, which I trust will be appreciated by the other. Long life to the captain and his worthy wife, also to the donor of the H Adolph Howell Cup for local players. The old Ideal Tennis Club and Masters and Spooner courts, where the royal palace were bought by the old masters and the young aspirants for honors in the tennis world deserve much credit. A novel and pleasing feature of the conclusion of the tournament was this gathering together of the old players. The United States Civil Service Commission announces an open competitive examination for the position of Railway Mail Clerk, for men from 18 to 35 years and paying $19000 yearly at entrance, with expenses of not more than $200 per day when on service from home. This is one of the most popular examinations in the U.S. Civil Service and should make a wide and strong appeal to our men all over the country. This examination will be held in every state of the Union. Applications for the New York District may be had at the Custom House New York City. More than 1000 persons have made application for the examination for Civil Service Investigator of the Municipal Building where the applications are received. Applications for this examination opened last week and thus he filed not later than 4 p.m. August 12th. This is a good position for some of our more qualified people to get into A large number of state examinations are expected to be held on September 25. These State tests take place quite frequently, and they should be a source of much employment for our group in and around prisoners which is every day gaining a stronger hold would be forced home. Colored men in the North will soon day, dare that merely being there is not producing full citizenship rights. Action there must be vigorous action, and enough of it to show the reason that the Negroes of this section are alive to and protest against the condition which is surely hamming. Only in this way can the North reach the North with all that it has need to the Negro in the past. All of which goes to prove the criminal vigilance is still the price to be paid for liberty. Emphasizing the need of a criminal story for colored girls in South Carolina, the Columbia Palmetto League told of two girls, aged 10 and 14 years who were convicted of assault. It now timed: They were sentenced by the lunge of the Reformatory of Negro hours in Lexington county, near Columbia, until they were 21 years of age. Just why they were sentenced to that Reformatory is a puzzle, for it certainly ought be known by this time that their place was provided exclusively, quite a number of years ago, for colored boys. A number of the young girls were taken there, but of course refused admittance. They were then sent to the penitentiary, but they were soon refused, as they should have been, they were not sentenced to that place. What anybody want to put in girls like those in the penitentiary anyway for? Being refused there, the little girls were taken back to York and lodged in jail. But how can they be kept there? Their sentence is not to that jail. As the state has failed to provide a place for delinquent girls, the only suggestion offered was that the judge change the sentence to the penitentiary. In discussing educational appropriations in Georgia, the Sayannah Training said: Georgia has about twenty-three institutions above the high school for the education of white boys and girls. It has only three schools for colored youth that may not even be credited in the high school tilt. The state has appropriated $1,349,064 of its higher education. Out of this more than a million and a paltry $10 million for white children and a paltry $20 million for all the colored children in the state will receive more than five million dollars. The color schools will receive the same proportion as that stated above. The injustice of the appropriation is plainly seen as does not in the least bit reflect with degree of credit upon the fairness those who have the direction of such appropriations. We do not envy in the large amount expended for the education of youth. They should have even more been enlightened, they then become more enlightened, they will be inclined to be less narrow and prejudiced along racial lines. Notwithstanding this fact, we are equally anxious for our boys and girls. A more enlightened type of legislators is needed to deal fairly in providing for the educational needs of both races. The Atlanta Independent asserted rather broadly that the average Negro news bureau is a nuisance, whose only purpose is to exploit the Negro press. It explained the charge as follows. These news agencies have no papers of their own, yet they represent to the cheap notoriety buyer, and the fellow whose name is like his face, always seen in public places, that they can give him a certain amount of publicity in a given circulation about five times as large as the circulation of the papers they can fool into carrying their matter, and the poor misguided creatures fall to the price. Then the news agency sends its free releases out to the Negro papers in the country, charging them to much a week for purely advertisement that they collect from $25 to $100 for If this is so, the Negro newspaper are responsible for encouraging exploitation. There is a field for the gathering and dissemination of news, which might be cultivated advantage by the right kind of news services. --- According to a news article in the Pacific Defender of Los Angeles residents of that city protested against color discrimination in the open a swimming pool on the East side of the City Pork Commission and organization Board. It read in part The pool is located on Las street between Central avenue and om street. It was opened on Saturday, July 17, in charge attendants, who made it understand the pool was restricted only in color and there the restriction. There is only one pool and boys girls are allowed to swim together the plunge. All white persons are of Latin and Caucasian blood were fused admittance, and were not attendants that the pool was the Americans only. Many of the are in the vicinity of the pool who are loudly protesting against the crimination by the Park Commission not admitting their children to the dom of the plunge This illustrates the absurdity of our prejudice that enforces a view of discrimination in public places.

St Paul Baptist Church Though the pastor's vacation began the first of the month, yat he has found it impossible to get away from the city, owing to business and sickness among the members. Being in the city, he has had opportunity to know how the affairs of the church are moving along. The B. Y. P. U. had a special program of singing Wednesday night by a group of persons from Georgia, and a group of people from the present. Mr. Dearough had his eyes open while at the convention in Buffalo, and the presence of this group of singers was the result of his arrangement. Friday night an unusual number of persons were out to the regular prayer service, and all enjoyed themselves as well as being helped spiritually. Sunday morning, also, the faithful were out to the sunrise 'meeting in goodly numbers, and this put the finishing touches on the spiritual-preparation for the preaching services. Rev. Moses Thomas preached, morning and evening, acceptable and helpful sermons. His morning theme was "Tell Jesus." There were a number of visiting ministers at the morning service. Rev. and Mrs. Booker, both being in the city for the day, worshipped in the morning. Mark's M. F church was in the evening with Mr. Olivet Baptist Church. The Misses I, F and J A Booker, who are now in Chicago, spending a part of their vacation, will return to the city the latter part of the present week, and after preaching for the St. James Presbyterian Church the third Sunday, he will fill his father's pulpit for the remaling Sundays of the month. Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Great crowds throughed the Temple last Sunday and the services were beautiful and inspiring. The pastor, Dr Hayes, occupied the pulpit at the morning hour and delivered an effective discourse from the subject. "Following Our Visions". At the evening hour the sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered, and the hand of fellowship extended to a large number of new members Rev H Arthur Booker, pastor of the St Paul Baptist Church, city, now on vacation, assisted in the administration of the Lord's Supper. During the past week the church received a handsome sunny parlor-grand-piano, the gift of wealthy white lady B. Griffin was secured by Richard B. Iowe. 90 West 130th street, a former trustee of Mount 100th street. The Golden Robe Club, Mrs. H. Johnson, president, presented Dr Hayes with a beautiful silk robe latest model at the morning hour, and Mr Richardson presented the pastor one of Bruce Barton's latest books, entitled, "The Book Nobody Knows." The music for the day was very good, despite the fact that the choir is greatly reduced because so many are away on vacation.

Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church Pastor Strachan, of the Harlem Second Church, filled the desk last Saturday morning and brought the message to the congregation. Among many other things the speaker said: "The sociologist and the free thinker advance their opinions of the marriage estate, but the Bible subordinates all they have to say to the wise or original purposes of phoebis God, Marriage God, peculiar business of the He is the head of the concern and His wishes and His mind must be followed by all who have any thing to do with it. "We should not misinterpret marriage, nor think that it is a pleasure trip for us mortals. True pleasure is found in it for both contracting parties, but it is understood that we are secondary considerations in matter. First of all, the God must be souls and ever respected step of the way; for we are embarking upon a position in which we are to please God exalt His name, and show forth His kingdom in our lives. The following illustrates how lightly marriage is regarded by some these days. A young fellow employed in a large mercantile establishment, took wife the other night. He thought this was grounds for a larger salary. A manager replied, that no assistance could be rendered, but the firm was not responsible for accidents which happened to employees when off duty. THE NEW YORK AGE WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH Marriage is infinitely more than an accident in the eyes of Heaven. It is the working out of a grand and holy purpose. Around every married couple a holy circle is drawn. God himself brings together the two parties. The ermony has virtually lost its meagling if it does not tie the hearts of those who have been attracted to each other by God's Spirit. That ineffable call of man to woman in matrimony is a Driving call. Science does not, and cannot explain it. She mumbles something about the law of selection; but materialism gropes in the dark after the secret; and then ends with the mystery unexplained. God unfites hearts together; it is His business, and He understands it thoroughly. In the beginning, God gave the first man and the first woman Had there been no transgression, each thereafter would have been provided with his and her own. But sin came in and marred the original plan, and robbed some of their privilege in the matter. Because of sin you will find thousands today who are physically and spiritually incapacitated for many years and so to dishonor God and corse society. We can easily recognize the unfit in the army of degenerates multiplying about us daily. "Instead of being the gateway to boundless joy, marriage is daily growing to be the highway that leads to ruin and hell. Who is in greater torment this very day than are some married folks. Homes where married people live are death houses where the inmates and prisoners are tortured and killed. A Louisiana man of brawny fils wife because she left the house know they are marrying men with uncontrolled tempers, but they do so with the notion in their heads that they can reform them. "If you advise a girl to break off her relations with a bad man, she will insist upon taking a chance, boasting that she will quit him if she fails to reform him. But quitting is not so easily done so some would think. Thousands have found it well, impossible, it reminds us of trying to drop a live wire. We want something more easy to drop, they should take a washing by the week for a intimation they may drop that to some advantage. "Many girls rush hastily and blindly into marriage fearful lest they become old maids. Seems to me I would rather be an old maid than to have the lot of a grass widow." "Girls show some good judgment in your selection of a partner. If you are in love get married, why not take a decent man; one whom and your relatives and friends can respect for his sterling character. He may be poor, but surely he ought to be decent.

Well, why not drop that wet blanket and select a girl that has a straight moral backbone. If you link your fortune to a girl that has lost her respectability, some day you are going to be introduced to a genuine lady; then you will wish you had delayed your wedding. "Young folks, let your wedding day be an occasion of great joy, but add nothing to it that will rob the day of its sacredness. Eliminate the bizarre and the sensational. There is no virtue in being married in an airplane, or a lion's cage, or in mid-ocean. Cut out the elopement and the secret knot tieing; and approach your marriage day with all seriousness and soberness. Be wedded at your home or at the church where you can have the blessing, of your family and your God. Marriage is ordained of God and you should not hesitate to take the hand of your partner openly, and above suspicion, honestly, and honorably." Rush Memorial Church Rev.

Enclose Stamp for Reply of white educators who are serving as state agents in Negro public schools, or as teachers or administrators in Negro schools. Confidence and courage were in evidence, with a distinct note of assurance of better future conditions in Negro education. That the association is optimistic was shown by the fact that the budget for next year was doubled. The message of good will and pledge of co-operation received from the white teachers of the United States, through President Francis G. Blair of the National Education Association, was applauded. The reason of interest was a telegram from Dr. Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tukee Institute, who commanded the work of the N. A. T. C. S. and regretted that he could not be present in person, owing to orders laid upon him by physician and school trustees. Interesting Surveys Made. Committees which had been at work during the past year presented carefully collated reports of studies into conditions in Negro schools in the South, touching upon school attendance, salary of teachers, and standardization of courses. Fred McCunston, State Supervisor of Negro Education for, Arkansas, addressed the Parent-Teacher meeting, conducted by Mrs. Leslie V. Arnold of Little Rock.

The 15,000 boning fans who were present at Madison Square Garden Thursday night, August 5, to the Sugar-Sarmiento contest, saw a bit of unexpected drama. Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion who arrived in the city the day before, had announced that he would be present. About nine o'clock he pit in his appearance, accompanied by Tex Rickard and several other friends. Immediately the arena was divided into two hostile camps—about half the fans booed the chump and the other half cheered him. Fifteen minutes later, Harry Wills, who has been on Dempsey's trail for the past six years, arrived. Wills ovation was without any kisses or boos and was much louder than the one given the champ. When Harry saw Jack on the opposite side of the ring, he went across and shook hands with him. This bit of drama gave the fans an unexpected thrill and the cheering lasted several minutes. It seemed, however, that the cheering was all for the Brown Panther, for when Dempsey left the ringside just before the end of the main bout, he was literally booed out of the house by the fans. This demonstration in favor of the colored boxer proves more conclusively than anything that has been written that Wills is still the leading contender for a fight with the champion. SUGGS WON EASILY Chick Suggs, bantam and featherweight champion of New England, was in his best form for the main bout of the bill arranged by Matchmaker Jess McMahon. Pete Saramente, bantamweight champion of the Orient, proved that he could take plenty of punishment but otherwise he was in no way the match for Suggs. He was out-boxed in every round and was groggy several times during the fight. He managed to survive each round and kept coming back for more punishment. The pace Suggs was setting was too much for the Filipino and he tired badly toward the end of the ten rounds. Dempsey-Tuney Bout May Kill Boxing In New York, Says The Sports Editor of Herald-Tribune W O McGeehan, sports editor of The Herald-Tribune, and the most influential sport writer in New York, calle dattention to the political angles of the proposed Dempsey-Tunney boxing contest in his column—"Down The Line"—one day last week. After reviewing the history of boxing in the state, Mr McGeehan concluded that the friction caused by this bout may result in the repeal of the Walker Law by the next legislature. Mr McGeehan's article was as follows: CAULIFLOWER IN POLITICS Saratoga, August 1—The influence of the cauliflower on current politics is beginning to worry some of the serious thinkers of Tammany, and it is predicted by some of them who are taking the waters or what have you here that the boxing law, of which Mayor Jimmy Walker is the proud parent, will be throttled effectively next year. One of the thinkers put it this way: "Somebody is trying to give Al Smith the works by all this noise about who is the logical contender. Here is Jim Farley insisting that it must be Wills, and Jimmy Walker is telling all, of the colored boys in Harlem that he will see that their noble champion gets his rights, or his lefts, to the chin. "Now apposing that the two Jimmies have their way about it and make it a Dempsey-sight fight. This is going to be very embarrassing if it has to come off in New York. It would be tough on Al going before the Democratic convention with a record of having allowed one of those mixed bouts in New York State. Of course the chances are that Dempsey would knock the colored man kicking, if they did fight, but Al cannot take any chances about that. Dempsey might forget to duck one and the Solid South would want Al held personally responsible. Then supposing that Al should tell the boys not to et Wills sight Dempsey and the news got around. You can lay something that it would get around, because the two Jimmies would see to that. Then Al would be put in the position of not allowing the noble colored man into get his rights, or his lefts, and he would lose all of the back votes in Harlem. "Of course the two Jimmies can say that they could not help the situation and that it came up all by itself. But, if those two boys really were for Al they would not let situations come up. They would tell those commissioners to keep their feet on the soft pedals, which was what they were appointed to do. No, it looks as though they were actually trying to make trouble for Al—not only that, but that they had accomplished no little along these lines already. "There is no doubt that Jimmy Walker has all of the votes with cauft flower cars on them, and some of the boys are saying that he is getting no fond of Al as the time goes on. I do not go as far as to say that Jimmy would ever whisper anything against Al into the tins cars, but if the boys with them should interpret Jimmy as being against Al Jimmy could say that they misunderstood because of being punch drunk and having their ears hammered too hard. "The thing is serious only as far as it indicates that Jimmy does not love Al with all the fervor that an organization Mayor should love an organization Governor. You may say that this is serious enough. But then the votes with the cauldflower cars, even when they are voted a couple of times, do not add up so numerous. "They had them all at Jim Farley's banquet, and there were not so many, even though Jimmy Johnston went out with ropes and dragged them into the banquet room. Their squawk always was more dangerous than their bite "Still the thing may get serious enough for the organization to take up. The boxing business always was embarrassing. A lot of the boys want to know why Tex Rickard, who never did anything for the organization until somebody just as much as showed a cannon against his vest, should be getting all the sugar. "They are asking, 'Ain't there plenty of organization men with brains who could promote a lot of fights.' Why should this sucker get more than an even break?' He only has one vote, and nobody knows just what he does with it at the right time. And there is Bully Muduon appointed by Miller, still holding on and getting a piece in the paper every day, when a lot of organization men would take the job in a minute, even though it has no salary, and trust to luck. "Something has got to be done. The way things are going Al may be embarrassed, and Al does not like to be embarrassed." A Troublesome Child It is no secret that the late Charles F. Murphy frowned decodely on Tammany Hall being identified with the cauliflower industry. He did not approve the birth of the boxing bill, of which Jimmy Walker is the proud father, and he was not happy over the christening. Other Tammany leaders forsaw that the cauliflower industry would involve millions and start some of the boys to thinking farcens thoughts. Al Smith was not one of the godfathers of Jimmy Walker's bill and he has is no way recognized the little stranger Somehow Al Smith does not wish to have the cauliflower cars wig-wragging "You know me, Al," at him wherever he goes. It is a wise boxing bill that knows its own father, and Al Smith wants it to remain wise. You may or may not recall that this same Mr. Rickard who is such a constant annoyance to many a proud soul in Tammans Hall some tried to promote a fight between Jack Johnson, Sergambian, and James L. Jeffries, Nordie, in California. In the end there was so much pressure brought to bear on Governor Gillet of California that he chased Mr. Rickard and his mixed bout into the wilds of Nevada. After that Mr. Rickard, who is no sentimentalist, never again tried to see to it that a deserving Senegambian got his rights, or his lefts, so far as a chance at the heavyweight championship was concerned. The Boxing Commission should reverse itself—as has been its custom—and insist that some promoter should stage a Dempsey-Wills bout the Governor might take the stand that the deserving Senegambian should have his right to be knocked horizontal. Then again he might not. Those sensitive souls of the South, who are horrified at the thought of a Senegambian in the ring with a Nordic, or near-Nordic, might influence him. He might be moved to say of the Boxing Bill, "See Jimmy Walker, I am not the father of this troublesome child." But it would be annoying. Consequently it may happen that Jimmy Walker's brain child may be run over by the next Legislature. The Boys Are Anxious There is a precedent for a Governor withering all of the gauliflowers without the advice or of the State Legislature. It was establish by former Governor Charles Whitman. You may, or may not, recall that a Boxing Commission under Whitman became embarrassing to the chief executive. The trouble started over the granting of a license to a certain clique of promoters. The promoters squaked most vociferously and catried their troubles to the Governor. At the same persons who considered the growth of cauliflowers very offensive added some sucks of their own. reduced added some squares. There was a hearing in Albany and Governor Whitman decided that the cauliflowers must go. He did not wait until the Legislature held a session. He merely revoked the appointments of the boxing commission, there being no Boxing Commission to sanction prizefights, there could be no prizes. Of course this caused no little distress in cauliflower circles. With a cold winter coming on many of the boys were so hard put that they got themselves jobs and went to work. Some of them who passed through that period are still talking about the terrible hardships they endured, as some of the most sensitive of them were driven to manual labor of a most distressing nature. Now that the industry is causing so much discussion numbers of them are viewing the situation with alarm At that there may be some reason for the concern felt by those identified with the manly art of modified murder.

After praising the natural ability of the Negro actor, Mr. Balanco said: "I believe that another decade will see a Negro theatre in which we of the Caucasian race will witness a surprising development of this bitherto dormant natural gift. The Negro with his submerged, instinctive voice, is a natural actor. He has a sufficient background of tragedy to make him fertile ground in which to implant the seeds of splendid acting."

The plightage has ranged from two or three ounces to one pound. My comfort was encured and I decided that I would sit up and take notice when I had occasion to market. When I went on Leontine to choose some vegetables, before the goods were placed on the scales, I noticed that instead of the scales being set at the one point—the beginning—they were up about three ounces, which meant that that amount was right at the weights of the vegetables. The dialer threw the goods on the scales on hard to find pounds about one pound beyond two pound mark. Finally it changed back to two pounds. He informed me that the goods weighed two pounds. Three Quincies Shift Then it was my turn to hand out a killy informative. Therefore, I pro- ceded to inform him that he had short- weighted me three ounces—almost a quarter of a pound. Then the fun be- gin. He and I absolutely, you have two pounds. Spice the word 'abou- here,' and will know whether or not you was a Greek, Jew or Gentile. I looked at the scales, and it was really at the same pound mark, but I had done a looking before the goods were placed there and noticed that three ounces had been taken off from the begin- ning.

The same thing is true in most markets. When I complained of short weight, one brother told me that the scales were out of order every other day because of constipation. Why should Negro women in Harlem be clouted out of hundreds of pounds of meats and vegetables every week because of their fiddle cancer? Tip To The Buyer. You will find the most of the merchants on these avenues using this same method of clustering by the wholesale on Saturday, as this is the biggest shopping day in the week. After a careful investigation, let me give you a few worthwhile tips that should be used when going to market: Look at the scales before the goods are weighed. Doors usually throw the goods on and take them off the scales before they are well balanced. In other words, "watch as well as are." Those chapters don't live here in Harlem where they can turn spent some of the money with the Negroes, but they take up the "big bag" about twelve o'clock every night and go to their homes in the Bronx, where the bag is emptied, and they return about seven o'clock the next morning to get more.

Phone Phoebe Barnett 1131 THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES By JAMES W. HOGANE Negro men, of both American and British nativity, have always entertained a high regard for the way they do things in Canada, but if the latest project of the Canadian National Railways with reference to its Negro dining car writers is put into effect, this regard will receive a severe jolt. New dispatches from Canada announced recently that the Canadian National Railways, the second largest railroad system in Canada, had decided to replace its colored waiters with whites on all diners operating on its deux trains in and out of Canada, some of which are the Continental Limited, the National and the International Limited. It is said that the tips to waiters on these trains are insufficient. Due partly to that, partly to politics, for The Canadian National Railway is operated by the Canadian Government—and partly to a recent request of the Canadian Brothrhood of Railway Employees that an equalization of wage rates for both white and colored employees of the system be put into effect, are some of the versions given for the proposed change by the colored waiters and by persons in close touch with the situation. E. W. Smith, superintendent of the sleeping and parlor cars, restaurant and the dining car departments of the road, said the change was being made because the colored crews have not given satisfaction. That excuse for the replacing of the men was accepted with skepticism by the officers of the C. R. R. E., who said that no complaint prior to the placing of the proposed schedule of wage rates had been made against the services of the colored employees. The Toronto Daily Star, in its report of the change, charged T. E. Church—a member of the Canadian Parliament, with advocating the replacing of colored men by white men on the International Limited and other high class trains, of the Canadian National Railways, on the floor of the House of Commons in Ottawa. The writer of the article went so far as to imply that the system is showing ingratitude by applying these Negro employees with white employees, after so many years of faithful service, especially after the economic improvement in the road's condition. The following are his personal comments on the subject: "The fact is, colored waiters have been used on account of the economic conditions which existed on the old G. T. R. During the past eleven years the writer has spent on the G. T. R. and the C. N. R. Negroes, waiters and cooks, through their economical conditions, have had to work far in excess of what they received in wages, three and four having to do the work of four and five, which is a great saving to the railroad company. What has been the result of these years of faithful service? The C. N. R. has made progress and the financial condition is such that it is now able to take care of these white waiters, as can be noticed by difference in wages." In making the change, the Canadian railroad is not only giving white waiters the preferential trains, but is paying them $79.50 a month as against $65 paid to the Negroes. Now in the States we are accustomed to having them do things that way but in Canada! The procedure seems excuse to the British sense of justice and fair play. Moreover, the charge of unsatisfactory service is difficult of belief, even at this distance. If there is any one field of work in which the Negro has supremely demonstrated his working efficiency or superiority, if you care to consider that term—it has been in the dining car department of the railroad service. Ever since the advent of this class of service in railroad operation, he has been a part of it, and is used today by practically every big railway system in this country. Some of these roads have at various times tried the experiment of replacing Negroes by men of other races, but the experiments have always proved failures. The roads had to capitulate by taking them back. True, the big hotels have found other men who are satisfactory as food servitors. Clarence Bowler Dead Clarence M.

He is not an expatriate like the Frenchman; a linguist like the Swiss, nor fastidious like the Italian, but in getting food from the kitchen to the table, none of the waiters of those locums can touch him, hence for the railroads. Negro waiters are well high indispensable. There is a difference in one dining at a hotel and on dining at an altar, even though the food be of the same quality. It is said to assume that the trouble on the Canadian National Railways is not due to the colored waiters service, but to politics, as alleged, and the request of the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway Employees for qualification of wages, which present more money for the colored employees. As substantiation of statements of the colored waiters regarding their service, here is what the road-has to say about its dining car service: "The Dining Car Service on the Canadian National Railways is just famous among travellers the continent over and every day brings fresh testimony from the patrons of the line, expressive of the satisfaction that they have found in this very important feature of Canadian National Travel Service." A Canadian Press Despatch, under date of July 29, gives the latest development in the matter, as follows: Ottawa, July 23—The replacement of colored dining-car crews with white crews on the Canadian National Railways main line between Montreal and Toronto in all probability will be referred to C. N. R. Employee Board and Investment No. 2 according to A. R. Mother, president of the Canadian Brotherhood of Employees. Mr. Mother's interview Sir Henry Thornton, President of the N. R. Employee Tuesday, and asked for the reinstatement of the colored crews. Sir Henry agrees to reinstatement in the former positions, but said that suitable provisions would be made in other branches of the system for the displaced men.

Because he is dead, his name will be omitted in the story. But the circumstances surrounding his case should be told to the benefit of other porter's. This porter, ultimately, was not a member of the Polish Poor Benefit Association, but he did have an insurance policy in one of those insurance companies which are continually soliciting porters to become insured with them. This solicitation is done through the medium of agents, who dog the footsteps of every new porter they spy, and to a characteristically talented, and to a certain extent composing, these agents are successful in composing these porter's benefits they will derive from their companies in the event of sickness or accident. The deceased happened to be one of those who on entering the service was persuaded to take out a sick-and-accredit policy in one of these companies. He refused to become a member of P. P. B. A, which is not an uncommon thing with quite a number of porters running out of the New York district, and the result of his choice was this. When he was first struck, he had to wait several weeks before his claim received attention from the insurance company. It also happened that just as that time his policy had reached its expiration and would have to be renewed, Did the insurance company new it, Well, not much. Through some unexplained source, it learned the nature and extent of his illness, and turned down his application for renewal of the policy. Now the observations here with reference to the actions of the insurance company are not intended to imply that its actions in this case were any different from those that are followed by other insurance companies in similar circumstances; there are times, no doubt, when these passages have to assume an attitude of defense as well as one of benefit. But in this particular case, how much better it would have been for this pastor had he been a member of the Pothman Porter' financial Association. His membership in this association would have been carried, irrespective of the nature and extent of his illness, and he would have drawn sick benefit up to the time of his death. Furthermore, his estate would have been the beneficiary to the extent of one thousand dollars. As it was, he received, on his hand, said, the "unaffirmed" sum of $0 to total payment for the sick claim he held to the company, several years remittance as holder at the rate of $8 per year. The three years he held the insurance he paid to the insurance people $2. From it he received $0 a loss of $663 in interest alone. The case should be an object fenison to the recruit, and even to some of the veteran Pothman Porters. Pelham porters field days are getting popular in all districts of the Pullman service. On Thursday, August 5, the Pullman porters of the Cleveland district field their first annual field day event, the city, and, according to reports from the affair, the event was quite a success. J. L. Perkins, that unrepentable dance procter and week-end porter, gave one of his periodical entertainments on Wednesday evening, August 4 at North Adams, Mass., which was attended by the city's mayor, the Washington Philadelphia and New York who are spending their vacation in the Berkshire Hills. There is only one punishment, if his way were possible, that this chaucer should like to have inflicted upon the Florida judge who after firing a colored woman $181.17 for riding in a Pullman car, declared that the amount would be greater if he had his sole discretion in the matter. The punishment would be thus. To have the judge serve as a Pullman conductor, in any locality but the South, for six months. After the expiration this period, and after his death, the judge would travel in these cars, the writer feels confident in asserting that his antiquity against the Negro Pullman rider would disappear forever. y ‘| BEIEESESEEEESESES £4457; TEREEEELEEEEEDEREEDESONESTED ESET HIE TREE ——S) Al oe Hien al Zibgbeeeel’ g 2 cearite. 2) PE eefe gy qe) Tl bia i gol & F = fa | =< pa efi id re F a; il, ae @ ot i . i TSIWE yee ee EGEl! a ea t AAI A Ai eae: ne ae oe ey Deniaaee ae Hi Hs; He a F a? ae ilammaiains=ibttielasatoruaide oemnsaibiontic isabel race Sree bs +] | Ce i> aaa! eee ann S| Hite ae 3 | (erent eee ae Hupp fe Oe ke | Beaetteen eile | oa |p AM og} tt pr ner ae eh ee ba] 9 8 OEE Bee: a8 ap nN at re | B a Hauer ‘ ‘yea Hi ir tn ae ag : .
