Mitchell War With Goff It was a generally accepted policy of the Coidge Administration to limit Negro appointments to one person per State. The able and unrestrained Recorder of Deeds, Froe well filled the West Virginia quota in the 1924 primaries. Mr. Froe supported it in her defeat; the unsuccessful campaign of Senator D. Garfield in State. If the election campaign Froe worked for Goff. Mr. Charles E. Mitchell was with Senator Goff in the primary. The led many to believe that the Gov influence would be effective in eliminating Froe and clearing the way for Mitchell to get the West Virginia race-appointment allotment and there are many who still contend that such explains the reason for the attempt to have Froe superceded her with an Illinois or a Maryland man last Spring. Mr. Froe was re-appealed: No American Negro Wanted. II Secretary Kellogg's Minnesota got four major appointments (certainly not Negroes), surely West Virginia with its formidable Negro office is entitled to more than one. No Negro appointed "Hence Mr. Mitchell's friends got busy; they scorned the breastworks, with the Haytian portfolio as the objective They called upon influence the posessor of which, in the language of the streets, "should come through." This possessor did—with the information that the Republic of Havana does not want an American Negro or its capital as "Minister Plenipotentiary, etc., etc." And, forasmuch as it would be gratuitous violation of long "established diplomatic usages to name a person as Minister to a county which doesn't want one of that person's race, what is there for the Administration to do? Nothing, assuredly!" If Hayagi doesn't want life he could not be sent to China, berna, Guatemala, Patagonia, Romania, Costa Rica, Equatoria, gora, Wyoming or Leavenworth! And that's that. So neither Mr. Mitchell, who has just returned from a world's visit with Mrs. Mitchell, nor any other affine, honorable colored person. Dr. Perry W. Cheney of 200 Wes 135th street is in trouble again, this time, as the result of an auto accident near the corner of 145th Street and Eighth avenue Sunday afternoon, December 26. Dr. Cheney was driving north on 145th street when his car collided with that of H. Pinchus of 1410 Wythe place, the Bronx. The two drivers stepped out and argued, then flips were struck. Soon a white, passessy joined Pinchus, and a cooped man took the doctor's side. In a few minutes there was a free for all right with several of each race in the fences. According to, witnesses John Torsey, stabbed driver of 1314 Riverside Drive, was one of those who took a hand and then he struck Dr. Cheney, the doctor who have drawn attention to the abused Torsey, the side puncturing his lung.

When the case came up before Magistrate Rosebloom in the Heights Court on Monday, the doctor was released in $4,000 bail and the case will be given a hearing on January 5. According to 165 friends, several white men attacked Dr. Cheney after he had gotten out of his car, and he used his knife, in self defense. About this same time last year Dr. Cheney was in court. He had one of his former patients, an alleged friend, Mrs Elaine Douglas, arrested on a charge of felonious assault, saying she had threatened his life with a gun. Mrs. Douglas filed a counter charge against the doctor, alleging intimate relations, and that the doctor had borrowed $8,000 from her, which he did not return to a civil action for the return of this money, a jury awarded her a verdict for the full amount, and this verdict was up by the Appellate Division of the Court of Appeals. Harlene Hospital reports that Torrey was stabbed is not in a serious condition and that he will probably be discharged within the week. Happy With Big Christmas Dinners. Editor Fred Moore In Center.

Keep up the good work, my friend, and history will someday record, that Fred-R. Moore was in reality a St. Patrick in Harlem—New York City. Wishing you continued health and success. (From $ _{0} $ The Star of Zion, Charlotte, N. C.) The evolution of The New York Age from a negligible sheet of circulation and influence to its present high estate is an interesting study. T. Thomas Fortune made its columns bristle with pungent and pertinent editorial comment, and first brought The Age to national prominence and distinction. Fred R. Moore, the present editor, wields a facile and forceful pen, and easily holds The Age in the front rank of Negro journals. The Age is the most eagerly sought after among all our exchanges, and the Star of Zion its older sister, fe- licitates it upon its fortieth anniversary, as upon the remarkable strides it has made in mechanical as well as in literary improvements.

Mrs. Ford had just entered the hall on her way to visit her sister, who has an apartment on the first floor. She screamed, but the man ran to the street, and made his getaway. It is said that the parse contained a large sum of money. This is about the fourth time that wives have been robbed and parses guarded from them in that same neighborhood during the past month. The parses contained from two cents to considerable sums. One woman, who had saved about four hundred dollars earned by frozing in a laundry was robbed by two men. One of the men came to the apartment of the woman in the same 15th street neighborhood, and said that he wanted to rent a room for his sister. He said he liked the room and would return later with his sister. He returned, accompanied by another man, who held a gun on her while the first man went to the bed and took her life, saving from under the mattress. The police advise that people cannot be too careful about carrying large sums of money, or admitting strangers to their apartments.

C German Visitor In Harlem, Piloted By Police Officials, Writes German Paper Uncomplimentary Story About The Negro Article In Munich Illustrated Press Shows Signs of Studied Attempt To Disparage Race Through Emphasizing A Distorted Idea Of Life In Harlem After Nightfall Just how the Negro in New York is apt to be regarded by the visiting European who tours New York under official escort is shown by an article published in the December 1st, 1926, "Munchner Illustrierte Presser (Munich Illustrated Press), Germany, written by Dr Alfred Ralfield, who was one of a party of German visitors in New York sometime during the past fall, and who was escorted through Harlem by a group of high police officials. The party stopped at corner of avenue and 138th street, where Traffic Officer Reuben Carter is on daily, duty, and Dr. Haffield took photographs of Officer Carter, of the west sidewalk on block from 135th to 136th streets, of a group of colored children at play, and a group of colored laborers at midday lunch. As an evidence of the menu attitude with which Dr. Haffield garbled these citizens of a country whose guest he was, literal translations of the inscriptions printed under the photographs iff the German party are given. Officer 'Cartier,' a splendid tie of physical manhood, standing 6 feet, 2 inches, with hand upraised directing the never-ending traffic at this busy carer, is labelled: 'The Black Traffic Policeman—he has the self-consciousness of his white comrade.' Five colored labours, in overalls and rubber boots, seated on knees and huge water-pipes, sitting there on mealt inspires the next: 'Alto, hard work it's good to rest—also one for the Negro!' The photo showing the slewalker includes a number of men and women, as is always, the case of this corner, and conspicuous at age of nearest curb to the picture table was someone's little pet white space. So the German doctor describes it group "A white dog among the black." The fourth picture is that of four attractive little, kids, white bright-framed faces, who are enjoying themselves propelling a homemade box car along the pavement, and the visitors try to be facctions by saugn! "So youn and already black!" The test of the article, "Das New yorker. Stadtvierd Harlem—Dl Niger-Metropole the Welt," ("Thi Harlem District of New York—Thi Negro Metropolis of the World") is written in a vairt in comports with the inscriptions under the picture. For the translation of this article The Age is indebted to Mrs. Catherine A. Lathamer, assistant librarian of the West 135th street branch, New York Public Library, in charge of the Department of Micro History and literature. The article reads as follows: "Northerly from flanked by elevated highs by dirty Italy and by the busy Y eastern Europe, metropolis, between streets, there has a course of about the most interesting place Harlem is no oracle Every larger city is a district, so there are about that.

Those present regarded this as evidence of the great care with which agents and medical examinations alike had selected their prospects and risks. It was a further tribute to the Executive officers who had weeded out the thousands of applicants every undesirable risk. Less than a week after the meeting on Tuesday, December 21, the commissioned telephone notice that Theophilus G. Cooper for Forest avenue, Englewood, New Jersey, insured for $2,000 had died Sunday, December 19. A representative of the company was immediately sent out with death proof papers to be filled out and completed.

TO TEST JIM CROW LAW A suit of farreaching importance was announced as being instituted last week under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to test the validity of the Florida Jim Crow law, which prohibits the use by colored passengers of railroad accommodations set apart for whites within that state. The case is that of Mrs. Bianche S. Brookins who was forced to leave a Pullman sleeper at Palatka last July, was imprisoned and made to pay a fine of five hundred dollars and costs. In her complaint drawn by Arthur Garfield Hayes, a well-known attorney of New York City, Mrs. Brookins charges that on July 18, at Palatka, Fla., she was on a Pullman sleeper, on which she had purchased through accommodations from New York to Orlando, Fla., when a conductor forced her to leave the train because of Florida's "Jim Crow" Law. The writing of this letter is no easy task. I should much prefer that I did not have to be done, were I to heliate, were I to fail to carry on, were I to be ill, if is the only medium through which I may reach you. I must convey to you the impression your needless and needless use of the term 'nigger' made upon the last night. Were you a 'Negro you' could readily draw your own picture of the coffee shop, gratious you would have had up upon you after your enjoyment of an evening of snoozes of inimitable quality. Her Pullman was attached to the Havana Special, operated by the Atlantic Coast Line, Mrs Brookins states, and when the train reached Jacksonville a conductor demanded that she leave the Pullman. She declined to do so, and the following day, at Palatka, officers were summoned who forcibly ejected her. Mr. Hayes declared that this was a case of inhuman treatment, with which all who are conversant with the jimrow practices of Southern railroads will agree. He further claimed that since Mrs. Brookins was a passenger in interstate commerce and therefore not subject to the provisions of the Florida law, the defendants, the Atlantic Coast Line and the Pullman Company, violated their contracts as common carriers in their treatment of Mrs. Brookins Cooperating with him in this case is Clarence Darrow of Chicago, whose services in the Detroit defence case, will long be remembered. Damages are demanded by Mrs. Brookins on four causes of action, aggregating twenty-five thousand dollars. The importance of this action is in the effort to define the responsibility of common carriers in keeping their contracts in interstate commerce, despite conflicting state laws. The Interstate Commerce Commission has studiously avoided a ruling on this subject, although it is empowered to deal with passenger matters as well as freight. It is for the courts of the United States to decide whether, a state law can override a contract entered into by a common carrier and legal under the United States regulation of railroads. There would seem to be no equity in allowing the carrier to charge passengers for freightless accommodations and then neglecting or refusing to turn them because of a law of the state. It is time that a court of competent jurisdiction should be called upon to decide this matter. Mr. is of sufficient importance to the travelling public, to justify the action instigated by the National Association.

That accustomed that southern Senator of abusing it? HEAVEN IS WHERE YOU FIND IT. In the Opportunity magazine, for December, Kelly Miller asked the question, Where is the Negro's Heaven? and then proceeded to answer it to his own satisfaction by locating it in Washington. His initial reason for this designation was attributed to a remark made by Senator John Sherman of Ohio, many years ago before Emancipation, based upon the exceptional advantages and advancement of the colored people of the national capital. Although Washington has now fallen from the first to third or fourth place as to its Negro population, New York having the first Prof Miller stoutly maintains that the Washington Negro occupies a unique place in the scheme of race relationship, which gives its group a peculiar and far-reaching social significance. Prof Miller dismisses the claims of Harlem to be the Negro Heaven by saying that the two hundred thousand Negroes of New York in the midst of six million whites have no more social significance than a single apple in a half bushel basket. He says that the metropolitan city plods its way unconscious of the relative handful of Negroes and unconcerned about them. He falls entirely to note the fact that this is because they are a part and parcel of the great web of city life and movement. I am happy it was my good fortune to be present. No power in stored in the spoken word to make me sow my head. I write only to register my disappointment of you. The test of a man's greatness is, I believe, found in the measure respect he entertains for his fellowmen. Sincerely yours. Editor of The New York Age I am very much, in favor of the Negro race patronizing their own in every possible way. As our ministers from the pulpit urge us to patronize our own instead of spending our money with the other race. But when our business people segregate against their own, how much more should we expect the whites to segregate against them. Last summer during my vacation in Newport, R.I. I was in college, and I had to take the hair after套着 my hair and coat. I insured the price. The reply was, We charge you, nothing, we cater only to white people. What are we to ask when confrum During the night they stopped at the hut of a Negro eight miles from West Point and awakened the occupants. Demanding that they be allowed to search the house, they were, admitted, and found that the Negro boy, Ransom, aged 14 years old, was the only male occupant of the cabin, Ramon from man in the arch of jungle in the north of the plaza, according to the story told to the governor's office by the sheriff. In fact, Ransom held the lamp, of the white man, could take their search under the beds, and through the cabin. When every corner of the Negro cabin had been examined, the man wanted was not found, and the gang was about to depart, when one of the gang turned to the man to mark: "We're just got to get one niger, anjaw, and fired on the Negro, killing him." The sheer it has the names of two members of the party and they have given him the name of the man who they say, fired the shot which killed the boy. The governor has been reward for the arrest of the suspect. But there the story ends—not. Whether it will have a sequel is another matter! Feeding The Infant The baby should be fed mother's milk.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1927 HIGH POINTS OF 1928 In a review of the happenings of the past year so far as the Negro is concerned, the most striking feature is the growing importance accorded the race as a factor in the value of literature and art. The number of books written by and about Americans of African descent has steadily increased and the new point of the authors has grown broader and bolder. More writers have dealt with the rise and progress of the African at home and abroad, some as a specialized scientific study and others from the popular new point of the masses. In all this discussion and analysis of aims and motives, the Negro has not been unattractive. He has had spokesman of his own race who have written with knowledge and authority of the race and its development along various lines. In the departments of poetry and music similar strides have been made and Negro artists and singers have received greater recognition as the interpreters of special phases of their art. Their performances have been given under more dignified auspices than ever and the singing of animals and the representation of dramas involving racial motives has received an unprecedented degree of critical comment and popular favor. This is the more remarkable in that the latest portraits of the Negro in literature and on the stage have departed from the conventional jattern of former years and revealed a race of human entities, possessing the same innate virtues and vices shared by the rest of humanity. The result has been to deni the Negro as a man and not as a mere animal with human traits. This belated recognition of the qualities of manhood and womanhood has not only characterized much of the literary discussion of which the Negro has been the subject, but it has entered into industrial and political relations. In politics there has been a growing tendency toward political independence on the part of Negro voters especially in the Northern and Western States. There has been a decrease in the power of party names and shibboleths to fool thinking voters into supporting candidates who are indifferent to the redemption of party pledges. The Negro voters are inclining toward the policy of supporting those candidates who give them a square deal regardless of party labels. In the industrial world the effect of the forced migration of Negro workers from southern fields to Northern factories is still manifest. Deserted plantations and farms in various parts of Georgia, South Carolina and other Southern States testify to the effects of continued harsh treatment and oppression in driving out the black workers. The cutting off of European immigration during the past few years has opened the gates of Northern industries to many of these migrants from the South. Many of them have made good in adjusting themselves to the more rigorous requirements of their new environment and have been absorbed into the growing populations of such places as Buffalo, Detroit, Pittsburgh and other Northern industrial centers. In the constant agitation for equal enforcement of the laws and the absolute accordance of equal rights under the laws, steady progress is to be recorded despite the apathy of the Republican Congressmen Lynching in more and more stigmatized by the white press as a criminal practice, instead of a harmful eubilition of high spirits and its punishment is demanded by the better class of Southern newspapers. Editors and publicists of this class, however fail yet to perceive or at least acknowledge that the inevitable result of the condoning of lynch law is the creation of communities of murderers. In the legal fight against residential segregation there have been both advances and setbacks with a further hearing of certain cases to be had before a higher court. A movement brought with menace to race interests, and indeed, to the public press generally was the decision of a Kentucky court finding two Negro editors guilty of conspiracy because of their protests against There are hardly any department in government that any grade of industry which the rate is not represented. No part of the city serves them in presence. The Negro is in all the New York schools, either as a teacher or as a pupil without being segregated or as apart because of his color. A Negro is a member of the Civil Service Commission that passes upon the eligibility of all candidates to enter the city's service. The race is represented at election time on the tickets of all parties, Republican, Democratic and Socialist. All religions and creeds in New York number colored adherents in their ranks, including Jews, Seventh Day Adventists and the advocates of Bahamian. The cabarets and night life of Harlem are but a single phase, and a relatively unimportant one of the life of the race in New York. The belief, so naively stated by Prof. Miller, that normal home life and whole social intercourse are incompatible with the occupancy of seven story apartment houses would cause the average New Yorker, black or white, to smile. And those who do not like the close proximity of apartment houses can find plenty of one or two-family houses in the boroughs outside of Manhattan and yet within the borders of the Greater City. Washington has its advantages for well as its disadvantages, which Prof. Miller sets forth fairly and clearly, but he is not so convincing when he holds it out as a sort of terrestrial paradise for the Negro New York with its greater population and more diversified opportunities in every line of endeavor would seem to hold out greater inducements to the aspiring and ambitious youth, who was unmindful of his color and willing to travel on his merits. His course might not always be smooth, but that is true of nearly all beginners in all paths of life. Still, if he is active and persistent, he will get somewhere, even if it is not the goal he first decided upon. The Heaven that any race or any individual arrives at in this mundane sphere is usually where he finds it. TO TEST JIM CROW LAW. A suit of farreaching importance was announced as being instituted last week under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to test the validity of the Florida Jim Crow law, which prohibits the use by colored passengers of railroad accommodations set apart for whites within that state. The case is that of Mrs. Blanche S. Brookins who was forced to leave a Pullman sleeper at Palatka last July, was imprisoned and made to pay a fine of five hundred dollars and costs. In her complaint, drawn by Arthur Garfield Hayes, a well-known attorney of New York City, Mrs. Brookins charges that on July 18, at Pajatka, Fla., she was on a Pullman sleeper, on which she had purchased, through accommodations from New York to Orlando, Fla., when a conductor forced her to leave the train because of Florida's "Jim Crow" Law. The Negroes of the country stand in somewhat the same relation to the Republican party as do the farmers of the West. They have reason to feel that the party has repudiated its pledges and neglected to fulfill its obligations as defined in its platforms and voiced by its leaders. There has been but little outside of faff words on the part of President Coolidge to inspire confidence or support. They could view with satisfaction the candidacy of such a man as the former Governor of Illinois, whose record in that office showed a disposition toward fairplay and evenhanded justice. This was notable in his handling of the strained situation that followed close upon the race riots in Chicago. If Mr. Coolidge does not force a renomination at the hands of the officeholders and the delegates whom they control, the likelihood is that ex-Governor Lowden will lead as the next Presidential possibility. The party might go further and fare a great deal worse. Her Pullman was attached to the Havana Special, operated by the Atlantic Coast Line, Mrs. Brookins states, and when the train reached Jacksonville a conductor demanded that she leave the Pullman. She declined to do so, and the following day at Palatak, officers were summoned who forcibly ejected her. Mr. Hayes declared that this was a case of inhuman treatment, with which all who are conversant with the jimcrow practises of Southern railroads will agree. He further claimed that since Mrs. Brookins was a passenger in interstate commerce and therefore not subject to the provisions of the Florida law, the defendants, the Atlantic Coast Line and the Pullman Company, violated their contracts as common carriers in their treatment of Mrs. Brookins Cooperating with him in this case is Clarence Darrow of Chicago, whose services in the Detroit defence case will long be remembered. Damages are demanded by Mrs. Brookins on four causes of action, aggregating twenty-five thousand dollars. The importance of this action is in the effort to define the responsibility of common carriers in keeping their contracts in interstate commerce, despite, conflicting state laws. The Interstate Commerce Commission has studiously avoided a tuling on this subject, although it is empowered to deal with passenger matters as well as freight. It is for the courts of the United States to decide whether a state law can oyetride a contract entered into by a common carrier and legal under the United States regulation of railroads. There would seem to be no equity in allowing the carrier to charge passengers for firstclass accommodations and then neglecting or refusing to furnish them because of a law of the state. It is time that a court of competent jurisdiction should be called upon to decide this matter. It is of sufficient importance to the travelling public to justify the action instigated by the National Association. HEAVEN IS WHERE YOU FIND IT. In the Opportunity magazine, for December, Kelly Miller asked the question, "Where is the Negro's Heaven?" and then proceeded to answer it to his own satisfaction by locating it in Washington. His initial reason for this designation was attributed to a remark made by Senator John Sherman of Ohio, many years ago before Emancipation, based upon the exceptional advantages and advancement of the colored people of the national capital. Although Washington has now fallen from the first to third or fourth place as to its Negro population. New York having the first, Prof. Miller stoutly maintains that the Washington Negro occupies a unique place in the scheme of race relationship, which gives its group a peculiar and far-reaching social significance. Prof. Miller, dismisses the claims of Harlem to be the Negro Heaven by saying that the two hundred thousand Negroes of New York in the midst of six million whites, have no more social significance than a single apple in a half bushel basket. He says that the metropolitan city plods its way unconsciously of the relative handful of Negroes and unconquered. About them, He falls entirely to note the fact that this is because they are a part and parcel of the great web of city life and movement; Talking about industrial education, the Jacksonville Florida Braithwaite said. The father, we go into the problems which make modern life so complex the larger floor, the personality, and the work of Booker T. Washington, Training men to life into a particular industry predicators is what Washington did down the aisle for the social life from which the masses suffer. The idea thus arising was directed mainly to Negroes. Being thus directed and being now and misunderstood, it gave off to Negroes. Even while the industrial education program. There have come forth white vocational schools agricultural schools technological schools all over the south and in many sections of the north. Since Booker T. Washington's time and largely from his wisdom he have been trained to the trades and made them not only their study but their life's work. Negroes have gradually lost ground and dollars in their native heath. We were slow to grasp the idea because it came from On Saturday evening, December 18 at the annual bar dinner of the Appellate Division, Martin W. Littleton spoke. Preceding him came Judge Dowling of the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court; Judge Clarke, justice of the Appellate Division, Judge Dawley, justice of the Appellate Division, Judge Sullivan, Mr. Littleton spoke as a representative of the Bar, said in his remarks book occasion to denounce those people in high places who carelessly criticize our Courts and their method. He said that the States Senate to an attack made on one of the District Courts in which two men had very recently been acquitted, and that the man who made the attack was a United States Senator. He maintained that the attack upon him made because the Senator was protected by the right of privilege. Then he added: "But how can we expect any more from a man who first forsakes he became? Senators spent his time shooting unarmed Niggers, using unarmed rifles, to kill him." The dinner, was a divided by about 140 members of the Bar, Association, one of whom took Mr. Attleton to talk before leaving the building and then addressed to him this follow up letter: New York, December 19, 1926 Munich, December 19, 1926 149 Broadway, New York My dear Mr. Littleton: The writing of this letter is no easy task. I should much prefer that it did not have to be done, yet we were I to hesitate, we were I to fail to carry on, I would have no peace with myself. This is the only medium through which I may reach your needles and heedless use of the term 'nigger,' made upon me last night. Were you a Negro you could readily draw your own picture of the coffe so gratuitous an insultly bourn by browns and blacks, you could after your enjoyment of an evening of speeches of inimitable quality. I had gone to the Biltmore Hotel to the annual-bar dinner of the New York County Lawyers Association, in high school. The bar was empty, so I wasek was enough to fill me with keen anticipation. After listening to Judge Dowling, Judge Clarke and the peerless Judge Cardozo, I had come to appreciate that my expectations were so be more than realized. I asked your speech. So often I had heard you described as one of the luminaries of our great profession. I was more than anxious to hear you, I leaned forward to catch each pencil and you fired your insult into my face. I am not superensitive. There are many terms you must not take the term 'nigger' without taking exception. But this was not one of those occasions. There were, so many terms, you might have used. There were mary ways you might have avoided offending any of your rait listeners. I wonder why you would a southerner. But big men outgrow sectional limitation. wonder if there were not present white men and women who felt, as I did, that you too had taken the same advantage of privilege and abused it, as you so rightfully knew that southern Senator of abusing. RJ I am happy it was my good fortune to be present. No power is stored in the spoken-word to make me sow my head. I write only to register my disappointment of you. The test of a man's greatness is, I believe, found in the measure of respect he entertains for his fellowmen. Sincerely yours, WILLIAM L. PATTERSON Patronizing Race Business Editor of The New York Age Editor of the New York age are very much like us. We still maintain their own in every possible way. As our ministers from the pulpit urge us to patronize our own instead of spending our money with the other race. But when our business people segregate against their own, how much more should we expect the whites to segregate against them. Last summer during my vacation, R. W. went into a colored shop to geta hair cut. After removing my hat and coat, I inquired the price. The reply was, We charge you; nothing, we cater only to white people. led by a situation such as this, when we are not allowed to patronize our own. I think there should be some way to - remedy a situation such as this, as though discrimination is shown toward the Negro by other races without our own trying to keep pace with these evil demons. Every field of endeavor we have to deal with and when we have an opportunity to establish a business, I think the proprietor should recognize his own whenever they try to patronize him. We will never be successful as we should until we learn to pull, together. Respectfully yours, A. WATKINS Daily News, Greenboro, N. C. This being the season of the year when the world makes an effort to think a little more than at other seasons of the significance of Christmas and when human beings are supposed to have a more kindly disposition to one the other, the Daily News submits the following story which might properly entitled "The Atlanta It comes from Atlanta dispatch to the Columbus Ga. Enquirer-Sun." On December 6th, a Negro man, whose name was not reported to the executive department, is alleged to have shot and killed a white man in a little community in Harrafis County, near West Point. A gang of less than a dozen white men, claiming they were merely going to locate the Negro, who had escaped and was hiding in the town, to find the Negro and turn him over to the sheriff of the county, started out as a self-constituted nose. During the night they stopped as the hut of a Negro eight miles from West Point and awakened the occupants. Demanding that they be allowed to search the house, they were admitted, and found that the Negro boy, Ransom, aged 14 years old, was the only male occupant of the cabin. The jailer in the men in their search of the place, according to the story told to the governor's office by the sheriff in fact, Ransom held the lamp, so the white men could take their search under the beds, and through the cabin. When every corner of the Negro cabin had been examined, the man wanted was not found, and the gang was about to depart, when one of the gang turned to the box, and the gang was not to get one nigger, arrows, and fired on the Negro, killing him. The sheikh has the names of two members of the party and they have given him the name of the man who they say, fired the shot which killed the boy. The governor has been arrested of the shrapen in the arms of the shrapen. But, there the story ends—not. Whether it will have a sequel is another matter. Feeding The Infant The baby, should be fed mother's milk. The infant need by his mother has ten times this chance of living that one has who's fed cow's milk or any other. The child should be fed regularly—every 3 or 4 hours as your doctor advises and on one or not at night. The important thing is regularity and not every time they eries. He may be crying because his stomach is full. The baby's mouth should be wash carefully after feeding. How many parents unwittingly harm their babies because they insist upon dogs with them after they are to play with them; to body them to any body in baby immediately after feeding. Let him sleep. Regular feeding isowed by sleepy will not induce indigestion. Perhaps it never occurs. You may suffer an indigestion, as well as you. Between fetches, give baby one. Between fetches, give baby four. Four ounces water a day should be about right. Only boiled water should be used. The first preference for the mother to follow is to give water by doctor who she may know that the infant doing well. The mother should give any mediations without the use of medications without the use of medications. Last Saturday was primary election day in Houston, when candidates for mayor four city commissioners and city council were nominated by the voters, by all qualified voters except those of ebony city and Africa descent. He held and styled as a pary; primarily in which only white democrats attended to participate, this primary election is. He was a tantamount to an election; and the副代表 ceremony, which will take place during April of 1927, is merely perfunctory. In connection with this "white major" primari" a $1,500,000 bond issue for port improvements was also balloted on by the voters of Houston and the entire district and in this bond election any qualified elector could vote.

Pastor Baldwin said, It is said by authority, and such matters, that the authenticity of the four gospels, and the validity of the story concerning the Virgin Birth of our Lord Jesus the Emmanuel, has produced more controversy, but the conflict has lasted longer than any event in human history. The place of His Birth, the reality and the announcement of angels; the assumption of the firstborn from the earth, has made known unto them the Lord who made Himself our Lord the Emmanuel, Star in the East and who, made the long perilous journey, across the desert, guided by the ocellus knowledge of the relation of heavenly bodies that make us aware of events, in human his history, are each and all of them, objects of contention, the same as they were a few centuries immi day. 8 p. m.

GET THE ORIGINAL FRENCH 6 A Bad Year For Colored Athletes A year just closing will be remembered as one which saw the collapse of prominent colored athlete. Foremost of these was HRKry Wills, who died late too long in his watchful waiting campaign for a bout with Dempsey. Advancing age and idleness were responsible for Wills' decision. Jack Sharkey and his subsequent retirement from boxing also gave the rise and fall of Tiger Flowers. After seven years of competition, Flowers won the middleweight championship of the world, only to his little talent from him before the year was out. It is unlikely that he will give in at return. Both with Minkey Walker, the present champion, and the tool is getting along in years, his retirement is expected. In 1927, another prominent fighter of the colored race that started off the decline in 1926 was Chick Sugar bahamweight champion of New England. After getting almost to the top of the ladder, Sugar was beaten in New York. the toes get along in years, his retirement is expected in 1947, another prominent fighter of the colored race that started on the decline in 1926 was Chick Suggs battantweight champion of New England. Affetting almoar to the top of the ladder, Suggs was beaten in New York. Anny Graham, and later in Boston by Honeybay Finegan, like Willis Flowers, he made money and saved it, and is also expected to retire be 1927 to begin professional baseball also experienced a bad year. The breakdown and remission of Andrew Huba Foster, founder and president of the National Baseball League (the name given the western professionals) was a sory to that organization. Internal strife and the withdrawal of the Lincoln team from the Eastern Colored League has so crippled this organization that a mooted question, whether they can survive the 1927 season, Had the John Connors lived, he would have been prepared to put a team in the air to take the place left vacant by the Lincolns but since his death no one deserves of entering the field with a team from New York. Denfert Hepburn is the only national champion the colored race has left in athletics, partly because of the failure of Cecil Cook to defend his 440 title. With the possible exception of Gus Moore, the year saw the delgation of no outstanding colored track star. Basketball, the principal winter sport in New York, advanced very little ring. 1926. The old athletic clubs—St. Christopher, Alpha and the Spartan eld. Club—which populated the sport, are less active than ever and the aspects of their reviving the activities of former years are not bright. For collegiate athletics the year was not so discouraging, and yet there are few performances that stand out. The past football season was perhaps most successful in attendance and general interest of any in several years ago, with the return of Lincoln into membership of the C. I. A. A. 1927, should be brighter. Because of the 1928 Olympic games, the outlook in track athletics for 1927 bright, but in other branches of sport there is no telling what the new ear holds for colored athletics. It is not likely that George Godfrey, once considered as a heavyweight championship contender, will he long remembered as a fighter but through his work in "Old Ironsides" he will get a ranking in forefront of colored motion picture actors which will cause him to be remembered for years to come. In this super-Paramount production now playing at the Rivoli Theatre, Godfrey is cast as the colored cook on the bark "Bather," but as the story unfolds it is found that he has one of the principal male roles. With Wallace Berry, George Bancroft and Charles Farrell, he performs some feats of strength and daring which do much to make the picture the thrilling-success it is. The writer saw "Old Ironsides" during the Christmas holidays and never before had he seen a prizefighter make so big a success as a motion picture actor, not excepting the screen work of Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey. The author, Lawrence Stallings, and the director, James Cruse, have reasons to be proud of their discovery of Godfrey, and it is expected they will take care of him in their next big production. The motion picture public should not miss seeing this important historical --- Marion Miller Breaks Own Record for 70-Yd.

The two actors, the same yellow shirt, the same soft hat, with fanny band. They typified MOVIEland. Many more, dressed in similar fashion, were passing into the big pavilion. The similarity of clothing is a signpost of Hollywood. It extends into the studio management and to a large extent into the pictures produced—this similarity of uniformity. The producers are constantly fighting to win the Mary Pickford is one of them. Miss Pickford never tries to do what is in vogue at the time. She never does a certain type of story because it, seems the "thing" to do. Mary Pickford picks her sereen vehicles, as carefully as a man, picks his first automobile. "First the story must be clean and wholesome, entertaining but interesting old and young must be interesting old and young must be interesting old and young must be filling these requirements, and is what is known as good "screen material" she is very likely to accept it.

EUGENE MARS MARTIN, VIOLINIST AND DIRECTOR MARTIN-SMITH SCHOOL, DIES FROM HEART DISEASE IN EARLY MORNING Just on the threshold of what promised to be a notable musical career, embracing also the carrying on of the splendid institution founded by his late father, Eugene Mars Martin, violinist, director of the Martin-Smith Music School, just past his 22nd birthday, was stricken with a fatal heart attack that took him without warning or premonition, putting an abrupt stop to his physical activities Just a year and ten months ago, young Martin slipped away from family and friends and was married to the pretty young sweetheart of his boyhood days, Miss Bertha Price, and this union had been blessed with two sweet little babies. The youngest one was just two weeks old, and about 8 o'clock on the morning of Thursday, December 23, the proud young father-arose and went to light the gas range that milk might be heated for his infant's matutinal nourishment Engaged in the performance of this task of love, there came, like the flash of lightning from a clear sky, the sable angel's bolt of death, and Eugene Mars Martin had ended his activities here to enter into the sphere of celestial endeavor Born in 1904, Eugene started the study of music at the age of three, his father being his tutor. Persistent application carried him on his appointed way, until he had graduated from the Damrosch Institute of Musical Art in 1923, and from the DeWitt Clinton High School. From his early boyhood days, his playing of the violin had attracted the interest of critical music hearers, who recognized the breadth and scope of an unusual talent in his offerings. This promise was coming into its full fruition with his physical maturity. His father, David Irwin Martin sr, who founded the Martin-Smith School, having died in August 1923, it was a becoming act by the board of directors to name young Eugene as the one best fitted to take up the work his father had laid down. So he was placed in the responsible position of director and well did he measure up to the task. Enthusiastic and energetic, he bent every energy to perpetuating and developing the work, and it is probably to this ambition that his early death is due. For, according to report, it is said that his physician had warned him some months ago to curb his endeavors and slacken the tension of his efforts. And his failure to heed the warning has brought its consequent result. Death occurred in his apartment in the Martin-Smith School building, 139 West 136th street. The funeral service was held Sunday, December 20, from St Philip's P E Church, the Rev Hutchens C Bishop rector, officiating, and interment was in Woodford Cemetery, where his father is buried. He is survived by the widow, Mrs Bertha Price Martin, and two babies, his mother, Mrs Gertrude H Martin, a brother, David Irwin Martin 2nd, and a sister, Miss Gertrude F Martin. --- The outstanding feature of Mon day night's radio program was the singing of Paul Robeson, accompanied by Lawrence Brown, as soloist on the Philharmonic Orchestra program, directed by Henry Hadley. Of Mr. Robeson's singing, Stuart Hawkins (Chamber), the Herald Tribune radio cobber, said: "Nod from his singing of Negro Spirituals, Mr. Paul Robeson attrac- ted interested attention as soloist with Henry Hadley's Orchestra at WJ/ last night by the rich depth of his speaking voice. A rare basso among annuals." Mr. Robeson lent much staid dur- dance to his performance.

ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM The colored musicians of Harlem are now being forced to learn and follow the principle of discipline and the merits of organization, a lack of which has for years been their holdback and undoing. Local 802, A F. M., has appointed Mr. M. H Minton as delegate to the organization, and among his duties is the right to attend all engagements played by members, examine their financial cards, and see that all the men engaged in the job are members of 802, or properly affiliated through a transfer card. This has long been a burning question in Harlem, as musicians from other towns, not unionized, would drop into New York and get work to the exclusion of union members so entitled. Leaders would hire such non-union men repeatedly, ignoring the rules, and causing endless dissatisfaction among union members fully qualified to play their work. The non-union members would write back to his home town and his musician friends would come over to New York. This threatened to swamp local talent. Complaints were so loud and numerous that the president of Local 802 (Mr. Canavan), as mentioned above, appointed Mr. Minton. Having known Mr. Minton for upwards of ten years, I believe a better selection could not have been made for a fair, square and impartial officer one who will do his work to the interest of both vides, and maintain the respect and dignity due to the office of delegate. His most rabid detractors will concede to Mr. Minton's honesty and fearlessness, essential attributes to his office. He has caused many musicians to become financial in the union, and has also caused many who have been working regularly to join the Local, as leaders who used to employ them gave them warning to "get right," as they, the Mr. Minton is the first colored man in New York to be appointed to such a post. And, strange as it may seem, some narrow-visioned leaders have tried to ignore his authority until brought to their senses by union officials. They were told that Mr. Minton "was appointed by the union, and would be backed by all the power of the Union and to the last dollar in the treasury." This statement was made to a leader in a Harlem hall, with the closing admonition: "Now tell him (Mr. Minton), what he wants to know, and then "Mr. Wise-Guy" had to, in the presence of the official, give Minton the information previously refused. Yet, we are yelling for our rights! Can you beat it? This is a Season of Fellowship and Good Feeling. Brother Musicians, let us unite, not only for this, but for all time, striving for Unity, Harmony in every sense, and Good Will towards each other.
