Charles E. Mitchell of West Virginia Is The Perennial, But Not Popular, Candidate For The Monrovian Post—Will He Get It?
By R. B. LEMUS
Washington, D. C.—Just when it seemed that the Coolidge Administration had nicely eased out of the Liberian ministerial annoyances by promotion of a colored gentleman from the Consular service—who was quickly confirmed by the hard-boiled Senate—the confirmed promotete declined the honor; and now the President, like the Emperor Jones—Liberiany speaking—after rambling around in the woods all night is right back where he started.

tion the Liberian ministerial of a colored gentleman frie-
who was quickly confirmate-
ate—the confirmed prom-
and now the President, in
Liberiaiy' speaking—after
woods' all night is right be-
dr. James G. Carter was the
confirmed grammote, and though of
the Consular service, is as much
of a diplomat, as the gentleman
trained to say so much and mean
so little. He did no talking for
publication. Obviously, much effec-
tively stated seeking to con-
strict his acceptance of the ob-
sylvatic assigning to the West
African Republic withoutless.
Reason For His Preference.
It is not difficult to understand why Mr. Carter prefers the service in which he has served for twenty years, and achieved a definite worthwhile status and excellent reputation, to the uncertainties imposed by the vicissitudes of present day National Negro politics incidental to the decline in power and influence of the Presidency of the United States, and Negro failure to develop strong state organizations such as obtain solely in West Virginia.
The Liberian mission, however, will not go a begging. Mr. Carter's obvious abhorrence of Liberia is in inverse ratio to that of Charles E. Mitchell of West Virginia, efficient business manager of this State's splendid Collegiate Institute, near Charleston, in which city is the bank of which Mr. Mitchell is president. Mr. Mitchell has left undone nothing that an honorable man could, have done in his quest for the Liberian portfolio-except his deliberate and torture failure to train with his West Virginia (and all other) people while encumbered of the management of the colored end of the Colliage campaign at New York in 1924.
Mitchell's Qualifications.
This gentleman still has an eye on Montreal where, because of his excellent financial state, he could easily maintain his Legation in style and comfort. Moreover, Mr. Mitchell is a certified public accountant—officially so of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, "alphabetical order"; was a member (without, pay) of the Virgin Islands Commission, whose investigation went a long way toward guiding Congress in conferring citizenship upon these Islanders; has little in common with missionaries, tends to economic imperialism and fully demonstrated in his dealings with Negro newspapers, speakers and field workers at Republican National eastern headquarters in 1924 that he is for "America first." So this person is ideally and preeminently, fitted for the Iberian post.
What he doesn't get it. Why? What's the reason?
It has been so long and often used and never denied that it would not be the policy of President Condegice to give two major Federal appointments to the same man until it virtually becomes the

CUTS GIRL'S HEAD OFF; LEAPS FROM WINDOW TO DEATH
Double Tragedy Follows Quarrel Between Common-Law Couple
With her head almost severed from her body, Miss May Morris 32, staggered down four flights of stairs and dropped dead on the sidewalk in front of 121 West 44th street, shortly after 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, April 15.
Five minutes later officers had followed the trail of blood to the apartment which had been occupied by Lisa Morris and Nat Wiley. The two men were demanding admittance. As they forced the door and entered, Wiley went-through a window in the dining room and landed on his head in the courtyard below. His head was shaken and he died almost instantly. Wiley and the Morris girl had been living as a man and wife and it seems that they had a falling out early that morning over some drinks. Wiley. The girl objected strenuously and Wiley is alleged to have beaten her up. She told him she was going to have him locked up, two detectives from the West 135th Street and apparently adjusted the difference between the couple. Later the quarrel started again and this time Wiley completely 16st his temper, grabbed a kitchen knife and hacked the girl's throat several times before she could escape.
Jumped To His Death
Jumped to His Patrolman Charles Williams of the 16th Precinct was walking his beat at the time and rushed to the scene. Following the bloody trail, it led him to the fifth floor apartment, where he found the door opened, and Detectives Burns, Duane Bransfield and Coogan, who were in the neighborhood and the officers were soon battering their way into the apartment. Just as they entered, Wiley wreched upon the door opening in the court yard below. He was a native of New Orleans, and was employed as a waiter in a restaurant on West 42nd Street, going to his death in the court yard below. Wiley was a native of New Orleans, and was employed as a waiter in a restaurant on West 42nd Street, going to his death in the court yard below.

Spencer, 63 years old, once a world famous jockey, and for the past 14 years head groom at the State Veterinary College at Cornell University, died at Ithaca Memorial Hospital from pneumonia on April 6, 2014, at the residence of Ithaca for the past 30 odd years, coming here as head coachman for the late William H. Sage. He was later employed as coachman for the late Elias Treman, and afterwards by Teuman's sons. Spencer became coachman for the State College at Cornell in 1914, but continued in the Treman service. Before coming to Ithaca, Mr. Spencer had won fame in the racing world, having served for many years as Steeplechase jockey in the employ of Foxhall Keene, one of the world's greatest race drivers. Mr. Spencer made two trips around the world, was especially well known in the sport of steeplechasing in Europe in years gone by. Unusual services were held Saturday at M. E. Zion Church, the Rev. H. W. Morrison, pastor, officiating. Interment was at Lake View Cemetery. The late Mr. Spencer was active fraternally, being a member of the Grand United Order of Odd Peasons, the N.J. College Jockey No. 30, Knights of Pythias and the Forest City Lodge of Elks.
He is survived by: one son, Frank, jr., who served with distinction in the world war; two nieces, Mrs. Marion Daniels and Mrs. John Daniels; Hortt Bott of New York City; and a host of other relatives and friends. Mrs. Daniels and two sons, and Mrs. "Harris," with her husband and daughter, came from New York to attend the funeral services.
CHANGE IN DATE
NEGRO BUSINESS
LEAGUE MEETING
To Assemble At St. Louis
Week Earlier, August
10, 11 and 12
The annual session of the National Negro Business League will be held in St. Louis August 10, 11 and 12th instead of August 17, 18 and 19th as originally announced. The change in date was recently decided upon at a special meeting of League officers held at Tuskegee Institute. President Abernathy of the local League at St. Louis asked that the National session be put forward one week, as Supreme Chancellor Green of the, Knights of Pythias was desirous that the dates of the two organizations not conflict. The head of the Knights of Pythias has assured League officials that a large delegation of Pythians will visit St. Louis before going to Chicago to attend the grand conclave.
RENT COLLECTOR IS SUBJECT OF SERIOUS CHARGES Widow of Baseball Player Says Man Insulted Her When Collecting
Haled into the 7th District Municipal Court on dispossess warrants twict (both in March and April for non-payment of rent, Mrs. Mamie Pettus, of 51 West 139th street widow of the late William Pettus famous ballplayer, formerly manager of the Army, and a member of the Lincoln Giants, asserts that her 'being taken to court is a retaliatory measure taken by a reft collector' whose improper advances were indigently made. Pettus says she has been a tenant of the apartment for fourteen years, and that she is paying $38 for five rooms, sharing the apartment with a cousin and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Clover Robinson. Four months ago, she says, the apartment building ownership was changed, being taken over by the Klarbeck Realty Corporation, at which time the old owner, introduced a David Fromhartz as the manager, and that agent, Fromhartz is really the agent.
In March, charges Mrs. Pettus the man called for the rent, and finding her alone in the apartment, made insulting proposals to her, which she not only resented, but ordered not only out of the apartment. The man, she says, then issued a dispossess warrant. When she appeared in court, however, the court dismissed the case upon payment of the
- Got Second Dispossess
In this connection, says Mrs. Pettus, there had been an arrangement, made by the agent, that he called around the 15th of each month to collect the rent, but that in April he appeared on the new landlord's soon, she asked for two days' grace, refusing his request to be allowed admission to the apartment. 'Another dispossession followed, and this time' in addition to paying the rent, the court granted the corporation's request that she be required to pay costs of the property. Mrs. Pettus charges that she is being persecuted by the agent, not only for refusing to accede to his amorous and illicit impulses, but also because, having occupied the apartment for so long a period, she is paying a lower rent that she has paid to new tenants in similar agreements, are paying $60 a month as against her $38.

Flushing, Long Island, N. Y.
Additional interest has been given the controversy concerning the local Y. M. G. A's policy of discrimination against colored youth written to the editor of the Flushing Evening Journal by Willford I. King of 76 South 23rd street, one of the leading white citizens of this town, in which he declares the courtry and consideration to others who are, perhaps, less fortunately placed.
Mr. King is economist for the National Bureau of Economic Research was secretary and prior to that a professor of economics and statistics at the University of Wisconsin, for seven years.
A Shgmeful Thing
Concerning the Y. M. C. A. attitude toward colored boys, Mr King-writes the Flushing Evening Journal as follows. Editor, Flushing Evening Journal: "It is a fine thing to teach a boy prider in his race—pride in his family. It is a shameful thing, however, not to teach him at the same time to show courtesy and consideration to persons of other races. It is a shameful speciality to those less fortunately placed than himself. He should learn early in life that snobbishness and race-prejudice are always evidences of ill-breeding, ignorance, or little mindfulness, about family or family superiority are nothing but cloaks to hide an inward consciousness of inferiority. "I have a young son for whom I am; of course, ambitious. I hope that, in the Flushing school, he may have the privilege of becoming well acquainted with boys of other types and races—with Jews, Hindos, Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, and Negroes. I hope that each mace has fine qualities—is strong in certain respects.
For Higher Standards
"I trust that he will strive to demonstrate his own superiority in various lines. The schools and the Y. M. C. A. ought to furnish ideal arenas. If he believes himself superseded by the school class, let him show that he can run faster, jump further, throw straighter debate more effectively, attain more scholastic honors, be more courteous and considerate of others, establish higher civic standards for the town council. If he can excel these things, it will be wholly unnecessary for him to prate of his superiority—his conrades will advertise the fact. If, perchance, the victory goes to the boys of other races, the facts will likewise speak for themselves!

Wm. Morgenstern, Once Mgr. of The Lafayette Theatre, Gets'10 Days
William Morgstenen, one time lessee and manager of the Lafayette Theatre, was sentenced to 10 days in the Workhouse by Judge George L. Donnellan in the Court of Special Sessions on Tuesday. Morgstenen was convicted (two weeks ago along with Mae West, author and star of Timony) and taking part in a salacious theatrical performance, Mr. Morgstenen was the producer of the play: James A. Timony, a lawyer and the financial backer for the production, was also sentenced to serve 10 days in the Workhouse and fined $500. Mae West, the author and star, was given a similar sentence to Timony. The rest of the
Dr. Frank C. Caffey, sr., a retired physician, who lived at 205 West 135th street, died, suddenly following a cerebral hemorrhage at 9:45 Wednesday morning, April 20. He was stricken only about 10 minutes before his death. Dr. Binga Diamond was hurriedly summoned. His doctor Caffey was dead when the physician arrived.
The late Dr. Caffey was for many years a faculty member of the geomyery, Ala. So successful was the in his practice he was able to retire at fifty and move to New York. Here he invested his savings in real estate and was one of the wealthiest men in Harlem at the time of his death. Dr. Caffey was 59 years old.

In 1907 he helped to train Jack Johnson for his fight with Jim Jeffries at Reno, Nev., and predicted a victory for Johnson several weeks. He also worked with being the discoverer of "Big Bill" Tate and Godfrey preset day heavyweights.

Conference Is Held With State's Attorney and Exalted Rulers of New York City's Lodges; No Danger Of Changing Grand Lodge Site Uncertainty as to the holding of the forthcoming Grand Lodge of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. in New York City next August 23 is practically dispelled by the committee named by Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson to make an investigation both in Albany and New York City as to what probable effect the Grattan secret order law would have on the meeting of the Negro Elks.
MUST ANSWER TO COURT FOR SALES OF 'CONJURE' CURE Preacher Charged With Selling 'Charms' To Cure Woman's Ills
The Rev. James Williams, reputed to be the leader of a group of worshippers styling themselves the Holy Trinity Church, located at 239 West 148th street, will have to explain to the 12th District Court where he has gotten authority to minister to ills of the body as well as of the soul.
This was brought about through a complaint made, to the police of the 16th Precinct at the 135th street station house by Isaiah Rice of 720, St. Nicholas avenue, who says he paid Rev. Williams $50 for "charms" which would cure Rice's wite, who was sick in Harlem Hospital, of "two big snakes coiled up in her stomach."
Rice told the police that Williams had prescribed as a cure two chicken legs and the left foot for one of a "very special rabbit," and that Williams, "happening" to have these articles, would sell them for $30. When these charms were ineffectual, Williams thought of "more powerful" charms—"lucky dines" at $10 each, to be worn, one in each shoe. The only tangible result from this precription was a case of blistered feet.
Then Rice called in the police
Bottled Remedies for Sale.
Williams was arrested at the 148th street address, and various bottles containing alleged medicinal remedies were seized. One, a 6 ounce bottle, was labeled: "Caperman's Preparation—for internal use. Williams' Square Deal Medical Preparations." Trade Mark. For shortness of breath, etc. Dose: Tablespoonful before meals; Children: Teaspoonful before meals. 239 West 148th street, N, Y." It was reported that Williams charged $4 for this small bottle. Another smaller bottle, holding 4 ounces, was labelled "Red Liniment, Solomon the Great Preparation. For Lumhago, etc." The Age has repeatedly exposed similar fake medical and "charm" propositions, advising its readers that there is no merit in the alleged magical charms and remedies offered for sale by chakhtaats and fake doctors.
Charles A. Calloway of Kansas City, Judge William H. Harrison, of Chicago, Attorney John A. Sparks of Philadelphia, and Attorney Thomas L. Higgins of Brooklyn, were notified in an order signed, by Mr. Wilson and Grand Secretary George E. Bates of Newark to serve as an investigating committee which would proceed to Albany and New York City to ascertain what bearing the law referred to would have on the grand lodge meeting. After making the necessary investigation, the committee was ordered to confer with a group of members of the grand lodge residing in New York City and Brooklyn with Grand Secretary Bates of Newark included and to submit its findings to the grand exalted ruler.
Saw Ottinger's Assistant.
The committee met at Albany-on-April 15, and in the absence of Attorney General Ottinger, held a lengthy conference with Assistant Attorney General Brown, in Mr. Ottinger's office.
After this conference, the committee came to New York City the same day, meeting in the home of Dr. Hudson J. Oliver, exalted ruler of Monarch Lodge; the New York Elks' present being Exalted Ruler Andrew T. Mitchell of Manhattan Lodge: Exalted, Ruler Thomas Brown of Imperial-Lodge; Dr. Oliver; District Deputy David McDaniel; Past Exalted Ruler J. Dalmus; State Representant P. Bradfield and C. M. Henson.
Exalted Ruler Grichlowe of Henry Lincoln Johnson Lodge and District Deputy Walter A. Peterson, named as conferees, were not present.
This conference was in session from 9:30 p.m. to midnight, and adjourned to meet Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock in the 120th street. At this session a formal report was drafted and sent to the grand exalted ruler for his action.
Falso Opposition Rumors.
It was brought out that speculations to the effect that there is strong official opposition to the coming of the grand lodge to New York City are without substantial basis, that the city officials of New York have been in extending a hearts invitation to colored Blikkum; that Mayor Walker and others of his administration have given particular evidence of their desire to accord the grand lodge the freedom of the city; and that there is not the slightest danger of trouble arising from the assembling of the order here. It is renamed that Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson has always been sincere in his approval of New York City as the meeting place of the grand lodge, and that there is no warrant for the rumored assumption that he would welcome an opportunity to move the body elsewhere. Elks are shrouded in confinement of this and are far ahead in making preparations for the great concourse of *Hello Bill*'s who will gather in the country's metropolitan the last week

Seceding Members From Union Bethel Church, Brooklyn, Fail In Court As They Seek Control Of Building Fund Old Church, Pastored By Rev. C. P. Cole, Is Upheld By Kings County Supreme Court In Right To Fund and To Church Control
On Wednesday, April 13, in Part III of the Supreme Court, Kings County, Justice William B. Carswell presiding, the group of former members of Union Bethel A. M. E. Church, Dean street and Schenectady avenue, Brooklyn, the Rev. C. P. Cole, pastor, who seceded and set up another church under the same name, Union Bethel, met with a failure in their attempt to get control of a building fund of about $4.000 which is on deposit in the Brevoort Savings Bank.
The withdrawn members, thus William Smith, treasurer of Union Bethel Church during the pastoral regime of Rev. S. H.. V. Gumbs, Dr. Cole's predecessor, filed a suit in December, 1925, for control of the $4,000 fund, in which the claim was set up that the newly organized church group, "Union Bethel Church," "Union Bethel" church, basing their claim on the charter of the old church, which had been incorporated in 1849 as the "Afrauf Methodist Episcopal Bethel Church, Weekly" which changed, although the church had come to be known as Union Bethel.
Took: The Same Name.
The secretary, Nilfelt Ielt Dr. Cole's congregation, headed by Williams, who was supported by A. S. Bannister, former church clerk, and Charles S. Rhoden, local preacher, with the alleged assistance of the two presiding elders, the Reva S. H. V. Gumbs and Montrose W. Thornton, applied for and received from the Secretary of State papers of the United States and title of "Union-Bethel" Church, and thus tried to reinforce their claim that this was the only legal Union-Bethel, and so was entitled to control of the building fund. This fund it was also brought out, was raised mostly during the pastorates of Rev. Chas' E. Wilson now holding a charge at Trenton, N.J.; and of the Rev. Gumbs (now presiding elder), and the seceding members, were said to have been among the most faithful and of Dr. Gumbs' church workers.
It was claimed also that the new church group was strongly supported by Rev. M. W. Thornton, former pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, Manhattan, who had, along with Dr. Gumbs, been elevated to the presiding eldership. Dr. Thornton caused the old Bethel congregation through Pastor Cole and the church official, to file a complaint with Bishop William H. Heard of Philadelphia, presiding over the First episcopal district, in which the removal of Presiding-Elder Thornton was demanded.
The complaint charged that Dr. Thornton aided and abetted the withdrawn members in taking the name of Union Bethel" and with setting up the church and with encouraging the new church to claim the $4,000 building fund.
Treasurer Took Bank Book.
The story of this latter attempt, as it was brought out before Justice Carswell, showed that when William Smith, then treasurer, left old Union Book, he took with him the bank book of the building fund account. Efforts to recover them proving futile, the trustees of the church applied to the bank for a new book, submitting an affidavit from Bishop Heard to the effect that this group was entitled to manage the affairs of the church. The bank issued a new book, giving custody of the fund to the officers of Rev. Cole's group.
Mr. A. S. Jackson writes from Rutherfordford, N. C. "I would get up mornings and any joints would ache. I would sleep and so stupid. I wouldn't feel like I wanted to work. I 'hair of Black-Draught and how highly it was recommended. It certainly did me good. So good. So now I keep it in the house all time. It keeps me in splendid shape."
Pains in your joints and muscles are often the result of injuries which have been abruptly broken, or of being carried off in a natural manner. These waste products cause a great deal of trouble to many people, and often become found in many cases by accident, in that the bowels act regularly and freely every day. Theodore's Black-Draught should be as often as necessary to open in bowels and put them in a healthy state of daily activity.

Then followed the legal action by the seceding group, represented by Attorney S. F. Edmard, in which a claim was set up that the group making the claim, the Williams, Bannister and Rhoden followed, and the estate and distinct organization, worshipping, however, with the Union Bethel Church, and that while there had actually raised the amount of nearly $4,000, depositing the same in Breveport Savings Bank as a separate building fund and that when they left to go themself, the judge unnamed the name of Union Bethel, had laid claim to the money.
When the case, was called on April 13, Attorney Samuel P. Edmead made a plea of not being ready to proceed, but Attorney Charles F. Murphy, counsel for the old church, selected elected months eight to have afforded ample time for preparation of the case.
Secadera To Pay Cost.
Mr. Edmead then asked for a thirty-day postponement that he might straighten out his accounts. Judge Carswell is quoted as having replied to the effect that "The only account you have here is to pay the cost of this action, and I will give you ten days in which to do it." With this action out of the way, Dr. Cole and his people plan to go ahead at once with the erection of a modern church structure on the site of the old building at Dean street and Schenectady avenue. Plans and specifications already been drawn and the congregation has been ahrsipping with the former Swedish Church building near Schenectady avenue and Herkimer street, now occupied as the Dunbar Center, Dr. Cole went to Washington Wednesday to attend a meeting of the Church Extension Board, which is planning to render substantial aid towards a splendid new A. M. E. Church edifice in Brooklyn.

JOHN W. CROMWELL, NOTED HISTORIAN, DEAD IN CAPITAL Octogenarian Editor and Teacher Succumbs To Stroke
Washington, D. C—John Wesley Cromwell aged 80 years 7 months 9 days, died at his late residence, 1439 Swann street, northwest, on Thursday, April 14 after having suffered a stroke less than a month ago.
Mr. Cromwell was one of the race's most distinguished, literary representatives, his work, "The History of the Negro In America," not only having had a large circulation, but having been adopted as a text book in many schools. He was one of the organizers of the American Negro Academy, a national research organization of great importance, and served as corresponding secretary until a few years ago.
Born in Portsmouth, Va, September, 1846, young Cromwell attended the Institute for Colored Youth at Philadelphia, graduating in June, 1867. After teaching in Virginia for several years he located in Washington and took a course in law at Howard University finishing with high honors.
Entered School System
Instead of entering upon the practice of law, however, Cromwell entered the Sixth Auditor's Office, Treasury Department, as a clerk on November 2, 1872, and remained there until June 30, 1883 when he entered the public school system as a teacher, eventually becoming a "principal. After many years failing health necessitated his giving up active service under provisions of the Retirement Act. His activities included the establishing and editing of "The People's Advocate," a weekly newspaper, and assisting in founding the Bethel Literary and Historical Association which is still an active cultural agent in the region.
Puneral services were held Saturday, April 16, from St. Luke's P. E. Church, the Revs. W. V. Tunnell and Thomas J. Brown officiating. Eulogies were delivered by the Rev. Dr. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the 19th Street Baptist Church, and by the Rev. Dr. Charles E. Stewart, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. The pallbearers were L. M. Hershaw, Dr. George H. Richardson, Attorney Thomas Walker, George Jackson, Robert Pellham and Edward Syphax. Surviving members of the family are the widow Mrs. Annie E Cromwell (nee Coin, formerly of Carlisle, Pa.); a son, John Wesley jr.; and three daughters Otelia, Mamie and Lucy. The son and two daughters teach in Washington high schools.

Work Of The Tuberculosis Association Through Harlem Committee Reaches People With Health Talks and Movies
More than 1500 people of Harlem had questions answered by the information service of the Harlem Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, and received service last year, according to a report recently made public.
erage of three, visits each to the Committee's dental clinic during the same year. Several thousands more were reached through the lectures, health talks, and health movies given before various clubs, schools, churches and other groups, under auspices of the Committee. These activities are all conducted by the Committee for the benefit of residents of the community, as part of the extensive program of health education and service. The Committee is carrying on this work in order to help wipe out tuberculosis and other diseases and to make Harlem as healthy a community as possible. A great deal of sickness and suffering could be prevented if every individual would follow the rules of personal hygiene in his daily living, and have a thorough health examination by a physician every year. Even sickness which has already developed could be helped, if the individual would get adequate care at the beginning.
Organized In 1922.
The Harlem Committee was organized in August, 1922, at the invitation of local doctors, in conjunction with the New York Turbulence and Health Association. All phases of health education have been stressed by the Committee because it realizes that you cannot fight disease and build up general health, without paying attention to the teeth, proper nutrition, general hygiene, and general health problems. All people are urged to go to their family doctor once a year, even if they feel well, to learn how to keep well. Much sickness can be prevented by learning the exact state of one's physical condition, and living carefully.
The Committee maintains headquarters on the third floor of the New York Urban League Building 202 West 135th street. Mrs. Mabel Doyle Keaton, R.N., who has been the executive secretary of the Committee ever since it started, is in charge of the office. Everyone of the community is invited to call there and become familiar with the staff, even if he or she has no health problems that need attention.
Other members of the staff are: Miss Gertrude Mae Sheridan, R.N., field nurse; Mrs. Lillian Glover, dental hygienist; and Miss Rita Toppin, office registrar. Every member of the staff has had special training for the work.
All Service Is Free.
The information service is available to all residents of Harlem. Anyone may seek advice about his health problems from this service. It is free of charge because the work is supported by funds raised through memberships and through the annual sale of Christmas Seals.
Harlem Committee by the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association is more than the total raised in the community, the amount received by the sale of Christmas Seals in Harlem has increased every year since the origin of the Committee This indicates the growing interest of the community in the work, and an increasing desire to help support it. Last year the Seal sale netted a total of $23.44 from booth sales in Harlem. In addition, there was one $100 membership, and many contributions were sent direct to the main office, 244 Madison avenue, by local residents, who received the seals with a letter from Dr. James Alex Miller, president of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association.
The information service is primarily a service to advise individuals about what to do if they have or think they have tuberculosis or other illnesses; where to go for examination; what hospitals are available to them for treatment of tuberculosis, heart disease and other sicknesses; and similar health information. Many people want to know how to avoid disease, where to have their children immunized from diphtheria, what food is best for growing children, why their children should go to bed at 8 o'clock at night, and similar information.
Health Pamphlets Distributed.
In addition, pamphlets on the health care of children and adults are distributed. If the Committee feels that it has not the proper facilities for helping any individual, the information service puts him in touch with an agency, which can handle his particular problem. It works in close cooperation with
There is also a consultative service for physicians where they may receive information concerning hospitals, sanatories, and other institutions available to patients. Nutrition work is carried on for children of the community. Many of them who are underweight used direction with their nutrition problems. So the Harlem Committee conducts a nutrition, class and health club every week for about forty underweight children. Here the boys and girls are taught why they should drink milk and eat fresh vegetables. Health stories are read to them. Frequently they give little health plays themselves. The mothers, of course, take part in the work so far as possible, but many who are working or very busy at home, are especially grateful for the class.
Dohiery and Nutrilon.
The dental work is closely allied to nutrition problems. It is not much use to give a person the
are not in 'good condition' so that he can chew the food properly and thus prepare it for digestion. Realizing this that you, must have 'grade A' mouths for 'grade A milk', the Committee organized a dental clinic August 18, 1924. Since that time more than 2,000 new, caeses' have attended it, for treatment, not counting the large number of return visits made each year. This year, the work of the clinic has increased so that it is now operated all day, five days a week, and Saturday morning, instead of only six mornings a week. Children whose parents cannot afford to send them to a private dentist may receive dental treatment at nominal fees.
The dentists of the community who are giving some of their time, voluntarily, to this work are: Dr. E. D. Collymore, Dr. A. Klug, Dr. E. MacDonald, Dr. W. J. Robinson, Dr. J. S. Forester, Dr. J. A. Williams, Dr. L. Carter, Dr. A. Dondy, Dr. H. C. Roberts and Dr. D. V. DuBois. The dental hygienist, Glover, is always on duty at the clinic.
* Physicians who give health examination to children voluntarily for the Committee are: Dr. H. L. Ellis, Dr. N. Whiteman, Dr. J. J. Jones, Dr. Alonzo deG. Smith and Dr. H M Embden
Personnel of the Committee
In addition to these activities of the Committee, a series of lectures in post-graduate work for physicians is conducted every year. Health talks and health movies are arranged for various groups in the community at the request of the groups. Moreover, through the Harlem Committee, the services of the Hospital Service and the Heart Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, are made available to the community.

sas, for instance, stated that the sentiment of the South is fifty to one against Smith, while ex-Secretary Josephus Daniels of North Carolina, Senator Glass and Governor Byrd of Virginia found it necessary to disavow statements representing them as advocating, the New York Governor's candidacy. The situation seems to be that if Smith is nominated, the South will have to support him, but it is not going to help him win the nomination. On the other hand, Senator Willis' prediction that Mr. Coolidge will break into the solid South and carry Kentycky, Tennessee and Missouri, sounds like another mess of political moonshine.
SACCO AND VENZETTI
That prejudice and intolerance interm at times with the administration of justice in the courts is too often the case. In it was not so many years ago that a living white lawyer of South Carolina unittied that it was practically impossible for a black man or woman to obtain redress for any wrong committed whites, and that any lawyer prosecut such a case would invite social ostracism. The courts of South Carolina do not pear to have improved much in this gard, as was shown by the neglect to be to justice the lynchers of the Lowry family at Aiken, within the past year. But other States than South Carolina open to the charge of permitting prejudice to frustrate the ends of justice.
The case of Sacco and Vanzetti, foreigners and radicals charged with murder, has impeached the course of justice in so liberty loving a State as Massachusetts. These two men were tried on one charge of murder committed in a pay-hold-up six or seven years ago. The proceedings of that trial have been the occasion of more protest and discussion to any Massachusetts court, has given it to since the trial of Anthony Burns Abolition days, which sent him back slavery. The furore over this later case has spread all over the United States and extended into many foreign countries, giving American representatives abroad much concern.
Felix Frankfurter has written a book giving his analysis and study of the Sacco and Vanzetti case, in which he chaired that "prejudice, instead of being rigorously excluded, was systematically fostered at the trial. The ground of this prejudice was the fact that the two prisoners were radicals at a time when agitation was against the "reds," as socialists or communists were called. The sentiment patriotism was used to influence the judge and the judge was charged with bias permitting the prosecutor to inject a extraneous matter. The testimony identifying the accused as the hold-up men was offset by a larger number of witnesses who testified that they were elsewhere the time of the murder. But the theme of the jury was indicated by the remitted report to have been made by the man, when a friend said that he did believe them guilty: "Damn them, they ought to hang anyway."
This is the same spirit of intolerance that prevails in such States as South Carolina and Florida, when directed against black men and women, forbidden legal redress for their wrongs because their color. When Massachusetts surmired Anthony Burns to a United marshal in obedience to a decree of Federal judge in conformity with the Gidevive Slave Act, the city of Boston played emblems of mourning because justice had departed from the courts. Case of Sacco and Vanzetti seems to have aroused an equal, if not greater proas a miscarriage of justice. There been practically no court review of evidence admitted in the first trial of the higher courts have merely affirmed the legality of the rulings made by trial judge. In order to meet the demas of justice and re-establish confidence, the courts of Massachusetts, public opining demands a new trial.
Prejudice against radicalism and redno safer ground for refusing justice this prejudice based on color and race. The courts should be free from bias or prejudice of any sort in the administration of justice. If the case of Sacco and Vanzetti has been fairly stated by their advocate who include not a few men of sound judgment and legal standing, they should accord a new trial before another judge. Their next resort will be an appeal to Governor of Massachusetts.
That prejudice and intolerance interfere at times with the administration of justice in the courts is too often the case. In fact it was not so many years ago that a leading white lawyer of South Carolina admitted that it was practically impossible for a black man or woman to obtain legal redress for any wrong committed by whites, and that any lawyer prosecuting such a case would invite social ostracism. The courts of South Carolina do not appear to have improved much in this regard, as was shown by the neglect to bring to justice the lynchers of the Lowman family at Aiken, within the past year. But other States than South Carolina are open to the charge of permitting prejudice to frustrate the ends of justice.
LOGICAL CANDIDATES.
According to the results of a questionnaire conducted by the Washington Star, President Coolidge is the logical candidate of the Republican party for the Presidency in 1928. This prediction was based on the reports received from Republican National Committeemen representing fourteen states, who claimed that sentiment in favor of Mr. Colidge is increasing and that the "third term" issue will present no obstacle either to his remination or re-election. In the judgment of those fourteen faithful followers, everything is roseate in the Coolidge calendar.
The case of Sacco and Vanzetti, two foreigners and radicals charged with murder, has impelled the course of justice in so liberty loving a State as Massachusetts. These two men were tried on the charge of murder committed in a pay roll hold-up six or seven years ago. The proceedings of that trial have been the occasion of more protest and discussion than any Massachusetts court has given rise to since the trial of Anthony Burns in Abolition days, which sent him back to slavery. The foreword over this later case has spread all over the United States and extended into many foreign countries, giving American representatives abroad much concern.
Considering the fact that there are forty-eight States besides, the District of Columbia represented in the Republican National Committee, the number of responses received by the enquiring Washington newspaper does not seem to indicate an overweening desire to hitch on to the Coolidge band wagon. Nor do the States represented by those on board represent a substantial supply of electoral votes. Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, Texas, Vermont, irginia West Virginia mostly fall into the Democratic column, while the District of Columbia has no votes. With the exception of Vermont not one of them can be counted as safely Republican, even for so logical a candidate as Mr. Coolidge, and there is always logic in the candidacy of a President in office to succeed himself. The weakness in this present situation is the failure to secure replies from the Republican Committeemen in the States, which usually furnish electoral votes for the party candidate.
Felix Frankfurter has written a book giving his analysis and study of the Sacco and Vanzetti case, in which he charges that "prejudice, instead of being rigorously excluded, was systematically fostered" at the trial. The ground of this prejudice was the fact that the two prisoners were radicals at a time when agitation was rife against the "reds," as socialists or communists were called. The sentiment of patriotism was used to influence the jury and the judge was charged with bias in permitting the prosecutor to inject this extraneous matter. The testimony identifying the accused as the hold-up men was offset by a larger number of witnesses who testified that they were elsewhere at the time of the murder. But the temper of the jury was indicated by the remark reported to have been made by the foreman, when a friend said that he did not believe them guilty: "Damn them, they ought to hang anyway."
It is one thing for Senator Frederick Hale of Maine to say at the White House that "all New England wants Coolidge" and for William E. Humphrey of the Federal Trade Commission, an officeholder himself, to declare that "the West is strong for Coolidge." But their opinion does not carry conviction, when contrasted with the defeat of the President's Senatorial candidate in Massachusetts and the demand in the West for ex-Governor Lowden to throw his hat in the ring. When H. L. Remmel Republican committeeman for Arkansas, cited Roosevelt's case, in favor of another term for Coolidge, he merely invited an unfavorable comparison. Of course, he praised the splendid administration given by President Coolidge as heartily as his fellow committeeman, Benjamin J. Davis of Georgia, did in the Atlanta Independent some time ago.
This is the same spirit of intolerance that prevails in such States as South Carolina and Florida, when directed against black men and women, forbidding legal redress for their wrongs because of their color. When Massachusetts surrendered Anthony Burns to a United States marshal in obedience to a decree of a Federal judge in conformity with the Fugitive Slave Act, the city of Boston displayed emblems of mourning because justice had departed from the courts. The case of Sacco and Vanetzetti seems to have aroused an equal, if not greater protest as a miscarriage of justice. There has been practically no court review of the evidence admitted in the first trial and the higher courts have merely affirmed the legality of the rulings made by the trial judge. In order to meet the demands of justice and re-establish confidence in the courts of Massachusetts, public opinion demands a new trial.
Of greater significance than these stereotyped opinions belittling the third term objection from States where Republican votes are not counted, if allowed to be cast, was a series of political predictions made by Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio, $^{1}$ State which produces Republican President and casts its votes for them as well. Senator Willis, in his role as a political forecaster, told the President that Governors' Smith of New York and Danahey of Ohio will be the Democratic ticket in 1928, but that the Republicans will defeat them two to one with the old ticket of Coolidge and Dawes. This, of course, takes the renomination of the President for granted, despite the raising of the third term objection by such a staunch Republican as Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler of New York. Senator Fess of Ohio also predicted that Mr. Coolidge will be nominated without difficulty to succeed himself, despite the dissent of some states in the corn belt. All, of which goes to confirm the belief that Presidents are likely to hear from their callers, things that will please them, and that a President with patronage to confer in a logical candidate until the convention meets.
Prejudice against radicalism and reds is no safer ground for refusing justice than is prejudice based on color and race. The courts should be free from bias or prejudice of any sort in the administration of justice. If the case of Sacco and Vanzetti has been fairly stated by their advocates, who include not a few men of sound judgment and legal standing, they should be accorded a new trial before another judge. Their next resort will be an appeal to the Governor of Massachusetts.
DISFRANCHISEMENT WORKS.
It is beginning to dawn upon some thinking white Southerners that population disfranchisement is $x$ sword that cut both ways'. In last week's issue an Age correspondent in Richmond calls attention to the fact that one of the oldest lawyers in that section told Virginia legislature, that the State without popular government founded on the will of the people. It was charged that the present state constitution, adopted in 1902, for the purpose of disfranchisement.

chising the Negro, has literally deprived most of the whites of citizenship as well. The gist of the complaint of this champion of the suppressed white vote, was that, the lilywhite. Republicans had been deprived from voice or participation in the State government. This was particularly galling, as the spokesman of the suppressed whites, Col. Henry W. Anderson, who has been most active in reading the blacks out of the regular Republican organization, has found himself in a hopeless minority without their vote at the polls. For a perpetual contender for the office of Governor, this was a most humiliating position, but it was only a case of the dose he had prescribed for the black Republicans, being forced upon himself.
This dose of his own medicine has not brought any wisdom to the redoubtable Colonel and perennial candidate for Governor. He is still insistent that the State should have a new organic law which should disfranchise the black citizens without also disfranchising the whites, or at least those whites who can be counted upon to support Col. Anderson for Governor. How this can be done does not appear to be thoroughly clear, even after the labored explanation as to "reapportionment of legislative districts," so as to wipe out the legitimate majorities of the colored voters.
It is not at all likely that the democrats of Virginia will feel called upon to help Col. Anderson and the minority of lilywhite republicans whom he represents, out of the humiliating position in which they find themselves. They deliberately read out of the Republican party the bulk of the voters, because they were Negroes, thinking thereby to fill their places with whites. But no recruits have appeared, hence the so-called regular republican organization in Virginia is all head and no-body. Time was when the Republicans of Virginia could at least elect one member of Congress, through the aid of the Negro vote. The last Republican to be elected to Congress from Virginia was C. Basscom -Slemp, who finding himself threatened with defeat because of the loss of the colored vote, refused to run again and became Secretary to the President.
The lilywhite republicans of Virginia committed moral suicide when they read the colored voters out of the party, and yet their leader, Col. Anderson, comes whining to a democratic legislature about the whites being disfranchised. It is a case of retribution following close upon the crime.
NEW JERSEY SENATORSHIP.
Considerable interest has already been manifested among the politicians across the Hudson in fixing upon a strong candidate for the Republican nomination for United States Senator. Report has it that National Committeeman Hamilton F. Keen has already taken measures to tie up the colored voters of the State to his candidacy. There is no paucity of Senatorial timber among the Republican aspirants, and while the election will not be held until next year, it would not be amiss for the voters to carefully weigh the claims of the various candidates for that position.
Without denying the character and capacity of any of the men so far mentioned, there is one who would seem to have special fitness for the position, if he should decide to become a candidate. We refer to the Hon. Joseph Frelinghuysen, who has already demonstrated his fitness for a seat in the Senate. During Mr. Frelinghuysen's term as Senator he served with distinction on some of the most important committees during the period of the world war. He met the great responsibilities devolving upon him with unflagging zeal and remitting exertions.
His peculiar ability as a financier was recognized by his selection as a member of the Finance Committee to succeed the late Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania. As a member of the Military Affairs Committee he took an active part in framing legislation necessary to the conduct of the war and the creation of various war agencies. He was also a member of the Interstate Commerce Committee and aided in the framing of railroad regulation during and after the war. He supported the prohibition amendment as well as the amendment giving women the right to vote. He was also a staunch supporter of the Dyer anti-lynching bill.
Mr. Frelinghuysen has for years taken an active interest in educational matters, having served for many years as President of the Board of Education. His special interest in the provision of adequate educational facilities for the Negro has been attested by his generous gifts to race institutions, both North and South. On all legislative matters affecting the interests of the race he has always, displayed an open mind and an
THE AGE READERS' FORUM
In deciding upon a candidate for United States Senator to whom they can give their hearty support, the colored voters of New Jersey would do well to consider the past record of ex-Senator Frelinghuysen, as shown by Family Court, who has the his public and private acts.
WORK FOR WOMEN'S FEDERATION.
The need for a woman worker in the courts to handle the cases of female delinquents, who would otherwise be sent to the workhouse, was recently emphasized by Magistrate Jean Norris of the Family Court, who has the distinction of being the first woman judge in the State of New York. This crying need of the race was pointed out at a meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary of the New York Urban League, at one of its series of luncheon meetings, designed to better inform its members on the welfare problems facing the women and girls of the community.
A woman worker to be of service in the courts must not only possess the temperaments and training to fit her to deal with such cases, but she must have the backing of the community behind her in the shape of organized effort to furnish the equipment to handle such problems. In order to afford the service demanded in such cases, there should be a house provided for the women or girls committed to her charge, where they can be
Editor of The New York Age: After reading the letter of one George Ford, '1, as a disinterested parly to what he was writing about, Mr. Ford has made a error in tackling the forts of Mr. Randolph. We have entirely too many "unele Toms" in our group to ever overcome the handicap under which we are struggling. Both Mr. Henry Ford and the Pullman Co. may have more money than all the colored people combined, but this is only a statement, and Mr. George Ford failed to quote where he got such information. Does Mr. Ford know the health of all the colored people in this country?
I am not interested in the work of Mr. Randolph, but I can see no harm in what the organization that he is fostering, is endeavoring to accomplish. The white race will never recognize a color that he is fostering, is endeavoring to accomplish in being a serivant and under-dog. He must stand out for his rights and quit allowing the white man to feed him, as he does his pets.
I have never heard of The Pullman Co., furnishing uniforms, to the porters and this is another statement of Ford's. The Sas, his type that keeps the white man informed of what the colored men are about to do and allows him to know the innermost secrets of our group.
The Pullman Co., realizes that to pay the porters a stipulated salary would compel them to spend more money and of course, they are against him. Himself, he allows himself to become a lackey dog has no right to be called a man who respects himself.
As to someone responding to Mr. Ford's appeal for help, I wonder if there is such a person in New York. No wonder somebody, I suspect, and I dare say if he was white and did such a trick, he would get more than threatening letter. Education is essential to such beings as this man and I trust that he will get his fill of singing the praises of the army and the city and the country. Because of the aforementioned people gives a rap about Ford or any other Negro, only for the amount of work that they can get out of him at the very cheapest rate. Some people think it a pleasure to be able to work for a company that would gladly accept the position for the ride, but every man cannot accept such a proposition.
I am hoping against hope that this man will open his eyes and try to accomplish something that will benefit the race instead of trying to pull down what someone has endeavored to build up. We will have opportunities to enjoy a plenty of opportunities are enjoying a plenty of opportunities are catching the devil on the poorer runs. You will never amount to a hill of beans as a lackey dog for the white man; you must show him that you are as proud of yourself as he is about himself. I have met quite a number of tattlers among the race who tell them that race who tells their employers all the things themselves and a park of lies about their friends. This is something that you will not find among
accommodated and given proper care and supervision. This house should, not be regarded as a penal character, but more as residential in its purpose, affording a place where individual cases of delinquency can be studied and investigated until a proper disposition can be made of them. This would obviate the danger of sending first time delinquents to mingle with hardened offenders, to institutions where they would become more proficient in evil doing.
In order to support work of this character, it would require a strong organization with financial resources sufficient to cover the expense of maintaining a house with experienced workers in charge and the necessary equipment. It is a work which should have a special appeal for the many women's organizations of this State. No finer work could be devised to call forth the united efforts of the State Federation of Women's Clubs if they should decide to cooperate with the Federation of Churches in undertaking the task of reclaiming the human driftwood that is brought into, the women's courts. Many of the cases cited by Judge Norris were newcomers from the South, who had drifted into bad company on reaching the big city. The task of rescuing, them and setting them on the right road toward usefulness and decent living should have a powerful appeal for all women's organizations.
My advice to Ford is to mind his own business and let Randolph alone. He can gain nothing rapping Randolph but perhaps he may learn something if he can pay attention to what is being said and done. The membership of the Union is increasing and that is progress, something of which probably for sure knows nothing about it. A hint to efficient. To he ignorant, is folly. FRANKLIN KANE
North Carolina vs. N. Y.
Editor of The New York Age.
Having just read press reports as to Gov. Smith's attitude towards a delegation of Harlem citizens, my mind recalls the statement so often made by the northern Negro press when speaking of things in the south—"It could not happen in New York." Well such a reception as was recorded your delegation "couldn't happen in North Carolina."
I am reminded of an incident in the late ex-President Rigbycev's career, when Senator Platt was instrumental in making his pronouncement and election possible as Governor of New York. He (Senator Platt) was to be consulted on all political appointments. Mr Rigcev kept his promise religiously, but he did not do as Senator Platt did, but used his splendid judgment as a servant of a great state and its people. So with our Governors, they, may not always do as we request but they do give us a respectful hearing. If the Governor of your great state was playing politics he need not be antagonistic to our group in order to gain favor with the South or North Carolina at least, for it seems that you Northerners will have to learn that no state can he half slave and half free.
F. L. LEE.
Editor of The New York Age:
The Colored Americans whose aims are lofty rejoice in the recent decisions of the Supreme Court. It strengthens the rights of the colored Americans, and broadens the scope of constitutional law.
It paves the way for a new era in having reflected in civil government, the will of the race. It is essential if the doctrine of equality provided for in the constitution is to be enforced. As the years tell by, it can be viewed as the crowning genius of a glorious cause, and the foundation of the democratic principle.
If the race takes advantage of the position gained, they will be more effective in shaping public policy, and control in government. It is the great task of modern democratic movement, which will result in the actual equalization of opportunity for all. The higher law of civilization and justice requires it, in the end that there may be no inconsistency in the
Commenting on the decision of Mr. James G. Carter not to accept the post of Minister to Liberia, the Baltimore Afro-American said:
In appointing Mr. Carter, the State Department let it be known that it favored the policy of advancing those already in foreign service in filling its posts as ministers instead of regarding the office merely as a political position. It seemed therefore that Mr. Carter's 20 years service as U.S. Consul to Madagascar gave him the requisite background with which to handle the Liberian situation. As an inducement to make the post attractive, the Department further obligated itself to raise the salary from $5,000, the present figure, but to see that he did not lose his consular standing entitled him to retirement and pension under the rules of the consular service.
Apparently the State Department felt Mr. Carter would be satisfied with these concessions, for the President sent his name to the Senate which promptly confirmed him, that he wasn't for the promptly denied. Just why he was denied and the Senate were allowed to go so far with this nomination and confirmation while Mr. Carter's mind was not wade up is a mystery.
This much is evident however, that Mr. Carter must have asked for further concessions which were not granted, and secondly that, he came thru the whole affair with the confidence of the State Department which promoted him thereupon to the consulate at Calais, France.
Besides the refusal of this post cited by the Afo-American, it is to be recalled that the late Joseph C. Price of North Carolina once declined it. It is unfortunate that the scant representation of the race in the foreign service since the days of Secretary of State Bryan, affords few men of experience fitted for promotion.
Discussing the part played by newspapers in promoting intolerance, the Washington Tribune said:
It appears that the newspapers have unduly exaggerated the conditions at Chicago on the eve of the election for Mayor William Hale Thompson was elected by a comfortable majority in spite of practically unanimous opposition, and the daily press leaflet in the Chicago Tribune lies that no voting withstands the mean and contemptible appeals made to race and sectarian intolerance. Much of the spirit of race hatred and sectarian narrowness, that exists in this country is due to the amount of space that the daily press devotes to the news articles are so composed as to indicate sympathy with these unworthy feelings.
Much of our legislation and decisions of courts are contaminated with distinctions of race. Our immigration and naturalization laws are shot through and through with distinctions of race. When we work with immigrants, laws we find common and administrative practice made the basis for all sorts of discriminations as to race. In more than half the States the specialized racial institution of marriage is adulterated with racial antipathy.
This species of intolerance tends to breed irritation and resentment on the part of the groups discriminated against and the result is national discord and unrest. Fair dealing in the newspapers could do much to哄ollify these conditions.
Under the somewhat misleading head on "Only Two" in Journalism, the Portland, Oregon, Advocate printed the following news item from Los Angeles.
Charlotte Spear, Bass, managing editor of the "California Eagle" has returned to her desk after completion a three-month course in journalism at Columbia University, New York. Mrs Bass, wife of one of the vice presidents of the National Press Association is one of the two column female journalists active in journalism of Negro journals in the West, Mrs. F. Cannady of Portland Oregon is managing editor of "The Advocate." In the East Mrs. Bertha Perry Rhodes is managing editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, while Mrs Alice Dumbar Nielson contributes a column of lively interest to a Wash-

The motives of the military, the military father, the Duke Hiller in the Decaration of Independence are living and vital force, was service. It is the same principle which actuates the stalwart-colored American to join the Army of Grasslands and go on the flying line to fight for those principles of Civil Law. We must be aware of all time, status of equal race which will be unrestable. Difference of opinion may exist, but "I hold these truths to be self-evident." These princiest principles will ultimately triumph. To judge the future by the past would be because the past is but a memory and a mind. Adjustment is in order, in order days of political and social differentiation, to illuminate the field of modern government in the right attitude to the intellectuals of the race who desire to have established a concord that will secure for the colored American, the best service.

ington weekly. The women of the race have contributed their share toward the evolution of the Negro press, since the time when Mrs. Idah B. Wells Barnett was forced to leave Memphis because she edited a Negro newspaper.
The Denver Colorado Stateman noted, with approval the action on the Methodist Men's Council, in adopting attacks attacking racial segregation of any form, the United States closed door policy to foreigners, including Japanese, and urging racial equality in the churches. It said editorialist
Significantly beyond definition was the action of the Methodist Men's Council, holding important sessions in Denver this week. There can be no mistaking the weight of their aithic nor the general benefits of their militancy. Resolutions were put this council on Tuesday night at their meeting, and in no uncertain terms. It is thus an confident belief that we are approaching jain belief end to this agitation. Any suggestion that the Negro will become puffed up and vain glorious over having won, a deserved victory is preposterous. We are merely seeking a chance to live decently and to remove all opposition to progress based upon the expedient of race, or color. That is the differently are foolish enough to fly in face of the decisions of the Supreme Court will find that they are due for another rude awakening.
This Methodist gathering comprises more than two thousand delStates, so their unanimous vote against racial segregation was of more than ordinary significance.
According to the Negro American Magazine, published at Houston, Tex., one of the most powerful factors in the promotion of an amenable adjustment is the Houston Interracial Commission. It continued: Among some of the direct benefits that have been derived from the effectual operation of the Interracial Commission, are: the paving of Dowling street; the main throughfare into the largest colored section of the city; efforts toward which had failed for five consecutive years, and was accomplished only after the Interracial Commission had intervened; the appointment of two unformed colored policemen and two colored detectives to the Houston Interracial Commission; the Negro school physician and four trained nurses to look after the physical welfare of the colored school children.
Rev. S. W. Johnson is now chairman of the colored division of the Houston Inter-racial Commission, is also serving as its executive secretary. He was induced to resign the pastorate of a $65,000 church to devote his entire time to the inter-racial Commission. Dr. Johnson proved adaptability to this work and has piloted it to outstanding achievements, and to the distinct advancement of the community at large.
This is a practical side of the Inter-racial Commission movement, which seems to have worked for more improvements, where they were greatly needed.
The Cincinnati Union threw the suicide of a Negro who ended his life by fire by a bullet in his head after a dispute with his wife. The wife's statement that he had been drinking liquor prompted the editor to comment as follows.
For years this city has had some reputation as a suicide center (generally our German friends wandered out into Burnet Woods) From the limb of a tree, Their souls sailed to you. Just what the next would. Would turn out to be. Dependency, or speculative philosophy, has never gripped the colored brother with intensity sufficiently strong to cause him "to shuffle off this mortal coal." But also, almost shine fires him so fiercely that he even hurries hellward to light its ruler. The brand of Cinema? "quot now dispensed must be our suitably atrocious to cause, suicidal tendencies. Even the undertakers embalming fluid piddled in Harlem is not credited with such immediate results.
importance of the common life.
Equality of opportunity should be invoked upon, as a means to making full use of the talem of the race to the end that public policy will be guided by trained and intelligent specialists. The public investment and far-reaching Democracy must be cared on as a basis which will stand the test. It is essential to the grant of economic and political freedom. Let the stalwart men and women of the colored race of America take themselves as an盟盟 in the rock of Galhara. There are forces of evil within the race which must be severely dealt with in order that the path may be cleared. No standing in our social fabric should be accustomed them, neither should we be shown them because they are a menace to progress and civilization.

With the institution last week of bankruptcy proceedings against the Bacharach Giants by Hammond Daniels and John B. Dykes, an abundance of claims have been sent in, which amount to $30,000. Daniels and Dykes claim the club is indebted to them in the sum of $1,700 and they have already secured a judgment for $6,827. With this, tremendous debt facing the owners, and with salaries pay, the probability is that the club will be abandoned and the players allotted to other members of the Eastern Colored League. Commissioners of this League will meet in Philadelphia on Friday to make a decision on this matter and should they decide to return to the six club schedule a will scramble will begin for the players now under contract to the Bacharachs. Especially will the scramble be seen for the pitching staff, which last year was the best in the league and was largely responsible for the nennant victory.
The Bacharachs have been in financial difficulties for the past two seasons. The rainy weather last year prevented the team from making money, although it was exceptionally good. Since the resignation of John Henry Lloyd at the close of the 1925 season, Dick Lloyd has been captain and manager. His lineup includes such well known stars as Cummings, Chancey White, "Rats" Henderson, Roy Roberts and Claude Grier. Last year Grier had the best record of any pitcher in the League. Should the Commissioners decide to have the Bacharachs continue through the 1927 season, they will have to give money to finance the team and to guarantee salaries to the playoffs.
"Red" Ryan, star right hand pitcher with Hilldale, arrived in New York last week after spending the winter in Cuba. Ryan reports a good season for himself and says he is in better condition for the opening of the Eastern Colored League than ever before. He watched the Lincoln Giants defeat Camden Easter Sunday afternoon and expressed the opinion that John Lloyd was building the local team into the strongest aggregation New York has had for a long time. He was especially enthusiastic about the new Cuban outfielder Lloyd he signed. Ryan played ball with this player in Cuba the past season and says he is the best hitter he has ever seen and a natural fielder. The new fielder is expected to report about May 15.
John Henry Lloyd is trying to work Georgie Fial into the short top position on the staff of the Lincoln Giants. He feels that Fial is too good a player not to be with some League team. Fial's worth as a leader and shortstop has been generally recognized by both players and teams, but his batting has always been weak. Lloyd thinks he can be critical to increase his batting average and has been giving special attention to helping Fial in this particular. Playing against the Camps Club on Sunday Fial managed to get one hit and to score one in four times at bat. His fielding was perfect. Being a local boy well known, he would be a valuable addition to the team should batting improve.
The Cuban Stars will arrive ni New York this week and will own immediate training for their opening game at David's Stadium,awk, Saturday, April 30. They have an exceptionally bright outlook for a successful.
Hampton's Track Team Getting Into Condition
By James B. Clarke
at Hampton Institute, Va.—With only three more weeks in which to prepare for the "Big Meet" on Armstronging Field, Hampton's trackmen settled down to serious business along the training line. A large number of men reported to the coach and Captain Coles, and among the number about thirty-five may be counted off as worthy and valuable inner path material. These men, although new, have high hopes of helping Hampton retain the championship for another year.
Adampton is also contemplating leading a relay team and Captain Coxa to the Penn Relays which are the latter part of April. Coles is emotional mile and two-miler of nine parts, will be entered so that he may pit his skill and running ability against the cream of the country. He will, no doubt, if in the pink of condition, come through with flying colors. At present he is having trouble from over development of the knees but this defect, it is hoped, will soon be remedied. There are two quarter-millers that are showing continually well in the tryouts for the relay team. They are Baldwin, Gray, Clarke, Snowden, and King. This time is pretty good in view of fact that two or three more weeks ahead training are ahead.
Champion has lost her excellent and
remarkable jallilmiler, John D. Moore.
Robes was always the dark horse
the race because no one could tell
of where he trained. Howe-
hey he led the pack to the tape more
once during his career at Hamp-
ley, Scott Johnson, of "shot-put re-
will" also be lost to the "Sea-
sack attack team". Captain Coles, was
recaptain of the track team for
third consecutive year.
Among the old men that will be
in action are Williams, high
matter; Ruff, broad jumper and
Snowden, sprinter; Robin-
and Gaines, shot putter; Har-
ley, Javelin thrower the Baker
high jumpers and pole
distancees; Dave Baker, Gray, Baldwin, Clarke, King, sprinters, King, Harris, and Baker, low hurdlers; and Renfrow, discuss thrower. The "vets" are training hard to enable Hampton to meet the strong opposition that they expect in the Hampton Meet on May 14. One more log on the Madame C. J. Walker Trophy will have to be won in order that it may become the preament possession of the school.

"Easy Pickings" at The Roosevelt Theatre
"Easy Pickings" at The Roosevelt Theatre
Local film patrons who want to be thrilled should see the entertainment presented at the Roosevelt Theatre. The picture. First National's "Easy Pickings," with Anna O. Nilsson in the featured role, is a spooky mystery that has more varied and assorted thrills per reel of film than anything it has been our pleasure to review it for these many years! "Easy Pickings" is a picture with a crook conspiracy plot and a netselling-timeline mystery treatment William A. Burton and Paul Cruger wrote it especially for the screen while developing their stage play of the same title.
Kenneth Harlan heads the one-part cast, and between Miss Nilsson and himself a really anrealizing love story is woven. The thrills are contributed partly by the two "williams," Philo McColough and Ierry Miley and by Charles Sellon, in an important character mildly Billy Bacon two-reel-coupled star Zack Williams and Gertrude Howard, colored comedians, enhance the spectator's hysterical state by introducing laughs between thrills.
The plot is well constructed, and after so many surprises have occurred that no more are expected the most unexpected one comes at the end. However, we will not nail it by a single disclosure just as it yourself. If you are not blessed and thrilled, you're hard to
THE NEW YORK AGE
ULYSSES S. YOUNG, ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, DIES IN HOSPITAL
Ulysses S. Young, for the past five years athletic director at Lincoln University, died at John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, following an operation, on Friday, April 15. Mr. Young had been sick only a few days prior to entering the hospital and his death came as a great shock to a host of friends throughout the country. The late "Lissy" Young, as he was popularly known among the student body and alumni of Lincoln, was one of the greatest athletes of his alma mater, having been a member of the football, basketball and baseball teams. He succeeded John Shelburne as athletic director in 1922 and during the time he coached the Lincoln football team, this eleven lost only one game to their biggest rival, Howard University. He also developed into an able basketball coach.
He was a native of Orange, N. J., and funeral services were held from the Hickory Street, M. E. Church of Orange on Monday, April 18. Among the many expressions of regret, read at the funeral services, was the following resolution from the Lincoln University Alumni Association of which Dr. E. P. Roberts is president and William M. Ashby, secretary:
Whereas In the providence of the All-Wise God, He has caused to be removed from amongst us one to whom our devotion was deep and our respect high, and Wigreas: "The said one, Mr. U. S. Young, was a man of the highest character, loving his family and loved and working for the advancement of the common brotherhood of man, and;
Whereas; As a graduate of Lincoln University, he always held dear, and ever exercised himself to maintain the ideals which are inherent in that institution and;
Whereas: As a member of the Lincoln University Alumni Association, he was loyal patient and true, ever ready to do whatever in his power he to make it most effective in carrying out its purposes.
Be it resolved: That the Lincoln University Alumni Association tender herewith its deep sorrow over his departure.
Be it also resolved: That the condolences of the Association be tendered to his family, his parents and his friends; and
Be it resolved: That a copy of these resolutions become a part of the permanent records of the Lincoln University Alumni Association.
Champion High Jumper At Howard Track Classic
Washington, D. C. The management of the National Open Championships and Intercollegiate Track Meet, sanctioned by the American Collegiate Athletic Association, and sponsored by Howard University, an nounces that Charles Major, the St. Bonaventure high jumper, will give a demonstration in his specialty at the 1977 renewal of the spring classic.
Major, a young New York athlete, is numbered among the new timber encroperied for the 1928 Olympics. At the annual Milrose, A. C. games, staged in New York February 2 last, this youth gave the best performance of the evening when he skipped 6 feet, 5-5-8 inches in the high jump, to beat the record-holding Osborne Olympic champion, and several other national, champions and narrowly missed the world's indoor record of 6 feet 6-1-2 inches. This feat surpassed the Olympic high jump record, which means that, barring unusual injury and serious reversal of form, Major should be the best high jumper in the United States when he comes up for the next Olympic trials.
The public or Washington and volunteers will be unusually fortunate in having the opportunity of seeing a potential world's record high jumper at the Howard University Stadium May 14, 1927. This event is staged

as one of several features of this meet, which has, grown to 'be the biggest and best spring Classic in the country. Major will be supported by Cecil Cooke, who holds the national championship for the quarter-mile race, and Gus Moore, the outstanding distance runner of Eastern colleges.
The track at the new Howard Stadium has been recently re-surfaced with two inches of sifted dinders and clay, which makes it easily the fastest track in colored schools. The Howard management has been successful in lining up the best corps of track officials for this meet. With ample seating facilities and a collection of from 275 to 300 athletes, the 1927 edition of the spring classic will eclipse all other performances of the East.

IN THE REALM OF MUSIC
By LUCIEN H. WHITE
DISTINGUISHED AUDIENCE AT EASTER MUSICALE UNDER AUSPICES OF THE CITIZENS' CHRISTMAS CHEER COMMITTEE
It was a distinguished assemblage which sat in the Imperial Auditorium on Sunday afternoon, April 17, for the Easter Musicale promoted by the Citizens' Xmas Cheer Committee, in which Mrs. Manir L. Briggs is chairman. A recent operation for appendicitis at St. Luke's Hospital prevented Mrs. Briggs from being present, but her plans were capably carried out by the Vice chairman, Miss Bertha P. Mull, and the efficient chairman of the musicale committee, Mrs. Maude H. Ferguson.
The ladies offered a notable array of artists, both professional and amateur, and the program was enthusiastically enjoyed in its entirety. The financial proceeds age for the Committee's treasury, from which hundreds of Christmas dinner baskets are provided for the needy poor of Harlem each year.
The artists presented were Mrs. Carrie B. Overton, pianist, a graduate of the University of Wyoming and of the Howard University Conservatory of Music, and an artist papil of Frederick W. Riesberg, who was a pupil of Liszt, Reinicke and Scharwenka. Mrs. Overton was making her dobut in Harlem, but she had her New York debut last year in a recital at Steinway Hall. She displayed a facile and fluent technique, giving as her offerings the "Juba Dance" from Dett's "In the bottoms" Suite, and "Cavalier Fantasique" by Godard.
Miss Gladys Sellers, soprano, made her New York debut in concert, and disclosed a rich and opulent vocal equipment. She studied at the Wisconsin Conservatory and with Matukin in Kimball Hall, Chicago, and will be heard with appreciation by her future audience. She was a member of the "Lulu Belle" company, which recently closed after a long dramatic life downtown.
Miss Mary Brown, a young violinist from Mt. Vernon, who is studying with the Italian teacher, Squeo, showed much promise in two numbers, Miss Pearl Buckley of Mt. Vernon was her accompanist.
I Louis Johnson, baritone, received an enthusiastic reception when he sang his own composition, "Well one that beautiful story" and "Empty arms." He was compelled to repeat the last number. Prot. I Aldaina Jackson rendered splendid service as accompanist for Mr. Johnson and Miss Sellers. Harold Simmelkaer, through suffering slightly from hoarseness, gave effective readings of "The Soul of a Violin" and Kupling's "Gunga' Din."
The climax of the afternoon's program came with the singing of Abbie Mitchell, dramatic soprano. In glorious voice, with ripened art Miss Mitchell thrilled the audience with her rendition of Schubert's great songs, "The Almighty," responding to the insistent demand for an encore "with an unusual and interesting" arrangement by Hall Johnson of the Spiritual, "I heard of a Glys, called Heaven." A second group consisted of "Songs my mother taught me" from "Gypsy Melodies" by Dvorak, and "Joy" by Winters Watts. The last number had to be repeated before the audience would be quetered.
The accompaniments for Miss Mitchell's songs were sympathetically and efficiently played by Miss Beatrice Lewis.
Just before the final number, Miss Mills, vice chairman, and Mrs. Ferguson, chairman of musicale committee, were introduced to the audience by Lucien H. White of The Age, who had acted as master of ceremonies for the Committee.

Billiard Tournament
The management of the Lafayette Edhart Lipponium had the stage all set Saturday afternoon for the final of the Minneapolis Third Annual Handicap Billboard Tournament with Brinson seven winners one loser with two to play. Like Smith his contender with six winners, two losers and two to play both of them had one game with Buzey Wheatley. This served two purposes. As a warm up and by them both defeating Wheatley it placed them as natural contestants either for a tie at the worst if Smith won as the score now stood. Brinson eight winners one loser - Smith seven winners two losers.
Manager Willis acted as Referee as this was the deciding contest. Brunson started off in his usual calm was choking off his regular 6-7. Smith always of a quiet, self-controlled disposition could not let off, or good point, to kisses and lures, and with his coaching Brunson on a handspring of 15 points, he had no time to leap. At the end of the first 10 Brunson was leading by three points. Luke got the balls going nicely checking 9-11-7, placing him in front. He looked good for a winner. Brunson tightened up with a couple of safe plays, then he got again with 6-4-5-4, winning by 11 points. Score 75-70. Joe Gray captured the high run for the Tournament, and Scott the booby prize. Next season Brunson will play in Class A. He was presented with a Class A merry widow prize cue.

A. M. E. GENERAL CONFERENCE WILL MEET IN CHICAGO Changed From Indianaapolis By Commission; Meets May, 1928
Chicago, Ill.—The 28th quadrennial conference of the A. M. F. Church, originally scheduled to be held in Indianapolis, Ind., in May 1928, will be held in Chicago instead, the local committee in Indianapolis having been unable to make the necessary preliminary arrangements for taking care of this important church aggregation. When it became apparent that Indianapolis could not handle the assemblage, the General Conference Commission, Bishop A. T. Carey, chairman, was called to assemble for a conference with the Indianapolis committee, after which the commission came to Chicago and met the next day at Quincy Chapel with Bishop A. L. Gaines and the Chicago pastors.
At this meeting, it was decided to accept an invitation from Bethel A. M. E. Church, the Rev. H. V. Tookes, pastor which has just recently acquired the magnificent half million dollar structure. Sinai Temple, which was built a few years ago at 47th street and South Parkway by the wealthy Hebrew congregation of which Julius Rosenwald, the millionaire philanthropist, is a member.
This, building, which is to be the seat of the 1928 general conference, seats 4,000 has a pipe organ that cost $75,000, twenty or more rooms for social service, office or committee work an extensive library, and a community house which contains what is said to be the finest swimming pool in the city. The acquiring of this edifice followed the destruction by fire of Bethel's old structure two years ago, and the pastor was assisted by John R. Hawkin of Washington, financial secretary; Ira T. Bryant of Nashville, secretary of the Sunday school Union; Rev. J. S. Johnson, secretary-treasurer of the Church Extension Society, and Bishop Gaines.
Members of the General Conference Commission present at the meeting were Bishops Carey, Gaines, W. A. Fountain and W. D. Johnson; the Revs. John Harron, secretary, H. D. Cannady, B. V. Taylor, S. J.

White Citizen of Flushing Makes Plea For Fairplay
(Continued From First Page)
"If the Flushing Y. M. C. A. is a private club, its members have perhaps the right to injure themselves as much as they desire by being as exclusive and narrow-minded as possible. What, however can be said of the good taste of an 'exclusive organization which appeals to the general public for support on the ground that it is to serve all boys in the community?"
If, as those who contributed were led to believe, the Y. M. C. A. is intended to serve all the boys and young men of the community if its purpose is not only entertainment, but character building; if there is anything to the ideal of 'equity and opportunity'; their of course, the Y. M. C. A. ought to give most attention to those who can be most benefited by the organization. This 'means, that the less prosperous youths of the community, and this, of course, includes most of the Negroes, should be especially welcomed, for it is more difficult for them to obtain elsewhere services of the kind which the Y. M. C. A. is designed to furnish.
Let us hope, then, that the Flushing Y. M. C. A. will take the course of service rather than nobilness and that it will do its part in benefiting the white boys of Flushing by teaching them real courtesy and giving them a true appreciation of the characteristics of other races, instead of injuring themselves by holstering up race prejudice, and other ignorable emotions.

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES
Be it ever so happily, there is no place like home.
It was the latter part of last week, when the slogan, "Home for Easter," was rampant around the big railroad terminals, on the trains and along all routes of travel, that the lady boarded the Medford Express. She had just arrived, from abroad. This was evident as she entered the parlor cow followed by several redcaps, of whom seemed almost on the verge of collapse under the load of foreign-tagged luggage which he carried.
Femine lusk, or feminine habit, it doesn't matter to which you ascribed the redcaps just had time to deposit the aggregation of baggage before the "all-aboard" signal resounded throughout the huge station. The lady, who was affluent in adipose, as she appeared to be in finance, gave a sigh of relief as the train began shake-like to wind itself out of the metropolitan terminal.
"Oh" she exclaimed, in a tone that was heard within the entire car. "There is no place like home, after all. I have been travelling in Europe during the past eight months. I have covered, nearly every part of it, but of all the various places to which I have been, none of them have seemed as attractive to me as Blue Valley, my home."
The remark was partly a soliloquy and partly, an address to the other occupants of the Pullman. The subject of home drew immediate attention.
"Yes," agreed most of her fellow-travellers, "there is no place like the place we call home."
"But," said one of these, who, by the way, was a man. "I have been to places which, on my return home, made my town appear a rather drab place."
"Well, I have never felt that way about Blue Valley," said the returning one. "I love every nook, hole and corner in the dear old places."
For well-night two hours the conversation, which had become almost general within the car, dealt with home. There was only one passenger among the home-ward bound travellers who seemed uninterested in the topic. In fact it appeared, to have annoyed him. He betrayed this feeling by remarking to theporter. "Are all these passengers prodigal sons and daughters returning home!"
Every fifteen or twenty minutes, the European traveller, would ring for the porter; and when he came, would remind him not to forget where she was getting off. She was so elated at the prospect of getting home, that she realized that she was unduly nervous about it, she confessed to the patient Pullman facetum.
Night had descended on Blue Valley, when the locomotive of the train blew for the station. The returning resident, with a smile of deep contentment envisaging her face, bade her fellow travellers good-bye as the express came to the stop. Every one of these, even the disinterested man, crowded to the car windows to see what sort of place Blue Valley was.
An old dilapidated freight car, which looked as though it had served the railroad long and well before it was marooned there, was the station. A lantern which hung from its side, and from which a flickering light struggled to make a beacon for the few and far-between passengers, was, the only medium of illumination to be seen. So far as the place was concerned, there wasn't a sign of habitation anywhere around. Blue Valley presented the appearance of a graveyard, without the tombstones.
As the train moved away, each passenger resumed his seat with a curious, contemplative look. The disinterested passenger met the porter in the middle of the car and exclaimed: "My God! Is that the place she was raving about?"
"Yes," answered the porter, "But, you must remember that it is home to her."
"Yes," chorded the other passengers. "it is home to her."
"Well," rejoined the man. "it certainly is humble enough."

In our articles thus far we have not mentioned, directly, any group of P O, employees except clerks. But we may, have had no deliberate intention to slight the other groups. It may have been that the matters presenting gravitated naturally, around the clerk group, or that the writer knows more about this group than any other. But then, time—the effacer of all barriers—will probably remove that handicap. Already we know that

carriers are nice, fellows, and have a great deal more important to the service than clerks, though they admit they are more important to whatever intermediate degree that is conceded. Also we know that they have radios at home and a civilian suit for, Sunday wear. About laborers, we know that they are a leisurely type, hold down all the "soft" assignments, are slightly less pay and are landlords. About the lady, clerks, we know nothing except that they wear varicolored and nondescript smoothes that the sensation of earrings is much as the males has probably destroyed that delightful dependence as a feminine attribute that men still seek, but that even so, they still have the power to extract the milk of tenderness from the baskets including foremen and clerks in charge.
We often wonder what are the things in postaldom that agitate the P. O. employees of the small far away towns. Of course, under the existing scale of compensation, it is a likely surmise that their real problem concerns their wise choice of suitable servants, such as maids, choree-etc., and their extra obligations to the public in their dual capacity of P. O. employee and town banker. In any case, we would like very much to get some comments from those who keep in touch with these articles and feel inclined to write.
