According to statements by persona present in the congregation, the pastor had descended from the pulpit to the altar and started, according to his custom, the singing of a gospel hymn, in which he was joined, again according to custom, by the congregation, chair and organist. But at the end of the service, the Clerk reported to have turned to the chair and in a voice that rang through the edifice, told them to "stoe messing up" the song, and that if they couldn't sing they could quit.

Then, as if to prevent any misunderstanding as to what he meant, the organist had gone back into his pulpit, from which point he, announced another hymn, and then told his choristers that he did not want them to sing, but would let the congregation sing by itself. The organist, A. Rudolph Grant, played an introduction, giving the keynote to the hymn, then, in the third, stopped the organ, waiting for the congregation to take up the tune. Desilin in a state of bewilderment, the congregation did not respond, it is reported, and Dr. Cullen; fi vexation ordered the organist to continue playing. After the service, both organist and congregation were greeted by many of the folks present and asked as to the meaning of the pastor's outburst. But no intelligible answer could be given, and the happening was the subject of fervid discussion and curious surmise throughout the week that followed. And incidentally it was the organist who at the organ on that Sunday night was fled by one of his pupils, a Miss Spivey.

VENOMOUS SERPENTS DRIVEN BY FLOODS TO LEVEES ADD POISON FANGS TO FLOOD PERIL
Pine Bluff, Ark.—Woe, weeping and moaning prevail in Arkansas as a result of the furious, turbulent waters burying property, lands and people. The number dead has not been ascertained, neither will the heart rending tales ever be told. Thousands of Negroes are left destitute.
To meet the crisis the A. M. & N. Society turned into a refugee camp for the terrorized and stricken victims.
Just forty-eight hours ago nearly five hundred Negroes were caught and entrapped between the rising waters and the land on Free Bridge. There was no way of escape except by going to land in one small boat provided by the city of Pine Bluff.
As the waves dashed the frail boat dangerously across a slight erosion, the volunteers, worn and battered, hurried to the house, where the attacker, a worker, there were, many with babies in their arms crying for help.

Pitiful Stories Told.
A woman, middle aged, could be seen looking off in a blank space. On speaking to her tears came to her eyes. "My husband, he went to get some more things out of the house, the bridge floated away and he was drowned. I had my five children with me waiting on the other side. Today I can only see the top of my house. The rest are in the water. Everything there is my house, my husband, wailed the victim.
"This marks a new era in racial relation in Arkansas, declared Superintendent R. E. Malone, for both

During the night snakes crawl on the bridge and attack the helpless victims. The shrieks and screams of the plantation workers could be faintly heard on land, then battled fiercely with the blinding fire that was blinding them to sap life. with their poisonous venom. With dawn dame rescue. While one man by the name of Ewton, with his small boat, was crossing to bring some of the black victims from the bridge, a gust of wind blew and the hungry waters swallowed him. The rescue though did not give up hopes, but by combining the rising water heroically saved the great majority of plantation workers.
Emergency Relief At School.
As the stricken 400 plantation hands were landed they were sent together with many others for the A. M. & N. school camp. Under the leadership of Superintendent R. Nelson an organization was erected to make the schools of refugees. All of the teaching staff was drafted into the relief corps, Officials, prominent citizens and the refugees highly praise the A. M. & N. School for the efficient service rendered. On the school grounds can be seen mothers with their babies, boys and girls swinging in the playground, children strolling leisurely under the tall trees.

At Holiday landing bridge, where Capt. Clifford secured 200 Negroes on his preymini trip, farm animals were standing in three feet of water on the bridge.

Thousands Fleeing Louisiana Plantations
Vicksburg, Miss.-One of the greatest migrations in the history of the United States was in progress Monday in northeast Louisiana.
Thousands of persons—men, women and children from plantations and villages of the back country—were moving slowly eastward to Vicksburg, fearing (1) their lives would be the ever-increasing menace of the swollen Mississippi.
The number of persons in the long caravans could not be estimated even roughly, but it seemed the entire countryside was in motion.
Automobiles, motor trucks and wagons were being used in the exodus. Herds of cattle and mules were being hurried along by weary white men and Negroes. The horror of the Black Hole of Calcutta was told by the Key, Gordon Reese, Vicksburg minister, who aided in rescue work in the Sunflower district.
217 Huddled in Cabin.
The rescue party to which he was assigned found 217 persons who for three days had been huddled in a small cabin at Sunnyside, Miss. They were town of Sunnyside, with the exception of the one cabin was under water. Rescue said, "Negroes and whites were jammed in the cabin, and outside skills filled with refugees were tied to the one safe mooring place. "Most of those in the cabin had been there two or three days. Many of them had nothing to eat and were in poor health. Many conditions were unidefable. "They were so eager to get out that only with effort did we keep them from overcrowding the boat. "On the way down the Vicksburgh on a barge in tow of the launch, they alternately offered prayers of thanks that they were alive and were there for them. There were no knots in that health situation in that district will become. The death of countless civilians, nurses and other livestock had immeasurably increased the danger of disease.
The most pathetic sight was

I saw Negroes holding the head of their cows above water and ready to stay with them rather than leave and see them drown. A gun would have been a weapon of mercy. "One old man had lost everything but a white brown, and he carried that to the edge."

The thirteen members of the committee, were . . . ousted by. Dr. Moton who reaffirmed "sakegee's loyalty to the ideals and practices of the founder. Dr. Moton stated that his recent tour of the world had convinced him that despite handicaps he would progress and has greater opportunity than Negroes or members, of most other darker races in any other part of the world. He expressed thanks to the Legislature, through the committee, for what it has done for the Institute, recalling that the original appropriation for the school was made by the State Legislature.

VENOMOUS SERPENTS DRIVEN BY FLOODS TO LEVEES ADD POISON FANGS TO FLOOD PERIL
Pine Bluff, Ark.—Woe, weeping and moaning prevail in Arkansas as a result of the furious, turbulent waters burying property, lands and people. The number dead has not been ascertained, neither will the heart rending tales ever be told. Thousands of Negroes are left destitute.
To meet the crisis the A. M. & N. School was turned into a refugee camp for the terrorized and stricken victims.
Just forty-eight hours ago nearly five hundred Negroes were caught and entrapped between the rising waters and the land on Free Bridge. There was no way of escape except by going to land in one small boat provided by the city of Pine Bluff.

Pitiful Stories Told.

Attacked By Poison Snake.
During the night snakes crawled on the bridge and attacked the helpless victims. The shrieks and screams of the plantation workers could be faintly heard on land. Men battled fiercely with the blood-thirsty shapes as they attempted to sap life from their venom. With dawn dame rescue. While one man by the name of Ewton, with his small boat, was crossing to bring some of the black victims from the bridge, a gust of wind blew and the hungry waters swallowed him. The rescuers did not die but by combating the rising water, heroically saved the great majority of plantation workers.
- Emergency Relief At School.
As the stricken 400 plantation bands were landed they were sent together with many others to the A. M. & N. school camp. Under the leadership of Superintendent R. Malone an organization was created to refuge the refugees. All of the teaching staff was drafted into the relief corps, Officials, prominent citizens and the refugees highly praise the A. M. & N.

Captain and Craw Lands 785 Refugees in 2 Trips
Vicksburg, Miss.—Fatigued from exposure and a battle with flood waters for four days and nights, Capt. Harris Clifford of the steamboat Vicksburg has landed his recumbent boat load of refugees here. Capt. Clifford, who bore a deep flesh wound in one hand inflicted an injurious colored woman as she was dragged, said today that conditions in are bad. At Chocotay' Landing the Vicksburg loaded 585 persons who had fled their homes. At Ouward 200 stood in the water waiting for rescue nearly all of them women and children. At Holland Landing bridge, where Capt. Clifford rescued 200 Negroes on his previous trip, farm animals were standing in three feet of water on bridge. "They are sending out the women and children from Rolling Fork" Capt. Clifford said, "and all of them are coming out when their private levee breaks and that won't be long.
In the railroad station at Ritchie when we got there there were 65 Negroes, gathered. They were playing, and they kept singing.
A woman, middle aged, could be seen looking off in a blank space. On speaking to her tears came to her eyes. "My husband, he went to get some more things out of the house, the bridge floated away and he was drowned. I had my five children with me waiting on the other side. Today can be the top of my hope. I can be the greatest gift, the furniture, my house, my husband," waited the victim. "This marks a new era in racial relation, in Arkansas, declared Superintendent R. E. Malone, for both races cooperated in the crisis. White men imperiled their lives at Free Bridge in order to rescue the plantation colored people."
Thousands Fleeing Louisiana Plantations
Vicksburg, Miss.—One of the greatest migrations in the history of the United States was in progress Monday in northeast Louisiana.
Thousands of persons—men, women and children from plantations and villages of the back country—were moving slowly eastward toward Vicksburg, fearing of their lives from the over-increasing menace of the swollen Mississippi.
The number of persons in the long caravans could not be estimated even roughly, but it seemed the entire countrywide was in motion.
Automobiles, motor trucks and wagons were being used in the exodus. Herds of cattle and mules were being hurled along by weary white men and Negroes. The horror of the Black Hole of Calcutta was told by the Rev. Gordon Reese, Vicksburg minister, who aided in rescue work in the Sunflower district.
217 Huddled in Cabin.
The rescue party to which he was assigned found 217 persons who for three days had been huddled in a small cabin at Sunnyside, Miss.
"The entire town of Sunnyside with the exception of the one cabin with a red roof," Reed said. "Negroes and whites were jammed, in the cabin, and outside skiffs filled with refugees were tied to the one safe mooring place.
"Most of those in the cabin had been there two or three days. Many of them had nothing to eat and little to drink. Sanitary conditions were indesirable. We got out that only with effort did we keep them from overturning the boat.
"On the way down the Vicksburgh on a barge in tow of the launch, they alternately offered prayers of thanks that they were alive and went over their host homes.
"There is no host way to predict what the health situation in that county will become, and other livestock had immeasurably increased the danger of disease."
The most pathetic sight was animals standing belly deep in water which was constantly rising.
I saw NEGroes holding the heads of their cows above a water, and ready to lay with them rather than leave and see them drown. A gun would have been a weapon of mercy.
"One old man had just every thing in his hands: a white skirt and a hard leather jacket."

Modernize New York's
IT IS TRUE THAT THE FAILURES of young men sometimes are due to a lack of innate capacity. But more often failure is due to a misdirection of the qualities that, properly directed, would have built a man. Until New York City's Y. M. C. A. is modernized, thousands of youths who wish to use the "Y's" facilities must be turned away.
Boys do not retrograde by choice. The spirit of youth is onward and upward. Given the opportunity and half a chance, it will subscribe to the ideals of the Y. M. C. A—the cultivation of mind, spirit and body—rather than to those of darkened streets and shady practices.
How shall the young men of New York spend their leisure? How can they satisfy their normal craving for enjoyment, companionship and wholesome activities that benefit the all-round development The Y. M. C. A. is one great satisfying living answer
Dr. Francis G. Peabody, first vice-president of the board of trustees, Hampton Institute, before presenting the graduating class to the board of trustees, read a telegram from Chief Justice William H. Taft, president of the board, as follows:
"How I would like to attend the anniversary of Hampton Institute and her commencement, but it is impossible. I treasure the recollection of those meetings the past as a moment of deep inspir. May Hampton go on in her great work of giving strength and hope to a people showing wonderful progress toward better personal, social and political living. May God bless the work."
A special "Hampton Party" of over one hundred well-known men and women came from, New York and ten Northern cities under the direction of Alexander B. Trowbridge, Hampton School, and the National Hampton Association, to attend, to attend the anniversary, exercises.
Educating The Whole Body.
Addressing the guests of the Institute who had been visiting the shops and classrooms of the school for two days, Dr. Peabody said: "You have been visiting the source of a great idea. For General Armstrong, the wife of education the most noble less than the most illustrious. In him occurred the transition from ancient to the modern view... of education. The view
which detached the mind from the rest of the body has now been changed to new theory of educating the whole body. Everybody North and South, white and black who thinks at all knows that it is best to send the whole boy and the whole girl to school, giving training which bears upon the wholeness of life."
Dr. Peabody then presented the trustees with the graduating class of 100 candidates for degrees and diplomas.
The candidates for the Hampton degree follow: School of Agriculture, 5; School of Business, 2; School of Education, 7; School of Home Economics, 2.
The class of 1927 includes the following candidates for diplomas: School of Education, two-year college course, 15; School of Business, two-year college course, 6; School of Home Economics, two-year college course, 13; candidates for diploma, Library School,
Candidates for diplomas in the secondary division include: Academy, 75; Trade School, 58.

Dr. Dett Gives Program.
The anniversary program included an evening of music, under the leadership of B. Nathaniel Dett, director of music at Hampton. The songs were mainly from the recently published volume of the "Religious Folk Songs of the Negro as sung at Hampton Institute" edited by Dr. Dett. The musical numbers rendered by the Hampton choir, the glee club, and the student chorus were designed to show the three greatest factors of his existence: slavery and emancipation, religion, and his own contribution, to spiced.
A program of papers and demonstrations was given in Clark Hall, V. M. C. A. headquarters: The Unhollingering of a Chair Seat, Alonza G. Moron, Trade School: The Cataloging of a Book, Julia A. C.

The building is owned and occupied by Mrs. Frances Swartzberg and family, and some of the white property owners of the immediate neighborhood have expressed strong disapproval of the sale. There is only one colored family anywhere around, living on another block, and this family is well liked by 40% of its neighbors. And Mrs. Swartzberg's reply to all of her critics has been: "Well, I'm not the first owner to sell to decent, respectable, prosperous colored people, and you can rest assured that he will be the best."

As a matter of fact, while there was no particular intention to keep the transaction a secret, the deal was consummated with such celebrity as to almost set a record. Within-less than a month after the deal was consummated the contract was signed and the binder fee paid over. Mr. Anderson acted as his own broker in the deal and the legal end was handled by Attorney Arthur H. Taylor, a recent addition to New York's legal fraternity (who is Mr. Anderson's cousin), with law offices in New York and at 214 South Seventh street, Mt. Vernon. Mr. Taylor, is now associated with the A. T. Anderson & Co. firm as legal advisor. He is an A. B. from Lincoln University, and took his bachelor of laws degree at the University of Buffalo.

COURTESY LACK IN WHITE STORES AND HOW TO REMEDY IT
N. C. Dentists Discuss
Matter, With Comment
From W. P. Evans
Laurinburg, N. C.—At the recent annual, assembling of the Colored, North Carolina Dental Association, the matter of discriminatory practices by management's of stores in North Carolina City, whereby colored women wanting to purchase hats or shoes were not permitted the privilege of articles desired, was being discussed.
One of the dentists in the midst of the discussion is reported as having brought the argument to WHAT in the hell can we do about it? Another is quoted as saying, "Well there is one way out of it, but we have no stores on our own and it is hard to find there is business in our people anyway."
These comments were brought to the attention of W. P. Evans, who, in 1885, established here the Evan's White Front Department Store, with a request from The Age representative that he express an opinion concerning the matter. Said Mr. Evans:
Booker Washington's Answer
"I don't know how the question was answered by members of the association addressed, nor do I know if the question was answered. But I do know that more than twenty-five years ago our great and matchless leader the late Dr. Booker (T. Washington, answered it in existence and in point of interest in a white drug store, it is a notice to him to get one of his own."
"That answer is a true and substantial one in this case and will remain the fundamental solution of all the problems of the economic life of the black man everywhere. Were it possible to make the above answer an injunction to the race it would have a cumulative effect — giving of force and effect to all and every economic or business adventure that members of the race would conceive or aspire to.
Could Employ 100,0000
"My forty-two years of business experience as owner of a department store reveals to me that, if I were to give my daughter lina could fully appreciate, what 'Get one of our own' would mean to the race's prosperity and independence and how far removed our girls and women would be

OWN YOUR OWN HOME
In the south where most of our people come from nearly everybody who is anybody owns something. "A little home all my own someday" idea is in the minds of little children, and when they become grown up, are property owners.
The same can be dene right here in New York City. It may have more cash—not very much more—but at any rate look at property No. 247 West 188th street, then come in and see us...You will be surprised how easily you can own your Owm Home.
from the discrimination and indigenities of store keepers of other races. I could establish a chain of department stores that 'would North Carolina and give employment to 100,000 men, and women'. Then North Carolina Negros would be in position to secede from this type of unjust discrimination, and the other states joining in, would soon be able to secede with its rightful phase along with other peoples of the nation.
Must Give, Not Take, Tips
"Claireness Darrow says that before we can get our rightful place we must stop atoping around with hat 'in hand,' begging tips, but must grow in wealth and business standing and be able to give tips." Dr. Westerman, another friend of the Negro, says. The first thing for the Negro to learn is to love, respect and patronize his own race, and stop trying to be a white man when you know you you are a black man. The Negro is the man and business standing there would be less jim-crowism and discrimination.
J. M. Harrison says if the Negro people can't, have faith in each other who will have faith in them.
Dr. Kelly Miller says the weakest faculty of the Negro is his will and unless he cultivates more energy and strength of will power, he can never make a respectable comparison with other races in the field of efficiency, practical and business achievement.
Questioned specifically on the quoted statement by one of the dentists that "there is no business in our people", Mr. Evans vigorously dissented. Said he.
Salvation In Economic Life
"I disagree with him seriously. Suppose, many years ago, when we had no colored dentists, we had said, 'There won't be any colored dentists, and then sat in the dentist would not, have been in a State Dental Association, championing the rights of any imposed on people. "No, I say, let us as a race-get down to practically in our homes, our own homes, instead of keeping all the children too long in school studying cube root and Latin-root, let some of them study the root. that they say is the source of all evil, (but is not), the money, or business root (or not). "One old colored man once said and aptly too, "Money for this world, and grace-for the next."
"I submit that, the salvation of the Negro people, like the salvation of other people, will ultimately come through his economic, as well as his religious and educational, life."

OFFICER BOOKER FACES GUNMAN IN HALL WITH FISTS Pulled Trigger As Officer Came Up Stairs, But Gun Jammed
While walking his beat, at an early hour on-Saturday morning, April 23 Patrolman George Booker of the 16th Precinct, he-revolver shots from the apartment house at 115 West 14th street, and was informed by curious-standers that a man was trying to-kill his wife. Officer Booker, a standee, said he ran into the building and ascended the stairs to the third floor, where they were halted by a command from head of the fourth flight of stairs telling them to "look out". Looking up, the officers, lived in the house, standing up there with a German automatic, of heavy calibre in his hand. Booker, with his own gun buttoned beneath his overcap, did not take time, to attempt to draw it, but rushed up the stairs as Sewell aimed his gun, and immediately, the automatic had 'jammed' and 'failed to fire'.
Reaching-Sewell, Officer Booker-let fly with his first and down went Sewell, but as he hit the floor, the man attempted to use his gun as a bludgeon. However, Officer Booker and Sergeant Joyce quickly overcame him and, after disarming him, took him to the police-station.
Arraigned in the Washington Hightower Sewell was held to the grand jury in $2,500 on a charge of felonious assault, and an additional $1,000 on a charge of violating the Sullivan law.
Officer Booker appeared before the grand jury on Tuesday, May 3, and it is reported that true bills will be returned on both charges.
"The 4th Commandment"
At Douglass Theatre
Emory Johnson might, in way, be regarded as the O. Henry of the film drama. His ability to crystallize the tense drama of every day life into a great motion picture is unusual.
Like the famous author he sees the "battle of humanity with its struggles and pleasures through movie glasses that place the soils in the eye," the commonplace and the homely are jewels of poignant drama to this director. His sympathetic perception reflects in his productions with obvious power.
"The Fourth. Commandment!" at the Douglass Theatre is the latest product of Emory Johnson's talent. It unfolds a story of mother love real and vivid with a sensational pentameter that is both heartwarming in it. In two mothers, both superbly portrayed, struggle and sacrifice to attain their share of Love.
Belle Bennett, magnificent in disaster and human at all times, rises, to unforgettable heights as the 'modern mother, Mary Carr, simple, genuine and lovable, gives motherhood a new crown.
Henry Victor, an English actor, comes to the fore in masterful support of Mhs Bennett.
A remarkable array of screen personages appear in the story which carries its theme through three generations. Among the best known are June Mallowoe, Robert Agnew, Frank Elliott, Kathleen Myers, and John Willard.

Looking back, she could see the florist motioning and gesticulating. At the same time, a policeman started running, toward her, in hand. Panic-striken, the girl flew to the first haven she saw, and she joined a neighborhood warehouse. She leaned against the wall and it gave way. She heard shots being fired, felt herself falling and—

Cotton fabrics for warm weather wear are of interest to everybody. Many charming weaves, patterns, and colors have appeared to tempt the home sewer. Not every woman, however makes an appropriate selection when it comes to designing her dresses after she has bought the materials, the Bureau of Hospice Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture points out.
"Aside from its light weight, cool, texture, and refreshing colors, the main reason for choosing cotton for summer clothing is because you can wash it. Common sense suggests that cotton dresses should be designed so that they are easy to wash and iron, at home. It is obviously a mistake to make them fusy and elaborate, with too many, pleats, tucks, or odd-shaped pants that may not look the best after laundering. A lot of cotton dresses are needed if one wishes to be daunting, and this fact increases the work of the home launder. Almost every woman needs from three to six washable dresses a week.

ness tendencies of the Negro population:
His comments on what he saw and what he failed to see were (full of pithy) suggestion, as to the opportunities let run to waste, according to his judgment. He especially deplored the lack of retail business enterprises and pointed to the Jewish section, on the East Side, as a sample of what the Negro should be doing. He claimed that the outside world was induced to visit the East Side in the quest for bargains of all kinds, produced by Jewish manufacturers or handled at a profit by their jobbers. He argued that you must have something to sell cheap, but at a profit, in order to attract the outside buyers to trade with you.
A BIG PROBLEM TO SOLVE
Commenting upon an editorial in last week's Age, as to the advisability of placing a trained worker in the Women's Court, for the purpose of looking after young colored delinquents, Magistrate Jean H. Norris not only approved the suggestion, but offered to give the benefit of her experience in helping to carry out the plans that may be formulated. Judge Norris emphasized the need of choosing a woman for this work who not only possesses real social vision, but one who is deeply interested in the problem presented. She must also be in a position to give her entire time to the effort to rehabilitate and restore to society the girl who has made her first misstep.
According to this view of the economic situation the Negro must have something to sell, if the race is going to get on in the world and establish itself as a factor ofany importance in business. While there are a few thriving business institutions in Harlem promoted by members of the race, they make but a local appeal and cater mostly to a neighborhood demand. It may be that the race as a whole is not gifted with the trading instinct, nor has it practiced the art of salesmanship, except to a limited extent. It has not made its mark in the manufacturing industry, although it was a Negro who invented the device by which the making of shoes by machinery was successfully accomplished.
THE PRESIDENT'S HESITANCY
In the discussion of the chances of Mr. Coolidge being named for another term in the Presidency, which most political writers concede he can have if he so decides, some stress was laid upon a quality which has not helped the President in his relations with the Republican Senators. This is what one writer styled the President's hesitancy, which embarrasses even those who support his policies. This hesitancy has been displayed in such contingencies as the Nicaragua and Mexico troubles, in the dealings with the Anti Saloon League and the Hoover episode, with the promotion of the Secretary to command of the Mississippi flood situation.
It was the advice of Judge Norris that one step at a time be taken, the most important step at present being the placing of a trained worker in the Women's Day Court, whose work would be sustained by the backing of a recognized and substantial organization. This is the work that was suggested for the Federation of Women's Clubs and the Federation of Churches, as making a peculiar appeal to their members. The girls for whose benefit this step is urged are mostly between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one, who have been charged with being wayward and incorrigible. Their parents as a rule have lost control over their movements and the court is appealed to as the last resort to save them from becoming hardened offenders.
The theory of success in business, as practised by the trading nations, like the Jews, is to introduce or invent something that the buying public demands and to dispose of it at a profit. That a bargain will always attract buyers is part of the philosophy of trading. The economic problem of the Negro is to evolve something that will appeal to the buyer as a bargain and yet return the seller a profit. It may be labor, skilled or unskilled, or it may be some product of his genius or his inventiveness. But according to one of the ancient race of traders, a people must have something to sell, that the outside world will esteem to be a bargain, before it can be classed as an economic factor in business.
While cases of this sort are pending, is the period in which the intervention of a trained worker may prove most effective in returning these girls to the right path and saving them for future usefulness to society. Many of them are by no means vicious, but simply flighty with the irresponsibility of youth and the desire to see life. They get into difficulties because they are without proper supervision or advice and advantage is frequently taken of their inexperience.
Magistrate Norris has pointed out a practical way to start at solving this problem of the delinquent girls of the race. It is up to our church and welfare organizations to tackle the problem in real earnest by furnishing the means to place a trained worker in the field and keeping her on the job until further steps are required in the matter. No more important task could command the energies of our church and women's organizations. They should plan to begin this work at once.
There are certain lines of occupation or industry, in which the Negro has earned a reputation for excellence which might be sold to advantage. For example, some culinary experts pronounce colored cooks as among the best that America has produced. If this judgment could be sold to the great American public it would create a demand for our cooks that would mean both fame and financial reward for those who could make good. The merits of Negro music, song and dancing have been pretty well sold to the amusement world, but the largest profits from it have been grabbed by the white imitators, who saw the opportunity and put on blackface to reap the harvest.
All the members of the Republican National Committee, including such notable representatives of the race as Benjamin J. Davis of Georgia and Perry W. Howard of Mississippi, have declared in favor of Mr. Coolidge's renomination. We cannot blame Messrs. Davis and Howard for proving themselves to be of the same political calibre as their white associates on the committee, in joining in the surrender to political expediency, which dictated that the committeemen should support the administration that deals out their political patronage. It would have been political suicide for them to have done otherwise, and yet there have been Negro leaders like Wright Cuney of Texas who dared to defy a president and oppose his renomination even at the cost of political office.
THE MATTER WITH GREYCOURT.
At Greycourt, in this State, the Department of Correction of the City of New York maintains a workhouse for women, where industrial instruction is afforded the inmates, who are committed to its care. One peculiarity about this institution is the statement that no colored women are permitted to be sent there. It appears to be one of those unwritten rules of the department, like the one prevailing at Welfare Island, which requires that only colored women shall be detailed to the workhouse laundry.
While the Negro cannot compete with the Jew as a trader, he has peculiar qualities which enable him to fit certain grooves of the wheel of American business. His immediate problem is to find those grooves, and to demonstrate his capacity to fit in them. In the meantime, let him exercise the gifts that he has already acquired and prepare himself for service in any capacity that appeals to his individual bent. The industrial field is widening every day and new avenues are opening for those who have the courage to try them.
All the world is a market, and the man or woman who has something to sell at a bargain will not fail for a purchaser, according to the theory of our Jewish friend. And we must admit that he is in a position to speak by the book.
Mr. Coolidge's administration has brought much of disappointment so far as the Negro voters are concerned. He has had it in his power during the past four years, to wipe out by a simple executive order, all of the racial discrimination and segregation introduced in the government departments at Washington and in the Federal service throughout the country under the Wilson administration. His political hesitancy or some other negative quality in his makeup has kept him from doing that simple act. Personally he has exuded a spirit of friendly feeling toward the race, although he has signally failed to estimate correctly either the need or the wisdom of fair dealing with its representatives. A few kind words here and there and a pat on the back seemed sufficient as a palliative for most any complaint. As to the evils consequent on segregation in the civil and military service of the nation, and the injustice done in the denial of promotion and opportunity; Mr. Coolidge probably has no conception. And yet he has had the power to wipe out most of these evils at any time within the past four years. The third term movement may enroll some opposition to Mr. Coolidge in the West, reinforced by the dissatisfaction among the farmers, but the prospects are that he will be nominated and it will take a pretty strong Democrat to heat him in the election. But Presidential hesitancy has stood in the way of Mr. Coolidge making any strong appeal to the Negro voters of the country as a candidate to succeed himself. They must look further
The Commissioner of Correction is Frederick A. Wallis, who was appointed to that post in January 1923, and who is removable at the pleasure of the Mayor. He is a holdover from the Hylan administration and there have been frequent hints that his tenure of office was ndne too certain under the present mayor. Complaints have been rife as to laxity of discipline under his rule of the city prisons and a recent outbreak in the Tombs' was attributed to this cause. At any rate, it is indicated that Commissioner Wallis permitted' or encouraged segregation among the wards of the city based upon color discrimination.
PROTECTION FOR HUSBANDS.
In these days of woman's rights, it is refreshing, if somewhat unusual, to find the courts holding that there are some rights still reserved for husbands, even if those individuals are of the masculine sex. An official referee in the New York Supreme court recently ruled that it was cruel for a young wife to remain away from home until 1 o'clock in the morning playing cards, three times a week; to call her aged husband "an old fool" and "a dumbbell;" to declare that she did not want to spend her evenings with him because he was "ignorant, uninteresting, not a good conversationalist and not good company." The wife's complaint was dismissed and the costs and disbursements of the action were awarded to the injured husband.
The fact that no colored women are sent to the workhouse at Greycourt would seem to corroborate this charge. Segregation of prisoners based upon the separation of first offenders from hardened inmates would appear to be reasonable and based upon sound penological grounds, but the idea that colored prisoners only should be sent to the laundry and that none should be allowed to receive industrial instruction at Greycourt is subversive of all democratic principles. If such segregation is based solely upon the color of the female wards of the city, it is no wonder that Commissioner Wallis has raised the question of his adequacy to fill the post, which he has occupied for the past four years. Mayor Walker should look around for a new Commissioner of Correction.
Another suit involving marital indefectives revealed the fact that the complainant husband had for years, given his pay envelope to his wife, who at first allowed him sufficient money for carfare and cigars. Enter she cut out the allowance for cigars, buying a box of five cent cigarettes.
A shrewd observer of the Jewish race had occasion recently to visit Harlem. And to this day, the Museum

THE AGE READERS' FORUM
Judge Abrams' Attitude
Editor of The New ork YAge:
I desire you to publish in your paper this communication as I believe the facts therein contained will be of great interest to the readers:
have been a resident of the City of New York for upwards twenty years, and during that period I have had occasion to appear in the various courts of the city and at no time have I experienced such marked discountey on the part of a presiding justice as I have experienced in the Seventh Judicial Court during the past few months since the election to office of Judge Abrams.
I have sat in the Seventh District Municipal Court on more than one occasion and heard this Justice express himself in a manner that is, wholly unbecoming that of a judge. He takes particular pains, whenever an opportunity arises, (and that is quite frequent) to remind litigants that they are colorless and his treatment of this particular rude and abusive, not only rude and abusive, but most general conduct in the courtroom is conducive to race hatred and prejudice.
I believe that it is the function of a Judge to conduct his Court in a fair and impartial manner, and to administer justice, fairly and impartially, in order that the highest respect may be shown the Judiciary. It is indeed unfortunate the lack such an individual as performs justice upon the rights of citizens who are entitled to equal protection of the law. I trust that the conduct of this particular justice will be so impressed upon the minds of the litigants of color who visit the Seventh District Municipal Court, that, in the future, they will cast their votes, not for the man who proclaims to be the "best friend" to the colored man, but to the man who is qualified, in all respects fairly and impartially of Judge, fairly and impartially of render justice, without regard to race-creed or color, to litigants seeking justice."

WEEKLY NOTES FROM INDIA
By The Age Special Correspondent
Mahatama Gandhiji's Bad State of Health.
Owing to constant over-work Mahatama Gandhiji suffered from giddiness, in his southern India tour, so much so that he had to give up the thrivial tour in the interest of the poor people of India. He is lying at Belgium, and though the doctors have advised him to take complete rest for a few days, yet he is working very strenuously and the last article he wrote for Young India, was on Cow's protection from his bed. The recent reports state that he is improving. It would interest the reader that he has been treated by several Indian princes in Southern India to be their guest during his sojourn in their territories.
that the British Labor Party, the liberals and the conservatives have the same time to play when the question of granting relief to Indians comes in for practical politics. It was same Lord Olivier, who during his official capacity in the Cabinet sanctioned and certified the barbarous Bengal Ordinance, of which thousands of Bengalis have suffered and suffer human treatment at the hands of the so-called liberty losing British regime in India.
The Exchange and the Government.
Speaking over the exchange controversy, Lord Birkhead, made one of the characteristically hypocritical, insolent and notorious speeches, declared that it was the "Courageous Skill" of his Minister, Sir Bassil Bracket in India, that he had been the guest during his sojourn in their territories.
The Bengal Detenus and Lord Birkenhead.
"For tortious bombast and patronising puerilities, Lord Birkenhead's latest pronouncement upon India at the time of debate in the House of Lords has no parallel even in his own surly record of speeches. So offensive in his rigorable that many Indians would forfeit the claim for an early inquiry into the Indian Constitution, if not only his Lordship would in kindness agree that mean nothing whatsoever except the boast of supercilious self-assurance, Lord Olivier, the Ex-Labor Secretary of State of India, at whose initiative the debate was enacted, seemed satisfied at the attitude of his successor, Lord Birkenhead. In refusing, to release the detenus, Lord Birkenhead stated that he had been constantly in consultation with the Bengal government, and he did not contemplate a policy of indefinite detention of the detenus, so would be likely to lead to further outbreaks and therefore he would not attempt to deflect or set aside the judgment (which depends upon the police service) of the Bengal Government. Differences in the

On Vaccination
Almost everyone of us recognizes a good investment when one comes to our attention. If we hear of some real estate we can buy for a thousand dollars and know we will be able to sell it a year later for three thousand, we are sure this is a good investment and we don't hesitate to put our money into it, if we have sufficient cash at our disposal. Vaccination against smallpox is a good investment. If you have it done by a private physician it costs very little. If you cannot afford it, you may go to a clinic where you can have it done free. It does not make you ill and, in fact, causes a negligible amount of trouble, time and money. Yet it safeguards you from smallpox, in you and most loathsome disease.
Smallpox is still more prevalent than most of us realize. Every little while there is an outbreak of it. It causes a great deal of suffering and often proves fatal. Ourselves are not alone in who recover from the illness are left with deformities in the shape of pock-marked faeces and bodies. Yet smallpox can be prevented. There is no need for anyone to suffer from the disease. Vaccination makes one absolutely immune for a period of about seven years. Often two will make one immune for life. This is the only way to safeguard against the disease, however, and the only way to prevent it. Everyone should be vaccinated. If you and your family have not been done, go to your doctor or nurse. It will prove a good investment. The returns in feeling safe in knowing that you run no risk of having smallpox will be well worth

1925, which was shelved for
more than six months has been
published, which states that Government will have to revise the

Under the heading of "The Working Wife," the Western American of Oakland, Cal., said that the issue of importance to the working classes here and abroad is "Shall the wife work?" It contributed to the discussion as follows:
As always there are two sides to everything. It depends entirely upon the circumstances of the home. The husband is striving to maintain every penny that he can, and yet needs aid, let the wife do her little bit, yes. But on the other hand, if the husband is indifferently squandering his wages and expects the wife to keep things going on the money she makes she has a perfect right to rebel.
Again, the duties at home are not enough for ambitious wives and they sally forth to bring in a bit of extra change in exchange for their la
One woman solved her problem. We all know that each problem in life must be solved differently when dealing with humans. She had five children, one husband, and herself in her family. The husband not being well trained, turns in only a small course and is holding down a good position in a store. The oldest boy, 16, helps buy a garage and car with his earnings and the girl, 17, cares for the smaller children. That way they are all happy.
Every wife and mother who keeps a home properly and brings up a family of children is entitled to be regarded as a "working wife." Whether the wife should also become an outside wage earner depends entirely on the circumstances and necessities of each case. Every married couple must settle that for themselves.
The scurrulous editors of the New York Evening Post, in referring to the part played by Negro voters in the recent Chicago election, have aroused much resentment in the Negro press. The St. Luke Herald of Richmond stigmatized the Post as "the Northern Rattlesnake," while the Baltimore Herald Commonwealth said it showed itself "in the gloss of the most vicious and dangerous newspapers of the country." The Baltimore paper added:
In Baltimore a mayoral campaign is now an progress. Although classed as a Southern city the Negro is not an issue in our campaign. The Democratic candidate, Mr. Curran, is popular with all groups and classes. Scores of the leading colored citizens, ministers, men of all professions and walkers of life who have never voted for a Democrat, have declared for him and he will receive a large Negro vote. The Negro does not want to run Harlem nor Baltimore, but when attacked and made an issue he will vote for those who do not raise the issue.
The crux of the matter seems to be that the race is learning to use the ballot as a means of defence, which evidently does not suit the Post and other preachers of intolerance.
Commenting on the appointment of Bishop Archbold J. Carey to the position of Civil Service Commissioner in Chicago, by mayor Thompson, the Washington Tribune said:
That the action, while most gratifying as an evidence of his recognition of the right of the Negro to the municipal government in the municipal government also be a matter of more than passing concern to the church itself. Most people who have a conception of the church as filling a separate and dis
he charges that the public men for creating the prejudices among themselves which according to His Lordship do not allow the Government to preserve law and order. If this Government; could not preserve law and order in spite of its heavy machinery of military troops and automatic regime, what utility use this Government is to the sake of the taxpayers? Will it be considered unimportant or disqualified if Indians really desire to do away with this impotent Government? But the Government is not so impotent, as it leads others to hellse. It wants to rule India with a stern hand and by its policy of divide and, rule and treacherous weapons, are at its commands when some rosting young blood of India comes to the rescue of the country to save her from the clutching of innocent woke. They are cruelly tortured and publicly punished within the prison, tells so as to drive the fury of their patriotism out of their pains.
The latest point has been reached and if the Government could not come to its senses, the success of China is a living lesson to Indians, to once more revive their policy of non-operation with the Government in full swing and bend it to popular will or uproot its tyrannical foundations from India. Several Indians, even went a step forward to cooperate with the Government in making their machines easy in anticipation that British men would keep up their promised gradual self-government in India, but the result is otherwise. The general public lost its confidence in the leaders who cooperated with the Government and are now awaiting one to lead them from this chinacic present-day politics to the goal, long cherished of their total independence. The day is drawing close, they are coming soon.

tirtel place, in-human affair will re-
ceive a permit to become a secu-
ral office holder;
Already the church has lost much of its power over the lives and hearts of men, because its ministers are becoming mere men of the world, practical politicians, receivers and disinterested political spindlers, the subordinator lakeyes and handy men of political managers. All of this hurts the church.
This is not the first time that the African Methodist Episcopal Church has contributed to the office-holding contingent. Bishop H. M. Turner held a Federal position, under Reconstruction, Bishop W. T. Vernon was Register of the Treasury, Rev. J. M. Townsend, Recorder of the Land Office and Rev. Solomon P. Hood, Minister to Liberia.
Garland Anderson, the former San Francisco bell hop, whose play, "Appearances," was given a brief show in New York, returned to the West and obtained another trial for his production in Los Angeles. The California Eagle of that city said of the play:
"Appearances" is beautiful in its simplicity, the author, as has been said, makes no pretension to ability as a play-wright, but seeks to inspire the thinking world with the truth as to certain existing conditions. In his plot, Mr. Anderson wore enough humor to dispel any gloom he might be pre-supposed by his prophecy.
The actors selected are able and easily adapted to their parts, especially good is Ralph Cloninger, who is presenting, directing, and acting in "Appearances."
We believe that, if Mr. Anderson could have added a little more dramatic force, and stronger word usage in his plea to the jury as well as in his presentation speech, "Appear in his plea and an active appeal than it does. However, Catland Anderson, in this dramatic production, has rendered a yet unold service to his race, and delivered a message of love to the world.
The writing of a successful play is held to be one of the most difficult forms of literary composition. Mr. Anderson should not illusinate to study the art of the playwright; if he desires to make his "message of love to the world" effective.
According to the Boston Chronicle, the colored club women of Massachusetts in their recent convention denounced the brutal sport of the "African dodger" and sought to have it banned as a fair attraction. It said:
Sixten hundred women, represented in clubs of the Massachusetts State Union at their 12th Annual Convention, Tuesday, Patriarch's Day at St. Mark's Congregational Church, passed a resolution to ban African dodgers from the State. The resolution was brought about by the report of the Brockton Emergency Rifle and Rifle Royer, secretary, when she told the club their base been active in getting signatures signed to have the African dodgers from the Brockton Fair. They are approaching organizations in Brockton and vicinity and making a strong plea to the Fair promoters. They has been felt for sometime that their booths at public amusement places have a brutalizing effect and tend to ward racial disgust.
This brutalizing sport was abolished in New York State by an act of the legislature, in which both Republicans and Democrats joined. Why it should still be permitted in so enlightened a commonwealth as Massachusetts is a mystery.
A plea for simple funerals was embodied in the example set by W. C. Baker, a prominent underaker of Norfolk, who requested before his death that his obsequies be wished ostentation. Commenting on his request, the Norfolk Journal and Times said
During his career Mr. Baker had conducted hundreds of funeral his intimate association with bereaved families, his thorough understanding of the needlers expense and annoyance that are frequently invited through ostentations public mournings undoubtedly prompted him in making the request that simplemen be made of usefulness, but perhaps no resident in his life was more characterized to serve society better than he example he caused to be set in the mind of his funeral. For some time it has been generally amused the funerals of prominent counselers approach the grieves in a sense that we care that the grieves be remembered in a new member of our community. We beat tomb- and cemetery and bornees ceremonies on the body in somewhat the fashion of our African ancestors, and they follow the corpse to its final resting place amidst the pump and speaker. We finally we make our funerals an important for the more cultured element. Mr. Baker's long supervision of the memorial made him thorough, out of this fact and he said: "the preparations before death to be made any such savage display that 'had crossed the bar' must be honored is his memory for the display of such wisdom on his

Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church
"O. If Thou Hadst Known!" was the theme of Pastor Strachan last Saturday morning at the Adventist church on 12th street. The theme was drawn from the nineteenth shape in the forty-second to the forty-fourth verse.
Said the minister: "In the Scripture read, we have a most significant and exceedingly terrible contrast, namely, a long excited parade of exuberant people, punctuating the line of their march with frantic yells at the top of their voices, and one single character in them, who would be with agony, and whose face was drenched with tears, and whose happiness of some people makes them cry; they shed tears of joy. But that particular day Jesus was not weeping for joy. One writer says, the water from his eyes literally sprinkled the carpet of palms over which he rode. What a scene it must have been! Jesus in tears, he must have been! He is laughter! What a contrast; what an anomaly! A whole city happily concerned over Him. They had in their minds one thing; He in His mind another. They, viewing one picture, he another. They confident that now would be wrought out their political freedom and national redemption. He knowing that these would have to come in a d'Erent way. He knew that they would be woefully disappointed, he burst (or saying, "O Jerusalem, O, if you only knew."
"Instead of national enmine, instead of political ascendency coming to them, there was nought ahead but wreck, and ruin, and blasted hopes. Before their eyes on that first Palm Sunday rose a vision of a glorious commonwealth. Befo e the Saviour's eyes rose the picture of the Roman legion. Jesus saw alllhueufted against his Sky Caesar's army, an invading camp, a deadly foe, hugging the city with a dreadful embrace. He saw the costly dwelling, the marble palaces, the beautiful temple, all leveled to the ground. He saw amidst the ghastly ruins the very people who were now exclaiming bozanna to Him. He wept aloud at the top of the leaped and at the top of the prospectus over the prospects before them. What contrasting picture? What mistaken zeal Jesus Christ never became their king. He never restored their throne. Instead of peace to them, their national life was broken up and they were dispersed to the ends of the earth. They became a reproach to the world for all men learned to hate them.
"Christ said, that, had the Jews only know; then their history would have been different today. They did not know; they were hopelessly stubborn, and willingly blind. When they thought they were, marching to success, Jesus said they were headed for rocks, ruck, and ruin. There is some one in this congregation this morning facing a calamity, and don't know it. It would be well for us all this morning to pause and examine the course we are pursuing and policies we are supporting, and the life we are living. We should go no further, but right where we are, do not like another step, if that thing is going to plunge us, some future time, into economic distress, social shame, family wreckage, and moral bankruptcy.
"Those Jews who lived in Jerusalem 1900 years ago thought all was well with their souls. Jews wept over them because they were sealing their eternal destiny, and did not know it. For three and one half years Jesus had tried to spell their destinies to them, but they were so self-determined in their own ways, that you could not show them anything. The Nazarene taught them, but they were indifferent. They headed for the rocks and disaster and did not know it."
St. Paul Baptist Church
Th work of the church goes apace. The B. Y. P. U., led by Ming Marion Johnson, was well attended, and a full of interest Wednesday night. David Doughty former president, opened the topic, "Changing the Chinese." As usual the young man showed the the subject, and brought to the subject, and waving the present conditions in China, the discussion that followed was full of interest. Friday night the prayer service was well attended, and when the pastor, was called upon, he gave a helpful talk of "Christian Living" as Taught by Christ. He announced that from time to time, he would give talks on the teaching of New York's Christian society, the life of Christian society.
WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH
deacons were together early, and having had prayer they then entered the church, at the strains of the organ were heard. Our choir robed, marched to the choir loft, left the church, and thought of the worshippers. The pastor, preached on "The Secret Power of God's Kingdom," and "God's Reconciliation, respectively, morning and evening.
Rev. V. D. Jenkins brought a message in the afternoon at 4. under auspices of the Buzy Bee Club. The choir is singing as it never sang before, and the pastor, who is just carried, away with good singing, has arranged to give more opportunity to the singers.
First Emmanuel Church
The following text is the basis from which Pastor Bolden developed the, thoughts that are herein set forth; "Simon Peter saith into them, I go afishing, they also say unto him, We go-with thee. They went forth and entered into a ship immediately and that night they caught nothing." St. John 23.3 Theme: Realizing the Presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ the Emmanuel at All Times's Most Important
Pastor Bolden said: 'The brain power and 'right' thinking faculties in the mind have never given the fullest expression of the consciousness to 'do great and divine things'. In fact, it seems as if a very small percentage think constructively and progressively at all. People are much interested in 'expressing the highest ideals of life as was revealed to us by our Lord Jesus' Christ the Emmanuel. Their habits, modes of thought and daily action impress the person who gives study to them that they are mentally absorbed in such daily work. Will give the person the opportunity which may secure food clothes, aplace to stay, and an opportunity to indulge in sensual pleasures. 'Perhaps it is true that throughout the millennials of the unfoldment of the mind of man these factors have dominated his life, and are no group or classes or access to a facet of government and scheme of life.

What is termed ideal and practical in human experience have always distracted the learner, and seeker for truth, because a realization of material things through the medium of the five senses is the only good. To live and act within the dominion of universal and ever widening principles, cherishing ideals, adoring and worshipping the unseen, but very real supreme, God-man, our Lord Jesus Christ the Emmanuel was out of the range of thought of: His chief apostle Peter, and the members of the apostolic college, who belonged to college of personal experience with Him, his experience and His divine-human manifestation to them after His resurrection. Hence, if they who were so close to Him, and they whom He had taken so much personal interest in and commanded to follow Him, showed evidence of backsliding and failure to realize His mission and purpose through them in the world of humanity, may we not expect to experience through the centuries from His resurrection, many professed followers and believers in our Lord the Emmanuel would become apostates.
- As then, even so now, the apostate groups is influenced by the chief pastors and chief thinkers. And they, like Simon Peter, say unto them: "I am of a goatish and to the goatish and to the goatish." We go with them." And they go forth immediately in a ship upon the sea of human life, desiring and expecting to catch something that will satisfy the hungry needs and desires, and like the apostles of old, they fish through the night of doubt and despondency and they catch nothing.
Many church organizations and the Order of St. Lukes, use the signs and symbols of the glorious memorials of our Lord Jesus the Emmanuel to attract attention and give them prestige to sensually gather people and money for a cause where there is more interest and thought given for wicked pleasures and burying the than for returning the unrighteous to returning the sink soul and teaching people how to live up to the highest ideals. God our heavenly Father wills that believ-

It is both dishonest and unfair to use the names of, since church men and women as titles of councils and groups of ball-giving carnal-minded people. And it is most wicked to take the name of any saint of the apostolic college and corrupt the mind of youth by desecreting saint as a party to sinful acts as for the Cross of our Lord the Emmanuel, the glorious Cross, the sacred Cross, no good can come to the individual or the group ultimately who desecrate it and make it a sign of their sensual and wicked activities.

In the first there, were ten two-base, hits and two home runs the home runs being made by Manager John Henry Lloyd and Rojo, catcher for the Lincolnns. The second game had almost as many hits as the first and one home run, Mason being responsible for the circuit clot.
Hildale Rallies Are Useless.
In each contest Hildale rallied the last inning and all but tied the score. Manager Frank Warfield, Judy Johnson and Clint Thomas made doubles in the last inning and these, with a single by Washington, were responsible for three runs. Two runs were scored in the last inning of the second game by Hildale when Briggs, Carr and Yancey singled and Washington made a double.
"Nip." Winters was on the mound for the Darbyshire during the first game, and was given a severe pasting although it was apparent he was somewhat off his form. He allowed eight bases on balls. Rector, the opposing pitcher, was also hit hard but received excellent support. In the second game Cooktell and Gisentaner were the opposing pitchers.
George Seales had to quit the first game after five innings because of an injured knee received while sliding to second. And in the second game Clint Thomas received a possible fractured rib when he ran intoorge Fial at third base. Both players will probably be unable to play again for two weeks.

A. & T. College Nine Defeats Hampton, 11-0
1 By George W. Clark
Hampton Institute, Va.-The A.
A. and T. Bulldogs of Greenboro, defeated the Hampton Seasiders on Armstrong field, 11-10, on Saturday, April 30, in a game that was marred by many fielding errors and a driving northeast wind. The fighting Bulldogs deserve much credit for the contest; is a nip-and-tuck affair, and victory was not apparent, until the ending of the ninth innings.
The Bulldogs started a rally in the third bed by Coleman that netted the visitors five runs before Price could master the situation and retire the side. Along with the onslaught of the Bulldogs, the fighting Seasiders started the ball rolling.
From this point in the game both teams seemed to be on the hitting rampage and the Seasiders touched Faust quite frequently aided by errors, and in the might seventh the visitors were overtaken.
In the eighth the Bulldogs came back and started the belated rally, led by Lane, that netted them three more runs and enough margin to win the game.
Although the game was played with many untimely errors, the teams had some real stars in action worth mentioning. The Bulldogs had Duncan, catcher; Coleman, first base; Henderson, third; and Faust, pitcher. The Seasiders had Butler, leftfield; Williams, short; and Byrd, center-field.
Butler of Hamilton led at the bat with four hits out of five tries to the plate, and Henderson of A. and T came next with three hits out of five tries to the plate.
Score by innings.

Ben Lyon in "High Hat"
At Roosevelt Theatre
A couple of years' experience with a good stock company, playing a different role every week, is one of the finest methods of fitting oneself for a place in the motion picture acting field, according to Ben Lyon, who has the featured role in "High Hat," "Robert Kane's new comedy at the Roosevelt Theatre." "I had tried pictures before," says Lyon, "but it secured that I was dhooned to the extra list of life I grew very dependent on to a future in the stage. Then I was getting along well on Broadway but still there seemed to be no opening for a real chance in pictures.
"Then Miss Bonselle took hold of me and persuaded me to go to Providence in her stock company, and she took me to Fiddy's where I left, there after."
THE NEW YORK AGE
"I-learn more in stock than anywhere else as regards acting, and I am here to tell the whole world that one gains a great deal playing one part, rehearsing another and learning a third all in the same week. It gives you something that the regular stage cannot give, and which it requires years in pictures to get."
"High Hat" features Mary Brian and "Sam Hardy with Lyon. It is a wonderful story. James Ashmore Creelman directed from his own original story.

PRESIDENT NUTTER UPHOLDS JIM KEENAN IN CONTROVERSY ON CUBAN, MONTALVO
PRESIDENT NUTTER UPHOLDS JIM KEENAN IN CONTROVERSY ON CUBAN, MONTALVO
Atlantic City, N. J.—President Isaac Nutter of the Eastern League has upheld the contention of James J. Keenan, owner of the Lincoln Giants, that the Lincoln had acted in good faith in signing up Montalvo, the former Cuban star outfielder, to play with the New York clubb. However, the Western League, with which Montalvo was affiliated two years ago, continues to protest and Manager Lloyd withheld the Cuban outfielder from the Lincoln's lineup on Sunday and will do so until negotiations with the westerners are concluded.
Rain prevented the opening of the Eastern League on Saturday as scheduled, but all the teams got
vises that Lincoln will be represented in the Howard University Meet. This official announcement clears up certain misapprehensions respecting Lincoln-Howard relationships. With the entry of the Lincoln squad and St. Bonaventure squad the Howard meet gives promise of developing into one of the best collegiate meets of recent years. The large Howard squad will not have things its own way this year. Fast steppers from northern institutions are sure to split the points Local athletes who have been counted on as sure firsts are working up a deal of anxiety as a result of the above announcement.

Leviticus Lyon, In Steinway Hall, Sings Program That Pleases
Leviticus Lyon, tenor, deserved a much larger audience than greeted his historic performance in the Guild Hall in the Steinway Building at 113 West. 57th street on Friday night, April 29, in an interesting program of Italian, French, German and - English Words and Nero - Spirituals. When in asked numbers, however, was partly atoned for in enthusiastic appreciation.
Mr. Tjoo possesses a voice with lyric quality that is intriguing in his mezzo quality, especially in the middle register. In his lower register, he is slightly sluggish and in the upper reaches there is a tendency to hardness and lack of flexibility. But the singer's skill of utterance, acquired through evident industry in study and practice, application, enables him to overcome his difficulty and give his hearses an artistic and pleasing interpretation vocally.
The singer has a gracious stage presence, with self possessed assemblage of media and a sympathetic approach with his audience. His manner had just the element of cordial informality suited at the intimate moment of the small Guild Hall, and the vision was enhanced thereby.
- Formerly the tenor soloist in St. Mark's M. E. Church choir, Mr. Lyon is now holder of a fellowship, for voice study in the jihardk Musical Foundation Foundation that being his first year and that scholarship. He is his improving and broadening his art, dexposing himself with corsica.
*entious* *carmessness* to the task
His *accompaniments*, were, meticulously, played by Miss Andrades, Lindsay.
Mme. Louetta Chatman, coloratura soprano, is a burgster artist these days. She sang a program on Thursday night, April 28, in the Wilson Lamb studio of Orange, N. J., and the following Sunday afternoon, she appeared in joint reticual with Miss Sonona Talley, pianist at Grace Congregational Church of Harlem, the Rev. A. C. Garner, West 129th street, New York City. In the Orange recital, Mme. Chatman gave a program of considerable proportions singing for the most part with facile charm. The opening number, "Spring is come," the area from Coleridge-Taylor's setting of a longfellow for the final group of her final group, "Sylvan Roundelay," by Rinsky-Korsakow, were perhaps her least effective numbers. The first, with its difficult melodic intervals, was marked in several instances by departures from the pitch and by Rinsky-Korsakow number. Rinsky-Korsakow number was similarly treated.

Salem Choir Under Rudolph Grant Gives Pretentious Recital
One of the pretentious musical offerings of the season was the mixed program given by the choir of Salem, M. E. Church, Rev. R. A. Cullen, pastor, 129th street and Serenith avenue, under direction of A. Rudolph Grant, organist-choir-master, on Thursday evening, April
Part I was devoted to the leisure composition, "Seven Last Words of Christ," as set to music by Theodore Dubois, its belated rendition being due, according to reports, to a late 19th-century date during Holy Week. The deferment, however, enabled Prof. Grant to incorporate a program of numbers under the general heading of "Spring Music," and this was, of course, wide and interesting. The soprano solos of the choir, Mrs. Jennie Gowns had been ill for sometime, and her place was capably taken by Miss Olive P. Hopkins, soloist in the Mr. Olivet baritone, and the services of Francis Kaiserson, baritone, was also secured, as the parts written by the composer for the baritone voice, put too great, a tax upon the: regular solosist, timusius Mussia, basso, Mr. Kaitlin, solosist, Francis Fourth Word, solosist Mr. Williams doing other bass parts.
The excellent standard of Salem's fine choir was simply maintained in its singing of this work. Mr. Grant's control was always in evidence, and he has an almost unanimous facility for securing from the choir the necessary interpretation intention. The chorus work was commendable, fine, and such slight traces of nerveness as were in evidence can probably be attributed to the fact that members of the choir had been compelled to open up the church and serve as ticket takers and officers, as were the angular force of attendants not putting in an appearance until about 8:30.
Interest in the recital was manifest as early as 7:30, when the doffs were besieged by a crowd of would-be patrons, and this group was attained by later comings, to the point that there was need for traffic police control. In handling the throne
Solloats for the "Seven Last
Words" were Miss Olive P. Hookins,

Mrs Jessie Zackery, coloratura soprano, and Leonard Matthews, organist of Rush Memorial Church, were special guest soloists for this section of the recital. Mrs. Zackery played the "Traviata" aria. Mr. foul and a group of Spirituals, with Miss Jessie Corvington playing the accompaniments and Mr. Matthews playing the Mendelssohn Organ Concerto II and Clausman's Chorus. Mr. Kaiarson sings "Even brave heart" from Gounod's "Fausst." Mr. McGhee Greedieke saves "My Sweet Sweet sweet voice from Saints Saens" "Sangon et Délia."

Others numbers on the program, however, were given with more authority and consequent effectiveness. Blowenstein's "I" bears strong resemblance to some of our Negro spirituals and yas "well sung; and the same comment applies to the "I" am Titania" aria and "The Swallow" aria, Aqua's "Villanelle" ("The Swallow", and, to Weber's big aria,
"Ocean," from his opera, "Oberon.
A group of Negro Spirituals included two arrangements by Burleigh "Bye and bye and Wade in the water," and Riddick "Wall illa illa fifty fish and Ancled number was I jubwb. the Lord," and "Wade in the water" was repeated.
The proceeds from this recital are to pay for oil painting of the Hunt, and can Negro material, which the Forum has presented to Mr. Lamb for his studio.
Mrs. Cora Wynn Alexander was the composer and can of slight departure, or what appeared to be a departure, from the composer's score in several measures of the "Hiwahawa" number, her work was in her usual inimitable style.
Jerome Addison, Young
Baritone, Presented
By Helenney Winfield
Hemsley Winfield, who has been doing 'some splendid work as 'director of the Sckondi Players of New York, has been producing a young singer of 'perit to New Yorkers in 'the person of Jerome' N: Addison of 'Baltimore, who is, a member of the dramatic troupe, has a recital on Monday night. May 2...at the Triangle Theatre, 7th avenue, near 12th street, to a small discriminating audience, and a private monroe voice of promising worth.
It is of excellent timbre, but there is a tendency to overemphasize its color. The singer is quite young, and proper instruction and advice will quickly remedy this. He is a master of the virtuosious, and in the singing of it Mr. Addison revealed that his foundation work has been of the wisest sort. His intonation is super-excellent, both in English and German, and he is no slacker in his experience, and the more experience and the cultivated easier and more gracious stage presence (some friend should advise also against the sartorial error of a black tie with formal evening coat) and this young man will shed from him. Maurice D. Diggs, a mediocre pianist, added nothing to the program.
James Bell, Tenor,
Ini Pleasing Recital
An interesting program was presented by James Bell, tenor in his recital on Sunday, afternoon, May 11, 2014, at West 129th street. Mr. Bell, who studied for a long time with Harry Williams, now in Florida, offered a program of variety and worth ranging from compositions and arrangements of the Negro Spirituals of the 19th century. "Songs by Scarlett, Handel, Arne, Schubert, Franz, Franck, Jonza, Gounod, Colidge-Taylor and W. C. Fields-Finch," he wrote from Etienne Mehul's " Joseph," gave pleasure to Mr. Bell's hearers, and to these were added a group of Spirituals arranged byreference. Brown and Hall Johnson.
The assisting artist was Lydia Mason, pianist, who played two groups, one of Chopin numbers and the other of compositions by D. M. C. Finger, Andrades Lindsay was the satisfactory accompanist.

the matter came to its culmination, according to well-authenticated reports, for when Professor Grant entered the choir room as the church he found Minte. Extelle Robinson, an organist he had employed on a number of occasions, alting there. She informed him that he had been sent for by Peter Clunen to take charge of the rehearsal and to play on Sunday. Mr. Grant immediately escorted Minte. Robinsonoyer to the parsonage for a conference with the pastor, and for an understanding of the situation. According to later hapepings, this conference did clear up the situation, for when Mr. clear up the choir room, when the choir room he told, the choir members that he would be leaving.
Mr. Grant refuses to discuss for publication the conference in the parsonage, and Pastor Cullen was not located when an effort was made to get in touch with him; but it is gathered from later developments that he admitted sending for Mme. Robinson, giving a reason that he was not dependent on one individual in his work. This notwithstanding fact that the organist, Mr. Grant, is under contract with the board of trustees, the business officialy of the church.
Pastor Meets The Choir.
However, information from various sources is to the effect that when the choir members found out that the organist-chairmaster intended-leaving without holding the rehearsal, the president of the organization rushed, over to the parish to do and to say, "Sad pastor, she met me in the pastor's wife, and was told that Dr. Cullen and Prof. Grant had threshed the affair out and that everything had been settled satisfactorily. The choir official disputed this, saying that it could not be true, since Mr. Grant had gone. This information was quickly conveyed to the pastor, and he, too it is said, expressed amazement saying he the man was over there carrying on relation" in about time Dr. Cullen was in the choir room and he got there before Mr. Grant had gotten away.
And according to all reports, there followed a "hot time" for the next hour or so. The pastor asserted his authority, and claimed the right to say whatever he wanted, any time and intimated that the church had taken twenty trying to build up a personal following among the women of the choir and church. But when the pastor denied having insulted the member body of the choir, asking that all who felt aggrieved that all stood up said that all were insulted and one or two others. And when those not aggrieved were asked to stand, only two did so.
Advised To Use His Grace.
To the pastor's claim that he could say what he pleased, the members of the choir replied that while that might be true; they were uncleared for exorbitant and uncleared for exorbitant. And a member of the board of trustees who was present is reported to have made a speech, trying to pour oil on the troubled waters, in which he said that the officers employed there had been no consultation with the officers as regards Mine, Robinson and there was no question of her being employed. For an hour or more, it is said, there was a warm interchange of words with the pastor, some of the choir members, the other, anist, during which time some of the individual members 'were threatened with expulsion from the choir by the pastor. One sister is reported to have told him that he was treated, but he from both choir and church, but he didn't keep her out of heaven.
And the pastor was advised that he needed to use some, of the christian grace and forbearance he was wont to talk of with suchunction.
Finally, according to reports, the argument quieted glown and there was an apparent cooling of heated tempers, a smoothing of troubled minds. The argument was were in their respective places. Sunday morning, and the services was carried out as usual save that the pastor did not sing his customary pre-sermon song.

Pres. Peacock Is Defended and His Action In Discharging McMillan Is approved By Board At Meeting In Home Mission Office, N. Y. Raleigh, N. C.—The trustees of Shaw University, following upon the publicity given charges made by a former member of the faculty, Lewis K. McMillan, that President Peacock practiced segregation in administering affairs at Shaw, and that jim crow observances obtained, named a special committee to investigate and answer the charges, with C. C. Spaulding: president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co., as chairman; E. E. Smith, secretary; C. S. Brown, G. O. Bullock and J. W. Jones.
This committee reported that the board of trustees, in session at the rooms of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, New York City on April 22, had received the McMillan communication, and after consideration had been approved by President J. L. Peacock in dismissing McMillan from the faculty. Continuing, the report said:
Charges Were Unwarranted.
The trustees, after hearing from various sources the conditions as they actually exist at Shaw, felt that the charges or allegations made against the president, dean of the theological department, dean of women, and the business manager of the institution were unkind, unwarranted and defamatory that after well investigation it was found that Shaw had other investigations for the Negro race does not live every facility and accommodation desirable for professors and students. But it was learned that the president had indicated his purpose to carry forward a program for needed improvements which he had already conceived and desired to complete. Therefore, it is greatly regretted by the trustees that in such a time when plans were laid for improvements in various ways at the university, and because of such improvements, he had been appointed professor McMillan, thought it was to make wholesale accusations against the officials of the institution.
Criticisms Were Destructive
His criticisms were, altogether of a destructive sort, and were obviously malicious. The trustees not only regretted the course pursued by Prof. McMillan but thought his actions unwise and taken without mature deliberation on his part. It was learned from various sources that the professor was not methododox in his teaching of the scripture in the institution; the views he held were quite contrary to those taught by the department of theology at Shaw. Hence, it had been decided by the administration of the institution that he would not be retained as instructor after the expiration of the present season, because of his hereditary views pertaining to the sacred scriptures.
"It was learned by the trustees that Professor McMillan never approached the dean of the theology department of the president's institution which he suggest should be made in any of the courses of study or the method of procedure at the University.
"It was apparent from all circumstances that Professor McMilian was earnest in his effort to excite race feeling in attempting to regain aggriegation now practiced at the University between the races.
The Faculty Position
"In decided contrast to the impetuous, ill-advised attack by Professor McMillan is the same position taken by the faculty of Shaw University, expressed by a committee at the head of Prof. Ben Jrawley. The committee expressed itself as recognizing that not all conditions at Shaw are ideal, but recognizes also that the president has promised improvements in the favorable conditions, and that plan already under way to this effect.
In conclusion, the trustees do not make claim that the administration at Shaw is perfect, for that is humanly impossible. But if a good fact, that taken all in all, in a good businesslike, progressive administration functions at Shaw University.
We would dispassionately call the attention of the open minded public to a candid consideration of the question: What constructive of man who thawter has Professor A. K. McMullen, Professor of Art, the most complained anywhere of sufficient magnitude to entitle him to century men and measures of Shaw University; an institution that has good for the best the noblest, that there is in man; that has always sin1857 Eagle Brand has raised more healthy babies than all other infant foods combined.

Africa's New Day
For the first time in the annals of its history, there is a general awakening of interest in the educational problems of the African girl. There is also a rising tidal wave of race-consciousness, which demands an education really adapted to the needs of the counter, and one which will foster its natural heritage of African individuality, instead of shaping it to double and essential work of reconstruction educated African women themselves must undertake a large share. Hence the time has come for the training of the African girl of today to be the leader of African womanhood tomorrow. For the first six months there has been in New York a cultured refined exponent of this education, and the most successful of Carsly Hayford a native West African, who is over here in the interests of the 'Girls' Vocational School, which she founded with monies collected on a previous visit to America, in company with her talented 'gifted niece, the late lateutenabled Katherine Eagson Lamango

In its issue of April 23 The Age, editorially, called attention to the need of a trained woman worker in the courts to handle cases of female delinquents, first offenders in connection with a residential refuge for the accommodating of these girls while their cases are being investigated, and studied. This editorial was inspired by an address delivered by judge Jean H. Norris, New York City's first woman city magistrate, at a luncheon meeting of the Women's Auxiliary of the New York Urban League. It was pointed out that this particular effort should have a special appeal for certain women's organizations, and that "no finer work could be devised to call forth the united efforts of the State Federation of Women's Club, if they should decide to cooperate with the Federation of Churches."
Judge Norris has given further consideration to this subject, after reading The Age editorial, and under date of April 23 wrote the editor of The Age, suggesting that the most pressing need at present is a training of the workers in the Western Day Court, whose salary will be taken care of by a permanent and financially strong organization.
Letter from Judge Norris
The letter from Judge Norris is as follows:
City Magistrates Courts
"In my opinion it would be a wise and appropriate Women's Clubs and the Federation of Churches joined in an effort to place a trained social worker in the Women's Day Court for the purpose of after-care of young colored delinquents. The woman in this work must be interested in this work, must, in my opinion, be one with a real social vision and one who is deeply interested in the problem of the delinquent, girl and desirous of delinquency, habilitation and restoration to society of the girl who has made her first mis-step.
Only One Worker Needed
It will only be necessary to have one social worker and to have that worker assigned to the Women's Day Court, as there is the Family Court who is assigned to the family cases of your race.
The Florence Crittenden League, as you know, is an institution supported by private philanthropy, and the Women's Day Court are pending in the various courts are often held as material witnesses, and during the remand period between sentence and conviction from the Women's Day Court.
"If it is your intention to advocate the construction of a building for delinquent colored girls, this is 'a-matter' which must be viewed from many angles before you consider the girl between sixteen and twenty-one years of age who is charged with incorrigibility or waywardness by her parents, and who is arraigned in the Women's Day Court the problem of the girl who has been convicted for prosocial behavior and who, if placed in the proper environment, would justify the Court's belief in her and 'make good'. There are many young colored girls in the city, who are not by any means vicious, but who do get into difficulty because they are girls, who, on account of their inexperience, find themselves in the wrong environment.
Calls For Special Study
"I am very glad to know that the Federation of Churches and the Federation of Women's Clubs are taking a genuine interest in this big problem, but as I say, it is one which calls for a special guest show, which for our plan can be formulated which will eventually accomplish the result we are all aiming for.
"If at any time I can be of assistance in the formulation of plans, I assure you that I shall be very glad to give you the benefit of my experience. Personally I believe that one step at a time should be placed and from point of view the important step at present is the placing of a trained worker in the Woman's Day Court, who will be financed by a recognized and substantial organization.

In the City of Boston, there live two brothers who bear the reputation of being very fine men. One is a physician. The other follows the vocation of Pullman porter. In physique, she brothers are alike as two peas in a pod. Both are tall and commanding, with the type of figure which men admire and women adore. But there is where the ressemblance ends. Allie the porter, is by long odds the handsome facially, the more dignified in mein, and the one who, if you leave his vocation out of consideration, you would prefer to introduce to your "intellectualia" and "pretentious" friends.
Not, of course, because Andy, the doctor, "isn't polished; or that he is delicately in any of the social graces." As a matter of fact, Andy is a past master in the amenities of society. But the doctor is what is termed in unconventional circles a "bushwa." Perhaps it is his profession that accounts for this. But no, it is the vocation, because he was adept in this line before he acquired his present title. However, this characteristic doesn't detract from his ability as a physician, and a well-met fellow.
Now Allie could carry the role of physician with much more grace than his brother, for he has all the traits belonging to the medical profession—that is, the profession as it should be represented. He is quiet where Andy is loud; conservative where Andy is inclined to sportive. But these are only incidental characteristics. It is in the larger phases of character that Allie the porter, outshines Andy, the physician.
About fifteen years or so ago, both brothers worked as Pullman porters. But it was through the sacrifice of Allie that Andy was enabled to quit the oad and take up the study of medicine. It was Allie who kept the home fires burning while he of the medico was in school, their father having died while both were young. Not only was the widowed mother and the home supported by the porter brother, but the tuition fees and other expenses of the student were defrayed by him. Today, Dr. Andy Smith is a successful medical practitioner in the Bay State City. They say that he, like many of our Harlem doctors, has acquired considerable wealth through realty speculation in the last few years, all of which none of his friends envy him. Still, those who knew the history of the brothers' think of Allie as the greater of the two men, despite the difference in their vocations.

KRIGWA PLAYERS IN TOURNEY FOR D. BELASCO CUP Give "The Fool's Errand" By Enalie Spence At The Frolic Theatre
The annual Little Theatre tournament opened Monday night, at the Frolic Theatre with the presentation of one-act plays by the Union Players, of Bay Ridge; Brooklyn; the Krigwa Players, of the Little Negro Theatre of Harlem, and the Association Players of the Ninety-second Street Young Men's Hebrew Association.
The tournament will continue through this week, with presentations by Little Theatre groups from various parts of the country, including the Hebrew University, presented on Saturday, and prizes of $200 each will be given four groups selected from the entrants. With one exception the opening night of the tournament gave evidence of sharing a characteristic of those of past year in that the plays were below the par of the previous year, with the presentation by the Krigwa Players, "The Fool's Errand," by Fulalie Spence.

Cassie, the busybody, discovered what her eager imagination needed to a choice morsel of counsel for the Church Council the Uplift of Sinners, and gave her fellow members of the cast an excellent opportunity for some moving portraits of emotion.
Both acting and play were superb, and she found out that the baby clothes Carthan found in the locked bureau drawer in her brothers' home belonged to his wife and not to his daughter Maza but, fortunately for the audience, the discovery was not made until the Church Council had been called in to pass judgment on Maza and her two sisters.

A Community Problem Now A Community Profit
PROPERTY OWNERS in Harlem have always gone outside of the community for financial help. For this they have been paying enormous bonuses and meeting heavy payments. As a result of this, foreclosures were frequent. Harlem has formed its own mortgage company to overcome this condition. The company will lend its money at lower costs and better terms than most mortgage people.
Second Mortgage Profits
There are big profits in the second mortgage field which has always been controlled by a few people. This rich field of investment has been closed to the person of small means.
