OPPOSITION TO J. FINLEY WILSON'S REFLECTION AS GRAND EXALTED RULER SEEMS FUTILE AS GRAND LODGE OPENS
It is estimated that there are near to 70,000 Elks in New York City this week, attending the first grand lodge session of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. ever held in the country's greatest metropolis.
Of this number, some 12,000 are delegates to the grand lodge sessions in whose votes rest the hopes and ambitions of all those, seek elective office from the grand exalted ruler through the roster to the grand chapel using the order in which the list of officers appears in the official program.
As is usually the case, there are a number of candidates for various offices, but a peculiar combination of circumstances, fixes attention on the office of the grand exalted ruler now held by J. Finley Wilson of Washington for the fifth term. This is contained the development which brought a proclamation from Mr. Wilson Kingang from New York Cleveland, which step left opponents declared was because he feared defeat-at the hands of the New York element.
Then came a legal, fight on part of the New York lodges, to prevent moving the grand lodge to some other city, which was met a demand by Wilson that a legal infunction in New York State against Negro Elks be dissolved; claiming that as long as the injunction was in force every officer and member of the order was in danger of being subjected to arrest and punishment. The courts supported the New York Elks, and as a final graceful set decision the injunction was dissolved. Riggs Wilson, claim that it was his statement and shredness that was sought, about the removal of the New York Man, and makes him entitled, ages than ever to the qualified support of the Order. But J. Dahmus Steele of New York City, George Wibecan of Brooklyn, and some possible dark horses, are not acceding to that claim, and assert that Wilson is trying to credit that Wilson has Hawkins assisted by Judge E. M. Heirhoff, of Philadelphia, who had the earliest and capable support of a group of laymen by Casper Holstein and Dr. Hudson J. Oliver.
The Opening-Outlook
And so there is an attempt in prospect to unseat Wilson from his stone, and neither of those mentioned, with others, in the offing, will be entirely willing to take his place. BUT—and because it is a big "but" it is put in capitals—of the 1,200 delegates here for the grand lodge, it is given out from informed sources that at Monday night's caucus it was shown that 950 were inevitably defeated. 50 votes for the grand lodge of Wilson.
This includes 57 votes from New York City—30 from Mitee Monarch and 27 from Imperial.
And while the parade was meandering through Harlem on Tuesday, it was circulating through the air that this 950 would be considerably augmented ere time came for the final balloting, which is apt to happen at any time after the Thursday morning session open. I felt that all of the candidates are predicting a unanimous ballot, but the more conservative halt b and are not willing to go quite so far. But all agree that Wilson will win.
Other Changes Pending
As a result of the various contentions arising during the past year, it is predicted that there will be some important changes in the official personnel, including the grand secretary and the grand treasurer. This designation is given to George E. Bates of Newark has been grand secretary for many years, and James T. Carter, the grand treasurer, has also enjoyed a long tenure.

HARLEM'S GORGEOUS DECORATIONS AND BRILLIANT INCANDESCENCE MAKES IT RIVAL BROADWAY'S GREAT WHITE WAY
HOMICIDE CHARGES AGAINST MAN AND WOMAN FAIL WHEN EVIDENCE REVEALS DEATH BULLET CAME FROM COP'S GUN
New York City's welcome, to the grand lodge, I F B. P., O. of E. of W., is shown in the gorgeous and colorful decorations that swathe Harlem's streets, and avenues, the private residences, apartment houses and business structures vying in the elaborateness, with which they display the Elks' colors and insignias, surrounded and encompassed with the American flag and the national colors.
Both Lenox and Seventh avenue are turned into carnival passageways by the large, brightly colored lights, brilliant banners and colored festons and stringers of every description. "Hello Bill," in all sorts of designs and scripts, seemed to be the most general slogan, but expansive banners, bearing stately and dignified Elk heads with spreading antlers, some of paper or card, many more of cloth bunting, but others still of what appeared to be genuine tanned-Elk skins, were pendant over fronts of the buildings, as a capperette to the flags, banners, scrolls and shields which surrounded them, and over and above all, in the windows of houses, offices and stores, on pennants fastened to pleasure automobiles, and to heavy auto trucks, on buttons worn in the coat lapels, on hands on hats and caps, wherever it was possible to space for
Homicide charges against James Morozz, 248 West 41st street, and Thelnd Batts, 2560 Eighth avenue, in connection with the shooting to death of Samuel Golden, a truckman of South River, N. J., were dismissed Thursday in Homicide Court by Magistrate Mcery. "Tellmilton indicated that Golden has been killed by a deflected billboard of Patrolman Michael Ladden who fired from the running board of Golden's car to halt the automobile in which the defendants were fleeing." Morton was detained on a charge of grand larceny. "Officer Ladden testified that he fired five shots at the fleeing car from the right running board of Golden's machine. Golden swung the car, off Columbus avenue at 67th street as he fired once, he said, and immediately afterwards slumped over the steering wheel.

*Welcome* To *The Elks*!
Every countenance sychronized with the written or printed welcome,
and for once, at least, *base* New Yorkers (many of them fresh from the cotton field or the small town sidewalk) lost their synicism, and allowed themselves to be swept into the vortex of enth�l£sia and unbridled vocal ouburst of applause which greeted the searching continent. The swept through Harlem streets in indiscriminately smartly aligned ranks, 70,000 through the day; the avenues are a glorious sight, the masses of banners and colored pennants strung across at frequent intervals filling the eye with color and glamor; but is as is the shades of, night, fall that there are added the million scintillations of myriads of multicolored incandescent bulbs, also, *strung* crosswise the avenues, alternating with the banners and pennants, illuminating the thoroughfares to a degree that makes the brilliant Broadway White Water street jersey evident.

He fired three times in the air, he said, but Morton failed to stop. It was then that Patrolman Ledden commandered Golden's automobile and "gave chase" to the car and fire. On motion of Charles White; assistant district attorney, the charges of homicide against the defendants were dismissed. However, Magistrate Jesse Silbermann, in Jefferson, Market Court, held for the defense that he had no charge of grand lance. He is alleged to have stolen the automobile owned by Gladys Isacsson of 169 Clinton avenue, Newark, N. J., on August 9. from its parking place on 41st street between Seventh and Eighth avenues. The commissioner Joseph W. Warren has been asked by Acting Mayor Joseph McKeen to investigate and, the Commission has promised "immediate action" and discipline "if the investigation is true that the death of Golden" is the result of
Judith cheering through the 25th annual parade of the Daughters of the American Revolution, a town called Fifth, near West 14th street, Harlem. Though at one time during the march the rain poured in torrents, their enthusiasm was not dampened in the least. The women greeted to be real soldiers, and only two or three of them dropped
one of the time of march.
The garment of the Daughters' was led by the Manhattan Temple of New York City, and its female band. The members of the band were nearly attired in grey uniforms, as the Bella Phillips as a drum major, and the Inviolante Temple No. 77 of New York City. This Temple is one of the largest, in the ranks of the order, that uniforms are in keeping with this color scheme of the Elks. They were white satin dresses and cardigan shirts. At the top, of which was ribbon bow of gold and purple.
**Women's Prize Band**
The *Ereka* Temple. Matching Club, led by its female band, was the third in the line of march. This band was one of the prize winners in the band contest held at Richmond last year. A large American flag was carried by four of the four touring club holding in front of the four touring forms of purple satin cakes with white satin skirts. They were followed by a corps of Red Grass Workers.

Prevents Segregation At Manhattan Beach Los Angeles, Calif
Los Angeles; Cal—Just forty-five days after the Manhattan Beach officials attempted to enforce segregation, at its pier and bathing beach through an alleged lease of the property to a private owner of Dr. H. C. Hudson, president of the Los Angeles branch of the N. A. A. G. P, and three companions when they attempted to bathe at the beach, the Court decision nullified the alleged lease and Manhattan Beach accepted judgment. Manhattan Beach tried to exclude colored the pier and beach to an individual for the nominal sum of $1, but Dr. Hudson and his companions, backed by the local N. A. A. G. P, submitted to arrest and fine in order to make a test case under the Civil Rights Law. Attorney Hugh E. McBeth of the legal team conducted the trial with vigor. Los Angeles is to be the site of the 19th annual spring conference of the N. A. A. C. P. in June, 1928.

NEW YORK GIVES ROUSING WELCOME TO 28th GRAND LODGE CONVENTION OF ELKS-MILLION SEE BIG PARADE
Reelection of J. Finley Wilson Seems Assured; Chicago, Detroit and Indianapolis In Race For Choice As Site Of Next Session
---
Among the distinguished men of New York for 'the' the Klotson Convention, none is 'perhaps' more 'conspicuous than John L. Webb of Hot Springs, Ark, supreme custodian of, the Woodmen of Union, an organization which owes its present splendid development to Mr. Webb's business, sagacity and solid executive, ability. He is one of the strongest men in the B. P. O. E., and for several years has been regarded by the grand-established rule as one of his most trusted advisers. Mr Webb is first vice-president of the National Negro Business League, and holds a close intimate relation in every way with Dr. Robert R. Moton, the president. Efforts to certain elements, that wanted to supplant Dr. Moton as head of the business men's organization, to disturb that relationship were absolutely futile.
During the recent world tour conducted by Dr. Williams of Chicago, in which Mr. Webb was a member of the party, Dr. D. M. Miller of Kansas City, Mo., was the official chronider, recording the daily experiences of the travellers, and reciting characteristics of the various incidents of the Chronicles written while the party was in Rome, Dr. Miller wrote of Mr. Webb as follows:
"The writer, who has, known Mr. Webb for quite awhile, and who had been misinformed relative to Dr. Moton-principal of Tuskegee Institute, when the matter of locating and manning the Veterans' Hospital a few years ago was hot in the air about Tuskegee; and knowing that

Trinidad Minister, Unable To Give Bond, Is To Be Deported
The detention at Ellis Island, of the Rev. J. N. Sanders of Trinidad, British West Indies, president of the Independent Baptist Union of Trinidad and Tobago, and president of churches at Princeton, Leiden, and week's issue of The Age, stirred considerable interest among former residents of Trinidad now in New York, and others, and a number of them have visited him, at Ellis Island. From the Immigration Officers are to the effect, however, that these interested persons were unable to help the minister. He has no personal acquaintance, it seems, but hoped to get in touch with leading Baptist ministers who would be able to secure his residence. He advised he would be admitted, if able to furnish a 3-month bond, Failure to furnish this bond means his deportation to Trinidad on a vessel that calls Saturday, 11 January New York on July 11.
With delegates present from all sections of the country and several foreign countries, the 28th Grand Lodge Convention of the Independent Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World and the 25th session of the Grand Temple opened Sunday August 21, with religious exercises at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, the Rev. Dr. J. W. Brown, pastor. The exercises were under direction of the Rev. Mr. W. George Avant, grand chaplain. More people were turned away from this service than were able to get inside and at all the public meetings and programs of the grand lodge session the crowds have

HOTEL GRAMPION OPENS SEPT. 1ST TO RACE GUESTS Select Apartment Hotel Offers 1 to 3 Rooms To 60 Families
On September 1, the Hotel Grampion on St. Nicholas avenue, near 119th street, will be turned over for the exclusive use of Negroes after more than twenty-seven years as the most select apartment hotel for whites in Harlem. The changing complexion of the neighborhood, which has become completely colored in the past three years, is given as the reason for the change. The Grampion is a five story limestone and brick building, containing sixty apartments of from 1 to 3 rooms each, with private baths. All guests are supplied with complete hotel service.

Big Public Reception
On Monday, at 11:39 St. Mark's
M. E. Church, the Rev. Dr. J. W.
Robinson, pastor, the delegates
were officially welcomed to New
York by Acting Mayor Joseph
Mckee, and other city officials.
Dr. Hudson W. Oliver, chairman
of the local general convention
committee presided at this vow-
ure. He was introduced by
Marshall Hampton, the same committee. The invitation was by the Rev. W. George Avant
grand-chapain, and vocal-selections were rendered by Miss
Olive Hopkins and Mme. Lula
Robinson Jones.
"There are no doors to our city," said Acting Mayor McKee in his address of welcome. He told the delegates and visitors to have a good time and enjoy themselves. His address was responded to by Grand Exalted Ruler, J. Finley Wilson.
Welcome addresses on behalf, of the citizens of New York, were made by Fred R. Moote, editor of The New York. Age, Alderman Henri W. Shields and D. Dalman Steele. Responses to these addresses were made by Commissioner of Health and Infant Mortality, Dr. William J. Thompson, of Kansas City, Mo., and Commissioner of Education Judge William Hueston of Indianapolis, Ind.
Women Are Welcomed.
The address of welcome to the Grand Temple was delivered by Mrs. Elizabeth Fravier, head of the women's general convention committee and responses were by, Mrs. Elizabeth Ruiter Elia Berry and Grand Legal Adjuvant Perry W. Howard. Governor Alfred E. Smith, who was programmed to make a 'welcome address, failed to appear or to send a message to the convention. On Monday, night the Grand Lodge offices, a group of 200 members were hosts in City of New York at a banquet in the Hotel Commodore.
Rain Didn't Stop Parade.
Although there was drizzling rain all day Tuesday and the humidity made the day uncomfortable, the enthythmus and general interest of the members was not dampened for the parade. Long before no special trains of paraders from the various lodges in New Jersey and from Philadelphia bound for the marching clubs and their bands began forming in the side-streets just off Fifth avenue, and the parade began promptly at 1.
From the starting point at 61th street and Fifth avenue to the end of the line at 145th street and Seventh avenue, it was estimated that more than a million spectators cheered as the Ells and rooks marched by. Harlan the uncle of the apartment, roofs and every other available space, as well as the sidewaks, were filled.
Of course the New, York and Brooklyn lodges had the most members in the line of march, but outside of New York, the Philadelphia lodges—the Cattie Lodge, the Upper City Lodge, the Boston and Cambridge Mass lodges, the Baltimore and Washington and the Richmond Va lodges made the best showing in numbers. The Jersey City and Newark Lodges were also well represented. (Cheryl Diffora, manuscript.)
some were several from California,
Ten hands were in the line of march.
Election Pending.
The principal business remaining before the grand lodge as The Age goes to press, is the selection of a city for the next convention and the election of officers, Chicago, Indianapolis and Detroit are the leading cities contending for the convention, with the likelihood of the honor going to Chicago.
The reelection of J. Finley Wilson as grand exalted ruler for the aftrh, year seems assured. According to Frank H. Hunter of St. Louis, honorary past grand exalted ruler and known as the "grand old man" of the odge, Mr. Wilson will be reelected by acclamation on Thursday. The reelection of the other grand lodge officers is not assured, as it is known that Mr. Wilson is desirous of making several changes in his cabinet. Should he be reelected without a fight, it is probable that he will replace the grand secretary and grand treasurer with men whom he regards as more friendly.
Many Social Events
The social features of the convention surpass any ever afforded this organization on a similar occasion. In addition to the many diversified forms of entertainment offered visitors coming to New York, there were a number of special affairs arranged for the convention. These included the annual hand concert on Tuesday night, the grand ball Wednesday night, a call my the Hudson on Thursday, and busrides to Coney Island and points of interest about the city.
Cooperation of city officials was splendid. The police department furnished a special detachment of police for the parade and had an extra number assigned to Harlem throughout the week. However, up to Wednesday, the behaviour of the delegates had been excellent no one had caused any trouble.
The Post Office Department, through Postmaster John J. Kieley established a special branch post office at the convention headquarters for the convenience of the delegates. Jerry Dinn, foreman at the Times Square station, was in charge of the Elks post office. There was also a special Western Union station and Associated Press. office at the convention headquarters.

Record Enrollment At W.Va. Collegiate Inst.
Institute. W.Va.—Information from the West Virginia Collegiate Institute indicates that an unusually large enrollment is expected for the coming school term. Already more than 225 new students have been accepted for admission on September 21. Although students are still being accepted, the authorities at Institute believe that necessary limitations must be exercised to avoid an acute housing situation.
Plans are being formulated concerning the "orientation" of freshmen. The first few days of school will be devoted primarily to the adjustment, of new students to the change of situation—the transition from secondary to college life. During this period lectures will be given, counsellors will be consulted and demonstrations will be held in an effort t oassist students to "find themselves. All student organizations have been asked to participate in this program. Necessary repairs in dormitories and offices have already been made. Atkinson Hall, one of the boy's dormitories has been entirely renovated.
The football schedule for the 1927 season includes eight games, four to be played at home and four railroad. Coaches Hambin and Goode have chosen a number of men for early practice.

Mme. Evanti (Lillian Evans Tibbs) Charges Her Husband, Roy Tibbs, With Failing To Support Her and Child or Furnish Home
Musicians and their personal friends in all sections of the country will regret to learn of the serious domestic dissension that has arisen in the household of Mme. Lillian Evanti (Lillian Evans Tibbs), operatic soprano, recently returned from a third successful season in opera in Italy and France, and her husband, Roy Wilfred Tibbs, director of music at Howard University, Washington.
OWN YOUR OWN HOME
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 ups, are property owners.
The same can be done right here in New York City. It may take a little more cash—not very much more—but at any rate look at property No. 247 West 128th street, then come in and see us... You will be surprised how easily you can own your Own Home.
Mrs. Tibs has filed suit for separate maintenance, declaring, that from 1924 to 1927 she had received not more than $225 from her husband; that she had contributed, during this period, all the money she earned for the benefit of her husband and herself.
The couple were-married-in 1988 at Gary, Ind. the then Miss Ewenas being a teacher in the District of Columbia public schools; Mr. Tibbs had been instructor on the Howard University faculty, but took his hachelor of arts degree at Oberlin. He continued studying until 1919, to win his master's de-
Richmond, Va.—The stage, is all set for the meeting here of the great Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention, August 30th to September 2. The Lott Carey Convention is the only organization among Negroes of any denomination devoted exclusively to Christian work, in foreign lands and the only organization among Negroes promoting missions among people not belonging to the Negro race. The Lott Carey Convention operates missions in Liberia, West Coast Africa, in Haiti, in South Africa, Russia and India. The convention is thirty years old. It has more than fifty missionaries in all lands, and has raised among Negro Baptists of America almost a million dollars.
The sessions' of the Convention will be held with the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church, founded and formerly pastored by the widely known John Taiper. Its present pastor is Dr. A. W. Brown! The sessions of the Woman's Auxiliary and the Junior Auxiliary will be held at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Dr. Wm. H. Stokes, pastor. The mass meeting for Friday night, September 2, will be held at the City Auditorium.
Dr. C. S. Brown of Winton, N. C., is president; Dr. A. A. Graham of Phoebus, Va., corresponding secretary, Miss Elizabeth Bullock of Raleigh, N. C., is president of the Junior Auxiliary, and Mrs. J. H. Randolph of Washington, D. C., is president of the Women's Auxiliary.
gree, and his wife continued teaching in Washington and supporting herself, living in the meantime with her mother, Mrs. Annie D. Evans, at 1910 Vermont avenue, northwest.
Lived With Wife's Mother.
After Tibbs returned to Washington in 1919, the couple continued to live with Mrs. Evans, and their only son, Thurlow Evans Tibbs, was born there on May 31, 1921. In 1924, with the coddled consent of her husband, Mrs. Tibbs went abroad to further develop her voice. Returning to America on August 31, 1925, she found her husband ill, living in private quarters. She nursed and cared for him during his illness.
Her second trip to France was in November, 1925, and lasted until June, 1926; when she found her husband living in a furnished room with no home for her. In December, 1926, she returned to fulfill operatic contracts in France and remained until July, just past when she found her husband living at 401. T. street, northwest. But when she saxed to join him there, he requested her to stay away. And when on August 1, she took her son and went to her husband's home, he left. On August 9, while she was at the dentist, her husband returned, and locked her out.
Is Without A Home.
In her petition she recites that she is without means and would be without a home were it not for her mother's charity, while her husband has a salary of $2,500 from Howard, and $1,000 from other musical activities. She assays that his unqualified - acquiescent in the foreign study plan, and his personal attitude in the meantime, kept her from knowing that he did not intend to receive her, and would make it appear that her ambition for a career has disrupted their home. She denies absolutely this latter assertion.

quarters at 112 West 120th street writes as follows, "I want to congratulate you for being named as the standard bearer of the Republicans, of this District for the position of Alderman. You have the privilege of using me only on the comittee, but in any other way or capacity that you believe I am able to serve. I shall urge the full registration of our people so that they may be able to vote in the November election."
Seea Opportunity Knocking.
A strong letter from S. M. Marcus of 2 Rector and 3 West 122nd streets, commends Mr. Moore's candidacy and pledged unfaltering support. In a previous letter, Mr. Marcus had written: "I feel that there is a great opportunity knighting at the door of the 19th District and the time to grasp that opportunity is now."
Ernest E. Williams of 174 West 141st street, writes: "I am glad to see that you are a candidate for Alferman. The County Committee did well in naming, yon, and your election in forecast. We all remember your fight, on the dives and speak-easies of Harlem, and we are anxious to show our appreciation for your great efforts. If we had more men of your type, who were not afraid to speak the truth, the race would not be subject to such gross injustices. I shall be glad to do anything in my power to further your candidacy.
Compared To Luther.
Helen Jacobs writes: "I wish to congratulate you on your designation for Alderman for you have the courage to battle alone. Would to God there were more Moores and fewer Yellow Streaks as our representatives of journalism who carry on their shoulders the destiny of a race. Brother, it may be God's will to make of you a martyr for your spoken truths, but like Luther, your name will be in marble on the pages of history and thousands will never forget the faithful editor of The New York Age. My earnest hope and prayer for you is that you will be elected this November 8, and may you continue many years in the service of your community and in the propagation of truth."
Remembers Fight on Dives.
Herbert A. Allen of 138 West 117th street, director of the choir of Emanuel A. M E. Church, West 119th street, writes, "I saw in one of the weekly papers that you had been named at a recent meeting of the Republican County Committee as a rominee for Alderman. Kindly accept my deep and sincere congratulations upon the high esteem in which your fellow citizens hold you. I am sure their choice could not have been better, and in few cases could it have been equalled. Best wishes to you. In case I can be of my service to you, don't fail to thank me in service."
The Rev Robert W. Bagnall, director of branches of the N. A. A. C. P. 69 Fifth avenue and 746 St. Nicholas avenue, adds his congratulations and offers his services in the campaign.

been together on this trip. He closed me up as tightly as a clam and made me a friend of Dr. Moton the balance of my natural life,' when 'he said: 'If you know Dr. Moton you would never have given voice to that expression. In many places in America people were saying and thinking just as you are. I have known Dr. Moton for a number of years, and I can truthfully tell you, as I have told thousands of others, that he is without doubt the finest specimen of humanity ever wrapped up in that much skin.
"Continuing, he said: 'I visted him and conselled with him during the time you speak of; I knew what he was contending with, and what he was contending for. I know of the flattering offers made him and the dreadful and direful threats made on his life. I looked in his mouth, heard him say, and then saw him stand and stake all to defend his position for right and fair play for his people, stating that money would rot his soul, but that the manhood ambition of men and women yet unborn would live to carry out his manly position when he was sleeping in the clay; that his soul would be happy in the knowledge of the fact that the cause of right and righteousness were still marching on.'
A Striking Tributo
"Mr. Webb declared that the physical frame of Major Moton may be tottering but his eyes are still keen, looking ahead for the race. The strain, physical and mental, are making inroads upon him, but there is no man living today who more rightfully merits, and deserves all honor and credit for battles fought and victories won for the race than does Major Moton. 'As long as I have a voice,' said Mr. Webb, 'it shall be heard in his honor and defense; as long as I have my right mind I shall live to honor him; as long as I have a dollar I will spend it, if necessary, in his defense; as long as I give I shall count it an honor to be numbered among his friends.'
"There is one thing peculiar in Mr. Webb which is strikingly different to what one finds in the majority of other men, and that is this: Usually when you find a man holding the next seat of honor to the head he is filled with ambition to reach the head, supplant his superior officer regardless of cost, caring not who is helped or hurt, but with Mr. Webb the idea is furthest from his mind to uproot any plan, purpose or idea of Dr. Moton, that he might further his own aims of ambition to succeed or supplant him, but to give unstinted support to all his policies."
Roxbury, N. Y.—The past week at John Royall's Stone House at Roxbury in the Catekills found things going in full blast. Guests have filled both houses, and with an average temperature of about 69, and with nothing but blue skies overhead, a memorable week was spent.
Last Tuesday, Dr. and Mrs. George Bynoe of Brooklyn and their niece, Miss Lucille Wills, with Dr. Eugene C. Williams of Jamaica, L. I., "Hupped" to the Stone House with Mrs. Lavinna Johnson-Bunts, Mrs. Alice Holmes-Harsis of Richmond, Va., Mr. and Mrs. Howard Jones of New York and Attorney J. Gordon Dingle. Saturday, this happy group was augmented by the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Peyton and their daughter, Miss Mildred, of Jamaica, N. Y.; Fredrick Howard and his sister, Mrs. Irene Nicholson of Brooklyn, and Mrs. L. Hazel of New York.
The activities have been fast and various. John Royall, like President Coolidge, believes that "Bout can be caught with worms and has dug up half of the farm for worms and every lake in the Catskill Mountains has been visited." The ladies are about as good fishermen as the men. Last Friday, all of the guests motored dow to Stamford, New York, and saw Buck Ewing's Colored Stars lose a loosely played baseball game to the Stamford team. That night a lantern party at the "House on the Hill" in honor of the birthday of Earle Greene of Boston provided plenty of dancing.
Mr Royall is still the champion marksmans of the group. He mises more woodchucks than Mr. Dingle does cranes. Cards—bridge, 500, whist and the national game of penny ante poker—find themselves the evening entertainment. Hiking is still popular. Groups of two or more can be seen pulling over the mountains. During the week, Dr. William Carter and Dr. Lyle Carter of New York, vacationing about five miles from here, spent a jolly evening with the bunch. Monday, Mortimer P. Smith of Washington, D. C., and Harold E. Waddell, deputy internal revenue collector of Brooklyn, stopped over for a day on their trip to Rochester and Canada.
Mrs. Fred Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Bouchet Day, Mrs. Gladys Walton and her children, and Miss Edith McAllister of New York, Joined the happy party and will be here until after Labor Day. The hosts are ideal, the eats wonderful, the quietude and rest alluring, and everything is conducive to health and happiness.
War Veteran Weds
James T. Williams, famous World War veteran, was married to Miss Dorothy Brown of Virginia, Saturday, August 18, 1927. Mr. Williams was born in Barnwell, S. C., and was in the employ of William G. MeAdon, ex-Secretary of the U. S. Treasury, for a number of years, after which he entered the service of the Internal Revenue. Mr. Williams was wounded in the World War and was decorated by the French Government for his gallant services. The couple now reside at 20 West 120th Street, New York City.

Although there are not as many delegates in attendance, they have come from almost as many sections of the country as the Elks came from, some coming from as far South as Florida and as far West Missouri.
Most of the public meetings of the convention are being given over to an old time revel, "as was in the days of the Apostles when the Gospel was preached in its simplicity and the mere laying of hands" prior to the laying of hands." This evangelistic work is in line with the work Elder Lawson has been doing since he established his church less than ten years ago in what was then the worst block in Harlem. Although West 133rd street is not yet a model neighborhood, the vicinity of the church has improved wonderfully in the past few years and Elder Lawson is beloved by all who know him. These sessions of the convention are presided over by Elder Lawson, who is the general Elder of the church and the other officers are: L. A. Bell of St. Louis, M. o. assistant elder; Gasson Michael o. Trenton, N. J. secretary; and Mrs. Carrie Campbell, president of the Women's Missionary Bands.
The convention will continue until September 6 and the general public is cordially invited to attend the public sessions each evening.
St. Paul Baptist Church
Official business of the trustees kept the pastor away from the B. Y. P. U. but we are told that they had a good meeting. Miss Marion Johnson will see that things go well. Events take place with such rapidity that one hardly knows what in expect next. The trustees board has entirely reorganized. T. R. Harris is now president in the place of Rev. H Arthur Booker as result of his resignation to make room for a new member. The pastor still acts as a minister to the pastor. The pastor preached Sunday night Dearson W. H. Turner and Mrs. J T Edwards, both of whom have been in Virginia at different points recurred, and were out to service Sunday. Last week's notes seemed to make us believe we did not say in the first part of the article, but we change this error in setting of the type Send the paper along, our people are reading it each week.

Sunday, August 21, the pastor addressed the delegates of the Pan-African Congress together with his congregation. His address pointed on the value of hospitality to strangling animals in every one a kind and friendly spirit towards the multitude of strangers in our city this week. The audience was large and attune. The pastor made several announcements of interest to the membership. W.G. Gergery of Talladge will deliver the seminar August 28. The organization of Elks is currently invited to meet at 11 a.m.
First Emmanuel Church
At the 11 o'clock service Sunday, Pastor Bolden preached from the text: "For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead. And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto him; which died, for them are rose against ornithians 5:14, 15. Theme: "The vicious element in conscious unfoldment."
Our Lord, Jesus, the Emmanuel fulfilled every Messianic prophecy concerning His conscious, vicarious suffering. He fitted uniquely in every sign and symbol that heralded His coming in human experience, which was written many centuries before, the days of His Flesh, showing His vicarious suffering, is borne out by the facts of His trial, Crucifixion and Death. And regardless to what the enemies who deny His Lordship and Deity may say, the things and the power of Jesus Christ teach and presence of the Holy Spirit shows clearly the truth of the text: "For the love of Christ constrain us; because we thus judge that if one died for all, then were all dead; And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto them, but to them which died for them and rose again." May one Lord Jesus Christ the Emmanuel help us to realize in our experience His Spirit and turn from worldly ambition and self-interest, desiring gain, human applause and intimacy, to the divine thought that will make us conscious that to be of worthy service, we must have to have eternal life; we are to become conscious vicarious persons giving ourselves and dying that generations following may live to the glory of Him who is God." 2 p. m. the Sunday school was opened by the assistant superintendent, Miss Maggie Johnson. A review of the lesson was given by Dr. 4 p. m. Literary Society convened.
In the evening Pastor Bolden continued his discourse of the morning service, which was insuring to the many assembled.

Luke:22; 31:32. Lentize McDowell spoke from this interesting subject, and made some timely remarks. Bro. McDowell was followed by the pastor, Eld. R. C. Lawson, who emphasized the different points of sifting or tests in the lives of Christians, as correction from the Lord; that he may be trailing the bad be cleansed or the bad brought out, as it was with Peter. The morning service was well attended Eld Lawson preached from Acts 15:14. "Simeon hath declared how God at first did visit geth him, out of them a priest, or His nain."

the differences. There had been some of us gone out from the church teaching the circumcision of the flesh, and the law or tradition of, the Jew's religion.
Therefore it was necessary for them to call this convention to set the question and free the minds of the people, to open for the good things from the Lord. Pastor Lawson emphasized that the only righteousness that is worthwhile is that of God through His Spirit unto salvation, which was hid from the foundation of the earth, but has been revealed through the preaching of the gospel.

City. In 1901 the building at 202 West Third street was erected. In 1904 the cornerstone was laid for the building in which the congregation now worships.
Last year, this church purchased property at 240-352 West 1451 street. This property is now being remodeled at a cost of about $28,500. The enclosure will be completed by November first. Under the capable leadership of the Rev. George H. Sims, who has pastured this congregation for twenty-seven years, the church has shown great advancement. Rev. Sims will open a cornerstone in 1901. Since then, the church has made rapid progress. The officers and members of the Union Baptist Church ask all friends to march with them Sunday, September 16th, to the politanian Baptist Church along Seventh avenue to 145th street, where they will lay their cornerstone.

MEMBER DENIES
TRUTH OF STORY
Defends Pastor Byrd of
Lafayette Presbyterian Church
Jersey City, N. J.—Members of Lafayette Presbyterian Church, Summitt avenue and Ivy place, the Rev. Dr. Wm. A. Byrd, pastor, are considerably exercised concerning the story published in The Rev. Dr. Wm. A. Byrd, pastor, that the old board of trustees had been removed by the Presbytery following a reincorporation of the church, and that, in consequence, members of the old board, led by Roland R. Abrains and W. L. Edwards, enacted a new investment seeking the deposal of Pastor Byrd for the alleged reason that "he has outlived his usefulness to the congregation."
A member of Lafayette Church, Charles E. Jones, of Grand street, states to The Age that the story, as published is "misleading the following particulars to back up his assertion.
I. "The Presbytery did not remove any of the trustees of the church." At a congregational meeting for the purpose of incorporating the church under the Reformation, he was chosen by the congregation. The vote was unanimous in the election of trustees.
Z. "It is news to the membership of Lafayette Church that its membership was reduced to one hundred. Certainly, the church attendance and monies collected the church in a prospered condition.
Says Charge Is "Huge Joke"
3. "As to Dr. Byrd's usefulness in Jersey City and Lafayette Church being at an end, it is a huge joke. Certainly, all of the congregation may not love him, if he no clergyman in Jersey City, white or black, is loved more than he.
4. "The circulation of a petition by Musser, Abrams and Hodge may be due to the fact that the congregation gave the pastor a business will appreciate with him. In doing so, Mr. Abrams was refused reelection. The people of the church, and not the pastor, put, Mr. Abrams off. It had been rumored in the church for sometime that Mr. Roland Abrams was a business will railroad station. The last time he ran, a year ago, a man, almost a stranger, came within three votes of running over him.
"It is common knowledge that Mr. Walter Hodge was brought to face certain allegations by the Railroad station which resulted in his change from running as a Pullman porter into Canada where booze abounds. Dr. Byrd is an enemy to bootlegging and "numbers" playing, and that may have something to do with him. The freshness will not be influenced by men of this type.
We know in Lafayette Church right-thinking people will not heed them. It is barely possible they may find themselves outside of the church. The new board of trustees will be a great benefactor.
"It was stated today that there is a possibility that Mr. Abrams, who was formerly the church treasurer, will be called into an accounting, it being alleged that he kept neither books nor records."
Dr. Byrd To Be Sued
According to information received, "Roard B. Abrams has requested his lawyer, Attorney Walter J. Freund of 15 Exchange place, to enter suit against the Rev. Dr. Byrd for the recovery of $25 which Mr. Abrams says has secured him by the minister in all alleged to have been signed by one "Win 1 Mortrison," and endorsed by Dr. Byrd. Mr. Abrams states that Dr. Byrd came to him with the note saying that "Mortrison," a friend, was in need of $20; Abrams said he had funds belonging to his sister at the time, and from this money at Dr. Byrd have the asked for, after the pastor had endorsed the note. When it be- tween who participated in the community summer vesper service were the Misses Blanche Clark, Georganna Ladson, Dorothy Caraway and Co. Chraneh. Among the visitors to the church were the Misses New Haven, Conn. and the Misses Georgiana Ladson, Blanche Clark, and Dorothy Caraway of Jamaica.
Concord Baptist Church
Within recent months many charges have been made in the services and organizations of Concord Church, which we hope will prove beneficial to the program and work during the fall and winter. It is the responsibility of the church administration to carry out the beginning made by the Daily Vacation Bible School, opening at nine-thirty and closing at eleven when morning church service will begin.

Five New Champions Crowned At National Tennis Tournament; Ted Thompson Defeats Saitch
By P. BERNARD YOUNG, Jr.
Hampton Institute, Va., August 20.—Some say champions do not comet back, but three came back with a vengeance today when Ted Thompson, king, of the courts in 1923, runner-up in 1926, and champion in 1927 by virtue of his brilliant five-set victory over Eyrie Saitch; Miss Lulu Ballard, 1925 queen of the courts and 1926 runner-up, by defeating Miss Isadora Channels, four time national champion, in straight sets; and Thompson, and Tally Holmes swept three to the heights they held in former years, winning in three sets from Allison Davis and Sterling Brown. These three comebacks, the victory of Douglass 'Turner over E.R. Ashe in junior singles and the triumph of Louis Jones and M. Blanche Winston over C. N. Downing and 'Mother' C. O. James (former national mixed doubles title holder) combined to establish new names in five of the six events' fought for in the eleventh national championship of the American Tennis Association, of which Dr. Harry S. McCard of Baltimore is president.
The only event in which the title did not change hands was in women's doubles, in which that splendid Pennsylvania team of Misses Luhu Ballard and Ora Washington turned back Miss Channels and Mrs. E. Hawkin Wilson.
Brilliance of weather matched the maleness of flashing racket until Thursday afternoon, when the courts were flooded in a downpour of rain, but hard work put five of the seven courts of the School by The Sea into playing shape, so that Friday and Saturday, through the good work of Dr. Ivison Hoage, New York, Dr. W. H. Wright, Baltimore, and Dr. W. A. Barrett, St. Louis, referees, chief of umpires, and alternate referees respectively, the last championship was decided just as dusk was settling over the beautiful seaside Mecca of Tennis. Between seventy and eighty matches were run off daily in the preliminary rounds, and on account of rain Thursday there remained 31 matches, including some quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals in all events. Into the rare beauty of Hampton Institutes famous campus, with every facility at the disposal of the ornament placed into their hands the caravan of tennis players and followers tricked as early as the middle of last wreck. Cars from New England to Alabama and as far west as Iowa, were seen perching along the winding roads of the world-famous institution.
Every player of note, with the exception of Edward Simmons, ranking player of Dayton, Edgar Brown of St. Louis, former champion, and Miss Lillian Hines, ranking scar of North Carolina, and a few others of lesser note, was here.
With a total entry breaking all previous records, and with 136 entries in mens singles, 64 in women singles, 21 in junior singles, and fifty-nine men's doubles teams establishing new marks in those four individual events, the eleventh annual championships were destined from the beginning to fulfill the prediction that the 1927 tennis extravaganza would excel any other ever held. The officers and officials of the American Tennis Association, of the Virginia Tennis Association, which in cooperation with Hampton staged the tournament and especially Charles H. Williams, physical director of the school where championships are a tradition, deserve worlds of credit. Thompson entered this tournament determined to regain the honor he won in 1925 at Borden-town. When he finished the match against Saitch he was in far better physical shape and almost immediately went into his doubles championship event, giving the veteran Tally the kind of support expected of a partner of a championship combination. Saitch had a terribly hard fight against Wilkerson in the semi-finals, the match going the limit. In this match he twisted his ankle but was able to continue play. In his finals against Ted, with the count one set all and half of the third set completed, Saitch fell and apparently was severely shaken tip. Except in flashies he was helpless against Tad, frequently being caught flatfooted against the bril-

liant shots of the new champion. Ted eased up in the fourth set, for although he and the star from New York are bitter rivals on the court, they are good friends. He lost that set, but the final set was only a matter of time. Ted played winning tennis today and before Saitch was hurt was playing shot for shot. His victory was hard won and deserved, for it was a fight all way. Comment heard in the stands indicated how strongly the opinion held that Ted today approached more nearly than any day since Bordentown in 1925, the tennis of which he is, capable. And when Ted is right, he is practically unbeatable.
Jack McVey In Line
For Welter Title Bout
Jack McVey, former welterweight champion of the New York National Guard and for a long time leading contender for the welterweight championship of the world, will be given his big chance next month when he meets Pete Latzo, former welterchamp, at Cleveland, Ohio. It is Latzo's first ring appearance since he lost the title to Joe Dundee of Baltimore this spring. If the colored welterweight can beat Latzo he will be substituted for the former champion in the next fight with Dundee for the title. McVey has been fighting for the past five years and has never been knocked out. He suffered only one real defeat, that at the hands of K. O. Phil Paplan, which he later avenged in a return bout. He is now at the peak of his form and should easily defeat the former champion.
Harrogate Nine To Play At Protectory Oval Sunday
Unsettled weather conditions kept the Lincoln Giants idle last Sunday, August 21, but an unusually good attraction has been booked for this Sunday. The Harrogate nine, the best semi-professional team in the vicinity of Philadelphia, will play the Giants a double header. Rector and Chambers will be the pitchers for the Lincoln.
Royal Giants Win Two Games From Hilldale
Hitting the ball hard and timely, the tail-end Brooklyn Royal Giants swatted out 28 hits for their Saturday afternoon's work and captured both ends of a double header from Hildale at the Daisies Park. The first contest went to the visitors 11 to 6 and they bagged the second encounter 7 to 2. Nip Winters, the elongated southpaw of the Hildale staff took a lacing in the first game when the Flatbush team combed his slants for 11 safe drives in five and two thirds innings, that netted 9 of the Brooklyn tallies, Script Lee finished the contest and was also nicked for three tallies.
Bill Holland served them up for the Royal Giants and after an unsteady first inning the visiting moundmen had easy setting behind a big lead. Sonny Arnold and Holland each collected three jumps and Ciarlan Smith put up a whale of a fielding game.
Otis Starks southpawed the Daisies into submission in the nightcap when the erstwilh, Hilldale flinger, let, the home team down with 7 widely scattered hits. Starks also asserted himself with the willow, driving Cleo Smith and Burnett over the pan with a double to center after two had been retired in the sixth inning. Campbell was the Hilldale choice for mound duty but was relieved in the seventh inning by Charlie Corbet. Highpockets Hudspep, the lengthy first staker of the visitors lived up to his reputation and gave a splendid exhibition of fielding around the initial hag.
What really started the day wrong for the locals, was a bit of strategy that went awry in the first game. The Daisies were holding a two to one advantage in the third inning and Winters had disposed of two men.
---
Arnold was on second, the result of his double to left. Winters elected to pass Brooks purposely and pitch to Hidspeth who is considered weak on southpaw curving. Hidspeth crossed up the dope by singling to right and before the smoke had cleared away four runs had crossed the pan. After this spurt the Royals were never headed and the second game was also stowed away in easy fashion.

And oh, how that woman does "vamp!" But the picture is clean and wholesome, and young folk and old will enjoy it.

SAVOY BALLROOM, IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS HAS BECOME MOST FAMOUS INSTITUTION IN HARLEM-A RENDEZVOUS FOR VISITORS
The value of advertising properly directed was never better shown than in the case of the Savoy Ballroom, located at 140th to 141st street on Lenox avenue. Most of the thousands of visitors in Harlem this week attending the Elks' Convention had heard of The Savoy and showed a desire to visit the town and occupy place while on the other hand toughest few seemed interested in the other institutions Negroes have in Harlem
With the exception of the churches where the sessions of the Grand Lodge and Grand Temple were being held, hardly any of the delegates visited the other churches of which this community is justly proud. A good many of the visitors called at the newspaper offices, but such other institutions as the Urban League, the Y. M. C. A. were almost wholly neglected. "The Savoy did a record business during the week, and this despite the fact that several "official" dances were being given in other places for the visitors.
A Liberal Management
Established less than two years ago, The Savoy, through a campaign of advertising in the newspapers, almost immediately became well known. The management was generous in supplying entertainment for the public. Where other dance promoters had been furnishing music by only one orchestra, The Savoy employed two, and went to considerable expense to put on revues and other features for those patrons that did not dance.
Along with the special features introduced by The Savoy, the ballroom is kept scrupulously clean and a carp of special police is kept on hand to prevent any of the rowdyism that prevailed at many of the other dances. At first the other amusement purveyors in Harlem shook their heads in doubt as to the success of this policy but within six months they were imitating The Savoy.
Believes In Advertising
So great has been the attendance at The Savoy, the management has been unable to close down for a few weeks to make necessary repairs and renovations. These repairs and renovations are now going on in the daytime, with the regular programs of dances and features in the evenings. The originator of the Savoy idea in ballrooms is I Jay Feggans, who, before coming to Harlem made notable successes in, establishing the Roseland and Arcadia Ballrooms on Broadway. Mr. Feggans is a firm believer in advertising, and although he uses all forms of advertising, he believes the best results are obtainable through using the newspapers. Those of the visitors in Harlem this week that have not already been to The Savoy, are likely to run into a large number of their friends from other sections of the country-by paying a visit to this popular center.
In the supporting cast of "Lonesome Ladies" there are four other noted feminine beauties, Fritzie Ridgeway, Dorts Lloyd, DeSacia Moores ad Grace Carlisle. Edward Martidel, Captain E. H, Calvert and Fred Warren also have interesting roles. Every character is humanly and humorously characterized.

"The Harlem Rounders"
At Alhambra Theatre
The music and comedy revue for the coming week at the new Alhambra Theatre is a merry affair called "The Harlem Rounders." As the title implies it abounds in local hits. Elk week brought to the Troubadours at The Alhambra much favorable comment. Tim Moore, recently of "Africana* is the chief funnaker. He is aided and abetted by the wellknown George Cooper, Troy Brown, Lollipop Jones and A. F. Watts. George Booker delighted with his tenor voice. Ida Brown, famous as "Baby Blues," has joined the company and the others in the cast include Clarice Mundgin, Rosa Henderson, Gertie Moore and Aiginele Mitchell. The twenty girl chorus called "Sunkist Dolls" are proving very popular as they prance down the illuminated runway.
"The Harlem Rounders" will be played all week. The photoplay attractions for the first three days are Sandow, the great police dog in $^{28}$Avenging Fangs" and Charlie Chaplin in his famous success, "A Dog's Life." For the last half of the week the pictures are Edith Thornton and Lou Tellegen in "Little Firebrand" and Harry Langdon in "Saturday Afternoon."
"The Tender Hour" at The Douglass Theatre
The tragedy hidden behind the many "business" marriages of the rich is dramatically depicted in "The Tender Hour," the George Fitzmource production which comes as the feature attraction at the Douglass Theatre Saturday, Sunday and Monday, August 27, 28 29
That the situation as it is shown in the plot of the picture is a real one, is proven by at least half a dozen such marriages which have ended disastrously and with much sensational publicity in the past year.
Particularly does this apply to the marriages of American girls to Europea titles. It is this particular phase of "bargain marriage of which the story of "The Tender Hour" is based. In the picture an American financier who regards his daughter merely as a possession to be sold to the highest bidder forces her into marriage with an expatriated nobleman in order to further business interests.
Billie Dove and Ben Lyon play feature roles in the picture, with Alec B. Francis, Montague Love and others in prominent parts. The picture is based on an origin-

Egbert Thompson Dead
By MINNIE BROWN
Two cablegrams came from Paris Monday, August 22, ohe from Mrs. Olivia. Shipp, and the other from the American Consul, saying that Egbert E. Thompson, bandmaster, had died there at the America Hospital of cancer.
This news is a great shock to musical New York, for Thompson was known as one of the finest. Negro musicians in this country; He had a, most remarkable career. Born in Sierra Leone, West Africa, the son of Adam and Eliza Thompson, he was early taken to Jamaica, B. W. I., for his father was a soldier. He entered the 1st British West India Regiment band at the age of "thirteen," and was sent at the age of sixteen as a prize pupil to the British Band School, Knellar Hall, Hounslow, England. Finished there with honors, qualifying him for the position of bandmaster, but it was against the British policy to have a black bandmaster over Negro bands and this fact caused quite a controversy between the faculty and British officers. Thompson was finally offered a band in some obscure spot in Africa, but refused, and began his plans to come to the United States as soon as his enlistment was over.
He landed in Boston—came to New York, and immediately applied for citizenship papers. He at once associated with the New Amsterdam Musical Association and became the leading spirit in its band activities. He demonstrated to the late James Reese Europe that brass instruments could be used in the parlor of the wealthy, so creating a new field for the Negro musician. Thompson was the first bandmaster of the Fifteenth Infantry, serving until he handed his resignation to Col. Hawward. At the outbreak of the World War he enlisted for a second time in the U.S. Army as bandmaster, was sent to Camp Upton, and became bandmaster of the famous "Buffaloes" Along with all bandmasters of the U.S. Army he was commaded to Paris for examination. The examination he passed, caused Walter Damrosch to stadm in amazement commission as lieutenant on November 5, 1918.
He returned to New York with his regiment after the Armistice,
but returned to Europe with the Souther Syncopators of which organization he later became director. When that organization was shipwrecked October 9, 1921, he became a hero worthy of a Carnegie Medal. With his own orchestra these

IN THE REALM OF MUSIC
By LUCIEN H. WHITE
Young Tenor In Italy
The Italian daily, Il Mezzo-giorno, published in Naples, Italy, in its issue of April 24-25, carried a photo of Chaucey Northern, the young tenor, who left New York some months ago to continue, his musical studies, and made flattering comment upon the young Negro singer's talent. Special comment is made of Mr. Northern's singing of the partitura of "Othello." Verdi's. great opera, declaring that as Tamaki Miura, the little Japanese prima donna, is preeminent in her interpretation of Pucinis Japanese opera, "Butterfly," so is Northern in the Negro character of "Othello."
Mr. Northern studied music at Hampton Institute, and after coming to New York entered the Darmosch Institute of Musical Art. Further training was under the direction of Mme. Gitterman, a New York teacher, and his work in Naples followed. He is a member of a musical family, and, with his brothers, has been heard in concert on a number of occasions in New York City. He plans to return to Ameriac in the early fall for a concert tour.
Touring To Canada
Mrs Gertrude·H. Martin of the Martin-Smith, Music School, 139 West 136th street, enjoyed a splendid vacation, motoring with Mrs Roach to Montreal, Canada, Saratoga Springs, Albany, and a number of other cities, en route.
; Quartet Returns South. .
The Livingstone College Quartet after a tour which covered four thousand miles during eight weeks, the first in forty years, passed through New York on Friday, August 19, enroute South. The tour was through northern and eastern states, and was most successful. The quartet was accompanied by Mrs. Clarice Jones Michaels, of Washington, musical director of the college, and Dr. James E. Mason, financial secretary.
Program of Negro Music.
A. Eugene Nixon, director of the Nixon Music School, West 136th street, presented a chorus of 75 voices at Grace Congregational Church, West 139th street, on Friday evening, August 19, in a program consisting entirely of Negro music and dramatic art. Guest artists were Miss Felice Sadgwair of Wilmington, N. C., pianist, and H. L. Galloway, violinist, director of Galloway Music Studio.
An appreciative audience heard choruses and solos by Rosamond Johnson, Harry Bureigh. Clarence Cameron White, Samuel Cooridge-Taylor, and Mr. Nixon himself, with a reading of Dumbar's "Ode to Ethiopia."
ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS
By PERCIVAL OUTRAM
By the decision of the Supreme Court of New York (the court of last appeal in the State of New York), just handed down unanimously by the attending Judges, closes, so far as court procedure is concerned, the long pending case of the M. M. P. U., formerly Local 310, vs... American Federation of Musicians. As may be recalled, the case has been fought bitterly in the Courts in several and distinct efforts by 310 to get an injunction, dissolve Local 802, and to get reinstature for 310 in the Federation. The then Local 310, now M. M. P. U., refused to honor transfer cards brought in the jurisdiction; in other words, Local 310 "refused to issue working cards to members of other locals who were, under the laws of the Federation, entitled to same, and did this in spite of the fact that hundreds of its own members enjoyed this privilege in the jurisdiction of other locals."
Because of this action, charges were preferred against the M.-M. P. U before the executive board of the Federation, before whom they failed to appear. The Federation found them guilty and revoked their charter, which precipitated the legal battle, now ended, which establish Local 802 as the only local in this jurisdiction affiliated with the American Federation of Musicians.
Consternation, anger, amazement, embarrassment, with a touch of comedy, were some of the emotions registered at the Roosevelt Theatre on Monday night, August 15. No, not on the screen, but in the orchestra pit, with Miss Horshey, the leader; two of her regular men, Kanailand, trumpeter, and

Lewis, drummer; Sergeant at Arms, Minton, and two new men on the job. Percy Routledge, drummer, and Gibson, clarinet-saxophone, as the principal characters.
On the occasion of previous trouble, some months ago, President Canavan of Local 802 had issued an edict that the Roosevelt Orchestra was to remain intact until Labor Day.
A few weeks ago, Miss Horshey gave Kaaland and Lewis the regular two weeks notice, stating that she was tired of the responsibility of leadership and intended to quit the job. During the final week of their stay, the leader was absent from the job, another player substituting for her.
In the meantime, Kaalund and Lewis got in, touch with Sergeant at Arms Minton, who took them to President Canavan, but that official stated that when the leader quits the orchestra is out, and so their two weeks' notice was legal. Some fairy-princess must have whispered to the two boys, for on Monday afternoon (their time had expired the day-before) they went to the theatre. Soon in came the new men, Robinson and Gibson, and into the pit they went, getting instruments ready to play. Finally, Miss Horshey, the leader, appeared on the scene, and took her place at the piano. But before any playing was done, up stalked Minton.
"Good afternoon, Miss Horshey. What is this? Back to question?" he asked.
"Yes, Mr. Minton," she replied. Then she was made to understand that if she worked herself, Kaalund and Lewis must also enjoy that privilege.
Miss Horshey is said to have become quite excited. She entered a complaint against the two men, saying they had been "laying down," "bad time," etc., but could not explain to Minton why she had not reported their slackness, or why she made the men believe she was quitting the job.
But the sergeat at arms explained to her that he was only carrying out instructions from President Canavan, that Kaaland and Lewis' would have to work, and that: Robinson and Gibson could not work.
So Kaaland and Lewis went into the pit and worked, and can stay until Labor Day, provided they make time and attend to business.
Gene Aiken, a well known cornetist, who has been ailing for sometime, and who was sent to Saranac Lake by the generosity of his fellow musicians; died there on Sunday, August 21. His remains, we understand will be sent to California.

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES
ONE OF THE PULLMAN SERVICE GATEWAYS
If any person believes that it is an easy matter these days to enter the Pullman service as porter or maid, or that there is a dearth of applicants for either of these jobs, just let that person visit the Pullman Employment Bureau, which may be termed one of the Pullman service gateways, at 856 Morris avenue, this city, and he will go away disabused of both beliefs. What the visitor will find is that the entrance requirement for Pullman porters and Maids are stringent. He will also find, that there is an over-surplus of applicants seeking these jobs.
It was during one of those rainy days several weeks ago that the writer, in seeking shelter from a heavy down pour, was able to observe a few-things about this department. Among the things noted were the physical features of the place.
Located on the ground floor of an apartment house building, which stands on the corner of Morris avenue and 161st street, this modern department of the Pullman service occupies a single room in the building. The unpretentiousness of the room strikes one as being somewhat contrary to the usual Pullman surroundings. A lone desk, several leather-bottom chairs, a stationary washstand in the corner, and a few "Safety First" signs, one of which reads, "Pullman Porter's Protective Passengers", are the sole furnishings of this department, in fact, its interior is a dimary employment agency. But those who came in, and they comprised a steady stream of work seekers, despite the down pour of rain, were not the sort of looking persons that one usually sees at an employment bureau.
The applicants were mostly neat and thrifty in appearance. They came in two and three, and to each inquiry the same answer was given. "We have all the porters we need at the present time." One young woman of extremely comely features entered and said she had been asked to describe the qualities of the quoa of maids was filled, she portrayed a picture of utter assistance. To the inquiry, as to whether the large number of applicants were because of the weather or if it was a general thing? brought the reply from W. C. Taylor, assistant agent of the bureau, that the rain had undoubtedly made the number somewhat less than usual. If the number of those seeking jobs as porters is any greater on a clear day, it is not surprising that the Pullman management smiles at certain assenting the company's ability to find suitable employees for its service. This modern department of the Pullman service has not only been able to get a more definite idea of the employment situation and what can be secured, but it has perfected an effective system by which no applicant can enter the Pullman employment in one district who has been rejected or discharged in another. "It likewise has a method of from methods that prevailed years ago." In years gone by, all the applicant had to, do to enter the service was to get some good friend to write him a reverence, stating that the applicant was sober, honest and industrious. If the recommendation was well written, the applicant would be more than apt to get the job sought. Today, honesty, sobriety and industry are still the requirements of theporter applicant, but the system of hiring is entirely different. Not only does the reference of applicants it is who says it, and how the recommendation stands up under investigation.
The references of an applicant must cover so many years of continuous service. If there is any break, in the continuity of this service, the applicant must form a continuous phase of employment, such as the intelligence field, health test and age, have made the Pullman service much more difficult to enter today than some persons seem to think or know. In every Pullman Zone, which means several Pullman districts, there is a Pullman Employment Bureau. The Bureau in the Bronx is in the P.M. P. Price and W. C. Taylor, the latter was formerly a poster-instruter.
THE TWO "DEANS"
This column has always referred as the "dean" of Pullman porters from Boston, by way of one of our porters Joseph B. Hughes of the porting district.

Another striking similarity is that the reasons that these porters are identical in their dispositions, characteristics and home environments. Another striking similarity is that the reasons that have actuated the column in referring to the New York man as the highest ranking porter in the Pullman service from the point, of course, of personal observation and knowledge, are the same reasons advanced by our Boston correspondent for referring to the Massachussetts.

The same descriptio might be given of Mr. Price's domestic life; the only difference is that the two children of the Price family are a daughter and a granddaughter, the latter being the child of Mrs. Sara Collie Patten, the efficient managers of the Madame Walker's Manufacturing. Establishment in West 180th Street, the "dean" of Pullman porters will have to be distinguished. Mr. Price will have to be referred to as the dean of New York porters, and Mr. Hughes will get the cognomen of dean of Massachusetts porters.

The annual field, day and picnic of Pullman districts of New York Central, Penn Terminal, and Adjacent Pullman districts was to have been held on Thursday, August 18, at Pelham Bay Park, but due to inclement weather was not held and will be cancelled this year. Last year's meet had to be postponed from its original date on account of bad weather. But it eventually was held. This year it was decided by the committees in charge that it would be impractical to set a later date now for the holding of the affair. First, because most of the athletes who were to take part in the various contests are members of the 696th Regiment, which is in encampment, secondly, the vacation travel has begun to work its way homeward and every available porter will be needed for service.
It was tentatively suggested by some of the committeemetha after the labor Day rush is over the districts interested give a monstrous indoor meet. The suggestion has been received with favor, but whether it will be feasible or probable, is a question with a later answer.

Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters Reviews Efforts To Adjust Matters With Pullman Co. Through Mediation
Chicago, Ill.—The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and Maids, through its general organizer, A. Philip Randolph, has issued a lengthy review of its effort to secure, through medium of the United States Mediation Board, an adjustment of its relations with the Pullman Co., which include new working conditions and a recognition of the Brotherhood as a union organization in the negotiation of wage and working conditions.
It was told last week that Edwin P. Morrow, of Mediation Board, had announced that body's failure to settle the matters submitted with a refusal to the Pullman Co. to agree, as did the body, to submit the dispute to arbitration. In the review issued by Mr. Randolph he shows that the Mediation Board had the matter considered from July 11 to August, then Mr. Morrow notified all parties concerned that "my final required action has been unsuccessful.
quoting a previous letter to the Board of Mediation, under date of June 21, in which the statement was made, that an agreement between the company and its porter requirements will meet all the requirements of the law, declarer that, "both parties are maintaining and complying with its provisions."
Mr. Hungerford then declared at since this was the case there was no dispute and no situation requiring mediation, and that "because of the nature of the agreement referred to, the
Mr Randolph particularizes the contentions of the Brotherhood, as admitted to the Mediation Board, and the contentions of the Duman, Co. as follows:
Gives 'the Contentions
"The Brotherhood contended: "That it represented the Pullman porters and maids because it had made the Pullman porters as members." The Company contended: "That the Employee Representation Plan represented the Pullman porters and maids, because 85 per cent of them had voted for the plan in the last election, November, 1930." The Brotherhood replied: "That the porters are under plan under intimidation, interference and coercion; it offered in evidence 100 idenfidavits, proving its contention." The Company contended: "That it had contract with its employer through Employee Representation Plan or other."
... Says Contract Is Null.
The Brotherhood charged that the contract referred to by the company was null and void because porters were coerced and inadvised; that they were not free agents; that the Employee Representation Plan had no lawful standing under the new Labor Act since it is company organized and controlled, while the Railway Act provides that employees must have self-organization without coercion, influence or interference; that even if the employees, have made a contract with the company they have a right to change to contract by giving due notice to company, and that the contract includes a 30-day notice clause.
The company's refusal to arbitrate is based on their ascription that there is no dispute to be arbitrated, but Mr. Randoph asserts that if there was not dispute the situation would make that declaration, and the fact that the suggestion for arbitration came from the board leaves the PuMan Co. without a basis for their assumption.
He cites the opinions of Alfred P. Thom and Donald R. Richberg counsels for the Association of Railway -Executives and the Standard Railway Unions, that when a railway fails the disputing parties are moved to submit to arbitration. The Western Railway -managers, in the Railway Trainner's case, took the same position.
Is Company Above Law?
The failure of the Pullman Co. to agree to arbitration in this matter, following the suggestion of mediation Board, raises the question of whether or not the corporation above the law. He, quotes Mr. Morrow's letter of August 9, telling of the failure of mediation, and asking as to the attitude of the contending parties to mediation, asking Randolph to agree to the arbitration suggestion, requesting that the Pullman Co. he urged to join with the, Brotherhood in submitting the question. On August 10 Mr. Morrow wrote the following in making the arbitration suggestion, and conveyed the information that the Brotherhood has already acceded to the proposition. To this, L. S. Hungerford, vice-president and general manager of the Pullman Co., replied at length, on August 12, gust 24 for Mehravan, Va., where she will visit her sister for a few weeks.
J. P. Berry of Fairfield, Comm. motored Mrs. Janet Godman Jackson, and Mrs. J. Price Sawyer to Savin Rock, Conn., the past week. The ladies report a very interesting account in the Ellinor Brown spent the past weekend in New York City visiting relatives and friends. Rev. S. W. Smith and family have returned from their vacation. The repairs on the Messiah Baptist Church will be completed in time for the State Convention which meets in October. Mary Church has returned to Spring Lake where she spent her vacation. Mrs. Louisa Smith and daughter, Pauline spent Sunday in Atlantic Highlands, N. J., Whille, theres they wished Mr. and Mrs. Lucas.
quoting a previous letter to the Board of Mediation, under date June 21, in which the statement added to the agreement between the company and its partners and maids fully meets all the requirements of the law, declaring that "both parties are maintaining and complying with its provisions." The case declared at since this was the case that was no dispute and no situation requiring mediation, and that "because of the existence of the agreement referred to, the company cannot persons mentioned in new letter."
Un-American Position
The letter, of August 12, then reiterated Mr. Hungerford's contention that the agreement referred to "is in effect, is binding upon both the parties, is being adhered to and maintained by both parties; it seems clear, therefore, that the company cannot properly depart from its provisions or adopt other methods of dealing, with its employees of the classes named which are not in consonance with its interests.
Mr. Randolph declares the letters show the position taken by the Pullman Co. to be "indefensible, untenable, definitely un-American and undemocratic, ignoring the law "enacted by Congress and signed by President Coolidge," itself to the principle of brute force.
Mr. Randolph calls attention to the fact that the Pullman Co. is arbitrating the case of the conductors, and calls its refusal of the same privilege to the porters of a flagrant discrimination," meaning the company, takes the position "that the porters have no rights the company is bound to respect."
He recapitulates the Brotherhood's demand for a minimum wage and presents $27 per month, abolishing the tipping, system; 240 hour work month as against nearly 400 hours on the 11,000 mileage basis; and formation of the Brotherhood to negotiate wage and working conditions.
