Albrecht, was to be electro- wards the colored man, Jan The condemned men had ordered their last meals in accordance with the prison regulations and were waiting for the food to appear when word came from Albany that Governor Alfred E. Smith had commuted the death sentence of Mason to life imprisonment. The story of the commutation runs back to when James Mason wrote to the law offices of George Gordon Battle, 37 Wall street, asking for assistance in his case after sentence of death had been pronounced. Shooting Followed Fight The death penalty came as a result of the arrest of Mason charged with the shooting to death of James Hiss, a West Indian, who was said to have been a "bad man." Mason charged Hiss with beating him two days prior to the shooting. When the men met again two days later, it is said that there was a gang standing around when another quarrel took place between Hiss and Mason, in the scuffling that followed, Hiss was shot dead. Mason was arrested later for the crime although he protested innocence. In court Mason did not have a lawyer, so Attorney Ralph Warnick of 200 West 135th street was assigned by the Judge. Mason was found guilty of first degree murder and sentence to death the electrocution to take place on September 29. Mason, as was stated before, wrote Mr. Battle asking help. Harvey J. Bresler, a young attorney attached to Mr. Battle's office, was sent to see Mason and they discussed the case. At that time Mason said a fund was being started to hire an attorney. Later developments brought out that the fund never got under way, but having promised assistance, Mr. Battle and his assistant said they would see the case through and would expect no remuneration. The Age Petitions Through The New York 'Age, petitions were grotted up last week and in the course of two days about 1,000 representative people of Harlem signed them, asking Governor Smith for commutation of sentence. Invaluable assistance was rendered in this connection by Bill Garrett proprietor of Garrett 's Barber Shop, 2311 Seventh avenue, who assisted in procuring signers of the petition. Monday, September 26, Attorneys George Gordon Battle, Harvey J Bresley and Ralph Warrick, together with Robert Taylor of the District Attorney's office, wien to Albans, to see Governor Smith. On Tuesday—they met the Governor and laid the case before him. The commutation of sentence came Thursday a few hours before the scheduled time of execution. According to Harvey J.

In a letter dated September 15 addressed to the editor of The New York Age the condemned man wrote in part: "I have learn-today that you are getting up a petition to send to the Governor in my behalf in order to save me from electrocution, and I want to say that if you do this for me, I will be more than grateful." Jack Johnson Broke; Files Bankruptcy Plea Chicago, Hill-Jack Johnson, who knocked out Jim Jeffries in 1910 to win the world's heavyweight championship, entered an insolvent debtor's petition in court on October 3 to save himself from a debtor's cell. Johnson made the petition because he said he was unable to pay a $2,500 balance on an $11,000 bill for jewelry purchased. in 1922 for his former white wife, Lucille Camerson Johnson, in the futile attempt to dissuade her from divorcing him. "Nobody cares for an ex-champion," Johnson said. You've got to save your dough while you're making it. When I was making big dough, I would have laughed if anybody had ever told me I would end up in court trying to explain why I could not pay my bills." Joseph Massiah Is Hurt In Fight at Lafayette Joseph Masiad, of 228 West 148th street, is in the Harlem Hospital suffering from injuries received when he was thrown out of the Lafayette Theatre Sunday night by several usiers. It is alleged that Joseph went to the theatre to attend a show and became abusive when one of the usiers spoke to him about a seat. It is said that he struck the usher several blows, and also attempted to hit a woman standing near. Then a free for all fight started when several other usiers came to the rescue of their coworker. Joseph was hit on several parts of the body with a bottle, and thrown out of the theatre. He sustained lacerations of the scalp and jaw, and had several teeth knocked out. His body was badly bruised. Two policemen were called from the West 153rd street station, and gave first aid treatment. He was later taken to the Harlem Hospital in an ambulance and attended by Dr. Gee.

As the burglar started to leave, Christian is said to have snatched up a revolver and fired four shots. All four shots took effect in the hold-up man's body and he fell to the floor with bullet wounds in his arms, hand, hip and side. Steele was rushed to the Harlem Hospital by Detective's Battle and Brown of the West 135th street precinct where he died three hours later. The $25 and a revolver were found in his pockets.

Data as to amounts of insurance carried by prominent colored men is being gathered by Harry H. Pace of the Northeastern Life Insurance Co. but he is finding it difficult to secure needed information from the subjects of his inquire.

PERRY WON DISTINCTION BY SERVICE AS DEFENSE CLENSEL IN THE FAMOUS LOVINGS MURDER CASE IN 1923 Alexander Lovings of Eastern, Pa., was charged with the murder of Donald A. Kuebler on May 26, 1923, in the Hotel Cardion, where he was head waiter. The Cardion Hotel was owned by the father of Donald Kuebler. Kuebler was a graduate of Gerard College, Pa., and on the day of his death, brought some of his college chums in the hotel for dinner and while there, demanded of the waiter in a rough tone, that he and his chums be served immediately. They were seated in the front of the hotel looking out into the street. The headwaiter, observing, the boisterous condition of the young men, gave orders to the waiter not to serve them. Kuebler, after, waiting a while, demanded the reason of the delay in being served, and when told that the head waiter had given orders not to serve him, he became enraged at what he considered an affront in his father's hotel, and made an attempt to assault Lovings. He did slap Lovings in the face, but instead-of-retreatting Lovings stood his grounds, drew a revolver from his hip pocket, and commanded the deceased to retreat and when he refused, Lovings fired a shot in the air to scare him. Kuebler continued to advance towards defendant, who then fired the second and third shots which were aimed directly at him, where-upon he fell with a bullet wound through his heart. Police Take Loyings. Lovings left the hotel and wandered about the outskirts of the city, and finally secured a taxi, determined to go to his home at 338 Sturge street. Up to this time the city was in algarm. The police had covered the stations and places of escape from the County of North Hampton. The officers had made their way to the locality of Loving's home and were there when he arrived. Sentiment had run high in Easton against Lovings because of the great wealth, prominence and nificence of the Kuebler family. The father of the youth was president of the largest bank in Easton and was director of a number of other banks. He was president of the city railroad system and owner of several hotels. The influence the family exerted caused the deceased to be feared in the city, and the authorities permitted him to escape 'the law upon many occasions on account of his family connections.' Mrs. Lovings found difficulty in obtaining any member of the local Bar to undertake the defense of her husband, in view of the prominence of the family, and having exhausted her means in the preliminary stages of the case in the lower courts finally came to New York. Secure Perry As Counsel In this city, Mrs. Lovings visited Fred R. Moore, editor of The New York Age, who secured the services of Rufus L. Perry, for her. Mr. Perry at once entered upon his duty of collecting and shaping the evidence for proper defense of his client and with a letter from the Presiding Judge of the Appellate Division and other Justices on the Supreme Court Bench, he was readily given permission to plead in North Hampton County, Pa., by the Presiding Judge of the Court of Common Pleas.⁵ On this authority, Mr. Perry left Brooklyn the evening before the trial and arrived at Easton at 9:15 a.m. leaving him but a few minutes to get to the Court House. The case was promptly called for trial at ten o'clock in Part I of Common Pleas; before Justice McLean. Mr. Perry, feeling the effects of the all night ride, pleaded with the Court for a respite until noon. The court observed it would readily grant the request if the District Attorney consented. The request was vigorously opposed by the District Attorney who stated he hoped to finish the present cases in two days, and to grant an adjournment would interfere with another murder case he had prepared to try following the Lovings case. Mr. Perry complimented the District Attorney for his celerity, and urged that the excitement of a two days murder trial would relieve the discomfort he then had. That he was then ready to proceed at once Picking The Jury The District Attorney proceeded to examine the panel, and having spent about 15 minutes with the first juror, turned him over to Mr. Perry, who had him out of the box in two minutes. It was then suggested, in view of the questions asked by Mr. Perry, he should examine the jurors first. Within four hours, the whole panel had been excused after examination, and Mr. Perry had his rest. The District Attorney had elaborately prepared his case with a civil engineer, three doctors, the coroner and ten witnesses and two assistant district attorneys, and fought energetically for, first, degree murder. For nine long days, from nine in the morning to ten at night, the case continued. Mr. Perry for 6 days, by his questions to the peoples witnesses, strove to remove the case from CANDIDATE FOR JUDGESHIP 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100.

The associate Judges of Common Pleas and Superior Court frequently sat with Judge McLean and witnessed what was considered the greatest murder trial in North Hampton County for thirty years. College Faculty Attended The faculty of Gerard College was invited to attend the trial to watch Mr. Perry. The manager of the moving picture theatre at Easton told Mr. Perry that if he remained in North Hampton much longer, he would have to close his theatre. During the summation by Mr. Perry, the large court room was packed. The case was finally given to the jurors. For 22 hours they deliberated. The discussion waxed so strong their voices could be plainly heard in the court room and in the adjourning court yard, and showed Mr. Perry had completely won them from first degree murder. Five times the jurors came into the court for instruction and filed out again to battle with the facts. It was known that six jurors were for second degree manslaughter, four for first degree manslaughter, and two for acquittal. The final result was clearly a compromise. Lovings was found guilty of second degree manslaughter and Judge McLean, after stating the facts would have justified first degree murder, told Lovings he was very fortunate in securing Mr. Perry's services and immediately sentenced him to manslaughter from six to twelve years. Won Praise From Court Mr. Perry's handling the defense won for his the commendation of the entire Commons Pleas Bench the admiration of the Bar of North Hampton County, and the respect of the citizens, who had come to know him from his long stay on the trial, and he was invited to come to Easton and lecture because of the very favorable impression he had made. The letter of invitation was from District Attorney Albert Kahn, who wrote: "You will be surprised I am sure, to know you made many friends while, you were here trying the Lovings case, and all of them are anxious to see you again and meet you socially. We, therefore invite you to state when you will lecture to a body of professional men in Easton."

TERRIBLE TORNADO IN ST. LOUIS DEVASTATES RESIDENTIAL SECTION $100,000,000 Damage Caused By Storm That Lasted Just Five Minutes, Cutting Irregular Swath From Southwest To Northeast, Demolishing Homes, Schools, Factories, Trees, With Scores of Lives As Added Toll-Many Negroes Dead and Injured St. Louis, Mo.—At 1 o'clock, Thursday afternoon, September 29, St. Louis was a fair and smiling city. At 1.05, it was stricken and grovelling wreck, the victim of a ruthless tornado that rushed at ninety miles an hour through the West End, a section of boulevards, trees and houses of the moderately wealthy, the pride of the city's home section. Hitting the city in the Cheltenham district, the storm moved from southwest to northeast, plowing a swath, irregular and of varying width, leaving ruin and devastation in its wake. It was accompanied by a tremendous downpour of rain, but within five minutes the brilliant sun was shining through windtorn clouds, and men, women and children were emerging from the blanket of uprooted trees, demolishing houses and torn timbers and brick, intermeshed with thousands of feet of entangled electric and telephone wires that lend grim menace to every survivor of the storm's fury. Six square miles comprised the area of destruction, and it was estimated Friday that the damage loss would total $100,000,000 or more. And at that time there were 90 deaths recorded, with more than 1,500 men, women and children on the list of injured, 700 of whom were marked serious. United States Army troops, numbering 1,000, were moved into the city from Jefferson Barracks, and Major General William Lassiter, commanding the 6th Corps Area, was ordered here from Chicago to take command. Red Cross relief work was started immediately, and a local fund of $500,000 was started. According to a revised list printed Saturday morning, there were many Negro victims listed in the mortalities and among the injured. The storm approached the peak of its violence in the section along West-Belle and Enright avenues, a Negro residential section. One colored rescuer, Frank Beach of 4131 Lexington, avenue proved a real hero. He dug five persons, two of whom were dead, out of the wreckage of a double flat at the northeast corner of Sarah street and Cook avenue. His prompt work, resulted in the saving of the lives of three of the persons who were brought out with breath in their bodies. The huge Berean Seven Day Adventist Church that stood netx to these homes was completely destroyed. Poro College, through Mrs. Annie M.Turnbo Malone, opened its doors as a temporary shelter for the injured, with a staff of physicians and nurses on duty. In a list of 84 dead, there are nineteen identified and six unidentified Negroes as follows: Mrs. Sarah Greenfield, 3932 Fairfax avenue. Celle Bette, 4075A Enright avenue. Mrs. Josephine Sanders, 3948 Finney avenue. Earl Selton Prince Brockmon, 4031 Cook avenue. Will Washington Mrs. E. J. Williams, 4038 West Belle place Dan Turner, 4031A Fairfax At City Hospital, No. 2, for Negroes, there were listed 34 Negroes as injured. Other hospitals and sanitariums listing Negro patients were Barnes Hospital, 9; Jewish Hospital, 1; Missouri Baptist Sanatarium, 2; Deaconess Hospital, 5; St. Elizabeth Hospital, Granite City, Ill., 2. PORO COLLEGE A SANCTUARY FOR TORNADO VICTIMS Sleeping Quarters With Food Supplied Free By Mrs. Malone A despatch from St. Louis to the New York Times states that Poro College is being used as a place of shelter by those whose homes were swept away by the tornado. The armories and churches also are being utilized as sleeping quarters for the homeless. Poro College, one of the show places of St. Louis, and owned by Mrs. Aunie M.

Mrs. Malone, who is in the East on business, stated to a representative of The Age that she has not found it necessary to return to St. Louis, as edgar E. McDaniel, office manager, and Charles S. Stone, her personal manager, be bending every effort to aid the tornado victims. F. D.

LINCOLN'S FIRST NEGRO PRESIDENT TO BE INSTALLED Formal Inauguration On Oct. 20 To Be Marked By Notable Program Lincoln University, Pa.—Elaborate preparations are being made for the formal inauguration of the Rev. William Hallock Johnson as president of Lincoln University on Thursday afternoon, October 20. The exercises will be held in Livingstone Hall and a large number of educators and, prominent persons from all sections of the country are expected to attend; Ku Kluxism and Racial Prejudice Win Over Law and Order In School Strike By White Pupils In Indiana Defying School Laws, 800 Recalcitrants Stay Out of Classes Four Days, Demanding That 24 Negro Students Be Barred At Emmerson High and Put In Separate School Gary, Ind.—After several days' valiant stand against ku kluxism and racial prejudice, as exemplified by the action of some 800 white school children of the Emerson High School in leaving their classes because of the presence of 24 Negro students, it appears that the Board of Education and the Gary Council have surrendered to the mob. Thursday night, September 29, when the City Council passed in its first and second meeting art ordinance to provide a separate school for the Negro pupils, which was the thing contended for by the Striking white pupils, and which Superintendent Wirt had told them was legally impossible. When the school room doors were opened on Monday, September 29, the court ruled that two or three colored pupils, as of former years there were more than a score enrolled. This came as a result of a redistricting which had been made this year. Parents Behind Pupils Evidently incited by their parents many of whom are allied with the Ku Klux Klan some 800 of the 1400 white pupils in the school walked out of the building, and arose the demand that Emersonmarian students heads argued vainly with the recalcitrants, telling them it was impossible to accede so their demands, and finally, after three days, laying down the ultimatum that if they were not in school Friday morning they would be expelled for the rest of the semester. Emersonmarian students and the scraping of feet, as the pupils swarmed out of the auditorium and started the fourth day of the strike. The truunt officers were then ordered to round up all students under 16, with aid of the police, and forced into the school rooms. In the meantime, Superintendent Wirt was showing signs of weakness by offering comprises to the striking pupils. Through the student committee he proposed: Students Jeaved Superintendent Separate corners in study and excited rooms for Negroes and whites. Separate tables lin the cafeteria. Barring Negroes from all athletic and social activities. To these proposals, the students replied with jeers and hisses, and with a repetition of the shout, "Emmerson must be all white!" The counter-demand that all of the students be removed to other 'schools' and that striking students be allowed to return to their classes on the same basis as the non-striking pupils. That the school authorities are giving in to the student mob is shown in the action taken by the Clerk the emergency rule calling for a twisting the vote to be struck out to prevent the Negro Councilmen from forestalling the action; and then the ordinance was rushed through its first and second reading, the third reading to be followed by its passage for the called meeting. Provides for the erection of $10,000 for the erection of a separate school building for the Negroes. Nowwithstanding that the white students have been holding meetings every day, conducting them with bons for blocks, putting up signs, and the school with the words, "Allwhite" Emmerson or no classes? defying both city and school officials, no attempt was made to curb them. Machine Guns For Negroes But as soon as it was proposed that Negroes hold a meeting to protest Gary officials ordered the police out with a couple of machine guns to prevent a "riot," and would not let the meeting be held. The colored citizens are quietly waiting the outcome. Alderman Wiley, who was a Negro member of the board, declared that the Negro population was not aroused. Some of the business men and local leaders are behind the striking students, while many of the Cambridge, Mass—John L. Harry Derling 45 a lifetime resident of this city, died Sunday, September 11.

Lloyd Phoebe. business men and most of the churches are supporting the School Board. The Freebel School has about 800 Negro pupils on its roll, which is more than the white attendance, but there were only a few colored pupils there a few years ago. Students Return To Classes Friday's press dispatches say that the white students returned to the class rooms, Friday morning after all but three of the Negro students were removed to temporary school, pending erection of the $15,000 building provided for in the ordinance now before the City Council, which was scheduled for final hearing on Friday. The three colored students remaining in Emory were attending three for three years. Incidentally, it is remarked that Gary has several junior high schools for Negroes, but no senior high school.

Where is there a father or mother who does not desire an education for his children? Yet, how many fathers mothers have a definite idea of what that education is? Parents send their children to school to learn what is offered in the school but few, indeed, are the parents who know just exactly what Mary or James as the case may be—should be learning, mother will then child to be registered at the school and will probably announce, "My boy does not belong in the baby class. He knows all his letters!" Poor mother; She has probably spent all her extra time for weeks in teaching her child the alphabet, because that was the first thing she learned in school. But times change and education changes. No longer does the alphabet taught in LA count as learning the names of the letters, the children learn the sounds, so learning the names just mixes them up. A man comes to school and takes his son out because the boy is learning to do arithmetic by letters, and he "does not care or such amounts." Algebra was not one of the subjects which he studied in school and so he does not understand. A mother sees by his report card that her boy is falling below the promotion average in his studies. She would like to help the boy, but she does not just know what the boy is studying, so she cannot tell him how much she can only look over his homework and get a faint idea of what he should know. The school is too busy to write out for each mother a list of the work taken up in each grade and so the mother cannot help her child deligently and he probably misses his promotion. The right height of the medium of this column will be glad to supply parents with definite information in regard to the subjects taught in different grades! Night School Information Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evening from 7:45 until 9:45 there are sessions in Public School 90, 225 West 147th street and at its annex Public School 115 at 17th Street and Audubon avenue.

Quinlan, principal of the Audubon schools. Registration may be made during the evening or during the day at Public School 90. Widows' Pensions Is there any widowed mother with young children who has a hard time financially? We will be glad to help any such mothers who will get in touch with the School Editor.

Grade 1A Grade 1B Grada 2A Grade 2B / Grade 3A Grade 3B Grade 4B Grade 5A By LESTER A. WALTON In the New York Sunday World. Creditable activities in Harlem of former residents of the British West Indies were strikingly pictured in speeches, and the present-day political economic and social conditions in the Carribean interestingly told a few evenings ago, on the occasion of a banquet at Tabb's Grill, No. 594 Lenox avenue, for D. T. Wint, a Negro member of the Jamaican Legislative Council. Mr. Wint, known as one of the most progressive and influential leaders in the West Indies, was on his way home from Ottawa, where he conferred with Canadian Government officials. Besides being Legislator he is editor of the Jamaican Office of the Board of Education, Road Policy Board, Produce Protection Board and a Magistrate. Ninety per cent of the Jamaican are colorged, and the race holds the most important offices. For two years the outstanding political issue has been whether the Government should look with favor on and lend its moral and financial aid to the Producer's Association's proposal of encouraging co-operative marketing by operating a direct line of ships to and Native, Americans, joined with West Indian Negroes in honoring the_datinguished visitor, Walter F. James, British Proconsul, was among those present. The American educational system by those now successfully engaged in the professions here, men born in the West Indies who came to the United States to take advantage of the opportunities for a high school and college education. 1919 West Indian population in Harlem was 10,000. Today it is 60,000. The combined Negro population of the community is put at more than 250,000. Between 1914 and 1915, unchecked by immigration restrictions, natives from the islands of the Seas began to point into law for GIs in large numbers. They still land either to improve their economic status or to get an education. There has been a marked falling off in the number of newcomers from the islands to the United States during the last two years. This appreciable decrease has been due to an interpretation of the new United States immigration laws in which the British West Indies is located in the British Quota. Instead of coming to the United States by the hundreds monthly the present figure is approximately ten. "How the West Indian Negro is faring in business was related at the banquet by A. A. Austin, president of the Antillean Holding Company. This concern owns property in Harlem valued at $1,000,000. George Monroe, President of the British Jamaica Benevolent Association, spoke of what his organisational with a membership of 700 is doing. Reaction to the Trinidad Benevolent Association, the Leeward Islands Association and the Windward Islands Progressive League were present. Many Give Welcome. The address of welcome was made by Vernal I. Williams, a lawyer. Other Harlem residents born in the West Indies to speak were James S. Watson, Assistant Corporation Counsel; Dr. Lucien M. Brown, Dr. Charles Fairclough, Dr. E. F. Erawlins, Dr. H. L. Ellis, Capt Joshua Cockburn, Frank R. Crosswash, Richard Carey, Michael A. Mingo. Among the native American to make brief remarks were Dr. D. I. Hoage, C. B. Powell and the writer. Mr. Wint, as a representative of Jamaica thanked the American people for the great help they had given his country in its economic and educational development "We have given our country a West Indies," said the speaker, "so many of our young folk seeking a higher education have come to the United States for their training. As an instance of the United States, a beneficial influence on education in the Caribbean, the school system, the pits and intergrated lags for tuition than any other institution in the country, is the Happy Grove High school supported by Americans." Credit, was given, the United Fruit Company for much of Jamaica's agricultural development. Has Entered New Era of Prosperity. Jamaica has entered upon a new era of prosperity, and the people have confidence and respect for Sir Hugh Crompton, the Governor but two years, having previously served at Hongkong, served at Mr. Wint reports. Prevent infection! Treat every cut, wound or scratch with this powerful non-poliosonis antiseptic. Zonite actually kills germs. Helps to heal, too. Ninety per cent. of the Jamaican are colored, and the race holds many important offices. For two years the outstanding political issue has been whether the Government should look with favor on and lend its moral and financial aid to the Producer's Association's proposal of encouraging co-operative marketing by operating a direct line of ships to and Laart Jamaica raised nineteen million bunches of bananas, two-thirds of which were shipped by the United Fruit Company. It will be taxed the same as all other concerns in the event the legislation is enacted. Mr. Wint says the expectations are that twenty-two million bunches of bananas will be raised this year. The proposed tax levy will be regarded as a security for any loan made by the Government the longer the enterprise and will remain in force until all liabilities have been satisfied. Then the money would be used to establish an agricultural bank. Seeking: Status of A Domnion. Information is given by Mr. Went that a movement is on foes to bring the sixteen different islands under British rule, sometimes referred to as the "Continental Colonies" into a Federation of Islands, thereby assuming the status of fa dominion with a Government. The colonies favoring such a step are said to include Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, Guiana, Honduras, Leeward Islands, Windward Islands and St. Lucia. The combined population of the sixteen islands is two and a half millions. Jamaica has 900,000, Trinidad 450,000, Guiana 298,000 and Barbados 200,000. Members of the Banquet Committee responsible for the affair given in the Jamaican legislator's honor were Dr. S. M. Pottinger, chairman, who also acted as toastmaster; Dr. Herman M. M. James, Ivan E.

The Age Finds Friend On Gold Coast, Africa From far-off Koforidua, Gold Coast, West Africa come the following appreciation from a native African missionary of the A. M. E. Zion Church, who writes his appreciation of The New-York Age and pays a feeling tribute to the late roi E. Kwigar Aggrey, beginning his early death. The native African writes as follows: "My Dear Friend: I am quite sure that you will be very much surprised to receive a letter from an unknown friend in Africa, the land of your ancestors, . . . People in Africa are always very anxious to meet with their brethren in America. "A few weeks ago a friend sent me a copy of The New York Age and I was too pleased with it. I read it a dozen times and passed it on to another friend. The paper I edited and you have shown to me the groteshes have the equal ability as an author to the world. Go ahead and let The Age continue to shine. "We were pained and shocked to learn of the death of our countryman, Dr. J. E. K. Aggrey. His death is a great loss to the country, especially to our beloved Africa. We will remember anything we shall remember his virtues, kindness and sacrifice for our Africa. The late, Bishop John Bryan Small's Aggrey is not dead, but sleeping. "I hope we will remain good friends and continue to love our beloved Africa. God bless you, is my priest." Rev. P. D.

The latter issue, according to Mr. Abrams, is the: real cause of dissension, as the trustees and many of the members thought it an ill-advised project to obligate the congregation to the building of ‘4 $500,000 chorch . structure. He points to the fact that ground was Groken at Ocean avenue and For- reat’ street in April, 1916, for the proposed new building, but that nothing has been done since; that some, $200 collected at thar time was used by the pastor to defray expenses attached 10 the ground: breaking exercises.

Poor Layout of Roomsand Adted Costs May Check The Movement To _ Apartments Built By Rockefeller Recent Increase of Rentals Cause Resentment | Among Applicants For Homes In The New Paul Laurence Dunbar Apartments. Although recently published reports have it that nearly 5,000 people filed applications for the Paul Laurence Dunbar Garden Apartments, now be- ing completed by John D. Rockfeller, jr., on upper Seventht avenue, the indications are now that these apartments will not be rented nearly as fast as was During the past two wecks there has been a marked change in pub- lic attitude toward this project First-there was general disap- pointment over the cost of the: a- partments and the rentals because it had been announced at the.time the project was started that the ap- artments were hems erected te rent at _not_ more than $11 per room.

A few months ago The Age direct attention to the practice of ambulance chasing, as a means of exploiting the unwary, victims of street accidents, we may be taken to a hospital. The story told showed that policemen, hospitalendants and almost every person in contact with these unfortunates were in the way of some ambulance chaser, to notim of possible claims for damage A few months ago The Age directed attention to the practice of ambulance chasing, as a means of exploiting the inawy, victims of street accidents, who may be taken to a hospital. The stories told showed that policemen, hospital attendants and almost every person in contact with these unfortunates were in the pay of some ambulance chaser, to notify him of possible claims for damages which he might secure for the lawyers whom he represented. Since then some of the daily newspapers have taken notice of this method of promoting litigation and revealed the inner workings of the ambulance chasing industry. Closely allied to the business of ambulance chasing is the starting of unnecessary suits for damages upon a contingent fee. This leads in many cases to the manufacturing of false evidence and the bringing of fake suits. These practices have been denounced by reputable lawyers as unethical and against the law, being largely due to the scramble for clients by unscrupulous lawyers. On the other hand the taking of cases on a contingent fee is defended by some reputable lawyers as affording the only means by which poor persons with good causes for action can get their cases into court. While this may be true in some cases, too often the contingent fee is made the means of robbing the client of the greater part of any recovery. To remedy the abuse of the contingent fee, it is proposed that all agreements of this nature be supervised and regulated by the courts. Some critics of the evils of the present legal system are inclined to the belief that there are too many lawyers for the normal needs of litigation. Hence the employment of ambulance chasers to secure claims for damages through the tips given by policemen, hospital attendants and others coming in contact with such cases. Then there is the indisposition of the bench and bar as a whole to interfere with the individual conduct of their professional brethren, unless it becomes too flagrant a scandal. The need for a higher degree of professional responsibility has been emphasized by some of the leaders of the bar, but there are too many shysters and sharpers in the ranks for the good of the profession. The present newspaper publicity given to their exploitation of their clients may open the eyes of the public to the danger of dealing with this class of lawyers. A lawyer should be picked as carefully as a doctor, and personal character as well as legal ability should be among the qualities required. Too many lawyers have earned the reputation of selling out their clients. Others, while fighting their opponents, grab the major part of any recovery at law, so that their client is but little better off after his case is won. There is need for better understanding between lawyers and clients as to contingent fees. Ambulance chasing should be dispensed with as too expensive a device to reach the ear of justice. RESULTS OF KUKLUXISM. The State of Indiana furnishes at present an example of the direct results of Kukluxism as allowed to grow unchecked in the North. The invisible government set up by an irresponsible organization has brought about an era of political corruption and criminal practices unparalleled in the history of an American commonwealth. This state of things has resulted in the indictment of many officials, including the Governor of the State and the Mayor of Indianapolis, all of whom are Republicans, and even the United States Senators have been smirched by the suspicion of subservience to Klan domination. The head of this secret organization which has dominated the politics of Indiana, through the cowardice of its leading politicians, is now serving a life term in the penitentiary for the murder of a young woman, committed under most revolting circumstances. It was this outrage which created a revulsion of popular sentiment against the klan, which resulted in the trial and conviction of the klan dragon, one D. C. Stephenson, after a strenuous fight in the courts. To secure his release or at least to punish those officials who allowed him to reap the punishment which he deserved, Stephenson has been threatening to reveal the details of the corruption, which enabled him to control the men whom he had helped to put in office through the power of the klan. But the evil wrought by the klan influence in Indiana did not stop at political corruption and individual outrage and murder. The intolerance and race hatred upon which the klan was founded, have poisoned the public sentiment of the population to such an extent that the strike of the high school students of Gary can be traced to that evil influence. This strike was called because a score of Negro pupils were enrolled in the Emerson high school, upon which several hundred of the white students refused to attend classes. There had been only two or three students of the race in previous years, but a change of districts this year increased the number. The school authorities took a firm stand against the insurgents in the beginning of the strike, instructing the truant officers to round up the striking students and to enforce their attendance. But the city council of Gary meekly acceded to the demand of the strikers that "Emerson must be all white," by passing an ordinance to provide a separate school for the Negro students. Thus the poisonous sentiment of intolerance and race hatred fostered by the klan appears to have triumphed in Gary, at least for the time. Racial segregation is to be made a part of its school system, at increased cost to the taxpayers and with the indictment of racial strife and bitterness of feeling between the two races who live and work side by side. Gary is a thriving town in Indiana, built up largely through the activities of the United States Steel Corporation. It has been regarded as a favorable-location for Negro labor, which has found employment in many of the great steel plants. The town council has three Negro members and the race has participated in its civic and educational facilities until this outbreak of kukluxism. It is to be hoped that the growing abhorrence of klan methods in politics and in crime will extend to its incitement of race hatred and intolerance. The Klan is a menace to the peace and progress of any community. THE PRICE OF PREIUDICE The American people frequently indulge in the manifestation of prejudice on account of race, color or religion, but in the long run they inevitably pay a price for such intolerance. An illustration of this fact is found in the foolish law passed by Congress to forbid the transportation of prizefight films in interstate commerce. This law was enacted after the fight in which the redoubrable but indiscreet Jack Johnson became champion. It was then deemed necessary by the national lawmakers that the advocates of racial superiority should be spared the exhibition of pictures showing a white fighter knocked out by his black opponent. With the barring of black prize fighters from championship contests this excuse for such a foolish law has vanished, but the law itself remains on the statute books. Hence a too conscientious Federal official in California sought to arrest Tex Rickard, the promoter of the recent Tunney-Dempsey fight, when pictures of it were shown in a San Francisco theatre. The house staff of the theatre were also arrested. The inconsistency of this action was to be seen in the fact that on the night of the fight itself some sixtyseven radio stations were combined in a national hook-up to broadcast every detail of the fight at Chicago. Millions of people gathered around the receiving apparatus to listen to the account of left and right hooks and uppercuts given by one or the other of the contestants. Brave men and gentle women gloated over the details of bloody eyes and bruised bodies reported by word of mouth from the ringside. And yet it is a Federal crime to transport pictures of such fights from one state to another for exhibition purposes. There are some abuses that the doctrine of interstate commerce might be invoked to deal with to advantage, such as the vicious system of jim-crow cars, by which interstate passengers are made to pay first class fares and are given cattle car accommodations. But this fight film law is a futile concession to Ameri can race prejudice which renders the Federal government ridiculous in the eyes of all thoughtful people. GOVERNMENTAL SEGREGATION. One of the greatest blots upon the Coolidge administration has been its complacent acceptance of the practice of color segregation handed down to it by the Southern controlled policies of the Wilson regime. The Washington branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its president, Neval H. Thomas, has taken up this matter of segregation in the Interior Department with Secretary Hubert Work, who apparently felt some resentment at "outsiders" meddling in the situation. In a letter to the Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Thomas said among other things: "I beg to repeat that I am not an 'outsider' but one of the 120 millions of citizens from whose pockets the great Department of Interior and all of its servants are maintained. And I must state again that I came to you in the name of this great-nation-wide organization, the National Association for Advancement of Color, which originated from colored people come and whose wrongs it must seek to right. So please do not consider me an 'outsider.'" "You said that the colored clerks were satisfied. Certainly some one has misled, for this splendid group are stung deep at this unnecessary and unjust discrimination. Did you not send you a respectful though vigorous appeal? Did not a Sommittee from the group appear before you in appeal and protest? Have you not received appeals from colored employees from Divisions of your vast Department of Human Resources you that there in almost unanimity among them in the feeling that you have made an undemocratic distinction in assembling them in one place. To my personal knowledge some of the few who did not sign the protest failed in fear of possible embarrassment for fear of possible clerks are not satisfied. "You told me with great empathies that there is no segregation in this novel arrangement in the Pension Office, and that you were only considering efficiency, and that I did not know the workings of your office. I admit that I do not know how to run your company, but I did a day that color and efficiency have no possible relation and the congregation of nearly all of your colored employees in one Division is no accident. It is segregation pure and simple. I also made it plain that the colored people feel the gradual dwindling of numbers of colored examiners and other colored Department. Today there are but 5 colored on rolls, when but a few years ago there were 25. Soma of these wagons have occurred THE AGE READERS' FORUM under your administration without replacements. "I am more than surprised to have you ask: me if those cultured employees wanted to be with white people and white women. I repeat that they do not and that is in no wise the issue. They simply want to be let alone to face the level of their merit and to have their government refrain from stigmatizing them as pariahs, an insult that will work discrimination in salaries, working conditions and character of work." It is well that a constant fire should be kept up against this practice of segregation among government employees.

Clayton Powell, made that famous appeal to Harlemites to support you in the Primary in your district my chest because I knew that the right man was on the job if only supported. This is one of the big things that believe Harlem is going to put over. After the Elk's convention, she was a revelation to the white folk who came to Harlem myself, surely our people can do things; all they need is the right pick. And I do believe that they made it in selecting Mr. Fred R. Moore to sit in the Alderman Chamber to represent the Negro community. If you will poll one of the biggest votes ever put over by the colored section of New York City. I am sorry that I am not located in your district. I am still living in New York, and the endower to the end. Believe me to be, with best wishes for your success, sincerely yours, RALPH SKINNER 245 West 20th Street, N. Y. C. Right Man Named Rendall Memorial Presbyterian Church I note that you have been chosen as a candidate for a place on the Board of Aldermen of New York City. It is my firm conviction that the right man has been selected. This is to wish you success in obtaining this political honor which I feel you so richly deserve. THOS, J. B. HARRIS, Pastor A Stalwart Champion I have known Mr. Fred R. Moore for a great many years, and believe that the Republican Party could not have selected a more thorough and stalwart champion for the community, or one of greater moral fibre. I wish you much success in this election. JAMES C. THOMAS as it is detrimental to the best interests of the race and of the country. It is contrary to the basic principles of Republicanism and if persisted in will place both parties on the same plane in the eyes of the race, with but little to differentiate one from the other. Equality of representation in government service and in citizenship is necessary to make Republicanism a live issue that may command the support of Negro voters. Downtown Business Men Endorse Fred R. Moore Republican Business Men Incorporate 4 West 40th Street, N. Y. C. At a meeting of the directors of the Republican Business Men, Inc., the following campaign committee for 1927 was appointed: Frank D. Waterman, Arthur W. Little, Thomas W. Stocum, Francis L. Maiturhar, Louis E. Jallade and Theodore W. Hass was instructed and empowered to represent our association in furthering the interests and assisting in the election of the candidates of the Republican Party regularly nominated for office in current elections, acceptable to our organization on the basis of their records, Characters and declared principals. In conformity with the mission of this committee, was express to you Fred R. Moore, the endorser of your association of your candidacy; and we tender to you the cooperative services of this committee. ARTHUR W. LITTLE Acting Chairman Wishes For Success W. H. Davis, general manager of the New York Amsterdam News, and Mrs. Sadie Warren Davis, treasurer, have written a letter wishing success to the Aldermanic candidacy of Fred R. Moore. Mr. Edward E. Best, 108 West 130th street, expresses his sincere wish with success to the Fred R. Moore's Aldermanic campaign. Mrs. Mary C. Lawton of Brooklyn, former president of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs, congratulates Mr. Moore on his nomination, and offers her services in the campaign in whatever capacity she can be of use. Expatriate Mouthings Editor of The New York Age: The appointment of a delegate (to represent whom?) by the "Sons and Daughters of Barbadades," an anomalous designation in days of unity and co-operation, to the Pan-African Congress a far-fetched misnomer of fancy gesture reputed to be the act of presumption on the part of a narrow-minded islanders who aiming to the public the impression that they speak for somebody other than themselves. They may represent themselves, and this they have, a perfect right to do, but their assumption of representation of Barbadoes is a sorry indication of ignorance of the nature of undertaking so much unqualified hardly be credited with the ability to represent itself satisfactorily, far less the finest rock in the Caribbean Sea, to say nothing of attempting the representation of substantial colonies as Trinidad, rumba, and the Yucatan. These would-be-to-the-forte gentlemen have not bothered about taking a hand in the active development of these islands, and have shown up to present little more interest in these places in in painting about them. The role of advocating the employment of a "white godfather" to wave a magic wand and change immediately for the better West Indian conditions is characteristic of spineless beings only who are devoid of the pioneering spirit and of any desire to ad suburbanize them to develop the West Indian people to re-velop and security of its people. Barbados poor, wee island, have been for many years exceedingly over-populated. It is a law of economics that a surplus of labor always results in a corresponding increase in wages, and this whether employers or Germans, Englishmen, Americans or anybody else. With a system of co-operation and co-ordination, industrially and politically, introduced into the British West Indies this surplus of labor in Barbados hanger exist, and laboring conditions would be automatically bettered. Let these wanted-a-god-father expatriates and strutting chanteclers "represent" themselves, not the multitudes of West Indians who are working strenuously for the development of the West Indies, who are desirable of creating a new nation, and not a future endangered in any way by a curtailment of liberty, though that curtailment he accompanied by a possible fattening of stomach under the aegis of an explorer of whatever race or hue. Let them know that there are such things as "imponderable which can never be exchanged by authorities only for any mess of postage." Thanking you for space, I am, Mr. Editor, a West Indian from Barbado, but by no means one of "The Sons and Daughters of Barbados." J. ELMER WORREL Brooklyn, N. Y. The Louisville Leader noted the sprucing of a new art movement in that city with the following exordium: Music, art and literature are the natural flowering of cultural living. They are the hallmarks of high ideals in social life. Our country, having established its claim as a leader among the nations along agricultural, manufacturing, inventive, and financial lines, seeks now to swing itself upward to higher planes of living on the wings of the arts. Has the Creator endowed the Negro with super-spiritual and super-art power that one denies it. But the Negro has the Creator his heritage, his responsibility to make heroic efforts to develop his God-given powers? It is the solemn duty of every one to seek the highest development of his endowments and to assist his fellowmen to become producers of beauty. The College of Music and Art, now operating at the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A., until the building at 2503 West Walnut becomes available, after a short vacation will reopen about the first of October. Do you know that this art school is now the only one for Colored People in the country? Should not our city be thrilled with pride and lend unintended cooperation and whole-hearted support to promote its aims? Such a moving appeal could only be answered in the affirmative. Considering the correlated subjects of birth rate and birth control, the editor of the Washington Tribune cities the Malthusian law as hearing on the economic side of the problem. He concluded as follows: From the point of view of religion, it is to be observed that the command to increase and multiply was given at a time when there were few human beings in the world. If one will read the Bible with a mind free from bias, in sincerity, and superstition, he will in the later books of Nazareth that can be logically contended of Nazareth women enjoined their sturduce to mean that their multiplication are enjoined. Jesus of Nazareth nowhere enjoined these things as a duty, and Paul, while recommending marriage, did it solely in the interest of orderly and conventional living. He gave some advice to Timothy as to what the flappers of that time should do, and it would conduce greatly to social order if the flappers of this day would follow it. This was doubtless the admonition, "that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully." And Saint Paul was The Gary School Strike Editor of The New York Age: The human race is usually so generally abominate that one is disposed to forgive it for most of its actions, but the strike of the high school students in Gary is enough to august the most disillusioned. We want to look to on the better side of man's affairs thought that Lincoln had clear up any misunderstandings that Lincoln had clear up any night: have regarding the freedom guaranteed Negroes by the Constitution. And now, 1927, we find 600 arrogant nihonpoo students declaring that they are too good to associate in their classes with Negroes. The faculty of the high school in Gary is not heard. Those who are supposed to uphold American principles are silent. We learn that a Jim Crow system to be established, the expense being placed by taxation on both white and colored Gary citizens. These persecuted Negro students can afford to smile and be quiet. There can be the little doubt that when the 600 white student strikers are regretting their stand, or are striving to eke out a mere existence, the colored boys will be things of real benefit to humanity. Is the Nordic theory so weak that it must be uphold by force? FREEMAN HOPWOOD. New York City. Events and Comment By BENJAMIN KARR In The Cleveland, News Gary is an upstart city on the Lake Michigan shore of Indiana. The town was built around and founded on mills belonging to the University Corporation, commonly called the trust. It is a young, raw and rather rough suburb of Chicago. There is a high school in Gary that bears the name of Emerson, which ought to belong to nothing but a beacon light of liberty, broad vision, and mental and spiritual vision, and above that of most places as a people. But the Emerson school in Chicago bears the name it bears by financing in a strike of hundreds of pupils against the presence of twenty-colored boys and girls, only twenty four out of about 1,500 altogether who are enrolled in the school. It will be digressive folly if the school authorities in Gary yield any point whatever to such bigotry. If their comparatively unseatable town were a city like Cleveland, for instance, or Boston, there never would be a question about the colors of colored pupils in the Emerson High school or any other public school. Leading centers of American life and progress would never tolerate a tempt to force colored pupils out of a school which they had every legal and moral right to attend. counted worldlywise in his day and generation. Hailing the decision of the Georgia Supreme Court which declared the Negro barber law unconstitutional, as sustained by the best sentiment of the, community, the Atlanta Independent said: Some time ago the city of Atlanta at the motive of certain elements of organized labor passed an ordinance making it unlawful for Negro barbers to wait on white women and white children under 18 years of age. The community was so incensed at the unreasonableness of the ordinance and the race hatred it implied, that the Chamber of Commerce, the Committee on Church Co-operation, the Interracial Commission, the Evangelical Minister Union and various other civil organization entered the solemn protest against the Chamber of Commerce contested the unconstitutionality of the ordinance. Among the prominent law firms tending their services to the Chamber of Commerce and without charge to fight the case through all the courts were Brandon and Hynds, Alston, Foster and Moyse, and Little, Powell, Smith and Goldstein. The Independent thanks the lawyers and the conscience of the people "for the great service they have rendered humanity by fighting this unjust and barbarous law." And apparently no pun was intended. For the first time in the history of Denver, its gates were opened to a national convention of Baptists during September. In recapitulating the extent of this unincorporated body, the Denver Star said: The Convention controls, through its Boards, a million-dollar Publishing House at Nashville, Tenn., with Henry Allen Boyd as its secretary, one hundred and sixty acres of land in Dexter, New Mexico, recently donated for Baptist use, one Baptist church in Key West, Florida, tour and attendee schools in Jackson, S. C., property and church in aima, valued at twenty-five thousand dollars, and a large tract of land donated by the Liberian Government of Liberia, W. C. A., and a Theological and Training Seminary at Nashville, with five acres of ground on which there are located two brick buildings, with electric lights, steam sewerage connections and with the town's water supply city. The combined reports in the Collation show that approximately two million dollars are represented in assets, with but little indebtedness. In his opening address, Dr. J. Edmund Ward, who was re-elected president, favored the organization of the whole Negro Baptist demonstration in one body, "if the Kingston can be 'extended thereby and Jesus receive greater glory.' Why not? While the Cleveland Post was not noting a new religious departure in the shape of "Orientation Services" the Cleveland Gazette fulminated as follows: Here in the East End of Cleveland, including "the roaring third," our people have civic leagues, women's clubs and other organizations a local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., a business league, scores of church organizations, lodges, many "business and professional men," churches, ministers, pastors, preachers' messiobaries, galore and still right there under their very moses continues to exist a "Sodom and Gomorrah" that one would think would move even death himself to some action lookingief from an immoral and criminal condition (among their people) that "sitting to high heart But, alas, it does not their serious attention. They sink at it because all feel the condition is necessary in order that money can be made out of it. This is the curbstone politicians' claim, too. May God have mercy on all their souls. The devil will not l As the "Orientation Services" were designed to further progress along social and material lines, there would appear to be ample scope for such church activities. The Hartford Observer which claims the transient distinction of being the only Negro weekly published in Connecticut, under the heading of "The Negro Press" reprinted the following paragraph in an article bearing the signature, Louis Johnson: The New York Age is the and it harrisoned of black newspaper and Fred R. Moore is her old man. He has lived with and been faithful to her for nineteen years. She is a fine brain in somewhat a paseable Moore has seen seventy years and a few sad disappointments). Tatt appointed him minister to Iberia, and the appointment was confirmed but he has not yet got to Africa. He has the first colored man to be nominated to the New York University, first to fall of each Perhaps disappointments have some influence on his education. At any rate, he continues to give the colored press one of its most trestling pages of editorials. The drubbing he has rained upon the bookstores of Harlem makes him widely respected. Unless this signature is an alias for a clever Boston newspaper, Louis Johnson is guilty of a big plagiarism. CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Refuge Church of Christ The pastor filled the pulpit again last Sunday filled all the day, after having been absent for two Sundays. Ardent with the Spirit of God, he delivered to the congregation a wonderful message from Jeremiah 3:2. "Truly in vain is salvation kept for from the hills, and from the multitude in his introduction Pastor Lawson gave primary interpretation of the prophecy of Jeremiah, referring to its birth, call to the ministry, and his protest upon the plea of a child and inefficient. It takes a man whom God has filled, who doesn't care for gain, popularity, not even his life, to fill the office of the ministry. A lot of men would preach the real truth of Christ, but for monetary gain, friends reputation and the like. The Lord was in extreme need of a real man with a backbone, as is the time of Isaiah, but Jeremiah was not so bold as Isaiah in answering the call, Isaiah immediately acknowledged his sinful, undone condition, and was touched by the angel of God with a live coal sanctifying fire and carried out "Here I am, I send me." In Jeremiah the day God was not so formulate as no one else was, or his internal resource never gave out. He is always able to carry on; no matter how many men fail If any work is really God-given, and He puts it either into a man's heart to deceive, or into the powed of his hands to do, no fear but He will also provide stuil sufficient, muth that he will be muth was timid, yet spake holdily in the name of his God. He was a man of prayer. He was jealous for and obedient to God, he was often perplexed and sometimes dependent, yet was continually sustained by the grace of God. He declared unto that degenerate nation the consumming judgment of God upon them, upon them for their disobedience, and rejecting the true God. At the evening service Elder Lawson spoke from Matthew 20.14, "Lord that our eyes may be opened." The message was impressive, as he pictured the two blind men that sat by the way pleading that they might receive their sight. The main thought that seemed to grip the mind of the speaker was the comparison of these blind men to souls blind to the light of salivation. How fervent the sinner should cry. "Lord that our eyes are blind," he said. "No one blind, but all whose eyes are spened to the goshel of deliverance from sin; for without Holiness, no man shall be the Lord. Hebrews 12.14 Cry unto God. He will give you sight. "Be as the blind men, let no one stop you from crying, until the Lord answers, and gives you sight. First Emmanuel Church At the 11 o'clock service Sunday, Pastor Barden preached a very inspiring sermon to the many assembled His text was, "And in that day we shall ask me nothing Verily verily; I say unto you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father in my name he will give it to you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name, ask, and ye sell receive it, and may full." John 16.21, 22. Thessalonica "Our Lord the Emmanuel the Central Radio and Telephone Station in the Universe." Pastor Bolden said, Our Lord Jesus Christ the Emanuel, called around him humble, simple, infectious and vigorous men. The fairly work of almost of them was that of fishermen. They were healthy children drawing their supply for existence directly from the earth, the air and the sea. These life-long and life-sustaining elements, as their fustious habits, gave them strong and vigorous bodies that nourished their large brain capacity, from which virgin thoughts may come forth. Our Lord the Emanuel out himself, His demonstrations, and His teachings in their consciousness by making them apostles and disciples. To them may appear strange that a Master may appear strange that a chose to have His ideas in the world of humanity through some already world renowned group of intellectuals, scientists, religionists or government leaders. Time has shown that His wisdom in this method exceeded the wisdom of any person that has ever lived among men. For from these childlike, impressionable, unprejudiced and worldly ignorant apostles has come down through ages the testimony, the unchallenged eye-witnesses the life work and power demonstrated both in a time of greatest ability, by the greatest and truest personality with a perfect human-domain nature in the universe. He tells them that while His name has not been the medium through which they are to pray the other asking Him for anything, they are to henceforth do so. And they are doing so the Father would hear their prayer to grant their request, burial and resurrection, and they had received the promised power of the Holy Spirit who enlightened their minds and illuminated their hearts and brought 'to the remembrance all the things which I Lord the Emanuel, while I Lord the flesh had told them, they used it to cool them and power As an example the lame man, who was at the beautiful rate of the temple asking alms of Peter and John, was told by the Peter Peter to look on them, and he gave 'Silver and gold have I borne such as I have give I unto thee the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, to walk and I took him by the hand and lifted him up; and immediately this feet and ankles received strength. And he leaping up stood and walked and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God." Our Lord the Enamuel them, now and ever will be the central radio, and the telephone station in the universe. All sincere delire, uttered or unexpressed, all motions the hidden fire that trembles in the heart, vibrating toward the Pather His Name will receive answers and help me not to doubt, question or plan the method by which true prayers are to be answered. Recently may not the destruction by cyclone of the spirit of wicked pleasure, vanity and race segregation and discriminatory laws, as was practiced in Miami, Forida, and the states through which the Mississippi runs, where the awful flood created havoc, and the very recent calamity in St. Louis, Missouri, be an answer to the prayers of earnest believers in political quality, religious tolerance, opportunity, economic freedom and general, goodwill? May not scientific investigations, destructive germ isolations and aerial adventure, though it cost much in the loss of life, be an answer to prayer Let us be simple, childlike and obedient to the Father, who is the God, in our Lord Jesus Christ; the Emmanuel, and who, when we are regenerated, is the God with us And in His Name we may ask what we will and it shall be done, county and beneventure is everywhere known. I ask us claim our wealth of joy, prosperity and eternal happiness. At 2 p.m. the Sunday school was opened by Miss Maggie Johnson. A review of the lesson was given by the pastor. At the evening service, Pastor Bolden continued his discourse of the morning service, which was helpful to those who heard it. Dinner was served during the day to the members of the Sunday school. Bible class every Monday night. Special services next Sunday. St. Paul Baptist Church If in these notes last week was the rally was not mentioned, it was not an intentional omission. On the last Sunday in September of each year we hold a rally for special offering, and this year the annuities of the church reported nicely. The reports were supplemented the past Sunday, and the trustees are happy. On the Wednesday night, the pastor was invited to the rally. Heages after a two week's series of meetings in the absence of the president Miss Johnson, who is sick. It was an agreeable surprise to find that the interest had not slackened, and the meeting was a good one both from the point of attendance and interest. Next Wednesday, night we are expecting the young people come with suggestions to be put into a fall and winter program. Miss Johnson hopes to be able to be out at that time. Friday in late Desert Ware, who has had a vacation down old Vaca, has back at his high点, and really looked natural to see him there. His words to the people were encouraging. Enthusiasm ran high Sunday all day. The churse sang with new vigor. The height on cataclysmism was when the pastor announced that the property had been secured for the new church in Harlem. He stated that one brother had called him on the morning after the resolution was passed by the church to authorize the trustees to go ahead with the purchase and erection of the new church edifice, and offered his service in getting money to pay off for the trustees of the church. Sister Adèle Willebower, had gone him one better, by starting a subscription list for new linen for the church's use. The pastor casually mentioned the getting of memorial windows, and Sister Mary McThompson was on the job to give her subscription. Nexx Sunday evening, Dr. W. B. Brown pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, will be the preacher. Grace Congregational Ch. The hot weather acted more as a tonic than hindrance to the grace Church last Sunday. The simple but dignified service was carried on without a hitch. The choir was excellent. The pastor was the preacher, the theme of his sermon was "Praise." He said praise had its foundation in love, its spirit in song, its urge in faith, its motive in friendship with God. He said we should sing praises, because, first, praise honors God; secondly, it comforts in sadness, thirdly, it braces in trouble; fourthly and fifthly, it aids church; union, and prepares the heart for the heavenly angel. When the preacher invited the unchurched and the unsaved, the following persons formally entered into fellowship: Mrs. Aida Linzy, Mrs. Isdora P. Burton, William Grant Still, Henry P. Darden and John P. Cottrell. The Communion was celebrated and there was profound revelation—a delightful atmosphere of praise. The pastor remarked that the entire official personnel of the church was present, with one exception, and congratulated the officers. William W. Rockwell, of Union Theological Seminary will preach next Sunday morning. The evening's service was a lavish service, with Counselor Miles A. Paige presiding. The program included a ten minute song period; serenade and prayer, Deacon J. E. Reid; introduction of master of ceremonies by John E. Barnwell; piano selection, Beatrice Brown; anthem, Grace Church Clair; reading, Mrs. Eva T. Parks; organ selection, Hugo Bard; address, George E.

Church The Junior Church held its regular services at 10:00 p.m. with the Reception at 11:00 a.m. At the 11 o'clock services the pastor, who was the preacher of the hour continued his series of sermons on the disciples. A most interesting and applicable portrait of the beloved disciple, John, was given. At the conclusion of services, ten persons joined the church. At 11 o'clock the Old Fellows assembled in the church auditorium, where Dr. Robinson preached a special sermon to them. The beauty-cultures and barbers of Harlem were guests at the evening services, pastor preached a special sermon to them. Two of the young barbers joined the church. The campaign rally started on Sunday and there will be special services at the church each evening throughout October. Mother Zion Church The closing services of the 131st anniversary of the organization of Mother Zion Church were held Sunday evening. The pastor and officers thank the pastor, officers and members of sister churches for their fine fellowship and cooperation through these services.

Are we in the house of God doing the things we like to do, or doing the things which beggars the character and which make for the glory of God? Christianity appeals to the vitality of man.

Coach Meehan, an Irish Catholic, told the committee that Meyers was a student in good standing at New York University and was a member of the varsity team.

The games were played before the record crowd of this season, more than 5000 fans, and were filled with excitement. The Lincoln had defeated the Grays, 7-4 in Philadelphia on Saturday and many of the local fans expected to see the Giants turn the tables on the Smoky City team Sunday. Manager Lloyd staked his all on Phil Cockrell, the pitching ace of the Hildale Club, in the first game, but Cockrell was way off form, and had to retire in the fourth inning after the visitors had made 12 runs and as many hits off his offerings.

C.—Exhibiting an eleven that amazed approximately 4,000 spectators by its powerful driving backfield and brilliant line, the A. and T. College grid team clearly outlasted the invading Lincoln University eleven from Pennsylvania at the stadium Saturday, October 1, in one of the best Negro games seen in this section in many seasons. At the start of the game it was evident that the A₁ and T. eleven was a superior team, and when the final whistle had blown Coach Byrnn's eleven had sowed the northerners under with a 20 to 0 score. Greensboro grid fans who witnessed the clash saw everything happen that is possible in a football game, and a lot of things happen that are almost impossible on the gridiron. The outstanding feature of the game was the execution of a triple pass by the Lincoln eleven and 47 yard pass by A and T. Lincoln's triple pass came near the end of the third quarter. The quarterback took the ball from the center, passed it laterally to the left halfback, who shot it to the fullback, where it was passed to the right end for a 35 yard gain. A large number of fans declared it was the first time such a pass had been executed on a local gridiron. A and T's 17 yard pass, thrown by Coleman, left halfback to Streator, right end, came in the first period. Coleman shot the pass with dead accuracy to Streator from the 50-yard line to the three yard marker, where the ball was carried over by Henderson on an off-tackle play A. and T's first touchdown came three minutes after the game had started.

Colored Rider To Be Featured at World Series Rodeo, Oct. 25 Bill Pickett's Skill In Mexico City Arena Brought Danger The greatest exhibition of steer wrestling ever given is not to be the hair-raising feats at Fred Beebe's World Series Rodeo which Tex Rickard is to present at Madison Square Garden. October 25 to November 2. It was that by Bill Pickett, the colored range rider from the Pecos Valley in West Texas, when he gambled for his life with an infurated arena full of Mexicans in the bull ring at Mexico City. Bill was a featured rider in the 101 Ranch Show, and when he left the arena it was under the cover of friendly guns held by schwling, cursing cowboys from north of the RSO Grande. Bullfighting, that grisly sport of killing a bull with cold steel, has been Mexico's national sport since the days of Cortex and Comando To humiliate El Toro was to be burmach the honor of Mexico's sport Wherefore, when flaring three-sheets plasted every available fence in Mexico City depicting the dusky Pickett twisting a steer's neck and wrestling the animal off its feet, public sentiment seethed and bubbled over. Open threats of death to the Gringo were made. But Bill laughed his contempt for all of Mexico and all the Greasers south of the Rio Grande. He would bulldog as never before. "Bill Ridos The Bull" Into an arena crowded to the doors a sleek-sided, black, longhorn steer raced the night the show opened. The Mexicans greeted the bovine with shouts of "Vive, El Toro!" There were other shouts of "Death to Pickett" and "Kill the Gringo." At the drop of the flag Bill Pickett, dressed in a white satin buildupog costume which accentuated his ebony skin, thundered out of the chute riding Hornet, the best show horse in the Southwest. Bill caught the longhorn in mid-arena and dropped on his neck. Then began a mighty struggle. The longhorn pitched and tossed, but Pickett stuck. The crowd went crazy and cheered the bull. "Vive, El Toro" rang the shouts. Slowly Pickett twisted the black's neck around and, reaching up, got the jaw-hold he wanted. The bull dropped to his knees. "Keel him," shouted a Mexican in the gallery, and a bottle hurtled through the air to hit near Bill. In a flash cushions, bottles, benches and even knives were hurled into the arena. They hit the longhorn, bounced around Bill and some hit him on the bounce. Old Bill stuck it out and shouted his defiance to the crowd. He gave an extra heave and pulled the bull over and the flag dropped. It took only forty seconds for all this action, but those seconds whirled. Bill got to his feet as his hazer rode the longhorn off to one side. Shooting From The Hip. Bill made a bow, but one bottle thrower with more certain aim made a direct hit, and Bill dropped unconscious, his white suit showing a crimson suit. Forthwith the show riders—whites, Indians and all—rode into the arena with drawn guns. There was nothing of a show about that. Just an armed demonstration of Americans taking care of a brother in distress. Colonel Joe Miller, riding a white Arabian stallion, picked up Pickett and carried him out of the ring. Outside of the arena a threatening mob mobled around. Colonel Miller rode out with Pickett. Another bottle gleamed in the half light. Colonel Miller shattered it with a bullet from his 45, shooting from the hip. That bit of gunplay put a damper on all enthusiasm of the crowd, and white the indignant citizens of Mexico City muttered and gesticulated, there was no more bottle throwing. Just to make sure that there would be no mistake, old Bill Dickett rode out the following night and bulldogged another steer. There was no bottle throwing this time. --- Edith Wilson At The Lafayette Next Week Clarence Robinson, whose rapid rise as a producer is one of the most frequently discussed topics in Lafayette Square, will present his latest show at the Lafayette next week. It is called "Jazzmania." Robinson staged Jimmie Cooper's latest revue, is the organizer of the revue being presented at one of Broadway's most developed night clubs, and has developed an enviable reputation in both colored and white theatrical circles. Edith Wilson, who returned from Europe with Florence Mills, will be the star of "Jazzmania."

Florence Mills Guest Of Club Ebony Opening The petite and charmug Miss Florence Mills, whose return to Harlem's bosom on the S. S. Ile-de-France last week is being celebrated right and left, was the guest of honor at the formal opening of the Club Phony, 65 West 129th street Wednesday evening. October 5. The little lady whose genius and fineness of character have endeared her to the race of which she is a shining example, came out to woo her new friends. Gardner D. Pinkett and Lloyd C. Thomas, the managers, success in their new venture. Miss Mills has returned unspoiled in spite of the adoration at her foreign admirers and the phenomenal success of her European (London) season. To the swank Ebony she brought that something which characterizes outstanding personalities and added her 98 pounds of feminine loveliness to the brilliance of the occasion. For a number of people it was the first meeting since her return and the opening served the double purpose of delit for the Ebony and welcome home for Miss Mills.

Fraser Robinson, opened the concert season for 197-28 with a recital on Monday night, October 3, at Town Hall, West 43rd street. In the announcements concerning the concert, emphasis was placed on the fact that Miss Fraser was born in Georgetown, British Guiana, and she has appeared in recital in various parts of South America and the West Indies. A considerable downpour of rain, accompanied by high winds, may have affected the attendance, but those who braved the elements gave the singer a most cordial reception. This reviewer was not one of those brave souls, however, and so, to his regret, he is unable to express a first-hand opinion of Miss Fraser's art. The musical commentators who are attached to the daily press were of a harder constitution, or else were driven more effectively by their need to keep pace with musical developments; for several of them have commented more or less favorably on Miss Fraser's work. They seem to agree that the singer has a voice of "good natural quality," this phrase-being used by F. D. Perkins of the Herald Tribune and Olin Downes of the Times, and they also agree in saying that the method of tone production is faulty. To quote Mr. Perkins: "There was considerable power and her best notes suggested that she could do better had she been able to employ her voice to best advantage. The recital did not give an impression of much variety." And said Mr. Downes: "The singer has a voice of good natural quality, best in its upper middle range, but a faulty method of production, too often resulted in a pinched and metallic tone, which was accentuated by poor diction." The accompanist was Edward H. Margetson, the brilliant young pianist-compressor, who was also represented on the program with a song, "Longing." FAMOUS MONARCH BAND, DIRECTED BY LIEUT. FRED W. SIMPSON, TO PLAY UNUSUAL NUMBERS IN ANNUAL RECITAL When Lieut. Simpson's crack Monarch Band comes again before the public on November 4, it will play several selections which have never before been played by a colored band in New York. Among these will be "The Ride of the Valkyries" from Wagner's "Die Walkure"; "Marche Slave" and "Sonelle 1812", an overture, both by Kachikowsky. The manner in which these difficult selections are interpreted by the band that has been termed the best of the race will prove whether or not it has the right to that title. Recruited originally from the streets of New York, Lieut. Simpson's Monarch Band has steadily climbed the ladder of fame, until today there are few bands of the opposite race that may be classed as better than this one. Before the war, through the war and after, the men who now make up the band earned prominent places in the world of music. Under the careful training of Fred W. Simpson, the men have now reached a point in perfection that enables them to attempt the most difficult band music and to surprisingly well render it. Backed by an organization which functions with even more prelusion than the band itself, and watched over with great interest by the entire personnel of Monarch Lodge No. 45, I. B. P. O. E. of W., of which lodge it is, now a part, the members of the band plan to branch out into greater fields and to do a greater community work for the people of Harlem. With such an organization right in its midst, it is felt that the colored people of this section should make the band one of its community exhibitions, and it is towards this end that a movement will be started. Arminius Hayne, president In their coming annual concert, in November, when the selections never heretofore played by a colored band in New York will be played, the people of New York will be asked to show their appreciation and interest in a local outfit that has for the past five years won first place in every Elk band contest staged at the annual conventions of the order. This year, because of the convention being held in New York Monarch Band took no part in the contest, they being the convention committee under which the annual contest was staged this year. Already, however, the band is preparing for the next year's contest in Chicago and, as usual, Lieut. Simpson expects to come away from the Windy City with first prize. Another musical treat that will be heard at the coming concert will be several of the Spirituals specially arranged by Lieut. Simpson, among which will be Burleigh's "Deep River." Association Meeting The opening meeting of the Parents' Association of Public School 119, on Thursday evening, September 29 was featured, by the appearance of the Dixie Jubilee Singers, Eva Alberta Jesyre director, in a program of Negro spirituals and jubilee songs.

Florence Mills Banquetted Miss Florence Mills, who has just returned from abroad, was the guest of honor at the Foodlight Club, New York City, Saturday evening, October 1. The occasion was occasioned by a flower friend and admirer, both within and without the theatrical profession. The affair was quite a success, and demonstrated the esteem in which Miss Mills is held. The entertainment was under the auspices of the Foodlight Club and promoted by Cynthia C. Mills. F. E. Miller of Miller and Lytles acted as toast master. Numerous toasts were responded to, all "touching and agreeing" on the same point. Miss Mills, in a near little speech, responded, thanking a concerner, evidence of airiness and appreciation. She is borne on a brief vacation and to take a much needed rest. Her future activities are not yet ready to be made public. Those who attended the banquet express themselves as a kind, please and wished for Miss Mills to lift it, a useful and successful entertainer. New York Pianist Plays at Cheyney Chayney, Pa.—In a program that featured a group of compositions by Negro musicians, Miss Olivey L.

Winkerby, aged 18 years, was called from a most promising career to her eternal reward. She was the youngest child of ex-Senator and Mrs. D. W. Winkerby. Mr. Winkerby, a graduate and trice two terms in the State Legislature and also did national service at Washington, D. C., all in the Eighties and nineties. The respect paid the little girl's memory were of beauty and sweetness. Resolutions testified to the church and merrit of the child. The floral designs valued up into the hundreds. Rev. J. H. Martin her pastor who baptized her a few minutes ago officiated at a funeral service from the Booker T. Washington High School in 1928, having taken all of her early training, and two years of high school work in the Delia Harper Merge High School. The Christ Disciple Church in eastern North, Carolina is holding its conventional meeting along with the local church, Rev. W. D. Parks, pastor. The Baptist people of the district are in session at Battleboro, N. C. W. H. Townsend and Rev. W. H. Penny are forging the Masonic Temples of the World to the front.

Y.—After worshiping at 65 Westchester avenue-three months, the pastor and congregation of Bethesda Baptist Church returned to their new church edifice on William street on September 25. Only the Sunday School Chapel is completed thus far. The finished structure will cost approximately $30,000. Sunday, October 2, was rally day and they, realized $1,008.30.

Dr. Maite Matti Swe was chalriady of the dinner committee, and her efficient co-workers were Medamesa Lillian Brown, Marle Southall, Elizabeth Hines, Anima Smith, Margaret Whitfield, Emma Corbin and Elmora Liggina and several of the young girls served as Alumni Bowl, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-Although Bowl: football fans did not get any thrills, they had the satisfaction of seeing, from the new steel grandstand, the Tuskegee Tigers, pile up a score of 47 to 0 against Straight College of New Orleans, the Gulf Coast champions of 1926, and the Tigers this afternoon. The playing on both sides was rigged and showed the need of considerable more practice. In the first period the Tigers slowly kicked 'thief' way to one touchdown. Stevenon missed the try for the extra point. The second quarter resulted in the ineffectual defence of the visitors giving way to the plunges of the home boys for three touchdowns and the Tuskegee half of Tuskegee 27, straight 0. During the third quarter Captain Bailey's men dragged through the downs for 14 points more. The advantage of an almost unlimited, even though green reserve, began to show itself in the last period as Coach Abbott's "benchmen" alternated first dives with the Creole's incomplete forward passes and closed the game with a final 6 points just before the whistle. Straight has a plucky team and the players won the admiration and sympathy of the grandstand for their consistent playing throughout the game with almost no relief by substitution. J. Adams, center, C. Adams, half back, and R. Hector, end, play with for Strain. On account of an injury of an ulcer, not play his final good game at end Clark, guard; Captain Washington and Johnson, tackles, as well as Bolden and Weems of the backfield, did some hard and consistent playing. Even taking into consideration the swelter weather, the Tuskegee machine shows great need of tightening and olling to bring it up to its old time speed and accuracy. "A Night of Love" At The Douglass Theatre With hand to hand fighting between dazed spanish grandurs and courageous outlaws; with a Moorish Bacchanalian orgy featuring beautiful women dancing to the cracking music of a "Spanish bull whip; with fights and duels and a marvelously impressive "miracle"; tender love scenes and a dozen spectacles rolled into one, the George Fitzmurray production of "The Night of Love," which comes to the Doughtia Theatre Saturday, *Sunday* and *Monday* should please everybody. In a big scene of the picture Romald Colman faces death at the stake with the lighted knee already, flaming around his knees. In one of the operas of the beautiful Ilma Banki hurts herself over a 500 foot Cliff, rather than suffer at the hands of the bandit. "the burning" scene staged in the courtyard of the castle before an audience of thousands of soldiers nobles and peasantry, will thrill any audience. Surrounded by four masked and hooded executioners Colman is carried in and bound to the stake while the soldiers pile fagoes higher and higher around his body. At the flames shoot up, the crowd pushes closer toward the protecting cordon of soldiery. The demouement, portraying the impressive miracle playing on the religiosa over-wrought peasanty, will long be remembered, and the riot which follows giving the rescue of Colman, the rest of the lovers, will be eminently satisfactory to all who see this greatest of medieval romances: "The Midnight Watch" At Roosevelt Theatre "The Midnight Watch" At Roosevelt Theatre H. H. Van Loan, author of "The Noose" was written for Rayart a picture titled "The Midnight Watch" which comes to the Roosevelt Theatres at nightly only. This also is a crook restores only a tribute to the heroism of the police from New York to "San Francisco and way points. It is said to be a sweeping story of police methods in running down criminals. Roy Stewart plays the role of a young college man who has become a detective under command of a veteran police official. Mary McAlliss appears as the girl in the case who is implicated in the crime. A large cast supports the principals and according to preview notices, the picture is made with telling realism. New Western Picture At the Lincoln Theatre Tim McCoy, who was last year introduced to the screen in a vehicle written by Peter B. Kyne and directed by W. S. VanDyke, "War Paint," will be seen at the Lincoln Theatre in another Kyne vehicle directed by Van Dyke.

The Running Wild Four are at Loews Lincoln Square Theatre, New York City, Six Cracker Jacks are at B. F. Keith's Theatre, "Akron, Ohio." Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—At a large, attended, and enthusiastic inciting of the local members of the Tuskegee Alumni Association held at the Alumni Hut on September 28, plans were formulated to send the Tuskegee S2 piece Band to Philadelphia on the ocean of the Tuskegee Lincoln Football game. It was the opinion of many of the graduates that the band played an important part in winning the game last year, and there was no desire to do less on Tuskegee's second invasion of the North than was done on the initial appearance. Arthur P. Macdonald president of the local body, graduates of the students and friends of the institution from all sections of the country, "wrapped up" as never before over the approaching gridron contest with Lincoln and expressed the hope that everyone would get squately behind the team and give the movement to send the band to the game his whole hearted support. Announcement was made by Captain Alvin J. Neely executive secretary of the General Aulnii Association that a special train with diner and pollman accommodations would leave Monday. D. Hall "Terminal Station" evening October 24, for Philadelphia, Philadelphia, T.

The human accomodation would cost $7.95 for upper berth and $9.00 for lower berth. Persons planning to make the trip are requested to communicate with Captain Alvin J. Neely Tusceegee Institute, Alabama. Virginia Seminary 11 Takes First From Shaw Lynchburg, Va.—In its opening game of the season, Virginia Seminary, displaying a game that showed rough edges in spots, but which was also indicative of great promise, walloped the "Bears" from University, Raleigh, to the time of 38 to 10.

Moore of 201 South Station Building, Boston, Mass. Mr. Moore's business is merchant tailoring, and what lends color as well as credit to his success is that he has made this meteoric within the brief period of five years. From an ordinary cog in the service wheel of the Pullman employment, this former porter has risen to a position of real affluence in the commercial life of his city. He still serves, but his services are of the class that places him in the rank of producers. In attaining his position in the business world, Mr. Moore has not only benefitted himself, but his success has reacted to the benefit of members of his race, by supplying them with dignified employment. In the South Station Building, there will be seen working in his establishment a goodly number of colored tailors, who, were it not a Negro establishment, would be Idle or, perhaps, employed in some other work in which a knowledge of their trade would be utterly useless in them, which is a common situation in Northern cities. Another suspicious feature of this business is its patronage. Mr. Moore has so conducted his business that he has built up a clientele of customers which is as varied as it is large. Bankers, brokers, railroad officials, train conductors, trainmen and train porters are numbered among his customers some of the railroad officials whom he served whiles in the Pullman service and many of the men with whom he ran are now his steady customers. For a young man, who has not yet reached his fortieth year, the ability to build up so prosperous a business in so short a period of time is just what one of his admirers aptly termed it—a credible, judicial achievement. Still this is not the first time in the history of Boston that a Negro was one of the loading tallers in the city. A decade or so ago, J. H. Lewis, a Negro ran a tailoring establishment in the Hub city, the patrons of which were exclusively of the wealthy class. When Mr. Lewis died, the establishment practically died with him. In the rise of Taller Moore, old residents of Boston see a worthy successor of the late pioneer. SOME OBSERVATIONS OF MR. LOUIS WHITE OF CAMBRIDGE, MASS., WHILE ON A RECENT VACATION TRIP In the latter part of August, Mrs. White and I began our long-planed vacation. We film visited our son, Harvey Richardson, a well-known hotelkeeper at Cape May, N. J.... From there we turned our faces to Pittsburgh. In the latter city my wife has three brothers and two sisters. On our arrival there we were met at the Pennsylvania Station by Mr. Pearl Peter, a brother-in-law and Mrs. Pearl. We were driven in Mr. Pearl's hairdress machine to the home of the couple where we stopped during our visit in the Smoky City, and at which we were entertained in a most hospitable and regal manner. "Among the many impressions I received during our sojourn in Pittsburgh, home leaves a more favorable indentation in my mind than that made by this personality and business success of our host. A man just in the primes of life, I would say, between forty-five and fifty years of age, of this physique an urbans address, Mr. Pearl is a typical representative of, the progressive Negro. Coming to Pittsburgh thirty years ago, a more boy he had ambitions above the average Negro had; he was ambivalent to become a business man. "This goal, however, so he told me, was not so easy to attain as he thought. But after much struggling and backed by a determination to win, he finally began the business of dealing coal and ice. Today, he is a large and successful merchant in these commodities. He employs a large number of members of the race in the business, which is prestigious to have the financial backing of some of Pittsburgh's best business men. In addition to his coal and ice business, Mr. Pearl is a substantial properly owner. "Despite these purely material assets, he is a devout church-man, being a pillar in the church of which he is a member. Asado from his hospitality, the visit to this gentleman was well worth the trip. "In mentioning the part of my vacation sojourn, I do so with the hope that it may catch the attention of some young college graduate, whose school diploma is hanging on the wall of his room, and who is waiting for luck to lead him to success. The successful men I know, and those whom I met on my recent trip, are men whose success has been attained, not by luck, but by perseverance and grit. Some of them started in the most commonplace of jobs, but they didn't remain there. The young man, even though he is a college graduate may begin lowly, but he need not stay so. Editor of The New York Age: The Labor Board recently notified A. Philip Randolph self-styled general organizer of the so-called Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and alds, that their final efforts to bring about arbitration before the Company were successful. The porters and alds failed in failure, there being no dispute existing between them, and consequently there was nothing to arbitrate. He now proposes a most drastic plan that if successful mean great economic loss, irreparable damage and an uphalve in the highly efficient service rendered the public by the Company. Randolph has filed a "petition with the Interstate Commerce Commission, making the abolishment of tips on Pullman cars, stalling tips on an additional charge levied by the railroad, the published tariff rate which each passenger is compelled to pay. This petition is based on a false premise, as tipping is a passengers' own proprative—obviously voluntary on his part, without the alightest element of coercion. The Randolph Charges In the petition filed before the Interstate Commerce Commission it is stated that the practice is alleged to be in contravention of Badgett Act of the Interstate Commerce Act of indirect charging, collecting, or receiving on the part of defendant from some passengers in greater or lesser compensation for services rendered, than that "it is collected or received from other parties for like and comparative service. ced to be paid by any passenger, many of the defendant's employees are prone to render more or a higher quality of service to the passenger paying the largest gratuity and this said practise maintained and officially confirmed by defendant results in multitudinous unlawful and undere preferences. An Unlawful Allegation The allegation that the tip is an additional charge that the passenger is compelled to pay is untenable as the tip is a voluntary act and out of every car full of passengers there is on an average about three who do not tip. It is a strict rule of the Pullman Company: that the porters must treat all passengers alike and it is a dischargeable offence to solicit the porters and the passengers. The porter cannot dictate the quality of his service on the ambient of the tip as he never knows until the termination of the trip just what amount the passenger will give him, hence there is no lawful or undue preference for the provision of the 'service renders discrimination almost impossible, if there was an inclination on the part of the porter to discriminate. Tipping is 'how a universal custom, practiced all over the civilized world, and is by no means confined to Pullman porters, every phase of social and business life.' In 'high' finance, the banker negotiates a loan for $100,000 at six per cent. He receives an additional thousand dollars as a bonus, which, in its final analysis is a tip. The surgeon performs a serious operation. He charges a thousand dollars, and receives five hundred dollars additional for his successful and skillful work. This too is tipping in the ranks of professional men. Bonuses Arg Tips Real estate, dealers receive liberal bonuses, as their tip for big real estate transactions in addition to their regular fee. Government employees, traveling salesmen, and other business men are all allowed a certain amount per month on their real estate purposes, even the patients in the hospitals on the bed of affliction tip their orderlies. The slang phrase, "Everybody is doing it, surely applies to tipping. Hotel waiters, cooks, dining car waiters, bell boys, red caps, bar bartenders, harvest in tips, so why, should the Pulman man heiden be the pril GEORGE L. KORD ```markdown ``` vilege of shipling in this harvest and increasing his income in some instances more than a hundred per cent. As a matter of fact, tipping has become such a fruitful source of revenue that hat-rack boys waiters and bootbucks are the restaurants for the privilege of working in their places for the tips they receive. If a poll were taken amongst the 12,000 porters today, you would find that they would vote, in unison against the discontinuance of tips. All porters know that tips are the basis of their economic success; anyone familiar with the various groups of workers in the Negro race will tell you that Pullman porters are the most prosperous of the non-professional groups. It must be indisputable that man with Pullman porters lives on homes, send their children to college, wear expensive clothes, and enjoy luxuries such as automobiles, radios, diamonds and fur coats, than any other group of unskilled workers in America. The great host of professional men who have matriculated from college and entered the professions, and now have a large share of the world's riches, will testify that they were enabled to pay their way through college and made on Pullman porters had to work for straight salaries they would not have been able to complete their education College Students Were Helped Two years ago, the Pullman Company changed their policy of hiring 'students for the summer season' and inaugurated the system of transferring porters to districts where heavy seasonal travel prevails. This policy produced consternation in the ranks of the boys from Yale, Harvard, Shaw, Fisk, and Wilberforce Universities, because these boys and their parents both depended on the liberal tips received on Pullman cars for their tuition, books and clothing. Surely if the wages paid are so low the boys' paternal pawners cannot earn decent living working for the Pullman Company, our college boys would seek some other avenue of employment to pay for their education. Before Mr. Randolph began to preach his discourse of misrepresentation, it was the common opinion in all groups of our race that the Pullman porter's job was the best money proposition open to colored men in the industrial field. It is a singular fact that every discharged*porter and 95 per cent of the workers in the company come back seeking re-employment. Most of the porters who went to Chicago on special-trains to the Tunney and Dempsey fight came back to New York forty to sixty dollars richer, and this is not because they bet on Tunney but, because they gave good service and the passengers tipped them accordingly. The public demands courtesy and good service from the porters. The Pullman Company prides themselves on their renders render. Tipping is the basis of good service. When you eliminate, tipping, you remove the incentive to please the public. Pleasing The Passenger As long as the porter knows that he will receive some added compensation he will try harder to get your telegram off at the next stop; not to keep you waiting; to have your bed made; to answer the bells promptly, to keep the car at the right temperature and properly ventilated. He does so many things to make the trip one of comfort and pleasure; that the passengers all fell obligated to give the porter a guide. Know when then you have indifference on the part of the porter. The service is reduced to a sort of mechanical process, and he does not care whether you are pleased or not. On special trains and, private cars the gratuities run sometimes to a fabulous sunsets from a tipping standpoint. It is not an unusual thing for private car crews to receive fifty or seventy-five dollars each for one-day trips to or from bingo games, or Princess and more than this on private cars to the Kentucky Derby at Louisville. Highest : Prices : Doalers pay almost nothing. Send Stamps for inspection, or send detailed description of same to Box X Y Z, N. Y. Age. I am especially interested with a person who is a citizen, that received eight hundred dollars each for a trip from New York to California, and wants to be acquainted with a porter who made the initial payment per his home of $2,200 with tips he earned on two $2,000 car trips of approximately thirty days each. Some Lucrative Runs There are a great many runs in the New York, Pennsylvania Terminal, and other districts that yield tips of from eight to ten dollars per day throughout the year. These are not exceptional cases that happen once in a lifetime, but are cases that may be repeated at any time. As an illustration, one porter made three hundred, dollars in from Philadelphia to the Chicago fight and return. Being anxious to know just how the porters feel about the latest move of the "Union" I went to "the platform" and interviewed a number of porters. My first subject was a "seasoned porter of twenty-five years" experience. His general "department, neat appearance, marked politeness, pleasant smile, stamped him as one of those who belonged to the job delight to relive with, and to do to. What do you think of abolishing tips?" I asked by way of opening a conversation. "Doing away with tina," he replied, "would be reducing my income a hundred per cent. I have been on this line twenty years. I have been on this line twenty years. I have educated my children, and I have motor car and we are living 'hapilly at our home. I know all the regular riders over here. I try to anticipate their wants; and they are very liberal to me with their lips." He said as he advanced a few steps and proaching passenger, and reached for his baggage. There passed between them a nod of recognition. He placed the baggage in the car, returned, and explained to me that who goes to Washington every Monday in his drawing room. "He always gives me a 'dollar' it comes as regularly as my pay check. I have a great many other regular passengers I call mine. I have some who know me so well the day I am done out, I try to make each passenger feel that I am his personal attendant. No sir. I am not in favor of abolishing tips. When you take tips out of your car, you take all, the charm, fascination out of railroading." The Porters Tip. Too The other 'portiers all expressed the same sentiments regarding tips as this man. The 'porter himself finds it necessary to 'tip. He must tip the dining-car waiter. He tips the custodian at the porter's home located in various districts. He must live in Harlem, he must tip the 'elevator operator in the large apartment houses. The Interstate Commerce Commission probably knows that they would have as much trouble on their hands trying to enforce a decree prohibiting tipping on Pullman cars as the Federal Government has had trying to enforce the Loatheed Act. A few years ago the Louisiana legislature imposed tipping. Tennessee and several states in they placed large, placards in conspicuous places in the cars notifying the public, that it is a violation of the law to tip in that state. The porters were skeptical of, running into that territory, but after making a few trips, they found that the public regarded this law as an unwarranted invasion of their private rights and continued to tip as before. Some of these states have repealed these, laws, and in others, they have become obsolete. Would Disrupt Service Such a decree issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission would be highly discriminating in the selection of red caps in the terminals, and waits Broadway Auto School For Winter-Months only Also Courses In BRICKLAYING and CANDY ICE CREAM SPREENS 2340 SEVENTH AVE. N.W. Corner 137th Street--N.Y.C. Ice Cream supplied on abort notice for all occasions. Telephone Audabon 10140-10234 Pulham Company, takes in their highly trained porter and the efficient service they render, the public. It is not unreasonable to presume that, the embodiment of tips and the institution of union rules, would disrupt the service and destroy that friendly relationship existing between the porter and the traveling public. If union houses will prevent a porter, from answering the request of this morning, or the employment of non-union waiters in the station restaurant prevents him, from bringing a bottle of milk to the crying, baby, or the bootblacks' union prevents him from shining shoes on Pullham one, then that friendly relationship existing between the porter and the traveling public will have reached such a point of strain that of this so-called monopoly job of the Negro, race and the closing of another great industrial center to colored help. I am not surprised to learn that this latest move to abolish tips has hurried out to be a boomerang to the coming attackers and a coming panic strike is the fear thrift the Interstate - Commerce Commission may stop tipping-and deprive them of a large part of their income, and they are leaving union like - rats deserting a minking cage. **GEO.
