Aldermanic Victory In New York Of Fred R. Moore Seen As Significant Symbol In National Political Case Washington, D. C.—Hon. Fred R. Moore, by virtue of his election to the New York City Board of Aldermen from the Harlem 19th Assembly District, becomes a symbol of much significance in the national political equation of 1928, according to veteran political observers and those authoritatively situated here. These persons maintain that Mr. Moore's victory is a tribute to him personally, plus support of white Republicans of his constituency, and that he would have been just as successful at the polls if Mayor Walker had never seen Rome. It was conclusively demonstrated to this writer, that it is the Republican, not the Democratic, party against which theire of the Negro masses increases, and which the Republican leaders well know must be overcome.

My informants pointed out that it was generally known throughout the country that the failure of Negro candidates on the Republican ticket in Harlem has been due largely to the failure of white Republicans in Harlem to support race candidates, and that, having nominated a high type and compete with white Republicans to support him would in all probability mean Negro votes for Governor Smith in the event of New York's Chief Executive getting the democratic nomination for President next year; thus they contend that Mr. Moore is not a beneficiary of Republican exigency, but that the Republican party is a beneficiary of Mr. Moore. Comparing the significance of Mr. Moore's victory with that of Judge Henry in Philadelphia, the authoritatively situated said Mr. Henry was nominated by the Republican organization in an all-Republican constituency; that the main thing in Philadelphia was to move Pennsylvania to rocked G. O. P. while New York now has two democratic I. S. Senators, both dragged into office, on the coasts of Governor Smith, and, therefore, the election of Mr. Moore means more to the Republicans in a national campaign. Lily Whites Active, In South. "Lilah-white's" are intensively active down 'downt'. They want to be rid of both Negro National Committee and all semblance of black leadership or participation in narty affairs and management. Walter Cohen, Negro Surveyor of Customs, New Orleans District, and Republican leader of the state, is at this instant fighting for his political life. It seems that the National Committee, Kegutte, white-"white". He voted with Cohen on enlistment in the meeting, and Republican, When Negroes are outnumbered and outvoted the National Committee probably cannot assist, but the party couldn't afford defeat of a regularly nominated Negro candidate in New York-home of the vice chairman of the National Committee. Negro Masses Are Murmuring. Rumblings of the masses cannot be discernible; and the Negro masses are murmuring against the G. O. P. Agress the Potomac in Arlington County, Virginia, 800 Negroes paid their taxes, qualified registered and voted almost all in mass for the democratic candidates, thus encompassing with their balance of power defeat, of the Republican candidates for State Legislature and county offices. Georgia has 70,000 Negroes qualified to vote; down in Tennessee at Memphis 12,000 Negroes registered in the democratic primary; get rid of an obnobvious matter. And without mentioning the Negro vote in the North and East the authoritatively sifted three say, the signs of the Democratic nominees, G. O. P. Moore the election of Mr. Moore the first sign of Republican comeback in the Empire State, with its too many electoral votes for its democratic governor and its vote得 to add to that so solid block of electoral votes from the southern states.

Mrs. Medora Anderson, Miss DARROW DEFENDS NEGROES AGAINST BAKER'S ATTACK Ex-War Secretary Charges "Organized Ignorance" To Chicago Negroes Clarence Darrow, famous criminal lawyer and agnostic, took sharp issue with Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, in the cabinet of the late President Woodrow Wilson, for having referred to the Negroes of Chicago as the "organized ignorance" of that city. The slur on Chicago Negroes was made by Mr. Baker during the course of an address at Washington University* St. Louis, Mo., on Armistice Day. Mr. Baker's address was an attack on Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago. He said: "In Chicago a flaming demagogue organized the ignorance that city, in the form of 300,000 or 400,000 blacks and took over the municipal government. Darrow, who is now in New York defending two Italian charges with murder in connection with an Anti-Fascist parade, replied to this part of Mr. Bakers's address as follows: "In the first place," said Mr. Darrow, "there are no more than 200,000 Negroes in Chicago. In the second place, if all the Negroes had refused to vote for Thompson, he would still be by force, 400,000 or 400,000." "I like the Negroes," he continued and want to see them get a fair show. Mr. Darrow concluded by explaining that the Negro voters had supported Mayor William E. Dever the year Dever was elected. He said the Negro vote had switched quite properly to Thompson in the last election because of unfair attacks made by those interested in Dever's campaign.

Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent, Atlanta, Ga., the man posing in New York as Clyde Manning is an impostor. A story appeared in the columns of The New York Age of November 12 concerning Manning. The telegram read as follows: "Negro posing in New York as Clyde Manning a fake. Manning died in penitentiary, January 19th, 1927, without being pardoned. Correct your story. You have been imposed on. Impostor should be arrested. B. J. DAVIS" The public is warned against giving said Clyde, Manning any financial assistance. Hibernate banquets staged by the Pullman Co., to which its employees are forced to come, comprise a new method of intimidation of the Noger porter body in an effort to compel them to repudiate the bedridden of Sleeping Car Porters, said A. Philip Randolph, general oragnizer of that body, who made the direct charge that one or two porters have been discharged following banquets in various districts. Mr. Randolph charges that these banquets originated in Washington; that a careful check is kept of those in attendance; that the men are required and forced to sign petitions repudiating the Brotherhood, and that men have been pulled off their lines or charged with intimidating others who did, not, sign the petitions. But according to the general organizer, these petitions have famed the fires of revolt in a number of instances and men have refused outright to sign them. In other cases, signers have voluntarily signed affidavits to the effect that they acted only to protect their jobs. General Organizer Randolph has just returned from a cross-country tour, and he reports that the first time he met a man than ever in paying dues and subscriptions, an dhat: tht Pullman Co. is evidently resorting to intimidation in a last stand to stop the march of the Brotherhood. $300,000 Building Plan For North Carolina College For Negroes Durham, N. C.-A. local white paper the Durham Sun, carried a front-page, two-column article on proposed building program for the local college for Negroes which attracted much attention. It was disclosed in the article that the legislature of North Carolina, in appropriating $200,000 for building purposes at the school, had made the appropriation conditional upon the authorities raising an additional $100,000 from private sources. Dr. Jas. E. Shepard, president, and the trustees of the institution, have made application to the General Education Board for the additional $100,000, and in case their application is not granted, propose carrying their appeal to the general public and to private philanthropists in an effort to raise $100,000. The school has many friends among the white people of North Carolina and in other parts of the country, and Governor-McClean takes a keen personal interest in its welfare. Memphis Church Bombed By Whites Memphis Church Bombed By Whites Memphis, Tenn.-More than a thousand Negro voters were assembled in a church building here on November 9, getting instructions on voting in the municipal election on November 10, when the building was bombed. No one was hurt. Although a man was seen running from the scene just before the blast, and police were guarding the building, no arrest was made. The bombing was the culmination of bitter campaign in which the Negro vote, led by Robert R. Church, was solidly opposing the candidacy of Mayor Paine, and had endorsed the Overton ticket.

Pullman Co. employees, attached to the Penn Terminal District, assembled at Talbs grill room on Monday evening, November 7, for a second "loyalty" meeting, and about sixty old porters were present. A humilious repast was served under direction of Manager L. W. Robinson. The toast master was J. M. Brown, who spoke of the probable replacing of Negro porters with men of other nationalities, and offered the subject of planning to forestall any such management for the sea. A number of the men took part in the discussion, some of the speakers being A. B. Broady, G. E. Smith, A. B. Jackson, T. M. Blanton, welfare Worker, Philadelphia; H. L. Minkey, B. A. Stanton; H. S. Hall and P. A. Sample, investigator. The thought was advanced that such association as is being conducted by the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters might bring to the Pullman porter the same experience as happened to the colored hotel waiters a few years ago. The discussion favored retention of Pullman service, with opening of more avenues of employment for the race, and the Pullman Co. was commended for the employment of a larger group of colored men and women than is being done by any other corporation in "America."

CITY MAGISTRATE GOODMAN EXHIBITS RACE PREJUDICE IN TRYING TRAFFIC CASES Magistrate Henry M. R. Goodman, who was called to sit in traffic cases because he happened to be in the Traffic Court, 300 Mulberry street, to answer a summons on his own account for violation of the parking ordinance, gave vent to his spleen and exhibited his bitter race prejudice by sending five colored automobilists arraigned on a similar charge to jail, four of them without option of a fine. These were the only Negroes appearing out of about fifty cases on the Magistrate, but all of the whites were given small fines or suspended sentences. Then, his own case, heard by Magistrate Macery, having been postponed to November 17, Magistrate Goodman put on his hat and left the building. In the meantime, the seven Negro prisoners were taken to the detention room awaiting removal to the Tombs. The Chief Magistrate learned that the defendants were still, in the building and he immediately ordered them brought back to the court room. Then, sitting with Magistrate Macery, Chief Magistrate McAdoon reopened the cases, tried them over again, and on the pleas of guilty men, AS were tried in each case, and the happy individuals quickly left the judicial precincts.

Lincoln University, Pa.—On 'the evening of December 14, 1927 Lincoln University is to debate the Union British team from London, England. This will be the second international interracial debate to be held in this country. The first was held in Baltimore last year when Lincoln debated with 'the Oxford' team from London. tions. The Chief Magistrate learned that the defendants were still in the building and he immediately ordered them brought back to the court room. Then, sitting with Magistrate Macery, Chief Magistrate McAdoo reopened the cases, tried them over again, and on their pleas of guilty fined each one $5, which was paid in each case, and the happy individuals quickly left the judicial precincts. Chief Magistrate McAdoo found on examination of the trial, and unprepared for sentencing, Magistrate Goldman had also failed to take waivers from the defendants, a procedure required by law when a judge sits alone as in a Court of Special Sessions. This error of law offered an easy way by which the seven victims of Magistrate Goldman's case could be saved. And this advantage was used by the Chief Magistrate. McAdoo Rebukes Goldman. In commenting on the cases, Magistrate McAdoo declared that the fact that the seven Negroes were the defendants was received jail sentences, although there were numerous white men charged with the same offense would tend, in my opinion, to give the impression to them and to all the colored people of New York that there was discrimination against them." He said further: "It was a most unusual series of judgments." I don't remember any magistrate hitherto giving such sentences for parking violations. The peculiar little before and might never occur again. The four autoists who were given jail sentences without option of a fine were John Robinson, 8 West 13th street; Albert Barrett, 210 Bennett avenue, the Bronx; Ernest Williams, 4 West 13th street; Sue Schmidt, 10 West 13th street. "The other three were Amro Morgan, Walter Murray, and Margaret Jones. Goodman Indignant In the matter of his own case, Magistrate Goodman was wrathy because a policeman had come to his house the night before to serve the summons which had been signed by Chief Magistrate McAdoo complaint of Patrolman Julius Kolmsky of Traffic Squad F that the car had been parked for four hours in front of 228 West 42nd street. Arranged before Magistrate Mercury, Magistrate Goodman said that "he was complained of he had loaned his car to a friend and made an indignant complaint because the policeman came to his house with the summons. Later, in an attempt to justify his decisions, Magistrate Goodman has issued a formal statement, in which he denies that he had bias against the defeatsants because of their race, and proceeded to lay blame upon them by saying that "they were particularly flagrant violators of the regulation and that they had definitely used the streets for parking and garage purposes." He then admitted ignorance of the law by saying that all of us the policemen were error because the loser first forcibly took the police-regulations is $S$, and that is not generally known to magistrates." He then tries to explain this ignorance by saying: "I must be remembered that the new procedure of taking these cases has only been in effect for two weeks. Most of the magistrates did not know as to the minimum fine. Critics of Magistrate Goodman declare that his confession of ignorance marks him as clearly unfit for performance of duties assigned to his office. Publication in the daily papers that U. S. Thompson, whose wife was the late Florence Mills, had applied for letters of administration on his dead wife's estate, gave the information that he had set the value of her personal estate as just $33,146.38.

Special arrangements may be made for Club Meetings and Card Clubs. Rooms can be selected to suit the event. This immediately gave rise to all sorts of speculation, because it had been understood that Miss Mills was one of the highest paid artists on the stage, and that at least during the lengthy period of her European playing she was paid not less than $2,000 weekly. And that before going to Europe her weekly salary approached four figures. Report Stirred Interest. So that the announced paucity of her-estate stirred curious interest and a good bit of wondering comment, for it had been assumed that Miss Mills was leaving an estate that would total fairly high up in six figures. As a matter of fact, according to well-authenticated information which has come to The Age, there is nothing to be wondered at or to be explained. It is well known that Miss Mills and her husband, Mr. Thompson, have been working together since the days of the old "Tennessee Ten," and those who have enjoyed intimate contact with they say that they have always seen frugal in manner of living, saving even, from the small salaries paid in those days, and pooling their savings. Paid $42,000 For House. The apartment house at 220 West third street, in which they maintained a home, was purchased at a cost of about $42,000, and, it is reported, was free and clear of all indebtedness before the European tour was undertaken. Other real estate holdings will total as much or more in value, it is believed. There is a report printed in one of the daily papers to the effect that while in Europe Miss Mills sent her mother, Mrs. Wintrefy, $40,000, and gives $150,000 as a conservative estimate of the real value of her holdings. It is believed that the realty holdings were either in her husband or mother's names, or were some holdings, most probably the former. Of course, there is no question as to the amount of Mr. Thompson's personal estate, but it is a reasonable supposition that he has some of his earnings safely put away. It cost exactly $5,827.50 to bury the late Florence Mills. This information was made public by Ralph E. Mizelle of 200 Broadway, attorney for the decedent's estate. The statement as to expenses of funeral disposes of the report that $10,000 was paid for the casket in which the popular artiste was buried. Acocrding to Counsellor Mizelle no real estate was left by Miss Mills, but she was worth $33,146.38 in actual cash. Plans Go Forward For Flo Mills Memorial The third meeting of the Florence Mills Memorial Fund was held at the Lafayette Theatre, Monday, midnight, November 14. The financial committee, which is in temporary control, pending permanent election of officers, was ratified by the house. It consists of Earl Dancer, chairman; W. C. Handy, Clarence Williams, Bob Slater and Jesse Shipp. The purpose of the organization is to create a fund to purchase a home for disabled and indigent actors, to keep alive the memory of the late Florence Mills. The home will bear the departed actress' name. It is also planned to place a suitable monument on the grave of the dead star. Later in the week a meeting of the committee is to be held to perfect final plans for organization. These will then be reported back to the members at another meeting at the Lafayette. Help the Red Cross! were: Charles S. Glenn, Bob Sawyer, Will Marion Cook, Hubert Harrison, Jimmy, Marshall, Earl Dancer, Lew Leslie, Jesse Shipp. The committee reported that already a total in pledges and cash of $2,334 has been received. A series of midnight shows to raise funds has been planned for the Lafayette, the Alhambra and the Lincoln Theatres, Saturday November 26. Headliners from the Keith/Albee Circuit, and from numerous Broadway successes, are to take part. Among those already signifying their intention are Eddie! Cantor, Belle Baker, Vincent Lopez, and "Ukelele Ike" Edwards. The same bill will be presented at each theatres. Earl. Dancer was chairman of the meeting: Jesse Shipp, sice. chairman. About four hundred performers were present. At the conclusion of the meeting there seemed to be practically a unanimous agreement. Shaw University Notes Raleigh, N.

Various diseases which have a high mortality always display danger signs before they strike, so that if one takes advantage of the warnings he really need never be seriously ill. Tuberculosis, called "the most terrible disease in the world," does not sneak up behind a person and clutch him in an unguarded moment, as is often supposed. On the contrary, its symptoms are definite and easily recognizable. So much so, that if the person went to a good doctor, or to a tuberculosis clinic when his suspicions were first aroused, the disease could be prevented. Yet one person out of fifty breaks down with tuberculosis, and if instead of getting medical advice, he permitted himself to walk around with his "cold" he could easily infect the other forty-nine. It is a timely thought to consider the ravages of tuberculosis now, for this is the month during which millions of the little Christmas seals, as bright and cheerful as the spirit of the season, are sold by the National Tuberculosis Association and its 1,500 affiliated associations to aid the in wiping out tuberculosis in this country, and in educating the people regarding its symptoms and treatment. The experience of the tuberculosis associations during more than two decades has confirmed them in the belief that there is absolutely no excuse for the prevalence of this preventable disease. If everyone in the United States made up his mind to do what he could to prevent it, tuberculosis would soon be wiped out. During 1928 these affiliated state and local tuberculosis associations will undertake, as part of their work—a campaign to induce everyone who has the slightest suspicion or symptoms of tuberculosis to have an examination immediately. For the benefit of all, the associations announce that the following symptoms are the "Danger Signs" of beginning tuberculosis: If you have any of these signs—especially a combination of any of don't take a chance. Let your doctor decide. No chronic disease is more easily arrested than tuberculosis if it is discovered in time. The above "danger signs" are the earliest that are most commonly noted. Proper treatment at home or in a sanitarium will restore health in early tuberculosis in 85 per cent of the cases. If you want further information, write or call on your nearest tuberculosis or public health association. Information can be had for the asking. Their services are supported by the annual sale of Christmas seals. Newberry, S. C. Newberry, S. C.-The annual conference of the A. M. E. denomination convened in Spartanburg, S. C.

Delaney's Hard Work. The uncovering of the scheme and the preparation for trial of this very important case in so complete and mathematically perfect a manner as to compel pleas of guilt by all defendants was due entirely to the efforts of the following men. United States Attorney Charles H. Tuttle, Assistant United States, Attorneys, Carl E. Newton and Huhert T. Delany, who worked night and day on the case, and Former Senator Abraham Kaplan and Former Special Deputy Attorney General Samuel A. Berger, who are counsel for the New York Board of Fire Underwriters, Fire Marshal Brophy and Special Agent James Lynch of the Customs Service also assisted in preparation of the case. Mr. Delany is the new Negro assistant to Mr. Tuttle and this was his first assignment. Greek Headed Conspiracy. The head and front of the conspiracy was Socrates Moscahlades, a wealthy Greek importer who was sentenced to 8 years in Atlanta prison and received a fine of $7500. Moscahlades put in a claim of over $150,000. The other defendants were Geo. A. Spirou, a tobacco and skin importer who was sentenced to 6 years in Atlanta prison; Joseph Kwit, supposedly a silk merchant, but in reality a procurer of fire bugs, was sentenced to 6 years on his plea of guilty; Charles Carmen, a tailor and exconvict was given 5 years as the man who, lit the torch and spread the gasolate: Simon Zwiebach, also a fur merchant was given 2 years.

Mr. Tuttle replied, "I," of course, appreciate deeply what your honor says but I think I should say in justice that while it has fallen upon me to play the part of spokesman, and therefore in that sense to be conspicuous, the active work in this matter has been done by Mr. Carl Newton and by my other assistant, Mr. Delaney.

In viewing the results of the local election last week, there were several feares that are deserving of more than usual consideration. One of these was a election of alderman in the Nineteenth district of Manhattan, where R. Moore was elected by a substantial majority in a district that had gone democratic for the past four years. The section of Mr. Moore marked a three-fold victory. First, it showed that a candidate who represented moral issues could be elected in a metropolitan district. Second, it demonstrated that nine voters would readily vote for a agro candidate possessing character and mess for office. Third, it showed that agro voters could be relied upon to we unfinching support to a candidate in the race who has earned their confidence and respect. It is seldom that an election for a local office, such as alderman, brings out such despread interest and comment as are manifested in Mr. Moore's campaign. People in all parts of the country vote expressing their interest in his indulacy and offering their encouragement and moral support. While this was very gratifying and contributed to stain the morale of the campaign, the five work of making a canvass and titting out the vote devolved on the resents of the Nineteenth district. It was air votes that counted in the final reelection. And their response was clear and mistakable in its tenor. The cynical belief that moral issues are not popular among sophisticated new Yorkers was shattered. The fear some doubters, that the candidate's w upon bootleggers and numbers gamers, conducted through The Age, would like him lose votes among those who tronize both of these forbidden pursuits, were not realized, to any perceptive extent. The result proved that the majority of the community is in favor decency and law, and will support a candidate who fights openly in such a use. Mr. Moore's action in showing himself the white voters of the district and ining a comparison between the issues which he represented and those of his consent, resulted in his gaining a large number of votes in that section. It ved beyond question, if proof was necessary, that intelligent voters can make choice between two candidates on the is of party principles and character, respective of such minor details as race color. This gratifying fact was clear-brought out in a letter written by as Sarah Schuyler Butler, vice chair of the Republican State Committee, which she said: "We are all very hap at the news of your election to the ard of Aldermen and I am particular-delighted that the Thirteenth Assem- district gave you such loyal and deed support." the racial aspect of the election was wn in the fact that party lines were ed out to a large extent in the de- of the colored voters to cast a ballot Mr. Moore. Many of those who had allied and voted with the local Democ- them and their children. Such a test- their appreciation of his efforts to ce. Harlem a better place to live in them an dtheir children. Such a test- nial rarely comes to any man in his time. he fact. that Mr. Moore was taken tenely ill at the close of his arduous paign, due to his persistent work in pressing his personality and his platy upon the voters, made this a fitting ortunity for the writer to indicate briefly the three-fold nature of his priv. His campaign was of such a re as to raise the standard of localics in the district. With the anticid recovery of his health and resump of his normal activities, he may be lean district leader, held in September Robert S. Conklin, white, was easily elected over Charles W. B. Mitchell, colored. The Negro needs to be more assertive and more aggressive in his politics. He complains that there is nothing in it for him, but one reason for that is that he fails to take that which is within in his grasp. He lacks the will, or the tact, to combine to win, to subordinate his personal ambitions or prejudices to the greater good of the racial group. He is not peculiar in this respect, although at his present stage of development his shortcomings score more heavily against him than in the case of other groups with like aspirations. The political apathy that was so marked among the Negro voters of Harlem was by no means confined to that group. It was characteristic of the whole voting population and reached its depths among the Republicans of Brooklyn, who lost their entire ticket, with the exception of one Assemblyman in the Seventeenth district. When it is remembered that Kings county was at one time a Republican stronghold under the leadership of Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff and Michael J. Dady, the loss of votes is significant: The main reason for this debacle, as the papers termed it, was ascribed to lack of enlightened and progressive leadership. It was charged that the present leaders were more concerned with holding their fat Federal of city jobs and finding soft places for their favorites, than in stimulating the party workers and getting out the voters. Republicans generally and Negro voters specifically appear to be the victims of the inroads of General Apathy. Unless he is routed within the next twelve months the electoral vote of New York State is apt to be counted in the Democratic column. JAIL FOR PARKING CARS. It seems that another jail crime has been added to the calendar in New York City. Parking automobiles on prohibited streets has been made a violation of police regulations, punishable with jail sentences of from two to three days. Among the first offenders to incur the loss of their liberty for this infraction of traffic laws were seven Negroes, who were haled before Magistrate Henry M. R. Goodman in the Traffic Court. Curiously enough four of these were the only ones to whom the Magistrate meted out jail sentences, while the other three faced jail in default of fines. In the meantime a patrolman presented a complaint of illegal parking against Magistrate Godman himself, which came before Chief Magistrate William McAdoo. Hearing of Magistrate Goodman's severity in the cases of the seven Negroes, the Chief Magistrate reopened their cases and let them off with a fine of five dollars each. After explaining the agreement with the police, which permits jail sentences for parking, Chief Magistrate McAdoo said: "It seems to be the consensus of opinion imprisonment for parking has never hitherto been inflicted by any Magistrate, and therefore it looks to be an unusual disposition of a case. There may be cases where a prison sentence for parking, especially against repeaters and defiant offenders, would not be unjust. I suppose the human factor ought to be taken into consideration." We have no color line in these courts. "I find that these cases were to have been tried by the Magistrate sitting as a Court of Special Sessions, but he did not take the waivers. He treated the cases honestly, but in a legal sense mistakenly. As a magistrate he had entire jurisdiction without regard to the Court of Special Sessions. "It appears to me that they were improperly arraigned, or rather the cases were improperly disposed of as by the Magistrate himself and not as a court of Special Sessions, and therefore it would be legal and proper for me to re-arraign them now, as in open court, here, and take their waivers and then dispose of the cases as new ones." This prompt action by the Chief Magistrate was evidently due to his sense of justice and to prevent the appearance of the drawing of any color line in the courts. It may have been an unfortunate coincidence that the first offenders upon whom Magistrate Goodman decided to inflict prison sentence happened to be colored. The fact that these seven Negroes were the only defendants in court, who received jail terms, although there were numerous white men charged with the same offense, would give the impression that there was discrimination against them. The action by Chief Magistrate McAdoo was timely and salutary in its effect. SULZER'S HARLEM RIVER PARK. An item in the real estate columns of the daily papers last week announced the sale of a parcel of land on the east side of Second avenue, running from 126th to 127th street, to one of the great film corporations. The real estate editor of the New York World' gave an interest- A VOTE FOR MOB LAW. The voters of Isle of Wight County in Virginia, at the election for county officers last week, virtually declared themselves in favor of mob law and lynching. They defeated for re-election the sheriff and commonwealth attorney who had insisted on enforcing the law and keeping their oaths of office. These officials were renominated by large majorities in a Democratic primary last August: Opposition to their re-election did not arise until about four weeks before the election, the cause for which was their action in the case of a demented Negro, who was accused of attacking and killing a white girl. A mob of whites sought to seize the accused man, who it appeared had been declared insane, but was not considered dangerous and was left at large because the state had no room for him in an insane asylum. To prevent a lynching the sheriff too, his prisoner away to Petersburg, where he was held for trial. The commonwealth attorney was also opposed because he stood with the sheriff for the orderly processes of the law. A mass meeting of white citizens protested against the manner in which these officials had acted and named candidates to oppose them, who were elected by small majorities. The action of these Virginians who registered their preference for mob murder over legal punishment for crime illustrated the difficulty of eradicating lynch law in the South. That a majority of any civilized community could go to the polls and deliberately oppose two officials who had saved that community from committing murder is a reflection upon the teachings of both church and state. What possible way is there to awaken such a people to the enormity of their offence against the laws of God and the laws of man? The only redeeming feature of the situation was the fact that there appeared to be a considerable proportion of the voters who supported the officials standing for law and order. The sheriff who frustrated the mob was defeated by over a hundred votes, while the commonwealth attorney lost by only twenty seven votes. Their successful opponents must realize that their tenure of office depends on recognizing the mob as their master. This group of Virginia voters must be jealous of the infamy achieved by a neighboring South Carolina community, which lynched a woman and two men a year ago. APATHY AMONG VOTERS. The outstanding feature of the political campaign just ended seemed to many acute observers to be the lack of interest in the election among the voters. As Lester A. Walton pointed out in the Sunday World just previous to election, this scant interest in issues and candidates was particularly marked among the Negro voters of Harlem. While one exasperated citizen complained that four out of five possible voters had failed to register, Mr. Walton maintained that the ratio among the race voters in Harlem was even greater. Out of 120,000 eligible voters he asserted that the number registered did not exceed 22,000. The causes for this indifference to the privilege of voting are not easy to determine. The majority of the Negroes who fail to vote literally disfranchise themselves. This is especially the case with the newcomers from the South, who complain of disfranchisement as one of the causes for their leaving that section, but fall to cast a vote when, there is nothing to prevent it. Then the greater number of the West. Indian population, although firmly established as permanent members of the community, refrain from becoming naturalized and exercising the voting rights of citizenship. One reason assigned for this is that as British citizens they are assured of greater personal security, including immunity from mob law and lynching. Fanciful as this may sound, it must be borne in mind that Great Britain has the reputation of protecting her citizens at home and abroad, regardless of their color. As an illustration of the temper of Negro voters, Mr. Walton pointed to the Twenty-first Assembly district, where there are 115 county committeemen, sixty-eight colored and forty-seven AT THE TOP!

"The Last Gesture" (From The Nation, New York City) Policemen in' automobiles to keep the crowds in order, 57,000 people To Florence Mills! By ROY GRAY Up, from the sidewalks, Dancing day and night, Bursting forth with music, Came a Little Brown Spirte, We shalt hail thee, sweet "Black bird" Your hearth, filled with mirth, Scattered smiles and sunshine O'er the sad old earth. Your strains cheered the forlorn, Whose souls were depressed, High royalty were thrilled And madly impressed. Farewelul, little "Blackbird" We miss your sweet song As in heaven, with the angels Your chants are begun. came to view the body which lay in state for four days, $100,000 worth of flowers—one piece rumored to have come from the Prince of Wales—breathless crowd stands all day in a cold November wind, crowding the church, fainting, moaning, crying—these were the dramatic periods that marked the funeral of a dancer and comedienne; this was the last gesture to Florence Mills by the members of two races, but chiefly of her own. Nor, would we be begrudge her one flower; o.e. tear; she made thousands of people laugh; she could sing in a weird, wild way; she could dance Most of all she was herself, and being herself she joined that small group of persons whose genius rests on their personality. That she was a Negro made it harder at first for her to get a hearing outside her own race and after she once got started it made things easier for her. She was unique, and therefore wonderful. I inevitably she opened a path for other Negro performers: she did not need to present her race with laughter—they had it already; she presented an alien race with a strange new kind of laughter, she made them like it, and they will demand it again and again. ( ' _____ 0 _____ HEALTH IS HERE By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association The Care Of The Ears The authors of a well-known book on the treatment and prevention of deafness, "Ears and the Man," say "a large percentage of childhood deafness may be averted; very nearly all who now, in their maturity, carry this handicap, need never have Such a program demands money, an increasing number of specialists capable of creative work, very modern publishing plant and efficient methods of distribution. On the other hand, such a program would mean an informed and alert church, employment of a large number of our brilliant people, and increased revenue through sales of publications and through contributions of an informed and inspired church. If religious education is to be effective, it demands all the advantages of modern methods. The church should heartily support such a venture along new lines. Writings as: "The Observer" in the Des Moines Distender, Charles P. Howard indulged in the following supposition: There are four Negroes in this country high in Republican political circles, Bob Church of Memphis, Tenn., Ben Davis of Atlanta, Ga., Walter Cohen of New Orleans, La., and Perry Howard of Mississippi; Davis and Howard are members of the Republican National Committee. Church is independently, wealthy, Cohen is collector of customs at New Orleans. These four Negroes control seventy-six votes in the Republican National Convention. The nomination in this convention is any man's nomination. Seventy-six votes is no batch of votes to be ignored. These four Negroes with their private prejudices and ambitions shoved to the background should prepare a program and sell it to the highest bidder. The white man does that and calls it patriotism. This program should include first, the addition of a Negro to the President' Cabinet, the complete elimination of segregation in the government offices at Washington, unequivocal Republican support of a Federal Anti-Lynching Bill, abolishment of the disfranchisement of millions of Negroes in the South, Republican patronage to black Republican voters all over the United States, the employment of Negroes in the consular service where they prove themselves competent, and the opening of West Point and Annapolis to Negro boys. This is a large order and even the optimistic "Observer" concluded: "But why suppose; this white man is too smart to let any four Negroes agree." Asking the question, "Do we want a colored policeman?" a writer in the Hartford Observer made the following pungent observations: The Police Department is nothing more than a big political machine. Witness the "butter and egg" case of a few years back when certain officers, and even men higher up were accused of carrying home "butter and eggs" from a warehouse across from the police station. How soon that was hushed up. Politics, nothing more or less. So if we want a colored man on the force he must get there by the same route that those of known its burdens.' Much deatness is acquired that is it is not congenial, but comes as a result of cataract condition and injections of the nose and throat which accompany contagious diseases or it may be due to some injury to the ear. A great deal of the suturing and bamugp, caused by deatness may be prevented by protecting children from the contagious disease of childhood and by giving them careful attention, during and after an attack of these disease. Diphrima, scaplet fever and measles are frequently accompanied or followed, by ear impairments. Parents should protect their children, from these diseases if possible. Have them immunized against gliphterin and keep them from large indoor crowds, especially when epidemics prevail. Keep them in good physical condition by establishing good health habits. If your children to become ill be sure to give them good care. They should be kept in bed until the doctor says they are able to get up. Do whatever your physician advises for them during the sickness and watch them carefully for some time afterward. If the sickness is followed by urinary ears, consult your physician regarding treatment and proper care. Do not hesitate to have adenoids and tonsils removed, if they are diseased or enlarged, and the doctor advises the operation.

It would seem that the one or one responsible for the success or failure of Mr. Gildo did not follow his case as they should have done. Otherwise he would not have failed. In the meantime, a word of commendation is in order for the officers of the Isle of Wight County, whose actions following their arrest of the accused man, beyond question prevented a lynching with its consequent disgrace upon the county and State. Though probably of small comfort in the face of the overwhelming criticism and the threat toust them from office which are being directed at them by the citizens of their country, it being not quite clear, we admit, however, from what angle of the case these criticisms and threats are provoked, we cheerfully and inhesitately recommend these officers for medals awarded by the Interracial Commission for courage on the part of county officers averting a lynching. They have spared the citizens of Isle of Wight a shame that would have ignominiously marked them before their fellow Virginians, but if these citizens insist that plain derotion to duty exhibited by Sheriff W. H. Chapman and Commonwealth Attorney George F. Whitley in affording the accused the protection of the law shall be punishable by political retaliation, they will have nevertheless, in their moment of passion, invoked upon themselves a stigma of which we believe the majority of that county will later be ashamed. This commendation of local officials for upholding the law is deserved. The fact that public sentiment failed to sustain them in doing their duty is a reflection on the community. According to a news article in the Boston Chronicle, the Mapledale Country Club at Stow is saved. It continued: Through the brokerage and real estate firm of C. Hilton Greene, 808 Tremont Street; the first mortgage of more than $150,000 was taken over Wednesday by Mr. P. L. Corbin, well known Negro financier of Boston and New York. Actuated by the desire, says Mr. Greene, to save worthwhile Negro businesses and institutions from financial rocks, Mr. Corbin, hearing of the needs of Mapledale Club, a most creditable undertaking among Negroes in New England, went to the rescue readily, on the solicitations of Mr. Greene and other friends of the Club. By Mr. Corbin's action, the threat of foreclosure by the white mortgage holders, apparently in order to gain possession of the much desired property has been removed. Now that Negroes hold all the mortgages there is little chance for the place to be lost. In this instance it is pointed out what Negro real estate brokers and Negroes 'who have money lying idle in banks can do by cooperation when the interests of Negro business men is at stake. The establishment and operation of country clubs has so far proved a hazardous experiment because, of the lack of a firm economic basis of support. With all around business development that will probably be forthcoming. The Carolina Times, published at Durham, N. C., drew the following picture of "A Sad Posterity," based upon a baby clinic held at a local hospital: Instead of seeing a lot of healthy, robust, youngsters, to our surprise they were for the most part undernourished, underfed, underweight, babies. The sight was pitable. Something must be done. The race cannot hope to hold its place in the onward march of civilization from such material as we saw at the baby clinic at Lincoln Hospital. At first we wish to thank the white doctor whose heart has been touched by the need of our joles His effort shows that he possesses a fine and noble character. The sad part about it, however, is that some physician of our own race does not have the pride in future development to maintain these clinics. Most of the babies' care from homes, whose mothers, are ignorant of the necessary treatment, and care that a child should have for its development. Many of them besides not knowing, are handicapped by not being able, financially, the care for their children. The editor also drew a serious indictment of those "women or the race who are too busy, who are too high toned to become mothers". If we are to accept this indictment, race suicide is rife in Durham. The regular. Sunday, September 13 was well attended by a large crowd of friends and visitors. The day being somewhat of a spring day many ventured out. Though a little owl it was pleasant. Those who attended were well pleased with the two sermons by the pastor. The five minutes sermon by the pastor portrayed beautifully the life of son of America's colored artist, the late Florence Mills. In his diary he pointed out how this singing and dancing girl of Washington, overcome the many obstacles patronizing the many colored Negro artists of today, and how she won the hearts of people all over the world in art. The children baptised were Miss Lorea Louise Marshall, Edward and Edith Lee parents, Misses Dorothy Adel and Mamie Floyd Lee, daughter of John L. and Florence Lee.

The subject, "Purification, Sanctification," Heretekiah began to reign when he was, five and twenty years old, and reigned nine and twenty years. And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. (v 1.) He said, hear me, he levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers and carry forth the fithiness out of the holy place." (v 5.) And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek, his God; he did it all his heart, and proposed." (31: 21) In the introduction of his message, Pastor Lawson gave a wonderful description of the value of a young life; and the great need—and use of the young in the church, and work of the Lord. It is exemplified he said, in the life of Jesus, Paul, Timothy, David and Hezekiah, taking up of 25 years of age. And even of today said Eld. Lawson, the young people are to be the future church, therefore, cultivate their intellect and emotion God ward by giving them a place in the ranks of function in the service of God. He then launched out in the fullness of his message brief but powerful, expaining and emphasizing the dedication and sanctification of the house, and people of God that Hezekiah ordered by the word of the Lord. The being a blessed type said Pastor Lawson of the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy God, which the new birth of water and Spirit brings to the believer, Remains 6:3, 4. Not the circumcision and cleansing of the flesh, as was required of the Law, but a better sacrifice and a mighter High-Priest who is made, not after the Law of a carnal commitment, but after the power of an antiles life. Yeah even Jesus Christ in whom also we circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, putting off the body of the anus to the flesh by the circumcision of Christ Buried with Him in baptism wherein also we are risen with Him through the operation of God, who has raised Him from the dead." Col 2:11-13. Tasher Lawson said, man cannot earn himself, he can dedicate himself, give up it to God, but the deceased process or operation of the Spirit, the pouring of the holy oil, comes from the Lord. God must do this certifying. Notice that Hezekiah proposed because what ever of the service of the Lord he did; he did it with all his heart. The same is required of of the Christian now. After Greo, Chance 'preached' at them, and they were so impressed 'And when the devil fell, ended all the temptations, he departed from him, for a season." Satan had assailed the Saviour, in every point of His human nature. He proceeds from the temptation addressed to the natural appetites, brought that of ambition, to the more refuses and subtle one of pride. Moses overcame and conquered him, and so he believes also, overcome, by the word of God and the Holy Spirit. If we take heed to the word and be a doe of it, it will save our son. No temptation is so great that the Lord cannot deliver you. He, the Lord is a ucceror of them that are tempted. Union Baptist Church ; The work' at Union is progressing rapidly.

Lefferts place and Grand avenue At the 11 a.m. clock service, Sunday, Pastor Robert preached from the following text: "For through Him, we both have access by one, spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more stragglers and foreigners, but fellow citizens, with the saints, and fellow household of God, with the saints, and 2:18, Our Lord the Emanuel governing the seat of our emotions makes us spiritual-divine beings." Pastor Bolden said: Both our Lord Jesus Christ the Empower, the author and giver of everlasting life and St Paul, who is called the apostle to the Gentiles, the greatest of all the Apostles, understood the three aspects, through which his energy, is manifested. And for convenience we will say that human nature and the spiritual nature and the things which take place in these realms, were intitled and the action and reaction of the spiritual nature and the person was known by them. We do not intend to say, or impress you to think of believe that the great Apostle Paul possessed the eternal consciousness of the whole scheme and result of the reality, power and meaning of these kingdoms of thought existences such as our Lord the Emmanuel did. For our Lord, the word that became flesh and dwell among us. He is, the Father, God the Almighty, the creator of these realms and all things which were, is and is to come. The great Apostle is an illumined soul; a spiritual enlightened mind, and a fumed personality, a resurrection and ascended bodily life. Christ our Lord the Emmanuel Therefore what he said to believers of our Lord at the beginning of the gospel dispensation may be regarded as a basis for giving direction and inspiration to believers, up through the age. The commissions that that are studying the conditions that produce what as called, the "crime waves", Suicide waves, mental insane waves, erotic waves", have discover that these are beyond the pale of reason. And they are generated in the realm of the emotions. We believe this to be an eternal truth though modern scientific researchers are just discovering it as a great factor in human experience. The love of God or our love of others finds its expression in his spiritual emotions, and dynamic vibrations. These and more were resident in our Lord Jesus the Emmanuel. And he proclaimed the greatest universal divine and social law of all time, when he said, "love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and your neighbor as yourself." The fullness of this emotion is demonstrated in human society the truth of Paul's statement, "for through Him, we both have access by one spirit unto the Father, and more ye are no more stranger, and more ye are with the saims and of the household of God," will usher in the kingdom of God among men. A state and a condition where love will find its highest expression in service to each and to all regardless to race, class, creed or color, indeed if there will be any apparent exceptions to the rule of interest and sympathy it will be toward the least- and the most nedy. thastend of heredity, physical or mental, or undesirable environments restraining one from realizing their high hopes and aspirations, their high power and the assistance and encouragement that comes through fellowship, and communicating with Saints makes them the masters over the forces in the realm of the natural moral, and spiritual worlds." At 2 p. m., the Sunday school convened. Mrs. Bessie Robinson, assisted by Master Joseph Cantwell conducting the opening exercises.

Gumbs, presiding elder of the Brooklyn District of the New York Annual Conference, made a strong plea at the morning service for men, and women to see Christ as the Soh of God and realize that He came and died for a divine purpose, that we may inherit eternal life. He spoke from the text, St. Matthew 4:21. His topic was "Where is Zebedee?" It was the second quarterly meeting of the conference year and also communion Sunday, standing room was at a premium. Dr. Gumbs emphasized the point that sacred history is silly as to Zebedee following Christ despite the fact that his two sons did so. Many in day hear the call of Christ but like Zebedee are so busy, or otherwise engaged that we will not head the call. While there is nothing wrong in being busy at some task in life we should not be so busy, as to be willing to follow Jesus. The dooms of the church: were opened, and nine persons united with the church. The communion was administered by the pastor, Dr. Tyler. tered by the pastor, Dr. Tyler. At the evening services the. Rev. Nathaniel H. Jeltz, sineing evangelist delivered a sermon that was interrupted with soul appealing songs. His topic was "The More Abundant Life." He stated that Christ's great mission was to bring man spiritual light in intelligence and by having this light he will, learn how to have spiritual life and that more, abundantly. He staggered the thought that men must have light or reason and then we can learn the value of spiritual life. One person joined the church. Mrs. Jeltz was introduced to the audience. She travels with her husband, and has assisted him in over 200, revivals. The members are preparing to give baskets on Thanksgiving Day to the needy of the church.

The team this year has made the record in the history of Lin- athletics. each Morrison, in entering upon duties as mentor at Lincoln, found little in the way of first class as material. Most of the old who have helped to bring fame glory to Lincoln's football team been graduated, and those who left over from last year were very well seasoned. The propos- which the coach has had this has been to revamp the old mat- and develop a squad of promis- but inexperienced raw material.

But just prior to the Tuskegee-colon game three of the alum, Dr. G. Alexander, graduate manager, C-P.

Enthusiasm manifested, in the ring and cheering was spontaneous and contagious, and the whole body pledged itself to stand and the team, and re-affirmed its virtue to the slogan "Win or I stand for Lincoln". aspiring speeches were made by the three alumni members, the key members of the faculty, representatives from each class, the gain of the team and several individual members of the team. This recognition of spirit was very evident the Tuskegee game, for although colin was defeated, there was aifestation of fighting spirit that not lag throughout the game, and game fight was evidenced in the at Virginia game. and it is thoroughly understood no matter what may take place the scraps between Lincoln and our teams it is another story whencoln meets Howard, Lincoln is always seem to feel that theyHoward's goat and they go into Classic with a feeling of confid- which can only be overcome by superior team.

C:—Before a large crowd, Atlanta, University, defeated Howard last Saturday by a score of 6-0 to 1. The score tells a large-part of the story. In the first half, neither side scored, but the edge was with Atlanta throughout the contest. When Atlanta drove the ball in the first half to Howards one yard line, Howard held like a great buttress. In the second half, Howard tried repeatedly but in vain to penetrate Atlanta's line. In the third quarter a long run of forty-yards by Maise of Atlanta placed the ball on Howard's four-yard line and then two more punches put it over for the only touchdown of the game. Atlanta gave up twenty-five yards total in penalties; Howard lost forty-five. Atlanta made three jumbles; Howard one. Atlanta made 10 first downs; Howard made 11. Wm. Clay R. T. Harris Edwards Q. B.

Victory Over Hampton BY JAMES B. CLARKE Mountain Institute, Va. - The A. & T. Bulldog Aggies grabbed two chances to score in the first and third quarters of a hard fought struggle on Armstrong Field on Saturday, November 12, and beat the strong Hampton Blue and White team to the tune of 13-0. In the first two minutes of play A. and T.'s center, Patterson, broke through the line and blocked King's punt. Coles, A. and T.'s left tackle, dropped on the ball behind the goal line for the first touchdown, while Coleman made a placement for the extra point. The touchdown, was made in such a short space of time that the spectators hardly realized what had happened. The second touchdown was made in the same way. This time Patterson, the Aggies center, slipped through the line and blocked King's punt, and Miller, A. and T.'s star guard, covered the ball behind the line of score. The second touchdown came just about three minutes after the third quarter had begun. The A. and T.'s Aggies changed their tactics, somewhat and resorted to the air game. They were, however, successful in only a few of their attempts: There was very little bucking by Lane and Coleman. Only a few times did they drive through the line for substantial gains. The most consistent gainers in the backfield were Coleman and Lane. On the line there was Miller, the All-C I A' A guard, and Capt. Hester, and Patterson the tall bulky center. Both teams had lines of about of about equal strength. The tackling-was hard and fast. The A; and T. ends were usually swift in running down punts and getting down the field on passes. - Patterson, A. and T.'s center, was the man that caused the touchdowns. Hampton's Blue and White team did not swing and move in the same manner as it did in other games of the season. It was a long, time before they could get started and when they did the Aggies were in on them. Bulldog Williams in the backfield and Beau Guest were the consistent ground gainers. On the line there was William Lee, Big Fellow Robinson, George Davis, and Gates that showed up well. Answer Red Cross Roll Call!

Adelaide Hall Delights In "Dance Mania" At The Lafayette Theatre A new star has appeared in the theatrical firmament in the person of Miss Adelaide Hall, who is heading the cast in "Dance Mania", now at the Lafayette Theatre. She is proving more-popular than any actress that has appeared at this theatre in many months. She can dance and sing and strum on a uke to one's unbounded delight. At Monday's matinee Miss Hall was a veritable ript. Miss Hall is a local girl, born in Brooklyn some twenty-two years ago. She is a graduate of Girls High School and Pratt Institute; Brooklyn. Her stage work began in 1922 as a member of the chorus of "Shuffle Along." She next ap- Annual Benefit C Renaissance Casino, 13 Monday Evening, No peared in a principal role in "Runnin' Wild" and also appeared at the Everglades Night Club for one year. She toured "the" principal cities of Europe in "Chocolate Kiddies" and on her return went on a tour of motion picture theatres in the West, from which she has just returned. "Dance, Mania" is the work of Clarence Robinson, who is fast developing into one of the ablest young producers in the East. "Dance Mania" is his best offering. The comedy, is provided by Joyner and Foster, one of the bigtime vaudeville acts. "Go-Get-Em" Rogers and John"Vigin" also furnish several good comedy bits. There is a chorus of twelve of the best trained and best looking girls in the business, and then there is Duke Ellington's famous band, not to mention Lena Wilson, famous blues singer and several other well known performers. The photo-play attraction for the balance of the week is "The Prince of Headwaiters", starring Lewis There will also be the first issue of Negro News, a news reel-devoted exclusively to the activities of colored folk throughout the world. "The Way of All Flesh" At The Lincoln Theatre "The masterpiece of the motion picture maker's art. An epic of the life of a common man that combines the delicacy of a Rembrandt, the sweep of a Velasquez, the power of a Wagner and the dramatic touch of a Victor Hugo." These are the words spoken in praise of "The Way of All Flesh" the picture reaching the Lincoln Theatre Thursday, which is among the ten greatest pictures ever made. Critics have declared that the thing most impressive about "The Way of All Flesh" is its humanness, its dramatic simplicity and the vividness of its central character as played by the man who made "The Last Laugh" and "Variety" what they were: Jannings himself considers it the finest effort of his life. Support worthy of his talents was given him by Paramount Famous Lasky, Belle Bennett, the wife, heads the featured cast. Miss Bennett's "Stella Dallas" is one of the screen's never-to-be-forgotten characters. Another who gave up her starring rights for the Jannings picture is Phyllis Haver, considered by many the most beautiful blonde in America. Others in the cast, are of equal importance and ability notably Donald Keith and Fred Kohler. The picture was directed by Victor Fleming, who made "The Rough Riders" "Mantrap" and many other box office winners. Subscribe to The New York Age and get a Dictionary free. A DRAMATIC MASTERPIECE!

Frank Schiffman, managing director of the Lafayette Theatre, after witnessing a pre view of this picture expressed himself as being highly pleased with it and contracted immediately to play it. In the past Mr. Schiffman, has been exacting and has refused to play several. Negro pictures that in his estimation did not measure up. Mr. Micheaux was particularly pleased over the fact that Mr. Schiffman likes the picture.

A program of honor plays from the Tragic TIM MOORE is back Eddie Hunter is here Clare Campbell, International Soubrette, Amanda Randolph, Whitwind VESPER QUARTET, BOSTON, COMES TO NEW YORK, AND SINGS EFFECTIVELY, CONTRALTO OF UNUSUAL MERIT IS HEARD The Vesper Quarter of New England was in New York on Tuesday evening, November 8—Election Day night—and it was something of a task to pull away from the jubilating incidents connected with the fine victims won that day at the polls by the editor of The New York Age, Alderman-elect Fred R. Moore, but the job was accomplished in time to getower to St. James Presbyterian Church, at St. Nicholas avenue and 414th street for the opening number. The only singer of the group with whom the reviewer had any personal acquaintance was the soprano, Amy Bailey, who, some years ago, was a temporary resident in New York and filled the position of soprano soloist on the Mc. Olivet Church chorus down in 53rd street. Always a charming and accomplished artist, her work in this recital displayed real development, maturity of power with retention of brilliance and sparkle. She sang "Wildmung" (Franz), "Adieux, de Manon" (Mzsenset), and the "Shadow Song" from Meyerbeer's opera, "Dinorah." The work of the quartet was excellent, though a bit uneven at times. Notwithstanding that each singer is a soloist of some distinction, there was a merging of individual pretension in most passages that contributed much to the pleasure of the listeners. In the "Viking Song" by Samuel Colidge Taylor, the quartet won favor, and this was accentuated by its singing of Hall Johnson's "Sinking down" and "Soldier of the Cross" arranged by Charity Bailey. Two other Spirituals, arranged by Hall Johnson, were programmed—"I've been butked" and "Bear your burden," and to these, were added "Rain down fire" by J. Rosanond Johnson. Heayil "The blind man stood on the road" and "Praesching the Word." Their final number was a group from Liza Lehmann's "In a Persian Garden." Edward Carter, harbition, offered Bohm's "Calm as the night" and Lehmann's "Myself when young" from "In a Persian Garden" cycle as his solo numbers, and the ten manager and Charles Henry Sang "Sei nur still" (French) Santo nel core" (Scariatti), and the Handel aria, "Whener you walk," both giving a fair measure of enjoyment. For more about Dorothy Richardson, contralto; to bring shivers of surprised appreciation to the audience. "Unhalreded, at least so far as this reviewer is concerned, she displayed a voice of even depth and strength, with wonderful tonal color, ample control, unusual symmetry in its warring registers, and with dramatic fire and force. Coupled with this unusual vocal equipment was a personality that charmed and intrigued, and a temperamental outpouring that won instantly the hearts, eager interest. There had been outcroppings in the work of the quartet wherein the listener was aware that the contralto was vital flame in the ensemble singing, but her splendid aristy prevented its undue accentuation. In the solo numbers, there was opportunity for giving full away to natural power and inclination and the audience was the gainer thereby. Coldly, calmly, fully aware of the great contralto of today, this reviewer is willing to put himself on record as being of the opinion that Dorothy Richardson is one of the greatest it has been his pleasure to hear in many a day. And he is anxiously awaiting an opportunity of hearing her in a full-sized recital of her own believing that the result will fully justify the opinion formed from hearing her sing four numbers "Trauner," by Wagner "Amour,iens aider," by Saint-Saena, "Hills" by Frank La Forge, and "Swing low, sweet chariot" (this last an added number and the Burleigh arrangement, if I am not mistaken). One of the surprises of the evening was the appearance of the Rev. Mr. William Lloyd Lives, pastor of St. James Church, in the role of accompanist. He performed his adapus task with credit, indicating that with personality that follows familiarity with the work he might easily win to distinction. A fair-sized audience, heard the recital and gave the quartet an enthusiastic and appreciative reception. Marguerite Avery, Dramatic Soprano, On Tour Marguerite Avery, dramatic soprano, pupil of Harry Williams, and one of the winners in the Fontana operatic song contest of a couple of seasons back, is on a southern concert tour, meeting with great success. On Friday evening, November 4, she was presented by the Atlanta Spelman Graduates' Club at Spelman College, with Miss Irene Dobbs, a piano pupil of Kemper Harrell, director of music at Morehouse College, as accompanist. Her program included songs by Secci Horn, Purcell, Verdi Schuher, Brahms, Thomas, Coleridge Taylor, Watts, Cadman, LaForge, with spirituals arranged by Hall Johnson, Burleigh and Lawrence Brown. "He who is pleniously provided for from within needs but little from without, are the words of Gethseme, and because we believe, them, to heartily we try to provide our Y. W. G. girls; with as many sources of strength and enjoyment within themselves as it is possible for us to do. Life is hard for many young folks now a days. The economic pressure is so great in a city like New York, and particularly among our own group, that a girl must concentrate too much of her time and her strength upon work before she has ever had time to explore the joys of the mind and of the spirit. She often leaves school almost before she has begun want to help, to enjoy some of her time, to live of life while she must work. We try to do in many ways there are too many to mention here but one of the things we covet greatly, for her is an understanding- and appreciation of music. This year as last a Music Appreciation Course is being offered by the Education and Club Department in cooperation for the girls of the Branch. On Thursday November 10, the first lecture, recital took, place and it was delightful, beyond words. The evening was given over for the part to Negro music, and the Fisk Jubilee 'Singers' sang, gloriously for us. They sang Spirituals, with one exception one, notable exception the 121st Psalm, set to music by Frank La Forge for the use of the Fisk singers. The singers resumed generously to the enthusiasm. of the audience and gave many delightful numbers, David L. Collins sang two 1600 numbers, preceding his renditions with a spoken interpretations for the audience. Mrs. James Myers H. O'Bannon and Carl Barbour also gave short and interesting explanations of the source and meaning of 60 Spirituals. Other members of the group were E. Matthews and John Whittaker Miss Jenkins, Qington was the pianist for the concert, most killfully and charmingly, a group of two numbers of Dett and Percy Grainger, and responding generously with a third at the insistence of the audience. Teh business girls of Harlem came en masse and there were secretaries from the other Branches from the National Board and from the Beaux-Arts Club. A. C. Proud Fou followed the music and refreshments were served. "The Fisk Singer are hard pressed for time. It is not, easy for; them to respond, to such a request as ours and we, are deeply grateful, to them for coming to us and to their manager for making it possible. In the account of the funeral services field over the body of the late Florence Mills (Mrs. U. S. Thompson), the race's distinguished stage-star, it was stated that Dr. Melville Charlton of Brooklyn was the organist. This was in accordance with prior announcements.

ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS *By PERCIVAL OUTRAM* Florence Milla is dead Honored by royalty, cairs of the theatrical profession, promoters, promptwrights, actors, who "admitted his love for the audience not hesitated to state and show their appreciation and recognition of her talent and character, even though she be- longed not to their race. Has any one of the race been so signally honored in death before? We plead, ignorance if the answer is yes. Triumphant even in death! Let others take example of her life. The knocks, the hardships, the dis- appointments—but? the purpose, the objective, the arriving on, the determination, the attalnment—then, death at 32. Many a musician has made a living through Miss Milla here and abroad, and they, with other cele- briaries and the "high brows", and "common people," will long remember Florence Mills.

Of course the orchestra and the actors got their week's salary. Rang Tong, played the Ford Theatre. John Hayward, violinist, recently asserted his characteristic attitude when, on being told by Puggleys, the pianist and leader of the Lincoln Theatre orchestra, that his services would not be required after two weeks, by informing Puggleys that he did not require any notice but would leave as once, John had received his notice in the afternoon, and the told Puggleys to get the man, who would fill his shoes by night-time, and it would be an irrelevant to him (Haywood). The leader did so, but John, to prevent any ulterior trouble with local 802—made the leader sign, and he himself signed, a copy of the agreement. None of us like to stay where we are not wanted, but John, why not protect your rights? You know you were commelled to get two weeks notice. Why not accept, the Union rules? Again, John, don't you think it was poor business to cast $0. In the sewer? But this was purely personal and affected no one but yourself, so we bow to your treatment of the case. Sebastian Adams, saxophone player, is sick in Harlem Hospital. The hospital is within easy reach of most musicians. Visit Adams, boys.

Deacon Johnson, is contemplating the acquiring of a beautiful house on St. Nicholas avenue, to beasted, as a central point, is furnishing music to patrons, etc. The premiers were formerly used as a club house by a white bicycle club which has left the vicinity. The interior of the house bespeaks culture and refinement, and is in a good state of preservation. The Deacon Johnson idea is a good and progressive idea, which will mean a big step, forward for colored musicians if they will only think and act. As yet plans are not fully matured. Men are needed assist in the enterprise, musicians who will be interested in musicians who will confer and help establish this "Temple of Music." No musician is too small, we hope none will think himself too big, to take part in this enterprise. Far vision is to lacking in most of us, but it is this quality which spells success to any race.

Chicago is the scene this week of a large gathering of Negro employees of the Pullman Porters Dueshif Association of America, which is holding its annual grand association meeting and second biennial session. It is only at hospital sessions that amendments to the existing constitution of the association are considered Excluding the executive officers, who are elected by the board of directors of the organization, these representatives are delegates who have been elected by the members of the association in the various Pullman zones, which include every district and agency in the country in which Pullman cars are operated. The sessions of the meeting began on Tuesday, November 15, and, as is customary at these yearly meets, the opening was marked by a flood of encomiums from the officers and delegates. The association, its officers, its members and last, but not least, the Pullman Company, were all extolled for the past they have played in making the organization the success it is today. And it cannot be said that one drop of this torrent of praise was rained on uninterested heads; if the progress of the Association in the last seven years is taken as an augury. Seven years ago, a group of Pullman employees, mostly porters, met at Chicago as officers and delegates of the original Pullman Porters Benefit Association, which had been operated on lines similar to those of the Pullman Conductors Relief Association, the members of which paid no monthly or quarterly dues, but were assessed a stipulated tax on the death of a member. The porters' assessment was fifty cents, to which the Pullman Company contributed twenty-five, making a payment of 75 cents per member to the deceased beneficiary. At the beginning, this plan of benefit was hailed by the porters with enthusiastic acclaim. They had observed in which many of their fellow workers had died without leaving enough money to pay the following month's rent for their family, much less the expenses of burial. And finally these instances were emphasized by some one, mostly of惩able character, acting as collector for contributions for these expenses. A relief agency for such cases was just what was needed, the porters declared. For the first few months, the association went along quite satisfactorily. But as the death rate of the members began mounting and assessments became more frequent, rumblings of dissatisfaction began to be heard. Membership in the organization began falling off. The younger members began saying that the association was only good for old men. A year later, the association was in a precarious condition; something had to be done if it was to survive. It was as this period in its existence that the officers and delegates of the first P. P. R. A. meet at Chicago seven years ago. Space will not permit a receipt of all that took place at that meeting, and how the Pullman Porter's Benefit Association was changed to an organization which not only gives sick and death benefits today, but has other features of relief that may be used by its members. And the officers, with one or two exceptions, were the same men now serving in executive capacities with the association. On November 20, 1920, the new constitution of the organization was adopted and its title changed to the Pullman Porter's Benefit Association of America, the same becoming effective on February 1, 1921. The part the Pullman Company plays in the affairs of this body is, according to the word of a man of excellent repute, who was at that meeting, the part that the officers of the organization prevailed upon the management to assume. These officers realized that if the company did not use its influence with the porters, that the Association would have the same trouble as the old organization declared this ins would have the same trouble as the old organization, declared this informant. The tollman was asked by the writer if the Pullman management was in favor of the plan at the time? "No," said he, "it wasn't. It was only after much insistence on the part of the officers of the association that the management agreed that the Pullman Company would assume the duties of collector and trustee for the organization." This belief was then reminded that many of the members are possessed with wisdom that the paternalism of the company in the spending of the organization's funds is born of something more profitable to itself than any reaction it might gain in gratitude from the members. Eithermore, he was asked, why, in some districts, it is said that the officials are malignant that the porters become members, since it is a porter's organization? In reply to the foregoing assertion and question, he said: "There are two things from which most porters suffer regarding the affairs of this organisation: One is ignorance in financial matters; the other, misinformation. So far as the trusteeship of the moneys of the P. P. B.A. is concerned, the Pullman Company is morally as well as legally accountable for the handling of this money. It is responsible for the collection of the association's dues, and by the same token it is responsible for the manner in which these collections are spent. Then, too, where the Justice would the company be if it had one system in the spending of its own moneys, but followed another in the spending of the porters' money. Those members, and even those outsiders who are always criticising the way in which the porters association funds are guarded, are persons who are either callous or ignorant of the responsibility attached to the handling of other folks money. "Now with reference to the interest with which some officials assume in having their porters become members of the organization, I do not know so much about this activity; I can only speak for my own district (New York). (No official in this district compels a porter to become a member. But from what I can observe in the habits of some porters, making them become "jiners" would be a blessing in disguise. However, I am not in favor of the system of compulsion. But no one had better approach me for a contribution for some porter who might have become a member but wouldn't. I believe that, from a historical standpoint, the P. P. B. A., under the guardianship of the Pullihan Company, is the most outstanding achievement that the porters, as a body, have been able to accomplish so far. The foregoing opinions, of course, are not shared by all the members of the association, but it might be ventured that the majority of them possess these sentiments regarding the safety of the organization's moneys. And if there is any disposition on the part of anyone to know the reasons why the association, its members, its officers and its trustee were objects of such generous praise at the present sessions of the P. P. B. A. of A., these facts and the following may help to enlighten him. From a membership of 3,350 in 1921, the last available report of the association shows a membership of 9,997. Its Treasury for October gives a balance on hand of $206,561,15, of which $150,000,00, a Reserve Fund, is invested in U. S. Treasury Bonds and Notes. The fact that these figures are, given here should give substance to the statement that the P. P. B. A. of A. is what the officers declare it to be—For the benefit of Negro employees of the Pullihan service, with nothing to conceal.
