PAWNBROKER ROTH SENT TO SING SING DESPITE PLEAS OF JUDGE ABRAMS AND OTHERS Bankers and Merchants Flood Judge Donnellan's Mail With Pleas; Det. Sergt. Battle Praised Herbert Roth, 27, son of Joseph Roth, who operated a chain of pawn shops in Harlem, one at 308 Lenox avenue and another at Lenox avenue and 135th street, was sent to Sing Sing after being convicted of receiving stolen goods by Judge George L. Donnellan, sitting in the Court of General Sessions, on Thursday, January 5. He must serve from one to two years. Lynching Record For 1927 Shows Sixteen Negroes Victims Of Mobs In refusing leniency to young Roth, Judge 'Donnelan incidentally gave a stern rebuke to Municipal Court Judge Lewis Abrams. When Roth was arraigned for giving a stern rebuke to Abrams with him and made plea to Judge Donnelan for leniency, declaring that he had known yours Roth for years and could vouch for his honesty and integrity. But Judge 'Donnelan refused, telling Judge Abrams specifically: "I am unable to agree with you regarding Roth's honesty. I am not a severe judge and when I sentence a man to prison I am satisfied he is guilty. My impression is that the coloured girl who sentenced 'this man' was the only thief that brought stolen property to him." Pronouncing Sentence Then, in sentencing Roth, Judge Donnellan said he was convinced that Roth's method of conducting business was for the purpose of encouraging thieves. Said he: "You cleverly altered the books on your concern to cover entries of thefts that threaten the police and the rightful owners of the property. I do not think your case is deserving of any clemency and, I am imposing a prison sentence as a deterrent to other rookie 'pawnbrokers' in this city who conduct their business as you conducted yours. And his father were arrested olive in 1926, after Olive Keneen, a colored girl, had been arrested charged with stealing $1,500 worth of jewelry from Mrs. J. Timlakeberk of 319 West 94th street, her employer. The girl confessed and testified that the pawned her tool with Roth in his pawnshop 108尔尔巷, avenue he concealed he had held that would conceal the transaction on his books. Second Indictment Secured. The first indictment was dismissed for lack of evidence, but District Attorney Banton secured a second indictment. Then, on June 6, 1927, Roy Roth entered a plea of guilty, but declared that his father was innocent of complicity. The District Attorney accepted this plea, and Roth was held in $5,000 bail pending sentence. And then he forgot the most important detail: he gave Roth from a prison sentence. Two big New York banks, the Chatham-Phoenix National Bank and Trust Co. and the State Bank appealed for further delay in sentencing Roth that they might be able to collect $120,000 he owed them. The State Bank wanted $70,000 and the Chatham-Phoenix Bank claimed $50,000 in addition, there were scores of letters to judge Donnelan by bankers, merchants and other friends of the Roth family, to be climaxed at the final moment by the personal plea and avowment by Judge Abrams. Credit to Det. Sert. Battle. Credit for the arrest and conviction of Roth is due to the spleen. Now,standing that in thirty-four southern and eight northern states officers of the law prevented lynchings, there were seven southern states in which sixteen persons, all Negroes, were lynched during 1922, according to the annual summary passed by Dr Robert R. Motton Professor of the Department of Records and Research of Tuskegee Institute. Sixy eight persons, fifteen white and fifty-three Negroes, were thus saved from mob vengeance, and in eightteen cases officers of the law armed force to repel the lynchers, twenty-four cases the prisoners were wounded by stationary measures, such as augmenting the guard, were taken by sheriffs. But of the sixteen lynchings dur- did work of Detective Sergeant J. Battle, who worked day and night, for months to secure the evidence that finally brought to pass the unnatural spectacle of a perpetrator sentenced for receiving stolen goods. Farin in 1929 Detective Sergeant Battle went into Roth's pawnshop looking for stolen property, and met with a chilly-reception being refused permission to make a search. Exercising his knowledge of the search made with the discovery of more than $3,000 worth of unaccounted jewelry. He, Sergeant Battle, took the matter to the District Attorney, who placed it before a grand jury, and both Roths were indicted in cases were called in January, 1927, before Judge William Allen, former Democratic leader of the 19th A. D., in which Roth's pawnshops were located but they were dismissed for what the judge termed a lack of evidence. The child was discouraged, but went to work, secured additional evidence, and a re-indictment followed. This case was called on May 31, with Judge Donnellan on the bench, and after the state's witnesses had all testified, the judge plead guilty, exonerating his father, this action being taken on June 16.

Y., SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1928 Harlem Bootblacks Up In Arms Against Old Blue Law Recently Invoked To Close Shine Parlors The bootblack trade in uptown New York is in a chaotic condition as a result of the enforcement of an old law which has caused the closing of all shoe shine parlors throughout the city on Sundays. This law has not only worked a hardship on the bootblacks themselves but it has also proved very uppular with the public. According to the Police Department, enforcement is brought about through Section 101 of the Penal Code which prohibits all shoes the sabath exceeding that which is an absolute necessity and which is done for charity." An Old Law Invoked. A prominent church denomination is said to have combed the statutes recently for laws that would check the spread of Sunday school in the parish section, which mentioned several trades specifically, and demanded police enforcement. It was pointed out that many shoeshine parors contained shoe repairing aid and cleaning departments and that in the Sunday december, a man was done in Sunday's as well as in the shoeshining department: H. Augustus, who conducts a news stand and shoe shine parlor at 100 West 138th street, corner of Lemos avenue, says that the law for shoeshining the city before enforcement was started in Harlem. Enforcement in this section of the city came only after bootbucks in other sections' protested against their being forced to close and that shoeshine parors in Harlem were allowed to remain open on Sundays. Income Reduced One-Third. Jimmie Jackson, the chief bootbuck in the parlour at 2353 Seventh avenue, adjoining the Renaissance Theatre, states that his income and that of most others in his trade has been cut almost a third since this law was enforced some five weeks ago. The average weekday wages of a bootbuck is less than and below $20 and on Sundays, they made at least five dollars, he says. According to Dominick Nigro and brother, who conduct the oldest bootbuck establishment in Harlem on West 135th street, opposite the Chelsea Exchange Bank, there has been no noticeable increase in weekday business since White and Black Thugs Escape After Hold-Up Is Thwarted By Police Harry Moore, West 100th street station, one of the youngest detectives in the department, prevented a holdup Friday morning by a white bandit and two Negroes accomplices at a pawn shop at West 102nd street and Columbus office. During the thief the police office and the white thief shot it out in close range, but the three holdup men escaped. Moore was on his way to the station when he saw the white bandit and the two Negroes acting suspiciously. He saw the white man go into the pawnshop of Max Bruder, 800 Columbus avenue. The Negroes remained outside as lookouts. The detective decided to investigate and started to enter the store closely following the unit. The bandit and the police officer had sought to draw their revolvers and then grappled with each other. They fought their way to the street and a crowd quickly gathered. They dispersed rapidly however when they saw the holdup man draw his revolver. Grabbing the gun of the bandit, the detective forced it upward and when the gun went BIT it struck the bandit. In the meantime one of the detectives the detective struck the detective over the head with stunning him. The detective let loose his hold on the white man and all three bandits ran away. Attracted by the shot, Patrolman Stark ran to the scene and joined the other police officer. But the bandits, leaving a trail of blood behind them, escaped. A police net of fifty detectives and uniformed neon of the 100th street station and neighboring stations surrounded the territory but failed to find the bandits. A balloon血灯 led the policemen through the street and several cellars and out into the street, again where it abruptly stopped. A woman told detectives that she had seen wounded man get into a taxicab where the trail of blood ended. The Negroes had assisted their accomplice to escape, and then had fled themselves. his shoesheine parlor has been closed Sundays. Most working people do.not wear the same shoes Sundays that they wear during the week about keeping their shoes clean during the week as they are on Sundays, he states. Because of this fact, the law works a greater relationship to the meetings of the cliq where the 'work class life' in other sections. Dafied Law. Fined $10. Two Italian bootbacks at 145th street and Eighth avenue defended the law two Sundays ago and were hailed into court the next Monday. One was so indignant at being arrested, he denounced the United States and declared that this court was going to prison. He was $10 and warned that if he was brought up on the same charge again, he would be given a prison sentence. Now he is talking of going back to work as a laborer in the building trades. One result of the resentment against this law has been to bring the members of this trade together. A union was recently formed in the Bronx and from latest reports it is enrolling members by the hundreds. The oragnizers have promised that a bill will be introduced in this session of the Legislature to either repeal, the law or to amend it so that the court will open at least half day. Sundays. Most such legislation as the repeal or amendment of this law would not only he desirabe from the bootback's point of view but from that of the public as well. CHINESE PORTERS A CHALLENGE TO ORGANIZED LABOR Randolph Sees Threat To Decent Living In Act Of Pullman Co. According to a news release sent out by the Associated Press on December 28, 1927, twelve young Chinese were introduced as club car porters on crack trains of the Northwestern Union Pacific Railroad. If true, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car porters, according to General Organizer A. Philip Randolph, regards it as not only a challenge to faithful Pullman porters but to organized labor as well. According to Randolph, the introduction of unorganized oriental laborers into American industries is a threat to American standards of health and decent living. According to the American standard of living of organized wage earners to the low level of unorganized oriental laborers. Trying Intimidation "It is another threat," says Randolph, "for the purpose of intimidating porters who are flocking to the porters' union." The Negro Pullman porter is psychologically equipped as a result of long association with the American-travelling public that he is supposed to practise with. Other group of women in the handling the travelling public in the Pullman service. "This gesture of the Company in placing a few Chinese on club cars will no, more stop the porters from joining the union than did the placing of a few Filipinos on the club cars when the union began to prevent porters from joining the union," says Randolph. Organizer Randolph contends that the orientals are physically unqualified to work in clubs and there are not sufficient numbers available for them, and besides that the organized American labor movement will stand resolutely against the introduction of unorganized orientals into American industries. Another A. P. release, under date of December 30, quotes the Pullman Co. vice-president as saying that it is not the company's intention to put Chinese and Filipinos on their cars in place of Negroes, who was pointed out as the porters are largely those of a maiter while the Pullman porter handles luggage and has other tasks requiring a stouter plussy.

DEATH AND KIDNAPPING ARE THREATENED PASTOR-ELECT OF BEREAN CHURCH, B'KLYN The Rev. D. W. Hoggard of Plainfield Given Cordial Welcome Sunday By People But Got Threat By Mail The Rev. D. W. Hoggard of Plainfield, N. J., spent Sunday, January 8, with the congregation of Berean Baptist Church, Bergen street, near Rochester avenue, Brooklyn, which church recently extended him a call to his pastorate by a vote of 88 to 87 as against the candidacy of the Rev. C. L. Franklin, at that time assistant pastor of Concord Baptist Church. The acceptance of the call has been held in obeyance by the Plainfield minister, which developed what appeared to be an element of antagonism to the church choice on part of some of the members who supported Franklin's candidacy. And this has been accentuated by several sinister threats which have reached Rev. Hoggard by mail and by phone, in which not only was his own physical well-being treated, but the safety of his children placed in apparent jeopardy. Death, Kidnapping Threats. One of the letters received by the minister here a message which declared: "THE DAY YOU STEP INTO BEREAN CHURCH AS PASTOR WILL BE THE DAY YOU STEP INTO HELL." Others of a similar nature were received, but so far as is known the prescriber was not particularly affected by their contents. But the matter took on a different atmosphere when Mrs. Hoggard was called on the phone and told that if her husband accepted the Brooklyn charge his threateners might not be able to get to him, but they would revenge themselves by kidnapping one of his young children. Mrs. Hoggard, it is reported was deeply affected by this threat and as a result there is still done as to whether or not her husband will take the charge. On the other hand, the church and the prescriber it is stated on good authority, have practically reached an agreement. The former pastor, the Rev. Mr. Matthews was paid $180 a month, furnishing his own residence. HOOVER ENLARGES FLOOD COMMITTEE IN NEW PROGRAM Negro Workers To Equal Whites; Biased Woman Moved In Louisiana HOOVER ENLARGES FLOOD COMMITTEE IN NEW PROGRAM Negro Workers To Equal Whites; Biased Woman Moved In Louisiana Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-Ala. Upon the recommendations of the Colored Advisory Commission on rehabilitation in the food district, Secretary Herbert Hoover has outlined in a letter to Dr. Robert R. Moton, chairman of the Commission, a new program for relief work which provides for the appointment of one colored worker for each worker in the service of the Red Cross to that race, be equally represented. The program was effective January 1. Dr. J. S. Clark, president of Southern University, Baton Rouge, La.; L. M. McCoy, president of Rust College, Holly Springs, Miss; H. and C. H.ray, Extension Service state agent for Arkansas, all of whom are members of the Commission, have been appointed assistant reconstruction officers to represent their relief work among Negroes in cooperation with the Red Cross workers. These, with their salfs, will be employed until April 1 to look after the needs of the colored flood sufferers, helping them to get necessary provisions, clothing and shelter, seed and livestock, and advising them, in matters of planting and other agricultural problems, they will see and be involved in the repair or damaged or damaged are rebuilt or repaired in a satisfactory manner, either with local contractors or those brought in for the purpose. "In order that there can be no mistake or failure in this situation," Secretary Hoover writes, "I have suggested that Messrs. Ray, McCoy and Clark, comprise a committee, advisory to the Red Cross, and that each of them shall strengthen his staff of colored assistants to a number equal to the National Red Cross and advisory to different countries that these assistants undertake at once to complete a survey of entire situation bringing every case of failure or neglect to the Red Cross representative who will at once investigate andmd remedy." For a second time in less than a month Secretary Hoover has taken definite action in compliance with the recommendations of the Advisory Commissions, the first being the removal of Miss Cordelia Townend, Red Cross worker at Melville, La. who was charged with discrimination against and neglect of colored people in relief work. Secretary Hoover, Dr. Mori stateens, "We are very much gratified by this evidence your consistently wise and patriotic service. Inspire of a few local lakes, the Red Cross has rendered a wonderful service to the 444,000 Negro flood sufferers. Others of a similar nature were received, but so far as is known the preacher was not particularly affected by their contents. But the matter took on a different atmosphere when Mrs. Hoggard was called on the plains and sold old linens attributable to the Brooklyn charge his threaternents might not be able to get to him, but they would revenge themselves by kidnapping one of this young children. Mrs. Hoggard, it is reported was deeply affected by this threat and as a result there is still doubt as to whether or not her husband will take the charge. On the other hand, the children and the preacher it is stated that bonded and practically reached an agreement. The former pastor, the Rev. Mr. Matthews was paid $180 a month, furnishing his own residence. Reneb Salary Agreement. "But the pastor-elect has stipulated for a salary of $200/with parsonage furnished, and additional emoluments in the form of an anniversary offering, a service and the collections taken at the Christmas. Watch Night and Easter special services, the whole totalling usually a goodly sum. There were a number in the congregation who demurred at these financial requirements, but the minister's advice with understanding that he would assume the pastorate within ninety days. At the services last Sunday Rev Hoggard was greeted with warm welcome by large congregations morning and night, and in the afternoon, when he baptised the Lord of the Temple, he was appointed the city, as well as ministers of other denominators are said in he practically unanimous in their desire to have Rev Hoggard come to Brooklyn. And another report is that members of the congregation have volunteered to go to Mr Hoggard field and meet Mr Hoggard that every possible protection will be afforded her family and every safeguard taken to prevent the carrying out of any of the sinister threats which have been made. The candidacy and defeat of the Rev. Franklin has had some unpleasant after developments. When in the way she the election was held, Mr. Franklin tendered his resignation as assistant pastor at Concord, this action following upon publication in The Age of a report that his dismissal was intended, regardless of result of the church election. Scored Brother Minister. It has been freely rumpled around Brooklyn that there was lieu to be an element of disloyalty in Rev. Franklin's attitude toward the chief pastor, the Rev J. B Adams, and that at least one other minister was held by Dr. Adams to be abetting Franklin in his actions. This culminated a few Sundays ago, it is reported that the pastor was held by Paster Adams, from his pulpit, denounced by name one of his brother pastors. And this public calling down, it is further reported, resulted in the minister referred to calling Pastor Adam, on the phone and indulging in such feud and torture that Dr. Adams to hung up the phone. But it is believed the breach between the two ministers has been peacefully sented through the intermediation of other preachers. In the meantime, with Rev. Hogard reported to be undecided about leaving Plainfield because he had been preaching at the Church, Dr. Thomas S. Harten, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church, preached a strong sermon, depreciating the fact that church people would resort to intimidating by such means, and at the same time calling attention to the fact that in Brooklyn similar conditions resulted in the deaths were not to be considered adly. It is believed, however, that Rev. Hogard will eventually accept the call. Chicago, Ill.—The hasty exoneration by a coroner's jury of Harry Helperin, a white druggist, of 558 East 49th street, for the brutal killing of 16-year-old Negro lad, James Preyor, on Tuesday morning. December 27, has been set aside by the State's Attorney and the case will be taken to the grand jury. At the inquest on December 30 in the Cook County Morgue, Halpern testified that the boy had attempted to hold him up and that he had never seen the boy before. The boy's father, Frank Preyer of 678 Wine Strett, Detroit, was not satisfied and enlisted the services of James Martin, exalted ruler of Fort Dearborne Lodge, J. B. P. O. E. of W.; to make investigation. Martin communicated with Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson in Washington, and the latter put in a long distance call to S'A Brusseaux, chief of the Keystone Nationla Detective Agency, ordering him to investigate the theft. He was harried that the lad had gone to the store to buy hair, pomade and that Halperin had had a previous quarrel with him during last May. This was told by Miss Emma Hughes of 5720 Michigan avenue, a former employee in Halperin's store. It was also brought out that Halperin is a man of violent temper, and had tried to kill another colored boy last July, and that his character was such that the entire neighborhood was bitter toward him. The Civil Liberty's Commission of the Ellis Land Lodge is directing the investigation, through the grand exalted ruler's order, and Harold Tyler, representing the N. A. A. C. P., is assisting The State Attorney's office is summoning witnessing to appear before the grand jury preliminary to asking a warrant for murder against Halperin New Bern, N. C.-The plaster walls of the Craven county jail will be renovated unless decision is made to listen to the pleas of certain interested citizens not to touch the walls in order to preserve penil drawings made there recently by a talented Negro prisoner. That the walls are in dire need of attention is agreed. If they are fixed, however, the mural drawings must necessarily vanish. These sketches have been attracting much favorable comment and a number of persons have visited the jail to examine. Willie Hill, young Negro, who spent some time recently in the jail, decorated the walls with varied pencil drawings. His only tenil was a lead penil. The results are undoubtedly astonishing, showing evident untrained talent of a high order. Hill was sentenced during the hall to two years in the state penitentiary. He was found guilty of highway robbery, having taken a sum of money from a blind man in New Bern. He is now serving his term in Raleigh. It may be that his talents can be utilized for illustrations or cartoons in the editor's prison newspaper. Drawings On Walls There are numerous drawings left by Hill on the local jail walls. There is an excellent cartoon of large. Other sketches include a large steamboat with many details, a big black manmy, an old man, a young woman and a bathing girl. The masterpiece drawn by Hill on the walls of the jail represents a glimpse of Heaven and Hell. It covers a corner of the bastille, about two yards wide and a yard high. Upon viewing it recently, a man stated that he would be glad to offer him work at $25 a week upon his release from the penitentiary. The picture apparently shows the trend of the prisoner's thoughts before his trial. Evidently he regretted his wrongdoing. He was probably trying also to aid his fellow prisoners, all of who are much interested in the sketch. At the top of the drawing Heaven is represented. A building something like a church stands there effectively, with numerous crosses. The Angel Garibiel is at one side, with a trumpet, speaking "Time Shall Be No More." The heavy gates to Heaven are locked securely. The Saviour is in the center of the picture, with a halo around his head, beckoning to all to come to him. A Picture of Hell At the bottom, of the sketch is hell. Furnace doors are marked "Hot." The devil with pitchfork, tall and horns, is at hand to keep the scene hot and uncomfortable and to lure unwary persons. "The Gates of Hell" stand open. From a crossroads or starting point at the far left of the scene run two roads, one leading up to Heaven, the other down to hell. The first is straight and narrow Brawley Refuses Second Prize!

On the way to heaven is a penitent convict, who is praying aloud, "Oh, may I get There." The road to hell is wide, curving and full of pitfalls and attractions. On the way to hell is depicted first a preacher, who is reading from the Bible, "You must believe." Farther along is a man praying, "Oh, Lord, Save Me." A drunkard is next portrayed with his bottle, "To late," the lost man murmurs to himself in the drawing. At his side a wiry serpent raises its head from the side of the road, with its insinuating temptation, "You Have Plenty Time." Outside hell are various vices represented, as dice, cards, masks, pistols, blackjacks and liquor. Women's Stop-Lynching Club To Hear J. Finley Wilson and Cong.

Bolucei in ice dealer, of $6.65 at the point of a revolver, Saturday afternoon, January 7 Bolucei was making his rounds collecting for ice sold during the week, when he entered the apartment house at 2 West 134th street and met Frazier in the dark hallway. Frazier thrust a 32 calibre revolver into Bolucei's stomach demanded that he stick up his hands, making a hollow the cash the Italian had in his pocket defended to know where the ice dealer kept his other money. Protesting that he had no other cash, the victim was ordered to go back to the street and make no outcry. Just as Pollock got to the sidewalk, he saw Patrolman Williams at the corner of Fifth avenue. He ran up to the policeman and told him he had been held up and that the man was in the hallway at 2 West 134th street. He also warned the officer that the robber was armed: As Williams entered the building Frazier attempted to run past the officer and escape. The policeman tackled him and the two men rolled to the floor in the hallway. Frazier attempted to get his gun out but the policeman held his right hand and used his own right to good effect on Frazier's face, finally overpowering him. After disarming Frazier, Williams searched him and found the $6.65 the ice dealer had lost. The money was marked in the presence of several witnesses. When arranged Sunday morning, Frazier confessed to the crime and is being held in the tombs to await sentence. Patrolman Williams was recently cited by the Police Commissioner for risking his life on another occasion to disarm a criminal.

Special arrangements may be made for Club Meetings and Card Clubs. Rooms can be selected to suit the event. Information may be secured from Since the publication of this article several cases of prejudice within the race—of American born Negroes against West Indians, and of West Indians against Americans—have come to light. The most recent example of this kind of prejudice in the fraternal circles of Harlem is contained in charges made by A. McDonald Hill, of 2376 Seventh avenue against the Manhattan Lodge, Knights of Deltas. An Active Pythian. Mr. hill, who is a brother of Attorney James P. fill and active in several fraternal and civic organizations, has been vice chancellor commander of the Crispus Attacks Lodge, No. 2, K. of I. of Boston, Mass. He also organized the first Mechanics Lodge in the State of Massachusetts and the only Free Gardners Lodge in the Bay State. When he applied for a transfer, or reinstalment, to the Knights of Pythias in New York, through Manhattan Lodge, he alleges that he was informed that "We don't take West Indians in our 'lodge.'" The man who proposed this name is said to have told him that "The only thing that may pass you is the fact that you have been a citizen so long and a Pythian before." When his name was presented to a bishop it was noted that that he was "blackbailed" because of his foreign birth. A strong letter of protest was written the lodge by Mr. Ihill who said among other things A Nefarious Practice. For black people to exclude other black people from organizations merely on account of geographical location of the place of their birth is ignorance. Every black person of intelligence should do everything possible to stamp out this nefarious practice which belongs to the darker ages. "Probably you are not aware of the fact that in President Coolidge's Cabinet is a foreign born; and last man we sent from this state to represent us in the United States Senate is of foreign birth. Of course they are white; and white people know the meaning of UNITY. We yet prefer to remain apart." "Yourvicious practice. I shall bring to the attention of the State Grand Lodge, the Supreme Chancellor Commander and other organizations of the State Such practices, not only injure a very good Order, but they undo all of the good work we have done for the past fifteen years in bringing about a better understanding, and a closer union between people who dwell together. Is Crass Ignorance. "My only desire to be among you now would be to reform you if such a thing is possible. Such crass ignorance as practiced by you, if allowed to go unhecked, will do more to keep your race in perpetual slavery than anything else can." In closing, I must warn you that a people divided against it cannot stand. Black men are black men, whether they were born in Georgia, South Carolina or Trinidad, and are equally oppressed without thought as to the places of their birth. Then for the good of ourselves and the community in which we live, we hold, forever, cast aside Ignorance and crest in its place intelligence and light, and practice even in a small-degree, the great principles and brothely love which were so ably exemplified by Damon and Pythias. Then, and not till then can we call ourselves anything "but just damned fool." A. McDONALD IFILL Editor of *True* A. True John M. Herbert, Old Trentonian, Dead After Long Illness Trenton, N. J.—John M. Herbert, of 25 Lamberton street, one of the best known and most highly esteemed colored residents of this city, died Wednesday, January 4 at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, during an operation for throat trouble. Mr. Herbert, who was 75 years of age, was taken ill about five months ago and entered the hospital last Monday. For several years the deceased had conducted a linoleum and carpet laying establishment near his Lamberton street home. He was born and had always resided in the same house which is more than 100 years old and one of the landmarks in that section. The homestead was passed on to him by his father, Manfield Herbert, who lived for half a century in the house. Educated In Trenton Young John received his first schooling from the Franciscan Sisters who had a little-frame schoolhouse on Market street. When he grew older, his father had him transferred to the Lutheran School on Cooper street where he gained much knowledge of the German language and used it to advantage later in his business career. Mr. Herbert never sought public office, but had always been an ardent Republican, actively participating in the events held by the Fourth Ward Republican Club of which he was the only colored member. As a consistent advocate for the uplift of his race, the venerable resident was always interested in the Eclectic Club a social organization which enjoyed a long successful existence. For many years Mr. Herbert was president of the club. Several years ago he became a member of Judge Davis' Bible Class, and was active until his illness. Residing in a community principally composed of white families, the Herberts have always been noted for their amicable neighborliness with their Caucasian brothers and Mr. Herbert numbered among his many friends scores of white persons, including Mayor Donnelly. When he observed the 75th anniversary of his birth last November, he had as guests several of the City Commissioners. Sisters Are Heirs. Mr. Herbert never married. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Agnes L. Kemp and Mrs. J. T. Richardson, both of this city. Private funeral services were conducted Saturday, afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at his late home.

LACEY HELD FOR MURDER OF JOHNSON IN BROOKLYN ON NEW YEAR'S EVE AS QUICK GIVES BAIL AS ONLY WITNESS Investigation by District Attorney Charles J. Dodd of Kings County into the killing by stubbing of Fred Johnson in his room at 556 Dates avenue on New Year's Eve (died December 25, 2015) published in the daily papers and by The Age last week did not disclose the real facts. The story as told to Mr. Dodd by Iverson Quick of 253 Pacific street, and which resulted in Mr. Quick's status being changed from that of a principal to that of a witness, revealed that the original version was unfair to him. Instead of the killing coming to the climax to a New Year's party in the Johnson home with unlimited drinking of alcohol, the victim was bed by Fred. Lacey of 914 Myrtle avenue after Johnson had left the Myrtle avenue address following a quarrel with Lacey's sister. The story as fold by Mr. Quick is that Johnson had been at the Lacey woman's house earlier in the evening, it being common report that he had been intimate with her. For some reason Johnson had become dissatisfied and when he wanted to leave, the woman took his hat and overcoat and locked his up to keep him in the house. Finally, he escaped as an exit, Johnson left the house proceeded to 556 Gates avenue, where he had taken a-room after becoming separated from his wife. Advised Getting Police Quick, who operates, taxis cars, and who knew Johnson, happened to his driving through Gates avenue about 1:30 a.m., enroute to the garage where he keeps his cars, seeing Johnson stand bareheaded at his door, Quick stopped his cab and spoke. Johnson asked him to return to 'the Myrtle avenue house and help him to get the hat and coat. Quick did not agree to this, but suggested that an officer from the 'Gates Avenue station would go with him, offering to accompany Johnson to the station to get the officer. And while an officer accompanied Johnson, Quick stayed in the station house talking to the desk sergeant. After some time he went back to Johnson's house to await the latter's return, and when Johnson did return he had secured both hat and coat. But not, according to Johnson's story as told to Quick, without the lacey woman making every effort to prevent him from doing so. In fact, he reported, the officer had to threaten the woman with arrest before she gave up the hat and coat. Then, Quick's story continues, he and Johnson went in the house to Hotel Dumas ```markdown ``` HIGHEST IN SERVICE LOWEST IN PRICE Johnson's room, where they sat talking. In a few minutes there came a rap at the door and Johnson answered, asking, "Who is it?" and when he heard the reply, Johnson told Quick that it was "Fred," meaning Lacey. It appears that Quick did not know Lacey's name, but had seen him with Johnson and knew they were acquaintances. Johnson then invited Lacey to come in. As Lacey entered room, states Quick, he demanded angrily of Johnson as to why he. Johnson had come to Lacey's sister's house with an officer while she was having a party, the intimation being that she was making and selling hooch, Johnson asked Lacey to sit down, offering to make an explanation. But the irate man drew a 12-inch butcher knife from a back pocket and plunged it into Johnson's breast. And when Quick made an attempt to interfere, Lacey threatened him with the bloody blade. Then Quick rushed from the room and across the street to the police station, where he told what had happened and was followed back to Johnson's room by a number of officers. Johnson was sweltering in his blood, but life still lingered. Jacey had disappeared. Lacey Was Arrested In rushing from the Myrtle avenue house, following Johnson, Lacey had not stopped to put on coat or vest, but came out with only an overcoat on. Quick told the officers of this, gave them a description of the man whom he had heard called "Fred" by Johnson, and in the meantime the officer who had accompanied Johnson to the Lacey house had come in and recognized the body, for Johnson died shortly after the officers reached the house. So back to Myrtle avenue a group of officers hastened, and there they found Lacey still without coat or vest, and with clothes stained with blood from the fatal wounds inflicted upon his victim. Then both men were arrested and held on charges of murder and homicide, but when arraigned, District Attorney Dodd quickly ordered Quick's release on $1,000 bond as a material witness, and the holding of Lacey on a charge of murder. This occurred on Thursday, January 5, and on the day previous Attorney Rufus L. Perry had gone into court with application for a writ of habea corpus in behalf of Quick, but as he was being held on a murder charge, the hearing for the next day acceded to the District Attorney's request that no bail be set, and the writ was not granted. Editor of The New York Age: Because of the many letters and cards of inquiry concerning me, I decided a few weeks ago to give out a statement to the public, to the A. M. E. Church and to my Friends concerning the famous Bishop John Hurst and myself. I think I owe this to myself as well as to others. I have been in South Carolina for thirty years and am willing for every charge which I have served to be the judge of how faithfully and honestly I did my duty as pastor. I am immodest enough to state that I have followed some splendid pastors but my reports have always been in advance of previous opees. As pastor or presiding elder, I am not a driver or boss, but a worker with the flock. I challenge any man to state that I ever have been a bishop fighter, or elder fighter. But I have my opinions, and have at least enough sense and manhood to state them. And I do not have opinions as hindrances to bishops, but to assist either them or the church, or both. Since I have been in South Carolina, Bishops Embry, Grant, W. J. Gaines, Coppin Lee, Turner, and Chappelle, Besides Bishops Beckett and Hurst, have presided here. And I did as much as any man in my sphere to assist every one of them. And I have done as much as any one else in the state since Bishop Hurst has been here. If we had a boy bishop I would have done as much. I am not serving any man as such. I am serving in the church. But as a matter of fact, Bishop Hurst came to the state with an absolutely ugly spirit in him for me. But I had said nothing ugly about him, though certain others did—others who are now his greatest praisers and hoosters. But to the point. When at the funeral of Bishop Beecket it was decided by the bishops to send Bishop Hurst to the state, two or three men said that Beard and Chavis, and two other men whose names I shall not at this time call, had better dig their graves, etc. Maybe the men who were said to have made the above statement did not tell the truth, but it seems passing strange that what we heard has come true in large measure. I was presiding elder of the Kingstreet district when Bishop Hurst came to the state. And I decided to do under him what I had done under all other bishops—serve the church faithfully. To show good faith, I invited the bishop to my district conference. He came, but he did not answer my invitation. I treated him as a gentleman would treat a bishop, and I gave him $25, and gave the minister who brought him money for gas for his car. As presiding elder I reported $331.50 in advance of what I was asked to raise for education. At my annual conference, my district made more increases than the other districts, and that conference (Palmetto) reported more than any conference in the state. When the INVENTORY SALE Many Good Bargains WE - ARE - DEPENDABLE appointments were read. If I was transferred to the Columbia conference with no more notice of it than if I were a common dog. I was presiding elder one year; My sin in this case was that I had not been made presiding elder by His Almightiness, John Hurst. I went to Winnisboro, the seat of the Columbia conference, and was from there sent to Bethel, Church, Columbia. I did the best I could there, all debts being in bad shape. The people were pleased with my effort with them and requested by writing and by vote that I be returned to them. And after my transfer three different committees waited upon the bishop begging and demanding my return as pastor. The fact I was had a line on six per cent money from a certain rich company to take up the debts now standing at seven and eight per cent, amounting to around $50,000. And I could have served Bethel to greater advantage this year at last. But this is not what the distinguished bishop wants. And he even thought, from what he said, that the church paid me too much salary. At Spartanburg, I made a talk in the interest of mission preachers and mission 'money for' them, a talk that would have pleased even the Lord. But because Beard made it, it was very insulting to His Holiness. Bishop Hurst, and he made a remark to me that I would not have made in a company of men. But there were certain women present, including, the bishop's wife. Well, from that conference I was again transferred without the respect or notice that one gambler would give another. And from the Piedmont conference, to which I was sent, I was appointed to Abbeville station where it was well known to-the righteous bishop that I could not hope to get at best more than half the salary I got last year. But that is in keeping with the bishop's disposition and character and heart. But of course not in harmony with the Spirit of Christ. Rev. E. H. Coit (who, it seems to me, is assistant bishop to Bishop Hurst) told two or three persons that I was going to be sent to Abbeville. Dr. Coit, has the honor of being in touch with all such mischief. And he is not by himself. If Jesus Christ were bishop in South Carolina. He would not say he came here for spite. But Bishop Hurst said so. If Christ were bishop her. He would move men from place to place for revenge. If Bishop Hurst says he does not do so no honest person will believe him—nor even the bishop himself would. I really believe Bishop Hurst is trying to drive me out of the Church or out of the state. But he shall neither at present. I am quite sure I have more friends in South Carolina than Bishop Hurst has, whether in the laity or in the ministry. I invited Bishop J. Albert Johnson and Bishop R. C. Ransom to preach and lecture for me in Columbia. Bishop Johnson accepted the invitation. This I understant was offensive to Bishop Hurst. Think of it! My opinion, after much prayer and TINKHAM SAYS DISFRANCHISEMENT IS NATIONAL SCANDAL, NULLIFICATION OF 15th AMENDMENT BEING THE CAUSE meditation, is that if all the bishops of the A. M. E. Church were like the Rt. (Wrong) Rev. John Hurst, the church would go to pieces. and the "Kingdom of Heaven" would not suffer. 1 I regret very much to make these statements, but they are sincere and true. And I have even more to say about the ministry and church in South Carolina. No one loves the church more than I do, but the day of slavery is past. If the Son shall make you tree, you shall be free indeed." Jf. Bishp Hurst is not a taskmaster. I do not know what the term means. True, Bishop Hurst loves and favors, those who praise and worship him, his sinners and publicans do that. It takes a real bishop with a consecrated heart and mind and soul, like the lamented, Bishop B. F. Lee, and others, who can treat all men like gentlemen and brothers, especially when they do their work. Is the church a pen knife in Bishop Hurst's vest pocket to use regardless to the glory of God? Are certain of us ministers the property of His Highness to be knuckled about and transferred from place to place as persons sold-in slavery? not even hinted to about what is in his-Haitian brain? (Though he does tell some of his purposes.) "I tell the truth and lie not." But more later. Yours for righteousness and truth. 1. E. BEARD 1922 Summer St. Columbia, S. C. A. D.

Congressman George H. Tinkham Massachusetts told a large audience at Mother A. M. F. Zion Church Sunday afternoon, January 8. The occasion was the annual meeting of the N. A. A. C. P., which was made at spies of the New York Women's Committee of One Hundred. Congressman Tinkham said that this disfranchisement is due solely to the nullification of the 15th Amendment to the Constitution. Congress has refused to enforce this Amendment and the Southern Democratic politicians, admitting the disfranchisement, assert Northern Republican politicians are too timid to enforce this provision. Dr. W. E. B. Dutlois, editor of The Crisis, who was also one of the principal speakers, pointed out that disfranchisement in the South is not merely a Negro problem. But a problem of democratic government that affects the whole nation. He presented statistics to show that many poor whites as well as Negroes were kept from voting in the South. The conclusion of these statistics was "that whereas the population of the far South has increased rapidly, the number of voters have remained almost stationary during the past ten years." Miss Mary White Owington, chair- man of the Board of Directors, of the Association, presided, and James Weldon Johnson, executive secretary, reviewed accomplishments of the past year. An appeal for new members and contributions was made by Robert W. Bagall, director of branches. This appeal met with many respon- ses. Music was rendered by the jun- ior choir of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, with a solo by Mme. Lula Robinson-Jones, the director, of this choir. The following members of the Women's Committee of One Hundred assisted in making the meeting a success: Mesdames Elizabeth Allen Estelle Anderson, Regina Andrews Sarah Butler, Nona Bizzell, Marion Beasley, Candance Day, Belle Grant, Cora Holloway, Alice Holland, Grace N. Johnson, Maud J. rott, Florence Langley, E. Leather, Octavia Lee Bertha Lee, Carrie Diverton, Helen Press, Minnie Pickens, Lucile Green Randolph, Estelle Ranier, Florence Richardson, Alice Reed, Rose Riley, Gentude Robinson, Millicent Sherman, Inez Richardson Wilson, Mary Wilson and Misses Willighina Adams, Carolyn Downs, Lucille Miller, Breedra Moryck, Ivy Nunez and Julia Wormley. such crimes as that alleged above are permitted to go without adequate punishment. But while the law of man may be flouted and cheated for a while, there is a law of divine retribution which will exact its due. The breeding of such criminals as Hickman may be a part of the scheme of Providence working out through natural laws that cannot be evaded. A REACTION TO PREJUDICE. A recent editorial in the Boston Chronicle gave evidence of the cramping effects of race prejudice in restraining the feeling or expression of human sympathy in time of a great national disaster which may involve as victims the white race. The editor of the Chronicle, in mirroring to two disasters of this sort, cressed that "it is difficult for a color person not to regard with singfroid (literally coldblood) the sorrow of the men and hold back his compassion from the system that is out of sympathy with him." In the case of the sinking of the submarine, said this frank and would-boiled editor, "every colored citizen knows that Negroes are discriminated against in the War and Navy Departments. They are not allowed to qualify even to die for their country, except in menial and small service way." He asks, as consequence of this outrage, policy, how can a Negro sorrow genuinely for a national disaster. We think that our Boston contemporaryry has hardened his heart in the wrong direction. If the officials who are responsible for the caste system in the army and navy had been aboard theunker submarine, it might have been easy to regard their extinction as a national-blessing, but, the men who disprisoned under the sea were just such victims of official maladministration as any man who was kept onto the service because of his color. The were human victims of official incapacity in the Navy department and entitled to a full measure of human sympathy on the account. The fact that our Boston editor cannot accord it to them, or share in the national grief, only shows that the deadly effect of race prejudice is varied and farreaching. The other case singled out as one the traits to evoke unstinted sympathy on the heart of the race, was the atrocious crime committed by a youth in California, who carried up the body of a young girl who had kidnapped and returned the dumbered corpse to her anxious father after he had paid fifteen hundred dollars as ransom. But this warped Boston editor thinks that the natural indignation evoked in any human being at brutal a crime is checked and "our feelings are mingled with resentment when we think that in spite of the fact that no atrocious, unnatural, inflictious crimes such as those committed bylickman, or Lone Wolf, have been committed by colored men, yet they are branded as burly, dangerous brute. White women are taught to be afraid them, while white faces ipso facto are trusted and honorable." We fear that our Boston editor has become too introspective and that he naturally happy disposition has becomeoured by too much brooding over crime and color. He may have been affected by the continued furor raised over the Sacco and Vanzetti case, in which Massachusetts justice suffered in prejudice. At any rate he should strive to retain the quality of sympathy with common humanity, even if he is possessed with the wrongs committee against the race because of intolerant and color prejudice. The Boston editor should get in closer touch with real people of both races. He will find that the great majority share a spirit of common humanity. His reaction to prejudice is wrong. A recent editorial in the Boston Chronicle gave evidence of the cramping effects of race prejudice in restraining the feeling or expression of human sympathy in time of a great national disaster, which may involve as victims the white race. The editor of the Chronicle, in referring to two disasters of this sort, confessed that "it is difficult for a colored person, not to regard with sungfroid (literally coldblood) the sorrow of the nation and hold back his compassion from a system that is out of sympathy with him." HOW CRIME IS INCUBATED. Reviewing the Hickman case in California, which is pronounced the worst crime ever known, when the question was asked as to where people capable of such atrocities hail from, the editor of the Black Dispatch of Oklahoma City demanded to the first statement and offered copious information as to the second. The atmosphere in which such crimes as that perpetrated by Hickman are committed is generated right here in America. It grows out of the tolerance of lynching and other mob excesses practiced against black victims. Empowered by immunity from punishment, the mob spirit which grows like any other evil on what it feeds, corrupts the moral values of a whole community, or finds receptive soil in some abnormal individuality. This may account for the actions of such butchers as Hickman. But we must let Editor Dunjee excoriate the system that gave birth to Hickman in his own way: In the case of the sinking of the submarine, said this frank and wouldbe hardboiled editor, "every colored citizen knows that Negroes are discriminated against in the War and Navy Departments. They are not allowed to qualify even to die for their country, except in a menial and small service way." He asks, as consequence of this outrageous policy, how can a Negro sorrow genuinely for a national disaster. We think that our Boston contemporary has hardened his heart in the wrong direction. If the officials who are responsible for the caste system in the army and navy had been aboard the sunken submarine, it might have been easy to regard their extinction as a national blessing, but the men who died imprisoned under the sea were just as much victims of official maladministration as any man who was kept out of the service because of his color. They were human victims of official incapacity in the Navy department and entitled to a full measure of human sympathy on that account. The fact that our Boston editor cannot accord it to them, or share in the national grief, only shows that the deadly effect of race prejudice is varied and farreaching. What would you think of a vile, inhuman person who would slash open the bowels of an expectant mother and dash her unborn offspring upon the heather so be the last fleeing gimpse of earth that such a mother and child. Think of the torture of a soul leaping into the Great Beyond with such a picture. The other case singled out as one that fails to evoke unstinted sympathy on the part of the race, was the atrocious crime committed by a youth in California, who carved up the body of a young girl whom he had kidnapped and returned the dismembered corpse to her anxious father, after he had paid fifteen hundred dollars as ransom. But this warped Boston editor thinks that the natural indignation evoked in any human being at so brutal a crime is checked and "our feelings are mingled with resentment when we think that in spite of the fact that no atrocious, unnatural, infamous crimes such as those committed by Hickman, or Lone Wolf, have been committed by colored men, yet they are branded as burly, dangerous brutes. White women are taught to be afraid of them, while white faces ipso facto are trusted and honorable." Just a few days ago perhaps a thousand men and women down in Arkansas joined in a party in which a man was first strangled to death on a pole; his body was then ridden with bullets, following which the victim was hitched to a car and his head dashed to pieces, as he was holdly dragged through the section of the city where his people lured. A wild orgy of rioting and shooting gripped the city for more than a week. In one county down in Arkansas (Jefferson) in 1926, there were twenty-four private killings that ranged all the way from piling rocks, and baking human beings to a crisp, down to the attempt to determine how a human carcass could be made to solve a question how general it be, become to resort to such a pastime as just referred to, it might be pointed out that down in Virginia recently the enraged place went to the polls and defeated the offence, and the prosecuting attorney in Isle Wight County because he refused to allow them the privilege of dissecting the body an insane man named Winnigan. The records compiled at Tuskegee Institute show that there have been about 5,000 suchversions to brute type here in America ofough importance to have, dishonorable mention. God knows how many morecountless deeds of hellishness have been covered up and will never be known. When newspapers here in America willadvertise lynching bees to the public; whenhuman beings gasp, struggle and cry pituitouslyas flames: slowly eat their heart out; whenbefore the dying embs have lost theirmothers of another generation rush upthe form of hair, bones and mementos, that oughtto make them shudder, and yet bring glee—ifcan be readily seen where SUCH PEOPLECOME FROM AS WILLIAM HICKMAN,LOS ANGELES BUTCHER. We fear that our Boston editor has become too introspective and that his naturally happy disposition has become soured by too much brooding over crime and color. He may have been affected by the continued furor raised over the Sacco and Vanzetti case, in which Massachusetts justice suffered in prestige. At any rate he should strive to retain the quality of sympathy with common humanity, even if he is obsessed with the wrongs committed against the race because of intolerance and color prejudice. The Boston editor should get in closer touch with real people of both races. He will find that the great majority share a spirit of common humanity. If reaction to prejudice is wrong. There is such a thing as pre-natal influence. Who knows but what Hickman's mother attended such a party even when he was in the womb? And what of thousands of other mothers all over the Southland, who, if we are to believe the daily press, read with glee the advertised lynching parties, and attend with their brutal males: That the spirit of the lynching party is carried into the courts was another count in Editor Dunjee's indictment, in which he referred to the story of a crime told on the front page of the same issue of the Dispatch, committed by two white men upon a helpless colored girl near Harrah, Oklahoma. He continued: A PREACHER OF TOLERANCE. Miss Maude Royden, an English teacher and author, who arrived New York last week, in her first public address at Town Hall, advocated mutual tolerance and respect as the solvent to many questions at issue between different races and nations. Miss Royden advocacy of tolerance was perhaps a suit at those captions critics in the women's organizations which cancelled invitations to speak in Boston and Philadelphia, because it was announced that he smoked cigarettes. But the speak Miss Maude Royden, an English preacher and author, who arrived in New York last week, in her first public address at Town Hall, advocated mutual tolerance and respect as the solvent of many questions at issue between different races and nations. Miss Royden's advocacy of tolerance was perhaps a sly hit at those captious critics in the women's organizations which cancelled her invitations to speak in Boston and Philadelphia, because it was announced that she smoked cigarettes. But the speaker waived the smoking habit as immaterial to her mission, and dealt with broader questions in her first address. She was doped, raped and left to die by the roadside, December 7, the coldest day that Oklahoma has had in 1927. Today her nails are dropping from her feet because of her limbs being frozen during the horrible experience. This crime, was committed in Lincoln County and to date the County Attorney of that county has seen fit to do nothing more than charge these two morons, more vile than Lickman (for Hickman is not charged with rape), with larceny—the least of their offenses. This is a sample of what happens when white folk commit crimes against black folk. Is not such an atmosphere one in which crime is incubated? Perhaps Hickman "got by" early in his career, because his victim was black; perhaps his discased brain decided that it was all right to assume that attitude towards anybody. Every evil has within itself the seeds of its own destruction. America is paying the penalty for its hypocritical attitude towards black folk. We have nursed and sheltered crime and now the serpent fullgrown recoils and pierces its own body with its vile poison. Miss Royden suggested that the great art of the future may come out of Africa, as a contribution of the Negro race. She thinks that the race's singular gift of music and perception of tone, as well as the love of color, were not given to no purpose. She suggested also that other great gifts to mankind may he lying undeveloped in the subconsciousness of other races, brown or yellow, perhaps. She dismissed the idea of a melting pot, reducing all the races to one common type, as absurd, but saw a solution of present controversies in the statesmanship broad enough to discard violence and repressive measures on the part of the stronger toward the weaker. Among other things she said: "The world suffers much today from an inferior complex on the part of races and of small nations. Persecution, force, abuse have played their part in producing this complex, and it has the inevitable reaction, sooner or later, of arousing in the disliked or trodden upon race or small nation a determination to make itself as obnoxious as possible. "Now the way to forestall any such thing as that is to encourage small nations and the races, to assist them to realize their talents. That would develop pride and self-respect in them, and an understanding of rivals, and it would eliminate the inferior complex reactions which are producing so much trouble for the world." "Now the way to forestall any such thing as that is to encourage small nations and the races, to assist them to realize their talents. That would develop pride and self-respect in them, and an understanding of rivals, and it would eliminate the inferior complex reactions which are producing so much trouble for the world." The removal of this inferior complex and a right understanding of the race question are what the world needs to make things go smoothly and to solve the differences now apparent. America, particularly, she found in need of thinking over the idea of sympathy and tolerance as useful aids in the solution of its race question. This would not be a bad idea for the delegates to the Pan-American conference at Havana to tuck in their portfolios, as racial differences play a large part in the questions to be settled at that meeting.

MODERN TITHING A striking example of the efficacy of the ancient custom of tithing brought up to date was furnished in the cam- A striking example of the efficacy of the ancient custom of tithing brought up to date was furnished in the campaign conducted among the members of Abyssinian Baptist Church to pay off its mortgage. This church is one of the oldest in New York City, its origin dating back to 1808. During its existence of over a century, it has changed its location perhaps a half dozen times, always moving north, until it acquired the imposing structure upon One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street, valued at half a million dollars. It moved into this edifice over four years ago, with an indebtedness of sixty thousand dollars. But the pastor and trustees of Abyssinia did not want to remain in debt any longer than was necessary. What was styled a title campaign was started, whereby the sixteen hundred members pledged themselves to contribute one-tenth of their weekly earnings as an offering to pay the debt. It was said that ninety-five per cent of those making this pledge made good their performance, a remarkable showing. The consequence was that the last payment has been made, and a mortgage burning celebration followed to commemorate the occasion. As an example of the possibilities of achievement by an earnest group of our people working with a common purpose, this is significant. There is a tendency nowadays to deprecate the building of costly church buildings and to criticize the diversion of the earnings of hard working people to this purpose. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, the pastor of Abyssinian Church, takes issue with this view, and points to the fact that thousands have been drawn to this church because of its simple beauty. He believe that it brings many from outside the fold to admire its architectural beauty and thereby plays an important part in quickening and stimulating spiritual life. It must also be remembered that this church does not confine its ministrations to services of prayer and praise, and the preaching of sermons on Sundays. The activities of Abyssinia Church, with its present membership of seven thousand people, occupy the time of fifty-two clubs and auxiliaries. It has a community house, with gymnasium, shower baths, reading rooms, class and club workrooms, a model apartment and a roof garden. A teachers training school is conducted with the cooperation of Columbia College and the New York City Federation. Forty-five women take a course of first aid instruction in Red Cross nurses training class. A night school connected with the church has an enrollment of more than one hundred. Last summer the vacation Bible school had an attendance of one hundred and twenty-five. From this brief recital of the work it is doing for the good of the community, it will be appreciated that the money put in the establishment of this church plant should be counted as a good investment. The dividends that it pays may not be in actual dollars and cents, but in the form of physical, mental and moral improvement for those members of the community receiving its benefits. THE AGE READERS' FORUM NANNIE H. BURROUGHS DISCUSSES THE TRAINING SCHOOL SITUATION By NANNIE H. BURROUGHS Founder and Principal of the National Training School For Girls, Washington, D. C. The church which looks after the development of its members in all the phases of their development as human beings, is the one that justifies its claims to fine buildings and modern equipment. It is well that the ancient custom of titling should be revived and adapted to such a worthy purpose. CONFIDENCE GAMES. CONFIDENCE GAMES. When the visitor from Bunktown, on his first trip to the metropolis, announced that he was going by himself to view the Brooklyn Bridge, his anxious host warned him: "Don't let anybody sell it to you, no matter how cheap it is offered." This warning was not wholly unnecessary as it is said to be a poor day for suckers, when the Bridge or the Old Post Office Building does not net the confidence men enough to pay for their gambling losses during the noon hour. Up in Harlem the confidence game is worked in other ways, as the residents have no use for bridges and the Old Post Office is out of the district. So the ways and means of taking away what the numbers runners have overlooked have to be adapted to the neighborhood. Sometimes the lost and found pocketbook game is worked to the loss of the avaricious onlooker, who is invited to The National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, is demanding that the trustees of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Incorporated, surrender their charter and turn the school over to the convention to own manage, and control—a request to change a successful policy for an unsuccessful experiment. Convention management of an institution of learning is too loose, uncertain and changeable to ensure the permanency of its existence and security of investments in it. There are a number of Baptist schools in the states, managed by state conventions, and all such schools that have not had to close up, or that have not been sold by the men of the convention, or the few schools that depend on white friends for help, are in a precarious condition. Two states that had Convention-managed schools and have fought in the National Baptist Convention for a change of the training school charter to convention management, have failed outright, this year. One school was sold by the president of the State Convention and the other one has shut down, the other who ago a white woman who is interested in another school controlled by a state convention, visited us. In speaking of the condition she said, "The school is in bad shape; it hurts my heart to see how things are going to pieces." Convention Control A Failure. If convention control is the panacea for all illies, why haven't we at least, one example of success in colored Baptist schools, operated by state conventions? There isn't one on record. The advocates of the policy have never managed a school of any kind and are not connected with any that are being successfully operated by a convention. The Training School must own, control and manage itself as a body corporate and give an account of its stewardship to the Woman's Convention, auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention, and all donors. It has been said that the convention will "fix it" so that in case of financial pressure the Training School property will not be jeopardized. The convention charter has "fixed it." B of article I says the corporation (convention) may use, and dispose of property turned over to it in accordance with" the law, to mortgage property and change the school, management, at will. Drastic Convention Law. Article V of the charter under which the National Baptist Convention is now operated says this corporation (when they say "this Corporation") they unite the board of directors of the National Baptist Convention under the charter shall have the exclusive right and power at its annual session or at such other time as shall be provided by the charter and appoint the officers, managers and directors for each and all of the said auxiliary boards of the National Baptist Convention (that would include the Training School) and that said auxiliary boards share in the division of the treasure troye, to which he has no moral or legal claim. But, of course, as a guarantee of good faith he has to show that he is the possessor of sufficient cash to make good if the owner is found or rather finds him. If he bites, he deposits his good money with the confidence operators to get hold of the stuffed wallet, which on inspection proves only to contain worthless paper. Then another game is based on the statement that Harlem banks, will not allow colored, people to open an account. The confidence operator in this game usually poses as a white Southerner who wants to put his money in some bank, and finally persuades his colored dupe to allow him to put it in a joint account. After this is done, as soon as the Negro's book is turned, the putative Southerner draws not only his own cash but whatever balance there was to the credit of the original depositor. Of confidence games there is no end, with new varieties sprung every day or so, appealing to the avarice or vanity of mankind. P. T. Barnum said that the American people like to be fooled, while Hungry Joe put it more crudely in the assertion, that "A sucker is born every minute." Both of them were not far from the facts. and THEIR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS shall have and exercise no power to control over the affairs and property of said boards. Why should the board of directors, who have not toiled night and day to build up the denomination work, he given more voice and power than the secretaries and chairmen of boards who work like galley slaves the year round. Why can't the secretaries and chairmen o the boards be legal members of the board of directors of the National Baptist Convention. Who drew up that charter that reduced the secretaries of all the boards of the National Baptist Convention to mere birdings? Women Are Ignored. Furthermore, there isn't a woman on the board of directors, which, of course, means that the Woman's Convention has no voice, vote nor legal status under the charter of the National Baptist Convention, and cannot protect itself nor any property turned over to it. The National Baptist Convention, for some reason, does not publish its charter in the minutes. Why? The charter gives the convention (board of directors, in fact) exclusive management over the Woman's Auxiliary to and reduces its in the charter to "The Woman's Auxiliary Board," and says the National Baptist Convention shall nominate and appoint the officers. Isn't that some charter in this Twentieth Century of woman suffrage? In case of foreclosure or pressure by he holds of the mortgage, all property owned by the convention will be liable for the debt and can be used as security, under separate or blanket mortgage. The promise not to make the Training School liable for the debts of the convention, does not make the Training School property half as secure as it is now under its own separate charter. We want the Training School absolutely secure. In amplification of this 18th Century position given Baptist women in the 20th Century, a plank was put into the convention platform at St. Louis, which reads—"I believe that the Woman's Convention should sustain the same relationship to the 'National Baptist Convention that a missionary society sustains to a church'" The Missionary Society. It is true the missionary society is a church auxiliary, but how and for what it functions depends entirely upon the mind and measure of the man in the pulpit. Not many of our churches concern themselves about the work and development of the missionary society. It is not a picture in many of our churches and its true relationship is not definitely defined nor genuinely appreciated. Its life depends upon a few faithful wooers and the expenditure of its funds, implying the interpretation of the purpose of a missionary society. If a man of clear vision and unselfish interest is in charge of the church, the society works for the advancement of the Heavenly Kingdom; but, if a selfish man of limited vision is in charge, the missionary society W. H. A. Moore in his "Everyday" column in the Chicago Herd had the following to sa) about writing and literature: It is nothing new for one to assert, that all writing is not literature. It has been said time and time again, and yet I somehow like to revert to the fact that because it serves, as much needed reminder that on my own account, I write much but produce little in the form of genuine literature. I do not see much harm that will come out of the general persistence to write providing we do not take ourselves too seriously when we engage in this very enjoyable practice. There are many among us who write verse and imagine we are writing poetry. In another direction there are those we know who write stories and jolly themselves into thinking that they have written novels. I can see no harm in finding a deal of satisfaction whenever we fall into these errors, always providing we keep our wits sharpened to the point where we don't get disagreeable about the matter and fall to quarrelling with our neighbors concerning the darn thing. Outside of that we are all right to subscribe until it hurts. Brother Moore has been at the writing game so long that he can probably take a philosophic view of the matter. But we imagine he is still as realous as ever in polishing the lines of a sonnet or a rodeau. In extending his New Year's greeting the veteran editor of the Cleveland Gazette took occasion to rebuke some carpeting critics, as follows: It is simply astonishing how much people, who have never had any experience in our newspaper business, show about it, or rather THINK they know. When a sufficient number of our people, and this includes the "knowing-ones," progress to the point where they are able to properly appreciate those we have and patronize them anything like they ought to, we are going to have better papers and not until then. Meanime, those wonderfully "smart know-ing-ones" should cease displaying their ignorance, nerve and gall in silly criticism. Editor Harry C. Smith maintains his reputation as a fighter, by trying to spur the boss of the Cleveland Republican machine to keep his works for the advancement of the "earthly, king." The charter says, "The Auxiliary Board" must be "subject to" and "under control of." Those who were fortunate enough to attend the New York meeting got a perfect idea of what "subject to" means because when our president was called upon to represent the Woman's Convention, she came forward and after a whispered consultation, went "way back—and sat down." She never said a "numblin" word—not a word. "The National Baptist Convention is training the National Training School for Women and Girls. It owes us a half million dollars on the publishing plant and it will take at least twenty-five years to pay that debt and its staggering interest. A Welfare Corporation: Furthermore, the Training School is a welfare corporation. Its property should not be tied up with the commercial enterprises of the convention. The publishing house is loaded down with debt and staggering over overhead expenses. Neither clear-headed business men nor philanthropists will put money into any school if it becomes entangled with a million dollar mortgaged commercial venture. The financial liability of the National Baptist Convention is shown in the fact that it is not financing its part of the work of the American Baptist Theological Seminary at Nashville, which Southern Baptists gave the convention, on condition, that the convention give dollar for dollar, for its upkeep and operation. "The National Baptist Convention is not keeping that contract. Southern Baptists have their dollar money in the bank, waiting for us to raise ours. Just think of it! The money is right there for us and we cannot "manage" to get it. Here is some more evidence of how we "manage" schools. Dr E.W. D. Laure, in a strong appeal for help for the Seminery, said: "We haven't been able to furnish the dining room; it will cost three hundred dollars to fit it up. Our students must walk a mile, three times a day to get something to eat, because we have no furnishings." No Money For Seminary. Think of it! The school has been in operation more than three years and the National Baptist Convention has not been able to raise the money to get chars for the students to sit in; nor dishes for them to eat out of. It has says that they could not raise fifty dollars a month for a teacher of music and that he is donating his services to help out with the music. It seems to us that if the convention cannot raise six hundred dollars to pay a teacher of music, he would have hundred dollars to provide a dinner and will allow the students to freezes 3 days to get something to eat that it is hardly in position to assume the management of another institution. Before it was loaded down with a million dollar publishing house and was GIVEN a school to "manage," the convention, as a (Continued on Page Nine) Seeking to justify the general rejoicing over the recurring birth of a New Year, the editor of the Boston Chronicle reasoned thus: This arrangement of our course through life in stages is in itself a cause to find ourselves happy as we face a New Year—a new start. We may look back upon the year just past and check up on ourselves with a view toward bettering the record in the year just ahead. No matter how sad or depressed this review of our record leaves us, the thought of a New Year should revive and renew us to the extent of sending us with fresh vigor and new courage to the performance of our duty and the approximation of our goals. This return of the opportunity to start all over is a precious gift through which we are urged to larger achievement and the realization of higher possibilities. This subtle course of reasoning emboldened the Boston editor to wish his readers, "A Happy New Year." Another Ohio editor who came back at his critics, was W. P. Dabney of the Cincinnati Union, who said, mostly in capitals: WE HAVE OFTEN TOLD THE SMALL BRAINED BUSYBOYES WHO GO AROUND TALKING ABOUT THE "LITTLE UNION" HAS NOTHING IN IT, THAT LITERARY VALUES ARE RARELY REGulated BY SIZE OF THE PRODUCTION. Any old diamond is worth more than a load of coal, some worth as much as a scraper. Many newspapers of eight, twelve, sixteen, twenty-bour pages do not carry a single article worth reading; or preserving. But that's another story. THIS WEEK, ON MONDAY, IF YOU PLEASE, ON THE EDITORIAL LEGAGE OF THE ENQUIRER AMONG ARTICLES FROM THE LEADING DAILIES OF THIS COUNTRY APPEARS WHAT THE UNION HAD TO SAY ABOUT "REMUS CASE!" JUST THINK OF THAT IF YOU PLEASE! THE COMMENT OF A NEGRO PAPER ABOUT A MATTER CONCERNING WHICH THERE IS NO PHASE OF THE RACE. QUESTION, PUBLISHED IN ONE OF THE GREATEST DAILIES IN THE WORLD! NOW WILL YOU. PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW A GOOD THING WHEN YOU SEE IT BE GOOD. Editor Dahney displays enough originality at times in his first page comments, to command reproduction in any daily. Fulminating against the system of self-perpetuating boards, in which vacancies are filled by the existing membership, the Nashville Clarion delivered the following blast: The tendency in both secular and religious organizations is to displace the self-existing, self-perpetuating, self-controlled board. In nine out of every ten cases the board that can elect its own members has defied the parent body and become a law unto itself. Upon the discovery of its independence it has assumed the right to dictate to the 'parent organization' the terms on which its money and property should be managed or disposed of. Such boards have justified their misubordination and rebellion by the advantages which the law gives them. They have squandered the people's money and refused to account for it; they have piled up swag; gering debts over the protests of their employees; they have created many perplexing conditions which the people could not change. The net result of the activities of such Boards constrain to the belief that such unlimited power corrupts the possessor and that a partnership with such boards is never safe. A reform is demanded by this Tennessee editor as necessary to the progress of society. He evidently wants the members of such boards to be elected, so that they may be responsible to the general organization. The Baltimore Afro-American voiced its disappointment in Governor Rutche in the following terms: --- Governor Albert C. Ritchie, Democrat, Maryland's chief executive, came into the limelight this week by entertaining the children of the State Capital at an annual Christmas party in Annapolis theaters. But three days before Christmas, Governor Ritchie appointed James A. Walton, white, of Annapolis, to the Board of Managers, of the State Hospital for Negro Insane at Crownville, in Anne Arundel County. Mr. Walton fills the vacancy caused by the death of Harry J. Hopkins, white, of Annapolis a few days ago. Governor Ritchie is running true to form. Speaking over the country advocating the various phases of his State's rights program, he seeks to impress the nation that he is a fit candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. He never has a word to say, however, about the rights of the minority, so that there is not a single state institution under colored management, although at Henryton, the tuberculous hospital, the Melvale School for Girls, and the Crownville Hospital for the Inane all of the patients or inmates are colored. As a governor, Mr. Rutchee has been a disappointment. As a candidate for president, we think he would make a better entertainer of children. Governor Rutchee is evidently not cultivating the goodwill of the colored voters of Maryland. CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Grace Church of Harlem The annual reports showed marked progress and the people pulled to the work during the holiday season. The Christmas and New Year services were unusually interesting. The children enjoyed the bounty of Santa Claus. The choir, directed by Miss Olyne L. Jeter, sang carols and the Y. W. C. Gill gave an early morning prayer. The watchmen were helpful. The pastor watched special sermons on both occasions and was remembered with a special New Years donations. ```markdown ``` January 8 was, a shadowed day, and the audience gathered a bit late, but the dignified service proceeded on time. It was a great day because the people gathered a a to worship. The Scriptures were real reverence. The music was very good and showed a sense of musical discrimination that could only be shared by some one of high musical training. The sermon was an example of what one might call real preaching, i.e., the minister preached from the Bible. He interpreted intelligently. His sermon was listened to with close attention and had a fine influence upon his audience. His appeal was skilier, patient and convincingly eloquent. The response was seven new recruits for Grace Church: Mrs. Cecelia V. Butler, Miss Beatrice A. Butler, Elsie H. Butler, Mrs. V. Cahines Mrs. Maude Iverson Mrs. Louisia Israel and Miss Winnifred Washington. The choir was of wonderful assistance in supporting the minister's appeal. The visitors were numerous, among them two distinguished ladies, Mrs. White and Miss Woodbury, both high officials in the Congregational Church. These made appropriate remarks, and afterwards organized the Angola Woman's Missionary Society, with Mrs. L. M. Garner as president. Twenty-one members enrolled. The Church School had a fine session that occupied all seats, Miss Charlotte Jones and Miss Florence Ewell were among the new additions to the teacher's staff. At 2:30 p. m. the Every Member Canvas began with thirty canvases, to round up the $12,000 budget for 1928. These reported at a dinner at 6:30 p. m. the result of their labors. Some unique experiences were related. From 5 to 7 p. m. a dramatic recital by Mrs. Beatrice Francis of Beulah Wesleyan Methodist Church with musical numbers, was very interesting. The night service was a round table review of 1927 and prospect for 1928. The Church Bulletin carries the announcement that the Rev. Dr. W. H. Dean, superintendent of the Pittsburg District of the M. E. Church will conduct a revival, January 22 to 29, inclusive. Refuge Church of Christ The attendance was good Sunday evening. Eldar Lawson, pastor preached from Hebrews 12:9; "Furthemore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence; Shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of Spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but He for our profit, that we might be partakers of His Holiness." The writer of it's epistle, exhorteth the church (or people of God) here; to endurance, faith, patience, and constancy; regardless of the circumstance that may be. And to endure the church. He hath suffered, the just for the unjust, The Lord Jesus Christ, the Captain of our Salvation, does not call His people out to the hardest trials first, but wisely trains them up by less sufferings to be prepared for the greater. There is a difference in men, women and women and men. I may say that people are able to bear up under the hardest trial, and carry on in spite of the circumstances; while others go down and are crushed and give up hope, but the life that should characterize a saint of God is like that the apostle Paul who said all things would be better, and them that love the Lord; and are called according to His purpose. It behoves us to take notice of the gentleness of Christ in accommodating His people with trustils according to their strength. Though the energy and perseverance may interfere with the gentleness of them they are divine chastisement; The Father of Spirits has His Hand in all, and His wise end to serve by it in all that happens; therefore we are exhorted here to be subject into fun and joy. For that chastenet some good, that we possess the stakes of His divine nature. The apostle commands a careful and submissive behavior in children towards their earthly parents. "We gave their reverence" (even when they corrected us) and that was just after their own pleasure, that they may have the honor of making us their own emblem by the root of direction, or the source of attention. But the Father of Spirits never afflicts willingly the children of men much less His own. Men (or people of the world) are afflicted because of their disobedience to God in not yielding to be saved; but rather being subject to their own passions, and sins, which leads to death, but I say the worldly or the spiritual, or not rather be subject unto the Father of Spirits and live? It is always for our profit; and the advantage He friends for us thereby is no less than us, being partakers of His beings. It is to correct and cure those useful disorders that make us unlike Him and to improve and increase graces which are of the grace of God. At the morning service, Pastor Lawson preached from Proverbs 9: 10. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. For by me their days shall be multiplied, and the years of the life shall be increased." The message was sound and wholesome in doctrine and facts. "The knowledge of this world and things thereof tending to destruction and pride, which perishest; but the wisdom of God gives life, length of days, and increase of years in this life, and eternal life and salvation from sin. Mother Zion Church Services at Mother Zion Church were largely attended on last Sunday, Dr. Brown was the preacher at the morning service. He used as his subject: "The Great Adventure," Genesis 12:5. At its close fifteen persons united with the church. Five children were baptized at this service. The pastor also preached to the Junior Church in the lecture room at 10:30 a.m. upon "A Fresh Start," Church School convened at 2 o'clock. At 3 p.m. the annual mass meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was held. Speakers: Congressman George Holden Tinkham and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois. At 8 p.m. a holy communion were administered. Meditation by Rev. W. H. Batchelor. Two students were married and ten persons communed. The pastor was presented with a liberal Christmas donation at this service. Friday, prayer and praise service. Speaker, Michael I. Hickey, secretary of the League of Another Chance.

Rush Memorial Church Rev. D. A. Lewis, who has been conducting a Week of Prayer at this church filled the pulpit on Sunday. The theme of his discourse "The Proper Attitude Towards Trouble." Romans 5:3, was clearly expounded. Rev. Lewis advises all to take their troubles to God in order to be able to trouble with trouble, nor to aggravate a condition of unrest and turmoil by doing evil for evil. At the Sunday school hour, Rev. Lewis addressed the teachers and children, and about fifteen came forward to join the ranks of the living God, and pledged themselves to work for the Master's cause. The eight retokel service was another of great inspiration, and Rev. Lewis preached himself a sermon using the subject his discourse "Today and Tomorrow." St. Luke 13:33. The Junior Church, under supervision of Miss, Naomi Haynes, is making rapid strides. All parents and guardians are earnestly requested to come out next Sunday morning, clock, and worship with the children. First Emmanuel Church At the 11 o'clock services, Sunday, Pastor Bolden preached from the text: "And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appearneth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring the word; for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt and was there in the city of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt have I called my Son," St. Matthew 21:15. Themes: The Helplessness of God in the Holy Infant." Pastor Bolden said: These verses of scripture are quoted so that we may get the full view of the characters their motives, plans and purposes as related to the Incorpate Baby-Ged. The eternal plan of redemption was brought face to face with the subtle, wicked designs of the devil incarnated in Herod the Great, and the Holy Angel, using the medium of dream, frustrated the wicked designs of the evil one. Certainly it is difficult to conceive how the Almighty God would reveal Himself as a priest, Himself, by his Godly devotion, Himself, by his evil, evil, evil, ever-changing, doing humanity, thus becoming like all other manifestations of life in its vigorous order, obeying the natural laws in the sense world. But according to the words of the text it is true. While most dreams should not receive any tightly considered by people, in this case and many other cases in recorded history and the general life of individuals and groups, a large number of dreams have laid the foundations of great ideas and been the medium through which help and guidance has come to persons and nations, in fact the realm of imagination may be the fertile region from which dreams are motivat- WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH ed. And the manifestation, of creative energy in the sense world as expressed, in physical and mental achievement may be the result of dreams in this realm. But let that be as a reminder. In the case of Mary and Joseph obeying the angel's instruction and warning notice, we are brought face to face with the truth that the human child our Lord Jesus Christ the Emmanuel was a helpless, unconscious God, carried and cared for by loving tender parents and guardian angels, into Egypt, a country that had a rich background of highest learning, that expresses universal, scientific knowledge. A country that abounded with a people full of mysterious thought-force, understanding, a country in which Jehovah, God the Almighty, had displayed His power through the greatest leader, law-giver and deity of the world had ever seen. To this Joseph was told to carry the young child, and stay until God should give him word when to return. So he journeyed. Within us all there dwells the presence of our Lord the Emmanuel. To many, He is a 'helpless, divine thought baby, that is to be cared for and nurtured by holy and righteous principles, so that the spirit of evil may not kill the Holy Baby. May we obey the command to carry this young child into the land of reason and keep it in the atmosphere of ingenuity until our Father God, shall conform him to his life. At 2 p. m. the Sunday was opened by the assistant superintendent, Miss Maggie Johnson. A review of the lesson was given by Miss Carline, Bland. UNION BAPSTAT CHURCH-204-2028 11 Rem.

Heard, bishop of the first episcopal district, from the 38-8 law when they heard this they were prized in the hearts and said unto Peter and to the rest of the Apostles, Men and brethren what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them; Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." The bishop maintained his reputation as gospel preachers in the pulpit to-day. *Clarence Overton assisted by the Male Chorus, rendered "The Sinner and the Song."* There were a large number of conversions and many persons connected themselves with the church.

The Financial Mae Harris directed The Financial Mae Harris made a good report of the work of the church during the second quarter. St. Mark's M. E. Church The evangelistic services which were held each evening the past week, were also held in each department of the church on Sunday. The Rev. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, who is conducting the services, preached at 11 a.m. after which time several of the church's profession of their faith and a service from distant churches also joined. At 2 o'clock, during the Church school hour, Dr. Bowen held a special service for the children. At: 7:45 p. m. communion was administered by the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Joo, W. Robinson, Probation members were also received in full membership. At the conclusion, another short evangelistic service was held by the Rev. Dr. Bowen. Each evening this week services are being held. Calvary M. E. Church Sunday, January 8, marked the beginning of the Great Home Coming Occasion. Mrs. Mildred Henderson made the address of welcome. The large and appreciative congregation was uplifted by the Holy Spirit as the pastor, E. W. Rakestraw, takes away the stone" St. John 11:39. The subject was "Removing the Hindrance." The Junior Church held its first service at 10 o'clock in the lecture room. The service was well attended. Rev. Rakestraw was the preacher. At 2 p.m. the Sunday School convened, at 6 p.m. the Epworth Lodge held, its regular service. At the evening hour the pastor continued the thought of his morning discourse, using as his text St. John 1:42. "And he brought him to Jesus." The theme was "Doing your Bit." The social feature of the Home Coming and Get Together Social given by the officers and members of church in honor of the pastor, Rev. E. W. Rakestraw, was a success. Berean Baptist Church The Rev. D. W. Hoggard of Plainfield, N. J., pastor-elect of the Beren Baptist Church, Bergen street, near Rochester avenue, Brooklyn, preached a highly spiritual and intellectual sermon Sunday morning to an audience that filled the spacious auditorium to more than seating capacity. Rev. Hoggard referred to the words of his text, Second Timothy, 1-12. "For I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." The Rev. Mr. Hoggard has an attractive pulpit style and a convincing manner of speech. That his coming to Berean when he severe his pastoral relations with present church in Plainfield means the beginning of a new consciousness of opinion expressed by scores of persons present at the services Sunday. Rev. Hoggard administered ordinances of the Lord's supper to the membership in the afternoon and then left for Plainfield. The offering for the day was the largest for the past two months. Siloam Presbyterian Ch. Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor, took his text from John 7:11, "The Jews sought to kill Him." The pastor brought out that the world is just, as eager to get rid of the enemy, sufficiently to get rid of Him. One way to get rid of Him is by arguments of denial, others by disposing of Him entirely. Many accept Christ but as, a luxury and wear Him as a cross or charm. Men are trying to kill the Christ influence. Christ can never be injured except from the inside. The Church of Christ can never be injured except by somebody on the inside. The only option that can really hurt you is yourself. The Bible School met in session at 1:15 p. m. The new quarter has begun in the study of the lessons as laid out in graded system.

Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor. He showed that the divisions of the Bible corresponded with the fingers of the hand, the arm, the standing for history, the index finger philosophy, the middle finger for prophecy, the ring finger for life, and the little finger for service. At the evening hour he held that indications show that the world is growing better despite many unusual crises. He cited the increase of sex and symmetry throughout the world and the constant lifting of ideals. Among those uniting with the church recently were Mrs. Nellie Thompson, Mrs. I. C.

Not a factory or enclosure, this is the best and most imperfect measure of Dr. WASHINGTON's work and achievement. The education and annual turning out of two or three hundred young men and women is useful to themselves and their families for a real advance and to form part of what he did and sought to do. His purpose was to radiate from a center like TUSKEGEE the light of the butt but ever giving truth which must form the basis of real advance for his race, for our country, and for WILLIAM HOWARD TAPT, chief justice United States Supreme Court.

MOTON, Principal Tuskegee Institute, Alabama Concord Baptist Church During the Christmas season two fine pieces of work were accomplished by the youth of Concord Church. One was the rendition of the cantata, "The Manger King," under direction of Mrs. R. P. Hamlin, on Christmas Sunday evening. The Choral Society, made up of young people, sang acceptably. Some new tenor and contrator voices were discovered. The other feature was the presentation of the missionary pageant, "Christ in America," under the direction of Mrs. Sarah Russell. The missionary pageant was a carriage, feature and soul of the peoples represented, who all came to Columbia with the plea that she give them here in America the message of Christ, even as she had so nobly sent her messengers to their native land, and pointing out that if she showed them the way they could be received with their message. The services for January 1 and 8 were crowded. Three men were ordained to the deaconate, Robert P. Hamlin, National Y. M. C. Robert A. Secretary; Earl D. Alexander, teacher in 'New York Public Schools; William L. Reese, contractor' and builder. This opening of the New Year promises great things. Fleet Street Memorial A.M.E.Zion Church Religious services conducted in this church on Sunday were highly valued and enjoyed by those who sought the lowest depths of Christian doctrine and who desire to scale the highest heights of Christian experience. And nobly did the pastor, Dr. William, unwear the souls in the delivery of the powerful messages at the morning and evening services. Twelve persons had their names recorded upon the rolls of this church. The work of the church school is progressing with increasing membership. At the close of the session Sunday, the choir were made. At three o'clock a program under the auspices of the Junior Literary Club was enjoyed. Bridge St. A. M. E. Church "The first epistle general of St. Peter 518. "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring牛, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour," formed the basis for the sermon of the pastor Tyler, at the morning hour. The topic was the Caution. The pastor stressed the thought that "We should not be a casaway in this Christian life. That we should be careful in all things, not losing self-restraint, be constantly on the alert, and at all times work for the general spiritual and temporal welfare of the church. It was the first communion service in the church, and the services were "largely attendee" in a private hymn, "My Soul Be on Thy Guard," was used in connection with the sermon. One person joined the church. · At the evening hour the services were given over to the "The Student Convention in Echo."

Among those who spoke were Roland Johnson, son of Dr. Roland R. Johnson, who represented New York University, and Robert Custus, who represented the College of the Arts. He was a borough industrial secretary of the Brooklyn Urban League-Lincoln Settlement, presided. Special music was rendered by the senior choir.

We would like to see that fight but the boys with do their stuff in far off Los Angeles. Paulino has been going great guns lately. In other words he has been knocking over the setups. Godfrey soo has been knocking over the 'green boys lately. As a result of his recent victory over Soldier Jones in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Boxing Commission suspended both Jones and his manager on the charge that Jones was allowed to call through the one round the fight lasted. I don't know whether the Boxing Board of the Golden State is strict or not but if both Paulino and Godfrey are made to fight, this should prove some battle. Pens Like Renaissance Five Bob Douglas' wonder boys, the Renaissance Five, are experiencing their most successful season. There is a question-as to just when the fans like the professional champions most. When they are defeated, the fans seem to get more kick out of the game than they do when they win. Return battles with the teams that they have beaten then—the Catskills, Brooklyn Dodgers, Elizabeth, Pros and the Celtics,—have been played before capacity crowds. Manager Douglas and Captain Hilton Slocum are doe much credit for putting over professional basketball in Harlem. The Original Collegians basketball team won an exciting contest from the Buffaloogs on last Thursday night before a packed lodge at the Reminiscence Casino. The game was the battle for lightweight supremacy. At the end of the first half the MILLS AND RUMNAY ARE STARS AS COLLEGIANS SCALP THE BUFFALOES Trailing by a lone point at the close of the first half the 'Original Collegians defeated the Buffaloes in the most exciting game of the current basketball season, Thursday night. January 5, winning after a hard tussle by a 32 to 34 score. The beautiful Renaissance Casino was backed to the walls with the younger element holding, forth in 'collegiate style.' 'Vernon Audrad's Ballroom Orchestra was there too.' The game opened with the Buffaloes tallying the first score, a goal from the center of the court by Walley 'Carter.' After several minutes of play 'Crip' Runnay came through to cage a neat shot under the basket. The game progressed, and the first timeout found the score tied 18 up. At this stage of the game substitutes were inserted; Lind and Livingston for the Collegians with 'Mungie' Turner of the Buffaloers, replacing Monroe at right guard. (Monroe going to center) Furtures was benched on personal fouls. At the referee's whistle the opposing quintet staged spectacular shots. Mills of the Collegians totaling four fouls, and as many goals. Crip Runnay brilliant throughout the contest, caged five field goals cleanse the system of poisons Two of the great enemies to youth and vitality are delayed elimination and intestinal poisons. To keep yourself free from both these common difficulties will help you to stay young. With the use of Nujol you can do it too. For Nujol absorbs body poisons and carries them off, preventing their absorption by the body: Nujol also kills the wasto matter and brings about normal evacuation. It is harmless; contains no drugs or medicine. It won't cause gas or gripping pain, or affect the stomach or kidneys. Every minute digests Nujol. Nujol is the regular. Look for the Nujol bottle with the label on the back face. You can read right through the bottle. Don't delay, get Nujol today. Speaking of Setups Collegians Impressed Basketball Fans In the Realm of Sport and the Theatre teams stood 18 to 16 with George Ralston's Buffalooes leading. The must say (believe it or not, the Celwriter of this column stood watch over these two crack. quintets and I tues and the Renaissance could never had staged such a brilliant game) throughout the fans were kept yelling and cheering sprecs. Runnay, Wright, Mills, of the Collegians (along with Steele, Holt, Livingston, Lijd) do really know their garden products. This marked the third defeat handed the former champions by the Collegians. Within another forbright the Collegians will do battle-with that famous quintet The Boys Club in a contest to be staged at New Madison Square Garden The Collegians will win—and St. Christopher can take notice that "leather-jackets fear no evil." Did you ever stop at "The Bowl," located on Seventh avenue between 137th and 138th streets? This place is a rival of the Association and other clubs where idle shatter, is the topic of the evening. We fell into a lively discussion there Monday night and the topic that had set things agog was one Lem Salmons, crack welterweight, who has just added another victim to his k. o. list. Though only an amateur, Salmons has engaged in 107 contests and won 55 by the knockout routs. He lost twenty-three, twelve were decision verdicts, and the remainder declared as draws. Quite a record, eh, what? At the new Madison Square Garden recently the Harlem flash defeated Al Moscowit, brother of Lew Moscowit, battling Bronxite, and at the New York Athletic Club's all-star amateur boxing show, Salmons knocked out one Mike Dye in the record time of 9 seconds. He has been boxing under auspices of the Salem Crescent Club, but expects to get his professional license early in February. and two foul shots for the winners (and, incidentally scored the winning shot) with three seconds to go, the 'Harlem Flash' darted down the court, receiving an underhand pass from Walter Wright and caged the final point. Geo. Rajstoods Buffaloes, former lightweight champions, played a brilliant game, and the blue and white quintet came from behind in the last five minutes of play to tie but, only to lose out finally before the passing of the invincible combination of Wright to Mills to Lind to Holt. The shooting honors are laid upon 'Crip' Rumnay, and he seldom failed to score. 'Fats' Tumpy starred along with Wesley Carter for the Buffaloes and between these two sixteen points were gathered. At half time the Buffaloes led 18 to 16. In the preliminary the famous Gibraltar Girls, colored female champions, easily defeated the Mount Calvary Girls Club in a weird contest. Miss Edna Reid of the defeated five proved the lone interesting playing lassle of both tetts caging all but three points for her team. The score 28-15.

Hampton Rolls Up Record Score In Beating N. C. State Hampton Institute, Va.—The Hampton Institute Lasketball team rolled up one of the largest scores in the history of the game when they defeated the North Carolina State College quintet of Durham here Saturday, January 7, by a score of 70-21. Although the score was very FRED DOUGLASS JUNIOR HIGH IS 2nd TIME CHAMP P. S. 139 Boys Easily Repeat Victory In P. S. A. L. Field Games For the second consecutive time, the relay teams from the Frederick Douglass Junior High School, P. S. 139, located on West 140th street near 7th avenue, carried off all honors at the sixth annual junior high school track and field games of the Public School Athletic League, at the 13th Regiment Armory, Brooklyn, on Saturday night, January 7. The Harlem schoolboys won the team trophy with a total of 38 points, 17 more than the Elijah D. Clark Junior High School, which came second. The 400 spectators saw six new league records established. Three of these records were made by Coach Adolph Hodge's champions from the Fred Douglass School. Another record, set in 1923, was also equalled by a Douglass school boy. One of the closest races of the evening resulted in a new record being established in the 440 yard relay, 120 pound class. The team from the Frederick Douglass School, composed of Motley, Cains, Maxwell and Davis, won by a scant yard to set the new record or 30 seconds. This was three-fifths of a second, faster than the old record. Another record made by the Douglass lads was in the midget class of the 400-yard relays. Here Williams, Mosely, Taylor and Stern had things pretty much their own way, finishing 15 yards ahead of the Clark team and lowering the former P. S. A. L. record by 3 and 3-5 seconds. The time for this race was 53 1-5 seconds. The other record by a Douglass representiative was made by Walter Wright, a mite spinner in the 40 yard dash limited to boys of less than 75 pounds. Young Wright won this race with ease and the was timed at five and three fifths seconds. The old record was six seconds. Albert Jassame equalled the record in the 50 yard 105 pound class race when he covered the distance in six and three-fifths seconds. Coach Hodge's boys also won the 880 yard relay, unlimited weight. Austin, Dean Hanks and Pond were members of this team. Cleve Abbott Given Chevrolet Coach For Developing Champion 11 Cleve Abbott Given Chevrolet Coach For Developing Champion 11 Tuskegee Institute, Ala—Football has its rewards other than victories on the gridiron and the cheers of enthusiastic fans. And one who knows that now is Clevie L. Abbott, resourceful coach of the Tuskegee Tigers, for four years undefeated on the gridiron of the nation. Coach Abbott is now driving a handsome 1928 model Chevrolet sedan, the gift of admiring alumni, faculty and friends of Tuskegee Institute. Presentation of the keys to the car was made by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, at a faculty meeting held this week. Dr. Moton thanked the Tuskegee mentor not merely for the victories which his charges had won, but also for the spirit of sportsmanship which he had instilled in the squad, and in the student body as a whole. Coach Abbott, deeply moved by the presentation, expressed appreciation for the gift, and declared that he could not have achieved, such success as had been his without the whole-hearted support of the principal, alumni, faculty and students of Tuskegee. It was with no empty meaning that the audience rose and, led by Principal Moton, sang "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow." Under the interlock of Coach Abbott, who came to Tuskegee in 1925, the Tigers have played 48 football games. Forty-three won, four were tied, and one was lost. The one defeat suffered in four years of competition was early in 1923, when Morehouse College of Atlanta won, 6 to 0. During this four year period, the Tuskegee Tigers have scored 1,246 points against 121 for their opponents. one-sided. the visitors snatched the lead in the first few minutes of the game and kept it for five minutes.

Tribune, For Four Years, Dead Philadelphia, Pa—John M. Howe, for the past four years sports editor, of the Philadelphia Tribune, died Saturday at midnight at his home, 1730 McCulloh Baltimore, after an illness of four weeks. His uncle died heart trouble. The late Mr. Howe was a product of the school system of Baltimore, and a graduate of Lincoln University. He began his newspaper career immediately after graduation from school, working as assistant city editor of The Tribune for one year, after which he was given complete charge of the sports department of that paper. The late Mr. Howe was secretary and one of the founders of the recently organized Eastern Sport Writers Association. Funeral services were held Wednesday. Interment was in Philadelphia. He is survived by his parents and one sister. Morehouse Five Downs Howard University Atlanta, Ga.—The Morehouse five took its fourth consecutive game January 7 when they turned back the fast Howard University machine, 11-27, in one of the most thrilling and colorful displays of passing and ribbling witnessed here in years. The score see-sawed throughout the fray, and often it appeared as though it would go to extra sessions. With bewildering formations built around Beasley, their giant center, and a shooting attack led by Coates at right forward, the Howard five repeatedly overcame the Morehouse leads, ending at the half a '18-15 count in their favor. In the early stages of the second stanza. Howard resorted to ball freezing in an effort to win on the three point margin gained in the first half. Time and again the Maroon tide brought pressure to bear upon them while still deep in Howard's territory. Taking the ball here, under their own basket, the Morehouse forwards managed to tie the count. A brilliant passing attack coupled with spectacular dribbling gave the Bisons a 3 point lead. Sapp at guard was forced to retire. The count was 24-27 for Howard. Almed Brown, a letter man of last year, who has been unable to make the grade this season, went in forward, Captain Dobbs shifting to guard. The presence of Brown gave the Tigers new life, and the entire aggregation rallied. He ran one from the floor, and sent a foal drifting through the straps, evening the count. Woods fouled Brown, while attempting to shoot. Brown made both tries, and then sank one from a very difficult angle on the court, making the count 31-27. Here the shrill cry of the timekeeper's whistle brought the brawl to a close. For Howard, the entire team functioned well; their deceptive passing, and speedy dribbling completely overwhelmed Morehouse at times. Yet the playing of Coates at forward, who took high point; honors with 7 points and Beaver at center, deserves a marking for their contributions; Johnson at guard also played well. For Morehouse, A., Brown was the outstanding star, literally turning defeat into victory in the last five minutes of play scoring the last seven marker, tallied by his team and matching the game from Howard. Supporting him was Traaylor at for- ward who subbed for Crawford, another tower of strength in the Maroon quintet offense, who was forced to discontinue because of excessive personals.

They are just as necessary,to the service which we have paid for us any of the other men connected with its operation, yet uf we fassen- sess did not fee them, their jobs wouldn't ‘be worth two cents, so to speak; at their present wages.” One of the smokers remarked that if tipping on Pullman cars were eliminated that it would have a tendency to lower the service thereon, “It might at first,” agreed the “Cracker” person, “but in time the ser- vice would benefit by it. With a commensurate and adequate wage scale as an attraction, it might not help lo make these old fellows any better than what they are, but it surely would be. an incentive to the young porters. And 1 assume you have traveled considerably in Pull- man cars, and have observed that the old-time porters, like everything _ else, are passing out.” : “Not only on Pullman cars,” he addod, “but every man is worthy of big hire, Here is another instance: Although 1 have lived in the North for over twenty years, Pittsburgh is my present home, I still have my tonsotial work done by a Negro barber, whose.namé is Jones. Now, Jones is an intelligent fellow, but there is one point he cannot stem to grasp, He doesn't get the idea that tip taking lowers the selirespect of the taker. Now, to my mind, the’barber’s profession is just as honorable as any other skilled vocation, but the barbers them- selves undigmify it by accepting tips from thelr,patrons. That has <!- ways impressed me as one of the reasons why the tipping system was all wrong,” concluded the former Georgian, as the train began slow. ing down for Baltimore; and the smoking room of the Pallman became _ empty again, g : ‘ The porter -on-the car wantetl:to know how did the listener enjoy the opinions that were aired. * “immensely”, he was told, “especially those of the Southerner. Of course, I have heard and read much of the same line regarding tips from members of the Negro race, but it was novel, and I must confess, some- what impressive to me to hear the identical thought coming from ana tive of Georgia.” . ¢ .

Faneral services for the late Charles Barnes, veteran Pullman em: ployée, who died on Wednesday, January §, were held at St. Jame: Presbyterian Church, this city, on Sunday, January 7 One of the fea- lures that marked these services was the eulogy rendered over the’ re: mains of th deceasd by a man whom the late veteran had befriended when the man really needed a friend, ‘The eulogist was Principal George Lyle of the Simith Schoo! of Philadelphia, who came specially to New York to pay his last tribute vi respect to the late Fullman man. Prof, Lyle’s eulogy, which was de livered with a sincerity of fecling which was obvious to the entlée con: gregation of mourners, was as filting a tribute of praise, to the life o| the dead rhan as could have been conceived.
