The mayor stated with emphasis, "That the destiny of nation, state and city does, after all, depend upon the faithful ministries of the church."

Invited To White Churches. Dr. Harten is the first colored preacher in the history of the city to be invited to go to the State Armory. The overcrowding of the Ebbeneer Baptist Church and the great numbers clamoring to hear the noted preacher, was the reason that the State Armory was thrown open to accommodate the multitudes, and there they clamored and struggled to gain even standing room. Scores of students from the tendance, Rutgers University, the College for Women, the Preparatory School, and the Theological Seminary. There was a request made that the Rev. Dr. Harten would preach in the white churches, feeling it would mean much to New Brunswick, since the white people attended the meeting in such large numbers.

He is not able to accept the many invitations coming in from all parts of the country.

I.—Saturday afternoon, February 11, two police officers, William A. Fyynn and James H. O'Brien, were fatally shot by Nathan Brown, a Negro, at his residence, 9 Booth street. According to police, the officers were in plain clothes and were members of the liquor raiding squad. They said that Brown was not at home when they entered, but came in while they were searching the house. When Brown saw his wife, holding her 8 months old baby in her arms, watching the policemen searching for evidence, he fired at them, police say, fatally injuring two of them. Police reserves arrived at the house with tear gas bombs and riot guns. They entered the house and found Brown hiding under the sink in the kitchen. He was taken to the police station, guarded by reserves. Brown is 22 years old, and came from North Carolina. His wife is only 18 years old. 75 Representative Races Attend Inter Meeting In Alabama Birmingham, Ala.—The best annual meeting in the history of the has just been held here; with sev interracial movement in Alabama entry-five representative leaders of the two races in attendance. Among the evidences of progress reported were increasing attention to interracial questions by religious, civic and other groups; a sympathetic press; freedom from churchs; improved educational conditions, with lengthening of terms, increases in salary, and better teacher training and classification; and better prospects for the establishment of a home for delinquent girls. In addition, reports were heard from a number of counties, indicating an encouraging growth of interracial goodwill and cooperation. Mobile, for example, reported that an extensive paving program was being carried out in the Negro areas, that library facilities are soon to be provided in connection with the new quarter-million dollar city library now going up that a fire protection unit has recently been placed in the Negro section, and that fuller provision will be made for Negro patients in the tuberculosis sanitarium.

WOMEN OFFICIALS OF 137th STREET Y ARE HOSTS TO MINISTERS OF VARIOUS DENOMINATONS IN CONFERENCE LUNCH WOMEN OFFICIALS OF 137th STREET Y ARE HOSTS TO MINISTERS OF VARIOUS DENOMINATONS IN CONFERENCE LUNCH ST. MARTIN'S CHAPEL 230 Lenox Avenue—122nd Street Opening Service, February 19th—11 a.m. JOHN HOWARD JOHNSON, Minister This year-as last-the members of the Interdenominational Ministerial Conference were invited to a lunch-con with members of the Committee of Management and the staff of the West 137th street branch of the Y. W. C. A. The luncheon took place on Monday, February 6, at 1:30, in the blue dining room, which adjoints the cafeteria. A delicious meal was prepared and served by the Cafeteria staff. Discussion has come to be considered a vital force in "oiling the wheels of the world" and it is, undoubtedly, the only medium of understanding which we know. To bring our problems out into the light and look at and discuss them from every angle is to solve them. As Mrs. William H. Worthham, chairman of the branch, brought out in her words of welcome to the ministers. The church is the organized head of the Christian religion and the Y. W. C. A. one of the necessary agencies through which many of the principles of the church may be carried out. They have, therefore, much in common and Mrs. Worthham made a strong plea for the opportunity to talk things over together and for the sympathy and co-operation of the church. The Rev. Mr. A. C. Garner, pastor of the Grace Congregational Church, and chairman of the Ministerial Conference, presided. Mrs. Wortham's words of welcome were responded to by three members of the Conference: the Rev. J. W. Brow of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, who spoke of the dangers to girls found in large cities and need for such an organization: the Rev. Richard Manuel Bolden of the 1st Emmuel Church, and the Rev. J. G. Ryder of the United Episcopal Church Secretary Presents Work Certain phases of the work of the branch were presented by Mrs. Cecelia Cabanis Saumers, the general secretary, Mrs. Saumers talked about the program of the branch from the standpoints of the two kinds of service it gives the services for which it charges and which, therefore, may be termed income producing, and the services for which there is no charge, making them non-income producing. She told of 593 people referred to investigated rooms last year, and called attention to the considerable effort and expense required for the investigation of rooms in New York where people move so frequently; she told of 169 special Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Mrs. Carrie S.

Mrs. Ramsey is the first woman to receive this appointment. She succeeds her husband, the late Major Julius B. Ramsey, who for a number of years was commandant of cadets at Tuskegee, but who at the time of his death was engaged in field work for the school. cases handled mental cases, cases resulting from unemployment, run-away girls, etc.; she told of the temporary shelter given to several hundred girls and women, and of club and recreation facilities given to more than four hundred girls under eighteen and to many older women. Mrs. Saunders mentioned the privilege of a warm attractive lobby which this community enjoys. All of these things, Mrs. Saunders explained, were non-income producing and made possible only by the money raised in the campaign each year. A Community Connection The secretary next raised the question of whether it would be wiser to increase fees in income producing departments, such as cafeteria, employment Emma Ransom House, education etc. so that the deficit caused by other types of social service might be covered, making the Branch entirely self supporting and a campaign unnecessary. She then threw out the counter question as to whether it would be wise for such an organization conducted by humans who at best must be frail and faulty to be entirely independent of the community in which it functions for its support. She asked if it were not true, perhaps, that a financial campaign, burdensome as it seemed was a big force for creating a bond of sympathy and interest between the community and the organization. Did not a community contributing to a social agency feel this agency its own in a much more vital sense? The significance of these questions speaks for itself! C Mrs. Saunders closed her talk on a note of thanksgiving! She expressed the deep gratitude felt in the branch that this year a goal, long desired, had been reached when the work was community supported, the difference between expenditure and income of $7,500 being given entirely by this community. Mrs. Saunders spoke of the natural race pride felt in supporting our own institutions, and also of the practical advantages since "He who pays the fiddler may call the times" The conference was brought to a close by Rev. Garner, who thanked the committee for its hospitality and expressed appreciation for the delicious luncheon prepared and served by the cafeteria staff. The Rev. F. A Cullen of the Salem M. E. Church pronounced the benediction. This was the second point conference of this group of ministers and the Committee of Management and staff of the Y. W. C. A. Firestone Rubber Co.

WOODSON IS AWARDED VERDICT TO RECOVER LOAN $675 Loaned In 1923 Becomes $929 Before It Is Recovered MRS WOODSON AWARDED On February 8, 1928, Mrs. Florence Charlton Woodson of 405 Cumberland street. Brooklyn, was paid $29.02 in full settlement of her claim against the National Security Co., which company had furnished bond for Attorney Samuel F. Edmard of 531 Classon avenue in an action instituted in the Municipal Court. 2nd District, Brooklyn, by Mrs. Woodson to recover the sum of $675 which she was alleged to have loaned Edmard on February 21, 1923, on a promissory note, which sum she asserted had never been repaid. Mrs. Woodson was represented by Refus L. Perry of 375 Vulton street on August 8, 1927, the note, as shown by a photostat copy, having been due since August 21, 1923. It was alleged that Edmard had borrowed the sum of $675, giving a note which read: "February 21, 1923. "Received 'from Mrs. Florence C. Woodson the sum of $675 as a loan for six months, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. Due and payable August 21, 1923. Value received." SAMUEL F. EDMEAD. Claimed Note Was Void. In reply the summons and complaint, Edmead, as his own lawyer, filed an answer admitting delivery of the writing, but denying that it constituted a promissory note since no consideration in return for the note had been given and that therefore it was null and void. In addition, Edmead set up a counter-claim that he had advanced $1,000 to Mrs. Woodson "for her use and benefit," but with no further specification, declaring that, in consequence Mrs. Woodson was indebted to him in that sum. But on September 12, 1927, the case coming to hearing, a verdict was rendered by default in favor of Mrs. Woodson for the sum of $940.02, which included interest on the original sum sued for. The next move came on December 30, 1927, when Attorney Edmead, still appearing in his own behalf, appeared before Justice Lawrence C. Fish in the Gates Avenue Court and asked for a vacation of the verdict given Mrs. Woodson, and restoral of the case to the calendar. This was argued on January 5, 1928, with Attorney Berry arguing against the granting of Edmead's request. Reopened The Case. On January 13, Justice Fish handed down his decision in the matter of reopening the default, granting Edmead's request, but only on condition that on or before January 18, he, Edmead, deposit on approved surety company bond condition to pay any judgment which Mrs. Woodson might win on retrial of the action. It was further ordered that in the event of a suitable surety bond being filed, the case be restored to head of the calendar for retrial on January 25. This bond was filed for Mr. Edmead by the National Surety Co. on January 14, and approved on the 17th.

Half-Naked Children "Possess White Soul Of Childhood" and Are Poorly Dressed Since Parents Have Been Robbed by Americans The recent visit of Col. Charles Lindbergh, the American aviator, to Porto Rico on his air trip of goodwill through Central American countries and the West Indies, gave the Boston Traveler opportunity to publish the picture of two little naked and half-naked Porto Rican children, standing in the jungle, with a caption saying that they were "ready to receive Col. Lindbergh in case he should land When copies of this paper reached Porto Rico, the citizens of that island were stirred to indignant protest against what they considered an affront to Porto Ricans. This feeling was expressed in a letter written by Jose Davila-Rici, director of La-Democracia, San Juan, to the editor of the Bottom paper, protesting against the use of the photograph, and denying that the children -portrayed representative ones. His letter, with a remembrance of the photo, was printed in La Democracia, in the original Spanish.

GORDON WOOD, VICTORY LIFE OFFICIAL, DEAD Pioneer Auditor-Actuary Victim of Tuberculosis In Chicago By. CHAS. A. SHAW. Chicago, Ill.—James Garland Wood, auditor-actuary of Victory Life Insurance Company, passed into the Great Beyond on Saturday morning, February 4, at 9.15 a.m. In the passing of "Garland," as he was known to his friends, the race loses a brilliant student, his friends a loyal conrade, and the world a clean living and square shooting character. Coming to Chicago in August, 1926, as auditor of Victory Life Insurance Company he soon demonstrated his capacity to fill the position for which he had been selected, working and been hired with his colleagues in their determination to build an outstanding financial institution. During the year and a half of his connection with the company he had succeeded in thoroughly organizing the auditing and actuarial departments and had just reached that point in his career when life promised most, when he, and his associates as well, was shocked at the news that he had become a victim to "the white and with the same service and philosophic men with which he always approached a problem, he resigned himself to this hard blow and began to wage a battle for life that ended on Saturday morning. Born In Arkansas. Mr. Wood was born in Cotton Plant, Ark., on April 4, 1901, the son of a prosperous farmer. After attending the public school of that rural section, he enrolled in Howard University where he completed his high school and college course. For his life work he selected the course of study in preparation for this work matriculated at New York University where he entered, the School of Commerce, majoring in life insurance. Always a serious student, he plunged into the work of his course, specializing in that most technical phase of life insurance, actuarial science. After graduating from New York University, he posited a position as bookkeeper with Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga. During the two years of his stay there he served in the capacity of bookkeeper, accountant, and was later made head of the conservation department of the actuarial field, and because of his fitness for the work was offered the position of auditor-actuary of Victory Life Insurance Company. He was an enthusiastic member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity being one of their national officers for several years. Services In Chicago.

SMITH PLAY Play is a universal and irrepressible expression of young animals. Witness the antics of Tabby the kitchen with the spool of thread, or of Toby the pup as he races up and down the yard barking at every passby. This pattern is enjoyable to the human infant also as many a child-weary mother can testify. This tendency is so deep-seated that it may be said that a child does not choose to play but the MUST play. Play is the gateway to health. Play unlocks the door of education. Play prepares the social adjunct to self-sufficiency in many ways to look to play in one's attempt to understand it. PLAY IS A SAFETY VALVE. When a locomotive is on the run it uses up its accumulated energy in he form of steam which makes the wheels go around. But when it comes to a standstill at the station this accumulation of energy must be relieved or the boiler would burst, so there is the familiar blowing-off by one way the child plays in order to relieve himself of play-up energy. PLAY IS A METHOD OF EDUCATION. The infant does not play because it is young, says Prof. Groos of Germany, but it is young in order that it may play. The lower down the scale of animal life we go to play, do find and the more evidence it does become that many new-born animals start out, with ability to form the same acts that the adult animal does. As life becomes more complex the state of helplessness called infancy appears in order that the young animal may have time to acquire skills and build a home. They had to climb trees and ford streams and flee the vengeance of wilder? animals. These tendencies to climb and run are found in the fish and hunt are present in a small way in the play of children. Play and recreation are not the same thing. The latter is a relief from serious work. Play is the child's work. The child's play WAS the work of our ancestors. Play is a preparation for living for it is a re-living of life; play prepares us to it is parental activity; the activities of the school room. For in the study of antithetic, for example, only a few brain cells and the muscles of the hand and arm are in use. Not so in play. Here every muscle in the body and every part of the brain are brought into use. There are many by-products of play that have social value in the child's life. The democracy, fair play, respect for authority, cooperation for a given end. In play the child finds an outlet for his natural curiosity, his creative and fighting instincts. Nor can we ignore the value of rhythm and song and the dance and pattern that are parts of many games in giving the child an appreciation of life. We may say then that PLAY IS A PREPARATION FOR LIFE'S WORK. There is a fifth interpretation of play, the so-called RELAXATION THEORY of Patrick, which combines much of what we have said already. For example this author says, (1) That Play is free, spontaneous, self-developing, kind self-rewarding, and is inclusive of practically all of the child's activities and many of those of adults (2) That child play and adult sport should be closely correlated St. Augustine Now A Full-Fledged College Raleigh, N.

Goold, of St. Augustine's, that at a meeting of the board of trustees of the school, held on January 31, it was unanimously voted to inaugurate a full four years college course as a part of work of the institution, and to change its corporate name to St. Augustine's College. St. Augustine's was originally chartered as St. Augustine's Normal School and Collegiate Institute in 1867. The articles of incorporation were signed by Governor Jonathan Worth, and his secretary, William H. Bagley. Among the incorporators were such prominent North Carolina businessmen as the kingsman Rev. R. T. Mason rector of Christ Church, Raleigh, Gen. William Ruffin Cox, Dr. Kemp Battle, president of the University of North Carolina, Rev. Joseph B. Chesire, father of Bishop Chesire, Dr. Aldert Smedes, founder of St. Mary's School, John Wilkes of Charlotte, and Richard H. Smith of Scotland Neck. St. Augustine's is now an accredited junior college, so that with the addition of two years of college work full college rank will be attained. The Institution is the oldest of a number conducted for Negro Education in various parts of the South under the auspices of the Episcopal Church. Connected with it already are St. Agnes Hospital, with its training school for nurses, and the Bishop Tuttle Training School for religious and social service workers. The annual enrolment is between four and five hundred. Bishop Chesire of North Carolina has been president of the board of trustees for over thirty years. and explained on the same principles. (3) That the play activities of both child and adult "send to take the forms of old racial activities, involving brain tracets that are older well-worn, and previous." Work involves sustained attention and controlled association. These are fatiguing. Play represents energy taking place of least resistance. Children's attention is the power for sustained attention therefore they play. Play is a regenerative, 'recreative, diversional and relaxational. With these ideas in mind Mother your child's play will no longer be a source of annoyance to you, but a necessary expression of natural functions which you can take pleasure in directing.

Speaking on the "The Negro Religion" influence for American Religion" Dr.SON said that the presence of the Negro in America offered white christians an opportunity to practice the cardinal principle of christianity, the brotherhood of man. But the Protestant Church in America had been so cowardly they dared not take the lead in the fight to abolish slavery, and after the civil war had so completely ignored the principle of the brotherhood, were not permitted to worship the white churches, but were forced to establish churches of their own. Northern Church Draws Line Dr. Johnson said that it was hardly reasonable for the religious organizations of the South to be expected to invite Negroes into their churches and accept them as Christian brothers, but since many of the denominations in the North had split with their southern brothers over the question of slavery, those that did come out against this evil had been expected to accept the Christianity they had preached. Instead of inviting the Negroes who came North into their churches, the white Northern Christians had taken the same attitude toward the ex-slaves as the former southern Christians into the balconies or forcing them to establish their own, places of worship. The decline of Christianity in America, the speaker said, is due a large measure to religious leaders who take a courageous and Christian-like attitude on the race question. Answered Many Queries The speaker was introduced by the Rev. John Haynes Holmes, pastor of the Community Church, and at the conclusion of the address, a number of questions were submitted from those in the audience. These questions, although requested along the same subject as the address, ranged all the way to the carve movement to the Garvey movement. Never-the-less, the speaker was eloquent and logical in his replies. The address was part of the celebration of Lincoln's Birthday at Constipation Often Causes Sickness "About fifty years ago," says Mr. Lewis G. O'Mields, of Portorville, Ala., "my mother gave me the first dose of Black-Draught, and I have taken it ever since, when I needed a medicine for constipation. I have used this remedy all my married life, in raising my children. "I have used Black-Draught frequently for heartburn, as I have had spells of this kind, of cold, and it has been indigestion, and indigestion comes close on constipation. "I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught in time. It relieves me of dizziness, tightness in the chest and backache. "By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order. I always keep it in my pocket and have recommended it in my time. I always say a good word for a good medicine." the Community Church, which, like most of the white churches in the city, welcomes worshipers of all races and creeds to its services. The audience, Sunday night, was about equally divided between white and colored people, and there were many of Howard present. We greet the president of their alma matter.

Rivers of 36 West 44th street, the Grand Lodge, Daughter Elks, have started a fight to set aside the verdict of $7,500 and costs, (amounting to $43.50) which was won on January 4, 1928, by Mrs. Jennie Holt, a former member of Invincible Temple, No. 77, of this city for alleged slander. Wednesday of this week Attorney Rivers made a motion before Justice Aaron J. Levy in the Supreme Court to reopen the case on the grounds that the defendant had never been served. Mrs. Holt, who is represented by Attorney Ruth Whitehead Whale, contends that services was made on Mrs. Emma V. Kelby, the grand secretary, when the action was first started in June, 1921. The matter has been referred to a referee for a decision. Trouble Started in 1919. The trouble started in 1919 during the grand lodge convention at Atlantic City. At that time charges were preferred against Daughter Holt for alleged conduct unseeming a member of that fraternity. The grand lodge recommended to the subordinate order that Mrs. Holt be suspended for a period of 99 years. This action was subsequently taken. At that time Mrs. Holt secured the services of the late Wilford H. Smith, who in 1921 began an action for alleged libel and slander because of the publication of the alleged charges and recommendations against the complainant in the minutes of that grand lodge session. In an affidavit filed with the court, Mr. Smith said that papers in the action were served on Mrs. Emma V. Kelly, the grand secretary. However, the action was not pushed by the late Mr. Smith, and it was not until after his death in 1926, when Mrs. Holt secured Attorney Wrailey, that the matter was brought to trial. Since the grand lodge contends they were never served, no defense was ever entered, on January 4- of this year, an inquest was held before a sheriff's jury, which resulted in the $7,500 verdict in Mrs. Holt's favor. Charge Action Was "Bluff" The Daughter Elks, who at first did not take the court action seriously, are now determined that Mrs. Holt shall not collect one cent. They contend that her first attorney never began the action with any intention of going through with it but rather as a bluff to force the reinstalment of his client to good standing in the order. As evidence of this contention they point out that Mr. Smith let the matter drag from 1921 to the time of his death five years later. But Mrs. Whaley defends her predecessor in this case for his slothfulness on the grounds that his health was failing and this presented him from keeping up his work. Invincible Temple, No. 77, is the auxiliary to Monarch Lodge, No. 45, and is one of the largest subordinate bodies of the Grand Lodge, 'Daughter Elks. Much interest' is being manifested in this case by Daughter Elks throughout the country.

Public Warned of False Piano Offers The proprietor of the Lazar Music Shoppe Inc., located at 312 West 945th street, N. Y. City, calls attention to an interesting article in the Detroit Bulletin, a paper, published by the Better Business Bureau of Detroit. The article describes practices which, according to Mr. Lazar, are not only common in the middle-west but in this city too. It is what is commonly known as "bait-advertising", and its purpose is to draw people to the store. When the prospect attempts to purchase the advertised article, he is persuaded to buy something else. The article cited the finding of a piano company found guilty of violating Michigan's State advertising law. It had been the practice of the company to advertise a player piano for sale from $270 to $345. Complaints were frequent of the customers being unable to obtain delivery of the advertised player Business Bureau Investigates Ione Oldham, shopper for the Better Business Bureau, started an investigation and went to the company to purchase the piano and was given a contract which she signed. After the contract was signed she was told that the piiano was undesirable, that the keys were celluloid instead of ivory, that the tubing was rubber, and that it would cost her a lot of money to keep it in condition. Mrs. Oldham was further told that the player was not, guaranteed and was advised to buy another player. The salesman referred to the advertised player as being "for the nigger trade only", not knowing that Mrs. Oldham was colored. As husband's signature was neces- on the contract. Mrs. Oldham returned with her husband at a later date and was told that the original contract could not be located. Firm Was Convicted The company tried to persuade her to buy another piano but when this failed, they produced a second contract which both Mr. and Mrs. Oldham signed. They were guaranteed A HIGHEST IN SERVICE LOWEST IN PRICE 205 West 135th Street AT SEVENTH AVENUE Singles, $1.25 and up per night. Our Wonderful Dining Room can be leased for a number of years. ```markdown ``` prompt delivery. When it was evident that the company were purposely holding up delivery, the manager of the store was summoned to the Bureau's Office. The manager called Mrs. Oldham immediately by phone and promised to have the piano sent immediately. The Bureau on the complaint of Mrs. Oldham, and several others who had been baited, took the matter into court and the advertising was adjudged false and the company fined $100. Mr. Lazar's warning is for people to beware of the company which practices "baiting". New York Group To Raise Funds To Aid Fisk Univ. Expansion --- A group of alumni and friends of Fisk University met on Saturday, February 11, to work out plans to secure funds for the University.

Two Stills Found In 129th St. House Wrecked By Fire Two Stills Found In 129th St. House Wrecked By Fire About forty people—were made homeless as a result of an early morning fire which wrecked the five-story tenement building at the southwest corner of 129th street and Seventh avenue, Wednesday, February 15. Although the origin of the fire had not been determined when The Age went to press, it was thought to have been due to the explosion of a still, as the police found the wrecked parts of one still and another in perfect condition in apartments of the building after the fire had been gotten under control. There was also a saloon in the corner store on the ground floor, known as the "Elks of the World" cafe. It was wrecked by the smoke and water. Many of the tenants were forced to leave their homes partly clad, and those who dived on the two top floors lost all their furnishings and clothes. The other floors were mostly damaged by water. The building is owned by a Hezekiah Craigg, a Harlem real estate broker. Oscar Benson, Former Newspaper Man Held For Manslaughter --- Oscar Benson, 40 years of age, of 258 West 150th street, is in the Tombs Prison awaiting a hearing as a result of an altercation with Robert Dupree of 2427 Seventh avenue Sunday morning, February 12. Benson is charged with manslaughter and will be given a hearing in the Heights Court Friday. According to Benson, Dupree accosted him at his news stand, 142nd street and Seventh avenue, in a drunken condition and tried to start a fight. He implored the man to move on and even sent a boy to call a policeman. When Dupree saw this he is alleged to have become enraged and rushed at Benson, who grabbed a piece of iron pipe and struck the man across the head. Dupree was taken to Harlem Hospital where it was feared at first that his skull had been fractured. His condition grew steadily worse until noon on Wednesday when he died. Benson was for a number of years connected with the New York office of the Chicago Defender and was later city editor of The New York News. He has secured the services of Alderman John Clifford Hawkins to defend him in the case.

Urban League Urges New Dwellings Law Various, social service and welfare agencies are vitally interested in the New Dwellings Law of 1928, which it is expected the State Assembly will have up for consideration about: February 21. To stimulate general interest, the New York Urban League, James H. Hubert, secretary, is holding a mass meeting on Monday night, February 20, at Salem M. E. Church, when Lawson Purdy, secretary, Commission to Examine and Revise the Tenement House Law, will speak. The projected law, which is to take the place of the tenement house law passed in 1901, is to apply to all buildings in which people live, without regard to character, and its supporters urge that it sets up standards calculated to protect the health and well-being of all tenants, at the time safeguarding the interests of the landlord. Harlemites are urged to attend the meeting Monday night, and in the meantime write the Assemblyman and Senator from your district, together with legislative leaders, Speakers J. A. McGinnis and Senator John Knight, at Albany, requesting their support of this measure. Dr. and Mrs. Jacob Ross Welcomed At P. S. 136 After Trip Abroad Dr. and Mrs. Jacob Ross Welcomed At P.

DON'T MISS THE OPENING SERMON Mrs. Woodson Is Awarded Verdict To Recover Loan (Continued From First Page) The case came up for hearing on January 25, with Justice John R. Farrar presiding, and after hearing the evidence, Justice Farrar handed down a decision requiring Mr. Edmead to pay the sum of $929.02 on January 26. This, it is alleged, was not done, and an execution against the property of Samuel P. Edmead was returned unsatisfied. Accordingly, on February 7, a summons was served upon the National Surety Co. in a suit to compel the payment of the judgment. And on the next day, a representative of the company called Mrs. Woodson's attorney, Mr. Perry, and notified him that a check was being drawn to pay the full $929.02 and made a request that the suit be not filed. So. on receipt of the payment, the action against the Surety Co. was discontinued. 64th Aniversary Of K. of P., E. & W.

This has made it difficult for the New York Republican leaders to carry out their plan of having an uninstructed delegation, favoring Mr. Coolidge as subject to the draft. Considerable sentiment has been manifested for ex-Governor Lowden of Illinois, while a few leaders like former Senator Calder have pronounced in favor of Secretary Hoover. Either of these two men would make an acceptable candidate so far as the Negro voters of the North are concerned, judging by their past record on public questions affecting race interests. The fact that such Southern politicians as Benjamin J. Davis of Georgia and Perry Howard of Mississippi have declared publicly for Hoover, indicates that they regard him as heir to Mr. Coolidge's strength. Both of these men are well versed in politics, and as members of the Republican National Committee they know which way the wind blows. Boston Digest Orridge's Agency, No. 17 Green Street Lacombe Square, London, W. C. 2. LOUISIANA LILYWHITES FOILED. According to a report in the Louisiana Weekly, published at New Orleans, the recent attempt of the Lilywhite Republicans to oust Walter L. Cohen as a member of the Republican State Central Committee came to sudden grief. The meeting was called for the express purpose of declaring invalid the primary held in Orleans and two adjacent parishes and drew a large attendance. The forces arrayed against Cohen were led by Emile Kunz, Republican National Committeeman; Victor Loisel, United States marshal, and a number of former stalwart Republicans, who after having availed themselves of the aid of colored man to attain their aims, now are busy shouting "White Leadership." The Presidential contest so far looks like a free for all fight in the primaries, with Lowden and Hoover in the lead, the former having the advantage of strength with the Western farmers, while the latter is credited with the favor of the Coolidge adherents. The Negro voters are chiefly interested in having the right type of American chosen for the nominee, and whether his record promises a fair deal so far as racial interests are concerned. Governor Lowden demonstrated that he met these requirements while Governor of Illinois, and Mr. Hoover as Secretary of Commerce has made a record for fair dealing in the matter of flood relief for the sufferers on the banks of the Mississippi. The principle of a fair deal and no favors is more important than the personality of the candidate. There should be no more pussyfooting and extending a glad hand to fool the trusting voter. The Republican leaders should put an end to the present state of confusion by getting together and uniting on a candidate, who can command the confidence of all voters who believe in the principles of Republicanism. Walter Cohen is the only representative of the race holding a Presidential appointment in the South, he having been nominated by President Harding as Comptroller of Customs for the Port of New Orleans. The appointment was finally confirmed after the death of Harding and its renewal by President Coolidge, over the opposition of the two Democratic Senators from Louisiana. Committeeman Kunz was at that time working in cooperation with Mr. Cohen, who had aided him in securing other Federal appointments in that state. A NEW DWELLINGS LAW. The new bill for the revision of the old Tenement House law of 1901 is now before the New York Legislature for action this month. The proposed law makes a number of changes and sets up new standards to protect the health and wellbeing of thousands who live in old law tenements. It has elicited active support among those organizations having the welfare of the community at heart, notably the Urban League. It has also aroused considerable opposition among real estate interests, who complain of the expense to which it will put owners and in the end tenants, who will have to shoulder the increased building costs. The new bill for the revision of the Old Tenement House law of 1901 is now before the New York Legislature for action this month. The proposed law fakes a number of changes and sets up new standards to protect the health and wellbeing of thousands who live in old law tenements. It has elicited active support among those organizations having the welfare of the community at heart, notably the Urban League. It has also aroused considerable opposition among real estate interests, who complain of the expense to which it will put owners and in the end tenants, who will have to shoulder the increased building costs. The new bill is comprehensive in its scope, applying to all buildings in which people dwell, fireproof and non-fireproof apartments, apartment hotels, transient hotels, boarding houses, converted dwellings, two-family houses and frame houses. Its purpose to protect health of occupants is emphasized by the statement that it seeks to provide homes with more air and better sanitary facilities. It supplements the Building code, which is designed principally to insure structural safety. The new law is intended to protect the interests of both landlord and tenant. The landlord who desires to give his tenants good light and air will find it easier to do so, because of the restrictions against his neighbor borrowing his light or shutting off his air. Some of the social consequences of the proposed law are cited as follows: Prevents the growth of future slums. Abolishes yard toilets. Improves toilet facilities in "old law" ten- Since then however there appears to have been a split in the friendly relations formerly existing between Mr. Cohen and his Republican allies, some of whom appear to have been inoculated by the rabies of Lilywhitism. Hence the repeated attempts to get Mr. Cohen out of office and out of Louisiana politics by any means possible. It was even attempted to frame him for alleged violation of the prohibition act, which was soon exposed as a political conspiracy and the charges pronounced groundless. That Mr. Cohen retains much of his political strength, despite these Lilywhite ambushes, was shown when the State Chairman read the returns from the recent primary, which showed that the Cohen forces "had carried everything in sight." National Committee Kunz had been one of the powers to agree to the holding of this primary, but later desired that the results should not be recognized. Another opponent of Cohen, Commissioner of Immigration Tuttle, lost his race, for membership in the State Central committee, hence his opposition to recognizing the results. Evidently these Louisiana Lilywhites don't want to play politics unless they are assured of winning. We trust that Mr. Cohen will maintain the ascendency that he won in the primary.

Abolishes wallee fire work. Restricts occupancy. Insures better light and air-conditions in new houses by requiring wider courts and deeper yards. Protects health of women and children by reducing permitted heights of walk-ups to 50, 11, and 51 stories. Restricts celar occupancy. Insures better light and air-conditions in new houses by requiring wider courts and deeper yards REPUBLICAN DISORGANIZATION. The state of disorganization rampant in the Republican party indicates that a strenuous light is imminent to control the nomination for the presidency. The action of the United States Senate last week, in adopting a resolution, putting a ban upon the third term for any President, is construed by some as a means of defeating the plans of those wily politicians who would draft Mr. Coolidge to serve their selfish purposes: At the same time, it is also argued that in the absence of a strict definition of what constitutes a third term, it is an open question whether Mr. Coolidge comes under the ban. Conserves health of women and children by baking 100 calories of heights of walk-ups to keep 100 calorie shorts. Prevents duplication of extension of mushroom wooden housing prevalent, in the newer parts of the city. Epiphowers Tenement House Department to require repaperening and repainting of walls when necessary. Requires carpets in public halls to be cleaned periodically. Requires front door bell to be in working order and also apartment bells, if any are are furnished Requires daily garbage removal by owners. Authorizes Department to make repairs where owner delays to remedy conditions dangers to life or health. Prevents overcrowding of rooms. Friends implication of standard requirements to rooming, lodging, and boarding houses. Restricts high buildings on narrow fots. Encourages high buildings only when sofi Most of the politicians, however, ex- cuest light, and air are permanently guaranteed. All of these requirements appear to be reasonable and of a nature that a careful property owner would make of his own accord, in order to keep his property in good condition and his tenants contented. None of them seems to entail any onerous burden on the landlord, unless he is of that kind that regards all money spent in improvements as a total loss. That kind of policy is not a paying one in the end as it results in dissatisfied tenants; frequent changes and inevitable loss of rent, besides the running down of the property. The only valid objection raised to the new bill that we have seen, came from the Brooklyn Real Estate Board, which claims to have discovered that the double brick house for three to six families, long regarded as one of the most practical and economical types of dwellings on two city lots, will be practically prohibited. Thousands of these houses have been constructed in Brooklyn and Queens for tenants of moderate means. Whether some way cannot be found to avoid this difficulty, if this type of house possesses all the advantages claimed for it, is for the Legislature to determine. The proposed measure has so many points of advantage for the average city dweller, that these should outweigh any minor defects and ensure its passage. It would be well for those in whose interest the measure was drawn to make their approval of it manifest by writing to the member of the Legislature from their district, asking him to vote for the New Dwellings Bill. SELFISH LEADERSHIP A MENACE. In the Age of last week appeared a letter from an enrolled Republican of the Nineteenth assembly district, in which was voiced the dissatisfaction felt by many voters with the present system of leadership. His complaint was that, notwithstanding the fact that ninety percent of the voting population is colored, they are being exploited by white leaders, who ignore the rights of the majority and grab most of the political patronage. The same thing is alleged to exist in the Twentyfirst district, where the colored voters constitute two-thirds of the party strength. This situation is bound to breed dissatisfaction and resentment among the voters who are thus ignored and exploited and to bring about open revolt, unless a more equitable policy is adopted by the present leaders. The writer of the letter referred to got at the root of the matter by asking the following pertinent questions: Why should we who contribute the only Republican vote in this community be unrepresented by one of our own in the party councils? Why should we supply the votes and the white men and women get all the jobs? Is our citizenship birthright worth anything? Citizenship, whether a birthright or otherwise acquired, is only worth what the citizen can make it worth by the proper use of the ballot. The citizens of the two Harlem districts referred to have the remedy for their present plight in their own hands. They can use their ballots so effectively, both in the primaries and in the elections that follow, as to choose leaders of their own and help to put in office men who truly repersent them and deal squarely after they are elected. But this can be accomplished only by subordinating all personal ambitions to the main issue of obtaining real representation in the party councils, and sustaining by their votes the leaders that they may choose. A leadership that will not deal squarely with all elements of Republicanism is false to the basic principles of the party. It should be rooted out and a real leadership built up in its place. MAYOR WALKER AT THE PLAY That was a graceful, as well as significant, gesture made by Mayor Walker, in his curtain speech on the opening night of "Meek Mose," at the Princess Theatre. This is the play written by Frank Wilson, who plays the title role in "Porgy," now being produced by the Theatre Guild on Broadway. The author also played the leading part in "Abrahan's Bosom," which was awarded the Pulitzer prize last year. "Meek Mose" is described as a comedy drama of Negro life in a Texas town, produced by an Negro cast of netors. It was not so favourably reviewed by the leading theatrical critics, despite the Mayor's encouragement words.

The author also played the leading part in "Abraham's Bosom," which was awarded the Pulitzer prize last year. "Meek Mose" is described as a comedy drama of Negro life in a Texas town, produced by an all-era cast of actors. It was not so favorably reviewed by the leading theatrical critics, despite the Mayor's encouraging words. Mayor Walker said: "This is a city in which men are measured by their merit and by no other standard. Our Negro citizens have given splendid accounts of themselves in industry and commerce, and enter the most vital courts of the theatre, the play, this is as convincing and as entertaining and as real as anything I have ever seen in the theatre. Its production means much to New York, where heilderates the understates that before the week is out this theatre w Commenting on the aspirations of Senator Willis to pose as Ohio's favorite son for the Presidential nomination, the Cleveland Call and Post said: As a matter of fact, there seems to be wide divergence of opinion as to whether or not any seriousness at all should be attached to Senator willis' candidacy for the Republican nomination for President. It is not a well settled fact that he is strong enough to carry the state, but there has been much concern among the colored citizens of Ohio over the attention he has given to their claims for recognition during the time he and other Ohioans have had close touch and influence during the past two Republican Administrations. In Cleveland, many have depended upon Senator Willis to see that some colored Republican be nailed as an assistant U. S. Attorney. Nothing, however, has been done. This same thing has been true of Cincinnati and other sections where were represented by other numbers. In Toledo, they do not fail to forget the treatment accorded their behalf townman, Charles Cottrell. Nowhere can colored citizens of Ohio point to a concrete result to them due to the efforts of the Senior Senator who now desires be encouraged by such signs of dissatisfaction. This would indicate that as a favorite son, Senator Willis hardly fills the bill. The supporters of Secretary Hoover in Ohio will delectable encourage by such signs of dissatisfaction. Swanson and Carter Glass know that the present Stirling Laws of the South had no objective other than the elimination of all Negroes from the equation of the Ballot-Box in the South. It is nothing but bare-faced lying for them to contend otherwise. The infamous Grandfather and Property Ownership clauses were wollpholes in these election laws for the admission of ligatures, the encores, and a detail all of Negroes would have Chief Justice White, of Texas, over-rated these subversive measures as contrary to the Constitution of the United States. Thereupon, these Southern Senators dodged behind, the Primary Elections from which all Negroes were expressly barred. This went on for years until the late Texas ruling ended that lawlessness. Not a moment has passed, since the overthrow of the Primary Laws, that Southern politicians have not been busy trying to find some scheme that will conform to the letter of the Constitution, and, at the same time deny all Negroes their rights at the Ballot Box. The attempt to whitewash the disfranchisement practices of the South is too apparent to fool anyone; who has the slightest knowledge of present conditions. The Washington Eagle took exception to the acquiescence with which the Republican Senators received Senator Swanson's defence of nullification of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. It said, All of the leaders of the Republican party were there but the Congressional Record does not record any of them standing up and answering the adult arguments of the senators from Virginia, Swanson who defied the senators to invoke reduction of representation in proportion to the number of votes voided. Senator Reed, elected from the greatest Republican senate, Pennsylvania, sat quietly by when the Virginia senator made his speech. When the case of Senator Smith, who was charged with the murder of a being argued in the Senate it was Reed of Pennsylvania who illuminated that the enforcement of the in fact, we think that this play had its first presentation in Philadelphia. The verdict of the professional critics is not to be taken as an unfailing test of the merits of a production. There have been notable examples of plays condemned by the critics meeting with popular approval, as in the case of "Abie's Irish Rose." Plays dealing with Negro life have a peculiarly difficult gauntlet to run, as they must not only conform to the white man's idea of Negro psychology, but also to the real knowledge of the Negro actors and audience as to how they really would react to certain impulses. In trying to meet these two opposite requirements, the whole action of the play may be completely spoiled. Nevertheless, Mayor Walker's curtain speech was a timely and apposite tribute to an earnest and industrious group of his fellow citizens, which cannot fail to elicit their appreciation. 14th and, 15th amendments would be the reprisal for the failure to seat Senator Smith. This great defender (?) of the constitution sat supinely in his seat. Senator Watson, another of the leading lights of the Republican party, worked "himself up to the point where he asked some questions, and when Senator Swanson was defended, the 15th amendment Watson said, according to the Congressional Record: "Speaking my own personal views, I do not think the 15th amendment is being violated. If there be any violation it is of the 14th amendment" To this Mr. Swanson replied: "I am glad to get the senator's concession that the South is completely exonerated from any violation of the 15th amendment." Senator Hill of Ohio and a block of press representatives were present, and they opened not their mouths. They either lacked the brains to answer Senator Swanson or they were satisfied to see the constitutional amendments affecting the Negro nullified. Both brains and backbone have been conspicuously lacking on the Republican side of the Senate in recent years. Pussyfooting is the policy that has brought Republicanism to its present decadence. Replying to the repeated criticism that the Negro press devotes too much attention to the continuous discussion of purely racial issues, the Twin City Herald of Minneapolis said: We can excuse more or less readily the complaint of our White brethren on the press because of lack of understanding of many important considerations when gave up. The complaining Negro simply does not have the courage of his convictions. Perhaps to the Negro editor comes in larger measure a knowledge of the disadvantages, the disadvantages, the limitations which his people are surrounded and limited from the day of birth to the day of death, the things that make it impossible to forget the tact in Color. He can shut neither his cars nor his understanding to the many appeals of his Group for deliverance from the painful situation of Color. To write of the League of Nations is but to remind of colorphobia as exhibited time and agan in deciding the fate of powerless Color states, to write of Farm Relief brings a Kikuyu to the impatient injustices; Mississippi control recalls the ugly stories from the south when the rush of waters made so many of our people homeless and made possible added cities. The entire category of matters of public import but leads the Negro press to the inevitable conclusion that the Negro people can discuss none of them with sincerity and interest until their own economic well being is so buttressed that these men also mean for them just what they intend to other Americans. When shall that time come? Not until the Negro is himself determined that present conditions must be changed and will adorn the only sure means of its realization this cooperation of his assets, in money, brains, and voting power. Significance then attaches to the efforts of Twin City men to marshal these resources of our citizens and to perfect a vehicle through which they can function. The primary object of a class newspaper is to function as a medium of news and opinion of the group it represents. All topics must therefore be discussed in their relations to this group. Referring to the case of Abe Washington, who has been confined in a Florida jail, for nearly five years, awaiting execution, the Florida Sentul of Jacksonville said: Washington was sentenced to be hanged, but before the Courts acted upon the case the electric chair was instituted, replacing the gallowies; the Governor signed a warrant for his electrification. His Attorney filed petition for an injunction that the pair object could not be legally hanged THE AGE READERS' FORUM electrocuted, as no special provision was made before the date the hanging law went out. This caused much comment, as to the quick and thoughtful ing of the defects. The interest was centered more on the fact that, a Negro lawyer pointed out the flaws, At this particular time the prime factor or the highlight in the case of the condemned man is, he was sentenced to die by a jury of twelve white men, who maybe thought only in terms of color, or were in the beginning probably prejudiced to; wards him; but again the farightiness of his Attorney was brought to light as a fact that equal protection and rights had been denied, when not one Negro had been chosen to sit on the jury. Facts brought out at this point opened the eyes of the entire community, state and country. The results thus far accomplished; one Mr. Anderson, a local business man of the race was called to sit on a jury in the Circuit Court for the first time in over thirty years or longer. The editor of the Sentinel regards this case as having scored another point in the struggle for equal rights of citizenship. The lawyer who argued this case before the Florida Supreme Court was Attorney S. D. McGill. 一 Recalling the fact that only a few years ago the homes, churches and business places of Chicago Negroes were targets for bombs of the assassin, the Chicago Whip said: "Yes, the spirit of lawlessness lingers on in Chicago. The vandals and terrorists, who were paid to throw bombs at us, are lingering on with their kindred spirits and they are still throwing bombs, but not at (Translated from "LE TEMPS") Port-au-Prince, January 18.

Bellegarde, to relate his Odyssey to Santiago, Cuba, and his accounts follows: The sixth Pan-American Conference at Havana is perhaps the most important assembly of American states which has ever been held. It is program covers political, legal, economic and intellectual problems. The crux of all those problems is the relationship which the republics maintain with each other; this relationship to be friendly should be based, on the fundamental principle of the equality and sovereignty of all the states composing the Union. Aside from problems of Haiti, M. Huihouire and had a great interest in the history of the country would mark a new turn, favorable or unfavorable in Pan-American relations. Was Amply Qualified. "As a foster delegate to the League of Nations, to the Pan-American Commercial Conference, and to many other international conventions I had many reasons for following closely the work of the Conference, above all the country, delivered over to a foreign military dictatorship. I hoped for some anelioration of our unfortunate condition, provided the truth were revealed at Havana. Thus I accepted with pleasure the invitation of several friends that Mr. Hudicourt will be the "observer" of the 60th Conference. Everyone knows of M. Hudicourt's justly earned reputation as an international lawyer. He especially distinguished himself at the Hague Conference of 1907 and at the Pan American Conference at Chile. He is also president of the Haitian section of the Committee on International Law. We can say without boasting that we are fitted for the task, which was assigned to us. In addition, we were commissioned by eight Uritian papers and reviews to represent them. I was asked the conference for the French paper, "La Revue de l'Amérique latine," and for the Paris daily, "Le Journal." It should be added, too, that M. Hudicourt had received a special invitation to Havana from an eminent Cuban; and that Dr. Rowe, founding me his report to the conference told me he would put at my disposal all the facilities of the Union. Passports Held Up. We made our preparations for journeying to Cuba. On the third of January I went to the Home Minister to secure a passport although according to law this formality is not necessary. Since the Minister was absent, I had leaves written renoualed and was warned that my next passport would have my passport signed and stamped. Since I left the city the next day on a mission for the Chamber of Commerce it was not until the seventh that I went for my passport. It was not signed and the Minister could not be placed in and held by me, and been in diving the five days my passport awaited his, precious signature. The passports being handled on the Haitian side—it was necessary to be assured of entrance to Cuba. In December, M. Houdicourt badged the minister for Haiti for a recommendation to Haiti for a recommendation to the authorities in Santiago. The minister, in an official letter, assured us we did not need a 'new' document for handling, but should any difficulty arise, M. Houdicourt did instante, elephson M. Antonio de Instante, president of the 6th Conference. Receiving Landing Pass. We arrived in Santiago the morning of January 11, and went though the health and customs in- They are throwing them at our City. Controller, Charles Flitmore, Mr. itermorris, strange enough was Chicago. Chief of Police when bombs are removed on the southside. Just a few night ago some of those wayward souls, who at the law place murdered M. Murdoch own home, and even threatened to bomb, the citadel of Chicago Mayor. Now, the city of Chicago is up in arms with righteous indignation and steps are under way to break up the bombers' syndicate and trace the miscreants to their hair. A roundup of all suspicious characters, criminals and racketeers was made over the attack that names of the police in the machine tosters have "been disclosed. Fast work, good work and a consummation devoutly to be wished." We entertain the regret nevertheless, that the same vigilance and determination was not manifested when our nurses were rooked to the ceilings, when our children ran terror-striken from their beds, when the terror-striken from their beds, when the destruction of their homes. We regret that a cordon of police was not thrown around the city and those devils were not rounded up. The city officials now realize that crime and outlawry will show its pernentine head as long as it is tolerated and they also realize that criminals unrestrained and unbelieved stifle down the strong will of the city. The southside has suffered the same experience. Laxity of law enforcement and the system of permitting weak people to be crushed at one time released a murderous force, that sought to satisfy its blood 'lust at the Governor's mansion. That is the strongest argument for the suppression of lynching and mob rule, but those in authority appear to be Blind to the meaface of unchecked lawlessness. spection. the immigration chief supervised the inspection in person and gave us the necessary landing pass himself after having heard our declaration that we had no passports. Other Haitians without passports, were likewise permitted to land. Having reached Santiago too late to catch the train for Havana, she stopped at M. Djolos, hotel in company at M. Djolos, an minister to Cuba and M. Kihoul, former minister—both government delegates to the Conference. We had been at the hotel several hours when an employee of the immigration office came for M. Hudicourt and myself, stating our signatures—were wanted. "We followed without any uneasiness. At the office we had to wait more twenty minutes. Becoming impatient we had the telephone the chief. He soon came and was the same official who in the morning had given us permission to land. N. Y. City Mission, Its Work and Needs Editor of The New York Ave: Editor of the New York Age: When Colonel Robert Gould Shaw led his regiment of black soldiers in the Civil War, the wave of abolition of slavery heights. Now, with the much-spoken grass of the Negro since slavery, our white citizens are apt to know but little of the needs and distresses of the descendants of the black whose fate caused so tragic a division in our American life in the sixties until work or the needy colored resistance was established in a room over a saloon on West 30th, street by some sweet "cornered" Quaker ladies in 1855 Incorporated in 1871 as the New York Colored Mission it now fund- self in three houses on West 130th street and two on 130th street, in the great community of New York, where the progress some, there is still 'great need and suffering by many. The management of this Mission has steadily maintained its old spirit of simplicity and honesty, and today Mrs. Francis C. Barlow, Mrs. M. Orme Wilson, Miss Sarah Steward, Mrs. William J. Schieffelin, Dr. and Mrs. Frank C. Matthews, David and Clara Maames, have associated lives in the benevolent activities of the organization with the descendants of the Founders. The Mission attempts to be a friendly station of help in the many cases of the always-present class of those who struggle hopefully, or hopefully, to be self-supporting. A day nursery enables self-respecting competent mothers to go to their work confident of intelligent care of their little ones while they clean or cook for someone else. Boys and girls club and sewing classes (often with quant names) help to form sound men and women for the work of the office and employment office and simple service living. Trouble it all the moral, characterful teaching of the early Quaker Sunday school is continued. I write this letter to give information to any of your readers who has the impulse to aid in a direct effective manner, through desired hands, the needs of hundreds of a much-neglected class in our government city.

City ADVERTISE YOUR PURNISHED ROOMS IN THE AGE CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Refuge Church.of Christ Elder Lawson the pastor having returned from a trip through the South looking after the churches filled the rostrum as he began his usual sincere and attentive heart, his usual sincere and soulwining way a blessed message from Philippians 2:1-2 and 5. He exhorted his hearers even as Paul did the church at Philippi, to put on the hulm of the church of Christ. For Christ rejecteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble, He described the suffering that the apo-te Paul endured in establishing this church, and how they should embrace the gospel, and establishing the church there. In one place, told them, "In nothing be termed by their adversaries: for unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer, for His sake." But that their comfort and consolation, even in suffering, should abound in Christ. He being in them the hope of glory. To-day said Did I sawson this same message comfort, even in suffering, which was also in Christ. Jesus, "of mind to suffer and endure hardness as a good soldier, for like as your suffering abounds, so also do your consolation and comfort abound in Christ. Trials and afflictions are not always to be taken as an act, or some sin that you have committed; but it is sometimes for our consolation that we may bear the marks of our Lord Jesus. Therefore, be of good courage and comfort each other, and be of the same mind, having the same love, that you have consolated one else. If you have found consolation and comfort in the Christ and His salvation, then comfort someone—else with that same comfort wherewith you were comforted with. Tell of this blessed life in Christ, that has come to you in gospel, that others may be partakers of the same love and consolation. At the evening service the au- torium, was filled: Eld Lawson preached from Matthew 27.35. He emphasized the importance of a scene of a company of men, pro- fessing to be intelligent crucifying a just man (CHRIST) and shooting dice for his clothes, while He dies. The comparison is applicable to the attitude of the majority of people in this preacher's community. Grace ly; they join the church for the garments of convenience, respect- ability, business, and advantage; but the life of the real Christ, they are still saying their actions, encouraging, by case by case, in these various garments for conven- ence of this fleshly life. First Emmanuel Church At the 11 o'clock services, Sunday, Pastor Bolden preached from the text: "And Jesus increased in wisdom and sainture, and in favor of God, the Unfolding St. Luke 2:52 Theme: 'The Unfolding God in the Mind of Man.'" Pastor Boiden said, "Our Lord Jesus the Emmanuel, though he was filled with the Holy Spirit, this filling did not assure Him in sense of world. For this would come to him through His childhood and daily experiences. As an illustration, perhaps every girl is filled with the natural passion of mother love for children and yet not every girl is filled with the true mother that can experience the mother love and grow in wisdom of motherhood. It is only an exception when it is found that a child has not the bable to love her mother, but all of them do not increase in wisdom and in perfect physical stature and in favor with God and Man. This is more largely due to ignorance of ancestors as to God, mental and spiritual values, that is why children are not in child. In daily occupation, in the saving of money, in the accumulation of wealth, political and social prestige and godly life one must through experience have such an understanding of usury, service and sacrifice, and in favor with God and man. As regards one's stature, the direct family tree may have much to do with it. But balanced foods in their natural state, taken into the system at the proper periods in their life, can provide the physical or mental life of the mature person, will give them a healthy and strong body. The parents and our Lord the Emmanuel Himself understood these things and more, for He grew up on an environment of people of His neighborhood and town. He was well known to them all, which indicates that He shared into the playful life industrial and helpful activities of the community. Hence it was observed and chronological, he increased in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man. The question is naturally asked, how can God the Almighty do the thing that is said of Jesus the Christ. We have no direct answer and we cannot say God the Almighty manifested Himself throughout this vast imensity in which it is discovered that life is everywhere present and invisible and is vibration, the creative eternal Father manifests the that we call the Spirit that is faithful, fathomless deep throughout the universe, and this universe increased or unfolded the wisdom of creation. Hence mourn and, worlds took shapel and lion and harmoniously travel upon their eternal courses. When life like Father Spirit and like lion would have emanations from Himself to take on foish and character, and exist in a state of innocence and give eternal life obedience, moving and teaching in person. He manifested lion and lioned Himself in their life. In His divine life energy wizard of man manifest man in his own image and likeness, he took on the human sense, natural life and temporal body of humanity and came into being through the natural line of mankind. He unfolded Himself as an animal from the one cell to childhood and manhood, and as the eternal Father from the early spiritually epinexiousness that He discovered in himself, throughout His ministry, his dyspnea, including His ministry, His dyspnea, including straits, His death, burial, reincrection and ascension in the heavens. Hence He did increase in wisdom, in stature and in favor with God and man. And when we recognize the truth of Enmanuelian in our lives, and live in strict obedience to the divine law as seen in the natural world and in ourselves, we can increase in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man. It is the duty, of us as believers to give to the children the hardest experiences and by example show them how to unfold the God life of love, of service, of divine understanding and goodwill in the community. Be enthusiastic workers for the kingdom of God. Let this work begin in your mind, in your home, and carry it out into some religious organization, society, daily life. Be enthusiastic workers for the weakness of worldly wisdom in attempting to unfold the divine mind in human experience can be seen in the life of Napoleon the first, in his divorcement of Josephine the queen, and his marriage to Marie Louise, of the house of Hapsburg, whose dynasty was six hundred years old, from which Napoleon hoped to have an heir that would rule the entire empire. Sunday school 2 p.m. At 4:30 p. m. Pastor Bolden spoke at the Price day exercises at Mother Zion. Evening service was well attended. Grace Church of Harlen The morning service at Grace Church last Sunday was conducted by Rev. Dr. Edward W. Cross of Union Congregational Church, Richmond Hill. This is a 'church of white people'. The quartet of Union Church a professional group of singers, with their organist, rendered the music of the entire union Church was unusually good. Here is a clear demonstration of a minister and church fearlessly brooking certain criticism from the narrow, bigoted type of white man who wants no fellowship with Negro Christians. While they were conducting the service in Grace Church, Dr. Garner, his choir and organist were rendering a similar service at the Union Church, Richmond Hill, Grace Church choir had 16 members, Miss Olive Lye, Jeter Walker, and The Union Dr. Cross' subject was "The Uni versal Christ." Dr. Garner's theme was: "Christianity in the Desert Way." Both churches were filled with worshippers. The white church, though two churches large, was called to care for each church membership was delighted with the service. Grace Church choir sang selections from Dett, Burleigh and Rosamond Johnson. They also sang an anthem by a white composer just to show that music is music, whether by white or beautiful. The spirit of the people was wonderful at both places. Being Race Relations Sunday it was an opportunity time to test the willingness of the churches, generally to exchange on terms of confidence and equality. It was made by Dr. Cross and Dr. Garner. The churches congratulated their ministers. The "funeral of Isadore - Blanco was held at Grace Church on Sunday, February 12, at 2 p.m. m. Henry Lincoln Johnson led i. d. R. P.

Rush Memorial Church When all else fails, it is in prayer that man seeks strength for his weakness, consolation in his grief, hope in his virtue—and so when all other efforts to stop lynching of our people failed, man resorts to Prayer, and last Sunday was set aside as the Day of Prayer, in which all pastors were requested to lend their efforts and the help of the various congregations in order that one petitioned for the mobs to stop the Himi to stop the mobs from using the members of the Negro race as prey for their frenzied deeds. but the pastor and people of Rush did not wait until Sunday to bestir themselves about this matter, for indeed prayers of these good people have ever been going up to the throne of God that He might通通 His King of this infuriated mob, but the concentrated effort was openly demonstrated at eleven o'clock, and the power of prayer was quite in evidence. Dr. Oliver was charged with the Spirit from on high, and as he delivered the sermon from the kingdom Luke 11:2, religious fever and the people who listened to this sermon felt the result of prayer more than ever before. To pray just now and then for any particular thing will not get the desired results but to pray boldly, and continually to be freed of the lively mosh it will be through the hand of God, in answer to consecrated and sincere prayer.

Junior Church—A large number was present at the service, but not all were present since the organization of the church a few weeks ago. The pastor chose a text from St. Luke 22:7-24, and a brief talk on the meaning of the communion was given. Thirty-six children received the sacrament. It was a solemn, occasion, and will in years to come, make a lasting impression upon their lives. Prefer the Service—The text was chosen from St. John 6:60-71 subject: "Christ the perfect Satisfaction." This was a powerful sermon, and a great question to the nations of the world. Peter realized, what a critical state he would be in without Christ which prompted him to cry out "To whom shall we go, that we may be saved?" The pastor beautifully illustrated through these words the perfect satifaction found in Christ. 2 p. m.

"Rang Tang" Scores At Lafayette Theatre Rang Tang, resplendent in the gorgeous scenery, the magnificent costumes, the dazzling scenic effects, the song hits, the dance sensations and the roirs of comedy which characterized the show during its Broadway run, opened before a record crowd at the Lafayette Theatre on Monday and was received as no other show in the history of Harlem theatricals. Condensed into one and a half hours of wonderful entertainment, with every dull moment eliminated, the presentation of Rang Tang at the Lafayette Theatre is far finer than the ones which Broadway crowds attended at the Royal and Majestic Theatres at $3:30 a seat. The management of the Lafayette, in conformity with its undanging policy, is presenting Rang Tang at its regular admission prices. Nearly every artist, who scored run with the talent during its Broadway run is at Lafayette Theatre this week. Talented Evelyn Preer and he nixed husband, Evelyn Thompson are there—and Miss Poeer was off the stellar-pointer. Miss Westmoreland's splendid voice was heard in "Back to Africa" and the other, hits which endeared her to countless thousands of Broadway theatre-goers. Mae Barnes and Lavinia Mack danced better than ever before and looked better than ever before in the gorgeous Rang Tang costumes. Snakey Beasley's beautiful tenor voice added its share of musical charm. Then there is the magnificent chorus of eighteen girls who appear in number after number which brings storms of applause. Ford Dabney one of the world's best colored orchestra leaders is in the pit with his famous band. Mr. Dabney, incidentally, is the composer of all the music for Rang Tang and newspaper ethics were very lavish in their praises of his work as a composer and a leader. In addition to those mentioned above, the management of the Lafayette Theatre added several well-known performers to the cast. Among these are Roscoe Montella, Joe Sims and Earnest Whitman. Montella and Sims enact the comedy parts held by Miller and Lyles. The delighted screams of the audience on Moiday was a real tribute to their ability. Space forbids a more detailed criticism of Rang Tang. Suffice it to say that it is far better than during its Broadway presentation and probably the best colored musical comedy ever produced.

WHITE SPIRITUALS SUNG BY COMPANY IN "MEEK MOSE" MOST STRIKING ELEMENT IN PRESENTATION OF WEAK PRODUCTION When the curtain arose on the New York premiere of "Meek Mose," a study of the southern Negro, by Frank H. Wilson, known to New Yorkers as the postman—actor-playwright, now starring in "Petry," much interest had been engendered in the play, largely because of the fact that the cast was mode up of some notable figures in the Theplan world under direction of Lester A. Walton. But it soon developed that the most striking feature of the whole performance was the interpolation of a number of Negro Spirituals, sung both solo and ensemble, the singing furnishing the high spots of the evening's show. "The play itself has already been reviewed on the dramatic page of The Age, but the music sung during the evening is worthy of special note. Shortly after the rise of the curtain, the strains of "Deep River" led by Ollyve P. Hopkins, who is cast as "Madan Jones," came floating on the air from behind the scenes, creating a weird effect, but the placing of the singers must have been unfortunate for the splendid and massive harmonies did not fall upon the ear with accustomed power. But later, when Laura Bowman, as "Josephine," wife of "Meek Mose," led the ensemble in singing "Wade in de Water," it was a different story. Her voice, peculiarly suited to the primitive melody, had a vibrant power that thrilled, either as solo voice or as leader of the chorus. And still later, came the singing of Will Marion Cook's "Exhertion," by the entire company and again there came a few minutes of delight for the auditors. Two other ensemble numbers, sung with striking effect, were "Nobody knows the trouble I see" and "A little talk with Jesus." When there came upon the prior colored people of the southern community a period of plestience, with death in its train, their emotions was expressed by dolorous strains from "Calvary," (improperly programmed as "Cavarly"), and by the poignant "My Lord, what a Morning." Another striking rendition was the singing of "Sinner, please don't let this harvest pass," fed by "Madam Jones" (Miss Hopkins). This fine singer is the soprano soloist in Mt. Olivet Baptist Church choir, and is usually the case, her singing was a delightful experience. In the singing of the final number, "Josephine," weak and feeble from the effects of illness, again led with striking effect, with the entire ensemble grouped around her on the stage. As one, reviewer put, the singing glanced in threads of silk among the shoddy of the play itself. However, in line 6 of the players themselves, it might be said with emphasis that they were much better than the play they were giving. Laura Bowman as "Josephine", Charles H. Moore, a veteran of the stage, as "Meek Mose", and Sidney Kirkpatrick as "Enos Green", the villains are well known in the theatrical world, and their experienced interpretations did much to add some measure of enjoyment to the play. Moore is the dean of Negro actors, probably longer on the stage than any of them and never did better work than in this play. One of the surprises of the evening was the work of Ruth Ellis, heretofore known only to the recital stage as a dramatic reader of considerable parts, who portrayed the part of "Penolia", the daughter of Meek Mose; and "Josephine", making her first appearance on the stage in a dramatic production. Miss Ellis is a winsome little lady, and physically well-suited to the character of the precocious little daughter of the house. She avoided nicely the temptation to overplay her part and maintained with delightful consistency the attitude of a bright child, even play defying the mob, that would attack her father, or when realizing that love for "Nathan", played by J. Laurence Custer, had taken its abode in her heart. It is interesting to note that in the cast presenting this play there are a half dozen or more of the players who formerly made up the old Lafayette Players, the first group of Negro actors to present standard dramatic plays in New York. Aston Burleigh, who portrayed the character of "Cole Turner" in the play, and who is the son of the distinguished composer and singer, Dr Harry T. Burleigh, had charge of the musical numbers, and the abbreviation of his ability was shown in the quality of the work done by the singers.

At this point he spoke of his mother in the audience, who had traveled from Ontario, Canada, for the occasion. She was assisted to the platform amid tremendous applause.

She congratulated her son and sister on the presentation of the presentation of a wreath of roses from the Hampton Institute choir, presented by Mervel Bratheimer, soloist of the organization. group and was warmly welcomed to the group of young artists in this city.

Hampton Glee Club In First Southern Tour Wins Unusual Acclaim Hampton Glee Club In First Southern Tour Wins Unusual Acclaim BY ALLAN B. DOGGETT Jr. Hampton Institute, Va...A white audience marvelling at the fact that Negro school boys render with artistic interpretation classical music and a: the same time sing Spirituals with dignity, fervor and finish, and a colored audience revealing in their faces a pride in a performance that carried beyond man-made lines of race into the realms of art that knows no color lines, was the composite reaction of audiences during the recent trip of Hampton Institute Elee Club in a tour of south Florida. At the first time a Negro glee club, singing a classical program, had gone in to the South. The club, under direction of Dr. R. Nathaniel Dett, director of the School of Music, presented a program that amazed its hearers. Whether the audiences expected the "glee club" type of entertainment, or a program with a preponderance of Negro music, is hard to represent all these young men, Hamilton—the soloist is a first year working his way during the day and going to school in the evening—presented Bash, Gluck and Praetorius, folk songs of the sea, Cormish, Russian, old English and French, selections from modern composers and by Dr. Dett himself, conceptions and standards must have "gone by the boards" and a new evaluation made necessary. The club sang at Paine College, Augusta, Ga.; City Auditorium, Atlanta, Ga.; City Auditorium, Durham, N. C.; A. and T. College, Greenbush, N. C.; Reedville, N. C.; Danville, Va.; Lynchburg College, Lynchburg, Va., and Hollins College, Roanoke, Va. Harry Delmore, tenor, of Boston, Mass, was in the city the latter part of last week making records.

Jack Hild in a new type of role, an adventurous midwife, who combines brains and brawn and finds plenty of excitement matching his wits against savage running. You'll forget that it is a picture and breathe with Mona, the wild creature of the wilderness You'll love with her. You'll cry with her, you'll laugh with her, with her laughing with her sweet and have the theatre feeling that you have left a friend behind. At the *laugh* Theatre "Thursday to Sunday.

Zudora, Doris Rhombustton, Amanda Randolph and Little Bits Turner are the feminine songbirds, and their singing and dancing even excel the Alhambra standard.

One of the newer of the picture stars, handsome Jack Donovan will be seen in a Western picture, full of motion and rick riding, called "Hool Marks." Brick College Defeats A. & T.

The following letter to this column explains itself without any comment from us: To Mr. James H. Hogans, The New York Age, New York, N. Y. Dear Sir: I was served in your column, "The Pullman Employees," in The Agnus Porter George L. Ford for his course Pullman Company. In this lauded one porter in a thousand who had tended on a subject in which he was true, but true only to a certain deep favorable circumstances, such as the most object coward can muster self. By this statement, I do not mislacking in grit. I myself must come to put his name to an article written in character as that which Nevertheless, I repeat, under have can exercise this characteristic. Now, understand me clearly, I if I am, that is not my intention—Porter Ford for his defence of his he is perfectly within his rights, an of the Pullman service, who those of Mr. Ford's regard that you in your column, so that those who veteran may read the views of an Uplike Porter Ford, I cannot of course, should be readily under the Pullman service the same as 4 years in the service were compared credit than he has. I am also inclined to working loyalty, that is, loyalty as porters. I am just as much concer player as he. In this phase of our knowledge of other porters valuable a man to the Pullman serve the similarities and comparisons of Mr. Ford believes, so it seems mental to the porters as a group, that. And just as I think on the seven porters. Of course we can the same as Porter Ford. In this as advantage. We have to depend it is not always that these oral per correctly. For instance, we veterans know the worst corporation in the world that there are features of our emp to the satisfaction of all concern those veterans, of whom I am spm would be minimized if we porters. In expressing this opinion, I m in which we should be organized, this organization. But, in whatever it, I firmly believe that the interests and conserved by organization of it. And why should I and those we have examples and instances press us. If organization is an a doctor, the lawyer, the minister, what is there disbelief about employing the same condition for their As I before mentioned, I too, and I too, feel loyal to my empl not made me unmindful of the fact, a unified group and use our own obtained.

I have courage enough to exp has to be expressed over an assume "JOHN Experienced Porter Disagree Of Waiter Are More The Sleeping F. W.

And this reminds us; A few importer, who is impartial in his feeli personal opinion of this gentleman what they want about Perry Parker he has helped the Negro laborer in the front for them when it is nec "I observed in your column, "Things Seen, Heard and Done Among Pullman Employees", in The Age of February 11, that you praised Porter George L. Ford for his courage in defending his employer, the Pullman Company. In this laudation, you said that Mr. Ford was one porter in a thousand who had the courage to express his convictions on a subject in which he was interested. This is, as you declared, true, but true only to a certain degree. The exception is this: Under favorable circumstances, such as Mr. Ford enjoys in this controversy, the most object coward can muster sufficient bravery to declare himself. By this statement, I do not mean to suggest that Porter Ford is lacking in grit. I myself must confess that it takes courage for anyone to put his name to an article which deals with a subject so controversial in character as that which now involves Pullman porters. Nevertheless, I repeat, under favorable circumstances almost anyone can exercise this characteristic. Now, understand me clearly. I am not essaying the role of critic—if I am, that is not my intention—nor am I trying to find fault with Porter Ford for his defence of his employer. In taking that attitude, he is perfectly within his rights. In justice, however, to other veterans of the Pullman service, who have ideas somewhat different from those of Mr. Ford's regarding their industrial welfare, I am sending this letter with the hope that you will be fair enough to allow it space in your column, so that those who lead your views concerning this veteran may read the views of another veteran. Unlike Porter Ford, I cannot well give my correct name, which, of course, should be readily understood, but I am a veteran porter in the Pullman service the same as he. In fact, I believe, that if our years in the service were compared, I would have more years to my credit than he has. I am also inclined to the belief that when it comes to working loyalty, that is, loyalty that appertains strictly to our duties as porter, I am less as much concerned about the interests of our employer as he. In this phase of our employment, I feel that I—and I know of hundreds of other porters who feel the same way—am just as valuable a man to the Pullman service as Mr. Ford. But other than the similarities and comparisons cited, he and I differ. Mr. Ford believes, so it seems, that organization would be detrimental to the porters as a group. I, on the other hand, do not believe that. And just as I think on the subject, so do hundreds of other veteran porters. Of course we cannot come out and declare ourselves the same as Porter Ford. In this aspect of the subject he has decidedly the advantage. We have to depend on outsiders speaking for us, and it is not always that these oral proxies state our views soberly and correctly. For instance, we veterans know that the Pullman Company is not the worst corporation in the world for which to work. We also know that there are features of our employment that are difficult to adjust to the satisfaction of all concerned. Still, despite of this knowledge, those veterans of whom I am speaking believe that our difficulties would be minimized if we porters were an organized group. In expressing this opinion, I make no suggestion as to the manner in which we should be organized, and who should act as the head of this organization. But, in whatever way it is done and whoever does it, I firmly believe that the interests of the porters would be best served and conserved by organization of some character. And why shouldn't I and those who think similarly have this idea? We have examples and instances of this in every walk of life to impress us. If organization is an aid to the banker, the merchant, the doctor, the lawyer, the minister, the railroads and other corporations, what is there, disbelief about employees of such persons and things desiring the same condition for their economic and industrial welfare? As I before mentioned, I too, am a veteran in the Pullman service, and I, too, feel loyal to my employer, but this feeling of loyalty has not made me unmindful of the fact that we Pullman porters need to be a unified group and use our own judgment as to how this may be obtained. If desiring this condition will influence our employer, after fifty years of fealty on our part, to replace us with Filipinos, Mexicans and Chinamen, as Mr. Ford intimates, then I say—and I am an old man who has given his best years to its service—let our employer go to it. I have courage enough to express this conviction, even though it has to be expressed over an assumed name.

W. Samuels, a veteran in the sleeping car service, and one of the substantial members of the Pullman porters group, takes issue with the veteran who was cited in this column, several weeks ago, as having said that the duties of waiters on club and buffer-luncheon cars required more skill in their rendition than that used in the duties of the sleeping car porter. Mr. Samuels met this writer on Seventh Avenue several days ago, and wanted to know how the writer got the idea that it didn't require skill to be an efficient sleeping car porter. When informed that that opinion was a quotation by the writer, and not his personal expression, he said that the opinion was incorrect. "To be an efficient porter on a sleeper, he declared, required just as much skill as being an efficient waiter, notwithstanding that the duties of each vary in character.

Perry Parker Feted and Lauded During Eastern Visit Perry Parker, referred to by some as the "big mogul" of the P. P. B. A., and who makes his headquarters in Chicago, has been visiting the eastern districts of the Pullman service during the past several weeks, and in each of these territories, he has been dined and praised by the officers and members of the association. The latest district to extend these felicities was Boston. On Saturday, February 5th, the porters of Boston vied with Washington, in which latter city, several weeks previous, he was tendered a banquet, ing him honor at a dinner and "get-to-gether" meeting. And this reminds us; A few months ago the writer asked a certain porter, who is impartial in his feelings toward Mr. Parker, what was his personal opinion of this gentleman? "Well," said he, "They can say what they want about Perry Parker, but I know from experience that he has helped the Negro laborer in many respects.

ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Anti-vaccinationists have had their defense struck by another "bomb" in the form of a report made by the American Association for Medical Progress. The report contains results of a study of small pox in various states grouped according to the "legal status of compu- sory vaccination. We have found that where vacci- ation is compulsory for at least part of the population (for instance school children) there are 57 cases of smallpox for every 100,000 people. In eight states where compulsory vaccination is restri- cited there are 614 cases of smallpox per 100,000 people. The ratio of deaths from the disease between two groups is 0.5 in the first, against 10 in the second. These figures tell their own story. If your children have not been vaccinated, have them done immediately. The vaccination is a relatively simple matter. It is the key to preventing people from being guarded against the dread disease. It makes people immune, and is the only known method of checking epidemics. Immunity from a vaccination may last seven years. Usually two vaccinations are person immune for life, and frequently one vaccination will do this. EAST INDIA HAIR GROWER Will Promote a Full Growth of Hair.

C.—The support of President Coolidge was solicited on February 11, by representatives of the National Negro Bankers' Association of organizing thrift among the Negro people of the country. The President was informed by Major R. R. Wright of Philadelphia, president of the association, that banking has assumed favorable projections among the black race and that there are already 32,000 banks with deposits of more than $22,000,000 and more than 32,000 separate depositors. "While some of these banks are more than a quarter of a century old, the majority are Coolidge, "most of them have grown with the prosperity which came after the World War."
