Johnson of 52 St. Nicholas place, a Pullman porter, at 11.55 a. m. on Saturday, March 10, it developed they had solved the mystery behind a number of "poison pen" letters which had been received by Manager Schiffman of the Lafayette Theatre; Mrs. Mildred Franklin, violinist, of 236 West 135th street, formerly leader of the Lafayette Theatre orchestra; by the Children's Aid Society, and by the Police Department. The letters to Mr. Schiffman contained a warning to the effect that one "Howard" at one time headuser at the theatre, was more because he had been discharged by Schiffman, and because "his woman, the violinist," had also been discharged; that this animosity would actuate "Howard" to "bump him at the best opportunity," and that "Howard" was also conspiring with one of the theaters' waachmen to stage a "hold-up" of the box office some night. A few weeks ago, the theatre was really held up, the robbery being staged by three white bandits, and then another letter was sent Schiffman, calling his attention to prosecutions about "Howard" and stating that the "worst criminal" could give some valuable information. he had sought through these letters to cause her trouble. He used the name of "Howard" in his letters because "Howard" had really been employed at the Lafayette Theatre that Mrs. Franklin was first violin and conductor of the orchestra.

Farrell for a hearment on Thursday March 51, for appealing and defending threatening letters Detective Bauerschmidt, in an swer to a question as to any pos-sible relation between the warning to Schiffman of a projected hold up and the actual occurrence, said it that it apparently only a pos-sible coincidence, and stating that the "worst criminal" could give some valuable information. Others Letters Written. In the meantime, it developed that Mrs. Franklin, who had at one time been friendly with Albert Johnson, but who had discontinued her friendship for various reasons, had also received threatening letters, couched in bitter and obscene language. Then, through investigations made by officials of the Children's Society it was learned that several letters sent that office making serious charges against Mrs. Franklin with relation to her children, but which the society found to be unfounded. Another letter, sent to the police, charged that "Howard" had shot a police officer in a speechy sometime ago, and that he rode to the scene of the shooting and then made his get-away after the shooting, by Franklin. A keen and rigorous investigation by the policemen followed these various developments Johnson Confessed. And the chase ended on Saturday when Detectives Bauersmidt and Crosby apprehended Johnson as he was leaving his house on St. Nicholas place. For, according to the police, when confronted by the evidence they had succeeded in putting together, Johnson acknowledged that he had been instructed to soffit him, including those to Suffrutin, Mrs. Franklin, the children, Society and the police. He gave as a reason his desperate infatuation for Mrs. Franklin with whom he had been friendly for a while, and in his anger it finally being discarded by her. 2 Children Rescued In Brooklyn Fire --- Two children, George Martin, 3 years old and Leonard Martin, 2, were rescued from their burning apartment at 668 Gates avenue, Brooklyn, Tuesday morning. The children were rescued when Frank Rosenbloom and Richard Clocktouch inspectors of the branch office on the Street Cleaning Department, across the street from the house, saw the building blazing. They cross the street and found that the fire had climbed from the fire to the top floor of the house. All the tenants has escaped with the exception of the two children who had been left alone by their parents. They were locked in the apartment. Rosenbloom knew the children were alone on the top floor because he had seen their mother leave the house sometime before. He went to the car yard, climbed the fire pit, and carried down the children who were almost overcome by the fire which originated in the grassy hallway of the house at the fire pit avenue spread that building and into 700 through door, before fire succeeded in checking the flames. The Fire Marshall investigating. he had sought through these letters to cause her trouble.

Arranged in Washington Heights Court on Sunday morning he was held in $50 bail by Magistrate William A. Farrell for a hearing on Thursday at 15 o'clock. Section 551, for writing and sending threatening letters Detective Bauerschmidt, in answer to a question as to any possible relation between the warning to Schiffman of a projected hold-up and the actual occurrence, said that the apparent coincidence as there had been residence discovered that would connect Johnson with any knowledge of the real robbery.

Benson, newsdealer and former circulation manager for the New York office of the Chicago Defender, was released from Tombs prison Friday, March 9, where he had been held since February 12 on a charge of manslaughter for concession with theDefender Benson Dupree. After his attorney, Alderman John Chifford Hawkins had presented the facts in the case to the District Attorney, the grand jury refused to return an indictment against Benson.

Isaac Mulsey, 56 years old, who has been a coal miner since he was 13, has been in New York for the past six weeks as one of the representatives of the Pennsylvania-Ohio Miners' Relief Committee that is making appeals for public and in their fight against the coal operators in these states. Nearly 150,000 miners have been on strike since April 1, 1927, because of a lockout over a wage dispute, and during the past few months there has been much offering among the families of the miners. The operators refused to renew their contract with the unions at the old wage scale, which averaged $7.50 per day. They asked that the miners accept a reduction of $2.50, which, according to the union officials, would not afford a living wage, as their average working years is only 150 days. When they refused to accept the reduction, the miners were closed and reopened later with nonunion men and had secured a federal injunction, forbidding the union from picketing or interfering in any way with the strike-breakers. Forced From Homes. As the union miners lived in the company-owned houses, they were forced to move when they would not return to work. Although the unions were building barracks for their men, some families were forced out before any homes had been provided for them, and this situation brought about the intense suffering which attracted so much attention that a Congressional investigation found that the whole situation The miner workers' union is an organization 37 years old and is one of the few organizations of labor that have made no distinction among its members because of race or color. Mr. Munsey is head of Local Nine, a mining company of 700 members, most of whom are colored. He was a visitor at The New York Age office on Friday and stated that families of the miners get within twenty-four hours after contributions of money are made. The money is handled by central relief committee, which owns the wholesale prices and this food is distributed direct to the destitute families. N. Y. Headquarters.

The confession of another man that he alone was the murderer of Cyrus Jones, Onslow county, wo was killed in 1922, brought freedom from state prison and life sentences for George Williams, Joe Dinkel and Fred Dinkel Negroes. The three in October, 1922, were convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to die, but commutation from Governor Morrison gave them life imprisonment instead. Wille Hardison, Negro, who was tried separately, responded for the crime in a confession to authorities before his electrocution in April 1923. The Dove boys and Williams, he swore, neither aided nor knew anything about the slaying of Jones. Since his confession, evidence of its truth has been piling up.

C.-The Rev. W. W. Tunnel, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and a member of the Howard University faculty, will retire, from active service, at end of the year. This action is voluntary on part of Dr. Tunnel, and antedates his automatic retirement by reason of age limit by a year. In his contract, the trustees would have the right to take the same action this year. Dr. Tunnel states that he prefers anticipating any immediate action of the trustees by making possession of their ability in possession of honor and virility. Although, Dr. Tunnel has been at. Howard for many years, some two years ago there were some unpleasant developments wherein he felt himself to be the victim of just and insulting abuse and he voluntarily giving up the work now to being subject to premature beheadment by the trustees Georgia Republicans, Led by Ben. J. Davis, Depose Mrs. Williams Georgia Republicans, Led by Ben. J. Davis, Depose Mrs. Williams Atlanta, Ga.—The Republican State Convention, in session here March 3, was dominated by the Ben Davis group. Mr. Davis was named to head the Georgia delegation to the Republican National Convention and to succeed himself as National Committeeman. Contests from twelve counties were heard and in eleven cases both delegations were defeated. When it came to Chatham County, the home of National Committeewoman Mamie Williams, the credentials committee turned down flat the claims of the Pettie delegation, which was lined up with Mrs. Williams' and so she was not given a seat in the National Committeewoman's place was given to Mrs. Sarah Watson King of Albany, daughter of Joseph H.

The alternates are Dr. W. P. Harris of Athens, Mrs. King, C. W. P. Widock of Moultrie, and Henry C. Davis of Macon, another 50-50 division by color. Roscoe C. Pickett of Jasper was elected chairman; J. B. Davis of Flanders—chairman; John W. Martin of Atlanta, treasurer. Considerable stir was created when the committee on reorganization named Mrs. King instead of George S. Williams for the National Committee, and a motion was made to substitute, Mrs. Williams' name, but the motion was not submitted to the convention. A motion to substitute Mrs. Williams was also barred, and the friends of Mrs. Williams are charging that Secretary Davis was responsible for this action on part of Chairman Pickett.

HCPE DAY NURSERY WARNS OF IMPOSTOR WARNING: Word has come to the officials of Hope Day Nursery at 33 West 13rd Street, that a woman was killed in the fire at Hope Day Nursery is circulating among the public and has already collected quite a sum in its name. Hope Day Board brands any such collector as an imposter, as no person has been authorized to collect such items. Hope Day Nursery, and criminal action will be taken against such Referring to the story printed in last week's issue of The Age, with regard to the demand being made for racial recognition in the matter of political leadership in the Harlem districts, the numerous approving comments from men and women in all walks of life indicate that the matter has struck a responsive chord in the hearts and minds of the CITIZENS OF ALL CLASSES CONDEMN THE 'NEGRO LEADERSHIP' POSITION ATTRIBUTED TO REV. R. M. BOLDEN With reference to the statement attributed to Rev. R. M. Bolden as having been made before the Interdenominational Preachers' Meeting and quoted by the Rev. Calvin Lane in his letter below, Alderman Fred R. Moore said that he called Rev. Bolden on the phone and gave him his first information as to Leader Grenthal's intention to name him, Bolden, as delegate to the Republican National Convention, and suggested to Bolden that instead of accepting outright it would be better to take the matter under consideration until he, Bolden could confer with some of the Negro Republican leaders. At no time, asserted Mr. Moore, was the suggestion made to Bolden to call at the Age office to "talk over matters" and this denial, said the Alderman, cannot be made too strong. Not only Republicans, but Democrats as well, colored and white, have approved the issue and declare in no uncertain terms, that political leadership in Harlem is sadly in need of renovation and reorganization. The action of Assemblyman Abraham Grenthal, Republican leader in the 19th Assembly District, as disclosed in his reported acknowledgment to Col. Charles W. Fulmore that orders had been issued to the Assembly to work against the candidacy of Fred R. Moore, Republican candidate for Alderman, and George F. Hall, Democratic candidate for State Assemblyman, both Negroes, directs attention to the fact that the main causes are all - Federal - office holders. List of the Captains. The list of captains and the positions they hold are as follows: Abraham Cohen, secretary, office of Col. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue, 3rd N. Y. District. Henry Weltman, prohibition agent. Nathan Schwartz, U. S. Marshal. CITIZENS OF ALL CLAS THE 'NEGRO LEADER ATTRIBUTED TO With reference to the state Bolden as having been made a Preachers' Meeting and quoted a letter below, Alderman Fred R. Bolden on the phone and gave Leader Grenthal's intention to go to the Republican National Convention that instead of accepting outright matter under consideration until some of the Negro Republican lea At no time, asserted Mr. M to Bolden to call at The Age of this denial, the Alderman, c The stand taken by The Age in its fight for recognition of the Negro's political strength in Harlem, endorsed so emphatically by many of the city's leading ministers of all statements submitted by them and printed in last week's issue, is receiving additional approval from all classes of the citizenry. And in equal measure there comes strong and indignant condemnation of the petition taken by the Rev. Richard Manuel Bolden, the pastor of 105 West 130th street, who was selected by Republican Leader Abraham Grenthal to be voted for in the April 3rd primary as delegate to the Republican National Convention from the 21st Congressional district in New York, as was indicated in a statement quoted as the Age representative, and also printed in last week's issue. Critical comment is heard on all sides, and in practically every instance the expression is one of indignation that a minister, posing as a race leader, should give voice to the opinions credited to the Rev. M. A number of citizens have written to The Age, in approval of the fight for Negro political leadership and in condemnation of the attitude taken by the Harlem minister, The Rev. Calvin Lane, a retired Congregationalist minister, formerly assistant pastor of Nazareth Church, Brooklyn, has the following to say in a letter to Alderman Fred R. Moore: "I was at the Interdenominational Preachers' Meeting on March 5 when Rev. Bolden spoke of the way he had been selected to be a Republican National Convention, and how he had tried to rile Albert Radsey, Deputy Collector Internal Revenue, 1st N. Y. District Mabvin Morris, Deputy Collector Internal Revenue, 3rd N. Y. District, and president, Central Rep- ublican Club. Ernest Leinhof, Deputy Collector, Internal Revenue, 3rd N. Y. District. Alfred Simon, Deputy Collector Internal Revenue, 3rd N. Y. District. Wm. Geisler, prohibition agent Charles Mullaney, prohibition agent Albert Lazarus, prohibition agent John J. Fitzsimmons, U. S. Marshal. Owe An Explanation. A pregnant query to put these men, say interested observers, is did they, as Federal officeholders, lend themselves to the task of advising the cutting of regular Republican candidates. On order of the district leader who was him, self the regular Republican candidate for Assemblyman? It is hardly possible to believe this of these workers, and it is pointed out that they owe the people an explanation or denial. ASSES CONDEMN LEADERSHIP' POSITION TO REV. R. M. BOLDEN statement attributed to Rev. R. M. before the Interdemonial nomination by the Rev. Calvin Lane in his R. Moore said that he called Rev. he him his first information as to name him, Bolden, as delegate invention, and suggested to Bolden it would be better to take the till he, Bolden could confer with leaders. Moore, was the suggestion made office to "talk over matters," and cannot be made too strong. have him (Bolden) to come to your office to talk over affairs before he accepted the honor which had come so unsought, as by his statement. From Rev. Bolden's remarks, he explains his intention to talk over affaies with Bolden, whose claim is that he cares nothing at all about going to the convention. "A plain man, who knows nothing of the curious ways by which the wit of sly politicians can work, would be apt to wonder how such affairs might work, what seems to me the promise of an eventual break between you and Rev. Bolden. "Your election last fall was the result of a greater union of Negro voters than has existed in Harlem before. This union and election constrained The Age to say some weeks ago that it has national significance. That assertion was the political leaders hereabouts, nor was it any too pleasing to the politicians of the Bolden calibre. On the part of those white politicians who had most to do with bringing forward the name of Rev. Bolden as delegate, something must be done to break the promising union of Negro voters in Harlem lest in the future Negroes elect their own to fill many political offices of honor and emoluments of the politicians in question knew well the wires to pull to accomplish their desired ends. To my way of thinking, this was the real aim in naming Mr. Bolden for delegate." Mrs. L, S. Campbell, president of one of Harlem's strongest organizations, has written as follows: "Hundreds of citizens are with you for- exposing Rev. Richard Bolden. Of course, some of the spinstine ones will try to helpless the revelation made, and will try pray in Harlem. No one who knows Rev. Bolden has ever taken him seriously. He is not the re-initiative of the colored people in Harlem, Rev. Bolden, no doubt in blessing the white bosses down, but in putting them in the place they will wake up and learn that the colored people are by no means sleepy nor are they fools. "The truth is, this 'Me and God director of the colored people's space' has itself kept apart, with the progress of the time. He is pounding along far in the rear, urging the restless, progressive strong to fall while he hurts ahead of chasing himself to catch up and realize. "Now occasions teach new duties, Times makes ancient good, uncouth; they must upward still and onward Who would keep abreast with Truth'. "We, as an organization, are standing behind you as we stand and we stand for that which rightfully belongs to him. Our birthright is not to be sold for a mess of pottage." A letter from James B. White of 159 West 145th street, refers to members of the doctors, declaring 'it is amusing to read the recent statement of the Rev. R. M. Bolden, a supposed fearless race leader'. Mr. White forms Rewilden a self-appointed unit, whose members know what he gets comes from the whites, and that he is not foolish enough to try fighting them, is a pointless joke. Continuing, Mrs. White writes in part: "The time is at hand when the black man should demand recognition politically. In the Jewish districts you will find Jewish leaders, Italian district leaders, Italian leaders, and practically all large racial groups in the city have their respective leaders EXCEPT THE COLORED MAN. Why should we have real leaders who are Negroes? "Does Rev. Dolden realize that he is pastoring a church of colored men and women? Although he may have a few, white members, the vast majority of his members and Negroes are from them. He mentioned that Abraham Genthal had contributed to his church. Does he mean by that that the black man must be wearing babe because one or two white men give him or his a few dollars? "I am strongly in favor of throwing off the yoke of the white man's dictating to the Negroes as we know that I voice the sentiments of thousands and thousands in Hazlem when I say that Rev Jolien should get down in sack cloth and ashes and repent for what he did with his white leadership as against black or Negro leadership or our people." And to show the extent of the racial reaction, the national secretary of the Association of Negro Tailors, Designers and Dressmakers, Tyson, N.J., that Rev Bolden's statement is an outrage upon American civilization. I am confident that his leadership is at an end. One of the reasons why we cannot go ahead is because of these self-styled leaders. He is a straight-Aged folksager" and from Norfolk, Conn. Mrs. Alice Bailey Saunders gives expression to her opinion in the following bilingual language: "Alafar reading that man Bolden's opinion of race leadership,—the man who calls himself minister to work with us up here in Connecticut are wondering what sort of people this so-called minister is preaching to. Surely they must be people with but little minds of their own or afflicted with brain softening, to FRIENDLY·ADVICE·on Have You a T for Your H Your C Insure their College Ec for it Now.

June in on WBAF Mutual Sow- ings Hour Every Friday M. DIME S BANK SINED 1859 ve., New York City $125,000,000 Interstate Commerce Commission, In Formal Decision, Dismisses Plea Of Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters Washignton, D. C.—The Interstate Commerce Commission will not help the Pullman porters of the country to abolish tips. The commission today formally dismissed the complaint of the Brotherhood of sleping Car Porters against the Pullman Company, which was aimed against the giving of gratuities by passengers. The record does not show that the commission may have considered that the shock to the passengers would be too great, but it did take into consideration the fact that passengers were accus- In their complaint the porters protested that they were from long practice compelled to depend on gratuities for a considerable portion of their wages, that this fact was known to the Pullman company, which was a party to the practice and promised this compulsion. That was a violation of the contract of the Interstate Commerce act in that passengers felt compelled to pay more for service than the lawfully published rate and that there was an induce prejudice and discrimination against those who paid unequal amounts and received unequal service. - Lack of Juriediction Cited. The commission held that it lacked jurisdiction and therefore approved the motion to dismiss, an unusual practice. In most cases if a motion to dismiss has foundation in a prior decision, it gives given opportunity to amend its pleadings to open the subject to examination. Commissioner Aitchison, Eastman and Lewis, joined in a dissenting opinion. They held that the complaint seemed to state facts which the commission should continue to violate of the Interstate Commerce act and possibly the Elkins act. The porters said in their complaint that their membership represented men of character, who did not consider their position or for one in which they should have to defend their company, it was averred, started its business just after the emancipation of the Negro, when it was customary for "members of the rate to volunteer personal service to the company in the graft or tip, and that the company be built up and fostered the practice. The Majority Opinion. In the majority opinion Commissioner Brainer said: "We understand that it is not contended that the tips so given to and received by said porters become the defendant's property or that they are turned over or other passengers are under no legal obligation to pay more than the scheduled charges. "We are referred to no law which probits tipping of Pullman porters. Certainly, in the acts which we administer there is no direct reference to tipping or that by reasonable inference may be said to refer thereto. Tipping in the Pullman service was practiced long before Congress began to regulate interstate carriers and it is reasonable to assume that Congress intended the practice of either giving or receiving tips to be unlawful. We have expressed express terms. Moreover, a consideration of the complaint in all of its aspects leads only to the conclusion that real objectives sought are increased wages for the porters and maids in the defendant's employ. We have no power to impose any authority no authority to injure into the justness of the complainant's demands, however meritorious they might prove to be." Changes In Ratings Of Health Week Awards Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Departing from its long established custom of awarding cups to the clubs rated highest in the observance of National Negro Health Week, the National Clean-up and Paint-up Bureau is this year offering the prizes as follows for the fourteenth annual Negro Health Week, April 1-8. The community, making the best showing in Health Week observance; to the city of less than one hundred thousand, and to the city of more than one hundred thousand, making the best showing in their respective classes. An additional sweepstake prize will be given to the winners in competitive comparison with the other two winners receives the highest rating. This change was made because the committee on promotion of Negro Health Week felt that the smaller cities have been unable to compete with larger cities with their greater number of social and health agencies and more adequate facilities. Under the new arrangement representatives of each class will have an opportunity to win a cup. The classes from rural communities and smaller cities indicate that there will be more general observance of the week among them this year than formerly. The cups will be awarded the twenty-ninth annual meeting of the National Negro Business Lea- HEALTH IS HERE By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Care Of The Small Cuts The importance of proper care of minor injuries, such as small cuts, can hardly be over-emphasized. We often hear of someone who is suffering from severe infection, or blood poisoning, because he neglected one of these minor injuries. Most of this suffering is unnecessary. It could have been prevented by good care in the beginning. If you cut your finger, your hand or any part of your body, paint with iodine or mercuriochrome immediately. It should then be protected from dirt and germs by the application of a sterilized bandage. If you bathe the wound be sure that the water has been previously washed. Under no conditions should you be a coiled handkerchief or any soiled linen as a bandage. If in spite of these precautions the wound, even though a slight one, becomes painful consult your physician. Careful attention to the scallal cuts and injuries when they first occur may save you from serious suffering, and loss of time from work later, not to mention safeguarding yourself from severe blood poisoning, which may even result in the necessity of amputating the infected part.

BURROUGHS I am sitting in a beautiful, comfortable, honey room on the seventh floor of the Phyllis Wheatley home (Cleveland, O.J.) I am looking over busy streets, tall buildings and into beautiful Lake Erie. Out in the corridor I hear girls, hurrying hither and thither, chanting, laughing, happy and gay. The telephone for the seventh floor is in the hall near my door. It keeps up a tingling, and each girl, expectant and hopeful, that the next call is for her, runs to answer the phone. Sometimes it is for her, and sometimes it is for somebody else. The calls are from friends, some male and some female, some social, some business, but all dispatched with the efficiency and courtesy of a great business concern. One girl has just had a call from a friend, who, doctbless, asked how she liked the new building. “Like it?” she exclaimed, “child, it is beautiful I am crazy about it, and we girls have every comfort. Believe me, it is swell.” And it is swell. I was so glad to hear this happy, young business woman, who has just come to live if the Phyllis Wheatley, express my sentiments—sentiments of appreciation and gratitude. The new Phyllis Wheatley home is the greatest social and economic welfare achievement among women of our day. Jane Hunter has given to her women and girls a business and social institution that takes high rank among the best in the world. Women and girls who are looking for employment and advancement in the field of industry and service, can find no better place nor a more stimulating atmosphere than is offered by the Phyllis Wheatley Association through its tremendous modern, well organized and efficiently conducted departments. Girls and women who are looking for convivences, comfort and home-like life, with the kind of social freedom that is safe and yet without unnecessary restraint, will find it at the Phyllis Wheatley home. The mother of the late Jane Hunter has us the biggest hotel for Negro women in the whole country. Women of every calling, profession and trade will find anything from simply furnished inexpensive rooms to the most elegantly furnished rooms with private baths, but all home, cheerful and comforting. Phyllis Wheatley dining room is beautiful and spacious. The meals are delicious. The social rooms are attractive and restful. Every convenience for health and happiness and enjoyments is right there for everybody. Every floor is connected by telephone. The elevator is running every minute from the basement to the ninth floor.

Early Diagnosis Of Tuberculosis The New York Tuberculosis and Health Association is conducting a campaign to impress upon the public the importance of early diagnosis of disease. We want our mothers to be on their guard for the appearance of the signs and symptoms of tuberculosis in their babies and children up to the age of 14 years. These are the matters to be considered. FAMILY HISTORY—It is of importance to know if any of the grand-parents were sufferers from tuberculosis or chronic coughs, or had attack of blood-spitting. If a mother is tuberculous the newborn baby should be removed from the birth room if a cult thing to do sometimes, as sentiment gets the better of calm judgment. ENVIRONMENT Overcrowding in apartments is responsible for the dissemination of much tuberculosis. If your baby is a member of such a household he should be carefully guarded. Don't forget the lodger who coughs incessantly or who is not careful to fond of your baby that they "smother him with kisses". Don't let anyone kiss your baby in the mouth, not even yourself. Home may be bare, but it can be clean too. There is no excuse for dirt. Disease germs thrive in such surroundings. Even if they be not of the tuberculous variety, they subject to repeated infections the lungs may suffer in them more susceptible to tuberculosis. PAST HISTORY—If your child has had measles or whooping cough or pneumonia you should not be content until your doctor has ruled out a physical examination, plus an x-ray examination of the lungs, for these diseases are very frequently followed by tuberculosis. Glands should be removed if a charge over long periods should make you be on your guard. If your child has pleurisy, or a chronic cough, or repeated periods of fever, you should suspect tuberculosis until it is definitely ruled out. PRESENT CONDITION—In children under two years of age of the most frequent EARLY signs of tuberculosis is a stationary or decreasing weight. Even if a child is malnourished (which may lead to a decreased loss of the lysis) there should be a steady increase in weight. The second sign which it is possible for you to observe is fever. I mean a fever which persists for a month or more. Along with the malnutrition it be noticed the child has a pale, pasty complexion with a face that looks well-nourished in proportion to the rest of the body. Observe your child's posture. A lean individual with round shoulders, winged shoulder and a pale, pasty extremities has what is known as the tuberculous physique. This does not necessarily mean the presence of tuberculous disease, but such children should be carefully watched. We have seen appearances of developmental development in whom we found evidence of tuberculosis. A pink complex may exist in the presence of disease, especially in blondes. Infants seldom spit blood, older children may, so the child should be examined for tuberculosis. Pain in the chest may not be due to tuberculosis, but in an older child the persistence of such a condition is significant. We have seen tuberculosis of the voice in a child of twelve which had a child had been hoarse for a period of months, but it was thought that he had acquired the "base voice" of early manhood. We have repeatedly emphasized that children are very active and playful when healthy and that children and likes to "lie around" and always seems tired this is a warning which should be investigated.

We may for example have early cases if every child had a test for tuberculosis done on him. Have your child tested! City-Wide Meeting Of Brooklyn Y. W. C. A.

J.—Trenton's Sunlight Lodge of Elks, with the aid of a newly-completed home, representing an investment of approximately $300,000 and which, to quote a citation from the secretary of the National Grand Lodge, "actually excels in beauty and worthiness that of any other colored Elks home within the jurisdiction of the United States. Canada or Africa," is at work to uplift the colored community of the city, morally, socially and spiritually. this new building, which is really a thing of beauty and is stamped with the mark of progress, is situated on Fowler street—extending to be exact, from 30 to 44 Fowler street—its Colonial style of architecture standing out impressively against its comparative background and surroundings which unfortunately are not of the best but which should improve by force in good example. This inspection of such a sum for the erection of a fraternal home amid the drab surroundings of Fowler street makes a message when one considers that it was within the power of the Sunlight Lodge to acquire a property on Willow street or elsewhere. But not Adherence to the Golden Rule prompted officials of the organization to "stay at home." "Perhaps it was a realization of the necessity for elevating conditions in the colored section that promoted us to build where we did." is the explanation offered by Attorney Bernard Johnson, exalted ruler of the lodge "We are primarily interested in seeking toward the welfare of our own people." added Mr. Johnson, who is a memBER of the Mercer County Bar Association "This nucleus of refinement oplied in our new home will soon become widespread in this community it is our firm belief." Vehicles From All Over the East Use approaching the new town, the brick building one is imminent, and impressed with its storiedness and its art of comfort and luxury. Put together a word picture can adequately describe the pleasantness, simplicity and neat arrangements which have gone into its building. Its dedication was an event in the chored communal life of Trenton and was largely codeled to his representation of like the arrows of the past. The bridge, part of the bridge now rendering approximate to 400 and in its 20th year was paid by George I. States, of New York, the secretary of the National Grand Lodge. Since its opening, large delegates from other colored Eklids lodges in different parts of the country have paid official visits to the new home, carrying away laudatory comments on the fine achievement of the Sunlight Lodge Artistry, indeed, is blended into this structure, construction of which alone cost $130,000. There are two entrances—one from Fowler street, for members, with a marble and tile vestibule and a leaded glass transom, leading into a foyer, and a side entrance for the public, which leads to the auditorium. The latter entrance is perhaps one of the most attractive assets to the entire building, with its marquese lights concealed behind cathedral glass. To the left of the main entrance is the suite of offices, which includes the private sanctum of T. Edward Kinnes, lodge auditor, financial secretary and chairman of the building committee; a general office and an information bureau. These rooms are fully equipped with all the necessary office appliances, with steel files, a storage file, mimeograph machines and bright, mahogany furniture. It might be stated here that all the furniture in the building was especially made for the home Many Accommodations for Rectification. Operate the suite of offices are to be found semi-private telephone booths built into the wall, with French doors covered with mover casement cloth. A stairway leads from the foyer to the downstair floor, where there is to be found a large wallhill room containing three specially-made tables. A natural fireplace in the rooms retains the Colonial atmosphere Above the fireplace an antler will be placed, with dwarferies on the windows. A downstair check room is now in the stages of completion. The billiard room leads into a room furnished with individual lockers. Several doors lead into shower rooms and a drying room, all of tile. The basement of the houses a barber shop with a entrance from the street. This room, though not an office, is completed will have open to the public and will have three chairs. The living system is in the rear of the room and is fully equipped with a water tank of 250-call And they arrive from the basement to the auditorium on the first floor. This is the revenue producer's place of the structure, or, it is extensively advertised in a multimedia 2,000 persons comfortably officers of the lodge are already received reservations and trainees from national and state boards that are planning to sions and social affairs. It is expected that representative colored folk from virtually 'all parts of the country will attend affairs in the Sunligt Lodge auditorium during the course of a year. Attractive Auditorium. There are many attractions to the auditorium. Silhouette signs replace the commonplace exit lights above doors. Two lodge on either side of a motion-picture projection booth accommodate 25 persons each, while on the other side a balcony will comfortably seat several doreen Leathered upholstery rockers and settees and a suspended chandelier over the orchestra pit add to the attractiveness of the balcony floor. The auditorium is given a novel color effect when lit up. Windows and doors are adorned with draperies of maroon colour pinned with gold fringe over screen net curtains. Trophies awarded to the Sunlight Lodge by the National Grand Lodge are on display in the glass case in the auditorium, from which is partitioned off a ladies' room, handsomely furnished in simile taste by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Temple. Leaving the auditorium, through the main foyer, one ascends a stairway which leads to the second floor and the lodge room. Here again ample space is provided for an audience against overflow, more than portable can be opened to extend the floor into almost double height. An admiring room provides locked rooms so the officer can watch the audience while sitting. Here is kept an entry into the wall. A reception room, rooming room, a bar and a kitchen can be a regard for far glided and fitted counter. Luxurious Social Room. It shows a trainee the first showing a member will with hold the real surprise for the last. Depending to the ground floor one is the first into the real room and here and old is concrete beauty. I express sorrow in presenting an array of thousands of dollars, make other parts of the building, despite their own indulgent and beauty seem dull in comparison. In a corner one sees a baby grand piano adorned with an ornate purple Spanish shawl. Throughout the room are scattered 72 candelabras covered with silk shades. A southern monastery predominates on open fireplace giving one a cozy-like treeling. Above the fireplace hangs a six-year old FI head, killed in Yellowstone. Park Around the fireplace are iron shovels and poker. Seven wrought iron floor lamps with parchment shades stand out with a retirement of their own. A hand-carved cuckoo clock strikes out each 15 minutes. This was presented to the club by Dr Howard Bundy, first exalted ruler. Adjoining the social room is a library room, with two corresponding desks, a large table and walls flanked with shelves. L. Osborn Hunt drew the plans for the home, and Thomas Day & Sons did the construction work Credit, too belongs to H. L. Mack, the specification man. Soon the Sunlight Lodge will begin a membership drive. The officers want to enroll a thousand new members. This they believe can be read to be complied. The building ahead is selling a approach to ward orientation to the command on the colored community for enrollment is increasing daily. One has only to make an inspection tour of the building. The board of governors of the Trenton Lodge, No. 105, B P O E, paid an official visit to the home last week and were more than mildly surprised at the progress colored men have made. Officers of the Sunlight Lodge are Attorney J. Bernard Johnson exalted ruler, George M. Brown esteemed leading knight, Samuel S. Dade, loyal knight, Grier Brister, lecturing knight; T. Edward Kinney, financial secretary; P. Harold Johnson recording secretary Pascal F. Lee, treasurer Oscar Laws, esquire Joseph Randall, organist; Rev Charles E.

S. Duncanson, who died abroad in 1871. Duncanson, probably unknown to many of the present day, began his work in Cincinnati in 1843, and the Ant. Slaves' League, realizing his talent, sent him to Edinburgh, Scotland, to study. He specialized in historical canvases" some of his no table pictures being "Shlock and Jessica," the "Rums of Cartage, The Western Hunts' Encompass," the "Battle Ground of the River Ranse," and the Shakespeare picture. One of Duncanson's pictures is said to have been purchased by the late Queen Victoria and is hanging today in Windsor Castle. Lost Picture Is Found The Trial of Shakespeare," painted about 1843, was lost for a number of years, but was finally found, about 1917, in the dusty attic of a colored family at Mt. Healthy, Or. It was purchased and restored by F. Wright of Mt. Healthy, who had made a study of Duncanus's work. After restoration it was exhibited at Traxel's, Cummingham, attracting much attention. The canvas, thirty by forty inches, was purchased by the Gano family; later it was given to a faithful Negro servant, who passed it on to the family in whose possession it was then discovered by Mr. Wright. It depicts the story of Shakespeare at trial before the magistrate, Sir Thomas Lucy on a poisoning charge, and Anne Hathaway, with her child, is close by her side. Eleven human figures, two great bounds, and a deer, are pictured in the scene. Frank Collins, executive vice-president of the National Supply Co., was the donor, and made the presentation, the response being made by Albert M. King, president of the Center.

Considerable importance is attached to the primary elections in all sections this year as indicative of the trend of popular sentiment pointing toward a choice of presidential candidates. Ordinarily few but those personally interested in politics vote at the primaries, so the contests are in most cases only to be regarded as indexes to the tactics of the professional politicians. Nevertheless, in case of a contest for leadership, or for a place in the convention, the ordinary voter is solicited to take a hand in the fight. In New York State the Republican leaders have the situation well in hand. They have named seven delegates at large, without committing the delegation to the support of any one candidate, begged indicating a preference for Mr. Coolidge, if he can be prevailed upon to change his mind about running. Individual delegates like ex-Senator Calder of Brooklyn, have professed a desire for the nomination of Secretary Hoover, and by many he is regarded as the legitimate successor to the Coolidge support. The colored voters of New York were recognized by the naming of Mrs. Louise M. Rayerweather of Brooklyn as an alternate delegate at large to the Kansas City convention. Senator Borah sought to add to the general confusion of the situation in a speech made before the Idaho Society at Washington, in which he demanded that the Republican party nominate a man for President who has the courage to disclose his real views on public questions. In effect, the Idaho Senator echoed the sentiments expressed by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler not long ago, denouncing pussyfooting. As Senator Borah bluntly put it, "a candidate who has no views upon public questions is unfit, a candidate who has views and is afraid to state them is unsate." While the point of this statement cannot be disputed, it looks as if the Idaho Senator was trying to upset the other fellow's apple cart. This test is not a bad one to apply to most of the candidates in the running. So far as the Negro voters are concerned, they can best determine the views of any candidate by referring to his past record of performance, rather than his speeches made during a campaign for office. Judged by this standard, Mr. Lowden's record as Governor of Illinois would rank him high as an able and unbiased administrator of public affairs. Mr. Hoover's direction of flood relief in the Mississippi valley would also commend him as energetic and capable in the execution of his policies. The fact that such professional politicians, as the National Committeemen from Georgia and Mississippi look favorably on his prospects, should not prejudice his candidacy. In the meantime, the voters of the race will contain themselves in patience, trusting that out of this conflict of views and suppression of views, there may emerge a strong candidate, to whom they may look for a fair and square deal in politics, something that has not come their way for a long time. Such a candidate would command their enthusiastic support at the polls. WASHINGTON'S MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT. The proposition to transfer the office of Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia from Federal control has caused widespread alarm among the colored residents of the district and has emphasized the strong feeling of distrust of the district and municipal authorities. This was strikingly shown in a letter written by Neval H. Thomas, addressed to Representative Zilman of Maryland, the author of the measure providing for the change. Among other things it said: We oppose the change because long experience has taught us not to expect anything like equity from our Municipal administration, in anyone of the many departments of government, save in the payment of taxes, in furnishing soldiers for war. Under the present system we have a competent, upstanding Negro official, named by the President, and reasonable number of efficient Negro clerks. Under our Commissioners we would lose this high office that we have held almost continuously for forty-five years, even under that great Democratic statesman, Grover Cleveland. Our clerks would dwindle and the department would be in a municipal building. Prejudice would hamper, there as it does in the police department where no Negro officer, almost always the superior of his white comrade, can rise to the smallest directive position. "It would affect the department of the medical Nurses, the department having dropped the most efficient one it had, upon the discovery that she is colored. Time was when the Negro population of the District of Columbia had more adequate representation in the local government. It was during the administration of President Grant that three members of this group were appointed to the legislative council, sometimes called the upper house of the territorial legislature of the District. One of these members was Frederick Douglass, who afterward served under President Hayes as United States marshal and under President Garfield as recorder of deeds of the district. The representation given by Grant in the council was declared more proportionate than any given in later years, after the local government passed into the hands of commissioners, who were invariably white men, although at least one-third of the population is colored. Nor was this participation of the minority in the responsibilities of public office confined to Mr. Douglass. During the period referred to, John F. Cook served as collector of taxes, W. D. Montague had charge of the bureau of licenses, David Warner was chief clerk or deputy under Mr. Cook, a colored man was a deputy fire commissioner, three colored detectives were in the police department and the fire department was mixed as to personnel. From all this it will be apparent that racial prejudice has vastly increased at the national capital during the past half century and by various devices it has robbed the Negro residents of equitable representation in the local government, to which they pay taxes and which they help to support. Instead of taking away the solitary local office in which they have any representation, the proper thing would be to give them representation on the commission that has charge of district affairs. It is well that the reasons for opposing the Zilman bill should be so explicitly stated as Mr. Thomas has done in his letter. The truth is that the colored citizens of Washington do not possess the measure of representation in public affairs that they had fifty years ago. While they have advanced materially and educationally, politically they have retrograded. There is much lost ground to be recovered. A BRITISH GOVERNOR'S OPINION Sir Gordon Guggisberg was lately governor of the Gold Coast, West Africa, and a high official of the British Empire, which counts among its subjects a few millions of native Africans. Sir Gordon made a recent tour of the United States, spending some months here at the invitation of the Phelps Stokes Fund, and was particularly interested in Negro education. He was specially struck by the work done at Tuskegee and Hampion, and at Penn College in South Carolina. He also came in contact with members of the race in Atlanta, Chicago and Harlem, representing various ranks and professions. His views on the progress and prospects of the American Negro, with certain conclusions related to the native Africans, were given to a correspondent of the London Observer. These views and impressions were summed up in the following statement: "The twelve million Negroes in the United States are one of her most important and most valuable assets, and in every way they can claim to be as good Americans as the white people, for they have been in the country as long." Sir Gordon found a general spirit of sympathy on the part of the better white men in the South with the Negro, which was particularly fostered by the Interracial Committee movement. Nevertheless, he found the color line rigidly drawn, when it comes to giving the colored community political power or social equality. The first exception he attributed to the fact that the colored race was given the franchise in reconstruction times before it was fully prepared to exercise it. He regarded the educational progress of the race during the past thirty years as truly remarkable, "a greater progress than any other race has made in the same time." He pronounced the future full of hope. All that is happening in America with regard to Negro development is regarded as having an important bearing on the future of Africa. Concerning this phase of the matter Sir Gordon said: The first and most satisfactory thing I have learnt from my American experiences is that my belief in the potentiality of the African is completely convinced. The must learn a lesson from places like Tuskegee and especially understand the necessity of the taking of schools into the country and keeping in close touch with the community. Achinuta and similar centres will be able to take education into Africa, but the higher education alone of Africans is not sufficient. It and industrial training would go hand in hand, and there should be a large number of industrial schools acting as community centres and linked with central institutions for both higher technical training and higher education. This is carrying the Tuskegee idea into Africa. It is, as the British visitorronounced the original institution in Alabama, "a marvelous tribute to the genius of Dr. Booker T. Washington."

AMERICANS IN CUBA In an enthusiastic communication addressed to the editor of The Age, R. M. Nelson writes from Havana that he came there from New York City in 1898 and found Cuba an Eden land, a free land, so he chose there to stay. Mr. Nelson is evidently a booster of Cuban climate and conditions; as he quotes medical advice as to the efficacy of spending the winter months in the tropics for health improvement and longevity.

Mr. Nelson is evidently a booster of Cuban climate and conditions; as he quotes medical advice as to the efficacy of spending the winter months in the tropics for health improvement and longevity. His slogan reads: Come to Cuba and see Macco's $5,000,000 Memorial. Come to Cuba and see "the fairest isle man's eyes ever beheld." Own a farm in Cuba for wealth. Own a bungalow in Cuba for health and recreation. Spend your next vacation in Cuba and rejoice to see all colors of God's children walking in his sunlight, upright, unmolested, untrammeled, unafraid. And yet the writer of this moving appeal admits that too many "crackers" come to Cuba by every boat from Dixie. He refers to a full page advertisement of suburban real estate development And yet the writer of this moving appeal admits that too many "crackers" come to Cuba by every boat from Dixie. He refers to a full page advertisement of a suburban real estate development styled Biltmore Havana, as being sold "in the sky at sky-high prices." A similar enterprise, seventy-five miles east of the Biltmore tract, is being developed by American capital. Soon, he predicts, Cuban real estate will be too costly for small buyers. Already it is estimated that American whites have a billion and a half dollars invested in Cuba. Because of the island's proximity to the United States, only ninety miles from Key West, Florida, and being washed by the Gulf Stream, Cuba's real estate will ever increase in value. Discounting a bit of Mr. Nelson's enthusiasm, as due to an invincible spirit of optimism, the classified advertising sheet of the Havana Morning Post presents an array of wants and for rents, in English, which testifies to the number of Americans seeking apartments and service. They constitute an element of the population well worth catering to in the renting of rooms and the selling of houses and estates. Pawn brokers offer to loan the visitors who go broke money on their valuables, while doctors and lawyers offer their aid in case of disease or divorce. A country club orchestra offers music for dance purposes, while lessons can be had in modern or Spanish dancing. Lessons in correct Spanish may be had especially for Americans with shorthand and typewriting added in some cases. Chinese cooks seek to furnish chow for American families while a lady of wonderful vision offers consultations as to future events, with a beauty secret on the side. The churches are also represented by such English speaking denominations, as the Christian Science Society, the Union Church (inter-denominational), Baptist Church, Anglican Episcopal, Roman Catholics, Methodist, United Hebrew Congregation and the Salvation Army. Then the social life of the capital is indicated by a list of Havana clubs, including the American, American Legion, British, Jewish Center, Centro Macebo, Country Club. Order of the Eastern Star, the Lions and other organizations. The American invasion of Cuba appears to have attained considerable proportions from an economic standpoint, and is undoubtedly an important factor in the material development of the island. How it will work out in the political and social development of the Cubans is another question. Judging from our correspondent's enthusiastic comments, the evil communications of Southern prejudice have not yet corrupted the good manners of the native Cubans. The great trouble with the invasion of the Caribbean countries by white Americans from the United States is that too many of the immigrants, from the Southern States mostly, carry with them their color and racial prejudices, which they seek to intpose upon their new environment. This has tended to aggravate the unrest in Haiti, in addition to the exploitation of the country in the interest of American capital. The same thing in a more insidious form is being practised in Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands. In the former possession, as the insular government is largely in the hands of the Porto Ricans, the inroads of American prejudice have been less violent in outward manifestations. While Cuba possesses a republican form of government, it is economically and to a large extent politically, under Odyssey of M. Bellegarde and M. Hudicourt Odyssey of M. Bellegarde and M. Hudicourt THE AGE READERS' FORUM Translated From Le Tempis Port-A-Prince (continued from February 18). Because we did not have passports we were sent, despite our protests, to the quarantine station, Cabo Cayan. On leaving the immigration office we found a group of Haitians who had come for news. They left in indignation. The next day we learned they had immediately sent to Pres. Machado a protest against the disgraceful treatment meted out to them by the Haitian reflection upon the entire Haitian citizen population. The most eminent countrymen reading in Santiago signed this dispatch. When we arrived at Cabo Cayan, a block of houses quite a distance from the city, we were put in the care of a subordinate official. We hastily prepared "telegrams to be sent to Malal Qua'at, Secretary of State of Cuba; to Antonio de Juzguente, president of the Conference; to a friend M. Hudcourt, Cosme la Torrentie, and to H. de Saezandra, editor of Diarra de la Marina. We gave the telegrams to an employee who has accompanied us and who had received orders from his superior for his assistance for him. He estimated the cost of them to be about seventen dollars which we gave him at once. M. Hudcourt then prepared a typewritten letter to the Director of the Immigration Office in which we set against his pretext for sending us the mail station, the official letter of the University at Port-au-Prince, saying that we needed no document to land in Cuba. We had counted on securing a good meal in Santiago, but had to content ourselves with potatoes and condensed milk which the guard, a native of Santiago, to us. This young sergeant was very attentive. We could not help thinking, however, while looking at the Browning he carried that our life was in his hands.

He sanitary division was at work making the quarters more comfortable by attacking the mosquitoes which infested the place. In the waiting room we found some of our countrymen who, lured to Cuba by grandmother promises, were waiting for some companion to take them out of this prison. The visit completed, we took a carriage for the wharf. In passing we saw a number of Yankees arrivals on a United Fruit liner. I had not the curiosity to ask the Director if he demanded their passports, or if he were going to send some of them to take our place at Cabo Cayan. Some reporters from "Pais" and "Caribou" were on the wharf. They photographed the situation and motion about our detention and deportation. While we were securing our tickets the employee to whom we had given the telegraphers the day before came up and told us that since our telegraphers had been sent as of- From The Leper Colony Editor The New York Age I have been a very sick man for the last six months, but am much better haw and can read my paper now.

We did not get but we brought up the spectre of Haiti before the Conference. The outrage at Santiago has clearly placed our situation not only before the United States but, before the whole world. The 6th Pan American Conference will accomplish nothing if it does not remove the nightmare with which the occupation of Haiti and the intervention in Nicaragua have burdened the political life of all Latin America. These facts, however, do not alter my contempt in the plan. It is as I said before, the best labor organization in the world, appears to the contrary notwithstanding. If we were as careless about pick our congressman and represent me, we would not meet they pick to represent them. I think we should soon condemn that form of government and it is getting pretty bad at that. In the first place the man who elects half of them don't know who they are voting for unless the district superintendent one or the P. P. B. A officials call one. In other words, the porters never get together and discuss working conditions and what might be done to better them. So the only way any recommendations are made is to unless a porter gets in trouble when the committee gets busy (maybe). I think every porter should know his committee-man and every committee-man should know the working conditions in every branch of the service in his district, that is sleeping car parlor car, bullet dead head service, extra men opportunities, that is a man interested in them all for a man interested in them all for a benefit of the men he repenses and unless he shows up to be that type of man should not be elected. But to take time and look into such matters as that is too much trouble for the average porter so long as he is doing well, and whose attitude is who worry about the other fellow. The company tells the porter "tick one among ourselves elect him for your interests. We will pass him for his services, transportation will be free and we will pay all expenses." What the porters need to do is meet now and again, know each other's handpieces and how they can be bettered. Spell the best you have forward and get the best possible returns. Don't send a fool who will try to drive the superintendent out of the office. Don't send a forward to what he wants. Don't send a man who knows what he wants but doesn't know how to get it. Representing a group men with an employer of thousands and thousands of men is not as easy as the sections of porters would indicate. They go about the election in brains. Commenting upon the anti-lynching bill adopted by the Virginia legislature, the Savannah Tribune said: "By a unanimous vote the Virginia seuate has passed an anti-lynching bill. In doing so this state has redeemed herself with the lynchings of the that has been cast upon her by the lynchings of the past two years. 11. points the way for other states, and the hope is expressed that right soon these states will do likewise. It is far more satisfactory for the states to enact such laws than for Congress to do so. The citizens then have greater reason for such enactments, with a feeling that they are forced to do so. This law also provides for compensation for the family of the person lynched. There may be some weight to the suggestion that it is more satisfactory for the States to enact such laws, than for Congress to do so it will depend largely upon how the law is regarded by the public and executed by the authorities. Referring to the tactics adopted by the Lily White Republicans in their efforts to control the delegation to the Kansas City convention, the Louisiana Weekly of New Orleans said WHO IS going to be it? Seems to be the pertinent question being raised at this juncture by the lily whites since the refusal of the Hon. Henry E. Braden and Mr. Victor Collins to serve as members of the Kunta-packed State Central Committee. The Lilly Whites are bending every effort and straining every energy to secure some prominent Negro to act as a smoke screen for them at the coming Republican convention in Kansas City. It is their desire to secure the service of some Negro who will not seek to have any voice in State politics. They will not act as instructed, or in other words, play "monkey on the string." I pull, you jump We think that the "hat-m-hand Negro" has passed from the scenes and that the rising age of color demands that the Negro of today have the backbone and the manhood to stand up and hold the Norfolk in the face of him. "Even though they clay me, I shall not betray them." We may be wrong in thinking that all of the "hat-m-hand Negroes" are dead, but we cannot conceive the idea of a prominent member of our group stooping so low as the betrayal of the group for a good time in life. If we fail to do that, we will pass the hat and give the brother a trip and not have him to sell his birthright for a cup of porridge. Incidentally, the Louisiana Weekly reproduced an editorial from The Age, under the heading of "Other Views," but without a credit line. The Washington Eagle notes a disposition on the part of some Republican legislators to make the office of Recorder of Deeds a part of the District government. It said Mr. Zhlihman, of Maryland, who numbers many Negroes in his congressional district, has introduced a bill in congress to place the office of the Recorder of Deeds under the Commissioners of the District of Columbia Whether Mr. Zhlihman has done this on his own initiative, or at the request of local Negroes in the district, Whatever the fineness of his bill, know that the colored people of the country will resent it and will, at the proper time show their resentment. The office of the Recorder of Deeds, is the last Presidential office left to the colored people. It is here that capable men and women of our race find employment. It is possibly the only office under the government it is not segregated. It is being as ally conducted as any office under the government. The present Recorder of Deeds, is a lawyer of high standing at the Bar of West Virginia. He has the ability to consult the affairs of his office and to represent the interests of his peers who have had business with this office covering a number of years say that he is the best Recorder the District ever had. During his memorials of the office he has instituted many reforms which have facilitated the transaction of the business of the office he makes it self-supporting. As a matter of fact the office has always carried a surplus. The Washington real estate sharks and the local commissioners of the district are charged with the responsibilities for this attempt to seize up on the recorder's office for the sake of its patronage. The Savannah Tribune told how the white folks of a little Georgia town carried their color prejudice beyond the grave It said: Meldrum is a little town in Efingham county. It bears the name of one of Georgia's foremost citizens. There resides in this little town, a white family, from what they did, can be numbered above the average, for manzanarpalm and consideration. For manzanarpalm twenty years a colored woman was employed by this family. She proved worthy and man was appreciated by her employers. She became seek and made the request that she be buried in the cemetery beside those she served so long and faithfully. The end came when the employees carried out her wish by interring the remains as requested they did trit care and send a man an thought to say "what do we care? I don't make my difference" I say that it would make a difference I am saying this with the wish that every porter in the service would read think and take a lovely interest in his own welfare A certain element in the town be came aborbed because a Negro buried in a white cemetery. They did decide it would not do there must be no contamination and admittance of races like this. They demonstrated their prejudice into the grave. A few nights afterwards some shouted disinterested the remains carried them more than a mile away for burial. We should think that this element of grave robbers should remain aborbed by all decent people. The Tribune suggested that instead of seuding the gospel to the poor heathen, it might be profitably preached at home. Discoursing on "The Saving of Money," the Knoxville Herald mentioned that the Negro race needs more of the Jewish habit of thrift and economy. It continued The love of money may be the root of all evil, and dishonest methods in acquiring money are never to be encouraged nor defended, but the possession of money, or its equivalent, is often determined as the measure of success in the careers of races and of individuals. The Negro race as a laboring class is extremely limited in the amount of money that can be earned nor the trading instinct of the Jew, nor the boarding and saving qualities of the Irish and the Italians. It has been a common saying that an Irishman or an Italian will work side by side with a Negro at the same wages, and in the course of years by the strictest economy will board up enough money to return to their native lands to live in comfort, while the colored man will have less than he originally had, if each of them be possible, this less than that the colored man's vision is limited, and he is not willing to sacrifice a small present for a great feature. "The thrify and economical qualities of the Canadian people have developed to such an extent that in the towns and cities of Canada one sees a bank on nearly every street corner. The depositors are for the most part people who want not more than the average Negro labor of our country. If these people can save and accumulate money and accumulate money and transmit it to their posterity, why can not the Negro race do the same thing? Some of the answers to this question would probably be extravagant living, "good times" and playing the numbers. None of these diversions is helpful toward saving money. The editor of the California Leagle, published at Los Angeles, wazed sentimental in an editorial entitled "If Never Changes," recalling former experiences, as follows. Sunday night sparking is a sacred institution. But for life, life would be at a certain age not worth living and race suicide would become a matter of serious apprehension. The man who has not tender memories of his life, home from Sunday evening service and going is "for little while" is apt to be a acruc bachelor, hating women because he never knew one in her most charming attitude. The man whose youth was penniless at home on Sunday night has stolen from not too unwilling lip has missed half his life. Half? Yes, nine-tenths. The Sunday nights when the first burned low—and the lamp too hallowed a place in the memories of every normal life. The law fire and the glow that reaches all the way to the grave, and maybe beyond it. They who are old and heart-hardened may sneer at it now and think that young hearts should be called as old ones are; but time will find them a looked forward to Sunday night as the golden time of the week. And our fathers did it. And our grandfathers. And our great grandfathers. It is an ancient human custom that did not originate with our own youth or fade with it. Our children do it, in spite of our fears. And our grandchildren will. And our great-grandchildren. Generation come and go, but Sunday night sparkling remains. According to social observations most of the Sunday night sparkling is now done at the movies much to the disgruntlement of the superfluous bachelor who has had to bring his mademan aunt above. The growing importance. Northern Negroes in present-day cities is indicated by the following items. For the first time in the history of Ohio politics two Colleges now have broken upon the regular status of presidential contenders, as candidates for delegate at large from Ohio to the Republican National Convention. Re-elected in 2012, the field is on the Hewlett-Packard and Attorney A Lee Beatty's巾帻 on the Willis line-up—this season the presence of one New York at least among Ohio's big states of Kansas city next June—Jesse L. and Post. For the Negroes have been designated by the Thompson Republican of Chicago as delegates in order to the Republican National Convention. They are Daniel J. Jackson, Darryl D. Priest, Bishop V. L. Summers, Robert R. Jackson and Rose Summers. Atty William I. Dawson posits or of an enviable record as Republican bar, has been nominated as a candidate from the First Congressional District by the Progressive Republican club, which sought to induce Fidel and H.W. Wright to make run—Chicago. Now is the time for the voters to take an interest in the among candidates for the Presidency and for Congress. That is best be done by the medium of delegate. CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Mount Olivet Baptist Church There was a large attendance at Mr. Bustapist Church, 21 Lenox avenue, all day, Sunday, March 11, at morning services, Rev. W. P. H. Strength of Quentiness, and his text was taken from Isaiah 30:15. He drew a vivid mental picture of the hurrying crowds of people in New York and the difficulty to find that匀iness so much needed, and the匀iness such seemed as electricity and gravitation are very strong. The soprano solo by Miss Olive P. Hopkins before the sermon, and the bass solo by Mr. Forlace after the sermon, were excellently rendered. The new member joined the church and there was baptism of four, one female and three males. Barbara Baron (of men) taught J. Johnson, and the Philatelic Bible Class (of women) had their respective meetings at 14.5. The Philatelic Bible Class was taught by the president, Miss Marie Burke, and the theme of the lesson was "The Bible." There was an attendance of 26. The B. Y. P. U. had devotional exercises R. W. Scott, 4th president presided. The topic discussed was "Why do we have Missionary?" The pastor's subject for his discourse at the evening service was "The Sacred Scripture was explained as being spiritual, spiritual, and was taken from John 1st chapter, 11th and 12th verses. Total collection for the day. $424 120 Trio chore, under direction of J. F. Dyer, rendered excellent music throughout the day. Ussion Baptist Church Our Sunday school at 9 a.m. was well attended. Supt Johnson and the departmental superintendents were in charge. At 11 a.m. the choir, under the direction of Prof. Adger, was out during the last six weeks, Prof. Adger during the last six weeks, one of the most outstanding choirs in the city. After several selections, the message was delivered by the pastor from the subject "The Christian Race." This sermon was forceful and fervently presented. Twenty-one additions to the church. The communion service was well attended. Dr. Abner Brown presided in impinging on "Zathath" Members of Metropolitan Baptist Church were present. The hand of fellowship was extended to 50 new members. Selection by the Silverleaf Quartet from Norfolk. Rev. James Moore delivered the closing message of the day. Subject "The Dog In The Manger" Selection by the Silverleaf Quartet Four persons joined the church. Offering amount to $374.2 St. Paul Bapt Church We have in the church a number of younger people, who formerly were active in the services that are adapted to them. Within the last two years, however, practically all the young people have moved from town to the Harlem section. This makes the work of the church a difficult one for persons to all ages but, especially so for the young people, since many of them are students in school, and the time and expense to come and go a distance, and to travel to and from town, them can stand. Yet, we are glad to say, that our young people, when the above conditions are borne in mind, prove themselves to be very local. Our Sunday school numbers about the same as when most of our people lived down town, and we have a large number of distance and expense of reaching the church, their interests still center in St Paul. We expect that by the time another twelve months have passed, our church house will be within walking distance of all its present members, and it will be augmented by many others, to carry the work along vigorously. The outstanding event in the church for the past week, and for the year, was the pageant, "The Queen of Nations," gutted up and forcibly abducted (as Armor) Sykes for the Missionary Society. Sykes has been a member of the church for less than the months, and set, within that time has proved herself so arduous a worker, and so attable in contact with members, that she was able to set practically the same work to make the affair a success. The storm presented some from attending prayer service night but the meeting was one of great spiritual helpliness today the pastor, as usual, was at his church, as he attended an expertion on the Sunday school from the theme, "The Companion Christ." The pastor had come down, expecting Dr. Moses, and without any outlines to be used emergency, but, he preached a Christmas, "The Mind of Christ in Christ." Paradise Baptist Church H. H. W Stanley preached Sunday morning from Genesis 4th chapter 11th sermon was interesting services Sunday school, 9:45 a.m. at 11:00 a.m. by B.

"We to thee that repro- st them was not spoiled; to the treacherously, and they will be so closely with thee we shall cease to spot, thou pe of 11. Lawson said people is here pronounced in this prophecy; but a security and comfort and peace to its people, it will only be obequent. The only two jects—that is, right and wrong, but remember that God is judge of all. He will avenge every evil step. There is a tendency in the human family to spend so much time and energy in their lives, and it is given to getting even with the ones that do its wrong. Some weep, some grieve and become bitter in spirit, because they cannot avenge themselves. Take vengeance upon your enemies, you can only calm that desire in your teeth, and you are no better off in your inward condition, but worse. The energy and time that you spend in trying to avenge the wrongs of your service of love and awesomeness of God. When you shall have learned obedience, fortitude, suffering and humility, He will speedily deliver you. There are many instances where an endeavor to get revenge has caused greater suffering. The empathy between that culminated in the great war of secession in which so many lives was lost in the vain effort of trying to avenge themselves, but the Lord saith unto all, "Oh that my people had heartened unto me, and had walked in my ways, I should soon have subdued their enemies" "Woe to thee that spouted, and was not spotted," evening service was good, large congregation, and a blessed message. St. Mark's M. E. Church The Rev F. H. Clap, recently elected president of Gammont Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., presided at the morning services Rev Clap's test was from the 11th church after her interview.

Our Lord Jesus the Emanuel gathered the important words and formed them into ideas so as to build the prayer for building the prayer thought. This thought had always been vital in the life of people who thought about God.

WASHINGTON Offers Excellent Opportunities to Young Men and Women to Secure an Excellent Literary and Normal Course, and a Course in Mechanical Industries, Women's HERESY CHARGE LAID AGAINST DR. J. D. GORDON Baptist Minister Was A Brooklyn Pastor and Garvey Official Los Angeles, Cal.-Baptist circles are greatly stirred over the trial by fellow ministers of the Rev John D. Gordon, pastor of the Taboracle Baptist Church, on charges of heresy. The charges were laid by the Baptist Minister's Union, and allege that Dr. Gordon denied the atoning blood of Christ; that he denied the resurrection of the body; that the New Testament is not the Gospel of Christ; that he believed in spiritualism; that he had spewed Baptist principles out of his mouth. The hearing was held in the Second Baptist Church, and it was decided to permit Dr. Gordon to make answer to the allegations without interruption, after which the ministers would ask such questions as they desired. Before this decision was arrived at, however, a half day had been spent in wrangling. Dr. Gordon took the floor and made an exhaustive reply to each allegation, as follows: Dr. Gordon Answers First, that by saying that he had spewed the Baptist doctrine out of his system, he meant all the principles as set down by various theologians, because they were merely men of and landed their own opinions as he had laid them down. He believed in the New Testament, regeneration, perseverance of the saints, that he was not obligated to the theologians, but took his gospel from the scripture. Second, that he did say that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John's records were not the doctrine of God, that were only the record of the Gospel. Third, that in speaking of spirits he believed in them to the extent that God Himself is a spirit and that "we must worship Him in spirit and in truth." That God referred to us as spirits when he said, "we know not what manner of spirits we are," and that "man comes in contact with the deprived it is spiritualism, and that he, Dr. Gordon had not done that as yet. Had Built a Fortress Fourth, that he does not believe in the resurrection of the natural body but that he did believed in the resurrection of the spiritual body, for the scripture said that "fresh and blood shall not inherit the kingdom." He closed by saying that he had but one body, his 25 years here and that he admired the man that had the currage to come up against it, but that, he could always prove his statements. And further how could a person he tried on a subject of which every man has his own personal viewpoint? Questions were asked by the various ministers and they retired to an ante room to come to a verdict. They reported the report that "owing lack of time it was recommended that the conference -access to meet Monday, March 5.

"BUMPSKY" T'S JAZZ ARTISTS Saturday, March 41, 1996 THE NEW YORK ACE PAGE RAYMOND CLAYMES, BARITONE; CONFIRM SPLENDID IMPRESSION OF 1ST RECITAL Raymond Claymes, baritone, in his second recital for the current concert season, confirmed the opinion formed after hearing him sing on January 20. This second recital was on Sunday afternoon, March 11, in the more suitable auditorium of Grace Congregational Church, West 19th street, and while the audience was not of a size commensurate with the singers' artistic merit, it was warmly and cordially appreciative of his efforts. In his singing, Mr. Claymes exhibited a suave and dignified art, published with intelligence and understanding. Lacking the self-control of the vocalistic poseur, he makes no appeal to sensual emotions, but rather places his offerings on the altar of high endeavor. He does not sing to please the clanorous pack, but makes his offerings to the high gods of his art. As was said following his first recital, there is unusual attractiveness in the resonant and colorful tones which mark his middle and lower registers, but in the upper reaches there is a tightening, a pinching, which whitens the tonal quality, bringing with it an apparent uneasiness of utterance. But through it all the singer's impeccable technique is in evidence, stutty of Musical Art, of which Dr. Frank Damrosch is the dean, was unusual ease and facility in Mr. Claymes' singing, with a keen sense of dramatic values. An unusual intellectual equipment, and extensive linguistic knowledge, enables him to give a clear and fucid interpretation to his offerings, whether in English, French, German, Spanish or Haitan. Miss Arnetta Jones, a student on the pianoforte at the Juilliard Institute of Musical Art, of which Dr. Frank Damrosch is the head, was at the piano and gave creditable support to the singer. With a bit more experience this young pianist will take high ranking. The program was slightly changed, owing to a fire which damaged the apartment above Mr. Claymes' studio, bringing a water damage to some of his programmed music which could not be replaced in time. His numbers were as follows. "Nana" (Pergolese); "Drink to me only with thine eyes" (Old nana), "Tears, such as tender fathers shed" from "Dinorah" (Haniel, "Flow, thou regal purple stream" (Arnold); "Aus der Jugendzeit" (Oakke), "Oh, lay thy cheek upon my cheek" (Jensen). "Avent de quenit de Faust" (Gouned); aria, "Why do the nations so furious seek" from "Messiah" (Handel); "Blow, blow thou winter wind" (Jarjeant); "The heart bowed down" from "Bohemian Girl" (Balle); "Break, Break, Break!" (Claymes); "The arrow and the song" (Balle); "How are like a lovely rosebud and "Come to my garden" (Claymes). "My dreams" (Tosti); and Spirituals—"Were you there?" (Claymes), "I'm so glad" (Dett) and "De Gospel Train" (Burleigh). An added number was Bürleigh's "Deep River." Three of the songs and an arrangement of one Spiritual were credited to the singer, and all of them possessed elements of interest. The setting given to the Tennyson poem, "Break, break, break! on thy cold grey stones, O Seal" was effective, of the standard art song style and the song, "Come to my garden," Mr. Claymes writing both poem and music, was a gay and lilts composition. Of a different texture was his setting of the Heine poem, "Du bist wie eine blume," heard as an encore in his first recital, sung in German, but this time in English, "Thou art like a lovely rosebud." It is dainty and tuneful. The Spiritual was of simple and dignified structure, clinging to the diatonic scale rather than discursing pentatonic dissonances. Dr H. H Donald and James Trauble were at the door Audience Appreciates James Johnson, Tenor The exigencies of this latter day schedule of Sunday afternoon recitals caused this reviewer to miss altogether the recital of John M. Johnson, tenor, at the New York Urban League auditorium, 204 West 100th street. As he ascended the stairs in a great rush he was struck by a wave of enthusiastic applause that rolled through the building, betokening the appreciation of the audience, which was of S. R. O. proportions, as Mr. Johnson concluded what was said to have been on the third of a group of encore numbers following the regular program. The singer was assisted by Miss Lilhan Jackson, dramatic reader, a member of the New Negro Art Theatre, who starred in that organization's midnight production of Oscar Wilde's "Salome" at Alhambra Theatre on March 9. The accompaniments were played by little Miss Ida May Northern, whose good work has been commented on in this column, and the recital was under management of L. C. Richmond. Jessie Zackery Wins Favor On Western Tour Under auspices of the Mu Omega Chapter, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Andrew Zackery, soprano, appeared in the first recital of a three weeks' western tour on Friday, March 9, in the Grand Avenue Temple, Kansas City, Mo. Reports are to the effect that the audience will large and enthusiastic, and the singer's art won the most cordial accoliation. She was the recipient of a gorgeous basket of caramels and roses. Miss Andrades-Lindsay of Brooklyn is making the tunes accompanist. The music reviewer of the Kansas City Times, white daily, on Saturday was the following account of the recital: "A Vivian soprano, new to Kansas City, Jessie Andrews Zackery, is a recital for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority last night in the Grand Avenue Temple. It was a pleasant introduction, both for Mrs. Zackery and her audience. Her voice has quite all the range, and is flexible enough for the ornamented arias, as well as purely lyric operatic arias, such as "Depuis le jour" Schuberts "Du bist die ruth" proved champion, a group of Pergolesi, Haidel and Purcell was equally nice. She saw the program an unusual atmosphere of dignity and reserve for a singer so young. The accompaniments were played, and played well for the most part, by Andrades-Lindsay." Three concerts in Denver, Col., Mrs. Zackery's home town, will be played by the final recital of the tour at Omaha, Neb., on March 19. Mendelssohn Program At Atlanta University Friday night, some of the students of music department of Atlanta presented a study pro- gram from the works of Felix Sinatran in spite of the raw, irreducible weather, friends, from whom in goodly numbers, the numbers were given with and finish, showing the good done by Mesdames Burney, Lewis and Coate. Collecting each number, a few explanations were given to various students, telling of the circumstances of the com- mons of the musical form, sweet, fresh voices of pu- the knowles high instrumental accom- mencement, very charm, merito in G minor, rendered poems, and Great is the choir and orchestra, especially good. --- Piano music by Negro composers was the special music feature of the Floyd Calvin Hour through WCGU on the evening of Thursday, March 8. Miss Olyne L. Jeter, pianist, rendered Chopin's Up, Op. 25 No. 1, and a group consisting of Coleridge Taylor's "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child;" "Song of the Seren," by Hugo Bornin; and "Sylvan Pools," by Edwin Francis Hill. The announcer spoke of the achievements of Hugo Bornin, who is a scholar-hip student at the Jullahd Institute of Musical Art, majoring in composition, and Edwin Francis Hill, noted violinist and composer of Philadelphia. The otherbery-bloodied music men were most enthusiastically received, according to expressions received by Miss Jeter Dr. George E. Haynes, secretary of the Commission on the Church and Race Relations, Federal Council of Churches, spoke on Negro achievement and the Harmon Awards. Miss Gerude Martin, coolist, played a Kreisler number, Miss Jeter accompanying. Miss Letter is the private secretary of Adelaide, from her birth in this city. capacity; she elevates much of her time to music. She has a class of piano students; is the pianist in the Weel-Jerre Trio, and has for the past eight months been the director of the Grace Congregational Church choir. She is ardently pursuing the study of the piano under Rafael Saumell. Venezuelan pianist and composer. Karl Cooke Hurt Karl Cooke, of Edgecombe avenue, well known musician, leader of the Ed Brown Orchestra since Mr. Brown's death some time ago, has been incapacitated for more than a week from injuries received when he landed on the fce and fell through a plate glass window, now crowded escaped injury to his eyes, but was badly hurt about the body and back of his neck. Ruth Ellis To Recite Ruth Ellis, dramatic reader, recently a member of the "Meek Mose" cast, will appear in recital on Wednesday, March 21, at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, 120th street, and Lenox avenue, the Rev. W. P. Hayes, pastor, under auspices of the Junior Missionary Society. Special numbers will be given in costume.

She is returning now to the concert stage, where she had won distinguished honors during past seasons. She studied with the dean of dramatic readers among Negroes, Richard B Harrison. Anthony Overton Hour Broadcast Over Radio On Thursday evening, March 15 from 10:30 to 11:30, the weekly program of Negro Achievement Hour was dedicated to an Anthony Overton Hour. This weekly program is sponsored by the "Who's Who in Colored America" Publishing Company, Steinway Hall, 113 West 57th street, over WABC, Lennel L.

The musical program was furnished by the Schubert Musical Club, directed by Edward Margetson, upon whom was recently conferred one of the Harmon Awards. Lloyd Hickman Sings At Claflin College Orangesburg, S. C.-On. Friday night, March 2, Lloyd- Hickman, barrine, gave a song recital in the Claflin College chapel which was pleasing to an appreciative audience. Mr Hickman's program was masterfully rendered and his selections were well chosen to please music lovers. The artist, not unknown among the leading baritone of the race, was making an appearance before a home audience. While a professor at the State A. and M. College at Orangesburg, he has found time to give many recitals to out of town audiences during the year. Bandmasters' Course At Tuskegee Institute Tuskegee Institute, Mac course designed to train band leaders and directors of orchestras in schools is being offered this year at the Tuskegee Institute summer school.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC Most Progressive School in Harlem 131 WEST 136th STREET New York City ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS BY PERCIVAL OUTRAM Colored shows in a vicinity commanding recognition of the merits of the performers are rather prevalent these days, and of course these plays, when musical, always have a compliment of colored musicians to complete the picture. Night clubs and speakeasies are fairly well represented by race orchestras of varying sizes, whose leaders have contrived to whip them into scabland of an organized orchestra. Gypping, reports claim, has been tolerably good until Kent came out to lessen activities to a certain class of customers. Now comes the news that a white man has started something unprecedented, we believe, in the annals of New York colored orchestral history, which, if it proves, successful as this white man feels sure it will, will be copied and attempted by others of his race to the benefit and advantage of several groups of colored musicians. As you know, pioneers are not always successful, and others come behind and sweep the shiekels up. This is the proposition. He gets the men, rehearses them himself, finds them engagements, radio and otherwise, pays them union wages gives them dress, suits to wear on engagements, and to crown all, has made arrangements to purchase a new set of gold instruments for the 11-piece orchestra at a cost of $3,500. Skepical? Can't be done? Just a moment. Do you think a man would make an outlay of money and time as above involved, without having analyzed the situation and seeing light on the horizon? And, Oh, Boy! what rehearsals these babies make—from 9 a.m. until 10 p. m., with one internship to get something to eat. Do you know any colored leader who could get this "slavery" of rehearsals? especially when you have to journey to Brooklyn to make them. Fess Williams' Orchestra is again at the Savoy, supplanting Horace Henderson's Orchestra. Fess Williams himself is not with the aggregation, having been called out West to lead some other orchestra, it is reported. Fess and his men were working at a cabaret in Brooklyn when the call came. Fess let the orchestra in charge of Hank Johnson, the dancing, singing clarinet and sax player, whose antics are very amusing to a large class of customers of the Savoy. Do you know, Mr. American Musician, that there are 47 colored locals in the U S. A? It has been said that some colored locals are dominated by the white local of any given town. Is this true? There are several musicians from out of town locals in the city now, and a good many from far distant points. Send in your information of the independent functioning of your native colored local and we will gladly publish some. Please have your news items in by Tuesday morning of each week. Articles reaching the office later than Tuesday, will appear in the following week's issue. UNITY 1907 MI-TEE MONA --- I. B. P. O. E. of W.

EASTER Monday Night "Not worthwhile cause ever called to the public or the theatrical group than the Florence Mills Memorial Building to be located in Harlem. It is to be a home so organized as to advance the standard of life, the work and content of its members. To be a center where appeals of distress will be heard, substantial and extended to the body, some recreation offered and advice of maturer members of the business world and the theatrical profession afforded those who want and need such assistance." The above is an excerpt from the Florence Mills Fund Booklet of which 5,000 are to be sent throughout the country in this endeavor of the performer and his patron friends in the Arts to build a home for the group who make the world a brighter and happier place to live. The question is—Will everyone拼合作 and write for the common good of all his brothers? You must say yes! act yes! talk yes! for a good actor plays his part, jam-up! Join the Association now.

But the Alhambra Theatre has the "Happiness Revenue" this week, and several thousand people seemed by their laughter and applause, to think it is well named. a Sandy Burns, popularly known as "Ashes" starts the fun with his red automobile of unknown make which he drives right out on the stage. Mantan and the girls get in and out, and never do have a ride. A sweet young girl, Baby DeLeon, who many think will be the successor of Florence Mills, appears in rags and songs in a birdlike voice, and then dances very cleverly Baby DeLeon bears a striking resemblance to the well-remembered star when she, too, was a young girl appearing in Harlem. George Wiltshire and Charlie Smith are also among the Alhambra headlayers. Clara Bow is the photoplay star in "My Lady of Whims." Next week's attraction is "Brownskin Brevines" and the photoplay feature will be the daring jungle adventures of Captain Harry Eustace and his companions, entitled "Through Darkest Africa." "The Student Prince" At Douglass Theatre Ten acres of cobblestones—each one hand made. STRENGTH 1928 ARCH NO. 45 th APRIL 1 9 2 8 (antry) ARMORY fox and Fifth Avenues ORCHESTRAS 245 West 137th Street, Phone This is just one detail in the enormous building leaf involved in the production of "The Student Prince," in which Ernst-Lublitsch directed Raimon Novarra and Norma Shearer at the Merto-Goldwyn-Mayer studios, and which comes to the Douglas Theatre for three days beginning Saturday. These reproduced a courtyard in a German town for a great coronation ceremony in the picture. Entire twos were built; huge castles; thousands of people thronged the streets. The picture is one of the biggest undertakings in the history of the screen. The cast includes such celebrities as Jean Hersholt, Edward Connelly, George K. Arthur, Gustav Vey Seyffertier, Edythe Chapman, Phillippe De Lacy, Edgar Norton, Lionel Belmore, Otis Hartan, and many others of equal note. Hans Kraly scenarized it from the original romance by Meyer Forster, on which the stage play and its late version as "The Student Prince" were built. Mary Pickford In "My Best Girl" At The Lincoln Theatre "The players in 'My Best Girl' are so well chosen for their parts that the audience thinks of them as real people rather than as actors and actresses" This quotation from a prominent New York critic's review of Mary Pickford's newest United Artists Picture concensely sums up the merit of the cast of this comedy-romance. Headed by young Charles Rogers and Hobart Bosworth, "My Best Girl", now at the Lincoln Theatre is said to have one of the best-balanced companies on the screen. The leading man, Charles Rogers, has been declared by no less an authority than Miss Pickford herself to be one of the most promising young players on the screen. His meteoric rise has been one of the sensations of film circles. Hobart Bosworth, who is noted for his character portrayals, appears as the millionaire in Mary's "nickel-and-dime" story. Collegians Down Vandals; St. C. Beats Capitol Club By TED YATES One of the season's most poorly arranged basketball contests was enacted on Wednesday night March 7, when the Original Collegiate team defeated Atlantic City Vandals in a one-sided air at the Renaissance Casino. The mosquito boys were outlasted from the start and were beaten by a score 50 to 23. Jack Livingston starred for the victors. In the other contest (a catch-ass-catch can game) Coach Bradford's famed St. Christopher Red and Black Machine managed to ease over a 50 to 30 victory over the Red and Blacks of Ashbury Park (the Capitol Club). Your correspondent listened for over two solid hours to the blab blah blah that was inevitable in the dressing before game time. Teams Argue Over Preliminary Manager Arthel Scale of the Collegians cared not to have his champions enter the court as a preliminary addict and Charley Bradford cared not for the little part of the "gala double-header" toss or settlement seemed impossible. The Collegians were finally given consideration. It was announced that only one game would be played the Collegians and the Vandals—and off the Collegians went Joe Stiele scored after three minutes of play, followed by Ixmongol, Holt and Romney. The New Yorkers took an easy lead and kept up throughout. New Jersey heavily outweighed the champions, but were outclassed "thick" Knox proved the star of the invading quint, the bronze model was always in there trying, Johnny Holl and Jack Livingston formed a shooting combination and the two flashes tallied twenty points between them, "Horse" Steele who started things going was neat in the passes and upon several occasions the fans were forced to stare at the spic tacular shots of the mute captain, Bricktop Wright was cheered into the contest and immediately upon entering the Textile star scored one from the center o f the court Buddy Walker starting his second game as a colleague tared well, and the former M M D "Eagle" was superb, garnettting three field goals, "think" Land, and "Jojo" Mills though scoring seven points between them took things easy, and featured in the passing. The Collegians are improving in every contest. It is hard to say whether they can ever be defeated again. With 110 victories and one defeat for a span of three seasons (the N.Y. Yankees pennants will look like Marc Anthony ala Cleo before long) St. Sec Scores Easy Win For forty nine minutes we had to sit and watch the Capitol Club down (the St. See boys fumble and grumble) in fact the big part of the gala double header really should have been the preliminary.

Y. letter in The Age of March 10 appeared the following note: "Mrs Mary Dryden Perry, whose husband died just a little over a year ago, passed away last Thursday from an illness with a fever, and died from him.

Those reported on the Sick Laws as follows: P. Wilson, E. M. Reminiscences of Luke Smith's Place A business, Luke Smith's place is no more, prohibition has long since outlawed it. But to those of us who were wont to assemble there in the old days the memories of it linger with us. Perhaps, you Mr. Reader, are one of those with whom they linger. For myself, I candidly confess, there are days when I wish for a schooner of Luke's cold beer. The old days at Luke Smith's place were vividly recalled to mind recently by a newspaper item stating that one Louis Snyder, a Pullman car dealer, who had hit upon the enterprising idea of making quick returns on his money by cashing the pay checks of his fellow-workers had been black-jacked and robbed by two Negro thieves. Not that anything like that ever happened at Luke's place. Black-jackers and robbers were an unknown gentry at that thirst-quenching empire. The customer with a thousand dollars in his pocket was just as safe from pillage as the customer who had only the price of a drink. But Luke did cash Pullman pay checks, and like the unfortunate Sender, he got a good percentage on the transaction. In fact, Luke had two ways by which he profited from his check-cashing business. One was that he retained the odd cents of all checks cashed. For instance, if the amount of a check was $45.43, the owner would receive in return $45.40. The three cents was Luke's interest for the accommodation. Most likely that was the Principle followed by the black-jackered cleaner. The other way was not quite so usurious. So far as Luke was concerned, you could use your own discretion. But usually those who went into his place to get their checks cashed seldom left without busing something. So, the business of cashing railroad and Pullman checks was profitable in two ways to the salooman. The advent of prohibition was a sad event for Luke's place. Situated at the south west corner of 161st street and Morris avenue, its adacency to Mott Haven Yards made it a convenient rendezvous for Pullman porters, dining car waiters, car cleaners and a host of other railroad workers in these yards. And not only did these workers go there to drink, but durin ghe noon hour, Luke's lunch counter, replete with cheese, bologna, sardines, ham and not, would be surrounded by the motley crowd bent, apparently, on seeing that none of the edibles were left over for the next day. Luke profited from the cheek cashing but it was figured that he made little on his schooners of beer. By buying one, the customer got a sumptuous repast. The neighborhood around the old place has changed considerably since those days. Automobile garages, factories, apartment houses, stores and gas filling stations are now occupying sites which were once vacant lots. 161st street, just a few feet west of the saloon, was once a steep incline. Now that part of the street has been built to a corresponding level. To the occasional visitor up that way, the vicinity, if he knew it ten years ago, is hardly recognizable. But Lake Smith's old place still remains. Through the once well-kept glass windows may be seen a jumble of bar fixtures, broken tables and dilapidated chairs, familiar relies of bygone days. John Barleycorn has departed from the place, but his spirit lingers on. No one will attempt to open any other kind of business there. And, of course, prohibition shall be Barleycorn shall not come back. The Interstate Commerce Commission's Decision The decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission regarding the petition of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters for the abolishing of tipping on Pullman cars, was no surprise to those persons who know the functions and power of this body. The commission may only function in cases of violation of the Interstate Commerce Act, and the petitioner failed to show wherein tipping on Pullman cars was a violation of this law. In so far as the porters are concerned, the appeal was a sheer waste of time and money. There is one thing, however, that the decision did settle. It settled the Pullman tipping question, if not for once and all, for a decade or more at least. Of course no sensible porter was naive enough to believe, nor is it conceivable that the sponsors of the petition really thought that the abolishing of tipping on Pullman cars would be to the porter's advantage. In fact, abolishing of tips was not the real object for which the petition was made, and everyone knew it, even the Commission. The decision that it lacks jurisdiction to do what the petitioner sought surprised no one, not even those who were responsible for the appeal. The petition was simply a labor gamble for more wages. No matter in what way one may view it, the thought is prominent that carrying the matter to the Interstate Commerce Commission was a mistake. It has not done the porters any good, but is likely to do them harm. It certainly won't help them to get an increase in pay, unless their employer is disposed to give it of its own volition. The decision has made the position of the Pullman Co. all the stronger regarding tips as a wage perquisite. For here is what the Interstate Commerce Commission said on the subject: "Tipping in the Pullman service was practiced long before Congress began to regulate interstate carriers and it is reasonable to assume that had Congress intended the practice of either giving or receiving tips to be unlawful it would have so declared in express terms." By that opinion, the Pullman Company will feel more justified than ever in letting tips be a part of the porters' pay. On the other hand, now that it has come out victor in the case, it may appreciate the fact that contented porters are better workers than discontented ones and may raise their pay. This is not an improbable eventuality, so it is rumored. But, said the person expressing this opinion, the company will not be forced into raising its porter's wages. At any rate, it seems that the only thing left for the porters to do is take their case directly to their employer and let commissions and other regulatory bodies alone; that is, if more pay is what they really want.
