'Poison Pen' Letter Writer Proves To Be Discarded Lover Of Well Known Woman Violinist He Sought To Injur
Albert Johnson, Pullman Porter, Incensed At Being Discarded By Violinist, Used 'Poison Pen
Used Discharged Usher's Name In Warning To Lafayette Manager of Personal Danger and Of Conspiracy To Hold Up Box Office
When Detectives Henry Bauerschmidt and John Crosby of the 6th Detective Division arrested Albert W. 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.
Arraigned in Washington Height Court on Sunday morning he held in $500 bail by Magistrate William A. 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. He used the name of "Howard" in his letters because "Howard" had really been employed at the Calyette assay室 when he was Mrs. Franklin was first violinist and conductor of the orchestra.
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.

On Murder Charge
Oscar L. 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.
He contended that he had acted in self defense in striking Dupree with a piece of iron pipe when Dupree attacked him in front of Benson's news-stand at the corner of Seventh avenue and 142 street. Dupree was held for conscious and Harlem Hostage days later. Dupree is alleged to have been drunk at the time of the altercation and Mr. Benson had sent for a policeman to stop Dupree from annoying him, but before the officer of the law raved, the drunken man attempted to strike the newsdealer and the latter defended himself with the
A long list of Harlem citizens gave Benson character letters or offered their services to go into court and testify that they knew him to be a law-abiding citizen. Mr. Benson, has resumed the business of conducting his newsstand.

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.

Raleigh, N. C. 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.

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.

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. Watson, Ben Davis' right hand man, who was himself named as a delegate to the national convention. Two white men were given the other two locations and G. F. Flanders of Swainshore. 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.

Goode, 241 Fourth avenue, brother of the deceased, said that his brother had for the past year or so been very moody and despondent. He had been ostraged from his wife for almost two years, he said. However, most of his brothers and thought he would end his life as he apparently was getting over the separation from his wife and little child. The suicide could be attributed to no other cause than this, said the brother, as there were no financial worries nor other depressing things. Mr. Goode said that his wife took charge of the body and under the direction of Duncan Brothers it was interred in Flushing Cemetery-on Wednesday afternoon. The 'deceased' was by the widow and child; a brother, Hayward W. Goode, and three sisters, Mrs. Beatrice MacKee, Mrs. Goldie, and Mrs. Susan Hollingworth. He was a nephew of the late Mrs. N. B. Dodson on Brooklyn.

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:

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

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

Washiginon, D. O—The Interste ate Commerce
Commission will not help the Pullman porters of the
country to abolish tips.» The commission ‘today, for-
mally dismissed the complaint of the Brotherhood
of sleping Car Porters against tlie Pullman Company,
which was aimed against the giving of gratuities by
passengers. The record does not show that thie com-|
mission may have considered that the shock to the
passengers would 3 too great, but it did take into,
consideration the fact that passengers were accus-
toméd to tipping. eerie
In their” complaint the porters
protested that they were from loag
practice compelled to depend oc
gratuities for 2 considerable por-
tion of their wages, that this fact
was known to the’ Pullman com:

Commissioner Aitchison, Eastman

plaint seemed to state facts which

tioas of the Interstate Commerce
act and possibly the Elkins act
‘The porters said im their com-
plaint that their membership rep-

Sunlight Lodge of Elks, Trenton, Now Housed In New Home Said To Be Finest Building Order Owns
Trenton, N. 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. Wilson, chaplain; Clarence Conover, master of social sessions; Samuel Brown, titer, Farl Moore, inner guard, and Harry T. Quaner, John Archer, Samuel McGoway Walter Jenkins and Richard Cuthberts.

CITIZENS GIVE MORE MONEY TO MONARCH FUND Interest Being Shown In Effort To Finance Band Concerts
That the citizens of Harlem are deeply interested in the effort to raise funds to augment the city's appropriation for free open air concerts in Harlem by the Mr-Tree Monarch Band, 45, Leont Fred W Simpson, conductor, thus constituting that fine musical organization as a community feature, is shown by the continuing responses being received by Alderman Fred R Moore, who is acting as treasurer for the fund. The mail on Monday brought the following letter:
"I released and tidy check for $25 as a donation towards your good cause for the LKK. Wishing you great success in your task DFWLN ASMHLN, executive of Small Paradise."
By an inadvertence, in late week's issue, Mr. and Mrs Gordy of 45 West 188th street were credited with a $10 contribution. This was an error.

Railroad Man Was in Misery
"I was a sick man—could hardly go to work at all," says Mr. Chas. E. Parker, of Charleston, Ill. "I had severe throbbing headaches, dizzy spells, indigestion, tightness in my chest, shortness of breath. My back ached and I could not walk in bed with any ease. Any way I turned I was in misery. "I tried different remedies till I heard of Black-Drought. I took a couple of good, big doses of Black-Drought and saw a big change. I was better—I to batter and sloper better. I kept it up. I took a puffer bottle and then then go back to my work. I am a railroader and my work is hard.
"I have kept myself fit by taking Black-Draught, and though I'm 52 years old I can do my work with ease right along with younger men. I am never without Black-Draught. I light it on maces for stains and stomach troubles and helps them. It helps dizziness and bad taste in the mouth—an all 'round good medicine." Costa only I cont a done.

Washington, D. C.-Lafayette B. Gleason, of New York, secretary of the Republican National Convention entertainment committee, it was reliably stated here, has written a letter to members of the National Committee in which he informs them of arrangements made for their hotel accommodations at Kansas City where the Convention will be held in June.
And the letter concludes with the statement that the local committee is seeking to engage a couple of Negro hotels and the colored Y. M. C. in which to house the Negro delegates.
Coolidge Set President.
But it was also quite unproper dented to have rare segregation made statutory by Presidential approval until President Coolidge signed the "improve" bathing beach bill which set up segregated swimming pools at the Nation Capitol. Verly, the Republican party, as now constituted and led, that's of another day and generation. As Neal Thomas well says "It's only a name and has been dead for a generation!"

Toledo, O.—The interracial day program on Sunday, February 12 at Duglass Center, was featured by an address by Miss Jam Hunter of the Hoyas Wheatley Association Cleveland, and by the presentation to the center of a painting, "The trial of Shakespeare," the work on a disguised Negro painter, R. 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. The canvas, worth a small will be arefully safeguarded until placed on the walls of the new Douglas Center.

CANDIDATES AND THEIR VIEWS. 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. His logan reads:

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
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. Our suitcases were brought from the airport, and the carriage far bed but slept rather badly. The next morning the Director arrived and told us that our trunks, which we had sent to the railroad station the day before, were on board the boat. Carabe, leaving at nine o'clock. 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-

Of all the porters I have met in
my two years with the Pullman
Company I don't believe there are
three, and certainly not six, but that
talk as though the plan is of little
or no benefit to the porter.
This observation does not include
the committees; and as the porters
are now using it, I must confess that
I have seen very little or no results.

We wish that we might have gone to Havana to work with our feeble forces for the organization of this American peace. 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

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.

LAID AGAINST
DR. J.D. GORDON
Baptist Minister Was A
Brooklyn Pastor and

Se re ee are ee eee ee
are greatly stirred over the trial by
fellow nainisters bf the Rey John
D. Gordon, pastor of the Tabernacle
Baptist Chureh, on charges of here
sy.
‘The charges were’ laid by the Bap-
List. Ministers’ Union, and allege
that Dr. Gordon denied the atoung
blood of Christ; that he emied the
resurrection of the budy that the
New Testament is not the Gospel of
Christ; that he believed ov spinteal-
ism; that be had spewed Baptist
principles out of his south.
The hearing was held in the Sce-
ond Baptist Church, and it was de-
cided to permit Dr, Gordon to make
Janswer to the allegations without in-
Herruption, after which the ministers
would ask such questions as they de-
sired, Before this decision was ar-
rived at, however, 2 half lay bad|
been spent in wrangling.
Dr. Gorton took the floor ani
made an exhaustive reply to each
allegation, a8 follows:
Dr. Gordon Answers
First, that by saying that he had
spewed. the Baptist doctrine out of
his system, he meant all the prinei=
ples as set down by various theolo-
[gians, because they were merely met
Like himself and had their own opin-
fons as he had his own. That ne de>
lieved in the New Testament, regen
Jerauon, perseverance of the saints,
that he was not obligated to Uae deo:
Hogians, but took hig gospel frum the
scripture.
"Second, that he did say that Mat:
thew, Mark, Luke and Jobin'y recoeds
were’ not the doctrine” of ‘God, that
they were only the record of the
Gospel. ‘
‘Third, that in speaking of spirits
hhe believed im them to the extent that
God Himself is a ‘spirit and Ghat
“we must worship Hush an spirit wd
mm truth” That God referred to us
as suits when he said, "ye know
fint what manner of spirits We are.”
He said that when aman edmes in
contact with dhe departed it 1s sprit:
ualism, and that he, Dr. Gordon Ind
aot done that a3 yet
Fourth, that he docs not believe a0
the resurrection of the natural body
but thathe did believed in the resure
rection of the spiritual body, for the
scripture said that. “esh and blood
shall not mberit the kingdom."
He losed by saying. that he had
built, a fortress. of solid iecin during
Ins 25 years here and that he admire
ed the man that liad the cpurage 10

could always prove ‘is statenien.,

Other clubs are not in sound fin-

In tns singing, Mr. Claymes exhibited a suave and dignified art,
+ ibolltshed with intelligence and understanding. Lackmg the self-
cect of the vocalistic poseur, he makes no appeal to senstial emo-
nons, but rather places his offerings on the altar of high endeavor.
He dues not-sing to please the clamorous pack, but makes his offerings
to the high gods of his art.
\s was said following his first recital, there 16 unusual attractive-
ness in the resonant and colorful tones which mark his middle and
lower registers, but it the upper reaches there 1s a tightening, a pinch:

linguistic knowledge, enables him to give a clear and fucid interpre:

or Hahan,
Miss Arnetta Jones, a student on the pianofcrte at the Juilhard In-
stuate of Musical Art, of whteh Dr. Frank Damrosch is the head, was
athe pauo and gave creditable support to the singer. With a bit
more experience this young pianist will take high ranking.

A CORRECTION
Under the New Rochelle, N. 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. Funeral services for her were held from Bethesda Baptist Church on Monday." The Age is in receipt of a letter from Mrs Carrie Moore and Mrs Helen E. Nichols of 55 Rochelle place, near Rochelle, sisters to the mother. The statement is false. They state that Mrs. Perry did not contract any disease from her husband, and that as a matter of fact, Mr. Perry died almost six years ago. The Age regrets the error and is glad to correct it. The note was sent in by the New Rochelle company; there was no reason to think that the report was inaccurate.

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES

A business, Luke Smith's place, since outlawed it. But to those there in the old days the memories of Mr. Reader, are one of those with a candidly confess, there are days when cold beer.
The old days at Luke Smith's place recently by a newspaper item stating car cleaner, who had hit upon the return on his money by cashing them had been black-jacked and robbed anything like that ever happened a robber was an unknown gentry a customer with a thousand dollars from pillage as the customer who had. But Luke did cash Pullman man spender, he got a good percentage of had two ways by which he profited. One was that he retained the odd chance, if the amount of a check wilt in return $45.40. The three cents waltion. Most likely that was the jacked cleaner.
The other way was not quite concerned, you could use your own went into his place to get their own buying something. So, the business checks was profitable in two ways.

In so far appeal was a sheer waste of time however, that the decision did set forth question, if not for once and all, for Of course no sensible porter was conceivable that the sponsors of the abolishing of tipping on Pullman vantage. In fact, abolishing of tips the petition was made, and every decision that it lacks juristicis surprised no one, not even those who the petition was simply a labor gag in what way one may view it, the matter to the Interstate Commerce.

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.
Those reported on the. Sick List for the week ending March 10th as follows: P. Wilson, E. M. Brown, and G. W. Gardiner.

For myself, I when I wish for a schooner of Luke's place were vividly recalled to mind that one Lion Snyder, a Pullman enterprising idea of making quick re-verify pay checks of his fellow-workers, by two Negro thieves. Not that did at Luke's place. Black-jackers and may at that thirst-quenching emporium, dollars in his pocket was just as safe to had only the price of a drink, pay checks, and like the unfortunate age on the transaction. In fact, Luke lifted from his check-cashing business, and cents of all checks cashed. For instance, was $15.43, the owner would receive his Luke's interest for the accomo- principle followed by the black-stee so surorious. So far as Luke was unaware discretion. But usually those who checks cashed seldom left without business of cashing railroad and Pullman ways to the saloonman.
Was a sad event for Luke's place. Situ- of 161st street and Morris avenue, its made it a convenient rendezvous for car, cleaners and a host of other. And not only did these workers go noon hour, Luke's lunch 'counter, renames, ham and what not, would be bur- apparently, on seeing that none of the next day.

Fulfillment
Just beyond the hill tops
Where visions spring afresh
He works amid the lights and
shadows
Of never-ending day.
Where fadeless beauty dwells,
Immortal spirits soar to heights
empyrean,
He lives his dreams
Untouched by pain,
Unmarred by strife,
Sheer lovliness in deathless life.

Lena McCann, 709 Short 9th
St. Birmingham, Ala. She says:
"I was feeling bad, nervous and very weak. I did not rest well at night and did not have much appetite. I was thin and I was sick. I did not like going places. Life wasn't much pleasure. "I spoke to my mother-in-law about my condition. She told me that Carduel had done much for her. I sent for Carduel right away; kept on taking it, and in a few weeks I was able to get more weight. I was more rested nights, and did not have the weak spell. I took 6 bottles in all. It sure helped me."
