Senator Is In Race For Return To That Body and Is Appealing To Voters On Strength of His Splendid Record The candidacy of former U. S. Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, for nomination on the regular Republican ticket to the U. S. Senate is being favorably received by all classes of New Jersey's citizens, and he is being given special consideration by the Negro electorate. This attitude is because of the splendid service which has been given by Mr. Frelinghuysen in the past, particularly so as relates to the colored citizenry. He has been actively interested in the improving of educational conditions, and has worked whole heartedly in behalf of the Bordentown Institute for Negro boys and girls. As president of the State Board of Education and as a member of the State Senate, Mr. Frelinghuysen was able to secure vital benefits for this and other schools. Through his efforts the state educational system was completely reorganized. Favored Anti-Lynching Bill. During his six years in the U. S. Senate Mr. Frelinghuysen was an ardent supporter of the Dyer-Anti-Lynching Bill. And in that bill he supported Mr. Frelinghuysen's position was never shaded by policy or an effort to win. Perceived popularity, he was told to help when he was a candidate for reflection, that he should achieve the principle that communities should be cared for. He would rather be right than be President. He is not guided by political expediency. Mr. Frelinghuysen also served in the New Jersey Board of Agriculture, for which he was exceptionally well qualified through practical experience in running his own large farm at Raritan, N.J., where he was born and has always lived. A member of the State Senate, he became a political for the improvement of agricultural conditions. Saved Millions For People. In a recent letter, Charles P.

According to Edward Johnson jr 20 year old son of the deceased, the Johnson family had been in New York for the past fourteen years and had never had any trouble with police officials and been hurt for any matter. Theirs was a peacable life until Friday. February 12. The young man said that on this particular day his mother, father, and himself had arisen at 6:30 in the morning. The father, Edward Sr. runs a barbershop at 2200 Fifth Avenue and le the house early for work. The son and mother started to clean the house where they keep lodgers. During the course of this time, the son told his mother that he would go to the house again. His mother thought it was a good idea so he went across the street to the home of Mrs. Russell to arrange his hours of instructions. Young Mrs. Russell's home, young Johnson saw a white man standing in the vestibule of his house. He went up the states and asked the man what he waited. According to Johnson the man became abusive and demanded to be able to find out what the man waited the boy refused to open the door. Searched Father and Son Just at that time Mr. Johnson se, was coming down the street and was hailed by his son. When father and son got together to talk things over, about, five white men and two Negroes are said to have approached them. They demanded to search the Johnson. Knowing that the boy said his father consented to be searched, from head to foot, he said, both he and his father, were searched while standing in the areaway of their home. When the search was over the men said they were looking for policy ships. thinking that every thing was over, young Johnson started up the stoop again and was followed by one of the white men. Again he refused to open the door. For this he was struck, says Johnson. Mrs. Hattie Johnson hearing a commotion outside the house, opened the front door to investigate. The police pushed her aside causing her to fall against the rail and then struck her. In self, defense, she picked up a piece of piping and struck one of the brushes on the head. Once inside the house the men started to search it thoroughly, and they turned the house upside down. The search finally narrowed to the kitchen where after following the same general procedure, one of the men finally produced policy ships from a tool chest. Mother, father and son all vigorously denied that they knew that they might have been placed there by some of the lodgers who had use of the kitchen Held In Heavy Bail This did not satisfy the police officers, however, who placed the Johnson's under arrest and took them to the East 120th street police station, from which place they were unmediately taken. The Court here was a Magistrate Court. Here the mother was held under $5,500 bail for felonious assault and policy, the father, $1,000 for policy and the son $500 for disorderly conduct. While they were in the cell there, young Johnson says he was discussing with his father the raise of the child. He opened the cell and admitted a policeman. The boy says the policeman withdrawn cause or provocation kicked him in the stomach and groin after: knocking him on the floor. The injuries he received were very painful but he says he did not receive any medical attention. The Tombs were one of the keepers brought him ice and gave him some pills to take. After raising bail enough to release themselves, the father and son tried to get enough to secure the release of the mother. It was to no avail. On February 21 they received a telegram at 2 o'clock in the morning. Johnson was in a critical condition in Bellevue Hospital which they all were from injuries received.

Washington, D. C.—The Nation's Capitol is, in one of its numerous, paradoxical aspects, an oasis of equality in a desert of inequalities—the one community of the entire country where both blacks and whites are disfranchised, or rather unenfranchised. Its population is greater and more sophisticated than that of Idaho which, save Alabama, furnishes the greatest yawper, Borah, to the United States Senate. Washington wants to vote, wants to vote for President, Vice President, and a representative in Congress; but mostly wants to do so if it can be arranged as it has been arranged in South Carolina, and a dozen other sovereign States of the American commonwealth, which like Tex Rickard vainly tried to run the heavyweight-boxing championship game—wholly "nordically." against the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune hurled at his pet hobby-suffrage for the decizzenized or uncitizenized Americans of the District of Columbia. Comparative Statistics. Pointing out that "the argument offered by the opponents that colored residents would hold the balance of power is not based on a careful study of statistics," Mr. The leader of the votes-for Washingtonians movement is the editor of the "Evening Star," the Capitol's leading, venerable and profitable afternoon daily, Theodore W. Noyes. The Noyes are to Washington and its journalism what Dana was to the "Sun," and what Ochs is to New York and the "Times," with the distinction that Dana and Ochs were first of their dynasties. Additionally, "Ted" Noyes' brother is Thomas Noyes, president of the Associated Press, first news gathering and news distributing agency of the Universe. Held "Jim Crow" Contest. Scarce two weeks ago was it when Neel Thomas, Barquo's ghost of segregation's proponents, relentlessly pursued Noyes and the 'Star' for sponsoring a "jimrow" high school oratorical contest here. Mr. Thomas confronted Mr. Noyes with the fact that his contest manager had held a conference with the high school principals to arrange the final "Jimrow" show. "Ily-white." The principals of the legro high schools were left out. Then it was that the faculties of the latter declined the invitation from the "Star" to participate in a "regenerated" debate on the scared Constitution of the U. S. A. The resolution to amend the Constitution to permit W. shingtonians the great privilege of declining to register and vote was offered in the House of Representatives by Congressman Dver, of anti-lynching Bill—"rainbow legislation" fame, and hearings, ending March 15, were conducted by the House judiciary "committee At the hearings, suffrage opponents grounded their opposition on the colored m.n. and never got away from their "ground" as the African content of the District of Columbia's population is in excess of 25 per cent, and enfranchisement would "mean" Negro domination So, not unlike the U. S. prosecutors, who must defend bootleg-snatchers and hooch-snuffers accused of murder in performance of duty, Editor Noyes was constrained to hold the Negro's brief FRIENDLY·ADVICE·on If You Information on Small savings will soon go if wisely invested.

Comparative Statistica .. Pointing out that "the argument offered by the opponents that colored residents would hold the balance of power is not based on a careful study of statistics," Mr. Noyes asked— "Is there some peculiar unfitness in the District's white population 'and some extraordinary taint in the District's colored population which render the three-fourths plus one-fourth combination virulently poisonous, while the much higher colored percentages in some of the States, reaching sometimes one-half plus one-half combination, becomes innocuous?" He cited comparative statistics relative to racial percentages of Maryland and Virginia, and said— "If Washington is unfit for Americanization because of 25.1 colored percentage are not Baltimore with 14.8; Atlantic City, 21.6; Richmond, 31.5, and Norfolk, 37.5 (averaging 20.3) also unfit." Despite the sound argument of Mr. Noyes' foregoing comparative query, some persons here state that it would not be difficult to apprehend the sort of construction Senator Blease, of South Carolina, would place on the citation of the two Virginia cities—Norfolk and Richmond—which have largest colored percentages, in view of the fact that colored citizens have been disfranchised in both for 30 years. To these persons, references to those two "illy-white" towns carries pert significance; though he followed with this— "No element of the population has shown since 1870 greater progress in radically reducing illiteracy, and in the thrift and industry which honestly accumulate property than the colored people of the District. In the World War the percentage of enlisted colored soldiers was distinctly greater in the District than the colored percentage of the District's total population."

A Nominal Desire. The desire of the 'District' folks to toge is perfectly normal. They have to sit here and listen to the constant bids for attention of Senators Bohar and Blaise, both of whom represent constituents immeasurably. Jess is important than the District potentially is. What concerns colored citizens infinitely greater, however, is a more nearly fair attitude of the "Evening Star" towards them. For instance it is claimed that the "Star" received printed what was aid in condensation of Recorder of Deeds Froe (colored) and Superintendent of Schools Balloon (white) on the floor of the House by Congressman Holliday of Illinois, while Mr. Holliday's very complimentary references to Assistant Superintendent of Schools Garnett Willis (colored) were deleted in extract. The most important element of the population in radically reducing illiteracy and in evidence of that thrift and industry which honestly, accumulates property wants the "Star" to get back in the faith and swing of its illustrious founder, long-time editor, the late Crosby S. Noyes, father of the present editor, than whom no community ever possessed a finer, nobler, squarer man.

Negro Business Men Approve National Survey Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Business leaders of the country have joined with Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover in indorsing the nationwide survey of Negro business now being conducted by the National Negro Business League. The survey aims to discover the facts concerning the status and condition of business among Negroes. In a recent letter to Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of the League, Mr Hoover, states that such a survey "should result in the elimination of unconventional practices." Illustrating the need of such a survey, C. C. Spauldiug, president of the North Carolina Life Insurance Company, calls attention to the frequency with which Negroes invest in property which have "not been paying propositions on account of low rents and the small volume of business done by Negroes in the sections where they were located. It would be well for Negroes to have someone to advise 'em before investing so heavily in projects of that nature." "It is about time" states Harry H. Pace, President of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company. "that we abandon the hit-or-miss plan of establishing Negro business and that we try to embark on a general plan of organizations that are needed and that have a reasonable chance of success from the beginning. Too often we have established a good business in the wrong territory and destined to ruin it from the very beginning because it did not have the proper location (or its development). Hope, that it will be possible for the survey to be of help not only to those businesses which exist, but to those which are to be established in the future." F. B. Ransom, manager of the Madame C. J. Walker-Manufacturing Company, agrees with Eff. Pace that the survey should be "of great help in the matter of giving definite data on which to base future activi- "BETTER BABIES" By Dr. ALONZO deG.

Open Monday, Wednesday and Saturday Evenings According to their condition; and time of birth, infants may be classified as (1) mature-born; after full time and normal development; (2) immature-born after full time but abnormal development; (3) premature born ahead of time and of other ages; (4) premature in practice—the immature infants are classed, with the premature for their treatment, is identical. There are many causes for prematurity. At the head of the list is syphilis. Diseases of the mother's kidneys or heart, or the onset of pretumonia, typhoid fever or influenza, may favor, the early expulsion of the unborn child. Repeated pregnancies weaken the anchoring supports of the baby in utero and thus may lead to a premature birth. A mother's strength may be weakened by insufficient food and rest, or she may be addicted to alcoholic or sexual excesses. Metallic poisoning, such as arsenic, phosphorus, or mercury, produce, prematurity. Any external violence, such as blows or falls or straining or lifting are other possible causes. You will have no difficulty in recognizing these infants. They look like little old men or enlivened mummies. They are under weight and of feeble strength. Their cry is a pitiful whine. The skin is wrinkled and hangs in folds about their puny body. The arms and legs are mere spindles. Their color may be pink but it is usually ashen or bluish. Whether a premature child will live or not depends upon (1) the time of birth, (2) the weight at birth, (3) your ability to keep the child warm, (4) the feeding and general care, (5) the presence of disease such as syphilis, (6) the presence of internal abnormalities. THE TIME OF BIRTH—It has been observed that of 56 babies born at 6½ months, 83 per cent died; 131 born at 7 months 58 per cent died; 53 born at 7½ months 30 per cent died; 110 born at 8 months 36 per cent died.

EXTERNAL HEAT—Premature babies are hard to keep warm because (1) they have warm, little fat on the body; (2) the body radiates heat in proportion to the relationship between the body weight and the body surface. This is greater in prematures than in normal infants, therefore the former lose more body heat; (3) the nervous system of the premature does not regulate its body heat as well as that of a normal child; (4) the premature can't produce heat from its food as well as it should for the digestive apparatus is poorly developed; (5) the premature does not produce body heat by kicking and vigorous crying. FOOD—Prematures are hard to feed. The best and, one might say, the only food for the premature is breast milk. If this is not obtainable it is possible to feed them artificially but this MUST be done with the advice of a competent dator. DISEASE-If the child has syphilis it should be given a course of treatment for this. These babies need to be under medical supervision for at least two years. Aside from disease with which the baby may have been born, the prematurely is particularly susceptible to contract infections such as pneumonia. Many of these infants have hemorrhages of the brain with convulsions or bleeding from the cord or bowels. Of internal abnormalities we shall not speak for their explanation is too technical. Just a word about how to keep the premature warm. Suppose the bed is a clothes basket—line this with felt such as is used beneath tablecloths. Have two thicknesses on the bottom and over this put rubber sheeting. Use a pillow for a mattress. Since the baby lacks a fat pad over the body, give him an artificial substitute—cover its body with cotton. made with two cheese cloth, quilted and with hood for the head. The bay should be wrapped in this after being dressed Or if this is too difficult to make, cover the naked body with cotton and hold it in place with the shirt, belly band and diaper.

Now, cover the basket with a sheet, leaving just the face exposed. Remember, the less you handle the premature the better.

Negro Lawyers Win High Praise For Conduct of Case In Which Colored Woman Sues Wealthy White Clubman Five Harlem Attorneys Faced By Battery Of Most Astute White Divorce Lawyers In Country, Led By Famous Max Steuer There is one encouraging feature about the case of Mrs. Letia Brown for a separation from her "common-law" husband, Carlton Curtis, a millionaire clubman and banker, which was tried in the Supreme Court of New York County last week. The encouraging feature of the court case was the splendid showing made by the Negro attorneys. Altogether there were five Negro lawyers in the case and they were opposed by a group of the most astute white divorce lawyers in this country. The Negro group of lawyers were headed by Attorney Richard E. Carey of 2376 Seventh avenue. And among the others associated with him were James P. Iffl, also of 2376 Seventh avenue, and Assistant District Attorney Thomas B. Dyett. Mr. Dyett was connected with the case before he became a city official and served as an advisor to Mr. Carey and Mr. Iffl. sponsibility, as her husband, stating that he had given her money and property at various times but had never lived with her as a husband. He also, by trickery, induced her to sell the Freeport house. Mr. Carey and his associates had gotten twenty or more witnesses, many of them white people from Freeport, to bear out their contention that the Negro woman and white man had lived together as marry and wife. They have also started proceedings to have Mr. Meyers disbarred from further practice because of alleged unethical conduct. From time to time, the The defense attorneys were headed by Max D Steur, probably the greatest lawyer specializing in criminal and divorce cases in New York. It was the first time that Mr. Steur had been opposed by Negro lawyers and their conduct of the case was a revelation to him. He was called into the case at the last minute after Mr. Curtis' personal attorney, C. Augustus Meyers, had been beaten in moves to mash the suit by Mr. Carey. Mr. Carey and his associates had prepared their case so well that Mr Steur took personal charge of the defense and used all the skill and trickery learned in more than twenty-five years' practice to have the case thrown out of court. He went so far as to search back and find Mrs. Brown's complete family record to show that the Negro woman's word·could not be trusted. He brought out at the trial that her name was really Manley and that she had never been married to a man named Brown, as had been claimed·for her. She was brought to New York as a nurse for a family from Tallahassee, then she met about 18 years ago. The family went to Spain and while they were away, she met Mr. Curtis. She was then only seventeen years of age. Mr. Curtis provided an apartment for her in the city and also presented her with a large home at Freeport, Long Island, where it is alleged they lived together for more than 15 years. In 1924 she met a Negro waiter named Garland Patton, who became enamored with her, forsaking his wife and family to go to Paris with the Brown woman in 1925, she paying all the expenses of the trip. She gave Patton the money for another trip to Europe before her white lover discovered another man had come into his alleged wife's life. It was then that his personal lawyer began the manoeuvres that brought about the final break between the white millionaire and his Negro wife. He induced Patton's wife to start an action for separation from her husband and to sue Mrs. Brown for, alienating her husband's affections. This case was settled out of court by the payment of $1500 to Mrs. Patton. This case was alleged to have been laid by Mr. Curtis with the understanding that Mrs. Brown was to leave up Patton. Her white coat that time segmed willing to be her back. But when she touched it affair with Patton, Attorney Meyers induced Mrs. Brown to an affidavit in which she released Curtis from all re- "UNUSUAL OPPORT To Become a Stockholder in a Nei The BRACKEN FURNITU 45-47 WEST 125th STREET, NE SUAL OPPORTUNITY" stockholder in a Neighborhood Enterprise KEN FURNITURE CO., Inc. 125th STREET, NEW YORK CITY STABISHED fifteen years ago with very small capital, has now grown to such large proportions it is deemed adviable to increase its capital to provide funds for expanding business.

They have also started proceedings to have Mr. Meyers disbarred from further practice because of alleged unethical conduct. From time to time, the general charge that Negro lawyers would sell out their clients has been made but the lawyers in this case have disproved this saying. They had an unusual opportunity to sell out their client by laying down on the case and at considerable profit to themselves. But they were unusually loyal to their client, getting a fee if they won and working for nothing if they lose The Negro lawyer in New York has arrived. Monday afternoon, Judge Townley granted Mr. Steuer's motion to dismiss the action on the grounds that the relationship, as shown in the evidence, was not that of man and wife, but of master and mistress.

Bethune-Cookman College Trustees Hold Meeting - Daytona, Fla.-The annual meeting of the trustee board of Bethune-Cookman College was held on March 7, at ten o'clock at the college. During the morning and afternoon, members of the board from Chicago, Cincinnati, New York City, Jacksonville; Sanford and Daytona Beach sat in session, discussing situations and making plans for the work of the College.

LEVI WILLIAMS O Honored by Pennsylvania Railro on Retirement after 40 Years Service LEVI WILLIAMS OF JERSEY CITY, N. J. Honored by Pennsylvania Railroad Officials and Fellow Workmen on Retirement: after 40 Years Service. RED CAPS OF PENN STATION HONOR LEVI WILLIAMS Veteran Porter Retired After Forty-Four Years Service Levi Williams, who was recently retired by the Pennsylvania Railroad after nearly 44 years service as a Red Cap at the Pennsylvania station, was honored by his fellow workers under Chief Robinson Saturday afternoon, March 17, with the presentation of $200 in gold and a brass tablet. The presentation ceremonies took place at the station and were witnessed by several hundred porters and friends. A. B. Randolph was master of ceremonies and the exercises opened with invocation by the Rev. Charles Brown, followed by a selection from the Red Cap quartet Henry Harrison, who had been a porter of Mr. Williams, then made a laudatory address in praise of the honored guests' loyalty and faithfulness to duty and his high qualities as a man and citizen. The money, ten twenty-dollar gold pieces, were then presented by Mr. Randolph, for the porters. And a fitting address of response was made by Mr. Williams, who attributed his long years of service to putting God first. He also reviewed the progress the railroad had made while he had been in its service and recalled some interesting experiences of his career. The gift, he said, was not altogether a surprise to him, but he gleaned an inimitable touch through his son, who also is employed at this station. He promised to put the money with another gift of appreciation he received in 1908 by his coworkers of that time. Presented A Bronze Tablet After a selection by a string quartet under direction of Mr. Langford, the bronze tablet was presented by Alderman Fred R. Moble, who also congratulated Mr. Williams for his splendid service to the company. Mr. Moore took occasion to congratulate Chief Robinson and the Red Caps as a group for the service they are renduring the public. He said he hoped the day would come when the railroad company realized more fully the value of these men to System Filled With Poison as a result of CONSTIPATION Mr. R. J. Black, of Kelton, S. C., says: "I could not eat and my rest at night was disturbed. I was troubled with the effects of gas palms, and I hardly had a comfortable day. I was nervous and worried. All I could do was to complain. I tried several things but I could get no relief. All my aliments were the result of chronic constipation which caused my system to become filled with poison. "One day a friend suggested that I try Black-Draught. I began taking it right off. I continued the medicine for several weeks and since then I have felt fine.

George E. Bates grand secretary of the I. B P. O. Elksof the World, who is also an employee of this railroad, had been invited to attend this program but was prevented by business which called him to Trenton. Mr. Williams, who is a resident of Jersey City, entered the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1884 and was one of the three original Red Caps employed by this company.

North Carolina White Church Invites Negro Group To New Edifice North Carolina White Church Invites Negro Group To New Edifice Oxford, N. C—Home coming week was closed Friday evening, March 2, with a beautiful service when the congregation of the Negro Baptist church was invited to worship in the new Magist church. A touching and beautiful announcement was made by the pastor, Dr O. R. Mangum, when he told that the members of the Negro church had raised money more than sufficient to pay for the pulpit chars in the new church. This act on the part of the Negroes was highly appreciated by the congregation Greetings from the Negro church were brought by the pastor, Rev. G. D. Wharton, who an well adressed style congratulated the Oxford people on this wonderful achievement and told of the excellent feeling of fellowship existing between the two congregations and of the feeling of goodwill existing in Oxford between the two races. The speaker of the evening's program was Dr. A. Paul Bagby, pastor of the Baptist church at. Wake Forest. Dr. Bagby used as the subject of his forceful sermon, "The Meaning of the Cross for Sons Of Georgia Give Million-Dollar Dance One of the really gorgeous entertainment of the present season was the Million-Dollar Ball given by the Society of the Sons of Georgia at the New Manhattan Casino on Thursday night, March 15. The hall was elaborately decorated, a huge quantity of Georgia silver moss having been imported from Savannah for the occasion. The area just in front of the stage was a bower of Georgia roses of all tints and shades, and in the center there spotted a multicolored fountain of delicately performed water. And when the ball was over, there was not a rosebud left on a bush, hundreds of the ladies plucking the flowers for souvenirs. The decorations were by Robert W. Spaulding, who, with Mrs. Spaulding, operates the Haven Flower Shop at 2365 Seventh avenue. The spacious casino was a lively scene, with the beautiful gowns of the women contrasting _harply with the sober garb of the men. And the dance floor was no livelier than the boxes, for the hosts spared no pains or expense in entertaining their guests. John C. Smith's Orchestra, furnished delectable dance music.

It was therefore more or less a makeshift, with not sufficient ground area to erect a building suitable for the present needs of the police. A modern building should be provided on a larger plot, to properly house the police of this precinct. HAND PICKED 'LEADERSHIP. The growing sentiment in favor of creating a political leadership for the race, evolved from within its ranks, instead of being imposed from without; has been evidenced by the many expressions printed in these columns from leading ministers and laymen. In such political units as the Nineteenth and Twentyfirst Assembly districts, where ninety per cent, of the enrolled Republicans are colored, it would be entirely in keeping that they should elect a political leader from their own group. They have no lack of material, there being among them men of vigor and energy, thoroughly equipped to fill the bill. It is a great deal easier to select a leader, than to provide him with loyal and determined supporters. Police protection and hospital service are essential to the wellbeing of the community. These are among the necessities of civic existence, which must be kept up to their mark, if the community is to reap the full benefits of such service. SUPERVISING ELECTIONS. In pursuance of its self-imposed task of acting as international policeman to the weaker Latin-American republics, the United States has ordered one thousand more marines to go to Nicaragua. This will make some thirty-seven hundred armed sailors and marines on hand, sensibly to supervise the election of a president for Nicaragua next October, in accordance with the agreement negotiated by Henry L. Stimson last May. In the meantime the Nicaraguan Congress refused to ratify this agreement, not more than two weeks ago, voting down the bill providing for American supervision of their election. But the United States authorities, carrying out the spirit of the recent doctrine, seem determined to have the Nicaraguans from themselves by supervising their voting processes, no matter how many marines are required to do it. The ungrateful reluctance of the Nicaraguans to submit to American supervision of their voting may be due to some reports that have leaked out as to how that supervision works in Haiti. Letters smuggled out of that island described the manner in which amendments to the constitution were voted upon January 10 and 11, under the supervision of the American High Commissioner backed by United States marines. The Baltimore Afro-American quoted these letters as explaining the means by which these amendments were passed.

But the United States authorities, carrying out the spirit of the Monroe doctrine, seem determined to save the Nicaraguans from themselves by supervising their voting processes, no matter how many marines are required to do it. The demand for racial representation in the political field is a perfectly legitimate one and is bound to be fulfilled in the near future. This has been shown in the history of other groups of voters in this city, such as the Jews, the Italians and the Irish. If these groups can select their own representatives as leaders and keep them in office by their loyal support, there is no reason why the Negro voters in such districts as those in Harlem cannot do the same thing. It would enlarge the field of experience for our young men, and give them a wider participation in the affairs of government. They would have the opportunity to take part in party councils, to represent their districts in State and County convention and learn the game of politics from A to Z. The ungracious reluctance of the Nicaraguans to submit to American supervision of their voting may be due to some reports that have leaked out as to how that supervision works in Haiti. Letters smuggled out of that island described the manner in which amendments to the constitution were voted upon January 10 and 11, under the supervision of the American High Commissioner backed by United States marines. The Baltimore Afro-American quoted these letters as explaining the means by which these amendments were passed. Thinking people of all races will feel greater respect for the Negro when he can select his own leaders, instead of having them handpicked for him, by white politicians who put up a mankin, who can be the most easily, manipulated. There can be no real political future for the race until it can evolve its own leadership from within, choosing men who are truly representative of its aspirations and ideals, so far as ideals are possible in politics. At all events, a leader of this type would be more likely to serve the ends desired, than one picked merely for his subservience to the party machine. The race will get the leadership to which it is entitled as soon as it deserves it. It must first know its strength and have the courage to exercise it. Select the man, or the men, it wants for leaders and support them by votes and in every other way possible. This will put an end to the exploitation of the colored voters by scheming white politicians whose interest droops after election day. Political leadership evolved from within should supplant that false pretence of leadership imposed from without, which was stunted the growth of the party and created dissatisfaction within the ranks. The idea of having white men pick leaders for Negroes should not be tolerated by our voters as it would not be by any other group. The letters say that all the street sweepers and municipal laborers were packed in truck cars that they might not escape. They were taken to the voting places and obliged by strict orders to cast their vote for the amendments. As the number of voters increased, so did the number than 40 times, going from one polling place to another; each time using a false name. In Port au Prince all custom house clerks, employees and laborers were sent for and organized in groups of 11 each to be sent to the polling places. As the pay roll was called, each man under the control of a supervisor was forced to cast as many votes as ordered. Dr. M Desbrosses, assistant to the president, was reported as voting boys of 14 and 15 years old. Government laborers, tired and ashamed, escaped one at a time, in order to keep them they were made drunk with tafia (white rum). Patriots estimate that at least 100,000 fraudulent electoral cards were issued by General Russell and President Borno. Now, American supervision is not needed to do this kind of ballot box stuffing, except that in Haiti the Borno government would undoubtedly collapse without the support of the American occupation behind it. But in most of the Latin-American republics the exercise of a suffrage is perfunctory the party that Now, American supervision is not needed to do this kind of ballot box stuffing, except that in Haiti the Borno government would undoubtedly collapse without the support of the American occupation behind it. But in most of the Latin-American republics the exercise of the suffrage is perfunctory, the party that controls the army dictating the casting of the ballots and intimidating its opponents from voting. This was why an American authority on Latin-America explained, some years ago, it was necessary to have a revolution in order to effect a change of government. Things may have changed in some measure since that time, but most of the stable governments in Central and South America are still ruled by dictators, who maintain their power by armed force. That was the secret of the rule of Diaz in Mexico, Castro and Gomez in Venezuela, and others. CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED. Despite its age, New York is a growing city, as is made manifest by the failure of its provisions for transportation and other public necessities to keep up with the demands of the population Especially is this fact noticeable in Manhattan, in the upper part of the Island. Harlem stands in need of many civic improvements, due to the increase of population during the past ten years, in order to better guard the health and security of its residents. Among these needs we single out two of the most pressing, as demanding, attention by the city authorities. If American supervision of elections in the Latin republics is to proceed on the plan alleged id Haiti, it is only perpetuating the abuses of stuffing ballot boxes and upholding unpopular rulers by force of arms. The Nicaraguans and Haitians could do quite as well as that without American intervention. If the idea behind this domination of weaker republics is really to develop a system of self-government there should be a better way of getting at it than by sending American The station house for the Sixteenth precinct, on West 135th street, has outlived its usefulness, in its inadequacy to meet the growing demands of that locality. There is lack of sufficient space for sleeping quarters and recreational facilities for the force assigned to that precinct, and there is not room to properly accommodate the prisoners. While this station house was a decided improvement in the quarters formerly occupied by the marines to slaughter and themselves be slaughtered in the process. This craze for supervising elections in other lands might be diverted to more useful purposes, if the Federal government would take a hand in supervising elections within its own boundaries. There are several states in the Union where elections, primary, state and national, are a howling force. Qualified voters are kept from the polls by fraud and intimidation and government is turned to anarchy, or wielded by an irresponsible oligarchy. Men are sent to Congress and governors installed by a minority of those qualified to vote. The National Constitution is tacitly violated and disfanchisement openly advocated. Nowhere is there greater need for supervising elections than in the states formerly known as Confederate. If the marines must be used to supervise elections, why not begin at home? PORTO RICAN ASPIRATIONS The plea of the Porto Ricans for a larger measure of self-government, after having been somewhat severely rebuked by President Coolidge in his letter to Governor Towner, was encouraged by a bill introduced in the House of Representatives by Congressman La Guardia of New York. Mr. Coolidge in his letter enumerated the material benefits conferred upon the Porto Ricans during the past thirty years of American occupation, which made quite a total in the summing up of dollars and cents. The insular taxes, the customs duties and the internal revenue taxes on goods shipped to the United States all go to the Island treasury to defray the cost of government. The plea of the Porto Ricans for longer measure of self-government, and having been somewhat severely rebelled President Coolidge in his letter, Governor Towner, was encouraged by all introduced in the House of Representatives by Congressman La Guasca, New York. Mr. Coolidge in his letter enumerated the material benefits earned upon the Porto Ricans during the last thirty years of American occupation, which made quite a total in the sums of dollars and cents. The insular city, the customs duties and the interest revenue taxes on goods shipped to the United States all go to the Island trade to defray the cost of government. Besides this the island has received material improvements in the establishment of schools, the maintenance of roads, and work of sanitation in out bubonic plague and the theorm. The natural products of the island have been stimulated, and the ports of sugar, tobacco, coffee and trade have largely increased. Native labor has been the last factor to benefit from this decrease of prosperity. Still, the lot of Porto Ricans as a whole has improved American rule. In political affairs the Porto Rican direct their own legislature and exercise share of control in their internal affairs they have a majority of the Governor council, the Governor himself being American appointed by the President coming from this country. Mr. Guardia's bill provides for the election of a Porto Rican as Governor by the residents on the island. This, called, "the first step toward compartmentomy." The Porto Rican legislature asked that the island be made a "state." There has always been an interest on the island that looked forward statehood for Porto Rico, while ultra independentists clamored for Caribbean republic." From a purely material point of view Porto Rico is no doubt better off as a dependency of the United States. A dependency of Spain it was transferred to the United States after the Spanish-American war, without a blowing struck either for its freedom or repatriation. The people took rapidly American institutions and the capital, mean, although the oldest walled city in the hemisphere, has a large contending Americans, with their peculiar institutions, such as soda water fountains and cream counters. If electing a native Porto Rican Governor will add to the contentment of Porto Ricans, they might be allowed a slight satisfaction. Most of the Americans sent there to govern the island he began of mediocre ability, and inclined upon the susceptibilities of the United Porto Ricans. Governor Towner has done much to repair the damage American prestige inflicted by his mediate predecessor, but he is credited with unusual tact and diplomacy. It would probably be safe to all Porto Rican as a free hand in working destiny, as has been given Cuba, larger sister. Besides this the island has received material improvements in the establishment of schools, the maintenance of good roads, and work of sanitation in stamping out bubonic plague and the hookworm. The natural products of the island have been stimulated, and the exports of sugar, tobacco, coffee and tropical fruits have largely increased. That muth of the benefit derived from this increase of trade has gone to Americans is due to the fact that American capital has taken over the ownership of many of these industries. Native labor has been the last factor to benefit from this increase of prosperity. Still, the lot of the Porto Ricans as a whole has improved under American rule. In political affairs the Porto Ricans elect their own legislature and exercise a share of control in their internal affairs. They have a majority of the Governor's Council, the Governor himself being an American appointed by the President and coming from this country. Mr. La Guardia's bill provides for the election of of a Porto Rican as Governor by the citizens resident on the island. This he called, "the first step toward complete autonomy." The Porto Rican legislature had asked that the island be made a "free state." There has always been an element on the island that looked forward toward statehool for Porto Rico, while the ultra independentists clamored for a "Caribbean republic." From a purely material point of view, Porto Rico is no doubt better off as a dependency of the United States. As a dependency of Spain it was transferred to the United States after the Spanish-American war, without a blow being struck either for its freedom or occupation. The people took rapidly to American institutions and the capital, San Juan, although the oldest walled city in this hemisphere, has a large contingent of Americans, with their peculiar institutions, such as soda water fountains and ice cream counters. If electing a native Porto Rican Governor will add to the contentment of the Porto Ricans, they might be allowed that slight satisfaction. Most of the Americans sent there to govern the island have been of mediocre ability, and inclined to jar upon the susceptibilities of the cultured Porto Ricans. Governor Towner has done much to repair the damage to American prestige inflicted by his immediate predecessor, but he is credited with unusual tact and diplomacy. It would probably be safe to allow Porto Rico as free a hand in working out its destiny, as has been given Cuba, its larger sister. A POISON DETECTOR.

Since a paternal government has taken to poisoning the base of bootleg booze, this ancient jest has become a grim reality. Hence the active inventors of long felt wants have prepared a pocket laboratory for the testing and detection of impure liquor. This chemical apparatus, which is being sold as a patented product, is en THE AGE READERS' FORUM being a reliable test for the detection of such poisons in whiskies as wood, alcohol, formaldehyde and alcohol, even in small, quantities. It is pronounced a simple and sure means of determining the purity of alcoholic beverages, and is known as the Schiff test.

Of course the time and place for its application are subject to Porters' Union Is Undaunted By Commerce Commission's Decision BY A. PHILLIP RANDOLPH In the summer of 1925, three Pullman porters, W. B. DesVernier, Roy Lancaster and A. L. Totten, 35, 17 and 9 years in the Pullman service, respectively, and the writer, came together in colorful Harlem and began the movement to organize the Pullman porters and maids. The effort caught the imagination of the porters and swept the country with a wave of enthusiasm from one to forty years on the cars, embraced the Brotherhood of Sleeping Cat Porters with the burning ardor of a disciple of a new faith. In two years over seven thousand of the 10,994 Pullman porters and maids in the service, had pounded the ranks of the Union. On street corners, in barbershops, homes, social gatherings and thuribles the question was asked: What is better with the porters? 35, 17 and 9 years had been with age that porters made a mint of money out of tips, that they were rotten rich, and had plenty of property and lived in clover. "Why, look at Doctor or Lawyer So-and-so who was once a porter. Look at him now. He has made plenty of money," was heard from some well-meaning, but misinformed man. A forlumman porter may be a prosperous doctor or lawyer today, it does not follow that his affluence was made on the Pullman cars. I thus, the public was rudely disillusioned upon being informed that the monthly wage of a Pullman porter was $67.50 a month two years ago, and now $72.50 a month. He was granted since the Union began. Even this meagre wage is only received by a porter when he puts in a tullown. There are several thousand "extra porter" who get a run only now and then bi-monthly check is sometimes as low as $7, for if a porter is not assigned to a run, he will be paid. Even a regular porter would not draw a full month's pay if he missed his regular run. But what about all the tipsters pet gets? someone asks. According to a survey of the Pullman porters' work and wages and tips, by the Labor Bureau of New York, it was discovered that the average porter received $58 in tips a month. It was also determined that the average porter had an occupational expense of $38,000. It was pay out this amount for shoe polish, two suits of uniforms, meals on transit, and meals-and lodging at termini, where quarters are not provided or where they are undesirable, which is generally the case, in order to be a porter. It is estimated that porters pay out some $200,000 a year for shoe polish alone to the passengers' shoes, for which they dare not request payment upon pain of being given book-suspension on fire if they are not on duty. And should he fail to shine the shoes he is also penalized, if reported. The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is opposed to tips because they are uncertain, irregular, inadequate and degrading; also because tips enable the Pullman Company to fix wages at a starvation level. That the company fixes wages in relation to tips is shown by the fact that porter lights are not the light, because of the class of passengers, receive a slight differential in pay above the basic wage of the standard sleeping car porter. Thus, the $7,000,000 toll in tips which the public gives yearly to the porters actually enables the company to reduce its wage bill by that amount. But even the doubtful blessing of receiving tips is not always assured the dead-headed for months may be dead-headed for months around the country, in which event he receives no tips, since there are no passengers on the car. In addition to the wage question, hours of work is a matter of no little concern and unrest. At present, porters work on a mileage basis, that is, they are required to make 11,000 miles of road service or near 40,000 miles of road service; for they are entitled to pay for over-time. Because of the mileage basis of computing wages, porters are required to give from one to 5 hours' work, making their cars and receiving passengers, without pay. This is known in Pullman parlance as "preparatory time." For instance, a porter on train leaving New York tonight at 12:35, reports for duty, has a pay of $1.50 per hour, he leaves for a pay, once he does not begin until the train leaves the station. This practice is general throughout the various districts. While the above-named conditions are sufficient to create wide-spread unrest among the porters and maids, they are not all of the porters' grievances. Like the employees of the Interborough Ranid Transit, the porters are not all of the uniform, sugar-coated as the employee representation plan. Under this plan a porter may be fired by any passenger who, takes a notion to write a letter to the Pulphin Company, complaining against the service. The prohibition authorities are said to be inquiring into the legality of advertising and selling this poison detector. So long as stills and worms and other apparatus for making homebrew are openly advertised and sold, with instruments for determining proof of liquor, a chemical.test for poison might be allowed the ultimate consumer. passenger happens to take a dislike to the face or walk or voice of a porter. Now the superintendent who discharges him sits on the grievance committee and serves a prosecutor, who is the supervisor allowed to remain in the committee during his hearing, nor is he permitted to get any evidence on his case from the complaining passenger or inspector who may write him up. The company union permits the superintendent to go through a make-believe investigation of advisability of reversing his action. This, of course, is seldom done. The porter members of the grievance committee are afraid to speak up for a fellow-porter, since they realize they, too, may be discharged should they, too, be discharged of the superintendent by opposing his discharging a porter. To the end of reminding this condition, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, presented its case to the United States Mediation Board, in accordance with the provisions of the Railway Act, in May of 1920 and July of 1927. The Pullman Company contended at the hearings that the employees representation plan presented the partners, since 88 per cent of them had viewed for the Porter's union answered this statement by presenting 1,000 aldermen, showing that the men voted under intimidation and coercion But L. S. Hungerford, vice-president and general manager of the Pullman Company, replied that there was nothing to arbitrate, that there was no dispute, although Edwin P. Morrow, one of the members of the United States Mediation Board, and written the company and urged it in person to arbitrate the dispute with the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Failing to get any adjustment of the dispute through the United States Mediation Board, the Union filed its case with the Inter-State Commerce Commission, calling for a ban on tips and an investigation of the Commission, March 9, decided that it had no jurisdiction in the matter. Therefore the Union shall proceed to the creation of an emergency by the Railway Labor Act when mediation and arbitration, failed. Some may inquire as to whether the Pullman Company can pay the porters and maids a living wage. Any doubt on this question will be forthwith removed when it is known that in 1896 the Pullman company a net profit of $20,000. Since 1897, it has distributed in cash dividends over $245,000,000 and $64,000,000 in stock dividends, and has no funded indebtedness. Though the Company discharges Pullman porters as disoyal for joining the Brotherhood of Sleeping Cat Porters, it has granted an increase in wages this month to the Pullman conductors whose Union was recognized by the company. That means that the Filipinos who were placed on club cars, depriving Negro porters of jobs who had given 20 and 30 years of faithful work in the service, have received an increase in pay also. Despite the Commission's decision, upon which the porters union placed a grievous demand the company has been stirred to flint-like resolution and determination to lift to a finish until victory is won. A strike vote will be taken in the near future. Georgia Woman Writes Of Pitiful Conditions Edgerton of The New York Age "Our people in this county and other counties in Georgia are in a critical condition for schools. I have seen little girls six years of age have to walk to school three days and more in the rain and cold. It is not easy for them. Our children are carried on trucks. The men, the preachers and the teachers who go from here to the state convention say they are going to see what can be done for the betterment of the Negroes. When they get back they say they had a fine time and heard some of the best speakers they ever had. They never say that must but they school houses and have better schools for the coming generation. They don't say that our boys and girls need a better education and we must prepare better schools. They never say "let us put on a rally and raise $100 for school purposes." but send all off to colleges and foreign missions. The churches here are growing cold on account of ignorance. If someone would come through here and look and see the condition here, they could not help but feel sorry for the people. After the children finish the sixth or seventh grades, the parents are not able to send them off to school. Some The label on your paper gives date of expiration.

Denouncing the attitude of the Secretary of the Interior, in flatly refusing to abolish segregation of employees in the Land Office, the Washington Eagle said: Hubert Work, the present Secretary of the Interior, has been holding office under the past two Republican administrations. We have never heard of any special service he rendered to the party, nor have we heard of him possessing outstanding qualifications which would fit him for the office in our hold, or the one he had before he was catapulted to the present one in which he battles around, and in which he has the opportunity to wave the big stick of disinterment Were he the possessor of any statesmanship, had he any regard for the traditions of the Republican party in which he masquerades as a member, he would not flaunt his manifest hate for the Negro. He is said to be high up in the councils of Herbert Hoover as aspirant for the Presidency on the Republican ticket. It has seen that in the event of nomination Hoover will be the national chairman. Should such an eventuality occur the Republican party will be freighted and handcapped with a chairman who will be the subject of attack from those colored people who will fight to the bitter end Negro batters. - segregationists and lily-witch. If the present outfit now masquerading under the name of 'Republican thinks of the Negro as it did twenty-five years ago it is due to a rude awakening. If they want segregation to be the issue in the next campaign, we are ready. While Secretary Work would probably disclaim any special hatred of the Negro, his attitude tends to suggest that there's precious little difference between some Republicans and some Democrats as heads of departments. The Florida Sentinel of Jacksonville is an editorial headline gave this advice. "Vote for men and measures and not party labels." After reciting the frustless results of blindly listening to partisan appeals, it said. While he has insisted and wondered what he was all about, his constitutional rights have been gradually abridged and he has been reduced to almost a helpless political babe, subjected to the whims and caprices of city hall politicians. Several years ago the Mayor of Jacksonville issued an edict that a Garvey boat could not dock here. A few weeks ago the same Mayor issued an infamous order that A. Philip Randolph, organizer of the Palmport porters, could not address an auditorium. Two weeks ago a resolution was introduced in the city council to prevent Negro contractors from following their trades in certain districts. Whether the Negroes believe in Garvey's cause or not, whether we agree with Randolph or not, whether our contractors would ever get jobs in the restricted districts or not, it cannot be gainslad that had a substantial number of Negro citizens who would be effective mount of protection, the highest bidder for deeds performed irrespective of party affiliations, the city hall politicians would not have disregarded our constitutional rights to see Garvey's boat, to hear Randolph talk and pass judgment on him ourselves, and for our contractors to compete honestly in the economic battle for existence. Voters for men and measures never seek an effective mount of protection to the resolution mill, as is so common among us. They speak at the polls for men who respect their wishes. This indicates the vanishing of some long cherished political illusions. The time is coming when the race will learn to use the vote as a practical means toward good betterment. --- For many years a favorite phrase of the reporter of personal items was trait SoundSo. Said a flaming tint to some place or other. That this has become a literal fact was shown in a letter written by Bishop Gregg to the editor of the Christian Recorder, in which he told how in order to avoid sea sickness, he took passage by airplane from London to Paris. The good Bishop wrote: At twelve o'clock "The Silver Wing" all set three of her engines to roaring and we taxied to the far end of the field, turmed and headed back toward the Aerodrome which we cleared by several feet and we jumped in the field and bound the Thames we sailed and what a sight it was to look down upon the houses, streets and parks. Just as the English Channel came in sight we began to descend, and every one wondered. The Steward came down the aisle and told each of us that we were dropping at Pollystone to pick an ice cream from another place sent from Southampton. After a half hour's wait the other plane came and we were off again, over the English Channel. The Steward brought our lunches and some lemonade to Mrs. Gregg and some coffee to me. At the front of the plane all are two meters one for mile per hour and the other for height. Also there is of them say that there is no need for education Some of the white people offered to help in building a good school but our men were too ignorant to take the offer. We need home missionaries who are able to see the need of the people in the way of education. Oh! if we could get up and out of the dust that settled the South in 1860. We could have some prudent men and women. a thermometer. At the front of each seat was an envelope with a bit of cotton for the ears to deaden the sound of the motors. How monochantly we ate our lunch and sipped our drinks at a height of two thousand feet above the channel. It is 21 miles across the Channel but we over bore we could think We over how enough to see the Channel well and ships passing to and so. This was not Bishop Gregg's first flying trip, he having taken to the air for a short flight some years ago, in Florida. If he persists in this mode of travel, he may come to be known as "the Flying Bishop." The Washington Tribune recently announced, that acquiescing to local custom, plans are being made for the segregation of delegates at the Republican national convention in Kansas' City, Mo, June 12. It said. In a letter signed by Lalayette B. Gleason, of New York, secretary of the committee on arrangements for the national convention, members for the Republican national committee are being notified of hotel arrangements for their state delegations. After telling the committeemen that rooms have been reserved for the state convention at certain hotels and that the management the hotel will forward them contracts, Mr. Gleason adds that the local committee in Kansas City has charge of the assignment of rooms for Negro delegates. There are two first class hotels and a Young Men's Christian Association available for colored delegates, he advises. This is the first time in the history of the Republican party that colored delegates could not stop at a hotel, and this is why delegates from their state stop. Besides the "black and tan" delegations from southern states, there are always colored delegates from northern and western states. Whether or not colored persons will be permitted to visit in the white hotels has not yet been learned. As the Republican administration which has been in power for over seven years, has condoned and continued segregation in most of the departments at Washington, this further step is not surprising. Some light was thrown upon the diversion of Federal funds allotted to aid education in the Southern states, through the publication of a table prepared by Dean Dwight, O. A. Holmes and Prof. Charles H. Thompson for the Howard University bureau of research of the School of Education. In printing this table the Baltimore Afro-American said: If the above facts as published by the Howard University Bureau of Education are true, here is a gigantic government fraud involving 10 universities that would equal which in 30 years would equal the Teapot dome steal. Southerners, of course, deny that any misuse of federal funds is being perpetuated. Rep. Malcolm C. Tanner (Dem.) of Georgia, is one who has been accused of and who declares that South-Hughes and Morrell-Nelson funds are the only federal moneys for higher education spent in Georgia, which gets $261,127 instead of the half million dollars set down in the Howard taxation system, are 50% in error, is his inference. Fortunately the truth or falsity of these figures is a matter which can and will be established without any need of argument. Howard's figures so contended DEM Congressmen that the Howard appropriation was passed without debate. But they should also serve to open the eyes of 17 southern states and cause them to find out what becomes of federal appropriations for College education. Of course the Negroes of the South are the victims of this gigantic fraud, through which they are robbed of their rightful share of Federal and to education A headline in the Savannah Tribune, reading "What the Ham Show Has Done," is apt to disappoint the student of things theatrical, a tell of progress in stock raising in Georgia. The article quoted a report of T. M. Campbell, United State field extension agent, on the eleventh annual Ham Show at Lort Valley, as follows. The exhibition this year covered 488 choice hams, shoulders and sides of bacon. Prior to the launch of movement, scores of farmers in that neighborhood lost their meat due to improper butchering and storing. Now it is conservatively estimated that 75 per cent of all the farmers in that section, due to instruction and information received their meat not only for use but have a surplus to sell in the hog aumping Negro farmers in Houston and Peach counties. In that stead are excellent pure bred hams. At the 1927 Southeastern Fair held in Atlanta, coloured farmers in Peach and Houston counties up from their organization approximately ninety hams, which most of the first prizes over all testators. The state editors of Georgia in their daily and weekly papers called attention in the movement and offered prizes of one year's subscription to the coloured farmers who showed outstanding growth in hog production. The turn caused more colored farmers to read the newspapers than ever before. This goes to show that health may county one meaning in New York and something entirely different in another setting. CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER-NEW YORK Refuge Church of Christ Service at Refuge Church was exceptionally good, with splendid congregations at morning and evening services. The pastor filled the room with services. In the evening he presided over Gods anans 2:14. "But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before the all, if thou, being a Jew invest after the all, did the Jews, why compellest then the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?" Elder Lawson, said: This is a remarkable white light of honesty of an episode, that God has not taken an example to them that afterward low, God never caverns the wrong of its people, but the sins and wrongs no matter how disgraceful, are recorded in the word of God. Peter was wrong in this, and God was wrong in this, and we stood hight to his face because he was to be blamed. In the chapter preceding this one, Paul rehearsed the matter of how he had received, and was set before he had received it, and the had not received it of man, neither was taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Moreover, he affirmed that he sought not to please men, for if he set pleased men, he would not find the chief apostle walking not according to the TRUTH of the gospel, he is grieved, and withstood him to his face, that he was to be blamed. This fault in Peter was the other saints, and Barnabas was following right after Peter. The weakness and inconstancy of the best men is a flagrant hindrance in the worship of God. We are likely to be encountered with particular race relations of our day, however, to dissemble along any line, racely, socially, or other wise, and especially touching religious, or spiritual things—there are no lessons in the lesson from Paul's tenacious trueness to the gospel, that he should have the buildiness to withstand, and reuse the chief apostle to his face, because he walked not according to that truth of the gospel that when people are being carried away by most anything but the TRUTH, to please others and agree with their circle of friends, or surrendered but the true gospel, that he be like Paul, withstand everybody that walketh contrary to same. Being unpopular does not distract from the gospel, it is mighty and will stand the test of every criticism, and finally find its way to every honest heart inspite of it. He will be called to teach that he shall not escape, even as Peter, Paul said, "they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me; but contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of circumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of circumcision was wrought effectually in Peter, was Mighty in me; when they perceived the grace given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship." We see by this, that he did not lose, but brought favor and power of God by walking according to the truth of the gospel. St. Martin's Chapel The regular Sunday morning service was held at St. Martin's Chapel on Sunday at 11 a.m with a large attendance despite the stormy weather The Rev. John H Johnson, swarer the chapel and interested the institution Rev Sunderland, superintendent of the Episcopal Mission, was ill and could not he present but not a message wishing the vicar and members great success as he feels they have progressed greatly since the opening of the service at 4:30 p.m. there was also a good attendance, the Rev Usher, chaplain of Welfare Island, being the preacher Rev Usher gave a splendid discourse and wished the work great success, hoping the people in the community will support it to derive much spiritual gain in making it should be and supporting our vicar in this colossal work not for any one group but for the masses.

An elaborate program was prepared and carried through without a hitch. At the eleven o'clock service the ladies' progressive Club celebrated the university's honor guests. The pastor's sermon was to the Club and his text was from Matthew 25,21; "Faithfulness in little things" was his theme. Under this theme the pastor spoke of the fact, the promise and the reward of God toward the work of the club by being quite practical, delightfully appropriate and altogether pleasing. The Ladies Club had two numbers on the program: A solo by Mrs. Carrie B. Porter: "Come Ye Blossomed," by Scott and a beautiful paper at the work of the club by having a great orator choir did the rest. At the close of the service the Ladies Progressive Club, by Mrs W. B. Jefferson, presented the pastor with a purse sufficiently large to take him to the National Ministerial Alliance at Washington on March 11, having been designated as chairman of New York delegation from the International Preachers Meeting of New York City and vicinity, and later designated by Gov. Alfred E. Smith to represent the State of New York. Deacon John H. Perry gave an important address to the nation on four years, that was generous and appropriate. The afterfunion service was given to the Boy Scouts of America Troop 774, P. P. Marshall, scout master. The Scouts featured the Johnson Music School. The School rendered an excellent program. Mr. Goodman, national scout executor, for our group, added a bit of humble sprech. This program was given to and the Boy Scout camp, fund. The day moved on to a climax. At the evening service there were three attractions to the program Senator William M. Calder, Alderman Fred B. Moore and Grace Church church leader all at their best. Oh, it was a great evening. If all the young people could have heard these men of renown tell how they worked out success with only a grammar school education, it would have heartened many boys who think that success lies in a diploma alone. It was one of the greatest achievements held in Church and there have been good ones. Alderman Moore, lamb-based his political enemies, and especially the unjust white politician, with a good natured sarcasm that was at once humorous and convincing. The audience roared at the pointed thrusts of the Alderman he got. He got the Senator—whom he named for vice president, this ticket being Lowden and Calder for the Republican standard hearers. An afternoon tea was given at the residence of Mrs. Mattie Wilson II, West Dorset, D) Nursery of Grace Church, the growth of which begins to tax the capacity of the building. Repairs are new being made for a larger number of children. The Kindergarden features, added in 2014, the larger children advantages not obtained in nurseries generally. The management is in the hands of the Misses Garner and Mrs. Mildred Payne. Next Sunday closes the quarter and Monday night, March 26th, will be the quarterly meeting for any and all business. Union Baptist Church During the past week, the Woodman Quartet of Brooklyn rendered excellent service. Wednesday evening the annual meeting of the membership Society was held. This is a charitable organization for the church. This report shows that the receipts for the year amounted to $2,006.42 $508.30 was paid to the sick, and death claims amounting to $1,250. This society has a cash balance of $1,100.41. During our building program the society donated building materials to the building. The officers are John Yates, president, John Paschal, secretary, W. H Johnson, treasurer; Mrs. Mary McCargo and Florence Sanchez financial secretaries. The official board of the church constitutes the board of management of each auxiliary in the church is a vice-president of the society. Sunday, the weather was unfavorable and caused many of our children to miss Sunday school. At 11 a.m. the chorus under direction of Prof. Adger renders excellent performance. The sermon was delivered by Paxton Sims Sims. This sermon was very practical and well delivered. At 1 p.m. a large number of our members worshiped with the Metropolitan Baptist Church in their communion service. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Sims Rev. Dr. Lawson delivered the chapel service in the day. The Silver leaf quatet sang. they will be with us during the coming week. WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH --- During the day, there were four additions to the church. Offering presented to $233.00 Rush Memorial Church "Walking With God", Geneva 5122 "And Enoch walked with God" was the subject on which Rev. D. A. Lewis preached last Sunday morning at the eleventh service of great emphasis was laid on the God that walk with God, one must be pure in heart; his conduct must be such that God will be pleased with him. Every Christian, every man or woman professing to have the love of God, must live a straightforward life. There is no difference made by our Heavenly Father in His requisites for deportment of His children. In the evening, Rev. John A. Matthews preached on the subject, "Reading Of The Spirit" Romans 8:1. Bishop L. P. W. Jones will be the preacher at the 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. services next Sunday, Rev. Dr. Carrington of New Rochelle will deliver the sermon at 3 o'clock for the day will be Mrs. Julia Galloway Stakesman sennop. The calling of the roll of captains and organizations will take place at 8 o'clock, next Sunday night, before termination of the Spring Rally. St. Paul Bapt.

Sunday the pastor conducted a convenent meeting at 11 a.m., and the usual meeting by the Missionary in the afternoon. At 8 p.m. the pastor preached a short armon on, "Hallin In God's Providence." The Lord's Supper was administered to a good sized house, although the weather was against attendance. A celebration of the church comes around the church will, very likely, be in a position to say that work on the new edifice is under way. The people who heard the statements of the pastor Sunday were very happy to work forward to the coming Sunday with anticipation of great things. St. James Pres.

First Emmanuel Church At the 11 o'clock services Sunday Pastor Balden preached from the text: "Love us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our d'earls as we forgive our dehors." St Matthew 12:12 ("Daily Bread and Forgiveness"). Pastor Balden said When a believer realizes the truth that they are children of the Heavenly Father and that they are mentally in His Kingdom and are living in living in obedience to His Will, they are children of the Father for their daily bread from Him. This attitude of mind is in accordance with the revealed care and attention that the Father Josephov God showed to the children of Jargal when they were in the wilderness and they were daily fed by Jesus. Bewegus we live in such a highly organized, civilized country, the people do not realize the importance of this prayer thought, for their food supply is thrust upon them. Want, need, and the awfulness of faith has never been met by them. But there is a world where who have had all of these experiences. And ever long it may show itself in a devastating way on a large scale in this country. Therefore it is just as necessary obeying this element of prayer though a mind other than the model prayer. The benevolence as is seen in air, sunlight, heat radiation and the natural element from which food supplies come should command the attention of to realize that the universal eternal mind is our object in Jesus Christ, the Empowered, is the giver. Since He is the giver we should bear no ill will to our fellowman and that we may only expect forgiveness in proportion to our trusted prayer thought to the bread life.

Starting the season with Captain Dobbs and Crawford from last season's squad and later joined by A. Brown and Nelson Archer, varsity men of 1927, and L Traylor of 1926 varsity. The team, with the addition of new blood quickly rounded up into form and won eight straight games. Then with Captain Dobbs out of the game on account of sickness and Traylor, with a strained arm, Hand the reserves played wonderful hall, losing two games by a six point margin to Clark University, 1927 City and Southern Champions, and a two point margin game to Morris Brown University, twice conquerors this season, of Clark University. The prospect for a championship team next season is very bright, as every member on the squad will be back next year, with a year's experience both at home and abroad. And chafing at the bit to avenge close defeats this season. The outstanding players for the season, were Sapp and Crawford, the guards. Their ability is attested by the fact that only on four occasions during the year, have opposing teams been able to score on less points, including shots from the free-throw line. N. Archer, L. Archer, P. A. E. Johnson and A. Brown did yomen work during the season and with the experience gained this year, should prove Tartars to any team in the country next year.

The Tigers have layed away their uniforms for the season so far as inter-collegiate competition is concerned and are giving their attention to baseball and track.

O. O. F., assisted by Mrs. Grace Dunlap Sevier, pianist and accompanist, and David Hunt, conductor. Who came from Chicago and a baritone soloist in the st. st. Mark's M. E. C. Ennure, employed a voice of congreseque power and range, with some resonance. It is an organ of pleasing quality, and there is evidence in concert of his mastery. But the singer has not yet tolerated the ingrights. In singing a group of German Louis, Booming "Stil wie die naecht," of Summermann "I felt grote meent," of artists' interpretation was good, and of the English groups in some of the English groups the singer was not so happy. In a group of Spirituals—"Are you ready (Stwart), 'Swing low, sweet charm (Keddick)」and 'Somebody's Snatching at your door' (Delt)—the artist is asked to be simple and unattractive, and in a group of art songs by Dulley Buck, Hawley and Dennore, the animation was almost unmimetic except in spots. The opening number was the "Little Prince" by Corbyn. M. Lewis does not seem to have much flexibility in total production, and this petition may account for the lack of clarity in some of his utterances. Pleasing in mime shading and manues the tortoises are not so attractive. The singer a song greater reception. Mrs. Severi, who is addition to her duties as accompanist played a piano group, gave the Sühnlein, 'Romance' and Rachmanninhoeil, 'Polichinelle' in a manner that pleased the musicians in a manner that诱惑 them than affection. She has simple technique, temperament and intelligence, and in attractive percussion. David Auld, the violinist, played two groups, displaying fine bowing and fingering agility, but giving a test that was thin and tenous. It is just possible that Mr. Auld's instrumentation not for presentation, but for geranium he gives evidence of being well prepared, mentally and physically, for the task of interpreting his music. He played 'On wings of seas' (Mendelssohn), 'Lieberferbue' and 'Caprice Viennois' (Kreisler), and the Dames, Taeganes, No. 1 (Neuchatel). The ushers were Miedesams B. Schmidt, Robert Carpenter and W. Davis Smith Drs. Maxwell E. Sevier and Shirley Laurie.

The program offered several new features. One was the reverting to the old-time "barber-shop close harmony" (that is, a harmonic structure which was originated by groups of untrained musical majors who improvised, unusual minor strains through their ability to "harmonize" by ear), which was evidenced when the male section of the choir sang "Oh, Mary, don't you weep", and was the arranging of Handy's "No Louis Blues" for ensemble performance. Another attractive element was the excellence of the entire program, which included Spirituals, secular and work songs and ballads, by the entire mixed chor, and a group of Spirituals arranged for male voices, the choral arrangements were written especially for the choir by Mr. Johnson, and there were many moments during the evening when the large, and appreciative audience, mostly of whites, was thrilled and entranced by the splendid singing of the choir. Mr. Johnson directs, without the use of a baton, but his hands and fingers move with electric energy, seemed to enthuse his singers through every phase of emotional impulse. The long program was by no means sufficient to satisfy the listeners. Many of the programmed numbers had to be repeated, and in addition there were some nine added which included a double repetition of "Swing low, sweet chariot," which was sung after the first group, and then given again as the final number, after repeated and insistent demands from the audience, which simply would not leave the hall. Hall Waters, a young woman pianist from Washington, who studied at Howard University, was the accompanist. The choir roster is as follows: 1 Soprano - Gentile De Vereyn, Maggie Carter, Helen Brown, Matic Harris and Marguerite Avery, Contratillo, P. Mays, Robbie Gillman, Viola Simmons, Tenors - Leslie Coles, Robert Anton, Tennors - Leslie Simmons and Robert Porter. Baritones and Bassos - W.

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES By JAMES H. HOGANB WHICH IS IT? It from the headquarters on the last week, which was published, a vote would be taken and a go on strike, indicates leaders of the Brotherhood generally, from a situation which these leaders are playing thousands of these employees, fair with the porters. But that this column has new boganda which has been waged by Brotherhood leaders, believable conditions of the port column has never questioned these leaders. The column is ennouncement, if carried out, as both the honesty and action within their own hearts, which voted for a strike, and it would not help to create it. It would not produce an emergency condition would be difficult to see how a port on the railroad service of the railroad porters may be better working condition and that for them obtaining these the counsel them to stage an event that even those Negro Labor Conference this fall, allowing the unemployment situation, so it is announced, not likely that the majority of the affirmative. Still, the threats to us as though the Brotherhood porters, or should be known, that they have its reaction. If they porters and not trying to station, they never would have. The leaders know full walkout is merely a campaign ludicrous. Brotherhood leaders are trying Pullman porters similar to the I. R. T. in this action gives that interpreta- people, the Pullman manager in a few instances, who Sleeping Car Porters. So expose their membership card balloting is talked, it would management assume an adjustment. Did, "Lord, deliver me from fearful, or before this thing? BUCKS, The Martyr for memorializing that inmate passed we feel that the fol- The announcement from the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters last week, which was published in most of the daily newspapers, that a vote would be taken among the porters as to whether they should go on strike, indicates clearly one of two things: either the leaders of the Brotherhood desire to retire expeditiously, if not gracefully, from a situation which they have created among the porters, or these leaders are playing fast and loose with the jobs of several thousands of these employees. In other words, the leaders are not playing fair with the porters. In spite of the fact that this column has never been in sympathy with the type of propoganda which has been waged against the Pullman Company by the Brotherhood leaders, believing that this method of aiding the industrial conditions of the porters was abortive, to say the least, yet the column has never questioned the sincerity or the intelligence of these leaders. The column is loath to do so now. But this latest announcement, if carried out, as proposed, will cause to question seriously both the honesty and acumen of these men. These leaders know within their own hearts that even if 100 percent of the membership voted for a strike, and this vote resulted in the calling of a strike, it would not help to create the conditions which the Brotherhood desires. It would not produce an emergency situation which would come under the Watson-Parker Act. For this law to function, a situation must develop in the railroad service in which food stuffs and other necessities of life are held up in transit. The fact that Pullman cars are not used in the transportation of these things obviates any situation which might be legally construed as being a violation of this law. If the porters were backed by the Brotherhoods of railway conductors, engineers and trainmen, and they went out in sympathy with the porters, then an emergency condition would be created. As this will not occur, it is difficult to see how a porters strike will bring about an emergency in the railroad service of the country. No matter how justified the porters may be in their desire for better wages and better working condition and no matter how general the sympathy, is for them obtaining these things, no one, unless he is an idiot, would counsel them to stage a walkout at this time. We can hardly believe that even those-Negro speakers who talked strike at the Negro Labor Conference this fall, would seriously adhere such a course knowing the unemployment situation as they must. Of course, the decision, so it is announced, is up to the porters themselves, and it is not likely that the majority of them will be foolish enough to vote in the affirmative. Still, the threat of a strike is bad, and that is why it seems to us as though the Brotherhood leaders are not playing fair with the porters. These leaders know, or should know, that the spreading of such propaganda is bound to have its reaction. If they were really in earnest about helping the porters and not trying to extricate themselves from an awkward situation, they never would have suggested any such thing as a strike vote. The leaders know full well that balloting among the porters for a walkout is merely a camouflage, so obviously so, that, in a way, it is ludicrous. Seemingly, the Brotherhood leaders are trying to bring about a condition among the Pullman porters similar to that which existed among the employees of the I. R. T. in this city. If that is not their intention their recent action gives that interpretation anyway. Unlike the I. R. T. people, the Pullman management has not bothered those porters, only in a few instances, who have become members of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Some of these members have been known to expose their membership card to Pullman officials. But now that a strike balloting is talked, it would not be at all surprising to see the Pullman management assume an attitude similar to that of the I. R. T. management. Some wit once said, "Lord, deliver me from my friends!" The porters need to be careful, or before this thing is over they will be uttering the same cry. Crispus Attucks, The Martyred Soldier Crispus Attucks, The Martyred Soldier Although the date for memorializing that immortal black American Crispus Attucks, has passed we feel that the following memorial deserves publication: CRISPUS ATTUCKS. THE MARTYRED SOLDIER BY LOUIS WHITE h ago the nation paid their interpid valor of Crispus of the American people to the shores of this Republic. Negro Year, Book of 1912 of the Negro fighters Marcos of the War of Independence the first martyr in the Bostons. Samuel Lawrence, a pro patts, led a company of Negro Peter Salem, who at the b Loss than a month ago the nation paid their homage to Lincoln and Douglas day. The intrepid valor of Crispus Attucks has an equal claim on the gratitude of the American people for daring to repulse a foreign enemy from the shores of this Republic. Quoting from the Negro Year, Book of 1917 the author has this day of the bravery of the Negro fighters March 5, 1770: "Some of the most heroic deeds of the War of Independence were performed by the black men. The first martyr in the Boston Massacre was the Negro, Crispus Attucks. Samuel Lawrence, a prominent white citizen, of Groton, Massachusetts, led a company of Negroes at the battle of Punker Hill. It was the Negro, Peter Salem, who at the battle of Bunker Hill, fired the shot that mortally wounded Major Piteau. We cannot self-satisfy appropriately him. The blow he struck was in defense of all races on this continent, and those races will share with us the rich heritage he left us in his struggle to protect the rights of his countrymen. In celebrating the death of this renowned character we forget races and nationalities, and invite all mankind to unite in paying homage to one who fired and aroused the patriotism of the continental army to defend their homes against a foreign foe. We want our children to know that when the first gun was fired for the freedom of the American Colonies a member of their race shed the first blood and was the first in the struggle for freedom to lay down his life upon the altar of his country as a sacrifice to the people of this western hemisphere, the fruits of which we are enjoying today." News From Penn Terminal District News From Penn Terminal District W.

Randolph Outlines Probable Action By Pullman Brotherhood Randolph Outlines Probable Action By Pullman Brotherhood According to A. Philip Randolph general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Cat Porters, the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission, that it has no Jurisdiction over the Pullman Porters' case has only stirred and aroused a flaming determination on the part of the porters to fight to the finish. The answer of hundreds of porters who are reported as filling into the various division offices in all parts of the country, is the paying of a special levy and their due to redouble their activities and consolidate their forces for a complete show-down. Randolph points out that the dissenting opinion of three commissioners' Eastman Lewis and Alitchison shows that there is grave doubt as to the tenability, soundness and legality of the decision. Henry T. Hunt, counsel for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, indicates probability of calling for a reopening of the case. The present program of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, an organizer, is to proceed with the creation of an emergency as provided by the Railway Labor Act. This will require the appointment of an emergency board by the President of the United States, whose duty it shall be to investigate the Pullman Company and the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters with a view to avoiding an interruption of Interstate Commerce.
