RIENZI B. LEMUS Washington, D. C.—"Bye-bye, Blackbird," will be the feature song of the Republican National Convention at Kansas City in June according to all present indications. Long has a rumor persisted that Negroes closest to Secretary Hoover have been persuaded that the best thing to do is to get Hoover nominated, after which all things else shall be added. And right now it's all Hoover for Republican Presidential nominee. The Northern Negro can vote. He doesn't figure so greatly in national conventions, nevertheless, and generally, a Republican National Convention's nominee, like the winner of a southern Democratic primary, is as good as elected. It is in the Republican convention that the Negro—but from the South—is formidable. In two weeks, though most affairly dissatisfies there are Negro National Republican Committees, and it upon these two, National Committees that the Hooverites are centering their artillery of destruction. Additionally, they are using the same tactics to the White Collar Survival of Customs, at New Orleans, in booths. the motivating reason for selecting "jimcrow" Kansas City as convention town was to facilitate elimination of the potent African National Convention's nominee, like the winner of a southern Democratic primary, is as good as elected. It is in the Republican convention that the Negro—but from the South—is formidable. In two weeks, though most affairly dissatisfies there are Negro National Republican Committees, and it upon these two, National Committees that the Hooverites are centering their artillery of destruction. Additionally, they are using the same tactics to the White Collar Survival of Customs, at New Orleans, in booths. Secretary Hoover, however, pling right along secretary at the Department of Commerce, and re-organizes the organization that executes segregation in his Department, but pursues to in Fighting Perry Howard. The National Committeeman, *Is Mississippi is Perry W. Howard*. Mr. Howard also is a special assistant to the U. S. Attorney General, and has been for seven years. There has been no question whatsoever in respect to Mr. Howard's leadership of Mississippi Republicans. I times been taken for granted. A few years ago former Governor Sheldon of Nebraska moved to the state and became a planter. Recently he openly became leader of the lily whites. and was a strong supporter of his inten-t to make Mississippi Republicans lily-wise. to destroy Howard. Howard, however, controlled, but only as ALL political bosses must control to survive. Unable to beat Howard in the political arena, Sheldon grabs the Mississippi courts—after his effort in Federal Court had been laughed out of it. So he got a temporary order even restraining Howard's regular organization from breaching as Republican in the Supreme Court. The judge, Maniesburg, who made the injunction permanent, when the argument on it was concluded. Now the case is before the Supreme Court, taken here by Howard, et al., before Judge Jude Luger's ludicrous decree. A Dangerous Precedent. the regular organization's attorney is former Supreme Court Justice Steven, who is law partner in Calvin Wells, chairman of the Democratic State Committee. In supporting Mr. Howard, Steven and his wife are persistent president of the South is being based by the court action which interfered with the call of the Republican National Committee. "For, said he, 'if eleven white men, sheldon's fireboots can be in the Republican party in this fashion, the eleven Negroes can enjoin the Democrat party under the law." So persistent is the belief that Secretary Hoover acquires in these persistent and illusive lilywife movements that the Howard organization openly talks of swinging the twelve delegates to the convention the National Committeeman and State Chairman Howard pledged Mr. Hoover in February. Even Mr. Howard calls upon Mr. Hoover to repudiate the "hilies"—thus far in him, and does not deny his belief that Hoover's friends are financing the move to out his regular organization at New Orleans with L. O. Goody, rich lumberman and Democrat, who fell in love with Hoover during flood relief times, to talk about harmony. At the end of this conference Howard made it more apparent to the organization that Grace was the post of National Committeeman, Howard's post, for Crogsby.

And when it is recalled that the two most recent public pronouncements for Hoover came from Secretary of the Interior Work, most recent departmental segregatist, and Slemp of Virginia, original lilywhite, though most affably working as Secretary to President Coolidge, Mr. Howard's wigging and the wisecases, prognostications are obviously well grounded. Secretary Hoover, however, plugs right along secretarying at the Department of Commerce, and recently sold-paid Thomas that he was encouraged to segregate in his investigation into his bureau when his Bureau of the Census was named as the place, and is keeping the promise. SOUTHERN WHITE CHURCHWOMEN HEAR DR. MOTON Closer Contact Of The Races Brings Problem Of Living Together Nashville, Tenn.—"The big business of our generation is how to live together in the closer contacts that have developed in these later days," declared Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, in an address on Thursday evening, March 15, before the Woman's Missionary Council of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which held its fifteenth anniversary meeting here. This is the first time a Negro has addressed this body of southern churchwomen. "Here is a great and practical task for everyone or us," Dr. Moxton said. "We Christians ought to try to get into the thinking of both races that neither of them prefers, ideals or noble tradition on the one hand, or of freedom, opportunity or good will on the other, in doing our utmost to see that every man in the South, black and white, has an equal chance to work, to train himself for it, to be a good citizen, to serve in the courts and to bear the responsibilities of citizenship. "I believe that the greatest service that anybody can ever render the South is to convince both races that the cooperation of black and white is essential to the success of their possibilities of our section will do more for the advancement of the best interests not only of this section, but of the whole nation, than all the prejudice, segregation and all the discrimination that has ever been devised. The result is that more and more alike should do more than justify any effort and sacrifice that might be involved."

NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1928 HARLEM POLICE RISK LIVES ARREST HOLDUP GANG AFTER SHOOTING AT THE NEST CLUB Four Men and A Woman Alleged To Have Terrorized Harlem For Three Weeks Taken After Fight With Police Four men and a woman, alleged to be responsible for at least five robberies in Harlem during the past three weeks, were arrested early Wednesday morning at the police station in Paterson, NJ. J Mahoney and John A. Johnson of the 16th Precinct. The arrest followed a disturbance in the club, during which George Burns, a white man of 128 East 12th street, was wounded, and the manager, William R. Judge, Assistant Attorney, was struck over the head with the butt of a revolver. Leroy Roberts, assistant manager, was also struck with the butt of a revolver and one of the bullets narrowly missed striking the mouth of his clairnet, which was standing by his side. Doorman Calls Cop The policemen were standing at the corner of 133rd street and Seventh avenue when they were attracted by the signal of the doorman at the Newt. He informed of the disturbance inside. As the police entered the cabaret, Van Harris, 22 years of age, of 124 West 135th street, stuck a revolver in the pit of, Pogtrolman's stench. Both policemen grappled with him, and were overpowering him. He threw the pistol in the cloakroom nearby. NEGRO POALITICAL I WITH ATTEMP POSTMASTI NEGRO POALITICAL LEADER CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTING TO SELL POSTMASTERSHIP AT MEMPHIS Telegram to The New York Age Washington, D. C.—A political day when G H. Poole, a white charge that Robert R. Church, nat offered to sell Poole the postmaster of $230.00 Washington, D. C.—A political bomb was exploded here Wednesday when G H. Poole, a white man of Memphis, Tenn., made the charge that Robert R. Church, nationally known Republican politician, offered to sell Poole the postmastership of Memphis for a consideration of $2,400 in an affidavit filed with Postmaster General New by I. J Harwood, Republican leader of Western Tennessee. The Postmaster General immediately forwarded the charges to Attorney General Sargent with a request for action. No one here or elsewhere, who knows Mr Church, believes for an instant that the sensational charges will be found to be of the least merit or will be in any way substantiated by the Department of Justice investigation, which Mr. Church, himself, most urgently demands. The Church candidate for the $8,000 postmastership at Memphis was nominated by President Coolidge nearly a year ago. The nomination was only recently withdrawn after the Senate either refused or threatened to refuse confirmation. WHAT REV. R. M. BOLDEN SAID In quoting the language used by the Rev. Richard Manuel Bolden with regard to the fight being made by Alderman Fred R. Moore for Negro leadership in the Republican Party of the 19th A. D., his words were tempered somewhat out of consideration to the minister. Instead of saying, as quoted, "Does Fred Moore think I am a fool?" he really said: "Fred Moore is a fool if he thinks I am going to help him fight these white folks." Since then, Rev. Bolden's attitude indicates that he prefers the leadership of Assentblyman Abraham Grenthal, a white man, to that of any Negro who might be suggested. With reference to Bolden's assertion that Mr. Moore asked him to come to The Age office for a conference before accepting the designation for nomination as delegate to the National Republican Convention, Mr. Moore has reiterated his former statement that he did no such thing. What he did say to Bolden, in informing him of his selection by Grenthal for the delegate-ship, was: "I would suggest to you that you say: 'I will take it under advisement,' pending conferences with other Negro leaders or friends." In the meantime, the Rev. Bolden has notified The Age that he will discontinue the publication of his church news and the selling of from thirty to forty copies of the paper each week. And at the same time, Assemblyman Abraham Grenthal maims what he probably intends to be a "contemptuous silence" with regard to the charges that he had ordered the cutting of the regular Republican ticket in the lower election districts in favor of himself and Masterson, a Democrat as against Fred R. Moore, Grenthal," associate on the regular Republican ticket. During the scuffle, Patrolman Johnson noticed another man, who proved to be Arthur Bennett, 25 years of age, of 322 West 145th street, standing by the cash register with a gun in his hand. Because of the crowd, neither the policeman nor Bennett could get away with the Officer. Johnson made a lunge for Bennett and succeeded in knocking the pistol from his hand. He, too, was soon overpowered. Gun Shooter Pointed Out George Davis, 28, of 269 West 100th street, was pointed out to the policemen by the manager as the man who had fired the shots. A gun was found, in his possession with three empty cartridges. After the three prisoners had been brought to the police station, they informed on Gladys Bennett, 20 years old, and Mack Brown, 28, as members of their gang which came here three weeks ago from Youngtown, O. All five prisoners were arraigned before Magistrate McQuade in the Heights Court and held without bail on charges of assault and robbery and violating the Sullivan law. They were identified by five victims, including a jacquie driver, as having held them up at the point of a revolver, robbing them of varying sums of cash and jewelry.

Florida Woman Gets $3,250 Verdict In Suit Against R. R Jacksonville, Fl.,—Early last year, Mrs. L. R. McKay, of this city, instituted suit against the Florida, East Coast Railway, company for damages as compensation for certain personal injury suits; she was on a light thru-through pass on the Company's train from Jacksonville to Manhattan Beach. While attempting to get off the train at Manhattan Beach, it started with a sudden jerk before she came to a slight throttle through her violently on a picnic bench, attending a picnic given by Mr. Zion A. M. E. Church at the time of the accident. The case was tried, in the Current Court of Duval County, Florida, in a jury trial against a justice of the Supreme Court, Florida, sent here by the governor, presided in the case. Shortly after the case was given to the jury with instructions from the Court, the jury rendered its verdict in the plaintiff in the sum of $2,200. Mrs. McKay was represented by S. D. McGill, attorney of Jacksonville, while the defendant railroad company was represented by Robert H. Anderson, its chief counsel, and the verdict endured. defendant's counsel in the trial would be taken in the case and that the judgment thus obtained would be paid within two days.

Thomas Fortune III T. Thomas Fortune, veteran journalist, now editor of The Negro World, is seriously ill at the home of Mr. and: Mrs. Harry Leon d. 110-West 139th street, near Lenox avenue. Mr. Fortune is under the professional care of Dr. Paul A. Collins Believes In Absolute Fair Play To All And Is Always To Be Seen For Conference Or Advice By Subordinates; Against Discrimination One of the outstanding conditions in the present administration of school affairs in New York City is the attitude of the superintendent of schools, Dr. William J. O'Shea. He believes in and carries out the idea of absolute fair dealings toward all in the system, and in giving every one an equal opportunity. This is emphasized by the fact that the door of his office is open at all times to all of his subordinates, and any of them can see him in person for conference and consultation on all matters of interest to them, and Dr. O'Shea is against discrimination of any sort in the public school system. Superintendent O'Shea's career is full of interesting points, and one of great interest is that he is now in charge of the particular educational field in which he received his training. He was electe to his present position by the Board of Education having his seat May 1, 1924, and his term runs until April 30, 1930. France, and War Savings and Thrift Stamps. The uniting zeal and accomplishment of the schools in the war work has been recognized throughout the country. Among many letters of appreciation received were those from the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Secretary of War. Dr. O'Shea received also the decoration of the Knight of the Order of Leopold from the King of Belgium, and was made a member of the Legion of Honor in Paris. Dr. O'Shea has lectured considerably on education and in the author of a work on astrophysics and of a series of text books on He brought to the work a broad educational experience and proved ability, having served in the New York schools as teacher, principal, district superintendent and associate superintendent. Attended New York Schools. Dr. O'Shea: began his education at Public School 2, Manhattan, and completed his preliminary training at the college of the City of New York, where he postgraduate work at Manhattan College, St. Francis Xavier College, the Catholic University, New York University, Columbia University, and Fordham University. He has received the degrees of M. A. from St. Francis Xavier, and L.L.D. from Columbia University. Dr. O'Shea began his educational career as a teacher in Public School 75, Manhattan, and later became principal of that school. He subsequently organized Public School, 171, Manhattan. Elected district superintendent in 1906, he served in the Borough of Manhattan and for a short time in Brooklyn. In 1918, Dr. O'Shea was promoted to the position of associate superintendent. He was then in charge of the elementary schools in Manhattan, and had the imminent appointment, nomination and transfer of principal teachers and of passing upon applications, for leave of absence. During the period of the war and since the war ended, Dr. O'Shea had charge of all war action she had taken. The first of these was the Wake-Up-America' parade, in which 30,000 children participated. It had the effect of arousing, at a time when it was most needed, the latent patronism of adult New York principals and traders settled over lionion and a quarter iron and women for the state census and throughout the war rendered great help to the Local Exemption and the Legal Advisory Boards in filling out the questionnaire of traffers and solders. He organized a campaign, in which he had the hearty cooperation of district superintendents and principals, for the purpose of collecting funds to supply the American soldiers and sailors over the needed comfort. In this campaign nearly $780,000 was obtained. Directed Liberty Loan Drives. To him fell also the great task of directing the Liberty Loan Drives in the schools Under his leadership and through the efforts of district superintendents, principalums of the immense sum of $199,172,50 was subscribed through the public schools, in the five drives. He also directed many other campaigns and drives in the schools. For example, the drives Red Cross, Red Crescent, the Junior Red Cross, the Disabled and the Senior Divers, the collection of garments for the French and Belgian Homeless, the Near East Relief, the Serbian Relief, America's Gift to NOTICE! CORRESPONDENTS Please have your news items in be Tuesday morning of each week in the office later than Tuesday, will appear in the following week's issue. Thrift Stamps. The untiring zeal and accomplishment of the school and worker has been recognized throughout the country. Among many letters of appreciation received were those from the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Secretary of War. Dr. O'Shea received also the decoration of the Knight of the Order of Leopold from the King of Belgium, and was made a member of the Legion of Honor in France. Dr. O'Shea has lectured considerably on education and in the author of a work on astronomy and of a series of text books on English. Realizing the necessity of religious instruction for children he has been an active member of committees and associations, which have been used as a system for imparting useful instruction which will be in harmony with the fundamental principles of our government. Headed Educational Bodies! He has been president of several educational associations, among them the Principals Association of the Association of Dutch Superintendent Schools, some time before the first vice-president of the New York State Teachers Association. In 1907 and in 1916 he was chairman of the membership committee of the National Education Association. During the year 1916 13,000 associate and active members were registered, a number of which were not acquired it was largely through its efforts that the first Teachers' Pension Bill became a law. Dr. O'Shea has always been keenly interested in adapting the course of study to local needs and the abilities of pupils, in making special provision for physically disabled and in the upbringing of character as the supreme aim of education. He believes that leaders in civil affairs must look to the future and try to forecast the needs of years to come. They must plan and improve the conditions under which children of the future must live. They must work on many vital problems such as the improvement of transit, housing, water supply, public health, and accident prevention, the successful solution of which requires generous financing, and honest execution. But the problem presented by the educational system, both in magnitude and importance, are greater than all these, for unless our children are taught to assemble full responsibility of their future citizenship, and the labor expended upon these material improvements will have been spent in vain. Problems of the Future. Although the problems presented by the future of our city are numerous and important, Dr. O'Shea has said repeatedly that the most vital one of all is the determination of the character of the city. The solution is ours. He realizes that the conditions to be met are of unprecedented difficulty, for never has there been a metropolis with such a mixed and unassimilated population, but he is convinced that these problems can be solved. He suggests that coming to our schools have no family traditions with reference to the ideals of self-government which we are trying to perpetuate. One great task of the schools is to develop these ideals in acquaint the pupils with the areas and the functions of our social institutions, and thereby train the children for wholesome living in a democracy and for proper participation in the social duties which they must eventually assume. Only through the most energetic and firm effort that the educational system provides, is it able to transmit to posterity the blessings of liberty which we, ourselves, enjoy. But such difficulties are also a measure of our opportunity to render exceptional service. Saturday, March 31, 1928 Election Of Addition Problem That Will By A. M. E. Zion G Strong Probability That Elected Despite Opinion ed-Bishop Wallace Fa When the A. M. E. opens its quadrennial sess May, next, one of the buswered by judicial action two bishops to fill vacancies of the late Bishops G. L. Lee?" Election Of Additional Bishops Is Problem That Will Have To Be Met By A.M.E. Zion General Conference Strong Probability That 2 New Prelates Are Elected Despite Opinion They Are Not Needed-Bishop Wallace Favors Dr. J. W. Brown When the A. M. E. Zion general conference opens its quadrennial session in St. Louis, Mo., in May, next, one of the burning questions to be answered by judicial action will be: "Shall we elect two bishops to fill vacancies occasioned by the deaths of the late Bishops G. L. Blackwell and William L. Lee?" While there is considerable element in the connection holding the opinion that the church does not need additional prelates, it is practically a togne conclusion that the election will be held and that the Bishops' Council for the next four years will consist of twelve men and not ten. It is pointed out that at the last general conference, in 1924, it was recommended by the Bishops' Council that three bishops be elected although there were four vacancies caused by death during the preceding four years, but so numerous were the candidates, and so potential the strength many of them developed, that before the balloting was over five bishops had been elected. One reason for this, that two if the bishops were practically unappointed by all health—both of whom died during this last quadrenium—and were not physically able to perform all the duties attaching to their offices. So it became necessary to elect the two additional bishops, or so it was argued, that the work of the church might be capably taken care of without putting too much burden upon the men who were in good health. The districts were reapportioned into ten major districts, therefore, with two minor districts of just two or two small conferences, the latter being assigned to the two ailing men—Blackwell and Lee—while the other ten were given full size territories. These we contend that there is no need for additional bishops are now arguing that the small conferences in these two districts might could be allotted to the other ten districts upon any one bishop. On the other hand, it is averred by them who favor twelve bishops that the growth of the church demands the full corps. That weak districts may be given the attention needed to build them up. A questioning of various of the bishops indicates that they are included in the matter. The action of the general conference in 1924 in electing five instead of three bishops, as recommended by the Council, is said to be partly responsible for this attitude. It is pointed out that candidates are elected to the bishops at the forthcoming general conference, might site that action as establishing precedent, and might, at the same time, impugn the motives of the bishops who were put into office four years ago, if they added additional prelates There are candidates from all parts, some of them men of powerful influence and capacity, and all of them men who declare that their past service to the church entitles them to this reward. The question of their real merit is one that will have to be thrashed out in the incarceration session, say those in connection familiar with the issues. It is pointed out, at the same time, that some of the claims up by candidates are fallacious and will not bear close inspection. For instance, it is reported that one candidate has incorporated in the appeal to support the claim that he has advanced "UNUSUAL O To Become a Stockholder in The BRACKEN FU 45-47 WEST 125th STRE 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 seen to such large proportions it is deemed advisable to increase its capital to provide funds for expanding business.

Many Candidates $ 27 $ money in liberal sums for support of the church's work, and that at times when financial help was not available from other sources. But his opponents are charging that while he might have advanced money to the church, it was always on a basis that netted him a substantial financial profit; that for his money advances he exacted from twenty-five to fifty percent interest. Other candidates making claim for preferment are finding similar obstacles in their way. Another candidate who claims long years of service to the church is referred to as having given up the active ministry for the practice of another profession, giving as a reason that the pastorate did not afford a sufficient income, and the assertion is made that his ambition is to retire from the practice of his present profession into the bishopric for a few years of activity that probably remain to him. Bishop Wallace Talks. Scores of other claims for recognition are answered by scores of objections on part of their opponents, and it is in the general conference that the question will finally be settled Bishop P. A. Wallace of Brooklyn, who was elected to the prelacy in 1920, and who has developed into one of the most influential and clear thinking men in the church, in a talk with The Age, declared that the forthcoming general conference will have some pretty problems to solve. One, he said, will be the shaping of the episcopal sees, in case the vacancies in the Council are filled by the election of two more bishops. For, said he, in that case there will be twelve healthy, strong heads of the church, in comparison with ten men four years ago, and this will mean that each one must be given a district that is in consonance with his physical abilities This will possibly precipitate some scheming and wire-pulling, for the bishops now heading large and prosperous conferences will hardly want to see these conferences given to some other younger bishop. There is always some heart-burnings over this matter of being placed, said he, which is, of course, only natural. The salary paid to the bishop who supervises the smallest district in the connection is the same as that paid any other bishop, but the small and poor conferences making up the small districts are unable to augment the bishop's salary by testimonials, contributions or in any other wise, as is the case with the larger and more prosperous conferences. In connection with this condition, said Bishop Wallace, there is the possibility that a division of the present Philadelphia-Baltimore Conference will be suggested. Favor Dr. J. W Brown. This conference embraces the Zion churches in New York, birthplace of the church, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, and is one of the wealthiest and strongest in the connection, now presided over by Bishop J. S. Caldwell. The bishop was asked as to the policy of assigning bishops in the order of seniority. This, he said, had been done in the past, but of late years there has been a steady and insistent demand by some of the younger ambitious prelates for the ignoring of this custom. There seems to be a feeling among these men that their election to the bishopric indicates superior and more virile qualities and entitles them to precedence, regardless of the older men. At any rate, they strive for assignments to the richer and more influential districts as a right to which they are entitled. As to the candidates now seeking the high office. Bishop Wallace declared emphatically and unequivocally that, in case an election is held, he favors the Rev. James Walter Brown—present pastor of Mother A. M. E.

Tabloid Press Attacked In Interracial Debate The tabloid press of the country came in for some hard knocks at an inter-racial debate between teams representing Harlem fraternities and Columbia University at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church Friday evening, March 23. The debate was held under auspices of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and a large audience cheered the debaters. The subject was, "Resolved: That the press exerts a corrupting influence on American life." Columbia University, represented by Afwald Vischi, William Matthew and Byral Levy, had the affirmative side or the question. It was maintained by these speakers that the press of the country, especially the tabloid newspapers, capitalize and emphasize the sensational elements in the happenings, of the day and thus present a distorted view of incidents as they occur. The Evening Graphic and Daily Mirror of New York were mentioned as examples of this type of newspaper. It was also contended by the affirmative speakers that the press is a slave to politics and controlled by partisanship. The negative side of the question was represented by A Maceo Smith of Alpha Phi Alpha, George W Goodman of Omega Phi Phi, and Eugene Corbie of Kappa Alpha Psi. The negative speakers contended that the press of the country is a public utility and render a public service. Like the theatre, the press prosperbs on catering to the whims of the reading public but unlike the theatre is severely penalized when it goes beyond the bounds of good taste in presenting the happenings of the day. Numérique examples of the service the press genders in exposing corruption, etc., were cited. It was conceded that the press is a human institution, and is therefore imperfect but that the good it does far outweighs the bad. There were no judges and all the speakers were roundly applauded for the eloquent manner in which they presented their subject. Dr Oma H Price was chairman and Harcourt A Tynes and Janis Egert Allen the tokeepers Memorial Service Monday For Late H. A. Howell In memory of the late H. Adolph Howell, memorial services will be held in the chapel of the H. Adolph Howell Funeral Church, 137th street and Seventh avenue on Monday evening, April 2 at 8 o'clock. The services will be in charge of a committee headed by Dr Hansen. Mr Howell, for many years, was one of the leading figures of his race in this country, having been at one time a formidable candidate for grand exalted ruler of the Elks and a Republican candidate for the Legislature. He was treasurer of a score of fraternal organizations at various times during his busy career, and was one of the most substantial financial supporters of many church and public institutions. He was vice president of the Association of Trade and Commerce at the time of his death. All civic, fraternal and religious organizations are invited to send representatives James A. Allen is secretary of the committee "I drive a car for hire," says Mr. Ike Sabel, of Gadsen, Ala., "and have to get up and go, early and late. Consequently I can't have regular hours for eating and sleeping. I occasionally have indigestion and find it necessary to take a laxative. I had heard of Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT Purely Vegetable for a long time. The drugist told me Black-Draught would help me. I bought a package and had it made into tea and take it any time I feel the need of a laxative. It always helps me. I have much better appetite after I take Black-Draught. I can eat about everything I want and feel full of pop. I would not be without it for double the price." Black-Draught can be taken dry or made into a tea, as you prefer.

Philip Randolph, General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, a nationwide strike vote was started on March 27. Strike ballots will be issued to over 7,000 porters who are members of the Union and also to porters who are non-members, said Randolph. Efforts will be made to complete the taking of the strike vote in 15TH ANNUAL SALE 10 Piece Dining Suites - $149.00 3 Piece Davenport Suites 149.00 4 Piece Bedroom Suites - 120.00 3 Piece Fibre Suites - 59.00 3 Piece Living Room Suites 129.00 Odd Fibre Rockers - - 9.00 Come and Help Us Celebrate OUR SALES SLIPS ARE GOOD IN THE MONEY BAGS CONTEST RILEY HOGAN CO. FURNITURE FROM FACTORY TO FAMILY INC. The purpose of the strike vote is to create an emergency in accordance with the provisions of the Railway Labor Act. It is a natural and logical result of the refusal of the Pullman Company to meet the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and arbitrate the dispute when it was urged to do so by Edwin P Morrow, one of the meditators of the United States Mediation Board. Instead of complying with the recommendation of the Mediation Board, the company replied that there was nothing to arbitrate, that to the Interstate Commerce Company, Union. Whereupon the Brotherhood presented its case to the Interstate Commerce Commission, seeking to secure a ban on tips as a reward for labor, thereby depriving the company of the ability to hide behind and get the benefit of the $7,000,000 contributed by the public in tips to the porters yearly. To Cover Wide Area. The strike vote manoeuvre will extend from Florida to the Coast, says Raudolph, including big centres as Jacksonville, Atlanta, Savannah, Birmingham, New Orleans, Ft. Worth, Dallas and San Antonio, Texas, Washington, Richmond, Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Denver, Omaha, Los Angeles, 'Oakland, Portland, ete. According to Mr. Randolph, dispatches from the division headquarters of the motherhood of Sleeping Car Porter throughout the country are coming in daily, which show that the members are determined to go all the way, if necessary, with the finished fight to secure the recognition of the organization, higher wages, and better working conditions. Two and A Half Years Old The Brotherhood has been in existence two and a half years, having been organized in New York in August, 1925. Its case was first presented to the United States Mediation Board in May, 1926, and again in July, 1927, in Chicago. The demands were for $150 minimum wage. The present wage is $22.50 a month. The Union demanded the 240-hour work-month. At present porters operate on a mileage basis of 11,000, which YOU ARE INVITED TO ATTEND amounts to nearly 400 hours on work a month. While porters receive tips which amount to $58 a month, according to a survey of the Labor Bureau of New York, they are required to pay out $33 a month as an occupational expense for shoe polish to shine the passengers' shoes, food intransit and at the terminal, and lodging when quarters are not provided or undesirable, and two uniforms a year. Since the organization began, the company has placed Filipinos on some of the club cars as intimidation to the porters, but this has not daunted the porters, says the organizer. Meetings are being held all over the country in the districts, daily to execute the signing of the strikeballots. Old porters, thirty and forty years in the service are signing the ballots, and saving that time has come to make a stand. "We must sign up or shut up." Negro Educators As Consultants In Land Grant College Survey Negro Educators As Consultants In Land Grant College Survey Washington, D. C.-The Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior, has announced the personnel of a group of Negro educators to act as consultants in the Land-Grant College Survey now being consulted. Those making up the group are B. F. Hubert, president Georgia State Industrial College, Savannah, John M. Gandy, president Virginia N. & L. Institute, Ettrick, John W.

S. 136. S. R. O on Sunday afternoon for the second of the series of four free concerts by the Monarch 45 Bund under Lieut. Fred W. Simpson, showed its substantive interest in the effort to raise a community fund for the financing of free park concerts by this band during the summer by cash contributions totalling $20, and additional subscriptions to the amount of $13. The treasurer of the fund, Alden n Fred R Moore, had already deposited $1 in the special account which he has opened in the Chelsea Exchange Bank, and this carries the cash total to date to $77, with subscriptions to be paid amounting to $103.50 This is a long step from the more than $1,000 required for this fund, and it is believed that organized bodies of Harlem will show substation interest by assisting in this movement to establish the famous Monarch Band as a community organization. There are to be two more of these Sunday afternoon concerts. April 29 and May 27, from 3 to 5 clock, after which it is hoped the open-air concerts will be immediately started. Cash contributions, reported this week, to Tuesday, March 27, are as follows: $5—Walter F. Ward, Jr. Springs $2—Mrs. Elizabeth Terrell, Mist F. Rall, Mrs. Clark McMilland $1—I. Joseph H. Pinkard, A.

It should quit the policy of making empty professions of friendliness during political campaigns, followed by non-performance of its pledges after election. Finally, it should pick as candidates men who are big enough and strong enough to carry a policy of square dealing into effect. That is the only kind of candidate that is worth while tying to in this emergency. AN UNPRODUCTIVE·LEGISLA TURE. The New York State Legislature which adjourned last week was variously regarded from Republican and Democratic standpoints. The former was inclined to praise the legislators because of their opposition to any measure proposed by Governor Smith, regardless of its merit. The latter considered the killing of the Governor's measures a proof of the lack of wisdom of the legislators. The Citizens Union came nearer a fair judgment of the recent session by characterizing it as a whole as unproductive. A FOUR SQUARE REPUBLICAN. President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University has been designated as a district delegate to the Republican National Convention at Kansas City, Mo. He is well and favorably known to the voters of his district. as to the country at large. as a true and tried Republican, outspoken in his sentiments and firmly opposed to pussy-footing on any question, no matter how full of dynamite it may be. The Republican voters of his district should not lend themselves to any movement to defeat him as a delegate. Measures acted upon of vital concern to New York City included the bill for the reorganization of the municipal courts, a gradecrossing act, amendments to the water supply act, extension of the emergency rent laws and the institution of a system of central registration for voters. Even the emergency rent law extension was so framed that it may fail to give any further protection to the tenants, as the commission decided that the emergency had passed, owing to the increase of housing accommodation. The killing of the four year term for Governor, which was advocated as a Republican measure last year, was a reversal of form too sudden to be justified. What the party needs is more delegates of the calibre and the courage of Dr. Butler, to take part in choosing a candidate for the Presidency. He should be supported at the primaries by all Republicans in his district without regard to race, creed or color. Unfortunately for the good of the State, there is too much partisanship in the treatment of legislation intended for the benefit of the people at large. Many measures dealing with modernization of county government, for the relief of working men and women and other important matters were killed because of partisan bias. The new housing measure for New York City was among the measures which failed of favorable consideration. LINING UP THE DELEGATES. The preliminary work of lining up the delegates for the National conventions that are to name the presidential candidates of the two great parties has fairly started. So far Former Governor Lowden of Illinois is leading on the Republican side, while Governor Smith of New York has the largest number of delegates to the Democratic convention. Mr. Lowden's early lead does not mean that his chances for the nomination are by any means assured, as the supporters of Secretary Hoover are confident that he will soon overtake the farmers' favorite. This is all predicated on the supposition that President Coolidge is out of the race for good. The fact that such veteran politicians as National Committeeman Charles D. Hilles of New York still consider Mr. Coolidge as a possible candidate, tends to further complicate the situation. In the contingency that Mr. Coolidge should finally refuse to allow his name to be used, it is confidently expected that the administration strength and indulgence will go to Secretary Hoover, in which case only some unforeseen combination could prevent him from receiving the nomination. The Governor has thirty days to deal with the hundreds of measures enacted into law, many of which are of trivial importance and should not require legislative action. Among the more important measures of local concern is the bill for the reorganization of the municipal courts. AFRICAN VIEW OF LYNCHING. The Gold Coast Times is an independent organ of public opinion published on Saturdays at Cape Coast, West Africa. It claims to circulate in all parts of the country of the Gold Coast and in parts of Nigeria, which is under British control. It is outspoken in its criticism of the failure of the colonial policy to work for native development in industries and education. In its issue of February 11, it published a brief article on the lessening of lynching in the United States, upon which it based an editorial considering lynching as a phase of white civilization. Among the straws which point to this conclusion is the appearance of former Representative C. Bascom Slemp as a Hoover supporter, working among the Southern delegates, where his influence is still potent despite his former Lily-white tendencies in Virginia. Secretary Hubert Work and other high officials of the Coolidge administration are open supporters of Hoover, while such members of the national committee as Benjamin J. Davis of Georgia and Perry W. Howard of Mississippi would not openly array themselves on his side, if they did not feel that he enjoyed administration favor. Starting with the not unwarranted assumption that "this form of mob rule still prevails in the land of the Stars and Stripes," the West Coast editor noted the fact that the lynching of twenty-one persons in one year was regarded as an improvement on the previous year's record of thirty-four. That, he could not see what comfort people will derive from comparing the figures, "since in our view nothing short of the total suppression of this barbaric practice can be justified as an impgovernment." To enable his African readers to understand the position clearly, the editor stated, "that in America a mob has it in its power to seize any black man in the street or other place, or even to invade his premises and to drag him out, on the mere suspicion of murder or attempted murder, or of improper relations with a white woman, and to tie him to a stake or post and burn him alive and escape punishment for taking the law into its own hands." Either Mr. Lowden or Mr. Hoover has elements of strength which would make him an acceptable candidate for the Presidency. The wisdom of tying up to any candidate is questionable, however, unless his attitude on matters affecting the race is clearly and unmistakably set forth. We should know whether he will wipe out the blot of segregation and color discrimination in the public service, which now obtains in most of the departments at Washington and Fedral offices in many sections of the country. It should be made plain whether the bar against the appointment of men of the race to the consular and diplomatic service is to be taken down or maintained as firmly as under the Wilson administration. Neither President Harding nor President Coolidge did anything to wipe out the color line in government service established under the Democratic regime. Both of them seemed to have forgotten that the Republican party was formed as the party of human rights, without discrimination as to race, color or creed. If the Republican party wants the support of the Negro voters in the coming campaign, it should return to first principles by affirming its devotion to human rights, without equivocation or evasion. This is a pretty accurate and comprehensive idea of lynching as it is practiced in the United States, although it failed to include the more frivolous pretexts advanced to justify mob excesses. The West African editor credited the United States with the distinction of harboring this form of mob rule, as he had no knowledge of its prevailing in any other part of the world, not even in Africa. We are not so sure about this, as the Boer rule of the natives in South Africa did not stop short of killing and torture although it may not have taken on the festal and bestial details common to lynching in certain Southern communities. And the Boers were descendants of white Europeans. If the Republican party wants the support of the Negro voters in the coming campaign, it should return to first principles by affirming its devotion to human rights, without equivocation or evasion. It should quit pussyfooting on the question of opening the doors of opportunity to all men, regardless of race or color. So seriously does this African editor regard the lynching civil that he questions whether the United States is as enlightened as it is said to be, since it cannot maintain law and order within its own borders. He seeks an explanation of the inconsistency in the psychology of the white races, which reveals a European code of morality not corresponding to African ethics. He finds matters to which the Africans attach great importance are often regarded by Europeans as of minor significance, and what may appear as trivial to the former may be of deep concern to the latter. So, he concludes, what the African regards as insisting his code of morality may not appeal to the white man in the same light. This kind of reasoning may account for the failure of the South Carolina authorities to punish such crimes as the Aiken butchery. The African writer makes this forcible comparison: Nothing delights white people as when they are taunting natives with having in the past indulged in human sacrifices, or in cannibalism, though as to the Kitter we are quite sure that no white man had actually seen natives feeding on human flesh. Yet white condemning human sacrifices in Africa, as practised in the past, with the alleged cannibalism, looks on with complacency the roasting of human beings alive in the United States, a reputedly Christian country. There can, of course be no difference in the degree of enmity between "sacrificing a human being and burning him alive, except that the former practice was attributed to Africans and the other is still practised by white people. The pretence for the annexation of Ashkenazim in human sacrifices is native indulged in human sacrifices; and we be sure that if lynching were practised in any part of the Continent to-day it would be made the ground for organising a punitie expedition against the tribes concerned. Slavery in Abyssinia is an abomination to the white people, and quite deservedly so; but Negroes in America may be free, only they can lynch; the moral concept of the white people is the race, all the white nations will raise their voices in a prolonged protest against lynching in America until the white element there is impelled to put its house in order. This placing on the same level, the practice of human sacrifice in Africa and the burning and torture of blacks by whites in American, shows the dispassionate manner in which this African editor views the psychology of the whites. But there are too many elements combined in the practice and toleration of lynching in the South to be readily analyzed. However the predominant factor of such savagery in America as in Africa is probably the same, fear. As a student of Southern sociology once concluded, the South oppresses the Negro because he is the sole object of its fear and hatred. The great need of the South is to remove its fears and to divide its hatred. DIVERSIFIED BUSINESS one of the pressing needs of Haiti more diversity in the form of rich business enterprises. Of beauty and hairdressing parlors there appear an over supply. This kind of it is overdone with the result beauty will become commonplace, permanent waves will present the enemy of a dead calm. A consolide the various establishments that are competing for this kind of it that tend to lessen the overhead sizes and produce larger earnings, operators and proprietors.

Consol beauty parlors along the lines of oils and the dividends will be greer change will be for the better nation is death to any business. One of the pressing needs of Harlem is more diversity in the form of retail business enterprises. Of beauty shops and hairdressing parlors there appears to be an over supply. This kind of service is overdone with the result that beauty will become commonplace and permanent waves will present the monotony of a dead calm. A consolidation of the various establishments that are now competing for this kind of trade might tend to lessen the overhead expenses and produce larger earnings for the operators and proprietors. What is needed, according to keen observers, are more small shops for the sale of shoes, men's furnishings and other articles that are necessary to the comfort and equipment of the male and female, who have to make a decent appearance while on the job. The fact that establishments of this sort have been started and after a lingering existence have faded out for lack of patronage, is not regarded as disproving they are not needed, or that under more favorable auspices that they might thrive and prosper. It is essential that they should cater to a want that is felt, and which they can supply to the satisfaction of their customers. For without customers no business can survive at least very long. Diversify the trades and the variety of shops and Harlem will feel a new impetus to home industries. Consolidate the beauty parors along the lines of the banks and the dividends will be greater. Any change will be for the better, as stagnation is death to any business. A BELATED INDICTMENT. After two and one half years Delny, H. Leslie Quigg, chief of police of Miami, and six other officers were indicted by a grand jury for the murder of a Negro prisoner, who was taken from jail by them to the outskirts of the city and shot to death. This Florida city, despite its having become a favorite resort for Northern visitors, has earned the reputation of being a hellhole of the South for Negroes. So intense was the hatred displayed toward this group, that a curfew law was passed barring black pedestrians from the streets after nine o'clock. At one time Negro chauffeurs were not allowed to drive motor cars within the city limits. Instances of police brutality towards Negroes were frequent and went unrebuked by higher officials or public opinion. after two and one half years Delay lie Quigg, chief of police of M six other officers were indicted and jury for the murder of n N oner, who was taken from jail n to the outskirts of the city and This tolerance of the brutal treatment THE AGE READERS' FORUM THE AGE READERS' FORUM of Negroes by the police naturally bred the same kind of treatment of whites. In November, 1926, a carpenter named Victor W. Parnell was shot by a policeman, who claimed it was done in self-defense. Two patrolmen were charged with the murder of another Negro prisoner, who was alleged to have hanged himself in jail, while an aged white man died from injuries inflicted at a police station. All these happenings finally started the grand jury investigating police affairs, with the indictments cited above as a result. It is encouraging that a grand jury could be found in such a hellhole as Miami to undertake the task of curbing the excesses of a brutal police force, who were allowed to go the limit in dealing with the unfortunate black men who fell into their clutches. That they should vent the same kind of brutality on white prisoners was innevi- More Christian Hearted Men Needed On The Bench Editor of The New York Age My recent letter to your valued paper brought down on my head severe criticism, which is a confirmation of the old adage that "The wicked flechetly when no one pursueth." The conditions is outlined in my article with reference to conditions as they obtained in the A. M. E. Zion Church today. The church has been exposed because men love the church too well to show up the weakness of its leadership, and hence matters have drifted from bad to worse, until today men in authority have arrogated to themselves the idea that all men were afraid to expose wrong in high places. Infallibility in the episcopacy has been argued and practiced by some few of our bishops. One bishop boasted in an open conference, "I am bishop and I can and will do as I please and no one can help themselves." Several illiterate preachers sitting around and preaching the church said, he is known as one of the most unmerciful men on the bench. The resort to tricky politics in the manipulation of the affairs of some conferences is a stench in the nostrils of christian men. The appointment of the committees to the office of the election of delegates to the general conference, the handling of the finances, even to the reading out the appointments, are all questionable in some conferences. The large dole made to these (?) infallible bishops kept a secret from the conferences We would not for one instant have the public believe that all the bishops on the bench are of this caliber. There are real christian gentlemen in a measure in control of the affairs of Zion church. Their lives and dealing with men under them prove it. Their only fault is their silence or acquisence. For years and years there has been a move to purge the bench by the election of men who loved honor, who loved the church, who loved men, and who it was believed would put their lives on the altar. The election of men who loved honor. The mistake has been made men once by the elevation of self-centered men, men with inordinate greed for place and power, unregenerated and sinful men. This class of men have been and are still a menace to the peace and dignity of the church, and they are usually the most lord mouthed in their proclamation for literary and intellectual advancement. The general conference approaches with the hope that not only much needed legislation may be enacted, but measures may be enacted, but measures may be adopted that when a man has spent the day of the ministry, he may not kicked out of the church by any bishop on the idiosyncrasy of his henchmen, that when he has committed a crime he should at least be entitled to a hearing. Elect W. W. Matthews, elect W. C. or J. W. Brown; elect Fred M. Jacobs; and don't forget that J. H. Jackson, though a young man, has splendid bishop timber in him. Any two of these may be an improvement on some we then elect H. T Medford as missionary secretary; elect O. W. Adams as church extension secretary; and let the church move on. E. MARGYLF Washington, D. C. Approves Porters' Union Editor of The New York Age. Kindly allow me space in your valuable paper to express my deep admiration for and interest in the movement to organize the Pullman people and to work with them. It is almost unbelievable that these men and women, who are faithful servants for so rich a corporation as the Pullman Company, receive only $2.250 a month, if they are fortunate enough to get a full month's work. I regard this as an outrage which challenges the sense of justification for every fair-minded person. These men are pelled to rely upon tips for a living. Tips are always degrading, for they make the tipped feel that he is superior to the person tipped. table, as crime is no respecter of persons. The extent to which this sort of brutality has permeated the force may be gauged by the statement of the grand jury, which reported: "It developed beyond all doubt that the persons in charge of this department not only condoned and ratified such vibilities on the part of their subordinates, but in a number of instances have themselves led the assaults and become the chief executioners." It is time that such pestholes as Miami and Aiken, parts of the south that have been built up and sustained by the influx of Northern visitors and Northern capital, should be cleansed and purified from the reign of police brutality and mob murder. Such a cleansing process will become necessary for the protection of the whole community sooner or later, whites as well as blacks, Northerners and Southerners. a heroic and noble fight which deserves the moral and financial support of all red-blooded individuals of the Negro race who are not content, with charity but believe in the principle of untranmelled manhood. I believe that this splendid movement will be an inspiration to Negro youth, whose needs have been met by the work of feeling that they are children of charity, which necessarily weakens the spirit of independence. I am happy to be a member of the Negro Labor Conference Committee which was formed to aid the Brotherhood of Sleeping Cat Porter. An Impending Calamity Editor of The New York Age Is it possible that the 250,000 Negroes of Harlem, with their hundreds of capable Negro leaders with he-men backbones, will stand for being misrepresented in so important a gathering and on such an important occasion as the forthcoming Republican National Convention by such an Uncle Tone, spineless, hat in hand "yes, su, boss" type as this Rev R M. Bolden appears to be? I sincerely trust that something can be done to forestall this impuding calamity within the race. I know nothing of politics but I do know that it this type of Negro is not the kind of Negro who is likely to bring credit to the race if placed in a position of honor. May good help you in your fight for Negroism in Harlem, and may he crown your labor's with abundant success. H. SALES 70 West 99th N. St., Y. City On Negro Leadership Editor of The New York Age We all know the story of Moses, the Jew, commissioned to lead the invention of ancient Egypt into the Promised Land. We are also familiar with his modern counterpart—Negro Leadership in the United States today—composed of hundreds of dark inks, colored masses or think they are. This modern Moses too often knows not where he is trying to lead the Negro, but since the most potent salvation in this world today is economic prosperity, we submit the propositional leadership to Negro leadership today is to lead the Negro into economic power. Like Moses of old, this Negro Moses of today is destined not to reach the Promised Land And he has forfeited his right to lead his fellows there because of a fatal weakness. It is the purpose of this article to point out the reason of his failure and the security it impedes and his inability to plot his race to that coveted harbor. Reluctantly have we come to admit, and with no little mortification do we publish our conviction, that the Negro "leader" of today is the fundamental cause of the backwardness of our people in economic prosperity because he fails to practice the basic principles; namely, co-operation of all Negroes in business enterprises, etc. Ask any Negro grocer whether the Negro leaders—college presidents, professors, ministers, physicians and others of like class carry regular accounts at his store. He will invariable tell you "no." Ask the Negro lawyer whose cases he pleases to handle, and he will say that of Negro leaders will be conspicuous for their absence. Ask the Negro banker, struggling to keep his financial ark above the waves in this present storm of economic uncertainty, who deposits most largely in his institution and you will find that the only large accounts placed with him by Negro "leaders" are the accounts colored secretly in the bank and the unmistakable handling the funds of the common people. The Negro "leader" deposits his own money in the white bank. Ask the Negro physician who calls him to heal their wounded bodies. He will tell you of "Susie the cook"; "Jennie the mud"; "Mary, the nurse"; Seldom will he speak of the "obscenized leaders" you meet socially. Ask the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Lethal A M. Fountain to teach him to impart to the great organization. He will tell you of "Sister Eliza Jane, the washer-woman," and "Brother Tom Berry, the drayman." Of course, there is "Dacon Theodore Phillips, the doctor," or per- The following item in the social and personal new columns of the Cleveland Gazette may be regarded as a straw showing how the wind blows. An Afro-American Democratic club will be organized here soon, says Solomon Harper of E. 55th St., former Democratic worker in New York City and Buffalo. Harper said the first meeting would generally he says 'its coming to the realization that the veneration given the Republican party since the Civil War hasn't helped it. We hope to have a well organized group working under the Democratic standard, possibly, we hope to be the result by a many an inventor of more than average ability. He lived here, some years ago, before going East. When an inventor turns his attention to political matters, he may become as great a disturber of traffic as an "accelerator of public opinion," the name given to his vocation, by a former adroit manipulator of New York politics. Mrs. Harriet C. Hall, in a letter to the Boston Chronicle, explained why she refused the honor of being named as an alternate delegate to a national convention. She said: Much is being said pro and con concerning the candidacies of the delegates and alternates to the National Republican Convention from the Eleventh Congressional District. A great deal, of information and misinformation is being created concerning the candidates. There will be necessity of a "last minute central of a Negro alternate," as I was asked several weeks ago and I know of one other person in Ward Nine and one in Ward Twelve who were asked if they wished a place with the group headed by Charles Lines and James Foster in national reasons Dr. Benjamin Robinson accepted, but before accepting he asked me if I would reconsider my action. I wonder how many voters know the obligations that the honor entails. Each delegate and alternate will be assessed between $400 and $500 for the honor itself. I pay the assessment. I did not think that the honor was worth that expenditure of money and I did not care to be obligated otherwise. This shows that the acquisition of the vote and eligibility for political honors has not come to the head of the women voters. Some of them at least are able to appraise each honors from an economic standpoint. The Star of Leon, official organ of the A. M. E.-Zion Church, published at Charlotte $^{N, C}$. noted the following example of the power of prayer in the jerry room. Something new has happened in the annals of our Southern courts. A colored preacher of Augusta, Georgia was on the jury which tried a white woman for the killing of her husband in 1926. When the jury went out to ascertain a verdict, Rev. J. H. Williams, a colored juror, was asked to pray. He prayed a fervent prayer for the guidance of the woman who took the prayer, were so moved that they freed Lillian McKie of the charge of killing her husband Nothing was said as to the weight of evidence for or against the accused and whether or not the jury considered it. It therefore looks as if the prosecution should have moved to set aside the verdict on account of undue influence The Norfolk Journal and Guide commended the action of the city authorities, in acting upon the request of a group of colored citizens to relieve the local unemployment situation, by starting work on needed public improvements. It said, also, that City Manager Trutum and City Council named first among the public works to be started improvements to a number of streets in the colored sections totaling an expenditure of $15,000 further affirms the accepted fact that the city government intends to carry through the program announced some time ago in reference to ever betterment for the colored citizens. However, our unemployed elements in particular and the public in general must not be led to expect too much in the way of work to be provided through municipal undertakings. The giving out of $15,000 contracts will do much to improve the general situation, but employment and unemployment issue from economic factors such as supply and demand or production and over-production operating throughout the industrial fabric of the nation and can be only slightly affected by municipal operations. It is highly important that we maintain our investment, through realizing this fact, have moved to do whatever it can in the circumstances, and what it has "Steward J Morgan Hightower, the underaker" but these latter gentlemen "raise the collection" and ostentiously give their dollar to persuade customers on the morrow. Finally, ask the Negro teacher whose "brown eyed dartlings" sit before her and him from their primer to their college diploma. You will discover that the list of puns, especially in the latter years of culture, will not contain the names of the children of Mr. Modern Moses, the American Negro Leader Those "increasing dartlings have gone to some exclusive lavish homes in Nordic savants show them how to acquire the "inferiority complex" in the most approved Western fashion, the A. H. GORDON planned to do will mean much of belittlement to a large group of our people. Incidentally, the Journal and Guide approved restriction of foreign immigration and urged that Congress turn its attention to the Mexican border, across which "thousands of the lowest type of Mexican peas scamper, each year to compete in the Southern and Southwestern labor fields." Apropos of Sir Gordon Guggisberg's impression as to the progress of the American Negro, the Gold Coast Times' published at Cape Coast, commented on the failure of British colonial rule to develop the native African. It said: The more we ponder the marvelous achievements of the American Negro within the brief period of a little over half a century, the more we are appalled by the barrenness of British efforts in these parts and the time we have lost under white leadership. The truth of the matter is that apart from the Pax XII effort, we are not alone in making it essential in race development from our associations with the British. The civilization which the British have introduced in our country is essentially commercial in character and it only aims at developing the resources of the country and increasing the wants of its people in order that the white man may supply these resources to the people. It is a civilization for exploiting the colored races, but unfortunately we did not discover its true purpose until late in the day. For well high three centuries we have reposed confidence in the British and followed them implicitly with the belief that they will be producing the cultural civilization which they have attained. But the fact that to-day we have to send all the way to England for such articles as milk and sugar, which we should be producing on the spot if the British had been magnanimous enough to impart to our people the knowledge which they themselves have formed, prove conclusively that it is sheer waste of time on our part to continue looking up to them for assistance along the real path to national progress. The West African editor urges the necessity of practicing self-reliance and initiative under good native leadership, as a means of economic and educational development Expressing the discontent over the failure to receive an appointment in the office of the Hennepin county attorney, the *Trem-City Herald* of Minneapolis said Mr. Olson, the county attorney, received large Negro support at the polls under the at least implied understanding that we would have group representation in his office, and other city, appointee positions are filled logically front among those racial groups which have contributed to the success of the elected. In Minneapolis, St. Paul and other places the Negro is too frequently left out of consideration when this situation of partnership is in order. In the county attorney's office there are fourteen assistants. Patronage is fairly well divided among the racial groups, that of the county attorney himself predating, but the Negro group is conspicuous because of its absence. We protest this as being unfair and uncalled for. If indeed we made a political error when we supported Mr. Olson, when will surely come a day when the error may be retitled. Watch for it! The most effective way of expressing discountent with existing political conditions is to say it with votes. When our voters in every state learn thus, their demands for proper consideration will receive greater attention. Referring to the 1928 health campaign conducted by the Cook County Physicians' Association, the Chicago Bee said: So persistent and thorough have the former campaigns of our medical and dental men been that the public has been advised, informed, instructed and impressed by vital facts of life, well-being and health that will in a large measure be responsible for an increased life expectation of our group, as a result of physical care, better habits, better child homes, better habits, better child homes, better men and women. There is no denying the fact that in this strenuous age in which we live, there is exacted of us more in efficiency, in stamina, in more than ever before. Good health is a pre-requisite of employment and capacity whatever. Continued good health are to be retained. The aim of the "survival of the future" here. Unless a group has the physical hardihood to withstand the stress and strain of the time, will of necessity be unplanned by healthier groups of study stock. The crux of the situation as related to the permanent successful future of our own rests upon a turn of the pivotal key of health control. The value, in dollars and cents and untold good to individuals, groups, institutions and organizations result, and from the efforts of the Cook County Physicians' Association to realize in unselfishly deserving its time and bending its energies to preserve the good health of the community cannot be computed. That is an unusual tribute to the real and public spirit of the medical profession in Chicago. Its good work should be emulated in other communities. Saturday, March 31, 1928 THE NEW YORK AGE PAGE CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Grace Church of Harlem The pastor, Rev. A. C. Garner, preached from the text, Matthew 10:1y, on the theme: "The keys of the kingdom." He told of the antiquity of the key; that its invention began a new epoch in civilization, that it was not known to barbarous, or uncivilized people; that all ages buried their wealth; that dog does a sacrifice; that the keys to unlock the most precious chest of wealth. He said, that the kingdom and the wealth of God, were in human soul. Immancel, God poised, the kingdom "within." The preacher said the keys were not given simply to the Apostles, but to all who succeeded to their peculiar faith and power. We are all priests and God if we were the Father. Christ promised us as He promised the Apostles viz. "greater things." He said the keys were a gift and not arbitrary bestowal—they represent authority or power. God makes keys out of faith, nature, experience, troubles, bereavement, and so on. He given him as a result of spiritual insight—a gift of the Spirit to Peter. It came not by flesh and blood, it was not natural but Spiritual. The sermon produced a profound impression. The choir followed immediately with beautiful anthem, of the same kind, lined in such a way as to give harmony to the whole. The audience was large and appreciative. Announcements that preceded the sermon, were of the great Visitation Evangelism that is now conducting a survey and a next week look at the work. This a new and promising method of reaching the unchurched method of Harlem. Palmi Sunday was announced as a triple program day. The biggest event being the presentation of Madame R. DeGraffreau Norcom, solemnized by Mrs. Nettie Terry is president. This event is for charity the babies and the boys being the proposed beneficiaries. Sunday afternoon the Ladies Aid Society gave a silver tea at Mrs. Marie Williams II, 333 Third Avenue and a beautiful musical program was rendered. This organization is one of great happiness to the Grace Church. At 8 p.m. in the service was addressed by Dr. Anderson, representing the Tuberculosis Society, and the pastor. There was Congregational singing and worship was worth much to the congregation though it was not largely attended. The chair is working hard, preparing to render Stainer's "Crucifixion" on Easter Sunday night. Miss Olive D. Jeter will direct the Hunger Project-pantinet, and special solos will assist. The pastor will be absent for a few days attending the National Ministerial Alliance at Washington, D.C. Trace Day Nursery has completed the renovation of the rear rooms of the church and enlarged the capacity of the Nursery to accommodate 36 children. Lester Sunday schedule calls for special office of the church at 11 a.m. the church school at 4 p. m.; the church choir at 8 p. m. Last Monday night the church held its quarterly business meeting. The officers reported for their respective departments. Mother Zion Church Time to seek the Lord! The revival and evangelistic campaign opened at Mother Zion Church on last Sunday. Rev. J. G. Robinson of Philadelphia, Pa., will be the evangelist. He preached a soul-stirring and inspiring sermon at the 11 o'clock service in the church, and the persons united with the church.

Church of Christ --- Sunday service at Rewild was good in the morning he preached. His mess been from Judges 23, 24 and the angel of litterly the unlucky because they came in the land of the lost and against their faith in said "I have three sisters it is three sayly or not, however, side together The text read in Judges as the angel of the Lord that came not to the Lord in the time of torse then bitterly might power and His wrath and judge city or tribe was supposed to send a quota of souliers to help in the common defense. This Aeserot tainted to do, out of seminal nummerance and perhaps secret sympathy for the enemy, to do, out of duty, the angel's curse came upon them. The apostle Faust said of himself, in 1st Cormorans 9:10, "Necessity is laid upon men' yea, yea is unto me, it I preach not the gospel," showing that he was not ignorant of that God did his place him in the ministry; he released himself, or not do at all when he wanted to: but necessity, yea and woe, is upon him, if he failed to do that which God had called hit. to do, and had given him ability to perform by the salvation of men by the preaching of the gospel. Isaiah 24:16, you will find these words, "But I said, my leanness, my leanness, woe unto me!" This prophecy came to the people of the Lord in Isaiah's time, because of the lack of fervency and diligence their heart was in, and called them to become callous and indifferent and lean in soul. The lack of faithful service to God will likewise cause His people to be in the same condition in our day. Perhaps that is the reason some are so lean of soul, cold and without a testimony for God. The report of the Men's Church League in New York asks, "What is the matter with our churches?" distressed by the fact that not one convert is a member of MQJ churches, Northern Baptist and Methodist Episcopal churches in the country. This is an indictment of churchunity, the curse of Merger of our day. The trouble is, the people have lost the vision of the Cross, have railed to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost; therefore they are indifferent to the call of service. Let me remember, you are living under a curse if you are tailing to come to the help of the Lord in the time of battle, if there is something you can do in the service of the Lord and will not, Remember, the Lord knoweth your ability. He knows whether you have been able to all that you have the ability to do. Some may say, I am not a preacher, and cannot get around in active service, owing to my duty and conditions in the home, etc. That may be true, but what about giving out of your money may go? What about the sick, the shun ones, the hospitals, our girls that are going astray? What about the encroachments of evil in our best community, the dance hall, cabbages, etc. Surely you could do better than these evil acts, and help foster the righteousness of God in the hearts of men. Have some tracts or your testiment) printed and give out to others, that they may know how you, came into salvation. Send 'an offering to the struggling churches that need help, and open doors we would fail me to mention the things that can be done, to help in the battle of the Lord against the mighty forces of evil. Are you doing your best? If not, start now and see that you make yourself of some help in the battle of the Lord this day of battle against the might. SERVICE When we count out our gold at the end of the day. And have filtered the dress that has numbered the way. cumbered the way: Oh, what were the hold of our queen? Save the law we have shown to the children of men? St Mark's M. E. Church At 10 a. m., on Sunday, the assistant pastor preached to the young people of the tumor church. Dr Robinson, who preached at 11 a. m., concluded at most successful five years of service in St. Mark's at the conclusion he admonished the church to ever keep in mind its spiritual, moral, and ethical obligations. The New York annual conference convened in this city, March 28 at St. Paul's M. E. Church, 50 street and West End avenue. At the evening service, the pastor preached a sermon to St Mark's Alliance, a beneficial organization in the church Miss Mimmie Brown, was the solist and Miss Ruth Ingberg Walther, a trumpet solist, rendered two selections. Under auspices of the Eunorth League, under 20 a. m., Mine Tempel Smith and children rendered a pleasing program Mine Houston was also a solist. St Mark's annual reunion, which was held last Thursday night was a great success. With Beni J. Thomas as chairman the Coleridge Taylor Music Club, presented a program which was highly appreciated. A mass meeting is to be held at the church on Friday morning March 30 at which time a general protest is to be made against the recent discrimination against six Negro students of New York University St. Martin's Chapel St Martin's Chapel at 230 Lenz Avenue had a very nice attendance at the T webcam service on Sunday, and the congregation addressed John H Johnson via addressed the congregation to which all were intensely interested. As a result,接待 G Best of St David's Church delivered a splendid sermon WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH especially. Mrs. Catherine Johnson and Mrs. Violet Watson, who as president of their respective guilds, worked hard for the success of both.

Owen of Holy Trinity, whose congregation formerly occupied the site where St. Martin's Chapel is now located. Mount; Olivet Baptist Church There was a large attendance at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Sunday, March 25. At the morning service, a tenor solo was excellently rendered by Charles H. Simmons before the ceremony. The pastor, Rev. W. P. Hayes, chose for his text the lattice; part of the 18th verse of 1st chapter of Colossians, "That in all things he might have the preeminence." His subject was "The Preeminence of Christ." He discussed organic and spiritual evolution and the mystery of conversion and the transformed life. Paul for an example. His message was eloquent and fraught with power. Miss Burroughs introduced Mr. Munsey, a矿er, and president of No. 1 local of the coal miners in the strike area in Pennsylvania, who told in plain terms the troubles and intense suffering of the miners and children, whose very lives are not safe 75,000 of the strikers are colored and when colored strikebreakers are brought to work, they are not people, for fear they will explain the situation to them.

On the thought that Jesus came not into the world to condemn the world but to save the world, and to bring out of the individuals the best there is in them. The most important point in the sermon is the eternal consequences—the result of sin. The great redemptive power in life is the power of a suffering heart.

DORGAN, BOXING EXPERT PRAISES NEGRO VETERANS OF RING DORGAN, BOXING EXPERT PRAISES NEGRO VETERANS OF RING There are many who declare that the average Negro boxer is not quite yet this charge can never be substantiated. In fact a record of Negro boxers for the last 20 years just a mere handful of the many who have brought prestige to their race, who in the sports winnables have been "yellow" or quitting. Some of the greatest fighters since the days of Figg have been Negroes and not a word can be said about the gameness or courage of these fistic luminaries. Take Peter Jackson for instance. The great West Indian who battled Corbett 61 rounds to a draw. Then there were George Godfrey, first colored champion heavyweight of America, and Frank Craig, the Harlem Coffee Cooler." Then there were Johnson, Langford, Jeanette, McVey,—but one splendid trio of Negro battlers are foremost in oralistic history. It was composed of George Dixon; Joe Gans and Joe Waltcott, Dixon, the first Negro world's champion; Gans, of knockout fame; Walcott, the Barbados Terror, whose head was so close to his shoulders that it was next to impossible to hurt him. All three won the highest honors the ring can bestow. Dixon was ruler of the featherweight and bantams, Gans of the lightweight, and Walcott became master, of the welters. Dixon was one of the most popular legends that ever raised a glove. His career started in Hailafax, Nova Scotia, in 1886, when he knocked out. Young Johnson. He had 26 rights in Massachusetts cities and in other Eastern towns, dying from 1887 to February 7, 1890, when he met Cal McCarthy for the bantam championship of America. The then fought 70 rounds to a draw with two ounce gloves. Dixon was a different miller from the general run of fighters. Where, as a rule, coming champions knock out most of their opponents in the early days of their careers, Dixon played safe and was content with winning over his opponents. All this time he was learning cleverness but when he fought McCarthy he did not look much like the star he became later. "Little Chocolate" had four fights after the memorable affair with McCarthy, and then Tom O'Rouke took him to London, where, in June, 1890, defeated Nunc Wallace in 18 rounds. Nine months later he again fought McCarthy for the bantam championship of America and won at Troy, N. Y., in 22 rounds. Next he met Abe Willis, the Australian champion, at San Francisco and knocked him out in five rounds. There being no good men left in the bantam class for him to meet he fought several featherweights and whipped them one after another. A year after this battle with Willis he was matched with Fred Johnson for the world's featherweight championship. They struggled at Coney Island for a $5,000 purse and Dixon dropped Johnson for the count in the fourteenth round. Dixon continued in the game until 1906. In 1900 he lost the featherweight title to Terry McGovern. In the nineties Joe Woollatt blazed Keep youth longer! cleanse the system of poisons Two of the great enemies to youth and vitality are delayed elimination and intestinal poisons. To keep yourself free from both these common difficulties will help you to stay young. With the use of Nujol you can do it too. For Nujol absorb body poisons and carries them off, preventing their absorption by the body. Nujol also entails the waste matter and brings about normal evacuation. It is harmful, contains no toxic or unpleasant substances, causes or ripening pain, affects the stomach or kidneys. Every nurse drugstret has Nujol. Make sure you get the genuine. Look for the Nujol bottle with the label on the back that you can read right through the bottle. Don't delay, get Nujol today. In the Realm of Sport and the Theatre a trail for lightweights, wettersweights and middleweights that was hard to follow, Walcott was a wetterweight, but he trained down to 133 pounds for Kid Lavigne when the Kid was champion at that weight in 1895 and the Michgander gave him a terrible lacing. Before the Lavigne fight, and after, Walcott was universally feared. He was animalistic in his attack and established a string of knockouts. Walcott was a powerful punder, and never hesitated to fight a man from 10 to 60 pounds heavier than himself. His first contest with Mysterious Billy Smith was one of the most brutal ever staged. Smith was protected by two sets of articles, and after 15 fierce rounds had been reeled off, Smith's handler, Jim Westcott, told the referee the battle was over. The decision was a draw, and the backers of Smith thus saved their money. Walcott became welterweight champion after the title had passed back and forth among Rube Ferns, Matty Matthews and Mysterious Billy Smith. He was the greatest demon welterweight of two decades. Walcott got his schooling under George Dixon, who took him in hand when he came from Barbados. Joe Gans was the name of a boxing marvel from Baltimore who arose to the heights of lightweight champion in 1902, after 11 years of mixing. He was the third Negro to become a titled head. His career was 16 years long. The curtains were lowered on him when Nelson stopped him twice in 1907. Gans was one of the greatest blockers-out of the ring. Sixty-one forms buried their faces in the carpet at the behest of his thudding fists. Gans was both a fighter and boxer—a true artist. He had an eye for distance that was remarkable, and his blows rarely traveled over a couple of inches. He was also a fine blocker. In 1902, at Ft. Erie, Ont., he felled Frank Erue in a round, and won the lightweight championship. His best fights were with Dal Hawkins, as dangerous a man as himself; Frank Erue and Bat Nelson. Gans put Hawkins away twice after Hawkins had rocked him groggy, the first contest being two rounds and the other three rounds. "Joe lost once to Erue in 12 rounds. He won over Nelson on a foul in 42 rounds, and lost in 17 and 21 rounds, respectively. These three Negroes were next to Johnson and Jackson, the most famed in the history of pugilism. Phil Edwards Sets Canadian Record For 600-Yard Run --- Hamilton, Ont.-Phil Edwards of New York University, who is a member of Canada's 1928 Olympic team, was the star of the international indoor track championships here Wednesday night, March 21. The Negro star from the British Guiana streaked around the wooden saucer in the greatest performance of the meet, winning the 600-yard special in record time, and then captured the 440-yard run time that was only a second slower than the record. In the 600, Edwards chalked up a mark of 113. He upset the recognized Canadian indoor record of 120 1-5 made in 1911. Edwards won the quarter mile despite the fact that he had to give a thirty five yard handicap in Ward of Hamilton. This was the last meet that the great Negro star will participate in until the opening of the outdoor season. Baseball Results Atlanta University 5—Clark University 2 Paine College 11—Harbison 3.

Howard Five Swamps Lincoln For Second Victory Of Season Washington, D. C.-The Lincoln University Quint met its second defeat this season at the hands of the Howard University Basketteers Saturday evening, March 17, with a score of 47-21 Before a crowd of about 1500 both teams opened the game with a dash of speed that brought to the minds of those present that a real battle was in progress. Lincoln was first to draw blood when Sydnor, the lanky center of the Lions, made a pretty side court shot that was followed by two more shots by this star. Coates, Howard's captain, responded by caging a long shot that was followed by two quick baskets by Carpenter, tying the score. Assisted by Woods, Hinton and Jones, Carpenter and Coates began scoring almost at will, taking a commanding lead of 23-14 at half time. In the second half Coach Burr used Cobbs, Wilhams, Johnson, Jones and Tyson of his reserve force, who continued the work started by their team mates, making 19 points while holding Lincoln to one floor basket and five fouls. Sydnor, Young and Silva starred for the Lincoln Five, while Carpenter and Coates did most of the scoring for Howard St. Philip's 5 Wins Sunday School Title The 120 pound team representing St. Phillip's Sunday School in the "Y" League, won their final game from St. Barnabas, thus establishing themselves as champions.

Carlton is hoping that another year will see more of the Brooklyn Sunday School's lined up in this activity. Give the youngsters a chance to make a name in athletics for the Sunday School.

As the colored domestic whose husband has been laid low "wid da misery us da stummik," Miss Sul Te Wan played the role with such complete understanding, with such ingratiating subtlety and with such rare tragic finesse, especially in the last act, where she comes to borrow a black dress from her employer for the purpose of attending her husband's funeral, that it almost sounds like an exaggeration to observe that she is the best dramatic actress now appearing on any stage in Hollywood. In the light of Miss Sul Te Wan's astounding performance it naturally follows that at least one dramatic reporter should inquire into her stoo Watt and Ringgold are at the Orpheum Theatre, Germantown, Pa.

In answer to a question, that she is an American Negro parentage; that she was born in Honolulu while her father, a preacher was living there. The most extraordinary thing about her name is that it is her true name, and even more stranges is the fact that the "Madame" appelation which prefixes her odd sort of surname (for an American woman) is her true baptismal Christian name she having been named, she stated after her Hindoo maternal grand-mother. Thus, she is called Madame as one might refer to a girl or woman as Mary. Sise alho stated that her stage experience was gained in the vicinity of New Orleans when she troupped with the "Creole' Nell" and "Darkest America" companies; that she has appeared in pictures during the last fifteen years, notably with D. W. Griffith in the latter's famous "Birth of a Nation," picture as well as "Hearts of the World," and that she recently finished a protracted movie engagement in Universal's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" that was Henry B. Walthall who recommended her for the stage role she is now playing for the company headed by Bessie Bariscale. ALHAMBRA NOW PLAYING THIS WEEK Come One and All! Come Large and Small!

Continuous to 11 p. m. Water Pageant By Girl Swimmers At 137 St. Y One of the attractive features of the Carnival of Spring held Friday evening, March 23, at the West 137th Street Y W. C. A. was the water pageant, "The Frog Prince," given by the swimming classes and life saving corps under direction of Miss Leolya Nelson, physical director, in the swimming pool. The theme of the play was taken from Grinnam's Fairy Tales, depicting a Princess at play with her maidens, when she drops a gold bracelet from her arm into the water. The King, her father, offers his daughter's hand to the one who recovers the bracelet, and after all the courtiers have unsuccessfully tried to find the bracelet, it is found and dropped at the Princess' feet by the Frog. When the Princess, in dismay, kicked the ugly creature, the Frog removed his head covering and disclosed himself as a handsome prince. The Princess was enacted by Rubena LaMarr; the King was Celestine B. Thompson; the Frog was Crystal Thompson, with little Roberta McLain as the Court Jester. Maids in attendance on the Princess were Anise Boyer, Mary Gordon, Elsie Ramsey, Thelma Brunder, Anna Brewster and Marjorie Smith, while the suitors were Juanita Campbell, Constance White, Ella Gourdine, Edna Harris, Amelia Pennington, Geneva Thompson, Ethel Miller, Ethel Lawrence, Gloria Eversley, Ruby Pickens, Fannie Pennington, Evelyn Long and Evelyn Sheppard. The Water Sprites were Grace Thompson, Eva Richards, Eleanor Blum and Lucy Merrill. After the Frog's real identity was established the girls gave an exhibition of swimming stunts, including fancy diving and balloon, egg and other races, as a celebration prior to the Wedding Feast. Laughs, more laughs and then some more, without interruption until one's sides really ache. That in a line, sums up the newest masterpiece of Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton "Firehens Save My Child" which opened Thursday at the Lincoln Theatre.

A complete change of program was offered by Lieut. Fred W. Simpson, conductor, and it was superbly rendered. The band was in fine fettle and played with discrimination and authority. Special features of the afternoon were cornet solos by Herbert Finlay and violin solos by Felix F. Weir, and a group of songs by a male quartet. Mr. Funley gave the "Inflammatus" from Rossini's "Stabat Mater," exhibiting unusual mastery of his instrument, producing beautiful tones in all registers. As an encore he played the "Intermezzo" from "Cavalleria Rusticana" by Pagliacca. He was accompanied by the full band in what proved to be one of the finest bits of playing of the afternoon. Under Lieut. Simpson's baton, the band achieved shadings and nuances that would have done credit to a symphony orchestra. The reed section was particularly good. Mr. Weir's offending was the "Andante" from Mendelssohn's Concerto, and he played with rare delicacy and deftness of bowing. Miss Olive Jeter was at the piano. As an encore Mr. Weir played Weinlawski's "Romance" in most charming manner. After the "Star Spangled Banner" was played, the audience standin, the band swung into its program with "The Capitol" march by Ernie Rappe, which was first played at the opening of the Capitol Theater, at that time the largest moving picture house in the world. Then followed "La Gioconda," a transcription of airs from Ponchihas celebrated opera, and a choral arrangement of Nevin's song, "The Rosary." After Mr. Finlay's number, the band played a Poesia Campera, "Margay Tango," by Candiola, a typical Spanish movement. Then came Mr. Weir, who graciously gave an added number, and then the band played a Grand Fantasia on themes from Bizet's opera, "Carmen," and another number of Spanish atmosphere, the first movement, "Los Toros," from a Suite by Lacome, "La Feria." The final number was the descriptive composition, "Forge in the Forest," by Michaelis. The entire audience stood as the band ended the program with "Auld lang syne." Several numbers had to be added to the program by the band because of the enthusiastic appreciation of the audience. Alderman Fred R. Moore made a brief talk, calling attention to the effort to raise a fund to finance the band's free summer concerts in Harlem parks, and Dr. Butler also spoke along the same lines. The male quartet sang Will Marion Cook's "Swing along", Burleigh's "Were you there?" and "Auld lang syne". They would probably have been more effective if they had sung from the stage instead of the floor. The third concert will be played on Sunday afternoon, April 29, at 3 o'clock, and the program will be almost entirely of serious classical works by Wagner, Teachikowsky, and possibly one of the Hungarian Rhapsodies by Liszt. The final recital on May 27 will be devoted entirely to compositions by Negro musicians, including Coleridge-Taylor, Burleigh, Europe, Tyers, Dahney, Shelton Brooks, Alton A. Adams and Lieut. Simpson himself. MUSIC NOTES A. Eugene Nixon, director of the Nixon Musical School and of the Philharmonic Club, has just completed a setting of "The Crucifixion," and, with a group of singers from the Philharmonic Club, will present it to Brooklyn and New York audiences during Holy Week. The text is taken from the Four Gospels, and requires about 45 minutes for its rendition. On Palm Sunday at 4:30 p.m., Mr. Nixon will present it at St. Cyprus's Church, Brooklyn, and after other renditions in Manhattan will offer the last hearing at the 135th Street Y. M. C. A, at 8:30 o'clock on Good Friday night. Mr. Nixon has been working on this composition for several months. A note from Andrew Fletcher Rosemond, violinist, following his recent return to Paris for a summer's study preparatory to an extended American concert tour next fill, tells of some important musical events in that city during the lenten season. Mr. Rosemond is studying with Walther Stramar and reports finding his work most interesting. One of the concerts he attended was at the Theatre du Chatelet by the Disk Jubilee Singers, who appeared with the Colonne Symphony Orchestra under direction of Gabriel Pierre on March 10 At the annual reunion of St. Mark's M. E. Church on Thursday night, March 22, after an invocation by the assistant pastor, the Rev. R. A. Bolden, and remarks by the pastor, Dr. J. W. Robinson, an interesting musical program was rendered. E. Aldama Jackson, organist-director of the church choir, opened with an organ number, after which musical renditions were given by David Auld, violinist; Penman Lovinggood, tenor; Westley G Graves, pianist; John M. Johnson, tenor; Jacob Lowe, baritone; Mrs. G Dunlap-Severi, pianist, and Miss Doris Trottman, soprano; dramatic readings were given by Lillian H. Jackson and W. Davis Smith. Closing remarks and distribution of prizes were by Benjamin F. Thomas, chairman of the executive committee in charge of the reunion. WILSON LAMB VOCAL STUDIO 105 W. 1300L.

J. FRIDAY, APRIL 13th, 1928 CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL, Newark, N. J. BAND GLEE CLUB QUARTETTE Admission Fifty Cents Lincoln University Musical Club Heard By Large Audience Lincoln University Musical Club Heard By Large Audience The Lincoln University Musical Club, with James E. Dorsay as director, in making its initial New York appearance at St. James Presbyterian Church, 141st street and St. Nicholas avenue, the Rev. William Dloyd Jones, pastor, on Monday night, March 26, afforded a large and appreciative audience an evening of considerable enjoyment. One of the notable features in connection with this organization, as was pointed out by Mrs. Ruth Logan Roberts, one of the sponsors of the recital, is that this is entirely a student activity, the musical training and development being altogether in their own hands. Mr. Dorsay, the director, is a senior at Lincoln, and brings to his task experience gained at Tuskegee Institute, of which school he is a graduate, through two or three years connection with the Tuskegee quartet. The program was most enjoyable. Through lack of available material, there is a preponderacy in the bass and baritone sections, but Mr. Dorsey has evidently labored, and with considerable skill, to so emerge and blend his voices as to overcome this lack to some extent. With a stronger senior section, and with his evident musical appreciation and ability to impart, his ideas of interpretation, the director would have a singing body offering little room for criticism. Two of the Spirituals rendered were unusual in arrangement, and as the program only gave the information that these were "Arranged" it is hard for granted that Mr. Dorsey is rearranging. The David Ark's a-movering" and "Joshua fit de battle of Jericho". The splendid and striking harmonic effects are worthy of special mention, and this was true in another number given as an encore, the popular song hit of the moment, "Blue Heaven". The chorus-was organ-like in some of the tonal effects produced. The club is composed of a glee club of twenty-six of twenty-seven; a male quartet and a violin trio, with both piano and violin solosists. Incidentally, the phano solo by William Pickens, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Pickens of New York, and the solo piano by Leon E. Schub, former musician at the Martin-Smith Music School, 139 West 136th street, were of pleasing quality, and both had to respond to insistent encores. Other solos were by Albert Homer Anderson, a bass singer of good quality, and by William Alyn Hill, programmed as a tenor, but whose natural voice had more of the barton tone quality. As a matter of fact, he sang in falsetto through most of his solo and in the ensemble work as well. The quartet did some fine work in the Sextet from Donizetti's opera, "Lucila di Lammermoor," and in number, by Cadman and Lieurance. And the audience thoroughly enjoyed the men's singing of "The little tree and its component parts," as an added number after the glee club had some one of its groups. Mr Dorsey appeared to be ubiquitous. Not only did he direct; he also sang first bass in the quartet, played one of the violins in the trio, and from time to time, with the glee club, interjected incidental solos. And all of this he did in the most pleasing manner. The large audience left a few vacant seats in the spacious auditorium, and the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Imes, voiced, apparently, the audience's sentiment when he extended the group an urgent invitation to make its next New York appearance in St. James Church. The Pastor's Aid Society, Mrs Phoebe Minott, president, promoted the affair, with the assistance of Mrs. Roberts, and served refreshments in the lecture room at its conclusion to many who remained despite the lateness of the hour. The ushers were the Misses Jabel Glass, Lulu Harris, Lulu Hargevel, Lorraine Hill, Elisse Hunter; Levert Finney, Annie King, Ruby Pickena, Belle Tobia, Sadella Ten Eyck, Bertha Williams and Edith Williams. At 10 o'clock Thursday evening, March 29, the Lincoln Musical Club will broadcast several groups of songs from station WABC, N. in connection with a Lincoln program in interest of the university's endowment fund campaign. Dr. E. P. Roberts, president of the Alumni Association, and a member of the board of trustees, and Dr. W. G. Alexander, one of the campaign directors, will give short talks. Arrangements are being made with the National Broadcasting Co. of New York, and with the Victor Recording Co. of Camden, N. J., to give another radio concert, while on the tour and to record the club's music.

Olivet Church When the Junior Missionary Society of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, Mt. Gladys Thompson, president, presented Rush Ellis Dramatic Reader, in a recital in that church's auditorium on Wednesday evening, March 21, it provided an evening of splendid enjoyment for the audience. Mt. Ellis, in her first offerings, appeared in a gown that seemed to be fashioned of shimmering silver, bespicked with gold with glittering jewels that -ointillated in the spotlight. Thus garbed she read The Pilot's Story," *Rouce-der Hammock*, "Hagar," "I doubt it!" "My dream of the Big Parade," "Brier Rose," and "The Young Musicalist." After a brief inspection, during which Olivey Jeter, assisting plantat, played with delicacy, Chogh's Etude, Op. 25, No. 1. Miss Ellis appeared in somber black and read with effectiveness, "The Maniac." Miss Jeter then played a group of piano numbers which included Coleridge-Taylor's transcription of "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child"; "Song of the Siren," by Hugo Bornn, a young musician-composer who is studying here at the Damrosch Institute of Musical Art, and "Sylvan Pool" by Edwin Francis Hill, another young composer of Philadelphia. Those were played with delightful effect. Then, garbed as an old time southern "Mammy," Miss Ellis gave strikingly a group of Dunbar poems, including "In de morning When dog 'listed Colored Sidler' Accountability" and "Encouragement." The closing number, in guddy garb, was "Zingarella, Gypsy Flower Girl" with musical accompaniment and special lighting effects. Miss Ellis was a creator of varying moods in this number one moment tender and soft, the next dramatically intense. She was given a, most cordial and appreciative reception by her hearers. Miss Ellis is to be heard on Palm Sunday, April 1, in the benefit recital for the Citizen's Christmas Cheer Committee, Inc. at Elks Imperial Auditorium, 160 West 129th street. Henry Ethridge Sings, Countee Cullen Reads A small audience gathered at the Grace Congregational Church, 308 West 139th street, on Friday evening, March 23, to hear Henry Ethridge, dramatic tenor, sing, and Countee Cullen, the distinguished young Negro poet, read from his own books Lydia Mason was at the piano for Mr. Ethridge's songs. The young singer is, or was, a student at Syracuse University, presumably studying singin in the conservatory, in addition to his academic studies. But he has not advanced to any great distance along this line. His vocal offerings exhibit a certain degree of intelligence in selection but such as this reviewer heard were distinctly beyond his artistic ability. The voice is a thing of tremolos and quivers, with a notable inclination to fail to keep the pitch. His tones lack clarity and the enunciation is poor. The redeeming fea- UNITY 1907 .MI-TEE MONA I.

Is this 'evident' earnestness, and to this may be coupled an apparent endeavor to become accemilated in the higher reaches of musical endeavor. But in a group of German lieber, such phrases as could be distinctly heard were possessed of, some Teutonic quality in the matter of pronunciation. Miss Mason's accompaniments were faultless. It was something of interest to hear Countge Cullen read his own poems, but there the interest ended. This brilliant young man, possessed of many other gifts, is lacking histrionically and vocally in the matter of reading his compositions, and so enjoyment of the occasion was somewhat lessened. An unusual, but apparently appreciated innovation, was the passing of solvers of confections among the audience by two charming young ladies, one of whom, I believe, was Miss Olive Mac Thomas. Artists To Appear At Xmas Cheer Bencfit The Palm Sunday afternoon benefit musical recital for Citizens' Christmas Cheer Committee, Inc., Mrs. Mamie L. Briggs, chairman, promises to be of considerable artistic excellence. It will be at Imperial auditorium, 160 West 129th street, at 3:30 p. m. The committee is presenting a young singer new to New York audiences in the person of Miss Elizabeth Sinkford, lyric soprano, a graduate of Oberlin Conservatory present in present foundation's scholarship in the Juliill Foundation's institute of Musical Art, studying under Mrs. Toedt. She has recently returned from a southern trip when she sang at Bennett College for Women, Greensboro, N. C., and informal recital at Fisk University, Nashville, winning great acclaim. Another New York favorite, Miss Ruth Ellis, dramatic reader, will also be presented, and others on the program are Mrs. Jennie F. Gowins, soprano soloist in Salem M. E. Church choir; Francis Kalson, baritone; Jonathan Ragdale, bassist; Hall M. Deacon, choir Master Dean Dixon, a 13-year old violinist who shows remarkable promise. MUSIC NOTES Mrs. J. A. B. Parks, 728 Washington avenue, New Haven, Comm., announces that by reason of many late entries in the New Haven City Eliminating Music Contest the time for receiving entries has been extended to March 31. The New Haven district includes West Haven, Fair Haven and Milford. Jessie Zackery, soprano, -and Andrades Lindaay, pianist, returned to New York Saturday from a three weeks' concert tour in the West, with recitals at Kansas City, Denver and Omaha. They report a most successful trip, with an audience of more than 2,000 in Omaha as a climax on March 20. Mrs. Zackery was given a wonderful ovation in Denver, which is her home city. ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM "Keep Shufflin'," yes, and Joe Jordan will continue to keep suffiling those green or yellow backs on pv nights of the show, despite efforts of somebody to get him shuffle along and out of his conductorship. Joe is not a novice, any-way you take him, and is always on the alert to detect his interests. And as not only the handsome weekly salary, but the privilege of conductor of a Broadway show, was take, Joe acted promptly to protect both. Getting in touch with the proper persons, Joe has succeeded in establishing the fact that his positifion is secured for the life of "Keep Shufflin'." "Umless of course, he commits some overt act. The show is big and varied and there certainly ought to be honor in it for several individuals without conflict. The pity of it is that some human nature is so shortsighted and complex that it will sacrifice the other fellow, with or without thought, to prompt itself in the white man's eye, regardless of unity, cooperation and race pride. "Keep Shufflin'" those yellow backs, Joe. Irwin C. Miller had a show at Lafayette last week. The orchestra was composed of musicians brought Buffalo and John Ruckner who was a leader in the show, to Buffalo to book and bring back the men to New York, Rucker did so. The show worked one week at the Lafayette and the men found themselves far from home and jobless. Whether they were led too believe the show would have a long run at the Lafayette, or that the show would go from city to city, it is not clear. But these men so pestered Rucker that he got them a "gig", and under more prodding Rucker has secured them a steady engagement in Philadelphia. The musicians have approached Mr. Miller but concurred all their energies on poor John. Don't jeopardize yourselves, boys. Carry your cards on the job as requested or advised in every issue of the Union Journal, or suffer the consequences of a fine. E. Cassimore, trombonist, has just been summoned to answer the charge of not having his card. Cassimore was about to play *x* show at the Lafayette. The sergeant-at-arms came to inspect cards. Cassimore had not it, but offered to go home and get it. The sergeant-at-arms, told him to stop at his (sergeant-at-arms) house on the way to play, the night session and show his card. This was agreed. Cassimore failed in his promise. Summoned to the Trial Board, Cassimore pleaded not guilty and made the novel defense that the charge should be dismissed because he was not working when approached by the officer. Old Technicality, where are you going? A Solomon is not necessary to predict the conclusion of this case. Noted in the Journal that Crummal, the singing sax and clarinet player, now and for some months located in Jersey with an orchestra, had been reinstated in Local 802, and could not understand "how come." Now, the story comes that one of his fellow musicians on the job asked one night if any person wanted to pay dues, as he was going to the Union "tomorrow". Crumman said yes, the speaker could pay his dues, and then and there gave him the card and money. Next night, on Crummall's request for his card, he discovered that the volunteer "had not time to the Union" and therefore he was automatically suspended, that being the last day for receipt of dues for the quarter. It cost Crummall $14 to reinstate himself, and you can bet it will be a long time before he trusts anyone to pay dues on the last day of the quarter. No, we have heard of no one in the orchestra having a black eye. Laurinburg, N. C. (Week of March 24) Laurinburg, N. C.—A branch of the Business League was organized in Laurinburg last Tuesday night, Dr. N. E. Jackson is president; Dr. J. A. Moore, first vice-president, Rev. L. L. King, secretary; P. B.

"Why, he is a Pullman porter, who, in addition to running on the road, runs a restaurant in Cambridge, which compares favorably with some of the wellknown restaurants in New York. You should get a story of him and his place for your column," suggested my informer. Following the suggestion, the columna communicated with its Cambridge correspondent regarding the subject, with the result that we are able to give a brief account of the man and his business. The following is what our correspondent writes: "Mr. Alonzo Hilliard is a man whom I would judge to be in his fities, well preserved for one of that age, and is what you would call handome.

Most of this patronage comes from the student body and the faculty of Harvard College, which institution is not very far away.

In fact, its nearness to the college is merely one of its advantages, but like all eating places which cater to persons of discriminating taste, it is the cuisine and service which are mainly responsible for its popularity.

"Despite the fact that he is classed as a successful business man, Mr. Hillard still follows the vocation of Fulman porter. His present run is between Boston and Albany. "As a close up, to this story your correspondent would say this: Any man who creates a business which furnishes employment for fifteen or more persons is a valuable asset to his community.

The Other 3.000 From all reports, and it is conceded by the ending in the Pullman service that this is about 2000 regular porters in the Pullman service, 7,000 about their industrial condition.

From all reports, and it is conceded by those who have official standing in the Pullman service that this is about right, out of the 10,000 regular porters in the Pullman service, 7,000 of them are complaining about their industrial condition. It might occur to the dips interested to ask this question: What about the other 3,000? What do they say? and how do they feel about these conditions? Perhaps we can supply the answer by quoting the opinion of one of the 3,000. The following dialogue gives his idea of the matter: "Hello, John, how are things going with you? It was on Lenox Avenue, one day last week, that the question was asked. "Fine", returned the addressed. "Well", said the first speaker, "how is the agitation among the porters effecting you? "Not one bit", came the reply. "How is that?" continued the questioner. Well," said John. "I'll answer your questions of the passenger who asked me recently. Wrong the porters?"

Mitchell who has been district superintendent of the Poor Terminal District since 1916, has been appointed to the advisory board of the Pullman company and placed in charge of legislation. He has been succeeded by Mr.'R. V. Watson. While all groups in our district regret very much to lose the services of Mr. Mitchell as superintendent, the porters feel that they are more concerned in his attitude towards them and free from race prejudice. He believed in a square deal and an equal opportunity for our group. This is evidenced by the fact that we have presented to the supervisory and physical force here than in any other district. He leaves as a legacy to our group, one investigator, two sign-out clerks, one night clerk, takes the time of more than two thousand employees in Sunny-side yards. Mr. Mitchell took great pride in his district and always insisted that the Penn Terminal District had the most intelligent, best uniformed and the most courteous and the most serviceful of the outstanding characters of Mr. Mitchell has been his humane and benevolent spirit manifested towards the porters. There are countless numbers of porters who will testify that they have been beneficiaries of his libellulities in hours of need and difficulty, who called upon a person he case never failed to respond, and in most cases out of his personal funds. He has been president of the Citizens National Bank in New Brunswick for a number of years and has assisted a great many men of our district in paying off mortgage and other financial difficulties. His credo has been: "I am always willing and will do my utmost to help the man who is trying to help himself. The man who is trying to buy a home and rear a family, has church and fraternity meetings and is helping. He is not only an asset to his community, his race, but to the company as well." Mr. Mitchell entered the Pullman service in 1896 as a telegraph operert, and steadily arose until he became superintendent of the region district in the entire country. He did not believe that the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters would be of any benefit to the porters and was apprehensive that it might do the porters great harm. He predicted that neither the Moffett or the Merger-State Commerce Commission would be of any relief to the Brotherhood. He disapproved of the campaign of slander and vilification carried on by them against some of the best men in the Pullman service. For this he has been bitterly assailed by the Brotherhood His predictions, however, have all come to pass. A testimonial meeting was held in his behalf in the Y. M. C. A. at the Penn. Term. Stitition and he was presented with a $500 diamond ring and a set of golf clubs from the employees of the Penn. Terminal District. The presentation by Mr. Watson, Mr. Mitchell carefully assured the men that he was still with the company, and would be seen in office occasionally and wished success to his successor. News From Penn Terminal Judge Travis, one of the most popular porters in the Penn. Terminal district, died Monday, March 11, after a period of pneumonia. He was confined to two days.

Tribitt, field missionary of the New York State Baptist Convention, delivered an in-depth service of Paradise Baptist Church, 206 West 134th street, on March 25. His text was from Matthew 19:16, subject "Sell Out." The Rev. Tribitt said this church he extends a cordial invitation to the public 16 worship with him. Bridge St. A.M. E. Church "We must realize that the Christian life is a venture and must be willing to leave the shore and venture, on the other side and if our spiritual life is not well founded we leave everything in Christ, our Captain's Hand, we will land safe," declared the pastor, Dr. Edward E. Tyler, during the course of his sermon Sunday morning, March 25. Spirited up by the subject "Religious Compensation." The text was Matthew 19:28-29. He emphasized the point that compensation for the Christian is spiritual kingship in heaven and on earth we will be able to fulfill the duties of mothers, for the motherless and fathers for the fatherless. Other points in the sermon were: It is a fine thing in life to see one who is moral because of his own desire or volition. Many are not rich enough to have mental energy, opportunity, privilege and otherwise, and should be ready to use it for God and we will be repaid. We should be like the investor who builds a rouse without any assurance, of tenants. He builds a house, and it is his size that it is a venture. If his property is all right he will reap his reward. So it is with the Christian. If he builds on the foundations laid by God he will be compensated. Four persons joined the church with him, and they followed the services, the newly elected officers of the Alken League were installed by Dr. James A. Manning. Dean S. Yarrough is the new president. At the vesper services the new officers of the league took their services and conducted a very interesting, meeting. At the evening hour the pastor filled the pulpit. He spoke on the subject, "An Unfortunate Predicament." The text was St. Luke 24:15-16. D. Tyler stressed the thought that many are afflicted with mental, moral or spiritual blindness, and have no respect for personality. Just as the men in the text failed to see Jesus because He appeared in an obscure manner, many have no opportunity to render Christian service. In every person there is a touch of divinity and we should seek to have an open vision, and open mind and a responsive hear. Thus we miss the sad position of position of ministering in the midday until the afternoon the members of Ruth Mite Missionary Society held missionary forum. Mrs. Bertha Cook was in charge of the program. Among the speakers were Mrs. P. A. Wallace with of Bishop Wallace and Mrs. F. Zion Church, and Mrs. B. A. Cole.

It will be given under the auspices of the Young Men's Usher Board. The flowers in the pulpit were in memory of Mrs. Alice G. Love, and she is by her daughter, Miss Alberto Love. $100 was given the church from the estate of the late Mrs. Fanny Burrow.

I would get very nervous, did not rest well at night, and did not feel like eating. "I had heard so much of Cardui, I sent for a bottle and took it regularly. I felt better, and I wondered why I hadn't tried it before. I took 6 bottles at that time, and there was such a big change in my condition. I felt so much better, and did not have the weakness, and am now well." Try Cardui. All druggists. CARDUI Help Women to Health UNDERTAKERS UNDERST Office Phone Harlem 1394 Evelyn B.
