POLICE NAB FIVE STICK-UP BANDITS IN NEST CLUB --- Mississippi's Lily-Whites Fight On National Committeman Howard Believed Acquiesced In By Hoover Persistent Efforts By Sheldon, Former Governor of Nebraska, To Eliminate Negro Is Thought To Be a Hoover Manouver By. 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. 'loover vs. Lowden assacres here fail to so how it will be possible for the southern regular delegations to withdraw from Hoover to Louisiana in Kansas City, when the southern leaders there have many believe Bye-bye, Blackbird," will Republican National Convention June according to all has a rumor persisted secretary Hoover have been being to do.is to get Hoover things else shall be addl Hoover for Republican the motivating reason for selecting "imcrowm Kansas City as con- nomination was to facilitate elimination of the potent Africa. 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." How To Vote In Primary April 3 How To Vote In Primary April 3 In answer to numerous inquiries as to the method of voting for delegates to the Republican, National Convention and State Committee men in the 19th A. D., in the forthcoming Primary on April 3, the informational page tells the voters can write in the name of ANY ENROLLED REPUBLICAN they may favor for the position of delegates or for state committee.

Embree, president of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, that Mr. Rosenwald will give dollar for dollar up to $25,000 raised from other sources. The fund must be completed within three months. John D. Rockfeller jr. has written President Jones accepting an invitation to deliver the commencement address on June 14. Mr. Jones wrote a letter of acceptance, "My interest in the colored race and in the problems which it involves is urging me to say yes. Because of the splendid work which you are doing at Fisk University, and your accomplishment, this institution gives promise of being an instrumentality of wide-spread service to the whole colored race. I am yielding to my impulses and disregarding my judgement and my proficiency in the administration." Letters of commendation have recently been received by President Jones from President Angell of Yale University; Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick of the University of Chicago, and Chancellor Kirkland of Vanderbilt University, Nashville.

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.

Mrs. Lyles had been separated from her husband for four years, according to the police, and she was taken to Harriss and his sweetheart had just returned home from the show when they got into an argument over his going to see another girl.

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.

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.

One, he said, wil be the shaping of ‘the episcopal sees, in case the vacancies im the Council are filled by the electon oi 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 thi will mean that eack one must. be given a district that is in conson- ance wig: his physical abihues This will possibly precipitate some scheming and wire-pulling for the bishops now heading large ‘and prosperous conierences will hardly want to see these conier- ences given to sume other young: ex bishop.

M. E, dion Church Friday evening, March 23. The debate was held un- der 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 fife.” Columbia University, represented by Afwald Visch, Wilham — Mat- thew and Byral Levy, had the affirm- ative side ot the question. It was maintained by these speakers — that the press of the country, especially the tabloid newspapers, capitalize and emphasize the sensational clements in the happenings of the day and thus present a distorted view of n- cidemts as they occur. The Evening Graphic and Daily Marror of New York were mentioned 25 examples of this type of newspaper. Tt was also contended by the affirmative speakers that the press 1s a slave to politics and controlled hy partisan: ship. The negate side of the question was represented by A Maceo Smith of Alpha Phi Alpha, George W Goodman of Omega Psi Phi. and Eugene Corbie of Kappa Alpha Pst. The negative speakers contended thal the press of the country is a pub- fic utility and render a public ser- vice. Like the theatre, the press prospers on catering to the whims of the reading public ut unlike the theatre ig severely penalized when 1 goes beyond the bounds of good taste in presenting the happenings of the day. Numerous examples of the service the press genders in expos- ing corruption, etc, were cited It was conceded that the press is a hu- man institution, and i< therefore imperfect but that the good it dors far outweighs the bad There were 20 judges and all she speakers were roundly applanded for the eloquent manner in which they presented their subject.

The tatter consideredgthe killing of the Mivsernor's Meastres & prov? of the tach ‘of wisdom of the legislators. ‘I'he Citis zens Union came nearer a fair judgment cf the recent session by characterizing it as a whole ag unproductive, Mensures acted upon of vital concern to New York City included the bill for the reorganization of the municipal courts, a gradegtossing act, amendments to the water supply get, extension of the emergency rent laws and the institution of a system of central registration for voters Even the emergency rent lay extension was so framed that it may fail to give any further protection t6 the ten- ants, as the commission decided that the emergency had passed, owing’ to the in- crease of housing accommodation. The killing of the four year term for Govern- or. which was advocated as a Republican measure last year, was a reversal of form too sudden to be justified. 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 oi county government, for the reliet of working men and women and other im: portant matters were killed beaause oi partisan bias. ‘The new housing measure for New York City was among the mea- sures which failed of favorable consider: ation. The Governor has thirty days to deal with the hundreds of measures enacted inty law, many of which are of trivial unportance und should not require legis. lative action, Among the more import ant meastfes of local concern is the bill for the reorganization of the municipa courts. + AFRICAN VIEW OF LYNCHING. ‘The Gold Coast ‘Times is an independ- ent prgan of public opinion published on Saturdays at Cape Coast, West Africa. Jt claims to circulate in all parts of the country of the Gold Coast and in parts of Nigeria, which ig-tinder British con- trol, It is outspoken in its criticism o the failure of the colomal policy to work for native development in industries and education, In its issue of February 11. it published a brief article on the lessen- ing of lynching in the United States, up- ‘on which it Lased an editorial consider- ing lynching as a phase uf white civili zation.” Starting with the not unwarranted as- sumption that “this form of mob rule still prevails in the land of the Stars and Stripes.” the West Coast editer noted the iact that the lynching of twenty-one persons m one year was regarded as an improvement on the previous year's re- cord of thirty-four. \y that, he could not see what comfort peuple will derive irom comparing the figures, “since in our view nothing short of the total suppres: sion of this barbaric practice can be jus tified as an impgovement.” ‘To enable his African readers to understand the position clearly, the editor stated, “that in America a mob has it in its power té seize any black man in the street ar oth: er plice, or even ty invade his promises and to drag him out, on the mere sus. picion of murdes or attempted murder, ‘or of improper relations with a white woman, and to tic him to a stoke or post and burn him alive and escape punish: ment for taking the Jaw into its own hands " ‘This 16 a pretty accurate and compre: hensive idea of lynching as it 1s practicec in the United States, although it failed to inelude the more frivolous pretext: advanced to justify mob excesses, ‘The West African editor credited the Unitec States with the distinetion of harboring this form of mob rule, as he had nc knowledge of its prevailing in any othe part of the wotld, not even in Africa We are not’ xo sure about this, as the Roer rule of the natives in South Africs lid not stop short of killing and torture although it may not have taken on the festal and bestial dettils common te lynching in certain Southern communi ties. And the Boers were descendant: of white Europeans. So seriously does this African editor regard the lynching evil that he questions THE NEW:YURK AGE- whether the United States -is ds-enlight- ened as it is said to be, since it cannot maintal law and order within Its qwn borders. He seeks: an oxplanation of the inconfistency“in the psychology of. the white races, whigh reveals bs European code of morality not“corresponding to At- rican 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 con- cern to the Intter. “So, he concludes, what~the African regards gy ingstuging his code of morolity may not appeal to the white man in tle same light. This kind of reasoning may account for the failure of the South Carolina authorities to punish such crimes as the Aiken butch- ery. The African writer makes this forc- ible comparison : Nothing delights, white pdbple. as when . they are inanting calives with having in the past indulged in human sacrifices, or in can- nibalism, thongh as to the Ritter we are quite sure that no white man had actually seen natives feeding on human fiesh. Yet’ while condemning human sacrifices ip Africa, a1 practised in the past, with the ‘alleged can- nibalism as barbarous, white civilisation looks on with. complacancy the roasting o! human beings alive in the United States, 2 reputedly Christian country. There can, 0! course be no difference in the degree of en: oimity between “sacrificing a human being and burning him alive, except that the for- mer practice was attributed to Africans anc the other is still practised by white people. One of the pretexts for the annexation of Ashanti by the. British was that the natives indulged in. human sacrifices; and we can be sure that if lynching were practised in any part of the Continent to-day it would be made the ground for organising a punitixe eapedition against the tribes concerned Slavery in Abyssinia is an-abomination to the white people, and quite deservedly so; but Negroes in America may de free, only they can be lynched. If the moral concepts of the white race correspond to those Of the-blach race, all the white mations will raise theis yoices in a prolonged protest against lynch: ing in America until the white clemen 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 dispas sionate manner in which this African ed: itor views the psychology of the whites But there are too many elements com dined in the practice and_ toleration o lynching in the South to be.readily an alyzed. However the predominant fac: tor af such savagery in America as is Africa is probably the same, fear. As < student of Southern sociology once con cluded, the South oppresses the Negrc because he is the sole object of its feat and hatred. The great need of the Soutt is to remove its fears and to divide its hatred. DIVERSIFIED 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 serv: ice is overdone with the result tha beauty will become commonplace «an¢ Permanent waves will present the mo notony 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 ex: penses and produce larger earnings ior the operators and firoprictors. What is needed, acording to heen ob: servers, are more sinall shops for the sale of shoes, inen’s furnishings and other ar tucles that are necessary to the comfor and equipment of the male and female who have to make a decent appearance while un the job. The fact that establish: ments of this sort have been started and after a lingering existence have faded ow for lack of patronage, is not regarded a: disproving they are not needed, or tha undor more favorablé auspices that the} might thrive and prosper. It is essentia that they should cater to a want that i felt, and which they can supply to th satisfaction of their customers. For without cutomers no business can sur vive at least very long. Diversify the trades and the variety o shops and Harlem will feel < new im: petus to home industries, Consolidat the beauty parfors along the lines of th banks and the dividends will be greater Any change will be for the better, a stagnation is death to any business. A BELATED INDICTMENT. Aiter two and oe half years Welay, HI. 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 Yo death.

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.

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.

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. These boys have played very good basketball the entire season, and are holders of a clean slate. St. Barnabas won second place, while Fleet Street took third. 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.

B. P. O. Elks of the World. The one aim of this aggregation of stalwarts seems to be a genuine desire to please its followers and well-wishers, a laudable ambition. Not only in thirth city in which Monarch Lodge is a many sided asset, but on foreign shores where the grand lodge session is held each year, its famous band and its well dressed parade unit, always invite the admiration and approbation of all beholders. Among all groups this lodge and its band have become national institutions. A splendid program has been devised for the occasion by the committee. Monarch band will play and broadcast popular and classical music during the first hour. Prizes for special features will be presented by J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler and his staff, members of which will be present from as far west as California, and as far south as New Orleans. These prizes, donated by Monarch Lodge and carefully selected by the committee are on exhibition at the Monarch home. Among the box holders are some of the most distinguished personages in the metropolitan and outlying area.

The Alhambra Players will take their place in the regular program besides the musical comedy revue and the motion picture, and all without any increase in the Alhambra's price of admission. Evelyn Preer, who gained fame in David Belasco's "Lulu Belle" and also brought fame to "Rang Tang" will be the leading woman. Edward Thompson will be the handsome, and gifted leading man. J. Lawrence Criner, hated for his "villain roles and loved for his delightful personality, has been engaged, as well as Charles H. Moore, who played the title part in "Meek Mose" this season at the Princess Theatre downtown. Susie Sutton, the favorite of Harlem, has given up plans for a season with her own troupe, and versatile Alice Gorgas has also joined the remarkable cast. "The Panther" is a drama of tangled lives. Three women of various ages are drawn by a human spider into the silvery web he has woven. But retribution, stern and merciless, comes to the man without a conscience. Appropriate settings are under way in the Alhambra's workshops. On account of the larger programs beginning Monday, the Alhambra's hour for opening will be advanced to 1 p. m. Unknown Colored Actress Scores Hollywood Hit Unknown Colored Actress Scores Hollywood Hit From Zit's Theatrical Newspaper, March 24. Hollywood, Cal. A hitherto unknown colored actress with a strange Oriental history, as well as Oriental name, scored and overwhelming dramatic success here this week. The name of this colored Duse, as she may be referred to presently, is Madame Sul Tul Wan. And the outstanding historic exhibition occurred at the Music Box Theatre, where she appeared in support of Bessie Barricale, featured in "Women Go on Forever." This is the underworld-boarding house play in three acts by Daniel N. Rubin, which Brady and Wiman produced in New York last year, and which George Sherwood has now produced in Hollywood. 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.

The Musical Magpies are solitting the week with Reading and Doulstown, Pa. with Philadelphia and New York to follow. ry. Mess Sul Te Wan stated. 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!

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.

The banquet was given by Mr. Alonzo Hilliard, a veteran porter in the Pullman service, and a successful restaurant owner of Cambridge, ‘The affair was held at his place. ‘several weeks after fhe event, this writer ran acreoss one of the quis who had Been present, and he said, “Say, I was at that recemt fanquet which was given for Perry Parker in Boston and it was as nice an aflait ax I have ever attended, ‘That man Hillisrd is @ great fellow," he added. P = ‘Who is Hilliard?” he was asiced. "Why, he ia a Pallman porter, who, in addition ¢o running on the yoad, runs a restaurant In Cambridge, which compares favorably with ome of the wellknown restaurants in New York. You should get a siory of him and his place for your column,” suggested my inform en. Following the suggestion, the columa communicated with its Cembeidge correspondent regarding the subject, with the result rhat we are able to give a brief account of the man and his business, The following, is what our corfespondent writes: “Mr, Alonzo Hilliard is a man whom I would judge to be in bis fifties, well preserved for one of that age, and is what you would call handsonte. His face denotes strength. His complexion is a rich brown and he bas sharp penetrating eyes, which seem to bore through you when they are turned directly on you. But they are not repellent tyer by any means. They are simply ees that denote a firm bit pleas- ing personality. "sfr, Hilliard’s family consists of himself, wife and two sons, aged 18 and 20, ceapectively, Both boys are students at Harvard College. The family lives ia an imposing brown stone house in this city, which is family owned. Mrs, Hilliard who has contributed in no little way to the success of her husband, bas been compelled by recent iliness to shacken her activites in her husband's restaurant business. This buriness, which was started not more than cight year ago, is a con- crete example of what aman may do, if he has the nerve and intelli- gence tosry: 9 ; : “Eight years ago, while casting about for prospective possibitikics for an eating place site, Mr. Hilliard settled upo the spot where be is now loetted, which is No. 1613 Massachusetts avenue. Choosing this site proved to be fortunate venture. The restaurant bas grown steadily in patronage, until it is serving daily from eight to nine bun- dred persons. Most of this patronage comes from the student body and the facuky of Harvard College, which institution is rot very far away. “The place's convenience and accesmbility to these patrons, how- ever, 15 not the sole reason for its succéss In fact,.ite nearness to the cgflege is merely one of its advantages, but like all eating places, which cater to persons of discriminaung taste, 1t is the cuisice and service which are mainly responsible for ste popularity. “As Mr. Hilliard’s business has grown, be has bad tie foresight to maintain, equip and furnish his place accordingly. First, he has given considerably study to the help question by retaining competent afl of workers, Secoydly, all his culinary appliances are modern equipment, These include clectric stoves for roasting and baking, ay well as other up-to-date appliances and otensils for the cooking and catering of foodstuffs, In decorative appointments,, the place is on a par with the most of the popular restaurants of the beiter clase. “Despite the fact that he is classed asa successful business man, Mr. Hilliard still follows the vocation of Pullman porter.

While this suggestion is vot likely to be taken seriously by any porter, yet such a course of conduct on the part of the porters would prove to the public that they are at least sincere in their contentions regarding lips in lieu of wages, On this subject, Mr. Condy writes: “The porters had just as well begin now as later to disabuse them- stives of the idea of that $150 per month, wages, If and when the job of Pullman porter becomes so good as to pay that sort of money, Ne- sroes will not be filling it.

What do they say? and how do they feel about these conditigns? Perhaps we ‘a0 supply the answer by quoting the opinion of one of the 3000. The following dialomue gives his idea of the matter: “Mello, John jhow are things going with You?
