No. 30 NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1928 5 CENTS IN U.S.A. (TEN CENTS FOREIGN LAND) Postmaster General Harry S. New Declares Charge That Bob Church Asked Money For Office Is False Recites History of Appointment of Memphis Postmaster, Stating That Church Worked To The Last For Tom Taylor, Who Lost Washington, D. C.—Postmaster General Harry S. New has come to the defense of Robert R. Church of Memphis, Tenn., by declaring that the ousting of G. Tom Taylor as the Memphis postmaster was due entirely to the opposition of Senator of Senator K. D. McKellar, and that Church had worked for Taylor to the end. Congressman J. Will Taylor, said Mr. New, is referee for Tennessee, and both the congressman and Church were loyal and staunch supporters of Tom Taylor, who had been recommended by the congressman for the position. J. Will Taylor and Church did more for Tom Taylor than any two men ever did for any man seeking a postmastership, declared the Postmaster General. "Now I see that Tom Taylor is trying to blame Church, which is ungrateful. I don't believe Bob Church ever, asked, a nickel from Tom Taylor, or any one else," he contended. and that is the best I can do. I see that even the newspapers at Memphis are making insinuations about me and that Seches and G. Tom Taylor are making charges. I can't help what they say. What I have been telling you is the TRUTH about the Memphis post-office." CLERGY TO BAR CLARENCE DARROW FROM CHURCHES Amazing Poole's Charge. The Postmaster General was answering the charge made by G. H. Poole, a white man of Memphis, as told in a telegraph dispatch from Washington in last week's Age, that Church had offered to sell Poole's postal ownership at Memphis. Poole's charge was contained in an affidavit filed with Postmaster General Secretary Harwood, Republican leader of Western Tennessee. Mr. New gave a detailed recital of the facts connected with Tom Taylor's failure to land the postoffice job after President Coolidge had twice his name to the Senate, where Senator McCuller's objections ruled him out. He declared Tom Taylor's charge that Church had deserted him is "conspicuously ungrateful and murine." He said that Tom Taylor "was neither very good nor very bad, and there was no reason why any special effort should have been made to retain him. Didn't Ask Church. When it came time to appoint a postmaster, I. Will Taylor recommended G. Tom. "New continued," I. Will is referee for Tennessee and his recommendation is accepted. The appointment, of course, pleased Bob Church, but I do not ask Church for recommendations. I ask Will Taylor. "What happened in the Civil Service Commission I am not con- cerned with. They put G. Tom on the eligible list, and that is their reason. I understand he always ad an eligible grade but was not among the three highest until a named Rugge withdrew. I asked President Coolidge to appoint G. Tom and he did. Then I learned that Senator K. D. McKellar opposed him. At the su- cession of I. Will and Church I persuaded the president to with- hold Tom's name. Senator McKellar called me and objected, and I hold him with the withdrawal was imposed. I never attended for long, because President Coolidge cannot afford to keep a postmaster in office until he has been confirmed to the Senate. I went to Florida, and when I came back Senator McKellar was demanding that G. Tom's name be resubmitted. This demand was recorded by Senator Dale, chair- man of the Senate civil service committee and other officials. Name Rezubmitted. I asked I Will Taylor if he had been able to persuade McKellar to withdraw his opposition, and he said he had not. All I could do was to recommend to the president that G. Tom's name he resubmitted I dd this despite objections from J. Will Taylor and Church. After G. Tom was ousted I asked Will Taylor to recommend to me some outstanding business man in Memphis whose appointment would end all this trouble. Will Taylor recommended Fd Sheely and I appointed him. Nothing has been said about Sheely promising anything to money to bodies, has there? Senator McKellar said he was alright, Senator McKellar said I will know anything about Harwood or this George Polee in their charges and it will concern Sheely anyhow. I have asked the department of justice to investigate their charges and that is the best I can do. I see that even the newspapers at Memphis are making insinuations about me and that Seches and G. Tom Taylor are making charges. I can't help what they say. What I have been telling you is the TRUTH about the Memphis post-office." CLERGY TO BAR CLARENCE DARROW FROM CHURCHES Washington, D. C. The Inter-denominational Ministerial Alliance of America composed of ministers, may in a four-day session here the past week, according to the printed program, for the purpose of fostering amicable relationship between the races, but it appears that they accomplished everything but that. Most of the time was spent in trying to determine who among them knew the most about Roberts' Rules of Parliamentary Law. They failed to pass a resolution introduced by Rev. A. C. Garner, indoors and giving a sympathetic vote to the strike activities of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in their effort to gain for the members of the Brotherhood a living wage and better working conditions on the ground that they had heard only one side of the question. One loud speaking brother of the cloth said that he would not be prepared to work in the re-election presented until they had hung the Pullman Company there so that he could hear both sides. He admitted that he knew nothing about the activities of the Brotherhood, and would have to be enlightened on the subject, and until that was done the would oppose the resolution. The Alliance passed a resolution introduced by Rev. Waltter H. Brooks, pastor 19th Street Baptist Church, to close all churches represented by the members of the Alliance to Clarence Darrow, and any other public speaker who is an agnostic or atheist. It was brought to the attention of the Alliance that Clarence Darrow is planning to make public addresses throughout the country in the interest of the N. A. A. C. P. Officers, elected by the Alliance for the net year are Dr. C. L. Russell, president; W. A. Gravy R. A. Grant, J. W. Robinson Md. R. Geary, W. H. Jernagin, William A. Byrd, Ernest J. Lyon, vice presidents; H. T. Medford, permanent secretary; A. T. Taylor, assistant secretary; G. H. Randolph, corresponding secretary; M. C. Strachau, assistant corresponding secretary; J. C. Olden, chairman of the executive committee. Two Negro Students Attain High Honors At Rutgers College New Brunswick, N. J.—The Alpha Chapter of the Phil Beta Kappa Fraternity at Rutgers College has honored two Negro members of the senior class by electing them members of this organization. The only other Negro student so honored here was Paul Rohsen of the class of 1919. The two new members of this fraternity are Rueben McDaniel and Weaver Howard, both of whom have maintained the highest scholastic standard and are popular with all classes of the student body. ST. PAUL MEAT CUTTERS WIN 'JIM CROW' FIGHT Plant Manager Rescinds Order For Separate Dressing Rooms St. Paul, Minn.—Colored butchers and meat cutters who walked out of a St. Paul packing plant several weeks ago, after the management had set apart a "jim crow" dressing room for them, are back at work following a resounding of the objectionable order by the manager. J. Lewis Irwin, one of St. Paul's colored attorneys, a member of the St. Paul local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., called attention of the packing plant management to the Minnesota law and threatened to file suit against both management and plant. The resounding order quickly followed. All of the men are back except the two who were leaders in the strike walkout. There were three or four Mexicans in the group that resented the discriminatory order, but what hurt them was that they were classed as "Negroes" and not as whites. Attorney Irwin's action is declared to have spiked the guns of industries in the Northwest in the matter of attempting segregation and separation of the races. NEGROES CHIEF VICTIMS WHITE ACCIDENT LAWYER Hearing On Ambulance Chasing Exposes Alty. Oberstein The public hearing on "ambulance chasing" lawyers who specialize in accident cases on a 50-50 basis, has disclosed the fact that many victims of this type of unscrupulous lawyer were Negroes. This was especially true of the practice of Abraham Oberstein, specialist in accident cases, as brought out before Judge Wasservorel on Tuesday. More than 50 witnesses, most of whom were colored, testified as to how he handled claims for them and in most cases defrauded them out of the money. Among the charges were several that the signature to releases of ten clients had been forged, as well as the endorsement on a number of checks. James Alonzo of 68 West 13th street testified that his little boy, Samuel, 6 years old, had been struck by an automobile in June, 1926. A day or two after the accident, the Rev. Ben Johnson, a colored preacher, recommended the services of Oberstein as a good lawyer to handle the case. Mr. Alonzo and his wife went to Oberstein's office, signed some papers and turned the case over to him on a 50-50 basis. From that day until last Thursday, Alonzo testified that he or his wife had not seen Oberstein nor heard from him. Thursday he came to the Alonzo apartment and tried to persuade Alonzo to accept a check for $135 dated December 16, 1927. Oberstein to Quit Law. But the colored man refused to have anything to do with the check because the date was wrong and because he had received a paper summoning him to appear before Judge Wasservogel to relate his dealings with the accident attorney, Isadore J. Kiesel, acting on behalf of the Bar Association, then introduced as evidence two checks drawn on the Travelers Indemnity Company, for $135 and $65, dated December 16, 1927, and indorsed "Rose Alonzo, guardian ad litem for Samuel Alonzo." An insurance company release was signed by "Samuel Alonzo, father of Samuel Alonzo." Alonzo testified that not only had neither he nor his wife signed the papers and indorsed the checks, but that neither of them could write their names. Further Indemnity brought out the fact that Attorney Oberstein paid commission to several people in Hawaii to get cases for him and that none of his Harlem clients were given a square deal. The hearing was continued on Wednesday. In the meantime Oberstein has announced his withdrawal from the practice of law and his resignation from the New York Bar. ASK COURT TO BAN JIM CROW RULE IN WEST VA. LIBRARY Charleston, W. V.—Colored citizens here are asking the Kanawha Circuit Court for a writ of mandamus to compel the Board of Education to rescind a rule recently passed barring colored people from using the main public library located in the former Capitol annex. This action was taken by the Board on December 13, when a resolution was adopted declaring that "inasmuch as the Board has provided Garnett Branch Library for their exclusive use, they must use such library instead of the Charleston Public Library." The Board, on February 21, in considering a letter addressed to that body by Attorney T. G. Nutter, reaffirmed this action, and passed an additional resolution making the main library a part of the public school children and citizens school children and citizens solely and making the same designation for the Garnett Branch Library for colored school children and citizens only. Attorneys Nutter and C. E. Kimbrough presented the petition to the court and Judge A. P. Hudson granted an alternative writ directing the Board of Education to appear on April 5 and show cause why the mandanus prayed for should not be allowed by the court. The petition sets forth the history of the library and branches, declaring that they are public libraries established and maintained by taxes paid on all property in the district, and that all libraries and inhabitants of the district are entitled to full and free use thereof. It is further set forth that there are about 7,000 Negroes in the Charleston independent school district, and that they are required to pay large sums for support and maintenance of the library from which they are now barred by action of the Board of Education. The opinion is expressed that in so doing the Board is violating Section 1 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, as well as certain sections of the Constitution of West Virginia. John D. Hadwin, Well Known New Yorker, Has 73rd Birthday John D. Hadwin, Well Known New Yorker, Has 73rd Birthday Monday, April 2, was a red letter day for John D. Hadwin of 318 West 138th Street, whose home is at Red Bank, New Jersey, for on that da he celebrated his 73rd birthday, and it marked the occasion for his friends to tender all sorts of tokens of remembrances and congratulations, both in Harlem, where he is one of the best known and most popular figures, and in the office of The New York World where he has been appointed to the business office on forty-five years. Mr. Hadwin was born in St. Louis Mo. on April 2, 1855, but has lived most of his life in New York City. He is a member of many fraternal organizations, and he long served as treasurer of the Southern Beneficial League. During his New York career he has enjoyed many distinctions, one of them being that he was the only Negro the late Mayor Gaynor ever named to any civic position, having appended Mr. Hadwin as a member of the Committee for a Safe and Sane 4th of July. His associates in the World office covered his desk with flowers. Easter bunies ad other tokens of their friendship and esteem, and his Harlem friends are overwhelming him with expressious of esteem and good will. Incidentally Mr. Hadwin is as hale and hearty as men many years younger. E. E. Williams Ordered To Pay Wife $15. Alimony And $200 Counsel Fees E. E. Williams Ordered To Pay Wife $15. Alimony And $200 Counsel Fees On March 23 Justice Ford, in the court directed Ernest E Wiliams of 174 West 141st street to pay his wife, Etta Gregg Williams, $15 per week alimony and allowed $200 counsel fees pending a suit for separation. About a year ago, Mr. Williams brought an action against his wife for absolute divorce. At the trial in this action Mrs. Williams was proved innocent of the charges made against her by her husband and thus won the divorce case. She was represented in both the divorce action and the suit for separation by Attorney I Douglass Wetmore of 1440 Broadway. Washington, Colored wage-earners in Houston, Texas, have been informed by the City Engineer that white men ONLY will be permitted to do the work on the building in which the National Democratic convention will meet, next June. This announcement closely followed the beating up by white Democrats of an enthusiastic Houston Negro Democratic because he wore a "Me Too" button on the lapel of his coat. These buttons are being sold in Houston for the purpose of raising money with which to entertain the delegates, but when Alphonse Mills, a colored newspaper man, joined the "Me Too" ranks and proudly strutted his stuff down Millan street, he almost created a riot. The white Democrats got through beating him, him, his phone has modestly declined all invitations to again appear in public with his button. In commenting upon the incident the Freeman says: "As a rule, Democrats, as partisans, always make asses of themselves, at the right time, and such breaks as cutting Negroes for wearing as 'cutting' buttons, together with Governor Moboy's break, will enable some long-headed 'Republican' to win in a walk and with hands down." BROOKLYN MAN KILLED BY COPS NOT A BANDIT Saturday morning, March 31, all the New York City daily papers reported that Eugene Brooks, a Negro, 33 years of age, had been killed by four policemen in the Brownville section of Brooklyn, following an attempted holdup. The police charged that Brooks was armed and fired back when they fired in the air in an effort to halt him but an investigation by The Age shows that the charges made by the police are far from true. According to neighbors and eye witnesses of the shooting, which occurred at 1752 Prospect place, next door to the house in which Brooks his wife lived the desk man was not burglar or hold-up man, but a hard-working longshoreman who had become mentally unbalanced over religion. Members of Mr. Lebanon Baptist; Church, where Brooks attended services last Wednesday evening, report that he acted peculiarly And on Thursday, after working all day as a longshoreman, he aroused the neighbors in the house in which he lived by preaching in the hallway of the building. Friday he worked a half day and again created a disturbance by trying to preach in the apartment building. Someone called up the police station and when Patrolman John Lee arrived, the crazy man resisted attempts to arrest him and ran away. Three other policemen, joined in the chase and began firing at him. He was chased into the basement of 1752 and there they shot him to death. When searched the policemen were unable to find a pistol or any other weapon on his person, although they reported he had fired at a neighbor. Protested against the unnecessary brutality on police, in this instance, he was threatened with arrest. The protests of this kind were so general, that reserves had to be called to quiet the neighborhood. According to a report, Brooklyn citizens are planning to protest to the Police Commissioner over the action of the police in this case Abyssinian Church Raises $172 For Suffering Miners The most liberal offering yet given in Harlem to aid the families of striking miners in Pennsylvania and Ohio, was taken as an after collection* at the morning service of the Alyssinian Baptist Church, the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor, on account of $172 and the offering amount this week to Miss Grace Campbell and her committee for relief work in the mining districts. James LeColt Chestnut, New York representative of the Baltimore Afro-American, died early Tuesday morning, April 3, following an operation for appendicitis at the Brooklyn Hospital. Mr. Chestnut was stricken ill suddenly about the middle of last week and taken to the hospital. He was operated on Monday, March 26. His death was a shock to a host of friends. He was a native of Washington D. C., and a graduate of the public schools of that city and Amherst College at Amherst. Mass. He gave up teaching to go into newspaper work in Washington as the Representative of the Chicago Defender in that city, and was largely responsible for the rapid growth that paper had in the Capitol several years ago. He did such good work that this paper promoted him and transferred him to supervision of their New York City circulation. About three years ago he severed his connection with the Defender and decided to retire from the newspaper business, establishing a Business Credit Bureau in New York City, but newspaper him and took a fascination for him so he could not remain out long coming back as the New York representative of the Baltimore paper. His recent series of articles reminiscent of Negro athletes who became famous in white colleges in years gone by attracted wide attention. Mr. Chestnut is survived by the widow, Mrs. Margaret Johannes Chestnut, two daughters, Annie Lance and Catherine Elizabeth 11 and 12 years old, respectively, and his parents, the Rev. and Mrs. James Chestnut of Washington, who came to withhold his life. Funeral services were held from the home, 157 Bainbridge street, Brooklyn, on Friday at 2 p. m. Burial will be under direction of Understaker A. L. Martin.

Ebenezer Ray, linotype operator in the printing department of The New York Age, proved a friend indeed by giving his blood a aid Mrs. Henry Estwick of 968 St. Nicholas avenue, at the Woman's Hospital, 109th street and Columbus avenue, Friday, March 30. Mrs. Estwick went to the hospital early last week for an operation, but her blood was in such poor condition the doctors decided to build her up before operating. To do this in a short time, a blood transfusion was decided on and an appeal was made among the young woman's friends for someone to volunteer their blood. Mr. Ray offered his blood and the transfusion took place Friday morning. Lieut. Wesley Williams, Only Negro Officer In New York Fire Fighting Forces, Wins Praise For Brave Lieut. Wesley Williams, of No. 55 Engine- pany, the only Negro officer in the New York Department won high praise for his work and of the men under him at a fire in the five-story building at 472 Broadway, near Grand street, Saturday morning, March 31. Twice during the hot, smoky or- deal while they were working at the bottom of the stairs in the basement, they were almost all "out" when ordered to the street to recover. Both times the com- mander and men of No. 55 had re- fused to leave the post to which they had been assigned until Depu- tory Chief Helm ordered them out. The fire started between floor of a restaurant on the floor and the ceiling of the ment. Some of the firemen was one of the smokiest they had had in a dozen.

Is Stricken With Pneu- monia; Is Better Chicago, Ill.-Edward H. Morris, Grand Master of Odd Fellows, became sick at his home, 5355 Michigan avenue, Thursday, March 22, 1928. A few days later his illness was diagnosed as pneumonia. From the beginning he has been under the constant care of two specialists and two trained nurses. His condition grew steadily worse, and became alarming to those in attendance, and remained dangerously unpromising until Wednesday, March 28, when a gradual turn for the better somewhat relieved the anxiety of his family and friends. At the time of this writing (April 2) improvement in the grand master's condition has become more marked, but he is not regarded as being wholly out of danger. To those near the grand master, the news of his sudden illness as a distinct shock, for in the same week in which he was stricken he had attended the meeting of the monthly board of the Committee of Management. He arrived in Philadelphia about 6 o'clock Sunday evening. March 18, being met at the Broad Street Station by Editor H. P. Slaughter, the two being later on joined at the hotel by Grand Treasurer A. T. Shirley and Major General Laret W. Ford (retired). The grand master, on Monday, March 19, presided at the board meeting. During his brief stay in Philadelphia he was apparently in the best of health and spirits. He left Philadelphia Monday evening, March 19, arriving in Chicago the following afternoon, about 5 o'clock BALTIMORE LAD IS AVIATION STUDENT AT CURTISS FIELD Stanley Smith Starts A 10 Hour a Day Course To Learn Flying The second Negro ever to receive flying training at Curtiss Field, L. I., and the first to fly there in ten years, according to M. M. Merrill, field manager, began the novice's work - your - way through ten-hour course, on Monday, April 2. He is Stanley M. Smith of Baltimore, who was referred to Merrill by Major Howard C. Davidson of Bolling Field, Washington, when he applied there for army training. Smith will work as a mechanic in the Curtiss hangars until he is familiar enough with planes and motors to be allowed flight training. The "ten-hour course" will require at least three months. Bessie Coleman learned to fly at Curtiss Field a decade ago Merrill said, but there have been no others of her race until the advent of Smith. The fire started between the floor of a restaurant on the floor and the ceiling of the room. Some of the firemen was one of the smokiest they had had in a dozen. For three hours they had holes in tiling and tear aient timbers to get to the flare. So many of them suffered smoke, the Rescue Company Lt. WESLEY WILLIAMS. Shows his mettle in lower Broadway fire.

Provision was made in the budget also for the establishment of an institution for feeble minded Negro children. The program had the hearty support also of Governor Sampson. arden Mills Turns Down Request For Similar Relief In Office of Register of Treasury; Hall and Pelham Lose Section Chiefships By RIENZI B. LEMUS Washington, D. C. Without removing his pipe from his mouth, Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover uttered a few words of ample distinctiveness to abolish segregation in his department here on March 29—just a few days after Bishop R. E. Jones of New Orleans declared in an M. E. church conference at Philadelphia that "Hoover is a second Abraham Lincoln." Segregation's exit from Hoover's domain—the Bureau of the Census was accomplished without preliminaryities. The Negro (segregated) sections were abolished, and the clerks dispersed among the personnel of the Census Bureau. Two colored section chiefs were left "helpless." They are the veterans E. H. Hall and Robert Pelham. Thus far no contempt has come from Hall's former charges nor from Hall, who will uncomplainingly lose a due salary increase. Opponents' appraisal of Secretary Hoover, Hon. B. J. Davis, who here on business at the time the order to clean house at the Census Bureau was issued, was elated over Hoover's refusal to quibble. Incidentally, Mr. Davis, who with his delegation, is "pledged" to Hoover for the Republican presidential nomination, stated that there are no obstacles, court injunction or others, between his delegation and Kansas City. Club Entertains At It is said that some of the temporary clerks who served under the government sought have affirmed their restored or fea-tured temporary employment, Segregation however, insofar as Secretary Hoover's authority goes, is the exigencies of temporary clerks, nor their ex-chief, notwithstanding! Texas Democrat In Charge. It was scarcely two weeks ago that Secretary Hoover manifested surprise to learn that there was the need to deploy an expedition in any bureau of his department and when informed that his Democratic-holdover, Texas, Director of the Census Stewart, had sent him a letter that bureau, promised to look into it immediately. His informants were the "twin-hawk-Nemesis" of governmental sergeation here, Neval Harvey, president Washington Branch, N.A., P. P. Curt J, Nelson, executive director, Elka's Civil Liberties Bureau. A few days later Secretary Hoover wrote Mr. Thomas that he was immediately bringing to the attention of the attackers, Mr. Steuart, who had just returned from Europe the matter complained of, and believed that conditions so requiring would be satisfactorily adjusted. That marking of belonging of segregation's end, which occurred a week afterwards, The New York World nevertheless, in its issue of April fool's day, carried a despatch from its Washington Bureau stating that Mr. Hoovers act of abolishing segregation in the Census Bureau made public in the form of "better accommodations provided for Negro workers in the Census Bureau." Truth is, accomodation's had nothing to do with the move whatsoever; it was solely a matter of getting rid of damnable racial discriminations among citizens of a community conduct of its business. Segregation still would obtain at the Census Bureau but for persistence of Messrs. Thomas and Nelson. "The Bureau of the Census in the course of its work has developed a division dealing with statistics particularly affecting the colored people, and in a desire to extend employments in the staff it placed the division in their control and naturally the whole division was centered in one room." Such is the sort of statement to be expected from the office of the Director of the Census. Director Stenner is Bureau of the Census anti-Negro that he once told B. J. Davis, Republican National Committee for Georgia, to not recommend any colored person to him for a post in his department. And he is said that segregation is Bunny Stenart, while the "colored" division, (which is handling the Negro Church census) has been engaged on this task only two years. Also it is said that the trouble with the Bureau of the Census is the key positions are cobwebbed. Messrs. Thomas and Nelson are relisted over the victory; their second against segregation in a few months. They "got it" in incipency in the Pension Office of the anterior Department. That was as far as Secretary Work would go, however, as he recently positively declined to wash it with the Gen. and Office and the Army chief like Stuart, the census director, and because Hubert Work is not Herbert. Hoover. Ogden Mills Refuses Relief. Another hard-boiled Coolidge Cabinetier is Ogden L. Mills of New York, Under-Secretary of the Treasury. When Thomas and Nelson conferred with Mr Mills about abolishing segregation in the office of Register of the Treasury the conference became heated, and when Nelson asked Mills what should Nelson ask people to respect in Mills' defense of segregation Mills is said to have replied: "I don't care what you tell them; you can't bluff me." Neither could Al Smith; it was Neither could Al Smith; it wasn't necessary! Neyal Thomas fully shares Bish- op Jones' appraisal of Secretary Hoover, 'Hon. B. J. Davis, who here on business at the time the order to clean houette at the Census Bureau was issued, was elated over Mr. Hoover's refusal to quibble. Incidentally, Mr. Davis, who had delegation to the "pledged" to Hoover, 'Hon. B. J. Davis' presidential nomination, stated that there are no obstacles, court injunction or others, between his delegation and Kansas City.

Tobias Talks on Modesty To Tuskegee Students Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Chaining H. Tobias, national Y. M. C. A. secretary, spoke three times Sunday. His first message was delivered at the regular morning chapel, at which time he spoke on "The Virtue of Modesty," using as a guiding thought the word of Sant Paul: "I do not consider that I have appropriated." He urged the students to bear modestly any honors that might come to them. He called attention especially to the extent that white philanthropists are slowing up in their gifts to Negro education and social work because they believe that there are great numbers of white college dropouts. He urged the example of Booker Washington be foiled, who gave out a newspaper dispatch the morning after Andrew Carnegie had given a half million dollars, reminding the friends of Tuskegee that the Carnegie gift was added to meet the needs of Tuskegee.

COLLINS Licensed Real Estate and Insurance Broker 2213 Seventh Avenue Check Up Yearly On Your Health A yearly medical examination by a competent physician is the best form of health insurance. And it indicates that they should them regularly just as we take our fire insurance on our property accident insurance, automobile insurance, or any other kind of insurance. Frequently we hear of someone who has appeared to be, perfectly well. Suddenly he is taken ill. The doctor discovers that the illness has run on or a long time and could have been averted, if discovered earlier. Regular visits to the doctor once a year for a complete medical examination will help you check up on your health, and may save you from much serious and unpleasant sufferings. The doctor will detect if there are physical defects the doctor covers them and prescribe treatment to correct them. Many diseases, tuberculosis, for instance, are curable if they are discover and treated early. Even if there is nothing wrong with you and you have no physical defects, an examination will pay because the doctor's assurance that you are well-fed and confident in your physical well-being. All of us should have yearly health examinations. It is especially important that men and women who are starting on their business and professional careers should have them to be certain they are in good physical condition. Persons over 65 should have yearly checkups on their health because the lilis of middle age can be prevented by discovering and treating minor or physical defects. Physicians and specialists interested in tuberculosis say that perhaps there is no disease known to science where the early diagnosis is difficult in this one. Tuberculosis can be cured, but it is much more easily cured in its early stages. The earlier it is discovered and treated, the better the chances of curphe the sooner the sooner his "cure" will come. It is because this is true and because individuals themselves can check help this disease if they will watch their own general "health that the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association and other tuberculosis organizations out the country are conducting an "early diagnosis campaign." The campaign is planned to make all persons realize how important it is to have yearly medical examinations. Many diseases, among them tuberculosis, do not make themselves apparent to the average person until they have been diagnosed fairly well. However, if all persons have yearly health examinations by the family doctor or at a clinic, the doctor examining them may be able to discover tuberculosis or other chronic diseases in their beginning stages. Any one who notices a loss of weight for no apparent reason, feels tired and "let-down" all the time, suffers from indigestion and notices a cough that hangs on over a period of weeks, should see his doctor. Even if a medical examination shows you to be in good condition you will be glad you had it because of the added confidence of a doctor's assurance that you are well. Avoiding "Spring Fever" Spring is in truth "just around the corner" now. And with it, for some people, will come that tired, worn-out feeling, so common after a winter of strifeous work. But they will also their pet remedies for their malady, and many a person will start taking "spring tonic". This let-down feeling can be avoided and can be overcome by watching the general condition. The best tonic of all is to get plenty of sleep. Often, when people are are tired, they think they need some sort of medicine or tonic, when they really need sleep. It is quite natural that the body should be fatigued after a winter of hard work—and many of us do our most important work in the winter months. Then, too many persons spend a great deal of time at social functions during the winter season. So thing to do in order to feel fit when spring arrives is to get sufficient sleep to give the body rest from the strain of the winter's work and to make up for any lost sleep. Then, get outdoors for as much fresh air and sunlight as you can. Another important thing is to watch the diet. In cold weather we are all apt to eat heavy food. Our bodies need starch and sugar and fat in order to supply the energy needed. But, as warmer weather approaches, we do not need heavy foods. We should-eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, and greens.

Too frequent food induces the same result. Again the following of air during the act of suckling invites spitting up—what the infant is breast fed or bottle fed, in which latter case the infant is fed to nurse the bottle himself and the neck is not kept full of milk perforating much air to be swallowed. Mother may hold both baby and bottle until the child is old enough to support the bottle without aid. Too much handling after nursing, jumping the baby up and down and tight binders predispose to the return of the food. Feeding is slowly—taking one-half hour or more or less with hole too small or a nipple too large as a six-inch nipple we once saw at Vanderbilt Clinic, and used by a foreign mother. This naturally irritated the hack of the throat) provoke vomiting. Bringing back the food is so soothing an expression of "vicious" This may be very perilous and vicious such as in so-called cyclic vomiting where the infant has recurring attacks of vomiting, has been observed that infants after it may induce vomiting by sucking them in their mouth, some make swallow motions, arch their spines, throw hack the head and by apparently a conscious effort, bring the milk up, seem to chew it and their swallow it again, some come is lost. This resembles the vomiting of so and so has been called rumination. It is of a nervous origin also. There is another form of vimiting seen in infants from two weeks to two months of age. From the mother's point of view it will be extremely important if infant exposes every time it is vimited more than the mother thinks it could have taken at the last meal and the vomiting is forceful shoots out a great distance like a cannon; therefore, called by doctors projectors. The infant fails to gain in weight and becomes much emaciated. This is a very serious condition and the mother should take the baby to a doctor as soon as she becomes the best results are obtained if the notices this when the baby is four or five weeks old; she probably will worry along with the child for two weeks thinking that "her is bad." These inouts are very difficult because little passes into the intestines. Now, this condition is so very important we feel-justified in telling you more about it. In a serene of observations made at Babcock's hospital, we found that when the duration of the symptoms was under 4 weeks the death rate was 13 plus out of each hundred (13 per cent); when over 4 weeks, rate 35 plus per cent; (2) in infants previously breast fed, fed milk; (3) bottle fed 35 per cent; (3) infants under 7 lbs, rate 28 per cent; over Delightfully dainty is this little girl's bloomer frock, developed in dotted voile, with narrow rufflings of satin ribbon as trimming. So many charming colors and fabrics suggest themselves for this style, that perhaps a few possible combinations might prove helpful. Dotted materials in both light and dark backgrounds offer a wide choice. For instance, a cornflower, blue voile with white dots would have matching blue ribbon ruffling in collar, cuffs and pockets. In a light background white swiss, with red dots, would edge its collar, cuffs and pockets in cherry-red ribbon. Silk and wool crepes also come in olka dot effects, so that a tan and brown dotted silk with brown ribbon ruffling is still another color scheme. Can be obtained in sizes 2 to 6.

Fat is the last food element to leave the stomach; moreover cow's milk fat contains irritating fatty acids not found in woman's milk. Therefore the vomiting from the sour and occurs for just before feeding. All milk vomited after an hour is sour, so much vomiting is sour, so much vomiting of itself is not necessarily bad. The vomitus may be "watery" and soon after feeding. In the bottle fed the sugar is often too high in these cases, so it is especially true where excessive use is made of maltose preparations. In a child at any age sudden, forceful vomiting with fever may be the warning of the onset of meningitis tumor of the brain, obstruction of the liver, or have obstructive constipation, pneumonia, inflammation of the abdomen (peritonitis, measles, scarlet fever or acute infection of the stomach and intestines.

S Earle Business and Property Boom Indicated By Present-Day Activity Among Both Native and Foreign Born William H. Wortham, Head of Pioneer Realty Company, Presents Encouraging Review of Business and Housing Conditions William H. Wortham, president of the Philip A. Payton Jr. Company, the pioneer Negro real estate firm in Harlem, and one of the race's best business men, has written an article on some aspects of the realty situation in uptown New York. Years of experience as a salesman and appraiser and as the head of one of the largest businesses of its kind owned by Negroes give some weight of authority to what Mr. Wortham has to say. "Can I Afford to Buy a Home?" What a satisfying thing it is to own your own home! To know that it belongs to you. Why envy your friends who already have their own homes? Begin now to plan and to save for yours. A few dollars deposited each week in a saving account will make your dreams come true—and will provide the first payment for the home. 40th St. and 6th Ave., New York City Resources over $125,000,000 It encourages both from the point of view of the property owner and from that of the small business man Activities of the foreign-born citizens of Harlem seem to indicate, says Mr. Wortham, that Harlem is on the verge of a real business boom. By WILLIAM H. WORTHAM The Harlem that we know came into existence a little more than a quarter of a century ago. At that time, Philip A. Payton Jr. came to New York from his birthplace in Westfield, Mass, and after floundering around for some little time at small jobs, founded the Philip A. Payton Jr. Company, moved to Harlem, and began the operations that are now a matter of the historic background of Harlem. "Beginning in 1340s street, between Fifth and Lenox, Lenox's community has spread in the colossal numbers north, south and west, so that now its boundaries are the Harlem River on the north and east, Amsterdam avenue on the west, and 111th street on the south. Mr. Payton's last big effort on behalf of Harlem was the opening of the six elevator apartments on 141st and 142nd streets which, after his death, were named The Payton Apartments, in his memory. This was the deal which gave Harlem its greatest impetus for in the short nine months thereafter. As many houses were opened for colored as had existed up to that time. The houses then opened were of a newer and better type, running largely to elevator houses. His Prediction Fulfilled. "It is a tribute to Mr. Payton's prophetic vision and judgment that were he alive today he would find the present state of development in Harlem such as during his lifetime he continually predicted would result. Many of his intimates remember his constant prediction that Harlem, some day, would extend from Harlem River on the north to Central Park on the south and also that the time would come when there would be one place colored in this section. The first quarter of a century of Harlem, as we understand it, were accurately envisioned by Mr. Payton—one of his principal predictions being, that in time, the more to-date the houses, the better they would rent to colored people. At that time it seemed an idle prediction, because for a FRIENDLY·ADVICE·on "Can I Affo to Buy What a satisfying thir own home! To know t Why envy your friend their own homes? Be to save for yours. A few dollars deposit saving account will ma true—and will provide the home. The Bank that Dimes Built UNION SAVINGS ESTABLISH 40th St. and 6th Ave Resources over 5-room apartment one could either pay $25 or $50, depending upon whether it was up to date with all improvements or not. It was hard to see how in selecting an apartment, the average tenant would be the moved one, would $50 rather than the present one, but that is the condition that obtains, now, in the present market. "Today, Harlem is composed of the cream of the Negro world, in art, literature, music, and along most of the cultural lines. For financial institutions we must still look to the south and west. For manufacturing and colored business, generally, we must look elsewhere. The farseeing Harlemite of today believes however, that long before the passing of another quarter of a century, Harlem will be, in every respect, to the Negro world what New York City is to the entire civilized world Colored business will line the principal thoroughfares of Harlem. Strong and ably directed colored financial institutions will be operating right here in our midst. In Harlem will be found the flower of Negro genius and achievement in art, literature, business, and perhaps commerce, such as few Negro communities, or states even, of modern or medieval times could have boasted. Influx of Foreign Born. "The recent large influx of Porto Rican, Cubans, and others of Spanish descent, together with the large number of West Indians who already make up a solid and substantial element of the colored population of Harlem, bring with them a certain instinct for trade and business which is bound to prove helpful in bringing to this community the needed enterprise and experience along such lines. We have been fortunate, in recent years, in the quality of the people from the south who have made Harlem their permanent home. They have brought with them mono-culture and a business sense which, combined with the thrift and business ability of the West Indian and the loyalty to their own of these of Spanish descent, is bound to work for the good of the economic and civic betterment of this section. Indeed, the greatly increasing numbers of colored people of Spanish persuasion who occupy the district bounded by Lexington avenue on the east to Eighth avenue on the west, and 117th street on the north to 11th street on the south, has a political significance which绞erves well for the future.

IN DIME GS BANK BILLSHED 1859 Ave., New York City Over $125,000,000 as to what we may do for our own district should we some day become politically minded. A Carvey of politics, with such a populous territory to unite and draw upon the good of the section, could bring to this area the political benefits that accrue to Fifth avenue and the other favored sections of New York. Nothing could happen for the betterment of the neighborhood, politically or otherwise, that would not reflect in increased realty values. "We look for the time to come when many of the obsolete buildings along Lenox avenue will give way to first class apartment houses and office buildings; when there will be residential sections in Harlem will compare favorably with other sections of the city where quiet and refinement prevail, and the rights of such a community will be adequately protected by an interested police department such as safeguards other sections of the city. The so-called "Striver's Row" is a fine augury of the respect and regard for property rights and values which may be expected when the people of Harlem generally become property owners. Care For Properly. "The care and respect for property values which causes some part of our people now to be stigmatized as strivers, are two of the present day needs of the people of Harlem in general. These qualities will, of course, come in time when more of our people become property owners, but in the meantime, the great wear and tear on property is a contributing cause to low values and high rents of the present day. "The tenant who cuts the linenista in the hall to see how sharp his knife is, or breaks the glass half of the bill windows after a hilarious night at a rent party, thinks that the endures there in chagrin and expires on the landlord. Until he himself becomes an owner of property, it simply does not occur to him that those items of repair and upkeep must be added to the tenants' rent, or in the end the landlord loses his property. "Misguided surveys, or more properly, a lack of intelligently supervised surveys by charitable or semi-charitable organizations in our midst, have done more than they realize to delay the return to this section of the money lending financial institutions that formerly operated here. Public releases from these institutions giving as their findings such conditions as apprehensions the conditions are applied release 24 hours a day, and where overcrowding exists to such an extent that 4 or 5 adults occupy the same room, are not conducive to the return to this field of institutions that have money to loan "We doubt the accuracy of such reports, and still more, the wisdom of the sensational stressing of such conditions, even if an isolated case is found to exist. Such practices may result in bringing charity to the neighborhood, but strong financial institutions that would finance mortgages and investments would add more to its prosperity and self-respect. These institutions, however, are best away from such sensational reports. A wide field of office remains for these institutions, and even for landlords perhaps, in encouraging people to be more discriminate in the character of the apartments which they rent. Some Rental Problems. For instance, we have a number of lone women—widows generally—who have occupied from 5 to 6 rooms in elevator apartment houses, who were constantly in distress as to the payment of their rent. They were insulted at the suggestion that perhaps 5 or 6 rooms in an elevator apartment house was not exactly what they needed. The suggestions that we could let them have 3 or 4 rooms in a walkup apartment, with steam heat, at a mite less rent, were turned down flatly! They wanted up-to-date apartments so that they could make money in renting the rooms. Steams hardly fair to the Harlem real estate interests in general to take a case such as this and publicly broadcast it as an evidence of the landlords' rapacity, when ultimately such a case had to be dispossessed. Such cases, however, have been aired publicly to that effect. The unserpulous and fly-by-night real estate agent is, and always has been, a menace both to "For fifteen years I have been using Black-Draught, when needed, for billiouness and constipation," says Mr. J. O. Woolard of Oriental, N. C., "and I have always found it to be reliable and effective. It certainly comes up to all the good things that are said for it, and I am glad to recommend it. I have found that Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT purges the system of the poisons which accumulate when the organs do not act properly, and I would not be without it. "I always give Black-Draught to the children for colds (when a laxative is needed). It is fine for that. "My trouble is chiefly constipation which is always accompanied by dull headache, backache, and pains in my sides. I think Black-Draught is the quickest and best relief for this." Get a package today. Costs only 1 cent a dose. the investing public and to the real estate agents of some standing in the community. It is a curious fact that there is a certain element of our race who would rather go to such sources for an investment and leave their money with them, than to consult firms that have some responsibility and standing in the community. "Contact and educational publicity of those in the real estate field from the semi-charitable institutions of Harlem and from the ministers of the gospel, is bound to eradicate, as time passes, many of the drawbacks to the ownership of Harlem realty. We look forward, therefore, to a permanent and prosperous settlement of our race in this community, and as time wears on, we anticipate that many inhabitants of Harlem will have their summer homes in the convenient and beautiful Westchester County, where some already have secured beautiful homes. The sooner we lift up our eyes ties that should accrue from the occupancy of so great an area of so many people of kindred ties, the sooner will be brought to realization the prosperous and happy Harlem that is visualized by the present investors of Harlem real estate. No better slogan could be devised for those who are at present owners' of real estate in Harlem than this: "Have Faith In Harlem Realty." Rudolph Smith Lectures On Investment Securities On Monday evening, March 26, Rudolph Smith, who has recently opened offices at 2292 Seventh avenue for the distribution of investment securities, gave the first of a series of lectures on finance and investment and corporate-organization and promotion. The meeting was held at the Imperial Elks' Auditorium and was well attended. An enthusiastic welcome was accorded by those present to the announced plans of Mr. Smith for the formation of a finance and investment bureau for investigating stock-selling projects operating in Harlem and giving to the public the true facts and figures regarding them, and also for the purpose of giving information and advice to those contemplating investing part of their earnings in listed or unlisted stocks, bonds, and other current securities. Mr. Smith called attention to the capital stock offering of the Bracken Furniture Company, Inc., 45-47 West 125th street, a prosperous neighborhood enterprise which, starting fifteen years ago with a capital of $5,000, owns today a business worth over $200,000, and is now selling shares of its capital stock at the low rate of $27 per unit, consisting of one share of first preferred, 7 percent, and one share of second participating preferred. The unit has a guaranteed retirement value of $32. Mr. Smith declared that this was an opportunity for Harlem investors comparable to the stock offering of Davega Sporting Good Stores, Inc., shares of which were offered in Harlem at $14, and rose in a short time on the curb market to over $50. He pointed out that the small profit could be made by the small investor who put part of his surplus earnings in sound business concerns, of the type of the Bracken Furniture Company, Inc., instead of risking money in purely speculative oil or mining stock as many are prone to do. A baritone solo was rendered by William Service Bell, widely known on the concert stage. Lester Taylor, a recent graduate of Fordham University and business associate of Mr. Smith, acted as chairman. Howard Reading Club To Remain One Body The monthly meeting of the Howard Reading Club was held at Digg's Dining Room, 102 West 130th street, Friday evening, March 23, Dr. Allen T. Graves entertaining. The club, which originally was composed of six members, has now grown to 40. At the last meeting the matter of breaking up the club into sections because of its large membership was discussed but turned down. It was also decided to maintain the system of rotating chairmanships in alphabetical order rather than to choose a president for a given term. It was reported that many changes are imminent in the management of the New Howard University Medical School, and the club decided to send a delegation to the dedication exercises, April 9 and 10, in Washington, D. C., and to meet with the school authorities for discussion. Among those speaking were Dr. J. N. Cesteros, and the following visitors: Drs Ralph Young, E. E. Rawlins and Lous Wright. Others present were Drs. Eddie Lowry, Conrad Edwards, W. Howard, R. Fisher, C. B. Powell, H. H. James, Herman Warner, Mason, C. A. Petoni, Young, A. H. Bragg, A. A. Holdbrook, J. T. H. Granady, E. E. Best, Gustavus Henderson, W. M. Wilson, W. H. Allen, M. E. Ross, J. H. Riley, H. M. Embed, P. M. Murray, W. I. Delph, Ralph Young, L. T. Wright, Paul A. Collins, E. E. Rawlins. Editor Of Atlantic Monthly Is Guest Of Geo. Myers, Cleveland Cleveland. O—M. A. DeWolfe Howe, editor of the Atlantic Monthly and president of the company publishing that magazine in Boston, Mass., was a visitor in Cleveland, recently, and while here spent much of his time with George A. Myera, proprietor of the Hollend堡 barber shop, and one of the wealthiest Negroes in this section of the country. Mr. Howe is engaged in writing a biography of James Ford Rhodes, historian and former Cleveland. Mr. Myers was a close personal friends of Mr. Rhodes and was bequeathed his diamond cuff links and a watch and charm in Mr. Rhodes' will. The Boston editor came to Cleveland primarily to consult with Mr. Myers, about Mr. Rhodes. ST. PAUL FOLKS JAM CHURCH TO HEAR DR. DuBOIS First Time In City Did Pay Audience Throng Hall To Capacity Minneapolis, Minn.—The unusual condition obtained here when Dr. W. E. B. DuBois lectured on Friday night in St. Peter's A. M. E. Church of having the largest colored church in the city jammed to the doors, even though an admission fee of 50 cents per head was collected. It does not happened here before. The lecture was under auspices of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. F. and the large audience, composed both white and colored, was the result of efforts put forth by the women. On Saturday, Dr. DuBois spoke before the Lion's Club, an organization of prominent white business men. One of the most active in interest of the local N. A. A. C. P. is Pierce Butler jr., son of Justice Pierce Butler sr., of the United States Supreme Court, and he recently gave a substantial contribution to the work. The Butter family is rated as worth millions. Officers Club Formed With 41 Charter Members The movement that was begun last January by Captain Chas O, Steedman to organize an officers' club for the purpose of promoting a keener sense of appreciation of our racial group in military activities, inculcate in the youth of the race a desire for military knowledge, and to promote the spirit of allegiance, service, honor and duty to our country, has developed into a permanent organization with a broad national scope in the name of the National Association of Colored Military Officers, and with its election of per-mer officers Sunday, April 19, 1928 at the Urban League Building 204 West 136th street; is ready to begin the work of carrying out its aims and objects as set forth in their constitution.

M. C. A. held last Friday night at the building, 405 Carlton avenue, Brooklyn, was one of the most successful functions held since this feature was introduced five years ago. Scores of father and sons were present. Dr. Hinkson presided and had associated with him. Rev. Holmes, Secretary Jackson and Executive Secretary A. L. Comther. The Rev. C. L.

Richard B. Moore of the American Negro Labor Congress acted as chairman. The speakers had acquainted the audience with the discrimination practiced at N. Y. U. and had thoroughly denounced it, the following resolution was adopted unanimously: Whereas, the authorities of N. Y. U. for the past year and half have been discriminating against Negro students. Whereas, many organizations containing both Negro and white workers have protested against the actions of N. Y. U. authorities but to no avail. Whereas, instigation of race hatred and racial discrimination divides workers, weakens them, makes exploitation and oppression of them by the capitalist class easier. Whereas, this discrimination is an outstanding expression of this race hatred. Whereas, it is to the interests of both the Negro and white working people and liberal elements of all races to fight against these racial antagonisms and to eliminate them. Therefore be it resolved, that we workers, protest the discrimination against Negro students and demand their immediate reinstatement by the university authorities and call the N. U. to stop any further discrimination. And be it further resolved, that we call upon labor, liberal and student organizations, in general to add their protests in this matter and to help in the fight in and against racial discrimination in the interests of both white and Negro people. Copies of this resolution have been sent to N. Y. U. authorities. N. Y. U press, student organizations and to the press generally To Direct Collections Of YMCA Campaign Funds R. P.

Rev. George H. Dwelle Of Augusta Dies In His 95th Year Atlanta, Ga.—With the death of the Rev. George H. Dwelle, distinguished Baptist minister, at the home of his daughter, Dr. Georgia Dwelle Howell, 14 North Boulevard, Atlanta, on Wednesday, March 28, the Baptist denomination loses one of its most notable figures. Aged 95 years, Dr. Dwelle was the oldest Baptist minister in the state, and his was a long and honorable career. For many years he pastored Springfield Baptist Church here, the oldest Baptist church in the state, and possibly in the whole country, but since his retirement from active service some years ago, and the death of his wife, he made his home with his daughter in Atlanta. One of his sons is the Rev. John H. Dwelle, pastor of a Philadelphia church, and another is the Rev. Thomas H. Dwelle, who formerly pastored Union Baptist Church, this city. His daughter, Dr. Dwelle, has been a practicing physician in Atlanta for about twenty years. The body was brought to Augusta for burial and the funeral service was held on Palm Sunday, April 1, from his old church, Springfield. The service was largely attended by men and women of all classes, and was one of the most imposing this city has ever seen. Manifests of very denomination took part in the obsequies.

They followed a raid on the apartment occupied by the men, when a number of Australian women were found in their company. The orchestra is known as, the Sonny Clay Plantation Orchestra and it went from the Pacific Coast. The deportation order was carried out on Saturday, March 24, when the men were placed on board the Inver Sierra, bound for San Francisco. The former Premier, William Hughes, has started a movement to make a "White Australia," with the object of barring both Italian and Negroes from the island. He charges that 300 Italians come in to Australia monthly. Referring to the deporting of the Negro musicians, Mr. Hughes said that the Commonwealth land from Australia was boycotted in the United States, "Now," he continued, "the land of liberty scads of these Negroes to entertain us.

The New York Age NEW NATIONAL MONO WEEKLY Published on Saturday of Every Week Station of Publication, No. 350 West 131th Street Telephone Bradhurst 0664 However, the death of Senator Willis has lesseps the chances of Ohio furnishing another presidential candidate, and it looks as if that state may be counted in the Hoover column. This will not happen without a strenuous fight, however, as thirty of the Willis delegates named former Governor Lowden as their second choice, while the friends of Speaker Longworth, General Dawes, Senators Curtis and Watson are not disposed to let the Hoover people win without a contest. Somebody appears to have been putting obstacles in the way of the Hoover bandwagon in the South. Despite the efforts of that past master in the handling of Southern delegates, ex-Congressman C. Bascom Slemp, there seems to be an alienation of affection on the part of National Committeeman Perry W. Howard of Mississippi, who at one time was reported as favoring the Secretary of Commerce, in case Mr. Coolidge could not be induced to change his choice. Then the redoubtable Benjamin J. Davis who is to Georgia what Howard is to Mississippi, has ceased to print favorable things about Mr. Hoover in his weekly, the Atlanta Independent. DANGER IN SHIPSTEAD BILL. The Shipstead bill is a measure now before the Senate judiciary committee, which Iorbids the Federal courts to issue injunctions in labor disputes. How this bill, if enacted into law, would work a grave injustice to millions of our workers, was rehearsed before the committee at a recent hearing, by Harry E. Davis, as former member of the Ohio Legislature and now a civil service commissioner of Cleveland. In his opposition to the bill, Mr. Davis was supported by Attorney Charles W. Chestnutt, the author. As reported in the Cleveland Gazette, Mr. Davis raised an important joint that had been overlooked by representatives of the National Manufacturers Association and other interests opposing this measure. Refusing to take sides in the controversy between employers and labor unions, he enforced his argument by citing a case decided last year in Cuyahoga county, where the Common Pleas court issued an injunction to restrain a Cleveland waiters union. This union was picketing and boycotting as "unfair to union labor" a roadhouse near Cleveland, because it employed colored waiters, who had been denied the right to join a union on racial grounds. At the time this decision was referred to in The Age, as upholding the economic status of the race as a laboring factor. Probably Editor Davis is too busy concocting prejudiced appeals to the Southern Democratic delegates to defeat the nomination of Governor Smith of New York, whom he pictures as 'a man who has spent the greater portion of his life fraternizing and socializing with Negroes for their votes.' He even asserted that, "had it not been for Tammany's Negro following, Al Smith would never have been Governor or heard of for President." Both of these assertions are so far from the truth that we have to wonder where Editor Davis gets his information concerning New York politics. In the meantime the situation is becoming more complicated in both the great parties, with Secretary Hoover leading on the Republican side and Governor Smith among the Democrats. THE BOMB IN POLITICS. The recent epidemic of bombing in Chicago marks the entrance of this cowardly missile of death and destruction as a political argument. Incidents of the primary campaign to name candidates for political office have been the explosion of bombs intended to destroy the residence of a United States Senator and of a judge of one of the courts. The United States marshal appealed to the Department of Justice for five hundred additional officers to supervise the elections and to protect voters. The political issue involved was described by Senator Deneen as an effort by organized crime, no longer fearing the law, to set up a dictatorship in politics. In his argument, Mr. Davis emphasized as particularly dangerous and objectionable that section of the Shippeast hill which gives equity courts jurisdiction to protect property, when there is no remedy at law for that purpose, and states that "nothing shall be held to be property unless it is tangible and transferable." He pointed out the injustice that such doctrine would work against ninety-five per cent. of the Negro race, who belong to the laboring classes and possess but little in physical or tangible property. As some political economists have held, the skill and ability of the laborer to earn his wage constitute his most valuable possession and should share in all the advantages and immunities granted to capital or the possessor of real and personal property. Mr. Davis clinched his argument by saying: Time was when the use of bombs in this country was regarded as an outbreak of anarchism, and the users of such instruments were generally found to be of foreign origin. This was so in the case of the Haymarket riots in Chicago and the bombing of a newspaper office in San Francisco. But the bomb has since been adopted as a handy weapon of the mob, to be used against any person who has aroused popular disfavor. It has the advantage of dealing destruction to the unsuspecting victim, while the cowardly assailant can sneak off without risk. In Chicago bombing came into popular use as a weapon against the Negro, it being employed to destroy homes and churches belonging to members of the race. It was also used for similar purposes in Detroit, Cleveland, Los Angeles and other cities to discourage Negroes from acquiring homes in exclusive sections. The bill would deny the right of equitable intervention to protect any thing except tangible property—the easiest to protect through the police power. On the other hand, the contract of employment, although it is recognized as a contract of employment, is more favorable and for that reason it would be denied the protection of the equity power through injunction. The group in whose behalf I am speaking have little physical property to protect and would suffer most of all the protection the removed from employment rights. In effect, I would operate to deny this group of the equal protection of the laws although on the face of the proposed law this does not appear. The report stated that Senator Norris of Nebraska, chairman of the committee, who has favored the bill, appeared to be impressed by this argument against it. He questioned Mr. Davis further and later admitted that abolition of the power of the courts to issue injunctions might operate as stated. The bill in its present form would undoubtedly work injustice and discriminate against those workers, who seek equal opportunity for economic advancement. It would give organized labor an unfair advantage in not only barring workers from union membership because of racial differences, but in ousting them from employment. The right to work is the poorman's property. It should have the same measure of protection in the courts as any other form of property. The Shipstead bill should either be amended or defeated. In most of these cases where the bombing outrages were directed against the lives and property of Negroes, the legal authorities were lax and indifferent in investigating the crimes or seeking to apprehend the criminals. The result has been that the jure of bombs has been encouraged by this indifference of the authorities, until no citizen is safe. Whether his position is low or exalted, he cannot be free from the apprehension that his life, his family and his property may be summarily destroyed by the act of some lawless Thoodhun, or vindictive gunman, or a mercenary hired by a political opponent. DEATH ENTERS THE RACE. The sudden death of Separator Wilfs of Ohio has given a remarkable twist to the contest for the Republican presidential nomination, and may go far to prove a deciding factor. While the Ohio Senator was generally regarded as a candidate of the "favorite son" type, to receive the votes of his home state for the first few ballots and then to be dropped, he and some of his supporters took it quite seriously. If he had defeated Secretary Hower at the primaries, it was not out of reason for his supporters to look upon This emphasizes the fact that lawlessness against one element of the community cannot be condoned without enduring the security of the remainder of the community. For good or evil, the entire community is linked together in a bond of common humanity that makes the concern of one member the concern of all. Let the bombers blow up the homes and churches of Negroes with immunity from punishment, and it follows that no home, no church, or other building, will be safe from a like attempt. Lawlessness of the mob should be snuffed out in the beginning to insure the safety of the whole community. ELEMENTS OF WEAKNESS If the African race in America is not cognizant of its many weaknesses and shortcomings, including sins of omission and commission as the prayerbook calls them, it will not be due to any reticence or reservations on the part of the writers of new books. After Carl Van Vechten had painted in gorgeous colors the frailties and perversities of the higher grades of colored society, it remained for Claude McKay to portray in more robust fashion the cruder vices and virtues of the lower world. Both these writers were equally frank in their delineation of vicious indulgences, although the former used the refinements of a style like Maupassant, while the latter suggested Zola at his grossest "Nigger Heaven" did convey a moral lesson in the tragic fate of the hero, but "Home, to Harlem" is mostly a sordid recital of animalism and lust, with no relieving feature of refinement or intelligence, except the expatriated Haitian, who is out of touch with it all. The ex-soldier who is the central figure, has the redeeming quality of working as longshoreman and railroad porter and refusing to live on the earnings of his temporary female partner. But apart from these two word painters of a Harlem that many would not recognize, we find another writer who has been considering certain elements of weakness in our race, with a view to correction. This incorrigible optimist is W. P. Dabney, editor of the Cincinnati" Union, a weekly publication of four pages, the first of which usually bears the stamp of his original thought and diction. He is also the author of a book entitled "Cincinnati's Colored Citizens," which tells much of the progress of the race in that Ohio metropolis, despite its proximity to the Southern border, or it may be because of that proximity. Being an entrance gate from the Southland, Cincinnati is overrun by what Mr. Dabney terms "an ever increasing horde of impolite, undisciplined Negroes whose conduct, manners and irresponsibility are arousing antipathies little short of actual enmity." This creates prejudicial impressions upon the white citizens of Cincinnati, which add to the elements of racial weakness. Mr. Dabney devoted two columns of a recent issue of his paper, in bold face capitals, to pointing out the danger of this increasing prejudice and devising a way to counteract it. He suggested that the only immediate remedy that could be recommended was to elevate the masses. His program was tersely worded. They should be taught how to behave themselves! They should be taught how to be clean! They should be taught how to conduct themselves when working for others! Last, but no less, they should be taught how to protect their mouths. These principles may be inculcated most effectively and efficiently by establishing real community clubs in every district of the city! In every church arrangements should be made for systematic instruction. In the church, they will find a great deal of heaven on earth. Our secret societies can assist largely in disseminating the knowledge so sorely needed. Thousands of children get no family support, they devote their life to special civic missionary projects that are good than one hundred years in the way we are going. College graduates, apart from teachers, are doing practically nothing for uplift among the masses, since the higher their education, farther they they get, and the greater distaste associated with people become. We need a middle class. That is a program that sounds reasonable, not only for Cincinnati, but for every city, large or small, that is experiencing the embarrassment of newcomers that need adjustment to the community. Lack of this adjustment means the creation of friction, the arousing of prejudices and sometimes the disturbance of the peace. In this city, probably because of its cosmopolitan character and its already heterogenous population, the demands for adjustments of this sort have become so numerous, that the necessity for them is generally recognized and they are more, easily made. Nevertheless, the situation that Mr. Dabney outlines in Cincinnati, is but too common in other sections. The elements of weakness that he describes should be recognized and such remedies applied as the community can muster. SPINNING YARNS ABOUT AFRICA. The popular interest manifested in Trader Horn, or Alfred Aloysius Smith, in his recent visit to this country, was one of those freaks of fancy that overtake a community weary of the drab realities of everyday routine. It also suggested the dictum of the late P. T. Barrum, the greatest showman of America, that the American people like to be humbugged. At least one American voiced this opinion, though not until the age and genial Trader Horn had embarked on his return trip. In the Herald Tribune of last Satur THE AGE READERS' FORUM THE AGE READERS' FORUM day, one Colonel Manuel Herrera de Hora announced that he was weary of the way that Aloysius Smith was "playing the American public for a lot of suckers," as he phrased it, and that his stories were positively speaking "all pipe dreams." Colonel de Hora, who claimed to have passed twenty years in Africa, branded Horn as a Boer "winkler" or peddler who had picked up his tales in the native kraals. He said there were hundreds like him with long beards and everything in Johannesburg. The thing that distinguished Trader Horn was that he was fortunate to find a clever writer to help him out with his book, and that he had thic personality to play the part afterward. The book of Trader Horn proved a literary freak in the way of gaining a large sale and arousing popular interest. It was original in style, but tedious at best. Of real information it contained but THE AGE REA D. D. Watson Warns His Fellow Pullman Porters Editor of The New York Age. I wish to thank your paper and yourself for your unbiased publications of various opinions concerning the Pullman Company and eminent Negro-engled paper that has been so fair, and again I thank you, reverting to Mr. Randolph and his groundless promises. I shall pass up Mr. Grain and Mr. C. A. Ford, appointed field organizers, as I consider them dupes and tools of the master. Mr. Randolph and his colleagues Marcus Garvey in his ability to get the money from his people for no results and at the same time evade the law. I have sat under the spell of Mr. Randolph's masterful oratory and I repeat he is a master of his Pullman company and who opposes Randolph and his colleagues is posed to be paid to do so at the institution of the Pullman Company. Well, the Pullman Company is paying me for porter's service only, and what I write is my own opinion and knowledge from personal observation and contact. Of course there is another way to get the job, the Ride Pride, but I shall stick to my guns until time gives the lie to, the disturbers and brings to light their true character. C. A. Ford and Grain may not know, but Randolph knows that the American Federation of Labor is a failure, and if it is a failure with the money and the power behind it, what can we expect to do with no money and no ability? We would have a hard time if we were right, that is, we would be wrong, is wrong, and they can only profit a few at the expense of the masses, and it is the laborer who pays in more than one. Randolph knows that the Negro is further up in the world financially and economically as the result of (white) organized labor's attempt to buy land. He knows that we never would have gotten otherwise. He also knows that the American Federation of Labor is grabbing at a straw when they attempt to recognize the Negro labor movement. The Negro has to have 1 am as good a brakesman as the Negro laborer, so why pretend? B. & O. or. N. Y. C. has, Can I get a job or the union? "No!" They hope that by getting strings Negro men can get away and stop him from doing jobs. My job is not secure and I only want to maintain it by efficiency. One kind white man in the service tried to get me last week, and, by the way, he may be a union man. But he missed me this time, he里程碑了. I will hold to hold my job; I expect my work to do that; but I refuse to be drawn in a fight that is not justified, the making of which I had nothing to do with. And then there are others who for various reasons cannot speak for themselves. I owe a contribution to them out of God's gift and blessing, and so they can take Randolph myself and use their judgment. I am not afraid of man nor evil, for I have already been warned about my writing, but I can only say to the ambitious one: "Read the safety warning on the Pullman car, 'Watch your step', and don't miss." Randolph knows that the Pullman Company can fire every Negro in the service today, and in less than three places if they want them, and there is no law to stop them. It is their right. He knows that the porter can never win a fight—unless it is physical. He further knows there are millions of white men who would be glad to save the jobs. Then why not help the jobless I would not sell a group of people for a house and lot and a few pennies, and especially make the victim pay. D. D. WATSON Boston, Mass. Organizer Crosswath Answers A. P. Condy Editor of The New York Age: In your issue of the March 31, under the Tension Why Not a Tip Strike? Only Condy can know among his fellow workers as the Uncle Remus of the New York districts, volunteers "to disabuse little new, and that told in a rambling and disconnected manner. Its success must be attributed to the revival of interest in things African, and the skillful manner in which public interest was stimulated. For real information about Africa, the works of David Livingston, Henry M. Stanley, and the French explorer, Paul B. du Chaillu were far more authentic and interesting. The Rev. John J. Coles, a colored missionary to Africa, some years ago, wrote an interesting pamphlet dealing with his experiences in the African bush, which gave more intimate details of native habits and customs. As a yarn spinner Trader Horn played his part very well and did much to stimulate interest in the mysterious continent, where an early civilization had its beginnings and where a new civilization is to be evolved from the diverse elements there assembled. the porters' minds of the idea of $150 monthly wage" because, says this murth generator, "when the job of Pullman porter becomes so good to pay that sort of money New Yorkers will want." If we thought that this veteran story-teller was advancing the above quotation as an argument against Pullman porters organizing into their own union like conductors, firemen, and other rail-road workers, and other workers away with the evils of over-time doubling, begging, deadheading, preparatory time, etc., we would be tempted to answer it by seriously suggesting that the upper extremity of Pullman porters be thorough psycho-analytical test. But, frankly, we feel about the matter exactly like a gilded station would feel when leisurely trotting down the home - bretch his heels in a vain effort - stop him; the horse would surely be amused instead of annoyed. We are amused still more by the suggestion to porters averse to taking tips "to return them to their passengers" which reminds us of the story so often told about a man who washed whose flesh Jews are averse to, and who loved so much to lay in swall that after he had been domesticated and made spotlessly clean by being subordinated to many baths, felt so uncomfortable that he heeded that his good health upon being permitted by his owner to go to the nearest puddle and wallow therem. Poor fellow, he had grown accustomed to his native environment, and no appeal to the manhood of pries, or a thought of his own, was required from his master the "good old days." Uncle Renus tells us further that he is acquainted with the attitude of the Pullman management towards its porters and knows that "we will never get an increase" because of the agitation of outsiders about the last increase? Howdy? Howdy? That the first part of the statement is true, for we clearly recall that the slave who hovered around massa's big house on the hill always knew massa's attitude toward the other slaves in the camp below. Nevertheless, the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, even though Uncle Renus himself has been influenced and still persists in acting as if there has been no Gettysburg, no Richmond, and Sherman had never marched through Georgia. Poor Andy Conde! He may yet be rewarded for his services to the Pullman Company with a chance to sell "hot-dogs" and coffee to underpaid, overworked, tired and exploited porters, and a predecessor, Sylvester, for the way the Pullman Company has appreciated However, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters may yet save Andy for the Brotherhood is the porters' safest insurance, and represents an invaluable contribution to the progress of our economic environment and other reasons. FRANK R CROSSWATH. Special Organizer. B S C P. Busy Psychosis BY GEORGE W. GOODMAN Someone left me a clipping entitled "Toast Burry to Live" that was copied from the Detroit Free Press. It enumerated thirty-three things people afflicted with "Hurrytits" never find time to do, and the verse ends with "he hurries time she's hurries." But I'd like an anthrophase that appropriate eating for our dear "ole Harlem" and say, "He hadn't time—he's in a fog." The waiters who love to picture the Negro as a slow moving nonchalant individual would be horrified if they spent much time in Harlem, where practically every Negro has been nobilized with the form they have assumed is quite remarkable; they are too busy to serve, too busy to be on time, too busy to be cordial, in fact, they're too busy to even be natural. If there were actual business transactions in proportion to the number of personal appointments and message arrangements held between 125th and 140th streets, would not assume a much different appearance. But where do our busy business Vocing a plea for political harmony in 'an editorial headline "Let Us Have Peace," the Arkansas Survey of Little Rock said. These were the words of Grant after Appomattox; there should be more than twelve years; this strike has been costly to the Republicans of the state. We have sustained losses in representation in the National Congress, and the whole vote paid in the last presidential election when many Republicans, through disgust at the way things were conducted in the state, stayed at home or voted the other way. By reason of discussion in the party, the party appointed appointments that could be given in the state. The time has come, for those who have been responsible, to put aside political stupidity and obstinacy and make an effort to present a united front in the coming election. The color green epitomizes welcome and reasonable effort to restore party harmony and it is up to those in control to make the effort. From current reports it appears that this will be done and no element in the party will welcome it. It more than will the colored. We do not be willing to lie up any reasonable grounds, without sacrificing self respect. Let us have peace. According to the Arkansas Gazette, overtures have been made to "the rebellious Negro faction, led by Seipio A. Jones," with the expectation that the party will present a united front in the national convention. Discussing the plan of proportional representation as a panacea for the protection of minority groups, the Cleveland Call and Past took issue with one Walter J. Millard, 11 said among other things: Take Cleveland for instance. For the first few years that the system of proportional representation was used, men only one colored citizen came out a winner to represent some 700,000 of Cleveland voters. In the last Municipal campaign, three colored councilmen were elected after a most racial feeling was injected. In commenting on the results of that election, one of our daily papers, and by the way it was the Cleveland law new made fact that a proportional representation of voting left big sections of the city voiceless. "Thirteen of the city's thirty-three wards are without representation in the city council as a result of the proportions of the electorate originally introduced primarily to give groups a voice in the city government." folk go on the rush? My opinion is then, merely rush to forget how little they actually have to do. A few weeks ago downtown I happened on a meeting on the Housing Bill up before the Legislature. People came to the boroughs and Harlem was also there, represented by an organization that three-fourths of the colored folk in Harlem do not know exists, and one-half of the other fourth do not care. They dared not set up a show because of they returned to Harlem for acclimation to the happies of the daughters of "That" would smile at them and pass on. This in spite of the fact that one of the Jewish landlords of Harlem the other day was heard to say "Neroses like high rents and will pay, so who reduce them?" He owns a very fashionable and expensive house in New York, and actually too busy to remedy the at present. Noole, however, from this minor factor of having a decent place to live at a reasonable price, we also rush over our politics because we want to be more involved in the short of legislation to exist all Negroes from their beautiful Hollen would add to them to the polls. Minimizing of Negro political leaders, minimizing of whole country nothing short of wholesale nothing would make 50 per cent of them vote. What does it matter if the majority of them have to go almost to "herachi" every morning to go to work, concerns within short distances of their houses that ought, but do not employ people of color. Dor, after all, everything belongs to white folk, and all we have to do is content and nurture them, all we have to do is pretend to do business, most of pretending to do business. I chance to look in on one of the latter the other evening and there was the cream of Hutlem, with a little sour milk sprinkled in here and there. And such in the face of facial expressions, the like of facial never seem; a problem in calculus I do not have evoked more determined ones. Despite the fact there were "Boozy Prizes" awaiting some. The above is quoted from the Cleveland News, issue of November 13, 1927. Further in that article, it was stated that some 110,000 American-Polish residents Cleveland are without representation. There appears to be considerable doubt as to the efficacy of proportional representation in better political conditions. It is nevertheless an interesting experiment in government. Relating how a preacher escaped a penalty for speeding, by telling the judge that his mind was busy working on his sermon and he did not know how fast he was going, the Cincinnati Union elaborated as follows: As a matter of fact, he became so enthused, exalted, exhilarated over the sermon for next Sunday, before him he saw so plainly the glories of heaven, as its golden gates swung ajar to admit Elijah and his charis of fire, that unconscious he stepped on the gas, his little God lapped red lights, traffic laws and all else were forgotten in his mad rush to get in the new Jerusalem before St. Peter closed its gates. The bright dreams of celestial glory abruptly came to an end, for he was still far enough from heaven to differentiate between a speed cop's whistle and a cab horn. God that awaits just Judge was on the bench when the Reverend said "Good morning." If the preacher impressed his congregation as favorably as he did the traffic judge, he should have made many converts to the faith. The American Bishop of Louis- ville, Ky., explaining that it takes very little stock in these new notions about social questions, announced; When we received a request to recommend a married lady to serve on a committee of ladies to consider the Companionate Marriage question, we recommend it thoroughly in the old time marriage relation of being married "until death do us part." After beautiful married life is accepted by every one who is acquainted with her as a model for younger women, we desire a married life which is happy, contented and lovable according to the Scriptures. If this rule was followed by our young people there would be no need of these movements for limited marriage relations which would be necessary end in separations. What is needed for the good of society is, not how to provide methods for the easy breaking of the marriage ties, but a return to the old method of marrying women and living for the happiness and comfort of those who enter that relation. That is good sound doctrine that may find acceptance, after the more modern notions about marriage have been proved fallacious. Considering the subject of "Saturday Night and the Negro," in the phase of uneconomic buying, the Washington Tribune said: Above every other form of exploitation, our race suffers from economic thriftlessness. Our churches and leaders need to redirect the emotions of the race from channels which suited jungle life, into channels which make for economic survival. The new salvation army will consist of hands of intelligent young men and women who will congregate on street corners with their new sons which tell of the gospel of saving pennies, and of spending them where they come back to, in the middle of our south and in never paying industries and business of all kinds. Our new type of social work will consist of Saturday night meetings where the women of the race will meet in the neighborhood circles and center with their leaders on the table to discuss their business entrusted to their keeping. Out of such movements, would come group buying and careful consideration of the values of the things for which money is to be exchanged $^{12}$ groceries and drug stores, dairies and meat markets combine to economically, why should the poor buyer combine to buy economically? The editor added that wore churches will foster these movements, as they will at least leave more for church giving on Sundays. Commenting on the art that S. Joe Brown was nominated for Municipal judge in the city primaries, the Des Moines Bystander said A careful check of vote cast Tuesday showed that many white people voted for Brown, and that these white votes came from all classes and from all sections of Des Moines. We have contented them the beginning that if the fellow whom we have supported for the post fifty years voted as they should Brown would be nominated. Two things contributed to this: the candidate himself and the splendid impressiveness before the campaign addresses and second, the personal work of friends who went about telling white people of Brown's qualifications. It worked. But this effort must be reimbled and in proportion that it will the result tail in the final count. The Dark Horse must win." The Negro candidate received 5,110 votes in the primaries although it is estimated that the number of Negro voters in Des Moines is only about three tha. This is significant as to the general attitude of Iowa voters. : ee a a tapes F ETE ee aE ce PAW CREATER NEW YORK: ae RR OATER Ny f 3 ‘ieak | rial Church | ech will be to the writer a ple ve-Emotionsl Christ” was the fot the sermon which Dr iidelivered in a most clo- Se manner to the large and at irifive audience last Sunday morn 10) ‘text #3 found in Luke 19: MI"And Whea he-was come near, he beheld the city aad wept over fhe capeaker was the shedding teas, and the significance of thes tears: Christ wept over, Jerusalem because of her spiritual condition HG tears were shod with, the hope ttiit"an would be overcome and that manamight live “Christ was ot only emotional, but He trans rsitted His emotion into. action "This is the primary thought which ‘De, Oliver Roped to convey to his Redrers that it is aldght to weep ‘But tears are wasted unless an cf for is pat forth to aisist to mak ing conditions over which you wee Better. s -Being Palm Sunday, suembers aad frends were urged to, study the Christ,’and His entry into Jer uusalem, aid follqw Him throug fut the week, as He spent it i communion with the Father, pee Paratory to His Crucifixion. _ The Holy Eucharist was cle brated at 3:50 o'clock, and the ser vies were very impressive. «The Rev.

Among the baseball men present to pay tribute to him were Nat Strong, owner of the Brooklyn Royal Giants; Alexander Pompes, owner of the Cuban Stars, and John Henry Lloyd of the Lincoln Giants. There were also many beautiful floral tributes. He is survived by a widow and aen-daughter and one sister. Acclaim Phil Edwards A. Boys' Day celebration was held at the 135th Street Branch Y. M. C.

"Sorrell and Son" at The Douglass Theatre Alice Joyce, for years one of the most popular actresses in motion pictures, plays the role of "Fanny Garland" in Herbert Brennon's production of "Sorrell and Son" at the Douglas Theatre. Miss Joyce's sympathetic portrayal is declared by director Brénon to be the finest of her screen career. Alice Joyce was born and educated in Kansas City, Missouri, and started to make her living as a telephone operator. Her beauty and personality attracted the attention of motion pictures executives and she was offered a chance to act with the old Vitagraph company. Although still in her early teens, she soon became a star and an outstanding favorite with fans in several countries. Since the Vitagraph days, Miss Joyce has starred and played opposite leading masculine stars in scores of pictures. She has been free lancing during most of her career in recent years. In addition to "Sorrell and Son," in which she is cast with H. B. Warner, Anna Q. Nilsson, Nils Asher, Carmel Myers, Norman Trevor, Mary Noan, Louis Wolheim, Lionel Belmore, Mickey McBan and other notable players, some of Miss Joyce's best known pictures, include "Stella Dallas" "The Little French HONORED GUEST AT MONARCH BALL 1.

Buu said: "I have tried to project a definite musical thought throught the nediuin of the Hampton Choir, developing it to such an extent that technique is a secondary consideration and that which the composet jhad in miod the foremost." Dr. Dett considers intelligence as im- ‘portant a3 musical talent. “My method of choosing candidates for the choir,” he declared, “consists in singing scales and 1 judging almost impossible interludes to try out the car. ‘This is, of course, of great importance in unaccompanied singing, such as that of the Hampton Choir. When a talented, untrained voice is found it is given training. I cannot, I find, put too great sttess on intelligence as a requiretnent for the best results in choir work, for musicianship demands intellk gence in as strong a measure as talent.” Dr. Dett's latest. work is a sonatine in four movements, called “Cinnainon Grove", now ready for the publisher, as well as some an- thems based on folk themes, and songs. Athong his unpublished ma: terial are folk songs now practically unknown, developed in out-of-the: way places. The changing tmes in the Southern States have blot. ted out many of these songs and it is through musicians such as Dr Dett and such orgenizations as the Hampton Choir that the musical value of folk melody will be developed and given to the people at large That students under his direction will appear in Carnegie Hall in a pro- gram of the type to be presented, will, without question, throw new light on the average music lover's conception of musicianship, expect: ed of this student organization With a program of universal quality the Hampton Choir will, in Carnegie Hall, as it-did last year im Wash- mgton, dispel the idea that Negro student voices and interpretation are mited fo American folk muste UNITY 1907 ¥ STRENGTH 1928 MI-TEE MONARCH NO, 4 “ 1B.

HOBB'S For The SKIN And SCAR THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES Pullman Porters' Athletic and Social Club Oldest In Harlem's Piccadilly ARLEM has its Piceadilly, or street of clubs, the same as London. The only difference that may be noted here is that of race, for while the clubs of London's Piccadilly are mainly English, those of Harlem's Piccadilly are strictly Negro. But so far as numbers, aged even diversity, go, the club-house street in the English city has little on the club-house street in our own Harlem. Of course, there are no African kings and princes to be seen wending their way into these club houses, but now and then a direct descendant of this lineage may be observed entering one of these social and political homes. Harlem's Piccadilly is 136th street, between Lenox and Seventh avenues. With this area, there are five home-fide clubs and associations. These are the Pullman Porters' Athletic and Social Club at No. 105, the Turf Club at No. 111, the Dixie Democratic Club at No. 112; the John R. Neel's Association Inc., at No. 113, and the My-O-bish Club at No. 129. Of these the Pullman Porters Club is the oldest in point of residence. But aside from its reputation as an area of club homes this part of the street is noted for something else, something more historical with the growth of Harlem as a center of Negro business and activities. It was in this neighborhood that the first business building ever erected by a Negro in New York City was built. We refer to the Madame Walker's Building at Nos. 108-110 West 136th street. The Pullman Porter's Athletic and Social Club is diagonally opposite this building. It is the only club house of its kind in the country for Pullman porters and other railroad men. In fact, it might be said that it is the only tangible thing that Pullman porters as a body may point to as being absolutely their own, to govern and direct as they see fit. This independence, however, hasn't been gained without internal disturbances. In its infancy, some of the earlier members tried to divert the club into a personal affair, to destroy the aims for which it was organized. Fortunately the majority of the membership were interested enough in the organization to take things in their own hands, with the result that today, after seventeen years of existence, the organization has one of the best appointed club homes in Harlem. It is a club home in which the fastidious may enter with ease, and into which no one may hesitate to invite members of his family or friends. The Evening Telegram's reporter, who visited the Brotherhood of Sleeping car Porters' headquarters at 2311 Seventh avenue recently, should have gone around afterwards to this organization's quarters. Perhaps he would not have gleaned the same color for his story, for tips and "snakes" are not discussions to be heard here. As a matter of fact, "shop" is seldom heard discussed within the club's rooms. But here is what the Telegram's reporter would have noted. He would have seen a club house that compared favorably in appointments with the Press Club downtown, and if he had been escorted through the entire building he would really have been surprised. He would have observed on the first floor a reception room containing club furnishings of consistent taste, and, on the same floor, a second room in the rear which is used as an office and meeting room, on the walls of which are hung several artistic parapets by old masters. A walk to the second floor would have brought him to the club's pool and billiard room, which is served by a white-coated attendant. Probably some member would have invited him to "take a cue". Another flight up, and he would have been in the card room. Here he also would have seen a uniformed attendant. And if he were a reporter of the observing kind, he would have noted the perfectness of its appointments as a card room. He would likewise have seen on its walls the pictures of Negro men who were famous in their day in the sport, theatrical, fraternal and intellectual world. Apart from its interior decorations and furnishings, this club is a credit to its membership in other ways. Its officers are representative of the best type of porters in the Pullman service. W. H. Bowe, the newly-elected president, is a young man who has a program. So he informed the writer, is to have the club a bigger and better organization. He wants Harleen in general and the railroad fraternity in particular to become better acquainted with the ambitions of the club. Mr. Bowe feels that the organization should play a more constructive part in the fraternal life of the porters; also a more conspicuous role in the various uplift movements that are being carried on in the community. In speaking to this reporter on the subject, Mr. Bowe said: "Of course, I cannot do these things alone; I must have the co-operation of the membership. But if this is given in the same spirit in which I am asking it, I feel that the Pullman Porters' Athletic and Cocal Club will be an organization with which every member will be propud to be identified." Besides Mr. Bowe, the present executive officers of the club are R. B. Hidridge, 1st vice-president; W. F. Dunn, 2nd vice-president; G. H. DeForster, financial secretary; C. H. Gardin, treasurer; P. V. Braithwaite, recording secretary; J. L. Perkins, chairman of house committee.

Employees, especially of such generous gifts without some The tribute paid the former, superintendent of the Penn. Terminal district, J. F. Mitchell, in this column last week, by W. C. Hart, one of the men who served under him, furnished those persons who have only known the man by what they have read in the press with a different picture of this Pullman official. In fact out of his, Mr. Mitchell has always borne the reputation of being a "hard" man. During the past two years that conception has been freely circulated, as well as considerably stressed. How much vulture there was to it, we do not undertake here to say. For it has been our experience to note that all officials, whether railroad or Pullman, and whether deserved or not, get the reputation of being lacking in humane feelings. One will find this opinion general among all groups of railroad workers. Concerning their supervisors. And it is only when one of these officials retires or dies that these employees will say, "oh, he wasn't so bad after all." But, as we started off to say, Mr. Mitchell had been pictured to us in a different light. He may have been austere in his manner of handling his men; probably he was. But under this austerity, according to the panegyric that appeared in this column he possesses all the commendable qualities of a warm and sympathetic disposition. Any official handling as many different groups of employees as there are in the Pullman employment, who has been known to go to the extent of siding at times the various needy cases which are always turning up from his personal funds, is not such a hardhearted person after all. This is what Mr. Mitchell's culogizer said he did in many instances while superintendent. Furthermore, the ex-superintendent had a credo. He was always willing to help the man who was trying to help himself. Especially, we are sold, did he believe in extending aid to the man who was ambitious to own his own home, rear his family decently, and had church and fraternal connections. We were also informed that as proof of his desire to give the Negro employee a chance, during his ten years superintendency of the Penn. Terminal district he opened more clerical positions to colored men in this district than any other superintendent and district in the Pullman service. That alone indicates that the former superintendent was not such a "tight" man towards his Negro employees, since it is left solely to the dissection of the superintendent of a district, as to which employees under him are given clerical positions. What opinions some persons may hold of Mr. Mitchell, and what may be Mr. Mitchell's opinion concerning them, are not matters for our comment. But, we do say this: He isn't so bad as he has been painted, that is, if we may believe Mr. Hart and those employees of the Penn. Terminal district, whose testimonial to their former chief was the gift of a $500 diamond ring and a set of golf clubs. Employees, especially of railroad connections, do not make such generous gifts without some very good reason.

Dr. Harten Warns People Not To Vote For Smith Rev. Thomas S. Harten, pastor Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. has just completed an extensive tour covering three States, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He spoke to thousands on religious, civic and political issues. The principal object of the tour was for the purpose of creating more interest in race and greater support for Negro professionals and urge the race to become producers as well as consumers; landlords and tax-payers as well as tenants and rent-payers. Dr. Harten advised his heiress that "The time is not ripe for the Negro to vote for a Democratic President." In almost every place where he is running, he is voting for Al Smith, especially. "There are a large number of our people," he said, "in different places who are climbing on Al Smith's hand wagon, but Governor Smith is one of the most important New York State has ever had. If he is heedless of our rights in liberal New York a city and state where there are more Negro votes than any other State in the Union, what will his party surround by some of our most dangerous foes from below the Mason-Dixon Line."

Saturday, March 24, at the Scoutmaster's Council Meeting, he heard they selected a Field Day committee. That means plans are made for a fun real fun sometime in May or June. Scoutmaster Glenn and his troops must be going in for photography. They had a swell flashlight picture made last Monday evening at their troop meeting, and the team had a great time. My friend Scout Lewis beat me to it, and found out what Mr. Bobbs is doing at the "Y" on Saturdays, but I am going to give him a run for his money, for it's all good fun. But but wasn't there some crowd at the district examinations at the Urban League Wednesday evening, March 28. All of the Scouts couldn't be examined in the assembly hall. By camping there ought to be a crowd of 1st class scouts in the district, which would be heard of for some 1st class scout this summer at camp. One lst class scout, who is well up in "Nature Study", can go to camp, for nine whole weeks free of charge. Wouldn't that be a great opportunity? "Eagle Hodge?" Take a tip from me and see your scoutmaster and Mr. Goodman about this at once. But coming back to the matter of the number of lst class scouts by camping season, read where we are, and count our fourteens ever reach "Eagle Rank". Suppose we have 400 scouts in our district, which I think we have, that means about 38 ought to be Eagle scouts But suppose we say a scout seldom reaches, Eagle unless, we say we ought to send at least 200 to camp, and if they were all lst class, which will not be so, we ought to have 19 Eagle scouts in the fall. But at least we can try for three. And believe me I am going to scuffle with them. We just got to stop, fellows, for all that arithmetic tired me out. But just one more tip. If you know any outstanding scout in the district, get a line on what he has done and his picture and leave it in New York. Age often maybe you'll see it in print, Soul scouts.
