Robinson, for the past fifteen years chief Red Cap porter at the Pennsylvania Station, New York City, has had one of the most successful careers and enjoys as high esteem among railroad men as any Negro in the Metropolitan district. Mr Robinson was born in High Point, N. C., the oldest son of John and Celia Robinson.

While in the Pullman service Chief Robinson was given two wonderful opportunities to see various parts of this country. One of the trips was made with the Crown Prince of Siam on a tour about the country. One of the many friendships Chief Robinson has made since being stationed in Pennsylvania, William H. Egan, who is popular with all the Red Caps and other employees at this station.

The present average number of porters does not include the extras; mostly school boys take summer months. The porting time is divided into six watches, each watch working nine hours, with an hour off for lunch. Esteemed by His Men. Though a strict disciplinarian, Chief Robinson is reasonable and just with his men and is 'held in high esteem by them'. Under his supervision, the men at this station have formed, a vifile organization themselves and this organization conducts a very simi- tization insurance. The men are divided into clubs, clubs, clubs, ten cents clubs, 25 cents clubs, etc. No dieu are paid unless a member becomes sick. Then each member of his club pays the sick member whatever the agreed per week is for, a certain number per week. After that time the sick benefit decreases. In case of death a special assessment is made. The men who assist Chief Robinson are L. S. Gahson, assistant chief; F. O. Jones, W. N. Hedgeman, W. O. Farron and W. P. Jenkins, captains.

DORRENCE BROOKS SQUARE SUGGESTED FOR CIVIC CENTER Mrs. Esther Archer, Civic Worker, Points Out Site For Monument DORRENCE BROOKS SQUARE SUGGESTED FOR CIVIC CENTER Mrs. Esther Archer, Civic Worker, Points Out Site For Monument In Harlem, just below the College of the City of New York and facing St. Nicholas Park, is a triangular plot of ground known as Dorrece Bresson. The name was given to the plot several years ago at the augmentation of the then Alderman, Attorney John William Smith, in honor of Dorrece Brooks, a New York City boy who was killed in action while a member of the famous Old Fifteenth Regiment in France. Mrs. Esther Archer, a reader, of The Age and gell known as a civic worker, has made the suggestion that this plot become the site for a monument to commemorate the bravery of Negro soldiers in the late world war. Her letter to The Age is as follows: Editor of The New York Age: Your valuable medium ever brings to this community that which is always for our best interest, I am submitting to you a thought that has been on my mind for some time. I: Harlem, decidedly Negroid, should take the initiative in promoting constructive ideas. The clearing away of the debris from Dorrece Brooks Square, brings to my mind that we owe to our boys a memorial fitting to the sacrifice they made in the world war. "In this square, located in the most beautiful section of New York City, surrounded by all that inspires highest ideals, should be a monument portraying our group's contribution to the arts, spiritual, represented by St. Mark's Church; the educational side, represented by the Junior High School, the 'Teachers' Training School and The. College of the City of New York; the musical side, represented by the recently completed band, the piano; and the patriotic atmosphere of the mark gives. "My idea, which I sincerely hope will materialize, is as follows: A quadrangle base, typifying educational achievement, music, poetry, etc., with the names of such lead writers, S. Washington, P.W., S. Stearnbach, Col. Charles Young, Rey William H. Brooks, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, James Reese, Europe, William Tyers, William Dixon, and others, and atop this base a commanding military figure, by Miss Augusta Savage, or other one, who would be dedicated to Dorrence Brooks and his comrades in active service. The following would be a good inscription to go with this monument: "We gave all for our country; "we give to our people "Protection and equal opportunity?"

DR. BYRD MUST QUIT AS PASTOR OF J. C. CHURCH Lafayette Pres. Church Pulpit Declared Va- cant By Council Jersey City, N. J.—After months of dissension and strife, between the Rev Dr. William A. Byrd, pastor of Lafayette Presbyterian Church, and a large part of membership, the Presbyterian Council of New Jersey has finally taken action to settle the affairs by requesting Dr. Byrd to tender his resignation as pastor, giving him until June 1 to get out. It is reported that Dr. Byrd refused to accede to this demand and consequence of the Presbytery called a meeting of the congregation to, act on the matter of dissolving the connection between Dr. Byrd and the church. Notice of this action was read in the church on Sunday, April 15, by Moderator Grattan, who visited Lafayette Church for that purpose, without strong opposition on part of the pastor and his henchmen. It is said that so determined was Dr. Byrd that the notice calling the meeting should not be read that he called in detectives from the city: police force for the purpose of arresting Dr. Grattan and the church. But the officers, on reaching the church and finding out the identity of the people opposing Dr. Byrd, refused to act and remained on the outside. Woman Threw Books. But, one of the good sisters whose name is given as Mrs. Anne Turner, who was sitting in the congregation is, said, to have become so incensed at failure of the police officers to put, a stop to Moderaton Grattan, instead of the interior to jhym books, the interior to be walked up the aisle. One of the books is said, to have struck Dr. Grattan, on the foot, but it did not impede his progress. The notice, calling a meeting for Monday night, April 16, was duly read, notwithstanding the protests of Dr. Byrd's supporters. The meeting on Monday night and the inquiry was a determination opposition to the functioning of Dr. Grattan as moderator, but to no avail. It is reported that a group of the Byrd faction, composed, of Attorney Robert S. Hartgrove, J. T. Saunders, H. A. Bowley and a, M. Faulkner, even went to the extent of attempting to eject Moderaton Grattan from the interior. But, as a matter of precaution, police reserves had been sent for by the anti-Byrd group, and they were called on to protect the Presbytery's representative. The appearance of the officers quickly put a quietus on the recalcitrants, and the meeting proceeded in due order. The dissatisfaction of the Byrd's pastorate followed, and the meeting of Presbytery in allowing him until June 1 to get put was approved. Suits Against Dr. Byrd. In 'a speech, made to the congregation following 'this action, Dr. Byrd is, reported to have charged that he is being crucified, but that he is through. It is imitated and made no further effort to override the will of the Freshytery and the members of Lafayette Church. It will be recalled that last August he deposed almost the entire church officer, including Roland R. Hayes, a trustee and church treasurer, to pay more amenable to his administration with Lawyer Hartgrove as president. Following this action, Mr. Hayes entered suit against the pastor for $200, basing the charge on the allegation that Dr. Byrd had borrowed the money for the purpose of having been signed by of his members, a "William J. Morrison", and endorsed by himself, Byrd, but that the note matured it was not paid not could the man, "Morrison", he located. He further reported that Dr. Byrd is in case for some $70, in which it is alleged that a woman friend had borrowed that sum, placing it in a bank in dr. Byrd's name, for the carrying out of some work by a relative of Dr. Byrd. The alleged son that the fraud was not carried out and it is known that the woman has died as a result of the worry and distress entailed by the matter.

It happened on April 3. Miss Baker, picked up the man and attempted to render first aid, but it was aueless task.

ROLAND HAYES Race's Famous Tenor, Comes from Europe for one concert in Boston. ROLAND HAYES RETURNS FOR ONE BOSTON RECITAL Announced Intention To Remain In Europe For Whole Year Changed Word comes from Boston that Roland Hayes, the great tenor, who had intended reating in Europe throughout all of the present concert season, has evidently changed his only recital in America, this season at Symphony Hall, Boston; on Sunday afternoon, April 29. "The information at hand is of scant nature and gives no details as the singer's further plans and so when he will return immediately to Europe or stay in the United States for awhile. Since the recital is billed as 'his only recital' the conjecture is that he has been called on to give his recital, and is giving his admirers in the Hub City a chance to enjoy his romarkable art. "It will be regretted that New York is to be given no chance to have his recital a report from Europe, including that singing with 'more artistic effect than ever before in his career."

BISHOP P. A. WALLACE OF BROOKLYN WAS PRESIDING AND WAS ABOUT READY TO ANNOUNCE NEXT YEAR'S PASTORATES 10-Inch Pillars Supporting Gallery Driven Through Floor Below By Weight of Crowd Which Filled Seats and Aisles Camden, N. J.—Just as Bishop P. A. Wallace of Brooklyn, N. Y., presiding over the 55th annual session of the New Jersey annual conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church, which met here at the Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church last week, was on the point of reading the list of assignments for the next church year, on Sunday night, April 22, the east balcony of the church crashed under the weight of the crowd that jammed it to overflowing and one man was killed and more than fifty people injured. More than 1,500 people were crowded in the church, from as far north as New York and as far south as Delaware. In the balcony, even the aisles were jamed, and as the newly assigned pastor, the Rev. D. W. Jones assigned financial report, prior to reading of the assignments, the people crowded to the front of the balcony in an effort-to see what was going on. There was an ominous crack from the southeast corner of the church, where the balcony seated just below the edge of the balcony. In the same instant, the front of the balcony collapsed, and swung downward, catapulting the occupants to the floor below as though they were sliding on oiled boards. Eventually, the rear fastenings did not give way, and this probably saved scores of lives. The balcony swung as though hinged to the side walls, and this made a kind of shelter for those people sitting nearest the wall. But so great was the impact, of the edge of the balcony it collapsed, that least one person was thrown halfway across the church. George Brooks. Killed. George Brooks of Keyport, N. J., 34 years old, who was a 'delegate to the conference, was the man killed. He was seated in a 'paw under the rear balcony, and so the falling debris pinned him against the end of the pew as he arose in a vain leap. He had was broken and he died on the way to the New Jersey Hospital. The balcony was supported by 10-inch timber pillar, which ended in a shoulder, and an investigation showed that the weight of the crowd that packed the balcony had driven the balcony on the west side below. The balcony on the west side maintained intact, but those in the audience declare that the entire building rocked as though shaken by an earthquake. "I thought something exploded, said Bishop Wallace, who was shaken severely by the accident. I cannot understand how a person, the balcony escaped with their lives. The whole thing, people and all, seemed to crash down right on their heads like coal coming down on a coal chute. "I did not have a chance to give warning, but I suppose the screams of the balcony, it began to fall gave sufficient warning for most of those below to leap for their livest." Woman Trampled On. Mrs. Catherine Martin, 28 years old, of South Ninth street, was knocked down by the falling balcony. As she fell to the floor she was trampled upon by others who rushed for doors and windows. Two men who were seated nearby and whose identity was not learned carved her from the building. With nearly a spate of others, she was treated by De. Maurice V. Tangui, 63 Kaligna avenue, whos face was crowded by men and men who had suffered minor injuries. Included in the list of those, were injured and treated at the pitils were the following: Sarah Palmer, 62, Cape May, cuts and bruises of scalp. Carl Egerton, 14, of 147. Clovestreet cuts, of the scalp, left eye and chest. Harriet Bynum, 33, of 260. Railroad avenue, Hackensack, broken right shoulder, cuts and bruises, frets aback. Cary Ringle, 64 of 648. Cherry street broken right shoulder and ribs. Adam Huggins, 35, of 1210. South Eighth street, cuts on both hands. Rebecca Landin, 64, of 1482. Wood road, Staten Island, N. Y., broken, possible fracture of the skull, serious. place, Red Bank, broken right arm; Elise Egerton, 21, of 1147 Clorcet street, cuts and bruises, three broken ribs; Martha Mann, 51, Matawan, cuts and bruises; Maryton, 40, Matawan cuts and bruises; Verna Douglas, 41, of 1020 Linden street, both legs and back badly cut and bruised. Elizan Casley, 23, of 702 South Ninth street, cuts and bruises; Jennison, 53, -Matawan cuts and bruises; Stanley Wintaker, 29, of 313 Cherry street, cuts and bruises; Ida Parker, 43, Matawan, cuts and dislocation of shoulder and collar bone; Athaniel Thomas, 25, of Englewood, sprained back and bruises on head. Cooper Hospital. James W. Young, 110 North Iliffinois avenue, Atlantic City, cuts and bruises. Eleanore Ambrose, 39, of 824 Walnut street, cuts and bruises on arms and legs. Ella Johnson, 13, of 743 Chestnut street, cut on face. Minerva Thompson, 49, Red Bank cut on broken left arm. Eleven other persons, whose names were not taken by hospitals attendants, were treated at a Cooper Hospital for cuts and bruises. Scores of others were treated at the homes and of faces of physicians. Ralph Parker, of 917 South Ninth street, member of the congregation, probably saved his own life by clinging to one of the iron supports under the balcony as it fell. A bean caught atop the support and warded off the falling bodies and debris over his head. Cling To Window Slits Several of those in the balcony saved themselves from plunging upon beLOW by clausing to the win- nery milla. One man was cut severely hown by broken a window and leaped to the ground. Several others escaped similarly without mihap, Benjamin Horner of Somerville, one of the visiting churchmen, said it fall upon another man who was hooked unconscious by the impact. Horner declared he was too excited to know just what happened after- ward. "The pulpit awayed like a tree in the wind." Rev. Donowa, the pas- sage of the church said. "It seemed not though the whole church 'was widely falling inward. Men, wo- men and children tumbled down to together from the bakony on to the heads of those seated in 'the centre of the auditorium." Albert Flournoy, secretary of the Hunton Branch Y. M. C. A., pain- ted a graphic word picture of the scene. He was seated in the centre of the auditorium. "I had seen a chair and placed it in the centre aisle on the western side of the church," he said. "I heard a distinct crack noise and some women screamed: 'Fire immediately pandemonium broke loose. The noise seemed to come from the east side of the church. As I looked toward that section, I saw the overloaded balcony tooter for the practical part of a second and then fall. "It seemed as though the crack gave warning to numbers of persons of the imminent danger. Many of the people rushed from the balcony, crowded the aisles as it crashed down. Had the central lighting system failed, hundreds of people would have been killed in the panic. "As the balcony was tearing itself from the sides of the church—all in the space of a few seconds—I saw the grave danger to everyone in the church. I rushed to the exit at the rear of the church only to find the way blocked by a table that had been placed in the aisle for collection purposes. Scores of people were, surging against the table, unable to escape by the only exit which at the time remained. The two exits at the front of the church had been blocked by the falling balcony. Table Taken From Aisle. "With the help of John Blackson, superintendent of the Sunday school, I tore at this table and finally freed the exit. Hundreds of people made a rush for this floor and scaped from the building. "Meanwhile scores of others had broken windows in both sides of the church and had climbed from the building. Once outside many in the panic-streaked crowd again attempted to gain entrance to the church. Children had been torn away from their parents, husbands from their wives, and these, fearing that their loved ones had been killed or hurt, frantically attempted to resent. "I have never seen such a scene of utter confusion, Blackson, Robert-Royer and Policeman Henry Henry Hall did heroic work in assisting the men, women and children to escape. Hall ran to the Second District police station and summoned the policemen and firemen who took charge of the crowds and undoubtedly averted injury to many persons in the panic." Motor Buses Held. Motor buses in which some of the delegates had traveled in groups from all parts of the state, were pressed into service to take the injured to hospitals. Private machines also were commanded as police patrols from very district in the city respondeed to a general call for aid. Rev. B. C. Roheson, Paterson, was one of those who administered first aid on the sidewalks as the injured were carried out. Firemen and police were forced to chop away timbers and planking to extract some of the victims. They found out that of the score or more persons trapped under the wreckage few were injured. the balcony having fallen stantwise, leaving a small aperture between the wall and the edge of the balcony. It was necessary to chop through and "shore up" the front balcony before the firmen could enter the main door. Guards were posted about the building later to prevent the return of the churchmen for their possessions, which, with few exceptions were abandoned without a thought.

Seer Balcony Sway. Motor Busses Held. Robeson was slightly injured when knocked against a pew in the rush to escape. Though shaken by his experience, he remained calm in the panic and probably prevented greater loss of life by blocking a mad rush for the one small door at the rear. W. H. Davenport, of Charlotte, N. C., editor of the Star of Zion, the official church organ, was peated on the rostrum next to the bishop when the crash came. Some of those in the balcony dived head foremost nearly to the opposite side of the church," he said. It seemed remarkable to me that the loss of life was not greater in view of the general panic which followed the crash." He gave Dr. Robeson high praise for calm and prompt measures. While James Young, of Atlantic City, was driving a number of injured to Cooper Hospital, his machine was overturned at Eighth and Walnut streets in a crash with another machine. Young and John Nordosi, of South Eligth street, the other motorist, were injured and the crash victims shaken up. The pastor estimated the damage the damage to the church at more than $2500. Expensive stained glass windows, fixtures and furnishings were shattered or ruined. Mayor Winfield S. Price, who last December ordered a city-wide inspection of all public gathering places in order to avert just such a disaster as occurred Sunday night, ordered a rigid investigation into the collapse of the church balcony. The mayor declared he would make every effort to ascertain whether a limit had been placed the number of people who were to be permitted in the balcony and would seek to fix responsibility for overcrowding the structure.

J. Bishop P. A. Wallace of Brooklyn Presided During the Meeting Camden, N. J. The prime object of the church is not to raise money bitt to save men and women. When the church ceases to be a saving institution, it forfeits the right to exist in the community. We ought not to measure the church's value in dollars and cents The only reason why we raise money is to help the church save men, and so uplift the spiritual life of the church. So declared Rt. Rev. P. A. Wallace, of Brooklyn, presiding bishop at the fifty-fifth annual session of the New Jersey Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church being held here. Delegates from all parts of South Jersey are attending the conference which opened Wednesday, April 18. in Wesley Church, Sycamore and Ann streets. "The A. M. F. R. Zion Church is 132 years old," said Bishop Wallace in his opening address. "We are closing the most successful quadrennium in the history of the church." Exercise Welcome Delegates The delegates were welcomed to Camden at exercises in charge of Rev. George E. Ferris, pastor of the church. The principal address was made by Irving T. Nurt, member of the Board of Education. Other talks were made by Dr. T. T. Taylor, Bayonne; Mrs. Mary C. Simmone, representing the church; Bishop Wallace; Rev. J. M. Hognard, Jersey City; Bishop L. W. Kyles, Winston-Salem, N. C.; and Dr. William H. Goler, financial secretary of the conference. Rev. Henrietta Peters and Rev. Daniel C.

In addressing the conference on Friday night, Bishop C. G. Alleyne in charge of the West African work of the church, the Mt. Coffee Mission in Liberia, decried the "Back to Africa" movement. He said in part: "It is time we put our foot down on the "Back to Africa movement. We gave 200 years of unquired toil, we grave our brawn and shed our blood to win American citizenship. If American citizenship is worth the price we paid, then we ought to put our foot down on the "Back to Africa" movement. Let us say to the white man: "This is my country, this is my soil." "If we go back to Africa, 'we can't go back as presidents, kings or emperors,' declared Bishop Alleyne, who returned recently to the U. S. after four years in Liberia. 'When we go back we are required to take off, our American dress and put on African attire so that we can be initiated.'" Scorea Missionary Methods. Bishop Alleyne also scored the methods of many missionaries in Africa. "Missionaries can't go among any people with a feeling of superiority," he declared. "You can't sneer at their customs. You can't change customs over night. It is my belief that the African is more interested in education than in religion. The cry of his soul is to know. There is no chance to evangelize Africa without first educating the masses. To build up such you must build up a school. The British are trying to improve conditions. The English government has offered to co-operate with us in building schools, better roads and making other improvement. "There is a rising tide of chagrin every time a white government takes charge of a Negro government. But every time this happen's improvements are always certain to happen. They erect schools, build roads, start industries and improve living conditions This has happened in Liberia. It is now over to be up a culprit to earn recognition through our deeds. One of our race has done this. He was Booker T. Washington. 'We need more of this type in our race today.' The conference adjourned Sunday night, in the midse of the calamity caused by the collapse of a section of the balcony, when, as told in another column, one man was killed and more than a half hundred persons, men, women and hundred persons, men, women and children injured, the women brought to mind a similar accident which occurred in Fleet Street A. E. Zion, Church, Brooklyn, many years ago, when a collapse of the church killed and injured many of those who were attending a meeting which was being held there.

C.—President Coolidge's choice for the Republican presidential nomination is said to be Dwight W. Morrow, U. S. Ambassador to Mexico, whom Mr. Coolidge drafted from the international banking House of Morgan for the Mexican This story was first heard in circles which cannot be denied credence, when the Republican National Committee concluded its sessions here last 'December,' and was offered in explanation of the reason for National Committee Chairman Butler's switch to Kansas City 'as place of the Republican National' Convention when San Francisco, choice of 'Vice Chairman Charles D. Hiles,' of New York, was apparently winner. San Francisco is in California, Hoover's home state; and Hoover is not favored by Chairman Butler, who is credited with being close to the President. Additionally, other events of recent occurrence, afford too many coincidences, maybe, to justify the conclusion that, the 'Coolidge for Morrow' talk is just gossip. The Massachusetts Situation. Ambassador Marrow, who has made an excellent job of smoothing our way is turbulent Mexico, is known of by about every one in 20,000 Republican voters. But he is to return home in June while the Republican National Convention is in session to deliver the commencement address at the University of West Virginia, in which state, U. S. Senator 'Guy' Goff (Republican) is busy with a far-fetched 'favorite son' candidacy for the presidential nomination on his own account. This will afford the Marrow managers the opportunity to parade his achievement of prominence in the fields of international banking and diplomacy attributes of an ideal Republican president. There is the Massachusetts situation. In President Coolidge's state Governor Puller is the best voter getter, but anti-organization Endeavor and National Committee chairman Butler is head of the organization. The state is for Hower, with Coolidge out. Butler is anti-Hooler, and, Butler is said to be running the show as Coolidge directs. On the organization date for alternate delegate-at-large to the National Convention in 1924 was Robert F. Stevens, prominent Negro attorney of Pittsfield. Stevens went to Cleveland in 1924 and probably would have made Kasas City in June. He came out for Hower, and was immediately shived by Butler. Gov. Fur is for Hower and intended to be one of an "instructed for Hower" delegation-at-large. The organization prevailed. Puller steps aside, but immediately got a law from the Legislature which rritually compels the primary voters to "instruct" their elected delegates to the Convention. I the 11th Congressional Dept. (Tinkham's), the Fuller slate convention delegates, seeks section as pro-Hoover, while the organization slate' wants to go un-udged. So the circumstantial evidence of Coolidge for Morrow through Butler is somewhat con-clusive. Big Business Anti-Hoover Of all his Cabineteers, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon is credited with being closest, to the President, Mr. Mellon has not indorsed flower and is said to be, and to always have been, bitterly opposed to the dynamic Commerce Secretary. Like Ambassador Morrow, Secretary Mellon is of the "big business" group; and the children know that big-business wants none of Hoover. Additionally Mr. Mellon lives in Pittsburgh, also the home of a leading Negro weekly newspaper, whose editor, in the April 21 issue, wrote over his name an article on the national political situation, in which, after conceding the democratic nomination for President to Gov. Smith of New York, the editor argues that it will take a man like Dwight W. Morrow, (Ambassador to Mexico to beat Al Smith, And forasmuch as this editor has no "small tune connections his argument for Morrow for Republican standard bearer places the seal of authority on the "Coolidge for Morrow stuff. A Veteran's Prediction. Back at the time when most everybody, including this writer, believed that President Colidge's legatee was Secretary Hoover a veteran analyst of political situations here said "No." And even through this accurate analyst is for Dawes he argued that the "lily-white" activities in the South were "inspired" to serve as a check to, and ultimate elimination of, Hoover who had been pledged the Negro controlled delegations from Georgia and Mississippi. Hoover then abolished segregation in his Bureau of Census, which has been followed by Secretary of the Interior Work, who at first refused point blank to remove the stain of segregation from his domains. Secretary Work is chief of the Hoover for President boosters. And it is momentarily expected that Mellon will ban segregation from the Treasury department—in the interest of Dwight Morrow's candidacy. New Jersey Women Hold Big Banquet at Trenton Trenton, N.

"Nowhere is there to be found the evidence of sound race progress," continued Dr. Moton, "as it is seen right, here. Last year it was - my privilege to travel extensively over many parts of the civilized world and see the condition of our fellows as they contend with their peculiar problems. I am now fully convinced that the American Negro is far ahead of his oppressed brothers, and that this country is to set the example for the rest of the world in the right relations between the two extremes, the white and the black, of mankind." Introduced by Mayor Dr. Moton was introduced by the mayor of St. Augustine as the leader of the race, Mayor F. D. Uchurch said that he felt it an honor to introduce such a national character and to witness the dedication of the two fine buildings just finished on the magnificent campus of the Florida Normal and Collegiate Institute. "In St. Augustine," Mayor Uchurch said, "we have an example of good- and cooperative behavior that we race that has stood the test of the years. Not one blot of lynching or other race disturbance has besmirched the good reputation of this city." Principal Nathan W. Coller, who presented the Mayor to introduce Dr. Moton, said that at no time had he failed to get the full encouragement and cooperation of the best citizens of St. Augustine, in the work at the Florida Normal and Collegiate Institute and that it is largely due to that encouragement and cooperation that the institute enjoys its present large proportions and usefulness. School - Officials Present Among the prominent colored persons present were President M. M. Bethune of the Bethune-Cookman College, Daytona Beach, Fla., President A. B. Cooper of Edward Waters' College, Jacksonville, Fla., President F. R. E.

FEDERAL RIGHTS OF NEGROES ARE NOW ENDANGERED Prompt Action Needed To Defeat Bill Fathered By Senator Norris Washington, D.C.-Dr. James Scott, member of the advisory committee of the Republican National Committee, calls attention to the need of a bureaucrator organization of some character, at here in Washington to point out, when necessary, the character of proposed legislation affecting the interest of the twelve million colored people of the United States. Many an unconcert-appearing bill, he says, is introduced from time to time, in the House of Representatives and in the Senate of the United States, having as a legal possibility the setting aside of some basic privilege or immunity designed for the benefit of a particular group or class of people. It is said that there are nearly 300 national organizations maintained at Washington for the purpose of detecting the introduction of such legislation affecting such groups. Recently a bill was introduced in Congress which would have removed practically every colored employee from the office of the Recorder of Decies if Dr. Scott had not arroused the colored newspapers of the country and influential individuals and organizations, printing out to them the result of such legislation, if passed. It was only because of the fact that prompt word was sent to the colored newspapers of the country and to the officers of the leading organizations of one kind and another that the citt was thwarted. A Dangerous Bill It now happens that there was introduced in the Senate of the United States on February 15, 1928, a Bill, S 3151 (Report No. 620) to limit the jurisdiction of District Courts of the United States. While the bill primarily appears to be designed to relieve the heavy debtors of Federal Courts, this bill would seriously affect the rights of the colored people of the United States. If such rights should be in any way infringed and colored Ameras should bring suit to enjoy action against cry or state legislation or against individuals entrenching such legislation when such legislation violates the Federal Constitution as it affects colored people, jurisdiction will be limited under the terms of this bill and such cases will be referred to State Courts for adjudication. Every step possible should be taken at once to prevent such legislation. The Bill has already been reported by the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate. The Republican members of the committee are as follows: George W. Warner, Neiberg; William E. Burrow, Jody Boeh, Charles S. Deneen, Ilmus, Frederick H. Gullert, Massachusetts; Guy D. Coffey, Indiana; Arthur B. Coffey, Indiana; John B. Kringwesen; Frederick Sawyer, Oregon and Charles W. Waterman, Colorado. It is suggested that these members of Big Judiciary Committees on the Senate be communicated with at once and that letters be sent to Con gressmen and influential friends both parties calling attention, to the result which would follow insofar calored Americans are concerned, if this legislation should pass Congress. According to Thomas M. Noel, proprietor of Noel's Grocery at 277 West 134th street, success in business depends more on individual effort, ability and knowledge than on any other factor. Noel does not like the term "Negro business," Business, and especially the retail grocery business, is not limited by race and is conducted in much the same way by various races. The grocery store that can carry a large and varied assortment of foodstuffs at low prices and give courteous and efficient service will be successful regardless who own it, says Mr. Noel! Incidentally he is competing successfully against a white grocery across the street. He came to New York last April from Boston where he learned the grocery business and conducted his own store for seven years. Next month will be the first anniversary of his New York establishment. Comparing business methods in New York with those of Boston, Mr. Noel said that it was necessary for a person operating a small busier for a person operating a small busier in this city to be much more alert than in the other cities are so many 'sharks' in New York ready to defraud you if you are not on the alert, concluded the grocer. Columbus Hill Day Nursery Celebrates Seventh Anniversary The seventh anniversary of the Columbus Hill Day Nursery at 228 West old street was celebrated with an interracial amuse- cade at the Shrine Friday evening.

As the writer sees it, the long struggle of the Negro to enjoy legal equality has proved a losing one. "Heaten in the state courts he has carried his problem to the highest Federal tribune—and there found scant, if any, relief." This may be a too sweeping view of the situation, but it has much to warrant, it as shown by the adverse decisions cited, in which the Supreme Court has upheld Jim crow laws and denied the doctrine of human rights. of the suffrage is limited to a small number of white voters, is that they have no idea of the amount of money involved in merely paying the cost of postage and printing, in mailing a circular letter, to the enrolled voters of a state with the millions of population embraced in New York, Pennsylvania or Illinois. What would be a tremendous campaign fund for a state, like Georgia, or Mississippi would not go far in meeting the incidental expenses of a primary contest, or election campaign in a Northern state where suffrage is truly popular. Nevertheless, the matter of election expenditures can be carried to excess, so in self-defence, some candidates for office have declared against any unnecessarily large amounts being spent. One of the latest to declare himself on this question is the Hon. Joseph Frelinghuysen, former Senator from New Jersey, who has entered in the race to again serve in that capacity. In the Nation Wide Review, it was recently announced in connection with his candidacy that in case of the excessive use of money in this contest Mr. Frelinghuysen stated that he would unhesitatingly expose it and let the public be the judge of the political situation. In the discussion of the purpose of these jim crow laws, Senator George did no pussyfooting. He frankly avowed that they were "the result and expression of long years of experience," and defended them as "the exercise of every State's inherent right to pass such police statutes as to it seem proper." The specious nature of his argument is apparent in the following quotation: LOWDEN, A FAVORITE SON. The action of the Republican State convention at Springfield last week, in instructing the Illinois delegation to the Kansas City convention to vote for former Governor Frank O. Lowden for the nomination for President, has given renewed impetus and importance to his candidacy. Mr. Lowden now has the entire votes of his state solidly behind him and enjoys all the prestige due to a favorite son. This is as it should be because of the fact that his administration as Governor was one that reflected credit upon the State and the executive. The administration of Governor Lowden exemplified the saying attributed to the late Grover Cleveland, that public office is a public trust. The interest of the state under his direction received the same degree of care and diligence that would be exerted by a faithful trustee or guardian. The interests of all elements of the population were considered and safeguarded to the full extent of the executive power without bias as to race, creed or color, and with scrupulous exertitude in the rendering of justice to all causes of citizens. The record made by Governor Lowden in the matter of the Chicago riots shows the kind of executive he proved to be in the stress of a great emergency. "The South has found that by separating the whites and blacks, so far as can be done, its peace and order are best preserved." We have no intention of ever admitting to the man as our social equal, and we can keep him from being in our social station — by keeping away from him. This would seem to clear the situation in New Jersey from any fear of any possible corruption of the voters in the Senatorial contest. Under such conditions, the chances of Mr. Frelinghuysen for regaining his former seat would seem to be most favorable, as his record and character commend him to all voters of his state, regardless of race or color. His interest in the cause of education specially commends him to Negro voters. "The whole situation in the South, my friend, reverts to and is based on the ground of racial necessity. We may be wrong in the methods we have followed to preserve our Caucasian integrity, but we have proceeded as it has been given us to see the light. No statutory law, no organic law, no military law, supersedes the law of racial necessity and social identity. We have been very careful to obey the letter of the Federal Constitution—but we have been very diligent and astute in violating the spirit of such amendments and such statutes as would leash the Negro to believe himself the equal of a white man. And we shall continue to conduct ourselves in that way." "Why apologize or evade? We have been very careful to obey the letter of the Federal Constitution—but we have been very diligent and astute in violating the spirit of such amendments and such statutes as would lead a man to neglect himself the equal of a white man. And we shall continue to conduct ourselves in that way." This is the crude and brutal doctrine upon which the Ku Klux Klan was bound and upon which the whole theory of white supremacy is based. Senator George's admission that the spirit of the constitution has been violated is in striking contrast with the effort made by the Rev. Sam Small and some Southern governors a year ago, to show that there was no such thing as nullification in the Southland. As for the whites of the south keeping away from the Negro, that is something that they have not been able or willing to do, in the past history of both races. Singularly enough, Senator George agreed that the wets have every right to oppose the Eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act and to work for the reevaluation of either or both of them. He claimed that the amendment could be killed by simply electing a Congress to repeal the Volstead act and refuse to pass any enforcement law in its place, but until the present law is repealed, he held that the Federal authorities are in duty bound to enforce it. Evidently the senator is opposed to the exercise of the police power by the Federal government or good and sufficient reasons. And yet he inconsistently maintains that the enforcement or repeal of the dry laws "has nothing to do with what the South does under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments." The fact that such Southern statesmen as Senators George and Glass are assuming the defensive in the nullification of the war amendments is significant. Because the Supreme Court has hitherto largely supported the Southern states in their jim crow legislation is no sign that such support will continue indefinitely. Recently decisions in the highest Federal court have shown a tenency toward a more liberal interpretation of the doctrine of human rights. While the court is the bulwark of conservatism it cannot remain impervious to the spread of humanitarian sentiment and the growth of modern democracy, the spirit of the age will eventually find expression in the modification of jim crow laws and the extension of the rights to life, liberty and property, without discrimination as to race or color. There is an advancing South yet to come upon the scene of action, which cannot honestly accept the brutal dogma avowed by such Bourbons as Senator George. WATCHING FEDERAL LEGISLA TION. This is the crude and brutal doctrine upon which the Ku Klux Klan was founded and upon which the whole theory of white supremacy is based. Senator George's admission that the spirit of the constitution has been violated is in striking contrast with the effort made by the Rev. Sam Small and some Southern governors a year ago, to show that there was no such thing as nullification in the Southland. As for the whites of the South keeping away from the Negro, that is something that they have not been able or willing to do, in the past history of both races. The necessity for keeping watch on the underlying purpose of much of the legislation introduced into the Federal congress at Washington is a real need, as set forth by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, in his capacity as a member of the advisory committee of the Republican National Committee. A bureau or organization of some sort at Washington is suggested to investigate, and point out the character of this sort of legislation. The bill intended to place the office of recorder of deeds under the district government was cited, as an example of this kind of danger, as it would have involved the removal of practically every colored employee. It is for this reason that The Age is disposed to look upon the former Governor of Illinois as the proper type of man, who would bring to the office of President the poise and equipment calculated to make the presidency a position of power and responsibility. He would strike a keynote of sanity and justice on the subject of human rights, without allowing special privileges for any element, at the cost of discrimination against others. The record shows that in this respect the former Governor of Illinois has been fair and square in all his public acts. Singularly enough, Senator George agreed that the wets have every right to oppose the Eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act and to work for the repeal of either or both of them. He claimed that the amendment could be killed by simply electing a Congress to repeal the Volstead act and refuse to pass any enforcement law in its place, but until the present law is repealed, he held that the Federal authorities are in duty bound to enforce it. Evidently the Senator is opposed to the exercise of the police power by the Federal government for good and sufficient reasons. And yet he inconsistently maintains that the enforcement or repeal of the dry laws "has nothing to do with what the South does under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments." The fact that such Southern statesmen as Senators George and Glass are assuming the defensive in the nullification of the war amendments is significant. Another bill of a dangerous nature introduced in the Senate is entitled "to limit the jurisdiction of District Courts of the United States." While primarily designed to relieve the heavy dockets of the Federal courts, this bill would seriously affect the rights of the race, by remanding suits involving the violation of the Federal constitution to the state courts, which in most cases, such as those involving peonage, would mean that there would be no redress at all. This bill has been reported by the judiciary committee, which includes the following Republicans among its members: Senators Norris of Nebraska, Borah of Idaho, Deneen of Illinois, Gillett of Massachusetts. Goff of West Virginia. Robinson of Indiana, Blaine of Wisconsin, Steier of Oregon and Waterman of Colorado. In addition to the solid backing of his own state in the convention and at the polls, it must not be forgotten that Mr. Lowden has the advantage of being recognized as the champion of the farmers of the West. At the same time his record as a business man should make him acceptable to the business interests of the East. If the coming presidential election is to be settled by the votes of the Western states, as now looks probable, the Republican convention will be wise to weigh carefully the elements of strength that Mr. Lowden would bring to the ticket. The danger at present seems to be that, with the bulk of the votes divided between Mr. Lowden and secretary Hoover, a deadlock may ensue, to be broken only by the selection of a candidate of negative qualities, decided upon as the result of some hotel room bargain. Such a consummation should be avoided if the Republican leaders are desirous of electing their candidate. Only a candidate possessing character and record equal to that of Mr. Lowden can bring out the full votes of the party this year. It is suggested that letters be sent to these members of the committee, calling their attention to the effect that the passage of this measure will have in cutting off the right of appeal to the Federal Courts for those rights conferred by the National constitution. This is a real danger that might be averted by concerted action on the part of the race in every part of the country. Eternal vigilance is not only the price of liberty, but is essential to preserving the way open for the attainment of liberty and equal citizenship. The character of the bills dropped into the hopper of Congress should be carefully scrutinized, so that any jokers may be detected and killed in their incipiency. Because the Supreme Court has hitherto largely supported the Southern states in their jim crow legislation is no sign that such support will continue indefinitely. Recently decisions in the highest Federal court have shown a tendency toward a more liberal interpretation of the doctrine of human rights. While the court is the bulwark of conservatism it cannot remain impervious to the spread of humanitarian sentiment and the growth of modern democracy. The spirit of the age will eventually find expression in the modification of jim crow laws and the extension of the rights to life, liberty and property, without discrimination as to race or color. There is an advancing South yet to come upon the scene of action, which cannot honestly accept the brutal dogma ayowed by such Bourbons as Senator George. Confidence in the good faith of Republican leaders is at low ebb among the masses of Negro voters. The selection of a strong-candidate with a record for fairness and square dealing, would do much to restore that confidence. VIOLATING SPIRIT OF CONSTITU TION According to an article in Liberty, a popular weekly magazine of large circulation, the Supreme Court of the United States is directly responsible for making a dead letter of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. This was brought out in an article-written by Sidney Sutherland and published in the issue of April 21. Starting with the contention of the opponents of the Eighteenth amendment that the wet sections of the country have ample justification for disobeying prohibition laws because the Southern States have nullified the war amendments, Mr. Sutherland sought to examine the process by which the Negroes in the South have been deprived of their rights to life, liberty, property and the suffrage. PLEDGES MEAN SOMETHING When an individual signs a pledge to contribute a certain amount to some religious or charitable institution, payable it a certain time, it means that the payment must be made or the maker of the dledge may be hailed into court. A justice of a municipal court in Staten Island, which is part of New York City, decided that under a law passed a few years ago, pledge cards were the equivalent of contracts, and that it was mandatory up- When an individual signs a pledge to contribute a certain amount to some religious or charitable institution, payable at a certain time, it means that the payment must be made or the maker of the pledge may be hailed into court. A justice of a municipal court in Staten Island, which is part of New York City, decided that under a law passed a few years ago, pledge cards were the equivalent of contracts, and that it was mandatory upon him to enforce payment by giving judgment for the institution to which the contribution had been promised. There were ten cases of this kind involved, in which the signers had promised contributions toward a hospital, but failed to pay their pledges. EXCESSIVE CAMPAIGN COSTS. The excessive use of money in political contests, has been pretty freely ventilated by a special investigating committee of the United States Senate, in connection with the recent campaign of two Republican candidates for that body. Whether there was as much corruption involved in these contests as was alleged by Senator Reed of Missouri and other Democratic trouble makers, is doubtful, but at least the credentials of Senators Vare of Pennsylvania and Smith of Illinois were immeasurably stronger than the titles to office held by any of the Senators from the Solid South. The trouble with most of the critics of campaign expenses, especially if they In making up this record the writer of the article not only made considerable research along legal lines but secured Four of the guumber who appeared in but finally admitted their signatures. The others said they were in better financial condition when they signed, but pleaded that they had suffered reverses since. The president of the hospital corporation regretted having been forced to take legal measures to collect the pledges, but claimed that all other means had failed and the hospital needed the money. There were fifteen hundred pledges still unpaid, of which one thousand have not paid even the first instalment. The hospital authorities, are firm in their insistence, that those who signed pledges shall be made to pay them, even if it requires taking the delinquents to court. In these days of drives for one charitable project and another, the making and taking WEEKLY NOTES FROM INDIA By The Age Special Correspondent Useful Discoveries. The approved Anglo-Indian theory about Indians is that they are very poor because they are 'lazy and refuse to make more' money. In contrast with this contemptuous disregard on the part of the foreign vested interests in India of the contemptuous authorities are given to the children of the soil for providing themselves with a career is the experience of Mr. Hallsworth of the British Trade Union Delegation which is investigating Indian working classes condition. He has made, even during his short stay here, some important discoveries and has spoken at the third session of the Madras and the Southern Maratha Railwaymen's Conference. His first discovery is that human life is very cheap in India, particularly the life of the peasant and the industrial worker. He has also discovered how hypocriticism is the attitude of their society who ask him "to tomb of Indians with the Englishman's mind and eye." Mr. Hallsworth was told that the Indian worker could live on very little 'This is a convenient theory for the economic exploiters of India to hold, but Mr. Hallsworth was soon able to find out how not only did large mass Indian workers on very little they were allowed' as wages, but that they were living in a state of semi-starvation. This is just what Ghadi, Kalakatvala, and other Indian leaders, are saying. The workers cry in India for better wages, in some cases, at least a living wage, for better housing conditions, for better working conditions, which he Mr. Hallsworth's ears and has testified publicly to the justice of this cry. Nor has he failed to notice the arrogant and mischievous distinction made on the Indian railways-between the European and the Anglo-Indian and the Indians. Railway administration in India will continue to be costly so long as men in the Indian workforce claim to better treatment is that they have European blood in their veins are allowed to look upon 'railway service in India' as their preserve. Foreign Oil in Burma A conference of the General Council of Burmese Associations representing one of the two council boycott sections held at Minbu passed on Friday. The government of the foreign oil companies in Burma owing to the danger of the oil becoming exhausted and condemning the government for prohibiting the conference. The conference also confirmed that the solution passed by the National Congress at a December session at Madras regarding national independence. HEALTH IS HERE By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Pain is frequently the body's method of telling us there is some existing physical defect. It may be only a slight one, as, for instance, pressure on the toes caused by shoes that are ill fitting. On the other hand, it may be something quite serious. A number of ailments often make themselves known first by pain. So no one of us should let pain go unheeded. Of course, there are many simple paints, such as a dark marble by close air in a stuffy room which can be remedied easily by removing the underlying cause. Pains, due to slight indigestion are among those in this class. However, continued pain of any severe, slight, or due-to-shoulder nature is not a doctor for examination and have him take stock of your physical condition. Let your family doctor give you a complete medical examination to discover cause of the pain. It may be due to some physical defect which requires treatment and may be proper treatment and may save you greater suffering in later life. It is a good plan to make a habit of going to a competent physician regularly every year for a complete examination in order to be certain of your physical health. You will be well prepared to treat your health. of pledges for contributions has become so common, that the obligation is frequently lightly undertaken, without any serious intention of paying. Too often this is due to the well intentioned persistence of zealous solicitors, who urge the making of pledges far beyond the financial capacity of the makers. This is a mistake, as the crop of undereemed pledges that follow most every charitable drive confirms. The individuals solicited should be made to understand the nature of the pledge given, and that its payment is a legal obligation as well as a matter of good faith. It is time for the public to realize that pledges of this kind mean something, and that they should be met as religiously as any other kind of obligation. Foolish and Ill-Adised. Oficialisation in Bengal has evidently lost its dead owing to the effective manifestation of national resentment in Calcutta against the Sirion Inquisition. The high-landed methods of the police' in that city in checking the justifiable enthusiasm of the student population of Calcutta have contributed not a little to the strained relations between iron-official Indians and the officials and their apologists. Such estrangement will now receive greater stimulus owing to the singularly foolish and ill-advised behavior of the Governor of Bengal, in giving threat to the University of Calcutta, on the occasion of its annual convocation of withdrawing government support to that body. In a sense it will be extremely useful to the cause of the university. The Governor of Bengal takes this suicidal step. But the absurdity of the proposal is so patent that even the "Statesman" (one of the official supporters and Anglo-Indian daily paper of Calcutta) is constrained to attend at the riotous individual through the University will succeed." The Difference In one of my previous notes, I made a side reference to the arbitrary action of the police in following an American lady and telling her that the persons with whom she is moving are undesirables and would be punished. Here is another instance of abuse power which the police wields in India. Miss Freda Selbar accidently travelled in the same boat with Pandit Motilal Schru, the Indian leader who has just returned from Russia. She was asked to withhold her powers from persons with whom she is going to put up in India and the places she is likely to visit. On her giving out that she was going to put up with Indians, the custom authorities examined all her bags in search of red leaflets and aggrant are to put up with Indians is a crime, the government should leave India immediately. If foreign visitors to India are willing to be chaperoned by officialdom, are content to see India and her problems through the official eyes, (like Miss Mayo's) the police is made smooth and delightful. If they desire, however to visit India to see the land through Indian eyes, and to stay with Indians, they will be made to realise promptly the difference between official smiles and official frowns. The Home member of the police, the Home member, but it will be better if the American government interests itself in the case and ascertain from Whitehall whether Miss Selbar's treatment as a political suspect was due to her be a great help in keeping up to par physically. Efficiency and You What is efficiency? Nearly everyone will agree that it is doing the thing we have been selected to do as quickly and as well as possible, with no waste effort. In order to do this one must keep the tools with which he works in good condition. An efficient worker, no matter what kind, takes special care of the things with which it works. The mechanic has his implements inspected when they are in good condition. The artist sees to it that his brushes and paints are kept carefully. The business man has his methods examined at regular intervals. If the tools used by any of these workers show even a slight sign of not being in perfect condition, the artist's search is made for the trouble. Then it is corrected as soon as it has been discovered. But efficiency does not depend entirely upon the tools. It is dependent also upon the man handling the tools. The bookkeeper whose hand is in his stock cannot lose his stock no matter how good his pen. No one do really good work if he is not in good physical condition. Yet, unfortunately, all persons do not take such good care of their bodies as they do of their typewriters, and adding machines. They do not have a family doctor for a thorough medical examination once each year. This is as important a part in keeping up one's efficiency as the care of one's tools. It is a way of protecting one's health, and health is a big asset to success. Paternory In its contention that many of the statements published concerning Negro miners were, false, the Pittsburgh Guard, commented on an address made by A. C. Thayer, head of the local Urban League, as follows: He repeated figures disproving the intimation statement that all the race miners in Western Pennsylvania were merely "ignorant cotton pickers" who knew nothing about coal mining. He punctured the bubble of the unionist in reference to the charge that former was immoral. He disproved the contention that race miners working locally were not making any money. In the face of facts, lies issued by union forces during this coal controversy melt away. There is little question that the substance of union interests in relation to the Negro have been believed by some. The array of figures concerning housing condition, morale, wealth, stability and expertise of this group is a valuable contribution to this widely discussed subject. Some statements made by the speaker, however, do not meet with our approval. We do not believe that there is any danger of riots in Pittsburgh if a large number of coal -miners do not work at jobs. We do not believe, that there is the least danger of any such wholesale dismissal of race labor in these mines. On the contrary their positions are as permanent as in any other industry and if there were any desire to remove them and settle with union force this is not correct. Cry of riot danger locally is merely a scare-crow set up by those who hate Negroes. In this class are the unionists of America. This Pittsburgh editor deplored the absence of previous protest against the unfair propaganda against Negro workers issued by the United Mine Workers of America, and commended the head of the local league for disproving the libels. Commenting on a story of success won by a 'North Carolina widowed mother and her two sons in dairy farming, the Norfolk Journal and Guide said: The success of this farm family is seen in the fact that the two 'boys who went 'North did not draw out of their rural attitude. They seized the opportunity to improve upon the rudimentary knowledge of a vocation to which they had been seeking to the steel mills or coal mines in the North, they went to the open country just as they had known in their native home, and it was not long before they realized that they had left their best opportunity behind them. Unlike thousands of other young men who have migrated from their hometown, they had the good sense to return to their farm and put into practice what they learned while away. There are hundreds of opportunities in the South just like, this one waiting for industrious young men. At no time in the history of the country, the farm had been overdeveloped, and it is a necessity; a food that is universally used and demanded in practically every home in the country, yet it retails in the cities at a price that makes its general use almost proprietary. It is an abundant opportunity to make good in dairy farming if one will take the time to acquire the requisite knowledge and has the capacity to accomplish much real work. Probably these sons were of the type of workers who would have made good in equal measure, if they had remained North and got hold of some abandoned farm. They had acquired a degree of skill in farming, which they were sensible enough to utilize. The Southern farm already owned provided the opportunity. According to the Indianapolis Recorder, there will be Negro candidates it the May primaries for offices running from coroner to Congressman. It said: The candidates have received the life as definedly as success gives one an opportunity to eifoy material comfort. Have a complete medical examination once a year, as regularly as you can, as much as the machinery inspected and put in good condition. Then—remember pain is a signal that something is wrong with the machinery of your body just as a knock in your automobile is a sign there is something wrong with the motor. Simple pain such as those you know are caused by slight indigestion or a headache from close air in a stuffy room may be remedied easily by correcting the underlying condition of any kind whether it be dull, sharp, or sudden—any unaccountable pain—should he taken as an indication that something is wrong. Go to your doctor and let him discover the trouble. It may be a simple case which can be corrected, you take care of it. You may save yourself greater suffering later on in life. Pain is the body's way of telling you here is physical defect to be remedied, and should be healed. Pain is the body's way of telling you physical condition—just as poor action of your typewriter makes you have it examined. Have a complete medical examination by a competent physician you have been with. You are keeping in good condition physically, and you will be doing much to keep your efficiency up to endorsement of various citizens, in the community. Among the candidates are: Dr. C. A. Toles, a candidate for Marion County Coroner; W. E. Henderson, a candidate for state representation; E. Louis Moore, a candidate for state senator; and Dr. J. Damie, a candidate for U. S. Congressman. Dr. Toles is a well-known local practicing physician. He has served as deputy Coroner, in the administration of Dr. Paul Robinson deceased. W. E. Henderson, a veteran attorney, has practiced law in the city for almost two decades, is well-known and has many friends. E. Louis Moore, an attorney, has practiced law in the city, for several years, and has acquired some outstanding cases in a benvolence. Dr. James R. Norrel, a practicing physician, who has practiced in the city for several years. He has been a candidate for several times for elective offices, and is active in fraternal organizations. This is indicative of the tendency to claim active representation in politics, now spreading among the race. Examples of this phase of racial aspiration were seen in the campaign of an attorney named Dawson against Congressman Madden in Chicago and the candidacy of S. Joe Brown for city judge in Des Moines. --- The Cincinnati Bulletin which announces under its title "We get the news from all points of the Compass," devoted an entire page to announcements of church services, under the injunction, "Go to church on Sunday." In a box on the same page appeared the names of some twenty business houses and individuals, under the lines. "This page is sponsored by the following friends." This looks like a getting together of big business and the churches Editorially, the Bulletin does not appear to view the Hoover movement with much favor. In view of the fact that Arkansas is just recovering from the flood disaster, the Arkansas Survey of Little Rock suggested that he usual grand lodge and church convention season be omitted. It said: To have all of the grand-lodge and other meetings usually hill will work a terrible hardship on our folks; the good accomplished will not be commensurate with the cost of holding the meetings; the all-important church conventions will be a very sensible thing to do if as many of these meetings that could possibly do would all off, and if there are important matters to be considered, in it be done by the standing committees which have the authority to at all the abactions of the church conventions as an example of the principal objects of their meetings is to raise money for their schools or colleges; we know of case, where the delegate messenger spends from ten to twenty dollars to come home to report to convention to report some issues are handled not been able to rise their representation fee," when the sensible thing to do would have been to take the money necessary to send the delegate and send it direct to the cause to be aided. Convention have been good than harm, but under the conditions now existin in the state this is a good year to go as many meetings as possible. This sensible suggestion was commended by the pastor of one of the largest churches, who urged its repeated publication until the people should give it more than passing notice. Emphasizing the situation, the Survey noted that "three Negro fraternal organizations were refused license by the Commission of Insurance to continue business in this state, and some of these very organizations had planned to hold the usual grand lodge this summer." Referring to some unfavorable advertisement of the social features hanging around the meeting, of the National Medical Association, Dr. Algeronn B. Jackson wrote in the Washington Eagle as follows: For this the Association should not be blamed, for each year the officials of the organization have urged the local committees to reduce the entertainments and increase the scientific and clinical attractions. Some day, somewhere, a local committee is going to have, and show the courage to do just the thing. On the other hand "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". Your physician works hard to give you the best there is in him, many times at a tremendous personal sacrifice in body cells (health) and the ordinary human comforts. For heaven's sake if he can find the time to get away at least once a year from his labors to attend the postgraduate course the National Medical Association gives to our doctors dentists and pharmacists, don't be grudge him a moment's play. between scientific sessions. Be just, be human. Put yourself in his place. The meetings are always held in August, when the weather is hot and it is more natural to want to rest and play games away to study at the most unfavorable season in the year—because he can leave you at any other time, for he knows you need him most in Fall. Spring and Winter. Now you! A real fellow can stay someone a happier result for all concerned. ```markdown ``` That is a timely plea for the con scientiens physician, whose only time for recreation is when he gets away from home and offices.

St. Martin's Chapel On Sunday, April 22, Rev. John H. Johnson chose as his subject, "Why people go to church." He divided the church going people into three chasses: those who go from a crowd and rub shoulders with others of the same and higher station in life; those who go to worship God; and those who go in search of some clue, or some word which might aid crowd and rub shoulders in problem of life. It is this clashing of the church must minister and give solace and advice according to the lesson of the Great Teacher. At the 4:30 service Rev. A. Clayton, Powell of the Abyssinian Baptist, gave a guest together with his junior choir. Rev. Powell preached an inspiring sermon, and only the inclement weather prevented a packed house. Those who missed, hearing Dr. Powell Sunday, missed a treat, for we have never heard him to better advantage, more scholarly semen than he gave. At 8 p.m. in, the Nevis Benevolent Society衣�worshipped with 'us and Rev. Johnson preached a splendid sermon, stressing the value of charity.

Grace Church of Harlem Last Sunday at Grace Church one was reminded of the lean kine of Joseph time in Egypt. The audience seemed a shadow of its former presence about 100 people. Previously it was the organ Samuel. The choir soon appeared and the service was under way. The pastor conducted the morning worship but the sermon, given under the sermon of the Woman's Missionary Society, was by Rev. Harold M. Klingesy of Chicago. His theme was "The Challenge of Africa." He took a broad view of the intrigues at work in Africa and the threats to it. He then led in a warm and modest way of the work of the Angola Mission of which the Rev. H. C. McDowell is head. Mr. McDowell is planning in this West African field a mission of the Tuskegee type. He will be the colored group of the ecclesiastical Churches. The work progressing in a most satisfactory An offering, was taken for the work by the president of the Woman's Missionary Society, Mrs. M. Garner. The evening service refused to be discontinued by the wet weather and the pastor conducted a mass program in which two poems by Mrs. Elizabeth H. Davis and Byron P. Marshall were by their authors, Irene H. Johnson, I. D. Calvin and Calvin Lane were the others, speakers. Moun: Olivet Baptist Church Regardless of the fact that Sunday, April 22, was a dreary and rainy day, there was a large attendance at the morning service at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. The pastor, Mary Baptist Church, chose his text from the 3rd chapter of 7th verse: "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ," Subject, 'Life's Balance Sheet.' He explained how Paul was blessed with good birth, ability, zeal, education, culture and his favors. These were counted as gain; but after his experience with Christ on the Damascus Road, he turned his back on career, family, wealth, promotion, hops and esteem of fellowmen. Thus he counted his personal gains losses in favor of Christ. He was a follower of Christ, before the audience, of the great sacrifice Paul made to become a true follower of Christ and of his earnest desire to even die the same death of the cross. He then compared this with the people of the 20th Century, who were a sacrifice of flavor of the life of the earth. It vital lesson and was touching in its appeal and pathos. The two Bible classes met at 1:30. The theme of the lesson of the Philathea was prejudice among races, classes and religions. The topic was led by Clarence Griggs, who noted as substitute for Rev. Hayes, teacher. At 3 o'clock, Ivy Hayes, the junior choir, the women ushers and many of the members went to Rush Memorial Church. This was the first public appearance of the junior choir and they made a commendable contribution to the wonderful sinuus. There were 35 who braved the weather to accompany their pastor. They are under the direction of Miss Jessie Covington. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Willis, who have taken special interest in the people, and are known as their big brother and sister, accompanied them. At the B. Y. P. U. hour, C. B. Jenkins "announced that on account of the weather, he and Congressman Guyer—who was to speak, made an agreement over the phone, to postpone his appearance until a later date, when he will be announced later, but give a short talk, chug his subject from Isaiah 40th chapter and 20th verse, "Lift up your eyes on high and behold, who hath created these things, that bringeth out their names by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth." He preached on getting away from man-made things, into space and silence to feel the nearness of God. Miss Harding held the audience speeckound when she sang "I've Done My Work" following the sermon. The choir, under direction of Prof. Dyer, rendered excellent music throughout the day. Five persons joined the church Five persons collection for the day was $99.20 Union Baptist Church Monday evening, Mine.

The choir, under direction of Prof. Alger, rendered excellent service. Dr. J. Bodie pastor, Christ New York Rochelle delivered an excellent sermon from the subject, "The Unknown Man."

At the close of this service the funeral service of Sister Annie Calbert was held Rev. Moore spoke to the students "Jesus and Our Future Hope." 3 p. m. the Missionary Circle held its monthly meeting. Due to the illness, of the president, Mrs. Rebecca Brice, Mrs. Roane was in charge. The B. Y. P. U. had an interesting session. More delivered the closing message, for the day. Subject: "The Master's Inquiry as to the Aims of Men." He stressed the necessity of setting high aims for ourselves. He pointed out the folly of going through life with no objective. Doctor Sijs served at the memorial service of Rev. John Jager at the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Richmond, Va. Taking into consideration the steady downpour of rain, our 'services' were well attended. With the special education master, the officers,术withstanding the weather, the offering amounted to $598.39. St. Mark's M. E. Church At ten o'clock the Junior Church had its regular services, with the assistant pastor used for the subject, Bohde used for his subject, "Seeking the Best."

Refuge Church of Christ Regular services were good with splendid congregations last Sunday, ir spite of the inclement weather, for whom the congregation, lawson, filled the pulpit at both services. At the morning hour he preached from Romans 13:16, "That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel to the Gentiles, offering thanks to the Gentiles might be accepted, be sanctified by the Holy Ghost." In his introduction he gave a description and explanation of the gospel of God as mentioned in I Corinthians 15:1-5, Romans 5th and 6th verses, Romans 11:1-11, God’s gospel of men, ritualism, works, deceit, but the gospel of God which is Christ and Him crucified, by which we are saved according to the faith of God’s elect, Judge 3, Acts 2:88. The offering of the Gentiles had been offered of their children in sacrifice, offering of their children in sacrifice, burning before their idol gods, and giving of their virgin daughters to the temple for a supposed life of celibacy. These and many other things they did, thinking that they were worshiping the true God; but their worship was not -required. The Jews and their useless sacrifices: they, too, were rejected because of their obedience to God. They were sincere and honest alright, that cannot be denied, but it was not all that they required, because of their acceptance of God. Zeal availablenothing when not according to God’s word. His only hope and deliverance lies in the *Gross* of Calvary, the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is by His blood He sanctified once for all they that come unto Him by faith. Cofferdale is offered to Him, and Cofferdale is this? *Fear ourselves, Romans et. Thirsty, prayer, Jude 20:21*. Jst Peter 2:7-10. Fourthly, Praise. All that we are or have are so contained with sin that only as we allow the Holy Ghost to sanctify them are they acceptable to God. The secret of acceptable service is to let God work in them. both to will and to give from our good labor. From our good labor as God did from His. For, *it is not by night, or by power of man, but by his Spirit, saith the Lord.* The only acceptable service is in the Spirit, St. John 4:24. Ephesians 2:18. Nazarene Cong. Church The Rev.

Bridge:St. A M. E. Church "The question is, Have I overcome the world, or has the world overcome me?" We must remember that God never intended for humanity to be master worldly things, and overcome by faith, for as faith triumphs over material things, how much more should it triumph over the things spiritual." These thoughts were the dominant notes sounded by the sermon of the morning, at the morning hour, when he spoke to a congregation of nearly 1,000 people that came out despite the heavy rain. His text was First Epistle of John 5:4. The topic was The Victory that Overcomes the World. Dr. Tyler stressed the point that the Christian must have complete faith, and through that faith they will be able to conquer the world. He closed with the plea that God is concerned as to the place we occupy in the world and our spiritual development.

His sermon was well prepared and excellently deliv- T HE material contrast between the structures with which (Booker T. Washington) began and the present great, ample and commodious plant is sufficiently striking to be much for one man to bring about. But satisfactory and encouraging as this is, it is but an imperfect measure of Dr Washington's work and achievement. The education and annual turning out of two or three hundred young men and women for lives useful to themselves and their families is of course a most commendable and helpful work, but that one part of what he did and sought to do. His purpose was to radiate from a center like Tuskegee the light of the homely but ever living truths which must form the basis of real advance for his race, or for any race—WII+IAM HOWARD TAFT, ered! The evening service was equally successful.

In the Realm of Sport and the Theatre White Writer Says Title Was Bought at Havana and This Will Always Be a Blot On Nordic The knockout defeat of Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion at the hands of an unknown Negro boxer, brought forth numerous articles by sports writers recalling the colorful career of this once great fighter. WJ O. McGeehan, in the New York Herald-Tribune, had the following comment to make: DOWN THE LINE The Case of Jack Johnson the Emperor Jones of Fistiana, an obscure Negro prizefighter, he never was particularly certain that letters never were. Joe Gans admired Jack Johnson took his pen in this tale he solemnly declared, that Jess Willard and sold the heath caredideration and the promise that an act, which had made him a be quashed, soon tells in this regard is fairly substantial evidence to point that Jack held the truth. It is something of modified murder, but it is also be heavyweight champion of the Nordics and need be brought back to the white man in the dynasty of heavyweight always will be somewhat smug, Havana. But, then, as the boys heavyweight championship, the pro civilization, should be held in sacrilegious that the mantle to cross the shoulders of a black Gane done about it, and something Johnson fight was arranged by a scope of making even expenses in regaining the heavyweight chap with these ideas leave nothing's story, they took no chances in that Willard got nothing in our championship from Johnson.

It shows that Johnson the last second, could have risen did to Jeffries at Reno, the cash, but it was evident that never did, expect to do anything Johnson dismissed. He wandered until, finally, the returned and ended him. Self for Jack Johnson. By his own same time one must not forgetizing, with the white parasites to do with the creation of Jack Johnson, the Emperor, Jones of Fistiana, at the age of fifty, is knocked out by an.obscure.Negro prizefighter, Lil' Arthur may be a bit older. He never was particularly certain as to the date of his birth. Negro fighters never were. Joe Gans admitted that he had to guess as to his age. Some time ago Jack Johnson took his pen in hand to write the story of his life. In this tale he solemnly declared that he deliberately quit in the fight with Jess Willard and sold the heavyweight championship for a cash consideration and the promise that the indictment for violation of the Mann act, which had made him a fugitive from American justice, would be quashed. The tale Johnson tells in this regard is fairly convincing. There is plenty of circumstantial evidence to point that Johnson, for at least once in his life, told the truth. It is something of an arraignment against the manly art of modified murder, but it is my notion that Jack Johnson might still be heavyweight champion of the world if it had not been the conviction of the Nordics and near-Nordics, that the "championship should be brought back to the white race" by fair means or foul. The succession in the dynasty of heavyweight champions from Sullivan to Tunney always will be somewhat smudged by that Willard-Johnson bout in Havana. But, then, as the boys figure, it was not seemly that the heavyweight championship, the proudest diadem in the crown of a Caucasian civilization, should be held by a Senegambian. Also, it seemed even sacrilegious that the mantle of John L. Sullivan should be draped across the shoulders of a black Galveston roustabout. Something had to be done about it, and something was done. The Willard-Johnson fight was arranged by a group of business men not with the hope of making even expenses in late receipts, but with the idea of regaining the heavyweight championship and exploiting it. Men with these ideas leave nothing to chance, and, according to Johnson's story, they took no chances of Willard failing to win the title. It is well known that Willard got nothing in cash for his winning of the heavyweight championship from Johnson. When he came to the United States he found himself not a human being, but a syndicate in which he held a minority interest. Eventually he bought out the other shareholders in Jess Willard Preferred. There is one picture of the bout in Havana which always will stand as proof of Johnson's statement that he performed that action which is known as "taking a dive". This photograph shows Johnson lying on his back, but with his arms held over his eyes to shield them from the glare of the Cuban sun. Every line in that prone Negro giant seems to indicate that even then he was suspicious and ready to forestall the double-cross. It seems that he could not close his eyes, even when he was simulating the act of being knocked out. He had to keep watching the business men who arranged the affair to the last minute. If ever a picture was eloquent this one is. It shows that Johnson, if he had become suspicious even in the last second, could have risen and started to do to Willard what he did to Jeffries at Reno. Johnson got the cash, but it was evident that the promoters could not, and probably never did, expect to do anything toward having the charges against Johnson dismissed. He wandered over the world, just a homesick Negro, until, finally, he returned and served the prison sentence that awaited him. This is no brief for Jack Johnson. By his own admission he is a faker. And the same time one must not forget that the putrid environment of the prizering, with the white parasites and the sure-thing gamblers, had much to do with the creation of this Emperor Jones of Fistiana. The "Emperor Jones" Returns called from the United States Joint force for Negro prizefighters.

The feeling there that it was a reproach to the Nordics and the near-Nordics to have the heavyweight championship held by a Negro did not exist. Johnson might have ended his days there in ease and opulence if it had not been for the World War. He had announced that he would become a citizen of France, but this held some strings, due to the war. The French lost interest in the prizering and began to ask Johnson when he was thinking of entering the war. They hinted that it was an open war and that anybody could get in. Also they made it clear that, as Johnson's profession was fighting, it was almost time he started. They added that if he was shy a gun and uniform the French government would be devastated with delight to furnish him the same fighting togs and weapons issued to any other citizen of France. France, they said, would not draw any color line in the war. Being possessed of the average prizefighter's distaste for machine guns and ordinance of any sort, Jack Johnson decided to remain as neutral as possible under the circumstance. He took a boat for Spain After giving the war due consideration, the prizefighter reached the conclusion that while he could duck a right or a left, he might not be able to duck a bullet. In Spain he toop up bulllighting, but apparently could not make it pay. Always he felt the longing to return to the United States. Finally, he made his way to Mexico, and when that country became uncomfortable because of revolutions involving the same non-duckable bullets, he crossed the border and gave himself up. The Emperor Jones of Fustiana, overcome by sheer homesickness, abdicated at last Johnson and Ketchal vividly one of Johnson's fights capped with Stanley Ketchel, the a fighter as Ketchel was this was one-sided than the Battle of B who might have knocked out Carp the killing at the pleading of Trow. grinning good naturedly and hiat Johnson was not going to or may not have been in the ap who could punch with the best jaw. If the blow had landed I recall very vividly one of Johnson's fights when he was at his best. He was matched with Stanley Ketchel, the middleweight, in San Francisco. Great a fighter as Ketchel was this was an unequal match. It was even more onesided than the Battle of Boyle's Thirty Acres, where Dempsey, who might have knocked out Carpentier as soon as the bell rang, withheld the killing at the pleading of Tex Rickard, to give the customers a show. Johnson was grinning good naturedly, and holding Ketchel safe. It was apparent that Johnson was not going to hurt the smaller gladiator. It may or may not have been in the agreement. But Ketchel, who could punch with the best of them, shifted and let go at Johnson's jaw. If the blow had landed where it was aimed Benefit In Washington At the Howard Theatre, Washington, D.

Miss Joyce's sympathetic portrayal is declared by director Brenon 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 picture 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 Joyon 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.

DETT IN NANNIE BURROUGHS' SCHOOL BENEFIT Washington, D. C.—All of Washington was surprised and thrilled when President Coolidge attended the concert given at the First Congregational Church, April 12 at 8 o'clock, for the benefit of the Trades The humblest citizen of the land paid his admission fee, came in, and sat as near the President as the law allowed or as his ticket permitted, him. The music critics of the Evening Star of April 18, had this to say about the great concert: "The audience packed the auditorium and almost as many people were turned away from the door, so eager was the public to hear this remarkable choral organization in its first public concert in the National Capital. "As a director Dr. Dett is thoroughly adequate, without mannerisms, with dignity and authority. The first performance by the choir in Washington was, given in the Library of Congress chamber music hall December 17, 1926. Since that time the choir has won high praise in New York and elsewhere. The concert last night was given for the benefit of the Trades Hall Fund of the National Training School for Women and Girls, in Washington. "As on previous occasion the choir showed admirable training. They sang with clear diction, clean-cut attack, well-drilled harmonization, and accuracy of tone. The quality of the voices was uniformly beautiful. Frequently organ-like effects were achieved. The singers seem to have learned the real art of singing. Perhaps the most striking number of the evening was the Russian (translated), 'Lord, Our God Have Mercy,' by Lvosky, graded in tonal color from fortissimo to taintest pianissimo and back again, with legato, style, and religious beauty. "The audience demanded its repetition." "The Hampton Institute Choir sings only the finest music and always 'capella'. The opening group was made up of sacred songs by Arcadet, Campion and Laurenti of the sixteenth century, and a particularly beautiful "Now Christ is risen", traditional, Circa, 1500. "A group of Russian liturgical anthems followed with beautiful translations and interpretations. Lily Strickland and T. Tertius Noble, two American composers, were represented by religious works, and then came two Negro Spirituals, Harry T. Burleigh's 'Deep River' and Nathaniel Dett's 'As Children, Walk Ye in God's Love'. Both were song by the male chorus with incidental solos by good voices. The last group was composed of motets and anthems by the director, listed as written in the Negro idiom. They were much applauded, especially 'Listen to the Lambs.' The concert was the best ever given by colored people in the City of Washington. Miss Burroughs is to be congratulated upon having scored three great victories in one tremendous effort: 1. The bringing of the great choir to Washington. 2. Securing the First Lady of the Land, Mrs. Coolidge, as a patroness, with other distinguished Americans of both races, and 3. Getting the President of the United States to attend the concert. The Trades Hall is now in course of erection; it is hoped that the friends of the institution will rally to the appeal for funds and help complete the much-needed building. ANDREW F. ROSEMOND SENDS REVIEW OF PARIS PREMIERE OF "TURANDOT", THE POSTHUMOUS OPERA LEFT BY PUCCINI Andrew Fletcherc Rosemond, distinguished violinist and teacher, formerly head of the violin department of the Martin-Smith Music School, Inc., as successor to the late Eugene Mars Martin, who was in the United States this winter for a few weeks stay, returning to Paris for further study, sends The. New York Age a review of the Paris premiere of Puccini's posthumous opera, "Turandot", sung at the Paris Opera House on April 2. Mr. Rosemond, since his latest return to Paris, has been studying and preparing a series of recital courses. He writes that he is taking all the Beethoven Cycles from a critical standpoint, a most excellent and interesting work. He tells of having had the rare experience of hearing the great Beethoven Ninth Symphony five times since reaching Paris, an opportunity not available in New York, hearing it twice on Palm Sunday—at afternoon by the Poulet Symphony at the new Salte Pleyel, and at night at the 'Trocadéro by the Lamoreux Symphony. He is to be envised. The "Turandot" review is given herewith. on Monday, April 2, Puccini's unfinished opera, 'Turandot,' was presented for the first time in France before an audience that taxed the capacity of the world famous Paris Opera House. Much advance publicity had been given to this work. It was necessary for us to come tickets many days in advance. This posthumous work is a lyric drama in three acts and five librettos. The last duet and the final scene were finished by Franco Miano, after the untimely death of Puccini at Brussels in 1924. Although his illness prevented the completion of this opera, he left a sketch and data which enabled Alfano to finish the work with some knowledge of the composer's wishes. The libretto was written by Gussopp Adami and Renato Simoni, after the story of Carlo Gozzoli. The story is a simple one. The scenes are laid in Pekin, China. As the curtain rises, the Persian prince is about to be put to death. He is in love with the Princess Turandot, daughter of the ruling emperor. He answers all questions put to suitors of the princess, and with the valuable help of a slave girl, who is secretly in love with him. Gussopp herself rather than give information as to the identity of the unter), he finally wins Turandot. The scenes and costumes are gorgeous. The second act is especially beautiful and fascinating. This is the scene where the prince questioned before the emperor and his entire court. The decorations and settings were realistic. We have spent a considerable time in Pekin and know the wonders of that city. We notice that we could imagine ourselves walking up the carved stone approach to the Altar of Heaven, or the Hall of Classics. The walls in the opening scene are good imitations of the walls of the Forbidden House of the Chinese Emperors before the days of republicism). The music is dignified, admirable and refreshing. Some of the roles in the first act remind one a little of 'Butterfly'. The second role is genuine 'Chinese' music, interspersed with lifting passages. The orchestral score is filled with color and expectation. The arrangers were good and the chorus was exceptional. One wonders at the task --- only was the Chef Executive in attendance, but Women and Girls, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president. It was the first time that a Chief Executive of the nation had ever attended a concert given here, at the National Capital, by colored people. The President sat in the midst of the great throng and applauded, with the rest of his fellow counsellors, the perfectly executed program by the Hampton Choir, under the direction of Dr. R. Nathaniel Dett. The audition was certainly the most democratic that has ever attended any concert. Not the First, Lady of the Land, nor anyone. By ANDREW F. ROSEMOND of training such a group. The orchestra was under the direction of Phillippe Gaubert. 'We think that in a few years this work will be equally as popular as his favorite trio, "La Bohéne," "La Tosca" and "Madame Butterfly." as his favorite trio, La Ballete. La Posa and Sanchez Biernacky "Turandot was first performed at the Scala-in-Alhambar, under the direction of Toscanini, in April 1926. It has since been presented in most of the European capitals and in New York. We doubt if any of the performances have been superior to this one (the leading singers excepted), and are of the opinion that few have equalled it." Lyndon Hoffman Caldwell Mus.

E.-Church, the Rev. Fred A. Church, pastor, on Sunday afternoon, April 22, promoted by Professor J. Leonard as a tribute to Professor Arthur R. Reagan, director-organist of the Salem Church choir, and for a number of years one of the city's most active music instructors and composer, Mr. Grant has been in bad health for several years, and has recently caused a long siege of illness which incapacitated him for active service. In appreciation of his services the choirs of eight Härlem churches responded favorably to 'Mr Jackson's call and enlisted themselves to serve in making this albeit small effort financially. This represents a devotion 'hitherto unknown, so far as the records show. ' The church choirs so enrolled were St. Mark's and Salem, M. E., Rush Memorial and Mother A. M. E, Zio, Enanus and Bethel A. M. E, and Mt. Jalil and Bishop Churches, with their directors and organists and soloists. Despite the heavy downpour, which started Saturday night and seated to increase in intensity just at the hour set for the concert, an audience, of probably a thousand assembled for this notable occasion. And of the eight choirs proclaimed by the choir, all fully force with the exception of Rush-Memorial, Noble Ross, director. And this was through no fault of the choir officials, according to a statement made to the writer by Mary C. Brundage, president of the choir, who said that some half-dozen of the leading singers of the choir had been unexpectedly presented, at the last minute and after ample preparation had been made, from being able to serve, some through illness and others through being called out of town on various unavailable missions. But the church organist, Leonard Matthews, was present and presided at the great organ during the singing of the Power of Jesus' Name, which ushered in the various choir groups at beginning of the program. After invocation by the pastor, Dr. Cullen, the choir from St. Mark's with E. Aldauna Jackson, director at the piano, sang Rih- gis freres james Harding, and sopiano solost with the Mt. Olivet choir in absence of Miss Olivey Hopkins, with sopiano didd effect, 1 and she was followed by R. W.

And then Miss Doris Trontman who has been called "The Girl with a Golden Voice," charmed in a rendition of Cocktail, if any man hey My Voice, Mr. Jacqueline at piano. One of the fine renditions of the afternoon was the singing of "Rise up, arise ye!" from the Meudel-sohn oratorio, "St. Paul," by the Emmanuel choir, with: Herbert A Allen directing, Miss Helen Howell conducting, the choir was followed by an aria "Consume them all!" from the same oratorio by James DeWitt Spencer; baritone of Emanuel, Miss Dowdy at piano. And then a group from the Mother Zion choir sang, a capella, the motet, "God so loved the world," from Sir John Stainer's oratorio, "Crucifixion." Dullen then spoke briefly, extolling the testimonial, declaring it to be a rare and unusual evidence of the spirit animating musicians of today, and suggesting that similar tributes should be paid deserving artists before they are brought to a condition of incapacity. He spoke of the value of music and of its work in the past to pay tribute, and will be available for "those Christians who are not thrilled by those music." The choir from Bethel sang next, using Berthold Tours' Easter anthem. God hath appointed a day, when he will be at the organ. This was followed by the rendition of the aria, "Heat ye, Israel." from Mendelssohn's Elijah, by Miss Minnie Brown, so she sang with delightful artist, Mr. Jackson was at the piano, "Remember now thy Creator," by Buck, was sung by James Brown, bassist Mrs. Anng Whitfield the The Mt.

You may remember that it last week's article in this column we wondered whether any significance attached to the absence of Director Joe Jordan from the "Keep Shufflin" orchestra at the 25th annual celebration tendered Miller & Lyley it. "I thought it was important." It how appears that there was plenty of significance; as Joe had not been conducting the orchestra at the theatre for a few days before. It is alleged that somebody told Joe he could stay in the dressing room and play pinchole and the orchestra would worry along without him. Joe did it as advised, but someone else, just Joe, wanted to get his salary, but there was no envelope for him. So near day, Joe hid himself to the office of the Federation for consolation and counsel. So far, it is asserted, Joc has received plenty of counsel but has received no cash. He holds a union contract and apparently is bound to work for the company. Some musicians think that Mr. Jordan might be entitled to salary as conductor of the life of the show. This, of course, would be contingent on the contract signed by the interested parties. Jimmy "suffin!" now has no standing director. Jimmy Johnson is at the piano. Opposition seems bitter concerning the projected plan of Hall & Dahney to open a club house with "Local 82" in the building, though they have issued a statement denying their object is a "colored local, some musicians have posted in existing club houses a document asking for signature against the idea—presumably for presentation to Local 802. So although it may be possible for him to sit in the house there is no telling what unseen shoes they may encounter before launching their projected ship. Just a word of information to colored radio orchestra performers. Recently a very large group of leaders and players were summoned to the Union to answer charges for broadcasting without pay—whilst is the Leader broadcast with the idea, or promise, of booking work, and this is not in accordance with Hoyle.

Minton left the building, but was recalled by Mr. Kane, who placed with Minton that Saturday and Sunday were the two best days of the week. He said he was ruined if he had no orchestra to hold his patrons, and it would be practically impossible to find an orchestra at that hour (10 p. m.) of the night, and further promised he would have an all union band Monday night. Sergeant-at-Arms Minton requested that statement in writing, which the proprietor executed and signed, saying he did not know there was anything wrong. Minton then gave his mission to play Saturday and Sunday. Birge Robinson's excuse was he could not get no union men. Yet he had made no call on the sergeant-at-arms, who could have supplied him with the names of union trumpeters, Oscar Hammerstein, no relation to the impresario and opera house builder, who is connected with the Lenox Avenue Club, we understand, is making negotiations with Deacon Johnson to have a "Deacon Johnson Night" at the club house, featuring an orchestra, songs, Spirituals, etc...

In the revue, girls from these branches represented in Spain West Indies, Greece, France, Mexico, Latvia, China, Armenia and Africa. All of the scenes were well done, with special bits of entertaining by each group. The West Side girls gave several individual dancing acts, as did the Bronx girls*. But the most spectacular was the specialty by the harlem girls, who, demonstrating in their dress, the making of a bridal toulouse, took a stage of the forelday's temporary absence from the work shop to doff their smocks and don the bridesmaids' dresses, after which they gave a fancy dance exhibition which they had been coached by Miss Georgia Washington. Miss Flossie Carter was the pianist. Again, in the final scene, "Presentation of the Wedding Gifts," when the bride, in all her finery, sat upon her throne, surrounded by her attendants, received delegations from each country represented, who bore to her tributes representing some production of their native land, the Harlem girls were the most striking feature.

Baskerville, her baskets woven, of native grass. 1470 It remained for the African gift-bearers, as the final gift-bearer group, to bring the evening a moment to a thrilling choreography. The girls and the girls were in costumes resenting various of the African groups. First entering from the rear of the auditorium, in a large glare, came two girls, clad in black, with their toes placed, right and, left from the stage, as heralds, of the gift-bearer group. Then the girls, with cases of jewels, entered one by one staggering up the side under the last by one bearing a small tray piled high with glittering silver and gold ornaments, and with scissors ullating jewels and beads. Their pathway was illuminated by the brilliant spot light, and after they had reached the stage, and after the bride, the bride light was centered there, and the striking was the scene that the audience broke out into wild applause and the curtains had to be opened again before the onlookers were as ished. o The girls in this group were Martha, Vera Johnson, Beatrice Harris, Eunice Balden, Iva Caines, Ethet Efainleweroy,丝巴 Talbot, Iva Boschler and Guddy Armstrong. The stage settings and costumes used in the "Garmens Shop" scene were made at the 17th branch, under supervision of Mrs. Willie Voorhees, with the cooperation of a number of the workers and friends of the branch. After the revue, the floor is cleared and the folks enjoyed dancing for a couple of hours. Many of the young men friends of the children branch were present, and were friendly.

J.—The new church year of the Thirteenth Avenue Presbyterian church has opened with unprecedented encouragement. Running through the pre-Easter evangelistic period, which began with February and March culminating with Palm and Easter services, the church experienced a record breaking season of both spiritual and temporal uplift and encouragement. The Easter services were in many respects the most outstanding of the kind ever witnessed in our church. Our large auditorium, was found to be inadequate for accommodating the congregations on that occasion. The crowd overflowed the main auditorium and filled the Sunday school room. Dr. Ellerson, pastor, preached the sermon for the occasion from the subject: "Assurances from the Empty Tomb." The music by the excellent choir of our church was thoroughly in keeping with the spirit of the day, with Fred Moss as chorister, Bernerdene Mason, contralto, as special soloist, and Cora Wynn Alexander a organist, together with a large number of excellent voices; the choir of this church is sustaining its usual reputation for setting the standard of high class, artistic music for church services in the city of Newark. The pastor has inaugurated the annual spring rally. The effort is characterized as "The War of the Roses" a contest between the men and the women of the church. The men represent the white roses while the women represent the pink roses. The entire congregation has been divided into groups, of ten with a group leader for each group. The financial effort is to continue through the month of June. Dr. Ellerson will preach the annual Thanksgiving sermon for the Knights Of Pythias and the Courts of Calanthe, Sunday afternoon, April 29, at 3 o'clock. Sunday, May 6, will be the nest regular communion day. The session of the church extended the right hand of fellowship, welcoming more than sixty persons to the communion of the church as new members as a result EAST INDIA HAIR GROWER MMES.D.LYONS IF YOUR HAIR IS DRY AND WIRY THE EASY INDIA HAIR GROWER IF YOU ARE BOTHERED with FALLING Hair, Dandruff, Itching Scalp, or any Hair Trouble, we know you can help.

At Philip Randolph, ‘Organizer. of the Brotherhood ‘of Sleeping . car Porters, and the Pittsburgh Courier, until recently, an ardent sup- " Forter of the Hrotherhood's orgduizer,. have come to the pasting Of the Yayt. What lies at the Bottom’ of the break: between the organiter and his onttime ally is not quite clear at the present time, if the:word of either is to be taken at feéé"value, The, Couriet avers, that it is because of ils interest in the wefare of the Pullman porters and maids. Mr, Randolph declares that ‘The Courier has bedome the proverbial colored gentleman in the Pullman woodpile,’and that the Brotherhood intends to smoke him out before.the fight is over. ‘There! the’ matter remains, As 40 the seat eause'of ‘the split, the only definite thing about it ss that it has occurred. “> 4, ie : ‘the break was brought to the attention of the public by The Cour- er in an dpen letter to the Pullman portets and maids in ita issue of April LI, ‘The intent of the letteryas we: analyzed it, was to warn ihe porters avid maids that they ned ot expect any improvemeat or " progress in their industrial relations with the Pullman Company, such 4s better wages and better working conditions, as loag as Mr. Randolph Hie active in trying: to secure these things for them. The letter gave deinite reasons why The Courier had sounded this warning. Whether fr not there is a motive;‘other thaa that advanced by The Couriet Yor iis change of attitude towards the Brotherhood’s leader, doesn't alter the fact tit the letter touched: the erux of the porters sitiation. tut while admitting that the communication is message which ~ the porters ond-maids cannot well afford to ignore, yet we cannot be- come exactly exthused over it-The reasons for this lack of efthp- siasm are several.” SOine is that The Courier is giving theve employces + beiatéd warning. “It is bringiag to their attention things that should haye been brought to them two years ago, The, other is, the letter deals in sophism and pretense’whea it intimates that there must be some sirange reason why the Pullman Company will not negotiate with Mr. Randolph, and why the Pullman Company ignored letters coming from the heads of such organizations as the N. A. A. C. P., and the Urban League in behalf of the porters: ‘There is nothing strange ‘about that and The Courier knows it. . ‘Yo anyone who. bas followed the activities, the porters’ union inevement and those who have interested themselves in this movement, the attitude of the-Pulltpan Company towards these persons should notcbe at all exigmatic, should not be in any manner puzzling. And while we hold no brief. for Mé, Randolph, in justice to him we do mot think that either he or his polities shtnild be held responsible for the Millman Company's ignoring officials of both the Urban League and the NALA. CP eens Both Of, these organizations know the history of the Brotherkood's organizer, and both know of his political activities as‘a” Socialist. “Both knew of the antipathy of capitalism towards socialism, yet both of these organizations precipitated themselves, t6 a certain exteat, any- way, into the fight to unionize the porters-led by Randolph, the Social ist, and in this they were'augmented by The Courier. Now THe Cour- ier makes the late discovery that American’ capital ‘will not negotiate with Socialists or°aayone connected with them. That seems tardy knowledge for a newspaper of The Courier’s reputation to dispense. _ Why didn’t The Couriée tell the. porters the truth of the matter two years ago, the same as it does now? Although, we fancy, it would have done little good then,—so far as the porters were concerned, whether Mr. “Randolph was a Socialist, radical, red or blue. He promised to get them more wages, better working conditions, and give then an organization of their own choosing. ‘The politica! connec- tions of the man were of no momént ‘if those things could be gotten. Still, hag The Courier sees its duty as it sees that duty now, it could have assumed fs present role without.any doubt as. to its sincerity, And there isn't any reason’ {6 Sispect’ that the porter followers of Mr. Randolph will fail to “question the new attitude of the newspaper.

The Pullman Company repudiated trade unionism among its employees years ago, labor his- tory will-show, and any roup of its employees, as large as‘the.porters group, which thinks that it can reintroduce it to this corporation will havé another thought coming whenever that is tried. - Atithe -closing of the porters convention in Chicago tWo' years ag, at hich time the porters werd awarled an increase of 8 per cent an wages, the president of the Pullman Company, so one of the mem- bess to that gallicring told the writer, told- the members of the con- vention tHat the company wouldéalways be willing to hear the-com: Dhaidts and: grievances of its potters, when presented in a sane and sober manaer by the porters; but that the company would never enter: tain soch Gozteations on Behalf of. them from outsiders. ‘That seems still to be the.attitude of the company and that is not unlikely the grounds apén which The Courier bases.it assertion that i Mr. Raadolph steps down the Company will treat with. its porters, ‘They may: be other grounds, of course, of whichi The Courier knows.

Judah, 51 West 129th street, takes this means of extending sincere and heartfelt thanks to the many friends of her late husband, John W. Judah, for the many evidences of their sympathetic escem as evidenced during the long months of Mr. Judah's last illness. Like a ship that's left its moorings And sails bravely out to sea, So someone dear has sailed away In calm serenity. But there's promise of a greater joy Than earth could have in store. For God has planned a richer life Beyond the unseen shore. NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING K. of P.
