OSCAR DEPRIEST SENT TO CONGRESS BY MAYOR. A REAL HOME PAPER! Opens Into More Horse Digest Than Any Other Paper Published The New York Age YOUR ADVERTISEMENT Reaches The Best Class of People and Brings Best Results. VOL. 41. No. 34 NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1928 5 CENTS IN U.S.A. By RIENZI B. LEMUS Washington, D. C.—The return of a Negro to Congress is imminent. He probably will come from the First Illinois District. He will succeed, as congressman, the late Martin B. Madden of Chicago who, at his death, had attained by virtue of seniority to the most important post next to the Speaker in the House of Representatives namely, the chairmanship of the Committee on Appropriations. But not even the return of a Negro to Congress will wholly compensate the NEGRO for the logs involved in Madden's death. Mr. Madden's successor, whether he be a black man or white man cannot succeed to the "Appropriations" Committee Chairmanship. That post goes to the senior member of the Appropriations Committee. And if the next congressman from the First Illinois happens to be black his assignment is most likely to be in the "Committee on Painful Feet in Yellowstone National Park" or to the equally efficacious burial assignment as member of the "Committee on Inspection of Old Teepees of the Five Grilled Tribes of Indians." HARRY H. PACE IS HEAD OF NATIONAL INSURANCE ASSN. 28 Insurance Companies Represented at Meeting at Little Rock To apprehend the distinction between legislation and appropriation in respect to the same act, it is only necessary to recall the Coolidge veto of the first, bill to increase the pay of postal employees, which veto the President grounded on the failure of Congress to provide and appropriate funds to pay for the increases provided in the act. And, to then connect, just remember that, the Constitution provides for all appropriations to originate the House. This makes Appropriations Committee all important and gives to the chairman tremendous influence in the matter of Congressional appropriations. Madden was chairman. Holding the Purse Strings. So much so, that one can't walk or go on about Washington without observing Madden's handwork, insofar as government, financial assistance to Negroes enmase goes. Begin at Harvard University Studium, where Chairman Madden and Professor Dedication Day—The Day of Dedication—will walk the length of the campus, down the hill to Freedmen's Hospital, around the new Howard Medical Building—and think of Madden. Certainly, only a small fraction of Negroes may attend Howard University; but those, who are be assured of every opportunity because of Federal grants to help them during the regime of Congressman Madden as holder of the government purse strings! Chairman Madden didn't fall to tighten up on the putse strings either. For when the insistent and persistent foe of segregation at the National Cadden, Neval Thomas appealed to Madden, no appropriation was forthcoming. to pay erecting the separate bathing beds for whites and blacks down the Potomac Tidal Basin; and until they day they have not been erected the rest of Congress; and Senator Copeland, of New York notwithstanding. Hence, what Madden's death means to Negroes is not easily discomfeted. A Sudden Death Era. The noted "analyst" of things racial whom this writer always seeks here for his views, says that Madden was all right but his death is involved in the end of an Era, which the "analyst" accounts for the sudden death of so many notables of both races recently, and that, consequently, it is to be hoped that none that Madden's Negro associates will succeed to his vacancy. The most hope that Dr. Dawson, the most successful successor of Madden's Negro institution, will get the place; he should firmly admits that unless Dawson is in the place he wants to his standing in the primacy, according to law, it is hardly expected that "Desper" "Deser" HARRY H. PACE IS HEAD OF NATIONAL INSURANCE ASS'N 28 Insurance Companies Represented at Meeting at Little Rock Columbus, Ohio. Bringing their meeting to a close, after a three day session here, by choosing Little Rock, Ark, as the place of next meeting, the National Negro Insurance Association, composed of twenty-eight Negro insurance companies, finished the most constructive session in its history. The meeting began Wednesday morning, April 25, in the commodious assembly room of the Colored Masonic Temple on East Long street. At the evening public meeting, welcome addresses were made by representative Columbus citizens, with President T. K. Gibson, of the Supreme Life & Casualty Company of this city presiding. The principal address of the evening was made by Edward C. Turner, Attorney General of the State of Ohio, and the association to the association by Harry H. Park president of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company of Newark, N. J. During the afternoon session a paper prepared shortly before his death by James LeCount Chestnut, president of the Domestic Credit Bureau, New York, N. Y. on the subject of "Inspection of Negro Risks" was read by the secretary, W. Ellis Stewart, Chicago. Ill. This was followed by an address by J. A. Jackson, a special agent of the Bureau of Commerce, Washington, D. C. The last day's meeting resolved itself into a round table discussion, following a repartikable address by C. C. Spatulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, Durham, N. C. The election of officers resulted in the unanimous choice of the Association of Harry H. Pace, as president; W. H. Lee, Jacksonville, Fla.; vice-president; W. E. Ellis Stewart, Martin, secretary of the executive mittee. In addition to the president and secretary are T. K. Gibson, C. C. Spatulding, Anthony Overton, John Hoolman and E. H. Carry. Priest, Daniel Jackson, Roscoe Simmons, and others of Mayor Thompson's heighem, whom Dawson challenged when he entered the lists against, Madden, will ever consent to Dawson's name being prefixed with congressman. Besides, it is known here that Roscoe Simmons had dreams of a house when Madden should quit or pass on Oscar DePriest probably wants the congressmanship; so do others of the Thompson machine, which recently took a sound thrashing—maybe. And oldtimers here expect a battle-royal, with as many absurdities rampant as were true of many of the candidates for the presidency of Howard University when it became known that Dr. Negro chief executive of the institution. Washington, D. C.—Representative Martin B. Madden (R., Ill.) dropped dead in his office in the Capitol on Friday, April 27 a few minutes after he had shaken his snow white head on the floor of the House in another argument in which his unrelenting firmness continued to hold away. Refusing to give way to recurring attacks of illness and his seventy-three years, the chairman of the-Ap-proprations Committee had arisen early, testified at a committee hearing in the morning, joked with friends on the way to the floor, argued vehemently in the House on pending legislation, exchanged congratulations, with Rarrow (R.Pa.) eaten luncheon in his office and discussed legislation with colleagues. He left his office, adjacent to the House floor, Madden represented Representative, Sproul (R.I.) and was telling him a story when suddenly he clasped his heart and gasped twice. Sproul caught him as he fell back in his chair. Senate Apjourna Quickly Four doctors were called from the House floor, Sirovich (D., N. Y.) found there was no pulse beat, but a faint heart thunder *ed him to tag artificial respiration for five minutes.* Madden was pronounced dead of a severe pneumonia the arrival of an ambulance. It was just before 2 p.m. She was born in England and came to this city at the age of four. Three times he declined the nomination for Mayor Chicago. In 1897 he retired from the City Council and was defeated for the United States Senate. He was elected to the House in 1903 and quickly became one of the great triumvirate from his State, with Cannon*2 and James R. Mann.* To those who did not know him intimately he presented an air of mystery. Never a voluble talker, he was a good listener and seemed always to have something in reserve. His range and completeness infused him with unparalleled in Congress. He regarded the Government, like his own affairs, a business in which all citizens were stockholders. Madden is survived by his invalid widow and a daughter, Mrs. Paul Henderson, wife of the former Assistant Postmaster General. He was especially devoted to his three grandchildren, who spent most of their time in his home. His biographical account in the Congressional Directory was notable for its brevity, with one or a line and a half telling him city and city and fact that he was elected to "the Fifty-ninth and succeeding Congress." * President Coolidge was among the hundreds of messages of condolence to the home. Washington, D. C.—The following delegation represented the colored citizens of Washington, by invitation, at the funeral services of Congressman Martin; B. Madden, held in the Hall of the House of Representatives, Sunday-April 29, 1928. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, John R. Hawkins, Neval H. Thomas, Attorney W. L. Houston, Judge James A. Cobb, D. Mordecal W. Johnson, Garnet C. Wilkinson, Dean Keller Miller, Perry W. Howard, Jinley Wilson, Arthur G. Froe, A. S. Pinkett, Frank Byron, Charles E. Hall, Bishop E. D. W. Jones, Dr. A. M. Curtis, Karl F.

Attorney Scipio A.Jones Elected Delegate To Republican Convention Little Rock, Ark.—Attorney Seipio A. Jones was elected a delegate, and A. C. Logan, alternate, to the Republican National Convention in Kansas City during the primaries here last week. Mr Jones is one of the outstanding lawyers in this part of the country. Chicago, May 1—Oscar DePriest, of the Second Ward, was selected to-day by Mayor Thompson to succeed the late Martin B. Madden as Republican candidate for Representative in the 1st Congressional District. DePriest's election is considered certain. A special election for Judges in June may carry him into the remainder of Madden's term, and his name will go on the ballot in November for the regular term. The first district is solidly Republican, with an average voter turnout of 60%. DePriest is a lawyer. He has been an ardent Thomaspquis for ten years. As Alderman he has served several terms from the Second Ward. Only a few weeks ago a mass meeting of Negro citizen of the district repudiated and promised him. His name had come up in various political and social scandals. DePriest will be the first Negro to represent a Northern State. Twenty Negroes have served in the House. Two have occupied seats in the Senate. The last Negro member retired from the House twenty-seven years ago. The first entered Congress in 1869. This means of Negro voters have positioned Gov. Small to call a special primary election in the District. The law makes it optional with the Governor to call a special election, and it is assumed he will follow the wishes of Mayor Thompson and let his committee fill the ballot vacancy. An independent Negro may be on against DePriest at the general election. When the Salvation Army opens an institution in Harlem to care for the many homeless colored men who apply to him, for assistance, the institution will be realized. "But in the meantime the ensign is the officer in charge of the army work having its centre at 48 West 135th street, is daily dealing with many problems of the unfortunate which come to him for solution. Never a day passes but hungry, applies for assistance; and all are helped in suitable manger, after careful study of each individual. No person, if really necessitous, applies in vain. That is but one phase of the ensign's duties. Working in conjunction with Major Edith Nice, the Salvation Army relief district thirty-five needy families are now being cared for, besides day to day relief given to worthy applicants. Many Army Activities The ensign, is also laying - his plans for taking 400 mothers and children to an outing during the summer - months. As if all these women keep him occupied, the ensign presides over a thriving Salvation Army Corps, with its many branches of service at 48 West - 135th and 136th religious guilds, nightly and day, Sunny Life - Scouts, Girl Guards, a brass band, a flairishing, Sunday - school, and a Home League for mothers. Some 50 converts, have been made since January. All this service to the communist party is to support Advisory Committee of citizens under the chairmanship of Alderman Fred R. Moore, has been convened to formulate plans for the Maintenance Appeal which is scheduled for May 26th, 2014. The meeting is intended to help our readers, knowing they will not fail to respond in a manner worthy of the best traditions of Harlem. Perry W. Howard Sure Of His Recognition At National Convention Jackson, Miss.-Perry W. Howard, Negro leader of the Republican party in Mississippi, has little fear now of not gaining recognition for his organization when the National Convention is held at Kansas City in June. "At the State Republican Convention here on Wednesday, April 18, delegates and alternates to the National Convention were elected the Republican State Executive Committee for the next four years named and delegates to the national convention instructed to vote for Howard, National Committeeman and Mary C. Booze of Mound Bayou, National Committeewoman to retain their offices for the next administration. Howard was chosen temporary chairman and E. F. Robertson, temporary secretary; when the state convention opened, a later motion to permanent organization making these permanent. C. T. Butler of Meridian was chosen assistant secretary. Jacksonville, Fla.—Announcement is made by Charles H. Anderson, captain of the banking firm of Anderson and Co., which closed its offices in a run which followed the winding of a Christmas Club funds by some of its depositors, that a third dividend is now being paid to depositors whose money was, tied up by the bank's closing. According to Mr. Anderson, this is payment to depositors. The first was 15 JULY, and 10, and this one 14, a total of 35 per cent refunded to depositors. The assets are being liquidated through Ernest Atmos, state comptroller. There have been three other receivers, the United States Bank, Co. George McKillan and John A. Fought Bankruptcy Plea In 1921, notwithstanding that state bank examiners are reported to have found the bank's assets in good shape, seven disgruntled depositors filed a petition in the District Court against the bank in bankruptcy which plea was opposed by Mr. Anderson. The depositors were represented by 'Attorneys I. L. Purcell and the firm of Johnson-Mellwain, while the bank's interested were looked after by Attorneys-Patterson and Louie W. Strum. The bankruptplea was denied, but the assets were ordered turned over to the state' comproller for liquidation through a receivership. The many receivership changes and long-drawn out litigation has delayed settlement of the depositors' assets now, to be going forward in its rightful liquidation. It is estimated that, if the bankruptple, proceedings had been successful' the depositors would have received not more than a ten per cent repayment. This dividend is being paid at the old banking house at 402 Broad street the first refunds being made on April 30. Although he died March 4, 1922, the estate left by Bert Williams, famous comedian, and singer, was not appraised for transfer tax purpose until last week. Then it was shown that its gross value was $34,521, of which $26,566 was in cash. But debts and taxes reduced the net value of the estate: nearly fifty per cent The Federal and State Income Tax Departments collected $8,336, and other debts, including $1,000 due 'Helen, Rowland, publicity manager, totalled $2,997. Another item was $160 due for valuation of the property $18,390, which was left to his widow, Mrs. Charlotte Williams, who lives at $299 Seventh avenue, in the home purchased by Mr. Williams before he died. It was disclosed that the dead acid investment bonds and bonds to the value of $900, many of no value. Since his death, the estate has received $6,762 in royalties from the Columbia Graphophone Machine Co. HARLEM PEOPLE URGED TO HELP MONARCH FUND Of the $1,793 needed to assure the people of Harlem the proposed series of eleven free, open air concerts in St. Nicholas Park by the Monarch 45 Band, Lieut. Fred W. Simpson, director, Alderman Fred R. Moore, treasurer of the fund, reports that to April 30 there is on hand $162. The response, so far, is not encouraging, and it is pointed out, constitutes something of a reflection on the people of Harlem who are lacking in interest in this splendid concert. It has been proposed that the fine Monarch 45 Band, characterized by discriminating judges as one of the finest musical organizations in the country, be made a community band, and that the sum of money appropriated for free summer concerts by the city, sufficiency augmented by popular subscription that something like the band's full strength may be used for the depletion of music lovers, in the community. The fund must be completed at least by June 1. One of the finest evidences of interest, strange to say, has come to a white citizen, Reuben J. Wittles, 360 West 125th street, wrote The New York Age, under date of April 19, as follows: Additional Payments I read in your issue received by me today that a fund is being collected towards gearing a number of Sunday afternoon concerts by the Monarch 45 Band. As a lover of music, may I have the privilege of contributing a small sum to筹措 such a wonderful and worthy fund and worthy closing my check for $10 to your order, which I will kindly ask you to turn over to the proper recipient thereof. The Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abysmian Baptist Church, one of Harleigh's largest and most influential religious bodies, spoke briefly at the third Sunday afternoon concert at P. S. 136 on April 11 later made a contribution of $2 to the fund. Additional contributions, made since the last published report, are as follows: $2—Mr. and Mrs. H. Johnson, 68 Lsalle street; Mrs. Halle Bulleck 236 West 18th street. Oscar Brewster, 236 West 135th street. $1—Ebnerbee Ray, 230 West 131st street; D. Walter N. Beckman, marry; M. R. Irie 2251 Seventh avenue; Thomas L. Brundge, 656 St. Nicholas avenue; Mrs. Carrie McCray, 236 West 138th street; N. R. Baptiste, 218 West 148th street; Joseph S. Fisher, 60 West 140th street. Additional payments made last Sunday will be reported next week. COMMISSIONED RANK FOR BAND MASTERS IN ARMY Bill Passed Senate And House Committee Re- Ports Favorably Washington, D. C.—A bill providing that all bandmasters in the regular army and National Guard service shall be commissioned officers has been passed by the United States Senate, and, as House Resolution 281, has been reported favorably by the sub-combination on military affairs of the House of Representation. Under the provisions of this bill, the number of colored commissioned officers in the army service will be considerably increased. At present, the race representation in the commissioned grade includes only three chaplains and two line officers. With the doors of West Point Military Academy practically closed to the telegraph, the securing of additional commissioned officers at the present time is vested in the ultimate passage of this bill. There are at least six Negro bandmasters in the army and National Guard, and while this bill is not introduced for their particular benefit, the fact, remains, that they will be included in the increased ratings which will come to the other bandmasters. Colored citizens are being urged to write at once to the conessman from their district, demanding support, for the sending bill. 16th Precinct Police Captain Is Charged With Race Prejudice When Negro Policemen Are Put 'In Back' Are Separated From Fellow White Officers In Reception To German-Irish Trans-Atlantic Fliers and Relegated To Madison Avenue Out Of Sight Of Hero Guests When several thousand members of the Police Department joined in the parade to welcome Koehl, Fitzmaurice and Von Huenefeld on Monday last, the Negro members of the Department were not represented, nor were they with the other Harlem police on Fifth avenue keeping the crowd back, although some of them have been on duty at all other big celebrations of this kind in the past few years. NEGRO ICEMEN IN UNION TO FIGHT BAN BY ITALIANS Latter Demand Wholesale Ice Co. To Stop Serving Colored Hunters The efforts of their white competitors have forced the more than 200 Negro ice dealer in Harlem to form a cooperative union among themselves. And this organization will shortly make an appeal to the Harlem public for larger support. According to J. T. Thomas, of 172 West.135th street, the colored ice men-got together only after they had been refused admittance into a similar organization among the dealers mostly Italian, of this section of the city. White union was for the purpose of putting the colored dealers out of business, said Mr. Thomas. One of its first acts was to go to the Colonial Ice Company, manufacture of ice in this territory per week, and demand that this company refuse to sell-to Negro dealers. To date the company has not acceded to this demand, but should they do so, the colored dealers would be forced to buy the Knickerbocker Ice Company which is located in another section of the city. Mr Thomas expressed the opinion that Harlem is the logical territory for the Negro ice dealers to rally to their support they will be driven out of a business in which they are rendering as good service as their competitors. Randolph Reports Vote Strike Progress A. Phillip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, from his headquarters 220 Executive avenue, New York City, has announced that the strike vote is progressing rapidly and satisfactorily. "The results flowing into the national office so far show a preponderance of votes in favor of a suspension of work, and is a most eloquent answer to those skeptics who doubted the readiness of Pullman porters to go to the limit until the Pullman Company accepts the unavoidable and decides to cooperate with the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in the interest to higher service the travelling public and to the 12,000 Negroes whose services is the basis of the Company's wealth" said Randolph. At the Boston headquarters of the Brotherhood, Frank R. Crosswaith estimated that 50 per cent of the local porters had already voted, in spite of the many soble and open influences being brought by the porters of Mr. Crosswaith, that he had been reliably informed that several local ministers were approached in behalf of the company to bar the officers of the Brotherhood from speaking in Nepto churches. However, A. Philip Randolph spoke in Fhehenzer Baptist Church, West Philadelphia, on April 5, 2007, "Segregation Promise or a Menace," Dr. C. A. Ward, pastor of Fhehenzer, is an addict of the porters' cause. This discrimination against the Negro police is alleged to have been due to the personal prejudices of Captain John Noble, who is in charge of the 16th Piececinct in the heart of Hartem. According to reports reaching The Age, about 100 police from this piececinct were arrested at Fifth avenue and 28rd street for the parade. But Captain Noble picked out the names of the more than 25 Negroes in this group and gave them to Sergeant Lustbater to "put them over in back". The sergeant carried out this order by wearing colored police on duty too. And Madam side of the park facing each parade and where they would not be seen by any of the notables in the line of march. A Lone Jew Also Banned. Along with the 25 colored police was a lone Jewish member of the those whose uniform was torn and who had been beaten as a form of punishment for his untidy appearance. This is not the first time that Captain Noble has shown a prejudiced attitude toward the Negroes under his command, say the Age informants. He has let it be known that the colored policemen must not sleep in the same section of the police dormitory as their white fellow officers, and he is alleged to have dealt severely with Negroes against the rules of the Department, where other men under his command have been let off lightly for the same charges. About 500 new policemen will be added to the force about June 1 and in this group will be seven more Negroes. Since the section assigned to the colored police to sleep in at the 10th Precinct is already overcrowded, some of the men at this Precinct are wondering where the seven additional men will sleep. The matter of discrimination at the 16th Precincts has been taken up with the proper authorities. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. The first annual scholarship night of Tuskegee Institute was held Wednesday honoring five students who have during the year maintained scholastic standing of the first rank. The students so honored are Miss Cassie Hamilton of Hope, Ark., and Miss Dorothy Dean Gordon of Magnolia, Miss; of the graduating college class; of the graduating college class; William Lighttoole of Columbia, Ga, and Alfred Taylor of Pensacola, Fla., senior normal students.

P., will be held in the new Shrine Civic Auditorium, according to an announcement made by Dr. H. Clayge Hodson, president of the local branch of that organization. The auditorium is one of the show places on the Pacific Coast. The meeting will be preceded by a mammoth street parade, or which moving pictures will be made. The building is of Mocrist archi-tecture, built to replace the old auditorium turned in 1921, and seats 6,442, with room for hundreds, more on the stage. --- In a letter to The New York Age, under date of April 28, the Rev. Dr. William Byrd, pastor of the Lafayette Presbyterian Church, Jersey City, N. J., declares that the statements contained in a news story published by The Age in its issue of April 28, concerning the action of the Jersey City Presbytery in demanding that Dr. Byrd vacate that pulpit by June 1, are very raise. The article referred to was headed: Dr. Byrd Must Quit as Pastor J. C. Church; and told of the reputed action of the, Presbytery, after months of dissension and strife between the Rev. Dr. William A. Byrd, and a large part of the membership."Mention was made of a report that Dr. John Gratton, moderator of the Presbytery, came to the church to read a notice of the action taken after Dr. Byrd had refused to resign, but that "the notice was not read without strong opposition on part of the pastor." "Hayes" For Abrams. Another paragraph told of a suit filed by "Roland R. Hawes," a former trustee and treasurer, on a note for $200, signed by "William J. Morrison" and endorsed by Dr. Byrd. This referred to a suit instituted by Roland R. Abrams, of 2355 Hudson Boulevard, Jersey City, who was the former trustee and church treasurer referred to, but whose name, by a typographical error, was printed as "Hayes" instead of "Abrams." It was also stated that Dr. Byrd was being in another case for $700 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. This is alleged to have concerned a Mrs. Williams of Sidler street, Jersey City, now decreased, and The Age is informed that the case was settled in court on Thursday, April 26. Dr. Byrd's Letter: The letter from Dr. Byrd to the editor of The Age is as follows: LAFAYETTE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH "764 Ocean Avenue, Jersey City, W. J. Mr. Fred R. Moore, Editor, "The news item appearing in your issue of April 28th touching Lafayette Church, Jersey City and William A. Byrd, is libellous. You are herewith requested to retract the same in your issue of May 5th, 1928. For your information; every one appearing in Lafayette Church with a Presbyterian notice was given permission by me to read the same but at the time of outices. 2nd. I have had no financial dealings with any Mr. Hayes. 3rd. No woman friend at any time has placed any sum of money at my disposal nor has any woman died from the effects of any such arrangement. 4th. The Lafayette Presbyterian Church did not vote to concur in the recommendations of Presbytery. 5th. Messrs. Hart- grove, Bowley, Saunders and Sankner did not attempt to oust any one from the chairmanship of the meeting, and neither did the presence of police have any effects on the meeting. 6th. I did not make any remarks after, the vote for the congratulations were so profuse. I could only listen to the joys of my devoted church. Your statements in your last issue are, very false. (Signed) W.M. A. BYRD" Dr. Gratton's Statement. In the New York Herald-Tribune of May 1, the Lafayette Church is referred to in a news story, in which it says that Dr. Byrd charges that the order to vacate the pulpit was inspired by the Ku Klux Klan, but this is denied by Dr. Gratton, the moderator, who is quoted as saying that the action of the Presbytery "resulted from a factional fight within the Lafayette Church." Dr. Gratton, who is pastor of the Palisades Park Presbyterian Church, said that at an election of trustees, told some time ago, the supporters of Dr. Byrd were apparently victorious, but, that his, opponents, and the election was illegal and demanded the pastor's resignation. He states further that after Dr. Byrd had taken the matter to the courts and lost his action, the reshystery, met and "acceded to support the opposition, ordering him (Dr. Byrd) to vacate, by June Dr. Byrd, according to the Herald-Tribune, has declared that if he went most of the congregation would follow him. The Age is informed that a meeting was held Monday night, details of which are promised for next week's issue. MONEY TO LOAN On First, Second, and Third Mortgage Apply To L. C.

The role of the treacherous Beecue, master mind of the Sahara desert tribes, is in the capable hands of William Powell, whose characterization is Boldini in "Beau, Geste" won him fame, Mitchell Lewis is his chief cohort, Suleiman the Strong, a renegade of the desert, and Arnold Kent plays Raoul de Redon, a friend of Henri. There are three outstanding comedy parts, and they are essayed by Noah Beery, as the genial bluffer, the Shilkh El Hamel, much-feeded tribe leader: Roscoe Karns as Buddy, his grand vizier, and Joan Stunlilling as the maid Maudie. "Beau Sabreur" is a story of the desert, a mingling of romance, ad venture, thrills, and cheeriness. It brings to the screen not an ordinary story, but one filled to the brim with punch.

Scouts Be Prepared! Dr. Robinson Reports On Mining Conditions Rev. J. W. Robinson, pastor of St. Mark's Church was a member of a social commission of the Methodist and Congregational Joint Commission for investigating the Coal Mining controversy, at Pittsburgh, Pa.

It was pronounced one of the finest report heard at the meeting in recent times. He was warmly congratulated. Rev. A. C. Garner presided. Attorney Samuel B. Robinson Tells In Ambulance Chasing Probe How He Curried Favor With Harlemites "I've gone out of the way to curry favor with the residents of Harlem," was the reason to which Samuel R. Robinson, lawyer, of 291 Broadway, attributed his negligence practice which included 4,000 cases in the last twelve years, when he testified yesterday in the investigation into ambulance chasing before Justice Wasservogel of the Supreme Court. Mr. Robinson who is now of the firm of Raphael & Robinson, started his legal career in the office of Abraham Oberstein, who was accused earlier in the investigation of withholding the funds of clients. He said 65 per cent of his negligence cases were "among the colored people," and extracts from his case register produced by Isidor I. Kreisel, who is prosecuting the inquiry, showed that forty-eight physicians, all Negroes except four sent him cases. 90-Year Old Woman Dies In Elizabeth Elizabeth, N. J.—Mrs. Mary F. Torrance, ninety, of 708 Fay avenue, Elizabeth, who was born a slave near Blackstone, Va., and who came here in the late sixties, died at the home of her grand Dr Philip M. H. Savory, Negro physician, who later testified that he was Robinson's personal physician, and about nine other Negro physicians, were ordered to leave the courtroom as the lawyer began his testimony. Doctor Sent in Fifty Cases. Robinson said that Dr. Savory sent him as many as fifty cases in one year, and that he made no payment to the physician—except for courtesy attendance. He said that when he settled a case for one of Dr. Savory's patients, he would see that the physician would receive his fee for services rendered. He said he did nothing else for the physicians except to attend to their law work free of charge. Appraising the law work he had hope for Dr. Savory, he estimated at upwards of $1,000; said legal services for Dr. E. E. Rawlins amounted to "fully as much as a thousand," and that work rendered for Dr Godfrey Nurse, over a period of nine or ten years, amounted to several thousand dollars. "Then for these doctors you'd do real services free in part consideration of their sending negligence taxes to you," said Mr. Kresel. Well, do you see any difference between paying a man outright for this service and paying him in your way? "Morally there is no difference; legally there is a difference," Mr. Robinson replied. He added that he felt that this was not an contravention of any statute of the penal code. Received "Christmas Presents." Dav Savory, Nurse and Joseph R. Warren testified in corroboration of Johnson's statements that, aside from a few Christmas presents, no other services were received. Tuskegee Institute, Ala —Arthur W.

All Modern Improvements Rates Reasonable Harlem Tenants League For Rent Protection In spite of the steady downpour of rain, an enthusiastic meeting of tenants gathered Sunday afternoon at Williams Institutional Church, 218 West 130th, street, under auspices of the Harlem Tenants League. A delegation from the Academy Tenants Association attended. The president of this association, Mrs. Lucile Zeumner, told of the struggle for the extension of the emergency rent laws. "These laws would never have been extended but for assistance," faint of the Tenants Association. "This will have been signed, we must remember that it covers apartments between $10 and $15 per room per month for six months only. This means that thousands of tenants will be faced with dispossesse and rent-raises in midwinter next December." "Profitteering landlordism is a pillar of prostitution" said Miss Grace P. Campbell, vice-president of the Harlem Tenants league, and a well-known social worker. "Decent people are forced to tolerate all sorts of undesirable persons and practices in their houses in order to meet the extortionate rents demanded by the landlords." "We are oppressed by powerful and ruthless forces which are not in the least concerned about the health, morals or welfare of the masses of the people," said Richard R. Moore, president of the Harlem Tenants League. "At the Harlem Tenants League Law Bill which provided standards of health and safety, all the wealth interests, Chambers of Commerce, really associations, etc., massed their forces to defeat it. These same exploiters fought to prevent the extension of the rent laws, declaring 'we want to get possession of our property so we can improve it."

RACE MUST INSIST ON EVERY RIGHT OF U.S. CITIZEN Must Be Treated Neither As White or Black But As American Man Cleveland, O.—There is one thing which we must keep in mind, black and white alike" declared Dr. Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, at the opening of the new Phillis Wheatley Association building in Cleveland, the largest of its kind in the country, on April 24 and 25. "There is one thing about which we must not fool ourselves nor allow anyone else to fool us. That is that the Negro always has and always will insist upon having every right and privilege of any American citizen, the right to save, to work ushampred, to educate his children, an equal say in government affairs, and the right to be treated not as a black man nor yet as a white man, but as a man, and an American citizen. "For the sake of ourselves, our children's children and our God, we must strive sincerely and honestly to bring this to pass. Else Christianity is a mockery, and democracy is a failure," Dr. Moton concluded to the five hundred prominent Cleveland citizens, Negro and white, who packed the gymnasium of the new building at the lincheon which began the two-day opening. Dr Moton also declared that today the South is more aggressive in seeming that justice is done the Negro has ever been in the course of its mischief. He said the building of the association's new nine-story structure as one of the finest examples of interracial cooperation that he had ever known. Miss Jane E. Hunter, founder and executive secretary of the association, was praised for her devotion and service to her race. Both Races Helped Phillis Wheatley Association was founded in 1914. Miss Hunter had collected $500 from her people. The weakly white friends whom she had interested in her dream for her people raised $1,300 more. The board of the new organization contained both Negroes and white people, and side by side they have worked and struggled all through the years for a finer association. Their first building had 24 rooms, the next 75, the new one can house 135 girls, in addition to the educational department, the gymnasium, the cafeteria, the parors, offices, and reading rooms. The first years of the association were a struggle for funds to keep going, but in 1918, the organization was invited to become a beneficiary in the Cleveland Community Fund, so that all worry for funds for maintenance was past. Today the yearly budget of the association totals $80,950, of which $40,300 is received from the Community Fund. Telegrams were received from almost every state in the Union congratulating the association on us success. Visiting guests came from all part of the country to congratulate Miss Hunter on the opening of the largest building in the country for the service of Negro women and girls. Among them was Mrs Mary McLeod Bethune, president of the National Federation of Colored Women's clubs, from Flooda's She was the speaker of the evening meeting on the second day of the opening. It is estimated that almost a thousand people swarmed through the halls of the building on inspection tours during the two days of the opening.

Griffin, minister, of 2019 Magellan avenue, one of the $25 awards offered by Liberty magazines recently' for the best answers to the question: "Are women people?" The winning letters were culled from thousands of replies. Repeating the question, the Rev. Mr. Griffin wrote: "I could give no other than an affirmative answer. My wife has been the inspiration of my hopes and ambitions. She has been my all in all." "When despondent, it was she who dispersed the gloom by her cheerfulness; when happy, she was always glad, and rejoiced in my joy. She seemed to think that her one function in life was to keep me happy. When funds were low, she always had a way to make it a sufficiency. "She had great interest in my work, and when ill, she would gladly take my place, to the great joy and relief of many of the congregation." "Now that she has gone, life for me has lost for the present at least all its charms." No. 950 Suite of arm chairandsofa.

Ridge, Md.-Lantern slides on the work of the U. L. Department of Agriculture were shown at the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, Ridge, Md., on Thursday evening, April 19, in the institute dining room. Blanche Biscoe of the junior class read a paper on the work of the Department of Agriculture. The lantern slides, which covered most of the activities of the department, were shown by V. H. Daniel, principal of the institute. In discussing the function of the department, Mr. Daniel pointed out that this service rendered by the government, together with the service of the county demonstration agents, was free to all taxpayers. Following the showing of the slides, the students sang a number of Spirituals, directed by Miss V. B. Cassel, one of the teachers. The girls members of the Willing Workers Club, which has recently been organized to develop a more friendly and cooperative spirit among the students of the institute, and the local young people, remained after their Thursday afternoon meeting to see the slides.

NEW YORK CITY Qwest: Gorringe's Agency, No. 12 Green Street, Leicester Square, London. W. C. 2 all letters and make all checks and money orders parcel to THE NEW YORK AGE. SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1928. CHICAGO IN CONGRESS. As a result of the sudden death of Representative Martin B. Madden of Chicago, it is very likely that Congress will have a Negro member for the first time since 1896, when George H. White represented the State of North Carolina. During reconstruction days most of the Southern states had colored representatives in Congress, notably North and South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Virginia. Hiram R. Revels and Blanche K. Bruce were Senators from Mississippi, while Robert H. DeLarge, Joseph H. Rainey, Richard H. Cain and Robert Brown Elliott were Representatives from South Carolina. The Chicago district which Mr. Madlen had represented since 1904, is now largely made up of Negro residents, and it was only a strong feeling of confidence in the late Congressman that resulted in his renomination over William J. Dawson, who opposed him at the primaries. The election laws provide that the ward committeemen of the Congress district shall fill the vacancy on the ticket. Among the names mentioned, besides that of Mr. Dawson, are Bishop A. J. Carey, of the A. M. E. Churell and the Chicago Civil Service Commission, Alderman Louis B. Anderson, Oscar DePriest and others of lesser calibre. DERIDING THE AMENDMENTS. Nullification of the Constitution of the United States is again openly advocated and, defended, by Senators from the Southern states. To be sure, they now purport to observe the letter of the law while violating the spirit. In his first article dealing with the effective nullification of the Fourteenth amendment printed in Liberty, the popular weekly magazine, Sidney Sutherland quoted Senator Walter F. George of Georgia, to this effect. In his second article he dealt with the denial of the franchise to Negroes, taking Senator Carter Glass of Virginia as an exponent of the attitude of the Solid South. As in his first article, Mr. Sutherland shows how the decisions of the Supreme Court, based on narrow technicalities, have operated to sustain nullification of the Fifteenth amendment, as well as the Fourteenth. How narrow and technical were the grounds, upon which the Supreme court refused relief in cases involving the suffrage, maybe gathered from a ringing denunciation by Justice Ward Hunt, of the same bench, who vigorously condemned the subterfuges employed to keep colored voters from the polls. Justice Hunt cited the fact that the Federal statutes specifically provided that where a voter had "offered" to qualify and was refused he was as much entitled to vote as if he had been allowed to comply with the local law. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court held that the Federal law applied only to a State and not to the acts of individuals. Justice Hunt believed this reasoning faulty because a State can only act through its employees. While the majority of the court uphold the narrowest possible construction of the law in the Reese case, as enunciated by Chief Justice Waite, the probabilities are, if it was given a rehearing today, the dissenting opinion would prevail. Mr. Sutherland also noted the fact that Congress during the past half century has done absolutely nothing to rectify and punish the evil of disfranchisement by reducing representation on a basis of the actual number of voters. This weapon for the enforcement of a free ballot and a fair count has never been used, despite the efforts of such consistent Republicans as Representative George H. Tinkham of Massachusetts who has repeatedly introduced a bill for that purpose. The most serious objection raised to this drastic remedy is that it would put the seal of legislative approval on the wholesale disfranchisement of the Negro in the South. On the other hand, the loss of political power to the South might help to restore this franchise on a basis that would prove of equal benefit to both races. Naturally, such dyed-in-the-wood bourbons as Senators George and Glass cannot be expected to realize the possibility of such an outcome of the issue, or to admit it as a bare possibility. In last week's issue of The Age, we quoted the former Senator's frank avowal of violation of the spirit of the Constitution Senator Glass in the second article by Mr. Sutherland was equally brutal in his frankness, he being quoted as follows: "The people of the original thirteen Southern States curse and deride and spit upon the Fifteenth Amendment—and have no intention of letting the Negro vote. "We obey the letter of the amendments and the Federal status, but we frankly evade the spirit thereof—and purpose to continue doing so. White supremacy is too precious a thing to surrender for the sake of a theoretical justice that would let a bristish African deem himself the equal of white men and women in Dixie. There spoke the spirit of the old South which is slowly expiring of auto-intoxication produced by the generation of race hatred and color prejudice. The continued practice of injustice and oppression by one set of human beings against another and weaker group cannot help but result in a reaction of this sort. The oppressors suffer as much as the oppressed, by the harm done to their moral character and mental fibre. The fact that these two illustrious Southerners, members of the highest legislative body in the land, exult in the fact of their defiance of law and deriding of the Constitution is sufficient testimony as to their moral decadence. We had expected better things of Senator Glass, but when he exults in the determination to "curse and deride and spit upon the Fifteenth amendment" we have to classify him with Blease and Pat Harrison. The only hope for the South to redeem itself from this sort of leadership is in the ascendency of the new school of thought outlined in "The Advancing South," a school which is making itself manifest in journalism and in the colleges. Later its influence will be felt in politics. In the meaning, it is well to consider that even the Supreme Court is not immune to the liberalizing tendencies of the times, and legal precedents are susceptible to change. Mr. Sutherland has done a good job in turning the light on the present status of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, as contrasted with the Eighteenth. SENATORIAL RECORDS ON LYNCH ING The attitude assumed by several Republican Senators, in the effort to bring the Dyer bill to a vote in the United States Senate, has not been forgotten. In parts of New Jersey, the opponents of former Senator Frelinghuysen have set in motion some insidious propaganda, to the effect that he was not present to vote, when the anti-lynching measure came up for vote. The fact of the matter is that the measure never came up for a vote on its passage in the Senate, because of the successful attempts by the Democratic opposition, aided by weakneed Republicans, to stifle it in committee. Senator Frelinghuysen was one of the most active supporters of the bill, using all his efforts to bring it before the Senate to be voted upon, and putting himself on record in its favor, whenever occasion demanded it. He did not hesitate to declare his position openly and there was no evasion nor equivocation to be found in his attitude. Unfortunately, all the Republican Senators were not so staunch in their advocacy of the measure. Senator Borah of Idaho, a stickler for the Constitution, questioned the constitutionality of the bill, while Senator Wadsworth of New York opposed it, because he did not believe that it would accomplish the end desired. There were other Republicans who were not so frank in their opposition, but who under cover did their part in preventing the measure from coming to a decisive vote. The result was that the effort to put the crime of lynching into the Federal courts, where the power and prestige of the National government could be invoked to protect the life and liberty of all citizens, was brought to naught. Renewed license was given mob murderers to continue their brutal crimes, as was made manifest in the triple massacre at Aiken, South Carolin, where two men and a woman were taken from jail and killed, without any one of the murderers even being indicted for the crime. But the former Senator from New Jersey was not among those who contributed to bring about this abortion of justice. On every occasion when the Dyer bill was pressed for action before the Senate, he was among those actively working for its passage. Any propuganda spread to the contrary is false and intended to prejudice the voters of New Jersey against his nomination. Mr. Frelinghuysen's record on antlynching legislation in the Senate is one that justifies his return to the seat he once occupied. A GOVERNOR'S PORTRAIT. appearing as it does, on the eve of presidential convention, the little voluble "The Portrait of a Man as Governor," by Thomas H. Dickinson, is willing to be regarded and possibly excused as a bit of political propaganda brief but sympathetic foreword by George Foster Peabody, in which he asks the question, "Is Alfred F. Smith Pathfinder to the open road all passers of humanity, and the faithful citizens in a genuine democracy, are prepared, looking for?" invests the world greater significance. The further fact that Mr. Peabody's Governor Smith with such wares as Lenin, Mussolini, Mustafa Camel and Sun Yat. Sen, shows sadness of his vision and his selection. His contention that Governor Smith has captured the imagination of the people will hardly be questioned a judge of men and their charismatic motives, founded on his experience many years in the varied fields of politics and philanthropy, Mr. Yat's opinions and suggestions are related to excite interest and attentive faithful the portrait painted by author of this volume it is not easy to side. Some will undoubtedly catch the character of the subject is highly idealized, and that the authorored the fact that his heroic figure reported by feet of common clay. Without the writer endows his mental and moral qualities like a great governor. The keys that unlock the understates of the Governor's character are his loyalty and mastery. He is attained with a degree of tolerance for allusions of others, that is not always related to visiting delegations, to express their views on pen palitation or other subjects that counter a gubernatorial veto. Mastery is more understandable, as doubtedly possesses and uses a high knowledge of the workings of the government and the principles which it is based. This is an unusual quality that stands at the bottom of this statesmanship. While his analysis of the qualities of Governor has a tendency to point as an ideal character, it fails to answer the question as to whether the qualities with which he is credited enough and strong enough to make a great President. So far as we have been able to observe in the Governor's career, moral issues have too often been subordinated to political issues when there was any conflict involved. Appearing as it does, on the eve of a presidential convention, the little volume entitled "The Portrait of a Man as Governor," by Thomas H. Dickinson, is very likely to be regarded and possibly overlooked as a bit of political propaganda. A brief but sympathetic foreword by George Foster Peabody, in which he suggests the question. "Is Alfred F. Smith the Pathfinder to the open road all true lovers of humanity, and the faithful believers in a genuine democracy, are praying and looking for?" invests the work with greater significance. The further fact that Mr. Peabody contrasts Governor Smith with such world figures as Lenin, Mussolini, Mustapha Kemel and Sun Yat. Sen, shows the broadness of his vision and his selective judgment. His contention that Governor Smith has captured the imagination of the people will hardly be questioned. As a judge of men and their character and motives, founded on his experience of many years in the varied fields of finance, politics and philanthropy, Mr. Peabody's opinions and suggestions are calculated to excite interest and attention. How faithful the portrait painted by the author of this volume it is not easy to decide. Some will undoubtedly claim that the character of the subject is too highly idealized, and that the author has ignored the fact that his heroic figure is supported by feet of common elays. Nevertheless, the writer endows his hero with mental and moral qualities that make a great governor. The keys that unlock the understanding of the Governor's character are given as loyalty and mastery. He is attributed with a degree of tolerance for the opulons of others, that is not always apparent to visiting delegations, who seek to express their views on pending legislation or other subjects that may encounter a gubernatorial veto. His mastery is more understandable, as he undoubtedly possesses and uses a thorough knowledge of the workings of the state government and the principles upon which it is based. This is an intellectual quality that stands at the bottom of his statesmanship. While his analysis of the qualities of the Governor has a tendency to paint him as an ideal character, it fails to answer the question as to whether the moral qualities with which he is credited are deep enough and strong enough to make him a great President. So far as we have been able to observe in the Governor's career, moral issues have too often been subordinated to political issues when there was any conflict involved. AN ICE COMBINATION. It is estimated upon good authort there are at least two hundred and icecem in Harlem, serving custi mostly of their own race. Their is in building up trade in this see presented by the Italian retailers of coal, who have formed a combin against them. This combinatough its representatives, approach of the big wholesalers in the It is estimated upon good authority that there are at least two hundred colored icemen in Harlem, serving customers mostly of their own race. Their success in building up trade in this section is resented by the Italian retailers of ice and coal, who have formed a combination against them. This combination, through its representatives, approached one of the big wholesalers in the ice business, the Colonial Ice Company, and demanded that this company cease to serve the colored dealers in ice. This step indicates the existence of an unlawful combination in restraint of trade, to use the accepted phraseology, but it is not clear as to whether the law will intervene to protect the small dealers. The only course open to the colored retailers seems to be to organize along similar lines, so that they can buy in large enough quantities to make their orders an object to the wholesaler. They should not be discouraged by the effort to squeeze them out of the market, but should make thorough study of the most efficient methods of retailing and giving group services to their customers. The tendency among all lines of special service in such necessaries as ice and coal is to freeze out the independent and unorganized retailers in the interest of a combination of organized dealers. Such an organization has obvious advantages over the independent dealers, in the matter of buying in quantities and allotting routes and rendering service easy and economical. The colored ice dealers must meet the combination against them by adopting the same kind of methods, so long as they are legitimate and work for efficiency of service. They can probably make terms with the wholesalers to sell their ice at the lowest rate possible, if they combine in taking large quantities. They can divide their service territory so as to concentrate deliveries and minimize the distances traveled. They can agree upon a system of rates and collections that will make their service as economical and as convenient as any other. In other words, they can meet any fair form of competition and meet it in a legitimate way. Unfair competition that comes in conflict with the law, will have to be met in another way, which the courts will provide. THE AGE READERS' FORUM In the issue of the Courier of April 28, Mr. Vann attempts to explain his eleventh hour alarm over Randolph a Socialist and the leader of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. This last statement is as loose and superficial as his open letter to the Pullman porters and maids was illogical, unsound and ridiculous. Mr. Vann present, the pitiful and pathetic spectacle of a man hopelessly confused and confounded over an issue with which he is lamentably and utterly, incapable of handling. Dumbbounded and amazed at the bitter denunciation he has received from the porters themselves because of his hypocritical pretense or trying to help them, while it is obvious that his action cannot fail to injure them, he proceeds to call mates as a means of diverting attention from his culpability in playing into the hands of the Pullman Company by trying to force my resignation on the grounds that I am a "dangerous radical." Having permitted the Pullman Company to jockey him into an embarrassing position with respect to the fight of the Pullman porters and maids for the right to organize, a living wage, decent hours of work and better working conditions, and having been exposed before the world as having made a grave error of either head or heart, he raises all sorts of extraneous, irrelevant and immaterial matters with a view to muddying the water in order that he might escape from public conserve and condemnation. He attempts to make a childish bid for the sympathy and pity of the church and the Chicago Defender by intimating my opposition to them, as though, even if true, this had anything to do with his attitude toward the Brotherhood. He seems to wince and smart under the charge which I made that there is a colored gentleman in the woodside somewhere. While I have not said who that colored gentleman is, I repeat that he is there and wherever he is the Brotherhood will smoke him out. In Mr. Vant's latest trade against the Brotherhood and myself there are no pertinent issues raised, he simply says deliciously on tangents that are beside the question. His hallucinations about my being a radical have made the cynical laugh and the judicious grieve. Few people imagined that he was credulous as to think that the ability of a labor organization to write contracts with employers depended upon the politics of the leadership. His printing of the letters from Rev. Jermigan and Mr. Pickens commending his open letter to the Pullman porters doesn't mean anything, since neither of these men has the slightest knowledge of the facts in the controversy, however well-meaning they may be. Why doesn't Mr. Vant print the bushel or more of letters he is receiving from Pullman porters? The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters will march on despite the weak and wicked effort of Vam I throw a monkey wrench into the machinery, and his long support of the organization makes his present betrayal all the more reprehensible and tragically disgraceful for himself. What Mr. Vam ought to do now is to come out like a man and acknowledge his mistake. There is no other way by which he will be able to retrieve his position and secure the good-will of the public. He is foolish to act the part of an African ornate and bury his head in the sand of a few letters from persons who are not acquainted with the issues, and whistle himself into believing that all is well when he knows that he has made the greatest mistake and biggest blunder of his entire life, one which he will never be able to live down unless he makes the proper expiration now. He will then simply stand before the public as one who has used extremely bad judgment on an extremely momentous issue. Of course, it will take a long time for people to rebuild faith in his judgment and granting that he has the manhood to beg the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters pardon for his grievous error. Calling a Halt Editor of The New York Age: If the readers of the *Age* will excuse my digression, I should like to acknowledge my appreciation of the lateness on part of the Courier editor in his at The Pullman Co. will not recognize the so-called Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Pottera with Randolph in out of it, so there need be no more the matter is that the organization does not represent the porter, and since the porter has not organized it nor approached the company, they have no cause to recognize it. I myself have written the company and questioned the right of the company to recognize the so-called Brotherhood, either by bargaining with them or by bringing pressure to bear on the porter in service. There can be no legitimate organization unless the porters are represented in the election of officers and in the formulating of the plans of procedure. This has never been done and therefore the porter cannot be represented; and there is a vast number of porters who would not stand for the recognition without protest, even if the company wanted to do so. And this right from the shoulder. So before there, is any fight for the company to take up, we are who are supposed to 'be the minority group demand of Randolph, or any one else, something to say and be heard on the subject which concerns us more than those we are so outspoken. I think the Negro press in general has gone just a little too far with Randolph without knowing the facts, and yet since there were no voices to be heard except Randolph's there is some excuse. The Pullman Co. would not say anything because they did not consider it worthwhile, and every Negro paper that happened to say anything was supposed to be bought in by the company, when, as a matter of fact, I doubt if the Pullman Co. has ever paid any editor one penny to do a thing they refuse to consider at all. And I certainly do not believe that they, or anyone representing them, has ever offered Randolph a penny. But 'be that as it may, the job belongs to me and 25,000 other Negroes and Randolph or anyone else may as well look for another job if they expect to make a living by drying us out in the field of unemployment. And until that point is settled the Pullman Co. is not kicked, because they have no cause to enter the fight. It is true that, most of the Pullman porters are not educated, and have not thought much, and are therefore easily left by a man of Randolph's type to see an imaginary wrong and have the same magnified a hundred times. But there are enough of us, I am sure, to protect the job that has been the heritage of the race for more than sixty years; and so we call upon the Negro press to either keep quiet on the subject or deal with the facts. The Negro press is supported by the race, and that is made possible through employment, which in turn is made possible by the value of capital of the Negro as a laborer, skilled or unskilled. All that has been done for the Negro's advancement in America has been accomplished through the aid of capital, and the Pullman Co. stands out alone as the greatest benefactor. The labor organization (white) has never played a card (knowingly) intended to benefit the race. In fact, since the laborer is the most ignorant of the population, we may justly assume that all race hatred and discrimination is born in the labor group. Then why have they become so loving all of a sudden? DOCTOR D. WATSON, Poetser, Boston, Mass. "Political Chloroform" Editor of The New York Age: On Sunday, April 29, at the Y. M, C, A., New York City, Dr. Dullois delivered an address, at which time he selected as his subject "The Presidential Election". He first called his audience's attention to the way the campaign is being conducted. He said to date it was merely a personal campaign of likes and dislikes of this candidate and the other and that not one issue had been brought forth. Can you congratulate Dr. Dullois making such a statement? Has Dr. Dullois ever heard or read of Hon. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, or of Farm Relief? "Hon. Frank O. Lowden is the champion of the American peoples' Welfare." Dr. Dulbois used chairs during his discourse illustrating the increase in the Southern population during the last fifty years, also showing the few people that vote. He said the laws disfranchising colored people also disfranchised a large number of white people. Does Dr. Dulbois believe these laws would be in effect as rigid as they are if there were less colored people in the South? Regardless, of Dr. Dulbois' argument as to who these laws affect, they are unconstitutional and I desire to call his attention to the Fourteenth Amendment, Article 2, of the Constitution of the United States. Dr. Dulbois also mentioned having received a small package from Portugal, and that the duty on the Referring to the need for civic improvements in the Negro section of that city, the Richmond Planet said: "The Richmond, Va., News-Leader, of April 9, under the caption, "The Negroes Want More Than Parks or Playgrounds" deals plainly with a most unsatisfactory situation and makes a strong plea for improvement in dealing with this large aggregation of our body politic. We are impressed with the fact that this minority of our white population, which is anxious to do even and exact justice to all classes, is making a persistent fight to bring about a change in existing conditions. The leaven is working, but it will be a long time before a full fruition of their hones and ours shall be realized. Be that as it may, these encouraging statements sound "mighty good" to those of us who hope to live long enough to see the fulfillment of all of our hopes. The fact that no streets in the section named are paved or even oiled, unless they happen to be thoroughfares, was pointed out by the News-Leader, as needing improvement, to save the residents from the plague of dust in summer and the bane of mud in winter. Discussing the political situation in Texas, the Texas Freeman of Houston concludes that the State, with very few exceptions, is for Secretary Hoover as the Republican candidate for President. It said: In the first place, what is unisexually known as the regular republican organization, headed by R. B. Creeger, national committeeman, and Eugene Nolte, state chairmen are solidly and unequivocally for Hoover. Secondly, what there is of opposition, excepting a few would be delegates here and there, emanates solely from the fourteenth congressional district, where Congressman Harry M. Wurzbach is the boss and dominating power in that district, and where Wurzbach stands committed to an uninstructed delegation, while the largest percentage of qualified Negro voters, as indicated very recently at Dallas, favor Hoover unmistakably for the republican presidential nomination. Of course, Bill McDonald is opposed to Hoover, but McDonald is opposed to the republican state organization and all that it stands for, since he and it in 1920 parted the ways at San Antonio, and, subsequently, in 1924 at Cleveland, Ohio, when he espoused the cause of Lowden, as he is doing this year from what The Freeman has heard so far. Recent occurrences at Washington, D.C. where Hoover, on one hand, has completely wiped out segregation in his department, and at republican administration, aided by a few democrats, has responded so badly to Howard University, placing it for all time under the care and protection of the Federal government, hakes it reasonably certain that Negroes, in this state particularly, will not support a democratic ticket at the election in November next, it matters not how the nomination goes at Kansas City. Apparently, colored voters are a unit for the regular organization this year. This is significant in view of the fact that a considerable number of Negro voters supported "Ma" Ferquon for Governor, as a rebuke to the white tendencies of the regular Republican organization. Advocating the teaching of the laws of cooperation, we necessity to racial development, the Nashville Clarion said. There is no limit to the real and abiding values that may be drawn from the universe by the co-operative efforts of men in society, inspired with ideal aims and conducted value, and went on to say that if it were not for duties on foreign goods, the American people would be able to buy foreign goods here in the United States much cheaper, than American goods. Judging from this statement, I presume Dr. Daliois is in favor of free tariff. With a free tariff act诉责 the United-States a few would benefit, because the majority of the American people be the victims, because the people threw other channels would be taxed to meet a deficit which would be caused by free tariff. We have had an experience of free tariff. Of all the tariff acts the flexible protective tariff act, which is now in operation, has produced, best results. I gleaned from Dr. DuBois' address that he is trying to get Colored people to believe that there are no issues involved in the campaign, that they ought to forget about the disfranchisement of over 8,000,000 Negroes in the South, and that with free tariff there would be a reduction in the cost of living. I call such doctrine "A Dose of Political Chloroform" ABRAHAM CHEW Publisher of "A Biography of Col Charles Young".

Let me add my congratulations to the already many thousands for your courageous and successful fight in the recent Aldermanic battle in the City, of New York. I sincerely hope that you will soon enter that door which now stands ajar and leads to a seat in the Nation's Congress. LEA NELSON Saturday; May 6; 1928 under business-like methods. Very little is to be hoped for from any system or program which has originated in social despair, or in social bitterness, or in men's distrust of one another, in the atmosphere of the sickroom, or in that of the cockpit. It is cause for deep regret that some of the systems and programmes that are now being offered us betray 'marks of having originated in that way. Some are based on the assumption that men are untrustworthy, stupid or sickly beings, who need to be coerced, policed, watched, or dosed and coddled in order to bring them to the point of dealing fairly by their neighbors. Proceeding on that assumption they soon lose their constructive or onward-moving character, and end by becoming instruments in the hands of oppressive majorities. Cooperation, in order to be effective, must have wise and intelligent leadership, backed up by a loyal and zealous following. Until this combination is achieved, most cooperative movements degenerate into the blind leading the blind into the ditch of repeated failures. In the column of Hotel Notes printed in the Portland, Oregon, Advocate, occurred the following paragraph: Mr. Edward Boyce, president of The Portland, who recently retreated from California where he viewed dining room service at a number of hostelries, which convinced him that the service of colored waiters was far superior in a number of ways to other service. On Monday morning he called the waiters together and praised them for their service and department in general. He told them of his experience in other hotels. The waiters are exceedingly happy over the compliment paid them by Mr. Boyce. And as one pioneer waiter expressed it "we are going to hit the ball harder than ever before to deliver the goods." This is reassuring as to the capacity of the race to maintain such positions in the labor world, where they have demonstrated skill and fitness. The tendency in the East to supplant colored waiters by whites in the larger hotels has occasioned an economic loss, not easily repaired in other pursuits. 一 Commenting on the election of Captain William Warfield to the legislature from the fifth senatorial district of Illinois, the Chicago Whip said. Warfield is of African descent and makes the sixth member of his race to be elected to serve in the law making body of the commonwealth at one time. He makes the sixth solon and he also makes history for his race. His district encompasses some of the exclusive Kenwood and Hyde Park section. During the late world war, Warfield's district was the battle field His bravery under fire, his courage and fearlessness, won for him the Croix de Guerre and the Distinguished Service medal. He was a hero in time of war and his fellow citizens made him a solon in time of peace. Illinois leads the nation in colored representation in the legislature and it is hoped and trusted that the south solon will represent the district with courage, intelligence and tenness. We do not want him to represent the members of his race alone but the entire district without regard to race or creed. The south solon has won his spurs, and we rejoice in his wonderful and inspiring victory. As a contrast to this picture, the Whip said that "the killing of Attorney Granady in the recent primary election has brought shame and disgrace on the community in which the murder was perpetrated" Chicago is truly a city of contrasts. --- Suggesting the reason way a projected issue of school board failed because of lack of votes, the Kansas City American said. At the last bond issue, coated citizens were promised a new high school, a junior college, and ward schools where they were needed. The money was raised, but the promises of the board were not kept and the school board has, given no adequate explanation, for having failed in the keeping of these promises. Instead of several thousand dollars being expended in the creation of a new high school, only a few thousand were spent in repairing the old building—a mere trade at compared with the amount of money raised for educational purposes. The colored voters and tax-payers of Kansas City are growing impatient at the disregard shown them and their interests in the apportioning of the municipal funds, partisanship by the school board, and demonstrated it by their inactivity and lack of interest in the recent budget issue positional which failed to pass. What the colored citizens and tax-payers of Kansas City want is a square deal from the school board, as well as from the other public departments of the municipality. A certain portion of the city's public funds is justly due them, and it is for that they are contendence. Their attitude on the bond question is that a forerunner on their part of more positive action in the future is protest of such pronounced unfairness. --- If the voters of Kansas City are firm in this attitude toward four-bond issues, they may have discerned the means of assuring a fair investment in school funds.

The first was the separation of the high priesthood, and the second was the qualifications for such priesthood. He emphasized the thought that Christ was of a dual nature. He had an acutely sensitive human soul, and He had the sensations of the body just as we have. Hence He was not a man who could touch infirmities, and thus could make intercession for us. The bishop stated that there were two steps in sin. First, the desire and second the indulgence. He stated that sin is not in having an appetite desire, but in the absence of self-control.

BENEDICTS Tells New York Catholics of His Work In South For Negroes The Right Rev. William J. Hafen bishop of Raleigh, N.C., preached at the three masses in St. Benedet's Church, West $3rd street, on Sun- day, April 29. A large crowd was present at the eleven o'clock mass. This bishop is a very warm friend of the colored people, Protestant and Catholic. He is building churches and schools for them all through his diocese. At one o'clock in the afternoon he confirmed one hundred and fifty adult and children. At ten o'clock mass. Bishop Hafey told something of his work in North Carolina, speaking in part as follows: The N. C. Diocoso "To-day I am going to tell you in a little way something about the race to which I was sent as the that one outfit on the first of jays, which once year ago I was sent there to a race which is very large in territory. It is not so large as you think, and you are in England. No. The state takes in about square miles, that means that my success is a little but larger than the whole state of New York. It is one miles from east to west, go from New York to Washington, D. C. and back to New York, and back to Washington, and you have lovely streets and parks. We know that lets us know that we are plenty of chance to move around. "There are 3,000,000 people living in that state; 2,000,000 are white and 1,000,000 are colored. You say that is interesting, but tell us something about the church. Tell us something about old Mother Church of Jesus Christ established 19 centuries and of which he said go teach all nations. Work Among the Negroes "This morning I want to tell you a little bit about the colored work because that is important. I remember that the great Bishop Curtis of Wilmington said: "When we do our duty to the colored people in the South, we must work from the white people." The day has come when we have got to think of those 12,000,000 for whom Jesus Christ died as He died for all men, so we are trying to go to work in North Carolina where we have 1,000,000 colored people. They are anxious for the truth; they are re-created for the truth; and the time has come when we have to go in and do something definite. "I will give you one instance of the work done down there. We has established three schools for them. I will tell you just about one as an indication of what might be done. I wanted to do something new to make a start and see what may develop in a reasonably short period. I had 10,000 people; 6,000 white and 4,000 colored, and we found about 8 or 10 white Catholics out of 6,000, and I found one colored Catholic out of 4,000, and I said to the priest you have one Catholic who is a real man. David Keyes is his name, and that colored man will go down in history as an apostle. The work that man has done can hardly be imagined, except to see it yourself. We bought the ground; we built the school and church, a nice house for the priest, with nice grounds for the church. We can build very cheaply in the South—at a cost of $27,000. I begged the money, and everything is paid for. Not Ashamed To Beg "Now, after only seven or eight months we have a church that is filled every Sunday; we have 113 children in the school, we can't take anymore. If we had the room we could have 250. They love school and the sisters, and the work is going on, and they say that the Catholic Church is doing a big thing for us. "Now this morning, my dear friends, I thank you for the attention that you have given and I would like to be able to talk and tell our colored folks that I am not ashamed to go out and take up collection this morning. There will be only one collection, and I am going to take it up, and you put in your usual Sunday offering. At the same time if you would like to put in more do not gestitate, you can take it up, or man or woman in the parish this morning who fortunately has a $50 bill. That individual is saying if I drop in that $50, that bishop will have to get heart failure and he could not confirm the children. Do not worry about that, because I have heart and am getting used to that sort of thing. "When they realize that something is believe in me with the money, that something is resultant, when they are the result, they are being realized in me, that naturally loves those individuals, they will make the sacrifice." Brown Mem. Bapt. Church The Men's Progressive Club of Brown Memorial Burling Church, 629 11-Hunter Street, Brooklyn, rendered its usual spring program on thursday evening. James H. Helps is president. George E. Wibecan is the art instructor. The artists were Mrs. Bunadher Newton and Miss Elizabeth Perry. The speaker of the evening was Alderman John C. Hawkins of THIS material contrast between the structures with women (boucher plant) and men (boucher plant) is sufficiently striking to be worth one man to bring about. But satisfactory and encouragers as this is, it is but an imperfect and annual turning out of two or three hundred young men and women for lives inculc to themselves, and their families to of course, a most difficult task. This is the purpose of this book and sought to do. This purpose was to radiate from a center like Tuskeguei the light of the homely but ever living truths which must form the basis of the life of the man who will live.—W. CAM HOWARD, Telfl Justice United States Courts Court Manhattan, The Rev. P. W. Phillips, pastor, responded. Exercises leading up to the pastor's second anniversary celebration are being held each night this week with vocal music by the Silver Leaf Choral Club of Norfolk, Va. The services Sunday were productive of good results in attendance and contributions. Berean Baptist Church The Berean Baptist Church, Bergen street, at rochester avenue, brooklyn, is making steady progress without a pastor. The preacher Sunday, was the Rv. W. H. Krasberry of Last New York. The pulpit committee recommended to the church a program for call-in committee that has secured the services of the S. Thompson of Bloomfield, N. J. for Sunday, May 13, who will be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Goodie, 594 Herkimer street' and other members of the congregation. Siloam Presbyterian Ch. At the morning hour of worship at Siloam, Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor, preached from I John 3.2. The pastor brought out that every believer must believe in both the natural and supernatural. The tendency today is to disbelieve in the supernatural. Whatever is in nature God will use it in the first God and God will use it in the Bible. The Bible school met at 11:15 p.m. The junior department will have charge of the Mother's Day program. Plans are rapidly being made for the Anniversary Day celebration which takes place in the early part of June. In the evening a service of worship was held with the group of members of Siloam and their friends living in Jamaica in the Community Recreation Centre. Dr. Lawton assisted in the service of the evening, also two elders from St. Jamsis Presbyterian Church of City. The music of the evening was finished by Mrs. Cyril W. Miller and a choir of young people. A solo was rendered by Mrs. Rosa L. Daniess of the Siloam choir.

Next Sunday the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be administered at the morning hour of worship every evening. The preparatory services will be held. prayer service is increasingly growing in attendance and in interest and zeal. Concord Baptist Church Striking in its subject and altogether practical and probabilistically in its material was the sermon preached from the pulpit of the Concord Church by its pastor on the fifth Sunday in April, "The Leper's Spots." Tracein, the misdissolved of the disease, leprosy, and gangrene, the unmanifest, the unmanifest, the stigma of the unmanifest, subdued to its victim, the speaker showed the significance of the mysterious cures of the Great Physician. The solution of the problem, the cure for the accursed disease which was offered, was hyssop, the famous mysterious plant which grew from nobody knew among the rocks and which, when rubbed between the hands, parged them whiter than mow. This cleaning plant was only used in the case of the mysterious power to clean the leper's spots whenever the leper submits himself to treatment by' the Master Healer. in the evening of the same day ex-Rabbi M. Magil told the story of his acceptance of the New Testament as a compliment to the Old, and of his thirty-three years of service for the King of the Jews, the risen Christ. The practice of music for Brooklyn Sunday School Anniversary Day was begun in the Sunday school, and in 1921 P. P. Anderson of an offrer from the of the young ladies of the church not directly connected with the Union, Miss Inez Johnson offered to reproduce the play of Elmora Duse, the Italian author, "Thy Will Be Done," for the benefit of the Sunshine Acres Fund. During the past week one would have thought the church building was a meeting place for Metropolitan Opera rehearsals, judging from the music which poured forth der- choir practice.

THE NEW YORK AGE 7 Edwards Leads L.Y.U.Relay Team To Victory At Penn Relay through the brilliant running of Edwards, Negro star middle school runner, the New York University relay teams carried their school to new and hitherto undreamt-of heights in track athletics at annual Penn Relay Carnival on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, last week. Edwards' running gave New York University two championship races, that provided the spectacular feature of the first day of the 60th annual relay meet. The first victory of the New York team came in the one mile Middle Atlantic States Collegiate A. A championship race. After a cold rain and a lateroom, that made the track heavy, this race was won in the exerted time of 2 minutes, 27 3-5 seconds. Edwards was anchor man for the Violet team. That Coach Emil Von Elling would send three members of this team team back into the cold and take forty minutes later in quest of the sprint medley college relay of America was entirely unexpected. New York University had never stood so high before in all its history. But the sensational running of Edwards encouraged the coach to try for this coveted prize, and the running of Edwards, aided by Veit and Tracy, enabled the New York team to defeat the University of Chicago, New Hampshire State and Dartmouth in 3 minutes, 36 3-5 seconds. Edwards Stars Twice Edwards extended a remarkable string of relay victories for N. Y. that was begun last January on the indoor boards of New York. In the one mile championship race, the lion-hearted Negro star, took baton in front of his competitors and finished more than 20 yards in the lead. But in the sprint medley race Dartmouth was out in front when he took the baton with half a mile to run. In a few gigantic strides he swept to the outside and passed the humched Dartmouth, Chicago and New Hampshire runners. Once in front Edwards, sped along with his smooth, tremendous strides and maintained his beautiful drive for more than 200 yards, to win from Chicago's anchor man by more than 5 yards. This dusky son of British Guiana had to be in superb condition to run such a race in that amenable weather and at the end, he and his team-mates received a WELLER THAN EVER GALA MAY DAY COSTUME DANCE Given By The New York HAMPTON-TUSKEGEE ALUMNI CLUBS At Renaissance Casino 180th Street and 7th Avenue FRIDAY EV'G, MAY 4, '28 Admission — $1.00 Box Reservations call Edgecombe 8730 Vernon Andrade and His Renaissance Orchestra "For Sweet Charity's Sake" HOPE DAY NURSERY FEA "TOPSY TUR In Charge of GIRLS Directed by Thelma Whittake FRIDAY, M AT NEW MANHATTAN CAS Program 8:30— Music by John C.

Three home runs enabled the Lincoln to win the firt contest, 4-2. In addition to pitching a good game for the seashore boys, Luther Farrell was responsible for his team' two scores.

Both stage and screen yield their very best to make the program one of unsurpassed excellence. Ed. Small's famous Paradise Revue is the stage attraction. This is one of the finest floor shows in the city, comparing favorably with Broadway's well-known night clubs. For its presentation at the Lafayette Theatre this week, the revue has been enlarged, new and gorgeous costumes and scenery provided and entertainers added to the cast. The result defies comparison. It is a fast-moving, screamingly-funny, tuneful revue, with splendid music, wonderful dancing, and roaring comedy. The chorus has been doubled in size, and under the masterful direction of Leonard Harper, lend dash and color and beauty to the revue. A special word must be said for Charlie Johnson and his Orchestra. We have heard wonderful bands at the Lafayette Theatre. Two weeks' ago Fletcher Hinderson and his musicians gave a wonderful performance. We also remember the work of Sam Wooding's Band. But neither of these bands, nor indeed any band that we have heard in recent years, is superior to Charlie Johnson's splendid aggregation. From the opening chord throughout the entire revue and through four special numbers, this band played faultlessly, inspiringly and in a manner that sent the audience out laughing and bumming tunes. In addition to the band, mention should also be made of the splendid performances of Dewey Brown, Willie Jackson, Alto Oates, Blondina Stern, Bee Footes and Sherman and White. The feature photoplay for the week is "The Jazz Singer," starring the world's greatest performer, Al Jolson. This picture has just finished a record run of two years on Broadway. It is one of the greatest pictures ever produced and is said to relate the fascinating biography of Al Jolson himself. Sobs were heard all over the theatre at the Monday matinee during the dramatic moments in the picture. The contest had scarcely gotten under way when Levyza nailed flowers on the chin with a terrific right that stopped the New York boxer on the count of eight. After flowers had cleared he torched into its opponent and won from a. Lew Leslie To Bring "Blackbirds of 1928" To Liberty Theatre Lew Leslie, who, in the late Florence Mills, saw the commercial potentialities of the swift, animated, distinctive type of dancing characteristic of Negro performers, has gotten together another gifted group for a new all-colored musical revue, which he is bringing to Broadway on May 9. He has named the new revue "Blackbirds of 1928." In the cast are some new faces and many old favorites.

HANDY PRESENTED ORCHESRA AND SINGERS IN PROGRAM OF 'BLUES' AND SPIRITUALS AT CARNEGIE HALL Despite a wind and rain storm of almost tropic intensity, the spacious auditorium of Carnegie Hall was well-night filled on Friday night, April 27, when William C. Handy, known far and wide as the "Blues" composer, brought a program of "blues" and jazz numbers, together with Negro Spirituals, to his auditors, using an orchestra of about forty pieces and a mixed vocal chorus of some twenty men and women as his vehicles of expression. The occasion was reputed to mark the 25th anniversary of the composing of "The Memphis Blues", and after a number called "The Birth of Jazz", given by a group of male singers heating upon tom toms, that composition introduced Mr. Handy to the conductor's stand for the formal first number. (Boston Traveler, April 30) The sedulous concert, goer must have been somewhat astonished to find himself grazed with the rare good fortune of listening to so great an artist as Roland Hayes when the season of personages is thimming down to the efforts of those who are not so widely heralded. This concert, the last of a series of noteworthy performances on Sunday afternoon in Symphony Hall, is only one of a season of inspiring music and renowned interpreters. The orchestra was made up of string, wood and brass, the string section including a group of fretted instruments. At times, two pianos and the pipe organ were also used. The program did not make known the identity of the pianist who was regularly used, but piano and organ specialties were played by Thomas Waller, whose first appearance was in rendering "The Beale Street Blues". Mr. Waller is familiarly known as "Fate", and his virtuosity as a jazz pianist quickly won favor with the large audience. The vocal chorus gave a group of three Spirituals, including a new and rather striking arrangement of "Sieal away to Jesus" by Mr. Handy, in which he has incorporated some measures from "My Lord, what a morning." Yesterday afternoon brought Roland. Hayes back to the American people, people who hold him in high esteem and with enthusiasm greeted his entrance upon the stage of Symphony Hall. Mr. Hayes made this one his one recital on these shores this season; he has to Boston pass a graceful salute. He brought with him a program of interest, of his nativity and of maturing powers. A group of "blues" numbers included the "Yellow Dog Blues," "St. Louis Blues," with the composer's daughter, Katherine F. Handy, a mezzo soprano, singing the solo), and "The Beale Street Blues." The latter was repeated and then "Fats" Waller had to respond with a piano number as an encore. The orchestra payed a plantation song, "Golden Slippers," George F. Jackson sang "Carry me back to old Virginny," and Russell Smith accompanied himself at the piano, singing the while about "My Old Virginia Home." Then the chorus collaborated with the orchestra ingiving another group of Spirituals, "I'm drinking from the fountain," "Cheer the weary traveler" and "Give me Jesus." Has Message To Glyc Roland Hayes has a message to give, his is the truly depicted word of his people, their sincerity, their grace, their profundness. In no way does he sensitize or variature their realness, there is nothing banal in his song. He stands as a truthful symbol of beauty in his race. Given Mozartian airs of the 17th century "Si Mistra la Sorre" and "An Chloe," he finds in his melody music, music that has in its softly spoken gentleness velocity of meaning. The male group, nine, tenors, and bassos, gave two work songs, "Goin' to see my Sarah" and "Joe Jacobs," and Mrs. H, Sydney Brown displayed considerable ability in playing Coleridge-Taylor's "Bambouh" and Fred N. Bryan's "Santanna," a striking composition with Spanish rhythm and coloring. One of the most popular numbers of the evening came when Mr. Handy presented J. Rosamond Johnson, baritone, pianist and composer, and his co-artist, Taylor Gordon, tenor, in a group of Spirituals arranged by Mr. Johnson, and sung in duet form by the artists. They sang "Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel," "O, wasn't dat a wide river" and "Witness for my Lord," with "Maye you'll love me as I love you," a song recently written by Mr. Johnson, as an encore number. The first part closed with two character songs interpreted by Tom Fletcher, well known comedian, with Bernadin Brown at piano. In German Lieder of Schulther, "Ihr bild" and "Die Foriele," and of Brahms "Dein blues Auech" and "O Komme hohle Sommer Nacht," his intelligence in phrasing, his musi- ticism, reflect the student's sensi- tive, watchful. Nor is he, without the ironic subtlety of Dunner, "His travels this last year have taken him to the hyways; where music is the tongue union which seriousness of intent is visualized in song she has in no way been found laging, his time he has put to worthy use, his car has not dulled, his eye has left no usefulness unnoticed. After a few minutes intermission, the band played Cook's "Dark-town is on tonight," during which an old-time cake walk was demonstrated, with Mrs. Robinson and partner, famous old strutters, being featured. Then the male singers gave Cook's "Exhortation." The most pretentious number of the evening was termed a Negro Rhapsody, "Yamekraw," written by James P. Johnson, and evidently, from the name, intended to typify life in the old Yamacraw section of Savannah, Ga. "Fats" Waller was again featured at the piano. Miss Minnie Brown, sopramo, who enjoys well-deserved favor with New York lovers of music, sang Coleridge-Taylor's "Spring is come," the aria from "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," and two Spirituals, "Hear de Lamb a ceryn" by Burleigh and "Joshua fit de battle of Jericho" by Lawrence Brown. Miss Andrades Lindsay was the accompanist. James Bell, tenor, will sing a program of *Innendale*, French, German and English songs, with Negro folk songs and Spirituals, on Sunday May 13, at Imperial Auditorium, Harry A. Williams at the piano Mr. Handy's son, William C. jr., gave xylophone solos, one of which was the famous "Maple Leaf Rag," written years ago by the late Scott Joplin, who was to ragtime music what Handy is to "Blues." A dawny little singer, Josephine Hall, sang charmingly Ford Dabney's "Africa," and J Rosamond Johnson came back alone and sang an old-time favorite "Under the bamboo tree." A An added number was the appearance of Martha Cooper in costume, red bandana and calico dress, who sang two old "blues" numbers. The closing number was a jazz finale, including Clarence Williams' "Shummy like my sister" Kate," Pinkard's "I'm feeling devilish" and a grand climax was reached with another playing of the "St Louis Blues," with "Fats" Waller at the organ, and the orchestra featuring a cornet gadenza. The concert was under the management of Robert Clairmont. MONARCH 45 BAND IN THIRD SUNDAY AFTERNOON CONCERT GIVES PROGRAM OF CLASSICAL STANDARDS SUPERBLY When the Monarch 45 Band, under leadership of Lieut. Fred W. Simpson, had ended the program offered at its third free Sunday afternoon concert on April 29, those music lovers who had filled the auditorium felt that they had been amply repaid for the time and trouble attendant upon coming to the concert. One was heard to declare, on leaving the building, that she felt as though she had heard a concert for which she would gladly have paid $1 instead of not being required to pay anything. Another, a man from British Guana who has traveled extensively, and who has heard some of the most famous bands both in Europe and in South America, said that he had heard the three concerts played by Monarch Band and had come to the conclusion that this is the finest band he had ever heard. For this program, Lieut. Simpson offered an almost all-classical program, including the Second Hungarian Rhapsody by Liszta, the Solnitzle 1812 by Tschalkovsky, and the Mennet in G by Paderewski. Other numbers were the march, "Glory of the Trumpets", featuring the hymns by Brockenshire; a fantasia, "The Evolution of Dixie", by Lake, a melody of popular melodies arranged by Lieut. Simpson, with vocal harmonies by Arthur Johnson, baritone; the Monarch Trombone Quartet - Lieut. Simpson, Rutherford Jackson, Benjamin Covington and Amornet Hayne - in a number of arrangements by Lieut. Simpson; and a descriptive number "In France", by Suders. Another feature of the alfarmoon was a short address by the flee. Dr. H. Layton Powell, who gave a witty, yet strong and sane address, in the music of music to the race. Alderman Fred R. Moore followed with a short appeal to the public for a more general response to the Twenty-one years ago the late David L. Martin, founder of the Martin-Smith Music School, Inc., started these recitals. Since his death the work of carrying on these recitals has fallen on the shoulders of his widow, who, with the assistance of their talented children, and the cooperation of the teachers and trustees connected with the school, has taken them up to the high standard which was set by him. The 21st annual recital and dance takes place on Friday evening, May 11, at Manhattan Casino. This is the outstanding social and musical event of the season and hundreds look forward to this annual affair. The recital will begin at 8:30 and it is hoped that the lovers of the best there is in music will be in their seats at this time. The Junior Orchestra of the school broadcasted at the Parent's Exposition on April 28, over WGHS, Grand Central Palace. Miss Sonoha Talley and Miss Gertrude Martin played piano and violin solos, respectively on this occasion. On Sunday, April 29, the board of trustees of the, Martin-Smith School entertained the members of that corporation with a musical and tea at five o'clock.

H, Dover's death in The Age's sue of April 21, I have no knowledge of the deceased's late rerdence or his family connections, Pullman porters are 1 4 horribly confused state of chaos} as fo one‘porter knows, anything about the family life of his bother porter, The time has come that we ought to have some information concerning. the lives of tHlose with whom We are daily associatéd. It hap- + pen more frequently than not that ‘when ona of our number falls by the wayside, litte or no interest is shown in his pass- im, We do not even know his home.address, U have a big list of names and addresses of porters in your town, but there are many more yet to be added. Maybe you can Suggest some plan whereby we may know -yomethingeabout the cesidence and family history of-one another. We should try to eliminate that old custom, which is so strong with us of * "God for us all and the devil take the hindmost”. A group of us are trying to evolve a plan by which we may know some- thug of our fellow-workers, whether they live East or West, North or South, and whether they are meeting with mffortune or meeting with sugeess in life. - : mee “Not only “would this plan be heipful to us, as a group, but it would be instructive in numerous ways.’ For instance, many of our porters have a fund of experiences which they have gathered cither from'the World’s"War or from some odd corner of the"éarth” that makes most interesting conversation and reading. Some of ‘these experienced I have learned irom easual le with many Of them....cccsseuscceseecseeen” The plans and ideas of the writer of this letter are worth encour- aging. They show group pride. ut the only suggestion this column can offer, which might obtain fuller and closer information about mem- bers of the porter groiip, is that offered above. The-column quite agrees With the.correspondenl-thatthere gboulll be Seine way or sucanc, other than those at present, of learninig something regarding members of bis group. ° : a “Members of the porter group number anfiwhere -from eleven to twelve thousands persons. Of this-agregation, ten thousands may be classed as regular porters, that is, porters who remain in the-Pullman service. The personnel of these workers extends from border to bor- der, Canada included, and from coast to coast; in’ fact, wherever Pull- man cars run on this side,of both oceans. The porter from Texas meets the porter from 8iGjine, the ‘porter running out of California comes into contict with thé porter who operates out of New York, and so on, This contact is sonietimnes only for a day; then it is Tor months, and not infequegtly it is for years. . For illusteation, take Chicago as a point where porters froma every part of the country meet one another. Being the largest railroad cen- ter in this country, if not in the world, the Windy City hasé smiall amy of Pullman porters within its limits, both diy and night. As fast as one crew of porters leaves the city another crew Yomes in, Porters who run regularly to Chicago get to know each other fairly well, even when they are_not from the same section or city. . ‘This writer remenibers stopping: at 2 home in Chicago in which there were six regular lodgers, all of whom were Pulman porters and, with the exception of tia, all were from different parts of the United Suites. One of the roomers was from Los Angeles, one from New Orleans, one front Washington, D.C., one from Boston and two from New York, The landlady, a rather industrious and pretty woman, had the knack of making each of her lodgers believe that his city was the one place to which she longed to visit. Each of the roomers parried this -bysassurifig the housewife that if she were not a inarried woman, he would see that she ot theie. Incidggtally, the writer ,learaed some years later, she did go 10 Los Angeles.” She ran off with the California porter. This, of course, is immaterial to our subject. This meeting among the porters is common in all rail “road centers, but, as our correspondent complains, “Tittle do¢s_ one porter know about the other, so faf as home address, environ- ment and other phases“of life, are concerned. Take for instance, the ‘ase of the late Porter Dover. The deceased had run to Chicago: for more than fifteem years. He undolibtedly'tmet 2 host of porters from other cities during that period, yet it is doubtful if more than a few Knew his home address in New York. And unless the Pullman Cki- cago office had it, those fellowworkers with whom he had associated while there, had no expedient way of sending his relatives the ordinary form of condolence, : i : “As we see the matter, a Pyliman porter’s “Who's Who” is) ou best Guggestion for the situation,” The porter's genealogy, and so forth, need not be stressed, unless it is Of royal African lineage—then that would be interesting, ‘bit not important. By far the most important feature of the directory would be the porter's address. Here in Harlem, where we pay so much attention to whether one lives in a steam-heated apartment of a cold water flat, a house with-an elevator or a wall-up, one's address is an index to one’s affluence. By lookiag inthe “Por- ter's Who's Who", you could readily tell just how that particular por- ter was faring. , Ig he resided in upper Harlew,*say, among the St Nicholas’, you would know at once that be was living high, both in location and rent: : ! Rut laying facetiousness aside, a Pullman porter's directory is the only suggestion we can offer our correspondent fer the situation which he deplores. As for the members recounting their various experirences, “which are gleanéd during their travels around the country, that is am eaty proposition to decide. In fact, shat is what this writer has been requesting, nay, begging, the porters to do through this column for the Past five sears, The number who have taken advantage of this offer Xe not exactly encouraging. A “Who's Who” may meet with better success, 25 7 Pullman Districts Preparing - For" Strike __ Foe the first time in its history, which began in 1863, the Pullman Company finds itself preparing for a strike of its porters. Prepara- tions tor stich an eventuality are new,gomg-on in all large Pullman disinets. In the New York Central and ‘the -Penn, Terminal districts, hundreds of men were instructed last week, i the making of beds, the veww'ation and mechauism’ of Pullman ars, and other features per- taming to the operation of these ears. ‘These men may nit be con- sidered strikebrealdrs Jin the.senge- of being: employed merely for the snec.s purpose of breaking a strike. ‘They have been, so it is said, 110: .seil pereenent emptoyment by the Pullman people.

Aécprding to the announcement we have on hand, it will be a damce that will give you a thrill, = ‘ _ Years ago, when New York was nferely a big towa, when com- pared with its size today, and Harlem little more than a rustic com- munity, the New York and New Haven Association was giving dances ‘of an enjoyable character. One of first formal dances the writer re- members evet having attended was that given by this association How long ago that has been, the writer will omit, but he will say this—the impression of that dange has been Jasting.

As the price of this stock is $2.00, per share, which is within the reach of the smallest investor, we are sure you can be urged by an impulse of your own ambition to prepare by means of investment for your future days of happiness and comfort, that can only be born of care, prudence and foresight in these years when thrift means sacrifice. Twenty dollars will buy ten shares of this company, and if your application and payment are received by entitled to the dividend that is to be declared and paid us on or before the 25th of the month, you will be by the company on the 4th of the coming month.

R PHONE Company, Inc H.R. George & Co. Offer New Stock Paying Royalties The H. R. George & Company, Inc., are still breaking all-records in sales of the new stock issue of the Petroleum Royalties Company of Tulsa, Okla., and the many satisfied clients of the firm are taking advantage of participating in the issue. Since the article in The Age last week, the company has declared another dividend of $1\frac{1}{2}$ per cent thus making the total of $40\%$ per cent paid its shareholders. In commenting on the stock, Mr. George said "It has always been said that royalties are like Gold Bonds in the petroleum business but few of the American public or the average investor realize the potentialities of companies specialized in the purchase of royalties. "We have proven from experience that a well satisfied clientele in any business especially in our line, is the best form of advertisement in the world and for that reason we are constrained to strictly adhere to our prescribed code of business ethics, by selecting the class, of securities that have appreciable, intrinsic and potential value to offer for public subscription so as to enable our meeting the confidence, good will and continued patronage of our clientele." The stock was secured recently through the instrumentality of the banker who opened Mr. George in business and for whom Mr. George formerly worked. In continuing his comment Mr. George said "we have often heard of the large financial interest such men like Babe Ruth, Jack Demovet and many of the noted actors and actresses of the country have invested in royalty but the public was always at a loss to determine what royalties are and the returns on money invested therein. These questions we will be glad to define."
