Former Senator Frelinghuysen Seems To Have Strong Chance of Winning Nomination For Return To U.S. Senate Indications are that former Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen will be given a substantial majority in the May 15 primaries in New Jersey in his race for nomination as a candidate for election to the United States Senate. Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. During his six years of service in that body, Senator Frelinghuysen's record was four-square on all questions pertaining to the interests of the Negro, and he never allowed the matter of race to stand in the way of his doing whatever he could to help the race. Evidence of his desire to aid the Negro is seen in South Carolina, where he owns a large plantation, and where he has given liberally of his time and money to better the condition of the colored people. Largely through his efforts, the school term has been lengthened, new school building erected, and the farmers have been aided in securing improved farm implements. In New Jersey, he has contributed materially to the development of the state school for colored students at Bordentown, securing, while president of the State Board of Education and a member of the State Senate, large appropriations that Friend To Negroes During the life time of the late Dr. George E. Cannon of Jersey City, he was one of Mr. Frelinghuysen's most valued advisors, and Mrs. Cannon, the widow is today one of the Senators most loyal supporters. Another rm friend is Chief Walter Robinson, head of the Red Caps at Penn station, who is a resident of New Jersey. The Planfield people, as reported by C. Edward Epps, The Age. representative, are strongly in favor of Senator Frelinghuysen's candidacy and it is said that town will-poll a strong vote in his favor. Ministers of the different denominations are advising their people to support the Senator because of his broad and liberal attitude on all questions affecting the people. One of the strongest factors is that Mr. Frelinghuysen makes no empty promises. He is noted for a strong integrity of purpose, and for faithfully keeping his word. He has always kept faith with his constituents and supporters, and enjoys their confidence and esteem to the fullest measure. Alice Sinclair Crowned Queen of Child Health Alice Sinclair Crowned Queen of Child Health Little Miss Alice Sinclair, four year daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sinclair, 200 West 131st street, was twice crowned Queen of Child Health Day. Tuesday morning, May 1, she was crowned queen by the National Health Association and in the evening was again crowned queen with little Patricia Fitzmaurice, daughter of the famous flyer, by the Department of Health of New York City. This was brought about by little Alice being chosen to represent the Baby Health Station, 43 East 133rd street, where she was, periodically examined from birth until she was two years old. Miss. L. Moore, the nurse in charge of the health station, had been requested by Dr. Louis I. Harris, Commissioner of Health, to select a child to represent the station on May Day, and little Alice was chosen. Washington, D. C.—On May 4, Eddie Savoy celebrated his fifty-eighth anniversary as an attache of the State Department. During this long period of service, Mr. Savoy has come to be one of the best known men in public service and numbers among his friends some of the most dittinguished men of the noun. As messenger to the -Secretary of the State, Mr. Savoy has become almost indispensable, and his duties are actually those of a confidential clerk. He has won the term and respect of citizens of all classes and races, and, with his family, holds important ranking in the community. Nashville, Tenn.—Just sixteen days after her son, William Gilbert, former assistant superintendent of the Sunday School Publishing Board, died, his mother, Mrs. Agnes M. Gilbert, widow of the Rev. Dr. Matthew W. Gilbert, former pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, New York City, also died in two bodies were buried in one grave on Monday, April 30. Prof. Gilbert died April 10, and his mother tied on April 26, both deaths occurring at a local sanitarium. Mother and son were in business together conducting an up-to-date caterea on Centennial Boulevard. He was a graduate of Howard University and had engaged in teaching at State University, Louisville, Ky.; Jackson, Ala., public schools; Southern University at Baton-Rouge, La.; Western College, Macon, Mo.; and Tennessee A. & I. State College, Nashville. Giving up school work he became connected with the publishing board, but because of failing health he resigned and—with his mother, entered the caterea business. He achieved considerable success. His mother's death is attributed to worry from shock and grief at his death. Mrs. Gilbert is survived by a daughter, Miss Ruth, a teacher, in the junior high school at Kansas City, Kan., and a son, Rev. R. M. Gilbert, pastor of Hopewell Baptist Church, Denison, Tex. Macon White People Honor Dead Negro Woman Macon, Ga.-The funeral of Mrs. Cora Humphreys, which occurred in this city a few days ago, afforded a striking illustration of interracial sympathy, good will and respect. For many years prior to her death Mrs. Humphreys was connected with the Masonic Orphans' Home, and previous to that time was employed by a number of the best families of Macon. The funeral was preached by Rev. Chas I. Bass, of Atlanta, past grand master of the Masonic Lodge of Georgia, and was attended by the present grand master by all the inmates and officers of the Masonic Home, and by scores of white people from the city. "She was one of the three most beautiful Christian characters I have ever known," said Dr. Bass in the course of his funeral procession a half mile long followed the body to its last resting place. The Macon News commenting on the funeral said: "It was well worth having lived an exemplary life to have deserved the tribute paid the memory of this good woman by the distinguished minister who preached her funeral."

Young Elmer is just 22, and for the past year has been engaged in the commercial art studio of Mr. Sotrine, in the Arcade Building. ```markdown ``` Heflin Attacks Both Hoover And Smith As Friends Of The Negro Says Both Have Promised That Negro Will Sit In His Cabinet If Elected Washington, D. C.—Declaring that he understood that both Herbert Hoover and Alfred E. Smith had promised that a Negro will sit in their cabinet if elected president of the United States, Senator Helfin of Alabama made a vicious attack on the two leading candidates in the race for the presidency on the floor of the Senate last week. Senator Helfin declared the New York Governor would never be nominated for Houston. At, the same time he predicted that if he were nominated "any Republican will beat him by 10,000,000 votes." In making light of the Smith victory in California, Senator Helfin was supported by Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, who declared that he had calculated "only 18 per cent of the Democratic yote turged out." Senator Helfin repeated charges of corruption and use of a "slush fund" in behalf of Governor Smith. He once more demanded that the campaign expenditures committee investigate, the facts and call in the representatives of the Governor. Senator Helfin read from a prepared address in which he asked Gov. Smith what was his stand on equality of the races. He asserted he had been told that Negroes and whites intermingled freely "in at least three night clubs in New York" and wanted to know the views of Governor Smith on such matters saying: "Governor Smith, what is your position and the position of your so-called Tammany Democrats, Mayor Walker and others, on the question of social equality between Negroes and white people? "By their fruits we shall know them." Recallg Anti-Lynching Bill He also recalled that in the House when 'the anti-lynching bill was up Southern Democrats' appealed in vain to the 'Tammany Democrats for support.' "Not a one of them," he said, 'cast his vote against the Negro Republican politicians' anti-lynching bill." Recurring to his previous criticism of Hoover, the Alabama said nothing had been done about the order, which he then criticized. He assailed "the politician, Democrat or Republican," who would suggest "social equality and race amalgamation." John Brown Memorial Association Holds Sixth Pilgrimage The Sixth Annual Pilgrimage of the John Irown Memorial Association to Lake Placid, N. Y., took place Monday, May 7th. At the Marshall Hotel of Hamilton street, Saratoga, N. Y., the New York City, Camden, N. J., Philadelphia, Pa., and Springfield, Mass., chapters joined together and made the remaining trip jointly to Lake Placid. The Frederick Douglass Chapter of New York City of which Rev. William Lloyd Imes is president and Junius M. Green, chairman, left at 6 a. m., Monday morning driving by motor to Saratoga to join the other chapters. Among those on the trip who left by motor were Rev. William Lloyd Imes, Junius Green, Sergeant Samuel J. Battles, Mr. and Mrs. William H. Wortham, Miss Denise McCellet, Mudge Parris, A. E. Hampton, C. Franklin Carr, Mr. and Mrs. Granville O. Parris, Mrs. Bessy Bearden, Joseph A. Tanner, Charles L. Thorpe and John W. Duncan. Many others made the trip by train. of Neval H. Thomas protesting segregation in the Treasury Department here. The Mills letter was dated April 9, and seems purported to finally dispose of the matter insofar as the Treasury Department is concerned. Mr. Thomas and Robert J. Nelson, executive director of the Elks Civil Liberties Bureau, the "twin-Nemeses" of departmental segregation here, began their anti-segregation fight on the Treasury back in February. It was on the occasion of their first visit to Mr. Mills that he began in such a "hard-boiled" manner, that it was resented by the "twin-Nemeses." Then it was that Mills said to Nelson—I don't care what you tell the colored people; you can't bluff me!" Mr. Nelson had asked the Under-Secretary what should he tell the colored folks in respect to Mills' denial that segregation exists in his department. MONARCH 45 BAND FUND NOW $180; MORE PLEDGES IN Mr. and Mrs. Gordy Make Third Pledge of $5 To The Fund Additional contributions to the Monarch 45 Band free summer Sunday afternoon park concerts have increased to total from $162, as reported last week to $180 up Finds No Segregation. In this April 9-letter Mr. Mills states that after personal investigation he is unable to find any segregation in the department. He contends that five Negro men working in one end of a room to themselves, with 35 white women employed at the other end, is not segregation. In respect to the separating grill between the traces at the Register of the Treasury's office, that was called to his attention in February or March, Mr. Mills wrote that it was not there when he called on the Register of the Treasury some time afterwards. Mr. Mills also wrote that determining questions of policy in the Treasury Department is strictly within the province of the Secretary. Mr. Mellon is Secretary of the Treasury. But not even such persistent persons as Thomas and Nelson ever have been able to get closer to the Secretary than under Secretary Ogden L. Mills! Whether segregation has been wiped out in the Treasury, and not admitted or if segregation is not segregation within the policy meaning of the Secretary, is not known from and through the Mills' letter of April 9. WALTER COHEN WINS FIGHT IN STATE COURTS Lily Whites Fail In Effort To Sidetrack Negroes New Orleans, La.-The effort of the lily white Republicans to overthrow the regular Republican State Committee from functioning came to naught here on Wednesday, May 2, when the court refused to grant an injunction to them. The Walter L. Cohen function will therefore go to Kansas City in June with a full delegation, uninstructed, to fight lily-whiteism and it is believed that the National Committee will recognize their regularity as against the lilywhite group led by Emile Kunz. White Ice Dealers Now Employ Negroes For Harlem Trade Our effect of the recent getting together of Negro retail ice dealers of Harlem, has been to force the white dealers, mostly Italians, in this territory to employ Negroes as assistants. The Italian dealers had been trying to put their Negro competitors out of business by having the wholesale dealers in the neighborhood refuse to gill to them. This the wholesale refused to do, and since the getting together of the Negroes, the whites have been put on the defensive...

Senator du Pont was prevented from attending the exercises on account of illness. G. N. Newbold, state supervisor of Negro institutions in North Carolina, spoke on "What Hampton Has Done and Can Do for North Carolina." NANNIE H. BURROUGHS Harlem Hospital To Get $1,700,000 In Hospital Budget $10,000,000 Appropriation Made By Board of Estimate New York City will spend $10,000,000 on its hospitals during the next two years. The money was appropriated by the committee of the whole of the Board of Estimate on Monday. A total of $500,000 was authorized for improvements of schools, hospital museums, piers and incinerators.

Wanamaker's Store Adopts Policy Of Discrimination Against 250 Negro Employees Under New Regime Complaint of Prejudiced Customer Results In Negroes Being Segregated In Employees' Cafeteria There is a growing feeling of resentment among the 250,000 Negroes in New York over a reported change of policy by the management of the John Wanamaker Department Store toward their 250 Treasury Ogden L. Mills has replied to the letter marked since the death of the late Rodman Wanamaker and in one instance amounted to outright discrimination. According to reports reaching The Age, a customer, unfriendly towards Negroes, reported to the management that she resented seeing Negroes and whites eating together in a restaurant. This outburst on her part was due to having seen the Negro and white employees eating together in the store's cafeteria. An order was alleged to have been issued shortly after this complaint directing that all Negro employees eat together in a social section of the cafeteria. Although no formal protest was filed against this discrimination, maps of the Negro employees showed their resentment by taking the lunch at restaurants outside the store, although this imposed hardship on them, as their meals could more outside. Changes In Policy. When a representative of The Age went to the store and attended ARTHUR WALLER WRITES OF HIS STUDY IN GENEVA Finds Student Life In Europe Different From America Student life in Europe is much different from student life in the United States, writes Arthur O. Waller of Elmhurst, L. L. N. Y., who is studying abroad under a scholarship awarded him by the Springfield Y. M. C. A. College. Mr. Waller before entering Springfield College, was a student at Newton High School, Elmhurst, and had the distinction of being the first Negro student to be elected president of the General Organization of the school. Graduating with honors, he entered the Springfield College where after maintaining a high scholastic average was successful in winning a scholarship with two other students to a year's study at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Writing from Geneva, Mr. Waller says: "I have studied more during my stay than ever before in my school career. There is access here in Geneva to so many sources of knowledge and information that one can hardly cover as much as he would like in one year of study "Student life in Europe is much different than at home, but after one gets used to it, he finds that it is very hard to leave after his one year is completed. "I have been called to Poland to supervise the physical work in the Polish boys' camp during July and August. I will then return to the "States" in order to continue my studies at Springfield, and look forward to graduation the following June. As a result of my success here in our new school of physical education and also at the University of Geneva, the authorities, at Springfield have extended my scholarship to cover my senior year at Springfield next year. "Here in Geneva, I have been doing part-time teaching in some of the elementary schools and tutoring in our own school. I have also introduced basketball in the University of Geneva and have been coaching a squad which has the makings of a good team. We have played in Lyon, Turin and Rome and also several games in Geneva. "Best regards." According to reports reaching The Age, a customer, unfriendly towards Negroes, reported to the management that she resented seeing Negroes and whites eating together in a restaurant. This outburst on her part was due to having seen the Negro and white employees eating together in the store's cafeteria. An order was alleged to have been issued shortly after this complaint directing that all Negro employees eat together in a special section of the cafeteria. Although no formal protest was filed against this discrimination, many of the Negro employees showed their resentment by taking the lunch at restaurants outside the store, although this imposed hardship on them, as they meals one more outside. Changes in Policy When a representative of The Age went to the store and attempted to get details of this matter from several of the Negro employees, all of them refused to have anything to say. Their attitude was expressed by one who had been with the company for more than 20 years. "John Wanamaker is dead and so is Rodman Wanamaker," said this empoyee, "and the score is undergoing numerous changes in policy. Both the founder and son were friends of the Negro, but we can't tell just now how friendly the new management will be. This is not the time for us to protest against any new rules." The speaker went on to say that the change in policy was not simply among the Negro employees, but also among those of other races. Just the week before, a large group of white employees were fired, including a buyer who had been with the firm for many years, be concluded. A talk with other colored employees brought forth the information that there was some discrimination practiced in the cafeteria. But, they added, many white employees also eat outside as much time. Whalen Is Store Head. It is interesting to note that the present chief executive of the New York store is Grover Whalen, former Commissioner of Phanta and Structures, and now head of the Mayor's Committee to welcome distinguished visitors. Mr. Whalen is an influential member of Tammany Hall, a personal friend of the Mayor, and one of the chief backers of Governor Smith's pre-convention campaign Mr. Whalen could not be seen at the store on Monday. The late John Wanamaker and one of his partners in Philadelphia, Robert Curtis Ogden, were friendly disposed toward the Negro and established a precedent for other department stores by employing Negroes as elevator operators, and starters, waiters in the public dining room, in the shipping department, etc. They were both interested in Negro music and fostered the development of the Robert Curtis Ogden Association fostered the development of the Wanamaker Band in Philadelphia and other efforts along this line in the Quaker City and New York. During the lifetime of his son, Rodman Wanamaker, this policy was continued, but from present indications, the policy of the store will be to discourage the employment of Negroes rather than to encourage it. The Police Department is sending out a general warning to parents, urging them to caution their boys against swinging on running boards and rear platforms of street cars. This is a dangerous practice and the police have been given orders to arrest all boys-caught jumping on cars and they will be tried and fined in court. Recognition of Pullman Porters' Union Seen As Political Move By Age Political and Labor Expert (Rienzi B. Lemus is the organizer and head of the Brotherhood of Cooks and Dining Car Walters. He secured the 240-hour month agreement for members of his union, and this agreement is recognized by a dozen of the leading railroads of the country. Because of his activities in labor circles, the following article on the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters carries with it a degree of authority not ordinarily found in news stories.—EDITOR) BY RIENZI B. LEMUS. Washington, D. C.—Kognize Pullman porters' union leader A. Philip R formation communicated L. Vann of Pittsburgh, v Mr. Randolph to "step ases, and seeks to make of in the brush.' But if V unconscionable considerat tact of management and there is neither evidence the conclusion. Washington, D. C.—Pullman Company will recognize Pullman porters' union. It will not deal with union leader A. Philip Randolph. Such is the information communicated to the universe by Robert L. Vann of Pittsburgh, who, therefore, has urged Mr. Randolph to "step aside." Mr. Randolph refuses, and seeks to make of Mr. Vann a 'Senegambian in the brush.' But if Vann were constrained by unconscionable consideration to seek amicable contact of management and union representatives, there is neither evidence of the fact nor reason for Forasmuch as ORGANIZATIONS, not leaders, are accorded recognition and union representatives are plenipotentiaries only when specifically made so by their unions, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters had all to gain and absolutely nothing to lose by sending a representative other than leader Randolph to Pittsburgh to confer with Mr. Vann and officials of the Pullman Company. Not even the late Samuel Gompers would force himself where another union representative was preferred. Chief Publicity Medium Mr. Vann is a successful Pittsburgh attorney; a big-time politician. He is editor and "controller" of the Pittsburgh Courier. And the Courier has stood alone, steadfastly, as chief publicity medium of the porters' union's super-profile propaganda. Additionally, Vann appears to be personally fond of Radolph. The last time I saw them together they had just required to Harlem from the Sharer School for prefects as Vanessa Stadium. The Brunswick man, Mr. Radolph had been Mr. Vann's guest; and none has the temerity to suggest that Vann is either material or promiscuous in the selection of his guest! Inasmuch as the Courrier has been intensively pre-union, and because of Vann's apparent friendliness to Randolph, Vann's opponents have made themselves see, in his effort on behalf of the paranormalists, to ignore the acts of a traitor. Absolutely unsupported by fact, such a conclusion is grossly illogical, to say the very least. To begin with, there is not the least reason to believe that the Pullman Company is any nearer to recognizing the union-solely on its own account than it was two years ago, and it is true as truth itself that Mr. Vann did not take the initiative in the premises It is hardly doubtful that penetration of the rear scene would reveal the significance of the Vann move as strictly political—legitimately so! Flouted Mediation Board Without violating the spirit or intent of the Federal rail labor law, the Pullman Company successfully flaunted the Mediation Board, which found for the porters' union. And if, for any reason, Pullman desired to do business with the union, the way, of necessity, had to be prepared by a mediator. Certainly an enemy of the union would not be approached: such is the work of a friend; and there was every reason to believe that Robert L. Vann was and is a friend of the brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Therefore, logically, consistently, it was the stand of the Courier, and the friendiness of its editor, which would justify the conclusion that Vann's frantic efforts to get Randolph to step aside were in the very best interests of the union in entirety. Not a word in any of Vann's publications on the subject reveals the least unconscionable intent. He wanted Randolph to designate another person to represent the union at a conference with Pullman representatives. Such involved no element of novelty. In rail labor union parlance, "leader," "organizer," "representative," necessarily are not and generally aren't, synonym. On the occasion of the general union's anti-tip, plea presentation to the Interstate Commerce Commission, Mr. Randolph, general organizer and leader of the movement; its attorney, Henry T. Hunt, was representative and made the presentation Mr. Randolph was present; he might as well have been absent He had no part in the presentation! But why such a move on Vann's part at this time? Key To The Situation. I think the key to the situation MONEY TO LOAN On First, Second, and Third Mortgage Apply To L. C.

Such is the 'into the universe by Robert who, therefore, has urged ide." Mr. Randolph refusMr. Vann a 'Senegambian ann were constrained by ion to seek amicable cond union representatives, of the fact nor reason for is to be found in Mr. Vann's published statement that American capital never has dealt with Socialists, that the Pullman Company is 'American capital,' and that Randolph is a Socialist. Interpreted, this means Randolph is not a Republican, Vann is, and so is the Pullman company. It will be recalled that it was in the Courier of April 7 that Mr. Vann started his three-column Randolph onslaught on the front page. "The very next issue of April 14 carried on the front page Mr. Vann's "The Camera," through which he viewed the political situation in respect to the rapidly approaching Presidential campaign. Vann, concedes the Democratic nomination to Gov. Smith, of New York, maintains that as such Smith would be unbeatable, except by such Republicans as Vice President-Dawes and Dwight W. Morrow, our Mexican Ambassador, both of the same Republican "big business" affiliation as the Pulliman Company! No Vann is no homeopath. He puts Morrow's name at the end where it will be most easily recalled, and the allopathic "carrying-drug" significance of Dawes name is "palpahy" obvious—in view of the Morrow for President talk current here, which I told about in The Age of April 28. And, despite my personal conviction that President Coolidge is好 in the Coolidge-Mellon-Butter-Stearns group's proMorrow determination accumulates—including Vann's discovery that only Dawes or Morrow can beat Al Smith. Morrow's Two Avenues. If it is their purpose to nominate Morrow, now is time for his proponents to lay groundwork for his popular appeal to Negro voters. It has been done for Hoover through his abolishment of segregation in his department and removal of it from the Interior Department by Secretary Work, who first refused to do so, and through Secretary Hoover's absolute fairness in dealing with the Negro advisory committee on Mississippi Plood Relief. This leaves but two avenues of Negro approach, for Morrow, namely, by abolishing segregation in "big business" Secretary Mellon's Treasury, where it is most rampant, and through recognition of the Pullman porters' union by the Pullman Company.

Wilson's Labor Board, destroyed by this Administration, the matter would have been determined long ago—in favor of the union. And it was perfectly natural for Mr. Vanni who, with R. R. Church, Memphis, and Dr. Ennett J. Scott, made up the advisory committee to the Republican National Committee in 1924, who was of the Negro management of the Harding campaign in 1920, who lives in the same political environment as the Mellons, who has been friendly to the porters' union to be approached as mediator. A Grave Blunder. As there is no way whatever, as long as the, Walson-Parket, Aet remains the law; to get, recognition if the management doesn't doesnt want to accord it, the porters' union made a grave blunder by not going, thoroughly, into the Vann' preposals. For a representative can compromise it n a confidence with management's representatives, it is not much of a union. And it will be four years hence are the approach to another Presidential campaign. Recognition is what it wants, what it has spent thousands of dollars in value to get and what I think, it has just missed. I admire Mr. Vann's motive and courage but damn his judgment and methods. He should have done "gumshoe" work instead of rushing into print. If he had he would have established just such big business connections as the Negro needs, politically, and might have the porters and maids a useful tool. For certainly, there would be nothing condemn in a laisance of Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the "business" faction of the Republican party on account of the latters' exigency. Because the "big fellows" never forget! Hampton Summer School Hampton Institute, Va.—Following the spring meeting of the trustees of Hampton Institute it, was announced by Dr. James E.

Pays Tribute To Race's Music As "Universal Language" Washington, D. C.-George Foster Peabody, banker and philanthropist, of New York City, addressed the students of Howard University in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel Monday morning, April 30, 1928. Dr. Peabody spoke of the faith possessed by the students in attendance at Howard University, for said he: "No young man of young woman comes to a university such as this without some measure of faith in themselves," and urged that they would use the facilities to be found at Howard University to add ignorant of historical knowledge; ignorant of scientific discovery, but it went straight to the soul of the to their faith knowledge—knowledge of what to do and how to do." He also spoke of the faith that others had in them, and emphasised his statement by the remarks of Dr. Felix Adler, considered by him as one of the greatest philophetic men of the Jewish race, who upon being introduced to an audience at Hampton Institute said: "I come to you, a disadvantaged race, as one of a disadvantaged race would come, to say to you that your race peculiarly has had as its friends the finest and noblest specimens of other races whom I have ever known." One Universal Language. In commenting upon the race's musical ability, he stated: "I am always interested in speaking to a group of people who speak and understand the universal language. There is one universal language, and that is the greatest of Art-Music. It is your race that has given to the world Spirituals." It came from people ignorant of book learning, universal instinct that unites all men and all women, and when can unite the human with the Diving completely? He told of his knowledge of General O. O. Howard, after whom Howard University is named, said he: "I knew of his profound interest in having the United States begin to redeem itself for the injury that it had done to the people who were brought over to this country. General Howard in having a part LOTS FOR COLORED FOLK IN A BUILT UP COLORED COMMUNITY AMITYVILLE MANOR AMITYVILLE, L. I.

Y. in the founding of this School had in mind not merely the aid to be given to your, people to show what you have in you or what you have to give to this great experiment of Democracy, but, he, with the intuition that the Divine Spirit gives to its prophets, felt that by the work of a University like Howard, and by the work of other schools and colleges throughout this country, the other nine-tenths of the Nation would understand that among them there was this great and profound treasury, of wealth in the minds and in the hearts and in the souls of the people who have this great gift of Music." He also told of his intimate relationship with General Armstrong whom General Howard desired to take charge of the Freedmen's Bureau immediately after the Civil War. "But," said he, "General Armstrong's reply was No, that is not the way to help, these people. The way to help them is to teach them the great dignity of labor. No man or woman come to be what he means to be, or what it is possible for him to be unless he learns the dignity of labor; of working with the hand, the head and the heart to advance the welfare of humanity, to show the glory and dignity of Sonship of the Divine, which is not limited to any color, science or art." Difficulties Bring Glorios. In speaking of the handicaps to which the race is subjected, he said: "It is true that every time one of your race does a thing below the level of honor and dignity all your race is charged with it. I know very well how it makes you feel; I know of your difficulties. They are aggravating to many of your friends as well as yourself; but is the great difficulty that brings out the glories in men and women. It is the difficulty that we face that brings out the strength of mind, strength of persistence, the element of determination to overcome; for as we read the history of men and nations we find that overcoming is the one big quality." He concluded his remarks by calling attention to the obligations resting, upon those attending such an institution. Said he: "Peculiarly upon you rests this obligation to do noble deeds—deeds, that every one can see and know, and if rightly done in which every one may rejoice." A special musical program was arranged by Miss Childers, director of the School of Music, and Roy W. Tibbs, director of the Men's Glee Club. The Choral Society and the Men's Glee Club rendered a number of selections not only to the delight of Mr. Peabody, but also to the delight of the large audience which crowded all available space in Rankin Memorial Chapel. John S. Graves, Hotel Man, Dies In Washington Washington, D. C.-John S. Graves, proprietor of 'Graves' Hotel Cafe at 20 G street, northwest for sixteen years, died while sitting in a chair in his place of business. He came to this city from Caswell County, N. C., about 1897, and was first employed in the Government Printing Office. After fifteen years, in that service, he opened the cafe in G street, building up a splendid business and amassing considerable wealth. He was rated as worth about $100,000 when death overtook him. He was said to have more, colored employees than any other man in the city. The funeral was held from 19th Street Baptist Church, of which he was a member, the services being conducted by the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor. Mr. Graves was a member of several fraternal orders, including the Elks, Odd Fellows, Masons, and the Barnueker and Crispus Attucks Relief Associations. He is survived by the widow, Mrs. Minnie L. Graves; two sons, John A. and Sterling; two grandchildren, Sterling and Berenice Robinson, and a brother, Wesley H. Jones. Mr. Graves was known for his philanthropy, being a liberal contributor to the Y. M. and Y. W. C. Ws. to churches and other organizations. Some of his employees were associated with his business from the beginning, and all of them attended the funeral. The church was crowded to capacity. Dr. Moton Addresses Montgomery Citizens Montgomery, Ala.—Addressing an audience of 1,200 colored and white in the Old Ship Quincy here Saturday afternoon, Dr. Robert R. Motan, principal of Tuskegee Institute, stated that the "Negroes of the South need have no fear, of being displaced by imported foreigners if they make themselves so efficient in whatever employment they may be engaged that their services will become indispensable. It's up to us to do our jobs so well that no one can take them from us." Colored people are farther advanced than any other group of darker people of the world,—the Japanese alone excepted. This advance will continue, Dr. Motan said. FOR COI A BUILT UP COI as the understanding between races clears up. Dr. Mocha's address was preceded by a musical program featuring the Tuskegee Institute quarter and local talent. RACES PLEDGE FRIENDSHIP IN GEORGIA TOWN Notable Meeting Staged By Waycross Business League Members Waycross; Ga.-The most notable interracial meeting in the history of this city was held Monday evening, April 30, in Mt. 'Zion Church, attended by many of the most prominent and influential citizens of both races. Arranged by the Wayeross Negro Business League, the meeting had the cooperation also of the city administration and all the white civic clubs, and brought together a distinguished and representative personnel for the interchange of views and the obligation of mutual good will. Dr. W. H. Wright, President of the Negro Business League, presided, and Secretary Carlton W. Gaines stated the purpose of the meeting. The program was then turned over to Harry D. Reed, former Judge of the Superior Court, who distinguished himself last year by the conviction and sentencing of a dozen members of a lynching mob at Douglasville. Judge-Reed spoke briefly and introduced successively the mayor, the superintendent of city schools, the secretary of the chamber of commerce, the present judge of the superior court, the presidents of the Lions and Kiwanis Clubs, the editor of the daily paper, the city manager and others. All the speakers expressed cordial appreciation of the high character of the community's Negro population, and pledged the organizations which they represented to do all in their power for the maintenance of relations now existing and for the improvement of conditions as rapidly as possible. A brief address was delivered by R. B. Elacear, of Atlanta, educational director of the Interracial Commission, who told something of the history and methods of the Commission. Resolutions were adopted unanimously, recommending immediate or permanent action by a local interracial committee whose membership shall represent the official and civic leadership of the community. Washington Folks At Neval Thomas Dinner Washington, D. C.—Washington paid its meafe of praise and honour to Neval H. Thomas with a testimonial dinner on April 27. The affair was put on at Armstrong High School. And though a furious storm raged throughout the evening notables here were not deterred from doing honor to the Nemesis of segregation here and hereabouts: The storm, however, seemed to have interfered with communications—mail and telegraph—as neither letter nor telegram of regret was received from a single national officer of the N. A. A. C. P. And it is as president of the local N. A. A. C. P, that Ne val Thomas carries on against the blight of segregation in the Nation's Capitol. The Thomas testimonial was arranged by a committee of which Thomas H. R. Clarke was chairman, Mr. Clarke also served as toastmaster, Armand W. Scott, well known afterley, was the keynoter—and keyed the note high. Assistant Attorney General Perry W. Howard boasted of his membership the local M. A. A. C. P. and killed him. With national organization, which demands in the nature of things, New H. Thomas as national president when the venerable Story lays aside the chieftainship. Dean Kelly 'Miller, who taught "little Neval" at Howard 30 years ago, praised Mr. Thomas in the highest and said he has kept the faith but hath not finished his course and promised that the white folk shall not offer him up. Dean Lucy Slowe, equally full of praise for Pres. Thomas' work, was more concerned with preventing Negroes from offering him up. Recorder of Deeds Arthur G. Proe, who was received with great applause when introduced to toastmaster Clarke as "the high Negro government official who keeps on his job of his department" thanked heen for such a persistent, uncompromising champion of race rights as Negro H. Thomas, particularly In view of the of the fact as pointed out by W. Phil Dahney of Cincinnati in an address not long ago that so many Negroes themselves seem indifferent to the demoralizing influences of segregation. Dr. Emmett J. Scott added his need of praise for Pres. Thomas achievement despite the fact that Howard University, of which he is secretary treasurer, had been well represented, he said, by Deans Miller and Slowe, to not omit the Scotts, had been well represented by the keynoter, Armand W. he testimonial, a watch, was presented to Prof. Thomas by Ferdinand Lee, who said—"Remember, Neval Thomas, the colored folks now have a watch on you." Mortimer M. Harris, realtor, brought prolonged applause when he facetiously remarked that Pres. Thomas will call on "President A Smith" and thank "President Smith" for keeping departments clean of segregation, after next March 4. Mr. Thomas's response was firing and came from the depths of his soul. He has but one ambition, he said, namely, to stand in front of a mirror and know deep down in his own soul that he looks upon the features of a man. Perhaps the most interesting person present was Miss Gretchen McRae, of Colorado, a stenographer in the general Land Office of the Interior department. Miss McRae, translating into action the famous "Fourth of July rhetorical declaration" "he who would be free must strike the first blow,"促膝 to segregate and took the initiative and even failed until she was admitted to the stenographic pool of the General Land Office—the only non-white among 25 white girls. Her persistence enabled Neal Thomas and "Bob Nelson" to carry on until segregation was completely eliminated from the Interior Department in entirety! An excellent dinner was served by Washington's foremost caterer, Mrs. Effe Pettis. Over 100 persons were present. CORRESPONDENTS Please have your news items in by Tuesday morning of each week.

Ryan Assigned To Conduct Investigation Into Alleged Segregation Of Colored Policemen By Capt. John Noble Police Commissioner Warren has ordered a thorough investigation into the charges made that Negro police were discriminated against in the welcoming parade on Monday, April 30, to the Bremen fliers. Inspector Thomas F. Ryan has been assigned to conduct an inquiry and ascertain all facts. He has been questioning policemen, citizens of the community and police officials of the 10th Precinct. So far as he knows there has never been a similar complaint about colored policemen being segregated in previous parades, as it is the policy of the Police Department to treat all officers alike. Inspector Ryan told a representative of The Age "My office in the 14th Precinct Police Station, West 123rd Street, is open to anyone who has evidence to present that an order was issued to segregate the colored policemen. No member of the force need fear reprisals for furnishing anew with such information," said the Inspector Citizens Became Indignant .. Negro citizens became indignant over the report that of the one-and-a-half police from the Ioth Ivreint detailed to keep back the crowd in the Noehli-Fitamauriere Huneenfeld parade the white officers were assigned to duty on Fifth avenue and the colored officers were put on duty on the Madison avenue side of Madison Square Park, facing East which was back of the parade Captain John Noble denies that he issued any order to segregate the colored policemen He declares that color or creed has no influence in the administering of the affairs of the Ioth Precinct. There has been no change in sleeping arrangements at the Ioth Precinct Police Station since Captain Noble took command. They have been the same for years, and the inadequate accommodations have inconvenienced both colored and white police. Capt. Noelle is known as a strict disciplinarian, but plays no favorism is the belief of the Inspector. On Monday night, four - Negro policemen were sent to Hotel Commodore, with a group of white, and on Tuesday night seven were detailed to Hotel Aster.

NEGRO BUSINESS OUTSTANDING IN BIRMINGHAM, ALA. Business League Survey Covered 149 Business Ventures In City --- Birmingham, Ala.—"Outstanding in the Negro businesses of Birmingham are its coal and ice dealers building and plumbing contractors, dry good stores, undertakers, dry cleaning shop, baseball club, finance corporation and insurance companies," reads the report of the business survey which the Nation-ally completed of this city as a part of the nation-wide effort to determine the status of Negro business. The Business League investigators made an exhaustive study of 149 businesses conducted by Negroes in Birmingham, and the adjoining towns of Ensley, Pratt City Woodland and Smithfield. Nearly 100,000 Negroes now reside in the metropolitan district of Birmingham. More than half of these are wage earners in the iron and steel, lumber, cement, brick, and clay and mining industries of the district. Although business is using the effects of unemployment, prospects for early relief seem promising. The report concludes that business shows marked development and that Birmingham business men are awakening to their possibilities. Dr. Bradby To Deliver Commencement Address Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-Dr. Robert L.

HARLEM LIFE INSURANCE CO. OFFERS STOCK Splendid Investment Opportunity Available To Harlemites Harlem's first domestic life insurance company, the Harlem Life Insurance Company, is offering to the general public an opportunity to share in a Negro business that bids fair to excel any similar business of its type now conducted by members of our group in this city. This opportunity is the purchase of stock, which now has a par value of $10 per share. In an interview with a representative of The Age on Monday, Jumius M. Green, president of the new company, gave several reasons why he believed the Harlem Life has an exceptionally bright future. Life insurance companies said he serves as great reservoir into which millions of dollars from hundreds of thousands of people are gathered and from which capital for loans and investments are secured. The Harlem Life — Jerome P. Ottley — Insurance Company will aid the real estate interests of Harlem by making mortgage loans The prosperity of a community depends largely upon the steady employment and good wages of its citizens. Life insurance companies give pleasant and profitable employment to many people. The prosperity of such a company as the Harlem Life Insurance Company will add greatly to the prosperity of Harlem. Rich Dividend Harvest. The history of other insurance companies show that original investors in such companies reap a rich harvest in dividends and increased value of the stock. One such company has paid an average yearly dividend of 200 per cent on its original capital stock. Mr. Green added that the officers of the Harlem Life Insurance Company did not wish to intimate that his company would equal this record. However, he concluded, we feel that since the Harlem Late Insurance Company is a New York corporation and will operate under the most rigid insurance laws in the world and serve the insurance needs of more than 200,000 people, there is every reason to look forward to a most rapid and substantial development. The capital stock of the Harlem Life Insurance Company will consist of 10,000 shares of a par value of $10 each, to be sold at $20 a share, and producing $200,000 Half of this amount will be apportioned to capital and the other less organizing expenses, to surplus. This will give the new company a surplus of $40,000 more than any Negro life insurance had when it began writing insurance. The State Bank and Trust Company is trustee for all funds of the Harlem Life Insurance Company and all payments on account for stock will be made direct to the order of the bank Officers of the company are Junius M. Green, president; Robert P. Braddicks, vice president; Jerome P. Otley, secretary; Javan A. Steele, treasurer; Dr. A. St Clair Jones, medical director; and Pope B. Billips, general counsel. For all stomach and intestinal troubles and disturbances due to teething, there is nothing better than a safe Infants' and Children's Laxative. A. Converted' Southern White Woman Makes Frank Talk To School Converted' Southern White Woman Makes Frank Talk To School Dayto na, Fla.—Sunday, afternoon, April 22, at the usual community service in the Bethune-Cookman College auditorium, Mrs. Maud Palmer Henderson, missionary and philanthropist of Atlanta, Ga, gave to the audience a sartingly frank new view on race relations as seen through the eyes of a "converted" southern white woman. In explaining her work of trying to bring two peoples together, she likened them here in America to two pyramids, close together at the bases, but far apart at their tops. The lower elements of both races are close together; they gamble, bootleg, quarrel and kill together, and know each other intimately. But the upper elements of both races are farther apart. And members of both races are prone to judge the other by the lower element, which they know best. Negroes, as well as whites, have prejudices which must be dispelled before proper relations can be secured. Mrs. Henderson gave an intensely interesting account of the birth of the Commission on Interracial Coordination, and how southern white women were drawn into cooperation with colored club women in anheriting conditions among the poorer Negro population. In conclusion she stated that the eyes of the world are open America to see how she work out the problem of race relations, and urged the prayers of all for God to help us show to the world that two races can live side by side in harmony and christian love. Following the close of the afternoon meeting, Mrs. Henderson held an informal conference with interested white and Negro auditors, to sound out conditions among Negroes in Dawntown Beach that might be remade by interracial co-operation, and laid plans for a return visit to the city to organize a local interracial commission Railroad Man Was in Misery "I was a sick man—could hardly to work at all," says Mr. Chas. E. Parker, of Charleston, Ill. "I had severe throbbing headaches, dizzy spells, indigestion, tightness in my chest, shortness of breath. My back ached and I could not lay in bed with any ease. Any way I turned I was in misery. "I tried different remedies till I heard of Black-Draught. I took a couple of good, big doses of Black-Draught and saw a big change. I was better—I ate better and slept better. I kept it up I took I a bottle to go back to my work. I nm a railroader and my work is hard. "I have kept myself fit by taking Black-Draught, and though I'm 52 years old I can do my work with cappo right along with young men. I am never without Black-Draught. I give it to my nieces for colds and stomach troubles and it helps them. It helps dizziness and bad taste in the mouth—an all 'round good medicine."

C.—The twenty-sixth anniversary exercises of Palmer Memorial Institute, Sedalia, N. C. were opened Thursday, evening with a drama entitled "The Family Honor."

Although the inileent weather prevented the usual procedure for Friday's program, the anniversary parade of students teachers and patrons was held in the auditorium and spacious corridors of Alice Freeman Palmer Hall, which exercise was followed by a remarkably entertaining physical education demonstration by that department. Their program consisted of callisthenes, drills, talk and aesthetic dances. The patrons served a delightful and sumptuous community repast to the teachers and friends after these exercises. Dr. Elliot Speaks The anniversary address was delivered by Dr. Samuel A. Eliot, son of the late Dr. Chas. W. Eliot, Friday evening at 8 o'clock Dr. Eliot began his address by referring to his interest in Palmer Memorial Institute as a noble inheritance having followed most intently the personal friendship his father sustained for the principal Mr. Brown, and the work He stated significantly that "Safety first" is not the motto of young Americans—that youth, more than ever, is willing and anxious to accept the challenge of obstacles and they cherish the privilege of verifying forth to make discoveries of truths and facts. He said that the main difference between an educated man and an uneducated man was that one sees facts and the other sees what facts stand for, that the big business of education is the turning of sight into insight, giving one to see, clearly think independently, imagine vividly and to dare dobly. He declared that the supreme joy of the world is largely its mystery and that education leads one into fascinating realms' where the greatest satisfaction is to follow life into its delightful unknown. He paid many high tributes to the work of the school, its students and teachers, and particularly the noble efforts and triumphs of the principal. Scenes from the pageant, "The Will and the Way," were presented in this connection and the singing of Rudolph Scott, tenor, and Amy Bailey, dramatic soprano, was enjoyed by all. On Saturday morning the annual trustee meeting was called at the school. Many matters of importance, affecting the policies of the institution, were discussed. The anniversary sermon was preached Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock by Dr. Fred L. Brownlee, secretary of the American Missionary Association, New York City. Among the guests present during the weekend were Mrs Lucius R. Eastman, member executive board of the American Missionary Association, Mrs. Chas. C. Macmabon, secretary-treasurer, New England Committee of Palmer Institute, Boston, Mass., Miss Ethel Howard, Mrs Edward F. Mann, Worchester, Mass., and Mrs. O. W. Bright, New York City.

STERLE Treasurer --- The Pageant NOTICE The Nervous Child There are many children, whose general irritability places them in the rather indefinite class of "nervous child." These babies are particularly susceptible to sensory stimuli, that is, easily frightened by bright lights, sudden noises, sudden changes of temperature as exhibited when they are given a bath. They are awakened easily and have "fits" of crying without apparently sufficient cause. They have attacks of convulsions or stiffening of the extremities. They may be addicted to thumb-sucking or in boys particularly to masturbation though a similar habit is not unknown among girls. Bed-wetting and habit-spasms are frequent also. Digestive symptoms are common. They take the breast badly. Despite sufficient milk they are always hungry. Their capacity for food is limited and thus colic and vomiting are common. Sometimes this takes the form of "cyclic vomiting" as the child gets older, in which case there are periodic attacks, of vomiting. Even if weaning is attempted the task is a difficult one as the child stubbornly refuses the new food, much to the distress of the mother and the embarrassment of the doctor. This excessive activity and deficient absorption, of food naturally leads to a malnourished state. Fatigue is usual or when the child has reached the runabout stage they play excessively in the earlier part of the day and are listless in the afternoons. When the child gets older contact with its new environment brings on more difficulties. These children are oftimes precocious, that is, they are prematurely developed mentally and are of the type called "bright." Thus it is a common practice of fond parents to "show-off" the child. This tendency as well as the earlier had management is conducive to an exaggeration of the nervousness. Now we are most likely to find the child suffering from night-terrors, stammering and stuttering. More More serious mental symptoms become manifest, such as vague fears (phobias) self-accusatory delusions, hysteria and some authorities say the much more serious condition called dementia praecox (a gradual deterioration of the instincts and emotions though the intelligence may remain for sometime intact). This however, is an extreme probability. Insurance Co. New York RESERVE COMM. Surplus $20.00 The company to be organized by the State of New York, is now licensed to sell its capital stock at $20.00 per share. The Trust Company is the Trustee and all payments on account are ordered of the Bank. Payments made by the subscriber expenses, until the last payment has been paid in full. If fordied in within the time fixed by each subscriber the full amount of organization expenses. Accensed saleaman will call the Company of New York at 917-675-2222, North Avenue, 7281 Audubon, New York City. --- In the management of these cases the first consideration should be given to a careful history paying attention to the hereditary factors of the family and the developmental history of the child such as the time when it could hold up its head alone, sit unsupported, appearance of the first teeth, when it began to walk and talk. Inquiry should be made concerning its sleep-history and its reaction generally to its environment. Secondly, a careful physical examination will be made by your doctor, for many of these 'nervous manifestations are due to physical defects such as bad teeth, tonsils, malnutrition (which may be a cause as well as a result), anemia and intestinal worms. Correction o these has cleared up many cases under our observation. Thirdly, a mental test by a competent examiner with habits and mental life of children.

BILLUPS General Consul by the past! It can amend, nullify, abrogate any, or all previous legislation. It can create and destroy." In plainer terms, he asserted; "it can do as it pleases." This definition of the unlimited power inherent in the general conference would seem to apply to all branches of Methodism; which traces its origin back to the teachings of John Wesley. For an example of the manner in which the powers of the general conference are asserted and exercised in the performance of its duties, we have only to look at the proceedings of the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which opened in Kansas City last week. Among the first matters taken up was the selection of a court by the chairmen of the standing committees and the conference secretary, consisting of seventeen ministers, to hear charges against Bishop Bast of Copenhagen. 'This case which is pronounced the most sensational event in a century and a quarter of Methodism, grew out of the bishop's suspension after his conviction in Danish civil courts on a charge involving alleged misuse of church funds. The charge before the church court will be "conduct unbecoming a minister." THE SOUTH'S ONLY ISSUE. If the country is to believe such Southern statesmen as Senator Helfin of Alabama and Senator Blease of South Carolina, the main political issue, to which all party lines and candidacies should be secondary, is the question of keeping the Negro down. Farm relief, flood control, development of water power, tax reduction, economy; every national policy, must be subordinated, to segregating government employees according to race and color. This was the gist of arguments by these two senators in their attacks made upon Governor Smith, as a Democratic candidate and Secretary Hoover as a Republican candidate for the presidency. Charges have also been filed against another Methodist bishop alleging "nual-administration" and "immorality," although the latter count is modified as not involving moral turpitude. The first count relates to two trials over which the bishop presided, involving men who had married women divorced on other grounds than adultery, which is forbidden by the church. The immorality count was understood to be based upon some statements of the bishop concerning evolution and an allegation that he falsely certified to the correctness of the journal of the annual conference, knowing that an important part of the proceedings had been suppressed. The general conference has met its duty in these two cases involving the good name of the episcopacy, by appointing a court to hear testimony and determine the sufficiency of the charges. According to a special dispatch to the New York Herald Tribune, Senator Heflin read from a prepared address before the Senate last Friday, in which he asked Governor Smith what was his stand on equality of the races. He asserted he had been told that Negroes and whites intermingled freely "in at least three night clubs in New York" and wanted to know the views of Governor Smith on such matters saying: "Governor Smith what is your position and the position you so-called Tammany Democrats, Mayor Walker and the question of social equality between Negroes and white people? 'By their fruits ye shall know them?' This orderly procedure of the parent body of Methodism in this country should have special significance for the organizations founded and maintained by African Methodists. Both of these bodies have been disturbed and scandalized by charges involving members of the bishopric. These charges have not emanated from irresponsible or merely secular sources, but have been made by members of the denomination and published broadly in one of the denominational publications upon the authority of a general officer of the church. They have included various phases of maladministration and immorality involving moral turpitude. Denunciations of the makers of such charges by a bishops council, or resolutions of confidence in the accused bishops by one or more annual conferences, do not meet the emergency. The charges should be formally submitted to the general conference which has the power and the duty to provide for an orderly hearing and investigation. This is the only way to end the scandal which is playing havoc with the reputation of the bishopric and undermining respect for the churches. Heflin also recalled that when the Dyer anti-lynching bill was up for passage in the House, Southern Democrats appealed in vain to the Tammany Democrats for support in their opposition to the measure. "Not a one of them," she said, cast his vote against the Negro Republican politicians' anti-lynching bill." In his attack upon Secretary Hoover for his order abolishing racial segregation in the census bureau, the Alabama Senator assailed "the politician, Democrat or Republican," who would suggest "social equality and race amalgamation." That's a pretty exhibition of hypocrisy for a Senator coming from Alabama. "Of course, Senator Blease of South Carolina backed up Heflin, despite the fact that he claims to be a friend of the Negro and boasts of the number that he pardoned as Governor and released from the penitentiary. Not to be outdone by his Alabama colleague, he declared Senator Fess, of Ohio, "the very distinguished keynoter of his party," was defeated as a delegate by a Negro "on behalf of one who seas Negroes and white people together in his government department." His most astounding declaration was his understanding "that both Herbert Hoover and Alfred Smith have promised that a Negro will sit in the Cabinet if either of them is elected President." That would be a very becoming act if the man selected brought to the position the requisite character and fitness. A group of twelve millions or more inhabitants are certainly entitled to representation of this sort, even if no promises have been made to that effect. The ranting of these two Senators over a matter of this kind indicates the small calibre of present Southern statesmanship. Not that the South does not possess men capable of better things, but even these have to play the demagogue when the racial bogy of social equality is raised, or be debarred from representative positions dependent upon the restricted franchise now in operation. Only the spread of education and enlightenment will release the South from the domination of the demagogues, whose only capital is the stirring of racial animosity. The flaunting of soiled ecclesiastical linen in publie is neither sightly nor edifying. The churches should clean house promptly and effectively through the general conferences. GOLD DIGGING FOR BUSINESS. The approaching meeting of the National Negro Business League; which will be held in New York next August, will undoubtedly direct attention anew to the lack of diversified business controlled and operated by the race in this city. With a population well over two hundred thousand, the majority of whom are concentrated in the Harlem district, the showing is far from imposing. Outside of the lines of real estate agents and funeral directors, and those establishments involving personal service, such as barber shops, beauty parlors and restaurants, the list of businesses catering to public necessities is very limited. Some of the difficulties encountered in building up and maintaining retail trade, even in such a popular commodity, as ice, were revealed in last week's issue of The Age, which told of the combination formed against the two hundred colored ice dealers doing business in Harlem. Such unfair competition has to be met by cooperation among the dealers who are threatened with the cutting 'off' of their supplies. Among the functions of the recently organized local business league should be the handling of such emergencies as this, and the devising of ways and means to encourage the enterprising retailers and help them to combat unfair competition. The way of the aspiring business man is no smoother than that of the ambitious professional man, or the zealous employee, with the CONFERENCE POWERS AND DUTIES. The powers of the general conference were recently proclaimed by the crudite editor of the Star of Zion, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, in the statement that it is the supreme body in Methodism. Holding that the general conference is supreme over all its creations, the editor maintained: "It cannot be inhibited from what it wants to do by the citation of its previous enactments. It is not bound additional handicap that the former risks his capital invested as well as his time and labor. An important factor in the starting of any business enterprise, whether a strictly commercial or financial undertaking, is the necessity for character and experience on the part of the promoters. This need has been particularly stressed in the formation of banking or loan concerns which propose to raise capital from the community in general and handle the money of others. As a cardinal principle of banking no individual is to be credited with the capacity to handle or invest the funds of the community, unless he has previously demonstrated his ability in that line, either in the handling of his own money or by experience as a subordinate in some well-managed financial institution. This is a requirement always observed by the State banking department, which would account for its reluctance to endorse the various plans submitted for starting banks and other financial institutions. In planning projects of this nature, it is absolutely necessary that the promoters should include men of capacity and experience, as well as character. In arranging for the annual meeting in this city the local Business League will undoubtedly seek an opportunity for the submission of the various business problems peculiar to this section to the assembled wisdom and experience of the national body. A frank discussion of the business and financial needs of the community and suggestious as to the best way to meet them should be helpful to all our race groups in large cities. Harlem has long been called a gold, mine. The problem is as to how that mine of the wealth can be most readily developed to the economic advantage of those who originally produced it. If the leading lights of the National Negro Business League can point out a practical way of gold digging in Harlem, along accepted business lines, its annual session here will have been fruitful to an unprecedented degree. PRANKS OF PREJUDICE. Prejudice plays some queer prank in speech and actions of some people various parts of this great and great country. Even so keen an apology to the freaks of Southern prejudice in New York Times was moved out out the absurdity of a letter written Blease of South Carolina can be printed in the Congressional bind, in connection with the charge "Secretary Hoover has been shown that favors to colored men in the city of the government." These gregors apparently consisted of the fact the colored employees were treated and classified on the same basis as other employees, not colored. The letter referred to one bureau particular, declaring that "the Land at its best is a regular hellhole." Employees were mentioned as making implying that they were the men are too kind to the Negro. Sewoot took up the charge, and wismically disclaiming all knowledge by political motive in the action by South Carolinian, called attention to that "every name mentioned in the name of a Democrat was in the Land Office." And the Tally commented, "thus it would appear if a hellhole had been made in the devilish Republicans had assistance of at least a few Dattie friends". Another freakish performance was only be accounted for as the superpersonal or racial prejudice, was acted in a special to the New World from Winchester, Va., where Egyptian Minister to the United States affronted by being ordered to cool porch, where he and his wife, catching the coronation of the queen, Shenandoah Apple Blossom Fest. Minister and his party were pre-special invitation, but a lady men of the ceremonial committee ordnance all out because she "didn't win around." It took the combiologies of the city officials, meme the Governor's staff and finallyator Byrd himself, to mollify the in-Egyptian dignitary. When prejudice can play such quanks with the manners and mentions, Southerners in high places, can be ordered at that the lowly and ignore the tribe take to ku-kluxism teaching bees? Prejudice plays some queer pranks in the speech and actions of some people in various parts of this great and glorious country. Even so keen an apologist for the freaks of Southern prejudice as the New York Times was moved to point out the absurdity of a letter which Senator Blease of South Carolina caused to be printed in the Congressional Record, "in connection with the charge "that Secretary Hoover has been showing great favors to colored men in the employ of the government." These great favors apparently consisted of the fact that the colored employees were to be treated and classified on the same footing as other employees, not colored. The letter referred to one bureau in particular, declaring that "the Land Office at its best is a regular hellhole." Six employees were mentioned as making it so, implying that they were the men who were too kind to the Negro. Senator Smoot took up the charge, and while ironically disclaiming all knowledge of any political motive in the action by the South Carolinian, called attention to the fact that "every name mentioned in the letter is the name of a Democrat working in the Land Office." And the Times anly commented, "thus it would appear that if a hellhole had been made in the place, the devilish Republicans had had the assistance of at least a few Democratic friends." Another freakish performance which can only be accounted for as the result of personal or racial prejudice, was reported in a special to the New York World from Winchester, Va., where the Egyptian Minister to the United States was affronted by being ordered off a school porch, where he and his wife were watching the coronation of the queen of the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival. The Minister and his party were present by special invitation, but a lady member of the ceremonial committee ordered them all out because she "didn't want him around." It took the combined apologies of the city officials, members of the Governor's staff and finally Governor Byrd himself, to mollify the insulted Egyptian dignitary. When prejudice can play such queer pranks with the manners and mentality of Southerners in high places, can it be wondered at that the lowly and ignorant of the tribe take to ku-kluxism and lynching bees?

Among the most conspicuous offenders against all traffic laws and careful drive THE AGE READERS' FORUM ing are the taxiab operators, who monopolize the throughfares in their quest for customers or in carrying passengers to their destinations. These operators, especially in Harlem, violate all the ordinary traffic rules and neglect to give the signals prescribed as warnings for pedestrians or other vehicles. They turn corners suddenly, swooping down upon the unsuspecting walkers at street crossings, apparently delighting in making them jump for their lives. This neglect by the taxi drivers to observe the rules of the road is largely due to the lack of traffic officers and signals in this territory. Free from the restraint enforced by the presence of an officer or the warning of a signal light, the drivers press down on the accelerator and leave the luckless pedestrians to the alternatives of sudden flight or being run over. In some cases it may be urged that the pedestrians contribute to their danger by making what is popularly known as a "jay-crossing." that is proceeding in a diagonal line from one street corner to an- Emporium Odorium BY GEORGE W. GOODMAN. I have observed advertisements where experts are blind-folded and tell the blends of coffees, teas and cigarettes, but I have yet to hear of the man who can walk into one of Harlen's little picture shows, and be responsible for properly cataloging the manifold arenas there. He indeed would be a find. As you enter on a cold winter night or a warm summer evening, you are met by a wave quite as overpowering as any you can encounter at the sea-shore and not near as refreshing. Yet they travel under the name of amusement places. Just why, no one has been able to successfully explain. "Adequate means of ventilation are quite as foreign as picture. For that, justly blamed for not providing decent places for a playing public, but we can also take over our share or the blame. Though I am no authority on aromas yet I would venture to say some of those I've detected floating about for public approval can be traced to our lack of confidence in the advertisement of Mr. Palmolive that says "Palmolive Soap" will enable to "Keep that School Girl Complexion." I chanced to see in one of these havens a picture of jungle life and on that occasion I am sure the producers would have been overcome with the perfect atmospheric arrangement had they visited the same place. For there was quite as much perspiration on the faces of the audience as the natives in the picture. But I wonder if many do not like these places particularly because you may present yourself in most any attire and be admitted? Some like them because you can shell peanuts and throw the shells all over the floor. Others because anywhere from one to three can sit in a seat and do anything save stop the picture. I have heard some folks say we need cleaner and better pictures in Harlem for the best interests of our young life. But I wonder if they would appreciate fine pictures in dirty surrounding? In most cases they will just wish they fight for better. We get miserable accommodations and worse pictures with an occasional rise to keep us from going insane with mediocrity. As soon as you reach 125th St. the brand of theatrical accommodations and amusements pick up. The places are cleaner and the shows be better. I wonder why. Possibly so when we tire of looking over issues and began to look them in the face, we will make those who rake in the majority of our money give value for value A Review of Societies Editor of The New York Age: Almost every fraternal society has practically the same ideal or object—bringing humanity in a closer relationship, either for one person or for many. They added up in cost of energy, time, and duplicity and forms seldom put into 90 per cent of the membership what was not there before. Ten per cent of all members of fraternal societies must carry on all of the most important duties and responsibilities, and in most cases at great sacrifices, and then under fire. Colored, men and women must first meet and offer both in religion and office organizations, before many, other generations if their institutions are expected to live as Negro institutions. There is a tendency towards instability in every class of organization, especially during the past twenty years, more so because very few will stand true business methods as a test. And, too, the cost from every angle runs far beyond market value of The cost of high-powered sermons in small churches forever keeps congregations in a cut and poor, thus leading perfectly good Christians into "wrong-doing" for the "Gauze" sake to make both ends The city authorities should relieve the present situation in Harlem by the addition of more traffic signals and the stationing of additional traffic officers to enforce obedience to traffic rules. of their budget systems meet. Perfectly honest leaders of grand and local lodges are forced to push such schemes over at a small cost additionally to the membership to cover some 'uncovered' tophole where something happened that had not been thought of until it was too late. Figures show that every member of lodges represents just about four memberships in like institutions, and seldom do any of the institutions get the best of any member at all times. And for church membership there is practically less than 1 percent real anything denominationality. Everyone has been aided at some station in life through one source or another by every of the many denominations. In school, college, hospital, trade, business or when hungry and in need; therefore, we are all tied to them all for good reasons. Associations in most cases place each of us in one group or another. Then, if we would really stop just for a moment and think of what the whole thing is about, it does seem that out of all of our lodges could come one great benefactor with whom we maintain its present designation. What I mean is Masons, Odd Fellows, Pythians, Taborians, Ells, etc., with their women and children auxiliaries as they now exist, but a certain amount percentage of the regular dues should be put into one great fund with its headquarters located in the city where all death claims could be paid under government laws as insurance companies. For example, if the dues per month for any lodge is 75 cents per month, 50 cents could be paid to the home office, where all claims could be paid for sickness or death, and 25 cents take care of lodge's cents and expenses. Every secretary paid on a lodge membership/body lodge bills. From home office. Only one sick and death benefit to be paid and all alike for men, women, and children. This would permit people to belong to as many lodges as he or she desired but if death or sick designation placed in Mason, that would be the only lodge through which such claims could come and all other memberships would only cost the amount to be paid for the lodge we pay. If the full charge but we also the full charge would be made of, say, 75 cents, to be handled as stated in above paragraph. A congress of all direct heads of every society in America should have men and women of experience and business training during these enlightened days who could formulate plans for the proper guidance of a worthwhile institution for America that would not only give profitable employment to members of the race but put an end to the great struggle that is going on among them through reality. And to stop much speculation and waste in expensive annual grand lodge sessions and drainings on treasures and building programs where not needed. Many will think that this view is selfish at first, but if they will only think and reason the things spoken of fairly, and without prejudice, simply looking at the whole matter as a business, they will come to the same conclusions. I do not mean that the social side and the friendly touch should be removed, but I do say that much of that is already removed by poor business management of affairs of these things, but most of first place is heart no doubt can put one in them. The thing, most important is let's try to make our institutions stand for something 2000 years from today as well as today. And to do this there must be a starting point towards co-operation in both church and lodge or the tenth generation after we are gone will read of them only. ARTHUR L. HAYES 212 South 11th Street Tacoma, Washington. Predictions Realized Denouncing political murders as being as old as civilization, as proved by the assassination of Julius Caesar, the Chicago Bee said: That one of our number; Octavius C. Granady, attorney and political leader of the west side, was ruthlessly assassinated in cold blood, brings directly home to our group the horrors of base, corrupt political intrigues and gang rule. The incidents of this most dastard crime, that has aroused the consciences of independent citizens to the extent that they have supplanted the regular constituted officers of the law and launched an investigation on their own account to find and punish the assailants, have been published to the civilized world and need not be included in these comments. Not even during the hey-day of the 'Ku Klux Klan reign in the south, during the post civil war days, has any act of this kind been perpetrated anywhere in this country to deny an American his right to participate freely in political affairs, in equal in gravity this Granady murder. It has brought into play practices of old that should not be allowed to persist in this community, regardless of whom the victims might be. In order to eradicate this growing evil all good citizens, regardless of race, or parties, should enlist in support of the forces honestly striving to rectify this growing menace to the people, political rights of the people, all of the time, in any section of Chicago without molestation or hindrance. It was urged that the practical support of the whole community be given to the Chicago Bar Association, in order to see that justice should be done in this matter. Pointing to the May number of the *Corollina Magazine*, a student publication, with the entire number given over to *Negro poets* and writers, as an act of *inferable service* to the cause of *interracial harmony*, "the Norfolk Journal and Guide" said: Perhaps no institution in America has explored more persistently and deeply into Negro life than the faculty and students of the University of North Carolina, and nobody has given more impetus to the general spread of unbiased knowledge of the race than has this institution. The University of North Carolina Press, placed in circular central volumes dealing with Negro life, and each one of these stands high as a scientific treatise bartering to neither prejudice or sentimentality. These volumes have done much to focus further study into this once neglected element of our national life, of which $1g$ growing a more lifeful population, has awarded the race and a higher appreciation of its contribution to the sum total of human endeavor. If it is possible to point out the line along which the Negro race has made its greatest progress in the past twenty-five years, it is in the direction of changed attitude of the influential section of the national press toward the race. Not before in the history of the Negro in America has there been as much written and read on the race as is in evidence today, and there is no stronger urgency for more harmonious interracial relationships than this fact. This changed attitude of the press has brought about a wider appreciation of the possibilities of the race and contributed to raise its status as a factor in the community. In an editorial insisting upon "The Responsibility of Voting," the Indianapolis Recorder said. The American citizen with his right of suffrage has a power or To date I have not sent in my congratulations for the crowning success that was your in November, but I presume you know if I was with you in the fight. I am also with you after it is over and victory is yours. I told you and Harlem that a man would be in the office as Alderman for the 19th District if you were elected, and that Harlem will give premium service and know the truth, and all who is honest enough to tell the truth will say these predictions have come to pass even in the short time you have been filling your honored office. Mav the blessings and guidance of Him who alone is Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent be ever yours. Sir John Simon president of the Royal Commission that has been thrust upon India, has spoken that he was busy collecting evidences and that at all places he was welcome. it would not he considered of it to mention that in Mirabai Presidency the criminal tribes were let loose to show of India's co-operation towards this Commission. In Lahore, i.e. Punjab, the police were spontaneous in giving ovation, while those of the non-cooperators who carried blackhats were mercenary, in this, especially the police, and were selected by the police. What may the anterior motive of the police terrorism, it was evident that they could not see the growing power of the country to do nothing with this commission. Mardy John, M. P., who was here some time ago, said to have said at a London meeting that the Lailor Party withdrew, from this imperialist policy the better. This shows how far Ijua has suc- responsibility not to be found in an nation or time. All this particularly applies to Negro citizens, who have the opportunity to vote and fail to do so, have the opportunity in behalf of their interests or rights in governmental affairs. Every now and then Negro people elsewhere, wail in tears of by-persisy over the fact that Negro do not vote in various southern states. Most of these same Negro people do not use their vote to protect or promote their best interest in government. And probably one point, who have the opportunity to vote fail to exercise this right and obligation. If every citizen in the land use his right to vote discreetly, we would have good government administration by sound and sane officials. When only two or three citizens in three or four are interested enough in politics to "follow through," we cannot have the best in government administration. We can or will have good government administration when a majority of the possible voters join in and "follow through." The obligation of every citizen to exercise or be right of suffrage discreetly, essential to the well-being and continuity of government by the people and for the people. The best and only way to preserve a right is by exercising it at the proper time and place. The responsibility of voting must be met and fulfilled in the same manner as any other obligation. Slackness in voting leads to slackness in government. Referring to the great stir made a few months ago, when it was announced that the churches had not membership, the Star of Zion said: The loss was more in appearance than in fact. Some denominations have not kept up, but the Christian Church, as a whole, has gained membership in America. Only the Presbyterians and the Friends have not gained. The compilation by Dr. H. K Carroll, veteran and rehabilitated statistician as published in the Christian Herald, shows a gain in church membership of 572,000. The gain among the Catholics, who lead gains, was 183,899, the sixteen bodies of Methodists following with 150,910. There are twenty different varieties of Lutherans and their gain was 67,879. Other gains were it following order: disciples of Christ Baptists; order Dr. James Oriental Catholics, Mennonites, Reformed; Brethren or Drunkards, United Brethren, and Adventists. There were 235,991 church in 1927, which is fourteen hundred less than in 1926. As a result of unions or consolidation fifteen hundred ministers have been put out of business. Exception may be taken to this statement by the denomination placed under the head of "Brethren or Drunkards" Possibly an ultra-duty Supremacy," the St. Luke Herald in Dunkards. Quoting the Richmond *Tunts-Dispatch* on the subject of "Nordie Supremey," the *St. Luke Herald* maintained that "the traditional nonsense gets a knockout blow." It continued: Immigration restriction in this country involves an economic problem of which the biologist knows very little, but his views on the mingling of certain Caucasian racial strains will hardly bring him into ill repute in the melting pot of nations. No Nordic can erase fractions of time from the Vinci, Galileo, Michael, Angelo, Dante and a host of their brothers. Neither can they float a nation which produced contemporaneously a Tolatoi and a Dostovsky. Can these fled spirits be suffering obnessness at the hands of Nordie shades? After all the passing years of propaganda and superiority robbing at the mouth, intelligent white people are coming around to the colored people's views on matters of merit and achievement. The Negroes of America, in spite of all the odds against them, have never swallowed down the done of their inferiority of any race on earth. Mister Haldane, the scientist quoted, even suggests that the crossing of breeds helps the two older groups. It may be that, after the amalgamated Negro race is a higher and better road than that white brothers. When a Southern white editor gets to questioning the doctrine of Nordic supremacy, the advancing South appears to be on the way. Commenting on the fact that the Negroes of that city had no part in the Durham exposition for 1928, the Carolina Times of Durham, N.C. said: Durham is noted for its large Negro business enterprises that contribute to the fame that the city has achieved, and at it too bad that none of these institutions were invited to take part in an exposition that was held to boost our city. We are proud of Durham, and we are proud of the big business enterprises that are located as well as built in Durham, as both pride would have been boosted had the Negro had opportunity to see and know the tremendous contribution the Negro of this city are making to make Durham a bigger and better community. The Tince edition hopes that the race will have a share in advertising the city in the next exposition.

Refuge Church of Christ Sunday was a great day at Refuge Church. The pastor filled the pul- put at both services. In the morning he preached for Philippa's 2.5, with 1st Corinthians 2:16. "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus: "For who hath known the mind of Christ, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ." The two scriptures coincide and offges unto us a challenge to the highest privilege of a christian life, "the mind of Christ." There is a natural desire and insinc in the human family to worship, but what is needed is, for that along with the emotions, to be harnessed and directed in the proper channel or course to be accepted of God, for the only worship that is satisfying to the soul and will profit a man is to worship God; No man uninspired by God's Spirit can worship Him acceptably, or know the things of His mind. These things are only revealed to those in-touch with the Spirit and truth of Jesus Christ. The text says, "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." It is not impossible. He is altogether sufficient to work this in us. His Spirit. The higher the ideal, the better it is for us, that we may 'look away from the flesh and transitory things' of this world, and get a glimpse of the Christ, our perfect ideal. This text speaks out, exhibiting the christian altruistic mind as his true heart. In the older Jesus Christ. And that the apostle further says, "we have the mind of Christ." To have this misperception of truth on our way, and know by the word of God that someone has reached it and was able to say, "we have the mind of Christ, 'I need inviting and a challenge to every true heart to face the battles of life with courage, and seek the salvation' I find the secret of the salvation is not to make life for men, as much as to make life for women more humble and cheerful to face the life of Jesus. The mind of Christ is given us in His word and to Jesus His mind and continue to hold in our vision His life we are drawn from glory to glory. He is one ideal of the head of the church, who we call holy, who gives love. For this purpose He must show us how much He loves us and to what length He must give the mission mind at the heart of Himself. He said, "I am the man who was and is, and is to be toward Him, determines to have His mind, then that one must be born by His Spirit, and be man for 'if any man he is a new creature', and by His Spirit which gives personal protective, a mind for the right motive. Not the things of this world, but also Christ Christ becomes Lord by His life, and you are elevated to His life to that mind of Christ to sacrifice and suffering for the sake of others. Leo of others Christ was also in Christ "But we have the mind of Christ." St Martin's Chanal On Sunday, May 6, Rev. John H. Johnson, preached at the eleven daily service, stressing the duty of the congregation to the church, and the work to be done if St. Martin's is to take her, rightful place. among the forward going churches of Harlem. At the 4:30 service the Phi Delta Kappa Sorority wished with us and Rev. Johnson chose as his subject "Religious Education." This part of our education does not receive the same attention as the physical or mental part, yet is really more important in order to get the best results from a full and active life. The church is continuing to grow, also the church school, which meets at 1 o'clock on Sunday and Fridays. The total amount of money raised from February 19 to April 29 is $1,652.71. On Sunday, May 13, we will have our first service in the church proper, at 3 p. m. entrance on 122nd street, at which time the Right Rev. William T. Maining, bishop of the diocese, will officiate. All are cordially invited. We are expecting a large crowd at this service and hope to see you. We are also a large part of our congregation. The choir is giving a reception on Friday, May 11, at 8 p. m. to which the public is invited. St. James Pres. Church The regular Sunday service was well attended by a large crowd at both morning and evening services. At the morning services the pastor gave a brief survey of the life of Henry Highland Garnett, as the subject of the children's sermon. The brief sketch of the life of this devout Christian, as presented by the man, was enjoyed by all present, especially the children of the city of the church which now bears his saint name. The main theme of the morning continued on the subject of wooing from Deism 51-17. Special emphasis was laid on the necessity of confession and acknowledgment of our woes, before God and confiding our trust in Him. Just before the offering of the morning Miss Lororeta Phillips the infant member of Me and Mr. Atkinson attended the Mass. At the guest service the Holy Communion was administered and now members were fellowwhined into the church. On Sunday May 13 at 6:00 p.m. the Henry H. Garratt Society will present a Mother's Day program at St. James. Mount Olivet Baptist Church As if in appreciation of the beautiful day Sunday, May 6, there was a large attendance at the services at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. At the morning service the congregation Rc RW Hayes, the pastor, looking so well after his illness, and able to fill his place in the p lift. There was a bass solo excellently rendered by Mf'. Fox, after which the pastor in thing from Hebrew 12:27; subject to "Things Transient and Things, Permanent." The theme of his discourse was that at the present time, everything is being shaken, torn apart and analyzed. In this inquisitive age, there are ecclesiastical giants in great contests and the educated are all combined in shaking to pieces theories which man has built up throughout the ages. That man, earth and civilization are all subject change. Yet any ideas at an outset, there are three things that do not change: God, Christ and true faith He. also, spoke of that "intangible something" in it, giving moral quality to all our actions, as being immortal and which will also stand. The transient things shall pass away, but the fundamental worth-while Jings shall stand the test. The whole discourse was touching, encouraging and powerful. There was a solo by Miss Bernerdene Mason, pupil of Prof. Wilson Lamb, accompanied by Prof. L. F. Dewey, and the two Bible-classes met at 1:30 p.m. and were well attended. At 3 o'clock, the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity presented their ninth annual educational program, under the slogan "Go-to-High-School, Go-to-College, Presiding officers, Attorney Myles A. Paige, N. Y. state director and president of Alpha GammaLambda Chapter. After the meeting, photographs were taken of the fraternity. If a P.M. meeting was held, losing memory of three expostors who are all dead. During the fifty years existence of the church, there have been only four pastors. The first pastor and founder was the late Rev. D. W. Wisher, who was pastor for 2115 years. Deacon Wesley Norm, who has been a member of this church for 40 years, spoke in glowing terms and eloquent manner of the virtue of Dr. Wisher, some of whom were from the University and tenacity. A quartet from Dr. Wisher's church in Summit, N. J., sang three Spirituals, which were excellently revered and enjoyed by all. Dennis Grice, who was a trustee during the pastorate of Rev. C. T. Walker, made an excellent speech in which he said no one can ever fill the place of C. T. Walker, and as he eloquently repeated parts of Dr. Walker's sermons, his discourse could be chased as a sermon itself. Everyone enjoyed it. There was a letter of appreciation from the Talferncra Baptist Church, once pastored by Dr. Walker, now under the pastorate of Dr. T. F. Thomas. Mrs. Richetta G. Wallace, our lady trustee, gave a synopsis of the virtues of Dr. Matthew W. Gilbert, who was a scholar and educator. She told of his character as being not only a loving father and tender husband at home. This speech was excellently rendered. The pastor expressed his regret that the news concerning the recent death of Mrs. C. T. Walker and WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH Mrs. Gilbert, widows of the ex-pastors, came too late to include them in the memorial, services. There was an eloquent speech made by Mrs. J. Hubbard Adams in loving memory of Mrs. Caroline Hayes, the late wife of our pastor. She spoke of her work and influence, with the people, and not only visiting therosperous, but the poor and lowly. The choir sang her favorite song, "Jerusalem the Golden." The Pastor's Aid Society and the Deacon Sisters presented Mrs. Wisher, the only surviving widow of an ex-pastor, with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. There was also a donation to her. This was followed by a bass solo by Mr. Fox. But not least was, a real treat. The Silver Leaf Quartet of Norfolk, Va., gave three Spirituals; which were so highly enjoyed, that no one wanted them to stop. Especially captivating was the number, "He Brought Joy to My Soul." The choir under Prof. L. F. Dyer is an excellent music throughout the day. Seven people joined. Total collections $60.10. P. Hopking is seriously ill with pneumonia at the Edgecombe Sanitarium. Paradise Baptist Church We had wonderful attendances at all services Sunday, May 6. Our Sunday school is making rapid progress. During morning service we listened to a very interesting service pounded by our pastor, R. H. Stanley. His subject was "White-wash" drawn from Genesis 3:7.

Time is passing so rapidly, that they realize the importance of prompt action in maturation, grazing, however, to show that the building is going up day by day, and the owners of the church have decided to hold a corner stone service on the first Sunday in June. Kev W. A. Cullen, pastor of Satem E. E. E. E., has kindly consented to have the church Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, has consented to presach the sermon, Dr. W. W. Brown, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, has consented to pray the prayer, and during the presach the pastor purpose to get in touch with the other pastor of the other pastor of the city, and thus assure a successful meeting. The B. Y. P. U. was of more than ordinary interest last Wednesday night, when Mass Julia A. Booker got up the program, Space will not permit to mention the participants, but, suffice it to say that it was the best meeting of the year, both from the F. attendance and the program itself. Friday night it did one's heart good to be in the prayer meeting. The people now realize, as never before, the necessity of getting out from that section of the city, and they are praying earnestly, to God for success in their effort. Sunday morning the Praying Band was out, and warmed the auditorium for the regular services that followed. The pastor and choir were on hand, and both rendered good service to the Sunday school is looking forward to pageing, namely, the Children's Day page and their own part in the rally which takes place the last Sunday in June. The evening service, while not as largely attended as, at some times, was full of interest. The pastor spoke at length about the progress the "church is making, and the people were full of joy. Union Baptist Church The Sinday school at 9 a. m. was in charge of the assistant superintendent, Mrs. Mary Rovic. The attendance was large. 1 a. m. the chair, directed by Pel. L. Adger, rendered excellent service in the school, delivered by Pastor Sims. Subject "The Ability of God to Deliver" Mme. S. E. A. Hicks, the vangelistic singer from Pittsburg, sang. Seven persons joined the church, Our choir was with the Mother A. M. E. Zion choir in a joint service at 4 p. m. The juniors had an excellent program in the B. Y. P. classroom. The students of the Miss Ariel Sims had charge of the discussion of the topic. The service was very interesting. At 8 p. m., the G. H. Sims Council, No. 146 I. O. of St. Luke, had their second annual thanksgiving sermon "Mrs. Bertha Withey was mistress of ceremonies. The welcome address was delivered by Rev. James Moore, pastor by Deacon C. M. Hickey, historian by Deacon I. R. Overy, Solo by Miss Edith Sims, Passor Sims preached. Subject "Sending Out The Light." There were several presentations made. Offering amounted to $391.96. Bethel A. M. E. Church Due to the absence of the pastor, Dr. A. C. Sanders, the pulpit is being filled with visiting ministers from time to time. Dr. Sanders is attaining the general conference in Chicago; also I. St. Clair Edward, arts. branches I. Freiburg and Ams. branches I. Freiburg. The new S. V. crafted preach last Sunday morning from the subject, Angus. "A large congregation was present and communion was summoned to an. During the afternoon the Sunday school inner direction of Clarence C. Kanning, conducted memorial services. At the night session of the Amen C. L.

The dramatic sub-division is making elaborate preparations for the "Dream of Queen Esther" which will be given May 31. Many visitors were present last Sunday on their way through to the general conference. Grace Church of tiarlem On the first Sunday, in each month Grace Church celebrates the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Last Sunday this service was up to par. The sermon, songs and ritual were in keeping with the spirit of the memorial. Aside from the large number of features except the baptism of little Kosalind Faith Nelson, daughter of Alton K. and Thelma Nelson, Mrs. Franklin Pollitt is godmother. There were announcements of many important events that showed how much alive Grace Church is to the community. The month of May has had a community attraction every Sunday afternoon. The Boy Scouts life and drum corps, with flags massed paraded last Sunday afternoon. Troop 771, with another troop, joined with Troop 774 of Grace Church for this march. The Grace Church Bulletin is rendering an increasingly effective service, much heavier of value and cultivates interest in the mission work of the church. A visit to the night services of Grace Church will give one the impression of sadness, it seems that the minister will not attend the church are not alive to the possibilities of the evening service. The minister, brim full of optimism, declines to evacuate and goes ahead practically without the aid of officers in the church. In the two or three dozen who attend on ordinary occasions, I hear him announcement that he would not close the Church on Sunday night, if no one came but the sexton, organist and himself. To my mind this is to the minister's credit. Next Sunday is Mother's Day— three services. In the afternoon the Winter League or Urban League has a fine program. Seniorite Zoile Galve of Italy will sing at 11 a.m. Salem M. E. Church Dr. F. A.

The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered at the morning hour 'of worship at Soilaom, error to this service Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor, taking his text from Isaiah 50:4, spoke on the religion of Christ as being to the weary, discouraged, tired people, the work of Christ in a large george unit, the religion of Christ makes for regeneration and redemption.

But satisfactory and encouraging as this is, it is but a imperfectation. We are not making a concert and annual turning out of two or three hundred young men and women for lives useful to themselves and their families is of course a most important and useful purpose.

He gave several definitions of his subject, covered beautifully with striking illustrations which were familiar to his hearses. The climax of spirituals power and expectancy, however, came at the evening hour. Dr. Thompson's subject for this service was "Peter's Denial of Christ." With fine put- pil style and scholarly manner the preacher gave the canon deign, its effect upon Peter's ciates and the popular rhetorical flights of logic and son, he unfolded the great creation of the apostle and which Christ afterward made Peter's splendid ability as a teacher and leader.

February, May 14, 1928 What looks to be the best team of Cuban Stars that Alexander Peeper has brought to these shows in many years, made their first New York appearance at the Catholic Oval Sunday, May 6, and defeated a strong Lincoln Giant team in a double header. The largest crowd of the season was on hand to welcome the Cubans and they more than lived up to the expectations of the fans. They won the first game by a score of 13-8 and the other contest 9-4. Alphonso, the diminutive short man, was the star of both games. In the first he made four hits and four runs in four times at bat and this included a home run, and a double. In the other contest, he moved the game for his team when he made a bare-handed stop of Seales' liner during the 8th innings. Seals shared honors with Alphonso in this game by holding the Lincoln Giants to six scattered hit. Wintert and Oscar were the opening pitchers of the opening game. Philadelphia sent a bit of form and skill behind the visitors. However, he tried to make up with the willow what his good pitching arm lacked, so he made a home run and a triple in three times at bat. Other home runs were made by Perez, Alphonso, Carr and Riggins. The attraction for Sunday, May 11, is Protectory Oval will be the Hallede Club, which now has Osas Gians as former stars from the Harris-bore Giants in the lineup along with the old favorites.

HAYNE, President EVERETT TURNER, Reception Chairman In the Realm of Sport and the Theatre Tuskegee Wins 2-Mile Relay Championship Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—With ideal weather conditions and a track that seemed to contain steel springs, relay records fell here Saturday, May 5, in the annual Tuskegee relay carnival. Tuskegee won the first leg on the massive Liberty Life Insurance Company trophy. This beautiful challenge trophy must be won three times in order to secure permanent possession. The race for this cup, the national two mile relay championship of America, saw a great struggle between Morehouse, Tuskegee and Talladega. It was mainly won through the running of Grant, the Tuskegee lead off man, who turned in a lead of 20 yards to T. Harris. Hampton's great quartet of sprinters won the sprint medley relay for the A. G. Dobins trophy and won the first leg on the John H. Webb trophy in the one mile relay. The sprint medley was run in two sections, comparative time deciding the winners. Tuskegee was a close second with Claffin third. In the mile relay, Tuskegee forced Hampton to break the relay record. It was mainly through the great anchor quarter turned in by Captain Baldwin of the Hampton team that pushed the Blue and White out in front. Baldwin was clocked unofficially in 50 flat. Tuskegee carried off the half mile College Relay Championship of America with Atlanta University second and Fort Valley Normal third. This was run in two heats, the Tigers taking the first in 1:37.4 seconds and Atlanta University taking the second in 1:38.4 seconds. Tuskegee won the quarter mile College relay with Atlanta University second and Cleflin third. This was also run in heats. Tuskegee won the first heat in 45.3 sec. Clark University finished first in the second heat but was disqualified for passing the baton on foul territory. The four mile College Relay Championship for the Wallis L. Peek Trophy went to Tuskegee. The team composed of C. Wylie F. Wylie, Herron and Hanna finished a lap and a half ahead of the field. James Boss brought a great half mile team to the relays from Howard Academy, Ocola, Florida and stepped away with the High School half. mile relay after a great struggle all the way with Paine High School. It was mainly through the running of Washington, and/or man that Ocola won. Voorhees took the lead in the Medley High School relay and was never headed, winning the event handily. Voorhees also made a runaway out of the Two Mite High School relay, Jenking went into the lead and Bailey, Gondock and Robinson continued to pull away from the field. Collins of Fort Valley Normal, last year's winner of the 100 yd dash again won this event from a classy field. In winning he set a new record of 9.8 sec. Lewis of State Normal was second and Robinson of Wilberforce was third. Robinson and Moore of Wilberforce were delayed and did not reach Tuskegee until noon the day of the relays. They were not in the best of condition being travel, weary. Roberts of Clark won the broad jump with a leap of 21 ft. 714 in, a new record. Tadlock of Tuskegee won the Discus throw with a heave of 114 ft. 55 inches, a new record. Hall of State Normal heaved the Javelin 143 ft. 10 in, to win first place. Randolph of Tuskegee leaped the high hurdles, in the good time of 17½ sec, with E. Baker of Clark second and Simmons of Talladega third. F.

ALHAMBRA THEATRE MANAGEMENT DESERVES MUCH CREDIT FOR PUTTING HOUSE OVER THROUGH LIBERAL POLICY By William E. Clark I doff my hat to the management of the Alhambra Theatre for the success they have made of this house. When The Alhambra was taken over by the present management last fall, many wise theatrical heads predicted another failure. But the adoption of a liberal policy toward both the public and performer was the beginning of a success that has been the marvel of the neighborhood. Evidently the present management of The Alhambra believes in entertaining without frills. But fortunately, for them, a production manager was secured to pick natural performers. The shows at this theatre are sometimes so informal that they seem more like a dress rehearsal. But the performers put so much pep in their work and seem to have so much spontanity their enthusiasm becomes contagious. The comedians seem to improvise their lines as they go along but this too adds to the entertainment value of the show. The motion pictures that go with the revue, except for the news reel which is always the latest out, are not feature pictures in the ordinary sense of the word. That is, they are not usually pictures featuring some great star or that have had a long run on Broadway. A Hal Roach ("With Our Gang") comedy, a Pathe Review or some other short educational film, and a westerner usually make up the film fare. At first the same company played, varying the theme of the revue from week to week. But as the number of Alhambra fans increased, the management began offering innovations and special features. One of the special features has been a dramatic sketch of one act. Sometimes these sketches are good and sometimes they are bad, but the acting is always commendable. Both the sketch and acting were good last week. The Alhambra has as large a seating capacity as any Harlem theatre but it is now filled to capacity almost every evening. Credit for this following which was secured only last fall is due first to the use and managing director, Milton Godorf, who had the courage to turn the house over entirely to colored employees and to cater to the colored patronage—something no other theatre in the neighborhood of 125th street has yet done. Then a lot is due to the dancing chorus, led by Amanda Randolph, which has been at The Alhambra since the theatre reopened. This chorus has elicited peanuts of praise from many members of the professions and from metropolitan critics generally. The band, under direction of William Hayes, is also a big asset. They too, have been her for the whole season. Finally; I think credit is due the production manager, Boh Martini, whose experience and dramatic sense has enabled him to select some current happening or fad and build a show around it that compares favorably with more elaborate and expensive revues of Harlem and Broadway. I too, have become an Alhambra fan. Talladega College Holds Track Meet Talladega, Ala.—Andrews Hall won its second leg of the Draper and Maynard Cup at Talladega's annual inter-hall track and field meet last week. Simmons, stalwart football tackle, showed himself decaption material in winning first four and four second places. Webber of Andrews Hall was runner up for high points winning 2 firsts, second and thirds. Andrews stepped off in the lead when Webber and Simmons took first and second in the javelin and retained the lead until the final tug of war. The results were quite an improvement over last year due to increased interest in track and partially to the change in date from February to April, although a stiff northern gate faced the runners. The meet served as a final try out for the Tuskegee Relays. Several good prospects were revealed, although stiff winds checked breaking course records. Simmons could do no better than 97 ft. in the discus throw although he has been tossing 126 in practice. Simmons took the high jump at 5 ft. & the high hurdles and the modified steeplechase. Williams and Garrison of Seymour took first in the pole vault and broad jump respectively, for Seymour's only firsts in individual events. Pearson's 100 yd. dash and low hurdles were Stone's only firsts. "The prizes were donated by business men of the city." Eagar Connors Trio, with Clyde Parks, Mille Collins and Edgar Connors, played the Park Theatre, Reading, Pa. May 7-8-9. The Globe Theatre in Bethlehem, Pa. May 10, 11, 12, and Loews Lincoln Theatre, May 14. Edited by WILLIAM E. CLARK $4,646.26 Realized From Florence Mills Benefit In Chicago Last Week Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, the highest paid. Negro actor on the Keith-Albee Vaudeville Circuit, reports the net proceeds of the midnight benefit performance for the Florence Mills Memorial Fumo at the Regal Theatre, Chicago on Thursday, May 3, as $4,645.26. A check for this amount was owed by Mr. Robinson from Chicago and personally handed to Jesse A. Shipp, head of the fund on Monday. This benefit netted the largest amount of any single effort made so far by this organization. Mr. Robinson left Monday for Washington, D. C., where he is assisting Bob Slater and local talent in a similar benefit at the Howard Theatre on Tuesday midnight, May 8. Paul Robeson Scores Personal Triumph In London "Show Boat" London, May 3—"Show, Boat" had its London premiere at Drury Lane Theatre to-night and won golden opinions from the critics, who predicted, with an approach to unanimity, that it will be a worthy successor to the popularity of "Rose Marie" and "The Desert Song". There was some opinion, however that the show needed cutting and filling together. Paul Robeson won a personal triumph. The audience was enthusiastic about his "Old Man River". Edith Day as the heroine, and Cedric Hardywicke as Capt. Andy, were well liked. The production was lavished. Creole Revels Scores Hit at the Lafayette The announced intention of Mr. Bert Jones, owner of Creole Revels, to present this latest musical comedy on Broadway in the near future, received a substantial impetus by the reception which Creole Revels received at the Lafayette Theatre at the opening maritime Monday. Despite the mild weather, a capacity crowd attended the opening performance and from the rising of the curtain to the big finale, there was a succession of applause and laughter. Some of the best known talent in the cast has been assembled for this production, as well as one of the finest stage bands in existence. The cast includes Edith 'Wilson, Roscoe Montella, the Hightower Trio, Gant and Perkins, Lena Wilson, and William Russell. Both as a comedian and as a singer, Miss Wilson's performance was greater than any we have ever witnessed. Roscoe Montella received an ovation when he came upon the stage. This was doubtless prompted by the memory of his work in "Rang Tanig", Montella, "Skeets" William Russell and the Wilson Sisters participated in a series of comedy scenes which are by far the finest presented on a local stage in years. The chorus, gave an exceptionally good account of itself. Beautifully costumed, they went through several drills and dances which brought storms of applause. Leonard Ruffin, co-producer of Cotton Club Revues, trained these girls. The music both from the "pit" and on the stage was rendered by Sam Wooding's Band. This band ranks with the greatest in the country, and their musical accompaniment helped make Creole Revels one of the finest musical comedies presented in Harlem in months. This week's show at the Lafayette certainly looks as if it is destined for a long stay on Broadway. The feature photoplay for the week is "Czar Ivan the Terrible"—a gripping drama revolving around the reign of one of Russia's cruelest Czars. This picture comes directly from a long run on Broadway. While of an entirely, different theme, the audience seemed to like it fully as well as they did the "Jazz Singer" last week. "A Girl in Every Port." The name itself should be enough to explain this unusual yarn about the first mate of a tramp scooner. This tale of the seas opened at the Roosevelt Theatre, for a limited run of 3 days starting Saturday. "A Girl in-Every Port," is one of the most unique and, at the same time, one of the most thrilling pictures of the seas ever screened. Victor McLaglen, the Captain Flagg of "What Price Glory," is "Love Me and The World Is Mine" Coming To The Douglas Theatre The film combination of Norman Kerry and Mary Philbin is together again for the third time in a Universal production. The picture is "Love Me and the World Is Mine," the first American picture to be made by E. A. Dupont, the noted UFA director, and it will be the feature attraction here at the Douglas theatre. Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Some four years ago, Mary Philthen virtually an unknown player, who had earned a trip to Hollywood by winning a beauty contest in Chicago, was chosen to play the lead in "Merry-Go-Round." It was a daring thing for Universal to do, to place responsibility for a featured role in a million dollar production in a girl who had almost no screen experience. featured as "Spike Madden," the mate, Supporting hint are Robert Armstrong, the pugilist in the stage play of "Is Zat So" and eight of the most popular, beautiful and talented of the younger motion picture actresses who are featured players. The story deals with the romantic adventures of a burly first mate in the various ports of the world which his ship touches. It takes the audience through the twisted streets and the queer cafes haunted by the sailors when they go ashore, in ports of call. In each port there is a girl whose name is carefully noted in "Spike Madden" book. Howard Hawks, who has several original productions to his credit, directed the production for Fox Films.

This venture is not of adventures in several respects. But want, let us relate the premises. As reported, Mr. Maison is the contractor of three women promised to play a new contract which calls for the ladies' orchestra to play dances from town to town going west. The company will travel at all times in three touring cars, to one of which a attached, a trailer this trailer will accommodate only one truck, the instruments of the orchestra and hand baggage. An advance agent is reported engaged to secure proper sleeping arrangements for all the ladies are car will be members of Local 692 before the start of this tour is made. The numbers of the orchestra are Mabel, Richardson, drums; Delia Sutton, trombone; Elizabeth Lavaux and Hilda Mangaut, trumpets; Riley Jackson, saxophones; Alberta Diga, pianist; Miss Smalla, banjo; May Bowes, comedy leader and dancer.

David I. Martin, 11, conductor of the orchestra of the Martin-Smith Music School, which gives its usual annual recital and dance on Friday, May 11, at Manhattan-Casino, deserves credit for the accomplished work of the student orchestra. Under the guidance of the general Mrs. Jennifer Titterman, the number of Local 802, the incorporated school of which she is president is maintaining the same standard established by the founder, her deceased husband, the late David I. Martin. We predict the same success for this concert as its twenty predecessors. Petty jealousy, envy and ignorance seems about to disrupt and perhaps cause five men to lose a good job which they have held for upwards of two years. Over in Jersey, Vic Joyner, banister, is leader of the job in question; with his is Pedro, Crummlah, Shaw and one Sala Smith, drummer. The proprietor seemed to like Beum Shaw, Vie as leader, it is alleged, frowned on the fondness of the boss for Shaw, Shaw and one Sala Smith, Joyner gave Shaw 2-weeks notice. Before, the organization of the jive, Shaw told Joyner the world "you are told, Joyner, Joyner had no Prof. George Carver and a few of his 165 Wonderful Peanut Products 21st Annual Recital & Dance MARTIN-SMITH MUSIC SCHOOL,-Inc. jection, but wanted to force Shaw to work his time out. Discussion about - the drummer, who is non-union, which of course, led to reference to Sergent-at-Arms Minton. Joyner blurted out Minton could not report him about his work, but had worked on a job with Minton a year ago, and on that job Tom Bethel, who was not and is not a union member, had played. On this point, Vic may be informed that a sergent-at-arms has privileges members do not enjoy. One act by him would be for the good of the cause. The same act by a member would penalize him a "good" foe. So any threat, Joyner would prevent Sergent-at-Arms Minton from fulfill the requirements of his office. But if the charge of - hiring the non-union drummer, Smith, were - against Vic, he would not be the one of his orchestra finned. The Henry Lincoln Lodge Band, Hurlbert Findlay, director, was heard in the streets Sunday evening, about forty strong. The hand sounded and played well, marking through 140th street, and redounds credit to its bandmaster. If John C. Smith has no striving rival for the open dance work field, Lictin, Fred W.

DBP THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES Pullman Employment Bureau Says Colored Men of Standing Careless As Endorsers Are Negro men of the business and professional world acupuntually careful about giving references to members of the race who are seeking work? Do these race referees put integrity above racial sentiment, when members of the race go to them for employment reference? Do they follow the upright business code, that the word of a man is that man's bond? W. C. Taylor, of the Pullman Employment, at 161st street and Morris avenue, the Bronx, says no to all these questions. According to this employment agent, professional men of the race have no scruples about giving references, regardless of whether or not they are acquainted with the antecedents of person or persons recommended. As investigator of references of all applicants for work as Pullman porters in the New York district, Mr. Taylor is in a position to speak with considerable experience on the subject. In fact, we know no man better qualified to give, impressions regarding endorsers of applicants for employment than these Pullman Employment agents. It was while in conversation recently with the New York district investigator on the employment subject that he related some of his experiences as an employment agent. But before coming to those experiences, a brief description of this agent might not be amiss. "Bill Taylor—to be informal—is one of those Pullman man who bears the appraisement among the porters, and even among some of his fellow-workers, of being strictly "a company's man," but it isn't a term that he resents. We imagine he likes it. If he doesn't, his attitude and actions in the interest of his employer are beyond analysis. But, we think, the observation is correct. Taylor's first thought is the interest of the Pullman Company. We do not mean to impy by this that he is unfair with those who come under his supervision or those whose references he is called upon to investigate. Still no applicant for employment in the Pullman service in this district need think he can enter this service by subterfuge or untruths. It has been his strict attention to business as a porter which earned him the job of porter-instructor. When the company established its Employment Bureau, he and F. Price, a former clerk, were put in charge of the New York bureau. For him, this was a promotion from a job to a position. The same thoroughness that characterized him in the job of porter-instructor marks his work in the position of employment agent. This habit of being thorough is frequently misunderstood. Many take it for an ego complex, which, on first acquaintance, might seem so; but after acquaintance, and a disposition to be fair, you will discover that the ego has been largely imaginary on your part. He is, however, inclined to be distant in the sense of associating; but that has no relation to his work. Although, we should like to see him, around socially occasionally, say, for instance, like Sam Freeman; for the employment than is a striking looking person. In physique, he is a perfect specimen of the well-groomed and well-preserved man. Oddly enough, he is a 'bachelor'. Why, the writer has never asked; for he is a man with whom you cannot take much liberty, unless it is along the lines of business. It was in this connection that the writer asked him recently in there were any foundation for the report that porters entering the service today were inferior in type to those of years back? In answer to the question, he said, no, there was no basis for any such assertion "That" said he, "his a weave of the imagination." He went on to say that that was one of the reasons for the company's establishment of employment bureaus in its various zones. Furthermore, that Pullman office records would show that there had been less complaints from passengers regarding service during the past two years than had ever been made before. Also, that the railroads had noted this and had complimented the company on the improvement. After all, records are the things that count in service—one cannot pay too much attention to every observation that might be made concerning the Pullman service and its 'porters,' he reminded the writer. "But," he continued, "if our department did not follow up every applicant's reference, as well as his antecedents, to see that he was the proper sort of person for the service, there would be ample grounds for this report, for we are constantly running up against cases in which applicants are proven, after investigation, not to be the type of man who are wanted as porters. And it is a peculiar thing, that most of those whom we have so found are applicants recommended by persons of the same race as the applicants. "For example, last week I called upon a well-known lawyer in Harlem to inquire about a man who bore a reference from the lawyer to anyone who wanted an honest and sober employee. I asked the lawyer did he personally know this man. Oh, casually, he allowed. "I did some legal business for him once; what is he seeking? I told him. "Oh said the attorney, with a depressing wave of his hand, "he is good enough for that." Now, here, a man who is supposed to have standing in his community, furthermore, should have realized the fact that an endorsement from him should be above question, yet he recommends a person, who I afterward learned, was a questionable character. "Only the week previous to that experience, we received an application at our office which had the endorsement of three colored men, and it was headed by a prominent Harlem physician, who was at one time a porter himself. After investigation, we found that the applicant would have been dangerous to have around even a Harlem cabaret, much less on a Pullman car where careless passengers are wont to lay their purses around. "I could go on reciting cases in which we have found that colored men are unreliable as sponsors for employment seekers. It is so frequently done that I am afraid we shall have to discontinue accepting applications and endorsed by colored men, notwithstanding that it was my suggestion that the references of Negro business and professional-men be honored the same as those coming from business and professional men of other races." The colored man is careless and unreliable as an endorser, if our experience is any criterion. "They seem to be ignorant of the fact that the same care, so far as honesty is concerned, is necessary in selecting porters for the Pullman service, as that used by the bank in selecting clerks for its service." Not Exactly The Column's Fault Mr. Mabel Fitts Taylor, formerly Mrs. Bristo Fitts, brings to the attention of the column a matter which she believes the column overlooked. The following letter explains her reason for thinking so: May 1, 1928 "My dear Mr. Hogans: I always read with great interest your articles on Pullman employees, but I was surprised to note that your column made no mention to the death of Mrs. Louise Wileman, a former Pullman maid, which occurred in Chicago on February 29th. I am sure it must have been an oversight not to have said one little thing about the passing of such a lovely character who was so highly esteemed among members of the Pullman fraternity. Apart from vocational connections, she was well known in Masonic circles, the same as Mr. Wileman, her husband, is today. Anything that you might say, as a tribute to her memory, would be appreciated even at this late day. Knowing your consistency, in mentioning the death of Pullman employees of long service, I am positive the failure in this case was an oversight on your part. With best wishes, I am, Singerely yours. The column wishes to thank Mrs. Taylor, for calling its attention to the matter, but in fairness to ourselves it must be explained that this was not a case of inadvertence with us. The fact is, the column did not know of Mrs. Wilenan's death, until brought to its attention by Mr. Wilenan. And while this "eulogy, may be like, it is none the less sinful. In making the trip West, which we all must make some day, the history of Louise Wilenan, noble wife, signecre friend and faithful companion, will ever remain a token to cherish by those who knew her and so the beauty of her character. M. Taylor soon perches, all of her friends may not know, is the lady, who is one of the most charming of her sex in the Fullman services, came into possession of her new marriage name on April 10th. She and husband were seen walking through the Grand Central Station on Tuesday afternoon of last week, and, to this reporter's mind, they certainly made a handsome couple. Mr. and Mr. Taylor reside at 19 Bolknap Avenue, Nepperhan Heights, Yonkers, N.Y. B. S. C. P. Officer Makes An Inquiry *Roy Lancaster' of The Brotherhood Of Sleeping Car Porters Wants To: Know Where The Editor of This Column Stands. *His letter on the subject follows: Dear Mr. Hogan: Reading some of your recent weekly contributions has impelled me to go back through our clipping book and ascertain just what your aude toward the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and its leader, after has been since its Foundation, has been through reading of each issue of your through book, which have commented upon the activities of this Organization, the conclusion is inescapable that your euismardis for the Movement where not compulsively by its absence is decidedly lukewarm. At first you advised this porters to be discreet. This was followed by a lightly veiled attempt to show that the Pullman Company enough profits to pay the increase that the porters must and that white men stood ready to take the porters' jobs. You then sneered at the support given the Brotherhood by other labor organizations and questioned the ability of the N. A. A. C. P. I. understand the conditions surrounding the porters work. I then note another of your ansent Mr. Randolph's honour and implication that a survey which announced was being made would be biased. There are veiled aspersions cast on the leaders of the Movement and sneers at the contention that the porters are underpaid. If you adopted the same cynical and sneering attitude toward the Pullman Company and the Employee: Representation Plan, I could, at least credit Randolph, as a writer writing for an about porters writing be; but such is not the case. In your column of March 24, 1928, you accuse the Brotherhood officials with not playing fair with the porters in connection with the strike vote, you admit later on that course, the decision, so it is annotated as up to the porters themselves." Certainly, if decisions are up to the porters themselves then the charge of not playing fair with them goes by the board, and your whole article becomes, waste, paper. A strike vote is not a strike, and you know it, still you are not honest enough to state the real purpose, and you know that you were a strike, you know full well that it would be the action of the porters and not of the Brotherhood officials. The Branch hums with activity. All through the winter months the business of work and play goes on in all departments, 'everything seems very busy but the worst is not yet! Along about the first of week the secretary begins to wear a franckie and it room increasingly difficult to get a room for anything. The are many rehearsals, many costumes to be made, plans to be worked out in detail for many things and all this activity sweeps on to a grand climax the season's program about last of the week. The school schedule, just as hectic in its way, begins. Things started with the Carnival of Spring on March 3rd; then came the Industrial. Revue at Central Branch on April 20th; next the Girl Reserve operations on May 25th; next the Children's Theatre of the Heckscher Foundation. The end will come on Friday evening, May 25th, in the auditorium of 'the Teachers' Training School at Convent' avenue and 135th street, when the dancing classes conducted the physical examination of the Branch. give the second annual recital of dances under the direction of their instructor, Miss Vivian Roberts. The Blue Dining Room has been the scene of many dinners lately. The annual Education Department banquet was a delightful affair held on April 27th. Despite a downpour of rain more than eighty attended, the cafeteria served to a large number on May 1st and another dinner of sixty given by E. A. Johnson on May 3rd in interest of Max Yergen's work in Africa. On Sundays we are not title! Tom Tippett of Brookwood Labor College made a fine talk on Workers' Education in our auditorium on Sunday, April 29th. At the same hour our general secretary, Mrs. Cecelia Cabanis Saunders was speaking at the Lecuon Community of the Harlem Leisure Day Adventist Church. On April 22nd Mrs. M. W. Williams, business and industrial secretary, spotted at the Astilbane Place Y.-W. C. A. in Brooklyn. The Y. W. C. A. of the city of New York held its annual meet- Then in your column of April 28, 1928, you try to resurrect the old bogey about the Company not dealing with outsiders when you know as well as you are alive that no one employed by the Pullman Company can properly and effectively lead and represent the porters and myself tried that and you know the result. Tom tried and you know the result. Others have tried it and you know the result. You take 'evident glee in announcing that the porters are getting nowhere and are hopelessly befuddled. Now if you can point out in an intelligent manner in what way the procedure taken by 'the Brotherhood has differed from that of any other labor organization in the his- tory labor movement. I wish you would do that, but going from Board to Board. In this the proper procedure or not? If it isn't, the porters must strike; if it is then the are correct, honest and sincere and you have labelled them. If the porters shouldn't carry their grievance through the proper machinery designated by the United States Government and shouldn't sake (which seems to sum up your point) that you should into the state in which you evidently prefer to see them but against which 8,000 have expressed themselves in revolt. Now, Mr. Hogans, for God's sake be honest, and sincere. Where do you stand? One must gather from the tone of your articles that amination of the porters and maids is anathema to you and that the Pullman Company's "Plan" is oak in your opinion and should be lovingly embraced. You have "inimited that time and again. Is this true? No, they would. We are the porters and maids have lacked organization to represent them and bargain for them? If not, why not be man enough to say so? If they should have an organization, then you are intelligent enough to know that it cannot be led by a porter in the employ of the Pullman Company. If they should have an organization, then the leaders of that organization are duty bound to the members to do everything in their power to advance the interest of most men. The brothers who failed to do this? What opportunity have they failed to grasp? What channel of relief have they failed to explore? Yours truly, ROY LANCASTER, Secretary-Treasurer. standing on Monday, April 30, in the beautiful New Club, 29th street. The program was a terrestrial, and varied in nature. There was a brief business meeting, music by members of the Studio Club. a sketch by members of the Central Club for Nurses, retirements and a social hour. Saunders and Miss E. V. Sarrae attended the conference of the Young, People's fellowship at St. Phillips Church on April 29. A large audience assembled in the Abyssinian Baptist Church on Thursday night, May 3, to listen to a discussion of companionate marriage and the eugenic baby. After a piano solo by Edward E. Steele, and a soprano solo by Miss Bertha Fulgham Bailey, Miss Esther Hayes turned the meeting over to Aaron Smith, president of the school who introduced Dr. Julia P. H. Colleman, a professor of the Federation of Women's Club, Dr. Coleman; after introductory remarks, called on Mrs. Glauc Wanamaker to recite "Hagar in the Wilderness," and then introduced Mrs. Alice Dumbar Nelson of Wilmington, Del., to speak on Delinquent Colored Girls" and said if their is machinery, chicened, to prevent delinquent colored girls getting into suitable homes, the shame is on the colored people of New York. Preventive measures are more powerful in the world than punishment. To take a girl of 15, who has not had proper home training and has learned her morals in the world, she her to eternal criminality is the worst thing that a State could do. Prof. Wm. H. Ferris, and J. Egbert Allen, a former student of Columbia University discussed computerization marriage. Dr. J. W. Murray, a former student of M. E. Church called for subscriptions and nearly $700 was subscribed for a home for delinquent colored girls. Dr. A. Claytön Powell said "It is drastic, how much false modesty we have the children. And because of this false modesty we are ignorant on the most vital mastress. A good, many girls who get in trouble are not so much sad and ignorant. And if she is ignorant it is often the fault of the parents, the teachers and the preachers. If an unmarried girl who gets into trouble in the motherhood state is a sinner, the man who brought her in. that state is a sinner. F. M. Kalsaron *sing* a solo, accompanied by Edward Steele.

I promised to give you some more information this week on camping. The new athletic field has been completed and has room enough for three basketball diamonds, tennis courts, basketball courts, trunk events and all other outdoor sports. can't tell you of all the "Big Doing" for 2028 but I'll put down a few. There will be the hard-hit hound chase, water carnival, treasure hunts, secret service, boxing, athletic tournament and numerous others. My! to read the list makes your hair stand up and your eyes bulge with excitement. Traops 770 and 773 had their annual banquet at Mother Zion Wednesday night. They had a regular feed, songs, yells and stories a-plenty. Everybody had a fine time that attended. But the best thing of the week was the broadcasting of the district Scouts at station WABC. This happened Friday evening, between 5:30-6:30. Troops 770 had its harmonica group, a violinist and a solo on the air. Troops 774 had its drum-and-bugle corp and Dixon, whistling, and the campfire was spoken of of the campfire season, Geel I but was exciting to be in a big broadcasting station. And, fellows, I learned a secret, I saw and heard the man who talks on the air about pure foods. I used to wonder now he could stand an hour and where he kept all of that information in his head. But he really did take it, Hat Hai! So-long, Scouts. H. R. George Explains About Oil Royalties In speaking of the oil royalty stock, which he is offering for public subscription, Mr. George of the H. R. George and Co., vice, investment bankers at 2298 Seventh avenue said: "An oil royalty represents a part or all of the price which oil operators pay a land owner for the right to drill or locate oil on his property. The standard royalty in the oil industry, unless otherwise specified, is one-eight of the entire production of the leased land, free, of cost. In other words, one out of every eight barrels of oil produced goes to the owner of the leased land. Original-birth oil owners with gave oil leases related their royalties. Now, however, farmers frequently dispose of a portion or all of their royalties. These transferred rights are assigned and recorded just the same as the deed to a piece of property. The marketability of oil royalties was crested through the practice of bankers in oil regions of extending credit to land owners on whose acreage oil was produced. The reasons that oil royalties are accepted by bankers as security for loans are that the royalty owner pays no part of the lease development or operating expenses, all of which are paid by what is colloquially termed the developer of the lease and that income of the royalty is net income without duplication of any kind except the gross production tax paid to the state." Harlem Groups Visit Riverdale Orphanage The Colored Orphan Asylum at Riverdale-on-Hudson had as their visitors on Saturday afternoon, Professor Vanderwah and his class in music from Columbia University, and a group headed by Dr. J. H. P. Coleman, composed of members of the N. Y. Charity Bureau, Inc., the Practical Nurses' Association, and the Federation of Women's Clubs. The afternoon was clear and warm, and the children were bright and happy as they marched to the chapel. There they gave a program largely of, Negro Spirituals and folk-songs, the boys glee club sings several of the numbers which they have featured over the radio in their bi-monthly programs, and which they have been well "appluded" in much so, that they have been specially invited to sing on Mother's Day on the same program with John Mormcirk. The visitors had a part on the program: Miss Dorothy Taylor rendered a piano seccion; Miss Pauline Williams recited; Little Miss Edith Smith danced, and Miss H. Tompkins sang Dett's "Dont Be Weary, Traveler, G. James College, commented on the fine singing she gave a highly interesting talk on "The Negro's Gifts," and Dr. Coleman gave encouraging remarks on the way of attaining success, touching briefly on the lives of outstanding personages of the race, who had, risen to distinction from lowly-depends, and who in spite of poverty and numerous other obstacles had excelled, in music, the arts, industry, and in their general eclectic talents, and in their welley. Dr. Vanderwalt and the students from Columbia University rendered several vocal and instrumental numbers, and taught the children a new comic song. Dr. Mason Pittman, superintendent of the institution, thanked the guests for their visit and their contributions to the program, and then the guests were carried on a tour of the grounds and, cottages, just before dusk, the party moved back to New York. the public generally the stock of a company which has an unbroken dividend record at the rate of 1% per month, including extra dividends which totaled 39% to date. 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 us on or before the 25th of the month, you will be entitled to the dividend that is to be declared and paid by the company on the 4th of the coming month.

A repetition of tardiness on your part to embrace a good investment opportunity we hope will be zealously guarded against, as this opportunity is one that we are sure you cannot possibly afford to ignore.
