Florida Grand Jury Makes Formal Report of Horrible and Atrocious Cruelties Practiced By Policemen Chief of Police at Miami With Several Of His Officers, Accused of Torturing and Mutilating Helpless Prisoners, Both White and Black, In Police Station Miami, Fla.—The complete grand jury report, submitted to the Court last week, disclosed horrible and atrocious cruelty on part of police officers here toward prisoners, white and black. Chief H. Leslie Quigg and five of his subordinates were indicted, but Quigg and three others have been tried and acquitted on a charge of killing a Negro prisoner more The grand jury report showed that the police have erected in the station a chair equipped for being electrically charged, and this chair has been used in torturing prisoners under investigation. The victims were placed in the chair and the police would suddenly turn on the current. Any effort to leave the chair would result in the prisoner being knocked back by blows from the police officers. Prisoners so tortured and treated have had to receive treatment from local physicians. 14-Year Old Boy Killed Another case of arrant and ruthless barbarity, marked the killing of Sogman Kemp, a 14-year old Negro boy, who: with other boys, was discovered in the act of piloting eggs from a railroad car in the railroad yards. When hailed by the officer the boys dropped their boot and fled. The officer deliberately fired, shooting this little boy through the back. Taken to the hospital, the boy, a caddy, employed by the Miami Beach Golf Club, told the doctor that the officer had kicked him while he was laying wounded on the ground Another witness told of hearing the officer say to the boy: "What did you run for? Didn't you think I would get you?" adding, "I have a d—— good mind to finish him now." This same officer is reported to have killed at least four persons since being on the force. Another Negro was reported by the police to have hung himself in his cell, but the undertaker reported that there were no signs of strangulation. At the same time, it was stated that a Negro had been beaten "merely by officers the night before, and it is believed this had some significant connection with the alleged self-hanging. 6 Police To Be Tried. A Negro accused of stealing an automobile was compelled to place his naked foot on a table and was beaten on the soles of his feet with a heavy copper-bound ruler for one and one-half hours by the police. An epileptic, a white man, charged with being drunk, was dragged through the jail suspended in the air by his heels, and unmercifully seated by officers. The grand jury investigation, which began in February, covered a period of three years. The chief police was tried for first degree charge, the charge of having killed a Negro more than two years ago, connection on a lesser degree charge being impossible because of the time change since the death was committed. Two other police-men are to be tried on murder charges, and another for second degree murder, the latter a recent killing.

V.-As the last act of the spring term of the Supreme Court, a writ of error and supersedes was granted to the plaintiff in the case of Anderson H. Brown and others against the Board of Education of the Charleston-independent school district, appealing from a decision of Judge Arthur P. Hudson, of the Circuit Court of Kanawha county. The case involves the use of the Charleston public library by Negro citizens. On March 29, Anderson H. Brown, E. L. Powell and W. W. Sanders filed a petition with the Circuit Court asking for an alternative wrip of mandamus to compel the Board of Education to admit them and other colored citizens to the use of the Charleston public library, the school board having passed a resolution, February 21, putting the Charleston public library to be used by white school children and white citizens only, and the Garnett library to be used by colored school children and colored citizens only. Say Lower Court Erred Judge Hudson of the Circuit Court, sustained the motion to quash its writ on the grounds that the Charleston public library was a part of the school system and was controlled by the special laws relating to the Charleston independent school district and not the general laws, "that the constitutional provision prohibiting white and Negroes from being taught in the same school and the general policy of separating white and Negro students in various institutions should be applied in this case, and the Board was justified in its action." The petitioners applied to the Supreme Court, for a writ of error and supersedes, alleging that the Court erred in sustaining the Board's motion to quash and demurre to the alternative writ of mandamus, and the Court's retusal to sustain the demurre of the petitioners. The writ of error and supersedes eas is returnable on the first Monday in June. The library fight is being made under the auspices of the Charleston branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and is represented by Attorney T. G. Nutter, its president, and Attorney C. E. Kumbrough. The attorneys express absolute confidence in winning the case. Atty..Van Lowe Wins Damage Suit From City Detroit, Mich.—Mrs. Corine J. Banks was riding in a street car owned by the City of Detroit on the 23rd day of June, 1920, when a collision occurred between the street car and an Ohio motorist. In the collision Mrs. Banks sustained certain injuries and she retained Atty. Van Lowe to represent her. He filed a claim with the city for damages and compensation for his client, but the city denied liability and offered little or nothing as settlement. The attorney refused the offer and instituted legal proceedings in the Circuit Court against the City of Detroit for adequate compensation and damages to his client. The case was called for trial on the 3rd day of May 1928, continuing for over two days. At the end of the two day's trial, the City of Detroit, through its counsel, invited Atty. Van Lowe to discontinue and settle the case. He accepted the offer and a settlement was effected whereby the city paid several thousand and dollars. Egyptian Minister Is "Color" Victim In Va.

BUTLER GIVES LOWDEN PRAISE AS BEST CHOICE Senator Wadsworth Is In Doubt About Hoover's Strength In N. Y. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, and a delegate to the Republican National Convention, issued a pro-Lowden statement Tuesday that was haled by state managers of the farm relief champion as significant of the existence of hidden Lowden support in Eastern delegations. "What Governor Lowden has said so emphatically as to the necessity, from the viewpoint of party success as well as from that of party principle, of preserving the balance between a prosperous agriculture and a prosperous industry with the strongest approval of myself and a host of our fellow Republicans in this part of the country," declared Dr. Butler. Statement Dictated at Hospital "To suppose that we can win the election without the hearty support of the agricultural vote of the strongly Republican states of the West and Northwest," he continued, "is an illusion of the first magnitude." Lowden managers called the statement a broadside against Herbert Hoover to prevent whose nomination the Republican state organization has been at great pains to keep its adherents uncommitted. Dr. Butler undersigned this plan. Dr. Butler dictated his statement at St. Luke's Hospital, where he is convalescing after an attack last week of acute indigestion. CamPaign Called "Disheartening." "We are approaching the close of the most disheartening pre-convention campaign within my memory," said the statement. "Despite the economic and political situation of the world and our own responses, all and most of them are invulnerable and inconstant domestic problems, there has been almost no discussion, indeed no reference, to any of them. "No candidate for the Republican nomination, with the exception of Governor Lowden, has ventured any statement whatever as to his position in regard to any of these vast problems so important to the prosperity to the honor and to the influence of the American people. Instead, we have had an exhibition through the press and the mails, of an application to politics of the most obnoxious development of modern business, to wit, salesmanship. "Friends of some of the candidates seem satisfied to put the Presidential nomination on the same plane as a patent medicine or a suburban real estate development. Support of West Called Vital. "The New York State delegation, with perhaps some twenty-one or twent-two exceptions, will go to Kansas City uncommitted but with minds open. "We wish to confer with our fellow representative Republicans and to agree upon a candidate who will be well educated in his head, who has intellectual competence for the office of President and who can be elected. Wadsworth Refers To New York With the issuance of Dr. Butler's statement, James W. Wadsworth, former United States Senator, and a delegate at large to the Republican convention, was declaring in an interview, according to "The Brooklyn Eagle," that "the principle question for New York delegates to have in mind when they vote for a candidate for President at Kansas City, is: Can he carry New York against Al Smith?" Senator Wadsworth is quoted as having said: "In my judgment it is questionable whether Herbert Hoover is the best man for the job he formerly held. Mr. Hoover this state of course. The propaganda has been for Hoover. But the sentiment of the man in the street is divided, Sentiment has not crystallized behind Hoover as might have been expotted. Mind, I am not against Hoover I am for him as much as for any one else." U. S. Attorney Tuttle To Speak In Harlem United States Attorney. Charles Tuttle will be the principal speaker at the Abyssinian Baptist Church forum Sunday evening. June 11. Advertise Your Furnished Rooms In The Age Advertise Your Furnished Rooms In The Age Georgia Lawyer Now On U.S. Customs Court Bench Charged With Being A Bitter Negro Hater By Atlanta Man Dr. Brinson Cites Testimony Given Senate Committee By Judge W. J. Tilson, With Affidavits From Federal Court Officers To Show Jurist's Testimony Was Not True Atlanta, Ga.—The recent appoinitment by President Calvin Coolidge of William J. Tilson of this city to be a Judge of the U. S. Customs Court at New York has stirred some of the colored citizens to resentment because of Judge Tilson's alleged attitude of hating the Negro. Judge Tilson was sworn in on March 17 and is now sitting regularly in that Court, which holds its sessions at 641 Washington street, and which carries a salary of $10,000 per year. The tenure of office is permanent, with no constitutional age limits, and with removal possible only by impeachment by the House of Representatives after trial and conviction by a two-thirds vote of the U. S. Senate. Judge Tilson in a hearing before transcript Judge Tilson is cited as sub-committee of the Senate Committee on Judiciary with reference to the confirmation of the appointment of L. H. Marshall for the office of United States Marshal for the Northern District of Georgia the hearing being held on January 19, 1926. Transcript of Testimony. Specific charges as to Judge Tilson's, alleged biased attitude toward the Negro are made by E. H. Brinson of 129 McDonough street, described as a doctor and pharmacist, who declares his intention of entering suit against the Federal jurist for alleged libel contained in certain statements quoted as having been, made by SLEMP PREDICTS NAMING HOOVER ON 1st BALLOT Defends Hoover's Abol- ishing 'Jim Crow' In Census Bureau SLEMP PREDICTS NAMING HOOVER ON 1st BALLOT Defends Hoover's Abol- ishing 'Jim Crow' In Census Bureau Old Point Comfort, Va.-C. Bassom Slemp predicted the nomination of Secretary Hoover on the first ballot by the Republican National Convention at Kansas City next month. Col. Slemp, perhaps the country's most astute politician, former secretary to President Coolidge, and present Republican National Committee for Virginia, is here at a conference of Virginia Republicans. He defended Secretary Hoover's act of abolishing segregation of whites and blacks in the U. S. Census Bureau at Washington. According to suave Slemp, who is so suave that though he went in as the Coolidge secretary a practical and avowed lilywhite anthem to the bigtime Negro Republicans, he emerged with their esteem and a token of it. There were Negro, among a thousand white clerks at the Census Bureau, and in distributing the Negroes over the building instead of keeping them grouped to themselves, Secretary Hoover had only acted as President Wilson did when confronted by similar circumstances. Among the Slemp party here is Henry W. Anderson, the Richmond lawyer who is Virginia's candidate for the Republican Vice Presidential nomination. Col. Anderson's chief claim to political fame rests on his serious but unsuccessful attempt to get the Legislature to authorize the enabling act to revise the Virginia Constitution, which would permit only white persons to qualify as electors and thereby restore the two-party system in this State on a lily-wish basis. The two-party system was destroyed with the disfranchisement of the Negro—and half of the whites. Texas Mob Lynches Negro Being Held For Killing Farmer Texas Mob Lynches Negro Being Held For Killing Farmer Center, Texas. - A mob stormed the jail here on May 21, removed a Negro charged with the killing of a farmer and lynched him. The Negro, known as Evans, was accused of clubbing to death John Miller. About fifteen dragged the man from the jail and hanged him to a large oak tree in the courtyard. Judge Tilson in a hearing before transcript Judge Tilson is cited as sub-committee of the Senate Committee on Judicary with reference to the confirmation of the appointment of L. H. Marshall for office of United States Marshal, for the Northern District of Georgia, the hearing being held on January 19, 1926. Transcript of Testimony Mr. Brinson secured a transcript of the Tilson testimony through the good offices of Senator Hiram Johnson, and in this having used language referring to Dr. Brinson which was untrue and to have made statements attributing a criminal record to Brinson that are shown by records of the U. S. District Court, Northern District of Georgia, to be absurdly false. The sub-committee had heard an affidavit from Brinson, relating to the Crawford appointment, and the questioner, Mr. Zumbrunn, proceeded to question Tilson, who at that time had been a practising attorney here for twenty-eight years, as follows: "Mr. Zumbrunn: Do you know Mr Brinson, whose affidavit was introduced just before the recess for luncheon "Mr. Tilson: Yes, sir. He is a colored doctor and pharmacist in Atlanta. He is a sort of wild kind of Negro. I think he takes dope. He ran a drug store there, and was brought up two or three times for selling narcotics without a doctor's prescription. I used to defend him and take care of his' the best I could. He was a kind of unhappy fellow. When he was indicted for selling morphine in his pharmacy without a doctor's prescription several times, I got Mr. Hager now United States District Attorney, who was then in my office, I asked Mr. Hager to defend him. Mr. Hager agreed to represent him when he was indicted for selling morphine without a doctor's prescription, and he did represent him, and I went over to the Commissioner and tried to do all. I could to get Brinson off. He finally agreed to plead guilty and was wined $50. Cites Court Records In refutation of this direct statement by Judge Tilson, Mr. Brinson has secured statements from the chief deputy clerk of the U. S. District Court at Atlanta, certifying, under seal of his Court, that an examination of the criminal dockets of that Court from 1912 to February 3, 1926, disclosed no original case either indictment or criminal information, pendings or disposed of, wherein E. H. Brinson was defendant. A sworn affidavit from Charles A. Brown, a stenographer, living in the District of Columbia, attested to the correctness of the transcript of testimony, quoting Tilson's statement concerning Mr. Brinson. Under date of December 9, 1926, Mr. Brinson also sent more than a hundred letters to Senators and Congressmen, with copies of Tilson's testimony, the clerk's statement and the shorthand reporter's affidavit, which he told of an alleged threat against him by Tilson in a room at Kiball House, Atlanta, when the Brinson refused to utter a false affidavit against J. L. Philip's, another white Republican, who opposed Tilson whose room is in the Anley House had previously been raided by officers looking for contraband whiskey. Brinson declared that his persistent refusal to accede to Tilson's demand angered the latter to the extent that "he got up and shook his finger at me and said, 'If you do not sign it I will put you in the chain-gang.' I told him to go to it. Mr. Hager and Mr. Grier came out and said to me: 'Did he did it (Tilson mean. He treaded on song.' Mr. Brinson served papers on Judge Tilson either in New York or Washington in a suit, for criminal libel. Senate Committee Investigating The Matter of Pre-Primary Expenditures Shows $2000 Each Paid Howard, Davis Rush Holland, Hoover Agent, On Stand, Tells Of Payments Made To Control Southern Delegates In Behalf of His Candidate By RIENZI B. LEMUS Washington, D. C.—Perry W. Howard and Ben J. Davis each got $2,000 toward financing the Mississippi and Georgia drives for "Hoover delegates" to the Republican National Convention. So testified Rush Holland here at a hearing of the U. S. "Pifflatee" (Senate) committee on investigation of expenditures by Presidential nomination chasers. Mr. Holland is a former U. S. Assistant Attorney General. He testified that he paid the money to Messrs. Howard and Davis, Republican National committeemen in Mississippi and Georgia, respectively. asked Holland, "What's the color of Oliver D. Street?" (of Alabama) "White," said Holland. was excused moments later Holland was excused. What causes most comment here The "Piffleate's" presidential pre-eminent expense-snoopers' committee is made up of "Piffleate's" Sweier, Oregon, chairman, and McMaster, South Dakota, both "label" Republicans; Barkley, Kentucky, and Bratton, New Mexico, creature, brought into being by a resolution offered by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, and naming the members must have been the supreme joke of Vice President Dawes' incumbency of his office. The committee "piffleate's" take the assignment seriously, and apparently get most thrills from running auckee with questions among the roowoo. Rush Holland, who described himself as a "self worker" for the Hoover cause, testified that his work is about finished, and even the transcript of his testimony seems to breathe a sign of relief because of it. He said that he had "Stopped" in Arkansas, Louise, and he had only passed through, but other Southern States. He said he had disbursed $10,000. Asked what the money was used for, by "Piffireater" Steiwer, Mr. Holland snapped out, "I can't say but can say what it was paid out for." "In Mississippi I paid $2,000 to Perry Howard, the Republican National, Committeeman," the witness stated and, continuing, said, "In Georgia I paid out $2,000 to Ben Davis, the National Committeeman." "I gave him $200 for expenses incurred by him on two trips to Washington." "Holland testified that he gave the Alabama National Committeeman white $1,000; that he paid $1,000 for expenses incurred by the Florida Protective, Tariff League, and $500 to Vice Chairman Glenn Skipper of the State Central Committee. Asked where else did he place the money the witness replied, "No other place." "I accounted for only $2,000, according to my figures," Steiwer said. "Well, you must add the $200 which I paid B. W. (?) Davis for expenses on trips to Washington, Holland replied, "I have paid $100 week toward maintaining headquarters here conducted by Perry W. Howard," Holland continued. "Does anyone else contribute to the Howard headquarters?" Steier asked. "Not to my knowledge, the witness replied. "Are you familiar with operations Howard has been carrying on?" Steier wanted to know. "I don't know" answered Holland. "Piffleator" McMaster then developed that the Hoover workers in Holland were general way that the others were doing. Holland said he volunteered for work in the South. "Piffleator" Bratton, who looks like a sophisticated country school teacher, took up the questioning at a stake Holland. You paid Perry Howard $2,000 for work in Mr. Hoover's behalf? "I paid him $2,000 to increase his force here with the understanding that he would assist in the campaign." Holland replied. "Who is Perry Howard?" the country-raised but obviously able Bratton asked to know. Holland replied. "He is a colored man from Mississippi. He is a Republican National Committeeman from Mississippi. He is a lawyer 2nd was connected with the Department of Justice as an attorney." "Have you ever talked with the Secretary (Hoover) about Howard's activity." Bratton asked. "Piflicator" Barkley's turn to question the witness was due and right off the bat he asked Holland. "Did you ever discuss with Secretary Howard the need for segregation of whites and Negroes in the Census Bureau?" "He (Hoover) brought the order to me and showed it to me," answered Holland. "If the Howard headquarters here had been used as a Hoover adjunct, Holland replied "Not exactly. Of course, Howard came out for Hoover some months ago. Some time after that I paid Howard $2,000." "Do you know whether the segregation Howard was issued before Secretary Hoover became a candidate," Barkley asked. "I know nothing about it." replied Holland. "Unfamiliar with Southern Republican party personnel, Barkley asked Holland, "What's the color of Oliver D. Street?" (of Alabama) "White," said Holland. A few moments later Holland was excused. What causes most comment here is not the "Piffleate" committee development of the fact two Negro national committeeman, "controlling" between them 26 delegates—black and white—to the Republican National Convention, goes that as much per cent of the money pre-primitive expense money but the manifest attitude of Rush Holland toward Perry Howard. Mr. Holland and, Mr. Howard served at the same time in the Department of Justice. Mr. Howard is still there—at least he was an hour ago. To this writer's hedge Mr. Howard was Holland and he politically friendly as the time the reappointment of District Attorney (now Justice) Payton Gordon seemed to be in doubt. And yet Mr. Holland, in reply to "Piffeator" Bratton's question! who is Perry Holland? And he said—was connected with the Department of Justice as an attorney." It may be a part of the "game." If so, the part is almost perfectly played; for there appears to be an intended snarl in each of Holland's statements. As was connected with the Department. As for "installed," when asked by Stewiwer if he was familiar with operations. Howard has been carrying on, he replied, "I am familiar with what he has REPORTED he has done for Howard. Mr. Holland was" under oath, but he wanted to "oath" in some of his replies. The inexperienced "Pillifate" snopers, of some native ability, perhaps, are small-timer snopers on this big snopping assignment They ought to see the Senate's master-snopper, Senate's first snopper, in action. At some several times during an examination of a witness Senator Reed will refer to all of the male persons involved with a prefix that was not once accorded Perry Howard by a single one of the quartet of small-timers which make up the "Pillifates Presidential" pre-primary expense snopers of 1928. He was ever rising big headline noting the Holland testimony in a single Washington big-time daily nanger. Principal Blanton's Campaign To Raise Funds For Voorhees Principal J. E. Blanton, of the Voorhees Normal and Industrial School, at Denmark, S. C., was in New York recently in the interest of the educational campaign of the American Church Institute for the college it instituted, 65500, to extend its educational program among its nine schools and college for the education of the Negro in the South. Principal Blanton was one of the leading factors in the campaign and was constantly in demand as a speaker and leader of the institute sextet at the meetings held in the interest of the movement. He proved to be of great service to the American Church Institute for Negroes and to trade a valuable concession to the college driver or larger program of education of the Negro schools of the Episcopal Church. The Voorhees Normal and Industrial School under its present leadership is becoming one of the leading educational centers of the south. It was founded by the late Miss E. E. Wright in 1897. Today the school has nineteen buildings, a faculty of thirty-two teachers, 635 students, and 400 acres of land. The property is valued at $200,000. Martin A. Menafee, treasurer, has been one of the strong factors in the development of the school. He has been associated with the school of Voorhees for over twenty-five years, and has rendered valuable service to the institution.

Keeping Your Sickness Budget Down The annual cost of illness in the United States, according to Dr. Louis I. Dublin, statistician for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, is in excess of $2,000,000,000. Dr. Dublin finds also that the average cost of illness for a family is $80 a year. This cost, Dr. Dublin says, can be met fairly easily, but anything over this amount is apt to "swamp" the family. It is impossible for families of small or even moderate incomes to meet the expenses of prolonged illness or serious operations. The hope of the majority of us is that we may avoid serious operations and illness of long duration, and of the best protections we have, in the periodic health examination. Go to your doctor or to a cline for a complete medical examination once each year. This method of checking up your health is one of the best ways to ensure that you may be slight physical defects of which you yourself are not aware. If let go, these minor defects may develop into major ones, causing a great deal of suffering later on. If discovered and treated early, they may be corrected easily at small cost. You will be able yourself money and avoiding suffering. *Take your doctor's advice. Follow his instructions if you have any defect which should be corrected. A health examination every year will help you to keep your health, and you may be able to decrease your sickness budget, even below the average. H. R. George & Company Offers New Stock Issue The H.

Health Committee Helps Tuberculosis Patient A trait, hollow-eyed young woman called at the offices of the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee, 202 West 136th street, one day not long ago. "My doctor says I have tuberculosis and must have hospital care. He sent me here. Can you help me get into such-and-such a hospital?" she asked Mabel Doley Keaton, R. N. executive secretary of the committee, who has charge of the information service. Mrs Keaton invited the young woman to sit down and tell her story. She and her sister lived together in one room, and slept in the same bed. Finally one had become very ill. She had tuberculosis and the doctor advised immediate care in a hospital. She wished to go only to one hospital which she had heard her friends discuss favorably. There was a long waiting list for admittance to that particular hospital, but the young woman wished to wait rather than go anywhere else. After discussing the situation with her, the worker was able to make her see that other hospitals also give good care and why her doctor said she needed hospital care immediately, and that she should go away so that she would not infect her sister. In a few days the young woman was admitted to a hospital. She will be cared for there until she can be transferred to a sanatorium. Both sisters have expressed their thanks to the Harlem committee, Mrs. Keaton says, for help in solving their difficulties and showing them the importance of hospital care for the improvement of the one and the health of the other. All kinds of questions on health matters are answered by the information service of the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee. Any resident of the community may consult it for information.

The drugist told me Black-Draught would help me. I bought a package and had it made into tea and take it any time I feel the need of a laxative. It always helps me. I have much better appetite after I take Black-Draught. I can eat about everything I want and feel full of pep. I would not be without it for double the price." Black-Draught can be taken dry or made into a tea, as you prefer. Either way, it costs only one cent a dose.

C.-Perhaps, the most remarkable case in the criminal annals of the District of Columbia courts is that of Philip Jackson. Philip Jackson is a nonnational Negro. About fifteen months ago Jackson brutally assaulted a white woman on the Capitol Grounds. The unusual brutality of his act marked it as not the doings of a normal person. He was caught after quite a man hunt; tried, convicted, and, sentenced to be electrocuted last July. Thrice has the date of execution been deferred; much to the perturbation of the eminent Washington Star. The unusual feature of the Jackson case is that Jackson's attorney is a young Negro, John H. Wilson; and John Wilson has handled the Jackson case with such legal skill and acumen that he has proved himself the peer of any criminal lawyer in the District of Columbia. It was not dime in jeans! he was not reelected or lifts service; for Jackson was and is friendless and penniless. Former Justice A. A. Hoehling, who presided at the trial, assigned Wilson to Jackson's defense! To Be First Victim. The last Washington execution was upon the ancient gallows, discarded not so long ago. There is a brand new electric chair awaited in christening. Jackson was slated to confer upon the Negro the distinction of furnishing the "christener." Three, coll-blooded, white murderers of a Washington policeman were convicted and sentenced subsequent to Jackson. and the Nordic rested easily. Then, Louis R. Lautier, Washington's premier reporter, casually learned from a jail trusty that Philip Jackson is the offspring of an incestuous relationship of brother and sister. Mr. Lautier communicated his information to C. Lucien Skinner, and Mr. Skinner, accompanied by Robert J. Nelson of the Washington Eagle, called on and passed it to Justice Hoehling, who advised them to communicate with Attorney Wilson. The District Code provides that a trial judge may grant a sanity hearing by jury for a convicted murderer on petition from his at- torney. It was just 24 hours before the day of execution that Justice Hoehling conducted a hearing on Jacksons sanity hearing plea. Had Abnormal Traits. The lawyer submitted several lay affidavits purporting to establish Jackson's abnormality from childhood. There was one from his mother, who swore that Jackson's father is her own, full brother. One deponent, a white farmer, swore that Jackson's strength was abnormal and the deponent was saved from serious injury when Jackson caught the ankle of a kicking mule as the flying hoof was enroute to his stomach. Another swore that Jackson cured a cat of the butter-stealing habit by forcing it to sit near the butter, daring the cat to look at it; and deponent sayeth the cat didn't look. In view of the medical testimony that Jackson was sub-normal but responsible, and because Jackson answered over 800 questions of prosecutor and defense counsel without hesitation in his presence at the trial, Justice Hoehleng denied the petition. This was appealed by Attorney Wilson, and the appeal automatically acted as a stay. Justice Hoehleng then sentenced Jackson to be electrocuted in November, 1927. Thus had Wilson saved his race the "chair" christening honor" at the 11th fourth, through proceeding so race Justice Hoehleng had to go back years for precedents. The Court of Appeals did not render its decisions sustaining Justice Hoehleng until April; so execution was set for May 15 But Jackson was not roasted to death in the brand new death chair on that date. Attorney Wilson has appealed to the President for commutation of sentence. The label on your paper gives date of expiration.

The Washington correspondent of the New York Times, in last Sunday's issue of that paper, reviewing the political situation particularly with reference to Gov. Smith's chances, stated that the recent anti-segregation orders issued by Secretary Hoover in the Department of Commerce has given the southern Democrats much satisfaction. This, the correspondent declares, is being used by Smith's supporters to overcome the opposition engendered through Smith's wet proclivities, Tammany connections and Catholic affiliations. One southern Senator is reported to have said: "Bless the Lord, we can now go to our people when Al Smith is nominated to run against Hoover, and say to them: Yes, Smith is a Tammany man, a Catholic and a wet, but would you rather not have him in the White House than a President who compels white men and white women to associate with Negoes?" Segregation has existed in the Treasury Department since William G. McAdoo was Secretary, and it is reported that Secretary Mellon called in certain of the higher ranking colored employees and asked their views on the situation. The result, it is said, was that these men indicated that they did not care to have any change made. The Hoover order, according to a rumor circulating around, was due to the wish of President Coolidge, but no official instructions were made public. Babies Love It For all stomach and intestinal troubles and disturbances due to teething; there is nothing better than a safe Infants' and Children's Laxative. MR. LOWDEN NO PUSSYFOOTER. In these days of side-stepping and mealy mouthed candidates, who seem afraid to voice their beliefs, and intentions, when an issue of any importance faces them, it is somewhat startling to find a candidate who stands by his guns. Former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, who is the champion of the Western farmers in their demand for governmental aid, in response to a recent questioner, flatly said that he still favored the McNary-Haugen bill, which is expected to provoke a Presidential veto. He believes that the East does not realize the troubles that beset the farmers and the need for active measures of relief. This statement was coupled with the warning that the Republican party may have to face open revolt, unless something is done for the farmers; and that there is no use criticising the present bill, unless the party is prepared to offer something better. He thought that the President should sign the bill and did not hesitate to say so. He believes the Republican party will have a hard time carrying the Middle West, if the bill is vetoed. Concerning his own candidacy for the nomination, he had only to say that if he was not nominated, his troubles would be over. Evidently Mr. Lowden takes a more serious view of the farmers' troubles than most of the other Republican candidates. The sincerity that marked Mr. Lowden's utterance in the matter of the farmers' grievances gives the measure of his character as an advocate and an administrator. He has the outstanding quality of being dependable, in that there is no misunderstanding of his position on any public question. He knows that most of the Republicans of the East are opposed to the McNary-Haugen bill, because it carries an appropriation for the farmers in the shape of an equalization fund, which comes out of the public treasury and may never go back to it. But for that matter the treasury has for years appropriated money to aid the shipping industry, either through the Shipping Board or in the guise of postal subsidies. Manufacturing has been aided by a tariff for protection, which cut off competition from foreign sources. Now the farmer demands his subsidy or protection. Mr. Lowden does not pussyfoot or seek to avoid the issue. He is out flat-footedly for aid to the farmers; in the shape of the McNary-Haugen bill, unless something better can be devised, to help them out of their present plight. The government has already done something in the way of aid to agriculture through the institution of Farm Loan banks and other agencies. But it looks as if it will have to do more, if the farmers are to be placated. JAPANESE STUDY AMERICA. A notable feature in connection with the Japanese youth is the institution of students tour-abroad parties, the first of which was organized two years ago. This enterprise was undertaken by Kaju Nakamura, a former member of the Japanese Parliament and editor and publisher of a monthly magazine called Japanese Abroad, printed at Tokyo, Japan. Mr. Nakamura spent some years in New York City, where at one time he edited the Japanese American Weekly, which was printed by The Age Press. The purpose of the tours for Japanese students which he initiated, is to utilize a few months of summer vacation by giving them the opportunity of observing foreign countries, for broader training on the basis of international education. The April number of this magazine contained an article by one of the members of last year's student observation party, Tomoichi Kozono, entitled "My Views on America," in which he gave the results of his three months trip, with the feeling that he had "come to understand America and the Americans to a certain extent." He appraised the country as really wonderful, chiefly in its vastness of land and abundance of re- sources. Material culture was pronounced to have reached its acme, education as popular, streets orderly, buildings up-to-date, roads and traffic facilities complete, and sanitary and fire-prevention equipments perfected. The progress of aeroplane and other industries was cited as showing that Japan has much to learn from America. The student observer declared that his preconceived idea of America, obtained through newspapers and magazines, was quite different from later impressions. Where he had expected to find the people in a land of liberty and democracy "too freely inclined, dissolute and disorderly," he found laws and rules being observed more strictly than under a despotic government. As example of this, he cited the compulsory education laws and enforcement of military training. The prosecution of prohibition violations was styled unrelenting and the strictness of enforcement caused the visitor to aver that "America is a country of despotism as well as liberty." The training of Americans as individuals and as members of group life was rated high, as well as their public sentiment and observance of order in street crowds. Their business morality was commended as an example to the Japanese, as exemplified in the sale of automobiles on monthly installments. Economy and labor were ascribed as the prevailing tendencies among both rich and poor, and as being the basis of the present greatness of America, The nationalistic ideals of the people were seen in the universal display of the Stars and Stripes, and the profound respect exhibited for the national flag. This moved the observer to lament as follows: "It seems as if our nationalistic spirit, Yannatodamashii, to our deepest regret, had entirely left us and gone into the heart of the Americans." Another preconceived notion that Americans were "an insolent and somewhat abominable people," was dispelled by the tourist finding them really to be very lively, cheerful and pleasant. He was deeply impressed by the need of the Japanese to come in intimate touch with the Americans for the purposes of contributing to world peace, bringing about better relations between the two countries and developing Japan's foreign trade. The exclusion of Japanese immigrants and the trouble caused to Japanese residents by the land ownership laws were extenuated on the ground that these were "not the intention of the whole people, but only a result of the policy followed" by a certain political party," in effect a political blunder. After having determinedly pointed out all the good points he could find in America, the tourist admitted that there were not a few bad ones, which the Japanese would do well to shun. These were enumerated as the national regime, the social structure and the family system, in respect to all of which the Japanese seemed far superior. Evidently the Japanese student had the training of a diplomat in embryo as was manifested both in his praise and in his reservations. The fact that the itinerary of the students tour for this year included such cities as San Francisco, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Washington, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, shows that only the most progressive and enlightened sections of the country were surveyed. This undoubtedly rendered it easier to make favorable comparisons. Nevertheless Mr. Kozono has the makings of a diplomat. SCHOOL SUPERVISION. Recalling the recent controversy over the superintendency of Chicago's public school system, when an efficient executive was forced out on most ridiculous charges, New York has reason to rejoice that despite political changes of various kinds, the public school system has managed to maintain competent and conscientious educators as its executive heads. From the time of Superintendent Kiddle, through the terms of Dr. Maxwell and Dr. Ettinger, down to the present, the post of superintendent has been filled by men of executive ability and courage, who have administered the office with a view to serving the interests of pupils and teachers, without bias or discrimination. The same principle of conduct applies to Dr. William J. O'Shea, the present superintendent, who recently visited one of the Harlem schools and inspected the work done by teachers and pupils. He congratulated those responsible upon the high standard of the work performed and welcomed the interest exhibited by the parents as helpful to the progress of the children. When one of the other speakers asserted that the public school system knows neither race, creed or color, Dr. O'Shea assured his hearers that this policy will continue so long as he has anything to say about school matters. It is gratifying to have an assurance of this kind from the head of the school THE NEW YORK AGE system, although it was hardly necessary in view of the practical workings of the policy hitherto pursued. Yet the effect of such a pronouncement is salutary, as an indication to the other members of the system of the principles that should guide their conduct in dealing with teachers and pupils. The practical result of the broad and enlightened policy followed in the Harlem schools were seen in the exhibit of the activities of the pupils. These included a flower garden, a circus project, children's dresses, rugs, pocketbooks, aprons, etc., from the Welfare League. A notable feature is the Health Club, which takes care of the underweight children, in bringing them up to normal, some gaining as much as five pounds a month. Under such efficient superintendency as the New York schools have enjoyed during the past few decades, and with the cooperation of such indefatigable board officials as Vice President M. Samuel Stern, 'their sphere of usefulness in building up good citizenship is bound to increase. Every dollar spent for education in this city is a paying investment, so long as it is wisely and faithfully administered in the interest of the community.

Tribute to the dead is a common attribute of humanity, which does credit to the race and to the individual. It is much rarer to pay proper tribute to the living, while the subject of such a testimonial may accept and appreciate it. The Negro race in this country has been encouraged and assisted, morally and materially, by many friends among the other races, some through devoted service in educational matters, others by encouraging advocacy in the public prints and still others by material aid in welfare movements. Among those who have contributed both morally and materially to the uplift of the race is Mr. George Foster Peabody, well known for his long and active career in finance, politics and philanthropy. A native of Georgia, Mr. Peabody came to New York with many notions concerning the race, which were modified or changed by contact and experience. His interest in the training of our youth was early testified by his contribution for the building of a Young Men's Christian Association at Columbus, Ga., some thirty years ago. Later he became interested in the opening of a colored branch of the same organization in Brooklyn, N. Y. He also manifested a lively interest in St. Augustine's Church in that borough. A devoted admirer of Negro music, Mr. Peabody displayed intense interest in the development of spirituals, before that form of native music attained its present popularity. He did much to assist in the development of promising young musicians of the race, including some gifted Africans. Outside of this interest in the music of the race, Mr. Peabody displayed a humanitarian interest that demanded fairplay in the struggle for progress. A Democrat in politics, he was progressive enough to admit the desirability of the race dividing its vote so as to secure a friendly footing in both parties. A sincere admirer of Governor Smith of New York, he at times espoused his cause through the columns of The Age. Having retired from active business, Mr. Peabody is still alert mentally and physically and maintains his interest in Negro progress and music. His career as a humanitarian and philanthropist has been productive of fruitful results, both for himself and for others. His record of active interest in his fellows is one that does him honor. CURBING THE BISHOPS. following the example set by theologist Episcopal General Conference Kansas City, advises from Chicago that the African Methodist once would prefer charges against its bishops. These charges include misappropriation of conference funds maladministration. The trial hop Bast at Kansas City resulted Following the example set by the Methodist Episcopal General Conference at Kansas City, advices from Chicago indicated that the African Methodist conference would prefer charges against four of its bishops. These charges included the misappropriation of conference funds and maladministration. The trial of Bishop Bast at Kansas City resulted in his being deposed from the office of bishop on the charge of misappropriation of funds, but being allowed to remain as a member of the church and the ministry, subject to appointment as a pastor. According to advises from Chicago, the passage of a resolution removing all the bishops from the districts where they are now stationed, if they had served two quadrenniums, provoked an uprising. Many of the bishops protested that the general conference had no authority to pass such a resolution, and threatened to defy it through appointments by the Episcopal Committee. This threat was met by the rejoinder that in such case the bishops would not have any churches or preachers to preside over. One reporter said, "that never before in the history of the church, has there been such determined spirit manifested to de THE AGE READERS' FORUM throne the bishops from their throne of independence, so arrogantly practiced in later years." This revolt of the ministry and lay delegates against the arbitrary rule of the bishops argues that the scene is set for a change of policies in the African Methodist denomination. The further fact that Ira T. Bryant, the editor of the Young Allenite and a general officer of the connection, was re-elected, after his severe arraignment of several of the bishops on serious charges, is further evidence that the power of the bishops is waning. But it is not wise, to merely discredit the bishops and to curtail their powers over the ministry. The bishopric should be purged Conditions In Harlem From The New York World To the Editor of The World; The prices of commodities and other conditions in what is known as the "black belt of Harlem" demand attention. I have been expecting for a long time to see this matter taken up by a capable colored writer but so far have failed to see a word of criticism or a word of any kind as to the conduct of and condition of the public street market on Eighth Avenue from 140th Street to 145th Street, the price of ice all through West Harlem and the dangerous traffic conditions at the intersection of 145th Street and Eighth Avenue. The sanitary conditions of the public street market are simply frightful. I am acquainted with market conditions all over the greater city, but in none of them is the same filth to be seen as in this one on Eighth Avenue. It is a common practice to short-change customers and it is a regular thing to short-weight. No one connected with any of the city departments seems to care. But some one ought to care both conditions with summer rapidly broaching. The cellar icemen all around here are being held up by the middlemen from whom they must buy. Cakes of ice-300 pounds—now cost the cellar dealer 90 cents, in the winter 75 cents. These cakes are purchased by the middleman from the ice manufacturers for 45 cents. The cellar dealer could not buy from the manufacturer even if he would for less than 75 cents, so the same situation that existed in Brooklyn to a year ago exists here. The cellar to the city ago for charge is limited to the city to 60 cents per 100 pounds, which includes service and wastage. Frequently short-weights to make up for increased middlemen's charges. Now as to traffic; no crossing above 59th Street is more congested with traffic than 145th Street and Eighth Avenue. But never is there a traffic policeman there except on ball-game airtermen, and then only in the interest of automobiles, not pedestrians. Filthy, dirty restaurants could be incuded too. In fact, a good general clean-up is badly needed, physically and morally. CHAS. J DAVEY New York, May 11. (NOTE, BY THE AGE EDITOR: I want what Mr. Dayes's opportunity is for acquiring knowledge of conditions in Harlem does not appear, but his strictures are somewhat farfetched. So far as comment on the situations referred to in his letter are concerned, The New York Age has on numerous occasions, editorially and through special news stories, called attention to the need of certain conditions, and the short changing structures on the 8th avenue street mkrekts. Alderman Fred R Moore has consistently worked to alleviate these evils. As to the life situation, The Age has already carried stories concerning the matter and is even now working in cooperation with a group of the retail ice men for a change to the better). Editor of The New York Age: I don't think we, as a race in New York, realize the more favorable attitude the daily press has taken toward our group on the Metropolis since the World War. I think this changed attitude on the part of the white press has been largely due to a member of our group, Lester A. Walton, who through his work on The New York World, had done much in giving publicity to the often neglected accomplishments of our group. Mr. Walton is, in my opinion, one of the best journalists developed in recent years. He is a man of high ideals, and, like many of his peers, does not limit his work to hosting his personal friends and those with whom he wishes to curry favor. But, wherever there is any worthy endeavor or any unusual incident, he can always be found with pen in hand. Mr. Walton has to be more than just a newspaper reporter. His job requires a tact and diplomacy not ordinarily found in reporters, for he is interpreting his race to the white race through their press, and this requires both skill and finesse. The type of articles he writes weekly have been widely reprinted and have caused competing newspapers to have similar articles written in their own publications. Thus redounding to the good fortune of our group, I think that we of the group are of those members who unfit for its duties and responsibilities, by trying them on the charges made and removing them if their guilt is proven. This movement to curb the power of the bishops, which seems common to all the Methodist bodies, has grown out of encroachments made by the bishops and their absorption of too many functions. The ministry and the laity are coordinate bodies in the church organization and naturally demand a share in the governing of the church. The arbitrary rule of the bishops has provoked a reaction, which may have serious results for the individuals who caused it, but that in the end may work for the general good of the church. the work that Mr. Walton is doing. MAURICE HUNTER Art Students League 215 West 57th St. EDITOR'S NOTE: Mr. Hunter is a model for many character drawings of the Negro and darker peoples of the world. He has been on the staff of the Art Students League for the past eleven years, and has won high praise for his work from artists and critics. He is a native of British Guiana, but has been a resident of New York for a number of years. As evidence of his enquiry in his chosen profession, Mr. Hunter was recently invited to address the School of Fine Arts and Albright Art Gallery at Buffalo. He also filled a recent engagement at the Rochester Antheum and Mechanics Institute School of Applied Arts. A Reform Needed Editor The New York Age: Editor in the New York Age. In "listening in" on the radio, I very often hear renditions that are a burlesque on religion and are, compositions of prayer and sermons in which thought, expression, and dialect are ridiculous, and taken by listeners to be productions of prayers and sermons that are current in Negro churches of this day. We do not doubt but what some decades ago our ministers rendered such productions but were sincere, and listeners found no fun in them, but listeners of such broadcastings today are building theories on what they hear with regard to the race's inferiority, leadership and choice that must, have our attention sooner or later. It seems to this writer that now is the time to ask the stations to broadcast productions by which the present spirit and attainments are reflected and such productions as I am mildly protesting against be shelved with the reflexes of the slavery times which it is best to be forgotten; besides the seriousness which originally characterized those productions, and the circumstances which produced them are sacred and it seems sacrilegious to release them to fun makers. THQS. H AMOS Hillburn, N. Y. Sen. Glass and The Constitution (From The New York World) To the Editor of The World To the Editor of the World: "I believe it, has always been the custom for a man elected to the Senate of the United States to take an oath to protect and uphold the Constitution, which includes each and every one of the amendments thereto. Now along comes Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, who, in his gallant Southern manner, is quoted as saying: "The people of the original thirteen Southern States curse and deride and spit upon the Fifteenth Amendment, and have no intention of letting the Negro vote." The Senator, being one of the "people of the original thirteen Southern States," apparently makes no bones about his deliberately deriding and desiring upon the sacred document that he has sworn to uphold. I do not recall his having made any reservations with regard to certain portions of the Constitution when he took path of office. Many so-called radicals or Reals are still serving time in American prisons for the high crime of having expressed much milder opinions concerning the non-sacred quality of the very same document. Is not there some way of departing this Bolshevik Senator to Russia to keep Bill Haywood company? A. A. GOLDEN Los Angeles, Cal., May 9 Vegetables In The Diet This is the time of year when we are likely to eat a great many starchy foods. We should eat them, but it is important also that we should include other vegetables besides potatoes in our diet, and should eat at least one fresh vegetable every day, if possible. Vegetables are essential to a well-balanced diet. They contain mineral salts and vitamins which are important to good health. Many of them supply roughage to the system, through the fibrous material they contain. Now-a-days it is possible to obtain fresh vegetables all the year round. Usually they can be secured at moderate prices, too, if, however, they are too expensive to be included in your menu, but canned vegetables and serve lettuce or celery for In a leading editorial the California Eagle of Los Angeles sought to account for; the passing of baby carriages, as follows: Manufacturers of baby carriages are complaining that the demand for their product has declined materially. Two reasons are suggested: one, that there are not, so many babies and the other, that the automobile has made it less needful to wheel out the baby in his own vehicle. There may be another reason. There are fewer safe places in which to wheel a baby carriage than in former days. Though a city baby might enjoy being in the park, the perils on the way there might act to deter from the effort. It would be a rash person who would risk the baby's life by wheeling it along a highway. A baby carriage would stand a poor show in a conflict with an automobile. Possibly baby carriage manufacturers are the victims of altered traffic conditions rather than that their plight is due to fewer babies. Babies are our best crop and we can not as a people be prosperous unless the output is ample. Though baby carriages may be superseded there is no substitute for a baby. It would be alarming indeed were the slackening of demand for carriages to indicate failure of the baby crop. It is gratifying to learn that the passing of the baby carriage does not indicate any falling off in the infant industry. It merely means that the manufacturers of those vehicles are in the same box as the bicycle makers, due to the increase of motor traffic. The editor of the Columbia Palmetto Leader has lost confidence in the efficacy of the questionnaire as applied to political candidates. He said: Senator Borah took it upon himself to propound certain questions as to the Prohibition Amendment to all supposed candidates for nomination for the presidency. Whether he is satisfied with the answers given, when they were noticed, only he knows. Recently the Associated Negro Press took it upon itself to propound certain questions as to the attitude of candidates touching the rights and welfare of the Negro as a citizen. To this day, not one of the men addressed, Republican or Democrat, has answered. The chances are they are not going to answer. Even if they did, what would it amount to? What candidate, say anyway is taken seriously by those acquainted with the ways of politicians. That used to be, but certainly no Negro who remembers Candidate Warren Harding's fine sneezes ought again be fooled. What a candidate says is quite different from what a President does. But if they don't answer as they haven't what's going to be done about it: what can be done about it? Nothing. Why then keep up the childish幼犁! It's not talk that's needed anyway. Away with questionnaires. The best gauge as to the attitude of candidates on public issues is to be found in their personal character and past record. If a candidate has been ground on the question of human rights in the past, he is likely to follow that course in the future. The Carolina Times of Durham devoted considerable space on its first page to the recent invasion of North Carolina by Senator Helfin of Alabama, who delivered a three hours tirade against Governor Smith of New York the Catholic church and the Negro. It said in part: The cabs pictured by the speaker were well calculated to stir up animosities and erase all of the sensibilities of the white people of this community. With Governor Al Smith in the White House, according to Mr. Heftin, social equality would be forced upon the white people of the South and Nego dance halls would reveal a shocking spectacle of colored men happily embracing white female dance partners. Saloons would return and the Negroes, furnished plenitely with mucinous prefered by the "labor ring" supporting Mr. Smith's candidates, would endanger the lives of the white people on every paved highway of the State. Lunching, also, was justified as the fundamental insinus of the white man in maintaining white supremacy. The Senator went into detail in parading how he and the other Southern Congressmen had defeated the Iber Anti-Lunching Bill, in order to preserve the "freedom" of the white man and his right to lunch. Evidently, the Senator did not want his audience to know that most of the Southern States have anti-Lunching bills on their statute books and that the Commonwealth of Virginia has recently gained the commendation of the Nation by enacting such a law, which is calculated to end mob movements in that State. The report stated further that all the well known local Democratic officials of the city and county were conspicuously absent from the plat- a part of every well-balanced meal carrot, beets, beans, peas, mash- flower, cabbage, Brussel Sprouts spinach, onions, turnips, tomatoes are some of the vegetables from which to choose. There are enough to give plenty of variety to meals. Try varying your dinner by serving a vegetable one occasionally instead of having meat every day. Be sure to include at least one fresh vegetable in your day's meals and fresh, fruit of some sort in your meals. Saturday, May 28, 1928. form, but "added dignity was present in the persons of two of Davidam's white, ministers, who invited the divine blessing on the message of hate." What a paradox! According to the Savannah Journal, the report of the committee selected to look after the interests of the depositors of the Wage Farmers Bank brought little encouragement to those who heard it at a meeting called for that purpose. It continued: The information given out disclosed the fact that no large per cent would be realized from the assets of the bank, which is now in course of liquidation by the state banking department. This news, while not surprising to some, was very astonishing, unsavvy and naous to the majority who had hoped to hear something encouraging. The cause attributed for the unfavorable conditions were reported to be the wild-cat, speculative New York investments, subsidiary experiments and more than one hundred thousand dollars in "accommodation" or "friendship" notes. It was further reported that the banking department claims to be doing everything possible to protect the depositors and that stock assessments had been levied against the stockholders and colections would be pushed. The committee was authorized to continue to function and cooperate with the liquidating agent in securing the highest price possible for all property to be sold. In citing the lessons to be gained from such failure, the Journal said that "we must realize that white folks suffer bank failures in a far greater proportion than our group but they do not lose confidence nor do they stop doing business with their people." Under the heading of "Racial Crossroads in St. Louis," the St. Louis Arrows noted the following incidents of interracial contact in that city: Courtesies across the race line are rare, but it warmed the cookies of my heart to see the other day, the substantial white business man tenderly escort a feeble old coloured woman with a bundle and cane across Washington at Jefferson and when he tipped his hat to her after she was safely ncross, we knew that he was not just paying a southern tribute to a "innyman." Travelers will never quite get accustomed to our white red-caps at Union Station But the red-cap who loaded with bags in one hand and a three year old brown child in his arms while the mother and another child followed closely behind, destroys argument for demanding those jobs for our group. A Negro woman social worker apparently thought it necessary to continue a conversation with an unknown white tramp who approached her while she was waiting for her office to open—that custom not necessary in St. Louis, young lad. The irrepressible white saloon with bad manners toward colored people, got "his" in a certain office owned by Negroes. As usual, he bounced in, hat on and all made straight for the two Negro men already in conversation in an inner office and invited him out to the waiting room and promised to find out when and if Mr. X— could talk to him The writer also urged that Negro music lovers take advantage of the "seat insurance" for the municipal opera, to insure fair seats and to accept a share of the cost in maintaining this cave venture. With the exhortation, "Keep Denver Clean," the Colorado State of that city indulged in the following homely: The physical appearance of Denver is always that of a clean, well kept city. Strangers and tourists are quick to ride the carefully swept streets and alleys, the brightness of our public buildings, the attractiveness of our residential sections with block after block of beautiful bungalows, spacious park, and neatly trimmed parkways, and above all the clean appearance of Denver citizens in general. In fact, we pride ourselves upon a case upheld difficult of duplication by any other city of the country. But with all our care and outlook, there is no doubt virtue and menu in the concerted movement commonly called "Clean-up-Week". There are no necessary accumulations around any home or business house during the long winter months, and their disposition becomes quite a problem for the individual, but with our cooperation "Clean-up-Week" can be made an event contribute only by the better appearance of Denver, but to her sanitary importance. Several different slogans have been adopted as appropriate for the week's significance, but that which must appeal to us is to "Make and Keep Denver clean". It is also a matter of gas pressure that every class of curser is here able using the rake of law tender or soap and water or paint brush. Denver is a delightful city to live and we but add her value to every endeavor to keep our ponds clean. The almost universal practice of observing "Clean Up We Do" is nearly all of the large cities we prove that the old adage and cleanliness being next to cleanliness has not lost its point, although was not intended that the former shall continue for the latter. CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Mother Zion Church In spite of the rainy, weather, Mother Zion was largely attended on last Sunday. Rev. Samuel Walcott of Lincoln University was the greacher at the morning and evening services. He brought thought- and inspiring sermons. Thirteen persons united with the church during the day. Junior Church services were held at 10:30 a.m. in the lecture room. Church School was largely attended at 2 o'clock. On Thursday there will be "A Dream in Maryland" given by the Church School Choir No. 1 in the Community House. The Silver Leaf Jubilee Swans will render a program of Negro melodies and folk songs under auspices of the Dunbar-Hattie Boone Circle. Miss Marie Brown, president, in the lecture room. Friday, presides over services of the Missionary Services. Mrs. Bertha Hirth will be the speaker. Next Sunday: 6 a.m. sunrise prayer meeting. 10:30 a.m. Junior Church: 11 a.m. sermon, by the pastor, Dr. Brown. 4 p.m. J. C. Price Liceum. Program under auspices of the senior choir. 8 p.m. sermon by Little Helen Smith The sick: Annie White, Englewood Hospital, Englewood, N. J. Irene Wilson, 228th Fifth avenue; Ransom Dabney, 547 Lexon avenue; Annie Johnson, 119th West 137 street; Jella Swinton, 55 West 137 street; Gerteud Herndon, Woman's Hospital; Edith Hall, 53 West 139 street; Samuel Strain, 120 West 139 street; Woman's Hospital; Beatrice, Benjamin, 9 West 137 street; Mattie Hawkes, Memorial Hospital. Rush Memorial Church At the eleven o'clock service, Rev. J. Matthews, who is in charge during the absence of our pastor, Dr. M. O'Malley of St. Mary's 19:27, subject: "Attachment to Christ and Reward." The subject matter was interesting and impressive. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. R. Henderson received the sacrament of baptism during the morning service. Mr. Wilson, a member of our church, was speaker for the evening. His text was taken from Book of Psalms: "Restore unto me the joys of my salvation." He is still ill at home, and Mr. Brooks, is in St. Joseph Hospital. Both are slowly improving. Refuge Church of Christ Sunday services was good, inspite 'of the cool cloudy weather that prevailed on the outside. The congregation was large and attentive. Eld. White of Washington, D. C., was the speaker at the morning service. Zeichner a foul, in that day there a foul, a foul, a foul, the house of David, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and uncleaness." There have been words spoken by men at various times, and books written, of which many of them are known, but not the first. But, this word of which we speak this morning is faithful and true. I thank God for the fountain of which Zechariah speaks. It has a two-fold signification. From this word, we know that it only to a limited group of clientele, and that of the Jewish race, "to the inhabitants of Jerusalem," and the scripture speaks in one place that salvation is of the Jews. But, on the other hand, we had deeper signification in that place. Zechariah did not, get the glimpse, and that is seen in this day through the light of the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. For He being a Jew according to the flesh), make-hare His arm to bring salvation to all nations. Grace Church of Harlem A grey day - in May, was last Sunday. However the people of Grace Church were not entirely forgetful of the public worship of their own church. The size of the audience was creditable for the rainy unfortunate services that were usal at this church. The sermon was presented from Romans 2:28-29. "He is not a Jew who is a Jew outwardly." His theme was "The letter and the Spirit Contrasted." The sermon was good and strong, and was listened to with much interest. Mrs. Elizabeth Watson united with the church. The choir, that has become a feature of the worship of Grace Church, was at its near best, and that means that it was good enough for anybody. Gregory H Royal and Mrs. Irene Royal delegates to the recent New York City Congregational Church Association at M. Vernon, N. Y. the reports, Mr. Royal, making the report, covered the important meetings the afternoon and evening with intelligent and tasteful and even inspirational. The words of Mrs. Royal, though few, were full of meaning. The pastor was evidently pleased at the excellent reports these people made. It was noticed, from a few words the pastor said, that there was the greatest librarian in opinion—the delegates in office though husband and wife, and their agreement, presenting their improvement. Their inclusion indemnity was most pleasing. Grace Church deserves success if for no other reason than this: she preserves freedom. Mr. Illegore, head of the young people, Church School group, is entrusting himself to the people of Grace in an unusual way. Mr. Augustus Sims is heading a group of young people seeking to serve a deaf community. Lincoln Academy at King's Mountain, N. C. The musical program presented by Senorita Zoila Galvez was one of the best heard at Grace Church this season. The audience was largely the Italian or Spanish speaking growth of Harlem, and she is an artist of charming personality and voice; her support also was of excellent quality. The evening service was of a musical nature and was in charge of Henwood Bruce's music pupils. Mr. Bruce made a statement at the beginning of the program that caused more attention than the more the work of the children. Rev. Mr. Garner made a few remarks on "Music as an Aid to Worship." Bethel A. M. E. Church Morning services were held at 11 a.m. m. Processional by choir, "In the Cross of Christ I Glory"; devotional; plate offering by selection by chair; How I Love You Foundation; preaching by Rev. S. W. Wigfalt; subject "P Peace I give unto you"; general collection; recessional by choir, "Saviour like a Shepherd lead me." Sunday school 2 p. m.; conducted by C. R. Rahming, superintendent. A. C. E.

St. Martin's Chapel Services on last Sunday were marked by great spirit and were well attended both morning and afternoon. Five new members joined the church and the congregation now numbers 300 contributing members, and they are the for the short space of three months. Mr. Johnson spoke at both services. The morning text was St. Mark 16:16, subject, "Does it really matter what a man believes?" The vicar took the position in all essential things, such a man's work, education and religion, it matters much what a man believes, for what he thinks will determine his life. Flowers upon the altar were given by Mrs. Lena Burns in memory of her husband who was lost in the Linseed. Oil boat tragedy; about a year ago. Young People's Association served tea after the 4:30 service, and many of the congregation remained to become better acquainted. St. Paul Bapt. Church Mrs. H. A. Booker, as directress, Mme. V. E. Scott, organist, with C. B. Simmons, president of the choir, are all working together to make our choir, second to none in the city, unite the choirs of the choir rang in such strains of music that all hearts rejoiced. Miss Frances Quinion, having charge of the program of Wednesday night's service of B. Y. P. U., aroused great interest, and aside from the splendid numbers, had a big audience at the preceding group. This way of working to see who can get up the best service is having its effect on the young people's work. Thursday night, Rev. B. Bonapart, pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church, came down with Mrs. Bonapart, and preached a helpful sermon on prayer for the sick. Rev. Bonapart for his help at this time, and will return the kindness when called upon. Friday night, after the week had been filled with activities in the church, John M. Ware and Luther Gubb led a consequent meeting, in which the members entered heartily. Sunday was a busy day; for the pastor and all others. He preached three times as follows: 1 a.i. m. Paul, "The Dimensions of Christ's Brooklyn," of the Brooklyn "Stability of The Christian Church," this being the 45th anniversary of that church; and in the evening, at St. Paul, "The High Priestly Work of Christ." The church is looking forward now to the great corner stone services to be held on the first Sunday in June, when the indoor service will be held at 3 p. m., in Salem M.-E. Church, and the out door service on the grounds of the new church now being erected, on Prince Leo, R. & R., jointly with the State Convention, will lay the corner stone. St. James Pres. Church In the absence of the pastor, Rev. William Lloyd Imes, from the pulpit of St. James Church during the latter, part of May, the following week, on May 20, the Rev. J. Vance Melver, of Bethany Presbyterian Church, Englewood, N. J., preached, and brought a special message to the Mystic Star Lodge, Scottish Church, the evening service.

From the text in 2nd Timothy 4:13, Rev. Mr. lues appes content with the lower levels of living, but to make life creative and joyous, with robust service. WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH honor of visiting the church of which his father, Rev. Benjamin Albert Imes, for twelve years was devoted pastor in Memphis, Tennessee, the Second Congregational Church, and where a memorial window has been placed commemorating that pastorate.

He said that in healing the sick, one is helped by the power of God, only because he is sick. He said that one should both pray and take medicine when ill. He also made a valiant plea to the professional and business people to come into the church and use their influence for good rather than stay away and criticize those who are in the church. He outstanding thought from his sermon was the expression, "God can use consecrated ignorance better than unconscereated intelligence." In keeping with the Golden Jubilee of the church; there was a Gold Rally. All members and friends requested to give gold contributions to the church, following William H. Worthham, chairman, 'following an eloquent speech by one of its leaders, gave to the church $300, for which the church sincerely thanked them. Following this was given to the church gold; giving gold money or its equivalent and the old members of the church (even if unable to give) will be enrolled on a scroll, which the church will prepare and frame so that future generations shall see who celebrates the occasion in memory of Mt. Olivet, Baptist, Church. The B. Y. P. U. session was held by the Juniors. There was an enjoyable program including as speakers Mr. Poston, who spoke on "Why young People Fall," Dr. Vallace Sacrine, and Mr. Saunders "Sacrine Sacrifice," and Mr. Saunders. At the evening service, J. T. H. Hill spoke from Matthew 21-3, "And if any man say ought unto you, you shall say. The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them." Subject, "Man's Answer to the Question," and our talents and influences. We should be willing to let Him use us to His glory and lift up Christ. He spoke of Sunday a, the Lord's Day; of Christ's Resurrection, of John's vision, of the Ascension, etc., as taken week on the first day of the week. He was penetrating and enlightened by all. There was another Gold March by those who did not give their contri-butions at the morning service. The Throat Board presented gold of gold total. Total collection for the day was $1,833.74; of this amount was $2,144.50 in gold and $1,871.66 reported from the Reunion Committee. Total amounts of gold will be given later, as there will be more gold given next Sunday.

R. Lawton. The Willing Workers will hold a musical concert and strawberry festival Friday evening, May 25. Carrie Jones, president. Salem M. E. Church Burden hearing was the theme of the sermon preached Sunday morning at Salem Church by Dr. Samuel Beane of Los Angeles, Cal., who is visiting the city. Sparking from Galatians 6:2 and 5th verse, in which St. Paul says first, "Bear Ye one another's burdens," and then "Bear your own burdens," Dr. Beane explained that while the Apostle's statements may seem contradictory, in truth they express all that is vital in Christianity, and that is why great underlying principles that reveal the mystery of the scheme of salvation for the human soul," Dr. Beane stated.

Church 2nd Anniversary Of Rev. Porter W. Philips At Brown Mem. Church With religious, and literary exercises held each night from Sunday to Friday, the Brown Memorial Baptist Church, 629 Herkimer street, Brooklyn, celebrates the second annual service, the Rev. Porter W. Phillips as its pastor. Among the participating individuals, churches and organizations were Berean, Bethel and Bethany Baptist Churches; the Brooklyn Mission (Inc.), the Sons of Virginia (Inc.), and the Society of Daughters of Virginia; Revs. J. A. Manning, Kimball Warren, O. M. Waller, Timothy White. Dr. J. W. Hamlin, pastor of the米尔顿 Baptist Church preached the anniversary sermon from First Timothy-5:18. The church has been newly decorated. The new pews and lights lent comfort and attraction. Rev. Phillips resides, at 625 Herkimer street, with a daughter, W. Phillips, two sons and a daughter of two years. Concord Baptist Church Significant to no small degree was the closing of the Week-Day School of Religious Education occurring Wednesday, May 16. On Wednesday night, at the regular meeting of the Wm. T. Dixon Progressive Christian School, he presented as a surprise to Miss L. Frances Phillips, religious-work secretary of the church, for her services in directing the play, "Joe" presented Thursday, May 24. "A man's Christianity is not sincere, said Alderman Fred Moore, editor of The New York Age, at the Friday evening meeting, "when it leads him to pass, by the store of the church, to his white enemy." Neither is his race pride of worth when he fails to see that he is relegated to the lowest jobs, or none at all, as on the $25th street, and yet, furnishes sixty to ninety per cent of the trade for those very stores, and seeing it does not resent it by building his own vision in resistance is he sends his children to school and college but prepares no job for them to fill when they graduate. Mr. Moore, by his wit and statement of fact, impressed the audience with the absolute necessity for making Christianity operate in the field of economics. Sunday morning, Dr. Frederick M. Gordon, executive secretary of the Brooklyn chapter of Church preached the eighty-first anniversary sermon of the church. He said that the purpose and task of almost every known religious organization is twofold, first, enlistment; second, education. This task is too great for any one group to handle therefore all denominations ought to and are going to do these two things, enlistment and education. Federation of Churches stands for unity of purpose, not belief, creed or method. Through it the individual churches and denominations can fulfill their Christian obligation to hospitals, jails, courts, the unemployed and impoverished as they cannot do alone or separated. They can break the crime wave only through their "Therefore," plained Dr. Gordon, "let's work together for the coming of the kingdom." The pastor spoke in the evening from the subject, "These Febble Jews," drawing, with his clear style, the message for the church and day in which we live. The anniversary celebration of Concord Church, and the seventh of James B. Adams, was concluded during a morning with the animated type of service by Rev. T. S. Harten, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church, followed by a reception and banquet; Bridge St. A. M. E. Church "Comfort for Feeble Saints" was the topic of the associate pastor, the Rev. James A. Manning, at the morning James. The "text was Isaiah Dr. Manning stressed the thought that he must unchangeable and is the God of all an order cradle to old age. He will be the comfort of all that serve Him in spirit and in truth. Several new members joined the St. Louis, Mo.-Following the election to the A.M. Zion巾opic of Drs. F. M. Jacobs Brooklyn and the Zion general conference proceeded quietly with the election of general officers and the officiary of the women's home and foreign missionary department.

In the afternoon the members of the Bridge Street Relief Society headed by their president, Henry S. Robinson sr., will make their first visit to the Home for Aged Colored People. Tyler has returned from the general conference, where he was leader of the New York State de- laboration. Dr. Manning has been in charge of the pulpit and has acquired himself with great credit. The membership has increased in that time, and the regular members' were in large numbers to all services. With the closing of the day, Sunday, Rev. H. B. Norville, pastor in charge of Fleet Street Church during the absence of the pastor, Rev W. C. Brown, finished his work of service that day. All that was done by Rev. Morville was done in a true spirit, in high and worthy way. His earnest was done with graciousness and courtesy, comparatively, as the cost in whose position he filled. Still there has been said and will be said, justly, of the worthy servant and its work whose outward expression I have tried too hard to do right. No less is to be said of the officers filling the positions of the Sunday school superintendent, Frank A. Ray and Christian Endeavor president, Mrs. G. C. Brown, all of whom were in attendance at the quadraterminal meeting of the A. M. E. Zion Church. At the morning service, Rev Henry E. W. Blossom, pastor of Ralph Avenue Ar. M. E. Zion Church, preached a strong and impressive sermon, and was also a visitor at the Sunday school session. The communion sermon at three clock was delivered by Rev. P. H. Jones, a splendid number of the Lodge Sunday. Rev. Norville was the speaker at the evening service. The Sunday school anniversary will be held on Sunday, May 27, at the regular session.

Dave Myers and Phil Edwards Star For N. Y. U. In Middle Atlantic Meet Haverford, Pa.—David Myers, of football fame, established a new record in the javelin throw, and Phil Edwards equaled the half mile mark in the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate A A. hed here Friday and Saturday, May 18 and 19. Phil Edward's brother, King Edwards, was also a star, being one of the winners in the 220 yard dash. The victories of these three Negro members of the team were largely possible for New York University winning the championship, the first time in the history of this institution. Myers tossed the javelin 183 feet 9 3-4 inches, heating the old mark of 180 feet 9 1-2 inches made three years before by Montgomery of Haverford. N. Y. U. also had the second winner in this event, Frederick-Veit. Myers also qualified in the 220 yard low hurdles.

Bourglass Junior High Track Team Completes A Successful Season The track team of the Frederick Douglass Junior High School, Dr. Jacob M.

S.157 Makes Good Showing In Hudson District Track Meet At the 50th annual indoor games and physical training demonstration of the Hudson District Athletic League, Saturday, April 28, in the 102nd Regiment Armory. The John Hancock School, P. S. 157 Manhattan took third place among 6B Schools. To place third was quite a feat for a school that could claim only a year's membership in the league. Twenty-eight boys representing the John Hancock School went in the meet determined to win the race in which they were entered. They were partly rewarded, for they captured first place in the 115 pound relay, and third place in the 90 pound relay. In the 75 pound relay race, the third runner of P. S. 157 was bumped so hard by an opponent that the baton was dropped during the passing. The lead against the fourth boy was too great to be cut down, and he missed placing by less than a yard. The misfortune of the 90 pound relay team was not quite as disastrous, yet it might have, proved fatal had it not been for the grit and determination of the boys. The second runner did not locate his team-mate in time to give him the lead which he had, and the third boy was started away handicapped by six yards. He made up two yards of the distance before he passed the baton to the fourth boy who started away in fifth position. Yard after yard was cut down and by passing two boys he was enabled to place third. At the crack of the pistol for the 115 pound relay, Smith took the lead and there never was any doubt as to the result, even though Powell gave the crowd a scare, when it seemed as though he would be tied up in the passing. He soon cleared himself and made up part of the lead he had lost. Boston, the third runner received the baton in third position, he bore down, and when he had covered half his distance he was at the rail leading by a yard. He was never overhaulied and continued to gain until he was able to send Curtis, the anchor man off with a lead or four yards. The race then seemed overwith for the fleet footed Curtis opened-up a burst of speed to break the tape ten yards ahead of the nearest runner. George B. Overton is the coach of the track team.

Norman Thomas Quintet Stars at Palace Theatre (From The Herald-Tribune) Although it lacks comedy relief, the vaudeville program at the Palace last week was practically everything one could desire in the way of music, song and dance. There are several featured names on the bill, but this reviewer encountered the most enjoyable moments while th stag was occupied—and how it was occupied—by the Norman Thomas Quintet. This group of Negro song and dance men can out-play, out-sing and out-dance an airline group, men's music hall or night club this season. Their music is furnished by a pianist and drummer, two of them do clog and buck dances and the fifth is the singing member. Each is a master of masters' at his bit and the drummer gives an exhibition that could only be equalled by St. Vitus attempting to play a quiet chess game. Lon Chaney's Latest Picture at the Douglass A sensational "holdup" of a New York' night club, staged from police reports and newspaper accounts of, a similar occurrence, is the big thrill given by Lon Chaney and a large cast as one of the details of "The Bib City", Chaney's new Metrol Goldwyn-Mayer vehicle, commig to the Douglas this Saturday for four days.

SHOULD HARLEM INITIATE AND SUPPORT MTS OWN’ MUSICAL ACTIVITIES INSTEAD OF RALLYING TO-AID-AND ABET OTHERS? * —\ _ wd bit of curiosity has been aroused in Harlem by a propo: sion advanced by Dr, Sigmund Spaeth, a distinguished white musictan, who hay visited the community twice within recent days for the pur- pore uf anteresting colored musicians in ‘operations of the Contmunity Convert Curporation of New York, of which he is the managing di- rector Inahihty to be preseut on either of the occasions when Dr, Spacth came to Harlem limits this writer's knowledge of the scope and pur-| pose of the movement, as well as of the.area of its operations, But from 4 statement prepared by De, Spacth's representative, published jn tlus column May 12, itis gleaned that the corporation proposes to enroll season memberships at a stated sum, reported to be $5, for, which the subscriber ‘will be entitled to admission to a series uf con-| certs i which “world famous artists” will be presented, Some of the falks interested in Harlem musical doings are in- clmed tu be skeptical ag to the advisability of Harlemites putting their miouey itty such a proposition as this, in which the control of activi- ties 1= entirely Nordic, arguiny that all” of the subseription fund will be taken out of the community, and that there will be no tangible benciit to Negso artists, Going a step further, they declare that stich fa moxement, to be of real beneht to: the race, should be engineered and directed by Negroes themselves. - = (ne of the community’s most active workers in welfare and cule tural promotions, and one of its most prominent citizens, declates that jhe -ves to reason why the Negro thusigians and niusic lovers of Harlem ~ should wait for some Nordic proposition of this sort to arouse them to umted endeavor, ‘That there are musicians, men and women, in the community who possess suffcicut knowledge ardistically, and acumen commercially, 10 promote themselves such a movement, and that after, itg organuation its offerings mixht be laid before the people of the en- tire city as a purely Negro achievement, \ + Aduutting the soundness of this argument, it is pumted ont that the prospecttts of the Commumty Concert Corpvration docs not ap- pear to indicate an organization limited by racial lines, but that its activi- ties are intended to embrace every nationality included in the polyglot population’ this great city. : F | The plan of the corporation, according to Dr, Spaeth, as reported by one who heard him, is that aiter the membership roll is completed; . alist of “world famous artisis will be submitted to thie: executive com- mittee, who will seléct the attractions and the dates” for the various recitals in the different commuoities. _+'Thé sam point at issue, ast apprars to this writer, is as to whe- ther or not the Negro artists, of recognized standing, the women ‘par- “ucularly, dre to be listed by the corporation and given the same op- portunity to appear in other communities as the white artists are to "be nen to be heard in Harlem. According*to such information as. ts available, this has been promised by Dr. Spaeth. Without impugn- ing the wiotive-behind this movement, it must be pointed out that there is lute reason to believe that race artists will be given the recognition to which ‘they are titled. ‘The Age will welcome comment froni ine terested readers on this proposition. ‘This gives rise, at the same time, to speculation upon the cold, hard fact that Harlem lacks an organization of musicians, either «vocal or tustrumental, that ix representative of the entire community. Per- haps the nearest approach to such a body is the Monarch 43 Band, which, under Lieut. Fred W. Simpson, is endeavoring to supply the community's musical needs an # Farge way. But, ‘Monarch 43 and Wan intezeal part of a particular, umt group, with other bands as parts of othe Smular unit groups, and each of these bands is, to same ex- tent, a rial of the other, and would probably fecl, and quite natural- h, equally entitled to “recognition as 4 community represchtaty<. Hut suppose all of these bands were-to unite, on particular oced- sons inte eee cohtesize body, then there Could be no dispute as to its standing, OF course, therg would reinain the matter of leadership, and iis hardly possible to imagine that the band leaders would be able to settle upon one mdividual to serve as, director of the coordinated stoups, « The human equation is still with us. But t hay been suggested that this*difiiculty could be avorded or wvercome by & rotation system—each band leader serving a director vi the combined bands sn turn-as public appearance is made. And this might serve two good purposes—bring all of the instrumentalists into harmonious association, and at the same time spur any of the lead- cre who may be a bit slack in their work to more diligent effort, in fit- hing themselves for the development of their directing ability. The recent benefit concert at Salem M. E.

N. Middleton. I am taking this medicine which he richly merits, and in which of this column will be interested. It: It is just such stories as these, of the Pullman porter and former porter in the Puin welcomes.) This contributor to your column received a letter recently from a friend whom he feels the column should know. The friend is Dr. H. N. Middleton, of 31½ Ninth street, Anderson, Ind, who before coming into possession of the medical prefix, was a Pullman porter. The story of this former porter's success, after many years of struggling, is like a page, from fiction. Ten years ago, there came from Columbia, S. C., to the city of Boston a young Negro man. He didn't come, like many, just to augment the number of Negroes who had left the Southland. Nor did he come simply to say, "I am living in the North now." To him the North meant only a wider and more liberal field in which to attain his goal. In fact, a less ambitious man would have been satisfied with the position and environment which was his in the southern city. In Columbia he followed the trade of tailoring, which he learned while a student at Benedict College in that city, and was a special coaster maker for one of the largest clothing houses in town. But this young man wasn't satisfied to remain a designer of what men should wear and how they should wear it. His real ambition was to acquire a knowledge of how men should live and what they should do to live. So, in June, 1918, the young coaster entered the Pullman service as a porter. It was then that our friendship began. I learned that he was one of a large family, who, before going to Columbia, lived in a small town in South Carolina called Denmark, his birthplace. The head of the family, being ambitious for his children and seeing no outlook for them acquiring an education in Denmark, moved the family to Columbia. The change in environment justified the move. Educational opportunities proved considerably better in the Capital City than those in the hamlet of Denmark. But even the opportunities of Columbia proved themselves limited to the ambition of the young tailor. His aspiration was to be a physician and surgeon. The Pullman service proved one of the mediums by which he was enabled to reach this objective. He worked in this service at different times. His first experience in Pullman work was gained while he was still a student of Benedict College, the time being the summer vacation period. He was not permitted to finish out this season, for it was during the World War, and he was drafted for army service. After being relieved from the army, he returned to Benedict. Finishing at this school, he then returned to Boston, and the following year entered Boston University and the College of Liberal Arts. During his matriculation here, he worked at intervals for the Pullman Company. After finishing at this school, he continued to work as a porter so as to acquire money to enter Meharry Medical College in "Nashville, Tennessee." It took him two years to save enough to get to Meharry. While a student at this institution, he came to Boston every summer and ran as Pullman porter. In 1926, he graduated as a physician and surgeon. Today, the former coatmaker and erstwhile Pullman porter not only bears the title for which he first came North, but he bears the reputation in the Indiana town of having ability not only to tell men how they should live, but the skill to treat them so they do live. Negro history is full of men who, despite disappointments and setbacks during their schools days, have reached their objective, but there is not one of modern times to whom the writer feels more credit should be given for his perseverance in attaining his object than to his young friend, Dr. H. N. Middleton. I am taking this means of paying him this tribute which he richly merits, and in which, I think, the porter readers of this column will be interested. (EDITOR: It is just such stories as these, of the doings and achievements of porters and former porters in the Pullman service that the column welcomes.) Concerning Some Porters Porter W.H.

Finally good porter, Gibson is said to possess one of one's domestic and fraternal life. Pullman evaluates the characteristics of an officer, the praise is not without merit. The crew is one of the column's contributors who good points of those with whom he works, makes these observations. He had a post card last week bearing the words, "Harry". It bore the picture of "King Street." It came from our old friend, Harry B. Borkers and veteran Pullman porter.

When the Pullman can go all the way to Connecticut for a will be different from anything you have ever perhaps so. Anyway, Perkins' promises abide. Those of you who have the time and me. Porter W. H. Gibson, who runs between New York and Chicago on the Twentieth Century Limited, and who, before becoming a Pullman member of this crack train, saw service overseas during the late World War, has proved to be as valuable a member to the Pullman service army as he was to the American Expeditionary Army, according to the appraisement of a fellow-porter. This fellow-porter writes the column that Gibson has brought to the porter's group a personality which exemplifies most strikingly his helpful addition to it. The former soldier is described as a worker who performs the duties of his job with dignity and efficiency; in fact, he combines the two features so thoroughly that his admirer eulogizes him as "oft of the bright stars in the Pullman service firmament." Besides being an exceptionally good porter, Gibson is said to possess a sense of high ideals concerning one's domestic and fraternal life. When one porter evaluates the characteristics of another so highly and so openly, the praise is not without merit. The cullogizer of the Pullman man is one of the column's contributors who observes and reports the good points of those with whom he works. The column always welcomes these observations. We received a post card last week bearing the words, "Good Luck", and signed, "Harry". It bore the picture of "King Street, Christensted, St Gron, V. L." It came from our old friend, Harry Brooks, the music patron of Yankers and veteran Pullman porter. "Rich Brooksey"—some of us are wont to call him—is making a tour of the West Indies. The card was the first news we had that he had gone on one of his annual trips. Still, the information didn't surprise us, for that is the way "Brooksey" does things. J. L. Perkins, whose success as a promoter of dances is well known, invites members of the Pullman fraternity to Roberts Hall, Lakeville, Corn, on Thursday evening, June 21, to the first, annual dance of the Round The Towners of New York. When the Pullman dance specialist was asked why go all the way to Connecticut for a dance, he said, "This dance will be different from anything you have ever seen in Harleston." Perhaps so. Anyway, Perkins promises about dances are usually reliable. Those of you who have the time and money will most likely enjoy it. Penn Terminal Items Samuel L. Page, a well known veteran of this district, who ran for many years on the New York and New Orleans Limited dated at Manhattan Hospital, Ward's Island, May after a long illness. The deceased was a graduate of New York University, and was also an alumnus of a theological school. He elected to follow the vocation of the pulpit porter rather than that of the ministry. The dead veteran is survived by a wife and a son. The funeral was held from the 18th Street Congregational Church, South Long Island, on Sunday, May 18. J. R. Summons, died of pneumonia in Harlem Hospital on May 18, was sick only seven days. The only known relatives to survive are distant kin. Funeral services were held from the understaff of the gorers of Rodriguez and Varel. Interment was in Flushing Center, Flushing, L. I. The deceased had lived at 2407 Seventh Street, this city. E. H.

Practical Pattern Made on Substantial Craft Paper (Not tissue) Smart tailored frocks are en-These fabrics are cleverly striped joying an immense vogue this, and printed, as well as plain col-spring and are accepted by women or. It is astonishing what manu- of discrimination with keen pleas- tucturers are doing to materials in-ure. There is nothing so satisfy- the way of design and combination us as wearing a beige dress of colors ure. There is nothing so satisfying as wearing a becoming dress, and for general use the simple, tailored lines have proven themselves best suited to the majority of women. Therefore every carefully planned wardrobe should include at least one frock, strictly tailored in style. Individuality may assert itself by selecting a fabric that is becoming in texture and coloring. The month of May brings with it many problems for the woman of moderate means, as warm weather demands frequent change of clothing. The woman who can make her trucks at home has a decided advantage, as for little expenditure she may have a varied wardrobe including the modes newest fancies, with a fair knowledge of fabrics and a degree of discrimination, the woman who uses our patterns will find guidance to the and smartness. Not only are our patterns proportioned and balanced, but also the fitness that are fundamental features of a good garment, but they present the "up to the minute" details, the result of constant touch for foremost contours. The outstanding feature to which every woman aspires is the slender silhouette. Even the new note or softness and grace, so evident in the feminine design, can not destroy that desire for straight, heyhair lines. The models sketched today embody every detail of the model and present a choice, any one of which would prove conclusively that costume may be achieved by the home sewer. One instantly recognizes the delightful features that always count so much for smartness, particularly those beloved by women of more mature figures. The diagonal lines, as shown in Patterns 1457 and the side jabot in Pattern 1404 are perfect for large women. There are many interesting fabrics, both as to weave and color, for the development of these frocks. Woodens and silks have equal honor in the fashion world. Jersey and kasha are foremost in popularity among the woolen fabrics, although many very smart frocks are fashioned of lightweight tweeds and flannels. They sound warm, but somehow they aren't. Perhaps because they are so extremely smart, and no women, will acknowledge that she is warm if she knows she is well dressed. SANTAL MIDY PAIN from BLADDER TROUBLE Premply Relieved by Santa Midy Be sure it is Genuine in Midy for the word MIDY Sold by All Daughters Siks for tailored frocks are charming and many old favorites have returned to the fold. It seems that like the prodigal son, everything that has been lovely in the world of fashion, returns softer or later to be warmly welcomed back to the temminte world. One is overjoyed at the display of beautifully printed and plain Kaahai and Shantungts so in evidence, for no other fabric, in silk, produces so stunning a tailored frock other diligently made of silk or cotton, as Paulette, and charming for simple, straight hued dresses. Crepes are quite important, especially the printed crepe, and even these are employed in the development of sports models. Pattern 104 is a lovely version of the printed frock, graceful in line, yet tailored in effect. Interesting things are being done to housedresses, too, nowadays. It may be the charm of the printed tablets or it may be the smart lines that have transformed these necessary frocks from dull unbecoming bits of cloth to smart, attractive creations. Women are glad to wear the bare mini-ideal out of their homes. It is 1999 special of the clever influence in producing a little housedress that will prove a joy to the busy woman who spends part of her time in her home or kitchen. For the younger generation, tashins are decidedly smart, and little trucks are simply adorable with their tiny, short sleeves, their attractively printed materials and their smart details. Those are a wide range of colors and color combinations in flowered designs. One may choose material on which animals chase one another, or on which trees and fruits vie with each other in vividness of color in design. Quince tins, jugs, also, are decorated with colorful tins, on light and dark backgrounds. Pattern 1117 and 1187 are smart versions of tatter-tail models for the fashionable mosaic from two to six years of age. Color for young and older folks, alks, are exquisitely lovely. Plant fabrics run the entire gown, from soft, alluring paste shades to the most vivid and gorgeous of colors. Blues, greens, orchid, heiges, and roses vie with the nays, red violets and tails for first place. One scarcely knows what to select unless one's coloring demands certain shades. Among the prints, the choice is almost unlimited, regarding design and color combinations. Thus, the tremendous advantage of home sewing, when one may have several frocks, of every desirable color for the same cost of one frock purchased in a shop. The frocks pictured, toads, are too to make, and so stunning when made that we describe them with keen pleasure.

The slender silhouette is achieved through the diagonal blouse line. The buttoned blouse repeats its effect in the skirt, accenting the side pleats.

Collar, cuffs and pockets are made of Another particularly smart tailored model is presented in Pattern 1468. The unusual treatment of oval yoke is pleasantly repeated in the skirt section. There are invented pleats that afford graceful fullness as the skirt swings. The sketch shows the collar work open, but it is quite as smart when buttoned close to the neck. Several combinations suggest the selves for the development of the outfit. Two tones of flat crepe use of jersey with silk crepe or two shade of blue are splendid this season.

A narrow belt of the material, or a smart leather belt finishes the frock in chic fashion. May be obtained in sizes 16 to 44.

An unusual pointed tab and jabot treatment on the blouse, finds its way to a smart double, belt effect. These belts hold in fullness through the hipline and fasten oddly by means of two attractive buckles. The inverted pleated skirt is stitched part of the way, thus holding the pleats in place and at the same time forming slender lines of chic. Contrasting bands of plain material offer charging relief to the floral patterns and finish neck, jabot and waistline with lovely simplicity. The woman of larger figure will find this model most becoming. May be obtained in sizes 16 to 144. linen or pique. Many color schemes possibilities are presented in this little model.

Believe me 776 is certainly driving hard for two things: To win the Field Day June 16, and to send the entire troop to camp I happen to know they are practicing every Saturday morning at McCombs Dam Park. I hear 771 is making everything in their program point to camp also. They certainly have some snappy troop and patrol yells that would make any camp sit up and be ready for action. They are trying out for camp bugler this summer. That means a whole summer free of charge for the lucky one. I hear 773 is going to have some real craft work on exhibition at this month's district examinations. 770 is trying hard to re-register and I have the word that Mr. Wilson, who came up as a Scout in 773, is going to take charge as scoutmaster. Gee! thats some record, for not many fellows stay in scouting as long as that. Lets watch Troop 770; I heard plans are under way to a scout parade in our district May 30th, and we may go to the 15th Regiment Armory where there will be memorial services to record of the "Ole - Fighting 15th" in the World War Gee! The camping fever is picking up in the district, I've met lots of scouts who have and are seeking part-time jobs to get their camp tee. If anyone can help these scouts it will be great. Suppose a number of organizations in Harlem would let these Scouts come in and wash windows or clean-up in general for a few cents. That would be district spirit. Saturday night there is a Scout-masters Council meeting and I hope they make everything OK for the Field Day. Say, I just got the word that we have enough scouts in black and white at Manhattan to give our district a 100 per cent registration for the troops we have I saw 770 on the board down-town as due to re-register in March.

According to John William Moses, president, there will be at least 150 West Indian veterans in the parade. Because of the refusal of the Police Department to permit the display of the Allied flags in the parade, it was thought for a while that neither the British Great War Veterans nor the British West Indies World War Veterans would participate in the parade. But since the holiday is primarily to honor the veterans of the Civil War, a display of the flags of the Allies in the late war is not important, say representatives of the British organizations. N.
