Cohen Wins Personal Seat But Loses State Delegation; Perry Howard's Delegates Are All Seated Republican National Committee, In Deciding Contests From Southern States, Favors Mostly The Hoover Factions Kansas City, Mo.—In its hearing of contests from Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi, the Republican National Committee on Tuesday gave most of the seats to delegates reputed to be in favor of the Hoover candidacy. The committee voted to seat the twelve delegates from Mississippi representing the Peryr Howard faction. Howard being the Negro national committeeman whose early negotiations with Rush Holland, Hoover worker, were related to the Senate committee by Holland. the South, would turn the Negro votes in the North and Middle West to Governor Smith and enlarge votes in the election of New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. In New York, Mr. Bean pointed out, Governor Smith has been poll- Cohen A Necessity. Walter W. Cohen, whose boast is that he is ineligible to the Kuklux Klan on three counts, being half Jew, half Negro and a Catholic, fought a losing fight for most of his Louisiana slate, but was seated himself without opposition from the Hoover forces as a district delegate. "We couldn't have a Republican convention without Walter Cohen." Basom Slemp, one of the Hoover managers, and an old member of the committee, urged on the Hoover forces early in the day, so that when Cohen's case was reached, Senator Irving Leenrot, another Hoover manager who is acting as counsel for virtually all of the Hoover contesting delegates, made a graceful motion of fighting side in that particular fight. One of the Geofgia cases hinges over that of the 7th District, it being postponed on motion of the National Committeeman, Mrs. George S. Williams, who said she thought a compromise could be reached by tomorrow. Negro Voto In Danger. The attack now, which is being torched by George W.

Absconder A. Uhlip Randolph, general organiser of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Cat Porters, announces that the Fidelity and Casualty Company of New York, paid up to the Brotherhood a check for $780 to cover the money which D. J. Jones, secretary-treasurer of the Brotherhood in Oakland, Cal., also does with. "This is a concrete refutation of the unfair and vicious rumors and tales spread by Fullman propaganda," the effect that the Brotherhood is unaware of the portery move and that those who handle the money are not bounced," said Mr. Randolph. "It is the policy of the Brotherhood he said, "to have all of the officers who handle funds bounded to the Fidelity and Casualty Bonding Company. I myself am bound although I handle no bonds. The Brotherhood's accounts are held in Stuart Chase, a verified the account of the Labor Bureau, Inc., 2 West 43rd the South, would turn the Negro votes in the North, and Middle West to Governor Smith and endanger, if not lose, the electoral votes of New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. In New York, Mr. Bean pointed out, Governor Smith has been polling a heavy Negro vote by the Democrat, he has as him for Governor, and this action favoring the "Lily Whites," he said, would turn more Negro votes to the Democratic ticket. GRAND JURY TO INVESTIGATE THE SESOM'S KILLING Ptarolman Reilly Is Held Without Bail On Homicide Charge Patrolman Charles J. Reilly, a patrolman attached to the 135th street police station, 16th Precinct, walked his beat for more, than two weeks after he had shot and killed James Sessoms of 61 West 135th street. But last week he was stripped of his shield by Capt. Noble and held by Magistrate Corrigan in Homicide Court without bail to answer to a homicide charge. On Tuesday, May 15, Sessoms was shot in the back by Reilly, who claimed at the time that his victim and others were making a disturbance and failed to move on when ordered by him to do so; that Sessoms grabbed his (the policeman) night-stick and was assaulting him with it, and that he fired in self-defeis. Friends who were with Sessoms denied this and said that Sessoms was walking away from the cop when the latter fired Sessoms was taken to the Harlem Hospital, diving a few hours later. The New York Age was called upon by the dead man's brother and a group of friends, including those who were with Sessoms, and they were advised to secure what ever evidence was available, together with witnesses. Dr. Hudson J. Oliver, exalted ruler of Monarch Lodge of Elks, No. 45 which the dead man belonged, immediately took charge of the matter and carried it to Thomas O'Neill, who directed Dr. Oliver to take the matter to District Magistrate Banton. The latter turned the case over to Assistant District Attorney John P. McGovern, who laid it before Magistrate Corrigan on Thursday, May 28. The Magistrate, after twelve witnesses had testified that the shooting was unjustified, declared that it was clearly a matter for the Graud Jury, and ordered Reilly held without bail.

Body Was Entombed Just Five Days To The Hour; Recovered May 29 At 10 P.M. Just five days, almost to the hour, after the body of little 10-year old Charles Killingsworth, the lad who was buried beneath 400 tons of earth, rock and timbers, when the cave-in of the Washington Heights subway occurred at St. Nicholas avenue and 148th street on Thursday night, May 24, was coffined beneath the avalanche, the diligent and sustained effort of the workers was rewarded by its recovery. The catastrophe occurred just about 10 o'clock in the evening, and it was approximately the same hour on Tuesday evening, May 29, when tireless watchers, who hung over the 65-foot pit in which, was entombed Charles' body, who peered over the roof of the apartment house at 746 St. Nicholas avenue, where his broken-hearted mother and distracted father were awaiting with what fortitude they could summon for news of their only child, saw a group of workmen, on top of the mass of debris below them, put their crowbars under the edges of a huge boulder and strain their muscles to turn it over.

In the group were Mr. and Mrs. Body Under Boulder. After a few moments of desperate struggle, the inert mass began to give to their efforts, and as its upheaval under their united efforts carried it up and still further up, there was revealed to the straining eyes of other workers standing a little to one side what appeared to be a cavity or pocket under the big rock. And as a final effort carried the boulder to one side, there in the cavity was disclosed the body of the lost boy, almost erect, as though he had simply slid 'down a hill to foot foremost. In his hand he still held the apple which the had gone into the store above to purchase just before the fatal slide, and other than slight scratches on his face, such ordinary midge, and a slight protrusion of the tongue, there was no evidence of bodily damage. Quickly the watching hosts discovered that the body had been found, and as quickly the cry echoed in the still night air, reaching the anxious ears of the mother sitting in her room on the seventh floor of the apartment house. 'They are bringing the boy's body up!' Body Lay In State. And then little Charles came once more to the earth's surface, but only to be taken away at once to the undertaking parlors of James Veal, 145th street and Seventh avenue, to be prepared for its last earthly resting place. Wednesday evening, the doors of the undertaking parlors were opened, and hundreds of people; school mates of the dead boy, friends of the parents, neighbors and others attracted by sympathetic interest, filed in solemn measure into the room where the body Iay in state. So great was the crowd that a police detail was necessary to prevent congestion and confusion. The body was encased in a beautiful, but simple front couch caselcovered with white embossed velvet. In his hand was placed a bunch of white sweet peas, typifying the innocence of childhood. The body was shipped on Saturday morning, June 2, to Columbia, S. C., the home of the paffens, Mr. and Mrs. Killingsworth, for interment. Buried In Columbia. S. C.

BLUNT TRIES TO SMIELD GIRL WHO GAVE HERSELF UP Wounded Cabaret Owner Denies She Instigated Murderous Attack Jesse Blunt, the 4-F's Cabaret owner, who was shot four times by an unknown white man after he had ridden in a taxicab from the cabaret at 652 Lenox avenue to the front of an apartment house at 134 Haven street, Washington Heights, refused to identify Mrs. Gladys McCarrier, 20-year old white woman who acknowledged having accompanied him on the ride, and who gave herself up to the police as instigator of the attack on Blount. Blunt's attorney, Rudolph L. Clertung, gave out the statement for Blunt, who is said to be improving at the Columbus Extension, 457, 163rd street, where he was taken on the shooting. Blunt said: "I had seen some She had gone into the house and I was back in the taxi we had ridden in when this, white man ran up with a gun. I thought it was a holdup and started to get out. Then he fired. I dodged back into the cat and tried to get out of the other side. This white man ran around and pumped lead into me, firing through the door." Woman Refused' Bail. Blunt, in spite of the woman's confession that she had been living with him for some time, and that her white friends were avenging heatings that she alleged she had received from the caharet owner, declared that she had nothing to do with the shooting, although he admitted that he recognized the man as one who had come to the 4-F's Cabaret on one occasion with Mrs. McCarver. The police have been told that the man referred to is the son of a wealthy Buffalo merchant, and an searching for the man in that case. Notwithstanding Blunt's attitude, which, police say, is due to fear of future recrimination from the white gangsters with whom the girl seems to be acquainted, Magistrate Vitale in Washington Heights Court has refused her lawyer's pela for bail, and is holding Mrs. McCarver for further hearing.

C.—Speaking before a large audience which packed the auditorium of Schofield Institute to overflowing, and stood crowded in the aisles and on the outside (the leading, President Benjamin F.

President Hubert's subject was "The Keys to Success"—Vision, Education, Willingness to Work, Optimism of Spirit and the Ability to Work with Others, along with a share of common, everyday sense. (The subjoined article, appeared in the Atlanta, journal on May 8 The writer is one of the best known white newspaper writers in the South, having been a special writer and editor of some of the leading dailies, particularly in Georgia.) By JOHN T. BOIFEUILLET In the political excitement at Washington, D. C., and in Chicago over the prospect of a Negro, Oscar de Priest, being elected a representative in Congress from the first Illinois district, the first Martin B. Madden, recently deceased, I am impressed to recall that the, Macon, Ga., district was once, in the reconstruction era, represented in the national house by a Negro, and that a native born Negro of Macon, after occupying prominent offices, was elected to the United States Senate, in which he received regular pay, I do not know for what length of time, and mileage. It is my impression, but I may be mistaken, that no other Georgia district ever had a Negro representative in Congress. This Congressman was Jefferson Long, a tailor in Macon, but born in Crawford county. He was elected as a Republican, defeating the white Democrat candidate. He took his seat January 16, 1871, and served until April 1871, brief of service two months. However, he drew full pay and mileage. He was a delegate to national and state conventions. Long was an astute political leader, and had powerful influence not only with his own race, but with Republicans generally, particularly during the reconstruction era. He was intelligent, always polite, a good stump speaker, tail and nearly a mulatto in color. There were a number of dramatic incidents in Long's career. Long was the father-in-law of H. A. Washington, who was appointed by President McKinley United States internal revenue collector, and held the office for thirteen years. The native born Macon Negro who was elected a United States Senator was Pinkney Benton Stewart Pinkback, in have heard that the senator had been Charles Pinkney, the celebrated South Carolina statesman and diplomat. The Benton was for Missouri's famous United States Senator, Thomas Hart Benton. I have no suggestion as to the Stewart. Pinchback removed to Louisiana. He was a lawyer by profession. He served as captain in the Union army during the War between the States, and then became a powerful Republican leader and high office holder in Louisiana. He was a State Senator, a U.S. senator-governor, and 2 an acting governor during Warmoth's impeachment December and January 1872-3. Incident to the political turmoil in Louisiana, two legislatures sat in January, 1873, and he was named by one for United States Senator for the clerk beginning March 4, 1873. The seat was contested and decided against Pinchback, March 8, 1876. Subsequently, he was made surveyor of customs at New Orleans. Pinchback became national Republican convention from 1868 until his death, some twelve or more years ago. Was it an attempt to anger, or embarrass, or discredit Alexander H. Stephens by deliberately arranging for Robert B. Elliott, the Negro congressman from South Carolina, to congressman (or congressman) Stephens in the session of 1874? The incident happened very soon after Mr. Stephens' return to Congress, following the close of the War Between the States. An unintentional consent was asked that Mr. Stephens house at length, without being limited by the hour rule. Representative Ebenezer Rockford Hoar, of Massachusetts, stipulated that the consent be granted provided Elliott be allowed the same privilege in order to reply to Stephens. In the language Rockford Hoar gave to his brother, George Friable Hoar, the eminent Senator from Massachusetts, "This could not be decently refused, and that was granted also." Mr. Stephens delivered a carefully prepared oration, which contained powerful constitutional argument. The Negro Elliot then made his speech. The two Hoar brothers were bitterly antagonistic to the Confederacy, and all thereunto, appertaining Mr. Stephens had been vice-president of the Confederate States. South Carolina was the home of secession, the first state to secede. Representative Hoar displayed his prejudice by being unwilling to grant unanimous consent to the great southern patriot, unless like privilege he accorded a Negro from the mother of secession. Representative, E. R. Hoar* had been judge of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, Attorney General of the United States in Grant's cabinet, and held other prominent public offices. His brother, Senator George Frisbie Hoar, had presidential aspirations, and he constantly sought the favor of leading southern Negroes. For instance, one afternoon, during a temporary absence of Vice-President John F. Kennedy, Senator Hoar was called chair, President he saw Blanche K. Bruce, the Negro Senator from Mississippi, in his seat, and Hoar invited Bruce to take the chair. This was the first time in the history of the United States. Senate that a Negro ever presided over that body. Senator Hoar was permanent chairman of the Republican convention of 1880, and he called Bruce, who was a delegate, to the chair to preside for a while. Hoar be said he thought it would be an excellent opportunity to confer an honor on a worthy colored man in the presence of royalty. A prince, a son of Queen Victoria, and was on the platform convention, and was on the platform convention he Chairman Hoar at the time he called Bruce to the chale. Due to the suggestion and influence of Senator Hoar, John R. Lvneh, another Negro from Mississippi, was chosen temporary chair- man, the "keynote," of the National Convention of 1884. It was held in New York with whom he served in the house Senate. Lyph was the ablebler. There have been two Negro United Senators, Blanche K. Bruce and Hiram R. Revels, both from Mississippi. I have seen it stated that the Negro representatives numbered about twenty. MAIN AUDITORIUM LAFAYETTE PRES. CHURCH REOPENED Lincoln Grad Preaches Fine Sermon To Large Congregation Jersey City, N. J.-The main auditorium of Lafayette Presbyterian Church was opened Sunday morning, June 3, for the first time in nine months, and presented a beautiful appearance after having been thoroughly renovated and beautifully decorated, the bulk of the work being done during the last three weeks. The church was crowded to capacity with an enthusiastic and appreciative congregation who gave a cordial welcome to the Rev. A. R.

Hence, "Watch Maine in September." It is just as axiomatic that the way indicated, by the Republican leader-politicians is the route of the Southern Negro delegations when voting time comes in the Republican National Convention. Therefore, to get on a line on whom the bosses want for President, or at least don't want, keep both eyes on leaders of Southern delegates. It was so away back in 1896; it was so last December when the National Committee met here to select the city for the National Committee there was no official opposition to San Francisco the four Negro Members of the National Committee voted for the Metropolis by the Golden Gate. But the moment that Chairman Butler decided on Kansas City, all the Negro Committee members except Mr. Boone, Mississippi, swung to and stuck to the City on the Kaw. Showing The Way. In the yesteryear of 96 the people wanted Thomas B. Reed to get the nomination. The politicians decided on McKinley. The Negroes were Ofer McKinley! In 1908, President Roosevelt, firmly in the saddle, determined the Gonzalo Tall, his successor, the Hitchcock, subsequently Taft's Postmaster, scoured the woods of "Ban" on Taft's account. The Negroes were for Taft. He got the nomination and election. When 1912 rolled around, the "Emperor Theodore" felt the dynamic urge and decided to take back the throne. He had defied the old gods. Reckoning with his thirst—of the ravaged. But the hosts were of the "old gods" and Taft; so Taft got the place—and the air, in November. In 1920 the Negroes were with the "old gods," whose benefice was shed upon the late lamented Harding, and in 1924 they stuck to the "old gods" and the cabal who been sidetracked by overnight shift of the National Convention from Chicago to Cleveland. A Hectic Campaign. Perhaps, of all pre-Presidential campaigns, this of 1928 is the most hectic for the sign seekers; and the mysterious Coolidge has been as tight on showing the brothers a sign as were the Canadian priests on the callous demands of Sir Gilbert Parker's "Charlie Steele." This, in all probability accounts for the admission of doubt of the Hoover after taking his money, made to the Senate campaign-expense investigating committee by National Committee-then Howard of Mississippi -and Davis of Georgia. As late as Christmas of last year and as early as February of this year, National Committeeman Perry Howard, Mississippi, was giving interviews to the daily press about the need for a new secretary must be drafted. Then he swung over to Hoover. He testified that he has received over $4,000 from the Hoover people, with another thousand still due, to carry on among his delegates the career of the secretary. But in March, subsequent to receipt of some of the money, Mr. Howard was quoted in the Washington Post as accusing the Hoover people of financing the lily-white fight to unhorsen him. And he is doubtful of his ability to defend himself. He has evidently got the sign; the "old gods" want none o' Hoover. Georgia Is Doubtful National Committeeman Ben J. Davis succeeded to the mantle of the late Henry Lincoln Johnson who died in 1925. Until his recent appearance before the Senate "snopers" an since January, Mr. Lincoln testified to the "snopers" that he got $2,200 from the "Hoover folks," but is threatened with a revolt among his delegates who accuse him of getting money, and not "whacking" up among them. Consequently, Mr. Davis doesn't seem to be at Kansas City—the "old gods" want none of the Commerce Secretary. In 1908, when there was a rush for arriving delegations at the Chicago Convention, the late Henry Lincoln Johnson took the Georgia delegation there "interact" in a speeches train, which took out of Cincinnati, and many of the delegates required hospitalization upon arrival at Chicago Of course, they were hospitalized together; This kept away delegate hustlers for other candidates for the nomination for President. And, by a peculiar coincidence, only a georgian who ran Roosevelt in the present National Committeeman, Mr. Davies, Of course, that was twenty years ago. Mr. Johnson got the sign early. Evidently Mr. Davis was late getting it twenty years afterwards. So from this wobbling of the Southern leaders those who bet get a good tip, namely, that Hoover's "gods" it is believed by many that if and when a deadlock comes the politicians will spring Coolidge "As Maine goes in September November." Such is an Hence, "Watch Maine in as axiomatic that the way an leader-politicians is the agro delegations when vot-publican National Convention line on whom the bosses least don't want, keep bothern delegates and, while enthusiasm is at its height, stampede the convention into nominating our Ambassador to Mexico, the Hon.

It is true that the death rate of infants is greater in the time than an any other time of the year. Why? The basic cause of the difficulties is the heat of summer. You know in your own case, mother, that the babies are cared for at home; you know you are languid, depressed, depressed. Think then what it must do to an infant who has not completely organized system of regulation of his own bodily heat. CLOTHES; It is amazing how some mothers will swathe their babies in woolens and excessive clothes in summer. If it is very hot, a diaper and shirt are sufficient protection. Indeed protection is not needed. You can acustom your baby to no-cloak without any harm to him. HEALTH IS HERE By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association The Daily Half-Dozen Why should we drink from six to eight glasses of water daily? We are being told constantly that we should drink this amount to keep healthy? And some of us strive faithfully to take the prescribed six or eight glasses. Naturally we like to know why our health demands this. First, the body is composed largely of water. The blood, the tissues, and in fact, almost every part of the body contains some water in its composition. Water makes up about 60% of the body, and this proportion must be maintained. Then, water dilutes the blood and lymph and keeps the membranes moist. It helps to regulate the body temperature by cooling the body through perspiration. Another very important function of water is to aid the action of important organs, such as the kidneys, skin, and muscles in removing waste material from the body. It thus helps digestion and prevents constipation. These are some of the reasons why we should drink water. Every one should drink at least six glasses a morning as soon as you get up, one force each meal, one between meals and one before going to bed at night. If you like to drink one or two with meals, do so, but do not use it to drink water. Be careful to swallow your food first and then take your water. Miss Anna Welmon Weds Alex.

Strike Echo The District Magistrate, East Godawan, has notified to three Goconada licenses of capes, sulphur and other chemicals three days after receipt of notices why their licenses should not be cancelled, for not opening shops on the day on which the diarist Sir Simon Commission landed in India. Ever since the arrival of this unwanted Commission, Government is in every way harassing the poor, trying to impress upon the people the ability to impose the Commission is a settled fact, and the all opposition, it would go on taking evidence from a few ultro-royalists in the name of whole of India. Sir John Simon received 301 telegrams congratulating them on the success, but no goes the official report, but many such telegrams could be forged, as it was found out that a dead man greeted Simon Commission by sending a wire. Anglo-Indian press gives false reports of the concession of India, and such messages of public opposition and the grim determination of the country to do nothing with this Commission. We are speaking of July and August. The belly-band is unnecessary after the cord has separated. Rubber pants are an abomination, even if they are worn as they are for the frostier sake—and not the baby's. The infants pants should be changed as soon as soiled; his skin sponged off and powdered and a dry napkin put on. All soiled clothing should be put in soak immediately. If a napkin has just been wet, need dry it and replace it on the baby just to save work. The Bath: Keep the baby's skin clean, dray and powdered. A daily warm bath of 80 to 85 degrees is essential. And, in addition, two or three sponges, during the day, allow the water aid in cooling the skin. Dry and powder well the folds of the skin. BABY'S ROOM AND BED: Most of you have not a special room for your baby. However, keep the baby out of the kitchen during summer. Wherever he sleeps, let the room be cool—as cool as possible. This means drawing the shades when the sun is hotter, say from 11 to 3 or later. Keep baby out of doors as much as possible before 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m. If you have a baby in the hood of the infant or child having a fall therefrom, let the baby sleep there; protect him from the sun. Indoors shield him from fires by spreading netting over the crib or bed or basket. In the daytime the child does not need a blanket. Keep the bed clean. Change often to cool bed clothing. If the baby plays on the floor, spread a sheet on the floor. Keep the area. Keep dogs and cats away from the baby. Don't have soiled clothes lying around exposed. Remove the baby from the room when you are sweating and dizzing. THE SICK BABY IN SUMMER: The child's sickness, of summer is diarrhoea. We propose to take up this subject next week. However, we may restate here that observance of the simple rules of care which we have given so far are important to the summer to improve of illness. In summer one should be particularly concerned about vomiting or diarrhoea. Take the advice of your physician. Do not attempt to "doctor" him yourself. Do not give physics to stop diarrhoea. Do not give paregotic to allay irritability. Call in the doctor. For it is amazing how suddenly babies pass out after a seemingly slight diarrhoea attack. You can do whatever you need for the day to stop all food and give the child water—water internally, externally and—we were about to say eternally. Now this is so simple a procedure that you will overlook it—you will err on the side of doing too much. (EDITOR—Dr. Smith will answer some questions relative to the care of your baby.

Washington, D. C.—When Perry W. Howard, Negro, Republican National Committeeman for Mississippi, gave out to the New York daily press the interview in which Howard boosted Congressman Hamilton Fish for the Republican Vice Presidential nomination he struck a popular chord. Most colored folks like the upstanding New York Congressman. But Mr. Howard's boost has also caused a reaction probably unexpected at the time of the interview. It is as to Howard's reason for boosting Fish. It will be recalled that, in "nominating" Fish for Vice President, Howard stressed the popularity of Governor Smith among Negro voters in New York, and suggested that Fish's name in second place on the Republican ticket would keep Negroes, who would other wise support Smith, in the Republican, fold, and prevent danger on New York going Democratic next November.

Shields, of Porteraville, Ala., "my mother gave me the first dose of Black-Draught, and I have taken it ever since, when I needed a medicine for constipation. I have used this remedy all my married life, in raising my children. "I have used Black-Draught frequently for heartburn, as I have had epilepsy of this kind, off and on, for years. This follows indigestion, and indigestion comes close on constipation. "I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught in time. It relieves me of dizziness, tightness in the chest and backache. "By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order. I always keep it in the home, and have recommended it to many people, in my time. I always say a good word for a good medicine." Sold by all druggists.

C.—The Columbia State and the Florentine News Review are sponsoring a reparation fund to be presented to Ben Bessi the once prosperous farmer, recently released, from States Prison after thirteen years, where he was serving a life sentence for an alleged assault on a white woman. The conviction was secured on the testimony of the woman, who a few weeks ago, confessed that she had lied on the witness stand. Governor Richards granted Bessi a parole on May 12, and has since granted him a full pardon. The money already turned over to Bess amounts to more than $300, $60 of which was sent by William E. Gonzales, editor of the Columbia State. The balance was secured from sympathetic persons throughout the state. Bess, according to dispatched from Florence, had only 12 cents when released, and is affected by a deep cough—the last the result of his confinement. A. & T. College Notes Greensboro, N. C.—Cyril F.

THE DAY OF THE TEACHER Following the institution of such special observances Mothers' Day and Teachers' Day, it was only appropriate that a special time should be appointed to offer a meed of appreciation to the teachers. Next to the parents, the teachers exert the greatest influence in forming the characters of their charge through personal contact and influence this is in addition to their regular duties in imparting instruction in the various branches of study laid out for the public schools. Besides the elementary study of reading, writing and arithmetic, two minds of the pupils are unconscious absorbing ideas formative of mankind and morals, based upon the conduct a character of their instructors. Teacher Day is a fitting recognition of the important role played by the teachers in the development of character. The observance of Teachers' Day is farlem originated in Public School No. 1919, and this year Schools Nos. 68 and 69 joined in the celebration. The exercises embraced the usual tributes of the association of the teachers' labors, stressed in prose and verse by great pupils, capable of putting their senior students into such compositions. Many these expressions were marked by an quality of phrasing, while all had a stamp of sincerity. The result show that the children entered heartily in the spirit of the day and took pleasure in manifesting their appreciation of advantages derived from their school. The celebration also tended to promote pleasant relations between the teacher and parents of the pupils, secure the cooperation of the latter in preparation for school work. The institution of Teachers' Day is graceful recognition of the important role played by the teacher in modern civilization. It is well that this fact should be impressed upon all concerned teachers, pupils and parents. It should stimulate the teacher to renewed efforts to give the best of training to the pupils and arouse the parents to their responsibility in seeing that the pupils take advantage of the benefits offered through the public system. The observance of Teachers' Day should emphasize the responsibilities of all concerned to make the most of their opportunities.

Teachers' Day is a fitting recognition of the important role played by the teachers in the development of character PROBLEMS OF THE RETAILER. It has been announced that one of the chief subjects for frank and serious discussion at the approaching meeting of the National Negro Business League, to be held in this city in August, will be the matter of Retail Merchandising. The problems and troubles that are encountered by the small business man who enters retail trade are by no means confined to any one race or section. So serious has become the situation of the retailer in general, that a special survey of his problems has been undertaken through the Department of Commerce. But there are special difficulties that beset the Negro retailer, which might well demand the thoughtful consideration of experienced experts gathered at the business league meeting. The observance of Teachers' Day in Harlem originated in Public School No. 119, and this year Schools Nos. 68 and 90 joined in the celebration. The exercises embraced the usual tributes of appreciation of the teachers' labors, expressed in prose and verse by grateful pupils, capable of putting their sentiments into such compositions. Many of these expressions were marked by originality of phrasing, while all had the stamp of sincerity. The result showed that the children entered heartily into the spirit of the day and took pleasure in manifesting their appreciation of the adavntages derived from their schooling. The celebration also tended to promote pleasant relations between the teachers and parents of the pupils, securing the cooperation of the latter in preparation for school work. One of the major difficulties encountered by racial enterprises is the notion that they demand and deserve patronage solely because of the race or color of the promoter. Racial affinity may be an asset in attracting customers, but it cannot be depended upon to hold them irrespective of the other factors that go to build up permanent business success, such as standard goods at reasonable prices and the right kind of service to customers. It is not sufficient for our merchants and storekeepers to rely on the accident of color to boost their business. As one hard boiled customer was heard to remark, "I'm not buying color. I want what I want of the same quality as I can get elsewhere and at a price that meets my pocketbook. There's no premium to be paid for color." The institution of Teachers' Day is a graceful recognition of the important role played by the teacher in modern civilization. It is well that this fact should be impressed upon all concerned, teachers, pupils and parents. It should stimulate the teacher to renewed efforts to give the best of training to the pupils, and arouse the parents to their responsibility in seeing that the pupils take advantage of the benefits offered them through the public system. The observance of Teachers' Day should emphasize the responsibilities of all concerned to make the most of their opportunities. This may seem to be writing off the sentiment of race pride and solidarity as an asset of little value, but it would be safer for the enterprising man to underrate rather than overrate its value as a drawing power. He should rather concentrate his faculties in the endeavor to master the problems of merchandising by buying standard goods in bulk at low prices and turning them over by quick sales at a reasonable profit. He should acquire the technic of store management, including neatness of person and store fixtures, systematic arrangement of stock, attractive window dressing, and above all efficient and courteous service of customers. Gruffness of manners and curtness of speech may undo the good effect of the best kind of store management and repel customers who look for courteous treatment as an invitation to call again. The value of courtesy as an element of good salesmanship cannot be too highly estimated. RIGHT KIND OF SHERIFF The history of lynching and mobesses has brought into the limelight newspaper notoriety a great variety types in, the men elected to the post sheriff. This is a county officer who directly by the people, though in so states removable by the Governor reliction of duty. A sheriff is the role in most instances responsive to The history of lynching and mob excesses has brought into the limelight of newspaper notoriety a great variety of types in the men elected to the post of sheriff. This is a county officer chosen directly by the people, though in some states removable by the Governor for dereliction of duty. A sheriff is therefore in most instances responsive to the prevailing sentiment of the community that elects him to office. Hence we find sheriffs in a lynching community, who upon the first demand of a mob will turn over their jail keys or surrender a prisoner to a hideous death by hanging or burning, before any court has had a chance to try him for an alleged offence. Others have gone further and taken an active part in the lynching of their prisoners. The ability to meet competition in prices and quality of the goods is often a problem for the small retailer, as the public in general have an idea that they can buy more cheaply from the chain stores. This was disputed by a retailer, who owns three grocery stores. He maintained that a comparison of weights and quality would show that his stores are able to compete with the chain establishments on equal terms. Investigation was invited by experienced shoppers to confirm his claim. Another retailer claimed that on special occasions he had sold such staples as sugar at prices below the chain stores, but the only result was that careful buyers would purchase such bargains from him but get the remainder of their list elsewhere. That was hardly a fair test, as it gave him no opportunity to make a profit on his other lines of goods. The only way to test the ability of the average retailer to compete with chain store prices would be to purchase the entire list of weekly supplies and compare the results on the total cost and quality. If there should be a seeming saving in dealing with the chain store, it may be found that it is offset by some advantage of quality or service offered by the smaller dealer. There is also another type of sheriff, who believes in the sanctity of the law and regard his oath of office as a serious obligation. A sheriff of this kind possesses both physical and moral courage; the first enables him to repel the mob, by force if necessary, and the second fortifies him to withstand the pressure of public sentiment, which too often sustains and encourages the mob. This is why a sheriff of the right kind is seldom retained in office, after he has prevented a lynching. The presentation of a bronze medal of honor to Sheriff Joseph V. Bontemps, at Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, marks an effort to give a worthy peace officer his proper place in public esteem. A little over a year ago Sheriff Bontemps, with thirtynine citizens whom he called as deputies, stood off a mob of twelve hundred men, bent on lynching two Negroes accused of murdering a white man. For his determined stand in asserting the supremacy of the law, a committee of distinguished Southerners awarded him a medal, depicting a heroic figure guarding the Temple of Justice. The committee included the Governor of Florida, a former Governor of Georgia, a representative woman from Alabama and two editors, one from New Orleans and the other from Dallas, Texas. There are many phases of retail merchandising, besides the few above indicated, which are well worthy of candid discussion and searching investigation from the viewpoint of the customer as well as the retailer. That the National This recognition of Sheriff Bontemp's fidelity to duty has a wide significance. It shows proper appreciation of the courage of the sheriff, as well as his ability to arouse his fellow citizens to a sense of public duty in aiding him, instead of joining the mob. It also shows how a small body of men under a determined leader, bent on upholding the law, can withstand a lawless majority. Finally, it indicates the intention of leading white Southerners to popularize the performance of duty by the right kind of sheriff. How successful their effort will be may appear in the next local election for sheriff. At all events the effort is commendable and will undoubtedly have its effect in building up anti-lynching sentiment where it is most needed. THE CASE OF BEN BESS. The Governor of South Carolina has warranted a pardon to Ben Bess who had spent thirteen years in the penitentiary, convicted of assault upon a white woman. The woman in the case recently escaped her testimony upon which Bess was convicted, by signing an affidavit which read, "Since I have not much longer to live, I hereby desire as much as possible to undo the great wrong I have done this Negro, Ben Bess, and I hereby declare my testimony upon the trial of this case to be untrue." All through the years of his confinement, Bess maintained his innocence and leded for elemency. When arrested he was a property owner, but when he left prison he had only twelve cents and a severe cough, contracted during his connement. The editor of the Columbia state sent a check for sixty dollars, to aid a relief fund being collected by the Florence News Review. A special correspondent of the New York World cites the case as "a strange example of the workings of race prejudice." It unobtently illustrates the prejudice encountered in Southern courts, but is not so strange as the correspondent would save it appear. We quote his account: The Governor of South Carolina has granted a pardon to Ben Bess who had spent thirteen years in the penitentiary, convicted of assault upon a white woman. The woman in the case recently recanted her testimony upon which Bess was convicted, by signing an affidavit which read, "Since I have not much longer to live, I hereby desire as much as possible to undo the great wrong I have done this Negro, Ben Bess, and I hereby declare 'my testimony upon the trial of this case to be untrue.' All through the years of his confinement. Bess maintained his innocence and pleaded for clemency. When arrested he was a property owner, but when he left prison he had only twelve cents and a severe cough, contracted during his confinement. The editor of the Columbia State sent a check for sixty dollars, to aid a relief fund being collected by the Florence News Review. A special correspondent of the New York World cities the case as "a strange example of the workings of race prejudice." It undoubtedly illustrates the prejudice encountered in Southern courts, but is not so strange as the correspondent would have it appear. We quote his account: Bess was a substantial farmer and landowner of Florence County. Mrs. Collins and her husband, Frank, the latter now dead, were tenants on the Negro's farm, planting a part of the land. The white people were tenants on the Negro's farm, planting without principle. They associated freely with the Negro and his family. Although there was evidence that Bess and the woman had conducted an affair for some time, there was no objection by Frank Collins until Bess decided not to rent his farm to the white people again. After that Collins and the woman had been clinched it with her testimony against. Bess, Jurors and others say, in official records in the Governor's office, that had there not been grave doubt "whether the unlawful intercourse complained of was committed by force or with the consent of the prosecution" for the death of Bess. Bess guilty at the "fifth trial and electrocuted. The defending attorney, now dead, W. F. Clayton, in a note to Gov. Mēnning, August 4, 1915, that not a lawyer in the court believed the Negro guilty and that a juror was voluntary but "the black scoundrel should serve time for having relations with a white woman." Cases of women perjuring themselves in order to convict men on a false charge of assault are not unknown, even in New York City. Newspaper readers whose memories go back a decade or more can recall the case of Barbara Aub, upon whose testimony a jury cont Cases of wongen perjuring themselves in order to convict men on a false charge of assault are not unknown, even in New York City. Newspaper readers whose memories go back a decade or more can recall the case of Barbara Aub, upon whose testimony a jury convicted a white man of assault. Before the accused was sent to the penitentiary his accuser confessed that her story was false and he was finally acquitted. A similar charge was preferred against a Wall street broker, the woman alleging that the assault was committed in his private office within hearing of his staff of clerks and bookkeepers. Although the accuser was white and the defendant colored, the case was regarded as an attempt at blackmail and he was acquitted. The lesson of Bess' case is that the life and property of any black man in the South may be jeopardized by a false charge of this nature. Even if, as in the case of Bess, he escapes lynching by a mob, he is liable to conviction by a jury regardless of his guilt or innocence, but solely because of color prejudice. The State can make no reparation that will compensate for the time that Bess has spent in prison, and it may be that his confinement has incapacitated him from earning a living. To make the woman's perjury the subject of a grand jury inquiry, would hardly help matters, unless it emphasized the need for caution in acting upon such unsupported testimony. CHURCH VOTES FOR GOODWILL. An interesting commentary on the failure of the various Christian denominations in this country to live up to the message of their divine Founder, enjoining "Peace on earth, goodwill towards men," was furnished in the final action by the Presbyterian General Assembly, which closed last week at Tulsa, Oklahoma. This meeting was held in the center of a region where prejudice against darker races predominates. This feeling, fostered by the prejudices of the Southern delegates, made it necessary for the Negro commissioners to sit apart The recent death in Philadelphia of T. Thomas Fortune marks the passing away of one of the veterans of the Negro press. Although some twenty years have passed since he severed his connection with The Age, it was with this paper that he established his fames as the foremost editor of the race. Mr. Fortune first entered into race journalism as editor and publisher of The New York Globe, in association with George Parker and William Walter Sampson, some time about 1880. A few years later he became the editor and proprietor of The New York Freeman. With his departure for Ohio, this paper was changed to The Age, to which he soon returned as editor. As a brilliant and forceful writer, Mr. Fortune not only made his influence felt in racial journalism, but won a place in metropolitan journalism as well. At one time he held an editorial post on the New York Evening Sun, and became a special writer on the morning paper, then edited by Charles A. Dana. He wrote verse and prose for the Springfield Republican and contributed special articles to the Chicago Record and other out-of-town papers. His energy and versatility found such diverse outlets as the establishment of an Afro-American news bureau and an experiment in the manu-facture of cigars. He was the author of a volume of verse and several other books, one of which "The Negro in Politics," attracted considerable attention. He was the founder of the Afro-American League, which embodied the idea of organized racial effort to fight intolerance and injustice. He took an active part in the formation of the National Negro Business League and espoused the educational and economic principles advanced by Dr. Booker T. Washington: Mr. Fortune, early in his career, demonstrated the fitness and capacity of the race for newspaper work, from the printer's case to the editorial deak. He was a radical exponent of the claims of the Negro for equal opportunity in all avenues of advancement. He was in the front of the fight for equal school facilities in New York State, both for teachers and pupils. He stood for the utmost freedom in politics, espousing the cause of that party which promised the best for racial advantage. He was at his best a forceful factor in the cause of progress. It might be said of him, he fought a good fight, when the battle was raging. THE AGE READERS' FORUM But having made the initial error of holding its annual conference in a place with such a history and surrendered to the prevailing prejudice, the Presbyterian leaders endeavored to show their disapproval of such sentiments by voting for "interracial goodwill and understanding." The report of the Committee on Bills and Overtures, which was adopted by the delegates, made the following declaration of church policy: It seeks always to bear testimony to the fundamental unity of humanity and to practice Christian Brotherhood. It believes that the solution of this, as of all acute problems of social life, lies in the application of the Gospel which is its sole message. The General Assembly has issued a memorandum in due time one of its meetings may be held within the bounds of one of the 'syms' within which both races are strongly represented, both of whom may share in its entertainment, and both of whom may receive the counsel of national missions to that effect. A special correspondent of the New York World said that this report upset the traditions of the Southern delegates, it being taken as the answer of the assembly to the racial prejudices which cropped out at the beginning of the meeting. Oklahoma religious leaders would not admit the implications conveyed The Opportunity To Astone From Times-Dispatch, Richmond, Va. Occasionally some cold and passionless A. P. dispaint furnishes an argument against capital punishment which surpasses anything the most brilliant foes of legal killing could produce. The one before us tells of Ben Bess, the South African agent released after searing thirteen years in prison for an alleged attack on a white woman. The woman found it impossible to let her lying testimony enter its fourteenth year, so Ben has been released on the strength of her affidavit admitting perjury. The Columbia State started a $300 fund for Ben, and this balm for thirteen years of penal servitude has "gone over the top by $64. Gorror Richards, in possession, expressed the hope that the next Legislature would "take steps to right the grave injustices done this Nero." All that can be done will seem pitifully inadequate to atone for so bortesque a blunder, but what if Ben had been executed? or done to him? Or if all of his race have died in South Carolina? An extremely uncomfortable thought which arise is that the wretched woman's confession may be far more unusual than the conviction of the infamous man. Since she has admitted her role, South Carolina may deal with Ben Bess having omitted killing Ben Bess, either legally or illegally. "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness" "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness" From The Evening World. From The Evening World. Thirteen years of his life lost in a fire, for a Negro convicted of assault on the sworn testimony of a. white woman who now, on her deathbed, confesses that her testimony was, untruel. He was a black Negro, and thirteen years ago he had a little property. Now he is all alone, he will when they released him was: "Thank God! I knew some day—How many of us could come out of an ordeal like that with faith and thanks instead of curzes on our lips?" Appropriately the State of South Carolina itself can't do much for Ben Bess, who has spent thirteen years of his life in one of its prisons for no fault of his. But the people of the State of South Carolina ought to be ready to do a Commending the selection of Dr. Algernon B. Jackson by the American Medical Association and the American College of Surgeons, to make a survey of the hospital facilities among Negroes, the Washington Eagle said: With the extension of the requirement by more states for medical graduates to serve at least one year's internship in class III, before being permitted to take the examination medicine, the survey to be made by Doctor Jackson will have the effect of raising the standard of our hospitals wherever they are established. Dr. Jackson enters upon the responsible duties assigned to him. nnn well freighted for the work. With a national reputation as a physician of outstanding ability, a writer on health subjects whose copy is published in the journal of the country, instructor of hygiene at Howard University, his survey will be so capable done that it will command the attention, and be given the respectful consideration, like unto all of Dr. Jackson's work. Having served as surgeon at the Policlinic Hospital, Philadelphia for fifteen years and ten years, and after merger Hospital of the same city for an equal length of time, Dr. Jackson has an "intimate knowledge of the requirements of such institutions." With the tense headline that "The Man Fits the Job," and the Eagle's congratulations upon Dr. Jackson having presented to him this opportunity to, do such a big job along the lines for which he is eminently qualified, all who know him will heartily, concur. Noting with approval the inauguration of the Boy Scout movement among the colored boys of Norfolk, the Norfolk Journal and Guide said: Certainly it is a great opportunity for our boys in Norfolk now to take the privilege of Scout coedding ship and a group of civiliated men have under the tutorship of Mr. O. Louis R. Lester, scout executive of Norfolk, prepared themselves to lead our boys in scoutship. Let them have the unstinted cooperation of the parents and the citizens generally. What has been proved good for boys of other races and communities, also is good for our boys. The act is we might as well be defining the certain group of our boys to make street corners and questionable places their habitats, while we do nothing to provide them with wholesome recreation. "Ah idle mind is the wives' workshop," and "all work and no play makes Jack a doll boy." For us all, and particularly for the young, a mean must be struck between idleness and work. That it has been formed in recreation, something that empowers the mind, though in an actual sense it is neither work nor profitless play. The Scout movement, in the guise of sport and recreation, develops the qualities of self-reliance and manliness. It is good training for the growing boy, to encourage the development of his mental and physical facilities. Discussing "The Negro's Economic Future," the Indianapolis Recorder declared non-employment to be the most serious of many perplexing issues. It continued: Negroes are a larger and larger part of the army of unempired. They are not idle by choice, but by the shut down of factories and the competition of unskilled white laborers, among which most Negro laborers are classed. At the Negro is the last man employed and the first discharged when labor is hired or turned out. A few decades ago there was a plenty of work for unskilled Negro laborers in this community. Today, idle men, who would work, if the work was available, are plentiful. More and more of the unskilled work once done by Negro laborers is now performed by whites. This includes domestic work of women as well as general labor of men. Along with the fact that white men are becoming more skilled in unskilled Negro laborers in the field of laborer, machinery is being used. Machinery is now available for digging. good deal for him. If they are shoit, let them call on the people of other States, The Florence (S.C) News Review is taking up a collection for him. Perjury is always bad enough but she nits does to another what it did to this poor Negro it is notning more of hellish. it is hard to believe that a slave have lived thirteen years with such a sin gnawing at her conscience. When we read the Ten Commandments we pass all too gibly over the Ninth. it is only now and then that she has brought upon us the terrible wretches that can inflicted by those that willfully break it. Ben Bess can testify. Civil Dispbedience The ex-president of the Indian National Congress, S. Shrimig Iyengar, and several others have resolved to start civil-disobedience at Madras on the day when the Simon Commission's order of probilling meetings and gagging the leaders. The world-famous District of Bardoli is again launching a campaign of civil-disobedience against the highlanded government of the revenue of the Government of Bombay. Mr. V. J. Patel jr., is heading the campaign of non-payment of tax-Bargoli, at the time of Ghandhil's arrival in Chaur Chaur tragedies come in the way of Ghandhil. Saturday, June 9, 1928 trephes for, excavating etc., which eliminates a larger and larger number of laborers. The condition that exists in this community is true elsewhere. And future time may see the Negro reduced to a small role in the nation's industrial competition. The Negro people, have time as yet to save themselves. Some co-operative more must be effected to turn some of the profits of Negro consumption of goods into the hands of Negro people and find some actual steps must be taken to develop productive facilities among Negro people. The remedy proposed depends on the placing of Negro capital in productive enterprises, that will further employment to the masses. The masses are also faced with the necessity of combining their means in support of business enterprises. Talking about the names given to school buildings in the District of Columbia the Washington Senatol outlined the following policy as meeting the situation: We make a plea for a policy for the present and for the future. We do not believe that the rutter of erecting a monument to an individual who has passed on to his reward should merely be a matter of obtaining a man of the Board of Education. We believe that some study should be given to the matter. Candidates whose names are submitted for this honor should pass some sort of test analogous to the one used for selecting people for the Hall of Fame in York. The should be different in the degree of contribution to the cause of education in the District of Columbia should be considered—whether or no he is the proper person to be honored in this local manner. Doubtless celebrities and those persons, who have made their mark in the world will not back it. The should use the opportunity to honor the dead and inspire the living by a consistent policy that will not subject the powers that be to the criticism of provincialism or cleanliness. Referring to the appointment by the United States Senate of a committee to investigate alleged charges of graft in the appointment of postmasters and other Federal employees in the South, the Baltimore Herald and Commonwealth said: We hope the gentlemen who compose the investigating committee will uncover any graft, or other irregularity connected with the appointments made in those states under Republican Administrations where color or race is the exclusive test instead of fitness and on account of which Negroes are barred from hiring office although thoroughly qualified. In the meantime as these investigating committees are invested with large and unlimited powers they should, while on the ground, take a peep at the elective laws of those states, the manner and methods applied in the administration of these laws and the means employed to bear Negroes. Georgia, Georgia, 800,000 in Mississippi and 800,000 in South Carolina from a voice in the government, federal, state and municipal, which they are taxed to support. A Senate Investigating Committee in the South will create as much amusement and excitement as the last great comet or the first asteri-place. In the government's first opportunity to get first band and right on the ground facts concerning disfranchisement of Negro voters which it can slow away in its records, the opportunity should not be overlooked. The question is whether there is a Republican Senator with the courage and backbone to uncover those facts and get them in the record. Under the heading of "A Question of Veracity," the Richard Planet undertook to review the controversy between Senator Glass of Virginia and Sidney Sutherland who reported the Senator's views of the Fifteenth and Eighteenth amendment in the Liberty magazine. The Planet said: --- We are gratified to know that Senator Glass has put a true value on his alleged utterances when he characterizes them as depressing but as "a sectional rufian. We did believe that it would have been more effective or the language necessary but even approximately as hard. He even goes so far as to say that he has usually managed to think and talk as a gentleman. Still the very old Virginian does not eligible as to what he did think and so he has not been like to know Senator Glass that position upon this all important subject. He is sworn to submit the War Amendment, and he would feel his seat, in that celebrated United States Senate, will be held himself to this obligation. He has always been regarded by the colored people of this section the "soul of honor." It is people at his age of life he has his children and is still backsliding. Let us hope not. That sounds as if the editor of the Planet was indulging in enjoyment at the expense of a Southern state man of the old school. Saturday, June 9, 1928 THE NEW YORK AGE CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Bethel A. M. E. Church At the eleven o'clock service Sunday morning, the Rev. Dr. A. C.

The officers are Samuel Westfield, temporary president, Miss Elfin Dimmy, temporary secretary. Mount Olivet Baptist Church There was a large attendance, Sunday, June 3, at M. Olivet Baptist Church. The pastor, Rev. W. P. Hayes, chose as his text Romans 1:16: "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, nor of the God unto salvation to everyone that believeth." His subject was "Not Ashamed of the Gospel." His spoke of Paul, who was not ashamed of the gospel. Although Christ was born in an obscure place, His teachings were simple, the adherents and champions of the gospel were "thin-taxed people" (tax-collectors, etc.) and his death ignoble and a disgrace, yet Paul "in the face of all this unpopularity—stood forth and exclaimed, "I am no ashamed of the gospel of Christ." His discourse was penetrating, encouraging and was eloquently ren-dered. His bass sol was excellently rendered by M. E. Forlage. Dr. Sears, ex-secretary of the New York Baptist City Mission Society, spoke before the sermon, encouraging use of the Daily Vacation Bible School for the month of July. The pastor, Dr. Hayes, has been chosen as one of the judges of the school parade in Brooklyn, June 7. At 1:30 there was the funeral of William Clark. Mrs. S. W. Layen of Philadelphia, who staged the pageant, sent $20 more, making her gift total $25 for the rally. There were contributions from other friends and members. At the evening service, the pastor's text was Philippians 4th chapter and latter part of the 3rd verse: "And with other my fellow laborers those are in the book of life." He emphasized marks, not only concerning the twenty-one members who constituted the first Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, but also the memory of the numerous unnamed members and friends who loved mediate the church what it is today. He said it is possible to live here in this world not an account of a chosen few, but by the unknown man who are the salt of the earth. He also spoke of our receivers not giving. His closing remarks about the roll-call of those whose names are on the book of life were touching. Nine persons joined and the total collection for the day was $652.19. Of this amount was $70 in gold. St. Martin's Chapel Holy Communion" was celebrated at St. Martin's Sunday, June 3. Rev. Johnson preached a wonderful sermon. His subject was "Courage," and he emphasized the fact that we should believe in a personal God, simply or explicitly, or a chemical formula, but a God with eyes to see and ears to hear. Another point brought out was how to get faith in a personal God; by reading the bible and going to church, and above all things by prayer. He also spoke of the tendency of us as a race to set up barriers anyone ourselves and make unnecessary distinctions between the hears he says, are still wearing the shoes of foolishness and living up the street of sinfulness. Courage is an attribute of greatness and a characteristic of our group for it takes courage to continue our success amidst all of the prejudice met on all sides. It takes courage to treat your neighbor as a friend and to be at the 4:30-4:30 service. William blood lines of St. James Presbyterian Church, with his choice and many of the congregations, were guests. Because of the huge task set for St Martin's his theme was very appropriate. "Through faith nothing is imminent." Rev. Ims thrilled the congregation with his sermon which was delivered in his usual clear, attractive and pleasing manner. The choir gave an excellent rendition of the anthem, "God so loved the world." 8 p.m. the Siliver Leaf Quartet, guitar, bass, violins, jubilee songs-and, Spirituals and captivated the house. They had to sing again and again. St. Paul Bapt. Church Wednesday last being Memorial Day, the B: Y. P. U, service was omitted. However, the young people were out in large numbers on Thursday night, taking part in and to enjoy the pageant given under the auspices of the Helping Hand Club, Mrs. Florence Harris, president. Friday night the funeral of the late Peter Rhius, who was overcome in his home gas, just a week previous was held from the church, with the largest attendance of members and lodge members that ever assembled in the church. Mr. Rhius was a faithful member of the choir, and on Wednesday night preceding his unfortunate accident was one on the program of the evening, taking part in the discussion and singing a solo. He is a great loss to the church and the societies to which he belonged. Soon after that had been looked forward to and prayed for. That day all minds were turned to the corner stone services. The pastor preached at the morning and evening services, and each time was very brief. At 3 p. m. the pastor, officers and members of St. Paul, with the Empire Lodge, F. & A. M., the King Solomon Grand Lodge, and a great host of people from everywhere, asch. 129th street and seven. Dr F. A. Cullen, pastor for the indoor service. Dr. Cullen acted as master of ceremonies; while the choir of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church furnished music for the occasion. Dr. George H. Sims, president of the State Convention and pastor of the sermon on the sermon pod, patched the sermon on the words. "The children of Israel, that they go forward." Rev. Booker, pastor of St. Paul, made the appeal for the offering, which was lifted by the officers of the church. Following this, the band led the march to the grounds of the church, in West 123rd street, with the master, assisted by the other officers the grand lodge; formally laid the cornerstone of the church. These services' proved most successful. The pastor and officers, together with the whole church, are grateful that he not assisted in making his historical role at the St Paul Baptist Church such a wonderful success. Rendall Memorial Church Services a Rendall* Memorial Presbyterian Church Sunday, June 3, were conducted by the pastor, Dr. Thomas J. B. Harris, The Lord's Supper was commemorated, the morning hour. The minister spoke on "The Thing That Counts". After the communion the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Kelly was baptized. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Davis stood godfather and mother. One person, Laura Collins, united with the church. Sunday, June 10, the last of the monthly educational meetings for the season will be held. The subject for the occasion will be "The Negro and The Law". An interesting feature will be: the singing of a carol by the direction of the rabbi. There will be many other interesting features. The Gibraltar Club will present a minister's Concert on June 14. Some of the ministers who will take part are Drs. Wm. P. Hayes, F. E. Cullen, J. E. Robinson, n. Lloyd J. W. Rekhbison, w. N. Y. Charles, Martin H. I. Thomas H. A. Rogers M. C. Strachan and others. Union Baptist Church Friday evening the prayer meeting was well attended. Following the service, there was a joint baptism of candidates from the Mt. Param, candidate and Chilom. Rev. Redrick pastor of Mt. Param, baptized all candidates. Sunday, 9:30 a.m. m. the Sunday school was crowded. It was the biggest session held since we have been in the community. The campaign for new scholars is still on. At 11 a.m. m. the choir pieased the congregation with its excellent singing Sims preached. Subject: "Training For Life." Sunday was "Religious Educational Day" in Union. We were pleased to have with us Dr. Charles H. Sears, superintendent of the City Baptist Mission Society. In introducing Dr. Sears, pastor Sims stated that during the thirty years that he has been affiliated with that Dr. Sears has to bring about a relation between the two races than anyone of his predecessors. Dr. Sears stated that he had visited Mt. Olivet and Alyssinian before coming to Union. He said that he has never seen so many Baptists at worship the same time. Nine persons joined at this service. The missionary service at 3:30 p.m. was in charge of Sister Mary Wilkinson, an inspiration sermon. The D. Y. P. U. was in charge of the Juniors. At 8 p. m. the service was well attended. Following a selection by the choir, Emma Clalborne rendered a soprano solo. Among the choir members was the "Latin To The Lamb" and the "Hallelah, Chorus" were effective. WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH --- Rev. James Moore, assistant pastor, delivered a practical and beneficial sermon. Subject "There is No Absolute Independence in Life." He stressed the fact that we are dependent upon each other, economically, socially, and spiritually for the survival of our community. Offering, appended to 2003.13 Rush Memorial Church / The Rev. M. Magill, an ex-rabil-filed the pulpit, at eleven o'clock last Sunday morning, in the absence of the pastor, Dr. G. M. Oliver, who has been confined to his bed for task of rehearsing days with the task of rehearsing Rev. Magill selected as a text St. John 3:3, subject: "Regeneration." A great lesson, as taught Nicodemus by Christ was brought out in the sermon. To be born again is to fall out, with evils and wrong doings of life, and invest our time in the higher things, which only regeneration can bring about. "The Humility of Christ" St. Luke 22:27, was the subject of the discourse by Rev. John Matthews at the communion service. The evening-sermon was delivered by W. White, text 2 Timothy 4:5.

Harlem Second 7th Day Adventist Church "Human beings on earth in league with the demons of hell, is one world alliance which Heaven wants to break up," said Pastor Strachan to his congregation last Saturday morning. "The Bible says, Let Us Break From The Devil." The minister began his discourse by reading from three different portions of the Bible, lst Corinthians who would not use ye should have (ye) given ye saints, 4:27. "Neither give place" to the devil"; James 4:7-8 "Resist the devil and he will flee, from you." Among other things the pastor said: "Theologically speaking, many folks do not believe in a personal devil. Scores of others believe, in fact, that he now maintained the opinion this matter. They have forced the doors of their creeds and allowed his majesty to escape. They no longer believe in the cloven foot, the fiery dart, or the satinic breath. Well, if the devil isn't and never believes in the cloven foot, the fiery dart, or the satinic breath, who digs the pit for his feet? Who sows the tares in the fields of 'time, when God sowes wheat? If the devil is fairly voted out, and we are to say he is gree, then simple people want to know, who carries his business on. The devil is not voted out anywhere; he is still on the job; and you and I have become his most powerful allies. "The devil wages a fierce battle over the bodies and souls of men and women on this earth. And when he has once captured his prey, he is loath to have a soul break contact with him altogether. The man who desert, the camp of the devil, bound to have a struggle, and after God has accepted that man, the devil will dog his steps and set to working the most powerful forces to win that man back again. The battle with the devil is a fierce and long drawn out one. O yes, there are a few people who give the devil no bother at all. If they think they will be catches, upon the slightest invitation they return, expressing regrets that they were ever so foolish as to give up his satanic majesty. But those who really love God, and who are tired serving the devil, such persons will testify that in order to overcome, a continuous warfare must be waged daily and hourly against the enemy of our souls. Paul says, the devil will attack us in the camp of the devil, we must burn our bridges behind us. Our painful natures and propenities must be destroyed. "The purpose of the devil is to bring about an eternal separation between the Creator and his creatures. He hopes to ultimately destroy the lives of men and defeat the purpose of God concerning them." He repented of his rebellion in Heaven, but God refused to restore him there again. And since Satan's plea for reintroduction has been denied, he seeks revenge in thwarting the purposes of Jehovah. Refuge Church of Christ The Junior Church on Wednesday evening is still on the up-grade. Last Wednesday they had an exceptionally large crowd and a splendid service, very orderly and of much interest. Licentiate McDowell is pastor of this department, with the aid of other young men that are faithful in the service of God; they are training the younger group, in the way of righteousness and progressing in a wonderful way. The chorus known as "The Buds" is doing well in this department, under Sisters Preston and McDowell, with the aid of Prof. Baker, the musician. Last Friday evening, the Divine Bible service was marked interest. Every one that came to be prayed for was marvelously healed and strengthened by the power of God. Sunday, June 3, was a full day at Refuge. The services morning and evening were largely attended. A large congregation was present at the service, and attended. At the morning hour he spoke from Colossians 3:1:1, "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek these things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God." He described the christian's privilege by message and proved the beginning of his message that is ours to be risen with Christ; that is, to have benefit by His resurrection, and by virtue of our communion and union with Him by the baptism in His name—burial with the baptism—and the operation of His Spirit—the resurrection of our life from sin. He assigned three reasons for the christian to set their affection on things above, and not on things on the earth. First: that we are dead; that is, to present things, as for usury. We do so, in my words, and obligation; for no one is buried with Christ, into the likeness of His death—Baptism in water—Second: Our true life lies in the other world: 'ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God—being resurrected by His Spirit to life in Third: the new man has his lifeline. His life is extended, for, above, we have become bone of His bone, and flesh of His flesh by the Spiritual birth. At the evening hour the message was taken from Aetis 3:6, 'Silver and gold have I; none, but such as I have give I thee: In the name of the Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.' He of Christ and manifestation of the Spirit of God, and the confirmation of God's word to them that believed. Grace Church of Harlem Fair weather Church members had a chance last Sunday, and Grace Church profited by a noticeable increase in attendance. The pastor conducted the devotional exercises, but the Rev. S. O. B. Johnson of Buffalo, N. Y., preached the sermon "Meaning of the Church." The sermon was well delivered and the voice and personality of the speaker aided greatly in making the sermon most effective. The Rev. Mr. Johnson is president of the National Convention of Congregational Workers, that holds its twenty-second biennial meeting in New York. C. W. with the Wenzel Memorial Congregational Church, Rev. G. F. Thomas, pastor, Grace Church choir was in excellent condition last Sunday and the congregation seemed to be much pleased with the superior singing of the choir. Mr. Borinn, the organist, will be absent on vacation at St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, during the summer, but the choir will continue until the regular month's vacation later in the summer. Plans have been perfected for the coming to Harlem of members of the British Pilgrimage, Thursday afternoon, June 14 at 3 p. m. They will arrive at 135th street and Lenox avenue and the citizens' committee, appointed by Dr. A. C. Garner, will guide them through Harlem, Dr. George E. Haynes is chief of the Harlem itinerary.

S. 136 Training School, Mother Zion Church, Y, M, C, A, Y, W, C, A, Alyssinian Baptist Church, The 15th Armory, the Dunbar Garden Apartments, St. Mark's M, E, Church, etc. Then at 4 p. m. the party will tarry at Grace Church for a real British tea, served by the Ladies Progressive Club, Ladies Aid and a number of others, both friends and members of the church. Mrs. Josephine Braithwaite is in charge of tea preparation serving Orange juice, the English favorite. There will be refreshments by the chair; welcome to the pastor; response by one English visitor; brief address by Dr. Geo. E Haynes; the Boy Scouts will give a demonstration in the street in T HE material contrast between the structures with which (Booker T. V. Washington) began and the present great, ample and commodious plant is sufficiently striking to be enough for one man to bring about. But satisfactory and encouraging as this is. It is but an imperfect measure of Dr Washington's work and at 'eventual' the education and annual turning out of two or three hundred young men and women, for lives useful to themselves and their families is of course a most commendable and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he did and sought to do. His purpose was to radiate from a center like Tuskegee the light of the homely but, ever living truth which must form the brakes of real advance for his race, or for any vace—WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, "Chief Justice" United States Supreme Court. front of the church; and the Day Nursery, will be open for inspection.

Church Junior Church, 10. l. m. conducted by the pastor. Church School, 2 p. m., G. S. W. Baby, superintendent. *Epworth League, 6 p. m., young people's meeting. Morning worship, sermon by the pastor, subject—"Feed my Sheep"—John 21:16. The pastor unfolded the depth and beauty of the beautiful words of the text, spoken to Peter the apostle who required those who loved him to demonstrate it in their lives. Evening worship, sermon by Dr. F. H. Butler, secretary of the Epworth League of the M. E. Church, subject, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4. Dr. Butler-said man cannot live by money, nor political influence, education, those being essential of the building, making of man, but he must also be lige by the Spirit of God in the cereal of his being. Three members were received into the church at morning worship. Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church The congregation of Fleet Street Church welcomed and honored two of her great characters at the Sunday morning service, May 27—the man who tried and failed and the man who tried and availed. In the latter, Bishop Frederick M. Jacobs, we honor success and greatly do we honor sincerity and selflessness in our work. We are Brown. And most of all it is admired in both, those personal qualities, true modesty which is not abasement but poise and self control. In them the church and race has both present worth and future possibilities. As the Bishop entered the service, there was a brief pause by the pastor, who was delivering the message, as he directed the ushers to escort him to the roostrum. At the end of the interesting and effective sermon, Bishop Jacobs was introduced. Words from the lips of the speaker have been deeper into the hearts of men, or were more appreciative than those uttered in response at this time. The Sunday school school, having made a special financial effort during the absence of the superintendent, Frank A. Ray, reported in the special collection for the school $185.35. The memorial service of the Church Relief Society at 8 p.m. was well attended. Sermon was delivered by the pastor. The ninety-ninth anniversary day celebration of the Brooklyn Sunday School Union will be held Thursday, June 7. At an early hour on Sunday morning, June 3, the main worship room of the church was filled. So appreciative are the folks in this relicity of this remarkable pulpitere, Rev. W. C. Brown, that they come in large numbers to bear him speak of the regular God of Christ and Him crucified. The pastor both the morning and evening services. Infant baptism was observed at the close of the morning service. The crowded but appreciative audience of the Sunday school listened with intense interest to ecries from the A' M. E. Zion General Conference by Mesdames Laura Fulford, M. E. J. Parker and A. M. Moore; Sup Frank A. Ray and Rev. W. C. Brown. All spoke intelligently on different phases, the latter two touching on the higher points of interest. A special service is planned and will be conducted by the pastor on Sunday evening, June 10, at eight o'clock. Members and friends are asked to make a special effort to come and witness the occasion. Bridge St. A. M. E. Church Bishop William H., Heard, who has served the churches of the first episodic district in general, and this church in particular, as a chief pastor for a number of years, was the speaker Sunday morning. He delivered a soil stirring a large and enthusiasticotion, and around them a patch of religious fervor.Heard has been succeeded at this district by Bishop Jones and this was his lastnearly on this historic edifice. In the afternoon Superintendent John D. Nikon presented a day school house built four feet in the ninth anniversary day, providing all indications the school will the largest number in the march in his history. Aftervies on the Heights—the church and their parents will repair church and parable of a house At the evening hour Dr. Tews led the pulpit. He spoke topic The Responsibility of the Lord. He spoke 13:9. He wily probed people sower, and the seeds in the represented God and the types of people, and stated that he hear the word and do so will be judged accordingly to who with smores hearts he word and obey will be rewarded all of this we must remember. He root and grow, it also takes build a Christian life and we be patient just as a farmer is with his grain. Upon conclusion of the very symposium was held on the general conference, Amos speakers were Mrs. Adah K. John D. Nixon and Mrs. John S.

He one classed and progressive group, headed by the Ransom; another was the "wet patters" who seemed to have leader but worked on the prize all for one and one for all; the was "on the fence" and their work with both factions. Next Sunday is community conference year. It is hoped all members will do their meeting their conference charges. Mrs. Annie Walker, one of oldest and best known members of the church, is sick at her home this writing. Concord Baptist Rev. James B. Adams presents his sermon Sunday morning, what is coming to be a characteristic bit of philosophy, which poignant to Concord Church in particular, might be true of church. In scored those opportunities which I encountered in church people who work hard their money, using the necessary the preacher to show a friendly it as a means of getting out of the pockets of laborers and members, money for which the church cause receives. Rev. Adams declared himself a man to swish such enterprises. In sermon those persons who are members of the invisible church and move without damar, doing holding together the visible children were called more highly, fewer than prophets and apostles. Seven persons sigmified their desire to walk in church as an outward display of their faith. Communion, served under spell of subdued lights and baked ful organ music, was really Lord's Supper, at the evening in Day parade. Concord is using the Jenkins, Orphanage Band of boys and girls from South Carolina one year a portion of this same band was created a permanent home missional domain of the church. As only one type of music can be used in the parade band is giving a full concert in the church Tuesday evening. At the B. Y. P. U. the first of series of talks on the doctrines to the Baptist, Church was begun again, to the production of an intelligent group of believers in the whereforefores of their faith.

Rector, enabled the Lin- coln Giants to take both games of double header from the Cuban Cubs, before a big crowd at Pro- ductory Oval, Sunday, June 3. The score of the first game was 6-3, and of the other contest, 12-6. Manager Lloyd starred, in the second game by getting two home runs. His batting was also respon- sible for three of his team's runs during the first game. George Dales also hit a home run during the second game. Oscar and Winters engaged in a battle the duel in the opener, with the big southpaw having the bet- ter of the argument. It looks as though the Cubans would get a whitewash until the last inning when Winters lightened up and allowed three runs. Until this time the Cubans had gotten only three hits.

Evelyn Brent, "the girl of mysteries," so-called because she has starred in more mystery and crook dramas than any other actress, is Jannings' leading woman, and with her in the American contingent is William Powell, arch-villain of the screen, who adds to his long line of sinister portrayals the part of a rabid revolutionist, who provides menace in generous and convincing quantities. Also in the cast is Nicholas Soussainn, the Russian actor whose work as "the waiter who wept" was such a sensation in the Adolphe Menjou pictures "Service for Ladies," and "A gentleman of Paris."

This latest gift of the General Education Board will augment State funds now available for the construction of new buildings including two dormitories for women students. The General Education Board has manifested its interest in the work of the Virginia State College for several years. In addition to the gift mentioned above, this Board has appropriated to the school at various times during recent years $500 for library books, $10,000 towards the construction of a training school building, $15,000 for teachers' salarize, $36,000 for a trade school building, and $95,000 toward the erection of the now completed heating plant and two fire-proof dormitories. Adding the $130,000 gift from the General Education Board on May 25, more than $400,000 will be expended for improvements at V. N. 1. within the next two years. Since 1926, the total amount of money from all sources for capital outlays at this college stands at $600,000. WARNING!

Preliminary advices from the officiary of St. James Presbyterian Church at list street and St Nicholas avenue, Libis Walliams Lloyd Imes, pastor, are to the effect that negotiations with DE. Mel ville Charlton, pechaps the race's most distinguished organist, are wellanigh concluded, and that he is expected to take charge of the or- gan and choir at that church on Sunday, July 1. . This ansiouncement is of unusual interest, De’ Charlion has for fifteen years served as organist on Sunday morniies in the chapel of the Union ‘Theological Seminary, Broadway and 120th streei, and for nearly as long has been organist for of of the largest Jewish syna- gogues in ‘The Bronx, playing for thé Keay night and Saturday morning, services. As a concert organist he has won a place,in the front rank, and was the first Negeo organist in Ameriea to win rating asan A. A. GO. The possibility of securmg his’ serviges arose when Mr. Imes learned through his Presbyterian conpections that the seminary chapel would be permanently closed following the coming to Columbia Uni: versity Héights of the great cliurch’ now headed by the Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, the Paz Avenue Baptist Church. Since Dr. Fosdick ‘is also the sninister of the seminary chapel, this will bring about a merging of the chayel with the church, which, will, 6f course, dispende with the chapel’s musical orginization. This will be De. Charlton's first permanent connection as organist with a church of his own race. = Marguerite Bennybacker of Fort Worth, Texas, a graduate of Fisk University, where she studied music under Mass ‘Cox, appeared in a song recital at St. James Presbytersan Church, Ualst street and St. Nicholas avenue, the Rev.

Has it been duc to foresight and inuiative on’the part of the originators?—Emphatically no! “Harlem should initiate and support its own musieal activities in- stead of rallying to aid and abet others, for reasons social and conomic. . : “Does not the Negro know and feel his tribulations more keenly than those not subjected to the same emotions? Are not tribula- tions, depressions, even more poteat than morphine? “Are not periods of depression of necessity foHowed by periods of relaxation? Give us muste of varied types in these periods of re- Inxation; givelus music diserect, satisfying; music that leads us into a state of pleasurable excitement, and, too, music that not only casts 2 spell over the physical, but over the soul, stirring up decp currents of ‘motion, and awakening vague ideas of the Infinite, the tragic, the serene.

But whether old, middle aged or enjoying the first flush of manhood, every one had the appearance of a well-groomed individual. It was not to be wondered at that Superintendent R. A. Rittenhouse, who has been a superviving official in the Pullman service for more than two decades, remarked that he found words inadequate to express his real feelings at such a time and to such a gathering. Any official of any corporation who wouldn't experience a feeling of pride at such an assemblage of employees over whom he has supervision wouldn't be worthy of the position he held.

Title Taken Away, Impersoned In a Distant Jail, Allowances Reduced The Prince of Nabha State, to Maligning India "Mother India" was had enough, in all conscience. One would have thought that anti-Indian venom found the limit of expression in India, 1 are now opened and will close CIVIL SERVICE NEWS Prepared by N. Y. Academy of Business The list for male attendant has been released by the Municipal Civil Service Commission, Grade 2, with 447 names. Applicant for clerk-, male, grade 1, are now opened and will close Court at a salary of $2.5 Public works inspector to 40. The list was prom June 16, 1928, for Bro New York post offices. Mr. Parker followed the superintendent. He gave a short account of the history of the association's birth, its accomplishments aid growth, and added that not only was the organization a factor of benefit to the Pullman porter but that it was a source of financial aid to several Negro banking institutions. During his remarks he called upon one of the association's original members; to stand and he related that this member, who is now a retired porter, was one of the men whose influence with the general superintendent of the Pullman Company in 1915 paved the way for the organisation's establishment. This member is Mr. George Sylvester, who is in his 75th-year. There was one remark Mr. Parker made that touched the philosophy of his hearers. He said, it wasn't how long or how short a time a man lived, but what he did. For this epigram he received vociferous applause. Following Mr. Parker, Rev. W. W. Monroe, assistant pastor of the church delivered the memorial sermon. His theme was extremely appropriate for the occasion. He spoke on "The art of saying goodbye." This he illustrated in some very plain analogies of everyday life. That ended the address features for the evening. Between these talks were three singing numbers. The first two were Negro Spirituals by the Heavenly Light Quartet of Local No. 16. The writer has no knowledge regarding the technique of Spirituals, hence he can give no technical description of their rendition, but if satisfaction is any guide, he will say this: Those four Pullman boys surely pleased the singing and praying sisters. The third number was a solo by Miss Edna Haynes, entitled, "Waiting for Me." The singer's rendering was beautiful and touching, and had the effect of producing many wet eyes among the audience. Other features on the program were the processional by the church choir, "America," by the Pullman Porters Band, and "Taps" by Lieut. J. W. Porter. The services ended with a collection which was donated to the board of trustees of the church, and tokens of thanks to the assistant pastor, the choirmaster and the soloist. These were presented by Mrs. M. Sutton, president of the Ladies Auxiliary of the P. P. B. A. and W. E. Bowe, president of the Pullman Porters Athletic and Social Club. P. A. Sample of the Penn Terminal district was master of ceremonies, and he filled the office with consummate smoothness. Among the general officers of the association present were: J. M. Brown, vice grand chairman; T. M. Blanton, director of the Philadelphia Zone, and S. J. Freeman, director of the New York Zone. Among the well-known members of the association observed were W. C. Taylor of the Pullman Employment Bureau in New York; J. H. Mingo, porter instructor, New York; C. H. Hunter, porter-instrument, New York; E. C. Roundtree, Ernest Durham, Andrew-Condy, T. E. Griffin and others. Other Pullman men who contributed to the general success of the services were W. A. McCroy, A. B. Broady, S. Reed, J. G. Moore, J. J. T. Reid, W. Mekerson, M. H. Day, F. Savage, G. Sylvester, W. H. Stevens, A. C. Robinson, R. B. James, M. F. Cunningham, B. F. Darden and A. Jacobus. Roughly estimated there were nine hundred persons present, of whom four hundred were Pullman employees. THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES Notwithstanding that as an active worker it will matter very little to him now if every one of the ten thousand porters in the Pullman service becomes an adherent of trade unionism, George L. Ford, until recently a veteran in this service, is just as antagonistic today towards labor unionism as a panacea for the industrial ills of the Negro as he ever was. The past tense is used, for on April 1 of this year, the veteran, having reached the age of three score and ten, was put on the list of retired porters of the Pullman service. But if there is anyone who thinks that the ardent feelings of the veteran for his former employer have lessened, or that his opposition to labor unionism has mellowed to any extent by this retirement, the advice here is let the perish. The ex-veteran still thinks the Pullman Company the best corporate friend the Negro in this country has ever had, and believes, just as strongly, that labor unionism is detrimental to the Negro. The writer found this out when he visited the veteran at his home, 68 Edgecombe avenue, a few days ago. The veteran lives in one of those white-stone houses, on this thoroughfare facing Morningside Park at 138th street, Diagonally opposite is the new St. Mark's, M. E. Church, another religious monument to Negro pride and progress. And although this section of Edgecombe avenue is humorously dubbed, "Crawlers' Paradise", its strenancy and quietude is a relief from the sights and noise of its sister, Eighth avenue. The absence of window gazers, stoop loungers and elbow pillows is so noticeable here that, as a residential section, you begin to compare its refinement with that which prevails in "Strivers Row," a block to the east. The day was just turning to dusk when the call was made, and by a turn of luck, the veteran was caught as he was on his way out. He led the way to his room; and what a room it is! For width and breadth, it made you think of the paak just opposite, and gave the feeling that you could give yourself a good stretch without fear of fracturing your skull or breaking your legs by a tension, something one has to guard against constantly in these newly-built apartments in Harlem. But although enthusiasm for the ampleness of the veteran's room made further observation of its interior less critical, there were three picture in it that attracted attention. One was the picture of Lincoln the martyred President; another was that of the late George M. Pullman, and the other was the picture of the veteran's late wife, who died eight or ten years ago. For each of these departed persons the septuagnarian had words of praise. But next to his dead wife, the Pullman car builder came in for the most of his laudations. The fact that history credits the war President with greater laurels and accomplishments for the part he played in the race's progress was of no moment to the veteran. So far as his appraisal went, history could have changed the two characters. From this topic the conversation turned to the Pullman service. The veteran had been running out of the Penn Terminal district for the past twenty-three years, during which time he had served as porter at various times some of the most notable characters in American public life. Of these, he recalled the late Theodore Roosevelt, the late President Wilson, and the present Chief Justice William Taft. To the inquiry as to what were his impressions of these men, taking as an individual, he replied that not one was what you would call colorful, unless you would term a jolly person colorful. In that case, he would say the Chief Justice. "But," he added, "from a tip point of view, the late President Roosevelt topped them all." Twenty-three years of experience as a Pullman porter gives a fellow a supply of reminiscences that is wellnigh inexhaustible, if he should try to relate them all, so not wishing to take up any more of the veteran's time, for, as said, he was on his way out when met, the writer was preparing to go when he casually asked Mr. Ford if he didn't think the time would come when the porters' would have a union of their own? Editor of The New York Age: In The Age of May 12 I published analysis of the efforts made by Editor of the Political Courier to effect Pulman's recognition of the Pulman porters union, minus leader Randolph. Authors don't headline their stories. This is the job of an expert in newspaper offices. And The Age headings' man very expertly memorized what the reader learns what his story conspires these words, "RECOGNITION OF PULMAN PORTERS' UNION SEEN AS POLITICAL MOVIE": A "political move" by whom? By the editor of the Courier and the political course. Not a word in my story heading the headling expert's words! If a bomb had been dropped in that room, the explosion would hardly have been more conducive to a change of atmosphere than that question. The query seemed to have touched a fuse of anti-union feeling which was hidden away in the recesses of this old veteran's memory. "No, it will never," he bellowed. Then he launched into a tirade against every "Negro who had advocated labor unionism among Negroes. Walking up and down the room, with nervous strides, his facial features charged, with the passion of a man who wants to lay hands on something he sees but cannot feel, the veteran, whose seventy years are behind him, made a picture which the writer shall not forget for some time to come. Unionism is not a dislike with this old man, it is a hatred. The abhorrence is so deeply rooted in his system that most likely nothing but death will ever wipe it out. In a most striking reminded of the college debating team, holding the negative in a debate on an inheritance. -That some years ago, which lost because it argued against an Income Tax, Mr. Randolph purports to answer Lemus' in The Inheritance 9. The porters' chiefian completely imperson my facts, conclusions and collateral arguments, and devoted The Age's space to an abortive attempt to bellittle me, as we shall see! So, this reporter found that although the veteran had laid aside his uniform of blue; had packed up his equipment box, had turned in his keys, he was still an apostle of Puillman loyalty; and still an enemy of any system or activity that tries to puncture that loyalty. Now the question might come, "Why bother with Ford and his antediluvian ideas? Yes, on the surface, his ideas may strike one as ancient. On the other hand, on this question of the Negro and labor organizations, one man's opinion is just about as good as another. Ford declares that if it had been left to the consent of a certain well-known labor body in this country, the twenty-five thousand Negroes who are employed today in the shops of the Pullman Company throughout the country would never have been able to enter them, especially as skilled mechanics. Therefore, coming down to definite things and not theories, why not hear what ever Ford has to say? Many of his observations have been gained through years of experience which after all is a rather reliable teacher. In my story of May 12 I submitted that if Mr. Vann were moved by unconscionable consideration to seek amicable contact of Pullman natives there is neither evidence the fact nor reason for the conclusion. Randolph replied that this is a statement supported neither in fact nor reason—because, when asked to produce a fide fellow. Pullman union representatives, Vann demanded that Randolph first resign Then, again, whether you want to take him seriously or take him lightly, here is one fact, about him that cannot be discounted: he doesn't have to rely solely upon the pension which the Pullman Company grant; him to live. The veteran's tangible assets consist of a barber shop at 2155 Seventh avenue—which, by the way, is called the Pullman Tons尔桥 Parlor; twenty shares of Pullman stock; five shares of the Laherty Life Insurance Company of Chicago, and a bank account the interest of which helps to add to his monthly income. I readily grant this. But, certainly, a demand that Randolph get out as a condition precedent to evidence that Vann was moved by unconscionable consideration to so act. This, as a matter of logic. As a matter of fact, however, I did not suggest or infer that Randolph will still contend that the only way to find out if Vann acted in good faith was to send a representative of the union to that Pittsburgh meeting arranged by Vann with allegatives. That was the only way to learn the truth; and in so doing, the union had all to gain and absolutely nothing to lose, because it would not send a plenipotentiary merely to the organizations, not representatives, are accorded recognition. Any man who has followed a vocation as humble as that of a Pulliam porter and can amass such financial independence as this, is always worthy of an interview. Furthermore, his views are worth noting. P. P. B. A. of A. Holds Memorial Services One may not very well speak of religious or memorial services in the language of the stage, such as, "put over" or "went big"; yet that is just what happened at Abyssinian Baptist Church, West 188th street, on Sunday evening last, when the local lodges of the New York, Penn Terminal and the New Jersey districts of the Pullman Porters' Beneft Association of America, held their annual memorial services. Those services certainly did go. I know better than Mr. Randolph that "leaders cannot be separated from organization," but better than Randolph that real organization will permit the management to dictate selection of its leaders; and I made no statement that' can be distorted into that he get put. This reporter has been following these services for the past five years, and while he doesn't mean to disparage any of those that have been held in former years, in his judgment, last Sunday evening's extracurricular surpassed any he has ever attended. In his imitation, the factors responsible for this were four. One was the church in which the exercises were held. No, he isn't a member of it. Second, the attendance, which was augmented by a goodly portion of the church's regular members. Third, Perry Parker, grand chairman of the association, and the man who is generally credited with being responsible for the employment of thirty thousand black men in the Pullman ships throughout the country. Many things are said about this extraordinary employee of the Pullman Company, some of which are not always of the most complimentary character, still, for all of this, the ransom and life of porters respect him, and he can always draw a crowd to them. The fourth factor was the porters themselves. But I also know this--that the compel, and the most powerful un- Never before has the writer seen so many porters out to one of the porters. There were veteran porters, porters who had seen porters of retiree in the Pullman Company, and some who perhaps will be among those that will be memorialized at next year a ion cannot compel a management to recognize a union representative who in persona non grata to management! And I know that leaders and representatives are not generally synonymous in rail labor union parlance. In proof of which I repeat that the leader, Mr. A. Philip Randolph, was not representative of the Brotherhood of the Porters on the occasion of its unanticipated tip-tip presentation to the Federal Interstate Commerce Committee mission! Mr. Randolph says Lemus seems to know more about politics than he does about "labor economics". Randolph is correct; for as little money as possible, the more leav, and care leav for "labor economics," "Labor economics" is like Abe Lincoln's rooster—"hell on dress parade but not worth a damn in flight. It goes fine in race battles when gifting on the platform When I get it in action, I visit the Personnel Vice President of the New York Central Lines, for instance, surrounded by his staff of statisticians, labor experts, and committees of cooks and waiters in the thing of the economics of labor, which is learned only as a craftsmanship among craftsmen. You can't get it in the hurly hurly of prosession controversy where the leav who acts by the loudest can prove anything by his own argument. "Labor economics" is all right in a Negro mass meeting, but agreements with managers of common carriers are made generally not with the Urban League, N. C. P., preachers, Els. Sauce Sues, Flying Fannies of fame and flame, the "frats," sororities, nor the Sons and Daughters of One-Eyed Whitewashers.

OH WEEKLY NOTES FROM INDIA By The Age Special Correspondent The Nabha Prince Dethroned. Titles Taken Away. Imprisoned In a Distant Jail. Allowances Reduced The Prince of Nabha State, to which a reference was made in one of my previous notes, is taken away by the British Government to a temporary jail in Deccan, far from his people. I was long confined at Dehra Dun, near his State. But recently the Government wanted to remove this thorn from them and consequently they have charged him for disloyalty and high treason (best known to Government). The Government of India, after having acted in a more arbitrary manner in arresting the Maharaja of Nabha, seemed to have suffered the pangs of conscience, if at all they have any. Maligning "Mother India" was in all conscience. Or thought that anti-found the limit of Miss Mayo's standpoint. But reports of doings in the United States the full pull mischief left him have not been fully the designing enter. The recent correspondent the States show called "India" is put in vaudaleau stage the enterpriseing Amor of India, after having acted in a more arbitrary manner in arresting the Maharaja of Nabha, seemed to have suffered the pangs of conscience, if at all they have any. I imagine a more coor propaganda and coor inartistic stage, more For, if the Free Press Report is correct, that appears to be the explanation of the surprise visit of the political agent of the Secretary Maharaja (the wife of the desired King) and his invitation to the proceed to Nabha to perform the installation ceremony of her son as Maharaja and offered to her that, if she consented, she would be appointed as regent till the Maharaja comes of age. Evidently the king, the queen, the diar are determined not to restore the Maharaja to his Gandi (throne) This offer to the Mahanani (wife of the king) is the second best thing to the restoration of her husband, and she has have carried out this scheme without restoring to Star Chamber methods of depriving the Maharaja of his privileges and arresting and interning him without trial and the odeal of deciding to dedicate without the guidance of her husband.

At the New Haven conference was a Boston and Albany Railroad waiter, who is, president of the local of that jurisdiction, of the locally well-known corporation, corded the recognition his offie by the New Haven superintendent. A year ago I was summoned to Boston in a Boston and Albany case but could not respond because of prior summons to Chattanooga district court to the president of the Jurisdiction, a New Haven Cook, to represent the Grand Council. He was cordially received by the Boston and Albany superintendent and presided at the hearing for the organization, in the "sunner's" office. With reference to Randolph's obvious attempt to bellittle the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees' achievements by inferring that my connections with the Republican party has produced no concessions of consequence for my organization of waters. In it, I refer to the U.S. S. Labor Department's "Trade Agreements, 1920" and to compare the New Haven Railroad-Brotherhood of Dining-Car Employees' contract with the Pullman Company's "Company Union" agreement printed alongside; then he'll know what he wants for the porters! And every penny of finance necessary to get the company paid by the cooks and waiters themselves. Not a mill has come from the outside. Randolph says I am a "dyed in the wool" Republican. I am as good a Republican as he is a Socialist—which isn't saying much for the Republican. I am a Socialist but this Republican the Socialists, and said nothing for or against them in my May 12 story, as Randolph infers in his reply. I simply stated what happened to me as Mr. Ann's reasons for objecting to Randolph. I am a Socialist for union recognition. Socialism impresses me as a good idea, and it is to be regretted that in America the movement didn't develop ward politicians in the bedroom days, instead of street-corner idealists and war-doctors after World War II. The Street-corner were obviously disgusted. It, therefore, is encouraging to learn from Randolph that the biggest painteries union in the world—A. F. of L. affiliation—is controlled by Socialists. Socialists are not a fail labor union; the porters union purports to be, and a Socialist is quite a "Red" in rail labor union parlance The one who "seem to be interested in labor" Lemus is a "pathetic" figure, believing that man possesses some mysterious political power. He is a recognition of the porters' union, quoth Randolph. I am not interested in labor. I am a laborer, and walked from my labor to take my present position as president of the Brotherhood of Dining. Mr. employees the years ago after he was on five different rail lines to govern wages, of their cooks and waiters, predicated on the 240-hour basic month, and while it is palpable that Mr. Vann is more powerful in journalism and politics than Mr. Randolph, that Mr. Vann is not any one else is of sufficient power to bring about recognition of the porter's union. That power is vested solely in the porters themselves. And as far as Randolph's reference to my ignorance is concerned, and all the labor historians seem to be in accord on one fart, namely, that the failure of American professional labor is axiomatic. Maligning India "Mother India" was bad enough, in all conscience. One would have thought that anti-Indian venom found the limit of expression in Miss Mayo's slanderous publication. But reports of recent stage dolls in the United States go to show, that the full potentialities of mischief latent in "Mother India" are full and useful, the designer enemies of India. The recent correspondence from the States show that a playlet called "India" is put on the American vaudeville stage by Nazimova, the enterprising American actress, who confesses that the inspiration of her play has been derived from "Mother India." It is difficult to imagine a more courageous bit of art than Nazimova's intristic stage monstrosity than Nazimova's stage adaptation of "Mother India." It is obvious that the incidents on which the play is founded has no counterpart in Indian social conditions. If Miss Mayo's book was a perversion of truth, the play is falschademagnified, Anti-Indian propaganda is written in huge detail, and the play, and as such both Miss Mayo and Nazimova have overshot their mark. But the residuum of mischief created by the sinister combination of the propagandist authoreas and an unscrupulous dramatist must still be considerate. Some of the mud thrown is Lound to stick. It is evident that if free play were recorded to such a slaindefoe campaign international amity would be seriously endangered. The Nurse Cavel film, "Dawn", was prohibited by the British Board of Censors, because among many other reasons it was thought that German susceptibilities would be outraged by the display or the entertainment entertainments more concern for the feelings of India than for those of the ex-enemy of the country. I recall that a British actress was prohibited in Bombay from performing a Salome dance, as it would lower British presi- ges. Some of the films are stopped, so that them would be derogatory to the dignity of the West. Does it then follow that east of Suez, canons of propriety and standards of dignity are to be interpreted on entirely different lines? In this game of traducing India everybody gains except India, as unscrupulous distortions of facts, and the Union Jack is mule to do duty as the palladium of the rights of Indian womanhood. Truth has been verily crucified that India may be pilloried. Government of India, to say let the people be deliberate grime committed against a hollow nation like India. Why This Prosecution? It is difficult to fathom the reasons which actuated the Government of Bombay in sanctioning the prosecution of Messrs Dev, the editor, and Haroikaril, the editor, and under section 124-A on a charge of waging war against the Government established by law. Their only crime is of publishing a series of articles in connection with the boycott of the Samoan Commission which he held in India by the British Parliament. As Mr. Bepin Chandra Pal (the hon. of Bengal) wrote sometime ago, the ordinary prosecutions for sedition create more sedition in the minds of the people that they help to create more sedition. The pretation of du-saffection as "want of affection" really condemns the entire political-conscious section of the Indian community to either overt or covert sedition. "What, the question be asked, the existing state of India in Indian State Constitution or Indian methods of Administration that can be reasonably expected to quicken the 'affection' of His Majesty's Indian subjects towards his Government?" The same question is raised and answered by Mahatma Gandhi in the article that he has written in "Young India" on the conviction of Messrs Dev. and Harolikar. As Mahatma Gandhi points out, the article for Messrs Dev. and Harolikar has been convicted is a reasoned appeal to Mindus and Musselmen to disown the protection of a Government that enslaves the country and if fight they must, fight fairly squarely, honorably. If they are allowed to be Mindus, Gandhi and Co., are surely fit for transportation if nothing worse." In this connection let me mention that at a recent debate in the Legislative Assembly, it was Lala Lajapat Rai who moved a resolution that the Commission that has been receptable and strong speeches were made in the Assembly. For no condemnation of the prevailing system of government could be stronger than was made in the speeches delivered by Lala Lajapat Rai's motion, which was carried by a majority of 6 votes. All officials and nominated were forced to vote against the popular voice, Lala Lajapat Rai questioned the bonafides, the punishment issued by the Commission, as the public believes, that this Commission is not activated by motives of justice and fairplay, or by any regard for the interest of India, and the persons who are on commission would solve the problem of India.

Railway Convenience Following is taken from the official report of what transpired at the current Delhi Session of the Legislative Assembly at the time of the meeting of the Delhi Budget against the inadequate facilities afforded to the third class passengers. He said that the earning from this class were ten times more than those from the first and second class accommodations and facilitate provided their classes were many times better. In the waiting rooms there was not even a bench for third-class passengers to sit on. "Sir Quiumon (Ultra-Loyalist) Did they use benches in their homes? I laughed from official benches.) "Mr. Joshi: That is not the question. The question is whether they pay their fares (a voice from official side: They don't pay it always—Laughter to official). Mr. Joshi retorted by saying: As a member of the EU, if the EU has heb (as Europeans of high rank and position are known) who travels without a ticket, (Hear heart and laughter from people's representatives). "Mr. Acharya also complained that animal trucks are used on some railways for third class passenger. Oh it is a pity that the truck is taken into the comforts of the third class passengers, is it requires more to spend after military——" Y. M. C. A.'s and Government The Governor of Burma has patted the Rangoon, Y. M. C. A. on the back of its being "an invaluable ally" of the Government, because of its "contribution through its work, to the realisation of those ideals of good citizenship which, if you would make this, or indeed any other country, so much easier to govern". So a new task has been set up for the Y. M. C. A.'s, viz. that of making India safe for British Imperialism. Let us see how the M. C. A.'s respond to this, the M. C. A.'s response to certain, that Mr. Philip Spriggs was driven out from the Y. M. C. A. because he was to be arrested by the Bombay police in connection with his writings on India and China, and that the Bombay Y. M. C. A. is declared soon after out of bounds for British troops. Subsidised Propaganda The revelation made by the late editor of the Aligraph Mail about his being asked to receive his pay from the publicity, officer of the Government of India furnishes the most damaging proof against the repeated protests, of the Government of India, against the fanning, the fire of communalism which have proved so disrupting a force in the civil life of this country. The system of subsidizing a paper which is run on the avowed principle that the Moslem Community of India has no quarreer with the Government and that it is the Hindu community it is worse and a disgrace to the eternal discredit of an alien race.

There were over 300 Scouts in the line of march and then we only had half of our troops, troops. Only a few boys from one of the new troops showed up. I heard that was because they haven't uniforms yet, but wait until they get them. Ok! boy! The services at Dorrence Brooks Square looked great with the colors flying and all of the fellows in uniform. If all the fellows in Troop 774 drum and bogle corp had shown up the parade would have been even better. Somebody forgot the second scout Law. Mr. Perry certainly did a good job the way he conducted the parade. Of course you know he has been appointed district marshal, and that was one of his first duties in office. Now we'll have someone dropping into our meetings occasionally to see how things are going. Geel but I am glad we have marshal, and if he puts things over like he did that parade, it will be great. I heard the entry blanks for those who are going to be in the Field-Day are over. The parade is ten cents per Scout for every event he enters. And the date is definitely June 10, McCoombs Park 2 o'clock. Then somewhere—I can't tell where I saw some done about a big District Court of Honor this month. All I can say is I saw the word parade and something about inviting a thousand parents. I wonder where it's going to be. I know Life, Star, Eagle and Merit Badges are going to be awarded. I think there will be two Eagle awards. Gosh! but I wish I had mine. Well I've about said it, fellows; see you next week. Be prepared!

LIEPE, Pharmacy 1885 Green Bay Avenue Millwance, Win. To Lay-Members of The N. Y. Annual Conference Of The A. M. E. Church To Lay-Members of The N. Y. Annual Conference Of The A. M. E. Church GREETINGS! We lay delegates to the General Conference, A. M. E. Church, which met in Chicago, Ill. May 7 to 23, inclusive, beg to submit our report, to wit, as follows: We are thankful to Almighty God that we are able to be present at the opening session' and to remain until the closing. Although a contest was entered against our being seated by Mr. John D. Nixon, a member of Bridge Street Church, Brooklyn, and Miss Elsie Reed of Bethel Church, Brooklyn, yet we were able to overcome every objection, entered against us and were, sustained in our election by the General Conference, Therefore, Mr. Nixon and Miss Reed were not seated as members of the General Conference, hence Mr. Nixon was not a delegate, as reported in The Age of last week. In making up the list of the General Committees, some friend of Mr. Nixon gave his name in to be appointed on the Publishing Board, but when it was discovered that Mr. Nixon was not a member of the General Conference, a regular delegate was appointed as a member of said board. Now, as to what the laymen were able to accomplish in the way of new laws in the General Conference, we wish to state that we accomplished everything that the Lay-Members Union of the New York Annual Conference A. M. E. Church, Incorporated, endorsed. First, we were unequivocally opposed to the removal of the time limit for our preachers and while the time was extended from five to eight years at the discretion of the bishop, yet the time limit was not removed. Second, we got representation of ministerial and lay-delegates in the General Conference, and eight lay-delegates instead of four in the annual conferences. When the lay-delegates found that the ministerial delegates were seeking a chance of all bishops, we fell in line and helped to put over that program, hence, we have a new Bishop on this district. We were also in favor of organic union of the A. M. E. and A. M. F. Zion Churches, and this was unanimously endorsed by the General Conference. Prof. C. H. Johnson of Wilberforce, Ohio, is still at the head of the Lay Movement, and as soon as we hear from him, we will be able to issue a call for the Lay-Members Union to meet and re-organize, etc. We were thankful that we were able to elect all of the general officers except one. We were particularly interested in the election of Prof. Hawkins, who was unanimously elected, and Dr. Ira T. Bryant, who was elected by an overwhelming majority. Thanking you for the support given us in the past, may we request that each and every lay member fall in line and do our full duty in accordance with the Discipline of our Church? And let us do all we can to help our new bishop, our presiding elder, our pastors, to put over their program, for the building up of our Church for Christ and His Kingdom. Fraternally. WILEY G.

In order to assure the public that the members of the Clef Club still obtain the high standard of morale for which they are widely known, and to also refute publicly and emphatically, the claim made by Lee Banks, we want it thoroughly understood that at no time during the history of this organization has the name of Lee Banks ever appeared on its membership roll.

UNDERTAKERS UNDERTAKERS Matt Henson and Utica Singers On The Radio Matt Henson and Utica Singers On The Radio Matt Henson, Arctic explorer, only living man who set foot on the North Pole, now an attache of, the U. S. Customs, New York City, went on the air on Sunday night, June 3, broadcasting his Arctic experiences over WJL in connection with an hour of Spirituals singing by the Utica, Jubilee Singers, Staurt Hawkins, (Pioneer), who conducts the column, "On The Radio" in the New York Herald Tribune, wrote in Monday's paper as follows: From the warmly impulsive outpourings of Negro spirituals to the telling of cold tales of Arctic explorations is something of a jump, but the Utica Jubilee Singers and Mr. Matthew A. Henson managed to make it without too much bluntness, last night at WJZ. The Utica Singers did as they have done for so many Sunday evenings, making exuberant paces of harmonious faith sound fresh and unworn. Mr. Henson, the Negro explorer who accompanied Peary on his successful trek to the North Pole, read narratives and descriptions about his several Arctic trips. His delivery was matter of fact and somewhat hesitant, but his statements and stories were intensely interesting. To him went silent but hearty applause from hereabouts last night, for his description of what successful North Pole hunters, really did when they found themselves at the top of the world. "Peary and I shook hands and shouted three cheers," said Henson, "and then we went to sleep." Some of Mr. Henson's accounts seemed unduly muger last evening, notably the one about, what seemed to have been a submarine volcanic eruption that broke up the ice-floe on which explorers were camped. But to those who attended his words carefully, his speech contained a deal of authentic thrills and informations. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. an. Mrs. Oscar H.
