Garvey's sentence was commuted after he had served two years, nine months and eighteen days; and he was immediately deported to Jamaica, British West Indies, his original home; his release from prison coming on Saturday, November 26, 1927, with his deportation taking place from New Orleans a day or two later. It was reported that Garvey's supporters in New Orleans gave him $10,000 for expenses in Jamaica, and later reports were to the effect that the N. I. A. leader has cashed 40,000 pounds ($192,000), and was living like a lord in the Carribean island.
Now Garvey has gone to England to spread his propaganda, and Lonon papers have given much space to his activities. The Daily Sketch of May 23, in an article headed "Emperor" Comes to Town," with a subhead telling of his "impudent Claim" to Be the Leader of Negro race," tells of Garvey's preparations for the opening of "his campaign in England."
"European Headquarters."
Says the Daily Sketch: "At the moment he is preparing for the opening of his campaign in England. He has already booked the Royal Albert Hall for a meeting which he is to address on June 6. "In a one-room office made out of the sitting room of an apartment house in West Kensington yesterday the Daily Sketch found four white women and a Negro lad sending out many thousands of circulars calling attention to this meeting.
"The circulars are headed 'Office of the President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association,' and this Kensington sitting room is described as "European Headquarters."
"Mr. Garvey has gone to Liverpool for a few days," the Daily Sketch was told, "and I am afraid I cannot tell you anything in his absence other than that the meeting to take place in the Albert Hall.
"Mr. Garvey came from Jamaica recently with his wife and his secretary, but until, he returns from Liverpool, I am afraid we cannot tell you anything of what he hopes to do over here."
Makes Big Boasts.
In the circulars Garvey claims to represent an organization of eleven million members in Africa, the United States, Asia South and Central America, the West Indies and Europe. He promises to deliver one of the greatest speeches ever heard in the world's history.
"He has a larger following in the world today," the circular continues, "than any other living man in America, the West Indies, Central, and South America, and Africa; his word is obeyed with greater promptitude than that of any man in existence."
"From this it is obvious that Marcus Garvey has a good concit of himself, but in a handhill accompanying the circular he goes even farther.
"Never in the history of the world; it states states; has any man spoken like Marcus Garvey, neither Demosthenes and Cicero nor Mark Antony could stir men's minds and hearts like this great orator of the Negro race."
"It only remains to be said Garvey cannot be heard free of charge. There is at the bottom of the hand-hill a list of prices for admission to the Albert Hall for this great night."
"World's Greatest Orator."
This meeting was duly held on Wednesday night, June 6, after the most elaborate preparations, which included Nassering London with placards announcing: "The Hour Has Come—An History Night for England—The Great Orator in the World, the Muses on the Black Race, Representing 100,000 Members of the World-Wide Negro Improvement Association—More Eloquent Than Demosthenes, Cicero and Mark Anonymous." In Associated Press cable dispatches telling of the meeting it
stated that "those arriving at Albert Hall were presented with programs testifying to Garvey's eminence and versatility by advertisements of Garvey's books, 'The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey' in two volumes, twelve shillings ($2.88); 'The Poetic Meditations of Marcus Garvey,' one shilling (24c), and Garvey's song, 'Keep Kool,' composed while he was in the Federal Prison, one shilling, six pence (36c). The Associated Press dispatch continued:

James Veal Elected Exalted Ruler Of Monarch Lodge, Elks
James Veal, well known funeral director, was elected exalted ruler of Monarch Lodge, No. 45, I. L. P. O. E. of W. in a spiritited contest Monday evening, June 11. Mr. Vcal defeated James P. Turner by nearly 30 votes. Dr. Hudson J. Oliver, the retiring exalted ruler, was not a candidate for reelection.
Other officers elected were: Dallis Rosin, esteemed leading knight; James Keyes, esteemed loyal knight; Frank S. Shields, re-elected esteemed lecturing knight; Daniel Tice, inner guard and Robert Nichols, tpler.
John W. Duncan, treasurer, and Russell P. West, secretary, are elected for a term of 1 year and were not up for election Monday night. The other officers are elected for a term of six months. There were also thirty delegates elected to the Grand Lodge convention in Chicago in August p.
Lawyer's Plea Saves Negro From Long Term
Trenton, N. J.—When James Battie completed a three month's term, in the Mercer County workhouse, the Trenton police reearrested him and brought him into court before Judge Breinman, who had before him nineteen charges of larceny, which had been found since his incarceration, for goods valued at about $100. Battie's relatives had secured Counsellor Robert Queen to represent him. Mr. Queen made a three minute plea for mercy, which was granted, although it is contrary to the court customs in Mercet County to place a prisoner on probation. Battie was sentenced to pay a fine of $10, and make restitution to the value of the goods stolen, and was given a year within which to do so.
All question as to President Calvin Coolidge's meaning with reference to accepting a renomination was ended when, on Tuesday night about 11 o'clock, he telephoned his secretary, Everett Sanders, at Kansas City, Mo., emphatically declaring that he is not a candidate, and that in the event of a "draft" nomination he would positively refuse to accept.
This action clarified the air, and on Wednesday morning it seemed to be an absolute certainty that Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce in the President's Cabinet, would be nominated on the first ballot.
Interest in the second place on ticket seems to favor Vice-President Charles G. Dawes, but he is not in favor with the Hoover managers, and it is possible that Dawes will not be able to overcome the opposition.
Secretary of Treasury Mellon Says There Is No Segregation of Races In Any of His Departmental Offices Statement To Negro Press Is Seen As Palpable Bid For Negro Support of Republican Ticket But Lemus Says Mellon Is Being Fooled
(Special to THE NEW YORK AGE)
Bv RIENZI B. LEMUS

Washington, D. C.—Colored and white employees are not segregated any place in the U. S. Treasury. Segregation will not be permitted in the U. S. Treasury. One of the highest treasury department salaries is paid to a colored man. Colored employees of the U. S. Treasury are satisfied with conditions.
Such are, but a few of the declarations made in a column and a half statement released to the Negro press through the Associated Negro Press by Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon himself, last week.
The greatest Secretary of the Treasury since Alexander Hamilton winds up this lengthy detailed submission, which smacks of a political party's campaign text-book with the declaration that
"I am entirely satisfied, however, that no charge of segregation can fairly be made against the Treasury Department and assure you that throughout my administration no such segregation will be permitted. I am deeply interested in everything that concerns the welfare of the colored people of America and trust that they may receive everywhere the just and fair treatment to which they are entitled."
with practicing segregation of the races, whom not even the ubiquitous Neval and "Bob" Nelson could reach personally in their war on governmental segregation here.
Could not See Mellon.
"New" and "Bob" saw Secretary of the Interior Work and Secretary of Commerce' Hoover; but Under Secretary of the Treasury Ogden L. Mills was the closest the Get to Secretary Mellon, so it is believed that Mr. Mellon's statement is made on assurances to his best knowledge and belief.
In telling about lack of segregation in the Bureau cafeteria, the Secretary stresses the facts that employees of both races are served the same food, use the same dish, caterery, and stand in the same line—but omits to tell whether they eat, do not eat, indiscriminately at the same meal, and eat together. He also stated that else where in the building (Bureau of Engraving and Printing), colored men have separate lockers.
Encouraging, indeed, it must be to the colored people of the country to receive assurance from Secretary Mellon that "no such segregation will be permitted" through all in all probability, "invite next March, after a splendid, continuous duration of eight years
Palpable Indication.
The fact that it took Mr. Melton seven years and two months to make his declaration of deep cerms the welfare of the colored interest "in everything that compe- pete" will not be offset not even when it comes on the eve of a Presidential election, in which, for the first time, indications that the Republican nominee will not have a walkaway among colored voters are palpable.
It would be a grave breach of the amenities to take issue with the Secretary himself. His statement is categorical and over his signature. This writer, without race complex, frankly, is a great admirer of Secretary Melton's effi- ficiency and lack of ostentation, and believes that administration of our national treasury is the duty of a successful, millionaire business man. And this writer never was in any part of the Treasury plant.
The Secretary's Credulity.
Nevertheless, there is a positive tendency here among those who ought to know to laugh at what is termed Secretary Mellon's credibility. It is said that discrimination as between the races still is practiced in the U. S. Treasury. For instance, it was stated that the grill which functioned to effect segregation in the Register of the Treasury's office was supplanted with an arrangement of file cases to serve the same purpose, and that said files still serve the purpose. Of course, the Secretary cannot be expected to make a personal, detailed inspection of the entire Treasury plant and personnel; also, he must accept reports of his subordinates. Moreover, Secretary Mellon is the only Cabinet officer whose department was charged

So it is believed that Mr. Mellon's statement is made on assurances to his best knowledge and belief. In telling about lack of segregation in the Bureau cafeteria, the Secretary stresses the facts that employees of both races are served the same food, use the same dishes and caterry and stand in the same line—but omits to tell whether they sit or do not sit indiscriminately at the same tables and eat together. He also stated that "elsewhere in the building (Bureau of Engraving and Printing) colored men have separate locker rooms, but have identical toilet and bathing facilities, including locker-room attendants." It perhaps, is to be regretted that the way-late declaration of the most outstanding member of the President's Cabinet is being taken by colored folks hereabouts with a proverbial "grain of salt." They don't vote here; but when the N. A. A. C. P., Equal Rights League, and African Democratic spell-binders get to making Al Smith political capital of it, the effect among voters will doubtless be widespread.
The old sage whom this writer often consults, whom opines that Secretary Mellon's letter is of political significance, intended to pave the way for Negro poll support of Morrow or Speaker Longworth and, failing either, for Hoover next November;

The Patrol of Public School 119, Manhattan, consists of fifty girls who are on duty everyday during the admission and dismissal of the school. The patrol is divided into six companies, each in charge of a lieutenant. The organization is under 'direct supervision' of a captain and a chief of staff. Election of officers takes place at the end of each term. Officers are nominated and elected by direct ballot, with the consent of the school faculty.
The Patrol was organized last November with Eleanor Dorset as captain, and Flosse Clark as chief of staff. The success of the Patrol is due largely to the uniting efforts of these two girls.
A wonderful spirit of cooperation, responsibility and school pride has grown as a result of the work of the Patrol. Membership in it is considered an honor, for no girl can become a member unless she has satisfactory marks and good deportment. The little badge of blue and gold is an emblem of authority, and all the other pupils respect it and obey the wearer. The training these girls receive will last them a life time; and the habits they form while on duty, the practices of good zenship which they demand, and the development of executive ability which unconsciously goes on, make them, in the future, leaders whom Harlem may be best praised.
The application of this training was well illustrated at the close meeting of the Parents' Association of this school, P. S. 119 is pro-

(Staff Correspondence of The Age)
Kansas City, Mo.—Negro management of the Negro end of the Republican Presidential campaign, not nomination of the candidate, is the principal concern of Negro politicians, whose number assembled here is legion.
And the fact that the man finally nominated for President by the Convention will name his own "Sant" doesn't in the least perturb the host of us bodyboss "Sams" who are as active as a self-conscious drunk, trying to make it home on Sunday morning before the streets are filled with his neighbors going to church.
Heavyweights On Scene
There are some real heavyweights here: "Boh" Church, for instance. But the Tennessee leader is no small-timer, and it is not believed he would accept a "head Sant" post, if tendered Certainly.
I Finley Wilson and Miss Nannie H. Burroughs Finley is here. Finley represents the most formidable group of organized Negroes on earth—the colored Elks; and Miss Burroughs, along with Mrs. Lampkins of Pittsburgh, conferred with the Hon. Perry Howard at Washington about three weeks ago. It is not unfair or unreasonable to give some credence to the story of Perry Howard's candidates for the posts well supplied in 1924 by the late lamented William C. Mathews and Mrs. Lawton of Brooklyn. And neither of the alleged Howard selections is a head "Sammer."
It is not believed, however, that the signed pledge of the Perry Howard Mississippi delegation to stick with Hoover till the stickers wear out carries any provision for Howard selection of Hoover's "Afric" campaign managers, in the event of Hoover's nomination The Hoover organization has been assembled for months, and it has

This unit is a six building, adjoining the Church: It is being erect Apartments, Inc., of which dent.
Liberty Hall, formerly the home of Marcus Garvey's Universal Improvement Association, is the site of the proposed buildings which will be the future home of Monarch Lodge. The building program as planned will be carried out on the same plan as the famous Broadway Temple and other church and community projects. That is, it will be erected in three units.
Two Apartment Buildings.
The first two, which will be on each end of the 250-foot plot, will be apartments, and the third unit will be the Monarch Home, a clubhouse with a large assembly hall, hotel accommodations for the members, a bowling alley, swimming pool and other modern features. This third unit will not be erected until the other two income producing units are complete and are on a firm business basis.
Mr. Holstein bought the site at a foreclosure sale a little more than a year ago and a few months later sold it to the Monarch Elks for $70,000, plus a mortgage of $13,000 due Metropolitan Baptist Church. He still holds a mortgage for $65,000 on the property, but has agreed to subordinate this to the building mortgages necessary to complete the buildings.
Bonds To Pay 6 Per Cent.
A building loan of $140,000 has already been secured on the first unit of the apartments, and this will be exchanged for a first mortgage when the building is complete. The rest of the money needed to complete the apartment building is expected to be secured from members of Monarch Lodge, and the general public, who are being asked to subscribe to mortgage bonds, paying an interest, of 6 per cent and which will be secured by the income from the property, and the building itself. The income from this unit is expected to be around $43,000 the first year, giving a net profit of $11,070 for the first year's operation. The bonds are in denominations of $25, $50 and $100 and may be purchased on the installment plan.
Maurice Courland, architect, of

is authority for the statement that they will be as fine as any on West End avenue or Riverside Drive. Some of the features will be uniformed elevator service, parquet floors throughout, a modern incinerator for the disposal of garbage, oil-burning system of heating, etc. This unit will contain 170 rooms, which will be divided into 1, 2, 3 and 4 room apartments.
How Contract Was Awarded.
A number of Negro contractors are up in arms against the project because they were unsuccessful in getting the contract for the building. But according to the building committee, they were asked to submit rids, along with several other contractors. The bid which was accepted was so much lower than the others submitted, and the firm of contractors so much more experienced, it was finally decided to accept the lowest bid, regardless of the racial element.
The office of the Monarch Lodge Apartments, Juc, which is the business name of the corporation erecting the apartments, is located at 245 Wes. 137th street, the presence of the Monarch Elks. Officers and directors of the organization are Caesar Holsteln, president; Benjamin F. Brown Jr., secretary; John Durean, treasurer; Alderman Freid R. Moore, trustee; and Messrs. Aaron C. Deming, Dennis Armstead, Joseph Brown, John Brown, Jerry Stratners, Elias Mitchell, John Thompson, James A. Thomas, William T. Anderson, Walter Haywood, Henry Wilson, Dr. Wyndam, Scott, William Marshall, Louis William, Alfred Tucker, Dr. Hudson J. Oliver, J. H. Lux, Joseph Gazny, E. T. Deloatch, John Green, Russell West and Coleridge F. Brit.
Mr Holstein is a past exiled ruler of Monarch Lodge, and succeeded, the late Gilchrist Stewart as chairman of its buildings committee. Monarch Lodge was or-organized in 1907 and is now one of the largest and most progressive units of the I. B. P. O. E. of most of the members have already agreed the building program, and many have voluntarily agreed to purchase the bonds, although the campaign for the sale of these bonds has not yet been officially started.

On Friday, June 8, General Organizer A. Philip Randolph of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, on advice of William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, postponed issuing orders for a general strike of Pullman car porters, as had been extensively announced.
Mr. Randolph and M. P. Webster, comprising the strike committees, accepted Mr. Green's advice and sent orders to organizers and the membership to postpone action on the strike, but to preserve the strike machinery intact for use on some future date unless the Pullman Company consents to abide by provisions of the Railway Labor Act, meet representatives of the Brotherhood or accepts arbitration.
Mr. Randolph plans a conference in Washington with President Green at which the future program will be considered. The following is a copy of the telegram sent by A. F. of L. head to the Brotherhood head, advising postponement of the strike.

"Because of my deep interest in the economic welfare of all working people, I am taking the liberty of communicating with you in your interest the Pullman porters and maids. All thinking, observing people know these groups of workers are suffering from unemployment, the imposition of accumulated wrongs. The Pullman Company, which exercises the right to organize its capital, the right to employ its workers, the right to be represented by officers and representatives of its own choosing, denies the exercises of the right to its emplyment, and insists that the daily tender faithful and efficient service.
This arrogant dominating attitude assumed by the Pullman corporation fair play and justice. It ought to arouse feelings of righteous indignation among the workers of the powerful corporation oppressing its work."

"No corporation would be permitted to assume a privileged status for the redress to organize and petition for the redress of grievances: it is as fundamental to work with the oppressed, the oppressed, growth, and development facing the officers and stockholders of a corporation." "It is even though the attitude of the Pullman Company is proactive to the extreme and the grievances of the poor and the oppressed, to compensating the. am of the opinion that he be unwise to engage in a strike, now. Economic conditions are unfavorable to. economic conditions are unfavorable to. a lack of. understanding. Public opinion has not been crystallized in support of the demand. For obvious reason the strike action of the hande of the Pullman Company. "It is my firm conviction that the best interests of all workers concerned would be protected by the strike action and the substitution thereof. of a campaign of education public enlightenment regarding the justice of the workers and the seriousness of your grievances."
George Foster Peabody. Writes.
George Foster Peabody, of Sargatoga Springs and New York City distinguished philanthropist and banker, has been stirred to take up the cudgels in defense of the porters' right to organize, and has written a letter to the Nashville Globe, replying to a letter published by Poe Jr., in which Mr. Poe wrote the attitude of the Pullman Company towards Negro porters in its early days.
Mr. Peabody calls attention to the fact that he has been familiar with the Pullman car service for more than a half century, at the same time having close relations to educational opportunities and facilities for the Negro race. He agrees with Mr. Polk's statement that Mr. Pullman was considerate and active in aiding the Negro to fit himself for this employment, and that Mr. Pullman deserves credit for his tenderness and sympathy, but calls attention to the fact that this was nearly a half century ago, when Mr. Pullman was seeking the best possible demonstration of the advantages to travellers of his notable invention. Weites Mr. Peabody.
"It may be well said that in no single particular was Mr. Pullman's foregist and business acumen of greater importance to himself and the stockes of his company than in his true selection of the very best material possible from which to develop and educate a staff of loyal and natural workers, and venture to assert that a not-inconsiderable factor in the successful evolution of the Pullman service has been this choice by Mr. Pullman of the Negus as best material for this notable service.
No Lack of Courtesy
"I have been travelling on railroads, using Pullman cars for well nigh the entire trip and have in contact with the hard come in contact with thousands of individual porters. I have taken pains to think over-during the trip, and have considered the rendered to passengers in the Pullman cars by those efficient representatives of the organization. I have not been able to recall as many as instances of the part of a Negro porter on those Pars. On the contrary, I have observed continually the easy grace and trust by these gentlemen of a Race peculiarly Christian in their exhibition of good manners. I think, therefore, it may be well said that the majority of property which has resulted to the stockholders of the Pullman Company is due in no small degree to the fine quality of service the Negro race as porters, etc.
"Might it not properly be asked of Mr Pope and now objective to the effect that the human prosperity shared by these gentlemen who have rendered such constant and efficient service, why is it that the fullman Company, which is the Negro conductor? know has relation to race segregation which is, alas, so related to the fullman Company, which is the people of this country, but is it not true that of the fullman Company, with such a record of service and such an impregnation, had put forth a back of such service, but use the Negro conductors of its ears and to advance but in the rank of service to a greater service of incalculable value as to the total race relations issue which is one of the critical factors in our modern development of international relations."
Passed Service Appointment
"I do not mean to argue the question, although, as a railroad official for many years and closely related to banker, lawyer, and insurance tran s, I am of the opinion that a vast service which might have been rendered been passed by the Pullman Company. "I do not believe in strikes. I am proud to believe that the enlightened followers of Jesus Christ should always be present in the every phase of warfare. I am very clearly of the opinion that the Pullman Company has failed in an important so ordinary prosperity placed it in a position to render, not merely to the Negro men in its employment but to the whole country in its country for its opportunity for an effectual race prejudice was and is exceptional. It is a matter for daily observation that the Pullman Company does not pay an employer what every one admits to be
Mr. A. S. Jackson writes from Rutherfordton, N. C.—
"I would get up mornings and my joints would ache. I would feel sore. I would feel sleepy and stupid. I didn't feel like I wanted to work. "I heard of Black-Draught and how highly it was recommended. It certainly did me a world of good. So now I keep it in the house all the time. It keeps me in splendid shape."
Pains in your joints and muscles are often the result of poisons which have been absorbed into the system instead of being carried off in a natural manner. These waste products cause a great deal of trouble to many people, and much relief has been found, because, by seeing to that the nerves act vigorously and freely every day.

the full value of the service rendered,
its patrons by its porters. The Pullman
Company manifestly relies upon the tips
which the passenger is expected to give,
to its porters to enable them to have the
bare, living which is, all, a tip, average
tips and wages mean. I may say, as a
citizen interested in public affairs for
'a half century, it is my deliberate judgment
that 'a properly constituted labor board, should be in position' to present to the Pullman officials, in such public fashion as to develop an effective public sentiment, all the facts, relating to the service rendered by the Pullman
porters to the employers who contract,
upon receiving the Pullman car fare, to
the occupants of a speaker birth.
An Economic Injury
"It can be rightly shown that the percentage paid by the purchaser of a loan is higher than the percentage paid by the holder of a long trip leas. This higher amount is the education of the public which is a feature of corporate obligation which is too often ignored by the managers of corporations. The release of personal liability and many other advantages shown to corporations is the trend of consolidation of the powerful.
"I venture to express the hope that the high elvic spirit of consideration for the brotherhood of the Pullman Porters in yielding homework—w-advice of Mr. Green, President of the Federation of Labor, to call off or defer the proposed strike, may please. I due care to inform you that the Pullman and others may have relation to a proper adjustment of the question of righteous wages between the Pullman Porters, who renders such rarely complete service."

A. POLITICAL ADVENTURE,:
Under the pointed and pertinent -héad-
line, “What About Hayti?” Arthur Rubi
contributed an illuminating article to the
New York Herald Tribune two Sundays
ago, in which he discussed some ques-
tions raised in “Black Democracy” a néw
book by H.-P, Davis, dealing with the
present status of the subjugated repub-
lig. ‘The outstanding defect of American
rule is pointed out in the fact that, after
thirteen years of occupation, “no- direct
steps have yet been taken toward prepar-
ing ‘the conscious Haytian minority to
govern their own country themselves.”
‘This is the constructive criticism found
in Mr. Davis’ book and emphasized by
Mr. Ruhi, who” sedulously’ avoids any
discussion of the justice, expediency, di-
vine right or manifest destiny, which
leads a stronger nation to interfere fore-
ibly in the affairs of a weaker neighbor.
‘That Haiti is unprepared {6r democ-
racy is declared self-evident and the ma-
terigl benefits conferred ‘by the American
occupation are pronounced equally ” ap-
parent, but it is recalled that thé island
is not, one of our insular possessions in
the same case as the Philippines or the
Virgin Islands. Further, that our armed
intervention in 1915 was made only after
the definite assurance that we had “no
object in view except (6 insure Haitian
independence and re-establish a firm gov-
ernment,” and that we should remain in
Haiti “only so long as will be necessary
for this purpose.” The lack of a definite
program to carry out these pledges con-
stitutes the glaring injustice of the pres-
ent policy pursued by the American rul-
ers. Mr. Davis, in his book, suggests
that a Haitian Senate and House of Dep-
uties should be elected and should func-
tion before our withdrawal and that det.
inite steps should be taken toward the
gradual replacement -of Americans by
Haitians.in all administrative depart-
ments. cS
This would bea measure of reparation
for the wrong committed in subverting
‘the democratic form of government ex-
isting in Haiti by forcibly dissolving the
national congress in’ the early days of
thé occupation and preventing any popu-
lar election since. ‘The absence of such
a policy looking toward the restoration
of democratic government is pronounced
by far the most vital and legitimate com-
plaint of the former ruling class of Hai-
tians who represent the only articulate
publig opinion, despite all efforts of the
ocupation to stifle their protests. ‘The
weakness of this class of Haitians is that
they failed in the days of. their power to
lay the foundation for popular deniye-
racy. among the masses of. their fellow
|countrymen. ‘The peasants were exploit-
ed as laborers, drafted into the army as
‘soldiers, hut denied .the advantages of
public instruction and kept in a state of
Primitive ignorance. It was the same
neglect of the lower claises that prevailed
in most of the Latin-American republics
and from which some®of them are now
emerging, i
‘Mr. Davis mildly criticizes the arbi-
trary ‘power wielded by the American
officials in failing to respect decisions of
the Haitian Supreme Court and consid-
ers that the ‘time is ripe for subordinat-
ing the military regime to a civil admin-
istrator, He suggests three possible pol-
cies: abrogate the treaty and get out,
continue the intervention indefinitely—
both of which alternatives he dismisses
as impossible or .inexpedient—or “an-
nounce definitely that we ‘will withdraw
at the expiration of the treaty in. 1936
and adopt a definite-program designed
to prepare the Haytian people, in so far
as possible, to take over and administer
an efficient, independent government.”
‘The trouble with the last of these sug-
gestions is that it would require an en-
tirely different class of Americans to ef-
face the evil“effects of the racial preju-

* Congressman Celler is a Democrat, but
he is alive to the interests of ail classes
of his constituents, as was proved by his
introduction of a bill in the last session
to have Congress confer a medal upon
Matthew Henson, in recogition of his
services given to Arctic exploration with
the late Admiral Peary. While the in-
tercepting of telephone messages appears
to be pretty small business for a great
government like the United States to in.
dulge in, it is no more nor less contempt-
ible than some other practices sanc-
tioned by governmental usage in dealing
with such small countries as Haiti and
Nicaragua. The only difference is that
in the latter cases the wrong committed
against citizens in another country,
while in the telephone case our own cit-
izens are the sufferers.
Wire tapping and wholesale and retail
snooping by government agents and irre.
sponsible persons bent on. regulating the
manners and morals of the’ community
are all by-products of the attempt to en-
force the Volstead act and to prevent
people from drinking alcoholic liquors.
The attempt has been futile so far as re~
sults go, except that, it has driven men
and women to drink worse stuff than
they ever drank before. Many early ad-
vocates of prohibition who have realized
its dire failure, are now in favor, of its
repeal of modification. .
1f Congressman Celler wants to hit a!
the root of the evil, let him move for the
repeal of the Volstead act and turn the
whole matter of enforcement of the
Eighteenth amendment over to the states,
to be regulated in accordance with the
prevailing sentiment of the various ‘com-
munities. If the ‘community wants light
wines and heer why give at light, wines
and beer. If the preference is for strong:
or stuff, let it be sold under‘such regu
lations as will limit the sale to the co-
pacity of the consumer and prevent the

C, the Queen of Sheba made a visit to the court of King Solomon, after which visit her son, Menelik was born. This is the oldest monarchy in the world, their religion and the face can be traced back before the time of the Babylonians. The name of Abyssinians was given to them on account of their mixture of Ethiopian, Jewish and Egyptian blood. They are a Christian people and their religion dates back to the 4th century.
Another date of importance in their history is 1896, when they defeated the Indians and were able to foreign aggression and incidentally to gain respect as a nation.
In 1924 the present King of Abysmia made a visit to the large capitals of Europe and was received in a manner befitting a monarch and the reports of his visits spoke especially of the pride of race displayed.

St. Paul Bapt. Church
The pastor missed attending B. Y. P. U. Wednesday night owing to attendance at a service in Bulah Wesleyan M. E. Church. There was good attendance and an interesting meeting.
The Friday, night and, Sunday morning prayer services are fairly well attended, but much more interest may be aroused by a spitfire preceding the prayer service, by some one who has made a study of what is to be said beforehand.
Sunday morning, the pastor preached on "Accounting of Stewardship." In the afternoon, in the absence of D. J. Washington, the pastor preached "I am separable Love of Christ." And in the evening, on "Willing Christians."
Madam Scott, organist, was away for the day, but Miss Lulu F. Booker, pianist for the Sunday service, was present as a resident at the organ. The choir is rendering helpful service. The people were full of joy when the pastor announced the financial success of the corner stone service, and the choir was filled with those whose names have been handed on to the envelopes through which they contributed, to be read out from the pulpit, and to be heard in the church, while a permanent record will be written in the book.
"What It Means To Be A Christian," was the theme of Pastor Strachan last Saturday morning. The pastor is now in the midst of a series of Sabbath morning talks dealing with practical Christian living. The text chosen by the minister was Matthew 7:20. "By their fruit, ye shall know them."

St. Mark's sustained a great loss late the last Bishop Luther Wilson who just retired last month at the general conference at Kansas City. Bishop Wilson, for several years, gave unstinted of his services to Mark's Church. He also appreciated Dr. J. W. Robinson since his pastorate at St. Mark's.

"Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth to those things which are before, the pastor's sermon Sunday morning on "Windows Opened Toward Jerusalem" spring full born from a burning heart and an active mind, from the lips of the servant, like heralds hastening from battle to carry news of victory. The worshipping congregation, large in numbers, was swayed by this great sermon, and at the close a number came forward and offered themselves for membership. The school session was short yet interesting. These services will be brief throughout the summer season.
At the evening service, the pastor spoke on "The Most Popular Sin." At the suggestion of the pastor, Brown the bishop, congregation visited this service, led by him and Bishop F. M.

THE material contrast between the structures with which (Booker
T. W. Washington) began and the present great, ample and commodi-
ous plant is sufficiently striking to be enough for one man to bring
about. But athletics and academic life is far more imperfect measure of Dr Washington's work and acclimation. The education and annual turning out of two or three hundred young men and women for them, though not a course as 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 great art form known as a trail advance for the race, or for any race—WILLIAM HOWARD TAPT, chief Justice United States Supreme Court.

Concord Baptist Church
Anniversary Day, Thursday, June 7, which is the biggest day in the year in Brooklyn, was probably the best day Concord has had in the year. The line did not reach the mark of last year, which was 809, the appearance and marching order was finer than ever before, and won the first prize in the Clinton Division.
For the first time in years Concord took second prize for the parade, the appeal, which was a replica of the play, "Christ in America," given some weeks ago by the Junior Missionary Band.
The Jenkins Orphanage Band of boys led the Concord Sunday school, while the Jenkins Orphanage Band of girls formed the rear guard, making good music on both ends of the line.
This band gave a concert Tuesday evening for benefit of the orphanage in the Concord Church, which was splendid.
The Children's Day exercises of the Sunday school, held in the manger, took place with touch in the human heart. Miss Tschabalala, social worker of Nazarene Congregational Church, who is a native African, Invited the boys and girls to a special youth service at her church. Rev. James B. Adams talked in a simple yet interesting way to the Sunday school with a message directly for the youth.
A teacher of millinery, a member of Concord, Mrs. Stella Patterson-Graves, held her graduating exercises at the Home for Aged, presenting the home with $17, and teaching the children assembled. Rev. William Lloyd Immer, a definite and attractive speaker.
Rev. Mr. Adams has, through his bringing of the Jenkins Band to Brooklyn, placed his approval upon the work of the southern school its worthiness of support. He also favors the kind of industrial effort being put forth by Mrs. Graves.
For the first time in the history of Brooklyn's Sunday School Anniversary Celebration, a colored minister, the Rev. Dr. Wm. P. Hayes, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, Manhattan, sat in one of the division stands as a judge. Dr. Hayes served in the Clinton Division district.
One of the conspicuous features of this year's parade was the banner carried in the Stuyvesant Division by Rev. Robert P. Blay, marched with St. Philip's P. E. Church's Sunday school, the Rev. N. Peterson Boyd, rector, on which was emblazoned the historical fact that the first Sunday school organized in 1793 was the one established in 1793 by Katy Perguson, a black woman.
Mr. Blay gave as authority for the hymns, the standard encyclopedias, files of The New York World, and a biographical sketch of Katy Perry, who is often referred Americans." Been in slavery, freed in early girlhood because of unusual "character, in her womanhood she became a much engaged seamstress and caterer to the leading families of New York. In 1793 she being a mother, early afternoons the little street archives, telling them stories of the Bible teaching them to sing" the simpler hymns. A white minister passing one Sunday, heard the singing, investigated, and interviewed his own church, from which the present day Sunday school developed.
Young People Present Drama at Bethel Church
Expressions of praise and delight from the entire audience were heard on Thursday night, June 7, after a dramatic sub-division of the Bethel Church E. Church Young People's Lycme presented the drama, "A Dream of Queen Easter." It was declared to be the best play offered at the church in not years! Every performer entered the theater of his character with zeal, and made it natural and lifelike. The only feature lacking to make it complete was the scenery of the stage, which was Samuel Craig, stage manager of the Lafayette Theatre, but through the arbitrary ruling of the officers of

"Another star number was a male chorus from 'Show Boat,' with Daniel Haynes singing "Old Man River," the outstanding hit of that show. John Cooper, the ventriloquist, with his manikin, "Sam," was enjoyed, as was Edward Steele, the blind pianist, who played a (transcription of "Auld lang syne" as a solo, and then played the accompaniments for A. A. Haston baritone, recently returned from a long stay in England.
An attractive feature on the bill was the act by J. Mardo Brown, the nifty drum major of the "Show Boat" Co., whose manipulation of the drum majors baton was a skillful exhibition and thrilled the audience.

MT. OLIVET CHURCH CHOLR IN ANNUAL CONCERT SINGS "BELSHAZZAR" CANTATA
The choir of Mr. Olivet Baptist Church, the Rey, Win, P. Hayes, pastor, under direction of Lorenzo Fräuklin Dyer, organist-choirmaster, gave its annual musical recital on Thursday evening, June 7 when the cantata, "Belsharafz," by Butterfield, was rendered.
The affair was poorly managed and staged, and did not start until nearly 10 o'clock. But the singing of the various participants and of the ensemble was of a high order. The chorus sang with splendid solidarity and the solos, particularly Charles Simmons, tenor, gave creditable and enjoyable renditions.
Mrs. Wille P. Mays, contralto, whose voice is of unusual quality, sang with fine effect, but could not seem to remember that she was not on a concert stage, for she could not resist the applause of the audience and refrain from the concert artist's smiles and bows in acknowledgment of the audience's plaudies, even when making her intrances. It was unfortunate, too, that this splendid artist had not entirely memorized her part, for it was rather out of keeping to see her using the score when singing to her husband, who was behind prison bars.
Miss Consulco Pappy assisted Mr. Dyer as accompanist, and there was someone at the organ console, but one could not discover the player's identity. An orchestra was advertised, and there were several instrumentalists there, but occasional strains from the violin and cornet were the only evidences of their presence.
Other solo parts were assigned to the following singers, but a lack of persona acquaintance with the individuals made it difficult to identify them: John Henderson, David Norman, Mr. Helm, John A. Kirby, Lillian Brown, Daisy Harding, Anna E. White, Eydth Nuttie, Carrie Skeeter, Emma Wise, Josephine Green, Isabell Merrick, Bertha Jamieson, Richard Powell, George Brown and Harold Butler.
IN THE REALM OF MUSIC
By LUCIEN H. WHITE
LYRIC SOPRANO AND DRAMATIC READER COME FROM BOSTON AND ARE HEARD BY NEW YORKERS IN WALKER MEM. CHURCH
This reviewer journeyed into the hinterland of Harlem's east side on Monday night, June 14, that he might have opportunity of hearing Ethel Hardy Smith, lyric soprano, of Boston, in a recital program. It was, according to information received, her first formal recital in New York, and advance comment stirred such interest as to make the long trip inevitable.
The Boston artist was presented by the Walker Memorial Baptist Church, the Rev. J. W. Saunders, pastor, and this house of worship is located on West 132nd street, eastwards beyond Madison avenue. The audience, of considerable proportions, was interesting because of the conspicuous absence of Harlem's musical cognoscent.
Mine, Smith offered a program calculated to appeal to the most catholic taste, but there was no lowering of artistic standards. The opening group, three English songs, quickly disclosed the fact that the singer possesses a sophisticated technique, a polished artistry of interpretation, and a pleasing presence.
If to these graces she could add a bit more of personal magnetism, a deeper tonal color to her voice, there is little doubt as to the favor she would win from her audiences. The vocal organ is handled with most delightful ease and smoothness, the diction is clear-cut, with an impeccable phrasing, and each song brings great enjoyment. But there is lacking, judging from Monday night's efforts, the depth of feeling which stirs the heart to passionate impulse.
There is a lightness in the tone that sometimes seems almost metrical in quality, but with it is a purity of intonation and a fidelity to the pitch not to be found in every singer's offerings. "This quality, however, lent itself admirably to the bravura passages which the singer encountered here and there in her songs, which included "What's in the air today" by Eden; "The morning wind," Branscomb; "When Cherie songs," Mott; "Margaret at the spinning wheel," Schubert; "Chere miit," Bachelet, and "Le Papillons," Fourdrain, these two in French; a group of Spirituals, arranged by Rosamond Johnson—"Let us cheer the weary traveler," "Done fount my lost sheep," "Old time religion," with an added number, "Tis me, O Lord" and a final English group, "The Birthday," Woodman, "Lullaby," Scott; "Secret Language," Gay, and "Song of the Open," LaForge.
Hugo Bornn Graduated From Musical Art Institute
Eleanor Trent Wallace, a recent graduate of the Emerson College of Oriental, Boston, was the supporting artist, and since her offerings were wisely adapted to her audience, she won the highest favor with her hearers. From her first reading, "Aidun Samanta," to her last added offering, given withpiano accompaniment, Mme. Wallace gave her audience great pleasure. She displayed unusual dramatic gifts, giving vivid life to the various characters embodied in the recitations she gave. She read "The Chimney" by Russell, and a part of the first act of Zangwil's "The Melting Pot," the first typifying Negro and southern white characters, the second Irish and Jew, and she was facile and equally at ease in each. She was liberal in her response to encores.
Those who have visited Grace Congregational Church, New York, Rev. A. C. Garner, pastor, know of the splendid musical attainments of Hugo O. Bornn, pianist and organist. Bornn was graduated from the Institute of Musical Art on the evening of June 4, completing four years of study in piano and theory, having been granted a scholarship by the institute for the last year. He was also awarded a school he found time to compose, and at one of the institute recitals, movements from his "French Suite" were performed by an advanced student. His "Song of the Sienn" for piano has been well received by radio and concert audiences.
The piano accompaniments were played by Hannah Cully Brown young New York pianist, who substituted for Ella France Jones of Boston, who was unable to come to New York, and she did splendidly, exhibiting ample technique and a sympathetic comprehension. Mrs. Brown gave an added number, a Debussy composition, playing it with understanding.
For the past nine months he has

GOLD SILVER AND BRONZE MEDALS WON BY YOUNG NEGRO MUSICIANS IN ANNUAL NEW YORK MUSIC WEEK TESTS
Mr. Born smiled for this home in St. Thomas, V. I., on June 8, to return in the fall, when he will rejoin Church, pursue graduate work in composition, and devote some time to concert engagements.
Lyndon Caldwell Plays And Christine Caldwell Sings In Germantown, Pa
The closing of the 1928 Music Week contests here in New York City discloses the fact that colored boys and girls were winners of bronze and silver medals in district and borough contests, both in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and that they were not entirely shut out of the gold medal class:
Announcement of prize winners, made by Miss Isabel Lowden, director, on Tuesday, June 12, showed that a gold medal in singing, girl's junior class, had been won by 16-year old Fay Alma Cany, lyric soprano, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cany of 110 West 139th street. Fay Alma, who is in her first year at the Julia Richmond High School, taking a commercial course, has been studying voice with Mme Emma DeLyon Leonard of the same address for the past two years, and taking piano lessons from her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Canty, who is herself a fine musician. Miss Canty has been on the air with fine results, broadcasting from Station WGL and WCGU. Of course, she had won bronze and silver medals before qualifying for the final gold medal test.
Philadelphia, Pa.—The out-standing musical event of the season now coming to an end was the appearance on Monday evening, June 4, in M. Tion Baptist Church, West Rittenhouse street, Germantown, of Prof. dlyndon Hoffman Caldwell, pianist, and his wife, Christine Caldwell, dramatic sojourn, of Brooklyn, N. Y.
The concert was sponsored by the ministers and members of a number of the churches of this city, thus enabled success. The artists gave a program of rare merit, and pleased a large appreciative audience.
Another gold medal winner was Raymond Waters, violinist, 8 years old, of 42 West 139th street, a student of the David H. Johnson studio. After winning the bronze and silver medals in district and Borough contests, little Raymond played at Steinway Hall on June 7 and was awarded the Interborough crown, in class of 10 years and under.
The ministers cooperating were the Revs. E. S. Thomas, L. B. Moore, F. B. Mitchell, Wm. H. Hopkins, D. W. Henry, P. H. Hughes, B. Moore and J. W. Curry.
It is worthy of note that from the David H. Johnson studio there were nine violin and piano contestants, including a violin quartet; and seven solos and the quartet were medal winners. Dorothy Marks, 12 years, of 680 St. Nicholas avenue, bronze and silver medals in violin class; Grisela Harewood, 13 years, 319 Cumberland, street, Brooklyn; violin, bronze and silver medals; William H. Brigg Jr, 14 years, 582 Lenox avenue, violin; Charles Hunt, 13 years, 31 West 136th street, violin; Ambrosia Benjamin, 11 years, 582 Edgecombe avenue, piano; and May Boyce, 12 years, 21 West 136th street, piano, bronze medals.
Mrs. A. W. Curry managed the recital.
Amy Bailey Stars In School Annual Concert
The violin quartet, composed of Dorothy Marks, Edwina Coker, 11 West 137th street, Charles Hunt and James Thomas; 68 West 139th street, was awarded a medal.
Sedalia, N. C. The annual concert at Palmer Memorial Institute was a chax of any previous effort. The singing of Pudeldo Gaspare, the soprano, and the dramatic soprano, completely won the hearts of the people. The concert program consisted of selections from the Girl's Glee, Club, the Male Quartet (recently tying in with the choir), the test of North Carolina singers) and a specially arranged mixed glee club, which sang in an annual manner Dawson's "King Jesus is a Listenin', Mist Gadeline C. Corum, director and accompanied the concert program at the piano.
"BOJANGLES" SCORES RACE THEATRICAL STARS WHO SHUN BENEFIT APPEARANCES
A large audience well nigh filled Lafayette Theatre on Wednesday, June 6, for the midnight benefit performance to assist Pauline Jackson, the young colored professional swimmer, in her projected effort to attempt swimming the English Channel. According to published announcements, she plans to attempt the swim sometime during August of this summer.
Part 2 of the program-presented the Physical Education Department, "The Magyer" and "The Shepherd Dance" were rendered, closing with a picturesque tableau, in the interme Muse directed the dares.
The theatrical professional responded freely to the call, and a spelled program was rendered, which was enjoyed. Deacon Johnson and Tom Fletcher served as masters of ceremonies, with Fletcher doing the brave work. Miss Jackson was introduced to the audience about midway the program, and made a brave attempt to express her thanks to the audience and to the actors, actresses and musicians giving the program but she tripped in he rimes and prettily and gracefully said "good night."
Part 3 was the concert proper and under the personal direction of Miss Amy Bailey. In this group, Mr. Scott sang "How So Fair" from the opera, "Maratha," The Faculty Quartet, consisting of Miss Bailey, Miss Fisher, Mr. Scott and Mr. Westerhain, sang "Three-Songs," "Arabay," "Miss Three-song" and "Arabay" Vintner, sang "Arabay" and completely captivated the audience. A duet, "I Know a Rosehud Biboning," sung by Miss Bailey and Mr. Scott, evoked an encore "Indian Love Call." The finale, a special chorus, sang the Sextette from Lucia.
One of the advertised trainers, a white than, William J. Sadio Jr., was also introduced and emphasized the necessity of "you people" furniture the money for Miss Jackson's trial. The distinguished actor, William (Bojangles) Robinson, one of the few headliners to put in an appearance, took occasion to give expression to some, thoughts concerning race loyalty and race respect for our women that struck a responsive chord in the audience. He al- so commented upon the absence of some of the promised acts, including Miller & Lyle of "Shuffle, Along," "Rug, Tang," and "Keep Shuffle" time, deprecating the fact that some of these performers never in benefits for their own race. Bojangles gave a nifty example of the tap dancing which has put

ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM
J. For about two years, Elmer Goodwin has been bandmaster of the Imperial. Band, supplanting Lieut. Jake Horton, who had for many years been who, was the final bandmaster for Imperial Lodge, J. B.. P. O. E. Now the information comes that special meeting at Imperial Hall, on Friday, is decided to reinstate Lieut. Porter as bandmaster.
Dissension put Jake out, and apparently has put him back in power. It is regrettable that the band, containing "primarily" anateurs, should be made a football—just as we accustomed to make them to be another. But if the good of the cause demands it, the unavailable has to be done. Let us hope that the three parishes concerned, the powers that be the bandmaster and the band员, work together in harmony, and unity for the continued progress of the Imperial Band.
"Local 802 has just caused it to be known that armories giving affairs of their own have the right to use their own bands or orchestra without interference from the sergeant's arms, irrespective of whether, the orchestra is mixed, union and non-union men. But if the musicians be all union or all non-union men.
This decision might have been induced by an incident which happened recently when Deacon Johnson and Mt. Olivet Church got mixed up, when the church, on giving permission, 369 to the army was compelled, it is alleged, to hire the army orchestra in preference to Deacon's, which had been booked and appeared the night of the pageant to play the job. But Deacon's orchestra did not play the pageant and was compelled. This was because the church had been given use of the army free of charge.
The situation might restrict the use of the army by would-be hirers. Suppose John Brown wanted to sent the armory and wanted to give him a job of playing. The armory authorities could easily tell him, "You can have the armory if you use our band or orchestra," and poor John could take or leave it. On account of its size and price, the armory is not carried around, but when it is wanted—there you are.
It does happen, though, that John might want two orchestras: if he has the money and hires the armory orchestra, nobody cares when he plays. You might say there is a joker in the decision of Local 802, but the fact remains, as before stated: if you want an armory you are subject to the distention of its authority or non-union musicians, and at armory affairs mix union and non-union musicians with impunity.
Hairy Pearl Enterprises, Inc., of Broadway, through its manager, Mr. J. A. Miller, has booked Vernon Anadrade and his orchestra under a one-year contract to play at Loughcrest on the Hudson at dance hall, St. Anamusement park.
The band has been heard at the Renaissance, where they have played several winters as the house orchestra, by both Mr. Miller and Mr. Hoyle Merriardt, manager of the park and they both have no experience with the dance music of Andrade's orchestra as much as the patrons of the Renaissance dance hall do.
If the orchestra "gues over" is understood that a season's work will be filled by them as the house orchestra for the park. The manager of the park contemplates, as well as getting Paul Whitehan, Vincent Lopez, Paul Specht and we have no doubt, Fletcher Henderson.

This brief comment seemed to make him realize, more than the empty hall and more than his trials and tribulations, his glorious days are gone—the days when the Negro Legion and Black Cross nurses proudly drilled in the streets of Harlem and the slightly wabby mortgaged...ships of the Black Star Line hoisted the green, and black flag and thousands cheered him in Madison Square Garden.
He, pulled himself together, pounded the table, smote the atmosphere with a gesture and stretched a gigantic plot which, he said, was being hatched against the old spice was missing. He thundered his mouth spiray against him engineered by Harry M. Dougherty, former attorney General of the United States; rubber concessionaires, the Republican Administration, Secretary of Commerce Hoover, Harvey Firestone and the League of Nations—he fired was gone. He folded his arms, going to lead 280,000,000 Negroes to a superstate in Africa, despite the machinations of the British papers who had made this meeting a frost; but conviction faded as his eye caught that of the lonely sardonic Cockney in the distant gallery. The audience in the hall refused not to reassure him, nor even the spectacle of a Negro decked out in the full costume of an African chieftan with gaudy plumes' sitting alone in the balcony.
Campaign Management Is Vital Consideration
(Continued From First Page)
functioned perfectly.
A most astute politician of the Hover forces is Walter F. Brown of Toledo, Ohio. Mr. Brown is is Assistant Secretary of Commerce, and Mr. Hover is the Secretary. A most able Negro "associate of Mr. Brown is Mr. Clarence Vena also of Toledo. Mr. Vena is very much here. And so are Melvin Chisum, Roscoe Simmons, Ivan Mason Mason, Boston—husty as bees, and still the most affable aid amabil of busy men
Many pretend to see in the sudden assignment of James A. ('Billboard') Jackson to the Department of Commerce eight or nine months ago a link in the chain of the 'Hoover-Presidential organization.' 'Billboard' was on the staff of the Associated Negro Press when he was given a civil service position of the Small Business Section" of the Department of "Domestic" Commerce Bureau. "And 'small business' indeed, is it to develop the 'Sam' organization of a Presidential candidate!
Senator Borah A "Dud."
If, when this is read, fate has smiled kindly on Herbert Hoover, Negro editors and advertising managers of Negro newspapers business with the management of the Associated Negro Press. The A. N. P. is a going concern, and Messrs. Hoover and Work, like other persons having occasion to deal with sub-contractors, want centrated organization. Besides, the A. N. P. got in on the ground with the first ground-swell of the Mississippi floods; and a "safety in time, saves nine," the Hoover-Afric organization might as well do a Senator Borah—shut up shop when the public stumbles to attract attention pan out to the "duds." And Borah, who is here more like Booker T. Washington every day, is a perennial "dud."
If Hoover loses, then there'll be a serrable. Lowden is perona now grata to the Illinois leaders—Chicago—Mayer Thompson, Daniel Jackson, Oscar D屈 Priest, So if Wawershaw loses, then will Chihuahua who is somewhat allied with Senator "Jim" Watson of Indiana, will get the post.
Tidtington In The Field.
Ernest · Tidrington · of Terre Haute, who missed the Registership of the Treasury when Senator Watson turned down President Coolidge of the "World Court," is a manager of the Negro end of the campaign. Ernest is a mighty nice and a very able fellow; but he also is a Vice. Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias—left handed crowd—according to the rival group of African-Pythians, and the governor of the district are quite sure about some decision he rendered in Massachusetts. Unlike, his Southern Pythians, Ernest's eastern brethren at least have the privilege of laying in bed and refusing to register for school. Should Longworth get the nomination, whoever C. Bascom Slemp considers the best "San" will be the "Sam" manager. Keep your

ENROLL NOW—PROPIT BY A VALUABLE TRAINING
The bouffant, is so popular for summer wear, is featured in Pattern 1481. Its tendency to youthfulness, and its air of simplicity and charm, endear the bouffant to woman whose judgment is invaluable/regarding dress. This aftertaste features printed crepe georgette or chiffon. The cape, color is in plain color; harmonizing with the main theme of the frock.
Green chiffon in little, flowered nosewings, would be attractive with a cape of plain green chiffon, banded with printed fabric. The cape and the band are of the plain material. A malted blue and white crepe, with cape of white, sounds beautifully soft and alluring. Most any of the new colors lend themselves to the development of this graceful afternoon frock.
Size 36 requires 3½ yards of 40 inch material. For each additional inch add one quarter yard.
May be obtained in sizes 16 to 44.
This model is easy to make if you use this pattern which is individually 'hand-cut' of substantial paper, not tissue. A perfect fit in envelopes is appropriate. Pattern will be delivered to any address upon receipt of £5c in coin or stamps, preferably coin. Always mention size wanted. At least Eashion Book showing Springtime Jimmy Book will be sent upon receipt of £c for mailing cost, etc. Address all mail orders to The New-York Age Pattern Department ment 17 West 28th Street.
eye on Longworth. He and Slepm on Longworth, friends, and Slepm is the best man for the Longworths and the Odened Mills came together, Odened Mills is Under Secretary of the Treasury, close to his chief, Secretary Mellon, who propitiously released her, denying the practice of segregation in the Treasury last week
If Dawes is nominated, his white gardener's Negro valet will be head "Sam." But in the event of the nomination of Ambassador Fowler the African manager post is likely the highest administrator Ed. Henry of Philadelphia.
There is probably a humous rumor afloat here of a third party ticket, headed by General Coxey of Ohio, with Rev. Simon P. Drew, as running mate.
Another item of interest aroused the question—If President Coolidge could question to run why did he choose the biggest staff to ever accompany a President on a summer vacation

which they themselves could not hope to make. Much romance has been woven around the Negro mothers who have labored over wah tubs until the wee hours of the morning that their sons or daughters might be able to attain their goal. Such mothers deserve their place in history. And just as their memory and sacrifices have been cherished and revered, the time will come when fathers will be given credit for their sacrifices in behalf of their sons and daughters. When future history tabulates these sires among them will be counted many whose occupations were merely that of Pullman porters.
Pullman porters may have overlooked opportunities for themselves, but they are not overlooking them for their children.
Editor Pullman Porter News:
I am writing to let you know that my interest in The Age is not waning; on the contrary I am working overtime to increase the circulation of the journal that brings to its readers news from all parts of the globe. Its pages have such a high moral tone; its editorials are crisp, pungent and strike out straight from the shoulder in preaching the gospel of righteousness without fear or favor when called upon to uphold Justice and Truth.
Mr. Harry Richardson, my stepson, tells me, in one of his letters that since he has been reading your valuable journal, a new world has been opened up to him, through the medium of your paper he is being tutored day by day concerning the doings and the happenings of our people. He finds men and women among our people who are actively engaged in intellectual pursuits who are hitherto unknown to him. These literary exploits by different individuals of the colored people, as are brought out in your paper, are a revelation to him and he has thanked me again and again for The Age.
In my humble position, I take it upon myself to voice the grief and sympathy of all our people over the death of the lamented T. Thomas Fortune. Your paper has exhausted the last thread of eulogy that can be given him, but our prayers and our tears are with the family and relatives over the loss of such a wonderful character. Both Cambridge and Boston send their condolences to the grief stricken son and other members of the family.
LOUIS WHITE
Editor Pullman Porter News:
It doesn't matter whether or not the last-minute message, sent by the American Federation of Labor president to the organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, to postpone the scheduled strike of the members of this organization was pre-conceived and prearranged the fact stands out that the message was a sensible piece of advice. Some judgment was used, by the porters' organization's leader in following the labor man's advice.
I am writing to let you know to waning; on the contrary I am working on the journal that brings us of the globe. Its pages have such a crisp, pungent and strike out straight the gospel of righteousness without uphold Justice and Truth.
Mr. Harry Richardson, my step that since he has been reading you has been opened up to him, through being tutored day by day concern of our people. He finds men and actively engaged in intellectual purse him. These literary exploits by di people, as are brought out in your he has thanked me again and again. In my humble position, I take and sympathy of all our people on Thomas Fortune. Your paper has that can be given him, but our pr family and relatives over the loss of Cambridge and Boston send their son and other members of the fun
President Green's suggestion should open the minds of Pullman porters, who believe that they should have a organization the same as the Pullman conductors, to a realization of the fact that to bring about the conditions which they care in their industrial relations, the public, that is, the traveling public, will have to be their final recourse, and not the various industrial agencies' of the government.
Ruzii B. Lemus, president of the railroad cooks and waiters brotherhood, and one of the few, if not the lone labor leader among Negroes, who has so far been able to show results as an organizer, made the statement through The Age several months ago that the government's present labor board was meant to function only in cases in which the big railroad unions were involved. In this statement Mr. Lemus presaged just what would happen to the porters' contentions. And while he represents another group of railwa employees, yet his predictions have followed as true as might follow day. Only recently he averred that the fate of the porters rested with the porters themselves. Now comes the successor of the late Samuel Gompers with the assertion that the public is not yet educated to a state of sympathy with the Pullman porter's cause. It requires no seer to interpret the labor leader's hint that the members of the porters' organization need expect no help from the government in acquiring the relief for which they are contending.

Trenton, N. J.
Trenton N. J.—Counselor Robert Queen left Trenton on Sunday on the special train of the New Jersey delegation to the Republican National Convention as the guest of the Republican National Committee.
It should now be obvious to the most credulous among the porters that their last resort is the Pullman Company and the public. It is said that it is useless for the porters to appeal to their employer, which, perhaps is true. He that as it may, there is one thing that is certain—a strike will not be the means by which they can force this employer to see the justice of their contitions. Hence if it will not hear their cause, the only other medium is the traveling public.

But in going to the public the porters will have to realize several things. One is that they will not get the publie's sympathy through vilifying their employer. It will make no difference who does the slendering. If their spokesmen do it, it will not react to then disadvantage just as much as if they themselves indulged in it. The next is they will need to prove that they merit this sympathy.
Not one, but nine out of ten porters will have to demonstrate to the publie that they are entitled to what they ask for.
The public which the Pulman porter handles is composed mostly of business men themselves, who are continually up against the labor proposition in some form or another. Furthermore, the members of this public are observing persons. For instance, a porter related to the writer an incident which was told to him recently by a passenger, who rides quite frequently with this porter. The passenger was on Southern trip last winter with his family. Here is the passenger's observation of the porter in charge of those rooms: "I saw the minute I boarded the train that the porter of my car was not up to his job, but we managed to make out with him during the trip. When we arrived at our destination I tipped him five dollars, not through any appreciation of the service he had rendered, but merely because it is usually my custom to tee the porter on a journey of that length."

Bridgenort, Conn.
Bridgeport, Conn — Recent arrivals at the ice cream broadcaster, Dr. and Mrs Daniel Seat in Washington, O'Criar, Sir and Mrs Grace Cresswell and Mr. and Mrs Leslie West in Baltimore, Potomac, Henry Cook, New York, the Whistler sister, Harrington, Winnipeg, George Northampton, Mass., Mr. and Mrs Henry Digg's of providence
Now that is not an isolated instance in which the porter of a car has been observed as being negligent in looking after his passengers. This case is simply noted to him, out the point that if this man had been asked if the porter designed better wages, he most likely would have replied that, to his way of thinking, most of them were setting all they were worth. Of course, if he were a broadminded person he would recall that this particular porter was only one of many porter. Still, the public is like the individual. It judges the many by the actions of the few.

If the members of the 'porters' brotherhood would reach the sympathy of the traveling public, as they have been advised, they would do well to start out proving to the public that they are deserving of its sympathy and help.
Enlusing the help of the Pullman patrons will be a job strictly up to the porters. And this may be obtained only to the extent that the porters realize that it will be service to their passengers and not assertions as to what they want and should have.
The birthday party at the residence of Mrs Jenne Brown of Seaside avenue last Saturday evening, was largely attended and many fine presents were received. Mrs Bessie Brown of Crescent Avenue entertained guests from Besside, Mass. recently.
Pullman Porters As Opportunists

Have the members of the Pullman porters group, more than the members of any other group of Negro workers, been recruited in taking advantage of their opportunities for racial progress.
M. * Iva Bridgegott spent the
summer with friends in New
Haven.
In other words, have Fullman porters been negligent opportunities as compared with other Negro workers. The idea for this question was given birth at the annual memorial services of the Pullman Porters Benefit Association, which were held in Absyman Baptist Church, this city, on Sunday evening, June 3. The father of the race was the church's assistant pastor, Rev. W. W. Monroe, who presided the memorial sermon at those services. Rev. Mr. Monroe, who is a young man, and according to his own confession, somewhat of an opportunist himself, having reached his present post of assistant to the pastor was the route of window washer, furniture tender and floor mover in the Baptist Temple, remarked during his discourse that the Pullman compartment had given the porters wonderful opportunities to make substantial men out of themselves, but that they had obviously failed to take advantage of these opportunities by bring content to reman porters.
William Nichols, Sherman Langer and J. I. Dawes enjoyed a long motor tour four Sundays, June 19.
Mrs. Augustine Paulsen of New Haven spent the past Sunday with her husband, Mr. Fred Hibson of South Main street entertained friends from New Bedford during the past week. They enjoyed a motor tour through the Connecticut Valley
Mr. and Mrs. William Blackwell and Beaenwood avenue entertained friends from Washington, D.C. the past weekend.
Jacques Laurence was the guest of Elder and Mrs. James, William of Charles street last Sunday.
The observation struck this writer as containing a certain modicum of truth. On the other hand, it gave the thought that the young passor was a little too narrow in this particular case. To begin with, if one is going to speak, of neglected opportunities, where Negroes are concerned, it would be well for one not to designate any given group. The whole racial field is so full of tares through lost opportunities, that to pick out any one spot for depreciation is hardly fair to that particular pot. Of course, in this instance, it was the porter who were being addressed. For the speaker to have observed in which way Negroes, lawyers, preachers, merchants and members of other groups have failed to grasp and improve their chances, would have been equally unfair. But no group of Negroes in this country, whether of the professional or unprofessional class, can well afford to disparage another group; the record of each is about the same when "what might have been" is hypothesis for observation.
Mrs. Helen Finkerio of Goodlett street entertained Mr. and Mrs. Tony Pinto of New Bedford, Mass, the past weekend.
Mr and Mrs. Herman Smith entertained guests at dinner Sunday, June 10.
Mr and Mrs Thomas Harris of Baltimore were weekend guests of Mrs Messy Gunther.
Funeral services for the late Walter S. Girdley of 21 Uffield street, were filled June 3, were held street, St. Mark's Episcopal Church Wednesday, with the Rev. Aaron Coffee, rector, officiating. Interment was at Park Cemetery. The deceased is survived by a widow, three daughters and two sons.
Now in the case of the Pullman porters, no one can well deny that, as a group, they have permitted golden chances for improvement to slip away from them. But, on the other hand, take them as individuals and it may be said without fear of contradiction that, consider, everything, they have done extremely well. In saying this, the picture ones of the porter who never expects to be anything else but a porter. For himself, he knows the future holds nothing in store, but all there is a son, perhaps two of them; then, maybe there are daughters. These same day will be the agents through whom he will make his contribution to the progress of the race.
Funeral services for the late William O. Nell of 98 Fulton street were held Thursday afternoon, June 7, from the funeral hall of Henry E. Bishop. Interment at Park Cemetery. The East Side Social Club entertained relatives and friends at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. William Collier, 452 Broad street, last Friday evening. A fine dinner was served and music and games enjoyed. Mrs. Susie Reeves of 21 Towson avenue recently arrived friends from Atlantic City the past week. Leroy Wetersfield of Pittsburgh was the weekend guest of Mr. and Mrs. Reeves.
Another image is seen. It is of a porter whose son is perhaps studying law, or it may be business, then again it may be medicine, the boy is the old man's heart. From work to home and from home back to work has been the veteran's routine and sole recreation for many years. And why has he kept up this monotonous grind all these years? Why doesn't he take a day off occasionally, like other men? There are days when his very soul reels against the dead life of work or work! Perhaps, he will later; but not until his boy gets his diploma. It will be his contribution to the advancement of his race.

Tulaa, Okla.—The closing days of the seven-day annual conference of the Presbyterian Church, held here where anti-Negro prejudice still lingers was featured by the adoption of report citations by the Bills and Overtures which sought "the fundamental unity of humanity and to practice Christian brotherhood." The Church 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 Asks that in due time one of its meetings may be held within the bounds of one of the synods within which both races are strongly represented, both of whom may share in its entertainment, and it is prepared at any time to receive national missions to this effect.
This report upset the traditions of Southern delegates. It was the answer of the assembly to the racial problem, which cropped out in the Negro Commissioners were forced to sit apart from white, and when the annual good fellowship dinner, through local race prejudice, had to be called off. The delegates had decided that the banquet, forced for the banquet, be held because of racial prejudice here.
Many Negro Delegates
Following the passing of the measure and a vote of good will to the Negro Commissioners, the delegates end routine affairs and engaged, in Memorial Services. The next annual meeting, the fifteenth, will be held at St. Paul, MN. Most Southern Presbyterians belong not to the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, but to the Presbyterian Church in the United States (Southern). The split dates back to before the Civil War and was caused by many colored ministers and elders of the church were in attendance at this conference, which met in the First Presbyterian Church. The Rev. Charles R. Winthrop of Boston headed the New England delegation; the Rev B. F. Glasco was second in the Irish Presbyterian group, and the Rev J. S. St. James of St. James, New York, was placed third in the sixteen delegates from the New York Presbytery.

The girl charged that on June 26, 1927, she was in the kitchen downstairs, forced her into the dining room and attacked her, caping from him, the girl home and told her mother. Dr. S. S. Bruington was called in and made an examination, report signs of evidence of assault, which from 15 years had been a virgin.

Phantom Boy Scout
Hello, Scouts! Well, this is a real busy week in our district. That long looked for Field Day is on Saturday. There are certain features I ought to remind you fellowes of, so well be sure to have a coffee break. First of all, every Scout who intends to enter any of the races must weigh in Saturday morning, June 16, between 9 and 10:30 at the Urban League. Second, the scout is an entry fee for event he enters. Scout for every event he enters. This must be paid before the Scout enters the race. Third, every Scout and Scoutmaster should be present, the Scout whether he is going to run or not, and the Scoutmaster to aid him. Then Saturday night, the Scoutmasters are going to have a banquet. They tell me all the assistants and troop committeemen will be there. The main topic is going to be How We Can Make Our District Boy Scout, "Why Our Boys Register So Late for Camp."
On June 20, which is next week,

JUNE PICNIC IS ENJOYED BY BEAUX ART CLUB OF YWCA
No longer is the attitude of the Beaux-Arts Club girls of the West 137th Street. Y. M. C. A. lukewarm towards pincers, for the picnic, at Van Cortlandt Park on June 3 surely put pincers on the map, or rather in the program of the Beaux-Arts Club for ever and aye! There were eighteen boys and girls in the party; there was a gorgeous warm day, for the picnicing, plenty of "pitching" and a lively spirit of good fellowship. Rowing on the lake; hard fought baseball battles, basking in the sunshine, and consuming large quantities of sandwiches and soda water were the chief features of the picnic. The girls plan to have another one soon. The industrial girls conference will be held at Summit Lake Camp from June 23 to July 6. 116a Bochulter is going from the Beaux-Arts Club and Ruby Bailey is hoping to arrange her schedule so that she too will be accompanied by Miss Ophelia, Shields of the branch staff.
Iva Caines, also of the Beaux-Arts Club, is planning to study this summer at the Barnard Summer School for Women Workers in Industry. The club girls are young women in the university interested in the serious problems of life and many of them take advantage of the summer conferences and schools for the study that will make them better workers, better citizens, and more fully equipped for the adventure of life. Carrie McKenzie, the popular president of the Beaux-Arts Club, will have the distinction this summer of attending Silver Bay Community Conference—perhaps the most sophisticated conference of this section. Other Silver Bay delegates will be Mrs. W. A. Carson of the Committee of Management; Miss Nora Jiles of the staff; and Mrs. MaBelle W. Williams, business and industrial secretary.
Miss Leolya Nelson, director of the Physical Department, has recently returned from an eight days conference of physical directors held at Camp Kaklet in Sudley, Md. Camp Kaklet is a summer camp inington Y, W. C., A., and is one of the most beautiful and well equipped camps in the country. Among the many-delights of the conference was a trip to Annapolis for June Day. It is time to swim – the warm days are here and you can open every day from 3 to 9:30 p.m.
We are grateful to Miss Ella Lemelie for the gift of magazines for the Branch.
Much interest has been excited among staff officials and workers at the West 137th street Y. W. C. A. and patrons of the cafeteria, at the West 137th street L. L. and lar cafeteria cashier, Miss Clarissa A. Gwathmey, is to be married at an early date to Frederick B. Johnson, formerly of Savannah, Ga, but now a clerk in the New York City office.

Library Asks Return Of Books Borrowed
Miss Ernestine Rose, branch librarian in charge of the West 135 street branch, New York Public Library, is making a request of borrowers of books asking that volumes so obtained be returned at once so that the library shelves may be kept supplied.
Many persons holding library cards have removed from addresses recorded and thoughtlessly have not bothered about returning books they are supposed to up books and return them to the library. This causes other readers to be deprived of book opportunities they seek.
