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)

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.

"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

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.

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.

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.

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.

D. Rockefeller Jr. Delivers His First Commencement Address At 1928 Commencement, Fisk University Declares Education's Purpose Is To Fit The Individual For Useful, Well-Rounded Life And Not Merely To Make Money Success
Nashville, Tenn.—John D. Rockefeller jr., speaking at the fifty-fourth commencement exercises of Fisk University, the South's oldest reasons college of Fisk University, the South's oldest college for Negroes, cited three reasons why he was delivering his first commencement day address at any institution.
In giving his reason he also enunciated his philosophy of the vast and reason of money. The first reason for his presence, he said, was "as a tribute of admiration and regard for the men and women of the South; the second was "as an evidence of interest and belief in the Negro race" and the third reason was to honor a man.
York City, gave the baccalaureate address on Sunday and addressed the alumni on Monday night.
The first awarding of the degree of master of science in chemistry was made to Frederick Augustine Brown, and a special bachelor of arts degree was made to Mrs. Etnah Rochon Boutte of New York, whose college work was interrupted in 1918 by the World
A Man of Broad Vision.
"There is a man among you of broad vision, imagination, fearless, indomitable, high-minded, able, whose hands I have counted it a privilege to help hold up," said Mr. Rockefereller. "I have come here to honor him. He is my friend, your leader. President Jones.
"Some of you are thinking as I stand before you what you would do with the money associated with the name of Rockefeller. Money in itself is lifeless, impotent, sterile. A man with a thousand dollars in gold on the desert might die of hunger or of thirst. He might go mad and perish under the sun's rays, and the gold would not help him. But men, with his brain, brawn, imagination, using money as his servant, may feed the hungry, cure the diseased, make the desert places to bloom, bring beauty into life. The world sadly needs men with trained minds, vision, integrity, the spirit of service. We are always looking for men of this kind. Your president is such a man. You will never have difficulty in getting rid of him. There are a dozen opportunities that would be immediately be offered to him were he free.
"And now you know the three real reasons which have brought me here. At this point I find myself greatly embarrassed. I never made a commencement address in my life; have no idea what one is expected to say on such an occasion. President Jones implied that brevity is a cardinal virtue—that advice I can follow. To tell the truth, I have no address to deliver. Instead, I merely want to propound a single question and briefly suggest an answer.
Purpose of Education.
"This is the question: What is the purpose of Education? It is not to cram the mind with dates, formulae, facts, figures, important as such information is; to make shrewd lawyers whose chief aim is to make money, last concern that justice be done; to turn out doctors who reckon their success in dollars collected rather than in human suffering, relieved. In human life saved; to train teachers who think of their profession simply as a way of making a living; to fit men for a business life that is sharp, slick, shady; to make artisans and agriculturists whose interest centres in ever shorter hours, maximum pay, minimum output. Obviously, everyone should make a living and properly, education ought to help to that end, but the chief-end of existence is not to make a living, but to make a life. May it not well be, then the answer to our question is that the purpose of education is to fit the individual to live a useful, well-rounded life in the environment in which he finds himself.
Work Is: Essential.
"A useful life—not self-sim, unproductive, wasteful, vicious, but a useful life that means service"; one talent, use it well; if you have one talent, use it well; if you have ten talents, ten times as much is expected of you. The modern world thinks too much of its rights, too little of its responsibilities. The first aim of education should be to fit one to live usefully. Equally should education fit one to live a well rounded life. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Work is essential for everyone, but other things are needed also—play, recreation, love, worship, beauty, birds, flowers, sunsets, art, music, literature, duty, parenthood, citizenship, social.
Education should fit one to lead a useful, well rounded life, but it will have failed of the complete accomplishment of its task unless it fits the individual to live such a life in the environment in which he finds himself, wherever, whatever that may be. It is easy to say how useful, well rounded a life we would live if we were somewhere else. But education's problem is 'to fit us to live that kind of a life where we are, wherever our lot is cast.
Julius Rosenwald Speaks.
Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, distinguished philanthropist, was not on the regular program, but Dr. Paul Cravath, president, board of trustees, called on him, and Mr. Rosenwald responded with a fine talk. The address, by Dr. Bruce R. Payne, president of Peabody College, compared education to a reservoir, which is useless unless there is a pipe from it to deliver the water to where it is needed. Dr. George E. Haynes, secretary, Church and Race Relations, Federal Council of Churches, New
York City, gave the baccalaureate address on Sunday and addressed the alumni on Monday night. The first awarding of the degree of master of science in chemistry was made to Frederick Augustine Brown, and a special bachelor of arts degree was made to Mrs. Etnah Rochon Boutte of New York, whose college work was interrupted in 1918 by the World War. Special interest attaches to the special degree awarded Mrs. Boutte. She was a senior in 1917 when male members of that class were drafted and sent to Camp Grant for service in France. Her husband, Capt. M. V. Boutte, was also assigned to Camp Grant and Mrs. Boutte left Fisk for that place, where she was eventually assigned by General Barnum to instruct the men in the French language. Later, she came to New York, and for twenty-four months was director of the Circle for Negro War Relief.
Since then, she has won her degree from Columbia and her master's degree from Cohambia and University of Paris. She has also a degree in pharmacy from Cohambia and diplomas as teacher of French. Notwithstanding these honors, Dr. Cravath, in introducing Mrs. Boute to Mr. Rockefeller, said: "Here is a young woman who has a hachelon of science degree from Columbia and a master's and a arts degree from Columbia and The University of Paris, but she comes back to Fisk for her bachelor of arts degree, prizing it above all the others."
Endowment Now $1,290,000
At the trustee meeting on June 5, President Jones reported the million dollar endowment fund as definitely established, with $1,290,000 carefully invested. Contributions toward this year's operating expenses and special grants for special projects included $25,000 from Julius Rosenwald; $10,000 from the Laura Speelman Rockefeller Memorial; $2,500 from Lamont Dupont of Wilmington, Del.; $2,000 from Cyrus H. McCormick of Chicago, and $1000 from Charles A. Stone of New York.
Mr. Rockefeller was accompanied by Mrs. Rockefeller. He exhibited particular interest in the new site for Meharry Medical College, adjoining the Pisk campus. The development of this great medical school and hospital home will proceed rapidly and it is expected that some of the buildings will be available within the course of two or three years.
Nashville and its citizens exhibited intense interest in the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller, and there were evident many exhibitions of cordiality and goodwill, including a dinner tendered them by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, with Mr. and Mrs. Rosenwald and Dr. Cravath also as guests. The annual concert on Tuesday, the commencement exercises on Wednesday and the Chamber of Commerce dinner Wednesday evening were all broadcast.

Summer Complaint
Summer complaint, intestinal intoxication, acute intestinal gastro- cholera infantum, summer diarrhoea, are all names for the same condition. Breast feeding is the surest safeguard against the diarrhoeal diseases of summer. Even on the breast there may be difficulties. Over-feeding is as dangerous as the opposite. Many mothers interpret every cry of the child as hunger or put the child to the breast frequently as a pacifier. This establishes a vicious circle, cry-feeding-indigestion- cry. Soon this is linked with vomiting, diarrhoe and fever. Whether or not to reduce the length of feeding or increase the interval must be determined by your doctor. We may have to deal with under-feeding on the breast which is easily remedied by the addition of a bottle. The point is that under-feeding will cause frequent bowel movements and colic. Thirdly, in the matter of breast feeding is weaning in summer. Certain-

ly without a doctor's advice this is hazardous. At any rate, avoid sudden weaning and use clean cow's milk and water. Better still, breast feed two months longer.
By far the greatest number of case, of summer diarrhoea occur in the bottle-fed. This is due to (1) excessive heat; (2) overfeeding of proper milk formulae; (3) feeding of formulae of improper balance of elements; (4) feeding of spoiled milk; (5) previous nutritional disturbance. All of these result in lowered resistance which give bacteria a chance to grow and may lead to a true (6) infectious diarrhoea. We are not concerned here particularly with this latter condition. Suffer it to say that a bacterial diarrhoe with general manifestations is not influenced by withdrawal of food, whereas in the diarrhoeas of food origin, stopping the food initiates improvement. We spoke last week of heat. Summer heat produces its effects by (1) the production of an excessive body heat because the exchange of heat is not well regulated; (2) excessive external heat dimishes bodily function so that the stomach and intestines do not act properly. This reduces (3) bodily immunity—power to withstand disease producing organisms; thus (4) favoring bacterial growth. Diminished function, lessening of immunity and thus—increase of susceptibility to disease is also produced, even in the absence of summer heat. By improper feeding over a long period of time.
What constitutes improper feeding? The answer to this varies with the individual. Speaking by and large of bottle fed babies, the first offender we wish to mention is condensed milk. Why? (1) Because it is used most often without the advice of guidance of a physician. (2) Because it is excessively high in sugar, which though readily absorbed needs for its retention, water. This is why the condensed-milk fed baby is fat (2). He is not fat in the true sense but water-logged. Thus a slight infection with diarrhea means sudden and great loss of body weight. And as the child's resistance has been impaired meanwhile, it succumbs quickly. (3) Even if your condensed milk is diluted to proper sugar proportions it is still very defective in protein content—that element of the food without which there can be no substantial growth.
Then, we have improper formulas of cow's milk. The solution must be left to your doctor. The child may be overloaded in amount. This causes excessive strain on the digestive organs and bodily chemistry—metabolism—the process by which the food having been absorbed is converted into tissue or bodily tissue is broken down into waste products. Regarding improper proportion of the elements of the milk—fat, sugar and protein—the error here most often is too much sugar or fat. In general with summer, reduce the amount of food given the child.
In case of fever, vomiting, diarrhoe, and prostration your job is mother, is clearly defined as follows: 1 Stop all food.
2. Give water.
3 Do not give caster oil or paragoric.
4 Call your doctor immediately.

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-

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

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

Grace Church of Harlem
Last Sunday was a beautiful day, with clear skies and sunshine. The church was filled with a large and appreciative congregation to do honour to a most excellent service.
Hugh O. Bormi, the organist is on a four months' absence to his home in the Virgin Islands, but his plains was ably filled by Miss Jeter, the choir leader. A goodly number of the choir were absent, but what lacked in numbers was made up by the excellent singing by those present.
After the "Flower Offering" Dr. Garner called for report on Mr. New England, of which Mr. Dr. Garner was chosen moderator. Mrs. Nelson Scott responded and gave a most interesting report of the conference. Mesdames Strickland, Morse, Evans and Butler, also attended the conference, but did not report.
After Mrs. Scott's excellent report, Dr. Garner preached to the children who were present in goodly numbers, and it was also helpful to the congregants.

He brought out forcibly the characteristics which made the people a great and proud group of people back to the time of King Solomon and before, for in 1000 B. 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.

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.

"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."

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

Bunion Derby Runner
Go Back Home, June 19
A group of theatrical people, headed by Bill (Bojangles) Robinson have arranged a special midnight benefit performance at the Lafayette Theatre for Tuesday, June 19, to aid T. Josephs, the 15 year old Negro boy who completed the C. C. Style cross-country race from Los Angeles to New York, secure funds to return to his home in California.

"Blackbirds" Pleases Lester A. Walton
Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928" is a revue worth-willie reviewing as well as viewing. In it there is much to commend. When it comes to ginger and pep Broadway's latest cooled musical show has it.
The signing of "Porgy" by Cecil Mack's "Blackbirds 'Choir' at the close of the first part, with the rendition of the blues in changing tempo, makes for an effective finale.
Aida Ward is a little lady of much promise. Heretofore, singing in night clubs has been her specialty. She can make the grade in more serious work. But this will be accomplished by displaying originality at all times. Miss Ward pleasingly puts over a number without almost bursting a blood vessel. She does not seek to win applause by using a top note at the finish. Her manner is unaffected.
As a tap dancer Bill Robinson, equally well known as "Bojangles," is in a class by himself. But that's not new. He has been for many a day. He is a valuable addition to any attraction. His race owes him a debt of gratitude for NOT "patent leathering" his hair. It brings back memories of bygone days to see him in the same company with his old partner. George W. Cooper, who is just as good a straight man today as "Bojangles" is a dancer. "Adelaide Hall demonstrates her versatility by singing, dancing and doing lines, besides making an appea it othe eye. A hard and ambitious worker.
Tim Moore, somewhat fleaver than when he and Hester Moore drew large crowds to Harlem theatres, is funny as ever. Long ago he would have been a popular Broadway comedian had the opportunity come to him. Blue McAllister, Mantan Moreland and Lloyd Mitchell assist in the fun-making.
Her name is not on the program. She is a chorus girl—but some chorus girl—rather some dancing girl! Built for speed, she moves about with abandon and grace. What rhythm? Reference is made to the energetic miss to the right of Bill Robinson in the second part.
The chorus girls are of tender age and attractive looks, Wilton Crawley, clarinetist; Earl Tucker and Crawford Jackson, dancers, and Billie Cortez, tenor, also are contributory factors to an enjoyable entertainment.
The comedy material may not be new but it gets results. The second part, suggestive of a vaudeville entertainment, could be strengthened by another specialty—something to excite the admiration of the eye. Revues are unusually spectacular throughout. Allie Ross can brag about his orchestra in Harlem barber shops and prove that he knows what he is talking about. His aggregation of musicians can give an evening's entertainment all along. Lew Leslie plans to present a new edition of his Blackbirds each year. He has made a creditable beginning. Good luck to him. J. A. W.

Mrs. Charles W Kelly as "Mrs. Fisher," and Miss A Cecile Johnson as "Amy," her daughter, carried their parts with convincing ease and with splendid interpretation, as did also Mrs. Robert R. Taylor as "Clara," older daughter of Mrs. Fisher. Capt. Frank L. Drye as "Frank Hyland," Joseph C. Carpenter as "Mr. Fisher," Capt. Arthur Hawes as "Joe," J. Julius Flood as "Mr. Gill," and Col. W.

Bill (Bojangles) Robinson, who is featured in Lew Leslie's "Black Birds of 1928" now playing at the Liberty Theatre, New York City, has issued a warning to all those who have been doing and trying to do his original creation of tap dancing, up and down a pair of stairs, that no one will be permitted, with or without credit to him, or by mention of his name, or otherwise. And that goes for both sides of the ocean.

"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.
About a dozen other numbers made up the Bill, which was closed by the JohnC. Smith Modern Society Orchestra.
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

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.

The faithful were plainly perturbed and a lieutenant who introduced Garvey seemed frightened by the vast and empty distances, but the 'provisional' president 'was serene and oblivious. The intro-ference to Garvey as the modern John John Garvey' Garvey advancing 'became impressively, his fog-horn, voice echoing thunderously as follows:
"Fellow Citizens of the Bristish Empire:

Garvey Interrupted by Interruption.
Garvey hesitated, taken aback.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.—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."

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.

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.

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.

He put the best people of Mississippi to thinking. At the last session which made possible this $425,000 for the state college Dr. Redmond placed before every member of the Mississippi Legislature and other makers of memorandum in the body of fact and figures on "Negro Education in Mississippi" which he prepared.

She proved it long ago in "Passion" and "Gypsy Blood" which she made abroad. Called the "Hour" it was written and directed by Rowland V. Lee who directed Miss Negra in her sensational success "Battle Wire." The new picture is at the Lincoln Theatre all the 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.

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.

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.
