Witnesses Weaken As Patrolman Reilly's Case Is Heard Harlem's Colored Ice Dealers Are Making Determined Fight For Share Of Business Among Their Own People Negro icemen are efficiently functioning in Harlem in their effort to win some part of the race business and to hold it in competition with the Italian and other dealers who have hitherto had a practical monopoly in serving ice to the homes of Harlem.

Witnesses Harlem's Colored Ice D Making Determined F Of Business Among Th Landlords, Agents, and Super League With Italian Dea Bar Negro Icemen From Negro icemen are efficientl lem in their effort to win some ness and to hold it in competi and other dealers who have hit monopoly in serving ice to the Some weeks ago The Age told of the organizing of the Negro ice dealers with the idea of concentrating their efforts for mutual support and uniformity in handling the business and this quickly proved to be a sensible and profitable proposition. One of the recent developments resulting from the combining of interests by the colored men, is an attempt on part of some of the white dealers to cut the price of ice, below even the wholesale rate in supplying restaurants and other large users, as was shown in last week's Action in a story telling of the action of Dennis Grice, manager of the St. Luke's Dining Room, West 130th street, who changed from a Negro to a white ice man when the latter offered ice at 75 cents a cake, 25 cents per hundred pounds the wholesale price being 90 cents a cakes, or 30 cents per hundred. More Sharp Dealings Another story comes to The Age concerning the addition of a grocer on West 135th street, a Hebrew, who had been buying ice from J. T. Thomas, 'of 172 West' 135th street 'paying' $1.05 per cake, 35 cents a hundred, weight, just 5 cents more than the wholesale price. The Hebrew merchant made a demand upon Mr. Thomas for a 10 cents per cake rate, but the ice man refused the concession. The wife of the ice man had been a customr of the groceryman, and after the latter did not get the cut price of ice asked for, Mrs. Thomas charges that he attempted first to shortweight her in the selling of rice and sugar, and then to short change her in adjusting her purchases. When Mrs. Thomas transferred her custom to a colored grocer, recently opened for business near her home, the Hebrew merchant abruptly took away his ice business of Harlem are said to be responding satisfactorily to their requests from Mr. Thomas, transferring it to an Irish ice dealer in the neighborhood. An Italian iceman, with a cellar on the same block, was seen to chuckle-when he noticed the white man putting ice into the Hebrew's store, the Negro ice dealer looking on, not discouraged, but with a look which distinctly implied the thought that "Who laughs last laughs best." Dealers Are Determined The spirit among the race ice dealer is reported to be one of fine determination, and the people for patronage. As an example of the growth of their business, Mr. Thomas reports that his weekly deliveries have increased from a total of 250 to 265 cakes of ice each weighing 300 pounds, to from 400 from 450 cakes during each week. The expansion of his business has necessitated the opening of two branch plates one each at 202 West 137th and 163 West 136th streets. An example of what the Negro iteman has to contend with in attempting to serve customers in one of the large apartment hous- HENRY STEWART GIVEN FELLOW P. O. WORKER AFTER 37 YEARS IN Henry J. Stewart of 4521 Carpenter Avenue. The Bronx, was honored by fellow employees at the West Farm Post Office last week when he was presented with a 14-karat gold watch, chain and knife as a testimonial of their regard. The citation was made on the tie of Mr. Stewart's retirement after 30 years as a letter carrier in the postal service. Mr. Stewart entered the government service in Lynchburg, Va., in 1901. After carrying mail in Lynchburg for 19 years, he married Miss Salal Moore, a New Yorker, as his second wife, and succeeded her by transferring to New York. He was at first attached to The New York Age es is shown by Raymond Jones of 215 West lj48th street vice-president of the Harlem ice Dealers' Association in connection with the opening of the new Florence Mills Apartment on Edgecombe avenue above 150th street. Agent Stopped Race Iceman One of the colored icemen a member of the association, had a number of customers who had moved into this building, but when he attempted to serve them he was stopped by the agent and superintendent, who told him that he could not serve tenants in that building. But Mr. Jones, who was called in by the iceman, reminded the agent and superintendent of the city law, under which a dealer, paying license for the privilege of serving his customers, could not legally be barred from any building. Not understanding this, the agent persisted in his stand, declaring only the Italian iceman was privileged to serve tenants in that building. Then Mr. Jones asked the colored dealer if there were any of his customers in that building, and when told that there were, he directed the man to go ahead and display time warning the agent and superintendent not to interfere. The determined stand taken by Mr. Jones, combined with the legality of his position, overcame objections and the race man has been serving his customers ever since. It developed later, it is alleged, that the Italian ice man had paid a substantial bonus either to the landlord, the agent or the superintendent, and that their endeavor to bar the Negro dealer was based on a desire to keep faith and deliver the trade of the tenants to the man who had paid for that privilege, even though the payment itself was of neither legal nor moral value. Fruit Dealers Must Keep Sliced Watermelon And Cantaloupe Covered Captain John Noble and police of the 16th Precinct have been instructed to issue summonses to all fruit dealer selling watermellon and cantelope by the slice, who allow them to be exposed to dust and dirt from the street. These fruits must be in a glass enclosure, says Inspector Ryan, in issuing the order. Inspector Ryan has also issued an order for the arrest of all medicine fakers and street peddlers selling in Harlem without a license. These orders came as a result of complaints by Alderman Fred R. Moore, who has also made a complaint to the Department of Health for an investigation into the condition of butcher shops and fish stands in Harlem Station I. Columbus avenue and 105th street, and was later transferred to Station H. 103rd street, between Columbus and Amsterdam avenues. Several years later he was transferred to the West Farm station, where he became immensely popular with his fellow employees because of his cheerful disposition and uncomplaining nature. Mr. Stewart is the father of three children, his oldest son, being professor of music at the Virginia Institute Seminary and College at Lynchburg. His second child, a daughter, is a public school teacher at Big Stone Gap, Va. The other daughter is married and resides in Baltimore. DR. H. W.

Of the $319,568.09 subscribed $161,075.19, or a little more than half, was raised by the colored organization from a total of 6,214 subscribers averaging $25.94 each. The balance, $158,492.90, was raised by the white organization from 873 subscribers averaging $181.54. Included in the amount from the organization, were two large subscriptions-one for $35,000 from the Julius Rosenwald Fund, and the other for $27,000 from "a friend of Mercy Hospital." The two largest colored contributors were $2,500 from John T. Gibson, and $2,000 from George W. Deane. The new nurses' home will be built on the hospital's four acre site on Woodland avenue, between 50th and 51st streets. Mayor Harry A. Mackey was honorable chairman of the campaign committee; J.

Y., SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1928 Decision Reserved Following Trial Of Patrolman Reilly For Shooting Of James Sessoms On May 15, Last Although he escaped indictment by the Grand Jury, Patrolman Charles Reilly of the 16th Precinct was brought to trial before Deputy Commissioner Felix Muldoon in connection with the shooting to death of James Sessoms, a Negro citizen, at 64 West 125th street early on the morning of May 15. The trial was held at Police Headquarters on Friday, July 13. After hearing the testimony of various witnesses, the Commissioner, who has the power to reprimand, fine or dismiss Reilly from the service. reserved his decision. An interesting feature of the hearing was the presence of Magistrate Joseph E. Corrigan, who had held Reilly without bail in Homicide Court following the shooting, on the bench with the Commissioner Magistrate Corrigan expressed himself freely to newspaper reporters and said that he was certain from the evidence presented, in his court that Patrolman Reilly had violated police regulations, and in his opinion should be brought to trial for murder. Dr. Oliver Pressed Charge. Another interested spectator was Dr. Hudson J. Oliver, until recently exalted, ruler of Monarch Lodge, No. 45, I. B.-P. O. E. of W. The late Mr. Sessoms was a member of this lodge, and because of this fact, Dr. Oliver gave up his time and went to considerable trouble to see that the charges against the patrolman were pressed. The weakness of the case against the policeman seems to lie in the fact that the principal eyewitness of the whole affair, Lambert Ford, is an ex-convict, with a record of six convictions against him. Then, too, the testimony of Ford, and that of John Connors, another witness against Riley, conflicted on two points. Ford accounted for his actions an hour before the murder by saying that he was in the confectionery and cigar store at 63 West 135th street, doing the janitor's work. But Connors testified that he went into the cabaret in the basement of the building at 61, and there met Ford. Ford insisted that he had not been in the cabaret, nor had he been in Sessoms apartment, where several friends had gathered following a dance given by the Sons of Norfolk in New York. Lambert Ford's Testimony Ford said that he saw Sessoms coming out of his house and saw him approached by the policeman. With two other friends, he was standing five feet away when he heard Sessoms say, "I won't give you anything." Then he alleges Reilly hit Sessoms in the back with his club and ordered the crowd to scatter. Sessoms grabbed the club, the witness testified, and the policeman demanded that he release it. Sessoms is said to have answered, that he would turn the club loose, but for the policeman not to strike him again. Ford said that Sessoms then turned the club loose and started to walk toward Fifth avenue, when the policeman 'drew his gun and fired, striking him in the back of the head. Another witness against the policeman, Richard Underwood of All West 135th street, testified that he was in Sessoms' apartment half an hour before the shooting, when the policeman came up and spoke 16 Sessoms. He testified that Sessoms borrowed three dollars from him and went back and talked further with the policeman, who then went downstairs. A few minutes later Sessoms left the party and went out. Reilly Denies Charges Patrolman Reilly denied that he knew Sessoms, or that he had ever been to his apartment. He said that he was suspicious of men loitering in the neighborhood because of a burglary that had been committed at the confectionery store a few nights before. He testified that he wept up and told the men to scatter. His night stick was under his arm and he alleges that Sessoms grabbed it and made a "pass" at his head with it. The policeman says he got hold of one end and Sessoms had the other. Reilly says he demanded three times that Sessoms release the stick on the door. When failed to do so, the policeman says he fired one shot, and then Colored Lawyers Make Charge That Leader Abraham Grenthal Grabs All Receiverships Available For Self Struggling Young Attorneys, In Need Of Legitimate Opportunities Are Sidetracked, While Grenthal Has Had Ten Such Jobs The appointment of Assemblyman Abraham M. Grenthal, Republican leader of the 19th Assembly District, to another receivership has occasioned increasing dissatisfaction among struggling young colored lawyers who have been loyal in their support of the Republican Party. called a taxicab and took the dying man to the Harlem Hospital The patrolman was unable to produce witnesses to substantiate his charge that Sessoms struck at him with the stick, or refused to release it when commanded to do so. However, he had numerous character witnesses in fellow officers of the 16th Precinct, Captain John Noble, Lieutenant Patrick Hargetty, Sergtg, Healey and Joyce all gave him a good character, and his service record showed that there had not been a complaint against him since 1919, previous to the shooting. He has been a dead man since 25 years and has been 'been' this beat for seven years. The widow and brother of the dead man were also present, and expressed themselves as being pleased with the fairness with which Commissioner Muldoon conducted the inquiry. Colored Lawyers M Leader Abraham O Receiverships A Struggling Young Atto gitimate Opportunit While Grenthal Has The appointment of A Grenthal, Republican lead District, to another recei creasing dissatisfaction an ored lawyers who have be the Republican Party. They say no influence is exerted to get them any such recognition and point to the fact that Grenthal has now rounded out for himself his tenth receivership. Young white lawyers in the district are also said to be in a bad humor, claiming that they, too, are being left out in the cold when it comes to getting the district leader to go to the front for them. Not Even A Custodian. In the receiverships to which Grenthal has been appointed, it is charged that he has not recognized his colored constituency by naming even one of the ten or more custodians who are paid from $5 to $6 a day. Rumors are allot in the district that already a deal has been made with Tammany Hall leaders to run a "dummy" on the Republican ticket for State Senator, who is to seek favorable consideration at the hands of the G. O. P., after going down to defeat. The young white man slated to play the heroic role and ultimately to be taken care of after he has been sacrificed at the polls, like Grenthal, does not live in the 19th Assembly District. His political activities are said to have been started a year ago. One of his distinguished feats was in doing what he could last fall to defeat the colored Republican candidate for Alderman.

That Negro voters are waking up to disgraceful conditions which up to last November resulted in the defeat at the polls of all colored candidates for the Assembly and the Board of Alderman, brought about by a deal between the white leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties in the lower end of the district, is made evident by the frank expressions of disapproval being made against a continuance of the Grendhal domination.

PERRY W. HOWARD AND OTHER NEGRO REPUBLICAN LEADERS ARE INDICTED IN MISSISSIPPI Southern Lily Whites Make Charges Of Offering Federal Offices For Sale, But Charges Are Denied Biloxi, Miss.—Failing in their pre-convention attempts to eliminate the Negro from political consequence in the Republican ranks, the lily-whites, it is alleged, are now resorting to the Criminal Courts by obtaining indictments of Negro party leaders on charges that they have accepted money in return for allotting political offices to the various aspirants. The indictment of E. L. Patten followed by his arrest and release on bail last week, on a charge of trafficking in Federal offices, has been followed by similar indictments against Perry W. Howard, National Committeeman, and Special Assistant U. S. Attorney General; Attorney S. D. Redmond, who is Patten's legal representative; his brother, A. M. Redmond, a druggiat, and Scott Hubbard of Maggee. Mr. Patten, following his arrest together with Tannehill, issued a statement denying that they had received any money, but declared that they had been offered money by men who did not receive any appointment and who became angered when their money was refused and they were disqualified for the To Embarasa Republicans. These indictments follow investigations by the Senate Committee, naming of which was authorized by resolutions introduced by the U. S. Senators from Georgia and Mississippi, who thought they saw a chance to embarrass the Coolidge Administration and lessen the chances of Hoover in the coming campaign. To this has been added the desire of the southern lily whites to get rid of the Negro influence in Republican party councils, and it is alleged that they have joined hand and heart with the Democrats, believing that if the Negro leaders are eliminated the lily whites will come into their own. Dr. P. J. Lloyd Dies In North Carolina Home White men in Mississippi are charging that Howard, Redmond, Patten and the others have dealt in United States Marshalships, District Attorneyships and Postmasterships, offering them at from $1,500 to $2,000 apiece, and they have filed affidavits to this effect with the Department of Justice at Washington.

It is pointed out by Washington observers that these development are part of a scheme to help Hoover in the border stages by putting the party in hands of whites and so overcome southern resentment over Hoover's recent anti-jim crow orders in the Department of Commerce.

New's Testimony About Southern Selling Of Post Offices Creates Sensation Throws Monkey Wrench Into Machinery of Senate Investigatig Committee Which Seeks To Incriminate Georgia and Mississippi Men Washington, D. C.—Reactions of the Coolidge Administration to charges of post office and other Federal job sales in Georgia and Mississippi have put this national gossip hatchery into a ferment of confusion and speculations. Obviously, the situation at present is paradoxical. Mrs. Willebraud, d. the busybody U. S. Assistant Attorney General, assigned to prohibition enforcement in Mississippi supposedly for the purpose of seeing to it that National Committeeman Perry W. Howard and Company, are properly indicted, if indicted, for "selling" Federal jobs. to handle in a Republican regime. Mr. New said that while not defending the practice of levying assessments on Federal office-holders to carry on political organizations the custom is not peculiar to Republicans in Georgia, as there are evidence of how the Georgia Deans carried on in this respect for four years. Asked to name, 1017 1018 New Throws Monkey. *Wrench.* But while Willebrandt waited on July 12 down at Biloxi on the Mississippi Gulf coast for deputy U. S. Marshals to round up the tardy 's Swamp Lems' and stupid lumber jacks summoned among ventrenne of the Grand Jury which is, to determine the fate of Howard Company, Postmaster General Harry S. S. was, more monotonous machine, machine, Senate Committee investigating alleged sales in Georgia—here at Washington. The Senate Committee appointed to go into the Georgia Senator's charges of sale of Federal offices, where the Democrat cannot be in charge of the Government and out of power, too, is composed of Senators Brookhart (R), Iowa, chairman: Oddie (D), Nevada, and Locher (D) Ohio. It sat at Atlanta for three days examining Ben Jeff Davis, erstwhile Republican National Committeeman for Georgia, and his former white associates of the State Republican organization. A member of a number of the committee Georgia U. S. Senator Georgie had as much or more to say at the Atlanta hearings than the committee Senators. Minus Georgia George, the committee came here July 12 to hear the Postmaster General; at his request. Committee. Heard Some Facts. In high gear George ran over the witnesses in Atlanta. But when Postmaster General' New had finished throwing Georgia clay into the differential and packing the carburetor with a mixture of emory-dust, South Carolina grit-sand fish scales from Brue Lake, Wisconsin, and Indiana chewing-tobacate fish scales from the old 1909 Overland turned taxi which took 29 minutes to carry me from 8th to 5th avenue the last time I was in Harlem, Accustomed to 'Democrats running amuck with Republicans in Senate, it was surprisingly refreshing, to listen to the hardboiled Harry New defend' Republicans, black and white living and dead, before Brookhart's biosbodies. White Man Was Job Broker. Instantly, the Postmaster General fung a bucketful of clay into the differential of the committee's auto of investigation when he stated the net result of investigating alleged post office sales in Georgia when he became encumbered of his office because he was the only man who was a sort of sales broker for Federal jobs. Immediately, Mr. New said he notified the National Committeeman, the late Henry Lincoln Johnson, that this white man was "TABOO" in the Post Office Department. The only other case that I of a colored man who, at the instigation of a white man named Knox, 'sold' a rural carrier's job for $200 to a man who couldn't pass the Civil Service exams, and failed of appointment, after which he demanded refund of his money which the colleged man said he had spent. Then he refused. Mr New stated. Then, he refused. Knox persuaded the colleged man to gage his cows, chickens, a 'shoe and the hind legs of his mule for $250 to raise money to pay the man WHO COULDNT pass the Civil Service examination. Knox Was Removed. Mr. New stated that he subsequently found that this Knox had been appointed postmaster, at Watermelon, Georgia, and instantly ordered his removal, which brought forth efforts on the part of Georgia Democrats to have him keep Knox in the service. He declined, stating that he told the Knox boosters—"Knox is as guilty, as the colored man who accepted, the money in the "rural carrier matter." Mr. New submitted that he had consulted Georgia Senators and Congressmen in 62 per cent of post- impeachment appointments in that State since he the Governor. This left but 38 per cent of such appointments for Republicans CHARLES E.

Mr. New said that while not defending the practice of laying assessments on Federal office-holders in the political organizations the custom is not peculiar to Republicans in Georgia, as there are evidence of how the Georgia Dean carried on in this respect for four years. Asked to name the years Mr. New snapped out, "1917, 1918, 1919, 1920" How Democrats Raised Money. He filed with the Committee a letter written by W. D. Jamison, former official of the Georgia Democratic organization, to William F. Boone, postmaster at Baxley, Georgia, (Democrat), asking Boone to raise $10 for the party as quickly as possible. He was presented from a letter written by a Georgia Dem hustling funds from officeholders in which the writer advised the write how to get away at such hustling without running afoul of the Civil Service law operating to prevent it. Mr. New detailed the case of Peterson whose fate believed to be in jeopardy by the state's persistence in pressing for investigation of alleged trafficking in Federal jobs in the State. Peterson was postmaster in some Georgia town. Smudge, maybe. When removed by, New for account shortages. Peterson said his peculiar situation. Ben Jeff Davis for the State Republican organization; that these levy aggregated over $2,000. Truth About Peterson. The Postmaster General, however, tells an entirely different story. Mr. New textified that postal inspections checked Peterson's actions on the short shorts that following the "policy" of any ministration", in the case, of any and every postmaster or postmaster's found short, he removed Peterson; that instantly the George-in Congressman was after him in selling the shorts Ben Davis levy tale; that thorough investigation, which failed to discover the least evidence in support of Peterson's charges; that evidence was found of Peterson cashing two grafts on the Postal Savings Bank at Atlanta for a total of $115, which he offered the State government after his removal; that Peterson's shortage was over $20001. Mr. New said: "Mr. Peterson then lured the money order clerk into a buggy, dug, out into the country killed the clerk, and committed suicide." He also stated that Congressman Lankford of Georgia told him (New) that Peterson admitted to Lankford that he had not told the truth about the attack. Quite obviously, Postmaster General New's frankness awakened no enthusiasm here; for though the Senate hearing room had its full quota of scribbling reporters from the daily papers and the three news photographers' took flashlights of the principals, the Republican Washington Star carried no account of his testimony, while the Post gave it small space below addresses of what's going, on down. In Mishler's book, Wilebrandt, it supposedly kicked the indictment of Perry Howard and Company But, wiseacres here mumbled Wilebrandt's real mission, in help to hinder poor Perry.

That's why the galaxial view, "jincrow", bathing pool set up by this Republican Administration at 24th and N streets, northwest will not have a white supervisor, as was first intended by Col U. S. Grant, Jrd, grandson of U. S. Grant, 1st third Republican President of the United States and commander-in-chief of the slave-ending Union armies at the close of the Civil War. This is the first of the segregated, bathing pools to be opened for Negroes, provisions for which were made in the "jincrow" bathing pool Bill, "jincrowly" amended in the U. S. Senate by Senator Corkland (Democrat), new York (Democrat) Owenstein (Democrat) North Carolina, and made law by the signature of President Coolidge, Republican. : Negro Superintendent Named. Col. Grant, superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds, purposed to place the "jimcrow" pool under supervision of the white man who is manager of all government pools here, as no colored person qualified to superintend a modern bathing pool had applied to him for the post. This announcement immediately brought. the segregation opponents, led by Neval Thomas, in mighty protest. Col. Grant told the protesting delegations that he was quite sure there are colored persons competent to supervise the jimcrow, but he assured them they were so profitably employed regularly to accept summer employment; that his purpose was to have the pool-supervised until the manager developed a colored man competent to assume direction, or a colored supervisor came from some other source. A qualified Negro, Mr. Gobb has been found, it is said, and Col Grant will assign him to superintend the first segregated pool erected by the Federal Government at the National Capitol. ALABAMA SHIRT MAKING COMPANY EMPLOYS NEGROES More Than 300 Men and Women Being Trained For Their Jobs Montgomery, "Ala—When the East Coast Manufacturing Company of Chicago, the largest manufacturer of working men's shirts in the world, opens its new branch factory here the latter part of July, it will offer employment to more than 300 men and women, all of whom are the first time. This is the first time, so far as is known, where an attempt has been made to use Negro labor in the South such an enterprise. The workers are being taken on at the rate of 20 a day, each group being trained for the employment. The building in which the factory is housed is of a thoroughly modern type. It is lighted and ventilated. It is approved ways. Heating facilities are best standards. Altogether the building and machinery will represent an investment of $150,000. Commenting editorially, the Alabama Journal states: "The significance of this Montgomery experiment lies in the opportunity which is offered to Negro employees to enter a new and important industrial field. If it is successful, and those familiar with the adaptability of the Negro to such employment have doubtless its success, it may mean the opening of a new line of endeavor to thousands of members of the race in the South. Alabama is already familiar with the manner in which much of its Negro population has been able to adopt itself to industrial employment." Closing Programs At A. & T. Summer School Greensboro, N. C. — A number of attractive program and exercises were presented recently at the summer session and T. College, J. Greene Taylor, pujikh and John Greeneette barlton are considered what is, is considered one of the great programs of the season, including their repertoire such varied selections as "Sorge Infanta," "Danny Dicever" and "Talk About a Guild that Do Love Jesus" all of which were presented with force and artistry. An interesting recitation context, which included costumed numbers of such popularity as "Laska" and "The Bells," was staged under the direction of Richard B. Harrison, a former gymnast. A reception to the summer school teachers and students by President F. D. Bluford, an hour sketch of "Hamlet," starring Mortimer Waver, and a costumed presenter of the "contanta" "Eather," directed by Messas. James Harrison, and Euler, by Wylers and B. Harrison. Chicago, Ill.—(A.N.P.) A $2,500,000 South Side apartment development of unusual scope and design is to be started within a few months, according to an announcement made Saturday by E. E. Brown, vice president of the First National Bank, who is chairman of the committee, in charge of the project. The entire block between Michigan and. Webash avenges, from Porty-sixth to Porty-seventh streets has been acquired and is to be developed with a four and five story apartment building around a central courtyard. The building will be ready for occupancy by the spring of 1929. The development is to be known as the Michigan Bophlevard Gardens. The tenants will be Negroes. The financial backing comes from Julius Rosenwald. HARMON AWARDS FOUNDER DIES IN HIS SUMMER HOME Interest In Negro From Boyhood Contacts In Four hundred apartments, ranging in size from three to five rooms, all with baths, will be provided. More than half of the apartments will be of four rooms. The building will be fireproof and all the rooms will have outside exposure, either on the street or on the garden. An unusual aspect of the undertaking is the garden or quadrangle, in a reality a small park, of three acres and more. This garden will be almost a block long and half again as wide as Michigan Boulevard. There will be plenty of room there for small children to play without any danger from automobiles. Five portals will lead from the four streets into this area. The central garden will be as attractive as lawns, trees, shrubs and flowers can make it. The building will be of face brick all around to give it an favorable an appearance from the quadrangle as from the street. No unisightly back stairways will man the view and all of the tauks and other excrecences will be cooled in the building. Not Charitable Project. Mr. Rosenwald definitely objects to this, being considered a charitable enterprise. The apartments are to be rented at a price to yield at least six per cent on the investment, and at the same time to provide improved living conditions at a considerable saving in rents. The aim is to prove that better homes than they can now afford, may be had by families of limited means with a fair return to the owner. This experiment, Mr. Rosenwald believes, will demonstrate that large scale projects can be profitably undertaken in various sections of Chicago for any group. The plans are being drawn by Eugene H. Klaber and Ernest A. Grumfeld jr., architects, with the aid of George C. Nimmons, who is chairman of the Building Committee. Henry Wright and Associates of New York, International Authorities on housing, are acting as consultants. Cheyney, Pa.—The object of the Philadelphia Children's Country Week Association is to provide recreation in the country for city children. Arrangements have been perfected at Cheyney for the accommodation of 20 city children weekly, who come to Cheyney every Monday afternoon for a stay of one week and on the following Monday morning return to Philadelphia. The camp Counselor is Miss Eliza Gibson, a member of the Cheyney family. The happiness brought to thousands of poor children; the rest and health given to tired mothers; the fresh air, wholesome food, and above all the dreams of a better, healthier life what better heals for these than all of teh discoveries of today's science! During the summer of 1927 2843 women and children spent one week at the various camps and jiones owned and conducted by the Association. These vacations for the poor children of Philadelphia and vicinity deported entirely upon the generosity of the public. Greensboro, N. C.—Advanced registration at Bennett College for Women indicates that the enrollment will be considerably. In excess of the registration during the past year. Students will come from Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and distant states. Students will be the third year students. HARMON AWARDS FOUNDER DIES IN HIS SUMMER HOME Interest In Negro From Boyhood Contacts In Western Army Post William E. Harmon, millionaire real estate dealer, who created the Harmon Foundation, which has for several years made a substantial awards for distinguished achievements by Negroes resident in America, died Sunday, July 15, at his summer home, Southport, Conn., after several years of poor health. He was 66 years old. Mr. Harmon's father, the late Lieut. William R. Harmon, was an army officer attached to the 10th U.S.' Calvary, one of the Negro regiments, and his childhood, from six to fourteen, was spent in Western army posts. Young Harmon knew intimately the Negro soldiers of the regiment and throughout his life had admiration and sympathy for the colored race. This feeling he sought to give expression to through recognition of the "Negro's achievements in art, science, business and education, and the annual awards for achievement in those lines was one of the means used. He had retired from active business but retained chairmanship of the boar dof directors of the Harmon National Real Estate Corporation. He had been succeeded by his son, W. Burke Harmon. Other surviving relatives are the Mrs. Mrs. Katherine Griffiths Harmon; two daughters, Mrs. Mary Harmon Briggs and Miss Helen Griffiths Harmon; four grand children and a brother, Clifford B. Harmon. Mr. Harmon was buried on Tuesday, July 17, from Grace Episcopal Church, Brooklyn, of which he was a vestryman.

Fri. S. T. (Special to The New York Age) Birmingham, Aa. (On) Monday, July 16, Judge William Walker of the Chancery Court appointed William H. Carter of Tuskegee Institute receiver for the Endowment Department of the Knights of Pythias of the State of Alabama. The case has been in court for nearly a year, and various actions on the part of the respondents have been taken. The controlling officers are R. A. Blount who has served as Grand Chancellor for 27 years; U. G. Mason, better known as Dr. Mason, who has served 20 years as Endowment Treasurer, I. B. Kigh, chairman of the Endowment Board who has served equally as long, and E. A. Brown, Grand Attorney. The bill alleges graft, misappropriation, waste, and collusion to the extent that hundreds of thousands of dollars have been misappropriated. While the institution is worth $600,000 with a membership of some 15,000, the complainants show by affidavits that the Order lost, under the management of Mason, by his own report, $112,000 between 1926 and 1927. Mason reported in the meeting of the Grand Lodge last week that he had spent $18,000 for lawyers in the receivership suit, and Blount in his report said that he had spent $30,000. A few months ago Mason and Blount were indicted by, the Grand Jury of Jefferson County, for the misappropriation of funds, and through the Solicitor's office succeeded in having their cases no-loss-pressed. It is expected that they will be indicted, or re-indicted, and in that number will be E. A. Brown and I. B. Kigh. Every auditor's report shows that the officers are extravagant with the funds, and disregard the Insurance Department's orders and the laws of the Order as well. The officers received $14,000 in rental collections on a piece of property in Birmingham, and they spent $14,000 in the operation of the building without showing a single improvement. The Grand, Lodge Department showed a collection of thirty-eight thousand some odd dollars from July 1927 to July 1928, and they spent for expenses thirty-eight thousand some odd dollars, reporting a balance of $18.10 in the treasury. Indications are here that the entire official staff of the Knights of Pythias is doomed. William H. Carter has posted a bond of $10,000 to operate as receiver, and the complaints have posted a bond of $10,000. Attorneys John W. Altman and Fred A. Roenig and ex-Attorney General Howell G. Davis of Gadsde. Ala., represent the complainants, while Judges Hugh E. Locke, and W. E. Fort, and ex-State Senator G. Ernest Jones represent the controlling officers. They are endeavoring to make a superdesperbond to stay the action of the court until after a review by the Supreme Court. Many arrests are looked forward to at an early date. Nashville.

Judge Sease fixed bail for Dr. Norris at $600 on each count. The bond was signed by B. E. Riley and N. B. Brown, of the firm of Brown and Riley. The charges against Dr. Norris are based upon alleged irregularities in examining applicants for insurance in the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, according to Mr. Hart, who said an investigation had been under way here for the past several months. Dr. Norris is accused of rating as "frat class" approximately 60 applicants for policies of $1,000 each when many of the individuals were old patients of the doctor. Several of the applicants had records of being treated by other physicians for various diseases, which fact the company alleges was known by Dr. Norris at the time the latter passed them as insurable risks. Mr. Hart and Spaulding declared that some of the applicants were in such advanced stages of chronic diseases that life expectancy must necessarily be very short Cancelled $20,000 Insurance. Of the $60,000 worth of insurance written here in the past few months by J. G. Thomas, local agent of the North Carolina Mutual, over $20,000 has been taken up and canceled because of the physical condition of the insured, Mr. Hart and Spaulding asserted and steps are being taken to relieve the company of several other policies considered as undesirable risks. Mr. Hart and Spaulding said they had collected over a score of affidavits from that number of policy holders setting forth that Dr. Norris sailed to make the required urinalysis and blood pressure tests to determine insurability, in these particular cases.

OPEN JUNE 20, 1928 Later, the woman is said to have made a second 'affidavit, denying that she had meant to say Bess was innocent, and on the strength of this second affidavit Bess was rearrested and returned to prison, notwithstanding, that the governor's pardon had legally freed him and cleared him of the original charge. Old Charge Resurrected. In the meantime, however, the authorities have made out a charge of assault and battery upon a fellow prisoner, alleged to have been committed by Bess several years ago, and intend holding the colored man on this warrant if no other way is found. The Charleston Evening Post story is as follows: Negro Agrees To Stay in Prison. Columbia, July 9—Ben Bess, the Florence county Negro who served thirteen years of a thirty-year term for criminal assault upon a Florence county woman, to get a pardon lately when the woman signed a statement clearing Bess of guilt, this to be followed by a second affidavit from her saying that the firs was a fraud and that she did not intend to clear Bess of guilt, has agreed to remain in the state penitentiary in Columbia for some time yet, pending an investigation of his case by the Attorney General. Bess was lodged in the State Prison on order from Governor Richards, for "safe keeping," when it was feared that there might be violence at Florence, following the woman's repudiation of her statement clearing Bess. "Talked" Into Staying. Governor Richards had a talk with Bess a day or two ago, and told him it would likely prove for his own good for him to remain in the State Prison and not to go to Florence Bess then said that he would go to New York. He wanted to get out, he asid. The governor, however, talked him into remaining in the "pen" a while longer. Bess cannot be held for the crime that sent him to State's Prison. The governor has cleared that charge away with his pardon. But there is a warrant in the possession of one of the governor's detectives, and if Bess insists on getting his liberty, the governor can have this warrant served. It charges him with assault and battery with intent to kill, in connection with an attack of a fellow prisoner at the State Prison farm some years ago. Attorney General Daniel is investigating all legal phases of the case. His probe was suggested by the Florence county Grand Jury and report will be made to that body on October 8, when the next term of Criminal Court starts at Florence. Orangeburg, S C.-On July 10 the members of the South Carolina State Business League met at State College at Orangeburg, S C, morning session at eleven o'clock, and the afternoon session at three o'clock. At the morning session Dr. R S Wilkinson was presented to the body by I S Leevy, merchant tailor of Columbia. Dr Wilkinson made an interesting an dstructive address, citing the fact that property owned in South Carolina by colored peole in 1925 was worth $32,559,90, that property owned in Georgia in 1925 by colored people was worth $68,838, and that the Negroes in the United States owned a total of $1,500,000,000 worth of real tate. The subject discussed at the morning program was "Why Negro Business Fails," led by Fred Bacote, a merchant from Timmonsville, S. C. He made three criticisms on Negro Business; Ist. They open their stores too late; second, they don't keep their places clean; third, they try to sell inferior products at exorbitant prices. After the morning program, the 500 and more teachers assembled at the State College summer school came in for the mid-day services The following persons were introduced to the teachers; Dr J. J. Starkes, Dr. D. H Sims, Rev. Arthur Ausbury, J. E. Blanton, James H. Goode and I. S. Levy. The nomination committee recommended that all officers be re-elected. This suggestion was unanimously voted and the officers are: Dr. R. S. Wilkinson, president; I. S. Levy, vice-president; J. I. Sturkes, treasurer; J. E. Blanton, corresponding secretary; and P. M. Bolding, recording secretary. After a delightful luncheon the State College teachers' dining room, the program was as follows: "The Present Outlook for Negro Business Men and Women" by Dr. H.

A. Steinbeck, (white) train conductor of the Illinois Central Railroad to J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the I. B. P. O. Elks of the World, at the Memphis station on the morning of July 3. 1928. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson had arrived safely here because of his refusal to be bluffed out of the privileges due to an interstate rail passenger on a rather hectic ride from St. Louis to Memphis, on the J. C.'s crack St. Louis-Memphis flyer, the "Chickasaw." morning. Conductor Steinbeck, who had been apprised of Mr. Wilson's identity, came to him and said that it would be perfectly all right for Wilson to arrange his toilet in the Pullman drawing room; "the Pullman conductor said it was all right," Steinbeck, apologetically Enroute To Funeral. Mr. Wilson was en route to Memphis to attend the obsequies of the late Wayman. Wilkerson, bank official, coffin company owner, and grand trustee of the Elks. He left St. Louis on July 2, after his friend, Dr. Johnson had arranged to get his accommodations on the Illinois Central's "Chickasaw Limited" by 'phone. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson was accommodated upon his arrival at the Union Station, St Louis, by the Pullman conductor Both conductor, and the porter of the car on which he rode were courteous and solicitous, Mr Wilson said. Your correspondent heard of the attempt to bluff Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson out of the privileges of an interstate passenger and interviewed the Elks' chieftain here. Had Gone To Sleep. Mr Wilson said he had just got well posed for sleep, and was dreaming of Mrs Wilson, quite pleasantly, when he was abruptly restored to reality by a rather rough shaking' by train conductor Steinbeck "Git out of here and gone up front." Steinbeck was saying, according to Wilson "Tis 'gun the law for niggahs to be in sleepin' cars when we gifts in Kentucky. We done left Cairo," Steinbeck continued. Wilson reminded the stupid conductor that, as an Interstate passenger, he was above and beyond the laws of narrow southern States; that he, therefore, declined to be disturbed "Somewhere between Cairo, Ill. and Fulton, Ky. Steinbeck returned." said Wilson, "and again demanded that I 'jimcrow' myself I again refused," Mr Wilson stated. Threatened With A Mob. "Shortly afterward," Mr. Wilson said, "Conductor Steinbeck again returned and threatened me with the mob I retorted that the night was dark, the country strange, and that, as an interstate passenger, I would take my chances with the mob." And he heard no more from Steinbeck that night, he said. Approaching the Tennessee metropolis of Memphis early next Isaac Fisher To Join Florida School Faculty Tallahassee, Fla—President J. R. E.

Mr. Lee is a member of the department of supervision of the association. The annual summer school debate was held July 13 in the school auditorium, the question being "Resolved, That Herbert Hoover should be the next President of the United States." The affirmative was upheld by Miss Effe Sutton and Albert Goldbolt, with Mies J. A Bellamy and Boysie Glover for the negative. The judges, C. S Long, C. C. Walker and E. E.

Defied The Conductor. "I am en route to pay my last respects to a departed member of my Cabinet," Wilson replied, in presence of the Pullman "porter," and I would that my spirit should meet his in the Great Beyond rather than suffer the least undue humiliation here." Wilson replied; and Steinbeck walked away, to say no more until he apologized on the platform at Memphis. "Time is ripe for red-blooded Negro men," said Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson," to demand and insist upon the service for which they pay as first class interstate passengers, and the real men and patriotic women whom I represent will insist upon what is due," he concluded.

According to a press release sent out to the daily papers, the Policy Committee of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, which held a three-days session last week at the national headquarters, 2311 Seventh avenue, New York City, made definite decision to order a strike of the Pullman porters unless the union secures recognition from the Pullman Company. Pending further developments in the matter, the general organizer, A. Philip Randolph, states that secret orders and directions as to calling and execution of the strike have been handed in sealed envelopes to regional supervisors for relaying to division organizers, and that these envelopes are not to be opened until orders are received from the strike committee, which is composed of Mr. Randolph and M. P. Webster, Chicago division organizer. To Consult Pres. Green This order, says the general organizer, will not be issued until after consultation with William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor. Reports from the meeting of the Policy Committee indicate that there is a strong sentiment throughout the western divisions in favor of a strike, and Mr. Webster declares that 85 per cent of the men in the Chicago division will step down when the order is issued, and that the militant spirit of the membership will render futile any attempt at using strike breakers. The conference 'of the Policy Committee was attended by A. L. Totten, assistant, general organizer; Roy Lancaster, secretary-treasurer; W. H. DesVerney, assistant general organizer; Bennie Smith, field organizer; E. J. Bradley, St Louis Division organizer; Mr. Randolph and Mr. Webster. Men Aro Confident The Brotherhood officials declare that since a strike vote has already been taken, with a preponderant majority in favor of such action, the fight can be won within a week. They assert that discipline and spirit of the men have increased since the strike postponement, and that the men feel sure that radical action will be necessary. The only preventive, they say, will be an agreement by the Pullman Co. to meet in conference with the Brotherhood and settle upon rules and working conditions. General Organizer Randolph stated that the date of the strike would not be announced until within twenty-four hours of the time set, but that officers of the Brotherhood are desirous of avoiding a strike. As evidence of this attitude, Mr. Randolph cites the Brotherhood's appeal to the Railway Mediation Board and the Interstate Commerce Commission. Vocational Training An Aid To Earning Living Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—"The aim of vocational training in agriculture is to give the farmers of the country such training as will be useful to them in life and in earning a living." Dr. H. O. Sargent, in charge of vocational education, southern division, told Smith-Hughes workers and agricultural extension agents attending the short course here, and teacher-students of the summer school. "Because the rural districts have lacked educational advantages, leadership has passed into the hands of the city dwellers. In order to remedy this condition it is necessary to bring to the youth of the country all of the advantages enjoyed by those of the city. Denmark has a prosperous and intelligent rural class—the most prosperous and intelligent in the world—because they have worked out a national system of rural education. This must be done in America." Registered in the short courses are 375 boys and girls from the farms of Alabama, and 40 vocational teachers and extension workers. Courses are being given in agricultural trades and in home crafts. The course is conducted under 'the joint aupes of the U. S. Agricultural Extension service of which T. M. Campbell is district field agent, and the Institute Department of Agriculture, of which R. C. Atkins is director. The second term of the summer school session opened with a registration of 426. This brings the enrollment for the two terms up to 1,071. Others who addressed the teacher-students included R. R. Taylor, vice-principal, who welcomed them to the opportunities of the institute; Forrester B.

Doing Practical Work Helena, Ark—The Arkansas State Unit of the National Negro Business League is holding its annual convention at Helena, July 19 and 20. Nineteen locals will be represented, and a practical program of help to small retailers has been prepared for presentation to the visitors to Helena, according to John Webb, president of the state body, and national vice president, who will head a large delegation from Arkansas to the National convention in New York in August. James A. Jackson, assistant business specialist of the Domestic Commerce Division of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, U. S. Department of Commerce, was designated to represent the Bureau and make an address to the Helena convention. Mr. Jackson apprised the Arkansas group of the helps that the Domestic Commerce Division has assembled for the assistance of the smaller business units of the country.

C.—North Carolina justice again gives evidence of the fact that it knows no color line in the conviction of Troy Setzer, 17 years old and married, a white boy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Maka Setzer, who live near Newton, on the charge of criminally assaulting a 'kolored woman, Mrs. Georgia Lee McCorkle, 38 years old. Setzer was convicted in the Catawba County Superior Court on July 12, and Judge Townsend sentenced the white youth to from seven to ten years in the State Penitentiary. As Setzer was being taken from the court to jail he sank to the street and was taken to a room in the jailer's apartment. Physicians were summoned and said the indications were that the boy had suffered a stroke of paralysis. The prisoner had been married less than a year, and he lured Mr. McCorkle to his home on the plea that he wanted her to do some washing for his family. When she reached the Setzer home, she was seized upon by the boy and ravished, and in her desperate fight to save herself she was badly hurt. In court, Setzer admitted to the assault. Industrial School At Sparta, Ga., Seeks Aid L. S. Ingraham, founder and principal of the Agricultural and Industrial Institute at Sparta, Ga. with Mrs. Anna S. Ingraham, his wife, who is dean of the school, has been in New York for several weeks seeking funds for erection of a much-needed work-shop for the boys of his institution. Prof. Ingraham started this work in 1910, buying three acres of land from the plantation formerly owned by the slavery-time owners of his family. The school now occupies 53 acres, with three buildings in the school plant. It is valued at about $45,000. The faculty numbers ten, including principal; and dean, with more than 200 pupils last year. A $174,000 endowment is also being sought. The past year's receipts amounted to $8,46174, with expenditures of $8,41006. The school recently purchased a 175-acre farm adjoining the original site, which has entailed an indebtedness of about $2,000.

AD Crisis ation - NUMBER TODAY $1.50 The Year man Brookhart and his colleagues, both parties in the South have been guilty of assessing Federal officeholders on one pretext or another. And he might have added, that despite all we hear in the North about fiery race-hating Southern politicians, they are not so anti-Negroid and prejudiced behind closed doors and when political plums are in sight. The Age does not condone the bartering of public office and gladly welcomes the present investigation. But we take exception to the zeal displayed by the Attorney General's office at Washington in directing most of its attention to Georgia and Mississippi where Negroes dominate the Republican Party. Texas, South Carolina, Florida and other Southern States where white men are National Committeemen are not above reproach and suspicion. As is usually the case, in these sporadic waves of moral and political reform it is the Negro race which gets much of the undesirable publicity. If the Brookhart Committee and the Attorney General's Office are bent on getting the truth, they should such permit fair-minded men as Secretary New, tell all they know. We venture to predict that the valuable information secured will show that both white and colored, Republicans and Democrats, are guilty of many of the practices complained of in the South and are tarred with the same stick. TUTTLE FOR GOVERNOR. New York, under normal political conditions, that is to say when Alfred E. Smith is not a candidate for Governor, is a Republican state. As Mr. Smith will be running for a higher office this fall, the chances for electing a Republican as Governor should be more than even. The Republican party has no scarcity of available candidates for that office, but the wisest policy would be to select one who would measure up to the size of the office and attract the voters in the metropolitan district, where the party in recent years has suffered a decline. HATS OFF TO PHILADELPHIA. A campaign committee, made up of the leading colored and white citizens of Philadelphia set out to raise $200,000 to build a nurses' home and training school for Mercy Hospital. There was an unprecedented enthusiastic response from both races, and when the grand total was counted the managers gleefully announced that $319,568.09 had been subscribed. Never in the history of the Quaker City have both races cooperated so whole-heartedly. A campaign committee, made up of the leading colored and white citizens of Philadelphia set out to raise $200,000 build a nurses' home and training school for Mercy Hospital. There was an unprecedented enthusiastic response from both races, and when the grand total was counted the managers gleefully announced that $319,568.09 had been subscribed. Never in the history of the Quaker City have both races cooperated so whole-heartedly. Of the $319,568.08 raised $161,075 was subscribed by Negroes and the blancs—$158,492.90 by white people. The exhibition of liberality on the part of Philadelphia Negroes is most commendable and significant. Nowadays, the white friends of the race when asked to contribute to some worthy project designed better the condition of the Negro, inviably want to know. How much is your people giving? The question was phatically and most agreeably answered in Philadelphia. Too much praise cannot be given. Henry M. Minton, Superintendent of Mercy Hospital, for his untiring effort, was he who conceived the idea of augmenting such a well-organized and effective campaign. His encounters to give Mercy Hospital a nurses' home and training school is his biggest achievement. Conspicuous among the possibilities mentioned for the nomination is Charles H. Tuttle, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, which includes Manhattan and the Bronx. Mr. Tuttle is an able lawyer of high standing, who in the difficult position he occupies has proved himself an alert and vigorous prosecutor of those who have violated the Federal laws, including the Eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act. His annual report, just rendered to the Department of Justice, bristles with facts and figures showing the details of the work done in this line. Of the $319,568.08 raised $161,075.19 was subscribed by Negroes and the balance $158,492.90 by white people. The exhibition of liberality on the part of Philadelphia Negroes is most commendable and significant. Nowadays the white friends of the race when asked to contribute to some worthy project designed to better the condition of the Negro, invariably want to know: "How much is your people giving?" The question was emphatically and most agreeably answered in Philadelphia. According to this report, no less than one million dollars worth of illegal liquor was confiscated during the past year, while nearly eight thousand convictions were obtained of those vending the forbidden beverages. Besides this, padlocks were applied to 546 speakeasies, and 118 vehicles were seized while conveying goods without a legal permit. Twice as many prosecutions, under the Volstead act were instituted as compared with the preceding year. A letter from Attorney General Sargent congratulated Mr. Tuttle on the fine showing made in his district, saying that his collections were more than five times the expense of his office. Too much praise cannot be given. Dr. Henry M. Minton, Superintendent of Mercy Hospital, for his untiring efforts. It was he who conceived the idea of inaugurating such a well-organized and effective campaign. His eneavors to give Mercy Hospital a nurses' home and training school is his biggest achievement. This merely goes to show how an efficient and conscientious office can make a success of such a difficult job, as the enforcement of prohibition has proved to be in New York City. It may be questioned whether Mr. Tuttle's ability would not be better utilized in the public service by placing him in the governor's chair at Albany, where his industry and constructive ability might produce more lasting results. His character and standing merit the consideration of the people who make the nominations, and who desire to effect the rehabilitation of the party in this state. The voters of the Northern district are predisposed in his favor and he would be sure of their hearty and active support. NO "BLACK AND TAN." The New York Journal, one of Hearst chain of yellow newspapers, I been indulging in some more attacks the Harlem district, which it seeks brand as the "black and tan cabaret be The New York Journal, one of the Hearst chain of yellow newspapers, has been indulging in some more attacks on the Harlem district, which it seeks to brand as the "black and tan zabaret belt" and the "home of the city's most famous gangs and gangsters." The motive behind this attack is to prove that whites and blacks only seek association for vicious purposes and to brand the section in which any number of Negroes reside as criminal because of that preponderance in the population. Neither of these assumptions is warranted by the facts, even as presented in the so-called murder record of the Harlem gangs, printed in one of last week's issues of the Journal. In the first place, there are no gangs of any considerable numbers in Harlem, to be compared with either the East Side or the Brooklyn gangs, whose internecine warfare has so greatly stirred police circles for the past week or so. If the industrious reporter who was given the Journal assignment to delve into recent killings in Harlem, had consulted the inspector for the district, or the captain of either of the police precincts, he would have found that most of the killings and shootings committed were individual cases, crimes committed in the heat of passion; prompted by jealousy or lust. They were in no sense gang murders. A QUEER SOUTHERN ALLIANCE. Postmaster General Harry S. New has informed the Brookhart Senate Committee that an impartial investigation made by his department has revealed an alliance, between white Democrats and colored Republicans of the South who have a common interest in bartering Federal offices. One Postmaster, a white Democrat, was discharged for helping a colored Republican fleece an applicant for the job of rural carrier. All would have gone well had the applicant passed the Civil Service test. But he failed and then demanded back his $350. Prominent Democrats sought the reinstatement of the Georgia Postmaster, described as a "good Democrat." But Mr. New told members of the Committee: "I say no difference between the white man with the halo of respectability and the Negro—a poor farmer." Secretary New presented a list of Post Office appointments in Georgia to show that sixty-two per cent, were made after consultation with Democratic members of Congress. It is a common talk that some sort of a working agreement existed between Senator Pat Harrison and Perry W. Howard, Negro Republican National Committeeman, in which the Senior Senator from Mississippi enjoys the prerogative of selecting Postmasters in Mississippi with the sanction of Howard. As for the so-called "black' and tan' cabarets the term is a misnomer. In the sense in which this term was first applied to resorts in the old Tenderloin, where the vicious-minded of both races mingled in bacchanalian revels, it was used to describe a condition, which was found in certain Southern states, where both races joined forces amicably to bring about political results. Now, when the two races frequent the same night resorts it is because the entertainment appeals equally to individuals of the same type, but varying complexions. It is also a mistake or a misstatement of facts, to class all cabarets and night clubs TRE NEW YORK AGE cency and decorum, equal if not higher than many of the Broadway show houses. The entertainment may be at times better or worse than in the latter places, and some of the best of it appears later on Broadway. In many of these resorts if liquor is served it is because the customers bring it on their hips. The management as a rule is lawabiding and anxious to avoid any violation of the law. Because of the assumption by vice reformers, and even some police officials who should know better, that any association of white and black must necessarily be immoral, the proprietors of the higher class cabarets do not invite the patronage of mixed parties. In fact some of them ban the admission of such parties and refuse to permit dancing, when the couples are of different races or complexions. So far is this carried that it frequently leads to the foolish interference with couples of the same race, merely because the woman happens to be a blonde. So, gentleman prefer blondes to their peril in some of these resorts. On the other hand there may be found a smaller number of night resorts, maintained for vicious purposes, where women and girls of all colors and classes are exploited for the entertainment of a moneyed group of white rounders from the Broadway district, who seek new pastures for their vices. These places are mostly run by white proprietors, who bar Negroes as patrons, either by the exorbitance of their cover charges or by some other device equally effective. But, to be exact, there are no "black and tan cabarets" in Harlem, the Journal and other scandalmongers to the contrary. A WOMAN TRAVELS EAST. Since the time of Marco Polo in the thirteenth century, there have been numerous travelers in the East, who have told the story of the strange sights they have seen to a wondering world. It is seldom however, that we come across a book in which a woman of the race has told of her travels, in so unpretentious style and with such naive distinction as in the narrative of "My Trip through Egypt and the Holy Land" by Mrs. Caroline Bagley. The author rightly disclaims any attempt at being scholarly, and says that she wrote the book because since her return, she found in America, people of about her station in life who would enjoy such a simple, straightforward account as her experiences would enable her to give. This is as good a reason as any for writing a book of this sort, which affords an interesting account of the everyday aspects of life and customs in the countries she visited. There are a number of illustrations, one of the author in Palestinian Bedouin costume revealing a prepossessing personality, that predisposes the reader in her favor. Her itinerary included France, Germany, Italy and Spain, with Egypt and Palestine as an afterthought. Landing at Alexandria, Mrs. Bagley went to Cairo by railway; making many excursions from that point, beside sightseeing in the city. She tells of the Copts, who are described as a sect of about one million Christians dwelling in the midst of Mohammedans. She attended a Coptic wedding and learned of many of the customs of the Egyptians, including a visit to a modern harem, "to have a smoke with the ladies." Among other famous sights she visited the tomb of King Tutankhamen, but outside of the sarcophagus, she found but little to repay her curiosity. This was after her first visit to an Egyptian tomb, which she says was her husband's first and last, although she admits that since then she had seen enough tombs. Evidently Mrs. Bagley was a conscientious traveler, who skipped no sights that she thought were worth seeing. Another morning she discovered a long line of natives waiting to be served with "booza1" an African moonshine, brewed once a day and costing three cents a bowl. Despite the Mohammedan teaching of total abstinence, prohibition does not seem to obtain any more in Egypt than in America. The portion devoted to the Holy Land tells of the various localities described in the New Testament, with a glance at peasant life of the present day. The author records that the country people bake their bread in a most primitive fashion and break it with the right hand, instead of cutting it with a knife. She traveled from one village to another in an American touring car, the other passengers being Arabs and Jews, and she the only woman. One of the latter spoke English and told her he had been educated in England, where he had built up a successful business but because of prejudice he had given it up and gone to Germany. There meeting the same obstacles, he had finally settled in the Jewish city of Tel-Aviv, near Jaffa. Here his business was not so remunerative, but he This encounter caused Mrs. Bagley to comment as follows: "During that wonderful trip of mine I had forgotten all about prejudice and that such a thing existed in this beautiful world; now here on this Syrian plain, I was reminded of it. My heart Commenting upon the keynote speech of Claude G. Bowers, made at the Democratic National Convention at Houston, Texas, the Louisville Nauks drew an interesting comparison between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. It said in part: Thomas Jefferson, peace: to his ashes, never dreamed of founding such an organization as that which now masquerades as Democrats. He aided Hamilton in the building of the Constitution and it was upon Thomas Jefferson that Hamilton relied to get his funding bill and the bill for the assumption of the State bill that Hamilton also demanded that Jefferson differed from Hamilton upon very slender grounds. Hamilton wanted the power of government where somebody could use it, and Jefferson wanted it diffused among the States; and subsequent events have justified the correctness of Hamilton's position; else there would not now be any agitation for an anti-lynch law. Alexander Hamilton was a far greater statesman than Jefferson—he was "father of his, but it was Washington may have used it," he was Hamilton's genius that gave it breath of life. His powerful pen in the Federalist gave him the status of the Constitution. His spirit moved over the waters of its construction and Jefferson had to fall in line. Jefferson went to France and there he heard for the first time the sublime doctrine: "Omnes homines cagales sunt." He came back to America and incorporated it in the Declaration of Independence. If Thomas Jefferson should rise from his grave and shake his sash, he would come to his auburn locks, and walk into the Houston Convention, he would not recognize a single man there as an exponent of his political opinion. The Democratic party today is more of a Hamilton than a Jefferson party. It is an oligarchy pure and simple and dedicated to the proposition that all people with dark skins are inferior. Referring to the mention made of lynching in the Republican platform, the St. Louis *drugus* took a broader view of the subject than is common to the Negro press. It said: But, the question of lynching is just a bit deeper than what it appears on the surface. In the first place, it is a violation of the Constitution of the United States as well as the constitution and statutes of the several states, dangerous to peace, prosperity, the moral fiber, prosperity, not only of the State, but of the people of the United States. Its practice, like the canker worm, is undermining the very foundation of this government. In the second place, lynching is the mother of a hundred thousand murderers in the United States—many of whom are women and children, and practically all of them are at large. Lynching is 'degrading to any individual who takes part in it actively or constructively. It is also degrading to the community and it sears the conscience of the President and the legal lawmakers of this land. These are just a few of the many odiums that follow in the wake of lynchings. Therefore, why should not any party that claims to have the interest of the Nation at heart declare against this barricatic practice, not as a "son" to tield the, Negroes, but as protective measure to safeguard the rights of all citizens and as a protest against the evils that follow in the wake. All gatherings, especially of a civic or patriotic nature, should declare against lynching. For, after all, while it is true the Negroes are the chief victims of the lynchers' trope, and the mob torch, the Nation is degraded because of these foul deeds. That is the proper angle from which lynching should be condemned, as a menace to the whole nation. The toleration of mob law and lynching by any community means the subversion of law and order and the wholesale breeding of murderers. The Texas Freeman, published at Hecuston, had the following to say concerning the segregation practised at the Democratic National Convention held in that city: When the National democratic committee accepted. Houston's offer to hold the 1928 convention here, it did so with perfect understanding as to public policy here and all democratic Negroes in the North, East and West and especially in the Middle West, where many Negro critics live, knew that in bringing the convention to Houston Negroes, as a class, would be segregated. No political party in the United States is given to observing the Golden Rule in treating with Negroes on anything but precedent, equate to injustice as man to man, or in the fullest enjoyment of all local privileges as American citizens... and since, more of us have waited all this late day to find that our race in separating and setting apart that section of Sam Houston hall for the accommodation of those Negro men and women who, upon their own motion, accept such accommodations? Rev. W. L. Dickson of the Orphan Home at Gilmur, Texas, informed the editor of The Freeman a day or two after the Knights of Pythias 'Grand Lodge adjourned, that he, and he alone, took it upon himself to ask Mr. Jesse Jones, chairman of the general committee, to make accommodations of some Negroes at that time, found that none at all when that time even been suggested or made, and that Mr. Jones, speaking for himself, if not the committee, agreed to do what he could. Such radicalism and such rabid utterances one of our local contemporaries is publishing now-a-days about Houston whites, generally, as well as those in official authority, are calculated to do our race as a group far more harm than good, and unless it is stopped and stopped right now there will be hell here for somebody sooner, or later. Commending one Virginia newspaper for its handling of a report of an alleged shooting by a Negro, while condemning a story in another paper as one "that would have startled a lynching in a community less restrained than Norfolk," the Norfolk Journal and Guide said: Not every clash between the races is due to the nature of the crime that precipitated it, but rather to the lurid imagination of a newspaper reporter and the desire of a city editor to work up a sensation. The Norfolk papers have been unusually free from that kind of thing, and it is to be regretted that one, of them should, inadvertently no doubt, suffer a lapse of poise. It was noticed that this story was accentuated in atrocious details on the front page while a story a few days earlier giving an account of a criminal assault upon two young women by a white man, the same width, reproduced to the back page. This is mentioned for comparison, however, and not to give; the impression that such a habit with any Norfolk paper, or that, it would be done with evil intent. While on this subject it is well also to note the fine manner, in which the Richmond police department handled the arrest of young Medley, the crazy boy that went on a rampage and tried to exterminate the family of his employer. When police departments, newspapers and communities as a whole can maintain and good sense in the face of atrocious crimes it is a sign of social progress of a high order. Such signs are becoming more and more visible in Virginia. Sensational journalism has much to answer for inciting lynching and mob violence, so a change of attitude can well be commended. The Nashville Clarion hails with approval a genuine revival, of interest, among our religious denominations in the matter of educating and training their ministers. It said: Sentiment in favor of such education is on the increase, a greater number of candidates for ministerial honors are attending theological seminaries and contributions for student aid are increasing. Our people no longer give attention to the old ladies if it means minister stood in the pulpit with an empty head. God will fill his mouth with holy arguments from on high. Too often they have waited patiently for these arguments and they never came. Increasing intelligence, in the pew demands a corresponding increase of culture in the pulpit. The minister should be a good man, consecrated and full of piety; meanwhile he should be taught to convince manner that piety and gentle manners are no substitutes for intellect. The denomination that takes a serious view of this matter of ministerial education will forge its way to the front, and will hold its own until it reaches the front line. An owner of a certain guarantee of continued prosperity and future well-being of any religious denomination. In an editorial, entitled "Billy Parker Preaches Race Hatred," the Florida Sentinel of Jacksonville drew a revealing portrait of the average Lilywhite Republican in the South. It said: In one respect Mr. Billy Parker, editor of the Southern Republican, reminds us of the old type of Southern politician who, when he sought station and preferment, went below the hinterland and the Negro Mr. Parker's chief THE AGE READERS' FORUM There is a difference, however, between 'the old Southern politician, who never pretended to be a friend of the Negro, who never asked financial aid from him nor ever preached him about his own position. Parkers has been around to Negro churches, in Negro halls, with a pretty, speech about the equality rights of the Negro. He has stood tip and told Negroes that they should register and, vote the Republican ticket and help make Florida Republican so that every man would be equal, before the law and get his vote. The old southern politician was an out and out enemy and said so, Mr. Parker was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Enroute To The World's Sunday School Convention By Mrs. J. W. BROWN Wife of Rev. J. W. Brown, Pastor of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, New York City. The question is often asked, "Have you been to Los Angeles, or California?" Wondering why California seems to be the mecca of all Americans we decided to take the trip at the first opportunity. We wanted to enjoy the thrills of the unfolding beauty, romance and industrial development of the Great West Leaving New York over the Grand Canyon on first stop over was Niagara Falls. Views of the Falls may be seen in one or two days, but a 10-day visit is not too long. There are always new thrills, new visitas to admire every minute. Taking an elevator to the Falls, we got the little steamer Maid of Horses, who were first thrilled at the wonderful and un-excelled beauty of the Horse Shoe and American Falls. Next, Goat Island. The Indian regarded this island as sacred. It was their favorite burying ground for their chiefs and maidens, who made the great sacrificial trip over the Falls. It was the custom of the Indian to offer a sacrifice as a religious "Spirit of the Water." The most beautiful maiden of the tribe paddled a white canoe, filled with fruit and flowers, over the Falls. The only daughter of the Seneca chief was selected. As the savage festivities for the sacrifice began this maiden calmly steered her tiny craft over the cataract. Her father, tense and heart broken, overtook the girl in another canoe. The eyes of the girl and her. father met in one last look of love as the canoes plunged over the cataract to eternity. This island was called Iris Island. John Stedman bought it from the Indian for safety from wolves. All died except a goat. Hence the cogmones, "Goat Island." Our trip would have been incomplete without seeing "The Cave of the Winds." For this trip we wore oil skin. Led by a guide, we made drop in an elevator of 174 feet from a solid rock bed, and from this point we saw the camera power of the tremendous waterfall; the bridge span from one great rock to another through clouds of rainbow mists. Next, we visited The Three Sisters Islands, Luna Island, but didn't take the air trip. But it was train time, and we proceeded to Chicago, the "Holly City." We were in time to meet the special with a delightful group of Sunday school workers en route to Los Angeles from Chicago and New York. Our first stop over was Omaha, Neb. Only a few minutes allowed for souvenirs and post cards, and a little exercise. So far the 'little devil' prejudice, continued in the back ground. Everyone's from porter to dining car steward, has been nice to the Elmberger Party. One of them was Colorado Springs, a a K, K K, stronghold. This is a beautiful city, with beautiful and costly churches and mixed schools, but not mixed teachers. The streets are wide and clean, superb roads and boulevards, about 35,000 inhabitants. No 'colored hotels' here but we have the high guests of a wealthy, colorful tailor and meals at the Harvey House. Then our sight-seeking began. First, Pipes Peak one of the wonders of Colorado. It was this historic summit which guided the early explorers across the great plain. It peaked 100 feet high. Ascending this great peak, our car should test the endurance of the strongest. Several fainted and most of our party were weak and sick. But, as I had touched the Lion in Waterloo, had climbed the Alps had had breakfast on Sunset Mount in Asheville, and worshipped in Notre Dame, De la Gare, on top Dame, decided peak in Marseille, decided peak in any need for mountain thrill for anyone, and I remained patiently at the base to enjoy my sick friends' groans. Then to the Garden of the Gods, Rock, rock and more rock, in every formation. Then, Cheyenne-Canon, Seven Falls, and Maniton. Because of the Springs in Maniton, the Indian bought their sick and since healing was of the Great Spirit, they named it "Maniton." Near this city is found canons' of dirrry heights and awful depths—weird caverns. One would go crazy if one of these cannons a few days. No greenery is available. Mr. Parker's speeches had a way definite purpose. He wanted to get money to start a paper and a few dollars in his pocket. Negro gullible for wildcat schemes, like fish in the river, any man could get for the paper. And so as Mr. Parker got enough money get started, he jumped on the man who had given him the big sleeve forward; he leaped right on the Negro and attempted to cut him off from the enjoyment of any political emoluments in the Republican party in Florida. And that is the sort of material that is selected to reorganize the Republican party in the South. Fauci After an all-night ride, our next stop was the "Royal Gorge." Just before the train stopped, a man came throttle the car selling glasses for a dollar to see the Gorge. Passing the State Penitentiary, the conductor explained to the passengers in the observation car that a colored prisoner prisoner for murder was in the penitentiary and would wave the train as we pass. The said prisoner didn't seem spry for his sms when we passed, because he was full of smiles, realizing he was of interest to the sight-seeking party, and sitting outside of the prison. The train continued around a long curb and rushed into the Royal Gorge of the Arkansas. Turning and twisting the train proceeded, with scarcity space between walls and water, and the red graffiti gmeissed apart with sparking on either side, the only skylight at the top, the four stars shining at midday. The hanging bridge is about 10 years old. Sometimes mountain sheep are seen tigh in the cliff. We were given twenty minutes to see the Gorge, then dinner and an overnight trip to Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City is one of the celebrated resorts of the world. Its dry pure air is very healthy. Salt Lake, after which the city is named, is a small ocean famed for its bathing, and known as the American Dead Sea. The experience of enjoying the heavy salt make it impossible for one to sink. The kind of sea, I bathe in). The chief attraction in Salt Lake City is the Morman Temple. The Temple is closed to Gentiles but the Great Tauernacle, seating 10,000, with its world-famed organ is open. The organ recital begins at 12.10. m, doors close if noone will. You must close your intention to get to the Tauernacle before 12, and our train reaches Salt Lake City at 11.40. Taking a big bus from the station the "Eichleberberger Party" went immediately to the Tabernacle. The organist stated he had added another number not on the program and the added number was "Old Black Joe." But never was, the old familiar song been played with sweetness and pathos, such melody—"the longing," the "desire," the "heart adhes" of "Old Black Joe" filled every crevice of that Great Tabernacle. At our feet over, our heads, at our sides, and back, "I am coming" I am coming touched and thrilled every heart in the audience That alone was worth the trip to Salt Lake City. There is a deligible mingling of the old and new here. The romance of pioneer days is not more absorbing than its story of modern development. It is a manufacturing and trade center of a vast mining empire. Over 800 of our people are there, leaving two Baptist churches, two Methodists and one Seventh Day Adventist. Four men are in the post office one on the police force. If you are not a mormon, you are a Gerritt. But only the Gerritts seem to have an invitation to our people. After the Capitol and the Governor's suite we returned in time to continue 'our trip on the Gold Coast' Limited. Some one in our party said "Well we have created the Rockies and now we have the desert on our hand, but even the desert was kind to us. We reached Los Angeles Sunday at 2:30 p.m. a delegation met at the station, gave us dinner, and sent us to our homes. I am very comfortable in a 90 room hotel, built and owned by a colored stock company, whose pristine and highest stock owner is West Indian. Every body here owns a car, from Rolls Royce down to motor cycles. The hotel loosely like the Aster and the other big cars in their big cars and summer silkis are very riffy. Some body fooled me—mold my Los Angeles, was very hot. I have been freezing every since I hired. Our convention opened Wednesday, July 11, running through to the 18th. York. S. C. York, S.

IN THE REALM OF MUSIC By LUCIEN H. WHITE THUNDER AND RAIN STORM STOPS THE FIRST OPEN-AIR SUMMER CONCERT BY LIEUT. SIMPSON AND MONARCH BAND Notwithstanding the threatening of an impending thunder storm which later broke in fury, a large group of music lovers assembled at St Nicholas Park, 135th street and St. Nicholas avenue, on Wednesday evening, July 11, for the first open-air concert of the summer season by Monarch 45 Band, under direction of Lieut. Fred W. Simpson. With heavy clouds, surcharged with flashing lightning streaks, filling the sky, Lieut. Simpson advanced the starting hour by five minutes in zealous desire to play as much of his projected program as possible under the inclement conditions, and the thirty men composing the group of musicians under his baton responded with nervous energy to the director's wishes. The salutation, "Star Spangled Banner," brought both musicians and audience to their feet, and then the band swung quickly into the opening number, a fively, inspiriting march by Seitz, "Brooke's Chicago Marine Band." Disregarding the enthusiastic applause, Lieut. Simpson told his players that there would be no attempt to play encores, and so, the next number, a fantasia, "Mefistofele" by Boito, was begun. Before a dozen measures had been played, the clouds began to make good their threat. But notwithstanding that the sheets of their music scores were being splashed with rain drops, the musicians played bravely on. The music was interlarded here and there with celestial rumblings that had no place on the printed sheet, nor were they produced by human effort. And from the dark masses of lowering clouds in the murky northwest there came brilliant and nerve shaking electrical scintillations that tested everybody's nerve. Still the men played on, and the eager auditors remained in their seats, until, while "Mefistofele" was about half done, the original of the title seemed to put in a personal appearance and the clouds opened up with what soon developed into a veritable deluge. Hassily, but not always hasty enough, the musicians responded to Lieut. Simpson's orders to put music back in books and instruments in cases, and ere this was done the audience had been driven to such stany shelter as was afforded by the narrow precincts of the comfort station, or had dashed helter-skelter to the haven of nearby homes or doorways. The Monarch 45 Band and Director Simpson are in no wise dismayed, and at the second concert on Wednesday night, July 18, afforded the public another musical treat. The program, which was so ruthlessly cut short by the storm embraced, in addition to the two numbers mentioned, the Beethoven Minute in G; Speaks" "On the road to Mandalay"; a suite, "Don Quixote," by Safranek; the "El Guarany" Overture by Gerez; a Serenade,"Les millian de' Arlequin," by Drigo; the Patrol,"American," by Meacham and a descriptive number, "Hunting Scene," by Bucalossi. The second program, offered on the 18th, was as follows: Salutation—"The Star Spangled Banner" 1. March ..... (Selected) 2. Overture—"William Tell" ..... Rossini 3. (a) "The Rag Doll" ..... Sherman, Clay (b) "Dream House" ..... Gounod 4. Processional—"La reine da saba" ..... Gounod 5. Selection—"Il Guarany" ..... Gomez 6. Gavote—"First Heart Throbs" ..... Eilenberg 6. Gavotte—"First Heart Throbs" ..... Tscharkoff 8. Descriptive—"Hunting Scene" ..... Bucalossi Auld Lang Syne The program is at 8:15 o'clock, and attention might be called to the fact that Lieutenant Simpson is a stickler for punctuality, starting his programs right on the dot of the moment specified—or earlier, if necessary, as on the first night, but never later. The Department of Parks, through Park Commissioner Walter, R. Herrick, provides as many benches as can be accommodated in the available space, and these are occupied by the first corners, no reservations being possible. Contributions to the Monarch 43 Band Free Concert Fund are still being received, and Alderman Fred R. Moore, treasurer of the Fund, calls attention of those subscribers who have not as yet made good their promiss, to the fact that their money is needed to carry out the summer's program of free music for Harlemmtes by this band. The amount previously acknowledged was $342.75, to which has been added since last accounting, interest on special deposits in Chelsea Exchange Bank, 59 cents; contribution, Joshua Carter, 2170 Seventh avenue, $5; grand total, $34R34. Pupils of Andrades Lindsay and Minnie Brown In Fine Recital --- One of the most interesting pupil recitals, was given under the auspice of the Progressive Sewing Circle of Nazarene Congregational Church' Brooklyn, by the pupils of Andrades Lindsay, assisted by the voice pupils of Minnie Brown. I last season we attended the pupils' recital of Miss Lindsay, assisted by Miss Brown's pupils, and we were able to see the marked improvement in those whom we had heard, and were interested in those making their initial appearance. Aide from their required technic one feature in Miss Lindsay's teaching is especially commendable, thoroughness, and her pupils approach their work with a serious and yet enjoyable attitude. Several of the pupils displayed musical gifts above the average and under her guidance we are sure. we shall a few years hence be hearing from them in the concert field as young artists to be reckoned with. There was something interesting in each pupil for Miss Lindsay made wise and special choices for this particular program, but we must mention little Annalamah Pepper a little miss of five, who approached the piano with an assurance that would be the epy of many a seasoned artist, and played "The March of The Tin Soldiers" by Kogman, to memory and in such fashion that the audience showed her with well deserved applause. Harold Powlkes, a young boy who interested us last year, played the Rachmaninoff, Preclude in C. Sharp minor. (transcribed. He played with masculine virility, and a smoothness and clarity and musicianly, understanding that well bespoke the teaching of his teacher. certo (Allegro), Mendellissohn, by Miss, Beatrice Walter with the orchestral accompaniment played by Miss Lindsay at the organ. This number was a gem. Tuskegee Institute. Ala.-Miss Katherine Pipes, contralto of Philadelphia, appeared in song recital here Wednesday, evening, July 11, before a large audience of faculty and teacher-students of the summer school of Tuskegee Institute. Miss Pipes' recital included numbers, as well as several Negro Spirituals arranged by Burleigh. Especially pleasing was her opening number: "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice" from Saint Saens, Robinson's "Water Boy" and "Lil Gal" received, continued applause. Her program was well selected and the audience was pleased with the performance of this youthful artist. The recital was the opening number under the entertainment course for the second half of summer school. Voorhees and Fort Valley Students Make A Concert Tour Through The West Denmark S. C.—The Voorhees School has been widely advertised in the last si weeks by the trip out to South Dakota of the combined singers from the Voorhees School, Denmark, S. C., and the Fort Valley School, Fort Valley, Ga, representing the American Church Institute for Negroes, 281 Fourth avenue, New York City. The campaign was made in a Studehaker, beginning at St. Louis, going through Des Moines on into Sioux Falls, S. D., coming back down through Minneapolis, La Crosse and Milwaukee. Wist. The trip was successful from every angle, except that the men are convinced that 500 miles a day may mean school will open September 20, and that the elementary grades will open September 27. Working an extra hour a day, as the Voorhees teachers have been and are doing, opening on September 20 and going through May, will make the term 34 weeks. One of the singers for the Voorhees and Fort Valley Schools in the summer time is Lee G. Barnwell, who make the University of Pennsylvania from the Voorhees School three years ago, and is still a student at the University of Pennsylvania during the school term. Principal Blanton reports that he found it as hard in most places in the West to secure accommodations for five Negro men as he did in the South, that the lack of places for representative Negro men and women where first class accommodations can be found in the way of eating and sleeping was deplorable especially in Wisconsin, Missouri and South Dakota. At the last meeting of the board of trustees of the Voorhees School it was discussed and tentatively agreed that, beginning with 1928-29 the Voorhees School would be raised to junior college grade. MUSIC NOTES Sunday, July 15, marked the third Sabbath service at St. James Presbyterian Church, the Rev. William Lloyd Imes, pastor, 141st street and St. Nicholas avenue, at which Dr. Melville Charlton officiated as organist and choir-master. The choir has been considerably augmented since Dr. Charlton took charge, but the quartet of artists is still incomplete. Miss Doris Trotman is the soprano and Benjamin Ragsdale, baritone, the contralto and tenor soloists have not as yet been secured. At last Sunday morning's service Miss Trotman sang during the offertory, giving Oley Speaks' setting of "The Lord is my Light" with splendid effect. The choir sang Burleigh's arrangement of the Spirituals, "Were you there?" showing much improvement in shading and development of nuances. The special feature of the service was the appearance of Marion Cumbo, the talented young cellist, who played two numbers. Before the sermon she have a Larghetto by Handel, and as part of the offertory music he did "Air for G String by Bach, developing a luscious, soulful tone quality that intrigued, and displaying technical and temperamental efficiency. The initial recital of the Colored National Republican Hoover-Curtus Glee Club, Otto Bohanan, director, was given Wednesday evening, July 18, at the Community House of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, 151 153 West 136th street. This organization has headquarters at 200. West 135th street, with Abraham Chew, president; Walter T. Dixon, manager. According to Wellington Adams of Washington, a young colored woman, Shirley Graham McCanns, of Portland, Ore., has come East to learn more about Negro music. Miss McCanns is credited with having organized and trained a chorus in Portland that sings only Negro music, which chorus has won high favor with both white and colored. Mr. Adams says that Miss McCanns has appeared recently in Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago, and New York, and in August will appear in Detroit and attend the National Association of Negro Musicians. Roland Hayes is quoted as having commended the work of the chorus following an audition given them on his last western tour. VOCAL STUDIO 105 W. 130th BT.

Charley was highly regarded by members of his profession and by all persons with whom he came in contact, not only for his profession and by all persons with whom he came in contact, not only for his professional ability, but for his unassuming and gentlemanly conduct. Charley had turned the half-century mark, and in his life time had drummed for all the prominent bookers of this city: Jim Europe and E. Brown, both now deceased. Hughie Woolford, Deacon Johnson, both very much alive, and others. Charley, if we mistake not, was a charter member of the N. A. M. A., and has seen the evolution of a dance job from 9 p. m. to 4 p. m., for the price of $4, to the nowadays price of $10 plus, working from 9 to 2. Charley left the Lincoln Theatre on 135th street, about two years ago, after completing a term of ten years as drummer for that theatre. This sustained employment of ten years, we think is unparallele din the annals of Harlem musical history. A member of Monarch 45 Band, this band, under Lieut. Fred Simpson, escorted the body to Mother Zion Church, on July 4th, where masonic rites were performed over the body. Charley was a member of St. John's Lodge, No. 29, and affiliated with all the five Houses. It might be said that Charley died on the job, as he imagined just before he died that he was giving advice to one of the members of Henry Austin's band, working this and the past five or six seasons at Steeplechase, Park, Coney Island. Taken sick on the job and sending George Payne as substitute, Charley collapsed two weeks subsequently. He had been in poor health for four months, suffering from heart trouble. Interment at Evergreen Cemetery. To the widow, Mrs. Mary E. Brooks, to whom he had been married twenty-six years; the son, Aubrey Brooks, and sisters and brothers, this column offers sympathy in their bereavement Hugh Davis, drummer, thinks that Gus Creagh has been summoned to Local 802 so often as defendant, that Gus thought it was time to appear as plaintiff, and charge somebody with some offense. However that may be, Gus charged Davis with disappointing him by not appearing on a job, and on a further charge of negotiating for a job on which he, Gus, was, leader. On the hearing of the complaint last Tuesday, Davis claims he succeeded in proving to the complete satisfaction of the Trial Board that Gus wanted him to leave a job without proper notice, and he had not accepted the new job anyway, having told Gus that he (Davis) would not work RAYMOND CLAYMES Concert Oratorio Recital Phone: Edgecombe 6944 "Mr. Claymes has a voice with a soul and a Rare Interpretative Sense." WEST DEAR I WAS DETAINED AT BUSINESS UNTIL THIS VERY MINUTE JOHN DEAR I BELIEVE IT for the proprietor unless Gus got a contract. And on the second charge, Davis alleges he proved that Gus was no part or parcel of the orchestra when Davis took charge of it. It appears that Gus had placed an orchestra in a dance palace down town, hiring Davis among others. After a week, the manager fired Gus and his orchestra. Gus quickly got another job in a similar place and went to work, remaining for some time. But the manager of the first place wanted Gus back and Gus was willing to go, and wanted. Davis to go back with him. Davis refused to go unless Gus got a contract. One night Gus did not report on the job, and the manager said to the orchestra that he knew what was going on, and had not expected to see them again, but understanding was reached in which Davis was given charge of the orchestra. It was on this same night that Gus had taken an orchestra to his first boss. At the trial, Davis claims his defense was so lucid and his cross examination so effective that his witnesses were not called. Now, Davis is wondering what redress he has against Gus... for causing him this senseless trouble in this torrid weather. Tom Brown of Jersey will ever remember July, 4th, 1928. Tom had a job in Kingston, New York, afternoon and night, hiring three men from New York to make a five-piece band to play the job. He was taking the band to the job in his car. And when the trouble began. Leaving from his home in Jersey in his car, he had a blowout, and then when the blowout was remedied, the car refused to move. Poor Tom had to get a taxi to take his group to the job, a mere $17 ride, arriving at the job two hours late for which he was docked by the dance promoters. Besides the musicians, Tom had taken his wife and her friend along to enjoy the ride and scenery and the picnic. These, added to the five musicians, created a train fare back home that caused Tom to shudder. Then the repairs to the car and getting it home. And after the car was delivered to Tom's home in Jersey, information is that it again balked. This time, Mr. Brown, getting irate, sold the car to a junk man. What a memorable 4th of July was spent by Mr. Tom Brown! Mamaroneck, N. Y. Mamaroneck, N. Y.—Wednesday evening, July 11, Orienta Court, No. 61, O. O.

There are 40. many beneficial elements contained in the preamble of this plan.that if tome, jf not all, were adopted-and incorporated-into the constitution of the, P,P. B. A. they would bring a boon.and a blessing to-the porter who isa member, and who may look forward (0 something when he is re- jred, ; i . SG Mercphe whéle ‘scheme of the General Electric! people is to novel in ius suggestions and so unique in its unselfish consideration for the re tied employee that it deserves the commendation of all classes of ent- ployees, especially those of our group. ase “To my rolnd your sketch of the plan was really a constructiye'bit of information, and fearing’that it may mot have received the attention - or publicity which it merited,:since many may not have’ been fortunate! enough to have read.or heard of it, Iam requesting that your ‘paper reprint the article, tBat ig, if this is not,contrary to the paper's policy. “While this letter id ming, others, that T know, have joined me in| requisting this favor. We feel that the ‘matter of making better pre- Witions for the retited porteris.so'important and germane.to the mem-| bers of our group, that\the 'P. P. B. A. officers’ attention should be| “aalled to this phase of the porters’ situation. Furthermmort, we should \fiue'a republishing of the article so that the whéle body of Pullman, ‘porters may have the benefit of this information. ! : “"L might also add, we—those for whom I speak—gre grateful io| ‘The Age.for its activities in our behalf; for we know that Hon. Fred R, Moore, its, editor, is for the general welfare of the race rather than foc personal and selfish aggrandizenient.”. ~The article which The Age is requested to reprint follows: | OENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY'S PLAN * FOR RETIRED EMPLOYEES — Following up our article of last yeek,'om the need of the Pullman “‘yorter riaking. beticr provisions for the time: when he tras reached the age of.xctiremelit, we ate publishing a brief sketch of a plan of pension “which the General Eleciric Company, one of the foremost industrials in this-country,..will introduce among ite employees, beginning Janv-| uy 1, 1928, -According to the General Electric News, official Maga- zine of the ‘company, of January 1, 1928, the plad will be knows as the Revised Pension Plan and Pension Trust. Like the railroads, the! Pullman Company, and other large indwstrials, the General Electric Company's retirement age'for employees is 70,'but undet-the company’s new plan of pension, the employee may retire at'6S yeart of age, pro-| “Siding he has been in-continuous service with the company for twenty years. . ' : __ For example, if an employee is 4S:years old when the new ‘sys- ‘Yim ofspension goes into effect, he may at 65 years of age,:if désired, {be put on the pension list, and; in addition to his regular pension an- nuity from the company, will receive an a¢eruement from the Revived Felon rast Fond: But, ths, scerunmveut doel;wot. come solely froea the company. The employée hélps to amass: this saving by contribu-| ting | 1-2 percent of his semi-annial earnings for twenty’ years, Say the employee's earnings were-$20 per week, through the plan of coa-| tribution he willhave an aceruement of $505.52 coming to him if he| _ should retire at 65. The higher the earnings of the emptoyee; the great- er will be the amount accured, oes In section 11 of the. preamble of the plan, we note this statement: “The company desires to supplement ‘the Pension Plan by establishing} an Additional Pension Plan from contributions by employees 0 that! von retirement the provision for old age.shallbe/more adequate. The funds so set aside by employee are and’ will always remain theirs.” It * becomes 2 nucleus of savings, if the employee leaves the company or dics, he or his estate receives the amount so accumulated in addition to the pension from the company.” fat tae The:preamble thén goes on ‘to explain the conditions under which the plan shall operate. The employee's. contribution of 134 per cent from his.earnings semi-annually is to be invested by a board of seven ~ custodians, “who shall be the members’ of the Pension, Board, the presi- dent of the G. E. Employees Secorities, Corporation, ex-officia, and ‘one member chosen by the Board of the G..E. Employees Securities Corporation from among the. directors representing the bondholders.” The rayment or distribution of accrued savings is summarized as fol- lows: “ é __TAt the time the’ employee retires on pension, the custodians will in their discretion pay him the amount 40 accumolated in casb or, if the employee desires and the eustodians approve, in securities, or at the taquest of the employee use the accumulated fund for the piirchise of a annuity, o pay the employeé.the’ amount’ so accumulated in not less than 120 monthly sayments: If the payment is miade in 12) moothly dayments and the employee should die before such payments are com- sleted, the rémaining payments will be made to. the employer's, estate, or aC the request of the, estate-will be capitalizd and paid in one sum.” th shortathis additional pension plan.of the General Electric Com- any iy that eligible employees will have the company deduct a’ small Dercestage from their earnings for six months of each year, the, sum of which will be invedted by-a board chosen by the company sd. that, the employees will be better provided for whea they have reached the Aseof retirement, This cofporation realixes that the pension it grants the reured employee is not sufficient monetary ‘nucleus on which to| we, alter his working days are over, hence the idea ia to help him to help himself, ee ° . Now we ste no feasible reason‘why a pension plan.of similar char- “acter should not be introduced among Pullman employees. Surely, if the employees of the General Electric Company, who, in the main, are + Md fairly good wages, require auch paternalism and forethought on the part of their employer, ff may be said that employees of the Pull- man Coinpany are: equally in need of such considration on the part of their employer, Ut course the Pullman service is a different type of| sindustry but that ought not-make any difference,“ Employees Ol this service grow old in their employment the same as the employ: 3 of the-electric:corporation, and when they do arrive at this stage Olle, they negd assistance more then than over.” Seemingly, the Gen hl Electric Company his sensed the moral obligation, regarding the {tore, of the employer te the employee. a SE a RR Mrs Etta Kline Brown 08 2464 Stenth avenue, liad ‘as avbuts . at wer Sunday, July 15° Muy.
