Negro Workmen Employed. Of the forty bricklayers, hod carriers and carpenters now at work there more than half are Negroes and according to Casper Holstein, head of the incorporated building committee under whose auspices the structure is being erected, mechanics or laborers of our group will be used wherever possible. The apartments were expected to be ready for occupancy by the first of January, 1929, but if the present rate of progress is continued, they will be completed a month or two earlier. Negro bricklayers, who, before this job, had to go to The Bronx or Queens to get work, are doing the bulk of the brick work on this building.

Jesse Blount, proprietor of the Lenox Night Club, on the morning of May 28, last. Baker said the shooting was in self-defense. He said that Gladys McCarver, the 20 year old white girl who worked as an entertainer at Blount cabaret, was a friend of his, and that he had gone to Blount to protest against the latter's ill treatment of her.

Our educational program is receiving the support of the government and the general public in a very satisfactory way.

Another benefit that may accrue to Harlem through the construction of these apartments is the opportunity to purchase second mortgage bonds, payment for which is guaranteed by the building and income on the installment plan in designations of $25, $50 and $100. These bonds bear interest at 6 per cent and may be purchased at the Monarch Elks Home. 245 West 137th street, or through The New York Age. This is one of the best investments ever offered in Harlem.

Baker's story does not dovelt with the statement given the police by the McCarver girl, the taxicab driver and by Blount, at the time of the shooting. Blount was taking the girl to her home at 134 Haven avenue in a taxicab on the morning of the shooting. The cab was trailed by another taxi, and when it stopped in front of the girl's home, Blount was fired upon as he stepped from the cab. Four bullets entered his abdomen and he was cognified in the hospital in a critical condition for several days. He was arrested on a charge of assault and the girl was held as a material witness. But when the case was given a hearing, Miss McCarver denied that Blount had ever struck her or had been cruel to her. She denied knowing who fired the shots and the case was dismissed.

THE STREETS OF BOSTON Growing Revolt Among Negro Voters In 19th Assembly District As They Realize Right To More Recognition That the Negro Republican voter in Harlem is awaking to a sense of his own deserts in the matter of racial recognition in political matters is evidenced by the various groups which are registering their protests to the New York Age against a continuance of the custom of concentrating all of the party control and party awards into the hands of the white man. The colored Republican, according to these declarations, is not desirous of hogging the whole thing, but he asserts a determination to secure a recognition commensurate with his strength in the community, a recognition which has been withheld from him most glaringly by the present party leadership paign services, while to three colored women, doing precisely the same work, or possibly more, he allotted the munificent sum of $25 each. Mutterings are being heard which indicate that there is a general revolt brewing among the voters, but the colors of it do not seem to Spreading Disaffection In the 19th A. D., where Attorney Abraham Grenthal, who was elevated to the leadership following the retirement of David B. Costuma and who has been four times named as a member of the State Assembly from the 19th, even the district captains, in some instances, are disgruntled at the arrogance with which the leader is running things. This disaffection is not limited to the Negro workers, but extends to many of the whites as well. But these men, realizing that the Negro vote is a potential majority, are inclined to criticize the colored Republicans for their supine willingness to accept the dictations of a narrow-minded, selfish white leadership, instead of uniting and coming out full strength for greater race recognition. It is said by these men that the Negro is standing in his own light by not making an aggressive and determined fight, not only for party district leadership, but State Assembly and Senate as well. In fact, say some of these men, there is no reason why a colored man should not be sent to Congress from the 21st Congressional district, which embraces practically the whole of the Harlem territory. One-Sided Leadership. Well authenticated reports come from various sources of incidents which show the one-sided manner in which Leader Grenthal is conducting party affairs in the 19th A.D. It is alleged that in the case of three white women, distractworkers, one of them being an associate leader, he gave $2000 each for exam- paim services, while to three colored women, doing precisely the same work, or possibly more, he allotted the munificent sum of $25 each. Mutterings are being heard which indicate that there is a general revolt brewing among the voters, but the coboes of it do not seem to have reached Grenthal's ears. One party worker, following a conference with Grenthal, reports the leader as uttering threats against Alderman Fred R. Moore, who is making a strong fight for race leadership, Grenthal being quoted as saying "Fred Moore's days are numbered. I will see to it that he is not nominated for reelection next year, and that he is consigned to the political trash-heap." Ministers in Harlem, some of whom were quoted two weeks ago as being in favor of race leadership, are continuing their outspoken utterances by way of advising their parishioners of the importance of taking a firm and undaunted stand in support of racial recognition.

In denying the motion, Judge Strong said: "This application is an appeal to the discretion of the Court. In order to win, she offers to prove the illegitimacy of her children. Such conduct cannot be approved. Motion denied." a matter of record. During the course of the trial the defendant, Mrs. Smith, it was shown by records secured from Charleston, S. C., was married on August 27, 1908, at the age of 18 A Pecular Mixup. Thus closed one of the most interesting divorce cases, which has been heard in Brooklyn, a woman allegedly married to two men, stoutly denied one of the marriages, claiming her children—of whom they were six—to be illegitimate. Then one of the husbands sued for divorce, named the other husband as correspondent and won the case. And the other husband has now started suit for divorce naming the second husband as correspondent. The first husband, Jerry Edwards, is Pullman porter, running between New York City and Houston, Tex., and the second husband, Delacy Smith, alleged "policy" barker, is reputed to be worth more than $175,000 from his policy operations. The complaint originally filed against Mrs. Smith asked for a judgment of annulment in favor of the plaintiff; Delacy Smith, on the ground that at the time of said marriage, the husband of the defendant was living, and the first marriage was still in full force and effect. The case was, heard by Judge Burt Jay Humphrey at Special Term, Part 3, of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Kings County, Brooklyn, who granted the motion, of Delacy Smith, through his attorney, Rufus L. Perry, of 375 Fulton street, on Tuesday, July 3. The decree was interlocutory only and will be effective after entry of final judgment, which was to be made within three months from the entry of final judgment. Record of First Marriage. The denial of a new trial by Justice Stroms, however, is final, and annulment of the marriage is now matter of record. During the course of the trial, the defendant, Mrs. Smith, it was shown by records secured from Charleston, S. C., was married on August 27, 1908, at the age of 18 years, to Jerry Edwards, 20 years old, by the Rev. J. P. Sins, pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, Charleston, S. C. Had the marriage occurred one year previous to that date, it would not have been recorded, so it was not previously required by law to keep records of marriages of Negroes, but in 1907 the City Council passed a law making it mandatory for licenses to be secured by Negroes. Of this union, the plaintiff declared there were six children, all of whom died with the exception of Marguerite Louisa Edwards, who was born when Mrs. Edwards was living with Delacy Smith at 43 West 132nd street, Manhattan. Mr. Smith declared that at the time he and the defendant were married he did not know that she had been married to Jerry Edwards, or that he was still alive.

And when they were told that "Robert" was unknown there, they tried smashing in the door with a hammer, grabbing. Mrs. Zerilina Chavis, Henry's wife, and beating her. Mrs. Chavis escaped from Donald and ran to the next floor upstairs, and as Donald and his companions left the building, the leaked out the window and called Traffic Patrolman Charles Kubick of Traffic C. The officer left his post and chased Donald, who was running up the avenue. parafits from several engine houses and the massive trucks were man-powered into positions that cut the crowd into small segments and led to their being dispersed more rapidly. But not a rifle or machine gun was fired, nor did the Reservoir use their guns. The only pistol shot in evidenced during the entire disturbance was fired by someone from the roof or one of the buildings in the neighborhood, whose identity was not discovered. Felled With A Kick. Kubick caught the fleeing man at 139th street, and as he grabbed Donald, to place him under arrest, Donald let go a terrific kick, striking the policeman in the groin. The offender fell to the ground and Donald is reported to have jumped him. A crowd quickly gathered but eye-witnesses residents of the neighborhood some of them business men, declare that reports in the daily papers telling of thousands of Negroes rioting were without foundation. The usual crowds, that are drawn by any excitement naturally put in an appearance, and some of the bot-headed made to assist the prisoner from what they evidently thought was another case of unwarranted police brutality. Other officers quickly put in appearance on the scene, including Patrolmen Irwin Young and Herman DeStellaire of the 16th Precinct, who were on duty in the neighborhood, and they were joined by Patrolman Samuel McFladden, a Negro officer from the same station, who was off duty and in civilian clothes. No Guna Were Used. These men rushed through the crowd and surrounded Patrolman Kubick, who was badly hurt from Donald's kick. At first, the officers used their hands in attempting to quiet the crowd, and to subdue the crowd's demonstrations. As the crowd became more energetic in its effort to aid Donald, the officers had to aid their night-sticks. No attempt was made to use a gun, nor was any weapon drawn by either of the officers mentioned. But when Patrolman Richardson arrived on the scene he drew his revolver and used it as a threatening means by which to make through the crowd to the assistance of his brother officers and their prisoner, the crowd, by this time, having become an almost impenetrable mass surrounding the officers and Donald. Pre Trucks Called Out.. Finding it impossible to control the crowd, many of whom exhibited evidences of being embittered against the white police, the call was sent out for the Reserves, and this was responded to from the West, 135th street, the West 152nd street, the West 123rd street and the East 126th street stations, including the emergency squad from the West 152nd street station, which arrived in its truck carrying the regulation machine gun and rifles. These were followed by fire app parafits from several engine houses and the massive trucks were manpowered into positions that cut the crowd into small segements and led to their being dispersed more rapidly. But not a rifle or machine gun was fired, nor did the Reservers use their guns. The only pistol shot in evidence during the entire disturbance was fired by someone from the roof of one of the buildings in the neighborhood, whose identity was not discovered. When finally the crowds dispersed, Kubick and his prisoner were taken to the West 135th street station where doctors were called from Harlem Hospital to treat the injuries they had received. And then it was discovered that Patrolman McFadden and Young had sustained broken hands and DeStella had severe cuts and bruises. Patrolman Kubick was taken to Harlem Hospital for treatment lated being sent to his home. The other officers were treated at the station and went home on sick report. Besides the bodily hurts, the uniforms of all of the officers were badly damaged. Donald Only One Arrested. Donald was held on a charge of felonious assault, being taken to Harlem Hospital and placed in the prison ward. He had been out and bruised in the meller. He is 30 years and booked as a laborer. The two men who were with him disappeared in the excitement. The only arrest made was that of Donald the officers making no effort to take into custody any of the crowd. They were simply ordered to disperse and this they finally did. Lenox avenue quickly regained its wonted calm, but several extra officers remained on duty in that neighborhood through the rest of Sunday evening. What Eyewitnesses Say. The New York Evening Post on Monday carried a news story in that both Negro and white police had been withdrawn from the vicinity and that no further trouble was anticipated. The Post interviewed Alderman Fred R. Moore, who told the reporter that the disturbance "came, up like a thunderstorm and dispaired as quickly." and that at no time was where a semblance of race rioting. That there was no race feeling in the matter is shown in the fact that both Negro and white policemen were concerned, one of the colored officers not even being on duty at the time. People living in the vicinity of 139th street and Lenox avenue tell conflicting stories as to the size of the crowd. One man, who has a moving and express business, said that most of the crowd gathered after the arrival of the reserves, and at no time did they number more than a thousand people. Another resident told of the arrival of the firemen from the 135th street hook and ladder company who assisted in dispersing the crowd by turning the hoo on.

Froe, Recorder of Deeds, for the District of Columbia, held a con- ference with Mr. Pettijohn of the Federal Farm Loan Board in the board's headquarters in the Barr Building here July 18. Mr. Froe was accompanied by Rienzi B. Lemus president. Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, and Harry H. Jones of the Recorder of Deeds Office. The purpose of the conference was to stress acute need of a trained colored man in the Bureau's administrative personnel because of the conditions which hamper colored farmers in making use of the Farm Loan Act's facilities. Mr. Proe has received a request from a Virginia farmer who was denied a loan by the Bureau because he did not "farm the property the preceding year and the land is not adaptable to agriculture." Conceding the face in respect of failure to farm the preceding year, it was not evident why a farm in the heart of a propeperous agricultural community surrounded by productive farms is "not adaptable to agriculture." Mr. Freo pointed out how successful from every point of view the administrative assignment of a colored rail mail clerk, John D. Gainey, in the Post Office Department, has proved. Mr. Pettjohn stated that if and when the Bureau is furnished evidence of discrimination against a Negro farmer the board would be glad to designate a colored administrative officer. Growing Revolt Among Negro Voters In Harlem (Continued From First Page) one of the largest and most influential congregations in New York City, makes the following declaration: Our Duty Aa Citizens. "We read in the Book of Judges of a curse that came upon a city because of the inactivity of its inhabitants. There is no evidence of any crime being committed, but there was the omission of a plain, positive duty. There was a sin of lukewarmness and carelessness. They let slip an opportunity and neglected a crisis in their history. The Americans of African descent, in Harlem will be guilty of the same sin if they fail to exercise their full rights as citizens. We believe in racial leadership. This leadership should always be unselfish, honest and intelligent. It also deserves our unstinted support. We of the citizenry should qualify as good citizens. We should register and vote in all elections. We should be willing to give as well an to receive. We should be allied with the political party of our choice. Let it be a regular and standing organization. We should become a vital part of it by giving loyal support "A greater effort should be put forth to get out people to properly value their citizenship and the right of franchise. Good government can only be obtained when the best citizens participate in campaigns and go to the polls, electing the best men for office. We must stand up for purity in public life as well as in private, and for standards of public morality not corruption. "Let us not be slackers. Let us be good citizens, interested always in the public welfare. Let us make and support our own leaders. Our duty to the state is as sacred as our duty to the home and Church. The Negro should develop a deeper racial and civic consciousness, strong against evil and a corrupt leadership. Let us rise up in the full measure of our manhood and womanhood, giving the most loyal support to our leaders. "JAMES W. BROWN. "Pastor, Mother A. M. E. Zion Church."

Of especial interest last week was the addresses given on the "Project Method of Education" by Dr.-Mordecai Grossman on Monday, and a practical demonstration of the same by Miss R. Alston and her class in advanced primary methods on Tuesday. This method of education is rapidly gaining favor and it seems almost certain that before long it will be universally used. The Lindburgh Project was demonstrated interestingly. On Wednesday, with the aid of an orthophonic phonograph, Miss Joy Mendes, supervisor of music in the Public School System of Savannah, gave a lecture on music demonstration and the appreclation of music. On Thursday, Mrs. J. B. Horne, supervisor of music in the Negro Public Schools of Savannah, talked on Negro Spirituals and their history. All of these talks and lectures were interesting and much helpful information given to the Assembly. ... Recorder of Deeds Arthur assistant Attorney General; E. D.

It is said the reason for selection of Free for the Department of Justice is dual-he is an able, experienced, successful lawyer in Federal and State Courts in West Virginia, having practiced there for 25 years, and West Virginia is doubtful, with its 65,000 mobile, registered and voting colored voters holding the balance. To Offset Vote Defaction. Hence, it is said, elevation of Froe to a full Assistant Attorney General's post requiring Senate confirmation will offset defection of voters, resentful at Howard's removal from a post which required $n_0$ confirmation by the Senate. A popular Democratic U. S. Senator is up for re-election in West Virginia this year, and his carrying powers are not belittled. Mr. Froe was appointed Recorder of Deeds by President Harding in 1922, reappointed by President Coolidge in 1926, and has made an exceptionally fine record during his incumbency of the office. States In Doubtful Column. Also, as the story goes, a successor to Free must come from a doubtful State. And Ohio, Illinois, New York, are all put in the doubtful column. It is believed that the "next Recorder of Deeds" will come from Ohio, though the forces which supported Homer Phillips for Nexgro manager of the Hoover campaign will solidly back "Billboard" Jackson, now a big-time director of the small business section of the Department of Commerce.

(Staff Correspondence of The Age.) Washington, D. C.—"Not yet but soon," actually, is the reply to the query. When will Negro director of the Hoover voters be designated? Meanwhile the humidity is high, and the brethren sweat copiously, while watchfully (and hopefully) waiting. And it is now stated, semi-authoritively, that this is to be a new dispensation in Presidential campaign management; that neither whites or non-whites will be handled as, heretofore—in short, there is to be no Negro director in the old sense—whatever sense that was; just a sort o' advisor like. To "Slemp" Afric Repubs. The wise men of the Potomac closed each an, eye and pondered in vain as to the interpretation of the new dispensation. Opened wide was each eye, back to normal went contracted brows, when came the announcement that after conference with Chairman Work—a long conference—he decided to not run for Congress in Virginia but to join Work's staff "He" is none other than the Hon. C. Bascom Slemp erstwhile Coolidge Secretary, and greatest politician extant. So, quite obviously, the African-Repub is to be "slemped." It will be recalled that it was Slemp who Cohen of Louisiana as a delegate to the National Convention, though Cohen's delegation was kicked out to make room for the Hoover lily-whites. A serious bid for smashing the ex-solid South will be made by the Hoover forces. Hence Slemp: took the lead in seating Walter and to know just how thoroughly Slemp "slemp" even bellove Africa without a chan, just recall the announcement of Conlidge that Slemp would succeed George Christian as Secretary to the President back in 1922, and the accruing protests of leading U. S. Africs against such elevation of the foremost illwhite to closest official proximity to the President. Janitor Got The Bag. But not an eye batted the "Slemper." He "slemped" 'em all, even the rock-ribbed Henry Lincoln Johnson of noblest and tenderest memories. Thus, Slemp, met at the outset by the mighty lionic chorus roar of big Afric-Repubs, exitted with their lamblike best wishes and tenderest regrets. Additionally: Slemp carried (to the While House waste basket, it was said) their letter of grown good-will, future hope and esteem, and gave to the first Negro janitor he saw (it was alleged) the magnificent traveling bag which the S.

Now and then, however, either the patron, or some red-blooded obsessive willress assentation by verbal objection and by withdrawal of financial patronage. And occasionally there happens an instance in which such an attitude is resented by some individual who is not directly concerned, and whose resentment is at the expense of his own business welfare. To Hell With Customers. Such an incident, occurred some days ago in a delicatessen store on Seventh avenue, between 135th and 136th streets, operated, it is said, my a man named Fink. A colored woman came into the store, according to a report of the incident and asked the delicatessen man for a certain article of goods. In the brussel and roughest sort of way, the man turned contemptiously away, and growled. "I haven't got it—don't keep it." Realizing that the man was insulting and obnoxious, the woman turned away, but it happened that at the time, the store's supply of ice was being put in—and the ice man was a Negro, president of the Harlem Ice Dealers' Association, and this man, outraged at, the manner of the storekeeper in speaking to the woman customer, took the dealer to task. But the man Fink's only reply to the ice man was the terse and laconic utterance: "To hell with 'em." Ice Man Loses Trado That it was not a rare or isolated case is borne out by reports that tenants in the building in which the delicatessen store is located have been subjected to the same kind of treatment and that many of them have withdrawn their patronage from the store. It is further asserted that even Fink's employees are disgruntled and dissatisfied because of the manner in which they are treated by their employer. The say he speaks without regard to their feelings and has no consideration for them as workers. And as a result of the ice man's taking up the cudgels in behalf of the mistreated colored woman customer, he is not now delivering ice in 100-pound cakes to Fink, the delicatessen man. And there is another story behind this. For when the contract was made, Fink pleaded poor business and hard times and persuaded the ice man to give him a special rate, just barely more than the wholesale rate paid by the ice man. But after witnessing the scene and hearing Fink on this occasion, the ice man told him with an air as frigid as the commodity he he was handling that no further concession would be granted. Any further supply of ice would be paid for at the regular retail price. Gets Ice From Milk Man. When the man demurred, he was told that no ice at all would be delivered So, the delicatessen man had to make other arrangements. The report is that through some kind of an arrangement, he is getting the milkman to bring every morning an extra quantity of ice. Whether this is satisfactory or not, last Sunday morning the supply evidently ran short, for Fink, called up what he thought was another ice dealer, but what is really a branch plant of the original ice man in this story, and begged for the delivery of two cakes of ice. The branch manager called up the principal and asked instructions. He was told to deliver the ice, but to demand a substantial bonus over the regular price, which was done, and which bonus was duly collected Refuses To Join Body The ice dealers' association is gradually proving its value in the matter of giving the Negro ice dealer a worthwhile showing in getting a share of the ice business in Harlem. The Italian dealers have the advantage of a long entrenchment, and, as told in last week's Age, they have the further advantage of an understanding with landlords and superintendents. Not all of the Negro dealers are affiliating, it is reported. One dealer on West 141st street has refused outright to join, declaring his preference for a business alliance with the Italian dealers This same dealer, it is said, is supplying smaller members of the association with their daily supply of ice, making deliveries in his large motor truck, but measures are under consideration for taking care of this phase of the situation. It is said that association members are in position to handle ice sufficient quantities to supply the smaller dealers and that, this will be done as soon as possible Homelike Cottage OPENED ALL YEAR All Modern Improvements Rates Reasonable FIELDS' 124 Beekman Street Saratoga, N. Y. E. H. WILSON, Proprietor A Select Transient and Family Hotel LENOX AVENUE AT 145th STREET THE NEW YORK AGE Governor Richards Meets Habeas Corpus Proceedings In Ben Bess Case With Revocation of Pardon South Carolina, first of the southern states to secede from the Union, is again pioneering along lines that indicate ruthless disregard of the rights of man, legal and ethical; for poor Ben Bess, the former well-to-do Negro farmer, who was given a full and unconditional pardon after serving thirteen of a thirty years' sentence, is back in prison, and Governor John G. Richard has taken the unparalleled action of revoking the pardon. Ben Bess was accused of criminal assault on a white woman, wife of one of his farm tenants, and although it was shown that if there had been any intimate relations between the man and woman it was entirely voluntary on her part, the South Carolina Court convicted the Negro and the Judge gave him a thirty years' sentence Swore He Was Innocent. After thirteen years had been served, the white woman signed an affidavit, "for the good of her soul," that she might die with a clear conscience, swearing that the man was innocent. On the strength of this, the governor issued a pardon and the Columbia State started a campaign to raise funds for Bess as a measure of atonement for the undeserved suffering he had undergone. Then, following an alleged investigation there came a statement that the white woman had recanted her first affidavit saying that she did not know its contents; that she meant to say that she forgave Bess, but to say that he was innocent. And contrary to all precedent, the Columbia State, recalling no parallel case. Governor Richards immediately had Bess put back in State Prison for, as he said, "safe keeping." And when Attorney N. J. Freericks, Negro lawyer of Columbia, instituted habeas corpus proceedings in court to test the holding of Bess in prison, the Governor came right back with an order withdrawing, cancelling and annulling the pardon granted by him on May 12, last, giving as a reason the alleged second affidavit which (Continued From First Page) He also charged Mrs. Smith with signing his name to checks, cashing them and taking money, from his safe to the amount of approximately $20,000, while he was in jail serving a three months' sentence for policy conviction. He produced one of the 'checks for $200 which was, cashed while he was serving his sentence. Woman Denies Allegations. In answering the complaint, Mrs. Smith denied the material allegations and as a defense alleged that at the time the plaintiff and herself intermarried, he had full knowledge of the fact that Marguerite Louise was the child of Jerry Edwards, and that, although knowing these facts, Mr. Smith had voluntarily lived with her as husband and wife. Mrs. Smith claimed that about September 4, 1927. Mr. Smith had committed adultery with a woman by the name of Florence Rhodes at 162 Adelphi street, Brooklyn, and from that date had lived in adulterous relationship with the woman at the same house. Mrs Smith said that she was 33 years old and was born at Summerville, S. C. where she met Jerry Edwards, the father of Marguerite Louise, who was born in New York City on October 20, 1913. She said she met Mr. Smith a short time before the birth of the child, and that he had knowledge of the fact that Edwards was responsible for her condition During all this time, she said, Smith came to see her and had inquired whether or not Edwards was going to keep his promise to marry her. She said that she replied that it did not seem likely that Edwards would marry her. A little more than five years after the birth of the child, she and Smith were married in New York City, at the Municipal Building, by the city clerk. In June, 1924, Mrs. Smith stated that she and her husband moved to Brooklyn where, with money that both had saved, they purchased for $12,500, the house at 477 Waverly avenue, upon which there is a mortgage of $5,000. declared the first affidavit to be false, obtained by fraud. The Governor was in conference with Attorney General John M. Daniel before and at the time of issuing the manifesto revoking the pardon. Demands The Whole Truth. The Columbia State, in an editorial printed July 18, recites the story of the Governor's action, and then comments as follows: "Unusual as is the action taken—we recall no parallel case—it is presumed the governor has the law to support his revocation of an unconditional pardon. The State is not informed as to the evidence recently secured by the Governor to justify him in branding as "false and fraudulent" the papers upon which he acted. He is the preme judge of that, but we are lacking in evidence that would justify us in sharing his belief. If there was falsehood and fraud and conspiracy, there should be punishment. A crime was committed against the State of South Carolina if misrepresentation, falsehood and fraud were employed in securing a pardon for Ben Bess, and the Commonwealth cannot be helpless. If this thing was done it, was done, it was done by white men. Who are they and why did they do it? If they are guilty of fraud they should be prosecuted and punished; if they are not guilty of the fraud charged by the Governor they should have opportunity to vindicate themselves. Of one thing we are absolutely convinced, and that is that the whole truth has not yet been told." of a tenement house at 162 Adelphi street, in which he has an equity of about $33,000, and for many years was and still is in the 'policy' game. She said his earnings from week to week varied from $2,000 to $7,000, a week. Of this about $1,000 was clear profit, she said after paying for police protection and other necessary expenses. Then from the Afro-American League, at-6 Gates avenue, she said he made from $50 to $75 a week. The defendant said that in March 1927, her husband was convicted of violation of the penal law, section 974—relating to policy playing—and violation of the Sullivan Law, and was sentenced and served three months in the penitentiary. During Mr. Smith's incarceration, she alleges that Miss Florence Rhodes took care of his property and other affairs, and also was wested with authority to make withdrawals from the bank. She asked the Court to allow her at least $250 per week temporary alimony and counsel fees of $5,000. At the first hearing of the case, Judge Humphrey granted Mrs Smith $20 per week temporary all-monny until final judgment on the case. This was automatically discontinued on July 17, when Judge Strong denied the motion made by the woman for a new trial. In order to get the woman's first husbaid to testify at the trial it was necessary for Rufus L. Perry, attorney for Smith, to have Edwards arrested and held in the New York County Jail With the granting of annulment to Smith, Mrs. Ernestine Steflight Edwards Smith now faces a second divorce proceedings against her by her first husbaid, Jerry Edwards, who has already filed papers naming Smith, a correspondent. 5-Weeks Conference At Nashville, Tennessee. The principals supervisors, home demonstration agents, agriculture agents, Smith-Hughes and Smith-Lever workers closed a five weeks conference at A. & I State College at chapel hour Thursday. Brief talks were made by members of the conference and resolutions were drawn up commending the State Department of Education, the University of Tennessee, A. & L. State College, President W. Pleasantville, N. Y.—This town was aroused to a high pitch of indignation Saturday following the arrest of Joseph A. Cullin, a white man, for criminal assault on Mrs. Susie E. Richardson, wife of R. Eugene Richardson, a well known Negro. Mrs. Richardson suffered a nervous breakdown in 1921 and has not been quite normal, mentally, since that time. Mr. Rjchardson returned home just as the attack took place and called Patrolman Clapperton from his beat to make the arrest. Cullin was given a preliminary hearing two hours later and hled without bail for the action of the grand jury. Friends of the man declare that he is himself insane and it is reported they are making an effort to have him committed to an insane asylum. Mrs. Richardson will be remembered to New Yorkers as the former soprano soloist at Little Mt. Zion Baptist Church on West 140 street. The Richardsons are also well nknown in Detroit and Battle Creek, Mich, St. Petersburg, Fla, Savannah and Augusta, Ga, and in South Carolina, their former home. Mr. Richardson declared to a representative of The Age that his wife's mental condition was such that she could not care for herself, and that her assailant should be punished. He expressed the intention of doing all in his power to push the case against Cullin. Important Conferences At S: C. State College Orangeburg. S.

Wannamaker of the Planters Bank and President Scarborough of the South Carolina Cotton Growers Association The program was conducted by Verde Peterson, government agent of the Smith-Hughes workers, W. H. Garrison, assistant R. R. Mellette, county supervisor and J. P. Burgess, innereate teacher. The 4-H conference brought here 250 boys and girls who enjoyed a program mapped out by State Agent Dora Boston and H.E. Daniels. Many of these visitors were in the city in time to inspect a beautiful display of home economic work at State College. Director Gardner of this department explained that all of the plate dyes, which gave beautiful prints, for evening gowns center pieces luncheon tops, were done in hand by her students. They with a few tools could make any design they desired and with crayons and ink could reproduce on any cloth a non-fading pattern. This department is filled with earnest workers. The Odd Fellows are preparing for the state meeting that will bring two thousand delegates and visitors here August 10-16. Explanations of new scientific discoveries were made by a lecture demonstration of President R S. Wilkinson of State A. and M College in chapel Tuesday morning. Talking movies, radio photography, radio transmission and many other new scientific discoveries were made clear and interesting to more than eight hundred summer school teachers, Smith-Hughes workers and 4-H club boys and girls.

So far, according to First Deputy Police Commissioner Philip D. Hoy, in charge of the traffic situation, it has not been possible to adapt any of the available systems to Seventh avenue in a manner that will ensure satisfactory results. There remains, it is suggested, the removing of the trees, which will clear the avenue of obstructions which now make it impossible to install the lights, and this will mean the reconditioning of Seventh avenue to approximate the same conditions as now obtain on Park avenue further down town. The Department of Parks is averse to taking this radical step, however, without first finding out if the residents on that thoroughfare are willing. The trees which line the sidewalks on either side will be retained, only those in the center of the avenue being removed. It is pointed out that this will not necessarily detract from the avenue's attractiveness, but will enable the city to add appreciably to the available driving width of the street. Ask Citizens' Opinions Citizens of Harlem are requested by the city authorities to give expression to their opinion on this matter so that an early decision may be reached with regard to installation of traffic liqts. The greatly increased use of Seventh avenue by motor traffic, which includes the line of No: buses operated from 125th street to Fort George by the Fifth Avenue Bus Co. intensifies the problem and makes necessary immediate action to lessen congestion possibilities, and to make greater safety to pedestrians. Readers of The Age are invited to send expressions to Alderman Fred R. Moore, editor of The Age, as to their attitude towards the removal of the trees so that traffic lights may be installed, or the retention of the trees, which will indefinitely delay the light installation. Or they may write direct to Park Commissioner Walter R. Herrick, Arsenal Building, 5th avenue and 61th street, whose department has supervision of the city's parks and trees. Traffic lights on Fifth and Lenox avenues will soon be in operation. Booker T. Washington A "World Man" In Future Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—"Not as a Negro, nor as an American, but as a world man will Boker T. Washington be remembered 50 years hence." Dr. Carter G. Woodson, editor of the Journal of Negro Life and History, declared in an address before the teacher students of the summer school. "He revolutionized education. He was an educational reformer of the stature of Pestalozz. And as such will the world pay tribute to him." Dr. Woodson spent two days here lecturing. He urged Negroes to reclaim African spirituality, most of which they lost in their transition to America. In our cultural background in Africa we find much upon which to build race pride Dr. Woodson said He reviewed the role the Negro has played in the ancient world and in the discovery and development of America. Wednesday Dr. Bradford" A. Knapp, recently elected president of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn, spoke, "Education", he said, "is preparation for the job one has to do in life. Anything that contributes to this preparation is education and all of it does not come through formal training in school. Vocational education increases the resourcefulness of the student, teaches him by example and fits him for life." Dr. Eradford was introduced by Dr Robert-R Moton, principal Tuskegee Institute. Cleveland, O.—The 54th biennial session of the general Masonic congress, and the United Supreme Council of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Masons, opened here on Monday, July 24. The opening was preceded by a parade and sermon on Sunday. It was estimated that over 5,000 delegates and members of the order were in the line of march. The members of the order assembled at their headquarters, 5311 Woodland avenue, and marched to the Mount Zion Temple, Central avenue and East, 55th street. There the sermon was delivered and a very excellent program was also rendered. On Monday the members of the Supreme Grand Council of thirty degree Masons met at the Mount Zion Temple, C. C. Williams, M. P. S. G. C., presided. The session was devoted to affairs of the council. Public Reception Held Repons showed that the council is increasing in members and its finance under the leadership of Sovereign Grand Commander Wilhams, who is also grand master of his order in the State of Louisiana. On Tuesday the General Masonic Congress was in session. At the evening hour memorial services were held: On Wednesday, the Imperial Grand Council of the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, of which Grand Master John H. Smith of the State of New York is imperial potentate, met. On Thursday the grand chapter of the Royal Arch Masons, of which G. W. Smith is the head, was in session. In the afternoon there was an outing. The Knights Templars were the next to hold a session. N. Boo-er, who is the head of this branch of the order, presided. In the evening there was a banquet. Saturday was devoted to sightseeing. Reports from the Blue House lodges to the Consistory and the thirty-third degree indicates that all departments of the order are growing along all lines.

Na URDAY: JULY B10 THE LESSON OF HOUSTON. ; The holditg of the National Democrat- fic convention in a Southern city like ‘Houston, Texas, for the first’ time in fiity ‘years or more, afforded Northern Demo- erats a needed vbject lesson, It gave the epresentatives of Northern Democracy from all points East and West an oppor- unity to acquire at least a superficial jowledge of race conditions as they ex- fee below Mason and Dixon's line. It brought them into close contact with the various forms of Southern intolerance as ticed toward the Negro and even to- .fward those whites who @ffered with the “prevailing views.of the majority. So pro- ile was this exhibition of intoler- ice that Governor Ritchie of Maryland ad to plead fot a hearing when discuss- ing the prohibition plank. ' The rabid prejudices of race and relig- fe fomented by such demagogues as ‘Heflin of Alabama and Blease of South "Carolina, were seething below the surface ‘praoothness of Southern hospitality, ever? ‘now and then bubbling to the surface in ‘some slur cast upon the leading candidate Yor the nomination. Even the aftermath “ofa lynching was not spared the North- ‘fern visitors, the event itself having been ‘btaged a few days before the convention “opened. To be sure. the focal authorities “endeavored to reassure the Northerners ghat mob murder was fot countenanced in Houston. by making a parade of pun- “itive measurés, but how far the prosecu- tion of the lynchers proceeded after the delegates dispersed is doubtful. _ The Southern attitude toward the Negro in the ‘way of segregation was defined by the wire screen partition erected to fence off the Negro visitors to the convention from the rest of the assemblage. The hypocrisy.of the dry opposition to Governor Smith's candidacy by the Southern delegates was betrayed by the _number of speakeasies in operation on ‘every side and the rabid dry orators who (rank wet. The Southern attitude against ithe mixing of the two races in public places and conveyances was shown up as pmisleading and inconsistent by the vari fety of complexion and physiognomy en- ountered among the colored population. fins of itself stamped the protestations f racial purity to be as insincere as the fadvocacy of prohibition. The Northern Jemocraté. who attended the Houston convention and who kept their eyes and lears open, learned more about Southern lintolerance and inconsistency, than they ould have acquired by years of listen- ‘fre to Southern missionaries in the North. “Tf these Northern: visitors in addition ‘to, attending the convention sessions, took "Whe opportunity to visit the colored sec- “Rion of Houston, they undoubtedly came jaway with a greater sympathy for a race iret could. achieve such a degree of ma terial progress and self-respiect under the Oem ‘of gross inconsistency and intoler- cance. The holding of a national conven- ‘tion in a Southern city like Houston “ should prove an object lesson to North- ern Democrats. | _ DIVIDING THE SOLID SOUTH.

In addition to the Republican attempts to secure Democratic support for the nation: ‘al ticket, there are also symptoms of re- volt among Southern Democrats which may bring some cooperation from that side of the fence, This outbreak of dissatisfaction among Southern Democrats was brought ‘to a head in the conference held at Asheville, N.C. at the call of Bishop Cannon of the Southern Methodist Church, an act- ive leader of the bone dry prohibitionists. At this, meeting “Governor Smith, was roundly:-emoanced, ‘both . personally. arid politically, for his views on modification, and active support was pledged to aid the ‘election of Hoover, There are™-other Southern states, notably Texas and North Carolina where opposition is expressed to the candidate nominated at Houston, but whether jt will go as far as supporting & Republican is far from certain, Even the Methodists, who resent most strongly ‘the nomination of Smith, do not go all the way with Bishop Cannon. The in- ‘fluence of Bishop Cander of Atanta- is said to be helping, to keep other Method- ist preachers from joining the Cannon movement to defeat Smith, . To take, advantage of this Democratic dissatisfaction and to utilize it-as a wedge to split the Solid South we find former Congressman Slemp of Virginia active on the Republican side. As a candidate for Gongress* from Virginia, C. Bascom Slemp lost favor with his Negro consti uents. when he became allied with a Lily- white’-movement in that State. .He dis- creetly avoided a renomination and the Republican named to succeed him went down to defeat thereby eliminating the last vestige of party representation from that state. As Secretary to President Coolidge, through some mollifying influ- ence, Mr. Slemp became quite popular with Negro representatives who sought audience with the President.’ His politi- cal policy in Virginia was not reflected in his new position, ad All of Mr. Slemp’s political ‘adroitriess and personal amiability’ will be required to enable him to function effectively in the new role assigned him by report, that of making Southern votes for Hoover. To do this, He must make it appear that the Républican “party is now a pure Lilywhite organization in the South, all Negro membérs of the“National Commit- tee having been eliminated by hook or crook. At the same timhe the Negro votes for Republican represeritatives, in the dis- tricts where they count and are counted, must not be alienated. Such districts are to be found in Kentucky, Maryland, Ten- nessee, West Virginia, Missouri. This difficult task’ of carrymg water on both shoulders“has been turned over to Mr. JSlemp, with the belief that if anybody can ‘accomplish it he can. The operation of dividing the Solid South politically is one of major import- ance, that will ‘require sacrifices from all parties concerned, The Negro voters and their representatives have formed the first sacrificial offering from the Repub- lican side, What the Democrats are pre- pared to sacrifice is not yet wholly clear, and yet that'section can afford to sacri- fice much in order to secure the right to make a free choice between the two candidates. Fear of the bogey of Negro domination, conjured up by political dem: agogs, has hitherto prevented the politi- cal emancipation of the White South. How far Bishop Cannon and the Anti- Saloon League will help the cause along emai to be seen, TAMMANY AND THE SOUTH. Vexed by the opposition of some of the irreconilable Texas Democrats, who cannot accept the nomination of Govern- or Smith with equanimity, the New York Evening World insisted ‘that Tammany has supported the Southern people in ev- ery real crisis.in their affairs. It recount: ed that service as follows: When just after the war between the States the plan was concocted by Thad Stevens and the Radicals to subject the defeated section for an indefinite time to the rule of the bay- net, Tammany took a pronounced position against this outrageous program. Throughout Those dark days when the <civilizauon of the South was trembling in the balance, Tammany was a champion of its rejected rights. Thus, too, when the Farce Bill was threatening, the Tammany representatives jn Congress, fought with Lamar and. the other Southern leaders. ‘Such heing the historical relation of Tam- many and the*South, it is a bit absurd and Father ungrateful 10" imply shat. because the New Yorke Dentocracy believes, in the appli sation of the Southern principle of State Rights to the solution of the Prohibition prob- em it hurls insults at the South, It is a wonder that the reminiscent ed- itor did riot describe Tammany Hall as the stronghold of Copperhead Democ: racy, which opposed the prosecution of the war to save the Union and which un- Jer Buchanan would have surrendered Fort Sumter at the first rebel demand, However, he did the best he could’ short of having Tammany men enroll in the ranks of the Confederacy or swelting the numbers of the Ku Klux Klan, It is strange how a Northern Democrat feels it necessazy to entphasize the sub- servience of his party to the South, BLEASE AND THE CONSTITUTION, United States Senator Cale Blease of South Carolina recently came out in a let: ter criticizing the Democratic candidate for President and John J. Raskob, chair- man of the Democratic National Commit- tee, for their attitude on prohibition, Sen- ator Rlease avers that if it had been known that these two Remocrats would favor a revision of the prohibition laws, several Southern states would haye re- fused: to itake partin . the Houstom ‘com: “‘THE-NEW YORK AGE. vention, Senetor Blease thinks, or at east so asserts, that such statements and Position will cost the Democrati¢ party ‘thousands of votes this fall and probably cause its defeat: | This is-pure bunk of course, as Gov- ernét Smith's ylews on prohibition were ‘too well known before the convention for any Southern Democrat to have any illu- ‘sions about them, It may be that he was expected to soft pedal hhis expressions on ‘the subject after the nomination ' was ‘handed to him on a platter but that course ‘evidently did not appeal to him. He ‘knew that the South accepted him as a candidate merely because he was the most available means to an ond, and the chance ‘to elect a President counted for more than any principle involved in prohibition. Mr. Blease’s statement ran as follows: “IE the people, of this Nation had known three months age that this was to be the po- sitioa of Governor Smith. and the chairman ef the National Democratic Executive Com- mittee, I am shtisfied that but few, if any, ‘of the southern states would have partici- pated in the Houston convention but would have held a ‘simon pure’ Democratic conven- tion of gheir own and would have plated in the field a platform and candidates of their choice ‘and invited all citizens of the United States of America to join them in the elec- . tion of such candidates. “Tam supporting and expect to support the nominees of the Houston convention: because Tam a Democrat, and havng participated in that convention, will support its nominees. ‘However, | fear very much for the result un- less we stand by and uphold the Constitution in all respects as it is written. “As a Senator of the United States I shail not vote to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment for to modify or repeal the present laws for its! enforcement.” The idea of Cote Blease fearing. for any result, “unless we stand by and uphold thé-Constitution in all respects as it is writen,” is too absurd to be taken serious- ly by anyone who knows that the South Carolina Senator holds bis seat through the nullification of the War amendments. This protestation of devotion to the Con- stitution is the rankest sort of hypocrisy. _ But why is Senator “Blease trying to jeopardize the chances of electing a Dem- ‘cratic President? Is he a-bigger man in his State with a Republican in the White House? . EXAMPLE OF WOMAN'S WORK. ‘The recent donation made by Mr. John D. Rockefeller. Jr., for the purpose of car- tying out; the program for .a children’s community center in Harlem, has direct- ed attention to the result of the work in- stituted by the Utopia Neighborhood club, whose house has been offered for that purpose by the president, Mrs. Daisy Reed. Some years ago a drive was con- ducted by this organization of women, which realized nearly ten thousand dol- lars all raised in Harlem. Its purpose was to raise funds to establish a child, wel- fare and recreation center to offset the high percentage ,of delinquency among Negro children. The club continued to raise {ands:through its fashion shows and contributions until it purchased a build- ing anf® had it renovated to suit the pur- Pose it was intended to serve. + "In order to reach a definite knowledge of the needs of the work a statistical sur- vey was made by Mrs. Clarissa Scott De- laney, through the research department of the National Urban League. This was financed by the Women's City club and the report turned over to the Welfare Council of New York City, with suitable recommendations. Among the latter was the plan for the community center for children; to be established in the house provided hy the ‘Utopia Club. One hun- dred and fifty childrén-can he cared for through this agency, it is estimated, meals being furnished at noon and evening in the cafeteria, for children whose mothers have to be at work.” . The donation made by Mr., Rockefeller will be available immediately, it was stat- ed, so that the plan for the community center may be carried into effect without delay. In the meantime the Utopia club is responsible for the raising of two thou- ‘sand dollars annually for the upkeep of the house. to which the citizens of Har- lem are expected to continue their sup- port. This is a highly’ commendable work, started and carried forward to a practical stage by the members of the-Utopia club, under the energetic and efficient leader- ship of their pfesident, Mrs. Reid. Its rec- ognition as a practical means of preven- tion of juvenile, delinquency by taking care of the children while not under pax rental supervision is gratifying! As a method of relieving a dangerous situa- tion and safeguarding those children who age exposed tor the perils of the streets, it appears to be both sound and practi- cable. It is a good example of woman's club work. A PARDON REVOKED. The strange case of Ren Bess, a South arolina Negro, who was pardoned by overnor Richards after serving thirteen cars in the State pentitentiary, has been itther complicated ‘by the action, ‘ot’ the The strange case of Ben Bess, a South Carolina Negro, who was pardoned by Governor Richards after serving thirteen years in the State pentitentiary, has been further complicated by the action ‘of’ the pardon. The charge upon which Bess was convicted and sentenced to, thirty years im- prisonment was criminal as- salt upon a white woman, but he was reléased upon the affidavit of the woman that the had testified falsely.” The Columbia State, 4° leading South Carolina daily, raised a fund of over seven hundred dollars to make some provi- sion for his permanent relief. After a short time at liber- ty, Bess was returned to, the penitentiary, “ostensibly for safekeeping. Then followed this action by, Governor Rich- ards, withdrawing and cancel- ing the pardon as if it had never been signed, upon the ground ‘that the representa- tions upon which it, was granted were false and fraudulent. Bess is now back in the penitentiary in the stat- us of a condemned convict and the Columbia State is asking the contributors ‘to the -fiind for his relief what disposition ~ WEEKLY NOTES FROM INDIA By The-Age Special Correspondent The Modern Padgett.

Rakestraw, pastor, Services held Sunday, July 22, 1928. o.m. - Sunday school. 9 a. m.—Sunday school. 10 a. m.—Junior Church—Sermon by the pastor, subject, "A Little Slave Girl Who Helped Another" II Kings 5. the same comes when we can help others. We must not be selfish but use every chance to help. Do some good deed each day. 11 a. m.—Morning worship—Sermon by the pastor, subject "The Universal Testimony of the Christian Heart." Text Matthew 10.15- 16 "Whom do men say that I the Son of Man am!" Jerus was not concerned about what the populace thought of Him, but what individuals are thinking about Him. Thoughts tell what we believe, what we are. The thought of a man, a wise man, a picture of evil lives. What are men thinking about the Christ? Everyone must form his own conception of Christ. The world more readily accepts the thoughts of man instead of God. Upon the great confession of Peter, Christ has built the Christian Unchurch, and not matter what hostile condition might prevail in church, Christ about the altar as 'God's prince' to the Christian world. 'The gates of hell shall never prevail against it'. 6 p.m. - Epworth League. Young People's hour - Topic and discussion. 'Books and Drama of the Social Awakening' 8 p.m. evening worship - The pastor mamed the fourth of the six special sermons, subject. 'Rilking the Garbage of Harlem for a Man.' Sripture basis found in II Samuel 10.22-23. There are many young people who have talents, but have hid them under the sordid thing that led us of using them to God's glory. The people in looking for Saul to crown him as King, found he had hid himself among the stuff. God wants, the church to roll up, its sheaves and rife the garbage cans of new of the church is to save souls. Jesus said I came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. Where are the people of New York? Why do we have so many pews? They are hidden beneath the stuff and garbage of his church in many cates lead to self-destruction. God help the church to rifle the garbage of Harlem to save souls. Mother Zion Church The lowering clouds and the falling rain did not keep the members and friends of Mother Zion on from services last Sunday morning. The pastor preached, using as his Fisher's of "Men," Mark 1:17 A: the close of his discourse, fifteen persons united with the church. A number of visitors were present, among them being J. L.

The morning prayer is the pastor, Dr. Garner, in understanding and encouragement, well worth remembering. The more tendered exceptionally aware anthems during the service, well in the house of the Lord, and blessed he the name of the Lord. The mother's sermon was taken from Matthew 6, and its theme was "The Seven Steps in the Lord's Praise." We would be grateful to explain of an interesting topic and the congregation had a better conception of the Lord's Praise than they have ever had before. After the service Dr. Garner calls together his officers and different workmen, to talk over and plan work. The first thing noted on was that the church, together with five other churches, yet to be named, will take part in the "Dream of Queen Ester" (an allegory), to be given later in the season at the armory under the direction of Miss Vanella Jones at Pittsburgh. A committee of five was appointed by the pastor, Dr. Garner, who is the director from Wace Church: Mesdames Elizabeth Washua and Elizabeth H. Davis and Chas Evans, Percy Bean and James Payne. The canta by Miss Ruth Ellis in October was also favorably acted upon. Plans for the excursion are well under way and the chairman, Mr. Mitchem, has secured the services of a part of John Smith's Orchestra to accompany the outing.

Lesson for next week: "Giving our best." Numbers 19:25-32. Paradise Baptist Church Last Sunday Rev. H. W. Stanley preached a most instructive sermon from St. John, 5:8, "Rise take up thy bed and walk." The man who was sick for 38 years was known to perform three acts of healing to relieve his health and strength. The thought for those who would maintain their strength spiritually is to rise early from your sins, take a task for Jesus and carry it through. There was one convert. Despite the weather we had at the evening, we had a goodly number assembled to hear the powerful message delivered by Rev. Brown, an evangelist. His discourse was taken from St. Luke 19:3. "And he sought to see Jesus," Rev. Brown advised us that in order to see Jesus we must climb high. At the close of the sermon A. Bough and Mr. Edwards rendered a duet. Bethel A. M. E. Church The Young People's Lyceum held a very interesting program last Sunday afternoon at four o'clock, when Rev. William Lloyd Imes delivered an address on "The Church and The Community", stressing the fact that the church should take part in political nature.

Williams, Timbrel Quartet, and Robert Freeman, of the band, with a Saxaphone Sextet, both of which furnished encore numbers. Vocal solos were given by Miss Sadie Williamson and Benjamin Johnson.

Lawson and Dr. R. M. Bolden of First Emanuel each with their respective well trained choir, have appeared before large and enthusiastic audiences with a message making known to the righteous worshippers of God, the value of unity among mankind; pointing out, and making known to all humanity, the endless trail of truth that leads to life everlasting the way in which all may enter, by following in the footsteps of Jesus since the time of Life. The only way of enering this life, is by doing whatsoever is command of Him. Each speaker to the reverse of the foregoing principle has warned the wicked and sinful of the shame, misery, and unhappiness that is measured out to them from time to time, by their father—the Devil—who they serve. All earnestly telling the worshippers of Basil, of God's promise to those, that die in their sins, they are to be treated around the Almighty, and His outstretched arms to a hungry nation; to come and drink of the fountain of life that never runs dry. Mere cold words can never express our thankfulness to God, and to each individual that came to make our Anniversary a successful one. Among the churches and Pastors who are yet to favor us with their presence are: Dr. E. A. Saunders, of Bethel A. M. E. Church and choir; Dr. J. B. Harris of Rendall Memorial and Church; Dr. B. Brown of Fleet St. Street, Brooklyn and choir, Dr. E. M. Rakestraw and Calvary M. E. Church and choir, and others. The out of town visitors include Mrs. Fannie L. McDonald, Head nurse of Flent Goodrich Hospital of New Orleans, Mr. Benson Boutte, graduate of Straits College, New Orleans and others Preachers and leaders of all faiths, creeds to denominate, and those unfamiliar friends are cordially invited Refuge Church of Christ, 52-56 West, 133rd street Rush Memorial Church A simple and yet practical sermon was preached by Dr. Oliver at the eleven o'clock service last Sunday. Subject, "The Need Of Certainties In Religion," 1 Corinthians 14:8 was presented in a clear and concise manner. The need of certainties in religion is perhaps more urgent than the need of certainties in the more material things of life. The evil of uncertainties ought to be well guarded against. One ought to be extremely careful in listening to the voices of false prophets. They should be careful in placing the proper construction on theology, and observe with utmost scrutiny the various treeds. There is one certainty of which we are sure, and that is the religion of Jesus Christ. Christianity is the provision made by God, whereby man can escape Death. We might weigh with the greatest care the many things that confiont us, and we would find, in the end that there is nothing accomplished, nothing is certain save this Christian religion. At 3 o'clock, the junior choir, with Miss Naomi Haynes, and Noble Ross, supervising, rendered a program of charm. The evening sermon was preached by A. M Nealy, who selected text in St John 1:7 Among the many visitors who called during the week was Bishop W. W. Matthews, of the 11th Episcopal District, who dropped in on the regular Tuesday night class meeting and inspired our hearts with a few helpful remarks. Next Sunday at 3 o'clock, the Rev Mr. Hogan of Mother Zion Church will preach for us, and the Satellite Sextet of Abyssinian Baptist Church will render special musical number. Auspices of the senior choir, Mrs Mary Brundage, president St. Martin's Chapel The 11 o'clock service was well attended inspire of threatening weather. Many visitors were also present and a few joined the church. James A. Reid, president of the Men's Guild, made a brief address before the sermon Rev Johnson's sermon was the subject of "Sin", and he made the distinction between those who try to hide it from the world and those who sin openly and take the attitude that it is no one's affairs but theirs. Those who try to hide sin are more or less repentant and recognize their weakness, and the destructive effect which will eventually result The hold siner is a challenge to God and Society. At the 4:30 service Mr Redding, the organist, gave a fifteen minute organ recital which was enjoyed by those present This will be a permanent part of the afternoon services. Next Sunday at the 4:30 service, Professor Nixon and his music school will give a special musical program. Salem M. E. Church The morning sermon at Salem Church was preached by Dr. Charles I. Trigg, district superintendent in the Washington Conference of the M. E. Church. His text was "The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few," Matthew 9:37-38. These words, said Dr. Trigg, are as fresh today as when originally intered, as there are no obsolete teachings of Christ. "The idea Jesus conveys of a lost soul," explained Dr. Trigg, "is a soul out of place." The tragedy of our city life today is that it tends to displace so many people. The youth of this city could be brought to Christ. It is for the church to make her appeal. In the evening Rev. Joseph Phillips, a local preacher brought the message. His text was "For as many as are led by the spirit of God they are the sons of God." The Ladies Auxiliary to the Trustees held a repair rally at the Lyceum at 'four o'clock. Representatives from many of the churches in the community came to contribute to the success of the effort. Rev. Beyton, pastor, of Pilgrim Baptist Church, preached a short sermon. Mrs. P. Coleman sang a contralto. Music for both services was rendered by the Epworth League choir. Miss Bowen was at the organ. Dr. John A. Diaz, director of the Diaz School of Personal Hygiene, will speak on public health at the Lyceum Sunday, July 29. St. Paul Bapt. Church Mrs. A. J. Ware's group had charge of the B. Y. P. U. Wednesday night, and she succeeded in getting out a goodly number of persons and a good program. The feature of the evening was the playing of a piano solo by little Miss Ware, who had just been baptized and taken into the church the Sunday preceding. Her baptism marked the last that will take place in that baptistry, as the church gives up that place the present week. There was great fervor in the Friday night's prayer service, as the news had gone out that it would be the last to be held in that church house. Sunday services, too, were unusually largely attended, as the people came with two things in mind—to know positively that the church is about to give up its old place and to ascertain where services are to be held for the next few weeks, unti' the new house of worship is completed. While several places are before the church in which to hold services for the time being, it has not been definitely decided which one will be taken. The church, however, will not be outdoors without any place to hold its services. There was some disappointment at the church not being able to remain and worship in the building until it could move into its new, building, but when it is considered that the church has had the privilege of worshiping in its old building for six months, practically free of all rent, after it received the full cash payment for its property, the church has much to be thankful for. Even as it is, it is not that the church is ordered to move, but the exorbitant charge for rental that is made the condition of remaining makes it necessary to move. Pastor Booker, with his faithful wife by his side, is spending his second year without vacation so far, in order that the affairs of the church may be settled. Wherever the church may hold its services for the next few Sundays, the fact remains that within a month's time the new building will be completed, and then the only things remaining will be the installing of pews, organ and light. Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church Preaching in the Fleet Street Church on Sunday morning, the pastor, Rev W. C. Brown lacked neither interest nor effective material for pulpit treatment. His sermon thrilled every chord of feeling, and invigorated while it beautified every faculty of the soul. A heavenly vision of heroism was told in a short story to the Sunday school audience at the close of the lesson study period by the pastor. To say that it was interesting, enjoyed and appreciated is but to express it mildly. The school is hopeful of gaining knowledge in a similar manner from the pastor at each session during the summer season. Rev Brown spoke briefly at the evening service. The annual baby contest is now in progress. The members are working earnestly to make it the desired success. The annual Sunday school outing to Pelham Bay Park will be held Thursday, August 16. Funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Burke, sister of Mrs W. C. Brown, were held Tuesday evening Mrs Brown, with other members of the family, accompanied the body to the southland for interment. Bridge St. A. M. E. Church "After the First Principles, What?" was the sermon topic of the pastor Dr. Edward F. Tytler Sunday morning. The text, Hebrews 6:1. Dr. Tyler declared that God is calling for Christianuen and women to quit foolish timetimes and render more service. He also stated that it is a good thing to get the first principles of religion, such as Jesus Christ, belief in God, heaven; but the real thing is to grow in grace, for without Christian growth we have not done much. When we have the first principles and go forward, growing in grace and always striving, to do the things that God will have us to do, we are on the right path that will lead to a unity of faith. Dr. Tyler compared some Christians with persons who venture into the water but cannot and will not learn to swim. They are not willing to leave the shore. Others have the perishables. TRENTON SCHOOL FOR DESIGNING AND DRESSMAKING, Inc. 31 MONTGOMERY PLACE, TRENTON, N. J. A Nice Three-Story Building with all improvements for Students Course completed in Four Weeks Enclose Stamp for Bank ST. AUGUSTINE'S COLLEGE RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA FOUNDED 1867 A four-year College Course is now being offered, including Pre-Medical and Teacher Training features. A College Preparatory Department, Training School for Nurses, and School for Religious and Social workers are connected with the College. Thorough training, healthy environment, Christian influences. THE material contrast between the structures with women (Booker T. W. Washington) began and the present great, ample and commodious use is sufficient to be such for one man to bring about. But the authority and accomplishment is imperfect measure of Dr. Washington's work and acumen. The education and annual training of out of two or three hundred youth, men and women to the highest and their family, of course, a must commendable and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he did and sought to do. His purpose was to radiate from a center like Tuskegee of the homely but the highest family for the best advance for his race, or for any race. WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, Chief Justice United States Supreme Court. THE TUSKEGEE NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE Founded by BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Offers Excellent Opportunities to Young Men and Women to Secure an Excellent Literary, and Normal Course, and a Course in Mechanical Industries, Women's Industries or Agriculture LOCATION UNSURPASSED FOR HEALTHFULNESS WRITE FOR CATALOG OF INFORMATION ROBERT R. MOTON, Principal Tuskegee Institute, Alabama words just know their Christian A-B-Cs, and go no further. We should remember that from the bishop, the clergyman, and other officers and ministers of the church, that all are just instruments, but one function, and that is the perfection of the saints. Over 1,000 people listened to the sermon with, rapt attention, and when the doors of the church were opened five persons joined. At the evening hour the Rt. Rev. Mervin Mossis, one of the newly elected bishops of the A-B-C church, who has been assigned to West Coast, Africa, was the preacher. He spoke from the text, St. John 10:10. He raised the question, "What is life and what is the more abundant life?" The bishop said that many seek the more abundant life in power, place wealth, honor, fame etc., but all of the is vanity. The real life and the life more abundant is in "Doing justly by all men; walking humbly before God, and loving mercy." He elaborated on these three points, and with his eldest daughter gripped the large congregation. Several "persons" joined the church. Tuesday evening there was a church conference, the purpose being the selection of one of two plans for the developing of a bigger and better Bridge Street Church, which was proposed by the pastor and officer of the church. After meeting an entertainment was held by the Nurses Unit of the church, of which Mrs. H. Martin is organizer and president. On Thursday the annual church and Sunday school outing to Huntington, L. I., was held. John D. Nixon, superintendent of the school, and the board of trustees, was head of the committee in charge of the affair. On Sunday, July 29, the first quarterly meeting of the conference year will be held. The new presiding elder, the Rev. George R. Coventry, will present the quarterly conference will be held. On Thursday, August 2, the closing exercises of the Daily Vacation Bible School will be held. Concord Baptist Church During the past week a small but interesting meeting of parents of boys and girls in the Daily Vacation Bible School was held, marking one step in the effort at cooperation between parent and teacher. Through the courtesy of the Reid Ice Cream Company about thirty junior boys and girls with their teachers took a trip through the factory and had some cream. This week, Wednesday, if the weather is clear the school has holiday, due to the Sunday school picnic. While the senior choir is on vacation, several solos, among the Mrs. Nadine Roberts Waters, Miss Josephine Muse and Mrs. Christine Caldwell, will sing at the services. John Cralle is at the organ during Prof. Caldwell's vacation. Detective Boyden is authority for the assertion that the letters themselves did not show the motive for the rash act. They were all notes of farewell to those she loved, and in the one to her mother she also gave instructions as to the rearing of her daughter. There are no words to describe the message of Miss Sarah Willimson at the Sunday evening service. Young, charming in personality, overflowing with enthusiasm, wise in experience, the speaker, who, from her childhood days had eyes turned toward Africa; poured out a tale of thrilling love. Educated at Hampton and Rochester, she went to Liberia THE under the direction of Doe East of the National Battalion Mission Board in 1984, took the work left by Miss Debbie carried it on until sent for to pay funds in this country. She also some civilized people dwell in the seaside cities, some children in school; but farther ones in the islandland children die of starvation with food all about them; where did sores with healing balm come by; witch doctors try to cause hard evil spirits with superstititions. The coated missionary comes to notice the babies, wash the sores, tell them "I have come to love you," they bring the way for Jesus to drive away evil spirits, to save body and soul. And if God does not get chance it is because some of us have forgotten. He asked us to "go" and to "sand." And so, Concord Church which is already, under the loyal and intelligent leadership of Rev. James B. Adams, paying the salary of Nurse Ruth Occomy in the hospice at Liberia gave to Miss Williams $102 for her work. Siloam Presbyterian The text for the morning hour of worship at Silaim was taken from the Gospel of St. Matthew 8:27. Rev. George Shlppen Stark, pastor, portrayed man's dominion over that forces of nature, of the wonderful times in which we are living today, and of how great our appreciation should be and of our greater obligation to God He brought out in his discourse that it was, more difficult to master the forces within us, to have power over human nature. Happiness is the goal to which our mankind attains. Jesus Christ came to teach how to control ourselves how to harness the power within us. Our need is to come back to Christ. Christ will save everybody. The infant of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Cummings was baptized at this morning hour of worship. The annual church picnic and owing is at Gerkin's Cypress Hill Park on Friday evening, August 10. A committee of ladies will serve refreshments. Music by Carl Brown's Orchestra. Row boat races will be open to all with prizes. The Daily Vacation Bible School will have its cosing exercises on Wednesday evening, August 1, with exhibition of handword done by the pupils. The sacrament of the Lord's SUPER will be, administered at the morning hour of worship the first Sunday in August. With the opening of the fall season many new activities will be taken on by the church, among them none greater than the beginning of the Day Nursery.

CUBAN STARS WIN 2 HECTIC GAMES FROM LINCOLNS Visitors Have Record Of 18 Straight Victor- ies. Since July 4 The Cuban Stars who haven't been defeated since July 4, won two hectic games from the Lincoln Giants at the Catholic Protection Dual Sunday afternoon, July 22. In the first game the Cubans used four pitchers and the Lincoln 3; the visitors won in the ninth inning by a score of 19-16. They won the second contest 6-5. In winning these two games, the Cubans chalked up a record of 18 straight victories. The Lincoln Giants pitching staff was a bit off form, and the visitors started the afternoon's work by hitting the offings of "Nip" Winters to all parts of the field. He was forced to retire in the fifth inning and Thomas the former Trenton High School pitcher, took the mound for three innings. Rector had to pitch the last inning. The Cubans were also hard put for pitchers. Oscar started the game, but before it was over, Brangaga, San and Juanello; had been on the mound. The heavy hitting included two home runs by Ome and other home runs by Ostar and Scales. In the second game, the Lincoln made three of their five runs by the home fun route Rector, Lewis and Spearman getting circuit elouts. But a bad first inning gave the visitors a lead the home team was unable to overcome. Another big attraction will be brought to this park next Sunday when the Bacharach Giants meet the Lincoln Giants in a double header. The Bacharachs have been going in championship style lately. A complete score of the second game was as follows: CUBAN STARS Ab r h po a Mierano, lf ..... 4 0 0 1 0 Merrera, 2b ..... 4 2 2 2 2 Omis, cf ..... 3 1 0 3 0 Bajn, lf ..... 3 2 2 0 0 In the Realm of Sport and the Theatre Prepare For Nat'l Champs Bordentown, N. J.—Gerald F. Norman, executive secretary of the American Tennis Association, the national body which controls tennis among Negro players, has just released the annual bulletin of the Association which contains the program of the national championships to be held August 20-25, 1928 at Bordentown, N. J. This event is by no means a new affair in New Jersey, for in 1925 Bordentown was once before the scene of this tournament when Ted Thompson of Washington, present holder of the men's national title, defeated Edgar Brown of Indianapolis in what was then a startling upset. In the same tournament, "Lou" Ballard of Philadelphia, then a seventeen year old high school girl, overcame Isadore Channels of Chicago to win the title which she also holds at present Other national champions who will defend their titles include Ted Thompson and Tally Holmes, perennial men's doubles champs, Louis Jones and Blanche Winston, mixed doubles monarchs, and Miss Ballard and Ora Washington, women's doubles champions. All these champions are favored to retain their titles, but they must wade through stern opposition to accomplish such a feat. In the path of Thompson toms the threatening figure of Eyre Saitch, dashing Adonis of the courts, once national champion and, three times runner-up, whose game this year shows a power and accuracy never before attained by the New York youth. New Jersey presents two strong contenders in the Worde brothers of Elizabeth, Kenneth and Solomon, while 'Downing of Virginia and Hudlin of St Louis are likewise to be considered. In the case of the women, it is hard to see how any player can hope to pass the tri-umvirate of Miss Ballard, Miss Washington and Miss Channels, any one of which might come through to the title Miss Washington is the winner of the recent New England Open held at New Haven, where Miss Ballard was defeated in the quarter finals by Mrs Gittens of New York. The junior title is again conceded to Douglass Turner, hard-hitting youth of Chicago, whose strong opponent will doubtless be Reggie Weir of New York City. Negro tennis fans find in these two lads their greatest reasons for hope that tennis among colored players will in the near future approach that of the world's outstanding players. Their form is correct; they are enjoying the advantages of expert coaching, and through their play on school and Solis. 3b ... 4 0 1 1 1 0 Fernand, c ... 4 0 3 5 2 0 Perez, 'lb ... 3 0 2 7 0 0 Milito, ss ... 3 0 0 2 2 0 San, p ... 3 0 0 0 2 0 Ab r h po a e Gray, rf ..... 3 1 0 3 1 0 Lloyd, 2b ..... 3 1 1 0 1 0 Riggins, 3b ..... 3 0 1 0 0 Scales, ss ..... 3 0 1 0 3 0 Mason, rf ..... 2 0 0 2 0 1 Lewis, lb ..... 3 1 1 9 1 0 Spearman, c ..... 3 1 1 2 0 0 Arnold, lf ..... 2 0 0 3 0 0 Rector, p ..... 3 1 1 1 0 0 *Winters ..... 1 0 0 0 0 0 25 5 5 21 11 1 * Winters batted for Arnold in the last inning.

THE NEW YORK AGE Brown and White Show At Lafayette Theatre About twice every year, the management of the Lafayette Theatre brings its patrons a welcome novelty in the form of a combination brown and white Revue—a company of colored and white performers who have toured the largest theatres of the country, presenting side by side, the best entertainment offered by both colored and white performers. Such a show will be presented at the Lafayette Theatre next week, opening July 30 Entertainer well known to audiences the country over will be included in the cast. The featdre picture for the week will be "Ladies Night In a Turkish Bath", the screen adaptation of the famous stage comedy-romance. Sam Manning Coming To Lafayette Sam Manning, comedian, journalist, song writer, and the most successful user of West Indian dialect on the stage, will be seen at the Lafayette Theatre in the near future at the head of a new musical comedy which he is rehearsing, and which is entitled "Keep Scuffling". Several noted entertainers will be included in the cast of the new musical comedy. Are you unconciously rubbing elbows with a royal princess? Princess Anastasia, once thought to have perished at the hands of the Eulsheviks, along with all the members of the royal house of Romanoff, is thought to have escaped and to be alive today. The story of what might have happened to Anastasia is told in "Clothes Make the Woman," the Tiffany-Stahl production bringing Eve Southern and Walter Pidgeon to the Roosevelt Theatre Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Miss Southern, of course plays the princess who finally lands in Hollywood seek employment in the studios as an extra. She goes to the Tiffany-Stahl studio where they are looking for someone who resembles Anastasia and she is selected for the role by the star, who is none other that the peasant who effected her escape. Then, in the fascinating atmosphere of a movie studio, where her tragic story is to be reenacted before the camera, an amazing drama and a pignant love story played. Charles Make the Woman" was written and directed by Tom Terris and the cast in support of Eve Southern and Walter Pidgemon includes Charles Byer, Adolph Milar, George E. Stone, Corliss Palmer, H. O. Pennell, Byron Sage and many others. "Hangman's House" At The Douglass Theatre Victor McLaglen, celebrated Fox Films player who is cast as Citizen Hogan in "Hangman's House," directed by John Ford, has the distinction of being the best all-around athlete in motion pictures. He has been a soldier, boxer, wrestler, general rostoubist and man of all trades is virtually every civilized country in the world. At one time he was repaired the best, o-fisted fighter in Canada and his list of opponents includes the formidable Jack Johnson when the Black Panther was in his hey-day. While all of McLaglen's roles have been of the fighting type, still they represent strikingly different characters. There is a wide gulf between his Captain Flagg in "What Price Glory," and his bull fighter in "Loves of Carmen" Equally striking was the difference in the characterization required between the faithful Irish giant in "Mother Machree" and the carefree sailor in "A Girl in Every Port."

June 22 to July 1, inclusive, under the direction of Scoutmaster W. H. Walcott; Assistant Scoutmasters Arthur P. Hayes and A. H. May. The attendance this year was much larger than last year, a total of thirty-one boys having gone from Tuskegee Institute, with an additional seven whose parents are connected with the 24th Infantry. A full, varied and interesting program was carried out each day. Every minute of every day found the boys actively occupied either in games or in some constructive feature of camp life. The boys were fortunate in receiving much of their instruction from some of the commissioned and noncommissioned officers of the Post, who taught them such subjects as map and compass reading, the study of trees, Indian sign language, first aid, life saving, tent pitching, target shooting, etc. Many of the boys became proficient along various lines and passed a number of tests, earning merit badges in quite a few of them. Despite their busy and intensive program, the boys had plenty of fun and enjoyed the days at camp immensely. Undoubtedly that which brought most joy to the kiddies was their visit three times a day to Mess Hall No 4, where they had plenty of the best Uncle.Sam had to offer. Not the least enjoyable were the visits of parents and friends from Tuskegee. These included Colonel and Mrs. Ward and daughter Mary; Mrs Warren Logan, Miss Catherine Roberts, A. Heningburg, J.

Every care was taken day by day, by the regimental and scout officials, to surround the boys with the most wholesome atmosphere and it was evident that not only they were helped, but the enlisted men with whom they came in contact received great benefit also. The ladies played an important part in filling the cup of enjoyment at camp. The boys were treated to an ice cream party by the Phyllis Wheatly Club after returning from a four mile hike on a hot afternoon. The camp closed Sunday, July 1, and after all had partaken of a sumptuous dinner, the party returned to Tuskegee Institute that afternoon. NOTICE!

But Mr. Johnson and his singers, enconced upon the platform, continued without pause or hesitation, and finished the first group, which was made up of "Ride on, Jesus!" "Steal away," "Hold On!" "Nobody knows de trouble I see" and "Ezekiel saw de wheel." And notwithstanding that the rain was steadily increasing in intensity, there were many hardy listeners who hoisted rain shades, or, in the absence of such shelter, turned up coat collars, and waited until the singers were through. The choir sang with distinction, notwithstanding that this was its novitate at outdoor singing. That group of female singers which he has assembled in his choir is one of outstanding quality. There is a depth and appeal of the most unusual quality in their combined utterance, and it is easily imagined that if they gave full scope to their vocal nowars the group of male singers would be overshadowed. This is not to say that the male section is not of first grade quality. There are individual voices of excellence, among them Tom Lee, a real bass profundo, Leslie Coles, tenor, Service Bell, baritone, and others, and this group did fine work in its rendering of "Nobody knows" and "Ezekiel saw" as male choruses. Mr. Johnson has absolute control over his singers, and they respond with sympathetic intelligence to his slightest indication. And so he has brought his women's voices into a modulated balance that coalesces with unusually stirring effect with the male sector, the result being an impressive rendition. The orchestral part of the program played by the Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra, under baton of William van Hoogstraten, consisted of five numbers, but only two were played, the tuneful and pleasing "Euryantha" Overture by Weber, and a modernistic, symbatic composition of weird and erie effects, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" by Dukes. These were played before Mr. Johnson's group appeared, and the orchestral musicians exhibited their interest in the singers by leaving the platform and seating themselves, almost to the last main, including van Hoogstraten, among the audience in the field seats. And when the first group of Spirituals had been sung, Mr. van Hoogstraten came forward and announced that, because of the rain, the orchestra could not conclude its program, but notwithstanding the rain, the choir would sing its other numbers. Then many of those who had sought shelter of the colonnades came down into the field, regardless of the rain, while others crowded up on the platform, and the singers sang on. The second programed group consisted of "Swing low, sweet charotet," "What kind of shoes you goin' to wear," "City called Heab'n," and "Religion is a fortune." By the time these numbers were given, the rain had stopped, and the crowd gathered around the platform enthusiastically demanded more and more of the-singing. Among other numbers given by Mr. Johnson and his choir were "Did you read that letter last night?" "You'd better mind" and "Great Day!" Among the soloists were Arthur Porter, Leslie Coles, Tom Lee, Service Bell, Mrs. Willie Mayes, Marguerite Avery, Gertrude DeVerney and others. All of the numbers were sung a capello, and they were snakingly true to pitch, with precision of attack, and given with vigorous enthusiasm or delicacy of utterance, according to mood of the song. So splendid was the impression made by the Negro singers that Arthur Judson, manager of the concerts, announced that they were being put on the program for Tuesday night, singing between the two programed orchateral numbers, Rimsky-Korsakoff's "Scheherade" and Tschaikowsky's "Fifth Symphony." And on this occasion, 12,000 people were wildly enthusiastic at the work of the Negro ensemble, which sang the nine numbers of Monday night's program in one group. Musical Art Forum of Orange, N. J., Closes Seventh Season With Interesting Program Orange, N. J.—An interesting program, unique in its makeup, featured the seventh annual closing, of the Musical Art Forum which holds weekly meetings each Sunday afternoon during the season in the Wilson Lamb Music Studio in the Metropolitan Building, 308 Main street Ih program, arranged by Mrs. Alice Russell Mischeaux, vice-president of the Forum, presented a "Costume Recital of the Nations," each number typifying a particular people, with the presenting artist dressed in an appropriate national costume. Another instructive feature was the notation given by Miss Russell, preceding each number, telling briefly of interesting characteristics of the country represented, or of the composer whose music was rendered as typical of his country. After the program proper had been rendered, Mme. Burnerdene Mason, secretary, gave an illuminating review of the work of the Forum during the past season, with a digent of the programs given each Sunday afternoon. The program with character represented, and musical number rendered, was as follows: 1 "Spring," Wilhelmina Young: "Tis Spring!"

The preciative audience demanded and received encores to each characterization. Following the program, members of the Forum served punch, ice cream and cake and salted nuts to the entire audience, and Professor Lamb presided, at a special table at which eight of his special guests were seated, including the Rev, Mr. Faust and wife, and Miss Simpson, a youth, Iberian girl, who graduated this June from Princess Ann Mademy, Maryland, and is now taking a course in stenography and typewriting.

M. Kerr is one of the race's most accomplished violinists. He is to arrive home on vacation on board the steamer de Grasse July 30. ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS BY PERCIVAL OUTRAM It is regrettable to have to announce the dissolution of the friendship and business relationship of Clarence Tisdale and James Lightfoot, banjoists and singers, which had existed to their mutual profit for upwards of seventen years, after whom reliable sources得知 seventeen years the Reisenweber interests asked Deacon Johnson to get or re-ask them to a singing and playing combination. This, we are informed, Deacon did and further to help the forming of the combination, Deacon allowed William Wilkinson to join in a combination sponsored by Deacon to join the newly formed group. This first formation of what afterwards became the famous Right Quintet was composed of the following members: J. Lightfoot, C. Tisdale, banjos; W. J. Loguen, cello; Leon Nidge, piano; Thomas, drums. They for some reason its own, the Right Quintet added added Pete Staples to the combination and went to work for Reisenweber, Jimmy Lightfoot being manager of the group. Afterwards, Egte Staples was separated from the combination. Year after year, the Right Quintet WILSON LAMB VOCAL STUDIO 105 W. 130th. ST. New York City FIRESTONE MACH Saturdays at 2 P. M.

FRANK HARRISON Baritone Concert Oratorio Recital Talladega College Talladega, Ala. THE NEW YORK AGE added new laurels to themselves and then blossomed forth as the best quintet of the country, filling engagements for the best and upper classes of patrons; who could well afford to pay the unusual fees charged by the Right Quintet, the patrons well knowing the high class enterants and their guests would be treated. At long intervals a change would occur in the personnel, but would soon be adequately filled, thus keeping the combination on the high plane-to which it was accustomed. Leon Adger, the original pianist, left the combination after six years of service, and has since that time served, several of Harlem's most prominent churches as organist; the grand Sonnist David spent a lot vaccine Adger in 1918, until his dethronement about three years ago, since when Russell Wooding has been pianist for the Right Quintet. All these years, Messrs. Lightfoot and Tisdale have been in accord, and the best of friends; even though it was alleged that two members of the company charged in terms for several years, which did not in any way effect the excellent work done by the combination. For six consecutive years, Lightfoot as manager had contracted and played the job at Villepigueux, Sheepshead Bay, Lightfoot being in Canada, Russell Wooding, pianist, maybe at the instigation or Tisdale, negotiated for the job. The Right Quintet was booked, assumedly, for the season as usual, after a few weeks of development of Lightfoot and Tisdale. The orchestra was served notice by the management to quit. After the two weeks' notice had expired, it is alleged that immediately came Tisdale on the job with a new group of men. Lightfoot filed charges against Tisdale for usurping On hearing of the case on Tuesday, July 17, the Trial Board is alleged to have tried inflectually to re-cement Tisdale and Lightfoot. But stubbornness and independence were the order of the day and they decided to go their separate ways. The Trial Board refused to render a decision in the case. The Trial Board asked the job at Villepigue's Inn, without union interference, Tisdale, it is alleged, claiming that he is paid separate and distinct from the orchestra, and is not its leader, merely occupying a position corresponding to a floorman. Working at Villepigue's Inn is Tisdale, Shrimp Jones, violin; W. Taylor, piano; Lee Langster, saxophone, and Dabney, drummer. These call themselves "The Warbirds." Lightfoot's "group includes Rusee Wooding, piano; W. Lequete, saxophone; Wilson, drums. All those were remained faithful to Lightfoot, as manager of the Right Quintet. All well wishers of colored musicians deplore the split between Lightfoot and Tisdale, whose voice and experience will be difficult to replace in the present formation of the group. But the more difficult will be the elformation of a group by Tisdale to equal that one he has left. Time is a wonderful healer and causes visualization which is denied impulsive anger. Let us all hope that Lightfoot and Tisdale together and define their excellent work in the ever-to-be-remembered Right Quintet. S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Meet With Union Bapt.

"It shows to the city of Birmingham and to the State of Alabama that the Negroes of this section just an asset and not a liability to the state. It shows they are working out their own problems right where they stand rather than running away from them; that they are, do terminated to vindicate their claims to 'a right to share in all of the opportunities and privileges of American citizenship right there in the city where we."

ALABAMA STATE SUMMER SCHOOL IN SECOND TERM Montgomery, Ala.—The 'opening week of the second term of the Ala- bama State Normal summer quartet ending July 21, was featured by the assembly lectures by Dr. Carter G.

He pointed out the necessity of research on the part of the Negro and stated that people who are the truth will stead of propaganda, men will become as brethren willing to die for the truth, humanity and God.

He writes: "Just a few lines to inform you of an incident which happened to me while receiving passengers at the Grand Central on Saturday morning, July 14. You may use your own judgment as to whether the incident is worth publishing. "I was receiving passengers for my car on train number 3. While in this act, a New York Central trainman, whom I have known for many years, but had not seen for some time, came over to where I was standing. We were conversing about old times when a woman passenger walked up to us and addressing me said: "Thought all you porters were going out on strike Friday? "I replied that I did not know of any strike." "Well," she said, we wish all you would go on strike. We would be very glad to get rid of all you. We people pay our fare and tip you besides. You have a good job but don't know it. Strike, so we can get rid of you." "The New York Central trainman, whose name is Cookie, will testify to the authenticity of the incident, for he was standing alongside of me during the dialogue. Now, what do you think of that?" Pointedly, as well as briefly, we don't think anything about it. To begin with, any passenger making any such expression, even though he or she felt, that way about Negrogo porters, doesn't merit serious attention. Then again, before thinking anything about it, we would have to better informed as to who the person referred in using the term "we". Who are the "we" who wish to be rid of the present Pullman porters? Taking the incident on its face, it is our idea that it was nothing more than the ravings of an irresponsible wagon. The incident is mentioned here, not because the column wishes to make any comment, one way or another, on the proposed strike among the porters. As Mr. Lancaster, secretary-treasurer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, reminded the editor of the column several months ago, this is a matter entirely up to the porters themselves. From the way in which they voted, the column has to agree with him, despite what its personal opinion in the matter might be. Therefore, this column has to interest in the if and when proposed porters' strike. One comment, however, the column will make: There is not much likelihood of the Negro porter being replaced on Pullman sleeping cars, no matter what else takes place. The Negro porter has proven his suitability for the work on these cars too saliently for the operator of these cars and the traveling public generally to wish any change. He might be supplanted in the parlor car, the club car and buffet car service, but in the operation of its sleeping cars, the Pullman Company will always have Negro porters, unless some unexpected drastic change takes place in both the Negro and the Pullman Company. No matter if there are a few prejudiced persons to be found here and there who envy the Negro the humble job of making down the berths, shining shoes, and executing the other duties of a Pullman car servitor, the probability of some other racial group replacing him entirely is most unlikely. In the parlor car and the club car service, that is another matter. In the latter service, he has already been displaced on certain railroads. The parlor car service, which is mostly popular in the East—sleeping cars being employed as parlor cars during the day in the West and the South,—is the easiest of the three types of service in which the Negro can be displaced without detracting from that service, said a Pullman employee recently. As a matter of fact, he asserted, that in Canada, it is rare, nowadays, to see Negro porters on parlor cars, other than those in the Pullman service. Speaking of that, he said, "The Negro porter, will always be a part of the Pullman service, but he will never have a monopoly of it as he once had." Pullihan Porters' Vets Association In First Stage The first move towards the formation of an association for veteran porters of the Pullman service was made on Sunday afternoon, July 22, when a group of retired Pullman porters, headed by William Jenkins, ten fifty years a porter in this service, and George L. Ford, recently retired, met at 68 Edgecombe avenue, this city, to formulate plans for the establishment of the organization. While the association is only in its embryonic stage, no definite course being mapped out as to how the proposed organization will function, the object, as stated by the leaders, was fully decided upon. This decision was that the association's character would be solely social and beneficial. Other features to be included in its operation have not been crystallized to the point where they can be announced, said the promoters. Mr. Ford, originator of the idea that retired Pullman porters should have an organization of their own, was delegated to secure the names and addresses of all retired porters in the New York, Penn Terminal and adjacent districts. After this has been done, retired porters in the other Pullman districts will be communicated with. In stating the object of the association to this reporter, Mr. Jenkins associate of Mr. Ford, said: "It is too early to prophesy at this time as to what success we will encounter in forming this organization, but the Pullman porter who intends to make the Pullman service his life vocation and cares to remain association with his former friends after he has been retired, can well afford to keep himself aloof from the movement. The leaders will essay no statement as to the benefit that we hope to realize from this movement, but it might be stated now that, with the proper support, the object in view can be obtained." Saturday, July 28, 1928 THINGS SEEN, HERE, AMONG POPERS, SAMBURY WISH PORTERS A veteran porter, who runs be the New York Central Lines, was which happened to him on Saturday, greeting passengers for his car writes: "Just a few lines to inform to me while receiving passengers morning, July 14.

Pointedly, as well as briefly, begin with, any passenger making he or she felt, that way about New attention. Then again, before the have to better informed as to what term we." Who are the "we" Pullman porters? Taking the incident on its face more than the ravings of an amrentioned here, not because the co one way or another, on the pro Mr. Lancaster, secretary-treasurer Porters, reminded the editor of it is a matter entirely up to the port which they voted, the column basis personal opinion in the matter no interest in the if and when pr One comment, however, the co likelihood of the Negro porter b cars, no matter what else takes his suitability for the work on theator of these cars and the travel change.

No matter if there are a few and there who envy the Negro the berths, shining shoes, and executive servitor, the probability of some is likely is most unlikely. In the parlor car and the club in the latter service, he has already roads. The parlor car service, with sleeping cars being employed as West and the South—is the ease in which the Negro can be displace, said a Pullman employee reverted, that, in Canada, it is rare, parlor cars, other than those in. Speaking of that, he said, "The part of the Pullman service, but he as he once had."

Goodman, field executive, Boy Scouts of America who conducts the "Phantom Boy Scouts" column in The Age, is no wat the summer Boy Scouts camp up near Tuxedo, N. Y., on Lake Kanohawahike, Orange County, and writes enthusiastically of the splendid camp conditions that prevail. He writes: "I have been up here in the Boy Scouts Camp since July I, and have become fairly well acclimated, to my duties. As a general survey of conditions I might say that our camp location and general treatment has not been one whit different than that afforder any other Scout unit. My camp staff is composed of Mr. H. Pope of Columbia; Mr. G. Stevens of the young men's group at the Y, and Mr. Coleman of Bates College, Mr. E. Wels and his son make u the kitchen staff. "I am very proud of the above group because they are not here primarily for the remuneration—that is small—but because they are interested in the boys of our group. "Between July 10 and August 13 we will be handling the largest group of the summer. Besides seeing to it that these boys have a splendid time. I am anxious to have as many folks as possible, from Harlem to see the possibilities of such a program. I think we have one of the best camp sites on the lake. Both Capt Beard, executive of Manhattan, and Mr. Keough, camp director, are anxious for as many folks to come up any Sunday and see what is being done. The Council is spending more money on our district, and especially camp, than any similar district in Manhattan. If we ever had a chance to establish ourselves, this appears to be it, and I am hoping and trusting that we will do so." New Yorkers who want to visit the Boy Scouts Camp, going by train will take the Erie at Hoboken, riding to Tuxedo, and their transfer to a bus that goes direct to the camp. Motorists will take the Fort Lee Ferry at foot of West 125th street, or drive up and cross the Bear Mountain Bridge, and then drive over the route marked "To Tuxedo," which will lead to the camp.

Tyler during the course of his sermon at Bridge Street Church Brooklyn, Sunday morning. He was referring to Bishop Reverdy C. Ramsom's praise of Governor Smith at St. James Presbyterian Church, Manhattan, on Sunday July 15.

Samuel Benjamin, Aoyelee Campbell, born 34 years ago, in Sierra Leone, West Africa, is here on tour in interest of work in Africa.

The report of Harlem boothacks to secure an amendment of the present State law, which requires the boothack stands to be closed on Sunday, to the end that patrons may have an opportunity of securing shoeshines on Sunday, has not met approval of the Lord's Day Alliance of New York State, with offices at 156 Fifth avenue, New York City. Section 2143 of the Penal Law provides a penalty for keeping open of shoeshine parlors in New York on Sunday, which law also covers barber shops. The Alliance, through its general secretary, John Perguson, makes a declaration of its attitude towards the proposed amendment, which was side-tracked in the last State Assembly by being referred to the Codes Committee, which did not report it out for consideration. The bootblacks assert that their work is not in the same classification as that of the barbers, since the latter are on duty day and night, with late hours on Saturday nights. The shoeshine parlors are mostly open only during the day, with new open at night, and the Sunday revenues, they claim, make up a major part of their weekly income. Demand Rest On Sunday But the Lord's Day Alliance cites the religious observance of the Sabbath as recognized institution, together with the natural law of rest and recreation and recovery from the fatigue entailed through six days of labor. The bootblacks belonging to the Union in The Bronx were the first to agitate in this matter, and they are calling upon fellow, bootblacks who have not affiliated with the union to join with them and so strengthen the move to secure relief in the matter. Complaints are being made by some of the uptown operators that the law is not being enforced equably in all-sections. They report that in other parts of the city bootjack stands are open on Sunday without any camouflage and without interference of any sort by the police. They are asking why it is that police in Harlem and The Bronx assume different attitudes in the matter of enforcing the Sunday observance law.
