Steam Roller' Methods Used By Leader Grenthal's Machine As He Is Designated Again For Assembly A majority of the Republican committeemen of the 19th Assembly District selected Abraham Grenthal as their choice for the State Assembly in the coming election after a bitter fight Monday night, August 6. VOL.41. No.48 Mr. Grenhal has completed four terms as Assemblyman from this district and he was told in no uncertain terms that the majority of the voters of the district felt that it was time he stepped down to give aspiring Negroes of the district an opportunity to represent themselves. The name of *Myles A. Paige*, a popular young lawyer, who was a candidate for the State Senate two years ago, was presented as a candidate to oppose the present incumbent. His*name* will be presented to the voters of the district on Primary Day, September 18, for them to decide whether or not they want a member of their race to represent them in the Assembly. Granthal - Was Worried. That Mr. Grenthal was worried at the outcome of the convention was evidenced by the manner in which it was conducted. Although scheduled for 8 p. m., the meeting was not called to order until 10 o'clock. All the white captains and county committees were rounded up by the leader and brought in to support him and all of the Negro committees were interrogated in advance as to how they were going to vote. To many who were waving or who expressed opposition to Mr. Grenthal, the possibility of getting some political position was held out as a hait, so that when the vote was finally taken, the present leader won by a count of 37—17. During the course of the meeting, steam roller tactics were constantly in evidence. As soon as Dr. Israel L. Feinberg had been appointed chairman, Michigan C. Brown made the motion that the courtesy of the floor be granted Alderman Fred R. Moore for a few minutes Mr. Feinberg, ruled, that this motion was out of order because the convention had not been fully organized. The chairman promised that Mr. Moore would be given permission to speak later, but he did not keen his word. Disregarded Her Pledge. Mr. Grenhal was placed in nomination by Miss Ruth Jones, a Negro woman, and his nomination was seconded by William Coriellius also colored, and by Mrs. Hattie Johnson, who ended her remarks with the words, "I am for Abraham Grenhal, right or wrong." The day before she had participated in a conference and pledged herself to vote for Mr. Paige. Mr. Paige was placed in nomination by E. M. Gillard and the nomination was seconded by Michigan C. Brown, clerk of the 7th District Municipal Court, and one of the most experienced politicians in Harlem Mr. Brown pointed to the changes that had taken place in the district under Mr. Grenhal's leadership and declared that Mr. Grenhal was responsible for the racial prejudice now rampant in the district. He also pointed out the fact that Mr. Grenhal is the district leader, the Assemblyman and State committeeman. He urged that the majority of the voters of the district he given representation in one of these positions. J. DeWitt Spencer also seconded the nomination of Myles Paige, and came out strongly for race leadership of the district. Changed Their Votes. An humorous turn was given the convention during the balloting when a number of colored committees, who had pledged themselves to vote for Mr. Pajfe, changed their vote to Grenhal. One of these persons, Deputy Attorney General T C A French, whose appointment to his present position was facilitated by Fred R. Moore, and whose law practice, is altogether with Negroes stayed outside on the clubhouse steps rather than take a stand on the question. Another was Dr. Julia P H Coleman, who had not only promised to vote for Mr. Paige, but had also promised to place his name in nomination or second it. When his name was called for a vote, she whispered the name of Grenthal. The Rev. Richard M. Bolden founder and pastor of the First Emmanuel Church, a Negro organization, was among those who voted in favor of Mr. Grenthal. It was estimated by a frequenter of the club that no less than a dozen of the votes recorded for Mr. Grenthal were fraudulent. He not only voted all civil service employees in his favor, but he permitted the voting of several of the white committeemen by proxy. The request had been made that the committeemen stand up when they voted, so that those tallying the vote could be sure the right party was voting. But this procedure was not carried out. Collector Anderson's Orders. It was also alleged that Collector Charles W. Anderson of the Third Internal Revenue District gave orders to all members of his staff, who are county committeemen in the 19th district, to vote for Mr. Grenthal as against a colored man. At conclusion of the meeting, Sidney Lewis told the committeemen that unless they supported Mr. Grenthal, the regular nominee, they were not loyal. Republicans and should get out of the party. Mr. Lewis also said that he did not believe the Negroes were entitled to the office of Assemblyman Mr. Gilliard and several of those who had supported Mr. Paige pointed out that it was not disloyal to engage in a primary fight. Mr. Paige assured his supporters and the audience that he would not be intimidated and that the fight would continue through the primaries.

Alderman John Clifford Hawkins Will Not Make The Race For Party Primary Nomination For Congress In a letter to Republican Leader Robert S. Conklin of the 21st Assembly District, New York City, released to the press on August 3, Alderman John Clifford Hawkins of the 21st Aldermanic District refused to accept the recent tender of a designation as Republican candidate for the U. S. Congress from the 21st Congressional District, New York City. The designation was made at a meeting of the Republican leaders from the five Assembly Districts which comprise the congressional district, held Monday night, July 30, the districts represented being the 13th, 19th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd. The naming of Alderman Hawkins followed upon a strong insistence that the Negro's voting strength in this district entitles him to the congressional nomination I believe that in view of the fact that I have been recently elected to the office of Alderman from the Twenty-first Aldermanic District, for a term of two years, only seven months of which have been served. I should be relieved from the candidacy for the position of Congressman at this time, and that some other colored man who is qualified to be a candidate for Conklin Reasons For Selling. Although other names were considered by the leaders, it was believed that Mr. Hawkins, who prior to being elected to the Aldermanic Board, had been a member of the State Assembly from the 21st A.D., would be the strongest candidate and the one most capable of a successful campaign. Incidentally, it is reported, there was notmng to indicate the possibility of a declination of the offer by Mr. Hawkins. However, according to his letter to Mr. Conklin, the designee gives three reasons for declining His election to the Board of Aldermen, with one year, five months more to serve; inability to finance a congressional campaign; embarrassment at having the campaign financed for him by the party. Dr. Wm. P. Haves Endorsed. Mr. Hawkins' withdrawal left the field open, and these were several prospective 'candidates', the most prominent, perhaps being the Rev Wm. P. Hayes, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, who has been endorsed by the 21st A. D. Republicans to take Mr. Hawkins' place. The committee named to fill vacancies, with William McGruder as chairman, and Mrs. Margaret A. Sealy and Mortimer Kraus as members, will probably accept Dr Hayes as the candidate for nomination at the primaries on September 18. Other candidates considered were James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., who declined because of its health, and the Rev Dr. A Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, who refused to consider it, declaring that as lifetime pastor, his church work was too important to permit him to give time to any other duties. The following is the text of Mr. Hawkins' letter to Leader Conklin, making known his decision not to accept the designation. Text of Letter. August 1st, 1928. Hon. Robert S. Conklin, 34 Pine Street, New York City. My dear Mr. Conklin: Since my interview with you last evening, I have thoroughly considered the proposition of my designation as Republican candidate for the high office of member of Congress from the Twenty-first Congressional District. I want you and the other District Leaders concerned to know that I fully appreciate the high honor which you have bestowed upon me and for which I offer my sincere thanks. I consider this office one of the highest offices within the gift of the people. I believe that of all Legislative bodies in the United States, the House of Representatives at Washington is the one body in which there should be a Negro member. I appreciate the fact that within the judgment of the Committee, I was deemed qualified to fill such a high office. Gives His Reasons. After thorough consideration of the many requirements tantamount to a successful election, and note withstanding my willingness to do everything I can to the end that the Republican Party may, be successful in the coming election. I find it impossible for the following reasons to take up the burden at this time: NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY, AUGUST 11,1928 I believe that in view of the Tact that I have been recently elected to the office of Alderman from the Twenty-first Aldermanic District, for a term of two years, only sevent months of which have been served. I should be relieved from the candidacy for the position of Congressman at this time, and that some other colored man who is qualified to be a candidate for Congress and who would command the respect of the electorate should be offered this nomination. 2. I am at this time unable to finance so stupendous a proposition as a campaign for Congress. Since I am financially unable to prosecute an aggressive campaign which is the only campaign that would be successful, I would be embarrassed if it were financed for me. For the above reasons I am unable to accept the designation for Congress at this time, and I ask that the Party release me from such a proposition. I want, however, to go on record as being heartily in favor of a colored candidate for Congress as I am convinced that the best interest of the Republican Party will be served by so doing. Yours for Party success. JOHN CLIFFORD HAWKINS. An Independent Candidate. In a 2,200 word statement, issued August 3, Attorney Louis A. Lavelle announces his definite independent candidacy for nomination as the congressional candidate from the 21st Congressional District. In his lengthy communication, Mr. Lavelle declares he has been fighting for elective representation for the races since 1910, and that in 1920 he was defeated by former Congressman Martin Ansorge by a very small margin of the total primary vote cast. Mr. Lavelle makes an appeal to "the hundreds of persons who have requested and urged me to make the race for Republican party nomination for, Congress" assuring them that "Yes, I am a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress . . . and earnestly solicit the Republican enrolled voters' support."

Watt Terry, Harlem's Biggest Realtor, Now Owns $3,000,000 Worth Of Property In New York Acquired Holdings During Past 18 Years, No Deals Made Except For Own Companies; Has Not Confined His Activities To Harlem By WILLIAM E. CLARK By comparison with his position in the business world fifteen or twenty years ago, the Negro in New York has made remarkable progress. Building, plumbing and electrical contractors, truckmen, retail grocers, butchers, dressmakers, hairdressers, milliners, etc., are some of the lines the Negro has entered in Harlem and is successfully competing. Then there are the real estate men, whose pioneering is in a large measure responsible for the superior housing the Negroes of Harlem enjoy over members of their race in other large cities. Is Wealthiest Realtor One of these real estate men, Watt Terry, is now the wealthiest citizen of this group, and their largest, owner of real estate in New York. Mr. Terry's palatial offices occupy the entire second floor of the building at the northwest corner of 139th street and Seventh avenue. One would never be led to suspect that this suite of offices were those of a Negro from their outward appearance, for they are minus the usual overcrowded and untidy appearance associated with the average office of Negro business men. In the first place there is plenty of room—Mr. Terry has a private office fitted up with mahogany furniture, Persian fugs, etc. Then there is a conference room, an office for the cashier, agents and book keepers, and a waiting room. $3,000,000 In Realty Mr. Terry has in the past 18 years purchased real estate in New York and Massachusetts to the value of more than $3,000,000. And unlike most real estate brokers, he does not handle property for other people. All the purchases he has made are for the four corporations in which Mr. Terry owns all the stock—The Terry Holding Company, the Fifty Percent Profit Sharing Company, the Brockton Realty Corporation, and the Oak Bluffs, Holding Corporation. Mr. Terry is a man of little formal training. I don't think he completed a high school course but he is nevertheless, one of our keenest business men. In addition he possesses vision rarely found in college graduates. When the Negro migration to Harlem 'had about reached its peak and had begun to sushide, Mr. Terry realized that business would become dull for those brokers who confined themselves to the Harlem territory. So he quietly began expanding his activities until now he owns property in many white sections of the city. It may be that he will one day become the landlord for more white people than he is now for members of his own race—and at least 2,000 people occupy the houses he owns in Harlem. Mr. Terry's Personality In personal appearance, the subject of this sketch reminds one of a high school teacher. He is a chocolate brown complexion, slightly above the average height, and always has a twinkle in his black eyes. He does not look to be over 40 years of age, but is a hit older. In habit he is quiet and unobtrusive. Business is his hobby and he is seldom seen at the many social functions of the metropolitan district, nor is he keen on the theatre and the night life of the city. He has a beautiful home in the exclusive section of Convent avenue, bordering the College of the City of New York, and maintains a fine home in Brockton, Mass, where the Terryrs before moving to New York. He has a beautiful summer home on the waterfront at Oak Bluff, Mass., where Mrs. Terry and other members of their household spend their summers. Mr. Terry spends his weekends in Massachusetts, but was not found time to take a long vacation. He is in a position to take things easy and let his large and capable staff of assistants handle his business, but instead of thinking of retiring he is daily expanding his interests and making plans to in- his position in the business ears ago, the Negro in New table progress. Building, contractors, truckmen, retail makers, hairdressers, millin- nes the Negro has entered fully competing. TRIPLE MILLIONAIRE WATT TERRY Of Brocton, Mass., and New York City, Founder Terry Holding Co. crease the economic stability of the Negro in New York. He is treasurer and one of the moving spirits in organizing the New York Business League, which will he host to the National Negro Business League in Harlem next week. Citizens Endorse Edward A. Johnson To Run For Congress A group of Republicans of the 19th Assembly District, headed by Samuel F Hollman, president of the Herbert C Hoover Colored Republican League, with headquarters at 108 West 132nd street, are active in a movement to promote the candidacy for Congress from the 21st Congressional District of former Assemblyman Edward A. Johnson. Petitions to this effect have been presented to the party leaders in the district, and these petitions carry signatures of men and women in every walk of life—lawyers, merchants, doctors, ministers, social workers and others. "It is argued by Mr. Johnson's supporters that his designation as a candidate for the nomination would mean increasing the present Negro Republican registration from its present number, about 32,000, to at least 125,000. And it is asserted that Mr. Johnson can unite colored Harlem behind Hoover and the entire Republican State and County ticket.

Mrs. Booze Denies Discrimination By National Committee Washington, D.C.-Statements that she has been discriminated against as a member of the Republican National Committee were denied at Republican headquarters by Mrs Mary C. Booze, National Committeewoman from Mississippi. Mrs Booze stated that newspaper stories which represented that she had been excluded from a luncheon given by Mrs Alwn, T. Hert vice-chairman of the National Committee, and from the official photograph of National Committeewomen, were absolutely untrue. "Had such been the case no one would have more quickly resented it than I, but the facts are quite the contrary. It is alleged that I was not present at the luncheon or when the official photograph was taken. "I would have attended the luncheon had I not made a previous engagement, and as to the photograph, I was not only invited, but urged, and the best proof that I was present is to be found in the photograph which was published, in the daily papers throughout the country. "During my service on the National Committee I have received nothing but the most courteous and kindly treatment from Mrs. Hert and the other members of the committee. Cedered Man Viciously Assailed and Forced From Train, and White Man Who Protests Is Attacked As Policeman Appears A story of wanton, unbridled brutality has been told to the Age by a well-known woman social worker, prominent in church work in New York and New Jersey, which tells of the brutal actions of two burly, husky men who called themselves "Trish Catholics," and who were garbed in the uniform of the United States Navy. "The scene of the story is laid on a local subway train of the I R. T., a 137th street train running south, on Sunday evening, July 29, at about 10.45 o'clock, and the principal characters were the two sailors referred to, and a long colored man, decent appearance, well bred and nicely dressed. is being injustly treated," said the civilian. "Well, you get off at the next station and we will give you some of the same medicine we gave the nigger," said they, and as the train pulled into the station the men got off, pushing the white man in front of them. On A Broadway Local According to The Age's informant, the social worker boarded an L train at 135th street, after attending a service at St. Mark's M. E. Church, 138th street and Edgorembe avenue, but because of a serious wreck on the 9th Avenue Elevated line near 59th street, passengers were debarred from the train at 93rd street and to walk over to Broadway, two blocks, and take a southbound subway to the first street done and these transferred passengers found the two sailors on board the train. The story tells of the actions of the two sailors on the train, of which they seemed to have taken control, and of the seeming supine acquiescence of the train guard or conductor. At the next station, 86th street, the colored man boarded the train. The crowded conditions had separated the social worker and her 15-year old daughter, and in the shifting of passengers the colored man had to hone his twin mother and child. Incidentally, both are of a complication that prevents any casual racial identification. At sight of the colored man, the two sailors seemed to go into a rage. The taller one demanded. The taller one demanded. You get to see this trait. You belong down in Alabaster." The colored man paid no attention to the remark. Assaulted Nogro Passenger. Then the shortest of the two pushed into a seat next the man and said, "You have a nerve to sit down here among white people," and without warning, struck the man a terrific blow on the jaw. There came a gush of blood from the mack's mouth and almost instantly there appeared a huge lump on his chin. To all appearances, the sailor had used brass knuckles. The victim, evidently cowed, sat and said nothing. Then the tailor sailor swung over him, delivering the ultimatum: "At the next stop you get out." The next station, as the poor owl stumbling made his way to the door, the two gallant tails grabbed him and threw him out the door. At the same instant, another colored man was seen entering the train, and the two valliant marines rushed to the entrance he was up and going. No one can ride this train with Irish Catholics." The closing of the train doors ended this incident. But as the train continued South, the social worker who told the story, went to the train guard and afforded the defenseless Negro. Before any reply could be gotten, the two sailors came up and demanded her identity. She replied that she is a social worker. "Well lady," said one of the men, "I am the mugger ride on this train with us, Irish Catholics." Assailed White Man. This phrase, she declares, was used several times by the men. And she declares emphatically that the men did not seem to have been drinking. Then a white man passenger came, up and asked the sailors as to what ship they were attached to. They told him. Then the man said, "You are two pretty tough fellows to be acting this way, on a subway train." Back flashed the question, "Are you taking up for a nigger?" "I am taking up for any man who Don't Forget!!! On Your Vacation HAVE The New York Age FOLLOW YOU 1 month ..... 25c 2 months ..... 50c 3 months ..... 75c Send all orders with check or money order to Subscription Department THE NEW YORK AGE 230 West 135th Street New York, N. Y. is being injustly treated," said the civilian. "Well, you get off at the next station, and we will give you some of the medical medicine, and give you the light," said he as he train pulled into the station the men got off, pushing the white man in front of them. But as they started a brutal attack on him, they caught sight of, the train, and they pulled through the gates to the train, so they desisted and returned on board the train. As the officer reached the train the social worker, approached him to inform him of the brutal occurrence, and the two sailors nearly closed back doors to the platform. The Guard Meant To Act. And as the train rolled on its southward journey, the train guard came up to the woman and said, "Well, lady, them two fellows got out at that station and they took them off at the next stop but they saved me the trouble." The policeman opened up a paper and started to read, regardless alike of the attempted assault, and of the meaningful remarks of the trainman to the passenger. For good and sufficient reasons, the name of The Ages's informant, is wibbled from publication. She states that of the same ilk as the two rampaging sailors and she fears personal reprisals.

Headquarters Dedicated. From the corners of the Nation the women gathered for the great occasion. Young women, younger women, youngest women: for the very essence of the nature of the women they render keeps them all youthful and their concession to it — which is son why they redeemed the home of Frederick Douglas, then spent $2,000. to erect a caretaker's cottage on the premises, and now are engaged in paying for the national headquarters dedicated here at 12th and O streets, northwest. And they will pay for it—because they will to do so; they have demonstrated the truthfulness, of the maxim—the will finds the way." Even the god of humidity, which ranks high among Washington's gods and goddesses, kept his storehouse of humid weather well sealed until Friday; and even then the god of deterred federationists fanned right along while, business like, they strictly attended to business. Many Able Women. Headed by the competent Mary McLeod Bethune of Daytona, Florida, and everywhere; flanked on every side by such stalwarts as Maggie L.

Mrs. Bethune is without a peer as an impartial presiding officer. She permits no "rocking of the boat." The public speakers were there to talk about something, not somebody. Monday evening's meeting was addressed by John R. Hawkins, financial secretary A. M. E. Church recently appointed chairman of the executive committee of management of activities among colored voters in behalf of the Republican nominees, and J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted fuler of the Elks. Tuesday's meetings' speakers were programmed to be Dr. R. M. Dr., Principal of Tuskegee, and William Pickens of the N. A. A. C. P. Pickens' Obviousness Dr Moton had given ample premise, Mrs Bethune said, that he would not be able to appear. She then introduced Mr. Pickens, who began by saying that he had expected to be able to follow Dr. Moton for 20 minutes—the time allotted the speakers. The statement of the statement was not lost upon the audience, which was almost at one in the conclusion that Mr. Pickens failure to come up to this usual platform standard on the occasion was due to his obvious intent to predicate his address on what Dr. Moton might have said. When he again mentioned Dr. Moton by name during his address, Mrs Bethune who was taking in Mrs. Pickens went back to Frederick Douglass. After speaking for 45 minutes, Mrs Bethune Pickens in the midst of an onslaught on one of the Presidential candidates, and went on with the program. On another occasion, after the Republican National Committee-woman for the District of Columbia had made a partisan, political plea, Mrs. Bethune asked if anyone present wanted to make a speech to the party at the POTUS conference is politically non-partisan, and she wanted to at least equalize matters. Forasmuch as 'denunciation of Governmental segregation is not political, both Easley Wilson on Monday evening, and Neval Thomas on Thursday morning, were permitted to vigorously denounce the practice, and both were heartily and sustainedly cheered. Partisan politics, nevertheless, was stricty taboo. All speakers on Friday evening were Dr. Emmette J. Scott, secretary treasurer, Howard University, and Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson of the Elk. To Col. Young's Grave. Friday morning the delegates visited the graves of Col. Charles Young, Major O. J. W. Scott, and another of Unknown Soldier in "internment" in Washington. There was literal politics in the conduci of the National Federation's election of officers. Nominations were by primary—ballots and all—in the morning. Election beheld on Friday until next afternoon. Mrs. Bethune, who served two terms as president, was not a candidate for re-election, and is succeeded by Mrs. Sallie W. Stewart of Indiana. After print contests Charlotte Hawkins, Brown finally elected to be first, vice president. Efforts to revive a jurisdictional contest disposed of at the last biennial convention at Los Angeles were rendered abortive. The contest was between two locals in the city of Guatemala. The National Permanent Association allowed one Federation per State, and each of the two Washington locals wanted to be it. Ruling with an iron hand President Bethune enforced the Decree of the national organization, as do the Federal Courts, that the District of Columbia is not a State, and therefore, both District of Columbia local will be received by the local long term meets the obligation and requirements imposed on local organizations. It was said that Mrs. Bethune was greatly perturbed by reports of discourtesy to members and officers of the Federation published in daily newspaper, which she is reported to have categorically denied. Mrs. Bethune Urges Expansion. (Bv ANP) As she laid down her gavel, "with the same dignity as she picked it up four years ago," Mrs. Mary McLoehd Bethune, retiring president, welcomed her ship for four years fraught with accomplishments and advancement and suggested a program which would mean further expansion and more effective work of the organization. Cutting out the program which was adopted four years ago at Chicago; and again approved at Los Angeles, Mrs. Bethune outlined how that program had been prosecuted to the letter and the effect it had had upon the general prosecution of the 32nd birthday here this year, in the city of its birth. Get National Headquarters. Most conspicuous among the many accomplishments, according to Mrs. Betheme's report, is the establishment of national headquarters. The organization authorized 200,000 employees to pursue it through the business sagacity of those selected by the president to select the site.

Under Mrs. Bethune's administration the membership has been increased, new departments added, and a scholarship fund initiated. In suggesting a program for the future, Mrs. Bethune urged that the scholarship fund be pushed to-complete in a systematic manner and "that the fund begin to operate immediately." Thanks Negro Press. She further advocated the appointment of efficient organizers to visit the various local, state and regional organizations and perfect the organization and that "we exert our ability to make the quality that has been given our work through the Negro press and that we pledge them our continued and larger support and cooperation." A financial program was also suggested which would make the national and its various branches on the ground. Mrs. Bethune was presented to the audience at Armstrong's High School, Monday evening, July 27, by Mrs. Mary H. Wingate, president of the Women's Relief Corps, who praised the work of the association and for the manner in which it had cooperated with other women with the support of Mrs. Bethune with a large bouquet of flowers. Roster of Officers Mrs. Sallie W. Stewart of Evansville, Ind., was elected president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs by a unanimous vote. The newly elected president has been active in the affairs of the association for a number of years and her election was almost a foregone conclusion long before the election she held.

The seizure must have rendered him speechless, as his mates did, not hear any call for help. At the spot where his body went down the water is about twelve feet deep. Mr. Beasley was seen to sink three times, without any struggle that indicated need of help. When his friends finally realized that he was going down for the third time their efforts to reach, him was unavailing. The body was recovered after a search of about forty-five minutes.

Companies Draw Color Line Philadelphia, Pa.—The organization of the, Lincoln Motor Club, Morton Schumacher, president, and efforts by its executives to secure auto insurance policies from a reputable company has led to discovery of a condition which they class as "almost unbelievable," in that not one insurance company could be found that was willing to insure automobiles owned by color titans. In a letter to Matthew H. Taggert, insurance commissioner, State of Pennsylvania, President Schumacher declared that the casualty insurance companies doing business in Pennsylvania" have drawn the color line in the insurance of liability and other automobile coverage, thus denying to upward of 200,000 colored motorists in the State the protection afforded to white motorists." Called "Extra Hazardous" Continuing, the motor club official stated that when efforts were made to obtain insurance for club members, the casualty companies "rejected all overtures with vague excuses, such as 'extra hazardous' and 'bad risks'." The letter, pointed out that "in no instance could any casualty company produce figurres to show that the colored driver is a greater risk...despite all the resources for investigation AGAIN MUST SALI Able to Offer Values in Better Furniture Equate Description of Merchandise Should Be IN PLEASE.

The failure of insurance companies to issue policies to colored automobile owners is shown to be an injustice to the whole public, since it deprives all other drivers of the protection in case of a driver involving an uninsured car to which all drivers are entitled. And it is further asserted that any white owner, regardless of his record, can obtain insurance, and this obtains even though one company may have cancelled his policy for good reasons. "It is a sad commentary," said the letter, "on twentieth century civilization when prejudice is allowed to stand in the way of accomplishment of a work never more needed," referring to highway safety, characterized as a cardinal principle in organization of the Lincoln Motor Club Commissioner Taggart is requested to do two things. 1.

HOOVER CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR The announcement made last week by the chairman Hubert Work, of the appointment of a Colored Voters Division of the republican National committee, to direct the Hoover-Curtis campaign, was notable for several reasons. The appointment of two assistants to promote support among the colored voters of the country is not new thing, but this present corps of directors is different in class and character from previous appointments of this sort. Chairman Work aptly said, "this committee is composed of leaders of thought and opinion, representing their business, professional, religious and educational life." The character of the committee is appropriately indicated by the names of the officers who head it. John R. Hawkinson of Washington, who seconded Mr. Hoover's nomination at Kansas City, is chairman of the executive committee, with Silbon R. Holsey, secretary of Tuskegee Institute and of the National Negro Business League, as secretary. Among the other members are State Senator Roberts of Chicago, John E. Nail of New York, Robert R. Church of Memphis, Mrs. A. W. Hunton of New York, Dr. Emmanuel Scott of Howard University, Robert V. Vann of Pittsburgh is head of the Publicity Committee with W. T. A. Andrews of Baltimore as vice chairman. The Organization Committee will have its eastern bureau in New York, with Fr. E. Moore as chairman, and Ernest T. A. Well of Philadelphia as general field organizer. There will also be an advisory committee of two hundred, with Hon. Charles W. Anderson of New York as chairman, and Scipio A. Jones of Little Rock as vice chairman. Among the outstanding work in serving in various key capacities in the organization are Mrs. Mary M. Bethune of Dayton, Fla.; Mrs. Daisy Lampkin of Pittsburgh, Mrs. Salle Stewart of Evanville, Ind.; Mrs. Mary C. Booze of Moulton Bayou, Miss.; Miss Nannie H. Hueough of the District of Columbia, Mrs. George S. Williams of Savannah, Miss Hallie Q. Brown of Wilberforce and Mrs. Lethia Fleming of Cleveland. Chairman Hawkins said that a spiritual campaign would be launched immediately the program of which will give an effective voice to the rank and file of the race it is especially designed to bring home, every colored man and woman that the republican party is our party, "conceive liberty and freedom and dedicated to the task of improving our civic and political status." He urged that we must do our part in furthering its success, as well as shaping its policies to fit the common needs of our race and our country. With a staff of campaign directors, the class and calibre of those here presented, the issues of the campaign should be carried direct to the voters, so that they may be aroused to vote understandably. It will be noted that in addition to the new blood injected into the direction of the campaign, enough of the veterans of politics have been trained, either in an active or advisory capacity, to secure the benefit of their experience and wisdom in the ways of giving the ballots safely garnered in the right columns. The Hoover campaign among the Negro voters appears to have started off in the right footing. These voters are to be accorded the fullest representation in the conduct of the campaign. There are no longer to be treated as children but are regarded as an important factor in party success. London Office: Gortingine's Agency, No. 17 Green Street, Leicester Square, London, W. C. 2.

The announcement made last week by Chairman Hubert Work, of the appointment of a Colored Voters Division of the Republican National committee, to direct the Hoover-Curtis campaign, was notable for several reasons. The appointment of such assistants to promote support among the colored voters of the country is no new thing, but this present corps of directors is different in class and character from previous appointments of this sort. As Chairman Work aptly said, "this committee is composed of leaders of thought and opinion, representing their business, professional, religious and educational life." The character of the committee is appropriately indicated by the names of the officers who head it. John R. Hawkins of Washington, who seconded Mr. Hoover's nomination at Kansas City, is chairman of the executive committee, with Albon R. Holsey, secretary of Tuskegee Institute and of the National Negro Business League, as secretary. Among the other members are State Senator Roberts of Chicago. John E. Nail of New York, Robert R. Church of Memphis, Mrs. A. W. Hunton of New York and Dr. Emmett J. Scott of Howard University. Robert L. Vann of Pittsburgh is head of the Publicity Committee with W. T. Andrews of Baltimore as vice chairman. The Organization Committee will have its Eastern bureau in New York, with Fred R. Moore as chairman, and Ecnest T. Attwell of Philadelphia as general field organizer. There will also be an advisory committee of two hundred, with Hon. Charles W. Anderson of New York as chairman and Scipio A. Jones of Little Rock as vice chairman. Among the outstanding women serving in various key capacities in the organization are Mrs. Mary M. Bethune of Dayton, Fla.; Mrs. Daisy Lampkin of Pittsburgh, Mrs. Sallie Stewart of Evansville, Ind.; Mrs. Mary C. Booze of Mound Bayou, Miss.; Miss Nannie H. Burroughs of the District of Columbia, Mrs. George S. Williams of Savannah, Ga.; Miss Hallie Q. Brown of Wilberforce and Mrs. Lethia Fleming of Cleveland. Chairman Hawkins said that a spirited campaign would be launched immediately, the program of which will give an effective voice to the rank and file of the race. It is especially designed to bring home to every colored man and woman that the Republican party is our party, "conceived in liberty and freedom and dedicated to the task of improving our civic and political status." He urged that we must do our part in furthering its success, as well as shaping its policies to fit the common needs of our race and our country. With a staff of campaign directors of the class and calibre of those here presented, the issues of the campaign should be carried direct to the voters, so that they may be aroused to vote understandingly. It, will be noted that in addition to the new blood injected into the direction of the campaign, enough of the tested veterans of politics have been retained, either in an active or advisory capacity, to secure the benefit of their experience and wisdom in the ways of getting the ballots safely garnered in the right columns. The Hoover campaign among the Negro voters appears to have started off on the right footing. These voters are to be accorded the fullest representation in the conduct of the campaign. They are no longer to be treated as children, but are regarded as an important factor in party success. DESIGNATION FOR CONGRESS. The action of the Republican party leaders in the Twenty-first Congressional District, in designating a member' of the Nine No race as the regular Republican candidate for nomination to Congress in the September primaries, is taken as a measure of political recognition. It is greatly be regretted that Alderman John Clifford Hawkins, upon whom the choice fell, found it impossible to take up the garden at this time. The reasons assign for his deposition appear weak to us. The action of the Republican party leaders in the Twenty-first Congressional District, in designating a member' of the Negro race as the regular Republican candidate for nomination to Congress in the September primaries, is taken as a measure of political recognition. It is greatly to be regretted that Alderman John Clifford Hawkins, upon whom the choice first fell, found it impossible to take up the burden at this time. The reasons assigned for his declaration appear weak to us. as Mr. Hawkins could have made the contest without giving up his post as Alderman. As to financing his campaign, that should not be considered a personal matter, but rather the duty of the party and of the race. In considering this matter of running a candidate of the race for Congress, it must be conceded that the question of color is but a subsidiary element. The Congress district is composed of sixty-five per cent of white voters. It is therefore clear that in order to be elected to Congress, the successful candidate must obtain a portion of these votes, in addition to those of his own race, with the normal condition of only two candidates in the running. Given the regular Republican nomination, the candidate, irrespective of his color, must command a majority of the votes in the district. The trouble has been so far, that among white Republicans are to be found a large number of narrow gauged individuals, who would sooner vote for a white Democrat than a black Republican. There is need to educate this class of voters so that they might become broad enough to ignore color and vote for the regular nominee of the party on the ground of fitness and capacity, as well as the appeal to party regularity. With a candidate like Mr. Hawkins, possessing a record of service in the legislature and the aldermanic board, such appeal would have been strong. The final choice of Dr. William P. Hayes. The popular pastor of one of the largest churches in Harlem, to make the race, is beyond criticism on the ground of character and ability. His record in the ministry has been one of constructive Christian work, marked by a thoroughly human understanding of his people and the needs of the community. It is one of the strongest selections possible to be made from the ranks of the Harlem pastorate. In order to justify this choice and to bring out the fullest possible vote for the nominee in the primaries, it absolutely essential that the members of the race race should come out and vote. It is also necessary that the strong points of the candidate should be emphasized and made known to the voters of the district. The designation of a candidate for the regular nomination in the primaries is only the first step towards his election. This matter of selecting a representative of the race to Congress from a Harlem district is too serious to be hungled by too many false steps at the outset. Dr. Hayes is too good material for Congress to be sacrificed because of the prejudice of marrow-gauged voters and selfish politicians. His campaign for the nomination should be prosecuted with asal and carnestness, in a genuine attempt to convince the voters of his merits as a candidate. --- PIGGLY WIGGLY POLITICS. The recent Democratic primary campaign in Tennessee was marked by a series of political advertisements or proclamations, published in the Memphis Commercial Appeal, which for racial intolerance and virulence exceeded the limit. These proclamations bore the name of Clarence Saunders as the author. Saunders is the inventor of the Piggly Wiggly system of groceries, which flourished exceedingly, until its author undertook to take it into Wall street for a killing. As the killing came off on the wrong side, Mr. Saunders withdrew with some violent language about the methods of New York financiers.

As the killing came off on the wrong side, Mr. Saunders withdrew with some violent language about the methods of New York financiers. In this primary campaign in Memphis Mr. Saunders has published some equally violent distribs against the participant of Negro voters in Democratic primaries—a thing which from his statements must be permitted under the statutes andarty customs of Tennessee. But Mr. Saunders thought it threatened defeat for the cause which he supported, so he sought to incite the spirit of the whites against it, even at the risk of promoting job, violence and rioting. Here are some of the arguments which he advanced in his last full page advertisement the morning before the primary: Tomorrow Bob Church and Ed Crump will swell with pride and in gluttonous glee will stand upon the necks of the white citizenship of Shelby County with their feet of political election and election of tomorrow well kill forever the dastardly attempt to put Negro voters on an equality with white voters in a Democratic primary.

The job is yours—white men and women of Shelley County—to show by your votes that no Bob Church-Crump gang can put the Negro vote against yours in a Democratic primary and find you marking hallots side by side with Negroes in an election that by every moral right—every decent right—should have none but white men and women decide by their votes. The intensity of this appeal to the fires of racial hatred was shown in the exorcition of Ed Crump, as "a white man—southern born—who is a political buddy Bob Church—a Negro," "This white an says to other white men, come with The intensity of this appeal to the fires of racial hatred was shown in the excoriation of Ed Crump, as "a white man—southern born—who is a political buddy of Bob Church—a Negro." "This white man says to other white men, come with the Negroes to the polls on election day and we'll putvete the true blue, white men with this mixed assortment of white and black." Said Mr. Saunders, with the ver at such an insult? if on tomorrow you let the Bob Church-Clump gang and their friends come out victorious in the Democratic primary there will start a fire of hate between the white and black race that will, finally, consume you. The danger is too dangerous to do it will be the biggest day of your life if you do it will put a blot of the blackest infamy upon the name of a great city and county if you do. Mr. Saunders gets a little incoherent toward the close, but there is no misunderstanding his efforts to "start a fire of hate between the white and black races," regardless of whom it may consume. Such characters as this man Saunders are a menace to the peace of the South and to its material prosperity. The wits and sense that enabled Saunders to build up a success in the chain grocery business appear to have deserted him. In view of the fact that he closed this last proclamation with the invocation, "And if you do may God have merty upon your soul" is suggestive. A writ in lumpy proceedings would appear to be in order, if his ravings cannot be otherwise subdued. --- GOLFERS' RIGHTS PRESERVED. One day last week the public links section of the United States Golf Association disqualified two Negro players, Robert Ball of Chicago and Elmer Stout of Newark. The charges were brought against them by several observers who had followed them during their second qualifying round on the Cobb's Creek links for the public links championship. After hearing the evidence of witnesses and principals the players were disqualified, but they immediately sought an injunction from the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia, on the ground that Ball had been warned that because of his race efforts would be made to disqualify him improperly and fraudulently. At the hearing before Judge McNeille both of the golfers were fully exonerated from the charge of violation of the rules, and the judge directed the committee to remove the disqualification placed on them. The judge summed up the case as follows, as reported in a special espach to the New York World: GOLFERS' RIGHTS PRESERVED.

The judge summed up the case as follows, as reported in a special despatch to the New York World: "I do not think the evidence has shown any intentional violation of the rules by these men. On the other hand I do not see any evidence of prejudice or disreputation toward them on the part of the officials. I think the officials have been imposed upon by some witnesses who were prejudiced against the men, and who went out to find evidence against them. The committee seems to have been unfortunate in their failure to judge a person whose testimony was heard in advance of the trial at which they were disqualified. "I am pleased to comment on the good sportsmanship of these men who are such lovers of the game that they would not interfere with the further progress of the tournament." The judge appears to have been something of a good sport himself in his enjoyment to promote the interests of the game, without infringing upon the rights of any of those contesting for the championship. It is well to have it decided upon such competent authority, that color should be no bar to driving and putting on the greens. Let the golf enthusiasts pursue the pill without discrimination as to race or color, so long as they drive straight and count their strokes correctly.

It seems that the traditional policy of the British Navy confines its personnel to men of British parentage. The natives are not barred by any law or regulation, but only by the tradition which has all the force of unwritten law. It was this same kind of racial exclusiveness that kept East Indians out of the aviation service during the World war. The treatment of the Maoris in New Zealand has been quite liberal, as contrasted with British rule in some of the other colonies, especially in South Africa. In New Zealand the natives are granted the franchise on an equality with the whites and the question of race has, heretofore been kept in the background. Howe, it is said that the Maoris intend to pursue the question of exclusion from the Navy, with a view of having the bars let down to them. The same traditional policy of excluding the darker races from the Navy, either as enlisted men or as officers has been growing stronger in the United States. While the traditional policy of the Naval Academy at Annapolis has been to break the spirit of any colored lad admitted as a student, since the days of Henry L. Baker, there was a time when the enlisted men included members of the colored races. Now the only dark-skinned sailors on naval vessels are apt to be Filipinos. This, despite the fact that Negroes fought with Commodore Perry at Lake Erie, and that the first THE AGE READERS' FORUM American admiral; Paul Jones, served with colored shipmates.

I have reason to believe and to see that these articles, emanating from the papers of Prof. Kelly Miller, and the dean of one of our leading universities, may or will in time become the data upon which the future historian of the race will make estimate of the men and measures of these times. I will take exception to some of the statements of th good professor, who gives a review of the long line of colored men with dauntless courage have stepped out of the ranks of the ordinary and made the seem- ful fruits attempt to civil social and political justice for his race. He further states, that the most these men have done was to obtain office and place for their relatives, the dean then proceeds to name the bishops of the *Methodist Church* who enjoyed some semblance of recognition at the White House. He could beg to inform him that in the two campaigns of Woodrow Wilson, at no time was a single member of Bishop Walters' family on the pay roll, nor did Bishop Walters seek place or position for himself. Refused Liberian Post When protest was made at the failure of the government to appoint a colored man as Minister to Haiti, the Secretary of State in Haiti, Jean-Bernard, used the words, "Bishop Walters, the President will appoint you Minister to Haiti" President Wilson in person urged Bishop Walters to accept the appointment instead. Bishop Walters replied: "I am called to preach the Gospel and dare not turn aside." He urged the appointment of his friend and co-worker in the campaign. Councillor James L. Curtis, who subsequently received the Liberian appointment. When Bishop Walters' health began to fail, Dr. E. P. Roberts of New York City, our physician, took me aside and told me that Bishop Walters' life, because of a leaking heart, would be shouldered to Misha Walters, a prodigious worker, had given his life and all his means to the advancement of his race. I sought through Judge Robert S. Hudspeth, National Committeeman from New Jersey, a government position. Bishop Walters was unaware of these efforts until the commission arrived. He was asked by Judge Hudspeth that I was one of the unpaid workers of the campaign, carrying on the detailed and business end of the bureau and making my reports to him. Above Political Seduction The professor tends to belittle these bishops because their efforts have been supported with finesse. This may be due to fate and to no fault of the bishops. It is the record of history that full freedom has never been attained in one assault of the citadel. Ireland was some seven hundred years later in general independence. Like the professor, who made an unsuccessful attempt to go over the top with his Sanhedrin, these men were urged to carry the banner, as they were in a position in the political office and emolument; and in their exalted outstanding position in the Church of the country they carried with them that tremendous political advantage and asset, and ever-ready platform to overthrow the constitutional area, with a constituency of millions. I note also that the dean, in his article, leaves Bishop Carey of Chicago suspended in mid air without a word of commendation. I have just returned from Chicago where I find that under the leadership of Bishop Carey the colored people of Chicago have more freedom and political recognition than the colored people chosen blinded of the other sections of the country. One colored man after another has volunteered to lead; failing to attain full measure of success he has had to face the contumely and withering scorn of those faithless pines for whom he was willing to make the supreme sacrifice. Learn Lesson from South We begin our lesson in its attitude toward its leader of "The lost cause." Robert E. Lee, the gallant Confederate leader, is subjected to no misrepresentation and criticism from those he attempted to serve and served to that high point of honor where his name, North and South, is a synonym for unflinching courage and high endeavor. The name of Robert E. Lee eclipses the name of Robert E. Lee, who engaged on either side of the fratricidal combat of the Sixteens.

This monument, too, will endure as the Pyramids of Egypt. Bishop Walters, too, was a valiant leader. He felt that the Inscrutable God had laid upon him the obligation to lead out in the emancipation of his people. he had the courage of those called of God, to fight and to die on the line of his conviction. (Mrs.) LELIA WALTERS New York. Negro Leadership For Harlem Republicans Editor of The New York Age: Solan, the Athenian sage and lawmaker, 350 B. C., on one occasion was asked his opinion re- lationship to the government under which to live. To which he replied, in substance, that one in which any discrimination or injustice practiced by one class towards another, however low or humble in caste, was the very citizen of that commonwealth. Doubtless, you will say the above is a fine definition for an ideal government. Yes, but it is rather too Utopian for me to hope ever to live under any such government in this or any other sept during the millennial period. However, notwithstanding the impossibility of such an ideal government at this time, nevertheless there is no very good reason why the power, as far as it should not mime, effort, as far as it should to attain radically the The above observations have occurred to me in studying, the political situation here in Harlem, as it relates to the Negro, and also the white man's attitude towards hunt in the body politic. If I have ever noticed, there are around 400,000 colored residents in this political baskwell, 125,000 of whom are eligible to vote. I am, also, told that this great political group with its sleeping potentialities, has no leadership of its own, but is subject to the beck and call of some white man, an writing of exile, from a Republican view-point. The reason given for such a condition—namely, a white leadership, I understand, is that none of us as yet are qualified for such an important title. Ever since the Negro has been emancipated from physical bondage, such has been the excuse or reason for the selfish white man, who aspires to fatten upon the political strength of his Negro constituency. I am satisfied I know what I am about to say: No other race group, in Greater New York, with the voting, power, would stand such an unfair discrimination any longer than they could get to the polls. Now, such being the facts, where does the remedy for such an awkward situation lie? Very obviously, within and not without the Negro race group the next question is: Have we the good opportunity to dare protest and make the fight for what is right; and proper, viz: Negro leadership? If we haven't got such a spirit, then we are nothing more than political pawns, to be kicked and cuffed about by our white bosses. No race has ever amounted to "hassle" in this regard, and feels a feeling of race consciousness and demonstrate a spirit of self-determination. And, furthermore, a race group that is lacking in these two essential qualifications is never recognized and respected who have proved their ability and capacity, to dare and to do. A hint to the wise should be sufficient. CHAS. H. MOORE Greensboro, N. C. Dr. I. Garland Penn Sees Rocks Ahead Editor of The New York Age: I am intensely interested in the success of the Republican ticket and the dry cause. I am, however, seeing rocks ahead if the Republican Party attempts what seems to me to be extreme and sacrificing methods of ending the power of Negro leaders in high party counsels as in the case of Perry W. Howard. I like the straight-forward honest to goodness statement of Howard in the Negro press, and think it ought to be taken at full face value until otherwise proven.

Smith is slated, for a political heating, but, "There is many a slip twist the cup and the lip." The democratic ship is being steered by new and younger hands this year—Catholic, northern and wet. This should not make any difference, but it does with the southerners, but it does with the northerners, headed for a port not of their choice. The life boats and rafts exist only in the imagination of the standarters. Heflin, Blease, Upshaw, McAdow and many others of less vivid imaginations are not buoyed and harmony to reassure the ship's celebrated cabin passengers destined to become castaways, not to mention the rest of the human cargo, mostly land-lubbers headed for dry land. Verily southern democracy is being steered by new and younger hands can go along peacefully into spite of the channel and its resultant seasickness or else—there's the seal The paramount issue of this campaign is a moral one—the battle of the amendments. Americans, north, east and west, are sick of the arbitrary impudence of the south, itself nullifying three amendments to the federal constitution, taking refuge in "the light" when evading them, but persisting in enforcing the 18th Amendment in other sections of the country. Its things for our people. Your fight for the Dry Cause in New York is great. 1. GARLAND PENN Austin, Texas. Where The Negro Becomes Of Age Where The Negro Becomes Of Age It is refreshing to be in a country, if only for a short while, where a man feels and is regaled as being full grown. Some few months ago I was in a court room where a man over sixty years of age was a witness. Every time his lawyer referred to him, he either called him "boy" or "nigger." I went from there to the local distributing plant of one of the largest automobile manufacturing concerns. With me was a colored man who graduated from college in 1883. He has been teaching school in the State of Texas for forty-two years. One of the members of the, of the award where we were standing and required, "What will you have?" I left that city in a Pullman car and heard many of the passengers calling the porter, Jark or Bill. I heard the porter, Jark, or Bill, several days in France. Whatever may be the disadvantage otherwise, in Europe a Negro can become of age. He is 'full-grown man. I feel that way many times. I ISSUE 'HOMAS' The Atlanta Independent of which Benjamin J. Davis is editor, recently took to task the Atlanta Constitution for endeavoring to make white supremacy the paramount issue of the campaign. It said: Not farmers' relief, not prohibition, nor tariff, nor outlawry, nor religion, nor any other of the written clauses of the Democratic platform, but the question that supercedes every controversial political campaign is that of "white supremacy," according to Clark Howell. True to form and with usual subtlety, the editor of the Atlanta Constitution chose to descrive Sunday's issue of the 15th with a column and a half of traditional tommy-joe in white apparel. Negro dominancy as against the divinity right of white supremacy, made up of just the kind of foul propaganda which, for years, has tended to check the progress and hold in contempt the otherwise good name of Georgia and the state of this character have long since been tabbed by the liberal-minded, forward-looking editors, white and colored, even in this section. This shows that the recent Senatorial investigation of Mr. Davis' acts as National Committeeman, has not quilled his editorial penpoint. Discussing Perry Howard's predicament, which resulted in his indictment by a grand jury in Mississippi, the Richmond Plane said: Colored people should stand squarely behind Perry W. Howard. He is the central figure, so far as colored people in this country are concerned today. He is the only political leader that emerged from the Republican National Convention unhindered. The power of a State within his grasp. They side-tracked Walter L. Cohen, the great Louisiana leader. They "black-jacked" the uncompromising Ben Davis of Georgia. They throw out "Goosemeck Bill" McDonald, outgoing Ben Davis of by assassinating Perry W. Howard of Mississippi-after he had won in the struggle. Exactly what Governor Smith had to do with the indictment of Perry Howard $i_{s}$ hard to understand. Perhaps Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi is the individual who is most responsible for Howard's predicament. --- The Chicago Bee sees in the present political campaign a fight to the last ditch on the part of the unreconstructed Southern Democracy. It said: Editor of The New York : Age: selfishness, its caevidism, its brazen effrontery, its rule or ruin patulence, its doggedness, its anarchy, has weared the patience of the rest of the members of its own party. But even the south itself is in revolt against the continued follies of its nected leadership. It is a fight to the last ditch, a political as well as civil conflict to overthrow ignorance, superstition and racial hatreds, the triumvirate of southern infashes. In a fight of that kind more liberal element is bound to win in the end. Talking about "Building Bigger U Street," the Washington Tribune said editorially: News that the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows intends to build its temple at Twelfth and U street, northwest, is a promise of another step. It intends development of a "bowlward" building, suggested the acreation of the plant of the Garnat-Patterson Junior High School at Vermont avenue and U street and the artistic Masonry corner of Teach would revolutionize its duties. Now come the Odd Fellows to fit up its prophecy. We believe in Washington as we believe in the greater United States of which it is as yet the bauquiat but young capital. The future of the elite as we imagine it would be a development on our part and because all residence in it, to make our material progress keep step with the larger growth, is one of the ways in which we may prove to the civilized world that we are truly American citizens. Financing of these building wives by modern methods is recognized by the issue of long term bends paying four or five per cent interest, to be underwritten by legal investment companies. The buildings must be revenue producing in order to pay the principal and interest. Answering the question, "Who is the Goal?" The Cincinnati Bulletin analyzed the Republican situation as follows: From time to time we have had much to say about the skeleton Republican organization in the southern states. We have had nothing to say in its favor, but we do not believe that it can be willowled or sugar-coated by a mere change of its personnel. During the past day indications of the heads of the skeleton, and charges are made that they have been guilty of trafficking in federal patronage. For many years it has been considered an open secret that the patronage at the disposal of these leaders was a perquisite of privilege that had been purchased by the delivery of delegates national congressmen. These there has existed two actions—one largely dominated by Negros and one known as "lily white" and absolutely controlled by whis men. Without condoning the faults of the factions dominated by Negros, we clearly see in this judicious desire for righteousness, a desire of the part of the high-ups to charge masters, will still remain and rattle its bones, in the future as in the past, and these men who are now under the instrument, will have been made the "goats" in a framed and useless attempt to break the solid south. This Cincinnati editor evidenced harbors no illusions as to the feasibility of breaking the Solid South by such methods as those practiced by Republican leaders in the past, notably in Virginia and North Carolina. The Norfolk Journal and Guide published a special educational supplement, of which it claimed the material gathered connoted progress. It added, however: There are, of course, some disquieting facts brought out, such, for example, as the increasing disparity between expenditures of public funds for white and colored. In brief, the disparity is this: Every time the States increase the expenditure for schools by $1 they increase the expenditure for black schools as it is a political circumstance over which the Negro has no control. We are at the mercy of a system from which relief comes only to (as fast as there is a softening of the Southern social conscience The sensitive theory of taxation does not function where the Negro is cared in a governmental system where he has no voice. Federal laws and political practice differ in their application. Even in their application it can be argued that we are making progress towards a juster distribution of school funds. The States sometimes take care where it is not due. Recently they appeared in the papers an announcement concerning the schools of Laredo, country, North Carolina to say that rural school conditions have been poor that "every child in the county next fall will attend classes in a city type building" Inquiry revealed that the new development did not apply to Negro children at all, although it constitute a large, if not a majority of the school population not acquainted with the Southern culture, information that is given out concerning education is entirely misleading. If the authorities would be frank and say that "every child merely means ever a white child" would add to the cause of the situation and be fairest to the Negro child. The increased demand for adequate educational facilities is a significant phase of rapid progress which undoubtedly will have its effect.

The guests heavens the tan and the mighty cheerleaders heaven before the train. In an interview discussed how Satan has been pride, having under the power of angels of inferior quality, the being beautiful and the being powerful to the extent that he has been against God and His scripture records it here was in heaven, Michael and the Angel, God bought gourd for the dragon and the dragon with angels prevailed not, either that place found any more the dragon. The dragon was cast but of heaven with his angels into the dark earth. The once beautiful angel then became a wicked spirit, likewise did his angels become evil spirits. And, from Adam and Eve's help, Satan has always tried to put Satan down with the assistance of his wicked spirits. But Jehovah, the All Wise, selected before the foundation of the world a holy people to serve since Himself is Holy. So judiciously God allows it is perfect, but experimentally they are becoming perfect. Dr. J. A. Tate, financial agent of Boyton Institute, spoke from 1 John 1-8-9.

The sermon was powerful and penetrating. At the evening service, Rev. Lee preached about the Christian faith and service, or personal evangelism, taken from John 9:4-14. "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night that sent me, while it is night. He dwelt on the advantage of the personal touch with individuals, one would help, just as Jesus has the personal touch with us; and that the work assigned for us to do, no matter whether a boot-black or a preacher, is indispensable to the success of making us better, when it is well done with honesty of purpose.

Give people joined the church, and the collection amounted to $280.02 Grace Church of Harlem In spite of the heat a goodly number of worshippers attended the services at Grace Church last Sunday.

Being commanded by an angel he sent Cornelius. Poor Cornelius despised the Gentile. Just as things lookest dark for Cornelius, as Peter despised him for awhile, so may things look dark and hard for us when we are putting on a rally for God. For Jesus, he said to Jesus, and wait for the Lord as did Cornelius, who, in time, sent for Peter, despite his doublings, to convert him. At three o'clock there was a goodly number to hear. Rev. Bowles delivered an instrument, ordination sermon to ordained, Bros. Mack, Gaines and Stanley. "I am the son of Jesse, a Bethlehme" was the theme of the message which Rew.

Paradise Baptist Church is given to Southhold, L. I. on August 16 Calvary M. E. Church Sunday school was held at 9 a.m. Three scholars joined at 10 a.m. Rev. J. A. Jackson spoke to the children at the Junior Church service, subject, "The Child Moses." At 11 a.m., Dr. E. W. Rakesstraw, the pastor, preached to a large congregation. His text was 1. Corinthians 11:28. "But let a man examine himself, and so let him think of the drink of that cup." The subject was "Preparing for Communion." Examination is a fair and successful means of testing values of individuals and things. The sacrament is a memorial service to our master. When we enter into this service there should be a feeling of reverence. It is not a service open to the world. It is a service for which individuals must qualify and pass an examination before taken. It is a service for 29 students. "For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself." At 8 p. m. the pastor preached the last of a series of sermons. The subject was "Some Avenues that Lead to Destruction." The text Psalms 39:1, "I said I will take heed to my ways." The subject was men ways of eternal life and to give unmistakable directions. The prophets had made mention of the roads that lead to Heaven. Jesus came to make the road plainer. He came not for condemnation or destruction of the law but to corroborate and elucidate the laws of life. He came not to destroy but fulfill his mission and show the way. He said I am the way. The world's way is broad. It leads to destruction. Some ways begin in the church and lead out. Followers of Christ should be as cautious as David—taking heir to their ways. The first avenue leading downward is selfishness, self-compassion, patting one's self on the ground, and not enough. I break no strict code of ethics. "I'm no commuter of big sins." He that standdeth take heed lest he fall. The second avenue is a mastering desire of tangible, sordid things to the neglect of the great eternal values. We who enjoy flight are able better to the the Romans who enjoyed, the fighting of gladiators. We are neglecting the great values of life and paying attention to things that will not stand. The street called straight street, and When N. Paul in his heart responded to the voice of Christ he was sent to a man who could point out the straight way. To be sure of life eternal one must live on straight street. If you should the point it should be, it must come from the by-way, and high ways of sin to straight street. St. Martin's Chapel The Rev. Samuel W. Grize, warden of the Bishop Payne Divinity School, Petersburg, Va., occupied the pulpit on last Sunday and delivered two inspiring sermons. Mr. Grice will be at St. Martin's for the remaining Sunday in August. For his Sunday morning was as follows: "Then went in that other disciple and he saw and believed" After the sermon Holy Communion was received by a large number. Sunday August 12, at 4:30 p. m. a memorial service will be held for Blanche Hunter Redding, mother of the choirmaster. Special music with an orchestra, under the direction of Achur Redding, will be the feature. The Women's Society announces a party in the playground for Friday evening of this week. Bethel A. M. E.

The trustees of Bethel are fine Christian men and are ever alert in their work. The commitment of African Methodism everready and willing to put over the program for Greater Bethel. That is why the leaders are striving to make the rally September 30 a success. Chas. Taylor is custodian of the board of the Clair Edwards church, the pastor, Dr. A. C. Saunders, custodian.

There is laughter, fun, sunshine, sightseeing, and then more laughter. We haven't seen any drunken men on the street neither have we been humiliated by hearing vile language. To me, it seems a great big, beautiful country town. The climate is perfect. In the delightful mornings the men, women and children wear rolled socks, but in the cool evenings often we see fur coats, and always heavy coats. Some of our church critics who are always croaking that the church is losing ground, should come to Los Angeles, because, as in New York, there are churches of every description. here are over 50 different religious organizations, varying in membership from 100 to 8,000. Last Sunday we worshipped in the Great Hollywood Bowl with an audience of 100,000. Yesterday, we visited Aimee Semple McPherson's Temple, with its 8,000 members, and an average Sunday school attendance of 3,000. Aimee Semple McPherson's sermon was "Fishers of Men." The entire temple was like a seaport. There were fishermen, fishing boats, fishers and reels, and a barefoot little animal, a voice sang in the song of the usual quartet was in sailor uniform, and Aimee sat in a fishing boat preaching. Tuesday we saw the "Life of Christ" in spoken drama in the hills of Hollywood. Our party, as many others, carried pillows and blankets, because it is cold in the hills, but to our surprise we found cushions on the seats. Beautiful beyond words lights surrounding the Saxon Flight, appeared on the hillside; the Transition, the Ascension, the Last Surprise, the Crucifixion, the effects of sunshine and sunset, and the beauty of Old Palestine and the heavy stone walls of the Holy lands. Ian MacLaren, who portrays the Christ, is said to live in seclusion an-1 study during the entire run of the play. He gave the Words of Jesu as he spoke them on the Hills Park. We everyone in that great audience felt the beauty, truth and appeal of this Supreme Drama. Beautiful Hollywood Many young movie fans envy me this trip through Hollywood, with its quaint and beautiful shops, the little brown houses in the hills, the cliff dwellers, its great theatres in the hills, its oranges and lemon baskets in the studio (yesterday we spent the day visiting the United Studios; and enjoying the making of some pictures) its exclusive amusement centers; the beauty and charm of a tree sheltered-boulevard; the snow covered Sierra Madre range on the North; its many beautiful churches; the exclusive home of the movie stars; the exclusive home of the old Spanish missions, built by Spanish pads; it many races; the beauty of the flowers—the polygonium vine; Australian pea vine; the century plant, and maiden hair fern but the most beautiful all of the apple trees. Many young Chinese Theatre, said to be the most beautiful in the world. In the asphalt pavement are seen the foot and hand prints of most of the popular stars, such as THE "Mary and Doug," Gloria Swanson ete. This theatre, presents the artiste and bizarre in original and altered drama. It is a rendezvous for stu- dents of motion picture techniques and all who appreciate the unmim- in the movies. It is here where we see the most east little cottages under their own vine and fig tree. There seems to be an exclusive charm and lure to Hollywood, per- haps due to the spirit of peace and harmy which envelopes the hill. One is never tired or restless in Hollywood. Mexicans In Hollywood. Among the many races seen here are the Mexicans of all classes. We have been told that when a Mexican father's pay night comes, he hands his money over to his wife and then buys them a meal and shops. The mother is the boss in the home. When the father and mother can't speak English, the children are always ready as interpreters. They are numerous and have supplanted all other mating in railroad construction and street mating.

Race Business Grouped. The business of our group, with its drug stores, its doctors, undertakers, dining rooms, newspapers, etc., seem to group around Central avenue. Some of the most important businesses said to be the finest owned and operated by our people in America with a beautiful lobby, big exquisitely decorated dining room, two smaller dining rooms, lounging rooms and patio on the ground floor; there are five shops, a drug store, barber shop, a culture shop, also a reading room and real estate office. This hotel is financed by a group of stock holders and is valued at $250,000. The Lo Vado Apartment is a three-story brick building, and construction of 26 units double, single and bachelor apartments, and is valued at $100,000.

It is one of the oldest papers of our group in America. Today it has the best equipped shop west of the Rockies, with a workhorse of men of many ages, a boy and a large number of correspondents covering the state. Its mission is 'to encourage the youth of today, and to defend the interest and worthiness of business enterprises'. Mrs. Bass is popular in the business world. There are, other places of interest among our group, such as 'The only race hospital,' "We Wattle Shop," and the 'Burdete Cafe.' There is an annoying here, "Wash your hands in the Pacific and you will return." It has been so wonderful here for me that I won't need the help of the Pacific Ocean to return. Negro Golf Players Halt National Golf Tourney at Philadelphia By Injunction When Banned By Officials Common Pleas Court Judge Orders Ban Lifted Declaring Committee Was Influenced By Prejudiced Witness; Men Withdraw Philadelphia, Pa. The national open and amateur golf championship tournament of the United States, held on the Cobb's Creek Golf Links near here last week, was halted at the end of the third round, Thursday, by a court injunction secured in behalf of two Negro players who had been disqualified. The disqualified players were Robert Ball of Chicago and Elmer Stout of Newark. Lincoln Giants Take Two Games On Sunday From Bayonne and Phila. Teams; Scores 4-3 and 7-2 The Lincoln Giants won both ends of a double header from two of the strongest white clubs, that have played at Protectory Oval, when on Sunday, August 5, they defeated the Garfield nine of Philadelphia in a 10-inning contest by a score of 4-3, and the Bayonne nine in the twilight game by a score Charges were brought against them by several observers who followed them during their second qualifying round, and it was upon these charges that the public links committee of the United States Golf Association disqualified them. Ball and Stout left the links threatening to go into court and stop the tournament with an argument. And they were as good as their word, for they immediately got in touch with Attorney Raymond Pace Alexander, who quickly prepared the injunction and had it signed by William Blair, clerk in the absence of Judge Raymond MacNeille. On Friday, Judge MacNeille, in the Court of Common Pleas, completely exonerated the two Negro golfers, and directed that the disqualification placed on them be removed. However, both Ball and Stout withdrew from the championship play, which was allowed to continue. Lincoln Giants Take On Sunday From Phila.

Judge McNeillie in summing up the charges against the Negro golfers said. "I do not think the evidence has shown any intentional violation of the rules by these men. On the other hand I do not see any evidence of prejudice or discourtesy toward them on the part of the officials. I think the officials have been imposed upon by some witnesses who were prejudiced against the men, and who went out to find evidence against them. "The commute seems to have been unfortunately influenced by the evidence of a person whose testimony was heard in advance of the trial at which they were disqualified. "I am pleased to comment on the good sportsmanship of these men who are such losers of the game that they would not interfere with the further progress of the tournament and make innocent men suffer."

I., and the colored policemen, known as Lee's Sluggers, were completely routed by their white rivals, under leadership of Policeman Westervelt. Had not rain caused the game to be halted at the end of the sixth inning, Westervelt's Fence Busters say they would have scored 20 runs off their opponents. The final score was 8-1. After the game, the two teams had a shore dinner at the club house; listened to a quartet composed of Patfolmen Lee, Knowles, Matthews and Jackson, and watched Patfolmen Hurst, Powers and Brisbane dance. Patrolman Harkins and Sergt Cunningham also sang. The lineup of the colored team was; E. Jackson, pitcher; Joseph Brown, catcher; Richardson, first base; Joseph Matthews, second base; Lee, third base; Moore, short stop; M Rhodes, right field; Knowles, centerfield; and Davis left field The Fence Busters' lineup was: Coyle, pitcher, Westervelt, catcher; John Sullivan, first base; Powers, second base; Cunningham, third base; Seward, shortstop; Bronsnan, right field; Licker, center field and Eager, left field.

Joins Majestic Circuit An agreement of far teaching importance to the colored managers, producers and performers which will place the colored theatrical business on a farmer and more business like foundation and which will assure the managers new attractions each season with entire new equipment give guaranteed employment to 500 colored performers, and assure the theatres and performers of solid booking for at least forty weeks of the year, was finally closed last Saturday between Charles H. Turpin of St. Louis, president and Martin Klein of Chicago, secretary, representing the T. O. B. and Jack Goldberg, president, and Joseph J. Myers, vice-president and secretary of the Majestic Theatrical Circuit. Conferences were had between the officers of the two Circuits in St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit and Pittsburgh, which resulted in both organizations obtaining authority from their respective Board of Directors, authorizing the execution of agreements which were signed on Saturday, July 28th, in New York, between Mr. Klein and Mr. Goldberg on behalf of the respective organizations. Under the agreement, the Majestic Circuit will have ready for presentation twenty-five attractions to open on Labor Day in twenty-five cities, routed by the Majestic Cicuit and booked with the T O B A. which will act as booking agency for productions of the Majestic Cicuit for one (1) year, the agreement provides that the T. O B A., shall book no outside attractions other than those which the parties are to agree upon. In this way a solid booking of twenty-five weeks is assured for the Majestic Cicuit, managed by the T O B A. which organization in turn will make its booking arrangements direct with the theatres; there will either be a repeat of some of the companies with entire new equipment, book, for fifteen weeks or additional attractions will be added Calls for rehearsals have been made for August 2nd. Maurice Cain, long identified with burrlesque productions, and Sam Grissman are now part of the Majestic staff. The agreement between the Majestic and T. O. B. A. is a tentative arrangement for this season and it is confidentially expected that the two organizations will amalgamate and become one, having its principal office in New York City, and its Western office in Chicago. There is also an understanding that the houses playing colored attractions will close their theatres for a least eight, weeks during the Summer instead of keeping the house opened continuously, in order to give the producers a chance to rehearse, secure new material and put out new attractions, the fault in the past having been, that most of the theatres played the same attractions six, seven and eight times during the year and often found themselves without attractions, being compelled to put together any kind of a show to the detriment of the colored theatrical business. crowd, Judge Edward W. Henry, Philadelphia, only colored police magistrate, will be the chief speaker of the day, and many prominent speakers, both white and colored, will appear on the program. A high powered radio will be installed so that those present may hear Herbert Hoover's acceptance speech, which is to be broadcast at 8 o'clock eastern time. Edited by WILLIAM E. CLARK Adelaide Hall's Dancing Of 'Diga Diga Do' In Lew Leslie's Show, Blackbirds', Is Shock To Mother Charging that the "Diga Diga Do" number in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928" at the Liberty Theatre, is too risque and that it brings her daughter, Adelaide Hall, singing star of the show, before the footlights in raiment too scanty for words, Mrs, Elizabeth Hall Wednesday by force prevented Miss Hall from making her appearance in this number at a regular performance of the show. a regular performance of the show, Mrs. Hall has just arrived from Nashville, Tenn., and saw her daughter in the show for the first time on Tuesday evening.

Shocked Actress Under Contract. Adelaide Hall, however, said she was under contract to Lew Leslie to sing and dance to the music of "Diga Diga Do" and had to obey the letter of her contract or be forced out of the show. Lew Leslie upheld Miss Hall and declared she had to go through with "Diga Diga Doo" whether it pleased Mrs. Hall or not. Mrs. Hall felt differently about the matter and when curtain time came Wednesday she went backstage to prevent Miss Hall from going on. She made such a rumpus that an understudy, Ruth Johnston, was rushed in at A group of producers and artists were seated in a box at the Lafayette Theatre on Monday viewing the opening performance of "Scouffe Along." When the show was over, Jimmie Ferguson noticed the group when the turned and said: "Well Sam has certainly brought the Lafayette a sensation this time." Clarence Robinson, himself one of the leading producers-answered, "I think it is by far the best show we have had in more than a year." Sam Manning certainly rises to new heights both as a comedian and as a producer in "Scuffle Along." For sheer beauty, for roaring comedy, for snappy dances and for peppy, never-let-up action, "Scuffle Along" is the best 'show offered to Harlem patrons in a year. It is not a revue. A well-connected story runs through "Scuffle Along." It is the story of a West Indian and a Harlemite who pass through the California desert on their way to Mexico and become embroiled in a plot to kidnap the sweetheart of the hard-boiled sheriff. Their adventures keep the audience in a constant frenzy of laughter. A most excellent cast supports Manning—some of the members being new to Harlem audiences Chief among these are George Green, Baby Hines, Bessie Guy, Frankie Watts, Gilbert Holland, the famous dancing team of Meeres and Meeres and Spain's greatest violinist, Don Luis Carlos Varonis. One dance number in the show deserves special mention. It is called "Walk That Broad." The number is lead by George Snowden and Mattie Purnell, who participated in the recent dance marathon. This clever pair were forced to respond to five encores for "Walk That Broad" and for their Lindbergh Hop" and only stopped when completely exhausted. The photoplay program included "Ladies Night In a Turkish Bath" as the feature. This is the screen adaptation of the great stage comedy. Dorothy Maikaill and Jack Mulhall are the stars. Johnny Hudgins, prince of good fellows and most famous of internationally-known colored comedians, landed from Paris, Wednesday morning. During his long stay abroad, he scored remarkable successes in France, Germany and England. Johnny will make his first appearance in America at the Lafayette Theatre next week at the head of "Parisian Nights," a new revue produced by Leonard Harper. "Parisian Nights" has been in rehearsal for the past two weeks and Hudgins will spend the balance of this week putting the finishing touches to the scenes in which he is to take part.

Miss Hall comes from a pious Southern family and is naturally shocked by something that is not at all shocking to the average playgoer. Miss Hall agrees with me that the number is perfectly proper and we intend keeping it in the show."

"Slow Kid" Thompson, husband of the late Florence Mills writes from Berlin, Germany: "Dear Friend Bob, I received yours some time ago, found me well, I would have answered only I've been out of town with the band and was neglectful, as one gets at times. I am back in Berlin to begin a 12-weeks engagement at Kabarett Dor Komiket. This name sounds like an ordinary cabaret, but nothing like it. No dancing, this show is given after the other theatres let out and the show here is made up from all of the biggest stars, both musical and dramatic and each do their bit. Everyone says I was lucky to get this honor and I have twelve weeks when as a rule they only give four, with option. Douglas is here doing fine, working in Max Rincheart's show, and he is the biggest over here. Sam Wooding and Band, with Edith Wilson, will be playing Frankfort and Dresden this month, 15 days in each house. Greenlee and Drayton are laying off, nothing much doing here" in the summer. They are rehearsing Creighton Thompson is here working at a swell place, the Delpa-Sonny Jones is here going out with an Ofay Revue on the first, I am ble, Louis Dandridge, Puggs" "Hot Six" and the twelve Lincoln Steppers, the latter forming a sprightly chorus combination that did their bit in making the show what it is. For the latter half of the week the picture part of the program will introduce Paul Lukas, known as "The Barrymore of Hungary," who plays an important role. "Pola Negril's new picture for Paramount," three Singers," a story of man he said to have an extremely unusual character. Judging from the enthusiasm displayed by the management with the announcement of the coming of "College Days" as next week's revenue offering, this little musical skit which will show the campus at graduation time, to say nothing of a ball staged the same night, is something entirely out of the ordinary. New faces will be seen in this tablod, which will introduce in this form of entertainment during recent days, McKissick and Hatch, Willie Jackson trio made up of Connors, Parks and Collins, and Carter and Bragg. The unusually large crowd seen at the supper performance at the Lincoln, which came after the regular performance that always packs the theatre early in the afternoon, speaks well for the entertainment this week.

About all the road shows that play the Lafayette carry, no orchestra, hence local musicians are hired to play the show by the promoter or manager of the show. The week of July 16, Tom Whately, who is the pianist and travel writer in the group, men in Harlem for the show. At the end of the week the men were paid short, and then the sorrowful down to the "Union began. Sergeant at arms Martin was sent to review the situation and it is alleged discovered that some men were so eager to work that they failed even to know the salary they should be paid. A member of the Lafayette had paid out a certain sum for the musicians, but only a part of this sum had been received by the musicians. Minton got all the interested parties down to Local 802, including Mr. Schiffman, Manager of the Layette, and there the adjut was passed that the musicians had to be paid and not play in any union territory in the United States, and that in future the Manager of the Layette is held responsible for the musicians' galeries. Deway, Winglass, manager of the show, was given four weeks to pay the balance due the musicians. Joe Jordan seems to have had himself installed as Musical Director of the Theatre, as for the past week he was being in the pit with the baton, and it is alleged he is paid by the house management and not by the visiting shows. : It may be that the musical business is tight, and business not so good, but even this does not fully explain the peculiar incident about being related in these days when, by the kind of knight on a horse, actually unlimited groups of singers and players worthy to be bearded, one would think that experienced musicians would investigate and not find themselves placed in embarrassing positions by the folk and connoisseurs, to himself as "promoter"; "Has no union card now, nor for the past three years; does not now play an instrument;" has some other means of livelihood, and does some illiterate teaching. Here is the incident. This man inducted a big band down town to one of the bigger houses in town, stating on the phone the object was a rehearsal. Not one of the invited musicians was given any explanation other than it was a "rehearsal." The designated place was enough to satisfy those phoned to appar VOCAL STUDIO 135 W. 136th St. New York City FIRST EMANUEL CHURCH Home Studio Metropolitan Building Orange, N. J.

The stage staff as big as some musicians included two ladies and a man who appeared to know each other, but were unknown to the six other musicians. The "promoter" conducted the orchestra through two tunes; two songs were sung, and then an "other told the 'promoter' the boss had enough and the orchestra packed up." The show was being Saxophonists, and the man cornet, were evidently pupils of the "promoter" and not experienced enough to make the grade.

Dr. S. L. Warren, one of the founders of the bank, now chairman of the board of directors, presided. Governor Praises Bank The speech of the acting governor was short, but pointed. He told how he had cancelled an important engagement to be present so that he might on behalf of the governor, express his high regard for the made by the colored people of Durham, and his genuine satisfaction with the kind of leaders the Durham Negroes have produced. "I am glad to stand here in Durham and tell the work of the colored people," have studied the history of the leaders of your race in Durham, and just think you cannot have any better leaders. The state of North Carolina is exceedingly proud of your institutions. You stand high with you, but you stand high with you, much as any citizen of North Carolina can that you have reached the point you have attained." President C. C.

Stramman-Thomas, 28 years old, research pharmacologist at the University of Wisconsin, has sailed for the Belgian Congo with six new drugs to find an antifibrinogen antidyskin, which claims 100,000 victims a year. The American scientist expects to remain in Africa, travelling in the Congo and Rhododendron, for two years, experimenting with the drugs to determine which is the most effective in curing the deadly disease. He will establish the greatest jungle clinic which has been developed in the 200 years that man has been fighting African sleeping sickness. Dr. Stramman-Thomas has given him an initial supply of 18,000 doses, enough to treat 10,000 natives. Most of this work will be in treating natives afflicted with the disease. The exposition is backed by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation which has given Dr. Stramman-Thomas a fellowship, and Dr. Dewey & K. K. Dewey, which is furnishing all the drugs for the expedition. Finding a cure for sleeping sickness would be equivalent to discovering a great continent," according to Br. A. S. Loewartmart of the University of Wisconsin, under direction the new drugs were developed. Sleeping sickness is one of the world's remarkable diseases. It is caused by an animal, which can be seen only through the microscope, called a trypanosome. The trypanosome is carried by the tsetse fly, which gits it by sucking the blood of a person or animal infected with the disease. Dr. William Thomas-Thomas left New York August 2, for London. He will start for Africa from saxapur Belgium, about September 1, beginning actual work in the jungle in October. The Department of State has granted the drugs diplomatic right of way, and the American Embassies in London and Brussels have given permission to the British and Belgian governments permission which will allow the drugs to pass through those countries without being opened. Sleeping sickness affects an area of more than 1,000,000 square miles in the heart of Africa. The disease killed off all the draft animals in Air Force and made agriculture on a commercial scale virtually impossible. All abor in the Congo is hand labor, and even the big development companies and mining companies have been hampered in the economic exploitation of one of Africa's largest sleeping sickness which is not the same as seeping sickness known in the country. In Defense of Randolph Editor of The New York Age: I have read articles nearly every week, from the *pens* of Messrs Renzi Lamis, president Dining Car Employees, and Geo L. F. Feld, derogatory to the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, and the burden of their argument seems to be to challenge the notion that Pullman porters are dishonest; this is untrue. There are comments almost daily in the metropolitan papers, and weekly in the weekly periodicals, speaking in the highest terms of the officers of the Pullman Car Porters organization, and it seems singular, especially, that Mr. Lemus, who himself lives by, organizing men, should be a quarter with the Philip Baldip, because he does the same thing. Sometimes ago, Dr. Mordeski Johnson, president of Howard University, white speaking in the Community Church, 6th and Park avenue, New York City, said, "that heatothetra the quarrel with Negro organizer by white parsons was that the Negro organizers were not sinning, but they did not do it, when they are doing This is untrue now, for the Pullman car partners have some of the ablest men, white or black, connected with it, they know sociology, economic, and psychology; and all phases of the labor question." I believe that Mr. Lemus is trying to obfuscate the issue. He himself is trying to get into politics, and he has been able to each take the position between the organized 'worker to organize 'them; selves, and the company organization organized by the employers. In other words, whatever Mr. Lemus' organization wants he submits it to the officials of the dining car employees, and they approve of it, or disapprove of it as they see fit. This is not true of the Pullman car porters, it is a militant organization which undertakes, in far as possible, to prevent you. You have given a lot of publicity to Mr. Lemus and Mr. Ford. I hope you will publish this letter. L. R. COLES Police will arrest all boys caught riding on the rear of cars—judges will impose fines.

JOHN DEAR I BELIEVE IT Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—The annual short course which closed at Tuskegee Institute Friday night, July 20th, was one of the most successful girls and girls-Smith-Leaver agents. This ten-day short course was under the auspices of R. C. Atkinson, director of Agriculture, Tuskegee Institute, and T. M. Campbell, field agent, Negro Extension Work, Lincoln, Smith. The course opened Monday morning, July 9, with a registration of 122 girls and 55 boys and 30 farm and home demonstration agents. The adverse crop, conditions over the State prohibited a number of boys and girls from attending but allowed only girls by the zest and eagerness with which present entered the work. 4-H Program The program for the boys; and girls was built around the 4-H's head, heart, and health.

C. — The summer session at Howard University, has been an outstanding success. The academic work has covered a wide range of subjects in art, education, history, psychology and other branches, connected with teacher training and music. On July 31 a trip was made to the Royal Cemetery at Arlington, where the students placed a wreath upon the tomb of Colonel Charles Young. The activities of the Summer Session were climaxed on August 3 by the usual informal reception for the 406 students, who are registered. WEEKLY NOTES FROM INDIA Dr. Halford Ross administers to British officialdom in India a bitter pill. In his book, "By Devious Ways," he has illuminating comment to make upon the spiritful habit of the British Administration in India. This comment will be, bitterly resented by, officialdom; it will be criticised by, officialdom; it will be which Indian publicists have been waking of the callousness and costiness of British rule in this country. Dr. Ross explains where all the money goes, the money which cannot be spared when demands for expenditure, on sanitation and hygiene are addressed to Government. It is being spent, he says, "On new Berlin" and on the hill exodus, "on petty governors and their silly pompous and pretentious courts and ceremonies" and on salaries of officials "whose chief qualification is their play play play or to ride in a pony race." Dr. Ross, we trust, does not omit to mention the military zone which also absorbs a large portion of India's revenues. Is it any wonder, then, that there is no more being spent on nation-building departments? Plea For Mercy "Bompay Chronicle" commending upon the justice in Nakori Conspiracy case writes that the Vijayee has rejected the appeal for marry of the condemned Kakori prisoners and the 'execution will take place this week. It is pitiful beyond words that these young men whose sense of patrotriot led them into the prison and be for ever deprived of seeing their error and redeeming their lives, assuming that the guilt has been rightly brought home to them. Public opinion is not fully satisfied, in view of the evidence, justice has been done to the accused. But assuming that they are guilty the whole country thinks that the ends of justice would be amply served if the extreme punishment were nullified. It is difficult to believe that On August 8, a musical program will be broadcast in the school. In School of Music, the direction of Prof Roy W. Tibbs and Miss Lulu V. Childers, director.

QUICK — RELIABLE ACCURATE — FASTIDIOUS The New York Age Press 230 West 135th Street New York Printers of the Better Kind the Viperoy is so deaf to the country's appeal for justice tempered with mercy. When Mr. Kakalawata, M. P. appealed, to Lord Winterson the Under Secretary of State for India, to inquire in favor of a boy of seventeen condemned in this case to India, to request a rigorous imprisonment-Lord Winterson said to reply: "I can only assume that your intervention is due to some tiding of remorse that those who are mised by the wild and the whirling words of political agitators should be punished, while those whom the yeal responsibility lies go scotfree." We cannot do better than Mr. Kakalawata: "Your policy and the speeches of the Ministers of the communities are more likely to drive people into a desperate frame of mind where, because they despair of justice or fair play from you, will commit despair actions, than any actions of utterances of mints." Apt To Forget "We are perhaps somewhat apt to forget India's military effort," said Lord Birkenhead, referring to the unveiling of a memorial to Indian soldiers at Neque Chapelle. There is no doubt about that, we should think in. In his own speech, there is no mention of any recognition of India's military effort. Lord Birkenhead is also reported to have said that the Empire would survive because it was not the question of one part of the Empire belonging to another part but because "we were all one people." This, too, is unquestionably true in the case of the Sultan, whose suicide we are all treated as one people. This was said with greater sincerity during the War. But, as Lord Birkenhead says, we are apt to forget. Pollice Armed Force At A Bombardier Strikers Meeting.

He is joining his family here this week A Correction In last week's issue of this column, there was a slight error in the heading of the account of the Pullman porters' outing, which was held at Pelham Bay Park on Thursday, July 26. The title of the article read, "Pullman Porters Go A-Fishing". It should have been, "Pullman Porters Go A-Picticing". THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES BY JAMES M. MORAN THE PORTERS AND THE PUBLIC In The Age of June 16 under the caption, "Reaching The Public," this column expressed an opinion regarding the porters resorting to a strike as the means of obtaining what they desired in wages and working conditions. The article, among other expressions, stated that the public was the only court to which the porters could look for help, if their employer would not consider their case. This opinion was stated in an item of that article which read: "It should now be obvious to the most credulous among the porters that their last resort is the Pullman Company and the public. It is said that it is useless for the porters to appeal to their employer, which perhaps is true. Be that as it may, there is one thing that is certain—a strike will not be the means by which they can force this employer to see the justice of their contentions. Hence, if it will not hear their case, the only other medium is the traveling public." In The New York World of July 31, under the heading, "Porters, Tips and Working Conditions," which appeared on that paper's editorial page, and which no doubt every porter has read, we specifically noted, along with other comments, this item: "As for collective bargaining with the threat of a strike, the collapse of the June movement shows that it offers slight hope. The porters' work is not highly skilled, and the Negro race, moving North and trying to rise in the wage scale, offers a huge reservoir of substitute labor. Public sentiment, if really awakened, can-perhaps help the porters to obtain fairer wages and conditions." knows anything at all, knows that the public never gets beyond the tepid point in interest, even if it arrives at that temperature, to a strike. If the subway workers couldn't get the interest of their public what chances would the porters have of securing the interest of their public in a walk out? No, a strike will not help the Pullman porters. We make the assertion, not because we really believe that there will be one. In fact, we would not have mentioned strike in this column again, but for the frequency of reports which come to the column of passengers asking their porters, "When are you porters" going on strike? One porter told this writer last week, that recently he had twenty passengers in one day to ask him that identical question, and what provoked him most was that each one of the inquirers made the query with a significant smile. "As much to say," grimaced this porter, in relating the circumstance, "that we are poking about it." The porter didn't see the joke, and we don't blame him. We don't blame him, because he, like a number of other porters we know, is sincerely interested in the welfare of his group. He believes in everything that the porters' organization is contending for, but, like The World, and like this column, he doesn't believe that these contitions can be obtained by striking for them. Some other course will have to be逊服ed. This porter also doesn't believe that abasing his job by describing it as slavish and so forth, so as to court sympathy, is conducive to the best interest of the porter. We need the help of the public and need it badly, said the veteran, but there isn't any need of pretending that the Pullman-porters' job is the next thing to peonage. "One cannot," he continued, "abasé one's occupation in one breath and then tell people to respect it in the next breath. And unless respect is commanded no substantial help can be expected in any cause." Now, to our way of thinking, that seems a sensible way in which the porters should look at the matter. Everybody knows that the porters are entitled to mofe pay, and almost everybody agrees that he should get more. On the other hand, anybody who knows at all about Pullman porters knows that the porter is far away from the border of serfdom. The trouble with the porter's situation is that it is overdone, and, the sooner the well thinking porters wake up in this reality, the better it will be for the group. We voice this opinion not with any idea of directing criticism at those persons who are laboring sincerely in the interests of the porters, but rather to draw to the attention of those porters, who think a little on their own account, some facts which are being disregarded in the medley of expressions. This column may not have been always discreet in expressing so openly all its opinions. Still, it is not ashamed of any it has offered. If it has erred, it has erred in what it thought was for the best interest of the porters. Certainly, some of the porters have not seen it in that light, which, of course, we regret. But, then, who expects to please everybody, when it comes to a matter of this kind? We repeat, reach the public, but reach it with the truth, for in the long run this is the thing that counts. The Age Maintains Its Sense of Giving the Devil His Due The Age maintains its sense of fair play by giving the Pullman Company credit for doing its part in trying to ameliorate as much as possible the condition of the Negro Pullman passenger when traveling in the Southland. In other words, The Age has the courage to give even the devil his due. Under the title, "Ignorant Train Conductors," The Age, in last week's issue, in commenting on the experience of J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, with an Illinois Central train conductor while traveling as a Pullman passenger in the Southwest, said: "The responsibility for the continued existence of the jum crow laws lies at the door of the Republican administration, which put in office and controls the Interstate Commerce Commission. This body, which has the power to regulate and control interstate commerce, has invariably refused on technical points to interfere with discrimination practiced in rates and accommodations by Southern railroads. It has allowed the ignorant cracker conductors on such roads to defy the laws governing interstate commerce and to interpret them as they saw fit. The only power that has acted in good faith to ameliorate the asperities of travel for Negroes in the Southland is the Pullman Company, which has proved a refuge in time of need." Also, Its Reputation For Reaching "The Best People" Mrs. Pearl Judah, widow of the late John W. Judah, writes to the editor of this column a letter from Thomasville, N. C., her former home, in which she says: Dear Jumine: Your letter and copy of The Age received. Thanks very much. A former classmate of mine who is now the wife of Rev. Ward Presleyan) got my address from that issue and wrote me immediately urging me to visit her this summer. She has been wanting me to come ever since she saw in The Age of the passing of My Dear Heart. I also had a lovely letter of condolence from a friend of mine Miss Carter, a lawyer of Washington, before I left home, telling me that she saw an account of my loss in The Age. So, you are you have helped me to get in touch with many of my old out of town friends. Mrs. Judah, who is a New Yorker by residence, is visiting her mother, Mrs. P. A. Leard, in Thomasville.

A total of 176 physicians took the examination, but only twenty-five were invited to the eligible list. "The high man is Dr. Ralph Colp of 164 West 79th street, who made 89.50." After the first three men on the list have been certified for appointment, Police Commissioner Joseph Warren will select one of the three to fill an existing vacancy and the fourth man on the list will move up to third place. The Commissioner does not have to be certified before their standing but may skip over the second man and name the third. - Commissioner States Position However, he assured representatives, of the press that Dr. Wright would be appointed "if his record shows nothing against him. In a matter of this kind I don't allow race, religion or politics to "the Commissioner concluded.

Dr. Wright was born in La Grange, Ga., thirty-seven years ago, but his father, a noted physician, moved soon afterward to Atlanta, Ga., where Dr. Wright was reared and educated at the public schools. He attended Clark University, a New York University at Atlanta, which he received the degree of bachelor of arts in 1911. His father in the mean time had died and his mother remarried.

Among other things he originated, in 1918, the intradermal method of smallpox vaccination, which replaced the older incision method. The virus by this method is inserted by needle between two layers of skin instead of in a scratch made in the skin. The older method was unsuccessful because it was impossible to control the exact amount of virus used.
