FRAUD CHARGED IN SECURING SIGNATURES TO GRENTHAL'S PETTITIONS FOR DESIGNATION Petitions filed by Abraham Grenthal with the Board of Elections for designation on the Primary ballots as a candidate for renomination to the State Assembly from the 19th Assembly District contained, it is charged, many names fraudulently signed, and it is reported that the Election Commissioners have been asked to investigate the petitions, with a view to determining their legality. It is asserted that an examination of the petitions by a committee from the Myles Paige supporters revealed many illegal signers, and there were indications that many of the names supposed to have been signed individually by a voter were really signed by the same person tral Republican Club to discuss matters of importance. There are indications of a considerable lack of interest on part of white members shown by their failure to be present at the club meetings. A recurrent report has it that Grenhal is trying hard to Many Alleged Signers. It is believed that a close and detailed checking up of the Grenalt lists would reveal many such signatures. One interested individual, in a letter to Alderman Fred R. Moore under date of August 22, wrote as follows: "I have checked a few hundred fraudulent voters who will vote against your party. They were imported from the 17th A. D. Lausacs' resides on Grand avenue, The Bronx. Challenge them. Five hundred more are to register before election." With this letter there came a list of registered voters in the 19th A. D. on which the names of more than a hundred registrants had been checked as being illegally registered. On one petition for Grenital, it is reported that 200 forgeries were found. This list was attributed to one "Merris Dekolo," who gave as his address, "E90 East 181st street," but at that address no such person has ever lived there and his name was not included in the city list of enrolled and qualified voters as required by law for witnesses to designating petitions. More Than 400 Forgeries. Another batch of seventy signatures were turned in by one, Walter Hagen" also unqualified according to law, was discovered, and there were found, it is alleged, more than 100 forgeries and more than 10 signatures by unenrolled persons, others living outside the district. Objective to certificates and petitions is coupled with the Board of Electronics on August 24, 1928. On the other hand, the most rigid course of the Paige petitions by a group of Grenthal's supporters has failed to reveal any discrepancies. This committee, after careful examination, was compelled to O.K. the signatures as being all right. A late report now charges that Grenthal is sending letters to the secretary of the Paige petitions, asking them to meet at the Gen- tral Republican Club to discuss matters of importance. There are indications of a considerable lack of interest on part of white members shown by their failure to be present at the club meetings. A recurrent report has it that Glenital is trying hard to overcome defections in his ranks by making all sorts of overtures to the voters of the 19th, with promises of jobs and financial help. Josiah Dixon Is Active. One of the most conspicuous of the Grenhal's lieutenants is the wellknown Josiah Dixon, a former prohibition agent, who was tried in the United States Courts on charges of receiving bribes. He was acquitted, although his companions, Richard E. Warner, who was active in the 21st A. D. as a supporter of white party leadership, and Jesse Harvey, tried on the same charges, were convicted on June 28, 1927, and are now serving terms in the Federal Prison at Atlanta. He might be noted that in commenting on the acquittal of Dixon, Judge John C. Khnqx, who pronounced sentences of thirteen months each on Warner and Harvey, said he regretted that the jury had not convicted the other defendants, one of whom was 'Dixon, as he thought they were equally as 'guilty as' Warner and Harvey, . Hoodwinking The, Voters. The effort to bring about the nomination in the Primary on September 18 of Myles Paige as a candidate for the State Assembly instead of Grenthal is steadily increasing in intensity. There is a strong feeling that the white party leaders in the 19th and 21st A.D.'s are trying to hoodwink the Negro voters by offering them the congressional nomination. It is pointed out that the real opportunity for elective representation for the race is in the naming of candidates for the Board of, Alderman and, the State Assembly, as the Negro vote is, of more vital importance in these two districts than in the five which make up the 21st Congressional District. The Negro vote is in the majorities in 19th and 21st, but it is only about thirty per cent of the total vote of the 13th, 19th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd, which five Assem- FIGHTING FOR RACE Attorney MYLES PAIGE Candidate for Nomination on Regular Republican Ticket for State Assembly. Dr. Moton To Support Hoover's Candidacy In a letter to Albon L. Holsey, secretary of the Colored Voters Division of the Republica Nacional Committee, Dr. Robert R. Moton principal of Tuskegee Institute, announces that he will support Herbert Hoover, Republican candidate for President, declaring that in his acceptance speech Mr. Hoover disclosed himself as "the spokesman of the finest and best in American life, as one familiar with the problems discussed, whether sectional, national or international." Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of New Orleans, of the Knights of Pythias N. A. S. A. E. A. A. and A., representing more than 300,000 Pythians, telegraphed Mr. Holsey that Hoover's "policy of equal opportunity for every man and woman and child, regardless of race or religion, is the expression of a heart as broad as humanity." Marcus Sanchez Hurt In Bad Subway Wreck Marcus Sanchez Hurt In Bad Subway Wreck Marcus Sanchez of 211 Hawthorne, avenue, Yonkers, was, it seems, the only member of the race injured in the diaastrous subway accident at Times Square station on Friday afternoon, August 24, when a defective switch caused the breaking in half of the ninth car of a 10-car train, resulting in seventeen deaths and more than one hundred wounded. Mr. Sanchez was taken to Bellevue Hospital suffering from a strained back and lacerations of the side and right leg. After treatment, he was allowed to return home.

Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman Reported As Attempting To Explain Why She Repudiated Pledge To Support Paige So general has been the public condemnation of Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman for the stand she has taken in the fight for race representation in the 19th Assembly District that she has felt called upon to give some explanation of her actions to friends. To one friend, who is one of Harlem's most prominent citizens, she freely admitted that prior to the meeting at which the Republican candidate for the Assembly in this district was designated, she had promised to support Attorney Paige and had also promised to second his nomination. But she is said to have declared, she did not know he was going to oppose the district leader for the nomination. explained to her that Mr. Paige was fighting Greenthal and he, Grenthal, did not know what the colored people wanted. He asked her, says Dr. Coleman, whether the colored people of the district would prefer the Assembly, or the Congressional nomination, and she told him they wanted the Congressional nomination by all, means. She is also alleged to have told Called By Grenthal. When she reached the meeting, Dr. Coleman says she was called upstairs by Mr. Grenthal and he Church of Christ Celebrates 9th Year The ninth annual convention of the Church of Christ of the Apostolic Faith began Sunday, August 26, with the initial sermon by Bishop R. C. Lawson at the Refuge Church of Christ, 52-56 West 133rd Street. The sermon was based on John 11-26, "Believe thou this." A large number were present despite the inclement weather. Divine healing and the baptismal service followed the sermon. In the evening, Elder E. D. Turman of St. Louis, Mo., preached and he brought a message that will long, be remembered. During the week, services will be held at 10 a. m., and 2 p. m., every day at the Refuge Church. Next week will be devoted to the executive sessions and progressives and liberal measures will be deliberated upon and passed for the furtherance of this new Christian movement which has had a phenomenal growth. Just 9 years ago, its founder, Bishop R. C. Lawson, came to New York City and founded the Refuge Church of Christ which is the mother church. Today there are 34 branches in all parts of the United States. During the week, delegates continued to arrive from Missouri, Florida, South Carolina, Illinois, Ohio, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia and Washington, D.C. Preachers, missionary and church workers of all faiths, denominations and creeds are invited to attend the services during the convention. All meetings will be held at the Refuge Church of Christ, 52-56 West. 133rd street. During the past week about 80 Italian们 were baptized at the church and an Italian branch of the church will be started in Mt. Vernon, N. Y. It is interesting to note that one of the lead deacons of the church, Mr. Martin, is an Italian. explained to her that Mr. Paige was fighting Grenthal and he, Grenthal, did not know what the colored people wanted. He asked her, says Dr. Coleman, whether the colored people of the district would prefer the Assembly, or the Congressional nomination, and she told him they wanted the Congressional nomination by all, means. She is also alleged to have told her friend that she was getting money out of this campaign and that she could get anything she wanted from Mr. Grenthal. Says Hayes Slipped Away. Among other statements she made was one to the effect that the Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes has never officially declined the nomination for Congress tendered by the Republicans of the 21st Congressional District. She charges that he was persuaded not to accept the nomination by Alderman Fred R. Moore, and then secretly left town at the last minute, without giving former Assemblyman E. A. Johnson who was also seeking the nomination, time to file petitions. Dr. Coleman is president of the local Federation of Women's Clubs, and president of the St. James Presbyterian Church forum. She has always held herself out to be a staunch advocate of equal opportunity and equal rights for the Negro, but her actions in this political fight for racial representation is not in keeping with the sentiments she has expressed in previous occasions.

Fraud Charged In the Grenthal's Petitions (Continued From First Page) bly Distrikte make up the congressional district, which runs from 125th street to Spuyten Duyvil. And it is being realized that Grenhal and Coulin are pulling the wool over the eyes of their supporters in agreeing to name white men for the Assembly and State Senate, and a colored man for Congress. They are taking advantage of the prevalent lethargy which pervades the voter ranks, with the standing the seeming energy which is being put forth by some of their supporters in boosting a Negro for Congress. Sava Women Aro Mialed. The activities of Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman are referred to in this particular, and the fact that she is calling a "registration rally" for one of the local churches at an event, she is cited as a evidence of the length to which the congressional camouflage is being carried. And, too, it is declared that many of those crying loudest for congressional representation are most conspicuous for failing to Speak of the activities of women in supporting Grenhal in the 19th, and of the chronicling of their pledging to support Pale and then, repudiating their pledge to another correspondent writes the editor of The Age, saying: "Your article in recent editions of The New York Age concerning Republican Bosssim as displayed in the 19th A. B. were timely and to the point, and should wake up all Republican Negro women in North Carolina all to tell Negro women of the way a few misted women sold the birthright of thousands of other Negro woman. I was always in favor of Woman Suffrage, but if Negro women who are forceful and clever enough to be captains or co-leaders of their party, they don't know that the calling of a politician is to win decently, fairly and aboveboard, they ought to quit." A half-dozen interested white citizens have spoken to The Age, asking if it is really believed that Negroes will stick to the end in this fight and stay hitched. They declare that the trouble always has been that the race will always represent the people, and they will forget to get it. These citizens promise that if the Negro really means business, there are a number of white voters who will help to vote to give the race what it wants.

Modern Facilities Of Civilization Have Made Rapid Increase During Past Two Years In Liberia's Land Radio Connection Established With America; More Than Two Hundred Automobiles and Williamstown, Mass.—Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, educational director of the Phelps-Stokes Fund, speaking here August 28, on "The Impacts of Industrial Civilization" and "Liberia and the Firestone Developments," said that the modern facilities of civilization have increased more rapidly within the last two years than in any twenty-five years prior of Liberia's history. That whereas three years ago there were only a few miles of dirt road and one automobile, there are now seventy-five miles of good roads, and two hundred automobiles and trucks operated by native drivers. dollars at seven per cent for the refunding of its debt burden for the general improvement of the country in agriculture, sanitation and education. "These terms were undoubtedly the only arrangement possible to Radio To America. A short wave radio service has been established between Liberia and America, and the Du River Waterfalls have been harnessed to produce high power electric lines which supply light, refrigeration and power purify the water and pump it throughout the settlements. Dr. Jones said in part: "As chairman of the American Advisory Committee on Education in Liberia I have received from our agent, in Liberia the following information of the results of the Firefighting cooperation since they began three years." "1. To formulate a program of health and sanitation in Liberia Dr. Strong of the Harvard School of Tropical Medicine, with a staff of ten, conducted an investigation of Liberian conditions in 1926. The results of this study are now being carried out as widely and rapidly as possible. Study of Native Life "2. To ascertain the tribal traditions and manners of the native people arrangement was made with the Harvard School of Anthropology to conduct a study of native life. In 1922 Dr. David known as a missionary-anthropologist in Africa, visited Liberia to make observations of native customs. "3. Through cooperation with the Liberian Government and the Liberian Educational Committee the company adapted industrial school and in various ways encouraged the native people. "4. To guarantee justice to the native laborers, the Firestone Company has made three provisions of basic importance, namely: (a) The employment of labor without compensation to the service. Every employee is free to leave at any time. (b) An eight-hour day; (c) Payment of wages direct to the employee. In addition arrangements are made for natives of the same tribe to live together in model villages with four streets and a cross with recreational buildings so that a sold to them at cost and plots of ground are provided for gardening. The Firestone Agreement. "The basis of term agreement are first, that the Firestone Company may lease, for ninety-nine years, one million acres of land suitable to the cultivation of rubber. Second, that the company shall construct a harbor subject to imbursement by the Liberian Government at an interest rate of seven per cent. Third, that the Government agreed to issue forty-year bonds to the amount of five million FOR RENT A very-desirable corner store at Sventh Avenue and 139th Street—especially suitable for Clothing, Confectionery or Drug Store.

Sun Porch, suitable for boarding house or a small sized hotel, with plenty of space for additional buildings dollars at seven per cent, for the refunding of its debts and for internal improvements of the country in agriculture, sanitation and education. "These terms were undoubtedly the only arrangement possible to depletion without the economic resources, and therefore, unable to pay its indebtedness. The leasing of one million acres in a country whose total area is almost twenty-nine million acres is a small risk. The payment of seven percent interest on a loan of five million dollars seems to be made for carefully-managed undertaking necessary to the economic and social welfare of the country. A Unanimous Opinion. "This is the unanimous opinion of a longtime friend in Liberia, including the three American colonization societies; the missionary boards who spend $150,000 annually in Liberia, and American aid to missionary organizations on Education, representing seven organizations whose interest in Liberia began with its foundation and continues to the present day." "Had it not been for the genuine interest of our State Department it seems certain that American would have succumbed to the inroads of its powerful neighbors and, to the persistent weaknesses within." Dr. Jones spoke in most optimistic terms of the definite results of the cooperation of American capitals with American friends of the republic with Presidents King and the Liberian Legislature.

IMPROVED LABOR CONDITION SEEN IN JULY SURVEY Negro Toilers Are Getting Better Showing In West, Midwest According to a bulletin issued by the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League, T. Arnold Hill, director, Negro labor employment is making ahead imminent changes in the country, with July showing a surprising gain in face of the seasonal industrial shifts that are usual during the summer months. The improvement is accounted for in part by hot weather in the E. opening up summer resort employment and the laying out of construction and street repair jobs becoming available. Los Angeles shows through a recent survey that eighty per cent of those out of work during the winter and early spring are now employed, are reports from point to point, the west show that Negro labor is being used to do whatever it is qualified to do. Western Union Uses 40. The State Highway has given work to Negroes at Jefferson City; the Standard Oil Co. is using colored employees to stage a stage; building operations afford employment in Kansas City; forty new positions for Negro laborers were opened by the Western Union Telegraph Co. on the campus of the University of Springfield, Ill; and in Omaha and Milwaukee, more foundry and con- System Filled With Poison as a result of CONSTIPATION Mr. R.

I tried several things but I could get no relief! My alliments were the result of chronic constipation which caused my system to become filled with poison. "One day a friend suggested that I try Black-Draught. I began taking it right off. I continued weeks and since then I have felt better. I am in better health now than I have been in years.

Shephard as a religious training school and Chautauqua, North Carolina College for Negroes, according to plans now on foot, bids fair to become the leading institution for the higher education of the Negro in the Southeast. $150,000 will be expended upon an administration building of the most modern type, upon which accords will be made for it to be in the Fall, and an additional $150,000 will become available shortly. It is expected that the next legislature will make liberal provisions for maintenance and improvement purposes. With the opening of the school for the 1928-29 session in September, the first senior class of the institution will enter upon their duties and by the graduation of this class in North Carolina College will have reached its full status as a Grady A, Senior College.

Fortunately, Mr. Holman found it impossible to secure an automobile and driver without delay, and at 220 he was on the road, speeding away to Kilmarnock. Good fortune attended his flying trip, for the miles were covered without mishap, and just before 5 o'clock, Mr. Holman reached the home of Dr. M. Norris, host to Dr.-Hayes, and found the party on the point of leaving the house to take a boat for the fishing grounds. Ten minutes later the party would have been out on the Bay. Dr. Hayes Was Surprised. Dr. Hayes was surprised to learn of the mission on which Mr. Holman had come, and stated that he had been. of the opinion that the letter of declination sent the leaders was sufficient. However, realizing the vital necessity which had driven Mr. Holman on the long and arduous trip, Dr. Hayes immediately, with the assistance of Dr. Norris, set in motion machinery to expedite the matter. Signing the formal certificate, a trip of eight miles was required to find a notary public to take the acknowledgment. This accomplished, another hurried ride of fifteen miles to the county clerk's office at Lancaster, the court house, was necessary to secure an affirmation from the county clerk as to the notary public's authority to act. These trips necessarily consumed time, and after they had been made, there remained another six-mile drive to reach the landing at White Stone, at which point Mr. Holman embarked at 5 p.m. Thursday, on the Steamer Potonice, enroute back to New York so as to get the document filed: before the Board of Elections closed for business on Friday.

Y.—Two children are dead and their mother and another child are in a serious condition as a result of the double collision between two touring cars and the auto bus carrying sixteen passengers. from New York to the Elks convention in Chicago. The accident occurred about 7 a.m. Saturday on the Cavenova Lake, 14 miles from Syracuse. Driving along a narrow road and through a heavy fog, Dr. and Mrs. David Haller and children of Rochester, N. Y., attempted to pass another touring car coming toward them and their auto is said to have skidded into the side of the bus and turned over. The other car was also hit when the Haller-car skidded but no one was injured. Little Sally Haller, five years of age suffered a fractured skull and died almost instantly Her brother, David, four, also suffered a fractured skull and died a few hours later. The mother and the other child, Shirley, are both in a serious condition in a Syracuse hospital. The passengers of the bus, with the two drivers and Floyd J. Snelson of the Interstate Tattler, who was conducting the party, were shaken up but were otherwise unhurt. They were all asleep excepting Mr. Snelson and one of the drivers. The driver of the bus was placed under arrest under a technical charge but was later exonerated of any blame in connection with the accident. The heavy fog oer the lake was the cause of the accident, the officials determined. The occupants of the other car, which also upset in a ditch, after the Haller car had swerved into it, were unhurt. Riders Demandd Money Back. Several of the passengers of the bus caught the Monarch Lodge special train as it came through Syracuse Sunday, night and continued on to Chicago, but the majority, who had already paid a round trip fare on the bus, were forced to return to New York: Quite a scene was created in Syracuse when they demanded that Mr. Snelson return their money. According to Snelson, the money was paid to the Bud Sightseeing Company, owners of the bus, before the trip was started. He was personally so short of funds that he was forced, to return to New York. He assured other passengers that the matter would be adjusted when they got back home.

BARBER'S SCHOOL OPENED IN·HARLEM BY MME. MADDOX Woman Also Operates 4- Chair Barber Shop At 2155 Seventh Ave. Mme. Edna Harley Maddox, proprietor of Anita's Tonsorial Parlor at 2155 Seventh avenue, between 127th and 128th street, opened a barber college in conjunction with her barbershop on Monday, August 27. Despite the objections of neighboring barbers. Mrs. Maddox opened the school, and with two chairs in the rear of the shop for students only, gave her first instructions on Monday. She is assisted in teaching by Lafayette Greer. All phases of barbering will be taught at reasonable rates. The length of time the course will run will depend upon the student's ability to master the art. Mrs. Maddox, for the past four years, has been engaged in barbering in shops both in New York City and Brooklyn. Three months ago she decided to open her own shop and since built up a steady chentlete. There are four chairs in the front of the shop with experienced barbers at work 'Manicuring is done by Mrs Edna Thrower, an experienced manicurist, who used to be a member of the cast of "Lalu Belle." The student barbers will not receive their instructions in the barbershop proper, but will confine their activities to the school in the rear of the shop and the two businesses will be conducted separately. Two Tota Are Killed. New Orleans—Whether one happens to be in the business, professional, educational, or any other field, if he would have the recognition essential, to his success he must through some medium have the uninformed masses know what he is engaged in and just how able he is to give to them efficient service in his line. In other words he must advertise himself and his goods. The same principle holds good when applied to groups; if we must be recognized as a group, then we must give to the formed masses information, some "close ups" of our achievements as a group in business, professionally, educationally, and in other spheres so that they may know our grade of efficiency. This cannot be done all in a few days or years but it can be begun now, and as a matter of fact it was started some few years ago when the inspiration came that is responsible for our volume "Who's Who In Colored America" and it being done now in a more detailed form is called "BWO'S WHO IN COLORED LOUISE\NA", a volume covering a small territory possibly but working that intensively. This book, every sketch of which will be the work of authorities, will disclose many facts about Colored Louisiana of which the uninformed masses have never dreamed, publishing through its columns men of National fame of every profession, such as Hon. Anthony Overton, one of our leading business men, Hon. W. L. Cohen, Comptroller of Customs for Port of Orleans, Rev. E. W. White, Pastor Tulane Ave. Baptist Church, one of the largest in the City of New Orleans, Dr. J. W. E Bowen, Instructor in Gammon Theological Seminary, Mme Lelia Walker, President of the Mme C. Walker, Mfs., Co. Dr. J. S. Clark, President Southern University, one of our Foremost Educators, Prof. A. E. Fewer Prominent Educator and Civic Leader, Supervising - Principal in New Orleans Public Schools, Clarance Williams, noted-Corpoper, and others, several of whom's connection with Louisiana is scarcely known. And so Louisiana, the state which many natives have found it embarrassing to own will when facts are disclosed become highly regarded. Miss C. K. Bartlett, white philanthropist, of Chicago, IL, has promised, at her expense, to put a book in every colored library in the South, which means that our hundreds of school children will find at least on evolume of Colored History through which they will receive such authentic information as who Louisiana's colored governor was; who bought $10,000 worth of Liberty Bonds, during the World War; who the two or three colored millionaire products of Louisiana are; how much more colored insurance is owned and handled in this state than any other; more about Hon.

The increase of the race in numbers and in political intelligence demands it. With the ability to compose differences of opinion within the group, without forever invoking the intervention of white leaders, the race could soon evolve for itself a fair degree of leadership which would make it a political factor worth reckoning. At present its strength is largely spent in internal dissensions and frittered away in supporting white leaders who fail to give a fair return for that support. TENDER SOUTHERN CONSCIENCE. Not so many weeks ago Colonel William J. Simmons, the founder of the revived Ku Klux Klan, told how he utilized the film, "The Birth of a Nation," to aid in building up the membership of the hooded organization, in and about Atlanta. He timed his advertising to appear simultaneously with the showing of the picture, and the latter was generally regarded as being propaganda for the klan. This was emphasized by the manner in which the Negro was depicted as a menace to white civilization, while the Union cause and its military and civil leaders were ridiculed and held up to derision. SALIENT ANGLES OF CAMPAIGN. Among the saint angles of the presidential campaign, which have arrested the attention of the hardboiled political writers, are certain developments concerning the attitude of the Negro voters. Since the Kansas City convention, there has been an effort on the part of the Republican leaders to free the party in the South from any suggestion of black leadership. Not content with turning down Benjamin J. Davis in Georgia and Walter Cohen in Louisiana as state leaders, after the convention there was a concerted attempt to discredit Perry Howard as a factor in Mississippi politics and Robert R. Church in Tennessee. Howard was indicted on a charge of selling Federal offices and suspended from his position as an Assistant Attorney General. Church won out in the primaries in Memphis, despite local efforts to defeat him by raising the old cry of Negro domination. But while the South welcomed such pictures as "The Birth of a Nation," it has manifested a great aversion for the presentation of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," either on the stage or as a film. In Atlanta not long ago the showing of the film version was forbidden on the ground that it would lead to bad feeling. Protests against a public showing of the film were made after a preview. A conference between the mayor and members of the board of film review and representatives of the Universal Picture corporation resulted in a promise not to book it for Atlanta audiences. Whose feelings were going to be ruffled by its exhibition, was not explained. All this effort to eliminate the Negro from the Republican party in the South is presumably part of the move to break the Democratic solidity of that section and encourage the white voters who cannot swallow Smith, to vote for Hoover. The danger of this devious policy, which is a wide departure from basic Republican principles, is that it is bound to promote a reaction among the colored voters in the Northern states, who have learned to support Democrats for office in local elections. Seeing the adoption of lilywhite methods in the South, they are apt to lose faith in the party which has hitherto had their support on national issues, because of its past record as the party, of freedom and equality before the law. In Dallas, Texas, a different *method* was adopted to fit the production for Southern audiences. The story was altered so as to make Simon Legree, the villainous slave dealer of the book, a "Yankee." Not only was the North to be made responsible for the brute who whips "Uncle Tom," but some, of the footage dealing with the cruelties inflicted upon the slaves, was omitted and a prologue added explaining that such occurrences were the exception and not the usual thing in the South before the war. These alterations were agreed to, after protests had been made by a delegation from the United Sons and Daughters of the onfederacy who had seen the original film. The same result might have been arrived at, in the opinion of some observers, by less brutal tactics, if the Negro leaders in the South had been taken into the confidence of the political managers and induced to take a back seat for the good of the party. It might have been represented to them that the opportune time had come to insert a wedge in the political solidarity of the white South. That in order to bring this about it would be necessary for black men to cease to figure prominently in party leadership, but allow the whites to dominate party matters. That such a course of self-effacement was necessary to serve the best interests of the race, as well as the party. Whether such an argument would have been convincing, we do not know, but if the retirement of the colored Republican leaders of the South could have been brought about by their voluntary action, it would not have produced such a degree of resentment, as now exists. The milder term of "War between the States" was also substituted for "Civil War" in the titles, the original term of the "War of the Rebellion" never having been heard by either the film people or the makers of the protest. The remarkable thing about this sensitiveness on the part of the South to the showing of the horrors of slavery, is that it betrays a tenderness of conscience that the white South has hitherto successfully hidden. Exactly what this tenderness is based upon is not apparent, as in many parts of the South the Negro is made the subject of cruelties and oppressions, not less abhorrent than those pictured in "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Such tenderness of conscience should bring forth meet fruits of repentance in a disposition to render justice and fair treatment to the race today. PEONAGE AND BOOZE. According to a story coming from Memphis last week, the system of peonage which is carried on in various parts of the South, was utilized to further the production of illicit liquors, on several islands in the Mississippi. Revenue-agents reported that some four hundred black men and women were held in virtual slavery by a gang of booze makers, being forced by cruel abuse to operate the stills. The distillers were alleged to be making ten thousand gallons of liquor weekly, which was shipped to various points on the river for disposal. The reported revolt of individual leaders among the colored voters, such as J. Finley Wilson, head of the Independent Order of Elks, and Robert R. Church of Memphis, is to be taken with several grains of salt. Outside of his connection with the Elks, Mr. Wilson's influence would not carry far, although he has been the publisher of a weekly newspaper at Washington for several years. Mr. Church is in a position of wider influence in Memphis, but despite his recent victory at the primary, he has made many political enemies who are trying to bring about his downfall. Government agents have been seeking to find the source of supply, of this vast quantity of liquor and sent revenue cutters to visit the islands. The operators of the plant, two brothers named Fraley, were arrested together with six of their gang. So desperate were the prisoners in their efforts to escape arrest, that dynamite was used to keep off the government-vessels. From the testimony now in the hands of the government, it is learned that the members of the gang did not hesitate at murder and other crimes, in order to force victims to operate the stills. At least four murders are charged against them, beside other, outrages inflicted upon, the half-clothed and half-starved men and women who were brought to testify against them. Much of the dissatisfaction among colored voters in the North, has been augmented by the dominance methods of the white leaders, and the failure of the Negroes themselves to unite in a cohesive policy. In Harlem we find the white district leaders offering a more than doubtful Congressional nomination to the colored voters, while they propose to take the perfectly safe Senatorial and Assembly nominations. In Brooklyn the Colored County organization raised a tempest in a teapot over the appointment of a competent woman of the race to the post of director of political activities among colored women in the East. In view of the elimination of the Ne- negro from active, participation in the Re- Other islands besides the one raided are makers, who were credited with furnishing ninety per cent of the illicit liquor peddled in the Mississippi Valley. The fate that befell informers was indicated by the finding of the body of a suspected squealer floating down the river, the last of seven others who had tried to supply information to the Federal officers. The two brothers Fraley who owned the island which was raided, were released on bonds of five thousand dollars each for trial. They had their thermos bottles, hats and those bri handkerchiefs, which over one shoulder Sunday papers and short, the form beach, were theirs, anybody else, and minded to say them The same evening a Fifth avenue Ruhl found ten of gers inside, to be This would appear only to cover their prosecution on the charge of violation of the prohibition laws, the more serious charges of peonage and murder not having been formally pressed. It is to be hoped that the government authorities will not hesitate to press these charges and break up the system of slavery established on these islands in the Mississippi. If the Southern conscience is getting too tender to stand the reproduction of the horrors of slavery on the film, there is greater reason why it should be stirred to prevent the actual revival of such conditions within twenty-five miles of the city of Memphis. DISCIPLINE FOR JUDGES The suggestion made by Representative Celler of Brooklyn, that the need for his bill providing a tribunal for the disciplining of Federal judges, was shown by the Serri case may be well taken. The bill would have a tribunal composed of the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, together with the senior Circuit judge and one district judge from each district. They would provide rules and means for effective action in case requiring intervention short of impeachment. Congressman Celler says that the matter is too cumbersome and political to be expedient as a means of disciplining Federal judges, some of whom appointed for life are inclined to become despotic in their rulings. These reflections were prompted by the conduct of a Federal judge from Texas who has been occupying the bench in the Brooklyn district during August. In his controversies with the members of the bar and his comments on subjects not directly involved in the cases before him, his judge has aroused not a little criticism. According to some of the critics the hectors lawyers and badgers defendants. Because of his dictum delivered from the bench, that "white people and Negroes cannot live together," it was maintained that no Negro could get a fair trial before him. And yet in several cases where Negroes were convicted, isolating the prohibition laws, he gave them lighter sentences than were given white defendants. So far the judge's dictum upon segregation was concerned, we are inclined to the opinion that it had nothing to do with the case, and an acute lawyer would have taken exception to it as evidence on the ground that it was immaterial and irrelevant. That it might prove dangerous in poisoning public opinion was shown in a note published in one of the tabloid newspapers commending the judge for showing the necessity of "keeping the Negro in his place." The Southern form expression of the Texas judge evidently found an echo in some other expatriated, Southerner. How far a judge should be limited in his dealings with the members of the bar and witnesses is hard to define. He should undoubtedly have the power to curb unjustly lawyers who browbeat and hector witnesses in the attempt to confuse them and discredit their testimony. A judge with the courage and the disposition to do this would earn the thanks of many badgered witness, who was trying to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Too many lawyers are prone to insult a witness by implying that because he is an officer of the law he is incapable of telling the truth. There is need of discipline for the too captious judge just as there is for the bullying lawyer. A little more consideration on both sides would help matters long.

Arthur Ruhl, a wideawake newspaper man, who has traveled all over Europe and this continent, and who is now writing a column of "Off-Stage and On" for the New-York Herald Tribune, recently had to wait in line on a blistering Sunday morning while three Negroes ahead of him bought tickets for a Rockaway train for themselves and their picnic parties. When he got on the train, it seemed to him as if at least half of the passengers were more or less African. He described them thusly: Arthur Ruhl, a wideawake newspaper man, who has traveled all over Europe and this continent, and who is now writing a column of "Off-Stage and On" for the New York Herald Tribune, recently had to wait in line on a blistering Sunday morning while three Negroes ahead of him bought tickets for a Rockaway train for themselves and their picnic parties. When he got on the train, it seemed to him as if at least half of the passengers were more or less African. He described them thusly: And about all these people there was nothing quaint, comic or eccentric; nothing of the stencils through which the Afro-American is usually presented in the theater; nothing but their color, apparently, to distinguish them from any other cheerful crowd of Manhattan cockneys, escaping from their routine asphalt and concrete. They had their kodaks and thermos bottles, their straw hats and those bright triangular handkerchiefs, which girls wear over one shoulder wadays, their Sunday papers and magazines. In short, the town, the train, the beach, were theirs, as much as anybody else's, and none seemed minded to say them nay. The same evening, boarding a Fifth avenue stage, Mr. Ruhl found ten of the passengers inside, to be people of color, as he quaintly put it in did not count those on the roof, who probably made at least ten more. He described a comely young black woman THE AGE READERS' FORUM Frisco To Honokalu Via Steamer Matsonia By Mrs. MARTHA HILL BROWN Wife of Rev. J. W. Brown, Pastor Mother A. M. E. Zion Church. The seas were very heavy last November when we returned from our tour of the West Indies. We expected to see the steamer go to pacific, Cape Hatteras, and decided then, that would be our last trip abroad. The World's Sunday School con- vention was to meet in Los Angeles. We were asked to be a delegate or to be one among 10,000 delegates from all parts of the world. My husband forgetting that Honolulu was only a 7-days voyage from Pacific—and the lure of the sea and the convention. Confucius said "Good man loves the mountain, but wise man loves the sea." After spending several wonderful weeks in Los Angeles, and gaining twelve pounds, we sailed on the s. s. Matsonia for Honolulu. While in Frisco we were the guest of the Rev. Dr. Magruda and family. Mrs. Magruda and several friends visited, and we sailed, the deck steward before baskets of confetti for us to throw to our friends on the pier. It was a very pretty picture to see varicolored streamers floating from deck to friends, while the Hawaiian Band played "Aloha," their national hymn. Leaving Frisco we first passed Alcatraz, the military prison on a lonely island and some miles from Frisco. Most of the passengers re-entered the Golden Gates, or through two large mountains looking like molten gold. The luncheon going called us to the beautiful flower filled dining room. I was the only one of my group on board, but had as my table mate a widow from Chicago and a professor at Yale. She had attended Columbia and seemed to have a kindly feeling for all New Yorkers. After luncheon we went to the drawing room to listen to more Hawaiian music and write letters. Then to the cabin for rest and to dress for dinner. I went to dinner hour, the steamer ran into a squall. There were only ten in the dining room for dinner the rest of the passengers, including the writer, were feeding the fish. One man, between heaves, said: "I certainly would like to know the man who named the ocean pacific." In the morning when a sour-faced woman brought my tray, I knew immediately she was an American and disliked on me, so I said: "Aren't you from Mississippi?" She said "No, I am from the mountain of North Carolina" I said "Ouch." I could imagine her dear old fath er still making moonshine. But, we became friends and often I would find extra fruit in my state room, and always a pretty breakfast tray. The steward was a Filipino who had visited Harlem, and insisted on my getting him a Harlem bride. Said he had saved money and owned a car. The bell boy was from Kentucky, had been at sea four years, and wanted to be a bride. The motto of this steamer seems to be, "Efficiency, Service and By The Age Special Correspondent. (By Our Special Correspondent.) Strike News. The Bombay textile strike strikes on its dreary course and the workers are faced with starvation. Great discontent prevails among them. Large crowds gather at the dolesstations to receive their daily rations. The Joint Strike Committee have come to the end of their resources and have no money to pay the toll to be paid. All have hanned meetings outside. No processions are allowed, and for want of funds, daily meetings are avoided. The Bombay Municipal corporation have requested the Government of Bombay to appoint at an earliest opportunity, the Conciliatory Board. When stormy meetings are held at the Mill-Owners Association, and some of the members have been in jeopardy, Sasston group continue their obstinacy. All attempts are made to persuade the strikers to stick to their guns. 150,000 are starving. be granted with pay only granted if the worker in a year of the maximum of 15 days on the job will be reduced mum living wage to be Rs.23 to Rs.30.

His deduction from what he saw that "day was that "another more or less significant racial change seems to be taking place in our island Babel. And whatever its import, nobody seems excited or, indeed, to bother about it in the least." Probably that is one of the reasons why New York is such a great city to live in. Kindness" — Music, special programs, golf, archery, shuttle board, stock market in our daily ship paper, baseball scores, were some of the amusements on our busy program. A masquerade and hardtime dinner was given Saturday. Turkey and cabbage, roast duck and beans, were on the menu. Everybody had a big dinner and a bigger time. Sunday morning service was held in the hall. There was the minister on board, but the Hawaii an Governor conducted the service. After scripture and prayer, he gave a very impressive talk from the 23rd Psalms; said he had enjoyed sport for six days, but always paused on the seventh day to give service to his maker and to rest. A professor from an unnamable Japanese college gave "a 20-minute talk on the 'Growth of Japan,' and a 20-minute solo on 'Going Home.' This impressive service was closed by reciting the Lord's Prayer. At 1 o'clock we had a picnic on deck. All of the passengers were called on deck and picnic boxes filled with delicious food were given to each one. It was fun to see who had the pretiest box. Monday evening we had the "Captain's Banquet," and wore our picture on the table again covered with confetti and favors. Breakfast was served early: Tuesday morning so we could see the approach to the islands at the most beautiful time of the day, and then we emerged into sunshine and the beautiful waters of Hawaii, the playground and wonderland of the Pacific Ocean, set in such surpassing loveliness that our heart seemed to miss a beat. He laid out the land of a light-hearted people whose passion is music, of soft trade winds rustling through royal palms. Our voyage had ended, and sighs of relief were heard from some of the passengers. Some of them slept in the room, and some were dreadfully sick and gave all their meals to the fish; only the exceptional were particularly happy and wanted any thing to eat for one or two days. Then we began to eat up and get acquainted and to eat up the first meal. Brown boys came swimming out to meet us. They swarmed up the ropes, can along the deck, sleek and laughing, then dived from the captain's deck, turned, somersaults in the water, shaking their black hair, waiting for us to throw them dimes. Soon we heard the haunting strains of native music, and a greeting from the Hawaiian band. Something fragrant was shipped over our heads, and we were garped by the waitress, the "tel" with which Hawaiians from earliest times have welcomed their friends. There is nothing but thrills. Then you catch a glimpse of a Japanese woman in kimono and sand sash, trotting along with her baby on her back. Then a mighty flower, the door of the flowers. Then the impenetrable Chinese faces. Then beautiful dark Portuguese girls. Then I just couldn't look anymore, so for a rest we went to a quaint Japanese tea house, a bit of old Japan, where we took a tour of the doors, and sat or squatted at low table. Our hotel was next on the program for several weeks' stay in the hewitching City of the Pacific. be granted with pay.

Readers are well aware that Mr. Nariman was prosecuted in Bombay Court for making grave allegations that the higher authorities and the officials have taken brake in the Bombay Development Department. In spite of the verdict in the trial, the Government helped Mr. Harvey the engineer to launch the prosecution and paid the cost. As a result of further enquiry, four engineers are to be prosecuted. It is therefore doubly surprising that Government pay for Saturday, September 1, 1928 In Kelly Miller's column in the Boston Chronicle we find the following pithy definition of the term "illy white," as applied politically; "According to the New - Standard Dictionary, a lily white is a Southern Republican who is opposed to the Negro. The term originated during the days of reconstruction. In those days its significance was antinomic to "Black Republican." In accordance with more recent political parlance, lily white is contrasted of two black and white of two wide apart attitudes—the only indicative of the exclusive prerogative of the white Republican to rule party organization, while the other signifies the more tolerant spirit of cooperation of both races to desired political end. In the beginning of the reform of approach as violative of the sound faith and doctrine of the Grand Old Party. But in these later degenerate days it more or less typifies the normal Republican mind. In view of the importance accorded to the 'lilywhite element in the effort to reorganize the Republican party in the South, it is well to have this definition of the term by so skillful and profound a dialectician as Dr. Kelly Miller. The Gary American reprinted an editorial headed "Rick and Shovel Education" in its issue of August 17 with a line giving credit to the Washington Eagle. The Hartford Pilot printed the same article in its editorial columns the same week without any credit line. This is not the first time that the Hartford paper has violated journalistic ethics in this manner. With its numerous staff of seven directors, seven editors and managers and two corresponding editors, it should not be necessary for it to fish editorials from its contemporaries. Describing what it called "A Dark Day in Amsterdam," the Pittsburgh Courier said: The prize event of the Olympic games is the marathon race. This gruelling run of 26 miles, 385 yards is the supreme test of strength and stamina. Consequently the Nordics have for a long time come to expect one of their group to win it, in accordance with the oft-repeated assertion that the Caucasians excel the rest of the world in stamina. This year the huge American team went to the Olympic games at Amsterdam, Holland, quite confident that with such men as Jole Ray and Clarence De Mar running for them, the winning of simple class to say nothing of the lesser contests would be an easy matter. The athletes and coaches from the United States were quickly disillusioned about their superiority to the track teams of other nations on the track as Finns, Japanese and Germans raced over the finish line in the lead. But the great success of the runners was when the runners left the stadium. Jole Ray, was leading the pack, and the Americans sat back complacently, sure that they would leave them all behind. When, almost three hours later, the first runner flashed through the gate of the stadium, who should it be but E. Quail, who should it be but French Army in Algeria, and quite black in color! As the finish was reported: "The powerful muscles in his (El Quafli) black legs were called upon for a final burst of speed and he passed his competitors one by one. He went by Ray easily, the American, and his wearying legs" to give the final burst that would have given the United States Marathon supremacy. Some distance behind the African came a dark-skinned Chilian, then Finn, and following him a Japanese with fifth place in America, to other Nordic teams no better. So much for the superior stamina of the Nordics. With Prof. McKenzie asserting before the Institute of Politics at Williamstown, Mass., that "the concept that the Nordic is superior to the Oriental because he has more and larger industries, has no basis in science," the doctrine of Nordic superiority is again tottering. The Akron Independent, a recent accession to the ranks of the Negro press from Ohio, takes a squint at the political situation from various angles. It enumerated them in this wise: Mr Hoover makes bid for the Negro vote and John R. Hawkins, well known churchman is chosen to gather them in. Kelly Miller says we cannot expect consideration from either party. He advises the Negro to vote ter negligence in conducting the affairs, and to shield the grievances, and at the same time starts with the prosecution on persons who are not to be trailed!

His Lordship has the unenviable reputation of being hostile to Indian aspirations and his insolent republican contempt he contempts for Indian point of view should serve a gross disqualification if he aspires to hold the Madras Governorship or if the Tories want to get rid of him after the reshuffle of the general government should India suffer if His Lordship is clownship failure in the opposition Blahop Ramson says the Negro has only one alternative. He urges support of Al-Smith. Dr. DuBois, noted scholar, urges the Negro to vote for Norman Thomas, socialist. Helfin gives as one version what he cannot support Hoover or Smith as both, but both are friendly to the Negro and he fears if either is elected a Negro will be appointed to the Cabinet. The Negro in the South says we want Al Smith for President and will vote the Democratic ticket. The white South answers by saying we do not want your vote. The Negro in the South asks the Supreme Court of the United States says we can vote in the Democratic Party. Texas Court answers again and says, "We are running Texas, not the United States Supreme Court." Slemp and a Senator Simmons of New York join with Hoover, "We can deliver the Senate to you but we must keep the Negro of it," so Slemp and Simmons. Marcus Garvey from London, England. says "he can view the fight at a distance and urges the Negro to "go down the line for Smith." There is a variety of advice and opinion that should fit most, any demand of the doubtful voters. In a multitude of counselors, there is confusion. Answering the declaration of Governor Patterson, printed in the Memphis Commercial Appeal of August 4, that "this is a white man's country" the Memphis Triangle said in part: This is Our country! Gave god it; the Indians were first to possess it; Columbus, an Italian, discovered it; Sir Walter Raleigh and John Smith, both white men, vainly attempted to settle it. Until a slave ship came from Africa, they gave it to the forest giver, give it to habitation of man; did the virgin earth unfold the secret of its production; did the light of civilization dawn in a new world. I cleared the forest, tilled the fields, built barracks and forts, and carrying my half of the load, laid with you, the foundation of future mankind—white or black Jew or Gentile, Catholic or Protestant. When assailed by George III, a white man wrote the Dedication of Independence; a colored man, Cripus Attucks, was first to die that these declarations might survive. When dissension to us assemble and duty was not clear to us, we were forced to protect the sanctity of your home on the other side. I rode by your side in Cuba with the mighty, Teddy; I climbed Sas Juan Hill while being mowed low like grass, defying shot and shell determined to plant Old Glory or we. I went ahead of you into the deut mountains of Mexiko and died like a dog in search of the National Bandit Wolf, whose life was an insult to our government and a disgrace to mankind. I across the sea to the behest of the immortal Woodrow Wilson I have lived in no man's land; I have known the horrors of trench life. Nature has grown a poppy as a memory, to where she has grown one岁 as a monument to you. I have both sacrificed, we have both died for the country is which we live. How then, is this a white man country? It also tells of the contribution of Negro labor in times of peace which has helped to make the United States the greatest and richest country in the world. Referring to ex-Governor Cameron of North Carolina in his plan to his fellow citizens to support Governor Smith for President, the Palmetto Leader of Columbia, S. C. quoted the ex-Governor as saying: "Can a Catholic citizen be required to serve his nation in war, pay taxes and undertake the other obligations of citizenship and then be disfranchised because of his religion? That is not religion. That's just plain meanness." It added: With those sentiments, we believe most fair-minded people will agree Catholics perform their share of the duties and responsibilities incumbent upon them as American citizens. When this country years ago was the question of whether a man was a Catholic or not warrior no consideration when Catholics drop their dollars, in the form of taxes in the government's bills, no questions about those dollars are asked. Truly then to require and accept the performance of duties deny the privileges it not moralize so good Religion should not so far be a dividing line. What about race Can a Negro citizen be required to serve his nation in war, pay taxes and undertake the other obligations of citizenship and then be disfriended because of his race (if course, it's being done wrong); or is it right to religion? Governor Morris does not think of that side but every fair-minded, intelligent man must say "That's not religion That's just plain meanness." To justis such by weak excuses does not make it right either. Slavery was so justified in the end at a fearful price and indeed was wrong, the contrary notwithstanding. What kind of man is he anyway that demands for himself the very things he denies his fellow man? If such men as the former Governor of North Carolina can bring about tolerance of religious differences, perhaps tolerance of race CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Grace Church of Harlem The inclement weather kept a good many of the members at home, but a fair sized congregation attended the morning service, still on his vacation and the The pastor, Garner is morning service was in charge of W. Herbert King, summer asso- Mr. King took as his subject, "Jesus the Messiah," and the theme of his sermon was that the Jewish people expected that Christ would appear in royal garments from the temple of kings instead of the humble and obscure origin from which He came and so because of this they could not give Him the love and homage due Him in spite of His wonderful love and great love to light Jesus for the same reason. In the absence of the choir, which is on a well-earned vacation the singing was done by the congregation. Miss Olivia Hunter, who has been a choir member, taking Miss Jeter's place in the organ. There were two tanzor solos by Charles Pinkney, "Open the Gates to the Temple," and I am so glad that trouble don't last always. Mr. Pinkney has a pleasing voice sang exceedingly well, especially the Spiritual number. In response to the fellowship invitation, Mrs. Emma Boisson, 163 West 14th street, who comes from the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church of Washington, D. C., expressed a desire to unite with Grace Church, and will be given the right hand of fellowship when the pastor returns Sunday. The vespers were well attended, and after the usual prayer and song service, conducted by W. Herbert King, the service was turned over to Senoria Melita Fuentes, who appeared in the costume of her native country, gave an interesting talk, and sang 'Folk songs.' Her singing was accompanied by the art played by Lorenz Graham of Liberia, Africa who gave a short talk on African Music. Mrs. Elizabeth H. Davis, read her poem, which has won recognition from the Mexican Consul. Vesper Service next Sunday will be in charge of the Young Men's Club, Barrington Dumbar, soloists, group leaders and group leaders held a special meeting on Monday evening to plan the winter work. The Smaller Boy's Club is growing. Church school will request September 2, at 1:15 p.m. Wednesday evening prayer service at 8:30 p.m. Dr. A. C. Garner returned from his vacation three days ahead, of time, and surprised those to be invited guests by appearing at that service. Mt. Olivet Baptist Church There was a large attendance to the morning service at Mount Olivet | Baptist Church, Sunday, August 26. **B6.** The sermon was preached by B. W. Hayes. The theme of his discourses "As the eagle stirreth up her nest," the Lord has different ways in stirring up His people. He wants us to be out in service for Him, and he will keep us up with his everlasting arms, as the eagle stretcheth her wings under the sun. The sermon was very powerful and penetrating. At the evening service a solo was excellently rendered by Tillman Forlace. The sermon was preached by Rev. W. H. Booker. The text was selected from John H. Hooker, that they might have life and that they abundantly. He dwell on the advantage of having the power of Jesus, Christ; and to be a true follower of Him, should have no fear when he comes to take us into the other world. The discourse was touching and its appeal. For people who church and the collections for the day amounted to $336.85. Emanuel A. M. E. Church Sunday, August 26, was observed as Men's Day and it proved to be a great day at Emanuel. In the morning the pastor made a masterful sermon from the steed of the Throne that mindful of him." After a brief story of the creation of Man, Rev. Nicholas dwelt, for the most part, upon the fact that man is master of his fate. He used as a practical application of this fact the recent subway wreck, showing that it was a result of God, but that it was a result of one man's deliberate carelessness. Sunday school and the Allen Christian Endeavor League, were held at their regular hour and both were well attended in spite of the trau. At the evening service, Rev. Benjamin Arnett of Chester, Fla., braced an instructive sermon. The music for the day was furnished by the male chorus under direction of Herbert Allen. All departments of the church awake and under the leadership of our well prepared young pastor are marching on to victory. On Friday night, August 31, we begin a one-week revival Sunday, September 2, communion will be travel morning and evening. St. James Pres. Church The regular morning service during the absence of the pastor was conducted by the Rev. J. T. Colbert assisted by Elder Brooks of St. James. A large number of members and friends were present. Dr. Colbert preached an interning sermon from the 6th chapter of Christians 14th verse, "But God希望 that I should glory, save in the Church I am as Christ by whom the world is trusted unto me and I unto the world." The Cross, Dr. Colberts pointed out, was a symbol of pride, honor and glory. The Church today is in great need of the cross of Christ. The Cross to the Romans meant a symbol of shame and disgrace. But Paul gloried in the crucifixion which our Christ suffered. The three members joined, Miss Lovelle Rogers, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Richardson. After the service 'Miss Maude Berrick, Fred daughter of Mrs. Mrs. Fred Derrick, was baptized. On 'Sunday coming the evening service will be led by the Young People Society of Christian Endeavor. Paradise Baptist Church There was a fairly large attendance to hear the morning service at Paradise Baptist Church. Rev. Brown spoke briefly from the first St. John, 6 verse. "And there was a St. John, 6 verse. "And whose name was John, "Subject, "A God Sent Man". He said that John's light showed so strongly into the world that many people believed that he was the Christ Who should come to say the Christ. But John told them that he was the coming of the Lord Jesus and to baptize. His works stirred the whole town and his power proved to the people that God had sent him. In like manner we who are God to preach His word should keep from so spoiless from the, world that a good man look upon us as a God sent man or woman. At the evening hour, there was a goodly number to hear Rev. Brown preach from the 37th Ezekiel, 4-5 verses. "O ye dry hear, hear the word of the Lord." Rev. Brown spoke of how Pharaoh and his host had hardened their hearts toward the children of Israel and how the Lord caused the Israelites to cross the Red Sea after being lifted from the land of the oppressor, Pharaoh, had forgotten what God had done for them, and what God could do. They began to complain. The rebellious people became dry bones when they lost the Grace of God. But regardless of how dry one's bones may have gotten through sin, they could still repent, for God is able to make him alive again in the spirit. As he made those skeletons become living souls. St. Martin's Chapel The 11. o'clock service was well attended, having as its minister for the month of August, Rew. Samuel W. Grice, warden of the Bishop Payne. Divinity School, Petersburg, Va. The price used as his text, "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." It was brought out quite plainly the innumerable spheres in life in which we may grow, but until we have attained that superior growth, the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, which is the spiritual sphere in life, all other growth is yet inferior. The services for next Sunday will be communion at 9 and 11 and vespers at 4:30. The choir will give a musical in the parish rooms on Friday evening September 7. All are welcome. Rush Memorial Church The pastor, Dr. G. M. Oliver, preached a timely and applicative sermon last Sunday morning, selecting as a text for the basis of his remorse, "Lord, to whom shall hast the hast the words of eternal life" The unsettled condition, generally of the world today compels the people to often stop in their daily walk of life, and because of the personal experiences, which hinder the clouds hang very low over them, they find themselves, asking the question presented in the text, and seeking an answer for same. And although vigorous search has been made, and numerous answers have been given, the question Jesus Christ is the only one to whom we can go for-succor, and for comfort and for peace, and for all those things that-tend to lift us above sin and doubt and place us in a realm of joy and everlasting life. Although we cannot find and material things will pass away, but the companionship of Him who speaks the words of eternal life is the only real association that has been tried and found worthy of retaining. The evening ceremony was 'delivered' and the Holy Communion will be served next Sunday at 3 o'clock. Bethel A. M. E. Church Sunday was a busy day in Bethel The congregation at the Morning Service, had the pleasure of having the Rev. B. W. Arnett, former pastor of Bethel, and now of Pennsylvania preach to them. Dr. Arnett spoke from "Peter the Speaker," his first test and then enjoyed the sermon. At 2 p.m. the church school convened. The Young People's Department of the church school is growing by leaps and bounds. The first anniversary of the Henry K. Spearman Memorial Clinic was observed on Thursday evening, at the University of Michigan. Dr. Gustavus Henderson, chief of staff, acted as master of ceremonies and outlining the work that has been accomplished during the year. Mrs. Lankin spoke of the conditions that impressed her to establish her life and work for humanity that manifested itself in the life of Dr. Spearman, whose memory will be perpetuated through the clinic. She also thanked the spasitor, Dr. Sanders, for encouragement and financial help given the staff. She will give an interesting talk. Dr. Sanders gave words of encouragement and appreciation to the staff. We are grateful to J. Milton Jenkins for WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH --- St. Paul Bapt. Church Many pastors have enjoyed a much needed vacation during the summer, and especially during the month of August. They will be returning for the first of September, refreshed and invigorated for their another twelve months. The church has given them for them to take this much needed rest will benefit from the increased strength that these men of God have gathered while away. The pastor of St. Paul has been one who had to tarry by the stuff for these past two summers, having given all his energy to the matter of securing a new house of worship. The church has been reached, and St. Paul is housed in a modern building equipped for church purposes. There are, of course, a few more things to be done, but they are all being done, and the church expects to be able to receive and entertain friends during the month of October. But as modern as not the largest, is yet as modern as any we have seen. BAPTIST UNION BAPTIST CHURCH-240 W. 14th St. S. Sunday School 9 a.m. Sunday School 10 a.m. Sunday each month.

James B. Adams, the pastor, being out of town, Rev. Henry Uffelin, of Brooklyn, a missionary to Jamaica, B. W. I., under the Jamaica Baptist Mission, sent a message in the allegorical style to the consciences of the people of Corinth Church 'last Sunday morning.' He used the story of Samson going on a journey, encountering and killing the lion, and returning to find the carcas inhabited by bees. The speaker said the church is a hive filled with bees simulating the dead body of the world as its shields, and it Honey, the faith of the church, is a hive product. Not one bee alone makes honey, not one Christian alone builds the church. There is a qiuenne bee with attendants, nectar gatherers, and other workers There is Jesus with ministers, deacons, deaconess, etc. There are robber bees, to lazy work, who eat honey made by industrious bees who get put out of church and proselyte its members. Samson came back and found honey, found that the bees had enriched everything they touched. Jesus Christ is coming back expecting to find faith, a builted church and the world enriched by the touch of his Christians. At evening service Mr. Uifeln preached again on the coming of Christ. The soloist, Mrs. S. Dorothy Etheridge, sang with clearness, of death, with tenderness enunciation and appeal. Soleil René, accompanied on the organ by John H. Gralle. Cooper, superintendent of the Sunday service, announced its opening at nine-thirty; the first Sunday in September. Discrimination In The South Found By Dodson Discrimination In The South Found By Dodson Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: I returned Wednesday from a three days trip to Old Point Comfort, Hampton and Phoebe, Virginia. My objective point, however, about the miles beyond Old Point. I spent a whole day observing conditions among our people in the towns above mentioned. With the glow and inspiration of the session of the National Negro Business League held ten days ago in my home city (New York), I am filled with the accomplishment Sheba on returning from her visit to King Soloman. "The half has never been told" of the real progress the race is making under the most trying circumstances. Nor has the half yet been told of the awful, heart rending and humiliating discrimination practiced against the people in public places, public conveyances and government buildings in charge of southern whites. "After sitting on the stone embankment at Fortress Monroe for an hour and a half, enjoying the balmy, yet fresh and cooling sea breeze, I became thirsty, I inquired about the shoes, my shoes, just before I went to the beach, where could I get a drink of water, He said, "In the little stationery and candy store near the Pennsylvania Railroad station, but you will have to come outside to drink it." Then I asked "Is there any place here where I can telegram?" "There is a Western Union telegraph office right there in the Chamberlain-Vanderbilt Hotel," he said, "but you can't go in there." At this time I saw a trolley car coming "Can I go to Hampton on that car," asked. Yet he said, but don't go beyond the fourth seat from the rear—the other part of the car is for white folks." After returning from Hampton I bought my ticket for New York from Old Point. I went over on the boat to Cape Charles. There was a large crowd of colored passengers and all were segregated in a small space on the forward part on the boat where the camp chairs and tables were placed in one corner of the boat at the bottom where they serve meals to colored people is as dirty- filthy—worse than a hog pen. I was hungry, so I went down and ail the "Toboggan" like the rest. From Cape Charles to New York all the Colored passengers were put in one coach, completely segregated in like South Carolina and Georgia and New York in the "Great Pennsylvania Railroad. It was my first time that far below the Mason and Dixon Line in thirty years, and excuse me, N. B. DODSON ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM Lieut. Fred W. Simpson, bandmaster of the Monarch Band, I, B. P. O. E. of W., had contracted it, is alleged, with Mr. Fagan, one of the persons interested in the Savoy Ball room on Lenox avenue, New York, to play a 2-hour concert in a ball room in Chicago on the night previous to the grand ball to be given by the Elks at their convention. As the Elks were giving their concert and grand ball at the same hall, on hearing of the lieutenant's contract with Mr. Fagan, they strenuously objected to their bandmaster and band playing for Mr. Fagan at such a time. But Mr. Fagan, buoyed his signed contract, appealed to the bandmaster 802, requesting the local to compel bandmaster Simpson to fulfill his contract. On investigation, it was found that the contract contained clause that it should be countered by Chicago Local 208 to make it bind. The Chicago local had not so countered so the Monarch Band cannot be compelled to play for Mr. Fagan. Again, there is a little matter of an additional 30 per cent to the prevailing Chicago prices, mentioned in the contract, which apparently was not reached as an issue. The Elks' confining their argument to the countersigning clause was enough to convince Local 802 that Lieut. Simpson and the, Monarch Band could not play a concert for Mr. Fagan one night before the Elks Grand Lodge concert and ball, possibly to their financial detriment. Ford Dahney and an orchestra of singers and players were participants in a distinguished concert recently, when Vineet Astor, the well known society millionaire, took his specially built, yacht to Newport. The yacht, christened the "Nourani," was built in Germany, launched and sent to New London, Conn., and has the reputation of being the last award in Yacht building. Mr. Dahney and his musicians went to New London, met Mr. Astor and his guests on board the yacht, and entertained them on their voyage to Newport. The festivities consumed two days. We have of course Dahney feels himself signally honored to be called upon to entertain the distinguished party on this memorable occasion which was actually the maiden voyage of the yacht. Business is slack and musicians are willing to take a chance at anything that looks like a job, a job, and argue about it, in contravention of an code that pertains to saue and manal dealings. The remarks are caused by an incident that happened a few weeks back. A Saxophone player was booked on a job. He secured a second job which promised more money. He spoke to another sax player, who had a second job, thing was fine; he had covered the first job and the second job out of town gave visions of two days work and plenty "dough." But wait; the second job flunked, would he content himself on his manger? He had given the job onward but he would take it hack. So a note was left in their club house, cancelled the musician he had given the job. The cancelled man refused to he cancelled. Argument, threats, they both went on the job. The leader of the job knew nothing, and recognized the men he had booked—the hard loser. Both saxophone players played the job, the hard loser got the pay. The cencelled player is holding the bag because the job from the start war illestimate and outside the pale of the laws of Local 802, and if he brought a charge, everyone who played the job, in cluding himself, would be killed by the militant. State of musicia is strong and bitter against a man who would give a brother, musician a job and take it back. Vacation Playground 119 Ends Successful Season Vacation Playground 119 Ends Successful Season * Vacation * Playground 119; B. F. Vaughn, principal, 133rd street near 88th avenue, has had a splendid season. It has appealed to the children of Harlem with a varied program, including, not only games and sports, but work, handicraft, modelling, educational trips to points of interest. The teaching staff is composed of Mr Vaughn; Harvey C. Jackson, teacher of physical education for boys; Miss Elizabeth Johnson, instructor of physical education girls; Dris Villiers, kindergarten activities, and Miss C. Williams, school musician. The boys enjoyed a splendid season in basketball, baseball and track sports. The basketball stars were Emanuel Welters, captain; Fred Harwell, Richard Terry, Theodore Ahner, Bert Turner, Richard (Bebe) Harwell and Louis Kelsey. The baseball team stood up well against fine competition. The regulars were Maynard, captain; E. WELTON, Loisse, Eric; Erie Buehl, Baldwin, James Evans, Red Richter, Richard Terry and James Motley. In handwork the boys became skilled: Hundreds of toys and models were shown at the public exhibition for vacation playgrounds at U. S. 27. 27. Stanley Bollin won a prize for most useful and 'skillful carpentry, with Richard. Harwell, second. The girls, under Misses Johnson and Willains, had sewing, basketry and soap modelling. Successful track meets and jacks tournaments were held. Some of the girls developed ability in playing in playground management. That marion Marion Latham, Anna Webb, Catharine Alston.

HAROLD, HOPPER. Bordentown, N. J.—The men's singles title of the American Tennis Association was taken on Saturday by Edgar G. Brown of Chicago, Ill. Brown defeated Theodore Thompson of New York in a thrilling five set match by a score of 3-6; 6-4, 6-1, 3-6; 6-2. Brown was Thompson's master throughout the entire match. Brown's comeback was one of merit, after having been out of the game for two years. Brown was the National Champion in 1922 and 1923. His victory gives him permanent possession of the Dr. H. S. McCard Trophy on which Thompson also held two legs. In the semi-final round Brown eliminated the 1927 champion E. Smith in a well fought match. Too much can not be said of Brown's court generalship and sportmanship, a stilting example of the later was demonstrated in the fourth set when Ted slipped in returning a ball near the side line Brown instead of taking immediate advantage of his opponent's position, played an easy stroke allowing Thompson to return to position before completing the rally. This act brought the gallery to their feet with thundering applause. Reggie Weir Wins Junior Title. The singles championship was regained by Miss Lulu Ballard of Philadelphia who outstroked her opponent Miss Isadora Channels of Roancke, Va., formerly of Chicago, Ill. Miss Channels was the 1927 champion and Miss Ballard had held the title two years previous to this thereby gaining permanent possession of the B. M. Rhetta Trophy. The score was 9-7; 6-3. The junior title went to Reginald Weir of New York, who is a tall youngster of nearly 6-feet, who defeated his Lilliputian opponent Alfred Walker, Baltimore, Md. The score was 6-1; 6-4.

Eddie Cantor and George Olsham, both of whom sat in the first row watching the show, jumped up with several others down in front in an effort to help Robinson, but Allie Ross, the orchestra leader, leaned over and caught Robinson in time to prevent him perhaps from tumbling into the orchestra pit. The bruised Robinson, somewhat dazed managed, to walk off the stage. The applause by this time was terrific and Robinson answered each round of applause with a bow. He finally showed his gameness by finishing his routine and doing two additional encores. Dr. Alexander Luria, Eddie Canton's personal physician, was in the audience and attended Robinson backstage. He found the tap dancer had brushed both legs and had wrenched his left shoulder. Robinson however, went on in his scheduled number with Adelaide Hall fifteen minutes later. Robinson is practically fully recovered at the present time and it is for this reason that Lew Leslie, producer of "Blackbirds" is making public the announcement of his accident.

The suggestion that the next heavyweight eliminations be held in secret or, better still, massed into a battie royal of all of the contenders, the slaughter to be staged in a sealed subcellar, seems to have met with Considerable favor with all but Mr. Tex Rickard and a few other promoters. Mr. William P. Cassidy, an earnest student of the many art of modified murder, who can go back much farther than I can, writes: "It's a queer old world. The easiest way out seems usually the 'longest way round' with most of us. Assuming such to be the case, it further appears to me there is just as much chance of the State Boxing Commission adopting your altogether logical, sensible suggestion that the aspirants to the heavyweight crown, so gracefully doffed by Mr. Gene Tunney, be put to the acid test in fighting it out at one supreme (or otherwise) fell swoop in private, along seemingly unprotracted 'survival-of-the fittest' line sae there was of Jack Johnson accepting Jim Jeffrie's gentle and politely couched invitation. This was that they have themselves pent in the cellar of Jim's Spring Street, LosAngeles, cafe and then and there, once and for all, determine, through the logical process of the survivor's ability to ultimately make his way unassisted to the festive precincts above who had the more valid claim to the heavyweight title then held—apparently, both technically and tentatively for the time being—by Tommy Burns's ebony-hued conqueror. "To go back still farther than the seemingy remote period during which the Negro boxer of the 'golden smile' and deft fists evinced shrinking violet' propensities along the lines indicated, Johnson had distinguished precedent for his modest and unassuming behavior under what must have been singularly trying, if not embarrassing, circumstances, no less a peronage than the late John L. Sullivan having suddenly become seemingly overwhelmed for the moment by something of an acute anti-climax of taciturnity of altogether surprising dimensions following a considerably pronounced, voluble outburst of bellicosity in the general direction of one Peter Jackson, the black Sir Galahad of the pugilistic world of the '90s, against whom Sullivan had engendered an overplus of amosity, due to the fact the great Negro boxer persisted in politely, but none the less firmly, insisting the white 'champion of champions' vindicate his presumptive right to possession of both heavyweight premiership honors and the highfalutin' appulation by accepting his repeated challenges for a match involving the title. "The incident, typifying the circumstances attaching to John L.'s display of impatience, ill humor and exasperation over the persistence of the 'black menace' of his day and ring reign in repeatedly challenging him or any other boxer, white or colored, to joust in the hempen-bound lists with him—despite Sullivan's oft-reiterated utimatums to the effect that he would never fight a 'naygur—closely paralleled the historic outside-the-ropes meeting of Jeffries and Johnson. "Jackson was appearing at a Chicago theatre at the time—back early in 1891—preceding his sixty-one round 'no contest' fight with Jim Corbett. His act, if memory serves aight, comprised a three-round exhibition bout with the original George Godfrey ("Old Chocolate"), whom he had previously stopped in twenty-seven rounds—or meeting any-one who aspired to put on the gloves with him. THE COLOR LINE by the way, antedated Jackson as a black but was against 'Old Chocolate,' a superlative man contradistinction to George Dixoff, 'Little giant heavyweight champion originally drew on, the by now considerably deferred facts and by Jimmy Wakeley, with Charley Johnston, Williamson, the Porthos-like shortstop of the 'do-the-town' pal of the 'big fellow') and at night of Jackson's engagement, while I being through the motions—a better thing to any of the present-day eliminations. Exhibition bout concluded, 'Charles ('Parson), stepped to the footlights and spoke his piece concerning Jackson's willingness to call-comers—of any creed, a color or previous as a commotion all over the house as David the stage directly facing the pugilistic rooftop portion of his oration directly at Sullivan. "Godfrey, by the way, antedated Jackson as a black challenger of Sullivan, and it was against 'Old Chocolate,' a superlatively clever box er, so dubbed in contradiction to George Dixoff, 'Little Chocolate'—the then regnant heavyweight champion originally drew the color line "However, the by now considerably deferred facts are that Sullivan, accompanied by Jimmy Wakeley, with Charley Johnston, his principal backer; Ed Williamson, the Porthos-like shortstop of the Chicago club (an occasional 'do-the-town' pal of the 'big fellow') and others, entered a box the first night of Jackson's engagement, while Peter and Godfrey were going through the motions—a better thing to look upon, at that, than many of the present-day eliminations. "As the exhibition bout concluded, 'Charles ('Parson') Davies, Jackson's manager, stepped to the footlights and spoke his long-known-by heart' little piece concerning Jackson's willingness to essay modified murder with all-comers—of any creed, color or previous condition of servitude. "There was a commotion all over the house as Davies, walking to a position on the stage directly facing the pugilistic royal box, directed the postulate portion of his oration directly at Sullivan. Sullivan's Proposal eyes in the house focused on him, then on the face. His gray eyes turned black. Rising to his feet, Sullivan glowered aliens, then blurted out the corner of his mouth this thing right here and now. Come down under the stage and see who staysence appeared at the seething point—gr strong men almost wept—but the sleek, 'o, who always seemingly had an 'ace in the of conditions and circumstances—was, as "With all eyes in the house focused on him, the 'big fellow' became purple in the face. His gray eyes turned black and he seemed fit to burst. Rising to his feet, Sullivan glowered alternately at Jackson and Davies, then blurted out the corner of his mouth: "Let's settle this thing right here and now. Come on, Jackson, you and me'll go down under the stage and see who stays there." "The audience appeared at the seething point—great excitement prevailed and strong men almost wept—but the sleek, suave, self-contained 'parson', who always seemingly had an 'ace in the hole' under any and all variety of conditions and circumstances—was, as usual, master of the situation "Why under the stage—why not on it?" he interrogated. 'Let's not deprive all these nice people here of the thrill of seeing the passing of a champion who won't defend his title. We close here Saturday night. Go home, John, pull yourself together and come back here then. Peter'll accommodate you as much as, if not more than, you wish, but on the stage, not under.' "Which, all considered, was very much the sentiments entertained by Johnson when somewhat similarly confronted by what the late Grover Cleveland once termed 'a condition—not a theory.' Only Johnson, who was a man of few words, at least on the occasion of the Spring Street vape crisis, expressed himself much more briefly, if not just as forcefully and to the point "Ah aht ncel celer fighter, Mistah Jeff," he said, with inimitable but unmistakable emphasis. "There was no come-back on the part of Sullivan or Wakeley to the suggestion of Davies. Both seemed nonplussed and at a loss what to say or do. A considerable pause followed the "parson's' Demosthenic preamble. It was broken by Sullivan suddenly arising, and he and his party precipitately retired it extended, not to say more-or-less broken, formation Davies watched their retiring forms a moment. Then with an eloquent motion, he rang down the curtain." AMERICA'S UNRIVALLED ! REVUE !

Johnny Hudgins Joins Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" Johnny Hudgins, the international comedy star, who is acclaimed successor to the late Bert Williams as the greatest exponent of Negro comedy in America, will join Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928" at the Liberty Theatre on Monday evening, September 3. Hudgins returned to America only a few weeks ago after a triumphant tour of the European capitals where he entertained royalty and society by his inimitable mimicry for several years. Contracts already signed were to bring him back to London for a continuance of the success he made there last year, but Lew Leslie prevailed upon him to join "Blackbirds." This marks his first appearance in a Broadway revue in three years. Hudgins, during his stay at the Ambassadeurs in Paris, became a friend of the Prince of Wales, the late King of Roumania, the King of Spain and Prince Carol of Roumania, as well as European and American notables. The Prince of Wales was so struck by his mimic artistry and his funny dancing feet that he invited Hudgins to Buckingham Palace, where Hudgins "personally taught him the intricacies of the Charleston." Hudgins first came to the attention of the Prince of Wales when Lew Leslie co-starred him with the late Florence Mills in the original London production of "Blackbirds" last year. Hudgins will offer several pantomimic specialities in the current "Blackbirds," including "A Tale of Woe," "Who's on the Telephone?" a slow motion picture conception of a man skating, and his conception of an imaginable dancing partner in a ballroom as originally created by the late Bert Williams In adding Johnny Hudgins to "Blackbirds of 1928" Lew Leslie is creating a Broadway precedent, "Blackbirds" is conceded to be the biggest success of any Negro revue that has ever played on Broadway. Wise managers never touch a show when it reaches the hit proportions that "Blackbirds" has. And yet, Lew Leslie, always ready to defy traditions, adds a tower of 'strength' by putting Johnny Hudgins in a show already packed with outstanding stars in the world of the Negro theatre such as Adelaide Hall, Bill Robinson, Ada Ward and Tim Moore. "In his lme," said Lew Leslie, "Johny Hudgins is the peer. I wanted him originally for my production of "Blackbirds of 1928" but previous contractual arrangements precluded the possibility of his coming to New York. Now that he is here I cannot permit him to return to London, even though it is at a tremendous expense to me "Blackbirds" is a great show at the present time. With Johny Hudgins it will be the greatest.

Lon Chaney In "Shadows" At The Roosevelt Theatre THEATRICAL JOTTINGS "GOIN' HOME" "Goin' Home" opened Thursday, August 23, at the Hudson Theatre, New York City. According to my way of thinking, it a good play. It deals with the idea of a few soldiers who are preparing to embark for the U. S. A. The parts are capably acted by an equally capable cast. The whole thing centers around the action of soldiers who are happy over the thought of going home. The work of Mr. Richard Hale is "unusually fine. It is not often that a white man can play a Negro part with such naturalness," satisfaction and finish—the parts are usually over done and fall short of the way that a Negro is accustomed to expressing himself. Happily for Mr. Hale, he is an exception to the rule. The colored members of the cast are there with plenty of pep and snap. Among those deserving of favorable mention are Leo Bailey and Brevard Burnett, who are purveyors of their usual brand of comedy. Fred Jennings is there with his inimitable manipulation of the banjo; Clarence Redd as a Senegalese is most worthy; Thomas Moseley as a deserter from the army does his part in a manner quite in keeping with his record as a dramatic artist. The show bids fair for a long run. Ethel Waters, the Queen of Blues singers, was the hit of the bill at the Keith Albee Palace Theatre, New York City. She opened Monday and stopped the show.

WHITE THE ELKINS' DEXTRA NEGRO CHORUS AND HAMMERSTEIN'S 'GOLDEN DAWN' The fact that Oscar Hammerstein II has called rehearsals for the fall revival of his show, "Golden Dawn," which had a successful run last season, and that he has summoned members of what was known last year as the Elkins Dextral Negro Chorus, and has not called Mr. Elkins himself, has given rise to conjecture and emphasized reports that have been floating around during the summer to the effect that the Hammerstein management is at odds with Mr. Elkins. Inquiry as to these matters has brought information which seems to substantiate reports as to there being differences between Elkins and the management; but it does not confirm reports that Mr. Elkins has treated his singers with anything but the most serpulous fairness. Well authenticated advices point rather to the fact that Mr. Elkins is being made a martyr because he was man enough to protest against remarks directed by Reginald Hammerstein, nephew to the impressario, toward a group of colored women singers who were called to the theatre last winter to augment the regular group in an after-theatre broadcasting in interest of the Florence Mills Memorial Home. The weather being bitterly cold on this particular night, Mr. Elkins had brought the singers, some four or five, who arrived before the regular show had ended, into the building and placed them in a secluded section, out of the way of the theatre activities, but where they would be protected from the weather. And it was in protection of these women against the rancor and insulting anger of Reginald Hammerstein, that Mr. Elkins incurred the elder Hammerstein's animosity. And it was only the fact that Mr. Elkins' had a contract for "run of the show," an contract protected by the Chorus Equity Association, that prevented the emity thus incurred to force him from the show last season. And this contract also prevented Oscar Hammerstein from venting his anger upon a group of four of the Elkins singers, men who refused to obey orders to do things outside the sphere of their duty and not in keeping with their standing as artists, when the pressario ordered their peremptory dismissal following their refusal. By virtue of his contract, which put the power of dismissal only into Mr. Elkins' hands, the Hammerstein edict was defied and the men remained with the Chorus until the show closed in the spring. It would seem, to the ordinary observer, that such protective attitudes would have been calculated to develop a spirit of loyalty to the leader and director on part of the members of the Chorus, but this seems not to be the case. For as the summer is ending, it seems that Hammerstein, whose henchmen had taken steps to secure the home addresses of each individual singer, sent for the singers and is employing them for the coming season as individuals, which, of course, they are agreeing to. Reporis had it at last hearing that they have been called for rehearsals from time to time but that they had been given no definite idea as to what their salaries would be. Complaints from certain sources have been heard to the effect that Elkins had ruthlessly discharged members of the group who incurred his displeasure, without regard to right or equity, and that he withdrew from others the salary to which they were entitled by virtue of the lump sum received from Hammerstein for service of the Chorus. With regard to the dismissal charge, this reviewer had a talk with one dismissed singer, in which the singer declared that he had refused to attend rehearsals of the Dextra Negro Chorus, when called by Elkins, and that he had been fired for that reason. A copy of the contract shows that each singer, in being engaged as a member of the group, engaged himself in the following language: "The artist further, agrees, as a member of Elkins' Dextra Negro Chorus to attend regularly and punctually all rehearsals called by the Director, with the view to attaining the highest point in ensemble singing, thereby enabling the Director, through his agent, to secure engagements that will tend to increase the commercial side of the Chorus." Under this agreement, therefore, failure to attend rehearsals constituted a violation of the agreement and dismised would appear to be justified. Incidentally, I have seen the actual contract signed by the artist referred to. With regard to the accusation that he had withheld from members of the Chorus money that Hammerstein had paid for them, Mr. Elkins was asked if he cared to make a statement concerning the matter. In reply, Mr. Elkins said that the basis for this accusation lay in a report circulated by some of his enemies among the Hammerstein menhich who told members of his Chorus that Hammerstein was paying Elkins a definite sum per artist, which sum they were not receiving. This charge, false in its application, could only come, he said, from the fact that his contract with Hammerstein called for the services of twenty-six people, INCLUDING ELKINS AS DIRECTOR AND MANAGER, for which a stated sum was to be paid weekly for the "run of the show." Mr. Elkins, to prove the truth of his contention, has submitted a statement, listing the members of his group and the amounts for which they signed contracts. Under rules of the Chorus Equity Association, individual members of a chorus must be paid not less than $10 per week while playing in town, nor less than $35 a week out of town. A study of the salary list submitted by Mr. Elkins shows that only one woman singer had signed for $40 a week, but that two others, who had signed for $35, were really paid $40 as per a personal promise. Four who had signed for $30, the Equity minimum, were paid $35, and five others were paid $35 as per their original contract. The twelve women were paid a total of $435. Ten men were paid $40 per week, and three were paid $35, as per their contracts, and Mr. Elkins, manager and director, was put down at $100. This made a total of $605 for the men, or $1,040 for the entire group. The contract with Hammerstein, procured through an agent, Mr. Samuel, called for a total of $1,170, or at the rate of $45 per week each for 26 people. But from this sum had to be deducted a 10 per cent commission to the agent, a legitimate and absolutely necessary charge, and so when this $117 was deducted from the gross sum there remained $1,033 as the net salary, or just $13 above the total salary list, which added to the $100 originally set down, gave a total of $113 to Mr. Elkins. And even the most acrimonious and narrow-minded of his opponents will, or ought to admit that $113 is a reasonable salary for a Director of Elkins' ability, experience and musically attainment. But the fact remains that the individual members of last year's group are going as individuals to take part in rehearsals for the forthcoming revival of "Golden Dawn," without regard for Director Elkins. JULIUS BLEDSOE RECOVERING FROM OPERATION FOR ACUTE APPENDICITIS At the very moment Wednesday night, August 22, when his understated was singing "OP Man River," his unforgettable song of the New York pain and woe, Jules Bledsoe, colored star of Ziegfeld's "Show Boat" was on the thin line that divides life and death, in the operational room of Post Graduate Hospital, in the Gramercy section. He was suffering acute appendicitis, and only an immediate and successful operation saved his life. Mr Bledsoe was striken with agonizing pain during Tuesday means of performance of "Show Boat," but remained in his part until the close of the show. In the last few minutes of the performance there is a reprise of the "River" song, and he sang it with his accustomed fervor without giving a hint of his actual suffering. His condition became alarming later that night and he was taken to the hospital. The artist's voice attracted considerable attention two seasons ago in the operetta "Deep River" and his ability as an actor, was recognized from his later performance of the lead role in the Pulitzer prize play, "In Abraham's Bosom." In the "River" song of "Show Boat" the combination of his wonderful voice and his acting ability makes A telephone call to the hospital on Monday brought information that he is resting easy and that his condition is quite favorable. 'GOIN' HOME' A DRAMA by RANSOM RIDEOUT (Awarded first prize in a national contest conducted by Longmana Green & Co., under auspices of the Drama League, of America, originally titled "Deep River," presented, and staged by Brock Pemberton, setting by Raymond-Sovey.) (By LUCIEN H. WHITE) A powerful drama, with an American Negro character for the main theme, telling of his valorous and distinguished service in the French Foreign Legion; his subsequent marriage to a French cafe chatelaine; the appearance of a white southwestern, major in the A. E. F., who proves to have been the young Negro's boyhood companion; the white man's prejudicial reaction at finding his Negro friend married to a French white woman, followed by a determined attempt to "put the nigger in his place", a sucumbing of the southern white man to the wiles of the Negro's French wife; discovery by the husband of the assignation and an attempt to shoot the despoiler of his home, which was thwarted by a Senegalese seldier, a comrade in the Foreign Legion, who is about to avenge his friend's honor by himself killing the American white officer; saving of the major when the American Negro shoots his Senegalese friend; attempt of the "white man, whose race bias drops away in face of the tragedy, to take the killing on his own shoulders; the sympathetic understanding of the French commandante, who appreciates the spirit of cameraderie which has come again to life in the hearts of the white man and the black man, which makes possible their reconciliation and return together back to America, made its appearance of the boards of the Hudson Theatre on Thursday night, August 23. The producer, Mr. Pemberton, was one of the three judges which awarded first prize in the Drama League, contest, to "Goin' Home" (his associates being Nathaniel E. Reeid and Walter Prichard Eaton), and, according to the program announcement, the drama was subjected to extensive revision before being presented to a New York audience. On Wednesday night, August 22, a large audience, with a number of colored auditors in attendance, witnessed what was originally intended to be the formal open. This was changed to Thursday night so as not to conflict with the Albany notification ceremonies in which Gov. Al Smith was told of his having been nominated as Democratic candidate for President. In this pre-premiere, it was evident that the theme of the drama lay in a propagandist insinuation of warning that France, with its broad conception of liberty and equality, is not, after all, any haven for the American Negro as compared with his native United States. This was emphasized from the first act to the last, not only through the outspoken desire of the soldiers, white and black, to get-back home, but in the insidious and grawning homesickness, which afflicted the expatriated Negro, "Israel Du Bois," (played by Richard Hale, a white actor), who had married "Lise," the French proprietress of a cafe (Barbara Bulrakov, the only woman in the play.) "Israel," a servant in the home of the wealthy Powells of New Orleans, in which home he was reared, was the boyhood companion of the white son of the son of "Edward Powell," (Russell Hicks), and when the Powell family is leaving France, returning to America after an European tour, "Israel" is lost in the rush of debarking, and remains in France. Shanghaied into the Foreign Legion, "Israel" wins high honors for brave conduct in battle, winning the croix de guerre and other disting., hed awards. In the meantime, "Edward Powell" attains the rank of in the A. E. F., in a regiment of Negro troops. One of "Israel's" comrades in the French army is "Samba Saar," a Senegalese Soldier enacted by Clarence Redd, who won favor by his characterization of African characters in the Broadway pageant spectacles, "Congo" and "Aphrodite"), who saved "Israel's" life on one occasion, and who has become a blood brother. Redd was responsible for two striking moments of great contrast—the one, when, in amusing the group of Negro soldiers in the cafe he performs an erotic, lust-matching dance, supposed to be typically tropical; and the other, when, in furious anger he is about to avenge the injury to his friend "Israel's" marital honor by killing the American major, he is incredulously surprised at being shot down by this same friend. "Irael" has a burning desire to return to his native New Orleans; but knows what the reception would be if he returned with a white wife. To this is added the constant nagging of his wife to take her to this wonderful "paradise", where she believes her husband to have been a man of wealth and prominence—due to "Israel" having given a description of the Powell home and estate and imaginatively dubbing it as his own. Her husband's firm refusal to take her to America gives rise in "Lise's" mind to the suspicion that there is another woman in the case, and she determines to question the first American she comes in contact with who has any knowledge of New Orleans. Then comes "Major Edward Powell," whose command, made up of black soldiers, is about to embark for America. His first amorous inclinations toward "Lise," the flirtations cafe keeper, are curbed when he discovers that she has married a black man, even though he is of the impression that her husband is a French native. So he proceeds to inform her in strongest terms as to what the Negro's status is in the United States (but he does not use the term "Negro," neither do any of the other Americans, black or white), and just how the southern white man keeps him in "his place." And as "Lise" comes to a realization that "Israel" is not a rich American, possessing no manorial or other sort of home, and that his racial identity brings down upon his head scorn and, continually from the white-man, she throws off the pretense of love and honor which she had maintained toward her husband, and when he comes in she vehemently proclaims her new attitude, applying the term she had heard "Major Powell" use in so contemptuous a manner. And when "Israel", surprised and dumbbounded, asks where she learned the new title, she quickly tells him that she learned it from "Major Powell." The white southerner, who had not hitherto seen "Israel," since the separation four years before, comes on the scene as the French woman escapes to her room. And then is a joyful and glad reunion, in which "Israel" explains how he got left, and "Powell" explains how his mother had written several letters to France in an effort to locate her colored servant. But the letters did not reach "Israel" since he had, by that time, been impressed into the Foreign Legion. After "Israel" leaves the room, the southerner begins to realize that there is a connection between the black man and the French woman. And when "Lise" returns, he asks as to the ownership of a coat hanging on the wall, which he has identified as belonging to "Israel." And when he leans that the coat belongs to the woman's husband, the truth breaks upon him and he rages with fury, shouting his intention to "Teach the damn 'nigger' his place." But when "Israel" comes in and the white man contemptuously gives him an order, there is quick resentment and refusal from the colored man, and the army officer is reminded most forcibly that he is in France, where every man is a man, without regard to color or race, and not in America, where the white man strides remorselessly over every human right belonging to the black man. And the major stampa out from the place swearing that he will return with troops and take "Israel" by force to the ship for the return trip to America. Then, follows in rapid sequence the return of the officer, but alone, and his falling a victim to the Frenewhoman's wiles. He follows her to her bedroom and the door is locked. Then comes the entrance of a group of American Negro soldiers, and their arrival brings unrestrained joy to the heart of "Israel," who greets them with fervor and unhounded hospitality. It is a scene of hilarity, with 'banjo picking by Fred J. Jennings ("Banjo Lph"), singing by the entire group, dancing by Brevard Burnett ("Tom") and Leo Bailey ("Luke"), who are the outstanding funnakers of the evening, and the native dance by "Samba Saar." In the midst of the fun, the major, in a drunken and dishevelled condition, appears upon the balcony leading from "Lise's" room, and orders the soldiers to return at once to the ship. "Israel," in astonishment realizes that "Powell" is coming from his wife's room, the door to which has been locked through all of the jollity, and makes the attempt to shoot him which is frustrated by "Samba Saar," and which ends in the death of the Senegalese at the hand of his blood brother. The climax comes in the arrest of "Israel" for the guards, after Major Powell had tried vainly to take it upon himself, through the action of "Lise" who, through hate and cupidity, denounces her husband to the French commandante, after which the woman throws her self upon the American officer, vowing her love and, begging him to take her to America, but meeting only his angering scorn for having mated with a black man solely because she thought him rich. She disappears from mthe scene. The French officer, tuced by "Powell's" story of his boyhood companionship with "Israel", releases the latter from custody, and then the major tells "Israel" how "Lise" has gone back to her own folks and there is nothing left save for "Israel" to come with him back to America. The curtain falls as the two men leave the cafe to embark upon the troop ship. There is a strong, character portrayed by Thomas Moseley, that of "Jim", whose soul is filled with rebellion at the thought of coming back to America to be a victim of hate and segregation, and who is determined to desert and remain in France, "Israel" pleads with him not to do so, urging him to return home, telling him that there is little chance for a black American soldier who could not speak French because the returning. French soldier would always have the first choice. Again there is brought out the insidious thread of propaganda which tends throughout the whole drama to warn the Negro that the United States, with its understanding and sympathy, with its eternal "keeping him in his place", is better for the Negro than is France or any other country which only knows how to recognize the principle of Freedom. Equality and Liberty. As mentioned, the principal character, "Israel," is played by a white man, Richard Hale, and it must be said that his work is of high character. Throughout the play he preserves an atmosphere of realism and successfully resists any temptation to overplay his part. In all of his scenes with the southern white companion of his boyhood days, he is satisfactory—where he rejoices over seeing him, where he resents the arrogant, assumption of superiority, and again where he. But the auditor never forgets that the actor is really a white man! is determined to avenge the licentious invading of his home. Russell Hicks gave a splendid interpretation of the southern white man whose natural inhibitions make him close his eyes to the worth of a Negro only as he is a "good nigger," and the insuating allurements of the conscienceless woman were realistically portrayed by Miss Bulgalov. The other white characters were: "Slim" and "Bill," two Irish military police, John Irwin and Ralph Cullinan: "Serjent Durant" and "Caporal Ricor" of the French Army, Arvid Paulson and Alexander Zaroubine; "Comandante Juneste," Georges Renevant. Completing the colored contingent, making up the group of soldiers enroute home were Seiffert C. Pyle, F Barclay Trigg, Ferdinand J. Accooe, J. William Maxwell, Frederick D. McCoy, Charles H. Brown, Charles Benjamin, Ray Giles and Snippy Mason. CARLETTE C. THOMAS Carlette Thomas Wins Further Musical Honor Miss Carlette C. Thomas of 200 West 130th street, who recently distinguished herself by the high ranking she attained in tests for ranking as an 'Associate in the American Guild of Organists, has returned from a six-weeks' stay at Grauautaqui, N.
