Budget allowances were made for each district and a definite financial system arranged by which careful check will be kept on all receipts and expenditures. Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the National Republican Committee, was present and spoke earnestly, expressing pleasure in meeting the colored committeemen.

Dr. Work emphasized the strong friendship shown by Herbert Hobver, Republican nominee for President, for all people, regardless of race, creed or color. Replying To Criticism. Mrs Alwin T Hert, vice chairman, Women's Division of the National Committee, also spoke, making interesting comment on the organization, declaring that there should be no color line in party activities but that all should work together as men and women devoted to interest of the Republican Party. Mrs Hert said that she needed among her friends many leather Negroes, and that she found pleasure and instruction in talking with them. The committee unanimously adopted a resolution of endorsement of Chairman Hawkins, Secretary Holsey and Dr. Emmett a reply to criticisms raised upon them as non-voters, in it was declared that their confidence in them would be confirmed in their ability to host an enthusiastic campaign for Howard and Curtis, and we pledge to them our unanimous support and further pledge to cooperation in every possible way to accomplish this purpose." JIM CROWING AT ASBURY PARK IS BARRED BY MAYOR Prompt Action On Citizen's Complaint Of Discrimination Ashbury Park, N. J.—Through action taken by the local N. A. A. C. P. under leadership of Dr. William J. Parks, branch president, the attempted segregation of Negroes on the ocean beach by city police officers has been stopped. For some time race bathers have been restricted to a small section of the beach, and recently police officers have been ordering Negroes who occupied benches on other parts of the beach to "move down where the colored people belong." Letters to the mayor of Ashbury Park from the local N. A. A. C. P., through its executive committee, protesting this action were given immediate attention. Dr. Parks stated that without discussion the mayor asked as to what the Negroes wanted done, and gave assurances that, the colored people had the same rights and privileges on the beach as any other race group, and that any restrictions upon race are not warranted. Dr. Parks was supported by a committee composed of John A. Stewart, Thomas H. Murray, Anna N. Jackson, Bessie A. Wallace, Dr. John H. Hayes, Bettie A. Carter, Louisa L. Uppering and Mabel Hendrickson. The letter to the mayor called attention to the fact that Ashbury Park Negroes pay more taxes than do the colored citizens of any other Jersey resort, Atlantic City included; that the beach front is a public playground owned by the city bury square and the streets of the bury square, and that the race should not be "made the laughing-stick of the entire state by continuing to be jim crowed on our own beach." DISMISSAL OF WORKERS SEEN AS GRENTHAL POLICY Mrs. Emma J. Murray Is Dismissed As Inspec- tor In 19th A.D. An example of the methods of coercion and manpower being used by Asemblyman Abraham Grenthal to perpetuate his oligarchy as leader of the Republican of the 19th A. D. is seen in the treatment accorded Mrs. Emma J. Murray of 1980 Seventh avenue who was dismissed as an election inspector in the 6th Election District of the 19th because of her support of Mvies A. Pague for nomination as candidate for the State Assembly from the 19th A. D. in opposition to Grenthal. Mrs. Murray was named by the county chairman to serve for a year, but just on the eve of September Primary she has been notified of being removed from her position, this action coming through Grenthal from the county chairman's office as a means of reprisal on her because she dared take a stand against the leader's wishes. Well authenticated reports show that besides Mrs Murray, ten other inspectors have been removed through Grenthal's influence. A Repressive Policy. This case appears to be an indication of Grenthal's policy to continue his rule in party affairs in absolute disregard of the wishes of the majority, for reports come that similar action is being taken in the cases of other inspectors and workers who are in sympathy with the movement for race leadership within party ranks in Harlem. That this sort of repressive action is contrary to party policy has been shown in the past when County Chairman Samuel S. Kogniig has persistently refused to take sides in district controversies. Recently in the 7th Assembly District, in the matter of differences between the leader and other members of the organization, it was decided that every worker and election district captain must have entire freedom to work for whomever he, or she pleased in party primaries and that this was the only way to preserve harmony and good feeling in the district. That some of the Negro, narty workers have backbone and courage enough to refuse to be made creatures of Grenthal's will is to be seen in the attitude of Walter A. Christian of 474 Lenox avenue, who, when invited to Grental to a conference on matters regarding the primaries, replied as follows: "I regret that I will be compelled to refuse your invitation to confer on matters regarding primaries, etc., because of the grateful methods used during the meeting of August 6th. During my twenty-five years as an organization man I have never seen it equalled. I wish to say at this time that I am only interested in the election of Mr. Herbert Hlower and Mr. Myles Paige. Principle and self-respect is above everything else." Board of Elections Hears Charges Of Forgery On Grenthal Petitions And Rejects 263 Fraudulent Names Board Members Advise Myles Paige To Present Evidence of Forged Signatures To Office of District Attorney of N. Y. County The Board of Elections, sitting on Tuesday, September 3, heard formal complaints of forgery of signatures to the petitions filed by Abraham Grenthal for designation in the Primary on September 18 as candidate for re-election to the State Assembly, and 263 names were rejected. The meeting was held in Room 1840 of the Municipal Building, and Myles Paige, candidate opposing Grenthal for the nomination, and his workers submitted evidence that the Grenthal petitions contained names of persons not in the 19th A. D., of dead people, of others not enrolled voters and numerous forged signatures of voters who had refused to sign the Grenthal petitions. Monarch Lodge Apts., Inc.

Mr. Grenthal and his attorney, Sidney M. Louis, were present, but could offer nothing to controvert the evidence produced by Mr. Paige and the Board ordered the 203 names taken from the petitions However, as the Grenthal petitions still had the number of signatures, 170, required by law the Board sustained the petitions permitting Grenthal's name to remain on the Primary hallots At the same time, however, members, of the Board advised Mr. Paige that he should carry the forgery charge to the District Attorney for investigation, and it is thought that this will be done. Negro Painters To Reorganize Union Wednesday evening, September 12, a public mass meeting will be held at 149 West 136th street under auspices of the Community Progressive Painters Union, Inc. All painters and decorators in Greater New York are cordially invited to attend, as the meeting is for the purpose of re-organizing this union.

Mrs. Hortense Warner Makes Attack On Harlem Ministers At St. James Forum's Registration Rally Sunday The opening meeting of the St.James Forum for the fall season Sunday afternoon, September 2, was thrown into something of a furore when Mrs. E. Hortense Warner, wife of Richard Warner, former prohibition agent, now serving a term in Federal Prison at Atlanta for accepting bribes, made a slashing attack on Harlem ministers. Mrs. Warner made special reference to the candidacy of the Rev. William P. Hayes to Congress from the 21st Con- A4 The Age goes to press, firemen are searching the ruins for additional bodies. The known dead are Mrs. MILLICE RUDLRDGE, 40. BARBARA, her five-months-old daughter ALBERT GOMEZ, 24. ALBERT GOMES 24. An identified man with a fractured skull, who leaped just as firemen were about to save him, died in the Harlem Hospital. The bodies of the mother and baby were found on the third floor. The man was taken from the top floor. The alarm was turned in by John Fitzgerald, a chauffeur, who was standing across the street when he saw smoke pouring from the hallway. He ran to the firebox, pulled the alarm and then ran back to warn the tenants. When he reached the door, the fire had shot up, the stairway and the smoke was so dense that it drove him back. Jumped From 3rd Floor. In a few seconds the fire apparatus arrived and firemen were on the job at once. In the window of the third floor they saw a man yelling for help. They started to raise a ladder. Just as it was about to be set against the window, the man became panic-stricken and leaped for the ladder. His hands grasped Mrs. Hortense Warner On Harlem Minis Forum's Registrate Says No Minister Is Outside The Pulpit; Congress Candi The opening meeting for the fall season Sunday was thrown into something E. Hortense Warner, wife mer prohibition agent, no eral Prison at Atlanta for slashing attack on Harlem made special reference to William P. Hayes to Congressional District. She said that she had accepted the alibi of white members of the county committee who presented Emanuel Hertz' name in preference to Dr. Charles H. Roherts at the last election, but that she had vigorously opposed the designation of of Rev. Hayes, as she believed that a rung then slipped, and with a shriek he fell, turned over and fell on his head and shoulder on the pavement below. Through the smoke on the fifth floor a man and woman were hid dled in the window. The crowd on the street below yelled to them not to jump. The woman climbed out on the ledge and then the man appeared beside her. The firemen rushed to the work of raising a ladder to them. Suddenly with his hand holding her, the woman moved inch by inch along the narrow ledge until she was safe on the roof of the adjoining building. By this time the ladder was raised and the fireman carried the man down. Tried To Save Her Baby. Two alarms were turned in, and on the second alarm came "Smoky Joe" Martin who took charge of the work. Firemen found Mrs. Rudledge and her baby girl dead in the hallway of the third floor. They had been asphyxiated by the smoke. The position of the bodies showed that the mother had attempted to escape down the stairs with her baby but was overcome and fell. In her last agonizing minutes she tried to save her baby by covering its face with her dress. The body of Gomez' was found in this room on the fifth floor. ner Makes Attack ters At St. James tion Rally Sunday Qualified For Position Lavelle, Independent Update, Is Barred of the St. James Forum by afternoon, September 2, ing of a furore when Mrs. e of Richard Warner, for- ow serving a term in Fed- accepting bribes, made a ministers.

Party In Her Debt. She became bitter when she referred to their interest in politics The Rev. Dr. Wm. P. Hayes Explains The Rev. Dr. Wm. P. Hayes Explains Editor of The New York Age: In last week's issue of The Age there appeared two contradictory stories in connection with the Congressional situation as it relates to me personally. On the front page is an article in which Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman is represented as having charged me with leaving town secretly to prevent the naming of Hon. E. A. Johnson; of never having officially declined the designation; and of having been persuaded by Alderman Fred R. Moore not to accept the designation. I am concerned primarily with the charge that I left town secretly in order to prevent the naming of Mr. Johnson for Congress. To be guilty of doing a thing like this would put me in the category of a very small and selfish man. Dr. Coleman has denied ever having made this charge, and I accept her word at its face value. The other story on page 3, of last week's issue, answers the one on the front page, but it does not quite state all the facts in the case. It states that I inadvertently left town without signing the formal certificate of declination. Now the facts are these: On August 13th, the day before the legal date for filling designating petitions, I mailed letters of declination to both Mr. Grenthal and Mr. Conklin, leaders of the 19th and 21st Assembly Districts, respectively. Furthermore, copies of the letter of declination were sent to all the Negro newspapers of Harlem, the same appearing in the issues of the week of August 14th. In view of the facts just cited, I assumed that no designating petition had been filed in my behalf. I assumed further that the committee on vacancies would proceed at once to designate someone else. Had I known that a petition had been filed with the Board of Elections in my behalf, I should have certainly presented the formal certificate of declination in person. What possible motive could I have in allowing my name to go on the ballot after I had declined the designation? I do not need to reiterate the reasons for declining the designation. They were fully set forth in my letter of declination. I have great respect for your good judgment, Mr. Editor, but I cannot allow you to take credit or blame for my decision in this matter.

SMITH 21 Schuyler Street New Brunswick, N. J. Phone 3539-3799 New Brunswick Former Assemblyman E. A. Johnson, who has accepted the designation as Republican candidate, for Congress from the 21st Congressional District, was present and made a brief address. He stated that his organization hopes to register 10,000 more colored voters this year than are now registered. He also stated that the organization grows living in Harlem take out citizenship papers so that they might enjoy the political benefits of this country. Other speakers included Cleveland G. Allen, Mrs. Rosa Lampkin and V. M. Robinson, a member of the Democratic party, who declared that he would vote for Attorney Johnson for Congress this year. Lavelle is Barred. Attorney Louis A. Lavelle, who is also a candidate for Congress from the 21st District, was present but was not permitted to speak by Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, the presiding officer, who said that this was her meeting and she would grant the floor oily to those persons she wanted to speak. Dr. Coleman reviewed the work she has been doing as head of the St. James Forum, and thereafter appointed a committee to draw up a resolution voting confidence in Dr. Coleman and her work. Mr. Williams, editor of The Crusader, Mrs. Lampkins and Cleveland G. Allen were appointed to the committee, but Mr. Allen declined and stated that he was for no compromise in this campaign. He said he stood squarely, behind the candidacy of Myles A. Paige for nomination to the Assembly from the 19th A. D. Dodson Forms Political League in Brooklyn Responding to the call of, N. B. Dodson for the purpose of forming a political league through which the voters in the Twenty-second Assembly District in Brooklyn, might do more effective work for the election of the National Republican and State tickets in the campaign which is now on. A large number of citizens met at 300 Berrimar street, East New York, on Monday evening, August 27, and perfected an organization to be known as the F. M. Gilbert Republican League of the Twenty-second Assembly District. The league is named in honor of Frank H. Gilbert, president of the King's County Colored Republican organization. The twenty-second is a large district and has had no organization for the past six years or more among our people. By organizing the league, N. B. Dodson becomes leader among the colored Republicans of the district and has been so recognized by Jacob A. Livingston, County Republican leader, and by F. H. Gilbert. The officers elected are: N. B. Dodson, president, Mrs. Viola Harper, vice-president; John Gordon, secretary and Mrs. Addie Domingo, treasurer. The members are enthusiastic for the election of Hoover and Curtis, National Republican nominees for President and Vice President. Mr. Dodson has leased headquarters for a year and as soon as they are furnished, will have an opening. Prof. Chas. H. Moore of North Carolina Gives Warning That Such Action Is Unwise Until Democrats Have Radical Change of Heart By CHARLES H. MOORE. The nominees of the two major political parties having accepted the nominations for President, respectively, it is now the privilege and duty of the American electorate to decide, November the sixth, which of the two candidates they prefer. To an intelligent, thoughtful and unselfish colored man or woman, who is blessed with the opportunity to exercise his or her political franchise, without let or hindrance, to make this choice should not be difficult. Every Negro student is thoroughly acquainted with the history and basic principles of the Democratic, as well as those of the Republican party. 1876, when "Bloody" Butler (the butcher) and Wade Hamilton, with cannons stationed in the streets of Hamburg and Columbia, slaughtered your fathers by the hundreds as though they were so many wild beasts, only because they attempted to assert their rights as American citizens? What has happened to your memory that you cannot recall the It is sadly true that the latter has swung aloof from its ancient mooring since the day of Lincoln, Grant and Summer, but with all its faults the National Republican ship is the only one in which the Negro can safely afford to take political refuge, just now, until the Democratic party gives unquestionable proof of a new birth, a change of heart, so far as its policies and its attitude towards the Negro are concerned. The Bolting Negroes. I see in the public press, these latter days, rumors of Negroes bolting the. Republican party, because of some sort of special grievance, and forming, Al Smith Democratic Clubs. Where I read such news items I am reminded of the frog jumping out of the frying pan into the fire to better its condition. There is nothing in the Democratic party that should especially appeal to, or attract any Negro; for from its origin to the present day, its reputation has been one of consistency, persistency and stubbornness in its opposition to the political rights and privileges of the Negro. I recall, of course, some exception to the above indictment in the political conduct of a few Democrats, now and then, in Congress. But nationally the party is an everlasting, political foe to the Negro race group. I am not unmindful of the short-comings of the Republican party, its sins of omission and commission in the treatment of the Negro, but with all its derelictions of duty towards him, the Negro, just now, has a great deal more to hope for from it than the Democratic party. Keep this clear in mind: I am speaking of the two political parties from a national and not a local viewpoint, for if I lived in one of the States, where the Negroes' political and civil rights are not limited and not threatened, I might sometimes get the consent of my conscience to become a free-lance in politics, but when I know which wing (North or South) controls the Democratic party in this country, I cannot as a Republican afford to take such risks, it matters not where I am living. Difference In Votes There is a great difference in voting for a Democrat, because personally one may like him as a man and a friend; and, on the other hand, voting for the very same man, because he is a representative of the National Democratic party, which is theoretically and practically opposed to the political and civil rights of the Negro race. One of the manifest weaknesses of the Negro group is the obvious lacking of a spirit of unity and cooperation in politics, as well as in everything else worth while. And this imperfection, unfortunately, counts for the races not being properly and fairly recognized and respected by the other man. Moreover, it is too prone to forget and forgive, seemingly, the hand that smites it politically as well as physically. I do not mean to be uncharitable. But unless an enemy (political or otherwise- confesses his faults and shows evidence of penitence. I do not believe in kissing the hand that once smote me. Is there any sane, intelligent Negro living, who does not recall the midnight intimidations, whippings and assassinations of black men in the South during the reconstruction period, but, that infernal organization, the Ku Klux Klan, which, was composed of no other than members of the Southern Democratic party? The Terror of 1876. Have we so soon forgotten the Reign of Terror in South Carolina in the Presidential campaign of 1876, when "Bloody" Butler. (the butcher) and Wade Hamilton, with cannons stationed in the streets of Hamburg and Columbia, slaughtered your fathers by the hundreds as though they were so many wild beasts, only because they attempted to assert their rights as American citizens? What has happened to your memory that you cannot recall the bloody riot at Wilmington, North Carolina, November the 7th, the election year of 1896, during which scores of colored men were shot down like mad dogs on the streets and the Cape Fear River was made crimson with the blood of others, wounded and fleeing to escape death, just because they dared to exercise their political rights. Some of these unfortunate, persecution, were your kith and kin; and yet that tragic end is so soon forgotten. These three, bloody outrages and many others, if I had time to mention—who were responsible for them? None other than the Democratic party of the South and condoned by the Democratic party of the nation by its silence. Racial Unity Is Lacking That there is lacking racial unity and cooperation I'll illustrate. When in 1880 the late Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, then a member of the House of Representatives, introduced a Bill having for its object the safeguarding of the sufrage rights of the Negro the South, by the lawful stationing of United States troops at the polls, to prevent intimidation and riot, which was becoming customary in that section where the political power of the Negro had to be seckoned with the Democratic party of the South appealed not only to the Democratic party of the country, but to their white fellow citizens, North, East and West, regardless of party, to come to their resite and deliverance from Negro domination in the South The New York Sun, a Republic can paper taking the initiative, termed the Lodge Bill "A Force Bill". Other strong and influential papers, throughout the North cooperating with the Sun in its attack-upon the Bill kept hammering away until they succeeded in bringing enough pressure to defeat it by a large majority of Republicans, as well as Democrats. What was the secret of the defeat of the Lodge Bill? None other than that "blood" is thicker than water. White men may differ politically among themselves; but when their supremacy as a race is threatened by another, their racial integrity and unity is very soon/demonstrated. I surmise that it would take the Negro race in this country at least five hundred years to learn such a lesson of racial unity and cooperation, just motioned, and 'put it into practice in case of emergency. As I see it now, there are two political evils presented to us as a race in the present campaign to choose between. The Republican and Democratic parties. The lesser of these two evils, in my judgment, is the Republican party. Therefore, let's make the choice. Fletcher Cottage Guests Long Branch, N.

Douglas Wetmore of 1440 Broadway, a former resident and one-time Councilman in the City of Jacksonville, Fa. has noted the advice given readers of Negro newspapers by Kelly Miller, dean at Howard University to vote the Republican ticket in the November elections, and has written the following letter to Prof. Miller in approval of his advice: "August 29, 1928 "Professor Kelly Miller, Ph.D. "Howard University, "Washington, D.

"I too, am like you, old-fashioned, and cannot for the life of me, desert the G. O. P. for the party of Blease, Hefflin, Robinson and others of this ilk. Of course, I can understand how the race will feel sore against the G. O. P. for its treatment of Ben Davis of Georgia, Cohen of Louisiana, MacDonald of Texas and Howard of Mississippi, but I do not think they ought to forget all of the past good acts of the Republican party, simply because lately the party has not lived up to its old traditions, and I cannot see how the race has anything to gain by making a change.

E. of W., at its closing session in Chicago, last week. The convention just closed was comparatively harmonious, despite rumors of a fight the work prior LOCAL and LONG DISTANCE MOVING LICENSED PIANO MOVER In addition to Grand Exalted Ruler J. Fipley Wilson, most of the other grand lodge officers were re-elected without much opposition. One of the few changes in the official personnel was the election of Andrew T. Mitchell, exalted ruler of Manhattan Lodge, No. 45, to the position of grand esteemed lecturing-knight to succeed Roland R. Johnson of Brooklyn Lodge. The fight being waged by Thomas Brown and Charles M. Hanson, suspended members of Imperial Lodge, No. 127 of New York, was brought to the grand lodge for settlement but that body ruled that the case was entirely a local matter and refused to reopen it. Chicago Reception Disappointed. There were a toast of 1014 delegates and grand lodge officers present, and about 600 delegates and officers to the Grand Temple present. They were all somewhat disappointed by the welcome received from Chicago and many New Yorkers declared upon their return that it did not come up to that given by New York, although this city had only six weeks to prepare for the convention. A complete roster of the officers is as follows: J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler! George E. Bates, Grand Secretary! James T. Carter, Grand Treasurer! William C. Heuston, Commissioner of Education! S. H George, Grand Exetered Leading Knight! Andrew T. Mitchell, Grand Estereed Lecturing Knight! William H Emerson Grand Tvler! R. E. Farrell, Grand Trustee Mme.

At Patchogue, according to police, Tooker was still following Barber although the policeman was travelling at 70 miles an hour. Motorcycle policeman William Kordes tried to stop both of them and then jumped on his machine and set out on the chase. A telephone call was put through to the bridge tender at Quoque who got a farmer to block the road with his wagon. The chase ended there.

Considerable effort has been made by Democratic papers to connect Herbert Hoover with the Firestone rubber concession in Liberia in a manner that would discredit the Republican candidate for the Presidency. This criticism was based on report made by Prof. Raymond Buell, which was first given publicity in the English and West African press. Mr. Hoover was charged with forcing the Firestone concession upon Liberia, while Secretary of Commerce, and the Firestone concern was accused of using forced labor to work its rubber plantations. Prof. Buell recently repeated his charges before the Williamstown Institute of Politics, which were refuted by a statement made by President C. D. B King of Liberia, sent to the New York Herald Tribune President King flatly denied that the Liberian government was coerced by the United States officials into accepting the Firestone concession and related the negotiations which lasted over a space of two and a half years. He branded the statement of Prof. Buell that the scheme involves the control of Liberia by American officials as "untrue and mischievous." He said that the opportunity offered by the Firestone operation was seized with alacrity by the Liberian laboring classes and the government has had no occasion to coerce labor. Mr. Firestone, in a statement given to the Associated Press, at Akron, Ohio, likewise absolved Mr. Hoover from any connection with the Liberian rubber enterprise. It was admitted that Mr. Hoover was one of the first to expose the ramifications of the British rubber monopoly and recognize the necessity of America producing lier own rubber. This is probably the reason why the English papers have sought to connect Mr. Hoover with the Liberian enterprise, which threatens to destroy their monopoly. Certain Democratic papers in this country thought they had found campaign material in Prof. Buell's criticisms which could be used to discredit the Republican candidate, but the statements by President King of Liberia, the acting head of our State Department and other authorities have shown these charges to be unfounded. It is a queer state of affairs that brings English rubber monopolists to combine with American Democrats in an attempt to discredit a Republican candidate for the Presidency. We never thought that genuine Democracy could stop twisting the tail of the British Lion long enough to repeat his roar over rubber losses. DIVISION OF THE VOTE. Much has been said and written as to the desirability of a division of the Negro vote among the various political parties in this land. Some progress has been made in that direction in municipal and state elections in the North and West, and even in bond elections in some of the larger Southern cities. But in presidential campaigns there has been but little encouragement for the voters of the race to divide their ballots, owing to the persistence of the South, in clinging to the doctrine of white supremacy, and denouncing any participation in the franchise by the blacks, as involving the so-called menace of Negro domination. The revival of this political bogy has been the means adopted to stule the opposition to Governor Smith's candidacy growing out of his views on prohibition and his religion. Editor Clark Howell of the Atlanta Constitution, early in the campaign raised the battle cry of white supremacy as the supreme issue to keep the Ku Klux and the Anti-Saloon leaguers from supporting Hoover. Senator Blease of South Carolina, in a speech made at Florence, was quoted as warning his hearers against supporting a Republican for President by saying: "A few years ago you had a nigger postmaster. If you want another nigger postmaster, vote for Hoover." This racial intolerance efforts of those political workers of, both races, who favored a division of the vote in the North. Those white Northern Democrats of liberal convictions and policies have either been silenced or tacitly assented to the domination of Southern sentiment in dealing with the Negro in National affairs. To be sure, conditions among the Republicans in most Southern states are not much better with the Lilywhites in control and the black Republicans relegated to a back seat in party affairs. This was done in the visionary attempt to build up support for Hoover among the dry fanatics and bigoted religionists, who could not swallow Smith. If the Negro tries to vote, for Hoover under these conditions, he finds himself with such strange political bedfellows as the members of the Ku Klux Klan and the Anti-Saloon League. It is useless to deny that there is considerable sentiment in favor of Governor Smith among colored voters in the North although there does not appear to be any tangible reason to account for it. During his three terms, as Governor of New York State he has given the race but scant recognition in appointments to political office and repeatedly vetoed the bill that might have enabled them to elect one of their group as a city magistrate in Harlem. In his letter of acceptance, while advocating broad humanitarian views, he failed to include the Negro in the melting pot of Americanism. To a large extent he has ignored the race question, as it has affected people of darker skins. This has been the failing of even the most liberal Democrats. When the dominating prejudice of the South has been brought to bear upon them, few can withstand its blighting influence. Even granting that Governor Smith should be elected President and prove no better nor worse than his predecessors, it must be remembered that his successor, in case of any vacancy, would be Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the worst type of a Southern Negro-hater that could have been selected. The present campaign does not appear to be an appropriate occasion to warrant any serious division of the Negro vote. The Southern Democrats are not yet ready for it and the Northern Democrats are too subservient to the South to force the issue. WHEN THE SCHOOLS REOPEN. WHEN THE SCHOOLS REOPEN. With the second week of September the city schools again open their doors for teachers and pupils to take up their work again. Many of the former will return refreshed and invigorated from a summer at the seashore or in the mountains or even spent in relaxation and study nearer home. Summer camps and country outings have given many of the children a change from the cramped conditions of city life and brought renewed vigor for the regular routine of school work.

DRASTIC PRIMARY METHODS. The primary elections in any political party are provided to afford the enrolled voters the opportunity to have a voice in the choice of candidates on the ticket. Any contest over a nomination is within the party lines and no differences of opinion are supposed to affect the loyalty of the voters to party principles. The choice of the majority, fairly arrived at, should command the solid party vote, the minority accepting the decision at the primary as binding upon all loyal members of the party. With this understanding of the purpose of the primary election, the methods adopted by the present leader of the Nineteenth Assembly district in seeking to crush opposition to his candidacy appear to be intended to prevent any free expression of the choice of the voters. The primary elections in any political party are provided to afford the enroll voters the opportunity to have a voice the choice of candidates on the tick any contest over a nomination is with the party lines and no differences of op THE NEW YORK AGE ject to removal within that time except for cause. It has happened that some of these inspectors in the Nineteenth district who favored the designation of Myles Paige for Assemblyman, were removed by, order of Assemblyman Grenthal through his influence exercised through the County Chairman. This interference with the regular functioning of the primary machinery is an autocratic abuse of power intended to suppress the opposition to Grenthal's renomination. It not only suggests that Grenthal is on the run but that he will stop at no shady device to keep the voters of the district from exercising their legal privileges. There are primary contests in other city districts, notably that of Mrs. Pratt and Assemblyman Phelps for the Congressional nomination; but no such method of stifling the sentiments of the voters has been resorted to in their case. Entire freedom for every worker and election district captain to work for whom ever he pleased was insisted upon as the only way to preserve good feeling in the district. The fact that ninety per cent. of the Republican vote in the Nineteenth district is composed of Negroes is no reason why the district leader and the County Chairman should harbor the belief that black voters are not entitled to the same treatment as white voters. Such methods, if persisted in, can only result in breeding such dissension in the party as will alienate a large portion of its membership and bring about the loss of another seat in the Assembly. The Negro voters of the district, despite these underhand methods, should redouble their efforts to defeat Grenthal and vote in the primary for Myles Paige, Threats and intimidation, bribes and promises, should not swerve them from their purpose to exercise a real leadership in a district where they furnish nineteenths of the vote for Republican candidates. District leaders and the County chairman must be made to understand that our voters demand and are entitled to the same measure of representation that any other group of voters can command. The only way to force such an understanding is by voting in the primary for Paige for Assembly. Grenthal is on the run, as his desperate efforts to stifle opposition show. He should be kept going until he retires to the district where he belongs. STARTING A CAMPAIGN RIGHT STARTING A CAMPAIGN RIGHT.

The members of the committee present registered their confidence in the chairman and secretary, despite some published criticisms as to their being non-voters. The outstanding character and ability of both these officers in the various organizations with which they have been identified, was ample evidence that their choice to handle the campaign for the Republican ticket was no blind venture.

His record as Secretary of Commerce as in the work of Mississippi flood relief showed his absolute freedom from discrimination or bias on race or religion. Mrs Hertz, a leader among the Republican women, spoke of the friendly attitude manifested toward the race and asked the cooperation of our outstanding women. The Age believed in the availability of Governor Lowden of Illinois as a candidate for the Presidency and favored nomination, until the convention decided otherwise. We believe that Mr. Hoover deserves the same consideration and support from the race that Mr. Lowden would have received. The election of Mr. Hoover as President should bring also new conditions in Republican politics which would remove many of the disabilities from which the race now suffers.

SUPERSTITION IN POLITICS Phelps Phelps, Assemblyman from the Tenth Assembly district, who is running against Mrs. Ruth Pratt, Alderman from the Fifteenth Aldermanic district, for the Republican nomination for Congress, has a pet superstition, according to a political reporter for the Herald Tribune. The Assemblyman won first position on the primary ballot at a drawing at the Board of Elections last week, which caused him considerable exultation, which was explained as follows: Phelps Phelps. Assemblyman from the Tenth Assembly district, who is running against Mrs. Ruth Pratt; Alderman from the Fifteenth Aldermanic district, for the Republican nomination for Congress, has a pet superstition, according to a political reporter for the Herald Tribune. Mr. Phelps attributed his winning first place to faith in a superstition. "I said to Mrs. Mary O'Shea Groust one of my supporters who accompanied me 'I feel nervous. I wish I could do something to bring me good luck.'" he THE AGE READERS FORUM A Flim Flam Game Editor of The New York Age: The Negro' Democrats are watching with keen interest the movements of Robert Conklin and Abraham Greenthal; Republican leaders of the 19th and 21st Assembly districts, the districts that the Negro voters control. They claim they are the victims of a new kind of political trickery. They charge that the selection of Edward A. Johnson, a blind man and wealthy landlord, for Republican candidate for Congress in the 21st district by these leaders, and they know that a white Republican cannot be elected in this district, is a trade wherein they are handing the election to Royal H. Weller, the By The Age Special Correspondent The Strike Situations. In Bombay, the struggle continues. People are actually starving and all the available resources of the unions, are exhausted. The textile workers at Ahmedabad have sent their mite towards the relief fund. The Mayor Fund, started by Dr. Deshmukh has been very well subscribed by the millowners. The police terrorism is still going on Mr.Nimbakar, who was arrested last week for obstructing a police official in the performance of his duty, is released on bail, and his case is still going on in the court. But at one of the strikers' demonstrations, the police were let loose with their bamboo sticks, and indiscriminate arrests were made by them. Several were hurt, including Mr. Mirajkar and Mr. Dange. Next day the Workers Guards were formed to protect the workers from hooliganism of the police it was seen that for self-defence the strikers armed themselves, with sticks, knives, etc. Whatever may be their spirit of suffering and self-sacrifice, the struggle is likely to fail, if financial assistance is not forthcoming to help them to carry on the struggle. The Lallooah strike has been called off, and disgracefully the strikers had to yield to the demands of the agents of the railway because there was starvation facing the strikers all around. It is a mere coincidence that on account of a fishplate being removed on the rails in Bengal, a tragedy occurred and several were wounded near Belur, and a grave allegations are made of injurious cruelty against the railway staff by the sufferers. The charge of removing the fishplate is levelled against the strikers by some of the yellow journals, and the Calcutta paper, the Forward, has challenged them one and all to come with their proves and show that strikers have hands in these bloody casualties which number over 300. The railway authorities say that only 50 are dead and a few are wounded. A horrified passenger by this unfortunate train states that he is prepared to prove that over 300 are dead and says that if the relief train had not arrived over half the number would have been saved. He writes in Forward that in their hurry of hiding their guilt the officers of the railway huddled to gether the wounded and the dead in a wagon and these wagons were carried away immediately no one knows where Belur Tragedy. At the instigation of several Anglo-Indian journals, the agent the East Indian Railway has instructed their legal adviser to launch prosecution against the editor and proprietors of "Forward," a Calcutta daily for label and claim lives as damages for publishing an article imputing the negligence on the part of the Railway to keep the line in proper repair which was the cause of derailment of the Calcutta Gaya express near Belur on the night of the 15th July last, and as a result of which 20 persons were killed. The agent on the contrary of investigating into the alleged cause of trouble had offered a sum of 30,000 rupees to find out whether any of the strikers had a hand in it. The Forward made a very hold statement that over 300 persons are wounded and were mercifully be laboured and carried away in good train. Some were beaten with iron rods by the Railway officials. It is to be seen how far the Indian Penal Code section 13.1 under which the - Government have launched prosecution gives justice. Foreignera In Their Own Landa. The parting message of Dr. Sudhindra Rose of Iowa University that Indians are treated as foreigners in their own motherland has evoked an outburst of indictment against the bureaucratic rule in India for not permitting this distinguished son of India to stay in his own motherland after an exile of nearly 30 years. Even the American visa lasting for one year could not permit Prof Rose to enjoy the right of unrestricted visa. Nothing is more humiliating to us than to find that a least contact with the outside world, puts a ban on the entry to our own lands and we have to depend upon the caprice of an alijn bureaucracy. Democratic candidate, on a gold platter, and robbing them of a chance to make a campaign for Weller among the Negroes and putting them out of the political picture in a Presidential year. They can see now that the Congress bait was an insincere gesture held out to the Negroes while the white leaders, both Democrats and Republicans gobbled up all of the local offices for white candidates. The white leaders know that more Negroes vote in a Presidential year than any other time so they flim flamed the Negro politicians and all white men will be elected to Congress, the State Senate and Assembly, this year. The white leaders arranged this trade and left the Negroes out in the cold. S FROM INDIA In accordance with the notice issued by the Strike Committee of the S. I. L. K. Labor Union, the General Strike commenced at midnight of the 19th July. The men at Egmore and the menials of the Madras station have joined the strikers. Between Cheptup and Egmore station the strikers held up trains and mounted engines and notwithstanding the police precautions succeeded in withdrawing trees to disabling the engine. All trains are held. Strikers sleep on the rails at a distance. Strikers masters, guards and engine drivers have to open the level crossings, at pointmen, coolies, engine strikers, menials, and the whole staff (except the Anglo-Indians and officers) have joined the strike. Exact number is still not known. Great excitement prevails. The Government has sent armed troops to principle stations to guard workshops and see that trains are regularly maintained. All good trains are cancelled. Famine In Bengal. There is acute famine now prevailing for more than six months in the six districts of the Province of Bengal. Appeals were made by the stricken roots to the Zamundars and the Government for prompt sucruce, but while many of the Zamundars refused to consider that any help from them was due to the roots, the paternal Government in Bengal showed even a worse spirit. The discussion on the adjournment motion to protest against the parsimonious spirit of the Government in an index to the keen resentment amongst the popular representatives against their bureaucratic policy of spending R$12,000 on gratuitous relief for R$0,000 famine stricken people. This remarkably philanthropic allowance works at about R$3 per starting person. It is no wonder that unrest in Bengal is deep-earned. Jamaahedfur Deadlock A conference was held between the Tata directorate and Josh on behalf of the workers, but no sign of compromise is in sight. The authorities have asked Mr. Honi the leader of the strikers to stop pickets and permit loyalist to go to the works, otherwise in case of trouble he will come in collision with the police. Armed forces have been summoned. Over 5,000 workers are faced with starvation. Sholapur Strike This continues in spite of all news of failure. 3,000 workers starving Passports. Any citizen travelling abroad is entitled to claim the protection of his own government in foreign countries, and passports are not more than official warrants affording such protection to those who may want it. The issue of these permits is but a normal function of the government of the country, and the fact that it is entrusted with this duty certainly gives it no more right to restrain arbitrarily the movements of any individual citizen. This is how the matter is regarded in every civilized country where the government represents the interests of its citizens and has them well-being at heart. But in India the things seems to stand on a different footing altogether. He's the government exists, not to look after the interests of the citizens, but to look after the people from the country. It is but a plaything in the hands of the people who think they have a model right to only to tamper, what's by letters as they pass through the post other but to restrict his movements in any way they are. In other countries students are encouraged to travel to head and acquire knowledge which they may utilize to usher at home, but here foreign travel is regarded with suspicion, and the up fortunate individual who, for reasons of health or study, may think of going back to the dance attendance in the cane chambers of the people who are so long time, only to be unforeled at last that the permission asked cannot be granted. A secret police report, or perhaps the whip of the officer in charge, is all that is necessary to undo his future process and make no home his person. Some of the recent order is issued by the Provincial and Government of India, as well, will quickly hear but this charge. The Rev. Ottama asked for a passport in March last to visit the countries of Germany and Russia. The Govt has been issued a letter to the two long-months of information applicant that "Cry and" adversely omitted Russia's red Germany from it list of countries to which his passport had been endorsed as valid. And the Rev Ottawa is only one of these institutions of these bureaucratic whims. Dr. kinder Boss, of the Iowa University, has JOHN W. BANKS Passports. The Hartford Pilot printed an article headed "Harkem," in its editorial columns, which we are inclined to believe is original and not clipped without credit, as has been its cheerful but unethical practice. It read: Van Vachten did not put Harlen on the map; but he certainly, with "Nigger Heaven," gave a new stand to what goes on in the largest Negro City in the world. He held up the most salacious features of the Negro night life to the world as the apogee of Negro existence. Matti were shocked, but there were many of the "know-alls" who would shout "I always thou so." Not agreeing with this writer, for we know better, we are looking forward to reading and possibly reviewing what we hope is a reply to Van. Vachten's column. We refer to the product of the Negro poet Claude Makes, "Home so Harlem." While the Hartford editor does not appear to be familiar with the correct spelling of the name of either of the authors referred to, he is not likely to derive any more comfort from Mr. McKay's picture of Harlem than Mr. Van Vechten's. Hg would do better to read "The Walls of Jericho," by Rudolph Fisher. Urging the necessity for "Taking Sunday School Work Seriously," the able and outspoken editor of the Christian Recorder said: With all our boasting the A. M. E. Church has not developed a single Sunday School expert, so far as we know. Not that we have not the material, both in spirit and in brains, with which to develop experts, nor have we a lack of persons who are willing to undergo the sacrifice necessary to qualify. The real reason is that we do not give talent the opportunity to succeed We encourage mediocrity. We encourage sham; and definitely discourage real ability. Much fine ability has left our Sunday School work because it funds no encouragement. We exalt ignorant pompomy into the title of experts, and those with mentality enough to understand it. grow disgusted and quit. A talented Sunday School worker after attending a Sunday School Convention, said "it's a waste of one's good time." That judgment may be a little harsh, and is, we think, but it is worth thinking about. With candidates for office, bent mainly on "endorsements" for office, and presiding elders pocketing most of the money the Sunday Schools bring to promote the work, with the reading of plagiarized papers, the throttling of discussions, and the discussion of abstuse "theological" topics, at our Sunday School Conventions, one wonders whether we do take our Sunday School work seriously. The serious consideration required and given to Sunday School work by some of our city churches was indicated by the reference of a leading churchman to a Sunday School of some nine hundred pupils and 125 teachers, every one of the latter being either a high school or college graduate. H S Murphy, in an open letter to the Rev Sam Small, published in the Atlanta Independent, had the following to say about the so-called "Super-men" of the South. Just two books of lasting significance have come out of the South since 1805. They are "Up From Slavesy," by Booker T. Washington and "The Souls of Black Folk," by W. E. B. Dullois. Both of these books issue from the incomparable brain of two incomparable black men. Until recently any other attempts at mortality in written expression have fallen flat, in the opinion of literary critics, for the simple reason that the brain of men who hate their brothers cannot conceive immoral products, and efforts to stifle human expression are born with the seed of self destruction in them. A Southern white knitter once attempted what he expected to be a monumental work on the race question. Following along the usual lines he aroused the critics who said "The only parts which will live in the book are his quotations from W. E. B. Dullois." Julia Peterkin of Fort Mott, S.C. has recently produced a book which bids fair to live but it is a sympathetic portrayal of Negra life around her. Only labors of love can live. Whenever such a rosette picture of Southern "supermen," Southern progress, Southern justice, etc., come to India after twelve years to see the land of his birth and although he American passport himself has to stay in this country for one full year, the British authorities in India, Arab think that their precious Empire would crumble to pieces if the doctor stay here for more than half that period. Mr. Sakalayala may be the member of the British Patent and may legislate for India, but the gentlemen who tie the administration to Sumla cannot permit him to visit the country for foreign reasons, and they lay down 'the law' 'Strange anomalies' in these are no more than the inevitable consequences of a stupid system of administration which allows, a handful of foreigners, to represent at home and to make the millions of human beings whom they neither try nor are able to understand. Jamashedpur Strike Mr N M Joooha rushed to the scene. Strikers have demanded the sergeant's account within 24 hours and still over the money and strike. It is reported that 5,000 have rejoined the works, but this report is not confirmed. Saturday. September 8, 1928 is painted, let the Negro observe beware, for a partisan Southerner is usually doing the painting or influ- encing the artist. The Rev. Sam Small who won notoriety as a traveling evangelist was responsible for a recent sym- posium by Southern governors, seek- ing to show that Negro voters were not disfranchised in their States. That is an index to his credit as a authority. The Veteran editor of the Cleveland Gazette has no sympathy to waste on Ben Davis and Perry Heward and bluntly gave his reas- ses as follows: This, because as state leaders they were no good to our people but positively harmful, and very harmful, too. All they were, apparently concerned about was furthering their own personal interests, in one way or another, and at any expense to their people. They sat in the National Committee meeting, when Kansas City was decided upon as the place for the national convention well knowing what that meant to all of our people who attended it. They offered no objection to the selection of Kansas City. To save their own "bacon," as delegates to the convention, they readily joined in with the Hoover control of the national committee to vote out all the other Afro-American delegates who came to Kansas City whose places Hoover "lily-white" wanted. And just as soon as the convention adjourned that same Hoover control turned against them and sent that woman assistant U.S. Attorney general to take them into the courts, as well as before the national committee, for the clearly evident purpose of discrediting them and getting rid of them as stat political leaders. Meanwhile our people the country over must suffer the resultant opportunity of the exposure of their questionable acts as such. While much of this may be true, it is to be borne in mind that neither Mr. Davis nor Mr. Perry has been tried or convicted of any crime. And the former never became an apologist for the Ku klux Klan. Discussing "The Gift of Henry Ford." the Charleston Messenger, published by the Orphans Aid Society, discoursed as follows: We have never heard of Mr Ford endowing a Negro College, or making a gift of a building as so many have done, but by giving employment to thousands of Negroes—it is a question well worth pondering—to whether his gift is not of more intrinsic value to racial progress than those who give in dollars and cents. Not only does Mr. Ford employ an army of Negroes, but he pads them the best of wages, with no discrimination except on merit and efficiency. He teaches thrift to his employees; he requires that their living conditions be healthful; his desire is for them to work out their salvation uncurriculated and unsurrounded with obstacles. Is this not what the masses of thinking Negroes desire at this period of their existence? With the doors of opportunity to engage in honest labor at standard wages being closed against them all over the country, oftimes solely on account of color, Mr. Ford's contribution is the more outstanding. While we understand that Mr. Ford not long ago gave a community house to a Negro church in Detroit, from an economic standpoint, his policy toward Negro labor has been a greater contribution to racial progress. Emphasizing the need of wholesome entertainment for young men and young women, the Birmingham Reporter showed the possibilities of a great recreational center in a girl's camp. It said. We need not look for any new way of social and cultural development. The highways are planned in America, they have been made by the races before its Centers of kind spoken of here are encouraged by the dominant people of that country and they believe in play entertainment and entertainment that keep the body and soul balanced and we must pursue these courses we must follow in the path that has been made by successful people. We would do well to come out of the back yard, get out of the alleys take a look at the avenues, go to the forest, bathe in the running streams, hear the birds sing and pluck wild flowers. We would well to leave the city occasionally and spend a few hours with Nature in the woods. Mother through the brush, going the ground at the spring again and online ourselves by getting a breath of air. All this can be done at the Margaret Murray Washington camp, short distance from Rye george and Breesner, where much has been accomplished by, thus in memory this seer, this woman of great desi- tion, Mrs Pauline, Bras Teachet, the Margaret Murray Washington Camp offers a wonderful possibility for the Negroes of Birmingham, Jefferson County, and the state of Alabama. Let's develop it. The enthusiasm displayed by the Birmingham editor is well founded. The benefits of summer camps for city children have been recognized by several of our religious and web Saturday, September 8, 1928 CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK On Sunday, at 11 a.m., the service was conducted by the Rev Horatio Hill, director of Religious Education at The Abyssinian Baptist Church of New York City, the last of the vacation pastors to fill the pulpit during the pastor's absence. The Rev. Hill preached a fitting and timely sermon from the subject: "Honest Labor, with Respect and Reverence to Personality." He took his text from the 21st chapter of Matthew, 33rd verse. The following day being Labor Day the sermon was most fitting. In the discourse the Rev. Hill pointed out the failures of capital and labor in bringing about world peace. Fair treatments by each Calvary M. E.

The sacrement was served at the conclusion of the o p m. Epworth League Topic "From a Carpenter Shop" scripture reading Mark 61:1-3. There were several readings, followed by discussion on the topic. A large number of young people were present. 8 p m. Evening worship-Rev. Bolden, assistant pastor from St. Marks M E. Church, preached from the subject "The Kings Highway" Text Isaiah 53rd chapter. It was a powerful message and it left a deep spiritual impression upon the audience. Two members were added to the church roll for the day. Paradise Baptist Church Rev. Vance, a well known pastor to Paradise, spoke from the 19 chapter of St. Luke and the 10th verse. "For the son of man is come to seek and save that which was lost Subject, "God's Offspring." He said, man was lost and no way to be saved only by God's plan. As man was traveling with only his physical health and strength God sees it necessary to save his offspring in the spirit. By the appearing of the Lord, Jesus made the way so clear and plain that man should be saved again you know the spirit, but if you have not." Rev. Vance advised to keep in contact with God's children till you have received the spirit from the Lord Jesus through them. At the evening service, Rev. Vance spoke to Paradise members and friends from the 11 chapter of St. John, 44 verse. "Loose him and let him go," was the theme of his text. These words were spoken by Christ to Mary and Matthias in regards to Lazaras. He had been bound hand and foot on the grave, but when Jesus spoke to him, he arose. Jesus said "loose him and let him go." If you are bound in sorrow and trouble and with the hardships of this world, just call up Jesus, who is able to loose you and let you go free. Osinner if you are bound in darkness and sin, steal away to Jesus who has a stretched out arm reads to brake loose the cords of sin and make you a free man or woman. Miss P LAURENCH, acting reporter. Grace Church of Harlem Despite the fact that a number of the members are still away on their vacation, a goodly sized congregation attended the communion service this morning. In A C Garner, who is back from his vacation, preached the communion sermon from Matthew 5th chapter 3-11 verses. His subject was "Jesus the friend of the Laborer." The lesson sent home with the congregation was that Jesus was a laborer and was not ashamed and that no matter how lowly our occupation it does not make us any the less in God's sight. Most of the choir is still on a vacation but the few members pre-made up for their absence with their good singing. Rev Samuel W. Sawyer of Selbra, North Carolina, was a visitor at the morning service and Dr. Garner extended the courtesy of the pulpit to him for a five minute talk. He also assisted Dr. Garner with the communion of which a goodly number of the congregation partook. Mr. Vanzella Jones, who is promoting the drama, "The Dream of Queen Ibera," to be given in this city next month, was also a visitor and gave a brief talk on her work. After the prayer service on Wednesday night, there will be meetings of the supervisors, directors and group leaders for the new financial plan. The super service, which was in thence at the Young Men's Club was well attended. After the usual traine and song service led by Dr. trainer in the absence of Mr. King the service was turned over to Mr. Sawyers, who brought a bag from 'Winston-Salem, N. Carolina' Dunbar was the band and sang exceptionally well. The super services will be continued throughout the month of September. We hope that the work will appreciate these services and not let the attendance fall off. Mr. Lora Pierce one of our parents was married on the 11th of April in Philadelphia to Cour- sell George E.

DAVIS Church Secretary St. Jude's Chapel Notes At the services held on last Sunday, the Rev. Edgar C. Young, of Phillips Brooks Memorial Chapel, Philadelphia, Pa., conducted them instead of the vicar, Rev. F. Howard, who still is enjoying his annual vacation. Dr Young is one of the most scholarly and forceful preachers in the ministry of the Episcopal church, and many have been helped spiritually by his ministrations here for the last three Sundays. Sunday, September 9, will be his last day of ministry among us. He will conduct the services at 8 a.m., 11 a.m., and at 8 p.m. At 11 a.m., he will preach on "The Daily Opponents of a Man," and in the evening at 8 p.m., he will preach on "The Needed Rightcousness of the Christian Life." Men are invited to come and bring others with them to these services. St. Paul Bapt. Church These are the days when things move rapidly. Monday night a large committee of men and women gathered at the pastor's home for the purpose of forming plans to secure certain new things for the kitchen and dining room of the church. That committee has worked so faithfully, and rapidly that the pastor learns that nearly everything needed has been pledged. This was accomplished by having notice given by the pulpit that all persons willing to give toward the shower, might see the committee in the dining room at the close of services. It was wonderful how the people responded. The light and pew people have retarded the church in its weekly meetings, since there are only temporary lights in the main auditorium, with a scattered few in the basement, these being not enough to make it possible for the services. On the other hand, the pew people seem to think that services are held only on Sundays, and hence, during the week the pews that they are installing have been in the way. All of these hindrances however, it is expected, will be out of the way after the present week. In spite of these, however, two very important meetings were held during the week. Wednesday and Friday nights, and, in these, the change in the attitude of people, and number of attendance were remarkable. For the first time since the church has been up town, in its new edifice, the building was turned over to the church Saturday. The removal of the sign of the builder and the placing of the church's bulletin board on the front with its announcements, had a telling effect on the services Sunday. People now realize that the church is actually open for business. The pastor preached in the morning on "Jesus And The Common People," in afternoon, under the Progressive Club, on "Unwearied Well Doug," and in the evening Rev. W. H. A. Booker preached "God Our Rock." Not only was attendance at all these services very good, but, at each service new members were taken in, and at the afternoon service there was one happy conversion. St. James Pres. Church The regular service on Sunday last brought to a close the vacation period at the Greater St. James Church. Many of the members who have been away for the summer months have returned to their place of worship. WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH After the sermon Miss Mac Adams of Harlem Hospital, connected herself with the church. Quite a crowd attended the morning service. The evening service, a culmination of Labor Sunday at St. James was conducted by the St. James Young, People's Society of Christion Endeavor. The service was conducted by the young people, headed by their retiring president, J. L. Morrison assisted by the president-elect, T. Oerr and St. James choir. A modern, practical sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Johnson, a retired minister of the Gospel from Charlotte, N. C. Dr. Johnson is the father of one of St. James' Christian Endease Society members, Mrs. Mattie Sutgraves, Dr. Johnson emphasized the importance of training the young people in the church, and thus draw them away from the many evils that awaits the youth in this city. At the close of the sermon, the doors of the church were opened, and Eugene Bumper of 443 West 163rd street, came forward and joined On Sunday, September 9, at the 11 a.m. service the Holy Communion will be administered and New Members will be welcomed and fellowshipped. A children's devotional address will be delivered by the pastor. All members are asked to be present on Sunday and friends are cordially invited.

There were solos excellently rendered by Tillman Forlace and Miss Olive Hopkins The sermon was preached by Rev. J Bowler of Mount Olivet Baptist Church Richmond, Va. He selected his text from 1 Kings 21-23. "The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezroel" "The theme of his discourse was whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap; also God is no respector of person. The discourse was touching in its appeal. At the evening service Rev. S. E. Stubblefield of Liberia, Africa, preached He selected his text from 1 Kings 18.2, "And Eljah went to show himself unto Abah and there was a sore famine in Samara." The theme of his discourse was Eljah reproveeth Abah, and his sign to determine the true God. It is true that we can not all go to Africa to determine the true God to them, but we can help by praying that their eyes may be opened and they may receive the true light Christ Jesus. Rev. Stubblefield is a native of Africa who came to this country to receive an education and intends to carry the gospel back to them. The offering for the day amounted to $500.53. St. Mark's M. E. Church The pastor, chor and a part of the membership, having returned from their respective vacation, St Mark's started upon its fall program on Sunday. The Junior Church held its services at ten o'clock. At 11 o'clock the pastor, Dr J W Robinson, preached a special sermon bearing on the significance of Labor Day. The text was taken from Proverb 22.29. Theme "The Business man." At one o'clock the pastor preached the funeral of Mrs Jenne Trottman, who was a member of St Mark's. The Church School, which has met in joint session with the junior church during July and August resumed its tall program at its regular hour, 2 o'clock. In the evening, Miss Ruth Llith presented a pageant, entitled, "Ishmael". The audience was greatly pleased with the dramatization of the Biblical characters. Refuge Church of Christ The National Convention that began Sunday, August 26, has been crowned with overwhelming success both in rendering praises to God and service to humanity. God has been glorified, songs prayers and Hallelujahs uttered by many voices from dawn to dusk and from dusk to the still and lonely hours of the night. The mighty name of the Lord Jesus has been praised in short from the rising of the sun to the song down thereof. Pastor Lawson appointed members of the Assembly to hours of prayer and supplication that covered each of the 24 hours of the days in order to make an unbreakable chain of prayer that would cover 24 hours. The ten o'clock prayer service which is held daily is led by, Elder A. R. Banks, a young minister from sunny Florida. The noon-day services have had the young ministers of the assembly to preach while the evening services, with the exception of a few nights, have had ministers of more experience or longer appointment. Apostle R. C. Lawson teaches Bible class beginning at 3 o'clock daily. Questions cheerfully audited at all times. All the delegates are comfortably seated in the church dining room, where they are served hot meals of an appetizing cuisine. Delegates are still pouring in, many driving their own machines, and others using the railway. The Refuge Church of Christ is truly the modern Mecca of Apostolic faith doctrines, and teaching embraced with the background of the New Testament Church with Jesus Christ as the chief corner stone. The first week has been devoted to revival meetings the second week that began Sunday, September 2, will comprise mostly business session. Dr. M. C. Neil presiding elder of the A. M. E. Zion Church and Elder Peter J. F. Brudges of the Pentecostal Assembly of the world were among the visiting ministers who favored the audience with short talks. Ministers Missionaries church workers, believers and unbelievers of all faiths, denominations or creeds are heartily invited. A special initiation to all races is extended.

Church Sunday was a successful day at Emanuel. Evidence that the vacation season has passed was seen from the large number of members and friends who were present at the services after spending their vacations in various parts of the country. The pastor, Rever D: W. Nichols, preached at the morning service, taking as his subject, "Gethsemane in our Lives." This was indeed an inspiring message. He pointed out that as followers of Jesus we must be willing to follow him in times of distress as well as in time of case. Gethsemane comes to every man, but if he seeks relief through prayer he will be victorious as was the Master. So well was the message brought to the hearts of those present, that seven persons joined the church. At the close of the sermon the Lord's Supper was served to an unusually large number. Appropriate music was rendered by the choir, which added to the beauty of the service Herbert A. Allen is the director. The Sunday school was well attended. Many new scholars were added to the roll. At four o'clock the Missionary Society held its regular monthly meeting. The speaker brought a stirring message. The pastor again preached at the evening service. He spoke from the subject, "The call to Worship." This was a short but sweet message Two persons united with the church On next Sunday morning the pastor will preach from the subject. "How May I Know That 'There is A God.'" A cordial welcome awaits all who attend our services Bethel A. M. E. Church The church school will present "A Dream of Queen Esther", as vision of the Young People's La-played by the Dramatic Sub-Decum, at the church Thursday night, September 13. There will be beautiful costumes and wonderful electrical effects. A successful moonlight bus excursion was conducted by the Young People's La-cyme last Thursday night when two cars left the church for Rockaway Beach. Pastor Sanders preached a glorious sermon to a large and appreciative audience. Sunday morning, theme, "The Cry of the Penitent Sinner." Important thought brought out m' the sermon was the great Love Jesus has for sinners. Faith is counted for righteousness No matter how sinful one might be he has only to comply with the terms of salvation in order to be saved. The Blood of Christ is sufficient to cleanse all sin It not worth all, to spend eternity with the Saviour. There were many accessions. A C E. L. hour was observed at 6 p. m. 8 p.m. the pastor preached a splendid sermon to the congregation. There were a large number of communicants The thung of greatest interest to the congregation for Sunday, September 9, is the rally for Christian education.

THE material contrast between the structures with which (Booker T. Washington) began and the present great, ample and commodious plant is sufficiently striking to be enough for man to bring about. But satisfactory and encouraging as this is, it is but an imperfectation and annual turning out of two or three hundred years, men and woman for live useful to themselves and their families is of course a most commendable and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he did and sought to accomplish.

Y. Evening World.) ..... Chicago, (A.P.)—The closest approach to the immortal Joe Gans flashed menacingly over the pugilistic horizon. The new star is Young Jack Thompson, sleek-looking young San Francisco Negro who caused a startling upset by knocking out Joe Dundee of Baltimore, the world's wetterweight champion, in the second round of their scheduled ten-round battle in the White Sox Park on Thursday night, August 30. John Henry Lloyd By JOHN F. CONDON In the southern town of Jacksonville, Fla., the subject of this sketch John Henry Lloyd' or Captain Lloyd, as he is dubbed by his mates, was born. He first opened his eyes at dawn The only reason Thompson is not awarded champion today was because Dundee forced him to weigh 148 pounds, one pound over the welterweight limit. Thompson, whose best fighting weight is 142 or 143 pounds, weighed 148-18 pounds when they weighed in Wednesday afternoon for their battle, which was postponed until last night because of rain. Dundee barely moved the beam at 147 pounds, but in the meantime, with twenty-four hours elapsing, Thompson managed to slough off the extra poundage, sending him into the ring near his best weight. Thompson, in conquering the welterweight king, made a tremendous impression. He seems to have inherited the great skill of his famous fellowman Gans. He possesses a sterling combination of a perfect boxer and a terrific two-handed puncher. His style is strikingly like the old lightweight master. San Francisco Negro proved it is fast and clever as was and that he can punch like a famous lightweight king of two decades ago. He revealed these sterling qualities when he knocked Dundee down twice in the second round and stood there waiting to deliver the finishing punch, when Referee Eddie Purdie mercifully stepped between them and stopped the uneven battle. Purdy's action gave Thompson a technical knock-out victory, but actually Dundee was out on his feet when Purdy carried him to his corner. Young jack, boxing cautiously and deliberately, used up the first round in feeling out the champion. There were several exchanges of blows, with honors about even in the second Thompson swarmed, all over the titleholder. A right hand shot to Dunder's chin sent him swelling across the ring. Thompson, wearing an ebergerz followed his advantage with a referral. Another terrific right cross knocked Dundee sprawling across the ring and stretched him flat on his face. Sorry Looking Boxer. The champion got up at nine, but he was a helpless, sorry looking fighter. Thompson charged in again with both hands flashing to Dundee's Dundee. Dundee sought shelter from the rain of his ropes, but Thompson stepped back, measured him, hanged over another fury of punches and Dundee went down again, this time on his back. He pulled himself to his feet at the count of nine but his arm hung limp, his eyes glassy and his legs stiff as he stood there reeling and waiting for the advance of his conqueror. He was defenseless and Purdy waved the Negro to his corner. Young Thompson comes from fighting stock. His father, who used to be a fighter and trained with Gans among others taught Young Jack a lot of the ring craft he had picked up from the "Old Master." The spectacular Negro has been in Chicago for two months, winning his three matches with ease. He came to the Midde West after failing to get matches on the Coast because nobody desired to be tossed into the ring with him. Joe Dundee won the wetterweight title in June, 1927, by defeating Pete Latro in a fifteen-round battle. About a year, before he won the championship Dundee was knocked out in the first round by Eddie Roberts of California in a hout on the Coast. Roberts and Dundee fought again at the Garden in January, 1927, and Dundee won the decision. The Philadelphia Professionals, one of the strongest white clubs in the East, will be the opponents of the Lincoln Giants at the Catholic Protectory Oval Sunday, September 9. In the Realm of Sport and the Theatre John Henry Lloyd In the southern town of Jacksonville, Fla., the subject of this sketch John Henry Lloyd or Captain Lloyd, as he is dubbed by his mates, was born. He first opened his eyes at dawn on April 25, 1884, and a premonition was indicated even at that early date, that he would he a great ball player, because his first announcement on this 'mindance sphere was expressed by a ball. The writer is reminded by a clubmate of the Captain, viz., "Bill" Gatewood, that no expressions of an extraordinary character or no polysyllabic utterance shall appear in this article on such a benign type. With Gatewood's caution ringing in my ears I state that John's early childhood was pretty much the same as all young boys until he finished elementary school and was admitted to high school. He was registered in Stanton High School and took up the study of history, algebra, civics, biology and commentaries in English literature, where care and training laid the foundation of his manhood. It did not take long to note his aptitude for and adaptation to our great national game. He was stationed at short field and he formed the nucleus as well as the kingpin for Stanton team. His reproachable character, his modest bearing, his pure language, conspicuously noticeable for the absence of questionable or proximate words, won for him the absolute respect for all with whom he came in contact. After he had gone to the eighth high school grade, the State team at Palatka secured his services and his record of assists, hits, and put-outs stands as a mark for all of his successors. His state called after the great tast of "Pascua de Florida," might well be proud of her stalwart sons and foremost among her ball players: John Henry Lloyd. His desire to come porch led him to the Macon, Ga. team, where necessity compelled him to play every position in the infield except pincher. His quick insight and his natural predictive tendency stamped him as the most valuable man of his team. Then he attracted the attention of that great manager, Edward La Mar, whom the writer taught with his brother, Peteret La Mar, and John Lloyd hinged his destiny on the baseball world on the great Cuban N Grants. With Ed La Mar's wonderful knowledge of the game coupled with the following star players, John advanced to the top notch as a star scientific player. He witnessed the lightning throws of Harrison he enjoyed the immitable humor of Clarence Williams, whose expressions of "Hit it man" Plenty room in the sky "Break the stitches! We have more new balls" "Let him run a little" "Twenty minutes too late" etc have been rehearsed year after year. "Setway and Big Bill Gatewood loved play with him. Roy Wilson Buckner, White, Thomas and last but not least Monroe, hailed by every urchin as "Mom," the star humorist sounded Captain Lloyd's praises far and near. He played with the Philadelphia Giants, Leland Giants of Chicago, then the Lincoln Giants and the Lelands thought so much of his personality, hearing, dignity and baseball acumen, that they again induced him to go West with the Chicagoans. The Brooklyn Royals demanded his return to the East, then Columbus, O., took him in 1921. The Bacharachs grabbed him in 1922 and Hildale, the champions, captured him in 1923. But James J. Keenan had an important gap to fill and he left no stone unturned until Like a blushing bride, John Henry Lloyd, after long pleading, answered "yes" Lloyd is at present with the Lincoln Giants and his remarkable equanimity his savvy, courteous demeanor and managerial power have become a household word. It is such men as Lloyd that elevate the profession of baseball, that raise the youth of this country to a higher plane, to higher ideals and to an intellectual standard, which makes John Henry Lloyd a model for the young men of our great country. Cricket In The Virgins By LORING B. PALMER. The long talked of game of cricket between St. John and St. Croix took-place July the fourth on the grounds at Emmaus, St. John, Virgin Islands. For weeks before the game, cricket was the chief topic of conversation on the island, and the usual subject of talk at this season, the probability of a hurricane had to give place to the love of sport that is strong in the heart of every West Indian. Cricket, as you know, is essentially a gentlemen's game, and the leading cricketers in the British islands, as well as in England herself, are scions of the first families of Britain. This fine sportsmanship pervades the game wherever it is played and the spirit of give and take is always manifest. The Englishman, wherever he may be, usually condemns injustice with one phrase,—"It is not cricket." Long before the time of the expected arrival of the Creusians in St. John, the wharf at Emmaus was crowded with eager enthusiasts waiting for the visitors. At last the putaput of the motor boat was heard at the entrance of the harbor and in a few minutes Dr. Canegata, captain of the St Croix team, stepped ashore, followed by his doughty warriors. The usual smiling face of the popular doctor wore a look of condescending confidence that seemed to say, "We come, we see, we conquer." Promptly at 9:15 the game began. Rev Osborne, captain of the local team, won the tops and graciously allowed the Creustans to take the wicket. Captain Canegate, who was expected to lead off, sent in his steed to the wicket, the irrededucable Edwards, whose reputation had preceded him from Santa Cruz. The ungainly christian, a certain local player, bowled. The first ball whizzed toward the stumps and the confident batsman fanned it. A curious book of surprise began to appear on his face which gave place to one of dismay as at the third ball the stumps fell and the umbre promptly called "Wicket," while the vells of the crowd could be heard almost at the other end of the island. The visiting rosters, led by Lawyer Hamilton Jackson discreetly held their peace. The genial Dr. Canegate began to realize that instead of a crowd of country boobs Rev Osborne had developed a team of wonderfully clever players. So the game went on and when recess was called the score showed St. John in the lead. All repaired to the Mission House where both teams fraternized over a delicious lunch prepared by Mrs Osborne. Aiter an hour's intermission, the game began again with St. John at bat. L. Martin was first bowler but our men found him with ease. Despite some criticism of the decisions of the St. Croix umbrella not a word was heard from the St. John players again demonstrating the fact that cricket is a gentlemen's game. It must be admitted that the Creusian players are a fine set of fellows and they won encounties of praise on every side. The game ended at 6:30 on account of darkness with a tie score 65 to 65. On another field, however, the Creusians were victors. Cupid crowned them with a laurel wreath and from all indications, quite a number of Coral Bay young ladies will soon change their names and place of residence. Our team journeyed to Tortola, our nearest British neighbor on August Monday. Emancipation Day in all the British West Indies, where they vanquished the strong team on that island. They next play St. Thomas in the early autumn after which they go to Santa Cruz to play off the tie. An all Virgin Island team made up of players from the three islands is practising to play the celebrated team from St. Kitts at an early date. Accompanying the St. Croix team to St. John on the yacht, 'To Windward were lawyer Hamilton Jackson, Prof. George Jackson, Mr. Frederick and several other gentlemen also Mrs. Bailey and her charming daughter Mrs. Irs who is a teacher in Christianaest. THE NEW YORK AGE Shows With Mixed As Bill Robinson recently remarked, "Eventually the Negro will take his place with white players in straight dramatic shows." As someone else has said, "Eventually, why not now?" All of which leads up to the fact that in "Goin' Home," the new play at the Hudson Theatre, Negroes do take their place alongside white players for the first time in the history of the American Theatre. In addition to an "ensemble" of ten colored doughboys, who are homeward bound after the war, "Goin' Home" enlist the services of four Negro principals, the positions of whose names on the houseboards indicate the importance of their parts. Clarence Redd, the giant Negro who plays Samba Saar, the Senegalese, has appeared in "Aphrodite," "Chu Chin Chow," "The Miracle" and "Kongo." Thomas Moseley, the deserter in "Goin Home," last appeared in "In Abraham's Bosom," and Leo. Bailey and Breward Burnett, the colored comedy team, have been in Negro musical shows and in vaudeville. These fourteen Negroes are taking their bows alongside eight white actors in the colored home. The rest of the colored contingent includes Seifert C. Pyle, F. Barclay Trigg, Ferdinand J. Aceoose, I. William Maxwell, Frederick D. McCoy, Chares H. Brown, Charles Benjamin, Fred H. Jenings, Ray Giles and Snippy Macon. Doc Strain's New Show At The Lincoln Theatre If a person had to form on opinion after witnessing the enthusiastic gathering that stormed the Lincoln Theatre on Monday afternoon and even, it would be that "Holiday Fantasies" could just as appropriately be named "Holiday Fancies" considering that such a large number of Harlemites "fancied" the Lincoln as the place to spend Labor Day. The popular "Doc" Strain heads a cast that includes such well-known entertainers as Cooper and Thomas, Gant and Perkins, Lillian Vusn' Freddie Robinson, Louis Dandridge and Winters and Metino Fun aplenty must have been warmly received for the crowd started roaring from the start of the show until it closed. Jimmie Marshall also adorns the cast responsible for the offering at the Lincoln this week. The McClain Sisters, who had been advertised to appear and went to far as to take pictures and had everybody believing that everything for their appearance was hotstots, faded away at the last minute, much to the surprise of every- Alabama State Normal Eleven Begins Practice Montgomery Ala.-With their first two games away from home and with the great intersectional classic with Langston University team of Oklahoma carded for Cramton Bowl here on Thursday, October 25, the athletic authorities at the Alabama State Normal School are beginning to think and talk football in rather serious tones. After a good season in 1927 that was marred by a single conference defeat at the hands of Atlanta University and was climaxed by the thrilling 0-0 tie of the Tuskegee Tigers on December 10, the veteran coaching staff of Alabama State is faced with a herculean task of replacing the losses suffered through graduation. That "Bama" forward wall that was rated among the best of the entire conference will be minus the services of Ralph Garner. All-American End. Captain William Anderson All-Southern tackle. Elisa Cambell. veteran center and Booker Lundsay. star tackle. Not only did these veterans receive junior college diplomas but the batting fullback. Robert Johnson, and the aerial artist, Rufus Lewis, were also in this graduating class and represent backfield losses. To this sextette of letter men must be added two or three more who will probably not return. On the credit side of the ledger, however, is a promising crop of letter-men and runners-up who have been nurtured rather solicitously by Coaches Jacobs, Lewis, Lockhart and Dunn. Among the letter men from 1927 will probably be Captain Garrick Hardy, Milledee Hall, Edgar Moore, William Cooley, George Burns, Major Brownt, A. D. Brown, William Coger, Alfonso Campbell, Arthur Fuller, Frank Lewis and Arthur Walton. Coach Lockhart is seeding up several good prospects from the Baby Hornets while there are those good men in the varsity squad of 33 who did not get letters but good prospects listed out among the new comers. --- THEATRICAL JOTTINGS By BOB SLATER Glenn and Jenkins are heading the bill at Loew's State Theatre, New York City.

In a plea filed Tuesday with the Equity council it is claimed that Robeson signed a contract last January to appear in a new American revue which was scheduled to go into rehearsal on September 15 under the sponsorship of Carolyn Dudley. Miss Dudley, it is said, produced the first revue starring Josephine Baker in Paris. Florenz Ziegfeld also claims to have Robeson under contract to sing the "Ol' Man River" role in the second American company of "Show Boat". At present Robeson is singing this part in the London company and Equity has suspended him until he has satisfactorily explained the status of the two contracts.

D, did some special work in music in Chicago. He was accompanied by his 10-year old daughter, Josephine Harreld, a promising young pianist, who also took some special courses in her line. Mrs. Claudia White Harreld, wife and mother; Mrs. Josephine White Williams and Miss Claudia Butler, sister and niece of Mrs. Harreld, accompanied them, the family taking an apartment on Champlain avenue during their stay in Chicago. At conclusion of their studies, the Harreld family spent a week at Idlewild at the home of Hazel Harrison, the distinguished pianist. From Idlewild the party minored to their southern home by easy stages, stopping over enroute at Xenia, Ohio, for a brief visit with Mrs. Ada Young, widow of the late Col. Charles Young of the United States Army. Another stop was made at Benton Harbor, Mich., where Miss Josephine Harreld appeared in recital. The account of this recital, as given in the Chicago Defender, is as follows: Miss Harreld's Piano Recital Mr. Mich., August 31.—The large special, given at the First Baptist Church, old Josephine Harreld, gifted a violinist, marveled at the which the extremely youthful enter Harreld appeared on the local dances' guild of St. Stephen's Episcopal Ernestine Burton, soprano, l.

Benton Harbor, Mich, August 31—The large crowd attending the delightful piano recital, given at the First Baptist church last Monday evening, by 13-year-old Josephine Harreld, gifted daughter of Kemper Harreld, noted concert violinist, marveled at the genuine ability and musical feeling which the extremely youthful entertainer exhibited. Young Miss. Harreld appeared on the local program, under the auspices of the ladies' guild of St. Stephen's Episcopal church, and was assisted by Miss Ernestine Burton, soprano, talented daughter of Dr. and Mrs W. H. Burton, of Brunswick Avenue, who is a teacher of music at Bennett College for Women at Greensboro, N. C. During their stay in the twin cities she and her parents were guests of Mr. and Mrs. William Ryder of St. Joseph. They came here from northern Michigan, where they have been resorting after a period of study in Chicago, and returned to Atlanta, Ga, their home city Tuesday. Miss Harreld opened her program with "Bourree," by Bach, which was played with a mature artistry. Grieg Number Well Done number, "Sonata in E Minor" to be displayed to advantage a wealth of vision.

BUTLER, COMPOSED In the Grieg number, "Sonata in 'E Minor" in four movements, which followed, she displayed to advantage a wealth of musical feeling and a broadth of vision. Grieg was interpreted with serious beauty. The Andante and Allegro Maestoso movements were unusually well done. It was difficult to memorize such a long and heavy sonata. Miss Harreld's third group consisted of lighter numbers. "Demand et Response," by Coleridge-Taylor, was rendered with ease and abandon. "Valse Caprice," by Cyril Scott and Mendelssohn's "Hunting Song," were much enjoyed, but in "Sarabande," by Debussy, the musician was given an opportunity for depth and a good singing tone. A bravura performance of "Rhapsodie, No. 10," by Liszt, was thoroughly exhilarating. The great chords fairly thundered while the lighter passages were like tinkling bells. Fingers were firm in the large chords but nimble and swift in the rapid scale passages. The entire number was given with a dash and brilliance that won for the young musician such repeated applause that she responded to an encore. The musician's stage manner is unassuming and she plays in a simple, straightforward manner. FRANK S. BUTLER, COMPOSER, AUTHOR By ALEXANDER SEYMOUR heroes who have not and may not. Likewise, there are those amo n their various chosen endeavors not receive- a "Harmon Award" continue to accomplish things the thinking of leaders in the many a energetic, intelligent music tea Many are the heroes who have not and may not receive a medal for unusual bravery. Likewise, there are those among us who are not only outstanding in their various chosen endeavors, but also are pioneers who may not receive a "Harmon Award" nor a "Spingarn Medal," yet who continue to accomplish things that are most uncommon. And while thinking of leaders in the many fields of labor, I am reminded of an energetic, intelligent music teacher, composer and author of a music text book of the first order, a book which many teachers have spoken of in high terms, and one which they are using to good advantages. This skillful and successful character, who is one of the foremost in the musical world, is largely known to many of the leading musicians and music teachers of the other race living in the city of New York, and to host of students of all nationalities who find themselves blest for having seized the opportunity of being his pupils. But to the majority of the colored musical people, students and public in general, it should interest them to know that the progressive, yet modest gentleman referred to above, is none other than Mr. Frank S. Buffer of New York City. In the city of Boston, in the early part of the year 1905, Mr. Butler began his studies in music. Having made up his mind to master the piano, theory and harmony, he found one of the leading teachers in the person of Eugene Thayer, who was his first instructor. Coming to New York City in 1909, Mr. Butler engaged in professional piano playing until the year 1914, when he established the "Butler School of Music" at 122 West 135th street, New York City, teaching piano, theory and harmony. After four years of teaching, composing and arranging of music at this address, Mr. Butler moved his school to 143M Broadway, where the number of students grew so rapidly that he was forced to seek larger quarters, following a stay of five years. Studies of Mr. Butler are now located at 158 West 74th street, New York City. Instruction is given to advanced students in piano, theory, harmony and composition. The school has a vocal department under the direction of Ethel R Day. During the past ten years, Mr. Butler has studied with an imposing array of celebrities, the first being Theodore Tobani, composer of Hearts and Flowers, and one time music editor for Carl Fisher; A.M. Angul, Carl M. Roeder, Gustav Becker, Frederick Raisborg, one time pupil of the old master, Liast, and one of the editors of "Musical Counter," and Alberta Jonas. Also at the Institute of Musical Art, where the course of supervisor, of music was completed. Then Mr. Butler studied aural harmony with Franklin D. Robinson, direction of theory and harmony for the American Orchestral Society and hollard foundation. Mr Butler later was accepted as a pupil and protege of Mortimer Wise in the eminent composer-conductor, pupil of Max Reger, and diplomat in music at University of Nebraska, later a teacher at Leipzig University and also at Brenau College. As a result of Mr. Butler's intensive and extensive study, plus his years of experience, he has composed a large number of compositions, among them, "Blossom," a classic for the piano, which number was published for both piano and full orchestra, by Emil Archer, New York publisher. Recognizing the insistent, widespread and ever-growing demand for a thorough and comprehensive course of instruction in modern music, applied to pianoforoze playing, Mr Butler decided to write a book for the beginner or advanced student, that would eliminate all the necessary work and drudgery attendant upon the study of the piano. The book became an instant success and has been used and endured by the world's most eminent authorities. I and W. Body, a former manager of "Chefstensen School of Music," is now conducting his own schools in the States of Ohio and Pennsylvania, writes under date of June 16, 1928: "After careful study of your 'Master School,' I heartily agree that it is all you claim to be. In my estimation, if surpasses all other methods in many ways, I will be very glad for the opportunity of adopting it for my instruction book." Since writing this letter, Mr. Bodley has signed a contract to use only as his text book "The Master School of Professional Piano Driving," byrner, Butter, and has mastered more than two dozen copies. from the School of Music, W. A. Frost/director located at 150 West 27th street, New York City. "I want to tell you how well we like your Master School of Piano Playing, and also give you a check for one-half dozen copies. I noted a copy of your book in Carl Fischer's window. You will have enormous sales for this method when it once gets reproduced. You are the first in the field for such a pretentious work..." Mr. Butler has built up a first-rate school, composed of about 98 per cent, white students, living in and near the City of New York. At the present he is the only one—the pioneer of his race—to establish and conduct a successful music school in the downtown division, in the midst of the private school section. M.

"Negro Jazz Bands" Made Up Of Frenchmen "Negro Jazz Bands" Made Up Of Frenchmen By JESSE O. THOMAS BY JESSE G. THOMAS The Negro musician has made for himself and race a splendid record in many of the cities in Continental Europe. In none of these cities he is more popular than Party France, in several cities in Paris, two orchestras are employed, one composed of Negroes, the other of Brennichens, and they alterate in providing entertainment for the "night, lifes" who come from all parts of the world to this city of unbounded hospitality and unrestrained social behaviour. The contrast in the response of the dancers to the Negro orchestras is compared to the French orchestras, which were pronounced. There such a demand for Negro jazz players in Paris that one group of French musicians adopted a unique method of capitalizing the popular use of the Negro musicians. At the *Le De Die* Horaceus' the French orchestra supplying music for this place of amusement painted on the head of the drums in large red letters in *hold relief* "NEGRO" *AZZ-ORCHESTRA* notwithstanding not a single member of the orchestra can be claimed by the race. Paul Robeson, as an actor and singer of Negro Spirituals, has won for himself equally as envious a place in the appreciation of the theatre goers and music lovers of Loni The Ruth Ellis Players gave a splendid performance of the Biblical play, "Ishmael," on Sunday night at St. Mark's M. E. Church in lieu of the regular night service. Miss Ellis, who has won a distinctive place as dramatic interpreter, has given of her best effort in coaching the young players associated with her in this company, and their work. Sunday night was smooth and well-proportioned. Miss Ellis is making a special study of several Biblical plays which are adapted to church presentation and is planning to give these plays in the churches of this and other communities as opportunity offer. The next presentation will be on: Sunday, October 7, at Grace Congregational Church. The cast of players is as follows: "Hagar" ..... Ruth Ellis "Abraham" ..... James Mosley "Sarah" ..... Marion Wallace "Ismael" ..... William Chisholm "Shepherd" ..... Paul Harrigan "Announcer" ..... William Daniels ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM Isadore Myers, pianist, has been working at the Roosevelt Theatre for some weeks, playing piano with the orchestra. Desiring to take a course in the morticians art, Izzy had to secure a substitute 15 play for him at the theatre on afternoons when he was absent taking his course. Izzy phoned Peter Brown and engaged him as sub to play at the theatre on afternoons for six weeks, th duration of Izzy's course. Pete accepted the job and started on a Monday afternoon. On Tuesday the next day, Pete appeared at the Theatre ready to work. The orchestra was in the pit ready to play when a lady approached the violin player, Donovan David, with the remark that she had been sent to play with the orchestra as pianist. David disclaimed any authority in the case, saying he was a violinist and not an accredited leader of the orchestra. Pete was sitting at the piano and refused to get up unless David told him to and the lady was demanding that she be allowed to pay as she was sent by the management for that purpose. The picture was flicking on the screen menwhile unnoticed, the audience being more interested in the "Comedy of the Pit" than the green picture. A request was made for the ladies Union Card. She refused to show it unless to Sergant-at-arms Minton. Minton was phoned, but knew nothing about the lady's card. The house manager was off for the day. Mr Shapiro, manager of the Douglas Theatre and also interested in the Roosevelt, was phoned and it is alleged, replied to let the lady play. Pete left the piano and the lady played for a half hour; when the regular orchestra, recess of a half hour was taken. On resumption of the afternoon session, Pete was chosen to play, instead of the lady because she could produce no card, and the men of the orchestra did not want to incur a fine for playing with a non-member against the rules of Local 802. Since that Tuesday Pete has not been allowed to pay, Izzy Meyers having secured the services of Percy DeToro as sub. And Pete Brown has filed a claim at the Union against Izzy, claiming nearly $200 for six weeks services. The case had a hearing on September 3rd, and there are so many angles to it, it will be interesting to know the finding of the Trial Board. Pete worked two afternoons; there was no question of his competency and was discharged by the management, it is alleged for personnel reasons. Will the Trial Board make Izzy pay Pete 6 weeks salary out of Izzy's own pocket? Assuming even that Pete gets two weeks salary, would this be a hardship on Izzy, compelling him to pay for two subs? It is to be remembered that Pete and Izzy are members of local 802 and as such can be disciplined. The manager is 'exempt from union direct control in such cases. It is alleged that the management claims that Pete knew he was blacklisted with them and should not have taken the engagement from Izzy, Pete admits he had worked for the Douglas six months and got notice to quit. Since leaving the Douglas he has worked as substitute in both the other houses controlled by the syndicate with their knowledge and consent. There is also a mysterious letter, alleged to have been written by Mr. Shapiro to Myers which will figure in the case on Tuesday. Here is a case that has assumed such proportions that incidentally the church has been brought in the case. Deacon Johnson Singers and Players, has amoyed, to, 321, Edges combe avenue, a few yards farther north of his previous location. We wish the pioneer continued success in his administration of Singers and Players in his new domicile. Deacon caters to the aristocracy of New York and always strives to give service and make every engagement a repeat. Phone numbers continue the same. The Life Insurance Co. of Washington, insuring all persons affiliated with the A. F. of Labor has just started to satisfy the first claim of its kind since the issuance of policies to Local 802. There is a clause in the policy which empowers the insurance company to pay $1,000 death benefit to the insured in case of total disability. A colored musician of Local 802 has been unfortunate, and finds himself totally disabled, and on application to the insurance company-promptly receives the necessary papers to enable him to receive the $1000 in regular monthly payments until the full amount has been received by the unfortunate musician.

RHODE ISLANDERS HEAR DR. TOBIAS ON NEGRO HEROISM Speaks At Observance Of Anniversary of Battle Of Rhode Island Newport, R. L.-Negro participation in the observance of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Rhode Island reached its climax in the address at the dinner at Newport Beach which was delivered by the Rev. Channing H. Tobias, senior secretary for colored work of the National Y. M. C. A., of New York City. Dr. Tobias was invited by the City of Newport and the local N. A. A. C. P., and the other speakers were Senator David I. Walsh of Massachusetts; Mrs. Mary Howe Elliott, daughter of Julia Howe, author of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," and former Congressman Ferry Belmont, a descendant of Commodore Perry. The race was represented on the citizens' committee which promoted the celebration by the Rev. I. V. Jeffries, Dr. W. K. Hopes and J. H. Matthews, chairman of the local N. A. A. C. P., and among the six hundred diners was a large representation from the wealthy summer colony. One of the twelve floats in the parade was descriptive of the part taken by Negro troops in the battle, and colored citizens took part in the sham battle. What The Race Expects Dr. Tobias told of deeds of the Negro troops taking part in the Battle of Rhode Island, and of the heroism displayed by 200 Negro soldiers at Butts Hill. Then he reminded the audience of some of the things that Negroes expects of a country for which they had shed their blood in battle. Said he: "The Negro expects freedom from public and private insult as expressed in legalized or traditional segregation of every sort; he expects freedom from ruth violence which is largely the result of a double standard of personality in 'American life; he expects freedom from easy assumption of superiority unsupported by facts; he desires freedom to establish residence among other groups by which he may demonstrate his respectability and usefulness as a neighbor; he desires freedom to secure gainful employment upon the merits of his fitness to render service; and finally, he desires to be free to exercise the citizenship right of the franchise unmolested, which carries with it the right to choose the party with which he will affiliate and the candidate whom he will support on the merits of current issues, rather than on the ground of showing gratitude for past favors." At the close of his address · Dr. Tobias was greeted by tremendous applause. Guests At Laster Cottage Spring Lake Beach, N. J.—Guests at Laster Cottage the past weekend were Dr. W. E. B.

MORGAN AN ENCOURAGING SIGN Whoever thinks the colored race in America is not developing race pride, race consciousness and all the other attributes which go to make up racial progress, he should gaze and listen to John Henry, a Pullman porter running up New England's way. Porter Henry avers that he saw on his car, one day last week, one of the most encouraging signs of race advancement that he has noted for some time, and that what he saw should be of interest to the Negro press. We relate his story as it was related to us. Say, you talk about your Negro business league, your Negro millionaires and your magnificent religious structures, as being signs of no progress, but I saw something in my car the other day that proved to me more conclusively than anything else that I have seen or heard for a long while that Negroes are getting race conscious. The incident itself was trivial, but it impressed me. The passenger was a young colored girl, somewhere in the teens. She wasn't what you'd call a flapper, or one of those modern misses, who ask for matches before they go to their seats, but she was most modern in her attire. Her hat was one of those new style bonnets that the young girls wear with such becoming case; her rock was of that loud pattern material which seems to be the vogue in feminine dress; her shoes were of the same color, design as the dress she wore, what they are called I don't know but they were the latest thing in ladies footwear, anyway. Everything she wore corresponded and fitted. She was a picture. I tell you. The bag she carried was also of the style used by the woman traveler of class. And when I escorted her to her seat, she sat down with that polise and grace which is inbred and not acquired. I also noted this because she didn't betray that self-conscious air of thinking that she was the observed of all observers. You know, we carry quite a number of colored people between New York and Boston, and other towns in New England, on my train. I have noticed that most of these assume one of two attitudes. They either act as though they want to be seen, or thy act as if they are afraid they will be seen. Of the two types, the former are the most tiresome. But this young woman acted neither one way nor the other. It was patent that she had traveled many times before in Pullman cars. When she entered the car, I noticed that she carried a book and several newspapers. Passing by her seat, I glanced at the papers, not with any thoughts of being inquisitive as to her reading matter, taking for granted that they were the afternoon's New York papers. Now guess what papera they were? No, No, No; Well, I know you can't. They were two Negro newspapers. One was a well-known Negro weekly and th other was a paper you call the Tell-tales, Tattle or some such name as that. It was a Negro paper anyway, for the picture of a colored woman was on the front page. Now, when I saw that I said to myself. We colored people are surely progressing. We are beginning to bring our own newspapers on the train, something I never saw before in the twenty-five years I have been a Pullman porter. Negroes have always impressed me as being ashamed to be seen reading a Negro newspaper in public. Why? I’ve never been able to learn. “I have handled all sorts of colored people during my years on the road, but that was the first time I ever saw one who brought a Negro newspaper aboard a Pullman car. “Oh, yes, it is nothing out of, the ordinary to see one with a dozen or so of white periodicals, and they include everything from the Daily News and the Daily Mirror to the New Yorker and Town Topics. Without, in justice to those who come aboard so repleted, I have noticed that the scenery along the route was always more interesting, seemingly, than the reading matter. I suppose they read when they get to their destination. But, we colored people are advancing, believe me, for I certainly saw a sign of it last week.” On the other hand, Joseph Foulks, a Negro car cleaner is not so optimistic about race consciousness. Foulk is head cleaner over a gang of Pullman car cleaners, at Mott Haven Yard. His gang belongs to the night cleaning shift, of which there are two gangs. One has a white man for an overseer; the other is boasted by Foulks. It was the Monday morning following the recent three days of rain. The car looked like a lot of babies had been allowed by their mothers to use the carpet as a playground. Cuspidors were unclean; wash basins unpolished, in fact, the car presented just the opposite appearance of how a Pullman is supposed to look when it is in condition to receive passengers. The porter of the car was fussing and jumping about its condition. Foulks, going his round of inspection, entered about this time. "Well," said the Negro boss, with a West Indian accent, "how is everything?" "Roiten," returned the porter, "can't you see for yourself the condition of this car." "Yes," after a hasty inspection, answered the gang's overseer. "I see. Last night, was a hard night, you know. Rained all night. Short of help. How long before you receive? "Fifty minutes" replied the porter. "All right, I'll have her in shape in fifteen minutes." And he did. When he had finished. He turned to the porter and said: "Negroes will not understand, they will not learn. Now they give me the job of head cleaner of one of the two gangs, that clean these cars at night. The other head cleaner is a white man. And would you believe me, Damn if the Negroes of my gang don't do everything to throw me down, while the Negroes of the white cleaner's gang work to hold him up. My men don't get the idea that when they do work like this I am the one who is held responsible, and how can I make good with the man over me, if they don't try to help me? After Foulks had passed out the car, the porter turned to the person who had entered the car during the talk and said: "Not so good for race progress." Penn Terminal Items H. C.

At a recent talk, it was pointed out that the playing of children in the streets' is a prolific source of danger. This has been emphasized Dr. D. H. Mackie is now located at 406 West 146th street.

Many accidents in Harlem occur because of the reckless way in which the youngsters dart about in playing baseball, basetball, punchball and other games, or in "catting-on behind" of trucks, street cars, etc. The park and school yard playgrounds opened in Harlem, and the several Day Nurseries now in operation, are for the use of those children whose parents are out daily at work and for those whose only outdoor activity is gotten in the streets.
