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.

Rejected 263 Names.
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.

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.

Mrs. Warner made special reference to the candidacy of the Rev. William P. Hayes to Congress from the 21st Con-

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

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.

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.
Sincerely yours. WILLIAM P. HAYES.

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.

Attorney J. 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:

"My dear Dr. Miller:
"I was very much pleased not long ago, to see by th race papers that you still were advising the 'Brother' to vote the Republican ticket, but was not surprised, as for all the years I have known you, you have always kept your feet on the ground.
Amazed. at Bolting
"I am amazed, to see so many prominent, race 'men' refusing to serve on the Republican Campaign Committee, and to find them even bolting in Florida and Virginia, and am very much afraid the contagion will spread throughout the doubtful states, and if it does, it may defeat the election of Mr. Hoover.
"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.

"Please, Dr. Miller, exert yourself to help change the present situation as far as our folks are concerned. Sincerely yours," J. DOUGLAS WETMORE
Victory Life Agent
Goes To Washington
Leroy W. Thornton, one of the leading agents of the New York office of Victory Life, has been offered the management of the Washington, D. C., branch of the company, formerly under J. Percy Bond, who was promoted to the supervisorship of Maryland, Virginia and D. C.
This recognition to Mr. Thornton is a fitting acknowledgement of his hard work and serious study.
Manager Foster of the New York office announces that similar opportunities are open to young men of vision and capacity who are not afraid of hard work and plenty money. For the training of life insurance salesmen the New York office announces its fall class beginning Monday evening, September 10, at 7:30 and continuing for four weeks, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings at 2210 Seventh avenue.

After a spirited contest between Baltimore, Kansas City and Atlantic City, the seashore city was awarded the 1929 session of the Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. 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

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. Ella G. Berry of Chicago was reelected head of the Daughter
Indigestion Relieved
"I drive a car for hire," says Mr. Ike Sabel, of Gadsden, Ala., "and have to get up and go, early and late. Consequently I can't have regular hours for eating and sleeping. I occasionally have indigestion and find it necessary to take a laxative. I had heard of
Thedford's
BLACK-DRAUGHT
for a long time. The drug-
gist told me Black-Draught
would help me. I bought a
package and had it made in-
to tea and take it any time I
feel the need of a laxative.
It always helps me. I have
much better appetite after I
take Black-Draught. I can eat
about everything I want and
feel full of pep. I would not
be without it for double the
price."
Black-Draught can be taken
dry or made into a tea, as you
prefer. Either way, it costs
only one cent a dose.

* HOOVER AND LIBERIA.
+ Considerable effort has heen made by
Democratic papers to connect Herbert
Hoover with the Firestone rubber “conces-
sion in: Liberia in a manner that would
discredit the Republican candidate for the
Presidency. This criticism was based on
w report made by Prof, Raymond Buell,
which was first given publicity in the
fEnglish and West African press, Mr.
[Hoover was charged with forcing the
[Firestone concession upon Liberia, while
Secretary of Commerce, and the Firestone
‘feoncern was accused of using forced Ia.
‘per to work its rubber plantations. _.Prof.
Buell -recently repeated his charges be-
Hore the Williamstown Institute of Poli-
‘fits, which were refuted hy a statement
jtmade by President C.D. B Kifg of Li.

"pune * :

[Liberian government was coerced by the
(United States ‘officials into accepting the

otiations which lasted over a space of

statement of Prof. Ruell that the scheme
fnvolves the control of Liberia by Ameri-
"can officials as “untrue and mischievous."
He said that the opportunity offered by
the Firestone ‘operation was seized with

“Mr. Firestone, in a statement given to

DIVISION OF THE VOTE.
Much has beg: said and written as to
‘he desirability of @ division of the Ne-
Bro vote among the various politico! par-
‘ties in this land. Some progress has been
made in that direction in municipal and
Btate elections in the North and West,
and even in bond elections in some of the
larger Southern cities But in presiden-
tial campaigns there has heen but little
encouragement for the voters of the race
to divide their ballots, awing to the ner-
sistence af the South. in clinging to the
doctrine of white supremacy. and de-
nouncing any participation in the fran-
chise by the blacks, as invaling the so-
talled menace of Negro domination. ,
‘The revival of this political bogy has
Leen the means adopted to stile the .op-
position to Governor Simth’s candidacy
growing- aut of his views on prohibion
and his religion. Kditor Clark Howell of
the Atlanta Constitution, ‘early im’ the
campaign raised the hatle ery of white
supremacy as the supreme iste to keep
the Ku Klux and the Anti-Saloonleag-
uers from supporting Hoover, Senator
Blease of South Carolina, ina speech
made at Florence, was quoted as warning
his hearers against «upporting a Repub.
Jican for President hy ‘saying: "A few
years ago you had a nigger postmaster.
“Ifyou want another nigger postmaster,
vote for Hoover.” -This racial intolerance
in the-South has reacted to hamper .the
efforts of those political workers pf, both
races, who favored a division of the vote
in the North, 22 .
‘Those ‘White Northern Democrats of
liberal. convictions ’ and policies ‘have
either been ‘silenced or tacitly. assented
to the domination of Southern éentinient
in dealing with the ‘Negro .in National
affairs: To be sure, conditions among the
Republicans in most Southern statey are
not’ much better with thesLilywhiges in
control and the black Republicans iéle-
gated to a back ‘seat in, party affairs. ‘Mhis
was dorie 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 Heover under these con-
ditions, he finds himself with such strange
political bedfellows as the members" of
the: Ku Klux Klan and the Anti-Saloon
League. ~~
Itvis useless to deity that there is con-
siderable sentiment’in favor of Governor
Smith among colofed voters in- the
North although there does not appear to
be any tangible reason to actount for it.
During: his three terms as Governor of
New York State he hag given the race but
scant recognition in appointments: to po-
litical officg and repeptedly vetoed the
bill that might have enabled them to elect
‘one of their group as a city mpgistrate in
Harlem, In his letter af acceptance
while advocating broad humanitarian
views, he failed to include the Negro in
the melting pot of Americanism, “To a
lagge extent he has, ignored the race ques
tion, 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. Ever
granting that Governor Smith should be
elected President and prove no batter nor
worse than his predecessors, it must be
remembered that his successor, in cas
of any Vacancy, would be Senator Robin
son of Arkansas, the worst type’of a
Southern Negro-hater that could have
been selected. * -
‘The present campaign docs not appeat
to be an appropriate occasion ta-warrant
any serious division of the. Negra vote
l4he Southern Democrats are not. vel
ready for it and the’ Northern Democrat:
are ton subservient to ‘the South" to fore
the issue. .
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 re-
turn refreshed and’ invigorataed from a
summer‘at the seashore or in the moun-
tains 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 con:
ditions of city life and brought renewed
vigor for the ‘regular routine of school
work.
Ample provision haz been made by the
city for the training and instruction of
youth, “This has been accepted as the
duty and obhgation of civie government
andthe munigipality has striven to keep
pace with the growing population in pro
viding adequate school facilities, It then
becomes the duty of parents and guard:
ians to see that the children make the
most of these opportunities so amply pra-
vided. Those children, of school age
should be properly’ entered as pupils in
their school district. Strict attention
should he given to the details of personal
cleanliness and neatness of attire on the
part of the pupils. Such articles as arc
not furnished hy’ the school authorities
should be provided hy the parents, who
should also enforce regular and punetual
attendance. |g
With a measure of cooperation on the
part of parents and teachers, attendance
at schoal could be made pleasant and at.
tractive for pupils and divested of the ade
that it must necessarily be a routine to
tov chivked wccaveitek. *
DRASTIC PRIMARY METHODS,
The primary elections in any. pihtical
party are prosided ti afford the enrolled
voters thé 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 spin:
ion are supposed to affect the loyalty of
the voters-to party principles. The choice
of the majority, fairly arrived at, should
command the aolid’partyvote, the Tinor-
ity accepting the decixion at the primary
as hinding upon all loyal inembers of the
party. With this understanding of the
purpose of the primary election, the meth-
ods adopted by the present leader of the
Nineteenth Assembly district in seeking
to ernsh opposition to his candidacy: ap-
pear to be intended to prevent anv free
expression of the choice af the voters. -
Inspectora to serve, at the primaries are
appointed for. one year and are not sub:
THE NEW YORK AGE
ject to removal ‘within that’ time except
for, tause.” It has happened ‘that some of
these-inapectors in the Nineteenth district
who favored the designatién -of Myles
Paige for: Assemblyman, were removed
by, order of Assemblyman Grenthal
through his influence exercised through
‘the County Chairman, ‘This interference
with the regulac functioning of the prim-
ary machinery is an autocratic abuse of
power intended to suppress the .opposi-
tion to Grenthal's renomination. It not
Gnly 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 Con-
gressiona) nomination; but no such ineth-
od of stifling the sentiments of the voters
has been resorted to in their case. En-
tire freedom for every worker and elec-
tion district captain to work for whom-
ever he pleased wai 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 rea-
son why the district leader and the Coun
ty Chairman should harhor the belief that
black voters are not entitled to the same
treatment as white voters, Such ¢meth-
ods, if persisted in, can only result in
breeding such dissension in the party as
will alienate a large portion of its mem-
bership and bring about the loss of an-
other scat in the Assembly. -
The Negro voters of the district, de-
spite these underhand methods, should
redouble their efforts to defeat Grenthal
Jand 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
ina district’ where they furnish nine:
tenths of the vote for Republican candi:
dates. District leaders and the County
chairman must be maie to understand
that our voters demand and are entitlec
to the same measure of representatior
that any other group of voters ean, com
mand. The only way to force such ar
understanding is hy voting int the prim:
ary for Paige for Assembly,
Grenthal is on the run, as his desper:
ate efforts to stifle ppposition show. He
should he kept going until he retires tc
the district where he belongs.
STARTING A CAMPAIGN RIGHT.
The meeting of the committee in charge
of thé Colored Voters division, in connec-
tion with the Republican National Com:
mittee, was held at the national headquar-
ters in Washington, tinder most favorable
auspices! The menibers of the .commit-
tec present registered their confidence in
the chairman and secretart, despite some
published criticisms as to their being non-
voters, The outstanding. character and
ability lof both these officers in the vari-
‘ous organizations with which they have
been identified, was ample evidence that
their choice to handle the campaign for
the ‘Republican ticket was no. blind ven-
ture. - =
Dr, Hubert Work, the chturman of the
National Repubhcan Committee, in ad-
dressing the meeting, said that he believed
that the present election meant: more to
‘the race today than, any previous elec:
tion, hecause Hoover, if clected, would
be fair to all clements of onc population.
His record ag Secretary of Commerce and

discrimination or bias on race or religion.
Mrs Hertz, a leader among the Repub-
liewn wanteh, spoke of the friendly atti-
tude manifested toward the race and asked
the cooperation of our outstanding won
emer.
The Age believed in the availability o!

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

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. Hatt, New York.

ess Cecelis Harrison, Mrs. Pearl LeMan, Mrs. George Jones, Wiley Wilson Hospital, Mrs. Samuel A. Taylor, Dunbar Garden apartments, 231 West 149 Street and Mrs. Batrice Donnell, 83 St. Nicholas Place.
Miss Ruth Ellis is presenting the drama "Ishmael", on the 7th of October at 3:30. This comes under the autumn group which is supervised by Mr. James T. Payne. All "Groups" are invited to assist. Word was received at the ending of the service that Mrs. A. C. Garner, wife of our pastor had, met with a serious accident. At the time of writing she was resting comfortably.
ELIZAZBETH H. 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.

Mt. Olivet Baptist Church
There was a large attendance at the morning service of Mount Olivet Baptist Church. 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.

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.

Emanuel A. M. E. 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

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.

Western Negro Boxer Hailed As Second Joe Gans; Scores K. O. Over Joe Dundee, Welter Champ
(From The N. 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.

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.

Paul Robeson Gets 30-Day Suspension From Actor's Equity
Paul Robeson, the singer, has been suspended for thirty days beginning September 1 from the Actors' Equity Association while a dispute over contracts with producers is being debated. 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. Gilbert Holloway recently una

Austin has contributed notable face characterizations in "It," and "Honeymoon Hate." As for Lionel Barrymore, his most recent screen role was enacted in Gloria Swanson's "Sadie Thompson." Tully Marsahl, the fifth member of Mr. Griffith's featured cast was the scout in "The Covered Wagon."
sent to London, to replace Robeson in order that the latter might return to this country. However, Sir Alfred Butt, co-producer with Zeegfeld of the London show, protested to strongly against Robeson's return that the singer may be allowed to remain abroad, with Holloway returning to New York for the "Show Boat" role.
Mrs. Robeson has returned to New York and will appear before Equity to represent her husband.

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE, AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES
BY JAMES M. 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."
