KEPT 3 DAYS, BOUND, BLINDFOLDED and GAGGED Presbyterian Medical Center Does Not Admit Colored Nurses To Take Post Graduate Work In Sloane Hosp. Freedmen's Hospital Nurse Is Accepted For 3-Months Course But After Reporting And Assignment Was Barred Because of Race According to a report given out by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Joint Administrative Board of the Presbyterian Hospital and Medical Center, does not permit colored nurses to take graduate work at the Sloan Maternity Hospital, which is affiliated with the Center. Miss Gladys L. Cathings, who is registered, and was supervisor of the obstetrical department of the Freedmen's Hospital, Washington, applied by letter May 7 for admission to the hospital's three months course for graduate nurses. The application was accompanied by a letter of recommendation from Dr. P. A. Warfield, surgeon-in-chief at Freedman Hospital. OBJECT TO TERMS OF WILL GIVING DAUGHTER A HOME Other Children of Birch Family Say Girl Was Assigned To Duty. Miss Catchling was accepted and told to report to the hospital on July 31 and was assigned a room upon her arrival. She attended class and reported to assigned duty after class on August 1. Later that morning she was called to the office of the superintendent; Miss Byrue, and told that because she was colored there was no opportunity available for her to continue the course. Miss Cathrings reported her case to the N. A. A. C. P., which called it to the attention of Dr. William Barclay Parsons, chairman of the Joint Administrative Board, who reported back to the N. A. A. C. P. on September 19, that the hospital authorities now consider the matter "closed." The Medical Center was recently completed at a cost of more than $15,000,000. A part of the money was raised by public subscription and many Negroes were among the contributors. CHICAGO WHITES TRY TO PREVENT SCHOOL MIXTURE Object To Transfer Of Negro Pupils To Fenger High School Chicago, Ill.—Evidence of the intolerant attitude of the Ku Klux element and of the fact that it has gamed roots in Chicago is seen in the abortive attempt of white students of the Fenger High School to prevent a group of Negro students who had been transferred from Morgan Park from attending classes in Jersey. It is reported that some two thousand students engaged in the demonstration and that police officers were called to quell the disturbance and to patrol the school district. The principal of the school, Thomas A. Hill, decried the importance of the eruption, saying that only about 150 students were active in demonstrations and that the demonstration would not amount to much. The principal called a meeting of the student tools for Friday, September 21, reported to dissipate any ill feelings that might be an evidence.

Perry of 375 Fulton street, Brooklyn, is attorney for Mrs. Ida Latimer, who has petitioned the court that the will of February, 1928, and the codiol, dated August 4, 1928, be duly proved as the last will and testament. The case will come up on Monday, October 1. Harlem became a scene of rejoicing Monday morning around 2 o'clock when Casper Holstein, wealthy club man, president of the Turf Club at 111 West 136th street, and head of the New York Virgin Islands Association, walked into the club house where scores of his admirers and friends sat in gloomy dejection after three days of hopeless searching for him. Mr. Holstein had left the club house Thursday night just before midnight, had ridden in his car to a point near 245 West 146th street, alighting and dismissing his chauffeur, after which he disappeared with a mysterious completeness that soon caused Harlem to become a seething caldron of endless conjecture and opinion. A. REVENUE AGENTS CHARGED WITH NOT ARRESTING WHITES U. S. Commissioner Wren Says Officers Bring In Negroes Only The federal prohibition agents and the U. S. Attorney's office in Brooklyn are charged with discrimination against Negroes by United States Commissioner Amy Wen on Friday, September 21, when she told the officers that only colored buyers of whiskey were brought before her. She made the charge when Oscar Rautus, 28, of Rider street, Barren Island, was arraigned, charged with possession of a half pint of whiskey. The assertion was as a bombshell in the court, and Assistant United States Attorney Arthur Kestler, who was in charge of the case, made a vigorous protest. But the commissioner stood firm, and reiterated her charge, declaring that the records would establish the truth of what she said. Register To Vote!!

Y., was, held without bail Thursday, September 20, by Judge Joseph McLuren, in the Homme Court, to await the action of the Grand Jury for the murder of Romeo Robinson on Saturday, September 8. For some time Sparrow and his wife had been living apart as a result of a quarrel. On Saturday, September 8, Robinson and Sparrow met at Ralph and Atlantic avenues, and started to talk. During the course of the conversation, Robinson asked Sparrow if he and his wife were living together. Sparrow replied "No", and Robinson, whose first name is Romeo, said that he was the cause of it, that he was "the triangle". According to the police, Sparrow drew a rator from his pocket and cut Robinson on his neck, severing the singular vein. A short while after Robinson, who has been taken to St. Mary's Hospital, died, and Sparrow, who had been arrested, was held on the charge of homicide. Attorney Rufus L. Perry, 373 Fulton street, Brooklyn, is counsel for the accused man.

Prominent in sporting circles, active fraternally, given to making large philanthropic gifts; Mr. Holstein has long been one of the foremost figures in Harlem life. His liberality in aiding the poor, needy and distressed of all classes has won for him the admiration and affection of hundreds of people, and his sudden disappearance brought agonized dread to their hearts. It was common knowledge that Mr. Holstein usually carried large sums of cash on his person and it was first thought that he had been seized for the purpose of robbery, possibly with killing to follow. It was thought that he had more than $7,000 in his pocket at the time of his disappearance, but it developed later that this was not so. Police Intensely Active. For three days the police force was incessantly active in searching for clues that might lead to a knowledge of his whereabouts. Volunteer workers from the ranks of the club membership, of the Virgin Islands Society, from the Monarch Lodge of Elks, and from all avenues of activity in Harlem, were on the qui vive for any sort of information that might aid the officers in their work. And during these three days of uncertainty and anxiety there were all sorts of conjecture and surmising as to what had happened to Casper Holstein. It was a certainty that he had been kidnapped by a desperate mob, but there was little or no indication as to the composition of the mob. Some said Italian gunmen or boot-leggers; others thought that some of the Chicago racketeers had extended their operations to New York and were holding him for heavy fansom. And with his return there is still lacking an explanation as to why he was kidnapped. Detective Sergeant Samuel J. Battles, a personal friend of Holstein, was untiring in his search for the kidnappers. And when Michael Bernstein, 30, of 1182 Lebanon street, The Bronx, attempted to get information as to the validity of a check supposed to have been signed by Holstein, he was quickly traced and arrested late Saturday night, charged with the actual kidnapping. Supposed Friend Implicated. And then followed in rapid succession the arrest of four others, three white and one colored man. The colored man, Rudolph Brown, 32, a well known character in Harlem's sporting world, manager of the Alhambra Dance Hall at 126th street and Seventh avenue, which was to have had its formal opening on Monday night, September 24, and who lives at 211.West 149th street, was said by the officers to have been the "spot man" of the gang, the one to point out men with money and of sufficient importance to be held for ransom. He is said to have been regarded as one of the many friends of Holstein. He has a record according to the police, having been arrested four times, and having served a workhouse term. The white men were Peter Donohue, 27, 1207 Harding Park, The Bronx; Anthony D'Agontino, 20, 1106 Harding Park, and Moe Schubert, 30, 1100 Whitlock avenue, The Bronx, brother-in-law to Joe Ward, who manages the Swanee Club on West 125th street, under Hurting & Seamon's Theatre, a white resort When arranged Monday morning in the Washington Heights Court, Hirnstein was held in $10,000 ball, and the others were held, without ball for a hearing on Wednesday morning. The story as told by Mr. Holstein adds something to the mystery instead of clearing it up, because it brings in an element which seems to indicate that his seizure may have been a case of mistaken identity. Opposed up prior to an arrest of an unprovoked noonstalker, no one of the men came to him and promised that release would come after dark, adding the statement: "Casper, you are too damned decent, a man to keep here. We never should have brought you here. That dirty sat gave us a hum aster." When he was heized Mr. Holstein had £72 in his pockets, and not £7,000 as was reported, but he was wearing a 4-carat diamond ring worth £,500, and had a 600 watch in his pocket. The kidnappers took the cash but returned the watch and ring after examining them. And when they released him at 225th street and Barnes avenue, Williamsbridge, they gave him £3 with which to pay taxicab hire back to the Turf Club. Reaching the club, Mr. Holstein found a patient group of friends waiting for any word that might be received, and his appearance was the signal for a frightened outburst that spread to the outside and caused the assembling of a crowd that thronged 136th street from curb to curb. A telephone message to the station house brought Detective Captain Louis Hyams of the 6th Division and Detective Sergeant Battle to the club house where they found the kidnapped man, little the worse for wear except for cuts over the eye and on the forehead where the kidnappers had struck him with the buits of their revolvers when he realized what was happening and made resistance. Police Hear Holstain's Story. The officers escorted Holstein the rejoicing crowd. Then the release of what had happened to him, denying ever phoned to the club or to any guard to an alleged ransom demand.

Then the released man told a more detailed story of what had happened to him, denying strongly that he had at any time ever phoned to the club or to any of his friends any message with regard to an alleged ransom demand, as had been reported. In fact, he stated that at no time during his three days' captivity was any mention made to him of a ransom being demanded. Nothing was said by him about the alleged check for $3,200 which Bernstein was said to have tried to cash. All the evidence indicates, however, that it was a case of kidnapping for ransom. A well authenticated report has it that at least a half dozen prominent Negro Harlemites were listed by the kidnapping gang as suitable material for their racket. Among those reported to have been so listed are Ed Smalls, proprietor of the Paradise Club; Leroy Wilkins, billiard room proprietor; John E. Nail, wealthy real estate dealer; Alderman Fred R. Moore, and several others. Jackson of Chicago Comes To Help. Friends of Holstein, from all sectored, were quick to offer whatever secure his quick relief.

One friend, Charles Jackson of Chicago, a wealthy undertaker and realty agent, boarded the Broadway Limited and came in person to New York, placing his entire financial resources at command of those engaged in working for Holstein's release. Charles King, Mr Holstein's confidential secretary, is reported to have been called by Bernstein to the latter's office at 1251 Washington avenue, and told that £50,000 must be paid at once to secure his employer's release. At the same time, Bernstein exhibited telegrams and letters known to have been in Mr. Holstein's possession at time of his disappearance. But in the meantime, Detective Sergeant Battles, who was in charge of the case, assisted by four other Negro officers, Detectives Boyden Moore, Webber and Brown, had discovered leads that led to the same source, and to Detective Moore was assigned the task of posing as an employee of Holstein's, and of entering into a dicker for his release with Bernstein. In a conference with the latter it was discovered that some of the gang would be at the prize fight on Saturday night at the Commonwealth Sporting Club, Madison avenue and 135th street, and Battles, Boyden, Moore, Welber and Brown, with Captain Hyams, Acting Lieutenants Shields and Hoadge, and Detective Clarence Connellly, covered that resort, and when Bernstein and two of his gangmen, Donohue and D'Agontine, came out they were quickly and quietly placed under arrest. National Gang Organization The story, or Mr. Holstein's ex- nights, as told to the police official, which seized him appears to be pief of gangsters operating in various gard of law as was exhibited in the overheard conversations which indie wealthy brewer, demanding and ree- sick-up job, followed by shooting a hivan street. The police think the m by this talk The story of Mr. Holstein's experiences from Thursday to Sunday nights, as told to the police officials, revealed the fact that the gang which seized him appears to be part of a nationally organized group of gangsters operating in various cities with the same insolent disregard of law as was exhibited in this case. While in their custody he overheard conversations which indicated that the mob had abducted a wealthy brewer, demanding and receiving a $50,000 ransom, and that a stick-up job, followed by shooting a man, had been pulled off on Sullivan street. The police think the men were trying to frighten Holstein by this talk. Pieced together in the light of after developments, the story of Mr. Holstein's experience shows a well-developed plan on part of his kidnappers. He declares that they gold him of an attempt to get him while he was in Chicago recently, and that a holdup of the Apex Club, 35th street, that city, was staged for the carrying out of the planned abduction. Only the fact that Mr. Holstein left the club ten minutes earlier to return to New York halked the effort. Knew Holstein's Movements. The mob then transferred their activities to New York, and Thursday night kidnapping was the final outcome. The gangsters had accurate and definite knowledge of Mr. Holstein's movements and plans. Early Thursday evening he attended a meeting of the Monarch Lodge Building Committee at its headquarters, 230 West 135th street, and when he left at 9:30 to attend another meeting, there was no evidence or any apprehension on his part. He smilingly bade his associates good night, shaking hands with them as left for his other meeting. And it is reported that when he left this meeting he was being shadowed by the gang, and that when he reached the Turf Club the men trailing him parked their car and waited in the vicinity until he reappeared after 11 o'clock. Then they followed his car up. Seventh avenue, and when he left his car they continued to trail hunt. Holstem walked to a drug store at 145th street to get some ice cream, but when there was none of the kind he wanted in Residence: H LOCAL and LONG H LICENSED PR GARNER'S BAGGAGE CALLED B Tripe Down Main Office: 79 West 1 Branch Office: 145 Naglo Residence: Bradhurst 0550 LOCAL and LONG DISTANCE MOVING LICENSED PIANO MOVER GARNER'S EXPRESS BAGGAGE CALLED FOR and DELIVERED Tripe Down Town Daily Main Office: 79 West 181st Street-Harlem 5682 Branch Office: 145 Nagle Avenue-Lorraine 7509 at to the station house, followed by used man told a more detailed story, strongly that he had at any time of his friends any message with reas had been reported.

Then the gangsters got into action. As he turned into 146th street, two cars swung to the curb, and five men alighted. Before Holstain could-realize what was happening, five guns were flashed upon him and he was shoved into one of the cars, in which two white women were already seated. His captors pretended to be detectives, and told him he was wanted at headquarters. License Number Noted. As this was being done, an individual, whose identity is being kept secret by the police officers, noted the unusual occurrence and made a note of the number on the cat's license plate. This information was furnished the detectives and when the officers, went to the Olympic Club Saturday night, the car was immediately identified by the person who had noted the number, and the arrest of the three men followed. When told by his abductors that he was being taken to Police Headquarters, Mr. Holstein said he replied: "My books are clean, I don't have to worry," thinking the men were detectives. He was between two men on the back seat. The women were in the spare seats in front of him. Three men were in the front seats. When the car started north in Seventh avenue, he said, he realized they were not taking him to Police Headquarters. "You're taking me uptown," he protested, and grappled with the two Bradhurst 0550 DISTANCE MOVING MANO MOVER EXPRESS FOR and DELIVERED Town Daily List Street-Harlem 5682 Avenue-Lorraine 7509 men nearest him. One hit him on the forehead with the butt of a gun or an improvised blackjack, he said. This is borne out by two abrasions on his forehead, and stains on his shirt front. He went to the floor under the blows and the two men sat on him. A blindfold was put over his eyes. In his dazed condition it appeared to him the car was driven around in a crazy sigizag way, at times over rough roads or street, for at least two hours. It finally stopped and he was led up the stoop of a house. Whether it was a private house or an apartment house he does not know. The room into which they took him had a carpet on the floor. He Refuses Food. He was ordered to take off his coat. He was then gaged with a cloth, and stains were bound around his wrists and ankles. These were reinforced with wire, and wires were run from his wrists to his feet, making it impossible for him to lie down. He was given a pillow to sit on, and at times he sat on the side of a bed he found by backing into it. But he could not lie down. He said he could hear the man and two women talking, and the rumble of the passing trains, indicated he was not far from the elevated. The women appeared to be looking after the cooking. On Friday morning he was offered food, but refused it, partly because he feared it might be poisoned. He declared he had not been permitted to telephone any one. His ring and watch were examined and returned to him. -In his blindfolded state he soon lost track of time.

In a few hours he was returned to the room with the carpet on the floor and a bed on which he could sit. He had been told he probably would be released "when it gets dark," he supposed on Saturday night, but he was not. He overheard one of the men say something about "the dirty rat," evidently, referring to some one not present. Freed In Williamsbridge Sometimes about midnight Sunday, Holstein was unbound, and with only a blindfold and gag, led from the house to an automobile in which there appeared to be the same five men as before, but no women. After the same sort of twisting and turning about in rough and smooth streets the car was brought to a stop. The gag was removed and Holstein was asked if he had any money. He reminded them they had taken all he had, and one gave him $3 "to hire a taxicab." As soon as he heard their car leave he tore off the blindfold and found himself at 225th street and Barnes avenue, Williamsbridge, from which point he made his way to Harlem and the Turf Club. Looks at Suspects Later in the day Holstein was taken to Police Headquarters where four of the five men arrested were in the lineup and asked if he could identify any of them.

Audubon 3073 adult, however, that Rudolph Brown, one of the five arrested, was an acquaintance. So far as to the other three, all white, were concerned, he did not give them a flacker of recognition. The fourth white member of the alleged gang, Michael Bernstein of No. 1182 Lebanon Avenue, the Bronx, had been released in $5,000 bail Sunday night and was not in the line-up. Holstein made it plain that he blamed Brown, a member of his own race, for his abduction and as he made his flat charge that Brown "was the stool-pigeon who gave this gang information not only on me but on many others" the indignant murmurs from the men and women who filled the room, boded no good for Brown if and when he is released from custody. Sgre They Have Right Men For despite Holstein's failure to identify any of the prisoners police are convinced that in Bernstein, Brown and Schubert, also known as "Joe Keller," they have three of the men implicated in the abduction, and despite the protests of Leonard A. Snitkin, attorney for Bernstein and Schubert, Magistrate Glatzmayer in Washington Heights Court increased Bernstein's bail to $10,000 Monday and held the other four without bail for further hearing Wednesday. Acting Detective Capt. Hyams of the West 123rd Street Station, who is in charge of the investigation, stated that the police are looking for three other members of the gang that got away. The police have little hope of ever linking up Donohue, or D'Agontino, with the abduction, but inasmuch as they both have been previously arrested, they were held pending-further investigation. When Holstein appeared at the Turf Club around the middle of the afternoon he seemed little the worse physically for his experience. There were two abrasions on his forehead where, he said, he had been hit when he started to struggle with his captors, but he apparently bore them little ill-will on account of them. In fact during the time he was their captive he appeared to have developed a real liking for at least one of them, whom he referred to as "the big fellow" and who, he said, kept the others, from harming him further. Wants to Meet Abductor "I'd sure like to meet him some time," he exclaimed. "He made a hit with me." Bearing out the police theory of the case, he said that while Brown was the tipster who had told the gang he would be a good one to get, the two leaders were Bernstein and Schubert, both of whom have records. Asked if he had been kept blindfolded all the time as he said, he smiled broadly and knowingly and said, "Sure I was kept blindfolded, so I couldn't see anything." Asked if before he was taken to the house where he was kept prisoner he had not had a chance to see and recognize the men who threw him into an automobile, he chuckled again and said: "They asked me this morning, 'Casper could you recognize any of them?' and I said, 'If I could, I can't.' Holstein was asked about the mysterious call that he was supposed to have made to a friend Sunday night asking him to have the police taken off the case for fear that if they weren't he would be killed. "That was Rudolph Brown," he promptly replied. Asked how he knew he said, "The gang told me." "When, they first grabbed me," he said, "they stuck guns against my ribs and said they were from headquarters. I said 'all right,' and started to go with them, because I couldn't do anything wrong I had done. Then one of them called out 'bring that automobile over here Charlie,' and we all got in and started east and then turned north. I said, 'this isn't the way to headquarters, so it is a stickup, it is? Well you'll have to kill me first' and then I started to battle. "That's when they hit me and got me down in the car and jumped on me. They told me afterward they wouldn't have touched me if I hadn't started to battle and after we got to the place where they took me they treated me all right. The big fellow said I was a game guy and asked me what I thought about, their racket. I told them kidding of course, I thought they had a fine racket, and after I get out I might join them myself. "Then they told me about Brown and said I had been given a raw deal by hlm and they said 'We'll send you his car.' But I said 'No I'd, rather you brought his corps down to the club with a piece of rope around his neck so I could pull it when I got there.'" When they set him free, Holstein said one of the gang, after giving him $3 for taxi fare said: Caspar, you are a good guy. If you are broke we will get you a stake and help you make a fortune." They were desperate fellows but they treated me pretty good at that. After all they have their racket and they might have done much more than they did."

Read what Arthur Brisbane, editor of the New York Journal and other Hearst newspapers, thinks of Long Island That island, of course, is Long Island, adjoining Manhattan Island and the rest of New York, and destined some day to be the real New York City. Already two of the biggest cities in the United States are on Long Island, of which the real estate is destined to be worth endless BILLIONS of dollars. Brooklyn, on Long Island, including Long Island City, has a population bigger than that of Los Angeles, and within a few years will have a population equalling the total population of Greater New York today. The great cloud of business houses and apartment and skyscrapers will creep steadily eastward from the East River and Old New York, down toward Montauk Point. The North and South Shores and the Middle, of Long Island will be solidly built first, making one city from Jamaica to Hempstead, Roslyn, Port Washington, Rockville Centre. And Great New York, like a swiftly moving glacier, will spread over the rest of the island. It is no exaggeration to say that in days to come Long Island will contain HALF AS MUCH POPULATION AS THE UNITED STATES HAS TODAY. Long Island will be so much the greatest city in the world that all other cities in the earth's past history will be as, nothing compared to it.

These literary gatherings were originated by Miss Rose with the purpose in mind of making the library a center of cultural life in the community, and the programs have included various forms of cultural development, bringing to the people of Harlem opportunities to hear talks and demonstrations by individuals who have attained prominence in their respective fields of effort. Miss Emma O. Thomas To Become Bride Of Edward Stancil Much interest is being expressed in Roselle, N. J. in the coming wedding of Miss Emma O. Thomas as and Edward Stancil, on Saturday night, September 29. Las Saturday) there was a rehearsal for Miss Rose inaugurated these even evenings after having returned from war service, when she established libraries in base hospitals and served as chief librarian of the Army of Occupation. She organized patrons of the library into study classes, and won the cooperation of social business, political and fraternal organizations in Harlem. · Negro History Centre. Another development of value and interest has been the collecting of authoritative literature dealing with Negro subjects and matters of interest to the race. Many rare books have been secured and the library authorities appropriated money for purchaser of the extensive collection of books, pamphlets and other data which had been made by Arthur Schomburg. This collection and other material are now in the Division of Negro Literature and History, in charge of Mrs Katherine Latimer. The library was opened in 1905, and at that time 90 per cent of the readers were white. Miss Rose came to the branch in 1920, and while the number of Negro students had measurably increased the library staff was composed entirely of white assistants. Now the patrons are 95 per cent. Negro and the staff is composed of five Negro and four white assistants. Seeking Salary Raise Just now all library workers in New York City are making a con- ered effort to win a salary increase, declaring themselves to be the most poorly paid of all professional workers. It is pointed out that the heads of the branch librarians the highest position available to library assistants in the graded service are paid on an average of less than $200 per month, and this is attained only after some twenty odd years in the service. The librarians are to have a hearing before the Board of Esti- mate early in October, and it is hoped that they will be able to secure an average increase of at least $3.63 per week. A political story nipped in the bud was the false impression put out at Democratic headquarters in New York City that William H. Lewis of Boston, had refused to join with Dr. John R. Hawkins, chairman, Colored Voters Division of the Republican National Committee. Mr. Lewis, it will be remembered, supported John W. Davis four years ago. Just this past week Mr. Lewis had a conference with Mr. Hoover and issued a statement declaring that he is satisfied with Mr. Hoover and will do whatever he can to bring about Mr. Hoover's election. Report from Boston, Toledo, Ohio, Detroit, Michigan, Cleveland, Ohio, West Virginia, all indicate that the Negroes in these proximal states will give an unprecedented majority to Mr. Hoover in November.

Low Prices On Saturday, September 22 Mrs. Josephine Foster gave a surprise birthday party in honor of her daughter, Mish J. Aurelia Foster, at their residence, 15 Morris street, East Orange, N. J.

Supper was served in the dining room, after which the guests played cards until they could no longer restrain the desire to dance. At midnight the guests again assembled in the dining room to be surprised not only with a birthday cake, but also with the announcement of the engagement of Miss Aurelia Poster to Andreu Brown of Brooklyn.

Sara Pellham Speaks In New York For Campaign Sara Pelham Speaks of Washington, D.C., is in New York as executive secretary and one of four field directors working under the First Voters' Committee of the National Republican Committee to generate interest in the large group of young men and women who will be voting this year for the first time, directing the effort toward securing a large registration and the casting of a full vote. Mrs. Speaks reached the city on Thursday, September 20, coming direct from a dinner rally at the home of Raymond Pace Alexander, Philadelphia, who is heading the First Voters' Committee, with Jesse Heslop of Toledo as vice-chairman. At the dinner were the other field directors, Myles A. Paige of New York, Roland Butler Wilson of Boston and Oscar Gathiff of Toledo; E. Washington Rhodes of Philadelphia, chairman, and Mrs. Rose Norwood, vice-chairman, Pennsylvania First Voters' League; Attorney Oliver Randolph of Newark and John Francis Williams of Connecticut. An intensive campaign is planned to reach not only the first voters, but arouse the older voters who have become negligent to sense of the importance of political activity and the value of their suffrage. Mrs. Speaks will make her headquarters in New York City during the campaign, but will visit other centers as the need demands New Secretarial School In the wake of John D. Rockefeller's benefactions for the amelioration of the social conditions of the Negro, and close on the heels of the recent banking and housing activities in Harlem, comes word of the opening, this fall, of the Lincoln Secretarial School with full facilities for the advancement of commercially-minded men and women living in Greater New York and its environs. The Lincoln Secretarial School was initiated and built to supply a deeply-felt need. There is considerable army of ambitious Negroes who have hitherto found it impossible or inconvenient to obtain the tuition they sought. The management of the Lincoln School has recruited a group of teachers—colored and white—with sufficient knowledge, experience and sympathetic appreciation of the racial problem to assure the zealous student an unharmed spring-board for his vaulting ambitions. The faculty will be headed by the principal, Prof. Gilby Robinson, L. L. B. (London), F. L. P. S., who has a wide experience in the commercial fields of education in this country, Canada and Europe. The school building is fireproofed throughout and has been materially altered and adapted for school purposes. A complete equipment of high school furniture, typewriters, adding machines, dictaphones, minneographs, filing and indexing systems has been installed to make it one of the city's most modern educational plants. The Lincoln Secretarial School building is at 261-269 West 125th street, near the Eighth avenue U station, and thus is easily accessible to all parts of the city. Sociologists, prospective students, parents and other interested visitors are welcome to inspect the facilities and inquire into the curriculum ACHING JOINTS Mr. A. S. J.

"I hoard of Black-Draught and how highly it was recommended. It certainly did me a world of good. So now I keep it in the house all the time. It keeps me in splendid shape." Pains in your joints and muscles are often the result of poisons which have been absorbed into the system instead of being carried off in a natural manner. These waste products cause a great deal of trouble to many people, and much relief has been found, in many cases, by seeing to it that the bowels act regularly and freely every day. Theford's Black-Draught should be taken as often as necessary to open the bowels and put them in a healthy state of daily activity.

MISREPRESENTING GOVERNOR SMITH In this topsy-turvy presidential campaign, where Negro voters who adhere to the Republican ticket, find themselves lined up with the Ku Klux Klan, the Anti-Saloon League fanatics, the bigot of the white Southern Methodist and Baptist denominations, it is hard at times to tell truth from falsehood. Anyhow, a bit of publicity propaganda issued by the Smith-for-President Colored League of New York City seemed to claim a bit too much for the popular Governor of New York. It took the form of an Atlanta news dispatch recording the defeat of William D. Upshaw, Anti-Shaw cancandidate for Congress, in itself a public benefit for which the South should be devoutly thankful. The dispatch went on to state that during Upshaw's campaign there was circulated a facsimile of the first page of the Negro World. a weekly published by the followers of Marcus Garvey, which advised Negroes to vote for Smith in November rather than Hoover. At the bottom of the page the supporters of Upshaw printed a notice which read in part: "This is a reproduction of the front page of the Negro World, published in New York July 28, 1928, which plainly shows that Negroes are rallying to the support of A. Smith of Tramann Hall, whose纵贯 sanction is given to social and equality in the public schools and dance halls of New York, Alfred E. Smith, eight years Governor of New York, has never lifted his finger to stop this racial equality and the record shows that Smith has are pointed 226 Negro officials now holding office in New York—more than the Republican Party has appointed the whole Nation during the same period. Although the Smith-for-President League includes the above paragraph in the designation of "this sort of bunk failed to make an impression on the majority of the voters—in Upshaw's district, it is evidently willing that the story of Smith's appointments should be accepted as true. It is somewhat remarkable that the Age and other agencies of news and opinion in this city never heard anything about these appointments. It might be more convincing to specify these appointments. The only appointment of a man of the race to any public position of either honor or emolument, made by Governor Smith during his many terms of office, was the naming of a former Assemblyman to a place on some committee of investigation of some unimportant phase of State affairs. In the matter of the recognition of the rights of Negroes to public office Grove Cleveland, a former Democratic Governor of New York, was a far bigger man than Al Smith. During his first term as President, Cleveland nominated C. H. Taylor as Minister to Bolivia and H. C. C. Astwood as Consul at Calais, France the two most important posts in the foreign service for which Negroes had ever been designated. To be sure, a dumb Republican Senate refused to confirm either nomination and thus let the President's bluff stand uncalled. Nevertheless Cleveland did appoint Negroes as Minister to Liberia and Recorder of Deeds to the District of Columbia. But Al Smith has neither the more courage nor the mental ability of Grove Cleveland. His personal popularity in New York is of the same quality as that which makes the tabloid newspaper reading pabulum for the multitude, where lies his strength as well as his weakness, for the multitude has many votes. The candidacy of Hoover appeals to the more intelligent voters, but there is need to increase their number by elementary political education. In this topsycurvy presidential campaign, where Negro voters who adhere to the Republican ticket, find themselves lined up with the Ku Klux Klan, the Anti-Saloon League fanatics, the bigots of the white Southern Methodist and Baptist denominations, it is hard at times to tell truth from falsehood.

The candidacy of Hoover appeals to the more intelligent voters, but there is need to increase their number by elementary political education. REVOLT AMONG DEMOCRATS.

Well informed observers go so far as to predict that in such states as North Carolina and Virginia, Hoover may win the electoral vote. This breaking of the Solid South has long been a will-o-the-wisp, that has led many enthusiastic Republican leaders on a wildgoose chase. But when so hardboiled a political veteran as Senator Moses of New Hampshire admits that there may be something in it this year, 'it behooves the incredulous to sit up and take notice. In North Carolina the center of the opposition to Smith is seated in the refusal of Senator Simmons, the Democratic leader since the Wilmington massacre put a stop to Populist and Republican rule, to do anything to further Smith's campaign. The State and local candidates are looking out for themselves only, with but a perfunctory word for the national ticket. In Virginia, the opposition to Smith is counting largely on the women's vote to defeat his candidacy. The Protestant churches and the Anti-Saloon League are combined against the New Yorker and count on enlisting the women on their side. In all this Hoover talk in the South there has been little heard about the Negro vote. The Hoover campaign having been confided to the care of the Lily-white Republicans, the Negroes have been shunted to one side and alienated from supporting the Republican ticket in those states where their votes count. But little is heard of them as supporters' of Smith except perhaps in Texas, where W. M. McDonald, known as "Gooseneck Bill," has endorsed Smith as a measure of retaliation against Lilywhite Republicanism. More recently in Virginia, we hear of a movement among Negroes looking toward the support of Smith. Carter Field, writing from Norfolk, in the New York Herald Tribune said: Offsetting to a certain extent the detection of so many anti-Smith Democrats is a defection among the Negroes from the Republican party. Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom, Negro addressed nearly 1,000 colored men and women at St. John's A. M. E. Church here, Sunday night, saying that the black people of America "prefer the Tammany Tiger to the hood and gown of the Ru Klu Khan. Grove of Cleveland," he said, "as President of the United States gavegmore political recognition to the Negro in four years than Coolidge has in eight." Bishop Ransom also attacked the Republican party for encouraging the "fily white" movement in the South. Of course, Bishop Ransom has a right to support Governor Smith's candidacy if his judgment and his conscience so dictate, and he is doing what many other ministers and bishops of the other race are doing in turning the church into a political arena. But realizing as he must the infamies of Democratic rule in the South, he should hesitate before helping to spread that rule over the entire country. For it is the Southern tail of the Democratic donkey that rules the party in its national policy. When Bishop Ransom is forced by the jimcrow laws of the Southern States to ride jimcrow, he should hesitate about advocating the elevation of the makers of those laws to control of the national government. But, perhaps the jimcrow laws are re-relaxed in favor, of Bishop Ransom and he does not have to ride jimcrow. FIGHT FOR REPRESENTATION. In the fight for political representation in the Nineteenth Assembly district, the Grenthal machine appeared to have escaped an upset by a small majority of the enrolled voters. The effort to designate Myles Paige as the regular Republican candidate for Assembly failed of success for the present. The vote of 750 for Paige, against 929 for the present leader of the district, showed that the dissatisfaction with present conditions is widespread and growing. The fact that Paige made such a good showing against the established machine, with all the force of official patronage and intimidation summoned to its aid, is significant, as indicating the seriousness of this movement for freedom of self-expression. The Paige movement was handicapped by the absence of effective organization or sufficient funds to properly run a campaign, nearly all the canvassing in his behalf being done by volunteer workers: On the other hand, Assemblyman Grenhal started with the advantage of control of the official machinery, backed by the support of the County chairman, who assisted him to remove all inspectors suspected of being friendly toward the Paige movement. It was also alleged that efforts were made to cast the votes of five hundred non-resident Democrats in order to defeat Paige. This move was blocked to some extent by the watchfulness of the Paige workers, although there were certain districts where the unofficial figures were so suspicious as to demand careful investigation. In some of these districts no votes at all were credited to Paige, while in others where the Negro vote was in a large majority, Grenthal was credited with a larger number of votes than seemed credible under the circumstances. There is ample reason to believe that a recount would materially change the result given by the unofficial figures. However, that may be, it is certain that the fight for adequate representation has just begun. No battle of this kind was won at the first skirmish. The result of this primary has at least made a serious breach in the stronghold of arrogant boss rule asserted and maintained by Mr. Grenthal as leader. Colored people have voted for white candidates all their lives, and it is high time that Negroes should learn to vote for a leadership and representation evolved from their own group. The attitude of intolerance adopted by Leader Grenthal and some of the white voters must give way to this demand for self-expression. If Republicanism is going to mean anything to the colored voters of the two Harlem districts where they are in the majority, they must be encouraged to seek representation through members of their own group in the Legislature, in the County Committee and in the State Committee. If there is a line to be drawn and strictly maintained against their attainment of such positions, it signifies curtailment of their rights as citizens and as voters. We would much prefer not to have to bring up the question of race in politics, but when the accident of race or color is made the occasion for the denial of rights or privileges freely exercised by other classes of voters, we have no other recourse than to fight for the same measure of equal rights. The principles of the party justify our demands, and the candidates or leaders who oppose them are placing themselves outside the party. Unless a change is brought about that recognizes the right of the Negro to self-representation in the Nineteenth district, we do not believe that Mr. Grenthal can be re-elected to the Legislature. THE LITERACY TEST. persons voting for the first time should bear in mind that the laws, as amended by the Lea in 1923, provide that all those who register must give proof that they literate that is that they can write.

Any one can vote in this state who died the age of twenty-one, has in the state one year, in the course of months and in the election days. Every man or woman meet these requirements should vote. Persons voting for the first time this year should bear in mind that the election laws, as amended by the Legislature in 1923, provide that all those applying to register must give proof that they are literate that is that they can read and write. This can be done by presenting to the board of registry a diploma from a public school or high school, or other institution of learning. If this is not possible, the new voters can undergo a literacy test at one of the public schools designated for that purpose, and receive a certificate entitling him or her to register. Persons who have voted previous to 1923 are not required to take this test. The object of this test is simply to restrict the privilege of the franchise to those voters who take advantage of the opportunities for public instruction so freely provided by the state. Those who acquired the right to vote before such restriction still retain it, but more is exacted from new citizens. They must possess a higher standard of school learning if not of intelligence. They must have taken the trouble to learn to read and write so as to keep posted on subjects of general intelligence and information. In this day of the general diffusion of literacy, the restriction of the suffrage to those who have taken the trouble to learn to read and write is not unreasonable. Any person who reaches the age of twenty-one in a state like New York, without learning to read and write is certainly abnormal or has been held under restraint of the use of his mental faculties. Any one can vote in this state who has reached the age of twenty-one, has resided in the state one year, in the county three months and in the election district thirty days. Every man or woman who can meet these requirements should register and vote. THE INDIAN CANDIDATE. the fact that the aboriginal inhab- meria have a representative of on the Republican national strikingly demonstrated last in Senator, Curtus addressed a ering of Sioux Indians at the agency in North Dakota. The The fact that the aboriginal inhabitants of America have a representative of their race on the Republican national ticket owns strikingly demonstrated last week, when Senator, Curtus addressed a large gathering of Sioux Indians at the Rosebud agency in North Dakota. The Senator who claims to be part Indian, tracing his ancestry on his mother's side back to the famous chief Pawhuska, of the Osage tribe, urged the tribesmen present to accept not only the privileges of citizenship, but also its responsibilities. The gathering of the Sioux at Rosebud was to celebrate the opening of that Federal reservation fifty years ago. This tribe is one of the largest and strongest in the United States, numbering 21,841 in 1927, and living in North and South Dakota and Minnesota. Their advances made in farming and stock raising were pronounced very gratifying by the candidate for the Vice Presidency, and he urged them use their vote. Other advice given by the speaker was to avoid "firewater" and excessive indulgence in modern dancing. They were told to go to school, build homes and till the soil. This advice would be equally good if applied to any group of citizens in the same territory, whether black, white or red. The point of the matter is that Senator Curtis is capitalizing his Indian extraction and making it count in his favor. Whereas, if the ancestral strain had been African instead of Indian, political exigen- cies would force him either to conceal it or deny it outright. And yet from ethnological and eugenic standards the African strain might be far superior, to that of the Indian. As a race the African in America has proved itself equal or superior in physical endurance, and mental ability THE AGE READERS' FORUM Prof. Chas. H. Moore On Political Situation Editor of The New York Age: Every now and then some would be political mentor of the race rises up with a rhetorical flourish declares that "The Negro has paid in full the debt of gratitude which he brought to the Anglo-Spanish and Summer for what is accomplished in the days of its pristine moral grand- eur." Perlans, but let's see. In doing so I would not for one moment as I said in a previous article, condene the political sins of the Republican Party in its present day treatment of its Negro constituency. However, let us strike a balance. Before so doing as a preliminary to I am about to say I state a fact, which cannot be successfully contradicted, that those political preceptors, who spasmodically are in the habit of asserting that the Negro owes the Republican Party nothing are either post-bellum Negroes, as are descendents of Negroes during the slave period, or those who never experienced the cruel wrongs of bondage and its "fetters gall." If you can show me today an ex-slave who is hold enough to say that he owes the Republican-Party nothing, one who can recall "the torturing lash" of the brutal overseeer, "which seemed his back with many a gash," then I'll show you, something new under the sun, which on one occasion the wise man, Solomon, said there wasn't. The first Republican National Convention was held at Philadelphia in June 1856. The outstanding plank in its first platform was that, "It is both the right and the duty of Congress to prohibit in the territories slavery and polygamy—twin rebelss of harbors. Four years later, Abraham Lincoln was elected by the Republican Party for the Presidency and was elected, that time on, until he became a victim of an assassin's bullet hostilities never ceased until the 4,000,000 bondsmen in this country were set free. When Mr. Lincoln was re-elected in 1864, before entering upon his second term, the Democrats denounced the usurpations of power by the Republican administration and demanded that, "immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities. When however, the save of garçhage wouldn't assent to President Lincoln's overtures for peace, an substance he emphatically declared that he was willing, if it be God's Will, for the war to continue until WEEKLY NOTES FROM INDIA By The Age Special Correspondent Bombay Mill Strike News. in assimilating European civilization, to any of the other races introduced or found on this continent. In time politicians may be as proud to avow their African strain, as Senator Curtis was to acknowledge the little Indian in him at Rosebud. every-drop of blood drawn from the back of a slave by the lash of the brutal overseer should be compensated for by the drenching of this land in blood. You who are acquainted with the history of the conflict know the result. My-only apology for restricting a dead issue, perhaps, and one not garrime to those of the present campaign is that, we may keep the records straight, and as Kipling says, "Lord God of Hosts, be with me yet. Less we forget, less we forget. Furthermore, if there is any Negro who sincerely believes he has paid the last farthing of indebtedness to the Republican Party, by what process of reasoning does he satisfy his conscience thus he owes the National Democratic Party anything when he takes into account its consistent record of opposition to the political and civil rights of his race. CHAS. H. MOURO. Greensboro, North Carolina Two Tammany Blunders (From The New Leader) In Wooing the affection of the great capitalist interests of the nation the Democratic managers perpetrated two stupidities during the past week. These blunders are due to the necessity of preventing deser-tion of southern voters from the Belt blunders the official stamp of the Democratic National Committee. In answer to 'a Ku Klux attack on Smith the committee answers that the Governor "does not have, and never had had, a Negro stenographer and in the employment of Negroes by the State of New York under his administration this has been done only to fill such jobs as they are given in the South, to wit: jantors, charwomen, etc." The other statement announces a campaign Hall's "friendship to the South covering a long period of the country's history" will be emphasized. For many years Tammany has been working to win Negro voters in New York City and it still hopes to string most of them. Now the national bankers broadcast that Smith gave Negroes only "such jobs as they are given in the South" and then proceeds to enumerate "porters, janitors and charwomen. This is the real Negroes. This the rich pickings are distributed to the white henchmen. That statement is likely to lose the few Negro voters that have been strung by Tammany in New York. The second blinder lies in stressing Tammany's long "friendship" to the South over a "long period of the country's history." That is true, but it includes the long period of bondage for the Negro in the South. Tammany was the most powerful pro-slavery political machine in the North It rolled up a big majority against Lincoln in New York City in 1860 Its faithful squads, led in the draft riots which raged for nearly a week in the city in 1863, in which many Negroes were lynched in the city. It was burnt by the bravest Its merchant backers had rich trade connections with southern planters which made them Tammanyites and pro-slavery men. New York City was a port of call for ships engaged in the slave trade long after that trade had become illegal. This is part of the record of Tammany's "long friendship for the South." Informed Negroes know it and they are likely to pass it on. of strength when there is any Government in the land Fine Frenzy The Policy of "DIVIDE & RULE" seems to have been developed by long usage into an instinct inborn in an Imperialist. Thus it is that Sir Charles Imus, the Governor of Burma, in his concession address at The Raugoon University warned' the Burmaans against the "Peaceful penetration" of Indians into Burma. He affects allys in Burma with "penetration" on the Burmaans at "the blow to their individuality as a nation and the distinctive character of their civilization." Developing the clima, he asks, "Will they, as time rolls on slowly, but surely be submerged by the teeming mullows to the Last and to the West? Must they be in fine religious freestyil and adds "Every Englishman who has dared in Burma, 'God forbid,' has sighsmen have good reason to have lively conscience penetration in the Sinor-North Frontier and in the province Chinese province of Yuan—though their progress in Burma was not of the most peaceful character. If at all the Burmaans have learnt in common with their life, they less in common with the British and they will know whom to resist. Every strength to their elbow. Who Is Guilty? There is just a deadlock at there. I don't know how to some persons, alleged to have con- tended to it. Speculating as to the reasons that have kept the Negro from making his mark among the airmen, the Washington Tribune said: Aviation seems to be an enigma to the Negro. In practically every other American activity, the race has produced its quota of men who have forged their way to the front. But, aviation seems to be different. Negroes were among the earliest sailors and navigators.* When the steam engine was applied to locomotion on land, the Negro early entered this new field and worked his way up from a layer of the rails to an engineer in the locomotive. In all branched apart, some Negro has captured the top. In the various professions, colored practitioners hold their own. Why them are they so conspicuous by their absence in aviation? Flying apparently is not difficult. Negroes are engaged in many other vocations as difficult, and even more hazardous. Apparently, the only reason seems to be financial. Aeroplanes cost money, and as yet, most of them are used for experimental or sporting purposes. Negroes with money evidently are unwilling to risk it in aeroplanes. Only two Negroes—the late Miss Bessie Coleman and Lieutenant Julian—have been successful in getting planes in which they could fly. Whatever the reason is, the fact remains that the Negro is yet to win his laurels in the air. Even during the World War the darker skinned races were barred from employment as aviators by both the British and American authorities. Flight in the air was reserved to the dominant white races. Talking about exploits in the air, an editorial writer in the Cincinnati Bulletin had the following comment on the daring displayed by a Pullman porter in jumping from an air slun. He said: It was the pleasure of this writer to visit Lunken Air Port Sunday and see Ed. Smith, the Flying Pullman Porter, make a parachute jump. Thousands were present and patiently waited until the shades of evening to see him jump. They were gratifying to see him make the most perfect jump of the day. The management of the Air Port are to be commended for having given this young Negro every encouragement to operate in his part of flying. Smith is really the pioneer of his group in this field, and demonstrated to the large crowd Sunday that he has the nerve and daring to make a great success in flying. In the crowd there were some who predicted that he would fail, but he did not. The daring and bravery of the Negro should not be doubted, for he has repeatedly faced the enemies of this nation amid flying bombs and bullets that battered him. He had defended himself a worthy citizen and defended the nation's flag beyond the question of doubt. This young man is deserving of the plaudits of all people who claim to be American citizens. Granting that Smith has the nerve and grit to make a good aviator, he should be given the opportunity to acquire the technical skill required of an air pilot. In the same issue announcing that it had secured the services of Mrs. Rebecca Sifes Taylor as editor, the Savannah Tribune printed an editorial setting forth the sore need of a banking institution. It said among other things, The thoughtful and progressive men and women should give this matter deep concern and serious consideration and co-operate with any movement to reorganize and rehabilitate one of the institutions formerly operated by our people or formulate plans for a new, strong and safe bank. for the accommodation of the hundreds among our race who are placed at a great disadvantage for lack of banking facilities. There are many good reasons why we should have a bank operated by our people. We have been accustomed to deal with our banks for more than a quarter of a century and there is no better nucleus for encouraging thrift, promoting home ownership and increasing business activities spired in the Belur Tragedy and some in Madras, charged with train-wrecking etc., confirms the belief that rowdies have been set up by the enemies of Indian Labour. As is usual with the Government, as in the raids took, place on men's houses and the rights of free speech were arbitrary curtailed. Leaders arrested indiscriminately without the ground of suspicion against them being punished. We know that the men own drum and say that by firm measures they have averted a terrible crisis. Even if they have allowed misforthe to be too long afloat and have laid themselves open to suspicion that they wanted to make a simple Labour Dispute. Even if they known whether the Government has taken steps to arrive at lasting settlement. Students, Fired Upon Over 3,000 students in Bangalore wanted to make representation before the Mysore Government to redress their grievances, and while going to The Government House was fired upon, and several were admitted to the hospital, the ex-convict should be sent. Sometimes should not sick of the brutality of the present administration in India and Ceylon. among our people than the successful operation of a substantial, reliable and, safe banking concern. Nine races or group will rise any higher or come into the full enjoyment of economic prestige any quicker that the financial resources of that race or group reach the stage of financial independence. This would indicate that the financial troubles that have recently beset Savannah institutions have not discouraged the members of the group most closely concerned. That is the spirit that finally turns failure into success. While metropolitan dramatic critics are often charged with cold-blooded cruelty in slating a new play that fails to conform to their ideas of perfection, the Gary American showed merciless an Indian writer can be in a review by Alice Weakly, headed "Players Fail to Impress in Staging Romet and Juliet." A few paragraphs will suffice: That Shakespeare's plays have never been successfully acted by Negroes was confirmed in the opinion of many who witnessed the much advertised production of Roses, and Juliet sponsored by the theatre of Ethellyne Probst, the direction of Ethellyne Probst in the Roosevelt Theatre Friday night. The production of the play did not come up to expectations of the audience, many of whom left before the play was over. This was due to two reasons, first, many were not familiar with Shakespeare, and second, the characters were unable to produce any interest through lack of ability to execute their part. The characters were self-conscious and the articulation so poor that meaning was as clear as spoken Latin. For a play that requires strength, acting, laboring under great emotions, the characters did succeed in creating an impression that they were earnestly trying to accomplish something beyond them. They at least succeeded in honest effort. Some did do better than others, but it would naturally be expected that Romeo and Juliet were in love with each other instead of behaving like school-daughter. Either Romeo and Juliet had never loved, or were too self-conscious to pretend that they were in love, for the kiss that Romeo gave Juliet was a regular henpeck. Evidently the quality of meter was not strained by the crite, who confided with the caustic comment "It seems a dreadful thing to make so many people despise Shake speare." C. Blythe Andrews had a good word to say about the importance of athletic sports as a means of development, in a recent number of the Florida Sentinel. Referring to the Jacksonville tennis and golf tournament, he said: You have known in this line the game of baseball, recently you caught on to football. You are not a total stranger to tennis, but golf is something else again. Step away in your story you want what intelligent play means. Your athletic men, some was ahead of you, many thinking of your future, plan while you sleep to make life better and more interesting. Hold your head and stop crying the blues. Stop talking and look and listen. Wholesome play, whether tennis or golf or your favorite baseball or football, ought to take some wind out of your talking bag and put some more power in your head. This writer, planning to look on at the players, hopes to tell you who is your best golf player in this city. Meanwhile it will pay you well, whether you know the game or not—the chances are you don't pay this writer a visit and he his guest at the Lincoln Golf ground. As an index to the social and economic progress of the race in Florida, this is worth noting. Under the somewhat puzzling headline, "Curbing the Dobson Two," the California League of Los Angeles discusses the question of honesty among buyers it said. Credit men have a good word to say for the honesty of American, and nobody is in a better position to know. With credit statistics in their hands from virtually every city and town in the United States, they estimate that only one charge account of every 6,800 is bad and that 90 per cent of the people are honest. This trustworthiness of the public explains why 70 per cent of all tail business, in the larger cities, can be done through charge accounts, because of the mere fact that so much business is transacted on the credit basis in proof of the inherent honesty of the great majority of people. It is not to be presumed that the dishonest two per cent all presupose business at the expense of the honest 98 per cent, although it is true that those who do not pay the bills rob those who do, not the merchant, since losses are included in the business overhead. It does not appear what kind of carb is to be applied to the two people out of every hundred who will pay for their purchase. The problem of the "dead-beat" remains unolved. CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK Mt. Olivet Baptist Church There was a good attendance at the morning service at Mount Olive Baptist Church Sunday, September 24. The pastor, Rev. W. P. Hayes, chose his text from 1st Corinthians 3:21-22. For all things are yours whether Paul or Apollos or Lephas or the world or life, or death or things present or things to come, all are yours, and ye are Christs, not Christ is God's. In his discussion he spoke of the necessity of Christians having stamina; also the need of the uncultured preacher as well as the cultured, inasmuch as there are people that can be reached in no other way. That some people are pastors, some evangelists, etc., according to their several peculiar gifts, and that they are to be themselves through the Holy Spirit. True preaching is truth through personality. He also spoke of the enormous amount of money we of the colored race, spend each night in Harlem for pleasure, and how if this amount of $3,000 was saved for one week, the total amount of $2,000 would make a great business employment to many, and that bitter experiences are the stepping stones to success and happiness. The sermon was instructive, inspiring and powerful. The two Bible classes met at 1:30. The Philaeite Bible class had an interesting discussion concerning the making of money and Christianity. At the evening service Rev. Hayes selected his text from Matthew 5:13-14. "We are the salt of the earth, but if the salt have lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? Ye are the light of the world. A City that is set on an hill cannot be hid," The theme of his discourse was "Christ - Sermon on the Mount is known as the Magna, Charita of Christianity." Judas had lost his savour when he sold Christ for thirty pieces of silver. The entire discourse was touching in its appeal. The collections for the day amounted to $714.57. St. Mark's M. E. Church "Obedience to the Law" was the subject of the Rev. Dr. John W. Robinson's Sunday morning discourse at St. Mark. This sermon followed the one delivered the previous Sunday on "Capital Punishment." The pastor confended that law defines the rights of the individual if the social order and the public interest; that just laws for the regulation of human beings must be and always are in harmony with God's revealed law; and that lawlessness is anti-social, immoral and criminal. Rev. R. A. Bolden preached to the Junior Church and at the evening service. The Epworth League, with Richard Sisle, president, is having an unprecedented attendance and interest. The Sunday school is well attended at its every session. An All-Star Concert on Thursday, September 20, was given by a number of friends. Miss Mayana Clark deserves great credit for its success. Our kindergarten opened Monday September 24, with a good enrollment, Mrs. Marjory Jackson is in charge. Mrs. J. Ida Roberts Jiggetts, social worker, returns for her work next week and our gymnasium will begin its fall term. The banquet and lecture, Thursday night, September 21, is for Class 25, of which the pastor is leader. Grace Church of Harlem A goodly sized congregation attended the service at Grace this morning. In the absence of the pastor, Dr. Garner, Mr. King had charge of the first part of the service. The sermon was preached by the Rev Mr. Perry, of the Presbyterian Congregational Church of Georgetown, B.G., who took as his subject 'Jesus and the Quest for Life' John 10-10. Rev Mr. Perry is a most interesting speaker and sent a great many lessons home with his audience. The main lesson taught is that the "Quest for Life" is really a conquest of our own faults, our which sinages, our little isms and lack of comradeship in the church, and when we have really overcome all these things, we have really found Life in the Joy of God. Mrs. Olyve Jeter, the choir director and organist, has returned from her vacation. Grace Church is fortunate in secreth through Dr. Garner, the permanent services of W. Herbert King, who did such good work during the summer, as associate assistant Mrs. King comes from Monehouse and Oberlin Colleges, and now taking "middle class" work at Union Theological Seminary, and is getting his training through Grace Congregational Church; the utileage of Dr. Garner. Mr. King is a young man of great ability and sterling qualities and Grace Church is fortunate in securing his services. Church School convened at 1:15 with a goodly number of teachers and pupils present. In the absence of Mr. Reid, the superintendent, Mr. King was in charge. The Misses King and Pace acted as visiting teachers. There will be a national committee meeting under auspices of the Colored people's Republican Club, Thursday at 8:30 p.m. All are invited to attend. The Progressive Club will hold its first meeting of the season at the home of the president, Mrs. Nettie Terry, September 27. All members take notice. Grace Church presents Miss Gloria Adele in recital October 4, at 8:15, and Miss Ruth Ellis in "Abrahams First Born, October. 7, at 4 p.m. The vesper service was under the direction of Mis Olivia Hunter and Mr. King. After the usual prayer service, Mr. King sang two numbers it a most pleasing manner, after which Miss Hunter rendered three piano solos which were much enjoyed by those present. Mr. King then tailed on Dr. Garner, who was present to make a few remarks. Dr. Garner made an interesting address and the congregation was glad to welcome him home again after his stay in camp. Next Sunday the service will be under Lennuel Foster, who will sing and give a talk on "Negro Spirituals." ELIZABETH H. DAVIS Church Secretary. Union Baptist Church During the past week, our church and the little Mt. Zion Baptist Church have been holding union meetings. These services were well attended. Pastor, Sims and Dr. W, Campbell preached alternately. Our Sunday School had a very good session at 9 a.m. There were thirteen new scholars present and a number of visitors. At 11 a.m. the m chair, directed by Prof. Leon S. Adger, rendered excellent service in song. The message was delivered by Pastor Sims from the subject "The Unbounded Word of God." This was indeed a great message. When the appeal was made thirty-six persons united with the church. At the close of the service a photographer took some pictures of the different groups. The Missionary Society held a very interesting meeting. Sister Mary C. Wilkins was in charge, Rev. Hooper preached. Subject "Being in the Way." The B. Y. P. U. was 'well attended. An excellent program was presented by Mr. H. Tibbs. At 8 p. m. Rev. Matthews spoke on "Touching Jesus." This was indeed a very beneficial service. Sixteen were added to the church, which makes a total increase in membership for the day of fifty-two. Offering amounted to $452.44. St. James Pres. Church On Sunday, September 10th, Dr. Wm. Lloyd Ives, pastor of St. James, Presbyterian Church preached on the subject: "What will the church do in Anteria's Political Crisis." There was some misunderstanding as to some of the remarks Dr. Ives made in the course of his message, and was asked to state himself clearly on the Political matter. This Dr. Ives took the liberty to d the regular sermon of Sunday last September 23rd, at the 11 a. m. service. Dr. Imes made it clear that the church was neutral so fat as political parties were concerned, but personally he felt that neither of the two major political nominees deserved the Negro support. His reason clearly and forebly stated in morning, September of September 10th. Passing from a review of the sermon of September 10th, Dr. Imes announced the text of the morning sermon for September 23 as taken from the 16th chapter of Luke, dealing the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man. "The subject," "America, in a Prosperity Crists," was very interestingly discussed by Dr. Imes. Rush Memorial Church Woman's Day was observed by pastor and people of Rush Church. The entire day was given over to the women, under auspices of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society. At 11 o'clock, the pastor, Dr. G. M. Oliver, delivered 'the sermon: His subject "The Gospel Of The Kingdom" was selected from text; St. Matthew 24:14. In this message, the speaker laid much emphasis on the work of the missionary, both 'at home and abroad. "The Gospel," said he, "has served as a revelation to us" of the omnip- WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH cence of 'Gd.' There is no substitute for religion. The missionary has been given a commission to spread the gospel everywhere, and to uplift fallen humanity by carrying God's message to them. Rev. Mfg. R. K. Peters, Zion's senior missionary to Africa, in the point of service, preached at the three o'clock service from Philippians 4.3. A great lesson was taught by Mrs. Peters, as she related the story of the women who labored with Paul in the days when Christians were persecuted for preaching the Gospel of Christ, and compared conditions of 'the present day with those of that time. Women have been given an important work to do, and she must not fail to carry out the orders given her. At eight o'clock, Sister Matilda Watson used as, the subject on which to base her remarks: A Faithful "Woman" Ruth 1:15; 17, Sister Watson mentioned the qualifications of a beautiful character, as exemplified in the life of Ruth, and directing her remarks primarily to the women of the church, urged them to be faithful and always ready to do some good for everybody.

He inspired our hearts with the thought that the Lord provided a lamb for Abraham when he was about to offer up Isaac, his son in like manner. We, who are servants of God will never want any good thing as long as we recognize Him as our Father and Provider. Sunday evening, Paradise Church was filled to its utmost capacity. The Rev, H, W. Stanley delivered an inspiring sermon on "Ox, In-the Ditch," from St. Luke 14th chapter and 5th verse. He advised us who caused the ox to fall into the ditch and then pull him out on Sunday to amend our ways and leave off albis; but he always ready to work for the Master. St. Paul Baptist Church The enthusiasm in our church knows no bounds at the present time. For nearly twenty-two years the pastor, Rev. H.

The program of the dedicatory services was arranged away back in June, and is at present about ready to come off the press, but our people are still seeking a place for organizations with which they are affiliated, be given a place on it. We think that all of these may have their wishes granted, since some of the organizations invited have indicated that they will not be able to attend. We shall, therefore have those who can attend to be with us and help us to rejoice. The B. R. P. U. on Wednesday night last was in the hand of sister A. J. Ware's group, and despite the storm, and it was a bad one—had a goodly number out and a fine spice program. The collection came within about two dollars of being as much as on the previous Wednesday night, when there was a record attendance. Friday night, after the people had filled the place on the night preceding to enjoy the play entitled, "The Slab Town Convention," given by and for the Missionary Society, there was a good crowd of people out. Deacon Hammond and sister J. Anderson led the meeting, and there were remarks by the pastor. It was a very helpful meeting. Sunday the choir was out, with Mrs. Booker leading and Miss L. F. Booker, in the absence of Munc. Scott, at the piano. The singing was good. The pastor preached on "A Little Church With A Big Outlook." This was indeed, a stirring message, and it took hold on the people's mind. He came back in the afternoon and preached a short message on "A Great Dream, to the Cheerful Giver Club. Here too, there was a good attendance. Then in the evening, though his throat was somewhat tired and his voice hoarse, he preached a great sermon on "The Power Of The Gospel." At this service there were many visitors, and among them several preachers. We always welcome them among us, and all others who have the time to look in. The church is this week trying to set its house in order for the dedicatory services, which begin October 1, and continue through the month till the 4th of November. All sister churches and the public in general are most cordially invited to these services. Bethel A. M. E. Church Sunday morning Dr. Sanders used as his text, Psalms 17.5. Theme, "Slippery Places in Life's Pathway, or Watch Your Step." Some of the thoughts stressed were that just as there are slippery places in the physical path of life there are slippery places in the religions and moral life that endanger the soul of the traveler. Religion does not allow a man to stumpt; step by step the Christian moves on, so it is not only necessary for one to have the right start on long life's religious and moral path, but it is absolutely essential to follow the right path watching your step and avoiding the many pitfalls. David's "Create within me," O God, a clean heart and renew the right spirit." was a plea for spiritual strength after he had slipped in his pathway. There were many accessions. The music rendered by the chair at the morning service was very good indeed. At 2 p. m. the splendid church school choir added much to the program' of the school through the selection' they sang. 6 p. m. A. C. E. l. Hour was observed 8 p. m. the pastor used as his title. "Is it wrong for me to dance?" He delivered an interesting sermon. The text was Mark 6:27. The membership is reminded that Sunday, October 30, is class rally day. Are you ready. Mrs. Ida Johnson entertained the Coal Club from 4 to 6 Sunday afternoon. A delicious luncheon was served. The Golden Gate chorus, J. H Lindsay, conductor, sang at the morning service, rendering Spirituals. Among the out of town folks at church Sunday were Mrs. H. K. Spearman and H. D. Canyt of Jack sonville, Flg. a prominent layman of Mt. Zion, Mr. Canyt is the guest of Ed Canyt, his brother, while in the city. Spearman Flower Circle sent owrs to Leader Ben Steward. Spearman Memorial Clinic is open to the public Tuesday and Thursdays from 3 till 5 p.m. Dr. Gustavus Heiderson, chief of staff in charge. Sunday, September 16, Bishop W. H. Heard preached at the morning hour. Among other things, the bishop said he considered Dr. Sanders one of the very best pastors in the connection. This was greatly appreciated by the membership who think likewise. Dean William Parkens, speaking to an audience of seven hundred lae Sunday afternoon at Bethel Young People's Lyceum, made a hit with the "audience, when he scored The next special meeting will be held Sunday, October 14, at 4 o'clock when Mrs. Frances E. Hebbons and Joseph A. Horton will have charge of the program. Miss Ruth Washington served as critic at the last meeting. Visitors introduced Sunday were Arthur A. Schomburg, Attorney Myrtle Anderson-Howard and the Rev. Wm. P. Bryson of Williams Institutional C. M. E. Church. Mother Zion Church Sunday was Foreign Missionary Day at Mother Zion Church under auspices of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society. The pastor preached upon "Christianity's Great Task"—Matthew 28:19 20. Dr. Brown said in part: This is Foreign Missionary Day throughout the A. M. E. Zion connection. Notwithstanding that this is the greatest task of the church, many church members and Christians in the homeland are not interested. I think the cause is the lack of knowledge and world vision. At the close, fourteen persons united with the church. There were a number of out-of-town visitors present including Mrs. W. A. Stewart of Pasadena, Cal. M. Miss M. R. Anderson of St. Paul Minn.; Miss Corinne Statom of Augusta, Gay; Miss Alice V. Johnson of Greenville, N. C.; Miss Lillian Wright of Atlanta, Ga.; Horace T. Wilson of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. E. Prutti of Louisville, Ky.; Miss Sadie F. Fagan of Plymouth, N. C.; Miss Cissie Davis of Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. A. L. Blanks of Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Bessie Weston of Savannah, Ga.; Rev. Samuel W. Sawyer of Winston-Salem, N. C.; Miss Frankie Marsh of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Alice R. Johnson of Toledo, Ohio, and Miss Helene M. Hinds of Montclair, N. J. "The Call of the Schools" was Dr. Brown's sermon, subject to the Junior Church congregation at 10.30 a.m. Church school was largely attended at 2 p.m. At 3.10 p.m., the missionary mass meeting under the auspices of the Young People's and Junior Missionary Societies, was held. Miss Shabalala a native of Africa was the speaker. At 8 p.m., it was the anniversary of the Missionary Society, Mrs. Lelia Walters was mistress of ceremonies and Mrs. P. A. Wallace was the speaker. The 13th anniversary of the organization of Mother Zion Church and the third anniversary of the erection of our new edifice opened under auspices of the Board of Leaders on Monday night, at which time the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church was guest, Dr. W, P. Hayes, preacher, and music by the Mt. Olivet Church choir. Tuesday was Abyssinian Baptist Church night, Dr. A. C.

Church The Christian Episcopal Church, 127 West 130th street, formerly known as the Christian Wesleyan Methodist Church, Rev. H. A. Rogers, pastor, held its fifth anniversary services on Sunday, September 16, at 11 n. 4, m. and 4 p. m. At 11 a. m the sermon was preached by Dr. G. Alexander McGuire, Archbishop and Primate of the African Orthodox Church. At 4 p. m. addresses were delivered by several clergymen among whom were Bishops Arthur Stanley and William T. Tyacks; Canon C. A. Smith and Revs. A. C. Dalrymple and Wilfred Kirton Music was rendered by the choir under leadership of C. Beck, organist, and E. B. Swanson, choir director. The choir of St. Joseph African Orthodox Church also took part. Fleet Street Memorial Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor of Fleet Street Church, and Deacon H. B. Norville, assistant, conducted overflow services in the two extension rooms of the church on Sunday morning. Happy occurrences were experienced and so expressed by the congregations, both speakers endowing to communicate truth in a way that all could understand. Rev. Brown chose for te subject of his text, "Saltless and Saltiness," Deacon Norville spoke on principles of "Christian Doctrine." The Sunday school session at the regular hour was unusually interesting. At the close of the lesson study period, four splendid young men, all members of this school, about to depart for the various colleges, held the attention of the entire school when they were called upon by the general superintendent to give the parting word. Those constituting the number were James Lee, Harold Darden, Andrew Jackson and Israel Elliott. Mrs. Rebecca Hamilton Cofield of Newport News, Va., was among pleasant visitors attending the session. "The Great Cause" was the theme of the pastor's message at the evening, service. The main auditorium of the church being closed for decorations, will be opened for worship on Sunday, September 30. At the evening service on that date, the sacred concert which takes place every fifth Sunday evening will be given. Concord Baptist Church Sunday evening the entire message was delivered by Miss Marjorie Parsons, a member and worker in the Concord Church, who has recently returned from a tour of Europe which included the World Youth Peace Conference in Erde, Holland. She told of the party conducted by Dr. Matthews and its travels and experiences in Russia, Austria, France, England and at the Conference. Although the issue of the various commissions at Erde was not religious it seems that the delegates from India, Af- Phone-Broadhurst 0657 CLEANERS OF THE BETTER KIND The New Jersey Dyeing & Cleaning ESTABLISHMENT DRY CLEANING A SPECIALTY 2308 Seventh Avenue Between, 135th and 136th St, Goods Called for And Delivered Sept 15-3 mo. THE rica, America, Europe and other portions of the world conclude that a lasting or effective peace would be forced to have as its base or foundation a structure of religious nature. The youth present stood out unflinchingly on the point that imperialism must end and races be freed from oppression. The Brooklyn Home for Aged Colored People witnessed a well conducted service of Sunday School worship presented by the Concord Sunday School at 3:30 in the afternoon. Mrs. S. Dexothy Fahiridge with well chosen English and meaning introduced Captain C.C. Cooper who has been superintendent of this body nearly a year. He expressed joy in the presence of age because the men and women active today in church life, are the result of its prayers and labors. Mr. James Farrar, a teacher and deacon gave an expression of the Sunday School lesson, Robert Harris, also a teacher and deacon talked with heaven for the people. Rev. James B. Adams briefly and pointedly greeted the friends living in the Home and complimented the Sunday School for its thoughtfulness and its contribution of $31. A response was given by Mrs. Chadwick and Mrs. Edwards. Usual as this occurrence may seem it was unusual in that the whole service went through singotly in one hour and a half with no tiresome long speeches and aside from the congregational singing one solo of worth by Mrs. Elizabeth Perry. The closing of this month marks the beginning of the fall work at Concord. Promotion in the Sunday School occurred in the morning. Clubs are opening their meetings and rehearsals for various entertainments and affairs are in progress. Nazarene Cong. Church The Rev. Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor filled his pulpit at both services Sunday, speaking at the morning hour on "The Practice of Kindness." He spoke of kindness as the flower of love and a thing that all could show. He made application to the home, business and church. At the evening time he continued his series of sermons on "Famous Friends of Freedom," speaking on "Abraham Lincoln, the Emancipator," whom he considered the consummate flower of American manhood. The service was a celebration of the issuance of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, September 22, 1862. There were many visitors present, representing both races. Mrs. Mabel Diggs Bergen, who has just returned from her vacation, sang with fine effect at the evening hour, and Prof. W. E. Lew who is to have charge of the music of the church; sang at the morning hour, with great acceptance. He takes over the work of the choir the first Sunday in October. Sunday, October 7, is to be Home Coming Day, when new members will be received and the communion administered. The pastor will preach at the morning hour, and secretary C. H. Tobias will be the speaker at the evening time, when the workers for the new year will be presented and the fall campaign begin. Richard E. Harrison, dramatic reader, read Dunbar's "Little Brown Baby" with artistic effect before the Sunday School, P. M. Thompson, in charge. Refreshments at the Sunday evening hour were in charge of Mrs. John Arrington and committee. Mrs. Remix will be the chairman in charge this Sunday evening. The pastor will fill his pulpit at both services next Sunday, speaking at the morning hour on "The Progressive Christian," and at the evening time he will continue his scopes of historical sermons on "Famous Friends of Freedom—Henry Ward Beccher the Preacher," Mrs. Mabel Diggs, Bergen will sing both morning and evening.

WHITE EQUITY ASSOCIATION SETS FORTH ITS ACTION IN THE PAUL ROBESON MATTER The matter of the suspension placed temporarily upon Paul Robeson, distinguished Negro baritone, who is now singing in the London production of Floreng Ziegfeld's "Show Boat" (Jules Bledsoe is singing the same part in the New York production now having an indefinite run at the Ziegfeld Theatre, 54th street and 6th avenue.) is attracting much attention and is a source of anxious interest to Robeson's friends. I have had a least a dozen inquiries from various sources asking for authoritative information as to just what has occurred to cause the Actors' Equity Association and the Chorus Equity Association (affiliated with the American Federation of Labor) to place its ban upon Robeson, who has won so high a ranking for himself in the concert and theatrical worlds and with whose welfare the entire race is deeply concerned. Befitly, it appears that charges laid against Robeson were to the effect that he signed a contract to appear in a revue to open sometime between the first and the middle of October, 1929, under the management of a Mrs. Caroline Dudley Reagan, operating as Caroline Dudley, but that after going to London with Ziegfeld and Sir Alfred Burt for the "Show Boat" production at the Drury Lane Theatre, Robeson had changed his mind and failed to return to America for rehearsals of the Dudley revue. And in addition to this alleged defection, it was reported that Robeson had signed with Ziegfeld to appear in a second "Show Boat" company to open in New York this fall. Mrs. Dudley then canbled Robeson, reminding him of his contractual obligation with her, (calling for his appearance for the season of 1928-1929, under the usual Equity "run of the play" terms, for which he had accepted a check for $500, an advance of one week's salary under the contract), and asking for information as to the exact date of his return to New York that she might arrange for rehearsals. "Equity," the official organ of the organization, in its issue for September, 1928, in a formal statement "housed "The Tangled Affairs of Paul Robeson," reports that Robeson sent the following cable to Mrs. Dudley in reply to her query: "All plans indefinitely postponed. Sending Essie (Essie" is Mrs. Eslanda Goode Robeson, his wife soon to discuss rearrangement." In the meantime, Mrs. Dudley had taken the matter up with the Equity Association, and that body also canbled Robeson asking his intentions. The singer is quoted as replying: "No contract relations until September 1st. Wrote Dudley today stating fully my position." Equity construed this as meaning an acknowledgment that Robeson felt himself under contract after September-1. He did not come, but Mrs. Robeson came instead. She called on Frank Gillmore, executive secretary and treasurer of Equity, and declared that her husband did not consider himself an actor, but a singer, and that he did not like the idea of singing "blues" in a revue. "He does not think that sort of singing would be good for his voice or his reputation," she is reported to have said. Mr. Gillmore then said, according to the statement, "You don't know just what Miss Dudley is planning for him yet. Why don't you get in touch with her and see what the book requires of your husband." "But—Spirituals in a revue! My husband feels that they would be out of place, that he could not have the proper surroundings or atmosphere for their singing," retorted Mrs. Robeson. "There again," replied the secretary, "you do not know under what conditions they will be sung, or what the effects will be. And if you had these doubts why didn't you notify Miss Dudley before you went abroad? She has done all of her work and secured all her backing on the assumption that she would have your husband for the production." Finally, Mrs. Robeson agreed to cable her husband, but without giving any definite assurance that he would return $^4$ the Dudley revenue. After some days, not hearing from Mrs. Robeson, the Equity Council, feeling that even a new manager; as is Miss Dudley, deserved protection, notified Mrs. Robeson by a telegram from the executive secretary, of a meeting to be held on Tuesday to take action in her husband's case. On Tuesday morning, Mrs. Robeson telephoned in to Equity that she had not heard from Mr. Robeson. Then on August 29, last, the Council ordered the secretary to send the following cable to Robeson at Drury Lane Theatre, London; "Your contract with Dudley is binding. It would be against law and simple honesty to ignore, it now. The lady_has entered into grave financial responsibilities on strength of said contract. Do you wish to ruin her and stamp yourself as dishonorable? Your suspension from Equity with its train of publicity and oprobrium will start Saturday unless you cable your intention of returning." Receiving no reply to this cable, Secretary Gillmore cabled again on September 6, notifying Robeson that on September 1 the Council had placed him under temporary suspension. The law provides that a defense must be submitted in ten days, but as Robeson is in London, the Council gave him until October 2 to file a satisfactory reply, laying down the ultimatum that a failure to do so would entail changing his suspension from its temporary status to an indefinite period. And according to "Equity": "There the matter rests for the present. Roheson, in England, is outside the jurisdiction of this association. He might, on his return, confine his activities entirely to concert work, in which case he would continue to remain outside Equity's jurisdiction. "But the association believes that it would be a great pity if this outstanding member of his race should take such a narrow view of the obligations he incurred when he signed this contract." In an editorial expression, Grant Stewart, editor of "Equity," takes for his subject, "Suspension for Cause," and writes in part as follows: "Of all the actions of the Council none is taken with more reluctance or causes more distress than that which is occasionally necessary—Suspension for Cause. That step is taken only as a last resort and when all other methods of inducing a member to live up to his obligations to the public, his management and his fellow-players have failed. No suspension for cause is restricted to the graver offences and then only when milder means have been tried unsuccessfully. In general it is a punishment-inflicted only upon members who have broken contracts; members who by drink or other agencies have unified themselves for giving good performances; or members who have deliberately disregarded the constitution and by-laws of their association by playing in non-Equity companies, or otherwise. In each of these instances the actions for which members have been suspended have injured others than the members involved or have been deterred to the welfare of the theatre itself. It is a source of some gratification that the list of those suspected for cause is as small as it is. It is, you may take our word for it, a matter of deep distress for the Council to have to pass such a sentence, and the members of the Council are glad when conditions permit them to authorize the removal of any name from that list." In the formal statement, Miss Dudley is referred to as an impressor who had once taken an all-Negro company to Paris, and that she believed there had been as yt no real Negro revue. She believes this, which have been presented to be imitations of white revues, and that there is an opening for one which would not be merely composed of Negroes, but would accurately reflect and interpret Negro ideals and viewpoints, and that Paul Robeson would be the focal point of such a revue, singing the Negro Spirituals which he has given on the concert stage. Mir Robeson had signed the Dudley contract and accepted the $900 advance payment, he made an appearance in "Porggy," which carried a long New York run last Saturday night and is being shown in Boston this week, later going to England for the "Show Boat" appearance. --- Since announcement of the suspension, as given in the metropolitan dailies, there have been many speculations, and many of Mr. Robeson's friends have rushed to his defense. Mrs. Robeson's statement that her husband's appearance in a revue would impair his reputation and lower his dignity met a sympathetic reception. But in the absence of any other definite statement from the singer himself, it would appear as though he has been badly advised by someone, perhaps Mrs. Robeson herself. Certainly it does not seem just the thing to do to sign a formal contract to perform certain employments, accept an advance payment on the future salary, and then, at the last minute, remember conditions that should have been considered before the contract was signed. And it is the more to be regretted that in this case Mr. Robeson is probably in a position where he probably would have to make some financial sacrifice and perhaps lose some acclaiming plaudits in order to fulfill the terms of a contract accepted and signed when he did not have anything more tangible in sight. In the meantime, Mrs. Robeson and her baby son, Paul junior, with her mother, Mrs. Goode, sailed Friday night of last week for London to rejoin her husband. CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE RETURNS FROM HAITI WITH MATERIAL FOR OPERA Clarence Cameron White, the distinguished violinist and composer, head of the Department of Music at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, has returned from Haiti, where he spent several weeks collecting material, musical and literary, upon which to base an opera which he is planning to write within the next few months, the book of which will be prepared in collaboration with John F. Matheus, professor of romantic languages at the same college, who accompanied Mr. White upon the Haitian trip. Mr. White tells an interesting story of his experiences while visiting the little Black Republic of the Carribean, and where he was the recipient of distinguished courtesies from both Haitian and American dignitaries. He exhibits with pride a handsome photograph of President Borno, bearing an autographed signature in which the Haitian Executive refers to Mr. White as the "distinguished violinist". Mr. White, Mr Matheus and William Warrick White, the composer's son, who accompanied his father, were guests at the Executive palace. Another unusual coudtesy was dinner given by the American charge d'affaires, said to have been the first time a Negro American has been formally entertained by the diplomatic corps.

This opera, by the way, will be based largely upon the eventful and dramatic life of the former patriot and president, Désalines, with some references toward the reign of Christophe. Proposing to give it a Haitian atmosphere, Mr. White at the same time, plans to make it an entirely original creation musically. He has collected a goodly supply of the matric material, including several forms of the national dance, the Merangue, but for his opera Mr. White will write a new Merange There is a dearth of musical material, says Mr White, and an almost entire absence of mass musical expression. Not only do the people not engage in spontaneous singing, but there is an absence of song birds. In fact, says the composer, there are few feathered folk of any kind on the island. Such singing as is done by the Haitians is lacking of harmonious arrangement. There is no four-part singing at all, even when mixed groups are singing. All the voices are in unison, soprano and bass, alto and tenor. This peculiarity refutes the trusim that all Negroes sing instinctively in harmonic forms. While in, Port, au Prince, Mr. White appeared in琴刊 recital at the Theatre Parisiana, a handsome white marble building, but with a seating capacity of only about five or six hundred. The city boasts another theatre of about the same capacity. The accompanist for this concert was Mine, Mellhorn, wife of the director of the Service d'Hygiene, an American from one of the western states. For this program, Mr. White selected two numbers by Coleridge-Taylor, Ballade in C Minor and La Danse Africaine; Romance by Denazak Kreisler; Melodie Viennese by Kreisler; Corpuse by Massanet; Scherzo by Van Goens; Preisleid by Wagner-Wilhelm; and a group of his own compositions, including Chanso du Travail, Serenade, Sur le Bayon, Valse Coquets, Chant Negre and Dance Negre This program was played Saturday evening, September 8, before a distinguished audience, His Excellency, President Borno and Mrs. Borno, occupying their official box, which was draped with the national colors. "Le Matin," one of the leading papers in Port au Prince, published a lengthy and discriminating review of the recital, declaring that those who missed the recital because of a heavy rain storm "substracted from their life one of these hourly truly pleasant and which might have consoles them of many others perhaps." Referring to the artist, the reviewer wrote "Mr. Cameron White has a fine sympathetic head, sound and good. His hair 'cresspel' and slightly grey.

TODAY Leaving School of Hare and Burmese Colony Trenton, N. J. --- During the course of a year, and as most of our readers know, the column has been running now for a number of years, many suggestions come to us regarding what Pullman porters ought to do, should do, and might do. These suggestions, which come orally as well as in writing, cover a wide range of ideas touching on and appertaining to the life and activities of Negro employees of the Pullman Company, which undoubtedly, is the largest single employer of Negroes in America. Unfortunately, some of these suggestions do not merit our space, for the simple reason that we cannot see where or how their publication would be of any benefit to those employees. In all charishtailness, however, we do not believe that any are offered with malicious intent, we have that feeling, anyway. Still, we have to draw the line on some of them. On the other hand, some of the suggestions that come to us are exceptionally good, that is, from our point of view. Those we take pleasure in publishing. One of this character has been recently received by us, and we are passing it on to Negra employees of the Pullman Company for their consideration. To our mind, it contains vision; it is novel and it has potential possibilities. Here it is: To the editor of Things Seen, Heard and Done Among Pullman "To the editor of Things Sean, Heard 'and Done Among Pullman Employee, The New York Age. Dear Sir: "My husband, who is a Pullman porter, tells me that perhaps you for sometime regarding the Negro employees of the Pullman service, might give space in your column to an idea which I have entertained. The idea is this: "What is the matter with the Negro employees of the Pullman Company—who, I understand, number more than fifty thousand, including car porters—staging an exhibition of the skill, artistry and talent of members of their families? It is my idea that an exposition of such character, held in some large center, such as New York, Chicago, Philadelphia or St. Louis, would be of inimitable help to the colored workers of this corporation. "Furthermore, such an exhibition would have the effect of showing the white race that the wives, daughters and sons of the ordinary laboring Negro class can produce in the way of art, craft and skill. Among the porters' group, especially, life to be found families in which one, and sometimes more, of the members is an expert in some sort of artistry. Now, if this talent could be gathered under one roof and their ingenuity shown, the results could not help but be beneficial to the entire Negro race." Without going into details as to the feasibility of the thing, I am asking that you kindly publish this letter in your column. I may add that I have discussed the matter with several of my women friends, who are wives of Pullman porters, and they are in agreement with me in thinking that such a project would be a success. "Thanking you in advance for any comments you may wish to add to the forgoing ideas, I remain. 'Sincerely yours. "MAUD JONES" Mrs. Jones's letter speaks for itself. Our only addition to what we stated in the introductory remarks is that the space of this column is open to any and all members of the Pullman fraternity who wish to state their views on the subject. Believes That Some Of One's Flowers Should Come While One Is Alive Mr. Louis White, a regular and esteemed correspondent of this department, believes that some of the nice things we have to say of those we know should not be left unsaid while the persons are around to appreciate them. In other words, he believes that some of one's flowers should come to one while one is alive. Under date of September 12, Mr. White writes us a letter, which says in part: "I wish to thank you for the compliments expressed in your letter of recent date regarding the services which I have-received The Age and your column during the past year. I appreciate the esteem and value which you have so openly shown of my efforts and contributions. Your sentiments and appreciation were expressed with such candor and sincerity that they had the effect of giving me impetus to redouble my efforts as a contributor to your column: "In commending on your articles, The Difference, of August 18, and Sam Preman, the Pullman welfare worker, article is worthy of note. The former article shows that your insight in human character goes below the surface." In the latter you prove that your mind is able to discern the good qualities of a man, even though they are covered by a rough exterior. "Expressions certifying to the worth of an individual are usually reserved for the time when the individual has passed beyond this earthly sphere. In fact, most of us take the character of Jonas Chuzlewitz in Dickens' Martin Chuzlewitz, who was most lavish in the expenditure of a burial outlay for his father, old Anthony Chuzlewitz, but during his father's lifetime begrudged, him the barest necessities for comfort. that same spirit prevails today. "The commendable traits of a man are left unsaid and unsung during his lifetime, but after death takes the man they are lauded to the shoes. May you and your paper continue, your policy of letting worthy men and women know that their merits are cherished in life." (COMMUNICATED) IS JUSTICE DEAD in Concord Baptist Church of Christ? Why are Church Meetings postponed for months so that the members can't obtain a square deal, hence must resort to the Public Press? "With malice toward none, with charity toward all." - Lincoln. Alice Frances Thompson has been reared in Brooklyn, New York; before the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Thompson. Joseph and Alice are the only surviving members of the family. When Joseph was 9 years of age and Alice 10, the master saw fit to take their mother, their father having died years before. As a consequence, they became orphan children to face the future. By an order of the Court, a guardian was appointed to look after the maintenance of these children until they became of age. Lester R. Henderson (white) was the aforementioned guardian, and he kept his promise in seeing that neither Alice nor Joseph wanted for anything. At the age of 11 years, Alice was converted and baptized by the sainted pastor, William T. Dixon, joining the Concord Baptist Church of Christ. She was a regular attendant of its Sunday school. Having had a pod mother, and fatherly pastor, who took great interest in her well- "MAUD JONES" itself.

From that time until now she has never given her church any trouble. She is rarely absent from her church unless ill or out of town. In the year 1920 a new minister was asked to come to Concord, after the death of the lamented Dr. William M. Bloss. At this time Concord had nearly one thousand members, but only about 400 votes were cast for the new incumbent. Alice, with a number of the other older members of the church, was opposed to him; not because of his youth, but because of his inexperience. However, after he came, she thought the future would bring about a pleasant change. The change came, but things have grown and continue to grow worse. Alice was a Sunday school teacher, likewise held an office in all of the several organizations with which she affiliated. Because of her willingness to do things, her servives were much in demand. She was one of the first women ushers in Concord. As a matter of fact, Concord had few affairs of note that did not include the name of Alice Thompson. With it she never was nor is known to be of the so-called well-heard type. In the year 1821, the Silver Lock and the Lions' Savior Club were spared to withdraw from the church by the new minister, due to the fact that both of these organizations had in their number persons who did not cast a vote for this man. Alice held an office in each of these clubs. February, 1925, the Christian Endeavor Society was asked to withdraw from the church, and that is putting it in a mild team when I say, "asked to withdraw." Now this organization had been in Coxgord for 30 years, yet because it was undenominational, it had to be broken up. This society ranked high in the Christian Endeavor Union. I am wondering at this moment if only the Baptists will be admitted to heaven. Alice was also a great worker in the Christian Endeavor. Society at that time, being its vice-president, and had represented the society at many of its conventions. The organization was cast out, but its then treasurers, who is now an officer in the church proper, has been allowed to withhold the destroyed society's funds. All attempts to get the same have failed, yet there is nothing said about this from the pulpit, the society was not of the Baptist faiths yet one Baptis is allowed to withhold funds and is taught paught of it. If we are real Christians, then all are Christian Endeavorers. For the past two or three years on the part of the pulp, there has been an unchristian attitude towards the lady ushers of the church. Everytime one comes to the church, these ushers are on the list for a general nagging. There seems to be no real reason given, but the tongue lashing must come up any way. Well, there were times when Job's patience seemed to wear on him a little, however he once said, "All the days of my appointed time, will I wait until my change comes." Job 14:14. Statements have been made from the pulpit that the lady ushers never give anything towards the support of the church. This is not true. Furthest, the church has never asked for anything that has not been granted. The Usher Board has records bearing this out. It is simply a general fault-finding. Two of the outstanding complaints against this group were that we gave sick fees, because we sent an ill member a small donation, and that we had testimonials from the members of the Usher Board before the regular meeting at which time each member quoted, a Scripture verse. What is Christianity if we cannot help our fellowman? What does Proverbs tell us in 3:6 and 7? "In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy path." "Be not wise in thine own eyes, fear the Lord and depart from evil." When one gets so high that he can't open a meeting and ask God's blessings upon it, there is something very wrong with that person or persons. Above all, there was peace and harmony on the board, but it exists no longer. "Woe to him that scattered my sheep." My sympathy goes out to the one who would rather see discord and have one's way, rather than to have peace. Concord had one of the best organized set of women ushers to be found any place, and I know where-of I speak. Yet, with all this, the president has been accused of blocking the pulpit. In August, 1927, the ushers became a part of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs, an organization which has stood for thirty-two years, and whose motto is "For God and Humanity." This organization stands for the uplift of the women of our race, and therefore, whether the women are ushers or not, there is much to be learned by affiliation with such a body. The pulpit has stated that the ushers would not be in the organization, and so these women came in again for general all around criticism. Well, I stood it as long as I could, so on Tuesday, June 12, I went to the minister of the church, with a witness, respectfully requesting an explanation of the cause for the continued, fault-finding of the ushers. Well, every subject was discussed but the ushers. I also asked about the Federation. The truth had to be admitted that they were a fine group of women, but they were not Baptists. The weakness of the man was plain to be seen when we consider the Federation, with over 800 women, was expected to be of one faith. We knew when we left the office as much as we did before entering same. But the quiser part of the whole thing after all the criticism, was that we heard when attending the convention at Newport, R. I., likewise in Boston, Mass, that this same Federation had been asked to give a contribution to a party, who was then in Europe, after demanding that the ushers withdraw from the Federation. We were told all about matters before the convention ever started. Too, there was some misunderstanding one of the lady ushers, I guess, aimed by the person to request this person's resis nation, I raised on the ground that he and was not conquered with it in any way. I also asked the minister why he did not personally ask the usher to resign rather than ask him to do something he would not do himself. He has not asked the party to resign as yet, nor do I believe he ever will, however I am acceded of "blocking." I think its about time to block the wrong things. During the year of 1926, the minister had an idea of an associate pastor. The church officially did not want or need one, but it was decided if he must have one, that the selection be left in the hands of the pulpit. Hence, a young man from the Pilgrim Baptist Church in Chicago was selected, for the position. This young man seemed to have a bright future before him, when he came to Concord. Everything seemed to be alright for about a year. The popularity of the associate pastor grew rapidly among the members. Then the monster jealousy was shown to such an extend that it was decided noticeable that he was not called upon by the minister to preach. Things grew worse, and finally the associate pastor submitted his resignation as such assistant, to his superior in office. In the later part of November, 1927, on a Friday evening, the minister stated from his pulpit (publicly), that he wished to speak to "Miss Thompson" after that service. I went to the office as requested. The minister then spoke in "biter terms concerning his now ex-associate, in fact all the clergy came in for a lashing. Letters were even read to me that had been exchanged between the ex-associate pastor and the minister. None of these things moved me. Not only so, I stated as much to the minister. At this interview, I was asked to get from the treasurer of the Usher Board $20 or $30 and give it to him (the minister). I replied that no president had the right to go to any treasurer and get an organization's fund without the consent of the body. I treed to make this very plain. Nothing more was heard of this until January, 1928, when the new officers of the Usher Board were installed. I stated then that the affair was a closed incident with me. This money was supposed, to be given to the ex-associate as hush money, so matters would not look so plain. WILL THE READER JUST READ BETWEEN THE BINES? A few weeks-later this idea came to me that the stranger from the Windy City had not been treated fair by the person who was the cause of his being in Brooklyn, too, it looked bad for the church. I spoke to some friends of getting up a testimonial, and they readily consented to help me. The affair was given on February 29, 1928, and was more than a success. Many outstanding people of Concord, as well as other churches were present. The minister was sent an invitation. He failed to attend nor did he send any regrets. During the time this affair was being staged, I came in for all kinds of talk. I was discussed pro and con, of course, behind my back. One would have thought I was, getting up a big dance for a Man of God. The pulpit nor not one of the church officers was big enough to come to my face and say a single word. They could truthfully find no fault with the head of the affair. If it was, such a terrible crime to do a christian act for another, should I not have been called into conference and the 18th Chapter of Revelations and the 15th verse read—all the chapters for that matter. It was stated that the ushers gave the air. I would like to have it thoroughly understood that because I am an usher, I don't have to depend, on them to support such a thing. The ushers did not give it. Nothing was ever said about the matter in an usher meeting. It was also said that all ushers who attend off the board, and the board disbanded some christian fellowship. Up to date, no charges have been preferred against the president. On June 12, when I waited upon the minister, there was nothing said concerning this, and everything that was mentioned as having been said to my absence, was denied. Of course 1, realize that four or five ushers have been deceitful with both the pulpit and the president. They will say one thing in the meeting and go to the minister with another. They will call some of these to his office and tell them thing to put over because they believe that whatever the minister says is wrong along with them, because he has no right to show partiality. One member is as good as another, whether or not an office holder. The officials of the church are also wrong in allowing one man to do as he pleases. They know things are not right in the church, yet not one will open his mouth for fear of the office or becoming unpopular with his family. The master is, if one does not cover up wrong, and permit things to be run on the 'one man' basis, then you are criticized from the pulpit. It always happens in my absence that I am accused of blocking his (the minister's) plants), plans, and just as soon as arrive on the some place as soon as else, I am proclaimed in the wrong, why are I jammed on the subject and brought face to face with true facts? God in our response to persons you question nations. Reckons us? 1214 tells us, "For God shall bring every work into diligence with every secret thing, whether it be good or evil. Galatiana 6:7 says, 'God not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sowthat shall he also reap. Now to be suited from an office by one man, no reason given, is k not used not to be overlooked, not to be ignored, not to be murdered but if it is the principle. After all, what does this man benefit by his actions? What good does it do? I believe: simply adds a new set of foes to his list. I wonder if he to realize that he himself is more hurt than the other man, he fries to injure? Surely he has a con- science. There is too much of this kind of wrong going on under cover. If one can't be treated eight in the Church of God, then where? It we build up with them let us create toward down them. We are walking the streets today without positions, who have dependents, while there are others who have enough and to spare, yet these are not satisfied. At one time, Lincoln said, "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." It is about time that the fooling of the people be stopped, and let the supposed head of the church treat the parishioners as though they were at least human and worthy of some deference. One of the members who have been treated so very undairy were those who fought bitterly for the incumbent at Concord, and what thanks have they received? During the past one and a half years, the Sunday school has had three superintendents, and just as soon as this present one does one thing of his own accord, he will be ousted. Two secretaries, one from the church and one from the Sunday school, were just cast out without excuse or consent of the church, and the eye can see that if things were right, all these changes would not take place. How can one man use so much authority and get away with it? Can one man support the church? No, a thousand no's. Then if one man cannot support the church, why should one man rule? Matthew 18: 15 tells "If thy brother offend thee, go to him and tell him his fault between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, then thou has gained thy brother, but if the brother does not hear, then take one or more witnesses, that in the mouth of two be attainted, and that in the mouth of three be attainted, and that if thy brother shall still neglect pear hear then and not till then, bring it to the church, and then if they don't hear the church, then cast them off." Christ never meant for His followers to be treated the way they are treated in Concord, and if we are following in His steps and really fear God, we can't treat our neighbors wrong. I realize that we are living in an age of unrest, and that the ends of time are fast approaching, and that the time will come when friends shall despise and forsake one another without reason. That time is right here, but let us watch as well as pray that we will be steadfast until the end, remembring Deel's account as his督oute. hours, that he had learned in whatsoever, state he was to therewith be content. We should never forget the motto to treat others as we would like to be treated. In my tittle, Concord has had really two God-sent men, one, Pastor Dixon, who walked and talked with God, and knew how to treat the members of the church, and he prayed for you and with you. One was not, cast out like a nobody. Concord was really Concord. If my life is, is suffering, its from the christian training received under this Saint of God. My heart was made almost to bleed when on June 3, 1928, at the morning service, this saint's name was slurred from the pulpit because flowers had been placed there in his memory. Some of the older members of the church was accused openly of just thinking about him. Even thought he has been in heaven these 19 years, we shall always remember, we felt 44.18 — "Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do, follow them." Following the death of Pastor Dixon, we were with a pastor for one year, the church being in the hands of the chairman of the Deacon Board, Deacon Zezo, another one of God's chosen, who was treated just like he was inhuman, but his life was not so. The person in charge, Dr. William Mr. Moss was called to help Pastor Dixon, Dr. Moss was a fine Christian man, and one really worthy to step in the place of Pastor Dixon. He was that type of man that one was never too small to be seen by him, and as for walking pass a person and not speaking, he would not think of such a thing. He was not a member of any of the organizations in the organization in the church, nor out. We jament Dr. Moss as well as his predecessor I was very young when converted, but I do know that I was really converted, if I had not been, I, too, might have strayed away. As I look back and think of these real God-gent men and Just think if living to age 1928 or a part of it, and have just now come to be accused of blocking the pulpit, I have reached the conclusion that if this is true, I should be sent to Mottawan for the criminal insult. I have been in Brooklyn all of my life except when away attending some convention or on my vacation. I have friends all over the United States, and never have made trouble for anyone at any place, even though without relatives and practically alone in the world. Further, I clearly anyone to say that they have ever heard or seen anything of me that was unbecoming a Christian kindness. My reputation with the people of the other race is likewise as good, and I try to live at my position the same as I do elsewhere. I have nothing to boast of, but Christ and Him crucified, because without Him we are nothing. We cannot serve God and man at the same time, and for this reason the pupil has already, stated, the only fault he found was that I blocked everything he did, and yet he calls to name how and when all blocking was done. I am waiting to heat that. In the first place, I don't see any real thing put over any man's christianity, and the because "christianity" done has been a failure, to say nothing of the fact that the Commandments have been put entirely in the background, especially Exodus 20:37 I seem that the entire Bible has been forgotten by some, but truth crushed to earth shall rise again. I want to make known the fact that during; the World, War, when I was seriously ill, the Clubs of Concord sent me to Lakewood, N. J. for my health. I had the person to block the pulpit and termed out of harmony and all such falsehoods, you may be sure it never would have been done. This is not all that the older members of the church have done, and I have tried to show my appreciation by not bringing any discord into the church.

Church One could easily feel the combination of joy and sorrow which filled the hearts of Emanuel's Congregation Sunday as we listened to the assistant pastor, Rev. S. R. Higgins. For two years Rev. Higgins has worked faithfully with Emanuel as pastor of the Junior Church and superintendent of the Sunday school while completing his theological training at Union Theological Seminary. He leaves us soon to begin his work as pastor in South Carolina. Rev. Higgins spoke from the subject, "A Reasonable Religion." The manner in which he handled this subject and the hearts makes us know that there is great success ahead for him. The Emanuel Forum held its second meeting at 4:30. There is no doubt that everyone present feels a much keener interest in race welfare, and a greater responsibility in the coming election. Mr. Harlem, our most efficient president, introduced the main speaker, E. A. Johnson, Harlem's candidate for Congress. In her introductory remarks, Mrs. Crawford spoke of the great statesmanship of Mr. Johnson and especially of his -responsibility in laying the New York Civil Rights Bill passed. Mr. Johnson was unusually interesting and instructive. There were a number of other short talks urging Negroes to stick together and vote for Negro leadership, by the Rev. Dr. E. H. Coit, secretary of Missions of the A. M. E., Church, Mrs. Parks, Myles Paige, Dr Julia P. H. Coleman and I. Lampkin. The next meeting of the Forum will be Sunday, October 14, at 1:30.

Johnson, on Thursday evening, September 20, at the Messiah Baptist Church in Yonkers. The beautiful wedding was attended by all of the staff members who were not prevented by evening duty at the branch. During this season of the year something new is beginning at the Branch almost every day and certainly every evening. The girls are coming back to clubs with zest and enthusiasm and are finding on the third, floor a newly decorated club room that cannot fail to delight them with its soft buff furniture bearing the blue insignia of the Girl Reserve Department. The business and industrial girls who have club meetings in the rose club room on the second floor came together Thursday night and excitement reigned. There was laughter and music and the sound of many jolly young voices and, along with all of it, plans were made for the fall opening and a new type of handicraft—painting on fabric—was demonstrated and tried out by many of the girls. Too many things are beginning in the Education Department to mention them all but the things of special interest are, perhaps, the brand new things! There is the Day School of Dressmaking and Designing which is really being run on the shop plan so that the girls learn to sew and get practical experience at the same time so they are ready for a job when they finish the course. There is a new worker in the department, also, a vocational counsellor, in the person of Miss, Oph- POSIT RAWAL S BANK York 148,150 Depositors this Shields, who is especially interested in finding openings for the girls who finish the trade and secretarial courses in the Branch.
