RUDOLPH BROWN FREE ON KIDNAPPING CHARGE
Rudolph Brown and Moe Schubert Charged With Holstein Kidnapping Win Freedom By Absence of Evidence
Chief Witness, Michael Bernstein, Jumped A $10,000 Bond To Keep From Testifying In Court Trial Against The Prisoners
When Rudolph Brown, 32, of 211 West 149th street, and Moe Monty Schubert, 30, of 1100 Whitlock avenue, The Bronx, were arraigned before Magistrate Francis X. McQuade in the 12th District Court, Washington Heights on Monday, October 1, charged with the kidnapping for a $50,000 ransom of Casper Holstein, wealthy Harlem business man and philanthropist, it developed that there was no direct evidence against the men and they were ordered discharged.
Because of the many threats which had been made against Brown, a Negro, who was charged with betraying Holstein, his friend, to the white men of the kidnapping gang, the police authorities took precautionary measures to prevent the room spotted with plain clothes men but, a number were stationed about the corridors and doors of the building.
which to hold the men, but the prosecutor acknowledged that none such was available. The dismissal followed.
The bringing of Brown into the kidnapping case stirred Harlem because it was charged that he used his friendship with Holstein as a means of learning of the latter's intended movements and of passing this information on to the grape sters. Brown is a well known character in Harlem, and has been act-
No Demonstration Made.
But although the friends and adherents of Mr. Holstein were present in large numbers both inside and outside of the court room, there was no visible demonstration against Brown. Following the disclosures of the 6th Division escorted both Brown and Schubert from the court room and took them in police cars, to their respective homes.
This gave rise to persistent rumors among the onlookers that Brown had been rearrested, and in all sections of the community.
The man who was looked upon by the police as the chief actor in the kidnapping, Michael Bernstein, who failed to appear in court for the first hearing on September 20, was still missing. When the case was first called, Bernstein's mother, who had been taken for a ride by four men who took him from her side as they were starting from home for court.
Bornstein Jumped Ball.
But since that time, Mrs. Bernstein has also disappeared and it is now thought that Bernstein has simply jumped his bail of $10,000 in that he was being held for trial so as not to testify against the others. It was Bernstein who was said to have gotten in-touch with Charles King, Holstein's confidential man, and made demands for payment of the sum demanded as evidence. What other evidence was in hand was said have been against Bernstein, and he it was who gave the officers the names of Brown and Schubert as accomplices "When the case was called, Monday morning, Attorney Leonard A. Snitkin, appearing for the accused men, demanded their discharge on the ground of no evidence, emphasizing the fact that Holstein had failed to identify any of the men as his captors. Holstein, who was held from Thursday night to Monday morning, had been tried at the prisoners at Police Headquarters, but had declared his inability to recognize either of them as having been connected with the gang that seized him.
Cases Are Dismissed.

The bringing of Brown into the kidnapping case stirred Harlem because it was charged that he used the police to mean the means of learning of the killer's intended movements and of passing this information on to the gangsters. Brown is a well known character in Harlem, and has been active in sporting circles for some time. He was manager of the new police station on Friday night of this week atop the Alhambra Theatre at 126th street and Seventh avenue. It was, the charger that Brown was, "spot man" for a cop-gang that stirred the indignation of Holstein's friends and led to threats of dire reprisal stifled by the police. Mr. Holstein attended the hearing, but made no comment upon the court's action.
$100 CASH PRIZES FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS' ESSAYS "America's 10th Man" Is Subject To Be Written On; 3 Prizes Given
Atlanta, Ga.—The Commission on Interracial Cooperation is offering to high school students three cash prizes aggregating $100 for the best papers on "America's Tenth Man" submitted on or before March, 1929. All high school or junior high school-pupils are eligible to enter papers in this competition.
The purpose of these prizes is to encourage as widely as possible the study of the Negro's part in American history. The Commission believes that such a study will be helpful to the children of both races, promoting more intelligent appreciation and sympathy on the one side, and developing a wholesome pride of race on the other.
The Commission earnestly asks the cooperation of high school principals and teachers and also invites correspondence from pupils who may be interested.

NEW YORK, N.Y., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1928
Nashville, Tenn.—In a conspicuous editorial entitled "Prevention of Lynchings," the Nashville Christian Advocate, official general organ of the Methodist Episcopal Church, highly commends the recently-enacted Virginia anti-lynch law which empowers the State to search for, arrest and punish lynchers.
"County officials may object to such a show of State authority," the Advocate says, "but the law is good. Something must be done in the name of the whole country when communities are found where juries refuse to convict lynchers, where grand juries will not bring indictments, where protests" through the pulpit and the press are the only deterents, morally ineffective.
No Defense For Lynching
"There is no defense of lynching and no excuse for communities where lynchers are allowed to go unsuoght and are immune from testimony and from conviction when testimony proves their guilty." The editor expresses the opinion that "if all the people in a community were as much opposed to mobs are the better class, there would be less lynching." There are lawless men who release their lyniry upon a victim there must be restraint upon them fixed by the strong arm of the government.
NANNIE BURROUGHS URGES SUPPORT OF HOOVER & CURTIS Warns Negro Not To Vote For Man Who Would Alter Constitution
NANNIE BURROUGHS URGES SUPPORT OF HOOVER & CURTIS Warns Negro Not To Vote For Man Who Would Alter Constitution
Washington, D. C.—In a printed statement, Miss Narnie Burroughs, founder and principal of the National Training School, located here, and one of the most prominent colored women in America, urged colored voters, throughout the country, to support the Hoover-Curtis ticket in the national election on November 6.
She warned them "not to vote any man in power who proposes to tamper with the Constitution of the United States," referring to Gov. Smith.
"The test in this campaign is a test of the strength of the Amendments to the Constitution. If the Eighteenth Amendment is not strong enough to stand—if we vote men into office who sanction its modification or annulment—we might as well sign the death certificates of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments," said Miss Burroughs.
"Do not vote any man into power who proposes to tamper with the Constitution of the United States and do not forget that the party which Governor Smith represents did not help to write your rights into the Constitution and it should not therefore be given an opportunity to be given them. No chain is stronger than its weakest link. If you vote to weaken the eighteenth link, you weaken or jeopardize all of the links."

Chairman Hawkins Declares In Talk Over Radio That Negro Should Have No Hesitancy In Voting For Hoover Asserts Policy of Democratic Party Has Ever Been Nullification of Negro's Right To The Franchise In Southern States
Dr. John R. Hawkins of Washington, secretary of finance of the A. M. E. Church, and chairman of the Colored Voters Division under the Republican National Committee in the Hoover-Curtis campaign, spoke over the radio from Station WABC on September 28 on the Presidential campaign.
Dr. Hawkins ranks, high as a financier. He is in full charge of the funds raised by his church for educational, missionary and charitable purposes, as well as of payments from the general expense funds. Seventy per cent of the church funds is through Dr. Hawkins' hands during each year. A half million dollars is paid out in pensions to retired ministers, and widows and orphans of deceased ministers.
The youngest bank in the District of Columbia, the Prudential Bank of Washington, was founded by Dr. Hawkins, who is its president. In his radio address, Dr. Hawkins said, speaking of the relative claim of the Republican and Democratic candidates.
Distranchised By South.
"In the southern states, where nineteenth of the Negroes live they are practically disfranchise because Discrimination rule. They have been driven from the polls and to persecuted as to make it even dangerous for Negroes to attempt to exercise this right. Consequently, we have no voice in the halls of the legislatures of the southern states.
"Every law of discrimination jimcowism and segregation, with reference to the community, life among Negroes is due largely to the discrimination of Negroes in the principles which militate against us simply on account of our racial connection. This is more far-reaching than many imagine."
No Reason For Heatancy
"But the question does not hinges so much on the individuality of these two men, but on what is represented in the principles and doctrines of parties which they represent. I see the world in their favor for hesitance on part of the Negro host support to the Republican party and to lend his aid for the election of Mr. Hoover as our next President. The right and privilege of citizenship is the highest privilege that can be given to any people. We certainly own this party. We represent party. What we have enjoyed under the Republican regime certainly outweighs that which has come to us under the Democratic party. No one will deny that in national affairs, the Democratic party is affairing with the South and the policy of the Democrats of the South has always been against the best interest of the Negro.
COLORED WOMEN'S
HOOVER-CURTIS
COMMITTEE MEETS
Six Harlem Districts
Are Represented At
Grace Church
The Colored Women's Hoover-Curtis Committee of Manhattan held its second meeting at Grace Congregational Church, 308 West 139th street, Thursday evening, September 27. Women were present from the 11th, 13th 17th, 19th, 21st and 22nd Assembly Districts.
The necessity for getting out the women for registration was stressed. Speakers for the evening were Mrs. George S. Williams, National Committeewoman from Georgia, and Col. West Hamilton, who is working with the Colored Division of the Republican National Committee with the veterans.
The following chairman were appointed: Membership, Mrs. Anna Sighther; Publicity, Mrs. Nettie Terry; Meetings, Mrs. Lulu Robinson Jones; Financial, Mrs. Nannie Reid; Contact, Mrs. Lucky Freeman, Miss Olivia Hunter acted as secretary.
The Colored Women's Hoover-Curtis Committee is especially interested in the disinterested woman and the first voter. A center has been opened at 139 West 135th street by the Women's Committee for Hoover, to which the women of Harlem are invited for information, instruction and literature. The Colored Women's Hoover-Curtis Committee will hold meetings every Thursday at 8 o'clock at Grace Congregational Church. The women of Harlem are cordially invited to attend these meetings and join this committee.
On Sunday, October 7, a meeting in the interest of registration will be held four at Mother Zion Community House to which the public is invited.
Disfranchised By South.
"In the southern states, where nineteenth of the Negroes live, they are practically disfranchised because of Democratic rule. They have been driven from the polls and so persecuted as to make it even dangerous for Negroes to attack them; we have twice woken in the halls of the legislatures of the southern states.
"Every law of discrimination, jim Crowism and segregation, with reference to the community... life among Negroes is due largely to the advocacy by Democrats of certain principles which militate against us simply on account of our racial connection. This is more far-reaching than many imagine, but should not be forgotten that Roe v. Wade represents the United States because of the untimely death of "President McKinley. It should not be overlooked that President Colidge came to the White House by reason of being Vice-President when Harding died. And it cannot be overlooked that should Mr. Smith be elected President and perchance anything should happen to him. Mr. Robinson would be the only white man whose bitterness and hatred of the Negro of the South is so pronounced that a fair, and square deal could not be expected from him."

ARKANSAS COURT REVERSES LOWER COURT DECISION Two Negro Boys Saved By Highest Tribunal From Unjust Conviction
Attorney Seipio A. Jones of Little Rock, Ark, has informed, the N. A. A. C. P. officials in New York City that the Arkansas Supreme Court has reversed the convictions of Robert Bell and Grady Swain, two N. A. boys, 14 and 18 years, respectively, who were under death sentence for the alleged murder of a white boy by drowning. Two white lawyers, W. J. Lanier and G. B. Scott, convinced of the boys' innocence, and that they had been subjected to inhuman treatment by the sheriff and prison guards, became interested in the case and appealed the convictions to the state's highest tribunal, with financial assistance being given by the N. A. A. C. P. It is believed that wiff the reversal by the Supreme Court the boys will be allowed to go free.
Police Commissioner Joseph A. Warren declared on Monday that there is no basis for the report that there would be wholesale raids of speakeasies.
The reports 'were circulated following statements that seemed to imply heavy drinking casualties over the weekend.
The Commissioner said that it is his policy to allow each Inspector to run his own district as long as no irregularity is shown. There has been no irregularity brought to his attention, he said, and official reports show nothing abnormal

Daytona, Beach. Fla.-Bethune Cookman College opened her doors for the twenty-fifth term of educational service at 11 o'clock, September 25, 1928, with formal exercises in the college auditorium.
Registration of students proved unexpectedly encouraging. Conditions in the State incident to the college, many catastrophes which have come to Florida within the past few years, and the economic conditions of the whole section, were, of such an unfavorable nature that the constitutency of the college feared a disastrous falling off in enrollment. It appears, however, that the boys and girls are determined to take advantage of the conditions offered for training and development at Bethune-Cookman. College, and despite these conditions, they have come. Students, are arriving on the campus on all trains and by motor, constantly. There is a larger enrollment, at this time than there has been for many years.
The opening exercises were well attended in the school of this city and surrounding cities, ministers and professional men, and members of the trustee and advisory boards.
President Bethune's greetings characterized her attitude to a joyous occasion. Dr. D. H Rutter, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Daytona Beach, for many years the member of the Trustees of the short talk, Mrs. C. M. Ranslow, president of the Ladies Advisory Board, was presented.
Dr. J. Seth Hills, member of the board of trustees, gave valuable advice
Greetings and encouraging remarks from Rev. W. O. Bartley, superintendent of the Atlantic District of the Episcopal Church, and Dr. A. G. Graham, were features of the opening.

OUR FOREIGN BORN VOTERS.
New York City is a haven for those of foreign birth who come to this country to better their conditions. A large part of the colored population were born under British rule in the West Indies, but have made America the land of their adoption. There is also a considerable contingent of Spanish speaking voters, mostly from Porto Rico and Cuba, who came here after the American occupation, because of economic reasons. Many of those who were former British subjects, have become naturalized and have the right to vote equally with native-born citizens. Others have refrained from doing so, for one reason or another.
Those foreign born residents who have failed to avail themselves of the full privileges of American citizenship, are doing themselves an injustice. As a class they are uniformly intelligent, progressive and assertive of their rights. And yet many of them neglect to secure the greatest right of an American citizen, the right to vote. Whether there is some real or fancied advantage in retaining their allegiance to King-George back of this is hard to tell. 'There must be some unexplained reason why so many of our foreign born residents fail to become naturalized citizens.
Naturalization is not such an intricate process as to deter the person of ordinary intelligence from qualifying. Declaration of intention, residence in this country for the necessary period, together with the attendance of the intending citizen and his witnesses before the Clerk of the United States court are part of the ordeal. At certain times, this may entail waiting in line and tedious delays, but not more than any other court proceeding. When the applicant gets his final papers, he has the satisfaction of knowing that he has a voice in the government under which he lives and helps to support.
Those members of our group who were born abroad, but have made New York their home, should not delay in becoming naturalized citizens. They have as much at stake in the community as others and they should be in a position to defend it by their votes.
NEW YORK STATE TICKET
While the Republican-State Convention which met at Syracuse last week did not nominate the candidates picked out by The Age, it named a ticket of unenviable strength in its general appeal to the voters. The candidate for Governor, Albert Ottinger of New York City, was elected-Attorney General at the same time that Smith was elected Governor, running ahead of the party associates and being the only Republican State officer elected that year. United States Attorney Charles H. Tuttle, whom The Age favored for Governor, in his speech nominating Mr. Ottinger, said:

The candidate for Governor, Albert Ottinger of New York City was elected-Attorney General at the same time that Smith was elected Governor, running ahead of the party associates and being the only Republican State officer elected that year. United States Attorney Charles H. Tuttle, whom The Age favored for Governor, in his speech nominating Mr. Ottinger, said:
"I nominate him for Governor because he will be a sign that the sacred bond of brotherhood which our American Constitution creates has always had and now its chancery has been beneath the banner of Lincoln, the Liberator, and which through the years has steadily fought the battle for emancipation from bondage, physical and social, and from oppression, and before the law, and from the pride and prejudice of race, 'creed, color and class.'"
Mr. Ottinger's record in office has been of consistent courage in enforcing the law against fraud and corruption, especially in behalf of innocent investors. He has shown himself conspicuously free from bias or discrimination on account of race or color, and has appointed one of our group as an assistant on his staff. Former Senator Charles C. Lockwood of Brooklyn was nominated for Lieutenant Governor, Harry B. Growley of Rochester, for Comptroller and Hamilton Ward of Buffalo for Attorney General, Irving G. Hubbs of Pulaski was named for Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals. Former Ambassador Alanson B. Houghton of Corning was nominated for United States Senator.
The ticket is as strong geographically as it is in the character and standing of
the men selected for office. Mr. Ottinger is a representative of the lower East Side of New York City, Senator Lockwood of Brooklyn, while the others come from up the State. Mr. Houghton was a member of Congress before he became ambassador to Germany and later to Great Britain. He presents a high type of ability and integrity fitting for membership in the upper branch of our national legislature. All in all, the Republicans have named a state ticket well worthy of support. The task before the party is to carry the State for Hoover, elect a Republican Governor, State ticket and Legislature and send to Washington a United States Senator, as well as Republican Representatives. Concerted effort and a full vote will be required to accomplish this result.
MUSSOLINI HAS A NIGHTMARE.
MUSSOLINI HAS A NIGHTMAKE.
Premier Benito Mussolini, the Strong Man of Italy, who made himself dictator through the organization of the black shirts, has proved himself a versatile individual. Besides having been a socialist and then the ally of the capitalists, he has written a mushy novel and developed a government which allows only its supporters the privilege of voting. His latest contribution to literature was an article written for the Italian press urging increased population in European countries. He deplored the dwindling birth rate in the large cities and issued a warning as to the consequences involved.
According to a United Press dispatch from Rome to the New York Sun, Mussolini spoke of the growing number of Negroes in the United States and warned the occidental white races that they are menaced by the black and yellow tide, because of their failure to increase their populations. What relation this increase of the colored population in the United States has to Italy's securing her place in the sun, as the former German Kaiser would put it, does not appear quite evident. Premier Mussolini must have been riding a bad nightmare, when he extended his vision across the Atlantic. Italy has long, sought to establish colonies in Africa and to dominate a portion of that continent as other European powers have done. But Abyssinia routed her armies and checked her advance in that direction. Now that Italy has granted Abyssinia an outlet to the sea through territory under her control, more peaceful methods of penetration may be pursued
Mussolini might do well to take pattern from the French in the matter of dealing with the darker races. Not that the French methods are free from guile and exploitation of the natives, but the French have a way of winning the allegiance of the conquered tribes by making them believe that when they recognize the power of the Republic they become Frenchmen and in France at least they are treated as such. The French dependencies in Africa and in the West Indies are accorded representation in the national legislature and constitute part of the national defence.
As for the increase of the Negro population in this country becoming a menace to occidental civilization, the iden is an absurdity. The African in this country during the past three hundred years has so fully absorbed and assimilated the white civilization surrounding him, that he knows no other. He has had the same kind of mental, physical and religious training, to a greater or less degree, and much of his African heritage has been lost. In the cities he has acquired the tastes and pursuits of his white neighbors and follows the baseball scores and the speaking movies with the same assiduity. In the country districts he runs a fliver and listens to the radio in the same way.
Premier Mussolini sounded his alarm still louder by saying, "the black and yellow races are now at our gates, not alone because of their fecundity but also because of their race consciousness and their dreams of the future." He referred to a slight disturbance in Harlem last July as a riot, "which after a whole night ofanguinary conflict, was finally controlled by the police." Even the Sun added a note to this reference, showing that the crowd attracted by an arrest was readily dispersed by the police reserves and only two arrests were made.
A United China and Russia's increase of population have evidently given Premier Mussolini a nightmare and he took it out on the United States by talking through his hat. Or maybe he has been reading Stoddard's "Rising Tide of Color" in an Italian translation.
WHISPERING AND MUD SLINGING
bigotry. As we have shown in previous issues, none of these attacks upon either candidate have been more vicious than those emanating from those white Southerners, one class of whom attack Mr. Hoover for his attitude of fairness toward the Negro, while another set denounce Governor Smith, because of his supposed friendly attitude based on the policy of Tammany Hall in New York City. Mr. Smith's record as Governor furnished no ground to support these stories, and his veto of the bill to provide a new municipal court in Hurlem was inimical to race interests and was patiently dictated by the subservience to Southern prejudice.
Notwithstanding Governor Smith's unfriendly attitude in this matter and his brusque treatment of the delegation that went to Albany to urge the passage of the measure, we have no sympathy with the attempt to defeat the Democratic candidate because of his religion or his opposition to the Eighteenth amendment. The stories describing him as a drunkard and the consort and champion of criminals are equally vicious and preposterous. As the New York World showed in its issue of last Sunday, libels of like character have been whispered about previous candidates for the Presidency from Washington to Roosevelt and a few of them got into print. Roosevelt carried one of these libelers into court and got a verdict against him.
One of the mildest examples of this campaign of bigotry and slander was a letter purporting to have been issued by a Republican National Committeewoman in West Virginia, on stationery of the National Committee, appealing to women to "save the United States from being Romanized." This is on a par with the statement made by one Southern opponent of Smith, that in the event of his election a Pope would be installed in every State to regulate the religion and morals of the inhabitants—making a total of forty-eight popes for this country. Mr. Hoover immediately put his foot down on this woman's attempt to raise a religious issue by saying:
"I cannot fully express my indignation at any suchcirculars. Nor can I reiterate too strongly that religious questions have no part in this campaign. I have repeatedly stated that neither I nor the Republican party want support on that basis."
There are important and vital reasons for the need for a central administration, but that is not one of them.
That is the right way to treat such exhibitions of religious, intolerance by stamping them out as soon as started. The same policy should be adopted in the matter of racial intolerance. There is no good reason why a candidate should be opposed because he has treated government employees without discrimination as to race or color. Nor should it be considered a crime, if a high state official had dictated his letters to a colored stenographer. The fact that such flimsy arguments, whether based on fact or fiction, are used by artful demagogs to win votes, is a stalling indictment of the intelligence of the American people. When the intelligence quotient of the nation is rated so low, it does not speak well for the future of representative government by the people.

RESCUE WORKERS IN FLORIDA
The tropical hurricane of a few weeks ago which wrought havoc and destruction in Porto Rico and Florida, was followed by tales of heroism among the rescue workers. A news dispatch from West Palm Beach quoted a Red Cross worker describing the condition as "worse than the worst battlefields in France. In France we had solid ground under us, at least most of the time." The article continued:

Those who have spent the last week searching for bodies say the task is almost unreachable. The heroism and fortitude of Negro workers especially is being praised. One of them, Sulele flen" Brown, has recovered eight bodies in a half-mad-search for the eight members of his own family who were missing
Another Negro, Henry Dukes, Gainesville Fla., truck driver, has driven his little truck to the heart of the section to West Palm Beach (mostly) on a day with little sleep bringing out our injuries in the refuge camp. Dukes refused to accept money for gas and oil.
Another Negro, Henry Dukes, Gainesville, Fla., truck driver, has driven his little truck from the heart of the section to West Palm Beach constantly for eight days, with little sleep bringing out survivors to refuge camp. Dukes refused to accept money for gas and oil.

This only goes to show that calm courage and fortitude are confined to no particular race and that in times of great disasters the Negro can be counted upon to do his share in affording relief. Those who are further removed from the scene of suffering have also helped by contributing to relief funds, the need for which has not yet ceased. This is especially true of Porto Rico, where the Red Cross is called upon to provide maintenance for half the population, until normal conditions shall be restored.
Let everybody give generously to the funds being raised for the hurricane sufferers.

Honolulu—Odds and Ends
By Mrs. MARTHA HILL BROWN
Wife of the Rev. James W. Brown
Pastor, Mother A. N. E. Zion Church
Honolulu has not changed; it sang, "Kyrie Eleison." Then, the progress has been unplanned, but unlike any other place, it has not sacrificed its ancient customs. The fine heritage of an outstanding race of old, as the price of progress. Its friendly spirit, its something apart, something entirely has one. Its flow of natural beauty—flowers to them are not blossoms, but passions. Mountain peaks, or "Pali" are impersonations of the deity. Clouds are "Arkansas" or Spirit, and are consulted as the Greek consult the Oracle. The sea is the great mother or "Maui Head." Where the sea holds one enthralled."
The consederation of the feast, as hundreds of children bowed in silent devotion. The sermon was a simply worded address in English on the childhood and Youth of Jesus. This Feast is held once a year. A Mass is in his forenamble on Saturday to 6 on Sunday afternoon where useful articles are sold. We had supper in a Chinese restaurant where our main dish was devil fish cooked in coconut oil, and then a spin to Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. This was the end of a perfect day.

The Unqual
It has been very interesting to watch the creeds and colors of many rains, living harmoniously on plantations, or in the cities, blending their garb language, religion and customs. Here, on the beach for miles, spooning parties in autos, every man attending to his own business. Here, morning glories bloom all day. Here beautiful bobbed hair men seem to like it, because the barber shops are never empty. Here, dog roasted in pits is a choice morsel. Here, Fish or Roy Day, when Chinese advertises a bobber by the number of paper fish on a tall pole. No race seem full.
Here, a polyglot of races, such as Japs, Chinese, Porto Ricans, French, Germans, British, Irish, theaters, American Here, Steamer Day is a gala day; the Hawaiian Band plays the National Hymn, and pretty Hawaiian girls sing Aloho Oe, and cool fresh air are thrown over your shoulders.
Here, raw fish is a favorite dish. Here, houses are built without chimneys, because only gas and electricity are used. Here, men go barefooted the entire year, and are often seen on veranda or street in their YDVs. Here boys run up fall coconut trees and throw muscular cocoatons filled with cooling milk.
Here, cows refuse to drink water, but lap it from the leaves and grass. Here, flower venders call at your door, and strolling musicians make the moonlight more beautiful. Here males dance. Here, the "Hula" is a rite—Hula girls are hired to entertain passengers on the trains.
Here, women wear fresh flower let on their hats to church, and men wear them always. Here, because the sun shines, the rain is out, the rain falls at the same time. The natives call it "liquid sunshine."
I feeling very romantic, strolled out in the "liquid sunshine," was soaked, and had to take a tapioca home. I call it plain rain now.
Here are no poisonous weeds, insects, sharks or snakes. Here houses are built of coral and grass. Here there is no tomorrow, no "Pillkair," or sorrow. Here is the end of the rainbow. It is wonderful to see it on the mountainside, or in your back yard, and on a moonlight night it is beautiful. Here is the ancient chanting of the meles.
Here—the bukilau or midnight fishing parties. Here, boys spend more time fishing and swimming than in any other sport, and have fine beautiful brown bodies. Here the street cars are never in a hurry and will wait a block for you. Here, the ginger flower is used as a perfume. The natives never wear jersey bottoms. Here is the lau or native feast, and so many other unusual things, it is impossible to ination.
Is Western Frontier
Hawaii, is America's strongest western frontier, and Pearl Harbor, its greatest naval base. Schofield Barracks, and Pearl Harbor are cities in themselves. We were the guest of Sergelt. E. Hawkins, retired and his wife, at the military review at Schofield Barracks, and Pearl Harbor. Dwight L. Davis, after a delightful drive through a ventable Garden of Fden, along the edges of deep cliffs, through coconut, guava and tree groves, over our head in tree tops the bind weed shook its feathery seed pod, and thousands of orchid hung like butterflies. A wonderful drive of 25 miles, and then the home of major and Mrs. Tripollett. Through their kindness we reviewed the parade from their cool veranda, a few feet from the hot grand stand. The divisions of the army passed the reviewing stand in beauty and perfection. When the flags passed, the National Yymm, including Wayward Sound in Dixie," was played by the band, there was mild enthusiasm.
But when the thirty big army planes snooped down in front of the grand stand and then soared with tremendous applause, we returned to the beautiful home of Sergeant and Mrs. Hawkins, and sat on the veranda, pull up the trees while waiting for dinner.
The Holy Ghost Feast
Another unusual event, was the Holy Ghost Feast. Leaving the Filipino Church, we went to the Portuguese Church to see the Holy Ghost Feast. Hundreds of children of all races dressed in white, wreathed in scarlet, and soaked in ashles. The boys were so brown relieved by shoulder sashes of papal yellow.

Bread Fruit
On our way to the beach one day, we saw a Hawaiian in brilliant yellow paren. On his shoulder was an "immense kooker or dish" with bread fruit. Bread fruit was brought into the island from Java by the Polynesians, who left India several centuries before Christ. As bread and meat is to us, so is bread and fruit, so is used at every meal, and on visiting a Hawaiian you are given a pot of pot to eat with your fingers. Some foreigners crave for it, but to me, it tastes like sour flower paste. The peasau and the pearls tend on the bread, so the Margarsian satisfies himself with poi. There are more than two hundred kinds, in different places. These tall trees furnish shade, lumber for houses and furniture, and bread fruit.

An Open Letter To All Interested In Florida Negroes' Present Need
An Open Letter To All Interested In Florida Negroes' Present Need
Editor of The New York Age.
Without a doubt, Florida Negroes, on the lower east Coast, which has been so devastated by the recent hurricane storm, are in dire need.
The call for help for those who were stricken was broadcast very widely, and we are happy to report that the members of the Negro branch of the American Red Cross in this city, and many other cities in the state, have literally "rolled up their sleeves," and they are working and solving funds, clothing and food, in order that our people in the West Palm Beach, Delray, Okeechobee and Everglades area may be given 'comfort' and assistance.
Ministers are making the appeal generally from the pulpits: Women's clubs and organizations, as well as males, and even school children, are little or much, according to their circumstances, to help those who are suffering.
As was reported to the public by me after my visit to West Palm Beach immediately after the storm, the American Red Cross is doing its best, both for the Negroes and the whites. But it is our duty to stand by our people, in giving them help in their special needs, beyond 'the general help which the Red Cross is able to give, want to request a assistance that we have already given, and to large those who have not given, to do so—make any possible sacrifice to do so.
We are appealing especially for the poor boys and girls who have been left absolutely destitute by this storm catastrophe. They must still be given training and development, and it is now a matter of impossibility for their parents—in the cases where their parents have been spared to them—to take care of any part of their expenses. In many, many cases, the parents do not have food for them. They nothing left for the institutions of the State to do but to take them in and care for them, and make an appeal to the public to help in the maintenance of them. Bethune-Cookman College, located on the East Coast, opened Septem
Commenting on the dropping of colored employees and the replacing of them by whites in many instances in Norfolk, the Norfolk Journal and Guide said among other things: It must not be assumed, however, that honesty, industry and efficiency will prove a sure-cure for this job loss our group is suffering.
There is an external factor that must be taken into consideration, and that is the attitude of the employing class. Lack of efficiency does not always dictate the change from colored to white help. Obviously a very natural sentiment is as often the controlling factor. This is the result of the lack of for or as deal with. We must not despair in the face of it however. We call the attention of Chambers of Commerce, Civic organizations and Municipal authorities whose membership constitute the employing class that as a part of the citizenship of this community, paying taxes directly or indirectly, spending ninety-nine percent of our earnings among local merchants, striving along with the rest of the community, materially and spiritually, we are morally entitled to a just proportion of our community's jobs.
It is inconceivable that there can ever be an appreciable measure of sustained prosperity in a community in which thirty-six per cent of the population is virtually reduced to economic sterility. Manufacturers and business firms which displace Negro workers where unnecessary are actually cutting off an economy of their own, for good wages and adequate opportunity to work among Negroes is a positive stimulant to good business
That is an appeal to self-interest that might be more effective than one based on higher ground.
"Asking the question, "What Is John Loomis of Virginia, gung to do in Liberia now that he has been appointed financial adviser to that little republic?" Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, writing in her "Ug to Date" column in the Chicago Defender, said:
That is indeed the question. Is he going to take, with him all the prejudices of his section and foist them upon: the citizens in favor of white people or is he going to fight fair? He has it in his power to do much harm or much good in the development of that little country which is bounded to have unlimited possibilities. There are many who believe that it will be possible to feel foothold among the nations. While the American Colonization society had the best of intentions when it decided to buy it and seize free people back to the continent from which their ancestors were criminally snatched, the fact remains that this land was practically stolen from the natives. For it was bought from African chiefs in 1847 for a summer load of illustrious artifacts in three buildings. In other words, the white people who bought Liberia conducted themselves as they often do in dealing with those who are not white. They do not hesitate to cheat them, whenever they can. A few years after the land was taken from the African chiefs, it was decided to the people (or who it was purchased and they established a republic similar to the one in this country. While they have been able to maintain their main they have conducted their affairs quite satisfactorily. Considering how little experience they have and how little they have had to work with they have succeeded as well as might have been expected.
It is remarkable how white men from the South are selected to exploit the dependencies of this country with a large colored population, where they often prove misfits.
The reported formation of a Negro Democrat club at Valdosta, caused the Atlanta Independent, of which B. J. Davis is editor to fulminate as follows.

her 25, for her twenty-fifth term of educational service. Despite the disastrous conditions, the enrollment in larger, at this time, than it has been for many years. The boys and girls are determined to have an education, and many of them have come in, anyway, even without money enough for their entrance fees. In view of theEXTENDED conditions, we cannot close the doors, because what we are feeling keenly the effects of this situation, and we, ourselves, have some help. I am asking those of you who are interested and wish to help, to secure or give scholarships for these young people, or part-scholarships, or donations toward their maintenance. Any kind of assistance will be appreciated. God has wonderfully blessed most of us with a great gratitude to Him can be expressed in our help to these young people of our race who can sadly need help at this time. Our State has a series of unfortunate recessions for the past three years, and our people are suffering from that, as well as from the recent storm conditions.
I feel that there are many who will help us, knowing of our real need for help.

the state denouncing the Republican party for permitting Negroes to vote, but his party is organizing Negro Al Smith Clubs throughout the country. It has not been many moons since the editor of the Valdosta Times was denouncing the Republican because it recognized Negroes in politics and now he takes up a wide column on the editorial page of the paper to announce to the world that Negroes have Gee Gee Al Smith Club of three Negroes bidding for cheap notorious. A democratic Negro is the only Negro that wants social equality. The little Al Smith Negro Club Valdosta does not rise to the dignity of a decent joke. Edjor Davis suggested that Senator Harris herald the message far and wide, "that the Democrats have opened wide their political church and are taking Negroes into full membership."
The following bits of Hosier tern, found in a recent issue of the iordanapolis Recorder, seemed worthy of reproduction:
An optimist is one who earns $2 a week and buys a $75 suit on credit. A pessimist is the man he buys a frighten. Very frequently rich parents make poor parents. What will become of our young pleo, too. A music teacher says jazz is dying. The sound indicates that it is dying hard. If movies cause all the wickedness today, what caused it in the old day when there were no movies? It sure would be fine for mother if she could collect time-and-a-half for overtime. Our ideal summer resort is one where fish bite and mosquitoes do not. Those who pride themselves on being hard-boiled are usually half-baked. If we ever have a universal language, it will be the one that money talks. All men are born free and equal but some of them grow up and get married. If original with, the journal in which they appeared, the Western contemporary is to be congratulated on possessing a pungent paragraph.
Writing "Between the Lines," in the St. Luke Herald of Richmond, Gordon Blaine Hancock gives the best argument for prohibition that he has heard, as follows:
Many years ago the writer was principal of a high school in South Carolina. There graduated a young man who later matriculated at a northern medical college. While sitting in the city where the college is located, our former pupil invited us to accompany him to his class in anatomy. With the permission of the professor in charge, we were admitted to the dissecting room. There were twelve bodies being dissected and we at once noticed that they were well used and stale. We asked the医生 who were not being used. The医生 said since prohibition came the bodies were scarier; for most of the bodies had to come from the poorhouse, and since prohibition was voted in, lower people died in the poor-house. If this explanation is true, it constitutes the most vigorous argument for prohibition it has been our fortune to hear.
Nevertheless, Mr. Hancock is not hopeful as to the practicality of all of the measure so far proposed to entforce prohibition, because as he says, "weaning human beings from the strong drink bottle is some job."
The Louisville Leader had an admonitory word to say about proper conduct in public car lines, which it did in the following stream.
Newspapers have a peculiar function, namely to criticize the conduct of people, both public and private. People should be strictly on this job, for reasons too apparent to mention.
Now, certain of our people have the ability of the boarding the cars and proceeding to entertain the passengers by talking loud, singing to the accompaniment of a bongo or guitar, or doing something else equally on or place. In their line they are good performers, as must be but the theater would be better omitted than presented. It helps neither the performer or his people on the car. It conjures up in the minds of certain folks visions of Jun Cun cars. It embarasses Negroes with better taste.
We are really glad that our people have talent, hummer, light hearts—and the sorry, but for the good name and best interest of the cars would like for the streets to be cars to desist. Perhaps they might secure employment at the Lincoln of the Gavety.
Then those folks who about their business, public, and private into the ears of the passengers—urging them to stop is good advice. The smiles they see are not smiles of approval. And if they could read the thoughts of the passengers, perhaps this editorial would be more interesting to those of you who can concern; let's ride on the car, and not perform on them. This is the heartwash of both the white and black street car riding public.
There was a delicate union directly performed, the only trouble being that it is not like a watch, the people who are most in need of such advice.
CHURCH ACTIVITIES N GREATER NEW YORK
After having preached a sermon one Sunday on "Capital Punishment" and the next on "Obedience to the Law," our pastor, the Rev. Dr. J. A. Robinson, preached on the subject of "Self-destruction, or Suicide."
He called attention to the alarming number of young people who yield to despair and ask to relieve their anxiety, their shame or even embarrassment by self-destruction. He maintained the mechanics of the 20th Century cannot satisfy the soils longing, the spirit's unrest and yearning for the living God. His text was taken from Palms 49:10-11.
Next Sunday morning Dr. Robinson will preach from the subject, The Community.
A soldier was rendered by Miss Ruby Green.
At the evening service, the Ladies Aid, Mrs. E. L. Bell, president, held a pew rally. The pastor took for his subject, "The Sower and the Seed."
St. Mark's people are enthusiastically supporting their hall rally effort. The plan is called a Pyramid and each member is asked to give 5 cents and to double their giving each week for 10 weeks. The lecture and banquet, with Miss W. Wheeler, Chappell as speaker was a fine success. Class 25, with Mrs. Pearl Barber as chairman, set a precedent in a fine social and educational evening.
The pastor attended the funeral of the Rev. Dr. H. J. Wright, a retired minister of the Louisiana Conference, who lived at 207 West 131st street, with his daughter, Miss Mayne Wright, on Friday, September 28. He was the father of Dr. T. H. Wright of Newark, N. J. The revival was taken to Alexandria, LA., for burial.
Class 10, George R. Jackson, leader, holds the banner this week.
Grace Church of Harlem
In spite of the rainy morning a large percentage of the congregation was out to hear their pastor, Dr. A. C. Garner, in his first sermon since his return from camp.
Dr. Garner preached a forceful sermon from Judges 9:15. The lesson taught was that so many of us in the higher walks of life are too apt to hold an exalted opinion of ourselves and are prone to crush the man in the lower walks of life and the God sometimes punishes the exalted ones, through sorrow and troubles, by bringing him to a humble opinion of himself. Dr. Garner also, spoke on the present political crisis.
The pastor and the church secretary, Mrs. Elizabeth H. Davis, attended the "Dismissal Council" of the Rev. Dr. Reed of the Flatbush Avenue Congregational Church in Brooklyn, on Thursday, September 27, at 4 p.m., the pastor as a member and the secretary as a delegate of the "Council." The meeting was a most interesting one and the resignation of Dr. Reed was accepted with address of the position of appreciation and regret. The resignation took effect October 1. Dr. Reed leaves to accept the position of executive secretary of the Congregational Board.
Miss Amelia Evandine Douglas and John Augustus Richards were united in the holy bonds of matriarchy by the pastor, Saturday evening at 9 p.m. The last vesper service of the season was well attended. After the usual prayer and praise service by W. Herbert King, Lemuel Foster gave a talk on "Spirituals" and also sang a number in a most pleasing program that was much enjoyed by those present. Ms Amelia Cannon gave a violin solo, accompanied on the piano by her mother, Mrs. Alma Cannon. Next Sunday evening the regular prayer service will begin at 8 p.m. Dr. A. C. Garner will preach. Mid-week prayer service on Wednesday evening at 8:30 o'clock.
Salem M. E. Church
Sunday was a big day at Salem Church, Dr. Cullen preached a telling sermon on "Working For Jesus," at the morning service. The sermon service was given over to a testimonial to Rev. Joseph Hill, assistant to Dr. Cullen, who will depart this week for Gammon, Theological Seminary, where he will prepare for the ministry.
"Bringing Forth Fruit" was the theme of Dr. Cullen's discourse, in which he exhorted the worshippers to love and care for more versatile lives. He reminded it is bringing forth fruit—either working for God, or against Him.
The Men's Bible Class followed directly after the morning service and was instructed by Rev. William Meyers.
The Metropolitan Literary Society of Metropolitan Baptist Church presented a program at the Lyceum in keeping with the custom of the two organizations of exchanging good will program occasionally. The program included musical numbers and readings by members of the society. A short talk on Culture, or Character, was also made by one of the members. Miss Barnwell, the newly elected president, was in charge. Mrs. Nannie Taylor made her welcoming address.
The senior department of the League had for their discussion the topic "Eyes Frontal Cues in Christian Living." The choice, by George Simmons, contributed several numbers. Miss Elizabeth presided.
"Ingatitude, one of the most popular sins of today" was what Rev. Hill spoke about in his farewell sermon at the evening service. In the course of his, sermon Rev. Hill spoke of his gratitude to Dr. Cullen and the people of Salem Church for their spiritual and manly help given him while laboring in the church and since he has decided to leave for college.
Before the close of the service Dr. Cullen on several leaders and officers who work in glowing terms of Brother Hill's work as a young man and a Christian's centre membership contributed to a fund which is to help him in his schooling and several organizations made individual presentations.
Bro Hill was leader of Class-9, which has now been turned over to Isaac Robinson and James Howell. He also organized and worked, with the clubs besides teaching in the Sunday school and assisted with the work among the young people. Rev. Hill leaves for Atlanta, Ga., Friday morning. Dr. Cullen has been the inspiration of several young men going out from Salem Church to study for the ministry, some of whom are now prominent successes in their ministerial careers. Sunday, October 7, Dr. Lorenzo King, King of the Southwestern Christian, Advocate, will address a special group of young people at the Lyceum.
Paradise Baptist Church
"Regardless of the rainy weather Sunday morning the Sunday school turned out at 9:45 with their hearts ready to work for the Master. At 11 a. m., the Rev. H. W. Stanley delivered a burning message from the 7th chapter of St. Matthew, 6 verse: "Do not cast your pearls before swine." Jesus said: "do not give your pearls to swine, otherwise your pearls will then under their feet and the attack them." Some people think it is necessary to answer all question put to them relating to religion, but if the question does not put your answer into action for the uplifting of humanity, then you have cast your pearls before swine. At the evening hour Rev. Stanley chose as his subject "Be A. Crosse Bearer" St. Matthew 10:38. He mentioned the qualifications of a wonderful character exemplified in the life of Christ the cross that He bore was a headlight to the world. His sermon was uplifting and penetrating.
At the close of the service, the Rev. W. M. Johnson, a follower of the cross for many years, inspired our hearts with a short talk of what we have received from carrying his cross, and the thought that if he will endure to the end he will receive a crown of life, as promised.
Union Baptist Church
Last Friday evening we closed the union services of our church and the Little M. Zion Baptist Church. The services were well attended. There was a splendid spirit of fellowship between the two churches. The Sunday school was not well attended, owing to the weather. He rented the chair rendered excellent service by the song. The ceremony was delivered by Dr. Vernon John, director of Religious Education. He spoke about "Three Experiences With God." This was a very instructive and helpful message. The missionary service was in charge of the juniors. The B. Y. U. had an interesting session. At 8 p.m., our pastor was with us. He preached at 11 a.m. in the great Metropolitan Baptist Church in Washington, D. C. of which Dr. C. Smith is the pastor. His subject was "Blessing was Nnaman's Five Mistakes." Two united with the church. Offering amounted to $602.66. We are preparing for our ~30th anniversary and 3rd dedicatory services, which will begin October 21.
Mt. Olivet Baptist Church
There was a large attendance at the morning service at Mount O'Veet Baptist Church, Sunday, September 30. The pastor, Rev. W. P. Heyes, chose his text, from 1st Chronicles 19th chapter, 12th verse, "And he said, if the Syrians be too strong for me then thou shall help me"; but if the children of Ammon he too strong for thee, then I will help thee."
Some of the outstanding points in his sermon were; no movement has ever been able to succeed without enthusiasm; sacrifice before recognition; goodness is not contended for unarmed religion; it impossible for arm to live into himself; that men are mutually dependent the one upon the other, and that one cannot accomplish multiplication by division. The theme of the whole discourse was "help each other," which was touching in its anecdal.
The evening service was well attended. Dr. J. D. Eust, who spent 11 years as missionary in Africti, spoke concerning the five boarding-schools at and near Liberia before presenting Miss Sarah C. William-Hawkins, also at Liberia, West Africa. Her discourse centered around John 10:16, "And other sheep I have, which age not of this fold; them also I must bring and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd."
She spoke of the fact that Mo-

memoriamism is...swearing Africa and that the teaching of Jesus is hard and slow work. Her description of the ignorance, diseased bodily, unanitary living, the belief in witchcraft, and the great change when the light reaches them concerning Jesus Christ, was 'pillful and very touching. When she told how she prayed for a little vaseoline or Vicks salve, it made us feel quite ashamed of ourselves for our slothfulness, in sending supplies. She also spoke of the high quality of alert minds found in Africa, showing all is needed is a chance.
It is indeed a lesson in sacrifice, when one looks upon Miss AVHISMAN son who is quite a young lady, pretty, well educated and seems to have every advantage in personality, and know she 'has gone into the darkest regions of Africa from village to village, through forests, through bridges streams, even sometimes after dark, to carry gospel and civilization to our benighted brethren. Some of us learned much from her address, especially the fact that the only way we can enter our own nature is through Liberia, by the white man, is through Liberia, who is spending all its energy to keep foothold on African soil, independently. While there are highly cultured natives in Liberia who live well, what of the natives of the interior? Collection, for the day was $967-40. Of this, amount $115.50 was given to foreign mission.
Emanuel A. M. E. Church
In spite of the stormy weather, there was splendid attendance all day at Emanuel. At the morning service the pastor spoke from the subject "A Man Sent from God." He pictured clear-

St. Paul Bapt. Church
The church during the past week took on the appearance of a machine shop. Throughout the week, the different organizations, with different men and women made thing shout around our new edifice. All this was being done in preparation for the dedicatory services of the church, which began Monday night, October 1, Home Cemetery Night, as the first time the community committee Monday there were a committee meeting in the study of the pastor's home and rehearsal by the Sunday school people of the play, Aunt Dinah's "Quilting Party," choir out to rehearse, all looking forward to the use of the new pipe organ for the first time Sunday.
Wednesday night the B. Y. P. U. was omitted because of the first public monthly meeting of the Reception held in the church, with many of the pastors present, accompanied by their people. Dr. Vernon Johns director of the Center, was the speaker on the occasion, and, as an indication of the interest, we need to have a book on the subject from Philadelphia. This work of the fall in the Center starts off suspiciously.
Thursday night "Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party, under direction of the Booker, was given for the Sunday lecture, room filled with people. Friday night the Prayer service was conducted by the sisters, as
the 'brehren' were 'were' busy putting
the 'brehren' on the cover, by
arranging, the new tables.
Sunday at 11 a. m. Dr. Charles H. Sears, secretary of the City. Baptist Mission. Society, was the preacher. He came early to get a look at the new edifice. He expressed himself as delightful in the church house, and then preached a masterly sermon to a large congregation. The rain interfered somewhat with the attendance. In the afternoon Dr. John W. Saunders, pastor of Walker Memorial Baptist Church, with his robed chair, officers, and many of his members, were present. He reached a great sermon, his chair also rendered splendid service in their contributions. Sister Frances. Quinn, president of the Naomi Club, was full of smiles and good words, because of the success of this effort. In the evening the pastor, having been half sick through the fever and spoke as best he could on "The Power of United Prayer." The auxiliaries reported their special offerings, which amounted to somewhat over $1,000.

Siloam Presbyterian Church
Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor, in keeping with Religious Education Week, took his text for the morning hour of worship at Siham from Mark 8:18. In his discourse he brought out a flight of the hour was a protest against traditionalism, that the world is indicted to the few people who are called pioneers. Christian should be confined only to following the footsteps of Jesus Christ, pioneer. The whole of life is a school, our contacts and experiences are our schoolmasters Christ calls to noble, aggressive life. The religion of Jesus Christ helps to keep the world safe, helps to have the consciousness of God at all times and under all conditions, keeps one fit, strong and brave.
In closing, the pastor emphasized and urged the necessity of each and everyone, young and old; having a reverence for God and for a holy life and to never let that reverence fade out, and to have a keen sense of what is good and bad within us, and further to conserve ourselves to grow in knowledge and grace of God and in a tendering heart and refining mind.
The Bible school met in general session at 1:15 p. m. Pupils of the school are looking forward to Pro

Concord Baptist Church
Sunday morning in the Church school was different, due to the fact that all departments above the junior met together under the teaching of Superintendent Cooper. The Sunday school is entering the context for a 50 per cent increase in membership, being sponsored by the Brooklyn S. S. Union. The morning worship, Rev. James Adams, appointed the end of a series of practical nationalistic and racialistic cermons, prefacing the final one on Smith, scheduled for the second Sunday evening.
His plea for funds for a young woman student, who needs help to complete her education met with a hearty $50 response. Rev. Adams stated that although scholarships are splendid they do not meet a need of this type where, the student is overworked to the extent that the ability to fill scholarship requirements is beyond her strength; but a little timely assistance may save her entire future.
"The Christ, a Mystery" was the subject of a colorful sermon by Rev. Daniel Reid of Matawan, N. J., at the evening service. The pastor baptized four persons, two of them girls in their teens. A fairly large attendance at the P. P. P. J. discussed the subject of "Universal Fellowship," in world terms, and heartily in learning a new hymn. The Girls' Scouts opened their fall meetings on Monday afternoon with a large group and the browniest of an overflow for the winter.
Nazarene Cong. Church
The Rev. Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor pressed at the morning hour on "The Progressive Christian," and at the evening time he completed his series of sermons on "Famous Friends of Freedom," telling of the great work of Henry Ward Beecher for liberty.

Next Sunday is Home Coming Day ii Nazeafae, when all departments will open in earnest for the fall and winter season. At the morning hour, Dr. Proctor will speak on "The Home Instinct of the Soul."

HOWARD ELEVEN BEGINS PRACTICE WITH NEW COACH Fifty Men Out For Varsity; Must Build Entirely New Line
Washington, D. C.—Pre-season football practice is in full swing at Howard University where much interest centers about the new system and style of play being introduced by the new Coach, Charlie West, former Washington and Jefferson star. Fifty men have reported for the early tryouts, all in the best of spirit and for the most part in good physical condition. The squad contains a wealth of material, both old and new.
Coach West is confronted with the problem of building an entirely new line, of new material and old men shifted to new positions. In the backfield, while he has the advantage of several experienced men, the new style of play gives equal opportunity to every contender. The coach has the advantage of knowing the ability of most of the old men gained through two years' experience as assistant to Coach Watson. From the very start, however, he has insisted that no position is "cinched" by reason of past performance, and that every man will have to fight desperately for a place in the line-up.
Nine Letter Men Report
Nine letter men have reported.
These include Captain "Hoss" Ross, "Jack" Cole, "Dan" Brown and Payne in the backfield, while Hawkins and Webb are out for the line. "Jack" Young has reported but has not begun practice because of playground employment "Pete" Tyson observes daily drills, although an injury received in the Francis Junior High School Swimming Pool prevents active practice. Sallie, left end of 1926, has also reported, but because one work has not been able to begin practice.
Two Bast hit—Mason Home runs—Lloyd and Hubbard. Strikeouts—Jackman 5. Campbell 5. and Thomas 1. Bases on balls—Off Jackman 3. off Campbell 6. Umpire—Connell.

Orangeburg, S. C.—A large reported to Coaches Smith, James and Chandler on the first day of football practice last week.

Smith University at Orangeburg; November 23, A. & T. College at Orangeburg; November 29, Allen University at Columbia
Talladega Adds Two To Its Athetic Staff
Talladega, Ala.-Talladega in extending its athletic department has added two members to its staff. Miss Mary Blalack will direct the physical education for women. Miss Blalack comes from Harrisburg, Pa. Director Kindle will be assisted by Theodore ("Ted") Wright. Wright, while new in the Southeastern Conference, has had a wide range of experience as player and coach While at Baker University, Wright was one of the best broken field runners in the Kansas Conference.
With the separation of high school and college athletics, Talladega's athletes will be playing under regulations, comparing with those of the leading Eastern universities. This marks a pioneer step in the Southeastern Conference where the one-year residence rule was adopted last year. Talladega's teams will be made up of college men with the exception of high school men who have made their letters. These letter men may play during the present year but those not reaching college rank by next September will be relegated to the high school or dropped from active competition.
The high school gridders will be under Coaches Talbot and Hamilton. Harry ("Big Hampi") Hamilton was captain of the Crimson Tornado last season Talbot spent the summer at the coaching school of the University of Pittsburgh
Coaches Kindle and Wright are pleased with the ability of the new men, as well as the return of the following letter men: Capt Baker, Pearson, James, Simmons, Hutchins, McClenney, Page, Fews, Walker, Askew and Douglas.
"No Other Woman" At The Roosevelt Theatre
How do you approach a door? The door of your sweetheart's home for instance?
There is all the difference in the world the way a hero and a "heavy" open a door, according to Don Alvarado who made this discovery during the filming of "No Other Woman," Lou Tellegen's production for Fox Films, coming to the Roosevelt Theatre
"Utterly unlike the mental attitude of two such characters," said Alvarado recently "The 'heavy' is governed with ideas of his own gain, cost what it may to the other person. He is accustomed to taking a long chance. If he loses he can try his luck elsewhere
In "The Mysterious Lady" which comes to the Douglas Theatre, Greta Garbo brings fresh triumphs to the screen.
For the new Metro Goldwyn Mayer feature production the exotic film star achieves new heights in character delineation and again demonstrates her ability to surround an unusually unresponsive role with sympathy.
As the beautiful Russian spy in this gripping drama of European military intrigue Mrs. Garbo plays the downfall in a congenial enemy of her who has become enamored of hat.

125th street, which has long resisted the invasion of. Negroes in that neighborhood, will soon have the only theatre in New York named for Negro performers and operated under Negro supervision. It is the new Drake and Walker Theatre, formerly the Apollo, located on 125th street near Seventh avenue. Henry Drake and Ethel Walker, who traveled throughout the country as a vaudeville team, and later as the head of their own musical comedy company, are the lessees of the theatre and on October 8, they will produce their first show in their own theatre. It will be a full length musical comedy—a two hour show, in which Drake and Walker and their hand will be featured. Several well known performers have also joined their company.
The Apollo, formerly a burlesque house, is one of the largest theatre in uptown New York, with a seating capacity of 2,600. It is being entirely renovated and when it reopens the entire staff, with the exception of the manager, will be colored.
Phil Berg, who for the past eight years was booking agent and manager of the Drake and Walker road shows, has been retained as manager of the new theatre. According to a statement given the press by Mr Berg, the policy of the house will be straight musical shows of the better grade. The prices of admission will be 15, 25 and 35 cents in the afternoon, and 25, 35 and 50 cents at night.
"Deep Harlem" Draws At Lafayette Theatre
Earl Dancer's "Deep Harlem" proved a sensation at its opening matinee at the Lafayette Theatre Monday unfortunately the bookings of the Lafayette presents the show from being held over.

The story traces the history from their ancient tribal home through several generations which brance them to Harlem and in front of the most famous place in Harlem - this Lafayette Theatre
By far the most impressive and imposing scenes which have ever been staged in a local theatre are part of "Deep Harlem". Among these scenes are the ancient forest home of the Kushite tribe and and desert encampment which this tribe is driven by heartless slave drivers, a convict shin, a southern plantation, a convict farm, a popular Harlem gin mill—and the Lafayette Theatre.

Lew Leslie To Send Out Second "Blackbirds" Co.
Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928." an apparent failure when first produced at the Liberty, i not only going to move from the Liberty to the Elfinge, October 15, but a second company of this revue is to take to the road at that time, with an opening in Boston. It seems that the Liberty, not anticipating the long run of the revue last July booked Channing Pollock's play "Mr. Moneypenny" for October 17, and Mr. Leslie determined to send the revue on the road. Since then the success of the piece has determined him to have two companies.
With the opening Friday night, October 5, of the Alhambra Ballroom, atop the Alhambra Theatre building at 129th street and Seventh avenue, Harlem can boast another fine ballroom, suitable for private receptions, athletic contests or public balls.
The Alhambra Ballroom was completely remodeled and redecorated by a staff of Negro mechanics, under direction of "Baltimore" Sewell. It is being opened with an all colored staff headed by Charles, H. Anderson, manager, and Herbert Johnson, assistant. Mr. Anderson has long been identified with dancing and the stage in Harlem, ad at one time conducted a dancing studio on Lenox avenue.
The ball-room itself is more elaborate than any in uptown New York. There is a regular stage at one end, with dressing rooms and other modern conveniences, and at the other and the sides is a raised platform and balcony, with boxes for spectators. The dance floor itself is large enough for a basketball court and the ceiling is so high that this will become a popular headquarters for this indoor sport. Two orchestras, the Swanee Ramblers and Bill Brown and His Brownies, have been engaged to furnish music, and a number of hostesses have been engaged to dance with the unescorted males who may visit the place.

HOWARD ELEVEN BEGINS PRACTICE WITH NEW COACH Fifty Men Out For Varsity; Must Build Entirely New Line
Washington, D. C.—Pre-season football practice is in full swing at Howard University where much interest centers about the new system and style of play being introduced by the new coach, Charlie West, forgier Washington and Jefferson star. Fifty men have reported for the early tryouts, all in the best of spirit and for the most part in good physical condition. The squad contains a wealth of material, both old and new.
Coach West is confronted with the problem of building an entirely new line of new material and old men shifted to new positions. In the backfield, while he has the advantage of several experienced men, the new style of play gives equal opportunity to every contender. The coach has the advantage of knowing the ability of most of the old men gained through two years' experience as assistant to Coach Watson. From the very start, however, he has insisted that no position is "cunched" by reason of past performance, and that every man will have to fight desperately for a place in the line-up.
Nine Letter Men Report
Nine letter men have reported.
These include Captain "Hoss"
Ross, "Jack" Cole, "Dan" Brown
and Payne in the backfield, while
Hawkins and Webb are out for
the line. "Jack" Young has reported
but has not begun practice because
of playground employment "Peter"
Tyson observes daily drills,
although an injury received in the
Friars Junior High School Swimming Pool prevents active practice.
Sallie, left end of 1926, has also reported, but because no work has not been able to begin practice.

To Its Athletic Staff
Talladega, Ala.—Talladega in extending its athletic department has added two members to its staff. Miss Mary Blalack will direct the physical education for women. Miss Blalack comes from Harrisburg, Pa. Director Kindle will be assisted by Theodore ("Ted") Wright Wright, while new in the Southeastern Conference, has had a wide range of experience as player and coach While at Baker University, Wright was one of the best broken field runners in the Kansas Conference
With the separation of high school and college athletics, Talladega's athletes will be playing under regulations comparing with those of the leading, Eastern universities. This marks a pioneer step in the Southeastern Conference where the one-year residence rule was adopted last year. Talladega's teams will be made up of college men with the exception of high school men who have made their letters. These letter men may play during the present year but those not reaching college rank by next September will be relegated to the high school or dropped from active competition. The high school gridders will be under Coaches Talbot and Hamilton Harry ("Big Hamp") Hamilton was captain of the Crimson Tornado last season Talbot spent the summer at the coaching school of the University of Pittsburgh
Coachy Kindie and Wright are pleased with the ability of the new men, as well as the return of the following letter men: Capt Baker, Pearson, James 'Simmons' Hutchins, McClenney Page, Pews, Walker, Askew and Douglas
"No Other Woman" At The Roosevelt Theatre
How do you approach a door? The door of your sweetheart's home for instance?
There is all the difference in the world the way a hare and a "heavy" open a door, according to Don Alvarado who made this discovery during the filming of "No! Other Woman," Lou Tellegen's production for Fox Films, coming to the Roosevelt Theatre.
"Utterly unlike the mental attitude of two such characters," said Alvarado recently. "The 'heavy' is governed with ideas of his own gain, cost what it may to the other person. He is accustomed to taking a long chance. If he loses he can try his luck elsewhere.
"The Mysterious Lady"
At The Douglas Theatre
In "The Mysterious Lady" which comes to the Douglas Theatre, Greta Garbo brings fresh triumphs to the screen. For the new Metro Goldwyn Mayer feature production the exotic film star achieves new heights in character delineation and again demonstrates her ability to surround an unusually unreponsive role with sympathy. As the beautiful Russian spy in the gripping drama of European military intrigue, Mrs. Garbo plots the demeanor of a young emperor who has become enamored of her.

125th street, which has long resisted the invasion of Négroes in that neighborhood, will soon have the only theatre in New York named for Negro performers and operated under Negro supervision. It is the new Drake and Walker Theatre, formerly the Apollo, located on 125th street near Seventh avenue. Henry Drake and Ethel Walker, who traveled throughout the country as a vaudeville team, and later as the head of their own musical comedy company, are the lessees of the theatre and on October 8 they will produce their first show in their own theatre. It will be a full length musical comedy—a two hour show, in which Drake and Walker and their hand will be featured. Several well known performers have also joined their company.
The Apollo, formerly a burlesque house, is one of the largest theatre in uptown New York, with a seating capacity of 2,600. It is being entirely renovated and when it reopens the entire staff, with the exception of the manager, will be colored.
Phil Berg, who for the past eight years was booking agent and manager of the Drake and Walker road shows, has been retained as manager of the new theatre. According to a statement given the press by Mr. Berg, the policy of the house will be straight musical shows of the better grade. The prices of admission will be 15, 25 and 35 cents in the afternoon, and 25, 35 and 50 cents at night.
"Deep Harlem" Draws At Lafayette Theatre
Earl Dancer's "Deep Harlem" proved a sensation at its opening matinee at the Lafayette Theatre Monday unfortunately the bookings of the Lafayette prevents the show from being held over. The reception which it received from the audience would justify an extended run "Deep Harlem" is presented in ten spectacular scenes. It is the story of a famous Kushite tribe. The story traces the history from their ancient tribal home through several generations which, brings them to Harlem and in front of the most famous place in Harlem the Lafayette Theatre
By far the most impressive and imposing scenes which have ever been staged in a local theatre are part of "Deep Harlem." Among these scenes are the ancient forest home of the Kushite tribe and amid desert encampment to which this tribe is driven by heartless slave drivers, a convict skin, a southern plantation, a convict farm, a popular Harlem gin mill—and the Lafayette Theatre.
An unusually large cast is presenting "Deep Harlem." There are seventy-five entertainers on all, including Salem Tutt Whitney I, Homer Tutt, Mable Ridley, Grant Sterling Doe Doe Green E, Pugh Pearl Darrrell, Creele Four, Northern Brothers, Pearl McComark, Louis Cole, Harry Mass, Charles Willis, Mire Gorgas and Howard Elmore.

With the opening Friday night, October 5, of the Alhambra Ballroom, atop the Alhambra Theatre building at 120th street and Seventh avenue, Harlem can boast another fine ballroom, suitable for private receptions, athletic contests or public balls.
The Alhambra Ballroom was completely remodeled and redecorated by a staff of Negro mechanics, under direction of "Baltimore" Sewell. It is being opened with an all colored staff headed by Charles H. Anderson, manager, and Herbert Johnson, assistant. Mr. Anderson has long been identified with dancing and the stage in Harlem, ad at one, time conducted a dancing studio on Lenox avenue.
The ball-room itself is more elaborate than any in untown New York. There is a regular stage at one end, with dressing rooms and other modern conveniences, and at the other and the sides is a raised platform and balcony, with boxes for spectators. The dance floor itself is large enough for a basketball court and the ceiling is so high that this will become a popular headquarters for this indoor sport. Two orchestras, the Swanee Ramblers and Bill Brown and His Brownies, have been engaged to furnish music, and a number of hostesses have been engaged to dance with the unescorted males who may visit the place.

M-TEE MONARCH 45 BAND APPEARSIN
FIRST SUNDAY AFTERNOON CONCERT:AT
JUNIOR HIGH: CARROLL CLARK SINGS
NTR ake eat cdl eee oar ees fe =
the Mi-Tee Monarch Band, Lieut. Fred W. Simpson, directot, ap-
peared in its first Sunday afternoon concert of the 1928-29 season on
_ September 30 in the auditorium of the Girls’ Junior High+ School,
[3th street and Edgecombe avenue, before an audience that, small in
sumbers, evinced the most enthusiastic appreciation of the splendid
work of this group of musicians, | :
For this injtial offering, Lieut. Simpson presented a program of!
dnersified interest, with an appeal to the musicianly erudite as well
4 to the musically unsophisticatéd, . Perhaps the most striking fea-
ture of the program was the Unfinished Symphony in B Minor by
Sebubert, which ranges the entrie gamut ‘of musical expression, with
its poignantly beautiful theme that is heard from one, then from
another of the instrmnental choirs. * ‘
‘As ras been said before in this colunin, there has been developed by
Lieut, Simpson a collection of reed and wood instrumentalists that is
sf comparable merit, ‘Through the superb accomplishment of this
“group of players, it is possible for Monarch Band to gssay the inter-
pretation of Works that hitherto have only been heard when played by
* the big symphonic organizations with large and capable string choirs,
and so the audiences at these free Sunday afternoon recitals are doubly
privileged, for Motlarch plays also the compositions specially adapted
* to a brass band with meticulous aptitude and vivacious abandon.
Following “The Star Spangled Banner,” the band swung into its
aiternaon’s discoursing with a spirited rendition of the March et Cor-
tege from Gounod’s “La Reine de Saba", (“Queen of Sheba"), and this
was followed by Rossini’s “Barber of Seville” Overture, “A distinct
contrast was shown in the delicacy with which the dainty Serenade,
Souvenir” by. Drdla; and the Menuet in G by Beethoven,’ were! rend-
ered . :
‘A medley which included many old favorites from the late Vie-
tor Herbert's popular compositions was enjoyed, and then Alderman
Fred R Moore, who is treasurer of the Mi-Tee Monarch 43 Band
‘Summer Concert Fund, was'introduced by Dr. Lawrence J. Davenport.
master of ceremonies, whose interesting and enlightening synopsis
preceding each number was onc. of the most interesting and valuable
offerings of the afternoon.
Mr, Moore made a strong appeal to the people present to support
the effort of Lieut, Simpson and his bandsmen to furnish service to
the community through thest free musical renditions, and urged upon
them the civic duty of contributing to the fund, .
As the Alderman concluded his stirring specch, and turned to de-
scend from the stage, he was stopped by Dr. Davenport, who, in a
few well chosen and apt remarks. recited the band’s appreciation of
the interest exhibited in its efforts by Alderman Moore, and the work
he has done in helping the organization to become a vital factor-in
community development, and then, Gn behalf of Iacut Simpson and
the, band, presented Alderinan Moore with a handsome silver recep-
tacle, bearing the following inscription:
“Presented To oe
. “Hon. FRED R. MOORE ts
“By Monarch Band, No. 45, 1. B. P. QL E. of W..
“Lieut. Fred W. Simpson :
s “Director
p “September 36, 1928."
‘Taken completely by surprise, Alderman Moore was at a lors for]
a few moments, but he quickly recovered and gave eloquent cxpres-
sion to his appreciation of the kindly act. °
Resuming the musical program, Dr. Davenport then introduced C.
Carrdll Clark, baritone, who was the soloist on vccasion of the band’s}
opening conceft last season. Mr. Clark sang with thrilling effect a
Russian folksong, “E1 Uchnam” ("Song of Volga Boatman”) by Jans-
solki, explaining its similarity m origin and musical structure to the
Negro folksong. A second number was the Enghsh song, "Homing,"
and then, in response té an insistent demand from the audience, he
sang Avery Robinson's ar-angement of the Negro work song, “Water
Roy"
To the pleased surprise of the audience, Ur, Uavenpurt at the
piano. played the accompaniments for Mr Clark, in the absence of the
Programed accompanist.
The final numbers were an Argentine Tange, “ht Choclo” by
Villolde, played with intriguing understanding, the Unfimshed Ssm-
phony referred to above, and a descriptne number. “Forest Idyl” by;
Michachs. As as always so. at these hand concerts, the musicians,
standing, played “Auld Lang Syne” for the formal cloang
In response to the appeal made by Alderman Moore, a number of
the people handed in cash subscriptions to the fund which will make
possible the series of free open-air concerts by Monarch Rand In
coperation wrth the City’s Park Deparment, the past summer, the
band plaved several concerts from the ronf of the comfori station i
the St Nicholas Park at 133th street, and it is huped that voluntary
subs riptions from the people “of Harlem will make it possible to iti-
ure the number to be given next summer ‘

REGARDING MRS. JONES'S IDEA
Jhe more thought we give to the letter of Mrs. Maud Jonds, which
syared in this column last week, the more we are inclined to the
iN that Mrs, Jones has presented to the colored employees of the
Pulwen Company a rough draft of a potential building." Tee build-
sing, 90 to speak, is her idea of what Pullman porters and other Negro
nployees of the Pullman’ sérvice might accomplish in the way of an
Ahibition, Just forthe sake of observation, let's analyze the idea.
Mrs. Jones says that among the families of colored ‘employees of
the Pullman “Company there may be found one, and in some cases
tevaral, of their members who is an adept in some soft, of artistry,
and that one of the ways in which the skill, ingenuity and talent of
thee families could be brought to the attention of the public would
be by these employees staging an exhibition im which the said mem-
bers would be the exhibitors. Such 2 show, she says, would’ have the
. eflect’oi demonstrating to the white race what the wives, sons and
daighters of ordinary working Negroes can product in the way”.of
«gull and art. Figuratively, that is the rudimentary blueprint which
this lady offers, 4 :
“Unlike the architect who draws the plans for ‘the prospective
building, Mrs. Jones offeys no specifiemtions for the prosecuting of
her wea, leaving, we assume, that phase of the matter to a later time.
For tht would be no need in this case. of presemting plans before the
foundation ts laid, and the foundation depends entirely upon whether
the interest of the members of the Pullman fraternity can be enlisted
in the project. . * .
Without any idea as'to the feasibility of such a project, neverthe-
less, this feporter thinks it is an excellent thought. In hig opinion
it offers a way to reach the public. Let the public sce for itseli a
glimpse of the demestic side of the Pullman porter. Acquaint it in a
specific way with the home-life“and environments of that group of
workers which are sometinies referred to a3 a national institution in
Ameriea ‘
+ Individually; the Pollman, porter, like any other warker of his
class, is evaluated according to his thrift, which, evaluation usually
comes by personal acquaintance. But as general knowledge, the pub-
hc knows very little about the rank and file of Puflman porters, away
irom Pullman cars. As a matter of fact, the public has a dubious, +f
not altogether erroneous, idea of the life of these employees, when
they are away from their employment. It is the general opinion (out-
side of his race) that the average Pullman porter is at best a person
with litle ambition, doubtful home ties and an inclination to emulate
the sporting life of the gambler. ‘That those of this type are the cx-
ceptions and not the rule is aot generally known.) And, of couise;
nile efforts has been made collectively by the porters to enlighten
the public on this score. :
sMrs Jones offers a way to correct these mpressions. The <up-
gestion she presents is a commendable oneand would recommend it-
telt,to the substantial members of the posters’ group. Ii the idea
could be developed to'a state of actuality, there is no telling how far-
teaching would be its beneficial reactions. Besides what reactions
might develop iherefrom, the progosition would serve other purposes.
Hirst, it would serve to stimulate group pride, something in which
it seems the porters are somewhat deiicient. Secondly, it would be
the means by’ which the public could get a truer perspective of the
personal hie of the porters. ‘Thirdly, we might »dy,-most important-
hs.» would, without doubt, help the perters economically. In fact,
we beliece it would result in briiging to the porters many phases of
Uetterment in their industrial relations, ;
Wn the subject of industrial betterment, we say now ac we have
Said before in this column, if the Pullman Company of 1t3 own volition
doesn't improve the industrial conditions of its porters, the only other
resort these emplayees have is the public. But the trouble here is
shat the public is wot unlike the individual, It welcomes ‘your smiles
ana «1+ ccbievements, but your woes and your tronbles—well, as
Moran or Mack, (which is it?) in the “Two Black Crows” would say,
“Oh, Vd rather you wouldn’t speak of thyt”. That is usually the Pub-
lice aritude towards industrial complaints and contentions.
Mrs, Jones's idea 1s worthy of consideration for many reasons
and trom many angles. '
