Office Had Booked Passage On Liner Sailing Oct. 27, But Official Held Up Order Received On The 26th, Thus Delaying Trip To Nov. 10 One of the most tragic episodes in connection with the sinking of the ill-fated SS "Vestris" of the Lamport & Holt Steamship Line, which sailed from Hoboken November 10 and went down 250 miles off the Virginia coast on November 12, was the death of Miss, Germaine Gertrude Julien, who, with a cousin, Miss Daphine Julien, was enroute to Bridgetown, Barbados, B.

W. L., to v Miss Julien had planned to sail on October 27 on the SS "Van Dyke" of the same line, and had made application more than a month previous for the permit of treptry, which would enable her to return to the United States on her passport, which had been issued her by British authorities. The Washington office of the Immigration Bureau ordered the immigration officials in New York to obtain certain data from Miss Julien's passport as a preliminary to granting the permit of reentry, and this order reached New York on October 26, just one day prior to sailin gof the "Van Dyke." · Officer Delayed Calling But the immigration officer to whom was given the order, as he told Miss Julien later, decided that the time was so short she would be unable to make the boat on the next day, and so he delayed calling her until Monday, October 30, thus necessitating her taking a later boat. In the meantime, her cousin, Miss Daphne, who had all of her papers, purposely delayed her trip in order to travel in company with Miss Germaine. Miss Daphne was enroute to Granada, B. W. I. And so it came about that the two young women were passenger on the "Vestrius" and were among the 114 human beings who went down to death in the ocean's stormy bosom. Born in Barbadades thirty years ago, Moss Germaine was educated in the convent in Bridgetown, at the same time taking a course as a paintero student in the Convent's musical conservatory. Later, on a trip to London, she took a course in music at St. Mary's College. She came to New York from London three years ago, visiting her sister, Mrs. Elaine Hanley of 101 West 143rd street, who is also a fine pianist, organist and teacher, being organist and choi director of St. Mark's Roman Catholic Church, West 138th street, the Rev. Father, Plunkett, priest in char. A. Brilliant Pianist Mr. Jutney's brilliant pianistic ability and pleasing personality won for her a large circle of friends and she soon established a substantial clientele of piano pupils. As evidence of her personal popularity, it is reported that when a friend, making inquiry in the Lamport & Holt office, as to her probable fate, protested to the clerk that he had not referred to the he for the required information, the clerk replied that "Miss Julien must be very popular, as I have today had almost twenty-five calls as to her fate." Various stories as to how the two girls met their fate have been told the family by survivors. One said that the girls were standing behind him in a jam on the steamer, and that as he was getting into a lifeboat he shouted back to them. VICTIM OF 'VESTRIS' ```markdown ``` GERMAINE G. JULIEN Pianist; lost in sinking of ill-fated Lamport & Holt Liner. "Look out for yourselves, girls!" Another said that he saw them sitting placidly in a lifeboat that was never lowered, and yet another declares that the girls rushed up to the deck en dehabilie, and, when conditions were visualized, became so terror-stricken they could not be controlled and that both jumped overboard. Relatives surviving Miss Germaine are her father and mother in Bridgetown, Barbados; Mrs. Elaine Hanley, sister, New York City; a brother, Willie, of Albany, N. Y., and another brother, Leo, a member of the Andrades Orchestra, Renaissance Casino, New York City. Another sister is in Barbados. A requiem mass was celebrated at St. Mark's R.

BROWN Who made fine record during six years service as Deputy Clerk, 7th District Municipal Court, rendering distinctive aid, particularly, to victims of rapacious landlords. MICHIGAN BROWN LOSES CLERKSHIP ON NOVEMBER 22 Democratic Justices. In 7th Dist. Court Clean Out All Republicans Michigan C. Brown, who has served for the past six years as a deputy clerk of the 7th District Municipal Court at 320 West 125th street, has been notified that his tenure of office ends on Thursday. November 22, at which time a Democrat will be named as his successor. This action is taken as a result of the election of two Democratic Justices at the November, 1927, election, to succeed Justices John R. Davies and Sidney Crane, Republicans, who were defeated by Justices John J. Sullivan and David Lewis. All Republicans To Go All of the Republicans holding deputy clerkships will be displaced by Democrats, and already former Alderman Hugh Masterson, who was defeated for reelection in 1927 by Alderman Fred R. Moore. Republican, has been sworn in as assistant chief clerk in place of Charles Cogut. Republican, whose appointment had a little more than two years to run to entitle him to a pension Cogut had held the position twelve years. Masterson took office on Monday, November 19 Tammany Scotns Negro With the removal of Michigan Brown, the Negro is without representation. It is reported that Attorney George E. Hall, who was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for the State Assembly in 1927, was an aspirant for the place, but it is declared with what appears to be authority that Tammany Hall turned "thumbs down" on him, declaring that the Negro Democratic vote in Harlem was not of sufficient importance to warrant giving a Negro the clerkship. William J. Donovan, Republican, who succeeded Valentine J. Hahn as chief clerk a little more than a year ago, is slated to be succeeded by John Plunkett, but Plunkett was delayed in taking the oath by a serious attack of gripe. Donovan, it is said, claims to have been appointed for the full term of six years, and not to fill out the unexpired term of Mr Hahn. WE BELIEVE HER Grandma: And do you young people still set your caps for youthful swains? Sends Letter of Inquiry To Company, Which Brings What He Terms As An "Evasive" Reply In Explanation of Action Orange, N. J.—One of the most flagrant examples of segregation of Negroes which has ever been projected has been inaugurated by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of this state. Recently a change was made in the company's office in Orange, and with this change, the plan of segregation was instituted. When colored policyholders, who have been in the habit of making payments at the office, presented themselves for this purpose they were directed to another office in Newark, which is about five miles distant. "Dear Sir: Your letter of November 7th has been referred to the subscriber for reply. "We opened a new office at 990-92 Broad street, Newark, in order to render better service to our policyholders. Those policyholders referred to in your letter probably have been in the habit of paying their premiums at the office. All Colored Policyholders It was noted by those who went to the Newark office that only col- persons were there, and, on inqui- one of the clerks stated that this office in Newark was being maintained especially for colored policymolders. Opon receiving this information, Dr W. G. Alexander wrote the following letter to the home office November 7, 1928 Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Metropolitan Bldg. New York City. Attention: Manager Dear Sir: During the last two days at least twenty of my patients have consulted me about the inauguration of what to them is a new policy by your company. All of the persons who have seen me are of the colored race. They advised me that when they called at the Orange office for the purpose of paying premiums on insurance which they carry, they were directed to an office on Broad street, near Kinney street, New- A Five Mile Trip This Newark office is at least five miles from the Orange office, in which city all of these people live, and it requires at least one hour for a round trip to Newark, plus the consideration of car fare. In addition to this, these persons stated that only colored people were reporting at this office for the payment of premiums. One of them stated to me that she was informed by one of the female clerks in the Newark office that, it was for the use of colored people only. Will you kindly advise me if the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company has inaugurated a policy of segregation among its policyholders. If this is true, will you kindly state to me legitimate reasons for the inauguration of such policy? Will you also advise me why it is necessary for persons diving in Orange to make payments at an office which is far distant from the place they live, and which entails so much inconvenience? It is only far to state to you there is an intense feeling of resentment on the part of these colored policetholders over the inauguration of this program, and I am asking this information of you in all sincerity in order that they may understand thoroughly what the situation is. W. G. ALEXANDER, M. D The Company Replies *The following is the company's reply* "Nov. 9, 1928 "Mr. W. G. Alexander, M. D. "136 W. Kinney Street, "Newark, New Jersey" "Dear Sir: Your letter of November 7th has been referred to the subscriber for reply. "We opened a new office at 990 92B broad street, Newark, in order to render better service to our policyholders. Those policyholders referred to in your letter probably have been in the habit of paying their premiums at the office. If such is the case, they receive an allowance of 10 per cent, provided they comply with the rules. "If the location of our new office is convenient for some policyholders, they may mail their premiums; or we will be pleased to have an agent call to collect. "We have a similar office located here in New York City, to which premiums are sent by mail from practically every part of the country, and there is no complaint." Añ Evasive Reply "You must appreciate that, irrespective of location, it will always be true that it will not be as convenient for some policyholders to pay at a given address as it is for others. "ARTHUR W. TRETHEWEY; "Superintendent of Agencies." It is to be noted that the above letter is very evasive, and does not directly answer the questions asked, but the inference to be drawn from reading between the lines, is that the colored policyholders can either accept this arrangement or else discontinue any dealings with the Metropolitan Life. It is very fortunate that Negroes now have among themselves several strong insurance companies which are able to take care of all kinds of life insurance business, and it is to be wondered whether Negroes are willing accept the segregation imposed upon them by the Metropolitan or whether they will seek to support companies of their own. It has long been known that the Metropolitan, although one of the largest insurance companies in the world, having agencies almost everywhere, does not employ Negroes in any capacity. W. G. ALEXANDER, M. D Armistice Day Program At Tuskegee Institute Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-The tenth annual Armistice Day was observed here Sunday, November 11, with a program in the alumni bowl in which the faculty, student body and ex-service men participated. J. G. Wright, assistant director of the academic department, was the speaker. Lt. Col. J. H. Ward, medical officer in charge, U. S. Veterans' Hospital, No. 91, presented a flag to the Boy Scout troop of Tuskegee Institute. Col. W. H. Walcott scoutmaster and commandant of cadets, accepted the gift. Military maneuvers by the cadet regiment, a pageant and mass singing were features of the program. Mrs. Simkhovitch Writes Medical Center About Drawing Color Line In connection with the recent barring of a colored nurse from taking a special course offered by the Sloane Maternity Hospital, a part of the, great, Medical Centre recently opened on Washington Heights, after she had been accepted and had come on from Washington to enter, the N. A. A. C. P. addressed appeals to a number of prominent white citizens asking a protest against such discrimination. To November 9, the association had a response from only one of these citizens, Mrs. Mary Kingsbury Sinkhovitch, head of the Greenwich House Settlement in New York City. Mrs. Sinkhovitch wrote the hospital, and in her letter made inquiry: "Do you have application blanks for admission to post-graduate work and do they mention color or race as a subject on which the hospital would like to have information in regard to the applicant?" And in concluding, she wrote: "I have no claim on your attention, but I imagine I am one of a large number of white citizens who are deeply interested in securing for colored people the opportunities which are, open to other citizens and who wish to effect this adjustment with the least possible social strain." PAUL ROBESON IS GUEST IN HOUSE COMMONS Entertained At Luncheon And Tea By Members of the Labor Party From The New York Times London, Nov. 17—Paul Robeson, Negro actor and singer, whose performance in "Show Boat" here has been one of the outstanding features of that successful musical comedy, was entertained Friday, November 16 at luncheon in the House of Commons by members of the Labor Party. Ramsay MacDonald, former Prime Minister was one of the guests and talked earnestly with Mr Robeson. After the luncheon the theatrical star was taken to a seat in the Distinguished Strangers' Gallery and later took tea with James Maxton and Miss Ellen Wilkinson. The diminutive Labor woman then took the gugantic actor around the House and introduced him to nearly every distinguished member. PRES. B. F. HUBERT AT LAND GRANT CONFERENCE Sawamah, Ga—President B. F. Hubert of Georgia State College has gone to Washington, D. C., where he is attending the Conference of Negro Land Grant college presidents, November 20 to 21. President Hubert has been invited by the United States Bureau of Education to assist in standardizing the questionnaires on various lines of activity for a survey of the Negro Land Grant Colleges made possible by a recent act of Congress.

PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL WILL NOT ADMIT COLORED PATIENTS FOR PRIVATE ROOM TREATMENT Mrs. Brown, Wife of Mother Zion's Pastor, Refused Accommodation Although Race Gave $50,000 To Medical Center Fund At the imposing entrance of New York's twenty million dollar Medical Center on 167th street west of Broadway, an imposing stone bears the following inscription set in bronze letters: "The Presbyterian Hospital, for the poor of New York without regard to race, creed or color. Supported by voluntary contributions." Despite this display of fairness, there have been two aggravated cases of racial discrimination at the Medical Center within the past few months. The first was against a young colored nurse, a graduate of Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D.C. with the Rev. Richard M. Bolden who was refused admittance to a as Chairman and Dr. Louis T. class doing graduate work in nurses. Wright as secretary. This committing because she was colored. A More Flagrant Case Now comes an even more flagrant case at the Presbyterian Hospital, which was founded by the late James Lemox, because no hospital in the city would admit his colored servant. Mrs. Martha Hill Brown, wife of the Rev. James W. Brown, pastor of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, has been ailing since her return from a trip to the Pacific Coast and the Hawaiian Island. Last week her physician, Dr. U. Conrad Vincent of 209 West 135th street, advised her to take treatment at a hospital and recommended the Presbyterian Hospital. The patient consented and the doctor made application for a private room. Immediately, employees of the hospital began making inquiries to find out whether Mrs. Brown was white or colored. Someone from the hospital called the doctor's office and inquired whether Dr. Vincent's patients were white or colored. The nurse replied, that they were equally divided between the two races. Refused Private Room An inquiry was made at Dr. Brown's residence by a Miss Holt, who asked to sperk to the trained nurse on duty. She told this nurse, Miss M. Legall, that she wanted to ask a few questions and only wanted the reply, "yes" or "no". Her first question was as to whether Mrs. Brown was colored or white. When Miss Legall replied that Mr. Brown was colored, she was informed that Mrs. Brown could not have a private room in the hospital, but would have to go to one of the public wards. In the meantime, Dr. Vincent made inquiry at the Rousevelt Hospital, which readily consented to admit Mrs. Brown to a private room where she is now undergoing treatment. Negroes Gave $50,000 To Fund When the Columbia University Medical School, the Presbyterian Hospital, the Vanderbilt Clinic and several other hospitals, united to erect the Medical Center four years ago, they conducted a city-wide campaign for funds and several million dollars were-contrib committee was formed in Harlem with the Rev. Richard M. Bolden as Chairman and Dr. Louis T. Wright as secretary. This committee made a thorough canvas of Harlem and succeeded in raising something over $50,000 toward this fund. The record of the Presbyterian Hospital for fairness, without regard to race, was pointed to in the campaign and assurance was given the Harlem public that this policy would be continued at the new institution. Manhattan Lodge Gave $6,000 Several public meetings were held in Harlem, the largest being at Sakem M. E. Church, the Rev. F. A. Cullen, pastor, on Sunday afternoon, June 14, 1925. At this meeting, addresses were made by Dr. C. C. Burlingame, now the chief administrative officer of the Center; Dr. Louis T. Wright, the Rev. W. W. Brown and A. Clayton Powell, who made the appeal. Several thousand dollars were reported at this meeting, including a gift of $6,000 from Manhattan Lodge, No. 45, I. B. P. O. E. of W by its then exalted ruler, J. Dalmus Steele. Later during the campaign contributions were made by a number of other organizations including the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, under Harry J. Edwards, grand master; the colored Post Office employees, and the various churches, including $100 from Mother A. M. E. Zion Church. The largest individual contribution was $1,000 from Casper Holsten. These contributors and other residents in Harlem are indignant over the treatment given colored citizens since the opening of the Center. Dr Louis T. Wright, secretary to the Uptown Auxiliary of the Medical Center, which was made a permanent body after completion of the buildings, was informed of the discrimination against Mrs. Brown. He expressed surprise to know that such a thing could happen at the Presbyterian Hospital. He knew from experience he said, that some of the hospitals do not admit colored patients to their private wards. Several of his patients had been refused such wards at St. Luke's Hospital, Mt. Sinai and other hospitals but it was so rare that a colored patient had enough money to pay for such treatment, no definite protest had been trade against dias St. Benedict's Day Nursery, Largest And Finest In Harlem, To Celebrate 5th Anniversary December 4, 1928 will mark the fifth anniversary of the opening of St. Benedict's Day Nursery, housed in a four-story fireproof building at 27-29 West 182nd street.

Rothstein's Death Causes "Keep Shufflin'" To Close In Chicago The murder of Arnold Rothstein, the millionaire sportman, in New York a few days ago, proved a heavy blow to the members of Miller and Lyle's "Keep Shufflin," which was playing in Chicago. Rothstein was revealed as the backer of the show when it closed Saturday night, November 17. The fight over Rothstein's estate is alleged to have stopped the flow of money necessary to continue the Chicago engagement. Equity Brings Actors Back "Keep Shulfin" shuffled back to Gotham from Chicago Tuesday with railroad fare paid by the Actors' Equity as a aftermath of the slaying of Rothstein, "angel." Flourney E. Miller star of the troupe of seventy, said he knew Rothstein owned the show, but denied knowing he was a gambler. He was known to the troupe as an insurance broker. According to the Equity offices, the affairs of the "Keep Shulfin" company are in uncertain condition. Frank R. Dare, representative of the Equity, said that all efforts to locate Leo Leavitt, manager for the ostensible owners of the show, Beckman Corporation, had failed. The corporation had offices in New York with Rothstein. Dare outlined that the show took in $400 last week, but no salaries were paid. However, he outlined that a $5,000 bond, posted in New York, would take care of the actors, but the three colored stage hands and the orchestra men—they are not, equity members and were not included in the "fare and distribution." "Keep Shufflin" on Saturday November 17, finished the first week of a scheduled fourteen night engagement in Chicago. Movement To Organize Retired Pullman Porters A movement is being projected by George L. Ford of 309 West 136th Street, a retired Pulman porter, to form an organization of veteran and retired employees of the Pullman Co for the purpose of effecting means by which members of this group may keep in touch with each other and thus avoid the loneliness and loss of friendly contact which usually comes with absence of activity. A letter has been sent asking these men to cooperate in the movement and a meeting will be called as soon as sufficient responses are received. amount to about $100. In the past the principal support has come from an annual theatrical benefit at the Jolson Theatre. This year the benefit is being given Sunday to the members of the bar of leading Broadway, stars are volunteering their services. That many people see the value of this work is attested by the fact that the boxes are always sold at $100 each. They have all been sold for admission tickets and admission tickets may still be measured at the box office from $1 to $5. Recently an auxiliary was formed of colored citizens with the purpose of helping the work financially. This organization is composed of both Catholics and non Catholics and has elected the following officers: Raymond L. Butler, president; Mrs. A. L. M. Marion, vice president; Miss.

Old favorites that left the Lincoln Theatre many months ago to entertain elsewhere are again holding the boards at the Lincoln Theatre this week and there's a snap to their work which is being received with a wealth of applause at the hands of audiences this week. Billy Andrews, a versatile youngster, appeared at the Lincoln in sketches many months ago and then was seen in action at the Alhambra Theatre. John Mason, known to Lincoln audiences for quite a while, also made the trip to the Alhambra but life are back on 135th street and how. Jimmy Marshall, having the material to work with, got together a snappy little revue and John* and Billy with Isey Ringgold, Maud Mills, Mary Preval, Billy Cogway, Edith Simm, Herman Taylor and the rest of the entertainers are appearing in what they choose to call "Heading For Harlem." Next week, Dewey Winglass will present his "Tip Top Revue" at the Lincoln. Winglass has "been a Lafayette Theatre favorite and should do well on 135th street. The feature picture in conjunction with the other part of the entertainment, for the latter half of the week commencing Thursday will be "Kit Carson," a tale of the West in those days when the Indians still roamed the prairie and offered still resistance to the usurpers of their land. To those who have followed carefully their "wild west" stories, Kit Carson is a character that will hold the attention of any screen audience. This picture is the unreeling of the romantic life of the famous scout, trapper and army officer, Kit having filled all those roles in his lifetime. Interesting sequences follow in rapid succession—what is said to be one of the outstanding pictures of the year. "The River Pirate" At The Roosevelt Theatre Those who have read "The River Pirate," by Charles Francis Cox which recently ran in the Saturday Evening Post and which comes to the Roosevelt Theatre for an engagement of three days, starting Saturday, November 24, will recall, most notably, the story of a boy who had a chance until he met the girl who plucked him from a life of crime and brought him, back to decency and to hef. The screen rights to this story were purchased by Post-Film, the directorial assignment went to William K. Howard, youthful director, who has surpassed his prior efforts, including "White Gold," "The Main Event" and other successes. The central figures are a pair of boon companies, a boiled sailor and a mere youth, together and engage in river pirate working in the dark of the night and ever pursued, by watchful harbor police. This provides for just a few more thrills than come to the usual motion picture and stresses the old maxim that there is good in indulgence. Instantly it goes far to prove that reform schools do not always reform. *Victor McLaglen plays the stalker role of the river pirate with his companion enacted by Nick Stetuart, and Lois McMyran as the girl in the story. Crossing in the part of the double-crossing "shark" A murder trial is - in progress. The noose is tightening about the neck of Dapper Frank Trent, notorious gangster, suspected murderer. The prosecution has just announced that it will put a form of torture on him. The witness stands. The witness takes the stand, is sworn in and glares at his former leader. He is just opening his mouth to speak when a shot rings out sharply, with witness 'crumples in' his chair, dead. "Then George Bancroft, the big daredevil detective lieutenant, gets on the trail of the crooks in "The Drag Net," the Paramount picture coming to the Douglas theatre Saturday, November 10, to see the crooks in charge of the crooks Bancroft carries his war in this thrilling melodrama of the laws finish battle with organized forces of the underworld. His men advise caution. The crooks fire a leaden message of defiance from their machine guns, right into the office at police headquarters. But danger is just a challenge to this red blooded fightman. In "The Drag Net" Bancroft has much the same type of role which he played in "Underworld" and stardom. in "Underworld." Only: instead of being an underworld leader he takes the part of the thesis of the gangsters in this picture. He is able 'supported by Evelyn Brent, Fred Kohler and William Powell in his latest starring vehicle. The picture is said to be far surpassed of 'Underworld', the picture depicting the life of a gangster. Montgomery, Ala. After having been turned back with defeat in their several conference.starts, the Morehouse College aggregation finally hit their stride here at Paterson Field. November 16 and snowed under the Alabama State Normal Hornets by a 25-7 score. It was the first conference defeat for the State Normal Hornets since they got started after losing to Atlanta University early in the season and represented the second conference win for the Morehouse Tigers this year. It was in the second quarter that the Morehouse offensive began to show its power, with Saunders and Mosely, hiking the line for big gains and with Brown and Elia functioning on the receiving end of an serial attack that netted the two touchdowns for Morehouse within ten minutes. State Normal came strong as the beginning of the third period to drive down the field sixty-five yards, for their touchdown before reclaiming control of the ball. After Lewis had hurled a long pass to Love, A. D. Brown crashed over for the touchdown and then Walton, and Brown manipulated a clever deceptive play that was a pass to Lewis for the extra point. With this tide at the beginning of the second half seeming to 'turn in' State's Normal's favor, the Morehouse Tigers decided to do sonic more sporing. Receiving the next kickoff, they used a long pass and then the line smashing of a sixteen-year old Freshman by the name of H. C. James to tear up the Hornet defense for a third touchdown. This same James kid was used along with Spunders and Moseley, in the final period to drive sixty-yards for the final touchdown of the game. This game was a significant forerunner of feature games during the next two weeks for both teams. The Alhambra State Hornets are priming for their feature, tilt with Tuskegee here at Grampus Bowl.

The text was St. John 16.33. Despite the fact that Dr. Tyler's heart was burdened because of the illness of his wife, Mrs. Adah Tyler, he seemingly summoned extra fortitude and delivered one of the greatest sermons of his career. In explaining the text, Dr. Tyler said that it was a part of "Jesus' farewell address, and that He was interested in all, but particularly the "human wreckage." He wanted man to see the invisible world with the eye of faith, for those whose hopes are earth-bound are hoping in vain. The dominant note of his sermon was "There are two realms, or two worlds, one is the visible and one is the invisible. The invisible we see through Jesus. In the visible world some would have God banish or negate this world of fact where we have trials, tribulations, misunderstandings and other woes. We must go through this for this is the cost of living. We must have relationships and responsibilities. We cannot have safety in this world but we can have courage. He closed with a vivid picture of the invisible world; where, there is peace, no night or sorrow. Three persons joined the church. At the evening hour, Evangelist Ida B. Henson delivered the sermon. Her text was St. Mark 8:54. The theme was "following Jesus." Mrs. Henson made a splendid effort before the large congregation, and aroused them to a high degree of religious fervor. She stressed the thought that all must bear a cross like Jesus did if we want to follow Him, but He will give us strength to bear it and in the final day we will receive our just reward. The flowers in the pulpit were in memory of the late, William Henderson, a trustee of the church, and was given by his widow, Mrs. Emma Acecote Heiderson, a stewardess of the church. On Thanksgiving Day baskets will be given to the newly members of the church. The sixth annual union Thanksgiving service with Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion. Church will be held at this church. Dr. W. C. Brown, pastor of Fleet street Church will deliver the sermon. Next Sunday the cancibles for full communion will be received. It is planned to make this a very impressive service.

He held that the church is the mother of us all, and as such should have the support of all in its work for the entire community. At the evening time he drew a resemblance between trouble and a bubble. "Trouble comes to us all and covers every phase of life. It is not a ball and chain but a bubble. Bubbles burst after a moment, and at little insight will show you how so many of our troubles we thought had come to stay, have burst and gone forever. Bubbles are lighter than the air, we breathe, and the insight of communion with the giver of spiritual life will demonstrate that our bubbles are lighter than reality. Bubbles can be seen through and a little foresight will reveal through our troubles the faces of our friends, our better selves and our God." Rev. T. J. Bell, who assisted the pastor at all services of the day, gave an illuminating talk on the sinking of the Veatia at the evening time. An effort, is being made to secure the presence of one of the heroes of the fatal ship at the meeting next Sunday evening. The funeral of Mrs. William Carey, of 1708 Fulton street, occurred at the church Sunday afternoon in the presence of a large concourse of friends. Her illness was very brief. Reconstructions of sympathy were extened by the Star Class and the Brown Memorial School. Prof. G. A.

Audubon 3078 Prominent Attorney Asks Mayor Walker To Hold Public Reception For Lionel Licorish, Negro Hero The outstanding hero of the ill-fated S. S. Vestris of the Lamport and Holt Steamship Company, which sank off the coast of Virginia Monday, November 12, with the loss of 118 lives, was Lionel Licorish; 24 year old Negro quartermaster. Licorish took command of one of the life boats and guided it all night before assistance arrived. While commanding the life boat, he jumped into the shark-infested water time after time to bring to the boat persons struggling in the water. He is credited with saving the lives of 20 persons and with bringing 50 to safety. The metropolitan newspapers were loud in their praise of the braism of this young Negro. In a leading editorial, The Graphic delared. "Heroism, like cowardice, knows no lines of roce or collar." Y. M. C. A., at 7:30 p. m., and paraded to the church. When the parade reached the church, W. E. Meeks, vice-president of the League, introduced Dr. Harten as master of ceremonies. Herbert E. Kronfield, an attorney with offices at 26 Court street, Brooklyn, has written Mayor Walker urging a public reception for this hero. He points out that almost every other nationality or racial group has been so honored excepting the Negro. His letter in full is as follows: "His Honor, James J. Walker" In recent years, there have been repeated receptions at the City Hall of the City of New York in honor of various nationalists. Distinguished or heroic Americans, Germans, Irish, English Roumanians and others have been honored without bias or favor. Never to my recollection, has a deserving colored man received such recognition. "As to the management of the life-boats that were lounched from the ill-fated line Vestris, there are current contrasting tales of heroism and cowardice. However, the largest need of praise goes to a Elle Negro Quartermaster, with the picturesque name of Lionel litchison, who, rising above all seeing of race prejudice and rantor, demonstrated the fact that he is one of God's own men. "If reports are correct, Lionel Licornis took command of one of the boats, guided it all night before assistance arrived, and jumped overboard time and time again, into the shark infested ocean, to bring to the boat persons who were struggling in the water, even swimming back and forth to procure a knife with which to release one who was held fast to some floating debris. "As a staunch, unswerving Jeffersonian Democrat, I respectfully urge upon you the appropriateness and fairness of publicly recognizing, in your capacity as Mayor of the world's greatest metropolis, with the largest colored population of any city in the United States, the heroism of Lionel Licornis an humble little Negro Quartermaster, but an inspiring example of exceptional fortitude Very respectfully yours, HERBERT E.

On Tuesday evening, girls who had been at Camp Fern Rock last summer gave a camp demonstration. The setting was lovely and as the girls sat around a camp fire and sang, we almost thought ourselves at camp On Thursday night, the girls came down in their togs and did all sorts of thrilling stunts for the edification of campaign workers. The drive continues through this week and everybody is working hard to go over the top before the week closes.

Davis for reelection as National Committeeman from Georgia, met in executive session here on November 17, and named G. F. Fanders of Swainsboro and Mrs. Charles A. Vernoy of Athens for National Committeeman and Committeewoman, respectively, and recommended their election by the Republican National Committee. At the same time, Mr. Davis announced definitely that under no circumstances would he be a candidate, and that hereafter Republican affairs in Georgia would be in hands of white leaders It is reported that Mr. Davis will retain his position as secretary of the state organization. The dominant faction, which has retained Mrs. George S. Williams of Savannah as National Committeewoman, with the Committeeman's place vacant, took no part in the meeting, and indications are that they are standing pat in their opposition to the policies supported by Ben Davis. Religious Convocation At Howard University Washington, D. C. The twelfth annual convention of the School of Religion at Howard University, held November 13, 14 and 15, was built around the central thought of the inner life of the Christian with special consideration of prayer, worship and mental health, as these effect christian personality "The Life of Prayer" was the subject of a series of addresses given by Professor William Adams Brown of Union Theological Seminary, New York. Worship was the theme of Professor Miles M Fisher, formerly of Virginia Union University. Dr. Winifred V. Richmond of St. Elizabeth's Hospital awakened keen interest as she told the ministers what they should know about Mental Hygiene. Dr. W. Sinclair Bowen impressed his hearers, as, from the standpoint of the Christian physician, he emphasized the important of prayer and faith in God, as curative agents Rev E. C. Smith, the pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church of Wash Dr. ALONZO deG. SMITH Curiosity In Children By Mr. ALONZO deG. SMITH Curiosity has been called the mother of all knowledge and the nuisance of all mothers. Doubless there is some truth in both characterizations. No trait of human nature shows more strikingly than does curiosity the appetite for new experience or for new kinds of experience. The normal child begins to ask questions about the second year of its life, usually, and how long he will keep it up depends to a large degree on its parents and others with whom it comes in daily contact. When a normal child fails to ask questions, it is a reflection on the home or those who are daily around it. We find curiosity not only in the constant questioning and the handling and "trying" of all objects, but also in the tendency to pry into closed places, and in destructive tendencies. In most instances parents will find that the destruction of toys is largely due to the desire for doing something with those toys, and can best be met by supplying materials which may be torn to shreds.ington, gave a thoughtful address on the "Social Scope of Christianity." Yonkers' Preacher Slain By Brother Yonkers. N Y.-In the second fratricide here in the past month, Thomas Harris, 34, a local preacher was slain by a razor wielded, police say, by his brother, Luther, 29, during an argument in the kitchen of their apartment at 126 Riverdale avenue, early Saturday, November 17. Police were called to the apartment by a neighbor who heard the altercation. When they arrived they found Harris lying unconscious on the floor with a deep gash on the under side of his upper left arm. An ambulance was called but by the time it had arrived Harris was dead from loss of blood. Detectives James Tynan and James Hollis, went to New York City on a clue and arrested the murderer at 134 West-143rd street at which place they found him at the home of friends # This tendency in older children who realize what they are doing is plain and simple destructiveness and should be discouraged. The younger child may tear apart an insect out of sheer curiosity, as very often little boys will do to their sister's doll; but the act may in some cases merely gratify the desire to see what is inside, while in other cases it may contain a decided streak of cruelty. It would, therefore, be unwise to treat all such acts as cruelty by means of whippings or other punishments that are in their way as cruel as what the child has done. To give a child an animal to love and pet will do more to cultivate sympathetic disposition than daily sermons on being kind or by means of punishment. Let me say here however, that I do not advocate the keeping of dogs or cats in the same small apartments where children live. Unless you have ample spaces for such pets, a bird is a very good substitute. The normal child of from three to six years appears to its parents to possess an inexhaustible depth of questions. Grown-up defences must then be ready to meet the onslaught of inquiry, for "parental wisdom is never nearer the divine than when telling the truth to a little child, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH." However, it is certainly not necessary to be too explicit in answering your child's questions. A child does not understand explicitness and it is just as harmful to go into detail too far, as it is to answer the question vaguely. Almost every child in the world has asked its mother, "Where did I come from?" You are certainly getting yourself engulfed with questions if, you answer, "The stork brought you." Then he will most likely ask, "Where did the stork get me?" "Why did he bring me?" and countless other questions which can only come from a child's mind. When the child sees a stork and later learns more about storks, it will not be long before he will doubt that he is kin to a stork and will begin to seek information from other sources. Children living in the rural districts have the opportunity of meeting this early curiosity concerning their origin more normally than children who do not know plants and animals as everyday companions. Its mother may show it the buds on plants which later become beautiful flowers and still later on that the beautiful flower has seeds which will make another plant and so on. When children have started to school, often questions arise about matters of fact—such questions as relate to dates, names and places, and to their studies. The parent will often give the answer of least resistance. "I don't know." Instead you should send your child to an encyclopedia, or look the matter up together. He should get such information while his interest is still alive. Don't let him get the answer "ready-made" from others or to dismiss it from his mind because the solution involves too much effort. On the other hand little girls and boys get the habit of asking questions (often a symptom of fatigue or mental irritability) that should be prompt and decidedly discouraged. Joseph Lea says. His exploring, investigating testing, collecting, is the entrance of Man and Knower into his kingdom. Fire, water, tools—with edges to them—plants, animals, the sea, the earth, the air, and all that in them is, are his—even the starry heavens are his—if he can find their secret. And to such conquest he is predestined by the invincible desire of his soul! Mrs ALONZO deG. SMITH mie PAGE FOUR’ - Se ee eR Ee The New ‘Pork .

One of the chief features ‘fof the publicity given the sinking was to sjfnd an appropriate scapegoat, upon which .|to concentrate the blame for the excessive ‘floss of passengers. all the children and ‘most of the women being drowned by the ilupsetting of the lifeboats into a, stormy ‘Jsea filled with sharks, Firkt: the black ‘finembers of the crew were charged with Jteowardice and thé while officers termed “incompetent, including the captain who went down with his vessel. ) This version was soon controverted by :|the stories of many of the passengers, in- icluding the few women saved, who attri- ‘fouted their rescue to the efforts of the flack seamen, But the first reports had ,karried as far as London, the steamer ‘sailing under the British flag, A cable- ‘gram printed in a Sunday paper said that ithe New York correspondent of Reuter's “Ltd., 2 British news agency, charged that "ithe Negro firemen. most of whom were , from“ Barbadoes, became panicky when the water flowed into the fireroom, and : deserted their posts, ‘thus allowing the ;Steam to fail which kepp the pumps going. "This is opposed to the accounts in the New York papers. which stated that the “black gang,"" as the stokers are called, “stuck to their posts firing the last un- "flooded boiler as long as possible, so that there might be power for the dynamo which supplied current for the radio.”. sAn anonymous” torrespondent in the ’ New York Telegrain, writing from the Seamen's Church Institute of New York, _oiced his opposition to ‘colored sailors “ivi the following gibe: | Perhaps now, after the Vestris disaster, the American public will wake up and reffe t¢ » Sail on passenger sup unless it has an all Many American lines have colored crews In every recent sea disaster the same charge: of cowardice have been brought against ship: -- that carried a colored crew on board . ‘That English liner that was rammed in the English Channel being a notorious example. ‘Mso. would like to comment on. the.

New York subway em- ployees and the Pullman porters. The immediate cause of this reterence was ‘the election just held by the company union of Pullman’ porters, together: with the criticisms of the methods employed to eu- roll a large vote, as voiced by the support- ers of the Brotlferhood, the labor organi- zation of the porters, that is opposed to company control. The company union is based on the principle of Eruployee repre- sentation, as is the case with the union of subway employees. In the same editorial objection was raised to the harsh language and vitupera- tive epithets attributed to the advocates of both sides of the controversy as pre- venting a calm and friendly discussion and consideration of the matters at issue. Tn the following issue we printed a let: ter from P. A. Sample, an investigator for the Pullman Coinpany, in which he denied that the assistant district superintendent at the Long Island City terminal had used the expressi8ns charged to him in an in- terview had with a writer of the Federat- ei Press) (etming the porters as “nigger,” “shine” And ““darkey.” We are glad to have leh vigotons denials from the rep- rebentatives of the company, as it gives cyidence of a desire to preserve the decen- cies of civilization in dealingy with their employeds, regardless of color or con- dition, But Mr. Sample’s letter was of import- ance from another point of view. It claim- ed that the plan of Employee Representa: tion has functioned successfully since 192).,withont criticism’ until the organi- zation of the brotherhood. Since then, said Mr. Sample. there are all kinds of false accusations and unmerited criticism heaped upon the heads of both the cologed and white members of the Pullman sup- ervisary staff. He avers‘that the election is not conducted by the Pullman officials. but that the vote this year was larger than at any previous election, comprising nine- ty-eight per cent of the total, number of einployees in this district and nintey-three per cent of the total number of Pullman employcescin the entire country. Ti these figures gre reliable, it would appear that ahe company union is a medium through which the employees must look for any improvement in their conditions of work and pay. . ‘As throwing some light on the work. ings of this method of Employee Repre: sentation, we have had recourse to 2 copy of the minutes of the joint confererice held in” Chicago, early in 1926, between the elected representatives of the Porters an¢ Maids and representatives of tle Pullman Company, (o negotiate revision of the ex: isting agreement on rules governing working conditions. The demands of the porters for increased wages and improve sworking conditions appeared to be pres ented by their spokesmen with confidence anil vigorously 4pFessed for favorable con sideration, despite the “objections raised by the company representatives. The out come was an increase of eight per cent in wages and the improvement of three spe cified working conditions. THe new agreement was signed by-all but two o! the employee representatives, who did not regard the company’s concessions as ade. quate. This would show that, in default of any other method of collective bargaining, the company union at least serves the purpose of getting the representativés of both sides together to talk things over and to reach a workingy agreement, If over ninety per: cent of the employees voted in the recent election, as is maintained by the company representatives, the company union will doubtless be regarded as the authorized representative of the employees, which will be a blow to the brotherhood. The futility of calling a strike in the face of such conditions must be obvious to: the brotherhood officials. Until the Brother. Be aa ae THE NEW: YORK AGE WHY THE 8OUTH-8PLIT. A communication bearing the names of five graduate students of Duke Univers- ity, Durham, N.C, which. was printed in the New York Herald Tribune of No- vember 15, purported to give ‘the ‘real reason why the South split over ‘Smith, It was assumed that the ¢lectoral vote of that section could be mortgaged and delivered to any ‘Presidential candidate selected, no matter how much his political beliefs and associations clashed with the fundamental beliefs of Southern Democ- racy., This theory was upset in the re- cent election, when the voters had to choose between their own beliefs on the one hand and the party label on the other. |" As stated in this letter, Governor Smith's candidacy split the South into two-almost equal parts. “He lost North Carolina, Florida, ‘Tennessee, Virginia and Texas, with sixty-two electoral votes. He carried, only South Carolina, Missis- sippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama” and Arkansas, with sixty-four votes. Even in some of these states the opposition was more pronounced than in any previous campaign. The religidus issue is dis- missed, as not being the main factor in the siates which voted against Smith, The significance of the protest lies in the fact that it emanated from within the ranks of the Democratic party. None of the states voting- for Mr. Hoover intended to be- come Republican, but the voters insisted upon free action in expressing their senti- ments at the ballot box. Tt was a declaration of freedom for the South in voting on’national issues, even if it involved the defeat of a tegularly nominated candidate on the Democratic ticket. That is the vital meaning seen fn this revolt of the South against® the Democratic party label, and these voters are commended for their showing of high éourage and intellectual independence. The signers of this declaration of inde. pendence rejoice in the fact that no longer can the electoral votes of the South be counted before the candidates are nomin- ated. This revolt of the independeft South |was parallelled in a lesser, degree by the division of the colored voters in the North. With 2 little more encouragement and a more courageous attinde on the part of the Democratic candidate for the Presi- dency, he might have made greates in- roads ‘among this group of voters. But while he was aggressive to the South on the issue of Prohibition, he was subser- vient on the question of human rights. This failure to speak out boldly lost him his own state, where a change of less than one hundred thousand votes would have carried it into the Democratic column, We are glad that the New South is re- joicing in -its new freedom from “the brass collar of political intolerance.” Such a beatific condition. cannot but extend its blessings to all that dwell below Ma sof and Dixon's line, including the Ne- gro.

Dr. Brown was the preacher. He used as his sermon subject, "Jacob At Bethel," Genesis 28:16-17, and said in part: "An exile from home, feeling from the murderous resentment of an offended, brother, ever canopied by the starlit firmament, remote from human habitation, surrounded by a heathen population on the bleak summit of the Bethel plateau—this wandering son of Isaac makes his evening couch with a stone slab for his pillow, an enblem of many another footsore and dejected traveller upon life's journey. Here he lays desolate, smitten and remorseful, for the swift retribution of his sin had overtaken him. "Jacob, with the scheming and aiding of his mother, had deceived his father, Isaac, and had robbed Esau of his blessing. Hardly had the deed been-performed before it was detected, and Esau in his rage and fury threatened to take the life of Jacob. He fled for his life and immediately started out on his journey from Beerheba to Padran-Aram. We have no account of his experience during the day, but as darkness appeared, we found him, toiling up the rugged hills of Bethel, tired and footsore." At the close four persons united with the church, Among the visitors present was Bishop J. S. Caldwell. Dr. Brown also preached to the junior congregation at 10:30 a.m. His sermon subject was "Example of Parents." Church School convened at 2 o'clock. J. C. Price Lyceum was held at 4 p. m. At 8 p. m.

Tabbs, vice-president; Mrs. Bertha Harris, president of Young People's Society, and Mrs. Emma P. Adams, superintendent of supply department. Sussex Church of Harlem The service at Grace Church was well attended on Sunday morning to hear Dr. Garner's sermon on "Congregationalism." "Congregationalism," as told us by Dr. Garner, means a bigger and broader Christianity. It onens the doors of the church to the poor and the lowly, extends a welcoming hand to sinners—no matter to what depths they have sunk they are never too low to be reclaimed according to the broader Christianity of Congregationalism. The choir was out in full force and their fine singing was enjoyed by all present at the morning service. The choir is planning a fine service, for Thanksgiving morning-Grace Church choir is invited to sit at the New Merrick Park Community Church at Jamaica, L. I. next Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. Church School convened at 1:15 p.m. with a full quota of teachers and pupils in attendance. W. Herbert King is superintendent. The Graccandi 'Club, which is composed of the younger church "Group" had charge of the evening service and gave an interesting program as follows. Introduction of president, Miss Stephanie Davis; history of the club, by Miss Erinnie Taylor; introduction of leader, William Elleger; piano solo, Miss Irene Mallett; original poems, Byron Marshall; harp solo, Mr. Swainton; discussion, "Personal Conviction on Following-the-Crowd" tenor solo, Carrington 'Lewis; original poems, Miss Stephanie Davis; vocal doct. Misses Irene Mallett and Miss Stephanie Davis. Much credit is to be given to the young people for the high character of their program. The sixth annual bazaar, which ran from November 12 to 17, was a success both from a financial and a "get-together" point of view. Much credit is due to all the committees. The Gracodisc Club has chosen Mrs. Elizabeth H. Davis and Edgar N. Parks to represent them at the Young People's Conference. The Day Nursery of Grace Church has outgrown itself, so that an extension in the form of a kindergarten has been formed, with Miss Stobart in charge. To meet the cost of the expense of the kindergarten, Miss Stobart is planning to hold hot roll and pie sales (homeward). every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon at 6 p. m. The prayer service on every Wednesday evening at 8:30 p. m. is still drawing interest in the study of the "Life of Christ." Percy W. Bean is in charge of the Every-Member Canvas. Mrs. Eva T. Parks will act as hostess to the workers on that occasion. Elizabeth H. Davis, church secretary. 2nd 7th Day Adv. Church "The spirit of true prayer among church folks is on the wave," said pastor Strachan last Saturday morning as he began his eleven o'clock discourse. The minister took his text from Acts 2:42-43, which reads: "And they continued steadfastly in the Apostle's Doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread and in prayers." Continuing, the speaker said: "We moderns have lost that spirit of devotion and earnest prayer. The dominant spirit of the early Christian church was the prayer spirit. The founders of the Christian church set us an example in daily temple prayers, and daily house to house prayers. "The Jews in the time of Christ were a praying people. They daily breathed an atmosphere of prayer. Many of those prayers may have been vain and formal utterances, nevertheless the habit was a good one, and the pioneers of the Christian faith inherited it. The continual mood of those early believers was prayer. "We moderns have turned aside from that mood and that spirit of prayer. "Oh, what a blessed thing it would be if all Christians could bend their knees in prayer, reproaching themselves, and at the same time pitying and forgiving others! Oh, that they could say their prayers in humility, and with a deep sense of their own worthlessness, rather than nursing in the breast a rancor over some injury received". Moun: Olivet Baptist Church The morning service at Mr. Olivet Baptist Church was well attended Sunday, November 18th. The pastor chose for his text, Heo 64, "Ephraim what shall I do unto thee? O Judah what shall I do unto thee? For your goodness is as a morning cloud and as the early dew, it goeth away." Subject, "Inconstancy in Religion." The two Bible classes met and the subject for the Philathea Class was "What determines the value of man?" The discussions were interesting and lively. In absence of the president and the teacher, the secretary, Mrs. L. A. Coleman, taught the class. The B. Y. P. U. program was under auspices of the juniors. Miss Marguerite - Emanuel supervised. The program was well rendered. Money was raised for the purpose of moving Miss Grace Branch, who has worked with the young people for many years, uptown, near the church. The amount of $123.3 was raised and presented to her. This act on the part of the juniors is very commendable. The Ladies, Southern Beneficial League was the guest at the evening service. The pastor's text was from Genesis 11:31-32, "And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot, the son of Harah, his son's son, and Sarai, his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife and they went forth with them from Ur of the Charles, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran and dwelt there. And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran." The theme of his discourse was "Courage and Ambition." He explained how many yews He explained how many young men who start out in life with an WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH --- ambition, having made great sacrifice to get degrees and finish their courses of study, becoming discouraged or otherwise losing ambition from impatience; are found standing around doing, nothing'. The Southern League presented to the church the amount of $43.70 Total raised for the day $1,349.31 Salem M. E. Church Dr. H. Lorenzo King, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, preached two stirring sermons at Salem Church last Sunday. The attendance at both services was excellent and Dr. King took advantage of this fact to drive home some powerful truths. A short musical program was given at the Lyceum by members of the Watkins School of Music. Instrumental solos, duets and a quartet were the main features. Meadames Vaughn and Purnell read papers on timely topics. William Battles, former president of the North Harlem Community Council made a short talk. The Junior Department of the League had charge of the services. A program of special interest to the young people was given. 18th parish CHICJC1-240 W 14th St. Sunday School 15th St. Sunday School Second Sunday each month.

Church "Love, for the Nation" was the theme of the pastor's sermon at St James on Sunday morning, November 18, following a splendid session of the Church school, and a gratifying series of musical offerings in honor of the Schubert Centenary Memorial. The sermon stressed the fact of patriotism as a social virtue and righteousness as its chief aim, rather than selfish power. The children's sermon was a message in music in which the pastor, Rev. Dr. William L. Ims introduced Mrs. Margaret Kennedy Upshur, pianist, Bachelor of Music from Howard University, Mrs. Upshur gave a beautiful rendition of Liszt's transcription of Schuberts immortal song, "Dub the dick Ruh."

Numerous organizations and benevolent societies were present with tributes of respect telling of the great business, political and Christian work in which the late Miss Harper engaged.

Rush Memorial Church "The Church—A Distributor of Light" (Matthew S. 5:14) was the theme of the sermon preached by Rev. F. R. Douglas, pastor of Rush Memorial Church, Sunday morning at the eleven o'clock service. The minister described the various kinds of lights, the artificial means of illuminating the world, but declared that the Spiritual light, the true light of intelligence, the light that has done so much for the up-building of mankind is distributed by the church, and its rays are so illuminating, so penetrating, that the reflection can be seen everywhere. This light is a gift of our Father to the children of men, and we must let our light so shine that our good works can be seen readily by the people who sit in darkness. At eight o'clock, the senior choir presented the first of its monthly musicals, to be held the Third Sunday evening in each month. A large and appreciative audience attended. It is expected that a larger and better program will be rendered next month. Next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, Dr. Douglas will preach. Special music will be rendered by the senior choir under the direction of Noble Ross, chorister, and Leonard Matthews, organist. Three persons united with the church last Sunday, Dr. Douglas' ability as an evangelistic preacher is widely known, and his sermons are always full of inspiration and hope. St. Martin's Chapel The attendance at the morning and night service was larger than usual. Rev. John H. Johnson preaching at both services. The music by the choir is worthy of praise, and there is a continual improvement both in tone and attack. At the night service we had as our guest the Bermuda Benevolent Society and many of their friends, Rev. Johnson preached from the text: "Whatsover a man soweth, that shall he also reap". Rev. Johnson spoke 'particularly about the many scents' and 'cults that are springing up all around us and their attack upon the priesthood. Here we must distinguish the true from the false, and be able to know the difference between true and false religions, Christian and non-Christian. He made it plain that the priesthood as a body compare favorably, if not superior, to all other professions and the morale is, high. Many of the cults and sects are unchristian in that they are exclusive." St. Paul Bapt Church Tuesday night, for the first time, the choir had opportunity to get at its work, and they went at it in real earnest. Wednesday night, the B. Y. P. U. under Miss J. E. Booker's group, had out a large number, with the features of the evening being the opening of topic by Miss L. F. Booker, and an address by Rev. Mr. Bowden; assistant curate of St. Philips' P. E.

For Tickets and General Information, write: BUSINESS MANAGER, Board of Athletic Control, Howard University, Washington, D. C. After an absence of more than a year from the cinder path, Gus Moore, former P. S. A. L. champion long distance runner, came back Sunday. November 18, to win the senior A. A. U. cross-country championship, run over, the six-mile course at Van Cortland Park. Moore fairly outclassed his field and finished a good 200 yards in front of the second runner. His time was 21 minutes, 20 and 1.5 seconds. He succeeds Willie Ritola, who took the title from R. Earl Johnson of Pittsburgh, as the cross-country champion. He is the first local color- boy, to win a national title in this league of the sport. The new champion's athletic career began about six years ago when as a member of the Boys' High School of Brooklyn, he won several titles. He also starred as a member of the track team of the University of Pittsburgh, where he received his collegiate training. His fight on Sunday was the best of his career as he outran the best cross-country runners in the country. His victory was something of a surprise to the experts. Moore has always been slender and frail-looking and many of his friends did not believe he had the endurance to win the six mile race. Moore is now running for the Brooklyn Harriers Despite the dismissal of Coach W. E. Morrison at Lincoln University, plans for the Thanksgiving classic between Lincoln and Howard are being completed, and the game will be played as planned. Dr. Morrison succeeded the late 'Lissy' Young as coach at Lincoln, is said to have incurred the disfavor of the faculty and student body because of the poor showing the team has made this season. After holding the strong N C Aggies, to a 0.0 tie score in the first game, Lincoln lost games to Hampton, Morgan College and several smaller schools. It was also charged that Dr. Morrison failed to carry The sensational dual victory of Edwards and Lerner creates what is believed to be a record for a New York college. It is the fifth time this season that two Violet runners have finished in a tie for first place. Although this is Edwards' first season as a cross country runner he has shown spectacular improvement since the beginning of the season. Coach Emil Von Elling is much pleased with the records N. Y. U. has made on the cinder path, under the leadership of the colored star Kid Chocolate, At Crest of Popularity, Scores K. O. Victory Kid Chocolate, the most popular Negro fighter since the days of George Dixon and Joe Gans, has been defeating all comers since coming to this country from his native Cuba a few months ago, but it is out a part of his contract in promoting general physical education at Lincoln. His contract called for a salary of $2,500 and would have expired in August but he was paid the full amount when his service was discontinued. He left last week for N. A. where he will resume the practice of dentistry. He declared that he will never coach again. T. C. Myers, a former backfield star on the Lincoln team, has been appointed coach for the balance of the season. He is making strenuous efforts to reorganize the team for the Howard game. Everything is in readiness for the football classic of the season. Howard vs. Lincoln at Griffith Stadium, Washington, D. C., on Thanksgiving Day November 29. From all reports, alumni and friends from all sections of the country are expected to be present. The Howard team, with a record of six victories to one defeat, looms as the overwhelming favorite this year. Their only defeat came at the hands of the powerful West Virginia Collegiate Institute team. The Bisons have defeated such strong teams as Atlanta, Fisk and Morehouse. Lincoln's Poor Season Lincoln, on the other hand, has had a poor season, their only victory so far being registered against Shaw. The athletic authorities at Lincoln have recently secured a new coach and he is making every effort to build up a strong defensive team for the game. But as one alumnus remarked the other day, alumni and friends of these two school attend this game not so much for the game itself but for the social functions associated with it. The probable line-up of the two teams will be as follows Howard Position Lincoln Simpson L. E. Allen Webb L. T. Hill B. Brown L. G Scott Hayes C Young Drew R G Robinson Selton R. T Douglass Sallie R. E. Lowe Payne Q Jackson Marshall L H Morton (cept) Coles R H Clark Ross (cept) F Harmon But on Monday night, before a crowd of 4,000 fans, at the St. Nicholas Arena, he scored a clean knockout over Jackie Schweitzer, a leading contender for the bantamweight title, in the sixth round of a scheduled ten round bout. The end of the onesided bout came in the closing seconds of the sixth, when Schweitzer collapsed and crumpled like an empty sack near the ropes in a neutral corner, after Chocolate had pumped in three left hooks to his opponent's heart. The final blow was a comparatively light left hook, but Schweitzer was so exhausted and battered from the punching he had received four rounds that he fell as though he had been struck with some weapon. He was still sprawled flat of his back and twining in the rosin dust long after the knockout count had been completed. Schweitzer was dragged to his corner and it required several minutes of frantic work by his seconds before he could be led to the dressing room. Chocolate wore down his opponent slowly but surely with a brainy and relentless attack. He won the first round by a narrow margin, in creasing the margin a little more with each round. The weights were Chocolate, 120, and Schweitzer, 120% pounds. The referee was Jed Gahns, and the judges eorge Kelly and Billy Jacobs Licorish Playing At Leading Keith-Albee New York Theatres Lincoln Ljcorish, the 24 year old Negro quartermaster, who was the outstanding of the Vestris, is making personal appearances at the leading Keith-Aibee theatres of New York City this week, telling the story of the great sea disaster. He appeared at the Palace and Hippodrome on Saturday and Sunday and was given big ovations by the audiences. Black Carl, Former Vaudeville Star, Suffers Breakdown Carl Johnson, well known to members of, the theatrical profession, and patrons of the Metropolitan Opera House as "Black Carl". It is in a critical condition at Bellevue Hospital as a result of a nervous breakdown which he suffered a few days ago. In recent years, Black Carl had been employed as a trusted messenger boy by a large brokerage firm in Wall street. In addition to his work here during the day, he had been for twenty-four years head carriage man at the night performances and Saturday matinees of the Metropolitan Opera House. Friends attribute his breakdown to overwork, dude largely to increased duties in connection with the heavy trading in Wall street stocks. Two days before he was taken to the hospital, he asked leave for a few days, declaring that his 'nerves were all shot' and that he was going to see a doctor. It was after seeing a physician that he collapsed unconscious at the corner of 132nd street and Seventh avenue while talking to Jesse A. Shipppe. Johnson is a native of Kansas City and came East with Williams and Walker. Later he played on the vaudeville stage and also entertained as a magician Coles and Marshall Star As Howard Defeats Fisk, 7-0 3,500 Fans Present As Howard Outclasses Fisk Washington, D. C.-Howard defeated Fisk in a hard fought game here Saturday, November 17. The score was 7-0. It was Howard's game throughout except the Fisk threat in the first part of the third quarter. In the second quarter Howard carried the ball to within scoring distance with brilliant end runs and off tackle plays by Coles and Marshall, Ross hitting off tackle for the touchdown from Fik's three yard line, Payne kicking for the extra point. Three times Howard carried the ball to within striking distance when the Fisk defense stuffed, once taking the ball on the fourth down and two other times intercepting forward passes from the line. In the fourth quarter Howard had another chance to core when Payne's drop kick from the 10 yard line failed Both teams showed splendid fight while Howard clearly outplayed their opponents in every stage of the game. The outstanding players were Coles, and Marshall in the back field, and Harry Webb on the line for Howard. The outstanding players for Fisk were Brooks, End, and Tornhorn, Quarter, both on defense. Fisk's only first down in the first half was made in a brilliant end run by Yost. Their other three first downs were gained in succession from the kick off in the second half. The crowd was estimated at about 3,500.

Ilis offerings included "Die Krahe” ("The Crow”), "Die Post” (The Post"), "Die Nebensonnen" ("The Mock Suns") and “Wohin?” (Whither™). > x " Gn Sunday, there were some $9,000 churches in this country which incorporated into their services sonte recognition of the Schubejt-cen-| tenary .

Then Mr. Imes, through, courtesy of Dr: Charlton, presented Mrs. Marguerite Kennerly Upshur, pianist, a graduate from Howard. University.Conseryatory with degree of bachelor of music, who played the Franz Liszt piano transcription of Schubert's famous song, “Du bist die Ruh’ (“My Sweet Repose”). ‘Mrs. Upshur, who also sings contralto in the church choir, played, with a delicacy ‘of? totich and a refinement of ~interprétation, that Brought out the“unusual beauty of this ‘charming’ mélodj. 2 The other Schubert inemorabilia presented by Dr. Charlton were} the offertory numbers, “Litany for all Souls Day” sung with fine. effect by Benjamin J. Ragédale, baritone. soloist, and the beautiful "Ave Mari,” sung by Doris Trotman, soprano soloist, whose voice, with its| velvety and golden timbre, was heard with appreciation by the large congregation. +4 Born in Vienna, Austria, in 1797, the son of a peasant schoolmaster, the boy Schubert was taught violin and voice by a lé¢pl’ choirmaster,| and_was.only 16 when he wrote hia ‘first Symphony. He began, at 17, to display remarkable facility in the writing of songs, and before he was 18 had written 144 songs, oné of the number being that tremendous masterpiece, “Erlkonig” (""The Erlking”), the singing of, which is alike the ambition and the despair ofboth meh and Womer—baritones, coh-| traltos and a few. Sopranos. : - ‘The brilliant musician died in’1828, having written some 600 songs, ten Symphonies, several overtures, and much piano and chamber music, operas, etc. +I1 is said that Schubert lived somewhat of a Bohemian hie, never niarrying, and most of the time without funds. ‘To show how unproductive, financially, his efforts were, it is reported that he sold some of his best songs for 20 cents cach. When he died, the many Mss. which he left were valued by public officials at $1250, but ths music afterwards made the fortiines of several publishers. — - And, conGary-to the-usual-conalitions, this-does: not mean that his songs and piano music were not appreciated during his lifetime. | Brief as as his span—he was-juct 31 when he died—he hod already been bailed 23 2 genius by Continental critics, and his “Erking” had taken the public by storm, particularly in Austriavand @rinany.

An article in the Boston Musical Report, January, 1841, gave an analytical digest of Sehubert’s works which had been translated from the German, hailing him:as-a. "genies in -the.ait.of- song."

TODAY Lending School of New and THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES A SIDE VIEW OF SOME OF THE HEAVY ARTILLERY AT THE P. P. B. A. CONVENTION Chicago will be the same as speak like they the heavy artillery of the Negro division of the Pullman service army will roll. By the time this article goes to press the business for which the mobilization was called will be in full swing. The business of this gathering is the annual convention of the Pullman Porters Benefit Association of America, which boasts a membership of over 9,000 Negro workers. This year's convention is the association's eight since its formation and the month since its incorporation under the Illinois beneficial and fraternal societies law. Those who will take active part in the convention sessions are the officers of the association and the delegates elected by the association's local lodges, which are scattered throughout the country. The latter representatives are elected by popular vote from among the membership of their respective districts. As said, the officers and delegates to this gathering are the heavy artillery, or big guns, of the Negro section of the Pullman service army. This description is figurative, to be sure, but in a sense it is literal. The employees who will sit in the sessions of this meeting are among the most substantial in the Pullman employment. But by no means must it be thought that these are so termed because they hold-official and semi-official positions in the Pullman service. Some of them are ordinary porters, so far as position goals, but they are also termed the "big guns," for not only are they representative of the best type of Pullman porters, but they are substantially representatives of the race in the communities in which they live. For a concrete example of this, the name of E. C. Roundtree, who represents the Grand Central Terminal district at the convention, might be mentioned. Mr. Roundtree doesn't lay claim to any vocation other than that of porter, yet in Boston he is one of the solid Negro citizens of that city. And, it may be mentioned in passing, this substantiality is not evaluated merely on the grounds of his having race pride and all that sort of stuff, but it is merited largely by virtue of his financial thrift. Among those of official connections who might be mentioned as "big guns," are Perry Porter of Cincinnati; T. A. Crenshaw of St. Louis; T. M. Blinton of Philadelphia; S. J. Preman of New York, I. F. Smith of Chicago; R. L. Williams of San Francisco; James Saxton of New Orleans; P. A. Pena. Terminal district, and J. M. Brown of Jersey City. The last named employee, like Mr. Roundtree, has no official connection with the company other than porter, but he is vice-chairman of the association's board of directors, and is also a substantial real estate owner in his home city. There are other reasons for referring to these men as the heavy artillery. Take, for instance, the case of Perry Parker. What Mr. Parker did for the Pullman Company during the late war and also for a host of Negro workers who wanted to leave the South, few Negroes would have had the tenacity to do. Any number might have been found to do what he did if they could have directed the operation from a safe distance, say, from New York, Chicago or Boston, but to go in the heart of the South during that labor marital period, and corral Negro workers, was a job that required nerve and plenty of it. Perry Parker deserves to be called a "big gun" in the other places besides the Pullman service. Then there is T. A. Greenshaw. Our reason for placing him in this category is due, we confess, to a small incident. We once received from him one of the best dicated business letters that we have ever recalled having received from either a white man or a colored man. He said in twenty words what it usually takes, the average business man to say in fifty. His letter was a model for tensems. Almost everybody in the New York and the Penn. Terminal districts know P. A. Sample and S. J. Freeman. For smoothness of disposition and ability to cope with the duties of their positions, there is no overcrowded field of men whose characteristics fit them so well for their jobs as these two men. Both are above the average Negro in intelligence. In fact, Mr. Sample has had the advantage of considerable scholastic training, some of which was secured as a student for two years in a well-known Eastern law school. Therefore, nothing should stand in the way of this year's convention being the association host. And, by the way; some of the porters are saying that while in Chicago the heavy artillery might indulge in a little target practice. The target, they explain, is the management, and the practice is to find out when is the rumored raise to begin. Picked Up Around Grand Central Terminal J. A. Dawkins, after a two weeks visit to his father in Union, S. C., has returned to his home in North Adams, Mass. Although over 80 years old Mr. Dawkins said, his father was enjoying fairly good health for a man of that age. Joe Price, the favorite porter of the aristocrat who travel between New York and Albany, and Roland Adams, the realty operator of Jersey City, left New York Saturday over the Pennsylvania lines for their annual trip South with the Millenk party a family owning cotton mills all through the Carolinas and other Southern States.

To The General Public The 369th Infantry regrets to announce that it was found necessary to postpone the review which was to be held at the Armory, 30 West 143rd street, New York City, on Monday, November 19, in honor of Bear Admiral Louis M. Josephthal, commanding the New York Naval Militia. The sudden illness of Admiral Josephthal, occurring on Friday preceeding the review, made the postpone sent necessary. A Golonel William A. Taylor, commanding officer of the regiment, is making plans for another review to be held in the near future; and it is hoped that the general public will find it possible to attend.
