Lawton Wins Position As Vice-President of Republican Organization, Beating Mrs. Brawner Office Carries Leadership of Women; Geo. H. Wibecan Sponsored Mrs. Brawner's Cause As Against Mrs. Lawton and Mrs. Hunton Despite the fact that she had the support and was nominated by George E. Wibecan, Mrs. Gertrude E. Brawner was defeated by Mrs. M. C. Lawton for the position of vice-president of the Kings County Colored Republican Organization at their annual election on Wednesday evening, January 9. There was more interest displayed in the vice-presidency of the organization than in the presidency, to which Frank Gilbert was re-elected. The presidency of the organization carry with it the county leadership. Mrs. Lawton was nominated by Mrs. Daisy Bly, co-leader of the 11th Assembly District, and one of the first, if not the first colored women to be elected a member of the county committee in Brooklyn. Means Leadership of Women The interest in the vice-presidency, which was held by the late Mrs. Louise M. Fayerweather, was due to the fact that several women were reported to be after it because it carried with it the leadership of the women of Kings County. Mrs. Addie Hunton, president of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs, and who was director of the Colored Women's Eastern Division of the Republican National Committee, was mentioned by some for the position before the election, but she was not present at the election. The mention of her name caused some opposition. It is reported that this opposition was due to the fact that she had not been a member long enough of the county organization. Blamed Mrs. Wibecan. Mr. Wibecan, who has been friendly with Mrs. Hunton, is reported to have become cool in his friendship since the recent campaign. This is alleged to be due to the fact that Alderman Fred R. Moore was one of the speakers at the big mass meeting held by the Kings County Colored Republican Organization, jointly with the Colored Women's Hoover-Curtis League, during the recent campaign. Alderman Moore was present and spoke despite Mr. Wibecan. It is alleged that Mr. Wibecan held Mrs. Hunton responsible for the presence of Mr. Moore. It may be recalled that at this meeting, and there fore made a special effort to be there. Women Opposed Mr. Lawton. It is known that for years that Mr. Wibean has not been a political friend of Mrs. M. C. Lawton, former president of the Empire State Federation, hence he would not support her. Thus with Mrs. Hunton and Mrs. Lawton being the outstanding candidates he swung his influence to Mrs. Brawner, who was defeated by almost a two to one vote. Tablet In Honor of Dean Balloch At Howard Uni Tablet In Honor of Dean Balloch At Howard Uni Washington, D.C.—A bronze tablet was dedicated to Dean Edward A Balloch, with appropriate ceremonies in the auditorium of the medical building of Howard University, Monday evening. The occasion marked the 71st anniversary of the birth of Dean Balloch and his 50th year of service in connection with the Howard University School of Medicine. The project was launched last spring by Miss Louise Young of Balloch and a member of the college class of 1927, and the junior medial class. The plan called for numerous subscriptions of small proportions so as to permit the largest possible number of persons to participate in the tribute. More than 400 people, including men, and friends of the Howard students, members of the faculty, University School of Medicine contributed. The tablet is similar in size and design to the one erected in honor of Dr. Lamb in 1923. The plaque bears the following inscription: 1879-1929 To The Inspiring Unacknowledgement of His Unusualness and Enthusiasm, His Calm and Untiring Service for Train a Century, as Teacher and Dean, We, the Students, Faculty, Summer, and Friends of This School Gratefully Dedicate This Book" In 1879 Dr. Balloch entered the office of the Howard University School of Medicine as demonstration of anatomy Mrs. Lawton was nominated by Mrs. Daisy Bly, co-leader of the 11th Assembly District, and one of the first, if not the first colored women to be elected a member of the county committee in Brooklyn. Benjamin Williams, one of the oldest and best known politicians in the city, seconded the nomination of Mrs. Lawton. There was no opposition to the reelection of Mr. Gilbert as president. Other officers reelected were Charles T. Magill, secretary; Mrs. Isabelle Taylor, assistant secretary; John H. Dickerson, treasurer. The meeting was largely attended. MARY C. TERRELL IS HONORED BY HER ALMA MATER Only Colored Woman Listed In Oberlin Book Of Achievement Washington, D.C.—A great honor has recently been conferred upon Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the first president of the National Association of Colored Women. "The Book of Achievement," recently issued by Oberlin College in honor of a woman "included Mary Church Terrell, who received the degree of A. B. and A. M from her alma mater. "For this year's HI-O-HI," read the letter notifying her of the decision, "we are using as a motif the contribution of Oberlin's alumni to the world. Your name is on a list of one hundred most famous alumni, some of whose pictures we are planning to work into one section of the book. Would it be possible for you to send us a photograph of yourself? Thinking you in advance for your courtesy, I request. Yours very truly, MARIAREE F. HEIMBACH, Alumni Editor." With very distinguished people, therefore, Mrs. Terrell's picture appears, in the beautiful book which has been recently published. Since Oberlin was founded in 1833 and, as therefore nearly one hundred years old, and has graduated hundreds of people, who have distinguished themselves in various ways, this recognition of a colored woman is gratifying indeed to her group. First Colored Woman On Board Mrs Terrrell was the first woman of her race to serve on an American Board of Education. When she resigned, she had served eleven years longer than anybody else had functioned as a member of the board in the National Capital up to that time. At the great Quinquennial International Congress of Women in Berlin, Germany, some years ago Mrs Terrrell achieved distinction, because she was the only delegate of the United States who delivered her address in three languages, English, French and German. When she went as a delegate to the conference of the International League for Peace and Freedom, which was held in Zurich, Switzerland, right after the World War, she was unanimously selected by the delegation to deliver an address as a representative from the United States. On this occasion also she delivere her address in German, because the audience which she addressed was largely composed of Swiss people, who spoke that language. It was Mrs Terrrell who interceded for the colored soldiers who were arouse of shooting up the Texas desert and for her demilitarized without honor by President Roosowelt. She persuaded Chief Justice Taft, who was then Secretary of War, to withhold the order to dismiss them until he could communicate with the President who had gone to Panama. TWO IN LINE-UP ARE ACCUSED IN HOLD-UP RAIDS One Is Charged With Shooting at Policeman Who Made Arrest TWO IN LINE-UP ARE ACCUSED IN HOLD-UP RAIDS One Is Charged With Shooting at Policeman Who Made Arrest There were forty-five prisoners in the line-up at Palace Headquarters Tuesday morning, the most important of those fired and subjected to the scream of the assembled detectives were two Negroes, arrested for holdups. One of them fired two shots at the patrolman who later captured him. A Negro entered the restaurant of Tony Russo, at 22141; Fifth avenue, at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning and ordered a bottle of near beer. After he had been served he drew a 38-calibre revolver instead of money and ordered the proprietor and his twelve patrons into a back room. One of the patrons, Marie Williams, a Negro, ran screaming to the street, Patrolman Sumpter of the West 135th Street Station, came up on the run just as the Negro dashed out of the restaurant and fired a sot at him. The patrolman returned the fire and the Negro sent another bullet after the first. Sumpter kept on with the chase and finally caught the man in front of 144 West 135th street. The prisoner gave his name as, Cyril Edgar of 109 West 143rd street. He was arraigned in Washington Heights Court on a charge of felonious assault. The other prisoner was Henry Coleman of 127 Willowdale avenue, Montclair, N. J. living temporarily at 2262 Seventh avenue. He was charged with haying up Mrs Eva Fay in the hallway of her home, 259 West 152nd street, at 11 o'clock Monday night at the pistol point and taking her handbag containing $41. A little while later a Negro entered the candy store at 2298 Seventh avenue, gun in hand, and took $31 from the cash register. The proprietor set up an outtery and Patrolman Rhodes, a Negro policeman of the West 135th Street Station, arrested Coleman, who was identified as robber of the store. He denied the holdup of Mrs Fay. He, too, was arraigned in Washington Heights Court Postmaster John J. Kiely Renamed For Four Years President Coolidge, on January 12 sent to the Senate the nomination of John J. Kiely as postmaster at New York City for another four year term. The Senate will probably confirm the nomination without delay. Republican National Committeeman Charles D. Hillels endorsed Mr. Kiely for reappointment. Mr. Kiely, who won his way to the top from the ranks, having entered the service in 1858, was superintendent of mails, with rating as assistant postmaster, when the late Postmaster E. N. Morgan died. He was named postmaster in January, 1925 after forty years in the service, having been assistant superintendent of delivery, superintendent of delivery superintendent of mails and assistant postmaster. He is 62 years old. Mr. Kiely has been far and square in his treatment of post office employees in this office, and it was under his administration that Alexander King was made superintendent of a branch post office, the first colored man to occupy that position. And he has also named Aphidus A. Atkins, another colorful man, to an office of a number. A number of Negro post office employees have been promoted to foremands in the post office, and several are reported to be serving as clerks in charge. J.

The child was not allowed to associate with any other children, either white or colored, and had never attended either church or Sunday school Brought Storm of Protest The expose brought a storm of protest, which resulted in action being taken by the Federation of Colored Organizations in New Jersey and the N. A. A. C. P. of New York City. John A. Huggs, president of the New Jersey organization, also a Justice of the Peace, held a conference at his office in Paterson, which was attended by William T. Andrews, attorney for the N. A. A. C. P., Mrs Annie L. Randolph, Paterson welfare worker, and her assistant, Mrs. Violet Anderson Adams, affiliated with the Federation. This group visited the Allen home finding Alsie busy in the kitchen with the pots and pans. After the party had been introduced, Attorney Andrews questioned Mrs. Allen, eliciting the fact that Alsie, a dependent minor, had been brought into the State with the consent of Mr and Mrs Allen, without the formality of filing a bond with the Commissioner of Institutions and Agencies, as required by law. Mr Allen vigorously denied that he was holding the child as a "peon or as a slave." Take Alsie Away. Negro Schools and North Carolina A Under B. N. Dul The North Carolina Co J. E.

The largest bequest was $60,000 to the North Carolina College for Negroes in Durham, of which Dr James E. Shepard is founder and president. It was formerly the National Religious Training School, but large donations made by Mr. Duke during his lifetime, made it possible to extend the curriculum and activities of the institution and brought about the change of name. It is recalled that the Duke fortune was amassed through tobacco and cigarette factories founded and operated by the family, and the majority of employees in these places were Negroes. Many thousands of dollars have been given by the Duke family to aid charities and schools conducted by Negroes in North Carolina. a chair and twisted her thumbs "I don't want to go to school," she sobbed "I want to stay here with Big Missy" "There, there, honey," Mrs. Randolph cooled, taking the child in her arms. The others in the room went out to the front porch and left Mrs Randolph and the child together For half an hour the pair remained alone, and when the procession reentered the home Alsie was all grins "After a week or two," Mrs. Randolph said gently, "If you don't like it we will bring you back home" Ten minutes later the party accompanied by Alsie was speeding toward Paterson. The child wore an enameled breast pin, a gift ent from Santa Claus, in whom she believes devoutly, and she clutched a crisp $1 bill, a present from the Allens. The automobile stopped at a store and Alsie was given a bright-red pocketbook to hold the dollar. Would Not Know Mother Alsie revealed that she actually hda been in New Jersey since she was fifteen, and not since last October as the Allens first said. She "thought" her mother was somewhere in New York, but "I wouldn't know her if I saw her" The church she attended last Sunday morning was the Calvary Baptist, the one to which Mrs Randolph belongs. Some day, Alsie is going to be baptised in her faith just so "old Nick won't get her" The school she attended Monday is Pubish School No 13 at East 22nd and 15th avenue, Paterson, a few blocks from Mrs Randolph's home Please have your news items in by Tuesday morning of each week.

Uncle Carl was born in Rockingham County near the county courthouse but before the Civil War was sold to a trader, who carried him into Mississippi.

Immediately, declared the mayor, he ordered that the first three men on the list be named, and that no discrimination because of color would be tolerated. Denouncing intolerance, Mayor Walker said he would always be for fair play and a square deal, and he assured Dr. Wright that the appointment was made because of the sheer merit and ability displayed by the appointee. Reference was made to the service rendered the sick poor of the community through his services at Harlem Hospital but the city head said that even without having rendered all service, Dr. Wright would have been appointed on the strengths of his splendid civil service rating. To Improve Seventh Avenue. A promise from the mayor, that brought an enthusiastic response was that he planned having Seventh avenue in Harlem, made into one of the city's most imposing boulevards. Work toward that end, he said, has already been started. Dr. Wright, modestly but frequently, responded to the mayor, and assured his hearers that he would render to all people the very best service of which he is capable. As a memento of the occasion, Dr. Wright was presented an expensive Swiss wrist watch, created in white gold, with an inscription stating that it was a token of appreciation from citizens of Harlem. Clarence Tisdale, tenor, was in charge of the musical program, and in addition to singing several other numbers himself, he sang Mayor Jimmy, Walker's own song, "Will you love me in December as you did in May?" When Tisdale had the men on one side of the room sing the song, the resulting effort was of such slight proportions that Mayor Walker laughingly commented that "They must all be Republicans." But when the whole group united in the song, he became so enthused, it is reported, that he sat himself at the piano and led the singing. Orchestra's from some of the upstown clubs and cabarets were present and played during the dinner List of Invited Guests.

Mr. Holstein made a fitting response and pledged himself to put the lodge on a strictly business basis and to continue to push the building and he had done since he became head of the building committee. Mr. Holstein spoke in part as follows: After a lapse of twenty years, I am called on by you to preside over the deliberations of Monarch Lodge and to take over the reins of management. I shall strive to make my administration one that Monarch Lodge would back to in after years with great pride and esteem. I shall endeavor to cement more firmly the ties of fraternal affection among our brothers. I shall try to encourage the spirit of loyalty that will bring Monarch Lodge to the high standard of fraternal affairs which it should enjoy. I shall urge, and I am urging you, to Monarch Lodge of that hyphenated loyalty, which has fulfilled mark before it, for Monarch Lodge must not be exploited by any of its members. A Building Monument. There stands today at 124 to 130 West 138th street a true example of the Monarch spirit, a monument which will stand as an inspiration not only to Monarch Lodge and our group at today, but also to those who were there in the closes—and poisonous propaganda which was broadcasted by our mercenary and exploiting members had its deadly effect. It seeped into the minds of our weak members. It polluted the sacred walls of Monarch Lodge. It cast a reflection of the infuriating sympathizers and supporters from among the public. It left a ghastly trail in its wake. Not on account of, but in spite of this vicious group of members in Monarch Lodge, this great and gigantic undertaking is an accomplished fact, and today Monarch Lodge stands as the sole owner of this most modern apartment building which is the answer to those who said it could not be done. Too much credit cannot be given the members of the Building Board, for the head erect, and shoulder to shoulder, the small group of Monarch members worked faithfully, honestly and untimely with the thought ever before them that the ideals and traditions of Monarch Lodge must be upheld, and shall not trail in the dust. What a great contrast between this group of members whose labors are of love and remunerative, and the other group which represents a more passive, and which has nothing to offer except for money! The former shall live on in the minds of Monarch's members and go down to posterity. The latter has but a few ones on the earth, a looked on with sorn and contempt Monarch Lodge has no place for such members Honesty Must Prevail. With the system of proper business withentwined with honesty, Monarch Lodge will take its place in the front rank of fraternal organizations. Every member must strive to this end.

Monarch Lodge of Elks, No.45, Enthusiastically Endorses Casper Holstein-as Candidate For G.E.R Rescinds Its Former Endorsement of J. Finley Wilson, as Lodge Gives New Exalted Ruler An Unprecedented Ovation its honesty. The virtue of honesty must always stand out in bold relief before the eyes of every member. There shall be no place on Monarch's program for dishonest members. The sooner this is realized the better it will be for all concerned. Today Monarch Lodge through its building program is placed very high in the business market. It can and is getting credited this because of the honest business merit by the Building Board. The business interests with whom we have dealt astest this, and Monarch's Lodge should feel proud. Now as never before the common cause of Monarch Lodge calls for a harmonious and united effort, and there should be no bucketing in our ranks. There are many other parliaments, and loyalty; but how often does it happen that profession mocks performance. The test of our parliaments to the Lodge is the extent to which we as individual members will go in sinking, our private preferences for the common interest, our spirit of devotion to the general interest of Monarch Lodge that I am appealing to you.

Dr. Oliver then presented the following motion That Monarch Lodge goes on record as presenting and endorsing Casper Holstein as a candidate for the office of Grand Exalted Rule of the P O E W W.

FERRIS Official Reporter of Bishop's Council Louisville, Ky.—Broadway Temple A. M. E. Zion Church was named the official for Livingston College, Thursday night, January 10 Bishop W. W. Matthews, chairman of the Board of Bishops, presided and introduced as first speaker Dr Charles Religion, the Presbyterian Theological Seminary of Louisville, Ky. Dr. Pratt said in part "There are three things the Negro should do. He should reverence personality; he should produce saints, not only should we produce saints, but we must also produce scholars, the greatest difficulty the colored people face is an ignorant leadership which cannot be handled the hour. When we face the radio, the movie, the automobile, and day after tomorrow the flying machine, the church is put up against greater problems than it has ever faced before." To produce saints and scholars, we need the highest standards." Bishop Jones Speaks Bishop Matthws called upon Bishop E. D. W. Jones to respond to the address of the distinguished scholar and he ably vindicated the black man's higher aspirations. Bishop Jones said, "Through our work, we are pressing our heart throbs, wishes and desires. In our sermons and songs, we are trying to imitate the best examples and, to realize, our best solves. The fact that all of our bishops have paid in full their pledges to Livingston College education, now they regard Negro education." Dr Wm. J. Trent, president of Livingstone College, said in part "Livingston College has been in Salisbury, N. C., for 47 years and none of its students have ever been raised in cash and pledges $172,000 towards our $250,000. We must raise $76,000 more by June 5, 1929. If the A. M. E. Zion Church will raise $50,000 by June, I will see that the school will get $20,000. Bishop F. M. Jacobs has given $1,500 to this fund. Other bishops have given $1,500 or $1,000 Dr W. H.

Y. Telephone Company During The Year The largest plant construction program in the history of the New York Telephone Company, calling in 1929 for $90,000 in 1929, is indicated in the provisional estimates for the year, according to an announcement made by J. S. McCullah, president. This compares with nearly $71,000,000 expended in 1928. About two-thirds of the New York City, where 7,700,000 daily telephone calls originate. "These expenses," Mr. McCullah states, are planned to provide adequately in advance for the signified growth in the already enormous equipment the police in the state of New York is that part of connection served by this company. The estimates cover the necessary gross outages in 1929 for land, utilities, swimmers, boats, and the various outage equipment that make up the telephone plant. In the program both for 1929 and for the four-year period now beginning, condominous peace is given to the replacement and improvement of central once equipment, the election to augment or outbuilds to move this part of the general plant, and the addition of auxiliary facilities. The estimated expenditures for land, buildings and central once equipment alone is $500,000 in 1929 and nearly $500,000 in five years. For these purposes, more than $500,000 in 1929 and more than $500,000 in five years will be applied in new York City, where the plans include the net replacement or method of the close of 1929 and equipment by the close of 1929 and the one-year period, it is expected that this conversion will be pricably complete in Manhattan, and that two-thirds of the telephones in Brooklyn, more than one-third of the in the Bronx, and more than two-thirds of the telephones in the whole who will be served from dial-up (15 presen- 2/ per cent of the city's telephones are thus server). Important improvements in toll switchboard equipment and methods in New York City are included in the five-year program. These will help the company to place directly with the local operator, as in the case of local calls, those station-to-station toll calls on which the number is given. An extensive toll line construction program, including several joint calls, will be implemented with the telephone and Telegraph Company, involves expenditures by the New York Telephone Company at $7,500,000 in 1929 and $30,000,000 in the five-year period. By the end of the company's 95th anniversary of the company's telephones, as compared with 90 per cent at present, will be connected with the toll cable system which, with storm-proof cable and other improvements is designed to increase *incubity and speed in toll and long distance service. The major toll cable projects include the construction of an underground conduit route 190 miles long, the construction of City to Albany and Sebastianet, this City to Albany and Sebastianet, far as Catskill in 1929. Another underground conduit route is projected between New York City and Stamford. Conn. enlarging the service area of the New England points. The Albany to Saskatoon section of a cable route to Montreal is scheduled for completion this year, as is also the Sebastianet to Syracuse portion of a through route to Montreal. Other cable routes to be completed in the year period will extend from New York City to Syracuse by way of Banghamton, and also through the latter city to Buffalo by way of EI. Improved toll facilities will be provided to Catskill Mountain points. And INVESTMENTS 2303 SEVENTH AVENUE New York Bradhurst 1048 Mme.

Negro Physicians To Ask Mayor For Investigation Of Conditions At Harlem Hospital And School A committee of Harlem physicians will wait on Mayor James J. Walker in the next few days to demand a sweeping investigation of conditions at Harlem Hospital. This desire for an investigation came as a result of the failure of the Medical Board of the Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, of which Harlem is a part, to recommend the reappointment of Dr. Godfrey Nurse of 185 West 135th street to the surgical staff. According to Dr. Nurse, he is being dropped from the hospital staff because of the personal hospitality of the surgical director, Dr. John F. Connors. Dr. Nurse has not been told why he was not recommended for reappointment. Ashland Place Girls Register To Attend The Youth Conference He points out that the only grounds on which a member of the staff may be dismissed are insubordination and inefficiency.

Wright, president. A few years ago Dr Nurse led the night for colored internets at his hospital, and as spokesman for the committee of physicians, he made some pointed remarks to the Medical Board, of which Dr. Connors is a member.

He said that the trustees had not acted on way or the other in the case Dr. Nurse, and he made no statement until after such action had been taken. Whatever action was taken, concluded, he did not know the people of the neighborhood to feel that color had anything to do with the decision. Dr. Nurse stated to a representative of The Age that a member of the Medical Board told him he had been recommended for dismissal and when he asked Dr Rapp about it, he superintendent told him it could be fixed up by Dr Nurse going to see Dr. Connors He had been advised not to do Dr. Nurse says Normal Enrollment At Tennessee A. & I.

White Plains 7805 Come forth, my fraternal brothers and sisters, and let us pat ourselves on the back (in this paragraph) and pride ourselves as being the largest organization supported by NegFeos, financially and otherwise. Let us look at our line of march that will encircle New York City, which includes lawyers, doctors, and men and women from every walk of life. Let us say to Mr. Grosso, "If Mr. Grosso cannot be organized (using the slang of the street) "look us over, look us over." So much for being organized, or, in other words, getting together. Now, as I have said, we have a long line of march. Each group carries in its hand the staff of life—a bank book which has more to its credit than mere figures. But, really to where are we marching? Are we marching by the white man's bank leaving thousands of dollars and letting his dole out to the peninsula interest while he takes the life of our money, invests it in stocks, and bonds, which enriches himself and keeps us paupers? Why can't we have a bank of our own? Of course some of us who are not quite so optimistic might say that money has been deposited in Negro banks and the banks failed. There have been self-styled leaders thinking they could run a bank who have squandered "millions of dollars of Negroes" hard-earned money. But this has been more the result of depositors than the bank officials. In some states whenever a bank felt that he wanted a bank, he simply rented a building accessible to suckers holding a big bank roll, engraved a big "bank" sign on the window, and proceeded to rake in the cash. The personnel of the bank consisted of "himself." A few thousand dollars later, the personnel bought a limousine and made such display as befitted a rich man and his family. He never had to give an account to anybody. In some cases a crash the meager savings of hard working men and women were lost. It is almost impossible for a thing like that to happen in the State of New York. The state banking laws are too rigid. In the first place, in this state, before a bank can be opened the state banking officials must be assured that the people's money is well protected by an amount of money necessary to open a bank. In the next place, the state must be assured that presidents and cashiers of bank are efficient and capable of handling the people's money. Bank officials cannot be selected merely because they are popular in the community. This fact was demonstrated a few years ago when a well known business man from the South tried to open a bank in New York City. He came up with a purchase a building, install fixtures as made other external demonstration that money would be safe in his bank, but the state bank regulations could not be fully complied with. Hence, the bank was never opened to the public. Our fraternal organizations have the money. Let the fraternal organizations have a bank. It would not only be an asset to the fraternality, but an asset to the race. It is true that we pay our sick and bury our dead. But when we learn that many people are in our way, we will not have to pay so many sick people and bury so many dead. The houses that the most of HELLO EVERYBODY STARR HAWLEY Announcing STATION V. T.

REAPPORTIONMENT. the matter of reapportionment came and work in Congress and was met by the passage of the Fenn Bill by the use of Representatives. This measure would for reapportionment of repre- sition after the next census in 1930. The House fails to act after the new state on population are collected, the subordinates that the Secretary of Com- pany shall make the changes upon which conservation in Congress and the Elect- College is based. It is estimated that the probable effect of reapportionment will reduce the representation of New York State by one million. Despite this anticipated loss, New York representatives, Republicans and Democrats, voted almost solidly for the bill. Congress, since the center of 1920, has steadily refused to make reapportionment called for under that plan. It was estimated that a shift of twenty-three seats would have been necessary under the new figures of population, and none of the states was willing to consider any. Under that apportionment many of the Western states would be gained in representation while the rest would lose. Under the Fenn bill, if Congress avoids any duty of reapportionment representation for the census is taken, the Secretary of Commerce shall calculate the number of members to which each state is entitled to make the necessary distribution. Apportionment is also due in the matter of electing representatives to the New York Legislature, the redistribution being been neglected since the last state administration. Under the last census, New York county showed a loss of population, county showed a loss of population, Brooklyn and Queens would gain in State senators and Assemblymen, did not suit the purposes of the last administration to reduce the representation of New York county, so the bill for reapportionment was either vetoed or its passage blocked. As the reapportionment of the state is frequently made the occasion of gerrymandering districts, so as to make them suitable for one party or the other, it is well in the voters to exercise the utmost vigor in scrutinizing measures of this character.

THE SPIRIT OF NEW YORK. That the appointment of a colored physician of Harlem to the position of police surgeon should occasion a measure of surplus is indicative of the slow process of eradicating ancient prejudices and loss of caste. It was conceded that the applicant for the post was amply qualified to fulfill its duties, he having passed competitive examination with one hun- That the appointment of a colored physician of Harlem to the position of police officer should occasion a measure of surprise is indicative of the slow process of eradicating ancient prejudices and fear of caste. It was conceded that the applicant for the post was amply qualified to fulfill its duties, he having passed competitive examination with one hundred and fifty other physicians and stood second on the list of eligibles. This was a year ago, but speculation arose as to whether he would receive an appointment, with many inclined to the belief that his color would constitute a bar. This pessimistic conclusion was disbelieled by the action of Commissioner Grover Whalen, the new head of the department, who signalized the coming of the new year by naming Dr. Louis T. Wright as a full fledged police surgeon, thereby establishing a new precedent in police appointments. He said that Dr. Wright had won the right to the position active competition, and he did not feel that his race or creed should enter into the selection. The position carries a salary of five thousand dollars a year and term runs indefinitely. The new police commissioner is a man of courage and determination as has been known in the aggressive policy he has adopted in his war against criminals. He is spokesmen in his policies and strenuous in his methods of executing them. In act the metropolitan press is fearful that in his drive against crime, he will overstep the limits of the law and encourage he force under him in acts of oppression. However, it takes a man of this character to obtain results when matters have fallen into such a rut of routine, as to tie the hands of authority. It took this kind courage to ignore precedents and appoint Dr. Wright. But this appointment is also in keeping with the policy voiced by Mayor Walker, who in his many talks to visitors, has set forth the spirit of New York as so broad and comprehensive as to include all creeds and classes of its cosmopolitan population. His picture of New York, as drawn in an address to the National Negro Business League, last summer, represented it as a great city, of which we are all proud, although it is terribly misunderstood and terribly maligned. But, he said that you cannot malign the City of New York, without maligning all civilization, because the city has been made up of the sons, and daughters of men and women of every one of the forty-seven states outside of the Empire State, and it has been built by men and women from every country throughout the civilized world. He said further: "It is great because it is cosmopolitan, because the measure of a man in this community must be his character and his ability. We do not care from where you came; it is where you are going and how you are going to live when you get there." This is the sort of public spirit that inspired such acts as the appointment of Dr. Wright and removes existing bars to progress, which are based on color or creed. The same sort of spirit carried into the policy of the national government, as well as into other cities and states, would make this country a better place to live in. A TOO,BITTER ARRAIGNMENT. Considerable discussion has been broused by an article written by Prof. Allison Davis of Hampton Institute, which appeared in the January issue of Plain Talk. In keeping with the name of the publication, this article was con- dicated in the plainest kind of talk, as may be judged by the opening declaration that the Negro has been a race damned by its leaders since the days when the over- seer demoralized any group loyalty to giving his favor to the treacherous." The mark of over emphasis is maintain- throughout the article, which tends to weaken its force in pointing out and cre- ciating certain weaknesses, which tend to hamper racial progress. In The Age of December 29, enou- gh Prof. Davis' article was printed to show the nature of the danger, which trains to draw in most appalling color from the ideals set, up by the upper cla- which has developed within the last two years." As he puts it briefly, "it rims of this class are to exploit and draw the masses for all they are worth, to draw report from them physically, to build a right skinned world of its own and to a the white world in luxury and amu- ment." Prof. Davis speaks specifically of the mass of lawyers, doctors, scho- teachers, real estate sharpers, business men and society women, whose contrib- ition is limited to fur coats, Packards, and chair solutions of the race problem, fo- ball classics and fraternity dances. He beems ignorant or regardless of the num- ber of earnest workers to be found among these classes, who are living simple ea- nest lives and contributing of their effort toward the progress of the race. We fear that Prof. Davis is an alar- est, who would rather indulge in a phi- applic against the upper class Negro to recognize the real merit to be found in individuals of that group. He evident- ly possesses an inferiority complex on the subject of color or complexion, and the differences between the North and the South. As if both sections did not pos- ess their advantages and disadvantage, he seems to be ignorant of the num- ous class of educated and well-to- members of the race who live in the south and engage in business. This cla- constitutes a standing example of pro- gress achieved under adverse conditions. He also ignores the work done by the real race educators of the South, who building up a class of trained workers and leaders of public sentiment for the var- ious communities where they settle.

We would not go so far as the editor of the Baltimore Herald and Common health, who denounces Prof. Davis an- is article in sweeping terms, as "a vire and calumnious slander." We prefer to believe that the professor was suffering from an attack of intellectual dyspepsia which together with a too limited range of observation dictated the pessimistic news taken of his fellows and their met- rics.

P. Davis, author of Black Democracy, a History of Haiti, defended the policy of the United State In an article reproduced in The Age of last week, Mr. H P Davis, author of "Black Democracy, a History of Hain" defended the policy of the United States: in maintaining the occupation of the island, but admitted that it had been marked by frequent errors of judgment and continued muddling. Nevertheless, he claimed that it was a misconception to believe that American intervention involves the unwarranted oppression of the Haitian people, or that this policy has been dictated by Wall Street and Dollar diplomacy. On the contrary, he claimed that the occupation had helped to liberate the masses of the Haitian people from oppression and to destroy the vicious system that had exploited them for the benefit of the minority of the upper classes. Mr. Joseph Migault, correspondent for the Courrier Haitien, "organ of National Defense," has written us to take issue with Mr. Davis on some of the statements made in his article. As to the killing of President Guillaume Sam, in July, 1915, when a revolution broke out because of his cruelties and the President was taken from the French legation and killed by the populace, he says: "But neither public nor private property was molested or destroyed, no foreigner was interfered with nor were the lives of any foreigner placed in jeopardy. When the marines landed in Port au Prince quiet had long been restored." Regarding land owned by American corporations, Mr. Mirault says, taking it for granted that they own only forty thousand acres, when it is also taken into consideration that the Haitians possess only one-third of the island, the area of which is less than ten thousand square miles. "I think that every fair minded person will agree that forty thousand acres is a lot." While this does not seem an alarming proportion of territory for alien ownership, the proposed abrogation of native land tenure seems to us a far more dangerous proposition, as intended to extend and perpetuate the exploitation of the peasant proprietors under foreign land owners. The sins of the native land owning class have no doubt been many, in their exploitation of the native workers and the absence of any constructive policy to raise them higher in the social scale. But the drastic policies and bitter humiliation visited upon them by the American invaders have expiated all that. Even so friendly a critic of the occupation as Mr. Davis admits it is obvious that no rapid development, moral, social, political and economic, has been materialized, or can be expected under the present regime. According to Mr. Davis no great American financial interests are interested in Hawaii, so that we are left to the conjecture that the only motive for the continuance of the occupation is official inertia and to preserve a few soft berths for a number of Southern office holders, left over from the Wilson administration, who can indulge their prejudices of race and color at the expense of the Haitians who have to pay the bills THE URGE FOR BUSINESS The urge to open up business is something that still persists in Harlem, although its evidences are limited to certain lines involving personal services with little in the way of retail establishments handling staple necessaries. One retail establishment tor the sale of men's furnishings has managed to present a brave front to the public for a year or more, but its growth has been small in comparison with its many competitors in the surrounding neighborhood. As an enthusiastic promoter or race enterprises stated in a burst of frankness, the future of the race depends upon its standing upon its own feet. These feet need to be shod, and there should be more establishments run by race capital engaged in selling shoes and other varieties of footwear. These need not cater solely to their own group, but be of such character and carry such a stock as to be able to fill any call from the owner of two normal feet. Then there is need for dry goods and clothing, without having to go outside of the limits of Harlem Dressmakers and milliners are to be found in numbers, but there are few establishments that do an extensive business. Some of these existing businesses, with adequate capital, might be expanded into paying concerns. This is a matter that should enlist the attention of the individuals with the urge for business The business is there but it needs men and women of genius and capital to develop it. The capital is more readily to be found than the capacity for business. Sufficient money is on deposit in the various banks of Hardem to start any number of well-equipped retail establishments, including a department store. It is the genius for trade, the quality of salesmanship that needs to be cultivated and encouraged. Until this is manifested to a greater extent than at present, the urge to business will remain dormant. In the death of Dr. William H. Johnson Harlem has lost its "oldest physician" and the Negro race a highly-respected member. Born on Long Island in 1854, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's medical school, Dr. Johnson began to practice in Manhattan forty-four years ago. He THE AGE READERS' FORUM Editor of The New York Age: I am writing to say that the American public has become so well acquainted with the Haitian question that I think I could abstain from correcting a few points in Mr. Davis' article as published in The New York Age of January 12. I have decided to do so however, for merely a question of principle. Referring to the killing of President Guillaume Sam, I will say that in July, 1915, a revolution occurred against him. His conduct, cruel and inhuman, infuriated the people to such an extent that he was taken from the French legation where he had taken refuge and killed by the populace. But neither public nor private property was molested or destroyed, no foreigner was interfered with, nor were the lives or property of any foreigner placed in jeopardy. When the marines landed in Port-au-Prince, quiet had long been restored. Why the author or the Haitian history omitted to relate that in his article is a puzzle to me. Though no sane minded person would approve of the populace taking the law into their own hands, yet I cannot see why Mr. Davis should make it as justifying the occupation of the Island, when just across the Rio Grande it is a daily occurrence. Right here in this country defenseless. Negroes are lynched and their bodies exposed sometimes for days, as a reminiscence of the time when barbarism held sway without much attention being paid to it. Regarding land owned by American corporations, I will take it for granted that they own only 40,000 acres. Taking into consideration the face of the island, we owe one third of the Island, the area of which is less than 10,000 square miles, I think that every fair minded person will agree that 40,000 acres is a lot. Now, as for the famous treaty which was literally jammed down the throat of the people, it is a one-sided question. And as long as the American government wants it to be in existence, so will it be regardless of what the Haitian people think about it Senator William H King, the great philanthropist who seems to have formed a vow to champion the cause of weak and defenseless people, regardless of creed, race or nationality, has been refused the hospitality of the Island because they know that on his return here the American people would have learnt something about the so-called progress made by the Haitians under the American administration Some people are included to blame Mr Borno for that unqualified act, but the poor fellow is not responsible, being nothing but a marionette whose strings are pulled by High Commissioner Russell, who receives orders direct from Washington. As Mr. Davis so well stated, the exodus of the Haitians has been due to lack of employment, but CIVIL SERVICE NEWS Prepared by N. Y.

JOSEPH MIRAULT New York City Interracial Cooperation Editor of the New York Age A very unique piece of social work with very great interracial significance was done by the several participating agencies in the membership of the Tampa (Fla) Welfare League and Community Chest. This effort took on the confluence of a Pagenoist dramatized the activities of each one of the 18 organization comprising the Chest movement in that city. The compelling motive of mobilizing slogan of the whole affair was, "The Spirit of Tampa." Some representative of each of the 18 organizations appeared on the stage of the Great City Auditorium and did a stunt or stunts characteristic of the work done by this particular agency either in relief giving or charac* or building Two of these agencies were represented by colored people. They were the Tampa Urban League and the Helping Hand Day Nursery When the time came for the Urban League or Day Nursery representative to appear in tiers of continuity, they were given their place as a part of the general program and not left until the tail end of the affair. In other words when the character building agencies were making their illustrations all agencies made their character building programs made their contribution the same thing is true when it came to a matter of relief-giving or child-caring institutions. The whole thing was well done from start to finish Instead of the audience reacting unfavorably to the treatment and consideration given the colored people and the colored agencies, if any preference was shown, it was for the colored participants. When the Day Nursery children appeared, the outburst of applause that greeted them virtually stopped the show" in the language of the local newspaper. 200 seats representing the ratio of the Negro population to the total, were reserved for Negro spectators. Thus the Negro became an active participating member of the whole program in a very high class, reasonable tashion. There are many cities in the South here where the Negro has never been done. This goes to show that much of the limitations and indignities imposed upon colored people are not a question of geography but a question of social engineering on the part of the public-spirited and justice-loving citizens of both groups. In the Community Chest Parade in Tampa, the organizations were arranged alphabetically without regard to race and the earth still brings forth her increase. State Reapportionment (From New York Herald Tribune) There is no good reason why Governor Roosevelt should continue his predecessor's policy of preventing a state legislative apportionment under the 1925 census. The constitution requires such a redistribution of legislative power in accordance with the decennial enumeration. While Governor Smith was in office no such redistribution was made because the Governor was unwilling to surrender Tammany Hall, present excess representation from New York County. In 1926 he vetoed an equitable reapportionment At the 1927 and 1928 sessions, when his Presidential aspirations were developing the threat of a veto by him was sufficient to block the passage of similar bills. He even coerced the Democratic organization of Kings, Queens and Bronx Counties into submitting to a scandalous under-representation New York County, with its steadily declining population has at present nine Senators and twenty-three Assemblymen. It is entitled under the 1925 census to only seven Senators and nineteen Assemblymen. The inequalities of representation are illustrated in the vote act for Senators in 1926. The total vote in the New York County districts was Twelfth, 27,720, 13th, 30,005, 14th, 37,027, 15th, 62,113, 16th, 80, 107, 17th, 48,711, 18th, 15,091, 19th, 17, 177, 35th, 50,330.

W. Werner. The New York Age, 230 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y., will bring you our proposition Discuss some statistics of the churches, the Philadelphia Christian Recorder gave the number of Negro church members in the United States 5,203,487 an increase of over 600,000 in the last ten years. It continued The Negro churches spent last year $43,044,259. On a basis of twelve million this is seen to be an expenditure of $3.58 or less than one cent a day for his church. There has been a great deal of talk about what the Negro spends for his church. The fact, as the U. S. Census plainly shows, is that the average Negro spends less than one cent a day on his church. This is far less than he spends on ment or necessitate of that one cent a day. The Census reports that the Negro has church property valued $205,782,628. We are sure there is no greater example of thrift among these newly emancipated people than the accumulation of nearly a quarter of a billion dollars worth of property by the investing of one cent day from each person. Indeed, one cent a day does not go into the purchase of church buildings because pastors must be paid, wonderful educational institutions have been founded and must be kept up. Missionary activities at home and abroad have been supported. The sick, the poor, the aged, the lame and blind, the orphaned and widows have been helped. So it is fair to assume that not more than one-tenth of one per cent has gone into church buildings which now are valued at over $205,000,000. It would be interesting to know the amount of the mortgage indebtedness on all of these church buildings as there are few churches out of debt. 一 Reterring to the report of the Senate Committee investigating the sale of Federal patronage in the South, the Baltimore Herald and Commonwealth said. The report covers a period of several years and reveals a condition of graft in connection with Federal appointment to office in certain states of the South that nauseating in the extreme It is a condition, however, for which disfranchisement of the Negro is directly responsible. With a free and untrammeled Negro vote added to the white vote in the South the sale and barter of Federal jobs would be no greater proportionately in the South than in any other section and would cause no greater scandal then attaches elsewhere to such practice. With the Negro vote destroyed or fettered in ten States in the South Republican organizations have been maintained, in those States during the past thirty years merely as skeletons for the purpose of dispensing patronage. The Committee activities thus far has been in the running down of patronage sale in States where Negro party officials figured. We respectfully suggest that it lend its attention to the Tolbert organization in South Carolina, Bean in Florida, and the other patronage organizations in the South. We want functioning organizations in every State in the South and we will be heart and soul with him in any effort he makes to break up the present regimes. Editor Andrew is familiar with Southern politics and undoubtedly speaks out of a bitter experience That the liquor problem is not confined to the United States, was proved by what Nana Sir Ofori Atta said to the Chamber of Commerce at Liverpool during his visit to England in July 1928. His remarks were published by the Temperance Committee at the Wesleyan Methodist Church in the Gold Coast, Times as follows In recent years, it has occurred to us that Great Britain was exporting to the Gold Coast such a terrible quantity of gun that it is becoming a menace to the prosperity of the people. The effect of this has become so alarming that we are afraid that if it is not checked you will not be helping the African to become a truly progressive man. The African feels that the European knows that gun is not a good thing to hand to the African. It is not so much the physical effects of the drinking of gun but because it does not make us people able to carry on our duties with an sense of responsibility. It may make some sacrifice to you, but I am sure that the African is a progressive man and likes to do everything he can to improve his station, if he ceases buying gun, the money he saves will be used in buying more useful commodities. You will do a great service to this country. 81,172—almost as large a vote as that tast in six of the New York County districts Tammany is not used to letting go a political advantage, even if loss is to be translated into gain for adopting Democratic organizations. Queen is entitled to three Senators, seven to two, and king to nine instead of eight. Queens is also entitled to nine Assemblymen instead of eight. Kings to twenty-four instead of twenty-three and Bronx to nine instead of eight. Such a distribution would with senators. Who should Governor Josephus want to discriminate in taxor of Tammyna and and against the people of Kings, Queens and Bronx Counties. The Legislature is anxious to do its constitutional duty by passing a reapportionment law. The Governor might also to do his duty under the constitution. He can expect no encouragement from Tammyna, however, which is fighting both in Washington and in Albany to preserve its present excess representation to the House of Representatives. Saturday, January 18, 1925 try if you will remove anything that may send to impair the progress of these people on the right lines. You is doing an injury and is detrimental to the interests of the Africans. It is not a trade that should be encouraged. In the interests of the African let the gin trade be stopped." So long as there is a profit for the British trader, the gin traffic in Africa is likely to continue Under the somewhat insulting headline of "The Greasers Don't Want Us" the Oklahoma City Black Dispatch said Indignation runs rampant among the Negroes of the United States with the announcement of the Mexican government that restrictive measures have been put into effect by that government to bar Negroes from permanent residence below the Rio Grande. According to dispatches only twenty-four-hour passes will be granted to Negroes in Mexico. No permanent residence will be allowed. Just what the attitude of the U.S. government on this subject will be is not known, although in some quarters it is said that the decision of the Mexican government was not arrived at without counsel with representatives of Uncle Sam. The disposition on the part of the American government is to keep it in the United States is extremely well known. American Negroes are persona non grata in South Africa and the attitude of our government with reference to colored troopers while on overseas duty in France, is too well known to elaborate upon. But restricted emigration works two ways. Negroes should at once demand of the government that Mexican greasers be kept out of the U.S. Thousands upon thousands of Mexicans cross into this country every year, brought in by railroad companies and other corporations, to match their cheap labor; against that of American citizens. While restrict emigration has meant much to the black folk who seek employment in the industrial East and North through our back door, on the Mexican border, thousands of cheap laborers are execving a flank movement in the Southwest that bodes no good. Apart from the fact that referring to Mexicans "greasers" is, as had as calling Negroes "niggers," there might be some justification for the demand for restricting the admission of laborers from across the border Attempts to colonize Negroes in Mexico have not proved successful. Talking about resolutions for the New Year the Washington Tribune enumerated some that we should make and keep, among them being the following We resolve to place our business establishments on efficient basis and expect trade because of merit and service and not patronage because we are of the same race group. We resolve to do distance segregation in one phase of our life as we promote segregation by our patronage of those outstanding in their segregation. We segregate ourselves about as often as we are segregated. Why are we so many dug up and destroyed in past three years? Why is it we do not have clothing and shoe stores? Why are our banks not bulging with our deposits and the lobbies not crowded with patrons? Be courageous and keep our resolutions and carry our banks beyond the mill mark in resources in 1929. We resolve to branch out our other lines of business, save the natural segregated lines like bars, shops, restaurants, theaters and surance. Get into competitive areas. We wear shoes, clothes, train life and purchase items and care not notions and dress and where we our establishment. We resolve to eliminate "co- lines" within our race and will no tude toward color, so long as we emphasize and maintain such non sense We resolve to unite and co- opeate our small and incompetent churches thereby eliminating dead weight and wasted expense in trying to maintain an overchurched community We resolve to dissolve our vague petty cliques and factions and real practice race solidarity and our operation in the case moral, educational and economic welfare of city That is a pretty good program any community to put in practice during the year of 1929 In the interesting department the A M E Lion Quarterly Re search, headed "Where the Editi Talks," the following instance of ministerial task was related A certain pastor felt that he was not receiving the support and operation of one of his leading members and he decided to go to him and find out the cause. "Yes!" said the member, "it is true that I am not one of your supporters although a large majority agreed for you. I opposed your comings here." And may I ask the reason for our opposition, the preacher didily inquired. "I opposed your coming, kept the member "because I don't under you a first-class preacher" Well, said the preacher, "it is exactly my opinion, I fully agree with you, but since a large majority of the congregation differ from us, would hardly look right for us and me to set our judgment to the judgment of so many. Hence, suggest that we just allow them to have their way, and not quarrel them about it." It was added that the turtles question won over the prey and became more aggressive. KENTUCKY JUBILEE CHOIR, SINGING AT REPUBLIC THEATRE, WINS FAVOR, BUT SIMONS CUTS ANTICS WITH SPIRITUALS I take the Negro Spiritual and Folk Song has won a high place in the system and appreciation of New York concert goers was exemplified on Sunday evening, January 13, when, in spite of near-zero weather, following an afternoon snowfall which left the streets with a thin coating of glossy and slippery ice an audience of fair proportions came to the Republic Theatre, 209 West 42nd street, to hear Forbes Randolph's Kentucky Jubilee Choir, composed of eight men singers with a well attuned to each other, forming a nicely balanced ensemble. In addition, it is recalled that this Republic Theatre was the home for four months of "Porgay," the play about Negro life in Charleston, South Carolina, characterized by a white writer, DeBose Heyward. The tenure of singers included J. Arthur Gaines and Robert M. Lasey tenors, Hinton Jones, who is evidently the music director, and Augustus Simons, second tenors, William Vesaye and Frank Pollut, first bassos; Arthur Payne and Matt Houseley, second bassos. The pianist is L. F. Dyer, organist for M. Olivet Baptist Church. The first strains of "My Lord, what a mormon," which opened the program gave evidence of an unusual tone quality in the mass singing, with each voice having its individual idiosyncrasy, yet merging harmoniously with the others. And this was further brought out, as the program continued, by the solidarity of tone with which the enlisted supported the obbligato incidental solos. The group includes several solo voices which have been heard with appreciation on various occasions, particularly Messrs Gaines, Vesey, Veisey and Payne, and this concert, so fat as this reviewer is pleased, was the means of an initial hearing of the voice of Director Jane. The other incidental solist was Gus Simons of whose work detailed comment will come a bit further on. The singing of these men was a splendid exemplification of the New York allure, and the audience, mostly Caucasian, was exuberant even overtorous, in its expressions of appreciation. The enthusiasm grew steadily in intensity, from vigorous hand-clapping, in the beginning, to excited cries of "Bravo!" and "Encore!" as the program progressed from one degree of interest to another. The first group included "My Lord, what a morning, arranged on Lute" "Eckelkiel saw d wheel," with incidental solo by Arthur Strut") Payne, and "Wasn't dat a wide river," incidental solo by Vesey. The choir was followed then by Veasey, who sang what sounded like Hurleigh's arrangement "Go down, Moses," but the program did not indicate as to who might be responsible. Mr Dyer played the accompaniment. The choir's second offering brought "Hold on," "Daniel" and Hartleigh's "Deep River," with Veasey and Cayer as solists in the first two. Some of the best work of the evening was the "Deep River" solist, with delicate shadings and dynamic contrasts. Arthur Games then sang with exquisite taste and feeling, Rosanond Johnson's song, the "Anthony," and he was so animated to return and join another of One of the most effective numbers programmed was the one sung over the first time by Roland Hayes, "Crucifixion," with Hinton Linus singing the solo melody, the choir growing a background of only harmonized humming Later, Jones sang as a solo, "Me massa tell it all tomorrow." As animated, he was being heard for the first time and it was noted with interest that he disclosed a voice of quality pleasing and insinuating in its uneated voice, with developed technique control and tonal breadth. Another departure from the acustomed was in the singing of Water Poet's song brought to New York audiences by Roland Hayes, later by Paul Robeson, as arranged for solo voice by Avery Kinson in English composer. The choir sang this as a chorus, with Avery Gaines doing the solo melody so effectively that the auctor did add its repetition. And this happened, also, when "Exhibition, Will Marion Cook's" fine song was given in the same group, thus the incidental solos. This was Simon's first number as an incidental soloist and it was largely due to his sense of the humour that the song was so well realized although the work of the choir was of the highest excellence, however, in his interpretation, gave some way to his gratory shots in dramatizing his rendition, and this was well received by the audience, which showed its appreciation by enthusiastic applause. Delaved though his first appearance might have been, he was free- called upon during the two final groups. And it may have be- tween this was a calculated arrangement. For it was left to Mr. Simons to bring to the program an element of humour, expressed through acrobatic contortions and gestures, that stirred the audience, in to laughter and applause, but which were decidedly out of the intent interpretation of a program of Spiritual. "His hortitation is not a spiritual and such gestations are not keeping with its rendition. But Mr. Simons led in singing, O Lord, Who'll be a witness?" "Great getting up morum" "creature and the heart reception given by the audience to his within vocal and bodily exhibitions, seemed to serve as an inspiration leading him on from one body unto another. It was the exhibition of how Spirituals should not be sung, even though winning favor with a Caucasian audience. That it was unnecessary, however, was shown by the reviver, Earl, which was given to the singing by the choir of 'Goin' Home.' raised from Fisher's setting of the largo theme from Dovarak, New World Symphony, the last programmed number, as well as to the two numbers in the same group "Don't be weary, traveler, Aveyse, and I'm a rollin'" 11. effective added numbers were Poor mourner and the 12.

It seems strange why a petty news-member should presist in filling the columns of The Age with frivolous and uninteresting news, and aside from being uninteresting, many of the statements downright insulting should not sell. I must say my career at the Roosevelt Theatre was not 'stormy': "I had perfect sailing until the rehearsal question came up, which was settled in a few days. The manager of the Roosevelt Theatre wanted me to rehearse the orchestra without increase in salary. I refused to do it, consequently the friction, and I resigned. You said. Shapiro gave John notice, which is untrue no time did Shapiro give me notice. All notices were given by me. "After the expiration of first notice the manager asked me to remove on the job, saying I would not have to rehearse.

That is untrue I did not try to fire a soul while at the Roosevelt "Incorrect takes like these above serve in good purpose" "Mr. Outram this is your second attempt to herald my name around the world in a harmful vein and I hope you will forgive me.

The above was engendered by an article in this column under date of January 5, which briefly stated John's history of service at the Douglas Theatre, his friction with the missioners he found on the job, his intention to make cheerleaders, his trying to change men, his frustless appeal to Local 802 before and after he left the job. Intimidation is also part of my consideration. John should know this as he has known this writer for many, many years. His truth of the alleged story. Although believing firmly in its veracity, a vast nevertheless was paled Mr. Shapiro at the Douglas Theatre and the article placed before him. Mr. Shapiro had already read the story, read it again. Then he said that it was wrong in one particular, that John had not given him notice at any time, that he had given John notice both times. Then Mr. Shapiro said he had received complaints and had to remind John long before his discharge from the "Roosevelt" that as general manager of the "Douglas," "Roosevelt and Odeon," that he had never used any "Sandals school language to amuse his employees," and was a nurse for John his exercise in a prince siege which was not enjoyed by the manager. As regard to John's discharge to charge the piano player, Mr. Shapiro made a serious accusation against Mr. Haywood, which its unnecessary to mention here. Mr. of Mr. Shapiro's statements admitting the truth of the story as it appeared in the Age also his comments, were made in the press of a third party and he further voluntarily offered "to back up the story as published. So now it looks as if John as "liable to get into" with two parties, instead of Jack John is once, wee-heavy he champion used his fists for a living and played the "Hull bobble amusement. Does John want to reverse the process? This column is open to cash and every Union musician and any error in statement will glibly be recrited or a communication published.

HOGANS NEGROES AND THE RAILROADS NEGROES AND THE RAILROADS The railroads of America, to which may be added the Pullman service, furnish employment to more than ten per cent of the entire Negro population in the country. In fact, American railroads, with the exception of one or two Western roads, have preferred the services of Negroes, as cooks, waiters and porters, to that of any other race. This preference is due mainly, if not absolutely, to the economic and industrial condition of the Negro; there is no doubt about that. The object here, however, is not to discuss that phase of the subject, but rather to discourse on the future of the railroads and how this future will affect the Negro. In the last five years, the railroads have suffered heavily in passenger and freight revenue through the inroads of the motor bus and the motor express. In some sections of the country, these transportation rivals have practically forced the railroads to abandon their local passenger and freight service. And in sparsely settled routes where they are compelled by franchise to maintain this service, they are now furnishing it by motor cars instead of trains. It is a common sight nowadays to see a motor bus, with the name of the railroad on which you are traveling, waiting at some small junction point, where formerly it ran a three-car train, for passengers enroute to stations on its main line. Then again, its not the motor bus alone that deflects travel from the railroads. The private car has become a contributing agent to this deflection. In the rural sections, especially, the automobile owner uses his car for business as well as pleasure purposes. The farm, who formerly had to depend on the railroad to get his produce to market, loads his Ford, or some other make of inexpensive car, and away he goes. Although, it is said, in some of these rustic communities, that the automobile is a curse to the farmer instead of a blessing. Enter into conversation with any feed-store man up New York State way, and he'll swear by all that is truthful that the automobile is running the farmers in his section. The explanation for this opinion is that the automobile has developed in the farm man an inclination toad when he should be looking after his crop and so forth. Whether or not that is the seal reason why one sees so many poorly cultivated farms in the East, the fact remains that the automobile has hurt the railroads. In addition to the motor car, another transportation rival for the railroads is looming in the distance. The air plane is trying to become a contender in the traffic field. It has offered no appreciable rivalry so far in this country, as a travel competitor, but there is no telling to what extent it will develop along this line in he next, say in fifteen years. It is in the realm of possibility that this mode of travel will cut into the long distance passenger travel of the railroads as deeply as the motor bus has dug into their short haul business. In foreign countries, notably France and Germany, traveling by airplane is a common thing. Only recently the writer was told by a well-known Harlem physician of a trip be to and his wife made, while abroad last year, in an airplane from Dover to Calais. Americans, of course, haven't gone in for this sort of transportation as avidly as have the French and the Germans. This hesitancy may be ascribed to the reluctance of the railroads in promoting a rail. Then, besides, the average railroad manager is inclined to be skeptical about air transportation as a practical mode of passenger transportation. Speaking recently with one railroad official who was designated by his road to study the subject, he leaned to the opinion that even in the dangers of air travel were minimized to a fraction, the costiness of such transportation would be out of all proportion to the time that might be gained in such travel. Anyway, it was his idea that the aeroplane was not likely to supplant the railroad train as a long distance passenger carrier. On the other hand, many men, high in the business and technical world, have been heard to express the opinion that the next decade or so will see America doing its long distance travel by air. So, there you have two different opinions on the subject. However, just for the sake of argument, suppose the latter opinion does come true, how would this change be likely to affect the Negro? Unlike the motor car, which the Negro may learn to drive and become a chauffeur, if he doesn't wish to be a porter or waiter, the avenue of opportunity to develop skill as airplane mechanic, pilot and so on, is barred to him. He doesn't of course, do those things on the railroad, but a considerable number of his race are employed in other capacities. Therefore, the ability of the railroads to maintain their present advantage over the air plane should be hoped for by Negroes anyway. Railroad workers of the present age need not forget any sleep over the matter; for in the event it does come to pass that America goes by air instead of rail, they likely will be too old to do anything but hobble around on their canes and talk of the "good old days." Nevertheless, it is interesting to contemplate what the change will mean to Negroes. Trying To Establish Something New Trying To Establish Something New George L. Ford strikes us as being a model for the man who prefers to "wear out instead of rust out." Mr Ford is very active these days with his pet project, which is, form an association of veteran and retired-Pullman porters. The idea back of the movement should, to our mind, appeal to all thinking members of this group of workers. Making provision for one's self in case of illness and death is essential with everyone. In this respect, there is no great fault to find with the colored brother. But preparing for the time when he is up, but his earning power has gone, is one of the conditions of life which he seems in most instances to overlook. Perhaps, the brother should not be blamed too severely for this, too, has been traditional with the race to center its activities in organizations which emphasises sickness and death. These two states will and must come, but it does seem rather odd, to say nothing about being unvisionary, that none of the bright minds in these beneficial organizations have ever embraced the idea of establishing an old age authority for aged members. This is what one old ex-Pullman porter is trying to get the group of which he was once a member to do. The first meeting of the movement will be held at the headquarters of proposed association, 309 West 16th Street, Saturday evening, January 19, at 9 o'clock. OUT OF TOWN CORRESPONDENCE --- Riverhead.

Practical Pattern One either looks smart, today or one doesn't. Mere beauty in frocks is a thing of the past; smartness has triumphed over prettiness. Details that are outstanding in the vogue must be considered before anything else. The cut of the neck; the swing of the skirt; the necessity for, or the lack of trimming; the line of the entire frock. These, together with the fabric employed, constitute the elements in the final test of chic. One may not be half way in these matters and the rule previews for every hour of the day. For morning, sports street or evening wear there are charming and numerous features to please every taste, stature and purse. And the woman who sees at home has a decided advantage: She may look for individuality in her dresses as well as smartness. Her frocks will cost so much less that she may have a greater variety, thus satisfying every new feature in the mode. For example, this week we have sketched three adorable frocks for afternoon wear, each showing a different phase of the current model. Design 1629 portrays most artfully the flared skirt and the jabot trimming so beloved by the feminine world. Here is a model that would grace the finest of social gatherings. Design 8556 shows the wrap around skirt that seems to wrap smartness with it. In this model we have the old neckline that has come to the fore this season. However always soft and flattering, afford lovely trimming. In design 8642 is declared the grace and chic of the pleated skirt. The overhose effect new, we say effect because the frock is on one piece, the skirt being stitched on entirely from the one end of the soft cascading jab. In design 1629 lends an attractive finish to the bodice. Design 8556 is a morning dress, straight and simple in cut yet extremely smooth with its broken belt treatment and crissled hair at the neck. These models may be fashored of any number of fabrics according to their use. I cannot over estimate the importance of tweeds and soft woollen for the late winter and early spring. Kasha jerseys and flannel have never been so important. These materals come in printed patterns and plain and are so often combined effectively with socks. The success of black jerseys has been phenomenal. Silk creme satins, velvet and georgette crepes are being used for wear under top coats, in particularly colored effects that add much to the ensemble. These fabrics promise to continue in popularity right through the season into his wife of Orange New Jersey motored to Port Jersey to the home of James Snit, on Sunday January 11.
