Capt. Napoleon Marshall Knocked Down By Taxicab
Captain Napolea B. Marshall, who recently returned home after serving six years in Haiti as a clerk in the American Consulate, was knocked down and severely bruised when a taxicab struck him near the corner of 137th street and Seventh avenue about 6 p. m., Saturday, February 9.
He was rushed to the Wiley Wilson Sanatarium, 200 West 138th street, where Dr. Wiley Wilson treated him for bruises and contusions of the body. After having his patient x-rayed, the doctor permitted him to return to his home.
Dr. Wilson stated to a representative of The Age that the x-ray picture showed that Captain Marshall had also suffered a slight fracture of the pelvic bone. This would cause his confinement at home for two or three weeks.
The accident occurred during the rain and wind storm, and no charge was preferred against the taxi driver, who, it is said, was going at a slow rate of speed.

"This then, is the high vantage ground of the Negro; he has labor; the South wants it, and must have it or perish. Since he is free he can now give it or withhold it, use it where he is, or take it elsewhere as he pleases. His labor made him a slave, and his labor can, if he will, make him free, comfortable and independent. It is more to him than fire, swords, ballot-boxes or bayonets. It touches the heart of the South through its pocket. This power served him well years ago, when in the buttertest extreme of destitution. But for it, he would have perished when he dropped out of slavery. It saved him then and it will save him again.

During the next hall century and more, my race must continue passing through the severe American crucible. We are to be tested in our patience, our fortitude, our power to endure wrong, to willow, to commit to acquire and master; in our ability to compete, to succeed in commerce, to disregard the superficial for the real, the appearance of the substance, to be great and yet small, learned and yet sample, high and yet the servant of all."

NEW MARCUS GARVEY SCHEME CALLING FOR $6,000,000, IS BANNED BY POST OFFICE
Again has United States postal inspectors intervened to curb activities of Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, calculated to mulct Negro citizens of this country of such sums of money as would make the recent Black Star Line promotion, which resulted in Garvey's being sent to Atlanta for fraud and to be subsequently be deported, a most insignificant proposition.

HARMON AWARDS MADE BEFORE A LARGE AUDIENCE Rabbi Wise Is Principal Speaker Tuesday Eve. At Mother Zion
A joint celebration—Lincoln's birthday and the presentation of the 1928, Harmon Awards—was witnessed by a large audience at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor, on Tuesday evening, February 12. Dr. Stephen S. Wise, rabbi of the Free Synagogue, and one of the outstanding orators in the country today, was the principal speaker.
Rabbi Wise said in part that the two races had met together on a high plane for this celebration and at various times the white and colored people meet on the lowest plane in cabaret, dives, etc. "Would to God, he said, "that the two races could meet on all planes in a spirit of mutual understanding and respect." He also complimented the recipients of the awards and urged others present to emulate their example.
Mayor Walker Ill
Mayor James J. Walker, who was programmed to present the awards, was unable to be present because of illness, and he was represented by Park Commissioner Walter R Herrick. The presentations were made as follows:
To James Weldon Johnson, as the representative of Claude McKay, winner of the gold award in literature who is traveling in Morocca, North Africa; to Nella Larsen, bronze award in literature, who was presented by Arthur B. Spingar; and to Dr. Channing H. Tobias, bronze award in religious service, who was introduced by E. C. Carter.
There was also the presentation of the special prize, on $250 to Malvin Gray Johnson for the finest piece of art work in the second annual exhibition of arts held in auspices of the Harmon Foundation at the International House Mr. Johnson was presented by Augustus Granville Smith.
The musical part of the program included two numbers by Mrs Charlotte Wallace Murray, soprano, accompanied by Miss Olyve L. Jeter, and two cello solos by David I Martin, accompanied by Miss Sallee Smith.
Miss Helen Griffith Harman vice-president of the Harmon Foundation, and daughter of the late William F. Harmon, the founder of the purpose and of her late father in establishing the foundation.
Lincoln's Gettyburg address was read by the Rev. John H. Johnson, vicar of St Martin's Chapel.
Telegrams of congratulation from other cities, where similar awards were being presented at the same time, were read by Miss Mary Beatty, director of the Harmon Foundation. John E. Nail was the master of ceremonies.

Africa and the West Indies.
Postal Inspectors intercepted one of these letters, and a copy has been sent to Horace J. Donnelly, solicitor for the Post Office Department at Washington, and Inspector Clarahan says this it Donnelly's opinion classes the new Garvey scheme as fraudulent, the post office will seize all letters addressed and mailed to Garvey, at his present home in Jamaica—West Indies, and the contents returned to the senders.
It is estimated that this measure will save thousands of dollars for the American Negroes who may be influenced by the Garvey appeal to send money for the carrying out of his Utopian dream.
The postal authorities had been expecting some such development says Clarahan, following the action last December by which the post office put an abrupt end to Garvey's plan for taking a census of all Negroes in America by means of a house-to-house canvass by loyal supporters in this country, whom he had mailed letters outlining the method by which this should be done. The post office stopped delivery of all such letters, after their character had been discovered, but the inspectors think that hundreds of them had already been delivered.
Wanted A "Sucker List."
This census, postal officials believe, was intended by Garvey as a means to obtain a "sucker life" to whom could be mailed letters concerning this new scheme.
Mr. Clarahan, referring to this new scheme, unhesitatingly denounced it as a fradulent project. He says that this latest scheme embodies all the best features of Garvey's efforts in promotion of the Black Star Line, the African Republic and the Black Cross movements. But there are a number of new details, probably the fruits of Garvey's cognitions while in the Federal Prison at Atlanta, from which he was released in 1927, with immediate deportation from New Orleans following.
According to Mr. Clarahan, a campaign is to be conducted hero by E. B. Knox, Garvey's personal representative, who, until just recently, maintained offices and published the Garvey paper, "The Negro World," at 142 West 130th street. This office has been closed and present whereabouts of the officers has not been found by Agre representatives.
With this $600,000,000 fund, it is said, Garvey's promise to subscribers is to make every Negro in the world economically, socially and politically free within the next ten years. The money can come in any form and pledges to cover a period of ten years in the payment will be accepted. A record book to keep track of these installments was enclosed with the letter.
Besides placing the names of contributors on the proposed monuments, it is planned by Garvey to make sites of these emblems & shrine to which Negro pilgrims, in centuries to come, may journey and meet the men of men and women en who unite possible the great Negro Emuie

SCOUTING!
Community Good Turns
The preparedness of Boy Scouts and the efficient manner in which they rendered service in the great disasters of the past three years including the Florida hurricane of 1928 is a tribute to their trining in community service. Appropriately, in celebration of the meetenth anniversary of the Boy Scout Movement in America, our society this great organization of boys have chosen as a feature, the mobilization of Scouts in nearly every city of the United States to demonstrate the rapidity with which Scouts may be brought together for service in time of need. The mobilization, which will take place during the week of February 8th-14th, which is Boy Scout Anniversary Week, will be another great demonstration of the practical value of the Scout Motto "Be Prepared." The Scouts will mobilize to do some "Good Turn" for the community in whichever they live.
It is well that attention be called to the work of the Boy Scouts of America which now has nearly 600,000 boys and more than 200,000 men-enrolled. It is a vital part of America. The Movement concerns the whole world too, because it is international in scope. Nearly fifty nations have some sort of Boy Scout organization with character building and citizenship training as its goal.

Pythian Supreme Chancellor W. A. Hawkins Issues Proclamation and Dispensation In Commemoration of 40 Anniversary of Order
The Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of the Eastern and Western Hemisphere, was instituted at Baltimore, September 22, 1898, forty years ago. It is not necessary to go into details as to the causes for its formation. Its growth since then has been steady and sure, and though always contending against greater numbers, larger resources, in the least said about the better for racial integrity and fraternal honor. Our right to exist has been proved by forty years of sacrifice serving services to the members of the orphans, by a steady adherence and devotion to the principles of our great fraternity, by striving to have their principles exemplified in the daily lives of our members, to make our supreme lodge in all of its departments a power for good in the uplift of the Negro, nationally an internationally.
We have managed to exist largely because we have encouraged to the limit the fraternal spirit, and because we have made only such promises as we could keep, and by keeping the ones we have made The results are, today we have grand and subordinate lodges and Guilds alabams, serving from Massachusetts Louisiana from the Atlantic to the Pacific; also in Barbados and British Honduras Work is at this time being instituted in Monrovia Liberia. We are now in a splendid condition financially and numerically, and are much better now than at any time during our history.
As a benefit organization of this period of our order, the Supreme Chancellor has caused to be instituted a membership drive for two thousand members in our order, under the leadership of F. S. V. C. H. Willis of New York, along with one hundred vice-chairmen, covering twelve states and foreign lands.
All lodges and Court of Calanthes are granted dispensations to acquire members at a special rate for this anniversary period, which begins February 1. ending June 30, 1929
That lodges and individuals may benefit financially and numerically, the Supreme Lodge has provided a budget of $2,500 to be distributed in the form of awards, and to cover incidental expenses pertaining to this 40th anniversary.

Eureka Lodge, Masons, Holds 6th Anniversary
The sixth anniversary of Eureka Lodge, No. 3 A. F. & A. M., was held Monday night at King Solomon Ma-onic Temple, 71 West 131 street.

Past Master Sims was appointed master of ceremonies, and was quite equal to the occasion.
Grand Master John H. Smith, who has never been known to miss Eureka's anniversary, had a very important engagement in Brooklyn and could not remain until the close of the meeting.
The Grand Lodge was represented by Right Worshipful A. Bame, deputy grand master, and Right Worshipful L. Harty, grand secretary.
Officers and members of various lodges were invited, and lent a hand in putting over the function.
A large and appreciative audience listened to splendid addresses from. Right Worshipful Lancelot Harty (33), and Lenosa Phoenix. These men are classed as gems of th craft. M. Phoenix, in his usual calm manner gave some helpful historic facts of Eureka lodge, and.

Among other speakers were Past Master McConney, Past Master Hugh Bromley and several visitors.

State Supreme Court Denies Right Of West Virginia School Board To Bar Negroes From Charleston Library
Charleston, W. Va.—The right of Negroes to joint use with white citizens of the Charleston Public Library was reaffirmed by the State Supreme Court in denying a petition of the Charleston Independent School District for a re-hearing in the case. Judge Haymond Maxwell filed a concurring opinion on the petition which the Constitution is silent for a rehearing to the original decision of Judge M. O. Litz, which held that "the governing body of a public library may not exclude a public library not exclude any, upon which an affirmative answer might be predicted. The cases are the other way. Boards of education and other subordinate governmental agencies are limited in their authority by the constitutional provisions or grounds for its action in providing the legislative enactments which separate libraries for white and give them birth.
In the Maddox case, the court said "No discrimination on account of nationality, caste or other distinction has been attempted by the law making powers The boards of directors are only the agents, the trustees appointed to carry out the system provided for. Their powers are no greater than the authority conferred by the legislation They can do nothing, they are not expressly authorized to do or which does not grow out their express powers" In the Pasadena case, supra, we find "School districts are quasi municipal corporations of the most limited power known to the law. Their trustees have special powers, and cannot exceed the limit."
Unless a subordinate governmental agency has authority thereor in the breadth of its legislative grant of power, necessarily incident thereto, as in Roberts vs Boston. (Mass.) 5 Cushing 198, and Hopkins v. Richmond (Va.) 80 S E 139, or is specifically clothed with such authority, it may not enforce a segregation of the races in the enjoyment of public institutions. Cases supra. The police power is an attribute of sovereignty which rests in the states, and has not been surrendered by them to the federal government 12 (Courts Juris 90C; R.C.I. 191
It is to be exercised by the Legislature or by subordinate governmental agencies acting only under legislative authority expressly delegated or necessarily implied. As illustrative of this proposition see Judy vs Lashley, 50 W. Va. 628, wherein it is stated "The police power of a municipal corporation depends upon the will of the legislature, and a city town or village can only exercise such police power as is fairly included in the grant or powers by its charter" authorities need not be multiplied. On reason, this principle applies to all agencies of government acting under legislative authority

Judge Haymond Maxwell filed a concurring opinion on the petition for a rehearing to the original decision of Judge M. O. Litz, which held that "the governing body of a public library may not exclude persons therefrom on account of their color, race or previous condition of servitude."
Charges Discrimination
The school board set up two grounds for its action in providing separate libraries for white and Negro students of Charleston. The Negroes in their court action charged discrimination, contending that the library provided for them did not contain the variety of volumes that was available in the main library to which the school board denied them access, and even if the branch library had the same number of volumes and was equipped as well as the Charleston Public library the Board had no authority to exclude them from the same
Judge Maxwell pointed out in his concurring opinion that the school board contended that authority to separate the library was given if it was part of the school system and if it was not the authority for separation was provided under police regulations. Like Judge Litz, Judge Maxwell drew a distinction between a "public library" and a "school library" holding there was nothing in the law to indicate that the library was to be merely a school library and that the phrase "public library" was a definite and well understood meaning.
Separation Not Authorized
It is also held that the separation was not authorized on the basis of the price power of the state. Judge Maxwell in further discussion of the attempted segregation said: "Can the attempted segregation harrow on a matter as to
"About fifty years ago," says Mr. Lewis G. O'Shields, of Portersville, Ala., "my mother gave me the first dose of Black-Draught, and I have taken it ever since, when I needed a medicine for constipation. I have used this remedy all my married life, in raising my children. I have used Black-Draught frequently for heartburn, as I have had spells of this kind, off and on, for years. This follows indigestion, and indigestion comes close on constipation. I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught in time. It relieves me of dizziness, tightness in the chest and backache.
"By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order. I always keep it in the home, and have recommended it to many people, in my time. I always say a good word for a good medicine." Sold by all druggists.

BLACK-DRAUGHT
for Constipation Indigestion, Biliousness
No Police Power
Board Has No Authority.
In the management of the public library authorized by the legislative acts aforesaid the Board of Education does not have the authority under the police power of the state, by reason of either general or special authorization, to exclude colored citizens therefrom. This is a legislative matter. It thus follows that the action of the Board cannot be legally justified either on the theory that the library is a part of the public school system or on the basis of the police power of the state.
This suit was brought and financed by the Charleston Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in the names of Anderson H. Brown, a wealthy real estate dealer; E. L. Powell, state manager of the Supreme Life and Casualty Company, and W. W. Sanders, sate supervisor of Negro Schools, all of whom are members of the executive committee of the association. The Association and the plaintiffs were represented by Attorney T. G. Nutter, president of the local branch, and C. E. Kimbrough, colored attorney of Charleston

THE NEW YORK AGE
Wilkesbarre, Pa.—The principal speaker in the Sunday evening lecture course under auspices of the Central white and colored A. M. C. A's, on February 10, at the Auditorium was the Rev J. H. Mason, financial secretary of Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C.
Dr. Mason's address was heard by the largest audience yet assembled in the lecture course, and his subject was Darkest America and The Way Out," with a second subject, "Lincoln-Include. He spoke in part as follows:
"Today the thoughts of the christian world are turned toward one of the most remarkable personalties of all time Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was the tallest American of the centuries. His life was a drama; his death a tragedy. Like a meteor heushed upon us and then disappeared below the horizon, but, as the eternal stars, he will shine through the upcoming centuries.
No man ever assumed such tremendous responsibilities as Lincoln under such varied emaxarrassments, and no man so signally triumphed as did he. Coming to the highest office in the gift of a great republic, he was the victim of unspeakable ridicldr and ridicule.
Two Civilizations
For years previous two civilizations had been struggling for the majority; the civilization of Plymouth, locks, and civilization of town town. The civilization of Plymouth were born free and equal and entitled to life, liberty and the purity of happiness. The civilization of Jamestown emphasized the rights and privileges of the few, irrespective of the well-being and happiness of the many. While the country was apparently one, in thought it was practically two. Each faction felt itself as viewpoint, the justice and the贪慷 of its cause. This given accord to the perceptions of boundless.

The issuing of the Immune patron Incarnation was the logical sequence.

Alabama Pythians Are Divided Over Suit In Court Asking The Naming Of a Receiver For Mortuary Fund
Supreme Court Reverses Decision Chancery Court, But Remands Case, Directing Citing Of Four Grand Lodge Officials Birmingham, Ala. Both sides are claiming victory in the decision handed down by the State Supreme Court in the case heard on appeal of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, State of Alabama, remanding the case back to the Chancery Court of
The case is based on a suit filed by Philip Shorter and other members of the Order asking for the appointment of a receiver for the grand lodge, charging that funds of the order had been wasted, by the officers, particularly the Mortuary Fund, which, it was alleged, had been diverted to pay expenses of the grand lodge to the amount of $87,219.63
Four Officers Cited
R. A. Blount, the grand chancellor, with U. G. Mason, I. B. Kigh and E. A. Brown, were cited as the responsible officers The Chancery Court decision ordered the naming of a receiver and the case was taken to the Supreme Court on appeal
A digest of the Supreme Court opinion indicates that the reversal and remanding was based on the fact that the complaint failed to make the four officers a party to the suit.
Immediately the decision was handed down, Grand Chancellor Blount published in his paper, the Birmingham Truth, a statement claiming that the grand lodge had won a complete victory, that the Chancery Court order given by Judge William Walkerhead had been reversed, and that the reversal had put an end to the effort to wreck the grand lodge by "sore-heads and malcontacts led on by Oscar Adams and others."
Denies Blount's Claim
But Mr Adams, who is editor of the Birmingham Reporter, in the issue of February 9, disputes the claims made by Mr Blount, and presents a long explanation written by Attorney John W. Altman, in which it is pointed out that the court decision upheld every contention of the plaintiffs, and that

the reversal was merely a matter of form, inasmuch as the four officers named were not made defendants in the complaint.
The claim is made further that the decision modifies the Chancery Court decision to the extent that a receiver should be put in charge of the Endowment Fund, embracing both the, Mortuary and Expense Funds, administering them according to rules of the Order, to the end that the Mortuary Fund might be restored to its former status, and that the receiver should conduct proceedings and suits as may be necessary for that purpose.
Supreme Lodge Barred.
Mr. Altman shows also that an effort of the Supreme Lodge to secure a writ of mandamus was fruitless, the Court holding that the Supreme Lodge "has shown no interest in, right to or connection with the trust fund in question," and the mandamus was refused. In an editorial review of the case Mr. Adams declared that the process of making the officers a party to the suit is a simple procedure, requiring a few days and the necessary pleading to amend the bill of complaint, and that the fact of including the officers as defendants will help materially in requiring restitution "to be made for the alleged waste and graft from which the Endowment Fund has suffered."

HAITIAN FUNDS LEAD-TO ADVISER LEAVING SERVICE Resigns After Fruitless Effort To Secure Systematized Auditing
Capt. Napoleon B. Marshall, for six years a clerk in the United States Consulate at Port-au-Prince, Haiti, has returned to New York, having resigned his position on January 1. Returning on the same boat, the Panama Railway steamship Christophal, was Dr. A. C. Mitpaugh, former financial adviser and general receiver for Haiti, who resigned January 10, after numerous clashes with the American H.gh Commissioner, Brig. Gen. John H Russell and other official because of their alleged extravagance.
Capt. Marshall, commenting on conditions in Haiti, made no statement as to the reason for his own resignation, but he said that Dr. Millspaugh's troubles were common knowledge in Haiti, and that the principal reason for present unpleasantness was that the financial adviser wanted central control and responsibility in the management of the country's finances, but that this was denied him by the High Commissioner.
No Accounting For Funds
In fact, said Capt. Marshall, he was told bluntly that he had nothing to say about funds of the Gendarmerie, although the Department of Public Works had spent millions of dollars of Haitian money without an accounting to the people. Gen. Evans former chief of staff under Gen. Russell is now chief of the Gendarmerie. When Dr. Millspaugh requested the State Department to send expert accountants to Haiti, Gen. Russell peremptorily urged that the State Department request Dr Millspaugh to resign, and while admonition was pending, it is reported that unaudited accounts and vouchers of the Department of Public Works were destroyed by a mysterious fire.
Clashed With. Pres. Borno
Besides his clashes with the American officials, Dr Millspaugh called President Borno to account for remitting money to the Haitian Minister at London for rent of a house which had not been rented, admonishing the President not to make a similar expenditure again and then seek for reimbursement. Finally, on January 9, after further urging by Gen. Russell, the State Department asked for Dr Millbaugh's resignation
PAGE THREE
Capt. Marshall described himself as a country where the Government is rich while the people are poor, "taxed to death," with the American administration sharing in the perilous wastefulness. He there was nothing in the treaty which Haiti pledged its customary repay a $40,000,000 loan from National City Bank justifying American military occupation of the entire country.
Capt. Marshall was a football player and champion quarter miler at Havervard. During the World War, he served in the 15th Infantry under Col. William Hayward, was wounded and was cited for gallant action. He is now writing a book on conditions in Haiti.

Our Colored Missions is the name of a religious monthly published by the Catholic Board for Mission Work Among the Colored People, a corporation chartered under the laws of Tennessee. Up to the time of his death, this publication was edited by the late Monsignor John E. Burke, whose liberal sentiments and zealous work in behalf of the Church in New York had won him the respect and esteem of all who came in contact with him. Under his editorship the magazine was distinguished for its unwavering devotion to the best interests of the Negro and the reprobation of the spirit of caste and race prejudice, whether in the church or outside.
Under the present director general of missions, the Rev. Edward C. Kramer, D. D., who seems to be the responsible head of the publication, a different spirit has become apparent, as was indicated by the following paragraph which was printed in the December issue, under the heading of "Here and There".
Mr. Fred R. Moore, colored Republican alderman of New York City, or one of the editor of The New York Age, must have lost the right perspective of things, when, in the column "Comments by the Age Editors on Sayings of other Editors" the following remark was permitted to find place:
"Even such journalistic scavengers as the Fellowship Forum have their uses. If it has caused white Southerners to divide their hatred of the Negro with some other object, even for a time, it has served a useful purpose."
After the politico-partisan blindness has lifted, the editor of The New York Age will see the low cowardice of his comment
This comment, as to the desirability of the South dividing its hatred of the Negro with some other object, was based on the conclusion arrived at by a student in sociology who made an investigation of that section a few years ago and published the results in book form. The premise laid down upon this subject, that the oppression of the black race in that section was due to the fact that the whites had no other objects upon which to divide their hatreds and racial antipathies, seemed warranted by his study of the situation. Hence the editor of The Age has frequently referred to his views and adopted them as based on a substantial foundation
If the writer of the article in Our Colored Missions possessed more of the spirit of the Good Samaritan, who ministered to the stranger who fell by the way-side and less of the spirit of the Pharisee who deemed himself holier than his neighbor, he might appreciate this view of the situation and be willing to share somewhat of the obloquy that is now concentrated on the wearers of dark skins. A little of the spirit that animated the Catholic fathers who carried the Gospel to the Soudan and other parts of Africa, would not be a bad addition to the equipment for mission work in this country.
If there is any form of "low cowardice" involved in this view of the situation, the propagator of a faith who shrinks from sharing the hardships of his would-be converts, is not wholly exempt from that defect.
CHRISTIAN SEGREGATION
The necessity for the separation of white and black Christians, whether at their devotions or in the achievement of culture or education, is forever bobbing up in the two organizations devoted to the training of the youth of America in the ethics of Christianity. The Young Men's Christian Association appears to have reached a more workable plan to obviate awkward situations than its sister association. While there are separate buildings and equipment provided for the darker members, they are made to feel welcome on those occasions when representatives of the various branches gather at some general assembly.
In the Young Women's Christian Association such general gatherings, which bring together members of both races, are frequently the cause of embarrassment on both sides owing to the arbitrary custom, of separating delegations, and accommodating the white members
in one place while sending the colored ones to a lodging "among their own people." This is irrespective of the personal desires of the visitors of both races, who in most cases would rather keep together. An incident of this sort/created an unpleasant situation at the headquarters of the white organization in New York recently, where several groups of girls came from other places, to attend a general meeting. In one of these groups of five, two of the number were coined. Regardless of the wishes of the group, they were separated, so that the color line might be preserved intact, and the colored girls sent to other places for accommodation.
The whole business of segregation on account of color in organizations for Christian work is inconsistent, and ridiculous in the extreme. The quality of religion that fears contact with another human being, solely on account of a difference of complexion, is rather strained. Color discrimination and segregation in work of this character should be eliminated, if the work is to retain any claim to be classed as Christian. The mission of service to humanity should have no color line and none should be drawn in its administration.
So long as a color line is drawn in the work of these two organizations, the title of Christian will be a misgender.

All the surveys and observations that have been undertaken its agency have been for the of furnishing bases for programs of social service. The study of data and statistics, the maps and diagrams, the giving and the printing of reports, central to the main purpose of in industrial and housing condition members of the race, who have a part of city life.

It need for such work as the intended to accomplish is espired in New York City. The city has secured a permanent land, where it has arranged to welcome welfare organizations. The increase of the local work was spasmized by the late William H. who was instrumental in sequestration. After his death, his life work was continued by his son, William H.

The original aim of the Urban League was to better the conditions of city life for the Negro. All the surveys and investigations that have been undertaken through its agency have been for the purpose of furnishing bases for practical programs of social service. The assembling of data and statistics, the making of charts and diagrams, the giving of lectures and the printing of reports are all incidental to the main purpose of improving industrial and housing conditions for the members of the race, who have become a part of city life. The need for an organization to function in this particular has grown greater with the influx of newcomers in all the large cities. Hence the need for the maintenance and extension of the work of the league in all those cities where it has established branches.
The need for such work as the league is intended to accomplish is especially marked in New York City. The local branch has secured a permanent base in Harlem, where it has arranged to house other welfare organizations. The industrial phase of the local work was specially emphasized by the late William H. Baldwin, who was instrumental in starting the league. After his death, his interest in the work was continued by his widow and his son, William H. Baldwin, 2d. L. Hollingsworth Wood who succeeded Mrs. Baldwin, also accomplished some effective work through the local organization. A phase of the local work for which Mr. Arthur Holden is responsible, should be the unselfish encouragement of the Boy Scout movement, cooperating to bring about a friendly contact between the boys of both races. The value of such a movement as a basis for establishing better relation between the two races and as a deterrent to juvenile delinquency has been recognized by varius authorities. The development of a Boy Scout movement among Negroes is one of the ways through which the tendency toward crime could be reduced and moral discipline inculcated. Scouting is now held to be more than a play program, it is rather a scientific method of developing character.
With activities of this sort as a part of the program for the local branch of the Urban League, there is every reason why it should play an active and useful role in the development of Harlem. With harmonious relations among its officers and members, and an executive force bent on giving their best efforts toward achieving the objects for which the league was founded, a definite program of work, should be carried out, which should embrace both old and young. The opening of opportunities for racial progress is a necessary part of the program.

A curious innovation was practiced in the presentation of the so-called Jazz opera, "Jonny Spielt Auf," at the Metropolitan Opera House, one day last week. At a benefit performance given in the afternoon for the Babies Hospital, Michael Bohnen, according to an observant reporter, "as hero tried out a new make-up of Harlem brown instead of blackface." And yet at the first presentation of this opera, a good deal of doubt was expressed as to the propriety of presenting a Negro character as a hero in grand opera, and the flimsy pretext was adopted of changing the character of Jonny from a genuine American Negro to a white minstrel who appeared in burnt cork
THE NEW YORK AGE
In the original version of the work, which was composed by Ernest Krensk, and first produced at the Leipsic Opera house some two years ago, the hero is presented as a debonair Negro from America in a Paris hotel, making love to chambermaid and prima donna alike, but more anxious to gain possession of a precious Amati violin. He finally steals the violin and starts for America, which he reaches after a series of adventures and ends in triumph playing on the precious violin astride a huge globe, while all the other actors dance to his fiddling. Mr. Krenek's opera was heard with great favor by large audiences in Germany and Austria, and was regarded by some as a bitter satire on the present, and a prophecy of the future. Samuel Chotzinoff, the musical critic of the New York World, ventured to believe that it was neither and said.
Johnny with his fiddle and saxophone is a real, an amusing phenomenon, but he has not stolen Danielello's Amati, for Danielello is at this moment playing his Brahms and Beethoven to more people than ever before. The world's culture is always safe in spite of telephones, locomotive, radio, jazz, and sex. Johnny, as a matter of fact, is no Frankenstein. He is just a nice, lusty colored boy with a flair of sentimentality and rhythm. He is certainly a more talented musician than his operatic biographer.
All the same, the Metropolitan management lacked the moral courage to present Jonny as he was played abroad, and sought to make him a blackface comedian in order to spare the susceptibilities of its subscribers. This seemed a rather absurd and unnecessary, precaution, as the higher the social status of the individual the less concern he is apt to manifest over superficial differences of race or color. As the writer of "The Magic Island" aptly brought out, it was not the wife of the General commanding that feared to exchange social courtesies with native Haitians, but the wives of the recently promoted members of the marine corps, whose own social status was obscure or uncertain.
Now that Jonny has assumed a "Harlem Brown," he must at least appear closer to his creator's intention.
NOVELISTS AND JOKESMITHS.
Fresh from the reading of a recent novel by a young writer of the race we are reminded of what a wellknown magazine editor once said concerning the social significance of what are commonly accepted as Negro jokes. According to this authority jokes about the Negro are constructed upon the following formula: Dialect, which includes such words as "yuh," "yassah," "zackley," "berry," and other variations of similar distorted English; situations involving the stealing or eating of watermelons, shooting craps, the use of razors as weapons, casuistry in religion and morals, superstitions as to lucky and unlucky signs, male laziness, female looseness of morals, readiness at lying and the misplacing of high sounding words.
As a sample of this kind of stuff, the editor quoted the following.
Going up in a Fifth avenue skyscraper the other day, I said to the Negro elevator man: "Do you know by what power this elevator is run?"

At the risk of being declared devoid of a sense of humor, the magazine editor protested that contributions of this sort to the murth of a nation demand too great a sacrifice of qualities which command respect. And it might be added that not infrequently the elevator operator has acquired an education which would often secure a better job, if it were for the color of his cuticle. The truth is that jokes of this nature appeal only to the sense of humor of those who are totally unacquainted with the subjects of them. Humor is said to imply a certain lack of sympathy, and to know too much about any one racial group is apt to spoil the point of a joke aimed at its weaknesses or foibles. The conclusion is that a new order of Negro jokes is demanded in order to meet the changing phases of racial characteristics. Craps has been adopted by so many whites that it is no longer exclusively a Negro pastime. Chicken stealing is practiced by whites as well as blacks, and lying, laziness and immorality are common to both races.
If it is incumbent upon the jokesmiths to recognize these changing conditions, the writers of race plays and novels should be equally alert in keeping their material up-to-date. We are surprised that so modern a writer as Wallace Thurman in his book entitled "The Blacker the Berry," should have expended his efforts in painting another picture of sexual immorality as found on the byways of Harlem. This phase of Harlem life has been depicted with a deferter touch by both Carl Van Vechten and Claude McKay, the former in the higher circles and the latter in the lower. There is nothing left to add to the cordid story except that the conditions
A JIM CROW SITUATION IN HAITI
By E. W. HUTTER
(From "Plain Talk", March, 1929)
In the West Indies the finest aristocracy bears considerable Negro blood, and this Negro strain enjoys a culture certainly not surpassed by that of the Boston Brahmins. But does this impress the gallant boys in our Marine Corp? Not at all. They established the colorline in Haiti and set up Nordic supremacy. Mr. Hutter is a native of Lynchburg, Virginia, and a graduate of the University of Virginia.
When the American marines descended on Haiti in 1915 they brought more with them than their guns. Practically every uniform was stuffed from the tassel-rowned hat to the tip of the toe with Jim-Growism. During the twelve years of intervention a figure of the black man that is half humorous and often misunderstood every move made by Americans there, not only the marines but virtually the entire force of the American occupation. Every visitor to Haiti is stuck with one curious fact. The marine's swaggering boisterousness is vocalized in unmistakable accents—he is from the South. It might be presumed that southerners were chosen for the military of Haiti for their familiarity with Negroes and their idea that a nigger is a nigger whether in Georgia or in Haiti.
The Negro has received better treatment in parts of the South (though assuredly not in the jungles of Georgia and Mississippi) than in the North, it is true, but the classse who have dealt out a modicum of humaneness are not the kind who join the marines. Those who have been humane are from the upper and the middle classes. The marines have no particular social standing.
So we have the surprising spectacle of a country free, black, and 112 years old saddled with a uniformed constabulary recruited from another country and class whose hatred of the blacks is accentuated by an economic fear. These lowly educated and social status of the Negro in the South, now have the power, gun in hand, and the United States behind them, to lay down the law to his, brother in the Tropics.
The Haitians were entirely unprepared for the attitude of the Americans. Theirs was a French civilization, and Latins do not draw the color line. But there has been a social line in Haiti since the first slaves were imported from Africa. Although the French consorted freely with the blacks, and held the position of leader recognized and sent to Europe for culture and polish, the French remained the landowners until they were driven from the island in 1804. The bloodshed of the French Revolution and the cruelty of their own masters inflamed the slaves into a rebellion that was ultimately successful. The victors declared their independence and proclaimed their country a free nation. In place of slaves and slatterers and departed French, the natives soon found new masters in the descendants of the French and the blacks.
Until the Americans were called in 1915 it was the mulattoes who controlled the destinies of Haiti. This aristocracy tended to become lighter and lighter, for the downes of the dusky bellies were a bait strong enough to draw other Frenchmen from the homeland. But no family attained to such whiteness as totally to obscure an occasional coal-black grandmother in the background. These darker-hued forchears were treated in much the same way by the family as poor and uncouth cousins from the country are handled by rich and well-off families, were unfashionable, their color and features did not off set the imported Paris gowns to the best advantage. Therefore they were relegated to back seats, and the families called themselves French.
The aristocracy would not and the peasantry could not run the shops, and so the middle class was drawn from foreigners, mostly Syrians. When we speak of the Haitian attitude to the Americans we mean the upper-class Haitians, who are more temperate toward its environment than so many cattle. And until 1915 the aristocrats knew little about Americans. They were not interested in America. They considered her civilization too new; they preferred to go to the original source, Europe for theirs. It came as somewhat surprising, because cover that they were not the social equals of the contemptuous Nordics from the north.
When President Sam butchered the 167 political prisoners he held as hostages and was himself butchered in turn, his body hacked to bits, and even his hair cut up to make pieces for the rabble to dance around, the majority of Haitians were much relieved to see the American battleship that had been hovering conveniently near in the harbor at Port au Prince steam in the wake of the attack. They were tired of the endless revolution and bloodshed, and were grateful to these policemen for putting an end to it. They showed their gratitude by inviting the Americans into their homes, where they opened up cases of champagne and barrels of the only perfect drink ever distilled, Haitian rum. They got them drunk, they feasted them, they let them dance with their daughters and wives; in short, they did everything to warm a marine heart. The marine reef was too weak to boobooze and everything went along well with the marines and their hosts until Haiti was judged safe for white women. This meant that wives of marines were shipped down and the married ones would have to forcewear the pleasures of
native comradship. It would never do to carry their wives to a nigger party; but life in the tropics was unbearable without recreation, so they had their own parties and very soon organized the American Club, the first rule of which was that no Haitian was to darken its doors. The Haitians were incensed by the changed attitude and wealth of the people, the hospitality of the Cercle Bellevue from the Americans. Such were the relations between the two at the end of the first year.
Perhaps the Haitian disparages the results of the occupation, but to an unbiased visitor his judgements come much nearer the truth than the contemptuous claims of the Americans. Granting that the Americans have done everything they boast to prove, sanitary conditions, taught the natives improved methods of agriculture, opened up the country by roads and bridges, and enlightened Haiti in general—granting all this, Haiti still has an excellent case against American intervention. America has no great respect, as America has no great respect she has shown the world by scrapping her own Bill of Rights in an attempted regulation of the diet of her citizens; but in Haiti she has surpassed herself.
The Americans place a dummy in the President's chair; he (or they—it is all the same) appoints his Council of State; the Council, in turn, reelegs him at the expirations of his kerns of office, where he remains unpaid death row inmates. He welcomes good ones in the eyes of the Americans, and the present one, Lous Borno, seems due for a long life if his bodyguard of marines keeps up its watchful protection. According to the Haitian constitution the literate populace elects the Senate and the Senate elects the President, who must be the son of a native-born Haitian man, a naturalized citizen, a Venezuelan, and accordingly, Borno is not eligible for any high office. But that does not prevent the occupation from placing him in the chair and keeping him President with the help of God and a few marines, for as long as the marines see fit. Borno and his fellowes are scorned by the fellow of white palace, exhortant salaries with no work attached, white aides in attendance, and marines for protection
It seems strange to first see the upper-class Haitian defending the peasantry against its oppressors when we consider that the Haitian has always been heartless in the exploitation of his lowly
(Continued on Seventh Page) An Incident of Empire
(From The N. Y. World)
Every one knows that the "Haitian Republic" is really an American, protectorate; that President Louis Borno is a pawn in America's hands, and that Haitian authority is concentrated in a group of American "treaty officers." They include our High Commissioner, Brig Gen John H Russell, our Financial Adviser and Receiver, General, Dr. A. C. Millspough, and our Chief Gendarmerie, Major Gen. Frank M. Evans. Dr. Millspough has now resigned. He is silent as to the reasons. But The World publishes a statement by N. B. Marshall, former Harvard student, army Captain and lawyer, and for six years ended Jan. I employed in our Port-au-Prince Consulate, who returned on Dr. Millspough's ship. He declares that General Russell urged the State Department to call for Dr. Millspough's resignation because the latter attacked our official extravagance.
The Department on Public Works had spent millions of dollars of Haitian money without an accounting to the people. When the Americans came in 1915 they immediately abolished the Haitian Chamber of Accounts and promised to give the Haitians a more modern and efficient system of accounting. For thirteen year- that promise never has been fulfilled. Dr. Mollspazhag requested the State Department to send expert accounts to Haiti
These are grave accusations. They include assertions that a mysterious, fire recently burned unaudited accounts and vouchers, and that Haitian roadmaking has consulted American conveniences rather than Haitian needs. There are two special reasons why such accusations should be cleared up as quickly as possible. One is that they are apparently believed by a compatible party. The Haitian public policy is the other that it has unquestionably been part of American policy in Haiti to provide large public improvements in a minimum of time and with a minimum of Haitian opportunity for discussion or control.

COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON THE SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS
practically alone in the state in the work which it is doing for those of the Negro race. And yet this institution, which is recognized as one well worthy of the praise of citizens, is battling for its very existence before the appropriations committee of the General Assembly. It is a serious situation because North Carolina is pledged to provide educational opportunities for its citizens of both colors and there is no reason for neglecting A. and L. College.
A curb appears to have been put on police brutality in New Orleans, according to the Louisiana Weekly, which said.
In the past two weeks patrolmen, who abused their power by striking Negro prisoners unnecessarily, have either been tried in a court of justice and fined, or dismissed from the force. This clean-cut method of handling cases when proven, show that the Chief is above reproach and will have the respect and good will of the entire Negro population in the city.
It is indeed a blessing that our new police chief has a kindly attitude toward our group, because previous administration, coppers, when making an arrest, delighted in beating colored men and women to the ground without the least provocation.
We do not censure policemen in making arrest, but we do believe that a man should be treated as such and not like a brute. A prisoner's guilt and punishment should be determined and meted out at the till of the arresting officer with a black-jack or service revolver.
We believe that we can safely assume that the Negro group of New Orleans is grateful to Chief Ray for his humane method of handling prisoners.
Experience has shown that it is not safe to allow officers of the law to use brutal methods in dealing with prisoners, even if there is a certain amount of law alleged to reside in the nightstick.
Setting forth the idea of thrift as the aim of the Tuskegee Cooperative Building and Loan Association, with assets of $792,339,441, the Tuskegee Messenger said.
A remarkable feature of the association is its exceptionally economical management. The total operating cost, including the fees of the state bank examiner, under whose supervision the association operates, license, supplies, stationery and miscellaneous items totaled $730, a remarkably low figure, and considerably less than one per cent of the business handled during the year. The total earnings amounted to $7,203,44. all of which was paid to stockholders with exception of $482, which was added to the reserve fund, now amounting to $2,325,32.
The Tukegee Cooperative Building and Loan Association is one of the oldest and most substantial of the business ventures of the colored people of the Institute and community. It has just completed its thirty-third year having been organized in 1892. It has been a most helpful entity in promoting home ownership and thrift and has assisted many families in the acquisition of farm properties. It is an extraordinary testimonial of the ability of Negroes to conservatively and successfully handle a large cooperative business. It is a direct out-growth of Booker Washington's program of thrift and home owning, which effectively organized in the hearts and minds of those with whom he came in contact and who otherwise came under his influence.
Economy of management is an essential feature in enterprises of this character, as well as caution in the making of investments.
An Ohio village now has a member of the race for mayor, according to the Cleveland Gazette, which said
Arthur Johnston, repair toman in the county soil department and a candidate last summer. Tor Republican remination for state representative, Monday, was believed to be the only Afro-American mayor in Ohio 'Though there may be one in Rendville and Wilberforce, too. As president of Miles Heights council Johnston became acting mayor, Saturday, when Mayor Dennis H. Van Benken died, suddenly He will become mayor, according to state law, as soon as he is sworn in by any mayor public
Johnston, who is 37, has been a councilman in Miles Heights sure
"We realize, of course, that the appropriations committee is confronted with a great number of problems and no matter what its final disposition of them there will be displeased groups of the people. We would not attempt to dictate to this committee what it should do because we do not have the facts before us which have been laid before it for the past two weeks by his institutions and colleges for which provision must be made. At the same time, we hope that the needs of A. and T. College will be given serious consideration and the appropriation will be sufficiently large that the work may continue uninterrupted." "The legislature of North Carolina, composed entirely of white men, has a great responsibility resting upon it to care for the educational needs of Negro citizens of the State and their children. The very fact that the Negroes are powerless to prevent any discrimination against themselves, should impel the legislators to give them a fair deal. We should not forget the plea of the great Aynonck that educational opportunities be provided for all children of the State, North Carolina be white or black, we believe, recognize the generally, we owe to the colored citizens in our mudst and we certainly hope that the legislators will not be reuant to their trust."
the village was incorporated, three years ago. He was elected as representative of the village's large Afro-American population and was made council president, last January. He led all other council candidates, getting more than 500 votes out of approximately 600 cast. Johnston has been an active worker in the Republican county organization for several years, and was appointed to his post in the county road department, two years later. He was born in Bata Creek, Mifflin, and attended the schools there. He attended a medical school there for two years, but gave up his pursuit of that profession and came to Cleveland, Of Johnston several Mikes Heights citizens said yesterday: "He's been the smartest councilman we've had"
This mayor appears to have earned his promotion, judging from two records.
Speaking about an isolated suburb of Memphis and the subterranean passages that cut it off from the rest of the world, the Memphis Triangle said:
Orange Mound is a beautiful subdivision and the people living in this area are to be congratulated on their homes, churches, schools and enterprises.
Their churches are the most beautiful in the city—One red press brick edifice and the other a cream press brick porched behind cedars.
They have their own Post Office, a beautiful playground, bought and maintained by the city and two large schools, one a city school and the other a high school with a combined faculty of about forty teachers and a combined enrollment of about 2,000 students.
But Orange Mound is isolated. Two subways separate it from the car line and they are so fluffy and close it is punishment for human beings to pass through them. Yet this is the only outlet this enterprise community has to reach the city other than a few of its inhabitants the speedway and can drive through the streets. The subways are a disgrace to the city and county administrations and we believe that if a committee of reputable citizens would call attention to the condition it would be corrected.
One thing that's sure, the present officials of the city and county have demonstrated their desire to see a dedicated living environment established for our people in and around Memphis.
Sometimes the trouble is within us and we blame others.
This denunciation of subway has a familiar sound to New Yorkers, although it is to be doubted if anything worse than the New York variety, can exist.
The Gary Commonwealth which does not allow any false modesty to prevent its claim to the subtitle of "Indiana's Greatest Weekly Newspaper," with its issue of January 25 printed an eight page supplement containing notices of the sale of real estate for delinquent city taxes. The editorial page of the same issue was also given up to the printing of official notices of the Board of Public Works relating to assessment rolls. Evidently the Commonwealth Publishing Company knows how to secure corporation advertising from the city of Gary, in县 county of Lake It may be the "greatest" in that respect
Buffalo has a race weekly called the Progressive Herald, with Zenebia A. Alexander as editor and secretary, which announces that "places public interest ahead of all private considerations." It is strictly independent in politics, against discrimination in any form, for better housing conditions, less vice and a cleaner community. It also demands Negroes in jury cases where Negroes are involved, together with equality before the law and equal wages for Negro and white workers. It urged support of a new cooperative movement by the "greater immediate community, and as many other persons who hold themselves as contributing to the economic prosperity of the community." This is a pretty comprehensive endorsement of the project.
Relating how the so-called racial integrity law of Virginia latters snag, the St. Luke Herald of Richmond said.
The laugh is on Virginia. New years ago the State Legislature became a laughing-stock before the world. The Nordic Solons worked for months over a Racial Integrity Bill, aimed at keeping the White Blood free from alien infiltration of the Negro stock. This was preseason news. The Saxon rascals had made baskets of the Negro population of the nonwealth.
Recently this news item came over the wires from Sheen in James Reedy, a white man, who treated for marrying Miss Larry Coop, of alleged Negro extraction. The couple were not married in Virginia, but in Hagerstown, MD. But the authorities of Virginia held that the law of the state had been violated because they had come back to Virginia to make it their home. It does not seem possible that a civilized commonwealth like the State of Virginia could be guilty of such a toolhardly course of punishment nonsense. It should there be to make it so keeperner Nordies from joining in mob blood into the veins of those of whom they name interest.
This legislation to forbid admixture of the races in Virginia appears to be a case of locking the stable after the horse is gone, as the leader of the Anglo-Saxon clan testified.

Grace Church of Harlem
A beautiful Sunday morning
bought out by the congregation
bought out on Sunday.
The choir was at its test and hang with unusual sweetness and understanding, especially the anthem, "Praise be to the Lord."
Dr. Garner took his text from Psalms 6422. The meek shall eat and be satiated, they shall praise the Lord that seek him. The sermon was mixed with much food for thought and the biggest insight sent home with the congregation was that we are too prone to be saddened with just enough of Jesus in our hearts to help us through our daily needs, but God is not saddened with us. He wants us to have a love in our hearts big enough to embrace the whole world if need be.
After the sermon Dr. Garner can install the new Deans for 1929. James Pratt, chairman of Board, P. C. Byes, vice-chairman, Henry Mays, treasurer, A. Chote and J. H Harley
the funeral of Mrs. Florence Wilkinson, wife of Walter Wilkinson, immediately followed the service Mrs. Wilkinson resided at 860 Brooks avenue, and was a charter member of Grace Church. She was a sister of Mrs. Ethel Hauley, Dr. Larry preached the sermon, assisted by Rev. Mr. Andrews and Mr. Baxter. The evening service was in charge of the pastor.

of the church to meet in conference with him, there was a very encouraging meeting for an hour. Like the other churches that have heavy financial responsibilities, St. Paul Church has to study ways and means by which to meet them. The officers, Turner, Ware, Lovell, Hammond, Gibbs, Sparks and others, who know what it is to have to put over the program of the church thus far, were on the job when the matter of financing came to attention. These men have made their personal pledges, and each makes himself responsible to go out and get others to do likewise, so that the success of the coming rally is already assured. Our B, Y P U. now holds its meeting on Sunday evenings, and the young people turn out in goodly mood. The pastor regrets that the pastor cannot be with them through the entire meeting as herofore. He is, however, with the young people in heart, and will be with them in person, so soon as he has recovered from sickness that has threatened to put him off his feet.
Our prayer services are altogether different to what they have ever been. Beginning with New Year's night, the pastor called a few members together, and started off with a prayer service. From that time

on, a noticeable change has taken place. If you come to our prayer service, you will find that the pastor makes a brief talk and then the meeting is turned over to those present. From that time over, without even a song, each person gets on his or her knees and prays sometimes several times, and on their same time. This is something never seen before in any prayer service. What is the result? It is that at each service of the church on Sunday we are having conversions. Sunday morning the pastor was out, and after the opening service, he preached on "Suffering for the Gospel" Sake. Selective were then sung, and personal messages for the site "With the church of them being a graduate of Union Theological Seminary, this city, with his brother.
At the evening service when Rev. James Williams, who is with us in revival for two weeks, preached, there were two more happy conversions, a young man and woman. Thus God is stamping His approval upon the work of the church upon him. Another of the most encouraging features is the fact that so many of those who are active in Sunday school and B. Y. P.

Mt. Olivet Baptist Church
The morning service at Mount Olivet Baptist Church, Sunday, February 10; was well attended. Rev. Samuel Comfort preached from the 91st Psalm, 1st verse, "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."
He explained the ancient custom of worship among the Hebrews, in the temple, there were divisions—the outer court, the inner court, the holy chamber, and the holy of most holy chamber, over which hung a veil, behind which only priests were once held. They in turn would belong to the masses of people. Now it is possible for each individual to enter into the secret place of the Most High and receive joy and happiness. He reminded us that all inventions, however new, were in existence since creation, but man has only come into the knowledge of them. When we are in contact with the law we can bring our desires to pass, but we suffer when we are not in touch with God is seeking and when put ourselves in the right attitude we cannot stop the blessings. This sermon was instructive and inspiring.
three persons were baptized
The two Bible classes met and
were well attended. The Philatheca
class will have for its topic, Sunday,
February 17, "Can we believe that life never ends?"
At the evening service the priests
preached from Luke 10:25-29.
"But, while I will try to justify
himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor?"
He retreated the behavior of the
priest, the Levite and the Samaritans toward the unfortunate victim of thieves. He spoke of the narrow, prejudiced mind of the lawyer who answered Jesus' question concerning who was neighbor unto the man, by saying, "He who showed mercy," instead of naming the Samaritans. He emphasized the words of Jesus when He told the lawyer to go and do likewise. It is not what we prods, it is what we desire. Our fears, "I will know them," was followed by extending the hand of fellowship to 19 new members. Communion service followed this.
Two people joined during the day
and $5177 was collected.
Paradise Baptist Church
At the morning hour of worship, the church was filled to the utmost capacity to hear Rev H W. Stanley deliver the message "If I could only move the item on his garment." Rev Stanley in emphasizing the needs of the faith in the power of God stated, "In taking the power of God in consideration one is the ignorance on our part for lack of confidence in God and ignorance always leads to needless delay, misfortune, pain and desperation and until we enshrine our faith in collegial power, such shall be our lot." He chose the woman who was afflicted with an issue of blood for twelve years as an illustration in order to show clearly the reason for our long suffering mentally, physically, and financially. At J oclock Rev Stanley preached a missionary sermon at the Purica Church in New York. He is I am a Honey Bee to my Friends and a Singing Bee to My Friends. His sermon was instructive and interesting to all.
Sunday evening the set will be conducted by Brother M. C. Wilson. His subject was "There shall be a Hardful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountain from 2nd Palm, 10th verse. He explained very clearly how the handful of corn represented the Church of God. Just as corn grew so shall the church grow. Though the storms of life may beat against it cannot be moved, it is planted in Christ. In concluding he left with us as. Regardless of how low one's station in life may be you can achieve lofts heights provided your heart is right with God. Rev Stanley's subject for next Sunday will be "A Man's Threat is the Devil's Blowing Horse."
St. James Pres. Church
St James Church, on Douglas-Lincoln Day, Sunday, February 10, was the scene of great interest and enthusiasm. Following the February communion of February 3, when a large communicant group was received into new membership, the entire services of this Sunday were most significant. In the church school, under direction of the superintendent, Elder L. Stockson, a Douglas-Lincoln program was observed at 10:15 a.m. following the assembling of classes and departments. The evident growth of the church school was a cause of rejoicing to all, from the tiny kindergarteners to the adult little classes of the afternoon session.
In the morning church service at 11 o'clock the pastor, Rev William Lloyd Iintre, introduced a visiting speaker to give the renowned poem "Abraham Lincoln" by Markham and, selections from Dunbail and Jessie Faiset Two pupils from the high school department stood at attention at the Christian and educational durings prior of the program. The pastor then gave the sermon from the theme "Prophet of Yesterday and Today" loving that are basked in ancient Israel
nounced the sins of his day and built a new national conscience, so Douglas and Lincoln were similar prophets in the history of America. At the afternoon hour the Brotherhood and Young People's Discussion Group met with splendid programs, and the Young People's Society at 7 p. m., followed by the visit of Juanita Household of Ruth 4091, G. U. O. O. P., who held their 18th annual sermon in this church, with the pastor preaching from the theme, "The Gospel of Kindness," Ruth 3:16.

Siloam Presbyterian Church
Perhaps no service of more import and of greater inspiration has been held at Siloam. Dr. George Shippen Stark, pastor, than the service at Sunday held by the young people of the church. Just prior to their program Rose Ida Lafler and Mrs. Rose Daniels gave an interesting report of the Afro-American Presbyterian Council held last fall in the St. James Presbyterian Church and of their impressions gained and benefits derived by the contact
Miss Lillian Windsor, was in charge of the young people's service and presided in a most pleasing manner giving a clear and understanding report of the great Young People's Conference held in Brooklyn the week previous. She told of the various discussion groups themed in the conference being "most the best Christ Christ was given to them as the One Perfect Example, that life is real, is earnest and that their lives should so shine through character, testimony and service, that life is fascinating, to find the best it is and then to give the best. A pleasing program of instrumental and vocal music was presented by many of the young people. A special guest was Miss Dorothea Valentet young musicist who entered a local solo. The pastor at the time compared the young people and all who took part and expressed the instilable pride of the membership in the south of the church.
The Bible school met at 1.15 p.m. An interesting program is to be presented by the pupils of the intermediate department on the first Sunday in March. These programs are creating a spirit of great interest in the school and helping the pupils develop the ability of the pupils in the worth their life and in showing their long affection touches all sides on life.

THE material contrast between the structures with which **Booker T. Washington** began and the present great, ample and commodious plan for the future is one which he admired. But satisfactory and encouraging this is it, but it is an imperfect measure of Dr. Washington's work and achievement. The education and annual turning out of two or three hundred young men and women for five full days to build their families is of course more commendable and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he did and sought to do. His purpose was to radiate from a center like Tuskegee the light of the nominally but ever larger truth which must form the basis of real education, for his life and work WILLIAM HOWARD TAPT, Chief Justice United States Supreme Court.

Rev C. W. Moorman of the Brooklyn Federation of Churches in a sermon based on "We are laborers together with God," at the Sunday morning service, said: "God marred the face of the earth and cursed it because he saw that loafing was not good for man and that to allow men to help Him cultivate the earth was good, making him Godlike, and labor honorable. Second, the word is not a bad idea that cooperation not competition, is the life of business and existence.

Before Hampton Quint
Hampton Institute-Still burning from the defeat suffered at the hands of Seminary the Seasiders defeated Lincoln University 39-25 here Saturday, February 9.
With Hargroves leading the offensive, the Hampton quintet swept down the floor time and again by means of pretty passing. Cotton or Hargrove making a goal, Coach Williams' charges fought with their accustomed intensiveness, passed and shot with deadly accuracy, and gave dans a treat in the performance of the pastime now in season. Cotton lead the scoring with seven field goals and a foul; Hargrove was close behind with five field goals and three, fouls; Alexander got two and a foul; McGowan got two; Gates got two.
Although outplayed throughout the game, the Lions put up a stubborn, flashy game. Weatherless played a great game on the offensive, making several pretty shots from near mid-floor. Avery, however, proved himself both a good player and a great player, again he brought the ball down the floor, and time and again he blocked Hampton shots. Undoubtedly he played the steadfast game for Lincoln. DeCosta showed up well when he got in. Avery was high point man for the Lions with four field goals; Weatherless was runner up with two field goals and two fouls. DeCosta got two; Sydkens got one. DeCosta got one. Hampton showed superior form throughout the game, and after the first few minutes of play was never seriously threatened.

In Millrose 600 But Aids Canada's Relay
Changing his distance from 660 to 1000 yards is believed by friends to be the cause of Phil Edwards' defeat in the Millipse 600, the feature race of the annual Millrose games at Madison Square Garden. Edwards was beaten on first for the first time in the Cafferty of Holy Cross. McCafferty finished about four yards ahead of the colored star.
In the international medley relay, another feature of the evening, Edwards ran with the Canadian team, composed of Olympic stars, and it was the running of the colored star that brought victory to Canada in this event. Edwards ran the 800 meter relay and wrought eight hard belays to about eight yards. The 15,000 fans present gave him an ovation at the end of this race.
Knoxville and Fisk Divide Two Cage Games
Knoxville, Tennessee—The Knoxville College basketball team won and lost in a two-game series with the Fisk University cagers on the local gymnasium court last Friday and Saturday nights, February 1 and 2.
The Knoxville Bulldogs captured the first game by a close score of 7-5, leading Fisk by a good margin throughout the game; but the second game was won by the invaders 38-35 in one of the fastest games ever witnessed on the local floor.
The defeat received from Fisk Saturday night is the first that the K. C. five has received at the hands of a college team. Victories are held over the fast Clark University team the Morristown College cagers as well as over some of the best "Y" teams in the country.
Both games with Fisk were hard-fought and neither team admitted defeat until the final whistle. For Knoxville Sanford and Lugene Johnson, the "lambs" from Cincinnati, played the best game and the offense was built with two players. Sanford, twenty-four points, in the two games, while Johnson was a close second with twenty-one points. Both boys play a fine defensive game as well and their guarding is outstanding. Captain Carl Will aims played a good game also and was particularly strong on defense. For the invaders, Yost starred and was high point man in each game, making a total of thirty-two points. He is undoubtedly one of the best players in Jones and Carruthers, forwards, were also mainstays for the Fisk team.
In the first of the two games the Knoxville aggreagton undoubtedly played a better brand of basketball than the Fisk crew; but in the second game, although it was a rough and-tumble affair, Fisk held the upper hand from beginning to end.
The Knoxville quintet has made an annual record, considering that the team has been together, and that one veteran was retained to the varsity this year. Sanford and Johnson who have played stellar games for Knoxville all season are Freshmen who gained some experience in the Cincinnati, Y. M. C. They will both make strong bids for all-conference teams. With only one senior, Captain Carl Williams, on this year's team, they are very bright for a successful season.
While the Knoxville five has several more games scheduled before the close of the season, the last home game will be played with Bluefield on February 21 unless the schedule is changed

Picture At The Douglass
Lan Chance donned his first late stole moustache in eleven years when he played the stage magician in "West of Zanzibar," his new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer thriller coming to Douglass Theatre Chaney plays "Dead LEG Flint," the African "white-voodoo" in the picture. The early scenes show him in his youth as a stage magician.
The later scenes show him working his stage magics in the wilds of the Belgian Congo in Africa and using it to subdue the natives, the savage死 workhoppers, and bring them under his sway. Lonel Barrymore, Mary Nolan, Warner Baxter and others of note appear.
The picture is a grim tragedy to resurge and love Chaney goes to Africa in search of the man who stole his wife's affections and who killed her deeply galleyed from the wrist down. He finds his enemy and causes his death to the city, equally him.

LINCOLN PASSES INTO HANDS OF LAFAYETTE MEN Schiffman and Brecher Take Over Theatre; Mrs. Downs Retires
After operating the Lincoln Theatre at 58 West 135th street for twenty years, Mrs Mary Downs has sold her lease and will retire from the theatrical business after February 18, according to an announcement from that theatre this week.
The new leases are Frank Schiffman, in association with Leo Brecher, who now owns the Lafayette Theatre, and also owns the Roosevelt and Douglass Theatres in Harlem, although the latter two are not under Mr. Schiffman's management.
Mr. Schiffman stated to a representative of The Age that the present policy of the Lincoln would be continued although sound pictures would probably be installed in a few weeks. The present staff must be their position, but he would act in a supervisory capacity at the Lincoln in the future, Mr. Schiffman concluded.
Lincoln Ja Well Known
The Lincoln Theatre is one of the best known theatres catering to colored people in the city and many of the most famous colored performers have appeared here. The policy has always been a combination of a feature picture and a revue, with occasional variations to the style. Frank Schiffman, the new lessee, has been associated with some of the most successful theatrical ventures among colored people in recent years. He took over management of the Lafayette Theatre about three years ago and has made that theatre the most popular and successful financially of any in the city catering to colored patrons. Mees Schiffman and Brecher also operate the Plaza Theatre at Madison avenue and 59th street, the Boston Road Theatre in the Bronx and several smaller houses in various parts of the city.
No Envy Among Cast Of "Blackbirds Of 1928"
It is distinctly to the point of the colored stars, accenting in Lew Leshe's "Blackbirds" scene at the Elling Theatre, that they not only do not envy the measure of other's popular reception but rejoice at it and actually participate backstage in the applause.
They correctly figure that there is enough glory to go around, but they are especially alive to the fact that the spirit of hearty teamwork is one of the chief reasons for the perennial popularity of the issue. Their attitude is not of negative self-selving but one of positive cultivation or originality, prompted by their natural talent for making merry and obeying lively impulses. The 'Blackbirds' stars are too full of pop to be constrained with jealousy. It there were ten principals at the head of the revue instead of live, the chances are the show would go on just as smoothly for 'the more, the merrier is the rule that particularly appeals to the cohorted entertainers in their own business of new ideas to show. Mutual encouragement is their very watchword, and so the general impression, borne across the footlights, is that they get along beautifully.
If Bill Robinson sees a piece in the paper about the show, he makes a point of calling the others' attention to it. Aida Ward and Adelaine Hall are constantly comparing notes and speculating on the way they are getting across as evidenced by the volume of press motives, fan mail and gifts that find their way to their dressing rooms. Johnny Hudgins and Tim Moore are frequently engaged in conference, during their rest periods, as to the calibre of the science apperception. The general way the performance is getting across. Compliment, from one star to another who has just come off to the echo of reounding applause are unvariable.
This friendly policy is contagious and does much for the show, carrying the object lesson of the start attitude over to the other outstanding performers and to all the members of the revue. Thus on the *Tour Bad Men From Harlem* member the ailence is always treated to the delight* with unease* there of the four dancers putting the action to do his best, and thus it is that the one legged dance *Fey Blades* is unwarranted as he has his part the distinction of being permitted to take a separate bow to the crescendo of applause which always reaches its zenith when he follows the other two in doing his stuff. Competition may be the trade of skill but cooperation is the

THE NEW YORK AGE
Returning March 1st
A note to the editor of The Age brings the information that Noble Sissie who has had a sensational success in the theatrical engagements in England, plans returning to New York about March 1, for the purpose of organizing what he terms "the greatest Negro entertaining band," along the lines formerly instituted by the theatrical company Hopper. Mr. Sissie was closely associated with Mr. Europe during his lifetime, and he pledges promoting a memorial meeting for May 10, the anniversary of Europe's untimely death, with the idea of raising a fund for the erection of a monument.
Friends of the amusement and military worlds will probably arrange a home-coming demonstration for Sissie on his arrival from New York to care American Express, London but his letter comes to Editor Moore from Edinburgh, Scotland, where he was on tour.
Morgan College Players Here On Friday Night
Friday at midnight the Morgan College Dramatic Club presents its program of three one-act plays at the Alhambra Theatre for the benefit of the college fund for the building of dormitories. All the plays are by prize-winning Negro writers. The cast is selected from the most capable of Prof Edmund's players, and quite an unusual treat is expected. Reserved seats are on sale at popular prices and the performance promises to be a notable one
"Monster or Man?" Underworld Drama, At Alhambra Next Week
*Monster or Man?* A sensational drama of the underworld of Paris will be presented next week by the Alhambra Drama Playaer. Andre Dubois is sentenced to Devil's Island, the terrible penal colony of France. He escapes and hides in the network of huge sewers that underlie the gayest of world capitals. With infinite cunning and patricia he creates a monster shaped like a man through whom he expects to avenge himself. But, in the end, the creature turns' on him and destroys him, in a scene of tremendous power.
*Magic Melody* will be the combined effort of the Alhambra Comedians and girls, and the Night-Hawks land will join in the festivities on the stage.
*Childred Harris* the former Mrs. Charlie Chapin, will be the star of the picture feature, "Hearts of Men."

Midnight Steppers Head Fine Revue At The Lafayette This Week
One of the finest musical comedy

of all screen dramas share honors
on the wonderful program which
opened a week's engagement at the

revue is "Chee Chee" the picture
"Revenge" starring Dolores D'Lu
No.
We are conservative when we say that no rejuvene in years boasted of so much talent as Chee Chee. The famous Midnight Steppers who stepped into instant popularity at their first appearance in New York at the recent Pullman Porters, Benefit Performance, Boots Marshals and a stage assignment on the Keith Circuit have prevented from appearing in Harlem for four years, Jackie Mables the greatest of female comedians and other celebrities are but part of a cast of some forty-old entertainers of unexcelled ability and popularity Roscoe Monella, Mary Dixon, Willie Jackson, Paul Sullivan, Mercia Marquez, Octavia Sumler, the Chee Chee Night Club Band and Chorus other entertainers are part of this great revue and certainly the finest stage entertainment to which Haslem has been treated in months.
The photoplay feature also takes its place with the splendid pictures being presented weekly at the Lafayette Theatre. It is a mighty romantic drama of Gypsy Life, "Revenge" and has as its star Doree Del Rio. This gifted screen star has rapidly forged to the front rack of screen stars. Since her appearance in What Price Glory" she has starred in "Ramona," "The Red Dance" and "Resurrection," "Revenge," which is being presented at the Lafayette this week is greater than any of these in the opinion of the critics.

From the opening date last Saturday, continuing each day and night, crowds have stormed the Renaissance Theatre to see the one picture, which, if you saw no other during the year, should be seen.

The first, and the last enance to see this thrilling, gripping screen presentation at a popular price in this section of the city, come to the Renaissance any day or evening this week and see "Wings," a Paramount picture acclaimed the world's greatest spectacle.

St. Philip's Campers Hold First Reunion
Neville camper gathered together in the church school auditorium of St Philip's Church Monday night for the first annual "Camp Reunion" of Guilliford Bower, the parish camp. The children began to get together about seven o'clock and from that time until eight, when they sat down to their banquet, and girls who had not seen each other since the day camp "broke" last September were there. The retreat and the popular ones, the younger and the older, seemed to enter spontaneously into the democratic atmosphere of the camp. The counsellors were there also for their need of "Hello, there" and "Glad to see you again." The tables were set in the shape of a diamond, with everything carried out in the scheme of "Gold and brace" the camp's colors. Beautiful golden colored tulips were sent in by the Lenox Department.
The songs and cheers composed by campers and counsellors were soon resounding through the hall—the boys at one end, gathered around their leader, J Solace Glenn, and the girls at the other end with their heroine, Thelma Whitaker, at the head of their table. Myrtle Whithington who received the highest rating for her lamp work, led cheers and songs. There was a short program rendered by talented campers and great artists

Several impromptu speeches by campers first, and then counsellors, and then Father Bishop distributed the certificates of charter membership to the first campers of Guilford Bower, and emblems indicating the length of stay—three, six or nine weeks at camp. Each camper received a certificate with his rating and camp emblem for his length of stay.
The director of the camp said that places at camp would be in great demand and that last year's emblem would be given first choice for this summer but that application would have to come in soon. The 1929 camp season was inaugurated the night of the Reunion and it looks as though it would be even better than 1928. The old Guilford Bower spirit was still there—and strong!

How many times have I heard the angry wall and plant from persons who desire to ding that the American whites love to hear the Negro "spirituals" because they suggest the colored man's past enslavement; but the Negroists sing the "Classic" and get here in Florida the southernmost part of the United state, where Negro talent is not supposed to be recognized by any white persons, I saw in a great auditorium, built for Negro aesthetics by white Florida, and heard a Negro whose mother had been a slave ring the most famous in the United State, from a printed program which contained twelve numbers of classics from the great masters or all times, and but tour of his own beloved "Spirituals" and I saw that audience, the whites as well as the colored people, insist that the black man sing encore numbers of the songs which the white man uses in the plantation, calm and field. Fighting first in his own arm, developing that which is the Negro's very own, he has learned to fight with the "sword" and armor of "Naul," and the world is pleased to have him do so.
Hayes—Ambassador of Good Will.
We are wont to lose much breath in discussing race leadership and in militant qualities needed thereafter. We are wont to lose much high above conventional leadership of one particular group into the position where he may well be called an ambassador of good will. None of those who sat rapt and silent in one chapel could entertain thoughts of possible assassination. Hayes disused his brittleness in the alchemy of soul-entrancing song. We forget almost everything save music. Hayes brought the two races together to sit under the spell of his voice while he carried both of them close to the door of goodwill in the statemanship, and he must, from hence forth take rank in that field Conserving Our Great Spirits
It Roland Hayes is representing us well in the world at large, he is one of our great assets. I watched him on an off the stage, and was struck again with the frailty of his body, and I told myself that he needs the conserving care which a race full of appreciation for what he has done and is doing, can give. We who do not have great gifts like his can stand on the side lanes and cheer, and we can make him a champion, and that is what he for a long time. We do destroy our prophets, all too few in number, we shall not deserve to be led into paths of beauty and peace. Here's hoping that he may have long life to plead the cause of joy and happiness and goodwill through his matchless song.
the internationally renowned tenor, Roland Hays, gave his second concert in Atlanta on the evening of February 1, in the City Auditorium. Four years ago he made his initial appearance in this city, since he became a world character. The white section of his audition was not quite as large and the orchestra had only 4,000 people of both race who heard him, approximately 1,500 were members of the white group. The Negro section of the auditorium was probably larger than it was four years ago. Practically every seat in the left half of the auditorium, from the orchestra seats to the roof, was filled. As one observed the compelling control and fascinating ease with which he performed, irresistible and produced applause which is completely motivated the behavior of his listeners, he realized that the hy-products of this event were in some respects more significant than the music itself.
First, the twelve or fifteen hundred Negro students who heard how it a new appreciation of the capabilities and possibilities of their own culture saw the fact that the appliance usually started and ended in the white section occupied by the young white students, it gave much hope for a more tolerant attitude and a higher appreciation for personality, regardless of the skin in which it is clothed, by the oncoming generation of the white population. The white people who heard Hayes will be compelled to remove the boundary line of interest from the attainment from their imagination. Third, the twenty-five hundred Negroes who made up a part of the audience of four thousand were well dressed and made the same response to the Matter Musician's conditions that the other section of the audience made, showing the same musical appreciation and the same reaction. In this way they their own contribution to the terracial good will and understanding.
In these three definite and fundamental directions, the contribution made by Roland Haves was to define the concept of the

I came to Florida to get just one great concert in the State, because President J. R. E. Lee, keenly aware of the opportunity to treat a great service to the State and a human resource to the State, came early to fund to pay for the appearance of the star so that colored students the college might see and be the hero of song and be the art and success.

But he did that one can record, he gives enthusiasm for the conjunction of the text with the record which describes.

Over five hundred, the most representative of the capital city, the Alabaster, also has there. There, Florida is assuming a new responsibility, entering upon a building program for this school heretofore unknown in the history of this State and which is to cost a sum running to the millions. Yonder was the team of the manhood, womanhood, culture and prosperity of the colored people of Florida. All these groups and assembled together voluntarily to the purpose of being lifted from the distractions of daily life up to that level of education. These groups were all taken to the naked eye.

there the real spirit of beauty in song. Rising up from the masters of these, he put them into his "bag" - repertoire; and because he had become "David," fighting in his own armor, and not in the shield, helmet, sword and breast plate of "soul," he was able to slay the giant who had barred the treason to recognition and utter the term "soul song" with the gift of song which is the inheritance of his race, and with the sense of sweetness and beauty which the songs of his own people provide, he was able to interpret the songs of all the other advanced peoples better, as the critics say, than many all artists are able to do in their own language. Because he had the courage to go back to one of the Negroes own natural gifts and see how he could make his own songs, he could make to our world at large, that the world is willing to listen to him when he presents the song contributions made by other races.

Justin Sandridge, Boston Pianist, To Play In N. Y.
Justin Saudridge, a young Boston pianist, will make his New York debut in formal recital, playing a program of music for the pianoforte, on Friday evening, March 1, in the auditorium of the West 11th street Y, W. C. A. under auspices of the John Brown Memorial Association, the Rev Win Floyd limes, president and the music department of the Y, W. C. A.
Mr Saudridge has been given high praise by Boston critics, and in 1926 he appeared as piano soloist with the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. This was characterized as his "formal public debut," and the Boston Post said that few pianists show the "remarkable mastery of their instrument and the genuine musical feeling which distinguished Mr. Saudridge's playing."
He won a soldier favor on a southern concert tour.

Judge Jerome and Committee Offers Board of Estimate New Plan For Centralization of Magistrate Courts
Suggests One Building, Centrally Located, As Home For Fourteen Courts Now Scattered In Nine Buildings As Economy Measure Judge William Travers Jerome, a former District Attorney, has presented a new plan for centralization of Magistrate Courts in New York City to the Board of Estimate. He is head of a committee appointed by Mayor James J. Walker and has been working on the proposition for more than three months.
The Mayor, Magistrate Joseph E. Corrigan, and many prominent members of the Bat have endorsed the plan submitted by Judge Jerome and his associates. The plan proposes the concentration of all Magistrate Courts in one building, centrally located, when would function through as many parts as necessary, housing, in addition to the Magistrate Courts, a central detention prison, a central bureau of identification, a central probation bureau, a bail bureau, a central stenographic service and offices for the Chief Magistrate
Advantages of Plan
Advantages of the new plan are pointed out, follows.
"(1) Closer supervision could be exercised over associates or subordinates by the Chief Magistrates of the courts the District Attorney and the commissioners of police and correction.
"(2) Economics in time and money would be effected
(a) For the District Attorney
(b) For the police.
(e) For the Department of Correction
(f) For complaints, witnesses and defendants
(g) In the elimination of rentals
(h) In a reduction of upkeep costs
(i) The Central Court would eliminate the present monopoly of court business by certain groups of lawyers, bondmen and runners
Supervision of Bail Cases
"14) Interpreters would be available without delay
"15) The granting, of bail and the supervision of bail cases would be facilitated
"16) A central system or criminal identification would be established
"17) Proper distribution of cases would lessen the present congestion (Some courts are congested while others are idle)
"18) A central detention person would be held
"19) A central court could be erected largely from the proceeds of the sale of the city owned property who occupied as court buildings and detention centres
End Lawyers' Monopoly
The brief points out that soon a centralization would eliminate the monopoly enjoyed by a small group of lawyers, with their bondmen and rumors, because of friendly relations established with the per-

with the police of a particular district. Much is made on the importance of saving time, not only for the courts, in order to get more business accomplished, but of the police, complainants and witnesses, interpreters, would be available when wanted and bail identification would be facilitated.

Traffic Lights Now Being Installed On Madison, Fifth and Lenox Aves. And Work Will Start Soon On 7th Ave
Alderman Fred R. Moore Has Been Working For This Improvement Since Taking Office; Commissioners Goldman, Hoyt Have Aided
Traffic lights on Madison, Fifth and Lenox avenues will be in operation within a few weeks, according to information received by Alderman Fred R. Moore from First Deputy Police Commissioner Philip D. Hoyt.
The work on Madison and Fifth avenues has been delayed somewhat because of structural difficulties, necessitating the changing of underground pipe lines but this has been taken care of
A Jim Crow Situation In Haiti
(Continued from Part 4)
Difficult Proposition.
Late further announcement is made that plans for the Seventh avenue lights are well under way. The topographical difficulties have made it necessary, for a different installation than is used on other thoroughfares. Tige park spaces in this avenue will be retained, as will be most of the trees. Some of the trees will have to be removed, but others will be pround so as to afford a clear view from all angles. It is estimated that the installation on Seventh avenue will be complete by June 1. Delays in installing the lights on Harlem streets are attributed by the officials, to conditions which have been unavoidable, but all of these have been overcome and it will be but a little while before the system is in working order.
Aided By Officials.
The effort to secure traffic lights in Harlem was begun by Alderman Moore shortly after he had taken his seat on the Board of Aldermen, and in this matter he has hailed earnest and hearty cooperation of Commissioner Hoyt and of Albert Goldman, Commissioner of Plants and Structures.
Another pending improvement for Harlem is the erection of a new and modern building in which to house the West 15th street police station. Plans for a new and more commodious structure are now being made, the building to occupy the same site as the present station, and it will contain all the improvements on modern building development.
High School Is Named For Late J. B. Dudley
greenbush, N.C. — the memory of the late James B Dudley, prominent Negro educator of North Carolina, the father of the dead two of three years ago, devoted of the A. and T. College of this city, was perpetuated when the Board of Education of the Greater Greenbush School district voted unanimously to give to the hardcore new $300,000 Negro high school the name of this distinguished member of his race. It was after C W Phillips, acting superintendent of schools, announced to the board in its regulation that the new structure would be ready for occupancy on Monday, February 11, that the board made its unanimous choice of the name.

A Jim Crow Situation In Haiti

brothers in the bush but he was evidently in the position of a man beating his wife. Often the mistreated wife shares her husband's views on the subject, and in this case the Haitian peasant bears out the analogy. The bush Haitian than does the French than does the French in his history. He is less the slave. He is not herded into political armies. The little money he receives for his bag of rice and load of sugar-cane is not going to drop to one fifth its value before he spends it, which was usual in the days of Haitian control of the treasury is free from taxes received from imported articles, as everything he uses is raised on the island. What of he does receive an occasional well-named American boot on the seat of his ragged trousers? His black master's lashings are still remembered. Now, all of these reasons should make him appreciative of changed conditions, not the peasantry of Haiti hates the Americans as much as the aristocracy does; but, as the peasant is inarticulate, his only means of expression is a grim unceasingly sullen air. There is nothing to fear in his attitude toward the whites. He regards them as his enemies. He regards the aristocracy itself, the while he works as yard-boy or cook at double the wages he would get from members of his own race.
It is the American who is afraid of the Haitian Having been under the thumbs of Baptist and Methodist witch doctors in the 19th century, his life, the marine's care are nicely attuned to ghost stories. Voodooism is his dish. The fantastic tales of sorries forever discussed by his companions keep him in a perpetual state of nervous terror. He is too unimprobable, and sometimes he adopts the fund of data himself.
On the Champ de Mars by the President's palace is a bronze statue of Dessalines the liberator. In his upraised arm he holds a sword pointing to the sea and when this sword drips it is a signal for the blacks to massacre the whites and the French. Once more, one night the neighborhood was awakened by a succession of shirts. The palace, aroused from its fateful days, remembered the old days when it was under almost constant repair from the frequent bombings of the Outs opened its doors in alarm, the French with much in front guard. They discovered tranquilly empty his revolver at the awesome statue. His explanation was simple. He had been walking peacefully by when Dessaline stepped off his pedestal and pricked him sharply in the rear with the sword. The shooting he had done was merely for self-protection, and when he was placed in servation ward he was declared sane. Voodoo had another victory to its credit.
In the principal cemetery of Port au Prince is a large wooden cross with its base scared from thousands of candles burned on it by greeted relatives. A heutenant's wife, anignant of 'catholic hires' as she was eager for verification of Voodoo, asked me what had been burned there. It would have been shameful to dissillusion her so I whispered "babies." A priest entered the cemetery at this time and she rushed to him for further details. She wanted to know how often they burned babies there and when would the next ceremony be undertaken by the priest could not understand her Carolina English and she did not know a word of French, even though they lived in Haiti for over a year. She interpreted the priest's lack English as an admission of guilt and lost no time spreading the news over the American colony.
The same lady was kind enough to give me a lift when she saw me one day on the street waiting for a cab. There are no sidewalk in Port an Prince and the nrow street are crowded with barefoot pedestrians. Whenever the crowd became particularly dense my tempiary hostess stepped on the gates the hour I升hed delicately

at the crowd hurrying to seize and bowled over a market woman with her heavily filled basket. The Americans, however, have other amusements besides swiping plodding natives with their cars. The most popular sport is door and out, is drinking. As gathering, a table of bridge or a polo match, is a suitable excuse and very few seem able to estimate correctly the number Club on Saturday nights resembles a shambles, for when the average American gets drunk he longs for a fight. The American Club is well filled with drunken average Americans. The women keep up with their men in these frequent bouts. Late one Saturday night I saw a car draw up to a small villa and as I came closer recognized a marine captain lifting the limp body of his wife from the back seat. Blood was smeared all over the front of her white evening dress. When she tried my arm, it aired so hard the accident he laughed. She hadn't been run over by an automobile or stabbed; she had just outed at the club while a couple of fellows were fighting near, so she got covered with blood. She'd come to and be all right after a cold dip.
The Haitians are very moderate drinkers, and the wholesale drunkenness exhibited by the Americans disguises them. They often themselves the special inferiors of people capable of such swinishment.
Big Growth In
Written Word
By Telephone
With the growing use of the telephone typewriter in all departments of commerce and industry comes the introduction of a new type of communication which promises to develop as the telephone system transmitting the human voice developed. For certain commercial purposes the telephone typewriter provides a more complete communication in that it can be checked from a computer and provides complete and accurate record of the message sent.
The telephone typewriter thus combines the accuracy and authenticity of the printed word with the speed of the telephone. It is simply an electrical mechanism into which is built the keyboard, carriage and certain other foundational aspects of the typewriter. This machine is then connected with another by means of a telephone circuit; the first machine controls the second so that any message written on the first machine is reproduced on the second. Telephone typewriters are made in two styles, one of which types on sheets of paper 8-2 inches wide, and of any other type on paper 8-2 inches continuous roll 8-1/2 inches wide. The other types on narrow paper tape. One of the most important installations of this device involving 110 machines has recently been placed in service for the Police Department of New York City. This particular telephone typewriter service is believed by telephone enlisted to be the largest and most complete system of its kind in the world.
The telephone equipment at general police headquarters is the nerve center of the communication system of the police department in the five boroughs of Greater New York. Seven machines at General Headquarters are the center of a total of 110 machines in the different precincts of the Greater city.
To go into other fields, a power company has an installation of twelve sending and receiving tape-type machines, and uses them to transmit information between the main office and eight city branches, some of which are located as far as six or seven miles away. A large coal company uses the telephone typewriter system to transcribe for coal, which have been received at headquarters, to the nearest distribution center for delivery. By means of the telephone typewriter these orders are sent speedily and accurately.
In the stock market one large brokerage firm uses four of these machines to transmit quotations, buy and sell orders, etc., between the main office and branch offices located elsewhere. Another stock brokerage concern uses four machines interconnected by 287 miles of wire to quote stock market prices and to transmit orders from New York City headquarters to a branch office outside New York. In the newspaper business press association services have long been heavy users of telephone typewriters, big groups of machines being linked by thousands of miles of wire between the big centers and papers they serve in outlying territories.
There is no limit to the utility of the telephone typewriter, and while at the present time the telephone typewriter system is used as a separate unit, complete in itself from the regular telephone unit, it is not beyond the range of possibility that with the increased use of this form of intercommunication of the written word, the written message may eventually be transmitted from one telephone any part of the country through the use of the regular telephone line and central office equipment.

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLI
THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES
BY JAMES H. HOGANS
PROHIBITION ON PULLMAN CARS
(AS REPORTED TO THIS REPORTER)
Although there is a round half million dollars lying in the graft-covered bucket that hangs over the old prohibition well for the enforcement of respect for the Volstead Law, the Pullman Company has hit upon a novel and inexpensive method of obtaining regard for this universally disrespected statute. The method is so simple that it almost borders on the ludicrous, when one thinks of the many strong-fisted systems and the heavy bulk of coin that have been engaged and expended in an effort to obtain a semblance of respect for the idea of the minnesoti solon and consuming fetch of Southern legislators. Yet, in spite of its simplicity, the method is likely to be more effective among a certain class of violators of this law than all the other forms of legislation to date.
This method is nothing more than a courteous request to patrons of the Pullman service to observe the law while on its cars. In fact, the request is couched in such polite language that—if you are a prohibitionist—you will seriously doubt its probable effectiveness. But against this doubt is the knowledge of those who can partly analyze the actions of persons who have no regard for the Prohibition Law itself, but who respect the opinion of their peers. The average buiness man who drinks cares nothing whatever about the ethics involved in his violation of the Prohibition Statute, but he will hardly disrespect the attitude that is taken by those with whom he is thrown into contact.
Knowing this phase of human psychology, the Pullman management has placed upon the refreshment cards of all Pullman luncheon and club cars the following notice:
"In order to avoid embarrassing situations the Management requests the co-operation of passengers in a strict observance of the Prohibition Law and requests that passengers kindly refrain from the use of intoxicating liquors as beverages while upon trains."
Such a mild and polite entreaty for prohibition would hardly be an operative deterrent for the intemperates of Second avenue, or Lenox avenue, but for the traveling intemperates, and, from the, porters stories, these are many, there is hope for a lessening of the flouting of the Volstead Enactment on Pullman cars, anyway.
But although this is merely a request to the Pullman patron, to the Pullman employee it is a service ukase. In metaphoric language, the Pullman Company has padlocked the doors of its buffet cars against the serving of gingerale, White Rock, Apollinaris, and other drinks to the patron who persists in breaking the law himself, and then involving the employee, who serves him, as an aider and abettor.
Behind this notice are strict orders to the car service employees regarding the observance of the dry law, for prohibition has been everything but flowery, so it is said, to the Pullman management.
In the first instance, service is the main commodity for sale on a Pullman car. Anything which tends to interfere with the furnishing of this commodity detracts from the reputation of the furnisher. Hence, to make arbitrary rules as to what the patron may have and what he may not have, and when he may be served and when not, bring up a situation in which rules are first and service is secondary, yet this is exactly what the Pullman management is up against. It has to obey the law, which all reputable corporations desire to do, but its revenue depends on service. So, in making the request quoted above, the Pullman management is assuming a dual role: it is trying to demonstrate its respect for the law, and at the same time it is suggesting to its patrons that they do likewise.
But if this were all to the Pullman management's troubles on the prohibition subject, Pullman superintendents wouldn't grow gray overnight, nor would their assistants damn prohibition and all its advocates to the innermost circles of the Inferno. The cupidity of Pullman conductors and Pullman porters, who run into those territories in which liquor may be legally bought, has added two-fold to these troubles. In fact, prohibition has been instrumental in causing the Pullman service to lose some of its best porters.
On the other hand, some of the most despicable traits in the category of human faults have been revealed by porters since prohibition. There is one case on record in the Plan of Employee Representation in which a porter legislated himself out of the service merely because he was trying to enrich himself at the expense of this law.
The porter was an inconsistent employee at best, but he had managed to stay in the employ of the company for fifteen or more years, more, of course, through sufferance than through merit. On this particular trip he was the porter to a passenger who, innocently, confided to him that he had several bottles of "good liquor" which he was taking home. The traveller was a business man in a city to which luggage inspection is necessary before the owner is allowed to detrain. This porter knew this, having run for many years to that city, so when approaching the passenger's destination, he informed him that as he was transporting liquor, which was a flagrant violation of law, he (the passenger) would find it profitable as well as expedient to make his perquisite a stipulated fee instead of a conditional tip.
To make a long story short, the bribed passenger resented such service, especially after he had generously tipped this porter, and in addition to that had given him a drink of the forbidden beverage when he entrained on his car. The record of this case will show that this porter was voted against by every member on the plan of Employee Representation (one of whom is now a field agent of the Brotherhood in Sleeping Car Porters) to sustain the management in his discharge.
Here is a case which is even more contemptible than the foregoing case, for it is an incident in which a porter was an innocent victim of a brother porter's sin: Both porters ran to Canada. One of them had always borne the reputation with the border inspectors of being a law abiding employee. The other porter knew this and gambling on this knowledge he secreted in the locker of his fellow-worker's car a supply of whiskey that he hoped would be overloked by these inspectors in their inspection of the train. Unfortunately for the law abiding porter the inspectors were tipped off that smuggled liquor was on his car. The result was, this porter was charged with transporting whiskey.
Pullman officials in his district were inclined to believe the story that he didn't know anything about how the stuff happened to be in his car, but the evidence was against him. At this writing it is not known how the innocent porter came out, but it is fair to assume that he bore the blunt of the penalty for the incident.
Whether a polite request, such as it has issued, will be effective
in the direction, remains to be seen.

McCracken represents the type of Negro that is a conspicuous asset to the service personnel of the Pullman service. His speedy recovery is the hope of every official and worker in the Grand Central district.

WEEKLY NOTES FROM INDIA
By The Age Special Correspondent
I seems to be an essential part of the political creed of a certain section of British imperialists that Indians are to be treated as outliers in all parts of British Empire. They must be lounded off as "undesirable aliens," from not only British Dominions, but also from countries forming integral parts of the Indian Empire. Ever since the annexation of India and her incorporation with India for administrative and political purposes, Indians have migrated to Burma, where they are engaged in trade and commerce, as well as in professions of law and medicine.
Indians are also engaged in the services under the Government. For all practical purposes they are treated as children of the soil, enjoying the municipal franchise, voting for elections to the legislatures, and enjoying all other civic rights. Laborers from India too migrate to Burma. Burmese citizens are in demand in sowing and harvesting crops. A certain percentage of the coastal trade in Burma is also carried on by the Indian shipping. The presence of Indians has always been a source of strength to the growing forces of Burmese nationalism. Evidently all these can be viewed with complicacy by those who would monopolise the exploitation of the rich nature of Burma by the Burmese trade and commerce. A cry for separation of Burma from India was raised by the Anglo-Indian press which exists for watching the interests of the whites in India. The cry became louder and louder till at last even a responsible officer of the Government, Mr. Nolan, a former public officer of the Government of Burma, threw away all considerations of leisure and declared the superiority of the country to be shared only by "the enterprising British Community," with a few crumbs thrown to the "outcourt Burmese men and women."

National Activities and Governments Repression
The Government of India, after reading of the events of the annual week in December, 1928, have now thought of crushing every sort of nationalist activities by repression and lawlessness. In view of the split in the Congress on the resolution of Independence, the subsequent success of Mahatma Gandhi in giving the Government an ultimatum of one year in the open Congress that the Devolution status is not granted and that the movement of no-tax and non-cooperation in all respects with the Government, the opposition of Dr. Besant and a few of the liberals who could not keep pace with the rising tide of nationalism, the betrayal of a few Moslems and the result of the youth of the country against the old-school leaders and compromisers, it is reliably given to understand that the Government contemplates taking repressive measures and declare unlawful all activities in furtherance of or in relating to independence and follow it with妥 and imprisonments of leaders of labor suspected of Communist bias, and also leaders of the -Youth Leagues, Students' Brotherhood, and of the Independence League of India.
Meanwhile the confirmation is available of reports current earlier that the Government proposes to reintroduce the Public Safety Bill in Delhi, and the Government is working Delhi, which is a measure against objectionable non-Indians who are believed by the Government of India to be working for the overthrow of their Empire established by law and as a measure against those Indians who are working for the overthrow of the existing order of society.

THE BOMB
A city built for Service
WITHIN this state is a city built for service. Service—to all of the people in the great state of which it is a part.
This city of 506 buildings houses hundreds of central offices, business offices, testing bureaus and other essential units in New York State's great telephone system.
To operate, maintain and enlarge this system, 58,000 workers are necessary.
This city must keep on growing. To provide swift, reliable service will be an even greater problem in the future than at present. So much so that in this state, an expenditure of more than $38,000,000 for land, buildings and central office equipment will be required during 1929, and more than $190,000,000 within the next five years.

Activities At The Utopia Child's House
With the registration of over two hundred boys, the problem of building up adequate activities is being met by the organizing of more clubs for the younger boys. The Utopia Children's House differs from many other organizations in that the work is primarily with younger children. The athletic program is carried out at the 134th street gymnasium, which the Utopia boys use on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday afternoons. The seasonable sport of basketball is now in full swing with four well-organized basketball teams played outside games. A Hockey League tournament for the 90-lb class is now in full swing. Fourteen outside games have been played since the House opened in November.
Track practice has started, and is held every Wednesday afternoon. We are getting in shape for a meet on March 22. Three junior and senior relays are being organized. Boxing classes are being formed and promising pupils will be entered in the Boys Athletic League boxing tournament. Basketball meetings have started with James Parker as captain. Enthusiasm is high; and all indications point toward a first class junior team. Practice will start in April. While all boys are interested in athletics, there are many other character building groups who are caring out active programs; among them are the Boy Scouts; Cub Scouts; Utopia Billikens; Boys' Theatrical Club and Current Events Club. The boys department is open daily from 3 to 5 and from 7 to 9. Arthur L. Jackson is director of this department.
Athletics (Girls)
Don't be afraid of the cold weather and stop swimming at the "W" on Mondays. That's a good way to get warm, for the "W" pool is the warmest spot in town. Slowly but surely the junior Flashettes are becoming basketball experts. Tuesday afternoons at the gym from 5 to 9 see many enthusiasts working to help them succeed. Do the senior Flashettes play a preliminary game soon? Well, from the way the practices are going—it won't be long now

Monarch Apartments
All Rented By Feb. 1
The fifty-eight apartments in the first section of the Monarch Elks Apartments and Temple, which when completed will cost nearly one million dollars, were all rented by February 1, according to a statement given out last week. The section was completed about January 20, and most of the tenants were able to move in by the first of the month.
The new building has been named Holstein Court in honor of Casper Holstein, head of the building committee, and th present exalted ruler of Monarch Lodge of Elks. Mr Holstein is the moving spirit in the new building program. He secured the site for the temple and apartments by buying in the former Liberty Hall, headquarters of Marcus Garvey's organization. This plot occupies about 200 feet on West 138th street and is 100 feet deep. It is being improved with apartments on each side and a home and temple for Monarch Lodge, No. 45, I. B. P. O. E. of W. in the apartments are in suites of 1, 2, 3, and 4 rooms, and are in many respects the most modern in Harlem. The rooms are exceptionally large and well planned and have many innovations in their appointments and fixtures. Liveried attendants are employed and all night elevator service is maintained.
The other section of the apartment will be started in the spring

This is the third annual exhibition of works in the plastic and gobble gobble arts executed by American physicians.

The Charlestonians Hold Lincoln-Douglass Banquet and Smoker
The "Charlestonians" a celebrated club of distinguished sons of Charleston, S. C., held their fifth annual Lincoln-Douglass banquet and smoker in the St. Luke's Dining Hall, Tuesday, February 12. The principal speakers were Hon. Fred R. Moore and Hon. John Clifford Hawkins, both speakers included in their remarks the urgent necessity of cooperation within the group. Mr. Moore reviewed the history and great character of the colored man of the South, with the realization to Douglass, Crum and "Bob" Smalls, the last of whom became a Congressman from South Carolina. Mr. Moore stated that if the Negro voters got together in a solid phalanx, under the control of honest Negro leadership they could have what they wanted under the City Government, such as a Deputy in every City Department.
Student Was Run-Down
"I THINK Cardui is the best builder on the market—I can say this for it was a help to me," writes Miss Margaret-Burris, 802 E. Vine Ave., Knoxville, Tennessee.
"During the last year in high school I fled year in and run down. Several of my friends told me about Cardui and suggested that I try it. When I want to college I weighed 95 pounds, so I decided to try Cardui, and when the school year was up, I weighed 130 pounds.
"I would advise any person who is nervous, weak and in a run-down condition to take Cardui if am sure it will do them good."
"After taking the Cardui, I am not nervous any more, and I am in the best of health."
