Is Charged By Druggist With Using Unethical Methods In Advertising Its Goods According to information furnished The New York Age by one of its readers, who is also operating a large drug store in Jersey City, one of the companies manufacturing preparations for improving the hair and skin of Negro patrons is not only trying to build up its business by a catering to supposed superstitious inclinations within the race, but is also appealing to the white drug trade by dubbing prospective Negro customers as "darkies." "Harlem," the new play about Negro life in New York City, which opened at the Apollo Theatre, 42nd street West of Broadway, on Wednesday evening. February 20, is not for Negro theatre-goers, said the press representative, C. A. Leonard, to a representative of The Age. No advance publicity was sent any of the Negro papers, nor were any sent tickets for the opening. The Age has been informed.

Offers "Good Luck" Bag. The Age informant states that recent advertising matter sent out to druggists by this company, and, supposedly, intended to be sent only to white dealers, offers a "good luck" bag which, according to their claim, is "not sold at any price. A thousand dollars would not buy one, but you can have one free." The bag is described as being "an Algerian Majo Bag, containing certain rare ingredients, including snake root, lucky stones and other things supposed to bring good luck to the wearer." And in a circular letter to druggists, the company is quoted as writing: "THE AVERAGE DARKY WILL BE VERY GLAD INDEED TO GET ONE OF THESE DYED-IN-THE-RED LUCKY BAGS." And in another paragraph of the same letter occurs the expression, "We are carrying on an extensive industry in trade publications, magazines and in other mediums that the darky reads." Another circular, which says The Age's informant, was evidently intended for distribution to the Negro trade, purports to quote the late Mme Hightower as saying, "Remember, we do not want to be Dr. R.

Campbell and Director Atkins of the Agricultural Department of Tuskegee. primarily for "white consumption" and that perhaps later on some advertising would be carried in the colored press. He did not seem particularly enthusiastic to have the colored press review the play. This attitude is one of marked contrast to that adopted by Lew Leslie, producer of "Blackbird," and David Belasco, when he produced "Lute-Belle," another successful play in which a large number of colored people appeared. A large part of the success of these two shows may be directly traceable to the support given them by colored patrons. ns Co.

Mr. Johnson, and deplored the fact that the church's present capacity was insufficient to accommodate the vast crowd that came to witness the service. Speaking to the class, Bishop Shipman said: "Unassisted power lay in the hands of this the first confirmation class of St. Martin's. If those confirmed will allow God to use you, not only will beautiful Harlem be saved, but the city, the state, the country, and, yes, the world will be conquered for Christ." The Rev.

The Morning Service "Vanity" was the theme chosen Sunday morning by the vicar. The sermon was based on the text as found in the 8th verse of the 30th chapter of Proverbs: "Remove far from me, vanity." "The Jews, were destined to become a great people, to take their places" in the front rank of the nations of the world, but because of their exclusiveness and great vanity," said Rev Johnson, "they have been scattered to the four cornerstones." "Generally speaking, since life is so brief and uncertain and because man has such a limited control over his destiny, nothing human has a right to be vain. Causes of Vanity. In making the personal application, Mr Johnson asked the question "What are some of the causes of vanity. Two of the fundamental causes are religion and education. Christ illustrated how deeply He understood the working of the human mind and the feelings in the human heart in the parable of the Pharisee and the sinner. Christians, instead of being humble, are prone to thank God that they are not like other men. Also education sometimes tends to fill a person with an undue amount of pride "But if we would attain the estimable aims for which we are striving—that of getting ahead in this world as well as being true disciples of Christ then we should practice true fellowship and the spirit of fraternity, remembering that 'Pride goeth before a fall' and that 'a little learning is a dangerous thing.' Thus we will gain the goodwill of our fellows and become a real-influence for good in the community." Flowers for the altar were contributed by Miss L. Gregg in memory of her mother, by Mrs. L. Penn for her father, Mrs Ashby for her grandmother, and Mrs Burke in honor of the confirmation daughter.

All business institutions at this time of the year are seriously engaged taking stock, striking a balance, checking up on the reserve, balancing and making a budget for the incoming year. To these items the closest attention must be given, for the safety and prosperity of the business. A similar need exists in the order of Knights of Pythas of the E W H A to take stock, strike a balance, increase our reserve making a budget. Inventory—It is noted that from the various reports of lodges that not an adequate number of new members have been secured during the year. This means that the lodges is losing ground, its reserve is being impaired. It would be interesting and profitable for every lodge to take stock of itself, and if (don't misunderstand me) found that the average age of its members is over forty years of age, to immediately take steps to enlist a goodly number of youths in its membership. A man does not become more deeply interested, more earnest, more loyal and devoted to the work, more efficient through experience. "Young men for war, old men for council," is a good and true adage. Balance Sheet—Every twelve months each of your members are one year older, and unless an adequate number of new members are secured, year after year, your lodge is on the wrong side of the balance sheet and such a lodge will ultimately join the veterans reunion and be a thing of the past in the community. You cannot turn the mill with the water that has passed Reserve—We. Knights of Pythas of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, like other successful businesses, must build up a reserve Youth is the reserve, with its expectancy of years to draw from and this reserve must be replenished, year after year, that the order may live to foster the motto of F. C. B. and the brotherhood of man, which is our mission, aim and object Budget—The year of 1929 marked the 40th anniversary of the K of P. of the F W H. It is to commemorate this milestone in our history, and for other very good reasons, that the Supreme Lodge has allotted a budget of $2500 to cover the expenses of a national and international campaign to increase our membership by 2000 new members. In the liberal awards to be distributed to lodges and individual members it is my most ardent wish that you, the lodges in your state aspire to get some pault of this budget and in doing so your lodge will create a reserve that will be a credit to its officers and members and to the order. Take Stock! Strike a balance! Build up a good Reserve Balance APTS.

During the week the Paul Roberson Society staged three short plays, "Minnikin and Mannkin" was cutely costumed; "The Clock" left the audience in a daze; and "The Man Who Died at Twelve O'clock" seemed to make the best appeal, possibly because of the newly demonstrated talent of Miss Pottia Harris We hope to see further work from the director, Miss Beatrice Henderson, Rehearsals are in progress for the Wm T Dixon Circle play, "The Old Peabod" *new*, and the Community Club offering, "Mother Knows Best."

From England, but more recently of India, came Charles F. Andrew; from India, T. Nivan Jacob, a native son; from the West Coast of Africa, Asapana Johnson, educator, from China, C. Hir, Tao Lai, D. P. Chang, C. M. Hir, and F. B. Villaby, military officers now receiving training in the infantry school at Fort Benning Co Friend and associate of Rabindranath Tagore, Indan poet, and of Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the non-cooperation movement in India, is Dr. Andrew, an Anglo-Saxon, who has honoured the life and traditions of his forefathers to become identified with the oppressed of the world; an Indian among Indians, an African among Africans. For a generation he has been active in behalf of disadvantaged peoples in South Africa, in East Africa, in India and in the Fiji Islands, where he was instrumental in bringing about the abolition of indentured labor. He is vice-president of Tagore's famous school for Indian youth at Santineketan in Bengal. Appeal for Sympathy Addressing the Sociology Club of Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Andrew, Mr. Jacob and Mr. Johnson made appeals for an interchange of sympathy, understanding and love among Indians, Africans and Afriamericans "Tuskegee and Santiketan should be welded together in the same spirit, for they have spiritual qualities in common, and both should reach hands across seas to help Africa Leaders of Indian, African and Afriamerican thought should cultivate closer associations so that they may be the better able to understand one another," said Dr. Andrew. Mr Jacob young Indian row attending Columbia University, and a former student of Dr. Andrew, expressed appreciation for the services which his former teacher is rendering to India and joined him in urging closer union of the darker races. "It is not money that we seek from our brothers in America, nor wholesale migration to the motherland," declared Mr. Johnson. "Rather it is sympathy and understanding of our struggle for advancement And Africa is advancing. She has a future. She will herself and will take her rightful place among the nations of the world. We will recain all that we have lost Europe." Dr Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, assured the speakers of Tuskegee's appreciation of their problems and desire to aid in any possible way Cablegrams were sent to Tagore and Gandhi expressing this sympathy and understanding Harmon Awards Made To Two In Washington Washington, D.C.—The ceremony attendant jupon presenting the Harmon Awards to S W Rutherford and Mrs May Howard Jackson took place on Lincoln Birthday at the 19th Street Baptist Church at 8 p.m. Mr. Rutherford, who is president of the National Benefit Insurance Co. received a first award in business of $400 and a gold medal, while a bronze medal and $100 were presented Mrs Howard for her work as a sculptor.

In such case he will probably be asked to step aside and the charges affecting his right to a seat will be referred to a committee for a hearing of the evidence and recommendation as to his eligibility. Naturally, it will be felt by many of the members of the race, with which the Hon. Oscar De Priest is affiliated, that this action will be solely a matter of discrimination against race or color. There have been intimations that we former Chicago Adderman who voted to Congress last November, has himself to take the oath of office forthcoming special session, probably April, his right to take the oath is challenged. In such case he will probably be asked to step aside and argues affecting his right to a seat preferred to a committee for a head of the evidence and recommendation of his eligibility. Naturally, it will be by many of the members of the which the Hon. Oscar De Priest indicated, that this action will be so scattered at discrimination against color. We do not think it would be easy to take of the matter. Consider the circumstances involved, it was entirely too superficial. As the ends, Mr. De Priest is under indirect charge with a felony under the law. A grand jury heard enough face to make its members believe should be placed on trial. He is not entitled to the presumption ofcience until he is proved guilty. With houses of Congress have often shown a disposition to be a local in the admission of new members. This was shown in the Senate in strawberry case, and more recently in usual to accept the credentials of new Senators from Pennsylvania andinois. Only last week the commission decided to reject Congress, the Republican boss on the city Philadelphia. The grounds for exclusion such cases may not always be proved or because of the failure to represent majority of the voters of the committee, but may be ascribed to the general of moral fitness or character. He may possess all the qualifications demanded by the constitution, and have received a greater number of votes of his opponents, yet his loss does not want him as a member may be excluded. And this is because house is the sole judge of the unity of its membership. In view of the personal characteristics and the tendency to vatuperation, and times personal violence on the part of certain members from the South, serious that neither house has endured to exclude any of them on ground of personal unfitness, except their titles to their seats are based on suppression of the suffrage. That at exclusion is most frequently used against Republicans, or once a Socialist, by the combination of publicans with Democrats. So if objection is raised to admitting the oath to Representative-elect, it may not be solely on account of this color. At the same time it was well for the new Congressman the attachment against him could either brought to trial or dismissed before it required to appear at the bar of house. In the present stage of ridiculousness on the part of Congress is not unlikely that it may consider detention for felony as a bar to admission. . . . We do not think it would be a fair prew to take of the matter. Considering all the circumstances involved, it would be entirely too superficial. As the case stands, Mr De Priest is under indictment charged with a felony under the laws of Illinois. A grand jury heard enough evidence to make its members believe that he should be placed on trial. He is of course entitled to the presumption of innocence until he is proved guilty, but both houses of Congress have of late years shown a disposition to be a trifle clinical in the admission of new members This was shown in the Senate in the Newberry case, and more recently in the refusal to accept the credentials of the new Senators from Pennsylvania and Illinois. Only last week the committee again decided to reject Congressman Ware, the Republican boss of the city of Phladelphia. The grounds for exclusion in such cases may not always be political, or because of the failure to represent a majority of the voters of the community, but may be ascribed to the general ground of moral fitness or character. A man may possess all the qualifications demanded by the constitution, and may have received a greater number of votes than any of his opponents, yet in Congress does not want him as a member, he may be excluded. And this is because each house is the sole judge of the eligibility of its membership. In view of the personal characteristics and the tendency to vatuperation, and at times personal violence on the part of certain members from the South, it is curious that neither house has endeavored to exclude any of them on the ground of personal unfitness, especially as their titles to their seats are based on the suppression of the suffrage. This effort at exclusion is most frequently exercised against Republicans, or once in a while, a Socialist, by the combination of Republicans with Democrats So if objection is raised to administering the oath to Representative-elect De Priest, it may not be solely on account of his color. At the same time it would be well for the new Congressman if the indictment against him could either be brought to trial or dismissed before he is required to appear at the bar of the House. In the present stage of over fastidiousness on the part of Congress, it is not unlikely that it may consider an indictment for felony as a bar to admission. NEW DEAL IN THE SOUTH signs of a new deal in the poli- city Republican party in the South of significance. This was indire- tive a prediction made by Senator S. Brookhart of Iowa, after a confer- t week with the President-elect leading to Mr. Brookhart who is on the Senate Committee cha- ch the investigation of the distri- tional Federal patronage in the South like-up is to be expected under the investigation in the allotment of Signs of a new deal in the policy of the Republican party in the South are full of significance. This was indicated by a prediction made by Senator Smith W. Brookhart of Iowa, after a conference last week with the President-elect. According to Mr. Brookhart who is chairman of the Senate Committee charged with the investigation of the distribution of Federal patronage in the South, a shake-up is to be expected under the next administration in the allotment of the offices. He is convinced that the Hoover administration will be honest in this respect, as it will be in all others. He believed that the shake-up will include the three states of Mississippi, Georgia and South Carolina, with possibly others. As a result of the facts brought out by the committee's investigation, it is altogether likely that the few remaining Negro political leaders from the South will be eliminated from the Republic of Na tional Committee. This has already been done in Georgia, where Editor Benjamin J. Davis of the Atlanta Independent was forced to retire, although the charges of bartering in offices failed to prove his participation. At the trial of National Committeeman Perry W. Howard of Mississippi, a local jury acquitted him, on the ground that his accusers were unworthy of belief. Nevertheless, he has not been restored to the post that he held as an assistant to the Attorney General of the United States In South Carolina, where similar charges were brought against the white Republican committeeman, he was neither indicted nor forced to retire from his office. As a result of the fact that the operations of the Brookhart committee have so far been directed mainly against the Negro leaders, it is no wonder that the Senator's Iowa constituents harbor the belief that his real objective is to eliminate Negro leadership, rather than to put an end to the sale of Federal patronage, as has been so virtuously announced. There have been so many charges about this matter on disposing of offices in Southern states on the basis of a cash contribution to the party funds, or a payment to the party leader, that it is just as well to take it for granted that there is some justification for the statement. The practice is not unknown in the North as was demonstrated when it was proved in court that the nomination for a judgeship was made for the consideration of several thousand dollars in one of the counties of Greater New York not so many years ago. The difference is that the practice is held to be dishonest and unlawful in this state, while below Mason and Dixon line it has been winked at as a permissible practice under the anomalous condition of politics existing in that section. For this easy virtue in the politics of that section the national leaders of the Republican party are directly responsible. They have allowed the Democrats to monopolize the privilege of voting for Congress and President, and at the same time encouraged the maintenance of a skeleton of a Republican organization, solely for the purpose of using its delegates in national conventions and furnishing candidates for Federal appointments. It is this perpetuation of a rotten borough system that is responsible for the demoralization of Republican politics in the South. The Negro is not wholly responsible for the part he has been forced to play in it, as that has been the only way in which he could participate in politics. If the division of the Southern Democrats in the last campaign is to create a new alignment in politics, it may be that the time is ripe to put an end to the rotten borough system. The first to suffer from such a revolution would naturally be the Negro leaders, but it will not suffice to stop with them. If the old system of Republican organization maintained to control patronage, but without substantial voting strength, is to be swept away, it will probably mean the elimination of the Negro from active political leadership, for the present, at least. If the whites of the South then divide their forces on a more equal basis, it will not be long before they will be appealing to the blacks to divide along the same lines. Along this line of division lies the political salvation of the South But it will not do for Senator Brookhart's committee to consider its work accomplished with the elimination of two Negro members of the Republican National Committee, neither of whom was proved guilty of selling official patronage. The probe should go deeper than that. Let the practices of the white leaders in Texas, South Carolina, Virginia and other Southern states be investigated. Then the predicted shhike-up will be in order, with a new deal for all concerned. And the practice of honesty in the disposition of the offices should be coupled with equal honesty in the matter of voting at elections and counting the ballots. SENATE AND THE MARINES Despite all the talk about goodwill toward Latin-America, the United States Marine Corps, otherwise known as "the Leathernees," remains as the concrete expression of the Big Stick or the mailed fist, in the physical contact of this country with Nicaragua and other weak nations south. In the Senate last Friday Senator Dill sought to get the marines out of Nicaragua by tacking an amendment onto the naval bill, withdrawing support for the marines in that republic after July 1. But the administration exerted such pressure on the Senators, that the next day the amendment was recalled and the appropriation for the marines voted for without any restriction as to the time they may occupy that republic, which but recently elected the new pro- dent under the supervision of American officers. Among those who voted to withdraw the marines from Nicaragua was Senator Borah, which was in contrast with his action in the previous session, when he was in favor of keeping them there, until after the election. Now that the election is over, he takes the view that the marines should be withdrawn within a reasonable time. This action of maintaining an armed force in Nicaragua is significant as to the future prospect of the prolongation of the occupation of Haiti. THE AGE Prof. Moore Writes Frederick D. The following bit of history concerning Frederick Jas was written by Prof. C. Moore of Greensboro, N. published in the Daily New City. Editor of The Daily New The resolution introduced by Senator King of Utah, calling for the return of the marines and the ending of the occupation of that island, which has remained buried in committee, was defeated without a roll call. The evidence taken by the Senate committee, concerning the methods adopted to subdue the natives, has likewise been buried, except for what has leaked out through individual witnesses. There has been a determined effort to bottle up the whole question of the occupation of Haiti. Similar attempts have been made to keep quiet the reasons for the resignation of Dr. A. C. Millspaugh, who was financial adviser and general receiver for Haiti, until he returned to this country the first part of February. It was reported then that he had clashed with the American High Commissioner and other officials over their alleged extravagance in spending the revenues of the republic. Other authorities described Haiti as a country where the government is rich while the people are poor and taxed to death. The American administration is charged with responsibility for the waste of public funds in futile and unproductive improvements This action in perpetuating the rule of the weaker Latin-American countries through the instrumentality of the marines, denotes the determination of the United States government to dominate these countries. Ostensibly this is done for their own good, but that does not render the process any the less galling to those who are dominated FAD FOR DARK SKINS A society writer in one of the yellow journals, which appeals to the largest number of readers outside of the tabloids, recently described the latest feminine fad at Palm Beach as an effort to acquire a palnut or mahogany tint for the skim to accomplish by this by the natural aid of sunshine has been the aim of those who have the time and leisure to loll on the sandy beaches. But nature is at times slow in its processes, and the deities of society who have adopted this and seek other means to accelerate their transition into the brunette class. Here what the writer who signs himself fully Benedick, says about it A society writer in one of the yellow journals, which appeals to the largest number of readers outside of the tableoids, recently described the latest feminine fad at Palm Beach as an effort to acquire a walnut or mahogany tint for the skin. To accomplish by this by the natural aid of sunshine has been the aim, of those who have the time and leisure to loll on the sandy beaches. But nature is at times slow in its processes, and the devotees of society who have adopted this fad seek other means to accelerate their transition into the brunette class. Here is what the writer who signs himself Billy Benedick, says about it. These resourceful females have had recourse to a very clever device in their efforts to achieve brunette beauty. As I was let in to the secret by one of them, I shall impart the startling intelligence to my readers. First, the ladies rub their faces, bodies and limbs with oil, and then dust their olegranous pelts with the darkest powder that can be bought. The result is literally remarkable. Never have I beheld so many ultra-brunettes in my life. One would imagine all the merrier that Southern Spain, until you recognize them to be young Nordic friends from New York, Newport or Philadelphia. And how determined are these same ladies to retain their coloring at night. As fashion has declared that stockings are no longer fashionable, even with evening attire, there ensues a general oiling and powdering of legs in advance of dinner parties. As the ladies refuse to leave their respective domiciles until their nether limbs have been tinted just the proper shade, there are many late arrivals who have been dressed in certain married couple arrived so long after the announced hour an explanation was necessary, and what do you think the lady said? I am very sorry, Lucille, she announced in a loud voice, "That I am so tardy, but I just could not match the color of my calves. Try as I might, the left one remained lighter than the right and you know I couldn't appear in public with one light darker than the other. As the converse of the beauty problem which involves the aid of skin whiteners and bleaching processes this should be of interest to many of those who believe that nature can be improved upon by art. It also shows that human nature is much the same, despite the differences of complexion, in the desire to change one's spots. If the heroine of "The Blacker the berry" had waited to read this more or less veracious yarn, she might have taken comfort and worried less over her complexion. But the question arises in walnut and walhogany complexions are going to be so popular in Florida, what will be the effect on the jimmy laws? The question arises how will the local conductors of the southern railroads view the presence of dark skinned passengers in Pullman coaches and drawing rooms? With their keen eyes for color and native tolerance to according first class accommodation to such passengers as show aarker tinge, it might be that they would stop their trains to hale the artificial bruettes before some local magistrate who would punish the offenders by fine or imprisonment. This color sad may have its dangers.

With their keen eyes for color and native intolerance to according first class accommodation to such passengers as show a darker tinge, it might be that they would stop their trains to hale the artificial brunettes before some local magistrate who would punish the offenders by fine or imprisonment. This color sad may have its dangers. --- THE AGE READERS' FORUM Prof. Moore Writes Of Frederick Douglass the following bit of interesting history concerning Frederick Douglass was written by Prof. Charles H. Moore of Greensboro, N. C., and published in the Daily News of that City. Editor of The Daily News Frederick Douglass was born in Tuckahoe, Md, in 1817. Sometimes when he was asked the month and date, he would reply, "I never have been informed definitely as to the latter, but my mother told me I was born in the winter of 1817, that's all I know about it" For some reason or other February 9th has been permanently fixed as the month and date of the above mentioned year, when little Frederick came into this world. He died at Anacostia, D. C, February 20, 1893. As is not my purpose to speak of the life, career and achievements of this great Negro, as many of the readers of the Daily News are doublest well acquainted with the history of his life, etc. But inasmuch as this is the 12th anniversary of Fred Douglass' birth year, I am reminded of a bit of history that transpired in connection with Mr Douglass in the early nineteenies, for which I respectfully ask the Mr. Douglass in the Daily News for the Space in 1893. He had published his autobiography which seems to have been a "good seller" and widely read. At that time the late Rev Dr Thomas H Pritchard, one of the WEEKLY NOTES FROM INDIA By The Age Special Correspondent The Labor Situation. Considerable anxiety is being caused by the latest developments in the labor situation in Bombay and Calcutta. Though the strike enquiry committee is moving at snail's speed, constant trouble is taking place in the mill area. The labor organizations are divided amongst themselves as a result of the growing discontent and the wage cutting that is resorted to by the mill-owners. The peril to law and order has not been so far so violent as in other countries and at present his situation is being better settled and staffed seriously by the vested interests. They are inclined to believe that the situation will grow worse and have therefore waited in deputation on the governor of Bombay to look at street measures against the left wingers. ment some return in form of lands or pensions during the war in they fought by the side of Britains, and for the last ten years the Government has done nothing for them but starve them and their families to death. If the discontent spreads amongst other troops in India, which is bound to come, will the Government of India say that the Communists are sterring the masses' or whether the Soviet influence is looming large SATYGRAHA Ex-Soldiers Passive Resistance Movement The movement is going on strong and the Ex-soldiers whose leaders are arrested, refuse to go away from Labore unless their leaders are The aition of the Government whether it be cautions or drastis will make no effect whatsoever, for repression of agitation will not eliminate the real cause of the suffering and stagnation of the industries all round the country, which is 100 per cent die to the fiscal policy of the Government and their step-motherly attitude towards Indian industries. The wackers are harassed their wages cut their leaders molested and they are starved and victimized. But it is refreshing to note that this year in the Indian National Congress they marched into the Congress camp, 10,000 strong to enclose upon the old-school leaders that their interests are overlooked by the Indian National Congress, and they succeeded in capturing the Congress pandal and delivered the thought-provoking speeches. The class consciousness of the workers will beheld the prosperity not only of the Indian workers alone, but the exploited masses all the world over and India are not lagging behind Pune are needed merely to prepare for the future. The Indian National Committee report that is bound to go against the workers—against the Public Safety Bill which will spirit away their leaders—and against the Trade Union Bill which will crush down their growing aspirations to have decent wages in uniform substance. Ex Indians Soldiers Struggle In Lahore thousands of Skydiers matched to the Government house to lay in laying the LD Governor their greavements and were stopped by the police their leaders arrested in a result of this the Governor hand off the BOM of the police to passive resistance and are lying on the open street day and have refused to return to their homes unless their leaders are leased unconditionally.

C. He read the autobiography of Douglass and having been so well impressed with it, he wrote an article to the Charlotte Observer, in which he expressed his opinion of the book and the author. One of the impressions in that article was well recall, viz. that Dr. Dickerson after having clearly read this autobiography, stated as his opinion that "Frederick Douglass was one of the most remarkable men this country had ever produced." I clip the article and sent it to Mr. Douglass in Chicago, who at the time was one of the Commissioners of the World's Columbian Expansion, having been appointed by President Frederick Johnson in accordance with an act passed by Congress, authorizing such appointments. Within a few days after forwarding the communication of Dr. Pritchard's, I received the following letter from Mr. Douglass "Exposition Universelle de Chicago August 14, 1893 "Dear Mr. Moore "I give you thanks for your kind letter and for the extract it contains. I am even more pleased with the candour of the writer than with the praise he beatows. It is something to see such sentiments as he expresses coming from so far South. There is much in the situation of the colored people of the country that does discouraging but I love hope and wait truth as patient and still finally pretreat. -- FREDERICK DOUGLASS CHAS. H MOORE.

SATYGRAHA Ex-Soldiers Passive Resistance Movement. The movement is going on strong, and the ex-soldiers whose leaders are arrested, refuse to go away from Labore unless their leaders are released unconditionally. These soldiers were promised good hopes as a reward for their participating in the war and now are left on mere putture and persons which could be killed. Labore leaders only crime was a gather together at the discontented and bring them to Labore and make a representation to the Government. Instead of engaging one or two members of the staff in friendly and sympathetic, that the Government arrested the leader who threatened absolutely NO violence.

COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON THE SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS Talking about the Salvation Army and the Booth family, the Afro-American Presbyterian said. The recent agitation in the Salvation Army and the attempt to remove General Bramwell Booth from the head of the organization because of the infirmities of age have drawn attention to the origin and growth and the world-wide activities of the William Booth among the poor of England, it now ministers to the needs of the poor in almost every civilized land. Since the founding of the organization some member of the Booth family has been at its head. General William Booth at first, then his son, Bramwell Booth in England, and Ballington Booth and Evangeline Booth in America Something of the magnitude of the work of the Army may be gained from these figures "Beginning in mission and welfare work in 1865, and adopting its present name in 1878, it is now represented in almost every country of importance in all continents. It has never published its membership proper, but its corps number nearly 10,000, its other and cadets about 16,000 or more, and its workers without rank in excess of 6,200. Its trust funds and other property are placed at a total of $150,000,000 the world around." The head of the army worlds almost unlimited power within the organization and there are those who feel that his power should be restricted in accordance with the principles of democracy. The Salvation Army will be remembered as one of the few relief agencies that ministered to the needs of the soldiers in the world war, without discrimination as to race or color. The Florida Sentuel of Jacksonville advised the Negroes of that city to vote against a pending bond issue for the following reason. While it is true that the Negro sections of the city need more pavement and more sewerage, it is not clear that any provision has been made in this bond issue to provide them. Before the Negro places a mortgage on his real estate, as bond issues most certainly do, he ought to ascertain as to what extent he is to be benefitted. Though it may be presumed that the city commission, in the absence of an expressed declaration, plans to use the money where it is most needed, our experience has been that the presumption is never borne out by the facts. The Negro sections have never properly shared in a bond issue, have never been given any sort of reasonable consideration. As bond issues have been voted the money has been spent, almost to a nickel in the white sections and in making these already sanitary sections more beautiful and more sanitary, while the Negro sections have been very largely sighted and thus they have become the dumping ground of Jacksonville. From Pearl to Myrtle Avenue, some twenty blocks—there is not a Negro street that is paved except that which will necessarily serve as thoroughfare for the street. The sewerage is negligible and the general atmosphere is everything but inviting. What is true of this section is equally true of Last Jacksonville Newtown and all sections where Negros trade in large measure. That the city commission would seek to continue this sort of taxation without representation" can reasonably be conjectured from its long line of injustices which are fraught with shocking and disheartening misapplication of public trust and deces. This is one of the besetting sins of most Southern cities, neglecting the sanitation and improvement of Negro residential sections, although that neglect may affect the whole city. 1. aint He received tora headed.

The Student Council claims the punishment was in commensurate with the offense. This is a question that can only be decided by a person or committee with all the facts before them. Whether this example will have its effect on the student body to be seen. However, the student should give it serious consideration and realize that the university exists for imparting educational information, and decorum must be maintained accordingly. According to some accounts, the young woman showed approval of some action by the young man by kissing him in public. Such enthusiastic marks of approval should evidently be conferred in a less spectacular manner. Referring to the passage on the Woody segregation ordinance to the Richmond common council, by a vote of seventeen to two, the Richmond Planet said It was vigorously opposed by Councilman Price and Britton, who favored a postponement with a view of having the situation analyzed and a practical solution of the questions raised and the conditions alleged to exist dealt with in a manner satisfactory to all parties concerned. This was done with a view of bettering conditions in the matter without any injury to the city as a whole. The political leaders would not have this way, but preferred working upon the prejudices of the people and thereby awaken ill-feeling between the white and colored people in the community. It was the case of the demagogue and the politician against the economist and the statesman. In this connection, it may be said that the Rev Samuel L. Dumville pastor of the Denny Street Metho dist Church (white) delivered a ringing discourse in which he declared that there would be no segregation in after life and he questioned whether "God will have the future realms of bliss divided into zones into which He will place the different races". That is pretty strong ground for a white clergyman to take in the former capital of the Southern Confederacy. He also advocated social justice or fair dealing in civic matters relating to the Negro. --- Announcing that Baptist affiliates are still "serambled" in Texas and Houston Informer told of how a receiver had been appointed for certain church property. It said Before the ink was dry on last week's issue of The Intermer, which discussed the alarming conditions existing between the two factions on the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas, and the probable loss, at an early date, on the convention's most valuable holdings. Houston College property news was transmitted to this paper, the court action at Forwish last Saturday. According to the news imparted to this paper, a district judge in Tarantan County upon prayer of the Harrison faction of the Texas Baptists appointed a receiver for the convention naming William M. Mr. Donald, outstanding race banker and fraternal as receiver. It is alleged that the court ordered the secretary of the Wilson factories to turn over all records and everything belonging to the convention held in his custody, to the receiver, which action tends to complicate matters and to considerably 'scramble' Baptist affairs in this state. As stated before in these columns it is regrettable and deplorable that these so-called Christian ministers and leaders can not harmonize their differences and cease resorting to civil and criminal courts for an adjudication of their differences but apparently the die has been cast and it seems that it is a fight to the last ditch and the knife to the head. It is notorious that factorial figures among churchmen, regardless of race or color, are frequently marked by greater bitterness and acrimony than ordinary business controversies. It is then a case of the church mutant. Discussing the relations of organized labor and Democracy in Buffalo, Progressive Herald said, in New York City last week, a group of twenty white men walked out of a dance hall because one of their number, a Negro, was denied the privilege of dancing theoor Athens in the days of Solomon the great lawmaker and Perdere the statesman were witnessed a democracy their local in the Greek people than these Communist workers were to their constitution. The Negro was one of them. It color was forgotten he was a member of their company a fellow laborer and fraternal union and in his being denied the right which others were privileged to enjoy a color and race banished and those twenty whites saw him only as a brother. When this began remember that in many of our Christian churches his presence would not only have created a nuisance, but would have resulted in his most unwelcome invasion, how ought he to feel when he remembers that his fellow fraternity are more Christian than many professed strong disciples of Christianity. These 20 white men did not stop with walking out of the dance hall and declaring a general booing of the place but then two of them with stern ad (which he had paid for in advance to the dance hall proprietor) and proceeded to attack the place in the dance hall more. When this spirit of denomination is so strongly manifested by organized labor as by this group of communities the common problem is the Negro and white race in the same t CHURCH AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES --- St. James Pres. Church The final Sunday in February was a day of marked interest in St. James, with a large interest in St. James' center, a morning children's sermon by the pastor William Lloyd Ims, based on Isaiah 55. The general sermon, The Church and the Drama, was a portrayal of the church's community, its faith, and its honest-minded leaders in artistic and the pastor took occasion to praise those colorful artists of the drama who, in spite of difficulties, have made great things, and have made worthy contributions, with all mentioned three outstanding plays with deep moral purpose; "Mr. Moneypenny" by Chamming Pollock, "The Revolt" by Henry Griggle, and "The Griggle" by Ethan Morrison. "In these examples, the pastor said, 'we find the deep desire to express moral truth in noble and artistic form. In such fields of effort, the Church should help us and the Dracula with the Church." Oz young man united with the church and for the offertery music the Church School choir sang, under direction of Benjamin Ragdale, director, with the master of St. James Choir, directed the rendition of "O Mother meet me there," arranged by H. Burtleigh, Benjamin Ragdale, harpone solist, sang "Enough from Meideis" "Elimin" by the Church School, Brotherhood, Young People's Discussion Group, and Christian Endeavor held special services at appointed afternoon hours, and the pastor delivered by invitation, and addressed "Community Music" at the Girl's Junior High School auditorium, on the program of the Ulla Monarch Band concert At the evening hour, the St. James Missionary Institute took and special speakers included Miss Elose B.

New member receive the hour at the church will welcome into fellowship publicly at this time. The pastor will preach at the morning hour of March 3 on "The Church and Popular Apparitions" Bethel A. M. E. Church Last Sunday was observed as Social Service Day at Bethel Young People's Lyceum. Short talks were given by Miss Ethel Cairn, Attorney at Law, and James H. Hubert of the New York Urban League. The main address was by Duse Mohammed Alt, historian and lecturer, of Egypt and North Africa, who brought interesting facts and pleaded for race pride among the African ancestry as proof of the fact. He also stated that Christ was a black man, as well as Moses and Noah. There was a resitiation by Master Will Jones, and musical selections by Mediasene L. J. Sullivan, Laude Jones, Candis Day and Em Etm Booker, Mrs. Lottie B. Wade was mistress on ceremonies and Mrs. L. S.

Sanders, by the Samuel Westfield is president and Miss Imlair Dunny, secretary, Oscar De Brunet, conductor. Concert will be at Refuel next Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. We cannot say whether the pastor received his inspiration from the beautiful flowers that adorned the altar or not but we are not sure. The pastor has the oldest sermons it has been our pleasure to listen to on Sunday morning to a large and appreciative audience. Hebrews 3.3 was the text chosen. 2 p.m. the Church School conduct.

Bridge St. A. M. E. Church "The Self-Dedication of Jesus" was the thought around which the pastor, Dr. Edward Erpast Tyler, centered the thinking of the vast congregation that greeted him Simone, the daughter of the pastor, being a period of Lent, it was well that we gave a portion of widening Jesus. In connection with what he stated that one of the criticisms by the Roman Catholic Church of the other Christian demonic interpretations on the Bible, and as a result we have many crises. The Catholic Church does its own interpretation and as a result they have one creed. Dr. Tyler stressed the point that the big thing is not so much interpretation but getting to the "connection" with the topic he beautifully described and explained why Jesus was baptised by John. It was because he the God-man, wanted to identify Himself in the fullest manner with the human race, for He did not want to be separate and apart from us. Thus he re-dedicated in. In this life most of us narrow ourselves down to the things we can can see, handle and touch. We should not bend all our efforts, in this direction but seek the higher spiritual things of life. Weier points on the same were. Sometimes we are asked because we see those who serve God in spirit and in truth suffer and have trials. This should not disturb us as long as we "are out there with God." It will should be our will. Some seek to be holy and sanctified, but we are in itself but a means to and end. Four persons joined the church when the invitation was extended. Among them was Edward Cargill, a secretary of Brooklyn Lodge of Elks. 4 p.m., there was a special religious service held under the auspices of the missionary forum. It was well attended. At the evening hour there was a song service led by Evangelist Ihenson and others. This was followed by a drama, entitled "Daniel" It was given by the Young People's Missionary Society. Special music was played. The importance and significance of the message that the drama brought to the large congregation, apparently was not missed by a single person and it made a deep impression. Next Sunday will be a big day at Bridge Street in the morning, for Bishop Joshua H. Jones will make an eponymous吻 to this church since he has been assigned to this district. Grace Church of Harlem On Sunday morning, Dr. A. C. Garner of Grace Congregational Church took his sermon from the 19th chapter of St. John, lst to 27th chapter of St. John, thst to day sermon and Dr. Garner made the best of his subject. He told of the wonderful part the "three Marya" had played in the time of Jesus and told his hearers of the three great things to play in the church of today if they practiced the three great things "Faith, Hope and Charity" At the close of the service the initial daughter of Eldon and Mrs. Marina Garner and Dr. Garner for baptism into the Congregational faith. The child was christened Rosamond Juanta. The god parents were Mr. Farrell and Meadames Kodney and Benjamin church school covered up 1:15 p.m. At 8 p.m. the Ladies Ad presented their fifth annual women's day program. After the devotional the Ladies Ad took a pronounced part, the service was turned over to the women's day exercises, which consisted of piano and vocal solos, a violin solo, recitation and an interview with Mrs. Langford's subject was "Light's" Mrs. Erie Bean is president of the Ladies Ad.

The lectures will be held on March 6, 13, 20 and 27. Harry Pace, Mr. Loweet and the two Face children are on the sick list. At St. Sunday, community will be served at the coming service. I tapped that all the faces will be present, as a special session will be preached by the pastor. Fourth Moravian Church Lent again reminds us of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. Was ever love like God? Was ever love like Jesus? Was ever love like ours? Let us go to Calvary with Jesus and await Him at the Tomb. To lay life down for his friends man has not greater love than that. Christ has not greater love than that. Christ has promised that His death is available for the ungrateful, the disobedient, the unmerciful for all whose needs are great. Nothing frustrates the love of God but man's will. Christ sacrifices Himself to bring eternal good to others. Sin and Satan bid us refuse the gift. Our best friend is our enemy. Our worst friend is our enemy. Polluted and unclean Christ can save us. His death avails. Or Jesus let the persecuted one in our life suffer and bind us closer to Thee. The storms come on as Christ shine out. The following books are presented for lenten reading in "Liturgia" and "Vitae" texts. "Thursday" might illustrated lecture "Life of Christ in Art." On Sunday, Mr. Stevens presents his program at 5:30 p.m. Holy communion, morning, and evening. WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH --- Sermons "The Sins of Dye," "Social Duties that Emanuel A. M. E. Church A large and appreciative audience greeted the pastor, Rev. D. Ward Nichols, at the morning service, the congregation listened attentively and asked, "The Finality of the Christian Religion," closing the series of sermons on "Five Great Religions of the World." He pointed out that Christianity is the culminating point of all religions and asked, "What question? Art Thou that should come, or look we for another?" as did John the Baptist. But we might know that Jesus is the complete revelation of God. We have not been able to comprehend the complete revelation that has been made through Jesus Christ, but as we grow in grace and knowledge we discover more and more of this revelation. Beautiful message was enthusiastically received by the congregation. The Sunday school held its session at the usual hour, Henry Newell were added to the roll and a number of visitors were present and entertained the Bible classes one and two, at which time a beneficial round UNION BAPTIST CHURCH—240 W Parking 11, Sunday School Parking 11, Sunday School second Sunday each month.

The American minister, Dr. Douglas, and those who were in the congregation received great encouragement and inspiration. At 11 o'clock, Bishop Geo Clement of the Third Episcopal Church, Kentucky, delivered one of the most scholarly and most eloquent sermons that it has been our privilege of hearing. Bishop Clement had been in the city of Nashville, where he and people of Kush felt honored and appreciative of the bishop's presence. Bishop Clement expressed himself as being confident of the successful leadership of Dr. Douglas in this mission. Included in Jerusalem to come Israel" (Numbers 10:29-32 and Zachariah 8:24) was the subject of him sermon, and many brilliant thoughts were brought out. One of the main thoughts expressed by the speaker was that concerning leadership. The text, which dealt largely with Mosques and his work—leading the children of Israel—presented a picture somewhat in keeping with happenings, etc., of leadership of the present day. As was the case then, so it is now, leaders are confronted with obstacles such as lack of faith, failure to profit by experiences, shunning of responsibilities, etc., but in spite of all these things, a successful leader must look forward and let not the adversities of nature and mankind be hurdances to them. Like Moses, the leaders of today must hold on to the promises of God, and He will deliver them. In conclusion, the bishop said: "We as a race have had a hard fight for freedom, and for civil rights, but this fight does not compare with the fight which we must wage for economic opportunities." (Included in Jehovah's Promits to Israel) proved to be a theme supplying food for thought for every hearer of this sermon. The Metropolitan Baptist inspirational chorus, Mrs. C. Stovall, president. Mr. DeHolland, director, came at 3 p.m. under auspices of Masonry Association, Society. Mrs. da Rufin, pastor of the work of Mrs Edna Haynes, entertained their hearers with good old-time songs of praise. Jas. W.

Prof. Eichelberger made a plea to Negro youth to better prepare themselves to face the world by acquiring knowledge and then putting that knowledge to good use. A Program of Religious Education is needed because the old one has failed to put over Christ's program. Dr. Gen Biddle, one of Zion's oldest ministers, was a guest of honor.

A Nice Three-Story Brick Building with all improvements for Bigdots Course completed in Four Weeks Diplomas Given THE material contrast between the structure with which Boswell lived and the Washington work of his own plant is sufficiently striking to be enough for one man to bring it to imperfect measure of Dr. Washington's work and achievement. The education and annual turning out of two or three hundred young men and women, and the training of a new class of commendable and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he did and sought to do.

Miss Mary Denham will speak. Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Sunday morning, February 24, there was a large attendance, at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. The pastor, after a long hour from 1st Corinthians 2nd chapter 14-15 verses, "But the natural man can receive not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foodliness unto him; neither can he know them, nor the spiritual judgement, but he that is spiritual judgement all things, yet he himself is judged of no man." Subject: "Spirit of Discernment." He said one does not have to become eccentric, queer, erag or imposing to be spiritual. Moral egotism is no symbol of spirituality. In fact, egotism and spirituality are contrary terms. To become spiritual, one must humble, as in the case of the Pharisee and Plubitan. Constant repression, philosophy or system built on "Dona" are false. Neither should it be to be a goody-goody, for this kind of people can also be good-for-nothing. To be spiritual-minded is life, and life is vitality, enthusiasm, continuous development. Religion sets free the totality of man. In speaking young people who wish to withhold the totality of man or law, he illustrated such action by comparing it with traffic at a busy hour on a busy corner with no traffic officer nor signal lights. The inevitable result would be disgrace and shame. He also spoke of the harm of the child in the row cell of intellectuality and formality and staying there. A spirit-filled man is a mystery. He spoke of the time of the past when religion was a kind of mystery anyway, and that now no one has respect for it. He told the christians from unbelievers. At the evening service, the pastor preached from Matthew 16: 17 and 23rd verses. 17th verse. "And Jesus answered and asked unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in you." But he turned and said unto Peter. Get the hind him, Satan, thou art an offence unto me, for thou favours not the things that be of God but those that be of man." The pastor reminded us that our best moments are often followed by our worst. He also reminded us that we should begin the beginning of His ministry, was told the identical words that were spoken to him when he used Peter to help persuade Christ from His mission. One can not be in his mind or in his heart, one would or would not do. He emphasized how Christ told us to watch, and also the words: "If any man would come after me let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow such a courageous christian, for one must not be afraid to speak the truth, afraid of persecution, of opposition, of losing friendship, of being misunderstood, on, or ever crucified. Man can be lifted to great heights or dropped to the lowest depths. Two people joined the church during the day and the collection was $1700. St. Paul Baptist Church We have just closed a most successful revival series, running from November 11 to 22. Rev James William Young preacher, belonging to the Little Mt.

Religious Education, one of the greatest needs in the christian church, was presented in a sequestration on The Qualifications Church in Chicago, W.berger jr., director of Religious Education Department of the A. M. K. Zion Church, at Fleet Street Church on Sunday morning. Prof. Eichlerberger is naturally endowed with a high order of intellect and is highly engaged by study. His mind is enriched by prefound learning, drawn from every realm of thought as it relates to the modern day program. The congregation listened with great interest to the speaker, and gained much of the valuable knowledge he had give.

HOWARD DEFEATS LINCOLN FIVE IN RETURN GAME Eisons Turn Tables On Lions In Game At East Orange East Orange, N. J.—Revenge was sweet to the Howard Bison in defeating the Lincoln Lion at East Orange, N. J. on Washington's Birthday. The fast that Lincoln had emerged victorious in the New York game intensified the interest in the Orange conflict. This accounted for the largest attendance that has greeted Howard in its games with Lincoln and Morgan, playing under the auspices of the North Jersey Howard Alumna's association. Coates, Hall and Simpson, in the first half, accounted for twelve points for Howard while Lincoln nided by Weatherless and Whittington, trailed close behind with a disadvantage of only a two-point margin at half time. Howard Gaine Advantage During this period both teams realized the large size of the court and attempted to adapt their offensive to a conservation of energy for the final stun a Howard gained the advantage through long shots and equally long passes. In the second half both teams started out fast and furious, with Howard looking like an unbeatable combination when it gathered six points in rapid succession before Lincoln was able to score. DaCosta was injected into the game for Lincoln. This proved to be a most timely substitution as Lincoln took on new life and threatened to surpass the fighting Bison, but when the score was tied at 23, all and only another minute to play Howard called 'time out' to talk things over. As play was resumed Simpson, Howard's Ace, assisted by Harris made the sensational shot which decided the game in the Bison's favor. Eager for Rubber Game Both teams are eager to play off the tie, each one being desperately determined to win. The rubber game was scheduled to be played in Washington, February 27, but due to a great demand for a return game in New York City, where our audience of 4,000 people can be accommodating it has been decided to postpone the game until some time in March, provided proper arrangements can be made to play the same in New York City.

FROM THE BENCH Member Teams Of League Announce Reserve List of Players Philadelphia Pa—When the newly formed American Negro League met here Saturday, February 23, the most interesting announcement of the session came from J. Henry Lloyd, manager of the Lincoln Giants, and who has played on nearly all the leading colleges of the country during the season. Lloyd announced that he would not be a regular member of the Lincoln's this season. He said that George Scales would be moved over to second base and that Billy Yancey of Philadelphia would be the regular shortstop. If the manager of the Lincoln carries out his announced policy not to play but to manage the team from the bench, it will be the first time he has not been a regular starter over twenty years. His retirement from active participation in the game will be keenly felt by the old-time fans. To Rotate Umpires Another important announcement coming from the League Saturday was that the club-owners have worked out a definite system of rotating umpires this season, thus making it very difficult for an umpire to face a called home team. A special meeting of League officials will be held Friday of the week to adopt the schedule. The following men were paid on the reserve lists of the various clubs.

This reviewer would find it difficult to answer that question himself because the rescue is the finest which the Lafayette Theatre has presented in many months, and the picture is one of the most gripping screen dramas silent or talking—which it has ever been our pleasure to witness. Doc Straane, the producer of the revue, whips, he calls "Tell Him 'Bout Me.' From Overture to finale it is an undated success of wonderful musical comedy situations. The girls certainly dance, the comedians are real funs the peculiarly are the finest and the music is such a only Doc Hays famous. UM. Alabama Orchestra can furnish. And all this is set against a most pleasing background of beautiful actors and gorgeous costumes. The big cast includes the following well known actors: Don Straine and Lila Helen Stokes, Audrey Thomas, John La Bue, the California Pep Marti, York Cooper and Fiona Lumpstead, the chorus from Philadelphia's Club Alabama and the famous Alam Serrades under leadership Dr. Hyder. The postopia feature is the Autophone talking drama 'The Lion and the Mouse'. This is the best of the talking pictures which have been produced to date. Aside from the fact that it relates a gripping heart-touching story scenes of unforgettable drama, the featured players is one of the world's greatest actors—Lonel Barrymore, a member of the most famous family actors in the world including John Barrymore and Ethel Barrymore. Seeing and hearing Lonel Barrymore enact the role of the ruthless financier who crushes everyone who opposes him is a new-to-be-forgetten treat.

Alexander was again the hugh Theatre This Week The glorious hey-dey of the Lincoln Theatre was brought to mind Monday when a capacity audience filled the theatre to witness the opening performance of Leonard Harper's "Crazy Rhythm Capers" and to see the one and only Jack Johnson in action as an actor and as a fighter Judged by the enthusiasm of the patrons, the show was enjoyed more thoroughly than any in their memory Johnson certainly was a little. The audience cheered him to the echo when he told of his greatest ring battles, they marveled at his powerful figure as he donned a pair of gloves and fighted togs and they roared with laughter as he toyed with one of the comedians and a volunteer fighter from the audience. The concensus of opinion of the patrons was that he is almost as good an actor as he was a great fighter. Johnson has promised to reveal some of the intimate secrets of the prize ring which the world thought were forever lost with the passing of Tex Rickard before he terminates his week's engagement at the Lincoln Theatre. The musical revue which is being presented around Jack Johnson is one of the finest Harlem has ever seen. It kept the audience applauding and rocking with laughter. The feature act in the revue is that of Al Moore and Freddie Washington, two of the greatest dancers on the American stage. This famous pair have just returned from an engagement of two years in the capitols of Europe where they were one of the great sensations of the stage. They rendered a Tango and a Chinese dance which brought storms of applause. In addition to those mentioned above, the cast of "Crazy Rhythm Caney" includes Troy Brown, the sat and funny comedian, Skeeter Winston, Ozie McPherson, one of the greatest of Blues singers, and Howard Elmore, a sweet-voced tenor and aplendid dramatic artist. There is a fine chorus and a red hot jazz band under the direction of Pringsley. The photoplay for the week is the splendid Underworld drama "Outcast" starring Corinne Griffith and Edmund Lowe. The Lincoln Theatre has taken on new life and vigor under its new management and a visit there will mean an afternoon or evening spent most enjoyably BILO AT LINCOLN NEXT WEEK.

F. W. Murman, who was brought from Europe by William Fox in order to direct this picture, selected an original theme by Herman Südmann on which to build the plot, but the director's embellishments in the way of scenery, action and photography bring him as much credit for the production as is due the noted author. When Mr. Murrain started work on "Sunrise," in the Fox Studios it was with the understanding that his word was to be final with regard to all items of production from the selection of the cast to the final editing of the film. The results which he obtained, and which have been widely applauded in New York and Philadelphia, los Angeles and Tampa, with the show at $2.20, show that the confidence which was placed in Mr. Murrain was fully justified. The leading roles are passed by Janet Gaynor and George O'Brien and a special score for the picture was arranged by the celebrated "Roxy," S L Rothafel. A. U.

Sailed from South Hampton on the Beverly A Wednesday Febbrary, 27 Lew Leslie Discusses Changing Viewpoint Towards Negro Shows By LEW LESLIE Inecessitates to be a difference in opinion between critics of the drama and the professional playgoer over the important question of what constitutes Negro art. As the producer of "Blackbirds" which is entering its eleventh month on Broadway, I believe I am in a position to settle the moop point in much as could be done in the Metropolitan press regarding this situation from time to time. Whenever a Negro musical ex-travaganza is brought to town and it doesn't show the Ethiopian in the settings and song background that is supposed to be essentially his by birthright, the critics as-sert the Negro is invading a tannah territory and the blackbird has been no exception to the rule. Be spite the quality of its entertainment and the fact that playgrounds have found a touch to their liking, critics still express disapproval over the modern settings, lighting effects, and costumes in the production. It's great entertainment that invariably was, but it wasn't Negro. The theatre has made great strides in the last twenties five years.

The settings and lighting, when judged by modern standards, were really amateurish. Even plays are written differently today than a quarter of a century ago. Not only that, but the playgoers themselves have improved with the times. Modern inventions have completely reorganized life and the Negro has naturally been reorganized along with white folks. There was a time when all that was expected of the Negro actor was to make funny faces. The more he could cug, the greater a comedian he was considered. His background invariably was either a cottonfield plantation or levee. That is whire he was supposed to belong and to put him any place else scenically was nothing short of theatrical suicide. And yet, despite the fact that art has entered the world, no one actor and the fact that untold thousands have deserted their southern homes for life in the large cities, critics still expect the Ethiopian in the theatre to present a picture of plantation life and no other. I have been watching the evolution of the Ethiopian theatre for almost twenty years. For the last eight years I have been producing Negro revues and musical comedies. I know for a fact that life's perspective has changed for the Negro. He thinks and acts along with his music by his brethren. His theatre has emerged from the stage in which it has wallowed for years. Not only has the Negro theatre produced real artists, not nugget stars of years ago, but its songs, music, scene background skits, and lighting are all artistically modern "Blackbirds" is an importer of Caucasian shows-only in point of scenery and mechanical equipment that is used in France, England, Italy and the United States of material offered it is essentially Ethiopian, modern and up to the minute in every way.

It seems to me that playwrights and not the critics have recognized the metamorphosis that has marked Negro art in America. They are, after all, the final judge, and if they find "Blackbirds" realistic, if they feel we are presenting the Negro as he is today, we have gone a long way to overcome the prejudice we have exerted, that the Negro is only at home in the theatre when he sings of Dixie or is picking cotton on a plantation 12th St. and Seventh Ave. PASSION'S PLAYGROUND Your Favorite Actors In a Drama of Hawaii and Her Vampires Phone Edg. 7858 Saturday, March 2, 1929 PROGRAM OF MUSIC FO PLAYED BY MISSE HA OF MUSIC FOR TWO P ED BY MISSES MASON PROGRAM OF MUSIC FOR TWO PIANOS PLAYED BY MISSES MASON & LINDSAY PROGRAM OF MUSIC FOR TWO PIANOS PLAYED BY MISSES MASON & LINDSAY (By LUCIEN H.

HOGANS DOINGS AMONG PULLMAN PORTERS THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES AN "EASY BOSS" After many years of observation among employees, service, and after having listened for an equal to their discussions on the good points, as well as their thought were not so good, of their employer, recently met, who has arrived at this conclusion, this observer would imply that when it came to the was inclined to be of an adamant nature, but on exceptionally generous in its dealings with its employer. Likewise an observer, the writer is inclined to this observation. In matters, having no direct result, strictly speaking, all relation between employees, in the final analysis, money—the Pullman Corp. From the writer's own observations, he does not another corporation of its size in the country with its employees in some things as is this common fact, it has always borne this reputation with employees, no matter how many other complaints against it. It had this repute among railroad companies with the old Wagner Palace Car Company. In the days preceding the union of the two cars who was discharged from one company would usually with the other company. Several of these Wagner still running, and any one of these will tell you that Company was just the opposite of the old Pullman dealings with its porters. From all accounts, it is best infraction of rules would mean discharge from Wagner Company, whereas the Pullman Company, give a fellow a second chance. Those are days, the writer can only repeat what he has been told, but it was patent that the Pullman people were much than the Wagner people. But so far as that goes, one need not go back time take the porters who ran over the New Railroad before its sleeping and parlor car service the Pullman Company. When this deal was made to many of these old porters, who had never worked, company were heard to express regret and wish not take place. In a way, one couldn't well blame it, for they had been under the New Haven's that the Pullman Company appeared an interlope so far as to tell some of his friends that the day that he was going to "turn in his keys." He did the "d—— Pullman service." He, however, like the Old New Haven men, found the Pullman Company power to work for that had been expected. His name will not be mentioned here, but then New Haven porters, who has been running as a New Haven for the past thirty years. In his office of his former employer and his present one makes this observation on the subject: "The Pullman Company gives me two units. Haven gave me none. Those I wore I bought, and me more wages as club car porter, the compartment on every dollar's worth of business I do is not exactly what the writer is trying to say about company for mine." That phase of the Pullman service relates directly what the writer is trying to say about company. What he is really endeavoring to portrace corporation of which few persons, who are not not to bear out the assertion made in the begin that few corporations are as lenient to its emploation. While speaking of lenency, another incident passing of the New Haven Railroad's sleeping and into Pullman management comes to mind. In fact a forgiveness on the part of the manager service was taken over, the porter personnel was men who had been discharged from the Pullman brightly afraid that the company was going togressions. For several months after the Pullman acquired the New Haven service, these former appearance of men that were being hunted needless. Apparently, the Pullman management thought with us so long as you behave yourselves was discharged because of his previous record in the Another phase of the Pullman service in New York as the disposition on the part of its management to the employee who has a friend wanted to learn to what extent these officials go on appointments of employees who are family men the superintendent of any Pullman district. If I want you some things that will prove beyond easy boss, the Pullman Company goes to the her what he tells you will not be for the purpose of Perhaps it is for this reason, more than any other Pullman employee resents the malinging of its faults and failings, but he also knows to among employees of the Pullman for an equal number of years points, as well as those points which their employer, there is one observance; The Pullman Company "easy papa."

The recent snowfall dated week-end travel to the Berk- up-State localities that go in for what it would have been, had this the railroads and incidentally help CORRESPONDENCE After many years of observation among employees of the Pullman service, and after having listened for an equal number of years to their discussions on the good points, as well as those points which they thought were not so good, of their employer, there is one observer, recently met, who has arrived at this conclusion; The Pullman Company is no "sugar papa," but it is an "easy papa." In other words, this observer would imply that when it came to money the company was inclined to be of an adamant nature, but otherwise it was exceptionally generous in its dealings with its employees. Likewise an observer, the writer is inclined to agree in part with this observation.

In the days preceding the union of the two companies, the porter who was discharged from one company would usually find employment with the other company. Several of these Wagner-Pullman porters are still running, and any one of these will tell you that the old Wagner Company was just the opposite of the old Pullman Company in its dealings with its porters.

Those are days, however, of which the writer can only repeat what he has been told, but from those recounts it was patent that the Pullman people were much easier to work for than the Wagner people. But so far as that goes, one need not go back to the Wagner time. Take the porters who ran over the New Haven and Hartford railroad before its sleeping and parlor car service was taken over by the Pullman Company. When this deal was being consummated, many of these old porters, who had never worked for the Pullman Company, were heard to express regret and wish that the deal would not take place. In a way, one couldn't well blame them for the attitude, if they had been under the New Haven's management so long that the Pullman Company appeared an interloper.

He, however, like many more of these old New Haven men, found the Pullman Company a much better employer to work for than had been expected. His name will not be mentioned here, but there is one of these old New Haven porters, who has been running as buffet porter on the New Haven for the past thirty years. In his opinion the difference between his former employer and his present one is considerable. He makes this observation on the subject: "The Pullman Company gives me two uniforms a year. New Haven gave me none. Those I wore I bought. In addition to paying me more wages as club car porter, the company gives me a percentage on every dollar's worth of business I do. They all may say is not exactly what the writer is trying to say about the Pullman Company for mine." That phase of the Pullman service relates directly to money, which is not exactly what the writer is trying to say about the Pullman Company. What he is really endeavoring to portray is a side of this corporation of which few persons, who are not employees, are aware, and to hear out the assertion made in the beginning of this article that few corporations are as lenient to its employees as is this corporation. While speaking of lenency, another incident concerned with the passing of the New Haven Railroad's sleeping and parlor car service into Pullman management comes to mind. In fact, it might be called an act of forgiveness on the part of the management. When this service was taken over, the porter personnel was composed of many men who had been discharged from the Pullman service. These were frightfully afraid that the company was going to recall their oldgressions. For several months after the Pullman management had acquired the New Haven service, these former Pullman porters had the appearance of men that were being hunted. But their fears were needless. Apparently, the Pullman management took the attitude, "It's alright with us so long as you behave yourselves." Not one of them was discharged because of his previous record in the company's employ. Another phase of the Pullman service in dealing with its employees is the disposition on the part of its managing officials to give every consideration to the employee who has a family. If one really wanted to learn to what extent these officials go in overlooking the situations of employees who are family men, get in touch with the superintendent of any Pullman district. If he is disposed to, he will you youngseems things that will prove beyond doubt that as an "class boss," the Pullman Company goes to the head of the class. And what he tells you will not be for the purpose of propaganda either. Perhaps it is for this reason, more than any other, that the veteran Pullman employee resents the maligning of his employer. He knows its faults and failings, but he also knows its good points Pullman Porters' Club Holds Election The annual election of officers of the Pullman Social Club for 1929 has been held, with the follow W. H. Bowe, president; E. Bennett, vice-principal vice president; C. H Gardiner, treasurer; C. secretary, and Cecil Morgan, recording secretary.

OUT OF TOWN CORRES The annual election of officers of the Pullman Porters Athletic and Social Club for 1929 has been held, with the following executive roster: W H. Bowe, president; E. Bennett, vice-president, R N Ashe, 2nd vice president; C H. Gardiner, treasurer; C H.
