CONGRESSMAN PRITCHARD OF NORTH CAROLINA, REPUBLICAN REFUSES OFFICE NEXT NEGRO
Wires Secretary In Washington To Vacate Office and Take Name Off Door of Office Next To Cong. DePriest-LaGuardia Asks That Longworth Put New Congressman In Office Next To Him
Washington, D. C.—When notified that the office assigned him would be next one occupied by Congressman DePriest of Chicago, Congressman George M. Pritchard, Republican, of the 10th North Carolina District, wired from Ashville, N. C., his home, to his secretary here as follows:
"Office room No. 132 is unsatisfactory. Vacate immediately. Lock door and deliver key to Superintendent of House Office Building. Remove my name from door. We will secure offices when I arrive."
When questioned in Ashville as to the reason for his action, Pritchard said that for him to accept an office adjoining that occupied by DePriest would be a humiliation his constituents in the mountains of Western North Carolina would not appreciate.
Pritchard is a son of the late Jeter C. Pritchard, who was a United States Senator and Judge of the United States Court for the Western District of North Carolina. He was elected to succeed Zebullin Weaver, a Democrat, and comes from a group of western counties where race hostility is rather strong. One or two counties in his district have tried at times to bar Negro laborors.
DePriest was assigned room No. 130 by Supt Clarkson of the House Office Building, because that was the only one vacant. Congressman Melvin J. Maas from Missouri is on the other side and he has made no complaint.
CONGRESSMAN LAGUARDIA WANTS DEPRIEST NEAR HIM.
Immediately upon learning of the action taken by Congressman Pritchard of North Carolina, refusing to occupy an office next Congressman DePriest because of the latter's color, Congressman Fiorella H. LaGuarda of the 20th New York District sent a telegram to Speaker Longworth suggesting that the Negro Congressman be placed in an office next to that now occupied by LaGuarda.
Congressman LaGuarda's telegram was as follows:
"Hon. Nicholas Longworth,
"Speaker, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C.
"Have noticed in press agitation among some members against allotment office to our colleague, the gentleman from Illinois, Mr. DePriest. I will be glad to have him next to my office. It is manifestly unfair to embarrass a new member and believe it is our duty to assist new members rather than humiliate them—F. H. LaGUARDIA, M. C."

WOMEN WORK FOR CHAPEL AT WEST VIRGINIA PRISON To Provide For Spiritual Ministration For Women At Alderson
The only Federal Prison for women convicted of violation of federal laws is located at Alderson, W Va, and it has been in operation just two years. Although buildings are provided for various purposes, and activities, the government does not provide a chapel in which religious services can be held. Such provision must be made through gifts from private sources, and to a group of interested women has organized a "Chapel Fund" movement through which they hope to secure the erection of such a building. Fund headquarters are at 2 West 45th street, suite 1508. Dr. Katherine Bement Davis of New York City, former general secretary Bureau of Social Hygiene as chairman of the committee of endorsement, and has sent The Age the following statement concerning the effort in behalf of the Alderson institution
A Chapel For Alderson.
What is Alderson? and why a few new women outside the government of prison conditions that until April, 1927, the federal Government had no institution any kind in which to care women convicted of violation federal laws. These women were boarded out, often in third rate county jail and re-entitle or no training that help them when they went into the world. Using his services as Attorney general of the United States, Mr. George W. Wickersham, about a half a century ago, appointed Loren Foster as inspector of the caring for Federal
women prisoners. Soon convinced of a disgraceful situation, she began an agitation for a suitable Federal institution. In spite of her efforts nothing tangible was accomplished, but interest was aroused.
Women Begin Effort.
"Then came the world war. Storbly after its close an energetic group of women active in the General Federation of Women's Clubs and the W. C T. U began a systematic effort to secure the backing of all the women's large organizations to secure action by Congress to remedy what had become more than ever a disgraceful situation.
"These women were unflagging in the effort. Their real brought supporters, both men and women, and in June, 1924, their activities were crowned with success when Congress passed an act establishing the Federal Industrial Institution for Women, and in the following March voted the first appropriation for construction. The site chosen was at Alderson, West Virginia, a location ideally beautiful, among the mountains which help make White Sulphur Springs, only twenty-five miles away. An ideal resort.
"The Department of Justice was wise in at once appointing a superintendent; a woman experienced in prison management, who worked with the departmental architect in laying out the grounds and planning the buildings. Experts from all over the country were called in consultation. As a result, the Federal Government has today the most perfect institution of its kind in the world.
Onépad April. 1927.
"It is built on a plan which houses the inmates in small groups. It has a receiving building in which all the women upon arrival are carefully studied and classified according to their needs. Other buildings are the Hospital Administration Building, School House, Industrial Building, and smaller structures. Plans for education, training for outside industries, agriculture all these have been carefully looked after. "The first inmates were received in April, 1927. The institution was planned to care for five hundred It has snow passed the three hundred mark. (continued on Seventh Page)

In describing his selections for Knights of the Round Table King Arthur said:
"I made them lay their hands in mine and swear
"To reverence their king as if he were their conscience,
"And their conscience as their king;
"To love one maiden only, cleave to her,
"And worship her by years of noble deeds."
And if America demanded a similar pledge of its noble citizens today, it is certain that Alderman Fred R. Moore could sign it without flinching.

Moore. The celebration was under auspices of a citizens' committee and was attended by most of the city officials and many persons of prominence of both races.
Mayor James J. Walker came early and stayed throughout the program. The next highest city official, Joseph V. McKee, President of the Board of Alderman was also present, Police Commissioner Grover Whalen came in before the festivities were over, although he had sent a telegram stating that he did not think he would be able to come because of a previous engagement. Then there were the two highest ranking police officials Chief Inspector John J. O'Brien and Deputy Chief Inspector Edward P. Mulrooney, who were present throughout the evening. Samuel S. Koenig, head of the Republican party in New York County, was also on hand, as were many of the district leaders, and the Republican associates of Alderman Moore in the Board of Alderman.

SPLENDID MUSIC
A FEATURE OF
DINNER TO MOORES
Mrs. Murray, Noble Sissle and Monarch Band
Furnish Program
By LUCIEN H. WHITE.
One of the most enjoyable and interesting features of the celebration tendered Alderman and Mrs. Fred R. Moore on the occasion of their golden wedding anniversary Tuesday evening, April 9, in the 369th Armory by citizens of New York City to the number of more than a thousand, was the musical program.
Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray, mezza soprano, saxon twice, on each occasion thrilling and enchanting the host of listeners by the beauty and glory of her superb voice and charming them by the graciousness of her personality. Just following the repeating of the marriage ceremony, led by Dr. J. W. Brown of Mother Zion Church, assisted by the Revs. William P. Hayes, John Wesley Johnson, A. Clayton Powell and George H. Sims, Mrs. Murray sang the German lieder, "Es heie dieb" ("I love thee") by Grieg, with Miss Franke A. Dixon giving splendid support as accompanist.
Then during the course of the speaking by various distinguished citizens, Mrs. Murray sang again, rendering Del Riego's charming song, "Thank God for a garden," both numbers being peculiarly appropriate to the occasion. Mrs. Murray was accorded an ovation by the audience, with Mayor James J. Walker, Aldermanic President Joseph V. McKee, Police Commissioner Grover A. Whalen and other prominent city officials joining in most enthusiastically.
Later in the evening, Noble Sissle, just returned from Europe where he won tremendous acclaim both in England and on the Continent as an artist, rushed over from the Keith-Abbey Blst Street Theatre, where he is a headliner this week, and electrified the audience with two of the songs he has made famous, "Joan of Arc" and "Dream of the Big Parade," the first by special request of the guest of honor, Alderman Moore, and the other by special request of Mayor Walker. The accompanist for these numbers was C Luckeythy Roberts, whose amusement losing clientele includes most of the wealthiest and most prominent society folk of New York and Palm Beach.
At the beginning of the assembling of the guests, the Monarch 45 Symphonic Band, Lieut Fred W Simpson, director, to the number of about sixty musicians, played a program of music specially selected for the occasion by Lieut. Simpson. The high light of the band's program was the playing of the "Bridal Chorus" from Wagner's "Lohengrin" as the bridal part, escorted by the Moore ensemble of sons, daughters, in-laws and grand children, entered and took their places for the reenacting of the wedding ceremony
This delightful service on part of the band was a voluntary expression of appreciation for the service rendered the organization by Mr. Moore, who has been most active in support of the band's effort to supply the people of Harlem with free concerts, indoors on Sundays during the winter, and out-doors in St Nicholas Park during week nights in summer. It was a splendid tribute from a splendid organization. Another, and an unexpected treat, just before Mayor Walker was introduced to speak Bill "Bojangles" Robinson who had also rushed uptown after his nightly performance in Lew Leibl "Blackbirds" was escorted to the floor, where, with Luckeys Roberts at the piano, he gave an unusually fine exhibition. His famous tan dancing ending with a simulation of real-time ice skating which carried him up the centre aisle, between tables, direct to front of the guest of honor and the Mayor, who gave him enthusiastic hand shakes.
BIG INSURANCE MERGER OF NEGRO COMPANIES MEETING STOCKHOLDERS' OPPOSITION Director Disputes That Merger Was Unanimously Approved, But Pres Pace Shows That Such a Vote Was Taken February 20, Although On March 20, The Merger Was Only Adopted By 13-11
The story concerning the merger of three big Negro insurance companies was told exclusively by The New York Age in its issue of February 9 in practically all of its details, even to the naming of Harry H. Pace of the Northeastern as the prospective president.
This proved to be one of the biggest scoops ever put over by a Negro newspaper, as not another paper in the country carried the story until a full week after it had appeared in The Age.
Stockholders of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company, Newark, N. J., will assemble at the home office of the company on Saturday afternoon, April 20, for the purpose of voting upon the ratification and confirmation of the terms and conditions agreed upon by the Board of Directors, for the consolidation of the company with the Supreme Life and Casualty Company of Columbus, Ohio, and the Liberty Life Insurance Company of Chicago, Ill.
The name of the new company, after the consolidation is affected, will be the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company.
That there will be stiff opposition to the merger, in indicated by Eileenworth Merger of Wilmington, N.J., a member of the board of directors, stockholder and policy holder, who has sent out a warning to the stockholders against the proposed merger
Objects To Merger
Mr Mercer's objections, and there are others of the same opinion, lie in the fact that should this merger be carried into effect, the Northeastern Life Insurance Company will immediately and completely lose its identity as such; that the headquarters will be removed from Newark, N. J., the present home office, to Chicago, Ill., thus defeating one of the prime objects of the organizing of the Northeastern, namely the development of a strong Negro insurance company in the East. In his warning, addressed to the stockholders, Mr. Mercer says: "Presuming that you are in receipt of a printed circular, under date of March 1922, purporting to be an authentic account of two meetings of the Board of Directors of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company, held on February 15 and March 20, respectively, this article appears for the purpose of giving out the following information concerning the proposed merger of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company with the Supreme Life and Casualty Company of Columbus, Ohio, and the Liberty Life Insurance Company of Chicago, Ill.
Calls Statement Untrue
"The statement contained in the Circular of March 20th, to the effect that the "Board unanimously approved the proposal of a merger with the companies above mentioned is absolutely untrue. The Board of Directors DID NOT unanimously approve of the said proposal
"Since the Board of Directors of the Northeastern DID NOT unanimously approve the proposed merger, you will have an opportunity to defeat this measure by your vote, at a call meeting of the stockholders on Saturday, April 20th. It is our duty to defeat this merger. In no other way can we justify the confidence of our many policyholders, who are defending upon us to see that the Northeastern Life Insurance Company lives up to the promises of its promoters in the establishment and maintenance of a strong Negro Insurance Company IN THE EAST
In reciting the statements made by Mr. Mercer Harry H. Pace, president of the Northeastern, said
"On February 15 a unanimous vote by a standing vote was taken Mercer was present and stood up voting for it. On March 20th, the vote was by majority."
The notice which Mr Mercer objected to reads as follows:
"To the stockholders:----
"Notice is hereby given that a Special Meeting of the Stockholders of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company will be held at the Home Office of the Company, on the second floor, Northeastern Building, 311 Bank Street, Corner Norfolk, in the City of Newark, N. J., on Saturday, April 20th, 1920

NEW YORK CITIZENRY PAYS HIGH HONOR TO MR. and MRS. MOORE IN CELEBRATION OF GOLDEN WEDDING
that the Mayor was programmed
s the first speaker. The program
was changed at the Mayor's request
s the Mayor said he wanted to
tay for the entire program.
Mayor Walker said that Alderman Moore's magnetic personality and so charmed him it took him almost a year to find out that he was a Republican and not a member of the same party as the Mayor. The Mayor then went on to speak of New York as the most tolerant city in the world. He said that the Metropolis does not ask man who he is, or where he is from but what he can do and where he is going. He paid a glowing tribute to Alderman and Mrs. doore as the highest types of Neworkers and wished them many years of happy married life. After retings had been brought in behalf of the medical fraternity in Harlem by Dr. P. M. H. Savory and on behalf of the legal fraternity by Attorney Francis E. Rivers, the toastmaster then introduced Matt Terry, treasurer of the General Committee.
Presented $1,000 Purse.
Mr Terry, on behalf of the Committee, presented Alderman and Mrs. Moore with $1,000, half of which was given in gold by a group of Cuban friends of which L. S. Gonzales and Henry Miro, were leads Mr. Terry; also announced that the bills of the Committee had been paid to date and that there would be an additional presentation made later from the surplus.
Other guts received by the guests
at honor included: a gold tea serv-
by Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Smalls,
a purse of $50 in gold by Mr. and
Mrs. Adolph Hodge; $10 in gold
from Mrs. Anna M. Mélone-of; St.
Louis. Mo; Mr. and Mrs. A. H.
Hones; $10 gold piece; $10 in gold
from Mr. and Mrs. Albert S. Reed;
$5 gold piece by E. C. Younger;
$250 gold piece from A. L. Askew,
a diamond studded Elk-pin by a
group of friends of Monarch-Lodge
No. 45. I B. P. O. E. of W.; flowers
from Miss Elise Kearmann,
principal of P. S. 136, and by Col.
and Mrs. Chas. W. Fillmore.
After fitting response by Alderman Moore, the benediction was
pronounced by the Rev Shelton
Hale Bishop of St Phillip's P. E.

TWENTY YEARS AFTER. Announcement was made last week, that the Bronx Chamber of Commerce, an organization of white business men engaged in commercial enterprises in that rapidly growing borough of New York, north of the Harlem River, would present a silver loving cup to Matthew A. Henson, to commemorate his service, with Admiral Peary, in the discovery of the North Pole. While this recognition might seem a trifle belated in view of the fact that some twenty years have elapsed since the memorable trip which resulted in Admiral Peary's claim to discovery, it is nonetheless gratifying to find such a spirit of recognition in the Bronx.

Despite the acceptance of the Admiral's claim to having reached the goal of all Arctic explorers, involving the rejection of the previous claims made by Dr. Cook, and the recognition of Henson as the only American who had stood with Peary on the spot, nothing substantial was done to recognize Henson's contribution to the success of the final drive toward the Pole. Before Peary died, after having been raised to the rank of Admiral, he recorded in his history of the expedition the fact that Henson was the pioneer in the advance toward the ultimate goal, saying, in one place, "Henson was the best man I had with me."
SALE OF FEDERAL PATRONAGE. The Brookhart Committee which is still investigating the sale of Federakfices in the South, claims to have proof of such transactions in Mississippi, Ala-ama, Arkansas and Tennessee. Last week Senator Brookhart read into the record letters and affidavits showing the sale of postoffices and other Federal jobs in the states named. This is in addition to the charges previously preferred, showing similar cases in South Carolina, Georgia and Texas. In Texas the committee seemed to have caught a Tartar in the person of R. B. Freager, Republican National Committeeman, who was full of defiance, and who was described by Senator Brookhart as "insolent."
This opinion of Peary was confirmed by Captain Bartlett, another member of the expedition, who followed Henson with another pioneer party. The fact that Peary himself chose Henson to make the final dash for the Pole, is significant as to the ability of the latter to make his way through the barren wastes of the frozen North and to manage the Esquimosa who went with them. The National Geographic Magazine, in an account of the expedition gave further testimony as to the value of Henson's services as a pioneer. The fact remains indisputable, that if Peary's claim to discovery of the North Pole is to be credited, as was determined by the official act of Congress in retiring him with the rank of Admiral, Henson is now the only surviving American who actually reached the Pole.
Creager is reported to stand high with the new administration, despite its announced determination to stamp out the abuses prevailing in the apportionment of Federal patronage in the South. The attitude of Senator Brookhart in extending his investigations beyond the two colored National Committeemen in Georgia and Mississippi, and going after the white Republicans in South Carolina, Texas and other Southern states, would seem to show that he has not allowed the color of the accused to stifle his efforts to get at the facts. In fact, the two colored committeemen, Benjamin Davas and Perry Howard, have so far defeated any effort to convict them of the charges
In view of this fact, it is hard to determine why Congress has failed to award him a medal recognizing his services to Arctic research, as was proposed by a resolution introduced by Congressman Celler of Brooklyn over a year ago. If the Bronx Chamber of Commerce, after twenty years, can afford to make public recognition of Henson's services to Arctic exploration, it would seem as if the American Congress, with its greater facilities for investigation and reward, should take some appropriate action in the matter. Peary is dead, but official honors were his before he passed away. Henson is still with us, but twenty years have passed without fitting official recognition of the part he played in the discovery of the North Pole.
While the Senate Committee seems to have enlarged its field of investigation so as to include all those who have made a traffic of public office, the administration appears to have utilized the charges as a means of getting rid of such leaders as Davis and Howard. Creager in Texas still maintains his position as a dictator of appointments, notwithstanding the charges made against him, while no proceedings have been taken against Tolbert in South Carolina or indeed any of the white leaders, except Congressman Wurzbach of Texas, who was indicted, it is said at the instance of Creager, and the indictment later dismissed.
There is no doubt that the Republican party in the South stands in need of reorganization, but it is a question if that will avail anything if color is to prevail as a disqualification for membership. The practice of requiring officeholders to pay for their jobs has evidently been of long standing and was practically winked at by the powers that be. It was tacitly assented to by the Republican organization, and was aided and abetted by Democrats as well as Republicans. It is well enough to put an end to the practice as vicious politics, but there is no need to expend much virtuous indignation over a situation for which the Republican leaders themselves are directly responsible. They connived at the maintenance of the rotten borough system in the South and rottenness became prevalent in every detail of that system. If a better system can be substituted without the sacrifice of the vital principles of Republicanism, it should be done at once.
LEGISLATION AND HOUSING.
The passage by the New York Legislature of the Multiple Housing bill, which awaits approval by the Governor, should result in some improvement of tenement house conditions in New York City. While this bill was not all that its promoters had hoped for, it aroused considerable opposition among owners of tenement property, especially of the old law type. Under the new bill it is expected that the owners of this class of tenements will be compelled to place them in sanitary condition and to make such changes as will lessen the fire risk. These improvements, in the interest of better health and safety from fire, are not too much to be required of owners of New York tenements, in view of the rents that are exacted from the tenants.
Another bill introduced for the benefit of tenants, extending the rent laws for another period of years, so as to prevent landlords from increasing the rents paid by present tenants, failed of passage. The legislators seemed to feel that the emergency of inadequate housing facilities had passed and that the supply of new housing was such, that the rents charged would be regulated by the demand, as in the case of other necessities. This removal of any curb on excessive rentals was immediately taken as an excuse by a few greedy landlords for jacking up their rents from forty-five to ninety dollars for five-room apartments, which were sadly in need of repairs. The idea was to force out the old tenants, who have been holding on under the emergency rent law at the old rates. When they go out, the apartments will be renovated and rented at a higher rate, if possible, and usually some one can be found to pay that rate.
Whether a two-party movement can be introduced in the South is a debatable question. With four of these states casting their votes for a Republican candidate it would appear feasible. But, it maybe contended that these votes were not cast so much for a Republican, as against an unacceptable candidate on a Democratic ticket, and that the voters still remain Democrats. Evidently, the Hoover administration is going to test this question by making a new deal in the distribution of Federal patronage in the South.
In the meantime the Brookhart Committee lends fair to put an end to all existing Republican organizations in that section, if it keeps accumulating testimony as to the practice of passing out offices for cash in advance. One Tennessee postmaster testified that he not only paid two hundred dollars cash, but two hogs as well. Upon which a New York columnist complained that he failed to give the names of the hogs. Like some other concerned in these shady transactions the hogr discreetly remained nameless.
What is needed in Harlem to curb the disposition to charge high rentals for apartments that are not always kept in sanitary conditions or free from fire risks, or the construction of new model ten
ments, to meet the needs of present tenants. In order to construct tenements of this desCRIPTION, where apartments can be rented at moderate rates, cheap ground is necessary on which to build. It was recently announced that a start would be made in the line of furnishing model tenements of this sort on the lower east side, where lack of land at suitable prices had delayed operations under the State Housing Act. Since the beginning has been found practicable in this most congested section, it hoped that relief will soon be afforded Harlem, which is almost equally congested and sadly in need of model tenements.
With better sanitary conditions obtainable under the new Multiple Dwellings act and possible model tenements coming under the State Housing act, there is ground for hope that better living conditions may be secured for Harlem before long.

In another part of this paper we publish an appeal especially directed to the women of the race, asking them to help in raising a fund to provide a chapel for the Federal Industrial Institute for Women, located at Alderson, West Virginia. This institution was recently established by the Federal government to provide suitable accommodation for women held in confinement under the process of Federal law. Previous to its opening, these women were housed in county jails where their surroundings were often damaging to health and morals. The establishment of a proper place for their detention is therefore a needed move toward prison reform.
To make this reform more effective, there is need for religious instruction and a fitting place for religious worship. The reasons advanced for the building of a chapel are sound and grounded on a thorough knowledge of human nature. Besides the material needs of the inmates of such an institution, there are the needs of the mind and the spirit to be supplied. The ameliorating effect of religious devotion and instruction in some, religious faith is not to be disregarded in the attempt to reform and reconstruct the relations of the inmates to society at large. The fact that the women committed to such an institution include a number of those of the Negro race is an additional reason why such a movement should command sympathy and support.
As is stated in the appeal, contributions to the chapel fund, in the sum of one dollar or more, can be sent to the editor of The Age, or to any member of the committee. Let us help to make easier the lot of those women who have fallen into the hands of the law, not always from criminal intent, but often through ignorance and carelessness, so that after they have paid the penalty exacted by a stern but just government, they may be restored to society, chastened and improved by their involuntary confinement
OBSERVANCE OF EASTER

A notable sign of religious progress is the widespread observance of the Easter festival in the city churches of late years. Twenty years ago the celebration of Easter by special church services and elaborate musical programs was almost entirely confined to the Catholic and Episcopalian churches, but today all denominations seem to take part in the festival that commemorates the Resurrection morn.
Looking over the account of the Easter services as they appeared in a recent issue, we find that all the city churches were reported crowded and special music was a feature. St. James Presbyterian church presented a unique feature in the rendition of numbers by a harpist, Miss Flournoy Miller, while Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray was the guest soloist. At Abyssinian Baptist Church the choir rendered an Easter cantata, "Cross and Crown." by Ashford, under direction of John H. Page, choirmaster
Grace Congregational Church (our also sang a cantata, "The Resurrection," under the direction of Miss Olive Jeter, with Hugo Born at the organ. The guest soloist was Mrs. Bessie Waddell Carney of Brooklyn. All denominations vied with one another in the colorfulness of their music and the size of their congregations Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Congregational, all took part in celebrating the feast of the Resurrection with praise and song.
Despite differences of creed and ceremony, the churches seem to be growing nearer together in the observance of the eventful facts in the life of their Founder. This may presage a coming together in the essential beliefs of Christianity, which may bring about a closer cooperation in the practical side of applied Christianity.

Things are happening in Georgia.
Those who doubt that there is progress in education and inter-racial goodwill and cooperation have only to spend a few hours with their eyes open to see the progress Georgia is moving forward rapidly. They will also see that one of the big factors in this great progressive movement is the Julius Rosenwald influence. Men are coming to know Mr. Rosenwald and appreciate his influence who never knew that there was such a man.
At Lochbayville, former capital of the State, where there still stands the old bell in the center of the town and the stage from which Negroes were bought and sold a little over 60 years ago. I found a new Rosenwald five-teacher school, freshly painted, and thirty members of the Kiwis Club being entertained at lunch by the colored Parent-Teachers Association of that community. There were present at this meeting the City Judge the County Superintendent of Edinburgh the Commissar of the State Highway Department, the Clerk of the Superior Court, the Solicitor of the City Court, the Mayor of the city, and twenty-five other prominent business men of the city.
These men sat and enjoyed the meal, listened to the students sing, and then from R. M. Little, the superintendent of the County School, heard the story of how this building, costing $4,000, was made possible—$1,000 came from the Julius Rosenthal Fund, $700 from the colored $1,000 from the county Boys' Education, $1,300 from the county Boys' Education. Many of the men expressed themselves as highly pleased with this successful Negro county training school.
Here was a Jeannes teacher telling about her work, as Jeannes supervisor, in the person of Mrs. L. E.McAden, and the work of the other teachers in the school, R. W. Hegg, principal. Misses Bertha Lewis, Louisa Oliphant and Pearl David, and Mrs Ebbett Davis of the P. T. Little, County Superintendent of Education, spoke of the great progress being made in education, then called attention to my presence, and asked me to make a statement
After I had emphasized the fact that Georgia could not make progress as it should unless the people were educated and unless there was mutual cooperation and goodwill between the races John R Phillips expressed himself as being in charge with these sentiments and pledged the help of the Kiwanis Club in the movement to build Louisville, a better town for both groups throughout the State. He lauded the earnest efforts of A Pratt Adams, chairman of the board of trustees of the Georgia State College, and expressed the belief that more and more the races would get closer together in every matter of mutual progress. would have been happy to have seen this meeting of white folks and colored folks talking and thinking together about the future of their own home.
At Sparta, in Hancock County there is still another Jolius Rosenwald school that has been standing for several years. I found the community constructing a farm shop and been made possible by Negroes and all sides getting together for Negro progress. It would be a great treat for Jolius Rosenwald to visit one of these schools and communities uncognito and hear the fine expressions being made of good feeling between the races and the evidence of progress all sides Stavanger.
What The Race Needs
Editor of The New York Age
for the New York. See I beg our intelligence in space while I leap a few floughe to concerning aoup, which have been on my mind for some time. We blame the other ace for the many deprivations and disadvantages under which we labor. They may lend assistance to some, but not all by a long time. I try search and see if it is not a fact that much—yes, very much—of which we complain is not traceable to our own short-sighted ignorance and weakness
To be brief, I walked down a certain street the other day where we have lived or do now live in great numbers. Twenty-five years ago our people were doing a prosperous business there. The future outlook was promising and there were stores and shops of many kinds. But, sad to say, there is a change the other races are doing in the thriving business and we are their main places. We many places our people own the buildings, but can't get beyond barber shops or peanut and candy stands. Far from what it was twenty-five years ago
The Jew or Italian is not responsible, but I tell you who are—we ourselves. On my round I chanced to meet one of our race who had charge of three wealthy families' yards, to keep them in good appearance. He began by stating what he thought of President Hoover for trying to build in the South a white Republican party and leaving out the colored man. My reply was that the white man did forty odd years back, and it is odd days back, and it unite his own people as we should and must do. For we count ourselves no longer babes but youths—well nigh grown up, and when we see the business side as the whites do, much of our troubles will be changing to brighter prospects.
Taking care of wealthy men's yards, I reminded him, is where much yes, most of his thoughts, should be cented, and not so much on the President's job. I again reminded him that I had passed several white men who were moking yards where formerly men of his race were once preferred, and though he had this job for 30 or more years, he would lose all tomorrow.
From every, source the reports come that places once, satisfactorily filled by one or more of our group are being given to some others. We have no/cinch on any job at the other fellow's disposal and until we learn well the A. B. C. principles of saving and economy, I fear we will be on the seat of uncertainty, for we are being placed more and more on our own resources for livelihood and there fore can eat all of our cake and have some for the next time. We buy too often when we could easily do without; spend and throw away what others for better off than we are save. I hope this hint will be well considered by him who reads. A word or so concerning our secret orders, as I see the Elke are undergoing investigation and doubtless others are trembling for fear. The societies, or their head ones, from reports, as well as from what I've witnessed, deal it out rather lavishly. The wonder is how they can last long with such, extravagance. It too gives rise to factions, rather than brotherly love, and breeds doubt, mistrust, suspicion, a lack of true real confidence and unity, the very things and principles for which they stand.
How can they afford to pay their head man as much or more than the state pays its chief executive and other high officials, and squander as much as it is paid the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court? Yes, how can they afford to do it and hope for long life? In cities where annual meetings are held, they often pay the city: hundreds of dollars to close business streets an hour or so to be seen in our best. And then we blame the whites for our condition. Think it over, readers. We are savage. If these parades were to advertise some product of our making or something with businesslife there might be some excuse for paying to have streets closed. And again who foots the bills for such non sense—the poor hard laborer
Now I've just briefed, so to speak a few facts which should be held before our people who should be well drilled in the hat, the observation of their hard-earned money with a view for future bettement

Georgia Boy At Wheel Of Missouri Corporation
BY JESSE O. THOMAS.
The People's Finance Corporation
o St. Louis, Mo., locally referred
to as the "Financial Heart" of 100,
000 People, was organized by that
untiring physical giant and organizing
genius, George W. Buckner
some five or six years ago. Back
in 1922 a group of colored men met
at a luncheon for the purpose
considering means of improving
general economic and financial
ditions of the colored people of that
community. The need and practicability
of an industrial loan bank
rather than a commercial bank was
disclosed. Many conferences were
held with the original group enlarging
itself until the above named corporation,
as a type of collective financ-
ing, was agreed upon.
Mr. Buckner was the pivot around
which the idea rotated "Some two
hundred shares of stock were issued
at $25 a share.
The money were wisely and judiciously invested and handled so that the company paid ten per cent dividends based on its earnings the first year, and the second year fifteen per cent dividends. In 1926 the corporation moved out of its rented quarters into its new home on Jefferson street, which it erected at a cost of $400,000. It is one of the most modernly constructed buildings in America, owned and controlled by colored people. The building and equipment represent an outlay of approximately one-half million dollars. The building contains basement which is used for legal representation pursuant to the first floor in the bank for the People's Finance Corporation business seven stores and a large restaurant. The second and third floors given over to offices, ninety-three in number, all of which are occupied by physicians, lawyers, insurance companies and other business enterprises. On the fifth floor may he found an auditorium with a seating capacity of eight hundred and a roof garden
In 1927, Mr. Buckner fell victim of influenza. His humility and unexpected death threatened the organization with fear and uncertainty. "Who could carry on with Buckner fashion and enthusiasm" was the question the Board of Directors was called upon to answer All three turned toward Arnett G. Lindsay, who had been Mr. Buckner's right bower Mr. Lindsay was unanimously elected to success Mr. Buckner as vice-president and man of the board. He was appointed Georgia minister, a product of Morris Brown and Howard Universities, and had his first experience with the Pine Street branch of the Y M C A. of St. Louis.
The resources of this growing institution as of December 31, 1928 were $537.38. Some of the leading physicians, lawyers and business men make up the board of directors. There has been no lull in the affairs of the corporation under the managerial direction of Mr. Lindsay On the contrary, in some instances it has picked up speed. It seems to meet every financial need of the Negro in that city through its industrial loans, real estate loan, saving service, Xmas savings service, safe deposit vault service and investments departments. There are three things about this building that one will not forget if he ever visits it. Fire is one of the best restaurants in America on the ground floor with the best cooked food, the quickest and most cheerful and painstaking service on the part of the people in charge that can be found anywhere. Second, the building is kept absolutely clean and is free from traditional racial ear marks.
Third, everybody is courteous and anxious to secure and keep the good business going. In social interviews, with the manager continues, say that the business is
Discussing the complexities attending foreign diplomats' liquor and the Jones law, the Gary Commonwealth said that before the Civil War, the British Embassy was sometimes in retreat for fugitive slaves, a fact not recorded in history. It added:
Now the tables are turned, and the United States is leading the great enlargement with the prohibition of intoxicants. Yet, by virtue of their extraterritoriality, diplomats in Washington are entitled to all the liquor they choose to import. A number of irate Senators and Representatives are demanding the abolition of embassy liquor in a heavy mood of righteousness—they have even gone so far as to make no exception in the Jones law with regard to the transportation of liquor from Baltimore to embassies and legations. It is this neglect that is at the bottom of the mischief! For the benefit of the miserable legislators, it be said that the international law prescribing the integrity and Ambasadors were set up before the Founding Fathers ever thought of a Constitution for the United States. Those rules have been unquestioned ever since. They are not apt-to be shaken by the mouthings of a few Congressmen for the benefit of miscellaneous fanatical constituents.
Suppose that we concentrate on those elements in our own population which are negligent in supporting the dry law, such as Congressmen, Judges, preachers and high school pupils, and leave until the last erring Ambassadors who have not as yet come to understand the vast moral purpose underlying the McBride philosophy.
Evidently the Indiana editor not an ardent dry advocate
Ralph Matthews, who writes a column in the Washington Trussville headed "A Diplomat in the Capital," discourses upon the advent of Spring in the following strain.
In fact, spring to me instead of a time for rejoicing is a time for deep and serious meditation. The first long and moderately warm days always force me to that most momentous of annual problems: whether to doff my winter flannels and catch pneumonia or leave them oil and suffocate? I am always hard put to determine whether my old winter coat will pull through another season or whether I will be subjected to a summer of worry and sacrifice trying to accumulate enough to purchase another.
I always wonder whether I have taken on poindage that will force me to discard my last year's haberdashery or whether the moths have already devoured it during the winter months. I enter my closet with fear and quaking. Worse of all, spring gives me spring fever. I find myself forced to work and think when the going force of winter's chills is dead. I find it so much easier to hang over a fence and watch a bunch of kids play baseball than to stick at my desk and grind. I find it decidedly more interesting to watch a bunch of play urehins shoot marbles or play mum-pegs to write messages. I find more to my liking to sit on a park bench and watch people go by than plunk at a typewriter in a dimly-lit room. In short, in the spring you get a bigger kick out of doing nothing in particular than you do in the winter
Did you ever go home in the afternoon determined to tackle the back yard, clean out all the rubbish, rake off the grass, and make the new flower bed, and dig out your tools only to paddle around and accomplish nothing until dark? Well, that is spring time.
Did you ever yank the old bus back in the alley, tear it half to pieces, and thaw it down on the running board and shine the hub cap until your wife called you an to sunset? Well, that is spring.
Spring you will find, is the most decorative season of the year.
As a diplomat Mr. Matthews would appear to rank high as a writer of "true stories."
The Baltimore Herald and Commonwealth paid its respects to a delegate from Baltimore who stated his belief in white supremacy "so plainly and unarmedly" in the Maryland General Assembly It said.
Delegate Ford introduced and urged a bill to redistrict certain districts in Baltimore including the Fourth district so as to destroy the Republican majority in that district by gerrymandering Negro wards and safe as long as the "Georgia' Boy" is at the steering wheel

presidents out of the Fourth district and other heavy Democratic districts thus accusing a Democratic majority in the Fourth and removing the possibility of the election or Negroes either as members of the Baltimore City Council or the General Assembly. Ford is a gentleman of large assurance, and unbounded faith in the appeal to racial prejudice in Maryland politics. He was blunt, brutal and bold in appealing directly and openly to the lowest passions of his own race for the passage of a measure when he believed would bar one hundred twenty thousand Negroes in Baltimore from representation in the City Council, and two thousand in the State of Maryland from representation in the General Assembly of the State by one of their own number.
Legislators of the Food type are not confined to Maryland, though not so blatant in their speeches All reapportionment measures before state legislatures will bear watching.
In his address delivered at the commencement exercises of Liberia College at Monrovia last December, the Hon. William T. Francis, American minister and consul general, exhorted the students to industrial pursuits in the following words:
If you cannot be the lighthouse on Monsterdo Hill, you can be a tallow candle in life's great pathway. Day has its sun, and might the stars, but God loves candlejig too. And upon the world's great candlestick he sets the little paper of yourself ashine. And when the sun is down and the stars are hid, your little candle may flame and burn. Liberia have her architects to design and perpetuate the best of your homes, building church schools, Cabinet-make there must be to fashion your art furniture and furnishings. Sturdy carpenters must build the walls, the floors, the roofs, above and beneath which all can rest secure, painters—not alone must there be the Raeffels and Michael Angelos but necessary mixers and appliers of clean sanitary coloring in all its fantastic forms and colors, after the manner which has placed the vocation of interior decorating in the high place among industrial arts it now occupies; and the development of competent stone-masons, plasterers, bricklayers, Capable builders be for the modern mansions that will in time adorn and beautify the palm-lined boulevard which will some day connect Monrovia with the giant Rubber Plantation at the "Du."
God made the trees. man must construct the houses. He supplies the timber. man must build the ships. God hurried the iron. the gold-yea. the diamond—in the bowels of Africa. Man must dig, and smelt and cut and polish them for his use.
Following the address the speaker received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. while the address was ordered printed and copies kept in the Public Library and college.
Declaring that the women of that community have more courage than the men the Cleveland Gazette pointed to a case in point as follows.
Mrs Emma H Ramsey and Mrs Eva Ison are two women our people of this community should feel proud of. The fight they are putting up for justice for those of our people who take civil service examinations in this community and are not treated right, is splendid, is fine and ought to put to shame our so-called male leaders in this community, particularly our Governor George George and Brosnan the three "Musketers." None of them were in attendance upon the City Council investigating community meeting last week, to help Melamedes Ramsey and Ison, just that fine? Just think of it, the three men of all of our male residents of the community who ought to have been at this meeting battling for the two lone women who are not fighting for themselves for our community, not denied, not one of them nut in appearance. Herems has the secret of our failure to make the progress in Cleveland we should when it comes to our rights in public institutions, the public service in public places and elsewhere.
The Gazette admitted that U.S. Service Commissioner Harriet L. Davis said something in behalf of the protest, but pronounced it near enough. What kept Harriet C. Smith out of the race.
The editor of the State of Zion, the official organ of the American Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, confessed that he was often embarrassed because of the emissions of the reporters of the annual news conferences. He said
Many who "cover" the conferences seldom tell what the conferences so. Interested are they in making friends for good that personal compliments and allusions to great deal of space.
They tell us about the great bishop, the "second Leman Ward or Henry Ward Brecher, the greatest presiding elder in Zion the greatest speech. "Ascension in the pulpit by this son of the elder the most wonderful clergy powers on their knees and lovely Sister Hannah the culinary cook of the lace he hastily tells us of the all doings of the conference. They do not tell us what preachers are stationed who have been transferred, who have been ceived from other denominations who have been superannuated or dropped, or suspended; etc.
This is something like the society reporter, who waxed so enthusiastic over the beauty of the bride and her elaborate costume, that he forgot to mention the name of the cremum.

Grace Church of Harlem

St. Paul Baptist Church
immediately following. Easter the church entered into its third series evangelistic services, with Rev. Dr. W. Abner Brown, associate pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, informs the message each night. They know how business, and each night came, a great gospel message was delivered by him. Coming, as done from the great Metropolitan church, the members of that church followed him, and were aware of the maximum in number Wednesday night, the church, led by Mrs. Gregory and trained by Mr. David, came around after the church and gave two selec-

man, Mr. Woods, who came in after the seremon, made his way to the front, and there and then made his profession of faith in Christ by making a baptism, which made three candidates. The pastor called attention to the plan of having thirty captains for the coming rally, and asked that enough names be given with what he had to complete the list. The people who were to start matters starts off in real fashion. We are expecting each 'captain to bring in not less than $300 and, of course, some who are leaders of organizations that already will, exist. The present week Dr. W. Abner Brown continues with us, bringing a message each night. The Lord is marvellously blessing St. Paul, and its pastor and members realize that, though only up in Harlem for a short time, the changes have been wonderful.
We have some on the sack list, among them sister Elizabeth Cross, 416 West 60th street, who has been married to a very ill sister. Sister Hudson, one of the younger members, is convalescing in her home, 173 West 131rd street.
Mt. Olivet Baptist Church
On Sunday morning, April 7, the service at Mt Olivet Baptist Church was well attended. The pastor, Rev. W. P. Hayes, used as his subject, "Silent Harps," from 137th Palms, 2nd verse. "We laughed our harps upon the willows in the woods." The Jews had been musical people but in Babylon, they were so persecuted they could not sing the songs of Zion. There are tunes when the harps of pleasure, materialism and conversation should be silenced. We should hear the voice which says, "Be still and know that I am the speaker. He spoke of our love of pleasure and that we should break down our health and shorten our lives; of materialism, which causes us to be forever dissatisfied and judge man by the things he possesses, and of conversation which consists of unjust criticisms, gossips and other grievous or foolish words." He Deleci Adelade, the unfit daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Michael, was prayed for.
A joint meeting of the two Bible classes was held at 1:30 o'clock, taught by Atty. Johnson. The lesson was on current events and interesting guests at the evening services were the A. U. O., S and D; B; and S. of Moses. This was their 41st annual sermon, Miss Lena Lowden was mastress of ceremonies. It was quite an interesting scene as they matched in hearing the Art of Fruit which represented the fruit the spies brought back from the, Promised Land. The pastor spoke on "God's Triple Gift," from 2nd Timothy 1:7. For God hath not given us the spirit of the earth and a sound mind.
He explained fear as being of evil origin, making one timid, powerless and a failure. We fear opposition, ridicule, unjust criticism and insult. He did not begin to utilize his power yet. He spoke of colored people's enterprises. He spoke of how man uses his power selfishly, individuals or nations, imposing their power on the weaker ones. He spoke of balancing the mind, instead of making one a fanatic. The triple gift is power, love and a sound mind. The Silver Leaf Quartet sang three selections, which were greatly enjoyed by all who hired them. W. J. W.

John Wesley Johnson, on the Resurrection, was declared by all present well preached the first pageant entitled "Peter Be Unto You, treating with the Resurrection of Our Lord, presented by the St. Cyprian's Church School, under the direction of Mass Lee, at the 8 o'clock service, was a remarkable success, and played a packed church Sunday April 21. a corporate communion will be held and immediately afterwards a breakfast will be served, at which the newly confirmed members of the church will be the guests of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, and he will be held Sunday evening, April 14, at 8 p.m. All are welcomed. No reservations necessary, come early
Rush Memorial Church
"What happened after Easter," Luke 24 13, was the subject from which F. D. Douglas, pastor, preached last Sunday morning. The sermon dealt largely with the material side, or the physical side of the Resurrection, with the dead happenings, with the dead being the grave were presented. Death by crucifixion was not a rare thing in these days, for that was the way of criminal execution, but that the earth should be affected by this particular crucifixion was the part which was unnatural—or supernatural. After the Resurrection, not known Him before, but they did not know, until He had left them, and a strange feeling had taken place within their hearts, that it was He with whom they had been speaking, and that He had tsen, as He said.
Rev. Douglas is preparing for a great revival morning. Rev. Wiggay is next Sunday morning. A revival choir consisting of fifty voices will form the music. Miss Eva Smith is in charge of this choir.

Paradise Baptist Church
Sunday morning the Rev. H. B. Botts preached a powerful and soul-gripping sermon. In part, his discourse brought out that we should live for the good and welfare of others. We should let our christian spirit attract the unbelievers so that that man will be better and clearer understanding to the need of christian work. Many of us are like a concealed candle's light, we simply live to ourselves and are a mystery to others. Our righteousness is good but not effective. While some of us are like the candle upon the candlestick which gives light to all who come within the reach of its rays. In other words he is good deeds and righteousness he of assistance in those less fortunate than us, irrespective of favorite.
We should, be as Christ was. When we are slandered back-butten, accused and made the victim of all sorts of evils by our adversaries their we should be so spotlessly their we should be so innocence concerning the things of which we are accused. The Sunday school and the entire church mourned the loss of one on their best and competent scholars, ceremonies were held 1:30 p.m. Monday at the Funeral Parlor.

St. Martin's Chapel
The First Sunday after Easter is also known as Low Sunday, said Rev H John H Johnson, in his message at St. Martin's Chapel, 122nd street and Lenox avenue and St. Mary's Church, much like unto our own lives. Easter Sunday, with its excitement and religious enthusiasm represents one of the peaks in our otherwise humdum existence. But after the excitement must come the full. And so just as Easter Sunday is a climax to the Sunday symbolizes an anticlimax. Historically, Low Sunday or the Sunday after Easter is known as the first Lord's Day. Hereofo, worship was held on the Jew's Sabbath or the Seventh Day. But after the Resurrection, the disciples work on the Sunday day of the week or the Lord's Day. "Life is made of monotonous low spots but these are made livable because of the high ones. On low days, one experiences a feeling of disappointment, a tiredness and an anpathy of spirit and if it were not power gained from the great days, one would be unequal to the struggle
"What are great days for? From them we receive strength, peace and joy. On the evening of that first great Easter Day, Christ came at eventide, into the midst of His displeasure, to give us the gift of "Peace be unto you," gave those followers power to carry on. And this is true of us today. We can carry on because of the help received from the great days in our lives. On these days, the beat in the top and helps to off-set the displeasure in the low days. And so we should let this great Easter season carry us on to other great days."
Flowers for the altar were contributed by Dr. and Mrs. S. Jones in memory of their sister; by Mrs. and Woman in memory of her aunt and Bruece Wells in memory of his father.
The "Three Fold Chord" will be given by the children on Thursday evening, April 18.

THE material contrast between the structures with which (Booker T. Washington) began and the present great, ample and commodious office of the nation. For our man to bring about. But satisfactory and ensured family life is, it is but imperfect measure of Dr. Washington's work and achievement. The educator and minister of two or three hundred young men and women for life useful to themselves and families of course most commendable and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he did and sought. His purpose was to radiate from a center, like Tuskegee the light of the homeland but an artificially rich man from the bank of real advance for his race, or any race—WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, Chief Justice United States Supreme Court.

HAPPENINGS IN THE REALM OF MUSIC
By LUCIEN H. WHITE
JUSTIN SANDRIDGE CONFIRMS FIRST JUDGMENT AS TO HIS PIANO PLAYING
JUSTIN SANDRIDGE CONFIRMS FIRST JUDGMENT AS TO HIS PIANO PLAYING
Justin Sandridge, the young Boston pianist, who played his first New York recital in the West 137th street Y, W. C. A. auditorium on March 1 making a fine impression upon his hearers, played his second recital in this city on Sunday evening, April 7, in the more spacious auditorium of the Imperial Elks building on West 129th street, near Seventh avenue.
He playing on this occasion confirmed the impression made on his debut that he is a scholarly, erudite musician, with facile, competent technique, productive of a smooth and even flowing tone. His playing at the Beethoven Sonata, Opus 27, No. 2, was an impressive exhibition of pahlsite skill. A striking comparison was shown in the rendering of the Chopin group which followed, in which there was a smooth, velvety song-quality of tone which brought out all of the Irish musician's romanticism.
For his commendation were the Nocturne (opus 62, No. 2) and the Caracolle. Other Chopin numbers were the Scherzo in E Flat Minor. Fantasie—Impromptu and Etude in B Minor. Then followed a first group—Liedtraume. Sospro and Funeralles, played with a comprehensive sympathy. A modern group by Debussy proved earlier thin and tenuous to the ears of the audience, but were played with delicate authority. They were "La fille aux Cheveux de la" girl with the flaxen hair) and "La Cathedrale engloutte" (The submerged Cathedral).
The Rachmannoff Prelude in G Minor was the final number of the program played with a tempestuosity in keeping with its Slavic theme and then came, as an added number, the same composer's familiar Prelude in C Sharp Minor.
The committee of arrangements in charge of the recital was composed of Mrs Bessye Bearden, Miss Ada Epps Freeman, Miss Roberta Bose, Mrs Maybelle Roane and Alexander A. Gatewood. The ushership was Mrs Margaret Abrams, Mrs Bessye Bearden, Mrs Bertha L. Cotton, Mrs Lottie Cooper, Miss Sedella Tynick and Iota Theta Gamma Sorcery. Box holders listed were the Theta Chapter, Phi Delta Kappa, Mme C J Walker Co. and Wilberforce University Club.
W F Lawrence was in charge as New York manager for M C Hersholt Boston.
It was announced on the programs that Mr Sandridge is permanently located in New York, with teaching studio in the Mme C J Walker building, 108 West 136th street, where he will teach piano-stringing and coach singers, violinists, and others.
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY MUSICAL CLUB SINGS WELL IN SECOND N. Y. CONCERT
A good sized audience was present at St Mark's M E Church 139th street and Edgcombe avenue, the Rev John W. Robbins, pastor on Monday night. April 8, to hear the Lincoln University Musical Club in an interesting program under direction of James E. Dorskey. The concert was under auspices of the New Members Class of the church and was handled through the concert management of Iddigan T. Rococo.
The group of singers was heard here last year at the St James Precinct Church, and the splendid impressions they made then was emphasized by their singing on this occasion. It indicated a riper and more experienced understanding of their work, with a more faithful adherence to the interpretative impulses of the director's baton. The young men sang with a commendable solidity of vocal utterance and showed abilities in developing nuances and in effecting dynamic contrasts. Mr Dorsey, himself a baritone of parts, has deserved a director handling his singers with authority and presiding them well under control at all times. Their singing was enjoyable and compensated, to some extent, for the long wait which the audience had to undergo as a result of the delay in starting the concert. It was 9 35 before the chorus marched in and the impatience of the audience, which manifested itself by frequent outbursts of handclapping, was a handicap the singers had to overcome.
Numbers were rendered by a quartet, in addition to ensemble numbers by the full chorus, and William Allym Hill, tenor, was the vocalist. The pianist, L. Randle Young, who was accompanist for the evening, played the Barcarolle from Dett's "In the Bottoms Suite," and Leon DeKalb, violinist, was programmed to play Kreisler's "Caprice Vienna." The lateness of the hour and length of program presented this reviewer from hearing this and other numbers in the latter part of the program.
CHARLOTTE WALLACE MURRAY SINGS
Washington, D.C.—Mrs Charlotte Wallace Murray, mezzo soprano in New York City, was the vocal artist presented by Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church on Friday evening. April 5, in recital No. 2 of the first annual recital series, marking dedication of the splendid newman in that church Roy Wilfred Tibbs, A A G O., of the Howard University Conservatory of Music, was the organist, and Miss Martha France Europe was the accompanist.
Mr. Murray was formerly a resident of Washington, and it was in 1915 that her notable musical career had its beginning. She was given in motion by the large and friendly audience when she made her first appearance, and her fine singing brought continued and increased plaudits.
Mr. Murray's offerings included the following numbers: "Nombre bien carr from 'Amadio' 1864), Lully, "Du bist so jung, Wolf, "Bride, Rachmannnoff, "Habanera" (air from "Carmen"), "Do not go, my love," Hageman, "The song of the Palanquin Brae, shaw, "Sea Fever," Ireland, "It was a lover and his lass, Quiber Thank God for a garden," Del Riego, "The Procession, Cater Frank.
Mr. Tibbs played the Guilmant Sonata No. 5 and Prayer in F. "In Sunshine by Stebbins, "Where dusk gathers deep" and "Romance" by Beers, "On bended knees" by Burligh, and "Toccata from a Walt-iphony

GOV. AND MRS. ROOSEVELT TO HEAD PATRONS FOR SEDALIA SINGERS IN THEIR RECITAL AT TOWN HALL APR. 18
Governor and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt have consented to head the list of patrons at the Town Hall concert of the Sedalia Singers on Thursday evening, April 18, at 8:30. This group of artists comes from the Palmer Memorial Institute, Sedalia, N.C., which was founded over a quarter of century ago by the nationally known Charlotte Hawkins Brown.
While this is the New York debut of the Carolina singers, Boston acclaimed them last April at Symphony Hall and will greet them again Monday night. Tributes paid their artistry by Boston critics indicate that these students do interpret the songs and folk dances of the Southland with verse and finesse.
Special artists slated to appear are three members of the faculty: Gertrude Parthenia McBrown, interpretive reader; Amy P. Railey, soprano, and Rudolph Gaston Scott, tenor. This appearance of Mr. Scott is his second. He made his first bow to New York on March 5. The tenor and Miss Bailey will offer Spirituals and classics. The boys and girls quartettes will be heard in the first half of the concert.

The school which bears the name of the late Alice Freeman Palmer of Cambridge, Mass., is a monument to the heroic efforts of Charlotte Hawkins Brown. This plant, started in 1901 with one building and fifty-five students, has been recently estimated to be worth nearly a million dollars.
At present it is the only accredited high school in the county and has been approved for an A-1 rating as a junior college, beginning next year. Palmer's 27 students are instructed by a faculty of twenty, all of whom hold de-

STRANGE THREE-PIECE MUSICAL GROUP BROUGHT TO NEW YORK BY AIRPLANE PLAYS FRYING PAN, BANJO & GUITAR
Out at the airplane headquarters at Curtiss Field, on Long Island, and the flyers and general public are being uniquely entertained by what is perhaps the oddest musical combination of modern music development, played by three Negro boys who undoubtedly, are the first to make the trip from South to North by airplane to win new audiences for their harmonistic endeavors.
It is a strange combination. One player has a banjo; another a guitar with a mouth organ fastened so it can be reached by the players' lips, and the third has an ordinary tin-faced washboard, to which, at regulated intervals, are attached three iron frying pans. This latter combination is summed by means of ordinary sewing thimbles worn on the players' lips.
They came from N. C. and the manner of their coming but adds to the strangeness of their equipment. They were brought here on an R-passenger Sikorsky amphibian plane which had been forced by unfavorable weather to make a forced landing at Fayetteville.
The plane was in charge of Henry White, test pilot and sales manager for the Sikorsky Manufacturing Corporation, and he was accompanied by Lewis A Saloman, another New York airman. Seeking to white away the dull hours of enforced waiting for favorable flying weather, White and Saloman were taking a walk through Fayetteville streets.
They happened upon the three colored musicians. They had never heard such music. The harmonica moaned and sobbed through an unheard of range of variations, the banjo and guitar gave body and time, and the washboard-frying-pan-thimbles combination crashed through like a trap drummer's dream.
The two flyers listened in amazement. Then, during one of the julls in the music, White told them.
"What you boys ought to do to come to New York. Your stuff would go over there big."
"That's fine," said one of the boys, but how do we get to New York? at the same time spreading out in his hands, the few dimes and nickels which had been garnered from the crowd around them.
"Well," said White, grinning to himself at the idea. "I have a perfectly good airplane out at the field. Give you a ride up to New York, if you are out there first thing in the morning.
The musicians declared their joy over the invitation and said they would certainly be on hand. After listening to a few more numbers by the band, the white airmen went on their way, but chuckling to themselves that the boys would never have the nerve to take that airplane ride.
And next morning the weather having elated, the armen busy in preparation for the takeoff to New York, never gave a thought to the three mated guests. But when White and his companions hurried to the airport they round the big Sikorsky standing on the line with someone already in the plane's cabin.
Annoyed at the thought of unwarrantied trespass White was about to start ejection operations, when one of the colored boys of the strange band combination stuck his head out of the window, and asked White if he was joking about taking them to New York in the machine. And then White remembered the invitation he had jokingly extended the musicians the night before.
To his surprise, and that of his companions the boys were on hand with all their instruments and already on board the ship. And so they came to Curtiss Field.
Since then, they have been the emissaries of the Living, playing there every day at noon. They are dubbed The Three Living Snowballs.

Spelman College Chorus Sings "The Japanese Girl"
Atlanta, Ga—An artistic performance in Atlanta was the presentation of "The Japanese Girl" by the Spelman High School Chorus, assisted by the Morehouse College Orchestra. The operetta was given in Howe Chapel, where the stage was laid to represent a Japanese house and garden. The walls of the house, the flowers in the garden, many of the mums in the garden, the mums which the players wore were made by the students, assisted and directed by Miss Lillian Webster and Miss Elizabeth Perry of the Spelman faculty.
The story of the operetta centers about the daughter of a Japanese emperor, who is celebrating her eighteenth birthday, regarded in Japan as "the coming of age." There is a picturesque custom in parts of Japan that when a near relative has to be absent from home for a considerable period, he often leaves behind a growing plant, young trees, or singing bird, which is called by his name and is regarded as his substitute. The greatest care is bestowed on this object as it is considered very important, as it represents should not harm befall it during his absence. The Emperor, who cannot be present at the celebration of his daughter, has left a bird in his stead.
Miss Webster, director of the Spelman High School chorus, has had special training in the direction of slee clubs and other high school groups, and the performance of "The Japanese Girl" was a tribute to her skill and work. The talent of the members of the chorus. The leading characters were as follows:
O Hanu San, a Japanese girl of position, Sara Blocker, O Kutu San and O Kayo San, her cousins, Mabel Hillman and Thelma Brock, Chaya, the tea server, Mary Moten, Nora Twinn and Dora Twinn, American girls, Lucile Dillon and Ida Miller, Miss Minerina Knowall, their governess, Millie Dobbs. In the chorus were Josephine Harreld, Cecel Long, Svibl Carter, Rebecca Duhart, Dhuart, Reece Duhart, Uler Hawkins, Melbah Brent, Alice Atwood, Beatrice Brock, Wilhelmina Harrs, Edythe Jackson, Isabel Jones, Dorsis Murphy, Anna Reed, Mildred Wardlaw, Jessie Wilson, Eva Willis, Mildred Turk, Mercedes Powell, Dorsis Sanders, Carol Blanton, Bonna Perine

Concord Baptist Church
the most outstanding portion of the sermon preached by Rev James B. Adams at the morning service was that of the failures which seem to be successes and the successes that appear to be failures. He spoke of the attitude of some people who pray God to bless them materially and then when the blessings come and they are considered successful in life they fail in the matters of eternal life by forgetting to recognize the source of their success. He spoke of others who fail, so it seems in all attempts to get very far ahead in material life, but who constantly keep in mind the source of blessing and who leave behind them a trail of warm hearts and cheered countenances and receive greater eternal blessing.
Rev. DeWitt Perryman, a representative of the National Baptist Convention, Inc., talked at the communion service in the evening on the desire of all men to leave some sign by which they may be remembered, bringing the various heroes of Biblical history for examples, even unto the Christ, who said, "This do unremembrance of me." On Wednesday Scoutmaster Paul Stewart took a mixed group of Boy Scouts on a bike and trail-following tour through the upper section of Van Cortlandt Park. From the reports of the boys they had quite the best time possible with no mishaps except a wormout shoe and much information gained. On the same day Captain Phillips took the Girl Scouts for an outing with fire-building as the main feature

WOMEN WORK FOR CHAPEL AT WEST VIRGINIA PRISON To Provide For Spiritual Ministration For Women At Alderson
(Continued From First Page)
"One thing it lacks. The Gov-
armment does not provide a chapel.
This is not in the nature of its
stations of this kind the chapel
if there is one as a separate building,
is the gift of an individual or
individuals. Witness the chapel
on Welfare Island.
An Important Element
The superintendent and staff at Alderson are convinced that the spiritual training of the women is the most important element in their reformation. They believe that the unconscious influence of a place set apart for worship is of calculable value. Services in a hall used for entertainment — movies, lectures dancing — are useful and much better than nothing, but they lack a vital element.
"A group of women of the type organizations most active in obtaining this institution, convinced of this need, have organized a committee whose purpose it is to present a chapel to Alderson from the women of the United States to their unfortunate aisles confined there. Congress in its last day passed a law embling the Federal Government to receive such a gift. The committee is now appealing to all the women in this country for gifts. None will be too small; none too large. There are many colored women at Alderson and we feel that the colored women of New York and other cities will want to help in the work.
Three Faiths Represented
The Chapel Committee consists of representatives of the three great religious faiths—Catholic, Protestant and Jewish. The chapel will be planned by the architect of the Department of Justice, but he is to be advised by representatives of all these faiths so that the chapel may be acceptable to all. We are sure that many women who read The New York Age will want to help "Gifts may be sent to any of the following Mr Fred R Moore of The New York Age, Mrs Walter McNab Miller, chairman of the Committee, 570 Seventh avenue, Miss Julia L. Kaffrey, secretary 730 Fifth avenue, Dr Katarina Bennew Davis chairman of the Endorsement Committee, 35-42 80th street, Jackson Heights, L. I

For instance, there is a town贮plated lunch wagon. Its outward appearance of being a decent yellow, hole after an August freshet. Though with their pocketbooks most like requeness of the sign, "Pullman Lr end to end. To them it is just food, the name is the proprietor's to expel the name of Pullman.

There are numerous other ways is moused, and like the lunch wagon is harmful to the reputation of mutilation through hearsay, and those mutilated with a minor degree of auction.
For example. When the Pullman that a certain privilege which the rules and the passenger asks will be telling the truth, but he knows it is a most effective answer. Anyway disposing of the passenger.
But it conductors are given to themselves are frequently victims of a conductor was berionoing the servant by a minor official. He who asked him from whom did the erk's name "Did he tell you issued, asked the older man. Not repaired the younger man. Well, less referring to the superintendent there was no official authority nor in the name of Pullman.
In the South, where it is almost commotion in Pullman cars, ever forbidding colored people these prit is against the rules of Pullman. Now the Pullman Company may the South, but it certainly makes yet in referring to this condition, speech or it as a discrimination for it present there is an election the selection of delegates to repress the Pullman management. Many that the Pullman Company-which must, is engaged in determining juveniles to this conference, have that this is the case. The writer sensation this is purely and simply of any kind.

IN THE NAME OF "PULLMAN"
Many are the sons of omission and commission that are committed in the name of Pullman, and they run all the way from the ridiculous to the serious.
For instance, there is a town in Massachusetts which harbors a dilapidated lunch wagon. Its outward color, which once had the appearance of being a decent yellow, has given way to the hue of a clay hole after an August freshet. Those who find its offerings consistent with their pocketbooks most likely have never considered the grosseuriness of the sign, "Pullman Lunch," which marks its shabby sides from end to end. To them it is just a place in which to procure cheap food, the name is the proprietor's business, not thers. If he chooses to exploit the name of Pullman that is his affair.
Is the same deduction the name might not mean anything to the new hatched chick, which poke their tiny heads against the perforated holes of their "Baby Chicks Pullman," with cries or tweet, tweet, then, again, tweet, tweet in chick's language, may mean, like me, see me I am traveling Pullman.
There are numerous other ways in which the name of Pullman is misused, and like the lunch wagon, abused, but none of these ways are as harmful to the reputation of Pullman as those which are committed through hearsay, and those which are committed by representatives with a minor degree of authority.
For example. When the Pullman conductor tells the passenger that a certain privilege which the passenger desires is "against the rules" and the passenger asks why? the conductor, may or may not be telling the truth, but he knows that "it's Pullman orders" is usually a most effective answer. Anyway, it is the most expedient way of disposing of the passenger.
But if conductors are given to this recourse in certain cases, they themselves are frequently victims of the same game. The other day a conductor was berionning the severity of an order which had been given him by a minor official. He was overheard by an older conductor who asked him from whom did the order come? He mentioned the elder man's name "Did he tell you on whose authority that order was issued?" asked the older man. No, but he said, it was Pullman orders, spied the younger man Well, if I were you, I would go see the boss (referring to the superintendent) about that. It turned out that there was no official authority for the order, it was simply an abuse in the name of Pullman
In the South, where it is almost impossible for Negroes to get accommodation in Pullman cars, even in those states which have no law loathing, colored people these privileges, the untamiliar are told that it is against the rules of Pullman to sell Negroes space in its cars. Now the Pullman Company may not encourage Negro patronage in the South, but it certainly makes no rules governing this patronage, yet in referring to this condition, even the most intelligent of Negroes specialize it as a discrimination fostered by the Pullman people. It present there is an election being held among the porters for the selection of delegates to represent them in a wage conference with the Pullman management. Many people, mostly by hearsay, believe that the Pullman Company—which is nominally the Pullman management, is engaged in determining just what porters should be elected as delegates to this conference. Even some of the porters will tell you that this is the case. The writer may be in error, but from this observation this is purely and simply an idea—without pillars or props of any kind.
The fact of the matter is these delegates, whoever they may be, are of the porters own choosing. If the porters do not choose wisely that is their own fault. Somehow or rather sympathy here is with the company in many things. This may be due in a large measure to the fact that one sees and bears many transgressions committed in the name of Pullman.
The Storm Petrel of the Pullman Service
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, they have a Fred Moore in the Fullman service. His name is J. Dj Bannister. He holds the title and position of traveling porter-instructor, a newly created position in the Pullman service, and he hails from the City of Brotherly Love.
This reporter had the pleasure several days ago of meeting the storm petrel for the first time. By some quirk of psychology, the vet can impressed the writer, perhaps it was his tall, gaunt frame and serious air, for he has the men of a church deacon who believes every word in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation." But it was learned later, however, that he is everything but a peaceful and pious person. He can be as militant at times as they make them, especially is he so when he thinks the occasion demands it.
This information came by way of an old fellow worker of his. This informant was asked what sort of man was this fellow Bannister? After an epitomized description, the conclusion was reached that he is not unliked by own Fred Moore. This acquaintance said that Bannister usually spoke as he felt, no matter what was the subject and who was the audience.
You know, said this relater, "it's not always diplomacy for a man to speak what he thinks, there are times when one should be received with speech but Bannister is not of that type. I have been in meetings with him in which he has spoken just as fearlessly to high Pullman officials as he would had they been a gathering of porters. Why, I have known him to throw the monkey wrench into the machinery of their deliberations on some important matter so deep that it took the heart of the day to get the machinery in running order again. I remember one particular occasion on which he did that, and at the matter was explained to him, he admitted he had "gunned" the works, but he wouldn't recant what he had said, for he believed he was right. And while he is always one of those fellows who will describe the company, yet he is never one to sit silently by if he thinks his workers are not getting a square deal. In spite of his aggressiveness the head officials of the company like him. I have always said he would eventually be promoted.
Porters Organize Benefit Club
cent years there has been a tendency among railroad work
outine their sick benefit activities to sick benefit clubs. These
have proved, to be of such satisfactory nature that a new one is
formed among the substantial porters in the New York dis-
trict. It will be known as the 102 Club and will be beneficiary only in
minutes.
Speaking with one of the members, he said that the amount of
the all member would be considerably larger than that
the green sick members by established external orders "further
we are picking with care those who we think will make dear
members, said he.
Rivers of the club for the present are E. W. Stokten pts.

Mrs. Mayfield Resigns As Federation Worker
Announcement was made Monday of the resignation of Mrs Elizabeth Mayfield from the City Federation of Women's (Cubs) Dr Julia P. H. Coleman president, and that Mrs Mayfield is no longer the social worker in the Women's Court for that organization. The reason for Mrs Mayfield's resignation was the Federation's inability to pay the salary of a social worker. For years Mrs Mayfield has been doing voluntary social work among the social prisoners in the Court known as the Jefferson Market Court. About a year ago she was invited to continue this work under auspices in the City Federation. That organization contracted to pay her a stipulated salary but this amount seems to have been beyond their means. Mrs Mayfield will continue her work in the Jefferson Market Court as a volunteer social worker.

Hoover Asked To Name Negro On Commission
Washington, D. C. President Hoover has been urged by the association for the Advancement of Colored People to appoint a Negro on his proposed law enforcement commission, on the ground that the Negro is notoriously a victim of slack or non-enforcement of law. Several names have been suggested, among them William H. Lewis of Boston, Perry E. Davis of Cleveland, O., and Judge James A. Cobb of the Municipal Court of New York. Negro leaders who have taken the matter up with the President assert they want an opportunity to disprove the frequent charge that drinking habits of the Negro made it necessary for the South to unite for the Nationwide dry laws

KEEL, YOUR TELEPHONE SERV 7E
Dependable
AA FEW men working on a telephone line in the
“yee sma’ hours” may pass unnoticed, but the scent
typifies the constant vigilance which assures you
the convenience, comfort and security of telephone
service.
By night and day the work of keeping the telephone
system of New York State in dependable order goes
unceasingly on. The speedways which connect
2,500,000 telephones and carry 12,000,000 calls each
day must not fail.
Persistent watchfulness, improved equipment, and
skilled installation make for dependability. But
accidents will happen, all the way from a broken
mouthpiece to damage by fire or violent storm. Sim-
ple troubles are often so hidden that the entire cir-
cuit from your telephone to our central office switch-
board may have to be examinéd.
‘Thearmy of telephone repairmen hasan ever higher
goal—to make shorter and shorter the time be-
tween the occurrence of trouble and the re-estab-
lishment of service. Even at night, in case of emer-
gency, these men stand ready to give you the service
you need.
If trouble comes, simply call “Repair Service”,
using another telephone if necessary. We value
the prompt reporting of any difficulty.
