If some cases, it is reported landlords did not wait for a late hour on June 1 to take action, but literally sent notices to tenants just as the hours noted the passing of May 11. And there is consternation among the tenants, for the proposed increase in some cases, is nearly a hundred per cent.

To Have $500,000 Capital The new organization will have a paid-in capital of $400,000, with assets of more than $1,500,000. The total insurance in force at present is nearly $27,000,000, with an annual income of about $1,000,000. The capital is to be made $500,000, enabling the company to nationalize its endeavors, and extend into other states besides the twelve in which it three companies are now operating. The merger will bring the company into third place among the Negro insurance companies in point of insurance in force. The headquarters will be in Chicago in which office will be maintained all records of the force merging companies. Quickly With Lapse Notify Tenants Of to Take Effect July 1 ments by the landlord In some cases, the tenants have been not courageed to put in electricity at their own expense, but now these improvements will be to the landlord's benefit, and are being used as an argument to justify the increased rents asked for It is declared that in some of these apartments there is so great a dearth of conveniences that several families, have to use the same toilet which is placed in the public hall. It is pointed out that in the section of Harlem between 110th and 120th streets there is a concerted scheme being employed by which the rents are to be raised to such heights as will be prohibitive to the further occupancy of these homes by Negro tenants. To further the present aim, it is said that property owners, and agents have formed an association to control the property, and that rents are to be raised on present Negro tenants to the point that will force them to seek other neighborhoods. Selling Price Raised Prospective buyers of properties are included in this scheme, and colored home buyers will find the price boosted far beyond their ability to pay. The argument advanced by some that there are a number of vacant apartments is being answered by those familiar with conditions, who declare that the reason for these vacancies is that the rent asked is more than can be paid by the average family. All are awaiting with interest the proposed action by the Board of Aldermen scheduled for next week when it is hoped that the City Fathers will enact relieving legislation in interest of the harassed tenants. ADVERTISE YOUR FURNISHED ROOMS IN THE NEW YORK AGE NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1929 NEGROES TO VOTE IN VA. PRIMARY U. S. COURT RULES Special To The New York Age Richmond, Va.—Judge Lawrence D. Groner, in the United States District Court, here ruled Wednesday, June 5, that the Virginia Primary Law was contrary to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution. Judge Groner's opinion, in the case of James O. West, Negro Democrat, against A. C. Billey and William Boltz, judges, and William Ricker, clerk of a Richmond voting precinct, declared that the State may not provide otherwise than for equal right of suffrage as well in the primary as in the general election. "This the statute does," he said, "and this was all there would be to go for compiles and it goes further and recognizes and enforces the right of a political party to prescribe qualifications forbidden under the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. This a State may not do." Judge Groner's opinion went to detail as to the constitutionality of the law, which has been construed as barring Negro voters. Judge Groner's Decision West, in his action, claimed nominal damages because precinct officials refused to permit him to vote in the last Democratic primary. To this plea the State, through Leon M. Bazile, Assistant Attorney General, filed a demurber. The demurber was overruled by Judge Groner's decision.

Dr. Sanders Removed From Bethel's Pastorate Because He Did Not Make Good, Is Given As Bishop's Reason Prelate Quoted As Denying Report Pastor Was Sent Away For Not Raising Assessment, But Says He Was Not Equal To The Task Bethel A. M. E. Church, West 132nd street, Manhattan, had what seemed to indicate another impending split last Sunday, when some of the members found that Bishop Jones, at the recent annual conference held at Buffalo, had removed the Rev. A. C. Sanders from that pastorate, transferring him to the New England Conference, and naming the Rev. Edward C. Clark of Columbus, O., as Bethel's new pastor. There was considerable frothing at the mouth, many expressions of indignation, and even threats as to what disgruntled members intended doing. To those familiar with events at the time the Rev. M. W. Thornton was sent to Bethel as pastor, there appeared probable another defection of members such as led to the organizing of the present Mt. Calvary M. E. Church, which was formed by a group of former Bethel members ported having raised $900 for the building fund, it developed, on questioning by the bishop, that this $900 was only for payment of interest, and that there had really been no accretion to the fund during the year And this general failure, it is declared, was the reason for the removal of Dr. Sanders from the Bethel pastorate, and it is asserted that Bishop Jones had frankly told Dr. Sanders of his intentions New Pastor Not Due Sunday But The Age has given from well-informed sources that the disturbance did not even reach the proportions of a "tempest in a tea pot." The presence of the presiding elder, Rev A. L. Wilson, in Bethel's pulpit last Sunday led to the strewing of a number of reports giving heasons for the non-appearance of the newly-designated pastor. One report and apparently one that had some substance of actuality, had it that a group of members, said to have been led by Class-Leader Kelly, had sent a telegram to Rev. Clark, to Columbus, telling him not to come to the New York church. And some of the group gave this as a reason for his failure to come. But this, it appears, was not the reason that Bishop Clark was not due to come until Sunday; June 12 as Bishop Jones, presiding over the New York Conference, had not officially notified Rev Clark of his new work. In last week's issue of The Age, Rev Sanders was quoted as saying that Bishop Jones was displeased because Bethel did not raise $1,700 for education as was assessed, falling short by $500, that the bishop was especially interested in Wilberforce University because his son is president. Failed To Make Good Bishop Jones could not be seen personally, but from sources that are known to be close to him it was learned that Bishop Jones said that the failure to raise the educational assessment was but a small part of the reason for his action. He is reported to have said that the real cause was the failure of Dr Sandors to make good as Bethel's pastor. This church, the largest and most important in the New York Conference, had not, he said, been kept up to its standard of accomplishment by Dr Sandors. During the past year, it was stated, reports showed that Bethel, with a reputed membership of the 400, had raised on the order hands $25,000 for the order bridge Bridge Church, Brooklyn with a membership of 1,500, had raised $30,000 and Enmanuel Church on 19th street, with a membership of only 700, had raised $19,000, just $6,000 short of Bethel's accomplishment. No Increase. To Fund: Another fact is shown by the reports, says the Age informant When the late Dr Henry K Spearman died, while serving the bethel's church, then $18000 in building fund at the last conference, while Dr. Sanders re- Frank Fane Takes 20-Year Lease On Hotel Dumas Building One of the biggest real estate transactions in Harlem during recent months occurred last week when Frank C. Fane, proprietor of the Hotel Dumas, signed a twenty year lease on the building which houses his hotel, 205 West 135th street. His old lease still has two years to run. The total rental he will pay for the 27 years period is nearly $150,000. The building is owned by Mrs. Wilford H. Smith, widow of one of New York's first New Jersey lawyers. ported having raised $900 for the building fund, it developed, on questioning by the bishop, that this $900 was only for payment of interest, and that there had really been no accretion to the fund during the year. And this general failure, it is declared, was the reason for the removal of Dr. Sanders from the Bethel pastorate, and it is asserted that Bishop Jones had frankly told Dr. Sanders of his intentions. He was transferred temporarily to the New England Conference, as the New Jersey Conference, which was Dr. Sanders' choice, had already met and adjourned. Then the death of Rev. Cummins, pastor of St. John Church in Brooklyn, made possible the transfer from Planfield to Brooklyn of the Rev. J. J. Derricks, and so the way was opened, for Dr Sanders to take the church at Plainfield and come into the New Jersey Conference. Pastor To Be Here Sunday. A statement attributed to some of Bethel's members at Bishop Jones had said that Dr Sanders would be retained at Bethel if the $500 due on education was paid, has been denied by the bishop, it is reported. The prelate is quoted as having replied to a question concerning the $500 that while it had some bearing it was not the main reason. The bishop is quoted further as declaring with emphasis that there was no personal feeling in the matter at all. That Bethel is the leading church in the New York Conference and should be led by a man of outstanding ability, a minister of its late pastor, Dr Spearman. The new minister Dr Clark, will be in the pulpit on Sunday, June 9 it is said that he measured in every way, to the requirements of the Bethel pastorate. Both the board of trustees and the board of stewardess, it is said, have wired Dr Clark to come on to occupy the pulpit at Bethel. Monarch Lodge Building Group To Erect Another Unit on West 138th St Monarch Lodge Building Group To Erect Another Unit on West 138th St About three hundred feet from the corner on Harlem's most popular thoroughfare, on West 18th street, there stands a monument to an ideal. This ideal, conserved in the minds of stalwart men and consecrated to the memory of him whose soul it was dedicated to the proposition that Park avenue housing tacitities must be at least eighth avenue prices. Monarch Lodge Apartments, Inc., owned by the Mt. Tee Monarch Lodge of Flaks, and Holst Court, its first unit, will be soon guarded by a second unit into which will be poured the same careful supervision that has made this proposition one of the outstanding achievements of the Negro in New York. This announcement will prove of especial value to those persons who were interested in the issue of certified gold bonds which this corporation is about to close out. The value of the gold bonds of this organization has been so well thought of by one of the oldest inancial groups in New York, that the institution has made a proposal to purchase and cause to be come an over-the-counter security, all of the unsold securities which the Monarch Lodge Apartments, Inc. has and to purchase outright any future offerings. Among some of the more recent purchasers of bonds who have been added to the happy family of Monarch Lodge Apartment investors are Dr Robert Russa Moton, press student, Tuskegee Institute, Mrs Mattie Thompson, Rev I W Brown pastor, Mother M J Zion Church, Gilbert Ross, James P Jackson William Phinney, Lester Ray, Charles Minutree I H Holloway, Edward Debateh, C Benjamin Curley and Mrs Rosa J Blocker.

SUPREME COURT IN USE OF NAME, TITLES, REGALIAS Injunction Granted By Texas Court Is Dissolved In Opinion Handed Down By Justice Vandevanter Washington, D. C. After eleven years of long-drawn out and expensive litigation, the United States Supreme Court, on June 3, handed down a decision through Justice Willis Vandevanter upholding the right of Negro Masons to the use of the name, "Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine," and to the use of titles, emblems and regalias similar to those used by white New Census-Reapportionment Bill Amended Tuesday To Exclude From Representation Disfranchised Negro The case came up from Texas, where the white Shriner filed suit against Negro Shriners in 1918, winning an injunction from the Texas Supreme Court. This injunction is reversed by the U. S. Supreme Court Order Unprotested 30 Years In effect, the court holds that "obvious and long-continued lapses" on the part of the white order now bars it from asserting an exclusive right as against the Negro orders. In other words, the court finds that for many years, approximately thirty before litigation" began the white order did not take adequate steps to assert the rights. The court fails to find the Negro order guilty of fraudulent intent. It finds that there was "mud imitation, but this is shown to have been in the nature of emulation rather than false pretence." Finds No Evidence of Fraud. There is no evidence of a fraudulent intent on the part of the Negro order, or of a purpose on its part to induce any one, whether Mason or non-Mason, to believe that it was the white order or that they were part of the same fraternity. On the contrary, it is shown that the Negro order always held itself out as entirely distinct from the white order and as open only to members of the Negro Masonic fraternity. True there was much imitation, but this is shown to have been in the nature of emulation rather than false pretence. The evidence discloses that the Negro order promptly entered its constitution in the Congressional Library, under an act of Congress providing for copyright; that its members openly wore its insignia as indicative of its existence and their membership and that at its yearly national meetings the mem New Census-Reap Amended Tuesday Representation D (Special To The New York Age.) Washington D. C—Political feeling ran high here Tuesday when the House of Representatives incorporated amendments in the pending census reapportionment bill which would exclude Negroes, whose right to vote has been denied or abridged in the South, from being counted in determining the numerical representation of each of the States in the lower branch of Congress. The effort to have aliens also excluded from the census enumeration was poked through by a coalition of Southern Democrats and Corn Belt Republicans. The North struck back a telling blow at the supporters of this proposal by a move aimed at Southern States that deny the Negro the right to vote Tinkham Offered Amendment This came in the form of an amendment offered by Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts requiring the census enumerators to exclude from their lists the names of all persons more than 21 who have been prevented from voting. If finally, adopted this proposal will cut down the representative of Southern States. The amendment offered by Dep resentive Tinkham seeks to counteract the effect of Southern statutes alleged to be in contravention of the spirit of the Fourteenth Amendment, and was carried mainly by Republicans, supported by the Tammany group who jumped bers in large numbers marched in public parades wearing its regalia. White, Order, Sold, Regalia White Order Sold Regalia. "It is shown by the uncontradicted testimony of several witnesses—one a life member of the white order—that a large proportion of the copied paraphernalia, regalia, emblems and insignia used by the Negro order, its lodges and members, was purchased from or through members of the white order, and that in one instance a lodge of that order, preparatory to moving to new quarters, sold the paraphernalia and regalia used in the old quarters to a lodge of the Negro order in the same city. Notalled Georgia Suits Justice Vandevanter recalled suits by a white lodge in Georgia in 1914 and in Arkansas a few years later. "But these objections came too late," he said, "to overcome or weaken the force of the conduct of the white order during the thirty years preceding the earlier of the two suits. After that period of inaction and seeming acquiescence, it was too late to resuscitate the original exclusive right for which the white order is now contending. "What we have said of the evidence demonstrates as we think, not only that there was obvious and long continued laches on the part of the white order, but also that the circumstances were such that its laches barred it from asserting an right or seeking equitable belief, as against the Negro order." "The effect on the Negro order of the silence and apparent acquiescence of the white order is reflected in the fact that, when this suit was brought the former had seventy six local lodges, approximately $600,000, which was held and used for fraternal and charitable purposes." portionment Bill To Exclude From isfranchised Negro their party lines out of resentment provoked by the action of Southern leaders in lending support to the anti-alien amendment Political Line Broken. Political lines were broken in the skirmish over the census-reapportionment bill, and the chamber was in an uproar from start to finish. The majority did not respond to the lash of the organization and accordingly the two amendments both of which are loaded with political dynamite, were fastened to the measure, which went to a final vote on Wednesday. Democratic leaders were of the opinion that if the Tankham amendment goes through, it would have the effect of reducing the representation of every Southern state from one to five members Rockefeller Foundation Agent Visits Institute Leo M Favrot, field agent of the Rockefeller Foundation, New York City, visited the West Virginia State College, on Friday afternoon, May 31 Mr Favrot and President John W.

The program of commencement week was opened with a sermon Sunday by Dr. William Louis Poteat, president emeritus of Wake Forest College, Wake Forest. N C Dr. Poteat, himself a man of wide scientific reputation, spoke upon the limitations of science "About 1895 scientists began to recognize their limitations. They say that they had been dealing with surface problems, whose solutions merely led them to the central mysteries, before which they stood in helpless impotence. The physical principles and tests which break down at the crucial point are even more disappointing in the investigation of personality the highest term in the natural sciences, the phenomenal status for handling phenomena of personality remains to be invented. The great scientists admit, their limitations and agree that there are spheres of reality to which their instruments and methods are inappropriate." Principal's Laat Message At the last Sunday evening chapel service of the year, Dr Moton reviewed the work of the year which he said was one of the happiest which the Institute has had, expressed the hope that the students will have a pleasant and profitable vacation period, and warned against the danger of intemperance in any of their activities. "I don't think there has been a year during which the students have worked more faithfully, consistently and more successfully than they have this year. We are thankful for that." Those students who are graduating urgently to look for an easy berth in life "You won't find an easy place in this world. You may find a happy place, happy by your own efforts and achievements when you have worked consistently, unselfishly and persistently. Set yourself to the job. Go to the finish.

Md. BY THOMAS B. BURKE. Md.-In nature owns amphitheatre, roofed by fruiting apple and cherry trees, with the smell of new-mown hay in the cool June air, the oldest annual commencement exercises of Morgan College, Rev J O Spencer, president, opened on Sunday afternoon Rev Charles Winterfield Baldwin (white), president of the Board of Trustees of Morgan, preached the Baccalaureate sermon. Introduced by President Spencer, Dr Baldwin said that a good way to succeed is to follow a good leader, consequently. Morgan is succeeding by having such a good leader as Dr Spencer to follow, and advised his hearers to also follow the goodness of Morgan and its veteran leader of 27 years service. The preacher built his sermon around the Bible of Philip and the Ethiopian, and tried to duplicate to his audience the sermon that Philip might have preached to his loved auditor. "The great example set in the Ethiopian was having an open mind," continued Dr Baldwin. An open mind, the willingness, and the learniness to be favorable for all College degrees suit our pride, fire our ambition. The equipment colleges provide today is greater than our ancestors had, and it also carries great responsibilities. But the greatest of all knowledge to acquire is the love of Jesus Christ in our heart, without which the culture is of no avail. The preacher is concluding well of the graduates to speak well of your alma mater and sustain its honor by leading clean noble and upright lives." An added feature of this commencement week was the presence of Judge W F Crockett of Hawaii an alumnus, class of 1882, who made the long journey over water and land to pay homage to his alma mater. He told of the good study of the Bible had done for him and stated that he was the original organizer of the Christian Endeavor Society in the Islands in 1904; Mrs Crockett organized the first Sunday school and they have introduced the familiar observance of Christmas with gifts Christmas trees, etc. Today all the Christian innovations instituted by them are flourishing and popular the Judge asserted Washington, N.

Moore of the Trade School and Mrs. E. J. Johnson, won the Dr. Gregg introduced the chief speaker, Gordon B. Hancock of Virginia Union University, as a scholar, teacher and preacher who has won deserved recognition. Choosing as his topic "Thinking in Terms of the Ultimate," Prof Hancock outlined the progress of the many civilizations overwhelmed through the ages in the past, and for these nations done to be saved, he asked "It must be plain today that the things for which we have led other great peoples to their doom. What must we do to be saved?" My answer is that we must think in ultimate terms. Survival of the. Negro. The survival of the Negro he declared, is not a foregone conclusion to thoughtful men. "There is no more uncertain proposition in the realm of race relations of the United States than the future of the Negro in this country. Within twentieth years the Negro in this country may have to face a change in the white man's attitude toward manual labor," he asserted. "There is a danger that the Negro standard of living would outstrip its means of subsistence because the Negro has not yet met it at voluntary sacrifice which forms the groundwork of a substantial economic life. There is a danger in the vaunting of Negro progress and the consequent alienating or white friends. To survive, the Negro must be just a little better than his wife competitor, for unemployment is bound to be more and more a part of the industrial order and the burden on it will be the most severe if will be the most severe. The race question is now entering its economic phase the most stubborn of them all." "Booker T. Washington thought in ultimate terms and was misunderstood, but the passing years are vindicating what he said." Addresses by Graduates Locusttig, Lrc. Corapeake N.

The Jackson Daily News is the lead newspaper published in Mississippi, is edited by Mr. Frederick Sullens, a ribbed Democrat, who is insistent his opposition to the formation of a white Republican party in that state. a native white Democrat, Mr. Sullens posed the vindictive prosecution of Per Howard in the Federal courts, in such bold manner as to incur an attempt to mah him for contempt of court, a proding that was eventually dropped, nowing this much about this unterrified Mississippi editor, it is not surprising to id the following estimate of the Negro an economic asset, printed in a recent state of the News: Oscar C. Bryant, a prosperous farmer of the Wiggins neighborhood, and valued subscriber of the Daily News, passes us this wise comment: "Mississippi has three economic assets—cotton, timber and Negroes. The timber will soon be gone. The cotton crop is not dependable. The Negro is always here and ready to work." That's putting it just about as pointedly and truthfully as it is possible to describe Mississippi's economic situation. "Mississippi has three economic assets—cotton, timber and Negroes. The timber will soon be gone. The cotton crop is not dependable. The Negro is always here and ready to work." That's putting it just about as pointedly and truthfully as it is possible to describe Mississippi's economic situation. The timber is almost gone—no doubt what ever about that. The cotton crop is not allways dependable. Fortunately, we never score a complete crop failure. But the Negro is always with us, more or less, ready and willing to work for small wages, and, regardless of social phases of the economy, on the political and social phases of the economy, mon honesty must commel you to admit that the Negro is our most permanent and reliable economic asset. This being true, the lowly race is at least entitled to a square deal, at all times under all circumstances. Occasionally, at least, we ought to be honest with ourselves. Take the Negro out of Mississippi and the state would go bankrupt in less than a week. Therefore, the money expended in making our most permanent or economic asset more reliable and efficient by taking the Negro out of Mississippi, the Negro asks us but little and expects less. The little we give him, is gratefully Occasionally, at least, we ought to be non- nest with ourselves. Take the Negro out of Mississippi and the state would go bankrupt in less than a week. Therefore, the money expended in making our most permanent eo- nomic asset more reliable and efficient is by no means wasted. Under existing conditions the Negro asks us but little and expects given less. The little we give him is gratefully accepted, but we of the Anglo Saxon race must admit that we have been misgled, not to say miserly, in what we give to the hewers of wood and drawers of water who make our own existence possible. This estimate of the black workers of Mississippi as an economic asset of the state is not dictated by any weak sentimentality, but it bears the earmarks of a frank expression of opinion by a hard-headed but nevertheless fair-minded exponent of public opinion, as held by the thinking white people of that state. The conclusion that the race, because of its economic value, is at least, "entitled to a square deal, at all times and under all circumstances," is the crux of the situation, which needs to be impressed upon the white people who dominate the industries and politics of the state. The effort to build up a lilywhite Republican party in Mississippi, eliminating the Negro and feeding it with liberal doses of Federal patronage, is more than likely doomed to defeat. Such an abnormal product of political partition could not long survive the trying struggle toward political maturity. It would be bound to die of some infantile disease such as political rickets or anemia, due to its unnatural inception. But it is possible that within the fullness of time a real Republican party may emerge in Mississippi, haed upon the vital differences now existing in the Democratic ranks. When that party shall take shape, it will lessen the liability of white supremacy or Negro rule. But to bring about the square deal for the Negro that Editor Sullens admits he is entitled to is the first great task for those who would preserve an important economic asset. A square deal should not only include an adequate return for the labor that the black workers do, but the right to live under the protection of the laws in peace and security. It should include better school facilities, better workers and better citizens. With these improvements should come the recognition of the Negro's right to vote and serve on juries, in fact to exercise his full status as a citizen before the law. It is the recognition by a few enlightened Southern editors of the economic value of the Negro to that section, that prompts the hope and the belief that the white South will eventually of its own accord bring about a decided change for the better in the relations of the two races. But the tendency to mob law and lynching must be suppressed before such hope can be realized. And this applies not only to Mississippi, but to every state where mob law is triumphant One of the most significant comebacks in the chronicle of American politics is recorded by Lester A. Walton in the June number of Current History, under the heading, "The Negro Comes Back to the United States Congress." Noting the taking of his seat by Representative Oscar DePriest of Illinois at the opening session of the Seventyfirst Congress, it was recalled that twentyeight years have passed since Representative George H. White of North Carolina closed his term of service as the sole race representative in the Fifty-sixth session. Mr. Walton quoted his valedictory address as follows: This, Mr. Gosarman, is perhaps the Negro's temporary farewell to the American Congress; but, let me say, Phoenix-like, he will rise up some day and come again. These parting words are in behalf of an outraged, heart-broken, bruised and blooding, but God-fearing people, rising full of potential force. The only apology I have to make for the Negro is that I am pleading for the life, the liberty, the future happiness and manhood suffrage of one eighth of the entire population of the United States. Over a year ago when Mr. DePriest became a candidate to succeed the late congressman Martin B. Madden, it was confidently predicted by many of the newspapers that the racial group would look to having three representatives in congress, from the cities of Chicago, New York and St. Louis. Chicago was the only city at last year's election to justify this hope. St. Louis had a colored candidate nominated on the Democratic ticket, but he was opposed to Representative Dyer of Missouri, who introduced the Federal anti-lynching bill, and failed to receive many votes from his own group. In New York the effort to elect a Negro member to Congress has failed repeatedly because of the fact that the voters of that group do not enroll and register in sufficient numbers to give the candidate a majority at the polls. The colored population in North Harlem is estimated at between 250,000 and 300,000, including Cubans, West Indians and Puerto Ricans, many of whom are not naturalized. But if one-half of those eligible here to register and vote, the possibility of one member of the New York delegation being a Negro is pronounced as not being remote. Many of those who feel most strongly on this matter are not indicted to discuss it, because they frankly admit that it is useless, until the voters can be aroused to the point of enrolling and registering. And the point of the matter is that such a representative might be of either party, so both white Democratic and Republican leaders are equally anxious to discourage the attempt, because no party advantage might accrue from the nomination. However, the time is ripe for a determined effort to replace the former Representative from the Twentyfirst New York district, Royal H. Weller, by a member of the race. Unless this is done soon, it may be rendered more difficult in the future through a reapportionment and reymandering of the district so as to matter the bulk of colored voters where their votes will be ineffective. This same thing applies to the nomination of Assemblymen and State Senators. If the colored voters of Harlem do not use their votes more effectively in seeking racial representative in these elective positions, they will wake up some day to find their voting power curtailed. Chicago seems to be the only great city where the Negro has learned to use his vote so as to make it count in national and state politics.

SUICIDAL MANIA CATCHING According to the observations of Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman, the rate of suicide among American Negroes is bound to increase with the more thorough assimilation of this group to American standards living. Dr. Hoffman is the author of Racist Traits and Tendencies of the American Negro," a work noted for its many unwarranted conclusions, which have been refuted by the course of events in the years since its publication. According to the observations of Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman, the rate of suicide among American Negroes is bound to increase with the more thorough assimilation of this group to American standards of living. Dr. Hoffman is the author of "Race Traits and Tendencies of the American Negro," a work noted for its many unwarranted conclusions, which have been refuted by the course of events in the years since its publication. According to a review of Dr. Hoffman's latest work, published in the Journal of Negro History for April, primitive man rarely commits suicide. Yet, he says that suicide by slaves has not been uncommon. The Negro being regarded as primitive would naturally show fewer suicides in proportion than the white population. This is illustrated by statistics showing that in 1924 the white suicide rate of Georgia was 9.6, while that of persons of African blood was 1.6. In Louisiana it was 9.0 for the whites and 2.7 for the Negroes. In Mississippi, it was only 4.8 for the whites and 0.2 for the Negro. Evidently there must be more to live for in Mississippi, than the history of that state would indicate. For the registration states, Dr. Hoffman found that the rate of suicide for the Negro population was only 3.6 while the white rate for the same states was 13.0 The author does not find that the Negro suicide rate has recently increased, but he contends that more thorough assimilation will bring this to pass. He argues that for all practical purposes, the Negroes live in much the same manner as the whites, which is a remarkable concession for a writer dealing with statistics. He says further: "They have about the same religious connections, enjoy about the same civil status, and to a large extent are reasonably well enough educated to comprehend the difference between right and wrong. If, therefore, the Negro suicide rate is decidedly lower than the white, I feel it may safely be attributed to racial influence rather than to the American environment." Now, what does that racial influence consist in, if Dr. Hoffman's conclusion is to be accepted? Is it a higher power of endurance that enables the race to suffer without seeking refuge in self-destruction, or is it a phase of religious belief that forbids the taking of one's own life? That is an interesting question for debate. GROOMING THE CANDIDATES. Another name has been added to the list of possible candidates for Mayor of New York this fall. Besides the better known aspirants, including Mayor Walker, ex-Mayor Hylan and former Controller Herman A. Metz on the Democratic side, with Congressman F. H. LaGuardia leading the Republican possibilities, there has been added the name of Col. Arthur W. Little. Col. Little went to France as a major in the Fighting Fifteenth Regiment and as consequently well known to Negro voters. He later became its commanding officer after its return to Harlem. During the past few years Col. Little has been active in politics having served as president of the Republican Business Men's Organization, during the mayoralty campaign of four years ago. He lives in Manhattan and is chairman of the board of directors of the J. J. Little and Ives Company, printers. Recently he was indorsed by many Republicans to succeed Secretary Stimson as Governor General of the Philippine Islands. If it is deemed advisable to run a straightout Republican for Mayor this fall Col. Little, with his excellent war record and high business standing, would make a strong candidate. The attempt to combine the opposition to the present city administration in a fusion movement, contemplated the naming of some outstanding independent Democrat as mayor. But it has not been so easy to find a candidate of this type. Hence, the casting around for a popular Republican like Representative LaGuardia or Justice Gustave Hartman. However, a conference of Republican county leaders is expected to be held within the next week or so, to iron out these matters and to outline a plan to be presented to the unofficial convention to settle upon a ticket. The ticket selected will have the support of the regular organization in the primaries. APPEALING TO THE ALDERMEN. An appeal has been made to the local legislature, the New York Board of Aldermen, to take some action to extend the Emergency rent laws, or to pass a local ordinance that will protect city tenants from excessive raising of rents by extortionate landlords. The power of the local lawmakers to enact such a measure and to make it suck is problematical and will probably have to be tested in some court action before it can be definitely determined. At all events the matter is to be put up to the aldermen and they must do the best they can to please their constituents. The raising of rents by Harlem landlords, as made known by thirty-day notices dating from June 1, or even earlier, have shown that they believe they can get more than they are now receiving from their holdover tenants. Some of the old tenants who had been paying from forty to forty-five dollars a month, complained that their rents were raised to seventy dollars. Others who had paid sixty-five dollars were raised to one hundred dollars. At the same time some of the real estate agents are advertising long lists of apartments to rent, in their efforts to secure new tenants. A curious feature of the situation was a tenants' emergency rent parade through the main thoroughfare of Harlem last Saturday. As a popular demonstration it was not impressive except for a few of the women participants who carried their placards of protest against high rents with grim earnestness. Most of the male marchers were either very youthful or also seemed to bear the mark of the professional agitator, who took advantage of the demonstration to promote unrest and air his views. Regardless of what the Board of Aldermen can do to curb rent profiteering, the city departments in charge of housing conditions, should enforce all the city ordinance providing for sanitary and safe conditions, in tenements and apartment houses. Before collecting higher, rents the owners and landlords should be made to clean up and repair, those buildings which have been allowed to deteri- THE AGE READERS' FORUM The Negro In America Editor of The New York Age. Editor ob The New York Age. Last evening it was our great pleasure to review the highly creditable year's work of our pastor, Rev. E. Horace Brown and his faithful, hard-working membership. I was feeling very happy at the close of this our Fourth Quarterly Conference. The Negro of this free country has a hard row to shop, however we are confident that Right the deathless principle, backed up by honest, diligent application on the part of our people to improve their position, will win the day although that day now seems far away. One day ten years ago, a certain editor in one of our Massachusetts cities and where I happened to be preaching at the time, said to me in course of a conversation, "Mr. Weller, I think in twenty five years from this lot of the Negro in this country will be a far happier one and more creditable to America. I was born in a southern state and had to get down on my knees in prayer to God to get that ugly feeling of prejudice against the Negro out of my heart, but I did it and now I am praying and working for that day to come." One of the tragic blunders made by the country in the past, has been the indifference of the white press and the white elites who whole in reference to this supreme question—the question shall the Negro be treated as a man and give an equal chance, since he is here to stay, to make good? A certain famous New England abolitionist now gone to his eternal reward, once remarked in the course of a famous speech that, in the time of war the Negro is considered a good citizen and sought affection for +4 elderly men in the time of peace he is treated as an alien Alas, how true! But, sir, a wonderful change is taking place. Let the strong, great North, as an act of justice abandon its long-known dubious and subtle attitude towards the Negro; let the religious South (and I am including in this in our own parent Church, the Methodist Episcopal down there) arise from its suicidal condition and give justice the right of way, let the great Roman Catholic Church begin from today a degree of education for the abjects, the Italian and the abjects who come here seeking labor from other countries, most of them crude emigrant and illiterate, as well as those who are born here and have been here for some time—teach them for they are ignorant along these lines—that the Negro is not a mere pawn or industrial and economic chattel, but that he is a man has a soul and has helped to make America what she is, and see if that long wished for day by many right thinking people will not come Presiding Elder New England Conference W M F lion Church, Portland, May 23 The Week of June 8 ASTROLOGICALLY CONSIDERED BY THEARCHER Jupiter enters Gemini, the sign of the Twins, on June 12, and will transit through this sign for about a year. The people born in this sign, Gemini, May 21 to June 20, will now begin to get ahead, and the well being and health will take a turn for the better. The birthdates of May 21, and 22 are particularly well aspected for the year, and the experience many pleasant happenings. It brings financial opportunities, and gain in social and business affairs. Watch some of the people whom you know were born on these two dates. This aspect occurs about once every twelve years. Mars is well aspecting those who were born on June 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 all this week. This aspect brings opportunities for financial gain and for travel that will turn to be very pleasant and profitable affairs of a brother or sister who will bring measure of happiness. This aspect is rapid and passes too quickly for most people to know about it in time. Use the well week. Saturn is bringing opposition from brothers or sisters, delays and obstacles to important plans and ideas, all health, loss through impatience, and the loss of some beloved relative or cherished trunk to the birthdates of June 17, 1920 and 20. New plans be placed on the planetary vibrations but end disastrously, and for that reason it is best to bide time and wait until the planetary vibrations are more favorable. This aspect will last until the end of November, 1929. Those who have this aspect will be able to pass through without much difficulty if they will use patience, take very good care of the health, since this aspect tends to cause bronchial disorders, and trouble with the digestive system. They should sleep as much as is possible. The recuperative powers are very low under this transit. Study and thoughtful activities for the future is best done under this aspect. The birthdates of May 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 will feel an adverse effect from Mars, all this week. Peter Salem Day 一 orate during the rest. law emergency.

What The Negro Thinks BY JESSE O. THURAS. Editor of The New York Age: I have read critically the recent book What Is Negro Think?, by Dr. R. M. Horowitz, aside from certain data there is very little news, for the Negro who is a constant student of the history of our group in America and who does any considerable traveling to the extent that he is familiar with general practices and public policies as affect the Negroes throughout this country. Nevertheless, the uncompromising frankness, analytical exposition and open-minded approach to the subject under discussion, together with the authenticity of the sources of the information, make this Doctor Moton's valedictory publication effort. The accurate and detailed description of what transpires in connection with public travel of Negroes, of presented to or placed in the hands of the General Passenger Agents of the railroads that traverse the South should at least cause them to give more care than their traveling public thus be evident at the present time. Much of the value of the book lies in the fact that perhaps a large number of white people will read it than would read a book by any other Negro in America. Ninety-nine and almost ten-tenths per cent of them will be shocked with its revelations. This book is calculated to give additional stimulation to the whole cause or race relations. They will need to be very careful of health and financial affairs. This aspect often brings sojourn in hospitals and operations. Quarrels and arguments will simply bring tragedy or the loss of valued friends. Patient: and good judgment are all that is needed to pass through this brief but hectic period. The readers who would like to know how to avoid some of these worries, and to know how to get ahead, should write to Thearcher in Larkshire New York Age: 200 (Larkshire New York, New York). The birthday, month, year, hour and place must be given correctly. If the hour of birth is not known the time of the day morning or evening, and the date of the month should be written at the top of the letter. This paragraph and a stamped and self-addressed envelope should accompany the birth data. All communications are confidential. A Lynching In Tennessee Greenbush, N.C. News Leader Crockett and Gibson counties are in West Tennessee only a few miles removed from the Mississippi river. That would make them as far from Elizabethiah as any New Bern is from Asheville. It would also place them not distant from Memphis, and Memphis is the city which has the highest homicide rate of any large city in the United States. The lanching of the Negro Joe Boxley, after neither the sheriff of Gibson counties nor the sheriff of Cookett county was able to restrain the zeal of the mob, differs from most burgers on that man was charged with an assault on a white woman a crime which is the basis for only a small proportion of mob murders in the south, and in that it was accomplished through unusual persistence. To the credit of one officer, Sheriff Bradshaw of Gibson county, it must be noted that he was able to remove his prison in spite of the Expatiating upon the "Cost of Ignorance," the editor of the Philadelphia . Christian Recorder, dis-coursed in this vein: Everywhere, every day, a dozen times a day, if not more, our attention is called to the severe cost of ignorance. The reason we write this is because we sat in the courtroom and heard a number of cases, chiefly young men, between the ages of 16 and 25. One-third were colored men and 90 per cent of that third were in court because of their ignorance. Most of the cases were trivial. Some thought they could have a good time by cutting up one another, others by stealing automobiles, having joy rides, others by just getting drunk and raising what is called a "rough house," etc. As many of the defendants testified, they could not help but feel sympathetic, because they had been brought to their situation not so much because they were vicious, but because they did not know. It is a great duty laid upon all publicized men and women in giving folks better information. We were recently told that nearly half of the cases of family difficulties that come before our court of domestic relations are colored, where there are 10 white families to our court, yet the domestic cases are half and half. Not because the people are worse, but because they suffer for lack of knowledge. We were recently told that the same thing is almost true in the juvenile court, that the delinquency among colored children is appalling. The same is true in regard to unmarried mothers. This religious editor suggested that "while our preachers are helping our folks prepare for the life beyond, it is the most' necessary thing that they be prepared to live the life here." This is what the lay editors have been advising for a long time. Referring to the matter of reapportionment which Congress has studiously neglected since the census of 1920, the Cleveland Gasette said. Members of the Congress and presidential electors are apportioned on the basis of population. In the southern states where our voters and thousands of white Republicans, regardless of educational qualifications, are deprived of their vote, Democrat voters get an unfair power in comparison with all northern voters. On the basis of the 1924 figures, one vote in Mississippi for the choice of presidential electors had a weight of 2.5% of votes in New York State, a disparity not of course wholly due to disfranchisement. Representation Congress and the electoral college should be reduced proportionally in southern states which by force or fraud deny the vote to any of their citizens. This would not require a constitutional amendment, either. The reduction of representation on the basis of votes cast instead of population, would practically ratify and approve the disfranchisement of Negro voters in the South --- A writer in the Union Reformer of Raleigh official organ of the Baptist State Conventions of North Carolina, calls for censorship of school entertainment programs, with the following preamble. To witness some of the modern school entertainments and see the plays and dances with girl actresses almost nude, male pupils displaying every trick of the modern magician and impersonating the uncouth groveling suggestive language of the circus clown or the minstrel show actor it brings to one mind the inquiry encounted in the caption of this article, "Whither We Are Drifting" Are we drifting into higher planes of cultural atmosphere where the upper current is so different that that which our early forbears termed evil we find to be good? And what they branded as immodual actions we children of advanced culture have proved to be elevating and educative? Are we driving into an age mob which battered in the door of the jail. But to the discretion of the same officer he either could not hide the trail of his light or misjudge the determination of the mob. Any way, he was followed too closely and did not carry his man far enough away, no farther, in fact, than the next county seat. And to the discretion of Seriff Emerson of Cockett county it is to be noted that he was unwilling or unable to defend the prisoner finding it more convenient to ogen the door rather than defend it and thus virtually to turn the prisoner over to the mob It is the Governor of Tennessee who has ordered out some 800 members of the National Guard to maintain law and order in Elizabethtown has the disposition to investigate further the state of law and order in Tennessee, we command to him the conduct of these officers. He could go further and find out how many other sheriffs will be glad to open tail doors for mob-murders. Eir John Simon Commission Sir John Simon in the course of his speech at Ootakamund, made an interesting, and at the same time a damaging admission, the full import of which he possibly did not realize at the time. He said "I do not know whether it was necessary to have all the police force guarding our route to this place." Evidently the close escort under which the members of the Commission are going about it telling even on the nerves of Sir John Simon, who had so long been prefitting to ignore the popular demilitation against the Commission. where virtue may be supplanted by vice, or it isn't popular to dress sensibly and: deport one's self with discretion on the stage? "Whither are we drifting anyway?" Certain teachers are blamed for this situation and the Parent-Teachers Association' was called upon to arrest this downward trend. Inveighing against "These Conventions of Ours," Miss Nannie II. Burroughs discourses as follows in the National Baptist Voice. The convention session is upon gas Everything from the Fact-Finding Conference to the International Order of the Sons and Daughters of Confusion will meet between now and November first. Over a million dollars will be wasted by church and secular organizations for railroad fare, uniforms, regalia, show-clothes, gas and entertainments. Millions of tons of hot air will be wasted getting this crooked and perverse generation "hold" When it is all over the rain will be richer and the poor will be poorer. Only a handful might be a little wiser. The more conventions we hold, the less we do. Conventions seem to confuse us Men and women who are connected with church organizations spend a hundred dollars in railroad fare and expenses to bring ten or twenty dollars to a convention, and they sit around a whole week eating and fussing over nothing. Miss Burroughs concluded that a million dollars was too much to spend during the convention season and get nothing more than a minutes' worth of hot air from the delegates on their return. Greater moral and spiritual benefits are demanded from the investment William E. Johnson, better known as Pussyfoot Johnson, a noted Prohibition propagandist, contributed the following bits of dry propaganda to the American Issue, published at Westerville, Ohio What's all this we hear from France and Egypt: A group of deputies from the Languedoc and Roussillon districts have introduced into the French chamber of Deputies a bill to prohibit the planting of grape vines in places where they have been vines before Violators of this "prohibition" law, if it becomes a law, are to be imprisoned in the house-gaw. for a period ranging from eight days to three months. In addition to this, his vineyard is to be destroyed and he must further pay damages to the Wine Growers Association of not less than 2,500 per acre. * The consumption of wine through out the world is diminishing and the wine makers by such a law seek to diminish the production. And here comes a flareup from Ervort. Mohammed Owens has been an employee of a Carlo firm whose members are butterly opposed to the prohibition of drink. But the firm was deeply incensed at Mohammed because he persisted in hearing whiskers, against the mandate of his employers. The firm thereupon hired Mohammed because of his refusal to obey the prohibition edited Mohammed took the matter into court and got judgment of 200 Egyptian pounds (about $1,000 American money) as "compensation." The wet firm indignantly appealed from the judgment, but alas, the judgment was affirmed. So Mohammed is walking about the streets in triumph, with a thousand dollars in his pocket and his whiskers wasting defiance to the breeze. This anti-prohibition concern is violently opposed to prohibition of booze and yet advocate the prohibition of whiskers, are unable to talk where the laugh comes in. The combination of grape wine and whiskers seems to count as an irrebutable argument in favor of prohibition, although the troops might be an economic measure and the latter on aesthetic grounds. Telling about the winner of the Pulitzer prize for the best editorial written during the past year awarded Louis J. Jaffee, editor of the Norfolk Pigman-Pilot for his editorial dealing with the Hunger Lynching, the St. Luke Head of Richmond said. Negroes, with one accord uttered a prayer of thankfulness that there was in the Southland a liberal white man who dared speak out above the din of racial prejudice and brutality visited upon defiance less Norroes. Mr. Jaffie has had a career as the newspaper field that has been referred to by fairness and liberty to the Negro. In Norfolk he is considered by the colored population as one of the fairest white men regardless of his being classed a Southern white. His attacks on mankind wrongs do not necessarily center about the Negro as a class but they are made to include all other respective of race or race. Negroes in the South are being forced to the admission that there are white men and white women with have the sens of fairness to underprejudged groups, that make them out against easily put things that are dead against the victims. Such unarmed men as Mr. Jaffie and some those who make up some of the Southern women clubs are described the evils and crimes. A mob rule will go a long way toward solving what is commonly called the race problem in the South. While Mr Jaffe is far from being the first white editor in his section to denounce lynching it is a hopeful sign for the South that writers of such editorials are multiplying. CHURCH AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES Saturday, June 8, 1929 Grace Church of Harlem A goodly portion of the congregation of Grace Church came out to the morning service.

Church Tuesday night the two other boards met jointly, and the Men's Board tendered the Ladies Board a nice collation, which was greatly enjoyed. Pres. E. Thompson of the Men's Board conceived the idea of a celebration on just after the tenth anniversary of the Ladys Board was held. This had the effect of cementing the two Boards closer together and, the work goes on very smoothly and efficiently. Wednesday night the regular monthly social of the church was held, with a number of members participating in the light refreshments served tastefully by Brother Lovell and Sisters Lovell, Moore and Thompson Thursday, the church school did not go to the park, as its custom on Memorial Day. The reason was lateness in sending the pupils to school, and the day before the time to go, and this day of course, was too late. However, the children were treated to a more time in the afternoon of Saturday when the teachers had them out, rehearsed "Children's Day Eve," and they took the cream, cake, etc. They greatly enjoyed these things Friday night the members were out in goodly numbers to prayer service, and it was evident from their prayers, that they looked forward to the evangelistic services just ahead Sunday the chorus delighted all with their songs from their new song books.

Pullen on St. Augustine, the Pharisee on supported Souls' found in Jerusalem "O Lord, thou hast deceived me." He explained his perplexity when he first read these words, so that he had to pray for enlightenment. The solution is that men who do illful the requirements of the plans, the needs of the retinence, culture, and ceremonial conduct is religion, will go up to God and hear the words: "I never knew you." Then there is the man who procrastinates and the one who imagines the he knows everything he uphears the uphear of the Holy Spirit. He preached of the uphear and salvation, of falling short of the mark, and eternal destruction. He emphasized the need of real religion instead of joining the church just for prestige, etc. Little people joined the church during the day and $50.96 was collected. St. Martin's Chapel "Pleasure" was the theme of the sermon last Sunday morning by the Rev. John H. Johnson vicar of St Martin's Chapel, 122nd street and Lenox avenue, taken from the text as found in the 12th verse of Joth Palms, "In Thy presence is the fullness of joy, and at Thy right hand there is pleasure forevermore." "Pleasure is not a trivial thing," said the minister, in beginning his sermon, "it is a world wide purge runs from the deep. bass notes of the appointment from those that believe in the power of the falsethe notes of those who desire pleasure but are afraid of the quest The chord of sophisticated cynism or of deep despair is the one struck more often today. This attitude is expressed in the quotation case and an age of despair. How we should fly from this class. But we should be thankful for those who look on the brighter side—the optimists, who the they realize that life has its dark moments are coursed enough not to be discouraged, who whisper this creed. Joys are my wings. Sorrows are my spurs! "In this world," continued Mr. Johnson, "there are thousands of pursuits that give pleasure. Some are swift and sweet but these pleasures are weak and in their wake. The weakest in his pursuit of pleasure. However there are pleasures that possess quality, magnitude as well as constancy. This loth Psalm gives us the real key to the situation. It is the real killed David's jewel or notable Psalm called David's jewel or begins with a prayer, proceeds with overcoming of trouble and ends with the assurance of ultimate gain "Some of us are fortunate in being able to derive pleasure from being joyful of a task well done. But this joy of a task well done in the machine like age in which we live. However there is an abiding pleasure for all of us—that of service rendered to some else after wishiness, destroys pleasure. Again, in true companionship. We know in two kind spirits a happiness in two kind spirits that even death cannot discontinue Joy, faith and love derived from this association are divine. The church, its wishiness, its worship and its relatability, its offspring abiding pleasure Religion purifies us and strengthens us for the battle of life. What kind of a god do you worship—little god or a god was the question once asked Ingenius, a farmer who was on his way to chapel, plk the farmer answered. Both, because He is so great that the heavens cannot contain Him and He is so little untill He can occupy me the heavens are also reminded of the answer when her husband asked her what was gotten from going to chapel. She pelted. We goes up empty and we comes down full! This simple statement is a real interpretation of the thought as it is used in the text of the sermon. Flowers for the altar were contributed by Miss Meda Hope in memory of her father and mother. On last Thursday evening the St. Mary's College held its graduation exercises.

Church Our "new" pastor, Dr. Edward Ernest Tyler, was greeted by a large and enthusiastic congregation Sunday morning. It was estimated that 100 people attended into the historic edifice to greet Dr. Tyler for the eight time as pastor. This is the first time in the history of this church that one pastor has served this charge for this year. Dr. Tyler delivered a soul stirring sermon.

The Allen Christian Endeavor League met at 6:30 p.m. The president, Miss Eudoxie West, presided. The meeting was well attended. At the evening hour the pastor gave a short talk on sidelights of the annual conference. He took occasion to state that newspaper accounts relative to Bishop Jones and Sanders as pastor of Bedel Church, Manhattan, were not correct. He stated that Bishop Jones at all times has the best interest of the church at heart, and does not let personal ideas govern his appointment, but makes them for the greatest benefit of the church. It was brought out that Dr. Tyler was endorsed for bishop by the annual conference. Dr Tyler has been heralded by such men as the late Bishop Coppin and J. Albert Johnson; also, Bishops Reverdy C. Ranson, W. T. Ternon, J. A. Carey and J. A. Carey, standing scholars, ministers, administrators and organizers of this communion, and a man marked for advancement in the Church. While at Bridge Street Church his fame has spread so that he has been offered other churches and has resumed them; he also has been offered, the presidency of several colleges. With all this, Dr. Tyler has not lost the common touch or sought to "high hat" any one at any time. In the course of the evening talk he stressed three things that he wants to do in the next conference year. The first was the building of junior tier; second, the building up of the third, the building and third, reaching the undermining of the community, building up of the membership, and the rendering of a larger community service.

He came was taken from Philipians polis and he followed the life of Jesus great deacon, Sidon, who by his will to follow it the, footsteps of the master was persecuted by the oocle. Our pastor brought out that if we weren't persecuted by this world, we would not grow. In other words, persecution promotes growth. Then when we come to think that we were persecuted and that father was persecuted, and how He took it, what more do we expect? Troubles are nothing but stepping stones to higher and better things, so that is why we ought to welcome them when they come. We only promised to be with us in the sixth trouble, so that makes five we have to fight with patience and in the seventh He will in no-wise forsake us.

The rifle squad, a group of some twenty-odd upstanding young fellows, made a particularly fine showing. The school has its own rifle range, located on school property just across the State Highway, and rifles and ammunition are furnished by the state. After boys had marched away from the campus, the girls, under Miss Vivienne Hollis, physical director, gave a brilliant display of calisthenics with Indian clubs, and of formation and fancy drilling, the school band furnishing the music. Earlier, in the day there had been held a series of track races and a field met, won by the second year class. While the singing was going on, the Ironsides varsity nine played, and defeated the DeHart A. C. of Coatesville, 8 to 1. Members of all the choirs were guests of the school at dinner in the spacious dining hall after the contest. In addition to the busses which brought the singers from all sections of the state for the contest, there were a number which brought parties from other points, and besides these there were scores of private cars of all description, which brought friends and relatives of the pupils to take part in the day's celebrations. And at the day's end, Mr. Jones, head of the Auto Mechanics Department, speeded me down to Trenton in his Buick, where a Pennsylvania Railroad express tram was boarded for the 'Big City.' To him, as well as to Dr. Valentine, Mr. Granger, Mr. Work, and others of the faculty and student body, I am grateful for a surprise he well-spent day. Schubert Glee Club Sings Fine Program Before an audience that practically filled the Renaissance Casino, Edward H. Margetson, director, presented his singing group, the Schubert Glee Club, in a program of choral music on Friday evening, May 31, with Constance Beardley of Brooklyn, pianist, as the guest artist, Mr. Margetson pro- all ensemble numbers, the entire chorus of 31 women and 15 men given four groups, fourteen songs altogether, with a male chorus of nine voices singing three numbers and a women chorus of twenty-one rendering two. There was evident considerable improvement in the work of this ensemble, particularly with reference to balance and development of nuances. The bass section has made commendable improvement, giving a more substantial background to the dominating voices of the women. The tenors might be strengthened with advantage, but made a creditable showing under the circumstances. As is usually the case with chorus groups, the women furnished the outstanding singing element. There was a fine resonance in the alto section, one of the women standing out by reason of other work in the singing of Needlingers' Rock alley, which was sung by the female ensemble. The other number by this group was the Scotch air. We banks and brays of Bonnie Doon. The bassos deserve special mention for their work in the Coleridge Taylor "Viking Song" and the rollicking ditty, Rolling down to Rio, by German, unby the male chorus, Sweet and Low by Barnby was the other offering by the men, who were called on to repeat Rolling down to Rio. Some time ago we heard from the soprano section, and this was specially tuned to the incidental solo work by Rose Margatson, the duo. Her voice has mellowed and strengthened since last heard, and in obligate parts, even in forte passages, second to have no difficulty in running out clearly and thoroughly above the chorus. She was splendidly supported by a competent group some of the voices being of extra quality. The most artist, Constance Beardley, pianist, was somewhat on a disappointment. It was privately stated in examination, that she had but recently recovered from severe illness. Her offerings, however, were not of a character to display any virtuosity of accomplishment, and were not happily chosen. Three minor studies by Chopin one being the Revolutionary, were played with passable artistry as the first group, and on her second appearance she gave two modernistic compositions, "The Sunken Cathedral by Debussy," and "Little White Donkey by Ibert. The third and final number of the group was a Spanish dance, Segundilla, by Album, and its lovely theme and unopposed rhythm made it more enjoyable. One of the notable features of the program was the presentation of some live choral arrangements by Mr. Margeton. These were the songs I have sometimes sweet to tell you by Laming, My lovely, Celia by Munro-Wilson, the old English song, Drink to me only with thine eyes, MacDowell's Long ago and the Magnetto from Bizet's "Arlesienne." All presented evidence of Mr. Margeton's splended ability and were received with fine appreciation. There was perhaps a bit of over elabation in his treatment of Drink to me only with thine eyes, through the interposition of a contrapunctal obligate for soprano in a minor strain against the major chord structure of the original arrangement. Following the program, the focus was created on share and the audience enjoyed a season of dancing. A DAY AT BORDENTOWN VISITING THE MANUAL TRAINING AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL IS UNEXPECTEDLY PLEASANT One of the pleasantest experiences of a long-drawn out musical season came unexpectedly to this reviewer when he journeyed down to the Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth at Bordentown, N. J., Dr. W. R. Valentine, president, on Memorial Day, in response to an invitation from L. B. Granger, extension worker, to serve one of three judges in the sixth annual contest for Church Choirs of New Jersey, under supervision of Fred J. Work, director of music at that institution. The first pleasurable surprise came with entrance to the school ground. Situated on a high bluff overlooking the famous Delaware River, just at the point where that historic stream curves in an undulation, bend to course its rippling way past Trenton, some eight miles below there is a natural advantage in the school's location which has been enhanced and increased by the topographical and architectural improvements. At the highest point of the bluff, where is now located the principal school building, affording wide and sweeping view up and down the watercourse, there was once situated the manorial residence of the famous old naval commander, Commodore Stewart, who commanded the old warship, "Constitution," in Revolutionary war days, and who is known to history as "Old Ironides." It is told of him that whenever he tired or engaging the English war vessels along the American coast, he would sail quietly up the Delaware past Dover, Philadelphia and Camden, to his home dock and there rest quietly with his wife and family for a few days, after which he would up-anchor and again sail forth to tackle the enemy. The report has it that many noted men were, at various times, residents of the house that was built on this spot by "Old Ironsides." While the old building has long since disappeared, the structures that now are to be seen on this site, many more in number, are proper successors. Questioning Mr. Work, the information was gotten that one of the most famous landscape artists in the world was brought to Bordentown by the State of New Jersey for the task of mapping outitting schemes for the perpetuating of the natural beauty of the schools location, and well did this man do his work. He was paid a fee of $10,000, but his task included making of such plans as would take care of the natural growth of the institution for many years to come, preserving at all times a symmetrical proportion in the whole scheme as new structures are necessitated. Entering the grounds from the State Highway, which passes the schools gateway, a gravelled driveway swings past a number of cottages on the left, which house members of the faculty and their families, a right turn carries one past an emerald-hued expanse, which is one of the campuses, to a building which houses some of the mechanics of the school—the printing office, the wood working shop and the automobile repair factory. Another turn to the left, and the driveway passes the chapel, gymnasium and dining room, all in a structure which houses also the domestic economy department, then a short swing to the left again and stands at the entrance to the main building, which stands on the spot formerly occupied by the mansion where dwelt "Old Ironides." And a you stand on the steps of this building, facing back the way you came, you see over to the right the beautiful new girls dormitory, uncompleted at a cost of some $185,000. This Layout forms a rectangle, with the State Highway as an open front but a walk leading past the industrial shop, away from the commercial carries one to the splendid brick structure which is the boys dormitory. And across the way from this building, and on about the same fronting line, there is to be erected a new building to house the industrial arts—all save the auto mechanic shop, which will be retained in its present location, expanding to occupy the entire building. Left to one side, with a sweep that leads to the river, is situated the trenches and beyond is a baseball diamond, with bleacher seats. This description is but a cursory summation of the magnificent plant which the State of New Jersey is providing for education of its Negro boys and girls, and in no measure does justice to the establishment. Dr Valentine has accomplished much since coming to Borden-town and there remains much accomplishment for the future. Vincent is the choir contest forgotten, although not withstanding that a baseball game and tennis matches were being played, the chaps were unable to accommodate, even with standing room, the hosts of people who gathered to hear the musical offerings to six church groups, the program beginning at 2.30 p.m. Of the seven choirs listed to take part, six were present, with memberships that angued from trouen to fifty voices. The choirs singing, and the order in which they sang are as follows: Artists Present Fine Program Last Sunday 1 Union Temple, Atlantic City, Ferdinand Metley, leader--Gwin ne in 1028) 2 Bethany Baptist Church, Newark, P. Albert Myers, leader 3 Macedonia A M. L. Church, Camden, John H. Howard man 166 James Williams, pianist. One of the interesting recruits of the late concert season was that on Sunday, June 2, at 1 p.m. when the Bermuda Benevolent Association, of which Peter W. Brain is president, presented a group of artists in the auditorium of Grape Congregational Church, 308 West 139th street in interest of the association's building fund 1 Union Baptist Church, Montclair, John A. Hughs, leader 2 Pethel A M F Church, Montestown, Mrs. Grettede Williams leader 3 Angelic Baptist Church, Bayonne, Mrs. Maude A. Butchett leader The full program, as arranged by Mr. Work, opened with a procession of the choirs, as they marched from the gymnasium, where they a embied, to the chapel, seats being reserved in the front of the auditorium. Then came the singing of the National Negro Anthem by the named choirs and congregation. Mr. Work conducts, a sturring rendition by the invocation by one of the visiting ministers. Mr. We introduced the three judges—Paul H. Terry, choremaster, Christ Bordentown, Paul H. Fink, director of music, Bordentown The artists appearing were Mimi Brown, soprano, Gretelde Martin H. violinist, Marion Lumba cellist, Edward H. Margeson, pianist, with Andrade, Lunday, accompanist Miss Brown, whose spice seems to take on added beauty with each hearing was in super trim and sang with glorious effect. "San-tuzza" Air, the Romanaia Serena "Voi lo sapete" (Well you know, good Mother) from Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rusticana" (in Italian) as her first offering, and a group of songs in English—"Ships that pass in the night" by Gerald Eyler, "Hymn to the Night" by Campbell-Tipton, and Love's Philosophy by Quilter on her second appearance. The form of applause with which she singing was greeted brightly her back, another Italian area after the first group, and a Negro Spiritual Joshua fit de bittle of Irishish after the second. The Joshua number might have been taken with a but slower tempo. On both recalls she received beautiful floral tokens. Mary Academy (for white youth), and Linden H. White of the age then came the contest. The school committee had selected as the anthem, the chorus, "Unfold" from Gounod's oratorio, "Recognition, and each choir had been given several months for rehearsal. The judges had been asked by the committee to base their decision elements of rendition, each to have a certain percentage attack, 15, Balance, 20, Expression, 15, Precision, 15, Enu- nion, 15, General Musicianship, 20—giving 100 per cent as the pos- titionment. When the last choir had finished its rendition, the judges repaired an upper room, and it was quickly opened, upon tabulation of their final stores, that one chorus was outstanding—the Canden with an average of 74.23 per cent. The Newark choir rated with an average of 58.13. A special cup had been donated by Mr. Work to be awarded the from Burlington County that stood highest in ranking by the Ine. There were only two choirs listed that were eligible, and as the Mr. Zion A M E. Church choir of Bordentown, T. Morgan Harper leader, was not present, the cup was awarded to the Bethel from Mossington. Little Gertrude Martin has been heard a number of times but self-don has she played more unceremonially than on this occasion. There was fire and vitality in each time with her acustomed sureness in bowing and lingering With a sense of temperament unusual in art, she was added to a technical development Miss Martin won her audience by the watching magic of her art "Hippe Kati" by the Hungarian violinist, Hubay, was her first offering, and next she played a Ballade and Polonase by Veuve temps "Innocents" were decoded and given to both number, she last reported being a trunk in an arrangement of the old Lushchik The announcement as to the decision was made by Mr. White for the Lord of judges. While the judges were out, the president of the school, Dr. Valentine, introduced pastors of the churches whose chors were present whom made fitting remarks. Prior to announcement of the Lord of Bordentown Choral Club, under direction of Mr. Work, a striking rendition of the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handels, Mah, and this was followed, by special request of Mr. Terry, one of the judges, with the singing of a Negro Spiritual. The prize awards were made by Dr. Valentine, and the exercise ended with pronouncement of the benediction. A spectacular feature of the day's program immediately preceded the contest, when the cadet body of the school, forming two batches, a little squad, headed by the splendid school band, was assigned on the campus, in charge of Captain John Stull, under com- song Danny Bee Marian Umbo is one of the races most promising young art- tists. He has become a fami- ligate figure on the concert stage through numerous appearances, but it is not membered when he began his atti- tude career when an anarchist that usually makes the big decisions for most musicians, and so the exten- tion of his accomplishment is not to be measured by his years. He played two groups a sonata by Corelli and a Bach an- tist and then two charming compo- sitions by Mr. Margetson who was at the piano a Melody and a Bee- made an Allegro Appassionate by Saint Bans completed the second group with Mrs. Lunday at the piano. Mr. Umbo played with cate artistry. Mr Margeson gave two Bach numbers on his first appearance the French Suite in O Major (Allemande, Conante Sainte Satarbeande, Gajotte Ogue) and Part I of the Italian Concerto. The second appearance brought a Theuret and Variations by Paderewski. The pianist exhibited a digital dexterity that enabled him to give to his Bach interpretations a liquid smoothness that revealed their placed depths. In both the Suite and the Concerto there was evidence of intellectual comprehension coupled with sympathetic understanding of the great master's mood. The Paderewski number through his skillful manipulation, became a contagious manifoldation of pianistic ability and revealed Mr Margeson as an artist of no mean calibre. During the playing of the Bach numbers, the piano pedals became ineffective and it required use of all of the pianist's technical acquirement to overcome that handicap. He was aided to some extent by the fact that he was playing Bach compositions. At conclusion of his number the pianist the church estates and others had to prostrate themselves on the platform beneath the piano, and remedy the mechanical defect he before the program could proceed. The accompaniments for Miss Brown, Miss Martin and Mr Cumbow were played by Miss Lindsey with fine effectiveness and sympathy. Mr Bean during the intermission, put on a chord. It followed one of the drudges, to say a word concerning the Bermuda Benevolent Association, which he did most felicitously. The ushers were Roumania Pecman, Virtified Bishops Simons, Mary Stovell, Maire Simons and Florence Edmead. Car Diton Sings At Institute Graduation Carnegie Hall was well-filled on Monday night, June 3, on the occasion of the commencement exercises of the Institute of Musical Art of the Juilliard School of Music, Dr. Frank Damrosch, dean. A number of Harlemites were crested a wagon to the campus were William Duncan Allen Jr., cousin to Dr. Drarrow Allen of West 139th street, from the piano department, and Miss Dorathella Churchill Cottman of 580 St. Nicholas avenue, from the Department of Public School Music. Another point of keen interest was the appearance on the musical program of Carl Dixon, baritone, who sang the baritone solos in a vocalized version of Bruch's "Fair Allen," in which he was assnosed with enlarged hoff; with the Madrigal Choir, and the orchestra of the institute, with Dr Damrosch welding the baton. In his three solos, Mr. Ditor displayed an art of unusual attractiveness, combined with a vocal instrument of surpassing quality. There was a resonance and sonority which filled the wide reaches of the auditorium, and at the same time there was a delicacy and reinforcement to the music, tended to the Brush score. Especially fine was the brief duet with the soprano in the final phrases. The school orchestra, directed by William Willeke, the famous cellist, played the female, Allegro Con Fujon, from Doraak's Symphony, "From the New World," and the Overture to the opera "Megon," by Thomas With orchestral accompaniments, Sudekine Sukoeneg, pianist, and Carl Stirnell, graduates from the Artists Course, played the Allegro Affection movement from the Schumann Concerto in A Minor ten piano, James Friskin conducting and the Allegro Modulator movement from Jerals Concerto in A Major for the violoncello, Willeke directing, respectively George McMahon delivered the address to the graduate and Dean Damrosch presented diplomas and prize award ANDRADES LINDSAY PLAYS ORGAN RECITAL Andrade Lunday, organist at Bethany Baptist Church, Brooklyn, played a program of music for the organ at Bercen Baptist Church, that city, on May 24, supported by Harold Beckles, harpist and Angela Connannello, violinist.

Uphure Mrs. and Mrs. L Randolph Reginald Mitchell and Mr. and Mr. Heather Cummings Second Recital By Paul Creagh's Pupils R. P. OULTRAM Paul Creagh's second annual student concert was held at St Mark Hall on Friday evening May 17. The hall is not best suited for a vocal or solo performer owing to its lack of acoustic properties, but Mr. Creagh and his students deserve credit for the general excellent performance of the program. The ensemble numbers were well rendered, and Mr. Creagh, conducting, at all times had the orchestra under control as regards tempo, but experienced a little difficulty in sublining the blatance of the wood winds and saxophones, which tried to sublime the strings. Salut d'amour by bilgaf was a distinct exception as the conductor was successful in getting the students to respond to his baton, which produced an even and well-balanced condition of this number. One of the students Mr. Kirton, was programmed in a violin trio. "Berceuse from Jocelyn, and in a quartet 'Conquering Hero,' by Handel. Owing to unavoidable circumstances, Mr. birton was delayed, and Mr. Creagh substituted in his place in the trio toning Mr. Redmond and Mrs. Mather pianist and in the quartet (all string) with Messis. Redman Lee and Benjamin. The violin solo "Legende," by Wrennaski, was tunefully and well rendered by Mr. Redman. Other students participating in the program were J. Lee, saxophone "Marilyn Wiedoft; E. Benjamin violin solo 'Mustache Religion.' Thorne L. Jordan clarinet solo 'Serenade Badine. M. Eric Johnston saxophone solo. Flower Song," Lange; "Master H. Edwards, viol solo, "Lourie," Bach; C. Edwards, clarinet solo, "Romance," Mozart-Heald; Wm. Hubbard, saxophone solo, "Sax Spasm," Gurewich. Mr. Hubbard displayed brilliant technique in his solo, but if he studies long enough he will discover thata sense of tempo takes precedence over a "Bunch of notes." Mr. Creagh, himself, rendered Dvorak's "slavonic Dance" for the violin, and was forced by the audience to respond with an encore number. Miss Esther Mather was the accompanist for the entire program and deserves credit for her musicianship, as she Steered a few nervous pupils from the rocky path. Thelma Brinson,Pupils Give Musical and Tea Notwithstanding the inclement weather the musical and tea given by the Thelma Brunson Music Class at the studio, 287 Edgecombe avenue, on Sunday afternoon was a huge success.

According to A R R the Morning Mercury's music reviewer Mine Talbert's success was of such proportions as to suggest he being engaged for the next year's concert by the quartet. The singer gave a program of considerable nuetty with German French, Italian and English number, and a group of Negro Spirituals. Miss Mason played the Brahms Rhapsoide in F Flat, with Coleridge Taylor's "Bamboo" as an encore. STUDIOS OF FRANK S. BUTLER Serious and Advanced Students PIANC, HARMONY THEORY, COMPOSITION ETHEL R. DAY TEACHER OF SINGING 158 West 74th St. N. Y. City Trasalger 1069 ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS BY PERCIVAL OUTRAM Fletcher Henderson, whose reputation is widely known and respected, has had his orchestra kicked around and somewhat disrupted, it is reported, by the advent of "Horseshoe," the much-heralded and huge spectacle show said to be produced by Vincent Youmans, a white producer. The show was scheduled to open in Philadelphia on June 3 before coming to Broadway. Fletcher was given the contract to supply the music, it is alleged. His orchestra was to be augmented by 20 musicians, strings, wood wind and French horn. Fletcher, ported to have let him contract to Bert Hall to gather the additional musicians. This agreement apparently was subsequently rescinded, as not only the 20 men were recruited from the ranks of the many idling white musicians, but six men were reported dropped from Fletcher's orchestra and their places taken by white musicians. This has caused much comment among musicians, especially violinists, as they maintain the violin section could have been competently filled partially by many race violinists who are not now employed. They concede that there was no race conductor on the horizon capable of conducting this large show—Allie Ross being at present engaged with blackbirds in Deny, engaged with a dog in contract to Zion field, and Will Mionn Cook having the position with "Horseshoes" of chorus conductor. No complaint is heard, therefore, of the selection of a white man as conductor of the show Fletcher, as is well known, has no experience above the show line as conductor. But the whisper is that for some months Fletcher had been taking-expert tuition in the conductor's art. But no one can censure the management of "Horseshoes" for withholding the baton from Fletcher's grasp under the existing conditions. Experience is a necessary factor to conductorship. So many versions are floating around us touching the exit of nearly half of Fletcher's men from the 32-piece combination that it is somewhat difficult to separate the chaff from the grain be "Jarshall, familiarly known as Kauser," who has been with Fletcher as drummer nearly since the inception of Fletcher's fame, claims that he quit of his own accord, not being amenable to the conditions of the outfit, and not because he could not read music as a pianist, been a keen reader and has been a music reader for sometime. A white drummer and tympan player was given "Kauser's" seat. Louis Armstrong was supposed to be first concertist in the orchestra, and Russell Smith, second concertist. In fact, it is alleged they were so seated at a rehearsal, and after a number had been played, either Dr. Felix, who is said to have arranged or composed the music, or the conductor, is alleged to have told Armstrong to change chairs with Smith. This placed Russell as first trumpet, Armstrong second. The number was replaced and the decision was made that Armstrong was not adapted to the show business and his seat was declared vacant. Russell was retained as first trumpet. "Kaiser" says Armstrong quit the show business because in the whole show only one number was given Armstrong to play a "hot" chorus, and Armstrong figured the imitation might seriously affect his maintenance his capabilities. Louis Armstrong is back in New York from Chicago. This time he has a band of his own Carroll Dickerson is the conductor of Louis' orchestra. He shows aptitude and musical knowledge in his conductorship. In addition to a marked degree of showmanship, which seems to be necessary in dance orchestras of today, Mr. Dickerson also sings with the orchestra and plays a tuneful violin. Armstrong's orchestra was booked at the Saxon Ballroom on Saturday and Sunday, June 1 and 2. This was his second engagement at the Saxon, but the first time he and his band were engaged as a unit. A record crowd turned out to The Hall Johnson Chon will make their last public appearance in Harlem for the season on July 1, at Renaissance Hall, for the New York Federation of Women's Clubs. Benjamin J. Ragsdale bartone solost in St. James Church choir, and Ruth Beatriee Waters pianist, are presenting a diversified program of vocal compositions and music for the pianistiat at Imperial Hall on Sunday, June 9 at 1:30 p.m. with Carl Dixon as accompanist, the affair being under management of Hall Johnson. Alfred N. Suns presented his pupils at Grace Congregational Church on Tuesday evening, May 28, in his second annual musical contest. Miss Gettrude Clark, 203 West 148th street, and Miss Altaia Dusney, 204. Seventh avenue, won the first and second prizes in grade three respectively. Miss Jennifer Lilly, 200 West 148th street and Miss Ruby Carr, 250 West 129th street won the first and second prizes, respectively, in grade two. HARRY PRAMPIN LAURA SCHOOL OF MUSIC Most Progressive School In Harlem 131 WEST 136th STREET New York City Telephone Audubon 1987 dance, listen and enjoy. Many musicians of both races were present to welcome Louis and his orchestra. Fess Williams and his orchestra are reported to have made a big jump to New York to hear Louis and his band. Fess is working on the road, filling engagements from town to town, and left Monday for New Haven. Many groups of white musicians were on the sidelines, listening to the band. In one group was composed out an individual alleged to be "Red" Nicholas, an en-member of Paul Whiteman's orchestra, a regular performer on WEAP, and a trumpet player so much in demand that he refuses to confine himself to an aggregation, "Red," an on-looker, was as enthusiastic of Loula efforts as the dancers on the floor, and his hand-clapping was loud and insistent. Louis orchestra, said to be playing together for seven years, showed excellent capabilities. The sessions understood each other and were remarkable. In their coordination. Particular stress might be placed on the saxophone acting as every leader knows it is not an easy task to get a sax section to work and blend together. One of the three players will try to show individuality, or overblow one of the other saxos—to the ruination of an even well-balanced result. Louis' three saxes were a distinct pleasure to hear, even blowing and phrasing alike—in fact, unanimity was their watchword The saxophone section had a somewhat unusual feature. Every band in the East seems to have the first or second E Flat alto sax, or both, as "get-off" men—not so in Louis' band. At no time did either alto sax take "a chorus" or "get-off." This seemed reserved for the B Flat tenor, who "took" many choruses Sunday night and displayed an abundance of technique. Placeing of the banjo player between the tuba and drum caused comment, as sitting in line with these two players nullified the banjoist's efforts. But Louis, figuratively skipping up and down the guit of his trumpet, awakened wild outbursts of applause more than one occasion on Sunday night, dancers and spectators insisted, not on a mere score, but on a repetition of the particular piece just concluded. Conductor Dickerson would start a new number, dancers would refuse to dance, but applauded vigorously until the number was repeated. Louis Armstrong's style of trumpet pet playing is somewhat different from the ordinary jazz player. Using a mute, occasionally a small megaphone inserted at the bell of his trumpet, he eschews the tin gallah, plunger and other devices of the "gut bucket" player. No sounds emanate from his trumpet. He relics on technical interrelations, trills and octaves rhythmically applied. Playing in altissimo in his forte and it is said he never misses, as can be vouched for by a member of the "Vendome" orchestra Chichele. Louis and this other musicians were playing for the pictures. In an overture Louis made high F. This caused a bet to be made that Louis would miss this F at some performance, but Louis won because he never missed. Armstrong also sings with the on- chestra Judging from his hoarse- ness. Sunday, the crowd must have worked him pretty hard on Satur- day. Yet he succeeded in getting his houses over. He seems a hard and contious worker who loves and glories in his work and is not pursue to teamwork when the occa- cion demands it Phone Bradhurst 3957 Violin, Piano, Ensemble 66 West 140th Street N.

But as we see it, the porters may be able to get mills always prevail as a part in all classes of services us: the Brotherhood of Pullive Association have both certain aspirations of the Pullman as we see it, they are trying Out of the depths of dear Old Virginia, once famous for its to- hoe and its aristocracy, comes this item of news: "Roanoke, May 11 (A. P.)—Objection to porters having control of Pullman service and approval of the proposed State Park in Tidewater Virginia were the last subjects to come before the Virginia division of the Travelers' Protective Association which closed its thirty-eighth annual convention here this afternoon." The item appeared under the caption, "Pullman Porters Requested By T. P. A.," and was published in the leading newspapers of the state. This piece of information would indicate that there is a movement on foot to eliminate porters operating "in-charge" of Pullman cars—for the phrase "having control of Pullman service" means nothing more than the custom of porters having charge of Pullman service on trains which do not carry more than one Pullman car. It also involves other than local prejudices back of this movement. The first question that comes to mind on reading this bit of activity is, What is the big idea? What has the Pullman porter running "in-charge" to do with the interests of the membership of the Travelers' Protective Association? Considering the State's racial sentiments regarding the Negro, an answer to the question is not difficult to find. But, seemingly, there are motives more than local prejudices back of this movement. While Virginia, like all southern states, has enacted some frightful laws against its black citizens in the last decade or so, it has, nevertheless, been favorably disposed towards these citizens as servitors. True enough, its glory, like Greece's, has long since departed. No more may it boast of its illustrious statement and of its commanding wealth The Old Dominion of today is merely a shell of its former self Still, for all of that, it retains some of its former aristocratic way. As a servitor, the Negro is preferred to the white man. Therefore, operating a Pullman car "in-charge" doesn't present the question of racial equality to the average white Virginian as it does, perhaps, to the average white southerner, say, as in Alabama, Florida or Texas. So, the motives behind the movement in Virginia may not be described to racial feelings There are other reasons, which may be traced to one of two sources, or to both, working in collusion. One of these sources has been named as the Brotherhood of Pullman Conductors. When the quoted item was shown to a Negro supervisor of the Pullman service, whose duties take him down South, he said "I know all about that The Pullman conductors are behind that movement." The Negro supervisor may be right in his idea, then, again, he may not In starting propaganda in Virginia against the porter operating in-charge," both the conductors and the traveling men might have a motive. With the travelers the motive seems to be retaliation. With the conductors it is an economic matter. Every porter that runs in-charge knocks a conductor out of a job. But with the members of the Travelers Association, the "in-charge" porter has no relation to their interests, other than to serve them. Their activity in the case, seems clearly a case of trying to get back at the Pullman Company through its porters. In this movement were to succeed and the job of "in-charge" porters abolished, the sufferer in the end will be the porters. On most of these "in-charge" lines, the travel is light, which, of course, make tips correspondingly so. The one advantage to the porters is that these lines pay from twenty to twenty-five dollars more a month than lines having conductors. It is all right enough to the labor idealist to say the company should pay the porter so he should not have to depend on tips. Literally, he is right. And if the Pullman service were in its infancy, like the radio and the airplane, this advocacy of a living wage and no tips might have some chance. But as we see it, the system is too firmly entrenched. The porters may be able to get more wages from time to time, but the tip will always prevail as a part of their wage increment, the same as it does in all classes of service of this sort. And this reminds us: the Brotherhood of Pullman Conductors and the Travelers' Protective Association have both been cited as being sympathetic with certain aspirations of the Pullman porters. Perhaps, they are. But as we see it, they are trying to place the porter in the middle. NOT SURPRISING Chicago regarding the lack of recent porters' wage conferrionious atmosphere that have been surprising to any you can't stir up a fish pond in shoals we know of no group of N their industrial brothers or the interests of the minor subservient to the interests philosophy doesn't work that you cannot expect to gather years and have them in record would hardly be expo skilled in the art of negot The tidings from Chicago regarding the lack of agreement among the delegates at the recent porters' wage conference as to what they wanted, and the inharmonious atmosphere that prevailed during the sessions should not have been surprising to anyone. To begin with, you can't stir up a fish pond, and then expect the fish to swim around in shoals. In the next place, we know of no group of Negroes, whether they want to represent their industrial brothers or their fraternal brethren who believe that the interests of the minority (which are usually the favored few) are subservient to the interests of the majority. No brother Eph's philosophy does not work that way. In the third place, you cannot expect to gather men together once in every three or four years and have them function with any degree of unison. Such concord would hardly be expected among men of mind, who are skilled in the art of negotiating agreements for their constituency. The fact that there was more wrangling and bickering, according the Chicago report in The Age, than in previous years was nothing strange. They bicker and wrangle at these fraternal conventions, and are held once a year. Although it can be said, before the convention is over, the "big Stick" usually brings the wranglers in line. But all the blame for the indecision of the delegates as to what they wanted cannot be laid absolutely to them. The employees they represented cannot just as much as fault as the representatives. The most the average porter thinks is necessary for these confer- there is to select someone. That the someone will get him a few more days a month, is the extent of his active interest Before going to the conference, Tom Griffin, to the knowledge of the reporter begged the porters in his district (The Grand Central) to know what part of the existing agreement they thought was changed, and other matters to do with their employment.

It would be a good idea for the Pulli to have head porters the same as the trains which carry nine and ten cars of conductor, who is supposed to supervise place passengers and see that each person at one and the same time. "Creating the job of her porter went to the ambition porter, but it rested such tails and delinquency as about the recent order among the New. According to the ex-veterans suggest made accountable for the service of all fact the head porter would be on the water a new position the Pennsylvania drivers, is on the dining table. Discussing the no sit order on the New Haven Railroad, with a former porter the other day, he advanced an idea regarding supervision of the porters that has a heft of constructive thought to it. It would be a good idea for the Pullman Company, said the speaker, "to have head porters, the same as the hotels. On those Pullman trains which carry nine and ten cars it is impossible for the Pullman conductor, who is supposed to supervise the service, to look after fares, place passengers and see that each porter is in his job to do these things at one and the same time." "Creating the job of head porter would not only serve as an incentive to the ambition porter, but it would have a tendency to correct such faults and delinquency in service as those which brought about the recent order among the New Haven men. According to the ex veteran's suggestion, the head porter would be made accountable for the service of all the porters on his train. In fact the head porter would be on the Pullman car what the head water a new position the Pennsylvania Railroad has inaugurated on its diner, is on the dining car. The suggestion has real merit to it.

ULLMAN PORTERS SERVICE HELD ON SUNDAY EVENING Myssinian Pastor Gives Praise To Group Which Has "Difficult" Job By JAMES H. HOGANS To an audience that filled New Abyssinian Baptist Church, reli- gious home of Harlem's wealthiest Negro, congregation, on the last Sun- day evening, June 2, the story of the remarkable growth of the Pull- man "Porters" Benefit Association of America was told The story sounded more like a chapter from Aladdin's Lamp, in the "Arabian Nights" tales, or an imagic door from the movie "Mira- dio, down from Get-Rieh-Quack" Wallingford, than an actual ac- tual accomplishment of everyday life. From not even the ownership of a lead pencil in 1921, the year of its reorganization, in eight years the association has accumulated nearly a quarter million dollars, of which $200,000 has been paid out in sick and death benefits in and around the vicinity of New York City alone. The total payments for the eight year period, which include claims in all the Pullman districts, have amounted to $1,210,044.32. The occasion that disclosed this meteoric growth and phenomenal achievement was the eight annual memorial service of the organization, held under auspices of locals in the New York, Penn Terminal and New Jersey districts. The relater was P A Sample, welfare worker in the P T district and—take it from the Roy A Clayton Powell, the church's pastor—for, pose, coherence, unity and emphasis, the relation was well well matchless. Economic Phases of Work Although the audience numbered BELL close to two thousand persons, only about a fourth of these were members of the association. Oldly enough, it was the non-members from whom most of the applause came, when Mr. Sample told of the number of Negroes that were employed by the Pullman Company as skilled mechanics in its various shops throughout the country, and that this employment was secured mostly through the offices of the P. P. B. A. But the applause didn't stop there. It was even greater when he cited the amount of money that the organization carried well-known men in Chicago. This he told the audience was the way the association was trying to help the Negro to help himself. He also told his hearers of the fair and unbiased feelings which the late Pullman president, E. F. Carry, entertained toward members of the Negro group. Pullman Porters Aim To Please Mr. Sample was followed by Rev. Dr Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Church. Dr. Powell, who is famed for his dynamic personality and felicitous versatility, as well as his theological attaintments, prefaced his sermon by intimating that the association's treasury had the earmarks of a fairy tale. This allusion, of course, was merely a pun of his But S. J. Freeman, who was the master of ceremonies of the program, apparently took him seriously, for he slipped the treasury listings into the speaker's hand. The act brought smiles from the audience. The minister also complimented the porters on having a member of their group who could deliver their achievements with the poise and clearness with which Mr. Sample had. None Reach The Pinnacle Interpersing his theme, which was "The Ambition To Please God," and which amn he declared, every man should possess, with the everyday homeliness of life, the speaker said that none of us ever teaches our goal in this life to be a certain amount of satisfaction by having some point of amn. It was in illustrating, the virtues of amn TO BE JUNE BRIE MARY OVERTON BULLOCK Mary Overton Bullock To Marry William James Montclair, N. J—Miss Mary Overton Bullock, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Bullock, well known citizens of this city, will be married to William Edward James on Wednesday, June 12 at 8:30 p.m. at the Union Baptist Church Rev J. C. Love will perform the ceremony. The bride, who is popular in the younger social sets, is a graduate of the Montclair High School and is a bookkeeper and stenographer At the present time she is employed in the law office of Attorney W. P Allen of Newark, N. J The groom is employed by the J. Harris Shoe Company Miss Virginia L. Bullock, sister of the bride, will be made of honor and Misses Esther Brown and Florence Holembel, bridesmaids Kenneth Hampton will be best man and Dinner Lancaster and Charles H. Bullock, Jr. will be ushers. The couple will make their home at 14 Race Street, Bloomfield, N.J. that he said that his experiences, while traveling around the country, convinced him of the earnest desire or the average Pullman portter to please. He further declared that next to preachers, Pullman porters had the most difficult and trying jobs to please all of those whom they were called upon to serve. The other speaker was J. A. Ruttenhouse, superintendent of the New York and allied district Mr. Ruttenhouse, remarks were sent to the porters requesting that the audience bow their head in attention to the who had passed to the great beyond during the past year. Musical Numbers Good The musical numbers on the programme were exceptionally good this year. There were just enough of them not to clutter the exercises. Of this part of the services, special mention might be made of the troubadour's show I Robinson, a member of the Pullman Porters Ensemble. I likewise, not to be left unsaid were the wonderful direction of the band under the leadership of the always true and handsome bandmaster Laret J W Porter, the spot and span appearance of the players, and the untiring zeal of its manager the perennially youthful Edward I Hort. And, as a final compass of the dessert at the concert, the comma was saved by the Havers Light Quartet. It had a South district. Unfortunately, it has a criticism of the audience must be indulged in here. No mans are not some for laughter. However, taken in its entirety, the exercises were flawless. Any Pullman portter who was present and, whose heart didn't swell with pride at the evening's program, has little heart in an ambition, and it may be said, is an ode to intellectual licence.

At the morning service a large number of persons of all ages were fellowshippped into ful church membership, following the sermon by Rev. James B Adams. The pastor took a familiar story, that of Joseph and his brethren, but preached a new sermon, bringing out the ex- knowledge, Joseph's influence and knowledge, of the severe loss of conscience laid upon his brethren. In speaking of sin, he said that sin fills Kings County pals and reformatories, runs the court houses and pays the police.
