GREENTHAL AND THE "UNTHINKING NEGRO"
I was an onlooker at the designation convention held Monday night at the Central Republican Club of the 19th Assembly. For the first time in my life I actually was ashamed of being a Negro. I saw white men and women, one after another, signify their belief in white leadership by voting for Abraham Grenthal for the Assembly. I saw colored men and women, one after another, signify their preference for white leadership and their opposition to one of their own by voting for Abraham Grenthal and against Francis E. Rivers.
What touched me most was the hero-worshipping attitude some of the colored women displayed in making known their great admiration for Grenthal. Some of them pose as "leaders representing Negro womanhood." They certainly don't represent Negro manhood. What a spectacle they made of themselves! Nowhere in America could a group of white women be found to publicly fuss and yell in public for any colored candidate.
Abraham Grenthal insulted the race by referring to us as the "unthinking Negro," which was a true insight into his real opinion of our people. I think it was a Mr Webb who yelled: "We will show you in the Primaries if we are to be regarded as unthinking any longer."
Grenthal wants to go to the Assembly for the sixth time. Yet he would deny Fred R. Moore, the most valuable public servant in Harlem, a second term in the Board of Aldermen. And all because Alderman Moore refuses to take off his hat, go crawling on his belly to Grenthal, ask for a nomination in a district overwhelmingly colored, and also declare against race leadership.
As for George Harris, the perennial candidate for any and every thing in any and all Harlem districts, he is about the only Negro who would talk about Negro leadership and then make a deal with Grenthal to further his own interests. The less said of him the better.
There were Negro men and women who courageously stood up for race leadership at the convention, as was shown by the close vote. This type of citizen, with hundreds of other "unthinking Negroes," will be heard from in the Primary in September. They will put Harlem in a takeable light before the world by nominating Charles W. Fillmore for leader, Francis E. Rivers for the Assembly and Fred R Moore for the Board of Aldermen.

"Numbers" Banker Kills Man In An Argument Over "Hit"
Jeremiah King, 28 years old of 72 West 142nd street was shot to death about 9:30 Monday night at 141st street and Seventh avenue. The police are seeking "Easy" Dawkins, 38, an alleged "numbers" banker, who is said to have fired the shots.
The wife of the slain man is alleged to have played 15 cents on the Clearing House numbers; with her number won. She sent her husband to collect the money but Dawkins, the alleged banker, refused to pay off. King told Dawkins, as he left that he intended to kill. The two men met again later in the prison. Dawkins drew the draw first, three shots. One of the shots hit King in the left side and this proved fatal. He died two hours later in Harlem Hospital. Dawkins was able to get away before the police arrived at the scene of the crime.

Alderman Moore and Attorney Rivers To Fight Nomination In September Primaries-Change In 19th Assembly District Badly Needed
Through the unscrupulous and tricky methods employed by Assemblyman Abraham Grenthal, Alderman Moore was turned down for designation as the Republican candidate for re-election to the Board of Aldermen from the 19th District on Monday night, August 5. George W. Harris, former Alderman, and editor of The New York News, was designated as the aldermanic candidate after a close fight, while Mr. Grenthal was designated for renomination to the Assembly for the sixth time, winning over Attorney Francis E. Rivers by eight votes.
Both Alderman Moore and Attorney Rivers announced to the county committeeemen and voters present at the Central Republican Club that they would contest the nomination in the September primaries.
Last fall, when considerable opposition developed against the continual reelection of Mr. Grenthal, in the district overwhelmingly colored, the promise was made that 1920 would be Grenthal's last year in the Assembly and that he would give way to a colored man this term.
the Board of Elections list. These names were challenged by both Col. Charles W. Fillmore and Michigan C. Brown, but despite these and numerous other protests, the presiding officer allowed them to be counted.
Ruth Jones Named Grenthal On the motion of William J. McCarthy
Grenthal Broke Pledge
Mr. Grenthal not only broke this pledge by simply announcing that he had changed his mind, but he used all the chiccanery in his power to develop opposition to the renomination of Alderman Moore. His opposition to the Alderman was that he (Moore) had not been subservient to him as leader of the district.
As usual Negroes were pitted against each other and false issues raised. All kinds of promises were made for the support of Grenthal and his ticket, but despite the fact that the machinery of the organization was in Grenthal's hand, he was able to master a majority of only eight votes for himself and his candidate for Alderman, and some of the votes caused that he will be challenged. The meeting was called to order at 9:30 by Mr. Grenthal, who announced that the purpose was to designate candidates for the Assembly and Board of Aldermen. Trouble began when five names were read by Miss Ruth Jones, secretary, as members of the county committee which were not on
the Board of Elections list. These names were challenged by both Col. Charles W. Fillmore and Michigan C. Brown, but despite these and numerous other protests, the presiding officer allowed them to be counted.
Ruth Jones Named Grenthal.
On the motion of William J. McGruder, nomination speeches were limited to five minutes and seconding speeches to 3 minutes.
In placing the name of Mr. Grenthal before the convention, Miss Ruth Jones recited his record and declared that he had always been the friend of the tenth district.
This nomination was seconded by Dr. Israel Fünnberg and by Mrs. Hattie Johnson.
Harold Fosteren, a young white lawyer, placed Mr. Rivers in nomination. After reciting the history of Mr. Rivers' life—that he was born in Kansas, educated in the public schools of Washington, D.C. at Yale University, Harvard and Columbia Law Schools and after telling on his splendid war record overseas, the speaker declared that Rivers was in every way qualified for his position and urged that one man he not permitted to monopolize this job.
Addresses seconding the nomination of Mr. Rivers and highly commending him to the voters, were made by Former Deputy Attorney General of New York, C. T. A.

PACIFIC COAST ELKS PLEDGE SUPPORT TO CASPER HOLSTEIN
California Sends Strong Letter Of Endorsement of Casper Holstein's Candidacy For Head of Elks' Order
Declaring that self-interest and aggrandisement have been the motives actuating the present administration in the Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. E. of W., to a dictatorship assuming to be greater than the laws of the Order, W. J. Wheaton of San Francisco, Cal., has written to Casper Holstein, candidate for the grand exalted ruler's chair in opposition to J. Finley Wilson, present head, pledging the Pacific Coast delegates to support the New York
Mr Wheaton declares, that the plATFORM on which Mr. Holstein is basing his campaign should appeal to every unselfish lover of the Order, and that the task undertaken "to unloose the talons of the harpies" is a gigantic one." Continuing, he writes" that "the politicians fattening at the table and sycophants who 'enshrine' themselves in the vestments of fraternalism will leave no stone unturned to maintain their hold."
A Manly Campaign.
Mr. Wheaton's letters is as follows

Casper Holstein, Esq.
New York. N. Y.
My dear Mr. Holstein
Your manly campaign to redeem Elkdom from the tenacious grasp of mendacious political control has reawakened the old spirit of traternal brotherhood of the life of the Order. Out there on the Pacific Coast, candidacy has caused us to a gleam of hope that the dictatism which has assumed to be greater than the law of the Order is deftrooned, and that we may returned to the old order of undeviation which animated maternal activities prior to the methods of the present

to humanity been more nec-
cidental growth and
convenience of our be-
lief than now. We hope
we are out of the spirit which
did the work of Atkins,
Wilson, Scott, McMechen and
L. former leaders.
We can never forget the sub-
scription and self-effacement
that has caused the names of
Bates Carter, 'Dick' Morris, 'Bil-
be Staunton, and the 'Old Guard'
of Eldom to be loved and revered.
When self-interest repealed the one-year limitation as tenure of the exalted office it uncorked the bottle that held the evil. Genii of our Order. We warned against it at Newark, N. J. We said then that we were loosing a condition which it would be hard to control. We warned then that the 'harpies of partisan politics would sink their beaks and talons into the fraternity and tear out the heart of 'Brotherly Love.' Self-interest has been the ruling passion. The dictatorial pathway of relentless勾心勾脑 has been strenued with broken promises. They have arragged to themselves the right to determine the meaning of the constitution, and have assumed authority to interpret them as fitted their personal desires. Working under that, assumed power, a system of bribery, unworthy of fraternalism, has been evolved that has been used to perpetuate the hold on office.
A Disgraceful Episode.
Vote-buying has been done by padding committees until they were cumbersome. Committees which could properly function with a membership of five or seven, were increased to a membership of 25 or 40 at $7.50 per day per man. This system of using the finances of the Order for perpetuity of office has been one of the reign disgraceful episodes in the recent present regime. They have sought the face hedge of sacredness about them by the enactment of a seditionary law that seeks to prevent adverse criticism.
In fact they have sought to have a saraatz glow to the Augan heap of perfidity. The ruthless manner used by the leader and his cohorts to override the rules and obliterate the law has become a weapon in the nostrils. We are praying for a release from the grasp of this regime of personhood and embodiment. We dedicate our spirit that urged the former leader to establish the foundation without which the superstructure is now maintained, and not stand.
Watching Splendid Fight.
hot body, where the Pacific
sounds its diapason, and snow clod
peaks smile in the glorious sun-
light where vile men and sag-
moid women sit in that shall be common

We fully understand the machinations that it will be necessary to combat. We admire the fearlessness with which you have entered the iniquitous den of 'fraternal' perfidy and dragged out the pernicious carrion
"With a change in the administration of our fraternal affairs there will reurn the old zest of fraternal spirituality which used to make our annual convenings a feast of good fellowship. The contests for office were conducted under the rules of good sportsmanship. If there was a wound it healed so quickly that no scar remained as a reminder of contest.
The platform on which your campaign 'is based should appeal to every unselfish lover of the Order. The task undertaken by you to unloose the talons of the 'harpies' is a gigantic one. The ramifications of the machine are far-reaching, the politicians fattening and the sycamores who 'enshrine' themselves in the vestments of fraternism will leave no stone unturned to maintain their hold. Holders of useless positions will be loath to lose their monetary steward.
Can Count on the West.
"All these things must be overcome before the gleam of fraternal light can break through. We are looking forward to that day when we can sing 'Auld lang syne' with the sincerity of heart which used to characterize the annual gatherings of former years. Count on us men of the West to give you that, support which comes from loyal hearts. We who may be unable to give you our votes in the convention assure you their moral support.
"Knowing that your courage to fight for the right, and the dauntless attitude taken for the restoration of fraternal will carry you to victory, we are looking forward to the coming of the better day in the annals of our fraternal life.

SERVED SENTENCE, IS ARRESTED FOR DOUBLE MURDER Jailed As Fence, Thomas Cooper Is Held For 8-Mos. Old Crime
Special to The New York Age.
-Boston, Mass., When Thomas L. Cooper, 26, of Cainden street, stepped off the boat Saturday afternoon from Deer Island, where he had served six months for receiving stolen property, he was arrested by Inspectors' Taylor and Derrickoll of the police department and charged with the double murder of William Stuart and Mrs. Eliza J. Brown, both colored, whose crushed bodies were found hidden under leaves in the woods in Lunenburg, November 28, 1928. When he was arrested, Cooper protested his innocence of the affair to the policeman, but was taken to police headquarters, where he again protested his innocence to Superintendent Crowley
When Cooper was told that the woman had been last seen alive with him, he shrugged his shoulders and said that he was positive about what he thought of the crime about the man and woman. He seemed to be wholly unconcerned
in what was going on and showed not the slightest trace, of interest or curiosity when he was told "that Worcester, Count of the county, jury, after adultery indicted him, grandfather had returned a bill against him for the murder of both persons.
The prisoner was turned, over to Lieutenant McCarthy of the state police and taken to Worcester, where he was held without bail.
Randolph At Bryn Mawr Summer School
A. Philip Randolph, president and general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, spoke at the summer school of Bryn Mawr College, on "The Negro in Organized Labor," Saturday, August 3rd.
After the address, questions were asked for one-half hour, touching on every aspect of the subject. The colored girl students at Bryn Mawr participated in the discussion and showed great interest in the question of the Negro worker in organized labor.
"It was interesting to note that a few years ago, colored girls were not admitted to Bryn Mawr at all and that the change in policy was largely due to the white girl students in summer school as well as agitation from the colored Y. W. branches," said Mr. Randolph.
The Bryn Mawr faculty was apparently interested in the colored student group. z

SOUTHERNER ARRAIGNS SOUTH.
Dr. Edgar W. Knight, professor of education at the University of North Carolina, aroused consternation in an audience of some three thousand Southern educators and students of Columbia University, on the occasion of the "stunt" night of the Southern club, when he arraigned the South for "bragging too much" and doing too little for education. Dr. Knight is considered one of the most prominent educators of the South. He is a member of the American Historical Association, the American Academy of Political and Social Science, the National Educational Association and other learned societies.
Some time ago, Dr. Knight was hissed by an audience at the University of Virginia and attacked by the editors of many Southern newspapers for his persistence in bringing to light the deficiencies of the Southern states in affording educational facilities. In his speech before the Southern club, he arraigned the South for its laziness and illiteracy. He asserted that the blight of illiteracy had spread to wide areas, one-tenth of the population of a Southern state that ranks as a leader in agriculture and material progress, being sheer illiterates. He also said that in the matter of public libraries the South is at the bottom of the list.
It was held that the average Southerner is not yet willing to walk a mile for a book, whatever he may be willing to do for a cigarette. The average spent for public library service per capita in the whole country is thirty-three cents, but in the South it ranges from eighteen cents in Florida to four cents in North Carolina and two cents in Mississippi. The country as a whole has one bookstore for every 18,500 people. North Carolina has one for every 40,600 and Alabama has one for every 71,000 people. This is a measure of the illiteracy of that section, which the speaker deplored.
It was estimated by Dr. Knight that nearly half a million white children in the Southern states are without high school facilities. Studies made in one representative state showed that its high school graduates are less well educated than first year students in states with advanced school systems. And yet he claimed that the Southern states are wealthy, and that they are able to have any kind of schools that they want.
The denial, of educational facilities in order to keep the Negro down has seemingly reacted against the South as a whole and blighted its educational progress generally. Until the South generally appreciates the advantages of education, both races will continue to suffer from the lack of proper facilities for the training of youth. North Carolina appears to have made the greatest progress of any of these states of late years, as shown by the increase of value of school property in that state from one million in 1900 to one hundred millions at present.
It needs some hold talker like Dr. Knight to startle the South out of its complacent attitude toward the denial of educational facilities to the present generation. But justice will not be done until equal educational facilities are provided for all children of school age, regardless of race or color.
A FIGHT ON THE LEVEL.
With the designation of Congressman LaGuardia, by the almost unanimous vote of the unofficial Republican city convention, the fight for the mayoralty of New York started in earnest. According to the candidate, it is to be a fight on the level, with the assurance that Tammany Hall will know that it has been in a fight before the campaign has ended. Mr. LaGuardia's reputation as a political fighter is such as to make this no idle boast. He sought to make his meaning clearer by the following little kneedote, which he told after thanking the delegates for the nomination:
"Most they do not understand, let me repeat a story in the argot of the organization. The prizeflight business was dull. Jim Corbett and McCoy were out of work. Somebody threw a stone through Kid McCoy's window. He was informed that Corbett had done it, and a grudge fight was started. The promoters thought the fight
was found for McCoy, but when Corbett stopped into the ring and they shook hands he said to McCoy, "Kid, I'm sorry, but this fight is on the level."
"Jimmy Walker, this fight is on the levell." The reason we are going to win, is that good government in this city who want good government than there are who want what we have."
With LaGuardia entered as the Republican candidate, Mayor Walker sure of the nomination for a second term, and ex-Mayor Hylan still a possibility as an independent candidate, the coming municipal contest is bound to bring interesting developments. It seems to be a contest in which party titles and designations will mean little to the thinking voter: The average party-man will vote for the candidate designated by his party, but the large class of voters who are looking for better city government will study the records of the three men named, and choose the one who seems best fitted to do the housecleaning requisite now and then in the best ordered cities.
Extravagance and waste are the chief defects charged against the present administration. The Republican spokesmen were caustic in their denunciation of the shortcomings of Mayor Walker, who was hailed derisively as "Jimmy the Jester." He was accused by the chairman of the convention, General Harbord, of giving New York jazz for judgment, postponement for punctuality, wise cracks for wisdom and indiscretion for industry. Emory R. Buckner, former United States Attorney, accused the Mayor of gross neglect of his official duties, of arriving late, thinking late and acting late, when he acted at all. And yet neither of these two eminent Republicans could be induced to accept the nomination and save the city from the misrule of which they complained so eloquently. That was left for Representative LaGuardia.
It cannot be said that any one of the three candidates for mayor of New York is unknown to the voters. Their personality and their official acts have been widely heralded for the past twelve years. Each one of them has come into close contact with the people of Harlem, and shown by his words and acts the manner of man he is. It may be as well admitted now as later, that they are all free from bias of race or color and disposed to give all the people a fair deal in public affairs. That is a great deal to be thankful for. Neither one of them is deficient in ability or the courage to voice and carry out his policy in this regard. The people of Harlem received many public benefits under both the Hylan and Walker administrations, to which of course they were entitled. They would probably fare as well with Mr. La-Guardia as Mayor.
Whether any one of these candidates measures up to the full stature of what a Mayor of New York ought to be is a moot question. The answer seems to be that New York will not get the sort of mayor and government that it deserves, until its voters set a higher standard in this respect.
EQUAL ACCOMMODATIONS.
According to an article in the Nation, the "Jim Crow" laws of North Carolina were recently invoked to force the bus lines of that state to transport passengers regardless of their race. The busses before that were closed vehicles so far as Negroes were concerned. A Negro in Asheville, for instance, who wished to visit his folks in Raleigh or seek work in Cumberland county, could either go in a motor car, if he had one, or if there was a train going in that direction secure a seat in the jimcrow car. Lacking these two means of travel, he would have to walk, although there might be a bus going directly to the place he wanted to reach.
This injustice brought about a movement in which prominent whites of the interracial commission took part, who knew that the jimcrow law required all common carriers to provide separate compartments for white and black passengers. They applied to the State Corporation Commission for an order to the bus lines to make such provision. 'The commission avoided the issue by denying that it possessed jurisdiction. The interracial organization then went to the courts and secured a ruling from Judge Barnhill that bus lines were common carriers and must provide equal, but separate, accommodations for white and Negro passengers.' The Nation concluded:
For years persons believing in justice for the Negro have objected to "Jim Crow" laws. The protests started in 1881 when Tennessee passed the first measure requiring separate compartments or coaches on railways for the two races. Other Southern States soon enacted similar laws to separate the two races on trains and steamboats, in cafes, in restaurants and theatres, and sometimes even cities and towns. Protests against these laws have continued, in some cases going into the courts, but to no avail. Even the United States Supreme Court has approved the constitutionality of the "Jim Crow" laws. This court held that where equal accommodation were provided, separate accommodations were not illegal discriminations. Today certain liberal-minded Southerners have seized upon this for the benefit of the Negro. They are not
erate in marketing and purchasing supplies. Such movements should be multiplied and stimulated into further activity, so as to share in such benefits as may accrue from the policies inaugurated by the Federal Farm Board. DER'S FORUM

Approves Editor Moore's Fighting For The Race
Editor of The New York Age: I've just finished reading your letter under date of July 25 to Mr. A. Greenthal on the Negro leadership question, where the numerical strength of the Negro obtains. Of course, your straightforward and four-square attitude regarding that question, as all others affecting the well-being of our group, abroad as well as at home, is no surprise. You cannot be different. You are not built of questionable material. Our race is suffering.
tee their perpetuity. Largely on this account the merger between the two above named institutions was influenced.
It was supposed by many that the new status given the school at Daytona by offering this measure of skill would reduce the financial burden this institution would preside, Mrs. Bethune. First by inviting more substantial contributions from individuals and foundations who hesitated to give largely because of not being able to satisfy themselves as to what would happen to the school in the event of the founder's death. (This question now being settled by means of the control of the Methodist Church.)
Second, there was a feeling that a sufficiently large appropriation would come from the Church Educational Department and many new friends would be found among the church membership and thus greatly increase the-assured income and thereby decrease the financial uncertainty.
Today, neither of these two conditions have obtained in any large measure. As a matter of fact many people who gave before affiliation with the church has regarded the institution no longer as a non-sectarian enterprise and have felt that the church, resources would take care of the school now, henceforth. Therefore, some have reduced their contribution from what it was in former years; others have failed to give altogether.
The net result of this enterprise and the conclusion of the whole matter are that the president and founder of the school, who has less physical energy than she had twenty-five years ago, and has many more responsibilities than she had other than in the educational office, she must raise more money than she was required to raise before her institution and Cookman College joined in "holy wedlock." Her burdens have increased rather than decreased. Bethune Cookman College today is in greater need of financial help than it has ever been from independent sources beyond the reach of the president and founder. The more she has from the quarters, the longer the life span of the president and the longer she will be permitted to "carry on."
The school has appreciated in physical equipment and cultural finance burden, like the old man river", just keeps, rolling along.
Archibald Johnson Takes Issue With Cong. DePriest
Editor of The New York Age.
The Paris edition of the New York Herald is electrifying all Europe on its reception of a piece of good news from the United States on the Negro question. It boils over with enthusiasm at the final settlement of a vexed race question. He says: "Thus can we solve the Negro question." The Herald's gladness, he tells us, is caused by the release of a wise and pungent statement by the Negro Representative from Chicago that his race (he means his class) does not ask social equity with white people. Do it not, he says, with its wise and learned learner maker from the political stews of Chicago has gotten scared at the Galveston noise about his wife at the White House? and who dofs his hat in answer, saying, "If she did go to the White House we were not after social equality."
If Bill Thompson, henchman, at whose word the Herald enthushes over, is correct, we who strive after and attain high university learning and culture labor in vain; for as we cannot reach intellectual and social equality with the white man we remain a natural servant class with no superior form of employment. I am writing to that this Representative does not represent me. But by what stink in our nostrils are we to endure the audacity of this fellow who comes East and dares to make such assertions before the many men and women of highest university education? Educated men and women must ignore him; sit upon him; cut him dead. He insults the noble band of students who have labored, achieved excellence in white American and foreign universities; we are only fit to be "hewers of wood and drawers of water." It is a lie.

It remains to be seen what form this separate, but equal, accommodation will take. The jimcrow car commonly operated on Southern railroads may be separate, though that fact does not protect its inmates from white intruders, but its accommodations are far from equal to the ordinary day coach, although first class fare is exacted. The jimcrow coach is not only an injustice and a humiliation, but it is also a low form of swindling practised by Southern railroads.
And yet the Interstate Commerce Commission, which is invoked to maintain equal schedule rates on the movement of freight, disclaims jurisdiction when this glaring discrimination in the treatment of passengers is brought to its notice.
Approves Editor Moore's Fighting For The Race Editor of The New York Age:
FEDERAL FARM BOARD POLICY.
Editor of The New York Age: I've just finished reading your letter under date of July 25 to Mr. A. Griggs, the Negro leadership question, where the strength of the Negro obtains. Of course, your straightforward and four-square attitude regarding that question, as all others affecting the well-being of our group, abroad as well as at home, is no surprise. You cannot do different. You are not built of questionable material, but you suffer many injustices for lacking the courage and fearless leaders like yourself.
As indicated in several addresses made by the president of the Federal Farm Board, Alexander Legge, the major policy of that organization will be to encourage the expansion and strengthening of the cooperative movement among farmers. It is not intended that the government shall supplant any of the existing cooperative agencies that are doing their work effectively. It is inevitable that the inefficient operators will be wiped out, either by competition or in some other way. The board does not intend to take the place of present agencies for the promotion of agriculture, such as the Department of Agriculture, the State agricultural colleges and experiment stations, but intends to call upon all such agencies for help and cooperation.
I have always admired your boldness and outspoken way of championing the cause of our race; your efforts to wipe out the speakeasies that are dragging our people down deeper and deeper, and not even our ministers seem to be interested or alarmed. Almost alone you are forever sounding the alarm. You deserve great credit, and are to be congratulated, and I wish to register mine. Fight on. You are gathering strength. continually the egroes of Harlem will open the gate to groe leadership, as well as to storm out the wholesale liquor traffic in our midst that is debauching and destroying our young and promising by the thousands, and throwing a cloud over so many homes.
The reason why agriculture as an industry has not kept step with other industries in the general progress of the country is because it has been operated as an individual enterprise, competing with organized effort in other industries. It has been a case of individual action and planning pitted against collective thinking and acting. Other industries have worked in larger groups, in which many minds have contributed to determine policies and form the plans for operation. For many years farming has not shown an operating profit, because the prices farmers have received for their products have not advanced in proportion to the prices of other commodities
You are engaged in a noble work. Stay on the wall and cry aloud. The fittest place for man to die is where he dies for man. God is with all who strive to lift unfortunate humanity higher, and God's people are praying for you that your life and strength may long survive, even until your own shall be the tangible fraternity of your labors.
To risk, the Negroes must do the things necessary to lift themselves. Negro leadership and the refusal to support the liquor traffic are two very important steps we must take toward building a stronger and better community, which means we are building better and stronger men and women, boys and girls and homes, and bettens themselves by seeking in all things ourselves by seeking in all things to express our lives and use our opportunities in the most advantageous manner.
But the retailers' prices have advanced and the consumer pays a higher price for everything that the farm produces. The increased profit on such products does not go to the farmer, but seems to be absorbed somewhere on the way to the consumer. The trouble has been that most of the effort to improve agricultural conditions has been spent in the matter of production, that is raising better crops in larger quantities. But this has only met one phase of the problem. Nothing was gained by raising a better crop, unless it could be marketed at a profit to the producer. This could best be done through the combination of the farmers and the establishment of cooperative sales agencies on a large scale.
A better day is ahead for Harlem Negroes, and it shall dawn because you played your part so well, with a deep human sympathy and a heart and courage. Fight on, you and me. The brave only taste of death once, the coward dies momently.

Bethune Cookman College Continues To Go Forward
By JESSE O. THOMAS
BY JESSE O. THOMAS.
No one who has not had the pleasure and good fortune to visit the Bethune Cookman College at Daytona Beach, Florida, many times during its periodical steps of evolution and transition is quite able to fully, appreciate what the institution is and what it represents. It has just passed its twentieth. Through these twenty-five years, it passed through the following stages.
According to the Department of Agriculture, there are some two million farmers in this country who are members of cooperative associations. This means that practically one-third of the farmers have come to recognize the value of combining their efforts through these cooperative associations, which number considerably over twelve thousand groups. It is through these groups that the Farm Board proposes to extend its work for farm relief. The board cannot raise prices arbitrarily, as prices are determined by basic conditions, such as the conditions of crops all over the world and the demands thereby created for various commodities.
It was first an ordinary grade school with a few industries taught From that stage it developed into a normal and industrial institution. It later became a full fledged industrial high school, including a course in teacher training. Up to this time it was a girls' school. A few years ago it changed its policy and became a coed institution and also changed its name to that of Bethune Cookman College
In affiliating with the, M. F. Church Educational Department there was a merger between the Cookman College in Jacksonville and the Normal and Industrial school at Daytona. During the history of the school the attitude of philanthropists had somewhat changed toward non-State or organization controlled institutions. Philanthropy was becoming somewhat organized during the period into great foundations. Both individuals of wealth, as well as educational foundations, threatened to withdraw their support or refuse to give to institutions who had no organization connection to guaran-
Farmers cooperative associations, under the policy indicated, must be more than mere distributing agencies. They must serve to link the farmer with his market and keep him posted as to the kind, quality and quantity of farm products which the market demands. Under an efficient cooperative system the farmer will receive market premiums for products of high quality. The members of such organizations have an economic reason for improving production, which the ordinary producer does not have. Members are warned against the practice of raising crops in excess of normal requirements, as tending to waste and to depression of prices.
Now all these hints and advice apply as pertinently to the Negro farmers as to any other group of producers, but the farmers of this group are hampered, especially in the South; in any movement demanding cooperation. Because of race prejudice they are barred from the benefits of farm relief, as effectually as their children are denied an equitable share of the funds provided for Federal aid to education. The only way in which they may benefit by cooperation in farm operation
Mars, the planet of dynamic energy, is crossing the natal suns of the birthdates of September 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 all this week.

This planet, Mars, is approaching an adverse aspect with burn, and for this reason, it is best that every one horn on these dates he very careful, and not associate with doubtful people.

The crying need in, Massachusetts is for more summer, camp for our boys and girls. So far the Chronicle knows there is only one such.

At this camp, which has a personnel and equipment inferior to none, colored boys can spend the month of July, and girls the month of August. We have often been aggrieved that neither boys nor girls can spend two months on the shores of Jake, Lashaway.
Now such a situation is remediable, and it should be remedied in a hurry. There ought to be enough forward-looking people in Massachusetts eager to do something for the moral and spiritual welfare of the youth of the race. They should contribute enough to build other camps, so that boys and girls both could be taken from the city streets.
The Chronicle emphasized this need as a matter of vital importance, on the ground that recreation diminishes delinquency, a fact which should not be overlooked.
Asserting that race prejudice is not wholly a thing of locality, the Colorado Statesman of Denver referred to an outbreak in Nebraska as follows:
The disgraced flare-up in North Platte, Nebraska, a few days ago, when the entire Negro population was ordered to leave town because of the crime of one, differs but little from similar outbreaks in the south. While under the constitution and laws Negro citizens have their rights and Nebraska had been regarded as one of the fairest of states in its interpretation of them, still, given a preponderance of numbers and little excuse, mob violence will just as quickly assert itself in the north as in the south. Plainly speaking, there is not the slightest reason for mob violence anywhere nor against any person or persons. It is the weapon of cowards and the more helpless the victims the more eagerly is, the weapon employed. The one important difference in Nebraska and the southern states that Negro citizens had the good sense and ability to exercise the immediate assistance, which brought the government and attorney general of Nebraska that Negro citizens would be protected in their every right. We believe in this will the governor of the state and the sheriff of Lincoln county took prompt action in the matter shows conclusively that both place the proper law upon the office of the proper real damage done in the affairs, however, is in the certain knowledge that the mob spirit prevails in North Platte. There are Negroes who had spent practically a lifetime in the little city, had bought homes' and improved their property to the standpoint of elegance. No doubt they and long time predecessors have practiced the crime. All of this counted but little in their favor when a chance for mob action hove in sight, which Attorney General Sorenson declared was a shameful procedure. It is quite evident that officers of lower rank failed in their performance of duty when the test, came and this is where a major arises of our trouble arises. The proper man, with the proper conception of his path, and the bravery to stand up in the face of mobocracy, can do much to maintain law and order.
The Governor's statement, emphasizing the fact that "mob-action is never justified." was commended by the Denver paper in these terms: "A cleaner statement was never issued by a public official in the hour of peril."
Commenting on certain resolutions adopted by the Commercial Law League of America, calling for amendment of the immigration laws, so as to admit only those who will make good citizens, the Chicago Bee said:
It is very evident that this convention is aggrieved and perturbed by one phrase and one only of our lack of good government, and that in its deliberations it is either blind to the real causes of why America has palpably failed as a melting pot, or else it is strongly biased against our foreign elements, many of whom have made good citizens, and to whom much credit must be given to much blood, industry, thrift and prosecutions into what might have become the sluggish of this vibration will last throughout the year. It would be interesting to note the lives of those whom you know were horn on these dates
The birthdates of December 14, 15 and 16 will feel the influence of Saturn crossing the natal suns. They should not try to begin any new or important plans, or to make any financial risks. Removals never turn out well under this aspect. It is best that they wait until later in the winter to try out the important plans that they have in mind. This vibration makes plans seem wonderfully full of opportunities and promise, but they end disastrously. Those who wait and attend to routine matters will come out best
The readers who would like to know how to do things at the right time, and how to get ahead should write to Thearcher in care of The New York Age, 230 West 135th street, New York City. The birth-date month, year, hour and place must be given correctly. If the hour of birth is not known the time of day, morning or evening and the date of the month, should be written at the top of the letter. It is paragraph and a stamped and used envelope should accompany the birth data. All communication; are confidential.
yeins and cull mentality of a part of our citizenship. The resolution speaks of nihilism, syndicalism and communism of the foreigners, but ignores the same practices of the native Americans. If there is mobocracy in the United States of a kind that threatens to disrupt and destroy our nation, it is of a kind that is used by white Americans against kind Americans. It is kind that permeals civil, civil, and industrial determination; it is of a kind that permees the lynching of its citizens; it is of a kind that encourages our Congress to spend billions of dollars to enforce one amendment to the federal constitution and not one cent for the enforcement of those having to do with the human rights of a part of its citizens. But America is blind to the truth that the Chicago editor points out and prefers to put the blame for lawlessness on alien shoulders.
Under the heading of "The Smoke Screen," the Carolina Times of Durham punctured the bogey of "social equality," in the following manner:
Every time a Negro has the moral courage to ask for better schools, better lights, better railway accommodations, or to share in the public opportunity to get jobs, he is branded with seeking social equality. It is the extra smoke screen thrown up by the opposite race to deny him the things that are rightfully his.
The word social equality has become a ludicrous joke to the average Negro. He wonders just what the white man has that he is socially minus. In fact, who in the transition wants to take dinner or have other social intercourse with anybody who doesn't want them. The concept of some of the white newspapers in trying to fool the less intelligent of their race into believing that the Negro hopes to have a closer contact with the white race is amusingly refreshing. In cities where Negroes have every opportunity to live in their neighborhoods they have developed their own communities. Harlem, in New York City, is a concrete example.
That would serve to quiet the apprehensions of the most tumultous of those who shriek "social equality," if their fears were genuine. But the smoke screen will probably be continued, so long as it serves its purposes.
Denouncing the efforts of the politicians in the City Council of Atlanta to annex certain outlying towns, without the consent of their inhabitants, the Atlanta Independent said:
Either one of these little boroughs would have as much right to pass an ordinance in their council to annex Atlanta as Atlanta has to pass an ordinance annexing them. Atlanta has the same right to pass a rule annexing Barnesville, and Griffin it has to pass a law annexing Hapeville, College Park, and East Point.
The ordinance vetoed by the Mayor recognized the right of self-government, and the Mayor simply joined the politicians in the city government in denying the people of these little villages their constitutional rights to govern them selves, and set up the arbitrary the city and destroy their towns against their will. What right have the people of Atlanta and Fulton County outside of these villages, to say that the people, in the villages, operating under separate charters, must do? Atlanta would have just as much right to say who shall be mayor and who shall not. Atlanta has no right to submit a referendum to anybody to vote on, outside of its corporate limits. Atlanta has no jurisdiction over any part of Fulton County except that part its charter covers.
Editor Davis insists that the people are sovereign and not the anionists, thereby championing the rights of the weaker party.
Commending the forming by local business men of an organization to be known as Associated Business Clubs, the Washington Eagle said.
Costing, as it does, not less than $5,000,000 (sixty-five million dollars) a year to keep alive the 12,000 one hundred and twenty thousand colored people in the District Columbia, centrally inscribe the formation of an A-B-C Club, to see that a proportion of that sum adds in the development of the group which produces and spends it.
With John R. Hawkins, W H C. Brown and S. W. Rutherford, heads of successful enterprises, among those who are picked to guide the destiny of the A-B-C Club, the lack of confidence and the indifference of the small business man and store-keeper, and agrarian may be overcome.
With the experience, contacts and resources of I. A. Jackson of the United States Department of Commerce, available as coordinator we may come, as we ought, to ask questions of experts in our lines of business, and to get answers as accurate as scientific research and tested practices can make them.
Above all else, this movement shows that we have within our group, sense enough and initiative to try to solve our own problem-solving methods that have proven successful, and beginning with elements rather than with ornamental and illusions.
One of the objects of this essay in cooperative business effort is stated as the necessity to keep the individual business man human, through associated relations and wider contacts. That sounds as if the average business man in Washington led acluded existence, which is hardly credible.
CHURCH AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
Mt. Olivet Baptist Church
A new commandment I give unto you, I give you one another as I love loved you, that ye also love another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if you have love one to another", John 15:345. This was the text chosen by Rev. J. Raymond Henderson, Sunday morning, August 4, at Mt. Olive Baptist Church. The subject was "The New Commandment or the Power of Christian Religion."
He reminded the audience that man in the time of Moses was more positive than he is now and that wisdom was necessary to enforce law. Jesus did not take 'away law' but He provided love. He spoke of the individuality of man each thinking and acting differently. How Jesus loved all His disciples in spite of their faults, and how He died for all mankind. He explained the fact that all the that man may be rendered to despair, religion and tree discipleship and that Jesus was the Only One Who could bring results. He also compared practical religion with the religion merely talked about. There was an interesting 'meeting' on the two Bible classes at 1:30. The subject of the lesson was 'How Sin came into the World,' according to Paul, taught by Rev Hen
At the evening service, Rev. Henderson, subject was "The Two Men Who Went Out" selected from Matthew 27.5, "And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed and went and nanged himself." (Speaking of Judas) Also, Matthew 26.27, "And Peter remembered the word of Jesus which said unto him, before the cook crow, thou shalt deny me thrice and he went out and wept betterly." He made comparison between the remorse of Judas and the repentance of Peter. To repent means not only feeling sorry for an act, but to come back and do better. Not lay down and give up the whole life as Judas did. Two people joined church and $334.52 was collected. The announcement was made concerning the deaths of Messrs. Chas, Scott and King.
The Girls' Culture Club held an interesting meeting; the topic "How to promote friendship," was led by the president. Miss Bertha Towesen Monday evening, August 12. Rey Henderson will be to the press and will be a sketch rendered by Trustee Burris and Mr. Fun friends are invited.
St. Cyprian's Chapel
The vicar, Father J. W. Johnson, was present to greet the communicants at the regular 8 a.m. continuation service, and to welcome the he Emmett E. Miller from Petroburg, Va. who will be in charge of the chapel and services during our vicar's vacation.
The Rev. Emmett E. Miller praised an inspiring sermon at the 11 a.m. service from Genesis 32nd chapter and the 26th verse, "And he said, Let me go, for the day braketh, and he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me"
The theme of the sermon was "Lucky Battles"
During his discourse he stated that the new commandment used by the average person today was "Do in and get away with it" far from the teachings of the Master.
He stated that the average student who came to Howard University today wanted to study economics, how to take the illiterate Negroes' money, and secondly, psychology, how to get away with it.
The Daily Bible School had a bus ride to Pelham Bay Park on Friday, August 2, where they held an outing in conjunction with the children, the other channels of the Protestant Episcopal Mission Society Miss Inesie Lee was in charge and from all reports, although the girls beat the boys in the games, they had a wonderful time.

Grace Church of Harlem
A sixth portion of the congregation of Grace Church gathered to celebrate the sixth anniversary on the entrance into the church. Before the service, Miss Hunter, the organist, rendered a short excerpt followed by the causer in professional and the reading of scriptures by Dr. Garner. After the sermon, "The Church's One Foundation" had been sung by the congregation, Dr. Garner and the deacons in the morning prayer. A brief survey of the work being done by each club and activity was posted by an officer of each respect group, Trustees, James T. Deacones, Fred Byers, Dean Cressi, Mrs Viola Ribb, Professor, Mrs Mame Jefferson, Ad Emergency, Mrs Filias H. Davis Nursery, Dr. Gracondis, Miss Stephanie Dair Missionary, Mrs A. M. Kindergarten, Miss Marla Strobel Strobel H. J. Pratt, Sunday School Miss Elizabeth Martin. The reports were followed in a condition by the choir.
De Garner preached a most eloquent communion and anniversary service combined. He took as his test "The Lord loveth a cheerful man." The lesson taught was that God does not mean that we must all take a fine money to His cause, but that we can give ourselves cheerful and willingly to do His work and not matter how small the dred he hearts with it, it is acceptable. God's light, Frank Harrison of Talladega College was a solist at the morning service. He sang "Coming Home" in a voice of sympathy and heartfelt. His hour is doing fine work under the direction of Miss Olivia Mori who is filling Mr. Bormin's role while he is on his vacation.
Communion was served to a good-
ly portion of the congregation and visitors by Dr. Garner and the deacons.
Next Sunday, the anniversary of the death of New Albert P. Miller will be celebrated with fitting exercise and the day will also be set aside for a memorial day for those who have died in Grace Church Dr. Garner will preach the sermon.

well Street Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh. Dr. Glaso, an earnest and forceful evangelistic pastor, distinguished himself in his student days, no evangelist preaching here in New York City. Dr. Glaso's coming is always welcomed by the people of New York City and especially by the membership of St. James Church. Since his pastorate in Pittsburgh, which began about 60 years ago, a pioneer work on the north side has grown to large proportions.

Bridge St. A. M. E. Church
"We can look and feel murder, hate, spite and have other emotions but this is not the Christ-like spirit. The Christ-like spirit is in loving our enemies." This was the dominant note of the sermon of the pastor, Dr. Edward Ernest Tyler, at the morning hour. He was speaking on the topic, "The Idea of Attaining the Seemingly Impossible." The text was St. Matthew 7:7-8.
Dr Tyler stressed the following points: What we desire to have in life we should first ask in faith and prayer and it shall be given us; seek and we shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto us. In other words, we can attain the seemingly impossible along spiritual and other lines by having faith in ourselves and in God. We must make an effort ourselves, then we shall receive.
Dr Tyler also stated that we can and must make our religion practical, for it is not a thing in the air but very much on earth, and the only way to make the proper impression is to live and act it.
The spacious edifice was filled to capacity despite the humidity, nearly 1,000 persons being in the place when the pastor started his sermon. Many visitors from out-of-town were present.
Following the sermon the ordinance of holy baptism was held: Several young children being baptized. At the evening hour, the services were in charge of the stewardesses, deaconesses and evangelists. Evangelist Ida B. Henson presided. A well arranged program was furnished and the women spiritual workers of the church acquitted themselves with great credit. Mrs. Henson made an eloquent and charming presiding officer.
Seven new members joined the church when the invitation was extended morning until the flowers and quilt were in memory of Stephen Spellman, who was a junior steward, and were given by his family. Other flowers were in memory of Fanny Harvey and Frank Bryant, and were given by Mrs. Martha Bryant.

"Two Kinds of Seed" was the pastor's subject on last Sunday. His text was taken from Matthew 13:28-29. The text had to do with another parable of Jesus. Here He is talking about seeds.

THE material contrast between the structures with which (Booker T. Washington) began and the present great, ample and commodious material of this new era is the subject of much discussion. But satisfactory and encouraging as this is, it is but a imperfect measure of Dr. Washington's work and achievement. The education of the students coming to three hundred young men and women for their useful to themselves and their families is of course a good commendable and helpful work, but that was only one part of what he did and sought to do. His purpose was to radiate from a center like Telegraph to a real advance for his race, or any race—WILLIAM HOWARD ZAFT, Chief Justice United States Supreme Court.

BRITISH BOARD CLEARS VESTRIS CREW OF CHARGES Finds No Lack of Discipline or Cowardice-In Negro Sailors
In a statement issued July 31, United States Attorney Charles J. Tuttle comments on advance report of the British Board of Trade's investigation of the recent "Vestris" tragedy, in which the sinking of that ship carried 114 passengers and members of the crew to deep sea graves on November 12, 1928:
Mr. Tuttle calls specific attention to the fact that the British Board found that "there was no lack of discipline among the crew in any section of the crew" this being said he, "in exact accord with the finding at our inquiry and is a complete answer to the apparent attempt made before Commissioner O'Neill by some of the officers of the vessel to place some of the blame for an alleged lack of discipline and cowardice on the part of the Negro members of the crew," p. 2444 of the stakehold.
"It is gratifying to note that the attempt to shift blame has been rejected in England precisely as it was rejected here."

A record for double plays in one baseball game was set at Protector Oval Sunday, August 4, when nine were made in the first game of the Cuban Star-Lincoln Grants series. The Lincolnns won this game by a score of 14-6 but with Roell, the Cubans' pitching ace on the mound the Lincolns were the shorthanded for the second game, losing by a score of 11-2. Three of the double plays were by the Cubans and the other six by members of the Grant-team. The combinations of Riggins to Scales to Lloyd and Vances to Scales to Lloyd were working in great form. Scales and Smith had perfect scores at bat on the first game Scales hit a home run and two 2. Scales hit a triple on the plate, while Scales made three two-baggers in three times up Manager Lloyd also hit a home run.
In the second game base hits were few and far between for the Lincoln Rocell pitched one of the best games seen in this park all season. He hit the home team five scored hits and struck out 9 batters. Vargas was the leading batter for the Cubans in this game, making a home run, a two-bagger and a single in five trips to the plate.

ATHLETIC NEWS AND HAPPENINGS OF THE STAGE
Nat'l Tennis Tourney At Bordentown To Be An Outstanding Event
What is the most interesting sport to watch? Is a question that has been arguled for many years. At this time of the year it is a tossup between baseball and tennis. But in tennis the sportsmanship is usually higher—there are fewer squabbles and bleakers, which, as a rule, mar the game for the spectators. After watching a good game of tennis one can understand why Bill Tilden has been the idol of thousands over a longer period than any baseball star
We have in our group several players, who, except for the color of their skins, are as great players as Filden. The national men's singles champion, Edgar G. Brown of Indianapolis, is without a doubt the outstanding player of our group. He has studied the strokes and science of Tilden and other great stars and faithfully puts them into execution. Along with Brown one finds such other good players as Richard Hudlin of St Louis, formerly a letter man on the University of Chicago's tennis team, Eryse Satch of New York, national champion of 1926, whose chop stroke is the stumbling block in most players who encounter him there. Satch is the creator of California and A. Graham of Ohio, newcomers, who give every promise of becoming champions. These players with many others, will compete in the national tennis tournament, which the American Tennis Association is staging in Bordentown, N. J., August 19 to 24.
The Bordentown Manual Training and Industrial School has thrown open its dormitories and other facilities for contestants and visitors to this tournament. A splendid program of social events are being arranged by the New Jersey Tennis Association, host for the occasion, and every indication points to its being the outstanding social and sport event of the month. Entry blanks and detailed information may be obtained from Lester B Grainger at M T and I School, Bordentown, N. J., G. Merkel F. Norman, 53 Juniper street, Flushing, N. Y., or from J. Mercer Burrell, 164 Market street, Newark. For reserve seats write to Mr. Grainger at Bordentown

Miss Brown has a marvelous voice. She makes a stunning picture in an evening suit and the audience gasped and applauded when she removed her top hat and allowed her long hair to fall over her shoulders. Jackie Mabley, was, of course, the comedy star of the show. Her new imitation and chatter made the audience howl with laughter. Troy Brown and Edgar Martin also contributed to the fun with several and hilarious songs and Silvery the Struttin' Dandies and the Chorus gave a fine exhibition of dancing. Taken all-together, Harlun Girl is a more than-delightful musical comedy and a credit to the genus and creative ability of Iryn C. Miller
The feature photoplay held the audience spell-bound. It is Lon Chaney's latest and greatest sensation "Where East is Last"
"The Man of a Thousand Faces" is shown as a fearless tiger-hunter adventure. The action takes place in Indo-China. "Where East is East" will long be remembered as Lon Chaney's greatest picture.

To see Bill Robinson alone anywhere, is quite a treat. But there is one place where this marvelous entertainer likes most to appear, and that is at the Lafayette. And he promises his host of friends that this company will make the supreme effort of their lives to show Harlem the last word in musical comedy entertainment. Beyond this words and promises are useless
The show will be called "BO-JANGLES REVELS". It will be presented three times daily, in accordance with the established policies of the Lafayette Theatre, in conjunction with a big photoplay film by William Haines will be seen in "A Man's Man" as the feature photoplay.

THEATRICAL JOTTINGS
By BOB SLATER
The Florence Mills Theatre
Association, now located in their
new home at 115 West 131st street,
will have their formal opening
Tuesday night. August 10. The
offices board of directors and
members are expected to turn out
in town. This animation it con-
dured according to the articles of
incorporation will in time do great
things for the relief of the colored
actors and actresses. It was orga-
nized for the purpose of perpetuating
the memory of our greatest
and most beloved actress Florence
Mills, and all colored performers
should get their unended sup-
port, their success in the
way, and this was only, can it
attain the success the movement de-
serves.
...
The present condition of the theatrical business is forcing the performers to organize for mutual protection Among the organizations contemplated is one that should have been formed years ago. That is an Equity Association formed by the comedians, with the intention to protect themselves from the terrible conditions which they are forced at this time to put up with Some of America's lead about the careers of the team of Darrel, and Sloane, a pair of Broadway hoofers, wedded and striving for honors. There are devoted careers taken from the musical to the cabaret and musical comedy atmosphere at New York with all the temptations, heart-breaks, jealousies, tears and bursting glories of the world of make believe. And in the competent hands and voices of Barbara Bennett and Bobby Watson who play the leading roles, one finds laughs and tears galore for an evening's entertainment.
The big honors, of course, go to Fred Waring's *Pennsylvaniaans*, who, in nine rousing jazz numbers, literally riot the show Morton Downey sings three new song hits especially written for the picture Dorothy Lee, another Broadway favorite, and Gina Zielechn, a musician sparato soloist, each render delightful vocal selections. The big hits songs of the piece are I'll Always be in Love with You" "Terroru and Do Something" It is an extremely well-done film and should be seen by every member of the family.

Lakeside, Ohio—President David D. Jones of Beinnett College for Women, Greensboro, N.C. speaking here at Lakeside School of Missions of the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, said that the interracial movement as carried forward in the South was one of the great social movements of America, and likened to unto some of the great social movements that have stirred America praising the work of the Interracial Commission and forward steps in education in the South. President Jones said the work of enlightenment has just begun. Jim crow laws and the policies of segregation are a great blight on the expansive attitude of Negroes.

Members of the quartet are Jessie Lee Johnson, Nannie Wright and Elfreda Sandifer of Greensboro, N.C., and Miss Charlotte Price of Leaksville N. C. Carrie Robinson of the freshman class was the accompanist.
ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM
All bookers and musicians are hereby warned to be on the alert for an unscrupulous white man who is victimizing and sending musicians to a felitious address to play an engagement which does not exist.
Last Sunday night, three orchestras were booked to fill an engagement in the Bronx. All three groups met in the same vicinity and on comparing notes and vicinity and on comparing notes and giving a description of the white swindler discovered that each individual had been hired by the same individual and no leader of the group had an address where musicians were required. All the orchestras discovered that they were on a wild goose chase and wended the way back home, sadder and wiser men.
Jimmy Davis the well known drummer, was the one swindled, as the white man gave him a check for $45 when Jimmy was engaged at his (Jimmy's) home, and requested from Jimmy a loan of $5 until he saw him later. Jimmy but and handed the pale face the $5, and now Jimmy is intently scrutinizing the face of every white man he meets, hopeful of recognizing his "friend."
One of the hands is reported to have been hired direct from the Clef Club.
Alonzo Williams, the sax player, has just returned to Harlem after a stay in Paris or eleven months. This was his second visit to Paris. Conditions in Paris are rather gloomy for musicians who have

closed their contract term and are unemployed. It appears that contracts for musicians, made in New York for service in France, are quoted at a reasonably high figure, but at the expiration of contract no such price is obtainable for a renewal contract, the French expecting musicians to work for the price obtainable by their local musicians. This might be fair and square to the Frenchman's idea, as they figure out the cost of living in their town. But, to make a musician leaving New York, has his family or other affiliation, here and he has to consider the upkeep of himself in France and his connections in New York, which entails practically a double expense to carry.
Therefore the careful musician in France refuses to lose his head in the glamour of the enchanting city, puts a check in his temptations without denying himself any of the necessaries of life, and when his contract has expired and nothing worth while turns up—purchases his ticket and, returns to Uncle Sam.
Not so careful was one musician who came back with Alonzo. He awoke to the realization that his contract was closed, no other job in sight, and he had plenty responsibility in New York and no money to come back on Alonzo Williams deserves great credit, we think for opening his pocketbook to this careless musician and paying his bill, enabling him to reach home, he says, "I will rent a lesson and may stay" to some reckless musician who travels far from home.
Again, how many Alonzo would not perform this deed?
On all the musicians who have died in Paris it is said that only three, among them the late Lieut E. E. Thompson, left enough frances toury them. All the others have had a subscription raised for their interment.
By the way, it is freely said that the last serious shooting in France among American musicians was caused by the request in a cafe for money or a burial. The two principals wounded others besides themselves and are now serving 15 months each in solitary confinement in a French prison. Alonzo has taken a trip to his home town in Ohio to see his mother and wife and also to transact some business there. On the completion of which he will return with his wife to New York ready.

She finally concluded her "remarks, however, and they were seconded by Mr. Fitzsimmons and Mrs Christine Maura, representing six election districts of the 8th Assembly District Mrs. Maura tried to have it appear that she represented the leader of that district, and that she represented the three districts as a bloc for Harris. This was objected to but she did succeed in influencing some of the committeemen from this district to vote for what she termed "the organization candidate"

Mr. Harris was then called upon for a few remarks and his speech in substance was that he owed his allegiance to Mr. Grenthal and he elected he would be subservient to the leader.
Puzzling Change In Attitude
No longer than last week Mr Harris was advocating the selection of a Negro for the Assembly in both the 19th and 21st Districts. He has for years advocated the control of the districts where the Negroes are in majority by members of our group. He once opposed Robert S Conklin for the leadership of the 21st District Many voters are puzzled at this sudden change in his attitude. Mr Moore and Mr. Rivers were accorded permission to speak and both thanked those who gave loyal support to them and announced they would both fight in the primaries
Caustic criticism was heard with regard to the action of Julia P. H. Coleman and Rosa H. Lankin, who were fervid in their exploitation of white leadership. Although not entitled to the privilege, Mrs Lankin essayed strenuously to cast her vote for Grenthal, but was barred as inclusive. Mrs Coleman, however, had a vote tor and thus the cast with great aplomb for the perpetuating the Grenthal polite. Mr. Grenthal sought to intimidate colored county committees who opposed him by going to the 28th Precinct station and having a squad of policemen assigned to the meeting, declaring that he expected trouble and needed the police to keep order. After the meeting, he had one of the policemen escort him downtown in his home where he lives at 214 West 91st street.

BY THOMAS B. BURKE.
The best and simplest definition of self-denial is the doing of something for "somebody else, the principle of Christ as he lived," the Rev. W. A. English, pastor, said in his communion talk to his congregation on Sunday morning at St. Memorial M. F. Church, here.
Having as his subject, "A Little Farther," the preacher portrayed the "Man Of Sorrows" in his agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. "St. Matthew introduces more vividly than the other gospels the agony of Christ, and the striking statement so applicable for us to follow is: that He went a little farther than the rest. In the Garden, there was a physical distance between Christ and His disciples, but to them and to the rest, there is a vast moral distance separating Him and us. Christ in pain, sorrow, poverty, suffering and human discerning, went a little farther than His disciples."
A churchly setting, with a background that is mid-Victorian, strikingly in contrast with these modernistic times, the pictures of Christ flanking the rostrum seemed to beam approval on His being used to exemplify the acme of self-denial, as the preacher exhorted "We pick a fuss with our condition complam and murmur, forgetting that as St Paul says, Christ must for us for all Europe. His poverty may become rich, giving up His life that we might have life eternal."
"I wonder if in any 35 years of our lives, can we find that, like Christ, every action and thought has been spent in doing for others." Such a comparison will make us blush for shame in having done so little for Him and for others. Such a comparison will make us blush for shame in having done so little for Him and for others. When called upon to give money to the church in a crisis, we may think our objections heavy, but remember how much farther He has gone in sacrification. "Fix in each mind and heart that Christ went a little farther, not so much for the world as for me, then our appreciation in giving and service will be warmed with hearty enthusiasm."
Concluding, the preacher again recounted that Christ having gone a great deal farther than any human beings can go, the blood-blood of His feet can go to all in His competition to our yellow-Christians to go just a little farther in attempting to reach the heart he lived and died for "us."

DOINGS AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYEES
By JAMES H. HOGANS
THE PRISONER OF CARMEL
For the first time in as many years as can be recalled—some say, for the first time in its history—the staid and static hamlet of Carmel, N.Y., has confined in its little red brick and seldomly used jail, a prisoner charged with murder. The prisoner is James Bell, Negro, who worked as butler for "Bud" Fisher, the well known cartoonist, and creator of "Mutt and Jeff," at his country home on the shores of Lake Mahopac, a summer resort once fashionable for the wealthy of New York City. The victim of the murder was Frank Candee, white, who was superintendent of the same estate.
Although it is only fifty miles or so from Manhattan Island, where even murder has lost the power to excite, Carmel hasn't recovered as yet from the tragic novelty of having a murderer as its guest. In spite of the fact that the slayer was committed there more than three weeks ago, it is still the main topic for conversation among the old residents of the sedate and prim hamlet. Not since the trial of the former "Peaches" Heenan and her erstwhile admirer and husband Browning, the wealthy New York reality operator, has Carmel been thrown into such a state of excitement, and given so much food for oral chewing. But this, however, is extraneous to the events that led to the incarceration of Carmel's first homicide prisoner.
According to reports from the scene of the crime, the events were these. On Saturday evening, July, the prisoner pumped two shots from a .32 calibre automatic rifle into the body of the Fisher estate superintendent, Frank Candee, causing almost instant death to the white man. This act of the colored man was the climax to a quarrel which had started between the two men over the proposed shooting or a dog belonging to Fisher.
At the coroner's inquest, which was held on Tuesday following the crime, witnesses testified that the superintendent, on returning to the estate, met the butler, who had a shot gun. He inquired of the colored man his reason for having the gun. The butler replied that he was looking for a dog, that Mr. Fisher had ordered him to shoot. To that, Gandee retorted that he was boss of the place and would see Fisher about it. That ended the conversation, so the witnesses declared, by the Negro returning to the estate's garage and depositing the gun.
The quarrel was renewed later, however, according to these witnesses, one of whom was Oscar Gregorious, the chauffeur on the place, and with the automatic rifle. Bell began firing at the superintendent just as the latter was about to enter the front entrance to the Fisher's home. Three bullets were fired at the approaching man, two of which found their mark. The chaufeur, who is also white, claimed that ailer shooting Candee, the Norwegian turned the weapon on him, but that he escaped the two bullets armed at him by seeking protection behind tree.
There are the incidents, if the testimony of witnesses at the inquiry is to be taken at face value, which led to the first murder, according to old residents, in the history of the Mahopac, and the imprisonment of the first man charged with such a crime in the jail of Candee, seat of Putnam County.
To read the story of the slaying, as published by local newspapers in the vicinity, there are little extenuating circumstances surrounding the case. To read their description of it although, it is not meant I saw here that these accounts were exactly biased—it was an act barely short of cold-blooded murder. The peaceful citizen would trust, get the impression that this man Bell was a vicious Negro at best.
But before passing judgment, hear the side of the black man's face as told by him to Officer Joseph Guertin of the Harlem Division of the New York Central Railroad Detective Bureau. Bell's version and the witnesses' versions of the affair are at variance.
Before recounting this story, just a word or two about Guertin. Joe Guertin is Irish from prow to stern. No mistaking that. The Bell begins with his massive shaped head and never stops until it reaches the extreme point of his prominent feet. An unadulterated son of Erin Being Irish and a detective tool, Well, you just simply wouldn't expect much sympathy from the combination; not for a Negro charged with murder, anyway. But that is just where human psychology turns from the beaten path, and baffles even those who study its eccentric wanderings.
Like the writer, Guertin never heard of James Bell until the crime for which he is held was committed. The writer has never seen the man, but Guertin has. Several days after the shooting, Guertin happened to be in Carmel on railroad business. The Carmel jailer asked the railroad officer would he mind "finger printing" Bell, as he, the Carmel officer, had no arrangements for that sort of crime recording "Sure," said Guertin.
Well, to make the story brief, here is the dialogue that occurred between Guertin and Bell, as told to this reporter:
Gurtin. "Say, Bell, why did you shoot Candee as you did. "I had to, boss, he was chasing me with an open knife. I didn't intend to shoot; the gun was just a bluff with me, but Candee kept on coming towards me with that drawn knife. I tried to get round him, but he cornered me. So, in my excitement my finger got on that trigger and I couldn't let it go. Oh, boss, I am so sorry. I have never been in any trouble in my life before. I have always tried to treat everybody right. Why, I have been in the Fisher family once I was a boy down South. They know I wouldn't hurt a bit more less kill a man. Why, when Mr. Fisher first told me to kill that dog because he was always chasing the automobiles that passed the house, I did not do as he told me because I hadn't the heart." Gurtin. "But, they said, that Candee was found with his knife. Bell. "I don't know, sir, but he had one open when he was runn-
It might put a certain complex on the case to note just here these events in connection with the case: From Mr. Guertin's relation of the incidents following the shooting, as told to him, the colored man made no attempt to escape from the scene of the shooting, but went to an upper room in the house and remained there until the sheriff had been summoned. This he did without any restraining influence. In fact he said, he waited with the docility of a pet animal for the officer to come and arrest him. In the meanwhile, the slain man was taken care of by his friends, one of whom was the chauffeur, who claimed that Bell fired two shots at him.
The closed knife, and all the other particulars that would have any bearing on the case were first witnessed only by the dead man's friends even before the officers arrived.
There is another angle that might throw some suggestions in the taxation explanation for Bell's unpremediated act. He told Mr. Guertin that Candee, who was chauffeur for the former owner of the Flower estate, but was superintendent when the comic strip artist bought a year or so ago, was always "picking" on and abusing him, therefore when he had been drinking. He said, Candee was drinking on this night.
Regarding the part of liquor, and what part, if any, it played in the day, the Brewster Standard, a local weekly, had this to say: "They have been summond frequently to quell disturbances at the Brewster. Whether drinking preceded the quarrel has not been accorded to latest reports."
Almost a foregone conclusion that Bell, despite his maddening not been drinking himself at the time, otherwise, the act described to his having been drunk. He told Officer Guertin a drink occasionally, but liquor drinking was not a habit.
Taking with Officer Guertin about the case, it having been writer's attention by a Harlem Railroad conductor, he unfortunate affair, and that he self-real story for Booth, the colored man impressed him as being everything
OUT OF TOWN CORRESPONDENCE
"In fact," he said, "he struck me as being ordinarily harmless as a pet dog"
In the meantime, Bell is being held for the action of the Putnam County grand jury, which meets in September
"Bull Fisher it is said, will employ competent counsel to defend the colored man.
Bell was born in Lexington, Ky., and is 49 years old. His employer brought him to his Mahopac place from the old Fisher home in Kentucky, a year ago. The slain man was a native of Katonah, N.Y., and was of the type of poor whites to be found in this section

Mr Louis White of Cambridge, Moss, who is one of the most virele, as well as versatile exporters that ever reached the age of seventy and still is going strong, writes the column as follows
"I read both your recent articles, "Reproving the Ministers and "A.Perfect Score." I have no comment to make on the former, but when you mention the name of exporter Victor Block a flood of recollections rush to my mind I am pleased to say they are most agreeable memories.
"By the way, what has become of our head of the Retired Porter's Benefit Association? He began like a shot out of a white conspicuous only by his silence
"I am still in the law business"
LDITOR'S NOTE:—Perhaps, Mr Ford can answer your question better than the column's editor, but it is just possible that there are reasons for his silence. It is likely that the next move you hear regarding the movement will be information of a more definite character. As this reporter understands it the sponsors of the movement are waiting to hear from Chicago, relative to certain phases, which have been suggested and which would make the association an assured fact, if approved
Special Honors To Veteran Porter
Special Honors To Veteran Porter
M. L. Holmes, who was the oldest porter in the Pullman service in the Montreal district at the time of his retirement last May, was shown remarkable attention and courtesy by the Pullman Company on Thursday, August 1, when he started from Springfield, Mass. on a New Haven Railroad train, to his old home in Lexington, N.C.
Leaving Springfield on New Haven train, No 47, which arrived at New York at 3:40 p.m. former-Porter Holmes was met at the Grand Central Station by W. C. Taylor, one of the A-1 representatives of the Pullman service in New York City, and escorted over to the Pennsylvania Railroad Station, where he boarded a southern railroad train at 4:30 for Lexington.
The remarkable feature about the veteran's trip is the attention and courtesy that were rendered him by the Pullman Company. From the time the exporter entrained on the New Haven train at Springfield until he was put aboard the train for Lexington, special arrangements had been made for his care and comfort by the management of the Pullman Company.
He was given Pullman transportation from Springfield to New York, which is only a few hours ride. At New York he was taken across to the Penn. Terminal Station in a taxi by Employment Supervisor Taylor, at which point he was safely and comfortably seen to the state-room which had been reserved for him on the southern train.
Porter Holmes was in a wreck on the Boston and Maine last April, Since then he has been in ill health, having suffered three paralytic strokes. Aside from these mishaps, the veteran is an old man. In appreciation of his record, which his former superintendent, J. W. Seabury of Montreal, said was 100 per cent, the Pullman people had a regular relay of advisements from district to district as to the attention that should be shown the ill veteran.
Among these advisements was one from Holmes' former supervisor, which was sent to the Grand Central district superintendent. In asking that this superintendent delegate some representative from his staff to see that the oldimer was rendered every possible assistance, the Montreal official wrote
"I might state that Porter Holmes enjoys a most favorable record at Montreal, in fact, in the six years since I have been at this point, I have never had occasion to bring him into the office for any reason whatever, except for service and Safety First meetings, and we have held him up before the other porters of this district as a criterion as to what can be accomplished by the individual employee.
Superintendent Seabury further showed his solicitation for the traveller by this item.
"Thanking you for any assistance you can render this faithful employee, who is the oldest man in the Montreal organization."

Refused Swimming Pool Privileges At Indian Point On Hudson River. Students Protest To Day Line Co.
Told No Lockers Were Available, Group Stood In Line Till Closing Hour, Thus Barring 200 Other Wouldbe Patrons From Place Charges of deliberate discrimination by employees of the Hudson River Day Line at Indian Point on the Hudson are contained in a letter which has been sent the general manager of that company by Emile G. Thomas, president of the Students' Literary Association, following the barring of members of the association from use of the recently installed swimming pool at Indian Point for use of patrons of the Day Line steamers.
In reply to the letters, which set forth in detail the embarrassing and humiliating experience to which the students were subjected by attendants at the swimming pool, the general manager of the Day Line, A. S. Olcottet tessely replied: "I will have this matter firmly investigated," with no intimation as to what the actual attitude of the company is with regard to the discrimination practiced upon them.
Barred From "Party."
Mr. Thomas told of the sailing of his group to Indian Point on July 28, where some of the members applied for a boat and took it with both of their being refused admission. One attendant informed them, brusquely:
"You don't belong to this party."
But that seemed no bar to scores of other excursionists who applied at the window for tickets of admission. Questioned for information as to the makeup of the special party, the students were told that it was an "order from the office," which statement the courteous young woman in the ticket office attempted to corroborate.
In the meantime another group of the students applied for admission and they were told the lockers were at a store. This was at 2:30 p.m. and the pool is kept open until 5:30. Realizing this, the students simply remained in their positions at head of the line, thereby preventing any of the several hundred people behind them from getting to the ticket window.
Kent 200 Out of Pool.
In the meantime the exit turnstiles clicked continuously as bathers left the pool, but still there were no lockers available for the reggo applicants. Instead, the ticket seller left his cage and from his retreat peered out to see if we were gone. And but the gallant phalanx held its ground until the closing hour. That many of those in the waiting line making loud protest and inquiring as to reason for the delay.
With at least two hundred people waiting in line, and with scores of people leaving the pool, the "no locker" excuse lost its force and then the ticket seller, evidently angered at the persistence shown by the student group, came out and told them angrily that he just would not let them in:
In his letter, Mr. Thomas compared the action of the swimming pool attendants with the religious atmosphere on board the steamer, including the Sunday church services and the banning, of dancing on Sundays, declaring that he did not believe that an organization which fostered such Christian principles would countenance such a narrow and prejudiced attitude toward a particular group of its patrons.
But, as stated above, the only reply received from General Manager Oleott was the fifteen word letter "Your letter of July 30th, has been received. I will have this matter carefully investigated."
Baptists of Western New York In Session
Auburn, N.Y.-The Western New York Baptist Conference closed a successful three-day session at Roosevelt Memorial Baptist Church Sunday, July 14.
Many pastors were compelled to return to their churches Saturday night, but the president, Rev. James E. Rose of Rochester, carried out the remainder of the program in a beating way. Rev Vernon John, the guest speaker made a fine impression.
The resolutions committee commended Rev. Lang and the Roosevelt Memorial Baptist Church for the courage and heroic effort in manning the church in Amherst and the splendid war in which the church entered into a conference plague, and the work in patient and orderly way possible.

J. D. Baltimore, Noted Teacher, Scientist, Dead
Washington, D. C.—Jeremiah D. Baltimore, for many years a resident of the city of Washington, and a well-known figure in the world of science and education, after an illness of 14 days, passed away at his residence, 1435 S street northwest, at 7:45 p.m., Monday, July 29, 1929.
He was appointed to the public school of the President Grant, where he served with great distinction and efficiency for a period of 32 years, until his retirement a few years ago. During his lifetime, he was engaged in many activities in the scientific world. He was a member of the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, Pa., and of the Royal Society of Art of London, England. His work in his special field of science brought forth his favorable comments from those of his calling regarded as experts and qualified to pass upon it.
His civic and fraternal activities were known by his membership in the Oldest Inhabitants, where he served as one of its first vice presidents, and in the Masonic Order his affiliation there being with the Eureka Lodge, F. A. A. M., and in the Old Ark Guild, G. U. O. of O. F.
In 1888, he married Miss Jeanette E. Anderson, who was director of art in the public schools of city. Their life together has been one of exemplary devotion and happiness.
He leaves a loving wife, Mrs Jeanette E. Baltimore two devoted sons, attorney Richard L. Baldwin, of New York and Jeremiah A. Baltimore, of this city, and a devoted daughter, Mrs. Ella A. Bryant, to mourn his passing. His funeral services were held at the 19th Street Baptist Church, where he was a faithful member for a number of years, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, officiating.

Westfield, N. J.-More than three hundred men and women gathered at Shady Rest Club, Westfield, Thursday, August 1st, to honor Mrs. Sallie Stewart, president of the National Association of Colored Women. Around the flower decked tables women prominent in club life in their various sections, partook of the excellent luncheon and gained inspiration from the splendid addresses. The exercises, Mrs. A. H. Douglas, Newark, president of the N. J. Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, presiding, opened with chanting the Lord's Prayer. The Federation hymn, "Negro National Anthem," and solo by Miss Mary Douglass, composed the mantra, Rev. Florence Randolph, organizer and for thirteen years president of the N. J. Federation, gave an impressive address that received hearty applause.
Mrs. Stewarts address was a strong, convincing plea for Negro childhood. She gave unstinted praise to her predecessors in office Mrs. Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin, who started the movement; Miss Halia Brown who spoke at the scholarship fund; Boker T. Washington, whose efforts established the National notes; Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, forever associated with the Frederick Douglas home and to Mrs. Mary Bethune, responsible for the national headquarters. With these projects achieved, Mrs. Stewart feels intuitive work important problem confronting us. From comment heard, it is safe to predict, Mrs. Stewart will have support of all who heard her.

An announcement from the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, through its president and general organizer, A. Philip Randolph, Stells of the holding of its first national convention in Chicago beginning September 15. $a$
Mr. Randolph states that a reorganization program is to be executed for purpose of more firmly solidifying and consolidating the organizatin into an international organization, with a constitution defining the varied and farreaching activities of the movement. Delegates are expected from local organizations from all sections, from Florida to the Pacific Coast
It is proposed that a benevolent insurance department will be formed to provide sick and death benefits for the porter, and so relieve him from the paternalistic benevolent organization which is the backbone of the repatriation plan, the so called company union. A pension provision is to be included. The present Pullman pension plan provides $15 to $18 a month to porters who reach 70 years of age, and have been in the service twenty years. President William Green of the American Federation of Labor; Secretary of Labor James J. DePauw; and former Big-Four Brotherhoods are expected to address the convention, with a number of the prominent Negro leaders.
