Presidents Annual Address.
the convention headquarters were in the Walker Building, and in business sessions were held in the Walker Casino. The president's address was delivered on Wednesday night in the auditorium of the Crispus Attacks High School. In his address, Dr. Moton paid a splendid tribute to the late Mme. C. J. Walker, founder of the C. J. Walker manufacturing Co., which business organization was host to the League, declaring her to possess the "vision, energy, capacity and efficiency of an unusual woman."
Continuing, Dr. Moton said: Since the last meeting of the league, the organization has set up for itself two major accomplishments of great practical significance in the direction of constructive achievement. The first of these is the successful completion of a survey of Negro business conducted thirty cities in different parts of the country, which gives a sort of cross-section of conditions in Negro business, and serves as a guide to an understanding of tendencies in the commercial field among our people. This survey was conducted under the direction of our efficient and capable secretary Mr. Albon L. Holsey, and was made possible through the support of the Laura Spelman fund
Chain-Store Group.
the second achievement referred to is the inauguration of a chain-state organization known as the Colored Merchant Association stores that are now functioning in Montgomery, Alabama and in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This movement has as its object the organization of Negro merchants to meet the competition set up by care-store methods, and gives them the advantages to be gained by wholesale buying and modern methods of merchandizing. We have with us at this meeting, and you will hear from later, the two gentlemen from Montgomery, Ala., and again we are indebted to meet largely responsible for, setting up this movement in their secretary of the league, Mr. Holley for extending its activities to Winston-Salem, North Carolina and for enlarging the field of cooperation. We around these two achievements that the discussions of the present session of the league will be grouped and they promise to take a body of information for constructive service such as the organization has never had before.
The Grocery Business
The grocery business which we are considering in this session, ours discloses that the general American average is one grocery store for every three-hundred in the Negro race, there is a grocery store operated by Negroes for every 1800 people. It is that this does not mean that this store is getting the patrons; this number of our own store rather means that there are the white grocery stores supplying the needs of Negro families operated by Negroes. Here is for ambitions, youth among
And this matter of the comparative attraction of business and the professions brings out another interesting sidelight; the directory of national conventions in its annual report, lists 168 annual conventions held in different parts of the country. Of this number 83, or almost exactly one-half, represent purely business organizations, one of which is the National Negro Business League. Now, among Negroes we have any number of national gatherings, but only a very small part of them are for business purposes: as a matter of fact, we have not more than five such gatherings. This does not mean that our people are giving too much attention to religion, education, civic welfare and health, but it does mean that business is being neglected and business is the for the race, as well as for the individual.
Cooperation Tendency.
As we look over the whole field of business in America, the outstanding tendency is towards cooperation; that is, towards the development of great business organizations in which the retail merchant becomes a cog in the great enterprise reaping the advantages of large scale buying, advertising, organization and distribution. The day of the small independent merchant has passed. The hope of future for the great business man is for all others, as to become identified with these vast organizations and to go along with the tide of progress
Then always, everywhere, is the matter of efficiency which means industry, reliability, honesty intelligence, training and service. There is no room in America today for slip-ship methods. Strict attention must be given to every detail of business to buying, selling, accounting, to advertising, to everything that makes for diminishm the cost of operation and for the largest measure of service at the lowest measure of cost.
The Secretaries Report.
Albon J. Holsey, secretary in his annual report, told of the chain store system which had been inaugurated in Montgomery and Selma. Ala., and in Winston-Salem, N. C. and recommended that 500 Negro grocers in thirty cities form similar cooperative associations. The committee on resolutions made a comprehensive report, referring particularly to the survey of Negro businesses, and recommending the naming of a committee to coopfer with the Federal Farm Board at. Washington with regard to relief for the Negro farmers in all sections of the country. The report read in part as follows. Whereas, the report of the Survey of Negro Business conducted by the National Negro Business League during 1928 has been officially presented to the national body, which furnishes for the first time in history a cross sectional picture of the present status of Negro business and suggests a basis for the future activity of the League.
Responsible for Survey.
Be it Resolved, that those who made this Survey possible—the Laura Spellman Foundation, which furnished the funds, Dr Moton, president A. L. Holsey the secretary; Gordon H. Simpson, field director; Bert M. Roddy, vice president of the League, J. H. Harmon jr., and Wendell H. Boulton, field workers, be commended for their work; and we respectfully recommend that the study be furthered to include the problems of specialized types of business not covered in the previous report, and Be it further resolved that the Negro press, the associated Negro Press, and daily publications throughout the country be thanked for their continued cooperation

Welcome By Mayor.
These delegates were officially welcomed to the city by His Honor, Mayor James J. Walker, in a public meeting at St. Mark's M. E. Church, the Rev. John W. Robinson, pastor, on Tuesday evening. In extending the welcome of the city the mayor paid a tribute to local colored nurses when he said that a very good record has been kept of the district and cited the work being done at Harlem and Lincoln Hospitals.

Every Group Must Help.
"The healthier we all are, the safer we are" she said. "Every group must help an raising the general health standards of its community. The need for rural health education in the South is very great. Down there Negroes are not allowed to enter many of the large hospitals, for training and this accounts for many of the must, necessarily, have low standards. However we have instandards. However, we have indications that schools will be opened up in the South within the next few years."
Mrs. Mabel Doyle heaton, executive secretary of the Harlem Committee, New York Health and Tuberculosis Committee, presided.
Belle Davis Speaks.
Ignorance, superstition and fatalism kill more Negroes annually than tuberculosis. Miss Belle Davis executive secretary of the National Health Circle for Colored People. Urging more training schools for colored nurses in the South as a means of overcoming indifference to health, Miss Davis said to the finest thing the white, race could do would be to help educate the Negro the same as whites along health lines.
"It makes no difference how far apart the white and dark races are, disease germs travel from group to group and as long as health conditions are bad among the Negroes the white race must also suffer," she said.

The Mayor told of attending the golden wedding anniversary of Alderman and Mrs Fred R. Moore, held at the 369th armory, saying it was his first visit to the armory and that when Alderman Moore took him on an inspection tour of the building he discovered its inadequacy for the soldiers' use, that the soldiers had to dine their uniforms in the basement, in the midst of furnaces, steam and gas pipes, and near to the toilets and lavatories. As a result, the city has made a belated golden wedding present to Alderman Moore of $2,000,000 for the building of which he will mark the completion of the armory, making it one of the finest and most modern on the country, with every convenience for the boys of the 369th Regiment. "And the Mayor of the City of New York is telling you this," he concluded
"My opponents," said the Mayor, "may brag of what they have done or will do for the colored people. If they ask 'what is Walker doing?' I reply 'nothing. Whatever I'm doing is for the benefit of all races alike'"

Two members of what is alleged to have been a gang dealing in stolen, leather goods, were caught Monday in the act of removing luggage from the factory of Kaplan and Gordon of 141 Fifth Avenue. According to the proprietor of the establishment, $30,000 worth of leather goods have been stolen in the past few months.
The arrest came through the alertness of Policeman Arthur Cooper, whose post covers the territory of the Kaplan and Gordon building. He noticed a colored taxicab driver putting bundles into his cab.

Ross D. Pitts, Holding Responsible Job With Coca Cola Co., Receives Threats By Mail and By Telephone
Threats against his life by means of anonymous letters and by telephone calls to his wife have not caused Ross D. Pitts of 196 Bradhurst avenue to give up his job with the Coca Cola Co., 48 East 166th street, which job he has held successfully for the past seven years.
Mr. Pitts is in charge of one of the company's large trucks, delivering cases of Coca Cola to the Co. You seem to take all things stores in Harlem which handle it. We say as a joke. We will stop He has succeeded in building up a young from working at a great loss, large patronage, so much so that Why be a fool and keep this job practically three districts, with at a price so great as your life, his territory has been divided into. This is not a threat but just trying to give you a break. Mr. Pitts concentrating his efforts write this am being well paid to Harlem proper
Anonymous Threats.
It is due entirely to his successful achievements that he has become the target for jealous and despiteful activities on part of some individuals who would like to separate him from his job. Since last fall, Mr. Pitts has received about a half-dozen letters advising him to give up his job with the Coca-Cola people, declaring that his failure to do so would mean death. These threats not having the desired effect, his advertisements have resorted to telephoning his wife, telling her that her husband's life will only be spared through changing his occupation.
An attempt was made last October by three men, two colored, the white, to hold up Mr. Pitts, as it was known that he collects several hundred dollars every day. The attempted holdup was not successful, however, as he had already deposited the money in the company's office, and besides he succeeded in fighting off the thugs. The attack was made at 155th street and Eighth avenue after he had put up his truck for the night.
The first anonymous letter reached him shortly after this attack, telling him that if he was fool enough to fight to protect the company's money, which is insured, the next attack would have malatious effects. A letter followed one of them declaring that the job is holding a white mustn' job and that he must get out or be killed.
Police Pay Little Heed
Several of the letters were finally turned over to the police, but they paid little attention to them. Two of the missives were handed Detective Mara Franz of the 161st street precinct, but they were thrown into the waste basket. One of the letters was mailed May 2 at 4 p.m. through the College Staunton branch postoffice, and it reads as follows:
Rose D. Pitts. Dear sir. We have tried four different ways to let you know that your presence in

Rent Law Is Upheld
In Municipal Court
A tenant who refused to vacate his apartment and sought protection under the new municipal emergency rent laws after his landlord had given him thirty days notice was upheld by Justice Joseph A. Fontanelli in the Fighth District Municipal Court, 30 West 35th street, in a decision handed down Tuesday. The judge held that Edward Milano, a tenant at 232 East 116th street was not compelled to vacate his apartment on notice from his landlord.
There are several similar cases pending but it is expected that the decision of Justice Fontanelli will stop landlords from continuing this practice.
New York is not wanted as long as you work for the Coca-Cola Co. You seem to take all things we say as a joke. We will stop you from working at a great loss. Why be a fool and keep this job at a price so great as your life? This is not a threat but just trying to give you a break. I who write this am being well paid to see that you go west, but if you still insist on being stubborn I will earn my pay. At least you will die knowing I gave you a chance. As I hand you this think how easily it would have been to fulfill my mission. Don't look for the bearer of this note as by time you finish I will be out of town only to come back to finish the job. Hoping you will give this most undivided attention. I remain, respectively yours. LAST CHANCE
Refuses To Shame
Mr. Pitts is still on the job and refuses to be jerked off. He has applied to a permit to carry a gun, and in the meantime he is fussing the even tenor of his way. Efforts to entrap him have not availed. Telephone orders for cases of Coca-Cola to be delivered to some new address have not been heeded, the company not catering to private homes
On one occasion, a telephone call reached Mr. Pitts at home and visited him that Mrs. Pitts was seriously injured by an automobile at an uptown corner, and wanted him to come at once. Dit Mrs. Pitts had just stepped out to a nearby store, and the trick did not work. Indications are that whoever is responsible for the threats sent Mr. Pitts must have some inside knowledge as to his working schedule and methods especially as to his telephone connections, as his number is not listed in the telephone directory.
Dear Mr. Grenthal.
We in the eastern part of the 19th Assembly, District, are obliged to let you know that we want a colored Assemblyman and Alderman of our own choice, and must not be dragooned by you into accepting any but our own "majority rule candidates" and of our own choice.
It is of small impression to us that you "squawk" about our raising a race issue in such a matter "We Want To Rule Where We Are In The Majority, That's All."
Frank, Mr. Grenthal, we want representative government and you should cease violating our constitutional rights in this matter over our protests. How dare you continue to humiliate and browbeat us "unthinking Negroes" in your selfish specially arrogant way?
You are hereby called on to retire voluntarily from dominating the political affairs of colored Harlem. You do not live in this District. You may retire now with your political integrity intact for whether you want to immortality, not member, yes, remember, that there is tremendous sentiment in East Harlem of defeating you by the same "unthinking Negroes" who know that you have absolutely no use for us except around election time.
We must no longer be brow-beaten by your czar-like cruel, unwanted decision and, shall support Francis Rivers for Assemblyman: Fred R. Moore for Alderman, and Colonel Willmore for leader, as our own choice. We cannot suffer any worse by your reprisals. We are tired of having our manhood submerged "Retire. Mr. Grenthal, now retire with your political integrity "all aglow.

August reports from temples of Daughters of Elkdom throughout the country indicate the selection of a new Grand Daughter Ruler at the meeting of she Grand Lodge in Atlantic City this month. All the signs point to the choosing of Mrs. Abbie M. Johnson of Philadelphia, as the new leader of the Daughters of I. B. P. O. E. of W. She was formerly vice grand daughter ruler and barely missed succeeding to the office at the meeting of the Elk Grand Temple in Chicago last August. She has imitated a mature body of Elks as a forceful leader with wisdom and the conviction is fixed that if chosen to lead, Mrs. Johnson will propose a constructive program which, when achieved, will be of lasting benefit to Elk women and their children.
Her friends and admirers in the Elk world, have been working zealously and aggressively for her election at Atlantic City, because of her fitness in every way for the chief office. She has won a great army of supporters on account of the dignified course she has pursued as a candidate for grand daughter ruler. She has avoided personal reference to the present holder of the office and kept before Daughter Elks, the pressing need of an administration that would employ the talent and resources of the Order for the permanent good and benefit of the entire membership. She advocates the establishment and operation of a home for Aged and Infirm Daughter Elks. She also proposes that Elk women take a sincere and material interest in delinquency children with the aim of assisting other agencies in fitting them for useful citizenship.
Many of the stronger and mosa far-sighted women leaders of the Daughter Elks are urging the election of Abbie Johnson because they are firmly convinced that her advocacy of a home and headquarters for Elk women, is a sound and sensible proposal. She wants to make the Elk Women's Home and Headquarters a bee-dive of education and industry. She has asserted her belief that the great need of our women has been ported to less than to do work required by her employment powers of industrial and business life. She has faith and is firmly convinced that Daughter Elks are willing to choose, support and stand behind a leader whose statesmanship will be employed improving their working and living conditions as well as revealing new opportunities to them.
Her insistence that Daughter Elks as a national body should be seriously concerned about the des-

tiny of the race as a group; that women of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. should pool their interests and the interest of their dependents with other women groups of the race, has won respect for her ideals and confidence in her leadership. Her election therefore, will receive popular public approval. Mrs. Johnson gives proof of her farsight by asserting that, if elected grand daughter ruler of the Elks, during her administration she will do her utmost to further a National Fraternal Council of Negro women. This National Council is to be composed of the Grand Officers and, State and Local Officers of all fraternal organizations of race women. She asserts that there is need of a Fraternal Clearing Group among women of the race to intensify and establish cooperation with civilians for racial betterment. Her progressive leadership is already, being prophesied as an asset of Elkdom and the prediction that she will be elected by a large majority at Atlantic City, is being freely made throughout the country. Daughter Elks are already prophesying a new day for the race and Elkdom when Grand Daughter - Ruler Abbie Johnson points the way.

Fireman Is Killed
And Two Companions
Hurt As Car Hits Truck
An alleged drunken fireman was killed and his two companions seriously injured, when the car in which they were ciding crashed into the rear of a five-truck at 147th street and Bradhurst avenue. The dead fireman is Albert Sheehan, 27, attached to Engine Company No. 80. He drove his car past a patrolman who tried to halt the party and hit the truck at full speed. The driver of the truck, Henry Robinson, colored of 282 West 142nd street, said he was driving north on Bradhurst avenue when the firemen's machine, going south suddenly swerved into the left side of his truck.
The two injured firemen are Joseph M. Egan, 36 of 501 West 178th street and Thomas Kelly, 35, of 120 East 120th street. They received lacerations of the face and head and suffered from the shock. The mobile in which the three riders wounded is completely demolished. Robinson, the driver of the truck, was exonerated of any blame in connection with the accident.
Dunbar Nat'l Bank Ends Thrift Book Bank Drive
The campaign for new thrift accounts which the Dunbar National Bank ran during the moth of July, was successfully completed at the end of the month.
Approximately twenty-six hundred book banks were distributed to prospective depositors, many of whom have since opened accounts with the banks, ranging in sizes from one dollar to $900.
The winner of the contest among the solicitors, the prize being a $5 gold piece, was Mia Lucille Oliver, who was graduated in June from the Virginia State College, Petersburg, Va., with the degree of bachelor of arts.
Miss Oliver distributed over two hundred and seventy of the book banks and stated that in her opinion, the reason of her success in the face of the fact that she was a stranger in New York City, was due to perseverance, constancy and persistency.
Miss Oliver is staying with her sister, Mrs. W. B. Jefferson, in the city, and will return to Virginia in the fall to assume a position as teacher.

Prof. Chas. J. H. Moore of Greensboro, N.

In the meantime, he is not overlooking the interesting sights and unusual events which are more or less happening daily among the variegated "passing throng" along the different thoroughfares of the

much-discussed Harlem.
The professor called at the 'office' of The New York Age on Monday to pay his respects to Editor and Alderman Moore and to the newspaper staff. As he was concluding, His visit, a member of the staff 'took opportunity to interrogate the author and the author of the Tar Heel State' is to his views upon the political situation in Harlem.
Puzzling and Discouraging.
With emphasis, Prof. Moore declared it was not only uncalled for, but is puzzling and discouraging from a racial standpoint to the outsider.
Wied 'his opinion' as to Mr. Grenthal's alleged position, to wit, that the time has not yet arrived for Negro political leadership in this bathhill, and, besides, that members of the race do not want such leadership because they are distrustful of it; there came unholy, the likely that 'if such as Mr. Grenthal's or any other white man opinion, he is far away from his base.'
Continuing along this line, Prof. Moore said: "The Negro is not the only race group that differ among themselves—and have individual preferences as to who shall be their political representatives. Other races agree to differ for one reason or another, on some phase of the political situation; but in the analysis of race members of their respective race groups to represent them, and do not go outside and get members of another race group because they have no confidence in their own."
---
Compares The South.
Falling into a reminiscent mood, the North Carolinian referred to political conditions in the South following the civil war. "Forty or fifty years ago," he said "the white President leader in the South was in the habit of saying to his colored associate in the party, who might aspire to some political honor, you must wait awhile; you are not yet qualified intellectually and otherwise for such a position. 'Many of us, however who were born and who lived in the South during that period, theocalled second generation days know that gentle reminder not yet qualified, didn't have much weight with some of our race political leaders, as the records of the U. S. Congress and the different legislatures of the southern states verify.
Now, it is half a century ago, when the forfeees of the present generation had but recently been emancipated from slavery, and with a qualification of about ten per cent literacy, they had sufficient racial self-respect and manhood then to demand and contend for political representatives of their own race group, when they knew they were numerically strong in their respective political divisions, now much more so, who, during these past fifty years, have been qualifying them elys educationally, economically and otherwise, and, moreover, constituting about ninety per cent of the electorate of the district, insist upon selecting their own rate groups.
"For anyone to think and advise to the contrary, under the present circumstances, is unreasonable and absolutely absurd. Furthermore, it is a sad reflection upon the intelligence and manhood of any Negro to allow any white man or any black man to make and use him as a puppet to advance his own selfish political aspirations."

SHRINERS HOLD 30th CONVENTION IN CHICAGO, ILL. Caesar Blake Reelected Imperial Potentate; DePriest Speaks
By WM. C. KILPATRICK (33).
Chicago, Ill.—Caesar R. Blake Jr. (33), was unanimously reelected as imperial potentate when the Shriners held their 30th annual convention here last week.
In his address, the imperial potentate declared that the Negro as a group of people must stand together in political action if we are to accomplish our citizenship and rights as full-dedged Americans.
While Masonry exercises no political opinion, Mr. Blake suggested that we support the political party which will enforce the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution, which guarantee our rights to citizenship
Important Legislation
Among the important legislation was the sending out of two commissions—one to find ways and means to institute an educational policy for the higher education of our boys and girls; and the other to make plans, on recommendation of Dr. Banton, grand master of Delaware, for a sanitarium to care for tuberculars among our group. Among those who addressed the Convention was Congressman Oscar DePriest, who asked that all citizens of color get familiar with the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence. He urged them to use their political power in various sections in which they lived.
Bishop A. J. Carey of the A. M. E. Church, spoke in behalf of the clergy. Other speakers were Major Robert R. Jackson, Councilman of Chicago; Dr. Banton, Superintendent of the State Hospital, Wilmington, Del; James A. Jackson of the Department of Commerce, Washington, D. C. and City Attorney H. D. Saltiel, representative Mayor Thompson who was absent from the city.
Wednesday's Parade.
On Wednesday morning, the convention adjourned for the spectacular terminated at the American Giants Park Six teams entered competitive drilling Sinia Temple of Cincinnati won first prize Persian Temple of Indianapolis second, and Medina Temple of New York, third. The winning patrols gave exhibition drills and were awarded their prizes before a packed audience at the Coliseum. Dr. Sumner A.

The Imperial Council.
On Friday, the Imperial Council completed its election, rotating its officers up to make place for Noble Frank Brown of Cincinnati, who moved into the Dyian on the strength of an absentee.
Bishop W T Vernon laid aside some of his special duties and pushed to the convention from Arkansas before it closed. He touched on the beautiful life of Frederick Douglass, that of Paul Lawrence Dumbar, Harriet Beecher Stowe, William Lloyd Garrison, Christopher Attuck; and that whatever he had been able to contribute to humanity belonged to the record of a man born of slave parents. In closing his discourse he said that the black man was successfully, and intellectually marching to the front.
Convention To Urge. Passing By Congress Of Construction Bill
Kansas City, Kansas.—Plans will be drawn at the 30th national convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U. S. at Saint Paul, Minn. August 25-31st, for the mobilization of veteran forces of the nation behind the $11,000,000 hospital construction bill now pending in congress, Eugene P. Carver jr., Boston, Mass., national commander, declared in a statement released from national headquarters.
"It becomes evident as each day passes that hospital facilities for disabled veterans are entirely inadequate. This necessity is constantly increasing and medical experts of the U. S. Veterans Bureau predict this increase will continue until 1947." Carver emphasized. "Delay in furnishing hospitalization for veterans suffering from mental diseases and tuberculosis is truly criminal." Carver charges, "and unless Congress gives its support to the bill introduced by Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers, congresswoman from Massachusetts, existing conditions will be more deplorable than ever."
"The national legislative committee of the V. F. W. will continue to insist that these hospital facilities be made available to all veterans of all wars, even if they are on the rested list or in the reserves, without deduction from pensions or compensation."
"Furthermore," Carver added, "We will still demand an out-patient and clinical treatment service by Veterans Bureau Hospitals and regional offices for the welfare of disabled veterans discharged from hospitals until in need of medical attention."
The national commander stressed this problem as the major issue to be placed before the next session of Congress. Steps will be taken at the Saint Paul convention to enlist the efforts of delegates present in the campaign to win congressional sanction of the hospitalization bill. A systematic method of distributing information in this regard and presentation of ap- plications to congressmen and senators will be carried on in each district.
"We are asking nothing for the able-bodied." Carver announced "The veteran - physically able to care for dependents and himself is grateful for the benefits already bestowed by this government. But we are not disabled." Dies he given a fighting chance for their lives, with proper hospitalization facilities and much needed medical attention."

During the meeting of the league, receptions were given at the "V" in honor of male and female visitors, who showered Miss May B. Belcher with praise for her successful women and girls of Indianapolis a civic centre which is modern in every respect and most inspiring in its environment.
Miss Belchier organized the Phyllis Wheatley Branch in 1923. Today it has a membership of 1,400, employs five professional secretaries, and from twelve to fifteen part-time secretaries. The membership is divided into membership circles known as membership circles. There are health, education, membership, girl reserve, industrial, business and music secretaries.
On the first floor is a spacious lobby whose attractiveness is enhanced by a fireplace, both artistic and practical; also committee and business offices; a library, information desk, girls' parlor, three offices and gymnasium.
A club room, music-room, three class rooms and balcony to gymnasium are on the second floor, while on the third floor are thirty bedrooms, shower baths, small laundry and girls' sitting room. The roof garden overlooks the city. In the last room are music pool, kitchens, text room, shilequipped kitchen and shower baths. The building will be formally dedicated in October.

THE NEW YORK AGE
List of Negro Members of North Carolina Legislature During The Period Covering From 1868 to 1899
Thirty Years Since Race Held Seat In Senate or Lower House—Compilation Is Made By White Writer, a Former Newspaper Man In an exclusive interview appearing in this issue of The New York Age, Prof. Chas. H. Moore of Greensboro, N. C., cites records of southern states in securing elective representation in the period immediately following the war, 1868 to 1899, to prove the fallacy of assertions alleged to have been made by certain white Republican leaders to the effect that the "Negro is not yet qualified for political leadership."
In confirmation of his statement, there appeared in the Daily News, published in Greenboro, on August 18, a special article written by Fred A. Olds, a former newspaper man, now in Raleigh, who compiled a list of Negroes who served in the North Carolina Legislature and in the Constitutional Conventions of 1868 and 1875. This article, of historic interest, is as follows:
By FRED A. OLDS
(In Greenboro Daily News)
Raleigh, August 17- The story of the Negro membership in North Carolina legislatures is quite interesting particularly so as a generation has grown up since the last ones served, for 30 years have passed since that era. Their participation in legislation covered a period from 1868 to 1899, both years inclusive, that is, 30 years.
Lists have appeared in some publications the fullest one in an issue of one of the various "manuals," covering the state. The writer has endeavored to compile a complete list and this follows. Corrections may have to be made in this roster of members of the state legislature. The list is added a list of the Negro members of two state constitutional conventions; that of 1868 and the one of 1875.

Trenton Woman Wins Suit To Set Aside Divorce Husband Got
Trenton, N. J.-Joseph King
well-to-do resident of Princeton
N. J. tired of married life after
twenty-five years and betook him
to Detroit in 1925 where he
applied for a divorce from his wife,
Mrs. Alice King, of Lyle street,
mother of his three grown daughters.
Mrs. King, in her bill of complaint to the Court of Chancery here, alleged that Mr. King went to Detroit for the specific purpose of obtaining his divorce and returned to Princeton just about the time his decree there was granted on such grounds as no court in New Jersey would grant him a decree.
Besides asking the court to vacate the foreseeance, Mrs. King also claims alimony for abandonment and counsel fees.
On a recent date Chancellor Walker signed an interlocutory decree against Mr. King, confirming the allegations set forth in Mrs. King's bill of complaint. Counsellor Robert Queen, of Trenton and Camden, represents Mrs. King in this case.

Students Interview
Day Line President
on Tuesday morning, August 20, a delegation from the Student's Literary Association had a conference with O. V. S. Olcott, president and General manager of the Hudson River Day Lines, with regard to the recent boat excursion taken by the association to Indian Point, at which time the members and their guests were barred from the swimming pool.
A letter of protest sent Mr. Olcott had drawn only the curt reply that the incident would be investigated. No other answer forthcoming the delegation called on Mr. Olcott personally, and the following is a stenographic account of the conference:
When questioned about his promise to have the matter carefully investigated, he admitted the charges were substantially correct.
Q—Is it the policy of the Company to discriminate against Negroes?
A—After a lengthy pause, he said "No" slowly.
Q. "Is it true that you told a press reporter that in case a group of Negroes appeared at the pool the company would close the pool for that day?"
A. "Yes, the pool is a private business and the Company may close it any time."
Q. "Then you admit that your company maintains a policy of discrimination?"
A. "No. But there are a bunch of fighting Irishmen from Plank's Point who may cause disturbance."
Q. "Is it not unfair to extract money from Negroes under the pretence that they are going to enjoy all the facilities at Indian Point, the pool which is extensively advertised being the outstanding attraction, and make them face this embarrassing situation? Would it not be much better to advise Negroes of this situation at the pler."
A. "I couldn't very well do that. We 'extract', using your own word, from thousands of other people of other races. But, if I was asked,
I would suggest that they go to Bear Mountain, where there is a proximity of dressing and undressing among the races, I was told. It may hurt the feeling of some of our patrons at Indian Point to allow this sort of thing.
Q—"Don't you believe that Negroes have feelings that can also be hurt, and should also be protected?"
A—"Yes, I am in deep sympathy with the Negro. I have a Negro cook. In fact some of the Negroes are very orderly. One of our ship attendants remarked, that if all of our patrons were as orderly as some of the Negroes on our ships, we would have little trouble.
Q—"What is the fixed policy of your company?"
A—"The company has no fixed policy. If Negroes went up there on a picnic and there were five tables, rather than sit in the middle among the white people it would be better for them to occupy two tables in the corner."
Q.-Then you admit the policy of the company is to discriminate against Negroes?
A.-I have many friends who are Negroes. Robert R Moton is a friend of mine and one of the best Americans in the country. I have also dined with Booker T. Washington.
"What do you think of Robert R Moton?" he suddenly asked the interviewers.
Reply-"We have the same opinion of Moton as you have."
Mr. Olcott concluded with this free advice-"I think that Negroes would be better off if they would follow Booker T. Washington and Moton, rather than this Marcus Garvey and DuBois."
The delegation ended the interview by informing Mr. Olcott that he is dealing with Negroes of the Twentieth Century.
The delegation was composed of Emile G. Thomas, president S. L. A.; Fred Campbell, chairman Con Committee

“© “SPEAKEASY”" AS AN ISSUE.
= #4 New twist has been given to the
~Mmayorklty campaign by the announce-
“Met made by William M. Bennett, that
“he ‘is a candidate for the ‘nomination,
with the closing of the speakeasies as his
xWlogun, Mr, Bennett has been a candi-
‘Wate for Mayor before, when he defeated
he late John Purroy Mitchell in the Re-
‘publican primary and upset the plans of
Phe fusionists, He turns up again this
prar to try to divide the Republican sup:
sport of Representative LaGuardia.
{As his reason for entering the race
Pir. Bennett alleged that there are thir-
{Povo thousand speakeasies in the city,
‘Prd that “everybody knows that they are
‘paying at ‘least one thousand dollars a
‘rear each.” He added that: some pay
Pore. He attacked the speakeasy as the
"poreeding place ,of the criminal and the
‘Packeteer. He termed” it the real issue
‘Wpe@his city, which is the reason why this
Pileged graft strikes at the heart of city
ernment. He furthermore avowed
pe liking for Mr, LaGuardia, with the be-
Mef that he -is honest. But he differed
“from him on the question of whether the
speakeasies could be closed. He felt that
the Republican party must have a candi-
Wate who will close them, and modest-
ly: presents himseli as that candidate.
While Mr. Bennett may assert that
everybody knows that speakeasies to the
number + thirty-two thousand are pay-
ing somebcily in authority one thousand
Actare ay car for the privilege of selling
ailezed liquor. it is not so easy to prove
it. Not that the statement is outside the
realm of probability, but it is difficult to
“prove “or disprove. That some of these
speukeasies are resorts for criminals is
very likely as the police authorities ad-
mit that much and frequently raid them
for that specific reason. That racketeer-
ing. or the extortion. of money irom busi-
ness men and the building trades for the
privilege of doing business, is a regular
form of banditry practised by gunmen,
now called racketeers, is another fact
corroborated by police investigation.
That these racketeers do not hesitate to
commit assault, murder and arson in the
extortion of money from their -victims
“bas also been demonstrated. liicidents
pf retailers forced out of busitess by
Rhreats of violence are related in certain
peighborhoods. _
- But the suppression of this racketeer-
Ing is but another phase of the war upon
Erime and criminals which is being waged
by the police department all the, time.
at is not likely ‘that Mr. Bennett would
be able ‘to combat it more vigorously
than: would Mr. LaGuardia, or for the
wrtter of that, than it has been fought
under the administration of Mayor Walk-
P ruais are too many important ques-
tions of city administration to make
Bpeakeasy graft the main issue,

Himself shout 18 or 1090. Harrigan hime
self had always played the role of the neigh-
borhood Irishman of affluence. Jn his pro-
Guction of Pete, the frat of his independent
plays, "he took the part of a. coloted. man,
ind his friends were’ apprehensive a3. to. how
successful he would be in that character
‘That wasajust about forty years after the
Civil War, and members of the Grand Army
cof the Republic were reaping the fullest mea-
ture of theic attention to the cause of dhe
Union. Harrigan saved the play with a single
song entitled The Cruel Slavery Days Have
Pasted Away, whieh he delivered with a
reat deal of pathos and much feeling, with
s'Tittle ‘colored boy’ seated on one knee ‘and
3 little colored giel on the other: .
Child come to me and sit upon my knee,

Bend down lox, black people, for to pray,
For the shackle and the band

‘And. the cruel slevery days have passed
away. .
While this reference to the colored
population is kind enough and tolerant
enough to prevent any suspicion.of racial
bias or intolerance on the part'of the
author, it betrays his naif conception of
Negro character status as largely derived
from his recollections of Harrigan and
Hart's impersonations. This may help
to explain the failure of Mr. Smith
as Governor to recognize the Negro as
2 full-fledged citizen gr as a potential
factor in politics. .
It may be that this failure of under-
standing cost, Mr. Smith enough votes in
such doubtful states as New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and other parts of
the East and West, as to help largely to
defeat him for the Presidency. Sympa-
thetic consideration of the oldtime stage
Negro, as*delineated by white comedi-
ans in the eighties, is well enough, but
an ambitious politician should have some
understanding of the Negro of today,
who has quite a different personality.
THE.POWER OF INJUNCTION.
The Executive Council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, in its meeting
at Atlantic City last week, completed the
draft of its anti-injunction bill to be sub-
mitted. to the United States Senate for
enactment into law. This bill, as re-
written, is said.to prohibit specifically the
issuance of injunctions by United States
courts to prevent strikes, and sets aside
the decision of the Supreme court in the
Hitchman case on which the so-called
“yellow dog” contracts are based, besides
other decisions of a similar nature. It
also lifnits the scope of the famous deci-
sion in the case of the Danbury hatters.
In the Hitheman case referred to, the
court held that a’ contract for employ-
ment terminable at will, which bound the
employed not to join or retain member-
ship in a labor union, would warrant an
injunction restraining unions from ask-
ing men so employed to join them or to
take part ina strike. The bill also pro-
hibits the granting under any circum-
stances of temporary injunctions for
more than five days, without giving the
respondent 2 hearing, The complainant
must also file bonds to recoup the de-
fendants for all expenses including law-
yers” fees, if the writ is vacated at the
full hearing. Other provisions of the
bill would nullify injunctions “hitherto
granted in the West Virginia miners cas-
es and also in the recent strike of the
New Orleans streetcar employees.
_ These chinges as to the granting of
labor injunctions in Jabor disputes arg
demanded in the name of public ‘policy.
as defined by a declaration of the council.
As unorganized workers are usually help-
less to better their terms and conditions
of employment, it is necessary that there
should be freedom from interference, re-
straint or coercion of Iabor or its agents
in its concerted activities for the purpose
of collective bargaining. This is the rea-
son for the limitations sought to be put
upon the action of the United States

- A DISADVANTAGEOUS PROMO. |:trumentalities as the |
. earn: ‘al Business League
| In The ;Age of last week our Washing:
ton correspondent referred “to a rumor
being circulated to the effect that Presi-
dent Hoover contemplated the naming
of Walter L, Cohen of Louisiana..to ‘be
minister to Liberia, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of William T, Fran-
cis. ‘The ostensible reasons advanced for
ie step were to give Mr. Cohen a pro-
motion and at the shme time to pacify
the Louisiana Lilywhite Republicans,
who have been trying for some time’ to
undermine Cohen and drive him from of-
fice.
‘The disadvantages of such action by
the Presigent, even under the guise of a
promotion in rank, are manifest, both as
it'would personally affect MP Cohen and
incits general relation to the political in-
terests’ of the race, As Comptrollér of
Customs at New Orleans, Mr. Cohen oc-
cupies the only position of importance
south ‘of Mason and “Dixon's line, filled
by Presidential appointment. He has
fulfilled the duties of @he office with
ability and discretion, miceting successful-
ly the many attempts of his ‘political ene-
mies to discredit him, both personally
and offically, “His courage and under-
standing demand that he should, be re-
tained in office as a suitable representa:
tive of the ‘race, which has such inade-
quate representation in the public service.
Aside from the public and political side
of such a so-called promotion, the trans-
lation of Mr, Cohen's activities to anoth-
er continent and to another line of duty.
E fis age, would ifvolve 2 personal ‘sac-
rifice that should not be demanded, Mr.
‘Céhen is now in the neighborhood of
‘seventy’ vears of age. but endowed “with
ample vigor and experience to discharge
[his duties in’ the Customs service. Trans-
ferred, to a trying climate and unfamil-
iar duties and surroundings would in-
vvolve a draft on his vital powers, which
would probably prove too exacting.
There have heen too many American
‘ministers t3 Liberia, whose health has
not been equal to the strain of an alien
‘climate and new’ responsibilities. We
have only to recall the kaines ‘of Henry
Highland Garnet, Minister McCoy of In-
diana, Dr. Crumt of South Carolina, James
L. Curtis of New York, and now Willian
T. Francis of Minnesota, to realize that
but few of the American representatives
to that republic return alive, to the Unit-
ed States.
Mr. Cohen should be retairted in the
post which he so ably fills in his native
state, A younger man of adequate at-
tainments and character ‘and of sound
constitution ‘should be sent to Liberia,
to represent the friendly interest that
this country takes and has taken in the
material development of this progressive
‘West African republic,

{tis sigmiheant that the principal subh-
ject of discussion at the thirticth annual
meeting of the National Negro Rusiness
“League, which met at Indianapolis last
week, was Retail Merchandizing. ‘The
problems of the retailer in buying his
stock, a well as in disposing of it at a
profit, were discussed by speakers from
various sections, many of whom had a
practical knowledge of the subject. The
present status of Negro business. was
surveyed, defects and shortcomings ana-
lyzed and the remedies and improvements
necessary pointed out to those interested.
Greater attention was concentrated up-
on the practical measures recommended
dor. the furtherance of business enterpris-
¢s, such as cooperative “marketing and
the development of salesmanship. The
former neglect of the retail field was rec-
ognized as causing the sacrifice of the
greatest opportunity offered to gain eco-
nomic independence. As one of the lead-
ers of the present movement lamented,
our brightest boys have heen sent into
the medical profession or the classroom,
while others who have earned degrees,
finding tio desk jobs ‘open to them, have
gorie into hotel or railroad service rather
than soil their hands in selling flour and
Sard.
Ridicule and scorir have been heaped
upon the grocers and small merchants.
according to this same authority, while
the preachers. and professional men have
been coddled and looked up to as mod-
els of wisdom and discretion. While this
view of the situation may be a little dis;
torfed, tere ix enough truth in the pic-
ture to make it plausible. A six months
old survey of some one hundred and
twenty students in one of our universi-
ties was quoted as showing: Sixty-nine
who planned to follow medicine; over
thirty who -aspired — to « the

CHURCH AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
The regular corporate communion of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew was held in conjunction with the regular 8 a. m., communion service of the church with the Rev. Emmett E. Miller in charge.
After the communion service breakfast was served by 'Mrs. Charlotte Robinson' to the Brotherhood members and Rev. Emmett E. Miller in the parish house.
At the 11 a. m., a wonderful, and masterly sermon was preached by the Rev. Emmett E. Miller from the end verse, 29th chapter of the Book of Joshua. The theme of the sermon was a comparison of the similarity of the history of the Negro in America with the islands of the sea with the history of the Jewish race.
He stated that the Negro had surpassed the record made by the Jews or any other people for progress in the arts, science, invention, music and other lines of endeavor, and warned the present day Jews of their change of attitude towards the Negro, who not only leads in the above name lines, but is one of the chief formers of public opinion not only in this country but throughout the entire world. The exhibition and drama of the Daily Vacation Bible School was held Friday night, and was a complete success. The regular evening services are held promptly at 8 p. m., and the preacher during August is the Rev. Emmett E. Miller, who will leave here to begin his labors at the Bishop Payne Divinity School at Petersburg, Va.
Grace Church of Harlem
In the absence of Dr. Garner, the pastor of Grace Congregational Church, who is attending the Interdenominational Conference at Hampto, Va., the courtesy of the pulpit was extended to Rev. A. G. Coleman.
Rev. Coleman took his text from Matthew 21 22. And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing ye shall receive them of Mr. Coleman's discourse where that no matter what we ask God for in prayer if it is asked in the right Spirit he will grant it. Not always in our own way but always in the way that he thinks best for us.

St. James Pres. Church
The Rev. R. A Fairley of Tabor Prebysterian Church, Washington, D. C., minister in charge of the pulpit of St. James Presbysterian Church last Sunday, morning and evening, lived up to, and even surpassed, the many good things which had been said in anticipation of his coming . . . New York City leaves behind a wonderful impression on the many hearts of the many listeners to the two delivered by him.
Next Sunday St. James is highly favored in having come to her Prof. A. E. Gregory of the Department of Religious Education of Talladega College, Talladega, Ala. Prof. Gregory has been a teacher of religious subjects as well as certain collegiate subjects, including English, for some years in that institution. He was an important member of the theological faculty of Talladega before the seminary was discontinued, and now he is heading up the work in religious education, which is one of the major subjects offered to college students in that institution. Prof Gregory has a wide and remarkable knowledge of his field, is a most diligent and thorough student; usually spends his Summers in Columbia University, but for the past several years has been visiting his father in Jamaica. B. W.T. from which place he come directly to New York City and St. James. His many relatives friends will extend him a very warm welcome on next Sunday.

Dr. Ims writes from Dundee, N.
Y "Mrs Ims and children are
well and we all are enjoying
the lake country as much as ever."

The pastor, Elder R. C. Lawson, who is in radiant and bounty health preached at the evening service. He used as his subject, "The Fullness of a Christian Life."

St. Paul Baptist Church
Last Sunday proved successful with us. Appreciative audiences heard two thoughtful and inspiring sermons by Rev. W. H. A. Booker who is acting pastor while Booker is away.
At the eleven o'clock service he preached on "The Waiting Room of Truth," when he stated that the desire and search for truth would ultimately lead to the discovery of truth. Although complete truth is unattainable, he said we can get glimpses of it in the study of everything in this world, a waiting room from which we shall be ushered into the realm of Absolute Truth Jesus Christ is the Spirit of Truth permeating all the expertienes of mankind, and when we examine the mysteries of this world with the spirit of Him who is truth we become more tolerant, appreciative and active christians.
At four o'clock the Home Missionary Society of Union Baptist Church held a service in our church. Sister Harris gave an interesting exposition of Paul's declaration that love is greater than faith and hope.
At the evening service, Rev. Booker preached from the subject "Wooker B. Missed?" I Samuel 20:13 after which he administered the Lord's Supper.
Next Sunday Rev. T. W. Larsen will preach.

The pastor's subject was taken from the 6th chapter of Isaiah, lst 20, 3rd verses. He brought out many interesting points that benefited us all. Isaiah's willing-to confess after he say his wickedness to be fixed by the Master on work, and several other points that were found in the text.

"The women united with us to help carry the bazaar along. Wards 7, 8, 9 led the singing for the Sunday and they deserve credit; they tried to duplicate the result. Ward 1 carried several buses to Savin Rock on Thursday and every one who brought back a report that they had a nice time. At this time Berean is busy selling bricks for the parsonage, and a silver loving cup is offered the highest number of bricks by the highest Sunday in September. We keep busy to keep the devil and his impress from working around our ranks.

In the afternoon funeral services were held for Frederick M. Bryan, 39, who was a steward of the church. The sermon was delivered by the pastor, Dr. Edward Ernest Tyler. Mr. Bryan was a well known musician, and Dr. Tyler during the course of his eulogy took occasion to praise the deceased for giving some of his time to his church despite his calling and despite the fact that he was very busy. The Men's League gave a lawn party on the lawn of the church on Thursday night, August 15. On the same night the ladies' ullboard gave a lawn party at 922 Cumberland street. Both affairs were well attended. Dr. Tyler commenced a well earned vacation this week. He will fill his pulpit on September 8. During his absence the Rev. William N. Holt will preach
On September 1 the League of the Christian Endeavour League of which Miss Eudoxie West is president will have its fall opening. A special musical program has been arranged for the occasion.
Nazarene Cong. Church
The pastor and his wife are spending this week's vacation in and around Lynn, Mass. Dr. Proctor writes that, despite the cool weather of the past few days, he goes in the surf every day, and is in time condition. The young ladies of Rifanah Dr. Roy Proctor, their brother, is in the city. The pastor will be back in time to lead the midweek prayer meeting on Wednesday evening August 28th. The meeting will be preparatory to the regular monthly communion service on Sunday, September 1.
All the sick of the church are doing well. The young people and members are sick every Sunday afternoon and are clated over the manner in which their work is received.
T. J. Bell, social worker and associate pastor of the church organized at the marriage of Mead Witherspoon of Bar Rockaway and Miss Mattie Townsley, at the home of the latter, 315 Rambridge street last Saturday afternoon at three-thirty o'clock. The members of both families, and other friends were present. The happy couple left for Boston, where they will spend the next few days. The pulpit was filled Sunday morning by Mr. Bell. His theme was, "Iver Present," text Genesis 12:6 "And the Canaanite was already in the land" The Canaanites had ever naturalized, atemplated by the Sea and their spirit survived until this day, and stands for everything where and ever present. "Yet after all," Mr. Bell said, "it may be a blessing in disguise, for it keeps us ever on our guard, ever fighting Man, by God's help, must eventually win."
George Hooper presided at the unison church and Christian Indoor service in the evening at eight o'clock, when an interesting program was rendered, a great deal of out-of-town talent being Among those present from Manhattan was George W. Allen of New York, a jolive-timemate friend of Mr. Bell Mrs. Threlma Brown will lead the meeting next Sunday evening. At the morning church service Mr. Bell will preach on the theme "The Highway To Late."
Concord Baptist Church
Practicing Sunday morning from the subject of "Christian Assets," Rev James B. Adams made several statements that are pertinent over a, the stand alone, "There is only one thing that can keep us from allowing our life senses, it is a consciousness of God." "Wherever leaves God out of his program does not lie Him, although he pays claim to when we live we can't take the impact of our life out of consideration." "Good men good not to there importance as we do not an ordering to their attitude toward Himself." Amusing travelogue was the statement that "I have to ride around a hospital three times before I can make myself go out when I know that the man I am to visit is hostile in his attitude toward God and preachers."
The B. Y. P. I at 6:00 kirk was enjoyable in its varied program of music by the young people Monday, through its efforts and treasures, thirty children leave for Sunshine Acres at Comack. L. I. for a ten days stay under the direction of the Brooklyn and Long Island B. Y. P. I.

CONVENTION OF CHURCH OF CHRIST TO OPEN SUNDAY
One of the youngest and fastest growing Negro denominations will celebrate its tenth anniversary here with a two-week convention, beginning August 25. The celebration is the National Convention of the Church of Christ of the Apostolic Faith, Bishop Robert C. Laws, in founder, and general elder. The sessions will be held at the Refuge Church of Christ, 52-56 West 133rd street. BISHOP R C. LAWSON
```markdown
```
The Church of Christ is represented by over 40 churches in as many different cities, and delegates are expected from as far south as Floridia, from as far north as Boston, and as far west as St. Louis. The first week of the convention will be given over to evangelical services and the other to a discussion of constructive power. There will be preaching each evening outstanding ministers of the denomination.
Founded By Elder Lawson
Founded by Elder Lawson
The Refuge Church of Christ,
mother church of the denomination,
was started from street meetings,
which Elder Lawson joined in years ago. These
meetings proved so popular and the need for this type of evangelistic
work among the poorer element of
Harlem became so apparent to Eld-
Jawson, he decided to secure a
church home. With funds he gathered,
he purchased three private
houses and after a time there were
remodeled into a church building.
Additions were made until now this
property is 90 feet deep and
valued at over $25,000.
There is only one mortgage of $15.
CHURCH OF CHRIST
The spiritual growth has increased space with the material prosperity. Elder Lawson has baptised over 6,000 during his ten years in New York. His membership has grown from nothing to over 1,000 and at the present time the main auditorium is unable to accommodate the Sunday services and the divine healing services in the week.
Spread To Other Cities
In addition to his work in building up the church, Elder Lawson has found time to develop the work of his denomination in other cities. Missionaries were started in nearby cities and these grew and others were started. A number of young ministers were trained and sent out by Elder Lawson into other cities and work attained its present growth. With all his multiple activities, Elder Lawson found time and energy to look to the material well-being of his own church and several projects were started primarily to give employment to his membership. One of these activities is a religious book store which is now supplying tracts to inmates. Elder Lawson in many colored churches of other cities is in the metropolitan district and throughout the country. The store is located in the basement of the church building and couples two full time clerks. Another of the projects is the
was given on the parental obedience of Abraham to God and its result, it was presented by Rev William Fordsle of Costa Rica, Central America, Mr. Fordsle is a grandson of George Lale, the father of Baptist missions in the West Indies. He showed how God was hammered in his fulfillment of gifts to Alram because Abram took his nephew, Lot, with him out of his home country. He said we 'today are rehiring ourselves of God's full blessing by引导ing to our Lots in direct disobedience to God's mand. Mr. Lale said this could attempt to raise money to further the work in Costa Rica.
ROSENWALD FUND DOUBLES GIFT TO ATLANTA SCHOOL
Expresses Confidence In Social Work Institution's Program
Atlanta, Ga.-At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, the annual appropriation to the Atlanta School of Social Work was increased from $2,500 to $5,000.
In his application for an increased grant Forrester B. Washington, director of the school, pointed out its role as a promotional agency for social care, especially the conferences and short institutes conducted in various cities. In reporting favorable action on the school's application, Edwin R. Embree, president of the Fund, wrote Mr. Washington as follows:
"This is a much larger appropriation than we usually make. We do this only because of our belief in the importance of training for social work and of the conferences and short institutes which you hold, as for instance, for preachers and because of our confidence in you and your associates who are carrying on this work. We are counting on you to justify the confidence represented in this, which for us is a large gift." In institution for the training of Negro social workers has been successful from the first and has steadily enlarged its field of usefulness. It was recently given national recognition by election to membership-in-the.American Association of Social Work Schools.
Selma, Ala., Merchants In Retail Association
Selma, Ala.-Organization of ten retail stores as the Colored Merchants Association of Selma was completed here this week.
The new association proposes to buy cooperatively and sell at uniform prices, as is now being done by similar associations in Montgomery, Ala., Winston-Salem N. C., and other cities.
Organization was completed following visits by Albon J. Holey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, which is sponsoring movement for such organizations throughout the country.
The following officers have been elected: M. T. Thomas, president; M. C. Thrash, vice-president; L. E. Brown, secretary; Earle L. Paterson, treasurer. Other members are J. H. Hill, J. A. Jackson, T. H. Thrash, T. B. Bennett, Major and Durham, and Milhouse Brothers.
Church of Christ Bible Institute, which gives religious training to many young people in the vicinity.

FRED M. BRYAN, PIANIST & COMPOSER, DIES AFTER FOUR WEEKS OF ILLNESS
Frederick M. Bryan, pianist and composer, who lived at 136 Leffert place, Brooklyn, died Friday, August 16, at 5 o'clock, p. m., and was buried Sunday following at 1:30 from Bridge Street, A. M. E. Church, the pastor, Rev. Dr. Edward Ernest Tyler, officiating.
Mr. Bryan, for years, was a prominent figure in musical circles in New York, and was one of the most active of the Cleft Club, members. He won a fine reputation as a pianist, devoting much of his efforts to the entertaining and orchestral fields. He was a prolific composer of the lighter forms, and had won several awards in contests for instrumental and vocal compositions, including the Wanamaker first prize award for a "Lullaby", presented at the meeting in St. Louis, August 25, 1927, of the National Association of Negro Musicians.
Notwithstanding his musical activities he was a devoted church man and gave much of his time to serving as a member of the board of stewards of Bridge Street Church.
He is survived by the widow, Mrs. Bryan, and a daughter, Louise, 7 years of age. Another child, a son, Frederick M. Jr., died about two years ago.
Mr. Bryan had been suffering from diabetes for some time, from which complications arose about four weeks ago. Gargrene developed unexpectedly and death followed.
BALTIMORE SINGERS HEARD IN NEW YORK
An interesting program of ensemble singing was offered a New York audience on Sunday afternoon, August 18, at St. Mark's M. E. Church, 138th street and Edgecombe avenue, when the Post Office Glee Club of Baltimore was presented in concert by J. Bernie Barbour, well known pianist, composer and impressario.
The group of ten young men offered a program of interest and considerable diversity, displaying unusual quality in tonal effects and a well developed rhythmic swing and dynamic contrast. The director, whose name, unfortunately, did not appear on the program, was both sympathetic and authoritative, swaying the singing group with a keen interpretative sense and understanding.
Particularly beautiful was their rendition of Ethelbert Nevin's setting song, "The Rosary," with Beal H. Mason, tenor, doing the solo, the ensemble supporting. This had to be repeated and deservedly so. Another effective number was the 'Irish song, "Kerry Danee" by Mollo)
A solemn and appropriate setting of the Lord's Prayer by Marks opened the program, and this was followed by "Blow, trumpet, for the world is white with May." This number was not so effective, due, probably, to the fact that the singers were distressed through the tardiness of one of the club members who was in possession of the music roll, and a fear that he had gotten irretrievably lost in the mazes of New York City. He finally put in an appearance, but not until several numbers had been sung.
Club solists were Leon Travers and Thomas Caswell, tenor, and William Travers, baritone.
Guest artists were Miss Minnie Cato, soprano, popular on the musical comedy stage, and Miss Grace Vera Postles, dramatic reader, of Philadelphia. Both were given great acclaim for their renditions, although there were those present who thought Miss Cato was a bit too theatrical in her renditions for a Sunday afternoon church concert. But her charming personality and attractive voice brought an insistent demand for encores, which she graciously gave. Her first offering was a group of numbers by Mr. Barbour, with the composer himself at the piano, and with occasional blendings of his voice with that of Miss Cato. The singer accompanied herself in the encore number.
KENTUCKY JUBILEE SINGERS MAKE
From the faraway Antipodes comes a letter telling of the magnificent receptions which are being accorded the Kentucky Jubilee Singers, a group of eight men who are well known in New York musical circles, and who have been heard by large audiences in the city's most popular concert halls and theatres. The letter is from J. Arthur Gaines, one of the first tenors, and it was mailed at Palmerston, New Zealand.
"The Singers, following an engagement here at the Maxine Elliott Theatre, sailed from San Francisco on June 12, last, under contract with the concert bureau of J. C. Williamson (N. Z.) Ltd., of Sydney, Australia, for a tour of New Zealand and Australia. They reached Wellington, New Zealand, on July 2, and at the time of writing, July 28, the men had three weeks longer in that country before going on to Australia.
One of the Wellington papers, the Dominion, said of the Singers. "The Kentucky Jubilee Singers have scored the greatest triumph of any musical attraction that has been enjoyed in Wellington for many years. To lovers of music these very talented singers make a special appeal, but the variety of their entertainment, and the perfect harmony they express by their combined singing must make a deep impression on the most unmusical person.
"It is a positive duty of every member of the various musical societies of Wellington to hear the Kentucky Jubilee Singers."
The personnel of the ensemble is Mr. Gaines and Robert Caver, first tenors; Hinton Jones and Augustus Simons, second tenors; Arche Cross, and William Vesay, first bassos; Arthur ("Strut") Payne and E. D. Pierson, second bassos.
They sang a week's engagement at the Grand Opera House, and one of the commentators declared that "never in its long history," referring to the auditorium, "has so much enthusiasm been displayed a that which took place last night when the Kentucky Jubilee Singers made their initial appearance in Wellington. Although the preliminary announcements may have appeared to be extravagant, they really gave a poor indication of the magnificent singing and artistry of the greatest organization of colored performers which has ever appeared in Wellington. Their perfect harmony is a joy to hear."
In closing, Mr. Gaines says: "The fellows send their best regard to you and Mr. Payne says 'Hello.' Their mail address is care J. C. Williamson, Ltd. Sydney, Australia."
Harrisburg, Pa.—Blachr. Smith-Eckels, soprano, and John Eckels, tenor of New York City, gave a rental here Wednesday, August 14, with Carl Diton, pianist, composer, at the piano.
Mrs. Eckels opened the program with a group of songs from L. L. Godfond, Mr. Eckels chose for his first offering works of *Giodini*, Leon Cavallo and Diton. Mrs. Eckels' second contribution was a group from Haslain and Pucinelli. Mr. Eckels first the part of the program with selects from *Gioro Verdi*. Coleridio the part of *Verdi*. Between the first and second parts of the program Mr. Diton gave a vocal, a piano and an organ solo. The concluding number, "L. Pedra-Fatal" from "Aida" by Verdi is presented by Mr. and Aida, with great pianist manner. Mrs. Fatal's piano is beautiful.
HAPPENINGS IN THE REALM OF MUSIC
voice, well ordered interpretative ideas; a highly developed technique and is a musician of sensitive gifts. Mr. Eckels' voice is both lyrical and florid and it has a rare agility. Mr. Ditton gave splendid support to the artistas. He is not only a gifted musician but a cultured gentleman and a great favorite with the music lovers of Harrisburg. Paulin Francis Hill, violinist-composer of Philadelphia, was the weekend guest of Miss Marguerite Valentine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. Bernard Valentine, 1610 Walnut street.

Very little apology is offered in presenting this incident, which happened recently, by seeing a crowning on the sidewalk gazing at West 135th street police station, and hearing their comments, we sauntered in to find out the true state of affairs. Standing at the rail, being booked, were three men, one a tall, rather decent looking chap, natty dress, holding costume. Arrested his head was a bandage, oozing blood.
It was a holdout game.
The respectable looking chap gave his occupation as a musician.
That was interesting. The prisoners were taken to an adjoining room.
We suggested to the detective to again ask this fellow his occupation, and if a musician, to find out what instrument he played.
Detective: What is your occupation?
Prisoner: Musician
Detective: What instrument?
Prisoner: Jews' Harp!
A short while ago, our attention was directed to an ad in a local paper asking for musicians for a dance orchestra, which concluded: No one wearing glasses need applause. In the August issue of the International Musician is another unusual ad for musicians, which states "must weigh 250 pounds or more," and to prevent any mistake, "forward photograph with application, ready for good salary." Maybe you are expected to double on the football field.

One of the common miladies of the human race is ego. We all
‘tre victims of it. The only variations to be observed in the disease
are those of degree and treatment. One individual can treat it more
tanely and effectively than another. But other than that, everyone of
us has the germ. , Yet without this germ, what would any of us amount
to?
Ego, which, after all, is nothing but pride is to the individual what
fleas are to a dog. A few fleas are good for the dog; they give him
pep. The same line of reasoning can be applied to the individual with
‘a certain amount of ego, but with this difference—tbe. individual must
know when not to bite and scratch,
The principal-objection to most persons with an enlarged ego is
that they do not know how and when to curb it. The writer remem-
bers an instance that once happened in a Pullman car in which a man—
« college professor at that—allowed his ego—that was about all you
could ascribe wt to, to get the better of him, The incident was trivial
enough, yet it went to prove how unmanagable was the man's ego,
He was a.regular patron of the car, so the porter said, and a very
good tipper, On this particular trip, the car which never bad more than
a dozen passengers in it on any of its trips between terminals, was do-
ing a more prosperous business this morping than usual. Among the
patrons who gave the Pullman ts appearance of prosperity were some
passengers who, it was evident, were not regular patrons of Pullman
service. Nevertheless, the porter of the car s2w no reason why he
should make any discrimination in his service to them.
So when the train was nearing its destination, the porter went to
these irregular-lookng customers first to know if they desired to be
“brushed,” for they sat in the front end of the Pullman, which is us
sally the end at which most porters begin their grooming and detrain-
ing manipulations. When the porter approached his regular customer,
the customer declined to have his customary “brush.” The reason
for the declination was that “the porter, had ‘brushed’ all these farmers
first.” it ©]
‘A tale is told of the late Booker Washington and how he man-
aged the ego coniplex. The Negro leader was in a hurry to keep 38
important engagement in a Southern town. All the available cabs
around the failroad station were manned by white drivers. He ap-
proached one of these, but was told by the driver that he would not
drive a “nigger.”
“Well, get in the car, "replied the noted’ educator, “I'll drive you.”
Here was a case in which the Negro leader appeased the Southern-
er's ego, and at the same time-curbéd his own,” .
Of course managing one’s ego is easier said than done, but there
are persons who can do the thing with admirable finesse, Those who
can, have @ valuable character asset. Especially 1s this true of the pos-
sessor when he is in the capacity of an employee. For example, as the
Pullman employee whose name, for obvious reasons, will not be men-
toned here. *
This ‘employee is a Negro. He was sent South as confidential
agent of the Pullman company. No,bis mission wasn’t “stool pigeon”
work. This-explanation is made because the term “confidential”,
where a Negro is involved, always connotes a meaning to the average
Negro’s mind of something having to do with spying, etc. It was the
‘second time in the history of the Pullman Company, so we were in-
formed, that a Negro has been sent South on sych a mission. And in
this case the job was even of 2 more technical character than the pre-
vious mission. For it was a job in which the emissary came in con-
tact with the employer instead of the employee.
In recounting some of his experience, this Negro agent proved his
abjlty to curb his ego. Seeking interviews with Southern business
men, who were unaccustomed to receiving Negroes as business rep~
resentatives of a corporation as affluent as the Pullman Company, was
a job which required a trained and tolerant mind, Furthermore, the
agent would never have been able to accomplish the work he was sent
10 do in the satisfactorialy manner he fd it, af he didn’t possess this
happy faculty. Being used to having colored men apply to them for| |
sobs to accept one as a business representative was something new, |,
and some amusing situations occurred with this agent.
For instance, there was the interview with the lady superintend-|,
ent of the hospital’ The Pullman man was seeking information re-| |
tarding the character of a former employee, who had made application |
for employment in the Pullman service. To the inquiry as to what]|
was the hariesty and sobriety of this employce while in her services, |
the superintendent was inclined to be averse to expressing herself, ;
“Now, Miss———," urged the agent, “I should like you to give me |
your candid opinion about the man, and I assure you that whatever |
you may say will be treated with utmost confidence” The lady hesi-|
tated, even with that assurance Finally, she said: “Well, I found him
about as honest and sober as it 18 possible for a Negro to be.” '
And what did you say to the lady in reply to that? the agent was ||
tiked. “I thanked her, I went 6 her to get information, and not to}
express my personal feelings in the matter.”
So, it seems that the Pullman Company has a second Booker],
Washington in its employment, when-it comes to curbing his ego. |<

Our memory goes back to the first time we saw him, twenty years
azo It was a scorching hot day in August, a replica of one of those
days with which New York suffered several weeks ago, only the heat
‘on that day was twice as intense. The Pullman car in which he sat,
despite its screened windows and electric fans, felt more like a furnace
toon than a cagriage of ease and comfort.
The few white-faced occupants of the car would every s0 offen
cast envious eyes in the direction of the perspiring figure, sigh, and
then languldly fall back into their half lifeless position. You could al-
most read their thoughts. They had no desire for the hue of the skin
but what wouldn't they give for the beeds of perspiration that pérco-

Every now and then the true son would run the first two fingers
of bis right hand, which he used as a mop across his forehead, and

GONE are the days "when grandma was a girl." No longer do we rise to find ice in the pitcher on winter mornings. Bathing does not depend on kettles of hot water from the old stove. Nor light upon kerosene oil lamps. People's ideas about comfort have changed in the last few years. A house heated evenly and comfortably in winter, a bathroom or two, lots of hot water, light at the turn of a switch—these are in every home today. Another item in the mode of comfort which is being more and more insistently demanded is—adequate telephones. Not a single instrument, but extension telephones at convenient locations throughout the

NEW YORK TELEPHONE COMPANY
BY THOMAS B. BURKE
Baltimore. Md.-Baltimore is planning an elaborate celebration in September to commemorate the founding of this city 200 years ago, and since our group is admittedly a vital part of the community, efforts are being made to find out what part the race-group will take in the festivities.
The Afro-American says, "Leaders declare that since it will be a hundred years before another centennial occurs, adequate representation of the group's history and their part in the making of the city should be displayed and preserved. They are of the opinion that a parade of a few fraternal units will have little impression on the civic attitude of the young, but that there should be a comprehensive organization, comprising what leadership we have in history, art, business and education, to work out the part the group will take in the celebration."
Call Raid To Action
Consult the race is called to attorney and City Councilmen Walter Wilkinson and McGuinn will be active in seeing that there is proper representation; while Joseph P. Evans, who, as member of the executive committee of the celebration, speaks for the race, will make a statement later.
Chairman Henry B Wilcox however, said that his committee does not consider Baltimore as being made up of various racial, religious or political groups, but has looked upon all citizens as being Baltimoreans, and that each one will, either in his private or public capacity, give his cooperation in order that the outside world may know that we are a unit in our civic pride for Baltimore.
The Rev. George F. Bragg, reporter of St. James P. E. Church here, Negro historian, calls on the unreply of color to sing as heartily any other group of Baltimore. Our Baltimore" for Baltimore and its leading people have done and are do
Race Not Ungrateful
Dr. Bragg: "There are any things which ought to be likewise, but the Negroes of Baltimore and Maryland have a right of privilege to share in the celebration of the birthday of the city.
山
From a ten weeks' trip to the Pacific Coast, T. Armold Hill, director of the National Urban League's Department of Industrial Relations, returned last week. Mr. Hill visited, the principal coast cities: Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles, and conferred with persons from week under auspices of the Board the smaller cities, such as Fresno, Bakerfield, Longview and Tacoma.
In a report he makes the statement that "while the Negro population of the cities on the West Coast is growing steadily each year there has been very little advance in occupation. While both old and new citizens are loud in their praise of the advantages offered on the coast, they are critical of the limited opportunities in vocations. This criticism has reached the point in the Northwest and in the cities in the Northern part of California that organizations of the Urban League have been requested to cope with the situation. For the young people the whole coast region is discouraging, there being very little outlet for their talents. Los Angeles is growing more rapidly than other cities in the West, and Negroes are making progress in the moving picture industry as well as in small businesses of their own. But even here the jobs commonly done by Negroes in the East are offered Orientals and Mexicans.
"Some of the newer cities, for instance Kelso and Longview, are restricting Negroes to poor residential sections as well as most arduous and menial tasks. The influence of the South, due to an increasing number of white Southerners from Texas and Louisiana, has made some of these smaller communities look like Southern cities, in that they reserve the best which, in the darkest days of slavery, accorded many kindnesses, and because of their good, sober and industrious character, ignored many of the unjust laws against them, and indulged them in the job, of many privileges denied our race in many parts. We are not so ungrateful to the centre our thoughts to the heights not yet attained, to forgetfulness of the great distance we have traveled from nowhere. In the language of an inspired writer, we have every reason to "Thank God and take courage."
For the convenience of its many patrons, a new telephone trunk line has been installed in The New York Age on its switchboard.
In the future the office may be reached by calling either Bradhurst 0864 or 5816.
located and well kept sections of the city, for whites, and restrict Negroes to the most undesirable sections of the city. Happily this is not true of the larger cities where beautiful homes can be found in practically all sections of them.
Branches of the Urban League were started in Seattle and Oakland during Mr. Hill's visit to them and committees' are now working to perfect them with a view to employing paid workers in the fall.
Mrs. Hilda Cesteros, Wife of a Harlem Physician, Is Dead
Mrs. Hilda N. Cesteros, the young wife Dr. Jose N. Cesteros, well known physician of 1945 Seventh avenue, died Monday night at the Vincent Sanatorium following an operation for appendicitis. She was stricken last Friday and rushed to the Sanatorium where the operation was performed immediately. Despite the best of medical skill and treatment she failed to rally. The husband, mother and brother are grief-stricken. The body was shipped to her native home, Washington, D. C., by Duncan Brothers on Tuesday night. Funeral services were held there Friday and interment followed in a local cemetery
Gasoline Explosion Injures Garage Worker
Isaac Deas of 204 West 149th street was seriously injured Friday night when a gasoline tank exploded at the Flushing and Steuben Garage, Brooklyn. Mr. Deas is employed at the garage. A chauffeur, driving a truck, stopped at the gasoline station to buy some gasoline. After Mr. Deas had run five gallons of gas into the tank, the chauffeur held an electric light over the tank to see whether or not the needed more gasoline. At that time a short circuit caused the gasoline in the tank to ignite, which resulted in an explosion. Mr. Deas'sells, which were gaturated with grease, caught fire from the stream of burning gasoline and burned both of his legs severely. He held his hands over his face and saved himself from a more serious injury.
Mrs. Deas, his wife, who was visiting her mother in Virginia was called home on account of the accident.

THE OLD TOLL GATE
My companion and I started down the road,
Burdened with a heavy load, I stopped to pluck a spray.
It was then that he walked away.
I hurried on to over take.
But lo! he had passed through the gate.
Dear one, I cried, don't leave me,
I do not know the way.
In my anguish crushed the rose
As I neared the gate it had closed,
I stopped and bowed my head to gray.
Dear Virgin, help him on his way.
His going left a loneliness.
That weary path we must all press
I can't realize how great my loss.
He's left this earth of trials and dross.
Benumbed with grief I'm comfortless.
