'Body Snatching' Tips Cause 3 to Lose Jobs at Hospital Three Employees Dismissed From Harlem Hospital on Charges of 'Body Snatching' With Undertakers Investigation Asked For By Dr. Rudolf Rapp Hospital Head, Disclosed Office Workers Getting Pay for Giving News of Deaths Drastic action by New York City hospital authorities followed an investigation which disclosed that a group of Harlem Hospital employees had been engaged in the furnishing of advance information to a small group of undertakers of deaths occurring in the hospital in return for a fee paid to them by the morticians. Three employees were dismissed and a fourth transferred to another institution. Charges were made sometime ago that hospital employees and undertakers were on collusion in the practice of "body snatching" on the basis of a commission to the employees in those cases where the body was turned over to the undertaker for burial. An investigation was made at that time and a general warning was given hospital employees that no mercy would be shown them if they were found to be implicated in the "body snatching" practice. Later, Dr. Rudolf Rapp, assistant general medical superintendent, in charge of Harlem Hospital, attended a meeting of the Undertakers Association in Harlem and pleaded with them not to engage in the farious practice. He advised them that the hospital employee would be the immediate subject of stern and severe discipline and would therefore, be the direct victim of the penalty laid in these cases. NEW YORK WOMAN KILLED IN AUTO SMASH IN PENN. Mrs. Lucy Beach, Active In Many Spheres, Victim of Collision Returning to New York City, a short motor trip to southern pennsylvania, Mrs. Lucy Beach, prominent in religious, civic and traternational cities, fatally injured when another car crashed into the one she was in Those Who Were Diamissed. The three persons dismissed were Charles Tasciano, morgue keeper, who entered the hospital's employ in September 10, last with a salary of $220 a year; Thomas Dahill of 287 East 136th street, telephone operator, and his wife, Mrs. Anna Dahill, an information clerk. Dahill was employed December 21, 1928, at $900 a year, and his wife in June, last, at $600. They are all white. Finding that certain favored undertakers were getting news of deaths in Harlem Hospital before the relatives, and that in some instances the first news was often brought to the family by undertakers equipped the central hospital headquarters, headed by Acting Commissioner Edward F. Calley, for an investigation. This was made by investigators under Lawrence J. Miller, director of the mortuary division. Fourth Man Transferred. It was not said that any of the three discharged employees had given direct information to undertakers, but sufficient evidence was unearthed to show that there was collusion, on a commission basis, between employees and undertakers. The fourth employee, another morgue keeper, was not implicated to the extent that would warrant his discharge, but his transfer was ordered for the good of the service. Acting Commissioner Cadley and Director Miller declare their intention to put a stop, as far as humanly possible to the practice, and said that any other employee found to be in collusion with undertakers would be immediately discharged. It is recalled that last spring the then commissioner of the Department of Hospitals, Dr. William Schneider jr., now head of the new Department of Sanitation, issued an order for forbidding all hospital employees to engage in the practice of "body snatching," and that he also got in touch with the Undertakers' Association in an effort to eliminate the condition. The undertakers explained that it was against their ethics to solicit business, but that individual instances of undertakers giving fees to hospital employees in return for information had been brought to light.

Y., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1929 State of North Carolina Acts To Help 16-Year Old Negro Girl Being Tried In New York City For Murder Leola O'Neill of Fayetteville, N. C., Accused of Slaying Sailor Who Abused Her Wins Support of State Thru Geo. Foster Peabody A desperate legal battle is being waged in Part Four of the Court of General Sessions, this city, as this paper goes to press, to save the life of Leola O'Neill, 16-year old colored girl, who is on trial for her life, charged with the murder of Manuelo Montera; 37-year old Portuguese sailor. When the girl was first arrested and arraigned, with a subsequent indictment for first degree murder, ex-Judge Norman J. Marsh of 44 Court street, Brooklyn, and Virginia V. Zipris, lawyer of 342 Madison avenue, New York, were assigned by Court as her attorneys. Miss Alene D. Simkins, court worker of the New York Urban League, investigated the case, and at the same time, George Foster Peabody, prominent philanthropist, became interested in such an event at the State of North Carolina has sent Lieutenant Lawrence A. Oxley, director, Division of Negro Work of the North Carolina State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, to be their official representative at the trial. family and their surroundings devote abject poverty. There are nine children in the family, all of whom, with the exception of Leola, are at home and help to work the 75-acre farm which the family calls home, and which the father rented on the basis of "half-share/crop." "While the family is poverty stricken," said Lieutenant Oxley, "they maintain a splendid reputation among their white and colored neighbors. Leola attended the rural school about three miles from home, and at the age of 15 years was in the third grade. Mr. Oxley stated that the girl's parents said she had been attending school off and on since she was six years old. They further said that she had Ran Away From Home. The story dates back to the latter part of March, this year, when Leola Q'Nell ran away from her home in Fayetteville, N. C., and motored to New Jersey with Fletcher Broom and Mamie White, whom she says were neighbors. According to the girl they came to Elizabethport, N. J., where all three took a room together, Leola sleeping in the same room on a cot. After staying with the couple for about three weeks, the girl came to New York where she rented a room in West 133rd street. Three or four days afterwards, the girl said, Manuel Montera, a Portuguese, 37 years old called to see her saying that he had been asked by Fletcher to make it pleasant for her. The girl thought nothing wrong with this proposal, and the man invited her to go with him to the movies. They went and enjoyed the show after which, according to the girl, the man suggested their going back to her room for immoral purposes. This the girl refused and went back to her room. The following night the man called again, took her out and made the same immoral proposal. Again the girl refused and went her way. Locked In Room on Barge. On or about May 2, Manuelo again went to see Leola and according to the girl invited her to go down with him and look over the ship on which he worked as a sailor. The girl was interested and consented to go. They took the trip downtown together and boarded the barge "Beekmim." World Maritime worked, and which was docked at 88th street and North River. When they ordered the ship, 'the girl alleges that Manuelo locked her in a room on the boat and immediately went to her room on West 133rd street where he secured her clothing. The next three days were a nightmare, said the girl, for she was forced during this time to have sexual relationships with him in both normal and perverted manners, and she was forced to throw overboard and drowned, "as he had done to many girls." All means of escape and any chance of help were cut off from the girl. Forced to undergo the dastardly attentions of this man, she finally in despair heat out the man's brains with a hatchet. She was arrested immediately indicted by the Grand Jury for first degree manslaughter. While going she confined the Haven Maritime. The case was originally scheduled for the October session of the Court of General Sessions, but was postponed North Carolina Interested. Miss Alene D. Sinkins, court worker of the Urban League, got in touch with Lieutenant Oxley of the North Carolina State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, who through the knifeness of that eminent philanthropist, Mr. Peabody, was brought to this city to testify and to accompany the girl's father. In North Carolina Mr. Oxley, whose offices are in Raleigh, made a personal visit to Fayetteville to the home of William and Cornelia O'Neill parents of the accused girl. When interviewed, Mr. Oxley said that the girl's family lives in a four-room house, in poor repair, and little better than a primitive log cabin. There are no conveniences of any kind, and the whole family and their surroundings denote abject poverty. There are nine children in the family, all of whom, with the exception of Leola, are at home and help to work the 75-acre farm which the family calls home, and which the father rents on the basis of "half-share crop." "While the family is poverty stricken," said Lieutenant Oxley, "they maintain a splendid reputation among their white and colored neighbors." Leola attended the rural school about three miles from home, and at the age of 15 years was in the third grade. Oxley stated that the parents said he had been attending school off and on since she was six years old. They further said that she had never given them any trouble and had never been away from home over night prior to her running away with the man and woman in March. Gov. Gardner. Senda Letter. So much interest had been apposed in the case that when Mr. Oxley reached this city, he, carried two letters, one from the Governor of North Carolina, and the other from the Commissioner of the North Carolina State Board of Charities and Public Welfare. Both letters were addressed to District Attorney Joab H. Banton of New York City. The Governor's letter reads as follows: "State of North Carolina December 4th, 1929. "Q. Max Gardner, "Governor, "Hon. Joab H. Banton. "District Attorney of New York City, "New York City, New York, "Dear Sir: "This letter will identify Lawrence A. Oxley, who is Director, Division of Negro Work of the North Carolina State Board of Charities and Public Welfare. I understand that Lieutenant Oxley has been called to New York in the case of People vs. O'Neill. Should the Court think it proper to parole this girl under the custody of North Carolina, we shall be glad to arrange proper supervision following her return to the State. The North Carolina cannot however, assume any financial obligatio in this connection. "Sincerely yours, (Signed) 'O. Max Gardner." Given Psychopathic Tests. The letter of Kate Burr Johnson, Commissioner of the North Carolina State Board of Charities and Public Welfare to Mr. Banton introduced Lieutenant Oxley and stated "If Leola is cleared of the charges against her or paroled, the public welfare authorities in North Carolina will give her assistance or assume responsibility for her supervision." In an exclusive interview with a reporter from The New York Age Attorney Zipris said that in this case there is involved, among other things, a question of mentality. The presiding judge at the time of the indictment referred the girl to Dr. Menas Gregory, chief of the Psychopathic Ward of Bellevue Hospital for psychopathic tests and observations. The examination, according to Mr. Zipris, revealed that the girl has a low mentality, that of a child of 7 years, 4 months. In this case, said Mr. Zipris, under the laws of the State, it is presumed that a child from 7 to 2 years cannot commit suicide, and while this 16 years old, she has the mentality of a 7-year old, and this will be one of the salient features of the defense. The case was called by Judge Allen, sitting in General Sessions Court, Part 4, on Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and up to 4 o'clock of the same day, but seven of the twelve necessary jurors had been chosen. When court adjourned for the day, to meet 10.50 a.m. Wednesday morning, the girl was a pitiful, yet brave figure and rewarded her father, with a tender smile as she was being escorted back to prison to await the most momentous event yet to transpire in her 16 years of existence—a trial for her life.

The strike occurred at 9.30 a. m., Wednesday, December 4, and in the disorder that followed, 28 of the strikers were arrested. Two American customs officers were slightly injured during the disturbance. Patrols of marines and guards were sent out to keep the streets of Port au Prince quiet, but periodical outbreaks continuing to occur, Col. Richard Cutts, Brigade commander of Marine Corps forces here, issued a proclamation Wednesday night declaring martial law in Port au Prince. Brig. General John H. Russell, high commissioner, later extended the order to cover the whole island.

Barrett on Friday, December 6, acquitted Isidor Brown, amateur lightweight boxer, of a charge of murdering Walter Barrett, thirty-nine, of 495 East 171st street, the Bronx. It was Brown's second trial, the jury having disagreed in the first trial. Brown received the verdict with a smile, whereupon Judge Barrett turned to him and caused the smile to fade by saying: "There is one man in the room who knows you're guilty. That's me. You're getting away with it and you're lucky. Don't get the impression that you're outsmarting the jury. You've been given the benefit of the doubt. Take that smile off your face. You'll go wrong unless you take this as a lesson. Get out of the fighting game. You're not the innocent you give the impression of being. I understand you." States that a detachment of marines stationed at the City of Aux Cayes had fired upon a group of natives, killing 5, and wounding twenty. This occurred Friday, December 6, at 5 p.m. The marines were under command of Capt. Roy Swink, a graduate of the Annapolis Naval Academy with about twenty years service. In his message to Congress, President Hoover stated that the trouble started October 31, 1928, when students at the agricultural school at Damien went on strike because the Haitian government had reduced appropriations for scholarships. Similar taxes subsequently held in the medical and law schools, and there was a constant increase of the strike movement throughout the country. This culminated on December 4 with the strike of the customs office workers. "Down With Borno!" At Chantec, Gen. Russell reported that a crowd of 2,000 surrounded the outpost and shouted "Down with Borno," the present President of the little Negro republic. One of the contributing causes to the present disorder, it is alleged, is the reported intention of President Borno not to order the regular election for his successor on April 10, 1930, thus perpetuating his control. The President's request to Congress for power to name a Haitian Commission has stirred great interest among Americans who are interested in Haït and familiar with conditions on that island. Miss Layle Lane of 226' West 150th street, who spent some time in a tour of the island, has written to The Age, suggesting that every effort be made to secure an interracial group on this commission. She declares that Congressman DePriest should be one of the members and that a strong layman should be named from the race group, suggesting Alderman Fred R. Moore, director of Age; the Rev. George Fraser, Miller, or assistant United States Hubert T. Delany as suitable men for the work. A telegram from Bishop R. C. Ranson of the A. M. E. Church, sent from his country home at Oceanport, N. J., requests that President Hoover be asked to name More Than 300 Needy Families Apply For Christmas Baskets More than 300 appeals have come to The New York Age from poor families for Christmas baskets. The children in these families number from three to seven, and without outside aid these kiddies will be absolutely without any of the joy and pleasure of the Yuletide season. The people of Harlem in particular, and New York in general, are urged to open up their hearts and their pocketbooks and help bring some measure of happiness to some of these homes during the season of "Good Will on Earth, Peace to All Men." The plans for help come from all sections of Harlem, from families newly come from the South or from the West Indies. And all are in a condition that calls for a wide and deep application of charity through this means. Will you not heed this plea? Make it possible for these poor families to have some measure of enjoyment during the Holiday Season. Without your aid this will be impossible. In the midst of your own joyous preparation give a moment's heed to the needs of these unfortunates and send as liberal a contribution to The New York Age as you possibly can, thereby helping this paper to help them to a share of the season's joy.

For four centuries, the Haitian have been ground under the military heel of the American Occupation. Not only have they been taxed without representation, but nearly every liberty to a sovereign people has been taken away from them. I have summed up this situation partially in a Memorial to the United States Senate, signed by the Interdenominational Preachers Meeting of New York and the Harlem Bar Association, and referred, on motion of Senator William H. King, on June 21, 1929, to the Foreign Relations Committee. "This Memorial prayed for the appointment of a Senatorial Committee to investigate the situation in Haiti, based upon the charges and specifications which it set forth. This document has not yet been made public, but it is only fair to the American public to know certain proximate causes of the present Haitian crisis which have resulted from the coercion treaty and the extension thereof by which the United States unjustly defends its intervention in Haiti.

"Who could have phosphesei, continued Father LaFerge, "the development of the Feuch, or the Amo-Saxon, or the Irish race a thousand years ago; or four American people one hundred years ago God has allotted of me all are in HI shards, instead of idle speculation, our concern should be about, the practice of truth and justice to all men; and the sooner, and more tangibly the better." A Brilliant, Affair. The dinner, field under the auspices of the New York Advisory Committee for the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, was one of the most brilliant affairs of its kind yet held.

Dr. Jones predicted its rapid expansion into a vast and beneficial enterprise in mutual understanding and cooperation. The work of the Harlem Committee for the Cardinal Gibbons Institute was specially dwelt upon by Mr. Aegar. The Cardinal Gibbons Institute was characterized by Father LaFarge as essentially a school of leadership. "It's purpose," he explained, "is to develop through character and cultural training, the highest type of leadership in every field, whether it be the field of local community activities; or the wider field of educational, economic, or social world, or in the field of special talents and the professions." The Negro Catholic Clergy The work of the Negro Catholic therapy and sisterhoods was pointed out by him as one example of what such leadership can be. "At the same time," he maintained, "future leaders should know the problems and realities of the colored man's life, as of all men's lives, down to the very bottom; and the bottom of those problems' are the fundamental ones of daily sustenance, of daily bread, of the land and all that the land implies. Hence all-embracing scope of the institute's program making it unique amongst institutions. Catholics must usher in this country, and with very few parallel amongst institutions of any kind."

J.—Effective work among the Negro population is the most important problem that social workers of New Jersey, white or colored, have to face. This was the sentiment expressed over and over again at the twenty-seventh annual meeting of the Work at the Jesse Conference of Social Work at the Stacy Trent Hotel of this city. One entire afternoon was given over to the discussion on Social Work among Negroes, and the problems that appeared especially in New Jersey. The discussion was the outcome of a similar meeting held last year in Camden, when a committee was appointed, with Principal A.Y. R. Valentine of Dordentown School, as chairman, to question and to make recommendations at this year's assemblage. Mr. Valentine led the discussion period and introduced Dr. Emil Frankel, director of research of the State Department of Institutions and Agencies; Thomas Puryear, secretary of the New Jersey Urban League, and Dr. Chas S. Johnson, director of social services (Risk Management). Dr. Frankel gave the results of an exhaustive survey made during the year into the social status of Negroes of New Jersey. Description of Work Mr. Puryear followed with a description of the work which the social agencies of Newark are doing for the colored population. Dr. Johnson, formerly editor of Opportunity, gave an illuminating talk on what can be done along the line of improvement of social agencies by Jersey in what is being done by other places. He stressed the utility of the inter-racial committee movement and urged the establishment of such committees in most of the communities of New Jersey. In the discussion that followed, guided by Mr. Valentine, many facts were brought out with regard to efforts already being made on behalf of the colored residents of various cities. Colleen Kidde, retiring president of the Kidde, and Mrs. Harriman N. Simmons, newly elected president, pledged their efforts toward the improvement of the quality of social work offered for Negroes during the coming year.

Ginger of Hodgentown, N. P. Dotson jr., of Englewood; Rev. H. C. Van Pelt of Newark, A. T. Long of Trenton, and Mrs. I. B. Brown of Jersey City. Roscoe C. Bruce Did Not Testify That He Received Money As Gift In The New York Age of November 30, there appeared an article under the caption—"Mrs. Harriet Butcher Gets $3,000 Verdict Against K. L. Bruce"—the following: "Mr. Bruce denied that he had received any money from Mrs. Butcher as loaned and told the Board he had received all sums of money from Mrs. Butcher as gift because of their friendship." It has come to the attention of The Age that no testimony was given by Mr. Bruce before the American Arbitration Association to warrant the statement, inadvertently made in these columns, that Mr. Bruce at any time admitted that the amount in dispute had been accepted by him as a gift, and always has had that he did not owe the sum involved in the litigation. This correction is made with a deserve on the part of The Age to adhere to its usual policy of fairness. Charlotte, N.

The order extends in membership from New Jersey to Florida on the Atlantic Seaboard, from Florida to Texas on the Gulf Coast, as far North as Michigan and as far West as Arizona. It has grown to be one of the largest institutions of its kind ever established by the Negro race in America. During the past fourteen years the order has paid to beneficiaries of its deceased members $1,000,000, and that amount would have $250,000 to save their homes, farm lands, and other properties from foreclosure. The headquarters is located in Little Rock, where the order was founded and owns three magnificent buildings valued at more than $100,000 which are situated on Broadway, the main boulevard of the city of Little Rock. In addition the order owns valuable farmlands, hospitals, old folks homes and State temple buildings in eight of the twenty-six states in which the order does business. Scipio A Jones has practiced law in the courts of Arkansas for more than a quarter of century. He has served as Judge of the Municipal Court of Little Rock and has also served as Special chancellor of the Alabama Chancellor out of which federal J. L. Martineau was chancellor before his election as Governor of the State. He was the first colored lawyer to beat the white Shriners in the Courts and to win a signal victory for the colored Pythians of Arkansas when an effort was made to put them out of business.

C., died of apoplexy on a train enroute to Washington from Greensboro, N.C., just before the train reached Danville, a cury ous situation arose. Moore had in his brief case papers - purporting to be a petition addressed to President Hoover, urging the appointment of Attorney Franklin W. Williams of Winston-Salem, N. C., as United States Minister to Haith. Because of these papers, the body was at first identified as that of Mr. Williams, but when the news reached Winston-Salem Williams immediately wired the Danville authorities that he is very much alive. Correct identification followed and Moore's body was shipped to Washington for interment. Speculation Aroused In the meantime, much speculation has been aroused as to whether or not the Administration at Washington is seeking for a capable Negro to be sent as U. S. Minister to Haiti. The petition, asking for the appointment of Williams, stated that he has been practicing law at Winston-Salem for twelve years; that he is 49 years of age; had graduated from Shaw University, Raleigh, and the law school of New York University, and had done proper graduation at all University, New York and Brown University, Providence, R. I. There were numerous endorsements accompanying the petition. The question being asked is whether or not President Hoover is seeking a suitable race candidate for Haiti after so long a time. Nothing has come from Washington by way of comment, but the fact that Moore was a government agent, and was in possession of Williams' papers after possible vault to Williams at Winchester-Salem gives rise to the conjecture that he had been commissioned by somebody in Washington to make an investigating trip.

Parkway Chicago, JIL Atlanta, Ga., The Spelman College, community has had the privilege of hearing a series of talks on questions of international interest by authorities from several countries—Dr. Andre Siegfried, economic expert of the French Foreign Office; Dr. Frederich Schoenemann, of the university of Berlin, Germany; Dr. Jacob Fajardo, director of public health of the Philippine Islands, and, Dr. Victor G. Heiser, director for the East of the International Health Division of the Rockefeller Foundation. Dr. Siegfried gave an informal address, interpreting French life and people to his American audience. The key to one of contrast between the French and the American according to Dr. Siegfried is the emphasis on individual output in France and on mass production in the United States. Interpreting American Life Dr. Schoenemann, who is the first professor of American literature and culture at the University of Berlin, was for over nine years on the faculty of Harvard University, and has now the difficult job of interpreting American life to German students. He spoke with satisfaction or the eagerness with which German students study American problems, and the interest they show in all phases from interpretation of American slang to the intricacies of international patent rights. They particularly enjoyed a concert of Negro Spirituals given a few years ago in Berlin and ever since have taken every opportunity offered to hear Negro singing and to read about Negro music and other contributions by Negroes to art and literature. At a special assembly, addresses were made by Dr. Jacob Fajardo, director of health of the Philippines, and Dr. Victor G. Heisser, director for the East G. the International Health Division of the Rockefeller Foundation. Health In Far East This is Dr. Fajardos first visit to the United States and he is making an intensive study of conditions, matters of health administration, and facilities for health work in this country. Dr. Henser, who is an internationally recognized authority on public health, was for ten years director, of health of the Philippines, and has had special studies in Europe, Canada and Egypt. As director for the East in the public health work of the Rockefeller Foundation, he makes frequent visits to countries in the Orient, as well as countries in the West. Dr. Henser publishes in "United Knowledge." He review briefly some of the discoveries made in health research and the results obtained through their application, and then outlined the tremendous possibilities for health conservation if the practice of certain principles could be made universal. Secretary Wilbur has announced the appointment of James A. Bond of Kentucky, dean of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, as a "Specialist in Negro Education." He will be attached to the Office of Education, Department of the Interior; temporarily stationed in Cincinnati but later will serve in Washington. He will work as a part of the Survey Secondary. That is being made by the Federal Office of Education under an authorization by Congress and will have to do with those phases of a relating to the Negro race. Dean Bond is 38 years old and has been engaged in educational activities in behalf of his race for 15 years. He served for three years as principal of the Middlesboro High School, in Kentucky; three years as instructor of English in Swift College, Rogersville, Tenn.; two years as dean of Solden University; two years as head of the Education Department, State College, Frankfort, Ky.; three years as dean of that college, and one year as its acting president.

WHAT VARE'S UNSEATING DENOTES. The United States Senate, after two years of deliberation, denied admission of William S. Vare of Pennsylvania on the ground that his title as Senator was vested by "fraud and corruption" in the primary contest in which he gained the nomination. The vote was fiftyeight to twenty-two in favor of excluding Vare, although the Senate refused to give the seat to his Democratic opponent. The ground on which this decision was availed at was because of excessive expenditures and corrupt practices in the primary campaign of 1926. Twenty-five Republican Senators united with the Democrats in bringing about Vare's exclusion. This action reveals an astonishing lapse of backbone on the part of the Republican, in excluding one of their own number for causes which would apply greater accuracy to the case of every senator elected from the South. For there is hardly one Senator from that section whose election is not based upon fraud and corruption. It is fraud that was eliminated the votes of the great majority of the Negroes in the South, and the result of preliminary contest in the so-called "white primary" is indubitable corrupt and in no sense represents the sentiment of the whole people. If Senator Vare's title to a seat in the Senate was tainted by fraud, so is the title of every Senator from the South who dared to vote against him. Three Democrats had the honesty to recognize this fact and voted against the Norwegian resolution. They were Senators Bless and Smith of South Carolina and Steeve of Iowa. They evidently wanted no part in establishing a precedent which strictly applied would work havoc with southern election practices. As for the excessive expenditures associated to Senator Vare's campaign managers; it must be remembered that there is no comparison between the measures necessary to reach the large voting population of a great State like Pennsylvania, in behalf of a candidate for the senate, and the methods used in any of the Southern states. In Pennsylvania the cost of postage and advertising alone would reach a staggering amount. In any Southern state, all that the candidate has to do is to make a violent speech announcing the Negro and in favor of white supremacy, and his election is assured. The exclusion of Senator Vare is another sign of the decadent state of Republicanism in the Senate, which revealed itself in the defeat of such measures as the Dyer anti-lymph bill and other legislation for the preservation of human rights. What Republicans need is more courage and greater consistency. The United States Senate, after two years of deliberation, denied admission to William S. Vare of Pennsylvania on the ground that his title as Senator was vitiated by "fraud and corruption" in the primary contest in which he gained the nomination. The vote was fifty-eight to twenty-two in favor of excluding Vare, although the Senate refused to give the seat to his Democratic opponent. The ground on which this decision was arrived at was because of excessive expenditures and corrupt practices in the primary campaign of 1926. Twenty-five Republican Senators united with the Democrats in bringing about Vare's exclusion. Matters in Haiti during the past week seemed to be approaching a crisis, which produced a situation quickening the President's intention of bringing about a change in the policy of this government towards the subjugated Haitians. 'The proclamation of martial law by the commandant of the American marines, and the sending of five hundred reinforcements to quell the disturbances reported, do not indicate any great change in the policy of the American occupation. Martial law has prevailed all over the island since the first landing of marines under the Wilson administration, upon the pretext of protecting the lives and property of American citizens. This action reveals an astonishing lack of backbone on the part of the Republicans, in excluding one of their own number for causes which would apply with greater accuracy to the case of every Senator elected from the South. For there is hardly one Senator from that section whose election is not based upon fraud and corruption. It is fraud that has eliminated the votes of the great majority of the Negroes in the South, and the result of preliminary contest in the so-called "white primary" is indubitably corrupt and in no sense represents the sentiment of the whole people. The killing of President Guillaume Sam by a mob in 1915 was used as the excuse for American interference, although no American citizens were molested nor their property rights endangered. The killing of the President was provoked by his ordering the wholesale execution of some two hundred political prisoners, which was followed by a revolt of the populace putting an end to his rule. The killing of President Sam by the infuriated Haitians has been termed a lynching by some American news writers, and used as a justification for the American occupation and the crushing of Haitian independence by the force of marines and machine guns. If Senator Vare's title to a seat in the Senate was tainted by fraud, so is the title of every Senator from the South who dared to vote against him. Three Democrats had the honesty to recognize this fact and voted against the Norris resolution. They were Senators' Blease and Smith of South Carolina and Steck of Iowa. They evidently wanted no part in establishing a precedent which if strictly applied would work havoc with Southern election practices. As for the excessive expenditures attributed to Senator Vare's campaign managers, it must be remembered that there is no comparison between the measures necessary to reach the large voting population of a great State like Pennsylvania, in behalf of a candidate for the Senate, and the methods used in any of the Southern states. In Pennsylvania the cost of postage and advertising alone would reach a staggering amount. In any Southern state, all that the candidate has to do is to make a violent speech denouncing the Negro and in favor of white supremacy, and his election is assured. But, even if it was a lynching, it seems a trifle inconsistent for the American government to take such strong measures to punish lynching in an island of the Caribbean, when similar crimes are suffered to go unpunished in various parts of the United States. Even the Senate of the United States has repeatedly refused to pass an anti-lynching bill, which would make such a crime as mob murder a penal offence punishable in the Federal courts. And yet the American government and the press of this country justify the invasion of Haitian soil and the suppression of self-government, on the ground that the killing of a tyrannical and cruel ruler in a popular uprising of the citizenry was "a lynching." The whole course of the American occupation of Haiti, together with the abolition of home rule, the maintenance in power of a pupet President to do the bidding of the American High Commissioner, the suppression of the native independent press and the throwing of its editors in jail, the coercing of the native judiciary and the abolishing of elections to establish a self-governing legislature, all of these acts have been equally inconsistent with the principles of democracy and real Americanism. The exclusion of Senator Vare is another sign of the decadent state of Republicanism in the Senate, which revealed itself in the defeat of such measures as the Dyer anti-lynching bill and other legislation for the preservation of human rights. What Republicans need is more courage and greater consistency. SENATORIAL HONESTY. Honesty and consistency are so seldom conspicuous in the proceedings of Congress, that it is pleasant to give recognition to those qualities whenever displayed by a Senator or Representative in the discharge of his official duties. Senator Brookhart of Iowa has acted as the chairman of a committee to investigate the sale of Federal patronage, especially in the Southern states. At first Senate Honesty and consistency are so seldom conspicuous in the proceedings of Congress, that it is pleasant to give recognition to those qualities whenever displayed by a Senator or Representative in the discharge of his official duties. Senator Brookhart of Iowa has acted as the chairman of a committee to investigate the sale of Federal patronage, especially in the Southern states. At first Senator Brookhart and his committee seemed to accept the idea that the only persons concerned in this practice were the Negro members of the Republican National Committee. President Hoover, in his message to Congress concerning the future policies to be pursued in Haiti, stated that there were about seven hundred marines stationed there besides the five hundred more ordered to embark. The presence of these hostile forces in a country with which the United States is ostensibly on terms of peace may well constitute "a difficult problem, the solution of which is still obscure." The. President stated that, with the approval of Congress, he would dispatch a commission to Haiti to review and study the matter, to endeavor to arrive at some more definite policy than at present. In pursuance of this theory Benjamin J. Davis was deprived of his place as National Committeeman from Georgia and efforts were made to convict Perry Howard, the Committeeman from Mississippi, in a Federal court. Despite all the power exerted by the Attorney General's office two juries of white Mississippiians acquitted Howard and his associates of the charges made against them. While Mr. Davis had to withdraw from his efforts to keep his place as committeeman, the committee failed to find evidence of any wrongdoing on his part. Notwithstanding this fact, he lost any voice in the disposition of Federal patronage, and the committeewoman from that state was denied recognition of the prerogatives of her office. The statement that our representatives in Haiti have shown great ability and devotion and have accomplished signal results in the improvement of the material condition of the people is debatable. The forcing of an alien civilization upon an unwilling and subjugated people, by unsympathetic and overbearing rulers, has been accomplished at the cost of thousands of lives and the brutalization of the invaders who undertook so ungrateful a task. The selection of white Southernners for such an enterprise, with all their inheritance of color and castle prejudices, was a serious blunder at the outset. Disinherited American observers like Herbert Seligman and W. B. Seabrook testify to the evil results of sending such agents perform so delicate a duty, if duty it may be termed. But, to do Mr. Brookheart justice, he did not limit his attempts to curb the sale of Federal offices to the cases of the colored politicians singled out by the administration, but he endeavored to obtain evidence against other alleged patronage brokers as well. He and his committee brought out considerable evidence against a Texas Congressman who was alleged to control the Federal appointments in that State, but singularly enough Should a commission be sent to investigate present conditions, it is to be hoped that this blunder may not be repeated. At the same time, the membership of he received little or no encouragement from the Attorney General or the Administration, South Carolina, Virginia, Arkansas and other Southern states were included in the investigation, but so far as those states were concerned which landed in the Hoover column, there was a decided lack of cooperation on the part of the Administration. John Brown was a failure in business, an embezzler, horse thief, a murderer and a traitor. That may be the view of an unreconstructed Southerner, who has profited by the study of his history. But Stephen Vince While Senator Brookhart appears to have been sincere in his attempt to put a stop to the sale of Federal offices in the South, there seems to have been a disposition on the part of the administration to use the movement purely as a means to eliminate the Negro members of the Republican National Committee. If there has been any sale of Federal offices in the South, it did not begin or end with the Negro members of the National Committee. FUTURE OF AMERICAN POETRY According to Mr. Mencken, nine-tenths of the best poetry of the world has been written by poets less than thirty-five years old; a great deal more than half of it has been written by poets under twenty-five. Another reviewer himself a successful writer of poetry, admitting the above estimate as a fair working basis, adds that nine-tenths of American poetry is the result of obvious emotional maladjustments. In other words he declares that most poets break into verse because they are poor, or lonely, or feeble in health. He insists that they write because the world looks down on them or because they cannot find a mate. This kind of verse, written in such quantities by the immature of both sexes, is termed the poetry of escape and usually is very bad poetry. It lacks the qualities that arouse admiration in life, as well as in literature. Weakness, infantilism and inability to face reality are not to be admired, either in verse or in prose. The real need of American literature is set forth by this member of the guild, not as more poets, but mature poets who are able and willing to devote their whole time to the art. These caustic criticisms of American poets were evoked in a review of Alfred Kreymberg's book dealing with contemporary writers of verse. Incidentally, the reviewer noted that in a corner of this volume, "segregated in literature as in life, are Twenty Negro Poets (four of them Johnsons.)" While much of this carping criticism of American poetry as the work of immaturity and weakness may find partial justification in fact, there is enough good work of sound technique to prove that true poets are not yet extinct. A striking proof of this is furnished in "The Black Christ and Other Poems" by Countee Cullen, published by Harper. The title poem is a mystical production, full of poignant emotion and painful bitterness. It tells of a typical lynching in the South, together with the agony experienced by the mother and brother of the victims torn from his cabin home to swing upon a neighboring tree. The frenzied prayers and blasphemies of the witnesses of the tragedy are followed by the miraculous restoration of the murdered boy to his mother's arms and the vindication of her religious faith. The bitterness of pain and despair is succeeded by a rhythmic beauty of expression, that makes the whole poem strangely moving and impressive. The other poems are marked by the lyrical quality that characterizes all of Mr. Cullen's work. So long as he continues to produce poetry of this kind, the critics of American verse will have to revise their verdict as to its immaturity. The author of "The Black Christ" has shown marked versical virility and the power to express the emotions of great grief and intense joy in convincing terms. The future of American poetry will owe much to writers of his type. JOHN BROWN'S CANE. Much has been written and sung about John Brown's body, but it was only a week or so ago that a cane believed to have been originally owned by the Martyr of Freedom was exhibited at the 135th Street Branch of the New York Library. The occasion marked the seventieth anniversary of the execution of John Brown on the charge of inciting insurrection at Harper's Ferry, Va. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Frédéric Douglass Chapter of the John Brown Association of New York, of which the Rev. William Lloyd Imes is president. The cane of solid mahogany was exhibited by George Young, vice-president of the chapter, and elicited intense interest and deep reverence. Contrasting with this reverence paid to a personal relie of John Brown by a group of the race for whose freedom he gave his life, was the announcement of a book by an intolerant young Southerner, assailing the character of the hero and martyr of the Abolition cause. In this work, which carries as its subtitle, "The Making of a Martyr," the author, Robert Penn Warren, attempts to prove that John Brown was a failure in business, an embezzler, a horse thief, a murderer and a traitor. That may be the view of an unreconstructed Southerner, who has not profited by the study of history.

There will be a strong tendency to romance and marriage. December 19 promises some financial success, and a possible inheritance. It seems that some worry will be caused by contemporary relatives. It is not advisable to consider romance or marriage, for there is an indication that an unexpected turn will be the cause of much trouble. However, the ending will be better, than expected. The birthyear for December 20 promises success to those who are These people will need to be very careful in all their financial affairs, and those who have money should be very careful what they hear, but should put their money in a very reputable bank, for otherwise they will be poorer but wiser. We would rather be dumb and keep the money. Lending or borrowing money is not advisable.

The examination for male attendant, which has been ordered by the city service, should attract many of our group, as it offers a wonderful opportunity to men who have had no special business training, or who are not acquainted with examinations, to procure a city position, obtaining an entrance salary of $1,600 to $1,740 a year, with chance for advancement. Many, attendants, messengers, etc., in the various departments receive as high as $2,400 a year, but an opportunity like one may be you. Watch this column for dates. Prison-keeper and prison-matron- This examination should also attract some of our group—the entrance salary is $1,920 a year, and no experience is necessary. The age limi- ture for keeper is 2 to 35, and for Prison Matron, 25 to 40. Watch this column for dates for filling applications.

Last week 75 substitute clerks were appointed on *Brooklyn* by *Postmaster* Campton, Calif The veteran editor of the Richmond Planet took a week off remotely and limited his output of editorial matter to the following seven paragraphs: We should do right and fear not. You cannot expect to do wrong all of the time and succeed. Some people believe in destiny and some others do not. Some people do not believe in hell. They get theirs on this earth. Wrong doing brings its own punishment, though many people do not seem to think so. They are lynching white folks just as we predicted. They had their time lynching Negroes. It is now time for Governor-elect John Garland Pollard to worry. Thank God, no Negroes are worrying him. This would indicate that despite political and financial reverses, Editor Mitchell retains his position as the only original philosopher of the Old Dominion. Old Dominion. After writing the above, news came of the death of Editor Mitchell, lending greater significance to the last paragraphs that he penned for publication. Suggesting the offering of a reward for the apprehension of the murderer of a young school teacher, the St. Louis Argus said: The murder of Miss Blanchette Davis, a teacher at the Crow School, who was found unconscious on the floor from a wound inflicted by some sharp instrument is still unsolved. Testimony was given by some witnesses to show that Miss Davis was possibly murdered by a parent of a child who had been chained to the house, but not proven, and, therefore, no indictment of such parents has been secured on the charge. Many other "leads" and "clues" have been run down by the police, but no one held has been convicted. The attention of the editor of this paper has been called to this case by several different persons, some of whom claim that they did not know the dead girl, but they feel that something ought to happen. One interested person suggested that the teachers offer a reward for the arrest and conviction of the person committing this foul deed as a matter of protection of the profession. Consideration that if the lives of teachers are in danger from the parents of children who may be disciplined, such teachers ought to be protected, and the parent who would dare do such a thing ought to be punished to the full extent of If the girl in question met her death in some other way except at the hands of an angry parent, that ought to be made known. We are inclined to believe that a reward would not only interest and activity not only by the police but by citizens who may be able to furnish information which may clear up this matter. The suggestion that the irate parent of some punit may have been the guilty party lends a new hazard to the arduous profession of teaching the young idea. Answering the question propounded by the Atlanta Constitution—"What Is the Matter With Georgia?"—the Atlanta Independent offered a number of causes, the following being the most pertinent: The demagogy and race hatred preached by the Atlanta Constitution, under the pretense of defending white supremacy, has done more to develop a crop of peanut politicians and demagogues than they did to develop a crop of black tutors of the Constitution, the little fellows, who have been coming to the Legislature for $7.00 per day for sixty days, biennially, have thought more about depriving the Negro of his constitutional rights than they did to depriving the Negro for all the people. Hence, we have in each branch of the legislature a bunch of incompetent, and no statement, a bunch of Negro haters and no lovers of humanity; men who seek to retard and stave half of the people on the poverty and ignorance of the other half. Georgia's troubles are, the State's financial affairs are in the hands of incompetent and as a sad consequence affairs are misused and mismanaged. The first step toward rescuing the state from insolvency is to select a legislature composed of men with the State cannot appropriate more money annually than its taxable income, and escape bankruptcy. Secondly, the legislature must give more time to the State's needs, John J. Kiely, and our group was well represented in this number. SEPTEMBER, DECEMBER 19, 1979 and less time to local bills and fighting the Negro. Thirdly, it must send a set of men to the Legislature big enough to know that appropriations must not exceed the State's income. Fourthly, that the Negro is part of the State, and that any legislation that directly retards the progress of a part of the people, in the end, will retard the progress of all the people. That is enough to show the disastrous effect of intolerance and race hatred upon the welfare of the whole people of the Empire State of the South. Under the appropriate headline, "Justice Lifts Her Blinkers," the Black Dispatch of Oklahoma City noted the following discrimination on the part of the blindfolded goddess: Odis Holmes and Frederick Douglass are both Negroes; they both live in Oklahoma; county. Both Odis and Frederick conceived the idea of taking money from people in the South, in an persuasive inclination of a pistol barrel. Today Odis Holmes has a fifty-seven sentence for robbery, while Frederick Douglass has his freedom. Both, according to the evidence, took money, in about the same amount, and were convicted by common ordinary hi-jackers. The Black Dispatch is not allowing this recent happening to public notice for the reason that we [s] that the court should have shown any evidence of the crime, and by common ordinary hi-jackers, if we were live the evidence. In fact, the evidence in both cases proved, that each of the men took money unlawfully. The difference lies in the fact that each of the men was now free secured the most loot. Odis Holmes made the mistake of robbing a white man. The victims of Freddrick Douglas are black You can do your own guessing as the reason for the defeat in the treason trial by the State Negroes at the hands of courts in Oklahoma county. According to that view of the case, when black robs black no crime is involved, but when black robs white the penalty is fifty years. That shows the quality of justice dealt out in Oklahoma courts. Discussing the showing of statistics in relation to real economic conditions, Thomas Walker Wallace, writing in the Birmingham Reporter, said: Federal data show that the country is most prosperous at this time. Wages have reached a new high level and that the cost of living has been lower. But everywhere I have been recently I hear nothing but hard times. The bill weevil has been very industrious and so the cotton farmers in some localities have very little to eat. In other places there is a scarcity of work—and so it goes through the gamut of labor circles. In certain localities of North Carolina the croppers have been denied provisions of the small farm. In South Carolina the bill weevil has destroyed the crop. I have looked in vain for the great prosperity spoken of in the statistics. Of course I do see more automobiles cumbersed with them and there is scarcely parking room along the streets. People are going in and the stores. People are going in and the stores. They are traveling on the railroads and by bus and by car. Where and I suppose it will require the services of an expert to tell the real situation. But this much we can with confidence say there is considerable misery in the midst of this country. It does not give me comfort to the miserable ones to quote statistics. Evidently it is a time for husbanding resources and making-provision for the proverbially rainy day that succeeds a spell of fair weather. Pointing to an interesting example of thrift, the Norfolk Journal and Guide referred to a story of a South Boston, Virginia, Nego who died not long ago leaving an estate estimated at one hundred thousand dollars. It said: His name was Israel C. Clalborne, who was rated as one of the wealthiest men of his town. He was a merchant operating the largest general store of his community, a stockholder in the town's biggest and oldest bank, stockholder in South Boston's leading hotel, and an owner of a bank, bond and gold bonds. Now South Boston is a little town of about 4,500 inhabitants, situated on the Norfolk and Western Railroad between Lyme and Danville, on the Richmond and Danville, and known chiefly for its numerous and huge tobacco warehouses. It is totally devoid of the frills of a small town, and appears to be going into business there could scarcely think of poolrooms, barber shops, cook shops, dance halls, etc. So when Jaelah Clariborne thought of doing business in South Boston, he thought of business that would supply needs. He started in the merchantile field, went on the main thoroughfare of his little town to start, and remained there. He was not content to start a store on the exclusively Negro section of the town. He went into business as a business man and not merely as a Negro business man, but as a business man and adhering to the principles of thrift, he amassed a nice fortune, As the Norfolk editor rightly said, this is an inspiring example for Negro youth in many parts of the South, and it might be added, in many parts of the North, as well.

Sunday was Universal Bible Sunday. The Bible is not a book of science" said the minister, "it is a sentimental book. And in ancient times, the Bible was referred to as the book. The Bible is the book of plain man's book and such it should be loved and valued. The Bible is the story of God's love for His children; it also is a record of the love which some of His children had for Him and for their fellowman. We should not only value this wonderful Book which has lasted down through the old but we should read it more often, having our faith renewed and our faith affirmed."

It was a dream that began early in the Fall when the management of the "Coms" realized that they had a veteran team left over from last year's banner season, and grew through overwhelming conquests of the "Coms" first two big opponents, and reached its height in a game last week, when Chuck Edwards, one time wonder of the Wooden way, seemed to have regained all of his old form, his dead eye, when he scored five goals in a contest where the guarding was very close. That was just a start in the astounding things ahead. The Montclair Y lead at half-time, 6 to 3. Both teams played a strong defensive game. In the second-half the Y boys scored three field goals, and six fouls. Before the third-period was over they stood out in front 14 to 6. Coming back for the third quarter, the "Coms" hammered to pieces the Y defense, but to no avail. With Chick Edwards blowing a half-dozen shots under the basket, and all the other members of the team doing everything they were supposed to do except make their shots good. Y ended the game in two-goal goals when they scored two-field goals in the closing minutes of play. But the "Coms" can give thanks for something. The Y boys were very weak from the foul line. They shot 26 fouls in the second-half, but missed all but 8.

This was the second straight victory for the Bisons and was played before 500 spectators. The game was rough throughout, but the team work and fast playing of the Hilltopppers proved to be too much for the Pennsylvanians. During most of the time the ball was in the Lincoln territory. A few times it found its way to Howard's territory. The backs got it out in short order. the Lincoln attack was loose and time and grain was broken up before it had a chance to function. In Brown and DuHaney Lincoln found a stone wall defense, but the visitors attempts for goal were easily stopped by the goalie. Austin and Stokes played well for Lincoln.

THE NEW YORK AGE LEW LESLIE ANNOUNCES THAT HE HAS SIGNED VALADA SNOW AS STAR OF HIS 1930 EDITION OF "BLACKBIRDS" SHOW Lew Leslie announced last week that Valada Snow, who recently returned from a sensational tour of the music halls and night clubs of Continental Europe, will be the star of the next edition of "Blackbirds" which will be seen on Broadway in February. Although Miss Snow has never been seen in this country except as musician her name is already well known to the local musicians in the Harlem sector of the city. Miss Snow was born in Washington and early showed an aptitude for music, studying the violin, cornet, and the drums. She was an admirer of Florence Mills and the great colored star induced Lew Leslie to see Miss Snow in her musical specialty. Leslie did, but decided that the girl as a musician was no great novelty for his production. He told her that she had a pleasing voice and danced fairly well and that if she developed these arts she would soneday become a stage star. Meritt. Miss Snow quickly abandoned her music act and began to study voice culture, dramatics and dancing. The scene now shifts to London. Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds," with the late Florence Mills, was then the reigning success over there. Miss Snow walked in, showed Lew Leslie what she could do, and he made her understudy to Florence Mills. When the production closed, she abruptly left to fill engagements in all the chief cities of the Continent and subsequently around the world. It was while the last edition of "Blackbirds" was playing in Paris that Miss Snow presented herself to Mr. Leslie again and this time her art was developed to such, a point that he raved about her work and signed her on the spot as the star of the forthcoming edition of "Blackbirds." Hampton Basketball Team Begins Season Hampton Inst. Va.-With a total of 36 points against Miner Normal's 18, the Hampton Institute C. I. A. A. championship quint prepares to defend its title. The Washington lads came full of fire and displayed a scrappy offense up until the final whistle, but it was against a heavy team of 18 players. Aperture wards, Of Miner Normal's 18 points, Cawthorne anamed 10, while Hunt starred for Hampton hanging up 12 points and showing some skillful passing. Cawthorne popped a goal in the first minute of play, and was soon seconded by Hunt. For the next ten minutes the two teams played up and tuck, the score being 5-6 in favor of Miner. At this juncture, Alexander and McMahan, all Alexander and men, went in With everybody scoring, the half whistle sounded on a 20-7 game. Hunt, Clay, Coles and Gregory, a new man, with Captain "CY" Taylor started the second half for Hampton, and Cawthorne again opened the scoring but Taylor came back to register his second goal for the game. Both teams were playing a speedy game but Hampton had the edge in clever footwork and passing, while "Bear" Clay played a masterful guard, keeping the fast 123 pound Smith and the heavy Cawthorne out. Hunt scored 8 points in about 10 minutes and was relieved by Cotton, while Alexander moved into the place of Gray, a substitute for Morton, who early in the half had gone in for Clay. The visitors fought the last ten minutes as if they were determined to tie or win and in the last thirty seconds Cawthorne rung up another. But Mel o'ban had one too and changed things to 31-18.

He and his company are appearing in what is undoubtedly the biggest laughing show of the year. And when such able and popular performers as the Cain Bros, Rose Landers (song bird of the Lemos (Ub), Carter and Daly (Cotton Club tap dancers), Addison Carey's well-known dancing and singing chorus, assist Hunter and the company which he brought back from Europe - the result cannot tail to be a splendid performance. Hunter's contribution to the stage was reviewed in detail in this paper last week. Suffice it here to say that in this latest show, presenting at the Lafayette Theatre this week under the title of "Good Gracious," Hunter once more proves humility to be one of the funniest musicians on the American stage and shows that he has profited greatly by his experience in Paris and in London. The photophy program for the week includes the all-talking dramatist sensation, "The Squall" the talking picture version of the drama which played to capacity houses on Broadway.

JOHN WANAMAKER JR. CONTINUES AWARDS FOR NEGRO MUSIC COMPOSERS AS MEMORIAL TO HIS FATHER. RODMAN In memory of his father, the late Rodman Wanamaker, Captain John Wanamaker Jr., has announced the third contest in musical composition for composers of the Negro race and has offered prizes of the same amount as those awarded by Rodman Wanamaker in the contests previously held under his direction. As before, the prizes are offered through the Robert Curtis Ogden Association of the Wanamaker Store in Philadelphia, this being an organization of the Negro employees of the Store. The classifications in the present contest are four in number. The first is for a song, with or without words, for any voice with piano accompaniment. Solo obligato instruments may be used or not, as the composer desires. Class III is entitled "Dance Groups" and is for instrumental work exclusively. The latitude allowed the composers is large, and works may be written for any solo instrument, violin, violoncello, piano, etc., or, if the composer pleases, for groups of instruments. These prizes are two in number, $150 as the first, and $100 for the second. Class III will be devoted to Negro Spirituals, and they may be written in any form, for solo, or for chorus, and with orchestra, band or organ accompaniment. These prizes are also $150 for the first and $100 for the second. The last group is the largest in its musical form, being a choral work with band accompaniment. The work must not require more than ten minutes for performance and either quartet or solo parts may be used in connection with the chorus, if so desired. There is but one prize in this classification, $250. Composers sending in manuscripts must observe the following rules: The classification must be plainly on the envelope, as well as on the manuscript, and these must be sent flat and neither rolled nor folded. The manuscript must be completed and legibly written in ink on printed music paper. A pen name must be written on the manuscripts, but the real name and address of the composer shall not appear thereon. The real name and address must be sent in a separate sealed envelope, the outside of which shall contain the assumed name of the contest. Originality and quality of musical thought and workmanship will be the determining consideration. Negro idiom is preferable but not essential and the contest is limited to Negro composers in the United States. The rights of public performance of the winning works remain with the Robert Curtis Ogden Association for three months after the awards have been made. All compositions must be in the hands of the Robert Curtis Ogden Association not later than midnight of August 1, 1930, and all manuscripts should be addressed to the Association at the John Wanamaker Store of Philadelphia. Song poems without music will positively not be considered. The first of these contests was originated by Rodman Wanamaker in 1926, when more than 260 compositions were submitted, the awards being announced at the St. Louis Convention of the National Association of Negro Musicians in 1927. In the second contest the following year, the number of compositions sent in was smaller, but the standard of the work was higher. Captain John Wanamaker jr, hopes to continue the interest in this contest by the announcement of the prizes for this, the third of the series. The judges will be five well-known musicians whose names will be announced immediately after the contest has closed, and the names of the winners will be made public through the National Association of Negro Musicians, Inc. Thompson Presents Amateur Reed Club J. U. Thompson, president of the N. A. M. A., through his Amateur Reed Club, gave the second annual concert and dance at Elks Auditorium. West 120th street on Thursday evening, December S. The A. R. C. comprises the six aatrical troupes of Mr. Thompson and have formed the organization amongst themselves, having as president, Horace V. Davis; Seymour Griffith, vice president; Alfred Johnson, recording secretary; H. A. Hearton, secretary, and John U. Thompson, director. The program included numbers by Alfred Johnson, Misa M. Godet P. Rodgers, G. Thompson, Miss I. Henry, Mrs M. Fraction, saxophonists, with six ensemble numbers by the club. On the whole it was fairly well rendered. Charles Oliver Sims was accompanist and at times exhibited a rather listless attitude in his accompaniment. This may have been due, as he was afterwards to the poor condition of the pipa. Mr. Sims conducted the overture "Apollo" which opened the second half of the program. This was the most ambitious piece of the whole program and Mr. Sims succeeded in getting wonderful response from movement about midway of the student orchestra although a number would have profited by a little more response. The blending of the tone qualities of the clarinets and the various sax family, from the alto to the bass, was striking and the subjugation of tone and the nuances.

In the second contest the following contest in was smaller, but the standard hopes to continue the interest in this the prizes for this, the third of the well-known musicians whose names after the contest has closed, and the public through the National Assoc. were pleasant to the ear. Miss Fraction is not by any means a novice with the sax. She played her number well and was raptured of uneasiness. The chance of uneasiness may have beenuced by the unaccustomed standing position. Mr. Thompson conducted all the ensemble numbers except the "Apollo" Overture, and worked hard and strenuously to keep his student orchestra together. But "Big Tom" should learn that in addressing an audience it is better to turn to them a full front view, a side view of them, a prominence and further, that a six-footer is expected to have a voice ranging from piano to fortissimo, and to use it—his voice—as the occasion may require, and thus avoid the cry "little louder." "Big Tom" deserves credit for his efforts as exemplified by the matinee to greet double the twenty-three that took part in this year's concert. Other members of the club are G. George, A. George, S. Harigan, P. Rodgers, Misa J. Henley, Mrs. M. Fraction, G. Bell, B. Abbott, E. Davis, F. Lindo, Mrs. B. B. Butler, V. Dames, Mrs. B. L. LaCombe, J. Warren, P. Harris, Miss M. Godett, T. Caines, G.

ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM This column advocated about two years ago the candidature of race musicians for the Trial Board of Local 802. This year of grace finds not only two nominees but three Trial Board members one for the Governing Board of our local. Bert Hall, president of the Rhythm Club, and Fred W. Simpson, director of the Monarch Symphony O. W. Simpson, two candidates for the Trial Board, and Mr. Jackson a tenor saxophone player, who rumor says has studied law, or is studying law, is the candidate for the Governing Board. To get your name on the ballot for office required his signatures of about 150 musicians with your office required the signatures is alleged to have been obtained by the Trial Board. Fast work and Bert is said to have been the first applicant to file his application Whatever may have been the cause, the names of the other colored candidates running for office were not mentioned. In the December issue referred to, Mr Hall is reported as saying: "do not let that running gain ground. I will run against them. What prevents the boys from giving all of us a vote?" (There are nine men the Governing Board. There's the rub. The casting of a ballot for any one of the three colored candidates or all three candidates, will not jeopardize the chance for election of either individual.

City Phone Audubon 1037 THE NEW YORK AGE A letter from C. Kamba Simango, a native missionary working under the American Board Mission at Mount Silinda, South Rhodesia, will be presented that he recently presented with a gift a motorcycle by Roland Hayes, the noted tenor. Mr. Simango says the motorcycle is proving quite useful to him. He writes: "The motorcycle of Mr. Roland Hayes has given me a motorcycle, an Indian Scout 45. It is a wonderful gift and has filled a real need. That man is wonderful, not because he has given me this motorcycle, but because of the way he has used his talents. Mr. Simango was educated in this country—at Hampton Institute and Columbia University's Teachers College. He returned to Africa and worked in schools of England, and Portuguese. Speaking of himself and family he writes: "My family is increasing. We have two lovely boys. Some day we will meet America and you shall be able to agree with us that they are lovely." Instead of giving its usual program in Harlem, the Women's Committee of the N. A. A. C. P., Mrs Inez Richardson Wilson,礼宾 presented a benefit concert at the Benefit day night, December 8, which attracted a capacity audience and proved one of the most successful affairs of its kind. Appearing on the program were several of the most charismatic along with some of the outstanding members of the Negro race. Heywood Brown, noted columnist of the New York Telegram, was master of ceremonies and he introduced the following numbers: Evelyn Crown, Libby Holman, Baby Fox and the "Hot Chocolate girls, Jazzlings Richardson, Edith Wilson, Helen Morgan Ridale Hale, Frances Williams, Charles Butterworth, Evelyn Hoey Durante, Clayton and Jackson with the orchestra, Daniel L. Hines, Betty Benson and the Ursula Jubilee Singers. Others who assisted on the program were: Miguel Carvroubias, who contributed caricatures of James Weldon Johnson and Walton Hill, who designed the cover for the program; Winold Reiss, who furnished a drawing of Dr. W. E B. DuBois, Muriel Draper, Ruth Hale, Bill Robinson, Carl Van Verheen, Flournoy E. Miller, Perdinand Q. Berthelot, Milton O. Elliott, who assisted in arranging the program; Billy Price, dance instructor; and George Oberland, who acted as stage manager. A group of debitentures and vengeantives, under direction of Mrs Marton Moore-Day, served as ushers. "Say it With Songs," the great A'Jolson's latest Vitaphone singing and talking picture, will be seen and heard at the New Douglas Theatre this Thursday to Monday, December 11. The story gives Jolson every opportunity to do his greatest work. As a former prize-fighter and then a radio entertainer and song-writer, he is simply marvelous in this role. He proves himself as great a dramatic actor as he is a singer and you will see him with the picture. He sings, as only Jolson can sing fully a dozen popular numbers that are destined to be song hits. Will Rogers, the world's greatest humorist, comes to the screen of the new Douglas Theatre this Thursday to Friday, December 17-20 in his first screaming funny all-talking, singing and dancing production "They Had to See Paris."

(Baldwin Piano) smacks of petty feeling, selfishness and narrow-mindedness, which has open the bête noir of musicians for all time, and which evils we thought the Rhythm News would address. We are also a feeling of cooperation and single-mindedness which is so necessary to the strength of the race musicians nowadays. Unity is strength. As to the chances of election of the three aspirants, the outlook is considered rather doubtful by some race musicians, who point out the race musicians, and the race musicians and the other musicians of Local 802. And although they claim our nominees may be fully qualified and equipped to give complete satisfaction if elected to office, the other groups of musicians generally are unaware of the race musicians who have not been acustomed to casting their ballot will be at the polls this year to register their choice. This, of course, applies to both sides. Again, it required 700 votes last election to elect a candidate. Can we stimulate the race musicians to get to the polls and cast their ballots? We must confess total ignorance of the roster of race musicians of Local 802 in New York. Every day transfer members are coming in from other cities, and some it would be a pretty dill cull matter, even for the local, to have distinct data on this particular question. Of course we are totally in the dark as to their system of boasting and classification of musicians. Even if we fail to win a seat in either of the boards this year, the effort and the initiative will have been made and the post is well being done. We will us again knocking at the door, and eventually we will find ourselves not asking, but demanding the seat which our fellow musicians have won. Remember election day is, December 19, a Thursday. The polls will be opened from 10 o'clock in the morning until 8 o'clock that night. Even if you have not paid your dill cull, you will be eligible to vote. Go to the local on election day and vote for Mr. Hall, Mr. Simpson and Mr. Jackson, and prove your good will to the members and your appreciation of their efforts to represent and serve you.

'Adelbert J. Helm, 31, who recounted December 7, as pastor of the Bethal Evangelical Church, because the church council tabled against two Negroes seeking membership. "They yet imagine they are Christians," Helms said. Helm came here last January as pastor of Bethel Church. He succeeded the Rev. Reinbold Neilbur, one of the city's most liberal pastors, who is now professor of ethics and philosophy of religion at Union School of the City. "I doubt whether any church in the United States has a better background for the appreciation of the practical significance of the religion of Jesus Christ than has Bethel." Helm declared in his letter of resignation. "The first premises of Christianity and its most perfect synonym churchhood. To refuse brotherhood to Jesus Christ the gledest and most heretical blasphemy conceivable. "The Christian church has wasted precious time in mere oratory and a church unprepared to ignore the color line in its membership after having accepted the brotherhood principle of 2,000 years has questionable grounds for presuming itself to be founded on Christ as a cornerstone." American Christianity is so compromised and enmeshed with the crudest prejudices of the day that I have long since questioned the capacity of leadership of its institutions." Late Grand Master of Mosaic Templars, Dr. S. J. Elliott, Buried Little-Rock, Ark.—Dr. S. J. Eliott, for fourteen years national jockey, for ten years managers of America, died at his home here on Monday, November 25, and was buried on Saturday the 30th. He was past eighty years of age.

Nevertheless, a certain amount of care is necessary if the cleaner is to do its best work, says the New York State Committee on Public Utility Information, which makes these suggestions: Some cleaners do not require all ing. If yours is of the type which does, see that it is oiled in accordance with the makers' instructions. If it is not oiled, the moving parts will wear rapidly and deteriorate. The dust-bag should be emptied regularly. If its mouth becomes clogged with dust, the suction must pass through this and so much power is wasted. It is desirable to emptify the bag not less than once weak and more frequently if possible. Electric cleaners should be stored in a dry, cool place, away from heaters. This prevents their drying out and cracking. Do not try to fix the motor. And expert electrician should be called in if repairs are needed. Wind the cord loosely, either over hooks provided on the handle or on a hook in the closest where the cleaner is stored. The delicate wires in the cord will break if pulled or otherwise strained.

The buye- these accessories ever so much, but his type of service that the car renders. (THE SECOND OF A SERIES OF ARTICLES ON THE PULLMAN SERVICES AND THE PORTER, AS OBSERVED BY JOSEPH WHITLEY, 25-YEAR PULLMAN PORTER) As stated in my last observations, service is the element most stressed by the Pullman organization in its business of car operation. The emphasis placed on this phase of operation, is not difficult to understand when it is considered the part that personal service plays in the business. Moreover, personal service is the main commodity for sale. So far as the equipment and furnishings of a Pullman car go, these may only be considered as necessary trappings, the same as in the case of an expensively built motor car. The buyer of such a car might admire these accessories ever so much, but his main concern will be with the type of service that the car renders. So it is with the Pullman car. Pullman Patron Contracts For Service Pullman patron enters the Pullman car but this admiration is merely transitory, phase these things, but he does purchase. In fact, he contracts for it. When he is not been kept. It is for this reason, service is such an important matter in operation and why it is so material that it followed. When the Pullman patron enters the Pullman car he might admire its furnishings, but this admiration is merely transitory. Furthermore, he doesn't purchase these things, but he does purchase the service that the car offers. In fact, he contracts for it. When he fails to get it, the contract has not been kept. It is for this reason, even if there were no other, why service is such an important matter in the business of Pullman car operation and why it is so material that this part of it be observed and followed. An Army of Workers messiness of car operation the Pullman Center, 25,000 workers, of which 40 per cent of the other 60 per cent, are composed of manhours, laundry workers, car cleaners, and one is a department for each of these duties in each department, the importance of safety, from the time the Pullman car leaves until it stands in some railroad station for there is an army of workers who have lost equipment and operation. And to each he had a task, and that task is to see that the with the passenger is fulfilled. In its business of car operation the Pullman Company employs approximately 25,000 workers, of which 40 per cent of this number are 'porters.' The other 60 per cent, are composed of managing heads, supervisors, clerks, laundry workers, car cleaners, and other sundry employees. There is a department for each of these different group of workers, and in each department, the importance of service is emphasized. Therefore, from the time the Pullman car leaves its manufacturing, plant until it stands in some railroad station for the reception of patrons, there is an army of workers who have looked after every detail of its equipment and operation. And to each member of this army is delegated a task, and that task is to see that the company's part of the contract with the passenger is fulfilled. Much Devolves Upon Porter this host of workers,none comes into contact with the patron than those who compete in the final analysis of Pullman car operatign any other employee upon whom do the service contract of his employer is a connection between the operator and the chain of Pullman service. Here is the Pullman conductor who superbat even the supervision of this agent do proper service if the porter himself is inc in these duties. In this respect, the ineffort may be forced in a way to do his inner similar to the man who is driven in eye servant. It is the porter of this service problems with which the company But of all this host of workers,none comes into closer or more direct contact with the patron than those who compose the porters' group. So, in the final analysis of Pullman car operation, it is theporter more than any other employee upon whom devolves the duty of seeing that the service contract of his employer is carried out. He is the personal connection between the operator and the patron, the final link in the chain of Pullman service. Oh, yes, there is the Pullman conductor who superwises the porter and all that, but even the supervision of this agent does not guarantee the passenger proper service if the porter himself is inclined to be negligent or amiss in these duties. In this respect, the inefficient, negligent, and careless porter may be forced in a way to do his duties, but that works in a manner similar to the man who is driven to do his work, or does it as an eye servant. It is the porter of this type who makes most of the service problems with which the company has to deal. Lax Porter Given Long Rope issider, the question naturally arises—with Ahl' why retain them? That's a question nor do I believe any other conscientious one to the Pullman organization, however honesty with passengers and the breakage of porter a long rope with which to us one of the basis for my having made my previous observations, that some of which the company has to contend me working conditions alone. To fully appreciate that opinion one would a fair one at that. In the next place thing about the inside workings of the Poe porter. In the third place, he would be twice; for there are three distinct types of distinguishing them you would have to have among them. I shall speak of these three. To the outsider, the question naturally arises—why retain porters of that type? Ahl' why retain them? That's a question, I confess, I can't answer; nor do I believe any other conscientious and fair porter can. In justice to the Pullman organization, however, I will say this: Outside of dishonesty with passengers and the breaking of legal laws, it gives this type of porter a long rope with which to pull himself together. That is one of the basis for my having made the statement, which was in my previous observations, that some of these service problems with which the company has to contend may not be solved by-wages and working conditions alone. However, to fully appreciate that opinion one would, first, have to be a porter, and a fair one at that. In the next place, he would have to know something about the inside workings of the Pullman service as it relates to the porter. In the third place, he would have to be a porter of long service; for there are three distinct types of Pullman porters, and to distinguish them you would have to have many years of observation among them. I shall speak of these three types in my next-observations. A NEW FEATURE (Beginning this week, a new feature of news regarding Pullman employees will be added to this column.

MORE PRAISE FOR FORMER PORTER MORE PRAISE FOR FORMER PORTER --- "New York, December 7th, 1929 "Editor of News, Among Pullman Employees, "Dear sir: "As a subscriber to The New York Age, I look forward each week for it I am especially interested in your column, 'Things Seem, Heard and Jone Among Pullman Employees.' The article this week concerning Tom Washington was, to my mind, well expressed. There were, however, many more things you might have said concerning his good qualities. But I realize, of course, that one cannot think of all the good points in a man's character when writing an article of that kind. Furthermore, it would require the entire page of a paper to do this man's service history, justice. "I might say that I, too, have known Tom Washington for many years, and he always impressed me not only as being a high type of Pullman employee, but also a high type of man in other respects. Whether on or off the job, he was ever ready to give good advice to the young and inexperienced man. "I recall having made several trips with him on the Empire State Express when I first entered the service, and the good and wholesome advice which he gave me was advice from which I have profited." "You stated in your article that he had only operated on the Empire for twenty or so years, but left a perfect record for service on this popular train. I agree with you in that; but you spoke as though twenty years were a mere trivial space of time in handling the travelling public, especially when you consider the many different types and classes that a porter is called upon to handle in this number of years. The fire fault I found with your article is that you didn't place emphasis enough on the wear and tear which those years inflict upon the railroad porter. "To my way of thinking, when such a person is retired after so many years of straight service, he is indeed worthy of the highest com- mendation that can be accorded; for a public servant's job is the hardest and most wearing job in the world. "Moreover, it seems to me that in appreciation of such records, the Pullman Company might take cognizance of retired employees of that type by establishing a sort of "Employees" Hall of Fame," or some place where such records will be accessible at all times. It is records like Washington's that have helped to make the company the great corporation it is today. "I am wondering if the men who represent the Pullman Company ever think of the matter in that way? "Sincerely yours, "Sincerely yours. Mott Haven Yard News Friends of the P. P. B. A., take courage, Foes of the P. P. B. A., go weep. To the first, there is nothing to worry about. To the second there is nothing to rejoice over. The old Pullman Porter's Benefit Association will sail the seas as she was wont to do went to dark with clouds of apprehension. So, in the poetic vein of one porter, this came floating over the bounding waves of Mott Haven: "Sail On! thou sick and relief ship without break, Sail On! old Argosy strong and great." Tidings unwrapped from the pockets of the delegates to recent P. P. B. A, convention may be trimmed down to one sheet; they are to know that the association will function just as it has always done, with the exception that the porter who feels that he cannot afford to pay the present yearly dues may halve these dues and receive benefits accordingly. This phase of the association was the only change which developed from the recent meeting in Chicago, and even this has not been thoroughly worked out as yet according to these tddings. This news announcement the disappointment for many of the old members cultivated the thought that because of the Pullman Company's group insurance plan, the porters association would have to lower its yearly dues. Such, however, will not be the case, unless, as said, the porter wants to take a half loaf of the beneficial bread. The gentleman until he is riled—Louis Hodge will leave on his annual trip to Knoxville, Tennessee, his annual visit on Wednesday, December 18. Every year, around Christmas time, Hodge, who is a member of the porter's grievance committee in this district, goes South to see the old folks. Among the old guard of the P. P. B. A., who attended the recent meeting of the organization in Chicago at their own expense, was W. C. ("Major" to those who know him well) Taylor, assistant Pullman employment agent in the New York district. That is how the "Major" spends his vacation each year, visiting the scenes of the days when he was a porter. The porter who visited the advantage of being a P. P. B. A. member should see Mr Taylor for a clear exposition of the subject.

Knowing as we do, Mr. Sample's capacity for eating, we will always consider it a safe bet that he can clean one side of any turkey, and won't ask for time out. Now you all know that when eating you must take a sip once in a while.

THE WORLD "Every Person in the World" "Every Person in the World" "Already, on the basis of present scientific knowledge, except for the prohibitive cost, every person in the world—whether on land, sea, or in the air, could be brought into instantaneous intercommunication."—Walter S. Gifford, President of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. 25 years ago, such a statement would have been received with polite incredulity. Today it is accepted without reservation. For such has been the progress of telephony, even in the past ten years, that we may look forward expectantly to even more amazing achievements. Ten years ago less than 12,000,000 people in this country were united to each other by the speech network of the telephone. Today, from your telephone, you can talk to any one of nearly 29,000,000 telephones, here and abroad. So we draw nearer that day when a person in New York State can reach by telephone anyone in the world with whom he wishes to talk—a day when Mr. Gifford's statement will have become an accomplished fact.

She was upright and faithful in all her ways and was a wonderful magnetic character, as was artested by the very great esteem in which she was held by the women she led in Manhattan Temple, No. 93, I. B, P. O. E. of W. She was of a pleasing personality, always able to bring peace out of chaos, wherever she was. She was a consistent Christian who never neglected her church, and who refused to do those things which might be harmful to the Christian cause. She was a woman whose life was an alma of good deeds. She was kindly and genial, but a stern performer of duty. But greatest of all she was a faithful, loving helpmate. Her love was as a green pine tree, always fresh and ever growing.
