As the girl returned home, she said she noticed a man follow her into the apartment building, but paid no attention to him at first, thinking he was a tenant or intent upon visiting someone in the house. Grabbed By Throat. When she reached the stairway in the rear of the long hall,, the man suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her by the throat. He told her if she made an outey, he would choke her to death. The girl fainted, and when she regained consciousness found herself laying in the side court of the building with her shoes and stocking off and her clothes badly torn. She managed to crawl back into the building and upstairs to her mother's apartment. A neighbor phoned the mother and Dr. Wertheim was summoned immediately.

COLORED STUDENT REMAINS MEMBER OF SYRACUSE-FRAT Co-Eds and Faculty Refuse Pi Lambda Theta Demand to Oust Her Syracuse, N. Y—Defying efforts of the national organization as well as those of individual members of outside chapters to force them to expel from their roster a colored student whom they initiated two years ago, co-ed members of P. Lambda Theta, professional pedagogical society of Syracuse University, declared they would rather face expulsion charges than to take the step. The controversy between the Syracuse chapter and national headquarters was brought to a truce when it was discovered the coed had initiated Eddy the Dorsey, a colored student, who was graduated with high honors last June. Individual members, principally from the Southern chapters, have declared they will resign rather than belong to the same society with the colored graduate. For all members joined the Hill county today in declaring the rest of our fraternity may withdraw from membership, but that they would make no discrimination in members and that they would be or color in selecting their members and that they would oversee the expulsion of Miss MINNIE SUTTON 15-Year Old Junior High School Pupil, Dead from Brutal Criminal Assault by Unidentified Fiend in Human Form. DENIES LEASING OF PRISONERS TO GEORGIA CAMPS Dept. of Justice States They Are Boarded Out, Government Paying Washington, D. C—Learning that Federal prisoners are farmed out under contract, Representative La Guardia (R, N. Y), introduced in the House on Saturday, December 14, a resolution calling upon the Attorney General for full information. The resolution is in the form of a questionnaire, requesting the Attorney General to advise the House on the number of convicts so leased or farmed out, the conditions of the contract, the number of Federal employees engaged in supervising the prisoners so leased and other pertinent information. Senator Wagner, (D, N. Y), said he was studying the contract with the State of Georgia, and planned to take action in the Senate in an effort to prevent this practice. He regards it as the wrong remedy, for relieving overcrowding and idleness in Federal prisons Department Statement The Department of Justice issued the following statement as a result of The World's publication of the contract: "The Federal Government is not leasing convicts in Chatham County, Ga, or anywhere else. For some time overcrowded conditions have made it necessary to board out 10,000 Federal prisoners in 1,110 State and county institutions located all over the country. The Government is receiving no return from the labor of any of the men, but, on the contrary, is paying an adequate sum for their board and housing. Most of the men so boarded out are in county jails in idleness. "The men in Chatham County, Ga, are in a honor camp employed on public works. Not one of the men desires to return to the walled institution. A Federal inspector is present to see that the terms of the contract requiring humane and decent treatment are lived up to. For the present it happens that at this particular point, owing to limited accommodations, it has been necessary to restrict this privilege to a picked group of coloured men but the department is desirous to employ convicts of all racial groups in helpful and productive employment at convenient points as fast as arrangements can be made." DOING FINE WORK ALENE D. SIMKINS Making Splendid Record as Court Worker under Women's Prison Association in the Courts of New York City. Young Court Worker Makes Good With Her First Important Case The widespread interest in the case of Leola O'Neill, 16-year old colored girl who went on trial for her last week was due to the efforts of Miss Alene D. Simkins of 2031 Seventh avenue, court worker under the Joint Committee of the Woman's Prison Association and Urban League. Miss Simkins became interested in the case on September 3 when she had an interview with ex-Judge Norman Marsh, defense counsel of the girl, which interview started her on the first court case she had worked on, having only been appointed the same day. Immediately after the interview, Miss Simkins went to the Harlem Prison where she saw the girl and heard her story. With all the facts of the case in her possession, she wrote to Lieutenant Lawrence A. Oxley, director, Division of Negro Work of the North Carolina State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, giving him a clear report on the matter and enlisting his aid in the case. It was this move on her part which aroused the interest of the State of Carolina in the case of the woman which led to an important part in the case. Born in South Carolina, Miss Simkins was educated in Scotia Seminary, from which institution she was graduated in 1918. For five years she taught school in Columbia, S. C., and in Greenborough, N. C., during which time she became interested in social work. This interest became so great that she decided to go back to school and in May 1928 she completed her course in social work at the Bishop Tuttle School of Religious Education and Social Work in Raleigh, N. C. Coming up to New York in June 1927, Miss Simkins immediately started her social work with the Church Mission of Help, 27 West 25th street, where she did case work on unmarried mothers from June of that year until September 1, 1929. Her appointment was to theember Miss Simkins went to her office at 110 Second avenue, headquarters of the Women's Prison Association. While Miss Simkins is kept busy daily with court cases, the biggest case she has worked on since her appointment, she says, is the O'Neill case. Heflin Repudiated By Alabama Democrats Montgomery, Ala.—If the most rabid Negro-hater of the United States Senate, J. Thomas Heflin of Alabama, gets back to the National Congress after his term expires in 1901, he will have to fight the entire Democratic machine of Alabama, for the Democratic Party of Alabama, on December 16, utterly and entirely repudiated him. The State Democratic Executive Committee, by a vote of 27 to 20, denied Heflin the right to seek reelection because he failed to support former Governor Al Smith of New York for President. The committee also unified Hugh Lucke, an Austin School in Alabama, the right to take part in the primary as a candidate for Governor. Heflin, in Washington, in a furious tirade, declared that he would make an independent campaign for reelection.

Y., Saturday, December 21, 1929 Bert Moore Dies In Harlem Hospital From Gunshot Wound Inflicted By a Holdup Man On 3rd Visit in 12 Days Robber Got $40 on Nov. 29; Moore Beat Hold-up Man Off With Baseball Bat on Dec. 8, Then Got Bullet in Brain on Dec. 10 Bert Moore, 28 years of age, of 138 West 137th street, is dead as a result of lack of police protection. He was fatally shot Tuesday, December 10, by Lewis Cobb of 30 West 137th street, an ex-convict, with a record of several arrests in New Jersey and a term in Dannemora Prison. The shooting occurred in the little confectionery store operated by Moore and his sister, Mrs. Charles B. Gwathney, at 28 West 138th street. Cobb and his brother-in-law, one John Boyle of 10 West 138th street, are alleged to have held Moore up at the point of a revolver on the evening of November 29; They got $40. Police Charged "Numbers." At that time Commissioner Edward and detectives from headquarters are said to have come up to the scene of the holdup and after a short investigation declared the affair was due to a "numbers' feud. In this the patrolman on the beat, Edward Seaman, did not concur. He told the superior officers that business done at this store was strict and militant; catering mainly to the school children at St. Marks Catholic parochial school and at the trade school, a few doors away. Moore made application for a permit to carry a revolver but his application was not acted upon immediately. Robbins Make Second Visit. The same robbers paid him a second visit, Sunday night, December 8. This time Moore put up a fight and succeeded in knocking Boyle out with a baseball bat and holding Patrolman Seaman arrived and placed him under arrest. Although known the boy had an accomplice, the police failed to pick up Cobb, even though Cobb is said to have visited Boyle in the Tombs on Monday. Moore renewed his request for a pistol permit and was again put off. Then on Tuesday night Cobb is alleged to have returned to the store alone, and in the presence of a customer, held Moore up for a third time. After he had taken all the money in the store, he is said to have told Moore he was going to kill him. The customer was intimidated by the gun and made no effort to stop Cobb, and as the thug left the store, he fired point-blank at Moore, the bullet entering the left side of skull, plowing its way two inches into his brain. Bullet Beara Death An alarm was given by the customer and the dying man was rushed to Harlem Hospital where he hingered until Sunday morning. In the meantime the police got busy and on Friday Cobb was apprehended by Patrolman Seaman and Detective Burns. He has been identified by the customer and a youth named Whittaker, who lives nearby. Cobb is being held without bail on a charge of first degree murder. The dead storekeeper was a native of Virginia and the body was shipped there on Tuesday for burial. He was unmarried and is survived by a sister and brother. HOUSE VOTES $1,249,000 FOR HOWARD'S NEEDS Bill Passed Without Argument and Is Now In Hands of Senate Washington, D.

A note from Father John LaFarge, editor of "America--National Catholic Weekly," expresses the fear that this might give rise to a misunderstanding, since, as he writes, "The Institute is not just for Negro CATHOLIC CHILDREN."

HOWARD STUDENTS CLEARED IN COURT BY JUDGE GIVENS Fine Tribute to Veracity of Witnesses From College Campus Washington, D. C—Commending the witnesses for their unusual veracity Judge Ralph Givens on Police Court on December 14, dismissed the case against two Howard University students charged with disorderly conduct and assault in an altercation with two officers on Monday morning at Sixth street and Howard place. Judge Givens stated that he had never tried a case in which he was more convinced of the truthfulness of witnesses than of the seven students and one instructor who testified for the defense in this case. He said their testimony reflected the highest credit upon the character training given at Howard University. The two students, Leroy A. Clay, 19, of Baltimore, and James P. Ramsey, 19, of Philadelphia, were driving in a Ford roadster to the university campus on Monday morning when words were exchanged with the occupants of another car who later proved to be officers of the law. As fight ensued, attracting a large number of students with the possibility of serious consummation, Ramsey were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and assault. Both charges were dismissed against Clay, and Ramsey was released on his personal bond. The two students were defended by Attorney Geo E. C. Hayes, with Assistant District Attorney Fitzpatrick representing the Government.

Declares That After Declining Leadership for Himself He Offered to Nominate and Support Alderman Hawkins, Who Did Not Accept Because of interest evidenced in the action taken by the Republican minority in the Board of Alderman in naming Alderman J. C. Baldwin as leader, instead of either of the two Negro members of the Board, Alderman Fred R. Moore of the 19th A. D., has given to the press a statement as to what occurred when the conference was held in the office of County Republican Chairman Samuel S. Koenig for the purpose of naming the minority leader. Mr. Moore declares that in declining to accept the position himself, he asserted his willingness to nominate and vote for Alderman John C. Hawkins from the 21st A. D., but that gentleman did not accept the offer. The statement follows: said he ought to be minority leader thinking he was best qualified for the position because of his experience in the Assembly, and he did not see what he could say to the people of Harlem, by way of explanation if he was not selected. "After Alderman Hawkins" had Mr. Moore's Statement. "There have appeared in newspapers of recent date various statements purporting to be an account of what looks like as the conferrar of Republican members of the Board of Aldermen held to elect a minister. The statements in the mail, have been so erroneous and misleading that I deem it fitting to relate in substance what really transpired. "The conference was called by County Chairman Samuel S. Koenig and held in his office. After it had been opened by Chairman Koenig I stated I could not see my way clear to accept the minority leadership and was not a candidate. I said I did not desire the leadership because it would take up too much of my time and at my age I did not desire to meet my life by taking on added responsibility, preferring to give all my time in furthering the interests of the 19th Aldermanic District. I declared I did not believe in a leadership which meant simply to draw extra compensation, nor could I permit myself to be merely a figure-head leader. "I pointed out that no allowance was made for a secretary and additional help and that I did not feel that I could meet the financial demands required of such leadership as I believed in." Would Vote for Hawkins. "I further stated that I thought the minority leadership should come to Harlem; that the voters in the section would be greatly complimented and in my opinion such a move would add to the prestige of the Republican party. "I then and there declared that I would nominate and vote for John Clifford Hawkins of the 21st Aldermanic District for the minority leadership.

Mitchell co-leader of the Assembly, the president, no objection having made to him sitting in. He heard all that transpired.

It was left to Chairman Koenig to give a statement to the press. "These are salient facts of conference and cannot be denied. Everybody knows I always stand for race recognition and representation.

Wynne, Commissioner of Health, Thursday afternoon, December 12, at the semi-annual meeting of the Bellevue-Yorkville Health Demonstration, East 38th street, of which he is chairman. "So convinced, are we that district health centres keep in closer touch with health conditions in their immediate surroundings," said Dr. Wynne, "that Mayor Walker has pledged twenty new such centres for the treatment of the sick poor and to prosecute vigorously the practice of disease prevention. The results, obtained by the Belleville-Yorkville Health Demonstration have proved beyond doubt that concentrated effort, in a given district not only keeps down the mortality rate, but also through a campaign for education teaches the residents how to live/letter and longer. 20 New Health Centres "The twenty additional health centres pledged by the Mayor will mean much for the physical well being of the city. Just as the Fire Department is able to respond to a fire call at a given point when an alarm is sounded, so, too, will the Department of Health be able to respond in the case of a disease outbreak in any one of the health centre districts, should one occur. And by having such districts will be able to concentrate their force, for example, on the other districts, its spread and other activities. For each day of the year we will know just what are the health conditions in each district. Moreover, by this concentration we will be able to avoid doing unnecessary work where it is not needed. In other words we shall be able to use a rifle instead of a shotgun. Every uninterrupted visit by a public health nurse or medical inspector which we can avoid making, means that much more service which we can render where this is needed. One of these new health Centres will soon be opened in Harlem. Two Important Experiments. Dr. Edward T. Desine, director of the Bellevue-Yorkville Demonstration, in opening his address and announced that the Bellevue-Yorkville Demonstration had offered the Department of Health about $1000 its resources for the 1990 and 1991 Demonstrations and accorded the money. He also announced that the Demonstration "had decided upon, two important experiments." "The first of these," said Dr. Desine, "is an arrangement to supply medical laboratory service to private physicians for their free patients, or at a moderate cost for those who can demonstrate already has a consulting diagnosis service, giving X-ray service to patients sent by private付员ers, who choose to send them. To avoid the expense of fitting up a laboratory, the Demonstration is contemplating an arrangement with a small hospital in the district already was used for the laboratory, and the Demonstration's financial responsibility will be limited to the tests made for free patients. "The other plan of the Demonstration is to supply the services of an office nurse for one day in the weeks or a part of the day, to a selected group of physicians who will undergo the preventive practice. Eventually, if the plan is successful, its cost will be met by charge to patients." Supplying Health Workers Dr. Devine then announced that the Demonstration is placing qualified doctors, nurses, clerks, social workers, statisticians, educators and a modern and complete N-ray equipment at the disposal of the Department of Health. "There, we bunk' about that," he added, "We are not exploiting it for publicity purposes. The plausions are not imposed from the outside, but are agreed upon in conference.

Brown Is Principal Speaker at 50th Anniversary of Eureka Lodge, F. M Rev. J. W. Brown Is Principal Speaker at 50th Anniversary of Eureka Lodge, F. M Rochester, N. Y. "The fifteenth anniversary of Eureka Lodge, No. 36, F. and A. M., Prince Hall, was celebrated with a public program and banquet at Calver Hall. Tuesday evening, December 10. The Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor of Mother A. M. E Zion Church of New York City and former pastor of the A. M. F. Zion Church here, was the anniversary speaker. Dr. Brown, after complimenting the lodge on its splendid record of achievement during the past fifty years, said in part. "One of" the tenets of our Most Ancient and renown institution is brotherly, love, which virtue should fill, every Mason's heart and which will cause him to have a tenderly regard and sympathy for humanity everywhere. It makes him both a humanitarian and a cosmopolitan. He sees every man in the image of his Master, whether he be high or low, rich or poor. "It is this principle in Masonry that unites men of every country, sect and opinion; cements friendship and makes the whole world into one common-brotherhood. It also believes in bringing relief to the distressed, whether he be a Mason or not." During the course of his address, Dr. Brown reported progress in the Masonic Home in New York City, Speaking on the subject he said: "There are forty-nine lodges within the jurisdiction of the Prince Hall Masons in the State of New York today. The conditions of affairs at the present time seem to be very much upset among Masons. Things are changing since there is a possibility of getting rid of the old skeleton which remains standing in West 144th street. Money will be returned to the lodges which made loans during the months of September, October and November. They have secured a permanent home in 120th street, west of 8th avenue, which was a convalescent home for aged Jewish people. The property consists of two houses, turned into a saw sold at a sairite sale at the cost of $40,000. The deal has been consummated for the property, deposits made and the deed is in the hands of our lawyer. The building is in first class condition and we are at present receiving a rental of $200 monthly." Concluding his address, Dr. Brown said: "One cannot with much assurance say what will be our state and condition fifty years from now but unless there is more employment and an increase in the Negro population in Rochester, and a deeper racial consciousness—unless there is more Christianity and less churchesty—our condition may not be as good as it is now.

Daytona, Fla.—Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, founder and president of the Daytona-Cookman College, and for four years president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, has issued a call, asking for a conference of the heads of all national organizations of colored women to meet here during late February or early March, 1929, for the interchange of knowledge, and uniting through a national council into cooperation of all national bodies. "The American Negro woman," says Mrs. Bethune, "is beginning to seek or herself economic freedom and independence which is characteristic of the American white woman." She asserts that women are the foundation of society, and must solve the problems of child welfare, household economics, physical and mental hygiene, morality, education and recreation. Declaring that women's organizations are more numerous and diversified and more keenly alive to the needs and group, Mrs. Bethune finds, given in her position "to make use of the Negro's purchasing power as an effective instrument to make use of the Negro's purchasing power as an effective instrument to keep open the doors already open to the Negro and to open doors that have remained closed." Concluding the call, Mrs. Beddin writes, "It is anticipated that out of this, proposed conference 'there will spring an acquaintance and reciprocal sympathy. . . . It is rather hoped that the calling into life of a National Council of Colored Women of the United States will show how the aims of the group can be correlated and a purpose may be formed through which women may reach 'such progress' as would be impossible for any national organization working alone."

Ben Johnson, a 41-year-old Richmond Negro who has been for the past sixteen years employed at the Richmond post office as a letter carrier, are shown in the October number of "La Revue Moderne," a well-known Parisian art journal, which also carrier in the issue an interesting' biographical sketch of the promising artist. Native of Richmond George Johnson, who has received this recognition of his work, is a native of Richmond and lives here at 410 North Adams street. He is unmarried and his mother resides with her son. His father died many years ago. He is still pursuing his art studies and at present is taking a correspondence course being offered by Columbia University. Some of his cartoons by him were carried weekly in the Planet the local Negro journal, and his work in this line has also, from time to time, appeared in leading Negro newspapers of other cities. Two of his cartoons were shown in the Literary Digest and one in the New York Tribune, about ten years ago. Also in The News Leaded book plate contest for the new Richmond Public library his contribution was deemed among the three hundred and was displayed here in the New York Bennett Waddley Company store, with the other twelve best specimens of book plates. Work Commended The particular work which brought forth the article in the French journal referred to was a water color painting entitled "Athletes, Ethiopian Writer of the Period 2122 B. C." This painting was shown, last January, at an exhibition of fine arts by American Negroes held in New York City under the auspices of the Harmon Foundation and the mission on Church and Race Relations. It was also included in a traveling exhibit under the same auspice, and was sent to several American cities. The painting after being widely shown, was finally purchased by the B. J. Speed Memorial Museum, of Louisville, and is now in that city. The gritted Negro man who has been honored was born here, and was celebrated the local college schools. He later attended Hampton Institute, and there took a course in the tailoring trade. He is a man of modest bearing and of a courteous manner, who is esteemed by all who know him. Rev.

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.

John H. Russell of the Marines. Mr Fish urged the essential necessity of securing the cooperation and confidence of the education of Harms and that they should be given immediately an important voice in the administration of their governmental affairs.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21 1929. THE QUESTION OF HAITI. The recent outbreak in Haiti against the tyrannical rule of the American occupation, as exercised by High Commissioner Russell, has led to some exhibition of interest in the status of that island by both branches of Congress. In the Senate there were a number of references to the situation, with some disapproval of the action of this Government voiced by such strict constitutionalists as Senator Borah. But so far this has led to no decisive action. The resolution introduced by Senator King of Utah calling for the recall of the marines, still lingers in the lap of the Judiciary Committee, if indeed it has not expired of ination before this time. While his committee assignments were accepted as satisfactory to him, Representative DePriest would doubtless have preferred more powerful committees than those to which he was named, but new members do not get hold of those kind of assignments, as a rule. The rule of seniority prevails in both Houses of Congress, and the new member must pass his noviceate before he can get the more important assignments. Mr. DePriest evidently appreciates this fact, and has made up his mind to play the game, regardless of the childish antics of his associates from some of the Southern states, In the House of Representatives the Foreign Affairs Committee reported the resolution authorizing the appointment of the commission recommended by the President in his special message, which is expected to come up for action during the week. The Under Secretary of the State Department, after stating that it was "timely to consider the future policy of government toward Haiti," declared that "We want a clear policy," adding that President Hoover had committed himself in no way on the question of what to do with Haiti. This statement would make it appear that the administration is endeavoring to keep an open mind on the question, until the proposed commission has been able to throw more light on the subject. There has been no lack of testimony as to the outrageous nature of the American interference in Haiti, and the immense harm done to that island, in the suppression of its liberties and the destruction of life and property. To offset this, the officials of the Occupation point to a few miles of reconstructed public roads for the motor cars of the marines, the establishment of a few rural schools, the introduction of some more recent methods of sanitation and the treatment of tropical diseases. CHURCH WOMEN CONCERNED. A significant note in the Federal Council Bulletin indicates that Church women are becoming concerned about the matter of race relations. The ground for this statement was furnished in the recent activities of the Church Women's committee of the Federal Council's Committee on Race, Relations. Several weeks ago this committee acted as sponsor for a women's conference in New York City with more than two hundred delegates in attendance, representing the larger Protestant denominations and nearly equally divided as to race. The purpose of this meeting was to present the need for interracial work in New York and to set forth some of the projects that might be taken in hand by a women's committee. It was decided to authorize a permanent committee and the following suggestions were offered as the scope of its work: Securing new economic opportunities for women and girls of the Negro race, especially among church organizations which employ clear help; increasing knowledge of the better life of Negro life through trips to Harlem and cooperation in the annual exhibit of Negro art at International House; securing opportunities for speakers of race relations at local church meeting and promoting a yearly conference of white and colored church women for discussion and inspiration. It is confidently expected that all the will tend to a better knowledge of each race by the other, with the object of effecting a practical betterment of existing conditions. The next General Interracial Conference of Church Women will be held at Oberlin, Ohio, by invitation of President Ernest H. Wilkins of Oberlin College. Two hundred delegates have been assigned to the denominations and women's organizations interested in race relations. This active interest of the women of both races in the subject of bringing about better race relations is one of the most hopeful signs in the situation. The mission of the church means anything it should mean the bringing of peace and goodwill to the nations of men. As the women constitute the active working forces of most of the churches, the carrying out of such a mission will depend largely, if not entirely, upon their efforts and active cooperation. The formation of these women's committees is a promise that such cooperation and support will be forthcoming.

Considerable light has been thrown on the arbitrary methods practiced in subverting the governmental system of Haiti, and other weak nations south of us, by the indirect revelations of General Smedley D. Butler, who at the outset of the American occupation was in command of the marines. General Butler, in an address made in Pittsburgh, was quoted regarding Haiti, as complacently asserting that the marine-controlled President had dissolved the Congress to prevent the legislative body from passing a new constitution. In regulating elections, Butler explained that the opposition candidates were declared bandits, when it became necessary to carry an election. This same General Butler acquired an unenviable reputation for "shooting off his mouth," as head of the police department of Philadelphia, yet there is every reason to believe that he was spilling the real facts in his references to American intervention in Nicaragua and Haiti. At all events the Navy Department thought it necessary to call upon him for an explanation. It is confidently expected that all this will tend to a better knowledge of each race by the other, with the object of effecting a practical settlement of existing conditions. The next General-Interracial Conference of Church Women will be held at Oberlin, Ohio, by invitation of President Ernest H. Wilkins of Oberlin College. Two hundred delegates have been assigned to the denominations and women's organizations interested in race relations. This active interest of the women of both races in the subject of bringing about better race relations is one of the most hopeful signs in the situation.

The formation of these women's committees is a promise that such cooperation and support will be forthcoming. There is nothing new in all these recent revelations concerning the American occupation of Haiti. The suppression of Haitian liberties and the rule of the machine gun have prevailed on that unhappy island since 1915, with the continued protest of the Haitian people disregarded by this government. It is only the fact of the recent outbreak that has directed the attention of President Hoover and Congress to this flagrant case of oppression of a weaker nation by a stronger one, the offender in this case being the United States.

The criticism was based on his statement, made from the bench, that his reason for holding the accused men was that gambling is a propensity of Negroes, and that no Negro could look upon a gambling game without taking part. The lawyer for the defence proved beyond a doubt that there was not enough legal evidence to hold the accused, none of them being legally identified as participating in the game, but the judge stuck to his conviction based on the theory of racial propensities. holidays will do more the season brightest cheerful.

The Now, racial propensities are not always reliable guides of go by, especially in a land like this, where each race is constantly appropriating and assimilating some of the propensities of the other. For instance, we find white musicians playing jazz and white singers essaying to render spirituals, while colored musicians do not hesitate to tackle operatic selections and songs in many of the languages of Europe. When it comes to gambling, we find that "craps" has become a house and club diversion among the whites, while white workers along the piers spend the noon hour in flipping the rolling dominos. Fried chicken and watermelon, once supposed to be the favorite delicacies of the darker race, are now in high favor at the summer road houses and the country inns, where the bulk of the trade is catering to motor parties of whites. The offence of chicken stealing, once supposed to be indulged in by Negro offenders only, is now found to be practiced without any restriction of race or color. In one case reported last summer the complainant who owned the stolen fowl was colored while the thief who stole it was white. In this exchange of tastes and occupations, who is to determine what are the original or primitive propensities of any particular group or race? The Jersey justice who held the nine men accused of gambling on so flimsy a ground as that set forth has not kept up with the trend of the times. Gambling is not confined to any particular race in this country, but it enters largely into the common nature of humanity, especially the nature of the average American, who is willing to take a chance on most anything that is liable to come up in the day's work. The sighers of the letter, who took exception to Judge Ferry's aspersions upon the race, termed his reason for holding the men, "a poor specimen of Americanism, tinged with prejudice, hate and malice," which is pretty strong language to use concerning a judge. We would not like to go so far, as it may be that the Judge is one of those people who having conceived ideas fail to note the coming of new conditions. Such single track minds do not help the administration of justice, whether it be in Jersey or some other state. CLEANING UP FOR CHRISTMAS. A systematic drive for a cleaning up of the tenement houses of Harlem was announced for this week by the Tenement House Department. One hundred inspectors will be assigned to duty in the district between 115th and 149th streets, running from the Hudson to the Harlem River. This announcement was made in answer to a request from the president of a Harlem renters' association, for aid in cleaning up some fifty tenements. The department will enforce sanitation standards in public parts of all buildings, such as halls and stairways. A survey of some fifteen hundred tenements in Harlem, made by the president of this tenants association, showed that in some districts as many as ninety per cent of the houses were in an unsanitary condition. More than one hundred and seventy-five thousand persons are said to live under such conditions, which are responsible in great measure for existence of tubercular and other diseases to an abnormal degree. The necessity for concerted action to correct these conditions is obvious. The action taken by the Tenement House Department is none too soon. It is up to the landlords, and the tenants as well, to cooperate in making and keeping the houses owned and occupied by them in sanitary condition. The landlords or owners should make needed repairs to plumbing and heating facilities with promptness, and have leaky roofs and defective apparatus attended to without tedious delay. Tenants on the other hand should exercise care in the use of the apartments and the equipments furnished, avoiding rough handling and unnecessary breakage. Refuse and garbage should not be kept on the premises nor thrown down the dumb waiters, where such conveniences are part of the equipment. The disposal of such waste matter should be attended to by the janitor under such regulations as convenience may require. A general cleanup for the Christmas er relations on both sides. The landlord is entitled to his rent, of course, but the tenant is also entitled to live in healthful surroundings, for which concerted efforts on both sides are necessary.

Ashby issued of our existence as an Order we were content to care for *Lie sick*, sympathize with the distressed and bury our dead, but the material we care for is constant activity in life and in death in the form of building up orearing down. "And so it is with organizations that either progress to a higher, truer and better stage of usefulness, or there is retrogression, going backward to the stage of disintegration, which is the tear and destruction of its usefulness." He said he had decided to raise the Order to a higher state of usefulness, and to this end an Educational Commission was appointed. The chairman. Her work was painstaking, strenuous, but it progressed slowly, and in 1927 this annual scholarship was established, to the joy of Supreme Chancellor Hawkins and the pleasure of its chairman.

A NEW DEFINITION The incident, Stapel can a outward street by an officer, who in way, furnished the initial one way street joke. According to "Fargo COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON THE SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS Referring to the passing of John Mitchell, the indomitable editor of the Richmond Planet, the St. Luke Herald of Richmond said: Mr. Mitchell was a symbol of individual tenacity and a fighting heart. For the past half century he has been a familiar figure in newspaper, fraternal and banking circles. Through the richmond planet, his mouthpiece, when he spoke, he was heard and even feared. He was one of the pioneers in race journalism. There were hosts of people who had an almost vicious dislike for the fery editor and his odd temperament, but behind all this dislike was an equal amount of anger and fighting heart even against odds. The latter seven years of his life were fraught with disappointment and conditions under which most men would: have curled up and wilted, but until the editor's physician forced him to bed, he carved out a vast territory of valiant struggle against the approach of death; pain and discomfort racking his body. The passing of John Mitchell takes from Richmond and the State of Virginia a pictureque figure, who even dared to run or govern a city of the Old South, an atmosphere of the Old South, which has always considered Negroes to be inherently inferior. That is an appropriate tribute to a pioneer in race journalism by a local contemporary. Incidentally, we recall that Mr. Mitchell served in the oatset of his career as Richmond correspondent of the New York Globe, one of the predecessors of THE AGE. Commenting on the belated decision of the Ohio Supreme Court to review the case of former Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, who was convicted of bribery, the Cleveland Gazette said: Whether the State Supreme Court's consideration of the case will result in a new trial, or anything else favorable to Fleming, remains to be seen, of course. However, its consent to review the case is at least encouraging. Tom Moe, the attorney in insurance. Whether he is innocent or guilty, Walter Oehme, the alleged victim, was not materially harmed by what he claims Tom did to him as well as for him. Therefore, there is a widespread feeling, among the citizens of all classes in this community, that Fleming has already been sufficiently punished and convicted, that in the Ohio Supreme Court will find in its careful review of the case enough to warrant giving him a new trial, if indeed it does not give him his freedom from further prosecution which many feel would really amount to persecution. As the veteran editor of the Goette was a severe critic of the Councilman's political tacies, when the latter was in office, his plea for a new trial is all the more generous. Noting the celebration of the first century of the Oblate Sisters of Baltimore, the Baltimore Afro-American said: A cablegram from the Pope, a mass in the Baltimore cathedral at moon at which His Grace Archbishop Michael J. Curley pontificated, and the attendance of leading Catholic dignitaries from throughout the diocese drew public attention Sunday at the 100th anniversary of the Oblate Sisters of Providence, the only race sisterhood in the church. Dr. Peter Guilday, white professor of history at the Catholic University in his sermon at the cathedral said: The Oblate Sisters are truly children of Divine Providence. Their beginning came from something higher than human planning. They were founded with practically nothing of this world's resources. They have increased and multiplied all through these years without much material aid. They have come courageously and boldly, and sent them, with their rebellious enthusiasm and their courage, unshaken. With "record unblemished" and "courage unshaken" as Dr. Guilday says, the four founders have, in one hundred years, become 170, of which 40 are in the mother house in Baltimore. Of a two-story house in Baltimore, have come fifteen schools in cities of the south and in Cuba. But after all the greatest lesson the country get from the Obate Sisters is the eagerness of Negro sisters, and the something for themselves, and the something for Catholics to assist them in doing it. To many who hope for an increasingly large Negro Catholic priesthood the presence of Father Charles R. Ungles, professor of Epiphany College and one of the few priests in the country, was both an encouragement and a benediction. The Afro-American concluded that Baltimore can be proud, if it will give the American church an example of Negro leadership that will impress the country. The Pittsburgh Courier thinks that President Hoover "overlooked a bet," as it puts it in sporting parlance; in his recent appointments to commissions dealing with important subjects. It said: Seriously, we think the President has the biggest job on earth. We imagine he will agree with us. Having such a big job, he is held to closer accountability than the man with a small responsibility. He who seeks a position is supposed to know Faacts for Fair People", issued by the street railway of Kansas City, here. "One-way street is a street on the material bumped from the rear only." By the way, that's no joke, either. Saturday, December 21, 1920 and appreciate the natural consequences likely to accompany that job. What we are trying to say is this: President Hoover has too much to do when he assumes personally the task of taking care of people who are called upon to help the administration of the government's business. He cannot anticipate everything. He is human and must make mistakes. He actually has to rise to note one or two recently made. Not long ago President named a Commission on Crime. Not a Negro on it. A little later, he named a Commission on larceny, and not a Negro on that commission. And not a Negro on his read somewhere, in his book the American Negro contributes not a little to the crime of this country. We imagine, also, that the Engineer has heard that the illiteracy of our country is due in some measure to the Negroes of these United States. Now, if we had been naming a Commission on Crime, we would have named an outstanding Negro-worker noted criminal lawyer. We would standing Negro educator on the Commission on Illiteracy. The President did not do anything of the kind in either case. The point appears to have been well taken. An appointment of this kind would have more practical value than any number of memorial commissions to erect monuments of one kind or another. --- Talking about the proposition to send a commissioner to Liberia to investigate the report of "enforced labor" in the rubber industry, the Washington Tribune said: Why go to Liberia to investigate tribal customs, when in ten of our Southern States "involuntary servitude" commonly called "peonage" (which is nothing more or less than "American Slaves") is being carried out by the government. Why not become indignant over the enslavement of our own citizens here at home? They need the relief this government should give them to support their families and maintain their homes and thereby be good and safe. They need the service to and doing their bit toward the maintenance of our government. Why not turn the Department of Justice on this nefarious system which is being fostered in at least ten of the 48 states of these United States? The recent expose of the turpentine bars of Florida, by the New York World and Post Dispatch, a supposed Christian Nation, whose President is said to be of the streetest Christian faith in this country—the Quakers. How can President Hoover be hypocritical enough to send a commission to Liberia to investigate supposed "informed labor" there, when in ten of his southern states Liberia can readily find thousands of his fellow citizens working and living under the most atrocious and abominable slavery that ever existed in this country? It would be a travesty on justice and a glaring mockery of the supposed enforcement of the Constitution of these United States for the President to send a commission to investigate slavery in Literia when he has 10 times as much and far more atrocity here in his pet Southland. He encourages the violation of the Constitution as long as he permits it to exist. But we believe it was the Liberian government which asked for the appointment of such a commission through its representative in the League of Nations, one member of the commission to be named by the United States. Of course this does not relieve this government from its duty to suppress oppose under the Constitution. Detailing the efforts made by public spiritized citizens to ferret out the murderers of Attorney Octavius Granady, who was brutally killed in the primary contest of 1928, the Chicago Bee said: The County Commissioners refused to appropriate the funds, asked for by the Citizen's Committee, and, unadmitted, the committee appealed directly to the citizens who subscribed and paid in the required $300,000 within a week. A special prosecutor's staff with and colored hats was formed, and they were both as chief, and shortly thereafter a group of white men were arrested, indicted, tried and acquitted of the murder of Granady. Several weeks ago the city was startled by the announcement of the special prosecutor and his aides that new indictments would be asked against another group of the Granady murder, and included the Philip Carroll and several of his men, members of the Chicago police force. State's Attorney Swanson immediately held a conference with the special prosecutor's staff and issued a statement at its close in white when he declared that he did not believe the men sufficiently strong to convict, but added that he would not oppose the special prosecutor going through with the case. Mr. Loesch went through with case and, the trial will not go down in history in the strangest trials in the annals of the criminal courts of Cook County. It fact such intense interest and excitement was stirred up in the case that at its conclusion in the court of Judge Joseph B. who presided, the Chicago Bar Association launched an investigation into the conduct of the case. The Bee admitted that the Grand jury murder may never be solved and declares that his martyrdom was it has caused a reaction among its critics against crime in politics.

Johnson said, "Being of service to one's fellowship is a gift of speaking privilege of speaking intimately and frankly to my congregation is one of the greatest joys of my ministry. However, the inability to impress people is the one supreme sorrow in my ministry; they not "Ministers are divinely appointed but human in nature and as such, they posh the weakness of mankind.

"And when he was come near, he told me, 'Speak of the time Christ lamented Jerusalem.' His inspiring discourse concerned the greatness, the rising and falling of empires and of everyday life.

The Senior Missionary Society held its monthly meeting directly after the morning service at which time the delegate to the last quarterly convention made her report.

The pastor speaking again at the evening service. Among the five good members dropped from the roll of this church by death during the week were two consistent ones, Mrs. Julia Shade Berry George Hines. Both were splendid examples of the highest type of Christianity, possessing other unique qualifications which enabled them to progress and for the upbuilding of Christ's Kingdom here on earth. Bridge St. A. M. E. Church "Creeed does not mean anything unless it affects us and makes do and act according to that creed. We must not look upon God as a God of our church, our community, etc., but must have a larger self, one that goes out with God, realizing that He loves the whole world." This was the central thought of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Sunday morning. The texts were St. John 3:16 and St. Matthew 5:18. The topic was "The Larger Self." By Tyler further stated that we should seek to be perfect as God was. The perfect in this sense means that as God was complete, full and round in His desires for good so should we be. In short we should strive at all times to be the best we can be. We should we in life. We must not have the idea of God blessing us and destroying our enemies. He has no pets. He-permits the rain to fall on the just and unjust. Sometimes we are brought face to face with implications of Christian faith. Such an implication is difficult to understand, a member at all times that God is in command. Seven persons joined the church when the invitation was extended. At the evening hour the pastor filled the pulpit. He delivered a soul-stirring message to a large congregation. The flowers in the pulpit were in memory of Mrs. M. Wilkinson and were given by her son and daughter. Mrs. Bessie B. Robinson was reelected president of the fair. In 1900 Mrs. Wilkinson and his officers are John McCoy, vice president; Ninnie V. Walker, secretary; Mrs. Lavinia Myers, assistant secretary, and Fred Aydlotte, treasurer Concord Baptist Church The Sunday morning service was enriched by the singing of Jerome Wright, member of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, who sang the obligato in an anthem, Seek Ye the Lord." Also at this service was Clifford Hirstord, the school's St. Normal School, Montgomery, Ala. Mr. Hurston is studying for his master's degree at Columbia. He teaches two training classes in Concord Church, and spoke Sunday morning on the subject of "Education for the Child." The Sunday school again this year is carrying out the plan of giving to others by inviting all students, teachers and adults to bring some gift for a child in Liberia, Africa. The plan was successful last year and promises to be entirely fair the next year. In basketball out of teams are not keeping up the record of previous years. The Unlimited team stands fourth on the list in the Brooklyn and Queens S. S. League. The 145-ball team is first, the 130-ball, and the girls third. This is likely poor rating but does not reach the mark it has and even now could. The Dorcas Society has already put into circulation its Gleaners, which when filled with dimes bring in annually about $200 for Christmas dinners for the poor. With the extreme unemployment situation at the ditch have announced this year that the amount can reach the $300 mark to cover the cost of the dinners. Paul Stewart, scoutmaster, has again lined himself up with progressive scouting by starting a cub Scout Gang for boys nine to ten years of age. The entire church is proud to have held many of its members as exhibitors in the Women's Occupational Exhibit at the Ashland Place, "Y." Siloam Presbyterian Ch. The message of the morning hour of worship at Siloam by Dr. George Shippen Stark, pastor, was taken from John 3.7. In his discourse from John 3.7, he states that we can understand miracles when we are regenerated in heart. No man can explain how the grace of God comes into the heart. In every way we are surrounded by mystery. Great inventions, great inventions, great inventions, great originating somehow in the brain. Nothing is without mystery, we live in mystery. God moves in a mysterious way. No man can be strong in christian conviction if he keeps them in secret; he must come to terms with them. This recognition and acknowledgment. The difference between the church and other christian social organizations was beautifully brought out. Jesus offers through His Church, transformation, regeneration, the rebirth; these social christian organizations at best offer reformation. Henry Gettis of 119 Prince street was received into the membership at an evening service. The B.B.A. is in session at 11:55 p.m. The school is looking forward to its Christmas exercises which will be held on the evening given by the program will be given by pupils of the Beginners and Primary Departments. The Christmas carnival held by the school last week was a success in every way. Siloam's Young People's Union held their evening hour of service from 6 to 7 o'clock. An orchestra EVERY MONDAY Marks the opening of a new term for someone at this school. We prepare young men and women for office work and business. Printed Information. Enter Mondays. THE material contrast between the structures with which (Booker and Compton) and commercial plants is sufficiently striking to be enough for one man to bring about.

Aggies Defeat Livingstone in Post Season Football Game Greensboro, N. C.—A human cannon ball, "Bus" Coleman was the big factor in the 12 to 6 defeat handed the Livingstone Bears by the Aggies of A. and T. College on Friday, December 13 in the World War Memorial Stadium. Coleman scored first for the Aggies in the first quarter after Dillard had scooped up a short Bear kick and had run it to the ten yard line. From that point, Bus plowed through tackle for the count. His kick, like all those of the game, was wild. He counted again for A, and if "I" in the second period with an 80-yard gallop, again through tackle. The Bears faced off tackle on the line. On the first play Coleman loose and after shaking off three tacklers had no further troubles except keeping out of the way of his own interference. It was a great day for the husky triple threat man, playing his last game for A. and T. He had one bad break. This was in the second quarter when one of his underhand spiral passes flew out of the arms of the receiver and was caught by Lynn, of the Salisbury team. Lynn had clear path to A, and the took it. A and T. was too heavy for the Bears, a light but snappy outfit and this combination of crushing power with Coleman's magnificent punting and passing was too much for the visitors. Lane and Patterson were all primed to play, but Salisbury preferred not to play against them. Hence, they lost their, last opportunity to play on the A. and T.

In that period, the Mabma school has captured the Southern championship four times and was generally considered to be the nation's best during the 1922-23. This year the Tuskegee eleven ranks right at the top, having seured a 6-0 victory over Wilberforce University, of Ohio at Soldiers Field, Chicago, where 25,000 fans witnessed the game. Beginning with 1923 and up to the present time, Tuskegee has played 67 games, winning 57 tinging eight and losing two. A big part of the team's success has been the excellent coaching, headed by Cleve Abbott, of South Dakota; Ross Owens, of South Dakota; John Brown, of Virginia Union; Horace Preston, of Dennison University, and R. A. Munday, of Hampton. The coaches have had light, green material to work with, a majority of the members of the members of the squail being youngsters of the South. The ability of the coaches in taking these youngsters as they come in from the surrounding territory and building up teams with such records, is to say the least, a great undertaking. From year to year, Tuskegee has taken on all comers, picking the hardest schedules of any teams in the country. Intersectional Success In intersectional warfare, Tuskegee has fared wellly well. Four years ago she beat Lincoln University in Philadelphia and repeated the feat the following year. Last season, A and T College was tried and Thanksgiving of 1929 Tuskegee closed a brilliant campaign by whipping the strong Bluefield eleven of West Virginia. In connection with the success of Tuskegee, it might be well to mention the rise of Negro football throughout the country. It has been remarkable. It is very easy to remember a few years back, when such a thing as a Negro official was out of the question only. Kid Chocolate to Fly To Havana for Xmas Kid Chocolate, flashy Cuban featherweight, booked airplane passage last week for his home in Havana where he will spend the Christmas holidays. Chocolate and his manager, Louis Gutierrez, will board the plane at Hasbrouck Heights in New Jersey Friday, December 20. Chocolate plans to return here in February to fulfill a contract to box in Madison Square Garden. The Havana flash expressly requested that his opponent should not be selected before January 15 when he will cable his verification of the match. Chocolate made this special demand because he is fast taking on weight and is undecided whether he will come back to box in the (eastweight division or make Sammy Mendell's 135-pound title his goal. St. Philips, 15; St. Peter Claver, 14 The Bethel Baptist Sunday school train, playing its first game in the "Sunday School League on December 10. defeated St. Barnabas by the score 17-15.

The overflow of spectators were brought to their feet numerous times by spectacular floor work and shooting of both teams. The game was but right from the very start. Both teams played a strong defensive game the first half, neither scoring but a single field kick. Four foot points for St. Phillip and five for Claver, plus the one point lead at the end of the game. The second half was fast and furious, neither team being able to obtain more than a one or two point lead. The Timer's horn caught Claver on the low end by one point.

Title Staging a brilliant rally during the second half, the Frederick Douglass Junior High School Quintet defeated the Ida and Isaac Straus Junior High team last Saturday to the Public School Athletic League title. The game was played at Public School 99 and the score was 27-18. The victors gained the city title by winning twice in the tourney. A few days before, the Douglass five triumphed over the Dorsysh Junior High School. 38-18. Members of the Douglass, team are: D. Jixon and Trottman, forwards; Hall, L. Dixon and Walcott, guards; and Brown and Bryant, centers white-officials being in use. But as the athletic spirit has grown, the value of sports to Negro schools and colleges has shown itself, with the result that Negro schools have had their representatives study the games, and now it is possible to place on the field capable Negro officials. A marked improvement can be made in the play of the Negro teams also. They are taking the game seriously, and are playing smart, impressive football.

Through it all, Myra Stanhope, played by Miss Frederick is faithful to but one of the man of her choice originally and not even his distrust and cruelty can kill her devotion to him. The story of her trials involving the honesty of her for her husband, makes "Evidence" one of the most dramatic of the years finally.

S. W. Smith, pastor of the Messiah Baptist Church, Yonkers, N. Y. has entered a vehement protest against the decision purported to have been handed down by the committee of judges. It appears that the decision was given to the junior choir of Shiloh Baptist Church, New Rochelle, with Messiah's representatives placed second. As a result, the Rev. Mr. Smith writes that "The choir of Messiah Baptist Church has entered a protest to the decision rendered by Prof. Jackson against them in the contest." Explaining further, the minister writes, "Out of all of the State, there were only four to enter. The reason given by most of them is the unfairness of the judges and the way the whole thing is handled. But the choirs of the Shiloh Church of New Rochelle, Messiah Church of Yonkers, Antioch Church of Brooklyn, and Bethany Church of Brooklyn, accepted the invitation and entered the contest. "But," writes Pastor Smith, "never was there a more feeble effort on the part of a set of judges to reach a conclusion than was the effort of Professor Jackson, Grant, Bridges, and the two ladies, we do not recall their names. They did not reach a decision. The president of the Convention had to go in and ask them to come out, as the audience was leaving." "After much persuasion, they returned with some kind of a statement that was so unintelligible that hardly anyone could understand. The choir of the Shiloh Church was dubbed the winner, so far as the audience could understand, but they received severe criticism. The Messiah Church was judged second, and yet he claimed that they sang better but that they hesitated a little too long before starting on their second selection. "We wonder what a choir should do in a singing contest? Should they jump from one piece to another, or should they wait for their director? "The Messiah Church challenges the Shiloh Church to sing for the championship of Westchester County, with a new set of competent judges. The plaint of this pastor over the alleged mistreatment accorded his choir, emphasizes the perilous position assumed by a volunteer judge in making decisions in contests of this sort. It is a parольous proposition, and bears out the old proverb that "Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread." WILLIS BRADLEY, TENOR, MAKES GOOD IMPRESSION ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON Eugene Willis Bradley, tenor, was presented in recital on Sunday afternoon, October 15, at 4 o'clock, at the Elk's Imperial Auditorium, by the Romantic Aces. He was supported by Eustace "Bert" White, baritone, and Miss Lydia Winters, pianist and accompanist. Mr. Bradley began his musical career in Seattle, Wash., where he studied with T. Francis Smith and John Lince. Coming East, he continued his work under direction of Wilson Lamb at his studio in Orange, N. J. Later, he was engaged as one of the chorus tenors in "Showboat," but found the work incompatible and gave it up. He is now devoting all of his efforts to teaching singing and recital work. His voice is of fine natural quality, with an appealing cadence. He gives evidence of having studied earnestly and faithfully, and gives special credit to the instruction he received from Mr. Lamb. His program was interesting in character and bore the earmarks of careful preparation. It was well suited to the lyric quality of his voice, and at no time did he essay into the robusto field or attempt any bavura singing. Smoothly, easily and naturally, he gave of his best in the rendering of songs by Lehman, Handel, Braga, Puccini, Schendler, Bennett, Scott and Burleigh, with a group of Spirituals by Burleigh and Dett. Particularly effective was his singing of "E lucevan le stelle" from "Tosaa" by Puccini and the Hebrew lament, "Eili, Eili" ("Father, why hast You forsaken me") by Schendler. The accompanist, Miss Winteris, was heard for the first time and her work was worthy of compensation. She was technically efficient and displayed sympathetic comprehension in supporting the singer. She played a solo number, the C Sharp Minor Prelude by Rachmaunoff, with good effect. The baritone, Mr. White, programmed as from the Canal Zone, may have done some good singing down in South America, but he gave no evidence of being a worthwhile singer on this occasion. It will be charitable not to make any further critical comment. The audience was not large, but it is understood that the promoting club had disposed of a number of tickets that were not used. On Sunday afternoon, December 29, at 5 o'clock, Father Lewis H. Berry, rector of St. Philips P. E.

ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM "You are invited to attend the Afternoon, 'Get-Together' Party to be given by the Rhythm Club on Monday afternoon, December 16, 1929, at 3 p.m. in Bert H. Rhythm Club Room, 168 West 132nd street. Special guests will be Alderman Fred R. Moore, Edward Canavan, chairman, Local 802; Lieut. Fred W. Simpson, Daniel Bruno, Joseph Abramham, Michael Briglio, Edward Urbach. Respectfully yours, BERT HALL, President; ALBERT-CALDWELL, Secretary. Thus read the invitation sent to the writer of this column. Owing to unforeseen circumstances your correspondent could not reach the club rooms until after 5, when the speechmaking and jollification was just completed. On entering the rooms, we met the ever-courteous Chief Sergeant-at-Arms, William Wilson, on his way out, followed by some of the white candidates running for office on the Governing and Trial Boards. The rooms were packed with musicians who were loud in praise of the occasion. Jimmy Davis was the first to greet him. Davis gave the other candidates, a chance? Did we give them a square deal? Here, Aubrey, (Brooks) come and tell him. You know what he wrote last week." Aubrey elbowed his way to us and said to Jimmy, "I am not paying any attention to Percy." Aubrey then gave us a sketch of the proceedings. Fred Simpson had made an elfly speech and mentioned that he (Fred) had been carrying a union card for 20 years. If the leutenant is sensitive about his age he should not have broadcast this info. Deacon Johnson also regaled the squeezed audience with some of his vibrant 'and spirited remarks' Fletcher Henderson, vice-president of the club, with his Mona Lisa smile ever present, also addressed the audience. All the white candidates present addressed the meeting, as well as several of our prominent musicians among whom were Tom Fletcher, Bill Elkins, Sergeant at Arms Minton and Albert Caldwell Aubrey Brooks was master of ceremonies. Aubrey said that Harrison S. Jackson, a race musician, whose name is on the ballot for the Governing Board, was invited, but so far had not appeared. The duke, his older man, Moore also prevented his attendance to the meeting. Chairman Canavan wrote a letter regretting his inability to attend. This writer, having occasion to see Mr. Canavan about 2 o'clock Monday, the same day as the meeting, was shown that date on file reserved for a meeting touching the expected lease of the M M P. H. building in East 86th street. He is a joke released by Mr. Canavan on Monday afternoon. One of our old brother musicians visited the chairman when insurance was first adopted by the local.

At The Alhambra Theatre The meanest man in the world is seen in the comedy-drama "Not with my Money" at the Alhambra Theatre this week. His stingy disposition and his miserly treatment of his wife and beautiful young daughter arouse the ridicule of the audience, and when the tables are turned on the sour old fellow everybody is happy. Thomas Moseley plays the part of the meanest man on record to perfection. Handsome Monte Hawley is in love with the daughter. Bebe Townsend, and he is the chief conspirator in bring the "tight-wad" to his senses, which he cleverly does. The wife who rebels after years of "buildozing" is Bessie's Wrightson. A foreign count who had been picked to marry the daughter turns out to be a bogus nobleman and is kicked out. Ted Blackman makes this character enormously amusing. Artie Cain plays the part of a dairy young actress and Al F Watts is a stiff-necked butler.

Jamaica Y Panthers Upset Trenton YMCA BY JAMES KIMBLE Jamaica, L I—Thursday evening, December 12, the Southside sponsored a basketball game and Department of the Y. M. C. A, Dance, at the Polish National Hall in Jamaica. Some three hundred persons were present. There was much cheering and hurraking when the teams of the "Y" Panthers and the Trenton "Y" Rex took the floor to engage in a game which was to make history in the annals of the colored centre of Jamaica. The first half of the game was keenly played by both teams, but when the score ended away, it was discovered that the others' "were leading by a score of 19 to 13. The second half was a reproduction of the first, only a little more spectacular. The shooting of Walker, from all angles of the court, was a beauty to behold. This fellow completely dominated the second half of the game Andy Goodal's excellent guarding and also the defense of McNail was a feature of the game Cholston, a little over anxious, committed four personal fouls, and so was not permitted to play the second half; he did, however, account for three field goals his exit. The team on a whole is the great promise. Turner also starts the "Rex" in this half, but when all the returns were in the "Panthers" had nosed the "Rex" by a score of 36-29 The score: Jamaica 1 Panthers Williams R. F. Gholston L. F.

Daily News, written by Raymond Adams, pursuits to tell the life story of George Moses Horton, slave on a Chatham County plantation, who was born in 1797, who developed as a poet, notwithstanding he could neither read or write, and whose first book *Joema* was published in 1829 just 100 years ago, by Joseph Gales & Son, publishers of Raleigh, N. C. Through courtesy of Prof. Charles H. Moore of Greenborson, the Age is able to give this article written as a Centennial Recognition of a pioneer Negro book, said to be the first published in the South and the second American book by *a Negro* to its readers. NORTH CAROLINA'S PIONEER NEGRO POET By RAYMOND M. ALEXANDRON WALLS Exactly, century ago in 1829, Joseph Gale, and sons, printers, or Raleigh, issued George Moses Horton's "The Hope of liberty." It was a slim little book, but it was the second American book by a Negro, and the first Negro book in the south. Its author was North Carolina's first-writer, who was able to support himself by his writings, and he was the writer of syndicated newspaper features long before newspaper syndicates were known. George Horton made history, and the history of Horton may well be recalled this centennial year of the book. In small, red clay field of a Chatham county plantation George Horton hoed one hot day over a century ago, and hoed, he found that the rhythm of his occupation and the rhythm of the hymn he was humming corresponded. Hummed First Poem It was a Methodist hymn, one that George had heard at meeting on the past Sunday. He hummed it now to relieve the tedium of the long hot day in the field. He hummed the hymn slowly and swung his hose lazily. So deliberately did he sing that he found himself supplying other words to the tune which had been the vehicle for pious sentiments on Sunday. Moreover, the new words rhymed; and George, who didn't know a poet from a porcupine, felt within him the "joy of elevated thought" that is the poet's reward when he has composed a thing of beauty. He sang his new song that night to someone at the "big house," which really was a small house on a small plantation, and that someone wrote it down. The next day George tried a new tune and made a new song; and though the corn crop suffered a crop song strong. Each night George brought a new poem back from the field; each Sunday he learned new tunes and to the tunes he fitted his own ideas, really poetic ideas expressed in the religio-colloquial vocabulary of the slave whose whole experience was restricted to the field and the protracted meeting. A Sample Poem The years in the field were ikriskome to. George. He was 32 years old when the book was published in 1823 and he had begun to feel the indulgence of his drudgery. He included in the book a poem beginning: "Am I sadly cast aside Am I really cast aside, On Misfortune's rugged tide? Will the world my pains deride for ever? "Must I dwell in slavery's night, and all pleasure take its flight, Far beyond my feeble sight, For ever?" Perhaps (and whether it was George's idea or an idea of his white friend at the "big house," no one knows) his slavery's night need not be forever after all George's songs had increased and multiplied. By 1839 there were many poems, and in that year the little book, "The Hope of Liberty," was published in the hope that the proceeds of its sale might buy George from his master, whom he had freed him and send him to Liberia where he paps George had his eye on the poet-laureatehip. Single poems by George Horton had been appearing in the old Raleigh Register; a few had made their way to Boston papers, where they appeared beside the poems of Phyllis ten pieces of sycопaction "carried on" until 2 a. m. 'The music was great and everyone voted the band O K. The "Panthers" next opponents will be the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity the Jamaica, Arena on New Year's, the matinee game and dance and those who were kept away by the inclement weather will be out at this game. The committee is making elaborate preparations. There will be souvenir programs distributed. This will be the first time people of color have had the opportunity of visiting the spacious Wheatley, America's first Negro poet. Poems Attract Attention There the Horton poems attracted attention. The movement to liberate and re-patriate George was started. George, picking cotton late in 1829, had high hopes of freedom and dreamed much of Liberia, and probably picked less cotton in consequence. The book, however, did not sell. George, disillusioned and much disappointed, went to the fall plowing, the Methodist tunes still ringing in his ears, reminding him of heaven rather than the paradise of Liberia. The field work went on for three years, with time-out for fishing and protracted meetings. In 1832 James Horton died, and George was inherited by his son, Hall Horton. By now the poetic fire had burned into George as a field hand. He was a "worried George" in the opinion of young eye on dollars' and who thought much more of a plow horse than of Pegasus. When George, therefore, proposed going to Chapel Hill, a Parnassus 10 miles distant, and sending Hall Horton 50 cents a day for the privilege of staying in the fielded fields of Chatham, that gentleman accepted the offer with sluracy. In 1832 he hired two good field hands for what he would receive for letting his pestering slavepeo go. Proved Astuteness At Chapel Hill George Horton proved himself more astute than Hall Horton had reckoned. He set about making friends with President Caldwell of the university, who became interested in George's freedom and to whom George attached his loyalty. He became one of the campus charmers of the carefree, pre-specialized early days of the university. George's position offered amusement, and the students paid for hearing the poems. The rate of a poem was 25 cents. For a double fee, 50 cents, George would dictate a love lyric. The half-dollar fee vested all rights in the poem in the young student, who, remote from his sweetheart, sent it to her as his own effusion. Many a North Carolina Lydia Langush must have pressed to her ante-bellum bosom verses composed by the black hard of Chapel Hill. Poetry profited the bard. He dictated three or four poems a day, sent his 50 cents to his master, pocketed the balance, went fishing -in Morgan's creek, and again dreamed of freedom and Liberia. He would soon be able to buy himself. Learned to Read and Write It was at this time that George Horton began one of the most remarkable bits of self-education on record. He knew the words of the hymns, he had someone show him the hymn in the hymnal, and he looked at the words in print which he already knew by note. So he learned to read without having learned the alphabet, a process which for modernity commends itself to educators Free. Goes to Philadelphia "But it is a little above," thought George, who stayed on in Chapel Hill still paying Hall Horton 50 cents a day for the privilege. The war came and went. In 1865 George sent his last 50 cents, declared himself free, rode off to Philadelphia with a young union cavalry officer. Of Horton's story is brief. He remained in Philadelphia for the rest of his life and wrote stories which appeared similarly in several newspapers, one of the earliest cases of syndicating newspaper material. His stories were for the most part biblical narratives retold in a modern manner so that they could not be easily recognized. He married and had children, who (so oddly had the thought of slavery and the name of Horton become) went by the name of Snipes, their mother's name. George Horton died about 1883. His story is vague, for he was a mere slave field-hand and the bard of a transient student population; no one bothered to keep records of such people. Prof. Collier Cobb wrote the best account of his life for the North Carolina magazine in 1909 The poetry of Horton is poor stuff, but the centennial of North Carolina's pioneer Negro book is an anniversary to be noticed in passing. Philadelphia, Pa—An exhibit of the various businesses and art developments in this city marked the celebration by the Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust Co. of its ninth anniversary. - Mabie R. R.

C.—Recommendative Oscar DePriest has been given on a place on the Committee on Enrolled Bills, on which he already been placed Representative Allgood of Alabama. Allgood liked the idea of serving on this honorary committee until he learned of DePriest's pointment, and then he resigned saying: "Now that the Republic from Chicago has been added to I do not desire the honor." Mr. DePriest was in Chicago when Allgood made the announcement, when he heard of it he only reply was laconic comment, "Who cares?" The Republican Committees assigned Mr. DePriest to this committee, and the assignment was approved by the Huse. He is also a member of Committees on Indian Affairs and Invalid Pensions.

Of course the men were jealous and thought they would have a contest also. The night was a "bad" one; but there was a good-sized crowd out to witness the reports and the crowning of the Queen and the King. Mrs. Anna Elrley, the head of the Young Women's Missionary Society of the church brought in the highest amount, $11.50; Mrs. Mary Williams was a close second with $11.50. For the men Andrew Skoonmaker usher, was first with $10.60 and P. H. Davis second with $5.50. Mrs. Elrley and Mr. Skoonmaker were crowned Queen and King of Zion. The sum of $100.15 was reported with more to follow. This was considered a remarkable considering that the workers had less than two weeks in which to work, also that it is near Christmas time. Since September 1, this church has raised nearly $2,000 in special efforts, a remarkable showing. Above all, harmony and peace prevail, so Christmas finds her. The pastor and officers, appreciate highly the cooperation of the community and hereby extend compliments of the season. The same to The New York Age and they wish for its noblest-spirited editor.

AN OUTSTANDING ENTER- By Rev. E. W. Stratton Columbia, S. C. The latest business venture of magnitude and importance of our group in this city is the Champion Pearson Imperial Home. Having heard so much favorable comment concerning this new and strictly modern enterprise, we went down to see for ourselves and were so greatly impressed by our success that we were forced to obey in the language of the Queen of Sheba: "The Half" Has Not Been Told." Located at 1325 Park street about two blocks from Main street, near Indigestion Relieved Indigestion Relieved "I drive a car for hire," says Mr. Ike Sabol, of Gadsen, Ala., "and have to get up and go, early and late. Consequently I can't have regular hours for eating and sleeping. I occasionally have indigestion and find it necessary to take a laxative. I had heard of Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT Purely Vegetable for a long time." The druggist told me Black-Draught would help me. I bought a package and had it made into tea and take it any time I feel the need of a laxative. It always helps me. I have much better appetite after I take Black-Draught. I can eat about everything I want and feel full of pop. I would not be without it for double the price." Black-Draught can be taken dry or made into a tea, as you prefer. Either way, it costs only one cent a dose. Sold Everywhere the southwest corner of Washington, in the midst of a large Negro population, the location of the Champion-Pearson Funeral. Home is ideal in every respect.

On the first floor there are rooms for the living and the dead. Here we find the reception hall, the chapel, ladies' rest room, executive offices, display room and slumber room, all of which are appropriately and modernly furnished. Deserving of special mention is the fact that from the laying of the first brick to the final finishing, the whole job was done by Negroes. The Champion, the Champion and Pearson have been appreciated is seen by the fact that since they threw open their doors last summer there has been a constant and steady increase of business.
