A. A. C. P., T. St. Clair Edwards, secretary of the board of trustees of Bethel A. M. E. Church, New York City, who married the widow of the late Rev. Dr. H. K. Spearman, and moved into a house he had purchased in Jamaica, Long Island, is being threatened by white neighbors who object to having a colored family in that particular community. When the Edwards' family moved in, the whites smashed his windows, tore up the shrubbery and made threats of bombing the house if the family did not move out. An appeal to the police authorities resulted in having a guard stationed there. Democratic Leader Warna In the meantime, the local Democratic leader, Dougherty, has visited the home and warned Mr. Edwards that Klansmen of the neighborhood were determined no Negro should live in the neighborhood, and the same Dougherty is alleged to have said that he would "see Edwards and his family dead and in hell" before he would let them remain in their home. The same leader is said also to have tried to intimidate a Mr. Birmingham and wife, from whom Edwards purchased the property. At another time, it is reported, a white man made a rude entrance into the house, holding up a blackened hand before Mrs. Edwards. He claimed to be the owner of thirty houses in the neighborhood, and was accompanied by a group of whites, who stood outside on the street. Threats To Blow House He offered to repay Edwards the amounts paid for the house and threatened if they did not move out the house would be blown up. His inquiries as to Mr. Edwards' movements were not answered by Mrs. Edwards. To counter these activities, William T. Andrews, special legal assistant, and Frank M. Turner, secretary, of the National office and Jamaica branch of the N. A. A. C. P., respectively, are to have a conference with Mr. Edwards to take steps to assure protection for the family.

Moore of the 19th A D made a bitter attack upon discriminations against the Negro by the Republican party. When the drift of Mr. Moore's meaning reached the group of leaders assembled, there was a stunned silence. Continuing, he said he had been a Republican for fifty-two years and warned the party leaders that they must "cui sout race prejudice and stop drawing the color line in political preferences" if they hope to keep the Negro vote. Mr. Moore declared that the Negro had too often seen the Republican party lined up with elements antagonistic to the race, and he demanded a square deal and treatment of Negroes as human beings.

HOSPITAL IN CHICAGO The New York Age WHITE WIFE WAS JEALOUS, SAID COLORED DOCTOR Another Woman, Not Color; Caused Break; Are Back Together Again Los Angeles, Calif.-What was reported as a disagreement and separation has led to the alleged discovery that Dr. Eugene C. Nelson had married Helen Lee Worthing, a former New York actress, and a white woman, at Tijuana, Mexico, in June, 1927, since which time they have been living quietly here in Los Angeles, after a brief residence in an exclusive district of Hollywood. Miss Worthing, who was said to one of the most beautiful girls in New York and the highest paid dancer on the stage, was reported to have "mysteriously disappeared" two years ago. The separation, however, was shortlived, for the couple are together again, with the cause of their disagreement "forgiven and forgotten." "I Love My Husband" Following their reconciliation, which came at a meeting in an attorney's office, Mrs Nelson said: "I love my husband, and his race or blood make absolutely no difference. I heard rumors before our marriage that he had Negro blood in his veins, but he has shown me that he loves me. We are going back to our home together." Both agreed that their differences had resulted from a quarrel about another woman, which had been settled. Dr Nelson was born in Charleston, S C, in 1888, and graduated from Paririe View College, Texas, and in medicine from Meharry Medical College, Nashville, in April, 1911. He entered upon the (Continued on Seventh Page) 16-YR. OLD GIRL SENTENCED FOR HONOR SLAYING Judge Did Not Heed Plea For Clemency From N. C. Governor Leola O'Neill, 16-year old honor slayer, was given an indeterminate sentence to Bedford Reformatory for Women by Judge Allen in General Sessions Court, Thursday, December 19, after entering a plea of guilty to second-degree manslaughter last week. Such widespread interest had been aroused in the case that Governor O. Max Gardner of the State of North Carolina sent a personal letter pleading for clemency for the girl, while Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the Navy, also requested that clemency be shown. George Foster Peabody, prominent philanthropist, was interested to the extent of paying the expenses of Lieut. Lawrence Osley of the State of North Carolina Board of Charities and Public Welfare to the trial Agreed Upon Plea. Counsel for the girl charged that the police used third-degree methods in forcing a confession from the girl, and that during her confinement in prison awaiting trial, she had been placed in a cell with an insane woman.

Hefflin, rabid Negro hater, from the 1930 Democratic primaries, comes word that two prison offi- cials have been dismissed by Governor Graves for brutal treatment of two Negro convicts. The treatment of the convicts was first made public when the Federal Government was sending a group of 100 Negro convicts to Savannah, Ga., to work the roads in Chatham County. When the news was made public about the treatment of the two Negro converts, the daily newspapers of Alabama and particularly the Montgomery Advertiser, gave the matter the utmost publicity and severest indemnation, with the result that Governor Graves has suspended W C Daniel, farm superintendent, and Lee Wilson, dog warden, both of the Kelly Prison staff. killed and forty wounded as was officially announced.

Blood-hounds were put on their trail and soon caught them. Then the purchers forced the two Negroes to climb a small tree and strike at the dogs with sticks in order to anger the animals. When the dogs had become maddened by this treatment, the prison guards forced the two convicts to descend from the tree so that the dogs would attack them. As soon as the men were forced out of the tree, the dogs attacked them and one of the men was bitten in a dozen places. The other man was not bitten despite the guards urging the dogs to bite him. After this brutal treatment the two men were then taken back to prison. Lee Wilson, suspended dog warden, in commenting on the story of the attack, said that they were only following the usual procedure as it "kept the dogs in training."

The note contained a demand for $25,000 ransom. Later it was learned that the kidnapers were in telephonic communication with Miss Leontine Costello of 829 East 46th street, Kelly's alleged sweetheart; demanding the $25,000 ransom, and when told that it was impossible to raise any such sum they reduced their demand to $15,000 and later to $5,000.

Assembly When Assemblymen-elect Lamar ‘Perkins and Francis Rivers take ‘digit seats in the Assembly at Al ‘bany on January Ist, it will be the first time in the history of the stat that the full representation of Har- lem has been colored. It will alse be the frst time that a colored mar has sat in the executive halls of thé Empire State for five years. Mr. Perkins and Mr. Rivers will have the moral support of. a grour of Harlem citizens, headed by Coun- selor Pope R. Rillups, former As- scmblyman from the 2Ist Assembly Distriet; to witness. the inauguration of the two years service of these two gentlemen. Mr. Perkins has a very definite Program mapped out to follow, his first fight being on the redistricting of Harleni so that this section may have its' own judiciary. That is the estabfishment of a new distri in Harlem for the administration of justice. «This will make it” essen- tial for the election of two more judges, who in all probability will be colored: court dlerks, stenogra- hers and attendants. At the same time,’ Me. Perkins will seck new district lines jn order that TYarlem may have a colored senator im the next clections. These things have been fought for by oth- er members of the race sitting in Athany, but a hitter opposition kill ed their plans. Other interests which Mr. Perk: ins will seck to aid are those of the rent payers of Harlem. It is Mt.

Reports of labor advisors of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League indicate that a decrease in industrial employment that is more than seasonal, and greater than periodic decreases noted since 1927, having particularly affected Negro workers in Detroit, Chicago and St. Louis. Because of the general depression in Detroit, due to the cessation of work in the industrial plants, many men who have recently come to the city have returned to their homes. In many cases the transportation of these men was paid by the Department of Public Welfare. The hope is expressed, however, that with the resumption of industrial activity most of the men will return to their jobs. Chicago Situation Acute In Chicago the labor situation is reported as acute, several of the industrial establishments having laid off more than 50% of their forces until January 1, 1930 or later; white male employment has shown a great decline, female workers have had most unsteady employment during the winter. The loss in female employment has been noted chiefly in the apron and smock factories and in the lamp shade industry. The unusual cold weather has brought many cases to the attention of social agen- More than 1,400 men are reported as temporarily out of work in three St. Louis industries. Because of the declining building activities' 250 Negro workers have been dismissed from employment in stone, clay and glass industries. The iron and steel-foundries have laid off 750 unskilled Negro workers; while temporary unemployment exists for 450 men formerly employed in an automobile factory. There is a demand, however, for skilled worker in iron and steel foundries as finishers, core-milkers, masters, cranemen and hammermen. Some of Month's Gains The gains of the month while not extensive, include the employment of a clerk in one of the Dauglass Shoe Company's stores in Chicago and the employment of colored workers, including, a branch manager and collectors, in a laundry; department store, employees in Minneapolis workers with the Mack Truck Company in St. Paul; and 100 women in a new-grape fruit packing plant in Tampa, Fla. In Austin, Tex. it is reported that Negro chauffeurs are again being given the preference in employment after a period during which white chauffeurs replaced them. In San Antonio, Tex., a colored maid has been employed at the city comfort station, while the County Public Health Association has employed a colored visiting nurse. The replacement of. Negro workers with whites continues in Grand Rapids, Mich., where white elevator girls in a department store have supplanted Negro girls; Chicago where Phillipinos have replaced Negroes in a confectionery shop; and orientals are replacing Negroes on How One Woman Lost 20 Pounds of Fat How One Woman Lost 20 Pounds of Fat Lost Her Double Chin Lost Her Prominent Hips Lost Her Stiggishness Gained Physical Vision, Vivification, and a Skipjack Figure 'Thousands of women are getting fat and losing their beauty' just because they do not know what to do.

Movement of Small Groups A continuous movement of small groups of workers is inbred, throughout the South and Mid-west. Richmond, Va., faces such a situation with workers from rural sections of Virginia; miners from West Virginia are entering the Pittsburgh District, the Pittsburgh Coal Company having hired 336 Negroes during the month; Fort Wayne, Indiana, is reported as receiving large numbers of workers from Detroit and Chicago seeking employment; Tampa, Fla., on the other hand, despite the announcement that the Southern Sugar Company will employ 14,000 Negroes on sugar plantations, report that some Negroes are leaving the city. FOUND TO BE NEGRO, CALIFORNIA BROKER LOSES $100,000 LEGACY Special To The-New York Age *Los Angeles, Calif.*-Jack Randolph, former Pasadena, Calif. stock broker, now serving a two-year sentence in the Federal prison at McNeil's Island for using the mails, to de fraud, has been declared to be a Negro and accordingly, will not receive a $100,000 share in the estate of Mrs. May Wheeler - Randolph, his wealthy wife, whom he once was accused of murdering. *On Wednesday, Randolph was deprived of his share of the $200,000 estate by the introduction in a probate hearing in Superior Court of an old California law making it illegal for a Negro, a mulatto or an Indian to marry a white woman Witnesses for Mrs. Wilson Collison, daughter of Mrs. Randolph, who contested Randolph's right to half of the estate, testified he was of Negro descent.

C Negro Trustees Stop Attempted Jail Break In Charleston, S. C Charleston, S. C.—A group of prisoners in the Charleston county jail made an unsuccessful attempt to overcome their jailers and escape here on Friday. The jailer, William J. Bennett, and his assistant, John A. Gleason were injured in the clash with the prisoners. The heroism of Negro trustees, cooks and kitchen helpers, who armed themselves with axes, meat clears and other weapons was responsible for the frustration of the jail break. Besides breaking up the attempted escape, they also saved the jailer and his assistant from serious injury. An 18-year old prisoner, Charles Ivash of Atlanta, Ga., a federal prisoner, awaiting trial for an automobile theft, was said to have been the leader. The break started when Isaac Rogers, a trusty, was attacked on the second floor of the building. Hearing the commotion, Gleason and Bennett went to investigate. When they, reached the scene of the commotion, other prisoners turned upon them. The jail-breakers had reached the first floor and were attempting to gain freedom through the main entrance door when the Negro trestees and helpers met them with their improvised weapons and A This permanent Memorial to Ohio's Colored Soldiers bears the following inscription: "IN MEMORY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE 372nd U.

Other expenditures included $250,000 to University of Chicago clinics; $150,000 to the Massachusetts General Hospital, $250,000 to Howard University, $200,000 to Fisk University, $100,000 each to Morehouse and Spelman Colleges in Atlanta, $50,000 to defray fellowships for advanced study by Negro teachers, physicians and nurses, and $40,000 to the National Committee studying the cost of medical care. The founder of the Rosenwald fund intended that $30,000,000 and all interest, be expected twenty-five years after his death. Baby Born As Mother Boards I. Train, Is Named For The Station Chicago, Ill.—Elevated Adams Wabash Transfer Morris was one Christmas present not delayed by the holiday rush. He arrived, squawling lustily, as his mother, Mrs. Anna Morris, twenty-five, Negro, was about to board an elevated train at the Adams-Wabash station on Friday. Platform guards ran to the aid of the Santa Claus stork and summoned an ambulance. "What's his name going to be?" asked a guard as he assisted the mother and son into the conveyance. Mrs. Morris gazed about in bewilderment until her eyes rested on the station sign. "Elevated Adams Wabash Transfer," she gasped. And so it is on the official records. Banquet To Be Given Dr. Frank S.

I found that I was getting thin, and that my health was not very good. I felt tired and I was not doing my studies being a pleasure, they were a task. It was so trying not to be able to enjoy anything. "I Ank I knew Cardul was a good tonic, I decided to take it. After taking Cardul, I felt so much better and stronger. I was able to join in all the school activities, and really enjoy them. I took three bottles in all, and gladly recommend it to other girls." Boston, Mass.-The Board of Directors of the Greater Boston Federation of Churches has entered a protest against racial discrimination in public conveyances and places of amusement and entertainment, and affirmed the conviction that "there should be no discrimination or exclusion in any public place in Massachusetts because of race or color and no discrimination or exclusion in employment." Churches and their members were urged to use their influence to overcome these inequalities and to secure equal opportunity and service for all. The resolutions in full, which were adopted at a recent meeting, are as follows. "Whereas, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in its Bill of Rights, and in its statute law has sought 'to establish' equality before the law and equal opportunity for all citizens and has prohibited distinction, discrimination, or restriction on account of color or race, relative to public places of amusement, public conveyance, public meeting, or in an inn, and prescribes heavy penalties for violation of the law; and "Whereas, it appears that certain citizens of Boston suffer discrimination or exclusion from certain hotels and other public places, in which there seem to be established rules against persons of certain races; and "Whereas, many worthy citizens of Greater Boston are excluded from employment or suffer discrimination in employment because of race or color; therefore, be it. "Resolved, that the Board of Directors of the Greater Boston Federation of Churches affirm its conviction that there should be no discrimination or exclusion in any public place in Massachusetts because of race or color, nor any violation or evasion of the spirit or letter of the law on that subject, and that there should be no discrimination or exclusion in employment because of race or color. "Resolved, further, that we urge our churches and members of churches, lay and ministerial; to take such action as they can most effectively, and to exercise their influence to secure equal opportunity and equal service in all public places for all persons, regardless of race or color; that the same principle be extended to employment, as far as practicable, and that organized efforts be made in and among our churches to improve conditions in Greater Boston along the lines indicated."

Washington, D. C.-Richard Nugent, the oldest employee of the Supreme Court of the United States, died at his home here on Thursday, December 19. Nugent, a. Negro, was, eighty-one years old and had been with the court for fifty-seven years in various capacities. As a small boy he was employed in the home of the clerk of the court, and later as a messenger at the War Department. In 1872 he was appointed messenger to Justice Ward Hunt and later to Justice Blanchford and Chief Justice White. Eight years ago he became doorkeeper at the main entrance to the court. Dr. W. E. Braswell Dead Atlantic City, N. J.-Dr. William E. ("Buster") Braswell, leading dentist of the city, died Tuesday, December 17, at his late home, 34 North Indiana. He was a member of the well known Braswell family of Macon, Ga., his former home. He was born In 1875, and graduated in dentistry from Mehary Medical College. He practiced for a number of years in his home town, Macon, building up a large and lucrative practice. During those years he married Miss Rhetta Maxwell of Washington, establishing one of the most spacious and finely appointed homes in Macon, where they resided for several years. Some fifteen years ago, the doctor transferred his practice to Atlantic City, and those years duplicated the professional success he attained in the South. He is survived by the widow, Mrs. Etheta Brasswell, three brothers and four sisters. He was a member of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. and the Knights of Pythias. The funeral was held Friday, December 20, from his late residence. ```markdown ``` Boston Federation Of Churches Protests Racial Discrimination POARD SOAR FRESH White, Plains; N, Y.-The Wesle- chester grand jury, on December 19, returned first degree murder indictments against two Negro prisoners at Sing Sing, James Steele, 23, of Harlem, and John Harris, 27, of The Bronx, as result of the stabbing to death on December 1 of Reuben Kaminsky, 17, from Brooklyn. Kaminsky was stabbed while the prisoners were in line returning to their cell blocks from the recreation field, and it was testified to later that he and Steele were enemies since last summer. A search of the prison resulted, it was reported by. Wat- den Laws, in the finding of a knife, in the cell occupied by Harris. Steele was charged with the actu al killing and Harris with obtaining the knife. The first is under sentence of three and a half to seven years for burglary, while Harris is under twenty years to life for manslaughter. They have been transferred to the death house at Sing Sing to await trial on the murder charge. Another Negro prisoner, William Green of Manhattan, as acquitted of complicity. Negro Mine Victims Buried In Oklahoma McAester, Okla.—A long procession, wound through the streets Friday with the bodies of Negro and Mexican victims of the Old Town mine disaster which snuffed out the lives of 61 local coal miners Tuesday. While a priest read the burial service, the caskets were lowered into a trench dug by 50 convicts from the Oklahoma State Penitentiary. Stores were closed and the town joined the bereaved miners' relatives in their mourning. Two miners, a Mexican and a Negro are still missing, their bodies not having been recovered as yet. A continued search will be made, when the mine is again entered for an investigation of the cause of the explosion. One of the colored miners was buried in a new overcoat as a shroud. His aged mother had bought it for him as a Christmast present. A committee was distributing relief funds to destitute families. More than $12,000 had been received.

Heflin of Alabama i: i tliteateried “with rejection as a candidat fer reelection by the action of the Demo eratic Executive committee of his ows “(etate,,in, prohibiting him from running or the’ Democratic ticket in 1930, The rea- 80n for this actiun is to punish Heflin jand those other Democrats who bolted Che ‘regular ticket,-by opposing Governor Alfred E. Smith when he ran for Presi ‘dent, It-is announced, However, that “Heflin ‘will’ min as an independent Demo- “erat and he: insists that he will return to the Senate, It has been suggested that the Repub: Ticans might endorse Heflin for reelec- ‘tion as Senator, although it is said that he would never allow himself to be stamped as a Republican, Yet, it is like- “ly that he would not reject support from any, source that would help to keep him .in the Senate: ‘Whether it would be goo ) policy ‘for Republicans to adopt so notori= ou’ ‘x character as Heflin, éven with the hopé of provoking a split in the solid Democratic South, is doubtful. At any rate, it is expected that Republicans will not nominate any candidate of their own, thus giving Heflin a clear field, Senator Heflin has been the exponent of the biterest kind of intolerance, both racial and religious, that the South has had in the Senate. He has. repeatedly outraged the sense of decency of that body by his demagogic tirades directed against the Catholic church and the Ne- gro race. He has been an untiring ad- vocate of the teachings of the Kw Klux Klan,-and will doubtless retain what, sup- "port’the knights of the sheet and pillow case can muster. He owed much of his strength’ to his church ahd fraternal so- “ciety connections, and will undoubtedly seek to utilize these next year. The opposition to Heflin among the regular Democrats consists of the follow- ers of the late Senator Underwood, who was opposed by the klan, and others of “the more enlightened voters of the state. On the other hand, there were some 120,- 000 votes recorded “for Hoover in the presidential election in Alabama, as against 127,000 for Smith, As the Re- publiean vote in Alabama is a negligible sonny at best, it will be seen that the Heflin followers constitute a factor to be corisidéred. ‘Still’ to have Heflin come back to the Senate with the help of Ala- bama Republicans, would be a high price to pay for driving 2 new wedge into the Democracy of the South. The adoption of Heflin as a Republican would be too great a desecration of party principles, if there are any left. TO FIGHT ILLITERACY.

This omis- sion appears to have been noted by the executive, committee and at a meeting in Washington a general advisory commit- tee was named, which included among its members Benjamin E. Hubert, president of the Georgia State Industrial College, representing the Negrovs of the United States, ‘The program adopted at this Washing- ton meeting provided for the establish- ment of a network of state illiteracy coms mittees all over the country, -so as to give the five million illiterates listed in the 1930 census a chance to learn to read be- fore they are counted again next year. The Director of the’Census was asked to haxe the enumerators take the name and address ‘of “Every” iMiterate encountered in 1930. It was found that no Federal funds were available for the committee's ini- tial undertaking, but that little omission was remedied by their heing able to draw on a contribution made by Julius Rosen- wald of Chicago for a five-year national crusade, This step was accomplished through a decision by the crusade officers to merge their budget and plans with the commit- jee's program, inorder, to permit it to xo thead, As Senator Henry J.

Fied ‘out! fairly. and squarely, without ré- striction’as to race or color. One ‘reason for. much .of, the illiteracy among both races in the South is the inadequate pro- ‘Vision’ ade’ by the states for elementary ‘education, In ‘some of these states pov- erty is pleaded in extenuation of this neg- Ject, but a well-known Southern etiucator not long. ago dismissed that plea as 2 ‘mefe , subterfuge, Other states which make, fair provision for the education of white children, stint the facilities for col ored to, the lowest point possible, Even the funds appropriated by the Federal government to assist the states are not apportioned fairly between the two races. This movement to wipe out illiteracy should know no color line, if it is to be prosecuted with honesty and fairness. oe ae og Sa aes sea ores Go legro.: fakmies iin cremotey rural Watnct Where’ ia" Rater prosteriey do soften forma -cause for, ‘tolestation: iby: envious whites,.so that he'may- be forced’to' aban: don: his trind add :property.': dns eertalp sections it is not: safé for a’ black’ farmer torbe too guccedsfiil;in his’operations: ; NEED FOR. MORTGAGE COMPANY. Among the needs: specified for: Harlem and its colored ‘population, by thosé:who are familiar with the housing: sittiation and economic conditions, is financial organization, formed. for the. purpose. of making mortgage loans on. real estate. The object of the borrower: might'be eith- er to buy a.home:-or to: purcliase property for investment purposes and ‘rent the apartments out to individual tenants. Of ‘course, there are already a number of or- ganizations fulfilling those functions but buyers and ownérs of Harlem property, especially if they are colored complain of the increasing difficulty in securing such loans and the high cost in the shape of extra bonuses exacted, Qne reason advanced for the difficulty experienced by those seeking small loans, regardless of the location of the: popefty ‘or the color of the applicant, is the fact that according to one real estate authority it does not pay to make 2 mortgage, toa of three thousand dollars or less, because of the high cost of foreclosure proceed- ing in a case of failure to pay interest o principal. Another authority on mort- gage loans insisted that mortgages for ten thousand dollars or less should be made for ten to fifteen-year periods with small amortization payments, that is, in- stalments to"apply on the principal. This latter authority ddvocated the payment ‘of a bonus by the borrower, without any ground for the charge of us ury, the amount to increase with the du- fation of the mortgage. He says, ‘if this was permitted new methods of finanéing would’ be found at once and long term mortgages would be possible As it is at present, most mortgages are made for a short term of one to three years, aid when, renewed a bonus is exacted in some form that will get-around the law. It has’ been suggested that bills be prepared to be submitted to the Legislature at Al- bany, one relating to the charges that may be made for mortgage money and afiother to make foreclosure proceedings cheaper and more speedy after default in payments. ° ‘These demands on the part of otgani- zations furnishing funds for mortgage in- vestments show some of the causes which have contributed to make borrowing dif- ficult and expensive. At that there have been cases where the bonuses demanded from insistent borrowers have been ex- cessive for the amount loaned. A mortgage company, organized along conservative lines to furnish funds for the purchase of properties .in Harlem, should prove a paying investment for the stockhodlers and fill the need of many borrowers, who now find difficulty in securing new loans or having old ones extefideds ; PLAIN TALK FOR FARMERS, As has been pointed out in The Ag from time to time, there has been grave doubt as to the possibility of any relie for the Negro farmers of the South be ing derived through the working ‘of gov: ernmental agencies, This is due mostly if not entirely, to the anomalous positior of this class of farmers who find them, selv€ cut off, from the benefits of any cooperative plan designed for the farmers of that section, In last Sunday's World, Lesetr A, Walton gave an interesting ac- count of a feasible method arrived at by the Federal Farm Board, to secure for the Negro farmers the aid provided for in the Agricultural Marketing act. ‘This method of operation was made known to the farmers in a plain and prac- tical talk made by James C. Stone, vice chairman of thé“board, at the annual Ne gro Farmers’ conference founded by Booker T. Washington and held at Tus- kegee Institute early in December. Some fifteen hundred farmers of, the race, gath- ered from nine’ Southern - states, were present and listened to tle vice chair- man’s views on what was the matter with agriculture. He was emphatic in declar- Jing that the fundamental defects-in’ the agricultural condition cannot be cured by foney, but must be mended by the de- sire on the part of the farmer for a bet- ter system of merchandising his products. In defining the-best way for the col- ored farmers to take advantage ‘of the Agricultural Marketing act, he told them: | “You want unit organizations run by you which ‘will affiliate with the ones already op erating. Yo uhave men who can form these nits in your sohols and in. agricultural ex: fension work. “Any member of the unit who swants information” ean” go "directly to his Chairman and ask him to get thejnformation from the big organization. * “Do not try to. develop your own selling’ ma— chinery, but make use of the machinery” al- ready Set up. Have your own officers, vour len meetings, study your ovn problems, have Your ‘own veoitacts and go to the asociation 5nd get all. the information you. want. = “The Farm Board canigt organize you. Tf you are satistied with wat you have You are oing to keep it. It you afe not, you must fet together and sit down and figure out what fou want and then ty to get eam here 6 tell you that the Farm Board is just as ‘uch interested: in the welfare of the colored Bemer as it is in the white farmer, You are all farmers and we are going to do for you 4s much as We are for anybody-else. You all Took alike to us. But we cannot do. anything Unles you ‘help yourselves, and you ‘cannot cee in these co-operative organizations un- lag. vou believe in what you are trying to do, “the. Government of the. United States stands ready to hivance your business 40. you Gan give it the proper eare, and ie is tevin, to. work out a system whereby every farmer will have. acess. to. money. at A fair. rate of interest, The Farm Board is ens, to do its part. We are asking you to do sours.” That sounds as if the Federal Farm Board has at last realized the necessity of including the Negro fatmers én any sclieme of relief designed to benefit the farming industry as a whole. Credit is giv- en to Dr. RR. Moton, principal of Tuske- gee Institute for arousing the sympathetic interest of President Hoover and the mem- bers of the Farm Board in the plight of tha Negro farmers of the South, who were denied any part én workings of the state and county organizations, with only white membership. As the Negro farm- ers are credited with raising forty per cent of the agricultural products of the South, it will be seen that they constitute an important agricultural factor. ‘The extension of the Denefits available under, the operation of the Agricultural Marketing act to this large group of pro- lucers should largely affect the economic advancement of the race, It is estimated hat notwithstanding the influx of black vorkers to the cities, there still remain seventy per cent, of the race in the rural listricts where they constitute a power f production, that should be reckoned vith én all attempts to help the farmers, Yow long the younger element among, hem can be induced to remain on the arms depends largely on tue inducements arming-can hold out in’ material returns FOR POLICE ATTENTION. ‘One of the things that seems to demand the attention of the police is the indis- criminate sale of knives to boys of all ages, by shopkeepers in all arts of the city. This does not apply to the ordinary style of penknife or jackknife, used - for whittling or even to the boy scout’s knife, with its assortment of blades for various uses. The knives whose indiscriminate sale constitutes a menace to the public peace are In fact dangerous weapons, as hhas been shown by the growing frequency of stabbing affrays, an which the long blades of four inches or more have in- flicted seridus wounds. Whether the possession of one of these murderous weapons would come under the penalties of the Sullivan law we do not know, but it would seem that it cont stitutes as deadly a weapon at élose quar- ters as any firearm. The sale of such knives, with blades of inordinate length, to reckless boys in their teens, is virtual- ly arming theme with a weapon which may be used at times with dangerous, effect. The fact that these knives can be bought for a dollar or less accounts for their be- ing in the hands of so many youngsters who donot hesitate to use them for at- tack. . <8 Another matter for consideration of the police authorities is the need of strength- ening the force by increasing the num- ber of policewomen, There is need for throwing greater protection around the persons of girls and young women in cer tain sections of the city, where attacks upon them have grown in frequency, There are now about one hundred: and twenty-five policewomen on the force, but two of whom are colored. The total could be increased with advantage, and some of the new appointments should be solored women properly qualified to per- ee acted manic sins Ron urea Re “HERS palles have’ doe’ good | weapons’ lov one of hems m Wap Face Ab apfabind. | Mditlghal leghafAtan last tg he Gari: i ces [ SL cove Ha of wad wept oe) she, ee miembéte “of “several hold-up iew, ‘Tho apnointment.of, genga:< There'ate always new] ditional “policewomen jp’-wil fields opening for their ‘activic| inthe.’ powers. of . the’ cl tics in the’ prevention of crime, | authorities, ate pooresshong—ecpcrseree-overatoore-meererrenanen a - , 4 " 2 THE AGE READER'S.

SSE See aeeeaee was delivered at the morning hour jof worship at Siloam, Dr. George Shippen Stark, pastor. Taking his text from St. Luke 2:11, the pastor emphasized as the great idea -that a Saviour is born rather than that of a church festival or observance as the irue significance of Christ- mas, The coming of Christ into the world is to be measured by His accomplishments and His conquests ow and then, He came to give the world the gift of His Spirit. ‘Man lives in his spirit, we are body and spirit, the kind of a man is shown in his spirit. If Ghrist dwells in man he has the Spirit of Christ, that of love, truth, service, helpfulness. The indwelling of Christ in man is the Christmas spirit. The progress made in the hearts of men is a measure of the Christmas gift and spirit. The church 3s the body of all saved ones whether of the long “years ago, to- day or of the future, it is the spirit of Christ in the hearts of those who are members in His church. The spizit of Christ is seen in great movements of the world today out- side of the church, The church to- day must come up to his measure ‘and save the world foc Christ if it does not want to slip back, The supreme message of the Christmas is to merease its power through God in Christ coming very near to man,. God in Christ wants to save man, to have the indwelling of Christ through His Holy’ Spirit in us is the mesage of the Christmas. The choir under direction of Witham A. White, organist, with Donald K. Taylor, viofinist, and Miss Anna M. Sutton, df prano as- sisting, and Mrs. Edith “M. Cody, church soloist, rendered the music at this hour.

From this marvelous collection of primitive African sculpture, one sees a di- rect influence on modern art. Many of the most distinguished of the modern artists have evidently drawn their characters from these primitive sculptures.

SECRETARIAL SCHOOL 261 West 125th Street, N. ¥.C, oS Sathaineen Cassone nee a Seana on mean aad ey Bas Se, Te ie et eee se By Cleve L. Abbott Tuskegee, Ala.—Nowhere in America does there exist a more-healthy interest in football than among the colored schools of the South, where the first game was played January 14, 1894, between Tuskegee and Atlanta University at Atlanta, Ga. Atlanta University won this game 10 to 0. This year, the high standard of play was maintained, although a few "dearest enemy" games were not played because of a split in the Southern Conference. The crowds were larger than in previous years, and seemed satisfied and pleased with the conduct of the games. Featured by the defeat of Wilberforce by Tuskegee, 6 to 0, at Soldier Field, Chicago, in one of the most bitterly fought and interesting struggles ever played in the middle west, the crushing of Blue field 34 to 0, and the overwhelming victory of Pisk over Howard 32 to 0, southern colored football of 1929 can well be said to have had its best year. To quote from the Birmingham, Ala. Daily News of December 5, 1929, "In connection with the success of Tuskegee, it might be well to mention the rise of Colored football throughout the country. It has been remarkable. It is very easy to remember a few years back when such a thing as a colored official was out of the question, only white officials being used. But as the atlet spirit has grown, the value of sports to colored schools and colleges has shown itself with the result that colored schools have had their representatives study the game, and now it is possible to place within the capable colored officials an improvement can be seen in the colored teams alike, taking the game seriously and are playing smart, imminent football. The Golden Trophy in Tuskegee as a result of the victory over Wilberforce and at Ulinehead 34 to 0, defeats all other opponents entitled to the Nation-Championship. Tuskegee won its struggles in a clear cut and decisive manner. The Troops opened their schedule by taking A. & F. Collins of North Carolina to camp 21 to 0. It was a butterfly tough contest, but Tuskegee proved the stronger. On the following Friday, Tuskegee won from the 24th Infantry 24 to 7, and then learned to Birmingham whose Clark was defeated 21 to 0 at Lerion Field. The next Saturday Tuskegee met Wilberforce at Soldiers Field, Chicago, before 25,000 fans, the largest crowd to ever witness a colored football game. This chase will live long in the memories of those who witnessed this bitter nerve-wrecking game. In the first half Wilberforce clearly outplayed Tuskegee and hit the ball three different times within the Tigers five-yard mark, but lacked the punch to put it over. It was a rapier stab of a forward pass from Harrison to Stevenson that won the game in the last few moments of play. Tuskegee next defeated Milts Memorial, Morris Brown, and her guests final Alabama State in orde d. The next game was with Bluefield, the 1928 national champions, on T.anksgiving Day at Tuskegee. The Golden Tigers rage and storm into the Alumni Bowl and the Big Blues were completely unsevered. . York Has Good Record. Lark was a very powerful team, just about the best which has worn the Gold and Blue since 1923. The many blots on their record was the 1922 defeat at the hands of Waltriores in October. Pisk still has not or intersection game to play against Prairie View State College on Sears Day. There has been one change in the marching队. W. H. (Chief) Lark is now major head mentor for the visiting University, football team, this year been assisting Head Coach, Henderson "Tubby" Johnson. The Bulldogs, however, showed their power in other games. Knoxville College was defeated 26. Talladega bowed to Pisk 19. Morehead 7-0 to Lain Colt, and on Hammagaskar Coach Sam Taylor had another fine team at Clark, losing only to Tuskegee and to Wilberforce in an intersectional game played at Wilberforce, Ohio, on a very muddy field. The Clark backs could not hold their footing on this day, and the Panther was defeated 33 to 7. The Tuskegee game at Birmingham was a very hard fought affair. Although defeated 21 to 0 the Clark team fought a great uphill struggle. Benedict was defeated 13 to 0. Tree 24th Infantry 9 to 0. South Carolina State College 9 to 0. Miles Memorial 48 to 0. Alabama Teachers College 14 to 2 and the Morris Brown Wolterines were taken into camp on Thanksgiving Day 19 to 0. Talladega's Season. Under the guidance of Wright and Talbot, the new coaching regime at Talladega, the lornado had a very sucessful season. Although many of the traditional games were missing from this year's schedule. Of the schedule played, Fisk was the only team to defeat Talladega, 19 to 6. The former blew over South Carolina State 13 to 0. Knoxville College 12 to 0. Alabama A. & M 24 to 0 and closed the season at Legion Field, Birmingham, with a 7 to 6 defeat of Morehouse College. G. T. ("Country" Lewis, who had charge of the Alabama State Teacher, College eleven for the first time had an up-and-down performer. Starting the season by holding the strong 24th U. S. Infantry to 0 to 0 score, the Hornets gave promise of developing into a powerful Southern contender. Morris Brown was defeated 2 to 0, and the powerful Langston team earned a draw in the last minute of play at Legion Field, Birmingham, when they pulled the layout play and completed a pass, for a touchdown. The final score was 13 to 13. A hard fought game was lost to Clark in the Memorial Stadium, Columbus, Ga. 14 to 2. Going into the Annual Tuskegee game at Cramton Bowl with high hopes, the Hornets were turned back 20 to 0 after the usual fierce play that always characterizes these games. Alabama State won from Selma University and closed the season by defeating Miles Memorial College. Thanksgiving Day at Birmingham. Roy Vaughan, a recent Colgate star had charge of football at Morehouse College. The team started out in whirl-wind fashion winning an intercultural game from Howard 19 to 0 at Atlanta, defeated Knoxville College 12 to 0 then lost a bitters decision to Fisk, 7 to 0. Next Benedict College was beaten 13 to 7, Langston caught the Maroon Tigers in the dumps and defeated them 34 to 0. The season was closed by losing a hair line decision to Talladega College, 7 to 0 Morris Brown coached by Dr. D. H. Canady could not get going despite the brilliant promise at the start of the season. The purple Wolkeres lost to the 24: U. S. Infantry 0 to 0, Alabama State took a 2 to 0 decision, Tennessee State 0 to 0, Miles Memorial was defeated 20 to 0. Their best game was against the Tuskegee Brown. In this struggle Morris Brown scored three touchdowns and forced the Golden Tigers to the limits to win 32 to 19. Florida A & M was defeated 24 to 0. The Thanksgiving Dav game was lost to the greatly improved Clark team 19 to 0. The closing game was lost to Edward Water at Jacksonville 0 to 0. Florida A and M College under a new coach, McKinley King, former Huntington, and with strong strings, but were unable to cope with the strong, toughs of the conference. The rattle snake, hot to Four Negroes Among Champions For 1929 Four Negroes are listed among the champions and leaders of all branches of sport for the year 1929. Al Brown of Panama is the world's bantamweight champion and his nearest contender in this class is Kid Chocolate, also colored, of Havanna, Cuba. The other three colored champions are leaders of the cinder path. Gus Moore of the University of Pittsburgh, and a resident of Brooklyn, is the National A. A. U. cross-country champion. Eddie Tolan of the University of Michigan holds two championships—the national outdoor A. A. U. 100 yard and 220 yard titles. Phil Edwards of New York University is the national 880 yard outdoor champion and also has the 600 yard indoor title. In addition he has several titles in the Intercollegiate Athletic Association, composed of the leading colleges of the country. Generally considered the Negro athletes more than held his own in competition during 1929. George Gregory Stars As Columbia Five Defeats Harvard George Gregory, last season's star center on the Columbia University basketball team, who is playing forward this season, was the high scorer for his team Saturday night, December 21, when Harvard was defeated by a score of 44-17. It was the first defeat of the season for Harvard, who had previously won three games. Gregory scored five field goals and two fouls. Columbia's defense was so air-tight that Harvard was forced to take its shots from beyond the 15-foot mark. The Morningside team displayed its best offense of the season and has excellent championship possibilities. Gregory is the first colored member of the varsity basketball team since the days of Johnny Johnson, five years ago. Bordentown Five Wins Two Out of Three Games Bordentown, N. J.—In three opening skirmish engagements preceding Christmas holidays, the varsity basketball team of U. Bordentown School garnered two victories and received one defeat. Two fast games against the rejuvenated Trenton Elks were divided between the two teams. Bordentown received the second and third Trenton the second-11-26. The third contest was played on the Ironsides Court at Bordentown against the Dunbar A. C. of Moristown, the outfit representing the colored community center of the North Jersey town. In a game replete with good shooting and fast pass work by both teams, the Ironsides again won. 37-19. The regular season which opens after the holidays includes some attractive games with Lincoln Alpha Phi Alpha, Johnson C. Smith University, Howard Freshmen, Armstrong, Douglass and Howard High Schools, C'eyney Normal School and several outstanding Y. M. C. A. and Cluette High Schools. In spite of the loss by graduation of the two "sharpshooters" of last year's creek team, Coaches Granger and Ray have three last year's regulars and a wealth of new material to take the places of Russ and Hamilton Sam Spruel, in his fourth year as a varsity player, to re-elected captain, white Hilton at center and Doman at currd are showing all of their last year's form, Vesels, Bill Green Murphy and Blount are four lanky six-footers who will make it possible for the Jersey school to maintain its tradition of six foot teams. (Heavys is also showing well and should work into the regular line-up before the season is over. Alabama State 0 to 0, Morris Brown 24 to 0 and Tuskegee 52 to 0. Tennessee State although playing a limited schedule gave promise for the future. Lane was played to a 0 to 1 tie. Morris Brown was defeated to 0, Miles Memorial also lost to the "Stater." The final game was dropped to U.S. Fisk Bulldogs 20 to 0. Miles Memorial, because of limited material and early season mishaps did not show as well as in former years. All games scheduled were lost Knoxville College, coached for the second year by Wallace Hawkins, had the weakest team in several years. The Bishops just could not hit a winning streak. Defeats were suffered at the hands of Fisks Tell, I and Meehouse.

Vitaphone's latest talking picture, which will be seen at the New Douglas Theatre this Saturday to Tuesday, December 28-31. The beautiful Dolores Costello is cast as a young and innocent school girl and is her usual charming self in the part. While on the beach one day she is "picked up" by a young sailor, and in her first moral ristep is discovered intoxicated, on board a rum-running ship where she has blundered in search of companionship. Of course she is expelled from school, and going to the city in search of her mother, she is stunned to learn that her mother is the owner of a low "dive" and is connected with the most retarded bootleggers and racketers in the business! The story of the strange events that follow the revelation are told in a most gripping manner in "The Madonna of Ave. A, Saturday to Tuesday, December 28-31 at the New Douglas Theatre As the opening "gun" in January, Jubilee Month" the patrons of the New Douglas Theatre will have the opportunity of viewing Greta Cohen, the bassist and matinee artist. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Janu-1-2-3 Two thousand children were entertained by the Alhambra Theatre at its annual Christmas morning free show with a juvenile program of acts and motion pictures. Toys, candy and fruits were distributed by the Colonial and North Harlem Community Councils. At The Alhambra Theatre "Christmas Pudding" is this week's fun-feast at the Alhambra Theatre. It is stuffed with all sorts of good things. It starts with "Diga Diga Do," that haunting orgy of wild dance and song done in remarkable feathered costumes. Manda Randolph sings it, and Mary Clemons loads the girls in the wild dance. Shelton Brooks, Dusty Fletcher and Billy Crumble are right on the job with comedy, supported by Monte Hawley, Ted Blackmon and others. Tillie Marshall has some pretty songs, and "Lanky Jim" Lancaster now has a partner in his clowning dances, one Francis Jacobs "Little Orphan," the comedy drama, is the romance of a modern Cindellela. Artie Cain is a neglected orphan girl who, after many adventures and much cruel treatment on the farm where she is the family drudge, has an unexpected-turn of good luck, and wins her "Prince Charming." "Thomas Moseley is the farmer Bessie Wrightson is his cruel wife, and Bebe Townsend is their daughter Monte Hawley is a swell from New York and Al F. Watts is an ex-convict. The feature picture of the triple program is the first showing uptown of "The Heroic Lover" in which Stuart Holmes and Barbara Bedford have made their greatest success. The Wednesday midnight show will be popular for Christmas parties. Next Week's Show Clara Smith, the great record star, will breeze into the Alhambra next week and start the happy new year with "Hello, 1930." Wherever Clara Smith goes there is joy and laughter. She is famous for her overflowing good nature as well as her gifts as a singer, and surrounding her will be a merry cast. By contrast, the drama will be of a serious kind "The Line Up", said to be the best of police plays. It shows in a daring manner the inside workings and the brutality with which innocent persons have sometimes been filmedoad even to the electric chair On New Year's live there will be an extra special midnight show to greet the incoming year. All seats are reserved and on sale at the regular midnight prices. Also the regular Wednesday midnight show will be given on New Year's night. The label on your paper gives date of expiration.

Talkies At The Odeon The Odeon Theatre is the latest of Harlem's motion picture theatres to be equipped for talking pictures. By the same token, it promises to be the best talking picture theatre in Harlem, for the expensive and complicated apparatus which has just been installed is absolutely the last word in talking equipment. The Odeon will celebrate the installation of this equipment by presenting what are undoubtedly the greatest talking pictures. This, of course, includes the singing and dancing, musical and dramatic spectacles, which are finding such favor with motion picture audiences throughout the country. For the three days' beginning Wednesday (Christmas Day) the Odeon will present the world's greatest entertainer—Al Jolson—in his latest Vitaphone sensation "Say It With Songs." This talking, sing- ing and dancing masterpiece presents the inimitable Al Jolson at his very best—and so where in the world is there a man who can bring a quicker tear or a heartier laugh. Little Davey Lee, the famous "Sonny Boy" of the "The Singing Pool" shares, honors with Al Jolson in "Say It With Songs." On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, December 28, 29 and 30, the Odeon will present another great picture. far different from "Say It With Songs" and yet one which has startled, gripped and mystified all who saw it during its run on Broadway. This is "The Unholy Night," one of the strangest, weirdest and most fascinating of mystery melodramas. Following these pictures, the Odeon will present the best of all-talking pictures and guarantees to its patrons the very finest of motion picture programs. At The Lafayette Theatre True to the promise contained in its "advance notices," the stage and screen shows being presented at the Lafayette Theatre this week are of the kind to make the uletide happier for all who see the program. Freddie Johnson and Dewey Wemglass collaborated to produce the stage show, which is entitled "Harlem After Dark." Sandy Burns, who has just closed a long engagement as the chief comedian of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds," is the chief funster of this show, ably assisted by funny little Freddie Robinson. The work of these two and the situations which they develop keeps the audience in constant laughter. The dancing part of Harlem After Dark is quite as good as the comedy. A trio of boys new to Harlem—the three Rythm Kings—head the group of dancers. The reception which these boys received at the opening performance on Saturday kept them on the stage until they were exhausted, responding to encores. The pretty McLann Sisters, Theresa Mason, and an exceptionally attractive chorus rendered most of the unusually snappy dances. There was also a very fine team of white adagio dancers. The singing was taken care of by Freddie Johnson, his well-known partner Lomax, who possesses one of the finest tenor voices on the stage, Kitty Brown and Luella Wilson, a new comer to the Harlem stage, who received a gratifying reception at the hands of the audience. All of these elements in the show were put together in a pleasing and masterful manner, with specially written and very sweet music. The result was a most delightful entertainment. The photoplay portion of the program includes "The Great Gabbo," an all-talking, singing, dancing, dramatic spectacle, starring Eric Von Stroheim and Betty Compson. The Whitman Sisters Next Week. Once a year, the famous Whitman Sisters bring their new annual revue to New York. Their coming is an event in the theatrical history of Harlem, always anxiously awaited by thousands of patrons, who know that when they see the new Whitman Sisters show, they are certain of a rare theatrical treat. The Whitman Sisters and their company finished their tour of the country last week and have since been in the city working hard to beautify, embellish and augment the show for their greatest appearance at the Lafayette Theatre, for the week beginning Saturday. With the exception of the well-known sisters and Princess Wee Wee, this year's show is not only entirely new in every respect but is the most gor- gacious, most elaborate, the fastest show which the Whitman sisters have ever created. They will only stay at the Lafayette Theatre for one week, before a return trip over the largest theatres of the middle and far West. A splendid photoplay program will be presented at the Lafayette Louisiana meet next week, with the Whitman Sisters' show.

Salvation Army Ensemble Gives Concert In Harlem The Metropolitan Ensemble, an aggregation connected with the Salvation Army of New York, under leadership of Brigadier W. Alex Ebbs, composed of an interesting group of instrumentalists, was presented in concert on Wednesday night, December 18, at the Harriet Beecher Stowe Junior High School Auditorium, 135th street, and Edgecombe avenue, in Interest of the Harlem branch of the Salvation Army, which is directed by Adjutant Bailey. Alderman Fred R. Moore introduced Brigadier Ebbs as chairman of the evening and took advantage of the opportunity to point out to the divisional commander some of the essentials for the successful working of the Salvation Army in Harlem. In reply, Brigadier Ebbs promised to do his best for the people of this community. Despite the inclement weather the attendance was good, and the Ensemble, conducted by Erik Leidsen, metropolitan divisional bandmaster, played with efficiency, pleasing all who were present. Adjutant Bailey expressed his gratification for the service rendered by Alderman Moore, Brigadier Ebbs and the Ensemble. Abbie Mitchell Sings At Talladega College Falladega, Ala.-Abbie Mitchell, whose profound interpretation of the classics, has long had the approval of scholarly musicians, gathered to her bosom the entire audience, students and faculty able, in an hour of such rapturous singing as was never before heard in DeForest Chapel. She sang here. Friday night, December 20. With Miss Mitchell singing is not simply an accomplishment, though she has the most consummate skill; it is not merely elegance or power or even beauty, but the use of these to bring to the hearer those subtle commentaries or exposes of life which come to a few of us in moments of deep spiritual insight but which to her are the sine qua non of her art. The program of the evening attests her, versatility. The sterling worth of her musicianship is attested by all who come within the range of her voice. Tourgee DeBose, head of the Department of Music, played the accompaniments for Miss Mitchell with great skill, taste and understanding; thereby lending invaluable assistance. Her program was as follows: I. O Wusst Ich, Doch Den ... Weg Zuruck ... Brahms Von Ewiger Liebe ... Brahms Aus Meinen Grossen ... Schmerzen ... Franz Der Erlkonig ... Schubert II.

Paul Robeson Sings As His Old Home Town By I. D. CARR. by J. D. Princein, N. J.—Paul Robeson, baritone, returned to his home town of Pinceton Monday evening. December 16, for a resitual of Negro folk music. The concert was given in Alexander Hall on the Princeton University campus, and the proceeds went to the fund being raised to install an organ at the Mt. Pisgah A. M. E. Church, of which Robeson's father was at one time the minister. The concert was arranged by Mrs. Christine Moore Howell. Many prominent Princeton women acted as patronesses. Alexander Hall was crowded for the recital, and the ovation which was accorded Robeson was most sensational. As he finished his concert, the applause continued until he had given encore after encore. Shouts of "bravo" and the stamping of feet by university students who adopt "this" method of showing greetion, greeted the singing. The program opened with piano numbers by Justin Sandridge, pianist, who played a group of Chopin numbers. Later in the program, Mr. Sandridge rendered some modern selections. Mr. Robeson was accompanied at the piano by Lawrence Brown. MUSIC NOTES Mme.

ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM To all my readers allow me to offer the old, yet ever new wish, a Merry Xmas. The 1929 election of Local 802, covering candidates for office for the coming 1930, has been completed. It started a new era of Negro musicians, as it was the first time in the history of this local that colored musicians have been nominated for office. Of course, all the candidates, as predicted in this column, failed to register enough votes to elect them for office but the effort was made and the Negro candidates made quite a creditable showing. Bert Hall, nominee for the Trial Board, secured 326 votes; Fred Simpson, for the same position, received 289 votes, and Harrison S. Jackson tallied 121 votes for the Governing Board. Nine men were to be elected for the Trial Board. The lowest of the nine qualified with 536 votes. Figuring from this last elected musician, we gather that 211 more votes would have nominated Bert. Were they available from the colored musicians? We don't know. It developed from reliable sources that a musician is a musician, as far as Local 802 is concerned, and the local could not tell the roster of colored musicians. For Mr. Harrison S. Jackson, we have this to record: his attitude in the election seems indefensible. Granted he was peeved at not having his name mentioned in the "Rhythm News," Bert's pamphlet. Ample antends were made when he and Simpson were invited to appear at the meeting of the Rhythm Club a few days before the election. He failed to materialize on election day at union headquarters. No one can recall having seen him. So, apparently, he did not vote for himself. Hall and Simpson, or their emissaries, were stationed near the approach to the hall all day, handing out their name-inscribed cards to all comers. Where was Jackson or his emissaries? Why should Mr. Jackson develop this inferiority compa? His attitude seems indefensible. If he was sick, surely he has some friends who would have so stated. This column senses the situation perhaps acutely because it was here that the Rhythm News was condemned for not mentioning the names of Messrs. Jackson and Simpson. We have not had intercourse with Mr. Jackson in any way for upwards of two years. Mr. Jackson, do you not think that those musicians, 150 of whom signed your nomination blanks, and the 121 who voted for you, are entitled to some explanation of your peculiar conduct? Here is a sidelight of the election Four of us were coming down the stairs after voting. Passing a white musicians on the long and broad stairs, he remarked, "Well, boys, no matter how you voted. I wish you a Merry Christmas." Let us assume he was a candidate looking for a next year vote. It was still a gesture of friendliness which he was not bound to express.

Leaving his office in his well-appointed car, Lucky instructed his chauffeur to drive to the ultra fashionable Sutton Place; a stop for a moment at the residence of a millionaire of that district, then home to eat and change to Tucedo; then on to Greenwich, Conn, with an orchestra to entertain a patron. Lucky had a date in Chicago for a single night's work last week. Tickets and reservations were obtained. Then came a customer who could not be denied for an afternoon job. To accommodate this notable, Lucky sent his musicians on to Chicago, but clanged his own reservation to an evening train. This enabled him to reach Chicago a few hours behind his band, rush to a taxi, and reach his destination in time to start festivities for the $400,000,000 corporation which had assumed this huge expense—railroad fare, and hotel accommodations, plus the wage of nine men. Lucky is busy, very busy, and among a class of patrons whose business has shown signs of slipping away from race musicians since the advent of Paul Whiteman, et al. in the dance field. Long may he be spared to continue that contact which reflects not only to the race musicians, but to the well-being of others of us in other walks of life. N. J. State Senator Calls Leasing Of Federal Prisoners Form of Slavery Trenton, N. J.-State Senator Alexander Simpson, Democrat, of Hudson, has asked Mrs. Mary T. Norton, member of Congress from this State, to protest against the action of the Federal Government, as announced in the newspapers, in leasing colored inmates of Federal institutions to road contractors. "This is slavery under the lash," said the Simpson letter to Mrs. Norton. "It seems incredible that over fifty years after the end of the Civil War, which was fought to demolish human slavery, that the Federal Government should be engaged in what is practically the same thing, in selling these unfortunate people of the colored race who are held in prisons. In New Orleans they show you the ruins of an old slave market, where human beings were kept confined like animals, to be put on the auction block for sale. If the Federal Government continues the infamous practice, which I refer to of practically selling the enforced labor of colored people to contractors, especially that part of the country where this is done—that is, in the Southern States, where the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, formed into that document by the hayonets of the North for the protection of the colored people—is a dead letter, slavery is back again." Simpson told Mrs. Norton that not only is the action on the prisoners a hardship, but it reflects upon the honest and law-abiding colored people throughout the land. Hawaiian School Head At Tuskegee Institute Tuskegee Institute, Ala —Vjsiting Tuskegee Institute over the weekend was Dr. E. Midkiff, president of the Kamehameha schools of Honolulu, Hawaii, who addressed the student body in the institute chapel telling something of the history of the islands and of the customs of the people. It was in Hawaii, Dr. Midkiff said, that General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, founder of Hampton Institute was born. And it was there that he received his first impression of vocational education which he later introduced into the curriculum of Hampton Institute. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute was a guest at the Kamehameha schools in 1927 while on a tour of the world. REG'LAR FELLERS United States Policy In Haiti Is Scored In Debate At Hotel Astor Between DuBois and Cumberland (Continued From Page One). they tax alcohol, tobacco and the standardization of coffee." The peasants, the letter said carried no arms, except their usual "coco macaques," or sticks. Saved Haiti Millions. Captain Marshall said that, in his six years at the American Legation in Haiti he had had the opportunity to inform himself on the acts of American officers in Haiti and he could not agree that the United States was 'disinterested in its haggling of the Haitian situation. One of the first acts of the State Department, he asserted, kas to order. Haiti to agree to accept a loan of. $40,000,000 from Lee Higginson & Co., without public bidding. When the National City Bank protested, the matter was deferred. Subsequently on public bidding, the latter bank, he added, made the loan and Haiti was saved "several millions." Dr. DuBois held that "no community of human beings in modern history has suffered so outrageously at the hands of white people as the unfortunate folk who inhabited the island of Haiti." He reviewed briefly the conquest of the island by the Spaniards, when, he said, in five years the natives "were reduced from 1,000,000 to 14,000," and the three centuries of French colonial sway, which say the slave trade at its peak. At the time of the French Revolution, he said, there were, out of 500,000 Negroes and 28,000 mulattoes within French territory on the island, "28,000 free Negroes, legally French citizens who demanded their rights." Overthrown By Force. "These negroes," he said, "without charity, without education, with out experience, degraded by slavery and surrounded by a hostile world, maintained an independent government from 1804 to 1915, when the United States overthrew it by force." One of the reasons for the American occupation of Haiti, Dr. Du Bois charged, was that "in the development of modern democracy, the real control of great countries is passing to those forces which control finance—the men who control the distribution of capital in the world—are the men who are controlling Haiti." "We have established order in Haiti by physical force, backed by the money, army and navy of the United States. We have done away with every vestige of democratic government; we have built roads and established such lines of communication as makes the military subjection of Haiti easier. We have established some measures of sanitation, but we have done practically nothing for education. We have not increased the foreign trade for Haiti, and we have decreased her debt only on paper, because the fall of the French franc was made the United States the chief creditor, thus transferring the real leadership of the island to New York banks." From Southern States. Dr. DuBois deplored the fact that the Americans who governed Haiti were largely from the South, and particularly from Louisiana No matter what their goodwill toward the Haitians, he said, they could not rid themselves of their prejudices against Negroes He admitted that the Haitian occupation had done its best work for the Haitian people in its medical service in which native Haitians were employed. As for education and the land question, which are usually discussed together in American reports, Dr. DuBois said, Americans complained of Haitian illiteracy, but did nothing to reduce it. He declared that Haiti presented the case of a people being exploited so that they might be reduced to the status of peonage in order to exact profits from their labor and nullify all democracy in the land. "It was not a mere juxtaposition of events that while we were telling the Russians to keep the peace we were sending marines to Haiti," said Dr. DuBois. "It was a logical juxtaposition of events. If you want to keep peace one way would be to see to it that this country (Haiti) has restored to it the freedom which it won." Cumberland Defends Policy. Mr. Cumberland spoke of the rising economic status of the average Haitian as a result of the American occupation. While any fair-minded person would say that the United States had made some blunders in its handling of the Haitian problem, said Mr. Cumberland, it was necessary to point out that the Haitians were a helpless group of individuals. Whether the United States should continue its participation in the affairs of Haiti after the treaty expires in 1936 was a dubious question, he held, but he added, that the occupation should not be continued unless the Haitian people signified their desire to have the Americans remain. The fundamental question in Haiti is poverty, according to Mr. Cumberland who felt that this question, exemplified by the small average per capita income would remain to the fore until better, methods of agriculture were followed. Referring to illiteracy, which he said, was 90 per cent. Mr. Cumberland said that this made the country population susceptible to exploitation by the town dwellers. He declared that 30 per cent. of the people suffered with malaria, 40 per cent. had hookworm and 60 per cent. suffered from a social disease. In the realm of agriculture Mr. Cumberland pointed with approval to the experimental stations and agricultural and vocational schools which had been established to take the place of the classical form of education, modeled after the French system, which had existed prior to the American occupation. Barred from Hotel. Replying to a statement by Mrs. Cumberland, who said he had observed no racial discrimination against the, mingling of, educated Haitians' and Americans, Mrs. Helena Hill Weed, writer on Haitian affairs, declared that a hotel proprietor would not permit her to entertain some prominent Haitians because he had received orders from marine officers that Haitians were not to be allowed to mingle with white guests. Mrs. Weed was informed, she said, that she might entertain her Haitian friends on the porch of the servants' quarters.

Sold Everywhere NEW JERSEY DOCTOR SUES WIFE FOR DIVORCE, CHARGING INDISCRETION COMMITTED WITH NEGRO CHAUFFE Asbury Park, N. J.—Charging that his wife had carried on a clandestine romance with a neighbor's colored chauffeur, Dr. Herold V. Connery, young and prominent physician of Asbury Park, has filled suit for divorce before Vice Chancellor Maja Berry, it was revealed here Monday. A tryst in the chauffeur's room, moonlight canoe trips, and strolls and motor rides in which his wife and the chauffeur met secretly, form the substance of the physician's complaint against his 20-year old blonde wife, Mrs. Lillian Connery. According 10: Mrs. Connerty, the physician's charges are untrue; but the doctor introduced eye-witness testimony before the Vice Chancellor in support of his charges. Servants in the summer estate of A. E. Harrison, wealthy New Yorker, at Wanamassa, an exclusive district on the outskirts of Asbury Park, were the doctor's witnesses. These witnesses told how Mrs Connery, mother of a 16 months old baby, had crept into the servants' quarters of the Harrison home, and on at least one occasion had remained for more than an hour in the room of Joseph Mitchell. On one occasion, Mrs Connery is said to have stayed in the room about an hour and then apparently ready to leave, had returned to the room and remained for another lengthy interval. Other servants added their testimony. There were, they said, canoe trips on Deal Lake on nights when the moon revealed the pain in affectionate silhouette. They told, too, of indistretions in nearby lovers' lanes. All these charges constitute a frame-up, the blonde Mrs. Connery asserted, through her attorney. Her father is said to have gone to the chauffeur and demanded: "Did you have anything to do with my daughter?" "No, I swear before God the whole thing is a lie," the chauffeur is said to have replied.

Was Doctor's Patient In 1927, Miss Worthing, then working in a motion picture, was brutally beaten by an intruder in her home, and it happened that Dr. Nelson was called to treat her. The acquaintanceship thus formed ripened into friendship and the physician continued to call on her until finally they went to Mexico and were wed. When questioned as to his race, prior to the reconciliation, Dr. Nelson told the reporters: "I am what I am. It can't hurt me much. The racial question had nothing to do with the separation. It was simply that she was jealous. I believe she would like a reconciliation. I say it without egotism, I believe she has a tremendous affection for me." Asked if he was a Negro, Dr. Nelson asked "What is a Negro?" "He is an African," was replied, "I am not an African," he said, and when pressed further, answered, "Well, let us say I am colored." posed by the doctor's family which is said to be one of the oldest in this section of the state.

White Society Leader Claimed To Be Ex-Wife Of 52-Year Old Negro The existence of an alleged marriage certificate indicating that a fashionable white, society lingerie, Mrs. Benjamin Mitcheel of Loos Valley, had eloped with a Negro and married him 20 years ago, and being investigated by District Attorney Edwards of Nassau County. The man, Ludwig Strong, 50 years old, lives at 170-02-110th avenue, Jamaica, Long Island, N.Y., is said to have in his possession a certificate of marriage to her issued 20 years ago. It is claimed that he attempted to extort $5,000 from Mrs. Mitchell under threat of exposing her as his wife. It was charged that he wrote a letter making an appointment to receive the $5,000. Instead of emissaries with cash, strong was met by detectives who arrested him. The allegation is that while Mrs. Mitchell, 20 years ago, then a young debutante, was supposed to have been kidnapped from the home of her father, she in reality eloped and married Strong. Benjamin Mitchell, the complainant, a well-to-do realtor in Locust Valley, when informed of Strong's allegations, said neither nor his wife had anything to say. District Attorney Edwards declared he was in no sense prepared to accept Strong's statements as true. He said: "We are investigating to determine the authenticity of the purported wedding document. Assuming, even that it should prove genuine, it would give the colored man no right to attempt to extort money from Mrs. Mitchell."

The school voted to send fruit baskets to all sick members of the church and school. Four young people are the bearers. The choir's processional had different air at the morning service. The pulpit was decorated with red candles and large holly wreaths tied with long red streamers, the work of the Floral Club. The sermon by Rev. James B. Adams, "If Jesus Had Not Been Born" brought choruses of "amens" from the pews. Mrs. L. A. Henderson made a short but tender appeal for gifts toward the Dorcas Fund for Christmas dinners for the needy, which brought people forward with gifts raising the fund to over $200. The choir sang the "Hallelujah Chorus," crowning Jesus, King of Kings. The audience waited quietly for the final number, well rendered solo, "Rejoice Greatly, O Daughter of Zion," by Mrs. S. Dorothy Etheridge, leaving the room with Christmas joy uppermost. At the B. Y. P. U. the crowded school room felt also the spirit of the season. GENE BYRNES NEW YORK Portchester, N. Y. Birmingham, N.

(The Third of a Series of Articles on The Pullman Service and The Porter, as Observed by Joseph Whitley, 25 Year Pullman Porter.) There are, as I previously stated, three types of Pullman porters. That statement, however, would most likely be denied by the Pullman management were confirmation of it asked. But, then, that shouldn't be all surprising. Like the head of a family, it would be neither a good nor a wise policy for the father to admit that some of his boys were industrially inferior to others, no matter how evident this fact might be. The same philosophy may be applied in this case. Nevertheless, there are three types of porters. THE TYPES Classified, the types may be arranged, as A. B. and C. Qualified, the description is Excellent, Mediocre, and Indifferent. I might add just at this point that the classification is not based on the number of years in service. That would be unfair as well as erroneous; for some of the porters who really belong in class C are what we call veterans in the service, while in class A may be found porters whose service rights are not sufficient to earn them a regular assignment. Yet, many of the latter age have all the qualifications of excellent porters. Classified, the types may be arranged as A. B. and C. Qualified, the description is Excellent, Mediocre, and Indifferent. I might add just at this point that the classification is not based on the number of years in service.

Yet, many of the latter age have all the qualifications of excellent porters. QUALITIES OF EXCELLENT PORTER Now, just what are the qualities the excellent type? Briefly, they (1) Subordination.

Anyway, these are the porters when they speak in complimentary terms; otherwise, it is the work of this type to who and all consideration which the Pullman O porter group in the matter of improvements inditions. Now, just what are the qualities, you might ask, of a porter of the excellent type? Briefly, they are, (1) Affability, (2) Neatness, (3) Subordination. The first quality is being courteous; the second is being neat in the care of his car as well as being neat in his personal appearance; the third is being subordinate at all times and under all circumstances to orders. There are many porters who are service paragons in the first two virtues, but in the third they do not do so well. The A-1 porter has no misconception about the importance of obeying orders. In short, the excellent porter must possess the same qualities as those possessed by the excellent household or personal servant. What percentage of the whole porters of that type constitute in the Pullman service is difficult to determine. The conjecture is that it might go to fifty per cent. Anyway, these are the porters to whom people refer when they speak in complimentary terms of Pullman porters. Furthermore, it is the work of this type to which may be attributed any and all consideration which the Pullman Company has given the porter group in the matter of improvements in wages and working conditions. THE MEDIOCRES porters will no doubt disagree with me when I was mediocre, a betwixt and between porter. A porter is either a good porter or he is a nor the group, the members are evaluated to a common to hear one porter speak disparaging her; and when this is done, nine times out rather there is substantial basis for the depravity never put a member on middle ground. J. percentage of the group which occupies this position to say he is neither flesh nor fowl, nest ent, the mediocre type cannot well be evaluates and demeis. Those of this type are their passengers, and they are neat in their peris disposition to obey orders, especially if the will not result in penalty, is not so good. But, the mediocre is self-conscious in his rite. A peeved or irritable traveller can get a more difficulty in five minutes than the porter in five months. Porters of this type constitute per cent of the porters group. Most porters will no doubt disagree with me when I say there is such a type as mediocre, a betwixt and between porter. To most of the group, a porter is either a good porter or he is a no-account one. Even among the group, the members are evaluated to a certain extent. It is common to hear one porter speak disparagingly of the service of another; and when this is done, nine times out of ten it is justified, or rather there is substantial basis for the depreciation. But, as a rule, they never put a member on middle ground. Just the same, there is a percentage of the group which occupies this position. Other than to say he is neither flesh nor fowl, neither excellent nor different, the mediocre type cannot well be evaluated; according to his merits and deftness. Those of this type are in the main usable to their passengers, and they are neat in their personal appearance, but their disposition to obey orders, especially if they think that not to do so will not result in penalty, is not so good. Then, again, despite the title, the mediocre is self-conscious in his relations with passengers. A peeved or irritable traveller can get a self-conscious porter in more difficulty in five minutes than the porter can extricate himself from in five months. Porters of this type constitute approximately thirty per cent of the porters group.

To gain this knowledge, all I would have to do would be to consult the porters' service record cards in each district. There is where I would get my data. Those of this type make up the other twenty per cent of the whole. Although I have given these the nomenclature of indifferent, the title is paradoxical. Porters of this type are everything but indifferent when it comes to complaints. With them complaints are many. And just as there are many which come from them, in the same proportion do many go to the company from passengers regarding them. Aside from their lack in the art of hems, affable, their slovenness in the care of their cars and a habitual leaning towards insubordination, when subordination doesn't conform with their ideas or what is right, it is the indifferents who are mainly responsible for the large stock of road inspectors which the company maintains. What would be the need for a dozen inspectors, aside from other service supervisors, to every thousand porters, if 90 per cent of these could be depended upon to do their work properly? Porters of the last named type cause most of the complaints with which the company has to deal in connection with its operating service. I shall give some instances of this in my next observation.

AMONG THE MAIDS AND MADAMES Not exactly envious, but just a little bit piqued at the spotlight which the various Pullman Porters Quartets have been occupying, four Chicago maids' namely, Bearnice Banks, Beatrice Herron, Ethel Hudson and Helen Tippett, have decided to organize a singing foursome of their own. As yet the name of the quartet hasn't been decided upon, but the guess is fair that it will be of a euphonic character. All four maids run on the Portland Limited, a North Western and Union Pacific train, between Chicago and Portland. Ore. If the ability of the members to sing may be indicated in any manner by their looks, well, they should be an instant success. Superintendent G. H.

Negroes Share Community Chest Funds In Albany And In Warren, Ohio Community Chest organizations in the various cities of the United States are rapidly becoming aware of the responsibility of communities for the social betterment of the Negro portion of their population. Under the stimulus of the National Urban League, which conducted investigations and studies through its Department of Research, Ira DeA. Reid, Director, the Community Chest organizations of Albany, New York and Warren, Ohio, have appropriated a total of $0,000 for social work among Negroes. An appropriation of $6,000 by the Albany Community Chest for the Albany Interracial Council, which is affiliated with the National Urban League, has made for the year 1930. This work was supported for the last three months in 1929 as an experiment. The action of the Chest on the 1930 budget is evidence of the community's approval of the results of the work which has been carried on since October 1st. James H. Baker, who was a 1928-9 Fellow of the National Urban League at the University of Pittsburgh, has been selected to take charge of the work at Albany. The Warren Community Fund has appropriated $3,000 for the establishment of a branch of the Urban League at Warren, Ohio, which will enable this city to start constructive social work among Negroes with the beginning of the new year.

This is more than one fifth of the consumption of the entire country, says the New York State Committee on Public Utility Information. "More than three million gas meters are now installed in the Empire State, four-fifth of them in homes, and new meters are being added at a rate of ten thousand a month, says the Committee's statement. The predicted total of 115 billion cubic feet is based upon proximate reports from manufactured and utility companies throughout the State. Of this total, approximately twenty-five per cent will be used in various industrial heating processes as widely varying as glass making and pretzel baking. Three-fourths of the State's enormous supply of gas will be used in homes, restaurants, hotels and other places for cooking, water-heating and space-heating. It is estimated that in New York State in all towns of 10,000 or more ninety-five per cent of the home use gas for one or more purposes and that three-fourths of the food now prepared in the State is cooked by gas, at an average consumption of gas of less than 100 cubic feet per family a day.

The ability to cook well does add to the fondest of maids of the world, and the ability of children's dyes in the form of a sauce of Trees and true pie recipes. Dessert. Cheese Pie.

Moth Killers Effective Only in Air-Tight Space Small cases, cards, or bags containing naphthalene or paradichorhenezene, sometimes called P. D. B., will not furnish protection against moths when hung in a room or large closet, will not drive out flies, mosquitoes, roaches, bedbugs or ants, will not purify the air, disinfect, or destroy odors, according to W. S. Abbott, head of the Silver Springs field station for testing insecticides under the Food, Drug and Insecticide Administration, United States Department of Agriculture. "For many years these materials have been called 'moth repellants' and it was believed their odor would keep moths from entering a closet or drive them out if they were already there, but we now know that such is not the case" says Mr. Abbott, who has just concluded a number of varied experiments with these insecticides. "Experiments have shown that moth larvae will crawl through a line of P. D. B. or remain feeding within a few inches of several ounces of it or naphthalene and not be affected. Adult moths will fly over P. D. B. placed across the side of a box and deposit eggs on the flattered in the box or will remain and breed in a small open room or closet where both corn and potatoes are present in considerable amounts. These experiments show that the mere presence of these materials or their odors will not repel moths or prevent moth injury. City and Suburban Property Co-operative Apartments S. J.
