Hoover Washington, D. C.—Maintaining that the present treaty between the United States and Haiti is illegal, Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, in a conference with President Hoover, urged the recall of Brig. Gen. John H. Russell as U. S. High Commissioner, and his replacement by a civilian. $250,000 Building Campaign For Livingstone College Goes "Over The Top" At Bishops' Council VOL. 43. No. 20.

Russe tioner, and his replacement Senator King told President Hoover the Haitians should be allowed to rule their own country under a Constitution adopted by themselves, rather than the present one which be said was drawn up by the U. S. Navy. "I believe that our going into Haiti was not justified, and that it was a violation of the sovereignty of Haiti and an injustice to the Haitians," Senator King said. "I have asserted over and over again that we should get out of Haiti, and I have introduced a resolution in the Senate demanding withdrawal of the marines, and the calling of a constitutional convention by the Haitians. I have bitterly opposed President Borno, and I am opposed to any policy that would call for retention of the marines in the country. "I think the United States should announce its intention to send a civilian governor in place of a military governor and that neither Borton nor whom he might name should be the figurehead governor of Haiti. "I believe that if we announced that an election would be held within a reasonable time for the selection of such officers as they might provide in their Constitution, peace and tranquility would come to Haiti and all resentment would cease. I believe we are in Haiti under an legal treaty." Senator King said that while he favored the civilian governor, he would in the absence of anything better, support President Hoover's proposal for a commission to study the Haitian problem. He did not think that the commission would ascertain any facts worth while under the present military regime, however. WILLIAM TALBERT DIES IN BUFFALO Telegram to The New York Age Buffalo, N.

Price Council to issue $250,000 for building the Livingstone College was begun on the dramatic floor in the fay when it was at the Bishop's Council at Dulwich (C) when with $20,488 28 bread to complete the fund, the bish- president, officers, ministers and lay men of the college each took on the task.

MEYERS OF HOLLENDEN HOTEL BARBER SHOP DIES Widely Known Citizen Was Confidante Of Mark Hanna and McKinley GEO. A. MEYERS OF HOLLENDEN HOTEL BARBER SHOP DIES Widely Known Citizen Was Confidante Of Mark Hanna and McKinley --- Cleveland, O.-In the death of George A. Myers, for forty-two years proprietor of the famous Holldenden Hotel Barber Shop, Cleveland has lost one of its best known and outstanding citizens. Mr. Myers, who had been in ill-health for months, was seventy year old. He was a personal friend of Mark Hanna and is credited with having been author of the nickname "Uncle Mark." He enjoyed the friendship of William McKinley, Elbert Hubbard, Booker T. Washington, Japen James Food "Rhodes" gather material for "History of United States from Cominquise of 1850." Mr. Myers was born March, 5, 1859, in Baltimore, the oldest of three children. He settled in Cleveland in 1879 and was for nine years foreman of the barber shop in the Weddell House. Making a host of friends, he opened the Hollenden Barber Shop, which attracted world-wide attention and was stylish by Elbert Hubbard as "the best barber shop in America." As many as thirty, including barbers and manicurists, have been employed at one time. Enjoying a large acquaintance, Mr. Myers became active in politics, in 1892 he was an alternate delegate from the 21st Ohio District to the Republican National Convention at Minneapolis. His vote elected William M. Hahn National Committeeman from Ohio, and it was largely instrumental in helping the McKinley-Hanna organization come into power. During the McKinley pre-convention campaign in 1890, he rendered Mark Hanna valuable aid, and at St. Louis acted as host to colored delegates from all over the country. When Hanna was running for the Senate, George Myers was in the thickest of the fray getting votes for his friend. In 1900 he was elected as a alternate-delegate-at-large to the Republican National Convention at Philadelphia, and largely through him Senator Quay's resolution reducing Southern representation was defeated. In 1912, at the instance of Booker T. Washington, Mr. Myers was tendered the management of the campaign among Negroes throughout the country by Charles D. Hilles, then Chairman of the National Republican Committee, but declined the honor. In 1890 Mr. Myers married Miss Maude E. Stewart, who survives him; also a son, Herbert D Myer, and a daughter, Miss Dorothy Myers, well known socially and a teacher in the Cleveland public schools. The Myers residence is in one of the beautiful and fashionable suburban sections of the city. Mr Myers was a member of the City Club of Cleveland. He was interested in civic movements and secured recognition for many deserving members of his race. He was a Mason and an Eik. iss. For many months, the Rev James E. Mason, financial secretary, has made his headquarters in the North, making consultant and impelling up to white friends in New England states. President W. J. Trent made the appeal at the Bishops Council giving him the authority to be given even plotted, with the names of some of the largest contributors. When the information was given to Livingstone's student boys, the entire school stood up and gave it to wild, and long sustained applause. PRES.

Federal Court of Appeals Rules Against Richmond Segregation Law The United States Circuit Court of Appeals at Richmond, Va., has affirmed the recent decision by Judge Groner of the United States District Court of the Eastern District of Virginia, who declared the recently enacted segregation ordinance passed by the City Council of Richmond to be unconstitutional. The decision of the Court of Appeals resulting from an appeal by the city of Richmond from Judge Groner's decision was rendered by Circuit Judges Parker and Northcott and District Judge McDowell. The ruling dealt a crashing blow to the hopes of the Richmond authorities that the ordinance would be declared valid. Cleveland Council Admits Negro Nurses and Internes To City Hospitals The Circuit Court of Appeals decision affirms Judge Groner's was made on the basis of the basis of the segregation case, Buchanan vs. Warley, won by the N. A. A. C. P. in 1917, which decision was affirmed in a case also carried to the Supreme Court by the N. A. A. C. P., through its New Orleans Branch and known as Harmon vs. Tyler. The decision rendered, quoting the above cases, declares "Attempt is made to distinguish the case at bar from these cases (Buchanan vs. Warley and Harmon vs. Tyler) on the ground that the zoning ordinance here under consideration bases its interdiction on the larger prohibition of inter-marriage and not on its interdiction on the legal prohibition of inter-marriage is itself based on race, the question here, in final analysis, is identical with that which the Supreme Court has twice decided in the cases cited." The Federal Court of Appeal's decision continues by dismissing consideration of cases cited by the Richmond city authorities, in which attempt is made to justify the segregation ordinance on the basis of court decisions upholding the right to restrict property in certain areas for erection of certain types of buildings. "They deal" the decision concludes, "with the right of a city to forbid the erection of buildings of a particular kind or for a particular use within certain sections of the city, which manifestly is a very different question from that involved here. That the Supreme Court did not consider that the doctrine of SHAW UNIVERSITY STUDENT-STRIKE IS CONCLUDED SHAW UNIVERSITY STUDENT-STRIKE IS CONCLUDED Special to The New York Age. Raleigh, N. C.-The strike of students at Shaw University which started Tuesday morning, ended early the same afternoon when the students went back to classes. The strike was based, it is said by students on alleged unfairness on the part of the college administration, and because student grievances were not given proper attention by Dr. L. J. Peacock, president of the college. The administrative council of the university agreed Tuesday afternoon to consider the grievances, it is said, the strike, which had involved about 60 per cent of the students. ended. The council, however, refused to consider the grievances until the students had returned to classes and some who had not been attending religious services had agreed to do so in the future. One of the reasons for the strike, the students said, was because students not going to services had been barred from classes Cleveland, O.—The Cleveland City Council on January 13th passed unanimously a resolution which opened the city hospitals to Negro nurses and internes, according to information just forwarded to the N. A. A. C. P. by Charles W. White, member of the executive committee of the Cleveland Branch. The resolution was introduced in the City Council by Dr Walz, eight-year-old Councilman from the West Side of Cleveland who was loyaly supported in advocating passage of the measure by the three Negro members of the City Council, Messrs. Clayborne George, Lawrence O. Payne and Dr Le-Roy Bundy. The resolution instructs the City Manager of Cleveland "to make such appropriate arrangements as shall afford to all citizens of Cleveland an equal and reasonable opportunity to receive training as nurses and internes at the Cleveland City - Hospital." It further provides that J. FINLEY WILSON GETS INJUNCTION AGAINST VA. ELKS Grand Lodge Opposes Activities of State Body Headed by Ex-Treas. Richmond, Va.—An echo of the bitter fight at the Elks Convention which met in Atlantic City last summer was heard here on January 15 when Judge D. Lawrence Groner of the United States District Court granted in injunction to the Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. Elks of the World to restrain the Virginia State Association of Elks from securing and maintaining a chapter for State lodges under the name of the I. B. P. O. Elks of the World. The suit was brought against four men, whose name appeared on the papers filed for application for the charter—Dr. Leon A. Reid, Attorneys James T. Carter, former grand treasurer, Joseph R. Pollard and John Neblett. The recent move by lodges of the Virginia State Association to secure a charter under which they could operate was made as a result of Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson's declaration that all lodges which had not complied with the payment of the increased annual tax of $1 per capita—in increase from 60 cents—would be to summary suspension at his pleasure. Mr. Carter and his associates opposed this legislation, alleging that there were only 49 members in the convention hall when the increase was passed and that it is not a representative piece of legislation. The Virginia Eks also claim that the application for charter was made simply as a protective measure. In the event the Grand Exiled, Ruler issued an order of suspension against alleged derelict lodges, the State Association of Virginia would have a charter under which it might operate without loss by the rank and file of the membership in the state. It was further stated that the Virginia lodges are not planning to withdraw from the Grand Lodge. The local Eks were represented by Attorney James T Carter and Joseph R. Pollard and the Grand Lodge was represented by Attorney Perry Howard, W. C. Hueston and George C. Hayes of Washington, D. C. NEGROES AGE EARLY IN WEST INDIES, SAYS PSYCHOLOGIST NEGROES AGE EARLY IN WEST INDIES, SAYS PSYCHOLOGIST Press dispatches from Port-of- Spain, Trinidad, quote Prof. Seagar of the Rockefeller Chair of Hygiene at the Imperial College, as stating in an interview that Negroes of the West Indies are too old at 30, due to habits and diet which materially shorten life and affect manpower. He said "A preliminary survey I have just concluded, dealing with 700 workers on twenty sugar and cocoa results of the workers are aged at 30 with marked heart blood vessel deterioration, and by 40 they are handicapped seriously with their expectation of life shortened." He blames especially the extensive use of timed milk and recommends the keeping of goats. He mentions also the unusually large proportion of income spent for tobacco and alcohol. Contrary to the general view that Negroes have excellent teeth, Professor Seagar declares a large percentage have defective teeth, due to an excess of starch and sugar in their diet. "The psychology of the tropical workers has been hitherto a Cinderella psychology, but research in the important field of industrial manpower run temperate climates shows that diet and fatigue are points affecting the willingness to work, which must influence the cost of the production of sugar." Professor Seagar says. While factory methods in the tropics have been radically modernized to compete in world markets, field conditions remain unchanged since the primitive regime. Investigations reveal that the average worker works only twenty hours a week."

Burchman vs. Warley was in any way overruled or limited by Euclid vs. Amber, is shown by the fact that Harmon vs. Tyler was decided five months after the latter case and its decision was expressly based on the former. There was no error and the degree below is affirmed." Lecius F. Cary, assistant City Attorney of Richmond, who argued the pigment case, announced following condition of the decision that the city would carry the case to the United States Supreme Court. There seems, however, little likelihood of success in view of the unequivocal language of the United States Supreme Court in the cases of Burchan vs. Warley and Harmon vs. Tyler. The situation occasioned by the Richmond ordinance is a novel one in that there was considerable opposition to the ordinance not only by colored people, but by whites as well. Colored, citizens, under the leadership of Dr. Leon A. Reid, prominent Richmond dentist, raised funds to fight the case. The Richmond daily newspapers unequivocally condemned passage of the ordinance and the Richmond Inter-racial Commission was active against it. Throughout the progress of the case, Attorneys Alfred E. Cohen and Joseph R. Pollard of Richmond had the co-operation of the National Legal Committee of the N. A. A. C. P., and Walter White, acting secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. paid a visit to Richmond to help in the preparation of plans to contest the ordinance. The case is known as City of Richmond vs. J. B. Deans. Prof. Matheus Named Sact'y Liberian Com. Institute, W, Va. — Professor John F. Matheus, head of the department of romance languages at West Virginia State College, Institute, W. Va., has been appointed by the United States government as secretary of the Commission which is to make inquiry into the slave trade of the Republic of Liberia. The commission, which is headed by Charles S. John, head of the department of social sciences of Fisk University, will sail within a few days for England, Holland, and Liberia. A Liberman member and a member representing the League of Nations will join the commission which after making investigations as to whether slavery was formerly fostered by tribal chiefs in Liberia, will return to the European continent and make its report to the Hague tribunal. Professor Matheus' linguistic accomplishments as well as his foreign experience and travel led to his appointment. This is the second time that the State of West Virginia and the West Virginia State College have been called upon to furnish a secretary to the kind. Charles Shell, business manager of the Institution, was secretary of the Virgin Island Commission appointed by President Coolidge. "such opportunity shall in no event be denied or abridged on account of the race or color of anyone seeking such training." Mr. White writes the N. A. A. C. P. that the resolution was approved by the Director of Public Welfare, Dudley S. Blossom, by City Manager William R. Hopkins, and by Law Director Harold S. Burton "This action comes after many years of spasmodic but relentless urging and insistence" writes Mr. White, "and I anticipate that it will mean a great deal to Cleveland and other localities." This action by the Cleveland City Council causes that city to take its place with New York City, where, within recent years, a successful fight was made to secure admission of Negro nurses, internes and physicians in the New York City hospitals. Recently, provisions were made in Boston for the admission of colored nurses to certain hospitals in that city.

Will Employ Negro Clerks nI Harlem Offices Western Union Co. Will Employ Negro Clerks nI Harlem Offices The New York Age is able to make exclusive announcement that the Western Union Telegraph Company has recently completed a survey in Harlem for the purpose of determining whether or not it would be wise to turn over their Harlem branches to colored employees. According to the information given The Age by Emanuel Roberts, who for the past 12 years has been a confidential employee, the company has decided to modify its policy by putting colored messengers and clerks in its 135th street branch. Mr. Roberts, who is a colored man, states that the company has no prejudice against Negroes and employs white and colored messengers in Denver, Chicago, Detroit and other cities. They have several colored people in clerical positions at their headquarters, 195 Broadway. But the placing of a colored man as manager, with an all-colored staff, at the Harlem office will be the first time such an experiment has been made, says Mr. Roberts. It is interesting to note in this connection that the 200 West 135th street office did more business during the Christmas holidays than any other office in the New York District. Many residents of Harlem instead of purchasing Christmas presents for relatives in the South or West Indies, wired money. The change in the office personnel of the 135th street branch will not be made for several weeks, says James F. Nathan, general manager, as the company will have to give the new colored workers a certain amount of technical training before they will be qualified to assume their posts. Colored messengers will be taken on first and the others will follow in due course. The action of the Western Union Company may influence other public and semi-public utilities to employ colored help. The Western Union's decision was partly due to the splendid record made by Negro clerks and carriers in the Post Office service, as shown by their Harlem survey. College Station Post Office Has More Postal Savings Accounts Than Any Branch P. O. In City Langston University Spending $100,000 For Physical Growth Langton, Okla.—Langton University, Z. T. Hubert, president, is planning an expenditure of $100,000 this year in laying foundation for future permanent physical growth. A new heating plant, with central power house and new mains to all buildings, is nearly completion. This includes replacement of all old motors with new A. C. type motors, and direct lighting and power from the O. G. Company. Several new cottages for teachers are being planned, to be placed at strategic locations, made possible by a gift from the General Education Board of New York. A model Home Economics Cottage is under construction, being built on native stone, fireproof in its entirety, to provide practice work for student teachers. Permanent walls and drives, with planting of trees and shrubs, will add largely to campus beauty. College Station Po More Postal S Than Any Br Hostal employees working at the College Station, branch post office, at 140th street and 8th avenue, can boast that their station has two records among the branch post offices in the City of New York. This station had a larger number of postal savings accounts during the past year than any other in the city. More than 1100 of these accounts were opened during 1929. Although the volume of accounts are larger, the average amount in each is not as large as some of the other stations. College Station is also what is known as the biggest C. O.

It was charged in Bridge Plaza Court that he gave a check drawn against a Brownsville bank to Louis Rosenblatt of 587 Green avenue, collector for a milk company in payment of a bill. The check was made out for $35, it was alleged and the bill called for $3. The collector said he gave the man $12 in change. The check was made out to Reid and was signed with the name of Louis Showitz druggist of 2226 Pittman with "unproper signature" and it was then that Reid was arrested. It was also charged that he signed several other checks in the city and received merchandise. st Office Has savings Accounts branch P. O. In City nity of College Station work, the carriers from this station have difficulty in delivering these C. O. D. packages. Most of them are returned to the station and a note left for the party for whom they are intended to call the post office for their package or packages. It is these people who have to call for their packages who cause most of the congestion at this station, says an old employee. Money orders from this station average about 500 per day and because of the many foreigners in the neighborhood, the amount of registered mail is above the average. The stamp sale is about the same as that of any other branch in a residential neighborhood. EN. JAN SMUTS HONOR GUEST AT INTER-RACIAL CONFERENCE ON NEGRO EDUCATION IN WASHINGTON Washington, D. C.—Between Jonchon at the White House and dinner at the British Embassy last Wednesday, General Jan Christian Smuts, former prime minister of the Union of South Africa, conferred for two hours with a group of twenty white and colored Americans at Howard University on the progress and condition of the Negro and the inter-racial problems in America. The conference was arranged by the Phelps-Stokes and President Mordecai W. Johnson, and was held in the Moorland room of Carnegie Library which contained a precious collection of Africana and Negro literature. General Smuts stated that it was one of the most interesting and helpful half days spent during his lif time. General Smuts was accompanied by Eric H. Louw, minister of the Union of South Africa, Philip Kerr, director of the Rhodes Scholarship Foundation and secretary to Lloyd George during the World War, Philip C. Nash, executive director of 'the League of Nations Associations, and James P. Moffit, representative of the State Department, Washington, D.C. The condition and development of the American.Negro were presented in five to ten minute summaries under the following heads: religion, by President; Mordascal W. Johnson; education, by Dr. J. M. Candy, President of the Virginia Normal and Industrial College; health, by Franklin O. Nichols of the American Social Hygiene Association; woman's position by Miss Nannie Burloughs, Principal of National Training School for Women and Girls; industrial relations by Eugene KlineKline, Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League; educational development by T. Campbell, Agricultural Extension service government political status, by Prof. Melle Miller, and inter-racial relations by Dr. R. R. Motoga of Tuckee Institute. The other members of the conference supplemented the discussions with answer to questions which General Smuts very pointed directed to each topic. At the conclusion, General Smuts himself addressed the conference focusing upon the American race question and his new understanding of it as a result of the conference. He was particularly impressed with the advances made by the American Negro, for which information he was deeply indebted to this conference. He was even more impressed with the technique of adjustment and cooperation being worked out between the majority and this minority section of the American population. Upon such intergroup council and cooperation, General Smuts believed that most of the present day problems of the world could be progressively carefully adjusted to usted. It was an elaborate to usted another field of the principle of arbitration and cooperative council as 'expressed in political relations by the principles and machinery of the League of Nations With all of its differences from the South African race problem, he thought the successful solution of race relations in America would have profound effect upon the adjustments of the race problems of colonial imperialism, especially those of the Union of South Africa. General Smuts expressed this admiration of the endurance and power of the coloured which, in the long run, would result in bringing about justice and amity. The occasion of his visit to the United States was wholly unofficial and was in the interest of study of American farming methods, and our rare problem. He is a native of South Africa, educated in the Boer college, later winning honors in law at Cambridge. In the biographical sketch by David Rankin Barbes, he is spoken of as the peer of any living English statesman and for pure intellect and wide scholarship is probably without equal in the British Empire.

Lord Oliver has been on a Government mission, to the British West, India, to the British study of economic conditions. After a brief stay in New York it sailed Saturday for London. It was his first visit to Jamaica since he was Governor of the Island. During Ramsay McDonald's first Labor Government, Lord Oliver then Sir Sidney, was elevated to the peerage. He is known for his fair-minded attitude on the race question and is regarded as an authority on British West Indies and South African affairs. Two of his best known books are "White Capital and Colored Labor," and one dealing with misery among natives of South Africa. Lord Olivier made one of the principal addresses at the Second Pan-African Congress held in London in 1921. A CORRECTION Editor The New York Age In the issue of January 4th, concerning the killing of my sister, Mrs. Blauche Burwick by her husband Ernest Burwick, you mentioned the fact that my sister was killed in her apartment at 233 West 143rd street. I wish to correct this statement for my sister did not have an apartment, but merely had a room in the apartment of Mrs. Florence Holmes, that address. In the article mention is made that their children had been taken away from them because "it was alleged that the mother was unit to continue as the children's guardian." This statement is not true for the children had been placed in homes by the Five Points House of Industry only after my sister had asked the Domestic Relations Court to take care of them until their domestic troubles had been settled LEON W.

Olivet Baptist Church in New York City, has been appointed by the Governor of this state to the Anti-Saloon League Convention, which is meeting this week in Detroit Originally there were **white** delegates appointed to represent this state.

Rev. Mr. Henderson succeeded Dr. Mordecai Johnson as pastor of the First Baptist Church Howard Forum Hears Talk On Haitian Situation --- Washington, D. C—In speaking on the subject "The Next Step in Haiti" before the Howard University Forum, Dr. Freeman joined the Logan of Virginia Union University recalled incidents between October 31 and December 8 of last year that led up to the student strike, suggesting amenable actions. The principal cause was the dissatisfaction of the natives with the administration of Dr. Freeman of Alabama, who was the president of the societies, according to Pro. Logan, had been assured that as they acquired training they would be promoted to responsible positions in connection with education. Instead, Southern white men were brought over by Dr. Freeman and placed in charge which meant an inability to increase the native students that had been provided. One cause of dissatisfaction with the American directors of education who are regarded as "experts," their inability to teach French, French grammar, or themselves intelligible through interpreter. Speaking of "experts," Prof. Logan told one of "ocean expert" who wanted to teach plantations. He asked some Haitian guide who were groups to get to them. The guide replied, "You have been walking through the all morning." The store was cured show the ruducte which the Haitian guide for the so-called "American expert." YOU CAN BUY SHARES IN F. W.

C. We are passing through interesting days in Washington now. We have always had a sort of semi-official Black Cabinet with, perhaps, Judge Terrell as its dean. Now, with several men in quite high places and a member of the United States Congress moving easily among us, we are becoming more minded. Some are reminiscing, others are looking forward, and a generation is being born, to which, we hope, these things will all be commonplace. There is no desire to migrate from Washington and the present government beautification of the city is making it a mecca for many new residents. We spent a day in the House of Representatives. As we passed through the long runway from the Office Building to the Capitol, it was quite noteworthy how many members paused, for a courteous greeting with Congressman DePriest. Some of them he recognized, many he did not know, as it his policy never to disturb himself to seek out the acquaintance of any. It may be interesting to note here, that Mr. DePriest does not know even by sight, some of the men who are reported to have time and energy in criticising him. On the floor, he sat "check by jowl" with other members. There was much friendly converse and moving from person to person. There was not a flicker of an eyelid, save in courteous greeting, as he entered or left the members' elevator. Indeed, it would be difficult for anyone to offer offense to Congressman Deprist. He is too distinctly the epitome of rugged physical strength, the demonstration of Place and Power. As he himself remarked, he "moves easily from post to post and makes every post a winning post" We shall he so happy when others of our group come to Washington to join him, but surely, no one, in a desire for self-aggrandement, will attempt to tear down that which already has been built During Negro History Week, we shall be celebrated here the second week in February, we expect of have-present at the banquet, three Negro ex-members of the Congress of the United States and Hon. Oscar Deprist gathered together in what we hope will mark a renascence of the race. Throws Girl From Window In Row Over $6.00 Throws Girl From Window In Row Over $6.00 --- Dorothy Robinson, 22 years of age, of 271 West 141st street, is dying in the Harlem Hospital from injuries she received when thrown from a third story window at 453 Lenox avenue late Tuesday afternoon, January 14. William Lee of the Lenox avenue address was placed under arrest a few minutes after the crime was committed by Detectives Robinson, Durning and Lehman. He told the detectives that the girl was a friend of his and that he became enraged when she attempted to take $6 from him. Lee was taken over to the Harlem Hospital and identified by the girl, who suffered several broken bones and internal injuries.

McLaughlin, in Brooklyn. Swan had been indicted on complaint of Samuel Eagle, 26, of 119 Herzl street, who charged Swan had attacked him in a paint store at 344 Osborn street, Brooklyn, on November 23. Eagle testified that after the struggle he suffered a cut on the back of the neck. Swan on the stand said he was discussing business with a person in the store when Eagle "invited himself in and tried to start an argument." Swan said Eagle "made for me with, an ice scraper and I clinched and took it away from him." Under cross examination Swan said that "maybe he got cut when I was taking the thing away from him, but that wasn't my fault." Waterbury, Conn.

TEN YEARS OF PROHIBITION. TEN YEARS OF PROHIBITION. The passing of the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the Eighteenth amendment found the subject of prohibition enforcement as great cause of controversy as it was in the beginning. In Congress and out of Congress the wets and the drys are still disputing the soundness of the law and differing as to the results that have followed ten years of attempted enforcement. The preliminary report of President Hoover's Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement has done but little to clear up the issues, although it recommended various changes in the laws and court machinery to render enforcement more practicable. The recent debates in Congress over prohibition have shown a greater degree of confidence on the part of the wets, although when it has come to a vote the drys still have an overwhelming majority. The latest development in Congress was the proposition made by Senator James E. Watson of Indiana, that a national poll he had on prohibition, so that the people of every state would have a chance to show where they stand on this controverted question. In the House of Representatives, Representative La Guardia of New York moved to nullify the appropriation of fifteen million dollars for dry enforcement, claiming that the amendment was invalid, because of faulty ratification. His motion was defeated by a vote of 178 to 63, nearly three to one. In the Senate an early vote was demanded on the resolution of Senator Blaine, Republican, of Wisconsin, asking for the repeal of the Eighteenth amendment. A Maryland Senator wanted data printed in the Congressional Record, to show that 1,360 persons have been killed in the ten years of enforcement. Representative Sirovitch of New York made a bitter attack on the personnel of the enforcement agents specifying four in his district who had "gone wrong." On the other hand, Commissioner Doran of the Prohibition Bureau stated his belief and conviction that the personnel of the force is more efficient and honest today than ever and getting better under intensive instruction. The Anti-Saloon League which met in convention at Detroit last week, was convinced that the country was well on the road toward complete prohibition enforcement, according to the optimistic statements of its most prominent speakers. They expect to continue the campaign for more stringent state laws, especially in those states which have none at present, like New York. An effort is being made to enlist the youth of the land in the dry movement, and the progress so far made was declared to be a hopeful sign. Coming nearer home, one newspaper writer, in surveying the results of ten years of enforcement, declared that the people of New York have never accepted the prohibition law as one to be obeyed. In this community of six million people there is open rebellion against the law. The violation of it is common on every hand and occasional raids by the police or prohibition forces hardly scratch the surface of the traffic, much less to hamper or restrain it. The sentiment of those who are neither rabidly wet nor dry, but moderate in their views on prohibition, seems to be that the farce of enforcement should be done away with and some method adopted to regulate the sale of liquor, wings and beer in a legal manner. Here we get back to Senator Watson's offenders, proposed referendum, which would sub- The results of white disfranchisement mit certain questions to the vote of the in the South were manifested in the people in every state, so as to determine charges made of misgovernment in the following matters: 1.

JUDGES REPORT ON CHAIN GANG. The Atlanta Independent, of which the red ubtable Benjamin Jefferson Davis is president and editor, a few weeks ago sought to drag Judge J. A Cobb of the Washington Municipal Court and Judge Bates of the Federal Parole Board into the matter of the transfer of Federal prisoners to the Georgia chain gang. It was stated that when the legality of the transfer was first questioned by that paper, That proposition seems to be calculated to secure an authentic expression of popular sentiment on a highly controverted subject which still remains in the experimental stage. those two jurists were sent by the Department of Justice to investigate the physical conditions of the Chatham County chaingang. According to the Independent, these investigators "reported conditions good, and that the convicts were better satisfied in hangars than they were in the million dollar steamheated Atanta prison." EFFECTS OF DISFRanchisement. While disfranchisement laws were adopted by many of the Southern states to eliminate the Negro from politics, the result of such a policy has been to decrease the number of white voters as well. This was shown by certain statistics compiled by Dr. Monroe N. Work, director of the Department of Records and Statistics of Tuskegee Institute and contained in a paper read by him at a meeting of the American Historical Association held at Durham, N. C. While some of the first measures adopted to bar Negroes from the ballot box were so crude and unblushing in their discrimination on account of race and color, as to cause their rejection by the Supreme Court, the authors of such legislation learned how to avoid such dangers by restrictions of the ballot general in form but intended to apply solely to the black voters. Instead of the grandfather clause came the poll tax and educational requirements as to reading and understanding the constitution, which could be used to bar out the undesired voters. The result of such requiremetns for voting was not only to eliminate the masses of the black voters, mostly Republicans, but also to greatly reduce the number and percentage of Democratic voters, nearly all whites. Bearing upon this phase of disfranchisement, Dr. Work presented some illuminating data in the following figures: The Georgia editor wanted to know among other things, why these two men were sent to make an investigation, that should have been made before the contract was signed for the transfer. Dissenting from the conclusions of the report, that the Georgia penitentiary was a fit place for the retention of convicts, it was stigmatized as "the first report of the kind ever made in the state. The convict camps have been generally reported as everything but being fit for human habitation." Here the editor seems to make no distinction between the penitentiary and the convict camp, perhaps because there is not any. The Independent charitably assumed that Judges Cobb and Bates spent possibly one day in Savannah and found everything O. K. with the camp. But it wondered what they would thing when they read the report of the National Society of Penal Information on Georgia prison conditions, which was the result of years in making, and found everything wrong and a disgrace to civilization. We quote the Independent: The society found that the convicts are at the mercy of the county chaining hostesses, and the state has but little control over the convicts after they reach the county authorities; that the cage wagons, okeled by Cobb and Bates engendered unnatural vices. The society found that in no other state were prison conditions so intolerable as in Georgia, but Cobb and Bates said everything was spick and span in the pen and cage wagons. The Democratic vote for Mississippi in 1888, in the Presidential election immediately before the passage of the Disfranchise Law, was 85,467. This number of votes was not equaled until 1924, thirty-six years later, when, with women voting, 100,475 were cast. The Democratic vote in Mississippi in 1888 was 88,384, the white males of voting age. In 1920 it was 32.2 per cent, a decrease for the thirty-two years of 40.1 per cent. The Independent printed lengthy extracts from the report of the Society setting forth the evils of the Georgia prison system, which it commended to Messrs. Cobb and Bates, to "wrestle with their consciences over the report they made." As the Department of Justice, has given notice that the contract for the transfer of Federal prisoners to the Chatham County camp will be cancelled, that feature of the situation is eliminated. But if the Georgia prison system is still as bad as the National Society found it, a reorganization is demanded in the interest of the state and its prisoners.

Cobb and Bates, to "wrestle with their consciences over the report they made." As the Department of Justice, has 'given notice' that the contract for the transfer of Federal prisoners to the Chatham County camp will be cancelled, that feature of the situation is eliminated. But if the Georgia prison system is still as bad as the National Society found it, a reorganization is demanded in the interest of the state and its prisoners. In the same way South Carolina showed that five thousand more Democratic votes, were cast in 1892, before disfranchisement became effective than in 1924, thirty-two years later, with women having the right to vote. The same thing was found to be true in Louisiana, where there was a decrease of nearly twenty per cent in the proportion of votes cast to the total number of whites of voting age. North Carolina had before disfranchisement a large white Republican vote. The total vote cast in the State in 1896 was eighty-five per cent, of all males of voting age. With the women voting, this total was reduced to 44.8 per cent of the total voting population in 1920; 40 per cent in 1924 and 52.8 in 1928. RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION The racial segregation ordinance adopted by the city of Richmond was, again pronounced unconstitutional, this time by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, which sustained the decision of Judge D. Lawrence Groner, made in the United States District Court last fall. This decision followed an appeal by the city, which contended that it had the power to restrict residence of the races to certain districts. The city will carry the case to the United States Supreme Court although previous decisions have been against such forms of segregation. Another form of segregation has made its appearance in so far removed a territory as Los Angeles, California, by the insertion of a covenant in the deeds given to purchasers from a restricted development, in which it is covenanted that the owner will not sell or convey the property to any one of the Negro race during a period of ninetynine years. The trouble with such covenants or restrictions is that they invariably act as a hindrance to the sale of the property at some future period, when the residential conditions have changed to such an extent as to make a sale to Negroes more profitable than a sale to whites. This was exemplified in a Washington case, where such a covenant was held binding and a sale to a colored purchaser prevented, although the neighborhood later changed to such an extent as to make any other sale highly improbable. Restrictions in deeds are frequently found to be traps for the unwary and the courts are growing more liberal in dissolving them, when the conditions that first caused them to be adopted have changed or disappeared. But segregation by city ordinance is another kind of thing and a dangerous public policy to approve, with such a variety of race elements as are to be found in the United States. Hence the City of Richmond seems to have embarked upon a futile attempt to keep up its ghetto system.

Alabama showed a slight increase in the percentage of whites voting in 1920, over that recorded in 1900 immediately before Negro disfranchisement became a fact, but the increase was only a little over four per cent. The total vote cast in Alabama in 1924, with women voting, was 14.6 per cent. of the population of voting age. This percentage increased in 1928 to 21.2 per cent. Virginia, on the other hand, showed a marked decrease in the percentage of the white vote cast after the ballot was taken from the Negro in 1900, falling from 48.5 per cent. to 32.4 in 1920. The Democratic vote in 1928 was 101.613 which was 44.000 less than twentyeight years previously. This was due largely to the Democratic split over the candidacy of ex-Governor Smith for the Presidency. And yet the total number of votes cast for Hoover on the Republican ticket was but 115,348. The total vote cast in Virginia in 1928, with women voting, was only 18.2 per cent. of the voting population. In Georgia the same decrease in the ratio of votes to qualified voters was noted, the percentages running from 27 per cent. in 1904 to 25 in 1920, and 16.2 in 1928 with women voting. Another form of segregation has made its appearance in so far removed a territory as Los Angeles, California, by the insertion of a covenant in the deeds given to purchasers from a restricted development, in which it is covenanted that the owner will not sell or convey the property to any one of the Negro race during a period of ninetynine years.

Restrictions in deeds are frequently found to be traps for the unwary and the courts are growing more liberal in dissolving them, when the conditions that first caused them to be adopted have changed or disappeared. This falling off in the percentages of whites voting shows that disfranchisement has not stopped with depriving the Negroes of the suffrage. In its devious workings it has also kept a number of whites from exercising their privilege as citizens and effectually barred them from a vote in the government under which they live. This big falling off in the white vote in states where disfranchisement has been practised against the Negroes is the penalty that is, exacted by the inexorable working of natural justice—not of the courts—which makes bad laws inevitably recoil on the heads of the offenders. But segregation by city ordinance is another kind of thing and a dangerous public policy to approve, with, such a variety of race elements as are to be found in the United States. Hence the City of Richmond seems to have embarked upon a futile attempt to keep up its ghetto system. URBAN LEAGUE PROGRAM At the annual, meeting of the New York Urban League, the main feature of the program for the current year was set forth as a plan to focus all of its resources to secure more and better jobs for Negro workers.

This object was announced by the industrial secretary, Samuel A. Allen, who presided at the session. It was also the hope of the industrial department to create a field of employment in the retail stores of Harlem and in the local business center on West 125th street. What can be accomplished by a aggressive campaign in this direction has been demonstrated in Chicago where, in the districts populated by Negroes, members of the race are in evidence in all the retail establishments catering to neighborhood trade. Besides, this primary object of bettering the conditions of the Negro wage earners by securing greater opportunities for employment, the League is aiming to better conditions in other directions. A housing bureau has been established to arbitrate differences between landlords and tenants and to give information and advice on available houses, in the various boroughs and suburbs. To relieve congested conditions in Harlem, it was recommended that there must be a movement to get outside of that territory. To get cheaper housing, cheaper land must be sought outside of the borough limits, with building costs kept down to the minimum. Cooperative housing THE AGE READER'S FORUM LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Communications addressed to the Editor will be printed in this column, if they bear the name and address of the writer. The opinions or theories advanced are those of the writer, and are not to be considered as reflecting the policy of The New York Age. The Editor also reserves the right to "cut down" letters that he considers of undue length. You have doubtless noticed the recent stir in the A. M. E. Zion Church by the report that charges had been preferred against one of that church, but possibly you had not noticed that there was a disposition to treat with indifference these charges, taking as a cue the source from which they come. As this writer sees it these charges are the result of negligence of long standing; there have been murders of discontent and complaints of looseness in the administration of the financial affairs of the church for years; the bench of Bishops have from time to time abrogated to themselves the authority to administer the laws of the church to suit themselves, and they have thus questioned their authority; their rule on certain matters have become autocratic and tyrannical. Now the report has been broadcast that a certain Bishop has been hailed before a committee, and that other Bishops were being called in question, and their administrations were being sifted. It may be very possible that the charges against this Bishop will be squelched and ignored, but will that help the church in future? It is known that the Bishops, while they do not in person purloin the finances of the conferences over which they preside, they form machines in every conference, and these machines donate them large sums of the people's money that were sent up to the conferences in missionary purposes; but it was accepting stolen money. This thing has gone on for years, and men have muttered and complained about it, but it meant their ministerial death to come out in public with these charges. You no doubt wonder what manner of men are at the head of this grand old church. Well, they are scholarly and dignified, with many grits but few graces; they are very pregnant with soridic greed; they all want to get rich quick but the worst failure; they are without Christian mission that has been held before Bishop that only a 'sample of several others, in his dealings with his fellowman. There will be other charges coming up, and that right early. There are hundreds that will watch the ultimate outcome of these charges. The conclusion has been reached that the church cannot prosper and grow with a tyranal, corrupt and bossy leadership. We may try to charge that the source from which charges spring is without influences, etc. but after the lapse of fifty years someone fired the ball rolling, and unless the range of 'front in Zion, the ball will be kept rolling until men will be recognized as men. There are two or three of the Bishops of the church, who know the law of the church and try to live by it, but they are largely in the minority and by themselves. God saw that they God save the church and save us from ourselves. (Rev) E. M. ARGYLE. Knoxville, Tenn. Pertinent Facts BY DUNSTAN STRONG BY DUNSAN STRONG Negro editors and newspaper men never thought of other Negro groups outside of the United States until Marcus Garvey brought their attention to them. The New York Rogers is distinctive in the fund of Negro histo- rical research, but a white pub- lishing company will have to nance the publication of "The Lives Of Great Negroes" if it is to be published at all. Dr. Mo- er and many other prominent and distinguished Negroes praised the work of Rogers both here and in Europe. Alan Looke, A. B. Ph.D. Hars- vard, graduate student of Oxford University (Rhodes Scholar 1907- 10) and the University of Berlin is one of the few Negroes in the United States that has addressed himself to the study of Negroid groups outside of his own country. He has been Professor of Philosophy in Howard University since As I See It Editor New York Age: was advocated by one speaker to solve the problem. Other features of the work of the organization were provision for the convalescence of babies by a unit of the Speedwell society, supplementing the work of the adult convalescent league. Please were made for the organization of the workers of the race in the American Federation of Labor, as has been done by the Pullman Porters Brotherhood. But the advantages gained from the affiliation of that branch of workers with organized labor have not yet proved substantial enough to constitute a powerful argument along those lines. The special field of the Urban League lies in the development of industrial opportunities for the race. It should not divide or dissipate its energies in trying to do the work of other organizations. Let it stick to the policy prescribed in its original slogan, demanding "Not Alms but Opportunity." 1917. He spent the summer of 1927 at Geneva observing the work of The League of Nations. Mr. Locke is the author of "Race Contacts and Inter-Racial Relations. He is one of two Negroes who lectures for The Foreign Policy Association. His subjects are "Africa" and "The New Africa." Rayford Logan, A. B. Williams College, a first Lieutenant in the A. E. F., travelled through Europe for six years, made a trip of investigation through Hayti in 1926 and is now head of the Department of Modern Languages at Virginia University. He is the other Negro in the Foreign Policy Association. His subjects are "Hayti" and "Africa." The Foreign Policy Association and the Woodrow Wilson Foundation are allied activities backed by the most influential people in the United States. The question of Phillipine independence may be postponed indefinitely despite the impassioned pleas of the Phillipine Representatives in the House last week. As a result of the unsettlement of Negroid groups in Samoa and Hayti, and the agitation in India, it is thought that its effect just now could be in extremely reactionary among those groups.

Natives may not buy land in South Africa except in certain extremely bad localities. Natal was discovered on Christmas Day and named in honor of the Christ-birth (Natalis—be born).

In Durban native Africans require from 4 to 9 stress orders to appear in the Dutch Reformed Church of which General Smuts is a member in charge of the spiritual activities of Durban. Liberia is a Negro Republic on the East Coast of Africa. His Excellency Charles Dunbar Burgess King is President. In Liberia news is censored. Laborers can earn as much as 100 per day. It is complained to the League of Nations that the Liberian Government practice compulsory recruiting, forces labor and slavery, and that the Firestone interests get their work done in privacy with the Government for a pound of rice or the equivalent of three cents per day. A People's Credit Union, the first of its kind to be launched in Harlem, has started to function under the supervision of the N. Washington Department. The president is C Benjamin Curley.

There is an increase of almost 100% in the number of undertaking parlers operating in Harlem Are we dying that fast? Baltimore Sets Example (From The Nation) Two particularly odious assaults by Negroes on white women were recently committed in the city of Baltimore. Since Baltimore is a civilized community, civilized even on the Negro question, neither of the offenders was taken out and subjected to the loathsome caprices, of a mob. Both will be dealt with swiftly and justly under the law which governs their offenses. The Baltimore Sun, in commenting editorially on the resolution drawn up by various Negro societies in the city, denouncing recent crimes committed by members of their race and promising their whene-hearted support in suppressing such crimes in the future. We recommend the Baltimore attitude on the race question to the Governor of Florida, which admits to four of the ten淋ings which took place last year. It is encouraging to note, in considering the fences on淋ing, that in twenties on淋ing were prevented by the prompt of officers of the law, and that 24 of these were Southern States. We only hope that some of the twenty-four took place in Florida. Noting the increasing boldness of the leading South Carolina dailies in defending the principle of justice in race relations, the Palmetto Leader of Columbia said: The Record in a splendid editorial "Is It Our Shame?" points out in a succinct manner the paradoxical nature of a State's expecting to domicile a law abiding citizenry, when that abiding ciemfw shrdl entwy sth State prover itself to be derief in equipping half its population with the means of knowing what its laws are—the ability to read. The Record quotes facts and figures to show that the appropriations for the education of Negro children are less than one-tenth of those for whites; that the opportunities for Negroes preparing themselves to teach in South Carolina are such that they may readily be dismissed as negligible; that the whole system as far as the Negro is concerned is farcial and for the State suicidal. The State attacked the interference of the United States in Haitian affairs and made the plea that the people of Haiti be allowed to determine their own destiny without the imperialistic attitude of Uncle Sam manifesting itself. The State called attention to the practice by the proponents of American domination in Haiti of exaggerating the faults of the natives and making it appear that the blessed marines are out guardian angels; when in fact the natives themselves are more law-abiding than the marines. When the thinking white people of such backward states as South Carolina are brought to realize the harm done the whole community by failure to educate the youth of both races, we may look for improvement in this particular. The State and the Record have plenty of missionary work ahead of them. --- The following contribution to the literature of "Crossing the Color Line" was found in the Star of Zion, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church: A young West Indian, of very fair complexion, is filling a position in New York, which he could not fill if it were known he is colored. He sought this position because he could not obtain adequate remuneration as a colored man, which reveals the iniquitous disparity paid labor in this country on the basis of color. But the conscience of the young West Indian is troubling him. He feels that continuing in his present employment under present conditions, he is not only misrepresenting his racial identity, but is undermining his self-respect, and deserting his own people among whom he lives. He seeks counsel of Dr. S. Park Cadman, and that encyclopedic clergyman advises him against false pretensions, and of his self-respect to the tenance of his self-respect and pride in his racial identity, find work at a lower wage, if necessary, and cooperate with the courageous Negro men and women who are endeavoring to improve their racial assignment. Annually, thousands of fair-skinned persons cross the color line, marry into other groups for business and professional reasons, and rear families. What is more; this practice is not wholly confined to any section of the country. And the religious editor sapiently commented, "This condition is not of the Negro's creation." It may be that no one with whom he comes in contact is concerned over this young West Indian's ancestry. With the comment, "So we are really getting a break at last," the musical editor of the *Louisiana Weekly* of New Orleans chronicle the followawk functions in which legal talent participated: Mrs. Alma Lillie Hubbard, noted local soprano, assisted by the New Orleans University Male Quartet, which she directs, gave a two-evenings entertainment at the recently opened Goodrich Tire Service Station, Camp Street, at Julia, where several amplifiers had been placed. It is needless to state that crowds gathered and the nice thing about it is that all their page advertisements no mention of color was made. Last Sunday some of the city leading white citizens sponsored a recital given by Cecil Carter, sweet-twined local soprano, assisted by Beatrice Stuart Davis, at the piano, and Ethel Finnie Granger, elocutionist. Headed by the popular writer, Hi Field, the committee is doing all its power to help Miss Carter to realize money enough to go to New Know New York State In 1790 the population of New York State was 340,180; in 1890 it was 6,003,174. It is now nearly 12,000,000, having almost doubled in the last forty years. The gasoline tax in New York State, in the first six months of its levy, paid into the treasury more than fifteen million dollars. This was paid on about 960 million gallons. The circumference of the earth is 24,902 miles. If joined in single lines, the manufactured gas mains serving New York State would almost encircle the earth, and the electric transmission lines would almost girdle it twice. The New York State fish hatchery yearly distribute about one billion fry and fingerling game fish, and from State game bird farms about 16,000 Chinese pheasants and 150,000 eggs are distributed. There are four State prisons in New York—Auburn at Auburn; Siny Sue at Ossining; Clinton at Damnage, and Great Meadows at Custock. Together they have an average prison population of about 6000. Or a twelve-hour-day basis, coffees are served in New York City at a rate of one every four minutes. Saturday, January 26, 1934 York and study vocal music. Local critics are unanimous in their praise of her voice and speak in glowing terms of her possibilities. On the basis of this comes the Fisk Singer, eight in number, who have had the distinction of not only prede律ian Church Sunday evening, but of broadcasting several groups of Negro Spirituals over Station WWL, Loyola University, on Monday evening. In presenting them the announcer said that if public demand was great enough they would be asked to return, to our city again next week. The writer concluded that all this showed that, "we are to be given a real chance to sell our wares, if they are the kind of goods that the bryers want." Richmond has had a Negro welfare survey, released by the Richmond Council of Social Agencies, which the St. Luke Herald pronounced a most informative piece of literature that should be in every library in the South. It added: A number of indictments were made against the city of Richmond and its industrial heads, who force a large element of its citizens to live under conditions that are the local white aristocracy would abhor, if some of their fine breeds of cattle were similarly placed. Employers of household help, such cooks, maids, butlers and the like were given their share of attention because of the totally inadequate wage for which many of the women here work—not enough to decent clothes for themselves; divorcing the fact that many of them have small children at home who must be fed and clothed without any other source of support. This survey committee searched for the truth about the living conditions among Negroes in Richmond. They have found the truth and why these conditions are true. Whether or not all of this time, energy, money and intelligent classification of facts will be consigned to the scrap he along with other information about local Negroes and their needs, is a matter yet to be determined. The practical value of these welfare surveys depends largely if not entirely, upon the use that is made of them. If they are utilized to remedy harmful conditions, the money and time expended in their preparation may be apply justified. In Atlanta the Ku Klux Klan has taken to parading at night with an escort of police, which caused the Atlanta Independent to protest as follows: They paraded the Negro section of the Boulevard last Monday night under police escort, and it is reported that they invaded other sections of the city where Negroes are segregated. What impression the Klanmen are seeking to make upon the Negroes' mind is another puzzling question. What lesson they are trying to teach them, whether they are trying to menace the happiness and contentment of the Negroes by driving. Through Negro settlements in autumn autumn in bunches of fifty cars or more, it is turb not only the Negro, Jew and Catholic, but calculated to cast a fever of terrorism throughout the city. No other secret order marches through the streets at night, and other secret orders desire that the public shall see and identify them, but the Ku Klux marches in the dark with their identity covered up with hoods and gowns, and the colored people are becoming greatly disturbed by reason of these night marches through the community they live. They ought not to be permitted to march through the streets unless they march as other secret orders do, with their identity exposed. There is no politics now; no racial disturbances, and we can see no reason why the Klan should menace the peace of the community by driving through the streets in unlighted automobiles. The use of the police as an escort to such parades suggests that the city authorities are controlled by the Klan, which would add to the alarm created by such demonstrations. --- In order to keep from making "any of those inevitable resolutions and lines of righteous advice so tempting for editorial writers after the let-down of the holidays," the editor of the St. Louis American substituted the following figures of speech which he claimed, broke into print during the past year: He went out like a match in a storm. As unmanageable as a skirt in a rumble seat. He was short as a traffic cop answer. The evening was as decorously doll as a darge played on a hurdy-gurdy in a morgue on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Bright as the seat in a Scottish ninth's trousers. He made a clatter like a shower of feathers. Hours as empty as a beggar's time cup on a rainy day. About as much need for a fur coat as a Congo nash has for skis. As silly as a political issue seems a year after the campaign. When I went to college the girls looked like hour-glasses with short; now they look like sacks with legs. About as happy as a toastless guest at a peanut brittle party. As a sample of the flexibility of the English language, when used to convey fancies rather than facts this exhibit is not without interest for the collector of wristcracks. CHURCH AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES Grace Church of Harlem Grace Church of which Dr. A. C. Garner is pastor was filled on last Sunday morning, with members and friends who had come out to assist in "Pew Sunday Rally."

This gift, of course, has succeeded in raising the remainder of the $200,000; and an additional $10,000, three days ago, making $76,000 in hand. The work of Elizabeth E. Wright in assisting the Treasurer, A. M. Menace and others was certainly a splendid achievement, and principal Blanton to properly honor the founder of the school by putting up a $10,000 Academic Building and a girls' industrial building, all four as nearly fire-safe and suited to modern school methods. Improvement from within at Voeckner has brought out the following results: from standard colleges, the laboratory for the science work is pretty well equipped; from standard facilities are not what is desired for modern methods. The library is not perfect, but it has improved greatly. It is being made to make it more modern every year. Within the last five months, the student has been made person trained in modern library methods.

SIMS Montgomery Ala.-After having 3 wins in 3 starts to its credit, the cage outfit of the Alabama State Teachers College, dropped the second of a series of two games to the Morris Brown Uni- versity in Atlanta, by a 25-12 score, at Dillard Gymnasium Tues- day afternoon. January The Teachers failed to exhibit the brilliant, form shown on the previous night when they drubbed the Atlanta bunch to the tune of 29-18. The swift passing attack employed by the Atlanta cagers, seemed to be too much for the Hornets and the Black and Blue quintet took a lead from the tip off, that they never relinquished during the entire period of the fray. The Hornets put up a very stubborn defense but the Atlanta's victory was not to be denied them. The first period ended with a 13-7 count for the invading quintet, and despite a strengthening on part of the Teachers in the second part, the visitor ran up 12 more markers before calling it a day. Captain Bradley of the Atlanta five, unanimous choice last year for all-Southern center honor, played his usual brilliant floor game, roving at will over the court with the ball in his possession. Daughterly also was a power on the offense sinking 3 baskets. For the Hornets, Williams played astellar game at guard, while Lewis and Murray did the bulk of offensive work. Alexander who al- moments threw the Browners single handed on Monday was watched closely, not being able to connect with the hoop a single time.

The meet was under auspices of the Pastime Athletic Club and Moore represented the University of Pittsburgh. Howard Opens Basketball Season With Victory Over St. Paul, 49-30 Washington, D.

Bordentown Five Beats Y Team of Montclair Montclair, N. J.—In what started off as a slow and uninteresting game, but which developed plenty of fireworks and excellent basketball before the close, the Wildcats of the Bordentown School defeated the Big Y" Five of the Montclair in a here tonight, and thus shook off a here year jinx that the North Jersey quintet had on the schoolboks. The game was characterized from start to finish by air-tight guarding, though the shooting of both teams was erratic. The Montclair outfit got off to a lead when Tucker and Jackson each dropped in a foul apiece. Hilton, lanky center for the Wildcats, returned the compliment and a minute later Green came down the door for a foul. Hilton then that put-the schoolboys in the lead, an advantage which they never relinquished for the rest of the game. Leading 10-9 at the end of the first half, Bordentown increased this advantage to 21-12 at the close of the third quarter. Montclair made a determined bid for victory in the closing minutes of the contest, and Tucker and Jackson sank several pretty shots to bring the count to 29-25. Here Spruel called for a penalty, and the schoolboys resorted to the freezing game, and were in possession of the ball when the final whistle blew. Hilton and Spruel, both veterans from last year's quintet, were the big shots for Bordentown, counting up eleven and nine points respectively. Dimitruce, Duck Williams, juvenile substitute, got into the varsity line-up for the first time and celebrated the occasion by locating the basket for five points. Ford, shooting ace for the Montclairites, was closely covered by the opposing guards and failed to score in his usual form, leaving the brunt of the attack to Tucker and Jackson. The "Y" team was distinctly below par in its sharpshooting, and time after time setups were missed through overanxiety on the part of the North Jersey forward. Pengitorio handled the contest in his usual neat style.

At The New Douglass One of the screen's strongest and most pretentious romantic adventures is promised to the New Douglas patrons Saturday to Tuesday, January 25 to 28, when the "Mysterious Island" comes to the screen. This under-seas spectacle took two years and four months to make. More than a thousand people are in the cast and the picture took over a million dollars to complete it. Everything possible was done to make this picturization of lions Verne's fantastic story a great feature in every sense of the word. "The Mysterious Island" may be truthfully called the most original story ever filmed. It reveals the peculiar submarines of some ugly years ago, a strange race of undersea people, half man and half fish, and many other gruesome signs, below the surface of the sea. The uncanny battles between human beings in diving armor, and the hordes of cold, bloodless demons of the deep will chill you to the marrow. Heading the cast of thousands in this 'cereal drama' are Lionel Barrymore, Lloyd Hules, Montague Love and Harry Gibbon. "They Mysterious Island," done fully in sound, dialogue and natural color reaches 'new' heights in film entertainment. At The Alhambra Theatre It's a speedy pace of fun at the Alhambra' Theatre this week with Eddie Hunter and Pigmeat Markham leading a crowd of talent in 'Track Fast.'

Marcia Marquez, lovelier than ever, has a honourous duet with Ted Blackman and in answer to many requests Mada Raudolph sings the chapel "My People." "The Web of Love" brings the dancing girls out in unique spider and fly costumes in which they execute a very pretty dance, and during "Honeysuckle Rose" they emerge from gorgeous bowers of huge red rushes.

Hilda Oiffley and Artie Camas restless wives who are eager to divorce Wesley Tulman and Tiana Wiley and Ted Blackmon, and so they travel out to Reno, the place of quick and easy separation.

Miss Harrison's well chosen program included compositions of Listae, Chopin, Laslo and Balakirew and was flawlessly presented. It was an evening of superb piano-playing. Her work has ripened and deepened so thoroughly until her manifestations were to be topped with tenal glory, as they were transcendent virtuosity. Her technique was brilliant and her power was titanic without the slightest suspicion of pounding. From beginning to the end of the program, the audience was held spellbound and at the conclusion broke out with prolonged aplause refusing to leave the audience after two hours had been played. During her stay in the city, Miss Harrison was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. G. Bernard Valentine. White Woman Collects Old Negro Spirituals Washington, D. C—Some forty-odd Negro Spiritualists have been collected and put into permanent form by Mrs. Lyman B. Kendall, well known in Washington society as "Betty Kendall. The music and accordion accompaniments are by Mrs. Mildred Kolb Schultze also of Washington. The chanting Spirituals with which Mrs. Kendall were first sung by the slaves in southern Georgia and were preserved from generation to generation by word of mouth recently have they been put on paper. Mrs. Kendall was familiar with the songs from her childhood and found a commercial value, in them in the drawing rooms of New York, Boston and Newport when she was a child and when her income. She and her plantation melodies became the vogue in these cities. "The Negro Spirituals of the old South, like the dialect, differed with the locality. The metrical peculiarities carried to suit, the taste of the music being imbued by the old songs are the same," says Mrs. Kendall in her preface. ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS By PERCIVAL OUTRAM "You are invited to attend a concert Sunday afterpon, January 19, 1930, at 3 o'clock sharp at St. Peter's West 138th street, New York City by Henry Lincoln Johnson Band, Hulbert Finlay, conductor." Such was an invitation received by the writer. We arrived at the hall in time to hear the second part of the prose the number of which was the "Pilgrim Ochron from Tannhauser." This number was surprisingly well rendered, the attack at all times being firm and accurate; the conductor getting his response faithfully to the fine arrangement of Lake, the arranger. This number was followed by "Serenade" by Moskowski; "Hunting Stene" by Buxalosi. The devilive piece called for the use of the vocal chords of the bandsmen. Then came the closing number "Semramedi" by Rossini. This tricky overture appeared to have been well rehearsed and the band was captured by the motion of Mr. Finlay, was captured and applauded for their line effort. The outstanding numbers in the first half were the overture, "Stradella" by Flotow and a cornet solo "The Trumpeter on Guard" by Neske, played by William E. Franck. The Henry Lincoln Johnson Band were 60 strong and their improvement is marked. R. Benjamin Fray, master of ceremonies, said that these concerts would be held on regular schedule to be announced later with admission free. The woodwind section included flute, piccolo and oboe and the percussion section included tympani. This percussion section was as steady as Gibraltar and the bass drum was not offensively heard. It seems inevitable that if you appear at Local 802 as complaining as much time will not elapse before you again appear as defendant. Herman Hurley, pianist, has been no exception to this. Hurley is leader of an orchestra in a HAPPENINGS IN THE REALM OF MUSIC downtown dance hall. He recently won judgment in a case he had before the Trial Board. Now he has it, is alleged, just escaped a court order to book by the refusal of a musical artist's charge against him or by some compromise undivulged. Thompson, a saxophone player who has played with Hurley for the months he worked this presen- tence, is accused, by Hurley without notice, because Thompson urged Hurley to get an increase of salary from the manager of the dance hall. Thompson filled charges against him realizing his blunder offered hire Thompson, but would have found a similar charge awaiting him from Samuel Joel who Hurley had hired in Thompson's place. Here was a dilemma modified being eager, to retake the job. Hurley was as busy as a bee, jumping from Union headquarters to Thompson's home, it is claimed, trying to avoid paying 2 weeks salary out of his pocket. At last trying to avoid paying 2 weeks salary out of his pocket. Joel remained on the job and Thompson did not appear at two hearings to press the charge against Hurley. Meeting Hurley on Seventh avenue and asking him why Thompson asked to us was that maybe Thompson had enough "dough" and didn't feel like working anymore. Why the subterfuge Hurley? Murder will out. A singing drummer, who was buried very recently, has left quite some confusion as his heritage to his widow and narrowly missed leaving a larger estate. He had made overtures to take another life insurance policy; had stopped the agent from taking his wife stating he wanted a policy for each of them, but deferred the matter. Pneumonia took him away from his mundane sphere in the absence of his wife who had left the city. Jane, as a beneficiary, let us say, Jane —, Jane, shortly after burial went down to Local 802 carrying someone to identify her and received the check for $1,000. Having some difficulty in cashing the check at the Federation Bank at the local and for information from the local and for another reason, Jane lost a day. Meanwhile, a woman with a marriage certificate went to Local 802 to claim the insurance and was horrified to know the check was not there, even more else. "Jane," five minutes before, had phoned and had the matter adjusted. An insurance policy is incontestible; but there were, or are, some technical data in this case by which a clever woman could avoid out, might have induced Jane to share the money with the real wife. "Jane" is the correct first name of the woman who got the check, but she had no legal right to the last name written on the policy. She could avoid the real widow's last name was on the policy but her first name was not Jane. A member of Local 802, a piano player, is claimed to have been implicated in this case, not in a savory light. The police identified "Jane" accompanied her down to the Union for this purpose. While, the genuine widow was in the local headquarters, in walked this identifier and he was asked whether he knew the question in for identification. He admitted the assertion but was non-plussed when the real widow rebuked him and claimed they knew each other and that the piano player knew she, and she alone knew the question. In the ensuing conversation, the piano player scurried out and it was recalled that in three instances this same piano player had brought down the question the answer was asked she asked a professional identifier as well as a professional musician. At The Roosevelt Betty Compson, most popular actress of the talking screen, will be seen and heard again at the Roosevelt Theatre, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, January 25, 26 and 27, in "Woman to Woman".

TPES CLASSIFIED Ans | THE NEW TELEPHONE RATES To All Users of Our Service: : ; ‘The United States District Court, in its decree filed December 27, 1929, | in the telephone rate case; Fixed the value forrate making purposes of this Company’s property. . Named seven per cent. as the rate of return. . “Held that the existing rates did not produce an adequate return and were confiscatory. Authorized the Company to increase rates, to produce’a return not greater than seven per cent. upon the fair value of the property. ‘New rates, prepared in’ accordance with the Court’s decree, will become effective February 1,.1930. They are designed to distribute the charges for telephone service fairly and, equitably among all clagses of service and all sizes of exchanges. Some rates will be increased more than others, some will not be changed and some will be reduced. * In 1920 it became apparent that the revenues produced by the telephone rates then in effect were insufficent to meet the changed economic situation brought about by the war. Since that time, this Company has been seeking, before the Public Service Commission and the Federal Court, the relief it needs to protect adequately this vital public service.” During these rate proceedings, extending over a period of nine years, repre- sentatives of the Public Service Commission, of the City and State of New : York, and of the Company presented all facts and arguments pertinent to this case. These proceedings on which the Court based its decision repre- sent one of the most searching examinations ever made in this State into the affairs and service charges of a public utility. g Constant progress in dependability and speed of service has been made but it is obvious that progress cannot continue unless the financial stability of the Company is secure. This Company's program for the next five yeats contemplates an expenditure of approximately $600,000,000 for ex. pansion and service improvements. A fair return must be assured on the. capital required to carry out this program, if we are successfully to attract the necessary amount of new money. .. With the new rates in effect, we expect constantly to improve the service “fo the end that you will find your use of the telephone increasingly depend- able and satisfactory. . . ~ A‘rate pamphlet giving the principal business and’ residence'rates is being mailed to ‘all subscribers, i cE, .

An ending my last’ observations I ended them by speaking of those porters whom 1 named the indifferents, and who 1 said were respon- sible for ntost of the complaints with which the company had to deal in its car service operation, In making that assertion I didn't mean that all the complaints which came to the system regarding this service were to be laid at the door of the porters, as some of my fellow por- ters have interpreted, In any system as large as the Pullman service, with departments overlapping cach other and cach of these carrying its own group of employees, the human equation 1s too extensive to confine ali delinquencies to one particular group, Moreover, J was discussing members of the porter group, and not those of the clerical or other Pullman groups, Indifférents A Liability Therefore, 1 repeat, ‘porters of the indifferent type are the most Prolific agents of service omissions with which the Pullman manage- ment has to contend, The indifferents, in fact, may be likened to the drone bees in the porters hive, And, due largely tp the character of the service, those of this type are just as much a liability to their own group as they are to their corporate employer, Perhaps they do, but I seriously doubt if the sincere porters themselves fully appreciate the extent of the liability. These may not be held accountable for the: omissions of their indifferent brothers, but they certainly have to suffer equally many Of the penalties which are inflicted because of these omissions, ‘When, for instance, Porter Brown, who is so indifferent to his job that he allows Passenger Bigman to be carried by his station, Mr. Bigs man, may, but the chances aré nine to ten that he wont, reflect that after all it was an isolated case of indifference which should -not be charged to the rank and file of Pullman porters’ Unless the agrieved passenger happens to be very much out of the ordinary im disposition, his opinion regaeding porters in general 1s not going to be of a comph- mentary nature. 7 Even A Dollar Tip-Is Not Effective « *Not long ago a lady in a small town in New York State put hee mother, a very.elderly woman, aboard a Pullman car which was en- route for New York Cuy. The old lady was .to change from this car at Albany, N, Y., as she was going to Boston, After seeing that her mother was comfortably seated, she came out to the porter and said: “Now, porter, I am going to leave my mother in your care, She 1s very old, as you can sce, be sure that she is helped from your car at Albany, where she 15 to change to the Boston train, Here is a dollar for your trouble.” +. "Ma'am, yes, ma'am thank you, thank you,” beamed the bluc- coated one, as he pocked the paper bill, Well, Mr. Porter certainly made that tip a mockery. He never thought of the old lady until his train had crossed the Hudson Rive‘ Hridge and placed its nose, in the direction of New York City. In fairness to the porter, howeve?, he went, on his next trip to the town, to see the old lady's daughter, explained -the circumstances to her and “begged her pardon for his negligence. Bemg one of those types of citizens who were accustomed to méntal Kipses in servants, she told tum at owas “all right.” She had received a letter from hers mother saying she had arrived safely, although delayed somewhat by hts error * Porter Sleeps While Passengers Detrain Thé following incident occurred several months ag ng it as another illustratign of how’ indifferent, to I hese porters are: It was a train of six or more’ sleep: vas a New Yerk terminal, at.eight o'clock in the morni he six or more Pullmans, but one, was a white-coat vowed and grinned, as the occupants’ emerged, some pags with flustered faces, while others went away with 1s though something funny was being enacted thereit hrough the cars to see that “everything was ok,” the ductor couldn't find the porter of this one at first, and fhe porter had left all the berths down at that hour in t search ‘of he car revealed the porter fast asleep in onc per berths. : The following incident occurred several months ago.
