Explosion of Whiskey Building at 1635 Injures 30, Damage Twelve Colored School ChAdults Injured; 2,000 C Safety From Building: Twelve Negro school chigro adults were among the t that were injured Thursday when an explosion in a one-st 1635-37 Dean street, near Brooklyn, about 9.20 a. m., bac ture, smashed nearly all the of Public School No. 83, across the 2,000 other school children
Most of the pupils at this schools are Negroes and Italians. All of the children were led from the building without any panic. According to the police the explosives in the building being charged with illuminating gas that had been tapped to operate a whiskey still.
Looking For "Wilson."
At first the police placed the three most seriously injured colored persons under technical arrest after they had been taken to the hospital, but they were later released, and now the police are looking for a colored man known only as "Wilson." They are convinced he was the individual that rented the apartment on which the explosion occurred. The three most seriously injured were George Calhoun Brooks, 1637 Dean street, street, posse fracture of the skull, St. Mark's Hospital. Ella Graham Brooks, 35; his wife, 1637 Dean street, internal injuries; St Mary's Hospital. Levi Graham, Io, her son, 1637 Dean street, fractured leg and arm; Kings County Hospital.
Innocent Victims.
Police say that this family, who lived in the same building but in the next address, 1037 Dean street, were innocent victims of the explosion.
Of the 2,000 children in the school at the time, about 450 were on the Dean street-side of the building. Every window on this side was smashed, the force of the explosion blowing the glass into the classrooms. Windows in stores and homes for a block around were broken by the blast.
As the blast shook the school, Principal Maurice Garkinkel, white, tried to turn in the fire drill alarm, but it tailed to operate, he managed, however, to turn in a still alarm.
The state teachers, a number of whom are Negroes, were able to calm the children and get them out at the school in safety.
The calmness of the children and the teachers was in marked contrast to that of the colored and white residents of the district. Frenzied mothers who heard the crash spread word that the school was blown up, and there was a wild rush to evacuate. They purified all the effervescence to calm the hysterical mothers and fathers.
Found Parts of Still.
After searching through the Dean street building, Fire Marshal Bohny said he found parts of a brittle-gallon still. He also learned that the gas pipes had been tapped to the main under the garage at 101 Dean street. A rubber hose had been used. It leaked and filled the place with gas, which exploded. In all indications the still had water been.
Bethel Church Damaged.
Investigation by an Ae reporter pointed that several buildings along Thean street and Schenectady avenue were nearly demolished. Among them were the Bethel A M E street is on the corner of Dean street and Schenectady avenue. All the windows and doors were blown out and the entire building was the stationery store of Mr. Freeman colored, was also damaged.
Brilliant Scholar Hurt.
Among those injured was Ralph Brown 13 of 42 Schenectady average. He suffered a possible fracture in the skull cuts and brushes. He was taken to the Swedish Hosport. Young Brown was one of the brilliant scholars in the school and active in athletics. He had been attending the school for five years and was in Grade 6B. He has won awarded medals in track and all and was a Bloy Scout. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Brown of cared persons injured.

School Opened Monday.
Fourteen rooms of the school building were so badly damaged by the blast, that they were rendered unfit for use. Emergency squads of workmen were assigned by the Board of Education, the Department of Plant and Structures, and the Department of Public Works to rush the repairs, so that classes could be held on Monday. The police of the Atlantic avenue station, under Detective Lieut Abraham Goldquan, have been scouring the neighborhood looking for one "Wilson," whom persons saw apparently badly injured, stagger out of the wrecked building and walk away. They believed that he could not have gone far and is being protected by friends. The man rented the front apartment in the building from Hyman Aaron, white, the owner, on February 1.
David Spear Is Held.
David Spear, 40, a Negro, of 1041 Atlantic avenue, who said he is a harber temporarily out of work, was held by police Saturday for questioning about the still which exploded, damaging P. S. R8, wrecking two houses and injuring about 30 pupils.
Spear told detectives he didn't even know where Dean street was—the wrecked school was at Dean street and Schenectady avenue and that he had never operated a still anywhere.
He was arrested by Detective James Kane of the Atlantic avenue station and was questioned during the night. He denied that he had rented the house at 1045 Dean street under the name of Wilson and refused to give the detectives any further information.
N. C. PYTHIANS IN RECEIVER'S HANDS BY COURT Insurance Dept. Charges Rates Too Low For Its Outstanding Policies
Raleigh, N. C.-State Insurance Commissioner Dan C. Boley has notified thirty benefit and fraternial organizations operated by Negroes in North Carolina, that their insurance plans are not based on satisfactory rates, and he has ordered them to readjust matters before April 1 or they must cease doing business. In the meantime, the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, with headquarters at Greensboro, has been placed in the hands of a temporary receiver, D W Morton of Raleigh, by the Wake County Superior Court, as a result of a $40,000 deficit and failure of the grand lodge, at its last session to raise its rates to correspond to the insurance it had outstanding, the rates, said Commissioner Boley, being entirely inadequate
The grand lodge, it is reported has been torn by internal strife and dissension by efforts to levy extra assessments to bolster its financial resources. The insurance missioner has had it under surveillance for several years.
SAMUEL HAMILTON AND WILLIAM H. PETERS WHO HAVE SOLD THEIR GARAGE ABOVE FOR MORE SPACIOUS QUARTERS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR 250 NEW TAXI—CABS WHICH WILL BE DELIVERED IN MARCH. THIS IS THE LARGEST NEGRO OWNED TAXICAB COMPANY IN THE WORLD.
2 Negro Operators Buy 250 Taxicabs And Garage, Representing $500,000 Investment; Employ 750 People
From Small Start In 1916 William Peters and Samuel Hamilton See Business Grow Until They Are Now Largest Taxicab Company Starting in 1916 with two Packard automobiles for rental business and one taxicab, William H. Peters and Samuel Hamilton have seen their dreams come true, and today they are the largest Negro taxicab operating concern in the world, with a business representing a half million dollar investment, 250 special built taxicabs, and a working force of
more than 750 people.
On March 1, Messrs. Peters and Hamilton, president and vice president, respectively, of the Hamilton and Peters Operating, Inc., will move their quarters to 1 East 140th street, where they will have a garage large enough to hold 200 cars. The new company will be one of the largest independent fleet operators in the city, as well as possessors of the largest single unit of the new 1930 model Saf-T-Cabs. For the past two years, Mr. Peters and Mr. Hamilton have been operating a fleet of 51 Checker cabs under the firm name of Rite Rate Taxi Corporation from their garage at. 300 West 143rd street. They have sold these 51 cabs and the garage to Conrad Kelly, another colored taxi operator, who is now operating them at the former RiteRate address.
Will Use 700 Chauffeurs
The new working force of the Hamilton and Peters organization will be composed of 700 taxi drivers, 10 mechanics, 25 garage helpers. The office force itself will consist of Mr. Peters, Mr Hamilton, two cashiers, a bookkeeper, and a stenographer, representing one of the largest, if not the largest Negro concern in the world. Mr Hamilton who was born in Trumad, B W. L., came to this country about 30 years ago and in the due course of time became natural. Ayer various jobs he became a private chauffeur. Mr Peters who was born in Schenectady, N Y. came to this city at an early age, and he too had several jobs before he decided to become a private chauffeur.
Having bigger visions, Mr Peters on 1914, went up partnership with four other men in a garage rental business on West Lud Avenue and 63rd street. What was to become the gigantic operating company, however, did not start until 1916, when Mr Hamilton and Mr Peters formed a partnership and bought two Packard cars, for rental business and one taxicab. Their headquarters at that time was at Amsterdam avenue and 60th street, and they confined their efforts to taxicabs and private rentals.
The business flourished and in 1923 they bought 10 Yellow staxis and moved into their own garage at 15 West 140th street. About 8 months later they had 20 cars, operating under their guidance Business continued to grow until 1922 saw the partners operating 40 Yellow cabs.
Moved To 143rd Street
Business increased and they again moved, this time to 306 West 143rd street. In 1928 they were operating a fleet of 51 Cleveland cars. During this time the men who were working under them, formed the Harlem Chauffeurs Benevolent Association, Inc., with Hurley B. Turner, president, Iphip Dahney, vice president, Samuel Hamilton, treasurer, and William Peters, chapman.
The benevolent is operation is open to all taxi drivers and has a
substantial treasury. One of the principal benefits derived by members, who pay 50 cents a week in duties, is a weekly contribution in the event of illness, drivers receive $25 a week and $15 a week for the following three. If at the end of that time, the driver is still sick, he is made contributions from what is known as a Poor Box Fund. To further provide for their employees, they are making arrangements to provide their men free life insurance on a group policy that will pay the driver families $1,000 in the event of death. Should any of the drivers leave their employ arrangements will be made for them to continue their life insurance policies at normal rates.
More Drivers Needed.
More drivers will be needed, however, when the new cabs arrive Match 1 and the Hamilton and Peters Operating, Inc. are looking for steady and reliable men to apply for positions.
The partners are enthusiastic about the new cabs which have been especially built for their concern. There will be a special color scheme and all the cabs will be equipped to meet the specifications ordered by Police Commissioner Grover A. Whalen. They will have besides four doors and beated driver's compartments.
"Hard work" and efficient management have brought them to present success, the partners say Besides giving opportunities for more than 750 people to make their livings, the partners have also invested considerable money in the Relief Mortgage Corporation, a corporation whose purpose is to bring much needed relief to persons seeking mortgage and Mr. Hamilton is president of this corporation and Mr. Peters is a member of the board of directors. As soon as the partners take possession of the new garage on March 1, deliveries are to be made, and the complete order of 250 cabs is expected to be filled within a short time thereafter.
Slayer of Grace Trent Still at Large
Although a week has elapsed since Mrs. Grace Trent, 38 years of age, was shot down in front of her house at 108 West 141st street, no arrest has been made. Detectives Nelson and Connolly, who are working on the case, told a representative of The Age that they expected to locate the slayer at any four. The man the police are seeking is said to be one Vincent Scott, an extragender lover of the deceased woman According to neighbors, he met Mrs Trent on the street and a quarrel resulted. As she attempted to enter her house about 11 o'clock on Tuesday evening, February 11, the assaultian fired one shot from a 38 calibre rifle revolver. The shot pierced her heart and she died immediately. The slayer came before the crowd captured.
MAN HELD IN $5,000 BAIL AS FATHER OF CHILD BY HIS FOURTEEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER
Atty. Samuel F. Edmead Reported Jailed On Failure To Pay Estate Funds Appropriated To His Own Use
The last official act of Albert H. Vitale, before relinquishing his duties as a City Magistrate, was to hold one James Hendy, 38 years of age, in $5,000 bail on one of the most serious and unusual charges to come before the courts in recent years. Hendy will be given a hearing in the 12th District Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
According to Officer Thomas Kelly of the Children's Society, who is the complaining witness in the case, Hendy confessed to having had incestuous relation with his fourteen-year old daughter, a student at Junior High School 136.
Fall Revealed Condition.
The alleged relationship became public a few days ago when the young girl had a fall down the steps in her school. This fall, it is alleged, caused the girl who was in a delicate condition, unknown to her mother, to give premature birth to her child. This caused the mother to question her daughter closely and the result was the girl's admission that her own father was responsible for her condition.
Attorney Samuel F. Edmead of $21 Classon avenue, Brooklyn, was reported to have been arrested Saturday, February 15, and lodged in the Raymond Street Jail, after his appeal was denied from the decision handed down on July 5, 1928, in which he was fined $8,250, with interest amounting to $738.50, by Surrogate George A. Wingate in the King's County Surrogate Court. Edmead was scheduled to appear before the Grand Jury MondayO, it is said, but subsequent investigation
Harlem Ministers End Differences With Federation Greater N. Y. Federation Announces It Opposes All Segregation
When the Rev. Dr. William B. Millard, executive secretary of the Greater New York Federation of Churches, appeared before the Interdenominational Ministers Meeting, composed of Harlem Protestant ministers, and read a letter from the Rev. Dr. Ralph W Sockman, president of the Federation, setting forth that organization's aims, the way was paved for an understanding between the two bodies. The colored ministers recently passed a resolution condemning the Federation for an alleged attempt to discriminate.
After Dr. Millard read the letter from Dr. Sockman, the Rev. Dr. D. Ward Nichols, spokesman for the colored ministers, made an address unanimously approving the declaration and announced the renewal of all old relationships with the Federation.
Federation's Letter
The federation's letter read:
The federation's letter read
"Interdenominational ministers meet in New York.
Dear Brillherr,
"Owing to the situation which has recently arisen on account of articles appearing in the pulpit press, we desire to reaffirm our position of the following points
"We never have stood and do not now stand for the segregation of the colored people of this city. The same right of free movement belongs to them as to all others of our fellow citizens.
"We are opposed to race prejudice and desire to do everything in our power to remove it.
"We believe in the equality of opportunity and treatment of all people.
"We stand on the broad principles of brotherhood and Christian fellowship.
"We desire to work in the closest cooperation with our brethren in the colored churches in promoting closer fellowship between the colored churches and the other churches in the city, grazing how essential this cooperation is to the extension of the Kingdom of God in this city.
The wife and mother, although broken-hearted over the revelation, at once got in touch with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and this organization, through Officer Kelly, had the girl placed in Harlem Hospital and the father arrested.
Man Is Well Educated.
Detective Florence- McCroahan who made the arrest, states that Hendy admitted the relationship to him. He told the detective the relationship had lasted a year. The prisoner was taken at once before Magistrate Vitale, following the arrest on Saturday, February 15, and before fixing bail the Magistrate denounced the prisoner as "the lowest type of criminal" to ever appear before him. Despite the magistrate's statement, Hendy is well educated, and is said to have earned $150 per week as a technician for a wealthy Bronx physician, who is working on a cure for cancer. The Hendy family reside at 672 St. Nicholas avenue.

NEGRO DEMOCRATS ASK CURRY FOR LEADER IN HARLEM Say Present Policy Is Detrimental Both To People and Party
Inspired, it seems, by the achievements of the Republicans in the 19th Assembly District in winning their fight for majority leadership by the selecting of Col. Charles W. Pillmore as executive member, and of their partial success in the 21st A. D., a group of Negro Democrats, affiliated with Tammany Hall, have filed a petition with John F Curry, head of Tammany Hall, asking Negro, co-leadership in those two Harlem districts.
The association passed a set of resolutions declaring that there has long been imposed upon them "a segregated and apportive leadership . . . detrimental alike to the best interest of the colored people and the advancement of the Democratic party." The result, they say, is that the Negro voters have no "official standing in the Democratic party or proportionate political recognition."
Leader Curry was asked to remedy this by appointing in the two districts the positions to be filled, hereafter by the regular method of electing county committee.
* The resolutions were signed by Eugene McIntosh, executive member, Dr. Oma H. Price, president; John H Lovett, Robert A. Calblow and Irving A. Smith, vice-presidents; Albert Hawkins, secretary, Ilmer Wiggins, assistant secretary, Perry Brown, treasurer, Ernest Nickens, sergeant-at-arms.
HARLEM HOSPITAL STAFF IS REORGANIZED, GIVING PLACE TO NINETEEN NEGRO DOCTORS Changes Made Bring Many of Younger Group of Physicians Into Positions of Responsibility
Harlem Hospital is now manned by a staff of physicians, of which practically forty per cent. are Negroes. This comes as the result of a reorganization of the staff by the new Commissioner of Hospitals. Dr. J. G. William Greeff.

Lenox Avenue and 122nd Street
SUNDAY, MARCH 2nd at 8 p.m.
"Second Anniversary of the Organization of the Church"
In effecting this, twenty-three white and two colored physicians have been dropped, the later being Drs. U. Conrad Vincent and Marshal Ross. In making this radical change in the policy of administering affairs at the Harlem Hospital, Dr. Greec said the reorganization was based upon a report and survey made by a committee appointed last August of which Dr. George D. Stewart was chairman.
A Larger Representation.
The recognition move, giving to the Negro doctors a much larger representation than they have ever had, has stirred a lot of conflicting comment, for the reason that among the white physicians dropped are some of the most prominent men in the city, the most outstanding being Dr Louis Brieidman and Henry-S. Pascal, Dr. Friedman was senior visiting surgeon.
The new medical board is composed of forty-six members, twenty-seven whites and nineteen Negroes. They were formally organized on Friday, February 14, in the time of Dr. John F. Connor was named president, succeeding Dr. A. M. Shrady, who had been acting president since the resignation of Dr. Lewis K. Neff last July.
The other officers are Dr. Thomas A. Martin, vice president, and Dr. Louis T. Wright, secretary.
Had Filed Charges
Dr. Friedman, according to the New York Times, had filed charges of incompetence, inefficiency and poor surgical judgment, against Dr. John F. Connors, surgical director, which charges were not acted upon, it was alleged, by the Commissioner of Hospitals, Dr. Connors would not comment upon the charges, saying that any statement should come from Commissioner Greeff, who has made appointments and changes. Dr. Greeff's statement as to the reorganization was as follows:
"This election of officers followed a reorganization of Harlem Hospital based upon a report and survey made by a committee appointed last August, of which Dr. George D Stewart was chairman. I want very emphatically to correct the impression created that the Academy of Medicine was asked to sponsor this committee. Statements to the effect that Mayor Walker dictated some of the changes are wholly untrue. The reorganization is in the interest of the patients rather than when having aspirations for medical appointments." Dr. Greeff said he had read the charges filed against Dr. Connors and had investigated them, inferring that they had been proven groundless. The new hospital personnel is as follows:
Personnel of Staff.
Department of Surgery — whites: John F. Connors, C. S. B. Cassaba, Henry C Falk, H. B. Eisberg, Saul Ritchie, Philip J. Lipsett, Henry Scott; colored—L. T. Wright, P. M Murray, Ralph H. Young, Farrow R Allen, Abbre 'de L. Maynard, Robert S. Wilkinson and Albert S. Beasley, all Negroes.
The Department of Medicine includes Thomas A. Martin, J. G. M. Bullowa, L. H. Berliner, B. P. Stivelman, S. S. Paley, all white; Lucien M Brown, Albert H Armong, J. T. Gromady and Vernon A Ayer, colored.

Dr. Petioni's Statement.
Dr. Chas A. Petition, secretary of the North Harlem Medical Society, when approached on the subject of the changes, expressed himself as follows:
"There is no doubt that politics have been at the bottom of these changes. And it is clear that Dr. Louis Wright has had a great deal to do with the Negro appointments, a fact which was suspected by many members of our Society for some time past, and which undoubtedly led to his non-election once more to the presidency of the Society.
"While the colored community may have reasons to congratulate themselves on the greater representation which Negroes now have in the services at Harlem Hospital and on the Medical Board there, I feel that several appointments cannot be satisfactory to the majority of the colored doctors who either practice in the community, or who have held minor positions at the hospital.
Society Not Satisfied.
Further the North Harlem Society as a body cannot be satisfied at the changes because even at the present moment a committee of the Society has been awaiting word from the Commissioner in reply to representations made to him on behalf of the Society, in regard to the ousting of Dr. Godfrey Nurse, promotions at the hospital, and other matters. Dr. Louis Wright, as president of the Society, was ex-officio member of that same committee, and although he was publicly stated to have been consulted on these matters, he never took the Society either in consultation or in his confidence, nor even made them know that changes were imminent. Of course at a meeting some years ago I expressed the view that Dr. Wright would act more or less as he has since acted, which he promptly disclaimed. My idea of the ethics of an officer and a doctor is consequently at variance with his.
Subject To Scrutiny.
"These inexperienced men will be subject to the critical or hostile scrutiny of practitioners of the other race who will lose no opportunity to find reasons in support of their desire to exclude Negroes from such institutions.
"The outing of men like Drs Nurse and Conrad Vincent," the dental of promotion to many seniors in the out-patient department, and the appointment of veritable tyros may result in agitation and the resort to 'politics and knavish tricks' or other measures on the part of the disgruntled men which may militate the reputation, already not the best, of the Hospital, against the feeling of security and confidence on the part of both the patients and the staff which are essential to the carrying on of the best work for the community.
"I am satisfied with the appointment of Dr. Wright as secretary notwithstanding the observations I have already made.
"I expect the whole matter will be aired at the forthcoming meeting of the North Harlem Medical Society on Thursday, February 20, when a full attendance of members and other practitioners is anticipated."

The Week of February 22 Astrologically Considered
The Week of February 22 Astrologically Considered
The birthyear for February. 22 promises some real opportunities to the people of today to develop in established business, and to gain promotion in employment. The chest and throat should be guarded against colds. Some re-adjustment in the family circle will come to nearly every, one of today. Those who can use patience and good judgment, and especially try to avoid worry, can gain much in this birthyear to come. February 23 begins a birthyear that will require careful attention to financial and romantic matters that will come up, and those who do not try anything that is too radical can make headway. The employment business will need careful attention and the tendency to do too much in business and employment should be avoided. This is a year for patience. Family adjustments will come to every one of today.
The coming year for the people born February 24 does not promise success to those who cannot use patience and tact in dealing with superiors in employment. It will be very hard to get a new job. The opportunities that will come up will bring gain and success if used. February 25 begins a birthyear that will require a need for careful attention to legal matters, and those who can avoid them their troubles will certainly come out best. Some worry and trouble because of careless and thoughtless letters will come to nearly every one. The people of today will find the birthyear very pleasant if they try to give the justice that they expect from others.

Alderman Moore Visits Harriet B. Stowe, Jr., High
Alderman Moore Visits Harriet B. Stowe, Jr., High
Alderman Fred R. Moore visited Harriet Beecher Stowe Junior High School last Friday. He was escorted by Miss Kormann to a classroom where he was introduced to a group of pupils who are recent arrivals in our city. He was coronally received. Then he visited several of the rooms where the girls study the practical arts. He was much impressed with the opportunities offered the girls in these rooms, with the excellence of the work done and with the broad educational scope of the work.
In these splendidly equipped, modern shops the girls get a comprehensive course in practical arts, including industrial art, millinery, dressmaking, power-machining operating, box-making, flower and favor making. Each girl makes a model book in which she has the directions and models of the practical arts course for each term so that when she is graduated she has her complete course for reference. In addition to this, the girls study all the regular junior high school subjects, preparing themselves to enter senior high school, and after that, it possible to further educate themselves.
Mr. Moore regretted that he did not have time to visit some of the other activities of the modern, well-occupied building.
On the way out, he spoke briefly to the first-named group of pupils. He said, "I am interested in the class organization and the general atmosphere of the whole school. It is hard to believe that such orders like girls as I see here, could scream and pull, and push on the streets. I am also much pleased with the work of your practical arts department which I have just seen." After hearing about the thrift department he said in part, "Let me urge you to save. Learn to save your money—do not spend it all. Then when you graduate from this school, you can buy the necessities for high school and when you graduate from high school you will have money to make a start in your millinery or dressmaking business, or if you pursue a professional or teacher's course, you will have a start toward that."

is, better to stick to old and true friends. Those who have money should be very careful to put it in the bank, and not to lend or borrow. No investments should be made except through a reputable bank. Family adjustments will come to nearly one. This is a year for patience. An inheritance seems likely. February, 28 begins a birthyear that promises 'worthwhile gain and honor to those who can plan thoughtfully. Business and employment will bring worthwhile gain. The people of today can be their own worse enemy, and unless they stop worrying about calamities that never happen and attierl strictly to business the year will be a failure. This can be a very prosperous year.
Every one born in this week is ruled by the planet Neptune, and this mystic planet imparts the most best qualities of leadership and social service, or, on the negative plane, imparts the qualities that bring a strong desire for excessive drinking, gambling and absolutely worthless living. Some of the best musicians have come from this astrological sign, Pisces. Nearly every one born this week has a tendency to worry over trifles, and to imagine the worst of everything. Those who have been passing through so much unhappiness and trouble in the past two years will now find that life is beginning to be more pleasant. We have great treasures on the people of this week each learn: To do unto others just as they want others to do to them. They should not make promises that they do not keep.

BRIDGE STREET GIRL SCOUTS IN 1st APPEARANCE
The members of the recently organized Girl Scout Troop, No. 28, Bridge Street Church made their first public appearance at the church on Sunday-evening. They made a splendid showing. After the opening exercises, seven young girls who are members of the troop presented a sacred drama entitled, "The Challenge of the Cross." They had as guests Captain Frances Phillips of Troop 85 and her scouts, from Concord Baptist Church; and Captain Jordan of Troop 124 and her scouts, from Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church. Mrs. Ida Mae Matis is captain of Troop 28 She is the organizer.
The troop and their guests entered the church marching to the strains of "Onward, Christian Soldiers." Following a hymn and a prayer, Patrol Leader Bessie Robinson introduced Captain Hatts. She told of the organization of the troop, its purpose and its work. She then introduced the patrol leaders. They are Misses Susie Robinson, Bessie Robinson, Miriam Rivene, Pearl Davis and Hazel Tyler. The next was a solo by Miss Idamae Tyler.
The committee of men and women who are aiding in the financing of the troop were then introduced. They are, the Rev Edward E. Tyler, Arthur Q. Martin, Mesdames W. E. McCann, Mary E. Lawrence, Ella Woodford, Miss Maria J. Saunders and Miss Annie T. Jordan.
The troop was presented with an American flag by Mrs Lawrence. She did this on behalf of Mr. Martin who had donated it, he not being present at the time.
The response was made by Scout Gladys Washington.
This was followed by the reciting of the pledge of allegiance, the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner," and the giving of the Scout promise and laws.
The next was the drama. It portrayed very vividly an object lesson in Christian life. The lesson being that we should bear our crosses without complaint, looking to Jesus for strength and have faith in Him. Miss Susie Robinson had the part of the gospel of the "Esangel." This was the leading part, and she played it well. The disciples were Misses Beulah Joseph, Hazel Tyler, Gladys Washington, Hortense Bowers, Beverly Frazier and Blanche Courtrier, all of whom did nicely. A feature of the play was a solo which was rendered by little Miss Helen Wiggins at the beginning of the play.
Upon the conclusion of the drama, Mrs Mattis was given a token on behalf of the troop.
The last number was remarks by the pastor, Dr Tatler. The congregation gave the troop a literal collection to aid it in its work.

Brown, pastor of Eletc, Street A.M. E. Zion Church, to move the parsonage from next door to the church to Cumberland street, between Fulton street and Atlantic avenue. The New York Telephone Company has purchased all of the property on the east side of Bridge street, beginning at Willoughby street and running south to the parsonage. In building a foundation the walls of the house were affected, hence the removal of Dr. Brown. Dr. Brown, who is one of the outstanding clergymen of his denomination, has lived in this house since coming here from Washington, D. C., some years ago. He has taken an active part in the civic, political, community and fraternal life of the city in general and the downtown section in particular.
An Outstanding Force.
The moving of Dr. Brown to the hill section takes one of the outstanding forces for civic and religious righteousness-out of that district which was known as the First Assembly District for a number of years.
In the past twenty odd years that Fleet Street Church has been located on Bridge street, it has been a forum for our group, and in that time many of the downtown political lights held forth there. A few have departed and the rest have moved out of the district.
Those who are still alive but have moved out of the district are Dr.
and Mrs. M, C. Lawton, John D. Nixon, Ben. Williams, Bishop F. M. Jacobs, T. P. Moseley, "Capt." W. D. Adams, Wiley G. Overton, Turner Smith, William H. Wallace str. and others. In their day this district _was one of the banner Republican districts of the county, but since the Negroe have moved out it has gone into the Democratic column.
Churches May Move.
From all indications it is just a matter of time before Bridge Street Church, Fleet Street Church and Antioch, Baptist Church will have to sell or move, owing to the commercial activities in the district. A number of persons are expected
A number of persons are opposed to selling or removal for sentimental and other reasons. Some advance the argument that Brooklyn is fan-shaped and there is not one section that has the bulk of Negro population, so it is just as well to remain downtown, for you can get downtown from any point for five cents fare and people from Harlem can visit the churches for five cents fare. No matter which viewpoint is correct, it remains a fact that the district is fast becoming a commercial district, and not a residential one. The only church in the far downtown section of the white people that has been able to withstand the march of commercial progress, has been Plymouth Church, and it has tradition and a large number of hotels to drawn upon for a congregation.

Brooklyn Bandits Gag Porter and Loot Night Club Safe of $1,000
James McBride of 1446 Pacific street was so softly humming a turn about 4 o'clock last Monday morning in the new Platbush night club known as Henri's Rendezvous, in the Albermarle Theatre building, 1973-Platbush avenue, as he was cleaning up the club where he is a porter.
Suddenly his attention was called to a sound on the heavily cushioned carpet around the dance floor. He locked up and saw three white men. One pointed a gun directly at McBride and ordered him to put up his hands.
The other two pouced upon him, put a towel around his eyes, tore a chunk out of a soiled tablecloth as a gag, and then tied up his hands and feet with $^9$ heavy, rubber-insulated wire from one of the floodlights. After binding McBride, the bandits looted the safe, taking over $1,000.
After becoming helpless, the porter could only guess what was happenings. About 5 o'clock he was able to rub the tablecloth gag against the wall until it became loose and wriggled himself to an open window, where his shouts soon brought policeemen from the Snyder avenue police station.
According to the police the bandits came up the alley in the rear of the building. They made their escape in the same way.

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 22, 1930,
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 22, 1900,
ATTACKING THE SUPREME
COURT.
‘The nomination of Charles E, Hughes
for Chief Justice of the United States,
in the place of Walham H. Tait, resigned,
“furnished the occasion for a violent and
-Vitriolic assault upon the capitalistic ten-
dencies of the Supreme Court in the Sen-
ate last week, While nearly all the Sen-
ators who opposed the confirmation of
Mr, Hughes paid tribute to his learning,
ability and character, they insisted that
he would carry to the post of chief jus-
stice a sense of the superiority of property
rights as opposed to human rights. His
trend, oi mind and his associations as an
Sdvocate for corporations it was felt would
inchne him to lean to that point of view.
“For several days the fate of Mr,
Hughes’ nomination hung in the balance,
but wath fourteen Democrats‘ voting in
shis favor, he awas finally confirmed by a
vote of fifty-two to twenty-six, Eleven
Republicans voted against confirmation,
including Senators Borah, Blaine, Brook-
heart, Couzens, Frazier, Johnson, La Fol-
lette, MeMaster, Norbeck, Norris und
Nye. A of these, it will be noticed, rep-
resent Western states, and most of them
are what 1s known as insurgents or pro-
gressive Republicans. Now, why did
these Republican Senators oppose a iel-
low Republican and-a former candidate
for President for this judicial post, to pre-
side over the highest court of which he
was once an honored member?
_ Perhaps Senator Nye most aptly voiced
the cause of their opposition, not so much
to the individual himself as to the doc-
trines which it was thought that he rep-
resented and which the court has already
enunciated in former opinions. Senator
Nye held that the country had reached
the parting of the ways on two economic
theories vital to government: property
rights on one hand and the interests of
humanity on the other, Senator La Fel-
lette amplified th:s contention, by staung
that the power of the.court exerted in the
field of sustaining the mghts cf corpora-
tions to excessive earnings, “mght chain
future generations in links oi economic
bondage to those great aguregations of
wealth as effectively as if they were wn
the chains of slavery.”
In past years the Negro.race has had
cause to complain that many’ of the deci-
sions rendered by the Supreme Court fail-
ed. to vindicate the principle of human
rights, as set forth in the War amend-
ments to the Constittuion and that be-
cause of this negiect and the ab-
sence of the appropriate egislation
to enforce such rights, these amend-
ments have been practically annulled
and rendered of no effect. Now, we find
‘United’ States Senators making similar
accusations and opposing the choice of a
Chief Justice because he is supposed to
“incline to the support of property rights
&5 opposed to human rights.
All of which goes to show that a wrong
cannot be committed against one group
of humanity without its insidious results
recoiling upon the rest of the nation, ‘The
tonflict between property rights and hu-
man rights is one that will have to be
solved at some future day in the life of
the nation,

of Haitian independence, Pattiotic ap-
peals from Haitian organizations for in
dependence have been received by the
Negro press and given the widest ,circu-
lation, No force in America has been
more consistent and persistent than the
Negro press in urging that the marines
be taken out of Haiti and the republic
restored as an independent entity, “Vis-
inng Haitian patriots have appealed to
audiences of American Negroes to agsist
the Haitian cause and have alwaya re-
ceived a sympathetic response.
Now, despite all these evidences of
sympathy and understanding between the
two colored groups, one partaking of an
Anglo-Saxon civilization and the other a
Latin, we are confronted with.a situation
which raises the question’ of Haitian pref-
erence for white Americans oyer cdlored
Americans, If this preference was mere
ly the personal sentiment of Monsieur
Borno, it would be explainable upon the
‘ground that he has been pictured by the
Negro press as the instrument of the
American occupation for the exploitation
of his own country, Knowing that he
was regarded in, this light by most Amer-
ican Negroes, it would be periectly nat-
ural for him to prefer a commission con-
sisting solely of white men,
But there is a wider significance attach-
ing to this matter of ioreign people of
Airican extraction preferring to deal with
white Americans rather than with Amer-
jicans of their own color and racial origin.
It is the reflection of the attitude taken
by the white American, when he has to
deal with foreigners ish darker races
and to stifle or subdue*his color and caste
prejudices. This can be done by white
‘Americans when the stake of money or
power is great enough; the color bar can
be raised when the darker race is foreign
and important enough to justify the con-
cession. This was what Roger Babson
told the big business interests of the Unit-
ed States they must do, if they wanted
to secure the trade of South America.
‘Many Latin-Americans of mixed blood
would not come to this country to visit
Jor trade, because they were liable to be
‘discriminated against. because of color
prejudice. There followed a tendency
among white Americans to relax color dis-
‘crimination if the colored person in ques-
uo was of foreign origin.
Colored nationals of foreign nations
have all come to recognize this tendency
‘of white Americans to drop color discrim-
anations except in the cases of Negro
Americans, hence they argue that it is not
good’ for them to ally themselves too
closely with colored Americans. This
feeling, an instinctive effort at self-pro-
tection, may help to account for the fact
that the American commission to snvesti-
gate Hast 1s composed of five white com
missioners, The fact that a complement-
ary commission is to be appointed consist-
ing solely of American Negroes, to inves-
tigate educational- conditions, does not
change matters materially, although it is
probably intended to make the American
Negro think that his nose is not so badly
out of joint as it feels.
GOLD STAR MOTHERS ABROAD.
By an act of Congress passed last
| March, it was provided that a pilgrimage
of the surviving mothers and widows of
‘snldiers who died in the World War,
should be arranged to visit the cemeter-
ies in Europe, where their fotmer sons
and husbands lie buried, All expenses of
“these travelers are to he paid by the Unit-
ed States and cabin class accommodations
are to be provided at sea and first class
‘hotel accommodations both in New York
City and in Europe. As stated by the
authority of the Quartermaster General's
oftce at Washington, “In the preparation
of plans, especial care is being taken, that
‘colored women shall receive the same kind
lof accommodations that are being provid-
‘ed for white women.”
Originally it was estimated that some
ning hundred colored women would desire
to make the pilgrimage, but more recent
acai gives the number as only two
hundred, This has affected the original
[tentative pians, which provided for send-
ing all the colored women on one ship.
The military authorities have found, oF
inore likely’ made for themselves, many
‘difficulties in arranging fpr the pilgrim:
‘age ef colured women, which they consid.
er to be ane of the most delicate ques-
Uous pertaining to the pilgrimage, In
conformity with the dictates of American
ptemdicn, which fourishea most strongly
im mimy circles, they reached the gonelu-
clon that “greater satisfaction ean he giv-
ext to all concerned by conducting a nep-
arate pilgrimage tor colored women,”
“Ne consideration appears to have been
given the fact that these eoldiors fought
and ded tugether for m eommon cause,

these women will be away from lorie,
“the social element is one that will neces-
sarily enter into any arrangements made,
Careful attention is being given to ‘this
matter in order that those who make the
pilgrimage may get acquainted with each
other, and form friendships which will
help them to bear'the trip to the grave:
of their sons and husbands.”
This last sentence ought to-form the
strongest argument against the separation
of any group of thése mothers and wid-
ows because of differences of race or col.
or. All of their sons and husbands
fought for the same cause and many o!
them fell side by side on the same field
of battle, Any separation of their sur-
vivors is undemocratic and un-American,
when based upon such superficial differ-
ences as race origin and complexion, The
best way to arrange for the pilgrimage
‘of the colored Gold Star mothers and
wives would be to send them in group:
of twenty-five or so on the same steam:
ships as the rest of the-members of the
pilgrimage. af
HARLEM HOSPITAL CHANGES.
In so far as the reorganization -of the
staff of Harlem Hospital has increased
the representation of Negro physician:
among the staff, it 1s to be commended
as increasing the openings for racial ad-
vancement in the practice of medicine
At the same time it is well to observe that
the nineteen physicians appointed on the
new staff are almost without exception
of the best type obtainable for public ser-
vice and that the interests of the public
are not likely to suffer from the change
The change was made as the result of
a drastic shake-up, in which twenty-three
white docfors and two colored physicians
were ousted. .
While Harlem Hospital is a good place
to start a policy of this kind, inaugurat-
ing the employment of colored physicians
on a larger scale than hitherto attempted
in the city service, it is to be hoped, that
the policy will not stop with this insti-
tution, As their experience grows and
their special abilities become apparent, it
would be well if these colored physicians
could be distributed through the other
city institutions, where their services may
be employed to the best advantage. That
would be a public policy worthy of the
greatest and most democratic city in the
world.
While it has been rumored that politics
had something to do with this hospital
shake-up, we are reluctant to attribute
it to any such cause. The interests of
public health and public instruction are
too vital and too important to the well-
being of all the community, to be jeop-
ardized by becoming the objects of politi-
cal maneuvering The changes made in
the hosiptal service, viewed as a whole,
appear to work for the benefit of the pub-
lic and incidentally of the race. From
this point of view, Dr. Greef, the new
Commissioner of Hospitals, is to be com-
mended on his vigorous and radical ac-
tion.

Every so often the city editors of the
metropolitan newspaper's say to the most
promising . ofs their bright young men,
“why don't you go and write up Harlem?"
So the aforesaid bright young men go
out, and whether they visit Harlem or
not, grind out a number of columns on
the lights and shades, especially the lat-
ter, of Harlem whether the product of a
stimulated imagination or a more or less
casual observation. Usually cabarets and
night clubs are the burden of their song.
even if these institutions are but the bait
to draw jaded white pleasure seekers to
northern territory.
Once in a blue’ moon a conscientious
writer like Beverly Smith, who did a re
cent series of articles on Harlem for the
Herald Tribune, will receive, such an as-
signment and treat his subject with hon-
esty and discretion. When Mr. Smith
‘started on this last series of articles, he
ropped into Thé Age office and sought
such information as would facilitate his
ask and enable him to write with know-
ledge and authority. Such information as
/was available was gladly put at his ser-
‘vice and the result was that his article
gave more vitil facts and a completer
‘picture of the varying conditions of Har-
[lem than is generally the case with the
‘stercotyped newspaper account,
Mr. Smith did not try to be sensation-
al or to paint a picture of utter degrada:
tion and wholesale viec, He drew things
as he saw them, some good, some bad,
and all partaking of the commton qualities

hotel to feed the hungry and unem-
ployed, went to view the democracy
said to prevail there. He reported
what he saw under the headline,
“The Blessing of Poyerty:”
Sunday about two o'clock, when
we walked into the dungebn of the
hotel we found black and white seat-
ed together, and at peace. The table,
2s we went in the door, was occupied
by Negroes; the next by whites;
the next by Negroes, and so on and
‘on throughout. the big room sat the
two races cating together,
What had brought this about?
Poverty. The white.men who sat at
those tables were hungry just as
were the blacks. Racial antagonism
had been shed up on the street be-
fore the descent into the dungec.
As a result, peace, prevailed, and
we wondered whether the sate
white men would be willing to fol-
low such a course when the sun came
out and the snow melted. Surely
here is a. lesson in race relations.
Surely these poor whites have learn-
ed that food always tastes good if
your appetite is whetted just right,
and even if Negroes eat at the same
table: . =
Too much credit can not be given
Mr. Joseph Huckins, to whom hon-
or is’ due, for this fine humanitarian
work. It was his orders, we are in-
formed, that black as well as white,
must be accorded the same character
‘of tréatment, and that no discnmina-
ton would be allowed.
Tt 1s fine to know that while Mr.
Huckins was feeding hungry black
men in his hotel a Negro grocer, Mr.
R. B. Sparks, out on the east’ side
of the city, was feeding hungry
whites along with the colored who
sought his bounty, Truly, poverty
is a leaven out of which humanity
gets more than prosperity could ever
offer. The blessing of poverty is
brotherhood.
gir | Resooe Dune ventured
‘the assertion that if the dwellers on
earth suffered more, men and races
would draw closer together, whereas
prosperity breeds arrogance. Hence,
American prejudice and intolerance.
‘A. measure of the efforts being
made to raise the standard of living
among the Negro farmers of Texas
may be gathered from the following
account of a meeting of Extension
Workers held at Prairie View, as
published inthe Texas Freeman of
Houston:
The: workers of the Negro Divi-
sion of Extension Service, consisting
of 21 local home demonstration
agents, 23 local farm demonstration
agents, and 4 staff members, state
leader, state supervising, home de-
monstration agent, district agent and
secretary, met in a 3-day meeting at
Brairie View, January 20-22, ‘The
purpose of the meeting was to en-
able the local workers to come to-
gether to discuss matters of common
interest to them and gain new ideas
to aid them in their work to raise
the standard of living-among the Ne-
gro farmers of Texas, The program
was so arranged as to give actual in-
struction to the agents. Instruction
was given by teachers of the agricul
tural, home economics and mechan-
ical arta divisions of the school.
Tho meetings during the J-day ses
sion were so arranged that such in-
struction as would benefit men and
women workers alike, such a3 poul-
try rlang, gardenia and cement
mixing, was given-to the whole
group, while other meetings were
held in sections, the men receiving
one kind of instruction while the
women were recelving another. The
men were Instructed in step cutting,
rafter cutting, concrete mixing,
srowing {ced for dalry cows, ter
racing, ditching, livestock judging,
poultry judging, pecan budding, rope
making, harness fepalring,” mille reo-
ords, mile testing, ete. The women
had classes in technique of - giving
demonstrations, growing crops for
fairs, furniture painting and staining,
plcture framing, laying cement
walks, sewing handicraft, general
home’ improvement work, poultry
ralsing, dairy work and home sani-
tation,
The value of such meetings 8
thls, together with the practical in-
striction reeelved, should go far to
improve rural conditions and make
farming more profitable. |
In an artiele explaining "Why

printed from the Dunbor News in
the Suprome Liberty Guardion, an in-

His closing sentence is some-
what cryptic, when he said,
“If New York will let them,
they will find less conspicuous
opportunities elsewhere.” The
force and sincerity of Beverly
Smith's articles may be
gauged by the spark of opti-
mish that they evoked from
this editorial begun in slightly
‘oessimistic vein.

Men and women who are receiving

content in those days to work for
from $00 to $20 a year, The cost

everything else has gone way beyond

We recognized this fact and real-
ized that three companies operating
separately and singularly could not
hope to run as cheaply as one com-
pany with the same amount of busi-
ness and a reduced overhead.
This principle of reducing over-
head expenses is responsible for
many of the mergers taking place sn

‘There was once a mother from

ed of the Devil She brought thn
child to Christ to be healed. After
testing her faith by several rebuffs
the Master rewarded her finally by

“What does this mean to, us? Tt
means that no matter what your dif-

ATHLETICS
Before a holiday crowd of 3,000 cheering spectators, Howard lost a fast and well-played basketball gait to Morgan College of Baltimore, at the Rockland Palace, February 12.
Spencer of Morgan opened up the score three minutes after the toss up. Howard tied the score a minute later and gul beneath the basket by Taylor. Jones was getting the tap, but close guarding by Smith and Harris broke up the Morgan formations. Morgan scored four more points on basket by Clarke and Spencer. Howard same back with a goal by Hall.
From this point on, the first half assumed the aspect of a duel between Hall, off Howard and Clark, of Morgan. The ball would be passed with lightness like rapidity to one of the court. Hall and Cloke invariably ended these ailies by a neat finish. At hall time Morgangirl went off the floor with a three point advantage, 18-15.
In the second half, Howard got possession of the ball. Williams dribbled through, scored and was fouled in the act of shooting. He missed one shot from the foul line but made good on the second, tiring the score of 18-18. Morgan called for time out to collect themselves.
Play was resumed and Morgan scored six baskets. Experience began to tell. LanKey lones who had been having trouble keeping Taylor from scoring now opened up. Rap Wheatley, another big gun, started dropping tall for mid court. Howard tallied three more times via the foul route. With two minutes to go, Coach Hurt took out his first team Howard took advantage of this substitution to score a point every ten of the remaining seconds, Hall and Williams scoring three goals each.
Fisk Noses Out Strong Wilberforce Five, 29-27
By Frank Sherlock Render - The smooth working Wilberforce quintet invaded Fisk February 8 with high hopes of adding another to their lot of victories, but the highly spirited bulldogs were non-relenting and turned the tables to take a 29 to 27 victory. Undoubtedly, this was the snappest and classiest affair of season for the Nashville fans were on their tiptoes the whole forty minutes of play. Fisk jumped off to a lead when Yost threw in one from the center of the floor and was later shot by crippshot by Madison. The defense with such good but the Fiskes took advantage of their chances to shoot and won out in the last minute of play by a followed-up shot by Cox. Time after time the scores were tied and it seemed possibly anybody's game.
Fisk exhibited a new scoring combination in Yost, Wheedbeer and Madison who had scored 20 points to 13 for Wil伯force at the half being accurately fed by the good passes of Cox and Lawson. For Wil伯force Gibbs led the scoring with ten points although he was in the game only half of the time going by his foot the local route. Clark Lucas and Crisp were the leading roles for the Ohioans, with their set-ups and criss-crosses. Lineup Wil伯force 27:

Baseball Owners In
Philadelphia, Pa.—Following a meetog called by Edward Bolden, former president of the American Negro Baseball League, held here on Monday, it was announced that there would be no organized baseball in the East this season. Mr. Bolden also announced that Hilldale would have no club this season. He gave as a reason, the facts that their home grounds had been sold and that he was unable to meet the salary demand of his players
The abandoning of the League was predicted by The Age several weeks ago.
Only the Baltimore Black Sox, the Lincoln Giants and Bacharach Giants responded to Mr. Bolden's call for a meeting Cumberland Posey, manager of the Homestead Grays, had already announced that he would be the manager of the League this season. Alex Pompez, owner and manager of the Cuban Stars, also failed to respond to the call.

Cardinals Defeat 135th St. Y In Extra Inning Game
The Cardinals, claimants to the junior basketball crown of the city, added another victory to their unblemished record last Saturday at the West 15th Street Y when they defeated the Brooklyn Rangers 42-40. An extra period was needed to decide the contest.
The visitors had possession of the ball the greater portion of the first half and were leading at the end of the first period 18-12. The Rangers held their lead for a time in the second half until goals by Wood and Harris made the margin slimmer and slimmer. Finally a long heave by Harris ended matters up and the whistle sounded. Harris again came through with a beautiful score in the extra period. This along with a successful toss by Tally was enough to outdistance the visitors who had to be content with one goal.

Morgan College Five Wins City Title In Baltimore, Md
Baltimore. Md.-A "Dick Merrill" shot by Captain Jones, while the whistle was blowing, earned a 39-38 victory and the city championship of Baytimore Saturday, February 15. The defeated team was the Alerts, a white team. It took a dazzling rally in the last five minutes of play for Morgan to win, over the Methodists.
The game was hard fought throughout and marred by considerable roughness. The Bears drew first blood when Spencer hooked one under the basket. Then Stern, around whom the Schriber Brothers offense seemed to resolve, put his team in front by two baskets. The Methodists soon overcame the lead and battled on even terms with their opponents up to half time, which was 17-17.
Morgan opened the second half with a field goal but this lead was shortlived for the white boys forged ahead and managed to hold a 4 point lead up to five minutes before the final whistle. In the closing minutes Morgan uncovered a spectacular "Lonkey" Jones shot the winning basket from beyond the half way mark. He was also the high scorer with a total of 17 points. Richy of the Alerts was second with 13 points.
Ala. State Basketers Beat Tuskegee Five In Two-Game Series
Montgomery, Ala.—The Alabama State Teachers College five won a two game series from Tuskegee Monday and Tuesday nights, February 10 and 11. The first game was won by a 30-26 score and the other by a score of 34-5. Tuskegee pushed the Staters right up to the last minute of play in the first game and many times threatened to overcome the shaky lead commanded by the Teachers. In the second game, the Hornets returned to their old time passing form, and completely outclassed the visitors from Tuskegee. Murray of labama State was high scorer in both games.
Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-Wiley University of Marshall, Tex. will appear on Tuskegee's fall football schedule. Cleve L. Abbott, director of athletics, by whom the announcement was made, considers it fortuit that Tuskegee has been able to arrange for the three-Texas champions to come to Alabama this year. Negotations for a Wiley-Tuskegee football game have been underway for sometime and decision to play has just been reached. The game has been scheduled for October 11.

When friends and acquaintances met Friday evening, February 14, at the annual masquerade ball of Hamilton Lodge, No. 710. Inc., Grand United Order of Oddfellows, staged a street and Eighth avenue, the foregoing statement was usually made by at least of the sightseers. So often it was heard that it became a standing joke.
Whether it was one's first of twelfth time to have been present at Hamilton Lodge's widely-advertised and long established spectacular event, the opinion was voiced by all that it was the most extraordinary masquerade kind to do, a New York, doobildful if a similar show could be pulled off anywhere in the United States.
Rockland was packed to suffocation with participants and spectators. Hundreds of white couples looking for a thrill elbowed, pushed and shoved with colored onlookers and got an evelful. It was difficult to distinguish sex- Scores of males of pronounced effeminate gracefully disported themselves in beautiful evening goons. They might have been mistaken anywhere for fascinating shebias.
Many Types Present.
Some more wigs. Others resembled the mesmerizing maiden of boiled hair type. Not a few looked like delicate, painted dolls. White "girls" appeared to be in the majority. It is reported a number came from as far distant as Chicago. Many of the costumes worn were gorgeous, while in several instances the masqueraders walked and danced about displaying shapely limbs, wearing just enough to be within the law. There were also females rigged up in masculine attire. They too, were often mistaken for real sheikhs. On the hallroom floor it was difficult to tell who was who.
At The Alhambra Theatre
Craddock and Shadney, that classy couple from Broadway vaudeville stars are at the Alhambra. Louis Craddock's golden voice and Lena Shadney's glowing personality lend distinction to the musical comedy, "At the Barbecue." Dusty Pletcher is back, along with little Mantan Moerland from "Blackbirds," and these masters of eccentric comedy are in and out like a flash. Robinson and Ida Brown two favorites from Smallt and Viola McLon, the record singer, bring abundant talent as well as beauty and gorgeous costumes to the festivities.
"Foxy Uncle" the comedy-drama, deals with old Peabody, a rich banker, who tries to find out what his prospective heirs, his nephews and nieces, think of him. So, with the aid of his doctor, he "plays dead" and finds out that some of
them are greedy spendthrills while others are sincere and industrious. Clever acting is done by Percy Verwaven, Tom Moseley, Aristo Cain and Frances Sheppard especially. Juliette Compton is the star of the thrilling picture, "The Woman Tempted."
Next Week.
"Shell-shock" is the startling turtle of a drama of the after-effects of the world war which is coming to the Alhambra Theatre next week, beginning Monday.
"Shell-Shock" is a play that deals with human lives and human nature bitterly tried in the most tremendous conflict the world has ever seen.
By Moonlight" will be next week's musical comedy, Dusty Fletcher will be on hand with lots of new tricks and some new pals Ricardo Cortez and Claire Windor will be seen in the feature picture, "Midstream."
thrills of a Harold Lloyd picture plus enough comedy to lighten the seriousness of the entire spectacle all combine to make "Welcome Danger" an ideal entertainment.

Unions are in season, unions are in health. Unions are health. When eaten raw they are rich in one of our important vitamins and unlike many vegetables, they retain much of their vitamins content when cooked in sugar and white cooking will help to bring out their delicate flavor.

At The New Douglass

Starred in this delightful singing, dancing and talking picture are the world famous sweethearts, Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell, both singing and dancing in a manner that will keep you talking for weeks. El Brendel, the delightful comedian of the "Cock Loved World", almost steals the honors with his funny "cracks". Sharon Lynn uncovers a voice that is a revelation, fully, the two lovers, Janet Gaynor, an office working girl and Charles Farrell, a wealthy young bachelor, meet accidentally and fall ardently in love. The difference in their social standings make her doubt his sincerity and the many amusing complications that follow will keep you in a gale of laughter.
The song hits of, "Sunny Side Up" are almost too well known to mention "I'm a Dreamer Aren't We All," "You'll Find the Time, I'll find the Place," "Sunny Side Up," "Turn On the Heat," "If I Had A Talking Picture of You," and several other "hot" tunes. It is a sparkling romance surrounded by lots of color, marvelous dancing, plenty of singing and sensational chorus work. If you want to see bright, senticulating entertainment that will make you
At The Roosevelt
"Hell's Heroes" the remarkable and unique drama of "life in the raw" is coming to the Roosevelt talk screening this Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, February 22, 23, and 24, as a special holiday attraction.
This sensational story is based on Peter B. Kyne's novel "Three Godfathers," and its plot deals with the reactions of three western bad men when they find themselves with a new-born baby on their hands in the midst of the desert.
They had promised the childmother before she died, that she would take the baby to the little frontier town of New Jerusalem. A killing trip across the desert awaits them, and they know that at New Jerusalem, if they ever get there the hangman's noose is waiting also. What do they do?
"Hell's Heroes" has in the cast Charles Bickford, Raymond Hattman and Fred Kohler, who give amusing characterizations as the three bad guys. Here is one picture that the member of the family can afford to pass up.
At The Odeon Theatre
Cecil B. DeMille's first all-talking dramatic sensation "Dynamite" will be the feature attraction at the Odeon Theatre on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, February 24, 23, and 24.
Vitaphone has brought marvelous singing and dancing productions to the screen, but never a drama so gripping, so breathless, so romantic as "Dynamite," Cecil B. DeMille became one of the world's foremost directors by his production of "The Ten Commandments" and "The King of Kings" "Dynamite" adds immeasurably to his fame and places him in the front rank of producers of great talking pictures.
Conrad Nagel, Kay Johnson, Charles Bickford and Julia Faye are the stars.

brace members in the N. A Mt
Ay and fled his application with
the necessary fea, Lo
Alter the acceptance of his appli-
cation, “Bones” was a frequent vis-
ftor to hls prospective “home” *
Having been requisitioned by an-
‘other booker to get some musicians
for an engagement, Bonelli claims
he hired them direct, told them te
Price of the engagement, and book-
ea them on their acceptance of the
price.
Tho date arrived for the job and
ft was played by the original men
booked and the musicians Were im-
mediately paid by. ""Bones,” who
fhimself played andrled the job, us:
ing bis “bag” (usted.
‘One of the musicians avers Nr.
Bonelli did state that he (the play-
er) had Worked the same place and
had received one dollar more than
“Bones” had paid him,
No further discussion and none
‘of the other musicians complained.
Subsequently on Bonelli's en
trance to the 'N. A. M. wy he state
he was “jumped on by three mem-
bers of the N. A. M. A and se-
verely criticized for “cutting” the
Imusicians’ pay.
Bonelli says he is surprised and
disgusted at the attitude of the
members of a club in which te wa:

giving hum no voice to explain the
Situation to these boisterous accu

who played the job were squarel
treated, knowing their pay. before
the job was played, having received
in excess of the.minimum price pre-
sented by Local 802 and the men
should not hesitate to file charges
against him in the local sf they wer
underpaid.
Bonelli says he resents itd
charges of unfair dealings which
‘may tend to injure his well known
good reputation.
Now to close with Mr. Avbre
Brooks. Aubrey was asked in this
column weeks ago why he failed
fo publish the names df other ‘can-
didates running for office with Bert
Hall as members of the Trial Board
Local 802. Aubrey, as editor of a
periodical, had mentioned Bert’
name but had neglected to mention
the names of the other two candi-
dates. The office "for which th
three wert running was not Son
petitive—a musician voting for al
three would not have injured the
chance of election of any one oi
them. Aubrey has conunuous!;
dodged and evaded the specific
question, at no time Writing an aM
Swer to the question
In the Febguary issue of his peri
odieal, Editor Brooks has again’ re
ferred to the matter by making an
unsubstantiated, erratic statement
impugning this writer by clarming
that "Minton and Deacon Johnson"
made us mm “like hell.” and “stop-
ped your woof-poofing.””
The article writen by Aubrey was
handed to both Minton and Deacon,
who carefully read t+
Minton. said “T'don't know what

Deacon's reaction was, “I wonder

So, Aubrey, you will have to go
farther afield to get cohorts to a:d
you. Why hang out the distress

Apex Head Explains Recent Changes In Company Policy Here
Almost all of the 683 hairdressers and agents for the Apex system of beauty culture in the Metropolitan District, were present at the Apex Beauty College, 200 West 135th St., at the call of the founder of the system, Mrs. Sara Spencer Washington of Atlantic City on Monday evening. Recently Mrs. Washington issued an order for forbidding the system to be taught by private teachers in their shops, despite the fact that many of them possessed teacher's certificates from the Apex Beauty College. This order caused considerable dissension among the ranks of the agents but after lengthy addresses and consult, enable discussion, lasting until far beyond midnight, the whole matter was threshed out to the satisfaction of the agents.
Addresses were made by Mrs Clarice Walker, field worker; Assistant District Attorney Thomas B Dyett, who is counsel for the company; Hugh I. Nanton, business manager; M. Robinson, chemist, and Mrs. Washington, W. P. Dutrieille, spokesman for the Association for proposed Mrs. Washington with a number of questions, regarding the status of those who had been teaching in their homes. Mr. Dyett announced that the Apex Success Co. Inc., had been formed to take over the business of distributing the products of the Apex Hair Co. He said that these products would be sold only through the agents, and not in dress shops. He also stated that $30,000 worth of common stock in the company had been issued and the agents would be given the opportunity to share in the profits of the company through purchase of this stock
It was explained that the principal reason for the effect against the private teaching of the system was, because so many people were taking the course that those who were teaching indiscriminately were making harmful competition for themselves and other Apex students, who were old, the Apex System of Beauty Culture has grown to considerable proportions throughout the East. According to Mr. Nanton the company propose expanding its activities to include the whole of the country.

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYEES
By JAMES H. HOGANS
PULLMAN COURTESY
Pullman courtesy, which is one of the service features on which the Pullman organization, as every one of its supervisors will tell you, sets a high price, and whose observance the organization declares should be exercised by all its employees, on all occasions and under current circumstances recently been questioned as to its consistency in the matter of civility.
The question concerned The Pullman News, the family organ of all the big and little members of the Pullman industrial household; and was brought up by a man who is also a newspaper man.
This man, who is connected with an influential New York journal, publishing items regarding the activities of these members and their families that the Pullman News accorded a certain courtesy to some of these members which appended to given to the other members. Plainly put, the question was this:
Why was the common title of "Mrs." and "Miss" less used when reporting the activities of women relatives of Negro employees of the plantation, than the usage of these same titles when the of women relatives of white employees, of practically the same working status as the Negroes, were mentioned? He had, he added, scanned the pages of the Pullman magazine at various times and discerned which discrimination which he had noted.
The conversation was with this writer. In reply to the question, I told him that that was a feature of the magazine to which I here corresponded, but that I thought he was somewhat in error in his opinion. Well, it may not, he said, he the policy of the magazine to discriminate in the matter, but the employees who send in those notes certainly colored women, and "Miss," when mentioning colored women.
In reply to that comment, I reminded him that the Pullman Man carried the activities of all Pullman employees, and that this building was to be expected in the items that pertained to Negev. He agreed with me there by saying he wasn't including the South for he was well aware of its attitude towards the Negro. Nevertheless, I think I left him unconvinced that this courtesy was sectional, and not general. As I said, however, I had never paid that feature of the magazine any attention before, so to my surprise the terrorist wasn't general. I decided to give the pages of this organ a thorough reading. I am convinced that it is not. I have before me now a current issue of the magazine. On page 399, under the heading of "Portraits, Chicago South district this item is to be observed: "We were here at the station: "Mr. C. Hamilton in a street car accident at Kansas city, recently at I-80 she has improved."
On page 350 "Porters' items from Chicago Central district, Congratulations are extended to N. Years, who was married to M. Imaal Imal from the embassy Page 352 "Porters' items, Grand Rapids, D. W. Mills requested a trip to Hegela, and a certain lady left for Florida some time ago, we wonder if they will be coming back together.
"Self-manipulation and the Negro," on February 12, admirers of the tama in abstinence, Frederick D. Lissé gathered at the Charles Street church to do honor to his memory. Speakers included Rev. A. S.

On Wednesday, February 12, Assistant Corporation Counsel Janet Ranney placed a wreath on the statue of Abraham Lincoln on Ranney represented Mayurley.
Memories of Lincoln's time were brought to the pupils of the Pierre School, when old blue umbrellas jumple part in the Lincoln day program. The Senior Credit Union received permission from the Bank Commissioners to allow the members waves to join the union. This news was gratfully received by the members.
Mrs. Edward C. Coales and his daughter, Jeanne Lola, of the Holdland city, joined the city Wednesday, February 12, to join her husband, who is physical director of Lincoln High School in Lansdale, Indiana.

Boston and branch welcome you on one and only one Wednesday and band their city. Monroe Williams of New York City was a visitor at the home of J. W. Williams. He returned to Washington, D. C., on Monday.
From the Boston Southern district, page 355, this item is noted: "The women's auxiliary of the P. P. B. A. joined in making the alfaf (it was a testimonial to a re-turnage present) Mrs. Foulk a bathrobe on behalf of the auxiliary." In the Washington district notes, the charity work of the Ladies Auxiliary of the P. P. B. A., during the past Christmas, is mentioned with this addition; during the current season, Cumber (left) president of the Auxiliary, and Mrs. R. G. Rhodes, secretary, starting out to distribute some of the baskets". A picture of the two officers with their Christmas baskets follows the item. The names of other members of the baskets are given, and each one is mentioned with the title of "Mrs." In the Kansas City note, the wife of Porter D. G. Emery is mentioned as Mrs. Emery; and in the Salt Lake district's column, it is learned, Mrs. S. Douglass, alfaf, Mrs. S. Douglass, alfaf, to chorester for consultation has returned, and is in much better health."
Scanning, however, the Southern districts notes nary a "Mrs." or "Miss" is to be seen in the "Porters" section. Wherever sex is noted, it is Porters So and So's. It is also from the Atlanta district, laundry department, evidently, white workers Mrs. and Miss are freely used in The News reports. Yet, I would not say this courtesy hurdling was a general thing with the magazine, in as, as I thought many of the newspapers' age is in infancy. The Pulman News did print caricatures and plues of Negro life, but this was protested by some of the Negro employees with the result this discrepancy was discontinued during February's issue as an example, the charge of discrimination against the Pulman organ doesn't appear to be sustained or justified.
Mott Haven Yard News
My, oh my, what changes time and tide have wrought, that is, in the estimation of some porters in this district. Or, another way of saying it, but, gracious me, how the mighty have fallen in recent times. Years ago porters running out of this terminal actually shed tears or joy when they were assigned to such trains as the New Haven's brokerbooker, Express and the Middletown porters, now, none but the most hardy wish to have anything to do with these New England speeders.
Only recently, an extra porter—just think of that—a recruit, begged that he be not assigned to servicing the terminal points, asked why he replied "Porters who run on those trains are welcome to their tips. I'll prefer the use of my legs." He had reference to the recent order that porters operating on those two trains must stand continually between the terminal points, New York and the Beau City.
The head sign-out man at Mott Haven is rather an important person with the extra porter. Moreover, he is an object of feelings. He is either heartily delighted Henry Rohrsben, better known as "Hen" by most of the extra boys, is no exception to that rule. But Henry happens to be in the latter class with the boys.
There is at least one Pullman official who finds the column "Things Seen, Heard and Done Among Pullman Employees." in The Age interesting. This official is C. C. Logan, head Pullman supervision at Mott Haven Vards. Entering his office one day last week, this gentleman deeply absorbed in the weekly items of the column.
Another well-known and well-hiked veteran is on the seriously ill list. He is H. P. ("Pink") Darden. For several years the available "Pink" has been bothered with on of his eyes. This eye has become so badly affected of late that its removal is necessary. To do this, the former P. E. P secretariat is suffering from a severe attack of pleurisy. The sick man lives at 402 West 153rd street.

We often wonder if it is true that peanuts have a great food value, as some people claim. Judging by what we see and hear there must be some truth in it. We have noticed from time to time that some of our Congressional Limited crews include in their lunch a bag of peanuts. Some of our new men are beginning to stray away from their interests, even though we do not matter what you tell some people, it don't do them any good.
We often wonder why some of our young porters always try to make believe that they have been in the service a long time. Boys, the minute you start to talking, anyone with experience can tell you are about the service when they get off the cars. They are too tired and if you give the service required, on a Pullman car, you will have something else to talk about. Think this over and stop so much dead heading and so much "I told conductor so and so that." was a man and I want to tell you that if you carry yourself as a man and do your work as a good man would do, I am of the opinion that you will have no cause to complain about being treated any other way than right. But if you sit in a section and let your car get dirty, you ought to know that the conductor is going to take you to the car; and he doesn't always say if in the kindest way. And when you to think it over you can hardly blame him; for any man who would sit down and wait for someone else to tell him to get up and do his work, don't deserve much consideration. Remember if the conductor allows you to walk the road with a dirty car, he will be halleled on the carpet and handed a reprimand and five days book suspension which is enough to make anyone a bad man, more especially when it is the other fellow's fault. I must call your attention to a fact. You have certain duties to perform on the road and do not perform these duties you will be taken to task in regards to same. So watch your steps and get on the job and be real porters.
H. W. Stalling, our sign out clerk was called to Madison, N. J., February 12, on account of the death of his cousin, Patrick Stallings. We extend to him our sympathy.

Tenants told detectives that Evans loaded the elevator with large refuse cans each morning and then went to the top floor where he began collecting garbage from the various apartments. It was believed that the ceeman, who was on his way to collect ice bills, was helping the porter.
It is believed that the cans shipped out of place as the elevator passed the first floor and as the car started up to the seventh floor the cans ripped off the doors from floor to floor. The automatic control on the elevator had been set for the seventh floor but it is thought that the men control decided to try their luck by jumping from the car at the fifth floor. Both slipped and fell down the five floors to the bottom where they were almost instantly killed.
Judge Saves "Fourth Offender" From Life Sentence to Prison
Judge Saves "Fourth Offender" From Life Sentence to Prison
William Poppore, 39, giving an address of 22 Bancroft place, was saved from life imprisonment on February 13 when County Judge Mel anghilin accepted from him a plea of guilts of petty larceny. Poppore had been indicted for burglary on the third degree. On February 13 he had entered an apartment at 1700 Pacific street and had taken a pair of trousers. He was caught leaving the premises by the tenant Olive Carty. Inasmuch as the police record of Poppore showed he already had already served two terms in Sung Sing for burglary and one in the city prison for grand larceny, Judge Mel anghilin would have been compelled to leave. He had Poppore gone on trial and been found guilty of a felony.
I am firmly convinced" said Judge Melangin in accepting the misdemeanor plea that it is in cases such as this, a judge is expected to use ordinary intelligence and exercise a sense of justice in accepting such a plea as will not make mandatory a sentence of life imprisonment. Judges will lend little cooperation to the task of solving the problem of crime and the criminal by "buller stamp" dispositions based neither on intelligence nor justice.
The Rey Dr Benamu S Ryland, for many years pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church of Flushing, Long Island died Monday afternoon, February 17, after a lingering illness. The body will be in state at the Flushing church on Thursday but funeral services will be held Friday afternoon, at 1 o'clock from the Musselman Baptist Church, with the Rey Dr A Clayton Powell, pastor, officiating interment will be at Woodlawn Cemetery under direction of Undertaker Mahood. He leaves a widow and several other relatives to mount his passing.

THE NEW YORK AGE
Apostolic Church Takes Over a Southern School
The Rt. Rev. R. G. Lawson, founder and first bishop of the Church of Christ of the Apostolic Faith, is in the South this week completing arrangements for the taking over of a large piece of property in Southern Pines, N. C., for an industrial school under auspices of his denomination.
The property, formerly known as the Industrial Union and Orphanage of America, occupies two city blocks in Southern Pines. The union and orphanage was founded by the Rev. Mr. Henderson of Boston, who recently died.
Before leaving, Bishop Lawson informed The Age that the orphanage would be continued, but that the other part of the institution would be converted into a regular industrial school, and Prof. H. Hill, principal of the high school of Clifton Forge, Va., would probably be selected as the head of the new institution. The bishop added that he would personally supervise the activities for a while, and would seek to raise an educational fund for its maintenance.

At the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Sunday morning, February 16, the Rev. J. R. Henderson, the former assistant pastor, preached from Judges 5.20. In his discourse, he outlined the benefits of getting on the side of right and of the impossibility of keeping right down.
Among the many visitors at this service, were Mrs. C. Johnson, daughter of the late Rev. Wisher, founder of this church; and Dr. and Mrs. Morris of Jersey.

The assistant pastor, Rev. A. A. Corpure, preached at the evening service from Matthew 11.28. Subject, "Coming to Christ." He-spoke of the difference between physical rest and spiritual rest and emphasized that the invitation was extended to all mankind.
Card of Thanks.
ARD OF THANKS
VEAL take this opportunity to thank my friends and fraternal organizations for their kind sympathy and floral offerings at the recent death of our beloved one James Veal.
"AWAY"
I cannot say, and I will not say
That he is dead, He is just away
With a cheery smile and a wave of
the hand
He has wandered into an un-
known land
And left us dreaming how very
fair
It needs must be, since he linger-
ers there
And you—oh you, who the wildest
yearn
For the old-time step and the glad return
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of There, as the love
Of Here
Think of him still as the same, I say
He is NOT DEAD—HE IS
JUST AWAY
