Funeral Bill Unpaid, Undertaker Digs Up Body, Regains Casket and Returns Body To the Family Home
Suffolk, Va.—The pardoning by, Gov. John Garland Pollard on March 20 of Thomas, E. Cooke, leading understater and one of Suffolk's most prominent Negro citizens, brings to a close one of the most peculiar incidents that has ever happened.
Failing to receive payment for the bering of an a body, after repeated demands upon the surviving relatives, Mr. Cooke applied to the Suffolk health authorities, secured a permit for disinheriting the body, removed it from the coffin which had not been paid for and returned the body to the home of the family.
Then after the family had raised money enough to secure reburial by Mr. Cooke, of the body, the understater was arrested for unlawfully moving a dead body after it had been buried, and after two days' battling over legal points, a jury, armed a verdict of guilty, Mr. Cooke, thereupon sentenced to six years in State prison.
While a motion to have the verge set aside was pending, a group of interested citizens, more than a thousand strong, appealed to Gov. Pollard, and the State Executive granted an unconditional pardon, as if freeing Mr. Cooke, restoring him to his family and to full citizenship.
Story of What Happened.
The story of the incident began July 4, 1929, when Mrs. Kosa Jenne, an aged resident of Suffolk, died. The family called in Cooke, who made arrangements in the funeral with the dead woman, daughter and grandson, Mrs. Sophie Goodman and Jimie Goodman. The body was interred on July 7 in Balm of Gilead Cemetery. The cost of the funeral totalled $10, and Mrs. Goodman had an insurance policy on her mother for $10 intended to be applied to tuition charges. The insurance company gave a check for the amount, and Mrs. Goodman entrusted it to son, Junie, for payment to Mr. Cooke. Junie had other ideas, and she was invested in a second-hand automobile, Mr. Cooke's subsequent requests for payment of $20 bill were, in consequence, not applied with.
Exasperated at the manner in which he had been treated, and agitated especially by the sight of the boy gagging riding around in the mine paid for with his grandfather, and the man finally told the family that if his bill was not paid he would dig up the body and recover his coffin.
Finally Digs Up Body.
Repeated demands failing to secure a settlement, Mrs. Goodman Lairing she had no money and could not pay the bill, Mr. Cooke sent, on July 29, to the health authorities, and secured a permit to removing the body, giving no reason for doing so. Finally, after taking other rattle demands, on August 22 Mr. Cooke went to the court and had the body dug up, putting it to his undertaking parlor. The body was taken from the body dug up, moving it to his undertaking parlor, body was taken from the casket, put in a dead basket and carried to the home of Mrs. Goodman and her son, placing it in a basket which he put by the front window in the parlor.
Then he left the body with the parish family. Later, the husband of one of the granddaughters of the deceased woman mortgaged this home, was paid, paid the bill, and laid Mr. Cooke rebury the body. Then followed the arrest of Mr. Cooke, at his first arrangement before a magistrate the case was dismissed Later, however, the commonalty with attorney, Charles B. Woodson, alleging that the State was not represented at this first hearing going to his absence, moved have to be reopened and asked the Newfoundland County Grand jury for an indictment under Section 4.22 of the Code of Virginia, asking for a felony to unlawfully move a felony already buried, the common penalty being five years in the penitentiary.

---
Paris, France—Next Wednesday, April 9, would have been the second anniversary of their marriage, but divorce has ended for on Thursday, March 27, Yolande Duoibis Cullen, daughter of Ilar, and Mrs. W. E. B, Duoibis of New York, obtained a divorce decree from her poet husband, Countée Cullen, son of Rev. and Mrs. F. A Cullen, also of New York, on charges of desertion. This divorce ends the romance which two of the leading Negro families in the country. The couple were married April 9, 1928 in what was one of the biggest social events of the season. Both have a wide range of friends and acquaintances, due to their popularity and social standing, and their marriage was looked upon as one
Mt. Vernon Girl Now Leading The Westchester Popularity Contest
---
A big surprise was spring when the votes for the third week were counted in the Westchester County Popularity Contest in which eight beautiful girls are vying for the crown of Miss Westchester, Miss Stuart of Mt. Vernon, who rina second last week, boosted her total to take the lead this week with a total of 2100 votes. Miss Zelda Gibbs, who was first last week, is second with 1860 votes. Elizabeth Howard of Betham next with 940 votes and Helen Gibbs of White Plains who was unfortunate in being taken suddenly ill during the week was not able to increase votes but supporters in her town and expected to show a decided increase next week over her present standing of 700 votes. Dorothea Gee of Tuckahoe who just entered the contest sprang a surprise by bringing in 680 votes.
BOUTTE'S DRUG STORE IS SOLD TO BENJ. SIMON Dr. Boutte To Devote His Efforts To Manufacturing Cough Remedy
The Boutet Pharmacy, founded in 1920 by Dr. Matthew V. Boutte, who served during the World War in the only Negro officer attached to John I Pershing's staff in France at 2399. Seventh avenue, corner 1872 street, and which has become one of the best patronized enterprises in Harlem, has been sold to Benjamin Simon, PhG, who will continue its operation.
Dr. Boutte found it necessary to dispose of the retail drug store because of the increased demands that are coming to him for his own product, "Bronkine," a cough preparation which he began manufacturing in small quantities in 1925, and for which the present demand totals thousands of bottles a year. During the years one of the largest corporations in the country has added "Bronkine" to its hospital remedies, and the demand from other sources has convinced Dr. Boutte of the advisability of centering all of his time and effort upon its compounding off a large scale.

He built up a large, and successful drug business in Harlem, and made him a successful pharmacy in laurel. The eldest of his 1928 and devoted all of his time
of the outstanding social events.
At the time of their marriage, the former Miss DuBois was a school teacher in the Baltimore public schools, and her famous husband had just received a Guggenheim Fellowship to carry on his poetic efforts. Shortly after the wedding they left for France where the poet was to carry on his work.
Soon rumors began coming across the Atlantic that all was not well with the newly-wed couple. The rumors were finally affirmed when it became known that the couple were not living together. Their separation is said to have been caused by incompatibility.
And then Yolande returned to the United States alone and now the chapter is ended with the news of the divorce decree.
Eleanor Webb of Yonkers follows closely behind with 500 votes while Virginia Griffin reported 400 votes. The New Rochelle Federation Club has not named a girl as yet but it is expected that an independent candidate will be named shortly. The people of Westchester, Counties have shown unusual interest in the campaign of the县 Federals of Colored Women's Clubs and are boosting it to an unexpected degree. The contest which started March 15 is for the purpose of naming one of the eight beautiful girls entered in the contest as Miss Westchester and when the campaign closes on May 15 the most popular girl of the eight contesting towns will be crowned. The contest is still too young to predict who will be the support of the towns is giving their candidates, unexpected developments are looked for next week.
to the Harlem store. He recently installed a magnificent glass and marble soda fountain and lounge stand at a cost of several thousand dollars, and he had an unusually large ice cream trade. During the ten years of operation, he has filled nearly 150,000 prescriptions, besides having a large trade in other drug store accessories.
Dr. Houtte fitted up a laboratory in the basement of the building where his drug store was located, and there he carried on the manufacturing of "Bromkine". He has made arrangements with the new owner to continue occupancy of this laboratory until satisfactory new quarters can be secured.
Harlemites will regret, the passing of one of its most prominent figures from the retail drug business, but hope that his benture into the wholesale field, manufacturing his own product, will be entirely successful
Arkansas Supreme Court Upholds White Primary
Little Rock, Ark—The rules of the Democratic party in Arkansas, denying Negroes the right to participate in party primaries, were upheld by the State Supreme Court on March 24.
An appeal taken to the higher court by several Negro members the Democrat party, contending their exclusion from Democratic primaries last fall was a violation of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the Constitution of the United States, was denied.
In denying the appeal, the Supreme Court declared that no State law had been passed depriving qualified electors the right to vote on account of color, but that as a party rule with which the State was unconcerned, did this, the appeal was, without the jurisdiction of Arkansas courts.
JAMES JOHNSON
CONVICTED FIRST
DEGREE ARSON
Elloise Doggett, Charged
As An Accomplice, Is
Freed By Jury
James Johnson, 27, was convicted of first degree arsonhp a jury before Judge Norris oenKing in Part 2 of General Sessions Tuesday, March 25, Johnson was charged with having set fire to his apartment at 6 East 132nd street on the night of January 24, 1930, for the purpose of securing the insurance. According to Detective OConnor, Johnson confessed at the time of his arrest that he took out a $2500 policy on the furnishings of his apartment a few days before the fire. He received his policy on January 23 and the fire occurred the next day. He told the detective that he wanted the money so that he might get married. His fiance, Ellen Dorsett, was also arrested and placed on trial as an accomplice to the crime but she was acquitted.
Fire Marshal Is Witness.
The chief witness against Johnson was Jacob Winkler, assistant fire marshal, who investigated the fire, which, because of the prompt arrival of the Fire Department, did little damage. He testified that he found evidences of three separate fires in different rooms of the apartment. A straw mattress had been soaked with kerosine, and the carpet on the floor had also been soaked in kerosine. He also said there was a smell of kerosene on Johnson's clothes when he was arrested. Photographs of the different rooms of the apartment were also exhibited to show that the fire was not the result of an accident.
Assistant District Attorney MacDonnell, who prosecuted the case, made much of the fact that the apartment building housed twenty families and the lives of these families were all endangered by Johnson's act.
The defendants were represented by Attorney C. W. McDougal.
COURT RULES
BUSES MUST
CARRY NEGROES
North Carolina Supreme
Court Sustains Inter-
Racial Committee
Raleigh, N. C.—The decision handed down by the North Carolina Supreme Court, ruling that buses are common carriers and hence that they must provide accommodations for Negro passengers, brings to a satisfactory end a case that has been under negotiation and in the courts for many months.
Discovering that Negroes were being denied transportation on many of the bus lines, the State Interracial Committee first took the matter up with the bus companies more than a year ago, but without success. The Committee then appealed to the State Corporation Commission, requesting that the Commission issue a ruling that buses were common carriers and must make the desired provisions. The Corporation Commission in turn failed to act and, as a last recourse, the interracial group took the matter into the courts.
in the court of original jurisdiction a favorable verdict was handed down by Judge Barnhill, but the case was appealed to the Supreme Court for final adjudication. The latter, in the decision rendered February 12, settles the matter definitely and throws upon the Corporation Commission the responsibility of, putting the decree into effect. Judge Barnhill stated the case thus
"That the petition herein filed originally before the corporation commission and constituting a part of the record of this case states and sets forth a matter or cause of action within the cognizance and jurisdiction of the corporation commission, and that bus operators who have received franchises to transport passengers' for hire, pursuant to chapter 136, public laws of 1927, and other pertinent statutes

Therea industrial, high school—a trade school—in the heart of Harlem and yet more than 75 percent of the students are white boys who come from other sections of the city. Why is it that this school hasn't more colored boys in its classes? This question was asked Dr. Charles J. Pickett, who has been principal here since the school first opened, in September 1909, gave me reasons for this situation and suggested among other things that the present curricula in the junior high schools be chanked.
Junior High's Responsible.
The junior high schools of the city are in part responsible for the attitude of the public toward the trade school. At the present time the junior high schools select those students who appear brightest in their studies and put them in classes leading to collegiate training and the so-called cultural professions. The next grade of students—the average students—are placed in the commercial classes. Then those who are poorest in their area and are industrial work. This separation stigmatizes the industrial classes in the elementary and junior high schools and make them students of these classes appear to be "dummies."
Dr. Pickett would have all the junior high school students take academic, commercial and industrial classes. At least for the first two years. By this time the boys would discover their natural bent and would, themselves, select the particular course leading to the trade or profession they have chosen, by having all the students in the school take so many hours commercial, industrial and academic work, the industrial classes would no longer be looked down upon and many a boy would discover in these classes some trade in which he could make a living and be a better member of society than through overcrowding the profession of the law or medicine.
Parents Are Inimical.
Another reason Dr. Pickett gives for the poor showing of colored boys in the Harlem Trade School is the attitude of their parents toward industrial training. Among Negroes and Jews, more so than among any other racial group, the professions are venerated, and held up to the youth of these races as the goal toward which they should work. This is an industrial age, says Dr. Pickett, and there are several lines of industry in which a person can be of, even greater service to their fellowman and can make more money than through, becoming a doctor or a lawyer.
He cited as examples of outstanding success in their chosen fields, the business field, led Thomas A. Edison and Charles A. Lindbergh. None of these men received professional training and the basis of their success is the mastery of some particular trade.
Dr. Pickett also stated that the value of so-called intelligence tests to determine which students are of low mentality has been greatly overrated. He told of a young man of his acquaintance who was rated as almost a sub-normal while in public school because of his aversion to mathematics. Yet in later years this man became actuary for one of the largest insurance companies in the country and is today an authority in mathematics. He merely developed slower than other students in his class while in elementary school, the principal concluded.
Boys Who Made Good.
Many of the colored boys who have attended Harlem Trade School are today financially independent and are in as good standing in their communities as are the professional people. Witness the example of Greiner Turner, one of the most prosperous and outstanding of Harlem's young business men.
Mr. Turner went to Harlem Trade School because he liked electrical work. He graduated during the school and was an electrician, mediately as an electrician at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. He saved his money and in a few years was able to form a partnership with his other electrician and enter business.
Dr. Pickett also told of one of Harlem's most successful licensed plumbers and several other tradesmen who were graduates from this school.
All labor is dignified and worthwhile. The tradesman is just as necessary as the white-collared worker but opportunities for the tradesmen are greater the longer entropy time than his most white-collared workers. Dr. Pickett concluded.

BROOKLYN LEGION POST PROTESTS JIM CROW TRIP
Demands Change In Proposed French Tour of Gold Star Mothers
The members of the George P. Davis Post No. 116 of the American Legion at their last meeting caused a letter to be drafted and forwarded to U. S. Attorney-General W. D. Mitchell in protest to the proposed treatment toward the "Gold Star" mothers who will make the pilgrimage to the graves of their loved ones in France.. The letter is as follows"
Hon, Wm. D. Mitchell, Attorney General, Department of Justice Washington, D. C.
Dear and Honored Sir: The above organization takes this opportunity to call your attention to the protest of the Gold Star mothers of the Negro race, particularly in the South, for the trip to France.
It appears to us that our Government is missing one of the greatest opportunities it ever had to display justice and fair play in a most telling and effective way of hitting at call your attention to this serious prejudice. It is our crying duty to blunder on the part of our Government.
We are frank to say, Mr. Attorney General, that unless this condition is remedied we are going to make it our business to see to it, both through the white and Negro press, together with other agencies that are available to us, that even now we own a portion of the race the South, entitled to, and who has planned to go to France refuse the trip except where they are able to travel at their own expense.
Our comrades who fought and died in Europe, fought for a principle, and these noble women, we can assure you, are equally as heroic for a principle. The women of our race feel as we do, that this is one place and time when "Jim Crowism" does not have to be mutely accepted, even at the hands of our Government. They are brave enough to tell the world that they would rather have their sons Sleep in the cemeteries of Europe than having visitors to accept such insult at the hands of our Government. If our Government can afford to stand shame before the whole world we feel that it will be the most effective, method the Negro has ever resorted to for a principle.

vitality for them to come again.

BKLYN GRAND JURY PREES C
Patrolman Walter Lowe, of the Grand avenue station, has been exonerated by the Grand Jury of all criminal guilt in the shooting, of Ralph Baker, Negro, 24, of Montclair, N. J., it was learned March 25.
The dismissal of the charge against Lowe by the Grand Jury sustains in effect the action by Magistrate Mark Rudick, who had also dismissed the charge against Lowe. After Magistrate Rudich had dismissed counter charges of assault made by Lowe and Baker against each other, complaint was made to Chief Magistrate McAdoo that the action of Magistrate Rudich in dismissing the charge of assault against Lowe was not just justified by the facts, but instead made to him. Chief Magistrate McAdoo issued a warrant for the arrest of Patrolman Lowe, who was held for the action of the Grand Jury on a charge of assault.
All Witnesses Heard.
District, Attorney Brower saw to it that every witness, called by Baker in his behalf, was given the opportunity to tell his story to the Grand Jury. Lowe, through his attorney, ex-Assistant Corporation Counsel Joseph A. Solovel, sought and was given the opportunity to tell his side of the story.
Thirteen witnesses in all appeared before the Grand Jury. How the vote of the grand jurors stood could not be learned as none but grand jurors were in the room when the vote was taken.
On September 9 of last year Patrolman Lowe was riding with Miss Louise Crocker, of the Harriet Judson Memorial Y, W, C, A, on a Fulton street "L" train when two Negroes entered and sought to squeeze into a narrow space beside Lowe. A dispute arose during which one of the Negroes, it was charged, directed an insulting remark toward Miss Crocker. At the Rockaway avenue station Lowe placed the two men under arrest.
Says Baker Struck Him.
On the station, Lowe alleged, one of the men, who, he still maintains, was Baker, struck him, and with his companion who Lowe said was William Fontaine, a Negro and friend of Baker, and also living in Montclair. The two men broke away from Lowe. Lowe pursued Baker, bringing him down with a bullet in the back. Fontaine was charged by Lowe with disorderly conduct, but this charge was dismissed also by Magistrate Rudich Baker, who is, a student in the pre medical college of Lincoln University, that he had Pontineau were on the train in Montclair Lowe and Miss Crooker were riding. Their story was that they were on then way to the station when Lowe, came rushing toward them and they, in fright ran away from him.
FULTON ST. "L"
WILL BE RASED
BY END OF 1935
Chairman Delaney States
Subway Must Be Com-
pleted First
In order to satisfy some of the readers of this page, who have been asking, the question, "When, will the Fulton street elevated be taken down?" our reporter got in touch with Chairman John H. Delaney of the Board of Transportation, and he stated: "The city should be in a position to demolish the Fulton street elevated line from the Brooklyn Bridge to East New York by the end of 1935."
Must Finish Subway First.
He stressed the point that the "El" cannot be taken down until a substitute service is provided, consequently the Fulton street subway, now in course of construction, must be completed and in operation before the street can be relieved of the incubus. The Garnberry street tunnel, which will connect the tube with the Eighth avenue trunk line in Manhattan, is 72 per cent finished. The other parts, including the Smith-Jay subway, are progressing as rapidly as possible.
400 Negroes Employed.

Brooklyn colored people, colored men are employed on this coloured street, fitted in all capacities. There are a number of white men working with them.

upon this government. With autonomy restored to the Haitian people, and the opportunity offered them to establish a stable government under favorable auspices, there is hope for brighter days in Haiti. The provision of adequate educational facilities for the masses should help largely in the establishment of a democracy on a firmer and more lasting basis. In this the Moton committee will have the opportunity to provide a suitable program to meet the needs of the Haitian people.
resulted in a conviction of manlaughter, which was reversed on appeal. The shocking part of the whole affair, was that the State's Attorney, John A. Swanson, when notified of the behavior of his subordinate, Hampton, while denying that he approved or shared his declaration in favor of the use of the epithet used to describe the race, took no measures to discipline the offender against the decency of the court.
While such conduct and language as that used by Judge Swanson's assistant might be allowed in the courts of Oklahoma, it is hard to believe that it should be countenanced by the prosecuting officer of a city like Chicago, where the court itself had ordered such a remark stricken from the record. In his campaign for election as State's Attorney, Judge Swanson was assidious in his appeal for support from colored voters. He will hardly have the assurance to go to them again after his failure to rebuke his insulting assistant.
A HERITAGE TO BOWDOIN.
In an article in the Bowdoin Quill for January, entitled "A Black Man in the White World" E. Frederic Morrow, a student of that college, told why he sought to obtain his education at that institution. The hugeness of Harvard, he said, appalled him, after he had got to its gates. He felt that he could never find there the satisfaction of belonging, or feeling himself an important part of the group. In answer to the question as when then he turned to Bowdoin, a small college up in Maine, when there are so many of that class in the East, he wrote:
Bowdoin College has handed down to every American Negro boy a rich heritage Way back in the year 1826 a college mate of Hawthorne and Longfellow battered down the barrier of prejudice and social condemination and was graduated by this college. His four years in Brunswick were try yet his modesty, intelligence and perseverance commanded the respect of his fellow men. As governor of the Maryland colony in Liberia, John B. Russworm left an indefinite outline of his footprints on the "sands of time." He was one of the fists of Bowdoin's great journalists, being the father of the American Negro press. He was the first color man to be graduated from any college in America.
John B. Russworm was the editor of Freedom's Journal, published in New York City in 1827, and devoted to the abolition of slavery. Bowdoin College also numbered among its graduates Oliver O. Howard, who in later years became a Union, general and the founder of Howard University. So Mr. Morrow was not far wrong, when he referred to the heritage that Bowdoin has given to Negro youth.

PROPOSITION TO DEPRIST.
The fact that opposition has developed to the renomination of Representative Oscar DePriest of Chicago and that he will have to meet several contesting candidates at the primaries this month, does not indicate that there is any great opposition to his return to Congress. Running for Congress against DePriest is an easy way to break into public print in Chicago and to get oneself into the limelight. It might also lead to possible financial rewards, if the contesting candidate could convince the interests that are opposed to any colored Congressman, that he could help defeat DePriest without himself becoming strong enough to get the nomination.
Evidently the Chicago jury had a better conception of what constituted an insult than the lawyer from Oklahoma.
HOW'A COMMISSION FUNCTIONED
Bowdoin College has handed down to every American Negro boy a rich heritage. Way back in the year 1826 a college mate of Hawthorne and Longfellow battered down the barrier of prejudice and social condenation and was graduated by this college. His four years in Brunswick were trying, yet his modesty, intelligence and perseverance commanded the respect of his fellow men. Governor Maryland-colonized in Liberia B. R. Bussworn left an indelible outline of his footprints on the "bands of time." He was one of the first of Bowdoin's great journalists, being the father of the American Negro press. He was the first colored man to be graduated from any college in America.
However, the colored voters of Chicago are not so easily fooled by any such tactics as are likely to be used in this fight. They know enough to keep from splitting their votes among a multitude of colored aspirants and letting a white man capture the nomination. Logically, the nomination belongs to the colored voters who constitute the majority in the Congress district. They have only to guard against the danger of so splitting their votes that they lose the power to name their candidate. This is the object of having so many candidates enter the field against DePriest.
John B. Rusworm was the editor of Freedom's Journal, published in New York City in 1827, and devoted to the abolition of slavery. Bowdin College also numbered among its graduates Oliver O. Howard, who in later years became a Union, general and the founder of Howard University. So Mr. Morrow was not far wrong, when he referred to the heritage that Bowdin has given to Negro youth.
WORDS AND THEIR MEANINGS.
How the relations are between the Republican machine and the present Congressman, we do not know. The division between the forces of Mayor Thompson, who yet retains some hold on the Republican machine in Chicago, and Senator Deneen, who is striving to succeed himself as Senator, has led to some serenge
WORDS AND THEIR MEANINGS.
The Dunbar News, which classes itself as "a journal of economic cooperation," has begun a crusade for "Typographical Emancipation," in the matter of having Negro capitalized, when used as a synonym for Black Americans. It recently published an impressive list of important publications which have been won over to change their usage in this respect, by the adoption of the capital "N." Among them it cited the Atlantic Monthly, Housing, the New York Sun, the United States Daily, the New York Times, the American Year Book, the Saturday Evening Post.
The Dunbar News, which classes itself as "a journal of economic cooperation, has begun a crusade for "Typographica Emancipation," in the matter of having Negro capitalized, when used as a synonym for Black Americans. It recently
alignments in Illinois politics: As we understand it, Representative DePriest is cooperating with the Thompson machine ins supporting Mrs. Ruth Hennia McCormick, who is bent on taking Senator Deneen's place in the upper house, instead of continuing her career in the House of Representatives.
What effect this alliance may have on the primary fight, we do not know, but taking Representative DePriest's record during his first term, we would say that his constituents have reason to feel proud of him. It is well known that a Congressman's usefulness to his constituents and to his party increases with his term of service, so it is good policy to keep a competent representative in office. Places on important committees are given on the basis of seniority in service and a Representative has to have several terms to his credit before he gets fully initiated in lawmaking.
Among the typographical authorities classified as having made no decision yet, usage not changed, was the United States Government Printing Office. As late as March 18, the Public Printer wrote to the editor of the News, that "this matter is under consideration by the Style Board of the Government Printing Office and cannot be settled until the work of that board has been completed." At the same time the editor of the News accorded the highest honors to Lester A. Walton, formerly managing editor of The Age, for having placed before the convention of the Associated Press in April 1913, "a most effective statement of the reasons why the constituent members of that powerful organization should capitalize the word Negro." It concluded with the generous expression that "not only for these early efforts of Mr. Walton, but for his very remarkable career as a whole in American journalism, hundreds of thousands of thinking men and women feel that he should be nominated by acclamation for the highest Harmon Award in Journalism."
In making public the report of the commission, President Hoover said: "The administration will adopt the recommendations of the commission as the basis of its policy in Haiti. I approve the report and it will form our Haitian policy." This is a simple and clear declaration of a new policy to be adopted in Haiti, which will result in the restoration of self-government and independence to the people of that country. If carried out in the spirit in which the commission prosecuted its investigation, it should not fail to bring about satisfactory results.
Mr. DePriest has demonstrated that he is a courageous, hard hitting opponent in debate and ever ready to defend himself and the people whom he represents. He has proved himself equal to every emergency that has arisen in his career so far and he should be renominated at the primary. The voters of his district should not be misled by the pleas of the candidates who pretend they are after the nomination; but really only hope to destroy the present member's chances for reelection.
Despite the brief period spent, by the commission in its mission, but little over a month sufficing for its work, it seems to have arrived at a pretty thorough understanding of the situation, and the causes that brought about the failure of the American occupation. It did not try to do any whitewashing of the acts and attitude of the High Commissioner and others of the occupational forces. It simply noted their failure to understand the social problems of Haiti and their bruseness in attempting to change them again arbitrary manner. Specific mention was made of the objections raised to the policy of the occupation, in assuming that it would continue indefinitely, and the absence of preparation to supplant Americans with Haitians at the expiration of the treaty; that Haitians were not promoted to take the place of Americans in the police force; that taxes were not reduced, and that the treaty officials had usurped more control of the Haitian government than was warranted by the treaty. As this covers much of the ground set forth by protesting Haitians in their objections to a continuance of the occupation, it will be seen that the commission actually did some investigating of its own, instead of accepting the statements of the occupation authorities as a sufficient answer.
But to return to the discussion of the capital for Negro, we find some sapient objection made by those literal souls who have heard that Negro means black in Latin and is not the name of the race. One of these objectors raised the point that "Negro" is ethnologically and historically wrong as applied to colored Americans. As Negro has long been applied as an ethnological designation to certain African tribes, and usually capitalized when used as an ethnological term, it might be logically deducted that it would follow the descendants of such tribes to America. Whether it would correctly apply to the new race born in America, might be a moot point, but for the fact that common usage rules in the matter of words and their meanings. A word that might describe and be restricted to one use in one generation, might readily be extended to wider meaning a generation later. Hence when the term Negro is used to denote the members of the new American race derived from African ancestors, regardless of color, it has lost its original restriction as a word meaning black and has become a new ethnological term, requiring a capital letter, according to the rules of correct English.
WHAT CONSTITUTES AN INSULT?
A news article in the Chicago Whip told of how a clash was narrowly everted in the court of Judge Walter P. Steffen during the trial of Desmond Williams for the shooting of a white man, who had called him "nugger" and "doonon." Assistant State's Attorney Hampton, in pleading for a conviction, was quoted as saying to the jury: "It is no insult to call a colored man a "nugger" or a "Negro." The reaction that followed among the spectators was described as follows:
At these words an angry murmur arose among the colored people who were in the court room, and Attorney Wendell I. Green, who was defending Willards jumped to his feet shouting, "Your honor, I object. This is a personal insult to me and to my whole army and should be calmly and easily to such vile insult. And whirling quickly to face Hampton, Attorney Green said, "I defy you to call me 'Nigger'" Hampton wisely declined the challenge, and Judge Steffen has tended to order the remark-strikes on from the record.
Notwithstanding this astounding declaration of the assistant prosecutor, who is to be a Negrohating Southerner from Oklahoma the jury disagreed as to he guilt of the accused, it being his second trial on this charge, the first having
'As we said before, the commission has functioned with directness, simplicity and celerity. It has furnished an object lesson in cutting the skins of a tangled political situation that reflected no credit
The editor of the Dunbar News should continue his crusade in behalf of typographical emancipation, without.
No matter what the special committee suggests with regard to the conduct of those who represent the Republican National Committee in the Southern states, the flagrant disregard of the rights of American citizens in the matter of primaries and elections, to say nothing of the opportunity to be chosen for public office in their several states, more than warrants any method of balancing it once in four years.
When shogun intimidation and other methods, including facetious decisions in the courts, were used to keep the Negro from the polls, the North did not only did nothing, but debate the case, but it refused the power to restrict representation as it had the right to do under the same amendment which conferred the right to vote.
The real criminals, if there be any in these matters, are those whose neglect and connivance have made this system which they now condemn, the only possible system by an organization could be conducted when the whistleblower announce, their allegiance to one of the dominant political parties could get their American opportunity to hold public office.
The committee had to report what it found, but in making its recommendations, it has been unfair and partial, in that it has not opened the subject of primal causes. It has not permit the committee to forget, that it was Henry Lincoln Johnson, who remarked at an investigation' of political expenditures in the South, that he had spent $9,000, in a county in Georgia, to prevent a recurrence of the french lynching of a colored mother whose unborn infant had its skin dashed out against a tree, by the bush.
A nation that persistently puts money values above human rights must find itself involved deeper and deeper in the consequences of such distorted administration. Conditions of Southern election processes, not a cause, and those who have been in power by right or fraud are the real perpetrators of any wrong. The effort to make the two Negro members of the Republican National Committee responsible for a system inaugurated by white Republican leaders in the South was worthy of a political Pecksmith.

Emphasizing the necessity for "Militant Minister," the Chicago Sunday Bee related' the following From Detroit, Mich. comes reports that a stalwart member of a colored church there, incensed because his wife had been ousted from the church, and meek and lowly pastor and wished on him the responsibility for what he assumed was a grave offense. The good shepherd tried to 'console the offended brother, and, being an emissary of peace tried to explain to the satisfaction of the bellicose member of his flock that he was the offender of the wherefores and causes of the rift between the chorister and the chorine.
But it seems as though the unlamblike sheik persisted in endeavoring to make a scape-goat of his pious shepherd. The complaining one he became abusive, belligerent, and struck out at the docile preacher, landing a left to the anatomy in approved pugilist style. But the mild manformed man of God came back like a tornado out of the hills and when the short but decisive encounter ended there was one serious casualty; and the church member was carried off to the hospital for repairs that will doubtless necessitate his journey there for a few weeks.
Applauding the defensive tactics of the preacher, the Chicago editor made a plea for the instruction of theological students in the many art. New York once boasted an example of the militant minister, who on one occasion admitted to the judge, when testifying against a battered parishioner, that he had "pasted him wahin"—upon provocation of course.
Quoting the statistically inclined Christian Recorder, to the effect that out of every dollar earned by the Negro race, only two cents goes to his church, the Norfolk Journal and Guide said:
When we take into consideration the really impressive showing that we have made in church property and church-owned school property on a per capita expenditure of two cents the potential improvement of our social structure that is possible within our own means seems also incomprehensible. Yet if we should gather the right concept of our social duty we could have a substantially supported hospital for over 25 church that we would accomplish this by operating a few pennies less for pleasures. We could not in conscience spend any less for churches.
Dr. Monroe N. Work, our leading statistician, places the annual income of the Negro race in the United States at two billion dollars. Consider the amount of money when the two billion dollars is budgeted it allows a comparatively small amount for anything outside of actual subsistence. But against the per capita expenditure, for church support it is insured by the statisticians and the clerics, and for pleasures. Of the two central spend for churches we can show over
$200,000,000 worth of church property. What have we to show for the dime we spend for pleasures? Could we not in reason cut it in half and spend a nickel for hospitals? Who would you offer on charity with the church as a social force will be able to answer that question. And in view of the close association of the body needs with those of the soul it would appear that we should not only be strengthening a most neglected pillar of our social structure, but would be doing so in consonance with the teachings or the Master Himself.
As diseased bodies demand cure as much as sick souls, the plea of the Norfolk editor is based on sound principles.
Another by-product of prohibition was 'discussed by' the Pittsburgh Courier under the heading of "A Dangerous Drink. It said:
Tincture of Jamalia Ginger, affectionately called "Jake" by its addicts in various parts of the Southland and other "dry" sections, "has at last begun to claim its victims. For a long time its devotees considered themselves immune from the fills that have been created by rubbing alcohol, Sterno, Pyrean, Bay Rum, shoe polish and other post-Volstadian beverages. Gaily they trekked to corner stores, purchased their small bottles of the fiery and potent fluid, "mixed with Coca Cola or Nehi and imbibing it, floated off in to that delightful half-world beloved by all narcotic addicts. The drink, made in white mule," seem mild by comparison. What more could the dry-voting wet-drinking Americans of the wide-open spaces want!
Unfortunately, they have got something they did not want and certainly did not expect. First, came the news from Oklahoma that 40 victims of 'Jake' were in local hospitals suffering from partial paralysis. The following day, the number had increased to 50. The city had all said the city physician, be deprived of the use of their hands and feet for several months. Analysis of the quality of the alcohol which comprises 80 per cent of the volume of 'Jake' showed that it was very poor and responsible for the illnesses. Drug stores, it is charged, are selling the Jamaicaia ginger illegitimate Five percent of the volume from health departments of Mississippi, Georgia and Tennessee of fifty-nine, fourteen and one hundred and twenty cases respectively, being treated.
All of the sufferers are not white people, for Negroes in the South are large consumers of "Jake." There is hardy, a community in Dixie where this dangerous beverage or others that are not openly sold in drug stores and consumed in large quantities. Those who have not yet fallen prey to the mysterious malady derived from "Jake" had best get on the water wagon before it is too late.
Patent medicines containing a high percentage of alcohol have always been in demand in dirty" communities. When the alcohol used in such compounds has been denatured by deleterious drugs, the consumers suffer.
The Kansas City American in an editorial headline put the *startling question* "Are the Negro Buddies Dying from Neglect?" It supported this query by saying:
Some weeks ago, Sergeant Lucien (Bob) Sweeney, Past Commander of Wayne Miner Post, 149, of this city, made a serious charge in which he said that right here in Kansas City and Excelir Springs, Missouri, in the heart of America, Negroes are receiving medical treatment at the government hospitals. He further said that this condition does not exist in any other place in America where a government hospital is located, not excepting Texas, Tennessee, and Louisiana. Sergeant Sweeney states further that these two hospitals are the row biased, prejudiced click, who have successfully kept Negro service men out of these two hospitals. He states that there are more than fifty ex service men in Kansas City, who are dying for the want of medical skill; that there are more than fifty thousand Negro soldiers in Kansas, Kansas and Oklahoma, who should receive the medical services of this institution. These facts he states are in the possession of the officials of Wayne Miner Post.
Regarding this as a very serious indictment, the Kansas City editor insists that these facts are not known or countermeant by the personnel of the American Legion. The test would be to bring them to public notice and demand a change of policy.
Discussing the subject of "Colonial Government and Political Agitators," the Gold Coast Times of Cape Coast, West Africa, said:
In an editorial in our issue of May 11 last, we joined issue with a writer in one of our Anglo-African advocates advocating summary methods in dealing with the leader of the South African native community whom he described as political agitators. These agitators, he said, were Russian emissaries spreading disaffection among the native population; and we seized the opportunity to point out that there was no need for Communist bygone countries to their own policies—by the Color Bar Bill, the threatened disenfranchisement.

E. Frederick Morrow, son of the Rev. J. Lugee Morrow and Mrs. Morrow of Hackensack, N. J., now a senior at Bowdoin College, Brickwick. Me, has contributed an article to the January number of The Bowdoin Quill, a magazine published four times yearly by students of that college, telling of his reactions to that college under the caption, "A Black Man In A White Man." The article, he states, was written in response to a question to him by a white yellow student asking: How-It Feel To Be Coused With a Color.
His going to Bowdoin, he said was "quite accidentally. Harvard had lured him up to her very gait when a realization of her hugeness led him to believe that he turned to Bowdoin because it "has handed down to every American Negro boy a rich heritage." A Negro college mate of Hawthorne and Longfellow, way up his college, this college, and this man, John R. Russworm, later became governor of the Maryland colony in Liberia Russworm, says Morrow, "was one of the first of Bowdoin's great journalists, being the father of the first the first colored man to be graduated from any college in America.

The Week Of April 5 Astrologically Considered
or removals. New plans are not worth while. The health should be considered. This year is not without its advantages. April 6 promises some, very unexpected changes in marriage or love during the birtyear. It seems that the changes will be to the advantage of the people of today. The speech and writings should be careful. Legal matters will not be favorable. The birtyear for April 7 promises an inheritance, or promotion in the employment. The year holds most personal gain, but does not offer complete happiness in domestic affairs. Events of the birtyear will be greatly influenced through a parent. The honor and reputation should be guarded from treachery attacks. Legal matters, careless words and thoughtless letters will bring up happiness to those who begin a birtyear on April 8. These make the best of judgement and will find a distinct gain at the end of the birtyear. Financial and domestic affair will require careful attention.
The birthyear for April 9 seems to offer difficulty if the employment and possible loss of honor and reputation to those who do not try to be thoughtful and careful. The words of today will certainly dominate and family affairs to be rather turbulent. The first paragraph has a touch of realism to the present day. Throughout the war their stands the real help of a innocent friend. April 10 begins a birthyear that will bring some real gain to those who can be patient and attend strictly to business. It seems that there will be some secret arrangement in romance. Those who have money should not invest in worthless businesses, but should go to a reliable bank will have much influence in a financial way, and much care should be used to avoid loss.
The financial outlook for April is rather good, even if the money goes as fast as it comes. Travel will be rather worth while and pleasant. Domestic affairs are not undated to very pleasant and new ideas will not return out, well although they may have a very promising start.

Editor of The New York Age:
Among many other valuable articles in your paper, we have specialized in reading the column of "The New Yorker" by James H. Hogans. There are continued innovations pertaining to the general, welfare of the Pullman. Company, which could be the proper conduct of the porter's duties, added activities in the discharge of the duties. With such a nondescript aggregation of help, it calls for a large field of overseers and a tactful watching of the individual porter to safeguard the high reputation of the company so that its standard for superior execution may not fall below the mark laid down by said company.
The writer is deeply interested in the welfare of both parties concerned; he is anxious that the porters and the requirements of the company; company; corporation which he served for so many years may not he disappointed in receiving the full, quota of service which they expect from the large army of porters in their employ. About 15 years or more ago there was a bonus system extant among both conductors of the company as well as porters, and for a flawless period of 12 months, with a name of the individual, he was awarded with a month's extra pay.
In order to give impetus, and greater activity in arousing the general interest of the men, such a course of action would stimulate one and all in the porters ranks to win the prize. From its inception by the company at that time, the writer never failed to win the reward. There is nothing that purses to renewed energy like being a contestant where a prize is offered. Heaven itself offers us a reward. Life is a life of life. While there may be other avenues of advancement held out to the porter, still, a prize offered in any form is health and invigorating.
The "Yanked Clipper," the latest and most luxuriously appointed Pullman train, plying between New York and Boston, has the name of the Pullman conductor and the crew of the latest. These men must have reached the one hundred per cent mark in order to be selected to mign significant train. That in itself signifies par excellent service for those chosen for the job.
Although the writer is out of the service in person, yet, in spirit he follows the movements and the changing conditions of the company from data to data to the public wants can never reach perfection; there will always be one more River to cross" while pursuing that profession.

BY THEARCHER
All those who have birthdates in this group will feel some financial changes in the coming year, during the months of September, October, November and December 1930. The group for this week includes April 5 to April 11. This aspect brings a need for adequate health and to avoid extravagance in marriage affairs, since the question of, money will bring much worry to many who are married. The women of these dates will need to have very much patience with the marriage partner. Contact in any way with the law on the courts will not be very favorable. It is not possible the people of this week to suffer real injustice from the hands of the law and through the courts, especially in the months that have been indicated above. The last week of September, and the first two weeks of October will be the most difficult period. It is possible to avoid financial difficulties by not to make any thoughtless investment, by buying on credit, and by not borrowing or lending money.
This is how astrology helps others; by showing the best time and the best way to do at all times. The people of this week who have not been prepared by this knowledge will have a great deal in the months indicated at it. We know in knowledge their it power! A parent of the opposite sex will influence the year to a very great extent. The affairs of the domestic circle will cause much concern to those who begin a new birthyear on April 5. The business and employment will need careful attention, and it is not all advantage to make any changes
ment of the colored population in the Cape Province, and by the extensive expropriation of the natives of their land—the South African white authorities had been sowing the seeds of disaffection more intensively than the Russian Communists could have hoped to do. We indicated further measures of a more or less arbitrary nature as the common features of British administration in other parts of Africa which are producing the same result there, and that since there could be no smoke, without fire, the duty of British administrators, whenever they find symptoms of unrest, is to look out for the cause and remove it instead of ferreting about the effect.
That is a sad commentary on the lack of wisdom on the part of British colonial administrators, who are being rated at their true value by the native population. Communist agitators are less dangerous than some of these political misfits.

ST. MARTIN'S CHAPEL
ST. MARTIN'S CHAPEL
The *Digilad Prosign* was the appropriate subject chosen last Sunday morning for his Mid-Lenten sermon by the Rev. John H. Johnson, 122nd street and Linton Chapel, 122nd street and Linton Avenue, taken from the text as recorded in the 18th verse of the 18th chapter of the Gospel according to Luke "And the younger son gathered and travelled in a far country, and there wasted them in rious living."
In applying this interesting and highly dramatic story of the Prodigal son to our lives, Key Johnson said, "I traveled into a jar country. He was homeless. This is comparable to a state of alienation from God. Owen Wendell Holmes once wrote, "Home is where love is," and "apart, but our thoughts never." That is more sorrowful than the picture of one without a home.
The condition of this son continued the minister, was pitiful In the last analysis, he was living on husks, which is food for swine and was hungry and un nourished This is the leave of wordly pleasure. They leave unpatished They are only bubbles that burst and leave us with nothing. However this young man realized his state and repented He arose and went to his father and was received forgiven and feasted ready to forgive and help him In closing let me admend you first to mind your own ways and then help some one else. We can help others by believing in them, encouraging them and lending a helping hand. Rev. Rv. Chace, B. Ackles, rector of St. Mary's, P.F. Church, was the speaker at evening prayer.

A vast crowd occupied every inch of space at 'St. Ambrose Church last Sunday evening as the rector, the Rev. E. Elliot Durant, delivered an impressive eulogy on the late Bishop Herbert Shipman. Sitting in the room, he and sister-in-law of the late Bishop Shipman. They were visibly moved as the preacher dealt vividly with the incomprehensible wonders of life, and the mysteries of death. Father Durant predicted that in the very near future, humanity's stage have grown so spiritual evolution when men will regard death in a new light. Spiritual discoveries the preacher, said will enable us to regard apparent death as only a trip abroad to the invisible kingdom. As the preacher unravelled his theories on this age old subject the congregation sat up and showed interest. The relatives of the late bishop declared they were greatly consoladed by the discourse.

GERTRUDE E. MARTIN
OF VIOLIN MUSIC
Miss Gertrude Eloise Martin, yo
gave her first authentic recital at R
March 30.
The program opened with the playing of Concerto, in G Minor by Bruno. Miss Martin was at a disadvantage in this number because the piano was too loud. In the second number of the second group, "Hegre Katt," by Hubay, and the first number of the third group, "Romance," by Svendsen, Miss Martin appeared to be at her best playing these numbers with much case and expression. Miss Martin has good musical ability and a wonderful success is predicted for her in the future. The audience was sympathetic, indeed, and called her back to the platform after the several numbers.
The retiring was under the personal management of Mrs. Gertrude Mars Martin, mother of the young artist and marked the first occasion on which a race artist appeared in the coarsening and intimate auditorium on the Roerisch Hall, 163rd street and Riverside Drive. The hall, seating about six hundred, showed but few vacant seats when the opening number was begun, and the latecomers, soon filled these, leaving standing room only for the later corners.
Gertrude started her music at 5 years of age, her tutor being her father the late Martin-Stein Martin, the Martin-Stein Sohn, and being continued after his death with her brother, the late Eugene Mars Martin. Following her brother's untumely and sudden death she became a pupil of Waltler Priefer, of the Royal Conservatory of Leipzig, now with a studio at Carnegie Hall; with whom she is now studying.
The school had a two-fold purpose, for her artistic development, to secure funds for the further education of her musical education, the reception accorded her

An attractive and unusual feature of the afternoon was the presence of a group of charming misses and matron members of the Debutantes and Sub-Debs, as ushers in place of the usual group of gentlemenly members of Monarch Lodge.
The land played with its usual excellence of interpretation, the Overture to II Guaranty, by the Braithwaite composer, Gomet, being a particularly brilliant effort.

EXCERPTS FROM OPERAS WRITTEN BY FREEMAN HEARD AT STEINWAY HALL
Miss Reba Callendar, 127
West 141st street
Beulah Overton Drake, 460
Quincy street, Brooklyn
Excerpts from nine operas based on Negro themes, composed by Prof. H. Harry Lawrence Freeman of New York City, in the period from 1893 to 1923, were given by Mr. Freeman, a number of soloists and an ensemble group on Sunday afternoon, March 30, at 3 o'clock in the Steinway Concert Hall, 113 West 57th street, before a goodly audience in which members of the race were noticeably absent. The recital was sponsored by a group of interested white friends from down town who are anxious to see the Freeman operas should become known to the musical intelligencezia. And so the audience was composed almost entirely of this group and their friends, although there were members of the race scattered here and there in the auditorium.
The listeners heard strange, unusual harmonic structures, eerily weird at times, but there was a musical content throughout the various numbers that knit the compositions into a homogenous, relationship. The first two sections of the program were devoted to individual numbers, from each of the nine operas represented, the third and final section being a rendition of the second act from "Voodoo," written in 1913, which was sung during last season in New York City, and which was one of the productions that aided in his singing. Harmon Award for distinguished accomplishments, in music during 1920
Blanche and John Eckles, soprano and tenor, opened the program with a duet from "The Prophecy" (1911), and then Ray Yeates sang the To-reader's Song from "Vendetta" (1923). Mr. Freeman's latest opera, "The Octoroon" (1904) was represented by a duet sung by Cecile de Silta and Leo Evans, and the Eckle and Leo Night, "Woodon." Another "Vendetta" number, an aria, was sung by Mine de Silta, and the final number of the first section of the program was a quintet from "The Mar-
Alexander Gatewood
Sings Splendid Program
Alexander Gatewood, tenor, former fellowship holder at the Jullhard Musical Foundation School of Music, sang a program of delightful content before a fair-sized audience on Monday night, March 31, in the auditorium of the Central Y, M C A., Hanson and Fort Green places, Brooklyn.
Mr. Gatewood disclosed a voice of beautiful lyric quality, with true placement of tone and meticulous clarity of utterance. His articulation was a "thing of beauty and a joy forever," and even if his song had been lacking in qualities, which it was not, still would have been a pleasure to hear him sing. In the quantity of his songs—in fact there were but two that did not seem to be suitable—his voice was an exquisite mode of conveyance. It was smooth and even in texture, colorful in all registers, and under perfect control, whether in mezzo or forte passages.
It was only when he essayed in the realm of dramatic interpretation—such as Tom Dobson's Carrigos" and the "Vesta la gluatta" from Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci" that his limitations applied to his performance, and satisfactory was his singing of other numbers on the program, which were printed in this column last week.
Hugo Bonn's accompaniment were satisfactory in most instances but on several occasions it appeared that the singer was slightly hampered by lack of fidelity to tempo and attack on part of the pianist. It might be menonoried, for it seemed that the singer himself anticipated the proper attack in one number, Molloy's "Punchinello," although the song was given with splendid effect.

Valdo and Carlotta Freeman, John Eckles and Rolin Smith were effective in their interpretation in this rendition. The other soloists a Prince Alkens, was vocally temperatus, but exhibited an inability to pronounce an understandable English. The composer, Mr. Freeman, was at the piano. Following the performance, Mr. Freeman received a note from Bela Kraska, a professor of the State University, at Budapest, Hungary, saying that the compositions were of particular interest and importance to the musical world. Members of the Chorus were Women—Christine David, Mattie Carter, Miss Carrington, Grace Abrams, Lucia Moreno, Mimes Washington, Augustine, Verona Georgia Berry, Perry and Miss Helen Jones, Men—Robert Eckles, Mardo Brown and Mr. Love.

Deacon Johnson musical contractor, ex-president of the Clei Chel has just had the beast hand of misfortune laid on him. His wife, Blanche, who had valuably fought with Deacon on that memorable Clei Club embellishment, died somewhat suddenly, Friday morning. March 28. Funeral service, were held at Grace Church in 19th street on Sunday evening. The Rev Garner, facilitating with the organ and choir. Vocal solos were rendered by Eddie Trees, Bill Ekins and the Nonpartner Trion- Reed, F. Addison and M. E. Doney reminiscent). At the loss of the ceremonies Deacon in accompanied the remains of W. George C. where investment with him made.
Many friends are at the church to pay their last respects. Among the musicians noted were Bill Bliss, Joe Allen, Strut Payne, Jeff Blake, Lieut. Tim Beygun, Sam Knight, Brooks Brooks, like Jason and Pete Cummins. Deacon has lost a competence, refined, antitendem, and cultured, who, as manager of the upstown office, released him of many responsibilities. As the pastor said, 'Respected and responsible. What better cultery can one desire at treater?' To Deacon the deceased's mother and other relatives this charm desires to express its sympathy.
A white man of business in Hazlem has for some time been quietly trying to correlate the business of colored musicians and entertainers. His idea is to establish a clearing house through which all talent would pass, with of course a fee to the office for its placement.
He is enlisting more than one radio station in his campaign, and with his influential contacts, greater impetus is given the movement daily, groups of singers have been placed on radio programs on a few occasions to test their registering. The stage is being gradually set. That there is a field for colored talent is generally conceded. It is regrettable that some race member cannot standardize and get the business in a big way, instead or depending on the hit or must, those business methods usually employed. But if the proposition is carried out as scheduled, and the work begins on in who will care from where it starts, the movement has no connection in any way with the Harlem Broadcasting station recently opened in 125th street.
Haves, the leader of the orchestra which has been playing at the Alhambra Theatre for a very long time, has, has tendered it to such nearly the whole orchestra a two-weeks' notice. This notice matured on Sunday, March 23.
On Tuesday following, Haves will appear at Local 802 to answer charges before the Trial Board on a claim of $3,000 alleged to be due to some of the musicians for back pay, overtime and rehearsals.
The assumption may be that everybody was satisfied to work on whatever conditions existed but as soon as they were put in the street rebellion reared its head and an appeal was made to the local for address.
The only trouble is that the Trial Board is thorough and will deliver in the raise to ascertain the real facts. Therefore the musicians who have brought the charges against Haves are liable to trial themselves, answering charges, with the resultant time.

"Resolved. That the present system of trial by jury should be abolished," was the subject of an interesting debate at the St James Presbyterian Church, the Rev. William Lloyd James, pastor, on Wednesday evening, March 26. Lincoln University represented the affirmative side, while Fisk University had the negative. The judges by a vote of 2 to 1 awarded the decision to Lincoln.
It was the first time the two schools had debated here, and a large crowd of alumni and friends of the two institutions turned out to hear them.

THINGS ‘SEEN, HEARD AND:DONE
~ AMONG PULLMAN’ EMPLOYEES |
By JAMES H:HOGANS ~ .
' (The seventh of a series of articles on the Pullman service and the
porter, of which the following is by JOHN REEVE, a fifteen year
Porter.) = 5, 8 . .
Asi stated in the outset, the history of the Pullman service and
the porter is replete with cases in which the actions of both have been
of admirable charcter. But, as I also stated, I entertain no illusions
| regarding the relations between the two. No porter of fifteen years
In this respect, it is well to con-
sider the fact that the porter is
just one of the cogs in the Pull:
nian service motor. 1 realized that
‘when I first entered the service.
Up t6 the present, I have had no
reasons for thinking differently,
Happiners Depends On Niche,
Still, no niotor runs’ smoothly
without the perfect correlation of
“every one of ils parts, no -matter
‘how’ significant the pari may seem.
In the Same manner does the port-
¢¢f function in the operation of the
Pollman machine, ‘To be sure he
is one of the sinall cogs, neverthe-
less, he has a part in its running
Three-fourths of the porters ap-
preciate this fact, and they func-
tion accordingly.” ‘The other {race

mian service, after fifteen years in
it. And justas no. two persons

porters’ who will entertain views
On this subject similar to mine.

Clara Scott Warrick Divorced From Husband
Philadelphia, Pa.-Clara. Scott Warrick, daughter of Philadelphia's first Negro Magistrate, the late Amos Scott, was divorced from her husband, Lee G. Warrick, scion of a prominent Philadelphia family, by decree of the Court of Common Pleas No. 3 on Monday, March 24.
The action in divorce has been kept secret, and the newspaper notices carrying this information created quite a surprise among Philadelphia society. Attorney Raymond Pace Alexander represented Mrs. Warrick.
Mrs. Warrick is the only child and heirs at law of the late magistrate, who died in 1925, leaving a large estate, the late magistrate wishing the corner and hotel it 12th and Pine streets and other valuable property on Christian street and elsewhere in Philadelphia. He amassed quite a fortune in the hotel, and was known as one of the most able and astute politicians in Philadelphia of either race.
Lee G. Warrick is a well known member of an old established Philadelphia family and a highly respected employee of the city government in the City Solicitor's office.
The couple were married February 25, 1925.
