Prograssivel Of Local and National Scope The New York Age CLASSIFIED ADVERTEMENTS Reach the Public and Police Requires At Least Care TEXAS MOB BURNS $60,000 COURTHOUSE IN EFFORT TO LYNCH NEGRO, WHO IS BURNED TO DEATH One Member of Mob Is Killed And Another Wounded By Members Of National Guard Who Are Sent to Scene by Governor Sherman, Texas.—The most savage and expensive lynching ever staged in this part of the country, occurred here Friday afternoon, May 9, when a mob stormed the Grayson County court house in an effort to get George Hughes, a 41-year old Negro, on trial on a charge of attacking a white woman. The prisoner was protected by Texas Rangers, who hid him in a vault. This caused the frenzied mob to set fire to the $60,000 court house and practically cremate the Eleanor Webb Leading Popularity Contest Which Closes Thursday Hughes was arrested last Tuesday after he had fired at two deputy sheriffs. An effort to storm the county jail at that time was repulsed. Witen he came to trial Friday, only persons whose presence was needed in the court-room were admitted. The mob began forming early and soon the halls and lower floor of the court were jammed. Many of those in the crowd were farmers and young men. The first clash came at noon when the court officers and Rangers were ordered to draw their pistols and threaten the crowd to prevent it from forcing open the door into the court room. Although Hughes pleaded guilty to the charge, under Texas law it is necessary to take testimony and submit to the jury the question of penalty, even though a defendant pleads guilty. Mob Storms Court While the first_witness was on the stand the mob stormed the court house and forced the door to the court room. The jury was ordered from the room and Sheriff Vaughn locked Highes in a vault on the second floor. This vault later became his pyre. Rangers with tear gas bombs cleared the court house clubbing those in the mob who lagged Court attendants among whom many women were forced to climb many steps outside windows to get fresh air as the fumes from the gas bombs spread through the building. Firemen with ladders took these down from their perilous positions. Set Court House on Fire The mob, after being repulsed, reformed and stormed the court house for a second time. Judge R. M. Vater, presiding at the trial, cal The Westchester Popularity Contest will come to a close on midnight, Thursday, May 15, at which time all votes will be counted. And on Friday, May 16, a monster reception will be held, at which time the winning contestants will receive the much- sought-after prizes. The vote standing reported by the contest chairman, Mrs. Dorothy Scott, on Monday was as follows: Eleanor Webb, Yonkers 8,200 Edna Gibbs, Elmsford, 7,100 Helen Stewart, Mt. Vernon, 6,500 Dorothy Gee, Tuckaboe, 6,400 Helen Gibson, Plaina, 5,280 Ehrabthe Howard, Pelham, 4,500 Virginia Griffin, Tarrytown, 3,440 In taking the lead this week, Eleanor Webb advanced from third place and Edna Gibbs advanced from fourth place to second place honors this week. Helen Stewart of Mt. Vernon dropped from second place to third and Dorothy Gee of Tuxalake dropped from first to fourth. The reports of this week are the biggest upsets to take place in the contest since it started. And with the contest coming to a close on Thursday the girls are working hard to capture the three prizes. A last word to the girls: The contest closes Thursday midnight and between now and the closing led a conference of counsel to discuss a possible change of venue Captain Hammer, commanding the Rangers, suggested that the trial could not be held in Sherman without bloodshed. At this time Captain Hommer received a telegram from Governor Mondy and turning to Judge Carter said: "This time, that the mob abused the Negro." "At the message from the Gov. person, reads: "Protect the Negro but do not shoot anyone." When the mob learned that a change of venue was being considered a cry went up. "We will get the Negro" and redoubled their efforts. The second-attack was repulsed with tear-gas bombs, the officers also, using their guns as freely as clubs. A third attack was likewise repulsed. Hose, that had been brought into play to drench the attackers was chopped into pieces by the mob. Three youths, apparently in their teens, ran to a window on the east side of the court house, immediately under the county's attorney's office in which the Negro was locked in the vault, and were seen to dash a ten-gallon can of gasoline through the windows into the basement. Immediately there was a flash of flame and the basement and lower-floor of the building began to blaze. The burning of the court house in a final effort to lynch the Negro was the climax of several-hours of fighting, in which tear bombs were used—repeatedly by the officers guarding the court house. Members of the mob first tried to blow up the court house with dynamite. (Continued on Seventh Page) ELEANOR WEBB Yorkers, N. Y. time you should work harder than ever before.

D., Lecturer and writer on Internatinoal politics and finance. India is now stirring the entire "civilized" and "uncivilized" world to the vision of the birth of a new freedom, a new spirituality, which may be of greater significance to the absolute liberation and unity of mankind than the renaissance that ushered-the "modern" times. The REVOLUTION that is now going on in India will have more far-reaching repercussions than all its predecessors, the American, French or Russian revolutions. Active Member of The.

John Hurst, first secretary of the Haitian legation in Washington and bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, died at Providence Hospital Tuesday morning. May followin g an illness of several weeks. The late-prelate was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, May 10, 1863. He fore coming to the United States in 1886, he patrolled St. Paul A. M. E. Church in Port-au-Prince where he served one year. He then became superintendent of the A. M. E. Missions in Haiti, the position he held until he was appointed secretary of the Haitian legation in Washington in 1889. He served in this position until 1893 when he joined the Baltimore conference of the A. M. E. Church and was assigned to the partorate of Crowdenville circuit. He was elevated to the bishopship in 1912 at the same time Bishop Joshua Jones and the late Bishop W. D. Chapelle were elected at the general conference in Kansas City.

He was also a trustee of Wilberforce and Howard Universities; chancellor of Edward Waters College, member of the American Academic, Political and Social Science; the Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity; and the Masonic orders.

NEWARK DOCTOR SUED BY GIRL FOR $75,000 "Peaches Starts Action For Breach Of Promise Newark, N, J—Another variety of the "Daddy" and "Peaches" affair came to light in Newark, when it was learned that a $7,500 breach of promise suit against Dr. William Henry Washington, wealthy colored physician of 321 High street, has been brought into the Supreme Court. The plaintiff, Miss Ethet Cannon of 327 Bergen street, charges through her attorney, Meyer C. Ellenstein, that the physician promised to marry her shortly after they met four years ago, if she would "wait until his wife died." However, the alleges that after he married Dr. Washington gave the girl a "temporary engagement ring" but refused to marry her. In answering the charges Dr. Washington denies the charges count by count and declared that Miss Cannon signed a document releasing him from all actions of law, two years ago. The young woman has promised to produce letters sent her by the physician in which he 'addressd her as "m dear Peaches." She in turn records disclose, knew him as "Daddy." Dr. Washington is said to be worth about $200,000. PARKER CONFIRMATION—41 PUBLICANS—17. Johnson (Cal.) La Follete (Vris.) Norris (Neb.) Nye (N. D.) Pine (Okla.) Robinson (Ind.) Schall (Minn.)

Essential Necessities. Rest will be one of the essential claims, upon you. Without it you cannot hope to keep up physically mentally or nervously. You cannot hope to burn the candle at both ends Nusing is hard work and in order to make a success of it you will have to give some thought to proper physical care. Another very important essential is that of ethics. Watch your ethics. They do not cease with the end of training school days—the increase in even a finer way. Be ethical toward the medical profession—you are their assistants—the need you, they want you—cooperate with them to the very best of your ability. Be ethical toward those of your own profession. Rise above petty jealousies and selfishness, work together toward bigger and higher things especially that concern all nurses. Be ethical towards your patients. Show courtesy, kindness and an understanding sympathy toward those to whom you minister. Proud of, Class - Record.

P. leaders of the Harlem districts: following assumption of his leadership in our respective districts, we placed before County Chairman Samuel S. Koenig a program directed toward advancing the civic interests of the people of this section, requesting his cooperation in fostering such program. "This prospectus included among other features, legislative enactment providing for a new municipal court district embracing this portion of Harlem; corrective and protective legislation in respect to housing conditions; and increased recognition of our claims upon the party in matters of patronage. "As a result of the cooperation of Mr. Koenig and other leaders of the party in the State our legislative representatives have been able to achieve necessary records and measures providing for a new municipal court district has become a law, and the fall elections will witness the elevation of two residents of this community to the judiciary, marking an epoch in the history of the Negro in America. "Enactment of the Perkins Bill gives the courts discretionary power to grant a stay of six months in eviction proceedings, thereby protecting oppressed tenants against rapacious and consciousness landlords, while enactment of the Rivers Bill insures added protection where landlords fail to keep apartments in proper repair and condition, contributing to the comfort and health of the people and insuring adequate rent for remedial purposes. Poorly-founded means of livelihood to many have been secured, this recognition has been secured, and has been particularly acceptable in the present unemployment situation." "The attitude of County Chairman SPECIAL FEATURES Samuel S. Koonig throughout... has been particularly helpful, not in these respects alone but in other circumstances intimately known to us as district leaders. We feel, therefore, that the movement to tender a complimentary dinner to Mr. Koenig is altogether fitting, and that the citizens of this community will join in thus indicating their appreciation of his services."

Davis Post No. 116 of the American Legion have stressed the thought that in this way the Negro will appreciate for the Negro soldier. At this meeting a number of well known figures in American life will speak. Among them are Hon. Emmet J. Scott, former Assistant Secretary of War in the Wilson Administration and now secretary of Howard University; Col. William Hayward, the famous wartime commander of the 15th Regiment; Col. Charles W.

Davis, after whom the post was named, was a Brooklynite and enlisted in the Fifteenth Regiment in October 1917. He was about the last man to join that famous aggregation. He became a machine gunner and was among the first, not the first, to pay for his loyalty and enthusiasm with his life. He showed great courage and bravery, going about his work with a degree of ardor that attracted the attention of his comrade and officers. In the battle of the Mense-Argonne less than a year after he had left Brooklyn, a German shell got him. He was killed instantly. Sergt. Davis Forms Post About eleven years ago, best Sergeant Charles D. Davis, who was not related to George P. Davis, called a lieutenant in the Army, gathering after they had been disarming the organization of a post. They met in the old 15th Infantry Brigade Harrison Avenue. He suggested that the post be named after George P. Davis. This was on July 11, 1919. All of his ideas were carried out and he was chosen as the first commander. Several years ago Sergeant Davis who lived on Sumpter street grew up in the town of aOLDER and practically was born in the army as his 'father' was in the Ninth Cavalry at the time of his birth.

Davis placed over the door of the proposed post headquarters and will serve as hempromoter of Negroes of Brooklyn who took part not only in the World W. but all other wars of this nation.

So far as Judge Parker's attitude to- ward the Negro was concerned, his great mistake lay in ignoring the inquiry made by the National Association for thg, Ad- yvancement of Colored People as to his Feported assertion, that “the participation of the Negro in politics is a source of evil and danger to both races.” The fact that he was reported to have held thts opinion ten years ago,"in a North Carolina cam- paign, was not so flagrant as his failure to seek to explain the circumstances-un- derlying that expression, or to show any evidence of his having reached a more liberal viewpoint. The fact that he had rendered a decision on the bench against _@ segregation ordinance passed by the city ‘of Richmond, showed that he could act Without racial bias on a judicial question. But he was not broad enough to an- swer a proper inquiry as to his attitude toward the political rights of the race. There were so many elements that én- *sered into the rejection of Judge Parker's aomination ‘that no single. group of his opponents can claim sole credit for his uigjection by the Senate. The opposition of the Negro press and organiations was vrobably equaled by the support he re- ‘seived from Southern Democrats, who ‘voted for him purely because they’ felt chat they must take a stand against’ any- thing that the Negro favored. This slog- cat reasoning forced them into the post ton of favoring a nomination urged oy Republicans as “a master political stroke” to split the solid South, A strong factor in’ bringing about the _tejection of the nomination was the de- sire of many of the Senators to rebuke the President for his failure to ask or heed “the advice and consent ‘which inhere in that body, in the matter of appo'ntments to Federal office. whether they are judt- cial or otherwise. The fact that Junge Parker, on his record, did not measure up to the full stature of the Supreme Court bench justified their position, Iu addition to this, was the general feeling that the court needed the addition of a more lib- eral trend of thought, to offset the pre- ponderance of the tendency to exalt prop- erty rights above human rights, which has characterized many of its recent decisions While it would appear to be ‘neither wise nor in accord with the facts to claim the rejection of Judge Parker as a vic- tory for the Negro. it 1s only fair to re- gard the part played by the Negro press and organizations as significant of the power that’ might be exerted by them in a righteous cause. Not nly’ did their protests carry weight with Republican Senators, but Northern Democrats as well based their opposition on that ground, Especially was this shown in the votes of the two New York Senators. both of whom are Democrats. The ontspoken speech of Senator Wagner, in which he scored Judge Parker's racial attitude, aroused considerable rancor among his Democratic colleagues from the South, “whu termed at an insult to that section. ‘There is a growing liberahsm in the politics of this country, which is destined te help the Negro in his struggle to at- tain the full nights of American citizen- ship. He will do well to align himself with that movement im opposing the ele- vation of illiberal and narrow men to high office, whether they are Republicans or Democrats. iar aes ea gee e Meme ai Ee aa ‘The action of « mob at Sherman, Tex- as, m burning the sixty thousand dollar court house in order to cremate alive a Negro being tried on a charge of assault- ing a white woman, illustrated again the tenacious hold of lynchlaw on that sec- three leaders: of} the: mob were setiously wounded” in ‘a charge upon the guards, who finally-fired: to protect themselves. ‘The ‘militia, had been ordered out by Governor Dan Moody and the town placed under virtual martial law, after the de- struction of the court house and the hang- ing of the victim's body to a tree, after it had been dragged through the Negro residence section. The Negro quarter was deserted by its two thousand residents after the mob started. its career of violence, which cul- minated in the sacking of homes and set- ting the houses afire after their occupants had fied. The mob did not fail to loot the premises’ of anything worth taking during this raid and three square blocks were left in ruins. At the outset the Gov- ernor was said to haye instructed the rangers to hold down the mob, ‘if possi- ble, but not to shoot anybody. Hampered by these restrictions, the rangers who at- tempted to defend the courthouse were unable fo hold back the rioters, notwith- standing the use of tear bombs and firing into the air’ : Later reports stated that after the first day’s violence three hundred more guards- men were sent to Sherman and the Ne- groes began to return to their abandoned and looted homes. sArrests were made by the militia of twelve young men charged with being the cingleaders of the mob. which seemed to be made up mostly of young people although there were plenty of older heads about. One report said that women with babies in arms made up part oi it during the first afternoon, but it was almost wholly masculine by night. According to the United Press report, from which we took most of these facts. the prisoner had pleaded guilty to the charge, but that does not mean anything in such cases, as the man would do that so as to escape the mob and obtain such security as a jail might furnish. ‘This is the third case of lynching and mob violence that has broken out within the last few weeks, which goes to show that the lynching spirit is hard to eradi- cate. In this last case theFé was no doubt that the prisoner would have been legal- ly punished whether mnocent or guilty, as he was.in custody and on trial after a confession of the crime. A jury was being selected as the mob started the at- tack, The outbreak was termed by the news whiter “ay wild an outburst of prim- itive émotion and rebellion agamst consti- tuted ‘authority as an American city has seen in recent years.” s Lynching has been assailed on moral grounds and on legal grounds. So high a legal authority as Chief Jus- tice Hughes once denounced Uit as murder, The fact that it is murder by fa group, rather than by an_ indrvidual, only makes the guilt more widespread and demorakwog to the community. Neither of the%¢ grounds seems to Nave aroused the community to the menace of lynching. ‘ | There is another ground that might appeal more effectively to the American conscience, or rather to the American pocket, which is sometimes mightier: That is the economic side of lynching. Tulsa. a growing city of Oklahoma, indulged in a widespread orgy of Iynching and mob siolence some years ago, in which the Negro section was almost entirely de stroyed. Tt did not do away with those who survived the attack of the mob, for they rebuilt their homes and business places, with an invincible determination to stick to their settlement. . But Eastern capital took fright at the destruction of property by mob violence and refused to make further investments where property tights were so hghtly regarded. ‘The taking of Ife without warrant is not so seriously regarded by the Ameri- can people as it should be, but wanton destruction of property ts a thing which the law is expected to prevent.

' That was ten years ago. In the meantinie practically all of AME. Gilpi's) prediction ave been disproved. The rise of the Negra particularly as an actor, has been one ol the outstanding phenomena of ‘the modera * American theatre, . Not only has there been steady employment for such stars as Robeson and Bledsoe but for dozens of minor actors as well,. The cast of “Porgy” must have included ‘twenty or more; the cast of "The Green Pastures” twice as many as that, And even in “white” productions, like "Show Boat,” Negroes have been extensively cem- ployed. The shows that have been sponsored yy the Negroes themselves have been cor- dially received; some of them have failed, others have had fair success, but all of them “have offered some sort of employment for the Negro actor. ‘The editorial concluded that if Gilpin had only had a little more patience, he would have come into his own after so many years of hardship. The remarkable thing about this editorial is the‘insight that it showed into the individuality of Gilpin, who was so pessimistic in his tendencies that he nop qnly discounted the recognition that he gained from the general public but that which came to him from the members of the race to which he’ belonged. While the path of the colored artist may not be strewn with roses, neither is that of the white aspirant. The ability to sur- mount obstacles and repel rebuffs is nec- essary to success in any line, It was unfortunate that Gilpin's tem- perament did not help him to follow such a course. It was a defect of character or temper that prevented him from achieving greater success in his profes- sion. , Men of less genius but of stronger fibre have triumphed over as great ob- stacles as he encountered in his career. Pessimism. does not help to achieve re- sults. Without adopting the role of a Pol- lyanna, one must take a more hopeful view of hfe in order to get anywhere. URBAN LEAGUE ANNIVERSARY. The celebration of the twentieth anni- versary of the founding of the Urban League movement, in the form of a din- ner at the Hotel Martinique, marked a milestone in the career of this useful or- ganiation It also gave an exceptional opportunity for a review of its widespread activities in the development of Negro life in many of the large cities of the country and a reumon of thé individuals who are v0 largely responsible for the inception and growth of. the movernent. The work of the league 1s of a nature that was sore- ly needed to meet the demands of the migratory movement that brought many of the race from rural surroundings to the strange conditions of crowded city life, 1 The necessity of an organization to meet the emergencies created by this movement was so keenly felt. that the league was born out of several kindred organizations’ to undertake the work. Supported by the volunteer efforts of ats board members of both races, the League approached in earnest the task of adust- ing the newcomers in various localities to their changed environment. Beginning with a hmited budget and a staff of two workers, the movement now has a budget for the combined local and national or- ganizations of nearly half a million dol- lars, while the paid workers number over two hundred and fifty. ‘The accomplishments of the League ex- tend to such cities as Omaha and St. Louis in the West, Richmond and Atlan- tain the South, St. Paul and Minneapo- lis in the North, Springfield and Water- bury in the Last, besides a great many other> in all of these sections. Its activi- hes include the placement of newcomers, the conduct of workers’ forums to discuss gtievances and employers’ requirements, studies of health and criminahty, the es- tablishment of day nurseries where need- ed, and such other agencies as the par- ticular locality may need in urder to bring about proper adjustments. The Urban League has been fortunate in the equality of its permanent officials, who have fulfilled their functions wath: fidelity to the purposes of the organization and gained friends for its support in vari- ous sections of the country. Its surveys on various subjects in different cities have been useful im gathering in concrete form information 4s to deficiencies that needed Proper attention. Its department of In- dustrial Relations, under the direction of T. Arnold Hill, has begun a nation-wide campaign to increase the vocational op- portumsties for Negro youth, on an inter- racial basis. This improvement of indus- trial conditions demands the cooperation | of employers and on the part of white la- bor, both organized and unorganized. The récord of the work accomphshed and the plans mapped out for future ef- fort justify the existence of the Urban League as a potential factor in the slow but steady procasses.of racial develop ment, ® HEALTH CENTRE FOR HARLEM, One of the first of the four health cen: tres planned for 1930 4s designed to serve the needs.of Harlem, Much interest has been manifested by Mayor Walker and Health Commissioner Wynne in thus mat: COMMENTS BY THE AGE EDITORS ON SAYINGS OF OTHER EDITORS aSca ee eae e appropriation “to “establish the centre will-coon be made by the city authorities, ‘The building selected for the temporary Idcation of the cen- tre is mow occupied by the Walker Studios on West 136th street. Under the same roof will be housed several volunteer health and welfare agencies, such as the Henry Street vistiing nurse service, the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health association, the De- partment of Health baby health station, and other forms of health service. . In a handbook compiled by the Neighborhood Health De- partment Committee, figures are. given showing that more babies are born on New York's east side, while more’ die in what is known as Central Har- lem, which includes the Negro district. The lowest infant Dwelling upon the attention that ts given ta good cooking in New Orleans, “The Drifter,” writing an the Nation, expatiated as follows: One cannot even read the news papers without realizing the — pre- occupation of New Orleans with good cookery, .Within a period of only two weeks, recentiy, the Drift. jer noted prominent accounts of the death and burial of two chefs, In New York City, with ten times as ‘atge a population. it is doubtful 1 there are half a doten, chels whose death would occasion more than a paragraph, xf that. Of the two New Orleans chefs whose deaths were chronicled, one was a Negro. As a “Tule the names’ of Negroes donot get into Southeen newspapers except ‘when the Learers of them get into the calaboose charged with | crime. “But the Negro who can cook—and hundreds of them still can—is hon- fored as well as the white man. Ne- ville Jarreau had been at one time the. chef of the Boston Club, the oldest organization of its kind in New Orleans, and back in the eight: ies he sad prepared 2 dinner for President Grant when the latter made a wsit ta the city. Jarreau's, slain was black, but his cooking made the mouths of white men water, and the New Orleans press did not neglect his memory when he passed. Time was when the leading expon- ents of the culinary art in Baltt- mote, Philadelpiia and even New York were found among the colored caterers. But with the American ap- petite demanding foreign fashions in cookery, their pre-eminence im that line has departed, Jn replying to the accusation that "You Folks Don't Read," the , St Louis American waxed eloquent in praise of the public hbrary system. It said: The St. Louis Public library 1s 2 splendid index to the liberal side of St. Louis. On the hist of library books that are called for most fre- quently are msny about the Negro. The open shelf where are kept scores of books on the Negro 1s depleted most of the tune, and it is nigh Im- possible to find books on Negro mu: se in, During the last ten years there have been more books publish- ed about and by Negroes than were published since the Cis! War up ‘0 1920. In these tem years white pub- lhe opinion throughout the country has swung from the ante-bellum minstrel, shiftless malaprop Negro as 2 type to that of a human being. Today the accepted type is not what at ought to be but at is a vast im- provement over the old And white St Louis, especially through the public library system, has shared in this change. Such books as “Up From Slavery.” "Uncle Tom's Cab- wn" and Paul Laurence « Dunbar's poems are on the preferred list Another splendid indication 1s the use of the city library by Colored youth. Tots and youngsters frequent the children’s department. Thev evidently add to the popularity ‘of Dunbat's poems, but not entirely so. These young colored boys and gurls ‘are the citizens of tomorrow and, thank Heaven. they are going to do far more reading than their parents. Incidentally the St Louts editor admitted a measurs of truth in the indiétment, asserting that “only one colored -St, Louisan out of every! fourteen reads even 2 colored news- paper each week.” How about other cities? ‘ Under the softewhat _ gruesome heading of “Blood and Cigarettes,” ihe Pitubargh Courier threw. some light on the tobacco industry of North Carolina, It said: The Inmeenal Revenue District sn which the State of North Carolina is included pass the fourth largest) come tax in the United States| This 1s due to the large number of cigarettes manufactured, to say noth ing of smoking tobacco and snuf, pon all of which an snternal res-_| enue tax ts levied. | North Carolmany are proud of | this industry which brings the state su’ mich wealth and prestige and af- fords work ty s0 many Negroes and whites, They say nothing, however, shout the degeaation, — partielarly of the Negro workers, many of) whem Jahon for wy low as $6 and, $7 per week, men, women and chil: dren Little can he bought or saved: on such nw wages A handful «ft! mortality rate is ‘found,in the lower “Flatbush "section of Brooklyn which helps to give Brooklyn the largest popula- tiom of all the boroughs. North Harlem also led‘ with the highest number of new cases of tuberculosis, which furnish- es an additional reason for the early establishment of this health centre. The Tuberculosis committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association is gathering information con- cerning the possible need for a private, institution to take care of colored patients suf- fering from that disease. Con- ferences are being held by physicians of ‘this and adjoin- ing states as to the necessity for such an institution. In the meantime the city is preparing to open the first of the new health centres in Harlem, where apparently the need for it is greatest. Seer | but almost ‘no Negroes make more. There are good schools in North Ca- rolina, beautiful large buildings, but these “are ground out of the blood and tears of underpaid workers. “They stave long hours until broken in health, they are thrown on the trash heaps. It is no wonder that the powers-that-be in North Caro- lina are so scary about Negro organ- wzation and Communism that will snot even permit social workers to en- ter their factories and ascertain at first hand the condition under whith the workers toil, These: are things to think of when you are buying 2 package of cigarettes.

Dr. Brown preached singing as his sermon subject, "Honoring Mother." He said in part: "Nothing less than the church of Christ has prompted the church to set aside this day of our honor in honor and in memory of our mothers. Today comes the voice of the Saviour to every one of His disciples, "Behold thy mother. How many of us had mothers in him too and in morning I want you this morning mother's Saviour be your Saviour too. We all need Christ in our hearts, thinking and action. Christ gives us power to keep ourselves under subjection. Mothers deed Christ to help them be their sons in glory. Mothers in glory, awaiting our coming this morning." At the close of his discourse twelve persons united with the church.

The minister chose his sermon from the text as recorded in the 27th verse of the 19th chapter of the Gospel according to St. John: "Then saith he to the disciple, 'Behold thy son, in interpreting this appropriate Mother's Day message, the Rev Cochran said in part: 'There are various instances recorded in the Bible in which Jesus preached to the multitude, the occasion upon which he entered the Cross at Calvary. And the admonition comes to us today. From history, we find that there have been wicked mothers as well as good ones. Nero's mother and the mother of Nero Baron are examples of mothers who have blessed posterity are those that have been gentle, kind and full of sympathy. We cannot fail to recall the unselfish mother of Moses, to remember that gentle creature who was the mother of Samuel. But the mother of Moses, who only gave her only son as a sacrifice for mankind. Let us not forget our own mothers. Flowers for the altar were contributed by Miss Elinath Josephs in memory of her mother, Miss Rosaline Boccy in memory of her mother; by Mr. and Mrs. B. H.

Ops For Reply THE ATHLETICS JACK THOMPSON BEATS FIELDS FOR WELTER TITLE Young California Negro Springs Startling Upset In Detroit Detroit—Young Jack Thompson, Oakland, Cal., Negro, became the new welterweight champion of the world here Friday night, May 9, when he won a fifteen-round decision over Jackie Fields, the title solder. It was one of the most startling upsets in recent years. Immediately after the last punch Elmer "Slim" McClelland, the referee, unhesitatingly raised the Negro's hand in victory. The crowd of 15,000 roared its approval. Fields, champion of less than a year, buried his head in his hands as he sat in his corner crushed in defeat, and cried like a baby. It was the first time that he had defended the title since he won it July 25 last year, when he defeated Joe Dundee on a toul in two rounds. Thompson is the first Negro to win the world's wetterweight since the days of Joe Walcott and the Dixie Kid. Thompson won the fight decisively and cleanly. He took ten of the fifteen rounds, with Fields taking three, and two—the ninth and twelfth even. Thompson, with the ring cradleiness of the old master, Crisis, fought a smart and hard fight. He had Fields so well and hard leg-weary after both round that the champion hardly had sufficient strength to fight back. Thompson Almost K. O'd. Thompson came dangerously near being knocked out in the second round; but after that he swarmed all over the champion, scoring repeatedly with vicious right uppercuts to the chin and left hooks to the body. In the second round Fields cracked Thompson with a sharp right cross to the chin that staggered him and made his knees buckle for an instant. Fields tore into his injured foe and whipped three more rights to the same spot and then hooked a left to the head. Thompson sagged for a moment and then covered up to escape. After wrestling Fields clinch the Negro suddenly licked out with his favorite punch, right uppercut to the jaws, and his danger woke up. After the sensational second round Thompson began to give a marvelous exhibition of his boxing skill. Up to the tenth round the battle was desperately fought with Fields still having a chance to whip over a knockout punch. Thompson began to move ahead in the seventh, and Fields began to show signs of distress at the start of the eighth. The champion made only a feeble attempt to combat the Negro's two-fisted attack to the head and body. Near the end of the round Fields ran away with the crowd booing him. Tide of Battle Turns With the start of the tenth the tide of the battle began to turn convincingly in Thompson's favor. Fields was a pathetic looking champion. He made no attempt, except in spurs, to fight back. Thompson's hard walls to the body were gradually stealing his speed and slowing him up. Fields was bleeding from a wicked cut under his left eye before the tenth rounded end. From the tenth round on the champion turred quickly, with Thompson cool and with plenty in reserve forcing him all around the ring. The battle was fought at the wetterweight championship limit of 147 pounds. Both Fields and Thompson were under this figure when they weighed in Fields tipped the beam at 1454$, while Thompson was down to 1421$. The new champion is twenty-five years old and has participated in more than 200 ring battles. Under the peculiarities of the financial arrangement for the contest he got only $2,500$, while Fields, the dethroned champion, guaranteed $37,500$, also will have a share of the purse that was to have gone to Thompson. This was the agreement, provided Fields lost.

J. - Following simple funeral services at Shiloh Baptist Church on Friday, with the Rev. John A. White, pastor, officiating, the remains of, Charles S. Gilpin, were buried beside his mother at kiverview Cemetery, Lambertville, Gilpin died Tuesday afternoon, May 6, at his home in Eldridge Park four miles from Trenton, where he retired more than a year ago following a general breakdown while touring in Luene O'Neil's "Emperor Jenes." He had to leave the cast in Woodstock, N. Y. when his voice failed him. Although he had been on the stage continuously for 30 years, it was not until 1921 that he became famous. In the season of 1921 he rose to the heights, playing the title role of "Emperor Jones," a play based on the story of an American Negro who made himself ruler of Haiti and then was conquered by his own fears and superstitions. So thrilling was his performance of that year, the Drama League selected him as one of the ten persons who had contributed most to the dramatic art for the year. He was also awarded the Spin-garn Medal. Character Acting Stood Out Had, Charles Gilpin been able to dance as well as he, could sing or play character parts vaudeville and musical comedy would have had a star performer but America's dramatic literature would have lost one of its profoundest figures—the pullman porter transplanted to an island in the West Indies where he becomes "Emperor Jones." Eugene O'Neil's imagination lifted a Pullman porter to kingly heights and by his play he did something similar for a Negro whose one sense of dramatic art was buried in the cheapness of the music hall or the drab existence of a porter whose tasks did not always reach the comparative dignity of making up Pullman berths. Charles Gilpin had no training for the stage. His was the natural gift of the Negro for the stage, and he took the Negro's route to win success in the theatre. He was born in Richmond, Va, and mixed with his regular studies he learned from one of his teachers in a Catholic school a few fundamentals of elocution. At fourteen he was "primer" at the Players' Club and occasionally, he would do a music hallurn, not to satisfy any artiste urge but to get as much money as he could to add to his wages. Joined Barnstorming Troupe In 1890 he went to Philadelphia got a job as a pressman, was fired and joined a barnstorming troupe. Stranded in Charlottessville he become a porter in a barber shop, where he was determined to remain, the income being considerably more assured and afferments greater than his salary as an actor. But a wire from the Canadian Jabele Singer turned him again to the stage and he joined the company in Hamilton, Ont., and appeared with it during 1903-04 in various parts of Canada. For a time he was a Canadian actor, and in 1904 Walker "Absassin", and then he played with Gus Hill. "Smart Set company in The Black Politician" Next he joined Robert Muts in the Pekin Stock Company of Chicago, the first colored theatre in the country, where he played everything from serious parts to blackface comedy. When Matt's company, disbanded Galpin had nothing to turn to but portering. From that time, 1913 until 1919 he mixed portering with intermittent appearances on the stage once portering Canada. In 1919 he began producing year-old Broadway shows at the Lafayette Theatre in Harlem. Got 'Break' in "Abraham Lincoln." The 'break.' The production of Drinkwater's "Abraham Lincoln" was being arranged and there was some difficulty in nudging a for a to play the part of William Curtis. Some of the dress he caught the dress rehearsal in a hair and opened with the show in Stanford, Conn. He remained in the play throughout its Broadway run. Rather casually he was chosen to play the title role in "Emperor Jones," when the Proxenetown Players put it on for a two-week run in November, 1920, at the Neighborhood Plashouse in New York. Gilpin played it "for all it was worth" and his portrayal of Britt Jones, Dullman porter made king achieved a sensation in New York, giving a performance that a crutte called "heroic stature." In 1921 Gilpin was one of ten people honored by the Drama League for the foremost contributions to dramatic art during the year. In the balloting, the select, but not the winner, of the leagues, to attend a dinner to honor the winner was withheld from him, an action that cooked protests from many stage people. Gilpin finally was invited and received the greatest of the tributes accorded the guests. Colpin wrote a number of plays, none of which achieved more than a slight fame. Among them were "Her Other Husband" "Maternity and Insurance" and "Toston Dearer". Prefix his health brook and he made his home in New Jersey he lived in Harlem. He had appeared in motion pictures and made many photographic records. Conspiracy reports in Harlem Colpin was not penniless at the time of his death. Besides the little house at Eldridge Park, he bequeath- CHARLES S. GULPIN At The Rousevelt Once in a lifetime there seems to rise a man who is hampered by every obstacle at birth but who overcomes these obstacles and rises to the great, eat heights of success and happiness. The most prominent case of this kind is that of Benjamin Dismel. Born of a race that was roundly hated, scuffed, snubbed, derided yet who rose to the greatest position in his country and became a beloved able adventure in which he vividly portrayed in one of the mightest talking pictures which has yet been produced and which will be shown at the Rosevelt Theatre for one week beginning Saturday, May 17th. The picture is named after the noted hero. No drama in recent years aroused the favorable content which "Disraeli" did while it was playing on Broadway, George Arlis, the star, is one of the greatest stage players. He enacts supersbly the life of Disraeli who, beset with intrigue and danger outwits all his enemies and the enemies of his country. The manner in which he accomplishes this, is more fascinating than any underworld drama which the screen has yet presented to the public. Al Jackson had this to say about "Disraeli" during its appearance on Broadway. It is one of the most magnificent talking pictures that has yet come to the screen. It's tremendous human appeal and the marvelous performance of Mr. Arlis thrilled me beyond words. It is the best talking picture I have ever seen. "Disgrace" will be shown only at the Rosewood Theatre At The Lafayette Theatre Ethel Waters, for years regarded as the most famous of all colored entertainers, is staging a comeback About a year ago, Miss Waters' voice began to lose its magnificent strength and volume. Last summer, she went to Europe placed herself under the care of the world's best known throat specialists and spent some six months recuperating from a slight operation which was performed on her throat. Today, her friends and her throublesome friend, and she returned to the Lafayette to see and hear her, are rejoicing in the fast that not only has she regained fullness and beauty of her voice but she is far greater than she ever was. The revue is entitled "Jazzland in 1930." It was staged by Addison Carey. The cast includes John Mason, Gaille De Gaulle, Gaston, and McCormack, the Five Chorale Bon Bons, Hilda Perlina, Grace Reeves, and Jennifer Gustafsen. Charlie Ray is master of ceremonies and leader of the wonderful little jazz band which appears on the stage during the last half of the show. The photoplay program has its feature Clarence Muse in "A Royal Romance." This is Muse's first starring vehicle and it certainly is a delightful and enchanting talking picture. Adelaide Hall one of the stars of Leslie in the "Blackbird" will be feature Leslie in the revue next week. The feature picture will be "Burning Up" with Richard Arlen as the star. At The New Douglass Fred Kohler, rum-king, in control of the town of Moran, bumps off a newspaper reporter who was sent down by the Chicago papers to uncover a story. This is but one of the many thrilling situations in "Road House Nights", which will be presented at the New Douglas Theatre for five days beginning Thursday, May 15. "Roadhouse Nights" is surely one of the best stories of its kind since "Underworld". It is a tale of Chicago racketering, rum running and a romance between a drunken reporter and a cabaret singer. The manner in which it is told will keep you gripping the arms of your seats from sheer excitement and fascination. Beth Hecht, the author, who also wrote the stage success "Front Page" and "Underworld" knows his subject perfectly. As a veteran newspaper man who covered under- led to his widow, whose stage name was Aima Bounn, several small bank accounts. He left his son, Paul Gulph of Philadelphia, a $1,000 insurance policy. Funeral services were held Monday, with many of his friends of the stage being prominent among the mourners. The services were held from Shiloh Baptist Church with the pastor, the Rev. J. A. White, ordination, assisted by the Rev. A. F. Jensen, pastor of St. Monica's Montessori education the late star, telling of his loyalty to the race. The honors pastor bearers included Heddol Gibbs, James and Lewis Siler, Jesse Shop Charles, Moore Dr. Cannon Irving Jones, and Carl Duncan, all of New York City. J.

OLD SCHOOL SCHOOL SCHOOL The contention of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters through its attorney Frank P. Walsh is, that since Pullman regulations' require its employees to go where they are sent and the fact that no human being "dead or alive" can be removed from a train while enroute without the knowledge of the crew, it is an incumbent duty of the Pullman Company to make public what information it has on the case. 145th STREET Bet. 7th & 8th Aves.

Again, how is it possible to expect the proceedings of such a large group to be kept secret and unknown to outsiders or other musicians? But apparently certain officials and members of the Clerf Club expected that the disposition of the money paid by New York City to the Clerf Club for the two properties in 53rd street, condemned and taken over by the city, would remain a sealed matter to those directly concerned. Else why should officials question members of the club as to how information reached us, and if they Imperial Auditorium 160-64 West 129th St., New York City J.

Cease the futility of tracing the event. Since we are on the question of the Clef Club we may as well record the report that the widow of James R. Europe had filed a claim with the club for an allotment of the money. You might recall that in a previous article here, mention was made that Lt. James Reese Europe, deceased, and Deacon Johnson, who had done, perhaps, most for the club in their respective times, seemed to be debarred from any share of the money. Following the article we learned of the claim of Jim's widow. Report says that the widow's claim has been rejected. Another report is that the claim might be reopened for consideration. Some members of the club argue that the club was reorganized in 1922 (Jim died in 1919) and figure this makes his widow's claim ineligible for consideration. Besides, they further ask, must the club be held responsible for every one who did something for it, who died or was unfinancial? Other musicians think that the first resident of the Clet Club, who labored and built the foundation for posterity, should receive and get some recognition through his widow for the years of toil and worry he fought to keep intact the institution which is the cause of many musicians today earning their daily bread. Some of those who received their late wife beheaded to say that they would have been willing to forego part of what they received for the use of the widow had this been suggested, especially in view of the fact that she is and has been for some time reported sick and confined to her bed. Seven widows or next of kin have received their share since the Bryant Hall meeting, on proving to a committee designated for that purpose the legitimacy of their claim. These persons were purportedly the heirs of persons who died in good standing as Clerf Club members Dann, Jackson, heard via radio Wednesday night at Hot Feet Club, downtown, has, a combination of about six musicians, who show good promise of developing into a first-grade orchestra.

A. will be interested in some of the books to be-found in the division of Negro Literature and History on the third floor. The material on African music includes "Twenty-four-Negro Melodies" by S. Coleridge Taylor, with a preface on the musical folio lore of Africa and America; and "Songs and tales of the Dark Contient" by C. K. Simango and M. C. both native Africans. "Jamaican Song and Story" by Walter Jekyll gives the melodies of West Indian folk songs and notes African and English influences. The American Negro's contribution to music fills many volumes. "A Collection of Revival Hymns and Plantation Melodies" by the Rev. Marshall W. Taylor, published in 1882, was one of the first works of its kind, the author feeling called upon to rescue the songs "lest they perish from the minds of men." In "The Jubilee Singers," published in 1873, G. D. Pike tells of the famous group of people from Fiske University whose performances were appreciated so tremendously both at home and abroad. "Music and Some Highly Musical People" is a mine of information regarding the Negro's musical achievements in America, up to 1879 "The Book of American Negro Spirituals" by James Weldon Johnson, with musical arrangements by Rosamond Johnson, is a classic in its field. Other important works on the spiritual are by such well known authorities as Hary T. Burleigh, Eva A. Jessive and Nathaniel R. Dett. "The Blues" by W. C. Handy deals with another unique and important type of folk music. Other available material ranges from a rare plamplet on "Bhng Tom" and a charming portrait engraving of "The Black Swan" to Gordon Taylor's autobiography and news of the latest conquests of the Hampton Singers who, country by country are endearing themselves to the whole of Furgeen. Portrait Sketches by Beauford De Laney are being shown in the Division of Negro History and Literature. Mr. De Laney was born in Tennessee and received his first art training from Mr. Lloyd Bransom, the well known artist of Knoxville. He has spent the last five years in Boston studying in the art schools and exploring the museums. He came to New York in the May of last year and had his first public show in the following February, being one of the Four Sunday Painters exhibiting at the Whitney Studio Galleries. Work is being received from the annual art students' exhibition which will be held from June 1 to July 1st. Atty. James C. Thomas Proves Citizenship Of Chinese Youth After a battle of over five months, Attorney James C Thomas, former Assistant United States Attorney, has brought to a successful end the battle to prove the citizenship of a Chinese lad by the name of Fong Bing Len. The decision was rendered favorable over strenuous opposition on behalf of the Government in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and so on Thursday, May 8, Fong left Ellis Island. Fong Len is the son of Fong Ory, who runs a laundry a 161st East 100th street, the Bronx Fong, the father of a California and an American citizen. He was back to China in 1916 and 1917, and when he returned to this country he left in the Orient a baby, none other than Fong Bing Len. Last year Len was sent for by his father and he arrived on December 12. His father pointed out that the son of an American born in China is an American, by treaties between the two republics, started to usher him past the immigrant authorities. Now the boy is quite mature in stature and appearance and looked nearer 20 than 12 to the authorities. They refused to let the boy pass and ordered him sent back to China. Fong retained James C. Thomas, former Assistant United States Attorney, to represent him and the fight started.

ADMISSION 50 CENTS --- POET'S CORNER To Our Mothers Today we set apart to honor them, Who through the centuries past, Have been the mothers of our men And women, too. Yet none had ever thought But what it was her due, To bring us to this world, Through a dark Gethsemane. For years we had forgot It was her loving care That nursed us through our ills, Add dried our childish tears. Who all her courage gave When troubles came our way, Who burst the prison bars And set her loved ones free. Who kept a smiling face, Who hid a heart of pain. When ali around was dark, Till sun shone forth again. And, who, when tired and worn, God called her home to rest, Was so loathe to go. And so we come today in memory of them Who through the centuries past Have been the mothers of our men And women too. How Wise Are You? Post offices were first established in 464.

Do not put too much money in your children's pockets on going to school; it is sewing the seeds of prodigality. Look out for the deserving poor of your own neighborhood and give them what you can spare. A gossip has no home and very few fiends. If you are ever so wise, there are many things on which you are ignorant. In the morning thine on what you are to do in the day; and at night think on what you have done. "What is the real good?" I asked in a musing mood. Order, said the law court; Knowledge, said the school. Truth, said the wise man, Pleasure sad the fool. Love, said the maiden; Beauty, said the page; Freedom, said the dreamer; How, said the sage. Fame, said the soldier; Equity, said the seer. Spake my heart full sadly; "The answer is not here."

Livingstone College To Get $60,000 From The B. N. Duke Estate Salisbury, N. C.—President W. J. Trent of Livingstone College received an official communication last week from the representative of the estate of the late B. N. Duke, stating that Livingstone College would receive $60,000, instead of the original $25,000 pledged to the Price Memorial Campaign. The increase in the amount of the gift is due to a tremendous raise in the value of shares of the Duke Power Company stock which had been held in trust for the college President Trent announced that $25,000 of this amount would be applied to the general building fund (the Price campaign), and the other $35,000 will be used as a permanent endowment.

MY PHILOSOPHY "Green Pastures," a recent colored drama on Broadway, is playing to capacity houses. I wonder just what the colored folk get out of the play? To me, one part is very significant. A man portrays God—he says, "I am de Lord." Perhaps this may be a crude way of expressing a most vital truth, but it is a truth nevertheless. colored folk get out of the play? To me, one part is very significant. A man portrays God he says, "I am de Lord." Perhaps this may be a crude way of expressing a most vital truth, but it is a truth nevertheless. All men and women, just in the proportion as they possess goodness, so they possess, and are, God. Only those who have been conscious of those have been able to do the most with life and its opportunities. Many claim to have a part with God, and because of their infamous conduct have circulated false and contorted ideas of Him. Be that as it may—every wise man admits of God, and for the black man there must be a God in sympathy with his condition, and status—or he is lost. So that God must be black. Black, then, will He understand the discrimination, disfranchisement, unemployment and all other difficulties to which His people are subjected? I would not minimize the duty of men to the church, but the day has come when we must find God outside of the church. We, as members of the race, must typify God in our conduct toward one another, and work together for a solution to our peculiar problems The White God must needs be in sympathy with His own, so we have discovered that grudgingly permitting us the crumbs that fall from His table. He hides us look to our own for succor. New Dress Cleaning Shop Right on Seventh avenue at 2342, near 137th street, is a very smart shop known as the Savoy Cleaners and Dyers.

TUCKER Pharmacist and Chemist Our skin in every day life is constantly undergoing many ordeals which even, the healthiest skin, cangot withstand. For instance, the noxious effects on the skin of long motoring, railway journeys, smoky, close or dusty atmosphere, chilly climate, sea air, heat wave and exposure to hot sun, are only too well known. As a consequence, the pera get clogged and their function of expelling the impurities of the blood is interfered with. When these impurities are absorbed in the system they appear on the skin in different forms, such as scaly eruptions, black spots, named blackheads and humid mattery pimples which sometimes develop into serious boils. These morbid affections of the skin chiefly appear on and around the nose, the chin and forehead, because these are the parts always uncovered and therefore more exposed to the changing environments. It should be borne in mind, however, that the rest of the body is equally susceptible. The pale, shallow and unhealthy appearance of the skin is similarly caused by the loss of activity of the glands and pores of the skin. If these are choked up and loaded with foreign matter such as dirt or dust particles, it is only too obvious that their function will not be fulfilled, with the consequence that these impurities will set up irritation in the pores and not only result in blechiness, but in many other cutaneous disteances. face especially, is a mass of interwoven muscular fibres overlaid with skin. The skin of your face seems like a solid layer. It is really porous—like a sponge filled with thousands of open pores. The pores are tiny, yet the particles of dirt are many times smaller, and these invisible particles of dirt fall on the face, work into the pores, get ground down tight. When you wash your face the surface dirt is removed, the pore dirt however, is left in the pores hiding from the wash cloth, causing what cosmeticians call "gray-skin" which in reality is dark skin. If allowed to remain too long—blackheads result. Our chief task in the care of the face, is keeping the glands constantly in proper working order. This object is accomplished by the employment of preparations which impart new vitality and charm to the skin. They are: 1—Cold Cream. 2—Massage Cream. 3—Vanishing Cream. Next week the types of these three creams that can be bought on the market, and how they are best used will be discussed. N. J. Republican Women To Hold Tenth Annual Conference Atlantic City, N.

Texas Mob Burns Court House; Lynches Negro (Continued from Page One) When the fire started and the Sherman Fire Department brought their equipment into play, members of the mob cut the hose as fast as it was laid and the firemen were rendered impotent. Rolting was renewed at night when National Guardmen, who had been ordered out by Governor Moody, arrived and attempted to disperse the crowds. As soon as they arrived they wree placed on guard around the smouldering rums of the Court House, around which the mob surged. The commanders of the Rangers had assured the leaders of the mob that hughes had persisted in the flames, but he was met with doubt down this still standing walls of the building and finding the body of the Negro. While the fire was in progress leaders of the freezing crowd had tried to level the walls of the building with dynamite but the attempt failed. Rioters Charge on Troops The infurred men, fearing they had been balked, then split into two sections. One party stormed the county jail. The other, armed with bottles and other missiles charged the National Guard cordon drawn around the court house runs. Each division of the mob was composed of several hundred men and youths. They were repulsed and when they made a second attempt, the commander of the militia unit of sixty men gave orders to fire. The volley drew the mob back with two of its number wounded. Jeb Brown, a youth of 21, was fatally shot in the neck. The other man was in the court. After midnight the mob obtained the body of the Negro and dragged it through city streets, ending their ghastly march in the Negro district where it was tossed on a pile of burning timbers. While it burned the routers fired other buildings in the neighborhood. Governor Moody has ordered wholesale arrests and it is expected that the National Guardmen, the Rangers, and local peace officers into such a number of the mzb who are personally known to them.

In the evening, the Senior Choir rendered a Mother's Day Cantata which was THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYEES By JAMES H HOGANS THE CHAIRMAN When the members of Local Committee C in the New York district elected A. B. Logan, their chairman, to succeed himself as the presiding officer of their deliberations at the monthly meetings of the committee on Thursday of last week, on the surface there was nothing unusual in the occurrence. This manner of honoring a chairman had been enacted before. In some districts, it has been said, the election of same chairman is perpetual. On this occasion, however, the incident marked the beginning of a new objective in the unctions of this body, according to the employee representatives who was seen after the meeting. "Heretofore," said this member, our committee has concerned itself (that is, I should say, the employee representatives) mostly with the employees, what may the future medium of settling these matters is another question. We call them, because no body of representatives, whether they were outsiders or insiders, after hearing all the evidence in such cases, could consciously vote otherwise than the management's actions in such cases. These labor leaders. These labor chiefs contend that the method is merely a makeshift or gesture for the settling of industrial questions by simple action, yet that as it may, the fact remains, so far as the porters and maids are concerned, that this is the only medium they have at present dealing with their employer. We call them, because what may the future medium of settling these matters is another question. In the meanwhile Local Committee C in the New York district is endeavoring to utilize this method to its fullest extent in the management's actions in such cases. According to the representative, who was quoted, the unanimous re-election of Chairman Logan was "But the new policy of this committee, so far as the employee representatives are concerned, is to continue fighting for the employee treated. But, on the other hand, our main objective now is to give more attention to those having complaints and grievances which have merit or a basis for contention. To appreciate that statement and what preceded it, it is necessary to know something about Local Committee C_i its functions and its personnel. Tersely, Local Committee C_i is the porters and maids unit of the Pullman Corporation. Its function is to labor for the adjustments and settlement of local troubles which arise from time to time between the Pullman management in a district and these employees. It also is empowered to suggest and recommend to the Pullman management the best way to adjust these troubles equitably. Its powers, however, are merely those of a first or lower court, and are decidedly local in character, each district having its own committee. It has nothing to do with decisions. Its only duty is to see that this agreement is followed and respected. So much for the moral and legal end of the committee's duties. We now come to its personnel. Its personnel consists of one representative for every 20 employees, the president, and a number of representatives. Thus, in the New York district, which carries about 1000 porters and maids, there are ten representatives on the local committee, five of which represent the Pullman managers, and five of the employees. The former are appointed; the latter are elected by ballot from among their group. The same method is followed in the formation of all groups of employees, under the plan of employee representation, of dealing with employees, which is commonly known as the "company union" plan, has come in for severe criticism from enjoyed by all; Miss Wilfred Walker, a recitation. The entire program for the day was under the direction of Mrs. Ada Bell. Miss Connie Clark, recitation, "A letter to Mother." Mrs. Isabel Gibbons gave a paper on "Mother." We are glad to report that Waverly Fisher, who encountered a very serious accident this week, is doing nicely at the Greenwich Hospital and is expected to recover.

C., and a resident here at Bethel Church, was a loyal member of Bethel Church and is survived by four daughters, eight grandchildren and one great grandchild, and a host of friends.

WATERBURY CONN Waterbury, Conn.—The daughter of Mrs. Nelson of 99 Pearl street was struck by an auto and suffered a broken shoulder last week. She was taken to the hospital.

The Brass City Giants were defecated by the Washington Hill nine, 8-6, before 3,000 fans at Hanton Park on May 4.

Jenkins and Taylor hit two baggers, scoring three of their team's runs, and Sims made a triple. The B. F. David Jr. of 7 Vine St who has been very ill, is getting about nicely. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wells of 44 Fast Hawkins street and Mrs. Frank Freeman of 26 Vine Street were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. David Sunday, May 4th. The services at Graco Baptist Church Maw were wonderful. Rev W. Reid was delightful. Sub 15, Susan Go "Forward." After preaching 6 candidates were baptized. The Sunday school was well attended and the B. Y. P. U. was a big success. After preaching services at 7-45, Dr. Reed extended the right hand of fellowship to 9 New labor leaders. These labor chiefs contend that the method is merely a makeshift or gesture for the settling of industrial questions between employer and employee. Be that as it may, the fact remains, so far as the porters and maids are involved in the settling, the only medium they have at present dealing with their employer. What may happen, or what may the future medium of settling these matters is another question. In the meanwhile Local Committee C, in the New York district is endeavoring to utilize this method to its fullest extent. He was going to the representative, who was quoted, the unanimous re-election of Chairman Logan was due in a large measure to his industrial precepition and his acuteness in seeing the other fellow's point of view. Speaking of the Pullman method of dealing with the porters, at a banquet given in his honor, Parker made a significant remark regarding the porter plan of employee representation. Some speaker preceding him had in some way referred to the plan and its weakness for the adjustment in writing under the statement, Mr. Parker declared that the weakness of the plan didn't lie so much in its motive as it did in its functioning, and he attributed the latter phase of the statement to members who were elected to serve as representatives on the plan. A statement like that emanating from so conservative a Pullmanite as Perry Parker,was suggestive, to say the least. At any rate, this statement is not true. The porters and maids in the various Pullman districts have at present to which they may present their suggestions and grievances. And, as in the case of the New York District, the work of the agency representative that is elected to do the work of a chairman. Mett Haven Yard News How busy must a man be to be called busy?

NEW YORK TELEPHONE COMPANY (Continued from Page One) There are at present six hundred students from India in the United States, scattered in almost every state of the Union. Of that number the city of New York has nearly one hundred and fifty. New York, being the gateway to the Eastern Hemisphere, no wonder, claims the admiration and love of many young Hindus. Adventurous and Self-Supporting The type of the Hindu students that comes to the United States is entirely different from the type that goes to the Continent of Europe, England and Japan. The latter come from rich households and seek education, chiefly postgraduate, for ornamental purposes or for a definite purpose, mainly industrial. They also however now caught in the revolutionary spirit of their country and are turning their education into practical and powerful instrument, not only for the liberation of their country, but also for its upbuilding. We must have over five thousand students, all over Europe, including Russia, and over five hundred in Japan and and China. The Hindu students in America, however, come from poor but cultured households. Mostly they are rebels against the prevailing educational, political and social conditions of the country. They are the romanticists of the radical student body in India, who have read all the proscribed literature and who are deeply stirred by the American, French and the Russian revolutions. Since they were unable to do something, substantial on the spot, they have taken to adventuring on a pilgrimage to all the lands where they have been hailed as a national goddess. That is why this type is more prevalent in the United States, and recently in Mexico, and Central and South America. Hindu students, having limited means at their command, are mostly self-supporting. This is a fortunate thing, for they have been able to fit themselves into the American institutions at a closer range. What is of still greater importance is their willingness to do any kind of work, downright menual, hard or any other kind. When they go back home their experience will be a great asset to them in their leadership of social reform. Doing Heroic Work But what are the Hindu students doing besides studying in the United States? They are doing, in many instances, single-handed and without material resources, heroic work in educating the American public and counteracting the very widespread British propaganda in this country. Let us illustrate by what the Hindu students are doing in New York City. Hindustan Students Association of America, Inc., 's nation-wide organization in the United States. The New York Chapter is one of its very important centers of activity. Its record has been precurrent, especially since its reorganization by Hemendra K. Rakhit. Mr. Rakhit is one of the original members who founded the Association about seventeen years ago. He is now its directing genius. He does not hold any official position us such in the organization, except that of chief editor of the Hindu-Lance Student, a monthly publica- CHRISTIAN HOSPITAL ```markdown ``` 'NARAYAN' B, PARULEKAR Moving Spirit of the Hindustan Students' Association of America.

RAKHIT One of the Volunteers Mahatma Gandhi led on his Famous March to the Sea. $ ^{c}$ tion of the Association. His in- fluence has been felt in every chap- ter of the association. The headquarters of the Hindustan Association, the New York Chapter 15 is in International House, that miniature League of Nations situated at 500 Riverside Drive, right opposite Grant's Tomb. In that center the membership of the Hindu students is very small, because of their insufficient means. But that small group exercises a tremendous cultural influence and has thus become a majority in International House. Its director has repeatedly said that the Hindu students fill in all the gaps that otherwise may be apparent to inside observers. The House each year organizes a House holds every year a National Night. From every group the House stands a deficit. But when the Hindu group holds its National Night, not only all that deficit is wiped away but a surplus is created. A Classic Drama A Classic Drama What is the answer to it? The sincerity, simplicity and truthfulness of the activities of the Hindu group have won over not only all classes of Americans, but also the student population. The original activities of this handful of students are felt in the remote corners of the United-States, Canada, South America, and unknown parts of Eastern Europe and Asia. This year the Hindu students enacted in an amateurish way, but with considerable charm and dramatic beauty, a classical dramatic piece, entitled "King Harischandra." It depicts the power of truthfulness over deceit, thus interpreting the Mahatma's movement of Satyagrahra, or insistence upon truth. Needless to say that the piece was a great success and has been repeated twice since it was originally acted two months ago. This little body of students have exerted influence without obtruding upon the Indian National Congress, which granted their request by sending Mrs. Sarojini Nadu to the United States on a special lecture tour. On their own behalf, the Hindu students have sent able debaters to Williamstown Institute of Politics, and various other educational and Christian Fellowship conferences. In all university centers their activities are outstanding. Mr. Rakhit, besides being the guiding genius of the Hinduist Students Association, is one of the executive officers of International House. His position is that of a social secretary. He hears an equal responsibility with others in the success of that fine institution, of which all citizens of New York should be really proud Marched With Gandhi. Another outstanding member among these students is Naranaj B. Parulekar. He was the most beloved member by all nationality groups in the International House. He left for India last Fall through Europe and the Near East. He was one of the members of the Volunteer Corps that marched to the eaew Mahatma Gandhi just a few weeks earlier. Other students who have been in this country for a long time and have finished their studies have taken up other fields of activity in the interest of their country. Of these, H G Gobil has devoted himself to disseminate an accurate appreciation of Indian Art. T. H. K. Rezime, secretary of the Indian Independence League, 15 Park Row, has been in direct and constant touch with Mahatma Gandhi. Mr Rezime has been the instrument of putting the American public into an intimate contact with the Mahatma. There is another important group of activities headed by Sail- endranath Ghose, with headquarters at 31 Union Square. The organization of Mr. Ghose is now called the Indian Foreign Relations Committee. Its purpose is to keep those members of the United States Senate, who look with favor upon India's struggle for freedom, well posted. Its aim is obvious enough. When the proper moment strikes, the Indian Foreign Relations Committee will press vigorously for the recognition of India's independence by the United States government. Upon a similar message there is another member of the Hindu student body of America, who is visiting various capitals of Europe. His name is Dr. Taranakanth Das. A. BILIOUS "A BOUT three years ago I had illus bella spills," says Mrs. Charles Perkins, 3529 Twelfth Avenue, North, Birmingham, Ala. "When I would let myself get bilious, I would have severe headaches, and far very bad after one of these headaches. But after I would take Black-Draught, my head would get easy, and it would be some time before I had another spell. I certainly can recommend Black-Draught for biliousness and constipation."

THEDFORDS Black Draught For Constipation, Indigestion, Billiousness The first to BLACK DRAGHT NOVEMBER BLACK DRAGHT What is the attitude of the Hindu students towards Mahatma Gandhi's movement? All of them without hesitation are for complete independence of India, but the majority of them would not hesitate to resort to violence. At any rate they would not make nonviolence a cardinal principle of the Indian revolution. Will they go back to Iudia? Oh, yes; that they will. All of them feel that the mission of their life is back home. They are all rebels one sort of the rebellion which have no meaning in the United States. They are fitted by training, practice and observation to become the regenerators of their nation,' and stolely they will go back to India. Since they are acquainted with all branches of learning, both technical and academic, their services will be most welcome in a liberated India. 2 OHIO CONVICTS DIE IN MACHINE GUN ACCIDENT Columbus, Ohio.—Two long term convicts were killed as they slept and a third wounded at the State Penitentiary here on Thursday, May 8, when a machine gun manned by members of the Ohio National Guard was accidentally discharged. Discharge of the machine gun, which had been mounted in front of the prison chapel Wednesday night after prisoners in the stockade began burning tents in the prison stockade, was declared accidental in an official report to Adjutant General Arthur W. Reynolds. The convicts killed by the shots were Albert W. Freeman 25, Negro, of Cleveland, serving ten to twenty-five years for manslaughter. Ernest Warren, 45, Negro, of Cleveland, serving two to twenty years for cutting with intent to wound, was slightly hurt when grazed by one of the bullets. Col.
