Charge British Soldiers Fired On Crowd of Indian Men, Women and Children In Peshawar Massacre
Scores of Men and Women Unresisting Victims Of Bullets From Military Rifles Fired Into Bared Breasts; Charge Is Made That Mahommedans Were Burned
A communication from The New York Age's special correspondent in Bombay, India, dated May 2 tells of the tragedies that happened at Peshawar on April 22, when, it is alleged, British soldiers in armored cars drove headlong into crowds of unarmed volunteers, killing at least three and wounding many others.
It is alleged also that a troop of English soldiers came on the scene and began firing pointblank into the crowd, in which were many women and children.
The communication tells of incidents leading up to the wholesale killing of natives on the authority of a report made by Maulana Abdul Kadir Kasuri, president of the Punjab Provincial-Congress Committee, and president of a Peshawar Saggraa Committee. The British government had instituted a censor over all official statements coming from Peshawar, suppressing all news that told of the real conditions.
The report states:
Soldiers Fired On Crowd.
Under such circumstances, when from 3 to 10 in the morning, all these events were taking place, and there were no more arrests to be made, and the crowd throughout

Deputation Is Stopped
"It is well known that the A. I. C. cDPutation that went to make inquiries into the working of the A. W. Frontier regulations was stopped at Attock early in the morning of April 22 and not allowed to proceed any further. Meanwhile, all the prominent Congress leaders and workers, with a large crowd had assembled at the Peshawar railway station for a fitting reception to the deputation.
"When the news came through that the deputation was not allowed to come to Peshawar, a large procession was; taken out in the city, and in the evening a mass meeting was held to protest against the repressive policy of the government and at the meeting that the decision of the Frontier Congress Committee to picket the five liquor shops in the city would be given due effect on the morning of the 23rd."
"The frontier government, seeing the businesslike preparations made by the Congress Committee fearing the effect on the people, decided to arrest the important leaders of the army and 6 in the early hours of the morning, the following six persons were arrested;
Six Leaders Arrested
"Khan Ali Gul Khan, vice-president, Provincial C. C.
"M. Abdul Rahim, member Provincial Congress Committee.
"Lala Pera Khan, general secretary, Frontier Provincial C. C.
"Acharajar Raza, volunteered.
"Abduj Rehman, member Navalavian Bharat Sabha.
"Rahim Buksha Gazanavai, member Navajavan Bharat Sabha. "At six o'clock in the morning, when the congressmen came to know of the arrests of the six leaders, they met in the Congress Committee office and there they learned that warrants were out against Syed Lal Babsah, member A. I. C. C. and president War Council, and M. Mahomed Khan, secretary Congress Committee. "Immediately, without any police officers, these two men were taken in a procession to the police station just inside the Kabuli Gate and handed over to the police officer in charge. The crowd then in a peaceful manner came back to the Congress office. Arrangements for the picketing were carried out and batches of volunteers were put on duty opposite the five liquor shops. "At sunrise, as soon as news got abroad that their leaders had been arrested, there was a spontaneous Haralat all over the city.
"At about 9.30, when a huge crowd was standing peacefully in front of the Congress. Committee offices, a sub-inspector of police, with armed constables, came in a boat with warrants or an arrest notice, and made a M-M box. The crowd made way and the two men came out of the office and were put in 'the lorry by the sub-inspector and taken to town,
A Peaceful Crowd.
This fact should be noted that although it was by now a little past ten, and the leaders had been artisted and some of them had voluntarily offered themselves for artists, and there was a complete harital in the city, nothing had been done by the crowd to give the
least cause for the officers to have any apprehension.

"Por ten year Chairman Koenig persisted in this fight.

Also, Harlem has gained increased representation in the Republican Party. "We feel that this honoring of Mr. Koenig is a small token of appreciation of his good efforts for the people of Harlem."
Doctors Who Resigned From North Harlem Medical Society Have Now Formed The Manhattan Med. Society
James B. Allen, State Director of Education, I.B.P.O.E.of W., Makes Reply To Charges of Mrs. B. Walker
Following close upon the resigning of more than thirty physicians and surgeons from membership in the North Harlem Medical Association came the formal organizing by them of the Manhattan Medical Society. The new group carried out its plans at a meeting held in the rooms of the Association of Trade and Commerce, 2370 Seventh avenue, and its roster of members is representative of most of the most progressive and capable men in the profession in Harlem. Only a few of the outstanding physicians of the community elected to remain with the old organization, according to some, of the members of the new group. It is pointed out that both the former president and secretary of the North Harlem Society are members and officers of the Manhattan Society, one as vice-president, the other as treasurer.
A statement by one of the officers gives as the new society's platform "an attitude of co-operation, towards all community health efforts and expects to do all that it can towards carrying out a constructive effort for the benefit of the community, the race and the profession." The statement says that the society "takes the position that the benefit of the race and the profession as a whole transcends individual advancement and promotion."
James B. Allen, who is state director for New York of the Commission of Education of the Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. E. of W. under the national commissioner, William C. Hueston of Gary, Ind, takes issue with the statement attributed to Mrs. Bessie Walker of Eureka Temple, No. 22, in last week's issue of The Age, with reference to the proposed educational rally which she had planned for Sunday afternoon, May 18, at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church. Mrs. Walker charged that through the opposition of Mr. Allen, she was unable to get the necessary dispensation from Commissioner Hueston and so had to cancel the meeting after she had arranged a program which included "the appearance of Aida Ward, of Leslie's "Blackbirds" and Daniel H. Haynes, of "The Green Pastures."
Mr. Allen's Reply.
Mr. Allen has sent in the following letter, giving his explanation of the matter:
An article appearing in your issue of May 24, 1930, supposedly a statement by Daughter Bessie Walker of Eureka Temple...charges me for the failure. Eureka Temple...holds their educational program on Sunday, May 18, at Mother Zion A. M. E. Church has just been called to my attention.
"I desire, at this time, to state that every allegation in this article is incorrect, except the general one that I stopped this affair from being held. I do not know Dgt. Walker personally, and while my recollection serves me that I spoke to her on the train coming from Saratoga last year I do not believe that conversation had six words in it. I have never, written Dgt. Walker a letter or had any other communication with her regarding Education on Week New York City, or did I have with her Templer, other than to advise them that I would expect to see a dispensation granted to them from the office of the Commissioner of Filtration.
Women Are Represented:
When, therefore, Dgt. Walker makes the statement that I asked her to turn over money to me raised by anything she did, I am forced to say that this is unqualifiedly false. When Dgt. Walker charges that the women raise large sums and have no representation in the awarding of scholarships, I desire to inform you, and the public through you, that as members of the Board of Education, are Grand Dgt. Ruler Abbie M. Johnson; Grand Dgt. Secretary Emma V. Kelley, and Past Dgt. Ruler Elizabeth Carter, the general chairman for Education in the female auxiliary known to the public as the Daughter Elks, and who is directly responsible to the Commissioner of Education.
The oratorical contest held in New York City had none of the features of a failure. In conclusion I desire to say that this whole affair was an attempt on the part of the Walker to have her Temple believe that she had concurrent authority with the director, who
In giving a reason for the emation of the new body, the statement declares that, this organization is composed mainly of former members of the North Harlem Medical. Society; who resigned to protest over the actions of the body in adopting an attitude of hostility to the Department of Hospitals and Harlem Hospital over the reorganization of the latter.
Officers elected at the organization meeting were Dr. James L. Wilson, president; Dr. Charles C. Middleton, vice-president; Dr. Robert Wilkinson, secretary; Dr. David Ellis, treasurer. Members of the executive committee are Dr. Allen Graves, M. R. Alexander, Paul Collins, L. T. Wright, James L. Wilson, Charles C. Middleton, Harold Ellis, Juno N. Centersos and Robert Wilkinson.
North Harlem Medical Society Elects Officers
At a meeting of the North Harlem Medical Society, held on Monday, May 26, Dr. Peter M. Murray was elected president and Dr. Claire A. Petoni, secretary.
The resignations of 33 were held on the table and it was decided to conduct the society along the Ideas laid down on the program.
State Director of O.E.of W., Makes of Mrs. B. Walker takes entire responsibility for the action taken in barring the meeting of Sunday, May 18. I can say that Eureka Temple, being the temple attached to my lodge, no one, regardless to whether they were a member of that temple or not, could have induced me to take any action against them, other than in my own opinion was in keeping with the laws of the Order.
"I have no knowledge of the position Dgt. Walker held in connection with the Department of Education, I am dealing purely with Eureka Temple. Anyone else is merely an incident.
"Thanking you in advance for the many courtesies extended to me by your paper during Educational Week I am, yours very faithfully,
"JAMES B. ALLEN,
"State Director of Education."
Florida Man Guilty Of Killing Wife, Son And Negro Servant
Sebring, Dla.—Testimony intended to show that William R. Carver, former Philadelphia real estate operator, shot and killed his Negro servant, Ben Whitehead, after the Negro had killed Carver's wife and infant son with a hatchet, was given by defense counsel witnesses Saturday, May 17, in the trial of Carver charged with the murder of his wife.
Tom Mitchell, owner of the house in which the Carver's lived on April 2, the date of the triple killing, related a conversation he had with Carver shortly after the tragedy.
"I can't see why I should have all this." Mitchell quoted Carver as having said. "I wish I had got mine over there while I was in the army I've been through hell once and now have nothing to live for. I wish I had had a shotgun. I would have made a sieve out of that Negro." A-coroner's jury, soon after the triple killings, accepted Carver's statement as to how the slayings occurred, and returned a verdict of justifiable homicide.
The following day, however, an investigation was started after blood-stained clothing, said to have been worn by Carver, had been found in his home. Carver was arrested and a grand jury later indicted him for all three killings. The jury found Carver guilty as charged on Monday after a short deliberation.

O
Federal Judge In Mississippi Who Is Seeking Promotion Meets Storm Of Objection Because.of Race Bias
Washington, D. C.—Announcement in the daily press that Judge Edwin Holmes of the Federal Court Southern. District for mississippi, will be among the names offered to President Hoover for appointment to fill the new Judgeship on the Circuit Court of Appeals for the fifth Federal Circuit at New Orleans, has provoked a storm of protests from Negroes charge therist with incarceration, charge the justice against Negro lawyers in open court. Affidavits have been received by the White House in support of these allegations. On one occasion Judge Holmes is accused of expressing dissatisfaction over B. A. Green, Mayor of Bound Bayou, and a Harvard graduate representing white clients in the Federal Court at Clarkesdale. Miss.
When the case of Alex Henry was called for trial at the October term in 1928, Attorney Green was unable to be present, having been seriously ill since September 25 of that year. Because of the unavoidable absence of his legal representative, a continuance was asked.
The following dialogue is alleged to have taken place between Judge Holmes and Henry:
Henry: "Your Honor, my attorney is a very sick man and I have been informed that he has filed a petition with the court asking a continuance of my case.
Judge Holmes: "Who is your attorney?"
Henry: "Ben Green of Mound Bayou.
Judge Holmes: "Are you a white man?"
Henry: "I am."
Judge Holmes: "Did you not know that Ben Green was a Negro who employed you to defend you?"
Henry; "I did."
Judge Holmes: "Then why did you employ him to defend you?"
Henry: "Because I was told that he was an attorney of good-standing before the court and could properly present my case in this court.
Judge Holmes: "I will give you until tomorrow morning to employ a white lawyer to defend you.
Holmes: "Your Honor, I have paid Attorney Green to defend me, and I have no more money to employ another lawyer."
It is further charged that Lester Fant, the U.-S. District Attorney, then sarcastically said to the defendant:
"Did you hire a nigger lawyer to defend you?" to which question Henry replied in the affirmative.
The other clients of Mr. Green, after hearing and seeing the hostile attitude of the officers of the court, are reported to have left, jumped their will, and have never been led
engaged Green to represent him but later secured the services of a white lawyer. It is alleged that when his case was called Fant said: "Your Honor, this is another one of those Mound Bayou nigger lawyer cases." Senators Harrison and Stephens of Mississippi are reported to be urging the promotion of Holmes, who lives at Yazoo City, Miss.

Philadelphia Art Alliance Cancels Invitation To New York Sculptor To Exhibit Statue of Paul Robeson
Because "the colored problem seems to be unusually great in Philadelphia," the Art Alliance of that city, which biennially gives a public exhibition of art works in Rittenhouse Square, has shipped back to Antonio Salemme, one of New York's most highly regarded young sculptors, his huge black bronze figure of Paul Robeson, Negro actor and singer, who according to London cables, has achieved an unprecedented success in England in "Othello."
The action of the Philadelphia Art Alliance did not become known until more than three weeks after the Executive committee had packed up the statue and shipped it back to the New York sculptor, and nearly a fortnight after the self-figure statue was placed on exhibition in one of the most prominent positions at the Brooklyn Museum.
"Portrait of Paul Robeson," Herbert Tachudy, curator of paintings and sculptors at the Brooklyn Museum, who arranged the current exhibition, said the Negro question had not been raised when the piece had been accepted for exhibition nor did the officials anticipate any trouble over display-
Astonished At Rejection.
In view of the fact that Mr. Salemme had been invited by the Philadelphia Art Society to send the Robeson statue for exhibition, and for entry in its prize contest for sculptures by American artists, the artist declared that he was astonished by the executive committee's rejection of the work and could offer no explanation for it other than the letter which was written to him by one of the judges of the sculpture committee.
This was written by Walter Hancock of 207 East 17th street, New York City, a sculptor, who, five years ago, won the Prix de Rome, and is one of Philadelphia's most highly regarded young artists.
Mr. Hancock wrote to Mr. Salemme that "a very difficult situation has arisen regarding your beautiful statue of Faul Roheson, which the 'Sculptors' Committee of the Philadelphia Art Alliance was so eager to have for the exhibition in Rittenhouse Square.
Problem Great.
"It did not of course, occur to us," Mr. Hancock wrote, "that there would be any objection to showing a nude figure of a well-known person. The executive committee, however, expressed their apprehension of the consequences of exhibiting such a figure in a public square, especially the figure of a Negro, as the colored problem seems to be unusually great in Philadelphia.
"Miss Mason (director of the exhibition) has asked me, therefore, to persuade you to send something else to the show.
"You may imagine how much I regret to have to convey this request to you, since I have always tremendously admired the Robben statue and a piece of those who initially urged, that it be invited, but I hope you will understand the position of the Sculptors' Committee and favor us with such other contributions as you may see fit to send."
In Philadelphia it was reported that several lay members of the Art Alliance had withdrawn from the society in indignation against the rejection of the statue.
The statue, after a year on exhibition in the Palace of the Legion of Honor at San Francisco, is on show at the Brooklyn Museum until September, he explained, and the attitude of Philadelphia art judges was, therefore, comparatively unim-important.
"We sculptors don't sell many statues in Philadelphia," he commented.
Now In Brooklyn Museum.
He was especially angered because after the Art Alliance had requested him especially to send the piece for exhibition, four months ago it waited until two days before the exhibition opened in Philadelphia before it notified him that the sculpture could not be shown. During those four months, he pointed out, he lost several opportunities to display the work in other cities.
"I know of several other sculptors who have jude figures of white people on exhibition at the Philadelphia show," Salemme said, "so why they should discriminate against a Negro figure. I cannot see. It is a question of art and not a question of the or of the propriety of indulity.
At the Brooklyn Museum, where the figure has found a haven as part of the current exhibition of sculpture by living artists, the Kolosson figure is cataloged "Negro Spiritual" (plaster bronze), but on the carved
"Portrait of Paul Robeson."
Herbert Tschudy, curator of paintings and sculptora at the Brooklyn Museum, who arranged the current exhibition, said the Negro question had not been raised when the piece had been accepted for exhibition nor did the officials anticipate any trouble over displaying the work.
"I saw the piece in Salemme's studio several weeks ago," Mr. Tschudy explained, "and considered it such a fine piece of work I immediately asked him for it. The question of its being a Negro subject never entered into the discussion. We were very glad to get it."
NEWLY ARRIVED SCHOOL TEACHER IS VICTIMIZED Falls For "Switch Money" Game But Police Shot Stops the "Slicker"
Robert Boley, a school teacher, from Winton, N. C., reached New York on Thursday, May 22, immediately fell into the hands of Leon Peck, who gave his address as 107 West. 116th street, who declared himself to be a stranger in the city and fearful of "New York slickers." A third man joined them, saying he was also a stranger, producing a cigar box which he said contained $1.100. Airing a distrust of the "city slickers," Peck suggested that they protect their money by pooling it and putting it in Boley's hands for safekeeping. They rode up to Harlem together, and then Boley produced his wealth, amounting to $33, handing it to Peck, who said he would take all the money into a drug store and wrap it up. In a few minutes he came and handed Boley a bulky paper package.
Peck told Boley: "Here, we trust you. You keep this and we will meet you here again in a half-hour."
But Peck and his companion moved a bit too rapidly to suit Boley, so he tore open the package to see that it was stuffed with newspapers. He immediately set up the cry, "Stop, thief," which quickly attracted a crowd, which set out in pursuit of Peck, repeating the cry.
This happened at 112th street and Seventh avenue, and it chanced that Detective John J. Broderick, returning from the funeral of Leo P. Flynn, fight promoter, was driving by. Jumping from his car, Broderick jumed the chase, firing his revolver in the air. The two shots, however, only caused Peck to increase his speed.
At 113th street, Peck' dashed around the corner and into a hallway at 139, slamming the snap-lock door behind him. Broderick, at his feet, smashed the glass with the butt end of his revolver, reached in, and opened the door, calling upon the fugitive to surrender.
The officer claims that instead of complying, Peck reached, towards his hip pocket as if for a revolver. Then came a shot, from the detective's gun that penetrated Peck's abdomen. Broderick commandered a passing auto and took Peck to Harlem Hospital under arrest. The prisoner said he thought the detective was "just somebody out of the crowd." Boley later appeared at the 12th street station and lodged a complaint against Peck. The other man escaped.

George Young Gives Rare Book to President
When it was decided to establish a special library for the use of Presidents occupying the White House at Washington, the bookstellers of America claimed they could not find a suitable copy of the "Life and Times of Frederick Douglas" to be added to the collection.
When he became aware of this, George Young, the well known New Yorker, proprietor of Young's Book Exchange, 255 West 14th street, who for years has specialized in books concerning the Negro, promptly forwarded to President Hoover his copy of the London edition of the book.

Buchanan To Run For Reelection As Head of Brooklyn Elks
Percy Buchanan exalted ruler of Brooklyn Lodge No. 32 of the I. B. P. O. of Elks of the Worldf has been put forward for a second term by his friends. For several years it has been the custom to give the exalted ruler at least two terms in this lodge. The last incumbent, J. Marion Washington held it for four terms.
The election will take place at the first meeting in June. Buchanan's election seems assured for he has done much good work in the six month's he has been in office. A large number of new members have brought in and he has presented many constructive features in that time.
District Deputy Grand, Exalted Ruler Henry H. Ham, one of the most popular members of Brooklyn Lodge and a well known business man has been indoors by his lodge for the position of grand esteemed leading knight. The last member of Brooklyn Lodge to hold this position was Dr. Roland R. Johnson.

Brooklyn Now Has City College
The dream of Brooklynites became a reality a few days ago, when the Board of Higher Education took action and established "Brooklyn College of the College of the City of New York." In it is incorporated the units of City College and Hunter College already existing here. It is expected that this college will soon have its own campus and buildings.
Dr. William J. Boylan is president of the new institution. His office is at 80 Willoughby street where a branch of the school, is now located. There are 2,800 students already registered. Many of them are colored.
Sunday Schools Plan For Anniversary Day
The various Sunday schools of Brooklyn are already making plans for Anniversary Day. A day that is Brooklyn's own day for the young
children. This year it will be the 101st anniversary day, and celebrates the anniversary of the formation of the Brooklyn Sunday School Union. This year it will be celebrated on June 5. Owing to the geographical layout of Brooklyn there is no central meeting place and hence there will be about twenty-six divisions or in other words twenty-six separate parades. There are about thirty colored schools and they will appear in the various divisions.
There will be about 5,000 children with their teachers and parents in the line of march in the various divisions. Such schools as Concord Baptist Church, Bridge Street, Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion and several others usually have over 500 persons in their school and with their parents they make up the bulk of the colored paraders. Concord usually wins the prize for numbers and beauty floats.

Faces Sentence For Murder of Sweetheart's Husband in Brooklyn
George Williams, 27, of 131 Willoughby street is in Raymond street jail awaiting sentence, following his conviction last week by a jury before County Judge Taylor on the charge of murder in the second degree. Williams was charged with having shot and killed August Andrade on Sept. 28, 1929 in the latter's home, 39 Prince street.
According to the testimony, Williams had won the affection of Mrs.
Marie Andrade, wife of the dead man: Williams is alleged to have shot Andrade when the latter told him that he would continue to try to have his wife return, to him.
After the murder Mrs. Andrade, it was alleged, told the police that, Williams shot her husband, when the latter refused to allow her to continue her relations with Williams. But at the trial she took the side of Williams and corroborated his story that he was not on the scene when Andrade was shot.

DEFENDERS OF LYNCHING.
In his famous column, "It Seems to Me," which is now copyrighted and syndicated by the New York Telegram, Heywood Broun registered amazement because he found that there was a "supposedly reputable" American newspaper, that would undertake a defense of lynching. Most reputable newspapers, even in the South, condemn lynching as a matter of sound principle and public policy. The special lynching that was the subject to be condoned, was that-which took place in Sherman, Texas, where the bestiality of the mob was exhibited by the dragging of the dead body of a roasted prisoner through the Negro residence district and the burning and looting of the homes of innocent people.
The newspaper that condoned this proceeding and thus aroused Mr. Broun's justifiable amazement was the Atlanta Constitution, which dignified the proceedings of the mob by heading an editorial in their defense. "The Sherman Avengers." In it the Atlanta editor said:
"The adherents to law and order may deplore and denounce these volcanic outbursts of murderous rage, overriding all the instrumentalities of regular justice and the powers of government, but there is one great and terrible last ingrédient in the powers of the Southern people that must always be taken into account by those who judge such events as this one at Sherman. That fact is that the white people will not tainly allow their women to be the unavenged victims of the lust and brutality of any Negro man. Criticism of that passion and deafness from any source appealed to the deafness of the adder, and no one can anvert the terrible vengeance but the Negro who keeps his lustful hands off an innocent white woman."
This utterance was stigmatized as the most barefaced and shameless defence of lynching and as founded on not one lie but two. The attempt of the Constitution to place the responsibility for the lust of mob violence upon all the Negroes of Sherman was riddled as beside the issue. The issue was pronounced to be one between righteousness and evil, and the men who behave like jackals under any compulsion whatsoever were condemned as traitors to their race. The fact that such bestial cruelty is commonest in those sections of America which are loud in lip service to the principles of Christianity was commented upon by Henry Mencken, who named the "Bible Belt" as the scene of the fiercest and most unbridled passions.
The Constitution's defense of lynching was contrasted with an editorial in an adjoining column, extolling the idea of righteousness contained in Dr. McBride's advocacy of the Anti-Saloon League as being inspired by divine Providence. Mr. Broun construed this coincidence to convey the intimation that "Volsteadian law enforcement is of vital consequence, and under the direct supervision of the Deity, Lynching, on the other hand, is but a minor infraction of God's plan as far as the Atlanta Constitution is concerned. Indeed, it seems to be a question as to whether it is an infraction at all and not a rather superb manifestation of the force of Southern chivalry."
This jumbling of a defense of mob lust in one column and a testimonial of belief in the principles of Christ in another would make him somewhat uncomfortable, Mr. Broun avowed, if he was the editor of the paper in question. The attempt to make the two things hang together he termed, blasphemy. "Blasphemy against man and blasphemy against God." Blasphemy of this sort does not appear to disturb the slumbers nor the digestion of the denizens of Mr. Mencken's "Bible Belt," nor their fellows in other parts of the country. They profess the principles of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of Man," and practice all sorts of unjust discriminations and unrighteousness. The petty discriminations prevalent in the administration of our Government, running through all its departments, is illustrative of this evil.
COLOR PROBLEM IN PHILADELPHIA.
About the same time that the cables brought news of the great success that followed the appearance of Paul Robeson
in the Shakespearean role of Othello, came the announcement that the Art Alliance of Philadelphia had rejected the bronze statue, of the actor for public exhibition. This huge nude figure is the work of Antonio Salemme, one of New York's rising young sculptors. The action of the Philadelphia committee was taken several weeks ago, although the statue had been entered in the prize contest for sculptures by American artists upon invitation by the Philadelphia Art Society. The exhibition of the work submitted is held biennially in Rittenhouse Square.
The rejection of the statue for exhibition purposes was broken to Mr. Salemme in a letter from a Philadelphia artist, who stated that "a very difficult situation had arisen regarding your beautiful statue of Paul Robeson, which the Scupltors' Committee was so anxious to have for the exhibition." "It did not of course occur to us that there would be any objection to showing a nude figure of a well known person. The Executive Committee, however, expressed their apprehension of exhibiting such a figure in a public square, especially the figure of a Negro, as the colored problem seems to be unusually great in Philadelphia."
That is a most curious case of exclusion on account of color that we have heard of in some time. If the objection had been raised merely because of the nudity of the figure, we might have understood it as a survival of primitive prudishness that precluded the display of the human figure of either sex, but permitted the old-time practice of "bundling" as a form of courtship. What bearing a bronze statue could have upon the "colored problem" is a trifle vague. This prohibition of the display of an object of art, because of the color of the person portrayed, is incomprehensible in view of the universal interest displayed in the Negro and his attributes in art and literature of the present day. The sculptor did not appear to be disturbed over the rejection of his work in Philadelphia and regarded the attitude of the judges as unimportant. The statue was on exhibition for a year at San Francisco and is now on view at the Brooklyn Museum.
REVOLUTION IN INDIA.
The present uprising against British rule in India is significant, because of the fact that it involves two principles hitherto uncounted as formidable factors in popular revolutionary movements. One of these is the doctrine advocated by Mahatma Ghandi, the Indian mystic and leader, of non-resistance to violence used to suppress the uprising, and the other is civil disobedience to British authority. Such reports as come out of India bring news of violence used upon both sides and especially stress the conflicts between the Hindus and the Malommedans, but as all news is subject to censorship, these reports are not to be given too great credit.
The practice of civil disobedience was begun by Ghandi's spectacular march to the sea, with his following of unarmed disciples, to break the government monopoly of the manufacture of salt. The tax upon salt exacted by the British has been likened to the tax upon tea, which furnished the occasion for the Boston Tea Party, as the first revolt against British rule in this country. The march to the sea in India and the invasion of the salt depots had been going on for several weeks, until the British rulers finally arrested Ghandi and other leaders of the movement in an effort to break the backbone of the movement. These arrests were accompanied by violence on the part of the police, while Ghandi still preached the policy of non-resistance.
That the demonstrations of resistance to British rule have been far greater than the news dispatches that passed the censorship would indicate, is shown, by a copy of the Bombay Congress bulletin, which came to this office from a special correspondent. The message that accompanied this, dated May 2, stated that the Government had carefully suppressed all news of the happenings at Peshawar, other than the official statements, but that over two thousand had been shot at and all news was censored. The bulletin gave a statement by the President of the Punjab Provincial Congress Committee, which shows the extent to which the principle of non-resistance can be carried, and the extremes to which the British authorities have gone in their efforts to crush the movement for self-government.
According to this statement, a huge crowd was assembled to give an ovation to the volunteers sent out from the Congress Committee offices to do picketing, which withstood all attempts, on the part of the police to disperse them, although the leaders submitted to arrest without resistance. Finally a troop of English soldiers reached the spot and fired into the crowd without warnings although it contained many women and children. When those in front fell wounded, those behind
came forward and exposed themselves to the fire, so that some got as many as twenty bullet wounds. The crowd kept standing until there were heaps of wounded and dying lying about. When the number of corpses became too many, Government ambulance cars took them away and it is said that the bodies were burned. Then the public and the volunteers collected the remaining bodies, which numbered sixty-five. This massacre lasted from 11 to 5 o'clock.
This is part of the statement made by an Indian leader, showing the intensity of the desire for independence that will cause these people to stand up for hours to be shot down without resistance. This may appear to be a strange method of revolt, and one that, only the doctrine preached by Ghandi would justify. If this sort of thing is going to be kept up all over India, what can be the result? Even the most bloodthirsty Englishman must weary of the shooting down of unarmed and unresisting men, women and children. And when civil disobedience is added, the entire population cannot be put in jail and kept in jail.
The only hope of putting down this bloodless revolution is the fact that all Indians do not subscribe to the doctrines and principles taught by Mahatma Ghandi. There are those who advocate the use of force to break Great-Britain's hold on India. There are those who would temporize with the British authorities, and accept a certain measure of self-government instead of insisting upon complete independence or dominion status. It is in the division of the Indian population along these lines that the British will find their opportunity to continue to exploit the Indian Empire, that they are so loath to lose. It is doubtful if force alone could prevail unless they were willing to exterminate the entire native population.
THE VOTE AGAINST GRUNDY.
The Philadelphia Tribune revived the old story about the sheep boy who cried wolf" so often without cause, that when the wolf finally came, nobody paid any attention to his cries and the wolves ate up all the sheep. The application of this well-known fable, as made by the Tribune, as that it does not pay to bluff or lie or make empty threats. It continued:

In America on several occasions Negroes have threatened to vote the Democratic or some other ticket if the Republican Party did not keep faith with them. Just as many times promises have been broken and yet Negroes have Republican tickets. Senators have been advised that unless they did certain things, woe unto them. The Senators to as they please and certain Negro newspapers which yelled the loudest, carry full page stories extolling their virtues, and "big-wielded" talkers request Negroes to vote for those who ignored the pleas of the multitude.

But we fail to back our threats with positive action, they fall upon deaf ears and nobody pays any attention to Negroes or their gestures.
In its news columns the, Tribune carried an account of the Philadelphia primary elections that indicated that the Negro voters of that city carried out their attention to help defeat those Senators, who voted to confirm a judge hostile to their citizenship rights, as member of the supreme Court. Senator Grundy, who voted for the confirmation of Judge Parker, thereby lost the support of Negro voters in his efforts to secure the nomination for Senator. In the districts that were preponderantly colored, the vote against him was unusually heavy, although the rest of the machine candidates received their usual vote.
In Philadelphia the Republican machine unusually strong and the voters are, as rule, acquiescent to its rule. If they can commup on the courage to turn down a candidate who voted against their interests, they are not so hidebound as they are counted to be. Threats are of no avail politics unless they are shown to be in arrest. As a rule the voters, have short memories, and do not harbor grudges. It well that Grundy's turn came so soon.

The retirement of Grover Whalen as Police Commissioner, and the elevation of an inspector of the uniformed force to the position usually held by a civilian, caused mingled surprise and satisfaction among those New Yorkers who take an interest in municipal affairs. The retirement of Mr. Whalen had been so often anticipated, that its final announcement was not unexpected, but the choice of his successor was in the nature of a surprise, as among the possible successors, the name of Mulrooney had not appeared. Nevertheless, the appointment was greeted with universal approval, despite the fact that there is a lingering sentiment that the commissioner should be a civilian.
The selection of the commissioner from the uniformed force is not without precedent, however, as Richard Enright was promoted from a lutenant's desk to head the police by Mayor Hylan, when the latter found that he could not get along with any of the civilians he had tried for the post of commissioner. Dewery was the

head of the police force, as Chief of Police, and according to his own estimate, made the best police chief that New York ever had. But the volume of public opinion, as voiced by the metropolitan press, appears to be doubtful of the wisdom of picking a commissioner from the uniformed ranks.
The elevation of Deputy Inspector Mulrooney, however, can be commended as the deserved promotion of an officer who has passed through every grade of the service and earned his advance step by step. It involved no such spectacular jumping over, higher officers as happened in the case of Enright and, therefore could arouse no such jealousies and enmities within the force. As captain in command of the West 135th street station, the
To begin with, it should be quite heartening to progressive citizens to note with what splendid persistence each of the two major Negro candidates for nomination to the legislature remained in the race for a place on his individual ticket.
The surprisingly large number of votes cast for Attorney General, a Roe v. Wade attorney Richardson, a Democrat, was a clear evidence of the high esteem placed upon these men as logical timber for the leadership to which they aspired.
All of which is quite encouraging, because of the evident fact that these two men were supported heavily by white voters.
This was very much as it should be, because such a circumstance that will bring about a steadying of the disturbed equilibrium of things political locally.
The combined votes cast for Mr. Bailey and Mr. Richardson was more than enough to nominate either one of them. A large proportion of the ballots cast for the two attorneys, were by white voters. That goes to happy sign in that it goes to show conclusively that white voters are capable of recognizing merit and rewarding it accordingly. And it is an established fact that the support received by these candidates in expected quarters, was admirably heavy.
But the Recorder insisted that the final result showed the need for stronger, political, organisation in the city and county. That is a need which is felt not alone in Indiana.
The Washington Tribune celebrated its ninth birthday May 14, with the following declaration as to its aims and achievements:
The Tribune has become an institution in Washington. It has led the fight in all civic matters and has been outspoken for the rights of the people. It has struck from the shoulder, fierce and strong, against segregation and discriminatory official officials, against false, race pride. Not only has the Tribune led the fight in theory, for racial patronage, but it has set the example as well. More than fifty young men have been enabled to go through high school and Howard University by employment on the Tribune, and more than 500 boys have been engaged in extracurricular experience and profitable contact with business, professional and other people as salesmen for the Tribune. One of our young men finished as an honor student from Howard University. The Tribune distributes more than $5,000 a year in salaries and commissions to newsboys and collectors alone, has employed college students, worked women and done to every detail of the work connected with the business and publishing departments.
The publishers wish to thank their readers, advertisers, and friends for their loyal support for the past nine years and wish to renew their promise of May 21, 1921. We feel that the gift of Washington "the best paper it has ever had." And we shall endeavor to improve our product wherever and whenever possible.
The Tribune is a clean cut exponent of racial news and opinion, expressed in terse and vigorous fashion. Journalism at the Nation's Capital has improved through its efforts to be "liberal, progressive, independent."
The Kansas City American announced the discovery of "The Flea in British Collar," in the following editorial:
Two dark men, each of whose names begin with "G", for some years have been a flea in the collar of Great Britain. Or it may be that a thorn in the flesh while a bit stronger might be more appropriate. Both men have been jailed but that has proven unsuccessful as a reason for their ideas persist in resuming at later times of burning and burning at the stake have proven quite as ineffective in times past. The execution of John Brown at "Harper's Ferry failed to destroy his
present commissioner, proved himself fair and square and won the respect and cooperation of Harlem residents, who have ever since watched his steady advancement with friendly interest and approval. It is to be expected that the same qualities he displayed as captain will make him a fair and square commissioner.
The announcement that no sweeping changes are, to be made in the force as at present constituted, but that the progressive policies inaugurated by Commissioner Whalen are to be continued, is an indication of what may be expected of the new Commissioner. His experience in every grade of the service should make him an efficient and able commander of New York's standing army of eighteen thousand men.
ideas about slavery. Seven hundred years after the execution of Robert Emmett, the lash patriot, his declaration made on the scaffold that some day Ireland should be free, came true. And because a man was willing and ready to make the supreme sacrifice the world today acknowledges the Christian religion, Marcus Garvey in the western world and the Mahatma Gandhi in the eastern, have planted the seed of nationalism in the minds of the dark races. Jailing them will not be tolerated, which they have incubated and planted in the hearts of their fellows. England should try a simpler remedy. Let them make salt might be one. A penny tax on tea led to the making of the strongest nation in the world and Great Britain was the loser.
While the coupling of Garvey with Gandhi does not appear to be particularly appropriate, the general proposition that brute force cannot always prevail to keep a whole people in subjection is susceptible of proof. But the taxing of salt in India is a minor detail of the question at issue.
Referring to the refusal of the Ohio Supreme Court to grant a new trial to former Councilman, Thomas A. Fleming, who was sentenced to thirty-three months in the state penitentiary, the Cleveland Gazette said:
Former Councilman Thomas W. Fleming didn't "run away," as the daily newspapers of Wednesday would have the community to believe, but simply aligned himself for the purpose of giving his attorney time to file an appeal with the U. S. Supreme Court at Washington, D. C.
All former Councilman Thomas W. Fleming's legal troubles of the past year are based upon the charge that he was "paid $200 by Walter Oehme to push legislation for payment of $354, medical expenses." That is, Oehme claimed to have paid Tom $200 to get him $354. This in itself is enough to make anyone question the charge upon which Tom was convicted.
The Gazette in its news columns printed several affidavits designed to show that false testimony was given against Fleming and that five members of the jury, were members of the Ku Klux Klan. All of which suggests some doubt as to the justice of his conviction.
The Pittsburg Courier recently concluded that the anonymous wag, who once said "if he owned Hell and Texas he would rent out Texas and live in Hell," must have been a Negro. It continued:
When a mob of fends in human form raid, a courtroom, roasts an important Negro prisoner who had not had his day in court, bombs and burns the court house and then, yelling and screaming, drags the body of Negro community and burns the body of inoffensive people, it would seem that Hell would be a more desirable residential section by comparison.
And this town, Sherman, is supposed to be the Athens of Texas! Cowardly or indifferent police and national guardmen, instead of shouting, have done had it been composed of Negroes, merely threw a few bombs and fired a couple of shots over the heads of the rosters. Dan Moody, Governor of Texas, sent a message to "protect the Negro but don't shoot," as if it were possible to do the first without doing the second. Now he trying to deny it. Mayo, governor of Bells, the old coors and-bull story that the mobbers were not residents of Sherman.
To. the credit of Texas, five mob leaders have been lodged in jail and the frying bee has been 'condemned throughout the state while the conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, adopted a resolution deploring mob action. It remains to be seen if Texas will be civilized enough to convict the mobbists and pay Negroes for destroyed property. And President Hoover is yet to be heard from.
Maybe Texas was one of the States which strayed into the Republican column in the last pres-
Those who begin a new birthyear on May 31 will find the new year very good in a financial way. There is a tendency to extravagance, and haste will only cause loss. Very good judgment and act will help the people of today to get ahead. June 1 begins a birthyear that will bring promotion and success, so those changes are indicated for the domestic and family-circle for nearly every one. Good judgment and patience will bring worthwhile results. Legal matters should be very carefully considered. June begins a birthyear that will be full of opportunities where the opposite sex is concerned. The changes that will come in the business and employment can be made to advantage when careful judgment is used.

Roscoe Bruce Writes Telephone Company About Employing Negroes
Roscoe Conkling Bruce, resident manger of the Dunbar Garden Apartments, which conducts an employment bureau for benefit of the five hundred families in these apartments, has written President Walter Gifford of the American Telephone Co. on the operation of employing colored girls as operatives, offered to Tage P. Sylvan vicepresident of the New York Telephone Co. who replied as follows:
"To the extent that opportunity has occurred, we have given employment to Americans of African descent and have found and do find them loyal and industrious. Our rapidly changing method of employment and the need for interchange of personal skills make difficult to do anything more than we are doing in employing such people."
3. Such girls are highly responsive to instructions and quick to master a new routine.
4. At a given wage colored girls may be educated who are better educated than the white girls the wage would secure—this because opportunities for the employment of the Negro are as yet grievously restricted.
5. The many thousands of Negro patrons of the telephone company would be gratified at last in receiving tickets of tickets of tickets of tickets they pour each day into the coffers of the telephone company help create more and better jobs for the group."
idential election, thereby starting the idea that a break in the Solid South was possible.
In advocating the benefits of "Alcohol for Old Folks," N. Love Burnett, M. D., in his health column in the Boston Chronicle gave the following comfort to the thirsty and aged:
After the vigor of maturity gives way to the infirmities of old age there comes a natural desire for a physical and mental booster, when the wear and tear of life is all two evident. When the ills and discomforts will not yield readily to the prescriptions of the doctor, because a physical and mental energy a booster is a real necessity, medicinal doses is a great aid to the flagging vitality of these folks. Of course the mention of a practical use for alcohol is not to be construed a protest against the blessings of our Volsteadian era; nor is there likelihood of a rush to drinking by 'old folks': for one admits old age now. Circumstances how injuries of people to admit old age occur in the state of ill health and them we will mention the advantages of medicinal alcohol. Alcohol acts as a mild sedative, something irritable nerves and giving a feeling of comfortable well-being.
But after defining the functions of alcohol as a food and a medicine, the doctor limited the dosage to a tablespoonful not more than three times a day and barred the use of booctog liquor as rank poison. So the aged will not go veen far on that limit.
public affairs. Domestic and family affairs will undergo some really unexpected changes, and it is indicated that much patience and that will be needed. Those who have a relationship with the opposite sex in a marriage use the utmost patience and good use to avoid the loss of negotiation and June 6 begins a birthday that will be worthwhile in a special and financial way. Those who can best the effort of in this year will find themselves on the road to happiness and honor. For every woman in the world is placed, and the women and children are particularly well favored. Patients in the domestic and family circle will be worthwhile.
All the group who observe birthdates on, and between May 21 to June 6 will be under the negative impact of Neptune in 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933 and 1934. This position of Neptune need for careful attention to financial affairs. It is not advisable for the people of this period to invest money in stocks and bonds that are not reliable. All financial investments in stocks and bonds are well expected, and only with banks. The tendency to worry and fear is not worthwhile, and leads to nervous breaddowns. Any money that is loaned or borrowed will be the cause of worry and loss. The stress on days during these years when Neptune is well aspected will get ahead much faster, and avoid much loss. Any reputable astrologist will 1 be able to advise those of this group the readers who would like to know the planetary influences that understand the planetary influences that are now affecting them, should use the full name, the birthday, month, year, hour and place with a stamped and self-addressed envelope and notes in cents to Tharcher in cars.

Parker's Defeat
BY JULIAN HARRISE
(New York Times)
Atlanta, GA. The Senate's discussion of Judge John J. Parker and its rejection of his nomination held the centre of interest during the past week, or two. The Southern Stayers were torn by conflicting emotions. They wanted to see a Southern man confirmed for the Supreme Court, but they were under pressure to accept the offer, since it is taking on a new lease of life, particularly in the textile States.
In the South the light against Judge Parker by Negro organizations had no effect. As a matter of fact, there was surprise that the Negroes should be so bitterly opposed to confirmation of Judge Parker in view of his decision in the Rehmoh (Va.) segregation ordinance. He presided in the hearing of the case in the Circuit Court of Appeals and was inadmissible because it violated the rights of Negroes as set down in the Fourteenth Amendment.
In Georgia, The Atlanta Constitution and the Macon Telegraph led in urging that Judge Parker be confirmed. But, Senators Harris and George, doubtless with their ears to the political ground, failed to heed the advice of newspapers which have always heartily supported them. The incident not particularly interested the Parker, incidentally, it seems that the appointment was purely political and as such invited a fight on political grounds. Judge Parker would have proved a good run-of-mime Supreme Court Justice, but it cannot be said that the failure to confirm his nomination has resulted in an irreparable loss to the highest tribunal.
Telephone Company Makes
About 91,100 telephones were installed or removed in greater New York during the thirtysix day period prior to May 1 which date marks the annual Spring move of business firms in the city. Other boroughs with some 30,000 changes while Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island accounted for 30,000 moves and the Bronx registered over 10,200. Nearly 29,350 changes were made during the first seven days in May this year with the exception of two connections over 5,000 connections and disconnections were handled in New York City. During the two weeks immediately prior to Moving Day telephones were being installed or withdrawn at the rate of 3,500 a day during the first seven days in May and daily changes made were 4,194.
Hundreds of installers were kept busy working day and night to complete the changes while other hundreds of telephone plant maintenance inside the main office buildings made the necessary connections or connections on the telephone boards and associated apparatus.
Relinquished numbers automatically go into retirement for a period, usually until a new telephone directory is issued; both to assist inconvenienceing the new owners of the numbers who would other than call the old subscribers, made by persons unfamiliar with the change and to permit the routing of such calls to their proper destination. Calling relinquished numbers are consequently routed to interchange operators to inform the information on the calling of the subscribers' new numbers.

Many people were run over, several were wounded and at least three people died on the spot. In spite of this great prompting, the greatest restraint, collected all the wounded and the three dead persons. We possess photographs of some of them.
One of the armored cars caught fire. It is alleged on the one hand that it was set on fire by the mob, and is that it caught accidentally.
"By this time however, a troop of English soldiers had reached the spot and without any warning to the crowd began firing into the building and children. Now the crowd gave a good example of a lesson of nonviolence that had been instilled in them.

"When those in front fell wounded by the shots, those behind game forward with their breasts barely and exposed themselves to the fire so much so that some people got hurt in their body and all the people stood their ground without getting into a panic. A young Sikh boy came and stood in front of a soldier, and asked him to fire at him, which the soldier unhesitatingly did, killing him. Similarly an officer and a friend, wounded, came forward, was shot and fell wounded. An old man with a four-year old child on his shoulders, unable to look on this brutal slaughter, advanced asking him to take at his words and he also fell wounded. Scores of such instances will come on further inquiry.
"When the number of corpses be-
comes many the ambulance cars of the
officers are filled."
"It is said that those who were some unknown place, and though they were many Mahomands, the bodies were burnt. After this struggle the leaders of the public and volunteers collected all the remaining bodies, 65 in number, and there is a list of these people kept.
"The attitude of the crowd and the splendid hold that the congress had on the people is evidenced by the fact that in spite of the presence of the British troops, patrolling on without a flag, the killing was going on without a flag, the battles of volunteers were being sent to the program. The whole day on April 23, the petty continuing and no artworks were made. The petty continuing on April 23, the 24th battles of the volunteers were after the arrest but more battles came and the petty continuing. The authorities, finding their policy of ar-
rests unavailing, released the volunteers and, is it said, ordered the liquor-shops to be closed for two months.

record holder for the 100-yard dash
and the first sprinter in history” to
cover the distance in less than 9
3-5 seconds in a well authenticated
Face,-run without starting blocks.
The little, bespectacled _ sprinter
from Michigan was clocked at 9 5-10
seconds in the Western Conference
championships at Evanston, Ill., May
25, 1929, and this performance was
accepted by the International Ama-
teur Athletic Federation as the of-
ficial world’s record:
Tolan’s time, made in a _memor-
able race in’ which he deiéated,
among’ others, George Simpson of
Ohio State, supersedes the 9 6-19
figure which several sprinters were
able to equal but never to beat of-
ficially in the long history of the
sport. Z
Charley Paddock once turned in a
9.5 but it was refused recognition
because the I. A. A. F. did not ap-
prove of the tenth-second watches at
that time. A %4-10 performance by
another Californian, Frank Wykof,
was too recent for submission to the
present meeting of the international

R. HARRY T. BURLEIGH CELEBRATES 36th ANNIVERSARY OF CONSECUTIVE SERVICE AS SOLOIST AT ST. GEORGE'S
On Sunday afternoon, May 25, at 4 o'clock, Dr. Harry T. Burigh, distinguished composer, and singer, completed thirty-six years of consecutive service as baritone soloist in the choir of St. George's E. Church, Stuyvesant Square and 16th street, the Rev. Dr. Karl Reiland, rector.
As has been the custom for a number of years, the entire service was devoted to Dr. Burleigh's Compositions, including not only a number of arrangements of Spirituals, but choral service as well, sung by the full vested choir, with Edwin Idelier, violinist.
A special feature of the service was the presence of Richard B. Harrison, veteran-dramatist, who was stirred New York City by his wonderful work as "The Lord" in Mare Connellly's great play, "The Green Pasures." By special invitation of the rector, Mr. Harrison took an active part in the church service, reading the scripture lesson for the day, consisting of the 2nd Psalm and the parable of the sheep and faithful shepherd.
"It has been our privilege to hear the most illustrious composer of his race." Dr. Reiland said, "as well as the capable and gracious gentleman who adds so much to the success of that splendid play, 'The Green Pastures.' It is a fine thing that we can speak so enthusiasm of our brothers of another race. Let us all honor these two men, for whose power, gifts and kindness we give thanks to God."
The choir first sang "Listen to de Laums," after which Mr. Burleigh sang "Go Down Moses," and "I Know de Lord Laid His Hands on Me." Edwin Ideler played a golin selection, "Chant Negre," with organ accompaniment. The choir sang "Nobody Knows de Trouble I've Seen," followed by two solos, "I Stood on de Driber of Jordan" and "I Don't Feel Noways Tired," by Mr. Burleigh. The program ended with "Deep River" by the choir. A recital of violin, organ and vocal music followed the service.

ENTERPRISE FEMALE BAND JOURNEYS PHILADELPHIA TO COMPETE WITH JAMES FEMALE BAND IN STIRRING CONTEST
The Enterprise Female Band of Eureka Temple, No. 22, Daughter, Elks, accompanied by officers of the temple and friends, journeyed to Philadelphia on Thursday May 22, and engaged in a band contest with the James Liberty Female Band of that city. Two large touring bases were filled, leaving the home of Imperial Lodge of Elks, West 190th street, shortly after 2 o'clock. Lieut. Jacob Porter, bandmaster of the 369th regimental band, was in charge of the band, being its instructor and director.
When the buses pulled up at Broad and South streets, Philadelphia, the New Yorkers were greeted by Bandmaster James and Mrs. Warner, president of the James Band, and the Bugle and Drum Corps of Crispus Attucks Post, No 151, of the American Legion, under direction of Drum Major Nat Warner.
The New York musicians were given a great ovation by the Philadelphia folks as they were escorted by the Bugle & Drum Corps after long parade, prior to teaching the illiterate new home of the O. V. Catto Lodge of Elks, No 20, at 1621 South street, where a light reast was served them.

The women are full of praise for the fine work of their splendid conductor and tutor, Lieut Porter, who labored untimely to develop their playing ability.
Monarch Band Gives
Fine Program in Final
Free Sunday Concert
The band contest was held at 9 o'clock in the spacious auditorium of the lodge home, before a crowd that jammed the room to capacity, with scores of standees. The board of judges was composed of Alex M. Valentine, teacher of music, Philadelphia, representing the home organization; Lusen H. White, music editor of The New York Age, representing the Enterprise Band*, and Mrs. Adeha Schusler of Philadelphia, a distinguished white musician, who served as umpire. Each band played the El Capitan March by Sousa and the Arcadia Overture, with another number of its own choice. In addition, the James Band played a military march before protecting, with the orchestra members, and the Enterprise Band played "The Star Spangled Banner" for the opening and "Auld Lang Sine" for the closing of the program.
The New Yorkers played first in the contest, and were given an enthusiastic and cordial reception by the audience. Lieut. Porter had then keyed up to a striking degree, considering the long, warm bus ride, and the taxing street parade lasting about an hour, with the band doing most of the playing. The home hand did not join the parade.
The Philadelphia women also gave a fine rendition, rousing the audience at times to stirring applause.
The judges deliberated for some time, finding it difficult to reach a verdict. Finally, however, with the concurrence of the umpire, a decision was decided upon, leaving the two aggragations to share in the honors of the evening. The no prize to be awarded Miss Florence Runge of Philadelphia was the mistress of ceremonies.
Following the contest, the floor was cleared and the people enjoyed dancing until 12:40 clock.
The New York group got away about 2:clock on the return trip, which ended at the Imperial Lodge.

chairman of the publicity committee, in which he gave detailed data as to the guest artists and speakers for each concert.
The guest artists for this occasion were the popular Broadway favorites, Eubie Blake, pianist, formerly one of the stars of "Shuffle Along," and his partner, Broadway Jones, baritone. Mr. Jones, sang "Romance" by Donaldson, with Mr. Blake at the piano, and "Ole Man River" from "Show Boat," by Kern, with a special piano arrangement by Blake. Mr. Blake played "The Rhapsody In Blue," by Gershwin and an arrangement of his own of the "Indian Love Call." Both artists were given a tremendous ovation.
The band's offerings were featured specially by the playing of the great "Raymond" Overture by Thomas; the Prelude in C Sharp Minor by Rachmaninoff, and "The Evolution of Dixie" by Lake, Other striking numbers were the march, "Choral", by Chambers; a concert waltz, "Wedding of the Winds" by Hall; Romberg's "The Desert Song"; a serenade, "The Warbler", by Perry, and the customary descriptive number, "Pastimes on the Levee" by Turner.
Just before the final numbers, Dr. Lawrence J. Davenport, the clever and entertaining master of ceremonies, whose brief digests of the various compositions are instructive and illuminating turned the tables on the director by calling on Lieut. Simpson to make a speech, as some minutes before Simpson is some minutes what he being called on to do, but he soon recovered and made a pithy, cogent talk in the subject that inspires him always the Monarch Symphony Band.

"Handsome is that handsome does—hold up your heids, girls," is the language of "Primrose" in the play, when addressing her daughters. That worthy matron was right.

Would that all the female readers, who are sowing foolishly because they are not in all respects like that statue of Venus which enchants you, could be persuaded to listen to her. "What is good-looking" as Horace Smith remarked, but looking good? Never mind the ugly reflection which your glass may give you. But quite another picture is given you on the retina of human sympathy. Every woman and girl you see you can envelop yourselves in an atmosphere of moral and intellectual beauty through which the plainest faces will shine forth with that inward grace, softening and mellowing its features, just as the full, calm moonlight melts those of a rough landscape into harmonious loveliness.
*This is the sursure way to acquire a beauty, that will last not only through life but eternity—try it—it never fails to give the desired result.* BE GOOD, BE WOMANLY, BE GENTLE—generous in your sympathies, heredital of the well-being of those around you, and my word for it, you will not lack kind words or admiration.
Florence Herbert
Miss Florence Herbert, eminent pianist and teacher, is another of Harlem's progressive young women. Her studio is located at 321 Edgecombe Avenue.
Miss Herbert's system is unique in that, although if does not follow any particular method, pupils are taught according to their individual requirements, with special regard for temperament and age.
The art of interpreting music on the pianoforte requires a fine sense of tone and rhythm, and an exactness of technique. These qualities are stressed at the Herbert Studio from the very beginning, and are constantly welcome at the studio to review the work or to secure further information, at any time. A special invitation is extended to former pupils of Miss Herbert. This studio is open all summer.

soprano soloist, St. Mark's Methodist

Shooting Stars
By D. H. BROWN
Do you ever think that in all this world yourours is the Master Mind?
Do you ever feel that if you should die and leave all here behind,
That a firm would fail or a bank would break.
Lacking your brain and force
And the city would mourn memorials
And the people mourn your loss.
If you feel this way just step out some night
Into the clear cool air,
And gaze aloft at the myriad stars
That nightly shine up there.
And if you watch awhile ever long you'll see one shoot across the sky,
Leaving a beautiful, brilliant trail,
Soon to fade and die.
But the world goes on and the stars shine forth
The star that cares for light.
So he thinks in this world's
big idea.

That fumes until the eyes are tear-

Then, like young flowers after rain
The heart emerges, strong and fear-
less.

ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS
By PERCIVAL OUTRAM
Those who claim things happen in cycles of three will again point as proof of their assertion the closely following deaths of three prominent musicians' wives who have departed this life in quick succession.
We, of course, refer to the demise of Deacon Johnson's wife, who died first somewhat, suddenly, followed by Bill Eikman's wife, and then the death of John L. T. J. R. Europes wife, who had been confined to her bed for a long period of time.
The death of Jim's wife may close any intention, as rumored, that the Clof Club would reconsider her once rejected claim for an allotment of the money recently distributed from the proceeds of the sale of the buildings in 33rd street. On the other hand the executors of her estate might in some cases the uniter. As given to the press the name of the Clof Club does not appear as sending a floral tribute to the deceased, lieutenant's widow.
Henry Austin, bandmaster, who for a great number of years has suphied the music for Tilouya's Steeplechase park on Coney Island, finds himself in somewhat of a predication with his men.
Henry usually has two hands to the bill playing at different entrances in the playground. For nearly ten years a majority of the men have been making the season with Henry regularly.
Usually a week or two elapses before the two bands go to work. The musicians who play with the No. 1 band, which Henry himself conducts, are the first to open the season, startling around Easter Sunday, then Saturday and Sunday until about the middle of May, then commences the regular daily functioning of the band. The bands comprise two groups of 8 men each. Here this year, used some of the second band in the first band for the weekend engagements. But both bands, representing the same men used last year, were booked for this season.
Henry got the call to start in the regular weekend engagement. This started the trouble as some of his oldest men—in point of service—complained they had been faithful and should start with the first band. The bandmaster pointed out that the hands had their respective locations—one on the board walk and one on the avenue—but black came the cry that as old men on the job they should start the season with the first band, irrespective of location.
But all the unpleasantness was brought to caught by the Park management, without knowledge of the dissatisfaction, canceling the weekly engagement and paying the band Sunday night for Saturday and Sunday.
This cancellation was due solely to the cool weather and resultant lack of attendance, it is said.
This added more fuel to the fire

BEAUTY AND HEALTH
BY OLIVIA D. TUCKER
Pharmacist and Chemist
The most popular face creams of the present day are the so-called "greaseless" preparations, which are sold under many fancy names, such as "vanishing cream," etc. Their great advantage is their faculty of disappearing when rubbed into the skin; evaporation takes place, leaving no greasiness behind. They have also cleansing properties, but their cleansing properties are not the cold cream, because the cold cream is really the cleanser. However, vanishing cream will leave the skin clean and soft, with a natural bloom, and moreover does not choke the pores, as they are practically devoid of mineral matter, which is oftimes very insoluble.
The chief function of a vanishing cream is to act as a powder
A MAY DAY LUNCHEON AS GAY AS SPRING FLOWERS
By -Maureen McKernan
Once upon a time the ambition of every pretty girl was to "sometimes be" Queen of the May," May Day is a festival of such lovely traditions and associations, that it should not be allowed to die out in this hurried age, even though it is not important enough to be called a holiday.
Remember when you watched the lilacs and the cinnamon roses and the iris, hoping that they would bloom in time for May baskets, or that the flowers would last long enough for May morning? and then with what beating heart you stole to the front door to see if some one had loved you enough to hang a fragrant May basket upon your door? And with what hated breath you tipped to the doors of your friends, to hang a pretty little basket laden with buds, and then scurried around the corner to watch, from your hiding place, the delight on the face of your friend when the basket was discovered

Los. Angeles, Calif.-Monday April
28-in the Major Theatre Beaux
Arts, Irving Hardon, baritone, gave
a pleasing and artistic recital of
classic numbers and Spirituals.
Mr Hardon has recently returned from Boston, where, at the recommendation of Kohand Hayes, he studied for three years with Hibbard former teacher of Mr. Hayes, Kundolf Von Liechich was at the piano.
Mr. Hardon gives great promise that America shall know in the future another highlight of his race. He has most prominently two of the qualities that has made for success in Hayes, Mind and Character. He is a sincere and earnest student, with expression, good articulation and much feeling.
And would it help wonderfully if our clubs would voluntarily employ such talent as often as possible-giving the public a beautiful treat and the artist the financial assistance he requires.

"This demonstration" tonight, these wonderful expressions are like a beautiful rainbow after the passing of many storms. As I look back over the past four years as minister of this church, it is like a traveler on a long journey who encounters many storms. He forges ahead, however, with courage and determination by the break forth now and again of beautiful raingows, evidencing the fact that behind every cloud the sun does still shine. No life is full that does not encounter difficulties. The life that pursues the path of least resistance is a life that does not fit into the program of human endeavor. For the past 4 years I do it with a very deep appreciation of all that has been gone to experience for after all we go forth sowing in tears but come forth reaping with joy. We sometimes return home if disappointment but finally return to our post of duty with satisfaction. So deep is our love for this life that know after all that life is worthwhile. No one can appreciate a sweetness of life who does not experience the bitterness of life. "For God's purposes will ripen fast!"
Unfolding every hour.
The bud may have a bitter taste.
But sweet will be the flower."

For two-years he operated out of the San Francisco district, and his health was so improved by the change that on his return to New York, four years ago he attended a community hall he looked. Three months, ago, the old trouble, which eventually resulted in death returned. From the day on which he took to bed to the day of his passing, little hope was held for his recovery, so persistent he was.

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYEES

NICE PEOPLE
NICE PEOPLE
Perhaps the Pullman public may not be aware of this, but it is a fact nevertheless; Pullman porters have a way of evaluating its members, and the evaluation doesn't depend on how much or how little the member might tip, either.
The traveler who labors under the impression that the way to the porter's admiration is through his hands is very badly ataken. This person is often its best asset. This person, but it will not do the trick atone; if the word of a veteren porter may be taken for that statement.
The little amenities and courtesies of life count with the porter as they do with anyone else. And the traveler who observes these things will always find a ready and warm admirer in his porter. As a matter of fact, the average porter is sensitive to the civilities that he has a way of classifying those who practice them, and the classification is rigid.
going up in Berkshire Hills for their honeymoon) and at the same time she handed me a little white box, tied with blue ribbon. It was a piece of her wedding cake.
Of course, I do not have initial couples very day, but I do have passengers almost every trip, who in ways other than tipping, appreciate my services to them. And, I am not the only porter who has these experiences.
"The truth, is this condition is a common thing with most porters who have regular runs. It is people like these that we call nice people. And, it is not for their tips, either, that we called them so."
When the traveller, for example, says, "porter, go get me a bottle of ginger ale," or "Porter, make down by berth at once," the request will be obeyed, but the porter will have his own ideas about how to handle the same passenger. The same passenger might remember the porter handsomely at the end of his trip, but the porter will have his own notions about that passenger's sense of breeding. On the whole, however, those of his class are not met every day. The average Pullman passenger doesn't leave his manners at home. But even so, the average passenger doesn't leave his manners at gory with the nice passenger by discriminating porters.
Among these one frequently hears that adjective used to describe a passenger on a trip. And on runs where the porters know most of the patrons by name, it is common to hear that one and one in a crowd of one and one people. Overhearing recently by a veteran porter, the writer inquired, "what principle did the veteran go when he spoke of passengers as being nice passengers; was it because they tipped liberally, or was it because they were familiar enough with him to address him by name. Neither the veteran nor the season," he replied, "I'll give you an illustration of what I mean by nice people: "The other day while receiving passengers in the Grand Central, a party of ladies and gentlemen, preceded by two redcaps, who said, 'your drawing room, stopped at my car. Looking around, recognized one of the ladies, my app. I said: 'How dove Mrs. Marie
"No, no, Brown, it's not Mrs. A. any more. It's Mrs. T. us, and I want you to meet my husband, Mr. T. this is. Brown of whom you have heard me speak so often."
"What do you suppose, the husband did? He took of his hat, grasped me by the hand, and said: 'Brown, I am glad, to meet you. Mrs. T. has often spoken of the fine way in which you have looked after her on the train.' After the train, left the Grand Central the lady met me in the air of the car, and said: 'Brown, I prayed that this would be your trip up today,' (they were him the place.)
Rev. W. M. Moore preached Sunday afternoon, May 25, at 3 p. m., at Walker Memorial Baptist Church New York City. Some of his congregation accompanied him.

Mott Haven Yard News
Had 'the spirit of the late George M. Pullman entered that sanctum, known as the superintendent's private office, in the Grand Central Building, on Wednesday evening of last week, between the hours of ninety and eleven-thirty, it might have exclaimed, on observing the assemblage of bronze and tan gowns, that 'we're going on here 'I on being informed, however, that the gathering was just a meeting of Pullman Negro 'employees, who were engaged in making final preparations for the memorializing of their dead and the praising of the Pullman Company, the spirit most probably would have beamed with approbation, said, 'My blessing on thee, too good and well done, and that we made its departure from the room. For the next month or so, old faces in new clothes will be a common picture in this district. The reason for this is that all porters of ten years service and 'over, have received their free summer uniforms.
Harry Brooks, the music patron of Yonkers, was seen in the Grand Central Building a few days ago, looking in the prime of health and presenting that so habitually his. Years ago, to differentiate between New York Brooks and Charlie, the boys dubbed the former "Rich" Brooks and the latter "Poor" Brooks. If the life we know is really the only one, then, Harry still retains his title; for as is known, Charlie died several weeks ago. They were not relatives, but they were closely related in dispositions.
Among those reported on the sick list for the week ending May 24 were: A. A. Downs, 143 West 142nd street; A. Rames, 143 West 142nd street; A. Jamaica, 169-119th street; Jamaica, Long Island; S. B. McClain, 244 Monticello avenue, Jersey City, and W. Wilkerson, 409 Edgecombe avenue.
Perry; Parker, grand chairman of the P. P. B. A., spent a few days in New York last week on business connected with the organization. Mr. Parker gave his promise to return to this city for the annual meeting in the vicinity, which will be held at Abyssinian Baptist Church on Sunday evening, June 15. He left Friday for Philadelphia.
Among The Maids.
Pullman maids running in and out of Chicago have started something. They plan to have a club house and home in that city. Chicago has been selected as the best location for the venture, the large number of maids that operate to and from this fetter. The first movement towards inauguration of the plan took place on Saturday evening, May 24, in the form of a dance and cabaret party. The proceeds of the entertainment will go toward financing the project. The group of maids anvers have been in the service five years and less, are headed by Mrs. Grace Hoxter, Miss Sears and Miss Denman. These leaders are soliciting the aid and cooperation of all members of the maid and porter groups in this effort. A more detailed account of the plan will be given later. Miss.

Among the commendable items the article contained was retitled "The Pullman War: to take the place of a tich war attendant who was taken, suddenly ill on a train on which she was maid. Among the maids whose nanges appeared in May's Pullman News for meritorious service; are: H. M. Wood, P. T.; N. Crawford, St. Louis; B. M. Milwaukee; Bettiee Chicago; Southern; J. H.

Penn Terminal Notes
By J. T. REID
S. A. Brown, our popular cornet player, reported for service May. 23, Brown beats sick since March 23. His crew on the Red Arrow missed him, very much.
F. J. Wells who was sick in St. Petersburg, Fla., has returned, to P. T. and is now on his way to his home in Birmingham, Ala., to rest up after his long illness. We will be so soon be back with us as Wells is very popular with all the boys.
We can sympathize with the many private car crews which went to the Kentucky Derby. Some of them looked sadder but wiser. However you can still hear a lot of them looked round in our sign-room.
Our grand chairman, Perry Parker, paid us a short visit Friday, May 23. We always are glad to have Mr. Parker with us as he used to course this time he was on his way to Baltimore, MD, to attend the memorial services of the P. P. B. A. oL A, which was held in Baltimore Sunday, May 25. While we are sure that our grand chairman are still hoping Washington, D. C., we are still hoping Orange to give us another visit before returns to his headquarters in Chicago.
Instrucor J. T. Reid is having his hands full these days giving soda-fountain instructions. All the men in the Philadelphia lakes were given soda-fountain instructions as all boiler cars are now equipped with a soda fountain. This went into effect Saturday, May 24. You will now be able to order any fountain beverage you may desire and what’s more get it. The boys will be able to go even a Pullman Special Sunday.
Our porters baseball team is again going out and try to bring home the bacon in the Industrial League of Long Island. This league will be composed of eight players who will especially the Daily Star and Tattu-Buick. Also the Steenway Piano Company. Manager Reid is driving his boys hard trying to get a stair in this race. His pitching staff is giving him trouble at the ball. All the players nell are still to be heard from although McRae held Steenway to 3 hits in five innings last week. He was wild that they were able to score four runs. A. W. Johnson is still in line 2710 to Sarasota, Fla. He can be checking out every Sunday. Now that's what we call railroading.
We wish some of our young porters would pattern after porter H. A. Turner of Reanoke, Va. "We cannot find words to express our appreciation of this man. His kindness and beyond reproach. We believe that if some of our young and old porters as well, could acquire some of his habits they would make a big improvement in their future progress. More, our popular custodian, can be seen daily wearing a poppy in his button hole. We wonder if he bought it or found it.

NEW YORK TELEPHONE COMPANY
TAMMANY SCANDAL AIRED BY LEADER MEIER STEINBRINK
"It must be a shock, to read what is transmitting in some offices of the city. 'New York is the biggest, richest and worst governed city and it seems that hardly a day goes by without a scandal. Locally we hang up heads in shame when we. read that a county judge is involved in a scandal concerning the leasing of piers, in connection with which a fee of $250,000 has been paid," said Republican County Leader Meier Steinbrink, Monday night, May 19, during the course of a stirring address before the Colored Women's Hoover Committee, which was giving a dinner at the Ashland Place Y. W. C. A.
Mrs.; Addie W. Hunton, president of the committee presided. About 150 persons attended the affair. The address of Mr. Steinbrink was considered the first blow to be struck in his campaign plan of "pounding on the scandals in the city administration." This was the policy that he announced at the recent meeting of the county commu-
Dr. Brown Speaks.
The Rev. W. C. Brown, militant pastor of the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church, was called upon by Mrs. Hunton to respond to Mr. Steinbrink. He thanked Mr. Steinbrink for his plain talk and especially for stating that as long as he was county leader there would be a square deal for all no matter what their race, creed or religion.
Dr. Brown stated among other things:
"We colored men and women are perhaps, a weak group politically, for that reason we appreciate law and order. We realize we need the best men, men of high moral 'sense, in public office. We will do everything we can to reduce the Democratic majority in this county.
In telling of the work and organization of the Hoover Committee Mrs. Hunton spoke of its organization about three months ago and now it has nearly 300 women as members. They come from every section of Brooklyn.
Mrs. Hunton is one of the best known women in the country. She has done Y. W. C. A. work for years, is a former president of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs and during the recent Republican national campaign was Director of the Colored Women's

Julius Greeks, 40, of 149A Lexington avenue, who is a porter for the B. M| T. lines, died in the Jewish Hospital. Thursday, May 22. His death was the result of having fallen from the platform of the Lexington avenue elevated station at Franklin avenue, directly in the path of a Manhattan bound train on Wednesday night. May 21. His right ankle was severed.
When Greeks fell, Motorman John Greeley of 687 Halsey, street, applied the brakes and stopped the train but not until the first trucks had passed over the man's right angle, severing it.
The accident caused much excitement for the station was crowded at the time with men and women.
Patrolman A. Lombardi, of the Classon avenue station, staunched the flow of blood by improvising a tourniquet until Dr. Klein arrived from the Jewish Hospital, and took the injured man there.
Westbound, traffic on the Lexington avenue elevated line was blocked for half an hour.
The remains of Creeks was shipped to his former home under the direction of Allen Dillard, 468 Franklin avenue.
"I HAVE been taking Theodford's Black-Draught a long time, when needed, for constipation which caused me to have headaches and a dull aching all over.
"I found Black-Draught would dispel all this and keep my complexion smooth and fine. I never have a blemish.
"I would not be without Black-Draught for anything."
"Miss Ella Mae Harris, 406 Jessamine St, Memphis, Tenn."
Theodford's Black-Draught is a cleaning medicine for constipation, indigestion, biliousness. Sold by all druggists.

are or the way out
Time wasters, money wasters, efficiency wasters all are on the way out.
Under present day business conditions no one can compete successfully who overlooks the most efficient and economical ways of getting things done.
That's why out-of-town telephone service is particularly important now. It saves time, money, travel and over-head. It supplements salesmen's efforts aids distribution—cuts costs—speeds turn-over—makes larger profits possible.
There is no other way of handling out-of-town affairs in so many different places, so quickly and so satisfactorily. It gives you complete two-way communication-a round trip at a single trip price. It gets things done.
