Appellate Term of Supreme Court Hands Down Important Decision On Suits Under the Civil Rights Law
Denies Right of Defendant To Examine Plaintiff In Suit Before Trial, Thus Preventing Pre-Knowledge of Testimony In Case Last week the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court handed down a decision of great importance in race discrimination cases. It held, in short, that a theatre, restaurant or other place of public accommodation cannot examine before trial or pry into the case of a person bringing suit under the Civil Rights Law
VOL. 43. No. 39
Appellate Term o Hands Down Imp Suits Under the Denies Right of Defend Tiff In Suit Before ing Pre-Knowledge Last week the Appell Court handed down a dec in race discrimination case a theatre, restaurant or o modation cannot examine case of a person bringing Law.
The decision was rendered in the case of Butler vs. the St. Johns Cafeteria.
The plaintiff, Benjamin F. Butler, jr., Brooklyn's well known colored florist, was refused service by te management of the cafeteria, and brought suit under the Civil Rights Law by his attorney, Oliver D. Williams, whose offices are at 67 Wall street, New York City.
The restaurant owner's retained Senator Alah W. Burlingame to defend them. The Senator proceeded to examine Butler before trial, whereupon Mr. Williams made application to have the order authorizing the examination of his client vacated, but his application was denied by the trial court. An appeal was promptly taken and the decision of the lower court was reversed by the Appellate Term.
In commenting upon the victory, Mr. Williams said, "As far as I know this decision is the first of its kind rendered by an Appellate Court in a case involving the Civil Rights Law. If the decision had been otherwise, the law might just as well have been repealed, because all persons practicing discrimination then would have been able to know in advance what a plaintiff intended to prove and how he intended to prove his case. It is obvious this would enable the persons sued to manufacture, if necessary, any number of defenses to defeat a complaint of discrimination. Fortunately this is not possible, due to the Appellate Term's recent decision."

WEDDING LICENSE CAUSES POLICE TO ARREST THREE
Getting married is no easy job. There is more to it, than obtaining a marriage license and getting a minister to perform the ceremony, as coyron H. Casson, 20 of 82 Mills street and Miss Loretta Mayben, 17, of 14-42 Broadway, both of Astoria, Long Island, learned. They tried first to obtain a license from Deputy Clerk William Zimmerman at his office in Queens Borough Hall in Long Island City, but failed when they could not give proof of their ages. But police of the Hunter's Point Queens, station say that their attempt did not end there; for they charge Miss Mayben's uncle, Samuel Glover, 23, of the Astoria address, and his wife, Beulah, obtained the necessary certificate by posing as the youthful couple.
And as a result Glover was arrested on a perjury charge. Casson and Miss Mayben were also arrested by Detective Joseph Burke of the Hunters Point station and on Thursday, May 29, were held by Magistrate Lawrence T. Gresser in $1,000 bail each to await action of the Queens grand jury.
Assemblyman Francis E. Rivers has been retained as defense attorney.

OFFICERS AND PREACHERS CAN END LYNCHINGS Official Neglect and Religious Indifference Responsible
Atlanta, Ga.-Official neglect and local religious indifference are charged with major responsibility for the continuance of lynchings in America, in a statement issued from the headquarters of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation.
Based on personal investigation of recent lynchings and a study of the whole situation over a period of years, the statement holds that the preachers and the officers of the law can end lynchings whenever they determine to do so, and in the meantime cannot escape definite responsibility.
"The recent upsurge of mob violence, claiming four victims in the South in as many weeks, is immeasurably depressing to lovers of justice and to patriotic Americans jealous of their country's good name," says the Commission's statement. "Upon two groups, we are convinced,—upon the officers of the law, and the migrants and other moral leaders in the community—rests the ultimate responsibility for the lynching habit.
Lynching Means Neglect.
"Practically every lynching means that some officer has neglected his duty or surrendered to the mob. 'Reasonable vigilance would have prevented, most of them. The two latest lynchings illustrate this fact. At Walhalla, S. C., threatening mobs gathered on two nights preceding the lynching, no effect was made to remove the prisoner or to provide adequate protection for the jail." The Sherman, Texas, the sheriff, the police, the famous Texas rangers, and finally the National Guard were all on the scenes and all failed to make any effective resistance. During the final hours of the mob's work, while it blasted its way into the courthouse vault and burned the victim's body in the street, the mob seems to have been wholly unopposed. These case are typical of most.
"The responsibility of our religious leaders is equally obvious. Few will doubt that the preachers of the South, if they would, could speedily build a Christian sentiment that would no longer tolerate lynchings. Colored, preachers, in turn, should do their utmost to encourage their people in good citizenship and in cooperation with the administration of law and order. Neither the crime of the victim nor that of the mob may be condoned.
At a meeting of the New York Interdenominational Conference at Salem M. E. Church on Monday, the work of the Rev. J. K Humphrey was given a vote of confidence and sympathy.
Rev. Humphrey, who was until recently pastor of the Harlem, First Seventh Day Adventist Church, has organized an independent work of this denomination along racial lines. He has established churches both in New York and the West Indies.
The Rev. G. Becton, evangelist, who has been conducting resival services at Salem Church for several months, also addressed the conference.
The Rev. D. Ward Nichols is president of the Conference and the Rev. F. J. Handy, secretary.
Col. Lindberg Gives Negro Policeman a Lift
Paterson, N. J.-Patrolman Fred Thompson, the only Negro on the police force, was at the corner of Madison and Third avenues on Tuesday afternoon, and wanted to get to headquarters.
Along came a motorist, and Thompson hailed him:
"Give me a lift to headquarters?" "Sure, step in," said the motorist.
And when the patrolman had gotten in the car and had a chance to take a look at the motorist, he was surprised.
The man behind the wheel was no other than Charles Lindberg, who flew alone in his "Spirit of St. Louis" to Paris, and later, has flown twice over the Caribbean Sea to South American countries.
You're Col. Lindberg," said Thompson, you Col. Lindberg," said Thompson.
And when the patrolman alighted at East 18 street and Van Houten avenues, he took the colonel's hand and said, "I'm very glad to know you."
"I'm very glad to know you, too" was the hearty reply from Col. Lindberg.
19-Year Old Negro Youth Lynched By Oklahoma Mob After Arrest For Alleged Attack On White Woman
Chickasha, Okla.—Lynch law took the life of Henry Argo, 19-year old Negro youth; Saturday, May 31. Argo, who had been charged with attacking a white woman, is the third Negro to die at the hands of mobs in the Southwest within the month.
49th Commencement at Tuskegee Institute Brings Judge Albert B. George As Principal Orator
Argo was alleged to have attacked the wife and small baby of G. W. Skinner, white farmer living in a dug-out about three miles from Chickasha. Arrested two miles from the city on a highway and brought to jail after identification by the woman, Argo vehemently denied any knowledge of the attack, said that he was innocent and that he was from Oklahoma City and on his way to Texas.
As soon as news spread of the alleged attack, and the arrest of Argo, a large mob formed, shouting threats of violence against anyone that stopped them. They marched to the Grady County Jail, burst through the heavy doors to the steel cell where Argo was confined. With crowbars, axes, iron pipes they started prying away the plaster and wood at the side of the door to make an opening.
Use Blank Cartridge
Machine guns with blank cartridges were turned on the mob during the height of the rioting and tear gas bombs were hurled by the National Guardsmen. The mob disconnected telephones to the Jail. Then one of the members with a rifle took position in a tree and shot Argo. The bullet pierced his skull. Wrapped in a sheet he was carried from the jail to a hospital where it was said that attendants declined to receive him. Members of the mob did not attempt to molest Argo, believing that he was dead.
After a time, Argo was carried back to the jail whie the rioting broke out again. This time G. W. Skinner, husband of the woman alleged to have been attacked, plunged a knife into Argo's chest as he lay on a cot in the jail. The mob set fire to a truck outside the jail and then stacked a pile of mattresses in a downstairs room, soaked them with gasoline and lighted the pile. The guardsmen came out announced that the Negro prisoner was dead and carried his body, out wrapped in sheets to a waiting undertaker's ambulance.
Argo was not dead when he was placed in the ambulance but members of the mob thought so and the unconscious Negro was rushed to the University of Oklahoma Hospital, Oklahoma City, about 50 miles away where he died from his wounds. Officers arrested Skinner and three others of the mob but they were released without bail by county authorities. Governor W. J. Holloway at Oklahoma City directed B. F. Holding, Grady County attorney, and J Berry King, Attorney General, to take immediate action in prosecuting leaders of the Chickasha mob. The Governor said he would insist upon immediate prosecution so "law and order might be upheld."
Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-The necessity for joining with others in cooperative movements for racial advancement was urged upon graduates of Tuskegee Institute by Judge Albert B. George of the Municipal Court of Chicago, who delivered the commencement address here Thursday afternoon. May 29, at the 49th anniversary commencement.
"Cooperation and orgaization are the keynote words of the day," the speaker said. "You and your neighbor and your fellow citizen have much in common and ought to join hand, to resist wrong angel-promote and preserve right. Find your place, young men and women, when you leave Tuskegee, in some organization where in company with your fellows, as leaders of followers, you ask some contribution to civic righteousness and racial advancement and become worthy of your alma mater."
Tennessee Mob Shoots Negro Charged With Stabbing Detective
Oakdale, Tenn.—After he was shot and seriously wounded by a mob numbering 200 men, Willie Campbell, Negro, of Columbus, Ga, was taken to the county jail, Saturday, May 17. Campbell was accused of stabbing Marion Goodman, Southern Railway detective last Thursday.
More than 200 men participated in the man hunt in which bloodhounds were used. Captured in the woods, Campbell was shot at by members of the posse, three bullets entering his body.
Feeling had been frunning 'high since the stabbing but Sheriff Davis persuaded the mob to disperse after Campbell's capture and thus prevented another possible lynching.
Goodman is in a Chattanooga hospital in a serious condition with eight knife wounds.
Widow of Lynched Porter Is Destitute
According to the latest information received at the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the widow of J. H. Wilkins, a Kansas City Pullman Porter, whose body was found tied to a tree at Locust Grove, Ga., April 5, is destitute by reason of the fact that the company is withholding payment on the insurance of the deceased porter. Brotherhood officials who are in direct communication with Mrs. Wilkins state that it would appear that the company fears it would be liable for damages in the event the insurance is paid as "accidental death" instead of "natural death".
Pullman porters and maids are required to carry a sick and death benefit policy known as a "Group Insurance Plan" with the Prudential Life Insurance Company, and also membership in the Pullman Porters' Benefit Association with assessments of $77.50 out of his meagre wages of $77.50 a month, in order to work for the Pullman Company, according to leader of the firm, and the probing and prosecution of the lynching by Frank P. Walsh will also include an investigation of the insurance policy.

Lizaire placed a wreath upon the tomb of Tuskegee's founder as a token of esteem.

DEMOCRATS PICK TONEY & WATSON FOR JUDGESHIPS
The judicial candidates in the new Municipal Court District, made possible by the Rivers Bill, were selected by the Democratic organizations of the 19th and 21st Districts this week, according to a report coming to The Age on Tuesday.

Toney, one of the oldest colored lawyers in point of service in New York City, will be the candidate from the 21st District.
The Republican candidates have not yet been selected.
William Chisholm, the 17 year old colored freshman at Columbia University, who was nominated as a candidate for the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis by Congressman Gavagan, denies that there was any discrimination in the examinations.
He said his failure to pass the entrance examination was entirely his own fault. His decision to take the preliminary examination had been made a few days before they were given and he did not have adequate time to prepare. When he was potified that he had qualified for the final examination, he had only a month, to prepare, for six tests, and at the same time had to sit for five examinations at Columbia.

and out in the street" hundreds of people gathered to hear the echoes of the hymns and eulogies from within.
The coffin, sealed in a silver mounted case, was buried under peonies and roses. Old troupers who had toured the country with Gilpin and stars now playing in, "The Green Pastures" mourned for a fellow player who had brought distinction to their profession.

"Dumbbell" User Is Caught Twice By Same Policeman In Newark
"Dumbbell" User Is Caught Twice By Same Policeman In Newark
Newark, N. J.—In 1925, a man who gave the name of Jack Green, and described himself as a boxer, of 415 Myrtle avenue, was arrested by Patrolman Brodsky, after Green had attacked the officer with a dumbbell. The policeman kept the dumbbell.
And on Tuesday afternoon, five years later, the same man held up Hyman Gold; 65, a shop keeper at 211 Prince street, beating him over the head with another dumbbell, and when he attempted to escape, with a crowd of peddlers passersay persuing him, Greene ran into the arms of the same policeman, and tried to use another dumbbell.
In this case, Brodsky was assisted by Patrolman Nathan Harris, and Greene was soon, subdued.
The shop keeper was found to be suffering from a fracture of the skull and relapsed into unconsciousness after identifying Green. He is held on a charge of atrocious assault, but his victim is expected to die.

Grand Jury Indicts
14 For Texas Lynching
Sherman. Texas--Fourteen men were indicted May 20 on charges of arson, rioting and burglary in connection with the disturbances here May 9 when a mob burned the court house, causing the death of George Hughes, a Negro, who had pleaded guilty to assaulting a white woman. The indictments were based on evidence furnished by a military court of inquiry. After making its report. District Judge R M. Carter ordered the grand jury recessed subject to call.
gret that his burial had been so obsecure and far from Broadway.
"We have been criticized for disturbing the dead," said Mr. Shipp, "but our friend was buried near a railroad track where the earthumbled and his bones could not rest in peace. It was too far away for his friends to get to his grave easily, so the executors of his estate decided that we would have this second funeral service and would bury him in Woodlawn Cemetery."
Sounds of sympathetic agreement came from the crowed benches in the jittle funeral establishment. Mr. Shipp said that for some time he had been advocating the placing of impressive monuments at the graves of performers who had created favorable sentiment for their race.
"People don't realize the value of the stage as an educational force in the elevation of races," he said. "It is a question whether the church or stage has done more in this direction. You all know too much about our friend's accomplishments for me to repeat his history here, but I remember an expression that he particularly liked: "Give me a few friends who will like me for what I am in old age and infirmity, teach me still to be thankful for life and for memories that are old and sweet." And those friends are here to-day."
Tears In Old Friends' Eyes
Tears dripped over the folded hands of Lloyd G. Gibbs and his cheerful countenance under its rounded fringe of gray hair was a study in woe as Shipp finished his eulogy. Mr. Gibbs played in "Abyssinia" and "Roseanne" with Gilpin. Miss Lillian Wood who appeared with Gilpin repeatedly on the stage, sat with his relatives, and Charles H. Moore, who plays the Sunday School Teacher and also "Isaac" in "The Green Pastures," grieved for begone days when he played on the road with Gilpin.
Joe Loomis, Alonzo Boran, James Slater and Louis Slater, all troupers who played at one time or another with the "Emperor Jones" sat side by side in silent grief. Out on the side-walk Harlem was moaning audibly and shedding tears. Mr. Patterson, who had charge of the services, read the following verses, written for the occasion by Mme. E. F. Robertson:
"Rest on, rest on-through all eternity
Sleep thy much deserved sleep.
And when the great day shall comd
Without the weary beat of tom-
or the tumbling of some drum.
But from the blast of Gabriel'
horn
Arise, and before the mighty
throng
Exulting and extolling thy God thy
soul to keep.
"Bleest be the tie that binds
Shall never more be heard from
you:
Your jovial greetings—your wit
and humor—
Are for us forever through.
Your welfare and your well being
from this mother heart of mine
Shall always with soulful prayers.
Just as in life, through all eternity
be there.
Little Emperor, sleep on and take
the rest."
Hymn Echoed in Street
Gilpin's favorite hymn "Abide with Me," was sung and its echo was taken up by the throng gathered in the street. The last song he had bought but had not been able to sing because his fine baritone voice was gone was sung by William C. Elkins Louis' Godfrey sang "The Lonesome Road." The flowers were from the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association, the Rhythm Club, the Cleft Club and the Dressing Room Club, Gilpin's sister, Alicia Brown, and his son, Paul, were present, along with a number of relatives and friends of the family. Burial was in Woodlawn Cemetery. The earlier funeral services held for Mr. Gilpin was in the Shiloah Baptist Church, in Trenton, and burial was beside his mother, Mrs. Caroline Gilpin, in Riverview Cemetery. Lambertville. The actor died on May 6, in the four-room cottage in Filtledge Park, to which he retired a year ago when he lost his voice.

The opinion maintained the power of
Congress to enact the prohibition against

the settlement,of disputes with employers.
The legality of collective action on the
part of employees to guard their proper
interests is not to be disputed and they
are entitled to organize for that purpose.
The court stated that sueh collective action

TEXAS LAW ASSERTS ITSELF.
Those who saw in the recent revival of
mob law and lynching in Texas, a blow
to the authority of the state and the abdi-
cation of its functions in favér of the mob,
may rest reassured that the law has again
asserted its authority. It may be remem.
bered that the torn of Sherman was over-
run by a mob of rioters, who burned the
courthouse where a Negro prisoner was
on trial for an alleged assault, took the
body from the vault where he was roasted
to death and dragged it through the Ne-
gro section of the town, looting and burn-
ing the residences as they passed through.
+In one of these houses sat a Negro phy-
sician, while the militia was trying to drive
the mob away, without firing upon them,
as that had been forbidden by the Gover-
nor. The physician held a Winchester rifle
across his knee. A white militiaman en-
tered the house and asked about thé gun.
‘The doétor answered that he had it th pro-
feet his home, as his office and ‘the homes
of his friends had heen robhed and burned
by the.mob, As the result of the visit
the doctor was arrested anda charge of
carrying concealed weapons was entered
against him
Thus the mayest? of Texas law was vin-
dicated im the town of Sherman... The
of a prisoner interrupted and the prisoner
deprived of lifé without tria! or conviction,
innocent people driven from their homes
and theif houses looted and burned, with-
out a’shot fired to prevent any of ‘these
infractions of law. But when a-physician
and a householder bore arms openly in his
own’ louse as protection againat this same
mob, he was arrested on a chatge of carri.
ing concealed weapons.
Texas law would appear to have a far-
cical side, despite the tragic consequences
of its failure of enforcement at the right
time. aoe, #.
_THE MAN WHO WORRIED GOD.
eT eee ee ee ee WeeL: SET:
of drama enacted by an all-Negro com-
pany which has occupied a Broadway
stage the past few months, there seems
to be one feature that has escaped special
attention. Much has been said of the ap-
peal of the production,as an attempt to
present certain aspeets of a living religion
in the terms of its believers, It nas been
called sublime; while avoiding the pitfall
of the ridiculous, Hardbeiled theatrical
critics have exhausted their supply of ad-
jectives in setting forth:its moving appeal,
while the most, sophisticated audiences
have listened and gazed in rapt attention
to its portrayal of biblical episodes.”
On the other hand a few Negro ctities
have objected to its being accepted as a
genuine exposition of a racial cenception
of Heaven, some even going to the length
of saying that a Negro heaven would com-
prise white angels with golden lacks, sub-
sisting on a fare of, milk and honey, in-
stead of the homely fish fry ‘set forth so
[picturesquely in “The .Green. Pastures.”
Of course, it is futile to quarrel with any
other person's conception of Heaven
Most of the audiences that see this play
accept the conception of a colored feaven,
with black and brown angels, as entirely
in keeping with what they believe to be
the psychology of a primitive people.
They even come to accept without
wincing the idea of the Deity walking the
earth in the guise of a benevolent look-
ing colored preacher who takes an active
interest in the trials and transgressions
lof the genus homo, which he created. The
acceptance of this black miracle play by
white audiences is not the least remark-
able part of the production. But the high-
est point of the play comes when the re-
ligious comedy of Mr. Roark Bradford
ends and Marc Connelly takes up the story
in more serious vein. The incidents taken
front the Old Testament by Mr. Brad-
ford, and told,in Negro dialeet in his book
“Ol’ Man Adam an’ His Chillun.” have a
peculiar charm, which has been preserved
in refidering them,on the stage. comic and
grotesque as they may appear in the read:
ing. But the book as a whole dogs not
compare with the early dialeet stories told
by Charles W. Chestnutt in “The Conjure
Woman.” 1%
The high point of the play is struck by
Mr. Connelly in his portrayal of the char-
acter’ of Hezdrel, which affords Daniel
Haynes a splendid opportunity to reveal
his powers as a real actor“Gapable of re-
straint and feeling. Hezdrel.ds shown as
a warrior defending-Jerusalem against the
attacks of the heathen, wounded and fight:
ing an almost hopeless fight. but saving
the lives of those within the walls by pro-
viding for their escape under the cloak of
darkness. He ‘maintains a firm faith in
the merey of God to save his people, white
at the same time he faces the alternative
of death for the defenders of the city with
calm’ courage and unfaltering composure.
‘It was his living faith and-insistent calling
upon Ged to save His people that caused
the impersonator of the Lord, Richard
Harfison, to declare that there was a man
who worried him, and finally brought
about’ the transformation of a God of
Wrath into a God of Mercy, This is the
high point of the play. -
The apochryphal ‘character’ of Hezdrel
as impersonated by Mr, Haynes is probab-
ly the finest that has been allotted to an
actor of the race, It is of ‘heroic stature.
far surpassing in moral and physical qual-
ities the, leading parts in “The Emperor
Jones,"-““All, God's Chillun" or’ the few
other plays in which the leading role has
been played by a Negro. Not, the least
gratifying feature of ‘Mr, Connelly’s play
is the presentatinn“of this character, briet

tinction, : sO

figures:

recorded ‘in the 7th verse of the

"The mirage shall become a pool."
“A mirage is an optical iflusion
of the desert,” said. the ministet
beginning his sermon: "a false pic

In the application to life, we will
compare, the mirage, as spoken o!
by Isaiah, to the unreal, valueless

a series of experiences that lead
us from the unreal to the real, On
the road some are made bitter and

feel that the poo! is only filled with
dirty, salty water. But we must
neither allow life to make us doubt
everything nor to make us believe
that whatever is, is ugly. We must
remember that it is good to bave

Lincoln Giants Take 4 More Games Over The Holiday Weekend
After winning a double header from the Brooklyn Royal Giants at Dexter Park, Brooklyn, on Decoration Day, the Lincoln Giants returned to their home grounds Sunday to defeat Hilldale in two one-sided contests. The score of Sunday's games were 16-8 and 13-8. Rivalry between the Lincoln Giants' two leading home run hitters—Johnny Beckwitt and Charles Smith—was evidenced in the first game. They each got two home runs in this contest but Beckwitt had a perfect game at bat, getting four hits in four times to the plate, while Smith was only able to get two hits out of three chances. In the second game home runs were hit by Dallard and Stearnes.
While the Hildale team has improved in the past few weeks they are still badly in need of pitchers. The second game was also featured by a double-play from Smith to Lloyd. Smith caught a fly ball in deep right field and made a perfect throw to Lloyd to get Lackey at first base.
On Sunday, June 8, the Royal Giants will return to Protectory Oval to match the double-header. On the following Sunday the Baltimore Black 'Sox will make their first appearance in New York this season against the Lincoln Gins.
Douglass Junior High Wins Baseball Title For Upper Manhattan
By winning the fifth and sixth games of the season, Frederick Douglass Junior high school won the championship of Upepr Manhattan. The fifth game which was played between Galvani and Douglass was won 16 to 4. It was so one-sided that it was stopped in the sixth inning. The sixth game was played by Douglass and Manhattanville. The Harlem boys won with a score of 8 to 7. "Many spectacular catches were made on both sides. Spiller, Anderson, Buxton and Lassiter distinguished themselves, in the field. Trotter scored the winning run on a single. He stole second, third and home. All of these boys are members of the Douglass team.

Newark, N. J.—The official opening of the tennis season in New Jersey will be celebrated with the Cockburn Trophy matches. This year will mark the fifth annual play for this famous trophy. The play this year will be held on the courts of the Shady Rest Country Club, Westfield, N. J., Saturday and Sunday, June 14 and 15. The spared no pains in making preparations for this event, and hope it will pass the record attendance set at Plainfield for these matches, three years ago.
The donor of this trophy, emblematic of the team championship of the States of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is Captain Joshua C. Cockburn of New York City. As merely a lover of the sport, he donated this magnificent sterling silver trophy in 1925 and has been contested for each year by, the teams from these states. Eleven matches are played in each round. The first round on Saturday will bring the Pennsylvania team against the Jerseyites, for the right to meet the New Yorkers (the present holders of the cup) on Sunday in the challenge round.
Shady Rest Country Club at Westfield, N.J., is known throughout the country for its excellent facilities, and the tennis courts are among the best in the East. Provisions have been made to seat 600 spectators, ample parking space has been provided and everything is in readiness for your comfort over the next weekend.
Such players of note will be found on the various teams as Eyre Sautch, former national champion heading the team from the Empire State and with such other sterling players as Reggie Wier, the youthful phenom, Dr. Percy Richardson who defeated the national champion in the New York tournament last year; Mrs Frances Guttens, runner-up for national honors, Mrs. Emilia Leónard, Mrs Elise Conick and others The Keystone State will have two former national champions in their team, Dr Sylvester Smith and Miss Luu Ballard. It is expected that they will also have Dr Gordon, John Hawkins, Miss Lara Tennant and other team. The Mosquito state expects to have their state champion Solomon (Happy) Worde to head their team. Such players as the Granger Brothers, Harsey Butler, Henry Williams, George Hill Miss Elveta Marcellus and others will help to try to bring the trophy back to Jersey for a year.

Gus Moore Retains Natinal 10-Mile Title
Gus Moore, wearing the colors of the Brooklyn Harriers, easily led the field of seventy-two runners on Decoration Day, to win the National A. A. U. ten-mile championship. Moore has been the national cross-country champion for two years. The race was on the track of the New London County Kair Association and it was run in a heavy downpour. Many runners discarded their shoes, so slippery and heavy was the going. Moore led from the start. His time was 55 minutes and 21 seconds. T. C. Ottey of the Meadowbrook Club of Philadelphia was second. The first twenty to finish were given trophies by the Durwell Club of this city, who had charge of the race.

Dr. Wm. P. Hayes Is Distinctive In Role Of 'Shylock' In Play
Dr. Wm. P. Hayes Is Distinctive In Role Of 'Shylock' In Play
On the occasion of the thirteenth annual reunion exercises of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, Lenox avenue and 120th street, it was revealed that the pastor, the Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes, is not only a good preached, but possesses strong dramatic ability.
This was shown in his characterization of the part of "Shylock" in the Shakespearean play, "Merchant of Venice," in its presentation in the church auditorium on Thursday, evening, May 29.
The principal characters besides "Shylock," were "Portia," portrayed by Mrs. William P. Hayes, and the "Duke of Venice," by Rev. J. W. Robinson, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church.
The cast had been grilled by Richard B. Harrison, Vere Johns and Dr. Hayes, and they gave a fine production. Special acclaim was given Dr. Hayes, Mrs. Hayes and Dr. Robinson for their splendid and virile enactments, and the large audience voiced its approval in an enthusiastic manner. Special music was rendered during the evening by the Mt. Olivet choir, the Manhattan Male Chorus and an orchestra under direction of L. F. Dyer. Other members of the cast were J. C. Ashurst as "Anrona" and "Leonadon"; Edlar Hawkins as "Bassanion"; Joseph Christian as "Salario"; J. B. Jeneffeld as "Salarino"; Malcolm G. Cotton as "Larenze"; Albert C. Hawkins as "Gratiano"; L. J. Warner as "Tubal" Old Gobbo; "Balthazar" and "Stephano"; Vere Johns as "Launcelo Gobbo"; Novello Pinder as "Nerissa" and "Clerk of the Court; and Willie E. Branch as "L Jessica."
The play was given as part of the
observances of the 52nd anniversary of
the church, the special services
being held Sunday, June 1.
At The New Douglas
Desperate measures are being taken by the police to uncover a gang or black-mailing murderers, who have threatened the life of the socially prominent daughter of Senator Baldwin.
A well-known spung clubman (Jack Mullah) has taken a hand in the affair and is constantly in danger of this life.
Here is a mystery that defies solution. Even the members of the cast of Murder Wall (Out) have beheaded the New Double. They trest the Saturday, Sunday and Monday, June 7-8 and 9, were kept in the dark as to the identity of the criminals until the very end of this great mystery thriller.
The cast headed by Jack Mulhall and Lila Lee (recently seen together in "Dark Streets") is an exceptionally jigged one. It includes Noah Berry.
PAUL ROBESON IN "OTHELLO"
Richard Watts jr., writer on dramatics in the New York Herald Tribune in his column, "Sight and Sound," is in London, England, and comments on the performance of Paul Robeson as "Othello" in the Shakespearean tragedy, Said he:
There still seems to be some sort of academic question in this vicinity concerning the race of Othello. There appears to be little doubt that Shakespeare thought he was writing about a Negro, but the rather pedantic problem deals with whether the dramatist's possibly naive theories on the subject should be accepted or whether the more scientific findings of the ethnologists, seconded by classic conventions of acting, are to be followed. The matter may have its piquant interest for select bands' of specialists, but it becomes almost furiously infantile in the face of Paul Robeson's performance of the part. Here is not merely a Negro playing what may or may not be a Negro role. Here is a magnificent actor, with a superb voice, a noble bearing and a tremendous dramatic power portraying one of the drama's great tragic characters with genuine distinction. Mr. Robeson's Othello is, at the moment, the sensation of London, not because it is regarded as something in the nature of a stunt, but merely because it is exceptional acting.
It is likely that few Shakespearean roles lean so heavily on a certain nobility in the actor's manner as does Othello. There is no getting away from it; the Moor, for all the eloquence of his speeches and the inherent pathos of his plight, is not the most sympathetic character in the world. He is, among other things, a credulous hot-head and a gullible imbecile, and he can be made to seem detestable, as well as foolish. It is not the simplest thing imaginable to demonstrate his more touching qualities—his sensitive honor, his embattled pride, his simple perplexity and earnest straightforwardness among scheming mind. It is perhaps Mr. Robeson's chief feat that he is able to show you that there is more than a touch of truth in the somewhat lame explanation that it was an injured sense of honor, not mere jealousy, that led him to slay his wife. The apology is not altogether acceptable. it is true, but added to certain other extenuating circumstances it does result in a compassionate portrait. In Mr. Robeson's hands you see Othello as a sooty perplexed, simple-minded man utterly lost amid the tortuousness of treachery, 'not because he is inferior, but because he is so essen-
THEATRICAL JOTTINGS
(Plinch-hitting for Bob Slater.)
"Change Your Luck," an all-colored musical comedy, presented by Cleon Throckmorton, will open at the George M. Cohen Theatre Wednesday, June 4. Many well-known performers are in the production, including Garland Howard, Hamtreet Harrington, Speedy Smith, Alex Lovejoy, Leigh Whipner, Alberta Perkins, Cora LaRed, Sterling Grant and Angie Lawson.

tially superior, to his marked enemy. He shows you goodness of hearts, beaten by guile, and because that spectacle is heartbreaking, so is his performance enormously moving. In a word, he gives you Othello as Shakespeare must have planned him, which is as thorough a tribute as any.
As are all the Shakespearean heroes, Othello is, to a supreme degree, a singing part. To the mighty music of the role, Robeson brings that magnificent voice of his, with all its newly developed variety and flexibility. It will surprise no one that he recites his lines' with a beauty that is unfailingly effective, but it may be more in the way of news that he can now use his voice with a shrewdness and dramatic forcefulness that make it less in the nature of a stirring song in the nature of a clearly dramatic performance, with none of the lyricism lost. The magnificent tones, combined with the noble stature and the fine, burning sincerity of the man, would alone be enough to make his Othello an extraordinarily effective one.
To Americans, who have known all these Robeson qualities, his success in the role is far from surprising, and they may be inclined to overlook the qualities as an actor, which, so far as I know, have never been appreciated before. In the past we have been inclined to regard him as merely eloquent. If you could see him in "Othello," with his heartbreaks and his momentary lightness, his terrifying rages and his pathetic confidence, his arrogance and his bewilderment, you would see that he is not merely a voice crying, in what can, by no means be described as a wilderness. The qualities of voice and appearance that once have been considered his entire equipment have now merged with a fine knowledge of the technique of acting. The result is a magnificent player.
There are gratifying reports that Robeson may play Othello in New York next season and that Miss Lillian Gish may conceivably be opposite him. Despite all my admiration for Miss Gish, however, I cannot believe that she would be one bit more effective than Miss Peggy Ashcroft, who is so enormously moving as Desdemona in the London production. Miss Ashcroft, Miss Sybil Thorndike and the settings might be used to great advantage in America, but the rest of the local version could just as well be left over here. Particularly ineffective is Maurice Browne as lagen, a role that might well be played in Manhattan by, say, Edward G. Robinson or Osgood Perkins. Max Montesole isn't very good as Cassin.

At The Lafayette Theatre
Another illustrious name is being added this week to the long list of celebrities who have appeared at the Lafayette Theatre during the past few weeks. This time it is Jules Bledsoe, internationally famous singer and dramatic singer. Bledsoe is appearing (in person, of course) as a special added attraction with Ed Small's Club Paradise Revue. This is a fast, funny and beautiful revue by itself. The presence and voice of Jules Bledsoe, however, place it in a class by itself as a stage offering. Charlie Johnson's Famous Band renders all the music for the stage's show.
The cast presenting Small's Paradise Revue is also worthy of mention: Willie Jackson, Sherman and White, Myra Johnson, Mae Brown, Jackie Mabie, Bee Flower, "Snake Hips" Taylor, the Paradise Beauty Chorus and other favorites.
The usual big talking picture program is being presented together with this big stage show. The feature is "Dangerous Paradise" starring Nancy Carroll and Richard Arlen.

IN THE REALM OF MUSIC
CAMDEN CHOIR WINS SECOND TIME IN BORDENTOWN SCHOOL'S CHOIR CONTEST GAINING PERMANENT CUP POSSESSION
The beautiful and attractive campus, of the Manual Training School at Bordentown, N. J., was thronged with an interested multitude from all sections of New Jersey and New York, with many friends from Philadelphia, Boston, and other points, on Memorial Day, Friday, May 30, for the seventh annual choir contest among church choirs of New Jersey which was preceded by a physical education demonstration by the girls of the school; military maneuvers by the cadet regiment, including a rifle, company; a concert by the institute's regimental band of thirty pieces, which recently was awarded first prize in a state band contest, and a close, exciting game of baseball between the Bordentown Injuries and a team from Orange, in which the visitors handed the home team its first defeat in two years by the score of 5 to 4 in eleven innings.
Hundreds of cars were parked in the vicinity of the boys' dormitory, while a score of large touring buses brought the various choirs and other special groups of visitors. Many came by train and trolley cars to add to the gather-
been victorious in 1926 and 1927.
Following the conest, choirs, with their pastors and wives, and the judges, were guests of the school at a sumptuous dinner, served in the dining room by the culinary staff, with students as waiters.
The principal, Dr. W. R. Valentine, with Mrs. Valentine, and the assistant principal, Prof. Williams, were constantly on the go, here and there, greeting and welcoming the visitors, and doing what they might to make their visit pleasant and agreeable to the B. J. director, director of extension work, and Fred J. Work, director of music, rendered effective aid. The choir contest, delayed somewhat by the length of the exhibition program, got under way shortly before 4 o'clock with five groups taking part. Silver cups as trophies, one being statewide, the other confined to church choirs of Burlington county.
Mr. Work was in direct charge of the contest, and he had selected as anthems to be sung in the contest, the Agnus' Dei, Lamb of God, by Charles McKinley, local choirs, and "By the waters of Babylon" by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, to be sung by the state choirs.
Rules for the contest provided that each chair must have at least ten members; that only the piano should be an accompanying instrument; that the chairs should have been a boga fide member for at least a month immediately preceding the contest. The decision was placed entirely in the hands of the board of three judges, disinterested and invited by the school. This board was made up of W. Franklin Hoxter of 716 South 19th street, Philadelphia, music editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, Paul H. Fink, head of the department of Military Academy - Toft white boys, and Lucien H. White, music editor of the New York Age. This was Mr. Hoxter's first service as judge, Messrs. Fink and White having acted in a similar capacity in the contest prescribed that the judges must base their decision on an arbitrary percentage scheme, i. e. Attack, 15 balance, 20: Expression, 15 precision, 15 communication, 15 generosity, 20: making a possible 100, net rating.
It was a noticeable development that; the choirs had made much progress in their performance, chosen were studiously calculated to demand serious application and study, and it was evident from the opening of the concert that had prolonged this requirement.
The program opened with singing of the National Negro anthem by the massed choirs and audience. Miss Frances Grant at piano, Mr. Worcester called in the churchmen county choirs were called first, with responses from the Mt. Morath A. M. E. Church, Mt. Holly, Rev. A. Whitel pastor, with Mrs. C. Anderson as director, and Mrs. B. Borden town, Rev. W. C. Hoover, pastor, with Arthur Harris as director. The Borden town, choir proved its superiority over the Mt. Holly choir with an average of 80 as against 60 might be said the choir group to the required number, appearing with only nine members, but the requirement was dispensed with in their case. Three chords appeared loft the statewide contest: Mecedan town, Rev. Mr. Townsend, pastor, J. W. Freeman, director-winner in 1929; Bethany Baptist Church, Newark, Rev. L. Hurdie, pastor, P. A. Myers, dj record-second in 1929; and Baptist Temple, Rev. Ferdinand Morton, director-winner in 1928.
All of the groups gave excellent renditions, interpreting the Coleridge-Taylor composition with intelligent effectiveness. The judges, by comparison of their respective ratings, made independently each other, found that first place was awarded the Choir choir, with Atlantic City and Newark in the middle. The cup, a massive Denish silver creation, must be two times, and this year's winning gives Denish permanent position. This is the second cup, also given by Denish, that chair having

Muriel Stovell, Lyric Soprano, Sings Poorly
Occasionally it happens that a music reviewer must stop and wonder at some of the offering which are laid before music-lovers, usually with a boastful story of wonderful achievement, but which prove frequently to be even less than mediocre.
The honest reviewer of musical events is hard put to it, sometimes to speak-farily and of the effort of some aspiring but incapable musician, knowing, full well that any word of praise is underestimated, in the goodness of his heart, in the kind and gracious.
Be that as it may, it is difficult to find any word of commendation for the musical offerings* of Muriel Tinsley, presented to a fair-sized audience at the Grace "Church auditorium on Thursday night," May 29, by the Colors Club. Her ambition over-reached her ability by a considerable degree, as was shown by her photographs in German, Italian and French.
The voice itself is lacking in sweetness and color, and the absence of proper training is plainly to be seen. Much emphasis was placed in advance notice on the course of the Perfect Voice Instrument, but what that is, or where located is entirely beyond the ken of this reviewer. One thing appears to be true, however, and that is that it is nothing to brag about.
*Some relief was afforded by the piano playing of Hugo Bornn, who was a student of the Institute of Musical Art of the Juilliard Foundation. He was aided to some extent by the dramatic readings of Walter Davis Smith, Mr. Bornn played, numbers by Schumann, Ravel and Chopin, Mr. Davis gave readings by Simo, Poe and Ella Wheeler Willcox, Mr. Bornn played the accompaniments for Miss Stovell.

A breaking down of the "motor which operates the big instrument made it impossible for Mr. Chambres to have access to the instrument for practice until a late hour on Saturday morning, and so there are times in changing of registrations. Mr. Chambres' program opened with the Sonata No. 1, A Minor, by Borsokyi, followed with Spring Song" in Holliday's "Fugue on the Name Bach by Franz Liszt, and the Theme and Variations by Thiele, "Romance" by Lemare, Tocatae and Fugue in D Minor by Bacchus, and the Fifth Organ, Symphony concludes the organist's offerings.

MY PHILOSOPHY
At a missionary meeting which I attended last week, I was forcibly impressed with the zeal the women met, fested; a peculiar sort of zeal for a missionary gathering, it seemed to me, because these women from sections of New York State met expressly for a definite purpose
with the zeal the women manifested; a peculiar sort of zeal for a missionary gathering, it seemed to me, besides women from all sections of New York State met expressly for a definite purpose and not, once was the work men provided, not were the protesting it discussed and as much as a more extensive and效勢 program for practical good is needed by this particular group, singularly nothing was planned or outlined in this direction. Their aim was gathering in money and more money and they were so busy collecting that not even a prayer was offered.
This, and other instances of the kind have certainly made religion the biggest force of today. It is obvious to the dumbest that the church of today is only a money store, and the church of now twenty-th century dollars and cents. All its methods have been reversed, even soul-saving. No longer are they saved, but bought; but the "price" which was paid in advance two thousand years ago seems to be the same, and nowadays its soul is valued by the size of his contribution. Once the slogan of the church was "Come, without money and without price," now it is, "What price religion?" If the soul fails to keep up his dues, he must exert love his spiritual policy or remain out of benefit until it is paid up.
The distressing laxity of the church because of this monetary condition, has caused the great misses to turn from it with contempt, and has made them more than those inside, is the cry heard from all directions. Be that as it may, the fact remains if the church would gain the esteem and respect it has lost, it must remember that things were meant for upon things material for sustance. As much as money is needed, the One who created the universe was wise enough to understand hat, but He advised, "Take thought, though you may need nothing needed before we ask "Seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God and His RIGHTEOUSNESS and ALL things else will be added. To those who persist in maintaining that money would be required, all ages accepted in this one direction, let me say that He who bought the church

When an investment is made, it prepossess the idea that a suitable return will be made in the proposition. And when the venture has been working smoothly for years, to the more or less satisfaction of all interested parties, an inescapable condition arises which tends to jeopardize the investment, one begins to think and act promptly.
It is this prompt action which has caused the Savoy management to partially satisfy the Union authorities of the soundness of the composition of the Union's recent-ruling relating to orchestras playing in the Savoy. The ruling prohibited travelling orchestras from playing in the Savoy as heretiere. In effect, this confined the Savoy's work to Local 502 musicians exclusively, compelling them to hire only New York musicians.
The management, fearing that their inability, to hire out-of-town musicians—who they considered an attraction—appealed to the Union and was allowed it is said, by the last ruling of the Union to all year round (to have one of the two bands Local 802 men exclusively). (2) Have travelling bands for six months of the year for periods of two or more weeks, as they desire, but the aggregate term of the bands so engaged must not exceed six months. That a deposit of 30 percent be collected by Sergeant-at-Arms Munton, to be deposited in the coffers of Local 802, and given to the outgoing band at the end of their contract term. So these are the conditions on which the large ballroom will carry on giving worthwhile out-of-town bands a chance to get a piece of the metal, and heathen stimulating local talent to produce, keep out outside musicians from this congested area.
The policy of the Savoy, in hiring out-of-town musicians, has brought from time to time several good orchestras—that have been worthwhile in recent years. The 30 per cent referred to above is the usual excess charge, over and above this local's price, payable to musicians out of this jurisdiction who may be working in New York.

Pharmacist and Chemist
Massage is valuable for stimulating the circulation of the blood in the face; for toning up the muscles, for making the skin take up a little more cream or oil than it would if the cream were merely spread on and left. Chiefly, it is valuable for its stimulation.
Massage cream, sometimes called "rolling" cream, because when we apply, the cream to the skin we use a little force so as to get it in the skin, then we force it out, bringing with it whatever particles of dirt that has adhered to it.
Massage cream, for a time was of a glucosidal base; until of recent date, caesin has been used with great success as a base. These creams are not greasy, although they do contain a little fat, such as glycerine or cocoa butter, but just enjuice them from drying out. Neither do they contain medicinal. They are a good cleaner.
The nature of your skin will determine how often you should use the cream. It is not necessary to apply vigorously. Some people use massage cream daily, others find that two or three times a week is sufficient; still others need it but once a week. The simplest massage is to ease or straight up over the forehead. Next, mouth to the ear. The woman who wants to be her own beauty doctor should use the backs of the first three fingers of each hand for this—it is much easier than using the palms of the hands, and it is really the easy way to make those quick strokes from the corners of the mouth, out over the cheeks and upward to 'the back of the neck.' Downward stroke again, you work up and out, touch the ears, remove the fingers and start at the mouth again.
As you rub the day's dirt out of your pores your face not only looks younger, but your whole body seems to feel younger. Do you realize how much this look and feel of cleanliness counts in life? At dances, dinners, at social engagements, and at business you will find that clean faces stand for neat personal habits and an orderly mind.

Our Sisters of India
By Olivia D. Tucker, Ph. G.
What an immense part women are playing in the activities of India's new day which is dawning?
These women, who are martyrs for India's redemption, are outstanding in the usual traits of India's women.
In all cases, in all lands the group who steps aside from the beaten path, and is able to make their decision and abide by them, make groups that is thinking, not in terms of themselves, but for mankind.
It is only by such acts as these that we women can determine our progress from the weaving age; for when 'we realize the contribution that we can accomplish by bending the best that is in us, it is truly worth while. Just as we worked out grouping recreation, which, after all only lasts a few hours, we would be wise to accept a lesson from our sisters in India, and bend together into groups to seek out the best way of accomplishing something lasting in the life of mankind. India's women are forming groups, organizing plans not only for recreation, but for avocation and for lecture lectures, club of immense amount of discussion and interchange of ideas, today as result of these progressive groups composed of not only, wide awake thinking women but men included, we find that India under the direction of its leader Gandhi, has not only forced England, but the whole world, to give some thought to her group. Women magistrates, women at the head of hospitals, school boards and welfare centers.
The same heights that these women have attained in the light of India's welfare, our Negro women could accomplish the same.

LAW OF LIFE.
The law of life is thus: Who gives it is unnoticed; Who gives it is himself exalted; Who seeks to do a noble work is himself ennobled.

Harlem. Coen-has been with the orchestra since Allie started about six months ago.
For some reason, Allie served Coen with a 2-week's notice. The notice expired a few weeks ago. Allie hired one of Leroy Smith's trumpet players.
Coen then played it was time to claim the allied, nearly $100 for rehearsal and overtime, and brought charges accordingly in Local 802 for the money.
A new show has just gone into "Connue's". Coen claims he rehearsed this show and thought his job was O.K.
B. Union regulations on the orchestra must give the leader certain hours for rehearsal. It is assumed that Allie will base his defense along these lines.
We understand that there is rehearsing a ten-piece ladies hand at the Savoy. The exact use to which this novel hand will be placed seems to savor of mystery, as one no one seems to know whether it will be used for radio, dance or vaudeville engagements.
"Associated Colored Orchestra," broadcasting over a local radio station and advising persons, to call the station for talent, should call the more impressive programs if they desire response to their call, is the venture of some musicians who have heard some of the broadcasts.
The three seems to be distinct from the Harlem broadcasting Station of 133th street.
Will Tyers is brought back to memory quite frequently to radio listeners. His fine waltz themes and "Admiration" seems to be favored. A short white ago, listening to the Gordon Club, from his garbled statement one would have thought that Duke wrote, instead of re-arranged. "Admiration." And a few nights, later gift of Kentucky, floated the same time, played by a large orchestra. Ellison, better known as "Mose," among his friends, has for a year worked in a place at Broadway and 125th street. The novelty of the situation is that "Mose" is orchestra and entertainer all by himself. "Ifus with" no one to bother about if he is coming to work after pay day, or will be late again tonight, and if he wants to take anybody to the Union he will be plaintiff and defendant. "Mose" is happy in his job, well-tied and plays his hanko to the surprise of such guests as do not know him.

43 States Free From Lynchings During 1929
43 States Free From Lynchings During 1929
In its eighth annual honor roll of sates free from lynching, the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches shows that forty-three states had a clean record in 1929. While this show shows no increase over 1928, the states still recorded as free of the lynching evil, it shows a decided increase in comparison with the second year of the keeping of the Honor Roll, 1923, when only 39 states were free. The honor roll shows a total of the lynching in 1929, New Mexico, which dropped from the roll in 1928, has been restored, and Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee have been removed because of lynchings in 1929. The number of lynchings for 1929 shows a reduction of one since 1928, when there were seven victims, and one in 1929 in Florida, one each in Kentucky and Tennessee, one in Mississippi and three in Texas. 'Three of the victims were.white and seven Negro.

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYEES
By JAMES H. HOGANS
WALTER C. WILK
In a group as large as the Pullman porter or going of one member, rarely occasions any attention. Such, however, was not the case in the Wilkerson, whose death occurred on Saturday. Here was a case in which attention was consigned not merely from the fact that a well-known man from the fact that the member represented a group's best.
In a group as large as the Pullman porters group, the coming or going of one member, rarely occasions any more than passing attention. Such, however, was not the case in the going of Walter C. Wilkerson, whose death occurred on Saturday; May 24, in this city. Here was a case in which attention was conspicuous, and this came not merely from the fact that a well-known member had passed, but from the fact that the member, represented a type—a type of the group's best.
Walter Wilkerson chose to be an humble Pullman porter; no one ever heard him express a desire to work in the examination. This is considered remarkable for a man of his own choice, chosen any other field, the result would have been the same, his going would have been occasion for regrets. Men of the type he was do not live in vain, no matter in what field of life they labor. With the porter group he was not only the most consciousness, sobriety and amiable disposition, but he was also admired for the healthy interest. He took on all matters pertaining to the industrial and fraternal betterment of the group. In the latter connection, he was admired by Pullman porters Benefit Association's local lodge in the New York District.
fying him that the request had been granted. It is said that he made class C in the examination. This is considered remarkable for a man of his own choice, chosen any other field, the result would have been occasion for regrets. Men of the type he was do not live in vain, no matter in what field of life they labor. With the porter group he was not only the most consciousness, sobriety and amiable disposition, but he was also admired for the healthy interest. He took on all matters pertaining to the industrial and fraternal betterment of the group. In the latter connection, he was admired by Pullman porters Benefit Association's local lodge in the New York District.
As an employee, he was ever loyal to the interests of the Pullman service. His loyalty here was unquestionable. There was never a doubt that he was wise. Whatever ideas he may have entertained along the lines of industrial betterment for his group, he never allowed those ideas to become over-articulate or blatant. He worked as a porter, might well he termed a period of profit to the Pullman service, for not only was he the highly efficient employee, but his personal life was of such character that it tended to raise his profile. He was a new plane. Slowly but surely, the Pullman porter of today is being viewed in a different light from that which he was viewed years ago, and the change in perspective has been brought about by the office of the Pullman. The degree of esteem in which he was held was illustrated by the number of mourners who attended the funeral services, which were held at Mother Zion Church, and the number of pieces that he owned on his burial mound in Evergreen Cemetery.
Walter Wilkerson has passed from the Pullman picture, but he never time nor circumstance will encease completely his name.
Mott Haven Yard News
Not since the death of Harry Jackson, a Pullman porter in this district, which occurred several years ago, has the passing of a member of the porters' group here been so successful that the death of Walter Wilkerson, Like the late Porter Jackson, Porter Wilkerson was highly esteemed by all the boys. The extent of this feeling 'was portrayed at the funeral services of the deceased at Mother Zion Church on Tuesday evening of last week. Apparently, every porter in the district was present at that evening, was present. Aside from the porters, the district office was represented by Superintendent J. H. McDermott; the employment bureau by W. C. Taylor; the welfare department by S. Freeman, and the porter-instructor, success by C. H. Hunter and J. H. Mingo.
The pall bearers were G. Ferguson, W. C. Slater, W. Andrews, J. Richardson, O. M. Ford and Gus Williams, O. M. Ford and resolution was imposed by the University of P. P. B. A., also one from the Star Venus Club. Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor of the church, conducted the services. J. H. Carter, a veteran porter, who operated over the New Haven Hospital on May 16, Boston for many years, died at Harlem Hospital on May 26 from a complication of diseases. Funeral services were held from St. Mark's Catholic Church on Friday morning. May 30. Interment was held on Friday. For advice on how to be active, and enjoy normal health after 70, see Porter William Parnell. Several weeks ago, Parnell, who had reached the age of retirement, requested an extension of time. This extension was granted, and it provided they can pass the medical examination. Several days since, Parnell received a letter from Chicago moti-

This is considered remarkable for a Memorial Day travel from this terminal started off at a slow clip, but on Thursday and Friday it got into its usual stride. Late Friday night Mott Haven Yards had the appearance of a new York tax garage on a tany night, so denuded of cars was the yards. Incidentally, the fewer idle Pullmans there are, the more business there is for porters.
Penn Terminal Notes
By J. T. REID
Our game with the Steinway Piano Co. last Wednesday, May 28 was called off on account of rain. The first big game of the season was played Tuesday, June 3, with the White Pullman A, C, who are in same game as the Black Martini Rifle will start his star battles, Fennell and Scott, Friday, June 6 when the team plays the Daily Star. Watch this column for results of the above two games.
Our travelling instructor, J. D. Bannister from J. T. Ransom's office, with us May 27 to 31 and again brought our young men a message of good cheer and judging from the performance of his talk we are of the opinion that all of our young porters welcome Mr. Bannister in our midst. He gave the boys some good advice in regards to their duties. We believe if our young men and a lot of our old men as well would carry out their instructions they will never have any trouble.
J. Sims who operated in Line 2489 died in Detroit, Friday, May 30, cause of death unknown. He lives at 247 West 144th street, Ap. 21, was a member of Manhattan, Lodge, a police station, and the Police Service offices since January 1914. He leaves a host of friends to mourn their loss.
J. A. Stewart want to know why W. Kearney refused to let him bring his bag to the yards last Tuesday morning. Well, John, for your information, W. Kearney has leased a cottage in the house. His family will move in about Thursday or Friday. We always said give W. Kearney and J. D. Blackman a chance. Poor fellows.
The following porters are still off sick: J. W. Moore, J. F. Porter, J. W. Hiley, N. G. H. Herrin, J. W. Graham, W. Demphs, J. H. Merrill, N. G. Tatum. We should visit our sick brother porters whenever we can for we know not the time when we too many become disabled. Boys if we too a man needs a friend. Boys if we too a man needs a friend. Let's all try and make it our duty to visit our sick.
Now we want to call your attention to June 15 when we will hold our memorial services at Abyssinian Baptist Church. The committee of arrangements are preparing a grand program for you and your friends. Come out and join us in our annual services. Every partner in our district was asked to get out Thursday, May 29, as we had about 100 extra cars to Atlantic City 'alone', and we were compelled to use every man we could get our hands on so if man in Pt. District tells you he hasn't out for 3 or 4 days just tell him it is his fault for not reporting.

108TH N.Y.A.M.E.ANNUAL CONFERENCE
108th Session of the A.M.E. Annual Conference, State of New York, Is Held In New York City, May 22-June 1
Met With St. John's Church, East 128th St. Bishop Joshua A. Jones Presiding-Bethel and Bridge St. Lead In Dollar Money
"We are living in a democracy and must remember that mentality and culture are the main governing forces. Education is the big motivating power. We cannot be masters with a chained mind."
"This was one of the outstanding thoughts of Bishop Joshua H. Jones in his opening address to the members of the 108th annual session of the New York Conference of the A. M. E. Church, which met at St. John's A. M. E. Church, the Rev. L. H. Miggette, pastor, May 28 to June 1. In stressing the great need of education along all lines for our group the bishop made other forceful points.
Nichols was returned to Emanuel and Dr. L. H. Miggette was reappointed to St. John's. In order to aid him in his work the bishop personally aided in the collection of $400 for his church. Dr. Miggette comes from the N. C. Conference where he made a splendid record. Former presiding Elder C. P. Cole was set back to Bethel, Brooklyn
He stated that he had no patience with those who will not foster education among us. He also stated that he -must not neglect our boys and girls as to education, for this will aid them in bing great intellectual, social and moral forces when it is directed along the right lines. He also made a plea for a greater respect for our women, and urged the members of the clergy to have high ideals and make the best possible man of themselves.
Drs. Tyler And. Clark Returned
The Revs. Edward Ernest Tyler and Edward E. Clark, pastors of the two leading churches in the conference, were returned to their charges. Dr. Tyler is the pastor of Bridge Street A. M. E. Church and has served seven years. Last year he was indorsed by this and other conferences for the bishopric. There has been demands for him to go to other big churches, but the bishop does not want to lose him because of the work he is doing. At the conference, Bishop Heard, who was visiting, paid Dr. Tyler a high tribute, and stated that he would do all he could to aid him along all lines. Dr. Clark is the pastor of Bethel Church and came here after the death of the late Dr. H. K. Spearman in the latter part of 1928. Dr. Clark has done great work at Bethel and is regarded as one of the outstanding scholars and preachers of the connection.
There were not any changes in the other principal churches of the conference. The two presiding elders were also retained. Dr. D. Ward
